Episode 45 - Crossing "The Line" (CIPP)

Put away the kids* because it is time for yet another amazing episode of America, Greenland, and New Zealand's Favorite Podcast: Drinks With Josh (with your host, Ben)! In this episode, we find Josh slumming from the very beginning as he brings a wholly inappropriate gift to Ben from his recent travels to Vegas. He keeps it that way the whole episode, causing Ben to realize that Josh may not have crossed the line, but become it himself.

Along with this hard hitting revelation, Ben and Josh discuss chicken fried steak portions, Josh's Aussie craving, and Ben introduces some new segments to the show (one of which is kind of depressing). Josh also proudly defends his awful Twitter behavior while requiring Ben to explain to him what soup is. Really.

Then there's your usual dose of Braindead Trivia and another of the world's most trusted drink reviews. Oh yeah, and the minor matter of the show going on strike until we get another drink request**. Nothing big or anything.

So put down the safety bar and strap in for the latest, greatest episode of Drinks With Josh!

*-Seriously, don't listen to this in front of kids. What the hell is wrong with you?

Episode 44 - I Heart New York (DILIIT)

After an intolerable wait, life is good again! That's right, Drinks With Josh (with your host, Ben) makes its triumphant return atop Drink Mountain. In this episode, the boys use the magical power of beverages to travel to the Empire State. Their mission? To try New York's most famous of alcoholic beverages. Also, to banter about other adult pursuits such as gambling and the infamous "back rooms" found in certain video establishments. Speaking of gambling, get ready to place your bets on another exciting round of Braindead Trivia or try your luck at Josh's newest gaming sensation: Cupcake Russian Roulette. Which one did he befoul? Hopefully not the one you're eating! All this and more is coming your way! So fire up the coffee pot, grab a mug, and sober up (we're looking at you, Ben), because it's time for America's Favorite Podcast*: Drinks With Josh!

*-Also New Zealand and Greenland's Favorite Podcast.

I heart DOWNLOADING this amazing episode!

We're nothing if not "street." Only people who are "street" put it in quotes.
Josh's badass Nottingham ale tankard/pimp cup.
It looks better than it is. That's saying something.
Josh brought cupcakes! I don't think he even knows why.
If this was your choice for Cupcake Russian Roulette, you have lost.
If you look closely, you can see the disturbing "chunks" that developed in Ben's cup. He drank it anyway.

Episode 43 - DWJ Gets A Brazilian (GA)

Drinks With Josh, with your host, Ben, makes its triumphant return! In this very important episode, we find that Ben has a new...career...as a hobo. Then, Josh reveals his past as a famous movie star. The star-studded show continues, with appearances by some famous historical figures. It's like a new Bill and Ted movie when (little) Caesar shows up with some pizza and Fidel Castro turns up at the local amusement park. Plus, the in-depth academic discussions you've come to expect from America's (and Greenland's and New Zealand's) Favorite Podcast; covering topics from GGILFs to cafe birds to the difference between Jimmy and Lance Armstrong. Of course, we've got your "gaming" needs covered with our beloved over/under system for Braindead Trivia. That's right, it's a jam packed episode, and that's before you even get to the drink! So get on the right side of history, join the masses for another amazing episode of Drinks With Josh!

Episode 42 - The Sincerest Form Of Flattery (FBCC)

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if that's true, then Ben is flattering Josh to an insane degree. That's right, Ben decides to do this episode as "Josh," and with an impression as good as his, it is hard to tell them apart.

While you try and figure out that mystery, the boys also discuss TV theme songs, why Josh is giving all his money to his new friend Paul, Josh's new boots, and the all-time classic "The Einstein Show". Plus, Braindead Trivia, the drink review, and THE GREATEST ENDING IN DWJ HISTORY (complete with Josh throwing his mic away).

So grab a croissant and join America, Greenland, and New Zealand's favorites, Ben and Josh, on the spiffy new Drinks With Josh!

Here's the pre-show video of Ben scaring the hell out of Josh. You know, cuz he's a terrible person.

This can is a little too cool and futuristic considering the product it contains.

Episode 41 - Take One For The Team (WBBB)

Ah yes, Ben and Josh are back, seated on their thrones atop Drink Mountain, ready to review another beverage just for you! This time, they've got a bit of a surprising product from a local brewery. It inspires a very frank discussion about early mormon president, Jason Alexander. The boys also have a nice chat about Josh's Greenlandic skills, Ben's blackjack skills, and just who has the skills to do the most horrendous cleaning job on Earth. Then Josh struggles through another round of Braindead Trivia; one that will have you screaming at your radio...er, computer...or whatever. It all culminates in a desperate plea for an admittedly rough charitable "donation." Who will finally "Take One For The Team"? Get the latest DWJ and find out...it might even be you (although, for your sake, I hope it's not).

Josh might actually have a point...
Hopefully someone other than Brigham brewed it. 150 year old root beer isn't really our thing.

Episode 40 - Egg Noggy Nogg (DWJ Christmas #2)

Christmas is back and so is Drinks With Josh! In keeping with the season, Ben gives Josh his very first taste of that holiday classic: egg nog. And no, it's not alcoholic, but if that helps you excuse some of Josh's behavior, by all means, pretend that it is. Ben busts out the Santa hat, the bells, and a Christmas version of Braindead Trivia. Josh brings an attitude that would make Ebeneezer Scrooge blush. Of course. So get to listening, and celebrate Christmas the way it's supposed to be celebrated: with Drinks With Josh! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Have us climb down your chimney (aka download) here!

Episode 39 - Warts and All (FS)

We have finally returned! Once the celebrations calm down, we can continue... Anyway, the boys are busy, so this episode comes (mostly) unedited. That's right, now you can finally get all the uncomfortable pauses, coughs, grunts, stories that go nowhere and everything else you've been craving! Plus, since we missed Halloween, Ben and Josh decide to go "Trick or Treating" at the local Asian market. They might have gone to the Indian market instead, but there was a...mishap. Josh will tell you all about it (he'll tell everyone about it, apparently). With the trick or treating comes an idea for a future spin-off: AMCwJaB! It just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? In this episode, we've also got our (patent pending) Braindead Trivia, Ben mispronouncing nearly everything, and live play by play of the parking lot! Does it get any better? No, it likely doesn't. Prove it to yourself by listening to the latest Drinks With Josh!

No tricks, just the treat of a DOWNLOAD!
