2026/04/03

Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode, the guys crack open Widow Jane: The Vault 15‑Year, a limited‑release bottle finished in Mediterranean oak “sacred to Zeus” — which immediately sends them down a rabbit hole of mythological wood, tasting legs, and why this bourbon somehow manages to be both flavorful and bone‑dry at the same time. From there, the conversation swerves into Blind Barrels, including a recap of a recent blind tasting, the master blender who jumped on their livestream, and w...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 43 opens with Brandon knee‑deep in home‑renovation glory, proudly transforming his office into a functional adult space—while simultaneously printing enough painter’s triangles to build a small, structurally sound pyramid. Bobby, newly indoctrinated into the 3D‑printing cult thanks to Brandon’s hand‑me‑down printer, immediately tests the limits of Hobby Lobby filament and his own patience. Between the smell of PLA and sawdust, the bourbon gods smile. Brandon hits the ...

2026/03/20

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the “secret” episode — the one we didn’t plan, didn’t schedule, and only made because March decided to body‑slam us. Between distillery tours, merch drops, and a car crash, we’re finally catching our breath long enough to tell the story. We kick things off at A. Smith Bowman, where we somehow ended up with a private‑feeling tour, a ghost sighting, and a crash course in how single‑barrel bottling really works. Holly delivered a tour so good it ruined all future tour...

EP 41 Sipping Booker’s and Spending Money We Don’t Have

Old Fashioned Friendship ·

2026/03/13

Send a text This week on Old Fashioned Friendship, the boys crack open a long‑awaited bottle of Booker’s 24‑04 “Jimmy’s Batch” and immediately spiral into bourbon history, bad math, and even worse singing. Between the heat of a 62.9% pour and the chaos of a mid‑week recording session, they somehow manage to celebrate a huge win: landing a rare Bowman Brothers 10‑Year Single Barrel in the Virginia lottery. Another distillery trip is officially on the calendar, and the Bowman shrine grows stron...

EP40 Basil Hayden: A Pour Everyone Tries Once

Old Fashioned Friendship ·

2026/03/06

Send a text This week, the guys kick things off by choosing their bottle on the fly and landing on Basil Hayden—the classic “gateway bourbon” that everyone tries at least once. From the bottle’s gimmicky wrap to its famously light proof, they break down what makes it approachable, what makes it divisive, and where it fits in a bourbon drinker’s journey. From there, the conversation spirals in true OFF fashion: broken mic clamps, duct‑tape solutions, new studio dreams, and the eternal struggle...

Send a text Episode 39 brings a bottle with a story — Woodinville Port Finished Bourbon — and somehow turns into one of our most chaotic, nostalgic, and unexpectedly heartfelt episodes yet. We crack open a $40 Washington bottle that punches way above its weight, debate whether it’s better neat or as an old fashioned, and accidentally discover that simple syrup might be the real star of the show. Between sips, we dive into the behind‑the‑scenes grind of growing the podcast: merch finally in ha...

Between ficus drama, cold‑weather casualties, and debates about which trees get custody upstairs, the episode opens with peak Old Fashioned Friendship chaos. From there, the conversation shifts into merch madness — hat sizing, shirt fits, sticker sheets, and the dream of one day owning a heat press that doesn’t cost a small fortune. The ...

Send a text This week on Old Fashioned Friendship, the guys crack open a bottle of Bib & Tucker Double Oak and immediately lose all sense of direction — geographically, mechanically, and emotionally. What starts as a simple chat about small trucks turns into a full‑blown dealership confessional featuring Tacoma slander, Frontier glow‑downs, and a passionate TED Talk on why hybrids should’ve been mandatory since 2008. From electric cars dying on the lot to the Prius ruining hybrid PR for a...

The episode opens with a fake sponsorship from “SquareZone,” quickly followed by a heartfelt tribute to the Geo Metro — a car neither of them has ever driven but both feel morally obligated to roast. From there, the conversation swerves into golf‑cart commuting, backing into Food Lion like it’s a NASCAR pit stop, and the social consequences of having a r...

Send us a text Episode 35 takes a sharp left turn from the usual bourbon‑only format as Bobby and Brandon welcome their longtime friend and classically trained chef, Pat, into the studio. Instead of reviewing a bottle, the guys dive into a night of homemade old fashioneds, perfectly seasoned chicken thighs, hot‑honey green beans, and a chef who knows exactly how to make a plate look fancy enough to question your own kitchen skills. What starts as a food‑centric episode quickly spirals into cl...

After weeks of waiting, they finally crack open the long‑anticipated Widow Jane Decadence, but not before swapping stories about forgotten uploads, single‑coverage shifts, and the annual Christmas tradition that nearly wiped everyone out.

From the artful deployment of the F-bomb to our future home improvement schemes, we explore what it means to dream big—and sometimes weird. Do get-rich-quick schemes ever pan out?
