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 hand, cameras on the horizon, and the dream of filming our first distillery tour. We talk lotteries (Pappy and Bowman), proxies, and the financial black hole that is “a passion project.”

Then things go off the rails — in true OFF fashion — with a full breakdown of Bucky’s bathrooms, gas‑station brisket, bar nostalgia, pool tables disappearing from America, and why fancy bars will never beat a good dive with loud music and questionable decisions.

If you’re here for bourbon reviews, friendship chaos, or just two guys spiraling into laughter over absolutely nothing, this one’s for you.

This week, the guys are broadcasting from what can only be described as Studio 2.1: part podcast room, part greenhouse, part plant‑rescue center. 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 boys dig into what’s coming next for the brand and how the studio might double as a print shop once the trees stop taking over.

Then it’s bourbon time. A surprise pickup of Blanton’s Black straight from Japan sparks a whole discussion about labels, rarity, and whether it’s actually any different from the U.S. release. That leads perfectly into the first pour of the Jefferson’s lineup, complete with a quick history lesson on why the brand is named after Thomas Jefferson and not… well, the other one.

Along the way you’ll hear:
• Conspiracy theories about phones listening
• Backyard mud disasters
• Stress‑cooking entire chickens
• The economics of lunch
• And the eternal truth that leftovers are king

It’s everything you expect from Old Fashioned Friendship — bourbon, banter, and beautifully unhinged storytelling from start to finish.

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 an entire generation, the conversation swerves harder than Greg’s old Thunderbird on bald tires. There’s even a detour into government gas subsidies, the size of Europe, and why firstborn children apparently absorbed all the lead in the 70s.

It’s bourbon‑soaked chaos, automotive therapy, and the kind of episode where you learn something by accident and laugh on purpose. Buckle up — this one goes from zero to “how did we get here” real fast.

This week on The Old Fashioned Friendship, Bobby and Brandon pour a drink and immediately derail into pure, unfiltered chaos. 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 reverse alarm louder than your music.

But the real spiral begins when the guys dive into their latest obsession: building RC boats that are absolutely destined to confuse future archaeologists. They debate waterproofing strategies that sound like rejected MythBusters experiments, brainstorm rescue‑bobber systems for when (not if) the boats sink, and try to remember whether grease, rope, or a rubber glove is the correct solution for a spinning metal shaft going through wood. Spoiler: they’re not sure, but they’re committed.

Between dad‑life updates, work chaos, and the kind of overthinking that would make an engineer weep, this episode is peak Old Fashioned Friendship — messy, hilarious, and powered entirely by bourbon and misplaced confidence. If you’ve ever wanted to hear two grown men design a boat like they’re preparing for the apocalypse, this one’s a ride.

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 classic Old Fashioned Friendship chaos. The trio jumps from movie mashups (like Breakfast Club meets Mighty Ducks and Talladega Nights crashing into Glory) to deep dives on sweet tea addictions, burnt‑food childhood trauma, and the universal disappointment of modern Chick‑fil‑A sandwiches. They debate cauliflower “wings,” the tragedy of canned tuna, and the art of blowing out your taste buds with hot sauce until nothing but ghost peppers can hurt you anymore.

Pat shares stories from the trenches of culinary school and restaurant life — the long hours, the burns, the camaraderie, and the pride that comes with finally being called “chef.” Meanwhile, Bobby and Brandon drift into memories of their infamous backyard tent days: smoking hookah in the winter, running cable lines through the yard, drinking terrible tequila, and building a makeshift clubhouse that somehow didn’t collapse or catch fire… until it did.

The episode also hits on bourbon hunting, the heartbreak of missing rare bottles, and the small victories when you finally score something like E.H. Taylor without selling a kidney. Between the nostalgia, the laughter, and the questionable life choices, the guys keep circling back to what matters most: good food, good drinks, and twenty years of friendship that somehow survived tents, tequila, and terrible decisions.

If you’re here for laughs, stories, bourbon talk, or just to feel like you’re hanging out with old friends, this episode delivers all of it — plus a chef who might just become a recurring character.

Episode 34 picks up after a long holiday break, and the guys have a lot to catch up on — Christmas parties, family jam sessions, retail burnout, and the slow crawl back into normal life. 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 there, the conversation drifts into a surprisingly deep and hilarious rabbit hole: RC boat building, woodworking strategies, epoxy debates, and the economics of handcrafted model boats. And just when you think the episode can’t pivot again, it dives headfirst into Dungeons & Dragons — world‑building, NPC logic, fantasy politics, gods, death, and the creative engine behind running a campaign.

It’s an episode that somehow blends bourbon tasting, holiday chaos, hands‑on creativity, and full‑blown fantasy storytelling into one smooth pour. A perfect mix of chill, nerdy, and unexpectedly thoughtful.

In Episode 32 of Old Fashioned Friendship, Brandon and Bobby settle in for another night of bourbon, banter, and the kind of stories that only come from two decades of friendship. This week, the guys continue their Widow Jane series with the Apple Wood Rye — a bottle that has Brandon nervous, Bobby excited, and both of them curious to see if this might finally be the rye that converts a lifelong bourbon drinker.

Before the first sip, the conversation spirals (in classic fashion) into everything from updating their long‑ignored Top Gear bourbon list to D&D Sundays, friends who never know what bottle to buy, and the eternal struggle of remembering which bourbons deserve a spot on the shelf. They dive into Christmas party prep, Secret Santa chaos, and the long‑awaited arrival of the Remus Babe Ruth bottle — a chase that’s been months in the making.

Along the way, they revisit old trophies, beer‑pong war stories, questionable home‑improvement decisions, and the philosophy of giving gifts that actually mean something. It’s equal parts nostalgia, chaos, and genuine appreciation for good whiskey and good company.

With the Apple Wood Rye poured and the holiday season in full swing, this episode is warm, funny, and unmistakably Old Fashioned Friendship — where the bourbon is smooth, the stories are real, and the laughs never stop.
