Whisk(e)y Business Whisk(e)y Business

A kind of long time ago, on a mobile conference platform far, far away...



In the first ever (released) locationally-challenged Whiskey Bitness: Uniqlo stores get EVEN smaller, HARK! a new Yoho Brewing release, boxers and turtles (or adulthood, for that matter) don't mix, "Sweet Potato, I shochu-choose you!" (and it has a picture of a train), drinking with (just barely) in-laws, and hear about our Whiskey Business Whiskey Wishlists for the near future.



Happy Drinking!

DROP AND GIVE ME 88! Minutes of podcast that is!



Join the Business Lads as they delve into their first taste of 100% Corn Whiskey, their first non-glass bottle with Platte Valley., and their most pun-tacular title yet!



In this episode we learn that Michael Crichton isn't for kids, the (likely, but not confirmed) origin story of Denny's, Fantasy Rogers is still a Human, Mel longs for the urban fields of his dreams, Karl lacks dixie band credentials of any kind, the Lads give you all a quick serenade, and Southern Cartman stops in to say 'ey!'.

A wild GUEST appears! The Business Lads use MAKE A SHORT EPISODE! It's not very effective...



Join the Business Lads and Special Guest Ben Guest on what might be (really not too keen on going through to check) the longest episode we've ever produced! We'll get childish, wildish, occasionally mildish, and talk you through this episode's bottle "the non-creepy uncle" of one of our favorite whiskeys so far. Topics range from things you're allowed to have with soda water, Japanese company drink-driving policies, alcohol-free highballs, late night train debauchery, the differences between drinking alone in a pub versus a bar, poker and bluffing, cardomom, more movies that Rogers hasn't seen, animal plurals and collective nouns, a little bit on Japanese language and kanji, and comparisons to this week's bottle's, ummm, neice? Nephew?



The book mentioned during the episode, 'Cash Crash Jubilee' by Eli K. P. William, is available on Amazon here:

In the latest epsiode of Whiskey Business, the Business Lads encounter their deepest fear - a moral dilemma and a traitor in our midst!



Listen in for the apparently perfect formula for a Takoyaki party, the WB Court of Justice (where roles appear to be in a constant state of flux), the creation of a new (and delicious, if at the time unwelcome) cocktail, baseball lows all-round for Tokyo, the genetic origin story of Karl's love of alcohol, and a bunch about TV shows (but surprisingly little about movies, for once). Rogers calls himself out, Karl just wants to escape so badly, and Mel gets put on creative probation. All this and much more!

Back after a pretty long absence, the Business Lads pop in to the Baird Beer Taproom Nakameguro to sample the 2017 edition of Hop Havoc.



Mel finds that people expect more of him now that he has moved up an age rank, Rogers gets let outside after dark, and Karl learned that people really weren't making up that babies are great, despite outward appearances.

DING DING! Episode 11 sees the Business Lads step into the ring with the 58th, 59th, and 60th Prime Minister of Japan, the long-dead Hayato Ikeda!



Join us as we sling verbal left crosses, uppercuts, and haymakers at our venerable opponent across topics such as cherry blossoms, the Kanda river, anime, whether or not to wash a lemon, the late and great Bill Paxton, banana spots and safety for tots, unpleasant medical procedures, coriander/cilantro speculation, Starburst flavours, Starship Troopers, everyone gets eaten by Space Worms, and some terrible Cockney accents get strewn about.



The Lads say goodbye to a venue, Hayato Ikeda causes everyone a lot of trouble, Karl makes stuff up and passes it off as fact even more than usual, Mel gives an important Highball PSA and trips over his sentences even more than usual, and Rogers pitches one of the greatest curveballs in WB history. It's a Technical Knock Out!



Also, fun fact: it turns out that Americans (incorrectly) say "COR jul", and Commonwealth folks say "COR dee ul".



P.S. That was Amanda Bynes, not Miley Cyrus, apologies.
