    EP-49 Bowman on Bowman: The Alexandria Taste Test

    Send us Fan Mail One year of Old Fashioned Friendship is right around the corner, and the boys are celebrating the only way they know how: cracking open a rare Bowman Brothers Alexandria Blend and immediately spiraling into absolute chaos. What starts as a legit bourbon tasting turns into a full‑blown front‑porch marathon featuring longboarding injuries, giant mutant lake fish at Mount Trashmore, the evolution of weed from “sprinkle it in the brownie mix” to “50mg gummies that erase time,” and a deep dive into youth sports parents who think their kid is the next Shohei Ohtani. Along the way, they uncover Virginia Beach’s soon‑to‑be largest ABC store, debate whether they should pretend to be bourbon YouTubers on opening day, compare tasting notes like professionals who absolutely are not professionals, and plan a future guys’ weekend that will definitely get out of hand. It’s messy, it’s honest, it’s hilarious, and it’s exactly the kind of conversation you’d overhear on a porch at 11pm with a good pour in hand. Cheers to almost a year — and to episode… whatever number this is. Support the show Instagram Facebook Visit our Merch store! TheOldfashonedfriendship@gmail.com

    Ep 48 BBNC & the Best‑of‑the‑Best Blind Barrel Beatdown

    Send us Fan Mail In Episode 48, the boys celebrate being one month away from a full year of Old Fashioned Friendship — and they brought backup. Brandon’s cousin from New Jersey joins the table, one of the original architects of his beer obsession, and the crew immediately spirals into stories of Zwanze Day, magnums of bon-chein, drunk zoo festivals, and why you should never mix motorcycles with beer. Then it’s time for the main event: a super‑blind Blind Barrels tasting featuring four mystery pours from the “Best of the Best” release. The trio tries to guess proof, age, and grain… and instead ends up debating butter notes, popcorn vibes, dead goldfish water, fake peat, and whether one sample tasted like a wet dog covered in caramel. There’s 3D‑printing dioramas, Pokémon card flexing, space‑man décor, tax‑guy conspiracies, and the eternal struggle of trying not to say “mouthfeel.” It’s chaotic. It’s boozy. It’s BBNC.

    EP-47 Poop Shoots & Bottle Hunts

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Old Fashioned Friendship, Bobby unveils his newest hyperfixation: a shiny new 3D printer that has instantly taken over his life, his house, and apparently his entire personality. From banana katanas to butterfly builds to discovering the horrifying truth about multi‑color print “poops,” the guys break down the chaos of learning a machine that won’t stop… well… pooping. While Bobby’s printer is running nonstop, the boys also dive into one of their wildest bourbon hunts yet — stumbling into a rare E.H. Taylor score that feels like winning the whiskey lottery. They break down the bottle, the hype, the flavor, and the absolute madness of bourbon culture in classic OFF fashion. Add in tiny‑home rabbit holes, bear‑spray debates, childhood snack nostalgia, and the kids gearing up for their first D&D dungeon crawl, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts cozy, chaotic, and unmistakably Old Fashioned Friendship. Pour a glass, hit play, and enjoy the ride. Support the show Instagram Facebook Visit our Merch store! TheOldfashonedfriendship@gmail.com

    EP- 46 Does It Old-Fashioned? — The 1792 Episode

    Send us Fan Mail The guys crack open a bottle of 1792 and immediately derail into bourbon history, statehood beef, and whether Kentucky “succeeded,” “seceded,” or just did whatever cousins do when they’re mad at each other. From there, it’s pure Old Fashioned Friendship energy: limo memories, prom‑night chaos, Miata slander, and a surprising amount of lawn‑equipment philosophy. This week also includes longboarding laps at Mount Trashmore, a six‑hour Pokémon Go relapse, and the kind of home‑repair saga that starts with “I’ll fix it Tuesday” and ends with a mower screaming like a dying spaceship. Add in 3D‑printer hype, new‑hobby danger, and a little bit of yard‑tool flexing, and you’ve got a full plate. Finally, the big question: Does 1792 Old‑Fashioned?   Spoiler: not even a little. It’s bourbon, chaos, nostalgia, and friendship — shaken, stirred, and served with zero judgment. Support the show Instagram Facebook Visit our Merch store! TheOldfashonedfriendship@gmail.com

    EP 44 Widow Jane, Pollen Pain, and the Great Candy Debate

    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 why a 94% rye blend convinced one of them to buy a bottle on the spot. (And yes — the OFFCAST10 code gets mentioned more than once.) Then things get beautifully off the rails: • A full breakdown of 3D‑printing struggles, clogged nozzles, and the birth of an RFID‑enabled bottle opener • A passionate, borderline‑emotional rant about Virginia pollen, Benadryl naps, and why every car becomes yellow • A deep dive into candy rankings, from S‑tier Take 5s to the existential disappointment of Three Musketeers • Childhood snack strategies, pizza‑roll warfare, and the eternal question: Do you eat pumpkin seeds with or without the shell? It’s classic Old Fashioned Friendship energy — bourbon, chaos, nostalgia, and absolutely zero ability to stay on topic. Stick around for the final verdict on Widow Jane’s Vault, updates on TikTok growth, and a reminder to check out the merch sale and Blind Barrels partnership. Cheers, and drink responsibly.

    EP 43 Brandon Builds, Bobby Breaks, Lucky 13 Saves the Day

    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 ABC store jackpot and walks out with Widow Jane Lucky 13, a bottle so good it nearly distracts them from the fact that neither of them has any business starting new hobbies. The chaos includes: Brandon’s office glow‑up and the existential joy of “finally getting shit done”Bobby’s first steps into 3D printing, featuring: bad filament, worse decisions, and a surprising amount of optimismRandom dudes at the liquor store taking pictures of Brandon’s hoodie like he’s a bourbon influencerThe ongoing bourbon‑collection crisis and the dream of a real studio barA full Lucky 13 tasting that turns into a love letter to Widow JaneA perfect blend of projects, pours, and two friends spiraling into new hobbies with the confidence of men who absolutely should not be trusted with power tools or limited releases.

    EP42 From A. Smith Bowman to Caiseal: Tours, Tasting, and Total Audio Failure

    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 tours… and right in the middle of all that magic, we discovered our microphones were absolutely, completely, irreversibly broken. Nothing says “professional podcasters” like realizing your audio gear died at the exact moment you’re recording in a historic distillery. Then we headed to Caiseal, where we tasted everything they make, hung out with the head distiller, and recorded a full episode in their speakeasy — this time with microphones that actually worked, because we panic‑bought replacements at Best Buy on the drive home like the responsible adults we pretend to be. We also dive into: The Bowman rye we now have to wait a decade forLosing an entire video because the camera decided to film in slow‑motion potato modeScoring a signed bottle like the bourbon nerds we proudly areThe long‑awaited merch drop, finally live after a year of “next week”And the car crash that kicked off this whole circusPour a drink, settle in, and enjoy the episode that proves we are one equipment failure away from becoming a documentary about podcasters who tried their best.
