Canadian Doubles minus one episode alert! That's right, it's a good old fashioned two man episode as Xander and Josh see what words tumble out of their mouths. Every cohost gets a doubles episode with Xander so let's see if Josh lives up to the high standards set by Ben Russell and Michael Grush.   He doesn't. But it's a damn fine episode regardless.   We review George Clooney blood aka Casamigos Tequila Blanco. We also get into some classic hot 'segs' and talk a bunch of nonsense about rubbish.   If you are brand new to this show and want to see what a normal episode is like, try ep. 100 (last Chicago one) or ep. 101. Those are solid, standard four person shows.   Search words for iTunes searchy-mc-search-search robots: tequila, blanco, resposado, anejo, booze, liquor, review, score, rating, comedy, ostensibly funny, improv, jokes, seriouses, statements, questions, ampersands, words, words, words

Alcoholics Eponymous Ep. 103 - Casamigos Tequila Blanco

If you like hot-mess episodes of classic podcasts, you are going to want to catch this episode where Xander, Josh, Graham, and special guest Xander's Dad aka Tim O'Connor MD aka Guy-Who-Knows-Wine-And-Hyphens.   Rather than review one type of alcohol, this episode features a few random wines (and our thoughts on them) and a bunch of questions for the wine-wisdom font that is Dr. Dad. There are also a couple classic stupid segments.   If you are a dedicated fan of this show or want a decent chunk of wine knowledge (but maybe fewer laughs), check out this episode. If you are new to the show and want a more representative sample, we recommend the previous episode, ep. 101.   Search terms for iTunes robot overlords (don't look at them, you fleshy idiots!): wine, red, white, reisling, booze, alcohol, review, score, rating, port, comedy, BUTTS, jokes, improv, BUTTS, and, of course...BUTTS.

Feel the hot sun of a podcast recorded in Los Angeles! Then get checked by your dermatologist! Finally, go see a typographer about your use of exclamation points!!! So, at long last, here is episode 101 of our fine, dumb, fine podcast, semi-freshly relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles. The location has changed, the co-host has changed, but all the arguably objectionable nonsense Xander and the guests spout is the same! So come join Xander, temporary/adjunct/ersatz cohost Josh Logan, and guests Alex Haney and (returning champ) Graham Jenkins as they taste inexpensive bubbly and debate the important topics of the day like "should you bring your sex sponge to work functions?" and "does the human hand count as a reusable container?". Hilarity ensues? Rest assured, if you play the podcast into your head-holes, the ensuing hilarity will have ensued.   Search keywords for iTunes robot overlords (humans, avert your fleshy gazes!): alcohol, champagne, cava, bubbly, review, score, rating, booze, comedy, jokes, silly, improv, stand up, sit down, touch your toes, rinse, repeat, keep rinsing until Jesus deems you clean!, are you still sitting down while touching your toes and rinsing and repeating?

This episode is a multi-threat! It is: the 100th episode! Xander's 33rd Birthday episode! The last Chicago episode! a special 5 person episode! and, last but definitely least, co-host Grush's last episode (till he sacks up and moves to LA)!   Join Darren Stephens, Travis Gilkeson, David "Coach" Lintzenich, Grush, and Xander as they sip the guaranteed-awesome Corzo Tequila Blanco and embark on an almost two hour long journey of verbal nonsense. This episode is a perfect cap to the first "hundo" as it is "a laff riot" (LA Dispatch-Picayune), "functionally audible" (Dubuque Audiophile Quarterly), and "not necessarily in good taste" (Fake Reviews Daily). Seriously, whether you are a fan of the show or this is your first episode, it is worth a listen. Taste the last drops of Chicago based and Grush co-hosted AE goodness. Nay, greatness! Nay again, very goodness.   iTunes keywords for robots and their human quisling allies: alcohol, booze, tequila, review, score, rating, comedy, improv, funny, funny tasting, stand up, sit down, roll over, bad dog, put him to sleep, no, not that kind of sleep, you dog murderer! drink, eat, be merry, be Mary, if you are so inclined, be wary lest ye fall befoul of the Ides of (insert month here).

This podcast could be described as Xander and Grush "rolling deep" with Samuel Priest and Carl Bowlby, but it shouldn't be. That's silly and also two people doesn't constitute "deep" vis-a-vis crew rolling size. Look, I don't want to get into a long thing about the appropriate terms for crew-depth, OK? Let's talk about the podcast. Xander, Grush, Sammy P, and the Bowl (nickname approval pending) review the lovely Twelfth of Never Ale (which just caused me to realize that I struggle to spell "twelfth") and talk a whole lot of nonsense. Anything else used to describe it would be superfluous and, frankly, a poor way to spend my finger-force and your eye-juice.

And thus we emerge from the mists of time...and laziness.  Behold our antepenultimate Chicago episode of the show: taking on Goldschlager's with Grush, Dr. Emily Beers, and Non-Dr. Travis Gilkeson.   This episode originally was a rare topical episode that relentlessly attacked renowned garbage-human Donald J. Trump (hence drinking a stupid, stupid, stupid gimmick drink like Goldschlager) but history since we recorded has turned making fun of him a lot less, uh, fun (for now). The show has been edited to remove basically all of that content.   What remains is classic Alcoholics Eponymous fun word nonsense.  Put it in your head-zone!   Keywords for iTunes robots (humans, stay back!

Here it is: a famous Alcoholics Eponymous DOUBLES EPISODE!   And now prepare to be disappointed: that means that this episode is just Xander and Grush, carrying the weight of four people (while appropriately enough having the actual combined weight of four people). We still have all the hot nonsense talk of a normal episode and all the hot nonsense segments with no dead weight; suck it, previous guests!   And yes, we do know that doubles tennis has four people in it.   In addition to discussing all things of worth (wildly inappropriately, of course), we review a limited edition Delirium Tremens called "Deliria". So, if you want a super inefficient way to find out about that beer, listen to this episode. Or don't. I am not your dad. Probably.   iTunes searchwords for Apple flavored robots: Belgian beer, ale, booze, liquor, review, score, rating, comedy, improv, stand up, jokes, silly, Chicago, fists, fisticuffs, fisting, cufflinks, fistlinks, Skynet has fists!

What goes better with a creamy white boozy drink than...DEATH?!? Answer: this podcast. Grush and Xander welcome back Coach (David Lintzenich) and Dr. Lady Doctor Death MD, Emily Beers (who may or may not also be Xander's fiancee!). The not-boresome foursome don't discuss death all that much but they do talk a lot of nonsense while drinking the eminently unobjectionable White Russians. There is silliness. A great deal.

Alcoholics Eponymous Ep. 96 - White Russian

You know the drill: get out of the car and run around it and get back in. OK, maybe that isn't the drill in this particular instance of "knowing the drill". Join Xander, Grush, Wes, and Patrick Zunich as they review a sweet blue juice that contains 12.5% alcohol. Unsurprisingly, the child-mouthed Grush loves it (spoiler alert! Too late! Also, better than him mouthing a child, to be fair). More importantly, the episode of course is mostly fun nonsense including a PSA from a universe of exclusively conjoined twins and a love advice letter about how to propose to a woman with no fingers. Energy veal patties also make an appearance.    search terms for iTunes robot overlords: comedy, funny, silly, jokes, stand up, improv, Chicago, alcohol, booze, 151, review, rating, score, horse race, horse meat, glue glue glue, horse face, horse face meat glue in a race (it loses)

Michael Grush, Aaron Sutherland, Xander O'Connor, and Wes Nott walked into a podcast studio. There was also a priest, a rabbi, and a giant duck. Knock knock. What do you get when you cross two hacky joke structures? Like a certain number of licks, the world may never know.   Join us as we drink the terribly named but very fun and tasty Irish Car Bombs and, as usual, get really inappropriate and riff on some lovely nonsense.   (Like the last episode (93), this episode would be an excellent first one to hear if you are new to the show. It is both pretty great and also representative of what the show is about; if you don't like this episode, it is probably not the show for you).   Search terms for iTunes robots: comedy, funny, silly, jokes, improv, stand up, Chicago, booze, liquor, alcohol, review, score, rating, nickles, dimes, nickle and dime someone, eat a piggy bank's pork chops, drop a dime on someone, eat a bag of pennies and then regret it.

The following four men were painfully turned into audio files via an ancient gypsy steampunk curse machine and then bewitched into haunting this particular episode of the podcast for all time: David "Coach" Lintzenich, Travis "His first name is Steve" Gilkeson, Michael "Please just call me Grush" Grush, and, of course, Xander "Xander O'Connor" O'Connor. Listen to their trapped voice-souls suffer for your amusement! They review the surprisingly pleasant Grey Goose vodka and tell a troubled couple how to deal with being covered in pubes.  In other words, a normal episode of the show. This episode could also be described as a great place to start if you have never head the podcast before; it essentially captures what we are all about (wildly time consuming humorous digressions bookended by talking about the drink).

Man down! Man down! That said, you should listen to this fine episode of this hot hot pod even though it is a "man down". Join Xander, Rebecca Quirke, and Wes Nott as they soldier on without regular cohost, irregular human Grush.   Somehow they make it through and talk lots of lovely nonsense and review Johnny Walker Black scotch (the drinking might have helped them survive Grush's temporary absence).   Ask yourself this: can you afford NOT to listen to this podcast? Actually, don't bother, here's the answer: no, you isn't.   iTunes robot search term list (fleshbag humans, avert your gaze!): alcohol, whisky, whiskey, booze, review, score, rating, funny, comedy, silly, stand up, improv, Chicago, jokes, spokes, blokes, Coke-zeroes, Cock-Heroes, Beer-O's

From the present mists of ancient Ireland comes a mystical moonshine called "poutin" (pronounced "putcheen").  Spoiler alert: like most moonshines, it ain't great. Hear Xander, Grush, Wes, and guest Kindred Cook suffer through the Glendalough poutin whilst, in their inimitable fashion, talking wildly inappropriate nonsense and bollocks (yes, both nonsense AND bollocks...they are clearly different). This episode is also a fine place to start if you are new to the world of Alcoholics Eponymous as it represents well both all that can be enjoyed in the podcast and all that can be reviled and put-offing.

Join Xander, Grush, Wes, and Travis as they memorialize the late great Johan Engels (world famous theater and opera production designer) by reviewing the wine he gave the show (Goats Do Roam) and by doing what they always do: talk total nonsense.   We had hoped to have Johan himself on to review this wine but sadly that chance has passed so instead we have fun in his memory.  Rather than a dour show, though, we do our standard aggressively silly bollocks talk that Johan once called "wonderfully naughty".   So, one last time, Rest in Peace, Johan.     iTunes robot search term words (avert your human eyes!): Chicago, booze, alcohol, wine, review, score, rating, red wine, cotes du rhone, silly, funny, comedy, improv, sketch, stand up, peanut brittle, how brittle are those peanuts?, not very brittle, it is a bit of a misnomer

Each week, Xander O'Connor and two other Chicago comedians will consume and ostensibly review a new alcoholic beverage whilst engaging in a rambling chat about anything (of which the majority will be nonsense). Hilarity ensues?
