   Ep.124 Fantasy Football, Halloween Candy & Other Self-Inflicted Wounds

   Halloween is almost here, the kids are growing up, the fantasy football teams are falling apart, and apparently we're one bad bourbon away from drinking straight gasoline. Welcome back to Whiskey n Whine, where two dads attempt to discuss whiskey and somehow spend an hour yelling at football players who have absolutely no idea who we are. This week, Alex and Big Mike kick things off with an experimental Infinity Barrel blend that tastes suspiciously like premium unleaded. After nearly melting their faces off, they switch gears to Old Charter Oak from Buffalo Trace. Is this oak-aged bourbon worth the $80 price tag, or are the boys just grateful to have something that doesn't burn a hole through their esophagus? Then things get really stupid. Fantasy football sends the guys into a full-blown emotional spiral, complete with desperate prayers for Sam Darnold, questionable player evaluations, and a reminder that betting on Chinese ping-pong based solely on the players' names is probably not a sustainable financial strategy. They also cover Halloween candy that mysteriously disappears before trick-or-treating, the joys of being empty-nest dads, college football's ever-expanding playoffs, the surprising start to the Trail Blazers season, and why nobody needs another meaningless bowl game. Plus, the guys start planning future episodes involving nose waxing, chili cook-off farts, and the possible return of Don and John. Naturally, the planning meeting consists mostly of making jokes and accomplishing absolutely nothing. In this episode: Old Charter Oak bourbon review and rating The Infinity Barrel: when your homemade blend becomes a fire hazard Fantasy football misery, bad bets, and questionable life choices Halloween candy theft and the changing realities of dad life College football playoff debates and NFL overtime frustrations The Trail Blazers are fun again. Yes, really. Nose waxing, chili farts, and other terrible ideas we're considering Pour yourself something decent, hide the Halloween candy from yourself, and join us for another round of Whiskey n Whine. Drink responsibly. Manage your fantasy team irresponsibly.

   Ep.123 Too Old to Tailgate, Too Old to Trust a Fart

   Alex and Big Mike are back with another episode of Whiskey n Whine, and this week, we're barely holding it together. Literally. After a marathon Oregon Ducks tailgate, a late-night football game, and enough traffic bitching to qualify for AARP, the boys settle in to drink Pilot House Distilling's Barrel & Tide American Single Malt Whiskey. But between Mike's fantasy football roster full of guys nobody's ever heard of, Alex's ongoing war with a rogue chipmunk living on his 50-foot-high deck, and a digestive system that apparently filed for early retirement, things go spectacularly off the rails. At one point, Alex has to hit pause because nature calls, and Mike is left laughing while his cohost negotiates a hostage situation with his own asshole. Naturally, the conversation turns to potential sponsors. Depends? BlueChew? Why not both? We may shit ourselves, but at least we can still get hard as a rock. Plus, the guys debate the ideal college football kickoff time for aging dads, complain about $880 hotel rooms in Eugene, question whether fantasy football is actually a game of skill, and discover that sometimes the secret to winning is simply not giving a shit.

   Ep.122 Batteries, Bottle Gate & Bourbon We Can't Fucking Buy

   Football is back, our teams are absolute dog shit, and somehow we're still drinking like we're celebrating a championship. Alex and Big Mike settle in for an NFL Sunday full of overtime drama, fantasy football heartbreak, and the Washington Commanders discovering that even a tie can feel like a loss. Meanwhile, Mike relives the special kind of Cleveland Browns trauma that involves flying beer bottles, rogue batteries, and the NFL commissioner telling everyone to get their asses back on the field. We also investigate the legendary 2001 Cleveland Bottle Gate incident, debate whether modern college students could dismantle a hydraulic goalpost, and question the engineering genius behind lowering a giant metal structure directly into the hands of thousands of drunk college kids. Mike recaps an Oregon Ducks road trip that had perfect weather, legendary tailgating, free food for approximately 47 starving college students, and one minor inconvenience: the Ducks forgot how to play football. We also discuss Beaver optimism, late-night kickoffs, embarrassing your kids at Blazers games, and the potential introduction of a stadium hot dog launcher. Because nothing says family entertainment like catching a flying glizzy with your bare hands. This week's whiskey is Weller Antique 107, a delicious $60 bottle that Oregon's liquor overlords apparently believe is a mythical creature. We both give it a Gold, because the bourbon is fantastic and our grading system apparently includes a penalty for living in the wrong state. Plus, we pay tribute to legendary Bears coach Mike Ditka, revisit some classic SNL greatness, and discover that the only thing more painful than watching your team lose is watching your fantasy football quarterback score points against your actual team. Pour something strong, prepare to be disappointed by your favorite football team, and remember: if your team can't win, at least your bourbon doesn't have to suck. Cheers, you degenerates!
