Old Fashioned Friendship

Send us Fan MailThis 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 showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailThe 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 showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailIn 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.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 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.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailWelcome 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.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailThis week on Old Fashioned Friendship, the boys crack open a long‑awaited bottle of Booker’s 24‑04 “Jimmy’s Batch” and immediately spiral into bourbon history, bad math, and even worse singing. Between the heat of a 62.9% pour and the chaos of a mid‑week recording session, they somehow manage to celebrate a huge win: landing a rare Bowman Brothers 10‑Year Single Barrel in the Virginia lottery. Another distillery trip is officially on the calendar, and the Bowman shrine grows stronger.But the bourbon isn’t the only thing leveling up. After a week of buying cameras, lapel mics, cases, and sending out a small army of distillery emails, the guys talk about the future of the show — YouTube plans, interviews, tours, and the dream of turning this passion project into something bigger. Mixed in are the usual detours: thrift‑store victories, grocery‑store rants, D&D tangents, and the kind of friendship chaos that makes this podcast feel like hanging out at the table with them.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailThis week, the guys kick things off by choosing their bottle on the fly and landing on Basil Hayden—the classic “gateway bourbon” that everyone tries at least once. From the bottle’s gimmicky wrap to its famously light proof, they break down what makes it approachable, what makes it divisive, and where it fits in a bourbon drinker’s journey.From there, the conversation spirals in true OFF fashion: broken mic clamps, duct‑tape solutions, new studio dreams, and the eternal struggle of recording gear that refuses to cooperate. Life updates roll in—work schedules, old songs hitting just right, and the joy of slowing down with age through things like D&D nights and low‑key hangouts.The guys also dig into the future of the podcast: merch finally moving forward, the website going live, and the long‑awaited push into Patreon. That sparks a bigger reflection on their creative roots, old camcorder chaos, and the realization that not everyone will love them—and that’s perfectly fine.Then comes the big brainstorm: distillery trips, bourbon trails, Tennessee vs. Virginia, hidden gems, Airbnbs you “party at, not sleep at,” and the dream of buying a whole barrel one day. It’s equal parts planning, storytelling, and laughing at past disasters.By the end, it’s classic Old Fashioned Friendship—two friends talking bourbon, life, and all the ridiculousness in between. Pour a glass, kick back, and join the conversation.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailEpisode 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.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailThis 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 kingIt’s everything you expect from Old Fashioned Friendship — bourbon, banter, and beautifully unhinged storytelling from start to finish.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailThis 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.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailThis 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.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailEpisode 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.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailEpisode 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.Support the showInstagramFacebookVisit our Merch [email protected]

Send us Fan MailIn 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.
