  • EP26 - Champagne & Sci-Fi Books (Special Guest Blake King)
    For his third time around, Blake King joins us on the show once again! We delve deep into Sci-Fi books with Blake in this episode and how they have had such a profound impact on the Sci-Fi writing world; being 2001 Space Odyssey, Dune & Watchmen. These three books vary in tales told and provide a wonderful insight into how a writer can create a whole new world and it still has an impact on those reading them either for the first time or for the 50th time years later. Kieran and Blake both share how these books have impacted their lives all whilst they realise Jason hasn't read any of these....
    We also celebrate an engagement in this episode, gifts are shared and this time the guest brings a hat. There is many laughs as we are on a champagne episode and Kieran & Jason have a Aussie insult fight...involving a muppet...or are they the muppets?

  • EP24 - Monin Syrup mixers

    Its all about that Syrup, about that Syrup! Kieran went over and above this time and we had 6 drinks! Mind you, they were mixers, but great mixers either way. We cracked out the Monin Syrup mixers for this episode and paired them with some of our favourite hard liquors to reveal some amazing tastes. Monin is a French based company who focus on making Syrups, Tea Syrups, Fruit mixers and Gourmet Sauces just to name a few. They also have over 8 million drinks served daily worldwide with their Syrups, crazy huh?!

    In this episode we try 6 of the Monin Syrup mixers, Jason brings a massive map he found in the house and yet another Hat; which is somewhat out of date; Jason also shares how is wife is allergic to Pineapple and you also keep hearing an annoying plane in the back ground that kept flying over whilst we recorded, but can you tell us how many times it flew by?
