Justin is back on the show and we try to put into words the experiences we shared at the world famous Kit Kat Berlin, a full-throttle hedonistic debacle! But first we find ourselves at odds as we discuss the controversial new video offering from the largest German musical export in the past 20 years, Rammstein. Their video for the new song "Deutchland" may be for some the German equivalent of Childish Gambino's "This is America" but does it go too far into 'shock value' to have artistic merit? 

On this episode, we are drinking Alpen Schanps  - "SteinBeisser" - This Austrian offering packs a punch but leaves us with a warm belly and the taste of apricot on our tongue!

On this episode, we are drinking Wilthener Goldkrone - Goldkrone is a brandy spirit manufactured by Wlthener. It would seem the grain distillery was founded in the 1700's but in its current form dates back to 1842...

On a jaunt thru Leipzig for pleasure instead of business, musician Remmington Pearce comes by the studio and we discuss hiking trips, local food that can't be eaten, the state of starting out in the music biz and much much more.

On this episode, we are drinking Aromatique's "Wald Kobold"

When an epidemic broke out in the area around Neudietendorf in 1828, the local pharmacist Daniel Thraen began making natural products that had been known for their healing effect on the stomach and intestines from ancient times. Surviving two World Wars and DDR State participation starting in 1958, re-privatization and the subsequent founding of the liquor factory Aromatique GmbH on August 15, 1991, the company began a new era in its more than 100-year history. Today they are again an independent family business (18 employees). The "Wald Kobold" is a half bitter likor with 25% alcohol and a mix of spices, also claiming a fruity undertone. 

Remmington Pearce - Bassist and Guitarist of the punk rock ilk, having performed with many bands including Barb Wire Dolls and Sham 69 joins us on the podcast.

We make a... VERY poor attempt at recording back to back episodes of the cast which leads to a drunken pledge to boycott the largest online retailer in the world. 

On this episode, we are drinking Johnny Walker Black Label - The iconic blend of over 30 malt and grain whiskeys from across Scotland makes Johnnie Walker Black Label one of the world's best-selling blended Scotch whiskeys. This whiskey was very popular with the royal family, which John Walker & Sons was granted as a court supplier, which still exists today. Johnnie Walker Black Label is referred to as the ""Everest of premium whiskeys"" and has received numerous awards worldwide. Packed with dark fruits, sweet vanilla and the characteristic smoky note, this blend of over 12 years matured whiskeys unleashes a taste explosion on your tongue. You can taste the full-bodied, complex character that makes this rounded, flavorful whiskey. Serve it on ice or with a dash of Ginger Ale as a long drink.

Matthew has a run in with Amazon Customer Service - Matthew is insistent... very insistent that a bait and switch maneuver pulled on Amazon amounts to fraud and leads to a boycotting of the online service.

Matthew and Jake drink too much delicious, over proof rum while discussing Matthew's trip to the ausländerbehörde. The magical 20 sided die leads to the discussion of Norm Macdonald's famous theory from his time on Weekend Update.

On this episode, we are drinking Pott Rum - The (strong) pot with 54% vol is fire and flame for best taste: It refines the Rumtopf, refines pastries and ignites the legendary Feuerzangenbowle. Sophisticated desserts, flambé fruits and unforgettable rum creations become a real experience. Incidentally, this high-quality overseas rum owes its golden color, rich fragrance and exquisite aroma to the premium sugar cane, which is processed with particular care.
