This week, he reaches into the box and pulls Sample #18.

Before taking a single sip, the Doc puts on an absolute masterclass using just the nose—calling his shot early and setting the stakes high.

Does his nose live up to the legendary nickname, or did the sample pull a fast one on him?

Expect heaps of laughs, great banter, and classic chaos whenever these three get together.

Grab a glass, hit play, and see if the Doc nailed it!
