Ever have an absolutely stupendous idea that keeps you up all hours of the night burning brain cells, making you sweat, and ultimately separating you from money that surely would have had better uses like dinner at Nobu, a weekend in St. Tropez, a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder (less than 100 made), a new roof before the winter rains hit, a Topps Roberto Clemente rookie card, a tank of premium(!) gasoline, a birthday card for Mom, or a pet miniature giraffe, only to see said absolutely stupendous idea washed away by poor planning, a maxed out credit card, or finger-wagging know-it-all’s who are flummoxed by the hefty decision of the soup or the salad? It’s a daily occurrence here at Boozedancing. But we were fortunate enough to find someone who after spending countless hours of the night burning brain cells and ultimately money hit on something near and dear to her (and our) heart. Whisky!

Annabel Thomas — founder and CEO of Nc’nean Distillery in the farflungness of the Western Highlands of Scotland — is our guest on a very special episode of What We Watch When We Drink. We chatted all things award winning Nc’nean Single Malt from how to pronounce it (you have to listen to the episode, no spoilers!) to the dream becoming reality to how to get to the distillery at its quaint spot on the map without falling into the Sound of Mull to be eaten by sea monsters with incomprehensible Scottish accents or just being lost forever like on some mad reality show that throws you into nowhere and says, “Here’s a pack of matches, $17 in unmarked local currency, and three Kit-Kat bars. Go. We’ll see you in six weeks. Don’t forget to cry and look forlorn often, remember not to talk to the crew unless you’re willing to LOSE, and don’t look at the camera attached to the new Land Rover with it’s standard very nice heater and comfy reclining seats.”

Speaking of which, our Watch for the episode is Clarkson’s Farm, a reality show in its own right where Mr. TV himself, Jeremy Clarkson, learns the in’s and out’s of farming in The Cotswolds in England. It’s the classic story of a fish out of water on land which has to be plowed, seeded, watered, and harvested by a fish who can only drive sports cars and probably should be watching football on the telly and stay out of the sun.

Many thanks to Annabel for coming on and walking us through a lovely tasting of some very special Nc’nean whiskies. Special thanks also to Chris Maybin from Nc’nean who helped to get us together over three time zones and two continents. And once again, thank you to Sam Filmus and his team at ImpEx Beverages for providing us with the lovely Nc’nean whiskies to drink with Annabel!

We suggest downloading this episode wherever you get your podcasts and listen in the comfort of your forklift or John Deere combine harvester. Please do not operate heavy machinery while listening or sipping whisky.

Did you catch the fever? The World Cup fever! It’s viral and has gone viral! And there’s no cure, Baby.

At the time of this writing, it’s Spain and Argentina for all the canicas at NewJerseyPhilaLosAngelesDallas Stadium. Thank you FIFA from the bottom our sponsorless hearts. It’s been weeks of Ronaldo, Messi, Pedri, Charo, Vitinha, Cher, Erhling, Madonna, Kane, Mbappé, Kreskin, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, headers, tackles, pitches, corners, hydration breaks, Rebecca Lowe, Zlatan, Lalas, and Viking rowers. And we’re tired and going into extra time. But we’ll go until we can’t go no more.

All of this inspired us at What We Watch When Drink to get into The Beautiful Game. So we dove (not flopped like all players do) into a soccer, uh, football classic flick, Bend It Like Beckham starring Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley. Oh, those ladies and their mates really know this funny old game.

We’d usually have a couple of pints with this wee one but since we’re playing for keeps and setting the tone, we went with a couple of Indri Single Malts and a Camikara Rum from the Piccadily Distillery Group of India. These are courtesy of our dear friends at ImpEx Beverages.

Join us, Lads and Lasses, with your beverage of choice, and listen to us dissect the 4-4-2 formation, tactics, whisky, rum, and offsides.

Annnnnddd, we’re back. After another one of our court mandated hiatuses (or is it hiatusi?), What We Watch When We Drink is back with so much News, Weather, Sports, and Oxford commas, we could fill a rapidly depleting water reservoir here in perpetually parched California. Could.

Superheroes come in all shapes, sizes, sexes, heights, and superpowers. And most of the time, people just can’t handle it with their preconceived notions of superheroism. Boy, don’t we know it here at the Boozedancing Entertainment Network. If we had a nickel for every time we were confused as “normies”, we’d be retired to chalets in Switzerland, infinity pools in the Seychelles, and super yachts anchored in Monaco. And that brings us to the main event for this episode of What We Watch When We Drink.

Wonder Man is a new MCU series on Disney+ starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, and (spoiler alert) it’s delightful. We binged it, loved it, and waxed poetically about it. And using our primary superpower of television watching, we also yapped about what else we’ve been super watching. And yes, as always, we were accompanied by The Brown Spirit aka whisky, the 4th member of our Just Us League.

Throw on your cape, blast that soul crushing leaf blower into bits, mind meld with that yippy Chiweenie next door to bring peace to the neighborhood, and punt that sketchy perpetually-parked-in-front-of-the-house Ford F-150 all the ways to Pacoima. Then download this episode to give those superpowers a break. You and they deserve it.

It’s the month of Girl Scouts cookies, boxes of stale Halloween candies chocolate, and bouquets of hay fever roses. That could only mean one thing for What We Watch When We Drink: it’s Rom-Com season! We’re celebrating this national holiday season in style with a classic romantic comedy from 1989, When Harry Met Sally… .

It’s got cute (Meg Ryan). It’s got nebbish (Billy Crystal). It’s got goofy friends (Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby). It’s got Hall of Fame directing (Rob Reiner). Who says No?

C’mon, you have to want to see these crazy mismatched kids spend two hours hating each other then finally magically amazingly impossibly see what we saw two hours ago… They should be together! (We hear they fall to their deaths into the Grand Canyon on their fortieth anniversary in the much rumored sequel, SHHHH!)

We wax romantically with stars in our eyes over this classic RomeoComedio with our usual whisky and cocktails…

“How can Meg Ryan’s eyes be that blue?”

And we’re back. We didn’t go far. Your buddies at What We Watch When We Drink are back from holiday travels and antics. No family members were “disappeared” in said travels or antics. As far as we know.

It’s 2026. A happy one we hope for all. Time to look forward, to the future. That’s our motto here at the Boozedancing Entertainment Network. Like Satchel Paige said, “Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you.” And with that, in our first episode of the new year, we chat about our favorite shows of 2025. We are so stuck in the past, it’s disgusting. We can’t remember what we had for lunch yesterday, and now we try to remember what we loved watching last year. Quite the predicament but it makes for good content! The Best of TV 2024, er, 2025, whatever it takes. But we will do some looking forward too with… adult beverages. We have two single malts and a gin courtesy of ImpEx Beverages to start the new year off right.

Download this one and have your “shows to watch” list ready. You’ll need it. Unless you have one of those AI assistants.

Cheers!

Holiday season is cocktail season. And as we all know, family gatherings are their own season that REQUIRE cocktails. With holiday prep for a houseful of guests –both wanted and unwanted – at the top of the list, our latest episode of What We Watch When We Drink is our perfect gift to you.

If you’re making cocktails, you probably need bitters. And we got ‘em. Gene Cooper, founder of McMann & Tate Cocktail Co. is our guest among a return visit, and we chat up his line of cocktail bitters, salts and dried fruit garnishes. We even made cocktails for the show with our limited skills using a few of Gene’s bitters so we could dig into the art of constructing a fine cocktail (and drink) while learning more about McMann & Tate.

And in the spirit of the season, we watched a “holiday” movie to talk about: The Holdovers starring one of our favorite actors, Paul Giamatti. There’s snow, a Christmas tree, presents and drama. All the necessary elements for a Christmas movie.

Make yourself a hot toddy, a cup of egg nog, or a spritz with crushed peppermint candy sprinkled on top, mmmm, then sit back and enjoy our latest before the doorbell rings and the invasion starts.

Happy Holidays!

And we’re back to spin a little yarn about mama and her sky blue ‘75 Ford pickup rolling down that dusty road out past dry as a bone old Watson Creek, which hasn’t seen water since those rains two summers back…now where was I? Oh, yeah, mama off to pick up some more feed and hay for them voracious chickens and Bluebell the loudest cow in the county then stop to get ice cream for them kids since they did their chores for a change and didn’t burn down the barn. Oh, them kids. Best part of the drive as usual is KRCJ playing Patsy, Hank, Tammy and Willie. They’ll make you forget about chores and chickens and pie. Oh, heavens! Mama left a pie in the oven! She’s gonna need a need a drink when she gets home if it’s still standing.

What We Watch When We Drink is back with friend of the pod, André Darlington. He stopped in to chat about his latest book, Booze & Vinyl Country. A fun journey of cocktails and country music covering sixty classic albums and over 100 cocktails crafted to go with. André knows both really well. And we made cocktails from the book for this episode. And no one fell into a well or died. That’s a bonus!

Grab a cocktail, a whisky, or a guitar and sit a spell with us. Y’all be glad that you did!

Episode 66: An Old Fashioned Lowdown. If they go high, we go low here on What We Watch When We Drink. Very low.

But we start at the top with a new whiskey from Milam & Greene. Provisions is a blend of their Texas pot-still bourbon with straight Kentucky bourbon, and then aged fully in Texas. They call the process “Texification”. We call it a great beginning to a podcast. We even make a cocktail with it to show off our mad bartending skills its versatility.

And we pair Provisions with the first two episodes of a new show on FX – The Lowdown, starring Ethan Hawke as “truthstorian” Lee Raybon digging into a corruption story in Tulsa. From the mind of Sterlin Harjo of Reservation Dogs fame, The Lowdown is one part pulpy crime drama, one part dark comedy, and two parts quirky characters shaken and poured over Raybon’s chaotic white knight journalism. It’s a cocktail we rather enjoyed.

Make your own Old Fashioned, maybe with some Milam & Greene if you have a bottle, and check out our latest episode on the BoozeDancing Entertainment Network.
