We start with an extremely important topic: which places have elite bathrooms and which ones you should never trust. From there, things spiral (naturally).

We debate women’s-only gyms, whether men’s-only gyms would cause chaos, and why it feels like bathroom rules are completely different depending on who walks into which line. Why is it funny when a woman runs into the men’s restroom at a concert… but a crisis if it’s the other way around?

Is it really a men vs. women issue or is it just an American culture thing?

As usual, we solve absolutely nothing… but we definitely pour a drink and argue about it.

Juan is back.

After surviving the mysterious warehouse fire from last episode, he rejoins the crew just in time for a Texas whiskey… and an even bigger debate.

In Episode 2 of Whiskey & Fire, we kick things off arguing the only question that really matters: is it “pecan” or “pecan”?With Texas on the brain and whiskey in our glasses, the conversation goes exactly where you’d expect — slightly off the rails.

We’re back. After a little break (okay, a few months), Whiskey & Fire officially kicks off Season Two and naturally, we start it the most confusing way possible.

If you’ve ever watched Chicago Fire, you know how every season ends: a massive warehouse explosion, dramatic music, and a cliffhanger about who survived. Then the next season starts and everyone’s just… eating dinner like nothing happened.

That’s basically this episode.

Juan is missing.
Did he survive the warehouse fire?
Did he walk it off?
Was it ever addressed?
You’ll have to wait for the next episode… probably.

Joe and Krista recap life lately, talk about upcoming adventures (Elimination Chamber, Nashville with Mother Sharon and Tiny Wheels), check in on creative projects like Joe’s vlog comeback and Krista’s coloring book, and ease back into the Whiskey & Fire rhythm.

Our studio has never been this full and we’re not just talking people. For our Día de los Muertos Special, we welcome back returning legends Mother Sharon (Patron Saint of Puppies) and Medium Wheels… but this time, a new presence joins us: Loren Mystic Chick, a psychic medium who sees beyond the veil.

To honor the night, we let Loren choose this week’s bottle, no hints, no direction. Just: “Grab the one that calls to you.” And what she brings… connects to this episode way more than any of us expected.

📌 A phrase Joe keeps repeating

📌 A bottle with a name and message that matches

📌 A mysterious object found hidden inside the walls of our house

📌 And Loren had ZERO knowledge of any of it beforehand

Coincidence?

Energy?

The spirits having fun with us?

We’ll let you decide.

We dive into ghosts vs spirits, signs from the other side, why Katie wears black, and why Joe insists she should wear hot pink with the number 69 to attract better vibes (don’t ask).

It’s deep. It’s hilarious. It’s unsettling.

And it might just change how you look at signs from the universe.

🥃 Pour a glass. Light a candle.

The spirits showed up for this one and so should you.

Welcome to our Halloween Special  where the nostalgia hits hard and the spooky questions hit harder. We talk childhood Halloweens, the thrill of trick-or-treating, and how things have changed since we were running around in plastic masks that smelled like burnt crayons.

Then we get weird.

Serial killers. Paranormal encounters. And the biggest mystery of all:

Why are ghosts always from the 1800s?

Where are the ghosts who love Nirvana?

Where are the Blockbuster ghosts?

Show me a spirit in JNCO jeans.

If you’re ready for laughs, chills, and some aggressively unserious ghost theory… this one’s for you.

🥃 Pour a potion. Hit play. And happy spooky season.

We shook things up for Episode 15 and brought in not one but TWO special guests.

First, a holy return: Mother Sharon, Patron Saint of Puppies, is back blessing the pod once again. And joining her for the first time… Katie formerly known as Tiny Wheels, now officially promoted to Medium Wheels.

We explain the nickname upgrade, dive into who Katie really is, and let the chaos unfold as the squad gets bigger and the mics get louder.

This one goes off the rails in the most Whiskey & Fire way possible. We kick things off talking wrestling … then somehow switch to Spanish and language barriers… and eventually end up debating (don’t ask how) the economics of feet pics.

This week, we’re planning our upcoming Michigan adventure — and the debate gets heated: Krista wants hotels, Joe wants to camp in the Tesla. Somewhere between glamping and grid life, we find ourselves talking about how camping has evolved, why younger generations are chasing minimalism, and whether the “American Dream” even makes sense anymore.

Juan and Joe also go head-to-head on the idea that making money has never been easier, Joe says AI can help anyone build something from nothing, while Juan calls BS.

It’s part travel planning, part life philosophy, and part “what if we just sold everything and hit the road?” energy.

🥃 Plug in, pour up, and join us for this one because Camp Mode is officially ON.

This week, we’re diving into love, marriage, and all the weird, complicated stuff that comes with it including how the government somehow ended up in the middle of it all.

We talk about weddings, commitment, and why “forever” looks different for everyone. It’s part deep talk, part roast, part therapy session all fueled by good whiskey and questionable logic.

🥃 Pour one up and join us as we try to figure out why saying “I do” also comes with paperwork, taxes, and joint Spotify playlists.

This one hits different. Nearly three hours of unfiltered conversation, laughter through pain, and reflection on the moments that shape us.

We get real about loss, aging, marriage, family, and grief from Joe opening up about his grandfather’s passing to Juan sharing the story of his mother’s death. We dive into what it means to grow up, to let go, and to hold on.

It’s not all heavy there’s heart in every moment, humor in the pain, and the kind of vulnerability that reminds you you're not alone.

If you’ve ever lost someone… if you’ve ever wondered about what matters most… this episode is for you.

🥃 Come sit with us. Pour a glass. And feel everything.
