    The Buddies are joined by friend and recovering “party ninja” Justin Woodhouse, who serves up the most deliciously geeky cocktail ever made by man. Or woman.

  • Red Nose, Redbreast

    The Buddies get down with their Irish selves and tackle the Holiest of Grails, 120 proof cask-strength Redbreast Irish Whiskey. The booze be fancy, but can S’Mike keep up with Mike’s tastebuds?

  • Meals Ready To Eat Or Something

    The Buddies knock back painfully spicy Jinn + Ja rum cocktails while committing the most cardinal of geek sins, reviewing a movie neither of them has seen. But since the drinks burn so good and the movie being reviewed second-hand is Batman vs. Superman, everyone agrees that it’s cool. Except maybe Ben Affleck. The super-powers…

  • So Exactly How Evil Is Mike Curasi, Anyway?

  • Pissed Connections

    The Buddies are at it again, and this time no corner of Craigslist is safe! On a suggestion from S’mike’s wife, BIS tackles the weirdest, creepiest and most desperate Missed Connections they can be handed (because they’re too lazy to find some themselves), and then mock the hell out of ’em. Didn’t see that coming,…

  • BIS Episode XXIX: The Spoiler Awakens

    And thus, the spoilers begin. The curmudgeonly Buddies spare Star Wars Episode VII no quarter, and many a spoiler and plot weakness are discussed. And mocked. There’s some praise, too. Did we mention spoilers? Also, a REALLY good drink is created! More stories from the TV pilot filming! And seriously, S-P-O-I-L-E-R-S. You’ve been warrrrrrned.  …
