Welcome to Frizz and Bob's working week as we dive head-first into a bottle of Talisker 10 and Elvis Costello's debut album My Aim is True. We check a new artist off of Frizz's list of musical blind spots, find out that Elvis Costello is a secret lemonade drinker, dissect his famously pointed and descriptive lyrics, and reveal the real magic behind one of Costello's best albums.
Nini and Lisa are preparing to row across the Atlantic Ocean in a 27' rowboat in the 2022 Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. We talk about their mission, motivation, the boat, food, water, getting past fear, their training, the team, wildlife risks, and much more.
Beast Masters Club is back with another edition of "Beastly Treats" where we invite one lucky club member for the whiskey tasting of a lifetime. This time our guest is stand-up comedian David Kinney @davidkinney. Jake The Whiskey Warrior Cahill and Mrs. SmokyBeast join the party to sample amazing whiskeys while we broach subjects from stand up comedy to Shrek to full-body Spanx. The whiskey at hand is "Big Brother" - a tasting of three of our favorite malts next to super-aged versions of their "big brothers".

Lagavulin Distiller's Edition vs. Lagavulin Feis Ile 2015 24-Year Cask Strength

What does it take to jump in a small boat and row across the Atlantic Ocean? For our guest today, it was a lifetime of preparation, but it was something he attacked without much hesitation.
A bit of an adventure seeker, Hugo Thompson has spent most of his recent life traveling the world, looking for his next big challenge. Ironically, he wasn't an adventurous kid. Its was a void he felt in his life during young adulthood that made him jumpstart a life of exploration.
In our conversation, Hugo and I talk about his diagnosis with type 1 diabetes just 6 months before he agreed to take on the Talisker Atlantic Challenge; which is a 3,000 mile trek across the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to Antigua. The journey, which took Hugo and his three boat mates, 2.5 years to prepare for and just over 55 days to complete, tested their resolve as they encountered storms and rough waters which eliminated a number of their fellow competitors.
This is a conversation of determination, exploring the limits if our mental and physical capabilities, and a call to all of us to live life to it’s fullest every day despite the rough waters we may encounter along our journey.
