Episode 49: Return to the Sulfite Mines (feat. Alexis Schwartz) Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

The reign of dankosity ends as the boys turn their coats, doff their caps (hello m'lady) and rail fat lines of sulfites. To further overextract the fun, they are joined by natural wine partisan, writer and party planner Alexis Schwartz of Thirsty, Thirsty. This is a really reasonable smart person episode, full of Proustian memories and duck muttering about Pre-Islamic monotheists in the Arabian peninsula. Kevin can't stop talking about his dumb natural wine trip I hope none of his cool new friends here this and judge him. Everyone chokes down a difficult semi-dry and avoids doing total 180s on the concept of NYS wine, so, resounding victory. Also, Duck requests you not @ him re: bronze age vs iron age, he was discussing with non-specialists and can't be as precise as he would like. Follow Alexis @alexistschwartz or @thirstythirsty to witness the future of natural wine. Also, uh, jesus guys, keep buying shirts and stuff! LIST///

Episode 48: Z-Infidelz Jan 28, 2019

Show notes

Our boys desires are… unconventional. Enter our hothouse and get ready to do some zinning here on birdsarentrealdotcomslashpodcast. Zeriously, this is probably the first time the boys had any tannins this season, and whooooo boy do they love it. Get ready to put your puffy vests on and chomp a big ol’ cigar. Don’t worry though, Kevin unironically describes both as “SoyBoy” wines, so looks like there might be some jokes too, most of which are nice and chill unless you REALLY love Jeff Buckley, The British, or again, books. Sorry, I think we just fucking hate books. Please donate to our patreon to claim your rewards AND to help the boys finally die.

Episode 47: Xarel-lo Kitty Jan 21, 2019

Show notes

Guess which boys forgot to dine before they podded? We bet no one can tell! Recorded in the first week of our lord and savior Big Changus, the boys really get into a “Spanish set of mind” and accidentally “Defend facism” and “spend 45 minutes talking about Moby Dick.” Also, Xarel-lo, which, as everyone knows, is the best white from Catalonia (sorry Salvador Dali #tryharder2019).

Episode 46: Doing it for the ‘Gram (Ft. Emily Schultz) Jan 14, 2019

Show notes

The boys are joined by Bon Appetit’s Emily Schultz and looking for sponsors in all the wrong places, as the trio gets down and dirty with the phenomenon of instagram wine. Kevin and Duck are in way over their heads on this, so luckily Emily actually understands analytics and being a millennial. Honestly, the episode is really foot-pic centric, which none of us expected going into it, but it’s wonderful to learn about ourselves in a safe and judgement free zone. Please follow and DM our guest @empschultz, buy her magazine, and continue to buy crazy natural wines that look fun af on the ‘net////

Episode 45: Sylvaner Suck Your Blood Jan 07, 2019

Show notes

The boys drink Sylvaner and become deranged as a way to celebrate #soberJanuary. They say a bunch of stuff they probably don’t mean so you can hold them responsible for their actions. Don’t follow their advice tbh. Welcome to season 3. Kevin has DTs and new characters, Duck has depression and freakum jeans. Both have terrible opinions and an hour to kill and apparently, literally zero shame. Let’s make 2019 the 420 of years baby. New Patreon exclusives coming for all 5$ a month (and over) memberships. Please rate and review and tell friends — lets make it so that the boys have to explain their #content to a grownup (not a judge or cop tho) this year, ok?///

Episode 44: Champagne Supernova in these guys Dec 31, 2018

Show notes

The boys end season 2 of their critically acclaimed podcast drinking champagne and trying to sound smart. Notable as an episode because it’s possibly almost educational, you’re welcome. The boys discuss the British, French history and the power of chalk. Since we cut out all insane and or litigious stuff, this episode might be suitable for public consumption, so play it on full volume at your office. Yes, this is one of the famous earnest episodes, yes there’s a lot of Yuma chat, and Yes the boys are now officially champagne socialists and will be the first agains the wall when the revolution comes. Until then though, it’s going to be cool as heck. Happy new year vixens, we love you. Please rate and review, tell a friend, and Patreon.com/disgorgeous. We’re updating our reward tiers soon and theres going to be some awesome content you won’t want to miss. ///

Episode 43: NAFTA boys (ft. Alex from Subject to Change Wine Co.) Dec 24, 2018

Show notes

The boys are joined by Alex from Subject to Change Wine Co. to discuss NAFTA, which everyone really fully understands. Duck is clearly having a day and is basically foaming at the mouth the whole episode — get ready for some rambling discussions about the cops, dads, and towards the end, the total number of free dog parts per liter of wine. Kevin wants to fuck the Grinch, and we maybe don’t live in that truth as much as we should. As the Crow flies, this is a banger of epic proportions, and boy you all should drink wine made in Canada, Mexico or the United States. Big thanks to Alex for being a good sport during 5 minutes of what was, probably, the stupidest thing the boys have ever riffed on on this stupid podcast. ****ps, official apologies from Duck: Jose pastor is the importer for Bichi. This is the only mistake we’ve made so far ***** ///

Episode 42: Scrape your Knee, it’s only extended Skin Contact (ft. Sam Lindeman) Dec 17, 2018

Show notes

The boys are back with another orange wine episode, and this time it’s cannon. They’re joined by eldritch memelord Sam Lindeman, aka ASAP Mousey AKA GlouGloueyedMender AKA WokeWineMemes in an episode sure to infuriate our remaining 3 non-millennial fans. Get ready for a discussion on Joanna Newsome, Orange Wine, and proustian memories that is literally 10000000 times more earnest than Duck was expecting. The trio also all accidentally bags on their respective companies’ names, so RIP their burgeoning careers. Stay until the end when an extremely bizarre Fleetwood Mac tangent makes everyone go full tankie.

Episode 41: We Chug from a Land Down Under (Ft. Leah Rinaldi) Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

The boys are joined by disgorgeous super fan and Australian wine expert, Leah Rinaldi in a doomed attempt to change Duck's broken brain. Discussions get really thirsty, to be honest -- get ready to hear a lot about Sexy Santa and winemaker Jordy Kay's cheekbones. Also, and this is real, can someone start uploading episodes on Pornhub? We'd do it ourselves but we don't know what sort of tags we merit. In between thirst, expect a spirited discussion on supply chains, Australian wine legislation and an out of left field defense of people who don't want to spend $30 on wine from Duck. Don't share this episode with any billionaires, because BOY does the whole squad drunkenly endorse the fuck out of guillotines. We probably cut all the legally actionable parts out, but if you're the FBI reading this please rate and subscribe 5 stars and go to Patreon.com/disgorgeous to help pay for our legal fees.

Episode 40: Breakfast of champions (this is a reference to Kurt Vonnegut and NOT wheaties cereal because we like books) Ft Emily Elise Miller Dec 03, 2018

Show notes

The boys interview Emily Elyse Miller, the most important person in the breakfast world, creator of Breakfast club and Duck’s favorite walking tour he’s ever done. Expect definitive answers to the bagel vs. bialy controversy, what kind of jams everyone enjoys, and what ancient Egyptians had in the morning. Don’t worry, somewhere in here is a passionate discussion about that one wine article that made everyone mad, what wine lists should look like, food sommeliers and how to do eggs sunny side up. Please, please, please check out https://www.heybreakfastclub.com/ and pre-order Emily’s upcoming book: “Breakfast: The Cookbook”( https://www.amazon.com/Breakfast-Cookbook-Emily-Elyse-Miller/dp/0714878049).
