Whisk(e)y and No Chill

Well this happened...In this non-canonical bonus episode relive 24 hours in an economy flight as Brad livestreams his flights to New Zealand via 4,327 text messages (approximately) to Cathy. Which all arrived at the same time thanks the joys of airplane mode. Yes, this is a podcast of Brad reading his WhatsApp messages out loud. Whisk(e)y's of the week are both Kiwi made, with one surprise taster and one Pōkeno Origin whisky (yes, they spell it WHISKY Cathy!). Want to help our two heroes out? You can buy us a whisk(e)y, support our poor choices, o...

We all knew it had to happen. Since day one this conflict has been written in the stars. It is finally upon us. The very first item on THE LIST is finally addressed. That's right dear listeners, it's tall people vs short people problems. Cathy rules at trench warfare, brad rules at driving. No one wins at supermarkets. And don't even ask about planes. Meanwhile Penelope brings the chaotic energy despite not even speaking. Like, A LOT. Attempts to blind this episode fail horribly. This week we're starting the 'Scotch Off', the top 8 scotches will play off until only...

This week, dear listeners, we're talking about Muff. A lot of Muff. An honestly unreasonable amount of Muff. We came here to drink whiskey, and somehow ended up discussing Muff so extensively that we're genuinely concerned about what the content moderation algorithms are going to make of us. But don't worry, it's all perfectly innocent. Mostly. But if the good people from the Muff Liquor Company want to release a slightly smoky Muff Whiskey? Then we're going to enjoy it. Oh, and there's also a bottle of Benriech Smoky 12 representing Scotland in there.

Between m...

This week, dear listeners, we're embracing the soothing,relaxing vibes of lo-fi podcasting. Mostly because our heroes are heavily hungover, running on approximately three brain cells between them and making noises every time they move. So naturally, they decided to drink strong spirits and record apodcast.

This week we're discussing the age-old problem of Past You being an absolute arse to Present You, and why Night Cathy and Morning Cathy should probably never be allowed in the same room. Our whisk(e)ys this week are Green Spot Irish whiskey vs Auchentoshan Three Wood Scotch w...

This week it's cycling, and Cathy doesn't like most cyclists. Brad - he's a cyclist. Special attention is given to people who ride fixies. IYKYK.

Our whisk(e)y this week is Speyburn 10 year old whisky vs Teeling single grain whiskey. Besides bikes Brad has a bad boo boo, Cathy goes 'iiieeeelllll', Brad tastes of nationalism, Cathy goes 'SQUEEEEEEEE', Brad does a front flip for style, Cathy goes 'eeee eeee eeee eeee eeee eeee', Brad gets shot by a bumble bee, Cathy goes 'do do dooo do do dooo', and Brad shaves his leg...

This one dear listeners is just Crazy. All those little things in life that add up? We've termed them 'Crazy Pills', and nothing is safe this week. Honestly, you'll have to listen in to understand this one. Cathy falls in the loo, Brad's bottom is precious, Brad is Cathy (?), and Penelope stabs Brad with Cathy (???). Yep, that actually happened. Honestly she left a scar.This weeks whisk(e)y is Harp of Darkness in the Irish corner vs Black Cannon representing Scotland. Both via Master of Malt , both very different from our usual fare, and so both perfect for o...

You ever in the kitchen looking at all the different things in the cutlery drawer wondering what they do? Well dear listener, our heroes are here to help! Or at least loudly proclaim that YOU ARE WRONG in your life choices. This week it’s Dailuaine 16-year-old Scotch vs Whistler double oaked by Boann Distillery Ireland, and Cathy can pronounce ‘Dailuaine’ perfectly every single time. Yep, not a dub of a clean take that we recorded the next day or anything… Between whisk(e)y drinking Cathy ends diplomatic relations between the UK and France with a poorly placed pastry...

This week it’s Brad’s internet specifically. You wouldn’t think we could make 30 minutes of Brad complaining about his internet installation into content, but here we are? This week Cathy has the giggles, Penelope has the sneezes, Brad goes all whippy, Cathy yells at rich people, Penelope is betray-toe-ed, and Brad is much, much too English. Also please don’t tell Brads landlord about the new hole in his front wall… This week it’s Glendalough’s double barrelled whisky up against Tomatin's highland single malt, and this week our two heros have opinions. Listen in to find out. Want...

This week it’s dumb movie troupes! And our heroes are sick of them. Well Cathy is, and Brad is about to hear about it. "It's not funny Brad!" is a line that's totally for The Knower of All Things. You know what you did...

In this episode Brad shoots a hippie, Cathy goes limp, Brad steals a phone, Cathy yells at the TV, and Brad & Cathy call each other fat. Like a lot.

HUGE THANKS to our friends at The Whiskey Exchange who threw one of the bottles at...

That's right, we're back! Muhahahahaha.

After the shocking conclusion to season 1 (spoilers - Cathy claims she prefers Irish whiskey, Braddisagrees because "math" or something), our two intrepid hero's are back and discussing Whisk(e)y.

Brad is (literally) British, Cathy makes fun of McCallan, Brad makes the best cup of tea of all time, Cathy questions American independence, Cathy teaches us how to know if you have syphilis, Brad defenestrates, and as always whisk(e)y is drunk. This week is Benriach 12 year port cask ( ⁨@benriach⁩  ) vs Clonakilty port cask...

It's THE GRAND FINAL. The best Scotch whisky in the history of the world* (The Glenlivet Founders Reserve) vs the best Irish whiskey in the history of the world** (The Dingle!). Who will emerge victorious? Who will fall short at this last hurdle? Most importantly, will Penelope made a reappearance???* of the 8 scotches that we included in this season** again, of the 8 Irish whiskeys that we included.Brad wears a legwarmer, Cathy eats in the dark, brad gets a valet, Cathy can't say fixie bike, the favourite moments of the season are revisited, and this week our hero's violently...

OK, full disclosure... We had some audio issues on this one but wanted to upload anyway. Turns out three microphones is lots harder than our normal two. Why three you ask??IT'S THE PENELOPE EPISODE!!! That's right dear listener, you've heard our hero's talk about her, she's popped up in the background once or twice, but this one is dedicated to our favourite social media manager in this world. The one, the only, The Penelope.Boxer briefs are confused, dating habits are critiqued, social etiquette is updated, cheese is eaten for breakfast in the most NSFW way possible, King...

Teamwork. Effort. Sportsball. GO TEAM! Woooo, we did a sports! (takes off top)

This week our heroes argue sports. Brad is a fan of sport. All of them. Cathy, not so much. Brad makes friends with his new doctor, Cathy makes friends with a imaginary giraffe, Brad worships the false gods, Cathy loves dog-lympics, and both take their tops off. Way to much. We really, really had to get the bleep button out this week... Oh, and in the background it's the Scotch Off Final, with Glen Livet Founders Reserve up against Deanston 12 for the best scotch...

You will have fun! ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET! WHY. ARE. YOU. NOT. HAVING. FUN???

Corporates love a bonding exercise, a team-building event, or a ‘fun’ away day. This may surprise you, dear listener, but our intrepid heros have opinions on this. Loud ones. Obvz.

Brad is attracted to a lion, Cathy gets stood on at a party, Brad assaults an octopus, Cathy faints due to poor conversational etiquette alone, Brad grows lady parts, and Superfan has grapes. Meanwhile, the point of the podcast… The Scotch off is approaching the sh...

This week it's a travel guide (of sorts...), as our intrepid hosts tell the world how to London, what not to do when you visit the greatest city in the world. No one is safe, Londoner are told off just as much as tourists.

Cathy digs herself into a verbal hole repeatedly, Brad commits a mortal sin on the London Underground, Cathy body slams a strangers, Brad yeets a mouse into a bush, and both Cathy & Brad yell at everyone.

As we get to the sharp end of our...

This week, it’s Indian Food!

Cathy insists that Indian food is the best thing ever. Of all time. Brad pushes back with a reasoned, well thought-out argument of “You’re wrong”. Cathy plays a Wizard, Brad plays hélicoptère in Oxford Circus, Cathy impersonates a red panda, Brad has a chilli-related bathroom accident, Cathy war crimes her guests, and we discover why FOR ALL THIS IS GOOD AND HOLY you shouldn’t drink the jug of milk you find lying around. And if your reading this after listening to the introduction, don’t worry, Cathy...

Ever hear the one about an Irish lass telling a lanky Kiwi git how to be Scottish? Brad has never been to a Burns Night Supper, so Cathy teaches him how whilst poetry is shared. That's right, it's a bonus Burns Night episode!

Haggis migrations are studied, ode's to kickstands are recited, whisk(e)y haiku is shared, and the severe contrast of poetry reading skills takes place. Seriously, one of our hero's LITERALLY has multiple awards in poetry reading, whilst the other commits a crime against ears everywhere with the worst reading of...

Are you a cat person or a dog person? Don't worry, either way you'll be mortally offended by this weeks outrageous claims.

Brad expresses his undying love for 3 nachos, Cathy calls you (yes, you specifically) a terrible person, toddler Brad toddles for freedom, Cathy licks her own foot, and in response Brad & Cathy start an OnlyFans. All while our stalwart heroes try to solve that age old argument of which is better, cats or dogs? Settle in, this one is raucous.

As the Scotch Off continues, the whisky's of...

This week, it's morning people in the firing line. Brad is a morning person, and Cathy does not like him.

Cathy is nice to Brad, stouts are chased, Grandfathers are sniffed, and cats are feed. Yep, a pretty typical episode then. The whisk(e)y this week is Tesco 'Special' Reserve vs Deanston 12. Look, not every competition is a even one OK...

It's not canonical, it's not a bonus, but it's CHRISTMAS! Brad is dancing round the room decorating things, Cathy is yelling humbug at Brad's Christmas movie, and the most Christmas themed whisk(e)y's are out. As it suitable for the season, debauchery abounds this week. Seriously, we had to cut some of the stories down... This week it's Bailey's (obvz) up against the lesser known (but visually identical) Magnum Scotch Cream Liqueur. Want to know the full story?!? You can buy us a whisk(e)y, support our poor life choices, or even add to the famous list...

This week it's the start of The Scotch Off! That's right, our heroes have found the best Irish Whiskey of all time* and now it's time to find The. BEST. SCOTCH. Of all time**Cathy says something so foul the censors bleep comes out, Brad doesn't punch a stranger, Cathy wears a full body condom, and Brad rides a penny farthing. The whiskies of the week are Borders Malt & Rye vs Timorous Beastie. Who will take the first match of the first round? * of the 8 that they tried in season one. **Again, of the 8 whisky's that they tried in...

BONUS EPISODE! Serious podcasters would try and protect their voices. Cathy sounds like an irate chipmunk, Brad can't stay awake, but they've broken out the microphones to test some of Cathy's witchcraft voodoo magic cures.This bonus week it's an Irish Penicillin vs a Hot Toddy. No one is blinded, everyone is suffering, but somehow it's still good craic. Plus Cathy sounds ridiculous. Like what we're doing?

Here we find the Best Irish Whiskey OF. ALL. TIME*

*of the 8 we tried this season....

That's right, it's the Irish Final! It's the Dingle Single Malt Irish Whiskey vs Powers Irish Rye. Settle in boys and girls, this one is for all the marbles. The argument of the day is (appropriately) Irishness.

Cathy waves at crows, cowers at wooden spoons, curses us with Irish misery cake, and tells English people they drink wrong. Oh, and Brad's there too.

<...

Do you have the agenda for today? Can we all just check the minutes are accurate? That's right, today we taking on meetings, and the rage that they can induce. Cathy headbutts a table, Brad doesn't know what fruit is, Cathy beats up on an innocent box, Brad gives life tips, and our Hero's take a bottle of whisk(e)y without paying.

Dingle Whiskey and Powers of Irish Rye  are the two whiskey's of the day, as we approach the sharp end of the best of Irish bracket. Who will take this semi-final? Like what we're d...

It’s Halloween time! And this time we’re talking about phobia’s, what our intrepid hosts irrational fears are, and how they deal with them. Spoiler, badly.

Cathy does the splits, brad can't pronounce nomophobia, Cathy wears a tea towel, and as always, whisk(e)y is drunk. This week it’s Grace O’Malley vs Dingle. That’s right Dingle is back, so settle in for some immaturity.

Like what we're doing? You can buy us a whisk(e)y, support our poor choices, or even add to the famous li...

Settle in boys and girls, this is a lore heavy episode.

Cathy is a mechanical genius, brad discusses splashback zones, Cathy get's lost (again), Brad uses salad tongs outside the kitchen, and somehow in an episode about getting lost in pub toilets we don't talk about Millroy's INTENTIONALLY HIDING their loos. If you know, you know.

The season one Irish bracket continues, with Jameson's Irish Whiskey drawing Red Breast 15-year-old. How ever will this one end....

Like what we're doing? You can buy us a whisk(e...

Seriously. The A5204. They're arguing about the name of a road. NOT EVEN A BIG ROAD. And now I have to write a catchy and engaging blurb about this. This is demeaning.

In Episode 11 Cathy & Brad get mad about English road naming conventions, Brad gets to third base with airport security, Cathy meows, Brad makes up words, and Cathy gets lost. Repeatedly.

The season one Irish bracket continues, with Dingle vs Paddy's today. Will this episode be overrun by Paddy's dingle jokes? Spoiler. Yes.

...

It is the great debate, which is the better hot beverage to get you out of bed, power you through the day, and stop you punching colleagues?

No, it's not whisk(e)y, it's TEA VS COFFEE. And we even have some tea alongside our whisk(e)y's this week, with Suki's Tea appearing along the two tipples of the week, Bushmills Blackbush vs Power's Whiskey. The 'Irish Off' continues... Digressions include getting other peoples cats high, Cathy hallucinates 80's TV shows, Brad smelling the colour purple, and Cathy wins middleclass statement of the...

Not a clickbait title. On multiple occasions, all 6 foot of Brad has apparently worn Cathy’s clothes. Listen in intrepid audience, and find out what, how and why.  Besides that,Cathy invents a new pocket, Brad invents a new word, and Milroy's, Marks & Spencer's, and The Whiskey Exchange all get copious shout outs (#NotAnAdd).

Cathy is 4 ft of raging Irish redhead. Brad is a literal giraffe of a human being from Kiwi-land. Both love a tipple of the water of life, and both have 'opinions' after a few. This week, it's woman's clothing.

Like what we...

These two may actually be children. Honestly...

This week it's episode 8, and we're tasting the one, the only, The Dingle! Up against it is the more maturely named Deanston. Oh, also they're arguing about cash or something? Brad does something stupid, Cathy gets mad, Brad embarrasses himself in public, yada yada. You know how it goes.

Both love a tipple of the water of life, and both have 'opinions' after a few.In episode 7 our hero's tackle the big issues of the day. Kickstands, yay or nay? Brad put's it in the bin, Cathy is poetic, Brad gets to second base with a traffic bollard in Edinburgh, and Cathy's friend gets 'jaws of life-ed' out of a bicycle. Seriously. Big ups to Grace O'Malley (Gráinne!!) and Glenmorangie's single malt for fuelling this week's big debate. Which w...

Episode 6 may be the best thing ever recorded. Seriously. Brad is not the performance monkey (?), Cathy LEAPS out of the shower, Brad gets so excited he loses the ability to speak, Cathy shows the neighbours her bits, and they both get daytime drunk.

I'm not even spoiling the topic of the week, it's so seriously...

 Episode 5 is about garden centres, exploding Guinness packaging, buying toilet roll, Tolstoy sitting on your lap, freaky statues, and trying to lift a car.  

Cheers to Paddy’s Whiskey vs Tesco “Finest” (yes really). Spoiler, it does not go well for either of them, but one will have to win. Really.

Interestingly we didn’t tag either producer t...

Cathy is 4 ft of raging Irish redhead. Brad is a literal giraffe of a human being from Kiwi-land. Both love a tipple of the water of life, and both have 'opinions' after a few.

In Episode 4 we learn that Cathy failed at sharing class in pre-school. Brad divides pork into infinity, Cathy complains about other peoples rubbery sausages, Brad drinks in the shower, and Cathy hordes things that she doesn't even want. Like a dragon.

Our whisk(e)ys this week are Timorous Beastie up against the Redbreast 15.

Like what...

In Episode 3, Cathy returns home to Belfast. But first shehas to get there, which means navigating that nightmare of modern life, the AIRPORT! Cathy gets lost (which isn’t unusual), Brad is called fat (a lot), Cathy is a wee cowboy, and everyone somehow take a bomb on a plane.

In Episode 2, our stalwart heroes return. Both are traumatised by New York, Cathy talks Irish politics (because how can anyone be offended by that?), Brad shows too much of himself in Paris, and Cathy falls off the floor.Our whisk(e)y's of the day are Bushmills Black Bush up against Glenlivet Founders Reserve. Who will win? Like what we're doing? You can buy us...

Cathy is 4 ft of raging Irish redhead. Brad is a literal giraffe of a human being from Kiwi-land. Both love a tipple of the water of life, and both have 'opinions' after a few.

In Episode 1 (aka The Pilot) Brad calls out Cathy on her ridiculous claim that she can always pick an Irish Whiskey over a Scotch Whisky. Air is blown up a duck, meringue is stuffed in a whiskey bottle, and Billy Connelly is universally adored.

The drinks of the day are Arran 10 year old vs Sailors Home. Who will...
