  • Tyrnilambic Baie d'Argousier: Cantillon Goes Wild with Sea Buckthorn | Ep. 123
    Jul 18 2025

    Cantillon’s Tyrnilambic Baie d'Argousier is sea buckthorn in a lambic, and it’s as funky and legendary as you’d expect. Spontaneously fermented, aged in dusty barrels, and loaded with tart, citrusy berries, this one’s a cult classic for a reason.

  • Edward Dando: The Oyster Thief Who Didn’t Give a Shuck | The Spill
    Jul 16 2025

    Ever heard of a man so committed to eating for free that he made it a full-time job and a criminal record? Meet Edward Dando, the 19th-century Londoner who scammed his way through more oysters than a hangry TikTok influencer with a seafood sponsorship.

    In this Spill, we dive into the (surprisingly well-documented) life of a dude who got drunk, smashed shellfish, stiffed the bill, and then asked for more, like some kind of Victorian-era Chad. Was he a folk hero? A chaotic grifter? A man with a death wish and a stomach of steel? Join us as we try to figure out whether Dando was a menace to society or just one of history’s greatest freeloaders.

    This one’s fast, funny, and loaded with mollusks. Let’s get into it.

  • How a Monk’s Wine Became Scotland’s Most Feared Beverage | Ep. 122
    Jul 11 2025

    What happens when monks, caffeine, and alcohol collide? Buckfast Tonic Wine has been called "wreck the hoose juice" for a reason, and we’re here to find out why. From its bizarre monastic origins to its unholy connection to Scottish street crime, this stuff has serious lore.

    Matt, Jason, and Drew dig into the story behind Buckfast while getting way too excited about glass shards, caffeine-soaked riots, and whether this wine is technically… wine.

  • What the Hell Is Sciacchetrà? The Sweet Secret of Cinque Terre | The Spill
    Jul 9 2025

    In this Spill, Matt surprises Jason with a bottle of Sciacchetrà: a rare, golden, sweet dessert wine made on the cliffs of Cinque Terre, Italy. It’s fermented from sun-dried grapes, aged by tradition, and produced in such tiny quantities it’s practically liquid folklore.

    We break down the ancient passito method, the grueling cliffside harvest, and how this cult-status wine became protected by Italian DOC laws. Bonus: Matt’s wife Kendra brought this bottle back straight from Italy, so this episode hits a little closer to home... and palate.

  • The Fire That Burned a City and Killed No One (Almost) | Ep. 121
    Jul 4 2025

    In 1875, a warehouse in Dublin’s Liberties district exploded into flames, igniting more than 5,000 barrels of whiskey and unleashing a river of fire through the streets. But the fire itself didn’t kill anyone. The whiskey did.

    This episode dives into the wild true story of the Dublin Whiskey Fire, where:

    🔥 Streets flowed with flaming booze
    🍺 Locals scooped whiskey with boots, hats, and porringers
    🧠 Firefighters used manure and gravel to stop the blaze
    💀 Thirteen people died of alcohol poisoning, not fire

    One of the weirdest disasters in drinking history, and a turning point in how cities stored spirits.

  • The Bourbon Strike You Never Heard About (But Should Have) | The Spill
    Jul 2 2025

    In 2021, one of the biggest names in bourbon, Heaven Hill Distillery, was at the center of a massive labor strike that shook the heart of Kentucky’s bourbon industry.

    In this Spill, Matt and Jason dig into how the strike started, why nearly 420 union workers walked out, and what was really at stake: healthcare, overtime, family time, and the soul of bourbon itself.
    What seemed like a simple contract dispute turned into a six-week showdown between tradition and corporate growth. We’ll break down the drama, the picket lines, the local fallout, and how it all got resolved.

  • The Bootlegger King Who Killed His Wife and Got Away With It | Ep. 120
    Jun 27 2025

    George Remus made millions bootlegging during Prohibition, lived like Gatsby, married a woman named Imogene, then murdered her in broad daylight. The kicker? He defended himself in court…and walked free.

    This episode of Arsenic Culture dives into one of the wildest real-life crime sagas in American history:

    💰 The “King of the Bootleggers”
    🚘 A high-speed car chase through Cincinnati
    ⚖️ A murder trial featuring self-defense, insanity pleas, and stickpins
    💔 Betrayal, revenge, and Shakespeare-level chaos

    Prohibition was messy. George Remus was messier.

  • The Cult of Dirty Soda: From Mormons to KFC | The Spill
    Jun 25 2025

    Welcome to the sweet, syrupy, slightly unhinged world of Dirty Soda: a drink that somehow combines Diet Coke, coconut syrup, cream, and religious guilt.

    In this Spill, Matt and Jason break down how a Mormon workaround for coffee and booze turned into a national flavor phenomenon, complete with TikTok trends, sugar bombs, and yes… KFC’s Peaches & Cream Mountain Dew. We dive into the Utah roots of chains like Swig, explore the absurd combinations people swear by, and try to figure out why anyone would add dairy to Dr Pepper.

    Is it delicious? Is it disgusting? Is it a gateway soda to worse decisions?
    Tune in and find out.
