This week on One Drink Podcast, we’re going full 80s nostalgia and drafting the greatest non-human sidekicks of all time. No humans allowed — just the loyal, weird, and sometimes questionably helpful companions that stole the show.

From the sarcastic alien ALF, to Howard the Duck, E.T. to the iconic furball Chewbacca — we’re breaking down who we’d actually want by our side.

Do you go with brains, muscle, comic relief… or pure chaos?

We each pick our ultimate 80s sidekick and see who we could hang out with for a week. You will be surprised at who we pick and not surprised who we didn't pick.

Expect debates, terrible logic, and at least one pick that makes everyone else say, “What are you doing?!”

Because let’s be honest — if you’re rolling through life with a sidekick, it better not be the one getting you killed in the first act.

On this episode of One Drink Podcast, we’re putting you on the spot with a tough one—you can only hang out with ONE.

Do you roll with Taylor Swift for a night of storytelling and songwriting secrets?
Kick it with Ariana Grande and live that superstar lifestyle?
Grab a drink with Pink for some real talk and zero filter?
Or keep it fun and down-to-earth with Kelly Clarkson?

We break down the vibes, the personalities, and what that night would actually look like—because let’s be honest… not all hangouts are created equal.

One question. One drink. One choice.

Who you picking?

On this episode of One Drink Podcast, we throw it straight back to the loud, ridiculous, awesome 1980s. One drink in and two random 80s questions hit the table.

First up: Rocky vs. The Karate Kid. If Rocky Balboa trained with Mr. Miyagi instead of Mickey, does he become an unstoppable fighting machine… or does he just end up painting fences and waxing cars?

Then we turn up the volume and ask the ultimate arena question: who owned the 80s harder — Metallica or Bon Jovi? One band brought the thunder, the other brought the hair, hooks, and stadium anthems.

Two ridiculous questions. One drink. A lot of 80s nostalgia.

We chatted with his producer Alex off camera trading ideas of how each of our podcasts runs production. Tune in for ONE DRINK and you will relate or laugh ONE way or another with this episode.

Back in the 80s, subtlety wasn’t exactly the theme. If it exploded, launched, or came with a plastic survival knife the size of your forearm, it was probably on a toy shelf next to the board games. Enter the legendary Rambo toy kit — the kind that came loaded with plastic machine guns, oversized combat knives, and enough pretend grenades to make your mom question her life choices.

Inspired by First Blood and the larger-than-life chaos of John Rambo, these toy sets weren’t just action figures — they were full-blown backyard war campaigns. Kids weren’t “role-playing.” They were on missions. The woods behind the house? Vietnam. The swing set? Strategic high ground. The garden hose? Battlefield survival.

Today? That same toy aisle would look very different. Bright orange tips, soft foam darts, and a lot more “adventure explorer” branding instead of full combat loadouts. The 80s didn’t ask questions. They handed you a plastic bandolier and said, “Be home by dinner.”

On this episode of One Drink Podcast, we crack open the nostalgia vault and ask:

• Were 80s toy companies absolutely wild… or just built different?
• Did these toys fuel imagination — or were they a little too realistic?
• Could a Rambo toy kit even survive a focus group in 2026?

It’s a look back at a time when toy stores felt like mini armories, backyard battles were an Olympic sport, and nobody blinked twice at a 7-year-old carrying a plastic grenade.

Grab a drink — this one’s locked, loaded, and dripping with 80s nostalgia.

On this episode of One Drink Podcast, we sit down with members Butch and Ghost Rider of Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.) — an organization dedicated to creating safer environments for abused children.

These aren’t weekend hobby riders. They’re trained, organized, and committed to standing between fear and a child who needs strength. We talk about how B.A.C.A. works with families and law enforcement, what it takes to become a member, and the real stories that show why their mission matters.

This conversation isn’t about politics. It’s about protection. It’s about presence. And it’s about giving kids back the confidence that was taken from them.

One drink. One mission. Real impact.

This week on One Drink Podcast, we’re rewinding the clock and popping in a fresh VHS — it’s Back to the 80s!

We’re debating the real heavyweight champ of the decade: 80s cable TV or the legendary Nintendo video game era. Was it racing home to catch your favorite show before someone changed the channel… or blowing into a cartridge like a professional technician just to get one more life?

We’re talking scrambled channels you weren’t supposed to watch, giant remote controls that could double as a brick, Saturday morning cartoon rituals, and the frustration of finally beating a level with no save button in sight. No pause screens. No streaming. No updates. You got three lives and a dream.

Was the 80s better spent parked in front of cable… or glued to a controller? We’re settling it the old-school way — one drink at a time.

From backyard bonfires to bachelor parties that definitely went too far, this episode of the One Drink Podcast breaks down the many ways guys hang out—and argues (loudly) about which one is truly the best. Is it the low-key fire pit with folding chairs and bad music? The legendary road trip that somehow involved zero planning? Or the bachelor party that everyone remembers differently?

We cover the full spectrum: beers in a garage, wings during the game, late nights that start calm and end with stories that can’t be told in public. No schedules, no feelings circles—just guys doing what they’ve always done: talking trash, telling the same stories, and bonding over absolutely nothing… which somehow means everything.

Crack one, pull up a chair, and decide for yourself: what’s the greatest guy hangout of all time?
Spoiler alert: it probably involves a fire, a cooler, and someone saying, “Alright, one more.”
