To celebrate the milestone, we're joined by Brian — friend of the pod, walking booze encyclopedia, and now official five-time guest, which means he's earned something special. A jacket? A trophy? A thong? We haven't decided yet, but he's definitely asking for a rider clause going forward.

Brian gifts the podcast a bottle of Stagg, which is harder to find than a quiet moment in Mike's house, and we immediately spiral into New Year Revolutions (not resolutions). Brian's family actively revolts against old habits and then reviews how badly they did last year. Alex doesn't do yearly goals at all — he's entered a new Taylor Swift–inspired phase of life: the Middle-of-the-Road Era. Staying between the lines counts as growth.

Brian explains that at this point in life he's basically an early-2000s Toyota Corolla — if you ignore the problems long enough, they eventually go away. Alex revisits the year he tried to get healthy and blew out his belly button, appearing nine months pregnant, while Mike offers the obvious fix: just hit it back in with a pan.

We hear stories from Brian's high school days working at the zoo, including how his resting bitch face earned him backstage access and how replacing an artist's tube socks with pink socks ended his zoo concert shopping career forever.

We also demand a modern GoldenEye re-release, learn about Brian's self-created Friend of the Year Award (which Mike and Alex immediately tried to destroy each other to win), and prepare Brian for his first-ever travel sports parent experience — advice delivered by the "sage and experienced duo" who absolutely do not sugarcoat it.

It's everything Whiskey n Whine has ever been: great whiskey, great friends, questionable advice, and stories that somehow made it to Episode 100.

🥃 Cheers to 100.
