The whole back catalogue.
One cocktail, four segments, two dads figuring it out out loud. Newest at the top — and every episode’s kit is on the gear page.
The Field Notes
One email a week: the new episode before it’s public, and the cocktail from the show.
Who Sharpens You?
Thursday, September 24
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another — the group chat that roasts you and is still first to offer a shovel, the dad who wants you better than him, the cousin whose one look still lands, and the friend who told a heartbroken senior to stop moping and come have a beer.
The Sharpie Mustache — equal parts, three-quarters of an ounce each, of gin, rye whiskey, Meletti amaro and Bonal. A little bitters, stirred with ice, strained, finished with an orange peel. Nothing in it to cut it.
Who Is My Neighbor?
Thursday, September 17
The question that keeps getting smaller and closer — a broken mailbox post, a friend’s flooded yard and a borrowed tamper, eighty people with chainsaws the morning the trees came down, and a children’s book about a fridge with nothing in it.
The Silent Order — two ounces of green Chartreuse, half an ounce of fresh lime, half an ounce of water and seven sweet basil leaves. Shaken, not muddled, then double strained and served up in a coupe.
What’s the Money For
Thursday, September 10
Saving for later, and the question underneath every budget — what is the money actually for, if future you doesn’t need it?
The Hemingway Daiquiri — white rum, maraschino liqueur, fresh grapefruit and fresh lime. No simple syrup at all. Shaken hard, double strained, up.
Be the Joneses
Thursday, September 3
The median first-time home buyer is now forty. So is the starter home gone — and does it matter, if home is what you make rather than what you buy?
The Last of the Oaxacans — equal parts mezcal, maraschino liqueur, green Chartreuse and fresh lime. A Last Word with the gin swapped out, which is where the smoke comes from.
Where Work Ends
Thursday, August 27
Rest or sloth? Where the workday is supposed to stop, why it never quite does, and a disagreement the two of them never actually settle.
The Boulevardier — bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth, stirred over ice, strained over a big cube, finished with an orange twist.
The Provider’s Squeeze
Thursday, August 20
What it actually costs to be the one everybody counts on — and the quiet math nobody says out loud.
The Paper Plane — equal parts bourbon or rye, Amaro Nonino, Aperol and fresh lemon. Shaken hard, double strained, up in a coupe.
2.9 Million Bets
Thursday, August 13
The one about risk — the kind you take on purpose, and the kind that takes you.
The Fast No
Thursday, August 6 — the first pour
The reflex answer you give your kid — not because the answer is no, but because your head is already five steps ahead. Plus the Parable of the Talents, our own dads, and a real disagreement about AI.
The Old Fashioned — bourbon or rye, a sugar cube, Angostura, a splash of water. That’s all you need.
