The Buddies drink Mike’s original cocktail, the “Medica Libre,” as they are joined by special guest Jefferson Svengsouk, a fellow sake enthusiast and, quite literally, the single most interesting person either of them has ever met!
Don’t believe us? Listen to the podcast and learn a ton about brewing sake at home, playing the Native American flute in Emergency Rooms as music therapy, keeping bees, exercising with maces and much, much more!
See? We weren’t exaggerating!
“Medica Libre” recipe: 2oz white rum, splash Apple Pie moonshine, 3/4 bottle Fentimans Dandelion and Burdock soda, 1 lime wedge.

With Special Guest Jefferson Svengsouk, Literally the Most Interesting Man In the World
On a very special after-school episode of Buddies In Space, S’mike gets bullied by Mike’s two-year-old son. Sticks and stones break his bones, and names hurt S’mike deeply…
To ease S’mike’s pain, Mike whips up a tasty maple syrup and pot still whiskey Old Fashioned, and the Buddies recount their New Year’s Eve lameness, their day of board gaming and they finally discuss That Thing In Rogue One That Mike Didn’t Want To Discuss Right After The Movie Came Out.
Also: New board game reviews! The OA! Humorous contextual phrasing!
The Buddies cast their final pod of 2016 while knocking back extra-strength sake “Man Cans,” left over from S’mike’s latest Sake Meet Up. Mike loses his $#!^ over Rogue One, discussing it’s may virtues with as few spoilers as possible.
The Buddies then turn their attention to episodic television and each makes a case either for or against it, based on how Netflix has turned the TV industry on its head. Intelligent stuff is said, but who is right? You be the judge!
Also: Misbehaving video game cameras! Mean children! New Year’s resolutions! And buddiness…

In Defense of Episodic Television, and Why It Should Die
In this Christmas episode, the Buddies sip a holiday-themed interpretation of the classic rum punch as S’mike helps Mike unbox his latest Firefly-themed Cargo Crate from Loot Crate. Mike doesn’t know what’s in it, which S’mike uses to torment his compatriot.
Also… Tales from Opry Land! Near-matricide! The scariest roller coaster experience ever! The innate horrors of urban decay! Oh, and and comedy, too!
Btw, the sheer genius of this episode’s title will only become evident if you listen to the episode. Or if you know virtually anything about Firefly.
