In true Japanese drinking fashion, the Buddies tie one on with the assistance of two bottles of good sake. They drink wayyyyyyy more than usual, and by the end… out come the awkward prom date stories.
That being said, go ahead and file this episode under “educational.” What? Drunk AND informative? How can this be?! S’mike, a certified sake expert, shares tons of info about making and drinking sake, including drinking rituals, types of rice and even who pours when. Also, he explains the exact way that gas prices are calculated.
Neeeeeeeeerd alert.
The Buddies then dig into Mike’s Shoebox of Detritus, left over from high school and college. Hint: he liked knives as a younger man.
Other topics covered include booze for giant monsters, the douchey archaeologists who dug up the fabled buried Atari cartridges and S’mike’s drunken rant about poor industrial design. Seriously, never has a pencil sharpener received such a tongue-thrashing.
Somehow, the Buddies find time for comedy as well. It’s a longer episode than usual, but you can turn this into a drinking game- just take a drink every time Mike flubs a word!
