Whiskey Wisdom Podcast

Hey everybody, we're back! We know we say it a lot but you should believe us this time. This week we recorded a classic podcast format where we're just chatting like we usually do off-camera. In the first part of this episode, Nahum talks about his fears of being murdered while working out and Shaq talks about his expedition in a U-Haul from New York to Chicago.

We have a new guest this episode! Ellen ran in some of the same circles as us back in college but it wasn't till after that we got to know her better. On this episode that is definitely the case as we go back and forth on the best breakfast food. Even more so as we talk about our flaws and those of other people. Sometimes the imperfections are the most important parts.  

This episode is a little more free form than usual because we ended up catching up and talking about life than one topic. Our close friend and returning guest EA will be moving to Spain shortly and we are exploring all things related. Topics include becoming an independant adult, what he's most excited about, missing the dog more than family, and why Shaq watches his anime in French.

New Guest! This week we are joined by an old co-worker (and friend?) of Nahum. Jeffie was excited to make her podcasting debut and has an eye opening discussions. First up is one about co-workers, friends, sex workers and friends who are sex workers being hired by co-workers. Second is a conversation about helping strangers and what level of help is one morally obligated to give. The levels and re...

This week we answer a question about someone having issues with their best friends significant other. The question then evolved into how to navigate certain situations of a relationship properly and why maintaining your friendships are key to the overall success of your relationship with your partner.

Once again we discuss unusual situations that may actually help you have better relationships with those around you. This time with our old time friend Carlos to join us. Join us as we do a post game breakdown of a Valentine's Day threesome. What went wrong, why, and how to make it better. Tied into that is a conversation on physical intimacy vs emotional intimacy. How easy the lines can be both d...

There's no topic this week, Nahum and Shaq both had crazy stories from the night before that needed to be shared.

In this episode, Bobby joins us in the studio once again. We talk about our experiences with dating interracially and how the benefits vs troubles weigh against each other.

Weddings should be happy fun events, unless you are in them that is. For her first appearance on the show we sat down with Nahum's friend and coworker Vidhi to talk about potential bridezillas and unique wedding traditions. We share some traditions from our respective backgrounds including shoes, money, and potential crimes sometimes all wrapped in one.

Thank you all again for all the support and listens, we appreciate each and every one of you. End of year, time for reflections and commentaries. In this ep, we talk about the past year-- what could have gone better, and things we were grateful for. 

Taking a step away from our usual funny and philosophical talks, this talk moves into something more practical that we can implement to improve our lives and the lives of those around us. 

We welcome back our marriage consultant for an interesting pair of conversations about sex and a session of couple's counseling. To start we try to break down the minimum emotional connection needed for sex. In particular we ask: could have sex with someone you hate? Shaq and Nahum are not the people to ask. Then we have a conversation about comparing exes in a relationship and addressing issues w...

In this episode, we have our boy Josh on and talk about the concept of soulmates. Do they exist? Do we overemphasize their importance in a relationship? Do we self-destruct meaningful relationships in the search of the "perfect" one? One of our best episodes to date.

This episode has a couple lessons about maturity and how one's decisions may bring about drastic consequences in an instant. Its more story than lesson but it we think it makes the point. Enjoy this little bit of behind the scenes where we catch up and talk about things that didn't make it into the main episode.

Taking risks is a part of life, starting a business during a pandemic counts as one for sure. During the second half of our talk with Antonio we got into his experience on starting a company, taking risks, and experiencing Uber from both sides.

This first part of talk with Antonio is strictly for entertainment! Join us for more stories about Big Boss, animals, domestic bliss, and more!

We don't usually have a part 3 but this one was key and also did some work to highlight the other segments. So much of what we talk about is a by product of poor or non-existent communication. In this session poor and lack of communication can be seen in part 1 and 2 respectfully. It doesn't matter if its with romantic partners, friends, family or co-workers we could all do better at communicating...

On this second part of our talk with Melisa we talk about a woman who has reservations about a potential partner paying for sex. What is the current outlook on sex work and sex workers. What underlying concerns if any surround someone who has paid for sex. And what factors can lead to it as well as why sex can often seem so much like the end all be all on a date especially for males. 

Melisa joins us again for a surprisingly deep conversation about dental dams, sex, and society. This honestly started as a joke because Nahum had thought about it before, but then Shaq had some questionable things to admit. We are asking the real, if maybe amateur, questions and laughing while we do it. 

On part 3 of Lauren and Connors episode a wife's husband offered to pay for a lady coach because she has changed during the Covid lockdown. Fundamental problem, sarcastic banter, or mental health concern? Pick your poison among others that we toss out or you may think about and see what the general consensus is. More important than the particular incident listen to how we think this can be avoided...

On part two of Lauren & Connor's episode we talk about couples going on vacation, or failing to anyways. This couple's boyfriend refuses to pay for his partner to come on vacation despite the fact that he "easily" can. That would be one conversation enough but it gets so much worse since the GF is the financially responsible one. 

Its appropriate that we have a couple on for this question! Back for her second episode with us is our friend Lauren and this time she is accompanied by her significant other Connor. Our first question seems pretty bad and straight forward but hear us out. We don't all agree on the verdict and we just might make convince you too. 

Listen to a quicker conversations about E.A.'s question for us. We will go over how much we approach relationships and what the pros and cons can be. Regardless of which side you fall on you probably could use some additional perspective from the other side. Listen and help apply it to part 1 of this week's guest or in your own life.

We are joined by long time friend E.A. for a conversation about failing to start a relationship. Standing up for yourself, being self assured, knowing what you want, and even knowing when to leave are all at play here. You pick which part is most important. In today's topic we see a young man trying everything he can think of to start a serious relationship; maybe its just time to let it go though...

People never cease to amaze us, particularly with creations we've never even heard of before. In this episode, the second part of our Darius' conversation, we talk about a family hosting an apology dinner for a mother trying to break up her daughter's relationship. You gotta hear this to believe it.
