18 MAR 2024 · To celebrate 3Q3D’s third anniversary, the original crew regroups and recreates the show’s very first episode down to the exact same questions. While Amanda, Chris and Matt are certainly more comfortable on air, they begin to question nearly everything (including *gasp* backing into every parking space) and end up lamenting democracy writ large. While the questions from Episode 1 return, the drinks are decidely better this go round: the team brings back a few favorite cocktails from 3Q3D’s quixotic 3-year journey, including the Old Cuban, a perfect Old Fashioned, and, fittingly, the Birthday Cake Martini.

19 FEB 2024 · THE MOVIES! Amanda Adams sits in the director’s chair for this big, buttery episode about the movies we love – and the movies we love to hate. And, as she guides the OG 3Q3D crew through a conversation about the films that framed our youth, what makes a movie objectively great, and why we love some movies that are objectively terrible, Amanda can’t help but get sentimental about a certain Legendary movie from her formative years. If you’re a Gen X’er and a film fan, this energetic episode is for you. Drinks in this Episode: Classic Daquiri cocktail >> 2 oz light rum; 1 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed; 3/4 oz demerara sugar syrup. Add the rum, lime juice and demerara sugar syrup to a shaker with ice, and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe, garnish with a lime wedge and imagine a “Legends of the Fall” era Brad Pitt is approaching on horseback. Delicious! Ache Orange Creamsicle Sourt by Heart State Brewing >> Crack open this beer, pour it into a cold glass, and prepare to be perplexed by how little this actually tastes like an orange creamsicle. Do yourself a favor and go make the actual Orange Creamsicle Cocktail from Episode 80 and thank us later. Espresso Martini >> 2 oz vodka; 1/2 oz Kahlúa; 1 oz espresso, freshly brewed; 1/4 ounce simple syrup. Add vodka, Kahlúa, espresso and simple syrup to a shaker filled with ice and shake until well-chilled.

7 FEB 2024 · PARENTING! With 13 children between them, Amanda, Matt and Chris debate unconventional parenting do’s and don’ts, discuss whether parents today spend too little or too much time with their kids, and ponder how much our parental actions ultimately determine our children’s fate. In classic 3Q3D fashion, this conversation zig-zags between the insightful and the absurd while steadily building to a third cocktail crescendo (and supercharged, at the halfway mark, by THE GREATEST DRINK IN 3Q3D HISTORY). If you’re the kind of person who might shame a child into having excellent taste, then this episode is for you. Drinks in this Episode: Waterloo Cocktail >> 1 ½ oz blended whiskey, ¾ oz Mandarine Napoleon liqueur (or substitute Gran Marnier), ¼ freshly squeezed lemon juice, ¼ oz simple syrup; combine ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Pour into a rocks glass with ice, top with 3-5 oz chilled club soda and garnish with an orange slice. Toast to your excellent taste, as well as your ability to weaponize shame as a go-to parenting tool. Orange Dreamsicle Cocktail >> 2 oz whipped cream vodka, 1 oz vanilla vodka, 3 oz orange juice (no pulp, as God intended), heavy whipping cream; combine both vodkas and OJ in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass, top with a few splashes of heavy whipping cream, garnish with an orange wedge and then drop in an AN ACTUAL CREAMSICLE. Take one sip and be instantly transported back to the halcyon summer days of your youth when all was right with the world. Vieux Carré Cocktail >> 3/4 oz rye whiskey; 3/4 oz cognac; 3/4 oz sweet vermouth; 2 teaspoons Benedictine liqueur; 2 dashes Peychauds bitters; 1 dash Angostura bitters; Garnish: maraschino cherry or lemon twist. Add the rye whiskey, cognac, sweet vermouth, Benedictine and bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice or a cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry, a lemon twist (or both), and lift a glass in honor of Fat Tuesday or simply as the perfect counterbalance to an Orange Dreamsicle cocktail.

26 JAN 2024 · DRINKING & ALCOHOL. Alcohol is the only drug where, if you don’t use it, people assume you have a problem. Kind of weird, right? It seems that alcohol – and our culture of drinking – are topics worth exploring. Hence, in this special “crossover” episode, 3Q3D regular Amanda Adams, and occasional 3Q3D visitor and fan favorite Colt McCutcheon, sit down with Chris Mikolay at the halfway mark of his Dry January goal to pour a few (booze free) drinks to discuss several questions that are interesting no matter how much you’ve imbibed: why are humans compelled to drink to excess? Will future generations view alcohol consumption as we view smoking today? And, the most controversial of all: is it ever okay to allow underage kids (and their friends) to drink in your home? Drinks in this Episode: Athletic Brewing Co. Run Wild Non-Alcoholic IPA >> Crack a can of this booze-less beer and chug until your hearts content. Don’t worry, nothing happens (except at some point you’ll have to pee). Restore Cold Pressed Immunity Juice >> Visit your local cold pressed juice shop for a bottle of zesty apple, lemon, ginger and cayenne brew. Pour over ice and sprinkle a little cayenne pepper on top for added flair. Toast to your good health and the first good drinking decision you’ve made in years! Fake Gin & Tonic >> 2 parts Clean Co. non-alcoholic gin, 4 parts Fever Tree Elderflower tonic; pour gin and tonic into a glass over ice, garnish with a lime, and pretend to like it. The Sober Man’s Aviation cocktail >> 2 parts Clean Co. non-alcoholic gin, 1 small spoonful of Luxardo cherry syrup, 1 part lavender simple syrup, 1 1/2 parts freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a coupe. Garnish with a Luxardo cherry and lemon peel. Tell yourself it’s just like the real thing and muster the strength to hold back the tears.

3 JAN 2024 · THE YEAR IN REVIEW / THE YEAR AHEAD. For the 3rd time, Amanda Adams, Matt Jordan and Chris Mikolay record a New Year’s episode that reviews the year’s biggest headlines – from events both consequential and alarming, to stories immaterial but impossible to ignore. After lively discussion (and Amanda’s cocktail redemption), the group turns the page on 2023 and makes bold predictions for the year ahead. Fans of the classic 3Q3D format will enjoy this episode as it slaloms swiftly between the silly and the serious and, in true 3Q3D fashion, gets more interesting with every sip.

21 NOV 2023 · AUSTRALIA vs. ENGLAND vs. AMERICA! In this special transcontinental episode, Chris invites an awesome Aussie, Belynda Thomas, and Englishman extraordinaire, Elliot Grey, into the studio to spill the tea on what it’s like living in America from an ex-pat perspective. As the group sips and snacks on Elliot's "posh pigs in a blanket", things escalate faster than American portion sizes – from friendly banter to an epic showdown that seeks to determine which great nation reigns supreme when it comes to music (The Beatles, case closed), animals (50 million kangaroos can't be wrong) and culinary delights (your country is automatically disqualified if you enjoy either Vegemite or Marmite, sorry). Whether you prefer your soccer to be called football or your football to use Australian rules, you’ll enjoy listening to Belynda and Elliot discuss their perspective on Australian, British and American culture as much as you’ll love their classic Aussie and British senses of humour. Drinks in this Episode: Elliot’s Proper G&T >> 1 part Sipsmith® London Dry Gin, high-quality tonic water, wedge of fresh lime. Fill a highball glass with ice, pour in gin and top off with tonic. Garnish with a wedge of fresh lime and cheer on the Everton Blues. Belynda’s Aussie Autumn Fizz >> 2 parts apple cider, 1 part caramel vodka, Prosecco, diced apples. Pour cider and caramel vodka in a champagne glass filled and top with Prosecco. Add freshly cut apples to the drink and enjoy while watching Skippy the Kangaroo. Apple Pie Martini >> FOR THE RIM: 1 tablespoon fine graham cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, Pinch of ground cinnamon. FOR THE MARTINI: ½ cup apple cider, 3 tablespoons simple syrup, ¼ cup vodka, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon schnapps, ¼ teaspoon apple pie spice, Pinch of salt optional.

In a cocktail shaker with ice, place all the ingredients and shake it. Pour into the prepare glass while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

6 NOV 2023 · THE POLITICS EPISODE. With an introduction as long as the Gettysburg Address, Chris explains (by using his beloved Cleveland Browns as an incredibly strained metaphor for political tribalism) why he has actively avoided political conversation on the podcast thus far - and why it's now finally time to analyze our nation's current political divide. Chris is joined by longtime 3Q3D cohost and political junkie Amanda Adams, as well as an actual living, breathing politican: Ohio State Representative for the 34th district of the Ohio House of Representatives, Casey Weinstein. Over drinks both sophisticated and unrefined, the group discusses the root causes of our political polarization and whether it’s possible to have better political conversations - including how we might see people less through the lens of red or blue and instead, as human beings worthy of respect no matter their political persuasion. Drinks in this episode: Ole Smoky Mountain Apple Pie Moonshine >> Call Uncle Jessie and have them Duke boys pack up the General Lee with a few bottles of Hazzard County's finest 'shine for delivery before Election Day. Pour it over ice and taste that sweet, sweet freedom. Sidecar Cocktail >> 1 1/2 oz cognac; 3/4 oz orange liqueur (such as Cointreau); 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice. Coat the rim of a coupe glass with sugar, and set aside. Add the cognac, orange liqueur and lemon juice to a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.Strain into the prepared glass, garnish with an orange twist and toast to democracy. Baluarte Reposado Tequila Reserva Especial >> Fly to Mexico and be seduced into purchasing this delicious 100% agave tequila by a smooth talking employee of the airport Duty Free Shop. Pour into a cocktail glass over a large ice cube, garnish with a lime wedge while citing the Pledge of Allegiance.

30 OCT 2023 · THE SHARK TANK EPISODE. At some point in our lives, we all have a million-dollar idea. The biggest difference between a successful idea and one that fails, though, is often simply this: whether or not one takes action. In today's episode of 3Q3D, you'll meet three women who not only have big ideas, they’re turning them into reality. Over three great drinks – including a cocktail inspired by one of the most successful female entrepreneurs in history – Chris mimics Mr. Wonderful and challenges Kris Leigh, the founder of FÜZI Pets, and Sarah Filipovitz and Ellen Velez, the co-founders of FlipFort, to prove that their respective startups can become the next big thing. Kris, Sarah, and Ellen candidly share what inspired them to take the entrepreneurial leap of faith, lessons learned and struggles they never anticipated, and – as busy working mothers – the upside of being a 'mom-preneur.' If you've ever dreamt of doing something bold, or if you're just fascinated by people who have the courage to put ideas into action, you'll admire Kris, Sarah, and Ellen's entrepreneurial moxie.

23 OCT 2023 · FEELING BURNED OUT – AND FINDING BALANCE. If you’ve wondered why it’s been a minute since a new episode of 3Q3D dropped, well, Chris has been totally burned out, man. But fear not, because Matt and Amanda come to the rescue with a few great questions about the nature of burnout and how one can restore balance to a busy life. While the questions are excellent and the conversation vintage 3Q3D, the cocktails are a bit on the questionable side: after Matt pours a delightfully creamy concoction, Amanda makes something like an Old Fashioned, only awful, and Chris, well, he uses a blender to concoct a frozen Tokyo Tea that only a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle could love. If you’ve been feeling similarly stuck in a rut, let this episode be the self-care you deserve. Drinks in this Episode: Matt Jordan’s Creamy Delight >> 2 parts Bailey’s Irish Cream, 1 part vanilla vodka. Pour vodka and Bailey’s over ice and console a friend going through a tough time. Frozen Tokyo Tea >> ½ oz gin, ½ oz melon liqueur, ½ oz rum, ½ oz tequila, ½ oz triple sec, ½ oz vodka, 1 oz sweet and sour mix. Place ingredients in a blender with ice and turn it on high. Pour the resulting glowing green slushie into a cup, bow respectfully to your drinking pals, and watch out for brain freeze. Konnichiwa! Maple Rum Old Fashioned (?) >> Sounds cool, but, well, decide for yourself: pour 2 oz dark rum, ½ oz maple syrup and 2 dashes angostura bitters into a cocktail glass and garnish with an orange twist.

8 AUG 2023 · WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE. RIGHT? Matt Jordan takes over for the second time as host of the good ship 3Q3D, and in so doing, leads a fun and fascinating conversation with Chris Mikolay and Sam LiPuma – an author, professor and 3Q3D newcomer – that explores several of the most interesting questions ever posed on the podcast. Over 3 drinks as unique as each question, Matt, Chris and Sam debate whether it’s ever okay to take a life, ponder the pros and cons of immortality, and finally, bets are placed on what happens when the lights go out. The three may not all agree on the answers to each question, but one thing is for sure: drink enough Angels Envy bourbon…and you will receive total consciousness (which is nice). Drinks in this Episode: White Russian >> 2 oz vodka, 1 oz Kahlúa, 1 splash heavy cream. Add the vodka and Kahlúa to a rocks glass filled with ice, top with the heavy cream by pouring it over a spoon so it looks like a Starbucks beverage made for a sorority girl. Pineapple Banana Orange Crush >> 2 oz pineapple/banana/orange juice, 2 oz orange vodka, 1 oz Triple Sec, lemon-lime soda like Sprite or 7UP. Pour juice, vodka and Triple Sec into a glass filled with crushed ice. Top off with Sprite/7 up and garnish with an orange wedge. Stir and, provided humanity has finally cured death, enjoy for the next several millennia. Angels Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey >> Pour at least two fingers into a proper Glencairn glass and don’t even think about using ice. Raise a glass to the angels above who wish they could have just a taste.
