Season 2 :: Episode 8 :: Quit Your Whining


Here on Dude Night, we've taken many chances. We talked about sitting down to pee before we even knew who was listening. Clarke's confessed to watching Oprah with his wife. Dawg & Gonso have admitted they enjoy things that women do that Clarke does not. Hell, just a few episodes ago, we played country music.

So we decided to take it one step further. We did a wine show. Not one drop of beer, just wine. O-Man, Dawg and Gonso provide some careful insight on the wines, as well as suggestions for food pairings.

To provide a balancing act, we discuss boxing, hangovers, lots of sports (yes, there's a game involved), and Clarke reads a touching letter he wrote to Stone Brewing. The question remains - did he send it?

In regards to wine, we start with a 2004 Sanford Pinot Noir, which was very smooth. Then we move to a 2005 Barrel 27 Syrah, which was even better - punchier. Things get a little fuzzy after this. We drink a Zinfandel none of us can remember the name of, then some merlot blend that I don't even recall. It was great though, you should get some.

Listen to the downward spiral of "Quit Your Whining" here.

Music by The Crystal Method. Special thanks to Groucho and CHUD from The Beer Report, and to our good friend Don for providing an excellent bottle of Pinot Noir for the show.

Cheers, and thanks again for your continued support of Dude Night, and the Beer Safari - it's a jungle out there.

What's more painful than listening to you talk about wine? The sports quiz. Do you even follow sports? There were more softballs than a gym full of 8th graders.

Now I know why you guys didn't answer the hockey questions... if you're that bad with baseball there's no way you guys were getting hockey.

You drink wine, talk about tennis and soccer. *sigh* where's the dude factor in dude night? See what wine does to you!

Axiom: Ouch.

Father Spoon: Double-ouch.

We had to do something manly to mix up the wine talk. I will say the wine was very good, very strong, and went really well with the steaks we cooked that night. In hindsight, maybe the sports quiz was a bad idea.

Thanks for listening, regardless.

Pete Rose???? How the Hell do you guys not know Pete Rose is the all-time hit leader? Don't even get me started on Ricky Henderson!

Then again, we are talking about guys who would rather pick F-1 and World Cup questions before baseball and football! Christ! Thank God you guys ripped a few farts so we knew it was "Dude Night"!

Just kidding! You guys take it like men! Good thing O-Man was there to raise the testosterone!

Oh, and for the record... When I am drinking GREAT beers... I have yet to get a bad hangover.

Another great show... Oh, and nice intro! :)

Rambo? whoa... I hadn't heard this, not sure about this one - although I enjoyed Rocky much more than I would have figured. Did you hear X Files is making a new movie for 2007? With the original cast nonetheless.

Great grape description guys... Cheesy

I like the occasional wine... so I guess the occasional wine cast from Dude Night ain't bad.

Still have more to wade through - but am enjoying it thus far.

Worst Hangover -
Liquor. I don't even have to pound liquor to wake up with a hangover. Next is mixing - but I only mix when I am already toast.

I am impressed you guys recovered that train wreck that was the end of your show... wow. I have never felt sorry for a microphone before.
