Battle for the Back Row (episode 8) tequila review
Lippy gets DEEP into some sticky-sweet emotional territory in this “Tequila FIGHT”!
While the tequila reviews are interesting and scholarly as always(?) it’s the MUSICAL soundtrack to this episode that will twist your knickers! Turns out The BEATLES showed up in all of their remastered MONO glory — and they decide to hang out for the entire show. Add to this, the sweet nostalgia of Lippy’s cousin, Les, chatting in from their hometown in Penna., and you have a fully emotionally satisfying conclusion. Is that a tear of joy in his eye, or is it the TEQUILA talking?
Herradura reposado vs. Antiguo reposado (episode 7) tequila review
In this emotionally angst-riddled episode, th’ Lip is doing some ‘internal work‘ in public as he grapples with the prospect of: A. — Continuing to pay for his tasting bottles with his OWN MONEY, or B. — Accepting promotional bottles from the distillers directly.
Gee, wonder what he decides to do??
Hahahaha!
