Andy, Josh, and Siobhan join Matt to take a sip of nostalgia with Monica and David Kowalski, the creative duo behind Lebowski's Kool-Luah coffee liqueur and Lebowski's Tap Room in Colorado Springs. Monica shares how she's been crafting this remarkable coffee liqueur since she was just eight years old, using her late father's recipe from the 1970s that has now become an award-winning spirit taking the cocktail world by storm.
As we sample White Russians and espresso martinis made with Lebowski's Cool Lua, Monica and David reveal the incredible versatility of their spirit through creative concoctions like a limoncello White Russian that tastes like German chocolate cake. Their passion for crafting unique, high-quality experiences extends to their tap room, where they showcase local producers and have developed over 50 different White Russian variations.
Rapidly expanding distribution throughout the country, Lebowski's Kool-Luah represents the perfect blend of family tradition, craftsmanship, and innovation. Are you ready to abide a truly exceptional coffee liqueur?

Andy, Josh, and Rob join Matt for a riotous episode, as we play a trivia game that tests our ability to identify fabricated names among genuine, albeit ridiculous, real-world counterparts. Get ready for the inappropriateness!
The game comes with high stakes – each incorrect answer means spinning our shot spinner to determine our fate. With tequila, bourbon, vodka, and the infamous Malört lurking among the options, strategic gameplay becomes crucial as points dwindle and shot glasses empty.
From athletes with unfortunate names like "Fair Hooker" and "Harry Colon" to craft beers including "Nutsack Brown Ale" and "Sexual Chocolate Imperial Stout," we explore the bizarre reality that truth is often stranger than fiction. The As Seen on TV product round reveals equally absurd genuine items – including a golf club with a hidden feature.

Rob's dramatic reaction to Malört alone is worth the price of admission, as he desperately reaches for anything to cleanse his palate after declaring it "worse than the tuna taco" from Drinkables!
Subscribe now to catch our upcoming episodes featuring Harry Potter trivia, and a stout tasting with guest "The Fish." Share your favorite moments with us on social media @MattAndFriendsDTU!
