    <description>Welcome to Absinthe Fathers, the podcast where Kyle and Andy sip through conversations about anything, everything and all the weirdness in between. Join two friends — and occasional guests — as they navigate life, fatherhood, pop culture, questionable choices and the constant quest to avoid becoming bad dads. Pour yourself a drink, pull up a chair and get ready to laugh, learn and shake your head in mild disbelief. Remember, parenting advice here is purely accidental.</description>

From wedding speeches gone off the rails (including a fake ChatGPT-written bit) to ring talk, tattoos, roasts that never happened, and a few surprises at the reception, Andy and Kyle break down the chaos and comedy of the big day. Plus: Jordan passes out, Cameron stirs drama with the wedding coordinator, and the guys debate who would win a hot dog sprint—Usain Bolt or Joey Chestnut.

        <![CDATA[<p>What do Tom Hanks, Paul Walker, Will Smith and Adam Driver have in common? They all come up in this wildly unfiltered episode of <em>Absinthe Fathers</em>. Andy, Kyle and special guest Ashlee dive into their most surprising celebrity crushes (male and female), play the world's most chaotic word association game and somehow end up debating South Park, Trump's AI wiener, low testosterone, Ron Jeremy and Oklahoma’s rank in education.</p><p><br>Along the way, we swap embarrassing stories, talk about Ashley's shift from music to teaching journalism, and unravel what makes certain celebrities so magnetic — even if they're problematic. It's part nostalgia trip, part drunken philosophy and part therapy session fueled by bad absinthe and worse decisions.</p><p><br>Grab a drink (preferably not with a bug in it), and hang out with us as we celebrate Andy's birthday, roast each other's taste in crushes and prove once again that <em>Absinthe Fathers</em> will talk about literally anything.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>It’s official: Andy’s 40, Kyle’s still not, and the Absinthe Fathers are celebrating with a pint of Guinness (straight from Dublin) and a healthy dose of existential dread. This episode is a chaotic mix of midlife reflections, Irish travel stories, Guinness appreciation, climbing an un-climbable mountain, awkward run-ins with locals, and a deep dive into “Lost” theories.</p><p><br>We also detour into GoldenEye fights, project car disasters, pandemic nostalgia and a conspiracy-laced round of “This is America.” It’s absurd, it’s sincere, it’s full of random tangents — exactly what you came here for.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this absolutely unhinged episode of <em>Absinthe Fathers</em>, Andy and Kyle welcome their very first guest — Michael, the mysterious friend who shows up and shows out.

Andy and Kyle dive headfirst into the absurd and relatable, starting with their questionable choice of "apocalypse liquor" — a truly vile bottle of absinthe saved for the end times. From Kyle’s retired rap career to the personal life of their friend Cameron, no topic is off-limits. They explore the unspoken bond forged when both father and son share the humbling experience of sharting, contemplate suing a "B-tier local magazine" for stealing their work and ponder the mysteries of lawn obsession, parenting mishaps and cowboy boots. Tune in for chaotic storytelling, niche humor and conversations you'd never dare have with your own dad.</p>]]>
