EPISODE 18: We were all waiting for two things on December 14th... a Win and News about Pellegrini.  We got a great win, but has the board started fishing for a manager to replace Gandolph the Gormless? Is Adam a flip flopper and has Wayne lost it completely? In today's episode we review the match in What Was That and then give you a helping of Social Shenanigans with posts from @Michailantonio and @SKirky7, as well as Going Full West Ham by @jackgambardella.  Then it's onto Penalty ShotOut with a decidedly dodgy shot at the end of it.  Hosted this week by Podcast Fan and Gooner @Vinjenius. Hear how Adam nearly crushed a 13 year old hahahahaha!

EPISODE 17: I know you need cheering up the same as us! So we dug deep, put in a few calls, and collected on a favor to get you this week's episode.  A "double portion" of What Was That includes reviews of both the Wolves and Arsenal matches.  The Arsenal What Was That, includes a slightly inebriated Adam who makes a confession!  Social Shenanigans follow and then on to a brand new segment called...

EPISODE 16: This episode is a bumper length and will be great on the way to and back from where you are going. It was a ton of fun to record and we hope you laugh as much as we did!  It was great beating Chelsea and David Martin was our "Man of the Match!"  After reveling in the victory we do a little "Social Shenanigans" with some great posts from our listeners among others.  Pie and MashUp has a distinctly "Blue" tint to it as we go through some celebratory chants to get under Chelsea's skin.  We complete the perfect day with a "Penalty ShotOut hosted by American Hammers TV OG, Tim Melican.  Celebrate with us on this episode and remember what a great day it was!!

View Details

Episode 15: These days it gets more challenging to be positive, but drinking copious amounts of alcohol certainly helps.  What made these two bury the hatchet... and not in each other?  Find out in the opening minutes and then enjoy Wayne and Adam's mood swings between elated and depressed.  Has Adam turned to #PellegriniOut yet? in What Was That, the lads discuss the Spud's match, managers and players.  Followed by some great Social Shenanigans, Would You Rather, and a Pie and Mashup for the history books. Quite frankly... the Lads are delirious in this episode... utterly cuckoo!!!

Apologies for the less than stellar audio quality on this episode. We had some audio issues with one of the hosts' microphones, and were not aware until post production editing occurred. Our decision was to post the episode so you, our listeners, would still be able to enjoy the banter and fun that you are used to getting every Wednesday. We have resolved this issue so as not to happen again in the future. Thank you for understanding and listening to WEST HAM IS WHY WE DRINK podcast.

Show 5:   Last week we went live on YouTube, thanks to American Hammers TV. For podcast purists we have provided this Audio Only version with an added Aston Villa vs West Ham review and preview of the Manchester United match!

In today's episode we start out with some Social Shenanigans, Review and Preview, then go into the history of our world famous anthem, "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" in our newly named song segment. Wayne and James face off in Penalty ShotOut as Adam attempts his revenge.  Stick around to the end of the episode as Wayne and Adam drink the vodka and Tiger Sauce shot for their Penalty ShotOut punishment. All this and a few laughs along the way!
