On this week's Retrospectical, we talk about drones, aka unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's). We were joined by our buddy Mike Mocerino, who knows far more about the subject than we do.
We discussed what a drone is, a few different types of drones, regulations on drones, using them in the military, what's available for hobbyists and what's to come in the future for UAV's.

Welcome to the TV Soup podcast, the home of drinkfive.com’s television review series. This episode continues our discussion on the Breaking Bad spin-off prequel series Better Call Saul starring Bob Odenkirk. The fifth episode of the season breaks the naming convention (they wanted it to be Jello - spoilers!). Be sure to check out the companion article to the fifth episode of the season, "Alpine Shepherd Boy"
Our plan is to review every episode of whatever series we are currently watching (unless they end up being too horrible for either of us to handle, in which case we have no problem panning the show and changing it up!) both on the podcast and also in more traditional, long-form articles. Please follow along with us as we begin our journey into Better Call Saul and thus into the mind of Jimmy McGill / Saul Goodman.

On this week's Retrospectical, we return to a very familiar topic. The NFL is something that is very near and dear to both of us, as indicated by our ability to endlessly jabber about fantasy football. This show, however, has no fantasy football!
We go over some current and long standing NFL topics, including the Combine, teams relocating to LA, concussions, punishments and the commissioner and finally, rules changes. We'll continue to track all kinds of topics within the NFL, and expect some more fantasy football talk by the time the draft comes around.

Welcome to the TV Soup podcast, the home of drinkfive.com’s television review series. This episode continues our discussion on the Breaking Bad spin-off prequel series Better Call Saul starring Bob Odenkirk. The third episode of the season is a doozy, bringing us just a little bit closer to Saul Goodman. Be sure to check out the companion article to the third episode of the season, "Nacho."

Sometimes it's nice to sit down and chat about a common interest. Jason and I hope to continue to bring you these sorts of topics that we are both passionate about and we think this episode is a good example of just that. It's truly amazing what you can learn about a person by digging a little beneath the surface, and Douglas Adams has so much more to him than just being the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which is not to belittle that particular accomplishment, certainly).
From his involvement in Monty Python's Flying Circus, to penning episodes of Doctor Who, to going on a crusade to help save several endangered species all across the world Douglas Adams has left a deep and lasting impression in the hearts and minds of many. His footprints across literature, television, radio and science & technology in general will last for years to come.

Welcome to the Retrospectical podcast, the home of drinkfive.com’s more ambitious podcasts. This episode is about the history of TV and how we interact with it on a regular basis. We also touched on how it changed us as a society in general. Be sure to check out the companion article, Evolution of TV: How Television has Changed America.
As usual, we also enjoyed a few beverages while doing the show. This week was special as it’s the first episode of the new season, so we decided to bust out a special beer, Bell’s Hopslam. Hopslam is a double IPA that is a very limited seasonal, so get out to the store now and hope they haven’t already sold out of it!

12/23/14, Week 17 - Fantasy Wrap-up, QB/RB/WR vs. ADP
Welcome to the last show of 2014. It's been a hell of a year and a fun one as well. Tonight, we enjoyed Hopalicious from Ale Asylum, a brewery out of Madison, WI. It is, of course, an IPA (American IPA) to be exact. While it's not my favorite IPA, I'd definitely get another 6 sometime.
Tonight we broke down the results for the comparisons of top 10 ADP and top 10 points finishers. We looked at the results every four weeks this year in order to track the progress and try and formulate a better draft strategy for next year. We came to some interesting conclusions and will post more of our research in the offseason. Until then, please enjoy the NFL playoffs and keep track of us on the website and follow us on twitter @drinkfive.

12/16/14, December 16 - Fantasy Championship Week, It's All Good
It’s championship week! Get HYPED! I’m talking the Mountain vs the Red Viper hyped. Hopefully your game has a happier ending though. This week Dave and I broke down some fun stories from across the NFL (staying mercifully away from Johnny Manziel). We hit Dave’s waiver wire picks, discussing the need for a handcuff to Demarco Murray due to his hand surgery this past Monday. (As of this posting, he has been practicing and is expected to play).
We also went over the trends that we looked at last week and predicted the track of new ones. We said Andrew Luck would stay up, Emmanuel Sanders will bounce back and put up points, Odell Beckham Jr. will continue his incredible production and should at least reach his season average of 15 pts against the Rams and finally, we picked Jeremy Hill as a candidate to stay hot, over Giovani Bernard.
Finally, we took a look at all of our season long bets. It’s time, or almost time, to pay up on most of them and the rest will have an exciting finish in store for them. Be sure to check back next week when we recap the fantasy season.
Make sure to join us next week, live at 9pm CST on blogtalk radio (blogtalkradio.com/drinkfive). Feel free to send us your questions and we'll answer them on the podcast! Ask us on our Facebook page, follow us on twitter (@drinkfive), or send us an e-mail to
Fantasy Football Podcast
The Fantasy Finish Line Podcast has been chugging along for a few years now, still operating with its original hosts - David Biggs and Jason Evans. This 45-60 minute weekly program airs leading up to and during the NFL regular season (when fantasy happens) with some special broadcasts throughout the year. Whether you need to dish on draft strategy before the season starts or just need some advice on who to pick up from the waiver wire, our fantasy football show will help you through the tough times and onto the trophy!
Retrospectical Podcast
The Universe is huge and we are small. Not much we can do about that. What we can do, however, is to try to make sense of all the things around us. Too many things are just taken for granted when instead we should be searching for deeper understanding and meaning. Or not. Either way, it is the goal of the Retrospectical Podcast to shed some light on topics that have more under the surface than you may be aware of. From the history and evolution of television to drones and alternative currencies, we'll explore a wide-range of topics and surely get off on some wacky tangents but ultimately be better off for it. That's the idea, anyway!
TV Soup Podcast
The hosts of the TV Soup Podcast, Jason Evans and David Biggs, have both long been immersed in media and technology but their hopeless addiction to modern television series has been a somewhat recent development. With the advent of shows like Dexter, Breaking Bad, Sherlock and Game of Thrones, television has grown up quickly to the point where we would now rather be blowing through TV series than going out to a movie in most cases! We'll be jumping from one series to another, doing reviews and providing weekly commentary along the way on this 30-minute weekly broadcast.
