This week… we're bringin' home the bacon — literally. That’s right, we’re diving deep into the crispy, greasy, glorious world of bacon. From breakfast MVP to burger backup dancer, bacon is the only food that doesn’t just join a dish — it saves it.  

We'll also be enjoying the Room 101 Doomsayer — a cigar so bold it could talk trash to your in-laws — and sip the Andalusia Revenant Oak Peated Whisky. It’s smoky, it’s mysterious, and ...

This week, we boldly go where no dram has gone before! 🖖 Join us as we fire up a La Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970, pour a generous glass of Aberfeldy 12—the Golden Dram worthy of a Starfleet toast—and dive warp-speed into the highs, lows, and space whales of the Star Trek: The Original Series films.

From V’Ger’s existential crisis in The Motion Picture, to the wrath of Khan's epic mullet, to humpback whales and Spock’s resurrectio...

So light up, pour a dram, and let’s take a sweet trip down memory lane that’s anything but sugar-free.   We'll also be enjoying the Willet Pot Sill Reserve bourbon ...

Hear ye, hear ye, brave listeners and scoundrels alike! Gather ‘round the digital hearth as we embark upon a most noble quest—where the mead flows like whisky, the turkey legs are mightier than the sword, and corsets defy both gravity and common sense!

That’s right - we’re diving headfirst into the chain-mailed, bodice-laced, leather-booted world of Renaissance Faires! We’re talking the good, the geeky, and the gloriously weird. Al...

This week we're taking a hard look at those beloved TV shows from our childhood… that, well, maybe should’ve stayed in the past. You know the ones—those shows we swore were legendary, only to rewatch as adults and realize… yikes. Whether it’s the cringe-worthy special effects, the questionable jokes, or the acting that makes a soap opera look like Shakespeare, some of our favorites just don’t hold up. While we're lamenting, we'll b...

This week, we’re lighting up the Statement by Rojas cigar, sipping on some smooth Statesman Bourbon, and diving deep into the world of high-class spies with the Kingsman movies — and of course, throwing in a bit of the "other" guys in for good measure. So, pour yourself a glass,  light up your favorite stick, and join us in the conversation. "Manners maketh man,"  after all, but a good cigar and bourbon maketh the conversation even...
