Episode 23 – Who Is Right Anyway? And When Legends Leave Us
In this episode of Two Guys on a Porch, Jason and Bradford debate who’s “right” as they sample partially blind pours of Jim Beam Black Extra Aged, Old Dominick Bottled in Bond, and Benchmark Bonded—three household name bourbons ranging from $18 to $35.
They don’t know which pour is which as they sip and guess—then make their final calls at the end. Are they becoming accessible bourbon experts… or just lucky guessers? Stay tuned to the end to find out.
They also explore a different kind of life moment—the one that comes when public figures pass away. From George Foreman and Gene Hackman to George H.W. Bush, these deaths stir something personal. It’s not the deep grief of losing a loved one—it’s the quiet, nostalgic ache of realizing we’re losing pieces of our own past. Song memories surface and spark Jason’s reflections on med school, residency, and exam challenges. So… who did start the fire?
Speaking of fire: paired with bold Don Pepin cigars from My Father, this conversation smokes slow and steady—filled with insight, storytelling, and a toast to the ghosts of glory. Special thanks to My Father for the fellowship sticks!
The guys also unpack how actors, musicians, presidents, and athletes become the soundtrack of our lives. Each death doesn’t just mark the end of their story—it replays a chapter of ours. From political legacies to the songs and screen legends that shaped our youth, they wrestle with how memory fades and meaning lingers.
