Bob and Brad step into a glass case of emotion for this week's review of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, the 2004 absurdist comedy that made Will Ferrell a household name. Does it hold up 20 years later?
Then, the guys shift gears from Baxter and jazz flute to the whiskey of the week: Benchmark Old No. 8, a bottom-shelf bourbon that surprises in more ways than one. Can a budget bottle deliver real flavor, or is it destined for mixing duty only?
It’s a week full of polyester suits, ego-fueled newscasts, and a bourbon that costs less than your movie ticket.
Stay classy, listeners.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
