Ep 132: Talking Greenlights and Turkey with Matthew McConaughey

We follow up last weeks great discussion with the Bourbon Junkies with the ineffable Matthew McConaughey. We talk about his new memoir, Greenlights. We discuss family, marriage, raising kids and embarrassing ourselves in front of other celebrities.

We of course talk about Wild Turkey and I pitch to him a couple ideas that Todd Grube and I came up with. Todd rendered a few graphics for our pitch and you know what.... I think you'd be surprised at his response.

Matthew was an interesting discussion and his book can be found everywhere books are sold.

Ep 127 The Jim Murray Vulgarity. A Conversation on Sexism in Whiskey

As we come to an end in our first ever Pappy Hunt, we reflect on the last few weeks and after the most recent news of the Bars in Texas STILL on lockdown, we wonder if there is light at the end of this tunnel. 

This past week a firestorm broke out over Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible. His reviews are under fire with accusations of sexism and lewd vocabulary.

Many on social media defending his as not being sexist but just cringe worthy. 
Either way this issue hint at a deeper issue within the industry and today we are joined by three women to discuss sexism and misogyny within the whiskey world and how to move forward. 

What are some of the ways the industry can show  and attract a larger female audience without pandering to stereotypes. 

Blair and Janet from the Whiskey Women Podcast and Dusti Rhodes joins me for a chat on the subject over a few drinks.

A good time was had by all.

Ep 125 Antony Starr talks "The Boys" Season 2

The Boys on Amazon Prime blew away all expectations and largely because of the complicated and pragmatic psychopath that is Homelander.

This week I sit down with Antony Starr for a few drinks and a pour from his birthday bottle, a 1975 IW HARPER.
We talk the insanely perfect show that was Banshee and of course dive deep into season 2 of The Boys and how it has RAILROADED him to a massive and obsessive fandom. 

Antony is a great guy and if I have learned to GAUGE anything is surely on the right TRACK to stardom.

This week we see the return of Ingenious founder, Justin Gyorfi. 

We talk about the wild ride Ingenious has been through over the last couple of years as arguably Texas's most adventurous brewery. 

Let me be clear, there are plenty of progressive, ground breaking breweries in Houston but no one, I repeat, no one is thinking outside the box like Ingenious.

For better or worse, no one is having more fun and to be honest... I love it. I love the mindset. I love the motivation. I love the journey.
