Everybody has been asking the "Identity" question, but the answer has been hiding in plain sight for months. On today's Episode 631 of The Valley Verdict, we react to the conversation between Burns & Gambo and Royce O'Neale, Bickley & Marotta's "Redemption" narrative, and we bring back our weekend prop segment with an official title.In this episode:5:05 - The Royce O'Neale Reaction: We break down the 6:15 mark of the conversation between Burns & Gambo and Royce O'Neale. Royce discusses what makes this year's identity different, but I'm pulling the "Missing Receipt" from Devin Booker's exit interview that the mainstream media completely overlooked. I've been standing on the table about this quote for months—it's the blueprint for everything we're seeing now.22:42 - The Redemption Season: Reacting to Bickley and Marotta's take from this morning. Is this truly a redemption year for Devin Booker and the Suns? We analyze the shift from "just basketball" to a defined, gritty structure under Jordan Ott.33:45 - The Weekend Verdict: We give an official name to a segment we've touched on before. I'm laying out our picks for the Suns' weekend slate (Friday & Sunday) and ASU's massive home game against Cincinnati. From Jalen Green's stat-sheet stuffing to Book's Sunday masterpiece, the tickets are in for the weekend.The Verdict: Is the Suns' current success a surprise, or is it exactly what Devin Booker demanded in that exit interview months ago?

The Jim Beam Distillery recently made news when they announced they would cease distilling operations for one year at their main campus in Clermont, KY to make long overdue improvements to the distillery. While this headline certainly captivated folks near and far, Beam puts out a lot of product and someone needs to review it. That's where we come in. This week, we review two limited edition releases from Jim Beam: Little Book Infinite Edition II & Booker's The Reserves 2025 edition. These two premium offerings are relatively new from Beam and we liked what we tasted last year. How will the newest releases of these whiskeys compare to last year? You'll have to listen to find out.

Send us a textWe lay out a practical plan for managing a growing bourbon collection, from storage and oxidation to what to revisit and what to finish.

Leave good feedback and those five-star reviews. Join Patreon. Remember, drink responsibly. Don't drink and drive. Live your life uncut and unfiltered.Ever stare at a wall of whiskey and think, “I've got nothing to pour”? We've been there. This episode is a practical guide for collectors who want less overwhelm and more great glasses. We map out how to manage a growing bourbon stash, why certain bottles bloom after months, and the storage choices that keep open pours tasting their best.We start with the real reasons bottles get forgotten—new release chasing, seasonal pours, special-occasion hoarding—and how oxidation can be your friend. You'll learn why weeded bourbons often soften into caramel and vanilla, how high-rye mash bills can bring spice and hangover risk, and why the rickhouse aroma is a north star for what bourbon should smell like. Then we get hands-on: upright storage, cool and dark placement, and the “quarter-bottle rule” for finishing low-fills before they fade. We also share easy strategies to reduce inventory without regret: monthly rotations, revisit shelves, bottle shares, trades, and gifting bottles you don't reach for.To prove how time matters, we revisit Booker's Kentucky Tea 2023-03 at barrel strength and score it live. The nose opens to vanilla bean and light florals when you nose high in the glass. The body is thick and coating, the palate leans vanilla-cherry cola, and the finish runs long and sweet with oak. A few drops of water shift it toward wood and balance the heat—an object lesson in proofing to taste. Along the way, we swap stories about vintage finds, shelf-space offenders, and the difference between shelf trophies and true drinkers.If your bar looks like a rickhouse, this is your nudge to make it work for you. Drink what you love, share more, hoard less, and revisit before you replace.

Senator Cory Booker sits down with Marc Elias to discuss the real and growing threats to American democracy. Booker explains why economic insecurity, extreme inequality, and normalized corruption are not just policy failures but existential dangers to democratic stability. He warns that rising costs, collapsing trust in institutions, authoritarian abuses of power, and the politics of cruelty are driving cynicism and disengagement—and creating fertile ground for democratic backsliding. Rather than focusing only on stopping Donald Trump, Booker argues that democracy can only be saved by restoring trust, redeeming the American promise, and offering a bold, forward-looking moral vision that gives people something worth fighting for, not just something to fight against.

Sir Salman Rushdie is a writer who has written over 20 books, seven of which have been nominated for the Booker Prize. In 1981 he won with his novel Midnight's Children which also topped the polls for the 25th and 40th anniversaries of the prize, making it the most lauded novel in Booker history.He was born in Bombay in 1947 and educated at Rugby School in Warwickshire. After studying history at the University of Cambridge he worked as a copywriter at various advertising agencies before publishing his first novel Grimus in 1975. His breakthrough came with Midnight's Children and he was one of 20 writers named on Granta magazine's inaugural list of Best Young British novelists alongside writers including Martin Amis and AN Wilson.He attracted considerable controversy with his fourth novel the Satanic Verses which won the Whitbread Award and was shortlisted for the Booker. Some Muslims considered the subject matter blasphemous and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for the death of Salman and the publishers of the book. Salman spent the following decade in hiding under police protection.In 2022 he was stabbed multiple times while on stage at the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York. He had been invited there to talk about keeping writers safe from harm. He survived devasting injuries – including the loss of his right eye – and wrote about the attack and its aftermath in his memoir Knife.That same year he was awarded a Companion of Honour for services to literature.Salman is married to the poet and novelist Rachel Eliza Griffiths and they live in New York. He has two grown up sons and two grandchildren.DISC ONE: Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed DISC TWO: Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan - Mohammed Rafi and Geeta Dutt DISC THREE: Blowin' in the Wind - Bob Dylan DISC FOUR: (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones DISC FIVE: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) - Whitney Houston DISC SIX: Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Paul Simon DISC SEVEN: Isn't She Lovely – Stevie Wonder DISC EIGHT: For the Love of You, Pts. 1 & 2 - The Isley Brothers BOOK CHOICE: Homer's Odyssey (Translated by Emily Wilson) LUXURY ITEM: A bed with a mosquito net CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: For the Love of You, Pts. 1 & 2 - The Isley Brothers Presenter Lauren Laverne Producer Paula McGinley
