Hour 1 Joe Biden's cancer COULD have been covered up. Ryfun was ready to dismiss that as so much conspiracy talk when he learned that the Bidens had gone to great lengths before to cover up another Biden's cancer. Tales from Jury Duty! Leggett v Lanier Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA
Hour 2 Ryfun has big plans for his $30 check from his day at jury duty. Ryfun creeps on public readers. He did it during jury duty and found a big McIntosh connection as a result. Tony from Brooklyn explains why Biden's lies are insignificant vs Trump's lies. The Savannah City Council Fight. Leggett lawyers up. They call Trump a liar every time his figures aren't to the penny. Trump clearly wasn't trying to enrich himself the first time he was in office. Why would he come back to do it again after losing 300 million dollars? The difference between Don Jr. and Hunter. Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA
Hour 3 Savannah Alderman Leggett lawyers up against Alderman Lanier. Jury duty excuses. Biden walkbacks. The homelessness problem is much more recent than the de-institutionalization problem.

Hour 4 What was Ryfun's jury number? Well, he had three, so...Examining why he was struck. Hilton Head's housing crisis?? Identifying the paddleboard fatality. Ryfun's Nextdoor battle that he wasn't even involved in. Who to blame for your behavior, based on Tony's call earlier. Democrats will vote for a dead Democrat. They covered for Biden and if he'd won they would still be covering for him. The defendant in the criminal case Ryfun was up for reminded him of John David Stutts. The asylums and homelessness. Is there a link? Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA
Episode OverviewAt ADI's 21st Craft Spirits Conference in Baltimore, host Ronnell Richards sits down with Crystal Rivera — co‑founder of Puerto Rico Distillery (PRD) — to explore how a father‑daughter team turned cultural tradition into Maryland's first dedicated pitorro distillery. From launching in March 2020 (the week COVID shut the world down) to expanding into a 12,000‑sq‑ft facility this year, Crystal explains why preserving island heritage, supporting local growers, and bootstrapping with family grit created a grassroots success story.What Exactly Is Pitorro?Puerto Rico's centuries‑old “moonshine” rum: high‑proof, cane‑based, and traditionally infused with fruits, spices, or coffee.How PRD balances legality, authenticity, and modern craft‑distilling standards.Bootstrapping Through a PandemicSelling their own homes to self‑fund the distillery, then pivoting to hand‑sanitizer production and doorstep deliveries during 2020 lockdowns.Slow‑and‑steady growth: year 1 flavor R&D, year 2 restaurant/bar placements, year 3 statewide self‑distribution.Family, Culture & ResponsibilityLearning blending techniques from her father Ángel and the island's underground maestros.Representing Puerto Rican diaspora pride in every bottle and ensuring first‑sip “legitimacy” for seasoned pitorro drinkers.New 12,000‑Sq‑Ft Facility in 2025Moving from a 2,000‑sq‑ft Frederick space to a six‑times‑larger building in Brunswick, MD—expanding production, events, and barrel programs.Advice for Aspiring Distillers“Build the ladder while you climb.” Do the research, but don't over‑analyze—some lessons only surface once you're in motion.Surround yourself with mentors and suppliers (ADI is a prime network).On Cultural Authenticity:“One taste and you know if it's real pitorro.

Hour 1 Change the Supreme Court so that the nominees have to be able to perform magic tricks. People who sit on Facebook and just ask everyone else to educate them drive Ryfun nuts!

I'm only here for one hour today because of Jury Duty. Here's what we talk about today: -Biden's cancer diagnosis means we'll pray for him., but we won't stop talking about the White House coverup of his cognitive decline. -Georgia Southern graduation and AI voices. -The GI Isles Air Show was a hit on Saturday, not so much on Sunday. -Woman dies on HHI Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA
I saw a wonderful band called FERLA on Saturday night with some friends. The lead singer was bald with his hair completely gone up top, but at the back where it still grew he'd let it go out into a mullet! Awesome. His voice reminded me of the singer from that band Future Islands who did the incredible spot on Letterman like ten years ago. Then on Sunday morning I went to an 11am performance of Chopin's Piano Sonata no. 2 and a few pieces by Ravel, at Tempo Rubato in Brunswick. That was also a magical performance and has had me humming the Funeral March from the Chopin Sonata all week. I had a great show in Bendigo on Thursday, and have another one coming up in Brisbane this weekend!
