Rupert Lowe exposes the horrifying scale of Britain's grooming gangs in this hard-hitting interview with Patrick Bet-David. One victim, aged just 12, described being raped with a broken Jack Daniels bottle. Another was locked in dog cages and trafficked to Saudi Arabia. A third was raped by a dog while men filmed and laughed. The report reveals up to 250,000 victims, predominantly young white girls from care homes, groomed, trafficked, and repeatedly raped, mostly by Pakistani Muslim men.
In this episode, Ania and Roy chat about the 2026 World Cup (Mundial) — even though neither Ireland nor Poland qualified! They discuss football fandom, favourite players, predictions for who might win, and the unique three-country hosting arrangement between the USA, Mexico and Canada. A fun, casual conversation packed with sports and everyday Polish vocabulary.
Chad's got two big stops coming up, and he's fired up about both of them. First up is Texas for an Axis deer hunt during the rut with Jason Vanderbrink, CEO of the Kinetic Group. Benelli Lupo, Federal Premium Ammunition. Hayes Carl at Green Hall in New Braunfels. Dinner with Ted Nugent and Shemaine at the Nugent compound in Waco. And something personal he's keeping close to the heart. Then it's Nashville for the Freedom Hunters Nashville Classic, June 21st and 22nd. Sunday night at the Nashville Palace with Barrett Hobbs and Hobbs Hospitality! From the food and drinks, to the live auctions, silent auctions, speakers, four-star generals and admirals in the room, and live music headlined by Leith Lofton. Monday morning at the Hermitage Golf Club. Sunbelt Rentals is the title sponsor. Jack Daniel's is the official whiskey, and he wants YOU there! Chad's been involved with Freedom Hunters for over a decade. He's seen firsthand what getting veterans and active duty military back outdoors does for them. This event raises the money to keep those trips going. Tables of 10, VIP seating, and single tickets available. Go to freedomhunters.org. Season 18 of Benelli's The Fowl Life premieres on the Outdoor Channel in July. Season 19 starts filming in September. A lot of good things are coming, and we're glad you're here!

You ask AI what’s the best brand of supplement, how to handle a tricky conversation, or whether to take the job. But what about your own inner wisdom? When was the last time you paused and asked yourself first? I’m not picking on AI or telling you not to use it. However, it’s important to tune into your inner wisdom, so it doesn’t slip into the background from lack of use. It’s like use it or lose it baby. Why We’re Outsourcing More Decisions Than Ever People have always looked outside themselves for guidance to experts, religious leaders, therapists, coaches, and even psychics, and astrologers. That’s nothing new. But AI has changed the speed of that outsourcing dramatically. Author, entrepreneur, and podcast host Tim Ferriss recently shared a transparent peak into his business. His book sales dropped over 40% in 2025 and a jaw-dropping 50% again so far in 2026. His explanation? People are skipping how-to books and long- form YouTube videos in favor of instant AI answers. This isn’t just a publishing problem. It’s a signal. We are increasingly moving away from anything that takes time. For decades we’ve had drive-through coffee, apps for finding love, and now there’s telehealth calls. But what are we missing when we skip just sitting with something and taking our time with it? Are we handing over big life decisions to something that compiles other people’s experiences rather than relying on your own? The Hidden Cost of Decision Fatigue Research suggests the average adult makes 35,000 decisions every single day. Just ordering a coffee involves cup size, hot or cold, caffeine, sweetener, milk type, and flavorings. No wonder we’re exhausted! Decision fatigue is real, and that overload pushes many of us to skip the natural process of seeking inner guidance, especially for big issues. When you’re depleted, it makes sense to look for something to ease the burden. AI is right there, fast and seemingly limitless. But that speed has a cost in terms of trusting yourself and your own inner knowing. Information and Inner Wisdom Are Not the Same This is the heart of the matter. Information is fast, external, and tells you what other people know. AI gather this information and can deliver it in seconds. On the other hand, inner wisdom is personal, earned through your lived experience, and requires time, awareness, and reflection to emerge. That is something AI will NEVER provide. For thousands of years, wisdom required effort. People took on apprenticeships, learned religious or spiritual practices, spent time in self-reflection, experienced trial and error and these paths often took years. But today, information arrives instantly. The question is are you trading the slow accumulation of wisdom for the quick hit of information? And what might you have lost as a result? 4 Things AI Cannot Do For You AI is a genuinely powerful tool for brainstorming, research, and saving time. But there are things it simply cannot tell you: Which opportunity feels right for your life Whether a relationship is for your highest good What your soul is nudging you toward What you truly want in your heart of hearts The danger isn’t that AI will replace your intuition. The danger is that you’ll skip it even after gathering information to make your final decision. This will eventually erode trust in yourself over time. A Personal Story About Self-Trust At the end of my corporate career, I took a layoff package instead of taking a position in another division of General Foods. That place was draining me of my life force. In fact, I had a recurring dream that ended one night with coming home from a business trip to find my apartment emptied out. The only thing remaining was a burned-out neon clock that had stopped working. This same clock was in my real life office. Finally, I understood I was burned out, time was up, and so I walked away. Leaving with a seven-month package, I had no plan except talking to vendors, peers, and marketing executives. I had my astrology chart done and read What Color Is Your Parachute? which was a popular self-help book on finding work you love. None of it told me what would come next. Looking back, what I find interesting is that I didn’t discover my next chapter because I found the answer. My future unfolded because I gave it room to emerge. Within six months, former colleagues started calling asking for freelance help. That became a twelve-year career freelancing for big marketing agencies with brands like AT&T, Chase Bank, and Jack Daniels. The work was on my own terms, often just four days a week. My father joked with his friends that I was semi-retired because of that schedule. That’s the difference between information and wisdom. Information shows us possibilities. Wisdom helps you recognize which possibility is right for you. And the more you connect with your intuition, the more you trust yourself because of it. Midlife Wisdom Is Powerful By midlife, you have decades of experience. You’ve survived heartbreaks, celebrated successes, made mistakes, and recognized patterns. You’ve honed your intuition through living, day by day and have built trust in yourself. Yet, most women seriously underestimate how important and valuable that truly is. I worked with a 61-year-old client who had been job hunting for a year. Convinced that ageism was closing every door, her beliefs were crowding out the value of her own qualifications and experience. After the first session working on shifting those beliefs, she recognized how much she’d been doubting herself. She chose to stop focusing on what others thought of her and rely on her own earned wisdom. Seven days later she had three interviews. Within two months she landed exactly the job she wanted. It wasn’t her circumstances that changed, but her relationship to her own inner wisdom. How to Use Both AI and Your Inner Wisdom You don’t have to choose between AI and intuition. Use them based on what each one does best: Use AI to gather information Use your mind to analyze the possibilities Use your heart to understand what things mean Use your intuition for personalized guidance of the highest nature Over the next few weeks, when something comes up, consider turning inward first. You may already know your next step. But even if you tune in after you gather information, that slowing down will help you know what is for your highest good. Key Takeaways AI provides information; only you can access your inner wisdom Decision fatigue makes it tempting to outsource even deeply personal decisions Your accumulated life experience is a resource no tool can replicate Slowing down creates the space for wisdom to emerge Trusting yourself is a practice that builds over time Frequently Asked Questions – Inner Wisdom Vs. AI What is inner wisdom and how is it different from information? Inner wisdom is the personal knowing that comes from lived experience, reflection, and self-awareness. Information is external knowledge that can be quickly retrieved from sources like AI. Wisdom is earned; information is accessed. Can AI help with personal decisions? AI can help you research options, brainstorm possibilities, and organize your thinking. But it cannot tell you what feels right for your specific life, values, or soul path. That discernment comes from within. How do I access my inner wisdom? Start by slowing down. Ask yourself: What do I already know? What feels true to me? What would I do if no one else’s opinion were available? Write down what comes up. Many people find insights arrive in quiet moments — in the shower, on a walk, or during meditation. Why do women in midlife struggle to trust their own inner wisdom? Many spiritually aware women in midlife believe they need one more course, certification, or expert opinion before they can trust themselves. In reality, decades of lived experience have already built a deep well of wisdom — it simply needs to be accessed and trusted. What is the risk of relying too heavily on AI? The risk isn’t that AI will replace your intuition. The risk is that the habit of seeking instant external answers means you stop pausing long enough to hear your own inner guidance at all.

Dave and H taste Jack Daniel's Bonded (released May 2022), compare it to the classic JD No.7, and share tasting notes of dark chocolate, fruit & nut and banana on the nose and palate. They agree this bonded expression drinks nicely neat and highlights the higher proof character. The episode explains the Bottled‑in‑Bond law (1897) and its rules: one distilling season, one distiller, one distillery, a minimum of four years aging in bonded warehousing, and bottling at 100 proof. They discuss historic bonded warehouses and what the designation means for quality and consistency. Dave and H also unpack the Tennessee whiskey distinction — the Lincoln County Process (maple charcoal filtering) — and how it relates to bourbon.
This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief sits down with Cody Stys from The Vaults at The Stanley Hotel, a one-of-a-kind whiskey destination located beneath one of Colorado's most famous historic hotels. The conversation begins with the rich history of the Stanley Hotel, which opened in 1909 and has become a landmark in the Rocky Mountains. The hotel is perhaps best known for inspiring Stephen King's novel The Shining. During a stay at the hotel in the 1970s, King found himself nearly alone in the massive property as it prepared to close for the season. The experience sparked the imagination that would lead to one of the most iconic horror stories ever written. While Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation wasn't filmed at the hotel, the Stanley remains forever connected to The Shining and attracts visitors from around the world who want to experience a piece of literary and cinematic history. Of course, this is The Whiskey Trip, so the guys quickly get down to business by pouring four outstanding single barrels selected by Cody. On the first half of the show, Big Chief and Cody sip on a Root Shoot Distillery Single Barrel and a The Heart Distillery Single Barrel, discussing the unique character of Colorado whiskey and the craftsmanship behind these exceptional picks. The second half features a Laws Four Grain Single Barrel and a Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye, delivering bold flavors, rich complexity, and plenty of conversation about what makes a great barrel selection stand out from the rest. Throughout the episode, Cody shares stories from The Vaults, insights into the barrel-picking process, and how the Stanley Hotel's history and atmosphere create an unforgettable experience for whiskey lovers. From historic hallways and ghost stories to world-class pours and good company, this episode captures everything that makes whiskey culture so special. Pour yourself something good, settle in, and enjoy the ride. Take the Ride with Big Chief.

Chad was side stage Saturday night for Chase Rice. Sunday night it was Dustin Lynch headlining the Drifters Festival, and he owned it from the first song. The audio was dialed in, and Dustin talked to the crowd, told stories, fired them up, and did a Toby Keith tribute that had the whole place going. Chad was there with Brittany, his other friend Brittany, and her husband Brad. They went backstage before the show, stood side stage for the whole set, then got back on the bus after and went out in Reno together. Chad's known Dustin for years. From Talladega, Tennessee, duck camp, hunting stories on the bus. He talks about what makes Dustin different. His humility, the down-to-earth energy, and the fact that he's a hunter and a provider who genuinely gets it. Dustin Lynch is coming to camp this fall. Chad can't wait. This one turns into a full-blown love letter to music — country, outlaw, rock, metal, hip hop, all of it. Chad goes deep on Hayes Carl, Brent Cobb's new album, Whiskey Myers, GNR, Metallica, and old school rap. If you love music the way Chad loves music, this one's for you.

Just three chords and the truth. Or a double-minded genre, unstable in all its ways. One song praises God; the next glorifies drunkenness. One minute it's faith; the next it's fornication. And millions of Christians are singing along to both without blinking an eye. From Ella Langley to Morgan Wallen to Riley Green to Tucker Wetmore, the message is incredibly consistent: get drunk, sleep around, break hearts, ignore conviction—but talk about the big man upstairs. Just sprinkle a little Jesus on top to pull in the nominals and voila… you've got yourself some country music. What we want to get in today is what Eric Church calls, quote, "Country Music Jesus." And does he match the One we find in Scripture?

Chad just got home from side stage at the Drifters Music Festival in Reno, and he had to get on the mic. Chase Rice headlined. Brittany was there. So was Les Nesbitt at 85, Chad's brother Clay, his nephew Chase, and his lab, Jack, who may be the most famous dog in country music. They walked to the stage with Chase, stood side stage for the whole set, and spent over an hour on the bus after. Chad's known Chase for six years. He met him through Jack Daniels in Turkey Camp in Oklahoma. Since then, it's been duck camps in Wisconsin, Kansas, Tennessee, backstage in Nashville, Vegas with Les and Dan Henderson at Steve Aoki the night before a sold-out Kane Brown show at T-Mobile Arena. That night, Chase called Les up from the stage, and 15,000 people sang him happy birthday. This episode is part concert recap, part friendship tribute. Chad runs through the set list, from Walk That Easy, to Bad Day, Key West to Colorado, Circa 1943, Cruise, a Toby Keith tribute with Should Have Been a Cowboy, and Lonely Eyes to close it out. He talks about Chase's evolution from bro country to something much more real: the songwriting, the road life, the hunting, the dogs. Chase Rice just gets it. And Chad loves him for it.

The crew reviews the Jack Daniel's Special Release Small Batch Rye, which consists of five high-proof batches of Tennessee Rye Whiskey sourced from Coy Hill, Boiler Hill, and Fire Brigade Fields barrelhouses. Presented at barrel proof in 375 mL bottles and proof points ranging from 142.7 to 146.1, the special release represents some of the most unparalleled and limited Tennessee Rye Whiskey to emerge from the Lynchburg distillery. A total of 129 Tennessee Rye Whiskey barrels with entry dates spanning 18 months (from February 2016 to August 2017) were matured for an average of 10 years across three barrelhouse groups. The well-known Coy Hill produced two of the five batches while two new locations, Boiler Hill and Fire Brigade Fields are where three additional batches were matured. Forged in the heart of Lynchburg, Coy Hill, Boiler Hill and Fire Brigade Fields showcase three unique landscapes at the Jack Daniel Distillery.
Chad's got a new truck, a new boat, and a lot on his mind. The 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty is built out and beautiful — Avalanche Gray, Bodyguard bumpers, Mickey Thompson tires, Lear topper, the works. Thank you Corning Ford. Now that that's out of the way, Chad goes somewhere unexpected. Black Springs. Growing up poor. Brown bag lunches with cold spaghetti between two pieces of generic wheat bread. Riding bikes until dark. Breakdancing with J.J. and Marcus and Corey on a piece of graffitied cardboard. A nail through the foot. A wood-burning stove. Government cheese. A mom working graveyard shifts at the Veterans Hospital in oncology while going to nursing school and still making it to every game. He talks about what that upbringing gave him. From humility, to discipline, faith, the fear of God, and what it means to be 51 years old, in the best shape of his life, doing exactly what he was put on earth to do. He talks about his dad. Twenty years this August. He's still talking to him. TChad doesn't have it all figured out. He'll be the first to tell you. But he knows where he came from and he's not ashamed of any of it. This Life Ain't For Everybody. This one especially.

Just last year, Jack Daniel's released Tanyard Hill Rye to much acclaim. On the heels of that release, they surprised the entire enthusiast community by releasing five different ryes via their White Rabbit Gift Shop. Each of these special release bottles are 8-10 years old and range in proof from 142.7 to 146.1. These five batches comes from three different Jack Daniel's barrel house locations: Coy Hill, Boiler Hill, and Fire Brigade Fields. A total of 129 barrels were used for this release, and these barrels were laid down between February 2016 and August 2017. First and foremost, we would like to give a shout out to our listener David who graciously provided the samples to make this episode possible. But, how do these bottles taste? We took a long trip with many twists and turns to find out. You won't want to miss our take on these highly limited and coveted releases. If you've tasted them, we want to know what you think.

ADAM HENLEY on A VERY PECULIAR PRACTICE.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on May 24th 2026.This week ADAM HENLEY returns to the show because he has recently been watching a BBC drama series that has been one of my personal favourites for a very long time, and he wanted to talk to me about it.The show in question is called A VERY PECULIAR PRACTICE, featuring darkly bizarre tales of the various machinations, goings on, double-dealings, dustcarts, and nun-related antics occuring on campus at the UNIVERSITY OF LOWLANDS in the mid-to-late 1980s. Written under intriguing circumstances (and with a very deft post-modern touch), by ANDREW DAVIES, and directed in its entirety by DAVID TUCKER, it was a somewhat surreal (and sometimes very black) comedy drama that appeared for one seven-part series of fifty-minute episodes in 1986, followed by another in 1988, and was then resurrected for a one-off Screen One television movie called A VERY POLISH PRACTICE four years later in 1992.The series starred PETER DAVISON as DR STEPHEN DAKER, an idealistic young GP who is looking for a fresh start as he joins a university medical practice at a time of great change in the higher education sector. The health centre is staffed, alongside LINDY WHITEFORD's long-suffering nurse MAUREEN and GILLIAN RAINE's terrifying receptionist MRS KRAMER, by a mis-matched trio of Doctors who include the bisexual ultra-feminist DR ROSE MARIE (played by BARBARA FLYNN), the hyper-ambitious and empathy-free DR ROBERT (BOB) BUZZARD (played by DAVID TROUGHTON), and the decrepit and often sozzled DR JOCK McCANNAN (played by GRAHAM CROWDEN).In the first series DR DAKER becomes romantically involved with a post-graduate police officer, LYN TURTLE (played by AMANDA HILLWOOD – later pathologist GRAYLING RUSSELL alongside INSPECTOR MORSE), and in the second he becomes more deeply involved with the Polish arts lecturer GRETE GROTOWSKA (as played by JOANNA KANSKA).Across the series, the campus is overseen by a pair of scheming VICE CHANCELLORS, ERNEST HEMINGWAY “THE POISON DWARF” of the first run is played by the impeccable JOHN BIRD, and his JFK-channelling replacement JACK DANIELS in the second run is played by MICHAEL J SHANNON.A host of well-known character actors like TIMOTHY WEST, JAMES GROUT, JOE MELIA, FRANCES WHITE, JEAN HEYWOOD, ROBERT LANG, PETER BLAKE, and CLIVE SWIFT feature in guest roles, and the series also contains early performances by soon to be well-known faces such as HUGH GRANT, KATHY BURKE, SIMON RUSSELL BEALE and MARK ADDY.The series also features an excellent (and very earworm-ish) theme song written by DAVE GREENSLADE and performed by ELKIE BROOKS that somehow, despite us having to have a somewhat appropriate two attempts at recording this particular show, ADAM and I almost unforgivably fail to mention.For me, A VERY PECULIAR PRACTICE is truly one of the great drama series of the 1980s and is well worth seeking out if you are a fan of well-written and clever television drama, and I do hope you'll be tempted to track it down once you've listen to what I hope is an entertaining hour that might help to persuade you.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition.

This Day in Legal History: Truman DoctrineOn May 22, 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed legislation authorizing American aid to Greece and Turkey, giving legal force to what became known as the Truman Doctrine. The law provided economic and military assistance to both countries at a moment when U.S. leaders feared that instability in the eastern Mediterranean could expand Soviet influence. Greece was in the middle of a civil war, while Turkey faced pressure over control of strategic territory and access between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Britain had previously played the leading role in supporting Greece and Turkey, but after World War II it told the United States it could no longer bear that burden.Truman responded by asking Congress to approve aid, arguing that the United States had to support “free peoples” resisting outside pressure or armed minority movements. By signing the bill, Truman transformed that broad statement of foreign policy into statutory authority backed by federal money. Legally, the act mattered because it showed how Cold War policy would often be made: the president would identify a global threat, and Congress would authorize funds and tools to respond. It also helped normalize large peacetime commitments abroad, a sharp change from earlier American reluctance to enter long-term foreign entanglements. The statute became an early foundation for the national security state that grew through later aid programs, alliances, intelligence activities, and military commitments.The Truman Doctrine also raised enduring questions about the balance of power between Congress and the president in foreign affairs. Congress approved the aid, but the broader doctrine gave presidents a flexible language for intervention that could be invoked well beyond Greece and Turkey. In that sense, May 22, 1947, was not just a date in diplomatic history; it was a legal turning point in how the United States authorized, funded, and justified its Cold War role in the world.A Ninth Circuit panel appeared uncertain about whether Jack Daniel's proved enough to win its trademark dilution-by-tarnishment claim against VIP Products over the “Bad Spaniels” dog toy. The judges focused especially on whether Jack Daniel's had shown that anything beyond the words “Jack Daniel's” was famous enough to qualify for dilution protection. Judge Andrew Hurwitz pressed Jack Daniel's counsel on whether the company could rely on the fame of its name to protect broader elements of its label and bottle design. Jack Daniel's argued that the court should consider the full context of the toy, including its bottle-like appearance and bathroom-humor references. VIP, by contrast, argued that the analysis should be limited to the famous mark itself and the allegedly diluting mark, not the entire product presentation.The case began after VIP made a dog toy parodying a Jack Daniel's bottle with poop-themed jokes, prompting years of litigation over trademark infringement, dilution, parody, and free speech. The U.S. Supreme Court previously ruled that VIP could not use the Rogers test because the toy used another company's trademark-like features to identify VIP's own product. On remand, the district court rejected Jack Daniel's infringement claim but again found dilution by tarnishment, which VIP appealed. VIP also raised a First Amendment challenge to the federal tarnishment law, though both VIP and the federal government suggested the Ninth Circuit could decide the case without reaching that constitutional issue. The Justice Department intervened to defend the law's constitutionality while also acknowledging that waiver or insufficient proof could let the panel avoid the First Amendment question.9th Circ. Questions Jack Daniel's' TM Win Over ‘Bad Spaniels' - Law360Meta has settled a closely watched lawsuit brought by Breathitt County School District in Kentucky over costs allegedly tied to youth mental health harms from social media. The case was important because it was the first school-district case against social media companies scheduled for trial on these claims. Breathitt had accused Meta, YouTube, Snap, and TikTok of designing platforms that kept young users engaged in harmful ways and contributed to anxiety, depression, self-harm, and other student mental health problems. The district sought more than $60 million, including money for a 15-year mental health program and an order requiring changes to allegedly addictive platform features. Meta's settlement follows earlier settlements by YouTube, Snap, and TikTok, meaning Breathitt's case is now fully resolved.The case was a bellwether, meaning it was chosen as a test case to help courts and parties evaluate similar lawsuits. About 1,200 school districts are pursuing related claims, and thousands of other social-media addiction lawsuits are pending in California state and federal courts. Meta said it resolved the case amicably and pointed to teen-safety tools such as Teen Accounts and parental controls. Lawyers for the school district said they remain focused on claims brought by the other districts. The settlement avoids a June 15 trial that could have shaped settlement talks and strategy across the broader litigation. Other major school systems, including Los Angeles and New York City, have filed similar lawsuits, while DeKalb County, Georgia, has claimed billions in future mental health costs.Meta settles first US case over school costs tied to youth mental health, court filing shows | ReutersOpenAI has expanded its group of outside law firms as it faces major litigation, complex business deals, and a possible future IPO. Reuters reports that the company, recently valued at $852 billion, now works with more than a dozen large U.S. law firms. OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman, and lawyers from Wachtell Lipton and Morrison & Foerster recently defeated Elon Musk's lawsuit claiming that OpenAI had departed from its original nonprofit mission. That ruling removed one potential obstacle to a possible IPO, which sources have said could happen as soon as September. Wachtell has also handled major OpenAI transactions since ChatGPT launched, including large fundraising deals involving Microsoft, Nvidia, and other investors.Wachtell is a central player for OpenAI in both deal work and litigation. The firm is defending OpenAI in a lawsuit from Musk's xAI alleging that OpenAI and Apple monopolized markets involving smartphones and generative AI chatbots. In a separate xAI trade secrets case, OpenAI hired Munger, Tolles & Olson. Latham & Watkins has worked on OpenAI deals, including a $4 billion credit line, and is also helping defend the company in copyright lawsuits brought by authors, comedians, and news organizations. OpenAI is arguing in those copyright cases that using material to train AI systems is protected by fair use.

El whisky más vendido del mundo —13 millones de cajas por año, presente en 170 países— se fabrica en un pueblo de 6.200 habitantes donde vender alcohol es ilegal. No era ilegal. Es ilegal. Hoy. En el Condado de Moore, Tennessee, la Prohibición nunca terminó del todo. En este episodio: quién fue realmente Jack Daniel, qué papel jugó un hombre esclavizado llamado Nearest Green en la historia de este whisky, cómo Tennessee se adelantó a la Prohibición federal, y cómo una restricción absurda se convirtió en uno de los argumentos de marketing más poderosos de la historia de las bebidas espirituosas.
Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter settle into the Bourbon Road bar for a warm-weather tasting session built around one unifying theme: light-proof, finished whiskeys perfect for summer sipping. The pair reconnect after Jim's trip to Branson and Todd's afternoon on the soccer sidelines, pouring five bottles that span maple syrup barrels, maple wood chunks, raw honey, port wine casks, and even an old fashioned cocktail mixer barrel — each one bringing its own creative approach to the art of the finish. On the Tasting Mat: - Iron Fish Distillery Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Maple Syrup Barrels (86 proof): A craft bourbon out of Thompsonville, Michigan, finished in barrels previously used to age maple syrup from a nearby family sugar bush farm. The nose opens with caramel green apple and buttery sweetness with virtually no ethanol heat. The palate is confectionary and sweet with a gentle warmth and a soft, hugging finish. Award-winning and approachable, this one shines as a warm-weather pour, especially over a large ice cube or alongside a glass of half-and-half iced tea. Retails around $50. *(00:02:11)* - Company Distilling Weated Bourbon Finished with Maple Wood Chunks (90 proof): From the distillery co-founded by former Jack Daniel's master distiller Jeff Arnett, this weated bourbon blends whiskey from three states using both column and pot stills, aged four to six years. Rather than using a maple syrup barrel, fully matured straight bourbon was finished by placing maple wood chunks directly into the whiskey to coax natural toasted wood character. The nose carries green apple, a hint of cinnamon toast, and a subtle forest smokiness. The palate is extraordinarily silky and smooth with very little impact up front, building to a light zip on the finish. A dangerously sessionable pour. Retails around $50. *(00:07:04)* - Green River Honey Finished Bourbon (92 proof): Distilled and aged in Owensboro, Kentucky, this four-year-old Green River straight bourbon was finished by adding a custom blend of locally sourced, seasonally selected raw unfiltered honey directly into the barrel, allowing the bourbon and honey to marry through natural barrel interaction. The result is a honey-colored, notably sweet whiskey with a confectionary nose and a smooth, very approachable palate that lends itself to mixing — a spiked Arnold Palmer or a light honey old fashioned being natural fits. Presented in distinctive hexagonal honeycomb-themed packaging. Retails at $24.99. *(00:13:31)* - Oak Lore Distilling Company Port Cask Finished Four Grain Bourbon (92 proof): From Oak Lore Distilling in North Carolina, this four-grain bourbon sourced from Southern Distilling in Statesville, NC and Kentucky partners including Bardstown/Green River receives an additional 12 to 18 months of maturation in freshly dumped domestic port wine barrels that previously held port for up to 18 years. The nose is dark and figgy with cherry and deep fruit. The palate opens with upfront sweetness before settling into a rich, heavy dark fruit finish reminiscent of well-aged port. A campfire evening sipper, particularly appealing to port lovers making the move toward bourbon. Retails at $79.95. *(00:21:48)* - Oak Lore Distilling Company Old Fashioned Finished Four Grain Bourbon (98 proof): The second of Oak Lore's Story Series entries, this four-grain bourbon finishes for an additional 18 months in barrels previously used to age Oak Lore's own old fashioned cocktail mixer. The result captures the essence of a classic old fashioned — bitters-forward aromatics with hints of orange, ginger, cardamom, and baking spice on the nose. The palate opens sweet and transitions into a bittery, cocktail-like finish that calls for nothing more than an ice cube and an orange garnish. Retails at $89.95. *(00:31:46)* Jim and Todd round out the episode with news about the freshly launched Bourbon Road website, which now hosts over 1,320 tasting notes, all 500-plus episodes, a searchable blog, and the all-new Roadie Bar — a members community complete with chat, event calendars, giveaways, and a 24/7 AI bartender named Cooper. The pair also tease an upcoming event at the Frankfurt Bourbon Society's Corner Rick House during the Bourbon on the Banks weekend on October 3rd.

Jack Daniel's is only a numbing agent. It doesn't fix the pain; it just gives you a headache in the morning while the problem remains. Most high-performing men are "white-knuckling" their way through life, relying on a brand of strength that has no spiritual depth. They are mission-driven and overworked, yet secretly isolated. In this forensic identity audit, Ted Phaëton sits down with Chris Grainger, founder of The Lion Within Us, to dismantle the "Chief Everything Officer" trap. Chris reveals the exact moment his "white-knuckle" strength failed him, following a failed marriage and the tragic loss of his daughter, and explains why your ego is currently your biggest operational liability. We deconstruct the "Meteorologist" archetype of predictive leadership and why modern men must stop "outsourcing" their spiritual authority to AI or institutions. If you are a CEO, father, or leader who feels "successful" on paper but hollow in reality, this conversation is your diagnostic tool for reclamation. In this episode, we deconstruct: The Identity Forensic Audit: Why your body breaks before your ego does. The 3 Most Dangerous Words: Why saying "I got this" is actually a rejection of God. The Feminization of the Church: Why traditional spiritual settings are failing the modern man. The Windshield Principle: How to stop living in the "rear-view mirror" of your past failures. The Lion vs. The Passive: How to safely tap into masculine aggression without losing your integrity.

Andy Allen and Keith Henson have been cooking together since 2010, back when they were competing under the name Rooftop BBQ. What started as a shared passion turned into years on the road—chasing contests, learning from other pitmasters, and putting in long nights behind the smoker. Over the last 15+ years, they've cooked some of the biggest stages in BBQ, including the American Royal and the Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue, along with competitions all across the country. Along the way, they've also served BBQ to crowds at events like the Reno Rib Festival and Stagecoach Festival, and even helped bring authentic American barbecue overseas as part of the development of The Ranch Smokehouse. But most of what they've learned didn't come from trophies—it came from the miles in between. Early mornings lighting pits, late nights dialing in flavors, and countless conversations with pitmasters who live and breathe the craft. Every cook, every mistake, every win added something to the way they think about BBQ. Rambler BBQ is a reflection of that journey. The sauces and rubs aren't just recipes—they're built from years of experience on the road, shaped by different regions, styles, and the people who shared their knowledge along the way. It's everything they've picked up over 15 years of chasing great barbecue, now put into a bottle.
As of April 2026, Jack Daniel's has released highly sought-after "hazmat" (over 140 proof) single-barrel rye whiskeys, with special releases like the Tanyard Hill or Small Batch variants often ranging between 142.7 and 146.1 proof. These limited, uncut, and unfiltered, Tennessee straight rye whiskeys feature a 70% rye mash bill and are known for intense heat and complex, dark fruit flavorsPrav Saraff is a prominent Washington, D.C.-based bourbon connoisseur, owner of 1 West Dupont Circle Wines & Liquors, and creator of the independent bottling label "Dream Spirits". Known as a major figure in the whiskey industry for sourcing rare bottles and exclusive single-barrel picks, he is highly regarded for his expertise and customer-focused approach.

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are back at the Corner Rickhouse in Frankfort, Kentucky, just down the road from Buffalo Trace, settling in for a heritage distillery tasting that spans from the hills of Lynchburg, Tennessee, all the way through the heart of Kentucky bourbon country. The guys kick off with the latest annual drops from Jack Daniel's before crossing the state line to visit some of the storied names that built American whiskey into what it is today. Along the way, Jim and Todd also chat about the swirling acquisition rumors surrounding Brown-Forman, the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, and what it means for a legacy brand to stay independent. On the Tasting Mat: - **Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old Batch 5 (2026):** The newest annual release of Jack's decade-aged Tennessee whiskey, bottled at 97 proof with an 80/12/8 corn-rye-malt mash bill. The nose opens with inviting molasses, banana candy, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a hint of chocolate alongside a light leather note. On the palate it delivers warmth well above its sub-100 proof, with brown sugar, candy cherry, and a lingering spice-driven finish. *(00:01:48)* - Jack Daniel's 12 Year Old Batch 4 (2026): The 12-year step-up in the Tennessee Heritage series, clocking in at 107 proof. The nose is more muted than its younger sibling but shifts toward darker fruit — raisins, black cherries, and molasses. The palate moves away from the lighter candy notes into a drier, more structured profile with bitter chocolate, dried cranberry, and a savory, slightly green mid-palate character. *(00:09:35)* - Knob Creek Blender's Edition 01 — Sweet Bourbon Blend: The first installment in a new Knob Creek blending series, this 10-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon is bottled at 106 proof and retails for around $45. The nose leans into vanilla and light Rick house funk rather than the brand's signature nuttiness. The palate follows with a light, vanilla-forward profile featuring cake batter sweetness and confectionary notes — a deliberate stylistic departure aimed at accessibility. *(00:14:35)* - Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series — Steward's Release: The third entry in Maker's Mark's five-part Wood Finishing Series, finished on 10 toasted American oak staves and bottled at approximately 109.8 proof for around $75–$80. The nose is richly expressive — cherry pie filling, baking spices, cinnamon, and caramel. The palate delivers vanilla custard, honey, chocolate, cardamom, allspice, stone fruit, and a savory oak note on the back end. *(00:26:41)* - Evan Williams America 250th Commemorative Edition Single Barrel (Barrel #233): A special single barrel release bottled at the patriotically meaningful 117.76 proof to honor the nation's 250th birthday. Barrel #233 was laid down December 15, 2018 and bottled March 2, 2026 — just over eight years of maturation. The nose features toasted caramel, peanut shell, oak, and dark berries. The palate is rich and layered with peach, berry, sweet oak, and a long finish, all for a remarkable $45 retail price. *(00:31:15)* Jim and Todd wrap up with a ranking of all five pours, debating heritage versus innovation across some of American whiskey's most iconic names. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Tennessee tradition or a Kentucky bourbon devotee, this episode offers a wide-ranging tour through the legacies that built the brown water world we know today.

This week on 3 Guys and a Flick, we take a first-class trip straight into the heart of 1992's Scent of a Woman. We break down Al Pacino's Academy Award-winning performance as the loud, crude, whiskey-soaked Colonel Frank Slade, alongside Chris O'Donnell's standout turn as Charlie Sims, the kid caught between honor and opportunity. We dig into Martin Brest's direction, the unforgettable score from Thomas Newman, and legendary scenes like the tango, the Ferrari joyride, and that explosive disciplinary hearing finale. Along the way, we trade trivia, crack wise like a bunch of Baird-school degenerates, and decide whether this film still earns its hoo-ah after all these years. Grab a double Jack Daniel's on the rocks, keep your hands off the 900 numbers, and remember… there are only two syllables worth hearing. Hoo-ah!
Episode Maxim "When it comes to firearms training—there's no substitute for real-time coaching and learning to think outside the box." Episode Summary In this episode, Keith and I sit down with Jack Daniel, Director of Training at Thunder Ranch, to dive deep into the art and science of firearms training. Drawing on his 19-year law enforcement career specializing in patrol, narcotics, and SWAT leadership, Jack shares the lessons he's carried into civilian training and the mindset shifts required when moving from law enforcement to teaching civilians. Jack unpacks the importance of individualized instruction, the role of leadership on the range, and how Thunder Ranch continues to evolve its training doctrines post-Clint Smith. We explore everything from dry fire best practices and common student “training scars,” to crucial live fire drills and the value of pressure-tested mindset and mechanics. We also discuss what makes Thunder Ranch stand out among firearms training facilities, gear failures to avoid, and Jack's approach to realistic defensive encounters. Plus, Jack shares his rapid-fire insights on overhyped training trends, fist fighting myths, and the most overlooked piece of carry gear—all while giving listeners actionable advice to elevate their skills.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, it's my birthday episode, and whiskey news got weird in the best way. Stitzel-Weller just announced a 31-year-old bourbon bottled at a wild 163.2 proof with a $3,000 price tag. Jack Daniel's is teaming up with McLaren for the limited-edition Halo MK1 Tennessee Whiskey, and in gaming news, the new Steam Controller is already selling out while Halo 2 and Halo 3 remake rumors are heating up. Then I dive into a Byte-Sized Review of Bernheim 20th Anniversary Wheat Whiskey from Heaven Hill. This limited-edition Bernheim is 10 years old, bottled at 115 proof, and celebrates 20 years of one of the most unique American whiskey styles. I went in curious, but this one seriously surprised me with rich caramel, Halloween candy sweetness, balanced spice, and a finish that made me wonder why Bernheim doesn't get more love.
Chad just got back from Tennessee, and he's not over it yet. Good luck getting him over it.

That's how you do Music City. Then Lynchburg. The Jack Daniel's distillery. Barrel selection with 24 people, the biggest group selection Clint Bailey and Josh Phillips had ever done. Drilling straight into a nine-year-old barrel in a rickhouse, lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's, shopping at the hardware store, and a sunset dinner on the hill with cigars and rocking chairs made from actual barrel wood. Hank Jr., Waylon, Randy Travis, and Don Williams playing softly in the background straight from his friend's guitars. Chad also gets into the single-barrel program and why you should seriously look into getting one for your family, your company, and your legacy. The details on that are worth the listen alone.

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks,” the podcast that turns melody into medicine.In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with Robert Ross, a Canadian‑Australian singer‑songwriter whose life has been forged by both battlefield and studio. After 11 years of service in the Canadian Army, Robert turned his battlefield stories, camaraderie, and raw emotions into a string of heartfelt country‑rock anthems that have topped indie charts around the world.Together they explore how classic legends like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard shaped Robert's storytelling, why the 90 s country sound still feels like home, and how today's genre‑blurring landscape both challenges and revives traditional country roots. Listeners get an inside look at the inspirations behind three of Robert's standout tracks:“Jack Daniels” – a drunken, 4‑a.m. escapade in Gladstone, Queensland that turned into a tongue‑in‑cheek ode to late‑night misadventures.“For You Girl” – a playful, chase‑the‑love‑song co‑written with Nashville producer Gil Grand, inspired by Robert's “other half,” Sue.“Better With Time” – the title cut of his latest album, a tender tribute to aging gracefully and the beauty that lies beyond today's image‑obsessed culture.Robert also shares how the military taught him confidence and structure, the ache of losing comrades, and the therapeutic power of music when words fall short. He highlights why buying merch—hoodies, hats, water bottles—means more to independent artists than streaming numbers, and he points fans to his socials (Robert Ross Music, @Robert.RossMusic, robertrossmusic.com) for new releases, videos, and the ever‑growing community that fuels his craft.Whether you're a veteran seeking a new purpose, a country purist longing for that classic twang, or anyone wrestling with depression and anxiety, this conversation proves that a well‑written song can lift the spirit, bridge the gap between genres, and remind us all that “when words fail, music speaks.”Stay tuned— you won't want to miss this heartfelt, genre‑spanning deep‑dive into the life, love, and lessons of Robert Ross.Website:https://www.robertrossmusic.com
This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, we're diving into a packed week of whiskey news before heading to Northern California for a Byte-Sized Review of Redwood Empire Haystack Needle. Michter's is releasing its first-ever Barrel Strength Sour Mash Whiskey, Maker's Mark is back with a new edition of Star Hill Farm Whisky, Widow Jane is finishing bourbon in Tequila Ocho casks, Jack Daniel's has a new hazmat rye release, and Four Roses is expanding its single barrel lineup. Plus, we take a quick look at upcoming video game releases, including Forza Horizon 6 and 007 First Light. Then it's time for the main event: a review of Redwood Empire Haystack Needle, an 8 year, 7 month California bourbon single barrel pick from K&L Wine and Spirits, bottled at 119 proof. This bottle completely surprised me with bright red fruit, strawberry shortcake, dark chocolate, oak, and a finish that makes me wonder if Redwood Empire is helping define the future of California whiskey.
