On this week's episode, Kevin Carlson returns to the show and takes total control of the conversation with a rapid-fire set of “whiskey myth-busting” questions that every enthusiast needs to hear. We tackle the age-old debate head-on: was bourbon actually better before the boom, or are we living in a golden era of variety and innovation? We break down whether the concept of a true "daily drinker" is officially dead for the enthusiast, and touch on the eternal battle of proof versus flavor. We argue why higher proof doesn't automatically mean a better whiskey, because there are fan favorites like Michter's 10 and Weller 107. Then there is the polarizing rise of American light whiskey and the truth behind age statements. We close things out by busting the romantic myths surrounding dusty bottles, the actual hands-on role of a modern Master Distiller, and whether the little guy stands a chance against heritage giants when releasing an ultra-premium bottle. Show Notes: Comparing the lower prices and dusty availability of the past to today's massive variety and diverse product landscape Analyzing how the explosion of available expressions has changed purchasing habits for casual vs. serious consumers Why every whiskey has an ideal balance point and how chasing high proofs can sabotage a spirit's true profile The technical reality of the category and why it gets overhyped when marketed under the guise of traditional bourbon Why age statements act as a guide rather than a guarantee of quality for aging barrels in Kentucky climates How premium presentation impacts consumer perception and the fine line between creative finishing and masking weak distillate The operational reality of today's heritage producers and why a corporate Master Distiller acts more like a ship captain than a hands-on operator Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave took another trip to the emergency room this week — though this one wasn't for him. His daughter Bernadette and one of his boys built a foam block bridge, she went off the side of it, landed on the wall, and broke her clavicle. Clean break. When Adam got the x-ray, he zoomed in, screenshotted just the broken collarbone, and sent it to Lady Haylee with no context — let her think Adam had been out grinding, building fences, shouldering it like a tough guy. Bernadette, for the record, is doing great. Three weeks and she's back to normal. As Dave put it, if you're going to break your clavicle, do it young. Don't do it at Jim's age.A lot of life packed into this one before the topic. Adam and his boys, Luke and Jude, are going to read the Aeneid together this summer — Luke already read it at Holy Family Classical School, so he'll lead the way. Adam helped Dave harvest wheat (the invoice is coming), and the two of them talked homesteading honestly: you don't get into it to save time or money. It's a lifestyle, and the pork chop costs $400 if you're foolish enough to count your own labor. Adam also turned 40 — by the time this airs, the birthday's passed — and he spent his Substack this week reflecting on the four ten-year cycles he's got left, if he's lucky. The big lesson from 30 to 40: he had it backwards. He was making his life serve the business instead of the business serve his life. Build the habits of prayer, reading, and friendship young, because life only gets busier, and it's far easier to keep a habit than to add one.Two prayer requests worth holding. Lady Pamela's due date is this week — baby Niles number seven, two middle names this time, names not yet shared. And baby Mary is still in the NICU. They're going to try again this week to take her off the breathing tube. She's weaning off sedation — which means withdrawals, which is hard — but she's gaining weight and getting stronger. Get past the tube and the next hill is open heart surgery. Adam's grateful for every prayer, and for the guys who sent DoorDash cards. Keep praying for Mary. And a shout-out to Dan O'Brien, David's father-in-law, walking the Camino as this drops — Dan, hope the feet are holding up.This week's pour is a funny one: WhistlePig's 250th Anniversary of America 10-Year "Piggy Bank" Limited Edition Straight Rye, 55% ABV. The box is a literal piggy bank and the bottle is a chrome-plated ceramic pig. Spicier and more herbal than your Weller or Buffalo Trace — but smooth for the proof, with caramel and warm undertones. Picked up at Broken Arrow Wine and Spirits, owned by a good Catholic family from St. Benedict. Jim's yummy scale (bourbon scale): 5.87 out of 6.Then the main course: the Finding of Jesus in the Temple. Luke 2, the last joyful mystery, the only Gospel that records it — and the very first time Jesus is recorded speaking. Adam walks through it with the Catena Aurea, Aquinas's compilation of the Church Fathers edited by St. John Henry Newman. The caravan to Jerusalem split women and children up front, men in the back, and a twelve-year-old could be in either — so Mary thought He was with Joseph, Joseph thought He was with Mary. Theophylact says it wasn't negligence. A logistical blind spot. Any father who's left a kid at church after coffee and donuts gets it.The three days they searched? St. Ambrose says that's no accident — a rehearsal for the three days of the Passion, lost and then found again. The age of twelve is no accident either: right before the bar mitzvah, the Lord fulfilling the law perfectly, right on time, and twelve standing for the tribes and the apostles. Watch Mary, too. She brings her grief straight to her Son without accusation — "why have you done this to us?" — modeling how a soul carries pain to Christ: honestly, blaming no one, trusting before she fully understands. Watch Joseph, who says nothing, and pursues his mission relentlessly without drama. That's the masculine answer to adversity: very well, and you handle it. Protect, provide, establish.Was Jesus being disobedient? The Fathers say no — His higher obedience to His Father's business ran underneath the surface, and verse 51 shows Him going home and being subject to them. God first, then family, and that order doesn't fracture the home. It grounds it. And where did they find Him? In the temple. His Father's house. Which is the whole point: you can find Jesus in nature, in the car, anywhere — but you are guaranteed to find Him in the church, body, blood, soul, and divinity, in the tabernacle of every Catholic church in the world. If you want to become holy, go be with Him. Get an adoration hour. Holiness doesn't happen the way Adam's buddy Juan figured he'd "just kind of one day have a six pack." You have to do something about it. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave's daughter Bernadette breaking her clavicle falling off a foam block bridge the kids builtAdam screenshotting the x-ray and sending just the broken collarbone to Lady Haylee with no contextAdam reading the Aeneid with his sons Luke and Jude this summer — and why he's doing it men's-group styleHarvesting wheat, and the honest economics of homesteading ("the $400 pork chop")Why you never homestead to save time or money — it's a lifestyle, not a shortcutAdam turning 40 and his Substack reflection on the four ten-year cycles he has leftThe biggest lesson from 30 to 40 — making the business serve your life instead of your life serving the businessWhy habits of prayer, reading, and friendship are easier to keep than to add laterLeveraging competent friends instead of trying to do everything yourselfLady Pamela due this week with baby Niles number seven — and the two-middle-names debateBaby Mary update — another attempt to come off the breathing tube, weaning off sedation, gaining weightWhy open heart surgery is the next hill after the breathing tubeDan O'Brien walking the Camino — a shout-out for sore feetBourbon of the week: WhistlePig 250th Anniversary 10-Year "Piggy Bank" Limited Edition Straight Rye, 55% ABVThe ceramic pig bottle, the piggy-bank box, and why a limited shelf whiskey runs $250–$350Jim's yummy scale hitting 5.87 out of 6 on the bourbon scaleThe Finding of Jesus in the Temple — Luke 2, the last joyful mystery, and the only Gospel that records itThe first recorded words of Our LordReading the story through the Catena Aurea — Aquinas's compilation of the Fathers, edited by St. John Henry NewmanHow the Passover caravan split women and children up front and men in the back — and how Jesus fell into the gapTheophylact on why it was a logistical blind spot, not negligence or bad parentingSt. Ambrose on the three-day search foreshadowing the three days of the Passion and ResurrectionWhy the age of twelve matters — the year before the bar mitzvah, and the symbolism of the twelve tribes and apostlesJesus fulfilling the law perfectly and right on time, not jumping aheadMary bringing her grief to Christ without accusation — the model for carrying pain to the Lord"About my father's business" vs. "in my father's house" — the translation and what it meansSt. Bede on faith preceding comprehension — assenting before fully understandingSt. Joseph as the model father — pursuing his mission relentlessly, without drama or self-pityMary honoring Joseph's fatherhood — "your father and I" — and why spouses don't belittle each otherHow complaining about your spouse to others actually breaks your wedding vowsWas Jesus disobedient?

Mark heads to Colorado and comes back with a bottle of Stranahan's Distiller's Experimental Series: Cherry Soda, a three-cask finish you won't find on most shelves, with only 1,400 bottles made.The backstory behind Stranahan's involves a volunteer firefighter, a physicist who liked dynamite a little too much, and a barn fire that somehow turned into one of America's best-selling single malts. Rob and Mark pour a glass, dig into the new American single malt category, and try to figure out if cherry cola belongs in whiskey.Also covered: walls of Weller, Denver drivers, and the most interesting word in the episode (it rhymes with hickory).Pour something good and settle in.

Taylor still feel like they vanish the moment they hit a shelf. We get honest about why that contradiction isn't really a contradiction at all, and what it means for anyone chasing allocated bourbon over the next few years.We start with a full Weller 12 tasting and score it the Scotchy Bourbon Boys way: nose, body, taste, and finish. Expect straight talk on the buttery butterscotch profile, the dusty oak and cherry notes, and the big question that always comes up with Weller 12: does 90 proof hold it back, or is that softness exactly why it works? From there we connect the glass to the bigger market, including why some Buffalo Trace releases drink “premium” even when the proof looks modest on paper.Then we zoom out to the bourbon industry trends heading into 2026 and beyond: the $1.2B Buffalo Trace expansion, the unavoidable aging lag that keeps demand ahead of supply, and why secondary prices and lotteries still rule access. The roundtable brings heat too: Eagle Rare 12 chatter, Chicago availability stories, the Traveler whiskey debate, and a reminder that blind tasting can embarrass even confident palates. We also welcome Greg to unpack a wild concept: ultrasonic sound waves inside a barrel to enhance maturation for American Metal Whiskey.If you care about Buffalo Trace, allocated whiskey, Weller, Eagle Rare, and where the bourbon market is heading, this one's for you.

Is the private credit market heading toward a systemic crisis? Join us as we sit down with Scott Weller, CTO and co-founder of EnFi, to discuss how AI is bridging the gap between hidden document data and real-time risk assessment. Learn how lenders can avoid being blindsided by the next wave of defaults by upgrading their digital infrastructure. In this episode of the Risk Management Show, Scott shares insights from the front lines of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse and explains why the current blind spot in private credit poses a major threat to the industry. We explore the limitations of traditional data rooms and how information trapped in manual documents leads to slow response times during global shocks. Scott explains the concept of a private credit stress index and why the industry must move beyond manual financial spreading to survive modern volatility. We also dive into the role of agentic AI and Large Language Models in risk management. Scott clears up common misconceptions about data digitization projects and explains how organizations can unlock the value of their existing documents today without waiting for years-long consolidation projects to finish. Whether you are a lender, an executive, or a risk professional, this conversation provides a roadmap for using technology to build institutional memory and maintain a competitive edge in an increasingly unpredictable market.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes Podcast, I'm breaking down some of the biggest whiskey news stories of the moment—plus a first impression review of a brand new Bardstown Bourbon Company release.
The Quiet Shift Ending the Bourbon Boom The script explains how bourbon's decade-long boom—marked by soaring prices, scarcity, secondary-market flipping, and “hunting” culture fueled by online communities—has begun to shift quietly rather than crash. Once overlooked in the 1980s and 1990s, bourbon surged in the early 2010s as consumers sought authenticity and tradition, turning hard-to-find bottles like Pappy Van Winkle and Weller into status symbols. Distilleries expanded and laid down record barrels assuming demand would keep rising, but aging delays mean today's market is now facing millions of ready barrels while demand softens. Signs include bottles sitting longer, slower price increases, and declining secondary prices. Changing drinking habits—less collecting, more experiences, and more competition from tequila and ready-to-drink options—point to a reset: improved availability, stabilized prices, and renewed focus on enjoying the whiskey itself. 00:00 Bourbon Boom Peaks 00:49 How Hype Took Over 02:17 Scarcity and Secondary Market 03:20 Early Signs of a Shift 03:58 Barrel Glut Reality Check 04:44 New Drinkers New Trends 05:24 Reset and Enjoy Again 05:56 From Hype to Reality

We cannot escape the tempting clutches of Peter Weller, it seems. Unfortunately, this time, we are at a loss. Elmore Leonard's CAT CHASER, adapted by Abel Ferrara (covered when we uncovered BAD LIEUTENANT), starring Weller and Kelly McGillis. What could go wrong? A lot supposedly. A troubled script process. Warring co-stars. Abel Ferrara. For a film that depicts mostly a bunch of conversations in rooms and locations with very little action, there were a tonne of accidents and near-fatal incidents on this shoot. Kelly proclaimed, "I WILL NEVER ACT AGAIN!" and took a 6-month hiatus. This film is rare. There is even a rarer 3-hr slop print that exists on videotape in the film archives. You might have to deal with the DVD-quality version on Hoopla (support your local library).
In this inspiring episode of Inside ArtScroll, Rabbi Shlomo Landau sits down with Dov Weller to discuss The Rav Meir Shapiro and Chachmei Lublin Haggadah, a work that brings the spirit of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin to the Seder table. Drawing on the Torah of Rav Meir Shapiro — founder of Daf Yomi and visionary builder of the famed yeshivah — together with the teachings of its roshei yeshivah, mashgichim, and talmidim, he presents Yetzias Mitzrayim as a living journey of emunah, bitachon, growth, and redemption, and shows how the legacy of these gedolim continues to illuminate our understanding of freedom and avodas Hashem. In their conversation, Dov Weller reflects on the personal journey behind the Haggadah's creation and how immersing himself in the divrei Torah and stories of Chachmei Lublin deepened his own experience of the Seder. Together, he and Rabbi Landau explore meaningful passages and themes, highlighting practical insights that can spark discussion and strengthen emunah at the Seder table. Thoughtful questions and heartfelt anecdotes give listeners a vivid sense of connection — not only to the text, but to the enduring voice and light of Chachmei Lublin.
In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Damon Minchella — founder of Ocean Colour Scene, longtime bass player for Paul Weller, and collaborator with Richard Ashcroft — to talk about his candid and often hilarious memoir You'd Look Good on a Donkey. Across a musical life that has ricocheted between some of the biggest names in music — from Paul McCartney and Jimmy Page to Diana Ross, Dr. John and The Who — Minchella has built a career full of extraordinary stories, unlikely encounters, and a deep love of music that runs through everything he does. During the conversation, Damon reflects on the creation of You'd Look Good on a Donkey, a memoir that captures the highs, chaos, humour and survival instincts required to navigate life in the music industry. In this wide-ranging conversation, Damon opens up about the early days of Ocean Colour Scene, the Birmingham music scene that shaped the band, and how their sound developed during the Britpop era. He also shares memories of working closely with Paul Weller — one of Britain's most influential songwriters — and what he learned from being inside Weller's musical world for so many years. The conversation explores the realities of band life, the strange rhythm of touring and recording, and the delicate balance between personal life and the pressures that come with a career in music. Along the way, Damon discusses the process of writing the book itself — revisiting decades of experiences that range from hilarious and absurd to deeply personal — and explains why honesty and self-reflection were essential to telling the story properly. Whether you're a fan of Ocean Colour Scene, interested in the behind-the-scenes realities of the music industry, or simply enjoy a great rock memoir, this conversation offers an entertaining and revealing look at a life spent in and around music.

In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll explore the Sixth Gate of Grief: the grief we carry for harm done to ourselves and others. We'll draw on the expanded framework of Francis Weller's gates of grief to unpack why this gate is one of the most challenging and most liberating to work with. It's important to note that this isn't about guilt-tripping or self-flagellation. It's about honest reckoning, releasing unconscious burdens, and reclaiming inner freedom. Because grief (not shame) is what actually moves us toward healing, repair, and becoming people who cause less harm. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

[00:01:00] — What this gate includes: harmful thought patterns like corrosive self-talk, choices that felt necessary but caused harm, inaction when we could have intervened, and participation in collective harms like racism, classism, ableism, and environmental destruction. [00:02:00] — A critical disclaimer: this gate asks us to see these harms — not soak in them. Grief is meant to flow through us, not become a stagnant pool. Henry emphasizes the difference between grieving well and getting stuck. [00:03:30] — Three reasons this gate is especially challenging: (1) the scope of harm we participate in is nearly infinite; (2) the thin line between acknowledging harm and collapsing into shame and guilt; (3) the defensiveness this topic can trigger — and how to touch that lightly and let it go. [00:05:00] — This is about inner freedom, not atonement. Genuine inner freedom requires an honest look at how we affect those around us. [00:05:30] — Aimee and Henry on the word releasing vs. "getting over it." You can leap over a thing and still be carrying it. Releasing requires first being able to see what's there. [00:06:00] — Quote from Sabaa Tahir: two kinds of guilt — the kind that drowns you until you're useless, and the kind that fires your soul to purpose. Working with grief can move us from one to the other. [00:06:30] — Introduction of moral injury: the psychological wound that comes from betraying our own values, or witnessing others do it. Research shows moral injury is more strongly associated with PTSD symptoms than direct exposure to danger. [00:07:30] — Moral injury shows up everywhere — not just in war. Healthcare rationing, kids being detained, someone cutting you off in traffic. Untended grief in this gate can mean we snap at small things because they echo larger unprocessed wounds. [00:09:00] — Henry: grief helps us heal these deep, often invisible wounds. [00:10:00] — How harm to others haunts us for years, even decades. As social creatures, we're wired to repair harm and strengthen bonds. When we don't act, buried harm turns into guilt and shame — and shame isolates. Grief, by contrast, calls us into community and toward repair. [00:11:00] — Autoimmune disease analogy: shame is the emotional equivalent of an immune system attacking itself. A healthy response addresses the problem; an overreaction causes more damage than the original harm. [00:13:00] — Turning to harms we cause ourselves: negative self-talk, lifestyle choices, addictions. No matter the cause, we deserve healing from it. The challenge: in this case, we are both perpetrator and victim. [00:14:00] — Grief opens us up rather than closing us down. It can hold both the hurt experienced and the compassion for causing that pain. [00:14:30] — Connection to post-traumatic growth: not about psychological comfort, but awakening. Grief is the ride between pain and gain — and there's no bypassing it. [00:15:00] — Henry on the role of equanimity (this month's Element of Joy): balance is what allows us to hold two seemingly opposing truths at once. You fully acknowledge the harm and hold yourself with compassion. Neither minimizing nor drowning. [00:16:30] — Quote from Sister Helen Prejean (Dead Man Walking): "People are more than the worst thing they've done." The goal isn't no harm — it's less harm. And believing that you are more than your worst moment fosters humility, compassion, and healing that ripples outward to others. [00:17:30] — Preview of the next episode: the Seventh Gate — Trauma, and how grief and trauma intersect in the work of healing. [00:17:45] — Closing wisdom from Maya Angelou: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief sits down with April Weller Cantrell, widely known throughout the whiskey world as The Bourbon Baroness. A trusted voice in American whiskey and one of Big Chief's closest confidants in the industry, April brings experience, perspective, and straight shooting honesty to a conversation that is honest and deep, rooted in respect for the craft and the people behind it. In the first half of the show, Big Chief pours the new Shiner Texas Bourbon from K. Spoetzl Distillery. This single barrel release at 112 proof showcases bold Texas character and opens the door to a thoughtful discussion on grain, climate driven maturation, and where Texas bourbon fits within the broader American whiskey conversation. The second half sees the glasses change. Big Chief sips on Sazerac Rye Full Proof, digging into high proof rye spice, structure, and intensity, even hinting that this pour may have the chops to compete as a Whiskey of the Year contender. Alongside him, the Baroness pours Shakertown Spirits whiskey, offering a heritage driven counterpoint that deepens the conversation around balance, tradition, and thoughtful production. As always, this episode goes beyond tasting notes. It is about truth, perspective, and supporting the people building American whiskey the right way. At its heart, this conversation is a reminder to slow down, be present, and appreciate the moment. A shared pour becomes a pause, a reflection, and a quiet connection to something greater than ourselves. Pour a glass, settle in, and take the ride with Big Chief and the Baroness. Cheers

A hundred episodes later, the energy feels different, in the best way. We unpack a year that stretched us and grounded us: restaurant openings that set a new bar for Bentonville, a brewery moving in next door to the new campus, and community events that turned goodwill into real impact. Along the way we laugh through the chaos, Bobby's empty chair, a fire alarm mid-haircut, and a not-so-secret “VIP stash” moment; because the inside jokes only work when the community outside the studio is growing with us.Food shaped the year's rhythm. Compton delivered big-city polish with local soul, Mezzaluna continued to shine, and Great Harvest reminded us how far courage can go when first-time guests bring passion and pastry. We spotlight expansions at MJ's and Peddler's Pub, and look ahead with Flyway Brewery coming just a stone's throw from our front door. It's a sign of a city maturing: better rooms, deeper menus, and owners who treat hospitality like craft. We talk frankly about location challenges, closures that still sting, and the lessons they leave behind for builders and operators.Bourbon kept the stories flowing. From special-pick Eagle Rare to a Weller full proof that sparked a legendary cabinet caper, we relive the sips that earned reverence and the blends that belong in the penalty box. Those pours became rituals: reasons to gather, reflect, and plan the next road trip to the bourbon trail. Gentsgiving hit a new peak, powered by generous people and tight logistics, and proved that humor, clarity, and heart can move a room to give more than they planned.We also get personal. A Razorback-red watch gifted to a dad in a tough year, kids dropping by for ice cream and causes, and a cohost determined to show up for every recording in 2026. That's the fuel for season three: add Jim to the regular lineup, film on-site at local institutions, and keep telling stories where Bentonville, bourbon, and business meet. If you're new here, welcome to the table. If you've been with us from the start, you helped build it.Enjoy the recap, then tell us what you want next: a guest to book, a bottle to try, or a place we should record.
