We are slightly late this week but we are here! For several months now, one of the co-hosts of The incredible PODCASK podcast has been predicting a "Divisional Shift" coming to bourbon.

This week the hosts of the Podcask join me and the Bourbon Junkies return to debate the prediction.

The question is simply this. Is Greeze the Bourbon Prophet trying to warn us all of the impending doom in Bourbon? Or do I owe the Bourbon Junkies an Apology for forcing them to sit through this?

Time for you to decide. . .

Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors.

SAGAMORE

This week’s episode is brought to you by Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey. They are reviving the tradition of Maryland-style rye whiskey at their Baltimore farm and waterfront distillery. Each batch of their whiskey is hand-blended for consistency in aroma, flavor, and texture, creating a balanced flavor profile with notes of warm cinnamon, vanilla bean, honey, and spice. Find them online at Sagamore Spirit dot com or visit your local retailer to pick up a bottle. Please drink responsibly.

Waterford! If you're familiar with the concept of Terroir in wine, you'll appreciate Mark Reynier's Waterford "Single Malt Whisky" from Ireland. Mark is combining his Scotch whisky and fine wine talents to produce an authentic series of Irish Single Malt Whiskies based on traditional wine industry principles. 2021 Icons of Whisky - Brand innovator and Irish Distiller of the year - San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold - one of 750com's Game Changers is proving that Waterford is indeed different. How? Authenticity! The Terrior code on each bottle reveals the entire story of that whisky. Full disclosure, full traceability. 100% pure Irish barley creates an intensity of flavor derived from exceptional steps in the distilling process. Waterford is gastronomic because it's honest. * Waterford's Single Farm Origin is one farm, one whisky. The collection reveals the Terroir of each farm and its unique flavor profile. * Waterford's Arcadian series: Flavor through Agronomy - Organic Gaia and Biodynamic Luna - Single Malt Whiskies * Waterford's hyper-rare Cuvée series: Flavor through complexity, layering components from several farms

Widely available across the US, visit our friends at glassrev.com to discover "where to buy" this innovative, game-changing new single malt whisky. Waterford - sometimes subtle, sometimes powerful, always unique. Our last Sponsor is THE official Sponsor of Whiskey Neat, Balcones- In 2008, Balcones was nothing more than an idea driven by a passion to create something original and authentic. Focusing on ingredients and process, they breathed new life into hundreds of years of distilling traditions, earning them worldwide recognition for their whiskies.

This week I sit down with good friends and frequent guests, Dusti Rhodes and Charles Jestice. They join me to catch up on Dusti's upcoming Comedy Special and Charles's new Restaurant that is in the works here in Houston.

Of course, we spiral off into Covid discussions and Skankfest Controversies.

Oh! And also this week we talk about how The 6th Annual Whiskey Social went and the new launch of Gregarious Grump Cognac.

A good time was had by all.

He joins me this week to discuss why he never left Houston when he hit it big and of course, his next comedy special, filmed right here in Houston at the Improv.

We work through the mindset of comedy fans and of course comics on why they leave the city in an effort to make it big with many making no effort to support their hometown's talent.

This week I catch up with a long time friend, Morgan Weber. Founder of Marfa Spirits Company and someone who just released an absolute RARE offering unseen in today's spirits environment.

A Sub $50 1 liter 95 proof Sotol.

As many may remember I discussed the nonsense happening in the Mexican Spirits category a while back and the criminal behavior by some in this industry taking advantage of the category.

It was nice catching up. Love the guy.

This week I had the extreme pleasure to talk to Writer and Director John Pollono to discus his new film "Small Engine Repair" which will premiere Nationwide in Movie Theatres on September 10th.

As a father of Teenage daughters I was enthralled by the film and just had to speak to him. A really down-to-earth guy who happens to be a father himself.

This great film hit home for me and it was a delight to speak with him.

Gather around family as we tell you a heartwarming story. One of Heroes and Villains.

This story has everything. A High School Education, High Cholesterol, Haters, and the shortest tiniest attempt at a brand launch you have ever seen.

Over the past two weeks, Netflix's "Last Chance U" Coach Jason Brown has completely gone off on someone for simply posting a picture of his product. No insults. No real negative comment was made by the OP. Just simply a picture of a product that he has named "Slapdick: Real Agave Whiskey"

Since her post Coach JB has not only unleashed a plethora of sexist, overly graphic, perverse, and hateful comments aimed specifically at her, he has doxed her place of work and encouraged all of his followers to go over to her page and harass her all while accusing her of clout chasing.

This archaic and wildly inappropriate behavior is being ridiculed across the Whiskey World and has spawned a wave of support within the Whiskey Community in her direction and led to his distributor dropping him and his products.

Today we talk to Chrissy, the victim of his hateful, sexist comments, and break down what actually happened. We are also joined in part by the man who helped break the story and who consequently has the most followers and fans out of anyone else involved, Coach JB included. NATE WOODRUFF.

Spoiler alert. This is a clear-cut case and the irony of calling your product Slapdick while acting like a total slapdick is absolutely hilarious. Coach JB elevated this situation and is doing everything possible to burn his own house down while accusing the world of a carefully coordinated competition assassination and clout chasing.

Side note. For everyone else besides the elephant in the room, I apologize for my hateful and petty comments.

And to Coach JB, Hey man. . . People who clout chase, usually chase someone with clout. That's not you.

No one knew you before this and no one will remember anything about you other than your hate-filled and sexist comments and a product pretending to be something it's not.

This week we catch up with Todd Grube. He makes his return to the show and we discuss his new job and a peculiar phenomenon in spirits that so few people are aware of.

This episode is not an attack at anyone directly but more of just a cathartic discussion over a little-known trend happening in Mexican spirits. This is sure to be polarizing but keep in mind the discussion isn't meant to be an attack on anyone specifically.

A cathartic time was had by all.

Mark Normand returns to the show to talk about the new Whiskey that he started with his partner and co-host of "We Might Be Drunk" Sam Morril.

Mark and Sam love the brown water and have spent the last few months working on a bottle of Rye Whiskey for the Everyman.

In typical comedic fashion, we barely discuss it!

This week I am rejoined also by frequent guest, headliner in his own right, and owner of the Secret Group in Houston, Andrew Youngblood.

We talk about everything from Cancel culture to vasectomies. A good time was had by all.

This week we bring back the great conversation we had with Matthew McConaughey on his new book Greenlights. We hate to miss this week but big things are coming. Please bear with us.

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.

Human's relationship with Alcohol is a fascinating one. This week I sit down with Edward Slinglerland to discuss his newest book, Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization

Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization

The war rages on in the great Tennessee Whiskey Bourbon debate.

For decades it has largely been a debate on one particular Tennessee Whiskey, Jack Daniels.

Well enter Player 2.

The genius mind that is Nicole Austin, General Manager and Head Distiller are George Dickel has led the charge in releasing the new 8yr. George Dickel Bourbon. A Bourbon Labeled product from George Dickel for the first time in decades is challenging the notion that Tennessee whiskey is NOT bourbon.

Well of course it is.

This week I sit down with Nicole to discuss the new product and to hit the discussion head on and hopefully in a way that has not yet been done before.

A good time was had by all.

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.

Over the last few years there are a handful of diehard bourbon hunters out there... less than you would think. People who take weeks and months off from work to travel all over North America visiting every single liquor store, one state at a time.

Today we sit down with one of those individuals. Todd Grube makes another appearance on the show as we talk to Robyn MacAdams. A dusty bourbon hunter who has visited every single liquor store in the state of Texas as he walks us through his methods, items he has found and how he covers the entire US, one state at a time.

A true and absolute crazy person always looking for his next big score and I am proud to call him a friend.

A good time was had by all.

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.

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.

I absolutely love the conversation that happens this week. I don't mean to be a Scrooge about Water but this is an important topic that is not discussed enough in America.

I sit down this week with the First Certified Water Sommelier in the world and the face of water in North America.

Martin Riese has made it his life mission to teach and educate on the most important liquid you put into your body.

A fantastic conversation ensues and I appreciate his time and effort on this endeavor greatly.

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.

This week Brendan Schaub takes a break from lockdown to come back on the show while he is in Town doing Stand up and he brought with him, his better half; The great and powerful Bryan Callen.

We walk through about a dozen different bottles and a half dozen spirits and do what we do best, talk trash.

Sold out 6 different shows and ran rampant through Houston's dynamic food scene at Truth BBQ and one of the best Steakhouses in the city, B & B Butchers.

In a recent article of Texas Monthly I was ask to provide my input on some of the best whiskies coming out of Texas.

Near the top of that list was Lone Elm.

Lone Elm has been making Wheat Whiskey in Texas for the last few years and we thought we could invite my good friend and fellow Houston Bourbon Society member, Quad Heinicken on the show to select a couple of barrels.

We are joined by Brandon Choate of Five Points Distilling.

For Years, Social Media has been a place for us to post pictures of our hobbies. Grilling, Shoes, Food, Whiskey, Cigars...... Guns.

In an age of our hobbies overlapping, we often see these things pictured together.

The Subject of Guns and Booze being pictured together is a hot topic with strong feelings on all sides of the argument.

Today We sit down and discuss how Todd and I feel personally on this phenomenon and how we handle it in Houston Bourbon Society.

This week I sit down with Houston Veteran Sommelier and Hugo Ortega's Right Hand, Sean Beck.

Sean has a breadth of knowledge unlike many and his perspective on the impact the Restaurant and Bar Scene has experienced due to Covid19 is definitely unique.

We sit down and have a few drinks and pontificate the like two lame dads have never done...

This week, we return after being gone for the last 3 weeks to talk about something important.

“Hey Guys, This is an important issue that needs to be supported.

In the past 2 months, Distilleries have donated nearly $6 Million in free hand sanitizer to first responders, front- line health care workers and essential business employees.

Especially here in Houston with distilleries like Gulf Coast, Whitmeyers and William Price.

• At the same time, These Texas distillers have added over $4 Million in additional expenses to produce sanitizer. • Collectively, distillery revenues for on-site sales have dropped 60-80% • These distilleries are NOT asking for a bail out.

We are asking for your help in petitioning the Governor to allow a temporary waiver of a few key rules in TABC code.

Simply go to the site, StillStrongTX.com and fill out the form.

Super easy then share this on your page! Help support those who have helped support us.”

So many people are being affected by COVID-19 and there seems to be no end in sight.

Few people are being affected as bad as those in the service industry.

We are rejoined all the way from episode 1 by Pasha Morshedi, Owner of Rosewater in Clear Lake.

A local establishment free from Dartboards but completely in purgatory due to the Houston Restaurant shut down.

We are also welcoming back our friend Dusti Rhodes. Local standup and Comedian who is also uniquely affected by this situation.

When it comes to Wine, Terroir is talked about and widely accepted.

Distilled spirits have adopted the term but is there any weight to this or is it just arbitrary marketing gobbledygook and sales gibberish meant to entice the consumer.

This week I sit down with two of Houston's major Whiskey Bar owner aficionados, Mike Raymond of Reserve 101 and Morgan Weber of Agricole hospitality group and owner of a brand new distillery in Marfa,Texas distilling our version of Sotol and eventually, Whiskey.

A spirited conversation to say the least over a few drams of the good stuff.

Meh, the truth is we were in the midst of talking to a player on a certain local sports team and then some news this week killed any chance of an interview happening any time soon.

Please, if you understand any part of this episode, understand this.

This episode we spend a significant amount of time talking about this incredible event last Saturday and how well it was executed and its ripple effect in the Facebook world quickly after.

This is not meant as a bragging point in any way for anything HBS has done but rather a thank you to Specs for this incredible event that has taken a long time to come to fruition.

Anything said on the subject is coming directly 1st hand and is meant to simply be positive and remarking on something that is simply remarkable.

Take it at face value and if you are in HBS. BE thankful.

This week, We sit down with Long time BOURBON friends, Todd and Mike for a simple but effective bottle share following an incredible event this past weekend with Specs in Houston.

How easy is it to legally be drunk? Surprisingly easy. Shockingly so. A DWI in Texas is on average a $10,000 uphill battle and a Job killer and for the Whiskey Hobbyist it's something we should really be aware of.

The rule of thumb is 1- 1oz drink 80 proof per hour, your body can process.

Well, how exactly does that work in a hobby where the standard pour size is atleast 1.5 oz and a significantly higher ABV than 80 proof.

This week we sit down with SGT Hill of the Deer Park Police department and 2 test subjects and we drink the average serving in 1.5 hours and test their BAC for the legal limit....the results, may surprise you.

I had the extreme pleasure of getting to sit down with the face of Bushmills, an Irishman with more charisma than an SNL Sketch with Alec Baldwin, Jack Ferris.

We sit down and taste through the core line of a classic Irish Single malt that has been distilling whiskey for longer than anyone else in the world.

I have often mentioned my appreciation for Bushmills and how I don't think they get quite the buzz they deserve in some circles. It was an honor and a pleasure.

A couple months ago, an ongoing issue that kept rearing its head in a local group that had a State wide impact, led to a fantastic phone call with the head of Devil's River Whiskey, Mike Cameron.

Devil's River Bourbon, a brand who prides itself on being from Texas, was at the center of a controversy surrounding their government approved labels and what was actually on the bottle.
