Episode 29: Remus Bourbon – A History Lesson
Bourbon Pilgrimages, Whiskey History Lessons, and Unhinged Media Takes
Greyson finally makes it back from his great pilgrimage to Sagamore Spirit, and instead of easing back in gently, immediately decides it’s time to educate Blake and Jared on the history of Remus. Whether they asked for it or not.
There’s bourbon and whiskey talk throughout. Bottles, rankings, opinions. Three guys reacting in real time, occasionally disagreeing, and occasionally getting distracted before finishing a thought.
Fred Minnick, Top 25 Lists, and Whiskey Opinions Nobody Asked For
We also get into Fred Minnick’s Top 25 Whiskies of 2025, which immediately turns into what you’d expect: agreement, confusion, side-eye, and a few “there’s no way that should be on the list” moments. Rankings are dangerous territory, especially when bourbon people are involved, and this episode leans into that chaos in the best way.
Valentine’s Day, the 2027 Super Bowl, and Questionable Life Choices
Somehow, Blake starts planning Valentine’s Day Super Bowl plans… in 2027. This includes, hypothetically, ditching our wives, which is floated confidently and immediately questioned. No real plans are formed, but the commitment to the bit is strong.
Quidditch Is Ridiculous and Jared Is Not Having It
Jared, battling what can only be described as black lung, launches into a rant about Quidditch — the sport, the concept, and the fact that it exists at all. It’s passionate and dumb, and fueled by illness, which somehow makes it better.
If you’ve ever had strong feelings about fictional sports being taken far too seriously in real life, this segment might feel oddly validating.
Pour something, hit play, and see where it lands.
