Ep 132: Talking Greenlights and Turkey with Matthew McConaughey

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.

Ep 125 Antony Starr talks "The Boys" Season 2

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.

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.
