Ep. 7: A Gaggle of Wild Turkeys – Smoking Partagas & Hunting with Chris Nischan
Two Guys on a Porch welcomes their first-ever guest, and it’s a wild one—literally. This episode is a gaggle of tasting, smoking, and laughing as Jason and Bradford pour not one, but four different Wild Turkeys while reminiscing about the great outdoors, the passion of hunting, and the surprising vulnerability that comes with good friends and good bourbon. Joining the porch is Chris Nischan, Tennessee's premier fishing and hunting guide and Field & Stream’s 2004 Total Outdoorsman. Chris shares stories about hunting, being real, and embracing life’s adventures. Spoiler: While nobody on the porch is actually dumb, there’s plenty of hilarity as the conversation veers into “legal schmeagle” and “always by the rules” territory. The cigar of choice? The Partagas de Bronce, a masterpiece featuring Nicaraguan tobacco and a corojo-seed wrapper. With roots dating back to 1845 in Cuba, this cigar brings a bold flavor to complement the bourbon lineup. And speaking of bourbon, the pours are a celebration of Wild Turkey’s legacy. From the iconic Jimmy Russell—who was bourbon before bourbon was cool—to Jason’s “vintage” Wild Turkey 80 proof straight from a fraternity brother’s stash in 1989. The lineup includes: • Wild Turkey Master’s Keep Voyage, aged in rum casks  • Wild Turkey 101 • Jimmy Russell’s Limited Edition 70th Anniversary 8-Year Small Batch • Wild Turkey 80 Proof (a.k.a. a frat-tastic throwback) This bourbon was actually name named after a memorable wild turkey hunting trip. This episode is equal parts insight, laughter, and bourbon-fueled camaraderie. Whether you're a hunter, a bourbon lover, or just enjoy a good laugh, grab a pour, light a cigar, and join the gaggle.

Ep. 6: "Deserve’s Got Nothing to Do with It” – Unforgiven, Jack, Four Roses, & Store Brand Cigars
In this episode of Two Guys on a Porch, we dive deep into the ultimate Western, - Unforgiven.  Exploring the film’s portrayal of complex characters who are just human, Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Morgan Freeman bring to life a gritty, no-holds-barred look at a world where there are no easy answers, and we all carry our flaws. We talk single barrel whiskey and compare Jason’s Jack Daniels Single Barrel and Four Roses' unique use of 10 different bourbon recipes for their single barrel. What are the corn mash differences? Ever wondered why single barrel whiskey is so special? We explain how bourbon is usually a blend, but when you get a single barrel, it’s all about the unique character of one barrel, influenced by the rickhouse placement and mash bill. We light up a couple of store-label cigars, sharing our thoughts on the experience with a guillotine cut. Will it pass the highly-regarded—scientific taste test of “Cat Shit breath in the morning”? Like the characters in Unforgiven, we all have our share of failings, but there’s something undeniably honest about how we all make our way through this rough world. This is another reason we need friends. Join us as we discuss life, whiskey, cigars, and the modern Western that challenges what we think we know about good, evil, and redemption.

Just in time for the 2024 Championship race, Episode Five of Two Guys on a Porch, take some serious left turns as Jason and the fedora-wearing Bradford go head-to-head on who’s really number one. With a pour of Rebel 100 bourbon in hand, they hit the “track” in a lively debate about NASCAR, the ties between brain surgery and driving at 200 mph, Michael Jordan’s surprising stake in racing, and legends like Darrell Waltrip. They dive into the roots of NASCAR—from bootleggers outrunning the law with a trunk full of moonshine to the evolution of one of America’s fastest, most loyal sports. It’s a journey through the days of Dale Earnhardt Sr., Richard Childress, and Richard Petty, with tales of “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” for Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, and more. Before they head back to the pits they test track racing-fuel-clear bourbon Buffalo Trace’s White Dog. But it’s not all tire smoke! With a Tim Ozgener cigar in hand, they up the stakes and let the conversation roll. So kick back, spark up, and share this episode with friends you’d want in your own pit crew.

Ep: 4 Burning Nose Hairs:  Extremes in the Opus of Culture, Blanton’s and Willet

Ep: 4 Burning Nose Hairs: Extremes in the Opus of Culture, Blanton’s and Willet
Episode Four of Two Guys on a Porch might singe their noses as Jason and the always-entertaining Bradford uncork a high-proof heavy hitter: a rare 142.4-proof Willett and Jason’s prized Blanton’s. Sometimes, you 'gotta have a guy' who knows how to score the good stuff. Is it better than Pappy? Well, that depends on who you ask— They dive into extremes of all kinds, from the fiery pours in their glasses to the red-hot rhetoric of Fox, CNN, and the latest season of political drama. In a world where one channel's “fiery truth” is another’s “nuanced spin,” they sip and debate what really goes down best—whether in whiskey or in the nightly news.  Meanwhile, Jason can’t resist hoarding his Blanton’s, while they chat about the merits of bold, in-your-face spirits versus the subtle elegance of more balanced pours. Kevin’s Catalog gets a mention as Jason has on one of his favorite shirts. Their conversation also takes a deeper, more introspective turn with the ultimate extreme: God’s unconditional love. It’s a topic that stirs up reflections on grace, the depth of forgiveness, and the idea that no matter how many mistakes you make, there’s still a place for you on the porch.  Between sips, they light up Bradford’s go-to cigar—Opus X—letting the rich smoke mingle with their bourbon musings. If you’re after sharp humor, whiskey wisdom, and a few unexpected surprises, Episode Four delivers it all—strong drinks, deep conversation, and plenty of laughs. So pour yourself a glass, light up, and settle in for the ride. Cheers!

Episode Three of Two Guys on a Porch cranks up the heat as Jason and the wildly entertaining Bradford uncork Sweetens Cove—including the rare Sweetens Cove 22.

Jason even confesses to the biggest thing he’s ever had in his mouth—as between sips they cut and fire up Cigar Aficionado’s constant #1 Winner My Father The Judge cigars. The conversation ramps up further as the guys tackle everything from marijuana to a playful take on why Adderall and Viagra “help”.

Ep. 2: Presidents and Pouring Jack: Personalties Between The Lines
On episode two of Two Guys On A Porch, friends Jason and Bradford turn up the heat with a lively discussion on the personalities of Presidents—from the differing charms of Kennedy and Trump to the personas of Obama and Nixon. As they cut and light up the Arturo Fuente “Between the Lines” cigar, they savor the bold flavors while musing over the politics of telegenics, influence, and more. The guys also sample three Jack Daniel’s expressions: the Sinatra Select, Bonded, and the smooth #27 Gold, crowning it all with a toast to the legend himself, Frank Sinatra—who learned to enjoy Jack with good company alongside Jackie Gleason. With a nod to the “two worst candidates ever” of 2016 and some word-salad moments reminiscent of today’s headlines, they explore what “generational Presidents” have in common. They also dive into Kamala Harris’ rise in politics and the “word-salad” moments of modern-day campaigns. Whether you’re here for the connections, the laughs, the history, or the latest Whiskey Advocate of the Year, this episode brings it all. Grab a glass, settle in, and enjoy the ride as they uncover why opposites attract, tackle political myths, and wonder who’s really listening to the handlers behind the scenes. Cheers!
