Lumpy and X are talking shit and sipping on a stellar lineup of whiskey!
They start with a "dangerous drinker," Company Distilling Straight Tennessee Whiskey Finished with Applewood, and discuss the unique Lincoln County Process that mellows the spirit. Then, the guys try a high-proof Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Proof store pick, using it to demonstrate the "magic" of the Whiskey Grail and how it can tame the heat of cask-strength pours.
The final pour is Widow Jane Lucky 13, a 13-year-old, 93 proof bourbon. They explore its unique taste profile, which features notes of pecan pie, vanilla bean, and birch beer, and its connection to the Rosendale Mines of New York.
Plus, X shares the history of the new Bourbon Trading Cards from The Bourbon Don, and they discuss X's classic car project—a 1950 Chevy Styleline and the electrical woes of a 2003 Ford Thunderbird—all from the comfort of the 35-foot Winnebago studio!
The glasses are full and the mics are hot as General X and Lumpy dive into another round of bourbon, dad life, and chaos management. From killer pours to curve-ball conversations, it’s equal parts smooth and unfiltered. Laughs, lessons, and a few surprises—because on this show, the plan is no plan.
Explicit content. Sip responsibly and share the vibe.
Bourbon pops, travel tales, dance-dad origins, and a tool-nerd victory lap—Episode 4 brings heat, laughs, and a surprisingly creamy 90-proof finish.
Better to be seen than viewed—and definitely better with a pour. In “Got Juice?” X and Lumpy go balls-deep into bourbon culture: a Kenny’s Liquors field report, recent unicorn pours (GTS 116.9, Saz 18, Handy), and a head-to-head of Knob Creek 9-Year vs 12-Year—same proof, wildly different finish. We also tackle the “juice” debate: is shorthand cringe or just shop talk distillers use too? Plus: allocated vs everyday bottles (how to enjoy amazing whiskey without secondary madness), a shout to the bourbon TikTok community, and X’s viral OSU post that, uh… “prematurely ranked.”
Grab a Glen, light a stick if that’s your thing, and hang with us. The best juice is what you like.
In Episode 2 of Talking Shit Today, General X and Lumpy raise a glass to American single malts and dive into Mammoth’s bold hazmat rye. Between pours, they swap stories of BMX bikes, Atari marathons, and toys that didn’t survive childhood mayhem. Then the convo swerves into today’s hot topic: AI — what it gets right, what it screws up, and how it’s reshaping work and play.
It’s whiskey, wit, and wandering down memory lane — with plenty of shit talk along the way.
In their debut episode, Lumpy and General X pull up their Glencairns, pour a few bourbons, and let the conversation flow. From swapping backstories as dance dads and proud Gen X-ers, to diving deep into their shared bourbon obsession, the guys cover favorite bottles, overrated pours, and hidden gems worth hunting down. Along the way, they trade laughs over overpriced Blanton’s, poke fun at pretentious tasting notes, and give props to brands that stand behind their products. Whether you’re here for whiskey talk, dad humor, or just two friends riffing on life, you’ll leave feeling like you crashed a very entertaining dinner party.
