The most unprofessional little podcast there ever was!
The most unprofessional little podcast there ever was!
EPISODE SUMMARY: The Bros break from their usual level of unprofessionalism and hit new heights—literally sniffing ammonia straight into their brains while debating whether 3I Atlas is a rock, a mothership, or just a government psyop to cover up Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Between nasal assaults, joiner jokes, and alien whiskey diplomacy, they still find time to discuss dead bodies, dental records, and why Jesus was probably just a carpenter with better tools.
boot.
Discussion of the body found near the high school leads to a forensic free-for-all.
“If you find bones and hair, maybe check for buried treasure.”
Also: D.B. Cooper resurfaces, sort of.

Drink of the week: Larceny Bourbon - Barrel Proof; We like our bourbon like we like our Judges!
The Whiskey Bros get historical—like, 1895 courthouse historical. We sit down with Wise County Judge, JD Clark, who somehow still has energy after wrangling the restoration of the Wise County Courthouse, now shining in all its granite-and-copper glory.
Between sips of barrel-proof Larceny, we climb the spiral stairs, ring a 130-year-old bell, and debate whether the courthouse qualifies as a castle (spoiler: the kids are right, it does). There’s laughter, a few architectural tangents, and maybe one too many jokes about bird poop and government drones—but beneath the whiskey haze is genuine civic pride.
This one matters. The courthouse isn’t just a building—it’s a living symbol of craftsmanship, community, and the kind of Texas history that deserves more than a passing glance. Our hope is that this episode gets folks out to see it, admire it, and remember that local heritage still has heartbeat—and a bell that rings on the hour.

Guest: Reinaldo “Ray” Medina — physics teacher, theologian, and proud Texas RicanDrink of the Night: Homemade Coquito — Puerto Rican holiday coconut cream and whiskey blend (Ray’s twist on the classic rum recipe)
Ray Medina, a physics teacher originally from Cayey, Puerto Rico, joins the Whiskey Bros at the table for a night of laughter, deep thought, and Coquito. The conversation opens lightheartedly – cigars lit, whiskey poured – but quickly moves into the meaningful terrain that defines a true Bros episode. Ray shares his journey from the mountains of Puerto Rico to the classrooms of North Texas, weaving a story of perseverance, faith, and cultural pride.
The group dives into Ray’s unique philosophy of teaching physics: that conceptual understanding must come before calculation. For him, math is not the purpose of learning but the language through which we express the truths of the physical world. His reflections on how math connects to thinking – and how students learn to “translate” ideas through it – become one of the evening’s highlights.
From there, the Bros and Ray explore Puerto Rico’s history and the island’s complicated relationship with the United States. Ray describes a nation both vibrant and restrained — culturally rich, but politically caught between dependence and autonomy. His firsthand account of bureaucracy, corruption, and the lingering colonial hangover contrasts beautifully with his love for Puerto Rican food, family, and music.
Ray’s storytelling opens windows into island life – from the sound of Caribbean rhythms and the smell of roasting pork to the political lessons written into its soil. Between sips of Coquito, the conversation ranges from theology to colonial policy, from salsa to Pentecostalism, from hurricanes to independence. By the time the glasses empty, the listener feels they’ve traveled – not just to Puerto Rico, but through the living philosophy of a man who bridges science, spirit, and soul.

Drink of the Week: Bad Bitch Rum from the #Unprofessionals
The OG Whiskey Bros are back—no guests this week, just the three of them with a hefty sack of gifts from listeners. They crack into bottles of Bad Bitch Rum from Key West, swap stories about Spanish Marie, and argue whether it smells more like Sharpies or super glue.
From there, the conversation spirals: Michigan church shootings, Iraqi war vets, and the “degrees of horrific” when violence escalates. They debate conspiracies around Charlie Kirk, question official narratives, and invent the codeword “cookie butter” for a certain country. Occam’s Razor makes a cameo, but so do poop knives, Trader Joe’s cookie butter, and why dippers use paper towels in their spit cups.
Somewhere between speculating on drones at rallies and laughing about knives made for slicing turds, the bros reflect on whether the world is safer now than ever, or just more exposed.
One thing’s for sure: whether it’s rum, whiskey, or conspiracy fuel, this episode is equal parts hilarious, irreverent, and unsettlingly deep.

Drink of the evening: Cabresto Canyon Agave Spirit by Red River Distillery
Shout out: Wendell Wiggins for the Awesome shirts! Our Unprofessionals love us!
The WhiskeyBros roll into this one already half-fixed and fully feral, welcoming the “Meggins”—Nichols and Golden (aka Ponyboy)—to the table. Between fertility jokes, shoutouts to fan-made shirts, and a crash course on how not to Google “donkey punch,” the crew stumbles into the weirdly wholesome origin of Ponyboy’s name, the messy brilliance of The Edge of Okay podcast, and why external validation is a hell of a drug.
Shots of tequila and moonshine keep the honesty flowing: we get tales of dream jobs hawking luggage on QVC, picking up women in farm trucks, testosterone pellets in asses (and why that clip alone belongs on social media), and a very graphic crash course in “gentleman vs. mama’s boy alpha male.” By the time they’re debating whether chivalry is dead, the bros are half-convinced that being a “f-ckable Ms. Frizzle” might actually be a viable brand strategy.
Somewhere between finance hacks, parenting wisdom, and suicidal Shania Twain karaoke flashbacks, the WhiskeyBros prove—once again—that nothing is off limits when whiskey, women, and wild honesty are on the table.
The Bros come in hot on this one—FireBro, SavageBro, The Chief, and Dark Doc wrestle with the biggest themes yet: good, evil, submission, and how all of it bleeds into marriage, politics, and spiritual life.
They kick off with some banter about recording mishaps and Doc’s sun-soaked arrival fresh off a cruise, then dive headfirst into the heavy stuff. The assassination of Charlie Kirk serves as a flashpoint, sparking raw reflections on political violence, cancel culture flipping back on itself, and the unsettling loss of respect for human life.
The Chief frames it as a moral and spiritual war—values being murdered alongside the man. SavageBro and FireBro point out the dangers of censorship, mob celebration of violence, and how ideologies can become “possessions” that blind people to basic humanity. Reuben brings a global perspective, noting that political violence is nothing new in places like Africa but raises the concern: is America heading down the same path?
The Bros don’t shy away from cultural flashpoints—gender ideology, family structure, free speech, and faith all get laid bare. The tone is fiery but heartfelt: an urgent plea not to grow numb, not to let evil slide in by small degrees, and not to let the war for souls be mistaken for just politics.
By the end, the conversation circles back to the home front—how husbands and wives navigate submission, strength, and spiritual leadership in marriage. It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s the Bros at their rawest: calling out darkness while wrestling with their own role in fighting for the good.

This episode marks a sincere turn for the Whiskey Bros. We sat down once again with Lane Akin—retired Wise County Sheriff, lifelong lawman, and now author of The Point. Unlike our usual antics, this conversation leans heavy, and for good reason.
Lane joined us to reflect on a career spanning more than fifty years, the community that stood with him through both triumph and tragedy, and the personal journey of turning field notes and undercover experiences into a book that’s already become a part of local history. We also celebrated the release of the audiobook—months in the making—produced right here with the Bros.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
This isn’t comedy hour. It’s a chance to honor a man, his work, and the State that shaped him. Pull up a chair, pour something strong, and sit with us as we go deeper into The Point.

Whiskey of the Week: Balcones True Blue (Blue Corn Whiskey) — butterscotch, vanilla tasting notes. Firebro pours his out in disgust. Also sampled – Red River Distillery’s Vermejo Añejo agave spirit (aka “not-tequila tequila”).
The Bros kicked things off with their usual mix of raunch and banter, warning listeners (again) not to look up “donkey punch.” They joked about becoming feminists with back-to-back female guests, then welcomed Amanda Black (returning) and Crystal Cardwell (mayor of Newark).
Conversation roamed through Boyd speed traps, regional quirks (is it “flip” or “flick” someone off?), and Florida vs Texas Gulf Coast beaches — with a joke that “Trump renamed it the Gulf of America.”
Big highlight: Camp Quit Your Bitchin’ — a new glamping resort on Lake Bridgeport with stagecoach cabins, futuristic vessels, saloon, beer garden, and tetherball. Its grand opening hits Labor Day weekend. Guest Crystal’s marketing firm Pugnacious drives their campaigns, with a fiery, media-savvy approach that could boost shows like Whiskey Bros.
Side trails included aviation streaming apps, small-plane claustrophobia, and fishing nostalgia. All delivered in the Bros’ trademark style: local politics + whiskey + unapologetic humor.

The Bros crack open another round of pure unprofessionalism with special guest Kristal Campbell (plus her husband, posted up on the infamous casting couch for protection).
In a fun-filled turn-around, Kristal is here armed and ready to interview the Whiskey Bros for a change!
Whiskey of the Week: Larceny Barrel Proof (Batch A125, 125 proof, because numbers matter when you’re slurring them).
Highlights include:
In short: wine was spilled, whiskey was worshipped, questions were asked, and dignity was lost. Just another week with the Whiskey Bros.

Drink of the Night: Marker Cellars Red – deep ruby, caramel hints (fight over the pronunciation).
The Bros are back, sipping on Marker Cellars red (out of anything but wine glasses, of course) and catching up after a summer hiatus that may or may not have involved Clyde’s mysterious vacation. Doc starts slurring his words, one glass in. We wander from wine reviews to war games, from public school rants to homeschooling hacks, and somehow end up debating AI dance teachers and audiobook robot overlords.

Recorded after a blind whiskey tasting at Trinity Street Coffee Bar – Decatur, TX
Whiskey of the Week: High West’s American Prairie Bourbon — an old favorite makes a triumphant return (even if its cork didn’t survive). Bonus content: how to extract a broken cork like a real DIY whiskey bro.
In this post-tasting debrief, the Bros reflect on their blindfolded stumble through 250 bottles of brown water — and yes, they nailed at least one. Expect hilarious breakdowns of failed guesses, proud moments of palate precision, and an existential reckoning with how impossible it is to truly identify whiskey in the dark.
Highlights Include:
Blind Tasting Debrief: With over 250 bottles on deck, the Bros recount their attempts to identify mystery pours by nose, proof, and pure intuition. Spoiler: Still Austin Cask Strength Rye won the crowd.
Gut Talk & Gardens: One whiskey too many sparks a deep dive into gut health, microbiomes, and “reestablishing your garden.” Featuring unsolicited GI wisdom, angry stools, and a surprising endorsement of Atrantíl.
Conspiracy Corner: From the missing Epstein list to a forensic nose analysis of “Epstein’s corpse” — the Bros go full tinfoil. Featuring: The Nose Knows™, Amazon, flooding, and why Clyde is on thin ice.
Disclaimer: A doctor was present, but absolutely no medical advice was given. (Or taken.)

Guest: Monty Caraway – Certified Unprofessional
Whiskey of the Week: Whistle Pig Estate Oak Rye (15 yr) and Still Austin Red Corn Bourbon – So good we let Monty finish the bottle off
What starts as a busted audio setup and some producer bashing (🖕 Clyde) quickly spirals into a wide-ranging romp through whiskey reviews, fatherly wisdom, economic rants, hell-on-earth theology, and swamp-surrounded immigration detention centers. Special guest Monty Caraway joins the Bros to share stories of love, financial hardship, and what it means to suffer well – with a side of dark humor and bourbon.

Guest: Austin Mago – Certified Arborist, Bowyer, Tree Whisperer, Possibly a Druid
Whiskey of the Week: Still Austin Red Corn Bourbon – 100 proof and smoother than your Uncle’s bad decisions
Episode Summary:
Grab a glass and brace your roots—this episode is one for the dendro-spiritual record books. The Bros sit down with Austin Mgo, a certified arborist who doesn't just cut trees… he communes with them. Part chainsaw surgeon, part philosopher-monk, Austin takes us on a journey through dying oaks, resurrected root systems, zombie fungi, prosthetic chainsaw arms, and why some trees just might feel things.
It’s funny, weird, and unexpectedly touching. You’ll laugh. You might cry. You’ll definitely reconsider flipping off your neighbor’s live oak. Also: if you ever wanted to hear the phrase “treeporn.com” explained with sincerity, this is your moment.

🧠💥🔥💀🍞🥃
This might be the most Unprofessional episode yet.
FireBro is back from his Chicago rally (no kings, lots of bricks), SeeingBro is still sweating through armpit discourse, and ClydeBro gets relentlessly hazed (but also kinda nails it). And then… they eat. Bread, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. For like fifteen minutes. But make no mistake: it’s high art.
Highlights include:
🍞 Bread was broken. Feelings were not.
🎯 Closing thoughts include the pros and cons of being full of saturated fats vs Jack in the Crack tacos, whether we’re over Hitler jokes, and the impossibility of trusting news without accidentally becoming a conspiracy theorist.

With Fire Bro missing in action (possibly deported?), the remaining Whiskey Bros—Doc, Savage Bro, and Clyde-Bro (behind the scenes)—ride solo into a night of pure unsupervised unprofessionalism.
From sushi chef gender conspiracies to a half-brilliant Tesla-based ride-share grift, this episode delivers 100+ minutes of brain-melting brilliance, topped with a challenge to name what you call a female sushi chef and how to escape a flaming electric coffin.
Key Topics:
Upcoming merch giveaway rules & the announcement of “Deep Thoughts from Doc”
What do AI, balsamic vinegar, prostate cancer, and 1970s Yukons have in common? Apparently, all of them are part of America’s collapse—and the Whiskey Bros are here to document it.
After a two-week hiatus, the Bros return like a heat stroke in May—sweaty, skeptical, and full of fresh conspiracy meat. Fire Bro reveals his recent cardiac scare and radical lifestyle shift (no alcohol, sugar, or caffeine...but still lots of whiskey samples). Doc gets ambushed about skipping a recital. Heath questions AI video realism and how it might tie back to the moon landing. Also, Clyde gets roasted hard for putting 'Birds Aren't Real' back on the notes.

Buckle up, you beautiful degenerates, because the Whiskey Bros are back with Episode 121, and we’ve got Ty Rambo in the house—again! That’s right, the man who drinks like a Viking and wakes up at 5 AM like he’s got a meeting with Thor himself. This episode is a masterclass in why you should never trust your taste buds when they’re blindfolded (or drunk).
We kicked things off by revisiting our blind whiskey tasting, and oh boy, did it expose some truths. Old Rip Van Winkle? More like Old Rip-Off Winkle. Who knew the fancy bottle could taste like a $500 disappointment? Meanwhile, Evan Williams White Label came in like a champ, proving that sometimes the underdog is just better at playing the game. Cognitive bias? More like cognitive "bias against cheap whiskey."
But we didn’t stop there. We dove into the deep end of life’s big questions: Why does God let bad things happen? Is free will just an excuse for bad decisions? And why are beauty pageants still a thing? (Spoiler: they’re not, they’re just an excuse for fake tans and incoherent answers about maps.)
Locally, we’re still salty about Decatur’s parking lot drama. Paid parking? In our town? We suggested a hayride from the cigar lounge to the square—because why walk when you can hayride, right?
And let’s not forget the pinnacle of human achievement: automatic toilet seats. Why haven’t we cracked this code yet? We’re out here with self-driving cars, but we can’t get a toilet that doesn’t leave us doing the limbo every time we sit down. (Pro tip: don’t pee on your hands, folks—it’s a slippery slope.)
So, grab your favorite pour—maybe something from Buffalo Trace if you’re feeling fancy, or Evan Williams if you’re feeling smart—and join us for a wild ride through whiskey, wisdom, and way too many toilet jokes.

In this gloriously unprofessional episode, the Bros and special guest Ty Rambo attempt a blind tasting showdown between high-end and low-end whiskeys — and chaos absolutely ensues. Featuring pours from Pappy Van Winkle, Old St. Nick, Booker's, E.H. Taylor, Buffalo Trace, Early Times, Evan Williams Bottled in Bond, and Longbranch — the night spirals into intense debates about tasting notes, trash talking, philosophical reflections on drinking culture, and the official coronation of our audience as The Unprofessionals. Some whiskeys soared, some legends crumbled... and at some point, microplastic cleanse theories and heated debates over driveway weeds somehow entered the chat. If you’ve ever wondered whether taste, price, and reputation actually matter—or if you just want to hear grown men nearly come to blows over cinnamon notes—this is your episode. Dead bottles everywhere. Reputations nowhere to be found. Welcome to the way whiskey was meant to be judged: unfiltered, unapologetic, and beautifully unprofessional.

This week, we sit down with Ben Outland of Outland Insurance Agency, and we barely talk about insurance—on purpose. Instead, this episode takes a wild turn through Europe, polio, poetry, peptides, and posterior caffeine experiments. You know... typical Whiskey Bros territory.
We learn that the Rotary Club isn't just for old dudes with name tags—it actually started in 1905 in Chicago and helped fight polio before pivoting to things like community service and spring festivals with funnel cake.
We wrestle with:
Also:
And finally, we raise a glass (and our hands—even Doc is segue-trained now) to the Wise County Rotary Spring Eventhappening April 26th. All day. Funnel cake pending.
