This week I catch up with a long time friend, Morgan Weber. Founder of Marfa Spirits Company and someone who just released an absolute RARE offering unseen in today's spirits environment.  A Sub $50 1 liter 95 proof Sotol.  As many may remember I discussed the nonsense happening in the Mexican Spirits category a while back and the criminal behavior by some in this industry taking advantage of the category.  It was nice catching up.

170: Ep 170 Morgan Weber returns to talk Marfa Spirits Company.

This week I had the extreme pleasure to talk to Writer and Director John Pollono to discus his new film "Small Engine Repair" which will premiere Nationwide in Movie Theatres on September 10th. As a father of Teenage daughters I was enthralled by the film and just had to speak to him. A really down-to-earth guy who happens to be a father himself. This great film hit home for me and it was a delight to speak with him.  Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors.

169: Ep 169 "Small Engine Repair" Writer, Director John Pollono

Gather around family as we tell you a heartwarming story. One of Heroes and Villains. This story has everything. A High School Education, High Cholesterol, Haters, and the shortest tiniest attempt at a brand launch you have ever seen. Over the past two weeks, Netflix's "Last Chance U" Coach Jason Brown has completely gone off on someone for simply posting a picture of his product. No insults. No real negative comment was made by the OP. Just simply a picture of a product that he has named "Slapdick: Real Agave Whiskey" Since her post Coach JB has not only unleashed a plethora of sexist, overly graphic, perverse, and hateful comments aimed specifically at her, he has doxed her place of work and encouraged all of his followers to go over to her page and harass her all while accusing her of clout chasing.   This archaic and wildly inappropriate behavior is being ridiculed across the Whiskey World and has spawned a wave of support within the Whiskey Community in her direction and led to his distributor dropping him and his products. Today we talk to Chrissy, the victim of his hateful, sexist comments, and break down what actually happened. We are also joined in part by the man who helped break the story and who consequently has the most followers and fans out of anyone else involved, Coach JB included. NATE WOODRUFF. Spoiler alert. This is a clear-cut case and the irony of calling your product Slapdick while acting like a total slapdick is absolutely hilarious. Coach JB elevated this situation and is doing everything possible to burn his own house down while accusing the world of a carefully coordinated competition assassination and clout chasing. Side note. For everyone else besides the elephant in the room, I apologize for my hateful and petty comments. And to Coach JB, Hey man. . . People who clout chase, usually chase someone with clout. That's not you.  No one knew you before this and no one will remember anything about you other than your hate-filled and sexist comments and a product pretending to be something it's not.

168: Ep 168 Slapdick is NOT Whiskey and Bullies Suck.

This week we catch up with Todd Grube. He makes his return to the show and we discuss his new job and a peculiar phenomenon in spirits that so few people are aware of. This episode is not an attack at anyone directly but more of just a cathartic discussion over a little-known trend happening in Mexican spirits. This is sure to be polarizing but keep in mind the discussion isn't meant to be an attack on anyone specifically. A cathartic time was had by all.

162: Edward Slingerland and his new book: "Drunk"

The war rages on in the great Tennessee Whiskey Bourbon debate. For decades it has largely been a debate on one particular Tennessee Whiskey, Jack Daniels. Well enter Player 2. The genius mind that is Nicole Austin, General Manager and Head Distiller are George Dickel has led the charge in releasing the new 8yr. George Dickel Bourbon. A Bourbon Labeled product from George Dickel for the first time in decades is challenging the notion that Tennessee whiskey is NOT bourbon. Well of course it is. This week I sit down with Nicole to discuss the new product and to hit the discussion head on and hopefully in a way that has not yet been done before. A good time was had by all. Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors. Whiskey Neat is brought to you in part by Legent Bourbon - a first-of-its-kind super-premium bourbon that melds Kentucky distilling tradition with Japanese blending excellence. Legent is a perfectly balanced yet complex and layered whiskey with a bright, smooth, unexpectedly long finish. Order a bottle in your area via Drizly.com. Drink Smart. Whiskey Neat is also supported by the Inspired Spirits at Glass Rev Imports and Amrut Distilleries.
