How do you prepare for Christmas during the Advent season? What are some of your family traditions? How do you keep your children focused on Christmas during the holiday madness? We discuss this while sipping on Kentucky Owl Wiseman Bourbon. Plus, David tells a ridiculous story on how he acquired a bench vise this week.

Advent Traditions

Promoting the virtuous life. 
Adam and David have been best friends for 30 years and love being Catholic, husbands, and fathers. They enjoy whisky, beer, bacon, flamethrowers, St. Thomas Aquinas, virtue, true leisure, and authentic friendship.
The show is typically broken down into 3 segments - A drink, a gear, and a topic.  
We are on the Lord's team. The winning side. So raise your glass. #CheerstoJesus
