For our debut episode, Eric and Chris waste no time proving we have absolutely zero interest in staying on one topic. We kick things off with historic speeches and why some of them still hit harder than anything being said today.

From there, we drift into life updates, our favorite movies, and the TV shows currently occupying the little free time we have.

Naturally, things take a turn. We talk about Maryland’s state flag (which still looks like a medieval battle banner), swap parenting war stories, and pitch a completely questionable side hustle involving hornet’s nests. It’s entrepreneurial, it’s dangerous, it’s… very on-brand.

Since it’s our first official episode, we also dive into the kind of current events and media nonsense you can expect from this show—talking about bias, journalistic “integrity,” and the stuff that annoys us just enough to rant about it.

And of course, there’s bourbon: favorites, flavors, Prohibition trivia, and why some bottles taste like smooth caramel magic while others taste like regret aged in oak.

It’s chaotic, unfiltered, occasionally insightful, and the perfect preview of what this podcast is going to be.
