At long last the elusive Johnny Jeffery joins the Still Talking team to chat about the rise and sale of Bently Heritage Estate Distillery, the art of co-founding distilling groups, Chat GPT, the AI takeover, and Dad Jokes.

It’s an early Festivus Day Miracle! Zeno is back with Colton and Brian to update the gang on rum production, fatherhood, and why Pittsburg is the heart of human culture and innovation.

Colton and Brian are back from Hiatus and introducing the Society of Spirit! Reade Huddleston joins to chat about the industry, the new Society group, and the brisk business of black market kidney sales.

In this update episode Colton and Zeno are joined by Brian’s hologram to discuss some happenings in the industry.  The hologram elaborates on some of Mr. Elon Musk’s personal services and the three discuss Diageo deciding to move on from a relationship.  

StillTalking aims to please listener; so this news is immensely topical and highly speculatory.  

 In this scandalously tantalizing episode the fellas bring on their new friend Tyler Derheim of FIVE x 5 Solutions.  Tyler explains his role as a consultant and how every distiller can more effectively tackle the great nuisance that we refer to as regulatory and compliance.

The fellas bring you tidbits of news that is questionably topical.  Amongst these morsels of information they also discuss Colton’s ability to lounge. barbeque recommendations, and the next big American spirit that isn’t rum. 

Raise the proverbial flag we completed two episodes in a row… kind of.  This tantalizing episode brings on Frenemy™ Rob Masters to discuss his completely original and fresh takes on spirit competitions.  Amongst these hot takes they also discuss spirit standards or the lack thereof, a bunch of sponsors that do not and most likely will not ever sponsor, and Zeno’s not so original celebrity doppelganger. Please excuse the various bird chirps they were necessary to edit some information out.

The guys return… or at least they did for this short episode.  

The fellas reminisce about finally being in the same place at the same time.  They also discuss the highlights of their respective time’s away, the most recent conference, the evolving format of the podcast, and Brian’s preferred method of removing trees.  

Colton and Brian are joined by Kevin Dunbar and Leah Hutchinson of Tapi to discuss closure needs and the state of supply chains in our covid world.  They also discuss what to lobby for next, Brian’s Mr. Congeniality award, Colton’s alcohol transportation experience early in his career, and the importance of lawyering up.  
Zeno was experiencing storms in his home of Atlantis and could not be present but the team made sure his timbre was kept alive in the episode.

FLATS RULE and drummies drool
