New year, bad decisions.

Rob and Mark kick off 2026 by talking about why New Year’s resolutions usually fall apart, how ancient civilizations handled fresh starts, and why sometimes leaning into the wrong idea feels oddly right. Along the way, they crack open Darts from Lasso Motel Whiskey, a bold, slightly rebellious bourbon finished in Armagnac, sherry, and cognac casks.

The conversation wanders through medieval knights swearing vows over roasted peacocks, the strange origins of smoking, Hollywood’s role in turning cigarettes into symbols, and why whiskey doesn’t always need to behave itself to be good.
