In this, the 166th installment of America's favorite boozy podcast, Dan is joined by two of America's booze treasures — the former host of "Booze Traveler" Jack Maxwell, and Joe Beatrice, founder of Barrell Craft Spirits. And have we mentioned the word "booze" enough yet? Well, just in case... booze, booze, booze. Lively banter flows like rye whiskey in this episode (as does actual rye whiskey), so pour yourself a glass and sit for a spell. It's time to have some fun!

Dan has a rollicking conversation with the great Gianni Russo, best known for playing Carlo Rizzi in "The Godfather," which is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
