Whiskey Bros Around The Table

Whiskey Bros — “Say It Like You Mean It (But Probably Wrong)”

In tonight’s culinary chaos, the Bros try their hand (and fail spectacularly) at pronouncing DFW’s top restaurants—from Thai to sushi to whatever the hell “Zaap” is. With a steady pour and a healthy disrespect for phonetics, we tackle food lists that were clearly made to humble us.

🍣 Best Sushi Around DFW? We butcher the names and still get hungry. 🌶️ Top Thai Spots? We summon the ghost of Pad Thai just to apologize. 🍕 Italian Icons? Somehow everything becomes “Giovanni’s.” 🥯 Bagels? Yes, and even those give us trouble. 🔥 BBQ and Steakhouses? We make you wait ‘til the end for the real meat of the episode.

If you’ve ever wondered what it sounds like when three dudes try to review global cuisine without ever leaving North Texas… this is your episode. Also: bring a map, a dictionary, and maybe a priest.

In this episode, the Bros welcome Jeff Jones, CFO of Twisted X, co-owner of Virgil Leather Company, and unofficial world champion of “How Many Roles Can One Man Wear Without Imploding.”

We kick things off with Jeff’s first unforgettable pair of boots—the kind that imprints on your soul (or sole). From there, we lace up and walk through the full journey of a Twisted X, from dirt to design to Decatur, Texas. Along the way, Jeff drops knowledge on the boot industry’s biggest misconceptions, why material sourcing matters, and how they’re crafting boots that are both eco-friendly and built like tanks.

Are boots symbolic of something deeper? Rebellion? Resilience? Righteousness? We ask Jeff if he’s not just making footwear—but maybe, just maybe—mending souls while he’s at it.

We also dive into:

• Timeless styles that never quit
• Features you probably missed but definitely appreciate
• What it’s like to work with the legends over at Virgil Leather Co.
• And a few unexpected folks who proudly rock Twisted X (hint: it’s not just cowboys).

Plus: Jeff gives us a taste of his work with Summit Coaching, we question whether Western wear is evolving or cosplaying, and the episode ends with a healthy reminder that some men don’t just walk the walk—they build the boots for the journey.

In this week’s episode of Whiskey Bros Around the Table, things go off the rails in the best way possible. We start by questioning whether gravity is even real, and somehow end up inventing a brand-new product that may or may not change the world (or at least your Friday night).

A huge shoutout to Phillip in Colorado for the epic voicemails—your hat’s coming, brother.

We peel back the absurdity of American roofing materials and ask the hard questions: Is tar paper just a scam? Why aren’t we building like we mean it? From there, things get deeply strange with the age-old biological bombshell: Are we all actually female? You’ll have to hear it to believe it.

Dr. Savage returns to the mic with wisdom, fire, and just the right amount of absurdity as we tackle three listener questions—including the real cost of eating healthy, kids on social media, and a relationship situation that’s... let's just say “tense.”

We also float into conspiratorial territory with the classic: What’s a conspiracy theory you don’t believe but kinda wish was true? And finally, we reflect on time, growth, and absurdity by asking: What would young you think of current you sitting around mics talking about this nonsense?

Grab a drink. Take a seat. Welcome to the swirling philosophical chaos that is another night with the Bros.

In this wild and hilarious episode, we sit down with the team from Virgil Leather to dive into the world of leatherworking and craftsmanship. From discussing the fine art of creating custom leather pieces to exploring the challenges artisans face in a world saturated with mass-produced goods, this episode celebrates the dedication and skill of true craftsmen.

And because we can’t help ourselves, we also veer into some unexpected territory—like the hypothetical (and slightly disturbing) concept of leather made from a man’s testicles. Yes, really. Plus, we take a detour into honey badger lore and the evolution of merchandise that blends craftsmanship with a bit of irreverence.

Join us for a ride through stories, laughter, and a celebration of the hands-on artistry that’s at risk of fading in today’s consumer culture. Whether you’re a leather aficionado or just love good storytelling, this episode’s got something for everyone!

Buckle up, folks! This episode is a wild ride through whiskey-fueled debates, questionable life choices, and breaking news from the Great White North. We kick things off by taste-testing Archetype Smoked Gin from Vail—because nothing says sophisticated like a drink that reminds you of a campfire.

Then, we break down the most recent windstorm that absolutely sucked, debate whether Canada just won the trade war by threatening to block Pornhub (seriously, is this a 4D chess move?), and question whether Oak Island ever actually found anything besides more hype.

Meanwhile, Doc's officially a Tesla Nazi (his words, not ours), and Savage Bro just bought a welder, so obviously, he's now identifying as a certified badass. Finally, we explore the ancient art of eating animal eyeballs, because nothing says alpha energy like staring back at your food as you eat it.

Pour yourself a drink, hit play, and join the madness!

The Whiskey Bros gather around the table for another unfiltered conversation, jumping from local furniture shop insanity to the political upheaval on Facebook and Twitter as power shifts from Biden to Trump. They reflect on the world’s psycho moment—COVID, ivermectin debates, and the media’s role in shaping public perception. Meanwhile, Decatur, TX, gets a ball field makeover, and the guys debate whether Blanton’s whiskey smells like grandma’s perfume (and if that’s a compliment or an insult). Things take a deeper turn with Duncan Trussell’s discussion on Ibogaine, leading straight into a raw exploration of Christianity—what’s it all about?

From there, the Bros ponder whether cable, satellite, and radio have a shot at making a comeback, and if VHS stores could rise again like vinyl. A post from James Lindsay sparks a dive into social media’s dark side—does it select for Cluster B personalities? It’s a wild, whiskey-fueled ride through the absurd, the serious, and everything in between.

In this expansive and thought-provoking discussion, we sit down with Matt Fisher, the founder of Trinity Street Coffee, Voltage Coffee, West Oak Coffee in Denton, and Kimzey’s in Argyle. What begins as a journey through Matt’s evolution from firefighter to coffee entrepreneur quickly turns into something much deeper—a reflection on business, philosophy, and the interconnected worlds of coffee, whiskey, and human experience.

We start with the origins of Trinity Street Coffee—how it came to be, where it’s headed, and the challenges of shipping coffee across the world. From there, the conversation unfolds into the evolution of the Trinity Street Restaurant, the economic forces shaping coffee prices and tariffs, and even the science and soul of brewing the perfect cup.

But this isn’t just a coffee talk. Just when you think you've mapped the terrain of the discussion, we venture into whiskey’s unexpected role in shaping Matt’s vision for Trinity Street.

In one of the most unexpected turns, the conversation shifts to the Bible—not as dogma, but as a profoundly humanizing text that speaks to the struggles, contradictions, and beauty of being alive.

So pour yourself a strong cup, maybe a neat pour of whiskey, and settle in for a rich, winding conversation that blends business, travel, philosophy, and the pursuit of something real.

This week, we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Kory Walker, the ink-slinging mastermind behind Decatur Tattoo. How did a guy like Kory end up in Decatur, Texas? Spoiler alert: it involves good decisions, great tattoos, and a dash of serendipity. We dig into the tattoo craze sweeping the world—what’s driving it, and why people are so hooked on permanent doodles. Kory shares his favorite styles and his inspirations. Plus, we tackle the age-old debate: when does ink cross the line from masterpiece to “maybe that’s too much”

🎙️ In this PMS (Positive Media Segment, but honestly, we know what you were thinking), we dive deep into the sticky swamp of human cognition with the brilliant Sandra Duffer. Ever feel like your brain’s a hamster on a wheel of doom? That’s negative psychological spirals. Or maybe it’s a parasitic thought process leeching your mental peace—fun, right? And don’t forget reciprocal narrowing, where misery really does love company.

Fear not, dear listener. Sandra helps us figure out how to spot these mental traps and, more importantly, how to escape them without needing a tinfoil hat or exorcism. It’s a lively mix of laughs, insights, and maybe one or two inappropriate jokes. Tune in, and let’s make overthinking just a bit less miserable!

Welcome, degenerate scholars and lovers of questionable hygiene practices, to another wild ride through the warped minds of the Whiskey Bros! Tonight, we serve up a smorgasbord of spicy topics, gooey rants, and doughy takes that are as tough to chew as sourdough itself.

We kick things off with Winter Weather and Electric Vehicles—because nothing says "progress" like a frozen EV stuck in a snowbank while you hoof it to Starbucks for a $7 hot chocolate.

Then there’s Facebook, the platform that finally admitted to censoring. In a plot twist no one saw coming, they’re moving to Texas! Probably to taste-test BBQ or avoid another congressional grilling.

Next, we delve into the Iron Mountain Report, because nothing says "trust us" like a shadowy mountain vault filled with secrets. What’s in there—Jimmy Hoffa’s lunchbox or the recipe for Chick-fil-A sauce?

Speaking of tough secrets, we’ll tackle sourdough. Why is it tough to chew, and why is that a good thing? It’s basically bread’s way of telling you to slow down and appreciate life—or maybe just floss more.

And let’s not forget California on fire again! It’s like the state’s perpetual farewell party. Someone hand Gavin Newsom a marshmallow skewer.

We’ll also deep dive into AI and why Skynet probably already exists but is too busy learning sourdough recipes to kill us all… for now.

Unschooling makes the cut, too—because who needs classrooms when life is the best teacher? Just ask your kids when they’re learning calculus from a TikTok influencer.

And for dessert: The Placebo Effect! Because sometimes, pretending something works is better than nothing. (Looking at you, homeopathic cough syrup.)
