We open with a slightly higher than usual amount of what passes for banter.

Phil has a kombucha and graduates to some Wild Turkey 101 bourbon.

John has a dram of Minneapolis-made, Brother Justus American Single Malt. Phil and John visited this distillery recently and have some observations.

The 1992 movie, Bob Roberts comes up.

John bought an electric vehicle and Phil has many questions. We don’t know how informative this topic was but we sure said a lot!

The Song: “Spicy Fly”

Today, we’re joined by returning Special Guest, Shawn Cassity! (not Shaun Cassidy, but if you know him, we’ll have him on too)

Shawn is having a Keeper’s Heart, Phil a Tusker Lager and John is drinking Dewar's 15 year scotch.

After we get the usual junk out of the way, we have a brief chat about podcast player apps.

Phil has an update on his other podcast activities.

John randomly mentions BBC’s The Shipping Forecast. And remembers the old NPR show, Music From the Hearts of Space and MST3K. Phil recalls a technique he was taught to memorize Spanish vocabulary and wonders if MST3K ever lampooned the movie Tourist Trap (1979).

With Shawn on deck, we have a long-ish chat about our least-favorite Beatles songs. (favourite)

Song: “The Cats Will Eat Tonight”

Today is sponsored by the letter “Green”.

John is drinking a Johnnie Walker Island Green and describes how it’s made, travel retail and the differences between it and Johnnie Walker Green. Phil starts with green tea, then moves over to Old Forester.

Airport security

Phil’s trip to New Mexico.

The second installment of John’s Old Tech features the LaserDisc! And the first installment of Phil’s new segment!

The Song: “Old Roy”
