S3 Ep4: Interview with Taylor Turnbill of Ironroot Republic Distillery

S3 Ep7: Back to the Black - Serenity

Full Episodes on our Patreon! This week, we’re heading back into the black as we revisit the movie Serenity—the cinematic swan song that gave closure… and emotional damage… to fans of Firefly everywhere. We’re talking Reavers, regrets, and whether Serenity stuck the landing or just made us miss the show even more. But that’s not all—we’re also looking ahead to the newly announced animated Firefly series, breaking down our hopes, dreams, and cautious optimism. Because if we’ve learned anything, it’s this: trust issues come standard with being a Browncoat. We’re pairing this trip through the ‘Verse with the Liga Privada #9, dark, rich, and complex enough to handle some heavy sci-fi feels, and a pour of Stagg Single Barrel Unfiltered (132 proof)—because nothing says “emotional processing” like barrel-proof bourbon that hits harder than a Reaver ambush. And of course, we’re tipping our hats to the one, the only Chuck Norris with our Greatest Joke in the World segment—because in a universe full of danger, there’s still room for legendary roundhouse kicks. So grab a glass, light one up, and join us as we laugh, reminisce, and maybe—just maybe—learn to hope again.

S3 Ep6: Everybody's Irish!

This week, we’re going full Irish—no passport required—as we celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a conversation that’s part history lesson, part pub talk, and part “how did we get here?” We’re diving into all things Irish—culture, traditions, maybe a few tall tales—and figuring out what makes the Emerald Isle so damn charming. Is it the music? The storytelling? The fact that everything somehow pairs perfectly with whiskey? Speaking of which, we’re pouring a glass of Jameson 18 Year Old, smooth enough to make you think you’ve got an Irish accent after two sips, and lighting up a Faustino’s barber pole cigar, because nothing says celebration like a little twist and a lot of flavor. So grab a drink, spark one up, and join us as we raise a glass to good stories, good company, and just enough Irish spirit to make this episode feel like your favorite corner pub. Sláinte! 🍀🥃🔥

S3 Ep5: A.I.

This week we’re diving into AI — the incredible technology that might cure diseases, write code, and optimize the world… or become self-aware and decide humans are just inefficient meat-based batteries. Either way, we’ll be debating the benefits and the possible extinction of the human race while enjoying the Kinsman cigar from Definition Cigars and sipping on Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel bourbon. Because if the machines do take over, we’d at least like to be doing what we enjoy while having front-row seats.

S3 Ep4: Interview with Taylor Turnbill of Ironroot Republic Distillery

Hey Nerds! We're talking and doing a little pre-show warmup with Taylor Turnbill from one of our favorite distilleries, Ironroot Republic! We'll learn the history of Ironroot, what makes their Promethean so damn good, and what the future of Ironroot looks like. Join us!

S3 Ep3: Firefly

This week, we’re taking the scenic route through the ‘Verse and talking about the short-lived, forever-loved sci-fi classic Firefly. One season. Fourteen episodes. And somehow more emotional damage than shows that ran for a decade. We’re revisiting Captain tight-pants, morally flexible space jobs, Reavers that still haunt our dreams, and the eternal question: how did a network look at this show and say, “Nah, we’re good”? To fuel our trip through the black, we’re pouring Ironroot Republic Distillery Promethean Bourbon—bold, complex, and a little rebellious—and lighting up the Luciano Vision cigar, because nothing pairs with a space western like smoke and a slow burn. So grab your brown coat, pour a glass, and join us as we talk about loyalty, loss, and why some shows may die… but they never really leave the cargo hold of our nerdy hearts. Too soon? It’s been 20+ years. We’re still not over it.
