Episode #23
For the first time ever, the shit show has a guest IN the studio. Mike Ciacciarelli of Castle & Key — the unicorn listener the boys found at Whiskey Riot — rolls in with six bottles and the full story of the distillery Colonel E.H. Taylor built in the 1880s, left to ruin, and one entrepreneur bought off a Google search for under a million bucks. The birthplace of bourbon tourism, rebuilt from rubble. X, Big Red, and Lumpy taste through the whole lineup: the 6-Year Small Batch Bourbon (101 proof, 73% heirloom white corn), the Small Batch Wheated that finally converted Lumpy, the Restoration Rye, the Cask Strength Wheated, and two Experimental Series cask-strength rye finishes — Vino de Naranja and 15-year Haitian rum barrels (yes, there’s banana, and no, it’s not on the nose). Then the guys get into why you don’t have to be right to be happy — layoffs, dance dad reflections, ego vs. peace at home — before an AITA that split the table: is Gary’s “secret family recipe” cocktail just a Manhattan, and who’s the asshole for saying it out loud at Thanksgiving? Leave a comment with your verdict — we’re reading them next episode.

Episode #22
It’s a red, white, and blue celebration on Talking Shit Today. General X, Lumpy, and Big Red sit down with Gary Hinegardner, founder of Wood Hat Spirits, and Irene Tan of Whiskey Mentors (aka the “Single Barrel Queen”) to crack open their collaborative 250th Anniversary blend, a five-corn bourbon built from Gary’s proprietary corn genetics and Irene’s blending palate. Gary talks corn breeding and sustainable distilling, Irene shares her path from software engineer to single-barrel legend, and the crew breaks down the tasting note by note. Then in Mental Health, the guys discuss PTSD beyond combat trauma, including Red’s own experience after a car accident, and why men often avoid asking for help. They close with Am I the Asshole, on a listener whose brother wanted to open their late father’s unopened bottle collection, including a Blanton’s he was saving for “the right occasion,” at his memorial.
Episode #21
Episode 21 calls for a celebration and we're doing it right. Three bottles, all carrying a 21-year age statement, go head-to-head on the Talking Shit Today rating scale. X cracks open his raffle-won Knob Creek 21 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Big Red brings the Redbreast 21 Year Irish Whiskey, and the night gets derailed in the best possible way by a 140-proof Rare Character Limited Release Light Whiskey Batch #5 that broke Lumpy's brain in real time. Then we flip the script on Kyle for once, he might not be the asshole. We dig into milestones, crossroads, and the choices that made us who we are. Plus: what does turning 21 actually look like when you look back on it? Spoiler, it's more Red Lobster than you'd expect. As always, if you're struggling, you don't have to go it alone. Text or call 988, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. We need you here. Here's to the people who show up, crack the bottle with you when the moment's right, and don't put it on a shelf. Pour something good. 📲 @talkingshittoday everywhere | talkingshittoday@gmail.com
