Episode 14: Poor Pappy’s, Leather and Oak, and Drinking Cigars

Be sure to rate and follow the podcast! Doc Jason and the ever-sarcastic Bradford kick off this lively episode at the poker table with some spirited banter. Opening with the cheeky line “drinks good and drinks weller,” they dive into playful grammar antics that set the tone for an episode filled with humor, insight, and a touch of chaos. No cigars tonight—the duo is keeping it smoke-free indoors—but the absence of smoke doesn’t dampen the fun. Friendship takes center stage as Jason and Bradford remind listeners why laughter and heart-filled sarcasm are vital ingredients to any good relationship. The spotlight tonight shines on the elusive and legendary “Poor Pappy”—a tongue-in-cheek nod to the $1,000+ price tag per bottle. The pours of the night include: Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old: A smooth start with rich notes of leather and oak. Pappy Van Winkle’s 12 Year Lot B: The standout pour of the evening, boasting a richer, smoother finish and complex layers of flavor. Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Rye: A true homage to the original recipe, offering depth, spice, and a refined sip that speaks to bourbon history. Even Bradford, who typically doesn’t enjoy rye, admitted it was an unaffordable smooth delight. The conversation meanders into nostalgic memories of poker wins, losses, and simpler times spent with family. Jason reflects on those cherished poker nights and dreams of a resurgence—a return to the camaraderie and connection those evenings once brought. Amid the tasting, Doc and Bradford share stories about these coveted bottles and the undeniable way bourbon—like friendship—only gets better with time. And who knows? Maybe there’s a future for a Two Guys on a Porch “Leather and Oak” cologne!
