This episode is filled with the humor and care of two incredible friends. Life is full of surprises. From balding to kids genders, to illness - life is moving at us and we must surrender and get on board to move forward. That takes friends. And in some cases cigars and bourbon from time to time on a porch.
And Dont Miss our special “Pappy New Year!” Episode 11 as releases on Dec 31! Just in time for the new year.
Shout out to Mac Powell from Third Day for originating the nick name Huffdaddy. Jason didn’t know that when he said it “off the cuff” on this episode. There was no switching of bourbons in these bottles for the taste test. These guys are just that “great” at this.
This has been our favorite episode to date, but Pappy New Year will have some often hard to find surprises, too.

Ep. 9: “Friends, We Will Smoke Cigars to the Glory of God”

Ep. 9: “Friends, I Will Smoke Cigars to the Glory of God”
Join Jason and Bradford on the porch as they welcome Spurgeon, a bold and refined cigar, into their bourbon-tasting and cigar-smoking adventures. Paired with the near-household names Maker’s Mark and Woodford Reserve, the evening unfolds with rich conversation about friendship, culture, and life’s challenges.
Maker’s Mark, with its iconic red wax seal, has been a symbol of smooth, wheated bourbon since 1953. Crafted by Bill Samuels Sr. to be mellow and approachable, it’s known for sweet notes of vanilla and caramel. Woodford Reserve, with a legacy dating back to 1812, offers a rich, complex profile of rye spice, toasted oak, and dried fruits, thanks to its meticulous triple-distillation process.
Savoring bourbon’s rye, spices and hints of cinnamon, Jason and Bradford reflect on the value of meaningful friendships as anchors of trust and joy in a busy world. They explore how relationships shape us and remind us of what matters most.
The discussion deepens as they address the pervasive issue of pornography, urging honesty, faith, and discipline in facing this widespread challenge. Thanks to https://spurgeoncigarclub.com  in us selecting the Spurgeon.  The perfect choice for cigar newcomers or even afficiandos.
With cigars in hand, the duo compares ashes, enjoys bourbon, and celebrates life’s simple pleasures. Pour a glass, light up, and join the conversation.
Like Charles Spurgeon one of the greatest preachers of all time,  Jason and Bradford share friendship and cigars ‘to the glory of God.”

Jason and Bradford take their bourbon-tasting and cigar-smoking adventures to new heights in the small batch bourbon world.  Featuring the buzzworthy Marianne Eaves’ Forbidden—crafted by the trailblazing first female master distiller since Prohibition—they add a touch of history to their lineup.
Smoke circles are courtesy of Bradford’s favorite, the prestigious Opus X, alongside pours of the increasingly coveted and likely soon to be hard to find Frank August bourbon, a rising star in the bourbon world.
The conversation shifts to the wild outdoors as the guys share hunting stories—pheasant, bear, mountain goat, moose, and more. They dive into discussions on conservation, preservation, and the importance of hunting for sustenance, underlining focus on ethical practices not trophy hunting.
Shout outs: Wildrose Kennels and UKLabs as Jason’s girlfriend Kimber rests on the porch after a recent hunting trip. Jason jokes with a request for hunting outfitter Ball and Buck make a left handed hunting shirt for Bradford.
From bourbon wisdom to hunting insights and plenty of porch-side banter, this episode is a perfect blend of experience, laughter, and friendship. Whether you’re a hunter, a whiskey lover, or just someone who enjoys a good story, grab a pour, light a cigar, and join the conversation!

Ep. 7: A Gaggle of Wild Turkeys – Smoking Partagas & Hunting with Chris Nischan

Two Guys on a Porch welcomes their first-ever guest, and it’s a wild one—literally. This episode is a gaggle of tasting, smoking, and laughing as Jason and Bradford pour not one, but four different Wild Turkeys while reminiscing about the great outdoors, the passion of hunting, and the surprising vulnerability that comes with good friends and good bourbon.
Joining the porch is Chris Nischan, Tennessee's premier fishing and hunting guide and Field & Stream’s 2004 Total Outdoorsman. Chris shares stories about hunting, being real, and embracing life’s adventures. Spoiler: While nobody on the porch is actually dumb, there’s plenty of hilarity as the conversation veers into “legal schmeagle” and “always by the rules” territory.
The cigar of choice? The Partagas de Bronce, a masterpiece featuring Nicaraguan tobacco and a corojo-seed wrapper. With roots dating back to 1845 in Cuba, this cigar brings a bold flavor to complement the bourbon lineup. And speaking of bourbon, the pours are a celebration of Wild Turkey’s legacy. From the iconic Jimmy Russell—who was bourbon before bourbon was cool—to Jason’s “vintage” Wild Turkey 80 proof straight from a fraternity brother’s stash in 1989.
The lineup includes:
• Wild Turkey Master’s Keep Voyage, aged in rum casks 
• Wild Turkey 101
• Jimmy Russell’s Limited Edition 70th Anniversary 8-Year Small Batch
• Wild Turkey 80 Proof (a.k.a. a frat-tastic throwback)
This bourbon was actually name named after a memorable wild turkey hunting trip. This episode is equal parts insight, laughter, and bourbon-fueled camaraderie. Whether you're a hunter, a bourbon lover, or just enjoy a good laugh, grab a pour, light a cigar, and join the gaggle. Be sure to check out https://twoguysonaporch.com.

Ep. 6: "Deserve’s Got Nothing to Do with It” – Unforgiven, Jack, Four Roses, & Store Brand Cigars

In this episode of Two Guys on a Porch, we dive deep into the ultimate Western, - Unforgiven.  Exploring the film’s portrayal of complex characters who are just human, Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Morgan Freeman bring to life a gritty, no-holds-barred look at a world where there are no easy answers, and we all carry our flaws.
We talk single barrel whiskey and compare Jason’s Jack Daniels Single Barrel and Four Roses' unique use of 10 different bourbon recipes for their single barrel. What are the corn mash differences?
Ever wondered why single barrel whiskey is so special? We explain how bourbon is usually a blend, but when you get a single barrel, it’s all about the unique character of one barrel, influenced by the rickhouse placement and mash bill.
We light up a couple of store-label cigars, sharing our thoughts on the experience with a guillotine cut. Will it pass the highly-regarded—scientific taste test of “Cat Shit breath in the morning”?
Like the characters in Unforgiven, we all have our share of failings, but there’s something undeniably honest about how we all make our way through this rough world. This is another reason we need friends.
Join us as we discuss life, whiskey, cigars, and the modern Western that challenges what we think we know about good, evil, and redemption.

Ep. 5: Rebel Drivers, White Lightning, and NASCAR: It's Not Brain Surgery

Just in time for the 2024 Championship race, Episode Five of Two Guys on a Porch, take some serious left turns as Jason and the fedora-wearing Bradford go head-to-head on who’s really number one. With a pour of Rebel 100 bourbon in hand, they hit the “track” in a lively debate about NASCAR, the ties between brain surgery and driving at 200 mph, Michael Jordan’s surprising stake in racing, and legends like Darrell Waltrip.
They dive into the roots of NASCAR—from bootleggers outrunning the law with a trunk full of moonshine to the evolution of one of America’s fastest, most loyal sports. It’s a journey through the days of Dale Earnhardt Sr., Richard Childress, and Richard Petty, with tales of “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” for Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, and more. Before they head back to the pits they test track racing-fuel-clear bourbon Buffalo Trace’s White Dog. But it’s not all tire smoke! With a Tim Ozgener cigar in hand, they up the stakes and let the conversation roll. So kick back, spark up, and share this episode with friends you’d want in your own pit crew.

Ep: 4 Burning Nose Hairs: Extremes in the Opus of Culture, Blanton’s and Willet

Episode Four of Two Guys on a Porch might singe their noses as Jason and the always-entertaining Bradford uncork a high-proof heavy hitter: a rare 142.4-proof Willett and Jason’s prized Blanton’s. Sometimes, you 'gotta have a guy' who knows how to score the good stuff. Is it better than Pappy? Well, that depends on who you ask—
They dive into extremes of all kinds, from the fiery pours in their glasses to the red-hot rhetoric of Fox, CNN, and the latest season of political drama. In a world where one channel's “fiery truth” is another’s “nuanced spin,” they sip and debate what really goes down best—whether in whiskey or in the nightly news. 
Meanwhile, Jason can’t resist hoarding his Blanton’s, while they chat about the merits of bold, in-your-face spirits versus the subtle elegance of more balanced pours. Kevin’s Catalog gets a mention as Jason has on one of his favorite shirts.
Their conversation also takes a deeper, more introspective turn with the ultimate extreme: God’s unconditional love. It’s a topic that stirs up reflections on grace, the depth of forgiveness, and the idea that no matter how many mistakes you make, there’s still a place for you on the porch. 
Between sips, they light up Bradford’s go-to cigar—Opus X—letting the rich smoke mingle with their bourbon musings. If you’re after sharp humor, whiskey wisdom, and a few unexpected surprises, Episode Four delivers it all—strong drinks, deep conversation, and plenty of laughs. So pour yourself a glass, light up, and settle in for the ride. Cheers!

Ep 3: Command Performance: Sweetens, Peyton, and the Judge on Adderall & Viagra!

Episode Three of Two Guys on a Porch cranks up the heat as Jason and the wildly entertaining Bradford uncork Sweetens Cove—including the rare Sweetens Cove 22. But this isn’t your typical tasting session. They highlight the rise of women in the industry, and give a no-holds-barred take on what truly counts as “performance enhancers” for both the mind and body. Jason even confesses to the biggest thing he’s ever had in his mouth—as between sips they cut and fire up Cigar Aficionado’s constant #1 Winner My Father The Judge cigars.
The conversation ramps up further as the guys tackle everything from marijuana to a playful take on why Adderall and Viagra “help”. And they raise a glass to Tennessee superstar Peyton Manning’s knack for blending business savvy with bourbon craftsmanship and his legacy in football.
If you’re looking for sharp humor, whiskey wisdom, and a few surprises along the way, this episode has it all—great drinks, good company, and plenty of laughs. So pour yourself a glass, light up, and enjoy the ride. Cheers!

Ep. 2: Presidents and Pouring Jack: Personalties Between The Lines

On episode two of Two Guys On A Porch, friends Jason and Bradford turn up the heat with a lively discussion on the personalities of Presidents—from the differing charms of Kennedy and Trump to the personas of Obama and Nixon. As they cut and light up the Arturo Fuente “Between the Lines” cigar, they savor the bold flavors while musing over the politics of telegenics, influence, and more. The guys also sample three Jack Daniel’s expressions: the Sinatra Select, Bonded, and the smooth #27 Gold, crowning it all with a toast to the legend himself, Frank Sinatra—who learned to enjoy Jack with good company alongside Jackie Gleason.
With a nod to the “two worst candidates ever” of 2016 and some word-salad moments reminiscent of today’s headlines, they explore what “generational Presidents” have in common. They also dive into Kamala Harris’ rise in politics and the “word-salad” moments of modern-day campaigns.
Whether you’re here for the connections, the laughs, the history, or the latest Whiskey Advocate of the Year, this episode brings it all. Grab a glass, settle in, and enjoy the ride as they uncover why opposites attract, tackle political myths, and wonder who’s really listening to the handlers behind the scenes. Cheers!
