So come join us, Bradford and Jason, on the porch to enjoy a good bourbon and cigar to figure it out. Picture this: a cozy porch or patio, the sun setting in the distance, and the perfect cigar in hand. That’s our sweet spot, and we want you there with us. Each episode is like a chat with old friends where we dive into everything from the smooth notes of bourbon to the complexities of life’s biggest questions—jobs, politics, history, music, and even the quirkiest of topics like, “Why did we quit using lead paint?” One of us is a brain surgeon—yes, really—and the other brings a mix of sharp intellect, charisma, and unyielding certainty. We’ll let you guess which is which. We’re tackling it all: from the lives of Presidents to overcoming isolation, battling cancer, navigating divorce, and the wild ride of raising adult kids. So, grab a friend, your favorite cigar, and a drink that makes you smile. Join us on the porch for some real talk and a lot of laughs.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T08:17:23.165860+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 46 - Mission Social in Franklin, TN: Local Cigar Shop & TN Bourbon - TN Collective + Franklin Distillery","slug":"ep-46-mission-social-in-franklin-tn-local-cigar-shop-tn-bourbon-tn-collective-franklin-distillery","published_at":"2026-03-26T23:20:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444/ep-46-mission-social-in-franklin-tn-local-cigar-shop-tn-bourbon-tn-collective-franklin-distillery","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444","url":"https://jdhc6.podbean.com/e/ep-46-mission-social-in-franklin-tn-local-cigar-shop-tn-bourbon-tn-collective-franklin-distillery/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/qegkxpcg6xa2s8sn/FB7951_-_bW_-_Podcast_Recording_March_21_-_Monteacrgp.mp4","summary":"This episode is anchored in one of the South’s most iconic towns—Franklin, Tennessee—where history, hospitality, and a damn good pour all collide. Jason and Bradford sit down with Monty Collins of Mission Cigar and Social, now firmly planted just off the historic downtown square. If you’re visiting Franklin—and you should be—this is where you land. While the shops, restaurants, and charm pull people in… Mission Cigar is where conversations actually happen. Also visit their Spring Hill, TN location. And on this porch, the pours are as local as it gets. The guys light up a Padrón 50th Anniversary—a top-shelf cigar that might just be “last smoke worthy. Additionally the boys crack into a rare Franklin Distillery 20-Year—a true “sleeper” bottle that drinks far smoother than its proof—and a one-of-a-kind Tennessee Collective Whiskey, a 12-distillery collaboration that might be the most uniquely Tennessee pour you’ll ever taste. This isn’t just whiskey—it’s a snapshot of what’s happening across the state right now. From heritage names to rising players, Tennessee is building something real: Jack Daniel's – the global standard Company Distilling – modern craft done right Leiper's Fork Distillery – local pride with serious flavor Nashville Barrel Company – sourcing and blending at a high level Sugarlands Distilling Company & Ole Smoky Distillery – Smoky Mountain staples Old Glory Distilling Co. & Tennessee Legend Distillery – honoring tradition Tennessee Hills Distillery & Old Forge Distillery – small-town craftsmanship Lost State Distilling – emerging and experimental Big Machine Distillery – bold and expanding Together, they represent a growing movement—one that blends tradition, innovation, and a whole lot of Southern grit.
