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. 47 - More Than Smoke & Bourbon: What We’re Really Building on the Porch","slug":"ep-47-more-than-smoke-bourbon-what-we-re-really-building-on-the-porch","published_at":"2026-04-02T17:54:07+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444/ep-47-more-than-smoke-bourbon-what-we-re-really-building-on-the-porch","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444","url":"https://jdhc6.podbean.com/e/ep-47-more-than-smoke-bourbon-what-we-re-really-building-on-the-porch/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/28gm4pw5wma4fujy/FB7952_-_bW_-_Podcast_Recording_March_21_-_Monte_27opmj.mp4","summary":"Ep. 47 - More Than Smoke & Bourbon: What We’re Really Building on the Porch Every good place has a beginning. For Mission Cigar and Social, it started with an idea from Monty Collins—create a space where people could slow down, sit for a while, and enjoy a cigar. Simple enough. But like most things that matter, it became more than that. What Monty built isn’t just a cigar lounge. It’s a place where conversations happen. Where people come in one way and leave a little different. Where you can sit down, not have to perform, and just be around others for a bit. That’s not all that different from what we’re trying to do here on the porch. This episode moves through cigars, stories, Tennessee Collective, Franklin Distillery and a few laughs… but it keeps circling back to the same idea: Most people aren’t looking for more noise.They’re looking for a place to land. A place where connection isn’t forced… it just happens. Come visit Franklin, TN and be sure to spend some time at Mission Cigar and Social. You’ll experience what we are talking about here and on all episodes of Two Guys On A Porch. That’s the point. This is Part 2 of our conversation with Monty—so if you haven’t yet, go back and listen to Part 1 featuring Franklin Distillery, Tennessee Collective Whiskey, and Padrón. It’ll give you the full picture. So whether you’re listening on the way home, sitting on your back porch, or lighting one up with a friend—thanks for being part of it. #TwoGuysOnAPorch #BourbonPodcast #CigarPodcast #WhiskeyPodcast #MensPodcast #CigarConversation #BourbonTalk #CigarCulture #MensMentalHealth #BrotherhoodMatters #PodcastClips #franklintn #franklintennessee #downtownfranklin #visitfranklintn #Franklin #TennesseeCollective #TennesseeWhiskey #TNWhiskeyTrail #FranklinDistillery","meta_description":"Ep. 47 - More Than Smoke & Bourbon: What We’re Really Building on the Porch Every good place has a beginning.
