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. 51 - Russell’s Reserve 15 Year vs 10 Year Blind Taste + Real Talk on Friendship","slug":"ep-51-russell-s-reserve-15-year-vs-10-year-blind-taste-real-talk-on-friendship","published_at":"2026-05-07T21:31:26+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444/ep-51-russell-s-reserve-15-year-vs-10-year-blind-taste-real-talk-on-friendship","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444","url":"https://jdhc6.podbean.com/e/ep-51-russell-s-reserve-15-year-vs-10-year-blind-taste-real-talk-on-friendship/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/yt7yabnkv6fswmpc/FB8531-bW-Podcast_Recording_April_4th_-_Nischan_Ep_1_-_King_of_Kentucky92knk.mp4","summary":"What happens when you put a world-class outdoorsman, a signed bottle of Russell's Reserve 15 Year, two porch philosophers, and a couple cigars together? You get one heck of a conversation. On Part 1 of this special two-part episode of Two Guys On A Porch, Jason and Bradford welcome back repeat guest and longtime friend Chris Nischan — legendary hunting and fishing guide, former host of Tennessee’s Wild Side, and the very first winner of Field & Stream Outdoorsman of the Year. Chris may know more about turkey hunting, tiger fishing, and the outdoors than just about anybody we know… but this episode isn’t really about hunting. It’s about vulnerability. Over pours of Russell’s Reserve 10 Year and the unicorn-level Russell’s Reserve 15 Year — personally signed by Wild Turkey icon Jimmy Russell himself — the guys blind taste the pours and quickly realize one of them belongs in the bourbon hall of fame. (Spoiler: the 117-proof Russell’s Reserve 15 drinks dangerously smooth.) But between cigar smoke and plenty of porch-level trash talk, Chris opens up about growing up searching for identity, being the class clown, finding purpose in the outdoors, and the mentors who helped redirect his life before it went sideways. There’s also:• a fake grand jury scam call,• stories about smoking cigars while recovering from a broken leg,• tiger fish with giant teeth,• Bradford getting roasted for his bourbon nose,• and a surprisingly deep conversation about what real friendship actually looks like. Somewhere between the caramel, oak, rye spice, and laughter, this episode lands on a truth most men rarely say out loud: Vulnerability doesn’t weaken men. It connects them. Pour something worthy. Pull up a chair. And welcome back to the porch.","meta_description":"What happens when you put a world-class outdoorsman, a signed bottle of Russell's Reserve 15 Year, two porch philosophers, and a couple cigars together?
