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. 52 Sending Our Children to War | A Toast to Men & Women Who Serve","slug":"ep-52-sending-our-children-to-war-a-toast-to-men-women-who-serve","published_at":"2026-05-21T20:45:03+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444/ep-52-sending-our-children-to-war-a-toast-to-men-women-who-serve","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/two-guys-on-a-porch-7048444","url":"https://jdhc6.podbean.com/e/ep-52-sending-our-children-to-war-a-toast-to-men-women-who-serve/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/8cdjptrxe33ha8av/FB8533_-_bW_-_Podcast_Recording_April_4th_-_Children_In_Militarybe6a7.mp4","summary":"Jason and Bradford gather back on the porch for a Memorial Day episode centered on honor, sacrifice, and the complicated reality of sending young men and women into harm’s way. As the guys raise a glass, they pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to this country — and to honor the men and women currently serving around the world today. The conversation becomes deeply personal as Bradford reflects on his father enlisting in the Navy during World War II because, in his words, there was a stigma around waiting to be drafted.

Together, the guys wrestle with the question every parent eventually asks: Why do they willingly go? From brotherhood and belonging… to purpose, identity, challenge, sacrifice, patriotism, and the desire to prove yourself capable of something difficult, the porch conversation moves through both history and heart. Jason and Bradford reflect on how military service shapes men, creates lifelong bonds, and calls ordinary people toward something noble and costly. For this Memorial Day release, the porch pairing felt especially fitting. The featured cigar is the rare Arturo Fuente Opus X Opus Society — a luxury 2024 release with only 30,000 produced worldwide.
