We Think We Make Em' Better Than They Used To - Ball And Buck Nashville
What happens when a brand believes the things we use should carry stories, not just wear out? Jason and Bradford take Two Guys On A Porch on the road for a field-trip edition from the brand-new Ball and Buck flagship store in Nashville, Tennessee, with founder Mark Bollman IV. Ball and Buck is built around a simple idea: make things well enough that they become part of your story. Heirloom-grade clothing and gear, rooted in generations of American sporting tradition, designed to perform in the field, look just as good back in town, and someday be handed down with a few stories attached. Mark shares how time spent hunting with his grandfather—and a jacket passed down through his family—helped shape a brand focused on craftsmanship, durability and preserving the sporting lifestyle. As he puts it, when something lasts long enough, it stops being just a product and becomes a kind of journal of the places you've been. That philosophy fits the Porch pretty well. The guys talk waxed cotton, field gear, why relationships matter more than simply filling shelves, and the collaborations Ball and Buck chooses because they believe in the people behind the brands—not just the products. Naturally, there’s also bourbon. Jason, Bradford and Mark pour Blade and Bow, talk about its connection to the old Stitzel-Weller Distillery, and leave behind a bottle of the Two Guys On A Porch Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel for future clubhouse conversations. And “clubhouse” may be the best way to describe the new Nashville location. There’s sporting apparel and gear, high-end shotguns and rifles, a barbershop, places to sit and stay awhile—and a completely restored 1981 Jeep Scrambler built in collaboration with Bird Buggy that has enough horsepower to make Bradford reconsider several financial decisions. Because Ball and Buck isn't really about nostalgia. It's about taking what was worth preserving from the past, making it work for today, and building something good enough to still matter tomorrow. Field tested. Quality proven. Stories earned. Visit ballandbuck.com or the brick and mortar stores in Nashville and Dallas The bourbon may have started the conversation. But the conversation is why we came.

Whiskey for My Men & A Stave for My Horses
Blanton’s may be one of the most recognizable bottles in bourbon—but for Jason, it’s more than that. It’s still the “plumb line” he uses to measure just about everything else. On this Porch Picks from Two Guys On a Porch, Bradford comes back from the Kentucky Bourbon Trail with stories from Buffalo Trace Distillery, some surprisingly reasonable gift-shop prices, and one long-overdue gift for Jason: a barrel stave for his collection of Blanton’s horse toppers. The guys talk Blanton’s Single Barrel, Weller Antique 107, bourbon hunting, collecting all eight letters that spell BLANTON’S, and the strangely difficult pursuit of finding the right second “N.” It’s a quick conversation about bourbon, friendship, tiny metal horses, and why some bottles never really leave your rotation—even after your palate changes. Whiskey for the men. A stave for the horses. Sounds about right. #tobykeith #willienelson #Bourbon #Blantons #BuffaloTrace #Whiskey #BourbonHunting #KentuckyBourbonFestival

Ep. 56 - 🇺🇸 America at 250…and A Bourbon Older Than WWII
Ep. 56 - 🇺🇸 America at 250…and A Bourbon Older Than WWII On this special Independence Day edition of Two Guys On A Porch, Jason and Bradford celebrate America's 250th Anniversary by exploring the ideas, freedoms, friendships, and disagreements that have shaped our nation since 1776. From memories of the Bicentennial celebrations of 1976 to reflections on civility, personal freedom, differences, and the enduring strength of the American experiment, the guys consider what still holds us together in a time when it often feels easier to focus on what divides us. To mark the occasion, they pour a remarkable piece of bourbon history: a 1941 Bottled-in-Bond J.W. Dant, distilled shortly after Prohibition and bottled during a pivotal era in American history. This bottle pre-dates World War II! The vintage whiskey serves as more than just a pour—it becomes a connection to another generation and a reminder of the traditions that endure. They also compare it with Monk's Road Bourbon from Log Still Distillery, a modern expression tied to the same Dant family legacy, creating a unique tasting that bridges America's past and present. Along the way, a rare Padrón PB97 cigar helps complete a celebration centered on craftsmanship, heritage, and gratitude for those who came before us. So as we celebrate Independence Day, perhaps the better question isn't whether America is perfect. It's this: What has allowed America to survive—and even thrive—for 250 years? Perhaps it is the exceptionalism of the American experiment. For 250 years, we've stumbled, argued, disagreed, and persevered. Yet here we are. Imperfect? Absolutely. But for all its faults, America remains the greatest experiment in self-government the world has ever known—and still the best place in the world that we call home. Pull up a chair and join us on the porch. 🇺🇸

Ep. 55 - South Africa vs Kentucky: The Corn Whiskey Battle Nobody Saw Coming
Ep. 55 - South Africa vs Kentucky: The Corn Whiskey Battle Nobody Saw Coming Most bourbon lovers have heard of Mellow Corn. But what happens when a Kentucky cult favorite goes head-to-head with a whiskey hand-carried home from a South African safari? In this quick Porch Picks episode from Two Guys On A Porch, Jason and Bradford compare two very different takes on corn whiskey: the classic, Bottled-in-Bond Mellow Corn and Bains Cape Mountain Whisky, a unique South African pour finished in specialty casks. One whiskey surprised us with unexpected depth and character. The other sparked a debate that got... a little brutal. Is corn whiskey underrated? Is Mellow Corn worth the hype? And can a whiskey from halfway around the world outshine a Kentucky staple? Join us for one of the most surprising comparisons we've done yet. #Bourbon #WhiskeyReview #CornWhiskey #MellowCorn #HeavenHill #BainsWhisky #SouthAfricanWhisky #WhiskeyComparison #PorchPicks #TwoGuysOnAPorch

Ep. 54 - Porch Picks | Don’t Be Fooled By The Willet Purple Top
Ep. 54 - Porch Picks | Don’t Be Fooled By The Willet Purple Top Jason thought he found the bourbon deal of the year when he spotted a Willett Purple Top sitting on a store shelf. But a closer look revealed a surprising twist. In this Porch Pick, Jason and Bradford compare a young 4-year Willett rye against a mature 10-year Willett rye to see exactly what barrel aging contributes to flavor, complexity, and balance. The verdict? Same whiskey. Very different experience. If you're a bourbon hunter, Willett fan, or simply curious whether age statements really matter, this quick comparison is one you won't want to miss.
