    Step into the world of bourbon, bizarre sleep strategies, and gut health in this uproarious episode that perfectly showcases Matt and Phil's friendship and whiskey knowledge.

    We're sipping on Penelope Bourbon's weeded straight bourbon whiskey—a non-chill filtered gem at 95 proof that delivers surprising root beer notes with caramel and brown sugar undertones. At just $35 a bottle, this MGP-produced bourbon earns our enthusiastic stamp of approval and proves that quality doesn't have to break the bank.

    The conversation takes a fascinating detour into the world of MGP (Midwest Grain Products), revealing how this distillery is shifting from primarily supplying other brands to focusing on their own labels like Penelope. We break down bourbon's four-grain composition—corn, wheat, barley, and rye—explaining how each contributes to the complex flavor profile you experience with every sip. For whiskey enthusiasts curious about production processes, this episode offers valuable insights into how your favorite spirits come together.

    But the true highlight comes when Matt unveils his elaborate sleep routine, complete with a live demonstration involving multiple sleep masks (including one that resembles a romance novel accessory), a mouth guard for teeth grinding, and cotton gloves for eczema treatment. This hilariously candid segment might have you questioning your own bedtime habits—or perhaps feeling validated that you're not alone in your sleep quirks. Whether you're a bourbon aficionado or simply enjoy genuine conversation peppered with unexpected humor, this episode delivers on all fronts.

    Bourbon meets maritime adventure in this entertaining exploration of Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea. Matt and Phil crack open Voyage 20 of this unique whiskey that traveled the world's oceans before landing in their glasses. The bottle comes complete with a ship's log detailing its journey through the Panama Canal, around the Pacific Rim, and up the Atlantic coast—written with such flourish you'd think Hemingway was the captain.

    What started as a straightforward whiskey tasting spirals into a delightful debate about whether aging bourbon on ships actually enhances the flavor or merely creates a compelling backstory. The 90-proof bourbon presents as surprisingly light, lacking the complexity and depth of other Jefferson's offerings, raising questions about whether the ocean voyage is worth the premium price tag. "If this is a gimmick," Phil remarks, "I want to taste ocean water."

    The conversation takes an unexpected but hilarious detour through Tom Hanks' filmography, demonstrating the hosts' signature conversational chemistry. From "Big" to "You've Got Mail" and everything between, they connect nearly every Hanks movie to their nautical whiskey journey. By the time they circle back to bourbon, you've forgotten you're listening to a whiskey podcast and not hanging out with two friends who've had just enough bourbon to get wonderfully sidetracked.

    Whether you're a whiskey aficionado curious about innovative aging techniques or simply enjoy listening to engaging, meandering conversations fueled by good spirits, this episode delivers both information and entertainment in equal measure. Grab a glass of your favorite bourbon and join Matt and Phil as they determine if this seafaring spirit sinks or swims.
