Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast Mark Harms and Stephen Mack

What if you could live 10,000 lifetimes, and the only requirement would be to find perfection before using them all up.  Do you think you could do it?  Stephen and Mark are pretty sure they wouldn't make it, getting distracted by loud thoughts, like Stephen's gout toe, or France.  This is the simple premise of a deceptively complex book about life, love, the self, and reaching for something perfect in "Reincarnation Blues" by Michael Poore.

But one thing that is close to perfection, is a bottle of Widow Jane 10 Year Bourbon.

Tonight as the guys talk about what they forgot from All Systems Red by Martha Wells, they return to a previous bottle, Legent.  This time they try it as a cocktail with an experimental mixer purchased for a magical place called the internet.

On this episode, the guys discuss the starting tale of a Scifi series with an interesting twist and viewpoint.  Speaking of interesting twists, they will be sampling Jack Daniels Triple Mash.

Join us for another 15 minutes...or less...of the boys talking about what they forgot to talk about in Valley of Shadows by Rudy Ruiz.

This week, "Valley of Shadows" by Rudy Ruiz. The guys explore a new twist (for them) on an old genre.  A Western from a different perspective, both culturally and geographically.  This haunting and action packed western tale takes them on a journey through a world that seems both familiar and unexplored.  Bad guys.  A lone sheriff. A serial killing cult.  Magic, curses, and a sense of justice that will stop at nothing to win the day, even if it costs everything to do it.

To keep the curses at bay, the guys will revisit Willett Kentucky Bourbon, a bottle they haven't tasted since season 1.

Nothing's more terrifying than unionized dolphins.  Come listen and find out why.
