    Bear Fight Whiskey’s Kentucky Reserve Review & Ted Season 1 Recap

    Bear Fight Whiskey’s Kentucky Reserve Review & Ted Season 1 Recap

    In this extra-long episode, Mike & Jess have the distinct honor of trying Bear Fight Whiskey’s Kentucky Reserve, a beautiful whiskey aged in a tequila barrel. Perhaps it’s this unique flavor that makes them wistful, as they wax poetic about their love for Ted, their hopes for the inevitable season 2, and the joy they find in making this show together.

    “He’s Gotta Have It” with special guest, Seth MacFarlane

    Mike and Jess welcome Seth back to discuss the seventh and final episode of season 1 of Ted, “He’s Gotta Have It.” While the episode centers on Johnny’s quest to lose his virginity before prom, it delves into much deeper themes—like why you should never sit on top of a moving vehicle.
    Join us next week for the last episode of our series, Talking Ted presented by Bear Fight Whiskey, where we’ll wrap up our thoughts on the first season of Ted, look forward to the second season, and perhaps have something special to sip on.

Fun listen, but bad politics.

They need to keep the left wing crap out of the show.
