S2E24 - In this episode, the brothers mark one year of the Bourbon and Run podcast with reflections on what they’ve learned, how the conversation has shifted them, and the importance of keeping dialogue alive across differences. From Trump’s firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner to explosive claims about UFOs and interdimensional beings, their discussion centers on secrecy, trust, and truth in a world where institutions and media narratives are increasingly questioned. The Epstein scandal resurfaces (no surprise) as a haunting example of cover-ups and power, leading into a closing meditation on whether anything we consume as “news” can be trusted.
