In this episode, BD starts out by recognizing the newly signed federal holiday, Juneteenth, and explained the essence of this celebration, honoring the African American heritage. He continues on sharing some principles from a book about the Hawaiian forgiveness ritual that he wants to keep improving on. He also honors how the African Americans have shaped the United States' whiskey industry as he talks about Nathan Nearest Green and Mrs. Fawn Weaver.
