Whiskey Neat With Kristopher Hart

I am joined this week by Houston Comic Superstar, Ali Siddiq and we discuss his mission to change the mindset of the Houston Comedic Fan Mindset. He joins me this week to discuss why he never left Houston when he hit it big and of course, his next comedy special, filmed right here in Houston at the Improv. We work through the mindset of comedy fans and of course comics on why they leave the city in an effort to make it big with many making no effort to support their hometown's talent.

This week I catch up with a long time friend, Morgan Weber. Founder of Marfa Spirits Company and someone who just released an absolute RARE offering unseen in today's spirits environment.  A Sub $50 1 liter 95 proof Sotol.  As many may remember I discussed the nonsense happening in the Mexican Spirits category a while back and the criminal behavior by some in this industry taking advantage of the category.  It was nice catching up.

This week I had the extreme pleasure to talk to Writer and Director John Pollono to discus his new film "Small Engine Repair" which will premiere Nationwide in Movie Theatres on September 10th. As a father of Teenage daughters I was enthralled by the film and just had to speak to him. A really down-to-earth guy who happens to be a father himself. This great film hit home for me and it was a delight to speak with him.  Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors.

Gather around family as we tell you a heartwarming story. One of Heroes and Villains. This story has everything. A High School Education, High Cholesterol, Haters, and the shortest tiniest attempt at a brand launch you have ever seen. Over the past two weeks, Netflix's "Last Chance U" Coach Jason Brown has completely gone off on someone for simply posting a picture of his product. No insults. No real negative comment was made by the OP. Just simply a picture of a product that he has named "Slapdick: Real Agave Whiskey" Since her post Coach JB has not only unleashed a plethora of sexist, overly graphic, perverse, and hateful comments aimed specifically at her, he has doxed her place of work and encouraged all of his followers to go over to her page and harass her all while accusing her of clout chasing.   This archaic and wildly inappropriate behavior is being ridiculed across the Whiskey World and has spawned a wave of support within the Whiskey Community in her direction and led to his distributor dropp

This week we catch up with Todd Grube. He makes his return to the show and we discuss his new job and a peculiar phenomenon in spirits that so few people are aware of. This episode is not an attack at anyone directly but more of just a cathartic discussion over a little-known trend happening in Mexican spirits. This is sure to be polarizing but keep in mind the discussion isn't meant to be an attack on anyone specifically. A cathartic time was had by all.

This week we bring back the great conversation we had with Matthew McConaughey on his new book Greenlights. We hate to miss this week but big things are coming. Please bear with us.  ****************************************************************************** We follow up last weeks great discussion with the Bourbon Junkies with the ineffable Matthew McConaughey. We talk about his new memoir, Greenlights. We discuss family, marriage, raising kids and embarrassing ourselves in front of other celebrities. We of course talk about Wild Turkey and I pitch to him a couple ideas that Todd Grube and I came up with. Todd rendered a few graphics for our pitch and you know what.... I think you'd be surprised at his response. Matthew was an interesting discussion and his book can be found everywhere books are sold.

The war rages on in the great Tennessee Whiskey Bourbon debate. For decades it has largely been a debate on one particular Tennessee Whiskey, Jack Daniels. Well enter Player 2. The genius mind that is Nicole Austin, General Manager and Head Distiller are George Dickel has led the charge in releasing the new 8yr. George Dickel Bourbon. A Bourbon Labeled product from George Dickel for the first time in decades is challenging the notion that Tennessee whiskey is NOT bourbon. Well of course it is. This week I sit down with Nicole to discuss the new product and to hit the discussion head on and hopefully in a way that has not yet been done before. A good time was had by all.
