Whiskey Business

Whiskey Business mixes the sweet with the salty when we sit down with Charly Bauer from Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream. He traces the humble beginnings of how Jeni Bauer started this now nation wide franchise in Columbus, Ohio. From a failed beginning to a grand return that set the stage for a national phenomenon, the Jeni's story is a testament to success, perseverance, and a reminder that dreams are only as strong as the person who has them. Charly's delicious samples mixed well with our guest bottle of Minor Case Rye Whiskey. Yeah...straight rye whiskey and sweet Jeni's Ice Cream. It doesn't get much tastier than this.

Part podcast. Part comedy show. Part gameshow. You get it all when Whiskey Business presents The Premise recorded live on The Upfront Stage at Shadowbox Live in Columbus, Ohio. The Premise made its grand return on 1/16 and will be back on the third Thursday of the month through July. Two comedians are handed a “premise” they haven’t seen or heard until that night. Then they have 20 minutes to write 3-5 minutes of standup which they then perform in front of a live audience. Comedian Nickey Winkelman, a Shadowbox regular and one of the hosts of Quiz Box, returned to try and notch a win. She went up against Jeff Gage, one of Columbus’ best comedic improvisers and teachers of the craft. The results were a no-lose situation for the audience. Guest comic, Kenny Mock rocked the house and sat down for a one on one with host, Dino Tripodis. Kenny Mock is one of the hosts of the podcast Comedians on South High, a touring comedian and a regular performer on Norwegian Cruise Lines. An amazing night of comedy, convers

Jack Daniels Assistant Master Distiller Chris Fletcher helps Dino and the gang kick off 2020 with an amazing interview.  The guest bottle is Jack Daniels No. 27 Gold, which until recently was only available out of the country and in duty-free shops.  Fletcher answers everything you ever wanted to know about Jack Daniels including how it's made, what's with the charcoal filter, and the million dollar question...Is Jack technically considered a bourbon? A new, fun, insightful "whiskey educational" podcast that kicks off 2020 in fine whiskey fashion.

Our last podcast before a holiday break was our Whiskey Business Holiday Office Party, with a White Elephant gift exchange to boot. It was also a chance to get Hansberry and YouTube producer, John Whitney in the mix as we talked about the holidays amongst ourselves...until the holiday doorbell started ringing! Listen for some special guests who just “dropped on by” to share some holiday cheer. Whiskey Business would not exist without you, the listeners and viewers. We sincerely thank you and look forward to a bigger, better and whiskier (not a word) NEW YEAR! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Whiskey Business welcomes back Arch Madness from the podcast Vinyl Analysis to talk about his 5 part series "Pantera. Dimebag. The Alrosa Villa. A Fan's Journey." His series revisits the mass shooting at the classic rock venue, The Alrosa Villa which took the life Darrell “Dimebag” Abbot and others. 12/8/19 marked the 15th anniversary of the tragedy. This episode isn’t all about that tragedy as Dino and the gang go down some other rabbit holes as well, including: Santa Claus, teen masturbation (no, they’re not related) all while sharing a bottle of Early Times Bottled in Bond bourbon. An appropriate bottle as we discuss good times and bad times on this week’s Whiskey Business. Listen to "Pantera. Dimebag. The Alrosa Villa.

Dino and the Whiskey Business crew went on location to Columbus’ own WATERSHED DISTILLERY. They spoke with owner Greg Lehman on how the whole business got started, his history with pigs and his time spent playing professional sports. Yes. Quite possibly one of the sweetest pro sports gigs ever. Greg was also an exceptional host as he brought out the entire line of Watershed products for us to sample making our time in the Barrel Room a place we did not want to leave.

Fitz Bailey, Brand Ambassador for Cooper's Craft, joins Dino and the guys to talk whiskey, family, and the oddest cocktail he's ever made. Fitz also gives the "day drinking sots" a whiskey education while they sample the 100 and 82.2 proof Cooper's Craft. This new juice is currently only available in 13 states, and Ohio is fortunate to be one of them. So cheers to Brown Forman, we'll spread the word!

November is Men’s Health Awareness Month, a month focusing on men’s prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health issues. This week on Whiskey Business, Dino and his crew talked with a recent survivor and a current fighter. Dan Skinner, a professor at Ohio University is a survivor of testicular cancer. Russ Hubbard is currently battling Stage 4 prostate cancer. Both men had unique perspectives as to where they are and where they are going in their personal battles, both emotionally and physically speaking. As is the case, on Whiskey Business we discussed it all over a good pour of Old Scout 107 American Whiskey. While Russ wanted to partake, he could not as he had just gone through another round of chemotherapy that same afternoon. Both men were open and honest and quite frank about their battles. And yes, their was humor as it always seems to be a medicine we need no matter what the illness. It’s a special episode and one that everyone can relate to as sadly we all know someone who is fighting o

Actor, Ralph Scott, joins Dino and the Whiskey Business crew to talk about a lifetime of being able to see the dead.  He frightens the guys with some of the ghostly encounters that he's experienced.  The Old Forester 1910 they share doesn't enhance the stories, but it's a good bottle to have on hand once their skin starts to crawl.  Plus, there turns out to be a creepy coincidence with the year 1910 as the tales unfold.

Comedian, film maker, and politician, Travis Irvine, brings his odd mix of ambition to Whiskey Business.  He talks about his political campaigns for Mayor of Bexley, Ohio; and Governor of Ohio. Plus, as things get political we ask the million dollar question...should Dino run for office?  On a lighter lighter side, Travis dishes on his new movie, Killer Raccoons 2: Dark Christmas in the Dark. All this and more accompanied by a bottle of Sinatra Select, which Dino cracked open as a "thank you and cheers" to Brown Forman after being included in a Jack Daniels barrel selection with Ohio Liquor Control.
