The BOP boys are back at Gilly's Clubhouse in Detroit with guest Jordan Jones — former boxer, Canadian immigrant, and the guy who famously bought TruckLawyers.com for $2,500 and then turned it into a national trucking-law empire. Bob, Mauro and Jordan talk about how Zoom depositions changed trucking litigation forever and what it takes to go from "troubled kid" to vice chair of the American Association of Justice Trucking Litigation Group. Per usual, we'll drink to that!!

Back in Detroit, the Bourbon of Proof crew goes live from the Gilly's Clubhouse rooftop with trial lawyer Jon Marko — civil-rights gunslinger and Midwest legal revolutionary.

On this episode of Bourbon of Proof, the guys are back in Detroit with Samantha Teal — the jury whisperer who wins monster verdicts without ever having gone to law school. Samantha breaks down why the most powerful courtroom question is simply, "How do you feel?", and why your Louis Vuitton bag might actually be hurting your case. Also, Bob and Mauro debate whether ordering nine Taco Bell items at 3:30am is a personality trait or just a cry for help. Cheers to fantastic bourbon and Crunchwrap Supremes!

On this episode of Bourbon of Proof, Bob and Mauro welcome Katherine Hoffmann—the only person in the room casually reviewing 1,000+ legal leads a day!

Live from Detroit, the Bourbon of Proof crew sits down with trucking-law badass and twin-wrangler Chrissy Hagen, who somehow built and sold her own firm AND founded the Sisterhood of the Eight — a group of women lawyers who drive actual semis and hand out embroidered jackets for eight-figure verdicts. Chrissy teaches the guys what "balance" really means... and they promptly ignore it. Bottoms up!!

Charleston trial lawyer Julie Moore joins Bob and Mauro for a bourbon-fueled deep dive into motherhood, med mal, and marriage to a literal judge.

Live from New York, Bob and Mauro welcome Julie Macklowe — hedge-fund boss turned whiskey ICON — who's redefining bourbon one couture bottle at a time.

Bob and Mauro sit down with Case Status founder Andy Seavers who's living proof you can go from sleeping in Walmart parking lots on tour with your band, to running your own client-care software company in a matter of years.

This week, Bob and Mauro welcome South Carolina trial lawyer-extraordinaire Kenny Berger. What starts as a serious chat about tort reform and drunk-driving laws quickly spirals into Bob misquoting James Bond, Mauro pitching tequila as a breakfast bourbon, and Kenny somehow holding it all together like the designated driver of Charleston. It's law, laughter, and maybe some mild liver damage - Bourbon of Proof in its natural habitat!
Back in Charleston, SC, the guys sit down with The Haskin Brothers to discuss their legal tech platform that's WAY smarter than your intake team (no offense). Between sips of 142-proof whiskey and Colombian moonshine, Bob and Mauro learn how Speed AI literally saves million-dollar cases. Live from Bourbon and Bubbles, here's to another BOP road show!
Bob and Mauro hit Charleston, SC and sit down with attorney and U.S. Representative Spencer Wetmore. She joins the guys to talk Dram Shop laws, tort reform, and why truth in politics is as rare as caviar on a grilled cheese. Their bonus, hyper-confused discussion about "Bourbon in the Bathroom" is just par for the course. Welcome to Southern hospitality, Bourbon of Proof-style!
This week, Bob and Mauro sit down with Bernard Taylor - firefighter, paramedic, and viral creator who decided that running into burning buildings wasn't risky enough… so he's running for CONGRESS! Bernard breaks down grassroots politics, White House MMA brawls, term limits, social media comedy and why he's positioning himself to trade the firetruck for Capitol Hill. All this over sips of a classic, 100-proof bourbon! Please DONATE to Bernard's campaign here... https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bernard-taylor-1?refcode=directory
Live from historic (and apparently haunted) Savannah, GA, Bob and Mauro sit down with the one and only Chadrick Mance. Chad breaks down what it means to build legal institutions that outlive you, why trial lawyers help shape democracy, and how he went from lawyer to professor to community leader and NAACP president. Cheers to Chadrick Mance!
Live from Savannah, the boys sit down with Florida trial lawyer, mom, TikTok legal warrior, and admitted "vodka-over-vermouth" enthusiast Shannon Schott! She breaks down tort reform chaos, TikTok fame gone wrong, waiver law, adoption ethics, and why Florida lawyers once filed 200,000 lawsuits in a panic. Grab the nearest bottle of bourbon (or vodka) and enjoy the ride!
In this Bourbon of Proof x Legal AF crossover event, the guys go full "Hot Ones but bourbon" with trial lawyer-turned-legal-media powerhouse Michael Popok. He drops constitutional knowledge bombs while Mauro drops inside information about the Waffle House menu and Bob casually pours whiskey worth more than the average used Honda. Expect Pappy. Expect politics. And expect one familiar father in the audience to proudly discuss the tattoo on his backside. BOP business as usual, enjoy!
Live from the CAALA Convention in Las Vegas, the Bourbon of Proof crew hosts a roundtable that's one part legal symposium and one part open-bar chaos. Congressman Derek Tran defends his right to wear Jordans in Congress, Marissa Roy campaigns to clean up L.A. (while taking bourbon shots like a pro), and Gerald Singleton talks about his firm's HUGE Tesla autopilot verdict. Other highlights include tales of Maker's Mark lawsuits, Taylor Swift concert ejections, and more than a few spontaneous toasts. It's civic engagement meets 120-proof whiskey—because nothing says "justice" like getting drunk in front of a live audience!
