Steak Bourbon and Sports Ep. 39 Is Santa Drunk? On this weeks episode of Steak, Bourbon & Sports Jeremy Mandel (@jeremymandel) and Ari Temkin (@arisports) question if it will be an asterisk college football season if Ohio State wins the national Championship because they have played half the amount of games as other teams, the great and charitable things to come out of bourbon collecting, Jeremys stash of bourbon in his temporary home, and rooting for players not teams. Follow along on Instagram: @SteakBourbonSports Follow on twitter: @SBSPod Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2CJteXOLZSNWan4FS7iU8w?sub_confirmation=1 2:11 Tuesday nights this time of year are reserved for arguments mainly because college football rankings are released on Tuesday nights. 5:36 Ari Temkin: "With all due respect to Ohio State, if they win the national championship this year, it will be an asterisk season." The SEC and ACC teams have played almost double the amount of games as the Pac 12 and Big 10 teams, so if a Big 10 team won, would it be fair? 14:13 A cool thing in the world of bourbon is what most bourbon collectors do with some of their disposable income, and that is donate.

I've been rooting for this guy (James Harden) who didn't clearly give a damn about us, the city, the team or the franchise or anything, he just cared about himself." 34:22 Fandom will always be a part of the fabric that makes sports good, but generationally we are going away from rooting for teams and moving towards rooting for players. 39:35 Jeremy Mandel: "I'm trying to get myself a championship is different than i'm trying to bring this franchise a championship."     Available for download on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and on clnsmedia.com  

Steak Bourbon and Sports Ep. 38 Yelp and Other Overrated and Useless Tools Guest: Will Chambers Twitter: @_WillChambers On this weeks episode of Steak, Bourbon & Sports Jeremy Mandel (@jeremymandel) and Ari Temkin (@arisports) welcome Will Chambers from 105.3 The Bull because he is from Kentucky and that is where bourbon is made. Ari, Jeremy and Will discuss the price point of good whiskey, the fact that the history of bourbon can tell the history of our country, if professional athletes can decide if they want to honor their contracts, and eating sushi off of human beings. Follow along on Instagram: @SteakBourbonSports Follow on twitter: @SBSPod Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2CJteXOLZSNWan4FS7iU8w?sub_confirmation=1 2:50 Will Chambers did not anticipate University of Kentucky Wildcats to look like the hot dumpster fire that they did on Sunday playing Georgia Tech. 6:15 The reason Ari and Jeremy have Will Chambers on this episode  is that he is from the great state of Kentucky. 9:51 Ari Temkin: "You can spend hundreds of dollars, but you don't have to, to get good bourbon." 12:46 When Will Chambers first got to Texas, his brother-in-law took him to Total Wine and Spirits, where they had 1.75 liter bottles of Weller Special Reserve for $30. Those bottles would not stay on the shelves in Kentucky because everyone there knows Pappy Van Winkle comes from Weller. 16:36 Will Chambers thoughts on the book Pappyland by Wright Thompson. 18:26 Will Chambers went to college and was friends with Preston Van Winkle, Pappy Van Winkle's grandson. 24:01 Jeremy references a book called Bourbon Justice, and that you can essentially tell the history of the United States by going thru the history of Bourbon. 27:49 Do athletes, specifically basketball players, just get to decide if they want to honor contracts? 35:30 Will Chambers: "I've banked on Russell and James Harden for their style and the way that they play, and how I feel like that's not the way that you can build a team in order to win a championship. Make no mistake about it, those guys give every inch of their soul, and they do it every single night." 38:15 As a professional basketball player, you cannot expect to win a championship alone. You must trust your team preseason, regular season, and during the playoffs. 39:07 Ari Temkin: "Is it socially acceptable to be eating sushi off of another human being?" UNLV's quarterback Max Gilliam was featured on Bravo's hit Tv show Below Deck doing that. 45:45 Will Chambers: "F**k Yelp"   Available for download on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and on clnsmedia.com
