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.

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.

Will Chambers: "F**k Yelp"
