    On this episode of Southern Gentlemen, Chris and Winston kick things off with a question every grown man ought to wrestle with: if you had to choose one style of food for the rest of your life, what's it gonna be? American classics, Italian comfort food, Mexican staples, Asian flavors, or something else entirely. Strong opinions were shared, appetites were stirred, and somebody may have revealed more about themselves than intended.

    Then Winston gives an update on the new medical device he's been experimenting with, what led him to try it, and whether it's helping or just making life more interesting.

    Finally, the guys dive into the recent executive order signed by Donald Trump that opens the door for trials involving psychedelic drugs to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, addiction, and severe Major Depressive Disorder. They discuss what this could mean medically, legally, and spiritually - and the bigger questions society may be facing in the years ahead. It's thoughtful, funny, and a little wild... just how we like it.

    This one's got a little bit of everything - and it starts in the barber's chair.

    Chris kicks things off with a downright bizarre conversation he overheard mid-haircut that had him questioning everything. Then Winston shows up in an air cast and finally tells the story of what went wrong (and it's exactly the kind of story you'd expect).

    From there, Chris recaps an all-time guys golf trip to Charleston during Masters week - early tee times, late nights, steaks on the grill, cocktails flowing, and plenty of laughs watching Augusta unfold. It's everything a proper trip ought to be.

    He also takes us behind the scenes of the zMAX CARS Tour race at the Nashville Fairgrounds, where Yonder Custom Hats had a car on the track. From sponsorship to race day energy, it's a look at what it's like to step into the world of short track racing and be a small part of something big.

    To wrap it all up, Chris shares some hard-earned wisdom on how to plan the perfect guys golf trip - what matters, what doesn't, and how to make sure it's a trip your crew will be talking about for years.

    Good stories, a few lessons, and plenty of laughs along the way.

  • Unexpected Company: Ray Casias - Part One

    Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you never see coming.

    In this third installment of our Unexpected Company series, Chris and Winston sit down with a complete stranger - no name, no background, no prep. Just a recommendation from our last guest, Allen Blaxton, and a willingness to see where the conversation leads.

    Enter Ray Casias.

    What unfolds is one of the most compelling stories we've had on the show. Ray shares how he found his way to the mic, his military service that took him all the way to the DMZ, and the path that led him into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We hear how he met his wife, how that journey shaped his life, and how it ultimately led to the founding of Tennessee Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

    But it doesn't stop there.

    For more than 15 years, Ray has worked closely with soldiers at Fort Campbell, helping train and prepare them for the realities of hand-to-hand combat. His perspective on discipline, readiness, and what it truly means to be prepared is something every man can learn from.

    There's so much depth in this conversation - so many stories, lessons, and moments - that we knew we couldn't fit it all into one episode.

    So consider this Part One.

    And trust us… you're gonna want to come back for Part Two.
