What new bourbon are we pumped about? Which hiking trail are we exploring? Why is the next supercar so cool? The Manual is dedicated to helping men live a more engaged life. Each week, our editors and guests get together for a round-table discussion about what’s new, exciting, and unique in the men’s lifestyle world. So pop open your favorite brew, step into your man cave, and start streaming.
For this week’s episode of Beards, Booze, and Bacon: The Manual Podcast, the round-table discusses what else? The 2018 Winter Olympics, because how could we not, since its playing on literally every television in every home, bar, airport lounge, and smartphone across the world.
Associate Editor, Chase McPeak; Food and Spirits Editor, Sam Slaughter; Content Creator, Jake Rossman; and of course, host, Greg Nibler fill out the roster on this week’s podcast where they all wax poetic about the madness of humans strapping themselves onto bits of wood and hurling themselves down a frozen mountain slope, balancing on razor thin blades while spinning and twirling on ice, and strapping onto a sled while blasting down a frozen half-tube.
The conversation ranges from America’s domination of Snowboarding at the podium to the guys’ biggest “oh hell no” Winter Olympic sport to the best type of cocktail to sip while watching the games, including one entitled Svedka’s Stars and Stripes, which might have led to a new drinking competition.
So guys, thanks for listening, drink up, and USA, USA, USA!
