The guys toast to Derek's military service with 132-proof bourbon, debate the ethics of whiskey gifts for public officials, and—as is often the case—somehow end up talking about Mauro's underwear.

This week on Bourbon of Proof the guys welcome Joe Rodonis, a fitness coach and mental strength junkie who immediately questions how he ended up on a legal podcast.

Their chat gets philosophical, a little sweaty, and possibly competitive as Bob and Mauro settle things the only way that makes sense: a push-up contest. Grab your favorite bourbon-infused protein shake and join the reps, rants, and ridiculousness — LFG!!
