It’s one of those Happy Hours where the guys aren’t drinking the same thing — because Fingers Malloy is battling a near-death chest cold and broadcasting from a separate location with Vicks, questionable medical advice, and zero sense of smell.

Tony Katz goes back to the well with Blue Run High Rye Bourbon (111 proof), breaking down why it’s a must-have despite the $90–$100 price tag, from the caramel sweetness to the rye spice and that butterscotch finish that just keeps working. Fingers, meanwhile, abandons the hot toddy plan (no honey… and no honey guy) and leans hard into holiday comfort with Evan Williams Peppermint White Chocolate Eggnog — under $10, 30 proof, and allegedly approved by “doctors everywhere.”

From there, Happy Hour does what it does best: a brutally honest conversation about money, insane car prices, $1,000 monthly payments, why paying cash still matters, and how used trucks suddenly feel like the only sane option. The guys also dig into interest rates, precious metals, AI replacing jobs, which careers are actually safe, and why some work simply can’t be automated.

No scripts. No structure.
Just bourbon, eggnog, economics, and the kind of conversation that happens when the microphones stay on, and the clock stops mattering.
