You know, I bought you all microphones.

At some point, I'm just going to have to buy you the actual computers to go with it.

It's like, this is just your perfect community around table computer.

Don't mess it up.

I actually just called Comcast and said, hey, I think my internet's supposed to be on somebody else's bill.

I don't know if you just search like for the pursuit or how you link these things.

This is Bourbon Pursuit, the official podcast of Bourbon, bringing to you the best in news, reviews, and interviews with people making the bourbon whiskey industry happen.
