Dan welcomes actor Dulé Hill, entertainment industry veteran Tom Caltabiano, and Brad Japhe for an episode that pairs exceptional Scotch whisky with a candid, wide-ranging conversation about the state of modern entertainment.

As the foursome explore an impressive lineup of whiskies from Glenglassaugh, The Glenlivet, Rosebank, Glen Scotia, and Laphroaig, they dig into the seismic changes reshaping Hollywood, from the shifting economics of television and film to the challenges facing creative talent in an industry that seems increasingly unsure of what audiences actually want. Along the way, they share stories, insights, and plenty of laughs, with a special appearance by Martingale Cognac adding a little French sophistication to an otherwise Scottish affair.

It's an entertaining collision of show business and the spirits business, featuring great whisky, strong opinions, and an unfiltered look at an entertainment industry in the midst of a major identity crisis.

Liqueurs don't always get the respect they deserve. We're here to change that. Just in time for National Liqueur Day, Dan Dunn and acclaimed spirits writer Brad Japhe explore one of the drinking world's most colorful, versatile, and deliciously misunderstood categories. It's a spirited journey through centuries of history, fascinating origin stories, closely guarded recipes, and the people who turned humble botanical concoctions into some of the world's most beloved drinks. Along the way, Dan and Brad celebrate an all-star lineup featuring Disaronno, Tia Maria, Averna, Fernet-Branca, Aperol, Campari, Sarti Rosa, Domaine de Canton, Hpnotiq, and PAMA.

From Italian aperitivo culture and the enduring appeal of amaro to the surprising stories behind iconic bottles, this episode is a full-throated celebration of the sweeter, bitterer, and occasionally weirder side of the spirits world. Consider it our love letter to liqueur. Sealed with a kiss. Served with a twist.

It’s cocktail hour, and Anna Vocino is here to make sure there’s something good to eat with whatever’s in your glass. The actress, comedian, bestselling cookbook author and founder of Eat Happy Kitchen joins Dan to talk about her new book, Eat Happy Cocktail Hour: Deliciously Gluten Free and Low Carb Sips, Dips, and Bites and the art of eating and drinking well without sucking all the fun out of it.

Also on the show, Dan revisits an article he wrote years ago about the ruination of one of Venice Beach’s most iconic streets and discovers, somewhat depressingly, that the damn thing may be even more relevant today than when he wrote it. And finally: Ever wonder what it would be like to have drinks with Yoda? Of course you have. Well, wonder no more.
