In this extra-long episode, Mike & Jess have the distinct honor of trying Bear Fight Whiskey’s Kentucky Reserve, a beautiful whiskey aged in a tequila barrel. Perhaps it’s this unique flavor that makes them wistful, as they wax poetic about their love for Ted, their hopes for the inevitable season 2, and the joy they find in making this show together.

We couldn’t do it without YOU, folks. Thank you for joining us on this Shore Leave Series. Special thanks to Eugene Roddenberry, John Champion, Earl Green, and Tess McNally with Next Century Spirits.

Mike and Jess welcome Seth back to discuss the seventh and final episode of season 1 of Ted, “He’s Gotta Have It.” While the episode centers on Johnny’s quest to lose his virginity before prom, it delves into much deeper themes—like why you should never sit on top of a moving vehicle.

Join us next week for the last episode of our series, Talking Ted presented by Bear Fight Whiskey, where we’ll wrap up our thoughts on the first season of Ted, look forward to the second season, and perhaps have something special to sip on.

We welcome the moral compass of Ted the series, Blaire Bennett, aka Giorgia Whigham, to discuss the first episode, "Just Say Yes." We'll ask what her impression of the 90s was before doing the show, how it feels to be the person who introduced John and Ted to weed, and what it's like to be an older sister to three brothers in real life!

All that, and more!
