Lightsabers, Legacy, and Liquor Deals... May the 4th Be Boozy! S12/E10 #142

This week on We Can Help with Dave & Woody, the guys cover everything from lightsabers to liquor cabinets—and somehow make it all make sense.They kick things off in a galaxy far, far away, breaking down the brilliance of George Lucas making the greatest business decision in movie history (hint: it wasn’t the plot—it was the merch). Along the way, Dave and Woody reflect on surviving the dark ages when liking Star Wars made you a “nerd”… instead of a billionaire-in-training.From there, things get smoky and spirited—literally—as they dive into bourbon history, including Congress officially declaring bourbon America’s native spirit back in 1964 (because freedom apparently tastes like oak and poor decisions). Dave also plants his flag firmly in the cigar world with some love for La Aroma de Cuba—because nothing says “deep conversation” like a double Corona and questionable life advice.Then it’s business time: billion-dollar bourbon battles, family empires, and the very real question—what happens when your great-grandkids would rather TikTok than run a distillery? The guys break down the rumored $15 billion play for Brown-Forman and what it says about legacy, money, and when to finally say, “yeah… let’s sell.”Finally, Dave drops the big news: retirement is almost here. One last bell, a trip to Pittsburgh for a graduation, and then it’s on to the next chapter—possibly involving a six-figure salary, fewer teenagers, and significantly better coffee. Oh—and because no episode is complete without it, they also unpack why Cinco de Mayo is way more of an American holiday than a Mexican one.It’s history, humor, business, bourbon, and just enough bad decisions to keep things interesting.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-can-help-with-dave-woody--5807494/support.
