EPISODE SUMMARY
Here a few highlights from this week’s episode of The Fred Minnick Show:
QUOTABLES
“It brings further possibility of inclusion on all levels from all of us. … If more people in this country were less concerned with protecting their whatever it is and more with connecting with one another, I think that much like sipping a good whiskey together and talking some shit that you know great understanding and empathy comes from those things. … This whiskey like any good whiskey is going to bring people together, should be bringing people together, and creating an atmosphere of talks that will progress us in a way that I don’t think politicians and arguments will.” -Killer Mike, talking about how the recognition of Nearest Green’s whiskey legacy can apply to current events.
