We’re Kent and Kyle, two brothers with different political views who sit down, pour a drink, and talk it out. We explore big issues from opposite sides of the political spectrum. We don’t agree on everything, but we believe that relationships grounded in respect can be nourished through honest, curious conversations. Our Mission: To inspire hope and encourage more honest conversations, because meaningful connection is possible, even across deep divides. At Bourbon & Rum, we’re choosing connection over conflict. So pull up a seat, pour yourself a drink, and tune in. Cheers!Clark Content Ciencias Sociales

  • Can We Quit Talking About Epstein?
    Jul 31 2025

    Duration: 34:56 | Recorded on July 26, 2025
    S2E22 – Today's episode focuses on the unfolding revelations surrounding the Epstein case and its wider implications. The brothers express frustration with the lack of transparency from both the Trump and Biden administrations regarding the released documents, leading to speculation about a potential cover-up or "deep state" involvement that transcends partisan lines. Ultimately, the conversation revolves around the desire for truth and accountability in the Epstein scandal, and the pervasive feeling that official responses have only fueled further questions and distrust.

  • Epstein Files: Nothing, Everything, or Something Else?
    Jul 24 2025

    Duration: 47:20 | Recorded on July 19, 2025

    S2E21 - Kent and Kyle tackle the renewed attention on the Jeffrey Epstein case—what’s really behind the delays and redactions, why the public still demands answers, and how Trump’s response has fractured his own base. The brothers explore three core theories: there’s truly nothing to see, the truth implicates too many powerful figures, or Epstein was tied to intelligence agencies from the start. With frustration mounting over gaslighting and missed opportunities for transparency, their conversation turns to political fallout, moral leadership, and the shifting ground of public trust. A candid and sometimes raw exchange between brothers that spans conspiracies, personal disillusionment, and the hope for real dialogue beyond partisan lines.
