Go With Your Palate: Warner | Snob-Free Wine, Real Talk & Confidence in Every Pour

This week, we’re joined by Warner, the fearless, funny, totally snob-free sommelier and wine educator behind @confidenceuncorked—the creator shaking up the wine world with honesty, humor, and a mission to make wine actually accessible.

From her unconventional leap from Texas advertising to California vineyards, Warner shares how a simple Manchego-and-wine pairing sent her down a rabbit hole that ultimately led to sommelier studies, community-building, and a full-blown movement to remove intimidation from wine culture.

We dig into everything from her Graze Craze collaboration to the art of trolling trolls with grace, creating inclusive wine spaces, and why she refuses to gatekeep anything—from education to enjoyment. And because this is Go With Your Palate, we can’t resist a little friendly chaos: In-N-Out vs. Whataburger battles, unexpected food pairings, and a teaser about a… let’s call it a hairy experiment from our host Joe that you’ll have to hear to believe.

If you love wine, hate pretension, and appreciate people who show up 100% themselves, Warner’s story is pure inspiration—with a whole lot of laughs along the way. Grab a glass and come hang!

Go With Your Palate: Carrot Top | Comedy, Chaos & The Legend of the Props

This week, we sit down with the one-and-only Carrot Top — the legendary king of prop comedy, Las Vegas icon, and a performer who’s been making audiences laugh for over three decades. From his early days on college stages to his long-running residency at the Luxor, Carrot Top has evolved his act into a fast-paced, high-energy blend of prop invention, storytelling, and pure comedic chaos.

We get into how his comedy has shifted over the years — especially during COVID — from purely prop-driven punchlines to a more story-forward style that reveals just how much timing, craft, and heart goes into his work. (Let’s just say… there’s a reason Joe ends up calling him a doctor of comedy.)

Carrot Top shares unbelievable behind-the-scenes stories: including a surprise Hulk Hogan moment — “Ohhh yeah, brother!”, fan encounters you’ll have to hear to believe, and what it’s like to be recognized not just for stand-up, but for unforgettable pop-culture appearances (shoutout to those iconic AT&T commercials).

We also dive into the props themselves — how they come together, where the inspiration hits, and how sometimes, a joke invention turns into something we’d actually want to buy.

It’s hilarious, honest, and full of the kind of stories you only get from someone who has truly seen it all in comedy.

Pour a glass, loosen up, and get ready — this one is a wild ride in the best way.
