You Never Forget Your First…Your first tattoo, that is. This week Whiskey Business went to TAT FRANKLIN and Dino got his first tattoo at 63 years of age and the whole procedure and conversation is on this podcast in real time, accompanied by a bottle of Master Distiller #1 from Jack Daniel’s (after I signed the paperwork granting permission.)

Granted, Dino’s first tattoo wasn’t too elaborate or too intricate but it was appropriate: the molecular formula for whiskey. Mat picked out a cool manual typewriter font as well and Dino collects manual typewriters, so there was a lot of serendipity going on with this procedure. Give a listen or better yet- a view on YouTube and watch the whole thing unfold.

Get answers to questions you may have. Hear some outlandish tattoo stories, and watch Mat Franklin, a true master of his craft take you through it all.

Many thanks to Mat and his wife, Liz and Tat Franklin. They say tattoos are like potato chips and you can’t have just one. That may be true. Dino is already thinking of the next one.

This week on Whiskey Business it was just “the guys”as we realized 2024 brought “milestone” birthdays to each of us. Greg turned 40. Chip turned 60. John will be 60 in a few weeks and I turned (ahem) 65. The lively, funny and at times serious discussion ranged from where we’re at, where we’ve been and most importantly where are we going with the gas that’s still left in our life tanks. If you’ve got a big birthday coming or have had one, give a listen or watch and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! You’re not getting older, you’re getting better! Right? Right?!

In addition to explaining what she does and how it works, she also demonstrated how remote viewing happens, where with just an address she could tell you if your home is “inhabited” by someone other than YOU. It was a fascinating night of revelations, and supernatural fun that you can enjoy this Halloween. If…you…dare. Go ahead. You’ll be fine.

Compared to Clark Donley, we here at Whiskey Business are truly the amateurs as we sat across the veteran broadcaster, Clark Donley. 40 plus years in the business that started as a disc jockey, led to sportscasting on television and then 30 more years doing the news on radio, Clark has reported it all with compassion and class and off the mic became an early force in developing Ohio’s Amber Alert program as well. As he embarks on what I consider a faux retirement, Clark has entered the podcast world with OFF THE RECORD: An FBI Agent's Perspective, a podcast detailing the behind the scenes stories and cases of retired FBI agent, Harry Trombitas. It’s a podcast full of memories, some laughter and a look at how “the news” has changed over the decades.

In 2021 80% of suicides in Ohio were men. Enter MAN THERAPY, started in Colorado and adopted by Ohio in February of 2024, MAN THERAPY is a kind and yes-humorous way to approach men about therapy and feelings they never talk about because of stigmas, fears and opinions of others. Tony Coder joined Whiskey Business for a frank and again- funny podcast about men and therapy. MAN THERAPY with their faux psychiatrist, Dr. Rich Mahogany, helps men realize that’s “it’s ok to not be ok” and offers options on how to move forward. It’s not clinical. It’s not medical. But it’s definitely helpful and a great tool for getting on path to better mental health. Listen to some frank and honest discussions, revelations and maybe even take the “head test” to see where you may be or where you can direct the man in your life you care about. And then you can buy him a beer. Visit: https://mantherapy.org/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
