    In this Thanksgiving-themed episode of the Southern Gentlemen Podcast, Chris and Winston roll up their sleeves and dive into one of the most important conversations of the holiday season: the side dishes. The fellas each reveal their Top 5 Favorite Thanksgiving Sides, from the classics that never fail to the under-the-radar dishes that deserve more love at the family table.

    Along the way, they share stories from past Thanksgivings, debate the proper ratio of dressing to gravy, and confess the one side dish they absolutely cannot stand - the kind that makes them shake their heads and wonder why it keeps showing up every year.

    It's a fun, flavorful, and very Southern conversation full of laughs, strong opinions, and maybe even a little gentle judgment. Pull up a chair, grab a plate, and join the boys as they talk all things Thanksgiving.

  • What Women Carry

    In this episode of the Southern Gentlemen Podcast, Chris walks into the studio carrying something a little unexpected… his wife Kimberly's purse. Naturally, this leads to a brand-new game where Winston has to blindly guess the wild assortment of things that might be hiding inside. From mystery lotions to receipts of unknown origin, the fellas stumble into plenty of laughs as they dig through the depths of "the bag."

    But like most things on this show, the fun opens the door to something a bit deeper. Chris and Winston end up talking about how men and women carry things differently in life — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually, too. They explore why women often feel responsible for so much unseen weight, why men tend to just "stuff it down and keep movin'," and how couples can share the load a little better.

    It's a mix of humor, honesty, and good old Southern reflection — exactly what you'd expect from a couple of front-porch philosophers with microphones. Tune in for some laughs, a few surprises, and a conversation that might just stick with you.

  • Unexpected Company #2 with Special Guest Allen Blaxton
    Nov 13 2025

    Watch the video version on YouTube.

    In this moving installment of The Southern Gentlemen Podcast, Chris and Winston sit down with their next "Unexpected Company" guest, Allen Blaxton — a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Navy who spent two of those years as Maintenance Officer for the legendary Blue Angels. Allen was introduced to the show by our previous "Unexpected Company" guest, Michael Farren, and his story takes listeners on a powerful journey through service, music, loss, and faith.

    After retiring from the Navy, Allen traded fighter jets for drumsticks, becoming a full-time professional drummer. But the heart of this conversation centers on something far deeper — the heartbreaking loss of his son, Isaac, to a fentanyl overdose in 2023. Chris, Winston, and Allen talk openly about grief, marriage through tragedy, and the power of community in the face of unimaginable pain.

    It's an honest, emotional, and ultimately hopeful conversation about love, resilience, and the ways we keep showing up — for ourselves, for our families, and for one another.
