Maggie’s Carnival Ballistics podcast official thread 🎡

[Geno C.]

Well try and keep this up to date about what’s going on in our crazy little world. We talk about almost everything under the sun and have a great time doing it! There are bourbon reviews mixed in with our lives of shooting both, elr and prs matches, while running a carnival in the summer months. The humor has been our biggest feedback date though.

Welcome aboard and feel free to offer suggestions and feedback.

Who cares on length? Some of us like variable length as long as it's good. You can pause and listen to more later if you need to.

 

[Geno C.]

I just have always thought about a guy listening on the ride to work. Generally around an hour is what I shoot for

Length doesn't matter to me as long as the conversation is good; I will listen to it on a morning run, on my way to work, and even during work.

 

[Geno C.]

New episode is up! Covers our very unusual Black Friday ordeal Very bourbon oriented

 

[Average guy]

Been listening to some of the older episodes. Good stuff.

 

[Geno C.]

Thanks. We’re not professional by any stretch but seems to get good response from the feedback we’ve gotten

 

[Average guy]

Hopefully this thread gets you more visibility. Lots of folks relate to the content.

Seems a few of our friends are really behind this. We had our bourbon party last night,(no one died) and a friend pulled our logo off here and printed up a tank top for Jamie and myself and a long sleeve shirt for our prize table. Another friend, brought a giant cookie with our colored logo on it!

 

[HPIguy]

Just listened to the Black Friday podcast. Geno, if you don't like Scotch but like Bourbon, you're simply picking the wrong Scotch. I too hate any of the Scotches that are full of peat, or earthy, etc. The flavor profile of Scotch highly depends on the region it hails from in Scotland, and the water and other materials used in distillation. I'm very much a Speyside single malt guy, lots of fruit notes, caramels, etc and none of the topsoil set on fire flavor. A good go to is Glenfiddich 12 year, about $40 a bottle.

 

[Geno C.]

I have a few bottles around that I may revisit at some point. We had our bourbon party this last Saturday and I was asked a few times how may open bottles I have. So Sunday, after nursing a bit of a hangover, I decided to count. 123 open bottles currently. Some I enjoy a lot, and some, I don’t really care for. That’s the great thing about it all, if you like whisky, you’ll eventually find one or more that you really like.

 

[HPIguy]

Dayum! 123 bottles, yep bound to find something worth drinking for sure.

Geno you sound like me and sodas. 356 tried over 10 years. I keep pictures of them.

I do a fresh1friday every week. That and the bottles that get left at the parties add up. Sometimes I wonder if there are more people following my bourbon posts than our podcast

You gotta start giving out Bourbon Advent Calendar's.... I'm just sayin'

 

[Geno C.]

Our holiday episode is up. You never know what one of these trips to Florida and back will bring As always, we had a blast though!!

 

[oneshot86]

Bumpity for our tall friend

 

[Geno C.]

New episode is live. We go over the Gen2 6-36 a bit and it really is a great scope!

 

[Geno C.]

We have a setup for shooting shirts for those that want to show they listen. Excited to see these at some matches!!

[mercracing]

Got mine ordered!

 

[Average guy]

Done deal

 

[Geno C.]

Nice Got a few orders already. Have no clue if these will sell well or not lol

 

[BLKWLFK9]

Thats a really cool idea, Geno.

Its such a pain in the ass to do the whole swag thing yourself. im still waiting to find the Tshirt blanks that i like. Been out of stock everywhere for the last 6 months or more. I might do it this way in the future.

We didn’t want to try and stock a bunch of stuff and find out that the combination of sizes and colors wasn’t what people wanted. This seemed like an easier idea. We don’t make anything off them. It’s just for fun and advertising

 

[Average guy]

The price is attractive. Some small run shirts are so expensive a guy can’t afford it. Looking forward to mine. Seems like a good advertising idea.

 

[Geno C.]

I like the shirts for the heat. My lady is about as reasonable cost wise as I’ve ever seen. Helps she’s Buzz’s trap coach too

 

[Average guy]

Yeah they are damn reasonable for custom work.

 

[Geno C.]

Can’t say we’re not excited about these badass stone mugs!!!

 

[sirhrmechanic]

You are really not an official podcast until you have a mug!!!

Congrats!!

Got any tall ones that will fit in a cupholder?

 

[powdahound76]

Yeah, or stickers to make one of my travel cups a Carnival Ballistics cup…….

 

[Geno C.]

We don’t have any tall cups yet. We’ve talked about a Tervis style cup or other insulated type deal. This is all self funded so little at a time.

Stickers will definitely be coming. Have to find the right place to get the full color logo done.

 

[Mike Casselton]

I recall seeing a tall Christman cup at one time.
I love the one I have, but it just doesn't fit in a cup holder.

Doesn't she make one sort of like this, but using the same color scheme and flared top?

 

[Geno C.]

We have Pilsner type cups for the carnival. Sadly, the bottoms of those done quite fit in most cup holders. If there is a lot of interest in a stone cup like they, I might work with the guy to see about changing the base diameter

 

[Geno C.]

So our cup guy loves the podcast! He really enjoys the bourbon part. So much so that he made us monogrammed stone whisky cups. We’ll definitely be giving these a try.

The coffee mugs are 25+ shipping

 

[Geno C.]

Mugs are officially sold out for this first batch. Ordered more this morning

 

[roostercogburn98]

Do they come with bacon

 

[Geno C.]

Do they come with bacon

Hard to ship that Way

 

[roostercogburn98]

Fair enough, I’m probably fat enough without bacon. Let me know when the next batch shows up, and I’ll take one

Love the mugs Geno, when you get more in stock I want to pick one up.

 

[Geno C.]

They should last a little longer than 20 hours this next batch I’d think. We’ll put you guys on the list

 

[Geno C.]

Shirts were printed today! Everyone should have gotten shipping confirmation

Excellent! I ordered mine. Glad to support you and Jamie and as already mentioned, price is right. I need one for matches here in the Florida heat.
