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.

In this week's episode of The Southern Gentlemen Podcast, Chris and Winston kick things off by answering a listener's voicemail asking the all-important question: what's the best way to prepare a Thanksgiving turkey? The fellas share their favorite tips (and a few cautionary tales).

Then things take a turn when Chris shares his experience with his first-ever mud mask treatment, leading to a discussion on self-care, ritual, and relaxation.

The guys also recap the final NASCAR race of the year and unpack another championship that slipped through Denny Hamlin's fingers. They also dive into the fragmentation of today's media world, including how the Disney–YouTube spat threw a wrench in weekend SEC football viewing.

Finally, they discuss Michelin's new Southern dining guide and what it means for food culture below the Mason-Dixon line. And just when things start to settle down, Winston makes a surprise phone call live on the air that catches everyone off guard.

It's equal parts humor, hospitality, and heartfelt Southern banter — just the way we like it.

In this week's episode of Southern Gentlemen, Chris and Winston cover a little bit of everything. They kick things off by answering a listener's question about vow renewals, share why they decided to delete their TikTok account, and then Chris tells the wild story of accidentally booking a night for he and his wife to stay at what used to be a brothel. Winston gives an update on his ongoing Alpha-gal journey, and the guys wrap things up with a spirited conversation about Coach Tony Vitello's big move from leading the Tennessee Volunteers baseball team to managing the San Francisco Giants. It's a mix of laughs, lessons, and a whole lot of Southern charm.
