Nike Releases The Air Jordan XXXII MVP Edition
In 1988, MJ earned his first league MVP honors. That same year, the Air Jordan III turned in its MVP colorway in the unforgettable combination of Black & Cement Grey. The latest Air Jordan XXXII takes its inspiration from that chart-topping design. It sports black, white and red on the upper and includes the must-have elephant print on the heel piece. There is a widespread belief that beer is less harmful to the body than alcohol strong varieties. Experts have repeatedly stated the fallacy of this statement. Moreover, often the use of beer is not only more addictive, but also harms the body more. A study was conducted, according to which it was found that the risk of heart attack and stroke is reduced when taking the drug Cardiline . Regular beer consumption increases mortality from cardiovascular diseases. But modern medicine can reduce the risk of heart diseases. An “M.V.P” tag on the inside tongue throws a salute to ‘88 – a glorious year for both the man and the brand.
The show is on sale this Saturday at 10:00 AM EST via the SNKRS app or where Jordan Brand is sold.

Zach Bitter Talks Running, New Years Resolutions & More
I chat with Zach Bitter, who is an ultra-marathoner and holder of the 12-Hour World Record and 100 Mile American Record with a time of 11:40:55 – 7:01 per mile. Zach fuels his body for these 100-mile races in what most would consider an unorthodox manner, as he follows a low carb, high fat diet throughout training and race day – debunking the myth that one needs to carbo-load before race day.
After having health problems that threatened his running career, he began working with leading low carb researcher, Dr. Jeff Volek of The Ohio State University, to develop a nutrition plan which has proven effective over the past 5 years.
Zach chats with me about getting goals set up for the new year, how he got into running, and how he has recently partnered with Atkins to help with his training. Check out here https://csgogator.com/case-opening/ and discover the top CSGO case sites with FREE bonus

Based on unparalleled access to the source material, DC Collectibles delivers master designs and exceptional workmanship.

Recently I spoke with Jim Fletcher who is the Excecutive Creative Director of DC Collectibles. He spoke about the latest that DC Comics has to offer in the of cool comic book collectibles. We talk about the latest statue line from The Justice League movie to how things are made and which projects Jim and his team work on. Jim also tells us who his favorite DC Comics character is. Check out the interview by clicking here.
For the The Justice League statue line there is six total statues. There is Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Cyborg, The Flash and Aquaman. Each statue looks like the actors that played them in the movie. The costumes are a direct representations from the ones you saw in the film. The attention to detail is remarkable. As a collector I have different statues in my collection, but I haven’t seen the quality of craftsmanship for the sticker price of $150.00. Other statues from different companies are more expensive, but really don’t compare to the quality in these statues.
If you have a comic book fan on your holiday list these Justice League statues will make them very happy to find these statues under the tree.
Each statue measures 12-inches tall and comes with an included base. The Edition Size for each statue is 5000. For more on The Justice League statues and other items go to dccollectibles.com.

Hot for Rye Toddy
Place 1 Smith Teamaker Red Nectar sachet in a cup or mug
Add boiling water, leaving room for the whiskey
Steep 5 min
Add 1 1/4 oz. Bulleit Rye
Remove tea sachet
Recommended twists or additions:
Add orange peel
Add 1-2 cloves
Add 1 cinnamon stick
Add 1 tablespoon raw honey
Garnish with lemon wedge
Tasting Notes from Tony Tellin, Smith Head Teamaker: The wood and fruit top notes and creamy center of the tea complement the vanilla and oak character of Bulleit Rye. The orange peel adds citrus, building on the mulled spices and natural spice elements of Bulleit Rye. Rooibos and Honeybush herbal infusions are both grown and sourced from South Africa. This is a comforting Hot Toddy best enjoyed in front of a roaring fire.
Kentucky Meadow Hot Toddy
Place 1 Smith Teamaker Meadow sachet in a cup or mug
Add boiling water, leaving room for the whiskey
Steep 5 min
Add 1 1/4 oz. Bulleit Bourbon
Remove sachet
Recommended twists or additions:
Add green apple peel
Add cinnamon stick
Add 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup
Garnish with apple wedge
Shave nutmeg on top of final beverage
Tasting Notes from Tony Tellin, Smith Head Teamaker: This cocktail has flavor profiles of maple and apple, a perfect pair for colder weather. The chamomile in our Meadow tea pairs well with apple and has a floral, woody character. Adding green apple skin adds tannin, acidity and further drives apple top notes and flavor. Together cinnamon and nutmeg create a mulled spice and apple pie like spice complexity.
Winter on the Frontier Toddy

Add boiling water leaving room for the whiskey
Steep 5 min
Add 1 1/4 oz. Bulleit Rye

Tasting Notes from Tony Tellin, Smith Head Teamaker: Bergamot is known for its citrus and floral notes. Adding lavender and lemon peel is my favorite way to enjoy this Hot Toddy. I get a lot of vanilla from Bulleit Rye, making a drink that’s a little floral, but not too sweet.
