This time on Bourbon of Proof, Bob and Mauro bring you the best of BOP's bourbon-soaked trip to Louisville, featuring a rotating cast of trial lawyers with big cases, bigger verdicts, and some very strong opinions about AI. The crew talks about everything from using AI in the courtroom to why mediocre lawyers may soon be an endangered species. Things take a turn when they conduct a completely unprepared cross-examination of a guest whose name surfaced in the Epstein files—and who just happens to be sitting at the table.

Once again, the guys are live from Louisville with trucking trial lawyer and self-proclaimed "Ginger Wolverine" Jay Vaughn. Bob, Mauro and Jay talk about everything from taking on Amazon in catastrophic trucking cases to why the future of driverless semis is, in Jay's words, "absolutely terrifying."

This time on Bourbon of Proof, the guys are live from Louisville with trial lawyer, former AAJ President, and fellow bourbon fanatic Tad Thomas. Bob, Mauro and Tad dive into how AI is revolutionizing trial prep and exposing hidden evidence, but why technology will never replace a lawyer standing in front of a jury. Then, in classic BOP fashion, the conversation somehow veers into Matthew McConaughey's deodorant habits. Come for the bourbon, stay for the shenanigans.
