Description

Southern Gentlemen is a podcast hosted by Chris Thomas and Winston Cruze. We're just two good ol' boys from the American South, making our way the only way we know how. In each episode of Southern Gentlemen, we chat about things we find interesting. From being better husbands and dads, to hunting, gear, cocktails, and more, we always come at it from a Southern perspective, and we always have a lot of fun. We're grateful y'all are here!

Listener Questions!
2026/10/09
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! This week, the guys have plenty to catch up on. Chris recaps his visit to the legendary Sweetens Cove Golf Club, while Winston shares about a weekend in Knoxville taking the family to the Tennessee-Auburn game. Chris also gives a quick update on the ongoing saga of his 1999 Lexus LX470 - which, as it turns out, is providing plenty of content for the podcast whether he likes it or not. Then they open up the mailbag and work through a pile of listener emails. There are plenty of ideas for the upcoming 100th episode, some helpful advice for Chris and his car troubles, recommendations for a listener planning a trip to Franklin, Tennessee, and a great question from someone considering the leap into entrepreneurship. Golf, college football, old cars, Franklin favorites, business advice, and a whole lot of listener participation. Just another week with the Southern Gentlemen.

Too Much Tech
2026/10/01
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! The Southern Gentlemen are closing in on a milestone - Episode 100! Chris and Winston kick things off by asking listeners for ideas on how they should celebrate the big one. Special guest? Favorite moments? Something completely ridiculous? They're open to suggestions. Then it's time to recap a wild weekend of college football, including Texas' 20–17 win over Tennessee at Neyland Stadium with President Trump in attendance - and Texas star Colin Simmons' memorable five-sack performance that was unfortunately accompanied by one of the tackiest sack celebrations the guys have ever seen. Chris also gives an update on his ongoing adventure with his newly purchased 1999 Lexus LX470, which continues to reveal new and exciting ways for him to spend money. Meanwhile, his wife's car is in the shop, leaving Chris behind the wheel of a loaner vehicle with approximately 47,000 technological features he neither understands nor wants. And somewhere along the way, the guys tell a slightly risqué joke they debated whether they should tell on the podcast. They probably shouldn't have. They did anyway.

Tips for Used Car Shopping
2026/09/24
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! This week, the guys kick things off with a fun listener email from a self-proclaimed "dad girl" in Detroit before catching up on a big weekend in sports. They recap Ole Miss vs. LSU and Lane Kiffin's much-anticipated return to Oxford, then head to Bristol for all the drama from the Night Race - including the dust-up between Carson Hocevar and Ryan Blaney. Then Chris takes Winston along for his latest adventure: buying a used car. After deciding he wanted something reliable from the Toyota/Lexus family, Chris explains how he's been using AI - along with the help of a trusted, car-savvy friend - to research vehicles, decode VINs, inspect undercarriages, listen to questionable engine noises, and hopefully avoid buying somebody else's problem. Listener emails, SEC football, NASCAR drama, artificial intelligence, and used Toyotas. Just another week on Southern Gentlemen. Have a question you'd like us to answer on the show?

Raising Strong Daughters
2026/09/18
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! Watch this episode on YouTube! This week, Chris and Winston kick things off with a couple of listener emails and a hilarious new review - including one listener's suggestion for a potential "steak" alternative that Winston might actually be able to eat with his Alpha-gal allergy. Then the conversation turns a little more serious as Winston shares about an issue his daughter is navigating in middle school. The guys talk through how to help our kids handle difficult situations without trying to fix everything for them, when a dad should step in, and when it might be better to let them work through it themselves. Along the way, they wrestle with some of the differences they've experienced raising boys versus girls, and the challenge of knowing exactly what our kids need from us in each season. It's a conversation about parenting in the real world - trying to protect our kids, prepare them, and somehow learn when to hold on and when to let go.

Trapped in Dallas!
2026/09/11
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! Watch this episode on YouTube! Chris is back from another adventure in the mountains - this time in beautiful McCall, Idaho. He shares some highlights from his time out West, what made the trip memorable, and why there's just something good for the soul about getting away to the mountains. But getting home? That's a different story. What should've been a fairly routine trip back to Tennessee turned into a travel nightmare involving delay after delay after delay. Chris walks Winston through the entire saga, including the increasingly ridiculous number of flight delays, the frustration of being at the mercy of the airlines, and the moment when you start wondering if you're ever actually going to make it home. It's mountains, travel chaos, a few good stories, and plenty of laughs along the way. Have a question you'd like us to answer on the show? Maybe a topic you want us to discuss?

Finding God in the Wilderness
2026/09/03
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! Watch this episode on YouTube! Chris is back from the mountains of Northern California, and he's got some stories to tell. This week, he recaps his trip to JH Ranch for Men's Week - several days with no cell phone, plenty of time in the wilderness, and a group of men who share a desire to know God more deeply. Chris tells Winston about the experience of cutting down a tree the old-fashioned way (no chainsaw allowed), a grueling hike into the mountains that led to 24 hours completely alone in the wilderness, and the powerful, emotional encounter he had with God the Creator while he was there. Of course, it wasn't all serious. There were plenty of funny moments along the way, too. The guys wrap up the episode by sharing a timely email from a listener about one of the hardest things we're called to do as parents: surrendering our children to God, trusting that He loves them even more than we do.

Dolly
2026/08/27
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! This week, Chris and Winston take some time to remember and celebrate the life of Dolly Parton - a true Tennessee treasure whose impact reached far beyond country music. The guys share some great Dolly stories, reflect on her unmistakable wit and generosity, and talk about the remarkable way she remained deeply connected to her East Tennessee roots throughout her life. They also reflect on Dolly's faith, her love for God, and the way she so often used her success to serve and encourage others. From the songs and stories to Dollywood and the Imagination Library, her legacy is one of talent, kindness, humor, generosity, and a genuine love for people. It's a Southern Gentlemen tribute to one of the most beloved Southerners of all time - a woman who never seemed to forget where she came from, and made the world a little brighter because of it.

Finally, Chris admits he's apparently the last person on Earth to discover Theo of Golden.

World Cup Fever!
2026/07/02
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! Watch this episode on YouTube! Before the World Cup fever completely takes over America, Chris has a confession to make: he just watched his first full soccer match... and he has questions. Lots of questions. In this episode, the guys dive into the World Cup phenomenon that's sweeping the country before Chris unveils his completely unscientific, highly opinionated, and (hopefully) lighthearted list of the Top 7 Dumbest Things About Soccer. From stoppage time and flopping to offside rules and everything in between, Winston weighs in with his own hot takes while attempting to explain why the rest of the world is obsessed with "the beautiful game." Soccer fans, don't worry - we're just having a little fun. Besides, every sport has its quirks... soccer just happens to have a few more. Grab a cold drink, settle in, and let us know: did Chris get any of these right, or is he completely offside? Have a question you'd like us to answer on the show?

What You Should Know About Family Camp
2026/06/25
Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! After a few weeks away, the boys are finally back behind the microphones and catching up on life. Chris and Winston kick things off by answering a listener question about the memorable experience of asking their future fathers-in-law for their blessing to marry their daughters. Then it's gift exchange time, as the guys surprise each other with a few thoughtful - and possibly questionable - presents. Chris also brings a fresh batch of dad jokes to the table, proving once again that fatherhood is less about wisdom and more about perfectly-timed groaners. Finally, the guys recap their recent family camp adventures. Winston shares stories from his time at Young Life's Trail West in Colorado, while Chris reflects on another memorable week with his family at Pine Cove Chimney Point in South Carolina. From mountain views to pork chops, counselor shenanigans to family memories, it's a conversation about the value of unplugging, spending intentional time together, and making memories that last.
