About this listen
What do rare bourbon “ghost drops,” measured pours, and midnight shifts have in common?
Sleep.
In this episode Elliott and Billy start with a Ghost drop bourbon rush and end up in a serious conversation about one of the most overlooked topics in public safety: rest.
Is restorative rest a weakness?
Or is it long overdue?
This conversation hits on something bigger: if we’re still pretending sleep doesn’t matter in 2026, why are we surprised recruitment and retention are suffering?
No script. No posturing. Just real talk about bourbon, burnout, and the biological truth we’ve ignored for too long.
If your department is doing something innovative around sleep and midnight shifts — we want to hear about it.
