This week on Double Bitter, Ryan and Kim sit down with Darren Hudson. Darren isn't just any guest—he's the owner of Timber Lounge Axe Throwing (Dartmouth & Moncton), the founder of Wild Axe Productions, and the visionary behind the Wild Axe Championships TV series on TSN.

But beyond that, he's a 7-time world champion log roller, a Nova Scotia legend, and someone whose family heritage is deeply rooted in the forestry and lumberjack tradition. In this episode, we go everywhere—from epic global adventures to log rolling on the set of Cheaper by the Dozen, whiskey tasting, and stories from Darren's unbelievable life.
