NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Four Walls, the Irish American whiskey brand founded by Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, and Charlie Day, is headed for bars everywhere and is now available to order online at FourWallsWhiskey.com.
Four Walls is a tribute to the four walls the gang calls home, the bar, and was initially sold as a limited edition release, raising money for the bartending community. “We wanted to create a brand celebrating the four walls that have held our good times in and kept our troubles out,” is how Glenn Howerton describes the gang’s initial inspiration.
Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton and Rob McElhenney’s Four Walls Whiskey is coming to a bar near you. Shop now at FourWallsWhiskey.com
Following the success of the limited drop, Glenn, Rob, and Charlie began exploring ways to make a new version of Irish American whiskey, distilled as much for Saturday night as Tuesday afternoon. The unique style of whiskey they envisioned would become a go-to in the type of rooms they cherish, where friends could raise a glass together and not be concerned about whatever is happening outside of that moment.
“After our higher-end releases, it was important for us to make a whiskey priced that all of our fans could try and that bartenders would want to use in everyday drinks,” adds Charlie Day. The 80-proof Irish American Whiskey blend is smooth enough for shots and is blended with an award-winning American Rye to hold up in cocktails – a true utility whiskey.
Watch ‘Origin Story’ to see how the gang came up with Four Walls on YouTube.
“The three of us have come up with some of our best ideas and had some of our most memorable nights out together in unassuming rooms where great bartenders made us feel like a million bucks when we probably didn’t have a hundred between us,” said Rob McElhenney, “That is the power of a great bar – when your favorite people are there, your favorite bartender is working, and a great song is playing. Nothing can beat that good time, and that’s what Four Walls is all about.”
As part of Howerton, McElhenney, and Day’s upcoming live podcast tour, Philadelphia was able to have a first taste of Four Walls at the gang’s recent performance at The Mann Center. The tour hits New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on October 12th and 13th, where Four Walls will also be poured.
Just as the limited release donated proceeds to the bartending community, fans can shop the new Four Walls merchandise shop, where 100% of the proceeds of select items will benefit Tales of the Cocktail Foundation®, a non-profit that works to Educate, Advance, and Support the global cocktail community.
About Rob, Charlie & Glenn Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Glenn Howerton have always had a knack for crafting fine things together. Like a fine whiskey, their collective work has only gotten richer and intensified its distinct flavor through the years. As writers, producers, and actors, they’ve collaborated on a number of projects, and as friends, they’ve collaborated on a number of great nights out. Four Walls Irish American Whiskey is their way of sharing some of those good times.

Radar offers a cost-effective, developer-friendly alternative to GeoComply.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Radar, recognized as the industry leader in geofencing, proudly unveils its fraud detection and geo-compliance solution.
Radar already powers geolocation for leading brands like DICK’s Sporting Goods, T-Mobile, Panera, and Zillow, processing over 100 billion API calls per year from over 100 million devices.
Radar now detects location spoofing, including GPS spoofing, proxy and VPN usage, device tampering, screen sharing, and more. Radar’s powerful dashboard provides reporting, troubleshooting, and back office capabilities.
Radar’s industry-leading Geofencing Platform has long supported highly accurate and reliable geofencing, country and state detection, place visit detection, and Bluetooth beacon detection.
With this release, Radar now offers a cost-effective and developer-friendly geolocation solution for the gaming industry, and a much-needed alternative to GeoComply.
The Need for Geo-Compliance Alternatives
Online gambling is exploding in the United States, with fierce competition from market leaders like FanDuel, DraftKings, and others. Competitive markets are good for consumers and stimulate innovation. However, nearly all online gambling operators rely on a single geolocation vendor: GeoComply.
Nick Patrick, Radar co-founder and CEO, said, “From dozens of conversations with tier 1 operators, vendors, compliance experts, and regulators over the past year, one thing is clear: The market needs viable alternative geolocation solutions. Radar, the geofencing industry leader, is here to meet that need.”
Fraud Detection Capabilities
Radar’s Geofencing Platform has long supported highly accurate and reliable geofencing, country and state detection, Bluetooth beacon detection, and place visit detection. With its new fraud detection capabilities, Radar can also detect location spoofing, VPN and proxy usage, device tampering, screen sharing, and more.
These capabilities are supported across iOS, Android, web, and desktop. Radar’s SDKs are developer-friendly and can be integrated with just a few lines of code. Radar’s SDKs have also passed an audit by Gaming Labs International (GLI).
Radar’s dashboard provides comprehensive back office capabilities, including tools for reporting, alerting, and debugging.
Beyond geo-compliance use cases, Radar’s Geofencing Platform and Maps Platform can power other use cases like location-based messaging, on-premise app experiences, address validation, and more.
Ken Wang, co-founder of leading fantasy sports app Sleeper, said, “We’re really happy we chose Radar as our geofencing provider at Sleeper. The integration with the rest of our tech stack was a breeze, well-documented and easy to follow.”
Geo-Compliance Solution
Radar’s solution is significantly more cost-effective than alternatives, with pricing based on monthly tracked users instead of location pings.
Radar is licensed as a gaming vendor in Colorado, Arizona, and West Virginia. The company plans to be licensed in all remaining US states in 2024 and is accelerating its licensing timeline given the immense demand from operators.
Radar is already working with customers like Sleeper, Everi, and 1/ST, and plans to launch with its first sportsbook customers in the coming months.
Visit Radar at G2E
Radar will be at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas this year. Attendees can visit Radar at booth #5427 or attend a talk from Nick Patrick, Radar co-founder and CEO, on October 10.

LOS ANGELES, 3 de outubro de 2023 /PRNewswire/– O filme “PARAÍSO” do Prasanna Vithanage é um empreendimento inovador, marcando a primeira colaboração entre Madras Talkies de Mani Ratnam e a indústria cinematográfica malaiala.
NEWTON CINEMA, in partnership with Mani Ratnam’s MADRAS TALKIES, presents the World Premiere of ‘PARADISE’, Kim Jiseok Award Nominee.
“PARAÍSO” retrata o cenário do Sri Lanka em 2022 durante sua crise financeira, em que o aumento da inflação leva à escassez de alimentos, medicamentos e combustível, resultando em blecautes e agitação pública. Esta narrativa leva os espectadores a uma montanha russa de amor, engano e crime. Com base nesse cenário, PARAÍSO conta a história de um produtor de TV e sua esposa, uma vlogger, que chegam à região montanhosa do Sri Lanka para comemorar seu quinto aniversário de casamento. No entanto, quando as coisas dão uma reviravolta inesperada, os conflitos se aprofundam, revelando fissuras em seu relacionamento.
O Diretor Vithanage comenta: “Diante da crise, a verdadeira natureza de um indivíduo surge. Meu objetivo é explorar as realidades da vida, seus efeitos sobre os relacionamentos e destacar as disparidades em raça, status, justiça e gênero. Por meio das lutas dos personagens com conflitos sociais e pessoais, uma verdade mais profunda sobre a natureza humana é revelada”.
“O ‘PARAÍSO’ é uma experiência cinematográfica acelerada e emocionante que irá entreter e surpreender”, entusiasmou-se Anto Chittilappilly, Produtor do Cinema Newton e CEO.
O produtor de Madras Talkies Siva Ananth comenta: “O ‘PARAÍSO’ está cheio de percepções sutis e florescimento cinematográfico sutil de um diretor cinematográfico. Ele é repleto de apresentações notáveis de um elenco e equipe de primeira linha. Estamos muito satisfeitos em apresentar este filme sob nossa bandeira”.
O filme é estrelado por Roshan Mathew, Darshana Rajendran, Shyam Fernando e Mahendra Perera, com Rajeev Ravi como cinematógrafo, Sreekar Prasad como editor, Tapas Nayak como designer de som e “K” como diretor de música.
Roshan Mathew compartilhou “o Diretor Vithanage, propôs ‘Vamos mergulhar juntos na psique humana’. Esta exploração é o que ele promoveu durante toda a filmagem. Acredito que meu personagem, Kesav, incorpora elementos da natureza humana que residem em todos”.
Darshana Rajendran, que retratou Amritha, disse: “Eu reconheci minha personagem como cativantemente complexa. Suas fortes convicções muitas vezes permanecem não ditas, revelando-se mais em momentos solitários do que em sua comunicação verbal. Aceitei isso como uma oportunidade única de liderar o público durante a profunda transformação da Amritha”.
A Estreia Mundial de ‘PARAÍSO’ está marcada para 7 de outubro de 2023 no Busan International Film Festival na Coreia do Sul.
