(April 30, 2024 - Hour Two)

10:14pm - Leading off the 2nd hour is our new friend and sandwich making and rating expert, Barry Enderwick from "The Sandwiches of History" fame. Last time Barry was on, we talked about how he got into this whole sandwich making thing and how it has really caught on through his IG channel. Tonight we talk about some of his favorite sandos (and not so favorite sandos) since the last time we talked. Did you know that YOU can apply to be a "guest host" for one of Barry's sandwich videos...it's true! We will discuss that too incase you are a budding sando host as well.



10:35pm - Closing the show tonight is someone that, in my opinion, is changing the BBQ/Grilling game more than anyone else right now. Chris Young shows up to tell us all about the benefits of resting your steak...or not resting your steak! He conducted experiments to show EXACTLY what is really happening when you rest those steaks or when you don't rest those steaks. Is there a difference? What do you do? If you haven't seen the video yet, you will definitely want to go back and check it out on his YT channel...it's amazing!

9:14pm - John and John (J2) McLemore join me to lead off the show tonight as we talk about their new book "Gather & Grill". Currently available for preorder, John and J2 will talk about the recipes that make it into the book, what those recipes mean to them and, of course, we will talk about how this book came together. What is especially interesting to me is, during their time of ownership at Masterbuilt, there was plenty of opportunity to drop a "brand-based" book but it never happened. Tune in for what will be a great segment.

9:35pm - After The McLemore Boys, the creator of the World Food Championships, Mike McCloud, joins me to talk about two different topics. In no particular order, we will discuss the 2024 version of the Famous Dave's All-Star BBQ Challenge Series. We will also talk about the 2024 version of the World Food Championships and why they pulled up their steaks in Dallas and planted them in Indianapolis. Both are big topics and both need to be dug into a lot more! Catch it tonight and be the first to hear why Mike is doing the move!

10:14pm & 10:35pm - The April version of the Embedded Correspondents is ready to go, and tonight, we are adding a new person to the panel. Newly minted Tennessee Embedded Correspondent, Matt Osman, joins the crew tonight for a trial run. We have an incredible amount of "Assurity Questions" to run though...and while time won't be on our side...we have some other topics to dig into as well. Join us for the always fun and exciting EC segments and see who agrees with who and who doesn't!



All this, plus a brand new YouTube Poll Question of the week, results from last week's poll and much more.

9:14pm - If you are a charcoal fan and you are looking for a way to light your charcoal that doesn't include a chimney, my first guest tonight is the guest for you! Bob Healey, creator of the Grill Blazer, joins me to talk about the pair of "Grill Guns" he has created and is currently selling into the market. I have both of them and they work great...perhaps better than I even anticipated. We will learn all about creation of these guns, how they operate and why he put in a special safety feature that you NEED to know about.

9:35pm - After Bob, I will be joined by the President and Owner of Primo Grills, Nick Bauer. Nick and I will be revealing the newly released Primo "XXL" cooker. If you had an XL and you didn't think it was big enough, then this is the segment for you! The XXL, in indeed, bigger than any other oval that Primo offers. Why did they make it and what is their market intention for it. Perhaps most importantly, what the price tag is and how you can put in your pre-order to be one of the first to have it!

10:14pm - Leading off the 2nd hour tonight is quarterly guest and creator of the Hardcore Carnivore brand of products, Jess Pryles. Tonight we dive into the very controversial topic of "meat washing". Over the past few months, I have seen an onslaught of videos showing/encouraging the process of washing your beef, chicken and everything else with something as simple as a rinse under the sink to more elaborate processes of rubbing salts, limes (bleach) and other items to "clean" your proteins. Tonight we will talk about the science of washing your meat, if it's effective and if you are actually achieving your goal of making your proteins "cleaner'...you might be surprised!



10:35pm - The bullpen segment tonight is guested by Tennessee Embedded Correspondent, Matt Osman. Matt has been diligently tracking the latest happenings of both Memphis In May and Smoke Slam and we will dive into those topics tonight as we are just weeks away from both events taking place. What's the latest gossip, who's competing where and which event is going to come out looking the best when the weekend of competition is finally over? Matt will give us his take on all of it.
