Episode 249

Talking you back to 1/21/21 – In keeping with the Guest Hall of Fame theme from last week…Jon is putting together a 5 week run of the newest members of the Hall…and this Friday we start with “The Legend” Mike Mills of 17th Street and Apple City BBQ fame. This particular show is from when I did the “in memoriam” for Mike and THAT sound was pulled from the live on-site shows I did at the NBBQA event back in 2018. Again, as I mentioned last week…one of my favorite all time interviews I have ever done on this show, not only because Mike was so great…but because it was the first time I took the show on the road and did 3 days…3 hours per day…worth of live shows and Mike was one of the folks gracious enough to give me the time to do such a great interview…I hope you enjoy it…be sure to go find the entire interview to really get a sense of Mike and how he came up in this biz!! Thank you to Jon for quickly putting these shows in the can and the next 5 weeks will be great.

Episode 247

Talking you back to 9/6/16 – Joining me back then is BBQ Hall of Fame’er and BBQ Central Show Guest HOF’er, John Markus. I don’t usually say this so openly…but during this particular portion of the interview, we talked EXTENSIVELY about Port-A-Potties. Yes, Port-A Potties! In fact, I recount a story from a year or so prior to this interview where 3 guys were out in the wilderness and happened upon a Port-A-Pottie…one of the guys went in to use the facility…and the other 2 guys decided it would be some dynamite wilderness fun to flip the toilet over…so they did it…and in doing so, helped their pal in the potty BREAK HIS NECK! So, like people do these days, the guy who’s now a fresh paraplegic, sewed the toilet company and won millions because the potty wasn’t properly secured to the ground…WOW!!
