**BONUS CONTENT: The Hotly Anticipated Horse Milk Taste Test & Review! Jul 31, 2021

Show notes

A few week back at the top of the 2nd hour I did a story on a place called Combe Hay Farms (It appears the DO NOT ship to the USA). They produce horse milk to drink and made claims that it can help cure a few common skin conditions. I have no proof of that myself, but you can read about it on their website and draw you own conclusions from there. This past Friday, July 30, 2021, I was a guest on the BBQ Talks Show which is UK based. One of the hosts, Ryan, heard my story and bought 2 bottles of this horse milk. Hals way through my guest appearance, Ryan let me take over the show and do a BBQCS Bonus Content portion and turn him around as the guest to review the horse milk...did he like it? Did his wife like it? did his son Charlie like it?? Take a listen and find out if you are missing out on something especial!

The Best Moments of The BBQ Central Show in 10 Minutes or Less Jul 30, 2021

Show notes

Episode 187 July 12, 2011 - One of the most successful competition cooks in KCBS, Mike Davis from Lotta Bull BBQ was the guest back then. We talked about a recent win at a competition he was at and we talked a bit about when the team decides to make changes to their cooking program as meats start to not score as well. If you are a competition cook I think this information will still hold true even 10+ years removed from the original conversation. Mike Davis is always a great guest and when it comes to the American Royal, few have won the open and invitational as many times as Lotta Bull has...do a little research and see where they stack up...it’s pretty impressive! I think you’ll enjoy this “best moments” whether you compete or not! Fun fact...this is how the live show sounded when it was only 3 years old. Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Episode 185 July 19, 2016 - While this time in life might not ring a bell, you might be familiar with the game “Pokemon”. Back in the summer of 2016, the newest version of Pokemon came out...and people were using their phones in order to play it...people were jumping out in the streets and getting hit by cars because they weren’t paying attention to what they were actually doing...While I was concerned about that...I was also concerned with another issue that the compulsion to play this game might cause...but I won’t get into that here...you can catch the feed on Friday and listen to what I was thinking back then.
