The guys hopped on a zoom call and chatted about their favorite pumpkin patches, John’s favorite sons (the Charlotte Hornets) and more.

This week we were joined by a very special co-host, Liz Bruno, and spent some time being replenished with Dr Jonathan Leake of Hydrate Medical. We covered Kanye West, extreme athletes, if Pedialyte is a hoax, and of course the poop in the lake.

We chatted with Tracie Ohonme of Samaritans Feet to learn more about her family’s story and their path to helping over 8 million people in the world. We also talked about some current events (new segment!), cheers and jeers, and more!

This week the boys caught up in person for the first time pre-Covid and sweet daddy Grace, were the takes flowing. The boys covered blimps, July 4th, casinos, post covid greeting protocol, and Dale Earnhardt wine.

This week the boys were joined by Betsy Mack of the Charlotte Hornets Foundation. They talked about the great work around the foundation, coffee preferences, and the curious case of the Quad City DJ origins. The boys also gave a big ol sweaty Jeers to “A Charlotte Summer’s Fatal Flaw”, humidity. 

PS sorry Miller’s audio was especially bad. He is working with a new computer.

This week we reconnected with the 5th Street Group to hear the latest performance of the Tip the Kitchen initiative (spoiler alert: it’s going great). The boys also handed out some Cheers and Jeers and weighed in on the latest City Council shenanigans.

We were joined again by Spencer Lueders for an update on 24 Hours of Booty and how they have adjusted over the past year and their plans for the upcoming event. John continued to talk about NFTs and why he hates LoSo.

This week we sat down with Patrick Whalen and Chef Jamie Lynch to learn more about the start of their restaurant group, how they were affected by a global pandemic and the measures they are taking to better support their staff. We also learned about Miller’s dating strategy, John growled like a Panther and we tried out our first ever cold open. 

We’re not going to lie, this is a great episode.
