Love this show great insight and information
I really enjoy this podcast. I really wish you would record your shows at a louder volume. Every time I play your show I have to turn up my device (or car radio) up to 75-80% of volume just to hear you. Then after your show is over my next podcast starts blasting. So I know it is not my equipment it is how your show is being recorded.
Loved him in bbq showdown, he was one of my favorites, humble and all, not so much on the podcast. He came off as so full of himself, I’m DaKing, I’m not gonna support him at all
I literally just discovered this podcast less than two weeks ago and I’m burning through the episodes from numero uno. It’s super informative, funny and just a great listen if your life is smoke or if you’re just a backyard griller. Subscribe!!!
