For this episode the DTRR guys travel to Ireland, Indiana! Fitting it is St. Patrick's weekend 🍺 The beer and bourbon was flowing! We are at a friends house there, Zerrick Wells. He actually had a hand in how this was started. He provided the name (Dirt Tracks & Rib Racks) for a group text years ago. When it was decided we were going to take off and run with the podcast idea. He let us know he just didn't know if he could commit to the time for it. He has supported us and what we have done with the podcast since day #1 and we appreciate that. And thanks to him for letting us come to his house and cooking our meal on podcast Sunday! This may be a yearly tradition! 🍀
