IN THE HUDDLE MI

Harrison Michalowski drops by to co-host episode 59 on the Hangin' With Wang Podcast as we do a little bit of everything. 

1.) We list off all of our NFL division winners and why. 

With the NFL season right around the corner,  we tackle who we think will win each division and some dark horse teams to look out for. 

2.) NBA Finals reactions, and is Draymond Green of any value to the Warriors? 

3.) Harry reviews Top Gun before we delve into whether or not mustaches are, in fact, "in." 

Welcome to the 80's? 

Alex Szotko is a friend of the show, a loyal listener, and a drummer by trait. A west Michigan legend and cousin of Aj, he drops by the show to talk about his journey to where he is today, his move to Nashville to join the country music world, and the opportunity to open for Toby Keith at the Birthday Bash.

From high school drummer, to drumline director, to performing as a mascot at baseball games, to drumming for some of the biggest names in country music, Alex has been everywhere - and he's here to tell us all about it.

Intro song: Chevrolet You Down by Ryan Waters

Talking Points... 
- Opening at Birthday Bash with Brendan Monroe for Toby Keith on June 18. 
- Moving to Nashville and drumming for upcoming country artist, Ryan Waters. 
- The clash of cultures in Nashville, the music industry, and how he's navigating the madness. 
- Early life and what led him to where he is today. 
- How he handles failure and some stylistic points he has taken from artists he adored growing up.

- Rapid-fire questions from Aj about life, music, and dreams. 
AND SO MUCH MORE...

In Episode 56 of the Hangin' With Wang Podcast, Wang devours some of the best fast food the deep south offers.

Away on vacation in South Carolina, Wang drops by Cook Out and Bojangles to see if the bite matches the hype.

One bite, EVERYONE knows the rules.

Then we conclude the episode with a look back at Episode 51, "What Is Beef?" where we talk with Aj's new girlfriend and one of our favorite guests.

Bojangles Order: Bo's Chicken Sandwich medium combo (rated best sandwich at Bojangles by Mashed.com) with seasoned fries (placed #2 best side behind tater tots).

Cook Out Order: Chicken Tender platter with hush puppies, fries, and corn dog. 

Think Wang is right on his ratings? Or Maybe he's way off? Let us know. 

Enjoy, folks. 

After nearly getting jumped and fighting our way through angry crowds, Aj and Wang finally reunite in the studio that started it all. 

What's on tap... 
- Bullhorns, protestors, and Wang to save the day. 
- Father Sack and kids throwing heat. 
- Ben Joyce, and is he actually throwing 105.5 MPH? 

WHOOPS Part 2...  
- Wang, Aj, and the night we crashed without a clue. 
- The Uber driver that ignores stop signs. 
- 3 AM Drives with the heat on and the lullaby channel blaring. 

Then we conclude with some tantalizing ASMR courtesy of our sexy voices.

In this segment, Wang and Aj talk about what to expect in the national championship and Duke's destiny (cue the Hangin' With Wang curse)... how Will Smith has officially replaced Kanye West as the craziest celebrity... and some of the best (and worst) April fools jokes we have been apart of.
