(December 2, 2025 - Hour One)

9:14 - Last week it was Rasheed Philips and this week it's Al Frugoni! The king of open-live fire cooking joins me to talk about the Meat Up in Hondo, TX but, more importantly, we will discuss how the Open Fire Memphis In May deal came together for the 2026 version of this event. You might be surprised how this all came together...and who dumped on the idea to begin with!

9:35pm - After Al, Mike Lang from Another Pint Please, joins me for the last time in 2025. We will talk about cold weather cooking, how to set up your fires properly, how to account for time in cooking when the weather sucks and what gifts he's recommending for the holiday season.
