Spitballing

Wow!  Twenty episodes in the can and they're still jabbering away.  This week Matt and Kyle talk about how the shows been going so far.  They get into some stories from the past and they, as usual, have lots of laughs.

Music this week is a cover of Toto's Africa by the very talented Evergreen Grass Band. 

This week the boys sit down again with their old friend Dr. Sam Gibbons. Sam is not an actual doctor, but he is so much smarter than Matt and Kyle, he sure seems like one.

This week Matt and Kyle talk with Jenna Brower Von Siebolds. Jenna is the executive chief at Prairie Bay, one of the areas finest restaurants. They talk about how Jenna got started in Matt's restaurant, the Sunshine Kitchen & Moonshine Lounge with no experience cooking, then took the world by storm. Jenna is also a board member at the local area food hub, Sprout MN and they discuss some of the cool shit that place has brewing. Of course, there are some movies, pop culture references and nerd shit mixed in.  

This week Matt and Kyle shoot the shit with His Royal Highness, Brainerd's North East Ward Alderman, Dave Badeaux.  They discuss many of the issues facing the fair city of Brainerd including the gross stupidity of Brainerd's School Board President and why the citizens of Brainerd shouldn't let Kyle and Matt lay siege to the Historic Brainerd Water Tower with trebuchets.  Dave destroys his future political aspirations when he makes the claim that Jesus had carnal knowledge of some aquatic species #jesusfishfucker and Matt unveils his grand plan to get a corporate sponsor wrap the Historic Brainerd Water Tower in a giant condom #safethetower. 

This week the boys have a conversation with their old friend and renaissance man, Gavin Rydell.  Gavin has his fingers in a wide array of businesses including the vape industry and CBD extraction.  They get into how insane it is that many politicians are focusing on banning flavored e-juice while ignoring the facts of this important harm reduction tool.

This week Kyle and Matt get into it with Marc Hummel, AKA the Lumberjack.  Marc is an interesting cat with his hands in many pots.  He's been an MMA fighter on the local scene for years, but his real passion is bringing festival style bands to the BLA with his production company Cram Chronicles Entertainment.  Marc is currently working on promoting Cram Jam III, a two day festival coming up on September 27th and 28th at the beautiful Paradise Shores Resort.

The conversation takes a turn toward the personal when Matt reads an old Facebook post after attending one of Marc's earlier promotions.

This week the boys have an interesting conversation with restaurateur Craig Venske.  They talk about how Craig got his eclectic little joint, the Chameleon Cafe, up and running.  Then they dive right into geekdom.  Craig challenges Kyle's strongly held belief that Heugh Jackman, as Wolverine, was the worst casting decision of all time... Oh yeah, shit gets real!

Matt and Kyle sit down with Drew Peterson, one of Minnesota's most prolific singer/songwriters.  Drew has been a professional musician for the last 16 years, heading the bands Forty Watt Bulb and The Dead Pigeons as well as touring extensively as a solo acoustic artist and with a mess of other talented individual musicians.  They boys run the gambit of topics today, from westerns to school shootings, to euthanasia to song writing.  Drew plays a few tunes and a great time is had by all.

This week on Spitballing episode # 11 - Christine and Meta TAKEOVER Spitballing!

The ladies behind the bald and beautiful boys shed a little light into the lives of Kyle and Matt, the REAL stories, how they became instant besties, their version of the Farm to Fork experience, how messages can/will be taken out of context almost every damn time, what a Trebuchets is, because it may just end up being super important! 
Slick ways to bump into your crush, how our magical love stories began, the secret studio and a little afternoon delight without the fight. We are looking forward to next's weeks guest, Drew Peterson, the musically inclined, song writing master and just maybe we find out that Matt really IS the nice guy in his romantic relationship.

Matt and Kyle discuss their fun filled Friday night at the Farm to Fork dinner at the Farm on St. Mathias and their shenanigans at the Woods watching Angie Stevens.  Then they sit down with Troy Schreifels of the Brainerd Police Department and the Liaison Officer for the Brainerd High School.  They discuss a range of topics including the de-escalation of force, police brutality, and Troy's awesome kids.
