Welcome to Episode 172 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, where one of the most-engaging people in BBQ returns to the show to share knowledge and stories about food sport. That’s Sunny Moody of Moodswing BBQ, a world steak champion who emerged from this spring’s Food Network show BBQ Brawl as one of the final four contenders - and one of the most-popular contestants.

We already knew Sunny was all of those things. She reinforces that, plus more, on this week’s appearance as she recounts the BBQ Brawl experience, what it was like smoking chicken livers on the show and how more television could be in her future. Sunny also gives us some great information on how to best grill a perfect Tomahawk Ribeye.

It’s also time for “Fergie Time” and on the July segment, Richard Fergola from Fergolicious BBQ discusses his busy schedule which included four KCBS contests and an appearance at the Scheels Outdoors BBQ University in a recent eight-day period. Fergie rolls on with more classes and competitions coming up with little down time. That’s how he likes it.

Meanwhile, Lyndal Scranton rolls solo in the host’s cockpit this week and gets to humble brag about the Tailgate Guys BBQ competition team’s KCBS championship ribs from the weekend at Smokin’ on the Osage in Osceola, Missouri. Yep, first place. The head coach was pleased and maybe surprised. And the team chicken continues to kill it with two more top-five calls.
