Johnny Smith is a speed coach and trainer by trade, but if you ask him--he's an all-out fighter. We asked him about his training process and if he could take Conor or Khabib in a fight. This is an episode you're going to want to watch-we're HUGE fight guys now. Everyone knows it.

When you think of Southern Miss Athletics, you think "Big Jon" Smith. A larger-than-life personality with a larger-than-life passion for his alma mater, Jon is the PERFECT hype man for the upcoming Golden Eagle Football season.   We got to talk football, family, Yeungling beer, and South Carolina Women's Soccer--this is an episode jam-packed with sports and enthusiasm. If you ask us, that's the most accurate representation of who Jon Smith is. Eags by 90! If you live here, put out your black and gold, because attitude is contagious...

Cary Hudson IS indeed a legend. He has been making music in this beautiful state and abroad for decades now, and he has no reason to slow down! We got to sit down and find out how he got his start, what stories he likes to tell, and how he maintains a profession in music.  Thank you to Abigail Lenz Allen for allowing us to use her space in the Hattiesburg Community Art Center (HCAC) to record Cary's performance in from of a LIVE audience! The AC was crisp and the backdrop was beautiful. It's Hattiesburg Sesame Street and EVERYONE KNOWS IT!  P.S. if you want to be at the Piney Woods Picnic this year, there isn't a link--you just gotta know somebody...

Leigh Ann Underwood is a fixture of Downtown Hattiesburg; a woman who truly has her finger on the pulse of all the happenings of this town. Since she is Director of Business Development at Southern Bone & Joint, being involved in the community just comes with the job.  We got to sit down with her and learned how she has been so consistent and successful since moving here from Memphis, Tennessee. Long story short: be better to people.

Dr. Joe Paul started his Southern Miss journey in the 1970s. He has held many positions, most notably as VP of Student Affairs for 21 years. Now he is president of the university he holds so dear. The job is perfect for Dr. Paul: the only man able to garner unanimous support from the community.  We have an opportunity - one that comes around only so often - to foster a regrowth of USM AND the city. It's time to get our swagger back. Dr. Joe Paul already has his "Presidential Swagger" in full gear. It's time we meet him at the top!

Vixon Sullivan is a lot of things: artist, sculptor, personality, poet, visionary...but most of all--he's human.  We got to sit down with the visual artist and bright soul that is changing how countless people in the Pine Belt and beyond see art. He 's even been featured on HGTV's Hometown--this podcast should even the score and make sure he's referred to as a HATTIESBURG artist...   Seriously though, Vixon dropped some real knowledge on us and quite honestly has us motivated to work on our own art. We hope you get as much out of this as we did!

We got to sit down and talk with Leanne Morgan for our BIGGEST episode YET! What great time we had getting to talk about her 100-city "Big Panty Tour!" She was kind enough to take time out of her vacation to answer some of our questions and we can confirm--she really is that nice even when the cameras aren't rolling. Needless to say (again), but we're over the moon and hope you enjoy this episode half as much as we did!  

If you're in Hattiesburg July 29th (2022), be sure to come down to the Saenger Theatre and check our the pre-show party from 5-7pm. Massive J will be DJing, we'll have musical guests, and Drew will be asking Jones Company officials detailed questions about logisitics... Oh, and it's free--no tick required for the pre-show party!
