Step right up, wrestling fans and Mercer County faithful — because Marion “The Handlebarred Haberdasher” Fontaine is in the building!

In this episode we twirl the mustache and pull back the curtain on wrestling. From the thrill of independent promotions to the pain of injuries, Fontaine takes us inside the ropes and beyond the spotlight — showing how wrestling is part sport, part theater, and pure curiosity.

We talk k-fabe, character building, crowd work, and the difference between a signature move and a finisher. And beyond competing, Marion has stepped outside the ring to own and produce Olde Wrestling, his throwback-style promotion that keeps the spirit of wrestling alive in a whole new way.

And then… it’s game time. 🎮 Our new game show Finisher or Foolery?! puts Bill and Marion to the test: can you spot the real moves from the ones we made up? Expect chaos, laughs, and maybe a Mercer County–style Gutbuster or two.

This episode takes you behind the scenes of a whirlwind few weeks for the TwoDads crew. We talk about running three county fairs in two weeks, the chaos of balancing money vs. leadership, and how the team is holding up after one of the busiest stretches yet.

We celebrate hitting 10,000 Spotify views, reflect on some of our favorite guest moments — from MLB pitcher Craig Stammen to Casa Rodriguez to local legends like Kerry Beamer — and talk about what’s next for the podcast, the food truck, and new ventures on the horizon.

There’s also plenty of local flavor: Little League collaborations with parish teams, the Pizza Hut vs. Captain D’s rivalry, and how we can make an impact! Plus, we dive into listener feedback, future goals, and why this winter might be the biggest season yet for TwoDads content.

Finally, we pay tribute to the late Gary Burbank — the Robin Williams of radio — by bringing back his iconic Sports or Consequences game, TwoDads-style. It’s trivia, chaos, and community storytelling all wrapped into one unforgettable episode.

Craig Stammen’s journey goes from small-town Ohio to 13 years in Major League Baseball, pitching nearly 900 innings and striking out over 700 hitters with the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres.

But beyond the stats, Craig shares the mental game behind surviving in MLB: the grind, fear of failure, daily preparation, and what it takes to reinvent yourself when the spotlight fades.

We also talk about life after baseball — including his role with the Padres’ front office, stepping into business ownership, and why giving back to the community matters now more than ever.

Whether you’re chasing a career, starting a family, or just trying to stay in the game of life, Craig’s lessons will inspire you to push through setbacks, stay disciplined, and find purpose beyond the job title.

In this episode, Stephen opens up about growing up in the Midwest, chasing passion without a safety net, documenting Omar Vizquel’s farewell season, touring with Third Eye Blind, life on the road with bands, and what it really means to survive — and thrive — as a modern artist.

The WoW Raffle isn’t just a fundraiser — it’s one of the most unique small-town events in America.

This week, we sit down with Ryan Steinbrunner — Fort Recovery High School principal, former professional DJ, and the Marketing & Entertainment lead for WoW — to talk about how this volunteer-run event pulls in massive crowds, huge jackpots, and headline entertainment every year.

From the history of the raffle, to the $280K+ pre-event 50/50 jackpot, to booking acts like Craig Morgan, to the unique games, Ryan takes us behind the scenes of what it takes to turn a community raffle into a can’t-miss festival.

Plus — we put Ryan to the test in Prize or Lies: Game Show Edition, where he has to guess which wild prizes were actually given away on real TV game shows.

Tom Burden went from tinkering in a small-town garage in Mercer County to landing a deal with Richard Branson on Shark Tank — but that was only the beginning.

In this episode, Tom opens up about the real weight of turning an idea into a business, and the psychological toll that can come with success. We dive into the mindset behind building Grypmat, what Shark Tank doesn't prepare you for, and how chasing achievement can sometimes be a mask for deeper needs.

This conversation goes way beyond business — it’s about identity, self-worth, and learning to live in the moment after the hustle. Whether you’re building a brand, a product, or just trying to figure out who you are… this one’s for you.

What do you get when you mix small-town grit, big-time personality, and a never-ending rotation of ridiculous costumes? You get Spank — and one of the most entertaining food brands in the Midwest.

In Episode 24, we sit down with Chris “Spank” Siefring — the force behind Gilbert’s Station in Burkettsville. He’s built both a brick-and-mortar restaurant and a food truck, while turning himself into a local legend through hilarious skits, wigs, and social media gold.

We talk about how he made it all work, the chaos of fair season, the fine line between burnout and branding, and how showing up as yourself can be the secret sauce to success — even when that self is wearing a cowboy hat and coaching third base.

Part 2 of the Caddy’s story is here — but this time, we’re flipping the perspective.

In this episode, we sit down with Lauren — the other half of the vision behind Caddy’s, and the creator of the wellness lifestyle brand, Hot & Healthyish. From building brands in her living room to driving 20 hours across the country for an unpaid internship, Lauren’s story is a full masterclass in what it really means to be a creator.

We talk about what it takes to build a personal brand, how to create with confidence (even when no one’s watching), and the difference between launching a business and launching a lifestyle. If you've ever felt the nudge to start sharing online, grow your small business, or create something that reflects you — this one’s your blueprint.

Whether you're a Midwest mom, a small-town dreamer, or a creator in the making, this is your sign to start.

This week on the TwoDads Podcast, we sit down with legendary Marion Local head coach and principal Tim Goodwin for a conversation that goes way beyond the sidelines.

Yes, we talk football—building a powerhouse, leading in a small town, and how the game has evolved over the years. But we also dig into fatherhood, pressure, identity, and what it means to lead without losing yourself.

From coaching his own son to navigating life as both principal and head coach, Tim opens up about the moments people don’t usually get to see.

This is one of the most personal conversations Coach Goodwin has ever done—filled with honesty, reflection, and more than a few surprises. Plus, we wrap things up with a round of Punt or Play, where we find out how he really feels about football movie classics.

Brandon Fuss-Cheatham played point guard at Ohio State — but after hoops, he helped launch some of the biggest influencer merch brands in the world.
