We continue wrestling with Podcaster Month- this week with Ron and Dan of The Singlet Club. It goes out of the ring early and stays that way. Always fun with these dudes. Even if they are Yankees.

One of Memphis' best-kept secrets, Chef Steph Cook, sizzled in our interview at his Rawk n Grub (where we tasted a specially-made burger). But this chef’s story is one of mistakes and redemption as he has become the mad scientist of burgers and proves good food can come- straight outta gas station.

Who knew wrestling was like the female orgasm, apparently our guest as we continue Podcaster Month, Ibrahim Chavez. Ibrahim is the co-host Of Watch This w/ Rick Ramos where they are continuing their series on the History of Television and he discussed the theatrical qualities of professional wrestling with The Chumps.

We kick-off our first Podcaster Month with fellow southerner, Allison Carter, Host of The Not Your Little Lady Podcast. Allison talks with us about her show’s evolution, the Me Too Movement and, to lighten the mood, Bob’s Burgers. She’s Not Your Little Lady but she’s definitely an amazing lady!

Think it’s impossible for someone to be a badass with a stand-up bass, have serious songwriting skills and one of most unique voices in music? Think again. The supremely talented Amy LaVere is all this and an occasional actress, having worked in films from Craig Brewer (Black Snake Moan) and Muck Sticky (Dig That, Zeebo Newton). She dropped by before a tour of the southwest to dish about her career and love of her adopted hometown of Memphis. r

We just got our class schedule and lucky for two fat guys we have the same teacher for all 3! Andrew Och (like a tree, duh) started off teaching us history on the First Ladies (firstladiesman.com). Luckily he’s a foodie so we got lunch as a class next before heading into Punk 101 where we were regaled with his tales of hanging with Henry Rollins, David Lee Roth and Dave Grohl. We can’t wait to go back for another day!

Memphis underground rap legend Al Kapone sheds light on his origins in music, his influence on the rap genre, and his work on independent films with Craig Brewer. Plus he gives us some street cred.

Christmas year-round, tireless charity work and still time to be songwriters? Krys Midgett and Olivia West join the Chumps to talk about these things and more. Turn up the volume and enjoy.

We discuss the double standard by abc and whoopee Goldberg's comments to Judge Janine, SummerSlam's main event of Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns, the reboot of she-ra and the Oscars.

Giant Wings on Stage and stilts, only one artist can make that work and that is the talented singer songwriter and Memphis favorite Harlan T Bobo.

Actress? Check. Producer? Check. Paranormal Investigator? Check. All this and more in one guest? Triple Check. Fresh off her role in The @mucksticky movie, Dig That Zeebo Newton, @wendy_pettie got down with the round (that’s us) to discuss her encounters with the paranormal, horror films and her own career as a #jillofalltrades on sets. We can Dig That! And if you can’t, you won’t hear about the lizard people. #Memphis #Colorado #hollybaby
