(October 31, 2023 - Hour One)

9:14pm - Few people have "quit" the show. Fewer people have "quit" the show with no reason whatsoever. He gave me as close to a "ghosting" (pun intended) as you can get without a full on shine. If you are a fan of the show then you know who I am talking about. He was an original Embedded Correspondent hailing from Tennessee. He owns a vehicle repair facility and also a BBQ supply store. He has generated some of the best content the show has ever put out and he is also a pitmaster and host of his own content on the internet. Believe it or not, "persona non grata" Steve Ray, joins the show for the first time in years! I will ask him the hardest questions he has ever experienced in an interview setting. It might get VERY uncomfortable for him...and me...but I will do what needs to be done!

9:35pm - After all the important stuff, Steve and I will spend some time talking about the growth and existence of his BBQ supply store and how he was able to navigate the COVID experience and if how that space of time has refined his vision for the store moving forward. All kidding aside, I am looking forward to having Steve on the show again!
