About this episode
(November 25, 2025 - Hour One) 9:14 - Rasheed Philips from Philips Barbeque Co. stops by to open things up tonight. Aside from being one of the most sought after live-fire cooks out there today, he also hosts a weekly BBQ podcast. Within that podcast, Rasheed is good for a a "Hot Take" or two. So tonight, Rasheed and I will trade "Hot Takes" to see who can come up with the most "Hottest" take of them all. 9:35pm - After Rasheed, our pal Steve Ray from Owl's Nest BBQ stops by for a whole other competition. A few months ago, a listener sent in his AI generated "Theme Song" for the show, which has gone over incredibly well. Well, not to be outdone, Steve did his own theme song for "Owl's Nest BBQ" and tonight we put it to the test. For your listening and evaluating pleasure, we will play both for you tonight and you will decide which one is the best theme song!
