Episode 6: Randy Pauly
<p>Episode 6 is live, and this one was a blast.</p><p>I sat down with my buddy Randy Pauly, the head pitmaster for Buc-ee's. If you've ever been to a Buc-ee's, you know the barbecue is no joke... every location is cranking out hundreds of whole briskets every single day. Randy was in Arizona helping open the state's first Buc-ee's, so we took the opportunity to sit down and talk.</p><p>And honestly, this isn't the Randy most people get to hear from.</p><p>We talk about growing up, his first barbecue competition, the lessons he's learned along the way, and why humility still matters no matter how successful you become. He even shares the wild story of how he ended up helping save the life of a famous singer. More than anything, it's a conversation about being adaptable, staying grounded, and making the most of whatever opportunity is in front of you.</p><p>Then, after all that wisdom, I sat down with Ty for the intro and outro... and let's just say we immediately ignored everything we learned. The conversation went so far off the rails I'm pretty sure I might be looking for a new co-host by Episode 7.</p><p>Check out Episode 6 of Not The Best Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.</p>

Episode 5: Dave Williamson
<p>This week on Not The Best Podcast, I sat down with my buddy Dave Williamson.</p><p>Dave's a comedian, restaurant owner, festival organizer, husband, competitive bbqer, coach, mentor, dad, and somehow still finds time to do it all. We talked about everything from Vegas adventures and barbecue to building businesses, creating community, and balancing life when your schedule is packed.</p><p>What I like about Dave is that he's built some really cool things without trying to force it. He's all about relationships, supporting people, and letting things grow the right way.</p><p>A lot of laughs, a few wild stories, and plenty of good conversation in this one.</p><p>Check out Episode 5 with Dave Williamson, available now wherever you listen to podcasts.</p>

Episode 4: Al Frugoni
<p>A conversation w my guy Al Frugoni, aka the king of open fire. Coming from Argentina, Al’s been a huge mentor and friend to me for years, so getting to sit down and really talk through his journey was special.</p><p>We got into everything… how he made the jump from Argentina to the US, building businesses from the ground up, getting punched in the face by COVID, and still finding ways to adapt and keep moving forward. The dude is the definition of resilient.</p><p>We also talked about how social media completely changed the game, why cooking over open fire brings people together in a way nothing else does, and how community, family, and real relationships are at the center of everything he does.</p><p>Honestly this episode felt more like two friends catching up than an interview. A lot of laughs, a lot of perspective, and a reminder that the best things in life usually happen around good food and good people.</p><p></p><p></p>
