Ep 154: Ride to Santa Rosa with Ben Perry talking Carl Ruiz and more
One of Carl's west coast friends Ben Perry was kind enough to pick me up in San Francisco and drive me up to Santa Rosa. Never talked to Ben before so why not podcast our first conversation. We talk about Carl, beer, I try to get people to jump off the Golden Gate bridge and more. I'm in California for a very special taping of Guy Fieri's Grocery Games as they pay tribute to Carl Ruiz.

Ep 153: PREQUEL Carl Ruiz predicted his death accurately 2 yrs ago
Before starting the podcast with Carl I was trying out the concept on Facebook Live. August 2017 we made a road trip to Rochester so Carl can meet and hang with Brother Wease. Carl reminded me of a younger Brother Wease who is everything to me. On this episode you get a taste of our drive to Rochester, drinking tequila with Brother Wease and doing Wease's very successful radio show. There were so many laughs and then Wease asked Carl about the lifespan of a chef. Carl's answer took the air out of the room. Sadly his answer was creepy accurate.

Ep 152: WHEELS OFF at Carl Ruiz memorial at La Cubana
On the last episode Matt Farah's melted edibles kicked in just as we were saying goodbye at Gebhard's. We went down to the meat packing district for Carl's memorial at his restaurant, La Cubana. The wheels came completely off. Kicked out of La Cubana we persevered for Carl. Pushing through as we podcasted on the sidewalk competing with the cold, the wind, shots spilled on the podcast equipment, drunken babble, loud competing music and a tripping Vic Henley. Then there was Freddy! You won't soon forget him. Yes there are a few chunky edits which were on purpose for obvious reasons. I threw the original audio in the river so don't ask if I have it. Carl we love you with all our hearts! Rest easy. Huge thanks to Matt Farah, Nick Solares and Mike Safo for helping me shape this into an amazing episode.

Ep 151: Pregaming with edibles before Carl Ruiz Memorial at La Cubana
Met Matt Farah from the Smoking Tire podcast, Vic Henley and Stuntbrain at Gebhard's Beer Culture to do a little pregaming before heading to La Cubana for the Carl Ruiz memorial. Matt offered us his melted tin of edibles which made it very difficult to figure out how much to take. Try to figure out when exactly the edibles kicked in for each of us!
