This was originally recorded in 2019 at my Grandfather’s home in Goose Creek. I sit down to interview William Dale Ribbeck aka ‘Papa Dale’ and we discuss his big life as a sailor in the United States Navy. He retired as a distinguished Master Diver and his impact on my life is immeasurable. He passed away peacefully in his sleep last night and I am sharing this episode again as a comfort to myself and the many many many people who loved him. When I moved to New York in my early twenties he left me with this advice and I think we can all use it.

“Keep your nose clean ands don’t take no wooden nickels.”

In Memory of Master Chief William Dale Ribbeck

August 13, 1936 – November 6th, 2024

I make a startling realization about Tony Bourdain and Santeria while rewatching ‘No Reservations’.

My guest today is the hilarious Landon Bryant, known for is Instagram account @landontalks where he breaks down customs, sayings, foods and feelings unique to the South. His wildly funny videos explain things like “what is piddlin’ or what it means to “take to the bed.” In this episode he candidly shares what the best part about his overnight success is and if you love this episode you should go see him do stand-up LIVE Sunday Night July 21st, @ The Wits End in North Charleston. The first show is sold out but they added a second show at 9:00pm with the option for a meet and greet!! GO GET TICKETS. His jokes are even sweeter in person.

Special thanks to Nameless NumberHead and Terri K. for making this recording possible.

It’s been a long time…

I say “Frozen Ice” a lot in this episode but what I meant to say is “shaved ice” either way…don’t do it.

I come back from a short hiatus to chat with my childhood friend The Cornbread Cowboi. Though the internet knows him as the southern swaggy Duke of Drip (and hilarious meme king) I grew up with Orry Lee Kennedy in a small town in South Carolina called Williston. When we were growing up the population was 3243, today it’s down to down to just 2843. We talk about how he went from slicing brisket in a BBQ restaurant in Tampa to having over 600k followers on IG and being a full time performer with an epic closet of vintage american iconography. He’s hilarious and genuine and it was a real treat to sit down with him after all these years. Love you, O-Eazy.

This episode was recorded in front of a LIVE studio audience during ‘Effin’ Breakfast’ at the Counter Culture Training Center in downtown Charleston on 3/9/24.

My guest today is the wildly charming and incredibly talented Hannah Marie Welton of Welton’s Tiny Bakeshop, Charleston’s darling jewel of a bakery that has us all wrapped around its tiny little finger. Hannah candidly shares how she and her husband Zachary created their iconic “Honey Pie” while cooking in the jungles of Tulum and dives into their origin story in the kitchen at Sean Brock’s: Husk. It’s no secret that I adore them and their entire team and I hope you enjoy this conversation and one day have a chance to try their exquisite baked goods for yourself. A special thanks to Counter Culture for sponsoring this epic event and to every single person who braved an actual flood to be apart of this unforgettable day. ILSYM. You’re the effin’ best.
