    Mark Anderson is one half of the Grill Dad's. He previously joined us on episode 143 with the other Grill Dad, Ryan Fey. This time he is flying solo and he provides an update on the exciting things the Grill Dads have been up to as well as discussing many other grilling related items. They have made numerous television appearances, including Guy's Big Project, hosted by Guy Fieri and they starred in the primetime shows, The Grill Dads and Comfort Food Tour on the Food Network. They have also appeared on Beat Bobby Flay, The Wendy Williams Show, The Today Show, and the Howard Stern Wrap-Up Show. They are also the authors of the cookbook, The Best Grilling Cookbook Ever Written By Two Idiots. Doug Scheiding adds his own special flair as we enjoy a grill filled discussion.

    Doug Kurkul has a day job, but it is his role as author that brings him to us as he discusses his latest tome, It's a Beautiful Day for Baseball which explores the game and players from the 1960's. The following fdescription taken from the book says it best. "Doug brings this memorable era to life, drawing on contemporary news accounts, player memoirs, as well as recent interviews with dozens of former players. The book provides an informative and amusing inside look at what it was like to be a major league ballplayer in the Sixties, making It's a Beautiful Day for Baseball the definitive 21st Century book on 1960s baseball. Doug is a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. In 2009, as CEO of the Reno-Sparks Chamber of Commerce, he collaborated with Pacific Coast League President, Branch Rickey III and Aces manager Brett Butler to welcome the Reno Aces as the PCL's newest team.
