Chad Comeau and Chris Keller didn't set out to become Kansas City Chiefs superfans, but they definitely ended up becoming Chiefs superfans. In this episode, listen to them talk about their journey, the origins of the war wagon, going to the big game, and tailgating. Even if your team, like theirs, isn't playing Sunday, they'll get you ready to throw down. Give it a listen, it's a good one.  #tailgating #ChiefsKingdom #blackstonegriddle #superbowl 

In part two of our conversation with Katie Eaves, we get into everything you need to do to prepare for your death. From finding a spot to dig your own grave to sourcing lumber to build your coffin, Katie guides us through the process to make it easier on our loved ones when we do pass. Or instead she talks about the legal things we actually have to do so our family can just call the man for the other stuff. Give it a listen, it's a good one.  #EstatePlanning #funeralplanning #eulogy #Obituary 

While many of us think about what we want to do before we die, rarely do we think about planning for what happens with our assets, mementos, leftover whiskey, and dogs after we go. In this episode, we talk with attorney Katie Eaves who specializes in just such things. Do you need a will or a trust? Does it matter if you don't have much to leave? Can you torment people from beyond the grave? Find out the answers to these questions and more. Give it a listen, it's a good one. #Attorneys #estateplanning #wills #trusts #scavengerhunts 

For part two of our latest, Joe, well, Joe tells a story, one involving a dirt road, some Old Crow whiskey, a heifer, and a Rottweiler, among other characters. There's also a diner, a Suzuki Samurai, and while it no funny, it is funny. Give it a listen, it's a good one.  #cows #heifers #dirtroads #rottweiler #Lariat #oldcrow #cbradio 

For this episode, Joe, Adam, and Rich went raw. No guest. No planned topics. Just talking. Give it a listen, it's a good one.  #muskratlove #rabbitholes #contests #cooking #rawdog 

Michael Nimmo's time as an active duty Marine was cut short, not by injury but behavior. Once he was back in Arkansas, lacking a mission, he continued down a dark path he'd begun in the service. In part two of our conversation with him, listen to Nimmo discuss his tumble to the bottom and his journey back up, one that's ongoing. Give it a listen, it's a good one.  #marines #dicksonstreet #alcohol #drugs #redemption

For the latest episode, former Marine Michael Nimmo joins us in the studio to discuss pickles. We also get into different types of pickles.

In part two of our conversation with Jim Totten about his book "Rescue Me," we find out how he got Spin home from Afghanistan, what life with him was like, and why animals are so crucial to human existence. We also get into Christmas presents, city life, and go down various other rabbit holes. Give it a listen, it's a good one.  #afghanistan #centralasianshepherd #dogs #horses #cities #pigeon 

In the first episode of season 5, friend of the show Jim Totten joins us to discuss his new book "Rescue Me," a story about growing up, animals, and bringing home a dog from Afghanistan. In true Cookin' Up a Story style, though, the conversation went totally off the rails into a variety of other topics. Don't worry, though, we actually discuss the book in part two. Part one is a good one, too, though, give it a listen.  #afghanistan #dogs #centralasianshepherd #rabbitholes #footbread 

In our final episode of 2025, we took a step back and let all the listeners who joined us for the white elephant party tell their stories. From portals to, well, portals and box stands to (unregulated) boxing matches, this one has a bit of everything. It's a good one, give it a listen. #newyear #fighting #police #lsd #stories #valueforvalue 

What happens when over 20 people gather in the studio for a white elephant exchange, one that occurs while recording an episode with no real theme? Lots of things, but mainly shenanigans, insults, and lots of theft along with our gift to those of you who weren't able to attend: rabbit hole after rabbit hole. Merry Christmas and give it a listen, it's a good one.  #christmas #dirtysanta #whiteelephant #cacti #gifts #holidays

Find out the answers to those questions, and more, in the latest episode. Give it a listen, it's a good one.  #trapshooting #shotguns #samurai #sword #balls #airheads
