"We‘re Gonna Do Part of the Hot Ones Experience" — We turn up the heat in this episode as Russell, Hayward, and Nathan take on a full-blown Hot Ones style wing challenge in honor of Oxford’s upcoming Hot Sauce Festival. The crew surprises Russell for his birthday, sparking stories between tears, laughs, and a lineup of fiery sauces (yes, even The Bomb). Along the way, Russell shares wild tales—from punk rock days and disc golf glory to goat encounters and a legendary rotten potato incident.

Chad Smith

"Then I Realized I Hate This" — In this episode, we sit down with Chad Smith to hear the remarkable story of how a health crisis, a cross-country move, and a leap of faith led him from Vermont and Boston to Oxford. Chad opens up about his wife’s life-saving transplant, his decades of experience in design and construction, and how he’s found new purpose in a small town through disc golf, community, and creativity. It’s a heartfelt, funny, and deeply human conversation about change, support, and starting over.

Tommy Sellers

"I Made These Awesome Chrome Fangs" — Tommy joins us in the studio to reflect on a remarkable journey that took him and his family from coast to coast in the aftermath of the Covid era. He shares vivid stories from his days in the early ’90s music scene with his band As Yet Untitled, delves into his dental career, and recounts some wild celebrity encounters—like crafting fangs for Al Jourgensen. From band practice in Sacramento to life next to an alpaca ranch in the mountains, this episode is a ride through unexpected turns and unforgettable tales.

Joe Norris

"I’m Just Gonna Live Here on This Boat Forever" — With fire season ramping up, Joe joins Russell and Chad to share the origin story of Ember Flash Aerospace—the groundbreaking company he co-founded that's changing the game in climate disaster response. He reflects on his winding journey across multiple states (and even life aboard a boat) before finally settling in Oxford. Along the way, the conversation drifts into fire response tech, the potential of AI, and a shared appreciation for Waterworld. Joe also recounts the time he scaled a water tower, while the crew dives into topics like being proudly anti-sleeping in, crokinole, and the unmatched greatness of pontoon boats.

Russell & Chad (#1)

"Just Imagine if People Were Pets" — Russell and Chad settle into the studio for their first podcast without a guest. They kick things off with a lighthearted chat about pets before touching on a range of topics, from poison ivy and stitches to Native American culture and mountain men. Chad shares his journey to Oxford, and the two of them reminisce about what brought them to the Oxford Disc Golf Club. They dive into their shared love for disc golf, highlight Russell's recent tournament win, and wrap up with a reflective look at the podcast approaching its one-year anniversary.
