Episodes

Coke Bottle Full of Rocks: The Golden Age of Sideline Football
Before you were old enough to suit up on Friday nights, you were out there anyway just running routes on a strip of grass by the bleachers, using whatever you could find (or steal) for a football. This week Matt, Eric, Drake, and Joey rank the unofficial hierarchy of sideline football gear, from the elite stolen-from-the-field-house ball down to the dreaded three-liter Coke bottle stuffed with roc

A Southerner's Guide to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
A Southerner's Guide to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Yes, Alabama has beaches — barely enough to earn the plural, but they're ours and we love them. This week the boys take you down to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, the biggest non-Florida beach on the Gulf Coast and the reigning rival to Panama City.
We get into it all: which states send the most tourists down to our sand (Louisiana's got no bea

Death of the Southern Buffet: Big Fat Yeast Rolls
The fellas are hungry and getting nostalgic about the all-you-can-eat buffet — a dying breed. Matt, Eric, and Joey dig into Golden Corral, Ryan's, Quincy's, Shoney's, and Western Sizzling, stumble into the wild web of Southern restaurant founders behind Captain D's and Shoney's Big Boy, argue the unwritten rules of the buffet line, and remember every gross thing they ever saw at Ryan's. Plus: big

Bro Country: Who Killed Country Radio?
Bro Country: Who Killed Country Radio?
Matt, Eric, Drake, and Joey pour one out for country radio and try to pin down exactly when it all went sideways. What is bro country? A New York Magazine writer coined the term in 2013, but the guys trace the rot back much further — through Kenny Chesney's abs, Jason Aldean's dirt roads, and a fateful night watching Luke Bryan shake it for a tornado benefit

VBS Fight Club
VBS Fight Club
Grab a Dixie cup of watered-down Kool-Aid and pull up a folding chair — this week the boys are digging into Vacation Bible School, that summertime rite of passage for every kid raised in a Southern Baptist stronghold. Matt, Eric, Drake, and Joey trace VBS from its surprising origins (a rented beer hall in New York City, believe it or not) all the way to today's megachurch production

Go to Church or the Devil'll Get You
Go to Church or the Devil'll Get You
Pull over, we're stopping. This week the boys are riding shotgun through the South's greatest (and grimmest) roadside attractions — the giant Tin Man outside Demopolis, W.C. Rice's Cross Garden, the chrome bumper chicken, and that peach water tower that looks suspiciously like a butt. We rank the go-to stops (Peach Park cobbler, forever), crown the most overrat

Come On Down: The Game Show Episode
The gang is playing along at home this week as we run the whole game show gauntlet — from the daytime classics you watched while faking sick to the chaos of late-night Japanese TV.
Matt, Eric, Drake, and Joey get into Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and the Pat Sajak / Vanna White era, then argue about Steve Harvey's reign on Family Feud (and every host before him — Richard Dawson and that very

A Southern Guide to the 4th of July
A Southern Guide to the 4th of July
The South does Independence Day different, and we've got the receipts to prove it. This episode breaks down why TNT Fireworks (the nation's largest fireworks distributor) calls Alabama home, the unwritten rules of haggling at a firework stand, and exactly when it's socially acceptable to stop shooting off Roman candles in your neighbor's driveway.
We also get in

A Night at the Card Tournament
A vault episode from the early days, back when we were still calling the show Scattered and Covered and recording on location instead of in a studio. This one comes from Gamers Guild, a game shop in Jasper, Alabama, where we sat down in the middle of a Sunday night card tournament and talked to the folks running it.
We get into trading cards and the people who collect them, a binder that turned ou

Appalachian Superstitions We Still Can't Shake
You don't walk under a ladder, you don't break a mirror, and you sure don't walk on a grave — not because anybody explained why, but because Grandma said so. This week we get into Appalachian superstitions: death coming in threes, black cats, cows lying down before a rain, holding your breath past the graveyard, and eating turnip greens for money on New Year's (still hasn't worked). We don't belie

Child Labor & Other Fond Memories
Child Labor & Other Fond Memories
Everybody's first job was technically a crime scene. This week on Hoot'n & Holler'n, the crew gets into first jobs, worst jobs, and the ones we quit in record time, the gigs the government knew about and the ones it definitely didn't.
From hauling boxes of truckers' trip logs and choking on Bondo dust at a body shop, to practicing golf on company time, su

Gatlinburg or Nothing
For half the South, there's no debate: it's Gatlinburg or nothing.
This week we make the great Southern pilgrimage up to G-Berg — Sevier County, Tennessee, a.k.a. the Smokies, a.k.a. the only vacation some families have ever taken. We get into all of it: the saltwater taffy and the fudge, the moonshine that took over the strip, the airbrush tees and glow-in-the-dark mini golf, the great debate ove

Things on Sticks: A County Fair Conversation
We climbed into machines bolted together by strangers, ate things on sticks that had no business being on sticks, and lived to talk about it. This week on Hoot'n and Holler'n, we're talking carnivals and county fairs.
The guys swap stories about the rides that shouldn't have been legal (the Scrambler, the Gravitron, the Tilt-A-Whirl, the one that was just a circle that spun you until you got a han

Pawpaw Ain't Got Shorts
Summer in the rural South wasn't a vacation. It was a system.
You got dropped off at grandma's in the morning, ate something, went outside, came back in for more food, went back outside, and came in at dark. Every day. For three months.
In this episode, the boys break down everything that made a Southern summer in the 80s and 90s what it was. The ice cream truck. The Little Hugs from the

90s NBA: Backboards & Baggy Shorts
Most of us remember the 90s NBA as a Chicago story. The Bulls dynasty. The Dream Team. The commercials we still quote at each other thirty years later. But spend a little time digging into the decade and a different picture comes together...one that doesn't get talked about nearly as much.
Michael Jordan was from Wilmington, North Carolina. Scottie Pippen grew up in central Arkansas. The teal and

Pork Skins and Throwing Stars: The Death of the Southern Flea Market
It don't get more American than going to the yard sale and the flea market on a Saturday morning. But the version we had down here in the South was never quite the same as the one they had everywhere else, and somewhere around 2010, it just stopped.
This week on Hoot'n & Holler'n, Matt, Eric, Drake, and Joey walk one more lap through the sacred aisles of the Southern flea market.
We get into t

Arcades in All the Wrong Places
Out in the rural South, a real arcade was a 45-minute drive and a pilgrimage to Charles Entertainment Cheese himself. The rest of the time, you made do with what you had....and what we had was one Pac-Man at the Pizza Hut, a Street Fighter at Dips and Dogs, and a beat-up row of cabinets up front at Walmart next to the kiddie ride that smelled like feed and chicken pox.
This week on Hoot'n & Ho

Chicken Boo and the Saturday Morning Cartoon Era
He's not a man. He's a Chicken Boo.
On this episode, we're looking back at the golden age of Saturday morning cartoons. That sacred five-hour window between 7 AM and noon when kids across America parked themselves two feet from the TV and disappeared into a bowl of sugary cereal and animated chaos.
We're talking Doug. X-Men. Animaniacs. Masters of the Universe. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Rugrat

Three Helmets and a Duffel Bag - Little League in the South
There is no experience more uniquely Southern than Little League Baseball in small-town Alabama. Everywhere else in the country, it's a program. Down here, it's a situation.
This week, Matt, Drake, Joey, and Eric are taking it back to the dusty infields, the borrowed helmets, and the army-green duffel bags of Dizzy Dean and Dixie Youth baseball. We're talking about the equipment that barely worked

Southern Spring Break: Club La Vela vs. Club La MeeMaw
Spring break in the South meant one of two things: Panama City chaos… or a fried bologna at Meemaw’s.
This week on Hoot’n & Holler’n, we’re diving into what spring break really looked like growing up in the 80s and 90s before Cancun trips and credit card debt. From AEA Week in Alabama to road trips fueled by Shoney’s breakfast bars, Tiger Electronics, and empty threats of “don’t make me turn

The Tornado-Chasing Garbage Man
We’re back in the vault.
This episode of Scattered & Covered comes from one of our live, on-location recordings where we basically set up, see who walks by, and let it rip.
This time, we met a garbage man who chases tornadoes.
From the Boston Celtics to trash truck mechanics to real-life storm chasing in Alabama, this one goes everywhere and somehow keeps getting better.

The Episode That Shouldn’t Exist (But Here We Are)
Somehow… this became a full episode.
What started as leftover clips from our last recording quickly turned into something we couldn’t ignore. We went off the rails, stayed there, and now you’re listening to the results.
In this episode, we bounce between mariachi bands playing “Achy Breaky Heart,” an ongoing rat situation that may or may not be escalating, the chaos of Costco, competitive eating l

Pre-Internet Lies We All Believed
Before Google, before smartphones, before you could fact-check anything in 2 seconds… we just believed stuff.
In this episode, the guys dive into the wild world of pre-internet urban legends—the rumors, myths, and straight-up lies that somehow spread across the country with zero proof and 100% confidence.
From Marilyn Manson being that kid from The Wonder Years, to Pop Rocks and Coke “killin

The Ultimate Cable TV Movie Bracket

That’s Illegal Now
This week on Hoot'n & Holler'n we're reaching back to the not-so-distant past to a time when riding in the back of a truck, wandering the woods all day, buying cigs for your parents at the gas station, and drinking straight from the hose felt completely normal… and somehow nobody called the authorities.
The guys swap stories about growing up in an era where the main safety plan was “try not to

The Great Happy Meal Arms Race
What happened to Happy Meal toys… and why did they used to be so much better?

We dive into the surprising history behind the 90s Happy Meal “arms race,” when competing designers were tr

Underwear Love Letters
This week on Hoot’n & Holler’n, we dig into the wonderfully awkward world of childhood Valentine’s Day to discuss the era of Big B valentine's, pocket chocolates, and stuffing handwritten love notes in your underwear.

It’s a nosta

This week on Hootn and Hollern, the guys kick things off with a serious journalistic investigation into Taco Bell’s ever-rotating menu and whether a quesadilla can, in fact, ruin a man’s afternoon.

In this episode of Hootin’ & Hollerin’, the guys take trip back to the era when MTV stopped playing music videos and started changing television forever.

From there, the conversation

You’ve Got Mail (And It’s a Scam)
In this episode of Hootin’ & Hollerin’, the guys take a nostalgic (and mildly traumatic) stroll through the early days of the internet—back when dial-up screamed like a wounded robot, pop-ups promised free cruises, and nobody trusted putting a credit card online.

Scattered & Covered: Honey Buns & Tanning Beds
Scattered & Covered (From the Vault)
We took the week between Christmas and New Year’s off… but we didn’t leave you hanging.
Before Hootin’ & Hollerin’ was Hootin’ & Hollerin’, Matt and Eric had a very ambitious idea: set up podcast equipment in random places across the South and interview whoever was brave (or bored) enough to sit down. That concept was called Scattered & Cove

Stocking Stuffers & Childhood Scars

Hot Dogs, Pay Phones & JCPenny Crimes
