(January 27, 2026 - Hour One)9:14pm - Usually you see her earlier in January, but she was traveling and then I was traveling and we agreed that it would be best to move to THIS Tuesday to do our first quarterly appearance together. Jess Pryles has been as busy as ever, and we talk about her latest trips, soaking rib roasts in milk, if the "Grill Dad's" rib roast method is genius or nonsense, her new TV show and much more! Yes, we end the segment with "Betwixt The Two"...a crowd favorite!9:35pm - After Jess, we meet the co-founder and CEO of the "BBQ World Cup", Scott Erdmann. Tonight's segment will be the laying of the ground work of how they got to here...and after the Super Bowl...we will plan to do another segment to talk about the full details, as they will be released at that point. So, while I might not get every question answered, we can certainly learn why this event is important and why Scott thought it was important enough to get off the ground.The BBQ Central Show SponsorsSmokin Pecan Pellets – Use promo code “BBQCENTRAL” For 10% Off Your OrderPrimo GrillsBig Poppa Smokers – Use promo code “REMPE15” for 15% off your entire purchase!FireboardPit Barrel CookerMicallef Cigars – Premium Hand Rolled Cigars
