Ardie Davis aka Remus Powers, Ph.B. is a 2016 Barbecue Hall of Fame member in the celebrity/humanitarian category.  Ardie is a founder of the American Royal Barbecue Sauce Contest which is the world's largest sauce contest.  He is a charter member of the KCBS, instrumental in the development of the Certified Barbecue Judge curriculum, and author of the oath recited by each judge prior to judging a contest.  Ardie has written numerous BBQ books.  He has also been interviewed by the History Channel regarding barbecue, on more than one occasion.  In 2003 he was named a Kansas City Barbecue Legend by the The Kansas City Star. Ray Sheehan is no stranger to awards as he has been writing award winning cookbooks and producing a lineup of award winning sauces and rubs over the last several years.  His latest achievement is his induction into the prestigious Order of the Magic Mop.  The ceremony was led by Barbecue Hall of Famer Ardie Davis, who presented Ray with the symbolic Magic Mop in recognition of his contributions to the betterment of barbecue and humankind, and his ongoing efforts to promote youth involvement in barbecue.  The mop was signed by Ardie Davis and Carolyn Wells, as well as being marked “XX for Chef Paul Kirk.” The mop, made by the late Mr. Gattuso, is believed to be the last of its kind, crafted with an olive wood handle, high-quality Egyptian cotton head, stainless steel wire, and a stainless steel nail.  For more information on Ray Sheehan and his products go to https://www.raysheehan.com/ David Krell is an author and baseball historian.  He joins us once again as he discusses his new book, Bo Belinsky:  The Rise, Fall and Rebound of a Playboy Pitcher.  Belinsky's story is fascinating.  He began in the minor leagues in the mid–1950s, gained a spotlight with a no-hitter for the Angels during his rookie season, and endured severe ups and downs. Along the way, he dated the most famous actresses in America, including Mamie Van Doren, Connie Stevens, and Tina Louise.  Fans did not know about the disastrous effect of Belinsky's alcoholism and drug abuse. Three marriages resulted in divorces.  In the 1990s when he moved to Las Vegas he embraced sobriety and found a satisfying new career.  Interviews with Belinsky's friends and colleagues show a different side to this controversial player who experienced the benefits and the terrific costs of fame.  For more information on David go to https://davidkrell.com/ Dan Lloyd is a cofounder of the Big Dog Sauce Company, specializing in all-natural sauces and rubs.

We started our journey in 2018 with our first competition at Tomato Days, where we earned a reserve grand champion title. From that moment on, we were hooked. Initially, there were four of us on the team, but as life got in the way, two members dropped out. However, Mitch and I continued to pursue our passion. Our first KCBS competition took place in Bullhead City, where we met Anthony. It was there that we realized just how much we still had to learn. While focusing on mastering the four meats, we also got involved with the SCA, where we found success. We received invitations to the world championships four times in a row, and Mitch performed well enough to advance to the next round. In 2024, we decided we were ready to fully commit to KCBS and set ambitious goals, including a desire to compete at The Jack. Despite facing setbacks, we persevered. Although we didn't receive an invitation last year, we continued to push ourselves harder. I told Mitch that all I wanted for our anniversary was to attend The Jack, and we achieved that dream. We had an amazing time, and this experience has only fueled our determination to return.
