We kick off Season 7 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast with a friend of the show going back to our early days on local radio in 2016. Not only is he a hometown hero, but Brad Leighninger is arguably the best to light a pit - and he’s never been better than currently. Brad and Gettin’ Basted already has three Grand Championships since the KCBS points season began in November and is off and running toward a fourth Team of the Year honor. The new KCBS Hall of Famer from the organization’s inaugural 2025 induction class touches on a variety of subjects, including the possibility of cooking Memphis in May under the Gettin’ Basted banner for the first time, tweaking competition flavors and his various restaurant endeavors.
Meanwhile, Skyler Spartan from show sponsor The Grill Guys of Missouri stops in to tell us about some new products at the southwest Missouri store. Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve catch up on their winter cooking adventures and make their NFL predictions for the respective AFC and NFC championship games.
