Episode 269 features former Major League Baseball pitcher, Bill Pulsipher, telling his story to help others, Bubb'n Mutha's founder, John Fuhrman dishing out barbecue and baseball talk, Leonard rants, and we celebrate our show's seven year anniversary.
Bill Pulsipher is one third of what New York Mets fans once knew as "Generation K." It was a moniker he shared with his two other teammates, Jason Isringhausen and Paul Wilson. The media dubbed them as the members and the fans, desperate for players to help their team, bought into the hype. The amount of pressure this placed on Bill and the other two Generation K members was extreme and Bill tells all, including a career derailed by injuries and severe depression. Bill spent parts of six Major League Baseball seasons with the New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and St. Louis Cardinals. We tend to put these talented athletes on pedestals and revere them as heroes, but pulling back the curtain reveals they are as human as everyone else and, after listening to Bill's story you may have a new appreciation for what some of them deal with.
John Fuhrman is the founder of Bubb'n Mutha's which manufactures premium spice rub blends. After serving in the United States Navy, John, worked in the auto industry and ended up in North Carolina. While there he fell in love with barbecue and learned how to cook it and experimented with different spices and rubs. John returned to Maine and started this company, making his products with special real Maine ingredients like organic blueberry powder, maple crystals and even Raye’s Mustard which is the oldest mustard company in America. John loves baseball and barbecue and we delve deeply into both topics. For more information on John or to order his products go to https://www.bubnmuthas.com

Joseph R. Haynes is an award winning barbecue cook, a Kansas City Barbeque Society Master Certified Barbecue Judge, and an author. He also authored the Virginia Barbecue Proclamation that was unanimously passed by the Virginia State Legislature in 2016. His latest tome, From Barbycu to Barbecue: The Untold History of an American Tradition offers a fresh new look at the story of southern barbecuing. The book includes an analysis of historical sources throughout the Americas that show that the southern barbecuing technique is as unique to the United States as jerked hog is to Jamaica and barbacoa is to Mexico. A recipe in each chapter provides a contemporary interpretation of a historical technique. Joined by guest co-host, Doug Scheiding, we all learn a lot about the history of the cooking method we love.
Josh Schaub is the commissioner of the American Association of Professional Baseball. Schaub oversees their operations, media, expansion, revenue initiatives, technology enhancements and emergence, public relations, and relationships in professional baseball.

Schaub also previously clerked for the Northern League.
