Bo is a tad upset about his vintage Trans Am getting scratched. Once that is off his chest, the gang takes a few shots at the Spartanburg, SC sheriff. They then weigh in on the Super Bowl and the Super Bowl commercials. Yes, they discuss the stupid Coke commercial controversy. Lisa and Dawn try to convince Bo that the Carolina Panthers are his home team and he is therefore obligated to be a fan. In fact Lisa and Dawn, in a show of sisterly solidarity, gang up on Bo throughout the entire episode. They do mention the death of actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman but only as a segue into a conversation that shows how very little everyone at the table knows about the actor Liam Neeson. It is when the gang discuss the viral picture of the double toilets in Sochi that this tyypically comical podcast turns into the gross-cast as the gang takes toilet humor past the point of no return. In the end, Bo shows us all that we don't know shit from Shine-ola.  Listen and enjoy.   When we said what we said:  Dale Jr 5:31.0 / Carolina Panthers 9:13.0 / Sheriff of Spartanburg SC 9:58.0 / Super Bowl commercials 14:36.0 / Butterfinger 16:30.0 / Coke commercial controversy 18:10.0 / Phillip Seymour Hoffman 24:34.0 / Liam Neeson 28:40.0 / heroine 30:06.0 / one more thing about Coke 31:34.0 / redneck debate on Myan Ruins 32:14.0 / Mexican Squirrels 32:58.0 / gross cast begins 36:44.0 / Sochi double toilets 41:28.0 / fired crickets 49:10 / deviated septum 54:14.0 / swingers 57:00.0 / Liam Neeson again 59:58.0

Elizabeth tells us about her big ole college books. Bo and Dawn try to describe the hotness of Apocalypse Leonard's home grown peppers. Bo accuses Elizabeth of being high on Peyote only to find out that none of them knows what Peyote really is. Everyone is mean to Elizabeth and it is hilarious. Together, they say dude about 300 times. Listen and enjoy.

This may well be the most serious episode yet. Dawn and Bo take a hard stand against texting and driving. They pontificate on Paula Deen and sexism. Don't worry though, Dawn and Bo can't really ever be serious for long. They discuss a few less than practical solutions to sexual harassment and weigh in on bathing in a river. Dawn sees a beat up Opossum which sparks a discussion on road kill. Bo expresses his love of Applebee's. They slam country music and fast food. Of course no Red Mud and Rolling Hills podcast would be complete with out a mention of the apocalypse. Listen and enjoy. 

Bo turns 38 on the 18th the day after this recording. He starts his celebration a little early, which becomes more evident as the podcast progresses.  Dawne’s son Michael, who celebrated his 20th birthday on the 13th,  makes his premier appearance this week. Elizabeth and Jim also join the team making this a full episode. Jim and Bo trade insults. Dawne gets caught not paying attention to the race. The Gang bounces from Potty Training to Star Trek to Racing to South Park to Air Soft and back to Racing again and all the while making plenty of inappropriate jokes in between. Listen and enjoy.

Elizabeth returns to the Podcast this week attempting to school her elders on teenage vernacular. These three discuss texting, Mayberry, Carnies, and Communism. Yes, they do manage to work in a little NASCAR talk. Well, Bo talks NASCAR and Dawne makes South Park and Waterboy references. If you love the Queen of England or are serious about prostate health, then this episode may not be for you, otherwise . . . . Listen and Enjoy!

This week Dawne and Bo talk about Racing. And why not, they already have the accents! Danica Patrick's rookie status in NASCAR caused Dawne to revisit her former interest in the sport of racing. Dawne tries in vain to convince Bo to be a Ford fan. Bo tries in vain to catch Dawne up on what she has missed over the past 15 years. They both try in vain to stay on subject. Listen and enjoy.

Marybeth tells us why her brother likes prison. Bo tells us about his Mississippi family. Danwe figures out why her nerd seems to show more with age.

For the next two episodes Dawne and Bo sit down with their spouses and some special guests for hilarity yet unmatched on the podcast. Dawne's husband Jim makes his debut appearance. Jade also makes her first appearance. Marybeth and Lisa return. This episode is a no holds barred conversation held at the kitchen table. It doesn't get much more southern!

Seriously,she really hates eggs.Dawne explains how Bo's job is ruining her life and Bo holds Dawne's feet to the fire over a broken childhood promise. Both explain their difficulty with good byes. 

Bo and Dawne do not disagree that typically Southerners can't drive in the snow but Bo lays down a challenge for non-southerners to come and drive in the red mud of our foothills. Dawne shows her command of the english language by using "stupid, stupid" to describe everything on this podcast. Dawne has a beef with reality TV and does not mind expressing it. Bo's middle daughter is a very candid deep thinking teenager and has always been able rope the adults in her life in to some kind of adventure. Bo and Dawne swap a few Jade, stories. Though the threat of the apocalypse is over they also manage to throw a zombie snow man into the mix. 

Bo’s wife Marybeth and daughter Elizabeth join us for episode 8. Elizabeth starts this episode out with a dirty joke that embarrasses the hell out of Bo. Marybeth and Elizabeth give us their plan for the apocalypse. Marybeth reveals how cheap she really is and we get pretty analytical about the Nascar Awards. Look out for the Beavis and Butthead reference. Oh yes, we went there! Listen and enjoy. 

Bo and Dawne relate stories that only the ups and downs of gainful employment can make. Bo gets schooled on bras. Dawne tells a pregnant lady a lie that makes her go into labor.  The missing part from Ep. 6 is also included. Also, who would freeze a Whopper? Listen and Enjoy. 

Everywhere they go mayhem seems to follow, even if they attend a police academy graduation. Dawne and Bo discuss Smokey and the Bandit, robots built to change tires and the monkey that makes sure children take naps. There are consequences to allowing children to see horror movies at a young age and we are it! Listen and enjoy.

At the age of 7 Bo sacrificed his index finger for a racing poster of Richard Petty, which must put him high in the running for the most dedicated lifelong race fan. We talk about that incident in this episode. We also pontificate on the holidays, movies and fat people. To make things even more interesting we throw in some smack talk about Nature. Nothing is safe from our scathing comentary. Our sister Lisa joins us at the end to put in her two cents. She also takes a little ribbing!

In this episode Bo delights us with strories of the Cruise he went on with our Daddy and he tells us how he tricked his wife with a Raccoon. I offer no explaination as to why I would let my 10 year old watch Eddie Murphy but I do let you see a little deeper into my strange sense of humor. Enjoy!

In episode 2 we discuss the consequesnces of growing up without filters. A coworker of mine manages to see Jerry Clower in concert nearly 15 years after he has passed away.  Bo and I have different version of the composition of road dope. We talk about our father "laugh a minute Larry." We are kind of all over the place like usual.  Thank you for listening and enjoy!
