Mic Check? Toby’s Out, Brett’s In, and Deon Blackwell Brings the Heat

This week, we welcome Deon Blackwell—Tampa artist, musician, and all-around awesome guest—to talk all things Halloween, fatherhood, and the wonders of Sweede Fest! From Black Friday Tic Tacs to dollar bills stapled on the wall, we go deep into some of life’s finest absurdities. And when it’s time to dive into being “girl dads,” Deon brings both humor and heart. With Toby mysteriously absent due to “technical difficulties” (aka, his mic gave up before he even started), Brett steps up to save the day, delivering a chef’s kiss edition of Skyline chili 3-way that steals the spotlight. Meanwhile, Jim and Robb are starting to question whether Toby takes this podcast seriously—or maybe he just needs a new mic? Get in on the laughs, the heart, and the heated Skyline chili debate.
