Shut Up Gail - Bo Knox | Ep 15

from Billy Merritt's (Improv) Spotlight · host Billy Merritt, Hill Kane

Guest: Bo Knox (Off the Eaten Path) What if food criticism was less Michelin stars… and more emotional-support gas station? In this episode, Gail sits down with Bo Knox — pilot, podcaster, accidental romantic, and co-host of Off the Eaten Path, a food show dedicated to overlooked restaurants, bowling alley pizza, suspicious strip mall gems, gas station delicacies, and the kind of meals Yelp usually forgets to mention. Bo's philosophy? 👉 Sometimes the best food comes from the places nobody expects. Also: 👉 Never trust a robot with a hamburger. Together, Gail and Bo unpack risky plane purchases, food with emotional backstories, hotel review disputes, gas station meat sticks, six marriages (and six divorces) with the same woman, and the complicated emotional logistics of co-hosting a podcast with your ex-wife. There are food opinions. There are relationship revelations. There is a rapid-fire round that becomes unexpectedly sincere. 👀 What You'll Definitely Not See Coming: A Baptist church deviled egg debate. A suspiciously emotional conversation about catfish. The gas station delicacy known only as The Red Dragon. A mall-related yelling session. And the moment Bo accidentally reveals he may have preferred Beth's sister. About Bo Knox Bo Knox is the host of Off the Eaten Path, a proudly unpretentious food podcast celebrating overlooked restaurants, gas stations, roadside diners, bowling alley pizza, and hidden gems that deserve more attention. Alongside his ex-wife and co-host Beth, Bo travels in search of memorable meals, surprising stories, and proof that sometimes the best food comes from the least expected places. His focus: 👉 Great food deserves a story — and sometimes the story tastes even better than the sandwich.

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit Reading Roulette: Choose Your Own Adventure Podcast readingroulette Reading Roulette is a Choose Your Own Adventure literary podcast, covering the classic children's books from the 80's and 90's Explicit Sci-fi Hourglass Podcast Billy-John.
