Season Two - Episode 12 - James Jim McClendon "Grizzly"
From the mountains of Alabama, to Sherwood Forest in Memphis, to the jungles of Vietnam and back again, Grizzly lived the life. A free and independent thinker, Jim was a man's man. He was funny, smart but most of all, intimidating. How? How do you know that is stronger, tougher, more unafraid, more unpredictable and to top it all off, smarter than you? Not many of those out there but Jim was one. Warning: This is not a happily ever after story.

Season Two - Episode 11 - Steve Shewchuk
This is an especially important episode about a friend of mine that the world never got to know. Poor world. This is a story of our own Einstein. This is a story about genius on a scale that no one can even imagine. Listen and see if you don't agree!

Season Two - Episode 10 - Black and White and Polk Clark
Tonites episode is a story of segregation, integration, glory, success and somehow avoiding a terrible ass whupping. We go from 1st grade thru college. Just some stories about how our generation was the first to have a chance to do things the right way. It took both races to make it a success. And we tried like hell!

Season Two - Episode 9 - Animal House In Memphis
We told one of these stories in Season 1 and have plenty more. Tonites is probably the wildest one and scariest in some ways. I am hoping that the statute of limitations has expired for obvious reasons! We were young, too smart for our own good and oblivious to the outside world plus we were usually drunk. Yep, we had some damn good times!

Season Two - Episode 8 - Uncle Gary, The POT King
We started this story in Season 1 and tonite, we finish. Gary was laid back, big time. But he turned his obsession into a huge business. From broke to being a millionaire by being good with plants. And then a lot of bad stuff happened. This episode contains a bit more realism that most so this is your warning: Not all live happily ever after.

Can’t wait for season 2
I loved every episode. The funeral was my favorite. I laughed so hard. I’m from Alabama and you hit the nail on the head with that one. Keep up the great work.
