99. Maxine & Kirt from Maxine’s On Shine



John and Coleman are on-location at “Maxine’s On Shine”! They sit down and chat with the owners, Kirt and Maxine! We talk about their success with their many awards and nominations, as well as the tribulations and difficulties that come with operating a business. Also, they talk about some events that they have coming up, things on their menu, and they even tell us a bit about themselves on a personal level (among MUCH more). They have a lovely place and they are lovely people. “Maxine’s On Shine” this year is nominated at Orlandoweekly.com for “best brunch, best bloody mary, and best place to take a date”, and they have also won Reader’s and Critic’s Choice awards for the Orlando Magazine year after year since 2013. What do you expect? They’re in the Dining Hall of Fame! We encourage you to vote for them this year and check out their unique restaurant if you haven’t already! Huge thanks to Kirt and Maxine, they’re a complete delight and interviewing them was a real treat with a lot of hilarity involved. Go to maxinesonshine.com to find out more! We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy chatting, laugh with us or at us, and tip your pizza maker gosh darn it!


Backyard Sessions 13 – Trey from Swervey Jones Show & Cookin’ Up Comedy



On this 13th edition, Rocky and John have producer and host, Trey Siwek from “Swevery Jones Show” and “Cookin’ Up Comedy”! It was a real treat because for the first time, we are in our guest’s backyard, and he cooks for us! We discuss a range of things, from his experience in doing talk shows to his passion for cooking.

This episode is in 3 segments, we had a huge scary fire in the middle of us that Trey was cooking on and it just made sense to be careful and stand back! He was also making drinks for us and was easily the busiest guest we’ve had, while being on point for the conversation. His hospitality was amazing and we can not thank him enough for hosting us at his home while we hosted him on the show. Check out his hilarity on the Swervey Jones Show or Cookin’ Up Comedy Podcasts, but for right now, enjoy an hour of Trey Siwek!


Backyard Sessions 11 – Lesley Jo



Episode 11 of Backyard Sessions is featuring the multi-talented Lesley Jo! She’s a comedian/comedy host in Orlando, and a talk show host of “State of the Beer Union” and as of recently, “Tidbits”. Rocky and John bounce around quite a bit in asking their questions. Discussions included food, beer, Lesley’s perfect day, her making the change from introvert to extrovert, and obviously more!

It was a lazy day so Rocky and John ordered pizza instead of making chicken, but there was an assorted beer bucket to make up for it! Which was nothing compared to all of the beers Lesley has ever tried as she talks about her favorite kinds. She also has some insight on the comedy scene and what it’s like to be wrapped up in it. Kick back and enjoy an hour of comedian Lesley Jo!


62. Piesenberg’s Pad / Viral Videos to Actual Viruses



Episode 62 just has Coleman and John, and they are NOT on the PodPatio! Discussions include Coleman’s place, the threshold of time given to old food, Coleman’s new pizza officially on the Tornatore’s menu, and a number of other things.

They talk about some of their future local guests that they hope to schedule; And in doing a segment of “Did Ya Hear?”, topics such as suicide, extreme viral videos, and actual viruses come up. Fun as always with a lot of low brow humor and laughs!

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy recording, and LAUGH WITH US OR AT US! – John
