Carl’s back from the family road trip to Memphis in May BBQ Championship and he did NOT hold back. Sherrod Small in studio as Carl spills on 17-hour drives with angry-wife speeding, tricking the kids with alligator “chicken fingers,” Bass Pro Shops pyramid fishing, getting blackout on blue Hawaiian fishbowl drinks, Winner’s Row BBQ with Michelin-star pitmasters, and the unsettling VIP Graceland tour where Elvis is buried in the backyard.
