About this listen

August 5–6, 2005: Five rugby players. One roadside BBQ joint. Twenty guys packed in a hotel room. One missing prop. And some very questionable painkillers.

In this throwback episode of Big Boyz BBQ Bytes, John Thomas recounts a legendary road trip to the Can-Am Rugby Tournament in Saranac Lake, NY — starting with ribs at Tail o’ the Pup BBQ, peaking with a Greyhound love story, and ending with slurred speech, solid legal advice, and a realization that rugby and barbecue share one universal truth: Even when you’re competing, you’re still among friends.

Also in this episode: Recaps from Blaze of '47 and Albany County Fair BBQ competitions Jackpot Vegas comp update — officially off the waitlist
