Ep. 117: Booger Bar Rainman (Ft. Mahlon Steepleton & Royalty Klub)

We are overjoyed to welcome double the trouble to Top Shelf Studios for a two-guest episode that’s twice as “Iowa-Nice”, since I met both of them in Cedar Rapids while they were studying at Mount Mercy University.  

One guest, a newcomer to InTALLeable — Mahlon Steepleton — just returned from a long hot summer in Reno, NV, where he worked as a sportswriter covering the ever-enthralling action of professional women's bowling. The second guest, a seasoned veteran of the show — Josh Harmon (AKA Royalty Klub) — is BACK and he brought enough to share with the class. Royalty Klub debuts an unreleased track called: ‘Energy’, heard exclusively here on InTALLerable!

I met Mahlon & Josh at Moco Hotdog Bar while attending Coe College. They were buddies at the other school in town and we all quickly became friends at this (unfortunately named for Spanish-speakers) hotdog bar. To this day, I still cannot believe they didn’t “pitch” the name by at least ONE Spanish speaking person. Or perhaps folks that’s part of why they served hotdogs and not dank street tacos, but that’s beside the point. 

We discuss fanhood in sports, acknowledge yet another Bobby Bonilla Day, Moneyball, Mahlon’s pilgrimage to the Oakland A’s stadium, and Mahlon attempts to break the shout-out record for TSS. If you like movie talk, you won’t want to miss a new game with Mahlon in the after-hours portion of the show. We give him a movie title and he tells us what year it was released. This dude is a rainman and movie-release-year is his rain, man. 

 

Special sale on our vaulted episode catalog running now over at Patreon.com/InTALLerable 

All proceeds go right back into the months of future guests on the show! That means more content for your ears! 

 

Tall thanks to both these boys for the shared time & laughter. We’ll run it back next time Mahlon goes to Reno.
