Sons of the Double Cheeseburger
By Brandon and Kevin Woosley
Part check-in, part current event discussion, part free-associative absurdity, Sons of the Double Cheeseburger is a semi-regular eavesdrop on the relationship of brothers Kevin and Brandon Woosley. Sometimes it's comfort food, sometimes it's more grisly than that. You'll figure out which is which.

Live in Chicago!
Live in Chicago!
This episode is a compilation of several live recordings when Brandon was in the Chicago area in June. Enjoy Brandon and Kevin, along with assorted family members who may be guests against their wishes. The topics include college life, burritos, baseball, and family. This is recorded in a restaurant, a minivan, and a dining room, so sound quality is a little raw, but the energy is

This is a very Chicago episode, as Brandon and Kevin are here to talk about big, swarthy mustaches and sample Malort, a drink you will normally only find in the City of Big Shoulders. Maybe in Cicero, too. They also give some overdue love to a couple of albums they overlooked in the '90s.
If you're a Malort drinker, how would you describe the experience? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page or on Instagram!

On Second Thought...(non-Spotify Version)
Kevin and Brandon answer the question, "What music were you wrong about the first time around?" They talk about bands and songs that they probably should have given a second chance to earlier, and music that didn't age as well as they thought it would. If you are listening on a platform other than Spotify, we can't share the songs with you within the podcast, but you can go look them up if you don't already know them. Sorry about that. Hope you enjoy it!

This episode Kevin catches us up on his recent trip to Detroit, and some of the experiences he had there. We also talk about drunk driving, and where you the esteemed listener lives. Not in that order, exactly, and not in any way that is strictly related. Enjoy!

Kevin and Brandon check in, and talk about Chuck Feeney, the billionaire who gave away his entire fortune during his lifetime with the philosophy Giving While Living.

Episode to be Named Later
Episode to be Named Later
This week Brandon and Kevin talk about the book "10 Innings at Wrigley", about a legendary baseball game from 1979. They go pretty deep on the book and the players highlighted in the book. If you like baseball, you are going to enjoy this trip in the Way-Back Machine. The conversation covered a lot of ground (some of which will probably appear soon in a bonus episode), so there's at least one less-than-subtle transition. Hold on to your hats!
