In this episode of What’s Cookin’ with The McLemore Boys, Travis Pastrana takes us behind the scenes of racing NASCAR trucks at Daytona, tells the legendary “hot dog suit + 200 hot dogs + no buns” story that literally became a recipe in our cookbook, and relives the intensity of running the Daytona 500.

Then we take a hard left into Idaho—where Travis, Rhiannon, and the crew built a motocross track on a mountain, jumped side-by-sides, ran crazy carts, and somehow turned it into a full-on community event.

We also hit what matters most to us: Faith, Family, Food, Fun, and Freedom—with our Verse of the Week (Hebrews 12:1–2) and a Hero of the Week honoring Travis’s dad, Robert Pastrana, a Marine who shaped Travis’s life through service and sacrifice.

on What’s Cookin’ with The McLemore Boys, we pull up a chair with Michael Linnington, the 24th CEO and President of the USO — a leader whose life has been defined by service, humility, and purpose.

Before stepping into the role on October 20, 2025, Mike served our country as a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General with 35 years of military leadership, including serving as Director of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency and Commandant of Cadets at West Point. He also previously led the Wounded Warrior Project from 2016–2024, bringing a deep understanding of what military families carry every day.

In this episode, The McLemore Boys sit down with Mike to talk about the man behind the uniform — the moments that shaped him, lessons from leadership, and why the mission of the USO matters now more than ever as America approaches its 250th birthday.
