This week on The 616 Ten, Michael sits down with Raphael Jones, chef and co-owner of Garden District.

We talk food, family, New Orleans roots, and what it means to cook in a way that makes people stop, close their eyes, and feel something. This isn’t just a conversation about what’s on the plate—it’s about memory, culture, and creating a space that feels like home.

If you love great food, real stories, and Grand Rapids culture, this one’s for you.

This episode debuts Pronunciation Station, where food words are pronounced cold—no Googling, no help, one take only. Chef Raphael Jones joins the show to referee the madness, explain what these words actually mean, and keep score as confidence spikes, accents drift, and whiskey starts influencing decisions. Then we open the phone lines.

Season 2 is officially back — and we’re coming in locked in (or as Mike calls it: SITP… Stay In The Pocket). In this premiere episode, Mike and Tony kick off 2026 with a new mindset, a few laughs, and a serious guest to set the tone for the year: Chef Raphael Jones, owner of Garden District in downtown Grand Rapids.

Manliness is under attack — not the loud, chest-thumping caricature, but the real thing: discipline, humility, courage, toughness, and the willingness to do hard things even when nobody’s watching.

Men’s health isn’t about ego anymore—it’s about ownership. In this episode of The DerrickJacobs Playbook, Derrick sits down with Dr. Dave Rosner of Remedy Hair Restoration & Medical Spa to redefine what it means for men to take care of themselves in their 40s and 50s.

Michigan cookbook author, TV personality, entrepreneur, and creator of Meals from the Mitten—Gina Ferwerda—joins BRUH just ahead of her culinary demos on the Meijer Food Stage at the Grand Rapids International Wine, Beer & Food Festival (Nov 21–22).

What happens when two friends who once lived on the edge sit down twenty years later to talk about grace, grit, and second chances?

It finally happened — BRUH is officially a weekly show, live every Wednesday at 9PM. After a few too many “we forgot to press record” moments, the crew decided it was time to turn up the consistency (and the chaos).

Episode 2: Breaking Rituals: An OCD Story

We’re officially weekly! Tony B and Mike V recap their first-ever live show, celebrate their first sponsor (Samsons Haircare from Kalamazoo), and sip local legend Stock the Bar Vodka.
