Ray comes to us from Rosemount, MN and has been making music under the name Feet in the Fire since 2020. His single "Trials of Faith" has caught some attention, and we wanted to know the journey...

Long before Twin Cities Double Up was a thought and back in the days before my house burnt to the ground, I had a neighbor named Rich Da Plug. He was always great for a quick chat on the walk to the mailbox or to haul your garbage cans off the curb before you got home from work. Unfortunately, our paths diverged, and we lost touch for years, but the stars aligned, and we reconnected, and I thought...

Twin Cities Double Up jumps the border and heads to Wisconsin for the Doghouse Wrestling show in Clear Lake. Some former stars of the show stop by for an interview.

Juelz and Ailiyah charm us once again as they chi...

The Rage is back in the studio for another round on Double Up. When we last spoke, Jason Rage was just beginning to make a name for himself in the industry and still a little wet behind the ears but since then we have seen a massive transformation both physically and in general demeanor for this young psychopath. Not only this, but he has since held a title belt triumphantly over his head and is f...

We have reached the finale of our concert series as we pack up for the summer and it appears the sun is setting on the Cole Mind podcast. Another week without Cole and a whole special series void of his presence has the boys wondering if it is time to move on. A chance encounter with Yelawolf to end the night, however, keeps our hopes alive and inspires us to continue on with the podcast regardles...

Meko and Mister Brock continue their show live from Iron Heart Pro Wrestling with an interview with a Ref who gives us his take on working the business. We get commentary over the main event matches and believe we all grow a little from our deep insightful conversations.

Our favorite blood spitting, tights wearing, highflyer returns for another interview as he sits on the sideline during the Iron Heart show at TruPlayerz in Rosemount, MN.

Who does Icarus currently have beef with and what does he have lined up in the future? Tune in to find o...

This may be the most lack-luster show to date but people don't head to the John Anderson concert in nowhere Wisconsin unless they are ready to chill and escape the world. I didn't know who John Anderson was before this show and I still am not sure who he is, but it seemed like a lot of people were digging the show. It was a huge change from the Bone Thugs N Harmony concert we partook in at the ver...

Is that a cryptic title or are we just recording live from a Bone Thugs N Harmony concert? You can never tell with Twin Cities Double Up, but one thing is clear; our hearts have been broken by our star's departure from our last project. Cole, if you learned how to read and are now reading this, please come back to us! We shot this episode weeks earlier and kept it in the vault as we watched the Co...

Twin Cities Double Up needed to take it up a notch as we have been too tame in Cole's absence so this week Meko hit the streets to find a new guest that would be sure to steal the show. As always, Meko does not disappoint and brings in his longtime companion "Pops" for a trip into the Cole Mind and we become more confused than ever. Pops shares his dreams for future laws as well as explains the mi...

Some stars shine so bright that they burn out before their time. Other stars get mad and quit podcasts. While it's tough to say what type of star Cole is, we do know one thing, he is missing from this week's episode. That's right people, this is the first episode of Twin Cities Double Up where we are unable to dig deep into the mind of Cole because we lost his mind. Meko and Mister Brock had the p...

What's better than one guest? Two guests? Maybe on most podcasts but here on Twin Cities Double Up we keep our amps cranked to eleven and welcome three of the best and brightest for a fun fueled session of peacocking and shit talking.
