The Jeep Talk Show Team!
TONY M. (Host)
Tony is the creator of the Jeep Talk Show. He originally started the show as the XJ TALK SHOW! to help promote the website http://xjtalk.com. This is a Jeep Cherokee (XJ) forum with strict rules when it comes to showing respect to others on the forum. Tony has been a HAM radio operator from the age of 16. Made General at 17 (multiple choice and Morse code test) and has stayed at this level of license since. Tony took college classes in electronics but switched to a data processing degree at the urging of a friend. Tony was born in Houston Texas and raised in Baytown Texas. Native Texan and very proud of being a Texan, and loving uniquely Texas things like Whataburger and Beaver Nuggets! Tony loves messing around with lots of interesting things for about 15 minutes before moving on to something else interesting. This podcast is a rare instance of keeping focus on something for a long time. Eleven years and counting! The Muckleroy household is home to five Jeeps. A 1998 XJ (single owner), 2003 TJ, 2001 TJ and 2005 TJ. The most recent Jeep is a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport “S” with tow package.
JOSH B. (Co-Host)
Co-host Josh Blanchard joined the team (of one) in November of 2012. Josh has experience as a for-hire DJ. Josh is an avid Jeeper, owns an XJ, and does his own modifications. Josh also does voice-over work. You can find out more about this at his site http://www.thevoiceofjosh.com/
Wendy S. (Co-Host)
Wendy has been in the off-road community for over 12 years. She and her husband Bill own a 4-door Rubicon JK with way too many modifications. She met Tony at a NEXEN Tire Jeep event where she demonstrated the innate ability to spot drivers and different vehicles through some of the most extreme obstacles. She knows how to determine the proper line for any vehicle depending on the tires, wheelbase, and width of each. She joined Tony, Josh, and Tammy on the JTS team in February 2020, shortly after that event, and developed a segment called Newbie Nuggets. Her off-road experience and ability to learn quickly have made her a great teacher and mentor to many drivers and that’s what led her to the show. Not only is she a good driver but she understands that drivers come in all stages of learning from newbies to experienced drivers and instructs accordingly. Her Newbie Nuggets segment explores her ventures and experiences of teaching, along with tips and techniques for all new drivers and new Jeep owners. You can also follow her on YouTube at Trials 411 for tips on tires, equipment, driving skills, and techniques discussed.
Chuck F. (Co-Host)
Chuck is a 6’3”, 250 lb. man who likes long walks out in the legendary, flint hills and tall grass prairies, and enjoys looking into the lovely eyes of his beautiful cougar wife while they enjoy the surreal surroundings of a life built on hard work and integrity. Chuck has dark brown hair and deep black eyes, his skin tans in the sun and he often comes home with a wonderful film of man sweet and awesomeness glistening off his body. Chuck lives on a remote cattle ranch in the flint hills of Kansas with his smokin’ hot cougar wife and two loving teenage boys. All four of the family members own and operate vintage jeeps, and they use them regularly to conduct various ranch chores and cattle round-ups. Chuck loves to spend most of his free minutes wheeling his incredibly build 1981 jeep scrambler, on and around his multi-thousand-acre ranch. Both days he gets to do this, makes all the other very hard workdays worth it. Chuck prefers to use vintage jeeps to round up cattle, build fences, and cowboy the ranch due to the ever-increasing fuel prices, and the fact that horses tend to kick people off their backs when encountering butterflies out on the range. Chuck believes in the tread lightly program and incorporates this lifestyle while conducting ranch chores. This is why Chuck chose to have two children that can get out and run after cows that are on endangered grasslands. Chuck believes in the thought that a family should stop at four members because jeeps sit four. Chuck grew up in the valley of Northern California, just at the bottom of the Eldorado foothills. And spent most of his time kneeling on his dad’s 1974 cj5 driver-side fender while wheeling the Rubicon trail, Barret Lake trail, and other various northern California 4X4 trails. Chuck’s Dad usually tried to Jeep most of the trails with his driver wheel off the ground, so Chuck, being an overzealous child was used as a counterbalance for most of the jeeping endeavors. Chuck only was injured a couple of dozen times during his childhood wheeling adventures. Chuck bought his first jeep at 18, after a head-on collision with a very small car and Chuck’s very lifted ford F-150. Chuck decided right then and there he was tired of being more-safe than the rest of the country and has owned old jeep Cj’s ever since. Chuck is a very new bystander to the internet and has only been a part of the 20th century for about a year now. Chuck found the Jeep Talk Show while on an epic journey to California, from his ranch in Kansas after his dad was diagnosed with cancer. Chuck reached out to the show and shared his journey with them and was abducted into the show days later. Chuck loves interacting with plastic jeep owners and feels that his superiority is not because of his good looks and charm, but due to the fact, that he only owns jeeps that are made of American steel…
