The brothers (who both previously ran software companies) are funding the enterprise themselves, and they serve as co-producers. They have four staffers on hand as part of their on-the-road team, including a cinematographer, an editor, and two others to help with logistics. Currently they're in talks with media companies and potential sponsors, but for now John says he's proud of the work they're doing in their own right.

So far the duo has partaken in tailgating madness in New York, Cleveland, Baltimore, Green Bay, Jacksonville and Atlanta. Already, they say their experiences have been majorly memorable.

"I'm loving the reception we're getting from fans in every city," John says. "We had some parking issues at the Atlanta game and we appealed to the folks around us and they all went to bat for us. Everybody for whatever reason welcomed us into that their community even though we just showed up that morning. Tailgating itself is so much fun, it's kind of like, what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours. You can show up empty-handed and they'll give you beer, something to eat, a tent to sit under."

John says fans in every city thus far have been incredibly hospitable, but he was particularly impressed with the reception they received in Jacksonville, in part thanks to a lot of Twitter traction. In Cleveland, they were blown away by the city's 24-hour tailgaters, who set up an entire day before the game and partied all night long. In Green Bay, the mayor gave them a private tour of the city. Each city brings new surprises.

...So let's not disappoint them with our show of Miami-style hospitality, huh folks?

"Tailgating in one city or region really is like a microcosm of what being in that city is like," John offers.

We can't wait to see what Fins' fans have in store.

Tailgate32 will be parked at Sun Life Stadium on September 23 when the Dolphins meet the Jets. While their exact spot can't be specified in advance, their 42-foot branded RV will be hard to miss. They'll have free food and booze, and if you're the ultimate tailgater, they want to talk to you, so pay 'em a visit. You can also follow the duo on Twitter and Facebook, and you can find all their videos on their website.
