2 Live Stews is a nationally-syndicated sports talk radio show hosted by Doug and Ryan Stewart; the show originates from WQXI in Atlanta, Georgia.

Their nicknames include The Hennessy Brothers, The Crunk Brothers, The Reebok Brothers, The Heineken Brothers, The Heavy Chevy Brothers, The SI (Sports Illustrated) Brothers, and recently The ESPN2 Brothers. They are the "Low Country's Finest"; hailing from Moncks Corner, South Carolina. The show is produced by Shaggy, a.k.a, "Samson the Pusher" (for his apparent resemblance to a stoner), and entertainment news is provided by the lovely Ms. Mary The Sports Diva.

Hitting the airwaves in 2001, brothers & bruthas Doug and Ryan Stewart have taken their hip hop style of sports talk from "the basement to the penthouse." Five years into their gig, Doug, a former mortgage lender and Ryan, a former NFL defensive back, have become Atlanta-based radio station 790 The Zone's highest-rated show. In 2004, the Stews were voted best "Air Talent of the Year" at the Sports Radio Awards presented by ESPN Radio. In 2005, The Stews signed on to do a show for ESPN2, which airs Wednesdays at 1:30am.

In October 2005, after months of negotiations, the Stews announced a deal with Radio One and Reach Media to nationally syndicate their show. Currently, the Stews can be heard in over 20 cities including Denver, Boston, Detroit, Miami, and Los Angeles.
