All right, so let's get rollingon this. No, but hold on,
(00:44):
hold on, hold on, holdon, Let's backtrack the last week
because I got when you didn't showup. Yeah, when I got some
attraction. So I was in thatother room. You're in my studio because
you had to take a call.Yeah. You said it was gonna be
ten minutes, and it took thewhole hour. So I apologize Radio and
LAMB, but these guys did fabricatethat I caught a table on fire and
burnt up stuff. Okay, youcaught a table coffee, burnt up food
(01:08):
and was serving burned up food.Now, let me tell y'all, your
food was a little you know,I was doing this for years, I
said, by my guiver, andI could come up and build anything out
of any situation and make it happen, right, And so I did.
I didn't have a shafing dish,which is true, but I did put
(01:29):
one of those little propane things underneathmy pan full of water with two half
pans in it, and everybody ateand was married. Now I did I
have a whole smortgage board that Kylehad, Like Kyle was running a whole
golden kerral you had, he gotgolden corral. Yes, yeah, I
have a question. Why did youhave a chafing dish? And I understand
(01:53):
because I, first off, thiswas a voluntary like set up. This
was this was a you know,it was it was a volunteer setup.
But it allowed you to showcase yourrubs and sell your rubs. So in
a way it did get paid.I'm kind of with that. The more
(02:15):
you had sold the life because Icontributed the food, I contributed my time,
I contributed my labor. I contributeda lot of things, and I'm
not usually used to going to mygreat friends of Barbecue Island and not them
already providing perfect setups. Because theydid have perfect setups for a lot of
other vendors. But we didn't havea perfect setup. We had to bring
(02:37):
all of our own stuff. Butthat was that was out of the ordinary
when Phil the Grill goes to BarbecueIsland and I love you guys Barbecue Island,
but I did not get my perfectsetup that I normally, you know,
go in and do so out ofmy own pocket. I did contribute
to the marketing plan of selling rubs, which I did. It was only
(02:59):
two left on the shelf when Ileft. It was twenty five when we
first started, and we got thatdone. But at the end of the
day, no did I did nothave a shafing dish. I did go
to Shamrock on the way in andthey didn't have shafing dishes. So I
said, you know what, I'mgonna go down there. Somebody should have
(03:20):
an extra shafing dish. When Ifound out nobody had a shah let's talk
about that phone call. He yo, you got a safing dish. Yeah.
Yeah, But but what did youtell me go to Shamrock? You
said, go to Shamrock? Yeah, yeah, I went to share.
Did you think about going to thetarget that was in the parking during the
holiday season? Look, look,did you know I think that they would
have did go to target? Iwent and I got bers. I got
a six pack of bit no twelvepack of Stellars, And at that time,
(03:45):
my shafing dish was working. Mymakeshift shafing dish, without burning tables,
without burning tablecloth, without burning foodwork. You gotta admit, you
gotta admit, you gotta admit yoursetup did work. It worked, but
it did not work well? Itworked? You did? You did have

You're because I threw everything away.It's no hole in no tablecloth. I

didn't say you served burnt food.We said the food was. The food
(04:30):
was watering. You didn't have enoughwater. You didn't have enough water.
You put water in there, butyou built your stands alide. Did the
flame evaporate on the water out?I had hands, so there was no
way anything, but the flame washigh enough that it was burning. That's
because the table cats on fire.I'm staying out of it. Yeah,

I'm gonna do my best, playlike a championship. I'm up.
I'm gonna play like a champion.Des So you got to get into top
ten? No, top seven?Yeah, okay, there how many contestants
are there? Twenty one group twentyone, twenty one. I gotta be
in the top third. You haveto be in the top seven. Why
(09:24):
isn't it not top ten? Ihave no idea. They shortened it,
so okay, top seven, topseven, this is two so this master
judges that come around and they viewyour style of cook and yeah, what
how you're doing it, what's yourmethod? What you're putting together? They
(09:45):
get to pick three contestants. Thejudges are blind judges, so they go
through in eight, three or threecome from them. That's whoa too.
They only they get to pick three, but if the three is not part
of the seven, two of themget to move up. Their top two
get to move up into that.Make that happen? Putting that that the
(10:07):
or or just the technical technical waveyou're putting together this dish because the dish
is supposed to be one uniform orone unified dish, right, so SURF
and DIRF is supposed to be justone uniform dish. It's not supposed to
be sides and this and that andyou know what I mean, So it
has to all blend together. Okay, they're going to walk around all these
(10:30):
twenty one tenths and just see whatyou're doing, like say, if you're
hanging a tomahawk or if you're Idon't know what you're hanging a lobster tail
in an hour and a half.And what's your live fire source going to
be? Uh? A weber kettle? Is that considered a live fire?
Though? Put your hand over abarrel? I get it, but I'm
saying though, but you still gowith it. I get it's a live
fire, but what's not live aboutit? Yeah? That's that's that's kind
(10:54):
of a question. Could put aSanta Maria, But why would I need
to put a Santa Maria? Isn'tit more? Don't you kind of get
greater on the presentation of the plateof the plate? So they don't.
Judges do come around, but theywant to see the show. You talking
about money. I'm going to pickthe trust and believe I'm giving them a
show. But you see what I'msaying with this, like you don't want
to see a show and you're gonnause a weber kettle like anybody can do
(11:15):
in their backyard. That is theshow. But it's the technical things that
I'm cooking on the weber cac andhow I'm doing it in that hour and
a half. Yeah, I justdon't see a bunch of people having these
because they have these live fire tablesset up Yeah, that is so so.
So that's the female So they dohave a Ladies five Women Challenge and
(11:39):
that's like the top four women inthis in the country that go and do
the live fire yeah presentation. Sothey'll be out there, you know,
and doing their thing and and heythat this is totally different. See how
twenty one people they are from allover the country are going to have live
(12:00):

(32:38):
excuse we went out. Thursday wasthe first night. Went to dinner.
We actually went to dinner in LitchfieldPark. I thought of you, I
met I met some friends because oneof the race teams stays at the Wigwam.
So we went to Old Pueblo,went Old Pueblo and had uh had
dinner, I will say, andwe had quite the experience there. I'll
(32:59):
say reunion in that place. Iwill say that they have Mexican foods,
good drinks were cold. So wewalk in and a buddy of mine,
his nickname is Doodoo because his lastname is brown and he's been full of
blank his entire lives to call himDoo Doo. So anyways, Doodoo walks
into the bar and he tries toorder a bush light from the bartender.
(33:21):
She doesn't have bush light, whichthrows him into a tizzy. We drank,
oh exactly, trust me. Wellwe've seeded to drink that place good
and dry. That night got himFriday morning, did the show Friday morning
from camp. We have a ladywho comes by who brings us Bloody Mary's.
He's Bloody Mary. She makes dude, y'all, her recipe could win
(33:42):
a world foods I'm telling you tothe when I say this. She has
a way that she infuses the vodkawith her own custom bloody Mary mix.
Oh wow, I mean these thingsare incredible, so she could probably make
a lot. She probably could,Yeah, probably, I mean she uh
(34:02):
so, I don't. She doesn'tsell it. She just does it like
it's their own, like side hobby. She does. And she she's known
as the Bloody Mary Lady out atNASCAR, I mean, and she she
brings them in. Dude, itcrushes. I mean, I am I
like Bluddy Mary's, but like Iknow those people who are not bloody Mary
fans. I'm like, just tryit. They're like, yeah, oh
my god, this seems incredible.Yeah, it's awesome. So we had
(34:22):
that. That was other Friday.That was Friday, and Friday night we
got out. We got on thegas pretty good. Friday night not too
horrible, but we definitely got onthe throttle. But Saturday, let me
explain to you. Saturday. Letme explain to you Saturday. So Saturday
morning, Saturdays is the day whereeverybody comes. Friday is kind of a
yeah good. But Saturdays, wheneverybody comes, we get race teams that
(34:45):
show up, like we had probablyhad about eighty people come roll through.
Did you have to cook for thesepeople? Yeah? So I do.
Four. I get up at likefive am, hungover as a beast,
cook four big old pork shoulders.We did mac and cheese, We did
beans, we did salad. Putit all out. I mean, good
looking spread, shape, picture rightnow, good looking spread, but the
(35:07):
drink. So I was up atfive am. Only pulled his photo of
the spread here. See it's Ihad a little spread for me being an
amateur. Oh nice, nice.So we threw down on Friday versus is
Saturday. I'm up at five am, and I'm just I'm cooking. Also,
my buddy taps me on the shoulderand I'm like what. I look
at him and he's already drinking Atfive am. I'm like, oh,
(35:29):
boy, dude, I'm the throttle. By nine am, when everybody was
kind of getting up and getting rollingwe started breakfast back or about eight,
he was already sauce. I meanhe was drinking every beer he had.
He had a drink, had aglass of moonshine with as well. So
this dude proceeds to get just rottledup three o'clock, everybody shows up.
(35:54):
He makes it about four o'clock.In between the hours of three and four
o'clock, he f two bottles offireball himself. That's yeah. Well,
let me tell you what. Heproceeds to start getting sick. I'm sure
we have to put him like inhis own little secondary in his trash can,
so we get his puke, hisguts out, pass out. He
gets alcohol poison. He didn't likeneed to go to the hospital. He
(36:19):
probably should have, but that nightwe were counted up. That night we
went through over seven hundred beers.Seven hundred beers, Yes, hust Brewing
brought out a ton of them.We drank those. It was hust Brewing
Coors Lights. I mean we wentthrough over seven hundred beers on Saturday night
alone. I mean you got tofigure we had between seventy seventy eighty people.
(36:40):
Oh yeah, but race that wasn'tstart till two o'clock. You guys
go to the races. Oh yeah, of course, So then that's what
I added even more to it.So going to the race, actually my
buddy ended up winning, which wasgreat to be there for that. It
was awesome. But Saturday with Sundaymorning though, it was like the Walking
Dead, just zombies of people,just like shells of humans walking around.
(37:04):
I was like, oh, thisis brutal. But now we had a
great time. It was awesome.It's always a good time. I didn't
think it was interesting though, itwas interesting to see the amount of people
that have bought smokers. And we'renot going to bash a brand. I'm
gonna leave that brand out. Butif you can read between the lines here,
I hope you can't. Who inthe previous years have bought a brand
(37:29):
that has sold at Costco, whonow have went out and purchased other brands
because the brands that they purchased atcostco the dang thing doesn't work anymore.
And people were like, why didmine break? I don't use it that
a few times and I'm like,well, there's a reason why. I
(37:50):
was like, it was just interesting. But then Jason Baker rolled through Saturday
night with Green Mountains. It wasgreat to see him, and it was
also great to see people who hadquestions of why their smokers broke go to
him and Jason was like, letme tell you I have a new product
coming out. That was great.So it was great to see Jason get
to talk about his product out theresome but it was awesome. Did you
have any of his gmgs out there? He he did, but I didn't.
(38:14):
He didn't. He didn't pull itout because when he got there was
a little bit later. He wasjust more or less just talking word of
mouth about it. But here wasthe coolest thing about all. They didn't
ask her this year. So there'slike seven thousand campers, eight thousand campers
that they put out there. Youfigure you got four to six people,
We got fifty thousand people camping.They built a grocery store in the middle
of the campground. The built Theybuilt a Walmart inside the camp ground.
(38:38):
And this Walmart was legit. Itwasn't big as a full size everything Walmart.
No Walmart prices. Wow, youcould get a thirty rack for nineteen
bucks. You could go in thereand be like, oh, you want
to get some vegetables. Yeah,we made pork fright, but it was
great. We made pork fried rice, so we always do on Saturday night.
(38:59):
And my buddy said that the frozenvegetables seemed like the frozen vegetables,
so he went and got some salaryand some red peppers and cut them all
up and so that I was like, that's up there. I mean,
they had a meat section, theyhad everything, which is a smaller condensed
version. But dude, it wasinsane to see this, and I thought
to myself, I was like,there's a there's a there's a market for
(39:19):
that of doing a traveling grocery storesomething like that and going to American Royal
and setting that up and being likeboom, we're here with this. You
know, we're going to big festivals, going to imagine one of those a
country thunder. You know, howmany times, how many times like that,
but there's something very there's a market, but they're always they're always marked
(39:44):
up. This was a Walmart anddo this Walmart because we weren't camp very
far from there all the time,they was semis backing and dropping stuff off.
And I was like, dude,they are selling so much or because
their price bag of ice seven poundbag ice was a dollar thirty nine waiting
gold out there, Dude, you'regoing through ice like I was going to
stop a thirty nine selling it.I was like they had everything that you
(40:06):
could want at Walmart prices, andI was like that is legit. Yeah,
I mean yeah, because I meanthink about it, right, I
mean, I know Nascar is waybigger than like the Royal, but when
you're in those type of events,you locked in. You're locked in.
Yeah, you're coming locked in.You can't. Can we prepare and bring
(40:27):
out everything? But we still havethings were I don't have the accessibility.
Oh you know, my biggest thingis food. Yes, someone a food
truck like a French fry yo foodfood. And how many how many times
bro we were at look, wewere we were at the American Royal and
we were you know, delayed,right, butday on Sunday. But I
(40:47):
was trying to drop a pin forDomino's drop every and it was Sunday night
and everything. I could have probablysold pizza pods for like fifty dollars a
pop. That's kind of what thiswas. So for example, they had
a frozen food section that had frozenpizzas in it. Yeah, granted we
(41:09):
had so much stuff, but theamount of people you saw come walking out
with a couple of yours, Iwas like, again, I was like
they thought of stuff. You know, the one thing I thought that I
was great that they had. Again, they they you really used their brain.
You know, like when you parkin RVY, you need those little
orange lego leveling blocks. Yes,they had they sold those. Wow.
See so you're like, crap,I need these. Walk in there boom.
(41:30):
They sold leveling blocks, they soldgas cans, they sold everything from
like you know, obviously camping stuff. But I mean you'd go down the
aisle and you're like, okay,uh I got upset stomach. You know,
they had pepto. They had allthat stuff that you would need out
there. I literally I think myself, I was like, there is a
market for this if you although theyagain, they had pd like, they
(41:54):
had gator rades. They had allthese different things that you're like they did.
I thought it. I was like, there is a market for this,
whether or I did'say a semi trailerthat you pull that folds out into
like a store, or you buildthese things places like dude, this would
crush because the amount of stuff theysold was wild. And again, they
(42:15):
didn't gouge you, And that waswhat It's funny the not gouging words spread
so fast because when I saw itset up up there, I was like,
oh, god, right, whatever. My neighbor I don't really know
out there, comes by, comeswalking by and he's got three thirty racks
and looks at me and goes,do they're nineteen bucks up there? And
I was like what he said,Yeah, they're not gouging you. I'm
like, no way, which causedme to walk in there and be like,
(42:37):
holy cow, they're not. AndI was like they had a line
out the door every day. That'spart. Also, they had it fast.
They took credit cards, they didit was just flawless. So that
was a cool thing. I waslike, wow, this was great.
But I mean we served it upand we had a big old feast.
I'll yesterday was I was a zombieyesterday. I know I'm better to better
(42:58):
today. But I have the Ihave one of these chairs. I've had
it for like ten years. It'slike a it's like a chair that you
sit in, but it folds allthe way back. What are those called,
Yeah, the zero gravity chair.Gravity chair. I've had it for
like and he's zero gravity. I'mit's literally probably one it's probably it's probably
ten and eleven o'clock. Food's on, you know, everything's prepped. Now
I can get a couple hours ofsleep before I have to get up,
(43:20):
wrap the food and everything. SoI go to I'm going to bed,
laid down. I snapped the wholefreaking chair, bro and like when you're
in a dead sleep, chair snapsMy heads against the ground feeder in the
air, and I'm like, likeyou have to just sit there as my
feet are in the air, andI'm just like looking around like what just
happened? And I like roll outof my chair and I'm looking I'm sleeping
(43:43):
in the restaurant. I'm looking atthe thing and it's all broke. I'm
like, screw it. So oneam, I was up, wrapped the
meats, did my whole setup.Just chill bro, watch TV, relaxed
in my boxers. But uh yeah, dude, I was dead tired after
I got I can imagine slammed it, which is good. It's good that
it's good to see that people areexcited for you guys to come. Yeah.
(44:05):
Yeah, that's awesome. And Imean because I'll give you example,
like it's it's glad to see there'sa buzz about it because they're opening a
Rudy's barbecue by my house. Nobodyreally can nobody cares and something's Rudies.
Yeah, yeah, just like becausethey look at this plaza that it's in
and I'm like, okay, I'msitting here looking at this Rudy's a crossway.
There's a Chick fil A yeah,and then there's a salad exout,
(44:27):
and then there's this, and there'sthis, there's this, and there's this
way, there's this. I'm like, there's ten things around it, and
I'm like, Rudy's is good.Again, nothing agains Rudies. I'm not
bagging Rudi's at all, but I'mlike, there's just no buzz about this
because there's so many options. Youyou're the only dog in town. And
people out there love the sport,local, love a smart small business.
Yeah, you check all the boxes. So I think you may have lightning
(44:51):
in a bottle here. So foryou, I want I want to I
want to drop a gem that Scottuh gave me in the beginning, Yeah,
that I didn't really pay too muchattention to. I was kind of
going off of a different route,but off of his decision making. He
stands behind it. He told me, he's like, hey, you know,
(45:12):
find a spot, right, finda spot where the rent is less
expensive and you know, grow.And that's kind of like what he did
with the university spot and his firstin the university. That's not a nice
neighborhood. Yeah, and not onlythat, he was the only It wasn't
like you could make up your mindlike, oh, you know what,
the longest the lines along, I'mgonna go court' right. He wasn't.
He wasn't the nicest the neighborhoods.But there's a whole lot of steel yards
(45:38):
and trucking yards, exactly, certainairports, the warehouse stuff around there that
are employant people that are hungry.That okay, great, example, where
this radio station says, yeah,yeah, there's nothing, there's nothing around
here, but you know what weheard about that place coming. We were
one of his very first customers.They were because we just hopped him one
forties screen went down there because itwas like, oh my gosh, there's
(46:00):
a great local news spot. Thatwas I remember going to the first couple
of times. But if you don'thave to wait. And then also the
word got out here was like theway but it was the excitement, right,
So it was the excitement of thenew spot coming. Right. So
when I went downtown, I waslike, Okay, well, at least
I know when I opened my doors, I'm going to have immediate customers because
I'm already in the spot that thatwas there. Then it grew up around
(46:21):
it, right, and then nowyou got choices, You got so many,
you know, different avenues. Butit's funny, and I don't mean
it in a bad way, butit's funny that you know, he was
in project with where Honey Bears wason Central and he pulled out right because
when he talked about the loan costsand everything going up, and that was
(46:44):
the problem, part of the problemwhy I closed down because after my landlord
was hit me with property tax andthis was going up and my cams were
going up, and I'm like,bro, I can't afford this, especially
with all of the different meat pricesand the labor courts and all this stuff.
So you're in a great spot.You own. You're in a smaller
town to where people are gonna supportyou. The buzz is great. So
(47:06):
I mean you're following the blueprint.You have nothing but success until I buy
the building two doors. Now,I hope you do, Seck, but
no, I think he definitely gota good thing going, which is good
for you. All Right, Sowe're gonna wrap this up today. What

All right, so let's get rollingon this. No, but hold on,
(00:44):
hold on, hold on, holdon, Let's backtrack the last week
because I got when you didn't showup. Yeah, when I got some
attraction. So I was in thatother room. You're in my studio because
you had to take a call.Yeah. You said it was gonna be
ten minutes, and it took thewhole hour. So I apologize Radio and
LAMB, but these guys did fabricatethat I caught a table on fire and
burnt up stuff. Okay, youcaught a table coffee, burnt up food
(01:08):
and was serving burned up food.Now, let me tell y'all, your
food was a little you know,I was doing this for years, I
said, by my guiver, andI could come up and build anything out
of any situation and make it happen, right, And so I did.
I didn't have a shafing dish,which is true, but I did put
(01:29):
one of those little propane things underneathmy pan full of water with two half
pans in it, and everybody ateand was married. Now I did I
have a whole smortgage board that Kylehad, Like Kyle was running a whole
golden kerral you had, he gotgolden corral. Yes, yeah, I
have a question. Why did youhave a chafing dish? And I understand
(01:53):
because I, first off, thiswas a voluntary like set up. This
was this was a you know,it was it was a volunteer setup.
But it allowed you to showcase yourrubs and sell your rubs. So in
a way it did get paid.I'm kind of with that. The more
(02:15):
you had sold the life because Icontributed the food, I contributed my time,
I contributed my labor. I contributeda lot of things, and I'm
not usually used to going to mygreat friends of Barbecue Island and not them
already providing perfect setups. Because theydid have perfect setups for a lot of
other vendors. But we didn't havea perfect setup. We had to bring
(02:37):
all of our own stuff. Butthat was that was out of the ordinary
when Phil the Grill goes to BarbecueIsland and I love you guys Barbecue Island,
but I did not get my perfectsetup that I normally, you know,
go in and do so out ofmy own pocket. I did contribute
to the marketing plan of selling rubs, which I did. It was only
(02:59):
two left on the shelf when Ileft. It was twenty five when we
first started, and we got thatdone. But at the end of the
day, no did I did nothave a shafing dish. I did go
to Shamrock on the way in andthey didn't have shafing dishes. So I
said, you know what, I'mgonna go down there. Somebody should have
(03:20):
an extra shafing dish. When Ifound out nobody had a shah let's talk
about that phone call. He yo, you got a safing dish. Yeah.
Yeah, But but what did youtell me go to Shamrock? You
said, go to Shamrock? Yeah, yeah, I went to share.
Did you think about going to thetarget that was in the parking during the
holiday season? Look, look,did you know I think that they would
have did go to target? Iwent and I got bers. I got
a six pack of bit no twelvepack of Stellars, And at that time,
(03:45):
my shafing dish was working. Mymakeshift shafing dish, without burning tables,
without burning tablecloth, without burning foodwork. You gotta admit, you
gotta admit, you gotta admit yoursetup did work. It worked, but
it did not work well? Itworked? You did? You did have
(04:10):
You did have a small table fire. Did your tablecloth not get tablecloth?
You're because I threw everything away.It's no hole in no tablecloth. I
was not putting out no fire.I was you were putting out. We
didn't say you served burnt food.We said the food was. The food
(04:30):
was watering. You didn't have enoughwater. You didn't have enough water.
You put water in there, butyou built your stands alide. Did the
flame evaporate on the water out?I had hands, so there was no
way anything, but the flame washigh enough that it was burning. That's
because the table cats on fire.I'm staying out of it. Yeah,
(04:55):
we have video evidence. If youwant to go to the tape, we
are gonna We're gonna bring the tape. So what's that. I want to
see the throw the flag, throwthe flag through the challenge flag. I
need to see the replay. Andnot only that, just because of that
fabrication, I have Hello, helloradio man. They're giving me a choppy
(05:19):
mic now too. Now keep Ikeep jingling the court watching mouth bow.
So just because of the fabrication,I do it be Since I am the
developer planner of this show. Nowright, I'm setting up all the guests
(05:40):

ten? No, top seven?Yeah, okay, there how many contestants
are there? Twenty one group twentyone, twenty one. I gotta be
in the top third. You haveto be in the top seven. Why
(09:24):
isn't it not top ten? Ihave no idea. They shortened it,
so okay, top seven, topseven, this is two so this master
judges that come around and they viewyour style of cook and yeah, what
how you're doing it, what's yourmethod? What you're putting together? They
(09:45):
get to pick three contestants. Thejudges are blind judges, so they go
through in eight, three or threecome from them. That's whoa too.
They only they get to pick three, but if the three is not part
of the seven, two of themget to move up. Their top two
get to move up into that.Make that happen? Putting that that the
(10:07):
or or just the technical technical waveyou're putting together this dish because the dish
is supposed to be one uniform orone unified dish, right, so SURF
and DIRF is supposed to be justone uniform dish. It's not supposed to
be sides and this and that andyou know what I mean, So it
has to all blend together. Okay, they're going to walk around all these
(10:30):
twenty one tenths and just see whatyou're doing, like say, if you're
hanging a tomahawk or if you're Idon't know what you're hanging a lobster tail
in an hour and a half.And what's your live fire source going to
be? Uh? A weber kettle? Is that considered a live fire?
Though? Put your hand over abarrel? I get it, but I'm
saying though, but you still gowith it. I get it's a live
fire, but what's not live aboutit? Yeah? That's that's that's kind
(10:54):
of a question. Could put aSanta Maria, But why would I need
to put a Santa Maria? Isn'tit more? Don't you kind of get
greater on the presentation of the plateof the plate? So they don't.
Judges do come around, but theywant to see the show. You talking
about money. I'm going to pickthe trust and believe I'm giving them a
show. But you see what I'msaying with this, like you don't want
to see a show and you're gonnause a weber kettle like anybody can do
(11:15):
in their backyard. That is theshow. But it's the technical things that
I'm cooking on the weber cac andhow I'm doing it in that hour and
a half. Yeah, I justdon't see a bunch of people having these
because they have these live fire tablesset up Yeah, that is so so.
So that's the female So they dohave a Ladies five Women Challenge and
(11:39):
that's like the top four women inthis in the country that go and do
the live fire yeah presentation. Sothey'll be out there, you know,

brisket is seven dollars one week,and now that's just on your menu every
day. You got to eat itand then and then next week is pork

a good thing for you. You'regonna be the only dog in town for
a while, and you can buildup lifelong clientele if you offer what they
want, and then when somebody elsedoes come in, because you know,
competition will show up potentially, andwhen it does show up, the people
(28:23):
are gonna then be like, no, we're loyal to him because he's had
this. You don't want people tobe like, well he's never offered that.

oh exactly, trust me. Wellwe've seeded to drink that place good
and dry. That night got himFriday morning, did the show Friday morning
from camp. We have a ladywho comes by who brings us Bloody Mary's.
He's Bloody Mary. She makes dude, y'all, her recipe could win
(33:42):
a world foods I'm telling you tothe when I say this. She has
a way that she infuses the vodkawith her own custom bloody Mary mix.
Oh wow, I mean these thingsare incredible, so she could probably make
a lot. She probably could,Yeah, probably, I mean she uh
(34:02):
so, I don't. She doesn'tsell it. She just does it like
it's their own, like side hobby. She does. And she she's known
as the Bloody Mary Lady out atNASCAR, I mean, and she she
brings them in. Dude, itcrushes. I mean, I am I
like Bluddy Mary's, but like Iknow those people who are not bloody Mary
fans. I'm like, just tryit. They're like, yeah, oh
my god, this seems incredible.Yeah, it's awesome. So we had
(34:22):
that. That was other Friday.That was Friday, and Friday night we
got out. We got on thegas pretty good. Friday night not too
horrible, but we definitely got onthe throttle. But Saturday, let me
explain to you. Saturday. Letme explain to you Saturday. So Saturday
morning, Saturdays is the day whereeverybody comes. Friday is kind of a
yeah good. But Saturdays, wheneverybody comes, we get race teams that
(34:45):
show up, like we had probablyhad about eighty people come roll through.
Did you have to cook for thesepeople? Yeah? So I do.
Four. I get up at likefive am, hungover as a beast,
cook four big old pork shoulders.We did mac and cheese, We did
beans, we did salad. Putit all out. I mean, good
looking spread, shape, picture rightnow, good looking spread, but the
(35:07):
drink. So I was up atfive am. Only pulled his photo of
the spread here. See it's Ihad a little spread for me being an
amateur. Oh nice, nice.So we threw down on Friday versus is
Saturday. I'm up at five am, and I'm just I'm cooking. Also,
my buddy taps me on the shoulderand I'm like what. I look
at him and he's already drinking Atfive am. I'm like, oh,
(35:29):
boy, dude, I'm the throttle. By nine am, when everybody was
kind of getting up and getting rollingwe started breakfast back or about eight,
he was already sauce. I meanhe was drinking every beer he had.
He had a drink, had aglass of moonshine with as well. So
this dude proceeds to get just rottledup three o'clock, everybody shows up.
(35:54):
He makes it about four o'clock.In between the hours of three and four
o'clock, he f two bottles offireball himself. That's yeah. Well,
let me tell you what. Heproceeds to start getting sick. I'm sure
we have to put him like inhis own little secondary in his trash can,
so we get his puke, hisguts out, pass out. He
gets alcohol poison. He didn't likeneed to go to the hospital. He
(36:19):
probably should have, but that nightwe were counted up. That night we
went through over seven hundred beers.Seven hundred beers, Yes, hust Brewing
brought out a ton of them.We drank those. It was hust Brewing
Coors Lights. I mean we wentthrough over seven hundred beers on Saturday night
alone. I mean you got tofigure we had between seventy seventy eighty people.
(36:40):
Oh yeah, but race that wasn'tstart till two o'clock. You guys
go to the races. Oh yeah, of course, So then that's what
I added even more to it.So going to the race, actually my
buddy ended up winning, which wasgreat to be there for that. It
was awesome. But Saturday with Sundaymorning though, it was like the Walking
Dead, just zombies of people,just like shells of humans walking around.
(37:04):
I was like, oh, thisis brutal. But now we had a
great time. It was awesome.It's always a good time. I didn't
think it was interesting though, itwas interesting to see the amount of people
that have bought smokers. And we'renot going to bash a brand. I'm
gonna leave that brand out. Butif you can read between the lines here,
I hope you can't. Who inthe previous years have bought a brand
(37:29):
that has sold at Costco, whonow have went out and purchased other brands
because the brands that they purchased atcostco the dang thing doesn't work anymore.
And people were like, why didmine break? I don't use it that
a few times and I'm like,well, there's a reason why. I
(37:50):
was like, it was just interesting. But then Jason Baker rolled through Saturday
night with Green Mountains. It wasgreat to see him, and it was
also great to see people who hadquestions of why their smokers broke go to
him and Jason was like, letme tell you I have a new product
coming out. That was great.So it was great to see Jason get
to talk about his product out theresome but it was awesome. Did you
have any of his gmgs out there? He he did, but I didn't.
(38:14):
He didn't. He didn't pull itout because when he got there was
a little bit later. He wasjust more or less just talking word of
mouth about it. But here wasthe coolest thing about all. They didn't
ask her this year. So there'slike seven thousand campers, eight thousand campers
that they put out there. Youfigure you got four to six people,
We got fifty thousand people camping.They built a grocery store in the middle
of the campground. The built Theybuilt a Walmart inside the camp ground.
(38:38):
And this Walmart was legit. Itwasn't big as a full size everything Walmart.
No Walmart prices. Wow, youcould get a thirty rack for nineteen
bucks. You could go in thereand be like, oh, you want
to get some vegetables. Yeah,we made pork fright, but it was
great. We made pork fried rice, so we always do on Saturday night.
(38:59):
And my buddy said that the frozenvegetables seemed like the frozen vegetables,
so he went and got some salaryand some red peppers and cut them all
up and so that I was like, that's up there. I mean,
they had a meat section, theyhad everything, which is a smaller condensed
version. But dude, it wasinsane to see this, and I thought
to myself, I was like,there's a there's a there's a market for
(39:19):
that of doing a traveling grocery storesomething like that and going to American Royal
and setting that up and being likeboom, we're here with this. You
know, we're going to big festivals, going to imagine one of those a
country thunder. You know, howmany times, how many times like that,
but there's something very there's a market, but they're always they're always marked
(39:44):
up. This was a Walmart anddo this Walmart because we weren't camp very
far from there all the time,they was semis backing and dropping stuff off.
And I was like, dude,they are selling so much or because
their price bag of ice seven poundbag ice was a dollar thirty nine waiting
gold out there, Dude, you'regoing through ice like I was going to
stop a thirty nine selling it.I was like they had everything that you
(40:06):
could want at Walmart prices, andI was like that is legit. Yeah,
I mean yeah, because I meanthink about it, right, I
mean, I know Nascar is waybigger than like the Royal, but when
you're in those type of events,you locked in. You're locked in.
Yeah, you're coming locked in.You can't. Can we prepare and bring
(40:27):
out everything? But we still havethings were I don't have the accessibility.
Oh you know, my biggest thingis food. Yes, someone a food
truck like a French fry yo foodfood. And how many how many times
bro we were at look, wewere we were at the American Royal and
we were you know, delayed,right, butday on Sunday. But I
(40:47):
was trying to drop a pin forDomino's drop every and it was Sunday night
and everything. I could have probablysold pizza pods for like fifty dollars a
pop. That's kind of what thiswas. So for example, they had
a frozen food section that had frozenpizzas in it. Yeah, granted we
(41:09):
had so much stuff, but theamount of people you saw come walking out
with a couple of yours, Iwas like, again, I was like
they thought of stuff. You know, the one thing I thought that I
was great that they had. Again, they they you really used their brain.
You know, like when you parkin RVY, you need those little
orange lego leveling blocks. Yes,they had they sold those. Wow.
See so you're like, crap,I need these. Walk in there boom.
(41:30):
They sold leveling blocks, they soldgas cans, they sold everything from
like you know, obviously camping stuff. But I mean you'd go down the
aisle and you're like, okay,uh I got upset stomach. You know,
they had pepto. They had allthat stuff that you would need out
there. I literally I think myself, I was like, there is a
market for this if you although theyagain, they had pd like, they
(41:54):
had gator rades. They had allthese different things that you're like they did.
I thought it. I was like, there is a market for this,
whether or I did'say a semi trailerthat you pull that folds out into
like a store, or you buildthese things places like dude, this would
crush because the amount of stuff theysold was wild. And again, they
(42:15):
didn't gouge you, And that waswhat It's funny the not gouging words spread
so fast because when I saw itset up up there, I was like,
oh, god, right, whatever. My neighbor I don't really know
out there, comes by, comeswalking by and he's got three thirty racks
and looks at me and goes,do they're nineteen bucks up there? And
I was like what he said,Yeah, they're not gouging you. I'm
like, no way, which causedme to walk in there and be like,
(42:37):
holy cow, they're not. AndI was like they had a line
out the door every day. That'spart. Also, they had it fast.
They took credit cards, they didit was just flawless. So that
was a cool thing. I waslike, wow, this was great.
But I mean we served it upand we had a big old feast.
I'll yesterday was I was a zombieyesterday. I know I'm better to better
(42:58):
today. But I have the Ihave one of these chairs. I've had
it for like ten years. It'slike a it's like a chair that you
sit in, but it folds allthe way back. What are those called,
Yeah, the zero gravity chair.Gravity chair. I've had it for
like and he's zero gravity. I'mit's literally probably one it's probably it's probably
ten and eleven o'clock. Food's on, you know, everything's prepped. Now
I can get a couple hours ofsleep before I have to get up,
(43:20):
wrap the food and everything. SoI go to I'm going to bed,
laid down. I snapped the wholefreaking chair, bro and like when you're
in a dead sleep, chair snapsMy heads against the ground feeder in the
air, and I'm like, likeyou have to just sit there as my
feet are in the air, andI'm just like looking around like what just
happened? And I like roll outof my chair and I'm looking I'm sleeping
(43:43):
in the restaurant. I'm looking atthe thing and it's all broke. I'm
like, screw it. So oneam, I was up, wrapped the
meats, did my whole setup.Just chill bro, watch TV, relaxed
in my boxers. But uh yeah, dude, I was dead tired after
I got I can imagine slammed it, which is good. It's good that
it's good to see that people areexcited for you guys to come. Yeah.
(44:05):
Yeah, that's awesome. And Imean because I'll give you example,
like it's it's glad to see there'sa buzz about it because they're opening a
Rudy's barbecue by my house. Nobodyreally can nobody cares and something's Rudies.
Yeah, yeah, just like becausethey look at this plaza that it's in
and I'm like, okay, I'msitting here looking at this Rudy's a crossway.
There's a Chick fil A yeah,and then there's a salad exout,
(44:27):
and then there's this, and there'sthis, there's this, and there's this
way, there's this. I'm like, there's ten things around it, and
I'm like, Rudy's is good.Again, nothing agains Rudies. I'm not
bagging Rudi's at all, but I'mlike, there's just no buzz about this
because there's so many options. Youyou're the only dog in town. And
people out there love the sport,local, love a smart small business.
Yeah, you check all the boxes. So I think you may have lightning
(44:51):
in a bottle here. So foryou, I want I want to I
want to drop a gem that Scottuh gave me in the beginning, Yeah,
that I didn't really pay too muchattention to. I was kind of
going off of a different route,but off of his decision making. He
stands behind it. He told me, he's like, hey, you know,
(45:12):
find a spot, right, finda spot where the rent is less
expensive and you know, grow.And that's kind of like what he did
with the university spot and his firstin the university. That's not a nice
neighborhood. Yeah, and not onlythat, he was the only It wasn't
like you could make up your mindlike, oh, you know what,
the longest the lines along, I'mgonna go court' right. He wasn't.
He wasn't the nicest the neighborhoods.But there's a whole lot of steel yards
(45:38):
and trucking yards, exactly, certainairports, the warehouse stuff around there that
are employant people that are hungry.That okay, great, example, where
this radio station says, yeah,yeah, there's nothing, there's nothing around
here, but you know what weheard about that place coming. We were
one of his very first customers.They were because we just hopped him one
forties screen went down there because itwas like, oh my gosh, there's
(46:00):
a great local news spot. Thatwas I remember going to the first couple
of times. But if you don'thave to wait. And then also the
word got out here was like theway but it was the excitement, right,
So it was the excitement of thenew spot coming. Right. So
when I went downtown, I waslike, Okay, well, at least
I know when I opened my doors, I'm going to have immediate customers because
I'm already in the spot that thatwas there. Then it grew up around
(46:21):
it, right, and then nowyou got choices, You got so many,
you know, different avenues. Butit's funny, and I don't mean
it in a bad way, butit's funny that you know, he was
in project with where Honey Bears wason Central and he pulled out right because
when he talked about the loan costsand everything going up, and that was
(46:44):
the problem, part of the problemwhy I closed down because after my landlord
was hit me with property tax andthis was going up and my cams were
going up, and I'm like,bro, I can't afford this, especially
with all of the different meat pricesand the labor courts and all this stuff.
So you're in a great spot.You own. You're in a smaller
town to where people are gonna supportyou. The buzz is great. So
(47:06):
I mean you're following the blueprint.You have nothing but success until I buy
the building two doors. Now,I hope you do, Seck, but
no, I think he definitely gota good thing going, which is good
for you. All Right, Sowe're gonna wrap this up today. What
