and it kind of brings out whata lot when we had our last
guess on and it was like,yo, you gotta, you know,
when you're in the area, kindof stick to what everybody else is doing
because it becomes unfamiliar. My tastescores was point on steak my done.

I couldn't. I drive on youknow, ten eight twelve hour trips
with him. I couldn't handle it. I'm double phil after the car.
I spend ninety minutes a week withhim, and that I'm done. You
Pops have had a glimpse into mylife, so I am what is the
Sioux chef, the jack Ball tradesthe mind reader. So while he's coming
(18:57):
up and he's like thinking and he'shis mind is like one hundred miles ahead
of me, and I had tocatch up. This is like on a
daily basis. So I've seen it. I've seen it in action. You've
seen an emotion, you see theaction. I will say that the people
this weekend, they were so lovely. There was so welcoming. It was
(19:18):
like it was a really great experience. It was extremely extremely cold, and
the people around us were like sogiving and you know because of course,
and Kyle, I was going toask you that was my next question.
This was my next question. Wewere there were some things we were missing,
of course, I know, sowe had to do we had to
(19:41):
make do so. But I hadto say the the host of the competition
was so well Scotty Scotty. ScottScotty like provided us with so many things,
and we did, I have tosay t s A. Yes,
we did have to have a lotof items come through T say, and
we did get We did receive alove note from TSA, so you know
(20:04):
they did comment on what was inour bin. But like it was such
a great experience. It was reallyreally cold, but so many people were
so nice and so welcoming, andit was a great experience. I will
say this, all of our competitionsit's the same. So whether it's Kyle,
it's Smitty, it's whomever it is, that like fills in the blanks.
(20:26):
It is such a great experience becauseyou're competing, but everyone is.
It's it's a family affair. Soalthough you're competitors, like whether you know
you're like your flavor profile, yourtechnique, whatever it is, that's so
similar, but it's different and it'slike it just comes out to the expertise
(20:48):
of the pitmaster and I love it. It's good. Well, you know
that's why they call it there exactly, there's that big saying sca family,
barbecue. Family, there's that wholething. Every contest, it's every he's
welcoming and everybody's I know what youI know exactly what you're saying. Everybody's
cool. It's not like it's acutthroat type deal you would see on TV
or something. It's not even likethat, not at all. And then
(21:10):
you have like the people by position, the sou chef slash wives slash teamers.
You don't get all of the love. But I'm the background person holding
up agree, Yes you are.Everybody whoever has been in our circle knows
that I'm back in the I'm likein the background holding it up right.
Oh, we know, we're wellaware. We're well aware. Do you
(21:36):
do you dress Phil? Do youdo you pick out his clothes? I
was gonna say concerning I don't thinkthe guy can sometimes dress himself. Yes,
yes, Beryl, I have myangel wings. Everyone knows that my
angel wings are always flying angel wings. I think you need a whole I
think you need a whole fleet ofangels. I mean, you know how
(21:57):
they talk about like Mother Teresa inher day, which she was like like
out of world and was like that'syou, Like you were like, what
should be up for st there shouldbe Saint Sonny the grill, Holy biscuits.
I don't know how you do it. Now, all right, since
since we're since you have the phoneright now, we need to know a
(22:17):
story of when Phil was in acompetition when you just literally not just did
a one palm into the face,just did put your head in your hands,
and what is going on? Weneed one of those stories because I
know you got an encyclopedia, thenjust give us. I think Reno would
(22:38):
have been were fighting like cats anddogs in Reno. That's one of the
first kind of mine. So perfect. Oh my god. So I have
to tell Beryl, like everyone KylePops justin h smitty Molly, everyone knows
that, like I'm so patient,Like I like, I'm that's just my
(23:00):
disposition. But in many years,we've been doing this a long time,
and every now and then has comethe time where I'm like, I am
about to kill commit murder blah blahblah blah blah. So we're in Reno
and we're and my niece, mylovely niece, and my my niece's daughters
and her husband all drove up toReno. We all like made the road
(23:23):
trip. We bought Gooch. Gooch'scousin dog was there. Yeah, it
was a great time. But however, tensions, as everyone knows that competes,
whether it's like friends, wife andhusband, whatever the case is.
You know, you have certain experiencesas the clock tics, it gets very
very tense, and it's tense whenit comes time, when it's come when
(23:45):
you know you have to box andyou know, it's just it gets very
very tense. So Phil and Iwere in the the RV. The tenses,
the tense was very high, andhis his disposition and his demeanor was
becoming very very tense, and hewas saying things. And as a wife,
I'm like, okay, I'm I'mtrying to be nice and accept that,
(24:08):
but as a human being, I'mlike, I'm about to kill this
person. So at a certain pointI had to tell him, like,
either you calm down, or we'regonna have to go behind this RB and
we're gonna have to have a discussion. Discussion was going to be I was
going to lay my hands on himbecause, as everyone knows, when you
(24:30):
come to that moment and the clockis ticking, and I get it because
he's a mad scientist. He's like, you know, making everything happen.
But at the same time, likeyou have to keep everything into perspective.
You know, it's it's tense,you're plating, You're like trying to find
the right like whether it's the rightpork pieces, the right ribs, the
right chicken, like, you know, it's just but it was a learning
experience, was that really? Itwasn't a learning experience. It was a
(24:55):
moment in time where you have torealize that your mouth can overload your ass,
my mother says, And so youhave to be as my mother would
say, So you know, youstill have to be cognizant of your counterpart.
And he had lost his mind andI was going to kill him in
Reno, but disposition. Yes,yes, the murder almost happened in Reno,
(25:26):
but we did GC, and Ialmost killed him the story. That's
what it takes fulfill the grill,the GC. My wife got to be
almost ready to kill you because atthat moment in time, you know,
there's so much on the table.You know, you're so concentrated on the
product, the cook time, thetaste, the tenderness, the appearance,
(25:47):
and it becomes so intense and youwant to make sure everything's perfect. So
emotions are heightened and you're you're,you're, you know, you're so hyper
focused on ensuring that your product isthe best sentation of who you are.
Yeah, and at that moment,you still have to be respectful all of
the fucking person next to you.So, yo, look all right,
(26:08):
that's enough, that's enough sunny talk, bro. My cut off. Yoah,
check this, but check this out. I love you guys. I'm

I just don't get that's gonna makeit tender by trimming it that way?
It was man, but have youseen this, You've seen this latest?
(32:20):
Uh, everybody doing poppers these days. Poppers is like really popping off
right now. So I'm running.I'm running. Uh. We got about
five hundred and fifty fifty poppers madeready to hit the smoker tomorrow night that
we're going to be popping off atthe restaurant, so we'll see. Speaking
of videos, did you see uhthe ig food with bare hands his uh,
(32:43):
bro, his stuff's his videos.You're not following him masterpieces? He
cooks on a GMG. He's gotan alligator, he smoking a GMG.
Twenty million views, Yeah, ofcourse, Yeah, dude, the guy.
The guy is on you know,because MG's asked me to do videos
and stuff for him, make themcontent. And I'm just like, Bro,
(33:04):
I cannot compete with the guy withbare hands. I can't do it.
Like his stuff is immaculate, Likeit's literally watching like a commercial commercial.
You know what I'm saying. Incredible. If you're not following him yet,
make sure your food with bare hands, dude, stuff is legit.
I okay. You know one thingthat I will say that it's a really
annoying me on social media that okay, I know we've we've given grief to
(33:30):
people who with flat tops that type, so I don't fill has had issues
with that, right. Yeah.What I am getting sick and tired of
is people who are trying to everybody'strying to be like the Tepanyaki chefs,
which again, that's one of thegreat things about a flat tips. You
can do that, yes, buteverybody is like throwing like you know,
(33:54):
hot oil and everything else on itand making these big fireballs over this.
I'm like, dude, these peopleare gonna blow themselves up. And they're
like, oh, you know,they make it look in these videos like
it's so easy. I'm like,no, oh, yeah, it's easy
to make a fire. Yes,I mean it's not hard to make a
fire, but they make it looksafe in those videos. And now you
(34:15):
just feel their backyards trying to dothis. And I had a buddy of
mine that was like, yeah,I'm gonna do a Tepaniaki. Ninety's like
I'm like okay, He's like you'redowne the volcano and like, well,
yeah, the volcano's not hard,like you just it's like, I can't
do it. It's not it's easy. Stack it. You put vodka in
it. You put it and Iwas it goes oh, it does its
thing. Yeah. Well he's likeyeah, but I saw this thing where
(34:36):
you knocked the volcano down onto likethis whole pool of oil and it like
flares up. I'm like, you'recreating a grease fire and he's like,
well, yeah, it burns outright. I'm like, yes, it
burns out when the oil goes away. But you talked about making a puddle
of oil and I'm like, bro, like, no, that's not gonna
(34:59):
work. Well, Like, sothat's one thing I would say is I
mean, I'm all for the flattyp for being creative, but if you
are going to be doing any ofthis Tepaniaki style and going to be doing
playing with fire and oil in alcohol, yeah not a good mix. Please
be smart. Please make sure you'renot doing it under the overhang of a
house. Make sure you don't havechildren around, Make sure you don't eat
(35:21):
your eyebrows anytime soon, Like comeon people. Yeah yeah. But so
so I'm in a county. It'scalled Panal County, right, It's not
Maricopa, it's Panal. So thereis a they do this March madness bracket.
So they get all the businesses inPanal County. I think it's over
(35:42):
five hundred businesses, maybe more.I don't know, I could be wrong.
I didn't count at all, butit's massive, this massive bracket.
So we're they asked me, theyasked us to be a part of it.
So you know, we're a partof it. So the deal is
they post they post the storefronts ofeach business and you're you're ranked you know,
one through or whatever it is,and so then you go head to
(36:02):
head with these businesses, and thepeople of social media or anybody that's online
can even give a heart for onebusiness or a thumbs up for the other
business, and you get like threeor four days and then whoever wins,
now you move on to the nextthing. So I was not aware that
we were in this in this tournament. They kind of we were already in
(36:25):
it, and then they kind ofreached out and said, hey, you're
in this tournament blah blah blah,and I was like, okay, cool,
So I kind of like checked itout and we were in the I
don't know, I think it wasthe sweet sixteen by the time he told
me, and people were just Imean, we were crushing, crushing,
crushing, crushing, and I'm likeall right, and he's like, well,
you should probably post about it anddo this and do that. And
(36:46):
I'm like, you know, I'mnot that big of a you know,
let the people speak to I don'twant to just put it out there anyways.
So we made it to the finalfour, right, and we're going
against this uh what do you callit, one of those Mexican markets,
like a Carnissiria market. Yeah.Yeah, it's like a Carnissiria. Yeah.
(37:06):
And they're posting all over the place, pumping votes, just doing this,
doing that. I'm like, ohboy, all right, So I
put out a nice friendly post.I said, hey, you know,
barbecue, you're behind barbecue fans.Please, you know, if you like
us, please give us a youknow, help us vote. Blah blah
blah blah blah. And we crushedit all the way to the championship.
(37:29):
So we were in the championship againstthe business. So the final four,
no, the final eight, thefinal eight was all businesses in Florence,
which is pretty cool. I mean, you know, because Panow County is
huge, you got all you know, it's all over the place. So
we made it to the you know, the eight, so we got to
the final four. Now we're intothe championship. We are going against a
(37:51):
business it's called the Fudge Shop andthey are absolutely fricking amazing. They make
sandwiches, they got fudge, anykind of fudge you need they got and
family, you know, family ownedoperated the whole deal. Very awesome place.
They've been there for fourteen years,massive, huge following. So we're
up against them, bro for thechampionship. So I had to put a
(38:15):
post out to get some votes andsay, look, you vote for us,
I'm gonna put something special on themenu to celebrate, you know,
if we win and bringing home achampionship and blah blah blah blah blah.
So that's that's my dilemma, right, not my dilemma, but that's how
do people vote for you? Soyou can give the photo on your Behind
(38:36):
Barbecue a thumbs up. You canclick on the original post and it's got
one hundred and ninety seven likes andloves. So as we stand right now,
it is ninety one for the Fudgshopand it is a one hundred and
seven for Year Behind Barbecue. Soyou do it. Where do you do
it again? You do it righton Facebook, right on Facebook, on
(38:59):
my page. I put a postout that said, you know, we
need you know, we made itto the championship, we need to win
this. Blah blah blah blah blah. You click on that post and you
can you can vote. But Iknow that sounds kind of bad for me
getting on here kind of promote thatyou got to do, buddy, But
first time business. I really really, really really want to win this.
(39:20):
The whole crew here, the staff, everybody wants to win this. Will
have a big celebration next week ifwe can pull this off. But we're
going against heavy hitters, bro,Like these guys are the town of Florence,
you know what I'm saying. So, but you know, and there's
also people that are like, Ican't vote, Like I'm not voting because
you guys are both amazing. Ican't I'm not voting for you. I
can't vote. So anyways, that'smy dilemma right now. We're working that
(39:45):
out right here live at the restaurant. There you go, buddy, Yes,
sir, that's your dilemma. Well, you'd be good, you'd be
safe, you survive yourself country Thunderhopefully since starting rolling through. So bro,

done a smoke fried wing before.But I can't claim that this dough is
strictly mine because well it's been donebefore. But anyways, so we don't

I couldn't. I drive on youknow, ten eight twelve hour trips

I spend ninety minutes a week withhim, and that I'm done. You
Pops have had a glimpse into mylife, so I am what is the
Sioux chef, the jack Ball tradesthe mind reader. So while he's coming
(18:57):
up and he's like thinking and he'shis mind is like one hundred miles ahead
of me, and I had tocatch up. This is like on a
daily basis. So I've seen it. I've seen it in action. You've
seen an emotion, you see theaction. I will say that the people
this weekend, they were so lovely. There was so welcoming. It was
(19:18):
like it was a really great experience. It was extremely extremely cold, and
the people around us were like sogiving and you know because of course,
and Kyle, I was going toask you that was my next question.
This was my next question. Wewere there were some things we were missing,
of course, I know, sowe had to do we had to
(19:41):
make do so. But I hadto say the the host of the competition
was so well Scotty Scotty. ScottScotty like provided us with so many things,
and we did, I have tosay t s A. Yes,
we did have to have a lotof items come through T say, and
we did get We did receive alove note from TSA, so you know
(20:04):
they did comment on what was inour bin. But like it was such
a great experience. It was reallyreally cold, but so many people were
so nice and so welcoming, andit was a great experience. I will
say this, all of our competitionsit's the same. So whether it's Kyle,
it's Smitty, it's whomever it is, that like fills in the blanks.
(20:26):
It is such a great experience becauseyou're competing, but everyone is.
It's it's a family affair. Soalthough you're competitors, like whether you know
you're like your flavor profile, yourtechnique, whatever it is, that's so
similar, but it's different and it'slike it just comes out to the expertise
(20:48):
of the pitmaster and I love it. It's good. Well, you know
that's why they call it there exactly, there's that big saying sca family,
barbecue. Family, there's that wholething. Every contest, it's every he's
welcoming and everybody's I know what youI know exactly what you're saying. Everybody's
cool. It's not like it's acutthroat type deal you would see on TV
or something. It's not even likethat, not at all. And then
(21:10):
you have like the people by position, the sou chef slash wives slash teamers.
You don't get all of the love. But I'm the background person holding
up agree, Yes you are.Everybody whoever has been in our circle knows
that I'm back in the I'm likein the background holding it up right.
Oh, we know, we're wellaware. We're well aware. Do you
(21:36):
do you dress Phil? Do youdo you pick out his clothes? I
was gonna say concerning I don't thinkthe guy can sometimes dress himself. Yes,
yes, Beryl, I have myangel wings. Everyone knows that my
angel wings are always flying angel wings. I think you need a whole I
think you need a whole fleet ofangels. I mean, you know how
(21:57):
they talk about like Mother Teresa inher day, which she was like like
out of world and was like that'syou, Like you were like, what
should be up for st there shouldbe Saint Sonny the grill, Holy biscuits.
I don't know how you do it. Now, all right, since
since we're since you have the phoneright now, we need to know a
(22:17):
story of when Phil was in acompetition when you just literally not just did
a one palm into the face,just did put your head in your hands,
and what is going on? Weneed one of those stories because I
know you got an encyclopedia, thenjust give us. I think Reno would
(22:38):
have been were fighting like cats anddogs in Reno. That's one of the
first kind of mine. So perfect. Oh my god. So I have
to tell Beryl, like everyone KylePops justin h smitty Molly, everyone knows
that, like I'm so patient,Like I like, I'm that's just my
(23:00):
disposition. But in many years,we've been doing this a long time,
and every now and then has comethe time where I'm like, I am
about to kill commit murder blah blahblah blah blah. So we're in Reno
and we're and my niece, mylovely niece, and my my niece's daughters
and her husband all drove up toReno. We all like made the road
(23:23):
trip. We bought Gooch. Gooch'scousin dog was there. Yeah, it
was a great time. But however, tensions, as everyone knows that competes,
whether it's like friends, wife andhusband, whatever the case is.
You know, you have certain experiencesas the clock tics, it gets very
very tense, and it's tense whenit comes time, when it's come when
(23:45):
you know you have to box andyou know, it's just it gets very
very tense. So Phil and Iwere in the the RV. The tenses,
the tense was very high, andhis his disposition and his demeanor was
becoming very very tense, and hewas saying things. And as a wife,
I'm like, okay, I'm I'mtrying to be nice and accept that,
(24:08):
but as a human being, I'mlike, I'm about to kill this
person. So at a certain pointI had to tell him, like,
either you calm down, or we'regonna have to go behind this RB and
we're gonna have to have a discussion. Discussion was going to be I was
going to lay my hands on himbecause, as everyone knows, when you
(24:30):
come to that moment and the clockis ticking, and I get it because
he's a mad scientist. He's like, you know, making everything happen.
But at the same time, likeyou have to keep everything into perspective.
You know, it's it's tense,you're plating, You're like trying to find
the right like whether it's the rightpork pieces, the right ribs, the
right chicken, like, you know, it's just but it was a learning
experience, was that really? Itwasn't a learning experience. It was a
(24:55):
moment in time where you have torealize that your mouth can overload your ass,
my mother says, And so youhave to be as my mother would
say, So you know, youstill have to be cognizant of your counterpart.
And he had lost his mind andI was going to kill him in
Reno, but disposition. Yes,yes, the murder almost happened in Reno,
(25:26):
but we did GC, and Ialmost killed him the story. That's
what it takes fulfill the grill,the GC. My wife got to be
almost ready to kill you because atthat moment in time, you know,
there's so much on the table.You know, you're so concentrated on the
product, the cook time, thetaste, the tenderness, the appearance,
(25:47):
and it becomes so intense and youwant to make sure everything's perfect. So
emotions are heightened and you're you're,you're, you know, you're so hyper
focused on ensuring that your product isthe best sentation of who you are.
Yeah, and at that moment,you still have to be respectful all of
the fucking person next to you.So, yo, look all right,
(26:08):

It was man, but have youseen this, You've seen this latest?
(32:20):
Uh, everybody doing poppers these days. Poppers is like really popping off
right now. So I'm running.I'm running. Uh. We got about
five hundred and fifty fifty poppers madeready to hit the smoker tomorrow night that
we're going to be popping off atthe restaurant, so we'll see. Speaking
of videos, did you see uhthe ig food with bare hands his uh,

bro, his stuff's his videos.You're not following him masterpieces? He
cooks on a GMG. He's gotan alligator, he smoking a GMG.
Twenty million views, Yeah, ofcourse, Yeah, dude, the guy.
The guy is on you know,because MG's asked me to do videos
and stuff for him, make themcontent. And I'm just like, Bro,
(33:04):
I cannot compete with the guy withbare hands. I can't do it.
Like his stuff is immaculate, Likeit's literally watching like a commercial commercial.
You know what I'm saying. Incredible. If you're not following him yet,
make sure your food with bare hands, dude, stuff is legit.
I okay. You know one thingthat I will say that it's a really
annoying me on social media that okay, I know we've we've given grief to
(33:30):
people who with flat tops that type, so I don't fill has had issues
with that, right. Yeah.What I am getting sick and tired of
is people who are trying to everybody'strying to be like the Tepanyaki chefs,
which again, that's one of thegreat things about a flat tips. You
can do that, yes, buteverybody is like throwing like you know,
(33:54):
hot oil and everything else on itand making these big fireballs over this.
I'm like, dude, these peopleare gonna blow themselves up. And they're
like, oh, you know,they make it look in these videos like
it's so easy. I'm like,no, oh, yeah, it's easy
to make a fire. Yes,I mean it's not hard to make a
fire, but they make it looksafe in those videos. And now you
(34:15):
just feel their backyards trying to dothis. And I had a buddy of
mine that was like, yeah,I'm gonna do a Tepaniaki. Ninety's like
I'm like okay, He's like you'redowne the volcano and like, well,
yeah, the volcano's not hard,like you just it's like, I can't
do it. It's not it's easy. Stack it. You put vodka in
it. You put it and Iwas it goes oh, it does its
thing. Yeah. Well he's likeyeah, but I saw this thing where
(34:36):
you knocked the volcano down onto likethis whole pool of oil and it like
flares up. I'm like, you'recreating a grease fire and he's like,
well, yeah, it burns outright. I'm like, yes, it
burns out when the oil goes away. But you talked about making a puddle
of oil and I'm like, bro, like, no, that's not gonna
(34:59):
work. Well, Like, sothat's one thing I would say is I
mean, I'm all for the flattyp for being creative, but if you
are going to be doing any ofthis Tepaniaki style and going to be doing
playing with fire and oil in alcohol, yeah not a good mix. Please
be smart. Please make sure you'renot doing it under the overhang of a
house. Make sure you don't havechildren around, Make sure you don't eat
(35:21):
your eyebrows anytime soon, Like comeon people. Yeah yeah. But so
so I'm in a county. It'scalled Panal County, right, It's not
Maricopa, it's Panal. So thereis a they do this March madness bracket.
So they get all the businesses inPanal County. I think it's over
(35:42):
five hundred businesses, maybe more.I don't know, I could be wrong.
I didn't count at all, butit's massive, this massive bracket.
So we're they asked me, theyasked us to be a part of it.
So you know, we're a partof it. So the deal is
they post they post the storefronts ofeach business and you're you're ranked you know,
one through or whatever it is,and so then you go head to
(36:02):
head with these businesses, and thepeople of social media or anybody that's online
can even give a heart for onebusiness or a thumbs up for the other
business, and you get like threeor four days and then whoever wins,
now you move on to the nextthing. So I was not aware that
we were in this in this tournament. They kind of we were already in
(36:25):
it, and then they kind ofreached out and said, hey, you're
in this tournament blah blah blah,and I was like, okay, cool,
So I kind of like checked itout and we were in the I
don't know, I think it wasthe sweet sixteen by the time he told
me, and people were just Imean, we were crushing, crushing,
crushing, crushing, and I'm likeall right, and he's like, well,
you should probably post about it anddo this and do that. And
(36:46):
I'm like, you know, I'mnot that big of a you know,
let the people speak to I don'twant to just put it out there anyways.
So we made it to the finalfour, right, and we're going
against this uh what do you callit, one of those Mexican markets,
like a Carnissiria market. Yeah.Yeah, it's like a Carnissiria. Yeah.
(37:06):
And they're posting all over the place, pumping votes, just doing this,
doing that. I'm like, ohboy, all right, So I
put out a nice friendly post.I said, hey, you know,
barbecue, you're behind barbecue fans.Please, you know, if you like
us, please give us a youknow, help us vote. Blah blah
blah blah blah. And we crushedit all the way to the championship.
(37:29):
So we were in the championship againstthe business. So the final four,
no, the final eight, thefinal eight was all businesses in Florence,
which is pretty cool. I mean, you know, because Panow County is
huge, you got all you know, it's all over the place. So
we made it to the you know, the eight, so we got to
the final four. Now we're intothe championship. We are going against a
(37:51):
business it's called the Fudge Shop andthey are absolutely fricking amazing. They make
sandwiches, they got fudge, anykind of fudge you need they got and
family, you know, family ownedoperated the whole deal. Very awesome place.
They've been there for fourteen years,massive, huge following. So we're
up against them, bro for thechampionship. So I had to put a
(38:15):
post out to get some votes andsay, look, you vote for us,
I'm gonna put something special on themenu to celebrate, you know,
if we win and bringing home achampionship and blah blah blah blah blah.
So that's that's my dilemma, right, not my dilemma, but that's how
do people vote for you? Soyou can give the photo on your Behind
(38:36):
Barbecue a thumbs up. You canclick on the original post and it's got
one hundred and ninety seven likes andloves. So as we stand right now,
it is ninety one for the Fudgshopand it is a one hundred and
seven for Year Behind Barbecue. Soyou do it. Where do you do
it again? You do it righton Facebook, right on Facebook, on
(38:59):
my page. I put a postout that said, you know, we
need you know, we made itto the championship, we need to win
this. Blah blah blah blah blah. You click on that post and you
can you can vote. But Iknow that sounds kind of bad for me
getting on here kind of promote thatyou got to do, buddy, But
first time business. I really really, really really want to win this.
(39:20):
The whole crew here, the staff, everybody wants to win this. Will
have a big celebration next week ifwe can pull this off. But we're
going against heavy hitters, bro,Like these guys are the town of Florence,
you know what I'm saying. So, but you know, and there's
also people that are like, Ican't vote, Like I'm not voting because
you guys are both amazing. Ican't I'm not voting for you. I
can't vote. So anyways, that'smy dilemma right now. We're working that
(39:45):
out right here live at the restaurant. There you go, buddy, Yes,
sir, that's your dilemma. Well, you'd be good, you'd be
safe, you survive yourself country Thunderhopefully since starting rolling through. So bro,
