Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here in Madarrat's the Fresne State Homecoming Friday, and I
had to sit here this last hour watch ck you
eat his brisket and his macaroni and cheese. Not that
I couldn't have had some too, but what I've decided
is to hold off till after the show. So that
was really one of the hardest things I've done all
week long, was to watch that and for the next
two hours to sit here and smell what I'm going

(00:22):
to be enjoying after six o'clock, if you come by,
we got Fresno State swag, you can play to win.
We got football tickets as well, and tomorrow's going to
be a big old, big ol' homecoming coach temper at
halftime Ring of honor introduction and right here on all
our affiliated networks across this big old, huge Valley ten

(00:43):
thirty CKB live from Bulldogs Boulevard, and it's a blackout game.
So what you need to do is where your black
President State attire, hats, whatever else you got, and if
you don't have it, you can get it right out
there at the Valley Children Stadium. Tomorrow, CK alerted us
to pregame, will be right here on Power Talk, Fox
Sports thirteen forty AM, fourteen hundred stations all up and

(01:04):
down the valley, in the iHeartRadio app with that pregame
with coach Paul and Cam and then the kickoff at
Valley Children's daytime game against San Diego State. It's an
Old Can game. Last time that both teams will be
having the Old Can game in the Mountain West. They
both go to Pac twelve next year. It is a Friday,
We're talking football. But I gotta do something here that

(01:25):
I gotta say I probably hadn't done in a long time.
I'm gonna mit when a Democrat is correct. The photos
that I saw with the White House showed only a
small section of the East wing of the White House.
I talked about it a few days on the air.
I'm like, why are they all flipping out over this?
I even played the audio from twenty and ten when

(01:45):
Obama was doing three hundred and something million dollars of
changes to the White House, and they all acted like
it was normal and fine, and that was with taxpayer money.
And I was saying, look, Trump went out and raised
this on his own. This is coming from private don't
He's gonna build a nice ballroom that the White House
doesn't done. And the picture that I saw showed just

(02:05):
a tiny little section of the East wing would even
be affected by this. I played you the words of
President Trump saying it's not even gonna touch. That's why
he was saying it wasn't even So I'm picturing a
ballroom off to the side that's not gonna touch the
White House, so it wouldn't be Why are you talking
about damage going on? Low and ball hole? Last night?

(02:28):
My YouTube knew I'd want to know about this. So
I see a little link on there to David Murr
ABC News destruction at the White House. I said, let
me go see what this liberal ABC network guys talking about.
I clicked on it. I hadn't seen the updated pictures.
I thought he would prove my point and make them
seem crazy. It looked like putin bomb the White House.

(02:49):
Overhead bombs had been dropped down. It looked exactly the
East Wing guys is gone. Go look it's gone. If
it weren't, if we didn't have AI, you would have
Hollywood for ducers out there filming that for the future
movies about the White House being bombed. That's exactly what
it looked like. Go look at this. I'm not kidding you.
It is it's not there. And then I saw the

(03:12):
Caroline Levitt Press secretary for the first time, looking fluster.
How do you defend something that everybody can see with
their own eyes look like putin bombed? Wait wait, you
said it was gonna be just a small Well, we're
going to have fancy dinners and we're gonna be dancing
out there. I'll tell you what's gonna happen. The next
Democrat that comes along, we'll probably tear it down. They're

(03:33):
gonna be dancing in the trunk. They'll call it the
Trump Ballroom. Well, I don't understand, I really don't. I
it's not what I was told that was gonna happen.
It's not what a lot of people would tell it
was gonna happen. And I rent a house. Can you
imagine if I told my landlord, hey, do you mind
if I do a little change on the back patio
back here, so I'm even really gonna touch the house,

(03:54):
just a small and I dream a little bit. Look,
just this much is gonna be affected me drops by
see how the work's going, and what you took out
the dining room. No, look that you can't now, that's
me writting it. Imagine if it was loan to me,
loan for me to live in and I went and
made those kind of changes. The President said, it's his

(04:17):
own money, it's outside private sponsorship. The Democrat Party was
saying he's demolishing it, and I'm like, look at them,
just still overreacting. They're not overreacting. He did it. I
saw it. I saw that relay right out there. Man,
I tell you, it looks like, yeah, a bomb took
out the East Wing. Well, he said, it's a small

(04:39):
entrance in a cloakroom area. The East Wing is. It
was built Teddy Roosevelt built it as a little small entrance,
I guess, a place to knock your boots off from
the snow and all of that. Before he entered the
White House. In nineteen forty two, they added even a
bigger structure to cover an underground bunker. Yeah, so they
got down they said, hey, Hitler might be bombitous over here.

(05:02):
No Trump will do that. In twenty twenty five, so
they it's where the First Lady has had their offices
over the year, and it's kind of I guess it's
your tradition again. Obama spent three hundred and seventy six
million in two thousand and ten. So if you haven't
seen it right now, just do a little Google search
if you think I'm overreacting. Now, will the ballroom be beautiful?

(05:22):
I'm sure it will be. Trump's a builder. But is
it right? Is it right to do that to the
White House? I cause you need to keep with the
same looking structure because it's kind of high. On the
left side. You got the west wing, kind of dips down,
then you got the beautiful white House in the middle.
Then it kind of dips down then goes up a
little more on the right for the for the east wing.
And now it's gonna look like I just described. But

(05:44):
on the right hand side with the east wing, looks
like something like a high school gymnasium is going to
be put up. It's bigger, it's taller than the rest
of this. Okay, well, it's already been done. There's no
light saying we're gonna go back and we're gonna change
all of this. I let's say one hundred and thirty
million dollars Trump got to cover the military pay. I

(06:08):
just found this out. I have well, one son in
the Air Force still another one that's out, but he's
still being paid for six months because it's the process
of getting out, and they weren't going to be getting
their money. And then suddenly, oh, it looks like the
government did find some kind of unused research fund to
cover the salaries. But did you know that's not what happened.
President Trump said yesterday that a wealthy private donor provided

(06:32):
one hundred and thirty million dollars to the government to
cover the shortfall in the military salaries because of this. Now,
what are we twenty five days shutdown? President praised the
wealthy donor, said he's a patriot, said he's a friend
of mine. He didn't name who it was. So you
had somebody in America, obviously a wealthy, wealthy person call

(06:55):
out the president and say, mister President, I want to
contribute the money because of the shut down, because I
love the military and I love the country. One person
paid to have the military paid, I think we can
say that's a country that is not taking care of
their checkbook correctly. It is these Democrats and these Republicans.

(07:16):
I'm blaming both parties for this continuing resolution it's the
kicking the can down the road. We don't live this
way in our life. If we do, we go bankrupt
or debtors prison. That's what happens when out here in
the real world, when we act that way. When I
hear Speaker Johnson and President Trump talking about this is
a clean resolution, the same one that everybody yeah, the

(07:37):
same mistakes that you've made for the last thirty times
with these continuing resolutions. What it is, it's stopgap funding
just to get by. It's like calling up your credit
card company and going, hey, I'm still spending like a
madman out here, and I'm way in debt, but can
you raise my credit limit just a little bit more?
And they've done that thirty times and they want to

(07:58):
act at like that's a good thing to do. Both
parties have been in this debt orgy as well. I'll
just say, as long as I've been bathing on this planet,
out here in the real world, we cannot behave that way.
So our government is such a messed up place right
now that you had to have a single American come
out the pocket to knock at one hundred and thirty

(08:19):
million dollars to cover the military President Trump came out today.
I guess he's upset over a commercial, and rightfully so.
But I don't know if I would terminate all trade
negotiations with the country over. President Trump terminated all trade
negotiations with Canada, posting, America will not be bullied any longer.

(08:41):
What did oh Canada do? Right now? Let's see, they
put out a commercial that had a fake fake Ronald Reagan.
Well it wasn't ai, but they use his quote. They
faked his quote saying President Reagan was talking negatively about tariffs.
The ad was for seventy five million dollars that they

(09:03):
put out to run all across America. President Trump said
they only did this interfere with the decision of the
Supreme Court, President posting and again in all caps that
means extra. You know that, he said tariffs are very
important to the national security and economy of the USA.
Based on their behavior, meaning Canada, all trade negotiations with

(09:25):
Canada are hereby terminated. Thank you for attention to this matter,
President Trump. Well what happened? Well, he said, they got
they cheated, and they got caught. They took at that
big ad by saying Ronald Reagan did not like tariffs.
Now you got the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation learning that

(09:45):
the Canadian government used that ad campaign, and they sent
out the one that actually showed President Reagan delivering his
radio address to the nation in nineteen eighty seven. And yeah,
they lied, he did not say that at all. They said,
the Reagan Presidential Foundation is reviewing its legal options in
this matter. And they encourage people to watch President Reagan's

(10:06):
unedited video and they even threw it up on YouTube.
So yeah, I guess I got a couple negatives with
President Trump going on. Now I don't understand. Maybe you
know what, Hey, maybe I'll see the finished product and go, wow,
that is gorgeous. I was wrong back at the end
of October when I said that it could be. It
just looks real bad right now. Really looks to be

(10:27):
like what the Democrat media is. I won't even use
the word squawking this time. I'll use talking, because it's
it's reality. Inflation did come in below market expectations for
last month. I guess that would be well, yeah, of
course it's not. I guess it is good news for
single people, good for families. They said. Inflation remained steady

(10:49):
since President Trump took office averaging two point five percent
compared to during Joe Bidens administration, it was five percent. Inflation,
gas prices have dropped almost eight percent since the president
took office, their lowest average level in more than four years.
That is, unless you live here in California, where we

(11:10):
pay some of the highest in the nation. Man, just
think of all these drill baby drill jobs that are
up and down this valley right now. Think of Think
how many young men and women that could be getting
off work, working a hard week. They're making a ninety
three thousand dollars a year with a couple hours of
overtime that they're putting in each month, and they're so

(11:32):
happy to get home and take that hot shower. Man,
got a great job, great career, getting ready tomorrow to
go to the football game. But those jobs don't exist here.
And think how much they are needed here, and think
how much it would help everything and buy everything. I mean,
just I was talking to Ck going in our supply
chain in America. I was watching all the produce coming

(11:55):
in here to the butcher box, butcher boss watching it all,
and I'm thinking, man, every day, even to smaller places
right out here, on Highway forty one. It's a constant
flow of produce and products that move across this country.
And when energy is high, when gas is high, we
all pay for that. So if we could drill, baby,

(12:17):
drill right here in this valley, I mean down in
the South Valley as well, we have so much sitting
right underneath us here. We got a lot of oil
that we could fill that oilcan trophy up with. That's
what's gonna be happening tomorrow for Osnel State. It's gonna
be taken on San Diego State for the oil can trophy.
One more win for Resnel State gets to a bowl game.

(12:39):
And c K was saying, even if okay, okay, they
could lose them, or if they did, it doesn't mean
it's over. You would still have to have some other
teams come and beat some like Boise in San Diego.
But let's don't think that way. This is the most
important two week stretch of this twenty twenty five season,
the debut year for coach Matt Inz, and he's going

(13:01):
with E. J. Warner. A lot of people were questioning
that after the big loss of Nevada and his touch
and his interceptions and fumbles as well, but the coach
is sticking with him. And when a coach sticks with
a quarterback, he's not looking at the stats all the time.
He feels, he feels the team. He knows that the
other players look up to and respect the quarterback as

(13:22):
the leader. So we'll leave it up to coach Ince.
It is a blackout where that means we're black tomorrow.
The game's at twelve thirty ten thirty tomorrow morning. C
K starts at Bulldog Boulevard and they got the pregame
at eleven thirty in Jeff Tefford. Coach Tefford's halftime ring
of honor and Dutch will be happening as well. Whoo.
So come on now, we got some President State swag.

(13:44):
It's a Trevor Nation Presido State Friday home Coming all
over the place tour. We're live out here at the
Butcher Boss. That's one eleven fifty six. Put that in
your GPS. One eleven fifty six Highway forty one, just
north the Valley Children's Hospital in Madera. I've just become
an amateur smoker. My neighbor Justin gave me his old

(14:04):
smoker and he's like a try Tip Champion winner, big
old metal thing. He had season for probably like eight
seasons there, And that's mine and I've done it a
few times and I can tell you it's a lot
of paying attention to it as well. It's not the
set it in forget it pelic kind now that they have.
It's more of a hobby you have to all day
kind of come out and check it. But I was

(14:27):
over there talking with Mark, the owner of the Butcher Boss.
We're gonna talk to him next, but I was asking
him how he checks it in his temperature. He said
he's got the skill of those gloved up hands and
if the pinky goes right down into it, he can
feel by touch and text her. He knows when it's
at one hundred and ninety. He knows when it is.
And I even saw am I giving away a trade

(14:47):
secret a two liter of Coca cola over there. I
was like, he goes, I drink it sometimes. Yeah, I
might pour it on there a few times as well.
So he's not gonna give us all the recipes, but
I tell you what, I have quite an interest in it.
So we'll talk to him coming up next. Here on
the show story following up from yesterday, Fresno police said
he believe that guy that was shot at Manchester. I

(15:07):
guess it's not the mall so much anymore. It's a
Manchester Center. They got a lot going on there. They
even have like late night college courses for people they're
finding out here. This happened Wednesday, right before eight o'clock
at night, and they said it was a targeted attack.
According to shot spotter, they found a victim about twenty
five years old. He was inside the Manchester Center. He'd

(15:29):
been shot in the upper left leg. He's stable been released,
but they said the shooting was not a random act
of violence at stemmed from an earlier argument between this
dude and another guy. And then that other guy came
back to the mall with two other guys. A physical
altercation broke out, and so did gunfire, and he got
shot and he ran inside the mall. So it happened

(15:51):
in the back parking lot of the mall. This story,
Highway patrol said driver over twice the legal alcohol limit.
He crash into a power pole, and they said only
minor injuries. Twice the legal alcohol limit. And what they
said happened was even though he was over twice the limit.

(16:12):
He had enough smarts to stay inside the car because
if you hit a power pole and it did, it
cause the power lines to fall across his car and
the road. If that drunk dude had stepped out of
that car, he wouldn't be alive. He guessed maybe he
was too drunk and stayed in because he was drunk.
I don't know, but he stayed inside until first responders

(16:33):
got there and PGEN had to shut off the power
because those live wires can be deadly and you can
see a little montage of that on YouTube. They don't
show people sizzling to death, but you can tell they
lost their lives here. This was a scary situation yesterday.
While I'm on the on the gun story here, Clovis

(16:56):
High had a lockdown yesterday. They got a shooting threat
and they lifted it after everybody went through law enforcement
did did a search, the campus was secure. They said
the threat was not legitimate. They lifted the lockdown at
ten forty eight yesterday morning. Following this, they said, it's
the swatting stuff that goes on. We've heard about these
across the country where calls come in. Sometimes it's famous people.

(17:18):
I know Alex Jones and his Info War staff in
Texas had problems with the swatting as well, And think
what this does to people's minds, their brains. These kids, man,
I'm so glad that when I was in school, I
never once sat there and thought it somebody gonna come
shoot up the school. Because when that happens, the calls
have to go out, They got to go into lockdown

(17:39):
mode and people are thinking about having their life threatening
right there. The anxiety with the kids and the teachers
and all of that just wrong. You would think hopefully
we could track them, but they're even say a lot
of these come from overseas and a lot of them
are really untraceable as well. The Club Unified superintendent core

(18:00):
And Fulmer said, our students and staff experience fear quite upheaval.
These types of calls and threats could not be tolerated.
They should be held accountable, Yeah, they should. What we
do is we catch one on, we need to have
a public execution and nobody else would be doing it
anymore for what they're actually putting people through. If you
want to be put through, some excellent food in your mouth,

(18:22):
this is definitely the place to do it? Do I
see some game winners here? Let's see. I always say magic.
What's the name of the game, not Planko? Planco. All right, guys,
step up, man, step up? Have you ever played Planko before?
All right, step on up? Got four youngins right here.
I can tell who's the oldest, who's the next by height? Right,

(18:43):
hey' that's the way to do it. They had the
girl last. If you had the girl first, she would
have helped take care of all of them though, right, Hey,
that's all right, big brothers to protect. All right, drop
it down, let's go do we got a winter Winter
Winter Winter Winter? Not quite. I think the I think
the little ladies winner on the first one, young man?
Step up here? Picked you out of hat a shirt,

(19:06):

kidding right here, whatever you would like. Hey, all right,
we got another winner. Look at this. What's your name?
What's your name? Ezra, Ezra? Congratulations? Hey, yeah, that'll fit
you in a few years. Mom might be borrowing that

(19:27):
over the next year as well. What's your sister's name, Sally?
Did she win two? Two in a row? Is this
hasn't happened all day long? Just Sally? Is that her name?
Am I saying that?

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Come on up, pick out something? How old is she? Four?
All right, we'll let brother pick out something. Hey, this
could be if this family hits four in a row.
Big brother didn't win a look at that the little
did he play? Did he get to play? Okay? What
would you like? Would you like a hat? Or would
you like that thing to put around your neck and
you could things on it? Or you could whip your

(20:03):
brothers with it when they come in your room. Got
a key chain? Look it's got the bulldog on. You
want that one? All right? You enjoyed that? Thank you?
You're welcome. Can you say? Go? Dogs?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Go down there?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
It is all right. That's the way. That's the way
it's done. It's a Trevor Nation for usno State Friday
homecoming all over the place too. We're live at Butcher
Boss one eleven fifty six Highway forty one, just north
of Valley Children's Hospital, right here in Maderk. But right now,
I got the man responsible for all the odors around here,
Mark Evasion. And that's a compliment, sir. You've got quite

(20:43):
a business here, and you know everybody flies up forty one.
They see a motor home store, some automotive places. You
are right here in the Rolling Hills shopping little SkyPark development,
and there's it's quite a unique. It's all modern, it's
all leak looking. But when you're in there, you almost
feel like you're walking around a store in Italy or something.

(21:05):
It doesn't feel American. You know what I mean by that?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I got you a little bit. Yeah, it's because we have.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Some I guess the produce spread out, it doesn't look
normal American grocery stores.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Well, we got a little bit of a variety for everybody.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
And I saw all those big old slabs of meat.
Cattle's been going up. I heard President Trump saying we're
going to get some from I guess South America or
coming up. Has there been any stoppage in any kind
of supply at all, because it's been a drop off
in cattle.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
There's definitely a drop, But we have no problem sourcing,
you know. It's just that the prices they have been up,
and they've been up for a while.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
And they're saying now it'd probably take a couple of
years for the cattle to grow back across because there's
a lot of drought as well. Happened. I see that
you have some of that. I saw a ribi and
it said dry age. Explain what the craftsmanship and all
of that that you put into.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
This, Yes, sir, So with the dry age beef, it's
really to tenderize it, to give it more of that flavor.
And that's one of the things that we do here
that's definitely unique is when I take home a steak.
I love to eat a ribbi that has like filly
tenderness to it, you know. So what we do is

(22:19):
we hang that I age it in there. Around twenty
eight days is going to give that process enough time
to work its way clearly where I feel that the
tenderness will reach the full point of where you want it,
and beyond that you're gonna just develop more of that
nutty flavor from the dry age meat.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Twenty something days, it's inspector.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, twenty eight days is pretty normal for what we do.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Is that normally, like the ribbis and the steak shirt,
do you do that within the try tip and the
briskets as well.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
I've dry age to try tip before.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
I have a few customers and they will come to
me and they specifically ask for it. So if somebody
asked me and they want a dry age, try tip,
I definitely do it.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Mark, how'd you get in the meat?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Oh? My god, it's been my whole life.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
So when I was a kid, my dad he was
over there at the meat market on Alluvial. That was
you know, that was our family store. And he would
just take me with him to work, and he just
my first job. Honestly, it was the candy rack. So
how hell were you?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's like nine years old.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
And so what he would do, he'd go, he'd take me,
you know, either earlier in the morning or we'd go
on Sunday or we're closed, and he would do his thing.
But he'd say, okay, son, so you arrange this candy
rack and the payment is going to be whatever candy
you want that day.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
So that's that's how I started.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Dad, I want that rabbi back there at.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
The time, you know, I mean when you're nine years old, Yeah,
you're going to take the twigs bar anything.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
So it's in your family blood and all of this. Well,
may I ask, is your father's still with us? No?

Speaker 2 (23:54):
So he passed in like twenty seventeen.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well, he'd be proud of this store.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Oh, I know he would.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, and he's on. Do you remember as a kid,
especially maybe more as a teenager where he would start
to show you how to smoke it all and do
all of that, or what age did you learn to
grill the grill master? Oh?

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Okay. So my dad at home, he barbecue almost every night.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
And so when I was maybe twelve, he's telling me, okay,
go out there. I got these New York steaks. We're
making dinner. You know, your mother and your sister were.
I'm gonna have you flip the meat and I'm gonna
teach you how to do it. So he teaches me
that at home with you know, things that are pretty easy,
like a New York steak, and then it kind of
starts to evolve, you know, through the job because these

(24:37):
are days where we're doing tons of catering. And he
brought in guys like Paul Pearson to help run his catering.
And so I'm just watching everything that's going on around us.
And he had a great group of guys and they
really know what they were doing. So and one thing
about Chef Paul, he would pull me in there if
he saw me not doing anything in my hands. He
would say, Marcus, I need you to get busy, get

(24:59):
over here and help me with this. So I would
watch whatever those guys were doing and I would just
soak up game.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
And I just learned.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Well that's how. Now. When I was over there talking
to him by his grill, you said you can tell
by touch when something, because I just started to learn
to smoke and knowing how to keep that temperature right.
And I ask you how you do it? Goo, My
temperature is broken. I know how to I know how
to roll. But you have that one that you pop
into the meat that you can tell too, is right?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
I mean obviously we have our instant read thermometers and
we have all the all the proper equipment.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
But it's a feel thing for you. You know that
since a kid too, right.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, So for me when I'm barbecuing, when I'm doing
the try tip, honestly, I know the minute that I'm
flipping it how how cooked it.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Is or just by kind of squishing it. I know
when it's medium rare.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
I know when it's when it's exactly where it's at
in that cooking stage. And even on the briskets, those
it's more I'm just kind of tracking how hot that
I've kept that smoker and and basically the duration of
time that it's been in there, and the people that
we have doing this with us on our team. I mean,
everybody's really great. Like I have Akins out here. He's

(26:10):
the man that a lot of people will see flipping
the meat and he's just great. He knows his stuff too.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
So and you can see it cooking right off the
access road right here. I mean it's right up there.
I bet you drive all these businesses crazy, depending how
the wind's blowing out here. Well.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, And I mean it's like when you ask me
in the beginning, like, we're you nervous when you started,
Like how'd you know?

Speaker 2 (26:29):
You know this and that?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
And honestly, the only marketing that I did when we started,
I felt like I was sending smoke signals, you know,
And that's literally what it was.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
That's the best advertisement that you can do is with
the nostrils when you're talking about food.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, And I'd have all my first customers they came
up and they go, well, we saw you guys barbecuing.
But I'd live a mile down the road, but we
could smell this meat cooking, and I just I've been
trying to figure out where it's coming from. And I
just I saw the smoke and I'm like, yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
They follow the smell. That's one way to do it.
And I bet you is well, Mark, Well, you sell
the meat and a lot of people like myself, I'm
just brand new at it. But it's an art form
that you have to learn, and it's almost like a
hobby on a Saturday to smoke. I bet you give
advice as well. People have questions, right.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Oh yeah all day long, man, I'll tell here.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yeah, and these days it makes it a lot when
you're trying to get into it. You have pellet smokers,
you have these Wi Fi thermometers, so it's not as
much of a smart phone apps exactly. People got this
on their phone. They the learning curves a lot shorter nowadays.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah. Well he gives out the advice. He's got some
good meat, you got chicken, you got vegetables, and even
some can good grocery short stuff in here. I bet
that helped with all this growth out here in these neighborhoods.
It's just amazing. Well, you've seen it, you're experiencing it
as well. Mark, how late are you open when people
get off work and might want to pick something.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Up on the way, So we close at six o'clock.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
All right, we'll be round here till then. So we're
here till closing. Man, that's what it is. One eleven
fifty six Highway forty one, just north of Valley Children's
Hospital here in Madera. It is the Butcher Boss, Mark
of Asian. Thank you, sir, and thank you for the smells.
And I'm gonna eat my food when I'm done because
I can't work, and that's too valuable to not just

(28:16):
one hundred percent focus.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
On Yeah, you can't work hunger either of y'all.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
No, well, I'm good. I had two grilled cheeses at
eleven to plan for this food I wanted to come in,
not full whatsoever. Mark, Thank you man. I appreciate appreciate
you having us out here. It's a Trevor Nation Frezel
State home Coming all over the Place tour. We're going
to talk with the voice of Fresdol State Athletics, Paul Leffler.
He's going to join us next live at the Butcher
Boss one eleven fifty six Highway forty one, just north

(28:43):
of Valley Children's Hospital here in Madera, smel it is.
I'll ask Paul Leffler's nostrils opinion.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Welcome, sir, My nostrils opinion is that's how I found
the place. You know, usually, if I'm on this stretch
of forty one, I'm going up to Yosemite or the
foothills or something. You know, I'm gonna go up to
Avenue fifteen. So I haven't explored this little frontage of
the forty one too much. I wasn't sure where I
was going, But once I smelled that grill, I knew.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Exactly where I was going.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Thank you for coming. You head up forty one, you
hit Avenue twelve, you hang a left. You'll hear diesel
trucks in the parking lot. Hang a left on Avenue twelve,
and then it's your first left right there on that
side access road. You come back down and it's on
your right hand side. They got the coolest thrift store
over here. It looks like you could be on Fifth
Avenue in New York City. It's a fancy thrift store

(29:32):
over here.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
You know, there's a lot of stuff up and at
Bonner Marines right down here. I actually got off on
Avenue nine, you know, by Children's Hospital, then took it
up here, and oh you didnue Okay, yeah I didn't.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
I didn't backtrack like you did.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
I always faster GPS, that's who I follow.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
But yeah, you go up a little further. I mean,
there's all kinds of stuff up here. You got the
Buenavista event Center. Our friend Kevin Foster, who I heard
on your show yesterday.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I was doing a great job with that. Look what
I had written down right there. Look keV Foster and
pen I was gonna thank you for recommending him to me.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
He's everywhere.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Good sorrow is hoppening across the way. Yeah, this is
a part of our community is really growing.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
I used to say as a kid, mom, dad, why
are there no new towns or cities being built? I
couldn't understand that, but I've got to see one in
my adult life. Up here. You just mentioned they have
a fire department, Now, doctors, dentist. Somebody should move there
and become mayor. Right are they got incorporate?

Speaker 5 (30:26):
Maybe you can start your campaign right now there.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
It is. I've always wanted to be a dictator. Don't
scare us like that.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
Trivin.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Hey, if it's good stuff, a dictator's good I think
I don't know. You're not going to go that.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
I I don't think well this, I don't. I don't
go political, even though you're a political show. But if
you're a dictator, I think that flies in the face
of the freedom that all our veterans have fought for.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
No matter whether we think your.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Ideas are, I know exactly what I'm doing. I want
to be the king. Everything I say goes. Yes, Well,
if everything that we want to have go this is
probably the most crucial two weeks of the season that
we're headed into. Now. Wasn't that Bye? Did that seem
extra long to you or not? Are you just so
busy it didn't? It seems no.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
I had too much going on for it just seem
too long.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
But I think for the players it felt really long
the way they came off that loss, because that was unexpected.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
It's not who they are.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Tomorrow afternoon, twelve thirty kick is an opportunity for them
to demonstrate that that's not.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
Who they really are.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, And I guess it's injury wise. I guess that's
the upside to the two week bye. People can get
healthy because we see them out there running and maybe
it's not on the injury part. Maybe they hadn't said
anything yet to the You know, they keep a lot
of secrets of their body gets them time to heal.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
I know after I do the backyard sometimes with that
weed it takes me two days, so I understand what
they go through.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
I'm still feeling yesterday morning's basketball game a I can
identify with.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Have you done he swimming in the lake.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
It's been a little too chilly late.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Okay, haven't busted out the wet suit yet, but when
one of our basketball buddies and our lake swim buddies
is heading to Australia said he'd swim with us next
week if we make it to the Great Barrier Reef
with them. I don't know if I want to swim
out there. There's a lot of sharks.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
I would not get any Well, we've had this conversation
in the lake. You don't even know what's underneath you.
You just don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
I'll take my chances with the rattlers at Millerton before
the sharks and Pusiland Oh.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Oh snake have you seen one coming at you on
the top of the water real quick? How they do
that when you're out there, Have you seen one? I've
seen a couple and you still get back in there.
You are brave. You should be out there playing for
the oil can tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
We're a lot bigger than they are.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, okay, you keep messing around with that. When it
got eve, it can get Paul, boy, I tell you
gotta be careful. You know, Paul, if you know before
the season started, if you said at the end of
October homecoming, we'll be five and two, two and one
in the Mountain West, we wouldn't go oh boo, right,
we wouldn't be booing No.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
Not at all.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Context is everything, and this is the biggest game of
the year. I mean, they haven't lost at home yet.
It's a rivalry game with the trophy on the line.
You're honoring one of your all time greats, Jeff Tedford's
so great to hang out with coach and his wife
Donna last night. Phenomenal time. He's gonna have even better
time tomorrow. So many former Bulldogs are going to be
their homecoming, got all that going on, But in the

(33:22):
big picture, you win this game. You have a realistic
chance of making the Mountain West Championship game. If you
don't win tomorrow, you probably don't.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
I've asked you this before. You grew up here in
the valley, right, did.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
You so center of the universe when it was lost Spantas, California?

Speaker 1 (33:40):
When it was quarterback ted Laugh? I'm not okay, I'm
from Union City, Tennessee. You have come on when it
was quarterback Jeff Tedford, you were what like junior high
or younger?

Speaker 5 (33:55):
A little younger.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
So when he had his epic comeback in the California
Bowl in nineteen eighty two, was a whopping six years old.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Do you have any memory? Probably not. That's you know.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Who really got me into bulldog football was the guy
who came right after him, Kevin Sweeney. I remember hearing
on the radio some of those games, Bill Woodward and
John Andabo describing this guy who's going to break Doug
Flutie's all time NCAA record, And Doug had just set
that record.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
I said, somebody from here is going to break the record.
That was such a big deal. And he did.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
And now, of course it's been broken a few more times,
but that was a magical time here in the valley.
Jeff Tedford's the guy who got it going before that,
who the first real star quarterback of the Bulldog Stadium era,
Tough as nails, you know, waited his turn as an
assistant under Jim Sweeney, then Pat Hill even moved on
to Oregon as an offensive coordinator before he finally got

(34:47):
that head coaching break at Cal And just in the
last week he's gone in the Hall of Fame at
Cow and going in the Ring of Honor at Fresno State.
Being with him last night, hearing the gratitude that he feels,
melody and that thought of how did this happen in
my life? He's got a lot of gratitude for the
people who kind of put him on that path and

(35:08):
helped him accomplish everything that he has and what a
gift he's given our valley.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
And that will be honored at at halftime exactly as well.
And it's the old school cool. I was talking with
c K. I know it's the old logo, but the
old logo has never been on the Black Helmets, correct.
I saw that fancy video they put out that looked doll.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Most people have never seen that logo at all. Right,
it was a very obscure kind of element of bulldog history,
and I think.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
People are really liking it.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
It's get a lot in a buzz around the country,
and you know, the only thing better is to actually
win while you're wearing.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
Some people think it's great.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
I saw the video and I'm sitter charing marror. Is
it a big bulldog? Is that what it? I'm trying
to remember what it looks like.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Yeah, it's a it's a bulldog's face and he's you know,
you can see his teeth and his.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Tongue covers helmet, right, it's bigger and.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Not most of the helmet, but you know, decent portion
of the helmet. And then he's got that little sailor
hat with an F for Fresno on the side of it.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Okay, so we'll see it tomorrow's blackout game. C K said,
if you don't have it, you can. I guess they
sell things out there as well, attire that's black personnel
state of time.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Absolutely, you can go to the Kennel marketplace right now
get all kinds of blackout gear. Or if you're at
the game tomorrow, you're tailgating, walk across the street right
there to the Bulldog locker right Cedar and Barstow.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
They'll have the blackout gear there.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
But yes, if you're coming to the game tomorrow, I
know you're a Bulldog fan and you want to wear red,
but just for this one time tomorrow, for this twelve
thirty kick, wear something black and you'll add to the
effect and the intimidation factor for those visiting Aztecs, who
got to tell you, Trevor are having a really good year,
much improved. They've got a lot of momentum. Their defense
has always been good and it's just as good as ever.

(36:46):
But their offense is a lot more potent this year
than any Aztec offense I've seen for quite a while.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
I read. I don't know if this is true. You
know all the gossip with college football, did the Aztec
catch Coach lewis he doesn't call us state or the
Bulldogs that team up north. I've heard that he that's
the phrase he uses.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Which is what a lot of Bulldog fans and coaches
and people use about Boise State. So I mean it
turnabout's fair play. I mean we are north of San
Diego and Boise is north of Fresno. And that's fine.
You know, I think the goal is for Fresno State
to make somebody say the name by the end of
the game.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
All right, who you got in the Trailblazers game tonight
or they playing?

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
I'm just talking NBA betting.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Oh your time, like Golden West. Yeah, if I sell
you by the way, Sam nickname?

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Okay? Well yeah, and that's something this week. How that
that broke with the NBA. And that's sad for the
sporting world, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
It's awful Trevor and and unfortunately, I think there have
been things like that going on for a long time
that we'd rather not know about. But if they are happening,
then yeah, we need to clean it up. Because that's
the reason people watch sports is they want something unscripted.
They want the ultimate reality show. They don't want something
that's fix So if there are people that are even

(38:02):
trying to do that in any of these sports, you
have to weed that out.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, and we don't even know how far it's going
to go. And about other sports. And I was talking
earlier with Ck the nineteen nineteen Black Sox. I okay,
they needed money, they you know, they made what, four
thousand dollars a year and had to work two jobs.
I guess it's the thrill of it for these guys
because they don't need that gambling money. They assist that
