I have the Tribeca sauce down, did you How did you do your boil? I actually used turkey bags, so I put it. You know, I got that off of the Asian
markets, right. They do the seafood boils. They put the potatoes, the corn, the hot link in there, and then they put crab and they sell you the bag we had with the sea and then they make like a butter garlic sauce and they put it in toy restaurants. We'll do it too. Yeah, like anger crabshack. Man, I got this trivecta sauce. Who it is money? Everybody told me to bottle it, have you? Okay, so you cooked it in the bakers already cooked. No, I cooked it in the bag. But you have to do it in stages,
right, So I put I took my I took my links. I grilled them. I took my corn. I kind of grilled them halfway, right. I got my potatoes kind of boiled, and then I put them in the bag like halfway. And I put the crab like in there first for the first fifteen minutes. Then I added my shrimp, my quicker things like shrimp and lobster. I added that after like another fifteen minutes. Man, those joints. Everything came out perfectly out that bag. Everything was perfectly
cooked. Like did you have to pay like ten bags? Like how many bags? Like I'm me, I'm good for like two bags, two bags, that's one package. One package has two bags, Okay, So no, I made four bags. And then the next day I did some Jamaican because we was doing black eyed peas. We went to Smitty's house and we did that whole hog and I took Charlene's right hoof and I put it in
my black eyed Peace and I made ox tails and cabbage. Charlene was good all the way down to the last week and real quick, you guys doing that. So let's go, Kyle, what do you do for Christmas? Well, so we had a crab boil. I had a bunch of family in town. Yeah, but we did that same kind of boil. But you cooked in a home depot bought my brother. It's called a swamp bucket. Swear to dude, it's it's I don't know, you cook in a plastic bucket. Brow it's fire. I've seen this. I don't know who
create I don't know. I wish I could have created something like this. It's literally a home depot bucket. It's got a heating coil at the bottom. You fill that sucker up with water. Right, you put your cage in seasoning, you put all your stuff in there. You plug it in. Yeah, put the lid on and you let it go. The plastic bucket. Yeah, you plug the plastic bucket in. Yes, and it has a heating coil in a plastic bucket. Yes, there's no water involved.
No, there's water water. You fill it up to the mark. There's a mark on the bucket. You fill the water and the heating, put the put all your stuff in there, plug it in, let the water boil with the seasoning and and all that. Then you start dumping in your stuff, dumping in, dumping in, dumping in. It's boil and boil and boiling. Then you dump it out. Yeah, dump the juice out. It's got a little lid on it with holes. Dump the juice
out. Then you just pour that out. Oh bro, the swamp bucket because I had at your family in town and I got them one for Christmas because they love doing you know, they go camping and they do you know, they like to do different stuff. So let's see, Christmas Eve, we cooked a file at right, cooked it, grilled it up, sliced it real thin, put it on some croissant rolls with some homemade Baronet sauce.
Did you wrap it in bacon? No? No? And then I was gonna smoke a prime rib for you know, for Christmas, because everybody's in town. And my side of the family was like, no, you're not smoking anything. You're done. Oh wow. They were done with the slow so they said, we're going to do traditional. You already burned them out one. So Pops and my brother did a whole big old prime rib in the oven. We did that. So my family's in town. They
want to go check out my sister's spot. My brother's building a house. We're gonna go check out his spot. We go do the whole thing. So we're coming back and I got my shades on that. Everybody talks crap about the little metaglasses, right. These guys are like, oh man, that's so cool. I was like, yeah, because I could do my cook and I'm showing them all this. So we're driving home and I my brother's like, Kyle, do you see that? And I look and it's
a green lifted golf cart and I'm looking. I'm like, no way. So I hit the button on my glasses to right. It's in record mode. Now we go rolling up, roll down the window. He's like, yo, what's up, sugar. He turned over, gave me the piece, said Merry Christmas, and we kind of just roll. It was that two finger he said, Merry Christmas. Bro Sugar, shan O'Malley right the
USC five finally, so it was like this stocking, no stocking. But it was like a cool like like a roll by and he's like, yeah, what's up man, Merry Christmas. You think you could go to his house and ask that we're not that close yet, But there was like a there was like a moment there where we kind of just look at each other like, yo, we would definitely be pause, we would definitely be homies, like we look, I look now here on his watch last he was
getting he was getting a visual of you, gets tell a security about you. But I kind of it with his recording glasses. We didn't like stop and make it all awkward like hey, you know, it was kind of just a roll and I rolled my window the hey what's up, sugar? We just kind of into the slow little role. My cousin's flipping out because he's a massive UFC fund you lift there next to ship the shoan Sugarsh. Oh my god, he's freaking out, like I know we should get out
to take pictures. I'm like, no, let's just keep crew, keep cruise. You already took pictures. Yeah, he didn't know. No're like, damn, nobody's gonna believe me that we met Sugar on Christmas. B I was like, dude, I got my glasses on and everybody flipped out, like, oh my god, So I got this. I got this quick, little you know it's nice. I haven't posted it or anything because you have always I look at You'll be always. But let me ask you
a question. Did you get did you get did you get his permission of video tape? No? I don't care what's he go. He's a lanky little guy. But if he got me on the ground, king dude, he would he would kill you. But I think I could get one yo, did me? That's a question for the video. I ever got kicked in the face my horse? No, I got got kicked in the chest my horse one time. That's true story. Oh my gosh. Okay, So so Christmas gets over right, blah blah blah. So I had this.
This was This is a question that I have to come to you. Guys. Didn't go over it, I know, but just hold just let me just finish my Christmas thing real quick. I told you I'm going on a ramp today. So I had a post go viral on Facebook. It had and I'll show you the video later. It had one point five million views. Right, ten thousand likes, four hundred and sixty seven comments. Now, I would say a little bit more than half of the comments were
like, oh my god, looks so good. And basically this video is me with a whole poor but and I'm just shredding it. I'm just shredding the pork butt on teeth on the camera. That's it. It's a it's a ten second or less video. Right, Oh, that looks so good. Give me a bunch, give me this. I just want to read you some of the top worst comments that I have. Someone says ew, next person says, it's overcooked if you can pull the bone out. Okay, So this is what I want to talk. I mean, we must
not. I mean, okay, it's overcooked if you can pull the bone out of a pork butt, got it? No, it's yeah, Okay, you can cook that in a crock pot and get the same smoke. Ring. I'm not impressed. You could cook it in a crackpot and get the same smoke that's what he says. Well, I mean you could cook it. Yeah, he's right. You know. The thing is, it's like you have to, like I respond to every comment. What you do you know? He was getting read, I was getting wrapped up. Then
another guy says, you need to cook it longer. It shouldn't be pink. If it's pork, you'll be shitting through an eye of a needle. Ah Shi perfect looks like something from the Walking Den. Learn to Cook. You look like you eat bland ass meat loaf for dinner? You do? I do? But watching this makes me want to vomit. And the best one a condom, would have prevented this post. Wow, that's actually kind of damn. They got pops, they got pop bop check this out.
But the thing is, here's the thing. This blows my It really just blows my mind just reading these comments that people like don't understand, like how do you think you get a pulled pork sandwich? But do you realize that these people very much so like it. Their only job is they're living in their mom's basements and they're just talking smack. No, because I looked at some of these dudes' profiles and like, these are very old people. They're
just bitter. No, But it's just like they don't know what a smoke ring was. They didn't know like pulled pork, Like, oh, it's it's not done. If you can pull a bone out? What what is that? Fools on that? Maybe maybe because of oh, now I remember what I cooked for Christmas, because you said that I cooked a Puerto Rican roast pork right so that you wouldn't pull a bone out. It's more of the shoulder part. But I did a roast pork and I made pastellis.
Pastellis is a Puerto Rican to Molly, but instead of the corn masa, it was yuka and green bananas, and then inside I put some pu pork. Actually it was some sean lene. No, they better not be no pink in there. You'd be spro it might be might be a little pink. Good that was mine. That was mine. Bunch of family in town. That was it. That was good. So check this out. Hold on one more bro, I'm joining everybody in the War of twenty twenty four of going on a diet. It's a very popular diet. Wait, hold
on, what is it you? I'm not going to say hold on, yeah, you going on. I'm three days in right now. So it's a very popular one that plays on your radio station. So the the on this diet I can't have. I can't have banks. It's got that sugar, sugar, that s something in it. Yeah, So I can't have that. What can't you have? Bro? I didn't know. So I'm like freaking out and I go to I'm at work at three am, and I am freaking dying yesterday, like I am dead to the world. The
most miserable f and day I've ever had in my life. Right, So I looked at the little Facebook chat or Facebook group thing and they're like yeah, And I typed an energy drink and they're like, yeah, go get this ZeVA zevas Zeba. They sell it sprouts. I can tell you the last time I've been to a sprout. Yeah, yeah, walked in there. Bro. God, that's why you and I just need to go hang out and sprouts and just act like we know what the hell we're doing.
Yeah, you not the energy drinks, Bro, I was back to freaking Kyle's back, you think, so, Yeah, I don't like that. Ain't like I liked it. You liked all bro, that natural craw I had that. I I can't do anything else. I had to have something in my life to wake me up because at three a y Miami's zombie we can't say coke. Can't we say coke? You can't say Coca CoA? Yeah, you can. Have to come on. Anyways, that's my life. What about you, Beryl, Let's talk about your christ talk about moms
and dad. Man. I loved meeting your mom's and dad at the Christmas parting. Yeah, me and your moms was talking trading recipes. Actually, I think I'm invited to the house. You probably are. You probably are. You Can you imagine Beryl flipping out if you don't go there pumping moms in the kitchen. I'm gonna storm it in like a teenager. Bob, where's to me? Ceasy? Phil? Oh, what's up? Bell? Let's going moms of cooking pizza? But like, what is happening right now?
So my Christmas? So I was off the same time Phil was. I was off for two weeks. Yes, and I did. I did the same thing. Filled it like twenty twenty three and ob anybody else it It was like you were like in a spin cycle, a god dang washing machine. Like you never could get centered, You're just getting You're just thrown around all year long. I was like, finally at the end of the year, got there and I like the week between Christmas before Christmas, I
didn't do a thing. Yeah, Like I legitimately slept, woke up. I was like, oh I go back to sleep again. I didn't do a thing. You got weird hours too. Yeah. I didn't do a thing that entire week. It was great. Christmas. We I went to like a kind of like an open house kind of thing for a bunch of people, like you know, small families out here, people moved here, whatever. Did that. It was fun house in your neighborhood. No,
but my poor parents live. They have like a big, huge It's like almost like a neighborhood block party because it's bunch people like, you know, like some people will have family here, people will get whatever. So it was cool. It did that Christmas Day, Christmas Night. Didn't really do much of anything. Went to a buddy of mine's house Christmas evening and just hung out there. Nothing crazy. Uh, didn't cook it all that whole time. Like I said, I didn't do a dang thing. Besides,
I did make chili. One day. I left over try tip and I was like, I got to put this in some chili. So I went after and made some chili. It was it was dang good beans. Beans no beans, no beans, beans because a beanos no because beans. Okay, So one day I would like to add about chili. Everybody has the wrong impression about chili because is there really a chili bean? Well they we they call chili beans. It's a kidney bean. Yeah, it's the real
name for a chili bean is kidney bean. And really the real name for chili is chili because of the pepper, because of the chili beans exactly. All right. Well, we actually had an argument about this because I made chili and I posted it and somebody's mine were like, there's no beans in there, and I was like, there's not supposed to beans in there. And people were kind of like chirping back and forth about it, like there's got to be and I was like no, And a buddy of mine said
it best who's not a cook. Whatever it goes, Chili that has beans has no flavor or has no meat. It's filler. And I was like I kind of I was like okay, and he goes. I grew up dirt ass. Poor my mom put more beans in there than you can imagine, he goes because she couldn't afford meat. He goes, so to make it where we weren't eating, he called the diarrheal water. He goes. She filled it in with beans and I was like, that's so true. He goes, he goes, good chili. He goes, it's got like
meeting there. So asked me. He goes, what kind of meat you got in yours? And I was like, it's got half a try tip, all like cut up super fine in there. I go, it's got a pound of ground beef and it's got a pound of Italian sausage all mixed in there. And I said, I put it on. So I put it all together, put it in the in the Dutch oven and just put on my GMG. Yeah at like two twenty five yeah, and was like, I'll check you later. And it hit that thing like eight hours later.
I go out and stirred occasionally. Yeah. Fire, that's making my stomach right now. Came out with some it was good chili there. It was great, bro, what's that can't because because you're on your new diet, yo, you did you water fast? You should have took my advice and water fast for three days first. But I'm gonna I did the carry off I'll go on a whole thing about it. So I did chilli on
that and then on New Year's or then the week before that. So the guy I was gonna tell you we got to have on the podcast here he h works in one of our morning shows here in the studio. He wanted to get into smoking and stuff like that. So he was we were going back and forth about stuff. Yeah, long story short, I got him a I got him a little GMG, got him set up with a little GMG, and he cooked his first try tip on it and he loved it.
Well. Then he had his son's first birthday. Oh I saw this and he wanted to like had this idea what he was getting, Like, this is way too beyond you, Joey, I'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. So at first of all, I was just doing some pork butts. Yeah, easy, simple, right. Well, then that evolved into his wife was like, well, you know we're gonna do tacos. We'd really like to have pulled chicken. Add that dilemma to it. Dilemma, but to add that level to it, I mean pulled chicken. Ze just
did a bunch of chicken thighs. Yeah, I hope you had a big kitchen aid. I better believe I kitchen aid like a mofo. I kitchen aid like it's twenty four. Let's get rid of the kitchen note. Let's keep you going. Kitchen AD's even better, buddy. Nope, oh god no, that's that's no carols. Kitchen ad that bad. Yo and so turned out perfect. But here was the best part. So it's like I had to get the food there at four o'clock. It's like twelve, and he messages me and goes, hey, He goes, do you think you
could make beans? And I'm like, like baked beans, barbecue beans. He's like no, like something like Mexican beans, like somebody could do it. I'm like, you, I posted to soak these overnight. Yeah exactly. So I'm like, so exactly, you said, Hey, Suri, I went on freaking Google, can put in. I put it up. I literally just put in. I put in canned pinto bean bean recipes, and this woman's web page came up, and I should give her credit, but I did not. No, No, it was some random person I've
never seen. It was so basic or her web page was so basic. So it was two cans of two big cans of pinto beans, threw those in there, saw are drained. And then it was two cans of pinto beans in a blender with the juice puraded, mixed them together, got them hot, added some green chilies to him, and then it had a little
extra water and took the water off it. And then I just took a whole block of cheddar cheese and just shredded and dropped it in there, cheese, thicking it in the beans, and it thickened them up and they were fire to the point where I was like, I don't know what the heck I just made here, But this just I never had beans and cheese and beans beans. I thought this cheese on top of the beans. Put some manteca in there too. Honestly, I was just I was just dealing with
what I had to work with. No, I can't have that the large I see the bs I have to eat bro not be it's real good stuff. I'm on some new clean stuff this year. It's all about balance. You got a question, It's all about balance. Many have you guys ever cold plunged before? Yes? I have? Have you? Yeah? At lifetime you jumped in a pool, which what they have what hold on all directions here? Barrel? How did you do it? Did you jump?
I have a friend of mine who has a cold plunge in his backcard, and I have another friend of mine who's got above ground one, mister Jay. And so now I wasn't John Jay's, but I have a buddy on the same setup as that where he's got a cold plunge in his back here next to his pool. And you did it? Yeah, four minutes or three and a half minutes, you did it too. Yeah. I gotta be honest with you. It's not as horrible once you get in. Once you get in that first forty seconds to a minute, yeah, I was
horrific. Yeah, and then your body kind of like locks up. Where I struggled with was the getting out, yeah, because like I get cold and I get like locked up tight yeah yeah, and then you gotta like lift your legging like climb out of this like cold plunge tub. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's why I only like the cold plunge at lifetime, because lifetime, you go, you work out right, and I find cold plunge actually helps you with your information, right, you know, like you
you sore and stuff. So it works all that out. Then you jump right into the sauna like so then Nat loosens everything back up for you and you tore my a cl this morning, I think, are you cold punched? Well? Turned off the house? You had to take a becka, dude, that's okay. So I took a hot shower. It's two am. I'm taking a hot shower. Boom, ready to go. Then they say get out of the shower, dry off. Is this hard part of
your diet thing? No, it's not part of all. But I was just like, I was like, my mind was I went on this TikTok rabbit hole. So then the brecka guy was like, yo, just turn your shower onto cold. So I have, uh, what do you call it? Like one of those not a miss shower, but like you got shower heads on the side of rain. So he said, turn it all the cold, then just get in it. I'm thinking, yeah, at two am, I'm ready turn that on cold. Bro, I's the worst
lip that. It's the worst thing. Ran out busted my I felt I was bad, all bad, bro. So am I trying it again? Never again? So at least if I could jump into something, yeah, good to go. Yeah, but I would never try to shower because you're gonna be cold in one area, like at least when you're down, like you're down at your shoulders, like if I just wake up, maybe yeah, but not after a hot shower. Now I teased you about I teached you about the electric guy or the gas guy coming and turn off your water
because it happened to me in college. We all rented this house and we didn't pay the bill, and the gas guy came and one of my roommates let him in to turn off the gas. Right now, we're all taking cold showers. I busted my lip because I was in there just rantically, like frantic, just showering and rinsing and showering campus lip on this shower head like I was like, all it was just so painful to take showering. Bro. I was like, all right, guys, we got paid his
bill, We got get into something right now. All right. Back to the food talk. So I did that. I cook form he loved, and everything was great with that. But on New Year's Eve for dinner every year, I go with some friends here then on a local brewery, uh hu sprewing. I went with them. We go to Ocean forty four every year in New Year's Eve for dinner. If you guys, thanks for the
invite. Well, it's me and it's a good family. I mean they were at the Christmas party, well who wants to bring the troll with people? Though I know at the end of that party they would all look at Beryl and they said, that was the best he needs to come. That was the best decisions you ever had. Whoa we we to dinner? If you don't know Ocean forty four is it's a high end steakhouse seafood house here in town in the Phoenix area. The time is that they're well that's another
subject. Sorry anyway, So they had something that was incredible. They had chicken fried lobster tails Okay, oh my god. And then they also had fried shrimp. They had fried shrimp deviled eggs. I think I've had that before. Actually fire those two appetizers were and the double deck and the double degg. But it's like it's fried, but it's like like Cajun fried. And then it's like almost like it's minced, so it isn't like you're getting a big piece of shrimp. It's just like it's almost like I said,
it's like minced and it's just on top of it. Oh that was good. But those chicken fried lobster tales, Oh my gosh, so good had that? So that was mine for the most part. And now we're here, we are rolling into the new year, twenty twenty four. It's a nice even number for us this year. Did you it's all about being even in balance? Oh, here we go. I don't need no philosophy. I mean, I'm just I gotta say. Though my year started, I
mean it could end crappy. But my Michigan Wolverines playing for the National Championship game right, the National Championship on Monday, which was great. It had to help repeat that again, Cowboys, he repeat that again, my Michigan nation. Yes, yes, allions. We all saw what I got robbed. The Lions got robbed, got robbed. I've never rob It should have never even gotten to that point because they we should add a pass interference way
before, because they called the tripping call on a Cowboys offensive lignment. Who wasn't tripping It was that hutchingin d bag, that the guy who destroyed your all pro Hey, by the way, did you hear that. Did you hear that your all pros? Jock is still hanging there and hey, he owned you guys, that's what Anyways, No, I agree that's here because I'm not blaming the Cowboys anymore. Like I don't blame him, I don't I blame the NFL officiating if you don't tell me that they're not on the
take it is it was. It was funny how the Cowboys barely won that game by some miss freaking stupid play. Yeah, yeah, right, and then all of a sudden, the Eagles get beat by Arizona. Let's go. But there's also so many look hold on, no, no, no, no, no, no CBS, the NFL why had the same official hold on? Jimmy Johnson gets inducted to the Ring of Honor that night, Yes, and undefeated at home. All the old time Cowboys are all there
to watch Jimmy Johnson do his thing? What did that have to do with you think what the NFL was gonna be like, Yeah, maybe the Cowboy should lose this game. No, no, it's not happening. It's not happen. Here's the ill put a little saw on your team. They got assaulted. You guys will lose in the first round of the playoffs. Way you see what bracket we're in. Yeah, it don't matter. Don't matter who you think you got for Seattle or the Rams. Oh s matth Stafford
will light you up. No, No, your second, Jared Gofflet your second here. Stafford is gonna look at Cooper Cup and Nakou on the other side and be like, I'm gonna go this. Oh he's gonna go to Jefferson as well. If you play against the Rams, you guys will lose by seventeen points. I will take that call all day long. Seventeen points. I'll take that right now. We'll wait and set right if the matchup happens. Yeah, yeah, all right, all right, let's get back
into Barbie. I got a question anyways. Yeah, have you guys seen this new rib association that has popped up? I sped up and rolling deep I saw because I don't think I've seen you so happy about something. How do you? How do you sign up? Tell us about the events start this week or not this week? This year in Oklahoma, they're starting to Oklahoma. A bunch of promoters have already put their names in the hat to get the paperwork going blah blah blah blah blah. Promoters put the names in

So here's a little rules and here we go. Yeah, types of ribs for this cookoff. It's a one day cookoff. I love these little one day cookoffs. Bro. It's not a three day or you know, Thursday, you get there, party all night Friday, you know, do all your barbecue stuff. Yeah, this is a one day yeah,
all right. So the types of ribs you can cook. You can cook baby backs or spare ribs. That's it. Baby backs are spare. Promoters have the option for providing the ribs. They have the option. They have the option to keep griming what that's good though, but to keep the cost down as a promoter trying to put on an event and people can bring their own ribs, let's go, it's perfect, all right. Meat inspection, there's no meat inspection that will be conducted. That's a problem. That's a
problem. If you bring your own ribs, it's going to be a problem. Here we go. Meat can be trimmed before arriving at the contest. You hear the rest of the wolves. Let me finish this first. Let me finish seasoning an injection. No seasoning or injecting ribs before arriving at the contest. How would they know? Any cook cot pre seasoning or injecting their ribs before arriving at the contest will be disqualified from the contest and possibly banned
from the rib cook office. But how do they know? They don't inspect. That's I Therefore, you just open the door for Pandora's box and people get weird. Yeah, but I mean seasoning. You could see if some of these stuff was season now, you can inject every living heck out of everything before it got there. Okay, you gotta had that much of an advantage, That's what I'm saying. Is it really gonna hapen? Because you know what, you still gotta cook it because I break of a team no
names. Allegedly, everything was already trimmed. You're allowed to in ksebs seasoned and injected. You're allowed to in ksebs or no, you're not allowed to do that. In case bs already before getting to the contest. Was this the royal Nope? Did it help them? No? It did not. Nothing helped them because they couldn't cook them. Right, So there's that. Yeah. I mean, okay, what advantages or disadvantages do you both see on injecting your ribs before the content? I don't know enough about it to
say whether or not it would work. No, here's the deal. If you know what you're doing and you use the rite amount of tender riser on your ribs, it will have a better advantage. You think it will have a better ad So yeah, because just just look at the let's look at the obvious. And I'm glad you brought up ribs because I got something. But but look at look at the obvious. You take that tender what's that with Smithfield brand tender tender tender ris ribs or whatever that you cook that against?
Uh, a regular Smithfield Natural or something like that, or Perry Fresh Natural, They're going to be a lot more tender. Eh. Okay, maybe yaybe I don't you still gotta cook it. But here's the deal. Here's the deal. I don't care how tender they are. They're let me
just carry so for me, sure it could. It could. Texture is going to be a different Yeah, But so I have a very strict timeline, right, Yeah, at a KCBS contest, like I'm injecting ribs at four o'clock in the morning, No, four pm in the afternoon on Friday, after beat inspection and all that. Inject the ribs, they sit overnight, and then I seizon them probably at three or four in the morning.
I seize them and they sit on the counter, and I let them get to room temp before they go on the grill about seven about eight, actually seven thirty eight o'clock. So I don't really see an advantage that because that would screw me up, even if I were to inject them and try to seizon them before I got to this contest, because contests usually start like SCA for example, at seven am. Does it allow you, though to work
with somebody who does know how to inject properly? Yeah? So does that allow you to kind of be like, hey, so here's let me let me just keep reading these rules. So there, it's not like a KCBS type rib You could turn in smoke fried ribs. You can turn in terioki ribs. You can turn in bacon wrapped ribs. You can do any type mango rip. You could do any type of rib. You will love this. So it doesn't mean because casebs you can't right, case yes, O, case yes, you could. You can turn to imply them. You
can turn in what you want. You can turn in what you want. But you don't want to. You don't want to be too much outside the boxer. You're gonna get smashed. Why because the judges aren't fair and don't judge objectively based on what's in front of them, the base on their own personal preperacy. There's a preference. Wait, you say they let their personal is coming to effect the overall judge. Totally, totally. I had one judge that's I had one judge tell me that he does not like to eat
chicken on a bone. So what are you doing judging. We're not talking about We're not going there. We're not going so cook objective cook's age, fire source and turn in boxes. Cooks must be eighteen years or older to cook in the Rib cook Off Association events. I'm past that cooks can use any fire source to cook their ribs, any fire source, deep fryor promoters
have the flexibility to choose a fire source for their specific event. So you know, you go to event, it's like, hey, I want you to smoke them only, or hey, actually we're only not providing no electricity, so breaking your own fire, yeah, or deep frying or you're only going to do this, do that all right? So only one pit per person. Turn In boxes will have foiled disc and six ribs in the box only, so no containers of sauce are allowed in the turning box. So
you know the judging rules. There you go, bro ears perked up. Non certified judges will I guess because it's new, you can't certified, so they could just move on over because they certified. Non certified judges will elevate the ribs evaluate wack down. Judging will follow the double blind method. Criteria is appearance taste with a decimal rating and tenderness with a decimal rating. So there's the taste and then there's the tenderness. So you know, so okay,
ribs can be picked up or eaten with a plastic fork. Turn in only six ribs, no more so. The normal payout first places a thousand bucks and goes five hundred four hundred two hundred and fifty and then places six through ten are one hundred dollars each, and then they're gonna have to buy in. That is not like but I'm gonna gues it's about one hundred and fifty bucks. Especially if you've got to supply your own real light. It's just like steak. They've no no, no, no, no, that's
what I mean. I mean, I'm just asking, is it gonna be like sea where you you know, come in the morning, you set up, you cook, you turn in same day, or is it going to be like a day No? No, no. This is why this came out because they want a one day, same event, you know type it. I love these companies. You at least got like four hours, three four hours. You're gonna have to have four hours. Yeah, you're gonna at least so people got to get there early. Wow, it's on them.
And then what happens if you have like a Ribs election, right, so you're gonna go to a table and do a Ribs election and they gonna but if they tell you you can provide your own ribs, I don't think. I don't I really don't think a promoter is going to have that expense of forty teams supplying each team with say two racks of ribs. That's a big expense, Yeah, it is. Rather they say bring your own ribs.
Yeah, well, don't know what. But then don't charge me two hundred dollars than the one to fifty I bet, I bet it's one hundred and fifty bucks. And then they're kind of the cool thing about this too is they have a championship at the end. You win, you win an event, you get a ticket, golden ticket, whatever. And the championships in Oklahoma, Oh, there's a championshipeah like an Sea World Chance. It's
the same format as SCA. Now, if you think about it, they're gonna be adding ancillaries they yes, will as well make the ancillary's chicken brisket. And when are they win? So only in Oklahoma's right now, right now. But I've saw like people comment on Facebook about uh requesting the paperwork to be a promoter, to do to host an event, because I know John Lindsay he's hosting events. He's gonna host events in Arkansas. You're not getting close Arizona, I know, no, No, But Oklahoma, Yo,
we got Corey. I'm gonna go with Corey Chef, Cory bro Jeff Corey, Corey Chef, Cory phil sous chef. Was we gotta go, we gott analogy exists, dude, we gotta go cook some all for this? Now what now? What does this tell you? Okay, so here you go. You're your crips album. I might think about it. Okay, So what kind of ribs would you cook? What kind of ribs? Don't cook country? No, baby back, don't what I'm talking about.
What I'm talking about? Hey, do you show up at nine o'clock turn into one like, good luck, good luck buddy, But I'm gonna have my poor boiled country ribs. What would you cook? What would you cook like this till like like honestly anything? Yeah, I don't know like that. That would have to give some thought because, of course, of course, we have been trained to cook Saint Louis in a box neatly, nicely
glazed and now appearance. Yeah no, And that's what I'm saying. So now that you could go off the cuff, I would probably I would have to pay the box. Now, I'm just saying this out loud about going off the cuff, because when SCA was big time out here. It still is. But when SCA was out here and they would have ribbed ribs as their ancillaris, my dad and I would absolutely not to sound like an a hole smash on people with this. You know why because everybody was so used
to cooking the caseybs the suite. That's why Knox would do terioki knock it out of the park. I would do the bacon wrapped knock it out of the park, just because it's different than if you're a judge. You're sitting there right here comes ribs, uh caseys ribs. Yeah good. I can eat it with a fork, fork and knife. Guess what, over cook them? They want them tender. It's forking knife because the hand or they get. You're gonna you know what I would do. You're gonna have judges
that are gonna say you're gonna cook it. You're gonna cook them more. You're not worried about the bite you want to fall off the bone. Yes, yeah, And I'm gonna do my mom's oven ribs. I'm gonna get any heat source you're allowed, cook them in the oven and put some of that hinds onion piece. Barbecue sauce. You do, you bro barrel? What kind of ribs did you cook? I would do Texas styles, Saint Louis ribs. I really love. That's what I really been loving is Texas.
That meat uh almost just like a little tiny bit of a glaze. You have to have sauce. Let's see. I don't know it would have a little sauce on it, but it'd be almost just like such a glaze that when I do it. What I've been doing with mine is I've been doing cosmos SPG, doing cosmos SPG across it, and then taking a little bit of uh, like a like a hotter like pepper, just a little dusting of that across the top of it, and then just rolling them.
And then when they get close, or when they get about done about one hundred and eighty five hundred ninety degrees, I take them in what is it the uh blues hog the their Tennessee red. That's the sauce that's thrill thin. Put a little layer of the hat on there, and then I just lay the ribs in there, wrap them and foil and set them for like an hour and a half, so they got a little glaze on them like I would roll something like that. Maybe, bro, this is interesting to
me. Man, So speaking of ribs, not to switch subjects. I don't know if I'm late to the party of everybody knew this. Did you know Smithfield got bought out by a Chinese company? Smithfield? No, Smithfield Virginia, Virginia base family owned farm has got bought out by a Chinese doesn't surprise me. Company. Now they're they're bringing it public. I guess Smithfield had problems and they they were laying off and they had to kind of get
some kind of investment. That's why. Well, so that makes sense why they're not sponsoring. Smithfield was acquired in twenty thirteen by China's top me producer, which is known as the wh Grip to four point seven billion dollar deal mark one of the biggest take overs in an American base business by a Chinese company at the time. But this was in twenty thirteen. I know. That's why I'm saying I'm late to the party. But no, now it's
becoming that now that we're coming. I thought it was just soon, but they're making it public shares now they're about to be the first come out. They're gonna go public, and I got to go public. Let's go buy some stocks and and uh so you want to talk speaking of ribs, we're talking about ribs and companies. Yeah, dude, I geeked out yesterday. So I was at the grocery store Bashes Local groc Stoy. Yeah yeah, sup in my house. Anyways, I'm going through and you know, when
you walk into the store, they got the random signs out. It says pork back ribs dollar forty seven pound pork back ribs. And I'm like, okay, whatever, what's a back rip? Like a baby back? They got you dollar for I'm like, yeah, whatever, don't really think much of it. Go walking back in there, they're Prairie Fresh. Woo, Prairie Fresh dollar forty seven pounds. I got racks of them. I'm looking at my receipt because I literally got a receipts. Talk about it. Five
eighty one and five dollars and eighty five cents. Where was this at the bashes? By me? But Scott still five hours? Many? How many wreckses? I got two to okay? I got to you Max. You gate was three? Oh okay, it was like it they put a max but you could go you could go back around twenty times. Bro, I'll take my carts to the truck back in, truck back in. But a dollar eighty our dollar, That sure, sir, we see you dollar for it. I was like, that's crazy, dang. And the thing is,
I don't know if people realize how good those are. I'm like, yeah, but I mean, granted they are frozen, so you're gonna go, yeah, well, frost I think for a dollar forty seven they were frozen, pre frozen, frozen again and the prosted it prote what. I'm going to enjoy them and then we're gonna know the difference. We got to talk about one other thing. I know, we're kind of going a little longer. We got to talk about the Memphis in May situation which is going
on. So obviously Memphis and May long standing competition. They last year kind of fell out of shall we say love with the city the venue they were hosted at. There was all sorts stuff, possible lawsuits right between the venue and the city going after Memphis and May for damage it is, and they were having to move locations and there were some talks is Memphis and May gonna
go away? And there was all these different things, right yep. Well, memphism A was like, no, we're still going to go forward. You know, they were going ahead. What's happening the same weekend that was Memphis and May yet another contest, But this isn't just any contest. Fifty g fifty thousand dollars and is at the river and it's at the riverfront. That's a pis slap. Okay, all right, here's two questions I have but I don't remember. Yeah. One, well, here's just a couple
of bullet points. One somebody slept with somebody's wife. Nope, one gracious One, who's the sanctioning body that still hasn't been announced. All this money you know they got Maybe it's that that agent company, that boy Smithfield, Okay, whatever, So they got all this money, right yeah, So now they're trying to you know, they need teams that are going to sign up in fifty g's. That's intriguing a lot of serious cash. So here's the deal. My my belief is when you try to sign up for Memphis
and May, it's a process. You got to sign up and they have to pick you, right, yes, yes, take an application, right, Yeah, so you get accepted or you've been going to Memphis May for so long and you're like, I don't ever do well out here, so let's go try this O. Yeah, you do this other contest, right, what stops you from splitting your team? Yeah, but you can do
this contest. Boom, it happens. Done. Now the city is like, you know what, we're done with barbecue here Memphis and make take it, you know, go back to the wherever you're at now you're going to submit your application to Memphis and May and be like, oh, I'm ready to come back like black buld okay, yeah, white ball yeah, white white question. And then you won't you won't get accepted it. That's my thoughts. The question though, that's one. Why do you not compete in
both competitions? I mean, I guess it could. It's too much, but you'd have to have to have people fifty in the line. Yeah yeah yeah, but that's not I mean, and what's what? What's how are they set up? What's like what the sanctioned like? Who they haven't come out so is yeah, it's close like we should And you know what's funny
because I still clear thoughts they clear away. I thought the Memphis of May fifty thousands came out a lot earlier this year, and that was probably because the reason why because they was trying to get enough people to get signed up before the Yeah, butt, me tell you what fifty G is fifty G. Come on, barrel, let's go out. But does that contest make you a world champion? If you win? It makes you fifty thousand dollars richer? You don't. Hey, guess what that big old ribbon in that
brass trophy where fifty G fifty G in my bank accounts? Is I got fifty thousand dollars in there? I hear you're gonna take that trophy to the bank and they're gonna go No. I've seen firsthand, and I've heard stories from these new contests that pop up. Hoh, there's so much money. There's this we all go compete. Hey, guess what your checks are in the mail? Will write you a check later, you know, give us You know we don't have any check. How many times have you as that
we've been to a contest that happens. Did you guys get paid from up Perea yet? Zero? You can don't bring that up to Smitty Smitty won the whole damn from what there was a contest in Peoria? First timer. Oh, we forgot to check book, we got at the house. He never how long they won the whole thing and never got paid? How long ago? Is this what? Eight years ago? Twenty four? Bro? Wow? Yeah? I mean but then again, so you're saying that you're
you're a little apprehensive to go to this contest. I mean, how are you going to announce all this money? But there's no there's no sat hold on. My point is you said you have some apprehension about going to this contest, right, I take it through to smoke, and you've had some apprehension about going to this contest because you don't know where the money's coming from, you know where the sanctioning body is, you don't know the rules,
you don't breaking, you don't know what you're cooking. It kind of sounds unorganized, right, you still go to the American Royal though? All right? Yeah, right have you do here? You gotta go? Yo? But no, why why do you gotta go? When I bring that up? Yo, but why do you gotta go on the whole? Hold on? Why do you gotta go I'm not been on here for an hour and a half. Kyle's got deadlines. Hold on, well, why do you got to go on that? You always get so you always gets so weird
out when I bring that stuff us. He wants to be called. You want to talk about quote unquote being black white ball. You're afraid that this podcast is going to cause that to you. And if that happens, that goes to show me even more the corruption and the bs of the judging. If what we talk about on this podcast for our couple hundred listeners and our couple hundred downloads affects a major organization like KCBS to where they start impacting your
scores down, guess what, it brings my point even more. Let's bring yo thin, get through the smoke. Could it be? Now, let's just think through right, you know street analogy. Right, So this city said, all right, Memphis of May, we don't no longer want you hear you tearing up our property, bob about a million dollars? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you do all this right, get out to hear. But now there's a mysterious thank you. You'll think the city's putting
it together. Maybe they are He's like, oh, we we can find that another way, another avenue. Raising all this money we don't need about how about that cash you wouldn't? All right, I'll tell you. I'll tell you trophy for fifty thousand. How's getting anxious here? Before we go, though, Kyle, I do have to bring something up you. You responded someone on Facebook about birds and bones and they were common when it's gonna open, right, you said February. Just look at said February. You
said February. No, no, sez everywhere you heard it. And then that your spoof account is the one who posted it. Yeah, yeah, you're a spoof account. I have a spoofer. You got a spoof account. See that's barrel boy. Then no, that's you. It is you. It is you. You post. Why would I all of that stuff? You got all that? Why would I have my own account? Wait? So that came in a DM. I didn't know it came in a DM. I thought it was a screen shop from Facebook. I don't know.
So, which means to tell me that possible you are the one behind that. Yeah, he is, he is. He's spoofing his he trolling his own self. No, why would I do that. That's one hundred percent Nomini. That's facts. I didn't know if this man, a Cootti guy posted it. Yeah, that's on that's on DMS. That's on my find your Facebook page. It says here. It says here from Angie Dobbins Drake any updates and you said yes exclamation point of an update soon we'll be
ready to roll. No later than February. So no later than February. That's twenty six days from now to minute. Are you actually gonna open in twenty seven days? Talking about it? You just told you're going to well, Beryl, it's fours to leave. Yeah, me too. I got to go to my orientation for feathers and bow my job. I got to get to my job orientation for feathers and bones. Can I ride with you? Boss? Let's go. We all love Kyle. I love how Kyle
gets so anxious. He's gotta go. I swear to when we's got to go. When we bring up corruption and judging case, CBS and the Royal and then we bring up the restaurant, I gotta get this pain. I'll just be quiet. But this how long have we been on this damn thing? An hour? We missed us. We miss that. We were we were catching up and at a meeting before the show. We would have been recorded for fifty four minutes. So it's okay, what else you want?
You gotta go, though, It's okay. Kyle's gotta go. Everybody all right, Yo, he's gotta go. You gotta go, He's gotta go. I have I haven't heard from my I haven't heard from my job at like you that's on. Indeed, Hey, is your nue're done yet? Yeah? Is it? Can we see it? Can we see it? No, because you don't have it done, there will be. I gotta go. Audios Happy twenty twenty four later
