Yeah, yo, he was the weather he started. It was cold, bro. I watched the weather on the news. I was like, nope, noop.
It was supposed to snow and kingmin snow. You know, Kingman, you could throw a rock in it, bullet so used tell some snow, No, no snow. It was. Uh, it was cold the first day, but actually Saturday warmed up pretty nice. We was out of our hoodies and like in Friday, we had a chance of like maybe an hour of warmth and sun was out. We started on zippering, and then an hour went by and we had zip back. Did you did you guys stay at the casino on Thursday night? I didn't make it. Let's talk about
that. Let's talk, all right, so let's talk about let's talk. Let's start from the beginning here, let's stir from the beer the beginning. Okay, Yeah, we're gonna start from the beginning. When I get a phone call from Phil the grill or a text on what was it Wednesday morning, said hey, you're gonna be home. I'm gonna come pick up my stuff at like four thirty five o'clock. Yeah, I said, cool, And that's what time I started, four thirty five o'clock going, let me
know when you get close. Let me know when you get close so I can put Rent Tintin away because the dog is I got a devil dogs. So I hit him up. No text back, I said, Okay, maybe he's not coming. Six thirty seven. Hey, I'm ten minutes out, I'm like, all right, put Rent Tintin away, load. I bring his two barrels out, I bring his radio out, everything he needed put it, helping him put it in the trailer. Yeah. And I asked Phil, I said, YO, like, how are we going to
strap this? You strap him over the top over the thing. He's like, no, no, no, no, put the strap front of the barrels. So they up against the barrels. That you're talking about. Drum smokers they have if you're not familiar with it, and you're listening to this podcast, and we give you a quick example, bo. So if you do know thing, gave fifty five gallon drum with a lid that you lift on and off. Course. Yes, so the lid comes off, you can hold it in your hand. Yes. What would make you think you
did not need to fasten that down? Well, let's break that story down. Well what happened was what happened was no. So I was dealing with traffic all day. I don't know what's going on with the city's traffic. I started out in ten p At four thirty, I had to go get the trailer No. Two thirty three thirty and I went to go get the trailer from you all, and I went to you man, it was just I was just dealing with traffic, sit and sit and sit and sit.
And by the time I got to your house, it was pitch black, right, and there's no street lights out there, no zero And I did not realize that I never installed the hinge on that blue drum. I thought the hinge was on there. And then when I got two exits down the block from your house, I looked at my rear view and I didn't see a handle, and I was like, you know, weird, And so
I rode all the way back to your house. I had did a U turn at your drive way because I was looking for this the lid my gateway drop and I was like, yo, now what am I gonna do? Now? I got like this expensive trash can that like yeah, two accident firebacks, so everything blew out you did you not? Did you not hear it? Did you not? Any This was crazy, you know? And that's what I would think, right or like seeing it roll in front of you down the street car was like, yo, when you go to work,
like see if you see a lid to my barrow? And I was like once he said, yeah, the libs off and I was like, told you you need to pull the strap over the top, and you told me no, that's like you don't. I need to think about it. I got the receipt. I go to receipt to prove it. Yo. So I was like, it has to be there because nobody beat at me. Nobody, you know, I'm thinking, but one thing had to happen. It was in the middle of the road, some good samaritan. So
you found out, Oh, you probably wrecked somebody's car. Nobody's gonna see that in the middle of the road. People drive where is it? It's probably someone I honestly, I honestly looked for the two days. Yeah, going back and forth to the boat. That's why, bro, there's nothing. So I'm taking some good samaritan picked it up out of the middle of the road and brought it home to dispose of it. I think somebody ran it over, wrecked their car, had to call the tow truck, found
the evidence in the middle of the street. My DNA's on it from putting the damn thing together. So you get why Dell police, the sheriff coming. Yeah, all right, So you lose your lid on the way to the competition. So yeah, and uh, I was taking Sunny the Grill with me to Bullhead and she wasn't getting off work. She had something going on in American Express that she had her big bosses and stuff. So she
didn't get home to like five thirty and we were supposed to. So I bought the hotel for two days, and yeah, only checked in one day. So I got there like, I just left early on Friday morning and went straight to the contest. Yeah. Yeah, so you pull up, you load it in. How'd you do well? Friday was good? Friday was Friday was the k CBS yep, and oh no s c A. So we got out there. All the asy teams was all lined up together. That was great, man, that was great. Yeah, they put
everybody together, you know, and and it was a good time. So I'm all unloaded. I got everything together, you know. I took on a newer hobby, right, just to like ease some tension and anxiety. A newer hobby, yeah, well, recreation, let's call it, right, A little bit of herbal the cannabis, right, okay, right, So I'm you know, I take a couple of puffs I'm a social smoker, right, So I take a couple of puffs just to relax the nerves. And and and I'm you know, I'm in my zone. I had
a couple of beers. I'm like, all right, cool, I'm ready. Right. So there's this is not like a good start to any yo. So so this is sc a first day, right. So we're in the middle of the day. I got two turn ins, I got the judges coming, I got dessert, and I got uh what was it? Oh appatazer? Right? So and the judges come to your tents. Come to your tent. You have a table set up? Yeah, you got? I got I got my table. I got a cloth. I got
a nice stretchy cloth. I was talking down and I brought all my own stuff and didn't borrow a dang thing. Bs and yo, I got receipts. You got. I'll text Smitty right now find out if that's true. So anyway, so we got a little bit of time. I'm chilling, Molly Smitty, Sonny. We're all in a little group, you know, got a little five pick going and stuff. I brought my solo stove, you know, to keep us warmth. What exactly you see you brought you see your boy boy, you brought a new year, New Phil. Right.
So anyway, we're sitting around the stove. Did you hire an assistant? No, yeah, he brought all we brought all wood. Pause but but yeah. So anyway, we're sitting there and you know, we're all, you know, kind of sipping on something. Smitty passes me a road joint. Now I smoke with Smitty before, Right, he's my brother, but he knows my levels, right, expertise when it comes to smoking herbal cannabis. Right, So anyway, and we don't condone any drugs and things
like that for all the youngsters. Check with your moms and pops before you try to, yeah, exactly. Anyway, So he passes me a joint, right, So I know Smitty's level of highness, right, yeah, or his level of effectiveness on you know, whed whatever. So I'm very cautious. I just take two puffs, and that's my goal. I take two puffs and I pass it back because I want to see what it does to me. Right, So I take these two puffs and I'm sitting there.
I'm like, all right, cool, let me go start prepping stuff, you know, I got, you know, Sea stake selection coming up in a minute, and all of a sudden, it hit me like a bag of bricks. I am high. I'm not even on this earth. I'm out of space. Bro. I'm like nervous that I got to go to the hospital high, Like, I mean, it was bad, bro, So so what do you hold on? So I go Molly and Sonny is having a conversation. I go to son I was like, hey,
son can I see you in the tech for a minute? Right? No, my tet, you know, my little section, my little tech. Right. So I was like, can I say? She's like, it's it important? I was like kinda right, So she comes to the tech. Lamar is over there from I don't even know. It's Team Mark Barbecue. Right. So I'm like, Bro, I was like, yo, forget Smitty. I was like, and I said, it was a little more infatis to forget. I was like, he got me high as a
kite. I was like, son, I don't want to look like an idiot and walk around this park, but I need to walk this off, like I don't even be like Philip Grill's just out there, real Roman walking around the park. So I was like, at least if you walk with me, son it looks like we're having a powerful conversation through the park. Right. So, I'm walking off, I'm drinking water. I'm drinking water, trying to get this hot down. I'm like and Sonny even gets worried.
She's like, you're all right. It's like your eyes are like burgundy right now. And I'm like, yo. So I was like, all right, cool, I think it's wearing all sun. Let's go back to my tent. I go back there to Miko, to Miko right from Pop's barbecue. He comes by and he's like, yo, bro, what's wrong. I was like, yo, man, Smitty gave me some weed. I took two, and my high as a kite. I'm trying to come down. He was like, bro, I was the one that brought it,
some one of my boys. You know that cali weed. He said, Yo, bring some of that down. But I told Smitty, you might not want to smoke this here. You might want to wait till you get home because it got wax in it. I smoked wax, bro. I was yo. I was so yo. So eventually it wore off, it came down and I was able to cook my steak properly, and let me tell you a little bit about my steak technique. Right, I did something a little different and I'm going to run with it. But because again
being a high right, I missed the step. I missed a big step. We'll talk about it about timelines, and all of a sudden, all that I still was. I was still doing timelines, but there was one step, an easy step. I just went right past right. And as I was cooking the steak, you know when we put our grill marks, you know, then you insert your thermoped right, So I got my dot, I put it in and it skyrocket is like at one forty. I'm like, oh, I'm glad I had another steak prep because you're trying to
get a perfect medium steak, yeah, perfect? So what what tempted were you shooting for it? To try to pull off? Like I was trying to pull off at like one thirty four, right, one thirty one thirty five. So I was like, bro, it's one forty six. I was like, yo, let me get the other steaks. So I had one already ready to go. I threw it on and I was cooking that right. And then when I put the grill marks on it. I put that probe into that second steak. It was sitting at one twelve and I
was like, bro, there's no way these are two same steaks. There's no way. And they they went through the same process. There's no way that this is one twelve and the other ones went I hit. I hit one of the pins. The pins the pen made of skyrocket does that? Yo does? So check it out? So what I do? I went back because the first one was my pick that I wanted to turn in. I went back and took it out of rest it, put it back on. I put it back on the smoker. It got into what thirty five
and it came in for a place. I got a double cook steak. I done this and that Yeah, my done. This was a forty nine because I've had to do that before. Yeah forty nine. Yeah. I was like, I I have had yeah, yeah, bro, a forty nine. So then it was it was easy strokes after that, you know, I had the judges come around. I made Philly. These judges come there were six or six judges and they all brand new judges or I don't know. I didn't ask, you know, I gave him to phill the
Grill. I'm from New York, you know, you know, And so I was talking to him and I was like, hey, this is the number one winging pingix Phoenix by New Times Magazine. I was like, you know, this is something I created. You know, I went through my process. I was like, check out one lady said, I don't even like wings. I had nothing but bones and pause. I had nothing but bones in the plates, like clean bones, you know. So first place
one eighty, my first one eighty baby yo. And and then I did a your wings took number one, Wings took number one, Philly Crack wings. Yep. I got an appetizer, and then I congratulates, thank you, sir, thank you, first one eighty two, first one as time. Get that pin too. It's like, bro, you gotta like put it in its own case. I don't look. You don't want to lose it, you know what I'm saying. Yo. So I got to give it to Sonny. Sonny put yours. I got that. I got that
one eight for the Philly Crack wings. And then I did dessert. I did a skillet peach cobbler. So six new judges came six new judges, correct I did. I did a skillet peach cobbler, and then I did a fresh whip cream, and then I hit them with a little bit of grated nutmeg, you know, in a bourbon carmel sauce. You know that came in. But here's the deal. This is a question. I gotta ask what place it was seventh? Yo, it was tied for seven, Well all seven got you were the last one. He was the coin flip.
No, No, here's the deal. You know how there's six judges, right, and then the lower scores always drops off? Correct? What is the one eighty really like a perfect score? Is it? Even the drop counts? It has to be an No, I believe every every judge scored it perfect. That's how you get one eighty. Every judge scores it perfect to get a pin, even the sixth judge. Yeah, okay, so that's what I think too. Then the reason why I say that, and this is good for radio land, right, because here's the deal.
I got five out of the six judges to give me a perfect score. One judge gave me like a third. Okay, you know, so my score total one eight, but I didn't get a pin for that you should. If your score is one eighty, you get a pin. I didn't get a pin for dessert. Did they give everybody else a pin? I know, maybe they owe you a pin, they owe me a pin. Yeah, I'm supposed to get a pin. Yeah, all right, I gotta call y'all out. Yes, I got a score on one eighty.
Yes, I gotta I got called so anyway, okay, so hold on, okay, so you did. You got the appetizers, yeap? Second place or fourth place steak? Yep, yep. And then then we went to awards for the steak. I got fourth place steak, and me and my big mouth, right because I was souped and I was still coming down off of the weed trauma, right, I said, they call you up there, they say, oh, you gotta say your name where you're from. But yeah, and they already gave me an announcement. Oh here comes
the shy guy. He probably don't have nothing to say. Yeah, yeah that's what that. Well, there you go. Just whomp up the bear, build the grill, jay z a barbecue yo a Z. This is all backyard. We gotta let him know whose house is what? Yeah? I think I jinxed all California, California where he got carry got second.
Yo. Know, we was killing it in steak. But then the next day when yes, seven and I saw that seven out of the ten ten teams was Cali CALLI Cali Cali put it as well, that's something I want to do, Bro, Like I want to do a California versus Arizona contest. Yeah, I want to do the rib Cookoff Association. And I want to do s c A yeah, and I don't know, make it cool to where like we can combine okay, combined Arizona scores, combined calid scores. Yeah, we still do top ten bch just see who runs. We
should do it. We should do a private pot, a private oh yeah, a private pot. So what did you finish over all the results? All right? So k CBS bro kV CBS was hard like our four turnings. I had a make bro, when I tell you I had an amazing cook I thought I was GC in it. I really did. Everybody did. Smithy thought he was GC and it was sixty Bro. But Yo, here was the killers. Here was the problem. Here goes barrel that I'm about to poke the bear, as you say, chicken fried flew from Texas.
Yeah, just to go come to this contest here was it was a low scoring contest, right, because they couldn't figure out the she Yo, it was low scoring, right, it was very low yo. I I placed first at my table. I placed first at my table, and brisket twenty second place. Wow, twenty second place? There, I heard at your table because they had they had a judging class there too, judging class.
Insider that took the class, and you know, she's like, yeah, the food was all right, but like you know, she was like breaking it down to like what she learned in the class and everything, and uh, but she she didn't get to judge. They wouldn't let her judge because they had enough judge this time. She can judge it next time, next royal. Yeah, how many? How many? I'm curious how many people were at a table? Uh? Six? It should be six boxes? Well, I mean that didn't happen to the royals, so yes,
so curious if they did that. Here was something that I noticed, right, I date pork. My pork box was excellently. The pork was perfect. Oh my god, Yo, it was probably the best pork I cooked. Right, I forgot where it ended up. But it was somewhere in the twenties or whatever, right, And they said that my I was third or fourth at the table, but when I looked at the table numbers, I was second. I gotta go back to this again. Okay, we got to see the results in this. But I just want to ask this,
why do you guys continue to do this? If it's continuing, if someone can take it, if someone can take a judging class and the next week and the next week be a judge's Friday Thursday, they can take a judging class and then go be a judge and a competition for By the way, you just kind of get something away. You have an insider. So therefore you now know a judge. I know a lot of judges. What I'm just saying, you have a judge now who took the course, who's
now going to this is unreal. Just be like Lebron James having you know, an NBA ref over this house judges Like there's double blinds. I'm not going on. I'm not going to get I'm a double blind systemah, double blood to blind mice. If you're a new judge from what I was told, you're sitting at a However, they do the order like there's only like one or two allowed new judges. I'm in together with the veteran. I'm not going there. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to
hear it. Yeah, bood pressure yo, So so I'll try to defend yo. The second day, you would have been proud of me bro Saturday Saturday right case yo. So they did mix up. They changed the rules for open right, so open chefs or chef's choice. Chef's choice right because last time he was able to bring it on platters. Correct. Now, I told you what I made right and I had and I really don't want to get into my display because I might use it against you, but I
plan on bringing it into a platter. They made everybody put it in a box. Why would you put chef's choice in a box? Like? What can you possibly I okay, I get your frustration, but I liked the I like the oh this is an adapt and overcome because now you don't get a holes coming in there like me. Yeah, that was this big massive thing. Now okay, okay, now what we do? So here was what I made right for a chef's choice for chef's choice. I made a
corn pure with with bacon, right. I had to put some bacon in it. I grilled the corn, so I had some grilled corn corn pure with bacon, and then I made a butter garlic scallop on top. Right, yo, bro, it was amazing. It was amazing. Even Smithy kme. He's like, bro, the scallop is cooked perfectly, right, Yo? Did you have to plate these things? Yeah? Yeah, I had to put them in the box. I had to put six of them in a box. Did you have like little plates to put them in the
box or no? No, no, that's what I said I was gonna do. He said, hell no, we're not doing that. Hell no, you need Sonny there. She was there, yo. So we had these little cups. We filled up the cups with the corn pure, and then we put the nice brown caramelized gallop on top of each one and hit it with a little bit of chibs on top. It was it was it was money, right yo. I think I came in like four for six right on that. And guess what my worst score was on that appearance?
Tenderness? What what on this gallops? I don't know how you podcast on video. Right now, I am spinning my chair around and staring at the ceiling. Yo, I have no more comments. It's spinning. My brother came over. He was like, Yo, this cook perfectly right. So we thought it was it was money. It was perfect Yeah, great tenderness. Well, okay, do you take a lot of judges in Bullhead City, scalp. That's what That's what Sonny said. You gave up some whirld
fool her world. Poo. That's part of the deal, like you have to No, it's not part of the deal where you're judge in an open competition. You should maybe these judges didn't have to be like that'd be like saying that'd be like saying, oh, the NFL referee, Uh, he does not like cold weather, so he's a package gam so he's not going to move past the ten yard line. Shut up a bunch of them bulls, I'll say it, a bunch of bullshit. O God, I'm so
over this. Every time every time we do these dang competitions, we come back with the same stories of things that don't make sense. Yeah, but okay, I mean I kind of get it though. No, Yeah, you're a judge and but it's okay. It's not like he did something that was not allowed. It's an open competition. It's not like he came out and was like, by the way, it's some Australian sea lobster heard of. It's a scallop. Okay, it's a scallop. We're not talking about
anything crazy tenderness wise, I mean something. I mean because if it's a melt in your mouth, it melt it in your mouth. It melted in your mouth. How much more I can't. We gotta move on. I don't really my blood pressures getting up too damn y. And I didn't buy the scallops in the bag. I went to my voice shula uh seafood, best best seafood in town, the best seafood town. So I got the nice figures. Of course you get because you served us to a judge who
ain't never had a scallop before. That's that's the rule we're gonna use. That's that's just that's just case they're not familiar with the smell of what you're supposed to serve them. A god blessing corn dog nuggets to do this contest. Barrels in it, barrels in the contest, just so we could see all the all this. Yeah, so love to because I'd get thrown out because I'd just been talking. I'm not saying. I'm not saying that a scallop is over anybody's head. I'm just saying, you got to kind of
play where you're going, Yeah, serving corn dog nuggets. And I'm just saying, what one first place did they say? I don't know. I took my well, I didn't. Over Pops took first place last year and all he did was a uh what was it? A lobster mac and cheese. But okay, that imagine it was great and amazing. But my point though, is is you say you do a competition for open you inspire creativity, you don't want grape, But it's bad that you're doing competitions insane.
Don't dumb it down. Don't push it all the way because well, you know from fo from you know, Lake Havasu coming on her Rascal, she's not familiar with want a scallop is shut up? You know, I hear you. I get it. That's I'm gonna push it. I'm gonna push it all the time. That's what I've done. Yeah, No, it was, it was, it was, it was. It was a great weekend. I'm glad it was a great it was a great weekend hanging out with friends and and just yeah, even though Smitty got me high as a
kite, how did do same thing? He didn't get no calls, imagine exactly. And he thought his joint was he was. He gave you those eyes, he gave you that way. You want to talk about you don't talk about it, want to talk about it. Let's even even Moley said, we're not talking about it. We're not talking about So they both knew they had some good and yeah, bro it was low. How about sausage. What'd you do for sausage. I'm not gonna say what I did for
sausage to complicated. Yeah, just done some ground breakfast sausage. Yeah, I got I got a I got first place in sausage, first place in sausage place. Let's go, man, these people were in that breakfast sausage on a piece of toast. So you got first place sausage, first place, appetizer, yeah, one am, dessert yeah yeah. So low and then for fourth place in uh, fourth place, so I got to keep So so here's here's my deal, and I'm a hold on you know what
you need to start doing that. You go do this, you go do these scas. That's what I was freaking jumping the anclary. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because here's what you do, Yeah, jumping the ancilarry. I know you you state game and all that, keep it the same. But if you throw as much attention and as much as you did for your appetizer, yeah, as much as you did for your sausage and other stuff like that, and get creative even with your scouse. Yeah, turn stuff
in like that. Yeah, bro, you will clean house. You will clean well well because of the caseybs, bad taste in my mouth. I am moving forward with more sea comps. I'm gonna I'm gonna pick maybe one or two more. I'm gonna I'm gonna pick on like, maybe one or two more. Saint George's coming up, k cy bs, Yes, yes, an hour or two out of this. This is the one that I don't know how I'm gonna do it. Oh, radio Land, Radio Land, if you're out in Connecticut, how at your boy filled the girl?
Because he's coming to Connecticut doing the sea But he doesn't answer. Yeah, I'm gonna need to borrow some ship. I'm gonna need a bar so they got one out there, Yeah, they got one, and so I'm gonna take a week see my grandkids. My daughter does a chair time. Your kids live there, right, yeah, why don't you buy a p K online and have it shipped to her house? Ship it to her house and
leave it in she got a garage. Yeah yeah, leave it there so daddy when daddy comes home, Hey dad, Well, hey, what's up? Kids going to a contest? No, definitely, Well that's that's the gold. The stores you there, yeah, there you go, there you go. Yeah. So I'm working that out. I need a tent and I need a table. That's what you need, tent table. The cancillary's ancillary's is pizza, and I wait pizza and what was the Oh yeah, I need to talk to you barrow pizza. You ain't doing a pizza on
it? Okay? No, no, he had My son in law already has a green Mountain grill. Done, yep, he'll we talk. I need that though. What was it? What was it? Crap? Oh? Rip oh rip rip. Now look, I'm gonna give you a little insight and radio lands listening, don't do your normal CACYBS strip understood, be different. I am don't guess what everybody that listens to this, and then everybody out there, yeah when they think of rips, Oh we're gonna put this barbecue sauce on there. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, hit him,
slap them, lap something different. I'm totally that guy. Or you judge be like, yeah, this dude don't know. This dude don't know what he's doing. No overfe oh yeah of course of course. Now, but yeah, we we had a great time. I was. I was not impressed with the judging out there. But you know what, I heard a lot of complaints there KCBS what I referenced it to kmart Yep, yeah, it's falling by the wayside, which is sad because I really love the
Royal and I don't want it to leave. But somebody needs to come contest me too, me too, any type of contest. But here's the deal. When you know, like I I am totally all about taking responsibility for my bad cooks, right if I know, because you're out there with the best of the best, right and if you didn't have your best game given, I mean, there's no way, I shouldn't have been in the top ten. I'm sure Smithy feels the same way. I'm sure you know what
I mean. And it was, isn't that it was? Here's the deal with judging, right and and and I'm gonna I'm gonna speak on it real quick. But I mean this judging is not for your preference, like you were just saying, you were saying, yeah, oh, they didn't know what the scallop is. Judging is not for based off of your preference. Judging should be there should be a baseline your appearance. There should be a baseline and what's parents taste? And there should also be a baseline of what
constitutes good. There's no line, there's no line. What about taste? Okay, if I gave you something, What if I gave you something that's not like a nice blend of spice but not spicy, but you don't like that, well, if you don't like spice, what if you don't like it's to it was too spicy? Anything ever done? Any No, I'm just saying, like, okay, but you it's not your preference to call
that out at a contest. How was the balance of taste? How was the balance, even if it wasn't a taste that you are really careful. I don't like Let's just say I don't like mushrooms. But if I get something in a pizza and it has a mushroom on it, I'm not gonna say, oh, I gotta knock them down because I don't like mushrooms. How do I know you don't like mushrooms? Yes? They do? Are you kidding me? We just discovered it with scallops. They don't like scallop.
Yes, that's the problem. They do do that, Yes, they do do. Here's my things bad? Right now, here's my thing cook better? But you are cooking? What if you you already cooking? You cook the world. You can always cook better. You always cook bad. But if you judge cook it off of somebody's preference, you could always cook better. Save it. Yeah, exactly? Am I not right? You can always cook better? So you're telling me there's not three or four things
you would have changed differently with your turn ins? No? Nothing, zero four sauce, nope, a little bit A great cook. There's nothing you could have done better. The only thing no, and I'm not no, I would not change nothing. The only thing I could put two and two together. Smitty said everything was tender and good. I said the same thing, and I was working. I was scared about that because of the cold, right, you know how things sat back and tighten up right real quick.
I said the same thing me and skipped. Smitty didn't get one call in any four boxes. Wow, maybe it was too tender. Let's maybe it was cherry anchor barbecue, cherry anchor guy. Yeah, he came a long way, his ass off, he came along way, came a long way and the contest of all contests and his first GC. And and wait, I think he got two calls on one call. I think he got three calls. No, I don't don't think so, because he got did with. There was a couple, there was and that was the thing.
It was like even Steph Steph from simply Marvelous, he got one call and he was like seventh. Scores were all over. Yeah chicken he got thirty second place. Yeah, Ribs he got sixth place. Porky got first place with a one eighty brisket. He got twelfth bro in big contest like that, Yo, two calls can make you the winner. Thirty second, thirty second place and you e gc yo. That's that's the problem with No, it's not the way it's apposed to be. Yes, it's the way.
Let's give a big shout out to him. Yes, congratulations. Yes, that's the contest to win. Look, I'm not here to say that nobody cooked better than anybody else. I'm not here to say that. I'm just saying that the judges need to understand that we are not cooking to their preference. You know what was the worst thing that people used to say to me? At at trap House, people will say, oh, yeah, no, the Mecca chief is good. But it's not like my grandma's. I
am not your grandma. I'm not your grandma. I'm not cooking to your preference. This is my recipe. You're supposed to be a chef. You're supposed to change the game. You're supposed to have your own style, your own flavor, your own profile. You give somebody that is a perfect dish, they either like it or they don't, but they cannot criticize that it's not their preference. Like you can'tnot judge off of their preference. Bro, I'm done, I'm done. That was my weekend. It's always adapt and
overcome. Oh yeah, I'm not done, and you can always cook it. You cannot tell me, you cannot always want I want to ask my big brother every cook. I want to ask my big brother if he would have did anything different every cook I've ever had, whether it was first place steak, second place steak at the same contest and first place and they antlers, there's always something that I'm like, I could have done that better, and I could have arrested that I could have done that. Let's start calling
you the kool aid man. You drink so much of the I have a new look outlook. Oh my gosh. All right, so talked about all that I did something that was so stupid, but it actually popped off pretty good. So I teased it last week that I had to do something.
Yeah, how'd that go? The video? It came out really good and it was the most ridiculously based thing Ever's basically what happened was, did you listen to podcastil I was tasked here at the radio station to create an appetizer that you could make anywhere and tied into Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs, and you had to figure out a way to do this. So again, it had to be extremely, extremely basic. So this is how basically got I took is this rules rules, This is my boss doing this.
And it's also for our audience. Like a lot of our audience here at the radio station and our social media followers, they don't have smokers and grills and everything else. A lot of people are ovens and air fries. You know, that's their thing, and it ain't nothing wrong with that. So I took frozen chicken strips because Taylor Swift loves her chicken strips. If you remember that the first game was she was there in the sleet she was eating chicken strips. Sorry sways, so crap. So what I did is I
took hold on. I took a frozen chicken strip, air fried it basic. I got some pretzel sliders, Yeah, because pretzel sliders looked like little football the Kings Hawaiian ones put that bred it. I took that chicken strip out of the air fry and was done. I mixed it with red sauce, red hot sauce because Taylor red and she loves that, with Kansas City barbecue sauce. Mix the two together dipped the chicken strip in there, put it Omie toasted pretzel roll, then put a piece of swift cheese aka Swiss
cheese, and then put a little ranchtris over top of it. Total recipe costs like less than twenty bucks. Made it in ten minutes. I didn't think it was gonna go anywhere. It got quite a few views, but the amount of people that thought I like, reinvented the wheel by mixing Ksey sauce and red Hot sauce, I'm like, it just goes to show right there. It kind of goes back to Phil was just talking about or you
were saying the same thing. We have people and that sounds so stereotypical, but there are so many people who eat who don't know how to cook, who just want the simplest things possible, and the simplest things sometimes work. Kids a city barbecue sauce from the store, poured in red hot sauce, fifty mix it together and people were like, this sauce is amazing, And I'm like, it's the basic, the most basic sauce, but it blows people's minds. So now this week, since it did well, my boss
has tasked me again to do another one. So this week I'm doing because Casey is still in it. Correct, Yes, So this week I'm doing I'm doing Tailor Tots Taylor. So they're gonna be Tater tots, well bacon and I'm gonna mix ranch and hot sauce, make like a spicy sauce. I'm gonna put cheese on top of it and getting toaster in style. Tailor
Taylor Tots, stupid things like that. Yeah, but again it's the stupid things like that that people like because yeah, we work for our I work for a country radio station, so yeah, and anything right now that's Taylor Swift based. I mean, my god, the world is stopping that girl. Make the Tata swat Tata Tots do to sway because they look horrible.
Barrel, I gotta give you my phone. I want to I want you to read Smitty's comment on the air, so they that that Kyle Manakati with, Oh, we're going back to we're reverting back to what Phil just said about. By the way, you have eight hundred or six. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it how much twenty six all hate to see his email? All right? Here? You have that many myss text messages. All right, here we go. This is what Kyle said earlier.
If you'd always change something Phil to Smitty, would you cooked or change anything from your turning boxes last week? It's for the podcast? Anything different, Smitty? No, it was a good cook. If anything, I may have slightly overcooked everything, so I just would vent more or lay off a bit in the wrap. That's what I'm saying. There's always something so tighten.
Did he just know you, yester, something he could have changed, because that's hold on, But that did he not just say that's something you would change. There's always something you can change, bro, There's always is something you can change. All right, So we're gonna move away, We're going down. We're gonna change. Not to talk to crap. But I've heard this before. I've heard the same song and dance. So that was my weekend. That was mine. So I gotta do these tailor tops this
week and go with that. I guess as long as Kansas City continues on in the playoffs to continue to make things. I think Kansas City has Buffalow Buffalo and they both of that playing the cole. I think Miami was Dave Froze, dem Oh Miami had no chance. I mean, my gosh to their quarterback came from Hawaii, played at Alabama. That guy's probably ever seen him below fifty degrees in his life. He got there was like what has happened? Plus all the injuries he's had over the years. His body was
so tight and could he move? So that was my weekend. Let's just get into it. I know, Kyle, do just want to talk about it? Yeah, he don't want to talk about if you don't know. Real Quick, Kyle from your behind Barbecue, the upcoming rushaurant, Birds and Bones, real Quick has an update on that. We're getting closer. Yeah, it's where it's rolling. We're getting real close. Looking forward to that. Hopefully someday we'll actually get to be invited to it and find out what
this place looks like. We'll see that. But so, Kyle is a huge Dallas Cowboys, die hard. I'm a die hard Cowboys and every freaking year my heart out, stop stop stop stop, We're gonna we're going back to this up a little bit here working a back you got, We're gonna back this up. We're gonna back this up last week off air before we begin the podcast, you were like, this is our year. We cannot be beat. We got this year. We got this. I mean the
confidence that you went into this game with. Let's just say this. If I don't get a freaking notification by tomorrow that says that whole freaking team has been fired, I promise you, Barrow, I will never ever cheer for them again. So you're hard out bro every freaking year. And let me tell you something, Barrel. When these teams, when these Cowboys get blown out, right, they get blown out, blown out forty nine ers, Buffalo Miami, These good teams blow us out, and you know why because
the team isn't ready. And you know what, that's not a player's fault. That's coaching problem. That's a coaching problem. We're not built for the playoffs. We can't show up the big games. I'm done with the team. I'm done. But it's off. But okay, I know, as much as you want to blame the coaches because that's the easy thing to do, they hate say it. Your quarterback is a b he had a career year. I'm not getting into Dak Prescott because wait, he had a career.
He had a career year against a weak schedule. Yeah. Yeah, if it was any year it was this was your coach problem. Yeah, all of them. You know what you need you need to you know, no, you need you need cocaine to come back. That's when you guys were good. That's what you had, the cocaine. Cowboys. I think, I truly think though, I truly think that you dedicate Sundays just cowboys.
My favorite, My favorite is I wake up Sunday morning, go through Instagram and there's Kyle Where where the hell do you get That jacket meets a lot You don't don't bash my So that's a Mitchell and Ness jacket. Cowboy jacket. That's nice. And you know what, Beryl, you know what the nail in the coffin was? Was that fing video? When I posted that stupid, fuck, stupid video of me tongs and mitchelada in the hand and just having a good old time at nine o'clock in the morning, and
I posted, I was like, that's the nail in the coffin. Because I never post stuff like that. I keep it to myself. Cowboys, I keep it. You know what else happened? Check this out. My sister's like, oh, you know, my dad so my dad's like trying to make this big extravagant breakfast and I'm like, what's going on. So, oh, your sister's coming over. We're gonna go look at a car and blah blah blah. And I was like, well, yeah, I know you, and I know how you get with these car people, Like
you know the game is it two thirty? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, he said, yeah, yea, yeah, I'll be back in time. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, I will call in a bomb threat, like I know how this goes. Yeah, he said, no, we'll be fine. Blah blah blah. So may you know we're eating fucking They leave and I'm starting it's time. It's game. It's playoff weekend. Yeah, right, doing my thing blah blah blah. Put the nail in the coffin with that stupid post,
getting on the couch blah blah blah. So during the regular season, my sister does not come over. I do not have friends come over for the game. It's me, my father, and my brother sometimes and we watch the game. That's it. It's just the boys. We watch the game. Blah blah blah. People I'll come over. You're always cooking, No, stay out of my house. Okay, it's bad, it's bad Juju. I'm a firm believer in Juju. Okay. So my sister comes walking
in. They didn't get the cars whatever, blah blah blah. So she comes and sits down on the couch and I'm just looking at her. I was like, oh, are you staying for the game. She's like, yeah, I'm gonna stay for the game, but you know I won't stay long. And I'm megan, okay, all right. So now then my in my inner head Juju's talking like this ain't good. And I'm like, so you mean your sister coming to screw? What do I do? What do I do? So I'm like, okay, it's fine, it's fine.
I was like, it's a Green Bay Packers. They barely made it, Like scroll them, It'll be fine. And then I'm thinking, okay, it's the first round of the playoffs. We always get knocked out. I was like, this could be our year. Blah blah. We have the best team at talent. I'm like, okay, I'm in my head, this is me and my head's off. Game's on. It's fourteen to zero. I look at my sister. I'm like, you gotta go. She said, make it good? Well, what do you mean. I
was like, look, I got this thing. She's like, I know you got the superstition thing. Blah blah blah. She's like, I planned not leave it at halftime anyway, boom Packers score king And I look at her. I was like, you have to go. That sounds like no, she don't have to go, blah blah. She's like, I'm telling you, I think I should go because every time I'm here they lose or this and that, and I'm like, oh, I please take this. Sister's like all right, and I'm all pissed off limit of the TV.
She leaves. So I'm just really glad though that once again it was your year to go out in the first round. Screw that team, man, Yo, I know you you realize though your logo, right, the star, Yeah, America's team. You realize that that's I'm not supposed to be your yell preview of your team. Just this one star, right? What's all right? I'm glad you're reading. Yo. I got one question? How about them cowboys? How about them cowboys? I dedicate my Sundays to
this. I don't know why, bro, I get so wrapped up into this crap. I always do it. Should I get so wrapped up into it? Do you realize that's like barbecue, bro, like going outside lighting your grill, going to these contests like this is my life, like the restaurant, all this, This is life, bro. Now my hobby. Like I got asked recently. He was like, hey, so other than that, like what do you do as a hobby? And I was like, Dallas Cowboys that's It's like, what do you mean. I was like,
ah, I dedicate I'm a hobbyist of the Dallas Cowboys. I love. I listened Dallas Cowboys podcast article. I do all this stuff, bro, I do all of it. And you know what, it's just pissed me. Like those guys on on TikTok or Instagram whatever it is, and they're breaking TVs and they're all pissed off, throwing a flag in a bush and all this crazy stuff. Like I get that. Other people are like, oh, this is all made up, and I was like no, Like I just kicked my sister out of the house, bro, I'll burn
this whole house down. There was a moment, wait this one, I know we're talking football, but there was this wide receiver wide open, Bro, and the guy, the damn Packers quarterback do it and it was like a back pass and he caught it and he's like all by himself and he's just like literally walking in the end zone. My remote was going through that
FATV. Bro. They swore together. It was I swear. I just was like and then I was here I go with my bad juju in my head, thinking, Okay, now I gotta buy a damn TV if I do this. I didn't DV, but I thoroughly regretted posting that because it got like thirty thousand views on Facebook. Bro and randoms when you put hashtags in there, randoms can like scroll through reels they see that. I'm like, oh, this didn't this didn't last? How did? How did the
game turn out? Like just bashing me in the comments as they should have. I know, I'm sorry, as they should have they should have. I'm done. You was quiet. I know I did. I did get you to come only come out of your show because it was Monday, after the Cowboys had had had paused, had fallen, had fallen flat, and I sent a message in our group with it. I said, hey, is anyone ever cooked with Doritos? I got a reciue I'm trying to make with Doritos, And Kyle, being the true friend that he is, right
back, yeah, tell me about it. You know what do you need to And I sent him back that mood or that meme that was going around and it said not this year Doritos, and it had all the cowboys, It had the Jordan crying face and it said that not so cool cowboy Doritos. I was like, oh, Kyle was like, all right, bro, I got so many I got so many damn things said to me, ms all these all these memes tagged it. And Mark Man I think he
listened to his podcast Giant Packers Fan. He posts on my thing He's like, hey Man, on your next video, you should like get a Texas brisket and slice it all up, wrap it in a bunch of cheese curds, and then have the cheese curds fall out on He had this whole you know what I was gonna do to you and I and I pulled back on it. I could tell upset you were he would have probably put them. He would have put the I was gonna instact. I was gonna instacart some
cheese curds and your address. I was gonna do it, lost, I was gonna do it. I had to pull back for two reays. One. I was like, this is my instacart account. But Kyle kills the insta car driver. I'm gonna be associated with some random ask dude with all his kids. I'll flip out. You're a neighbor. Who the hell are you gonna flip out? Good thing, bro, I would have lost it, ridgid it by way. So it's last. We're gonna give you a grief about the Cowboys losing today. No, but one more thing with the
Cowboys. This is this is I told your boy Rich from Bad Boys Barbecue two, and I'm telling and I'm telling every Dallas Cowboy fan because here's the deal. I knew my Giants was gonna suck this year, and I kind of just watched. Okay, should the playoffs? The playoffs? You guys, exactly, Okay, so let's let's just say this. I knew it wasn't gonna be great this year, so I just stood and watched the entertainment of watching football. I do not want to hear again. Two things that
you guys don't choke in the playoffs, and this is your year. You are not allowed to say that. I've never said any of them. You're not. This is you say that every this year. You say that. I don't say that. Those aren't even in my vocabulary. This is our year. We gotta remember said that we got to rewatch a podcast. I've never said that one. Yes, you have. How boring is football? Now? Like? Besides you, congratulations Barrow, your teammate the Lions.
They should have been the rematch this weekend. What what actually would have played Tampa Bay? What? What? No? I know? I was hoping that Eagles. I was hoping that Eagles would just pull it out for Detroit. But it's gonna be hard. But I don't even know Mayfield. Baby. Who's your two super Bowl contenders? Uh? San Francisco and Buffalo. Who's your two? I think San Francisco as much as I want the Lions to do, I think's gonna have their hands full of their defense is legit.
I think I think playing amazing. I love that here's because they're dogs. You got to have a dog in you. Yeah, But I will say that the Lions Front four has dogs in it. They're gonna make his life. Hell ye like that Hutchinson, Okay, he's got d Well, you're gonna call him a tool. Now I want monster. I just yo, you got you got Detroit and Buffalo. That's what I want to see, because you would be there'd be that would be the happiest super Bowl ever.
Because want Vegas. Yo. You know how many gators and make coats. If Detroit makes it, Vegas would not be the same. They're gonna shut that down. Not that all of Detroit going to Vegas for the Detroit goes to the super Bowl. I have made a very honest thought about going because he's doing the same thing. But he's selling everything. I gotta say, though, I don't think. I don't think we make it. I think we're gonna have our hands full with Tampa. I do think we beat
Tampa, but I think we'll have our hands full with it. And then I think San Francisco just works is off the field. I mean San Francisco's monsters. I mean, if that team stays healthy, if they don't have any injuries that come in the next this upcoming week, let's just what happens. They're gonna roll. They're gonna roll. So I but I would like to see Buffalo. I personally helped Buffalo beats Kansas City this week, just the kind of yeah, there's a double edged sword on it. I would
like to see Kansas City win. Why hold on? I like to see Kansas City win because it continues the storyline of how great Patrick Mahomes is. I want my Homes to get his flowers. I want Travis Kelsey the other flowers. Those guys are monsters. I hate when great players don't get the Super Bowl rings that they deserve and other guys get all these rings. They got three of them they got. I'd love to see him go back to back. Prescott, what about Ceedee Lamb, what about Michael Potters? They
haven't earned it? How about they get that? Why don't you try throwing the sea? I'm done, they haven't earned it. I would like to see because there's there's a side of me and says my Homes is the best player right now, the best quarterback, and he set all the ring. Well, if you if you believe all makes it. They have Taylor Swift at the super Bowl. There's at of that type of question. What she she's gonna come out, She's gonna come out with US. I doubt that
US is still the halftime. Yeah. So that's enough sports talk there for you. So I'm glad that that has that Kyle has accept the fact that his cowboys have I hate bro I almost burn. Let's not talk about it's okay, It's okay, always next year, next year. Tell you if I don't get a notification by the all you got I hate say though, you can't just blame that coach, Yes you can, now you got DA's gotta go. No, he's on his We're not talking about it. We're
not talking about a second coach. You're making excuses. At what point do you replace time to go on? Time to go? America's team, America's team? Yeah, yeah, okay, America. This guy, this guy, there's no words. I love how you go to the blood pressures. All up now, all pissed off, swinging, all right, moving on, Let's talk about something else. We're actually wrap up. We're gonna wrap
it up this week. I'm at high positive note. Uh, tell us, so you are getting close on birds and bones, yea, which if you don't know birds and Bones is Kyle's restaurant that he's been in the process of opening since the Cowboys won the last playoff game. I think, dude, you know what, which is what two years ago? It's been kicking my ass? Kicking my ass is I got this burger on it Kareemay packers. What did I tell you he was making a burger with no brisket.
We're gonna go into that again. I'm not telling you what's in it, but I make it with still no brisket on the man. Yeah, there is no briskets on the menu. I can for the last week. Oh you confirmed it. So thanks for listening to the podcast last week. So I've had this burger idea. You know, I get these crazy I want things to be crazy right, creative as hell. So I got this burger thing down. I make it at the house perfect, then I get it out to the restaurant. We're doing a you know, flat top. I'm
learning that thing, trying to nail dial that in right. And the brisket which just kept falling apart, or the burger kept falling apart, falling apart, fall. I must have cooked thirty f and burgers. I go out the front door, and I hand them out to random people walk, Hey, take a burger, just ran. I've given them to everybody. So I couldn't figure it out and it was pissing me off all weekend. So then I hit up Mike Johnson Sugarfire, Tugar Fire and High Point. He's
the Burger World champion. Yeah yeah. I was like, bro, I need some insight this is. And I explained to my whole process. He's like, you're doing what And I told him the whole thing. He's like, all right, well, all right, give me, give me some time and I'll call you back. I was like, all right. So we talked, and we're gonna run the run this recipe with a few little twitches in or little tweaks. We're gonna run it again this weekend. See
what happens. But this, this burger is the only problem with burgers at a restaurant. People want them, meaning, well, meetium Red with this. You get it one way and that's it. All right. There you go. You're gonna have You're gonna have one. You're gonna have one star. Yeah, view you look at your cowboys one star? You get it? How you get it? I need myne well, but I don't want to see no pink. No, there's zero pink. But every time I
every time I ever ordered a burger. Sorry, so you're not just a fast food slop restaurant, because every burger I've ever ordered, any restaurant, how would you like get cook sir? No, this is different. This is different. I can't wait for that. You'll review. I can't wait either. I hope it comes because somebody's gonna to take my phone away. Oh yeah, see this is gonna be good for you. Yeah, you
