Everything about these smokers are incredible. By the way, we are 18 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.079 not sponsored by this, We are not getting any money on this. Weird 19 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.640 is giving you an honest review of this. These new smokers from Green Mountain 20 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:30.359 are absolutely amazing. Every feature, in my opinion, everything that you've liked 21 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:37.239 about all smokers, Green Mountain, Rectech, Tregger, all the difference. 22 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.560 You take them all and you take all the positives of those and you put 23 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.719 it in a blender and you pour it out, and you made the new 24 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.200 Green Mountains that are going to be coming out here in Q four. The 25 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.120 way everything goes as planning me when the world can always change. But we're 26 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.439 hearing coming in time for the holidays, holiday shopping. I'm telling you they 27 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.200 are absolutely think in every backyard should get one. Right. So yeah, 28 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:09.680 like the typical builder right coat was that you should have a propane grill and 29 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.879 a side burner outside, right, But I feel like this will replace it. 30 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.360 This will totally replace it because it's all in one. And guess what, 31 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.919 barrel, there's no island that needs to stay standard in your backyard. 32 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.879 You can pull it in your shed or your backyard to just put a cover 33 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.120 over it. Yeah, and again I don't know what we're really allowed to 34 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.039 share regarding features coming because I know allowed it's supposed to be a surprise. 35 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.159 But I'm going to tell you the features of this.

Let's get into the next chapter going on, 120 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.680 Phil, you went to a competition. Last time we talked, we 121 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.319 did the podcast. You were heading to California, Yes, for a Famous 122 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.959 Days compas. Ye. And you're still trying to get the golden tickets. 123 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.439 Yeah, trying to get to the happen. Let's talk about this. What 124 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.279 happened? So, so I went out there. There was what how many 125 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.120 teams? Yeah? It was about six six six teams? Right. I 126 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.039 went out there and I was game game face, right, So I did 127 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.399 hear from Kyle. Kyle was like, yo, you know, I'll come 128 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.039 in and help, but blah blah blah. I was like, bro, 129 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.440 it's only like three turnings, Like how can I not make three turnings? 130 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.639 And he was focused. I was checking on him. Yeah, I'd see 131 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.840 some of his some of his stories. What you typically everybody does that you 132 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.919 got to you got the headphones on. He's not talking to nobody. I 133 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.080 know, I know, I know, Phil, you got the headphones on. 134 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.480 He was talking. I'm like, yo, get out of my way. 135 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.799 But but I already knew, you know, Barrow. And this is 136 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.759 what I always call out. You know, I get mad at myself when 137 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.519 or I get mad at comps when I feel like I did the best of 138 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:13.320 everything, and I get like low calls, right, but low scores. 139 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.919 But this this time, I knew exactly what I did. The chicken came 140 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.039 out. The texture was bad, you know, I left it in bad 141 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.360 and it was in mushy it was and it was because I left it in 142 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:33.519 my butter bath too long, so that butter started taking It was just chicken. 143 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.200 I did wings, and I didn't even put the wings in there because 144 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.240 they weren't even worse. They were worse. It was just in that butter 145 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.600 bath. And that was because there was so many steps at my wild card 146 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.240 that I was. I was setting alarms to come back, to do this, 147 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.519 to come back and being by myself, and then people coming in because 148 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.080 you were told in the beginning, it's like, hey, you know, 149 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.320 people really want to talk to you and they want to understand what you're doing. 150 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:01.720 I mean, you've seen the one in California. We did right on 151 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.200 the board walls three of us. Well I don't know, but I mean 152 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.000 some people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So so I was like, 153 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.240 you know, I can handle it. Once Chicken comes out, I'm gonna 154 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.480 put it in a box, Once ribs come out, I'm gonna put it 155 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.840 in a box. And wild cards. So these are thirty These are thirty 156 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.080 minute turnings. Yeah, it is this hour and a half, ninety minutes 157 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.919 and it takes you what, how long does it take you to put a 158 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.639 box together? Like wait, maybe like like cutting it and putting it, 159 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.799 placing it seven minutes, So you're already into like the next twenty minutes into 160 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.480 your next turnam right, especially ribs because now you're slicing and reglazing and do 161 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.159 it so and also building a whole wild card that you got to get in 162 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.639 and wild card which is it doesn't have to go into a box. Yeah, 163 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.000 you get a plotter. Yeah, and you have to decorate this plotters, 164 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.919 you know, Phil went with I did a Porterhouse pork shop with a 165 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.399 look sweet sweet potato bacon puree underneath, and then I did a brandy peach 166 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.679 barbecue sauce on top, and it was killing it was posted.

I kind of took two weeks off because I just had 169 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.799 a lot going on. But I got to get back to my social media. 170 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.120 That's one of the things that I wanted to do is post that picture. 171 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.759 Okay, hold, let's go back. So how'd you do in chicken? 172 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.879 Chicken was like fourth brook off and then I got two second place calls. 173 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.480 Would get ribs for second, and then my wild card was second. 174 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.240 So you know what if that Chicken was one of two? Yeah, yeah, 175 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.559 if it got too I would I would have I would have had to 176 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.759 go to ticket. I would had a ticket. And that's what I went 177 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.360 out there for. I didn't even want the cast. I wanted. I 178 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.759 noticed when because Famous Dave's post their results, and I noticed that wild card 179 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.480 plays a major factor. Yes, in your in your overall Yes, because 180 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.440 we were remember on our drive home when I did it first Chicken, first, 181 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.759 ribs, third, wild card and I got reserved. Yeah yeah, 182 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.120 you know, and then as you're studying these results, the wild card is 183 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.159 like so when he told me he hit second in wild card, remember it 184 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.600 might be all right, yo, because you remember. All right, let's 185 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.960 go back to the story because we ain't shared that part because it was two 186 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.960 weeks ago that it was coming back to me.

I go in there and then they have a special and it's downstairs. 412 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.799 Upstairs. Downstairs is more of like a barish rustic, but they have 413 00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.720 upstairs with a little more you know, swinky type deal with. There's a 414 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.359 bar, some seeds and it's dark, and they got the special all you 415 00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.759 could eat on Tuesday, dumplings.

So this was 424 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:52.920 deva phil I go, I go, this is not good. I go 425 00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.279 to the dude.

But 433 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.319 there was this guy sitting next to me. That's how you know he's serious. 434 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.720 You're standing up with us, this guy, this guy sitting next to 435 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.759 me. Noticing he's like, oh nice shoots, Oh nice shirt, Oh 436 00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:37.839 nice shirt.

Dude, this happens 473 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.720 all the time. I say, just some one time at the bar. 474 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.640 Happens all the time. I'm like, right now, I'm looking at you, 475 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.960 and you're first off, you're wearing true religion, but and you got 476 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:27.440 true religion short time. Firstly, i'd be like, where where did he 477 00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:32.640 find true religion? Still, and then you got Jordan's on that are matching 478 00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:36.599 the shirt with something. I'd be like, I just got questions. You're 479 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:41.319 gonna ask him a question, right, Like you have a personality and a 480 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:48.039 persona that is a magnet for questions. Yeah, but there's also sometimes like 481 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.880 dudes will come at him, like at him because he has Phil has a 482 00:31:52.079 --> 00:32:00.359 very large persona very large that makes people, makes people I would say intimidated, 483 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:05.319 but you could some people who aren't confident themselves or neither. It would 484 00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.400 be like, oh, whoa, you know, they get the little man 485 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.440 syndrome. They gotta they gotta go try to poke something. So I say 486 00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:14.279 that now we've had way too much Phil talk here. Yeah, I gotta 487 00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:20.880 transition. I'm uncomfortable. Listen to something else that I know is near and 488 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:22.920 near to your guys' heart. Memphis in May. And if you've seen the 489 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:29.720 news, but Memphis in May, who knows where it's going to be because 490 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:31.119 where it was at at the park that it was at, down by the 491 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:37.279 river. So they have they have, they created a lot of damage, 492 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:42.079 not like you know, like they're saying that there was damage done to the 493 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.720 ground and the tunes over a million dollars. Always it always is okay. 494 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:49.799 So here's the deal with Memphis in May competing there. It's always been on 495 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:53.720 the river, and it's always been on the river until they remodeled, uh 496 00:32:53.759 --> 00:33:00.039 and that and that was the first year that we competed Kyle at Memphis and 497 00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.920 it was at a fair grounds or something like that. And I like it 498 00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:08.440 because every time you compete it at the river it always rains, right, 499 00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:13.880 and when it rains and you're on grass, what does that have? It's 500 00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:16.880 mud. So now you're just just just by the lake, you got the 501 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:21.640 mud, you're traplin. I mean, it's it's a mess. Right. 502 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:27.519 So now that they remodeled down at the riverfront, now they put Memphis in 503 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.839 May back there last year, and of course you you're building all of these 504 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:37.440 big statues of of party stations, and then you got rain coming in and 505 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.960 people are dropping pellets and charcoal to just try to absorb a lot of this 506 00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:47.000 mud. Of course you're gonna have damages, but it's not really damages. 507 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:54.240 Like take a lawnmower, drive able lawnmower and grade that grass and recede like 508 00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:58.880 just put that And that's what people are. A lot of people are saying 509 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:04.400 that some Memphis may relate the statement. They released this to w rig which 510 00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:07.639 is a news outlet in Memphis. Most of the damages have been done in 511 00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:14.280 the past was fifty semi thousand dollars. So to go on from fifty thousand 512 00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:19.280 dollars to over one million is a shock to my colleagues and all stakeholders. 513 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.719 In Memphis. They go on to say the damages resulting from Memphis in May 514 00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:28.320 was assessed and confirmed by an independent arbitrator appointed by the City of Memphis and 515 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.800 charge the festival according to its least agreement. There's insurance claims going on, 516 00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:36.280 There's all these things, and then Memphis and May says that the damage resulting 517 00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:42.280 has really caused financial hardship for him. I mean, they got a one 518 00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:46.679 point four million dollars essentially, you know bill they gotta pay and insurance claims 519 00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:50.920 anybody else. So they haven't said that it's going to be the end of 520 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.559 Memphis in May or anything like that. They're just trying to figure out where 521 00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:59.639 they move. And also you gotta pa but you also got to settle up 522 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.559 on one for you know, insurance isn't gonna pay so much. So okay, 523 00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:07.800 well they charge all these teams I would say probably hundreds of thousands of 524 00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:12.159 works all that people, and some people didn't get this security deposit back, 525 00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.280 right, so that's got to be in the pot. But my thing is 526 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:21.239 this again, like we liked it there and we're the end user, right, 527 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.159 but the festival like have a vote, Like let's just go back to 528 00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:27.239 the fairgrounds, and let's do it at the fairgrounds. Forget that river walk, 529 00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.159 because here's the deal. When you have a standoff like that, that's 530 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:36.480 when you get attention because now you don't took you took away revenue from the 531 00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:39.840 downtown businesses that are used to having it, or even just the hotels in 532 00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:43.760 that area. I'm sure when they didn't have it the year before, they 533 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:46.239 were crying. Yeah, you know what I mean. So so now like 534 00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:50.000 yo, that's how you do it. You don't go back, you say, 535 00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.760 Okay, you know what, keep your little stadium. I'm going back 536 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.800 to where we were before. And I just hope they getting figured out because 537 00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:59.960 it's a great competition, it's great for the local economy. You want to 538 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.840 ready to get it figured out, I mean, And I'll go from there. 539 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:10.760 So we also need to talk about another thing coming that is, shall 540 00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.519 we say, in the works. You guys have some new rubs coming out. 541 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:20.000 Yeah, let's talk about that a little bit. Like I'm excited because 542 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:24.320 I have tried. I had when we did our one year anniversary party at 543 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:30.519 Barbecue Island. You made some wings, Kyle, using your new rub, 544 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.440 and oh my gosh, they were great. Where are we standing on it, 545 00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.519 and then Phil, I love you, But you've been talking about fruit 546 00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:45.480 fly rub or whenever you call that. You've been talking about the new rubs 547 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:47.920 and the sauce is like boys, I mean, you don't have to throw 548 00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:53.639 anybody under the bus. But I know a certain company that uses the same 549 00:36:53.679 --> 00:37:00.519 cold packer you use and their rubs have been taken for ever. So are 550 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:02.280 there other co packers you can go with? They bounced, they left old 551 00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:07.119 world and they went to there's a place called internet something. I don't know 552 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:09.199 what, So can you guys do that? I'm good. Mine's coming out 553 00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:13.719 in like two weeks, so yours is coming out in two weeks maybe less, 554 00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:19.000 maybe less. Yeah, all labels are approved, the ingredients are done. 555 00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:22.239 They just gotta put it in bottles and so when when? When? 556 00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:24.760 And where? Week and a half two weeks I'll have it. And can 557 00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:28.559 you are you comfortable saying what it is? Yeah, it's a hot honey 558 00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:32.000 garlic rub. Hot honey garlic what should be used on everything? So I 559 00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:36.079 recently just did ribs with it. I've done it with fish, I've done 560 00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:39.480 it with a bunch of things. Dude, put it on salmon. I 561 00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:43.079 don't know what about that? Are you a salmon fan? No? I 562 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:46.199 hate salmon. Okay, so I don't like it on salmon, but yeah, 563 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.559 no, you can literally put it on everything. That's the reason we're 564 00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.760 coming. It's coming out with everything due to be out and then Phil all 565 00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.800 right, so my rubs is still in the works. We need trouble with 566 00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:01.559 it. No, I'm just waiting for it to go through the process of 567 00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:07.639 the company. Right. But the reason why I'm not really pushing them so 568 00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:12.159 hard is because I'm good with the timeline they gave me, which is going 569 00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.119 to probably be September October. September isn't two weeks, yeah no, but 570 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:21.199 like September. So basically what they do for me is they bring my product 571 00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:24.920 to the buyers. So not only do the package my goods, right do 572 00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:29.000 they bring it to the buyers and then they show so so they're trying to 573 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:32.360 do they're trying to work your distribution. Yeah so so once so basically they 574 00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:37.599 sit down with all new buyers around that time in November, and my product 575 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.920 is going to be one of the showcases. And so one of those showcases, 576 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.079 they'll have it ready for that next showcase for next year. That's when 577 00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:45.599 they'll buy all of this stuff for next year. So I'm good with that 578 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:50.880 part of it. Now the great part. I've got some samples that I've 579 00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:55.360 been using on my steaks, and every steak that I have used my new 580 00:38:55.880 --> 00:39:00.199 but a blackout rup has been over fifty in taste, over fifty in taste. 581 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:07.559 And then and then and then I got second at Famous Days and and 582 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:13.880 and uh used that on your I used the fruit fly, uh fire fire 583 00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:21.360 frou fire fruit fire fruit fire. It's got this firefly stuck in fruit flies. 584 00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:23.679 So are you having any no troubles with the co packer? Yeah, 585 00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:28.039 it's okay. So here's don't want to no, no, no, here's 586 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.639 the deal. I get it. The company was sold and it was older 587 00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:37.679 uh company, right, meaning that you know, they probably still had doctor 588 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:44.039 Matrix like printing invoices and stuff like that. So now there's a new younger 589 00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.119 group that came in. And so now the younger group and the new group 590 00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:52.559 is trying to work together and a lot of the older ones are having issues, 591 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.039 you know, condating, adapting, you know, so they're having growing 592 00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.599 pains with the new change. But there's nothing but good things coming out of 593 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.440 it. You just got to be patient because now they have source companies, 594 00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:09.840 they have a lot more a lot more buyers. So your rubs are they 595 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:13.880 gonna come? They're gonna come in a box. I'm working on that. 596 00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:23.400 Oh yeah, the Trio Triffected effected Triffected. No, they come in singles, 597 00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:28.119 but I'm working on putting them in as a package. Yep, that'll 598 00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:32.559 be awesome. And I'm hoping to have that on shows by holidays giving here 599 00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.519 before we know it. So it's crazy. It's almost September, Septembers and 600 00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:44.440 yo, because I had some time to watch some TV and they're showing like 601 00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:47.719 Christmas episodes. Yeah, I'm like Christmas episode. Yeah, I mean Hallmark 602 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:52.199 Channel will charge Christmas. Raid to walk into a Walmart because I'm sure they're 603 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:54.000 already blacked. They have they haven't put up Christmas yet, at least that 604 00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.280 I've seen in Walmart's or costcos you like that. But they do have the 605 00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:00.039 Halloween stuff up, and it's hard to it in Halloween. I understand. 606 00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:04.920 Halloween is just started this year.

That 697 00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:37.760 is what I will think of is how bad he looked and out of shape 698 00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.199 and just getting crushed.
