So we're 5 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.719 going to give him the room in space that he needs for that. I 6 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.920 actually texted him well not too long ago. We'll talk about it. I 7 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.000 don't know how much he wants.

Okay, 16 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.920 like, people don't have my cell phone numbers are on restaurantroom wall. 17 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.680 Every restaurant wall there we go alright, are we gonna talk cooking here? 18 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.159 Are you all gonna nerd out? Am I just gonna sit here and look 19 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.120 pretty well? You got part of it right? You're just gonna sit there. 20 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.280 Yeah, we are gonna nerd out because if you listen to the show, 21 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.319 you follow on social media, you know my hobby is cooking, baby, 22 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:42.079 particularly smoking thanks to grill Master's supply at the fireplace, and won't bringing 23 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.959 the hog Fathers. They are the best at what they do. They cook 24 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.359 for us at the fireplace and grill Master's supply when we do our live shows. 25 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.560 Uh as I bring in Scott and my buddy Moultin. Uh, good 26 00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.000 morning guys. How you doing great? Okay? So every time out almost 27 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.400 every time, somebody comes up and says, hey, see you're smoking. 28 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.120 We'd love to get into smoking, grilling, cooking. Where do I go? 29 00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:12.759 And I always recommend grow masters supply. And you guys actually have started 30 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.479 clinics up there, for lack of a better term, I guess are they 31 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.039 clinics? Is that what it is? Well, they're actually barbecue class classes. 32 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.639 Okay, so they're classes and everyone that I've been up there They've been 33 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.199 spectacular because they cover things that people are really interested in and like, for 34 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.800 example, or brisket. Would that be the toughest thing to smoke in your 35 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:39.280 opinion? Yeah, it's the king of barbecue. Yeah, so you need 36 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.840 a little practice because you can screw it up pretty easily. Right. But 37 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.879 I went through one of your all classes. I was there. What do 38 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.039 you call when you monitor or audit a class? Yeah? I audited a 39 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.840 class for a little bit and you really get into the details, which is 40 00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.639 needed. But who do we have coming in this Saturday, May eleventh? 41 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.159 The Grill Masters supply it's uh, he's a nine time world champion. He's 42 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.919 a nine Yeah. His name is Chris Marks. He is He's been in 43 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.639 barbecue for his whole life. His parents were one of the founding members of 44 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.560 the k CBS, so he's been around it forever. He's won every award, 45 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:21.000 he's won the big you know, Kansas City Royal. So he knows 46 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.759 what he's talking about. But I tell you what he brings to the table 47 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.439 is, you know, you can go on YouTube and everybody's trying to show 48 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.719 you how you know to do competition style, and competition style is so different 49 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.400 from your backyard. You're looking for that one perfect bite, that perfect presentation. 50 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.479 And what Chris does is he breaks this down real simple, keeps you 51 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.719 away from the mistakes, shows you how to do just good old fashioned pitt 52 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:52.639 barbecue, you know, for your friends and family. And so he takes 53 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.439 a lot of the you know, he takes a lot of the fluff out 54 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.120 of it and uh and breaks it down, makes it really easy for you 55 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.280 to understand and turn out Grey Barber. So when you're in one of these 56 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.360 competitions, what's the payoff, like if you're a nine time world champion, 57 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.000 any idea on what the payoff might be for this guy? Yes? Yes, 58 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:15.960 So some of these competitions, it takes a good bit of money to 59 00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:21.360 even enter the competition. It's like five thousand dollars for the Kansas City Royal 60 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:28.720 or we've heard thirty five thousand dollars for Memphis in May, and the payoff 61 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:33.600 is a big twenty five thousand bucks if you went. Okay, but it's 62 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.240 not about winning the money. It's about the name recognition. It's it a 63 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.800 job, absolutely, yeah, it's a really good job. Yeah, it 64 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.399 is a job. Okay, I say that because you know twenty years ago. 65 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.680 You know, one of my buddies was like, he said, I 66 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.959 said, what your kid doing now? He was like, he's running a 67 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.079 skateboard and I go, oh, man, I'm sorry. He goes, 68 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.480 no, no, he's making three times would I make it? He's got 69 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.879 sponsors and you know, all over a skateboard. Is this sort of the 70 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.680 same thing that like twenty you know, like this thing, this thing is 71 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:09.519 exploded the last decade and the competitions are everywhere, and it's insanely competitive. 72 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.279 And is it enough money for some money like an eighteen and ninety year old 73 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.160 to say, this is my passion, I want to try to make enough 74 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.319 living to do it. Or is this sort of all for fun? I 75 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:24.279 suspect if you had sponsors. Yes, yeah, you don't have sponsors. 76 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.879 Everything is out of pockets. Yeah right, yeah. So, and that's 77 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.000 what winning a competition like that brings. It brings sponsorships, it brings name 78 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.639 recognition. Everybody's got a spice and a sauce that they start labeling and bottling. 79 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.560 So yeah, it can. It can absolutely be, you know, 80 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.000 be a full time thing. And for a lot of people, it is 81 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.079 a lot of the people that go there they've got restaurants and they've got you 82 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.839 know, different things, and so this really amps them up and gets their 83 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.519 name out there nationally. And then like I said, their items go on 84 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.879 sale, you know, on Amazon whatever, and so yeah, it can 85 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:03.519 absolutely NASCAR teams like and I don't know what you all think of Daniel's spices, 86 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.920 but he started in little that's a local guy. Like if he could, 87 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.199 it's like Ford versus Chevy and all that. Like dan O Team of 88 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.839 Barbaria. You know, dan O Team of Smokers. He you know that 89 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.399 guy. He seems like a very nice guy. Of interviewed him separate times. 90 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.720 If he said, I want to put together the dream Team, it's 91 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:25.240 gonna be the Daniels and we're gonna go nationwide and crush everybody. That would 92 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.319 be like the idea, right, that would absolutely yeah, and dan O 93 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.000 you know what you know Dano season. We actually this past weekend we had 94 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.480 our Derby Party or Crawfish Boil, and we smoked chicken and that's what we 95 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.160 used in our chicken. Brian, you know, salt and sugar and trying 96 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.240 to look through you can't seem to find my invitation to your off that was 97 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.800 by desire. You're a celebrity. You had der so you cooked shrimp up. 98 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:58.360 We cooked no crawfish, crawfish crawfish. We did twenty pounds to pull 99 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:03.279 chicken, thirty some pounds of pull pork. Budan we made five years. 100 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:10.319 What's boudan? It's Budan's okay, what's budan? It's a Louisiana sausage that's 101 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:16.560 stuffed. Oh yeah, rice dressing and oh that sounds you know. Tony 102 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.759 and Dwye we both like Derby parties. Just looking forward to twenty twenty five. 103 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.959 But anyway, we're talking with the hog Fathers. Grill Masters Supply is 104 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.639 the place Saturday. This is coming Saturday, September eleventh. They're gonna be 105 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.759 doing a class on butts and briskets. Nine time world champion Chris Mark's going 106 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.199 to be there. So what is world champion? It's literally people getting in 107 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.319 this competition from all over the world, right, I mean that's a pretty 108 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.079 big arena. So that that particular championship that he's got, the America Royal, 109 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.920 you have had to have won. It's an you know, it's it's 110 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:55.439 based on having won before. So the people that are competing there. It's 111 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.199 not an invitational. I mean it is an invitation. You have to have 112 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.560 been the asked to go to this, so it's not open for just anybody, 113 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.040 kind of like the super Bowl or barbecue. Yeah. Wow, So 114 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.560 you are competing with people who are great. You know. The guy who 115 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.480 loses there is a phenomenal pit master, you know. So oh yeah, 116 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:22.560 so okay, I watched the gymnastics. Seems very subjective on how they score 117 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:28.519 all this stuff, so it's frustrating. It's frustrating for a lot of ice 118 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.759 skating same way. You're like, wow, that girl was better than anybody 119 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:37.559 else. She got a four point oh three point zero. Each judging section 120 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.080 is is kind of it's not you're shaking your head. Yes, you agree, 121 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.279 it's at some point there is no part of checkbox and and this is 122 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.919 all the guy that's tasting it and up to him or her. Absolutely, 123 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:58.840 there's there's nine criteria that they look at and at the end of the time, 124 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.799 it is all subject right, right, subjective right, yes, so, 125 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.480 and it's all depending on the taste buds of that particular judge, right, 126 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.720 and and some of these it's multiple judging, so you turn in a 127 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:18.720 blind box they taste it. Then they come to your event. It's your 128 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.320 tent, and you've got to convince them and sell them on the fact that 129 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.480 this is worthy of a call, and a call is gonna I'm going to 130 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.720 arrive in the top ten somewhere. And it all gets very subjective. I 131 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.440 remember two years ago the general here in Kentucky of barbecue, Stephen Bowles and 132 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:50.440 Brett Weatherby, invited me to be a judge at a barbecue competition at Cabins 133 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.320 Quarters. I said, well, I'm not qualified to tell you. You 134 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.440 are I gotta tell you. I felt so horrible judging on this. Everything 135 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.399 tasted great. Everybody take two people could take It's the same piece, right 136 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.080 and taste two different things. It's the same thing. What god rest is 137 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.279 so Tom sober with comedy caravan. I was like, Tom, why don't 138 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:16.960 you hold a Funniest Person in Louisville competition? He said, because it's subjective. 139 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.320 Comedy is subjective. They might be funny one person and not funny the 140 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.759 other person. I guess that's your palette. I might like, I'm interested 141 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.440 in the pitch, though. So they come to your tent and then you've 142 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.519 got to say this is how I prepared it. This is how I prepared 143 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.159 it. This is the smoker I prepared it on and they've got it all 144 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:39.360 decked out, you know, with all kinds of you know, pineapples and 145 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.159 you know, all kinds of stuff to make it look pretty. You you're 146 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.360 supposed to help yourself, But can you screw yourself over in that tent? 147 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.120 You could screw yourself over in that tent. So okay, I'm getting get 148 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.600 a little excited about this because this seems like this is a TV show, 149 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.360 right, this is a TV show, man, It needs to be a 150 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.879 TV show. Was think is smoking and barbecuing? Is it ought to be? 151 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.639 Yeah? Okay, we're talking with the Hogfathers. Join them. This 152 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.200 Saturday, May eleventh, there's going to be a class with nine time world 153 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.000 champion Chris Marks. It's gonna be on butts and briskets. Mata, what 154 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.360 do you think briskets? It's the favorite thing that by my wife whenever I 155 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.799 say I will smoke a brisket, the in laws, everybody, they love 156 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.960 it. And it took work to get it down. I will admit that. 157 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.559 So Attendant, I do recommend this class. But what do you think 158 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.360 in your opinion is the biggest mistake when smoking a brisket, because that's the 159 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.879 biggest challenge in it smoking as a brisket. You can cook a brisket perfectly. 160 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.919 You can trim it perfectly, you can season it perfectly, you can 161 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.960 put it on the smoker. You can do everything perfect. But if you 162 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.799 don't rest that, if you take that brisket off and you cut it immediately, 163 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.399 all the juices are going to run out. It's going to be dry. 164 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.120 It's going to be terrible. The most important thing is to rest the 165 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.639 brisket afterwards. I usually wrap mine in beach towels and then throw it down 166 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.240 in a cooler after I've throw some boiling water in there and emptied it out. 167 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.399 Well, can you cool it too fast? Then? Oh no, 168 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.240 you don't put ice in it.

Then i'll empty out the hot water, 172 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.399 and my brisket's wrapped in beach towels, and I'll throw it down that cooler 173 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.759 and shut it for five six hours.

You know, earlier today I heard of Tony 218 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.240 Cruz interview I think with an ABC reporter, but she they were going over 219 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.159 how brand loyalty isn't a thing that it's changed in the last couple of years, 220 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.120 and it's simply because people are tired of getting taken advantage of. One 221 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.440 of the brands that is seen that is Starbucks, which people were I mean 222 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.320 crazy about going to Oh I have to go to Starbucks, and because they've 223 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.600 gone so expensive, McDonald's is the same way, they're just like, no, 224 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.600 I'm out, I'm going to go to the competitor or whoever's got the 225 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:14.120 better price. Exactly. We're seeing it with like store brands. You know, 226 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:19.080 people are buying They're not buying the name brand cereals or laundry detergents. 227 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.799 They're buying the store brands just because it's cheaper, and you know, with 228 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:29.639 inflation spiking the way it did, that's what they're doing. Although you still 229 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.759 see some companies like Procter and Gamble have said, nah, price hikes have 230 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.759 work. They haven't lost volume. People are still buying tide in pamps right, 231 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.240 so they are actually gonna raise prices again. But you do see that 232 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.759 indeed, and Starbucks really did see it saw its first drop in sales in 233 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.399 four years. Probably the pandemic helped with that too, because you couldn't go 234 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.679 out for Starbucks every day, so you got out of the habit. So 235 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.879 people are doing stuff like that, you know, making their coffee at home 236 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:04.359 and doing what they can to save a little money. Howard Schultz, Starbucks's 237 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:11.279 former CEO, this weekend, posted on LinkedIn that Starbucks has to get back 238 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:18.079 to customer service and has to reform its mobile ordering and online services, and 239 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.200 that's what will help it. There are certain things that I will stick to 240 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.119 you. I think you're right and that what you just describe, you're correct. 241 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.640 Like I will stick with some of the brands. Apple can't. I 242 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:32.079 can't not do Apple, my laptop, my iPad, my iPhone, my 243 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.160 watch. It's all. I'm done. You're in your ecosystem exactly. But 244 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:42.079 the grocery store, oh, it's been joan, they said they. Now 245 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:48.200 I did read either Friday or today that grocery prices are starting to come down. 246 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.200 But it's you know, in large part because people will vote with their 247 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.759 wallets. And if that happens, you know, people stop buying, then 248 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.319 well maybe Procter and Gamble will have a change. If people don't buy, 249 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.799 you know, if they're buying off brand laundry detergent. Yeah, a pound 250 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:10.559 of ham eleven dollars a pound of well ground beef, ground beef, it 251 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.400 was eleven dollars. Like Jackie picked up yesterday and was like, because we're 252 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.359 gonna make tacos. And I was like, no, I'm not doing eleven 253 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:22.240 dollars a pound of beef. I'll figure out exactly. Well it we'll have 254 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.160 hot dogs, we'll have something else, exactly, And like a pound of 255 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.039 beef is going to make it in our house for taco nine that's for one 256 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.279 persons, exactly. I understand. I know. I was in the grocery 257 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.880 store yesterday and saw and it was just the regular grocery store, not Costco 258 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.160 or anything else, and saw, oh, three ninety nine for a package 259 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.160 of three ninety nine pounds for a package of ground beef. And I was 260 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.839 like, oh yeah, oh wait, no, that's awful because it used 261 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:52.039 to be two. You know, it went completely it's yes, yeah, 262 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.119 yeah, it's it's it's amazing pound package. It's wow, it's amazing. 263 00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.960 Stuff has gone up. But I hope the grocery store come downs for sure, 264 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.160 all right, And the markets are all in the green right now, 265 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:04.359 not up by much, but up. Yeah, they've rolled back to the 266 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.200 size of their gains, but they're still positive, kind of drifting higher. 267 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.680 No data really to guide directions, so hey, why not enjoy? Right? 268 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.720 The Dow is up forty four, the NASDAC one hundred and six, 269 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.880 the S and P up twenty eight. Those are gains of a tenth to 270 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.319 about two thirds of a percent.
