Welcome to don't drop the tongs. We're back, yeah a little, I
want say vacation. I think we were on a midlife crisis. I think
me. I think I'm gonna blame I'm gonna blame this because Barrel was on
a midlife crisis. A midlife crisis, it's called barrel was working like a
crazy man. And also I love how Kyle's like, oh, tries to
blame me. I went back and looked at our group thread. There was
a day I believe it was two weeks ago. Phil said, can anyone
do Wednesday? And I said our Tuesday. I said I can't, I
can do Wednesday. And we never heard from Kyle. So he always wants
to blame. No, no, no, no no, because I let
you YouTube Prima Donna's figure it out what time? And then you just tell
me and I'll put a pause in my day and come down here and do
the damned to pause. Yeah, you need to put YouTube, figure it
out. You just tell me the time, and I'm not all of us.
I think you, bro, I think you had like a touch.
You know, you ain't see him working like a dog, you slipt,
You ain't see it working. You ain't see I see the watch. I
see him at the pizzaia, I see him on stage. We have my
phone out, I have my phone up and ready to say. If Eric
Church was the secret show artist and Marylyn didn't let us know about that we
brought, I would have went off. Yeah, I got a good story
about that. Bro. No, I don't want to know. I want
to hear a barrel story because I heard there was a blooper on stage at
that secret show. What was that about a blooper on stage? Did you
lose your barrel or you said the wrong name or the wrong state? Like
what was going on? I saw some kind of something saying oh no,
no, no no. I know you're saying no. I didn't say no
no. This was funny. So we we introduced the artist. The artist.
If you don't know what we're talking about, my radio station work for
it does what's called a secret show where we don't tell you who the artist
is that you're going to see until the artist walks on stage. It is
a a level country artist playing in a super tiny venue like fifteen hundred people
general mission style show, but again you don't know who you're seeing until the
curtain goes up. So we go out to do the introduction and two of
my co hosts so we can get good audio for playback in a video,
have a clip mic on You're like a live mic, and they introduced the
artist and the crowd goes crazy. The artist was Thomas Rhett. The crowd
goes crazy. Everything is awesome. We're getting ready to walking off stage.
Thomas comes on stage and in the video that we posted that also our corporate
retweeted the last thing you hear before the video goes off, you can hear
me. I got caught on a live mic on somebody's live mic and goes,
shit, they like that one here as a day. But it's just
it's well, I mean, you're not supposed to swear, you know.
I mean that's one of the It's like, damn, this barrel is hot,
ship barrels hot, taboo words. And I was like, live mic,
live mike, yo, this this back, this barrels chasing my ball,
shaping my balls. That would have been yeah, if barrel would have
said something like that, Okay, I get it, but not like that.
What I don't see that. It was fun, No, nobody had.
Toby was mad about it. It was. I was like, live
Michael, you're not paying attention. You're not paying attention. You didn't even
know he was busy. That's why I'm calling it out. Is there controversy
over there? That wasn't really controversy. I called myself out of it.
He got he got five he got fined five thousand dollars f CC fine,
fun thousands. Won't let me be if you say that on trust your radio.
Oh absolutely, you're getting fine. For sure you're gonna find one.
But thankfully it wasn't interrestrial, so I'm good. Yeah, but that was
that the aliens. So, Kyle, you said that you have a first
story. I want to hear this. Yeah, so check this out.
So last weekend was what do you call it was Country Thunder out here,
right, yeah, And everybody here is like, you're gonna get slammed.
You're gonna get slammed. And I keep telling people. I'm like, look,
I've been to Country Thunder for fifteen years, right, fifteen years straight.
I still got my tickets. I haven't gone in the last three And
I was like, it's a camping festival, So I load a trailer full
of everything I could possibly ever need. For five days. Once I get
to camp, I don't leave. I went into the town of Florence probably
twice in my fifteen years that I was out there. That's why I was
telling people, and they're like, nope, you're gonna get slammed. You're
gonna get slammed. And it was slow, so we didn't get a lot
of country thunder traffic, but we he had a So I was telling the
staff. I was like, look, anybody walks in here, everybody just
chill out, let the people eat, and then you want to ask him
for a picture later, ask him for a picture later. So he had
like one dude came in. I had no clue who he was, but
he was like, I mean, he was majorly hitting on one of the
waitresses, just all just all about it, just going to town. And
she keeps coming back to me like damn this guy blah blah blah, tell
me all this stuff. Anyways, so then she he finds out that she's
only seventeen and then that stopped. Whoa yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah Carol, And I probably led with that. You know, that's how
guys get charged. Yeah, Well, she's the person that works here.
She's very bubbly. She's like one of our top waitresses. She's very outgoing.
People just love her. And I always get stopped by people and they're
like, hey, that waitress is an asset, you know, they just
they love this girl. So he was the country artist was like gasting her
up, like, oh man, I got my own golf cart. I'll
pick you up in the golf cart. I could take you out to country
other we could drive around. And she's telling me this. I'm like,
come on, man, he's it's a golf cart. I was like,
I don't even know who the dude is. So we found his social media.
Some be a see artist that plays on like a center or a side
stage. Oh see, all right, yeah, we don't want to out
anybody, but yeah, I mean here was it nobody crazy? Well though,
those things happen more than you would think where we're not going to,
yes, but Baryl, you and I, You and I have had this
conversation about artists, bands and other things, about what they eat, like
the weirdness of what people eat. Oh yeah, you mean, are you
talking like weird requests? They have weird requests or like a lot of them,
which I didn't know A lot of them are vegan. So here,
I think a lot of times an artist will say that they're vegan, or
they'll say that they have all sorts of crazy dietary restrictions. Yeah, I
mean, yeah, sometimes they are vegan. But sometimes you'll have artists that
I'll say they have crazy dietary restrictions. So therefore the food is actually made
fresh, versus saying yeah, I'll eat whatever. Yeah, and your guy
goes out and gets you something, and you're you're getting walking food poisoning,
right, you know what I mean, You're getting you're getting having the ships
on the road ain't for exactly, so you say hey, and again there
are some of them that are. But it's it's something where you're like,
hey, you know, I'm I'm this, So therefore you're getting it made
fresh. You're getting it actually with hair put into it, versus getting something
to gets slapped in a box that bounces around the back of a truck until
you eat it and then you're on stage with the squirts. Yeah. Well
so this guy, this guy, this country artist whatever he was with the
guy who owns all the property at Country Thunder, who rents out to Country
Thunder. Yeah, and then there's like a country Thunder CEO, which I
didn't know that existed, but I guess that's anyways, So it was them
two and the country artists. They were all eating, and I kept getting
these special requests on these tickets, like there was a smoke chicken sandwich but
no no seasoning, just chicken, no bun, and like it was just
a list, and I'm like, what the hell is this? So anyways,
I found all that out. So it's kind of slow, and Eric
Church's tour bus breaks down probably a mile maybe a mile or a mile and
a half from the restaurant. So the band, all the band got out
and they started walking downtown Florence, right, And I'm good friends with this
girl out here. She owns a like a boutique, a chick boutique show.
Yeah you're saying that, Yeah, the Desert Honeys. She's friends with
Double l Okay. Well, she was telling me, she's like, hey,
Eric Church is walking around on the streets. I'm like, yeah,
okay, good call. And uh, anyways, I guess he So there's
video of the man himself with his kids and his wife walk by the restaurant.
Come by again, Eric Church opens the handle door of the Bone,
looks inside, and we're packed at this time, it's like four point thirty.
It's dinner crowd for all the older people. And he looks inside,
shuts the door and leaves. It's too busy. Can you imagine that?
Yeah? I mean, but here's the deal, bro. Yeah, Okay,
it'd been great to have him in there, but guess well, bro,
problem, it's a bad problem to have. It's a bad problem to
have that your restaurant was sol slammed out and you're making money because guess what,
his money's just as green as those people's money, and they see we're
going to come back time and time ago. So yes, it would have
been amazing to have him erk, but it also really bad had Eric Church
walked in and there at anybody in there. Yeah. True, But I
have it on video, so I gotta I gotta buddy that owns a pizza
place out here, so you have you actually have him open the video video
on video with his hat and those damn glasses, Barrel with his wife and
his two kids. Barrel. I haven't posted yet. I don't want to
post it because no, because I don't want to do that. Send me
the video because I'm curious about this glasses thing because he generally doesn't wear the
glasses. Yes, the Eric, sure he had the glass. It might
not have been him, but I'm almost positive it is. Hey, send
it to me. I'll let you know, because maybe you got du impersonator.
I don't know, but uh my buddy at the pizza place, he
was he fed jelly Roll and his whole band with all these flat bread,
weird artesian pizza requests at like eleven thirty or midnight on Saturday night or Sunday
night, Saturday. What did I tell you? I know, I know
he was telling me about that, and I was like, the Post Post.
He was telling me the same thing. It's the Post show man,
and they usually try to get something a lot of times. Pizza is a
common thing because let's be real, you can eat pizza coal. And also
it's pizza's pizza, right, you know what I mean, Like bad pizza.
Bad pizza is bad pizza. But you know, bad pizza is better
than a lot of things. So yeah, I'm curious. I want to
see the video. But good, I'm glad. I'm glad you survived it.
So well. One more thing, we you're behind barbecue, Birds and
Bones one small Business of the Year in Florence, Arizona. Well there's what
three, But you hain't even been opened a year. That's no. But
if I was like twenty years and you came in in like three months and
I would have something, I would I got a lot of hate on on
on social media about it, a lot of hate people like these people have
been opening for two months and y'all are giving it to them. So many
businesses in Florence and this and that. I'm just well, like, what
do you say to that? Like, I didn't. I didn't pay for
it. I didn't vote for it. The Chamber of Commerce and the businesses
vote for who is the small business of the air. It's not like it's
a political You paid for it, That's what That's what I'm saying. I
didn't pay for nothing. Like what you what do you pay for it?
You me for winning? Like, what do you do you You paid for
it? Exactly? You didn't vote for it. Well, I didn't get
to vote, I know. So you know, didn't you fight with all
of the congress people in your town? Yep? You the congress people,
so yo, the council and all the yo. So what you gave them?
What did you give them? What you gave I didn't know those guys
eat here. I've never even seen them in here eating. I've never seen
the mayor in here eating. Is that it ain't the mayor of Florence,
that's what That's what I heard. I don't know. I don't know what
you're talking about. Move on from that microphone broke out, But anyways,
that's it. That's my life. Well all right, so let's get let's
move on to one other thing. We're gonna get an updated on how Birds
and Bones is doing. You are what almost two months in? Yeah?
You still enjoying it? Yeah? Yeah, you still slam. Still gotta
wait every day, Yeah, still gotta still gotta wait. It's uh,
but lunchtime is insane here. Dinner is getting even worse. Now, not
worse, but I mean busy, we're cooking more. Refrigerator space is killing
me. I mean it's absolutely just killing me. We have a vault here,
since none of you two have ever been here in eight besides Phil,
Phil has been here, but he has an eight. That's what I was
telling me the other day. Thanks for coming on. Well, no offense.
I'm kind of out of my bubble. Yeah, got it. So
there's a vault here. This place used to be a bank. There's a
vault, do you ghost? Look like we're looking to try to turn that
into a walk in because I need I need freserator space, need it outside.
You should put it outside. No, bro, we got a patio.
If you've ever been here, you'd see that. You mean it with
the wheelchairs, with the hula hoops on it so the handicap could pull itself
up. Yeah, I saw it. I saw it. I saw it
being made. No, life is good here. It's good. It's busy.
It's I'm just busy every day. Well good, I'm glad that you
are busy. I'm glad things going well. Have you had any employee issues.
You're two months in you had to uh we fired two of them.
You fired too, Well, that's employees you have been fired. You're a
month. I hope that wasn't Pop's girlfriend. It's not Pop's girlfriend. I
don't know what is why you why you say, like Ronald Rey, get
it out of the door. I don't know anything. I know what you
know about? Anyways, Moving on, all right, So we got to
get to a couple of things here now. Phil, I feel as if
though you have been talking about new things coming from Phil to grill, rubs,
sauces, everything for I don't know, three years, two or three
years. We've been doing this podcast for almost two years, coming on the
fourth of July weekend, So two years we've been hearing about you having new
sauces, rubs, et cetera coming. And I saw something on our friends
of Barbecue Island's Instagram. Yeah, you gotta the new rubbout drop some tong
brother, So they got one rub Okay, So what's the worst thing you
could do on like somebody you're digging right, you know, you know,
you're on a date, you were digging in somebody or whatever, and she's
like, oh yeah, I'll come out with you, blah blah blah,
y'all get a little bit touchy Philly and then she's like, all right,
I gotta go home or she'll give you a little something. But okay,
but that's what they're doing to me with my rubs, bro Like dropping one
at a time. So it's like, I don't really want to go public
public with it because I have three coming out all together. It's going to
be the drive you want that rub to sell, right, Yes, but
like they're dropping out like not in like it's like every two weeks, so
they're testing whether or not you're putting pushing the product. No, it's already
a done deal. They just need it's already packaged. It's already a done
deal. Now my thoughts is on the other hand, that part, Yeah,
it's it's a I'm actually investing in that because I can't deal with you
know, like how long it's taken. But yeah, I've been pushing the
same thing for two years. But I do have Triple O G, which
is my original rubb Me all over. Rub Me all Over is not a
name of one rub anymore. It's actually a part of a series. So
you have Triple O G. That's my all purpose rub. Uh. The
only thing I did to that was grind down the Italian seasoning so you don't
see those green leaf flakes that would used to be in there. So it's
like a regular barbecue rup, you know what I mean. So, and
that's my all purpose. And then I have for chicken and pork, I
have fruit. So you're about to have me say fruitflies, fruit flying I
got fruit Flyer and that's what Barbecue Island has. Barbecue Island has fruit Flyer
and that's for like pork and chicken and it has heavy apple and Hallo peno
on it. That's a good one. Is there any Is that the only
place you can buy it? Like, I'm sure like A's and stuff,
I haven't even checked. I'm waiting for this last one is my I love
it on beef. It's butter butter Blackout. It's butter garlic and Blackout is
the Worcestershire that's in there. And man, now I'm going to drop the
tons on a little something because I'm I'm I'm like a little bit up set
right and here I might start something with this show right here. All right,
I'm a little bit upset that it's taking so long to get this last
one drop. Right. They told me it was the date of the seventeenth
of April that it was coming off the we're talking about now, I'm not
going to drop that part. If you know, you know, If you
don't, you don't. So so they told me that it was like,
okay, cool, it's going to come out on the seventeenth, Now,
I have smoke Slam. We'll get into that in a little bit. They
have a store and they're waiting on a product before me, so they can
you know, set up shop and sell my rubs while I'm out there or
whatever. This last rub seventeenth and I still don't see a link to buy.
They haven't shifted. So I emailed and I was like, Yo,
what's up. It's like, oh yeah, it's dropping. It already went
through production. We got to create a link. It's you know, ready
to be shipped. Now I got to go into it. Here's the drama,
right. I don't know if they're holding me off on that because one
of my competitors has from the same distribution company, has a new rub called
but a Garlic coming out and it says coming soon on their website. Guess
what. Mine is not even posted coming soon, doesn't say anything. One
of your competitors, one of my barbecue competitors. I'm not going to call
out names, Brody, I'm not calling it out names. If you do
your homework and you listen to podcast, you'll be able to figure it out
pretty easily. But one of my barbecue competitors has a rub coming out and
it's called And the only reason I know this is because I went to the
website right and I was like, yo, did they create the link yet?
You know it's that product, you know ready? And I didn't see
a link for mine, but I've seen a link for his saying coming soon
but a garlic. They like dropping these like albums like, oh, well,
say something. I'm not I don't have a big deal. I don't.
I would have said, send me my product. We could release it,
you know, a month later. I don't care. But I'm like,
bro, like really like, same company, same product coming out that
at the same time. He might be mad at me. I caught it
first because I saw his product. But wait till he sees that I got
the same thing. He's going to say feel the same way, Like did
y'all nicks ingridio. No. I just I saw this, like maybe like
two hours ago. I just did. Just happened. It just happened where
I saw the link and it said coming soon butter garlic. And then when
I went to fill the grill, it only has my two rubs, triple
og and fruit for fire right fruit fly. Because Barrel got me wanting to
say that, yeah, it doesn't say nothing about but no one said nothing.
Nobody said anything about buttery blackout, and it's not even on it,
you know what I mean, coming soon or nothing. So I'm just a
little bit curious if it's going to cost some contributing. So what's the drama.
The drama is there's one distribution company and we got the same product.
I haven't tasted his. I'm sure he hasn't tasted, mind, but it's
the same product coming out at the same time out of at the same place.
Like that would be like, okay, me and you are cooking in
your kitchen and at the same time, I'm gonna do bacing chili whatever,
right, and you that's your thing. And then all of a sudden,
well phil real god baked chili, baked chili, garlic, same time,
same time, same time. So I don't know, like, but it's
interesting. My advice doesn't hold the candle. But I'm just saying, I
think you need to start pushing what you have. You need to start pushing
what do you I mean, who cares if you only got two out,
who's more than you've had for Because yeah, because you could push it on
here, you can push it on social media and the businesses that have your
rub, people actually will go in and look for it, grab it by
it now if you're not promoting it and the rub just sits there like they're
gonna be like, Okay, let's not order this again because it doesn't sell.
Yeah, you know what I'm I'm pushing. I already got. I
already got the whole marketing playing down on how to push it. I'm ready,
I'm ready. You have one out now you should start pushing it.
Do you have a website set up? Yes? For you fill the grill.
Yes, I can go to filldgrill dot com and buy your ReBs right
now. You can go to filldgrill dot com. But you can't buy my
rubs. So you don't have a website set up? Yes I do,
Yes, I do. Well, you don't have a way to be able
to purchase anything? How do I purchase your rubs? Right now? If
there's a listener listening right now? But like you know what, I want
to support Phil? I like Phil? How do I support? How do
I? How do I support? You? Go to Amazon? They're on
Amazon? Yep, of the girl on Amazon? Going right now, I'm
gonna try to do this. I try to support you. Also, Phil,
could you have picked any photos on your website for your website that you
were maybe not like fifty three years younger? And yeah, yo check it
out, check it out, yo, barrow yo yo yo, wait,
bar look at this, Look at this. I gotta ask you a question.
You went to my website and you did fill the grill, But did
you look at what the web domain says it comes to the jay z of
barbecue. Am I gonna get trouble for that barrel? Yes? Yeah,
I can't say the dumbest thing you can do, like the dumbest thing you
do, like you're a fool. I feel like we should edit this part
out because you're an idiot. An idiot. No, we're not editing this
out. I want to. I hope he gets an assist to this.
I'm gonna frame it. I might be like I made it, baby,
if he got time to spend, if he got time to give me a
ceason desist. I'm telling you you got you got a lot more problems,
bro. So Yeah, by the way, I fill the grails, rub
me all over fruit and fire rub as well as the uh ap rub.
It looks like you rub me all over ap rub. It doesn't called the
O G, it's not called triple OG. They haven't changed that one yet.
See that's what I'm saying. I don't. I don't want to keep
I don't until they get it right one hundred percent. I don't want to
tell people that because just like I said, i'd say, go there and
you get my rub. Oh this is not the right rub. Then people
like I'm not messing with them, you know what I mean, He's giving
me bad information. I want everything to be straight and set. I want
to have product in my closet. I want to be able to ship on
order before I mention anything. You know what I mean. Well it is
on Amazon. If anybody is interesting to check that out, just wait,
just wait two weeks and you'll you'll have them all. You'll have the Trio,
Baby, you have the Trio, the Dryfecta. I've been hearing two
weeks for two and a half years, so I know me too. I've
been hearing it so much my balls turned to different colors. Uh uh man,
I just honestly, like I just worked like a crazy man for like
God, I mean that that was a run. I have been using my
uh, my Green Mountain. I've been just hammering that new one, Dude.
That new GMG is a it's just a work horse. It's just a
dang good smoke. I've been using the heck out of that, you know.
I cooked. I did some Texas style ribs, which I really like.
I'm being on the Texas style ribs. Style ribs where you just do
salt, pepper, garlic. You don't do any of the butter, the
honey, any of that. You just doing texastyle or all that. A
little barbecue sauce, wrapping up and foil and cut his kind of finished him
off in a warmer love. I like that style. I don't know why.
Okay, I really enjoy that. That's kind of my new I don't
know, I just love those. Uh what else did they do? Oh?
Ude? The other day I got bored and I was like, but
I'm like, I'm making chicken thighs again. So I think I saw that
The Bachelor of Chicken was on screen. Dude, exactly, I make The
Bachelor of Chicken like NonStop. So I went ahead and just did The Bachelor
of Chicken, which is just chicken thighs actually seasoned with your two rubs with
Phil's og rubbed me all over, and then I topped it with Kyle's green
chili bacon. Let's the most basic thing in the world to make, trust
me. And I got exactly calls of gourmet, but I took him.
I took a couple of chicken thighs and they came off and I took them,
and I also smoked them some bacon, and I did some red onion.
I didn't smoke that obe anyway, as long as your short. I
chopped it all up really fine, had a little ranch and made at one
of the you know those things you've been seeing all over social new trend is
like the chopped sandwiches, you know, where you take everything and chop it
up all fine, mix it. Oh, you're not talking about chop cheese.
You're not talking about New York chop cheese. Right? No, no,
what what? What's what's the beat? What's the protein chicken? Oh?
Okay, go ahead, pay attention. So yeah, I did.
I made that. And honestly, it was like, this is so dumb
and so basic, but it's really good. So I made that. Other
than man, man, I've just been working like a dog. I had
a buddy of mine in town, uh this past weekend, and he's just
he's just a gasser. Dude. You ever have one of those friends that
come to town and you just you just gotta hang on the entire time you're
the're there because they're just wide open. This comes to this dude. This
dude's like another level of just he's just a beauty and he's just insane and
I love him, but golly, he is just he's wide open. It
was like back to back nights of two am and three ams and just and
then Bart got to go to work. He counting his He's counting his hours,
just like if I go to bed right now, I could get to
got it. He got in last Friday. He got in last Friday,
and I picked him up from the airport and we went straight to a brewery,
then drank and next thing I it was three o'clock in the morning,
got up. Rinston repeated that on Saturday, this went hard in the pain
On Saturday Sunday, I was just like I am dead. So we just
kind of like laid low at my house and this dude is show just ripping
through IPA's going out stop. He's just a machine and I'm like, I
gotta go to bed. I gotta work Monday. And he left today Tuesday.
I got over from work yesterday and the dude is just sitting there on
the couch and just got his eighteen pack and he's just crushing through cours like
eighteens. I'm like, damn, this dude is just a work course.
So yeah, did a little bit of that. That was one of my
excitement that or you say the fun of there, but I do have to
say something here. I have to give Phil his flowers. And he actually
did something super super cool for me. Oh so, if you remember a
few weeks back, Phil was back east, then goes in Connecticut and he
entered in that competition using my mom's pizza doll recipe. Right, he enters
it in and he finishes third. Well, Phil comes home with a trophy
the other like last week, I don't know what I think it was Monday,
I don't know what day it was. They'll run together. I get
this texted like four fifteen in the morning, and I'm like, what the
hell and it says Phil the grill. I'm like, oh, he's in
jail, but he wasn't. And he's like, what time you go at
the station? I tell him. He's like, I got something, gonna
bring it by. He brought me by the trophy. Oh, let's go.
So he brought me by the trophy and I gave it to my mom
and she has put it up in her kitchen. She is she's got yeah,
she's got up in the kitchen. She was so happy, she's so
over the moon with it. My dad and I have renamed when our you
know, our family group thread. You can you can have names for things,
you know, you can name group threads. So I don't call my
mom mom. I never have. I call her Nita because because my mother,
my mother's name is Janet. And when I was like only fifth grade
learning Spanish or whatever, you know, Janita is Spanish for Janet, so
I just shortened it, like in fourth grade and started to call my mom
Nita. People think it's I call her Nita like I've always called a Nida,
and people like what. So now we have renamed our family group thread
to Nita's award winning kitchen, and she's got that trophy posted up in her
kitchen. She is so damn happy about it. So, Phil, that's
you you truly, truly truly made made her so happened and she was just

through practice ribs and a couple of side dishes. And so how do you
think I want to know the layout here? Like who's doing? What?
What's going on? Like? Break it down? So here, you guys
are signed up for all the sides. Yes, we'll sign up for all
the sides. And I would like to say except wings, chicken, and

wings and chicken. We're pretty much collaboring on. Oh and duck. I
got duck, so I got Duck all on my own and I got Wings
all on my own. And Smitny, are you running the same Wings as
you did in Memphis and May last year or year before. No, No,
I'm different, I'm doing No, Yes, I'm doing I'm doing Philly
crack wings. Everybody says, yo, Phil, why don't you put it
justin KOFEENI says, I put anything else in the box about my Philly crack
wings. He says he's gonna smack blood out me. That I know Smit
will because you change everything as soon as you get that, like you changed
exactly. Now we're doing Philly crack wings in the box, in the in
the box. But yes, Smitty got that, and everything else is collabor
like like he might be rocking the proteins, but I might be rocking like
the Garnish Man or the rest of this thing that goes even are ribs that
you know, we signed up for ribs. Like we're collaboring rubs and sauces,
you know, together. So it's it's an honest it's an honest fifty
to fifty yo. You know what it is Me and my me and my
brother, like we know how to deal with each other. Like I feel
like it's a deal with Smith. You know, I love Smith to death.
But I'll be hearing like background right, I'll be hearing background shit right.
People be like, oh, Smitty's you know, a hard ass.
So Smitty's this telling you you slut? Will you let me talk Smitty's a
hard ass or he's so ain't on and blase, or you know he wants
to take over the show or this that me Smith? Even when I cooked
with me, he wasn't like that. We were all find to like,
oh people, people, people all say certain shit, right, they all
got their own view points of Smith, right, And he'll tell you.
And that's why I don't have no problem saying there on here, because he
knows, because he knows who people he don't like. No bore too the
same type people, right. But but here's the deal with Smith. I
love Smith and Smith and anybody else that I really mess with. And this
is probably part of what you wanted to say, Kyle. He's a real
dude, right, there's no pussy footing around shit, right, And so
real people love real people. So I like tell him what I want to
do, and he'll tell me what I should do or what I shouldn't do,

presentation on the grill, right, and then you have to cook for three
judges right that come to your tent, and then have one more leftover if
you hit finals right? Right? How many ribs did I just count off

do the same for him. I would do the same. You wouldn't.
You wouldn't I would do the same for him. I would do the same
for him, Bro, you wouldn't drive the Florence ship. All right,
Let's go into ribs. Right. You asked me where I'm getting my ribs?
Now, there's been a brand of ribs that's it's been hot, and
a lot of people like to use them. But I've been getting like even
before I close my restaurant to now, like you know, I go up
to a certain boacher shop to carry them. I've been carrying. I've been
grabbing these joints and there's been a lot of miscuts compared to what I used
to see miscuts, even the ones I got you, even the ones you
got, like diagonal like those they were fat in certain spots and they go
the fat goes all the way through the bone, you know what I mean
on some of them. And and now mind you, mind you, mind
you. They're great at a restaurant, right, They're great at a restaurant
because yo, you you don't care about now that you know what I mean.
You just want a good bite, taste and rib great at the restaurant.
But for competitions, guess what, yo, Brodie, these supermarkets have
been having more meaty batter, thicker ribs like fries fries. I was gonna
say so, I used to get my ribs as the fries. But I'll
rock Prairie fresh primes all day long. Brother, I got here. I
love Prairie first primes. I had I certain too, I do too,
But I got me a hand selected batch frozen ready for one day when I
can finally leave here to compete. Oh yo, how many you gots?
Know how many you got? You got some picked down? Ready you call
them out? Get said, we get, we get, we get.
Because Phil the Grill come over here to hand pick his his ribs in refrigerator.
I said, oh, there they are, Phil, They're in this
fridge. And what's Phil do? Man? You didn't dig them out?
Man, I gotta go through all these You ain't? Can you can you
post some of these out? I'm like, Phil, I got stuff to
do. There's the fridge, that's where they are. Dig out what you
need, man? Man? And he pulls like two. Yeah, these
are work one or two. So that's why I'm not bashing nobody. But
those are bro No. I love them. I love them, I love
I love I love the ribs. But I'm just having a little bit problem.
I've been having a problem for competition ribs because you know, you want
to look the fat you know what I mean. You don't want those shiners.
You don't want like big fat globs in them. I'm telling you,
I've been getting a lot of my joint from a supermarket, like testing in
the backyard and just getting prepared for the cop It's all been from like supermarket
ribs, Kroger, fry Kroger or Fries ribs. Yeah, I've been on
point. They've always been on point. Yeah. So anyways, where you're
getting You're going to a grocery store to get your ribs. Do you have
that planned out? Like what's the deal? Yes, me and Smitty are
scavenger every night before we go home. We've been going to the stores and
finding like two packs and putting them together like you know what I mean,
like, yeah, do you need baby do you need baby backs? Or
your regulars regulars, But I want to make sure they all like our award
winning ribs, you know what I mean. So you know how like the
grocery stores can have or wherever you go, bunch of shops whatever, they'll
have whatever came in the case. Right, Okay, for instance, Kyle,
how many and not because I want to borrow, but how many ribs
you got set to the side? Probably fifteen fifteen? How many packs or
how many weeks did it take you to get to them? Fifteen? Probably
all month long, I mean exactly months exactly. But that's what I'm saying
to get them to get the competition ribs that you want in your low Wow,
these are the ones, exact mean, because I'll go through the case,
which is fine, and I'll still load the refrigerator. But then I'll
get one that's like you're like, oh, this is funny right here exactly,
that's the one that those are the ones we want, and so that
you can't just do it one visit at the grocery store, you know what
I mean, you can't you if you need that many and you need perfect
ribs, you got to go like every other night, you know what I
mean, grab two and grab another two. Friends, Bro, I made
friends with the fries manager over here, well not out here, but I
mean in Waddell, and I made friends with him, kind of talked up
what I was doing and blah blah blah. He's like, bro, anytime
you want to, you know, we get ribs at this certain time.
It was like Tuesdays, I think Mondays or Tuesdays and he would take me
back into the cooler and they would have freaking stacked Yeah. What you had
to give him him to take you back in the cooler? Nothing, Bro,
I'm a nice person. I'm a nice person, so I'm nice.
I was like, bro, can I look through some of these? Yeah,
look at what you want? Don't hurt yourself. I'm like, all
right, cool. The case is to go through all the Phil used to
be my connect to get the Prairie first primes, and when I couldn't get
him from him, I had That's the prize was where I want to go?
Yea, That's where I had to go. Definitely, definitely, And
and you know what, and you know we were injecting him anyway, right,
So like some of these already are already ready to injected exactly, especially
that and some of the fries ribs too, already are in a solution.
So they're already in an injection, you know, solution to help tenderize them.
Yeah, you just gotta watch out for that because you don't want to
you don't want to put too much tendrizer in the thing. Yeah, yeah,
exactly, You'll you'll talk them out. Yeah, we don't want that.
When Mushy is ship, So Jason Baker's loading up a cooler ribs as
well. No, I'm taking a Koler with me on the plane. I'm
filing southwest how many how many racks of ribs are you taking with you?
I don't know, probably fifteen. No, you're taking more than that.
You know how much that's going to be? Wait, they charged by weight,
bro, you're gonna take an ice chest full of ribs. That's gonna
be like fifty pounds. Okay, yo, yoh, wait, hold,

Brinle, he helped out you know what I mean. Well, a lot
of questions to get it off and and going off the start. So,
like I said, it's gonna be a nice little I'm like, I like
it. How many teams are signed up? I don't know. I ain't
seen no lists. I mean I've seen everybody's name. I would say total
it might be fifty, but everybody's a different category. It looked like about
fifty, Bro, it looked like that's it. I mean, this is
one hundred thousand dollars contest. There's only fifty people signed up. Bro,
That's what I'm saying. Thank you. Don't say nothing. Don't say nothing.
If you got some good to say, don't say nothing. Don't say

Did you buy a house? Yes, there's a house purchased that I
sleep in. Now that's two minutes from the restaurant. Oh because that ghost,
yo, that ghost was tearing ass up at night huh bro it.
Literally it was like you wake up, there's nothing to do but go straight
to work, Like, okay, I gotta do this. I gotta do
that. I'm just saying, like one month and I was like I hate
this, Like I wake up and okay, time to make barbecue sauce,
Time to do this, time to do that. You know, Like an
was like you could get up, take a shower. Yeah we know,
we know, we but you wanted to be the people under the stairs and
live what a story. I did it for two months. I survived you
and g for doing it for two months because I would have did it for
two seconds messing around with Casper downstairs. I would have been like I'm out.
Everything would have been on Fris, would have been on smoke. I
would have been calling my partner. It's like, yo, you know,
I gotta go third. So I figured out where the coast came from.
So can we end this? Now? Can we end it? So?
During what was it lunch, I don't know, lunch or maybe like midday
dinner type types of this old couple came in. They were eating and everything,
and I'm making a point to I go around every table after I cleared
the tickets. I go around every table, find out how the food was.
Blah blah blah blah blah. So this guy starts talking to me.
He used to work for the city way back when, and uh he helped
to do all the construction on Main Street, put new uh like, help
resurface the streets, bury the tunnel, do the uh what do you call
it? Redo the sidewalks and all that stuff. They found a coffin right
in front of the our restaurant, right there was a coffin, and they
didn't I mean, they found I guess they found a bunch of money.
They found all kinds of crazy stuff when they were redoing everything out here,
and they found a coffin and nobody wanted to touch it, so they concrete
it right over it right in front of the windows of the restaurant. Probably
no, And this dude's old. This dude was old, and he's like,
dude, I'm serious, I'm dead serious. There was a there was
a coffin right there. They don't know who it was or blah blah blah
blah blah. But I was like, oh, that's funny, because let
me tell you some ghost stories. So I tell him the stories. He's
like, yeah, I don't believe you know, I don't blame it now
that happens. So, yeah, there was a coffin. Yeah, No,
was like, wouldn't you think, like we're twenty twenty four, you'd
probably take that out and probably do something with it. Yo, let's let's
go digging, bro They found money, you said he found them not in
just front of the restaurant, but I mean the entire town of Florence on
the street when they redid everything. Yo, you still got dirt in your
backyard. I'm coming with my metal detective stuff. They all found. They
found all kinds of stuff, but the biggest thing was the coffin in front
of the restaurant and they concrete it over it. I was like, what,
I'm sure ran a bobcat for a day and come out there with a
