WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.960
Welcome to don't drop the tongs.
I'm barrel boy Phil the grill here,

2
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:11.640
Kyle, you're behind barbequ We are
starting to roll through January, man,

3
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.759
I mean crazy February. Right around
the corner. The big game, the

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.079
super Bowl coming on board here.
Can we say super Bowl? You can

5
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.879
say super Bowl as it's a game. We can't say it as if though

6
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.280
we were talking about like promoting it
ourselves, like we're not the official podcast

7
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.679
of anything like that. I can't
say that. So what we can't say

8
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:31.440
is, you know, the super
Bowl is coming town. We're gonna find

9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.560
out who those teams are going this
week. Let's be real. The super

10
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.920
Bowl means one Thingballwich football, Ye
Marshall bathers. Football is one thing,

11
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.719
right, but the big thing.
Also, everybody talks about the football,

12
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.880
no matter who's playing, men,
women, young, old. Everybody talks

13
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.600
about the food they're cooking for the
super Bowl. What are your super Bowl

14
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.359
must haves at your super Bowl party
that you're gonna be cooking up? What

15
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.200
are you going with? I don't
know. Wings obviously, wings are always

16
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.439
a staple, you know. I
think wings are easy staple to a million

17
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.000
different ways you can do wings.
But I think the great way to do

18
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.439
wings is just to get your big
old pellet smoker, fire them out on

19
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.359
there and go or go get yourself
to vortex. I'm gonna be dropping.

20
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.760
I'm gonna be dropping a bunch of
recipes, Vegetabowl recipes every day, super

21
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.959
Bowl Week, super Bowl wings and
recipes. We're always good. Sliders are

22
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:27.799
always big Bay that one eighty wing
recipe that I'm not sharing because but I

23
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:37.120
can figure it out, you know, But but I like I like sliders.

24
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.079
Bro. You know, if you
if you go ahead and start curing

25
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:46.840
your brisket now, you can make
a bomb behind because I won't let you

26
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.239
edit because we showed on top.
But a bomb ASTRAMI like a nice ruben,

27
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.560
a little slaw, a little bit
of a thousand Doland, you know,

28
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.359
on those nice pretzel buns. I
gotta tell you know what to change

29
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.799
the slider games. In my opinion, kings Hawaiian coming to the table with

30
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.599
those pretzel roll sliders. Yes,
those pretzel role sliders in kings Hawaiian.

31
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:14.840
You see all these influencers they're paying
to. They are so good, so

32
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.520
good. Mike Johnson had the first
contact with them, dude, they are

33
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.000
getting nothing but like sweet Hawaiian.
Oh my gosh, Kings Hawaiian. Those

34
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.639
Kings Hawaiian pretzel rolls are incredible.
So yeah, uh you know, I

35
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.520
mean, I think another easy appetizer, you know, slider whiles that I've

36
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.599
done before. Again, balling on
a budget. Shami's amazing. Yeah,

37
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.400
but let's be real, it takes
time. It takes process. Yeah.

38
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.680
One that I love to do is
you go to yourself some chicken thighs,

39
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.319
smoke them, cook them over the
hell you want, shred them up real

40
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.560
nice and fine in your kitchen.
You better believe it best shred in the

41
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.919
world. Get that going on.
Take those slider rolls, put yourself down,

42
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.400
a little bit of mayonnaise, Get
a little toast on both sides,

43
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.080
you know, get a little toast
on there. Yeah, put some Swiss

44
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.080
cheese down, put some put some
of that grilled chicken on there. Put

45
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.680
some red onion, made a little
spicy, slow, little thin barbecue sauce.

46
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.199
Slice them up with you. You're
done. And the best part about

47
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.919
it, you can make that in
an hour and a half, two hours

48
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.840
pre game. Yeah, and it's
not gonna break your back because that's The

49
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:16.919
tough part with Super Bowl food I
find is let's say you go to a

50
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:21.000
party. There's fifteen people at right, everybody brings a dish or too.

51
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.639
So you go out and spend fifty
sixty hundred bucks whatever to make your thing.

52
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.280
You know, you brining a brisk
You go all this time and six

53
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:32.199
your sliders get eaten because somebody's been
elbow up in the chips and sauce and

54
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.000
the bean dip. And you know
you're like, don't I put all that

55
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.639
damn work into that and it never
got eaten? You know? So yo,

56
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.879
so so new fill new year,
right? Yeah? And Kyle,

57
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.439
yo, yeah, I know you're
not going to be eating bread on Super

58
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:53.039
Bowl. I am twenty three days
into this die exactly. So the new

59
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.560
thing this year is barbecuing vegetables and
plant based. Are you down with that?

60
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:03.000
I mean, yeah, I guess
you got. I got all these

61
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.599
dilemma. I'm trying to hold back
my anger right now because I got so

62
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:12.759
much. I got a story that's
later in life. So I've been cooking

63
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.759
at the restaurant, right, and
I've been feeding all the local business every

64
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:23.199
week, feeding them. But there's
one particular person that doesn't eat it because

65
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.480
she's a vegetarian, and she's a
yeah vegetarian. So she was like telling

66
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:36.600
me different things that she had.
Yo, so you can do bes corn?

67
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.959
No, okay, Then what's the
other word for a vegetarian vegan?

68
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.199
Vegan? Maybe she's well, vegan
doesn't mean Saladsbyterian, so she's she doesn't

69
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.560
eat meat, she doesn't eat bread, vegan. Whatever it is. Seafood,

70
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.160
no seafood, she's but I'm not
doing seafood, absolutely not. You're

71
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.399
not going to have a fish fry. That's not seafoo. Yeah, what

72
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:08.879
is fish? Fish? What's wronging? She was telling me that she has

73
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.720
this dragon fruit, smoked dragon fruit. Don't mess with it. Have you

74
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.319
tried it? Okay? I tried
to try. Okay, here's what happened.

75
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.279
Okay, So what did you do? People? Because I tried it

76
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.120
and it didn't work, I ignored
them. I was like, Yo,

77
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.000
look, do you go to your
steakhouse and ask them for vegan items?

78
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.839
Well, all certain certain high end
steakhouses are going to have something. Look,

79
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.839
so here here's the deal. I
tried messing with jackfruit, right and

80
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:44.240
making it into a pull port.
It was smelly and sticky. Yeah,

81
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.680
yeah, you going to boil it
first. Yes, there's a process and

82
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.360
you got to get it out that
shell, that porky pond shell, right,

83
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:57.199
and and and the preparation for it
was just disgusting my hands. Preparation

84
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.120
wasn't worth the return, Yeah exactly. I'm like, for the one to

85
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:01.560
two people, I was like,
look, you're gonna have to just order

86
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:08.240
calla Greens Yeah, because let's yeah, I mean, I'm like, I

87
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.920
am going to I don't know how
many people, but that was the first

88
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.360
one that I am sure. I'm
sure. I'm sure Florence is not highly

89
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.319
populated with because I mean, and
also a lot I don't okay, there's

90
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:25.480
one for I was just like,
but I have friends of mine, friends

91
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.519
of mine that are vegan and vegetarian. And if they truly are vegan or

92
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:33.959
vegetarian and it's their choice health reasons, uh, you know, social views,

93
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.120
you know, animal rights, whatever, that's what they're really into.

94
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.279
They won't beat you over the head
with it. They'll be like hey,

95
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.800
like they they'll either know what they
can have going into a situation, or

96
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.519
they'll avoid going to said situation.
They'll be like, yeah, no,

97
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.439
I'm not going to choose going to
a place called Birds and Bones. It's

98
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.800
not going to be for me.
They're not going to expect you to have.

99
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:01.959
I just feel bad because I every
weekend, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

100
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.959
I load the employees up with food
to the point where they almost look

101
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.000
at me like nobody turns down.
Okay, well nobody turns down free food.

102
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.079
Then go ahead and just make her
a salad. As I was just

103
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.680
like, look, I'll figure it
out. I'm sorry, yeah, yeah,

104
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:21.240
you know. So my alternative for
like vegetarians was mushrooms like yo,

105
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:28.800
mushrooms like so the pella Pello border, Pella border like yo, my mind

106
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:38.199
and your mouth is peller porter bor
yo. But but you could you could

107
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:43.959
actually soak that and you can you
could actually soak that in like red wine,

108
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.399
yep, red wine. But I
get a better taste from what's that

109
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:53.160
sesame oil? Like that toasta sesame
oil and then you grill it. Yo.

110
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.680
It's like, you can't tell me
you're not in one of her stuff

111
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.279
jackfruit inside of go ahead and mess
with jackfruit and tell me how I did

112
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.639
in your patience. You're gonna be
like, don't forget this, yo.

113
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.759
I was in the kitchen and I
had my gloves on and it was just

114
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:15.199
so sticky and smelly, and I
was just like, smells. It smells

115
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:20.560
I've never I've never mess. Smells
like like sour socks. And it's sticky,

116
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.800
like like you have like syrup,
like syrup. Yeah. And I

117
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.079
was just like, I just do
the whole thing in the trash. I

118
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.439
was, let's move past that.
Hold on, hold on one more,

119
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.159
one more little thing here. I
almost had to feel the grill moment,

120
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.559
you know how I feel the grill
People be like, yo, Phil,

121
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.960
I loved your rubs, or I
loved your food, this and that.

122
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.759
Where can I find you? And
he's like, oh yeah, just google

123
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:46.200
me, right, that's facts.
I'm not even pokemona. So I had

124
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.879
to go to this. It's like
a vendor day type deal, right yeah,

125
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.000
yeah, for a food supplier.
I saw your videos. You that

126
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.240
takes you. You know, you
go there and they bring in all their

127
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.960
food vendors and you go in there, you walk up and down these aisles,

128
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.759
you try food and blah blah blah. I'm on a diet, so

129
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.960
I ain't touching nothing. So we're
walking through and they got from scrubby pads

130
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:13.799
to soaps, tough everything you can
think of. Bread looked good. I

131
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.799
ordered a bunch of samples because you
go in there, every case you order

132
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.879
is five bucks and it's a case, and I was like, yeah,

133
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:26.399
i'll take that, I'll take that. Types of this blows my mind.

134
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.440
I know about it, or I
knew about it, but I didn't know

135
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:39.120
to the extent of how bad I
personally think. This is there every product

136
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.240
you think of, pulled pork,
ribs, marinara, sauce, noodles,

137
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:50.440
beer, cheese, dips, appetizers. Just look at an Applebee's menu.

138
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:58.279
Look at their menu. Every single
freaking item comes in a bag or a

139
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.440
can that's already done and you just
heat it up. Yeah, you didn't

140
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.360
know that. I could not believe
any of this. He didn't. No,

141
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.399
I believed. No, I knew. I knew it. Like I

142
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.120
said, I knew you thought.
You mean to tell me you thought the

143
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.480
local well a craft kid. No, No, No, that's what I'm

144
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.080
saying. I'm saying I knew about
it, back and cheese and it didn't

145
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.279
come from a bag. Bro.
I knew about it, but I didn't

146
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.639
know it was to this extent.
Okay. This one guy tried to sell

147
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.279
me on his steaks. Okay,
his steaks. Yeah, here's the bag

148
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.080
that says medium rare. Here's the
bag that says medium. Here's the bag

149
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.759
that says medium. Well but and
here's the bag that says that no,

150
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.080
hold on, hold on, it
gets better. Barrel. So and I'm

151
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.919
looking at him and he's like,
yeah, all's you gotta do, super

152
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.720
simple. Put it in boiling water
like a warm it up or put it

153
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.200
in a o and warm it up
and serve it and you're done. And

154
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.960
I'm like like, I'm flabbergasted.
Barrel flabbergasted. And I'm like I'm done.

155
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.559
Okay, next guy, this little
this little kid bro Hormel okay,

156
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.480
starts fired at me. Oh,
you gotta try our bacon. Our bacon's

157
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.399
the best break. And I'm like, well, I need bacon, you

158
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.399
know me. I wrap everything in
baker. So he's got all these samples

159
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.480
of bacon. Oh try this.
Try this. Now you walk in dough

160
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.720
like a hotel and everything's out of
a can you know bag, Yeah,

161
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.159
they get some in your stomach bacon. So he's showing me all this bacon.

162
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.039
I'm like, cool, I was
like, you got you got rob

163
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.960
bacon. He's like, yeah,
we do, but you know this stuff

164
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.200
right here is much cheaper and it's
already done. And I'm looking at him,

165
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.440
I'm like, that broke your heart. He's like, we send you

166
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.039
pre DONEA bacon's done. We see
it. To do is warm it up

167
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.879
in there. Take that off your
prep list. Bro. I am And

168
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.519
like anybody any swinging Richard okay,
can open up a restaurant. You want

169
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.399
to open up a restaurant, Barrow, open up a restaurant. The people

170
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.639
down the road want to open a
restaurant. Just guess what you call These

171
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.080
dudes say, Hey, I want
to serve chicken fingers, I want to

172
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.679
sew another thing, and anybody just
warms up the food like it is so

173
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.960
stupid. Yeah, okay, but
you guys understood. But I think that

174
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.879
you're I know, I know I'm
freaking out for the reason well I think

175
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.159
you're freaking out of this, but
I think you're also I'm going to take

176
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.080
the side of the bag food.
I'm gonna take the side of it here

177
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:30.279
and the reason why you're opening it. Why are you opening a restaurant because

178
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.240
I enjoy it and because you enjoy
food. I enjoy the process cooking.

179
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.440
I enjoy it. Okay, great. You know how many people open up

180
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.480
restaurants because they want to make money. They also not only that, they

181
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.879
look at a restaurant as a real
estate investment. They put a restaurant in

182
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.360
on a corner that's chicken. Hold
on, it's successful. Listen, hold

183
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.720
on, hold on, it's successful. Then that strip mall around it becomes

184
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.080
successful. They own, they buy
out a building in there. They only

185
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.360
sings. People do these things one
hundred percent. Think I if I had

186
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:11.159
a bar and I was serving cold
drinks and good cocktails, I'd have every

187
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.879
bag food in the world because guess
what, it would not matter because my

188
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.000
goal. No, it doesn't.
It matters to you because you're into the

189
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:26.960
food as a businessman. Guess what
you Let's just take chicken fingers for example,

190
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:33.120
or let's think that. Let's take
let's take better than that. Let's

191
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.559
take let's take a rack of ribs, rack of ribs. How much is

192
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.320
the rack of rib is going to
cost you? How much is the rack

193
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.759
of rib is going to cost you
to make? I know I had conversations.

194
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.759
Don't don't let me find out you're
getting quirky saying you see what I'm

195
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:54.000
saying. Or let's say, let's
use Applebee's like the ten ninety nine exactly

196
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.360
because guess what, there's a reason
why they're a billion dollar company. Bro.

197
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.080
I'm sorry you may not agree with
that, that old man, that's

198
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.080
just you. Guess what, But
I'm telling you right now, Beryl,

199
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.639
you come into this restaurant, there
won't be one f in thing served in

200
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:15.039
a bag served inspect there will be
zero. I respect that, and I

201
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.279
get that. And you know what
I'm not saying. I'm not saying I

202
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.720
would do it this way. But
what I am saying is I can understand

203
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.720
why a lot of people do do
it that way because guess what. They

204
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.279
look at a restaurant and every person
who comes in is not a customer that

205
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.399
they want to impress with food.
That customer is a person that they come

206
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.200
in that has a dollar sign above
their head, and their goal is to

207
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.159
maximize the amount of money that they
can take out of that person's pocket without

208
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.200
with the least amount of money I
have to take out of their pocket.

209
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.759
Just being real, and I know
you don't want to hear that. That's

210
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.279
what That's what it comes down to
them. If you're telling me, if

211
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.240
you're telling me that I could serve, if I could serve chicken fingers aside

212
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.320
a ranch and some fries, put
it out on a plate, and it

213
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.399
costs me just I don't know the
price. It costs me two dollars to

214
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.120
make that all together. And I
can turn around flip the basket for twelve

215
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.720
Yeah, and I can go ahead
and make ten bucks off the top of

216
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.519
her off a two dollars thing.
Yeah, I'm slinging those all day long,

217
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.840
exactly. Okay, I get it's
real, dude, And this is

218
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.399
the mind boggling yo. So it's
business. I've been in the game.

219
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.960
I saw, I saw those.
You never did any of this, No,

220
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.080
I didn't. But this is the
this is the question, right,

221
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.519
And I'm gonna use the example,
right, shouts out to Emy Mills and

222
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.480
Mike Mills. Right, So they
have seventeenth Street Barbecue right out in Illinois.

223
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.039
She closed one of her locations,
yeah, for nineteen years. And

224
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.720
I know she made it through the
pandemic and still had to close, and

225
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.679
still had to close after nineteen years. And I know she does all of

226
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:54.039
her stuff from crass right, and
she's you know, she had like thirty

227
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.360
something employees, you know, doing
all of that prep work and and sting.

228
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:04.360
But like it, it's like where
does that lie? Because we do

229
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:11.000
this hard work and like Barrow opens
up next door and he's slinging something simple

230
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.799
that he's getting from the bag.
We do that hard work. How much

231
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.200
more is that appreciated? And then
would she have been open for nineteen years

232
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.320
if she was serving crap out of
a bag? You never know. No,

233
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:29.279
it is legacy. And she used
to run for people that was getting

234
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.960
into business and that was a great
class that she has for a restaurant class

235
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.559
giving you timelines and how to prep
and how to do things. So I

236
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.639
know they're on top of their game. But they close and shout out to

237
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.919
Amy Mills. I love her,
that's my auntie. But honestly, like

238
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:51.960
that's the questions, like the authentic
articity? How you saying, yeah,

239
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.559
that author thing got rolled in it? Does it all? Does I get

240
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.039
it? Yeah? I'm not saying
certain people in the podcast are learned.

241
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.519
Listen, I understand where you're coming
from. Phil. It sucks because you

242
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:03.839
know what she did it the right
way. She hustled. And you're right,

243
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:08.039
Kyle, she lasted nineteen years because
she had amazing food in amazing quality.

244
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.759
And you know what, it sucks
if this happened. Yeah, I'm

245
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.920
not saying I agree with this,
but I'm going to say something else.

246
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:21.079
Let's go ahead and look at Taco
Bell. Okay, hold on, hold,

247
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:30.440
on, hold on hold. One
billion dollar company, billions. It's

248
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:36.880
not even Mexican food. It don't
matter. They're crushing it. Billions of

249
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.000
dollars. And you know what,
it's out of that business closed. And

250
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.400
I hate to hear that she poured
her whole life and sold to that years

251
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.240
of life, money, relationships are
probably strained all of that. Right,

252
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.519
there's something to be said, i'd
say, and I agree with it.

253
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:57.440
There's something to be said with sitting
back and counting your stacks of money on

254
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:03.319
your big old boat in the going. I'm okay serving bagged whatever, because

255
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.440
guess what I got My wife,
I got my kids, I got three

256
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.400
generations taken care of. I got
all this stuff here and I am living

257
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.480
very nicely. And guess what it
must be somewhat decent out of a bag

258
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:21.799
because people still coming. Still closed. One location she closed the marrying location,

259
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:23.759
but she still has a flagship.
See what I'm saying, Man,

260
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:29.079
I mean I will quit the business
before that ever happened, Well, welcome

261
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:30.359
to fill the grill. I'll quit
it. I'll be done. There was

262
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:34.599
one thing. I'm not saying it's
right, but I'm just saying what happened.

263
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.160
There was one thing and it goes
along with what Barrol's saying. There

264
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:42.160
was one thing that stuck out in
my mind that a former President Trump had

265
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:48.359
said during the pandemic. He says, yes, everybody's worried about the small

266
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.920
businesses staying alive through this pandemic.
But he said he was an ass open

267
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.200
saying it, but it made so
much truth. He said, don't worry

268
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:02.359
about them, There'll be another business
to replace them. And and isn't that

269
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.400
true? Like how many small businesses
with that passion and you know, small

270
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.920
businesses drive on just giving you that
good quality, yes stuff, and how

271
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.559
they get pushed out by cutting corners
and getting something north. I'm not saying

272
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.920
it's right, and I'm not saying
that what you're doing is wrong. And

273
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.640
I love what you're doing and I
want to fully support you, and I

274
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.319
want to be there to help you. I am gonna say this though,

275
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.920
and you're not gonna like it.
You're gonna have a very successful run.

276
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:40.720
I think I think it's gonna be
a great location until somebody goes a half

277
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:47.240
mile down the road and they're slinging. They're slinging burgers, wings, whatever,

278
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:51.759
basic food for a thirty year cost. Because let's be real, people,

279
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:57.279
cocktails, I'll people love good People
love good food until it starts hitting

280
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.079
their wallet and they're like, man, you know what got His stuff is

281
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.440
good? But man, wife and
I can't get out of there for for

282
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.319
lunch for less than forty bucks.
Man, it's the best lunch they've ever

283
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.200
Yeah, but guess what. Guess
what I get it. You said you

284
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.200
won't fight this to you, say
the electric company, But man, I'm

285
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.960
sorry, I'm ever money paying my
electric bill, but I had the best

286
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.000
dang ribs ever in my life.
They ain't gonna care and keep that power

287
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.279
on. I can't handle it.
Okay, I I agree with it.

288
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.599
Please understand that. Yeah, it's
just it's real. People don't want to

289
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.359
hear it. But I got a
bunch of stuff from this place, right,

290
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:34.920
I'm gonna try well, no,
not back hope. You should have

291
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:38.480
got some extra stuff. I was
getting soups this ministru No no, no,

292
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:45.640
no, no, because I got
it, I know, because my

293
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:48.400
dad was like, all right,
well calm down, you know, maybe

294
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.000
we can use this at the house
exactly right. That's maybe if it tastes

295
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.640
like, you know, if it
tastes like we'll just feed it to rinted

296
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:57.759
t. I was like, oh, it's five bucks. Okay. So

297
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.440
we did that and then I'm like, okay, it's two o'clock in the

298
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:06.359
afternoon, and I'm thinking we're out
here, way out in bf E Gilbert,

299
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.920
and We're like, let's go on
like a little barbecue tour. Let's

300
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.519
go check out some barbecue spots.
There's a couple of good ones in Gilbert.

301
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.720
Well, yes, I went to
two of them called well not out

302
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.559
there, Nope, that wasn't it, and another and another one out and

303
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.640
the out in another part of town. Anyways, we went to these places.

304
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.200
One you know, I just wanted
to check the ambiance. Check what

305
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:30.839
they're doing with barbecue sauce, is
what they're doing with this, this,

306
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.160
this, this, and this.
Picked up a couple of tricks, a

307
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.359
couple of things that I'm like Yep, I need to do that. Blah

308
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:42.839
blah blah, but brout the food
not it was? It was, It

309
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.680
was not good, right yea?
So I go to the next We go

310
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.279
to the next spot. Is the
food. But are they in business because

311
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.599
of the food? There was no. My dad and I were the only

312
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:53.079
people. Okay, I was gonna
say, are they in the food?

313
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:59.000
I was in business because location Monday
Mondays? No, that was a Tuesday.

314
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.279
Still Tuesdays are even Mondays? Well, the worst day in the world

315
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.680
to go. That's what I told
myself on Monday. It's Tuesday. You

316
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:08.720
know, everybody's saving money, you
know whatever. Okay, fine, nobody's

317
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.200
there. All good. Then I
go this next location and it's popping.

318
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:18.359
Okay, Texas style. They got
the pits outside, they got the butcher

319
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.039
paper up written all the cool stuff. You're like, yes, So I

320
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.119
got me some brisket. He slices
the brisket in front of you. Then

321
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:30.200
they bring out the chicken. It's
like a small, real, small,

322
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.160
little chicken quarter, not a full
chicken quarter. It was a small one.

323
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.960
Pulls that out, solid gray,
wow, sets it on the cudding

324
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.519
board that was left over, and
I'm looking at it and I tell him.

325
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.039
I was like, yo, bro, that's that's gray. It's like,

326
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:45.279
yeah, it's been it's been sitting
in the smoker, you know,

327
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:51.440
you know. And I'm playing stupid
like yeah. He's like, it's it's

328
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.319
been sitting in the smoker. He's
like the wood we use, the pecan

329
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:57.200
that we put on the the chicken, it turns it into this coolest gray

330
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:03.200
color. Now he said, coolist
wind? Has gray ever been cool?

331
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:10.279
I'm not eating that gray water?
Put it back in this warmer gray wind

332
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:12.720
is great? Win great ever been
cool? Great? Scott? How long

333
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:18.400
have we been doing this? We
all know gray ain't cool. The brisket

334
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.920
was good, a little tough,
but it was good. The sides were

335
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.960
good and all that. So that
just so it was a Tuesday at two

336
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:29.920
o'clock place is packed. The other
place Tuesday at I don't know, one

337
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:34.359
thirty is two dead. So and
you know, like I said, you

338
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:37.240
can make you can make it work, and I think you will make it

339
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.680
work. I think location is one. I think reputation and word of mouth

340
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:48.720
is the most valuable thing you can
possibly have. You know, I felt

341
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:56.079
like with the Trap House, you
have your select few customers that come because

342
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.440
they love your food and your quality
and it's like no other and they want

343
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.119
to talk to you, and and
yeah, they want to talk to you.

344
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.839
But you know, Phil de Grid
wasn't always there right by the time

345
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.359
they came in, because twelve o'clock, I was already there four in the

346
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:14.799
morning, So I prepped everything and
then I left it to my you know,

347
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.240
my team to serve. Right,
So the conversation might have been with

348
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.319
you know, the hostess or whatever. But the point I'm making is then

349
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:29.440
you have others that is just passing
by and just want like barbecue, and

350
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.759
you can probably shock probably fifty percent
of them to say, wow, that

351
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.680
was the best pull pork sandwich I
ever had, or the best brisket sandwich

352
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:45.200
I ever had. Then you have
the twenty percent that are all just no

353
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.319
not even Texas, just critics,
right, just critics keyboard everything. Yeah,

354
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.480
and they just come in just to
talk about what you don't have or

355
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.519
what they don't like, or they
just come around just to get that free

356
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:03.680
food or to get a discount.
So prepare yourself because then because one person

357
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.440
said to me, it says,
you know, this is two thousand and

358
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:12.960
and what twenty one or whatever,
and he doesn't give free Wi Fi.

359
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.720
No, I'm not Starbucks, like
you're supposed to be eating your meal out.

360
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:26.519
Yeah, but that was a conversation
with that would get about our WiFi.

361
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.880
Free WiFi should be a must,
and I was like, I don't

362
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:32.720
know if yeah, you're not free
what I don't know if that is a

363
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.640
small restaurant. I'm going to explain
this to you as a person, as

364
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:40.319
a person there, as a person
who works in a business complay as a

365
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:44.240
person who works in an office building
with this, we won't go places on

366
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:48.279
have wi Fi. Why don't you
have your own WiFi? Because spot?

367
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.160
Yeah exactly, I got a spot. I couldn't tell your day. It

368
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:55.000
may not be as good inside of
your restaurant whatever else. Emails are coming

369
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.200
in, you're working all the time. I'm working your lunch wi fi as

370
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:02.160
a musk guy. You know what
it's It is absolute Okay, here's and

371
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:03.160
it isn't. It isn't. Oh, I'm gonna be want to sit there

372
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:06.880
like Starbucks for three hours. They
ain't gonna do that. There's a whole

373
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.480
lot of people who are eating with
the right hand I use, and they

374
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.480
want to give my WiFi out to
regular customers. If I knew you would

375
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.279
one of those customers that would set
at the bar and drink and have conversations

376
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.279
on phone and you on your laptop, I would give it to you.

377
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:27.519
But just the the kid that comes
in, does it hurt you to open

378
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:33.400
up your network? Well? Uh, security security breache, what are you

379
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.640

00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.799

00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:47.440

protect you? Are you that damn foolish?

382
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.640
My home at home? Yeah,

385
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.480
elect ones. Guest one. You
have three Internet services to guarantee your house

386
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:10.880
those two? If you guarantee one, I guarantee you damn I have one

387
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:17.519
Internet that's Internet here ya go on. He also he also lives in Lockdown,

388
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:25.119
so string the work is probably White

389
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.079

Run off start link though, so

00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.079
I got I got cheap the damn
internet. Come on, I don't know

392
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:38.519
if I could do that. That's
an excuse me. You get free barbecue

393
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:45.119
sauce. The same people probably charged
for ranch too. Oh if you act

394
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.440
for more than two, if you
ask for more than two, then go

395
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.559
ahead and give me a damn discount
when my food ain't right. Why wouldn't

396
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:57.680

398
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.319
Okay, that's enough for There aren't
certain places there. There's a wing

399
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.640
place here in town that you order
wings and they charge you for the ranch

400
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:12.640
for the wings, and I'm like, no no wings stock yeah yeah,

401
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:18.119
like like or there's another place abruptest
spot in town. They got these big

402
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.559
hubcap size pancakes, and they wanted
to give me like a little four ounce

403
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.880

Maple. I was like, give me

404
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:33.480

Come on, now, you better have

405
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.079
Wi Fi. You don't have Wi
Fi. You don't have Wi Fi.

406
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.920
I will make sure, let's say
free to Wi Fi. I'm not having

407
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.079
free WiFi that's not how that is
gonna be an issue. We're gonna find

408
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.640
out, Beryl. I'm gonna listen
to the customers. All customers are gonna

409
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.920
tell me what they want. And
if there's a nice, lovely old couple

410
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:55.640
and they need the Wi Fi because
they got to talk to their grandson at

00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:59.400
the table while they're drinking beers,
then gets they're a person who's gonna be

412
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.200
trying to do work with their right
hand eat with their left hand, and

won't those places don't have Wi Fi.

414
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.279
I don't believe in that at all, one hundred percent. There's certain restaurants

415
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.480
that don't have good Internet. I'm

00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.599
a fine party. You better tell
people. You better even go even deeper

444
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.000
and tell people that they better not
post on anybody. You'll get caught,

445
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.599
bro. And I'm gonna give you
the example. I'll give you an example.

446
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.519
I had a buddy mind knowing a
bar in Colorado and he did the

447
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.920
same thing. What he was doing
was he was bringing an individual fire sticks

448
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:42.880
exactly and he was and he was
getting the thing right. He thought he

449
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:45.720
was the one that was gonna first
invent it. Check it out what they

450
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:51.440
did, check it out what they
did. They since there were so many

451
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:55.039
different fire sticks that were all coming
from like one area. Yeah, Amazon

452
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.920
can tell what you were doing.
Oh wow. Amazon reached out to UFC

453
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:04.359
and said, hey, we had
well bitched out to uf C because by

454
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:06.799
the way, no because they have
that's the head. They have a whole

455
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.759
departments. All they do is do
securities of this and they say there's twelve

456
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:13.680
things that come this and it comes
back redish to a business. That's what

457
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:21.599
they do. Yeah, they got
that for YouTube TV. Broa TV's up

458
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.119
to six accounts. Brokay and get
and wait until wait until you get slapped

459
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:30.319
of a fine from day to white
in the seven day White in the UFC

460
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:36.920
world, I say, I'll only
take you play musical. We're not We're

461
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:38.279
not. We could not go down
this road. No are you playing music?

462
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:43.240
Yes, yes, you got it. That's all we're gonna talk.

463
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.680
What's your licensing? Yeah, you
got to sign up for it. Get

464
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:51.599
that because as will come after you, will come after you, and they

465
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.519
will shut you down with fines.
Do not mess with that. So they're

466
00:32:54.519 --> 00:33:00.000
gonna be like, you're playing artists
in a restaurant that is creating profit.

467
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.119
You're doing this. You need to
be doing yeating back. But that's why

468
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:06.480
music and was going. There is
a loophole on that, dude, that

469
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.960
is you're gonna get fined like it
is your job. You're just gonna so

470
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:17.079
you're seriously gonna play music inside your
place. It better be it better,

471
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:20.839
It had better be regular, trust
rated. You better not be playing a

472
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.680
Spotify or not hear playoff bro Amazon
Music. They're gonna shut you down.

473
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.880
Yo, bro, Now it's it's
it's per square foot if you're under like

474
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:36.440
fifteen hundred, So don't count like
the patios, brod Square broy. Don't

475
00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:38.720
be cheap. Go get use a
music system. I think it's only like

476
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:43.000
three hundred dollars a year. I'll
take it. Do it because if not,

477
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.079
the fine is gonna get you.
Yeah, and if you do a

478
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.599
party and you promote it like you
do on social media, that's what they

479
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:51.039
look for. And then and you
better not. You better not do anything

480
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:55.079
where you try to play karaoke or
yeah karaoke or hire a DJ. All

481
00:33:55.119 --> 00:34:00.559
of that shut you down. Yeah, okay, okay, everybody takes some

482
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:07.880
steps back for a second. Hire
a DJA, How you're going to get

483
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.920
fined to play inside your place?
To find that to play inside your place?

484
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:13.440
No, he's not gonna be set
up inside. He's gonna be Like

485
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.800
if you hire a DJ, the
DJ needs to be the one to carry

486
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:21.880
the license or because the music of
the DJ is playing they're making profits.

487
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:27.039
So the DJ is playing Morgan Wallen. The DJ you pay the DJ right

488
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:31.760
that DJ needs to have be playing
license music that he pays a service to.

489
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:36.400
Therefore the artists make their cut off. Or you just know you as

490
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:43.079
a restaurant who is serving food playing
artist music. That's why you go into

491
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:49.039
some restaurants, they'll be playing regular
FM terrestrial radio. They're doing that because

492
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.760
they don't have a music license and
they don't want to get shut down.

493
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.199
How much is a damn music license? It all depends on square footage.

494
00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.280
It's ain't no joke. I'm not
joking. You got as cat. I

495
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:01.280
actually I wish they could get my
buddy on the phone right now. Who

496
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:05.079
used own this bar? He called
me when I'll never forget this. He

497
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.039
calls you Andy, and he goes, who's ass cap exactly? And I

498
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:13.239
was like what. He goes,
I just got a bill from them,

499
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.199
and he goes. It's like saying
I need to do this, and he

500
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:20.480
goes and he goes, this is
serious. He goes, I ignored it.

501
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.519
He goes, they follow up with
the phone calls because these people are

502
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:24.920
really legless. Yes, And he
goes, I'm trying to negotiate down with

503
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.079
him, and he goes they ain't
budgeting, and I was like, bro,

504
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:32.960
do not mess with it. He
had he had live music in his

505
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:37.199
place, and he just had some
guy from local in town get up and

506
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:42.920
play. Okay, what's the wrong
with that playing covers? Get the come

507
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:46.159
on, dude, I'm dead serious. Welcome to the business movie Phoenix,

508
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:50.599
Arizona. My buddy. My buddy's
bar was in a town called Palace Sade,

509
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:52.800
Colorado, which was outside of Grand
Junction. Made Florence look like a

510
00:35:52.920 --> 00:36:00.920
metropolis. Bro, I'm telling you, like any of that stuff, you've

511
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:05.840
got to have license. Everything's got
like they will come after you. Go

512
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:12.639
go get yourself. Look like music, like a streaming service for your business.

513
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.679
Those are easy to find. Go
get it or get around it,

514
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.519
and just play from Trust your radio
and that type of stuff. You're not

515
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.679
gonna make now. Your competition is
gonna be advertising in there. Play the

516
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:24.440
f M radio and just go with
it. Why you think I have filled

517
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:31.000
the grill radio at Tripouse, no
radio. I'm telling you, dude,

518
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:36.239
don't mess with that. Guarantee.
You asked somebody like Mike Johnson who has

519
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:37.079
all those restaurants you tell you the
same thing and be like, oh,

520
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.559
yeah, but you know I don't
music. How do I get your behind

521
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:45.440
barbecue radio radio? Yeah? Yo, I'll set you up at radio station.

522
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:52.119
Then you gotta pay licensing. I'm
telling you, bro like it gets

523
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:55.119
nasty in a hurry, and then
they pay a license per song. You

524
00:36:55.159 --> 00:37:00.039
pay like a monthly or an annual
fee to it, and then they distributed

525
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:04.760
out. They take care of all
of that. Again, I don't know

526
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:07.960
all the details on I have to
look it up, but it's you can't

527
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:10.880
just go be like I don't go
to build playlist and play it. Yeah,

528
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.079
I actually did this, all right, So let's change subjects. We

529
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:20.960
talked about We talked about Super Bowl. We talked about plant based food.

530
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:24.679
So I'm gonna have a guest on
because I got one case. I got

531
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:28.719
one next week. No, not
next week? Okay, okay, hold

532
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:30.880
on, before we go any further, what does an ASCAP license? To

533
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:37.079
ASCAP gives you a license to entertain
your customer's guests and employees with the largest

534
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.760
with the world's largest music repertoire.
One of the greatest advantage of the ASCAP

535
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:45.840
license that it gives you the right
to perform millions of works in the ASKAP

536
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:50.079
repertoire, which means you can just
play whatever. Can I legally play music

537
00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:53.639
in my business? You need a
public performance license a PPL to publicly play

538
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:58.280
music in public places. So like
any type of business, how much does

539
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.800
an ASCAP license cost? And ASKAP
license minimums two hundred and seventy seven dollars

540
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:06.039
for the calendar year and for a
calendar year twenty twenty two each calendar year

541
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.119
thereafter, so two hundred and seventy
seven bucks. And it cover your free

542
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:12.199
and it covers you and you're safe. But again, those are the stupid

543
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.559
things that you don't Then they come
back after you'll be like you have been

544
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.519
playing. You've been opened nine to
five for the path boom they smack you

545
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:23.039
just get the license? Has everything? Is everything just a nickel and die.

546
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:27.320
Yes, welcome to the real world, Yes, bro, welcome to

547
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.360
life out of wid hell. Yes
bro yo. I used to be like

548
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:36.679
dang Son. I made all of
his money. It was like everybody's hand

549
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:38.719
was out by the time it was
left with me, and my pockets had

550
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:43.280
rabbit is why do you think you
know what you should do? No,

551
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.320
you know you seriously, should do
I look into it. I another body

552
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.719
my know's a bar and did the
same thing. He went and got one

553
00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:54.079
of those touch tunes systems and he
made money off the touchdowns on the side.

554
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:58.400
Plus he had to pay touches me. But again they covered it off.

555
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:00.360
He was like, boom, it's
done. I generate some revenue off

556
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:05.039
there. When it ain't working,
I can go over and just have it

557
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.559
play whatever, and it's done.
It generated a little revenue for them.

558
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.360
People liked it. It was a
cool thing. They can set the vibe

559
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:14.719
where the night was going because I
need to worry about a playlist. Yeah,

560
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:16.880
and if they don't put money in
it, it plays. It plays

561
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:21.800
automatically, and again they cover the
license and you're safe. Yeah, touch

562
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.400
to them, all right? Feel
that thing. I used to drop twenty

563
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:31.880
in that second. I like the
part where you could spend the extra dollar

564
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:38.199
play get everybody like Christmas music in
the middle of the summer at the bar

565
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:42.519
all the time, people like,
who the hell is? I would unplugged

566
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.159
it would unplugged it all right,
yo, yo, all right? So

567
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:50.639
what's going on with Memphis and May? No, So Memphis in May obviously

568
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:57.199
legendary competition. They've had some issues
with the City of Memphis that have been

569
00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:04.400
well documented. Some of those issues
and involved how the land was left afterwards.

570
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:09.159
There's been some news reports and some
news stations have fould have done stories

571
00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:15.679
about potential racial profiling. Again unconfirmed
reports, but there's been news stories that

572
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:17.559
have been done about it. There's
YouTube videos, there's a lot of different

573
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.840
stories. So not to speak on
that too much, but I didn't hear

574
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:27.760
that part of it, right,
So, like I always had a bad

575
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.079
feeling. I was like, you
know, you know Memphis of May Man

576
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.039
they really getting you know, it
handed to them by another big company just

577
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:37.079
coming in and you know, taking
over what they used to have. But

578
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:40.920
it's a lot of little backstories if
you kind of google and kind of do

579
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:47.800
your research of incidences that happened at
the last Memphis of May that stands out

580
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:54.159
that got you know, news time
on there that this seems fair. I

581
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:58.480
didn't have no bad experience with them. I we didn't have I thought it

582
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.760
was the greatest time in the world. But but just just just where you

583
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:07.599
place it in your and they seem
very organized. They sit wait where you

584
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:12.280
sit in your chairs, like so
at competitions. Right, we go and

585
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.079
we place our chairs in our tent
and then you know, if the sun

586
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:19.360
is not out you know that bad
we might sit in front or whatever.

587
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:23.079
Well, I guess they asked some
people to uh move their chairs in there,

588
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:29.159
certain people. But that's a report. That that's a report. It's

589
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:35.039
not confer because I always say,
anytime things are reported, there's the reporter

590
00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:37.760
side, there's the person who's being
reported, and there's the truth. There's

591
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.679
three sides. So we don't want
to bash. We don't want to bash

592
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:45.280
anybody. We do know that there
is a third competition coming on or third

593
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:50.920
the second competition coming on Smoke Slam
that has been announced Slam Smoke, and

594
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:58.360
that competition, that new competition coming
to town Smoke Slam is offering some huge

595
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.719
Yes you're going huge, pa,
I don't think so, you gummy.

596
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:06.639
No, here's here's my thought with
it. You know, everybody's saying,

597
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:07.840
I am I gonna get my stuff
down there if I oh my gosh,

598
00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:15.239
everybody's saying. Everybody's talking about how
the only one competition can survive and trying

599
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:16.519
to run each other out, and
everybody's trying to bash on there. My

600
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:21.039
suggestion with this, and I said
this. Another podcast that was on this

601
00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:27.760
past week is I would like to
see Memphis during the month of May become

602
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:34.800
a barbecue destination worldwide. It is
both these competitions work together and be like,

603
00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:37.960
oh my god, both of them
at the same time. Okay,

604
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:42.280
maybe maybe after this year, one
does one weekend, one does the next

605
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:46.400
weekend. Will they work together and
absolutely crush it? No, it would

606
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:51.559
be so great to see as as
a competitor. I would like to see

607
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:59.199
the best organized organization stand the unorganized
one. Bro. The time I did

608
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:02.280
it with you, when we do
it organized, they seemed like they had

609
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:06.519
their crap together. Everything was good. Yeah. I tried to sneak in

610
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:12.000
my seafood entry and that winter storm
tornado came in. The lady yelled said,

611
00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:15.639
turn around, you ain't doing that. They had their they had an

612
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:21.840
emergency. Everybody ran to the state
like there was dad, and you hope

613
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:23.159
that they do. You know.
It's like, yeah, and again,

614
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:29.960
I know there's a lot of people
who have some very strong views about it.

615
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:31.880
I personally don't know enough, and
I don't know if many of us

616
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:38.239
know enough about It's all the inner
workings to know is Arley bat Bragg part

617
00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:42.719
of the news. He's the promoter. It looks like he's the promoter of

618
00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:46.960
the event. Wow, Arley Bragg. Just so you know, Barrol used

619
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:51.920
to do a lot of the big
money contests out here on the West coast.

620
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.400
Okay, yeah, yeah, festival
every year and that's the only one

621
00:43:55.400 --> 00:44:00.239
you can remember. That's the one
in del Mar What about about mesquite like

622
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:06.159
that came? Oh you never did
the Oh that that's when Smitty was being

623
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:08.599
the weather reporter and somebody went home
with a lost dog, like there was

624
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:14.480
a straight dog young out with us
the whole weekend. Yo. That was

625
00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:20.079
also the time when Tom had a
partner from uh, what's his team's name?

626
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:24.880
Yeah, when when it was Paul
and Tom and Sonny got Paul drunk

627
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:31.679
and he could get up in the
boarder Tod was Tom was fits. That's

628
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:35.840
what you get hanging out with the
blue I guess, I guess we're to

629
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:37.440
wait and see how these two competitions
all work out, because I know there's

630
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:42.960
no other podcast where they went down
they went down holes and everybody's got theories

631
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:45.840
and everybody's angry and fired up.
It's like, let's let's let it play

632
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:47.840
out. Let's see how it's working
out. I would do if if Phil

633
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:51.440
and I were doing Memphis and this
skick, you know what we do do

634
00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:55.480
both? You go do Memphis.
I can do the other one. You

635
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:59.679
see what I'm saying, Like happened
with the most competitions can go inside and

636
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:01.960
work. Yeah. Yeah, the
rooms that are picking, like I get

637
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:07.199
it, that's fine. But you
got sixteen people with you split it up?

638
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:09.119
Yeah, man, you got you
got one bringing big money. Guess

639
00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:12.159
what the other one's gonna have to
raise their money. They want to survive,

640
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:14.800
and everyone's gonna make more money in
Memphis. That will never happen.

641
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:16.400
So let me ask you guys a
question. Let me ask you guys a

642
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:23.559
question on that, right, knowing
about the drama with Memphis and may Smoke

643
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:27.559
Slam now coming out you know,
new right, and then we got that

644
00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:35.239
new rib Association and then Casey B
is kind of falling by the waystside right.

645
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:42.920
I feel like Barbecue came out very
strong at a certain point, right,

646
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:47.559
and then it just drives. Is
barbecue here forever? Is there?

647
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:52.920
Because they right now contests will but
not even just contest. But I'm just

648
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:58.119
saying barbecue as a cuisine, because
barbecue is a cuisine and restaurants is gonna

649
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:01.239
be for exactly, but because because
you got traditional, right, it started

650
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:05.559
out, let's just go off with
the growth, right. It started out

651
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:08.960
traditional and it all had to be
landscaped from a certain area. So we

652
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:14.440
took that and beat that up,
right, So now you don't really have

653
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.960
to ask, like, you know, where's your barbecue from because it could

654
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:22.000
be from anywhere and you don't have
to be following a traditional recipe. But

655
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:28.679
now there's all these infusions with barbecue. So it's like almost like the evolution

656
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:31.559
of hip hop. Hip hop was
over a big base breakbeat, and then

657
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:35.599
now we got all of this mumble
wrap. Do we still call it hip

658
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:39.480
hop? Do we still call barbecue
barbecue? Once it starts in? Here's

659
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:44.960
the I think about it. I
think I think there was a time a

660
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:50.519
few years back where barbecue was the
new it thing. Yeah, I think

661
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:54.280
from a consumer point of view and
doing it on their own. I think

662
00:46:54.280 --> 00:47:00.360
the pandemic was very helpful for it. Very people were at home, couldn't

663
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:01.760
go to restaurants, They got bored, they wanted to do stuff. So

664
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:06.480
I think that was a huge boom
for it. That side of it,

665
00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:09.360
I think is kind of started to
plateau a little bit, go down and

666
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:13.480
plateau. But I do think it
also introduced a whole lot of new people

667
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:16.480
to the game that are kind of
keeping it up now. The restaurant side

668
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:21.880
of it, in the cuisine,
I think, I would say correctly wrong.

669
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.800
Late nineties, early two thousands,
everything was barbecue. There was a

670
00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:31.079
barbecue restaurant of some form on every
single corner. Ribs, chicken, chicken,

671
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:35.480
all these different places, right,
You had them all boom boom,

672
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:37.239
boom, and then they kind of
faded. And then I think the wing

673
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.639
craze took over. Were wings were
everywhere, yes, and then the whole

674
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:45.280
wood fired pizza craze took off with
the artist in pizza crazy. I think

675
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:47.360
it's all a big cycle. I
think it all kind of comes around and

676
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:51.360
it comes back around, you know
what I mean. You had your whole

677
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:54.840
gourmet burgers where people were going out
and spending you thirty dollars with the burgers

678
00:47:54.840 --> 00:48:00.280
that had the wagons. And what's
that crazy place out in Scottsdale, the

679
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:05.280
Burger Place, which one there's a
Burger one Paradise something well you got a

680
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.239
couple of you got rehab, rehab. It's incredible, it's incredible. But

681
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:10.679
again, you got all these different
places, right. I think it's very

682
00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:14.960
cycle. I think the good place
to survive. I think it kind of

683
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.079
goes in waves, it kind of
goes as it comes. I do think

684
00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:22.119
that sometimes the cycle is a good
thing because it weeds out some of the

685
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:28.639
places that shouldn't have serving from the
bags. Yeah, but is it choking

686
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:32.119
out the authentic restaurant? And in
some cases it is unfortunately, And I'm

687
00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:37.800
not going to make teams of companies, but there are companies out there that

688
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:43.880
are in the barbecue world that are
owned by massive conglomerates that they can buy

689
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:47.280
it cheaper, keep their price is
lower. Yeah. Yeah, that locking

690
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:52.000
their prices because like the you know, the ups and downs the food,

691
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:55.440
the meat price. The meat price
is crazy and you can't keep a structure,

692
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:59.679
you can't keep an overcome, You
can't keep raising your prices to your

693
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:02.719
cus they cannot keep absorbing. Yes, the increase in prices. I'll give

694
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:07.400
you a great example, a great
this is let's crack. The other day

695
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:10.880
Chipotle. Chipotle's prices went a little
bit like sixty cents. Yes. Do

696
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:15.159
you know how many people in this
studio or this radio station talking about that?

697
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:17.880
Dude, have you been at Chipotle? My old meally mused to be

698
00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:22.920
thirteen to twenty five. Now it's
fourteen to ten, and they're pissed.

699
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:24.199
Yeah, I'm sure it's one of
nineties. I'm sure people are pissed.

700
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:27.239
I'm sure. Like I remember when
he used to be eleven seventy five,

701
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:30.039
They're like, it's going up a
dollar forty yea, and they're going they're

702
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:35.320
breaking it down, and I'm like, yeah, that's thirty cents, forty

703
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:37.760
cents, sixty cents. People notice
that. Yeah, And you're right,

704
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:42.320
Phil, you can't keep raising your
prices. So you're gonna have to decide

705
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:47.719
as a restaurant owner. Are you
willing to sacrifice your profits, your well

706
00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:58.599
being, your family's well being,
your sustainability for reputation and consistent senior prices?

707
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:04.679
Yes? Or what I used to
do is cross use, right,

708
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:08.719
So like with the trimmings of the
brisket and stopped and overcome. That's what

709
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:13.960
I make money off of. Things
that you might whether thrown away, like

710
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:17.039
Smitty with his rib tips. Because
you see, though, what they came

711
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:21.320
out and said today or earlier this
week, they were talking about food trends

712
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.719
and food costs, pork is gonna
be It's gonna be gonna go way up

713
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:27.840
this year. I don't think it's
gonna go up. I think it's gonna

714
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:30.400
in Arizona. I think it's gonna
go down. It's gonna go up.

715
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:35.320
You know, the pork rule in
California correct changed. All those suppliers are

716
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:37.880
pulling out of California. Guess where
they're gonna go. It's gonna take time.

717
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:42.800
See guess when you drive forty five
minutes drop to drop the crap off

718
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:45.000
at my place. But then they're
gonna have to They're gonna have to move

719
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:49.119
operations. They're gonna have to do
that type of stuff that costs money,

720
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:52.199
that affects the bottom line. It's
not like they can be like, oh,

721
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:54.199
I already got this farm over here
set up. Let's go over and

722
00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:59.320
do it that base. I gotta
move operations and vegetables. I gotta move.

723
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:01.800
I gotta all this stuff. I
mean, the trends say pork is

724
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:04.760
gonna go up, which you don't
like to hear, but you, as

725
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:09.679
a restaurant own her how much you're
gonna pay for a pork button? Like

726
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:14.119
a dollar fifty dollars? Yeah,
for a time? How big of a

727
00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:16.559
pork butt? Oh? What are
they? Probably twelve? Okay, so

728
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:21.679
it's gonna cost you. What are
you gonna do? And the thing goes

729
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:25.159
up to five seventy At one point
it went out, we're going to adapt

730
00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:28.519
and overcome, bro. But you
see what I'm saying though, That's where

731
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:30.280
I look at what these restaurants and
I'm not trying to bag on you,

732
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:37.079
but that's what sucks, and I
hate and I hate that. I wish

733
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:39.360
and if I had mine in the
perfect world, it would be small business

734
00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:44.519
got one price and big business got
a different price. But it don't happen.

735
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:46.360
It don't happen. That would never
happen, and that's what I hate.

736
00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:51.280
Well, and your price gets adjusted
on the amount that you buy,

737
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:55.159
Yes, but you have to lock
it in and pay up front. Like

738
00:51:55.239 --> 00:51:59.880
so, I know I was at
the time when things was just banging,

739
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:04.840
I was like, Okay, alert
mean when you see the market change and

740
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:07.440
the rate is going to go up
on brisket, right because I knew I

741
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:12.039
was just pushing brisket and ribs out
right, and I'll be like, I'll

742
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:15.280
lock in that last skid you have
that it's solely for me. I don't

743
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:19.320
need it because I don't have a
whole lot of space, But lock it

744
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:22.840
in and send me my brisket.
But I had to pay up front for

745
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:24.800
that skid, you know what I
mean. But then I locked in that

746
00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:28.239
price. You know what I mean. They're not going to lock in a

747
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:32.440
price if they have to absorb a
new price. You see what I'm saying.

748
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:37.119
You gotta lock it in ahead of
time, Brodie got Here's another thing

749
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:40.159
I wanted a little bring up for
you. You know how this rib Cookoff

750
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:44.679
Association started, yes, right,
and it's created a big bus, yes,

751
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:46.960
like a big big bus. I
thought people were signing up. They

752
00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:52.400
got over like five hundred people signed
up for memberships and there wasn't even one

753
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:55.440
contest yet. Wow, but one
happened I think a couple yeah yeah,

754
00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:00.679

to throw any shade, but we are

755
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:06.039
don't drop the tongs, right yeah

756
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:14.960

a steak event and a ribbon from
one thousand dollars down to you know whatever

759
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:27.320

760
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:31.519
a rib event as well, pays
one thousand dollars and goes down. Plus

761
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:35.880

762
00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:39.000
you know that is that's adapting and
overcoming that you just said your competition,

763
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:45.440

836
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:42.119

If Demo Samuel is on the field, they're gonna two interceptions that they dropped.

843

You don't care the name of the
game. Demos in the game.

Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Line.

853
