WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.639 All right, welcome to don't drop the tongs. I'm barrel boy. Got 2 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:10.199 Kyle over there from your Behind Barbecue, Phil, the grill is here. 3 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:17.039 It is February twentieth, Tuesday. And you know, it is a day 4 00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.000 that we have all been waiting for for a while. It's a day that 5 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.000 I gotta be honest, I don't know if the three of us thought ever 6 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:31.480 would happen, and it happened last week. And well we saw it on 7 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:37.560 Instagram. And you know, if you file Kyle on Instagram at Your Behind 8 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.840 Barbecue, he's always posting a video wrapped in bacon. God bless him. 9 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.520 I mean, yeah, And what caught my attention is I see Kyle walking 10 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.359 and he doesn't have bacon in his hands. He's got a piece of paper 11 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.320 pants. Oh well yeah. I was like, okay, he's gonna he's 12 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.600 gonna hold up like a package of bacon. And then I see him walking 13 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.159 along and he turns, goes in front of the door of his new restaurant, 14 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.239 which we've been waiting for for I think before COVID, and we see 15 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.319 him turn and he puts this white piece of paper up on the door and 16 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:21.519 it says March first, we finally have a day. But the opening of 17 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.840 Birds and Bones from your behind barbecue, Lawrence Arizona. You should get that 18 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.719 tattoo, bro. Three one two four three one two four. Baby. 19 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.200 Yeah, it's been a long road, bro, it's been a very long 20 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:44.480 road. You get a tattoo over your tramp stamp. This is a family 21 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.159 friendly show. It's been a long road, dude, it has been a 22 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.879 long road. I mean, I think I think if we were have talked 23 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.319 to you, I don't know, around the fourth of July between I would 24 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.840 say from the fourth of July to about Labor Day this year, if you 25 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.280 would have said, yeah, this isn't gonna happen, because we were recording 26 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.959 the podcast and we'd be like, oh, you got any updates, and 27 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.919 Kyle would be like, oh well, and he would just grumble. And 28 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.599 it involved you. You were given the run around. You dealt with small 29 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:23.080 town politics, You dealt with an evolving city, going from small town to 30 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.360 evolving to bringing in new business. To you, I mean, it would 31 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.360 all way to the city council meetings. You had issues with a variety of 32 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.039 people, but in the defense of the City of Florence, they came to 33 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.919 the table they worked with you. The city of Florence is more excited for 34 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:44.120 you to come to town then I think about anything that's happened to Florence in 35 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.039 a long time. So congratulations to you. The people of Florence are gonna 36 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:51.840 be pumped, and you know, I think Lawrence are going to be pumped. 37 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.879 What's that the inmates, the inmates of Florence are going to Yes, 38 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.759 there is a prison. If you're not familiar, care everybody there is a 39 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.280 prison, then everybody Florence. But hey, exactly, you know what I 40 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:10.520 mean? Jump suits ourn't jumpsuit should be your your uniform. Yeah, we 41 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:19.639 have orange shirt Fridays and just put everybody's employee number on the back. You 42 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.840 should do that. But no, congratulations to you. So March first. 43 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.919 Tell us what March first is going to look like? What's the plan? 44 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.159 What's going on? Well? So to go? Well, yeah, so 45 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.159 you know, it's been a long road. It's been I mean we were 46 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.759 literally not working there for six months because we had an issue with you know, 47 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.319 some city officials. We had an issue. We're getting ready to sell 48 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.639 the place. We were going to sell it and say screw it, we're 49 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.759 done. We'll go find somewhere else to deal with all this. So they 50 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:52.800 came to the table. We got over that hurdle and yeah, and then 51 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.240 everything just started coming along. The you know, the back patio was coming 52 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.759 along and it's not where we want it yet, but we have to get 53 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.120 open. It's not where we want it. I'm not finished with it. 54 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:08.599 But if you'll ever be finished with it, no, because I think I'm 55 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.719 gonna just you're a tinker, and I don't mean that in a bad way. 56 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.520 You're a perfectionist. And I think I think it's like a person like 57 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.000 I have a buddy of mine who restores classic Lincolns, and you look at 58 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.079 the Lincolns. I mean he built one for Mark Wahlberg for pizza. Yes, 59 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.199 yeah, and you look at this Lincoln. You're like, this thing 60 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.399 is gorgeous, it's perfect, and he's always doing one other little thing. 61 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.680 And I think it's because you know, you have such pride in your work, 62 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.639 you'll never be fully happy. You'll always be growing and improving, which 63 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.160 is a great thing, versus being like, yeah, it's good enough, 64 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.920 I don't care, throw my hands up. Yeah, No, I'm I'm 65 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:46.319 definitely not that guy. It's it's it's as the back is. It's close. 66 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:47.920 It's not where we want it, but it is it is. It's 67 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.560 gonna have to work. It's gonna work for now, and my plan is 68 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.519 to get it open and in summertime, nobody's gonna want to sit outside anyways. 69 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.439 Everybody's gonna want to be in the ac and then that's when we'll build 70 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.800 the biggest ebo shade covering in the back, the pergola. Yeah, the 71 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:08.639 pergola or they call them fly fly sales or sale fly, whatever the hell 72 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.279 it is like on the playgrounds, we'll have that. We're gonna put misters, 73 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.920 it's gonna be TVs. We're gonna have a full big old coggerator system 74 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.480 back there. Yeah. It's just gonna be a cool like a cool spot 75 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.000 for you know, people to come hang out and where it could be all 76 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.040 year long too, but right now we're not at that stage. Every table 77 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:32.199 has umbrellas, so just for right now to get us open, you know, 78 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.160 you're gonna have to be sitting on under under an umbrella and then there's 79 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.040 a bar back there. But you know that's fine. I think people do 80 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.319 with an umbrella, don't you agree? Yeah, yeah, they should be 81 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.839 fine, because I mean, as much feedback as I got just from that 82 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.519 post. I mean people have been on you know. And the worst thing 83 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:54.680 about opening this thing is if you're gonna do something, don't post about it. 84 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.560 Just do it. Yeah, exactly, just do it, don't And 85 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.480 you know, my grand scheme of things was as soon we bought the building, 86 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.600 I had a banner already made ready to roll that said coming soon, 87 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.639 you know, behind barbecue. And I had this whole thing hung up outside 88 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.879 and it stood out there for like six months. I had to get approval 89 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.600 to hang this thing out there. Yeah, and since that day forward, 90 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.439 I got blown up emails, texts, well, it's funny, it's funny 91 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.160 you say that, like, and I now you bring it up. You 92 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.439 think about what other big companies do. For example, every day when I 93 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.519 drive to and from the studio, I drive by this construction project. I 94 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.800 could tell it was going to be some kind of a fast food restaurant. 95 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.319 I had no idea what it was going to be for the longest time, 96 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.839 and I'm like, yeah, when are they going to say what the heck 97 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.879 this dang thing is? And I mean to the point where like they built 98 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.079 it from the ground up, and I mean the construction fencing had who the 99 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.639 construction guys were, the finance people were on the developers, et cetera. 100 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:56.240 Brother, what is this? I mean they were landscaping the parking lot. 101 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.680 And also they put a sign up and said shake shack coming. Yeah. 102 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.680 I'm like, dang, I'm like look at this. And it was like 103 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.639 one of those things that made me think. I was like And as soon 104 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.000 as you said that, I was like, you're so right. They didn't 105 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.519 want people beating down the door. When is shit shack gonna open? When 106 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.040 is it gonna open? Because just down the road for me, there's a 107 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.240 there's a been a it was a bank that went out of business. Long 108 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.120 story. Anyways, they're gonna put a bos of donuts in there, which 109 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.639 is a local donut place. They put that sign up that they were coming 110 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.920 in September of twenty three. They're not open yet, and people on next 111 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.399 door and all of yeah, local groups are losing their minds and just talking 112 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.600 smack about this place. And I'm like, people, they're going from a 113 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.959 bank to a donut place. Yeah, Like that's a lot. That's a 114 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.920 big change over, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, you 115 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.480 gotta build out, you gotta do all this. But people don't get that. 116 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.920 I know, and I learned, and I learned a lesson that, 117 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.279 you know, the next time I go through this or I do you know 118 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.839 another project like this. I'm not telling nobody what it is. It's you 119 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:55.920 know, because I was just getting beat up. Man. It was just 120 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.680 it was just NonStop beat up. But you know, the place when we 121 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.480 started, I mean it was it was a Mexican food place, and it 122 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.720 wasn't the cleanest, and it was it got to the point where we weren't 123 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.120 gonna mess with the flooring. Flooring was gonna be fine. We're just kind 124 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.160 of do some things and open it. But then we started moving boots out 125 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:22.079 of there and they were disgusting. There was like mice crap everywhere, and 126 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.160 like the boots were disgusting. And then you know, you just keep digging 127 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.480 into things and next thing you know, the whole place is gutted. The 128 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.480 floors are gone, the drywall's gone, walls are ripped out. I mean 129 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.360 it's completely gutted. So he basically started from square one. Well that's a 130 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.879 testament to you of not saying, well, let's just put a band aid 131 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.120 on it, you know, and just say it's good. I mean, 132 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.440 you're the ones saying that. No, like you know, the sk Pandora's 133 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.240 box. Yeah, and not the screwed up part. But other business owners 134 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.879 down there that have restaurants, they were telling me, dude, just put 135 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.480 your sign up open the place and you're grandfathered in, because if you're down 136 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.320 for more than three months, then now the grandfather plan's gone, and now 137 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.159 your grandfathered in to where you wouldn't have to mess with the fire system, 138 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.639 you wouldn't mess you wouldn't have to mess with all these things that we had 139 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.639 to do basically. So basically it's a brand new restaurant. Basically we started 140 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.039 grandfather plan went away, and we started as a brand new place. So 141 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.320 from plans to I mean we had to it was just a it's just been 142 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.759 a nightmare. So we're past all that. Everything's good. I've had I 143 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.960 put I had the employees there all on Saturday, and it was they were 144 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.879 giving me crap because when I interviewed, I had twenty seven people apply and 145 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.919 I went through these twenty seven people and I had them all on a skype 146 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.080 interview and they're like, well, you know, why don't we just talk 147 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.919 on the phone. I was like, no, I want to see, 148 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.159 I want to look. I want to talk to you in person. And 149 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.559 then I you know, because I'm very uh, I'm not, I'm I'm 150 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.200 a walking HR violation. Let's just say that. I was gonna say, 151 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.039 I don't think you're supposed to be admitting that you needed to see the person 152 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.799 before you hired them. Okay, you know what our violations, this our 153 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.039 podcast works in HR. Their their toes just curled up with this guy. 154 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.559 I know, I know, and I didn't want to be this guy. 155 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.399 And KOLFEENI kept telling me. He's like, well, you know me, 156 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.519 and I was like, dude, I have to. I have to see 157 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.360 these people because I firmly believe and working at my job, I am a 158 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.679 hundred percent, like ninety nine point nine percent spot on with I can read 159 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.159 people like I can tell if you're not going to work, and I can 160 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.279 tell if you'll you'll be fine. So I went through it with these people 161 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.240 and you know, honestly, some nope and some absolutely blew me away. 162 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.399 And of course, you know, you do what I'm sure any post does. 163 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.080 My first time doing it, but I crept their social media's I you 164 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:45.080 know, I creeped on illegal not to look at their social media for public 165 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.399 knowledge. Anyways, I just want to make sure what I was getting into. 166 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.480 Had them all at the restaurant on Saturday. I explained everything that went 167 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.759 on and backstories and blah blah. I mean not to say, time will 168 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.080 tell, but I think we have a very very very very solid solid group. 169 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.600 Well good I had. I had the two cooks in the back and 170 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.720 my vision and I you know, I showed them everything that I was doing 171 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:16.480 and how I do stuff. And this one lady that works for me absolutely 172 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.200 blew me out of the water. She She's like, no, you need 173 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.720 to do this, this, this and this and this, and totally did 174 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.720 things and then just said get out of the way. And she went in 175 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.879 and did this whole thing. And I'm like, okay, I love you, 176 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:33.360 thank you. And she, I mean she absolutely showed you know her. 177 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.240 And then I have another guy back there too, he absolutely blew me 178 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.279 away. But I don't know. I think I think I have a strong 179 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.039 fit. I mean, I really feel our employees are so far. I 180 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.519 mean, time will tell when we open and all that. So what will 181 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:52.600 opening day look like, yeah, So I made these guys do a vote. 182 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:52.879 I'm like, well, what do you want to do. Do you 183 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.159 want to do a soft opening or do you want to just I personally just 184 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:00.480 want to open the doors and say let a roll baby, because inside we 185 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:05.879 only sit. There's thirty nine chairs and the occupancy inside is for forty forty 186 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.840 six people, so that's employees plus the you know, plus the chairs. 187 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.399 I said, screw it, I just want to open the doors and you 188 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.559 know, we'll do a couple of training sessions like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 189 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.399 and then boom they are like nope, we're we need to do a 190 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.720 soft opening. Everybody's inviting like one or two of their parents or however. 191 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.440 So did you get the invite? No, it's not afecial myself, it's 192 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.679 not yet. But when is the soft opening? I'm thinking it's going to 193 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.200 be Thursday before March first. So the I don't know what is twenty ninth 194 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.440 February twenty February February twenty nine days because the leap Thursday. Yeah, dude, 195 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.559 you got to do some kind of leap here thing. Yeah, but 196 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.600 put on our Facebook that if you're born on a leap here you get to 197 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.000 come in and eat for free, and eat for free. Seriously, they'll 198 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.480 have one hundred people come down, Like, dude, like the amount of 199 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.279 responses that I got from this, just that stupid video because I didn't know 200 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.320 what to do, so I said, screw it, just follow me. 201 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.600 I'm gonna tape the thing on there. I'll see you March first. Tip 202 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.960 a beer to the phone, see you it. It's gonna be insane, 203 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.240 like it's it's gonna but I'm so here's my problem. I'm so used to 204 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.440 running the food truck that we have, or the food trailer that you see 205 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.159 a massive line, there's the big window. You see a massive line, 206 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.759 and I'm nobody wants to run the register, So I'm stuck running that and 207 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.200 I'm always talking to people getting their orders and orders are in the kitchen, 208 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.519 and I'm on everybody's you know, I'm on everybody's ass saying we got to 209 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.559 get this out because now you got the next window where everybody's just congregating and 210 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.639 standing just looking through that window looking at you. You know. So I 211 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.840 always get freaked out about that a lot. You know, everybody that's ever 212 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.639 worked with me on the truck they know that I'm just I'm just an asshole 213 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.120 pretty much when we do this. But I think now that you know it's 214 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.720 a restaurant, it's a sit down thing, I think I'll be much calmer 215 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.720 because people are gonna sit down, They're going to order their drinks, They're 216 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.120 gonna look at the menu like, hey, sweetheart, what do you want? 217 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.639 You only have a limited number of tables on like a food truck. 218 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.279 Okay, if your tables are full, your tables are full, correct, 219 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.600 grant, you could have a wait outside. But it is what it is. 220 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.399 It's on like a food truck where there is no real tap. Again, 221 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.039 They're just they're coming and they just keep coming there and there's no exactly 222 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.519 That's what I'm saying. And that's what I am so personally used to. 223 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.840 And Phil, I'm sure you've I mean, you transitioned from a truck to 224 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:33.399 a restaurant and it's way different. I Mean, my biggest thing on the 225 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.200 we'll find out at the restaurant, But the truck was like I just hated 226 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.000 people standing there looking at me like, yo, get my food out. 227 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.320 You know what I'm saying, That's that's the show. But you know, 228 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.759 I know you you had good time management skills on your food truck, and 229 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:52.399 you know you just kind of put processes together and assembly line right, so 230 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.080 you know, I'm sure you have it planned out where everything is assemilily line, 231 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.759 so where the sandwiches are or whatever is created, then it passes through 232 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.600 close to the window where they're topping and dressing and throwing it up. You 233 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.639 know. Yeah, do you know what an expo is? Now? Yeah? 234 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.720 You know this. These the two cooks, the two cooks were throwing 235 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.519 these chefy words at me, and I'm just like, let's just start right 236 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.960 here. I'm not a chef at all. Zero And they keep telling me, 237 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.960 well, you know you came up with this and that, you know, 238 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.840 that's kind of what chefs. And I was like, no, I'll 239 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.600 take a pitmaster. You do not call me. I am not any of 240 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.080 that. I just feel like that's disrespectful. I didn't go to school for 241 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.159 that. I didn't go to I didn't do any of that stuff. Your 242 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:43.559 strongest person in your line is going to be your expo correct, especially when 243 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.519 it's crowded. So correct and that's just who's that. That's you? Okay 244 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.799 to me? Good good, good, good good, Because that person also 245 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.039 has the ability to send something back before it is sitting the table. So 246 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.679 the way we I got it set up and we're going to be running it 247 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.440 this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So if you guys would like to come 248 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.000 out and have some food, well Friday, Saturday, Sunday this weekend. 249 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.279 Yeah, this was the soft opening. We weren't invited to. This is 250 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:17.639 not a soft opening. This is just the cooks, me and Cisco and 251 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.919 all these other dang food people that are bringing all their stuff and anybody who's 252 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.559 listening to this podcast, come on down Friday Saturday. You have to know 253 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.720 the secret password. Don't drop the tongs. But uh yeah, so we're 254 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.360 gonna be we're gonna be running the running the show. So you know, 255 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.399 basically, these guys are gonna assemble the plates. I'm gonna be smoking all 256 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.120 the meats. I'm gonna be the night pitmaster, the night early morning pitmaster. 257 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.679 Get all the meats done, put them in the hot boxes and uh 258 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.840 you know, let those go. And then these guys are going to be 259 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.240 building the nachos, building the sandwiches, building you know, the wings and 260 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.000 just you know the different types of menu items that we have. But let 261 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:03.920 me tell you something. Trying to trying to figure out how to hot hold 262 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.799 your food, you know, because barbecue takes what twelve to twelve fifteen hours, 263 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.640 you know, hot holding your food. That was a whole science for 264 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.279 me to learn. And I think I got it. I think I got 265 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.119 it nailed. But you know, time will tell. So soft opening, 266 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:25.720 yes or not? Soft opening? The opening is full menu everything. Let 267 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.119 it was it brisket on the menu? Yes, we got thirty eight chairs. 268 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.799 And I've been telling everybody they had this massive car show on Saturday out 269 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.799 there. Massive I'm talking thousands and thousands and thousands of people knocking on the 270 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.039 windows and trying to come in. Everyone is jacked up. You need to 271 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.720 get there early. And the other issue I'm going to have is trying to 272 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:52.559 explain to people it's not like we can put something in a microwave or in 273 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.000 an oven and be done in fifteen minutes to bring you food to the table. 274 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.759 When the barbecue is out, we're out, you know what I'm saying. 275 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:06.039 And first first month, first month, we ain't gonna know nothing because 276 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.759 we don't have no data about how many people who's coming in. How you 277 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:14.359 know I have zero DA. I'm going in blind pretty much, so that's 278 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.119 going to be another obstacle. And you know, trying to explain to people 279 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:19.359 that, you know, barbecue takes a while. So if you want barbecue, 280 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.160 you need to come get in line. How's parking going to be? 281 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.799 So parking there were right on Main Street. So Main streets busy as hell, 282 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:32.279 and there's it's real, you know, everybody shares a wall pretty much. 283 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.920 It's a it's a west busy, yeah exactly. You know, one 284 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:44.079 one, one stage coach, one car every direct, so it's it's busy. 285 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.480 It's busy, uh in the front. But in front of us, 286 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.400 there's an abandoned parking lot or like an abandoned gravel lot that a lot of 287 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.359 people park on. So there's parking there. And then I'm going to tell 288 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.799 people there is a massive, massive parking lot hind the restaurant. So when 289 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.960 you type in your behind barbecue on your Google Maps or Apple Maps or whatever 290 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.039 it is, it shows us and you will see this massive parking lot directly 291 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.559 behind our building. You can park there and you can walk in through the 292 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:17.079 back, which will is also another entrance, uh into the patio, and 293 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:22.279 we'll seat you there too? Okay, so where does Phil and I? 294 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.759 Where do we park? Because when you guys are you guys? We're VIP 295 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.519 parking right up front? Right? I got it all, I got it 296 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.319 all? Do we get it? Okay? You remember like do we have 297 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.960 a table that has our nameplate on them? Well, but you've got you 298 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:38.880 got vi P, I got a VIP balloon. I'm gonna hang from the 299 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.400 from No, no, we want to go now. We want brass name 300 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:48.519 plates. That's later. And the table, this table is dedicated to bar 301 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.319 boy and film the grill exactly. You don't want that. And I'll shut 302 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.759 my trap because I keep talking a lot. But life really hit me this 303 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:02.920 week because I had to put in my resignation letter. Oh did you at 304 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.440 your job? At my aerospace job? Like, you know, I don't 305 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.920 know the rules, I don't know how this goes.

Yo, do you see my 334 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:18.240 young Phil profile? Bro? I to still to this day. I remember 335 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.759 when you showed up late to the last podcast. I was showing Beryl the 336 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:26.240 picture of you and he couldn't believe it was you on that profile. Yeah, 337 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:27.519 that's that's I don't know if i'd be rocket that, I don't know. 338 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:32.359 That's young Phil. All right. So March first, you open, 339 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.039 and you know it's gonna be a big day for you. But I do, 340 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:40.079 unfortunately have some bad news for you. I heard gonna it's not gonna 341 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.119 be a good day for you. It's not being a good day for you 342 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:48.000 because while your Birds and Bones does open on March first, and we've been 343 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.599 waiting a long time for it, also on March first, here in Phoenix, 344 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:57.559 that's where we record this podcast from. If you're not familiar, there 345 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:03.240 is a local pizza place called Pizza Awesome, Awesome Awesome Pizza. They got 346 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.119 locations all around the city. Starting March first, the Barrel Boy Pizza goes 347 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:14.480 on the menu like for like state done. It is what it is, 348 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.480 it's one of their menu items. It is one of their menu items. 349 00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:23.359 March first, I went and did a video photo shoot with them. It's 350 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:29.880 been a long process with them because Spinato's is a family owned restaurant that truly 351 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.359 cares about. Remind me a lot of you guys you know where you're talking 352 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.440 about. You put so much pride in it, you know, and it's 353 00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:41.359 like it's your name, your reputation. So to do this pizza, you 354 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:41.960 know, it wasn't just like hey, you know, what do you want 355 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:44.759 to do? I'll play you what's on here in a second. But they 356 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:47.880 were like over Christmas, they're like, you know, Anthony Spinada, who 357 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:51.119 is the owner and you know the shall we say, the one of the 358 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:52.880 top head people that puts it all together, was like he wants you to 359 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.279 come to his family kitchen, and he has a family kitchen that he cooks 360 00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:03.119 out of that. They prepare everything that goes to the restaurants every single day. 361 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.759 Oh so it's like a catering kitchen almost correct, and they prepare everything. 362 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.319 So they prepare all the dough, they slice all the pepperoni, they 363 00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:14.960 do everything other than assembling the actual pizzas because they want the absolute consistency. 364 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.279 So the sauce for the for the pizza or the sauce for the pasta, 365 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:23.440 everything is made and then it's shipped, you know, day of to the 366 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.319 local restaurant. So I had to go and had to make it something like 367 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:27.680 it was a bad thing. It was a great thing. I got to 368 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:33.000 go down to their family kitchen and learn and observe and see all that. 369 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:36.960 And then it's like all right now we're ready to go. So the pizza 370 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.440 comes out March first. It is called the Barrel Boy. It is it's 371 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:45.279 called the Barrel Boy. It's just it's just it's just badass. I'm not 372 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.160 gonna lie. So it's it's a obviously it's a you know, pizza, 373 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.920 sauce based regular red sauce based pizza. Their sauce is sweet. It's very 374 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:57.039 unique. I love it. Are we doing a thick crust, thin crust. 375 00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.799 It's a thin crust. It's their thin crust. They wouldn't let you 376 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.440 do a the old Detroit Huh No, that is what they do. You 377 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.960 know, they're they're known for their Chicago thin crust. I don't know that. 378 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.920 You're diehard Detroit from Chicago, born and raised. That's where they got 379 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.759 their start from. They moved out here like the seventies. Anyways. Uh 380 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:22.200 So it's it's obviously a red sauce, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, pepperoni 381 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:30.160 sausage, and then it's topped with ricotta and basil. It is fire and 382 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.279 it's one of those things like I kind of you know, it's not like 383 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.160 it's not like I was the first person ever come up with these flavor profiles. 384 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.200 I mean, it's like it's been done before. I'm not gonna be 385 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.000 like, oh my god, I created the greatest flavor profile ever. No, 386 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:41.799 I can't claim that. I mean, hell, it's a lot of 387 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.519 people make their pizzas that way. But it was one of those, like, 388 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.400 you know a lot of people, nobody had done it at their place 389 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.640 yet. So we had a last week we had a video slash photo shoot 390 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.799 with it, and the other people from my show came down and they're very 391 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.440 brutally honest to me, Like if something sucks, they'll be like that's good. 392 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.279 They'll be nice, and they'll be nice in front of you know people 393 00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.000 and behind the scenes. Tim specifically, if my show would be like that 394 00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.720 was god awful. I mean, he would tell me like that sucked, 395 00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.240 that's good, and he would do it. He wouldn't do it in a 396 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:15.480 mean way. He would just be very honest. That's this way they are. 397 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.480 Anyways, we get done, I call him, I'm like, dude, 398 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:19.759 what do you think. He's like, That's one of the best pizza 399 00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.680 ever had. He's like it is, oh fire. So I'm excited. 400 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.119 So that's gonna be on the many starting March first. Okay, do you 401 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:33.200 get any proceeds from this? Uh, it's as well as the recognis No, 402 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.319 it's more as the recognition of having, you know, having myself on 403 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:40.519 this. So are you in? Yeah? Are you gonna go on like 404 00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:45.559 a Spinado's tour and likes it's gonna be tied in. It's It's great because 405 00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.279 we're getting ready to launch another secret show, which is where a big concert 406 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.920 that's coming up. We'll announce the details on that it's coming up soon. 407 00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.640 So I will be at Spinata's locations giving away tickets and promoting it and doing 408 00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:04.519 that that stuff. And then I think sometimes my birthday is the sixth of 409 00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:08.720 March, so I think either sometime a right around there, I'm gonna have 410 00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:14.839 like a friends and family come out and enjoy the pizzas and podcasts from there. 411 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.759 I will invite you guys. I will invite you guys. But we 412 00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:19.559 got to make sure it doesn't turn into the Christmas party where there's eighty people. 413 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.759 You know, we got to keep it to smil adults. I wasn't 414 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.079 in charge of eighty people. I had ten. That was it. That 415 00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:30.880 was my allowance that party. It's funny that Christmas party. I was still 416 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.920 am finding random things left over from and I'm like, oh, I wonder 417 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:40.319 how that got there. Anyways, So heya, both both of us got 418 00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.559 big things. Yours is much bigger come in March. First, congrats thank 419 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.440 you to Kyle on that. Now we gotta transition to something else that we 420 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:49.000 found out last week. I know that this has been a big thing for 421 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:51.960 the three of us. Kind of behind the scenes, a little bit, 422 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.519 shall we say things that you know, there was lots of rumors, There 423 00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:57.799 was lots of things. I think all three of us new things, didn't 424 00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:00.079 really want to say things because we didn't really know what to say. And 425 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:04.640 we're talking about Green Mountain Grills. If you're not familiar, you can do 426 00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.000 the research because we're not going to get into a lot of the detail. 427 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.960 They're not going to bory the details. But long story short, Tregger and 428 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:17.400 Green Mountain Grills over the past couple years have been in a very intense lawsuit, 429 00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.680 very intense, and it has been it has been ugly, and it 430 00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.960 has affected both parties. Both parties have invested a ton of money in this 431 00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:32.480 and it's not been easy. And we the three of us, have a 432 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:36.440 great relationship with the Green Mountain We've said before they're not sponsors of ours, 433 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:38.960 but we truly believe in who they are. And it has a lot to 434 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.200 do with Jason Baker, who is, in my opinion, one of the 435 00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:47.519 best dang people in the entire world. And it came out last week. 436 00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.559 Greg Grempy said it on his show You Know More Details. He kind of 437 00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:53.440 broke the story. But their lawsuit is over. They have come to those 438 00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.640 The two parties have come to a agreement. Both parties are happy and they're 439 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:06.759 moving and the situation is the situations. Hey, you know what, I 440 00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.279 think they're both happy and I actually did talk Oh no, I did talk 441 00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:17.000 to Jason about it. And Jason is happy because Jason can go forward and 442 00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.240 push and be excited about his new products coming out that can be a sole 443 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:29.680 focus. They came to a settlement. They what. I don't. I'm 444 00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.759 not sure the exact legal Jargey, No, definitely, definitely, they agree. 445 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.599 They both both parties agreed to whatever the technical term is. But I 446 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.680 think the biggest thing is I'm just so dang happy. I'm glad it's over 447 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.880 with that. It's over because you know what, let's just move on. 448 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.119 I'm not gonna bash trigger. I don't. I'm not gonna do that. 449 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:49.359 I'm not gonna bash you. If you if you cook on a trigger, 450 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.759 that's you. You do you. But one thing I like about barbecue, 451 00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.480 and I think all of everybody who listens to the podcasts, and I know 452 00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:02.279 you two agree, I think, well, barbecues it's family. You guys 453 00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.759 go to competitions where you guys are competing side by side with each other. 454 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:10.359 It's at the American Royal at Memphis in May at oral Foods. You guys 455 00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:14.559 are going at each other, right, you're competing, But let's be real, 456 00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.920 Phil a grill shows up with a suitcase and he competes in the American 457 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:23.440 Road because people be loaning stuff to him. Barbecue's family. Barbecue is about 458 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:30.079 friends. It's about camaraderie. It's about competing but not having enemies. And 459 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.960 that's what I didn't like about when all this was going on between Green Mountain 460 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.880 and Tregger. And you know, again, I don't know what all the 461 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.640 details were that happened behind the scenes. I know that it I know that 462 00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:45.240 it put a great friend of mine in Jason Baker and a shall we say, 463 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.279 not always the best of moods. You never want to see your friends 464 00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:51.960 upset and you never want to obviously had an effect on Tregger as well. 465 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.240 You don't want to have an effect on anybody like that. So the biggest 466 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.960 thing I want to say is I'm glad to see that the fighting is over 467 00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.200 in the barbecue world and we can all go back to get along with each 468 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.640 other. And that's great. Yeah, yeah, you know, I I 469 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.519 agree, Barrol. You know, I don't want to bash anybody, but 470 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:14.480 I you know, one thing that comes to heart, right is how hard? 471 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.559 Right? So like Kyle Right, he's opening up a restaurant with his 472 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.119 family, right, so it's a family owned business. Right, He's putting 473 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:27.319 his passion is hard work in his time. And if somebody corporate came along, 474 00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:32.599 right, and there's a parking lot across the street, and Dickie's opens 475 00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.599 up across the street, knowing that he be nice to Dickies. I like 476 00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:41.400 dicki'es be nice to. But but I'm just saying to change. Yeah, 477 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.960 you know, that's never fun, right, And it's always you know, 478 00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:52.839 in my thought process, it's always whose money is longer when it comes to 479 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:57.440 that, right, How how long can you you know withstand? You know 480 00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:01.000 the legal fees? Right? Because I mean anytime you go see a lawyer, 481 00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:08.119 there's always some kind of a public public traded company too exactly, and 482 00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:12.960 they're a hedge fund, right, So that means yeah, so there's uh, 483 00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.440 you know, twenty and thirty different guys that you know have money and 484 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:22.200 they all invested together and then they kind of just run numbers. I'm not 485 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.960 going I don't know, but I'm not going to say this a whole There 486 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.279 was a whole lot of passion in that. So I'm just described what you 487 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:36.640 describe Barrol is passionate, family oriented people that go out and compete and we 488 00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.319 help one another and we share the same love because we have the same interest, 489 00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:44.720 the same passion, the same love. When you have just someone who's 490 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:49.480 just trying to get in for a dollar, it shows. And and that's 491 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:53.039 the difference, you know, when it comes to barbecue and then trying to 492 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:58.039 make a dollar. I mean, I've seen a lot of people, you 493 00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.599 know that try to get into barbecue game, you know. I know I 494 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:07.720 always knocked the celebrities or internet chefs and stuff like that, but even with 495 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:14.039 the internet chefs, you can see which ones are really passionate about what they're 496 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:17.680 doing in their videos and the ones that's trying to get an extra dollar, 497 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.599 you know, or trying to get another brand under their belt to give them, 498 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:27.359 you know, some money and some limelight so they could keep going. 499 00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:32.079 And that's what tees me off the most. On that is just whatever you 500 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:35.680 do, whatever you believe in, you know what I mean, make sure 501 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:37.200 you know what I mean. You're passionate about it, and that's what you 502 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.720 want to do. It's just like showing up. It's just like showing up 503 00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:45.640 at you know, McDonald's or Burger King and you know you really probably don't 504 00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:51.319 want that hamburger. But what makes it even worse is somebody just saying, 505 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:54.960 yeah, what yeah, okay, one yeah cheese, no cheese. But 506 00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.799 you know that doesn't make you feel good, that doesn't warm your soul, 507 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.000 you know. So that that's kind of like my my whole thought on that 508 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:09.119 whole Trigger and Green Mountain Grill. You know, Jason was very passionate about 509 00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:14.559 his product and what he brought to the table. He listened to the pros 510 00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.239 and cons that we gave him, you know, so he went back to 511 00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:21.960 the lab and created you know, all of these different versions of the Green 512 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:25.280 Mountain Grill was all based off of not because he was trying to use a 513 00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.320 less inferior and progative, but he was listening to what we were telling him 514 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:36.000 and bringing it back to the lab and trying to recreate something better, you 515 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.480 know. And that's passion, you know. I mean I got to say, 516 00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:44.000 you know, with Trigger, right, you know it, they come 517 00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.360 out with new product. But it's all about, you know, the latest 518 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:55.440 tech thing. It's not. It's just about makingality. It's just it's listening 519 00:34:55.440 --> 00:35:00.239 to people like Greenmountain Gross, like they have a I mean, and there's 520 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:04.599 a ton of Facebook groups, but there's a big Facebook Green Mountain Girl Facebook 521 00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:07.079 group, and people put their complaints in there. People put there, you 522 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:09.320 know, I love it this, I love this, I love that. 523 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.000 You know all that. And there's somebody that literally responds to all these guys 524 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:19.239 to be you know, the negative comments, but they listen to them. 525 00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:22.000 They listened to them, and that's why I think. I mean, his 526 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:27.400 first Green Mountain grill, I mean his the legs. I absolutely hated him. 527 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:32.559 The legs. Then little pipe, little freaking things. And the problem 528 00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:37.079 was, you know the great cooker. It cooked great, but if you 529 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.280 moved it, you can't move it. So we had to get these l 530 00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:45.800 brackets from home depot and we were l bracketing these legs and other people were 531 00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:50.079 taking the legs completely off and I completely I did the legs, took legs 532 00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.199 completely off mine. And my father is a big I mean, my fa 533 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.360 there's an amazing fabricator. I mean, you guys have seen my thing. 534 00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:59.199 I mean, my god, he fabricated the hell. I gotta, I 535 00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:02.159 gotta. I got a whole bottom rack that he built. I mean it's 536 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:06.119 sick, but I mean put bigger tires on it. But again, those 537 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:09.079 are all things. I remember the first time Jason saw it and it wasn't 538 00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:13.679 He saw it and was like, what did you do my grill? It 539 00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:16.760 was like, oh okay. Then he literally took it in and looked at 540 00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:22.079 it and cared. And you know, look at the new ones that are 541 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.840 not these latest new ones, but his second edition that he came out with. 542 00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:29.159 Look, those damn legs are The legs were bigger, the wheels were 543 00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.239 bigger, the wheels were better, you know, the casters were better. 544 00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:34.599 You're like, okay, you know, correct all these things. And then 545 00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:38.400 you know, like sorry, but like for what Phil was saying is you 546 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:45.639 could tell the people who care about their product barbecue wise, you know, 547 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.079 just like we were saying the love the passion for you know, competitions and 548 00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.440 all that other stuff. You can tell who's passionate and who wasn't. Because 549 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.159 Green Mountain Girls they listened, man, And every edition they came out with, 550 00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:59.920 I mean they even put a window in it. People were complaining on 551 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:01.719 Facebook. I remember, back in the day, man, it should be 552 00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:06.119 nice to put a window in here. And then some guy, some random 553 00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:08.320 went in there cut something, you know, cut the whole in the hood, 554 00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:13.760 put a plexiglass piece in there, and people started freaking out. And 555 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:15.440 you know, next thing we know, boom, we got a we got 556 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:21.960 a window. And well I remember telling him that. I remember he was 557 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.079 I don't know if I'm not gonna say I was the person tres imagination, 558 00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:30.079 but he stopped baking cookies in your green Mountain grill and looking in there to 559 00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.599 see if they know what I was gonna say, is I remember. I 560 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:38.199 remember he came he came up to NASCAR a few years ago and I had 561 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:43.840 one of the original OG's out there and you know, we're cooking in the 562 00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:47.760 dark and everything else, and I had taken like I had one on Amazon 563 00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:53.039 and bought like some cheap like almost like clip lights. I was like magnet 564 00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:55.280 lights and I was trying to like, you know, light and everything else. 565 00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:57.880 And I remember saying it. I was like, God, I wish 566 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.440 this thing he had a light in it, and likeing They're like, okay, 567 00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:05.159 you know, like all these granted they're not the only ones with lights 568 00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:07.360 out there. And again, I don't want to bash Trigger because here's the 569 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:09.840 thing I look about with Treger, and I know people will be like, 570 00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.440 oh, you know, you know, you guys hate Tregger. I don't. 571 00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:17.880 And I'll say this because Tregger. Tregger employs people via their influencer program. 572 00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:21.719 They provide for those people and their families. And you know what, 573 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:23.760 if you're if you want of the people who is part of their influencer program 574 00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:28.840 and you've been financially compensated for them and it's helped feed your family, I'm 575 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.159 all for that. It helps them. They employ people, multiple good friends 576 00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:37.079 that are a part of that exactly part of that program they employ. They 577 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:44.280 employ people you know locally, you know, and they put products in ace 578 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.239 hardware is and home depots that they're selling that are keeping doors open, that 579 00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:53.159 are helping to keep food on the table of local people all around the country. 580 00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:57.599 So I'm not bashing Trigger. I'm not that. I just want I'm 581 00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.159 just glad that it's over, yes, and I'm for it to be able 582 00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:06.000 to go forward. And also I want to say this, the new Green 583 00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:09.199 mountains are out, they're rolling out. I know that there looks like next 584 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:12.920 week we'll have them here in the Phoenix metro area and some of our places. 585 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:16.039 It looks like do yourself a favor. Go look at it. You 586 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:22.119 don't need to go buy one today. But Father's Day coming up, Memorial 587 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:28.960 Day, fourth of July, Black Friday sales, all those things coming in 588 00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:35.079 the it'll black Friday. Oh you know what I'm talking about, the going 589 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:39.320 forward in twenty twenty four and beyond. Go take a look at it and 590 00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:42.920 look at it, and you're really going to fall in love with it. 591 00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.079 And if you have any questions on when you go to make your purchase, 592 00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.840 think to yourself, where would I want my money to go? And this 593 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:57.039 is why I tell people you can buy whatever you want to buy, But 594 00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:04.000 would you want to support your great neighbor neck store that's going to call the 595 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.880 police if they see somebody sketchy out in front of your house, or call 596 00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:08.360 nine one one if they see smoke coming out of your backyard, because they 597 00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:12.480 care about you, your neighbor that you care about. Would you want to 598 00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:17.639 buy from them? Or would you want to buy from the data center next 599 00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:22.000 door that's just a big corporate building that no one knows who their neighbor is 600 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.559 next door. No one cares and doesn't care if if you tell me what 601 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:29.800 you'd want to support, what you'd want is your neighbor. No, definitely, 602 00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.079 you know. And like I said, and I'll say this over and 603 00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:37.519 over again, you ain't gonna find a better, more loyal, honest, 604 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.639 charitable man than Jason Baker Green Mountain Girls.

I know a lot of you guys out there 618 00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:30.239 have triggers and that type of stuff. Again, whatever you want, but 619 00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:34.280 what do you think are things that you need in your backyard? Like? 620 00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:37.480 What is what's in your backyard?

Let's go around the horn. 622 00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:47.280 Your backyard is my backyard in my backyard. So what's the difference. We 623 00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:57.639 have everything I must I know, But my point, he say, you 624 00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:02.119 guys and stuff, et cetera. So here, no, no, no, 625 00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:06.239 no, here here, here's the deal with the question. Barrel asked, 626 00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:09.679 Right, it's it's crazy and it's going to sound like a plug, 627 00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:15.440 but it's not. You know. So you know, I've been constructing this 628 00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:20.440 little like outside grilling area that I could do a lot of like videos and 629 00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:24.519 stuff at Right, So I went through drawing this up and and I'm like, 630 00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:30.559 okay, I'm going to put my up bro. I'm a construction guy, 631 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:32.679 right, I'm saying the contest. You yell at me for having a 632 00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:37.800 timeline and now you're on your building, your building, you know you can 633 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:39.719 film, now, go ahead, You're good. I'm just I'm just trying 634 00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:44.960 to point out the facts. Yo. So, so I got I got 635 00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:49.360 a kettle Weber right, So in my in my in my drawing, right 636 00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:54.519 in my player, I had a kettle Weber Weber kettle. I had a 637 00:42:54.559 --> 00:43:01.800 green mountain grill in the center, and then I had like just a pique 638 00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:06.440 right on the other side. Right. So I was like, okay, 639 00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:12.960 so now I can use the kettle and use the vortex and kind of like 640 00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.920 cook something with, right, and then I can use the green mountain grill 641 00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:19.760 to smoke something. And then if I want to put marks on it, 642 00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:24.960 I could use the PK with the grill brakes or whatever. Then I started 643 00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:35.639 thinking about Jason's new grill too. All three of those areas, I could 644 00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:40.400 do everything one grill bro with the Syrians station right, so I could I 645 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:44.679 could heat up stuff, I could grill on it, I could smoke, 646 00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:50.039 I could slow, I could do a pizza.

I got on this kick, I don't know, probably three or 660 00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:55.519 four years ago, especially during COVID, and I would collect these. You're 661 00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:59.360 restoring them and collecting them. No, I wasn't restoring nothing. I was 662 00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:04.639 just finding Weber's cheap as hell and bringing them home. It isn't that funny 663 00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:10.119 how many people were selling old school Webers that were worth value that they had 664 00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:15.519 no idea or throwing them away. And I and I honestly, that's probably 665 00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:22.000 between that. The Green Mountain Grill is probably my number one go tos. 666 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:27.800 I'm always I'm always Vortex and something, you know, because you know, 667 00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:31.639 my Popsy loves the Vortex chicken, so I'm constantly using that on the Webers 668 00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:37.760 carne a sada, you know, take the take the vortex out and I'm 669 00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:43.320 grilling over charcoal. I absolutely love the thing. Love Webers. I got 670 00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:45.679 all my cans, I got a indoor or, I got a built in 671 00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:50.639 pizza oven. I got a built in Santa Maria grill that I haven't used 672 00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:54.280 in a while that I need to start using. But like my go tos 673 00:45:54.320 --> 00:46:00.320 bro are honestly the Webers and the Green Mountain Grill. I mean that's because 674 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:04.320 you know that it's just so easy sometimes, you know, because it gets 675 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.199 so hot here and it's like you just go outside. You don't want to 676 00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:08.880 deal with it. Turn the damp button on it, go inside, let 677 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:12.519 it heat up. You know why you didn't do it? Wi Fi, 678 00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:16.320 it's even easier. Yeah, I ain't got time for that. But then 679 00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:20.360 I think my number one thing that I have that everybody kind of craps on 680 00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:24.400 me for is a like a weed torch. I bought a weed torch from 681 00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:30.119 uh uh yeah, and I hook it up to a big propane tank and 682 00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.760 I just get a lighter like this torch, and if I need to fire 683 00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:37.239 up charcoal real quick, I'll put that sucker right on the charcoal and fire 684 00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:39.360 it up and it gets five ten minutes. Because I ain't got time to 685 00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:43.639 sit there with the chimney. I think that, at least for me, 686 00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.440 my chimney days are long gone. I'm done scrolling with that. Or I 687 00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:52.320 put I put a couple of wax sticks underneath. I ain't got time for 688 00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:57.880 Kyle. I don't have time for that. I know some people are, 689 00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.440 you know, even lighting their cans. They'll put you know, Koffeini does 690 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:02.679 it all the time, Smitty does it all the time. They got those 691 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:07.199 wax cubes. Yeah, those what is that? The royal oak little weed 692 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:10.519 things down there, and they like that, And I mean that's what I 693 00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:15.159 do. I got I got one of those uh those torches as well, 694 00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:19.519 but you know which one's a cool I want one because now that it's like 695 00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:23.360 wintertime in Arizona and we've been doing some firepit action, I want to get 696 00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:28.320 that gun that goes on the pro paye take Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 697 00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:31.280 and and it it's it's actually like the torch, but it's just a 698 00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:35.639 smaller version of it. And it's more easier to you know what I mean, 699 00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:39.559 carry around and store and stuff like that than a thirty five gallon uh 700 00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:44.400 pro pain take. I love it. That was the part of my problem. 701 00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:46.880 I still got one in the in the shed, but I don't use 702 00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:51.199 it because I got to log around the thirty five pound pro pain take. 703 00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:54.559 Yeah. But but the flame on this thing, I mean, it's not 704 00:47:54.599 --> 00:47:59.239 a set flame like that gun kind of has a set flame. This thing 705 00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.039 you could crank, you turn the thing and it's it blows. I mean 706 00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:09.360 it is matt like, I'm that guy. I'm that guy at contests or 707 00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:14.559 early in the morning or wherever. And it sounds like a thunderstorm outside. 708 00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:20.239 Just so so just a side. Somebody was doing that like four in the 709 00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:25.079 morning, and I guess wasn't by paying attention to where he was pointing it 710 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:31.679 and he in his shoes and see, well he was doing the dam There's 711 00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:37.800 also there's also a downside to this torch. I had one, and Phil, 712 00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:40.880 you were at this contest, I had one for probably three or four 713 00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:47.480 years solid. And I'm lighting my charcoal and what's that girl's name? Sandy 714 00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:51.960 Brown flew in to California for this contest, and I loaned her a bunch 715 00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:54.280 of stuff. She's like the number one steak cook that's ever. She's crazy 716 00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:59.199 anyway, She's right up next to me and I'm lighting this charcoal and she's 717 00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:02.679 just watching me with this saying and I'm going to town. All of a 718 00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:08.079 sudden, you hear this, and I'm like, hm, what was that? 719 00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:15.199 This hose is like a rubber gas hose. Some of the charcoal was 720 00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:19.400 spitting up. When you use lump charcoal, you could get one lump, 721 00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:22.320 couple of lumps that will spit up and start shooting shooting coals back at you. 722 00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:28.760 One of those coals came and landed on that hose and broke a hole 723 00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:31.360 through that hose. So I played it cool, like I knew what I 724 00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:34.559 was doing, and I was like, I shut everything off, walked it 725 00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:37.000 by trailer. I grabbed a you're behind barbecue sticker and I put it over 726 00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:42.679 that hole. It went back to town. But that was that's the only 727 00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:46.360 that's the only, that's the only horror story with that thing. But I 728 00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:50.320 mean basically, that's what I have that I use all the time. I 729 00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:52.400 love it. I love it, but that's my go to. So you 730 00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:57.360 real quick, you know, you're talking about the Webbers and collecting the Webers. 731 00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.840 Yeah, so, I don't know. It was like it had been 732 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:04.559 a couple of months ago. A buddy of mine was just down the street 733 00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:07.280 from me, was like, yeah, he's like, you know, he 734 00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:12.239 goes. This old man across the street from me. He's like he's cleaning 735 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:15.559 on his garage or clean on his backyard or whatever, and he's like he 736 00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:16.280 was, he goes. I thought about calling me. He goes. He 737 00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:22.519 was throwing out some old Weber kettles, and I was like okay. He's 738 00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.960 like, yeah, he goes. But they were gone, like within minutes. 739 00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:28.320 They were out front of his house. I go, okay, and 740 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:31.360 he goes. One was like an old red one, you know, he 741 00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:34.880 goes, like burgundy one he goes, and one was real ugly goes. 742 00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:37.519 He goes. It was like key line color probably. Spinny picked him up 743 00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:42.280 and I was like what And then I looked him up and the dude had 744 00:50:42.320 --> 00:50:45.039 like one of the original like Traveler ones like the red and Black ones from 745 00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:47.800 like the sixties, and then he had like one like a key line one 746 00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:51.960 from the seventies scenes and those things are super rare. And I'm like, 747 00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:53.679 this dude had no idea what he had. He just tossing it outside like 748 00:50:53.719 --> 00:50:57.880 that, you know, no big deal, because I learned. I learned. 749 00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:02.440 Also, like during COVID, a good friend of mine started made invented 750 00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:07.760 for the vortex. He invented this thing, and he taught me because I 751 00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:15.960 picked up Bill Billy way hold On Scott. Bill got out before it was 752 00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:19.360 way out before COVID. Yes, correct, but my buddy that started it, 753 00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:23.320 Bill Scott copied. No, he created vortex. That's his that's his 754 00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:25.880 brand. Okay, all right, this was years ago. This was years 755 00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:30.559 ago, Okay, before it happened. Yeah, this was ten years before 756 00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:34.320 COVID, right when I got into barbecue. That's how I met him. 757 00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.400 He lives in Tucson. Yeah. Anyways, Yeah, so during COVID he 758 00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:42.400 invented cortex. Yes, yes, but what does it have to do with 759 00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:46.440 COVID. I'm I'm trying to get to the point there, Phil, Okay, 760 00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:52.480 So I got this Weber and I'm you know, and I got this 761 00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:54.920 old school Weber that this guy from work was getting rid of. He didn't 762 00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:57.920 want it. He got out of the yard sale for like a dollar or 763 00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.119 something, so if you want it, you can take it him. I'm 764 00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:01.119 like, yeah, I'll take it. And his old school got a wooden 765 00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:06.239 handle and everything on it. And it was like an ugly ugly like a 766 00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:08.599 teal, but like not really a teal. I don't know, it's like 767 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:13.480 an egg. I don't know. So Bill's on I don't know. Bill 768 00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:15.599 sent me a text because I posted it on Facebook, or I posted on 769 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:20.239 Facebook, but I just picked up and Bill sent me a text. He's 770 00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:24.480 like yo, He's like, go down to the wheel and inside of on 771 00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:29.920 the inside of the wheel, it'll have a number on it, what number 772 00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:35.599 it is, And he says, look that number up on Google and you 773 00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:37.119 can look it up. And then this Weber website pops up and you can 774 00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:42.239 type the numbers in there, and it tells you what year it was made 775 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:45.639 and how much it's worth and all this stuff like that I thing was worth 776 00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:47.440 like one hundred and fifty bucks whatever, but it was old school.

Hate hate hate eight exactly. Well, if 825 00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:08.679 you follow fill the Grill on Instagram, what did you see come out last 826 00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:14.159 week? Old super Bowl video where I did a smash burger. Well, 827 00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:16.880 where you get that a second, You made a smash burger. You made 828 00:56:16.880 --> 00:56:22.360 a smash burger. You used your DK you put a gridl on there. 829 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:27.079 You made yourself a smash burger. You literally use the press they used to 830 00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:30.239 mock from people at their big heavy press. You did everything that you mocked, 831 00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:37.039 You made directly. I did it correctly. Well you know you did 832 00:56:37.039 --> 00:56:42.159 it correctly. You did it correctly, but you did it incorrectly because you 833 00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:45.880 said it was for the super Bowl. You posted in a week after the 834 00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:50.320 super Bowl. I wanted the super Bowl post to get out of the way 835 00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:53.199 till everybody in the video. You literally say in the video, this is 836 00:56:53.320 --> 00:57:00.440 perfect for your super Bowl party next year. But Baryl Brow, you missed 837 00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:05.199 the best part. He had seed somebody there with him. Oh the guy 838 00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:07.880 was like, I like it cooked the medium medium, and Phil goes, 839 00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:15.599 nah, no, full the way. What is that that three? That's 840 00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:24.039 three bourbons in full the way medium, but full all the way. That 841 00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:29.800 made sense to him.
