1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,360
Pete Stroke, what's happening?

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,660
What's up?

3
00:00:02,660 --> 00:00:03,620
Happy Friday.

4
00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:06,180
We got an awesome, awesome episode today.

5
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:10,140
If you guys have any questions or statements or comments

6
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:12,660
or suggestions or you want to talk some shit,

00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:16,140
and we'll make sure we share that.

9
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:17,220
Nick, how are you, my brother?

10
00:00:17,220 --> 00:00:18,340
How's everything going?

11
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:19,900
Doing good, doing good.

12
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:22,140
I'm glad to be hanging out with you guys tonight.

13
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:24,020
Oh, man, we're going to have a good time, that's for sure.

14
00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:25,860
Drop a comment and a question down there,

15
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:27,860
and stick around for the answer, because we'll make sure

16
00:00:27,860 --> 00:00:29,420
we get back to you guys.

17
00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:32,540
But coming in here pretty soon is going to be Slick Willie,

18
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:36,220
AKA Adventures of a Fat Guy.

19
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:38,300
What are you guys doing this Friday night?

20
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:39,780
Anybody sipping on something already?

21
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:41,220
What are you guys drinking?

22
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:42,780
What are you guys cooking?

23
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:47,140
You're sipping on some modellos and chewing on some rib eyes?

24
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:48,340
That's what's up.

25
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:49,460
How'd you cook those rib eyes?

26
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:52,140
What were you cooking those on?

27
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:54,900
That Santa Maria over some bread oak?

28
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:58,060
Ooh, that's what I'm talking about, yeah.

29
00:00:58,060 --> 00:00:59,860
Mike Willie is, he's getting all cleaned up.

30
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:03,060
He seen me with the fresh shave, he had to get one too.

31
00:01:03,060 --> 00:01:04,980
Go ahead and grab yourselves a cold one.

32
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:06,700
This is going to be a fun episode tonight, boys,

33
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:07,980
I'm telling you.

34
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:11,100
Slick Willie will be in the house tonight.

35
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:15,220
Everybody, without further ado, allow us to welcome

36
00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:18,220
the homie Willie, Adventures of a Fat Guy.

37
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:20,420
Got a lot of cool shit going on.

38
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:22,100
What is happening, my brother?

39
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:23,300
How are you doing tonight?

40
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:25,060
What it do, what it do?

41
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:27,980
Man, we just out here living, baby.

42
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:28,820
Salud to you.

43
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:30,820
Thank you for making the time to come out

44
00:01:30,820 --> 00:01:33,460
and getting all lined up for us, bro, bro.

45
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:34,940
Man, it's all love, man.

46
00:01:34,940 --> 00:01:37,180
I had to get, I mean, I had to make sure that,

47
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,380
how we looking, how we looking at it,

48
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:39,340
make sure the fade was right.

49
00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:42,380
Bro, you looking dapper as a mug.

50
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:44,740
Yeah.

51
00:01:44,740 --> 00:01:46,460
How's the audio, we good?

52
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:47,820
Man, you sound amazing.

53
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:48,660
You sound amazing.

54
00:01:48,660 --> 00:01:50,380
Let me hear you sing something real quick.

55
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:53,980
Carmiasada on the block, no, sorry, my bad.

56
00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:54,820
Yeah.

57
00:01:54,820 --> 00:01:55,660
Yeah.

58
00:01:55,660 --> 00:01:56,500
Yeah.

59
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:59,220
But guys, so we got somebody here to suit

60
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:00,780
someone everybody loves, man.

61
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:04,740
He is your favorite barbecue guy's favorite barbecue guy.

62
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:06,180
I'll tell you that for sure.

63
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:08,620
Adventures of a Fat Guy absolutely kills it.

64
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:10,660
Willie, he brings nothing but heat

65
00:02:10,660 --> 00:02:12,620
when you're talking about cooking.

66
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:15,100
But the jokes, man, he will have you laughing.

67
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:16,100
Your ribs will be hurting.

68
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,420
I'm telling you, this guy's one of my favorite guys

69
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:20,260
I ever had a chance to hang out with.

70
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:22,260
So thanks for coming on, letting us all get to know you

71
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:23,620
a little bit more, my man.

72
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:24,900
Hey, good looking out, guys.

73
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:26,220
Hey, man, I'm glad you got ribs.

74
00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:29,220
I don't need, like, I think, theoretically,

75
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:31,220
I should have ribs, but I don't know where they're at.

76
00:02:31,220 --> 00:02:33,100
I mean, I've never really felt them.

77
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,700
But I kind of know where they should be, you know what I mean?

78
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:38,980
So what's going on?

79
00:02:38,980 --> 00:02:41,140
Oh, man, let's just kind of jump right into this thing, man.

80
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:42,980
You got a lot of stuff going on.

81
00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:44,780
You got some amazing partnerships, right?

82
00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:47,100
You're another one of the jealous devil boys.

83
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,460
You know, you are doing your thing with the scrub daddy

84
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:51,980
guys, too, you know what I mean?

85
00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:52,820
I mean, it's been.

86
00:02:52,820 --> 00:02:54,900
And you're out there, you're showcasing products.

87
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:56,260
You're out there on the stage.

88
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:57,380
Tell me a little bit about that.

89
00:02:57,380 --> 00:03:00,180
What's that like being on stage in front of people?

90
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:02,580
Are you already comfortable with it, or are you still

91
00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:03,620
working through that?

92
00:03:03,620 --> 00:03:05,180
No, actually, you know what I'm going to do?

93
00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:06,500
I'm going to bump up the lights here real quick.

94
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:07,300
Hold on.

95
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,820
Yeah, go ahead, do what you do, brother.

96
00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:11,620
And that's how you dodge a question, boys.

97
00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:13,140
No.

98
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:14,420
So check it out.

99
00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:17,100
So funny story, a lot of things people don't know about me,

100
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:19,140
and I'm just getting my voice back since Memphis,

101
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:20,820
so my apologies.

102
00:03:20,820 --> 00:03:24,740
But I've been a DJ for, like, over two decades.

103
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:26,620
So that's kind of been my side gig.

104
00:03:26,620 --> 00:03:29,540
So I've done a lot of radio stuff, a lot of local stuff.

105
00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:32,700
On there with big boy, my boy ODM from 1991,

106
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:34,580
like some crazy stuff.

107
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:36,980
Owned my own mobile DJ company for like two decades.

108
00:03:36,980 --> 00:03:40,340
Well, about 17 years I was pro, 17, 18 years.

109
00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:43,860
And so being on a stage and being in front of people

110
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:45,020
is just like nothing to me.

111
00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:46,940
I'm just so used to it, right?

112
00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:49,020
So being on a mic was kind of nothing to me.

113
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:52,340
But I didn't know that that was going to carry over into this

114
00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:56,820
because I just never connected the dots, right?

115
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:58,700
So I was kind of like a lot of us.

116
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:03,460
I was doing a lot of pictures, right?

117
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:04,580
A lot of that type of stuff.

118
00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:07,180
And then I recognized that, well, actually,

119
00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:09,220
it was my videographer, my boy Ernst.

120
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:10,820
He was like, yo, check it out, bro.

121
00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:13,340
Like, if you're going to be adventurous, a fat guy,

122
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:15,340
we need to see your adventures, homeboy.

123
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:16,660
So you got to be in front of the camera,

124
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:20,660
and you got to do, you know, we got to do videos.

125
00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:22,140
So it just wasn't my thing.

126
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:23,700
I wasn't into videography.

127
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:24,980
I wasn't any of that.

128
00:04:24,980 --> 00:04:28,780
But eventually, we transitioned over into videos.

129
00:04:28,780 --> 00:04:32,780
And that's just kind of where the brand kind of took off.

130
00:04:32,780 --> 00:04:34,540
So I'll give you guys a little bit of backstory

131
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:36,980
on how the brand even started, right?

132
00:04:36,980 --> 00:04:39,380
So I'm not gigging as much.

133
00:04:39,380 --> 00:04:42,300
I'm not doing what it is that I normally do.

134
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:44,100
My daughter's getting older.

135
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:45,700
And I'm like, man, what are we going to do?

136
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:47,620
Pandemic kicks off, right?

137
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,900
And so obviously, I'm not gigging.

138
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:53,460
People aren't hiring DJs the way they were.

139
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:55,860
And I'm like, man, what am I going to do with this?

140
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:59,020
So I was like, OK.

141
00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:01,100
I came up with the idea, and I came up

142
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:05,060
with the name sitting right here, exactly where I'm at,

143
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:07,460
right now, in this exact seat.

144
00:05:07,460 --> 00:05:10,100
And I was actually pissed off, because I was like, man,

145
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:12,020
there is zero chance nobody has this.

146
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:16,460
So I'm thinking underscores, dots, abbreviations, right?

147
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:19,580
So I put it in IG, and it said, the user not found.

148
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:20,540
Nice.

149
00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:27,740
I googled the domain, and nobody had it, which is super rare,

150
00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:28,060
right?

151
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:30,540
Because we all come up with ideas and concepts and shit

152
00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:31,940
that we kick around.

153
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:35,580
But I was like, man, it's just meant to be.

154
00:05:35,580 --> 00:05:37,380
So I told my wife, I was like, you know,

155
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:39,260
I think I'm going to flip my page.

156
00:05:39,260 --> 00:05:40,220
She was like, for what?

157
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:42,780
And I was like, well, I mean, everybody,

158
00:05:42,780 --> 00:05:44,060
because it's the pandemic, right?

159
00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:46,700
So everybody started posting their cooks there, all the shit

160
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:48,260
that they were doing in the house.

161
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:51,820
And I was already doing that since I was 18 years old, 17.

162
00:05:51,820 --> 00:05:55,460
And I was like, man, what if I start documenting my stuff,

163
00:05:55,460 --> 00:05:56,940
how I do stuff?

164
00:05:56,940 --> 00:06:00,340
And that was the whole concept behind it.

165
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:01,660
But when I came up with the name,

166
00:06:01,660 --> 00:06:05,180
and I came up with the logo, it just took off, bro.

167
00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:06,620
It was like wildfire.

168
00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:08,020
People loved the concept.

169
00:06:08,020 --> 00:06:08,860
They loved the name.

170
00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:09,780
They loved the logo.

171
00:06:09,780 --> 00:06:11,220
And they're like, yo, there really

172
00:06:11,220 --> 00:06:13,380
is a fat dude behind this brand.

173
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:17,780
And yeah, man, and here we are four years later.

174
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:19,700
Damn, the rest is history, as they say.

175
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:22,220
The rest is history, brother.

176
00:06:22,220 --> 00:06:24,780
So I'm still fighting this cold for Memphis in May.

177
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:27,140
I'm just now trying to get my voice back.

178
00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:31,020
So on that note, because you guys are such amazing people,

179
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:32,140
we got a little Henny White.

180
00:06:32,140 --> 00:06:33,460
Oh, that's what's up.

181
00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:34,260
Look it.

182
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:35,900
Shout out to the white folks in the room.

183
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:42,580
So we're going to drop a little Henny White to you guys

184
00:06:42,580 --> 00:06:45,700
and to all these amazing people that follow me.

185
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:51,420
Man, yo, I ain't shit with you guys, but cheers, guys.

186
00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:52,220
Salud.

187
00:06:52,220 --> 00:06:53,020
Salud.

188
00:06:56,140 --> 00:06:58,180
I feel you want that voice, also, brother.

189
00:06:58,180 --> 00:06:58,980
I'm over here.

190
00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:02,060
I'm recovering from bronchitis.

191
00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:03,100
I've been struggling, man.

192
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:05,460
I don't know if you caught any of last week's episode.

193
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:06,860
I'm sorry, Mike.

194
00:07:06,860 --> 00:07:08,940
Half that time, I was holding in a cough.

195
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:12,620
Man, I felt like I held a coffin for a good 40 minutes then.

196
00:07:12,620 --> 00:07:15,540
For real, like people don't understand the struggle, right?

197
00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:18,780
So man, but shout out to you guys in the continued success,

198
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:20,420
everything you guys are putting together,

199
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:25,340
and just highlighting just the local community.

200
00:07:25,340 --> 00:07:27,420
A lot of people, I should say a lot of people,

201
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:30,180
some people don't realize this grassroots effort is

202
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:31,460
what we do, right?

203
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:34,300
We support each other, try to build each other up.

204
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:36,700
Dude, I see constantly how many reposts

205
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:40,500
you're doing of people that are using your seasonings on.

206
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:43,460
That is just so dope, the way you guys support each other.

207
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:46,620
And to me, that's what all this is about.

208
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:48,500
How do we raise each other up?

209
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:50,900
How do we lift each other up?

210
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:52,980
And how do we continue to grow as a community?

211
00:07:52,980 --> 00:07:57,780
So the people and the brands that have supported me,

212
00:07:57,780 --> 00:08:01,420
when I first started out, a good friend of mine,

213
00:08:01,420 --> 00:08:05,420
she reached out through a crazy, crazy turn of events.

214
00:08:05,420 --> 00:08:06,860
We started talking.

215
00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:09,620
She was actually the person who hires all the social media

216
00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:12,820
people for Scrub Daddy.

217
00:08:12,820 --> 00:08:16,060
She said, yo, we have this new product that's

218
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:18,220
getting ready to drop, and I think you're

219
00:08:18,220 --> 00:08:19,900
the right man for the job.

220
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:23,740
So that was the birth of Barbecue Daddy.

221
00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:25,060
They hit me up.

222
00:08:25,060 --> 00:08:26,700
They said, we want you to drop it.

223
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:30,100
So I hired my videographer, Erns.

224
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:31,780
Shout out to life with Erns.

225
00:08:31,780 --> 00:08:33,620
People were tripping out on me, because I was one

226
00:08:33,620 --> 00:08:35,020
of the first people back then, this

227
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:36,820
was a little over four years ago,

228
00:08:36,820 --> 00:08:38,620
using an actual videographer, right?

229
00:08:38,620 --> 00:08:41,220
And there were times where he was making more money

230
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:41,900
than I was.

231
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:43,940
I mean, he was making money, and I wasn't.

232
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:45,500
But I didn't care about that.

233
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:47,540
Honestly, at that time, I was literally

234
00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:49,060
just trying to build a brand.

235
00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:51,740
And he needed to get paid what he was worth, right?

236
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:54,660
And so shout out to Erns for believing in me.

237
00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:56,300
And we did some dope videos.

238
00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:00,700
And between three videos, he did over 20 million views.

239
00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:02,740
He went stupid viral.

240
00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:05,100
And people started paying attention to me,

241
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:07,500
and they started paying attention to Barbecue Daddy.

242
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:11,660
And next thing you know, I have the owner, Aaron,

243
00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:15,420
himself from Scrub Daddy, call me.

244
00:09:15,420 --> 00:09:17,740
And he's like, hey, I don't know if you know who this is.

245
00:09:17,740 --> 00:09:20,900
And I was like, who doesn't know who you are, brother?

246
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:22,660
But how'd you get my number?

247
00:09:22,660 --> 00:09:24,340
He's like, hey, man, I got my ways.

248
00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:26,940
And he says, hey, I need you to not make any Barbecue Daddy

249
00:09:26,940 --> 00:09:29,660
videos for the next 90 days.

250
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:32,340
And I was like, I thought I shit the bed, right?

251
00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:33,380
I was like, what did I do?

252
00:09:33,380 --> 00:09:36,260
He was like, listen, man, you sold this out.

253
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:37,740
You can't keep up.

254
00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:40,820
And I need you to not create any content so that we

255
00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:47,220
can build up enough inventory so that we can set ourselves

256
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,180
up for summertime.

257
00:09:49,180 --> 00:09:51,260
And that was how the relationship started.

258
00:09:51,260 --> 00:09:57,060
So eventually, I kind of evolved into the Barbecue Daddy, right?

259
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:58,700
So it's kind of crazy.

260
00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:00,700
And there's a new venture that we're just

261
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:02,900
dipping into right now at Scrub Daddy.

262
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:07,020
We just did the Las Vegas show with them.

263
00:10:07,020 --> 00:10:10,700
I was there for four hours, and the execs from Home Depot

264
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:11,420
were texting me.

265
00:10:11,420 --> 00:10:14,540
And they were like, yo, I'm not sure if you're aware of this,

266
00:10:14,540 --> 00:10:16,500
but you're going to Memphis in May.

267
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:17,540
And we're going to send you.

268
00:10:17,540 --> 00:10:18,460
We're going to send Chuck.

269
00:10:18,460 --> 00:10:20,460
We're going to send Mike, Blazing Star.

270
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:21,580
You already know, right?

271
00:10:21,580 --> 00:10:25,140
And they're like, we're just going to do it.

272
00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:27,020
And I was just so honored, right?

273
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:28,900
Because that's the big dance, right?

274
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:32,340
Who the hell am I, and why should I be at Memphis in May?

275
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:35,300
So we did an onstage demo, me and Chuck.

276
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:37,740
It was just bananas, the opportunity

277
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:38,740
of a lifetime for me.

278
00:10:38,740 --> 00:10:42,020
So a little bit of a backstory, kind of where we're at now

279
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:45,620
and how things have come to fruition from Scrub Daddy,

280
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:48,660
Jealous Devil, now Home Depot.

281
00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:52,540
It's amazing to me that these global brands have

282
00:10:52,540 --> 00:10:53,660
wanted to reach out.

283
00:10:53,660 --> 00:10:55,340
And I don't have the biggest platform, man.

284
00:10:55,340 --> 00:10:56,420
I mean, don't get me wrong.

285
00:10:56,420 --> 00:10:58,340
I'm definitely not talking shit on what it is that I got,

286
00:10:58,340 --> 00:10:59,220
right?

287
00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:01,220
I'm blessed to have a little platform that I got.

288
00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:06,780
But it's nothing like Chuck or my boy, Tone, TFTi.

289
00:11:06,780 --> 00:11:08,020
These guys are monsters.

290
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:10,460
But here we are still representing

291
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:13,420
some of the same brands on the same platforms

292
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:14,420
in the same arena.

293
00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:19,460
So I just get excited that I'm even here, right?

294
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:21,900
It's like you walk into that party where all the big dogs

295
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:24,220
are at, and you're like, shit, here we are.

296
00:11:24,220 --> 00:11:25,220
Yeah.

297
00:11:25,220 --> 00:11:26,460
You're one of them, my brother.

298
00:11:26,460 --> 00:11:27,940
You're definitely one of them.

299
00:11:27,940 --> 00:11:29,980
You definitely deserve your spot at the table.

300
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:31,700
There's no doubt about that.

301
00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:34,540
And it's cool to see these global companies that they

302
00:11:34,540 --> 00:11:37,820
don't focus purely on quantity, but they also

303
00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:39,100
focus on quality, right?

304
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:42,060
And that's something that someone like you has, right?

305
00:11:42,060 --> 00:11:45,820
Even if you're talking your overall numbers, right?

306
00:11:45,820 --> 00:11:47,540
Your numbers may not reflect the same

307
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:50,340
as what you'll see with some of these other guys.

308
00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:52,620
The quality absolutely does.

309
00:11:52,620 --> 00:11:54,380
So the people that are.

310
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,980
Yeah, there's no doubt about it.

311
00:11:56,980 --> 00:11:59,540
And it shows when you can represent a product

312
00:11:59,540 --> 00:12:02,060
like that Barbecue Daddy and immediately

313
00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:04,340
affect the business, right?

314
00:12:04,340 --> 00:12:05,700
Shout out.

315
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:07,900
I noticed Nick just shouted out Famous Dave's, right?

316
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:09,260
Famous Dave's in the house.

317
00:12:09,260 --> 00:12:12,300
They actually follow me because of my,

318
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:13,980
who's now my business partner.

319
00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:16,100
I'm going to drop something here shortly.

320
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:21,180
But Eduardo from 187 and we're BlackSmokes187

321
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:24,900
from Barbecue Showdown.

322
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:26,220
Shout out to my boy.

323
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:27,580
Just killed it.

324
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:30,180
But again, these are the connections that we have, right?

325
00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:33,060
We're all this tight, tight, close knit community.

326
00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:36,260
Alex, she was just on Next Level Chef, right?

327
00:12:36,260 --> 00:12:37,340
These are my people.

328
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:39,940
I cook with them side by side in Texas

329
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:41,740
in all these different states that I'm in.

330
00:12:41,740 --> 00:12:43,780
And you know what, Tone's Pad.

331
00:12:43,780 --> 00:12:45,300
All this crazy stuff that these people

332
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:48,660
that we're able to meet and then to see them transition

333
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:50,580
over to these dope opportunities.

334
00:12:50,580 --> 00:12:52,460
And we're still the homies.

335
00:12:52,460 --> 00:12:54,340
They still shout me out.

336
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:56,780
That part is just amazing for sure.

337
00:12:56,780 --> 00:12:58,220
Who's this fucking nerd?

338
00:12:58,220 --> 00:12:59,060
Hold on a second.

339
00:12:59,060 --> 00:13:01,060
Who's this fucking nerd in here?

340
00:13:01,060 --> 00:13:02,380
It's E.G.?

341
00:13:02,380 --> 00:13:05,260
Who's that fucking nerd talking shit about Ed?

342
00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:06,420
It ain't fucking whack.

343
00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:07,860
Shut your fucking mouth.

344
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:08,700
Get out of here.

345
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:11,060
So I'm gonna give you a little insight

346
00:13:11,060 --> 00:13:12,540
that's actually Ed's brother.

347
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:14,900
Oh, shit, nevermind, my bad homie.

348
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:16,620
I'm sorry about that.

349
00:13:16,620 --> 00:13:17,460
I'm sorry about that.

350
00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:19,020
Fuck all that shit you want.

351
00:13:19,020 --> 00:13:20,420
So that's my boy Oscar.

352
00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:21,940
Sorry, Oscar.

353
00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:23,300
My apologies, Oscar.

354
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:24,140
Oscar's the shit, bro.

355
00:13:24,140 --> 00:13:25,660
I think you're gonna appreciate it.

356
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:27,900
I'm just scared enough for your brother, man.

357
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:31,020
Man, I thought you got me on that shit.

358
00:13:31,020 --> 00:13:31,860
You got me.

359
00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:32,820
I'm sorry, go ahead.

360
00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:34,780
Ed gives him all the credit.

361
00:13:34,780 --> 00:13:37,620
So like Oscar, he's got his other brothers.

362
00:13:37,620 --> 00:13:40,660
He comes from this family of cooks,

363
00:13:40,660 --> 00:13:43,700
like classically trained chefs.

364
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:46,140
And these guys cook their asses off.

365
00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:48,780
So when people see what it is that Ed's doing,

366
00:13:48,780 --> 00:13:50,940
and they're like, yo, you don't even know

367
00:13:50,940 --> 00:13:53,580
what my carna is doing, like my bro Oscar, my bro.

368
00:13:53,580 --> 00:13:55,860
Like all of his brothers, they're just,

369
00:13:55,860 --> 00:13:57,380
they're next level.

370
00:13:57,380 --> 00:14:02,100
One of them owns a sports bar slash pub,

371
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,140
you know, in the Santa Clarita area.

372
00:14:04,140 --> 00:14:07,220
Like it's crazy, like the amount of talent

373
00:14:07,220 --> 00:14:08,460
in this family, right?

374
00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:11,780
But it just so happened that his little platform

375
00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:12,980
took off, right?

376
00:14:12,980 --> 00:14:16,260
And then he wound up nailing a barbecue showdown,

377
00:14:16,260 --> 00:14:18,020
and you'll hear it in the show.

378
00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:19,500
You'll hear it in a constantly,

379
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,220
he's always giving his brothers, his jefito,

380
00:14:22,220 --> 00:14:25,820
his brother, Matt, or his pops, mad shout outs,

381
00:14:25,820 --> 00:14:27,740
because that's where he got it all from.

382
00:14:27,740 --> 00:14:29,740
So yeah, it's funny that you,

383
00:14:29,740 --> 00:14:32,420
but see, just what you just did right now

384
00:14:32,420 --> 00:14:35,940
is how we are as a family, how we are as a community, right?

385
00:14:35,940 --> 00:14:37,620
Like who's this buster right here

386
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:40,420
talking shit about my boy, because that's what we do,

387
00:14:40,420 --> 00:14:41,900
we get each other's back, right?

388
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:44,820
Because without each other, yeah, we could stand up,

389
00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:45,780
but only for a little while.

390
00:14:45,780 --> 00:14:50,180
But collectively, we're like an amazing power of people.

391
00:14:50,180 --> 00:14:53,100
And that right there is a perfect example.

392
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:54,980
So shout out Oscar, I love you bro, bro.

393
00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:56,540
I'm sorry, Oscar.

394
00:14:56,540 --> 00:15:00,220
No, and actually, hold up, was it Oscar?

395
00:15:00,220 --> 00:15:01,940
Was it his brother?

396
00:15:01,940 --> 00:15:04,700
Hold on, let me see, it might've been his brother Eric.

397
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:05,540
Let me see.

398
00:15:05,540 --> 00:15:06,360
E.G.?

399
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,340
Let me see who it was, was it, it's E.G.?

400
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:09,220
Yeah, it's E.G.

401
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:11,500
Oh yeah, that's his brother Eric.

402
00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:14,740
That brother right there, that broke cookie's titties off,

403
00:15:14,740 --> 00:15:15,740
let me tell you.

404
00:15:15,740 --> 00:15:18,100
Eric is a freaking, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what's up, Eric.

405
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:19,020
Good to see you.

406
00:15:19,020 --> 00:15:20,020
The funnier one.

407
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,820
So Eric is a freaking beast, but it's a trip, right?

408
00:15:23,820 --> 00:15:26,740
So we got Oscar and Eric, like to see what it is

409
00:15:26,740 --> 00:15:28,460
that they've done as a family,

410
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:30,340
and the way that they've carried the tradition on

411
00:15:30,340 --> 00:15:33,300
is beautiful, man, I just, I love seeing it.

412
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:34,540
Those are my people.

413
00:15:34,540 --> 00:15:37,580
And now Eduardo's my business partner, so.

414
00:15:37,580 --> 00:15:38,420
Oh, sick.

415
00:15:38,420 --> 00:15:39,260
It's pretty dope, man.

416
00:15:39,260 --> 00:15:41,300
That's, you know what, I'll tell you,

417
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:44,340
when it comes to that shows, and Ed specifically,

418
00:15:44,340 --> 00:15:46,780
I love the way he represented for himself,

419
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:50,000
for his family, like seriously.

420
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,500
I thought he was really transparent.

421
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:53,940
You know, a lot of times you'll see people,

422
00:15:53,940 --> 00:15:58,700
they'll get on TV, and obviously none of our guys, right?

423
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:01,300
A lot of our friends have made it big on these shows

424
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:03,340
and stuff, and they've done really well for themselves.

425
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:04,980
But some of these other folks, they get on there,

426
00:16:04,980 --> 00:16:07,060
and it's like their time to shine,

427
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:09,420
so they put on a little bit, so to speak,

428
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:11,020
you know what I mean?

429
00:16:11,020 --> 00:16:12,980
But he really remained humble.

430
00:16:12,980 --> 00:16:16,580
He was an amazing representative for not only the community,

431
00:16:16,580 --> 00:16:17,460
but also his family.

432
00:16:17,460 --> 00:16:19,980
That was my big takeaway in watching that show,

433
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:21,940
it was just the way he carried himself.

434
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:23,700
I was supposed to be on that series with him.

435
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:24,520
No way.

436
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,060
Yeah, so Netflix had reached out to me like three times,

437
00:16:29,060 --> 00:16:31,100
and I turned him down like twice.

438
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:35,660
That one right there, I did, I followed through.

439
00:16:35,660 --> 00:16:38,220
Towards the end of it, I was like, man,

440
00:16:38,220 --> 00:16:39,620
because I don't compete, right?

441
00:16:39,620 --> 00:16:41,580
I'm not a competition cook,

442
00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:43,140
and I'm not professionally trained,

443
00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:45,740
not to say Edwigs or any of these other dope ass people,

444
00:16:45,740 --> 00:16:48,420
right, but I'm not classically trained,

445
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:50,780
and I'm like, man, I'm gonna be the fat kid

446
00:16:50,780 --> 00:16:53,820
for me, Stella, are they gonna make me into,

447
00:16:53,820 --> 00:16:55,820
you know what I mean, the sucker that's in there

448
00:16:55,820 --> 00:16:58,740
with all of these people, all these dope ass people, right?

449
00:16:58,740 --> 00:17:00,940
So I wanna pull him back on it,

450
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:04,380
and win, lose, or draw, that was my choice.

451
00:17:04,380 --> 00:17:06,420
I did it, I pulled back on it.

452
00:17:06,420 --> 00:17:07,860
I was like, listen, I'm gonna dip out

453
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:08,780
at this phase in the game,

454
00:17:08,780 --> 00:17:11,300
but I had already made it to like third or fourth round.

455
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:13,860
So yeah, we were really close,

456
00:17:13,860 --> 00:17:16,540
but it's dope to see how many in my family,

457
00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:18,780
you know, to see like Eduardo, you know,

458
00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:20,820
Budden, I've shot, there was a lot of people

459
00:17:20,820 --> 00:17:23,660
that made that cut, and shout out to them,

460
00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:25,700
and they made the best, you know,

461
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:30,700
look at all these dope people that we chop it up with,

462
00:17:30,940 --> 00:17:35,860
and that are like now gone on to these shows,

463
00:17:35,860 --> 00:17:37,740
and to see their platforms blow up,

464
00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:41,260
it's just, it's amazing to me, it's just hella dope.

465
00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:43,500
It is really cool to see, man,

466
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:44,700
and that's why they say, right,

467
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:47,780
take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself,

468
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:51,340
because you never know when the next one's gonna come.

469
00:17:51,340 --> 00:17:53,260
You just don't know, look at Michelle,

470
00:17:53,260 --> 00:17:54,340
money Michelle, right?

471
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:55,180
Yeah, yeah.

472
00:17:55,180 --> 00:17:58,180
So we got to know each other, we were doing our thing,

473
00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:00,420
and then I was like, listen,

474
00:18:00,420 --> 00:18:03,260
I remember she reached out to me when I followed her.

475
00:18:03,260 --> 00:18:05,100
She shot me a text, and she was like,

476
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:08,700
hey, listen, I know you don't follow very many people,

477
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:10,660
I'm just honored that you would give that to me,

478
00:18:10,660 --> 00:18:12,780
and thank you for following my journey.

479
00:18:12,780 --> 00:18:14,820
And I was like, I was super humbled,

480
00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:17,460
like I'm just a nobody, like what the hell,

481
00:18:17,460 --> 00:18:19,860
like why are you honored that I'm following you?

482
00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:22,220
But I, and I told her, I said, listen,

483
00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:24,900
we all have a purpose, we all have a route

484
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:26,180
that we're gonna drive down, right,

485
00:18:26,180 --> 00:18:27,700
and a road that we're gonna go,

486
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:31,140
and you never know, you're gonna hit it big on something,

487
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:32,660
and people are gonna look up to you.

488
00:18:32,660 --> 00:18:36,140
My favorite saying in life is,

489
00:18:36,140 --> 00:18:39,740
the toes you step on today could be connected

490
00:18:39,740 --> 00:18:42,220
to the ass you got to kiss tomorrow.

491
00:18:42,220 --> 00:18:46,320
So never shit on anybody, because whoever the hell it is

492
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,420
that you shit on today might be the next person

493
00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:50,100
you're reaching out to going, hey,

494
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:52,260
could you give me a hand with this, right?

495
00:18:52,260 --> 00:18:54,180
So, and I shared that with her.

496
00:18:54,180 --> 00:18:56,880
So when she landed the show, I was like, shit, yeah,

497
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,700
that's my girl, congratulations to you, Alex, right,

498
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:03,260
she just did next level chef, like all these people

499
00:19:03,260 --> 00:19:06,260
that are just part of the community that we're in,

500
00:19:06,260 --> 00:19:10,060
and to see them growing and expanding their brands is,

501
00:19:10,060 --> 00:19:13,700
it touches my heart, bro, like that's what this is all about.

502
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:16,260
And those two women that you're mentioning right here,

503
00:19:16,260 --> 00:19:19,980
Michelle and Alex, man, they know their way

504
00:19:19,980 --> 00:19:21,700
around the barbecue, man, they can cook

505
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:23,700
with the rest of them, man, I'm telling you.

506
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:26,820
So I've cooked elbow, like shoulder to shoulder with them

507
00:19:26,820 --> 00:19:30,300
in the pits, bro, and they will cook your ass off,

508
00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:31,420
let me tell you.

509
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:34,300
Alex is right there doing, shoveling coals,

510
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:39,100
doing a whole cow, a whole steer that we did in Texas,

511
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:42,760
and just bust their ass, doing it, making it happen.

512
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,580
Like that's just dope to see, and Michelle as well,

513
00:19:45,580 --> 00:19:49,080
like she's just super humble, but she's a beast,

514
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,500
she's a sleeper, you don't realize what it is

515
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:54,300
that she's capable of, and shout out to her

516
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:56,340
for doing what it is that she did on the show.

517
00:19:56,340 --> 00:19:59,140
So part of me is like, eh, should I have pulled out,

518
00:19:59,140 --> 00:20:01,820
but the other part of me is I did it my way,

519
00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:05,980
the way that I wanted to do it, and they still reach out,

520
00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:07,620
there's still more opportunity coming,

521
00:20:07,620 --> 00:20:09,420
and we'll see where we go.

522
00:20:09,420 --> 00:20:13,540
Absolutely, man, and honestly, everything happens for a reason.

523
00:20:13,540 --> 00:20:15,420
So if that's what you felt was the right thing for you

524
00:20:15,420 --> 00:20:18,500
in that moment, that was the right thing to do.

525
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,620
No regrets, you can't have regrets.

526
00:20:20,620 --> 00:20:23,920
Zero, man, you gotta write this out to the fullest, right?

527
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,220
Because people hand this up all the time,

528
00:20:25,220 --> 00:20:28,540
hey, would you do this different, or they kinda,

529
00:20:28,540 --> 00:20:30,260
I'm sure you guys hear it all the time, right?

530
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:34,740
Like what's the pathway, like what's the direct path

531
00:20:34,740 --> 00:20:36,700
of doing what it is that you're doing,

532
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:39,260
and traveling the country, and getting paid

533
00:20:39,260 --> 00:20:41,940
to create content, and I don't know.

534
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:46,660
The only thing I could tell you is I held true to myself,

535
00:20:46,660 --> 00:20:49,900
which is I wanna create the best content I could,

536
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:52,780
which to go back to what you were talking about, Nick,

537
00:20:52,780 --> 00:20:55,260
which was the quality, right?

538
00:20:55,260 --> 00:20:57,740
And this is where I gotta bring in my boy, Ernest,

539
00:20:57,740 --> 00:20:59,820
shout out to life with Ernest.

540
00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:01,340
Like I mentioned, you know, there was times

541
00:21:01,340 --> 00:21:02,700
where he was making more than I was,

542
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:07,080
but I saw the potential with brands like Scrub Daddy,

543
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,060
major global brands that I saw were reaching out to me,

544
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:12,460
like how can we function together?

545
00:21:12,460 --> 00:21:15,660
And I was like, well, he had always told me,

546
00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:17,780
listen, I think you got the raw talent,

547
00:21:17,780 --> 00:21:20,220
but what's gonna extend to, what's gonna bring all that out

548
00:21:20,220 --> 00:21:22,080
is quality content.

549
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,380
So you have to do quality,

550
00:21:24,380 --> 00:21:26,260
and I think we're able to help you with that.

551
00:21:26,260 --> 00:21:29,820
So again, I brought in a professional videographer,

552
00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:31,660
and we were off to the races.

553
00:21:31,660 --> 00:21:33,660
And before you know it, you know,

554
00:21:33,660 --> 00:21:36,320
Smithfield was reaching out, like major brands

555
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,420
that I just signed on right now with Stacom.

556
00:21:38,420 --> 00:21:40,260
Shout out to my people at Stacom.

557
00:21:41,140 --> 00:21:44,300
They're an old school brand, we probably grew up on it.

558
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:46,740
You know, it's a frozen, it's a frozen meat.

559
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:48,020
But if you grew up the way I did,

560
00:21:48,020 --> 00:21:49,660
and you grew up with a lot,

561
00:21:49,660 --> 00:21:52,340
like A, it was something that we used, right?

562
00:21:52,340 --> 00:21:53,900
Household stable.

563
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:57,060
Facts, so those are the brands that I try to partner with.

564
00:21:57,060 --> 00:21:58,780
If you see something on my page,

565
00:21:58,780 --> 00:22:00,940
there's a connection to someone.

566
00:22:00,940 --> 00:22:03,820
It's somebody that I know with the product that I used,

567
00:22:03,820 --> 00:22:05,700
it's something that I grew up with,

568
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:08,660
and that's the way I try to incorporate their brand

569
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:12,700
into what I do, because the minute I lose that,

570
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:16,820
that sincerity, right, or that connection with my audience,

571
00:22:16,820 --> 00:22:19,100
they call bullshit immediately, you know, man.

572
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:19,940
100%.

573
00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:21,860
Your brand's, your followers call bullshit,

574
00:22:21,860 --> 00:22:24,300
and as they should, they should call me out.

575
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:26,280
But you know, when they, when they,

576
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,940
I try to keep those instances few and far between,

577
00:22:29,940 --> 00:22:32,380
and that they know if it's on my page,

578
00:22:32,380 --> 00:22:35,540
it's something I'm using, it's something I believe in,

579
00:22:35,540 --> 00:22:38,180
it's a partner of mine, they see me post

580
00:22:38,180 --> 00:22:40,700
some big seasonings, they see me post,

581
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:43,540
they're gonna know, yo, this is good shit,

582
00:22:43,540 --> 00:22:45,860
and he's using it for a reason, you know what I mean?

583
00:22:45,860 --> 00:22:47,340
Absolutely, yeah.

584
00:22:47,340 --> 00:22:52,060
It results in more genuine content, ultimately, right?

585
00:22:52,060 --> 00:22:54,700
And that just resonates better with people.

586
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:57,300
Nobody likes seeing just commercials,

587
00:22:57,300 --> 00:22:58,260
you know what I mean?

588
00:22:58,260 --> 00:23:00,820
If it's not genuine, if you're not loving the product,

589
00:23:00,820 --> 00:23:03,700
if it's not something that you will confidently recommend

590
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:06,260
to somebody else, then it's just gonna come off

591
00:23:06,260 --> 00:23:08,420
as some commercial, you know what I mean?

592
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:10,180
But when you truly believe in the product,

593
00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:12,880
you can comfortably recommend it to other people,

594
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,380
it comes off real genuine, and people are real quick

595
00:23:15,380 --> 00:23:17,300
to jump on board and show support

596
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:19,460
like they did for Barbecue Daddy with you, you know?

597
00:23:19,460 --> 00:23:21,100
Because that's not what you want, right?

598
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:22,540
You don't want people to be like, yo,

599
00:23:22,540 --> 00:23:24,420
what's this fool showing me now?

600
00:23:24,420 --> 00:23:26,960
And shout out to the people who do that.

601
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,500
I mean, if that's how you make your cheese,

602
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:31,340
I ain't mad at you, Claire, like, do you.

603
00:23:31,340 --> 00:23:33,620
The only thing I can speak on is how I'm trying

604
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:36,420
to do me, and how I'm trying to do me is keep

605
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:41,420
that sincerity, keep that direct tie where people know,

606
00:23:42,860 --> 00:23:45,600
when they come to my house, guess what?

607
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,620
There's Scrub Daddy sponges in that sink over there.

608
00:23:48,620 --> 00:23:52,440
When they go over there, there's blazing star seasonings

609
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,280
right over there.

610
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,300
When they see me fire up the grill,

611
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:56,380
guess what I'm loading with?

612
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:57,920
Jealous Devil Charcoal.

613
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,820
When they, you know what I mean?

614
00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:02,380
Like, the genuine connections that they see me use,

615
00:24:02,380 --> 00:24:03,940
when they come over, I've had people come over

616
00:24:03,940 --> 00:24:05,860
that aren't used to what it is that I do,

617
00:24:05,860 --> 00:24:08,140
and they're like, shit, you really use this?

618
00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:09,500
You're damn right I do.

619
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,700
This is what I provide for my family.

620
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:13,900
We believe in this.

621
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:15,440
This is what it is that we do.

622
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,020
It's not just a paycheck.

623
00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:18,980
The minute, in my opinion, you sell out

624
00:24:18,980 --> 00:24:21,380
and you think that it's just gonna be a paycheck,

625
00:24:21,380 --> 00:24:22,640
people will call bullshit.

626
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,620
Your audience will call you out,

627
00:24:24,620 --> 00:24:26,620
and they're gonna be like, hey, man,

628
00:24:26,620 --> 00:24:28,620
I see what you're doing, and God bless the people

629
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:29,860
that get away with it.

630
00:24:29,860 --> 00:24:31,380
It's just not for me.

631
00:24:31,380 --> 00:24:35,180
My purpose isn't here to talk shit on those people.

632
00:24:35,180 --> 00:24:37,780
It's just to share with you how it is I've done it,

633
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:42,780
why I do it, and why it is that such major brands

634
00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:47,600
have blessed me with wanting to make a connection

635
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,580
with me and my brand, even though my platform

636
00:24:50,580 --> 00:24:53,040
isn't as large as, it's crazy,

637
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,500
because we sit down, we have these little talks with,

638
00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:58,520
man, TFT.I, right, Chuck's Flavor Trade,

639
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,780
these are my boys, my brothers, platforms

640
00:25:01,780 --> 00:25:04,840
that are three, four, five times as large as mine,

641
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,240
and here we are in the exact same negotiation

642
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,260
with the exact same companies,

643
00:25:10,260 --> 00:25:12,820
spitting out the exact same numbers.

644
00:25:12,820 --> 00:25:14,200
That's an honor to me.

645
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,540
That's an honor that they see these type of brands

646
00:25:16,540 --> 00:25:20,020
and they look at me and go, yo, I hold you on that level.

647
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:22,900
Shout out to that man.

648
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:23,740
Shout out to that man.

649
00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:25,340
Oh, absolutely, man.

650
00:25:25,340 --> 00:25:27,740
Tone, Chuck, all of those guys,

651
00:25:27,740 --> 00:25:29,700
and even more that have yet to be mentioned, man.

652
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:32,060
There's a lot of heavy hitters out there

653
00:25:32,060 --> 00:25:33,260
that are doing great things.

654
00:25:33,260 --> 00:25:34,980
Al Fragoni.

655
00:25:34,980 --> 00:25:37,380
Al Fragoni, legend, of course, man.

656
00:25:37,380 --> 00:25:42,380
I'll never be able to repay him for spending that time

657
00:25:42,420 --> 00:25:45,660
with my son and working with him and showing him the ropes.

658
00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:46,620
Remember that?

659
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:49,700
You talk about heartfelt moments, man.

660
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:53,100
I was definitely, I was in my fields for sure

661
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:55,260
over at Tone's House when I was going down.

662
00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:58,100
As a father, I saw that and I was like,

663
00:25:58,100 --> 00:25:59,460
this is what it's about.

664
00:25:59,460 --> 00:26:00,980
This is beautiful.

665
00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:05,980
And the fact that Al recognizes that,

666
00:26:07,260 --> 00:26:09,140
and is like, yo, this is a pivotal point.

667
00:26:09,140 --> 00:26:11,100
He doesn't fake the funk, right?

668
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:13,380
He ain't doing it just for shifts and giggles,

669
00:26:13,380 --> 00:26:16,740
but the fact that he recognizes that and embraces it

670
00:26:16,740 --> 00:26:19,180
and is like, yo, I might be able to reach out

671
00:26:19,180 --> 00:26:21,060
to the next generation here

672
00:26:21,060 --> 00:26:22,860
if I'm able to make that connection

673
00:26:22,860 --> 00:26:26,180
and let him know that this young man is welcomed

674
00:26:26,180 --> 00:26:28,100
and is a part of us.

675
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:30,020
He's gonna carry that for the rest of his life.

676
00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:34,580
That is a core memory between Al, yourself, and him

677
00:26:34,580 --> 00:26:36,020
that he's gonna carry on for forever.

678
00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:36,860
That's beautiful.

679
00:26:36,860 --> 00:26:38,340
That is what it's all about.

680
00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:39,180
Exactly.

681
00:26:39,180 --> 00:26:41,540
The next generation, 100%, man.

682
00:26:41,540 --> 00:26:45,460
Let's, obviously we can keep riffing and going for days,

683
00:26:45,460 --> 00:26:47,180
but I wanna make sure we can get to some of these questions.

684
00:26:47,180 --> 00:26:49,300
I know people have asked some questions.

685
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:51,300
So what do we got, Nick?

686
00:26:51,300 --> 00:26:54,180
So first question from Blazing Star Barbecue.

687
00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:55,620
Does Willie have a special edition

688
00:26:55,620 --> 00:26:57,260
scrub daddy for the shower?

689
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:04,140
Aye, so it's something we've been cooking for a minute.

690
00:27:04,140 --> 00:27:07,620
I really wanna do a limited edition.

691
00:27:07,620 --> 00:27:11,020
It's something that the owner from Aaron,

692
00:27:11,020 --> 00:27:12,180
I know him as Aaron, right?

693
00:27:12,180 --> 00:27:16,300
It's crazy the fact that they're this billion dollar company

694
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:17,740
and just call him Aaron,

695
00:27:17,740 --> 00:27:22,380
but this last trip that they invited me out this last October,

696
00:27:22,380 --> 00:27:25,260
we did what's called Scrubtoberfest.

697
00:27:25,260 --> 00:27:29,180
So I actually, I just got invited

698
00:27:29,180 --> 00:27:30,980
as a quote unquote influencer, right?

699
00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:33,660
Part of the team to go and do what we do.

700
00:27:33,660 --> 00:27:38,300
And they had reached out and they were like, check it out.

701
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:39,860
Would you be down to cook for us?

702
00:27:40,820 --> 00:27:41,820
That's what I do.

703
00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:42,660
What are you talking about?

704
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:43,780
Would I be down?

705
00:27:43,780 --> 00:27:44,940
What do we got?

706
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:47,900
So we're at this, it's like a mansion, bro.

707
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:49,700
Literally like a mansion.

708
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:51,220
I was like, shoot me some pictures

709
00:27:51,220 --> 00:27:53,020
of the equipment that you got.

710
00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:55,660
I'll figure out a menu accordingly.

711
00:27:55,660 --> 00:28:00,660
And shout out to a lot of the brands that backed this, man.

712
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:04,820
There was Snake River Farms came in sick.

713
00:28:04,820 --> 00:28:06,500
We've done some little stuff here and there,

714
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:08,180
but shout out Snake River.

715
00:28:08,180 --> 00:28:10,980
They supported that project big time.

716
00:28:10,980 --> 00:28:15,940
And they literally had an Argentinian style grill

717
00:28:15,940 --> 00:28:19,220
that the homeowner had just had installed.

718
00:28:19,220 --> 00:28:22,180
So he had that, he had a big green egg.

719
00:28:22,180 --> 00:28:24,540
We had my boy One Stop Chop.

720
00:28:24,540 --> 00:28:27,340
We had my girl Kimmy, Kimmy's creation.

721
00:28:27,340 --> 00:28:30,980
Like these major influencers and we're like,

722
00:28:30,980 --> 00:28:33,180
yo, how can we help you?

723
00:28:33,180 --> 00:28:35,900
So these guys were my Sous chefs, believe it or not.

724
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:36,740
Nice.

725
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:39,780
Helping me Sous while I was doing live fire stuff.

726
00:28:39,780 --> 00:28:44,780
So I mentioned all of that because those ties

727
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:47,300
and those connections are what's taken

728
00:28:47,300 --> 00:28:52,300
these business relationships to a personal level

729
00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:57,620
and for them to want to continue to invest in my brand.

730
00:28:57,940 --> 00:29:01,020
And so we have talked about it for a minute.

731
00:29:01,020 --> 00:29:04,060
So the long answer is yes.

732
00:29:04,060 --> 00:29:07,820
We're trying to work on Adventures of a Fat Guy,

733
00:29:07,820 --> 00:29:09,500
Scrub Daddy Collab.

734
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:12,340
But we want to do kind of like a limited edition.

735
00:29:12,340 --> 00:29:14,700
So kind of like a signature series,

736
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:16,020
but it is in the works.

737
00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:17,980
We are trying to put it together.

738
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:22,980
It's that vessel is, it's a steamer, right?

739
00:29:24,300 --> 00:29:26,300
It's a big, big vessel.

740
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:29,900
So it takes a lot to move that ship, right?

741
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,540
So we're trying, they do believe in me.

742
00:29:32,540 --> 00:29:34,180
They are trying to work on something

743
00:29:34,180 --> 00:29:39,180
and hopefully we're able to make that come to fruition.

744
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:40,860
Oh, it's gonna happen brother.

745
00:29:40,860 --> 00:29:42,580
It's definitely gonna happen.

746
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:45,220
Just everything happens at its right time.

747
00:29:45,220 --> 00:29:46,140
You know what I mean?

748
00:29:46,140 --> 00:29:47,460
Something can take a little bit longer.

749
00:29:47,460 --> 00:29:48,300
It goes down.

750
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:49,580
Yeah.

751
00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:52,220
Just stay patient and everything's gonna fall into play

752
00:29:52,220 --> 00:29:53,540
exactly as it should.

753
00:29:53,540 --> 00:29:54,380
So Mike, there you go.

754
00:29:54,380 --> 00:29:55,620
There's your answer.

755
00:29:55,620 --> 00:29:57,540
We got the Shower Daddy coming soon.

756
00:29:57,540 --> 00:29:59,340
Adventures of a Fat Guy Shower Daddy.

757
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:04,340
There's so many things that people have spit at me

758
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:08,260
and they were like, they just add daddy at the end.

759
00:30:08,260 --> 00:30:09,780
I'm like, shit, here we are.

760
00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:12,500
That's it, that's it.

761
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:14,740
We've been using Scrub Daddy sponges in my sink

762
00:30:14,740 --> 00:30:16,860
for a long time, man.

763
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:19,380
I need to get me a barbecue daddy though, for sure.

764
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:21,300
Definitely need to go score me one of those.

765
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:24,220
I haven't seen them at my local Home Depot.

766
00:30:24,220 --> 00:30:25,780
They got the spot for him?

767
00:30:25,780 --> 00:30:28,060
Oh, he disappeared.

768
00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:30,900
He didn't like that I don't have a barbecue daddy.

769
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:32,780
That's how he let me know.

770
00:30:32,780 --> 00:30:34,420
They are legit, man.

771
00:30:34,420 --> 00:30:36,580
They work like freakishly well.

772
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:38,260
Absolutely, I've seen them, man.

773
00:30:38,260 --> 00:30:39,580
I've seen his.

774
00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:44,580
Sorry guys, I was letting that out since he ain't here.

775
00:30:44,580 --> 00:30:46,500
I've seen his videos.

776
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,060
They showcase them very well, man.

777
00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:50,820
Those things look awesome for sure.

778
00:30:50,820 --> 00:30:51,980
But he'll be back in here, boys.

779
00:30:51,980 --> 00:30:52,820
Stay in here.

780
00:30:52,820 --> 00:30:55,340
Throw us some more questions if you can while he's gone.

781
00:30:55,340 --> 00:30:57,100
He'll come back and we'll get to your guys' questions.

782
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:59,380
So there was actually a question for you.

783
00:30:59,380 --> 00:31:02,180
Let's go ahead and address that while he's gone.

784
00:31:02,180 --> 00:31:03,660
Do you ship to Australia?

785
00:31:03,660 --> 00:31:05,340
Oh, ship to Australia.

786
00:31:05,340 --> 00:31:07,500
I have not shipped to Australia.

787
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:10,580
I'd be happy to look into pricing for you though on that.

788
00:31:10,580 --> 00:31:11,660
See what it costs.

789
00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:12,860
It's probably gonna cost similar

790
00:31:12,860 --> 00:31:15,020
to what it cost to ship out to Canada,

791
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:16,700
which is an arm and a leg.

792
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:19,380
It's worth it.

793
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:21,500
Yeah, it's great.

794
00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:24,260
If you wanna have a conversation about that,

795
00:31:24,260 --> 00:31:25,700
if you're still in here, brother,

796
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:28,860
either shoot me a DM or you can go right on my website,

797
00:31:28,860 --> 00:31:31,900
chat with the chat bot and that'll be me

798
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:32,740
and I'll get back to you.

799
00:31:32,740 --> 00:31:34,180
I'll give you some answers.

800
00:31:34,180 --> 00:31:35,900
Just make sure I can get your address

801
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:38,300
and I'll look up shipping out to Australia.

802
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:40,380
It'd be an honor to have some of my products

803
00:31:40,380 --> 00:31:41,900
out there for you.

804
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:42,740
Sorry about that.

805
00:31:42,740 --> 00:31:43,580
Oh yeah, shout out, guys.

806
00:31:43,580 --> 00:31:44,580
I don't know what happened.

807
00:31:44,580 --> 00:31:45,420
It just kicked me off.

808
00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:46,260
No, I know what happened.

809
00:31:46,260 --> 00:31:47,100
Shit happened.

810
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:48,500
I told you I didn't have a barbecue daddy

811
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:50,900
and you were out.

812
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:52,460
That was the last one, right?

813
00:31:52,460 --> 00:31:53,300
So. Yeah.

814
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:58,100
So I put together a little bit of a,

815
00:31:58,100 --> 00:31:59,620
I'll let you guys in on this.

816
00:31:59,620 --> 00:32:01,820
So I put together a little bit of a program,

817
00:32:01,820 --> 00:32:06,300
a proposition, if you will, with a scrub daddy.

818
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:07,500
And I said, hey, listen,

819
00:32:08,740 --> 00:32:11,060
most people are using scrub daddy

820
00:32:11,060 --> 00:32:12,980
back of the house anyways, right?

821
00:32:12,980 --> 00:32:14,580
They're cleaning their dishes with it.

822
00:32:14,580 --> 00:32:16,620
They're scrubbing their cast iron with it.

823
00:32:16,620 --> 00:32:20,380
They're like, most people are using it in some capacity.

824
00:32:20,380 --> 00:32:24,060
So I'm like, what if I were to make the connection

825
00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:27,500
with my barbecue people with scrub daddy?

826
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:30,540
So that's actually how this, everything came to fruition

827
00:32:30,540 --> 00:32:34,940
for the Las Vegas event, for Memphis in May,

828
00:32:34,940 --> 00:32:36,180
for a couple of other things

829
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:38,180
that are gonna be happening this year.

830
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:42,980
So I have people like Brooke, like Robin,

831
00:32:42,980 --> 00:32:45,260
like Brooke is the owner of the shed.

832
00:32:45,260 --> 00:32:47,380
Her and her brother own the shed, right?

833
00:32:47,380 --> 00:32:50,500
Shout out to them grand champions at Memphis in May.

834
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:52,500
Right?

835
00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:54,980
So we meet up at Memphis in May

836
00:32:54,980 --> 00:32:56,660
and I'm like introducing myself.

837
00:32:56,660 --> 00:32:59,860
Like I'm just, this is our first time meeting in person

838
00:32:59,860 --> 00:33:01,860
and I'm just over the moon, right?

839
00:33:01,860 --> 00:33:03,460
I'm just like, the fact that I'm even

840
00:33:03,460 --> 00:33:06,540
in this woman's presence, she reaches out

841
00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:09,420
and she was like, I know exactly who you are.

842
00:33:09,420 --> 00:33:10,700
What the?

843
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:11,540
Who doesn't?

844
00:33:11,540 --> 00:33:13,220
How do you know who I am?

845
00:33:13,220 --> 00:33:14,140
Stop.

846
00:33:14,140 --> 00:33:14,980
Cause you're the guy.

847
00:33:14,980 --> 00:33:15,900
I'm like, bro.

848
00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:17,860
I'm like, I'm nobody man.

849
00:33:17,860 --> 00:33:20,740
But the fact that she knew who I was, right?

850
00:33:20,740 --> 00:33:24,300
So it was that, it was that connection with Robin,

851
00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:26,460
with all these amazing female cooks.

852
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:28,900
Like don't even bring in gender, right?

853
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:30,900
The fact that they're just amazing cooks

854
00:33:30,900 --> 00:33:32,940
and chefs in and of themselves.

855
00:33:32,940 --> 00:33:36,020
But the fact that they're raising the bar

856
00:33:36,020 --> 00:33:39,060
and showing people the love for the female community

857
00:33:39,060 --> 00:33:42,980
as barbecue pit masters, shout out to them, right?

858
00:33:42,980 --> 00:33:46,660
But they were like, yo, we love barbecue daddy.

859
00:33:46,660 --> 00:33:48,780
Like I was manning the tent and they're like,

860
00:33:48,780 --> 00:33:51,300
we love everything about barbecue daddy.

861
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:55,260
So lo and behold, they wound up winning the whole damn thing.

862
00:33:55,260 --> 00:33:58,700
Whole hog, grand champions.

863
00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:00,460
So they shot me a DM.

864
00:34:00,460 --> 00:34:02,380
I actually shot them a DM after the fact

865
00:34:02,380 --> 00:34:03,380
and I was like, hey,

866
00:34:05,740 --> 00:34:08,540
y'all were talking about it before I even knew

867
00:34:08,540 --> 00:34:11,300
that you guys are gonna pull off the grand championship.

868
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:13,060
If you guys want, let me get you guys,

869
00:34:13,060 --> 00:34:14,740
let me show you guys some love.

870
00:34:14,740 --> 00:34:17,620
So I reached out to the scrub daddy team.

871
00:34:17,620 --> 00:34:20,220
We got some stuff coming, stuff like you folks

872
00:34:20,220 --> 00:34:23,700
that you guys been wanting to try barbecue daddy.

873
00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:26,500
Trust me, it's coming.

874
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:30,580
I'm networking and scrub daddy is backing me on the call.

875
00:34:30,580 --> 00:34:32,580
Scrub daddy is doing everything they can

876
00:34:32,580 --> 00:34:35,620
to make that connection between how amazing

877
00:34:35,620 --> 00:34:38,980
their cleaning tools are because we already use them

878
00:34:38,980 --> 00:34:40,740
and bring in the barbecue community

879
00:34:40,740 --> 00:34:44,620
along with them and go, yo, we got stuff like scour daddy,

880
00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:48,540
which is a stainless steel scour pad, no bristles,

881
00:34:48,540 --> 00:34:51,100
no issues of anything breaking off, but guess what?

882
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:54,260
Use it on your dribbles, use it on your cast iron,

883
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:56,100
use it on your stoves, right?

884
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:58,620
So all of those little things are coming

885
00:34:58,620 --> 00:35:00,340
and I promise you it's grassroots.

886
00:35:00,340 --> 00:35:03,540
It's something that I can say that I'm blessed enough

887
00:35:03,540 --> 00:35:06,180
to help implement with scrub daddy

888
00:35:06,180 --> 00:35:08,820
and I got their backing.

889
00:35:08,820 --> 00:35:12,020
The owner is behind me, scrub daddy is behind me

890
00:35:12,020 --> 00:35:13,620
and there's more stuff coming.

891
00:35:13,620 --> 00:35:16,580
We're gonna build a barbecue community with scrub daddy

892
00:35:17,660 --> 00:35:18,820
and it's gonna be amazing.

893
00:35:18,820 --> 00:35:22,740
So stay tuned for that and shout out scrub daddy

894
00:35:22,740 --> 00:35:25,740
for y'all believing in me, but there's good stuff coming.

895
00:35:25,740 --> 00:35:27,860
So we're gonna get you a barbecue daddy.

896
00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:30,380
There's a lot of stuff coming guys, trust me.

897
00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:31,580
They believe in the community

898
00:35:31,580 --> 00:35:34,500
and not just for the monetary stuff, right?

899
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:37,180
Of course, like it's bad ass because, you know,

900
00:35:37,180 --> 00:35:40,660
it raises sales forever, but that's not it.

901
00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:42,500
They wanna be able to show genuinely

902
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:45,060
that we got products that can cater

903
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:46,940
to what it is that we do.

904
00:35:46,940 --> 00:35:49,780
100% man, well, I'm stoked.

905
00:35:49,780 --> 00:35:51,940
I wanna make sure I get an ordering too.

906
00:35:51,940 --> 00:35:54,500
I'll get a pretty hefty order in

907
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,940
so I can kind of spread some of that love out too.

908
00:35:56,940 --> 00:35:57,780
Oh, sure.

909
00:35:57,780 --> 00:35:59,700
Share some of that stuff with my guys.

910
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:01,660
Use my discount code.

911
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:03,100
That way they can see that the order

912
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:04,140
came through from you, right?

913
00:36:04,140 --> 00:36:04,980
What's our discount code?

914
00:36:04,980 --> 00:36:05,820
Actually, so check it out.

915
00:36:05,820 --> 00:36:09,580
So all bullshit aside, I make nothing from it.

916
00:36:09,580 --> 00:36:13,700
100% transparency, I literally make nothing off of that code.

917
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:16,220
It's literally to help my followers

918
00:36:16,220 --> 00:36:18,880
with shipping costs and things like that.

919
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,340
So it's only like 10 to 15% off,

920
00:36:21,340 --> 00:36:24,580
but if you use AOAFG Adventures of a Fat Guy 10,

921
00:36:24,580 --> 00:36:28,180
AOAFG 10, it's in my bio.

922
00:36:28,180 --> 00:36:30,540
It at least saves you guys something.

923
00:36:30,540 --> 00:36:34,100
It's the least that I can do, but it beats, you know,

924
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:36,940
if you can run down to your Target or your Walmart

925
00:36:36,940 --> 00:36:38,900
or anything like that and buy it direct.

926
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:41,820
But if you can't, there's something special that you want.

927
00:36:41,820 --> 00:36:44,260
They've afforded me that opportunity again.

928
00:36:44,260 --> 00:36:45,100
I make zero.

929
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:46,780
I don't wanna make anything off of it.

930
00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:48,020
It's for my followers.

931
00:36:48,020 --> 00:36:48,860
I feel that.

932
00:36:48,860 --> 00:36:50,700
I understand what you're saying.

933
00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:52,460
And I'm happy to do that

934
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:55,420
because I know as a business owner, right,

935
00:36:55,420 --> 00:36:58,500
I've got coupon codes for my guys too.

936
00:36:58,500 --> 00:36:59,700
And so I can track that.

937
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:02,980
I know who's done an amazing job

938
00:37:02,980 --> 00:37:05,700
of being able to push some product based on, you know,

939
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:07,420
whose coupon codes have been used.

940
00:37:07,420 --> 00:37:11,860
So I typically don't use coupon codes because I don't,

941
00:37:11,860 --> 00:37:13,340
I'd be happy to pay full price,

942
00:37:13,340 --> 00:37:14,980
especially for small business.

943
00:37:14,980 --> 00:37:18,820
But knowing that it's gonna be able to be tagged to you

944
00:37:18,820 --> 00:37:19,860
and they can say, oh man,

945
00:37:19,860 --> 00:37:22,140
that's another deal that came through from Willie.

946
00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:23,420
You know what I mean?

947
00:37:23,420 --> 00:37:24,860
So. Appreciate it.

948
00:37:24,860 --> 00:37:26,140
Any other? Absolutely, brother.

949
00:37:26,140 --> 00:37:27,380
No, I appreciate you guys.

950
00:37:27,380 --> 00:37:29,900
Like all of that for us as a community

951
00:37:29,900 --> 00:37:33,300
means so much more than people understand

952
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:35,820
because it just shows the connection, right?

953
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:40,820
And it shows the raw support that we show each other.

954
00:37:43,780 --> 00:37:45,500
And to be able to show big brands

955
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,020
that we're not just here spitting out shit.

956
00:37:48,020 --> 00:37:50,340
Like we're literally, we're supporting each other.

957
00:37:50,340 --> 00:37:51,260
We're really doing it.

958
00:37:51,260 --> 00:37:54,100
So any other questions, anything that's come up?

959
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:55,180
Yeah.

960
00:37:55,180 --> 00:37:56,860
We had a nine sack.

961
00:37:56,860 --> 00:38:00,060
When are you coming to Meat Stock in Australia?

962
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:03,580
Man, so Mel's been killing it out there, right?

963
00:38:03,580 --> 00:38:05,220
Mel's been doing the meat stock.

964
00:38:05,220 --> 00:38:07,380
Shout out to Mel, Dark Side of the Grill.

965
00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:09,900
My brother, I love that man.

966
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:11,740
He's been killing it.

967
00:38:11,740 --> 00:38:12,900
That's my next step.

968
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:16,700
I wanna do international stuff if at all possible.

969
00:38:16,700 --> 00:38:18,900
So I'm praying that that comes to fruition next.

970
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:21,580
I'm actually something on high on my list,

971
00:38:21,580 --> 00:38:23,340
which is to reach out to Mel

972
00:38:23,340 --> 00:38:25,420
and see if we can make that connection.

973
00:38:25,420 --> 00:38:27,060
But it's hard, right?

974
00:38:27,060 --> 00:38:29,100
Because you want it to come from a genuine spot,

975
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:30,500
which it is.

976
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:33,260
I don't wanna ride his coattails per se.

977
00:38:33,260 --> 00:38:35,300
I don't wanna ruin his gig, right?

978
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:36,620
Because he's got shit going on

979
00:38:36,620 --> 00:38:39,260
and I'm nowhere on his level.

980
00:38:39,260 --> 00:38:42,660
Mel's a freaking beast, but long story short,

981
00:38:42,660 --> 00:38:44,740
it's coming, it is in the works.

982
00:38:44,740 --> 00:38:45,940
I am in talks.

983
00:38:45,940 --> 00:38:48,060
Something that I definitely wanna do

984
00:38:48,060 --> 00:38:50,340
is do more international stuff

985
00:38:50,340 --> 00:38:52,860
because I'm recognizing more and more

986
00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:55,540
that there are people on an international level

987
00:38:55,540 --> 00:38:59,540
who know who I am, which is mind blowing.

988
00:38:59,540 --> 00:39:01,260
Yeah, it's just crazy.

989
00:39:01,260 --> 00:39:03,180
Well, it's all, like I said already, bro,

990
00:39:03,180 --> 00:39:05,660
it's all very well deserved.

991
00:39:05,660 --> 00:39:08,140
Everyone really appreciates your energy.

992
00:39:08,140 --> 00:39:10,300
I know we haven't cracked too many jokes this time, man,

993
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:13,700
but if you get around Willie, I swear to God,

994
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:17,620
this man is gonna have you in splits, bro.

995
00:39:17,620 --> 00:39:19,420
I mean, shit's happening.

996
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:22,580
I don't wanna say it, but it's happening.

997
00:39:22,580 --> 00:39:23,660
So outside of that, right,

998
00:39:23,660 --> 00:39:26,140
you've developed a lot of great partnerships

999
00:39:26,140 --> 00:39:28,020
with a lot of these brands and stuff.

1000
00:39:28,020 --> 00:39:29,980
You've also got a really cool beer collab.

1001
00:39:29,980 --> 00:39:32,020
Shout out to Kings Brewing, right?

1002
00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:33,780
You guys dropped that.

1003
00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:35,980
I mean, you only cracked one open.

1004
00:39:35,980 --> 00:39:38,100
Cracked that thing, baby.

1005
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:39,580
All right, hold up, don't go nowhere.

1006
00:39:39,580 --> 00:39:41,100
Let me grab it, hold up.

1007
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:42,820
Yep, he's heading out real quick.

1008
00:39:42,820 --> 00:39:44,300
He's gonna go grab that beer.

1009
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:46,340
It's absolutely delicious.

1010
00:39:46,340 --> 00:39:49,460
Shout out to TFTI for bringing some home to me.

1011
00:39:49,460 --> 00:39:51,620
Meant a lot to be able to share that,

1012
00:39:51,620 --> 00:39:56,140
but we got Willie, you got Chuck,

1013
00:39:56,140 --> 00:40:00,220
you got Crazy Gringo, you got Ed.

1014
00:40:00,220 --> 00:40:01,820
Go ahead, you can let these guys know.

1015
00:40:01,820 --> 00:40:05,580
Butternife Shoddy, you got a lot of people came together.

1016
00:40:05,580 --> 00:40:08,620
The Barbecue Kings, they couldn't have come up

1017
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,420
with a better name for the beer

1018
00:40:10,420 --> 00:40:12,300
with all of you guys on that thing, man.

1019
00:40:12,300 --> 00:40:14,140
And it tastes amazing.

1020
00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:17,100
Crazy Gringo, we got Barbecue King,

1021
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:21,340
we got the 187 Pham Vam, we got Butternife Shoddy,

1022
00:40:21,340 --> 00:40:26,060
we got Kings Brewery, and the fact that Jeremiah,

1023
00:40:26,060 --> 00:40:28,740
who's now my business partner,

1024
00:40:30,900 --> 00:40:34,420
we're gonna drop that one, from Kings Brewery,

1025
00:40:34,420 --> 00:40:36,380
back to playing, was like, yo,

1026
00:40:36,380 --> 00:40:38,820
we gotta do something to help represent

1027
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:42,820
what it is that you guys do, and that's Barbecue Kings?

1028
00:40:42,820 --> 00:40:44,460
Like, stop, man.

1029
00:40:44,460 --> 00:40:47,940
It's just, so this is actually what people don't know.

1030
00:40:47,940 --> 00:40:51,020
For me, personally, this is my fourth collaboration

1031
00:40:51,020 --> 00:40:51,860
with Kings Brewery.

1032
00:40:51,860 --> 00:40:52,700
Oh, no way.

1033
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:55,220
So, this is my fourth beer.

1034
00:40:55,220 --> 00:40:58,980
My very first one, Jeremiah, the owner from Kings Brewery,

1035
00:40:58,980 --> 00:41:02,300
now my business partner, he reaches out,

1036
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:04,060
and he was like, yo, we're gonna do

1037
00:41:04,060 --> 00:41:07,420
a trivia night at the bar.

1038
00:41:07,420 --> 00:41:11,860
So I tell you what, I want it to be me and you versus the bar.

1039
00:41:11,860 --> 00:41:14,380
Okay, run it, let's do it.

1040
00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:18,500
So randomly, every team had to come up with a name.

1041
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:21,740
He jots down, because the genius that he is,

1042
00:41:21,740 --> 00:41:24,900
he jots down Adventures of Kings.

1043
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:28,260
And I was like, bro, that's the sickest thing

1044
00:41:28,260 --> 00:41:29,820
I've ever heard in my life.

1045
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:32,020
We have to do something with that.

1046
00:41:32,020 --> 00:41:35,740
So that transitioned into our beer collaboration,

1047
00:41:35,740 --> 00:41:39,140
Adventures of Kings, which is essentially

1048
00:41:39,140 --> 00:41:43,940
a chocolate-covered banana that I wanted to do Chocomil.

1049
00:41:43,940 --> 00:41:46,380
So growing up Mexican and growing up Latino,

1050
00:41:46,380 --> 00:41:48,660
you guys kinda know what Chocomil is.

1051
00:41:48,660 --> 00:41:53,460
It's a powder, the chocolate-powdered-based mix,

1052
00:41:53,460 --> 00:41:56,940
if you will, that people would add a banana into,

1053
00:41:56,940 --> 00:41:59,260
maybe milk if you had it that way, right?

1054
00:41:59,260 --> 00:42:01,940
But you know, an egg sometimes,

1055
00:42:01,940 --> 00:42:03,980
and you would make what's called Chocomil,

1056
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:07,140
which is actually slang for chocolate milk.

1057
00:42:07,140 --> 00:42:10,300
So it was a Latino version of chocolate milk.

1058
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:13,300
So I said, if we can incorporate that into a beer,

1059
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:15,260
actually have one out in the fridge.

1060
00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:16,820
You might have to bust one out.

1061
00:42:16,820 --> 00:42:17,860
I do have one.

1062
00:42:18,900 --> 00:42:21,260
And that's how he asked me, hey,

1063
00:42:21,260 --> 00:42:24,220
what's your flavor profile?

1064
00:42:24,220 --> 00:42:26,300
And I'm like, well, I don't do a lot of sweets.

1065
00:42:26,300 --> 00:42:28,620
It was real heavy into Froze's.

1066
00:42:28,620 --> 00:42:31,300
And I was like, could we do a chocolate-covered banana?

1067
00:42:31,300 --> 00:42:32,940
He said, say less.

1068
00:42:32,940 --> 00:42:34,540
So we want them coming up with Chocomil.

1069
00:42:34,540 --> 00:42:37,180
So that was the first one we did,

1070
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:39,220
which is gonna, I'll break that one out here in a second

1071
00:42:39,220 --> 00:42:43,460
when we have time, is we did a paloma.

1072
00:42:43,460 --> 00:42:48,020
So paloma is tequila, grapefruit, little citrus, right?

1073
00:42:48,020 --> 00:42:53,020
So shout out to Jeremiah at King's.

1074
00:42:54,140 --> 00:42:55,700
He said, that's hella dope.

1075
00:42:55,700 --> 00:42:57,660
I think we can make a beer out of that.

1076
00:42:57,660 --> 00:42:58,700
And he did.

1077
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:02,300
We came up with, he used fresh grapefruit puree.

1078
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:03,980
He used all fresh ingredients,

1079
00:43:03,980 --> 00:43:07,460
and we made a paloma, but beer-based.

1080
00:43:07,460 --> 00:43:12,340
So that one was called, it was literally called a paloma.

1081
00:43:12,340 --> 00:43:14,380
And we did that twice.

1082
00:43:14,380 --> 00:43:16,260
We did that in 12-ounce cans.

1083
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:18,340
We did that in 16-ounce cans.

1084
00:43:18,340 --> 00:43:22,940
And then for our fourth one, it was Barbecue King's.

1085
00:43:22,940 --> 00:43:24,100
So cheers, guys.

1086
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:26,300
Salute, brother, salute.

1087
00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:27,660
Here's to many more.

1088
00:43:27,660 --> 00:43:29,700
Just the beginning for you, my man.

1089
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:31,100
Shut up, see you, bro.

1090
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:33,100
You got like three beers under your name already.

1091
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:34,660
Three, four, stop.

1092
00:43:34,660 --> 00:43:35,500
I got two.

1093
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:36,980
We got two, and the third one's coming.

1094
00:43:36,980 --> 00:43:37,820
Hell yeah.

1095
00:43:37,820 --> 00:43:38,940
We got all the supplies for it.

1096
00:43:38,940 --> 00:43:41,460
It'll be brewed here pretty shortly.

1097
00:43:41,460 --> 00:43:43,740
They got a brew schedule, right, as you could imagine?

1098
00:43:43,740 --> 00:43:44,820
Oh, facts.

1099
00:43:44,820 --> 00:43:48,700
So we're going to be seeing this one probably mid-summer.

1100
00:43:48,700 --> 00:43:50,820
The next beer's going to drop.

1101
00:43:50,820 --> 00:43:54,460
I think I've given some hints before on what it's going to be.

1102
00:43:54,460 --> 00:43:57,220
I have blessed enough to try the first round.

1103
00:43:57,220 --> 00:43:59,500
I think I might have tried this last one.

1104
00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:00,380
I'm not sure.

1105
00:44:00,380 --> 00:44:02,100
We got the blueberry one this time.

1106
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:03,940
If you had it, it would have been at Tom's house.

1107
00:44:03,940 --> 00:44:04,980
I definitely brought some.

1108
00:44:04,980 --> 00:44:05,540
OK, yeah.

1109
00:44:05,540 --> 00:44:07,580
I'm not sure if you got to them before they were all gone,

1110
00:44:07,580 --> 00:44:08,380
though.

1111
00:44:08,380 --> 00:44:09,700
They went fast.

1112
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:11,500
I think I might have got somebody's backwash.

1113
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:12,300
There you go.

1114
00:44:12,300 --> 00:44:13,100
It went fast.

1115
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:14,700
There you go.

1116
00:44:14,700 --> 00:44:18,420
Yeah, no, but this next one's going to be a strawberry wheat

1117
00:44:18,420 --> 00:44:19,220
beer.

1118
00:44:19,220 --> 00:44:21,700
That's what we're doing for the next one, strawberry wheat.

1119
00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:23,340
So I love the fact that you guys do that.

1120
00:44:23,340 --> 00:44:24,500
That's got my heart.

1121
00:44:24,500 --> 00:44:27,860
Some of the first beers that I got into,

1122
00:44:27,860 --> 00:44:30,860
there's a local brewer out here called Hangar 24.

1123
00:44:30,860 --> 00:44:32,340
Oh, yeah.

1124
00:44:32,340 --> 00:44:34,300
It grew like national recognition,

1125
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:36,860
and they kind of did wheat beers, right?

1126
00:44:36,860 --> 00:44:39,780
And that's kind of what got me into it,

1127
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:41,420
and I love that flavor profile.

1128
00:44:41,420 --> 00:44:44,140
So shout out to you for doing that.

1129
00:44:44,140 --> 00:44:47,060
It's something that I don't think enough people play off of,

1130
00:44:47,060 --> 00:44:48,300
and it's a great profile.

1131
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:49,140
Hell, yeah, man.

1132
00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:50,620
I appreciate that a lot, man.

1133
00:44:50,620 --> 00:44:51,780
It means a lot.

1134
00:44:51,780 --> 00:44:53,460
Pro show.

1135
00:44:53,460 --> 00:44:55,500
And we need to work out some more of your seasoning,

1136
00:44:55,500 --> 00:44:57,860
so I'll be reaching out to you here shortly,

1137
00:44:57,860 --> 00:45:00,340
because I need to incorporate those more into my cook.

1138
00:45:00,340 --> 00:45:00,980
Oh, man.

1139
00:45:00,980 --> 00:45:03,380
I'm all about supporting the community.

1140
00:45:03,380 --> 00:45:05,460
Whenever the time is right, brother, you know where I'm at.

1141
00:45:05,460 --> 00:45:06,380
I'm always right here.

1142
00:45:06,380 --> 00:45:07,340
I'm always on the backs.

1143
00:45:07,340 --> 00:45:08,140
Hell, yeah.

1144
00:45:08,140 --> 00:45:11,100
Yeah, you guys are, you know, between you, Blazing Star,

1145
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:14,580
like Alfie, those are my core group of people

1146
00:45:14,580 --> 00:45:16,820
that I want to support.

1147
00:45:16,820 --> 00:45:18,420
Like, I don't feel obligated to.

1148
00:45:18,420 --> 00:45:19,460
I want to support.

1149
00:45:19,460 --> 00:45:23,260
So shout out to you guys for continuing to do what it is

1150
00:45:23,260 --> 00:45:25,180
you guys do to build a community.

1151
00:45:25,180 --> 00:45:27,700
I wish you guys in here, anyone that's in here,

1152
00:45:27,700 --> 00:45:32,100
and anyone out there in the real world right now understands

1153
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:35,580
what it feels like to even be mentioned among those guys.

1154
00:45:35,580 --> 00:45:36,580
You know what I mean?

1155
00:45:36,580 --> 00:45:38,980
Like, it never gets old to me.

1156
00:45:38,980 --> 00:45:41,580
I get goosebumps every time.

1157
00:45:41,580 --> 00:45:44,580
Mike is a very special person, man.

1158
00:45:44,580 --> 00:45:48,300
I was very, very lucky to have some good times with him,

1159
00:45:48,300 --> 00:45:50,020
shared a lot with me.

1160
00:45:50,020 --> 00:45:53,620
Al Fragoni, obviously, you seen, you were there with me.

1161
00:45:53,620 --> 00:45:55,180
Man's an absolute gentleman.

1162
00:45:55,180 --> 00:46:00,020
You know, what doesn't need to be spoken on

1163
00:46:00,020 --> 00:46:01,260
doesn't need to be spoken on.

1164
00:46:01,260 --> 00:46:03,340
But Al knows what he's done for me.

1165
00:46:03,340 --> 00:46:09,460
And it's not a lot of people would go as far as what he did

1166
00:46:09,460 --> 00:46:11,660
for me to try to make sure that I was OK

1167
00:46:11,660 --> 00:46:15,540
and protect me from some potential risks

1168
00:46:15,540 --> 00:46:16,820
I was going down.

1169
00:46:16,820 --> 00:46:20,700
So that part right there, that statement in and of itself

1170
00:46:20,700 --> 00:46:23,660
is the beautiful part of the family that we've built.

1171
00:46:23,660 --> 00:46:24,900
Because guess what?

1172
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,940
The people that are shitheads, we weed them out immediately.

1173
00:46:27,940 --> 00:46:28,580
Right?

1174
00:46:28,580 --> 00:46:30,820
Well, we're at Tone's Pad, and we're all kicking in

1175
00:46:30,820 --> 00:46:32,900
and fortunate enough to get that invite, right?

1176
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:33,820
Yeah.

1177
00:46:33,820 --> 00:46:37,900
People always ask, I had somebody offer 10 racks.

1178
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:40,100
They're like, yo, listen, if you could put me

1179
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:42,700
in connection with the right people, 10 racks, bro.

1180
00:46:42,700 --> 00:46:44,180
I just want to be there.

1181
00:46:44,180 --> 00:46:45,820
It's not about the money.

1182
00:46:45,820 --> 00:46:48,340
It's about the camaraderie and about the family.

1183
00:46:48,340 --> 00:46:50,980
And we immediately weed those people out

1184
00:46:50,980 --> 00:46:52,260
because it's not about the cheese.

1185
00:46:52,260 --> 00:46:54,220
I'm not saying we all got it like that.

1186
00:46:54,220 --> 00:46:57,340
What I'm saying is that that's not important to us

1187
00:46:57,340 --> 00:46:59,260
in those type of situations.

1188
00:46:59,260 --> 00:47:01,420
It's about building these relationships

1189
00:47:01,420 --> 00:47:04,780
to have somebody like Al Furgoni, the legend that he is,

1190
00:47:04,780 --> 00:47:07,660
and be like, hey, I probably wouldn't do this if it weren't

1191
00:47:07,660 --> 00:47:08,500
you.

1192
00:47:08,500 --> 00:47:09,940
Here's my recommendation, right?

1193
00:47:09,940 --> 00:47:11,780
He does that to me constantly.

1194
00:47:11,780 --> 00:47:15,340
He's like, hey, Willie, I would do XYZ.

1195
00:47:15,340 --> 00:47:18,900
Or he'll reach out to me and go, hey, I love what it is

1196
00:47:18,900 --> 00:47:19,860
that you're doing.

1197
00:47:19,860 --> 00:47:21,540
How can I be a part of it?

1198
00:47:21,540 --> 00:47:23,980
And to me, that's just an honor, right,

1199
00:47:23,980 --> 00:47:28,340
to have somebody on that level reach out to me, who I still

1200
00:47:28,340 --> 00:47:31,300
tell everybody, listen, I'm a fat man with a camera

1201
00:47:31,300 --> 00:47:32,260
and a dream.

1202
00:47:32,260 --> 00:47:33,700
I'm nobody.

1203
00:47:33,700 --> 00:47:35,500
Don't ever put me on a pedestal.

1204
00:47:35,500 --> 00:47:38,980
Don't ever say I'm better than anybody else.

1205
00:47:38,980 --> 00:47:41,060
My rig just got detailed today.

1206
00:47:41,060 --> 00:47:43,500
So shout out to La Sierra Detail.

1207
00:47:43,500 --> 00:47:45,740
Came through for me at the last second

1208
00:47:45,740 --> 00:47:47,780
because I have an event tomorrow, right?

1209
00:47:47,780 --> 00:47:49,780
And he came up to me.

1210
00:47:49,780 --> 00:47:53,500
And I mean, he was just, it was wild to see the look

1211
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:53,980
on his face.

1212
00:47:53,980 --> 00:47:56,580
He's like, yo, I've been following you for years.

1213
00:47:56,580 --> 00:47:58,740
Thank you so much for the opportunity.

1214
00:47:58,740 --> 00:48:00,700
I'm just blessed to even touch your vehicles.

1215
00:48:00,700 --> 00:48:03,820
I'm like, bro, listen, man, the man you think of

1216
00:48:03,820 --> 00:48:06,620
or whoever it is you believe has a higher power,

1217
00:48:06,620 --> 00:48:08,220
that's the person you respect.

1218
00:48:08,220 --> 00:48:09,660
I'm nobody, bro.

1219
00:48:09,660 --> 00:48:12,580
I'm just a man with a camera and a dream.

1220
00:48:12,580 --> 00:48:15,500
I hold myself above nobody else.

1221
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:19,300
I respect, I appreciate what it is that you guys offer me

1222
00:48:19,300 --> 00:48:22,300
because it allows me to do these amazing things for myself

1223
00:48:22,300 --> 00:48:23,460
or for my family.

1224
00:48:23,460 --> 00:48:26,660
But at the end of the day, I'm just a regular guy

1225
00:48:26,660 --> 00:48:29,980
like you guys, just a fat man with a hope and a dream.

1226
00:48:29,980 --> 00:48:32,580
And we're just all here trying to help each other.

1227
00:48:32,580 --> 00:48:34,060
That's what's up, man.

1228
00:48:34,060 --> 00:48:36,700
And it shows, it definitely shows, man.

1229
00:48:36,700 --> 00:48:40,500
So outside of all that, man, business stuff aside,

1230
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:42,940
obviously you've dropped a couple of tips for us.

1231
00:48:42,940 --> 00:48:45,140
Maybe some cool stuff is in the works.

1232
00:48:45,140 --> 00:48:47,140
I don't know, there might be a comment pinned down below

1233
00:48:47,140 --> 00:48:49,780
that you might want to check out if you're in here.

1234
00:48:49,780 --> 00:48:51,620
But outside of all the business stuff, man,

1235
00:48:51,620 --> 00:48:53,540
what is it that makes you tick?

1236
00:48:53,540 --> 00:48:54,780
What is it that keeps you going?

1237
00:48:54,780 --> 00:48:55,820
You know what I mean?

1238
00:48:55,820 --> 00:48:58,420
When you're not cooking, when you're not creating content,

1239
00:48:58,420 --> 00:49:01,180
and it's time to unwind, where would we find you?

1240
00:49:01,180 --> 00:49:04,700
Are we finding you at a movie theater just killing some time?

1241
00:49:04,700 --> 00:49:06,940
Are we gonna see you at some concerts?

1242
00:49:06,940 --> 00:49:08,220
What are the things you like to do

1243
00:49:08,220 --> 00:49:09,980
when you're just trying to chill?

1244
00:49:09,980 --> 00:49:13,180
So I do like concerts, I do like all of those things.

1245
00:49:13,180 --> 00:49:15,100
I've been very fortunate enough.

1246
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:18,380
This room behind me over here is actually part of an expansion

1247
00:49:18,380 --> 00:49:19,580
that we did in our home.

1248
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:25,660
My personal, my home is my sanctity.

1249
00:49:25,660 --> 00:49:28,580
It's my inner sanctity that the people

1250
00:49:28,580 --> 00:49:31,540
that have been invited here,

1251
00:49:31,540 --> 00:49:33,500
that have been able to experience it with me,

1252
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:35,340
again, it's nothing special, right?

1253
00:49:35,340 --> 00:49:36,740
But it's something that I've built

1254
00:49:36,740 --> 00:49:40,340
that is important to my family and I.

1255
00:49:40,340 --> 00:49:44,300
So to answer your question, it's being here with my family,

1256
00:49:44,300 --> 00:49:46,740
it's being able to spend some time with my mom, my dad,

1257
00:49:46,740 --> 00:49:49,380
which by God's grace, they're still with us.

1258
00:49:50,420 --> 00:49:52,740
Those are the moments that I treasure the most

1259
00:49:52,740 --> 00:49:55,940
because those are the things that we reflect on, right?

1260
00:49:55,940 --> 00:49:58,580
You look back on and be like, yo, I remember that time.

1261
00:49:58,580 --> 00:50:01,380
There's a video I did, I might drop it again

1262
00:50:01,380 --> 00:50:04,380
for Father's Day, we did for, with my pops,

1263
00:50:04,380 --> 00:50:08,780
we did some Japanese A5, he never had A5,

1264
00:50:08,780 --> 00:50:12,380
but I went stupid, I spent a stupid amount of money

1265
00:50:12,380 --> 00:50:15,460
at a local butcher shop, I got a bunch of crazy cooks,

1266
00:50:15,460 --> 00:50:19,420
but for Father's Day, I wanted him to experience that.

1267
00:50:19,420 --> 00:50:22,100
I wanna be like, yo, this is Australian white goo,

1268
00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:25,860
this is American white goo, this is Japanese A5,

1269
00:50:25,860 --> 00:50:28,100
try it pops, tell me what you think.

1270
00:50:28,100 --> 00:50:31,420
So those little moments are the ones that I'm just,

1271
00:50:32,420 --> 00:50:37,420
I'm so grateful for because this little platform

1272
00:50:37,540 --> 00:50:42,540
that I've built has afforded me those opportunities, right?

1273
00:50:43,060 --> 00:50:46,540
And I'm so, so grateful for that.

1274
00:50:46,540 --> 00:50:48,360
I never take it for granted.

1275
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,960
Those are the moments I cherish,

1276
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,040
the moments I reflect back on,

1277
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,000
the brothers that I'm able to have here

1278
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,660
when we're doing crazy cookouts and just having a good time.

1279
00:51:00,660 --> 00:51:03,560
And honestly, it's not about the value of the meat,

1280
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,400
it's not about the fact that it's Japanese A5,

1281
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,160
it could be some stuff from a local freaking supermarket,

1282
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,280
it's the time that I get to spend with my brothers

1283
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,500
and sisters in the community, just in the back,

1284
00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:19,340
burning some coals, burning some wood

1285
00:51:19,340 --> 00:51:21,600
and just experiencing that with each other.

1286
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,040
So those are the things that make me tick,

1287
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,440
those are the things that bring me value,

1288
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,440
those are the times that I truly cherish

1289
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:34,440
because there's been some very, very low times in my life,

1290
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,000
very low, some very, very dark times in my life

1291
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,740
that only my inner circle knows about,

1292
00:51:40,740 --> 00:51:44,320
that I'm very, very grateful that I've been able

1293
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,000
to get out of and that I'm here for.

1294
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,560
So every time I get to light up the grill,

1295
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,240
every time I get it, I'm able to crack a beer with my friends,

1296
00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:55,480
it's a true blessing for me and a true honor

1297
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,160
because we could be in a much, much, much worse situation,

1298
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:03,440
right, but here we are doing what we do

1299
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,480
and loving what we do.

1300
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:06,720
Absolutely, man.

1301
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:08,360
Well, it goes without saying,

1302
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,760
I'm really happy that you were able to come out

1303
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,520
of those dark times, man, and be a better man for it,

1304
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,360
you know what I mean?

1305
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,960
I'm a firm believer that tough times

1306
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,440
make very, very strong men

1307
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,080
and you're not alone in that, brother,

1308
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,360
you're definitely not alone in that.

1309
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:26,600
Appreciate it, man.

1310
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,040
Thank you so much for the support.

1311
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,720
Again, just honored that you guys would even consider me

1312
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:34,180
to be on this and to do some stuff with you guys.

1313
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:37,860
What's pinned is my next project,

1314
00:52:37,860 --> 00:52:42,860
so anybody who stayed this late into the game, this is cool.

1315
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,080
This is something different.

1316
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:52,080
So, it's the first time I've ever said this on social media,

1317
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,800
King's Meat and Barbecue Supply Co.

1318
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,200
Shout out to my business partners.

1319
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:02,200
So, you got Eduardo from 187, so BlackSmokes187,

1320
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,280
and shout out to Jeremiah, the owner of King's Barbecue.

1321
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,000
Those are my two business partners.

1322
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,480
And the three of us have teamed up

1323
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:17,200
to bring something extremely unique to the Inland Empire.

1324
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,920
This is the first time I've spoken on it.

1325
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,540
I was waiting until our lease was officially inked,

1326
00:53:23,540 --> 00:53:25,280
but we're super close.

1327
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,480
So, thank you guys for the support.

1328
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,040
I'm gonna need everybody who's tapped in right now.

1329
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,800
We're gonna need all of their help to be successful,

1330
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,680
but it's gonna be something cool,

1331
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,160
something the Inland Empire hasn't seen,

1332
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,720
and something I believe we're gonna be able

1333
00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:44,080
to use all of our experience on

1334
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:49,080
and bring something really cool to the community.

1335
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,120
Man, I'm so, so happy for you guys.

1336
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,760
Appreciate you dropping a little bit

1337
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,600
of an exclusive for us here.

1338
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:56,420
Means a lot.

1339
00:53:56,420 --> 00:53:59,600
I know, obviously, everyone likes their own way

1340
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,480
to be able to announce the next big step,

1341
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,800
and especially when it's a real pivotal moment.

1342
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,420
So, appreciate you dropping the exclusive here,

1343
00:54:06,420 --> 00:54:08,920
but you let me know anything I can do

1344
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,080
to help show some love, show some support.

1345
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:12,480
I'm there, my man.

1346
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,680
I'm a busy man myself, too,

1347
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:19,680
but I have a way about carding time out when it's needed,

1348
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,560
you know, for sure.

1349
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,120
It's gonna happen, and shout out, you know,

1350
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,960
Sonny and Sonny Zapata.

1351
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,640
These guys have been huge supporters.

1352
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:29,920
So, it's amazing to me, right?

1353
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,520
Like, we've had all these amazing people

1354
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,060
that have supported me and my brand

1355
00:54:33,060 --> 00:54:35,840
and everything that we do for such a long time

1356
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,960
that it's very rare that I reach out for anything.

1357
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,400
I'm always there supporting other people.

1358
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,720
So, it's dope when those other people are like,

1359
00:54:43,720 --> 00:54:46,480
hey, we got you this time.

1360
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:47,300
We got you.

1361
00:54:47,300 --> 00:54:48,760
Let's figure out how we make this happen

1362
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,040
and try to help support you

1363
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,240
no matter where we're at in the country

1364
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:53,760
or what it is that we're doing.

1365
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,920
So, it's gonna be a dope opportunity,

1366
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,400
I believe, not just for myself,

1367
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,640
but for the barbecue community.

1368
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,880
And we're genuinely so hyped

1369
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,360
to be able to try to bring this

1370
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,120
and bring the community,

1371
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,880
just put the spotlight on the community

1372
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,800
because I believe what it is that we do is just so unique.

1373
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,640
And it's something that our families did, right?

1374
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,760
Our parents, our grandparents,

1375
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,080
we're not doing anything nobody did 100 years ago, right?

1376
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,080
Cooking over live fire, cooking,

1377
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,100
whether it's a live fire, gas grill, pellets,

1378
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:30,360
me personally, I don't give a shit what you cook on.

1379
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:31,620
I really don't.

1380
00:55:31,620 --> 00:55:33,840
As long as it isn't you're bringing good times

1381
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,440
with your family and you're enjoying that,

1382
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,720
even if it's you in your backyard by yourself,

1383
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:42,180
if that's what keeps you sane,

1384
00:55:42,180 --> 00:55:44,960
if that's what keeps you on the right mindset,

1385
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,640
I can cheers to that.

1386
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:47,800
That's what I'm here for.

1387
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:48,620
Yes, sir.

1388
00:55:48,620 --> 00:55:51,440
I'm not here for any of the big brand stuff,

1389
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,480
any of saying you have to cook on this grill or that grill.

1390
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,240
Me personally, I don't care about that

1391
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:02,400
because we were just in Memphis,

1392
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,840
my first time getting a chance to meet Benny Kendrick

1393
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,160
in person, slap hands with him.

1394
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,680
He's been a supporter of mine since I dropped this page.

1395
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:16,140
He cooked on Santa Maria for two decades, right?

1396
00:56:16,140 --> 00:56:18,400
He cooks for a completely different company now.

1397
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,560
Our methods are completely different.

1398
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:25,120
But at the end of the day, when we were in Memphis,

1399
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,520
it didn't matter whose name was on our shirts.

1400
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:29,340
True.

1401
00:56:29,340 --> 00:56:31,320
You had Captain Ron who was cooking for Fogel.

1402
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,120
I'm cooking for Jealous Devil Home People and Scrump Daddy.

1403
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,440
You got Mike who's cooking with Nextgrill and his brand.

1404
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:38,800
You got The Shed.

1405
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:43,440
You got Mel and everybody else cooking for Big Green Egg.

1406
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:48,440
And guess who was all there during our onstage demos?

1407
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,600
Every single one of those people,

1408
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,120
Barbecue Buddha, all of the grill dads,

1409
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,480
they were all there supporting us

1410
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:57,640
because at the end of the day,

1411
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,800
what mattered is our love for cooking and serving

1412
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,020
other people.

1413
00:57:03,020 --> 00:57:05,840
So those are the moments that I wish I could share

1414
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,600
with everybody because you don't experience it

1415
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,000
until you're there.

1416
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,880
You're on this little ass stage and you look out

1417
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,560
and your idols are sitting there in the damn audience

1418
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:18,560
supporting you.

1419
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,440
Man, that is a moment like no other.

1420
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,460
And shout out to all those people.

1421
00:57:26,460 --> 00:57:30,040
And shout out to all of you because I know a lot of people

1422
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:31,480
look at us, right?

1423
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,520
Us meaning people that have a small platform, right?

1424
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,600
Us that are producing our own products.

1425
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:41,040
And they look at us like they hold us on a different level.

1426
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,120
Guess what?

1427
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:43,920
We're people just like you are.

1428
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,880
We're just people with hopes and dreams, a brand,

1429
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,520
and maybe a few more followers than some people.

1430
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,600
But at the end of the day,

1431
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,440
man, we're out there just trying to live the dream

1432
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:55,280
like you are.

1433
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:56,960
So chase that shit.

1434
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,600
Chase that dream.

1435
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,240
Build that brand and do what it is that makes your heart

1436
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,680
tick because at the end of the day,

1437
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,040
that's what's gonna drive you.

1438
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,320
Don't follow me.

1439
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:08,360
Don't follow Nick.

1440
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,440
Don't follow my boy Nick over here.

1441
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,560
Like don't do it for any of that.

1442
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:13,560
Do it for you.

1443
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,820
Build your own brand and your own purpose.

1444
00:58:15,820 --> 00:58:18,760
But if I drive you and I help you do that,

1445
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,160
thank you for that.

1446
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,860
I'm honored that you even mentioned my name

1447
00:58:23,860 --> 00:58:26,920
in a cook or in anything that it is that you do.

1448
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:28,040
For sure, man.

1449
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:29,960
Take that risk, man.

1450
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,320
That's the only thing I would add

1451
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,520
to what you just said, everything about go after it.

1452
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,180
Make sure you take that risk.

1453
00:58:36,180 --> 00:58:40,440
A lot of times people, they've got amazing ideas,

1454
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,600
big plans of what they wanna do,

1455
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,400
but it's just really hard to take that final step

1456
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,160
and to take that risk.

1457
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:48,760
Like you guys are doing right now.

1458
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,280
But with no risk, there's no reward.

1459
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,120
You really need to, you really gotta just grab yourself

1460
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,320
by the balls and just go for it, man.

1461
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,160
And the worst that's gonna happen is

1462
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,960
you're gonna learn from it.

1463
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:08,840
And maybe the risk that you take doesn't pay off tomorrow,

1464
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,940
but it may gear you up to take another risk in the future

1465
00:59:12,940 --> 00:59:14,720
that will pan out for you.

1466
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,080
So take that fucking risk, guys.

1467
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:18,400
Live your dream, man.

1468
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:19,240
Live your dream.

1469
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:23,000
There's, we only get to do this once, man.

1470
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,640
We only get so many circles around this.

1471
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,920
Like it's such a limited amount of time.

1472
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,760
And this next venture that I'm in right now,

1473
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,000
it took a lot of soul searching, a lot of prayer,

1474
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,840
a lot of trying to figure out whether or not

1475
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,720
this is what it is that I wanna do,

1476
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,600
but I'm not getting any younger.

1477
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,200
I wanna try to figure out how I utilize

1478
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,220
what it is I've been blessed with

1479
00:59:46,220 --> 00:59:49,800
to try to continue that legacy for my family and I.

1480
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,680
So that's what it's all about.

1481
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,840
And man, we haven't given my boy Nick any love.

1482
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,760
My boy, he chokes like he's been down there

1483
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,640
doing his thing, but-

1484
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,200
He's the young Jamie, my man.

1485
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,080
He's out here, he's rocking and rolling,

1486
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:06,480
getting a ton done.

1487
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,480
Here's real quick before you get moving,

1488
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,620
Chuck, I see you just joined in here.

1489
01:00:10,620 --> 01:00:12,520
Man, we gave you so many flowers.

1490
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,800
I'm sorry that you missed them all,

1491
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,440
but just know, man, that love is so mutual.

1492
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,600
And we've talked about you quite a bit tonight on here.

1493
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,280
You've been a big influence and an inspiration

1494
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,800
for myself, for Willie and Nick.

1495
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:30,040
And we can't thank you enough for paving the way

1496
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,820
and doing what you do to show us that it can be done.

1497
01:00:33,820 --> 01:00:35,920
So sorry about that, Willie, go right ahead.

1498
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,380
No, man, I just wanna give Nick some love

1499
01:00:38,380 --> 01:00:41,760
because he's reached out a few times like,

1500
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,280
yo, what do I do with my camera settings?

1501
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,040
What am I doing wrong here?

1502
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,560
How do I adjust this shit?

1503
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,000
Something ain't looking right.

1504
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,640
And the fact that people look to me

1505
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,560
for that type of information is like,

1506
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:59,000
I have to take a step back and go, man, I was that person.

1507
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,580
I was that person reaching out,

1508
01:01:00,580 --> 01:01:02,660
trying to figure this shit out, right?

1509
01:01:02,660 --> 01:01:06,160
And so the fact that people reach out to me

1510
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,720
is just mind blowing.

1511
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,320
But the fact that he's so humble and is like,

1512
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,480
yo, anything that you give to me,

1513
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,000
and guess what, any tips I give him,

1514
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:16,960
immediately, that fast.

1515
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,920
He's making adjustments, he's doing this,

1516
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:23,080
he's doing that, and that pushes me

1517
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,720
because that in and of itself is like,

1518
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:30,160
yo, it's not just expelled gases, right?

1519
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,160
This person is truly taking what it is

1520
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,840
that I've learned and going, I'm gonna apply this shit,

1521
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:37,320
whether or not it works for me or not,

1522
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:38,880
but I'm gonna give it a shot.

1523
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,940
And you see it immediately in their next video,

1524
01:01:41,940 --> 01:01:44,520
man, shout out to you, bro.

1525
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:45,360
That's dope.

1526
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,360
And for your videos, it's amazing to see

1527
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,160
everything you guys are doing.

1528
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,480
Believe it or not, you may wanna admit it or not,

1529
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,720
you guys inspire me, you guys inspire,

1530
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,640
behind the scenes, Chuck and I are talking about

1531
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,040
people like you guys, and I don't mean that

1532
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,960
as like a subcategory.

1533
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,720
I'm talking about people who don't value what it is,

1534
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,200
how big of an influence you are,

1535
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,200
tone, all of us, we're all talking about the stuff

1536
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:16,040
that you guys are doing, and you guys inspire us

1537
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:19,920
and lift us up and make us wanna expand even more.

1538
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,320
So shout out to everything you guys are doing.

1539
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,240
And I appreciate you.

1540
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,640
I know I've bugged a lot of you guys

1541
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:28,600
just trying to ask questions and getting to it.

1542
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,520
Because I see what you guys do,

1543
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,240
and everybody has their own little style, right?

1544
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,920
And I really, what if we had this,

1545
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,500
and kind of implemented it here,

1546
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:43,560
or this doesn't look as sharp as this video,

1547
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:44,380
what is they're doing?

1548
01:02:44,380 --> 01:02:47,000
Or the audio sounds better over here than what I can do.

1549
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,280
And a lot of the stuff,

1550
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:52,640
like you guys have already kind of navigated it,

1551
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,420
you've been doing it longer and whatnot.

1552
01:02:54,420 --> 01:02:58,040
So I am honored and blessed to be able to have you guys

1553
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,640
in my corner to be able to put me there

1554
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,400
and help me get to that next level.

1555
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,360
And yeah, anytime you give me a recommendation,

1556
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:07,960
I'm gonna implement it and I'm gonna listen

1557
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:08,800
and we'll put it right away.

1558
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:09,640
You know what I mean?

1559
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,400
I have, you know, we're hungry, we're hungry.

1560
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,240
You know what I mean?

1561
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:14,080
So, I appreciate you.

1562
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:14,920
I've seen it.

1563
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,240
And God bless you for doing that, man.

1564
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,520
Like the stuff that we share is,

1565
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,040
it comes from a genuine spot.

1566
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,880
I think Chuck just commented earlier,

1567
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:24,800
what did Chuck say?

1568
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,160
Let me hold on, let me scroll back here a quick second.

1569
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,760
I know you got a hard stop here, Nick,

1570
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,720
but I love you all boys means a lot.

1571
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,000
The inspiration is truly mutual.

1572
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,200
We're all gonna ride this beezy to the moon.

1573
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:37,640
He's absolutely right.

1574
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,240
So those are my brothers that understand what it is

1575
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:44,060
that what this ride is all about, right?

1576
01:03:44,060 --> 01:03:46,980
We're gonna ride this out for as long as we possibly can.

1577
01:03:46,980 --> 01:03:49,120
We're gonna do everything we possibly can.

1578
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,800
And we're gonna bring as many people with us as possible.

1579
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,180
All those other people that talk shit to you,

1580
01:03:55,180 --> 01:03:56,920
all those other people who put you down

1581
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:58,600
and what in your post,

1582
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,600
those are the people disconnect yourself from.

1583
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,660
Don't beat yourself up for that.

1584
01:04:03,660 --> 01:04:05,600
There's plenty of us out there

1585
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,000
that are willing to help you, willing to share with you,

1586
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:10,960
willing to put you on game.

1587
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,480
We don't claim to know it all,

1588
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,160
but anything I know, you're gonna know.

1589
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:16,820
And if it comes from a genuine spot

1590
01:04:16,820 --> 01:04:20,040
and all you're trying to do is build your platform

1591
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:23,440
and feed your family, I got you, I promise you that.

1592
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,080
Fuck yeah. Appreciate you, dude.

1593
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,920
What a legend, Willie, solid dude.

1594
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:29,320
Heart of gold.

1595
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:30,600
We do have a couple more questions.

1596
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,480
So let's get some rapid fire questions out real quick.

1597
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:33,640
There you go, Nick, do it.

1598
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,920
All right, so Big Sexy, Tasajo or Ranchera?

1599
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,480
I don't know if I butchered that.

1600
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,280
Tasajo or Ranchera?

1601
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,080
So Big Sexy always call it,

1602
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:46,160
between him and Uncle Chico call me the Tasajo King.

1603
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,000
So Tasajo, if you get the ranchera, right,

1604
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,840
if you get the skirts that you're gonna make

1605
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,360
your ranchera out of,

1606
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,080
so they cut that really thin, right,

1607
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,880
and they make butterfly cuts out of it, right,

1608
01:04:57,880 --> 01:04:59,360
which is your ranchera.

1609
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,540
And you'll see it, it's kind of this dope,

1610
01:05:01,540 --> 01:05:04,360
little like heart shape, right, butterfly shape.

1611
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,180
When you cut that across the grain

1612
01:05:07,180 --> 01:05:11,280
into thick like one inch strips, that's Tasajo.

1613
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,920
Tasajo isn't a cut of beef,

1614
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,680
it's how you cut the beef.

1615
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,320
So you can do Tasajo the ribeye,

1616
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,200
Tasajo the ranchera, Tasajo,

1617
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:25,800
there's a bunch of different cuts

1618
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,640
you can make Tasajo out of.

1619
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:33,600
Tasajo the ribeye, chef's kiss, bro.

1620
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,000
But my favorite is Tasajo the ranchera.

1621
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,240
So it's a thick cut strip out of ranchera,

1622
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:46,240
and it's the most intensified carne asada taste

1623
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,800
you're ever gonna experience, and it's pillowy soft.

1624
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:54,160
So shout out to Chuck, excuse me,

1625
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,320
who else has had it?

1626
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,100
Pun, you know my boy Pun, Pun versus Food.

1627
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:04,240
I've had him pass out at my kitchen island right here

1628
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:08,360
eating Tasajo tacos because it's such an intense flavor.

1629
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:12,440
So Tasajo all the way, if you can get it

1630
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,640
in your local butcher, let them know,

1631
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,640
in ranchera cut into thick like one inch strips

1632
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:22,080
across the grain, it'll change your life.

1633
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,080
Oh, hell yeah.

1634
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,480
Oh yeah, I know where I'm going this weekend.

1635
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:26,320
For real.

1636
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,320
Next question's from Dan's Dirty Dishes.

1637
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,680
What's your guilty pleasure?

1638
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,200
Doesn't necessarily have to be food,

1639
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,800
but you have like a certain drink

1640
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,440
or maybe I'm sipping on a mocha right here.

1641
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,720
That's my thing, I love coffee.

1642
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:40,560
Right.

1643
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:44,840
Guilty pleasure, I don't know

1644
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:46,280
that there's anything in particular.

1645
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,600
It's a guilty experience, if that makes sense.

1646
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,040
So it's sometimes that guilty pleasure is

1647
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:57,640
me having a really good old fashioned.

1648
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,600
My wife and I, we just had a really dope as date night

1649
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,840
not too long ago and it just happened to fall upon us.

1650
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:05,640
I had a really good old fashioned.

1651
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,280
We had some good pizza, Bar Cuso in Upland, California.

1652
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:10,440
That was like a guilt.

1653
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,840
It was just such a, it's about the ambiance, right?

1654
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:17,760
And sometimes that guilty pleasure is a good drink

1655
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,480
and a dope cigar.

1656
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:21,780
I'm a cigar geek.

1657
01:07:21,780 --> 01:07:23,200
I love those opportunities.

1658
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:27,040
So for me, it's not necessarily just the action,

1659
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:28,600
but the experience.

1660
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,080
Who's there with me?

1661
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,200
Who am I experiencing it with?

1662
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,480
Or is it just a personal opportunity for me

1663
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:39,360
to take it all in and just try to separate myself

1664
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,840
from the world in that particular moment,

1665
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,440
if that makes sense.

1666
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,640
Hell yeah, most people would have said donuts or something.

1667
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,120
That was a great fucking answer.

1668
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:53,120
Before you hit the next one, make sure you catch that comment

1669
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:56,360
from Black Tie Syrups, Willie.

1670
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,200
Check him out, go to Black Tie Syrups.

1671
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,040
He wants to know what your address is

1672
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,520
so he can send you some old fashioned syrup.

1673
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,240
It's incredible stuff.

1674
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:05,580
I'm telling you, you'll see them.

1675
01:08:05,580 --> 01:08:07,540
They got an episode coming up here pretty soon.

1676
01:08:07,540 --> 01:08:10,000
So reach out to him, shoot him your address

1677
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,200
and he'll get you taken care of.

1678
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,240
Next question, sorry.

1679
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,840
So I do have something coming with Bar Cuso

1680
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,440
in Upland, California.

1681
01:08:17,440 --> 01:08:19,160
Let me just tell you what this little pig

1682
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:20,720
is gonna be involved.

1683
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,560
It's gonna be epic.

1684
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,760
So this might be something you wanna be involved in.

1685
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,360
Shoot me a DM.

1686
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,720
You might not wanna miss this one.

1687
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:31,500
Hell yeah, hell yeah.

1688
01:08:31,500 --> 01:08:33,080
Go ahead, Nick, I'm so sorry.

1689
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:33,900
No, you're good.

1690
01:08:33,900 --> 01:08:35,920
This last one's not really a question, but it's a comment

1691
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,240
and I kind of saved it towards the end

1692
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:38,360
because I think it's a good comment,

1693
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:39,480
kind of what we've been talking about.

1694
01:08:39,480 --> 01:08:41,680
This one's from Justin Jelkins.

1695
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,840
Willie, we can't thank you enough for your partnership

1696
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,240
with Home Depot and our Barbecue Daddy tool,

1697
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:47,280
you are the man.

1698
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:51,200
There you go, brother.

1699
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:55,240
Damn.

1700
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,600
Whoo, I was not expecting that one.

1701
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,280
Give me a quick sec.

1702
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:03,120
Man.

1703
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:09,760
So Justin is very high in the pool of people at Home Depot.

1704
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,540
Justin is one of the people that reached out

1705
01:09:14,540 --> 01:09:16,440
when I was in Las Vegas.

1706
01:09:16,440 --> 01:09:21,120
I was there four hours and Justin was texting me like,

1707
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,800
yo, I'm not sure if you're aware of this,

1708
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,720
but you're going to Memphis in May,

1709
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,320
we're bringing Chuck with you.

1710
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,560
We're bringing Mike from Blazing Star.

1711
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:30,920
We're gonna build this shit.

1712
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,360
I promise you, we're gonna do something dope.

1713
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,500
So thank you for sharing that, brother,

1714
01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:39,620
because you didn't know who he was

1715
01:09:39,620 --> 01:09:43,780
and for recognizing the importance of a comment like that.

1716
01:09:43,780 --> 01:09:46,140
Justin, thank you, brother.

1717
01:09:46,140 --> 01:09:48,000
Thank you for believing in me.

1718
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,520
Shout out to Home Depot.

1719
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,140
Again, this is a little bit what it is

1720
01:09:51,140 --> 01:09:52,840
that I dropped on you guys earlier.

1721
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,680
Man, I was not expecting this, guys.

1722
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,400
I try my best to keep it 100

1723
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,200
and this is a promise to you, 100%, 100.

1724
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:04,600
This is from the heart.

1725
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,600
These are brands, major, major global brands

1726
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,240
that are watching lives like this,

1727
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,620
that are representing global companies

1728
01:10:14,620 --> 01:10:18,720
and tapping in going, hey, we're watching you,

1729
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:20,280
we're supporting you,

1730
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,800
and whatever it is that you do, we got you.

1731
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,500
It doesn't get any better than that, guys.

1732
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,120
Salman, Willie, you're so well-deserved, my brother.

1733
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,880
We're all fucking rooting for you, brother.

1734
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,520
We're all just over here enjoying the ride

1735
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:38,040
just as much as you are.

1736
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,080
Seeing you get all, everything that's coming your way, man,

1737
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:42,880
you deserve it and more so.

1738
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,200
And guys, I promise you, we were gonna laugh

1739
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,200
and have an amazing time here tonight

1740
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,640
and turns out we all need tissues, man.

1741
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,920
So plot twist, plot twist, we gonna catch you

1742
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:54,760
on the next one.

1743
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,400
The next one will be full of jokes.

1744
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,640
We're definitely gonna get Willie back on here again.

1745
01:10:58,640 --> 01:10:59,600
We have to.

1746
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:00,760
There's not a chance in hell

1747
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,680
that we can just end this off right here

1748
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:04,640
and this is the last that you guys have seen

1749
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:06,360
of the adventures of a fat guy.

1750
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:07,320
We'll book him again.

1751
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,760
We'll get another interview for him.

1752
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,720
And man, a pleasure and an honor having you on,

1753
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:15,360
shooting the shit.

1754
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:16,760
I had some more questions for you,

1755
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,240
but I know we got the hard stop for heat stroke here.

1756
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,160
So man's gotta get to work

1757
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:22,800
and provide for the family this evening.

1758
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:23,920
For sure. Indeed.

1759
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:25,960
Were there any other questions

1760
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:26,960
that you haven't had a chance?

1761
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,720
Do you wanna keep this going, you and I, you let me know.

1762
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,080
If this is a collaborative effort, you let me know.

1763
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:34,040
I just want you to know I'm committed to you

1764
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:34,880
and your platform.

1765
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,800
So you let me know what works for you.

1766
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,540
Yeah, if you guys wanna keep rocking it, that's fine.

1767
01:11:39,540 --> 01:11:42,200
I do have to hop off for a work call,

1768
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,040
but if you guys wanna keep rocking, I'm completely good.

1769
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:45,240
All right, Nick.

1770
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:46,980
Will you have a good night, my brother?

1771
01:11:46,980 --> 01:11:48,440
We're gonna keep this rocking and rolling

1772
01:11:48,440 --> 01:11:49,520
for everyone that's in here.

1773
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,040
Cause I know you guys want it.

1774
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:52,480
You ain't done with Willie just yet.

1775
01:11:52,480 --> 01:11:53,920
Nick, peace out, brother.

1776
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:54,760
For real, you are.

1777
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:55,580
Let's have a good one.

1778
01:11:55,580 --> 01:11:56,420
Love you, bro.

1779
01:11:56,420 --> 01:11:57,320
It doesn't even need to be said.

1780
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,160
Love you guys. Happy Friday.

1781
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:00,740
See you tomorrow.

1782
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,480
So Willie, let me just tell you real quick.

1783
01:12:06,480 --> 01:12:08,540
Heat stroke, you're exactly right, man.

1784
01:12:08,540 --> 01:12:11,000
He's such a solid dude through and through.

1785
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,600
I don't know if you know this or not,

1786
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:17,600
but this big unk in the nephew is Heat Stroke's brainchild.

1787
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:19,400
He's the one that brought this about.

1788
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:20,880
He's the one that told me, you know what?

1789
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,300
We need to do this, you know?

1790
01:12:23,300 --> 01:12:25,480
And so I'm doing everything I can,

1791
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:27,620
putting everything I have in me

1792
01:12:27,620 --> 01:12:30,440
to make sure that this succeeds and it does well.

1793
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:33,120
But this whole thing was his brainchild.

1794
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,680
And he does so much work behind the scenes.

1795
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:36,720
He's an unsung hero.

1796
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,160
People come in here and comment, kind of crack jokes.

1797
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:40,800
Nick, you ever gonna say anything?

1798
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:44,440
You know, but the real truth is like,

1799
01:12:44,440 --> 01:12:46,700
his role that he wants to take with this

1800
01:12:46,700 --> 01:12:48,400
is just kind of navigating through,

1801
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,480
making sure we hit the questions

1802
01:12:50,480 --> 01:12:52,480
for me to navigate through the conversation

1803
01:12:52,480 --> 01:12:54,160
and keep the conversation going.

1804
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,500
But there's so much work that Nick does behind the scenes

1805
01:12:56,500 --> 01:12:58,320
from creating the platform,

1806
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,000
from pushing these things to all everywhere, right?

1807
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,840
You're gonna be able to find these episodes on Spotify,

1808
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:08,840
Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Nick is the main man

1809
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:10,160
behind all of that.

1810
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,440
So Nick, I know you're not here.

1811
01:13:12,440 --> 01:13:14,120
You're missing all this, but we love you, brother.

1812
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:15,160
Thank you for everything.

1813
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:16,040
Cheers to that.

1814
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:16,880
Hey, listen, man,

1815
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:19,680
we all need those types of business partners, right?

1816
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,680
We all pull our weight in different forms.

1817
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,560
And learning that now, like I said,

1818
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,160
I got a new business venture,

1819
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:32,920
which is wild to me to even be coming out of my mouth.

1820
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:34,960
But again, a new business venture,

1821
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,560
and we all bring something different to the table.

1822
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,320
So it's cool when you respect that, right?

1823
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:43,480
I mean, like, yo, this is my business partner

1824
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:48,480
and he does XYZ and you do XYZ, right?

1825
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,560
So when you put those two things together,

1826
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,820
it becomes something really special.

1827
01:13:54,820 --> 01:13:58,200
And shout out to him, we've got to give him his roses

1828
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:00,560
because I know he's kind of a bit

1829
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:02,720
of an unsung hero sometimes,

1830
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:04,800
but shout out to him.

1831
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,720
He's been an amazing person.

1832
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,080
He's a hell of a cook.

1833
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:12,360
He's a hell of a cook.

1834
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:16,200
He's super, his ingenuity,

1835
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,160
the stuff that he comes up with

1836
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,040
and the fact that he'll reach out to me and be like,

1837
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,200
yo, I got this shot.

1838
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:23,400
What do you think about this?

1839
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:24,600
Yeah, man, let's do it.

1840
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,160
Let me help you work through this.

1841
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:32,240
So are there any, the one thing I did want to mention,

1842
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,560
are there any comments that we're missing?

1843
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,400
Is there anything that we can hit?

1844
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,120
Let me see, we may be able to.

1845
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:40,360
You know, I have a hard time saying

1846
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,080
on top of the actual comments that come in

1847
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,480
because I'm trying to focus on the conversation.

1848
01:14:45,480 --> 01:14:47,200
You know what I'm saying?

1849
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:48,040
Yeah.

1850
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:49,920
Think we're just giving-

1851
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,620
Mine is a cognac and a cigar.

1852
01:14:51,620 --> 01:14:53,480
Shout out to Rayulin.

1853
01:14:53,480 --> 01:14:57,240
Cognac and a cigar, hell yeah, that's my shit right there.

1854
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,480
Let me see Rayulin.

1855
01:15:00,480 --> 01:15:02,520
Also giving Heatstroke some love.

1856
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:03,860
Shout out to him.

1857
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,200
Big Chicken, Big Barbecue, what's up Playboy?

1858
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:08,840
Thank you so very much.

1859
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,880
A boy in a grill, yes.

1860
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,820
Give Heatstroke all the love.

1861
01:15:12,820 --> 01:15:14,560
Please shoot him a follow.

1862
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:20,120
5280 Barbecue, shout out to my boy right there.

1863
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:21,780
Looking forward to meeting me one day.

1864
01:15:21,780 --> 01:15:25,440
Mike Mendez, bro, you just figure out

1865
01:15:25,440 --> 01:15:27,240
how we're in the same place at the same time.

1866
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:28,440
I got you.

1867
01:15:28,440 --> 01:15:30,200
Let's figure it out, man.

1868
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,140
It's amazing to me again, just like today,

1869
01:15:32,140 --> 01:15:36,240
like I was talking about with detailing my rig,

1870
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:38,400
the ultimate adventure.

1871
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,440
The gentleman who came out has been following me

1872
01:15:41,440 --> 01:15:43,480
since 2020.

1873
01:15:43,480 --> 01:15:46,400
Like it's crazy to me.

1874
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:49,160
That is literally when Inventors of a Fat Guy dropped.

1875
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:53,960
We dropped in April of 2020, April 26 to be exact.

1876
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,920
So the fact that he's been along this whole time

1877
01:15:56,920 --> 01:16:00,400
and is like, he was just so honored.

1878
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,960
It was crazy to see the look on his face

1879
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,120
when he came out and we got a chance to slap hands

1880
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,440
and he was able to detail my rigs.

1881
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:09,000
And I'm like, man, this is not about me.

1882
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,040
It's about you, bro.

1883
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:11,520
Like, thank you.

1884
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,440
Thank you for supporting me.

1885
01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:15,980
Thank you for affording me with this dream

1886
01:16:15,980 --> 01:16:17,360
and being able to do what I do.

1887
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:19,460
So shout out to all of you guys.

1888
01:16:19,460 --> 01:16:22,860
Mike Mendoza, man, thank you.

1889
01:16:22,860 --> 01:16:24,360
This isn't about me.

1890
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,080
And it's more about you guys

1891
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,720
because without your guys' support,

1892
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,280
Big Unx brand doesn't do what it does.

1893
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,120
My brand doesn't do what it does.

1894
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,240
Like it's because of you guys

1895
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,200
that we're able to do what we do.

1896
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:39,420
So don't believe the bullshit.

1897
01:16:39,420 --> 01:16:42,000
Don't believe the hype that anybody else gives you.

1898
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,740
It's because of you guys that we do what we do.

1899
01:16:44,740 --> 01:16:48,240
So we really appreciate you.

1900
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,920
The G flavor, met Willie at Barbecue Kings event.

1901
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:53,240
Man, thank you.

1902
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:54,880
Thank you so, so very much.

1903
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:56,600
That means a ton.

1904
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,040
Thank you guys so very much.

1905
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,800
Welded Horn was joking about the onion

1906
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,360
with me at Memphis in May.

1907
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:03,200
That's funny.

1908
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:04,640
A bunch of people were telling me that

1909
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,460
because that was the joke, right?

1910
01:17:06,460 --> 01:17:07,580
That was an ongoing joke

1911
01:17:07,580 --> 01:17:09,760
with Barbecue Daddy versus the onion.

1912
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:13,160
That was one of my crazy viral videos on TikTok,

1913
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,080
which was Barbecue Daddy versus an onion.

1914
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,440
Being Latino, we all use an onion on cleaning our grill,

1915
01:17:18,440 --> 01:17:19,280
right?

1916
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,080
Especially down south, a lot of people do.

1917
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,440
So yeah, a lot of people have that joke

1918
01:17:24,440 --> 01:17:26,120
and that comment.

1919
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:27,480
Sonny Zapata, thank you.

1920
01:17:27,480 --> 01:17:29,120
No, we appreciate you.

1921
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:31,160
Thank you for your time.

1922
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,560
Mendoza's too busy winning the Bing Ugg challenges

1923
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:34,380
these days.

1924
01:17:34,380 --> 01:17:35,360
What?

1925
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:37,200
He won, he's a three P champion.

1926
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:38,040
No way.

1927
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,360
He won three of them in a row, man.

1928
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:44,840
He just, the last one he took home a gold championship ring

1929
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,360
this time, he won a championship belt.

1930
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,840
Six pounds of gold, baby.

1931
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,680
Geez, man, look at that.

1932
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,360
So yeah, so shout out to you guys.

1933
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,840
Shout out to everybody that supports.

1934
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,920
Nick has elevated all of us and he's so humble.

1935
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:00,920
Facts.

1936
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,840
So I will back that comment 1,000%.

1937
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:05,720
He's super humble.

1938
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,400
Both Nicks, you guys might not know,

1939
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,120
these are two different Nicks here.

1940
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,820
Shout out to both of you guys for being so humble,

1941
01:18:11,820 --> 01:18:13,140
being so supportive.

1942
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:15,780
You know, the events that we go to

1943
01:18:15,780 --> 01:18:17,840
and the shit that we do together.

1944
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:22,760
It's cool because we're able to support each other, right?

1945
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:26,880
But on top of that, we're able to build relationships.

1946
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:28,360
Now, don't get me wrong.

1947
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:31,000
It's not all rainbow and unicorns.

1948
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,240
I've gone to some of these events.

1949
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,600
I slapped hands with some people and was like,

1950
01:18:38,480 --> 01:18:43,040
maybe not the person I wanna associate my brand with.

1951
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:44,760
I'll never put them on blast.

1952
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,520
I'll never call them out.

1953
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:51,080
But it helps us differentiate, right?

1954
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,160
Who is it that we wanna function with

1955
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,640
and who is it that we don't wanna function with?

1956
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,280
And I feel like ourselves as a community,

1957
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,680
now we weed those out easily.

1958
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:01,640
Absolutely.

1959
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:03,960
You're able to know right off the bat.

1960
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,520
When you're slapping hands with somebody

1961
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,280
and drinking a beer with somebody,

1962
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:12,520
you know within the first 15 to 30 seconds,

1963
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:15,120
maybe not so much.

1964
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:16,840
Not my kind of guy.

1965
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:17,760
And God bless you.

1966
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,880
I hope that you, I wish you nothing but the best.

1967
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:23,240
But for those people that are on the same page,

1968
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,920
which is just be selfish, man.

1969
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:28,680
Like it's all gonna come.

1970
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:33,680
If you've got somebody who's got however many followers,

1971
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:34,860
it doesn't matter.

1972
01:19:34,860 --> 01:19:39,040
I have more people that have way more followers than me

1973
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,080
reach out and go, hey,

1974
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,200
how do I team up with a brand like that?

1975
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:45,040
Guess what?

1976
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,240
I'll tell you, thousand percent.

1977
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:48,480
This is how I did it.

1978
01:19:48,480 --> 01:19:50,560
I don't know that it's gonna happen for you,

1979
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,720
but I'll tell you exactly how I did it.

1980
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,220
And that community right there

1981
01:19:55,220 --> 01:19:57,560
is how we continue to build each other up

1982
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,240
and show other people that they can do it too.

1983
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:03,080
Absolutely.

1984
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,020
So you, obviously you've got other hobbies and stuff too.

1985
01:20:06,020 --> 01:20:07,480
You're a big car guy.

1986
01:20:07,480 --> 01:20:10,440
Have you experienced a lot of that too in the car culture?

1987
01:20:10,440 --> 01:20:13,320
Are you like kind of, are you rooted in the car culture?

1988
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,120
Do you ever go to car shows and do things like that?

1989
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,200
Or are you kind of like a one man band?

1990
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:19,920
Just do your own thing.

1991
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:24,460
So is my new handle live now?

1992
01:20:24,460 --> 01:20:28,280
Shoot that, just tap into that new handle.

1993
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:30,020
All I can say is request it.

1994
01:20:30,020 --> 01:20:31,800
It's private for now.

1995
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:32,820
Request it.

1996
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,420
And I promise you it'll pay off later.

1997
01:20:36,420 --> 01:20:38,920
So we'll leave it at that.

1998
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:42,360
But tap in for now, more stuff to come.

1999
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,900
We're just a few days away from dialing this in

2000
01:20:45,900 --> 01:20:48,920
before we can officially launch it.

2001
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,400
Before the logo is officially done,

2002
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,200
there's a lot of cool stuff coming.

2003
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,440
So that being said, and I'm so sorry, brother.

2004
01:20:57,440 --> 01:20:58,420
You were asking-

2005
01:20:58,420 --> 01:21:00,200
Car culture stuff, right?

2006
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:01,880
Obviously you're into cars.

2007
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:02,720
Do you-

2008
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,680
I'm a big time hot rodder.

2009
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,080
We actually have a 56 Bel Air.

2010
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:09,200
Oh, sick.

2011
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:11,900
Yeah, a two door hard top,

2012
01:21:11,900 --> 01:21:16,080
which my father has fortunately gifted me, right?

2013
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:17,760
He's blessed me with,

2014
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,520
but my father is still here.

2015
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,080
He's still alive.

2016
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:26,160
So by God's grace, he's still here.

2017
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:27,840
And that's his car.

2018
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:29,660
That'll never be my car.

2019
01:21:29,660 --> 01:21:33,040
When the Lord says it's my time to own that car,

2020
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:34,400
that's when we'll call it my car.

2021
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:38,040
But until then, it's my pops is 56 Bel Air,

2022
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,240
two door hard top.

2023
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,040
Oh, that hits home, my brother.

2024
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:43,920
That really hits home.

2025
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,080
So we do do that.

2026
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:51,920
I have family members who have incredible vehicles.

2027
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,400
They're all show quality vehicles.

2028
01:21:56,400 --> 01:22:01,400
So my heart is really deep into the car culture

2029
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:06,020
and the car community, both cars and trucks.

2030
01:22:06,020 --> 01:22:08,040
So I'm just really, really deep into,

2031
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:11,480
hey, Don Peters, shout out Don Peters in the house,

2032
01:22:11,480 --> 01:22:13,140
show Don Peters some love.

2033
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:15,480
Amazing people.

2034
01:22:16,440 --> 01:22:20,660
But we have deep roots in the community,

2035
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:26,000
which is kind of what transitioned into my truck, right?

2036
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:27,180
So my new truck.

2037
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:30,800
Before any of you guys saw that,

2038
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:35,800
I had a 92 suburban square body on 35s,

2039
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,440
everything you could possibly do to it done.

2040
01:22:38,440 --> 01:22:40,480
A 99 front clip.

2041
01:22:40,480 --> 01:22:43,780
Like I've always been into customizing vehicles,

2042
01:22:43,780 --> 01:22:47,440
Acura Integra's, I was into the street racing scene

2043
01:22:47,440 --> 01:22:49,880
for a long time, all of that stuff.

2044
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,400
And I'm just into customization.

2045
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:56,640
So it's been cool because that kind of transitioned

2046
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:00,360
into what it is that I'm doing now, right?

2047
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,220
Which is now with the new truck.

2048
01:23:02,220 --> 01:23:05,960
But at the end of the day, I love customizing stuff.

2049
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:07,840
I love making it my own.

2050
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,140
And it's just an honor,

2051
01:23:10,140 --> 01:23:12,320
the fact that people wanna follow along.

2052
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:14,760
But if you don't mind, bro,

2053
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:16,880
I would like to grab another beer.

2054
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,840
Would you afford me maybe a minute or so to do that

2055
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,720
and kind of get some more questions from people?

2056
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:25,240
Exactly, that's what I'll handle.

2057
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:26,360
You go ahead, go grab that beer.

2058
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,160
We'll see you back in just a second.

2059
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:31,920
All right, Willie, he's gonna be right back.

2060
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:33,800
He's gonna go take a short break,

2061
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:35,960
grab something to wet the whistle.

2062
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,000
Why don't you guys drop some more questions

2063
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,640
down here below, or maybe tell us about some of the cars

2064
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:41,760
you guys are into.

2065
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,480
1985 and a half Toyota Supra?

2066
01:23:44,480 --> 01:23:45,560
I'd have to see that one.

2067
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:50,560
I don't know what that one is actually just off the year.

2068
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,720
I'm a big car guy myself though.

2069
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:56,480
Love cars, have always loved cars.

2070
01:23:56,480 --> 01:23:58,400
Muscle cars, trucks, everything.

2071
01:23:58,400 --> 01:23:59,760
Ed, Eduardo.

2072
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:02,080
Okay, first and foremost, let me tell you,

2073
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:05,320
I apologize, I kinda went bad on your brother on accident.

2074
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,600
I didn't know he came in here

2075
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,000
talking little shit about you,

2076
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,200
just doing some brotherly love, giving you some shit,

2077
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,160
and I didn't realize he was your brother.

2078
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,520
So if you hear, I apologize.

2079
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:17,880
I jumped on him pretty hard,

2080
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:20,200
called him a nerd for talking shit on you,

2081
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:21,620
and then I found out he was your brother,

2082
01:24:21,620 --> 01:24:23,560
just fucking throwing you a little shade.

2083
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:24,480
So I'm sorry, brother.

2084
01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:27,080
I didn't mean to jump on your brother like that.

2085
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:30,240
Yeah, it's a old school sweet body style, huh?

2086
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,280
Yeah, I'll definitely take a look at that.

2087
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:36,280
Cause I'm into muscle cars, I'm into imports,

2088
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:40,280
I'm into trucks, I'm into low riders, I'm into old schools.

2089
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,120
I love everything, man.

2090
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:43,600
All right, brother, you have a good night, okay?

2091
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:44,920
If you gotta head out of here.

2092
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:46,360
I'm into all kinds of cars, man.

2093
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:47,680
I always have been.

2094
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:49,600
I don't think I'll ever stop.

2095
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,000
The reason I started bringing that up was that

2096
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,000
I think that there's a common ground,

2097
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,360
just in the sense of, you know,

2098
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:58,760
like what he was talking about

2099
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:00,320
when he was at Memphis in May, right?

2100
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,280
Even though he might be a jealous devil guy

2101
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,680
and cooking on what he cooks on,

2102
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,520
he's getting love from the Traeger guys, right?

2103
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,360
Benny, the Traeger guy.

2104
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,960
He's getting love from people from all over the place,

2105
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:14,880
doing all sorts of different things.

2106
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:16,440
Doesn't matter what you cook on.

2107
01:25:16,440 --> 01:25:19,040
The same thing kind of happens in the car culture, right?

2108
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:20,920
You might be a Chevy guy at heart,

2109
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:23,360
but you're gonna be hard pressed to not sow some love

2110
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,760
to a guy with a Mustang as long as it's clean, right?

2111
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:27,720
People respect clean.

2112
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:29,560
People respect good builds.

2113
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:31,280
People respect good barbecue.

2114
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:32,840
Doesn't matter what you cook on.

2115
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:34,400
Doesn't matter what you're cooking.

2116
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:35,960
As long as you put your heart into it

2117
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:37,880
and you show passion through what you're doing,

2118
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:39,400
it's gonna resonate with them.

2119
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,320
So I think there's a really cool parallel, Willie.

2120
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:44,200
I don't know if you heard any of this.

2121
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:45,040
I did.

2122
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,200
But I was making the parallel between

2123
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,600
the barbecue culture and the car culture

2124
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:50,920
in the sense that, you know,

2125
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,000
you might be a Chevy guy or an old school guy

2126
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,160
or a lowrider guy, but you'll definitely,

2127
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,600
you can respect something that's in a different avenue,

2128
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,600
whether it might be the import that's really clean.

2129
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,000
Like it's really hard to not show love

2130
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,680
to something that's really clean or really done well,

2131
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:08,520
you know?

2132
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:09,360
Facts.

2133
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:10,480
And that's actually what carries over

2134
01:26:10,480 --> 01:26:12,120
into what it is that we do now, right?

2135
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:12,960
Yeah.

2136
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,080
Because you're open-minded like that

2137
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:19,080
and you're able to respect somebody else's hard work

2138
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:20,920
and what it is that they put into it.

2139
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:21,760
I can get it, man.

2140
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:22,600
I'm old school.

2141
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:26,280
My parents, my family are all diehard Chevy guys, right?

2142
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:27,440
But at the end of the day,

2143
01:26:27,440 --> 01:26:30,360
like if somebody else's heart and soul is into this,

2144
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:32,440
I got an uncle like we're all diehard Chevy,

2145
01:26:32,440 --> 01:26:35,320
he has a 56 Ford pickup truck.

2146
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,640
Jesus, I'm talking hydraulic hood.

2147
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:42,160
Everything you could possibly think of, it's gorgeous.

2148
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,400
It's won stacks of awards.

2149
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,200
But I just love the fact that he,

2150
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:49,280
that was what he chose.

2151
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,640
That was the truck that he wanted

2152
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,880
and he built what it is that he wanted, right?

2153
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,040
So to your point, you're absolutely right.

2154
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:57,880
Like, you know, when I was in Memphis,

2155
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:00,000
you know, for Benny to walk up to me

2156
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,200
and he's been supporting me since day one,

2157
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:04,720
he didn't give a shit what I cook on.

2158
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,280
I don't care what he cooks on.

2159
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:07,320
At the end of the day,

2160
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,880
we've both been up at three o'clock in the morning

2161
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:11,680
and hey, you're on a cook?

2162
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:12,520
Shit, guess what?

2163
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:13,360
So am I.

2164
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:14,960
And we've been going back and forth.

2165
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:15,800
I've been in the kitchen,

2166
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:19,080
going back and forth, I've been in the middle of a stall

2167
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,320
on some pork shoulders going,

2168
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,200
Benny, I don't think this is gonna happen, bro.

2169
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:28,160
This shit has been stalled out for three hours

2170
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,560
and he'll be like, listen, stop.

2171
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,400
Throw an aluminum tent over that bitch

2172
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:36,400
and crank that bitch up to 300 degrees and just wait.

2173
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,360
And sure enough, eventually she cracked, right?

2174
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,720
So those little things are the relationships that we build

2175
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:44,520
that we've all experienced.

2176
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:46,600
It doesn't matter what grill you're cooking on.

2177
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:47,880
At the end of the day,

2178
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:49,600
when you've done this long enough,

2179
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,480
you've experienced it in some way, shape or form

2180
01:27:52,480 --> 01:27:54,240
that that stall is a bitch

2181
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,360
and you gotta figure out how to get past it.

2182
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:57,560
So.

2183
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,640
Absolutely, I just got that text last night from a buddy.

2184
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:02,760
He's an old high school homie of mine

2185
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:05,920
and he recently bought his first grill, jumping into it

2186
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,240
and he's like, dude, I'm cooking a pork shoulder.

2187
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:09,960
It's been stalling for two hours.

2188
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:11,000
Something's wrong.

2189
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:11,840
What's going on?

2190
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,440
I'm like, brother, we've all been there before.

2191
01:28:14,440 --> 01:28:17,040
Just go ahead and he didn't have it wrapped up or nothing.

2192
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:21,480
I said, wrap that bitch now, crank that thing up to 75.

2193
01:28:21,480 --> 01:28:24,000
You're gonna break right through that thing, no problem.

2194
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:25,600
Eventually it's gonna happen.

2195
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:27,080
Shout out 5280.

2196
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:31,200
My first car was a turquoise and white 57 Chevy, exactly.

2197
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:35,800
So you guys understand like those are vehicles, right?

2198
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,120
Core memories and shit that you remember.

2199
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:40,800
Dad seasoning.

2200
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:41,640
Hey, I appreciate you.

2201
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:43,520
Dad's always reaches out to me.

2202
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,720
Always sharing a lot of cool posts.

2203
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:47,720
Shout out to Dad's.

2204
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:49,600
I wanna make sure we give Dad some love.

2205
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:51,600
Small Mom and Pop Seasoning Company,

2206
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:54,960
just like a lot of us are, puts out a great product.

2207
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:56,400
His chili dulce.

2208
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,040
Like he's got a lot of cool products

2209
01:28:58,040 --> 01:28:59,520
that are really, really good.

2210
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,240
So shout out to Dad's.

2211
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,720
Always supportive, always commenting.

2212
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:04,560
Appreciate you.

2213
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,320
I gotta check some of those out, man.

2214
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,440
Haven't had a chance to use those yet.

2215
01:29:08,440 --> 01:29:10,640
And I think everyone that knows me knows.

2216
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:11,760
I don't discriminate, man.

2217
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:12,800
I show love to everyone.

2218
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,480
I use everyone's stuff, man.

2219
01:29:15,480 --> 01:29:18,960
I'm not out here trying to get rich with Big Unk, man.

2220
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:20,920
I'm just trying to fulfill my passion

2221
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:22,920
and enjoy myself along the way.

2222
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:23,760
Bring up some people with me.

2223
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:24,600
So people will see me, man.

2224
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:26,320
I'll use some Big Unk

2225
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,560
and then throw some Blazing Star over the top.

2226
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,080
Like those combinations are like,

2227
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:33,760
damn man, this is pretty damn dope.

2228
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:35,360
And then you come up with another

2229
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:38,680
whole different flavor profile that you're not,

2230
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,240
that you wouldn't have never thought of, right?

2231
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:42,080
Exactly.

2232
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:44,000
And building those flavors is everything.

2233
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,640
So shout out to Dad's.

2234
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:47,880
Nobuono Crew had the honor of riding

2235
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:49,520
in the Ultimate Adventure.

2236
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:51,920
So much space in that ride.

2237
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:53,880
So shout out Nobuono Crew.

2238
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:58,840
Nobuono Crew is a small local clothing company.

2239
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:02,520
And what I tell you, he is an amazing individual.

2240
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:04,520
So follow Nobuono Crew.

2241
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,040
Really, really dope products.

2242
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:10,200
He's all about locally sustained.

2243
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,720
Just again, really, really good products.

2244
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:14,280
And we were happy to be at King's

2245
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:17,040
when I just got in the Ultimate Adventure.

2246
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:20,760
And I named it that because I was like,

2247
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:22,560
what the hell am I gonna name this damn thing?

2248
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:26,000
So I figured the right way is the Ultimate

2249
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:30,920
because it's a Chevy Denali GMC Ultimate Dually.

2250
01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:33,640
So we tied in the name and called it the Ultimate Adventure.

2251
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:36,160
So shout out to Nobuono Crew.

2252
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:37,440
Friggin' phenomenal.

01:30:37,440 --> 01:30:40,080
Always follows, always supports.

2254
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:42,000
If there's something that I'm doing,

2255
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,760
King's is doing, Earns is doing, he's there.

2256
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:48,320
He's supporting it.

2257
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:50,080
Shout out to you brother.

2258
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:51,560
For sure, I'll throw him that follow.

2259
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,360
I just tried to do it while we're in the live.

2260
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,240
I don't have like a quick follow access.

2261
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:56,080
Nah, it's all good.

2262
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,520
I'll hit you after this live is over Nobuono.

2263
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:00,520
Nobuono. G, have a good night brother.

01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:02,360
Yeah, Nobuono.

01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:03,800
Shout out to him.

2266
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,400

2269
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,160

2270
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:14,080
Thank you guys.

2271
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:17,520
Like the fact that you guys show us the support,

2272
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:19,360

2273
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:22,960
This is why we love what we do is just to share

2274
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:26,320
any platform that we have, any information

2275
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,480
that we can give you guys.

2276
01:31:28,480 --> 01:31:30,200
That's what we're here for.

2277
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:31,720
Absolutely man.

2278
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:33,040
Rob, you take care brother.

2279
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:34,600
Big sexy, have a great night.

2280
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:36,400
Rob, that's what Rob is for you.

2281
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:37,920
Absolutely. Holy man.

2282
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:39,800
Legend brother.

2283
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,640
I love to cook so much that my dog's name is Pepper.

2284
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:45,080
That's what's up.

2285
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:47,240
Dude, that guy is awesome.

2286
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,840
That's Matt, he's such a solid dude.

2287
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,760
That's the guy I was talking about with the cocktail syrups.

2288
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:54,920
He wants to send you that old fashioned syrup.

2289
01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:55,760
He's got a lot man.

2290
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:57,960
He's got a blood orange, he's got an espresso.

2291
01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,720
He's got a- Oh, you're lying.

2292
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:02,760
Oh bro, I'm telling you, they are incredible.

2293
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:03,600
Run that.

2294
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,160
These guys, he puts on a series called

2295
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:07,840
Couple of Drinks with the Clarks.

2296
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:11,120
And they go out and they make cocktails in their backyard.

2297
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:12,400
And when I say they make cocktails,

2298
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:15,600
I mean they make incredible, incredible cocktails.

2299
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:17,440
He's also a standup comedian.

2300
01:32:17,440 --> 01:32:20,720
So you could imagine like the personality just shines.

2301
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:21,760
He's gonna be on here soon.

2302
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:22,680
We've already got him booked.

2303
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,280
I wanna say he's in mid August

2304
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,720
is where we've got him booked out too.

2305
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:29,920
Okay, that's kind of dope.

2306
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:31,800
Congratulations to you guys for being booked

2307
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:32,960
that freaking far out.

2308
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:34,080
That's amazing dude.

2309
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:35,560
Man, we had to stop it dude.

2310
01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:37,680
Honestly, when we were at Tones,

2311
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:39,680
what was that a few months ago now, right?

2312
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:40,520
I think that might've been March.

2313
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:41,440
It was.

2314
01:32:41,440 --> 01:32:43,920
Yeah, at that point we had been booked out till August.

2315
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:46,520
So we stopped booking because people kind of got,

2316
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:48,800
we're like, oh man, not until August.

2317
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:51,640
So, but we're gonna start opening up the books again here

2318
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:53,480
pretty soon as a matter of fact.

2319
01:32:53,480 --> 01:32:54,320
Justin.

2320
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:55,160
So Justin.

2321
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:56,000
Pleasure.

2322
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:56,820
Thank you brother.

2323
01:32:56,820 --> 01:32:59,400
Again, a super, super integral.

2324
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,280
I know he doesn't like the spotlight shine on him.

2325
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:05,280
A super integral part of Home Depot.

2326
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:07,200
The experiences that we built together

2327
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:08,720
with him and Scrub Daddy.

2328
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:11,120
Justin, thank you for believing me.

2329
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:13,500
Thank you for being such a genuine person

2330
01:33:13,500 --> 01:33:15,880
and such an honor and a pleasure to have met you.

2331
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,560
So thank you so much for the support.

2332
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:19,760
You have a good night brother.

2333
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:22,360
Hopefully you enjoyed yourself tonight.

2334
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:26,040
But it's people like that man that like, it's wild.

2335
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:29,840
We had some cool people from Home Depot come through

2336
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:32,840
the Jealous Devil tent when we were in Memphis in May.

2337
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:37,840
And we had some people roll through and we're like,

2338
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:40,680
hey, we gotta show some people some love.

2339
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:42,520
They were still hungry, right?

2340
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:44,240
So we had Scott from Jealous Devil.

2341
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:45,320
A couple of other people were like,

2342
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:46,920
hey, can we make it happen?

2343
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:50,520
So shout out to Bama, Bama Grommaster, you know Bama.

2344
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:51,360
You of course.

2345
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:56,360
I mean this dude is a world champion steak cook.

2346
01:33:57,100 --> 01:33:59,640
Like literally world champion steak cook.

2347
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:03,760
So we pull out some amazing Australian Wagyu steaks.

2348
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:05,960
We tell Justin and the Home Depot team,

2349
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:08,520
bitch stop, chill right here.

2350
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:09,880
Give us a second.

2351
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:11,560
We're gonna fire up the grill.

2352
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:12,760
World class steak.

2353
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,840
Bama fires off these steaks.

2354
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:18,520
Good God, bro.

2355
01:34:19,480 --> 01:34:20,520
Amazing.

2356
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:22,160
But it was, I have some video

2357
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:24,160
and I might've dropped it into a story.

2358
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:28,240
One of the, shout out to Justin.

2359
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:29,600
Justin knows what's up.

2360
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:32,600
So one of the security guards was like, hey listen,

2361
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:36,320
I watched him cook his steak for like 15 minutes,

2362
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:39,320
20 minutes, 25 minutes.

2363
01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:42,000
And I was like, yo, I don't know how this

2364
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:43,360
is gonna work out, right?

2365
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:44,600
I mean, cause you know how it is.

2366
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:46,960
I mean, as cooks, we know, we know, right?

2367
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:50,440
And he banged out a competition,

2368
01:34:50,440 --> 01:34:53,480
world class competition style steak

2369
01:34:53,480 --> 01:34:58,040
that I should you not blow your damn doors off, right?

2370
01:34:58,040 --> 01:34:59,920
So shout out to Bama.

2371
01:34:59,920 --> 01:35:04,040
We sliced it up and between our execs, Justin

2372
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:06,680
and a lot of the people from Home Depot

2373
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:10,800
and our security personnel, they were just blown away.

2374
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:13,680
We had a young lady that walked through

2375
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,000
through the tenant area where we were at

2376
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,480
and it was probably 8.30, nine o'clock at night.

2377
01:35:18,480 --> 01:35:21,280
And she thought there were gonna be samples

2378
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,000
throughout the whole night.

2379
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,760
And it just so happened we had sliced into this steak, right?

2380
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:28,840
And Chuck, Chuck turns around immediately.

2381
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,120
He's like, listen, we don't have much to offer

2382
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:34,240
but I'd like for you to try this.

2383
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:38,960
This lady, she was a little leery at first

2384
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,280
cause it's a beautiful medium rare steak,

2385
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:44,480
perfectly good medium rare steak.

2386
01:35:44,480 --> 01:35:47,320
And she looks at it, she puts two slices

2387
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,680
of this meat into her mouth.

2388
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:52,040
I thought she was gonna, I literally thought

2389
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:53,160
she was gonna pass out.

2390
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:56,040
She was like, this is the most incredible meat

2391
01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:57,400
I've ever tried in my life.

2392
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:00,400
And I said, ma'am, you may not know this

2393
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:02,720
but the man who made this steak for you,

2394
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,840
the gentleman who cooked that is literally

2395
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:08,840
a world-class winning chef

2396
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:13,640
who's made this steak for you.

2397
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,440
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity

2398
01:36:17,440 --> 01:36:20,000
and God bless you, I'm glad you were able to experience it.

2399
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:23,760
So dope ass story, but shout out to Bama.

2400
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:26,600
And it was amazing for me to be able to experience that

2401
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,080
with this young lady like for her,

2402
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:30,960
her eyes rolled back in her head.

2403
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:32,240
It was the shark experience.

2404
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:35,600
It was so dope to see her do that.

2405
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:37,120
So yeah, it was amazing.

2406
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:39,640
So shout out Justin, I'm telling you,

2407
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,800
when you have that kind of support

2408
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:46,520
from people that rep global brands

2409
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:50,240
and they're taking time out of their personal day, right?

2410
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:54,760
To tap into a live and be like, yo, this is my guy.

2411
01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:58,440
And I wanna follow, I wanna see what it is that he's doing.

2412
01:36:58,440 --> 01:37:00,000
That's incredible.

2413
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:01,400
Thank you, Justin, for coming in

2414
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,960
and checking this out and hanging out,

2415
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:07,040
watching Big Uncle the Nephew with our boy Willie, man.

2416
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:08,960
Means a lot, means a lot.

2417
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:10,480
Yeah, man.

2418
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:13,160
But you got me locked in, bro.

2419
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:14,320
Any other questions?

2420
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:16,440
Yeah, I got some more questions for you, brother.

2421
01:37:16,440 --> 01:37:18,880
Obviously we could talk barbecue and cooking

2422
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:20,960
and all that stuff all day long.

2423
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:23,240
But I like to get into some of the other stuff,

2424
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:25,320
some things that maybe people don't know about.

2425
01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:28,320
So obviously you got them nice rigs,

2426
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:30,520
you got them trucks, you're doing some traveling.

2427
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:31,960
If you're gonna go out on a road trip,

2428
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:32,920
say you're gonna come up here,

2429
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:35,760
come to Tones next birthday bash,

2430
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:38,320
what are you gonna get when you stop at the gas station?

2431
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:41,040
What kind of snacks are you getting on your way out?

2432
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:45,080
Ooh, gas station, gas station eats.

2433
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:46,240
Okay, that's a good one.

2434
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,160
Shout out to Beatdown Barbecue.

2435
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:50,640
So let me take a second.

2436
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:54,360
Beatdown is phenomenal.

2437
01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,960
When it comes to barbecue, his ability to make sausages,

2438
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:02,280
Beatdown is, he's amazing, man.

2439
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:04,920
He's a master of his craft,

2440
01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:07,360
really, really good at what it is that he does,

2441
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:10,000
been a huge supporter for a lot of years.

2442
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,080
And shout out to him, he literally just taught a class.

2443
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:16,160
He's real big on culinary, teaching,

2444
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:17,800
doing all that sort of thing.

2445
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:19,840
But the fact that he does what he does,

2446
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:22,000
it still does awesome barbecue.

2447
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:23,600
So shout out to Beatdown Barbecue.

2448
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:26,520
Wait, Beatdown Barbecue, that's the jujitsu guy.

2449
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,680
Okay, I know exactly who you're talking about.

2450
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:31,160
I follow him.

2451
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,640
He was just doing a watch how fat,

2452
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:37,520
watch me trim this brisket in X amount of time,

2453
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:38,680
I believe, right?

2454
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:42,800
Yeah, yeah, what's up, ooze homie, what's going on?

2455
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,680
So look at this, right here, we're gonna do the Cains.

2456
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:47,400
Ooh, the Paloma.

2457
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:50,440
Adventures of a Fat Guy, Paloma.

2458
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:52,360
Oh, man.

2459
01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:53,200
Cheers to you guys.

2460
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:54,040
Salud, brother.

2461
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:54,880
Let's do this.

2462
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,760
Salud, wish I had got a chance to get my hands on that one.

2463
01:38:57,760 --> 01:38:59,120
You didn't get, oh.

2464
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:00,280
I'm gonna hit the next one.

2465
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:02,160
I'm gonna hit the next one, don't trip.

2466
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:04,680
I know how it goes too, especially after the run's over,

2467
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:06,600
man, you only got a couple more left,

2468
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,280
so you gotta keep those close to the heart.

2469
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:12,080
Oh, sure, but shout out Beatdown,

2470
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:14,320
and I'm sorry, I forget where we're at right now.

2471
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:16,120
So the question was,

2472
01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:17,440
you're heading out on a road trip,

2473
01:39:17,440 --> 01:39:19,080
you're gonna stop at the gas station,

2474
01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:21,320
what are you picking up for your road trips next?

2475
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:22,440
Facts.

2476
01:39:22,440 --> 01:39:25,200
So I'm a big, I'm a savory dude,

2477
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:26,320
I know it doesn't look like it,

2478
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:28,200
but I don't mess with a lot of sweets.

2479
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:30,120
So beef jerky, right?

2480
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:32,840
Beef jerky, peanuts, that type of stuff.

2481
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:34,520
So funny story, it's actually a post

2482
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:35,920
I've been waiting to put up.

2483
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:41,920
On the way to Vegas, there's that really popular stop,

2484
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:44,920
oh my God, what's the name of it, Ed?

2485
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:48,880
I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

2486
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:50,680
I picked up some beef jerky there.

2487
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,960
How much do you think their beef jerky was a pound?

2488
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:58,320
Ooh, for a pound of beef jerky, $14.99.

2489
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:01,920
So you got it?

2490
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:03,320
That's what I'm guessing.

2491
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,000
$100 a pound.

2492
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:08,520
Holy shit.

2493
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,960
So I just picked a few pieces and I was like,

2494
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,760
let me have a couple pieces of this, couple pieces of that.

2495
01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:18,240
Well, lo and behold, there's no prices on any of this.

2496
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:20,760
So we get to the gas register,

2497
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:25,760
something was like 70 bucks a pound, $74.99 a pound,

2498
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:28,560
and something else that I chose was like 99 bucks a pound.

2499
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:32,560
I'm like, whoa, you realize I do this for a living, right?

2500
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,720
How are you gonna charge $100 a pound?

2501
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:37,720
I'm like, I don't know, I don't know.

2502
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:40,800
I don't care if it's a pound, I don't care if it's a five.

2503
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:44,960
What the, $100, it was $99 a pound.

2504
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:48,560
So Eddie's World, I think is that what it's called?

2505
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:49,400
Okay, I'm not sure.

2506
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,760
I've never actually made the drive to Vegas.

2507
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:52,880
I think it's Eddie's World,

2508
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:57,880
but yeah, it was regular old beef jerky, but it was great.

2509
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:00,200
I wanted to buy in like, I don't know,

2510
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:02,760
it was maybe three quarters of a pound

2511
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:05,840
and it was like $78 worth of beef jerky.

2512
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:08,720
I remember getting into the truck and my wife was like,

2513
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:09,560
hey, so what'd you get?

2514
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:13,360
And I was like, $80 worth of beef jerky.

2515
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:14,680
She's like, what the shit?

2516
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:16,280
What the, what is this?

2517
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:19,680
So yeah, but so my guilty pleasure, long story longer,

2518
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:24,680
I love seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, beef jerky,

2519
01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:26,600
that type of stuff.

2520
01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:28,520
I'm not really big into sweets,

2521
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:30,920
I don't know if they look like it, but yeah.

2522
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:32,760
So long story longer, that's what I'm into.

2523
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:35,040
You have a brand of sunflower seeds you go for

2524
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:36,480
or does it not really matter?

2525
01:41:36,480 --> 01:41:40,120
So typically bigs, but the new brand,

2526
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:41,240
the one that's coming out,

2527
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:44,040
the one that's beating everybody up on TikTok right now.

2528
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:47,960
I can't remember the name of them.

2529
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:50,640
I think they might've reached out once,

2530
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,040
but there's a really, there's a cool brand

2531
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:56,280
that's real big into like Major League Baseball.

2532
01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:57,560
And that's- I've seen those guys.

2533
01:41:57,560 --> 01:41:58,400
I've seen those guys.

2534
01:41:58,400 --> 01:41:59,800
Yeah, so I wanna give them a shot,

2535
01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:02,240
but typically, so I was diehard David.

2536
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:03,560
David's sunflower seeds,

2537
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:05,280
I grew up as a little kid.

2538
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:07,480
That's what we liked, what we all used.

2539
01:42:07,480 --> 01:42:11,160
And then bigs came along, they got some dope flavors, right?

2540
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:12,960
So I was kind of into that for a little while,

2541
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:15,280
but I really wanna try this new brand,

2542
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:16,840
the one that's out on TikTok right now.

2543
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:18,320
If y'all are watching this,

2544
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:20,280
I'll let you boy, I wanna give you guys a shot.

2545
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:21,120
For sure, yeah.

2546
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:22,120
I think I've seen those videos,

2547
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:24,000
they go out to the baseball games,

2548
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:25,440
they offer them up to the players and stuff.

2549
01:42:25,440 --> 01:42:26,280
That's the one.

2550
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:29,480
They've got flavors like churro and stuff like that, right?

2551
01:42:29,480 --> 01:42:30,320
Yeah.

2552
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:32,160
Bigs is my preference, you know?

2553
01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:35,240
The salt content is kind of just right for me.

2554
01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:37,200
David's is just a little too salty, man.

2555
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:39,000
I like to, on a road trip,

2556
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:42,040
I'm gonna be eating them seeds for a long time, man.

2557
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:44,320
Those David's ones, they start getting to me,

2558
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:45,160
all that salt.

2559
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:46,000
They will, dude.

2560
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:47,280
They'll tear up your tongue, right?

2561
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:48,960
Yeah, for sure.

2562
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:50,960
Especially when you got a long road trip.

2563
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:54,240
We head up to Tahoe a lot, and I'm in Southern California,

2564
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:57,520
and we make that run, it's an eight or 10 hour run.

2565
01:42:57,520 --> 01:42:59,720
So that's the last thing you wanna do.

2566
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:02,600
But yeah, any more, any other questions?

2567
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:06,120
Anything else that I can help the people out with?

2568
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:09,480
I don't know if we had any more coming popped in here yet.

2569
01:43:09,480 --> 01:43:11,320
I think people just kind of shooting the shit with us,

2570
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:13,120
talking along the way with us.

2571
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:14,360
What do you do when you go to Tahoe?

2572
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:15,360
Where do you guys go?

2573
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:18,960
So South Lake Tahoe, we're South Lake Tahoe geeks.

2574
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:23,160
We're down near Cam Richardson.

2575
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:26,160
We're down near Emerald Bay.

2576
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:27,440
We really like going into there.

2577
01:43:27,440 --> 01:43:29,320
So I love tent camping.

2578
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:32,560
So I'm just a big fan of old school tent camping.

2579
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:34,160
It's kind of how I was raised.

2580
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:37,200
But as we get older, my wife's like,

2581
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,600
man, she wants an Airbnb, she wants a trailer.

2582
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,600
So, and I respect it, man.

2583
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:45,080
And I mean, now that we have the new rig,

2584
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:46,680
that was the reason why I went so big.

2585
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:48,400
A lot of people say, do you have a toy hauler?

2586
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:49,400
Do you have this?

2587
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:52,080
Right now I don't, but I've always been the type

2588
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:56,200
to where I wanna set myself up for whatever I wanna do.

2589
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:58,320
I'm capable of towing it.

2590
01:43:58,320 --> 01:43:59,880
If it's a house, it doesn't matter.

2591
01:43:59,880 --> 01:44:02,160
I can tow anything that I need to tow right now.

2592
01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:06,080
So that being said, you never know.

2593
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:07,520
We might not go on that route,

2594
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:09,760
but South Lake Tahoe is our shit.

2595
01:44:11,480 --> 01:44:13,520
We like to go fishing.

2596
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:17,080
There's a fishing company, a charter that we go out of.

2597
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:17,920
It's just amazing.

2598
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,600
So we charter a boat every time we go out there.

2599
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:23,120
We do some lake trout.

2600
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:24,280
It's amazing.

2601
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:25,120
Oh yeah.

2602
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,800
Sonny's asking, what was your biggest struggle

2603
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:29,160
when you first got started?

2604
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:35,320
Biggest struggle, probably the mental game, I would say,

2605
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:36,880
cause you always question yourself, right?

2606
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:38,480
Like, what are you doing right?

2607
01:44:38,480 --> 01:44:40,520
What are you doing wrong?

2608
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:42,840
It's hard not to wanna just stare

2609
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:44,840
at the speedometer all the time.

2610
01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:47,520
You just always stare at Tahoe Meetup,

2611
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:48,480
cooking in the yard.

2612
01:44:48,480 --> 01:44:50,400
That's what I'm talking about, playboy.

2613
01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:52,400
So we're actually supposed to do something

2614
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:55,240
with Live Fire Republic.

2615
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:57,920
We were supposed to do something before he did

2616
01:44:57,920 --> 01:44:59,840
this major drop that he did,

2617
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:02,920
and it was supposed to be done on Lake Tahoe.

2618
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:06,840
So shout out to Live Fire Republic.

2619
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:09,760
We do have something that we've kind of had earmarked

2620
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:13,440
for a little bit to do a Live Fire Cook.

2621
01:45:13,440 --> 01:45:18,440
What we wanna do is take my fishing guide,

2622
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:23,840
meet up with him, catch some lake trout, some Mackinaw.

2623
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:26,040
Lake trout is called Mackinaw,

2624
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:28,120
and do some Live Fire cooking with that.

2625
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:30,800
So you're onto something there cooking in the yard.

2626
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:31,800
Sounds amazing, man.

2627
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:32,840
Sounds amazing. Absolutely.

2628
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:34,360
You guys need some extra help?

2629
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:35,720
I'm glad to head up that way.

2630
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:37,120
We're all about that, bro.

2631
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:39,160
We're all about having a good time.

2632
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:41,000
You know how it is, we check our egos at the door,

2633
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,080
we're just there to stoke a fire, eat some food.

2634
01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:44,400
That's how it is. That's it.

2635
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:46,280
My biggest struggle when I started, again,

2636
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:50,200
probably mentally, because you see everybody else

2637
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:53,040
that you see kind of quote unquote doing it, right?

2638
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:57,040
Doing the stuff that we're doing right now.

2639
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:02,040
And it's not hard to look at those people

2640
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:05,240
and be like, hey, I wanna be a part of that.

2641
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:06,760
What is it that they're doing?

2642
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:12,200
So I would say that's probably the most difficult part

2643
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:14,680
is trying to separate yourself from that

2644
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:16,840
and create your own lane.

2645
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:20,480
Realize that you can create your own platform,

2646
01:46:20,480 --> 01:46:24,760
your own lane, doing what it is that you like to do.

2647
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:27,640
And you don't necessarily have to follow

2648
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:29,280
what other people are doing.

2649
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:30,560
I mentioned this the other day

2650
01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:33,720
because somebody else had asked about,

2651
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:35,960
I might've been in a private group chat,

2652
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,360
but somebody was asking,

2653
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:43,360
I had a very distinct bite shot loop at the end of my video

2654
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:46,760
that came stupid popular.

2655
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:48,320
And I'm not saying I invented it.

2656
01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:52,400
I'm just saying that it evolved into the thing to do

2657
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,600
like Tone's, it's money bite shot, right?

2658
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:57,440
With his wings, all of that stuff.

2659
01:46:57,440 --> 01:46:59,520
So it was a variation of that

2660
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:03,200
that came to fruition before Tone started doing that.

2661
01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:06,320
But nevertheless, it kind of became a thing.

2662
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:10,000
So I kind of pivoted away from that after the fact,

2663
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:13,720
consciously, because I just wanted to do something

2664
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,160
a little bit different.

2665
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:19,080
So that's probably one of the most difficult parts is

2666
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:22,400
finding your lane, your brand,

2667
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:25,960
and what's gonna make you pop, if that makes sense.

2668
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,720
So, excuse me,

2669
01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:33,840
find out what's gonna help you and your brand along

2670
01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:36,040
and build off of that.

2671
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:38,240
It might be something completely different

2672
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:40,600
than everybody else has done, right?

2673
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:45,600
Look at his name, are you kidding me?

2674
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:48,280
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

2675
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:49,800
Cooking with Daryl.

2676
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:50,640
Yep.

2677
01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:53,080
Finally got a chance to meet him in Vegas.

2678
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:56,640
Sweetheart of a man, amazing, knew everything about me.

2679
01:47:56,640 --> 01:47:59,800
Knew all about my cooks, like it was phenomenal.

2680
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:00,920
But that's his thing, right?

2681
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:02,120
Are you kidding me?

2682
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:05,320
But it's genuine, it just comes across, that's his thing.

2683
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:06,480
So that's difficult.

2684
01:48:06,480 --> 01:48:09,080
I would say that's the most difficult part is

2685
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:12,560
finding your own lane, finding what works for you,

2686
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:14,120
and building off of that.

2687
01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:17,320
You wanna do that, you wanna separate yourself

2688
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:20,040
from the pack if you possibly can,

2689
01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:22,920
because just following along,

2690
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:26,000
they're not gonna look at you for,

2691
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,080
hey, this is the adventure of a fat guy.

2692
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:31,760
They're gonna be like, oh, that's that move that TFTI does.

2693
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:33,720
If I were to hold up a chicken wing

2694
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:35,840
or whatever it is that I'm doing every single time

2695
01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:38,040
and say that's money,

2696
01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:42,480
people are gonna know where that came from, right?

2697
01:48:42,480 --> 01:48:44,080
And that's not my goal.

2698
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:47,600
My goal is to maybe pay homage or play off of that,

2699
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:51,400
or maybe make a joke off of that at some point,

2700
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:53,280
but it's not to make it my own.

2701
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:55,960
So that's the most difficult part.

2702
01:48:55,960 --> 01:48:59,280
Find your lane, find out what works for you,

2703
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,440
and it's gonna take some trial and error.

2704
01:49:01,440 --> 01:49:03,280
It's gonna suck at some point,

2705
01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:07,000
but eventually you're gonna go, this is my shit.

2706
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:09,520
You're gonna find that thing that just works for you.

2707
01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:10,840
We got a question that came in

2708
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:12,880
from Black Tie Cocktail Syrups.

2709
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:15,760
Wanted to know what was your favorite kind of MacGyver meal

2710
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:19,080
that you just threw together and really enjoyed it?

2711
01:49:19,080 --> 01:49:21,840
Oh, let me see.

2712
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:24,680
Probably hard to pick one, but maybe you got a couple?

2713
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:27,680
MacGyver meal.

2714
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:28,900
I really like,

2715
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:34,040
I just wanted to kind of build off of the Tahoe stuff.

2716
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:36,000
Shout out to that.

2717
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:40,120
We'll get back to Tahoe for you.

2718
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:41,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no.

2719
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:46,520
MacGyver meal, I would say some of us may or may not

2720
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:48,720
have been incarcerated in their life.

2721
01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:51,640
Hell of a spread, huh?

2722
01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:54,280
There's a hell of a spread that you can do,

2723
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:58,920
but there's some cool stuff that you can do

2724
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:01,760
with everyday ingredients, and it's funny

2725
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:04,320
because even early on in my life,

2726
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:08,120
I remember when all we had were sopas, right?

2727
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,600
All you had were top ramen or some cup of noodle

2728
01:50:10,600 --> 01:50:14,400
or some matoochon, and I remember a time in my life

2729
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:17,080
where my parents would throw a little corn in there,

2730
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,320
a little bit, dude, if you were doing it big,

2731
01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:21,240
you had some spam, right?

2732
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:24,240
Just some chopped lunch meat, some hot dogs,

2733
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:28,760
and just kind of make a real hearty type soup out of it,

2734
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:32,280
just to kind of warm your soul, fill your belly,

2735
01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:35,080
that broth and all that fills your stomach, right?

2736
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:38,200
So there's times when all of those things come to place,

2737
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,800
and I know that right now, people are talking about

2738
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:42,640
what's healthy and is there MSG,

2739
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:45,160
like you know all this stuff that people are talking about,

2740
01:50:45,160 --> 01:50:47,320
but everything has a point and a time

2741
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:49,520
and a place in your life.

2742
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:51,280
There's a time when that comes across

2743
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:54,040
where you just need to fill the gap

2744
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:56,000
and you need something warm in your stomach

2745
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:57,640
because you gotta go to sleep

2746
01:50:57,640 --> 01:50:59,240
and you gotta do it all again tomorrow.

2747
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:02,160
So don't judge people for that type of shit.

2748
01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:03,800
There's sometimes people are eating that

2749
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:06,280
because that's all that they have in their cabinet.

2750
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:09,920
So don't be so judgmental talking about MSG

2751
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:12,480
and carbohydrates and fat and sodium.

2752
01:51:12,480 --> 01:51:15,440
Sometimes that's all that people literally have

2753
01:51:15,440 --> 01:51:18,160
in their cabinet, and they're just trying to share

2754
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:20,520
because they wanna be a part of this community.

2755
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:23,560
So don't be a dick, give them some love,

2756
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:24,680
let them share what they're sharing.

2757
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:27,800
There you go, good point, man.

2758
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:29,080
I don't know if he's still in here,

2759
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:30,400
Mel just dropped in real quick.

2760
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:33,600
Mel, you got a bunch of flowers delivered to you

2761
01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:35,800
from Sweet Willy over here earlier, man.

2762
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:37,440
Wish you were able to hear all the nice things

2763
01:51:37,440 --> 01:51:38,360
he said about you.

2764
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:39,960
Shout out to Mel.

2765
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:41,880
Mel is a freaking sweetheart.

2766
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:47,080
I love that man, legitimately love that man.

2767
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:51,840
He is such a genuine down to earth, honest,

2768
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:55,520
what you see on screen is what you get person.

2769
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:56,840
He's just amazing.

2770
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:59,480
So he pulls no punches.

2771
01:51:59,480 --> 01:52:02,520
He'll not, he's, if he talks shit to you behind your back,

2772
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:04,800
he's gonna talk shit to you in front of your back.

2773
01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:05,880
That's just the way Mel is.

2774
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:07,200
So shout out to Mel.

2775
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:09,520
He's a beautiful human being.

2776
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:14,520
I did see somebody earlier ask something rather different,

2777
01:52:15,440 --> 01:52:19,440
which was Donner Lake for South Lake Tahoe.

2778
01:52:19,440 --> 01:52:23,760
So only people that know know.

2779
01:52:23,760 --> 01:52:26,320
So there's a pass that kind of goes through

2780
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:31,800
north west side of Lake Tahoe,

2781
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:34,240
which kind of takes you up through Truckee.

2782
01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:36,560
And there's a place called Donner Pass.

2783
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:39,560
There's a lake there called Donner Lake.

2784
01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:42,000
We actually took our boat there one time

2785
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,880
and I should you not, it is,

2786
01:52:44,880 --> 01:52:49,440
I mean, you could look down 40 feet

2787
01:52:49,440 --> 01:52:53,760
and make out every single pebble and structure

2788
01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:55,840
on a rock in the bottom of lake.

2789
01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:57,840
It's melted ice water.

2790
01:52:57,840 --> 01:53:00,640
It is, it'll take your breath away.

2791
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:02,120
It's gorgeous.

2792
01:53:02,120 --> 01:53:04,760
And we frigging dropped anchor there one time,

2793
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:09,760
trying to fish and it got lodged between two rocks.

2794
01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:11,440
And no matter what we did,

2795
01:53:11,440 --> 01:53:13,880
we fought with it for like two hours.

2796
01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:15,680
That bitch wasn't coming out.

2797
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:17,200
We cut the line.

2798
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,280
We looked, we hooked up the damn boat

2799
01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:22,440
and we went back down the hill over to South Lake Tahoe.

2800
01:53:22,440 --> 01:53:24,480
So with that question,

2801
01:53:24,480 --> 01:53:26,240
I would probably say South Lake Tahoe

2802
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:28,840
because frigging Donner Lake ate my anchor,

2803
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:30,400
that son of a bitch.

2804
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:35,400
But it is a gorgeous lake if you're ever in that area.

2805
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:38,080
It's life changing.

2806
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:38,920
That's what's up.

2807
01:53:38,920 --> 01:53:43,240
So I lived in this little tiny town called Wheatland.

2808
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:44,800
It's not so tiny anymore.

2809
01:53:44,800 --> 01:53:47,120
Now they've got a hard rock casino out there.

2810
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:49,920
There's a concert venue out there.

2811
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:52,440
It's kind of blown up quite a bit now,

2812
01:53:52,440 --> 01:53:55,360
but I lived out in the country just on the outskirts.

2813
01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:57,560
And so you go through this town

2814
01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:01,560
that only had two stop signs, not even a stoplight in it.

2815
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:04,240
You could take this country road out to the lake,

2816
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:05,480
Camp Far West Lake.

2817
01:54:05,480 --> 01:54:06,360
And along the way,

2818
01:54:06,360 --> 01:54:09,360
there's a monument out there for the Donner party.

2819
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:11,440
The Donner party made their way

2820
01:54:11,440 --> 01:54:16,000
from wherever they were up at Donner Lake, right?

2821
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:18,960
Made their way down on their whole trek

2822
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:21,200
and came through Spenceville Road.

2823
01:54:21,200 --> 01:54:24,360
And so they have a cool little monument out there,

2824
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:26,960
just kind of piggybacking on that whole Donner Lake,

2825
01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:28,720
Donner party situation.

2826
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:31,440
But it was a little bit eerie, you know what I mean?

2827
01:54:31,440 --> 01:54:33,000
For those of you guys,

2828
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:35,060
if you don't know the story of the Donner party,

2829
01:54:35,060 --> 01:54:37,200
just do a Google search and read up on it.

2830
01:54:37,200 --> 01:54:40,640
It was some crazy times for sure.

2831
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:42,080
That's wild, man.

2832
01:54:42,080 --> 01:54:44,200
That's a story right there,

2833
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:45,560
because you're absolutely right.

2834
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:46,880
Somebody else just commented,

2835
01:54:46,880 --> 01:54:48,800
Mackinaw are big in Donner.

2836
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:49,720
You're absolutely right.

2837
01:54:49,720 --> 01:54:54,720
So Mackinaw are giant lake trout for people who don't know.

2838
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:59,160
So my brother, we have been going to,

2839
01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:02,040
I wish I could show you, let me see, maybe I can.

2840
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:02,860
Let me see.

2841
01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:08,880
So that right there is a photograph.

2842
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:09,720
A photograph.

2843
01:55:09,720 --> 01:55:11,480
I know where that is.

2844
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:14,140
Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe.

2845
01:55:14,140 --> 01:55:17,320
And we actually had a photographer

2846
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:21,880
who was selling his art in town.

2847
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:24,560
And I've never purchased this type of art

2848
01:55:24,560 --> 01:55:26,320
ever before in my life.

2849
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:30,480
But having seen that throughout my entire life

2850
01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:34,520
of Emerald Bay, I knew that I had to have it.

2851
01:55:34,520 --> 01:55:39,520
So funny story about Emerald Bay.

2852
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:44,520
But so I mentioned that because we go fishing there

2853
01:55:45,480 --> 01:55:49,440
all the time and there was one year in particular,

2854
01:55:49,440 --> 01:55:50,680
I couldn't make it.

2855
01:55:50,680 --> 01:55:53,840
Just schedule didn't work out and it was my dad,

2856
01:55:53,840 --> 01:55:57,960
my pops and they hired the same charter we always hire,

2857
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:02,960
which is, I'll have to tag him later.

2858
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:05,080
Skip my mind right now.

2859
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:10,080
But anyway, his name is Mike and amazing, amazing boat charter

2860
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:12,240
boat captain.

2861
01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:14,940
He takes my brother out and he catches

2862
01:56:14,940 --> 01:56:18,740
this championship Mackinaw.

2863
01:56:18,740 --> 01:56:21,740
It was like 28 pounds.

2864
01:56:21,740 --> 01:56:24,920
The length of it, it was like 42 inches long.

2865
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:27,440
There's video and pictures of it everywhere.

2866
01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:31,880
And it was the opportunity and the catch of a lifetime.

2867
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:34,480
My brother said he didn't know what to do with it.

2868
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:37,160
And he was asking Mike Arturi, he was like,

2869
01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:39,200
Hey, what do I do?

2870
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:41,600
He's like, Hey, listen, man, at the end of the day,

2871
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:43,360
you're paying me to be here.

2872
01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:48,080
Me personally, that's probably a 50 year old fish.

2873
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:53,920
You want that to sustain the fishery.

2874
01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:57,760
And my brother made the call at that particular moment

2875
01:56:57,760 --> 01:56:59,240
and he released it.

2876
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:01,880
So he got some pictures, some measurements,

2877
01:57:01,880 --> 01:57:04,240
they measured the girth of it.

2878
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:07,400
It's still a potential record at that point.

2879
01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:11,960
But nevertheless, one, an amazing, amazing memory

2880
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:15,840
that South Lake Tahoe continues to give my family and I

2881
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:18,480
because it's just, it's breathtaking.

2882
01:57:18,480 --> 01:57:21,440
It doesn't look like it belongs in the state of California.

2883
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:23,000
Oh God, no, it doesn't.

2884
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:25,040
It's absolutely beautiful out there.

2885
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:27,360
The wife and I hope to retire out there one day.

2886
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:28,200
Right?

2887
01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:29,040
It's one of our favorite getaways.

2888
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:30,600
Yeah, 100%.

2889
01:57:30,600 --> 01:57:32,240
That what you're talking about right there,

2890
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:35,680
at Emerald Bay, have you ever gotten off a boat

2891
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:37,880
and climbed up on there and checked out like that little

2892
01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:41,400
fort on the top of the little island out there?

2893
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:43,280
So funny story.

2894
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,720
We've been going there for so many years.

2895
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:50,080
That one year, I think two years back to back,

2896
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:52,760
we finally decided to tow our boat up there.

2897
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,120
And it was just a blessing that we were able to

2898
01:57:57,120 --> 01:57:59,400
because you already know the quag muscles

2899
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:02,200
and all the different inspections that you have to do.

2900
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:04,480
But the boat was super clean.

2901
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:06,600
It's only been on the river down here in Laughlin

2902
01:58:06,600 --> 01:58:09,400
and Havasu for a lot of years.

2903
01:58:09,400 --> 01:58:11,240
They inspected it.

2904
01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:12,680
They're like, hell yeah, you're good to go.

2905
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:14,280
So we drove it.

2906
01:58:14,280 --> 01:58:17,160
We were able to take our own personal boat

2907
01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:20,600
after all of these years and tour Lake Tahoe

2908
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:22,600
on our own personal level.

2909
01:58:22,600 --> 01:58:26,240
And we actually went into Emerald Bay on our own boat

2910
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:29,680
because there's the castle that's down there at the bottom.

2911
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:31,200
So many amazing things.

2912
01:58:31,200 --> 01:58:36,200
There's the small tea house that's in the middle

2913
01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:39,920
of Emerald Bay, right?

2914
01:58:39,920 --> 01:58:42,560
So we were, we were able to pull up to that.

2915
01:58:42,560 --> 01:58:45,520
We were able to walk to that and to experience all that

2916
01:58:45,520 --> 01:58:47,800
and be a part and be on our own boat

2917
01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:50,360
and do whatever the hell it is that we wanted to do

2918
01:58:50,360 --> 01:58:53,360
was just, it was amazing.

2919
01:58:53,360 --> 01:58:55,360
Something I'll remember for the rest of my life,

2920
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,080
but yes, we've been there.

2921
01:58:57,080 --> 01:58:58,920
And to say that we've been able to do it

2922
01:58:58,920 --> 01:59:00,840
on our own boat is just bananas.

2923
01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:02,680
That's awesome, man.

2924
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:05,280
We do like to go out and when we go out there,

2925
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:06,560
we like to run a boat.

2926
01:59:06,560 --> 01:59:09,760
Every once in a while, we'll go run a boat out there.

2927
01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:12,360
And it's an absolute must stop place.

2928
01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:14,160
You gotta go over there, you know?

2929
01:59:14,160 --> 01:59:15,520
Mandatory.

2930
01:59:15,520 --> 01:59:17,920
You guys ever go over like Zephyr Cove area?

2931
01:59:17,920 --> 01:59:19,400
You guys ever stayed up there?

2932
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:21,200
Zephyr's beautiful.

2933
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:24,200
I don't know that there's a part of the lake

2934
01:59:24,200 --> 01:59:27,920
that we haven't really visited in some way, shape, form.

2935
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:30,200
Back in the day when Ponderosa Ranch

2936
01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:32,920
was still up and running, we would always take

2937
01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:37,800
the run across to the northeastern part

2938
01:59:37,800 --> 01:59:41,400
and go into just south of Reno

2939
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:45,040
and head into that area there which was where

2940
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:46,760
the Ponderosa was.

2941
01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:49,080
So the Ponderosa was back in the day of

2942
01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:51,640
the Ponderosa Ranch.

2943
01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:54,840
It was part of the television show

2944
01:59:54,840 --> 01:59:57,920
and it was just a part of my childhood

2945
01:59:57,920 --> 02:00:00,720
that holds such a special part to me

2946
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:03,120
and the reason why that photo even exists

2947
02:00:03,120 --> 02:00:04,280
and why it's hanging on the wall.

2948
02:00:04,280 --> 02:00:06,920
I mean, it's not that I don't love art.

2949
02:00:06,920 --> 02:00:09,600
There's very few things that connect with me

2950
02:00:09,600 --> 02:00:11,400
on that level and that was one of them.

2951
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:14,160
So yeah, it's such a beautiful place.

2952
02:00:14,160 --> 02:00:17,160
You know, Chuck lives up in the Bay Area.

2953
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:20,600
So Bonanza exactly, shout out to Randy Brun.

2954
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:22,200
That's where Bonanza was filmed.

2955
02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:25,960
He's able to go there all the time

2956
02:00:25,960 --> 02:00:28,200
and he caters and does all kinds of dope shit.

2957
02:00:28,200 --> 02:00:30,760
So I tease him all the time, like bro,

2958
02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:31,600
are you really there?

2959
02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:33,960
He's like, yeah, I was just there

2960
02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:36,280
cruising through South Lake Tahoe.

2961
02:00:36,280 --> 02:00:38,240
It's not too bad for us to get up there, man.

2962
02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:42,040
Honestly, it's like a two and a half, three hour drive

2963
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:43,440
to get to Tahoe.

2964
02:00:43,440 --> 02:00:45,400
It's not too bad at all.

2965
02:00:45,400 --> 02:00:46,360
I wouldn't be right.

2966
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:48,120
I would constantly be there.

2967
02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:51,080
Oh, and Mike is a Tahoe top liners.

2968
02:00:51,080 --> 02:00:51,920
Oh, there you go.

2969
02:00:51,920 --> 02:00:54,680
So if you ever want a quality fishing company,

2970
02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:56,400
Tahoe top liners.

2971
02:00:57,560 --> 02:01:00,680
He's been around for a lot of years.

2972
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:03,280
He'll put you on the meat, he'll put you on the fish.

2973
02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:07,000
If you ever want to fish Lake Tahoe, Tahoe top liners.

2974
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:10,800
Yeah, it's just amazing to have been experienced

2975
02:01:10,800 --> 02:01:12,360
and done the stuff that we've done.

2976
02:01:12,360 --> 02:01:13,440
There are some older pictures.

2977
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,600
If you look at my page early on,

2978
02:01:15,600 --> 02:01:18,920
you'll see my pops and I limiting out on Mackinaw

2979
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:22,680
and kokanee salmon, which is kind of what was part

2980
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:26,520
of how the page came to fruition,

2981
02:01:26,520 --> 02:01:28,840
why it was adventures of a fat guy.

2982
02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:30,520
So many people would ask me,

2983
02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:33,320
hey, what adventure are you guys gonna go on this week?

2984
02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:39,200
What adventure are you gonna, so my dad, myself,

2985
02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:40,680
and my three of my uncles, my brother,

2986
02:01:40,680 --> 02:01:42,640
we worked together for a lot of years.

2987
02:01:42,640 --> 02:01:43,520
Oh, cool.

2988
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:46,760
And Friday night, they would always ask us,

2989
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:47,600
at the end of the day,

2990
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:48,960
hey, what adventure are you gonna go on this week?

2991
02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:49,920
What are you guys gonna do?

2992
02:01:49,920 --> 02:01:52,480
What's the Soto crew gonna do this time?

2993
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:55,440
So that's kind of how the name came to fruition,

2994
02:01:55,440 --> 02:01:57,600
which was just adventures of fat guy,

2995
02:01:57,600 --> 02:02:00,920
because there's so much stuff that was going on pre pandemic

2996
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:02,800
that a lot of people weren't able to see,

2997
02:02:02,800 --> 02:02:05,320
which is why it's part of my logo now.

2998
02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:08,880
You'll see the helicopter, the plane, the tent.

2999
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:13,880
There's a smoker, there's a smoky mountain

3000
02:02:14,360 --> 02:02:16,160
in the background of my logo.

3001
02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:19,400
There's trout jumping in the back of my logo,

3002
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:21,680
because all of those things, they're not just made up.

3003
02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:24,120
It's generally a part of what it is that I do

3004
02:02:24,120 --> 02:02:27,040
and what I grew up doing and what it is that I love.

3005
02:02:27,040 --> 02:02:30,360
Just unfortunately, the pandemic was in the middle of it,

3006
02:02:30,360 --> 02:02:32,440
so a lot of it's been on hold,

3007
02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:35,080
and now we're getting back into it.

3008
02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:36,960
There you go, so big outdoorsman, right?

3009
02:02:36,960 --> 02:02:38,840
Yeah, definitely, man.

3010
02:02:38,840 --> 02:02:39,920
That's my thing.

3011
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:42,680
I love that, and it's part of the reason why

3012
02:02:42,680 --> 02:02:45,760
with the ultimate adventure when I bought it,

3013
02:02:45,760 --> 02:02:47,000
so many people ask me,

3014
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:48,840
why do you want such a big ass truck?

3015
02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:50,760
Why do you want a fifth wheel?

3016
02:02:50,760 --> 02:02:53,560
Because I don't know what I'm gonna get into next, right?

3017
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:57,280
If the Lord gives me the ability,

3018
02:02:57,280 --> 02:02:59,440
and maybe I pick up a toy hauler,

3019
02:02:59,440 --> 02:03:02,120
and maybe I'm able to do that with my family,

3020
02:03:02,120 --> 02:03:03,480
I wanna be able to pull that.

3021
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:05,420
I wanna be able to enjoy that with my family.

3022
02:03:05,420 --> 02:03:08,760
So travel trailer may be coming up, who knows?

3023
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:10,840
But at the end of the day,

3024
02:03:10,840 --> 02:03:13,640
I love spending time with my family

3025
02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:15,480
to go back to the earlier comment,

3026
02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:19,080
which is what is it that I'd love to do on my personal time?

3027
02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:21,840
Spend time with my family, man, at the end of the day.

3028
02:03:21,840 --> 02:03:24,680
And that family isn't always blood family.

3029
02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:26,560
That family sometimes is you guys,

3030
02:03:26,560 --> 02:03:31,560
is Tone, is big Chuck, is Captain Ron,

3031
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:34,280
is the people that I've been able to meet throughout the years

3032
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:36,440
that are my legitimate family.

3033
02:03:36,440 --> 02:03:37,480
Man, come on up.

3034
02:03:37,480 --> 02:03:39,800
If you got my address and you got my personal cell phone

3035
02:03:39,800 --> 02:03:43,520
number, you know you got a personal place in my heart,

3036
02:03:43,520 --> 02:03:46,080
and we just gotta make a couple phone calls

3037
02:03:46,080 --> 02:03:47,360
to get you down here.

3038
02:03:47,360 --> 02:03:49,120
That's what's up, man.

3039
02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:51,920
So speaking of your vehicles and stuff,

3040
02:03:51,920 --> 02:03:54,240
is this truck, is this your favorite vehicle

3041
02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:56,440
you've ever owned, or do you have something

3042
02:03:56,440 --> 02:03:57,960
like near and dear to your heart,

3043
02:03:57,960 --> 02:03:59,320
maybe something that you'd let go

3044
02:03:59,320 --> 02:04:01,340
and wish you had never gotten rid of?

3045
02:04:03,280 --> 02:04:05,560
That's a tough one, that's a great question.

3046
02:04:05,560 --> 02:04:08,440
Probably one, yeah.

3047
02:04:08,440 --> 02:04:12,560
So I had a 62 Nova two-door R-top,

3048
02:04:13,520 --> 02:04:15,480
which is such a beautiful vehicle,

3049
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:18,000
but it was sitting, we were in a different point

3050
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:20,160
in our life, you know, my wife and I,

3051
02:04:20,160 --> 02:04:22,040
and we were in this house.

3052
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:27,040
We purchased this house in like 99, 2000.

3053
02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:29,920
So we've been here an awfully long time.

3054
02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:32,760
I was much, much younger back then,

3055
02:04:32,760 --> 02:04:34,440
but I had just picked up the vehicle

3056
02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:37,960
and I was like, man, I could do so much more,

3057
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:39,160
and it was just sitting here.

3058
02:04:39,160 --> 02:04:43,160
But that's one of the ones, it had a straight six in it,

3059
02:04:43,160 --> 02:04:44,720
it had four on the floor.

3060
02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:47,860
I really wish I would have kept that one.

3061
02:04:48,760 --> 02:04:50,240
And then that in my Suburban,

3062
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:51,600
I kinda wished that I would have kept.

3063
02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:53,980
But I also believe that there's,

3064
02:04:53,980 --> 02:04:55,560
everything has a purpose, right?

3065
02:04:55,560 --> 02:04:57,200
Everything's got a cycle.

3066
02:04:57,200 --> 02:04:58,040
Yeah.

3067
02:04:58,040 --> 02:05:00,280
Sometimes you just gotta let that go on

3068
02:05:00,280 --> 02:05:01,120
to the next person.

3069
02:05:01,120 --> 02:05:03,200
You know, my Suburban, excuse me,

3070
02:05:03,200 --> 02:05:05,240
that I had talked about earlier,

3071
02:05:05,240 --> 02:05:07,560
it had a big block, 454.

3072
02:05:07,560 --> 02:05:09,160
I took off the belt driven fan.

3073
02:05:09,160 --> 02:05:11,880
I put dual electric B-cool fans in it,

3074
02:05:11,880 --> 02:05:14,040
aluminum radiator, regeared the rear end,

3075
02:05:14,040 --> 02:05:16,240
everything you could possibly do to it.

3076
02:05:16,240 --> 02:05:18,040
And that bit still overheated on me

3077
02:05:18,040 --> 02:05:20,040
on the way to the river.

3078
02:05:20,040 --> 02:05:23,600
So, but it was just part of the big block of that year.

3079
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:27,040
So I wanted to get off of it.

3080
02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:29,480
And when we actually got to the river that year,

3081
02:05:29,480 --> 02:05:32,200
I told my wife, I said, hey,

3082
02:05:32,200 --> 02:05:35,920
when we get back, I'm buying a new truck.

3083
02:05:35,920 --> 02:05:37,520
I'm gonna order a new truck.

3084
02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:39,080
We're going diesel.

3085
02:05:39,080 --> 02:05:40,920
And everybody out here is pulling,

3086
02:05:40,920 --> 02:05:42,760
is running diesel for a reason.

3087
02:05:42,760 --> 02:05:45,060
And I was the first one in my family to do it.

3088
02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:48,800
So we did, we ordered my 06LBZ.

3089
02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:50,680
And that's kinda how that came to fruition.

3090
02:05:50,680 --> 02:05:52,740
So I feel like everything,

3091
02:05:52,740 --> 02:05:54,560
there's some favorites in my life.

3092
02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:56,760
Some ones that I wish I hadn't sold.

3093
02:05:56,760 --> 02:06:00,720
My father had a 1956 Bel Air.

3094
02:06:00,720 --> 02:06:01,900
He was very, very young.

3095
02:06:01,900 --> 02:06:04,840
I have some dope pictures at the end of our block

3096
02:06:04,840 --> 02:06:07,400
down in East LA in the heart of Montevideo,

3097
02:06:07,400 --> 02:06:09,240
which is where we're all from.

3098
02:06:09,240 --> 02:06:12,760
And he wound up having to sell it.

3099
02:06:12,760 --> 02:06:15,160
Some family members would get into it.

3100
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:17,500
They would get a little intoxicated

3101
02:06:17,500 --> 02:06:19,200
and really tear shit up.

3102
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:21,280
He was just really afraid that eventually

3103
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:23,160
somebody was gonna kill themselves.

3104
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:25,320
He had a cool, you know, 427 in it

3105
02:06:25,320 --> 02:06:27,080
and a lot of work done to it.

3106
02:06:27,080 --> 02:06:28,840
I have pictures of it,

3107
02:06:28,840 --> 02:06:30,860
but he wound up having to get rid of it.

3108
02:06:30,860 --> 02:06:33,400
So eventually at a different point in his life,

3109
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:36,680
he searched for another one that we were able to,

3110
02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:38,480
actually searched for the same one.

3111
02:06:38,480 --> 02:06:41,440
I tried to find it through some friends

3112
02:06:41,440 --> 02:06:46,440
in the law enforcement community.

3113
02:06:46,520 --> 02:06:49,560
We did some searches and it fell off the,

3114
02:06:49,560 --> 02:06:53,060
it essentially fell off the earth in like the late 70s.

3115
02:06:53,060 --> 02:06:55,120
Nobody could ever find it since then.

3116
02:06:55,120 --> 02:06:57,620
But nevertheless, we wanted to pick it up another one.

3117
02:06:57,620 --> 02:06:59,840
So that car right there,

3118
02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:03,760
besides what it is that I've built throughout the years,

3119
02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:05,840
I had the very, very first

3120
02:07:07,500 --> 02:07:12,500
Ford or Acura Integra GSR in a forest green

3121
02:07:12,620 --> 02:07:14,520
that was here on the West Coast.

3122
02:07:14,520 --> 02:07:18,280
I was really big into the import scene for a lot of years.

3123
02:07:18,280 --> 02:07:21,400
Street racing and all that stupid stuff.

3124
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:23,840
But that one plays a big, big part.

3125
02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:27,120
Just, you know, things that you're gonna realize

3126
02:07:27,120 --> 02:07:29,920
throughout your life that play a part, right?

3127
02:07:29,920 --> 02:07:31,800
They all have a story.

3128
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:34,040
They all have a chapter in your life.

3129
02:07:34,040 --> 02:07:36,880
And I think at some point I used to always be

3130
02:07:36,880 --> 02:07:39,920
a little bitter like, shit, I wish I had done this

3131
02:07:39,920 --> 02:07:41,480
or shit, I wish I'd done that.

3132
02:07:41,480 --> 02:07:45,480
But at the end of the day, it was a point in my life.

3133
02:07:45,480 --> 02:07:48,520
And you know, the same way with what it is that I have now,

3134
02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:50,640
I'm fortunate enough to have what I have.

3135
02:07:50,640 --> 02:07:54,380
And who knows how long I'm gonna have it.

3136
02:07:54,380 --> 02:07:56,560
But in the time, for the time that I got it,

3137
02:07:56,560 --> 02:07:57,840
I'm gonna enjoy it.

3138
02:07:57,840 --> 02:07:59,720
For sure, you're gonna create a bunch of memories

3139
02:07:59,720 --> 02:08:00,880
with it, man.

3140
02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:01,960
That's exactly what that is.

3141
02:08:01,960 --> 02:08:04,080
That's built for memories, you know?

3142
02:08:04,080 --> 02:08:05,880
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

3143
02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:07,840
And you know, we've built a lot of memories

3144
02:08:07,840 --> 02:08:09,560
off of it together.

3145
02:08:09,560 --> 02:08:12,680
I don't know, I'd like Tone to share this story himself,

3146
02:08:12,680 --> 02:08:17,160
but when I launched the Ultimate Adventure,

3147
02:08:17,160 --> 02:08:19,440
you know, he reached out to me personally.

3148
02:08:19,440 --> 02:08:23,480
Tone, TFTI, T-F-T-I, Barbecue, everybody knows Tone.

3149
02:08:23,480 --> 02:08:25,400
He was like, listen, man,

3150
02:08:25,400 --> 02:08:29,320
you living out your dream just inspired me.

3151
02:08:29,320 --> 02:08:33,760
And I wanna live my own dream.

3152
02:08:33,760 --> 02:08:36,160
And he wanted to buy his dream truck,

3153
02:08:36,160 --> 02:08:41,160
which was, you know, a TRX, which is so badass.

3154
02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:44,040
He came down, he drove it down right after he got it.

3155
02:08:44,040 --> 02:08:45,640
He had to park the driveway.

3156
02:08:45,640 --> 02:08:50,640
Like, it was a very, very pivotal and special moment for us

3157
02:08:50,640 --> 02:08:55,440
to be able for both of us to be in the same place

3158
02:08:55,440 --> 02:08:58,120
at the same time, live in our dreams.

3159
02:08:58,120 --> 02:08:59,680
Like, it was amazing.

3160
02:08:59,680 --> 02:09:03,160
So those are the moments that I carry with me in that.

3161
02:09:03,160 --> 02:09:06,960
You know, they may not mean a lot to other people,

3162
02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:10,520
but to me and to Tone,

3163
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:13,080
it's gonna be something we're gonna remember forever.

3164
02:09:13,080 --> 02:09:15,280
And at the end of the day, that's what this is all about,

3165
02:09:15,280 --> 02:09:18,560
whether it's barbecue, whether it's cars,

3166
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:22,880
whether it's aviation, whatever it is,

3167
02:09:22,880 --> 02:09:24,840
man, invest your time and your effort

3168
02:09:24,840 --> 02:09:27,160
into what brings you pleasure

3169
02:09:27,160 --> 02:09:30,160
and how you're able to disassociate,

3170
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:31,920
whether it's the weekend,

3171
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:33,400
whether it's the middle of the week.

3172
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:36,200
If your day is off or Wednesday, Thursday,

3173
02:09:36,200 --> 02:09:38,640
man, find some shit that helps you

3174
02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:41,280
bring your, break your mind away from the nine to five

3175
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:43,160
from those Wednesday, Thursday nights.

3176
02:09:43,160 --> 02:09:44,920
Absolutely, man.

3177
02:09:44,920 --> 02:09:47,320
It's super important to,

3178
02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:51,520
no, that's why, I mean, I think it's without saying

3179
02:09:51,520 --> 02:09:54,120
a lot of men in general have a lot of different hobbies,

3180
02:09:54,120 --> 02:09:57,760
right, like it's nothing new, but it's,

3181
02:09:57,760 --> 02:10:00,640
I think a lot of times people are just trying to find

3182
02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:03,240
the things that they're incredibly passionate about.

3183
02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:06,080
A lot of times they'll maybe try to go down a path

3184
02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:09,040
that their friends are into and see if they're into it.

3185
02:10:09,040 --> 02:10:10,800
Not everyone's into cars.

3186
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:13,400
Everyone obviously for the most part has cars,

3187
02:10:13,400 --> 02:10:15,840
but not everyone is really into them.

3188
02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:20,600
So I think it's a super healthy way to kind of pass some time

3189
02:10:20,600 --> 02:10:23,440
and spend a lot of your energy and your time

3190
02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:24,480
into the car stuff.

3191
02:10:24,480 --> 02:10:26,160
I jumped away from it.

3192
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:27,880
I still have cool cars, you know what I mean?

3193
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:29,080
I still love them.

3194
02:10:29,080 --> 02:10:30,600
I still spend a little bit of time with them,

3195
02:10:30,600 --> 02:10:35,120
but the thing that I love so much about the barbecue

3196
02:10:35,120 --> 02:10:37,480
in comparison to the car culture stuff

3197
02:10:37,480 --> 02:10:41,680
is my family gets a little bit more enjoyment out of it too.

3198
02:10:41,680 --> 02:10:44,560
I felt like the car stuff, building the cars

3199
02:10:44,560 --> 02:10:47,160
and going to car meets and going on cruises

3200
02:10:47,160 --> 02:10:50,160
and things like that, my family would come,

3201
02:10:50,160 --> 02:10:53,000
my family would do it, my family would be a part of it,

3202
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:54,760
but they didn't enjoy it like I did.

3203
02:10:54,760 --> 02:10:55,880
You know what I mean?

3204
02:10:55,880 --> 02:10:58,720
They definitely didn't get the same bug that I had,

3205
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:02,240
but barbecue, man, they love the barbecue.

3206
02:11:02,240 --> 02:11:03,720
They love the people, you know?

3207
02:11:03,720 --> 02:11:08,720
So I've since transitioned a lot of my time and energy

3208
02:11:09,640 --> 02:11:11,920
away from the cars towards this stuff.

3209
02:11:11,920 --> 02:11:13,560
And I'd say do the same thing

3210
02:11:13,560 --> 02:11:16,000
for a lot of you guys that are in here now.

3211
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:18,320
Find a passion, drive towards it.

3212
02:11:18,320 --> 02:11:20,400
If it's something that you think is working well for you

3213
02:11:20,400 --> 02:11:23,280
and your family, then keep pursuing it.

3214
02:11:23,280 --> 02:11:24,120
Rock with it.

3215
02:11:24,120 --> 02:11:26,680
That's a great, great advice.

3216
02:11:26,680 --> 02:11:29,040
Rock with what it is that works for you.

3217
02:11:29,040 --> 02:11:30,640
You know what I mean?

3218
02:11:30,640 --> 02:11:33,280
You know, just like, you know, kind of what it is

3219
02:11:33,280 --> 02:11:35,560
that we're doing now, you know, the vehicles that I have now

3220
02:11:35,560 --> 02:11:36,880
and the stuff that I'm doing.

3221
02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:39,560
We had a show in the morning, a cool little car meet.

3222
02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:43,920
A lot of people may not know, but I'm into cars.

3223
02:11:44,840 --> 02:11:46,040
I'm into shoes.

3224
02:11:46,040 --> 02:11:47,440
I love shoes.

3225
02:11:47,440 --> 02:11:51,680
And I'm into wrist pieces.

3226
02:11:51,680 --> 02:11:53,440
I'm a big watch collector.

3227
02:11:53,440 --> 02:11:58,440
And I got invited to a really, really cool event tomorrow.

3228
02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:00,040
So, which is the reason why

3229
02:12:00,040 --> 02:12:03,520
the Ultimate Adventure got detailed today.

3230
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:06,720
So if you're in Southern California,

3231
02:12:06,720 --> 02:12:09,640
you may or may not know of Heng Wai Lee.

3232
02:12:09,640 --> 02:12:14,640
Heng Wai Lee is an amazing wrist piece watch distributor

3233
02:12:16,120 --> 02:12:19,240
in the city of industry slash Yorba Linda.

3234
02:12:19,240 --> 02:12:22,160
And he's having an event tomorrow.

3235
02:12:22,160 --> 02:12:24,200
David Lee, who's the owner,

3236
02:12:24,200 --> 02:12:29,200
has an 85 to $90 million Ferrari collection.

3237
02:12:29,520 --> 02:12:32,800
He's the number one Ferrari collector in the world.

3238
02:12:32,800 --> 02:12:35,440
So he's gonna bring out some of his pieces tomorrow.

3239
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:37,400
If you follow anything about Ferrari.

3240
02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:40,080
It's Mr. Ferrari Guy or something like that?

3241
02:12:40,080 --> 02:12:40,920
Is that who that is?

3242
02:12:40,920 --> 02:12:42,760
Yeah, David Lee, Mr. Ferrari Guy.

3243
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:44,040
Mr. Ferrari, yeah.

3244
02:12:44,040 --> 02:12:46,440
Yeah, yeah, he's frigging amazing.

3245
02:12:46,440 --> 02:12:51,240
His family has owned Heng Wai Lee since like 1965.

3246
02:12:51,240 --> 02:12:52,080
Oh, wow.

3247
02:12:52,080 --> 02:12:55,440
So when I kind of got into collecting

3248
02:12:55,440 --> 02:12:59,320
and kind of expanding my collection

3249
02:12:59,320 --> 02:13:02,320
and trying to pass my legacy on to my family,

3250
02:13:02,320 --> 02:13:06,080
I knew that that's where I wanted to go.

3251
02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:07,560
So I was very, very fortunate

3252
02:13:07,560 --> 02:13:10,320
that I was able to pick up a couple pieces from him.

3253
02:13:10,320 --> 02:13:13,240
And there's one event going on this weekend.

3254
02:13:13,240 --> 02:13:17,040
Next weekend is a special invite only,

3255
02:13:17,040 --> 02:13:20,680
but this one tomorrow in the city of industry

3256
02:13:20,680 --> 02:13:23,800
slash Yorba Linda, if you're in the area,

3257
02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:26,080
it's called Chronos and Cars.

3258
02:13:26,080 --> 02:13:28,960
It's about chronographs

3259
02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:32,160
and those type of collections of watches

3260
02:13:32,160 --> 02:13:36,000
and cars, and he's going to have a huge amount

3261
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:37,760
of his vehicles out there tomorrow.

3262
02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:41,120
So I'm excited to be a part of that.

3263
02:13:41,120 --> 02:13:42,840
It just helps me break away,

3264
02:13:44,080 --> 02:13:46,760
take my mind off of things.

3265
02:13:46,760 --> 02:13:48,800
I have some stuff I gotta film,

3266
02:13:48,800 --> 02:13:50,400
some stuff I gotta do tomorrow,

3267
02:13:50,400 --> 02:13:53,080
but you gotta find stuff,

3268
02:13:53,080 --> 02:13:56,240
you gotta find time for yourself.

3269
02:13:56,240 --> 02:14:02,240
What is it that brings you some sort of peace,

3270
02:14:02,440 --> 02:14:07,240
some sort of enjoyment?

3271
02:14:07,240 --> 02:14:09,720
Because if not, just like anything else,

3272
02:14:09,720 --> 02:14:11,800
you're gonna get burnt out.

3273
02:14:11,800 --> 02:14:13,320
If you're a project manager,

3274
02:14:13,320 --> 02:14:15,840
which kind of what I do from around nine to five,

3275
02:14:15,840 --> 02:14:19,320
and you're buried in that thing 14, 18 hours a day,

3276
02:14:19,320 --> 02:14:20,480
you're gonna get burnt out, man.

3277
02:14:20,480 --> 02:14:22,080
Find time for yourself.

3278
02:14:22,080 --> 02:14:24,320
Find time to make yourself happy.

3279
02:14:24,320 --> 02:14:27,240
There's things that my wife likes that I know she's into.

3280
02:14:27,240 --> 02:14:29,880
She loves handbags, she loves traveling,

3281
02:14:29,880 --> 02:14:31,640
she loves those types of things.

3282
02:14:31,640 --> 02:14:33,640
And I try my best to use my platform

3283
02:14:33,640 --> 02:14:37,440
and the things that I do to try to afford

3284
02:14:37,440 --> 02:14:40,800
some of the things that I know bring her pleasure, right?

3285
02:14:40,800 --> 02:14:45,360
And help her out and bring her some sense of fulfillment.

3286
02:14:45,360 --> 02:14:46,600
It's not about the money, man.

3287
02:14:46,600 --> 02:14:48,000
It's not about any of that.

3288
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:53,000
It's about trying to bring some joy to your family

3289
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:54,000
whenever that is.

3290
02:14:54,000 --> 02:14:57,680
If that joy is going to a park, going on a jog,

3291
02:14:57,680 --> 02:15:02,680
going on a run, taking the dogs out, man, find that shit.

3292
02:15:02,800 --> 02:15:04,800
Give yourself that time.

3293
02:15:04,800 --> 02:15:06,520
All of this stuff and the fact that you guys

3294
02:15:06,520 --> 02:15:09,040
have been online with us for this amount of time

3295
02:15:09,040 --> 02:15:12,040
is amazing and we can't thank you guys enough.

3296
02:15:12,040 --> 02:15:13,680
But once all of this is said and done

3297
02:15:13,680 --> 02:15:15,240
and you're away from this,

3298
02:15:15,240 --> 02:15:19,000
find something that brings you joy, no matter what it is.

3299
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:21,240
And I call it exploit.

3300
02:15:21,240 --> 02:15:24,560
Some people don't like that word, but exploit that shit.

3301
02:15:24,560 --> 02:15:28,640
Exploit those things that bring you pleasure

3302
02:15:28,640 --> 02:15:33,640
and that granted maybe doing blow all the time

3303
02:15:33,640 --> 02:15:36,600
is it something you wanna exploit, right?

3304
02:15:36,600 --> 02:15:37,440
I'm not condoning that.

3305
02:15:37,440 --> 02:15:39,280
Yeah, don't exploit that.

3306
02:15:39,280 --> 02:15:42,440
What I'm saying is if you're into jogging,

3307
02:15:42,440 --> 02:15:46,240
if you're into working out, if you're into coffee,

3308
02:15:46,240 --> 02:15:49,360
if you're into antiquing, whatever that is

3309
02:15:49,360 --> 02:15:51,960
that brings you joy, man, exploit that shit.

3310
02:15:51,960 --> 02:15:56,480
Run with that, travel, go fishing, go camping,

3311
02:15:56,480 --> 02:15:59,760
whatever it is that brings you joy,

3312
02:15:59,760 --> 02:16:03,560
spend some time doing that and bring some more fulfillment

3313
02:16:03,560 --> 02:16:05,360
because at the end of the day,

3314
02:16:05,360 --> 02:16:07,400
this shit could all be over tomorrow.

3315
02:16:07,400 --> 02:16:08,240
Yeah.

3316
02:16:08,240 --> 02:16:11,760
And you wanna be able to look back and say,

3317
02:16:11,760 --> 02:16:13,840
I did what I could when I could

3318
02:16:13,840 --> 02:16:16,560
and I did as much as I could when I could.

3319
02:16:16,560 --> 02:16:20,200
So exploit that shit, live your life.

3320
02:16:20,200 --> 02:16:24,560
Don't let the monetary stuff hold you back.

3321
02:16:24,560 --> 02:16:26,800
So many people look at us and the things that we do,

3322
02:16:26,800 --> 02:16:30,160
the places we travel, the people that we slap hands with

3323
02:16:30,160 --> 02:16:32,360
and like, well, if I had that kind of money,

3324
02:16:32,360 --> 02:16:33,760
I would do that too.

3325
02:16:33,760 --> 02:16:35,280
It's not about that, man.

3326
02:16:35,280 --> 02:16:37,040
You could go down to Walmart right now

3327
02:16:37,040 --> 02:16:41,040
and pick up a $99 Weber kettle.

3328
02:16:41,040 --> 02:16:43,080
And I promise you, I will teach you

3329
02:16:43,080 --> 02:16:45,760
and I will show you how to put out some of the best

3330
02:16:45,760 --> 02:16:48,760
grilled meat you've ever had in your life

3331
02:16:48,760 --> 02:16:52,480
that will probably surpass any restaurant you've ever had

3332
02:16:52,480 --> 02:16:54,200
or you've ever been to.

3333
02:16:54,200 --> 02:16:56,640
But spend that 99 bucks if that's what it is

3334
02:16:56,640 --> 02:16:59,360
that you wanna do, learn how to do that shit.

3335
02:16:59,360 --> 02:17:01,440
It doesn't take a lot of money.

3336
02:17:01,440 --> 02:17:04,680
Just enjoy your time and invest in what it is

3337
02:17:04,680 --> 02:17:05,920
that makes you happy.

3338
02:17:05,920 --> 02:17:09,920
It's not about my five or six or $7,000 smoker.

3339
02:17:09,920 --> 02:17:11,760
It's not about any of that shit.

3340
02:17:11,760 --> 02:17:15,320
It's about figuring out how you can do what you can do

3341
02:17:15,320 --> 02:17:17,360
what it is that you could possibly do

3342
02:17:17,360 --> 02:17:19,640
with what it is that you have to work with.

3343
02:17:19,640 --> 02:17:21,120
Absolutely, man.

3344
02:17:21,120 --> 02:17:24,320
Willie, I gotta tell you, honestly,

3345
02:17:24,320 --> 02:17:26,960
I've been looking forward to this episode

3346
02:17:26,960 --> 02:17:28,640
since I met you over at Toms.

3347
02:17:28,640 --> 02:17:29,840
Well, I didn't meet you at Toms.

3348
02:17:29,840 --> 02:17:31,760
We met at the Embers event.

3349
02:17:31,760 --> 02:17:33,640
But since hanging out with you at Toms,

3350
02:17:33,640 --> 02:17:35,880
we got to spend quite a lot of time together.

3351
02:17:35,880 --> 02:17:39,040
And I've been so looking forward to this.

3352
02:17:39,040 --> 02:17:40,720
I thought it was gonna be nothing but laughs

3353
02:17:40,720 --> 02:17:42,480
and there's nothing wrong that we didn't,

3354
02:17:42,480 --> 02:17:44,520
we weren't cracking jokes and all that.

3355
02:17:44,520 --> 02:17:49,000
It's, this has been, you're like,

3356
02:17:51,360 --> 02:17:53,040
the word, the oracle's popping in my head.

3357
02:17:53,040 --> 02:17:55,120
That's not what I wanna say though.

3358
02:17:55,120 --> 02:17:56,680
But I love the advice that you're giving.

3359
02:17:56,680 --> 02:17:59,120
I love the fact that you're focused on trying

3360
02:17:59,120 --> 02:18:01,800
to give people an amazing message.

3361
02:18:01,800 --> 02:18:03,520
I really appreciate your message.

3362
02:18:03,520 --> 02:18:05,440
I appreciate you sharing it with us.

3363
02:18:05,440 --> 02:18:07,600
I appreciate you being incredibly generous

3364
02:18:07,600 --> 02:18:09,280
with your time with me tonight too.

3365
02:18:09,280 --> 02:18:10,880
You've been here for quite some time,

3366
02:18:10,880 --> 02:18:12,560
going on two and a half hours, man.

3367
02:18:12,560 --> 02:18:13,680
It's Friday night.

3368
02:18:13,680 --> 02:18:15,280
I know you got a lot of stuff going on.

3369
02:18:15,280 --> 02:18:17,760
So thank you so much for coming by

3370
02:18:17,760 --> 02:18:20,040
and hanging out, telling your story,

3371
02:18:20,040 --> 02:18:22,520
a piece of your story, I should say.

3372
02:18:22,520 --> 02:18:25,960
And I would really love to have you back on again.

3373
02:18:25,960 --> 02:18:28,400
Obviously you got some big moves going on right now.

3374
02:18:28,400 --> 02:18:31,160
Give you some time, kind of knock out some of those,

3375
02:18:31,160 --> 02:18:34,400
you know, big ticket items that you got to knock out.

3376
02:18:34,400 --> 02:18:36,640
But man, we'll get you back on as soon as possible.

3377
02:18:36,640 --> 02:18:38,120
If you'd like to come back on,

3378
02:18:38,120 --> 02:18:39,240
we'll put you on here, brother.

3379
02:18:39,240 --> 02:18:40,760
It'd mean a lot to me.

3380
02:18:40,760 --> 02:18:41,720
Let's make it happen.

3381
02:18:41,720 --> 02:18:44,160
Thank you so very much for the opportunity.

3382
02:18:44,160 --> 02:18:45,240
Thank you.

3383
02:18:45,240 --> 02:18:47,480
And again, it's pinned.

3384
02:18:47,480 --> 02:18:49,000
For those of you guys that have been here

3385
02:18:49,000 --> 02:18:51,720
throughout this time,

3386
02:18:51,720 --> 02:18:54,760
follow Kings Me and Barbecue Supply Co.

3387
02:18:54,760 --> 02:18:57,560
I promise you we're not gonna disappoint you.

3388
02:18:57,560 --> 02:18:59,720
And thank you, Nick.

3389
02:18:59,720 --> 02:19:01,840
I really, really appreciate the time.

3390
02:19:01,840 --> 02:19:05,080
My family's here, my wife and my daughter in the back.

3391
02:19:05,080 --> 02:19:05,920
They do their best.

3392
02:19:05,920 --> 02:19:07,480
They keep quiet.

3393
02:19:07,480 --> 02:19:09,280
They'll hide out in the back room, right?

3394
02:19:09,280 --> 02:19:13,440
And thank God bless them for doing what they do.

3395
02:19:13,440 --> 02:19:15,960
Because it's a joint effort.

3396
02:19:15,960 --> 02:19:19,520
All of this, as you know, you're married,

3397
02:19:19,520 --> 02:19:22,320
you have a family, it's a joint effort.

3398
02:19:22,320 --> 02:19:24,120
Your wife does stuff behind the scenes

3399
02:19:24,120 --> 02:19:26,120
that people will never understand.

3400
02:19:26,120 --> 02:19:28,160
And the same thing with my family here,

3401
02:19:28,160 --> 02:19:31,640
up to and including something like just going live

3402
02:19:31,640 --> 02:19:33,760
for a couple of hours.

3403
02:19:33,760 --> 02:19:36,920
It takes the dedication of even my family to be like,

3404
02:19:36,920 --> 02:19:39,480
hey, we're gonna go kick out, we're gonna go kick back

3405
02:19:39,480 --> 02:19:40,760
for a few hours.

3406
02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:42,600
Dad, you do what you do.

3407
02:19:42,600 --> 02:19:44,680
And so shout out to my fan band

3408
02:19:44,680 --> 02:19:48,400
because this is not a one man show.

3409
02:19:48,400 --> 02:19:51,440
This is just as the same way I'm sure it is with you.

3410
02:19:51,440 --> 02:19:52,800
It's not a one man show.

3411
02:19:52,800 --> 02:19:56,880
There's a team behind us and there's people that support us.

3412
02:19:56,880 --> 02:19:58,480
So shout out to all them.

3413
02:19:58,480 --> 02:20:00,600
And all of you guys that think you can do it,

3414
02:20:00,600 --> 02:20:03,680
bullshit, I promise you, you can do it.

3415
02:20:03,680 --> 02:20:06,120
Pull the trigger, keep doing what it is

3416
02:20:06,120 --> 02:20:08,400
that you think that you love to do

3417
02:20:08,400 --> 02:20:11,000
and don't feed into the bullshit.

3418
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:13,280
Just do you, stay in your own lane.

3419
02:20:13,280 --> 02:20:14,960
Don't worry about the numbers,

3420
02:20:14,960 --> 02:20:16,600
don't worry about the likes,

3421
02:20:16,600 --> 02:20:18,440
don't worry about the follows.

3422
02:20:18,440 --> 02:20:21,800
At the end of the day, do what's fulfilling to you.

3423
02:20:21,800 --> 02:20:24,240
If you put out a dope ass video

3424
02:20:24,240 --> 02:20:26,560
and four people watch that bitch,

3425
02:20:26,560 --> 02:20:28,280
but at the end of the day, you had a really,

3426
02:20:28,280 --> 02:20:32,080
really good time and you had a dope ass meal with family,

3427
02:20:32,080 --> 02:20:34,800
that is money and time well spent.

3428
02:20:34,800 --> 02:20:36,480
And four other people watched it

3429
02:20:36,480 --> 02:20:38,600
and rode along that ride with you.

3430
02:20:38,600 --> 02:20:41,840
And eventually that's gonna turn into 400,000

3431
02:20:41,840 --> 02:20:44,720
or 4 million people that are gonna watch

3432
02:20:44,720 --> 02:20:46,720
and they're gonna go on that ride with you

3433
02:20:46,720 --> 02:20:50,240
and they're gonna remember when you only had four viewers.

3434
02:20:50,240 --> 02:20:52,600
So keep doing what it is that you do.

3435
02:20:52,600 --> 02:20:56,000
Don't believe the hype, don't buy into the bullshit,

3436
02:20:56,000 --> 02:20:58,360
believe in yourself and do what's right for you.

3437
02:20:58,360 --> 02:20:59,200
Absolutely, man.

3438
02:20:59,200 --> 02:21:02,200
Well, again, thank you for your time.

3439
02:21:02,200 --> 02:21:03,760
Make sure you extend that thank you

3440
02:21:03,760 --> 02:21:05,320
to your wife and me as well.

3441
02:21:05,320 --> 02:21:07,400
Giving you this time to come out here

3442
02:21:07,400 --> 02:21:11,480
and put this on and keeping the whole household quiet for you.

3443
02:21:11,480 --> 02:21:12,960
I know how that goes.

3444
02:21:12,960 --> 02:21:15,000
Tone just joined right now.

3445
02:21:15,000 --> 02:21:15,840
I will.

3446
02:21:15,840 --> 02:21:16,660
Tone, you're late, man.

3447
02:21:16,660 --> 02:21:17,500
I'm sorry, brother.

3448
02:21:17,500 --> 02:21:21,160
You missed out on a ton of flowers, sent your way.

3449
02:21:21,160 --> 02:21:22,480
We all love you, brother.

3450
02:21:23,360 --> 02:21:25,380
Willie had the best things to say about you,

3451
02:21:25,380 --> 02:21:27,800
as did I, as did Heatstroke.

3452
02:21:27,800 --> 02:21:30,480
Man, it already goes without saying, man.

3453
02:21:30,480 --> 02:21:33,720
You're such a pivotal person for all of us.

3454
02:21:33,720 --> 02:21:36,760
Someone that we all look up to, someone that we all adore

3455
02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:39,480
and just wholeheartedly appreciate.

3456
02:21:39,480 --> 02:21:41,880
So thanks for coming in and rocking out

3457
02:21:41,880 --> 02:21:43,440
and checking out what we're doing now.

3458
02:21:43,440 --> 02:21:45,560
We're getting ready to sign off right now.

3459
02:21:45,560 --> 02:21:46,880
For sure.

3460
02:21:46,880 --> 02:21:48,200
I hope you all have a great weekend.

3461
02:21:48,200 --> 02:21:50,120
Let me give Tone one more time.

3462
02:21:50,120 --> 02:21:53,120
TFTI BBQ, let me give him his flowers.

3463
02:21:53,120 --> 02:21:56,200
That man right there, he's amazing.

3464
02:21:57,200 --> 02:21:59,360
He reached out to me early on and was like,

3465
02:21:59,360 --> 02:22:03,800
hey, we shared a lot of very, very deep,

3466
02:22:03,800 --> 02:22:08,440
in-depth conversations about the business side of this

3467
02:22:08,440 --> 02:22:11,360
that not a lot of people share with each other.

3468
02:22:11,360 --> 02:22:13,600
And I was like, hey, yo, listen,

3469
02:22:13,600 --> 02:22:16,760
my personal opinion, you need to do X, Y, and Z.

3470
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:21,360
When I purchased The Ultimate Adventure,

3471
02:22:21,360 --> 02:22:23,480
he reached out to me and he was like,

3472
02:22:23,480 --> 02:22:28,380
yo, you inspired me to do something.

3473
02:22:28,380 --> 02:22:30,760
And just hearing that was like,

3474
02:22:30,760 --> 02:22:34,560
it was almost like an out-of-body experience, right?

3475
02:22:34,560 --> 02:22:37,720
Because I love him and respect Tone so much.

3476
02:22:38,720 --> 02:22:41,760
And he wound up buying his dream truck,

3477
02:22:41,760 --> 02:22:43,560
which is a TRX, right?

3478
02:22:43,560 --> 02:22:46,080
It is gorgeous.

3479
02:22:46,080 --> 02:22:46,920
Yeah, dude.

3480
02:22:46,920 --> 02:22:50,440
It's a beast, but he wound up doing it.

3481
02:22:50,440 --> 02:22:54,500
And it doesn't matter what level you're on, quote unquote.

3482
02:22:54,500 --> 02:22:56,320
There's no levels in this shit.

3483
02:22:56,320 --> 02:23:00,120
You can have 19 followers and inspire somebody else

3484
02:23:00,120 --> 02:23:04,240
who has 19 million followers to pursue their dream.

3485
02:23:04,240 --> 02:23:06,680
So never forget that shit

3486
02:23:06,680 --> 02:23:09,280
and never forget the power that you have,

3487
02:23:09,280 --> 02:23:11,560
no matter how many followers you have.

3488
02:23:11,560 --> 02:23:14,080
And shout out to Tone for always believing me

3489
02:23:14,080 --> 02:23:15,760
in everything that is that I do,

3490
02:23:15,760 --> 02:23:17,200
popping his head in.

3491
02:23:17,200 --> 02:23:18,680
And shout out to you, brother.

3492
02:23:18,680 --> 02:23:20,640
Thank you for everything that you're doing.

3493
02:23:20,640 --> 02:23:24,840
Thank you for continuing this, to build this community

3494
02:23:24,840 --> 02:23:27,280
because it's something that we need.

3495
02:23:27,280 --> 02:23:30,040
You know, there might only be sometimes 10, 20, 30,

3496
02:23:30,040 --> 02:23:31,680
40 followers, right?

3497
02:23:31,680 --> 02:23:34,520
But when we save these things for our platform,

3498
02:23:34,520 --> 02:23:38,140
hundreds and thousands of other people are gonna see it.

3499
02:23:38,140 --> 02:23:43,080
And I pray that just one person is inspired by our stories

3500
02:23:43,080 --> 02:23:46,000
and be like, yo, I'm gonna keep posting this shit

3501
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:47,560
and I'm gonna live my dream.

3502
02:23:47,560 --> 02:23:50,000
And maybe I'm on something like this

3503
02:23:50,000 --> 02:23:52,720
and I'm able to share this with my family.

3504
02:23:52,720 --> 02:23:56,240
And this one definitely, this episode right here

3505
02:23:56,240 --> 02:23:58,800
with you on it, it's definitely gonna stick with me

3506
02:23:58,800 --> 02:24:00,280
for a long time.

3507
02:24:00,280 --> 02:24:04,040
Hands down, my favorite episode I've ever done so far.

3508
02:24:04,040 --> 02:24:08,220
The most insightful, the most helpful, the most encouraging.

3509
02:24:09,200 --> 02:24:12,320
Oftentimes we do a lot of just shooting the shit

3510
02:24:12,320 --> 02:24:14,920
and making sure that people kind of get to know the guy

3511
02:24:14,920 --> 02:24:18,720
behind the username, the screen name, what have you, right?

3512
02:24:18,720 --> 02:24:22,360
But in this case, man, you took your opportunity

3513
02:24:22,360 --> 02:24:27,280
while we were here together to influence and encourage

3514
02:24:27,280 --> 02:24:32,080
and truly be community first, man.

3515
02:24:32,080 --> 02:24:35,440
We expected to share some laughs, we shared some tears.

3516
02:24:35,440 --> 02:24:39,440
And that shit fucking, I hold that shit near and dear.

3517
02:24:39,440 --> 02:24:42,560
It means the absolute world to me that you came on.

3518
02:24:42,560 --> 02:24:44,120
Had a blast, brother, can't wait

3519
02:24:44,120 --> 02:24:46,360
till we get to hang out again, my man.

3520
02:24:46,360 --> 02:24:48,580
Everybody that's here, if you're still in here right now,

3521
02:24:48,580 --> 02:24:50,440
I know there's not too many people left,

3522
02:24:50,440 --> 02:24:53,920
but at King's Meat and Barbecue Supply Co,

3523
02:24:53,920 --> 02:24:56,020
a ton of amazing things are coming.

3524
02:24:56,020 --> 02:24:58,280
I can't wait to see it all unfold.

3525
02:24:58,280 --> 02:25:01,320
There's no doubt about it that this is gonna turn out

3526
02:25:01,320 --> 02:25:04,420
to be the next biggest thing in barbecue.

3527
02:25:04,420 --> 02:25:08,880
So I can't wait to see you guys just put on and shine

3528
02:25:08,880 --> 02:25:12,120
and make your families proud, make us all proud

3529
02:25:12,120 --> 02:25:13,740
and keep doing what you're doing, my brother,

3530
02:25:13,740 --> 02:25:15,840
because I said it at the top of the show

3531
02:25:15,840 --> 02:25:17,840
and I'm gonna finish off the show with this.

3532
02:25:17,840 --> 02:25:22,260
You are everybody's favorite barbecuer's favorite barbecuer.

3533
02:25:22,260 --> 02:25:24,000
So you keep rocking it, brother.

3534
02:25:24,000 --> 02:25:26,200
Keep that energy, keep doing what you're doing, man.

3535
02:25:26,200 --> 02:25:27,360
Absolutely love you, man.

3536
02:25:27,360 --> 02:25:30,520
Thank you so kindly for coming on and sharing some time

3537
02:25:30,520 --> 02:25:34,360
and sharing your stories and telling us to keep on

3538
02:25:34,360 --> 02:25:37,640
keeping on, man, because a lot of times

3539
02:25:37,640 --> 02:25:39,520
that's all somebody needs to hear.

3540
02:25:39,520 --> 02:25:40,360
So thank you.

3541
02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:42,840
I love you, man.

3542
02:25:42,840 --> 02:25:44,160
Thank you so very much.

3543
02:25:44,160 --> 02:25:45,680
Tone's still in the house talking about

3544
02:25:45,680 --> 02:25:47,720
he's gonna be there at our grand opening.

3545
02:25:47,720 --> 02:25:51,040
There's so many of you guys that I want to be there.

3546
02:25:51,040 --> 02:25:53,940
It's gonna be a grind.

3547
02:25:53,940 --> 02:25:57,620
It's a bit of a process, but it's gonna be something that,

3548
02:25:59,680 --> 02:26:01,640
shout out to Jeremiah from Kings Brewery.

3549
02:26:01,640 --> 02:26:05,320
He's been telling me for years, believe in yourself,

3550
02:26:05,320 --> 02:26:09,080
believe in your brand, build your brand,

3551
02:26:09,080 --> 02:26:11,120
invest in your brand.

3552
02:26:11,120 --> 02:26:13,320
And we've been doing this for so many years,

3553
02:26:13,320 --> 02:26:16,100
building other people's brands,

3554
02:26:16,100 --> 02:26:20,680
which is why one of the many reasons why I respect

3555
02:26:20,680 --> 02:26:25,680
what it is that you do, Nick, is you have a brand,

3556
02:26:25,920 --> 02:26:29,320
you're inviting other people along that ride,

3557
02:26:29,320 --> 02:26:32,300
and you're building yourself up something

3558
02:26:32,300 --> 02:26:36,080
that is exclusive to you, but also bringing

3559
02:26:36,080 --> 02:26:38,040
other people along the way.

3560
02:26:38,040 --> 02:26:42,680
So congratulations for the continued success.

3561
02:26:42,680 --> 02:26:46,800
Please, anything I can possibly do to help out,

3562
02:26:46,800 --> 02:26:48,440
you already know I got you.

3563
02:26:48,440 --> 02:26:50,160
Tag me and everything.

3564
02:26:50,160 --> 02:26:53,320
Call me out if I'm a dick and I don't repost something.

3565
02:26:53,320 --> 02:26:55,160
You got my personal number.

3566
02:26:55,160 --> 02:26:57,120
I'm human just like everybody else.

3567
02:26:57,120 --> 02:27:02,120
I miss a lot of things, but please continue on that journey.

3568
02:27:02,320 --> 02:27:05,460
Fight the good fight and bring everybody along the way,

3569
02:27:05,460 --> 02:27:08,680
because there's somebody out there that's,

3570
02:27:08,680 --> 02:27:11,360
including myself, that's looking up to you going,

3571
02:27:11,360 --> 02:27:13,600
hey, I wonder if I can do this one day.

3572
02:27:13,600 --> 02:27:15,840
And they're gonna do it, and they're gonna remember

3573
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:16,920
that pivotal moment.

3574
02:27:16,920 --> 02:27:19,820
So let's continue to raise the bar.

3575
02:27:19,820 --> 02:27:21,800
Let's continue to reach our hands out

3576
02:27:21,800 --> 02:27:23,920
and bring people up with us

3577
02:27:23,920 --> 02:27:26,740
and help them recognize their potential

3578
02:27:26,740 --> 02:27:30,200
and that this isn't just for the big dogs.

3579
02:27:30,200 --> 02:27:31,800
You're a big dog too.

3580
02:27:31,800 --> 02:27:33,200
Do that shit, make it happen.

3581
02:27:33,200 --> 02:27:34,680
Thank you, man, appreciate it.

3582
02:27:34,680 --> 02:27:36,840
Thank you so much for the kind words, man.

3583
02:27:36,840 --> 02:27:39,600
You guys all that came in here and joined in,

3584
02:27:39,600 --> 02:27:43,160
hung out from top to end, even those of you

3585
02:27:43,160 --> 02:27:44,280

3586
02:27:44,280 --> 02:27:46,360
thank you for stopping in and checking us out.

3587
02:27:46,360 --> 02:27:47,580
We love you guys.

3588
02:27:47,580 --> 02:27:48,560
Big unk from the nephew.

3589
02:27:48,560 --> 02:27:50,800
We'll be back again next Friday.

3590
02:27:50,800 --> 02:27:51,640
Love you guys.

3591
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:53,840
Cheers, brother.

3592
02:27:53,840 --> 02:28:12,840
Cheers.
