Welcome to the second hour of the show.

19
00:01:04,417 --> 00:01:06,491
It's the Barbecue Central show where we talk

20
00:01:06,491 --> 00:01:08,724
about an important barbecue and grilling items that

21
00:01:08,724 --> 00:01:09,840
you didn't even know were important.

22
00:01:11,757 --> 00:01:12,946
I meant to do this in the first

23
00:01:12,946 --> 00:01:13,104
hour.

24
00:01:15,402 --> 00:01:15,798
Boing.

25
00:01:20,996 --> 00:01:21,795
I deal with that.

26
00:01:23,153 --> 00:01:23,973
Hit me

27
00:01:25,071 --> 00:01:25,471
Standby.

00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,198
There it is.

00:01:32,177 --> 00:01:32,416
Yep.

30
00:01:35,936 --> 00:01:36,335
Hello?

31
00:01:39,606 --> 00:01:40,644
Could remember where I put that.

32
00:01:42,653 --> 00:01:45,221
Wanna thank Medic correspondent from Tennessee,

33
00:01:45,994 --> 00:01:46,812
Matt Os

34
00:01:48,222 --> 00:01:48,722
for

35
00:01:49,813 --> 00:01:52,616
this birthday gift. Don't know if you're familiar

36
00:01:52,616 --> 00:01:53,276
with this

37
00:01:53,654 --> 00:01:54,154
particular

38
00:01:54,851 --> 00:01:56,468
rub or not, but it's called

39
00:01:58,362 --> 00:01:58,862
mommy.

40
00:01:59,655 --> 00:02:01,575
And there's is a picture of, I guess,

41
00:02:02,135 --> 00:02:03,255
she... That a witch?

42
00:02:04,295 --> 00:02:04,775
I don't know.

43
00:02:06,135 --> 00:02:06,909
All purpose

44
00:02:07,267 --> 00:02:09,964
all flavor. And then as we turn it

45
00:02:09,964 --> 00:02:10,917
around on the back,

46
00:02:11,551 --> 00:02:12,765
made with only

47
00:02:13,297 --> 00:02:14,114
the freshest

48
00:02:14,504 --> 00:02:16,682
Florida grown, shit take mushrooms.

49
00:02:17,540 --> 00:02:20,177
Umami rub is a bold and savory,

50
00:02:20,576 --> 00:02:21,795
flavor explosion

51
00:02:22,109 --> 00:02:25,131
that will amplify any meal from scramble eggs,

52
00:02:25,688 --> 00:02:27,222
to competition barbecue,

53
00:02:27,676 --> 00:02:29,585
sure to fire up the taste buds. Oh

54
00:02:29,585 --> 00:02:30,063
mommy.

55
00:02:30,794 --> 00:02:33,055
Can be used as a stand alone seasoning

56
00:02:33,275 --> 00:02:34,175
as a finish

57
00:02:34,715 --> 00:02:36,794
when your food needs that extra punch or

58
00:02:36,794 --> 00:02:38,574
layered with other fine seasonings.

59
00:02:40,489 --> 00:02:41,789
I put it on eggs

60
00:02:42,090 --> 00:02:44,030
this morning, and I can tell you

61
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:45,150
delicious.

62
00:02:48,896 --> 00:02:50,486
I'm not sure exactly where you get this,

63
00:02:51,997 --> 00:02:52,815
but the

64
00:02:53,508 --> 00:02:54,485
Instagram is

65
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:57,166
Umami Rub, all 1 word.

66
00:02:57,975 --> 00:03:01,542
Double 0HMAMIRUB,

67
00:03:01,701 --> 00:03:02,573
or mommy Rub.

68
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:06,163
So thank you to Matt. For doing that

69
00:03:06,163 --> 00:03:08,641
med also pitched in on some premium hand

70
00:03:08,641 --> 00:03:09,440
rolled cigars.

71
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:12,477
I certainly appreciate, but then came all by

72
00:03:12,477 --> 00:03:14,849
his lone on the Obama. So I have

73
00:03:15,049 --> 00:03:16,728
that 1 that I'm showing you on unopened

74
00:03:16,728 --> 00:03:18,187
and then there's 1 upstairs

75
00:03:18,646 --> 00:03:19,865
that I have been

76
00:03:20,244 --> 00:03:22,642
using over the top of things that I

77
00:03:22,642 --> 00:03:24,480
think might need an umami kick.

78
00:03:25,133 --> 00:03:26,806
Still come in the show. This evening. Our

79
00:03:26,806 --> 00:03:27,944

grid market will remain a hot 1 for

91

consumers

you believe it is.

We'll check that through the rest of the

97
00:04:10,389 --> 00:04:12,469
show here. This evening. We'll get smoking and

98
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:13,370
Joe's pit

99
00:04:13,924 --> 00:04:14,424
barbecue

100
00:04:15,202 --> 00:04:17,200
insights on that in just a few short

101
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,677
moments coming up. The best moments of Barbecue

102
00:04:19,757 --> 00:04:21,435
Central show and 10 minutes or less is

103
00:04:21,435 --> 00:04:23,357
coming Friday. We take you back to June

104
00:04:23,357 --> 00:04:25,024
20 ninth of 20 10.

105
00:04:25,739 --> 00:04:26,295
This week,

106
00:04:27,168 --> 00:04:29,685
we feature what was supposed to be a

107
00:04:29,804 --> 00:04:32,197
segment with Derek Riches, but instead,

108
00:04:33,074 --> 00:04:34,292
we got a colon

109
00:04:35,228 --> 00:04:38,179
from barbecue legend barbecue hall of Fame Melissa

110
00:04:38,338 --> 00:04:38,817
Cooks.

111
00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:42,267
I don't know why Derek missed the show.

112
00:04:42,506 --> 00:04:44,744
That was a long time ago, 15 years

113
00:04:44,744 --> 00:04:46,981
ago, more than 15 years ago now.

114
00:04:48,911 --> 00:04:49,411
But

115
00:04:49,944 --> 00:04:52,408
Bliss was listening to the show that evening.

116
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,429
She lives a call to the show to

117
00:04:55,429 --> 00:04:57,098
fill the gap, but not only that.

118
00:04:57,750 --> 00:05:01,750
We talk about everyone's favorite live fire host,

119
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:05,430
a guy who I nicknamed Dude Douche.

120
00:05:06,164 --> 00:05:09,461
Kevin Roberts was talked about after his disastrous

121
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,819
today show appearance

122
00:05:11,438 --> 00:05:14,475
where he talked about par boiling ribs.

123
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:16,085
I know it's crazy,

124
00:05:16,803 --> 00:05:18,477
but he actually did it. And he did

125
00:05:18,477 --> 00:05:19,296
it very

126
00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:22,704
staunch, very convicted.

127
00:05:24,392 --> 00:05:25,427
Almost ind,

128
00:05:25,984 --> 00:05:28,691
and it was days away before I think

129
00:05:28,691 --> 00:05:31,158
what ended up being season 2. So this

130
00:05:31,158 --> 00:05:33,189
would have been the first year that Barbecue

131
00:05:33,248 --> 00:05:34,707
pit masters went from

132
00:05:36,125 --> 00:05:36,625
the

133
00:05:37,244 --> 00:05:40,600
reality show of following teams around to the

134
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,100
games

135
00:05:41,574 --> 00:05:42,074
show

136
00:05:43,090 --> 00:05:45,723
that it morph into and remained as.

137
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:48,595
So here he is on the today show.

138
00:05:49,884 --> 00:05:52,850
Mustard is a binder, blah bye, and then

139
00:05:54,339 --> 00:05:55,396
talking about

140
00:05:55,851 --> 00:05:56,965
par boiling ribs.

141
00:05:58,094 --> 00:05:59,373
It blew up the Internet.

142
00:06:00,491 --> 00:06:01,131
Everybody's like.

143
00:06:02,089 --> 00:06:03,208
Who's this? Well,

144
00:06:04,247 --> 00:06:05,546
it blew up the barbecue

145
00:06:05,925 --> 00:06:08,177
Internet. How can this guy be the host?

146
00:06:08,417 --> 00:06:09,716
He's talking about

147
00:06:10,174 --> 00:06:13,770
power boiling ribs, No self respecting barbecue order.

148
00:06:14,024 --> 00:06:17,699
You're boiling out the flavor and this and

149
00:06:17,699 --> 00:06:18,019
that.

150
00:06:18,818 --> 00:06:19,377
No doubt.

151
00:06:21,228 --> 00:06:22,975
I asked John Mark is how could you

152
00:06:22,975 --> 00:06:24,428
possibly have a host

153
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,867
that's talking such a nonsense man.

154
00:06:27,820 --> 00:06:28,876
He took issue

155
00:06:29,504 --> 00:06:31,183
Kevin Robert took issue.

156
00:06:32,062 --> 00:06:34,619
Started blasting back, and that's when he earned

157
00:06:34,619 --> 00:06:37,277
the nickname Do Douche, which she now

158
00:06:37,736 --> 00:06:38,215
wears.

159
00:06:39,349 --> 00:06:40,785
To this day, I'm the show whether he

160
00:06:40,785 --> 00:06:42,460
knows it or not. Probably doesn't even remember

161
00:06:42,460 --> 00:06:44,374
being a guest on the show. Now, to

162
00:06:44,374 --> 00:06:46,368
his credit, he came on the show, I

163
00:06:46,368 --> 00:06:48,521
immediately asked him about it, really pinned them

164
00:06:48,521 --> 00:06:50,366
down. And he said, yeah. I was still.

165
00:06:50,525 --> 00:06:51,796
But I I said that. I shouldn't have

166
00:06:51,796 --> 00:06:51,954
said.

167
00:06:54,735 --> 00:06:56,085
You know, I looked back on the show,

168
00:06:56,323 --> 00:06:58,627
and after hearing this particular segment because I

169
00:06:58,627 --> 00:06:59,596
preview everything.

170
00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:01,742
That John put together. I'm here to tell

171
00:07:01,742 --> 00:07:03,570
you. It was a different show back then.

172
00:07:03,808 --> 00:07:06,590
In many ways, in many respects, different sound,

173
00:07:06,829 --> 00:07:09,945
different hosting ability, We had live phone calls.

174
00:07:11,694 --> 00:07:12,512
Way more

175
00:07:13,126 --> 00:07:14,262
attentive to covering

176
00:07:14,717 --> 00:07:17,276
competition barbecue. It was different than. I'm not

177
00:07:17,276 --> 00:07:18,309
saying it was better than.

178
00:07:19,658 --> 00:07:21,326
Not saying it was bad then. I'm just

179
00:07:21,326 --> 00:07:23,788
saying it was different. The show has evolved

180
00:07:23,788 --> 00:07:25,376
and it's hearing shows like that.

181
00:07:26,504 --> 00:07:28,817
Where I'm like, man, we should reinstall the

182
00:07:28,817 --> 00:07:31,130
phone line just in case, and then I

183
00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:33,602
think better that. You can subscribe to the

00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,526

now we're all caught up.

239
00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:47,507
What do we love about ceramic cooker do

240
00:09:47,507 --> 00:09:47,907
fools?

241
00:09:48,706 --> 00:09:50,318
We love that their fuel fish We love

242
00:09:50,318 --> 00:09:52,150
that you can achieve low and slow temperatures

243
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:53,504
for traditional barbecue meat.

244
00:09:54,459 --> 00:09:56,211
We love that you get rip roaring hot

245
00:09:56,211 --> 00:09:58,601
for the high temperature of grilling and steak

246
00:09:58,601 --> 00:09:58,894
can

247
00:09:59,967 --> 00:10:02,191
For the high temperature grilling of steaks and

248
00:10:02,191 --> 00:10:04,416
other than cuts what's missing in the everyday

249
00:10:04,416 --> 00:10:05,766
ceramic cooker lineup.

250
00:10:06,733 --> 00:10:09,666
The real ability to do true 2 zone

251
00:10:09,666 --> 00:10:12,440
cooking. 2 zone cooking is very important to

252
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,761
both professionals and backyard cooks to like, it's

253
00:10:14,761 --> 00:10:16,357
the best way to manage a fire and

254
00:10:16,357 --> 00:10:17,714
cooked with confidence. We all know this.

255
00:10:18,512 --> 00:10:21,225
However, getting a 2 zones fire and rounds

256
00:10:21,225 --> 00:10:23,150
3 threat a cooker isn't very realistic why

257
00:10:23,150 --> 00:10:23,866
because it's rounded.

258
00:10:24,742 --> 00:10:26,970
And her P grill, the game changing oval

259
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:28,561
design to shape gives you the ability to

260
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:30,630
execute that 2 zone setup that you desire

261
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,712
and It also gives you the other ceramic

262
00:10:32,712 --> 00:10:34,620
grill benefits as well. Really.

263
00:10:35,415 --> 00:10:37,005
When you break it down, there's more than

264
00:10:37,005 --> 00:10:39,170
60 different ways to configure the of cooker,

265
00:10:39,330 --> 00:10:41,190
so you're only limited by your culinary

266
00:10:41,809 --> 00:10:41,970
imagination.

267
00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:44,950
Made right here in America,

268
00:10:45,730 --> 00:10:48,853
dream in the southern portion of Illinois,

269
00:10:52,359 --> 00:10:54,850
only sold through dealers, p grill dot com

270
00:10:54,850 --> 00:10:56,690
and then go to the dealer locator to

271
00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:58,209
find 1 near you and then visit them

272
00:10:58,209 --> 00:10:58,690
in person.

273
00:10:59,649 --> 00:11:02,217
Play and touch in all of the different

274
00:11:02,217 --> 00:11:04,445
oval on the showroom floor and then take

275
00:11:04,445 --> 00:11:06,195
home the 1 that's best fitting your needs.

276
00:11:07,626 --> 00:11:09,559
Remember mug I pay a little bit more

277
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,240
upfront with some of the other competing products.

278
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,399
But again, you are getting something that's gonna

279
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:14,360
last the lifetime.

280
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,650
Don't be intimidated, thinking that if gonna be

281
00:11:17,650 --> 00:11:19,714
so hard to use and fire up or

282
00:11:19,714 --> 00:11:20,111
whatever.

283
00:11:21,699 --> 00:11:24,319
We should always go down to boiler plate

284
00:11:24,319 --> 00:11:27,200
and what's boiler plate meat? I'm the biggest

285
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,639
idiot on the face of the earth.

286
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,519
The good news is this. If I could

287
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:33,679
cook on something so can you. I could

288
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,879
put something together.

289
00:11:35,454 --> 00:11:36,253
So can you?

290
00:11:37,451 --> 00:11:38,970
This is boiler play stuff.

291
00:11:40,887 --> 00:11:43,019
I can cook very well on the p

292
00:11:43,859 --> 00:11:46,276
In fact, I enjoyed a lot in.

293
00:11:47,614 --> 00:11:50,091
I'm gonna be cooking a number of slabs

294
00:11:50,091 --> 00:11:51,390
of ribs on

295
00:11:51,704 --> 00:11:53,137
the P this coming Saturday.

296
00:11:53,615 --> 00:11:56,481
Also gonna be potentially mixing in a trader.

297
00:11:57,516 --> 00:11:58,870
I know shocking for me to say.

298
00:12:00,477 --> 00:12:02,466
But the p is gonna be handling the

299
00:12:02,466 --> 00:12:03,898
brunt of the work might mix in a

300
00:12:03,898 --> 00:12:05,035
little fire board

301
00:12:05,490 --> 00:12:07,740
drive with that as well just for s

302
00:12:07,797 --> 00:12:08,354
and giggles.

303
00:12:10,517 --> 00:12:12,266
And when it's all said done,

304
00:12:13,061 --> 00:12:15,048
I'm gonna be able to close the top

305
00:12:15,048 --> 00:12:18,107
vent and close the bottom event. I guarantee.

306
00:12:18,721 --> 00:12:20,415
I have enough fuel left

307
00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:23,177
for a barbecue chicken coke if I want,

308
00:12:23,814 --> 00:12:24,664
or I can do a lot

309
00:12:25,423 --> 00:12:27,100
high heat event if I want, like a

310
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:28,776
big steak cook or maybe I'm gonna do

311
00:12:28,776 --> 00:12:30,213
burgers, stuff like that.

312
00:12:31,650 --> 00:12:34,306
The p is a fuel mis.

313
00:12:35,812 --> 00:12:37,244

accessories.

330
00:13:22,445 --> 00:13:24,047
Cooker it doesn't matter.

331
00:13:24,603 --> 00:13:27,302
If you're a beginner or a professional, it's

332
00:13:27,302 --> 00:13:28,810
just a cooker you wanna add to the

333
00:13:28,810 --> 00:13:30,874
arsenal and there's no arguing about that.

334
00:13:31,603 --> 00:13:33,592
You go to pit barrel cook dot com

335
00:13:33,592 --> 00:13:35,501
and tell them the barbecue Central show sent

336
00:13:35,501 --> 00:13:37,092

there?

338
00:13:38,940 --> 00:13:40,379
Joining me in the second hour is the

339
00:13:40,379 --> 00:13:41,839
guy who was our pa

340
00:13:42,459 --> 00:13:45,259
subject back in 20 23, we followed him.

341
00:13:45,754 --> 00:13:47,825
As he launched his food truck in El

342
00:13:47,825 --> 00:13:51,330
paso, Texas garnered Rave reviews from customers.

343
00:13:52,047 --> 00:13:54,777
Got some pub from Texas monthly barbecue editor

344
00:13:55,089 --> 00:13:57,312
Daniel Vaughn, then in March, he closed.

345
00:13:58,186 --> 00:13:59,775
But then he opened again a few weeks

346
00:13:59,775 --> 00:14:02,396
later and then 4 months later, he's closed

347
00:14:02,396 --> 00:14:02,793
for good.

348
00:14:03,682 --> 00:14:05,272
Confused as I am, of course.

349
00:14:05,829 --> 00:14:09,248
So let's t through the past handful of

350
00:14:09,248 --> 00:14:11,793
months and see what has brought us to

351
00:14:11,793 --> 00:14:14,756
the stage as we Welcome back our pal

352
00:14:14,756 --> 00:14:16,911
and the, I guess, former owner of smoking

353
00:14:16,911 --> 00:14:18,028
and Joe's pit barbecue.

354
00:14:18,667 --> 00:14:21,162
Joe Martinez, Joe before we jump into the

355
00:14:22,034 --> 00:14:23,653
Shenanigans and Tom Fu

356
00:14:24,111 --> 00:14:26,029
of what's going on with you. We have

357
00:14:26,029 --> 00:14:28,506
a most important Youtube poll question of the

358
00:14:28,506 --> 00:14:30,838
week that we're asking everybody, which is this,

359
00:14:31,237 --> 00:14:33,712
you think the grid market will remain a

360
00:14:33,712 --> 00:14:36,426
hot 1 for consumers, the balance of 20

361
00:14:36,426 --> 00:14:37,942
24, yes or no.

362
00:14:40,429 --> 00:14:42,181
Part of the 27 percent, I'm gonna say

363
00:14:42,181 --> 00:14:43,159
no. No

364
00:14:43,774 --> 00:14:45,129
Yeah. 27

365
00:14:45,129 --> 00:14:47,916
percent saying no, 73 percent saying yes.

366
00:14:48,489 --> 00:14:49,919
And we'll see how that plays out here

367
00:14:49,919 --> 00:14:51,269
through the rest of the evening.

368
00:14:52,540 --> 00:14:53,970
Alright, Joe. So here we are.

369
00:14:55,812 --> 00:14:59,387
June sixteenth of 20 24, and it seems

370
00:14:59,387 --> 00:15:02,644
like only a year ago. We were talking

371
00:15:02,644 --> 00:15:03,780
about what the

372
00:15:04,408 --> 00:15:07,433
next handful of months was like a smoking

373
00:15:07,513 --> 00:15:09,286
Joe's pit barbecue was probably

374
00:15:09,821 --> 00:15:12,543
really hitting its stride at this point. For

375
00:15:12,543 --> 00:15:14,455
the folks who don't recall, you had been

376
00:15:14,455 --> 00:15:16,844
launched out. Before we started in January, you

377
00:15:16,844 --> 00:15:18,198
had been doing, it was it for, like,

378
00:15:18,357 --> 00:15:19,950
4 or 5 or 6 months or something

379
00:15:19,950 --> 00:15:22,279
like that. So it wasn't a true track

380
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:24,700
of real time, but we were able to

381
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,000
get everything kinda caught up within those first

382
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,053
couple interviews to be able to end more

383
00:15:30,053 --> 00:15:31,571
in real time reporting. So,

384
00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:34,768
let's look back before we talk,

385
00:15:35,647 --> 00:15:37,086
never mind that. We'll do that here in

386
00:15:37,086 --> 00:15:37,565
a second.

387
00:15:38,698 --> 00:15:39,656
Joe, what happened?

388
00:15:40,215 --> 00:15:41,013
You made a post,

389
00:15:41,731 --> 00:15:42,849
closed for good.

390
00:15:43,487 --> 00:15:45,881
A, are we really closed for good? And

391
00:15:45,881 --> 00:15:46,360
if so,

392
00:15:46,933 --> 00:15:49,324
why are we really closed for good this

393
00:15:49,324 --> 00:15:49,723
time around?

394
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:52,114
Yeah. So the first part of your question,

395
00:15:52,273 --> 00:15:53,389
yeah, I'm I'm closed for good.

396
00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:56,278
There's no going back. You know,

397
00:15:57,236 --> 00:15:58,775
I I reopen it, try to,

398
00:15:59,234 --> 00:16:00,753
you know, revamp it see if it gets

399
00:16:00,753 --> 00:16:02,910
some energy and traction and it just never

400
00:16:02,910 --> 00:16:03,230
happened.

401
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,983
So definitely not not gonna open up. And,

402
00:16:08,175 --> 00:16:08,414
again,

403
00:16:09,844 --> 00:16:11,911
you know, even though it it hurts me,

404
00:16:12,070 --> 00:16:14,389
you know, to to say that, It's just

405
00:16:14,389 --> 00:16:16,135
it's the best thing for my business. You

406
00:16:16,135 --> 00:16:19,256
know, it just wasn't generating the revenue that

407
00:16:20,185 --> 00:16:22,906
I need you know, to to survive and

408
00:16:22,906 --> 00:16:23,406
and,

409
00:16:23,862 --> 00:16:25,774
you know, weigh my options and and where

410
00:16:25,933 --> 00:16:27,686
I was at before. It's just better to

411
00:16:27,686 --> 00:16:29,279
to close it down and and move on

412
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:31,999
and, you know, learn from from your mistakes

413
00:16:31,999 --> 00:16:32,476
if you will.

414
00:16:33,351 --> 00:16:36,373
Allow me to be Johnny critical man as

415
00:16:36,452 --> 00:16:37,406
I interview you.

416
00:16:38,852 --> 00:16:40,204
It would seem to me... And nobody who

417
00:16:40,204 --> 00:16:41,874
knows this better than you. You were a,

418
00:16:42,431 --> 00:16:43,646
sales guy for

419
00:16:44,180 --> 00:16:46,884
many, many years at O'reilly in the management,

420
00:16:46,963 --> 00:16:47,282
of course.

421
00:16:48,649 --> 00:16:51,290
Could I tell you Joe, you wanna make

422
00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:54,009
more revenue, open more days out of the

423
00:16:54,009 --> 00:16:55,942
week? I think you were open. Like, a

424
00:16:56,022 --> 00:16:58,567
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, maybe? I think it was

425
00:16:58,646 --> 00:17:00,077
Friday, Saturday. Also,

426
00:17:00,793 --> 00:17:02,622
why not go to 5 days a week

427
00:17:02,622 --> 00:17:04,054
and see if you can make a run

428
00:17:04,054 --> 00:17:04,292
at?

429
00:17:05,659 --> 00:17:07,492
Yeah. That's a great question. I think that's

430
00:17:07,492 --> 00:17:09,006
a question that a lot of folks have.

431
00:17:09,643 --> 00:17:11,555
You know, the the thing that that a

432
00:17:11,555 --> 00:17:13,149
lot of people don't understand. Yes. I'm in

433
00:17:13,228 --> 00:17:15,220
Texas. Okay? But I'm in far West Texas.

434
00:17:15,952 --> 00:17:16,452
So

435
00:17:16,906 --> 00:17:19,054
when you think about Texas and and Barbecue,

436
00:17:19,292 --> 00:17:21,361
I mean, you about Texas, Barbecue is the

437
00:17:21,361 --> 00:17:22,236
second thing you think about.

438
00:17:23,362 --> 00:17:25,029
It is popular, but not here in El

439
00:17:25,188 --> 00:17:28,521
Paso. Mh. And, you know, part of me

440
00:17:28,521 --> 00:17:30,283
opening up was to change that. You know,

441
00:17:30,761 --> 00:17:32,433
we're not Austin. We're not Dallas. We're not

442
00:17:32,513 --> 00:17:33,490
Houston. We're not

443
00:17:34,026 --> 00:17:35,618
any of those big cities. We're a big

444
00:17:35,618 --> 00:17:35,936
city.

445
00:17:36,892 --> 00:17:38,086
El, paso is a really big city.

446
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:41,460
But when it comes to to Barbecue, it's

447
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:43,159
just not something that

448
00:17:43,539 --> 00:17:45,859
that people are accustomed to... And and not

449
00:17:45,859 --> 00:17:47,880
everybody, you know, I do wanna say that

450
00:17:48,273 --> 00:17:48,773
that,

451
00:17:49,305 --> 00:17:50,894
you know, I had we had our loyal

452
00:17:50,894 --> 00:17:52,880
customers. You know, our customers that didn't care

453
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:53,992
about the price of barbecue.

454
00:17:54,469 --> 00:17:56,319
You know, they've come over 2, 3 pounds

455
00:17:56,629 --> 00:17:59,176
at a time and and not say anything

456
00:17:59,176 --> 00:18:00,290
about the price, you know.

457
00:18:01,404 --> 00:18:03,735
But El paso is is

458
00:18:04,364 --> 00:18:06,119
you know, it's good Mexican food is not

459
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,634
text Me food, like you find down in

460
00:18:07,714 --> 00:18:10,346
San Antonio and the rest of Texas, you

461
00:18:10,346 --> 00:18:10,426
know,

462
00:18:11,543 --> 00:18:13,058
we have really good Mexican food, and that's

463
00:18:13,058 --> 00:18:14,230
what people out here

464
00:18:14,588 --> 00:18:16,898
are accustomed to. You know, just good, solid

465
00:18:16,978 --> 00:18:20,006
Mexican food. And and, again, we tried we

466
00:18:20,006 --> 00:18:22,077
tried twice to make this thing work and

467
00:18:22,077 --> 00:18:23,192
it just wasn't working.

468
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,857
When I look at your

469
00:18:28,474 --> 00:18:28,974
postings,

470
00:18:29,672 --> 00:18:31,826
and maybe this is my fo.

471
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:34,318
When I look at social media.

472
00:18:35,676 --> 00:18:38,893
To me, the outsider looking in, Joe Martinez

473
00:18:39,831 --> 00:18:42,653
killing it it was a cash cow

474
00:18:43,106 --> 00:18:44,217
sold out again.

475
00:18:45,089 --> 00:18:47,074
Everybody reviewing it saying best thing ever. I

476
00:18:47,074 --> 00:18:49,399
mean, hell, you got Daniel Vaughan to poke

477
00:18:49,628 --> 00:18:51,931
12 hours away from Dallas to come out

478
00:18:51,931 --> 00:18:53,519
and see and El Paso and he puts

479
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:56,536
you on the the shooting stars list last

480
00:18:56,536 --> 00:18:57,354
year. So

481
00:18:57,743 --> 00:18:59,755
there appeared to be everything

482
00:19:00,210 --> 00:19:03,632
going right to end up leading into really,

483
00:19:04,189 --> 00:19:04,689
very

484
00:19:05,158 --> 00:19:07,221
I don't know outrageous success, But at least

485
00:19:07,221 --> 00:19:09,682
something that you could hang your hat on

486
00:19:09,682 --> 00:19:11,666
and continue to grow, stay at if you

487
00:19:11,666 --> 00:19:13,751
wanted to, but wasn't gonna be, like, oh,

488
00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:15,745
I think I'm really gonna have to close

489
00:19:15,745 --> 00:19:17,819
down. You could work it for the next

490
00:19:17,819 --> 00:19:20,211
10:15 years and ago, okay. I'm just done

491
00:19:20,211 --> 00:19:22,205
working. Maybe I'll sell it. Mh.

492
00:19:23,649 --> 00:19:24,545
Is this the

493
00:19:25,234 --> 00:19:27,374
the fo that a lot of people fall

494
00:19:27,374 --> 00:19:29,117
into when we're following you? We think it's

495
00:19:29,117 --> 00:19:29,617
just

496
00:19:30,244 --> 00:19:32,325
cash hand fist, and it's really not?

497
00:19:33,444 --> 00:19:35,544
Yeah. I think I think that's that's,

498
00:19:36,484 --> 00:19:38,814
you know, accurate statement. So When we first

499
00:19:38,814 --> 00:19:40,880
opened up, you know, I went, you know,

500
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:43,422
full blown barbecue. Full blown Texas barbecue. I

501
00:19:43,422 --> 00:19:45,011
mean, I had every meat that you could

502
00:19:45,011 --> 00:19:46,613
pass... We think of when you think Barbecue,

503
00:19:46,772 --> 00:19:48,359
burnt ends, park belly burnt ends,

504
00:19:49,073 --> 00:19:51,692
you know, 7 different sides, you know, homemade

505
00:19:51,692 --> 00:19:53,279
cornbread bread, I had it all. I had

506
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:53,597
everything.

507
00:19:54,168 --> 00:19:56,953
Banana pudding everything. Mh. And things were going

508
00:19:56,953 --> 00:19:58,147
really good. We're making money.

509
00:19:58,942 --> 00:20:00,375
You know, I was excited to open up,

510
00:20:00,534 --> 00:20:02,625
and and, you know, we had

511
00:20:03,334 --> 00:20:04,923
you know, the first day, we cooked a

512
00:20:04,923 --> 00:20:07,465
bunch of brisket that we opened anyway, bunch

513
00:20:07,465 --> 00:20:09,134
of brisket, bunch of pork butts and we

514
00:20:09,134 --> 00:20:11,597
sold out and probably 3 hours and that.

515
00:20:12,248 --> 00:20:14,158
That was like, wow. That's... This is this

516
00:20:14,158 --> 00:20:17,341
is really gonna hit. And after that, you

517
00:20:17,341 --> 00:20:19,091
know, we stayed pretty busy.

518
00:20:20,783 --> 00:20:22,142
But then, you know, as I mentioned in

519
00:20:22,142 --> 00:20:24,379
the last podcast that I was on, you

520
00:20:24,379 --> 00:20:26,537
know, business slowed, and that's what led to

521
00:20:26,537 --> 00:20:28,615
me closing down the first time.

522
00:20:29,508 --> 00:20:31,103
It slowed down, then we had, you know,

523
00:20:31,262 --> 00:20:32,778
some personal stuff happened with an inter our

524
00:20:32,778 --> 00:20:34,134
in our family that we talked about.

525
00:20:35,250 --> 00:20:37,165
So that was a easy decision for me

526
00:20:37,165 --> 00:20:38,680
to shut it down then. You know, we

527
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,971
weren't making as much money.

528
00:20:40,689 --> 00:20:42,364
We had some personal stuff happen with our

529
00:20:42,364 --> 00:20:42,683
family.

530
00:20:43,241 --> 00:20:45,156
And so I just shut it down. Now,

531
00:20:45,794 --> 00:20:46,990
I'll take you guys back a little bit.

532
00:20:47,150 --> 00:20:48,665
When we reopen the second time,

533
00:20:49,795 --> 00:20:50,751
on March first,

534
00:20:52,503 --> 00:20:54,573
you know, I had a a much smaller

535
00:20:54,573 --> 00:20:56,188
menu. Mh. And

536
00:20:56,564 --> 00:20:58,571
things were going great you know, that's when

537
00:20:58,571 --> 00:21:00,587
we had the, I think it's a second

538
00:21:00,645 --> 00:21:01,762
interview that we had or third of you.

539
00:21:01,921 --> 00:21:04,554
I don't remember exactly how many. But things

540
00:21:04,554 --> 00:21:06,468
were going really good. You know, we were

541
00:21:06,468 --> 00:21:07,265
selling out every day.

542
00:21:08,235 --> 00:21:09,109
The new menu,

543
00:21:09,665 --> 00:21:12,207
I thought was working, you know, because we

544
00:21:12,207 --> 00:21:13,580
were selling out, and and

545
00:21:14,034 --> 00:21:15,702
we were a lot more profitable. We had

546
00:21:15,702 --> 00:21:17,306
less waste at the end of the day.

547
00:21:17,942 --> 00:21:19,134
Things were going great.

548
00:21:19,690 --> 00:21:20,429
And then

549
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,789
I don't know. It it just, you know,

550
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:24,799
customers would show up, Greg, and

551
00:21:25,347 --> 00:21:25,903
they'd say, hey,

552
00:21:26,856 --> 00:21:28,207
can I get some smoke mac and cheese?

553
00:21:28,365 --> 00:21:29,795
Oh, we don't have smoke mac and cheese

554
00:21:29,795 --> 00:21:32,019
anymore Because, you know, I I can... I

555
00:21:32,019 --> 00:21:33,234
reduced the menu down

556
00:21:33,623 --> 00:21:35,689
And so I didn't have...

557
00:21:36,563 --> 00:21:37,993
I think the only side I had was

558
00:21:37,993 --> 00:21:40,138
beans, but because beans was something that went

559
00:21:40,138 --> 00:21:40,750
in our

560
00:21:41,108 --> 00:21:43,200
loaded potato and and

561
00:21:43,575 --> 00:21:45,962
our loaded fries. So we were selling beans

562
00:21:45,962 --> 00:21:48,191
as a, you know, they're Texas cowboy beans.

563
00:21:49,401 --> 00:21:51,073
So we were selling that. But people would

564
00:21:51,073 --> 00:21:52,348
show up and say, hey, can I get

565
00:21:52,348 --> 00:21:54,020
ribs? Well, we weren't doing ribs every day

566
00:21:54,020 --> 00:21:56,649
either. You know, we were doing ribs only

567
00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:57,286
on Fridays,

568
00:21:58,098 --> 00:22:00,092
And we were selling out, You know, we

569
00:22:00,092 --> 00:22:01,209
were selling out of ribs, and I thought

570
00:22:01,209 --> 00:22:01,767
it was working.

571
00:22:02,565 --> 00:22:04,638
But, you know, when we cook 10 racks

572
00:22:04,638 --> 00:22:06,074
of ribs, it got to the point where

573
00:22:06,074 --> 00:22:07,350
we're cooking 10 racks of ribs,

574
00:22:08,004 --> 00:22:10,162
And at closing time, we'd still have 4

575
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:11,920
in the smoker and I'm, like, holy cow.

576
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,439
What's going down? What's going on here?

577
00:22:14,957 --> 00:22:16,555
You know, brisket, we were smoking a lot

578
00:22:16,555 --> 00:22:17,215
of brisket

579
00:22:17,769 --> 00:22:19,630
here towards the end, Greg, we were

580
00:22:20,009 --> 00:22:21,470
we were probably cooking

581
00:22:22,809 --> 00:22:24,829
3 brisket a day, and

582
00:22:25,384 --> 00:22:27,856
that's just not gonna generate the revenue. Yeah.

583
00:22:28,016 --> 00:22:29,531
It's not gonna generate the revenue that we

584
00:22:29,531 --> 00:22:32,403
need to survive. And and, yes, you know,

585
00:22:32,562 --> 00:22:34,078
we can blame all sorts of things. I'm

586
00:22:34,078 --> 00:22:36,646
not a guy that's know, gonna make excuses

587
00:22:36,646 --> 00:22:37,704
about things. But,

588
00:22:38,401 --> 00:22:39,997
you know, that this was a a big

589
00:22:39,997 --> 00:22:41,114
learning curve for me.

590
00:22:42,804 --> 00:22:44,398
And if if I had to do it,

591
00:22:44,717 --> 00:22:46,652
all over we're gonna be way different. But,

592
00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:48,783
you know, if it's to the point where

593
00:22:48,783 --> 00:22:50,458
we cook 3 biscuits a day and and

594
00:22:50,458 --> 00:22:51,356
we'd still have

595
00:22:51,748 --> 00:22:53,423
you know, sometimes we'd have a brisket left

596
00:22:53,423 --> 00:22:54,858
over a half a biscuit left over. It's

597
00:22:54,858 --> 00:22:57,090
like, man, what's going on here? You know?

598
00:22:57,648 --> 00:22:59,960
But so let's roll all the way back.

599
00:23:00,374 --> 00:23:02,127
And play post mortem,

600
00:23:02,844 --> 00:23:03,481
second guess,

601
00:23:04,118 --> 00:23:06,429
20 20, Arm share quarterback, whatever you wanna

602
00:23:06,429 --> 00:23:06,668
call.

603
00:23:08,829 --> 00:23:11,528
When you look at the initial stages of

604
00:23:11,528 --> 00:23:13,616
opening. And when we talked about it, you

605
00:23:13,672 --> 00:23:14,648
appeared to have

606
00:23:15,751 --> 00:23:18,948
a lot of things well thought out. You

607
00:23:19,163 --> 00:23:21,067
gotten the right buy in from your wife.

608
00:23:21,305 --> 00:23:23,740
You had made all the right financial

609
00:23:24,176 --> 00:23:26,004
decisions. We talked in up about all of

610
00:23:26,004 --> 00:23:27,196
that. You weren't going in,

611
00:23:27,832 --> 00:23:29,421
leveraged with a whole bunch of debt or

612
00:23:29,421 --> 00:23:31,982
anything like that. You would use the money

613
00:23:31,982 --> 00:23:34,295
that you had made save bubble blah really

614
00:23:34,295 --> 00:23:35,571
fund this thing and get it off the

615
00:23:35,571 --> 00:23:37,347
ground. Within that

616
00:23:37,804 --> 00:23:40,458
first 6 months of opening,

617
00:23:41,569 --> 00:23:44,046
Is there anything in that span of time

618
00:23:44,046 --> 00:23:46,364
where you would go back and say, I

619
00:23:46,364 --> 00:23:48,282
would change this and this would put us

620
00:23:48,282 --> 00:23:50,380
in a different spot either now

621
00:23:50,773 --> 00:23:52,205
or would have set us up to be

622
00:23:52,205 --> 00:23:53,715
in a better position moving forward.

623
00:23:55,942 --> 00:23:56,442
So

624
00:23:57,135 --> 00:23:59,282
there is, but at the same at the

625
00:23:59,282 --> 00:24:00,077
same time, you know,

626
00:24:00,969 --> 00:24:02,964
because... And I'll talk about what the changes

627
00:24:02,964 --> 00:24:03,523
that I'd make,

628
00:24:04,721 --> 00:24:06,157
the the the change that I would make.

629
00:24:06,397 --> 00:24:07,834
Let me around that just for us I

630
00:24:07,914 --> 00:24:09,884
Joke. Because I I think this is important

631
00:24:10,004 --> 00:24:11,756
people to listen to because if you're thinking

632
00:24:11,756 --> 00:24:13,429
about doing something like this.

633
00:24:14,544 --> 00:24:16,955
My goal in asking Joe the hard questions

634
00:24:17,013 --> 00:24:20,216
is for him to give us the answers

635
00:24:20,216 --> 00:24:22,689
and really the straight information on what he

636
00:24:22,689 --> 00:24:23,668
has went through

637
00:24:24,126 --> 00:24:26,062
to help The next person

638
00:24:26,774 --> 00:24:29,171
make sure they're seeing all the different sides

639
00:24:29,171 --> 00:24:31,568
of this potential. Because I think it's very

640
00:24:31,568 --> 00:24:32,048
sexy.

641
00:24:32,607 --> 00:24:34,285
People think they can do it. People think

642
00:24:34,285 --> 00:24:35,895
they're great cooks and then there's a lot

643
00:24:35,895 --> 00:24:38,444
more things that are involved in what actually

644
00:24:38,444 --> 00:24:40,116
makes you a success or does it make

645
00:24:40,116 --> 00:24:41,789
you a success. So start I'd to interrupt,

646
00:24:41,948 --> 00:24:42,984
but, go ahead from there.

647
00:24:44,034 --> 00:24:45,622
Yeah. So the the thing that I would

648
00:24:45,622 --> 00:24:48,321
change is not have so many proteins.

649
00:24:48,877 --> 00:24:50,307
You know, there was there was meats that

650
00:24:50,386 --> 00:24:51,657
I had that I could have done without.

651
00:24:52,468 --> 00:24:53,825
And then the number of sides that I

652
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:55,741
had, I could have done... If I would've

653
00:24:55,741 --> 00:24:57,576
have just done half of the meats and

654
00:24:57,576 --> 00:24:58,933
half of the sides I think that we

655
00:24:58,933 --> 00:25:00,231
would have been okay. But

656
00:25:01,021 --> 00:25:01,657
on the same...

657
00:25:02,452 --> 00:25:03,723
In the same conversation, Greg,

658
00:25:04,756 --> 00:25:06,346
because of all the sides and because of

659
00:25:06,346 --> 00:25:07,458
all the meats that I had,

660
00:25:08,269 --> 00:25:10,503
people were coming. You know, Daniel Vaughan showed

661
00:25:10,503 --> 00:25:13,057
up because he would see my, the pictures

662
00:25:13,057 --> 00:25:15,904
of my platter on Instagram or Facebook or

663
00:25:16,103 --> 00:25:18,267
you know, wherever he was seeing these, and

664
00:25:18,322 --> 00:25:20,065
we made some beautiful platter, you know, we

665
00:25:20,065 --> 00:25:21,120
were really proud

666
00:25:21,492 --> 00:25:23,315
of everything that we're were making, we had,

667
00:25:23,809 --> 00:25:25,269
2 different flavor sausages.

668
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:27,569
You know, we had ribs every day. We

669
00:25:27,569 --> 00:25:28,690
had beef ribs every day,

670
00:25:29,410 --> 00:25:31,329
pork belly burnt ends. We had turkey. We

671
00:25:31,329 --> 00:25:32,210
had half chickens,

672
00:25:33,734 --> 00:25:36,352
So, yeah. So because of that, Greg,

673
00:25:37,621 --> 00:25:39,605
because of the platter pictures that I was

674
00:25:39,605 --> 00:25:40,105
posting.

675
00:25:41,285 --> 00:25:42,711
You know, that got the attention of a

676
00:25:42,711 --> 00:25:44,613
lot of people, not just Daniel Von, Daniel

677
00:25:44,692 --> 00:25:45,509
Wan obviously

678
00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:47,782
an important part of Texas barbecue.

679
00:25:48,433 --> 00:25:50,747
But there's a lot of barbecue people that

680
00:25:50,747 --> 00:25:53,460
will travel for good barbecue. So people were

681
00:25:53,460 --> 00:25:56,189
coming from Canada, you know, and and we

682
00:25:56,189 --> 00:25:58,666
became good friends, people from California. All over

683
00:25:58,666 --> 00:26:00,983
the all over the the the country they

684
00:26:00,983 --> 00:26:02,741
were coming in to try my barbecue because

685
00:26:02,821 --> 00:26:05,226
I had finally opened up a barbecue place.

686
00:26:05,385 --> 00:26:07,155
You know, they were watching my Youtube videos

687
00:26:07,845 --> 00:26:09,909
and saying, man, I wish I wish you

688
00:26:09,909 --> 00:26:11,416
would sell your food. I wish I could

689
00:26:11,416 --> 00:26:12,607
order sausages from you.

690
00:26:13,653 --> 00:26:15,716
Etcetera. Well, once once I opened up, you

691
00:26:15,716 --> 00:26:17,383
know, there will... They'd be there'd be truck

692
00:26:17,383 --> 00:26:19,366
drivers that we're driving through that aren't from

693
00:26:19,525 --> 00:26:19,843
Texas,

694
00:26:20,573 --> 00:26:21,927
they would message me and say, hey, Can

695
00:26:22,006 --> 00:26:23,121
I get some of your sausages?

696
00:26:23,917 --> 00:26:25,112
I'll just pull in the parking lot, and

697
00:26:25,271 --> 00:26:26,943
I just, you know, get 12 or whatever.

698
00:26:27,103 --> 00:26:28,616
Yeah. I'll I'll have them ready for you.

699
00:26:29,188 --> 00:26:30,941
So, you know, things were going really good.

700
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:33,012
If it wasn't for the the size of

701
00:26:33,012 --> 00:26:33,569
my menu,

702
00:26:34,445 --> 00:26:35,981
I don't think that I would have gotten

703
00:26:36,038 --> 00:26:37,791
as much attention as I as I did,

704
00:26:38,443 --> 00:26:40,517
But at the same token, you know, it

705
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:42,111
was it was it was a double edged

706
00:26:42,111 --> 00:26:44,047
sword that hurt me in the long run

707
00:26:44,344 --> 00:26:46,019
because of the waste, You know, the waste

708
00:26:46,019 --> 00:26:47,157
that we started having

709
00:26:47,869 --> 00:26:49,946
in in the beginning, we had very little

710
00:26:49,946 --> 00:26:51,943
ways we were selling out. But when things

711
00:26:51,943 --> 00:26:53,541
start slowing down, and and there's a lot

712
00:26:53,541 --> 00:26:56,195
of factors of a why business will slow

713
00:26:56,195 --> 00:26:58,035
down. You know, whether being number 1 we're

714
00:26:58,035 --> 00:26:59,795
in the food truck park. And I think

715
00:26:59,795 --> 00:27:01,075
that's important for people to know.

716
00:27:02,369 --> 00:27:03,490
We're in a food truck park. I'm in

717
00:27:03,490 --> 00:27:05,089
a food truck, 8 and half by 20

718
00:27:05,089 --> 00:27:05,490
food truck,

719
00:27:07,009 --> 00:27:08,369
had it been in a a brick and

720
00:27:08,369 --> 00:27:10,369
mortar. I think things would be different. And

721
00:27:10,369 --> 00:27:11,670
and that's 1 of the things

722
00:27:11,984 --> 00:27:13,180
if I had to do this all over

723
00:27:13,180 --> 00:27:13,420
again.

724
00:27:14,058 --> 00:27:15,414
I don't think I would start in the

725
00:27:15,414 --> 00:27:16,929
food truck. It's it's a lot of work,

726
00:27:18,285 --> 00:27:20,439
very demanding. Barbecue by itself is a lot

727
00:27:20,439 --> 00:27:22,842
of work. Imagine doing it, in a portable

728
00:27:22,842 --> 00:27:25,303
kitchen. It just... It... It's difficult. You know?

729
00:27:25,462 --> 00:27:26,891
So those are just some of the changes

730
00:27:26,891 --> 00:27:29,456
that I make now. There there have been

731
00:27:29,591 --> 00:27:31,353
a few people that have reached out You

732
00:27:31,353 --> 00:27:32,148
know, I did some,

733
00:27:34,057 --> 00:27:35,885
consulting for a few people that opened up

734
00:27:35,885 --> 00:27:38,271
barbecue places that opened up food trucks. They

735
00:27:38,271 --> 00:27:39,248
would come and spend

736
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,240
3 days with me, and I still do

737
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,840
that for for people. You know, I'd tell

738
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,000
them, you know, especially now that I close

739
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,759
a second time for good. A lot of

740
00:27:46,759 --> 00:27:48,773
people are reaching out, saying, hey, Joe, what

741
00:27:48,773 --> 00:27:50,844
happened and tell me walk me through so

742
00:27:50,844 --> 00:27:52,518
that I don't make these same mistakes, you

743
00:27:52,518 --> 00:27:53,474
know, help me out here.

744
00:27:54,669 --> 00:27:56,501
And and I'm honest with them. You know,

745
00:27:56,661 --> 00:27:58,095
because I don't want them to fail. I

746
00:27:58,095 --> 00:27:59,488
don't want anybody

747
00:28:00,346 --> 00:28:02,983
out there that's listening to this podcast that's

748
00:28:02,983 --> 00:28:05,140
thinking about opening up a food truck.

749
00:28:05,873 --> 00:28:07,308
To hear this and say, okay, I'm not

750
00:28:07,308 --> 00:28:08,503
gonna open up a food truck. I'm just

751
00:28:08,503 --> 00:28:09,061
not gonna do it.

752
00:28:10,018 --> 00:28:11,452
You know, reach out to me and I'll

753
00:28:11,452 --> 00:28:13,579
help you to, you know, and I'm I'm

754
00:28:13,857 --> 00:28:15,285
Greg's is asking all the questions here and

755
00:28:15,285 --> 00:28:17,269
and I'm I'm hoping that we answer all

756
00:28:17,269 --> 00:28:17,507
of them.

757
00:28:18,776 --> 00:28:20,125
But in a lot of things I'm gonna

758
00:28:20,125 --> 00:28:21,315
share with you because I don't want you

759
00:28:21,315 --> 00:28:23,740
to fail. I want everybody's succeed, and everybody's

760
00:28:23,798 --> 00:28:24,355
situation is different.

761
00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:28,021
I think in my area because Barbecue isn't

762
00:28:28,021 --> 00:28:29,536
as popular as the rest of Texas.

763
00:28:30,109 --> 00:28:31,305
That may have hurt me being in a

764
00:28:31,305 --> 00:28:33,538
food truck park hurt me. And, you know,

765
00:28:33,618 --> 00:28:35,373
there's things that I can't control the weather

766
00:28:35,373 --> 00:28:37,287
and stuff like that that that will slow

767
00:28:37,287 --> 00:28:39,281
the business down. But, again, I'm not making

768
00:28:39,281 --> 00:28:41,054
excuses on on the any of that stuff

769
00:28:41,054 --> 00:28:42,595
because there's things that I could have done

770
00:28:42,894 --> 00:28:44,174
to change things right out of the out

771
00:28:44,174 --> 00:28:44,575
of gate.

772
00:28:47,467 --> 00:28:48,684
When we look at

773
00:28:49,539 --> 00:28:53,125
those next 6 months or even up to

774
00:28:53,125 --> 00:28:54,001
a year past.

775
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:56,801
Were there any other things that you did

776
00:28:56,801 --> 00:28:57,938
that you would change

777
00:28:58,551 --> 00:29:00,699
that you think could have saved the business

778
00:29:00,699 --> 00:29:02,130
or help you stretch out a little long?

779
00:29:04,055 --> 00:29:05,887
Yeah. I think that what I should have

780
00:29:05,887 --> 00:29:08,436
done, So when I when I opened up

781
00:29:08,436 --> 00:29:08,754
again,

782
00:29:09,949 --> 00:29:10,825
the second time,

783
00:29:12,194 --> 00:29:13,706
you know, I Had mentioned that I reduced

784
00:29:13,706 --> 00:29:14,104
my menu.

785
00:29:14,741 --> 00:29:16,094
I think I reduced it to the point

786
00:29:16,094 --> 00:29:18,084
where it hurt my business because people would...

787
00:29:18,243 --> 00:29:20,074
As I mentioned earlier, would would walk up

788
00:29:20,074 --> 00:29:21,529
and say, hey, let me get some

789
00:29:22,554 --> 00:29:23,743
Let me get half a rack of ribs.

790
00:29:23,981 --> 00:29:24,695
Let me get

791
00:29:25,171 --> 00:29:26,520
a pound of turkey. Let me get some

792
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,948
mac and cheese, and I didn't have any

793
00:29:27,948 --> 00:29:30,343
of those. Are they just ordering? Like, Are

794
00:29:30,343 --> 00:29:32,756
they just coming up and telling you hoping

795
00:29:32,893 --> 00:29:34,725
you have it? Like, isn't there a menu

796
00:29:34,725 --> 00:29:36,478
posted somewhere that they can read?

797
00:29:37,688 --> 00:29:39,120
There's a menu right next to the window

798
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,790
and it's like, oh, you know, we'd have

799
00:29:40,790 --> 00:29:41,983
to remind them or our menus right there

800
00:29:42,063 --> 00:29:44,154
Are updated menus right there. And

801
00:29:44,703 --> 00:29:46,690
And, you know, the the most, Greg was

802
00:29:46,690 --> 00:29:48,200
when people would walk up and say that,

803
00:29:48,915 --> 00:29:50,664
and we didn't have any of it, and

804
00:29:50,664 --> 00:29:51,697
they'd turn around a walk away.

805
00:29:52,429 --> 00:29:54,746
And and that was, like, wow, man. That

806
00:29:54,746 --> 00:29:56,205
that hurts, You know, because

807
00:29:56,584 --> 00:29:58,502
that's what they went for. They they were

808
00:29:58,502 --> 00:29:59,960
loyal customers and

809
00:30:00,514 --> 00:30:02,269
you know, they're back again, and they're wanting

810
00:30:02,269 --> 00:30:04,980
that same same food, same sides that they

811
00:30:04,980 --> 00:30:06,358
were getting before, cornbread.

812
00:30:07,453 --> 00:30:09,208
I have any of that, and we don't

813
00:30:09,208 --> 00:30:11,059
have it and and we had several customers

814
00:30:11,059 --> 00:30:12,119
walk away. So.

815
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:14,900
You know, 1 thing that I started doing,

816
00:30:15,059 --> 00:30:17,220
Greg was I brought back the mac and

817
00:30:17,220 --> 00:30:17,460
cheese.

818
00:30:18,430 --> 00:30:20,738
I brought it back, you know, against my

819
00:30:20,738 --> 00:30:22,647
better judgment, I brought it back, and it

820
00:30:22,647 --> 00:30:25,034
started to sell. People... You know, I posted

821
00:30:25,034 --> 00:30:26,546
it, hey, our Mac and cheese is back.

822
00:30:28,076 --> 00:30:28,576
And,

823
00:30:28,953 --> 00:30:30,309
you know, people were coming back for that,

824
00:30:30,468 --> 00:30:32,941
we brought back our our banana pudding. So

825
00:30:33,101 --> 00:30:35,493
I think that by removing or taking all

826
00:30:35,493 --> 00:30:36,744
the sides off pretty much

827
00:30:37,344 --> 00:30:39,102
that kinda hurt our business, so a lot

828
00:30:39,102 --> 00:30:40,700
of the loyal customers that were coming because

829
00:30:40,700 --> 00:30:42,219
of the sides. And again, everything was made

830
00:30:42,219 --> 00:30:42,698
from scratch.

831
00:30:43,498 --> 00:30:45,336
Okay? We weren't using Val vid and our

832
00:30:45,336 --> 00:30:47,107
cheese. Everything was made from scratch our cheese

833
00:30:47,107 --> 00:30:49,736
sauces made from scratch everything. So it's good

834
00:30:49,736 --> 00:30:49,975
food.

835
00:30:51,807 --> 00:30:54,054
But because of that, I think that I

836
00:30:54,054 --> 00:30:55,966
hurt myself doing that, and and we lost

837
00:30:55,966 --> 00:30:56,944
a lot of customers

838
00:30:57,958 --> 00:31:00,667
that, you know, that really loved our sides

839
00:31:00,667 --> 00:31:02,340
and really love the beef ribs in Turkey,

840
00:31:02,499 --> 00:31:03,376
but we didn't have anymore.

841
00:31:04,265 --> 00:31:05,455
Joe, and I push you on hold here

842
00:31:05,455 --> 00:31:06,726
for a second. We'll pick it up here

843
00:31:06,726 --> 00:31:07,361
in a couple minutes?

844
00:31:08,392 --> 00:31:10,536
Absolutely. Lawrence. Standby stand by, Joe martinez is

845
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:11,988
talking with us about

846
00:31:12,773 --> 00:31:13,273
Finally,

847
00:31:13,647 --> 00:31:14,863
calling it a

848
00:31:15,476 --> 00:31:16,747
food truck career.

849
00:31:18,019 --> 00:31:19,847
Ask some more questions here after we get

850
00:31:19,847 --> 00:31:20,960
back before we do that.

851
00:31:22,249 --> 00:31:23,708
Let's talk about the backyard

852
00:31:24,166 --> 00:31:26,723
version of the famed pits built by Aaron

853
00:31:26,883 --> 00:31:30,009
Franklin for his renowned barbecue restaurant Austin, Texas

854
00:31:30,009 --> 00:31:31,599
of the Franklin barbecue pit,

855
00:31:32,474 --> 00:31:34,621
a deeply sought out refined version of the

856
00:31:34,621 --> 00:31:37,563
old propane style cooker that Aaron uses at

857
00:31:37,563 --> 00:31:39,647
his restaurant franklin barbecue.

858
00:31:40,445 --> 00:31:40,945
Stylist,

859
00:31:41,561 --> 00:31:43,634
it reflects the kind of bare bones industrial

860
00:31:43,634 --> 00:31:45,888
handmade aesthetic that he loves including the Pat

861
00:31:45,946 --> 00:31:47,301
and the way the build allows you see

862
00:31:47,301 --> 00:31:48,533
the weld in the a craftsmanship.

863
00:31:49,621 --> 00:31:51,606
Now the schematics of the Texas style off

864
00:31:51,606 --> 00:31:52,003
offset pit.

865
00:31:52,718 --> 00:31:55,497
Relatively simple even if the thing's happening inside

866
00:31:55,497 --> 00:31:57,109
the cooking chamber are

867
00:31:57,816 --> 00:32:01,553
complicated dynamics of physics and chemistry, very few

868
00:32:01,553 --> 00:32:04,336
moving parts here. Numerous, to mass difference divide

869
00:32:04,336 --> 00:32:05,210
this franklin pit.

870
00:32:05,944 --> 00:32:08,101
And the average barbecue smoker sold at the

871
00:32:08,101 --> 00:32:08,900
big box stores.

872
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:11,537
For 1, much of the challenge of building

873
00:32:11,537 --> 00:32:12,836
and shipping these pits

874
00:32:13,295 --> 00:32:15,059
comes with a thick and he of the

875
00:32:15,059 --> 00:32:17,596
materials, but also much of the value cheap

876
00:32:17,596 --> 00:32:18,865
smokers are made with thin metal.

877
00:32:19,579 --> 00:32:21,585
Not only does thin metal material

878
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:24,436
tend to warp and crack when sustaining these

879
00:32:24,436 --> 00:32:25,151
kinds of heat,

880
00:32:25,787 --> 00:32:27,932
which are required to make great brisket in

881
00:32:27,932 --> 00:32:30,659
barbecue, especially on cold days, the thin of

882
00:32:30,659 --> 00:32:32,259
the metal just sheds the heat and you

883
00:32:32,259 --> 00:32:34,019
struggle to maintain consistent temperatures.

884
00:32:34,899 --> 00:32:37,619
Franklin barbecue pits primarily made with quarter inch

885
00:32:37,859 --> 00:32:40,672
American makes steel, anything that sees heat engineered

886
00:32:40,672 --> 00:32:42,670
to be incredibly solid should last for a

887
00:32:42,670 --> 00:32:44,508
century or more of cared for properly.

888
00:32:45,307 --> 00:32:47,716
The thickness of that steel guarantees profession grade

889
00:32:47,716 --> 00:32:50,761
heat retention a critical component making great barbecue.

890
00:32:52,011 --> 00:32:54,476

Full rash.

920
00:33:59,302 --> 00:34:00,357
Legs and thighs,

921
00:34:01,363 --> 00:34:04,851
injecting butts. You've never heard this before. You

922
00:34:04,851 --> 00:34:06,772

924
00:34:08,922 --> 00:34:11,231

925
00:34:11,788 --> 00:34:13,062
Craig wimp mp.

926
00:34:13,778 --> 00:34:15,465
The portion in the shell. Being brought to

by jr r e, tobacco,

928
00:34:18,091 --> 00:34:19,387
makers of Ali,

929
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,525
came room, Reserve, and Puma, No.

930
00:34:24,631 --> 00:34:26,461
Let's talk about fu changes just for a

931
00:34:26,461 --> 00:34:28,530
moment dense, rich, intense.

932
00:34:29,246 --> 00:34:32,588
The first cigar without cor tobacco, which is

933
00:34:32,588 --> 00:34:33,088
jerry's

934
00:34:33,797 --> 00:34:34,434
signature, of course.

935
00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:37,537
Way more full bodied than the norm. We

936
00:34:37,537 --> 00:34:39,288
call it the last cigar of the night,

937
00:34:40,084 --> 00:34:42,074
put a jr tobacco dot com to find

938
00:34:42,074 --> 00:34:44,948
out more and seek out a retailer proud

939
00:34:44,948 --> 00:34:47,171
sponsor this show and I am a proud

940
00:34:47,171 --> 00:34:47,671
smoker

941
00:34:48,045 --> 00:34:50,838
of their premium hand rolled cigars and we

942
00:34:50,838 --> 00:34:53,780
are joined by Joe Martinez once again. Joe,

943
00:34:53,938 --> 00:34:57,118
we talk about menu in menu selection. It's

944
00:34:57,118 --> 00:34:59,121
always a conversation. I love to have with

945
00:34:59,121 --> 00:35:01,268
folks when they're getting ready to open or

946
00:35:01,268 --> 00:35:03,336
they have just open as we get to

947
00:35:03,336 --> 00:35:05,325
learn the nuts and bolts of them, getting

948
00:35:05,325 --> 00:35:06,836
from start to open. Right?

949
00:35:07,488 --> 00:35:07,988
And

950
00:35:08,366 --> 00:35:10,440
the refrain is always.

951
00:35:11,636 --> 00:35:14,210
Your ego says make everything

952
00:35:14,906 --> 00:35:17,114
because you need to show off to people

953
00:35:17,234 --> 00:35:18,750
that you are the pit master.

954
00:35:19,308 --> 00:35:20,824
But the business says,

955
00:35:21,782 --> 00:35:23,079
really keep it tight

956
00:35:23,536 --> 00:35:24,036
and

957
00:35:24,508 --> 00:35:27,630
focus on a few things and do them

958
00:35:27,687 --> 00:35:28,187
spectacularly.

959
00:35:29,435 --> 00:35:31,445
Easy for me to say or

960
00:35:31,913 --> 00:35:34,140
easier to fall into the... I wanna show

961
00:35:34,140 --> 00:35:35,015
everybody what I can do.

962
00:35:36,923 --> 00:35:39,229
Well, I I think that, you know, both

963
00:35:39,229 --> 00:35:41,058
of the both of the... Your statements, you

964
00:35:41,058 --> 00:35:41,217
know,

965
00:35:41,948 --> 00:35:43,539
play a factor in in any business. You

966
00:35:43,539 --> 00:35:45,686
know, you wanna you wanna start a business,

967
00:35:46,084 --> 00:35:48,073
but, like you said, Greg, it... It's better

968
00:35:48,073 --> 00:35:48,573
to

969
00:35:49,525 --> 00:35:51,204
to just do a few things, a handful

970
00:35:51,204 --> 00:35:53,285
of things and be great at them, You

971
00:35:53,285 --> 00:35:54,405
know, and you can get a lot of

972
00:35:54,405 --> 00:35:55,864
people's attention, and then

973
00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:58,099
maybe down the road when you open if

974
00:35:58,099 --> 00:35:59,219
and when you open up a brick and

975
00:35:59,219 --> 00:36:01,460
mortar. I mean, and then spread your wings

976
00:36:01,460 --> 00:36:02,599
and and

977
00:36:02,980 --> 00:36:03,914
and bring in,

978
00:36:04,275 --> 00:36:06,675
all these extra proteins and sides, etcetera.

979
00:36:07,474 --> 00:36:09,235
But I think both of your statements. I

980
00:36:09,235 --> 00:36:11,175
mean, they they pay they play a factor,

981
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:14,050
you in in any business, you know, you

982
00:36:14,050 --> 00:36:16,449
wanna open up and and, you know, put

983
00:36:16,449 --> 00:36:18,050
your best foot forward and hey, look at

984
00:36:18,050 --> 00:36:19,170
me. This is what I can do.

985
00:36:19,824 --> 00:36:21,579
And and, again, I I don't have any

986
00:36:21,579 --> 00:36:23,254
regrets of it anything that happened. I mean,

987
00:36:23,413 --> 00:36:25,886
I accomplished a lot. I wasn't expecting to

988
00:36:25,886 --> 00:36:28,518
be on Texas Monthly top 25 barbecue joints,

989
00:36:28,677 --> 00:36:30,126
and that's something that we accomplished.

990
00:36:30,603 --> 00:36:32,193
And I'm very proud of that. You know,

991
00:36:32,353 --> 00:36:32,829
I have not...

992
00:36:33,625 --> 00:36:35,612
I haven't lost my passion for Barbecue.

993
00:36:36,885 --> 00:36:38,634
And, you know, earlier, you made a statement

994
00:36:38,634 --> 00:36:40,557
that, hey, on the outside looking in, everything

995
00:36:40,557 --> 00:36:43,103
looked great. Mh. And as an owner of

996
00:36:43,103 --> 00:36:45,569
a business, Greg, I don't wanna be that

997
00:36:45,569 --> 00:36:47,818
guy that I want people to feel sorry

998
00:36:47,818 --> 00:36:50,374
for me because I'm slow, etcetera. You know,

999
00:36:50,534 --> 00:36:52,212
I could have put... I could have put

1000
00:36:52,212 --> 00:36:53,410
out a sympathy post.

1001
00:36:53,984 --> 00:36:55,421
You know, And I'm and I'm sure it

1002
00:36:55,421 --> 00:36:57,815
would have rejuvenate the business for a little

1003
00:36:57,815 --> 00:36:57,974
while.

1004
00:36:58,852 --> 00:37:00,527
But I I just didn't want that. You

1005
00:37:00,527 --> 00:37:03,087
know, I didn't want to be that that

1006
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:06,178
business that is out there crying for for

1007
00:37:06,178 --> 00:37:08,001
help and it... You know, I just wanted

1008
00:37:08,001 --> 00:37:09,135
it to come naturally

1009
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:10,740
But

1010
00:37:11,197 --> 00:37:13,268
again, you know, things happen for a reason,

1011
00:37:13,427 --> 00:37:14,246
and and

1012
00:37:14,861 --> 00:37:16,216
if if I had to do it all

1013
00:37:16,216 --> 00:37:17,889
over again, you know, obviously, things would be

1014
00:37:17,889 --> 00:37:19,900
different, But I don't plan on doing this

1015
00:37:19,900 --> 00:37:22,299
again, you know, and and I know I

1016
00:37:22,299 --> 00:37:23,739
mentioned earlier that I wouldn't start in the

1017
00:37:23,739 --> 00:37:26,034
food truck. But you take a look at

1018
00:37:26,153 --> 00:37:27,982
you know, some of your top barbecue places

1019
00:37:27,982 --> 00:37:28,856
in Texas, you know

1020
00:37:29,572 --> 00:37:31,957
That recently shut down. You know, they started

1021
00:37:31,957 --> 00:37:32,593
in the food truck.

1022
00:37:33,388 --> 00:37:35,057
Every mae barbecue in Lu, Texas,

1023
00:37:35,947 --> 00:37:38,410
they started in a food truck, franklin barbecue,

1024
00:37:38,966 --> 00:37:40,317
you know, started in the food truck.

1025
00:37:41,827 --> 00:37:42,565
A trailer

1026
00:37:43,193 --> 00:37:45,289
I could probably fit Franklin's

1027
00:37:45,905 --> 00:37:46,623
original trailer,

1028
00:37:47,101 --> 00:37:49,494
2 of them inside my current trailer. And...

1029
00:37:50,850 --> 00:37:52,387
But I don't think he was doing

1030
00:37:52,858 --> 00:37:54,130
all the sides and all the meats that

1031
00:37:54,209 --> 00:37:55,639
I was doing. Yeah, met he did what

1032
00:37:55,639 --> 00:37:57,308
you mentioned earlier, just, you know, go in

1033
00:37:57,308 --> 00:37:58,420
there with a handful of items and be

1034
00:37:58,420 --> 00:37:58,818
good at it.

1035
00:38:01,543 --> 00:38:02,182
When you

1036
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:04,739
if you moved,

1037
00:38:05,458 --> 00:38:07,456
smoking and Joe's pit barbecue not even moved

1038
00:38:07,456 --> 00:38:08,835
it, but if you lived and

1039
00:38:09,469 --> 00:38:11,620
1 of the more well known barbecue cities.

1040
00:38:11,779 --> 00:38:14,648
Do you think that you are just as

1041
00:38:14,648 --> 00:38:16,183
successful as you were

1042
00:38:16,734 --> 00:38:19,148
in El Paso, but you would have had

1043
00:38:19,207 --> 00:38:20,722
consistency at being successful?

1044
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,753
Yes. Then then I would have been able

1045
00:38:23,753 --> 00:38:25,189
to open up more days, Greg, You know,

1046
00:38:25,268 --> 00:38:26,599
we tried opening more days

1047
00:38:27,592 --> 00:38:29,338
tried opening up Sundays, you know, try to

1048
00:38:29,338 --> 00:38:31,481
do Barb on Sunday, Small Bar,

1049
00:38:32,036 --> 00:38:33,148
which are beef cheeks for those of you

1050
00:38:33,148 --> 00:38:33,782
guys that don't know.

1051
00:38:34,753 --> 00:38:36,348
You know, it's a very popular food El

1052
00:38:36,348 --> 00:38:38,342
paso. You know, Barb is something that you

1053
00:38:38,342 --> 00:38:40,575
eat on Sundays here in Paso. It's not

1054
00:38:40,575 --> 00:38:42,090
smoked. The way we would make it, but,

1055
00:38:42,170 --> 00:38:43,287
you know, I wanted to bring that into

1056
00:38:43,526 --> 00:38:44,026
Paso

1057
00:38:44,577 --> 00:38:46,668
And and again, it it was

1058
00:38:47,043 --> 00:38:48,554
okay, but not great. Mh.

1059
00:38:49,827 --> 00:38:52,473
You know, and and you know, not everybody.

1060
00:38:52,793 --> 00:38:55,750
I didn't wanna, again, have people, you know,

1061
00:38:55,910 --> 00:38:58,147
feel sorry for me, but there were people

1062
00:38:58,147 --> 00:38:59,746
that were noticing that they could tell it

1063
00:38:59,746 --> 00:39:00,385
that I was struggling.

1064
00:39:01,516 --> 00:39:04,141
And 1 1 friend that, you know, he's

1065
00:39:04,141 --> 00:39:06,050
just a social media friend, like, a lot

1066
00:39:06,050 --> 00:39:07,322
of our friends are these days. Right?

1067
00:39:08,610 --> 00:39:11,154
He's a millionaire runs a successful trucking company.

1068
00:39:12,029 --> 00:39:13,301
He reached out to me and send me

1069
00:39:13,301 --> 00:39:14,891
a message joe. He's like, hey, man. If

1070
00:39:14,891 --> 00:39:16,574
you wanna talk, I'll I'll know, I'd love

1071
00:39:16,574 --> 00:39:17,606
to talk to you and help you out

1072
00:39:17,606 --> 00:39:18,795
as much as I possibly can.

1073
00:39:19,588 --> 00:39:21,358
So we got the talk and and,

1074
00:39:21,809 --> 00:39:24,134
you know, we talked for a good hour

1075
00:39:24,364 --> 00:39:25,800
and he says, Joe, you know, talk to

1076
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,836
me about your financials,

1077
00:39:27,474 --> 00:39:29,628
were you at, you know, what we... You

1078
00:39:29,628 --> 00:39:31,782
know, how was your financials before you started

1079
00:39:31,782 --> 00:39:32,500
were you at now?

1080
00:39:34,269 --> 00:39:34,828
He's like, Joe,

1081
00:39:35,466 --> 00:39:36,742
why did you open up your food truck?

1082
00:39:37,221 --> 00:39:39,056
He he flat out told me why did

1083
00:39:39,056 --> 00:39:40,172
you open up your food truck if you're

1084
00:39:40,172 --> 00:39:41,050
were doing so well?

1085
00:39:41,624 --> 00:39:43,461
You know, just doing Youtube alone. And I

1086
00:39:43,461 --> 00:39:46,098
don't mind sharing numbers with anybody, Greg. I

1087
00:39:46,257 --> 00:39:47,695
I think that I'm pretty open an open

1088
00:39:47,695 --> 00:39:49,628
book with you. You know, I was I

1089
00:39:49,628 --> 00:39:51,546
was making upwards of 15000 dollars a month

1090
00:39:51,546 --> 00:39:52,345
on Youtube alone.

1091
00:39:53,064 --> 00:39:56,420
Just Youtube. Okay? And and I had a

1092
00:39:56,420 --> 00:39:57,240
corporate job

1093
00:39:57,632 --> 00:39:59,061
So... But it got to the point where

1094
00:39:59,140 --> 00:40:00,807
I was making more money on Youtube than

1095
00:40:00,886 --> 00:40:02,076
I was at my corporate job.

1096
00:40:03,505 --> 00:40:05,171
So I left my corporate job to do

1097
00:40:05,489 --> 00:40:05,648
Youtube.

1098
00:40:07,015 --> 00:40:08,288
But I also left it to open up

1099
00:40:08,288 --> 00:40:09,664
a food truck. And

1100
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:11,711
because the food truck was taking so much

1101
00:40:11,711 --> 00:40:12,348
of my time,

1102
00:40:14,193 --> 00:40:16,023
you know, Youtube kinda took the back burner

1103
00:40:16,023 --> 00:40:17,319
a little bit. And,

1104
00:40:17,774 --> 00:40:19,604
you know, still making money on Youtube By

1105
00:40:19,604 --> 00:40:21,354
I still am making money today. It's just

1106
00:40:21,354 --> 00:40:22,706
not like it was before.

1107
00:40:24,315 --> 00:40:26,468
So, you know, when when this gentleman that

1108
00:40:26,468 --> 00:40:27,664
that was helping me out.

1109
00:40:28,940 --> 00:40:30,215
Told me that I really got... You know,

1110
00:40:30,375 --> 00:40:31,172
I really got to think thinking and he's,

1111
00:40:31,252 --> 00:40:32,937
like, why? Am I doing? Why am I

1112
00:40:32,937 --> 00:40:36,034
killing myself? You know, all, these long hours

1113
00:40:36,034 --> 00:40:37,067
of cooking and barbecue?

1114
00:40:38,496 --> 00:40:40,139
Why am I doing this? You know, Am

1115
00:40:40,420 --> 00:40:42,099
And I think I'm just passionate about it.

1116
00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:43,299
You know, that's why I wanted to do

1117
00:40:43,299 --> 00:40:44,819
it. That's the answer. I was just passionate

1118
00:40:44,819 --> 00:40:46,819
about it. Or let's dig into that answer

1119
00:40:46,819 --> 00:40:48,339
a little bit more. I'm no doctor Phil.

1120
00:40:49,632 --> 00:40:50,609
Are you saying

1121
00:40:51,224 --> 00:40:52,919
you're passionate about it

1122
00:40:53,295 --> 00:40:56,161
and you were busting your ass because you

1123
00:40:56,161 --> 00:40:57,458
really didn't wanna fail

1124
00:40:58,168 --> 00:40:58,668
or

1125
00:40:59,046 --> 00:41:02,339
in reality, did you not wanna tell people

1126
00:41:03,195 --> 00:41:04,153
you are going to fail?

1127
00:41:05,844 --> 00:41:07,922
No. I didn't... At failure was not an

1128
00:41:07,922 --> 00:41:09,680
option for me going in. I was really

1129
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,958
passionate and I wanted to make it work.

1130
00:41:11,438 --> 00:41:13,835
You know, it's it's the analogy, Greg, that

1131
00:41:13,994 --> 00:41:15,599
I I think that can best described this

1132
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:18,085
is when you have a 15 year old

1133
00:41:18,459 --> 00:41:21,240
dog at home. And he's limp, he can

1134
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:23,483
barely walk. He's not eating. You know, he's

1135
00:41:23,483 --> 00:41:25,239
barely drinking any water. You know that it's

1136
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:26,916
time. You know that it's time to, hey,

1137
00:41:26,995 --> 00:41:28,512
man. We gotta take a trip to the

1138
00:41:28,512 --> 00:41:29,949
old vet and

1139
00:41:30,588 --> 00:41:31,785
say, say our goodbye.

1140
00:41:32,438 --> 00:41:34,431
But you love that dog so much that

1141
00:41:34,431 --> 00:41:36,026
it hurts you to even think about that.

1142
00:41:36,185 --> 00:41:36,345
Right?

1143
00:41:37,222 --> 00:41:38,577
But then it's... It it it comes to

1144
00:41:38,577 --> 00:41:39,932
the time point in time where it's like,

1145
00:41:40,012 --> 00:41:41,859
hey man, we're going to the vet getting

1146
00:41:41,859 --> 00:41:43,770
the car. It... It's done. We're done it.

1147
00:41:44,009 --> 00:41:45,681
It's time to say goodbye. And and it

1148
00:41:45,681 --> 00:41:48,547
hurts, man. It hurts so bad. People don't

1149
00:41:48,547 --> 00:41:48,706
understand.

1150
00:41:49,517 --> 00:41:50,789
But it's the best thing that you could

1151
00:41:50,789 --> 00:41:51,925
possibly do for

1152
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:54,311
for your animal and in my case for

1153
00:41:54,526 --> 00:41:55,083
my business.

1154
00:41:58,675 --> 00:42:01,296
Let's talk about the Youtube first a Second

1155
00:42:01,296 --> 00:42:02,012
since you brought it up.

1156
00:42:02,965 --> 00:42:03,680
You mentioned...

1157
00:42:04,967 --> 00:42:06,262
At the height, you're doing

1158
00:42:06,637 --> 00:42:08,546
15 k on Youtube a month.

1159
00:42:09,420 --> 00:42:12,045
Of no mathematician, but that's, like, 50000000000 dollars

1160
00:42:12,045 --> 00:42:12,363
a year.

1161
00:42:13,255 --> 00:42:14,534
Is 15 k,

1162
00:42:15,335 --> 00:42:17,974
what you're clearing off or I know there's,

1163
00:42:18,054 --> 00:42:20,534
like, a percentages that Youtube takes and stuff

1164
00:42:20,534 --> 00:42:22,789
like that. So for the folks, that always

1165
00:42:22,789 --> 00:42:25,110
hear the term Youtube money, but have no

1166
00:42:25,110 --> 00:42:27,190
idea what Youtube money really is. What are

1167
00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:30,070
the real figures that make up Youtube money?

1168
00:42:31,124 --> 00:42:33,037
No. That's take home money. That's that's

1169
00:42:34,552 --> 00:42:36,465
being deposited to your account every month.

1170
00:42:38,059 --> 00:42:38,776
It's tax free.

1171
00:42:39,588 --> 00:42:41,975
So you have to be careful and and

1172
00:42:41,975 --> 00:42:44,442
set aside 35 percent. Don't know that. Not

1173
00:42:44,442 --> 00:42:47,322
tag free Sam. It's like, you have to

1174
00:42:47,322 --> 00:42:49,469
pay tax on that. Not tax Not free.

1175
00:42:49,708 --> 00:42:52,331
Thanks. Yeah. That doesn't include they... They're not

1176
00:42:52,331 --> 00:42:54,717
taking out taxes. Let me rephrase that. So...

1177
00:42:56,003 --> 00:42:57,434
You know, you do have to set aside

1178
00:42:57,434 --> 00:42:58,172
35

1179
00:42:58,387 --> 00:43:00,294
percent of that that you're gonna pay in

1180
00:43:00,294 --> 00:43:00,691
taxes.

1181
00:43:01,247 --> 00:43:02,916
You know. So you find a way not

1182
00:43:02,916 --> 00:43:04,281
not to cheat the sis them, but, you

1183
00:43:04,281 --> 00:43:06,346
know, you've gotta spend money so that you

1184
00:43:06,346 --> 00:43:07,775
don't have to pay so much back. You

1185
00:43:07,775 --> 00:43:09,840
know? So, you know, I start buying really

1186
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,507
nice lighting, really nice cameras.

1187
00:43:12,158 --> 00:43:14,868
You know, mike's, etcetera, you know, to help

1188
00:43:14,868 --> 00:43:16,462
offset that because, you know, they'll they'll get

1189
00:43:16,462 --> 00:43:17,099
you on taxes.

1190
00:43:19,982 --> 00:43:20,775
So was the real...

1191
00:43:21,409 --> 00:43:24,024
Is the... What we call top line revenue

1192
00:43:24,024 --> 00:43:26,005
number on that? Is it 30 grand a

1193
00:43:26,005 --> 00:43:28,010
month, and they're taking half? For what what

1194
00:43:28,010 --> 00:43:29,609
kind of a percentage does Youtube take from

1195
00:43:29,609 --> 00:43:31,690
a creator these days? Oh, yeah. It's it's

1196
00:43:31,690 --> 00:43:33,609
it's it's close to that if not even

1197
00:43:33,609 --> 00:43:34,569
more than that.

1198
00:43:35,625 --> 00:43:37,784
You know, the way the way youtubers get

1199
00:43:37,784 --> 00:43:39,545
paid is through running ads on your videos,

1200
00:43:39,704 --> 00:43:41,164
You know, we get to select

1201
00:43:41,464 --> 00:43:43,235
where we want the ads you know, I'll

1202
00:43:43,393 --> 00:43:45,140
I'll usually put 4 ads in my videos,

1203
00:43:45,775 --> 00:43:46,966
1 in the beginning 1 at the end

1204
00:43:46,966 --> 00:43:49,030
and 2 in the middle somewhere. And those

1205
00:43:49,030 --> 00:43:51,094
companies that are advertising, you know, the Barbecue

1206
00:43:51,174 --> 00:43:52,861
Central Show to wanna an add on Youtube.

1207
00:43:53,021 --> 00:43:55,095
Well, you know, you're paying a certain amount

1208
00:43:55,095 --> 00:43:56,371
while I get a certain percentage of that.

1209
00:43:56,531 --> 00:43:58,366
It's a small percentage, but it adds up

1210
00:43:58,366 --> 00:44:00,528
when wants And that's why it's important to

1211
00:44:00,528 --> 00:44:02,038
to have a good following. You know, I'm

1212
00:44:02,117 --> 00:44:04,024
I'm almost at 280000,

1213
00:44:04,182 --> 00:44:04,841
I think

1214
00:44:05,215 --> 00:44:07,440
subscribers on Youtube, and and it's important because

1215
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:08,416
once you build

1216
00:44:09,202 --> 00:44:11,582
that that fan base, you know, and you

1217
00:44:11,582 --> 00:44:13,407
put out a video, you know, it can

1218
00:44:13,407 --> 00:44:15,494
really pay off for you, you know, pretty

1219
00:44:15,549 --> 00:44:15,708
good.

1220
00:44:16,598 --> 00:44:18,296
Is it likes? Is it

1221
00:44:18,914 --> 00:44:20,212
views? What's

1222
00:44:20,670 --> 00:44:22,266
what's getting into the money? It's views.

1223
00:44:23,065 --> 00:44:25,001
It's views. Yeah. Subscribers either

1224
00:44:26,032 --> 00:44:28,179
not subscribers. No. Because you can have a

1225
00:44:28,179 --> 00:44:30,407
ton of subscribers, and, you know, before I

1226
00:44:30,407 --> 00:44:32,809
let... Before I stepped away from Youtube, to

1227
00:44:32,809 --> 00:44:34,485
run my my food truck, you know, I

1228
00:44:34,485 --> 00:44:35,603
was getting views like crazy.

1229
00:44:36,162 --> 00:44:38,877
And now, you know, I release AAA video

1230
00:44:38,877 --> 00:44:41,032
and I'll get 15000 views, and I've got

1231
00:44:41,032 --> 00:44:42,150
280000

1232
00:44:42,150 --> 00:44:44,626
of subscribers. I'm not getting 288000 views. Yeah.

1233
00:44:45,340 --> 00:44:47,007
And sometimes, you know, those videos will go

1234
00:44:47,007 --> 00:44:48,832
viral and you'll you'll get a million views,

1235
00:44:49,546 --> 00:44:51,030
but that hasn't happened in a while and

1236
00:44:51,229 --> 00:44:52,588
know, now that, obviously, I've got a lot

1237
00:44:52,588 --> 00:44:53,706
more time in my hand. That's what I'm

1238
00:44:53,706 --> 00:44:55,863
gonna do is revamp my Youtube channel. If

1239
00:44:55,863 --> 00:44:57,621
you're going back to Youtube full time.

1240
00:44:58,500 --> 00:45:00,500
You Yep. That. And, you know, I've got

1241
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:01,769
my hands and other things too. You know,

1242
00:45:01,929 --> 00:45:04,628
I'm I'm I'm an ambassador for a few

1243
00:45:04,628 --> 00:45:05,842
companies, and I'm also

1244
00:45:07,106 --> 00:45:09,118
manufacture rep for a pellet

1245
00:45:09,574 --> 00:45:10,290
brand that's out there,

1246
00:45:11,086 --> 00:45:12,837
pretty neat to the market, but we're pretty

1247
00:45:12,837 --> 00:45:14,842
excited about it and and you know, the

1248
00:45:14,842 --> 00:45:16,751
owner of the company believes in me, and

1249
00:45:16,751 --> 00:45:18,104
and we've done a pretty good job of

1250
00:45:18,104 --> 00:45:20,116
selling pellets to in

1251
00:45:20,492 --> 00:45:24,089
large quantities to online companies or if you

1252
00:45:24,089 --> 00:45:25,847
own a barbecue store, you know, that's that's

1253
00:45:25,847 --> 00:45:27,206
my customer, you, you know that I'm gonna

1254
00:45:27,206 --> 00:45:28,484
go after. So that's what I'm gonna be

1255
00:45:28,484 --> 00:45:28,984
doing

1256
00:45:29,843 --> 00:45:32,001
that in the Youtube and, you know, little

1257
00:45:32,001 --> 00:45:32,720
fishing here and there too.

1258
00:45:36,011 --> 00:45:36,831
Why not

1259
00:45:37,609 --> 00:45:38,728
keep the corporate jo.

1260
00:45:39,367 --> 00:45:40,805
Never have opened the food truck.

1261
00:45:41,539 --> 00:45:43,634
Keep the corporate job, get that money

1262
00:45:44,091 --> 00:45:46,085
and do the Youtube and continue to blow

1263
00:45:46,085 --> 00:45:46,564
that out.

1264
00:45:47,202 --> 00:45:49,196
I understand that you were making more on

1265
00:45:49,435 --> 00:45:51,110
Youtube than your corporate job, but big deal.

1266
00:45:52,164 --> 00:45:55,224
Were you all though was it cutting into

1267
00:45:55,525 --> 00:45:57,844
your corporate job life as well?

1268
00:45:58,899 --> 00:46:00,577
Yeah. It it was, you know, my corporate

1269
00:46:00,577 --> 00:46:02,495
job was pretty demanding. You know, we we

1270
00:46:02,495 --> 00:46:04,413
traveled a lot. I traveled a lot. You

1271
00:46:04,413 --> 00:46:06,171
know, Was that a town, pretty much the

1272
00:46:06,171 --> 00:46:07,450
whole week, You know, come back in a

1273
00:46:07,450 --> 00:46:09,302
town and you know, obviously they wanna spend

1274
00:46:09,302 --> 00:46:10,818
time with my family, but I also have

1275
00:46:10,818 --> 00:46:12,175
to film some youtube videos. So it makes

1276
00:46:12,175 --> 00:46:13,293
it a little bit more difficult.

1277
00:46:13,851 --> 00:46:15,687
And at that point, you know, when I

1278
00:46:15,687 --> 00:46:17,377
left my corporate job if if I didn't

1279
00:46:17,377 --> 00:46:19,210
open up the food truck, I think I

1280
00:46:19,210 --> 00:46:20,565
would have been okay, You know, because I

1281
00:46:20,565 --> 00:46:23,514
would... I probably would have doubled the subscribers

1282
00:46:23,594 --> 00:46:25,605
I have right now because the more you

1283
00:46:25,605 --> 00:46:26,085
feed

1284
00:46:26,565 --> 00:46:28,565
Youtube and the algorithm, the more your channel's

1285
00:46:28,565 --> 00:46:30,164
gonna grow, just like anything.

1286
00:46:31,284 --> 00:46:33,135
But had I not opened food truck. I

1287
00:46:33,135 --> 00:46:34,567
think that I'd in better position. But, again,

1288
00:46:34,726 --> 00:46:36,396
I don't regret not opening up the food

1289
00:46:36,396 --> 00:46:37,827
truck It was an experience and something that

1290
00:46:37,986 --> 00:46:40,452
I would, you know, I could, you know,

1291
00:46:41,024 --> 00:46:42,697
put on my resume 1 day, you know?

1292
00:46:43,574 --> 00:46:46,225
Could you have somehow leverage shooting content

1293
00:46:47,398 --> 00:46:48,036
via the...

1294
00:46:48,688 --> 00:46:50,998
Barbecue truck and put it on Youtube and

1295
00:46:50,998 --> 00:46:52,192
continued to foster both.

1296
00:46:55,059 --> 00:46:56,833
That was the plan. I was doing

1297
00:46:57,304 --> 00:46:59,296
I I did several videos from my food

1298
00:46:59,296 --> 00:47:00,333
truck, you know, a day in the life

1299
00:47:00,333 --> 00:47:02,166
of a food truck, you know, the ins

1300
00:47:02,166 --> 00:47:03,760
and outs of what happens and, you know,

1301
00:47:03,919 --> 00:47:06,250
how we prep and And, you know, how

1302
00:47:06,250 --> 00:47:08,089
we make our sausages to supply the food

1303
00:47:08,089 --> 00:47:09,849
truck, etcetera. You know, so Got a few

1304
00:47:09,849 --> 00:47:11,130
of those videos on my Youtube channel.

1305
00:47:12,329 --> 00:47:14,329
And, you know, the plan was to do

1306
00:47:14,329 --> 00:47:16,763
that, but because it got so slow

1307
00:47:17,541 --> 00:47:19,459
towards the end, it was just my brother

1308
00:47:19,459 --> 00:47:21,297
and myself running the food truck. We didn't

1309
00:47:21,297 --> 00:47:22,735
have any more employees. It was just us

1310
00:47:22,735 --> 00:47:22,895
too.

1311
00:47:23,629 --> 00:47:26,023
And I couldn't hire anybody because the business

1312
00:47:26,023 --> 00:47:28,199
just wasn't there. You know, so

1313
00:47:28,657 --> 00:47:30,891
I was cashier and and doing a lot

1314
00:47:30,891 --> 00:47:33,059
of the prep and and my brother was

1315
00:47:33,059 --> 00:47:35,049
pretty much the meat slice, and he'd cook

1316
00:47:35,049 --> 00:47:36,721
anything that went on the grill, he'd cook

1317
00:47:36,721 --> 00:47:38,893
it, but he also had to learn

1318
00:47:39,349 --> 00:47:39,986
the register.

1319
00:47:40,479 --> 00:47:42,553
You know, so it it made us, you

1320
00:47:42,553 --> 00:47:43,930
know, a lot more universal

1321
00:47:44,467 --> 00:47:46,222
because we had to do more things, but,

1322
00:47:46,302 --> 00:47:47,418
you know, that's what we had to do

1323
00:47:47,418 --> 00:47:48,934
in order to, you know, keep the food

1324
00:47:48,934 --> 00:47:49,412
truck open.

1325
00:47:50,943 --> 00:47:53,336
You gonna cater for people that call and

1326
00:47:53,336 --> 00:47:54,852
say, hey, Joe. Could you do a a

1327
00:47:54,852 --> 00:47:56,288
little cater for me? Because you got that

1328
00:47:56,288 --> 00:47:56,927
big ass pit?

1329
00:47:58,217 --> 00:48:00,286
Yeah. I had 2 pits Greg. I had

1330
00:48:00,286 --> 00:48:01,559
got 2000 gallon. Right.

1331
00:48:02,673 --> 00:48:04,264
So Any going up for sale?

1332
00:48:05,713 --> 00:48:07,627
1 of them, I just sold it off

1333
00:48:07,627 --> 00:48:09,143
to a gentleman up and up in

1334
00:48:09,781 --> 00:48:11,615
he's up in Washington. Heartache.

1335
00:48:12,971 --> 00:48:15,179
Yeah. So I had opened up, I had

1336
00:48:15,298 --> 00:48:17,521
ordered another pit, you know, with the anticipation

1337
00:48:17,521 --> 00:48:18,632
of having a brick and mortar.

1338
00:48:19,982 --> 00:48:21,728
But since I ordered it, you know, these

1339
00:48:21,728 --> 00:48:24,284
pits take months to to build. Well, you

1340
00:48:24,284 --> 00:48:26,034
know, the pitch ready and it's like, okay,

1341
00:48:26,272 --> 00:48:27,624
I'm not gonna open up the restaurant after

1342
00:48:27,624 --> 00:48:29,295
all, but it still shows up while, I

1343
00:48:29,295 --> 00:48:30,647
gotta pay the guy. Right? I ordered it.

1344
00:48:31,299 --> 00:48:32,814
So I put it up for sale, and,

1345
00:48:32,894 --> 00:48:34,170
you know, I sold it for exactly what

1346
00:48:34,329 --> 00:48:34,728
I paid for it.

1347
00:48:35,924 --> 00:48:37,439
And they're come... They're gonna come pick it

1348
00:48:37,439 --> 00:48:37,519
up.

1349
00:48:38,316 --> 00:48:40,092
The other pit that I have

1350
00:48:42,472 --> 00:48:43,903
so this is kind of a news flash.

1351
00:48:44,222 --> 00:48:45,494
You're the first to hear this. Oh, yeah.

1352
00:48:45,653 --> 00:48:47,744

and he'll be running the exact same menu

1367
00:49:17,658 --> 00:49:18,535

00:49:21,805 --> 00:49:22,864
He's gonna use

1370
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,155
seconds. Yep. Wait a second.

1371
00:49:26,206 --> 00:49:28,434
So you're not shutting down after all.

1372
00:49:28,992 --> 00:49:31,380
Oh my choices. You give me 50 minutes

1373
00:49:31,380 --> 00:49:33,052

1377
00:49:41,945 --> 00:49:42,445
outlandish.

1378
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,383
Can't wait until the amount correspondence get on

Unbelievable.

00:49:51,259 --> 00:49:52,053
different name,

1383
00:49:53,585 --> 00:49:55,025
you know, he might change the menu up

1384
00:49:55,025 --> 00:49:56,065
a little bit, but he's gonna run some

1385
00:49:56,065 --> 00:49:57,424
of the same recipes that I was running.

1386
00:49:58,545 --> 00:50:00,464

00:50:24,833 --> 00:50:26,982
No. Oh my gosh this is mind blowing.

1399
00:50:27,221 --> 00:50:28,653

1402
00:50:33,189 --> 00:50:33,746
different turn.

1403
00:50:34,636 --> 00:50:36,782
Does he know that he show still right?

1404
00:50:37,418 --> 00:50:38,054
Yep. Yep.

1405
00:50:39,962 --> 00:50:42,187
Yeah. You'll have him on hold told him.

1406
00:50:42,346 --> 00:50:42,505
Yeah.

1407
00:50:43,474 --> 00:50:45,795
So my brother is 48.

1408
00:50:46,034 --> 00:50:47,574
Yeah. How you. So

1409
00:50:48,114 --> 00:50:48,835
I'm 51.

1410
00:50:49,234 --> 00:50:51,795
Alright? So few years younger, you know? So

1411
00:50:51,795 --> 00:50:53,486
he's he's you know, he was my pit

1412
00:50:53,486 --> 00:50:54,784
master greg, and and,

1413
00:50:55,161 --> 00:50:56,915
you know, he he knows how to trim

1414
00:50:56,915 --> 00:50:58,430
brisket. He knows how to cook them from

1415
00:50:58,430 --> 00:51:00,264
start to finish ribs, everything. He knows how

1416
00:51:00,264 --> 00:51:01,221
to do it all by himself.

1417
00:51:02,353 --> 00:51:04,588
So I I think... And I don't think

1418
00:51:04,588 --> 00:51:06,903
that he needs the revenue that I needed

1419
00:51:06,903 --> 00:51:07,382
to survive.

1420
00:51:08,420 --> 00:51:10,576
So... He's gotta sell more than 2 brisket,

1421
00:51:10,735 --> 00:51:10,895
Joe.

1422
00:51:11,627 --> 00:51:13,454
Yeah. He's he's going to. He's got to.

1423
00:51:14,248 --> 00:51:14,748
So,

1424
00:51:15,202 --> 00:51:16,790
you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna help him

1425
00:51:16,790 --> 00:51:18,300

00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:18,935

1440
00:51:48,476 --> 00:51:49,912
As soon as the point of sale system

1441
00:51:49,912 --> 00:51:51,427

1442

phone with toast, and we have an an

1443
00:51:53,581 --> 00:51:56,133

00:51:56,133 --> 00:51:57,822
set up by tomorrow and maybe in a

1445
00:51:57,822 --> 00:51:59,411

1450
00:52:08,018 --> 00:52:09,775
talk him out of this. This is this

1451
00:52:09,775 --> 00:52:12,092

1452
00:52:12,092 --> 00:52:12,731

1453
00:52:13,784 --> 00:52:15,713
What none of them. Single guy He's

1454
00:52:16,086 --> 00:52:19,341
single guy. No you know, side piece somewhere

1455
00:52:19,341 --> 00:52:21,088
he's gotta contend with or anything like this.

1456
00:52:21,896 --> 00:52:24,041
Illegitimate running around that are gonna show up.

1457
00:52:24,358 --> 00:52:25,471
Nothing like that? Nope.

1458
00:52:26,106 --> 00:52:27,059
None of that. Wow.

1459
00:52:27,615 --> 00:52:27,774
So...

1460
00:52:29,362 --> 00:52:31,210
Wow. Well, I mean, I thought I got

1461
00:52:31,210 --> 00:52:33,364
a good breaking new story from Rash Phillips

1462
00:52:33,364 --> 00:52:34,879
a couple weeks ago, but this 1 takes

1463
00:52:34,879 --> 00:52:35,278
the kick.

1464
00:52:36,076 --> 00:52:37,931
Anything else, Joe, before

1465
00:52:38,309 --> 00:52:39,186
I cut you loose tonight?

1466
00:52:40,474 --> 00:52:42,141
No. You know, I just wanna to, you

1467
00:52:42,141 --> 00:52:44,047
know, take the opportunity to thank my customers

1468
00:52:44,047 --> 00:52:46,350
that supported me for for those 2 years

1469
00:52:46,350 --> 00:52:48,255
that we were open, and, again, no regrets

1470
00:52:48,255 --> 00:52:50,811
here, and And again, if anybody has any

1471
00:52:50,811 --> 00:52:53,192
questions on, you know, things to do and

1472
00:52:53,192 --> 00:52:55,120
not to do, obviously, when it comes to

1473
00:52:55,493 --> 00:52:57,239
to a barbecue food truck get a hold

1474
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:58,845
of me. You know, I'll definitely help you

1475
00:52:58,845 --> 00:53:01,474
out. I certainly appreciate all the inside, all

1476
00:53:01,474 --> 00:53:04,740
the can, all the honesty. You've never held

1477
00:53:04,740 --> 00:53:05,718
back figures

1478
00:53:06,253 --> 00:53:06,753
or

1479
00:53:07,384 --> 00:53:09,952
points of thought or anything like that. So

1480
00:53:10,327 --> 00:53:12,554
from a host perspective, I certainly appreciate it,

1481
00:53:13,032 --> 00:53:15,338
wish it would be ending in a different

1482
00:53:15,338 --> 00:53:15,577
way,

1483
00:53:16,387 --> 00:53:17,578
certainly didn't wanna see this.

1484
00:53:18,293 --> 00:53:19,564
I don't know if I expected it or

1485
00:53:19,564 --> 00:53:21,232
not, but I... I'm certainly sad to see

1486
00:53:21,232 --> 00:53:23,297
it. But if this makes the best sense

1487
00:53:23,297 --> 00:53:24,979
for you then it makes the best sense

1488
00:53:24,979 --> 00:53:27,541
for me, and I fully support it. So

1489
00:53:28,389 --> 00:53:30,793
we'll be looking for the revamped to Youtube

1490
00:53:31,007 --> 00:53:33,247
and make sure you get me Martin's number,

1491
00:53:33,486 --> 00:53:36,218
As p, so we can divert it as,

1492
00:53:37,552 --> 00:53:38,748
avert a disaster,

1493
00:53:39,625 --> 00:53:40,980
as it might be coming down the pike,

1494
00:53:41,154 --> 00:53:43,464
in blazing fashion. Joe, always appreciate the time.

1495
00:53:43,624 --> 00:53:44,500

00:58:23,809 --> 00:58:26,456
Unfortunate closing of smoke and Joe's pit barbecue

1592
00:58:27,403 --> 00:58:28,516
But as they say,

1593
00:58:29,708 --> 00:58:32,196

1594
00:58:32,571 --> 00:58:33,071

00:58:58,354 --> 00:59:00,023
the next hour and just think.

1605
00:59:00,754 --> 00:59:01,950
