  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna talk about some of the things that has been going on lately and um all you know all what's been going on and everything and all that stuff.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: But first, man, I want to get to something that's you know personal to me as a you know culinary and as a chef in this business.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: I got a couple tips for you when it comes to barbecuing uh your meats and stuff today, if you or tomorrow, or actually on July 4th, whatever day you are listening to this.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I got four tips for you guys.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, hope you uh take the time to write these things down or try to keep these to memory because uh these are four things that are important to you when it comes to barbecuing.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Number one, too many coals.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever, whenever you put if well, if you are a a uh charcoal user as opposed to a propane user, one man up, get you some charcoals, and just go ahead and do that.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Why not?
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: I don't understand why you're gonna use propane.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to cook, cook inside.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm saying.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: If you're gonna cook outside and barbecue, get those coals ready.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: And by that, what I when I say that, I mean don't that's too many.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: Don't put too many in the damn barbecue.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's my problem today.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Today I barbecued and I don't burn 60% of it.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm a culinarian.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I when I was pouring the coals, I looked at it and said, man, that seems like a lot.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: But it's not gonna hurt nothing.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I should have second-guessed myself and not put as many coals.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: I put them coals in and then it lit up.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so uh yeah, don't put too many coals in there.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's number one.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: And number with number two, same thing that goes with number one.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need that much lighter fluid.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Again, you use if you you out there using charcoal, you should know you don't need that much lighter fluid.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: You you're an experienced person if you're out there adventuring in the charcoal business.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: I don't understand, but I would never understand propane people, like I said previously.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: Propane people, if you cook inside, go ahead, just cook inside.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: It just don't make no sense why you're cooking outside with gas.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's what the in that's what the oven is stuffed for inside.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: I had to get some water in it.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: Easy on the lighter fluid.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need that much.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Once you get your fire started, or hold on, let me rewind.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: Make sure you spray left to right, go across, light your fire, then once the fire is lit on all the coals, let it burn for a little bit, then smother it.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: Let the let the uh let the inside heat of the barbecue good up, and then you're good to go.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: So that's number two.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Number three, this is one of the most important ones.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: So please, if you got time to write this down, write this down.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: Ready?
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Meat is not a flavor.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: Meat requires seasoning.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: Let me repeat that one more time.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: Meat is not a flavor.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: Your meat requires seasoning.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: And um, here's the easy one.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: First, one of the first rules of seasoning, try get this salt and pepper.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: That works wonders, I'm telling you.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: And if you are if you're advanced, go ahead and use onion powder or granulated onion.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: That works too.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: And if you if you're feeling bold, if you're depending on what the food is, uh garlic.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: Garlic works too.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: Garlic is great on a lot of things.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Those are the those are the my in my opinion, those are the four basics.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: If you have chicken, if you have beef, there's something called Montreal chicken and Montreal steak.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: That works wonders.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: Trust me.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a I'm a chef.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: I know I kind of know what I'm doing.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: Except today, I burnt the hell out of that chicken.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: But also, with seasonings, you have something called marinades.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Um, easy, easy thing about marinades, they already, they already, you can buy McKrog is already made for you.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't know what a marinade is, you can make one out of oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, onion powder, all that stuff.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: You can put it in a bag, let it soak, let your meat soak in those in those seasonings and those flavors, and bam, you got a marinade.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the thing with marinades is that it depends on what you're making.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Some of them have sugars in it or like have the sweet nature to it.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: So those burn.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: So again, this all goes back to number one is having too many coals.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Limit your coal, limit your charcoals.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: And you won't burn your food.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: Last but not least is temperatures.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: Make sure your chicken is done.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: I hope everybody knows chicken is done at 165.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: When your chicken's at 165, it's done.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: Stick a thermometer in it, see if it holds for 10 seconds.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: If it holds, if it doesn't go below 165, you're good to go.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: Beef is 160.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm thirsty today.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: Hold on.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, sir.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: Beef is 160.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Fish is 145.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: Vegetables, if you're cooking vegetables, 145.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Those are the things that um when you grill, when you barbecue, those are the four things you need to know.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: Let's recap one more time, one more time.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Don't have too many coals.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need to be on, you know, be easy on the lighter fluid.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: Meat isn't a flavor.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: And your temperatures.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: Make sure you try to you guys temp your foods.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Meat is not a flavor.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: I can't believe that.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: Meat is not a flavor.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how many times I've been over my in-laws' house and my brother-in-law's cooking.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: And that shit just I'm sorry.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: That stuff just tastes so plain, so bad.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: I know I already know what I'm getting for Christmas.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: I would go over to I would go over tomorrow because we're having a 4th of July cookout, but I gotta work.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: And secretly I'm kind of happy that I am because I don't want to go through that.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't know.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's just embarrassing.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: So uh that's my tip on barbecuing.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: The second topic I want to hit today is what's going on with the uh Supreme Court and the whole road versus weight overturn and all that good stuff.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: But it's not nothing, and let me even correct myself.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's not even nothing is good about that at all.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um as an American, a proud American, a veteran of this wonderful uh country of ours, uh we got work to do.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um we definitely have some work to do.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: Just not too many.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I mean, if you just blink, you remember the BLM stuff that was happening when we had the pandemic and everything that was going on there.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: And now it seems that we're attacking women.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: I know people are gonna be like, well, it's not necessarily attacking women, the rights are going back to the states.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: That and that that I don't know, that's all well and good, but let's be honest with you.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: What are they doing?
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: They are trying to illegalize abortions.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: And the th the thing that I don't understand, the thing that I I fail to comprehend is that why is there any regulations against another person's body?
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: We shouldn't be doing that.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we always say the as America is the land of the free, home of the brave, you know, the right to pursue life, liberty, and justice.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: And this just doesn't seem right.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: In my book, it's just not something that these Supreme Court justices are are doing.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: And it is and is, you know, it's not cool.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's not.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not even it's not even worth discussing, except that you know, when I was a younger man and I was, you know, single, whatever, whatnot, I took the responsibility.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: If I was gonna do things like that, I was gonna lay down with somebody, I had the uh mental the mental image, like if I'm gonna do this, that means I'm com I'm committing to what the results of my actions are.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: If you get what I'm saying, like if I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna lay down and sleep with this woman, I'm ready for the consequences of those things.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, with me saying that, I was very cautious with that.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't, I didn't I wasn't slinging yoga, I'm sorry.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't just slinging and banging, I wasn't doing that.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I was very cautious and all that stuff, but that again, that's another story for another podcast uh with that.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: But I was willing to accept the consequences if if I got a if I got a young lady pregnant at that time.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that some of us men that are saying, you know, the way things are saying, things are said, you know, hey Shorty, you know, talking smack and I'll put a baby in you, you know, things like that.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's up to us men to step up, you know, and be honorable in our actions, you know.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: If, you know, the baby daddy thing I know situations happen and I can't speak on that per se.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: But again, I go I fall back on me and what I was what I was on back then to say, hey, look, if I'm willing to do this and commit and do this and not protect myself and have make sure there's some sort of protection for me and her, and I'm willing to be responsible for those actions.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I think a lot of people need to do that.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: So I hopefully um change is coming.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: And when I say that, it goes back to that back line of we gotta get out there and vote.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you gotta be out there and use your voice.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I know like it's gonna be hard to with the Supreme Court, because you could serve forever on the Supreme Court, which is crazy, which is absolutely crazy to think of, but I guess at the same time it's not, I don't know.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's weird that you can serve a lifetime and make epic judgments and make epic laws for as long as you live.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's weird.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Seems like the only person that doesn't do it is a president.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like the senators and Congress and everything.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: How long has Mitch McConnell been in the damn office?
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: Man, you know, those are things that are above my pay grade and everything else, but you know, as a veteran of this country and a patriot, America, we got work to do.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I hope that if you hear this, that you vote, you write your congressman, you write your senator, and tell them the same right.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_00: You again always believe we the people does stand for something.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: But do we exercise that right?
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: We need to.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: That's something that uh we should definitely look into.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: So it's a short episode, but I'm gonna be consistent.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: Because again, my numbers show that if I'm consistent, I get people.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: I get people to listen to me.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm consistent.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: 13 minutes, that's all I need.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's all I need, guys.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: This is the WDM episode 14.
