  Speaker 1: At Opie Radio, we consider our guest part of the family.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: That's why when the great founder Gary Wroke of Ubon's
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Barbecue of Yazoo passed away recently, our entire team was
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: so saddened by the news that we felt it out
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: our obligation to shine a light on this extraordinary man. Sure,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of us know that Gary has the best
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: barbecue recipe going back five generations, and he even gave
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the world a delicious bloody merry mix. But he was
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: also dearly loved by his entire family and community. He'll
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: be missed at the Big Apple Barbecue block party come
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: next year and every year thereafter. It seemed that wherever
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Gary found himself, he became the center of attention, and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: rightly so. You just have to listen to the montage
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that follows to know why. He was old school, a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Southern gentleman, hard worker and knew how to have a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: good time and of course host a good time. This
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: man was one of a kind, the real thing and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a big deal. Indeed, you can go to Ubon's Barbecue
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: web page to learn more. We'll leave a link in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the description, but here's a quote from his loving daughter
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Leslie the Barbecue Princess. Our relationship as a father daughter team,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: while not unique, is rare. My role is as a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: partner in the restaurant, catering and sauce business as well
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: as rib cook chicken cook for the competition team. Daddy
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is kind enough to share his spotlight with me whenever possible. Honestly,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: he's our shining star. He's taught hundreds of people how
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to cook, shared his methods and his ingredients. At this point,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he's one of the grandfathers of barbecue on behalf of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the Westwood One podcast network and Opie Radio. We want
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to thank Gary and the entire Ubon family for being
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: part of our podcast. Our condolences to everyone at U
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Bond's would deep regret for your loss. The world's just
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a little less funny today. But Gary was a man
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: with a great legacy. To put it simply, he left
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: behind a big footprint. Let's honor it now. Here's a
• 2:01

• 2:04
  Speaker 1: summer of twenty eighteen at the Big Apple Barbecue. With

• 2:10
  Speaker 1: had Gary on a number of times in the future.

  Speaker 4: Right there? Yeah, Jerry, once you take us.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Out, guys, I got it. I've just got to say that, Opie.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I've met Carl before, but man, New York people just
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: keep getting better.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Gary, Long live the King Gary of ugh Bonds.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And just for the record, Carl, I love you and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I love you too. Greg. Now that we're all touching
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: peepee tips, now to take care of a little business,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: we'd like to say thank you for some debscribing, downloading, sharing,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: rating US five stars, and for staying involved with Opie
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Radio on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. As Greg mentioned, we've
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: had a lot of fun producing each one of these episodes,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: even if things got a little noisi or windy at times.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I met Opie back in May when Tim introduced us
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: because he wanted a new version of the old intro
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: of men. I certainly wasn't expecting to be as involved
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: in this show as I am. But I also wasn't
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: expecting to marry that hot black chick I met downtown
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: in New York City back in two thousand and four
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: while ruezing. But that's how life happens for the better. No.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: By the way, had Carl asked me to name his
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: new place, I would have told him, please, you have
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to call it the Cuban.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: What else?
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: So this is the end of summer and we want
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to let you know, Mike Opie said as we head
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: into the fall, phase two begins because now we have
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a studio, an actual studio. Of course, don't expect every
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: episode to be a radio broadcast. Greig still wants to
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: hit the streets and visit friends on location. He's got
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: big plans, including fun new guests, the usual suspects, and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: things I'm not allowed to talk about at this time.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: So as we say goodbye to the summer and the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: first phase of this new podcast, we simply want to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: thank you for your support. But stick around because we're
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: just getting started on Opie Radio.
