Welcome to Malcolm Reed's How to Barbecue Right, a podcast where we talk about barbecue, share recipes, and discuss all things delicious.

And now here's your host, Malcolm and Rochelle Reed.

Hey, welcome back to the How to Barbecue Right podcast.

I'm your host, Malcolm Reed, joined by my lovely and talented wife, Miss Southern Shell, on this side of the table with Michelle. We got a guest today, right? We too. Mark Williams, the current Grand Champion of Galax, Virginia. Hello, Grand Champion. Hello, how are y'all? Mark, heck of a weekend up in Galax, man. It was a a good weekend. We had big time. Yeah, we did.

That was awesome.

That was your first trip to Gailax, wasn't it?

Yeah, it's one thing to go cook a contest and take it all serious and try to win, but it's another thing to where you just go up there and have a blast and you still win. That's right. So, Shil, before we get going today, do we have any housekeeping that we've got to take care of or anything like that?

I know we all, I know we still got our Palmer thing going on.

Yeah, we're still got our Palmer thing. get going today? Do we have any housekeeping that we've got to take care of or anything like

that? I know we all, I know we still got our Palmer thing going on. Yeah, we're still got our

Palmer thing going on. We're still raising money for the Palmer home. Who is the nice

fella that played the guitar for us? Aaron, was that his name? Michael, I can't pronounce his last name,

though. Michael, he gave me $100 cash to donate to the Palmer Home.

Wow, that's awesome.

And I thought that was, you know, I'm a little nervous taking cash from somebody.

He was a cool dude, man.

Yeah, he was.

I didn't know he could play guitar.

He could play the heck out of it.

We'll get into all that.

Michael.

Thank you so much, Michael, that money is going to the podcast or to the Palmer home. So I really appreciate that. Yeah, one thing about the Palmer, we have reached our goal. We've surpassed our goal. Yes. But we're going to keep on going until the first to Labor Day, which is just a few weeks. I mean, you know, we've got another month. So let's, let's keep, keep going, donate money to the Palmer Home. But also, if you're in, I guess, the DeSota County, Memphis area, the Palmer Home has an event. They're selling tickets for now. It's going to be cool. It is sunflowers and shotguns. It's going to be a team skeet shoot. and we're doing the lunch for it. That's why it's going to be cool. So if you're into shooting shotguns and you want to help support the Palmer Home, go to palmerhome.org, I guess. And you can, there's information on there, how to put a team in, what all, you know, what all it's about. But that's a cool event. First time we've been a part of it. It's a very good time. And tomorrow, City Hall Cheesecake is doing cheesecake. If you buy a cheesecake, it goes to the Palmer Home. That's right. Five dollars. Check them out on their Facebook page, I guess. City Hall Cheesecake is the best cheesecake.
