The Welcome to the American Churchman podcast where we encourage men to live up to their calling that God has given them.

And I am John Harris. I have my co-host with me, Matthew

Pearson today. How are you doing, Matthew? I'm doing good, John. How about yourself?

I am doing great. We had our Thanksgiving last week. I smoked a turkey for the first time,

and it actually turned out pretty good. So I'm happy with myself. Oh, very nice. My dad put me in charge of turkey this year.

So I spatch cocked it.

And then we put it in the oven and I like butter-based it and all that.

And this was like one of the first years where the white meat was actually really juicy.

So we were happy about that.

Yeah, mine was too.

I was surprised.

I thought it was like they say that you're supposed to catch the drippings and put it back on.

I didn't even do that.

And it came out pretty good.

But I also smoked some ribs.

And I think when it came time for leftovers and everyone got their boxes to take home,

no one took turkey home and everyone took ribs home.

So I had like six racks of ribs and I was left with hardly anything.

So those were a bit.

Yeah, I know.

I like ribs.

I like ribs more than turkey.
