Hey, everybody, welcome to from the kitchen table.

I am Sean Duffy, along with my co-hosts for the podcast, my partner in life and my wife,

Rachel Campbell's Duffy. Sean, it's so great to be back at our kitchen table and my wife, Rachel Campbell, Stuffy.

Sean, it's so great to be back at our kitchen table. And literally, this is like a Thanksgiving

table. It is. It's a Thanksgiving table. We thought, who do we want to have as we all are

thinking about the holidays, thinking about Thanksgiving and our families and food? What, what name

comes to mind to you, Sean? The Mclemore's. The Mclemore's. And today we have John and John. It is family and food is the Mclemore's. That's like that is their title. Yeah, that is like it could just be like their middle names. Yeah, that's our motto. Yes, it's your motto. So John and John, but also we're so lucky to have with us, Tanya, John. Hello. She's. Beautiful wife, Tanya. She doesn't, you don't call her Tanya. You call her Mama Mac. Mama Mac. Mama Mac. I love it. What I've just learned in the first 30 seconds of this podcast is I don't matter. No, you don't. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. You're the candy. Oh, the candy. I'll tell you that. So. Well, that's what Mama Max says that, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, I'm sure she does. She calls me daddy. Daddy. Well, actually, let's start there because one of the things, we talk a lot about the Maclemore's and food and Masterbuilt and all the food they make for our show that makes everybody want to go and buy all the Master Built products and start cooking with their families.

But there is a story behind this family.

And we're going to talk about the company a little bit. Maybe we start there,

because I really, but I really want to make sure we leave time, John, for the love story. Because I do know the love story, and it's really, really cute. So we'll get to that. But first. But one other thing, I care about the love story. I care about the company, but I also want to talk about turkey. Yeah, we are going to talk about the best way to do your Thanksgiving turkey.

We talked about a little bit on the show this past weekend, but we're going to, we'll start with the company. Okay. So, Masterbuilt, and it is a really good love story, not only with Masterbuilt, but as Tanya comes into the picture as we started our company, but I'll never forget,

I'm 8 years old, I'm in the backyard, and my dad, Dawson McLemore, who founded Masterbilt,

is playing with some steel as I walk home from the, you know, from the third grade, and

Masterbilt was actually started in our backyard.

In like 1973.

1973.

It was a good year.

It's when America still felt like America.

Yes.

And we were just having fun in our backyard.

And my dad, who had always been my hero, but this was like kind of a unique special day because I see him bending steel with his bare hands.

So I'm thinking, you know, this guy really is Superman.
