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.

And I'm joined by my lovely and talented wife, as always, Ms. Southern Shell. How are you? I'm doing great. Good. We got Tyler over on the boards. I even got a new camera view for him this year. What's up, guys? How's it going? Y'all can see Tyler now. But no, we are back, right, Shell? Season six. Season, can you believe six seasons? You taught me into doing this six years ago, I guess. I was like. I think these podcasts are really going to be something, man. I mean, we saw, you know, so we knew, and I've been doing like guests on some podcasts. I mean, I think. Like rampy and. He was probably the very first one that invited me on as a guest. And I don't know how many, that's probably, ooh, I'm showing my age. That's probably 12, 13, 14, 15 years ago. I bet it's at least 15, yeah. But, you know, podcasts were a thing back then, but I don't think they weren't near as popular as they are now. Yeah. Now everybody's got a podcast. But we decided to jump in um i guess we went to the barbecue

conference national barbecue conference i don't remember what city was in fort worth that year maybe

it was texas yeah they and gregg rimpi was there and some other guys were there that started

up some barbecue podcasts and they were talking about it i'm not even sure if those guys still do it

i don't even know if they do. I don't remember.

But you were, you were, like, we can do that. And I was like, well, I'm looking through what kind of equipment it takes. And I remember going on Amazon and finding some basic stuff. We did it in a closet to start. Kicked all your sewing stuff out because you're such a seamstress. I know. He said it anyway.

It's fine.

But no, and the rest is history.

We're six years in we added Tyler how many seasons have you been with us I was on season four okay created that little promo thing it was kind of cool to take a look back at all you I was like different years and stuff and like how the equipment upgraded everything and I like that effect you had it like it it was in the old TV screen and flipping through the podcast. It was really random, but I was trying to create a dramatic effect. And a lot of people in the comment section seem to get it. And they were like, I got the chills. Well, it was great to have a break. It always is. And we do it. So fast. Man, it seems like Thanksgiving was just yesterday. And now, here I am.

Last weekend of hunting season.

I know you're happy about that.

Yeah.

Last, well, the championship weekend and pro football this weekend.

I'm excited about that.

My poor Vikings didn't. They did better than I expected at the beginning of the year. I'm not going to lie. It's a good year. Got to go to a game in Minnesota this year. They had a good run. Won some games they probably shouldn't have. Lost some. They definitely should have lost. But all in all, as a Vikings fan, it's a pretty good year. I wish they don't, I mean, it would have been nice to win a playoff game or two. Did I have hopes of them making it to the Super Bowl or winning a Super Bowl? I learned that lesson many, many years ago. Maybe one day, but. Yeah, once you become a fan of a team and are disappointed over. Yeah, it's like the rebels. I get the same thing and I'll miss. We come out strong every year and then we can play Alabama and then lose every other game. It's fun to watch it through Michael's eyes because he's still optimistic. Oh, yeah. Very optimistic, yeah. I've got a standing thing that if I can ever make the Super Bowl. I don't care if I'm 90 years. If I'm alive when I'm 90, they make it. I'm taking Michael to the Super Bowl. That'd be cool. So over the break, what was the best thing you ate? What was the best thing you cooked? The best thing I, man, that's some weeks. How many weeks were we off? Three, four. Is that all?

No, I don't know.

It was probably six.
