0 mins In this episode I am joined by Jaime, Isaac and Hector.   We start off with our favorite NFL players Deshawn Watson.  Recently he was given a 6-game suspension by an independent judge but that wasn't good enough for the NFL, so the saga continues.  We ask Hector from some legal advice on the matter.  I bring up last week's podcast as I talked about buying Troy Aikman's beer, Eight as he recently visited the Rio Grande Valley to promote it.  When I saw the sticker price, I called an audible and decided my money was better spent elsewhere.  10:00 minWe then talk about some BBQ as Hector is on the podcast so be ready for some pretty heavy bbq talk.  I saw a video on social media that we break down.  The person lathers mayo on the brisket before he seasons and puts on the smoker.  As the brisket reaches the stall, he then proceeds to make a foil boat for the brisket with the thought that the brisket will be half wrap so still remain MOIST however the top of the brisket will continue to develop a nice bark.  Something to maybe try in the test outdoor kitchen.  We then talk about my second weekend in a row cooking bbq pizza on the Weber Kettle.  I come up with 4 different pies with some input from my sister.  We make a traditional pepperoni pizza, then follow it with our twist on a Hawaiian that includes a yogurt/garlic sauce, Canadian bacon, jalapenos and cheese. The next offering is a meat lovers if you will topped with pepperoni and ground brawts, followed by thick cut mushrooms.  Last but not least I spread some jalapeno cream cheese, top it with crispy bacon, jalapenos and freshly grilled fajita chunks.  All winners in my book.  Hector and Jaime share their experiences of visiting GW BBQ and Catering during the week. One of the guys has a successful trip and the other does not.  Hector only wants to go back for the Brisket smash burger.  35:00 minAnother bandit makes his way onto the podcast but this time it's a brisket bandit.  Apparently there was another brisket heist in Austin as a man successfully steals 20 briskets off the pit of La Barbecue.  We wonder how this can keep happening and why there are no employees present when this goes down. We then share our thoughts of what this person did with all that brisket.  45:00 minWe close it out talking some college football as our team the Texas Longhorns are scheduled to play Alabama in September.  We can't believe what the tickets are going for.  Hector gives us a peak behind the curtain from the VIP section of the games.  I'm mad cause I didn't get any buffet.  A bunch of joes that cook like pros!!!Law Office of Hector Hernandezhttp://hhernandezlaw.com/?fbclid=IwAR3kaG_wQzrsUJ-cVxJLUyjvipMPM1R59xo9YMKFFsiGHaaUgdZ8hd8cB7YGW BBQ BBQ | United States | GW's BBQ Catering Co.

0 mins In this episode I am joined by Jaime and Hiram.  We start off with some headlines as the NFL is back with their upcoming Hall of Fame game coming up.  The guys disagree whether pre-season football is worth watching and we talk about some 49er and Cowboys football.  Jaime gives us his famous UFC review as we talk about the brutal fight between Amanda Nunes and Juliana Pena.  Poor girl she put up a fight but damn that was nasty.  10:00 minWe then talk about some BBQ as Hector and I come up with a creative leftover bbq appetizer menu that I try post cooking a brisket and ribs for some friends.  The first crazy experiment are brisket balls made up of mashed potatoes with butter, cheese, chives and brisket. I then deep fry them and the result is a winner.  The next item is a brisket flatbread on the weber pizza oven attachment.  This flatbread consist of homemade bbq sauce, sauteed onions, mushrooms, brisket, goat cheese and home grown basil.  The final item on the menu is a brisket grilled cheese with sliced sour dough bread slathered with butter and muenster cheese on one side and colby on the other stuffed with brisket.  I then cook it on the cast iron pan over the coals.  All winners folks.  We also pay a visit to one of our favorite bbq eateries Smoke Crafters BBQ in Mission.  Jaime tells us he was on a competitor bbq podcast be we ain't mad there's enough bbq in the world to share.  Jaime talks about his love of mayo as we get some brisket grilled cheese tips.  Hiram talks about an article on the top 20 LA bbq spots and his plans to do an LA BBQ tour.  30:00 min We then talk about the economy and the rising prices of everything. Pretty much to sum it up every thing has doubled in price except our paychecks.  Jaime finds a way to rope Elon into the conversation and take his usual shots at him.  40:00 minWe close it out talking about Jaime's favorite QB's beer Troy Aikman's Eight Lager as his impending visit to the RGV to promote his beer.  Hiram things the beer market is too saturated and that celebs should concentrate their efforts elsewhere. We ask Troy to send us a sampler case to review his beer.  A bunch of joes that cook like pros!!!Law Office of Hector Hernandezhttp://hhernandezlaw.com/?fbclid=IwAR3kaG_wQzrsUJ-cVxJLUyjvipMPM1R59xo9YMKFFsiGHaaUgdZ8hd8cB7YSmoke Crafters Home - SMOKE CRAFTERS (ordersmokecraftersbbq.com)

Some more local news as I give an review of Whataburger's new Bacon Blue Cheese hamburger.  As usual it doesn't quite hit as expected. Jaime talks about his time at Whataburger as the bun wetter.  We then talk about the big news in the NFL as Zack Wilson becomes famous for hunting cougars.  Hiram thinks there's a double standard towards females in the media.  We close out the headlines with Captain America Derrick Jeter right before his new doc comes out.  The whole gift basket thing gets exposed. Jaime adds Jeter to this list of people that are garbage. 20:00 minWe then talk about some BBQ as my time in Houston over the weekend makes me questions if there are too many BBQ joints opening up in Texas.  Hiram gives his perspective living in California.  One of our favorite local BBQ joints, Smoke Crafters gifts us some breakfast sausage to try out and review on the podcast.  Needless to say the jury is not out on this one as it gets the full RSB approval.   Jaime has a suggestion for a new menu item to add to the menu featuring the breakfast sausage.  Hiram wants to know why we left a toothpick in the steak at the Texas Cook'em High Steaks Cookoff in Edinburg.  Jaime and I try our best to justify our blunder.  35:00 min We then switch back to talking about the NFL and the looming season.  Hector's favorite player Baker Mayfield leads off the conversation with his new team the Carolina Panther's.  We can't decide which crappy QB is better for that team.  The Houston Texans make their way back into the podcast as always as they pay off 30 women to make the stink of Deshaun go away. Jaime finds a way to throw Elon and Bezos under the bus as his billionaire bashing continues.  We ask the question of is Lamar Jackson a good quarterback and what is going to happen to Jimmy G.  We end the podcast with some Dallas Cowboys as Jaime does not seem confident that they are going to the Super Bowl this year.  A bunch of joes that cook like pros!!!Law Office of Hector Hernandezhttp://hhernandezlaw.com/?fbclid=IwAR3kaG_wQzrsUJ-cVxJLUyjvipMPM1R59xo9YMKFFsiGHaaUgdZ8hd8cB7YTexas Cook'em High Steaks in Edinburg https://edinburg.com/texas-cookem-high-steaks-in-edinburg/ Smoke Crafters Home - SMOKE CRAFTERS (ordersmokecraftersbbq.com)

I then give a recap of the results and we have one very good call but a disappointing day overall.  Everyone forgets to bring an ice chest as we try to find ways to keep our meet, 80 water bottles cool and most importantly our beer.  Johnny's tents don't survive the windy day.  We talk about the new set up and how we enjoy the new location.  Then we get into the SCA (Steak Cookoff Association) portion of the cookoff.  As always Brett ran an A+ show but we bring our Mickey Mouse operation to the competition.  Hear about the huge mistake we make that could have cost us some big money. 30:00 min We continue to talk about the steak cookoff.  Johnny has an idea to do away with all the meats and just make it a steak cookoff.  We talk about the lack of steak cookoffs in South Texas and how it would look like if it was just a steak cookoff.  We put our promoter hat on and talk about some changes that could be made in the future of this cookoff.  We think that more backyard guys and joes could possibly compete if it was only a steak cookoff.  We ask the questions to the joes to see what they think.  40:00 minJohnny takes the show on the road once again as he makes a visit to Valentina's BBQ in Austin, Texas.  Right away he is not impressed by the set up and port o potty bathroom.  He also takes a look at the menu and once again not happy about it.  His experience at Smoke Crafters BBQ in Mission Texas makes him question how this Austin eatery can be so popular if it doesn't even compare. I guess ignorance is bliss.   A bunch of joes that cook like pros!!!Law Office of Hector Hernandezhttp://hhernandezlaw.com/?fbclid=IwAR3kaG_wQzrsUJ-cVxJLUyjvipMPM1R59xo9YMKFFsiGHaaUgdZ8hd8cB7YTexas Cook'em High Steaks in Edinburg https://edinburg.com/texas-cookem-high-steaks-in-edinburg/ GW BBQ & Catering BBQ | United States | GW's BBQ Catering Co.
