Transcript
Welcome to Barbecue Nation with JT And Leanne.
Speaker B:After Hours, the conversation that continued after the show was done.
Speaker A:Hey, everybody, it's JT and this is a special version of Barbecue Nation.
Speaker A:It is brought to you in part by Painted Hills Natural Beef.
Speaker A:Beef you can be proud to serve your family and friends.
Speaker A:That's Painted Hills Natural Beef.
Speaker A:Hey, everybody.
Speaker A:Welcome to After Hours here on Barbecue Nation.
Speaker A:I am JT with the hall of Famer, Ms. Whippin and the wannabe hall of Famers, soon to be hall of Famers.
Speaker A:The guys from Grab them in the brisket, John Chan, Matt and James there.
Speaker A:I got it all in there.
Speaker A:So I have to ask you a very serious question, and Leanne knows how serious I am about this question.
Speaker A:Which way do you cut your sandwiches?
Speaker A:Horizontally, vertically, or diagonally?
Speaker C:That's a word.
Speaker C:I'm a diagonal person.
Speaker C:Always.
Speaker C:Always diagonal.
Speaker C:Never across the middle.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Just seems odd.
Speaker D:I cut it horizontal, so I end up with two pieces of bread again.
Speaker D:You know what I mean?
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:What?
Speaker D:No, I. I do.
Speaker D:Diagonal.
Speaker D:I'm sorry.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker E:Diagonal is for me as well.
Speaker B:Same.
Speaker B:Yeah, same thing.
Speaker A:Yeah, you got to do the diagonal stuff now.
Speaker A:You don't.
Speaker A:Can any of you guys tell me how Leanne cuts her sandwiches?
Speaker C:I'm gonna say no crust, and then.
Speaker F:Oh, that.
Speaker F:I almost take offense to that.
Speaker C:I was just making up stuff.
Speaker A:Yeah, well, you were on.
Speaker A:Kind of on the right track in a way.
Speaker F:I don't think so at all.
Speaker C:I'm saying.
Speaker C:Yeah, I'm.
Speaker A:Wait, wait, James, what you say?
Speaker E:Yeah, Quarters.
Speaker B:Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker A:That's the winner.
Speaker F:My whole life, I've cut my sandwich into quarters.
Speaker C:That was my next step, by the way, was once you cut the crust off, you cut it in quarters.
Speaker F:Oh, wow.
Speaker B:She's not a toddler, Jan.
Speaker E:Okay, we got four chutney sandwiches.
Speaker A:So when somebody.
Speaker F:I feel like you.
Speaker F:I feel like when you have four quarters, it's like you have more food.
Speaker F:I don't know why I feel that way, but it's like.
Speaker F:And I don't know, is it four.
Speaker C:Quarters diagonally or is it down the middle?
Speaker F:If it's a grilled cheese, it's going to be diagonally.
Speaker F:It depends on if it's an egg sandwich.
Speaker F:I do it, you know, crisscross, like strawberries, straight, horizontal, vertical.
Speaker F:It depends on the type of sandwich.
Speaker A:All right, all right, so let me ask you this.
Speaker C:We're learning so much right now.
Speaker A:I know sandwich gods of the Internet, when somebody says they want, just make me a half a sandwich, you take one piece of Bread and cut it in half?
Speaker A:Or do you fold it over?
Speaker A:Like, Especially if it's like peanut butter and jelly.
Speaker A:You know, millions of atoms of peanut butter and jelly get spread every year on just a folded over piece of white bread.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:What's the best way to do it?
Speaker C:Okay, I'm only.
Speaker C:Because I'm really weird.
Speaker C:I don't mind a fold over.
Speaker C:I simply don't make a fold over.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker C:Ever.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:Now I will take one piece of bread and I'll cut it in half and I will make the sandwich I want to make.
Speaker C:But I want to see the ingredients.
Speaker F:And I agree.
Speaker A:All sides.
Speaker A:Is that weird?
Speaker A:No, no, no.
Speaker E:Okay.
Speaker A:Nothing weird about that.
Speaker C:Yeah, that's me.
Speaker A:You should be committed.
Speaker A:But it's nothing.
Speaker A:Word about that.
Speaker A:No, it's all good.
Speaker A:Couple of fun things here.
Speaker A:I don't think we ask you these questions or a couple of them.
Speaker A:Last time you were here, what would your last meal be?
Speaker A:On death row.
Speaker A:And you guys are in Texas.
Speaker A:You're not that far from Huntsville.
Speaker A:So I, you know, I know what's going on down there.
Speaker C:Yeah, no kidding, right?
Speaker C:Old Sparky out there still buzzing.
Speaker C:Yeah, you know, man, I.
Speaker C:You know, I think so.
Speaker C:I think actually the last time I was on death row,.
Speaker E:I. Jan does have some very interesting stories about pit picking up hitchhikers.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker E:In or around prison areas.
Speaker C:I've done that a few times.
Speaker C:So I. I think.
Speaker C:I think for me, man, you gotta go.
Speaker C:I'm not going.
Speaker C:Steak.
Speaker C:Everybody wants to say steak.
Speaker C:Because you say you're gonna get a shitty steak.
Speaker C:It's gonna be some prison steak.
Speaker C:It's not gonna be.
Speaker C:You're not getting primed.
Speaker C:You're gonna get some.
Speaker C:Just some horrible dairy cow.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker D:Right.
Speaker C:So I'm not going that.
Speaker C:I'm gonna go.
Speaker C:I'm gonna go.
Speaker C:I'm gonna go.
Speaker C:Double Smash burger.
Speaker C:I'm gonna say some.
Speaker C:Some fresh made French fries and, you know, maybe some water burger ketchup or something, you know, spicy.
Speaker C:That's probably my go to.
Speaker C:That sounds weird, right?
Speaker A:All right, John.
Speaker A:I mean, I know they don't feed you on Southwest Airlines, so.
Speaker A:What.
Speaker A:What, what are you gonna eat on death row?
Speaker D:A delectable snack mix on Southwest Airlines?
Speaker A:Actually, you do.
Speaker A:Oh, dude, tell.
Speaker A:Dude.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker E:You guys still do the honey roasted peanuts?
Speaker D:No.
Speaker D:Anymore.
Speaker D:It's crazy.
Speaker D:So if we order a steak on death row and it's not good, you can't send it back.
Speaker D:Is that.
Speaker A:There's no time.
Speaker E:Right.
Speaker D:I'm sorry.
Speaker A:Clock's ticking.
Speaker D:There Bubba, you're going hungry.
Speaker D:Well, hell, I'm still gonna say probably a steak.
Speaker D:I'm still gonna say a big ass ribeye.
Speaker D:Maybe a surf and turf with some lobster on all the sides and the mashed potatoes and all the good, good.
Speaker D:I don't know.
Speaker D:I'm basic, I guess, but that's the way I want to go.
Speaker D:I want to go out.
Speaker D:I want them to zap me and I barf when they do it.
Speaker D:Need that full.
Speaker B:Jesus.
Speaker A:Better the north end than the south end, that's for sure.
Speaker E:Right, John's.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Okay, Matt, you're up.
Speaker B:I think I'd have to go odd.
Speaker B:It's linguini with white wine clam sauce with a little garlic bread on the side.
Speaker A:Oh, that'll look good on your shirt.
Speaker C:Dude, can you imagine?
Speaker C:Like, you're in a prison.
Speaker C:You're like, I'll take the linguini.
Speaker C:Yeah, sounds good.
Speaker C:You get chef parody out of a can.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker F:You know.
Speaker B:Here's your sauce.
Speaker B:My mom would always make that whenever we were growing up.
Speaker B:And that was, like, our special meal.
Speaker B:So that's, like, my favorite meal I've ever had in my life.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker B:That's my go to.
Speaker A:Well, it sounds delicious, but, yeah, I think.
Speaker A:I think Jan's right.
Speaker A:You know, they boil some noodles and dump some Hunt's ketchup on it just to get you used to the idea of you're in Huntsville.
Speaker A:You know something?
Speaker C:By the way, you're going to sleep in five minutes, so.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah, okay.
Speaker A:James, we never heard from you, buddy.
Speaker E:I'm gonna go.
Speaker E:I want chicken fried steak.
Speaker E:I want chicken fried steak.
Speaker E:I want just, like, a bowl of gravy.
Speaker E:I want.
Speaker E:I want mashed potatoes and French fries, man.
Speaker E:You got to throw in a couple of chicken strips.
Speaker E:Texas toast.
Speaker C:Texas toast.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Anybody gonna do any dessert?
Speaker A:I mean, who's.
Speaker A:Who's counting calories at that point?
Speaker E:You gotta have, like, maybe some peach cobbler or banana pudding or something.
Speaker D:Banana pudding, for sure.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Lemon meringue pie.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker D:Some cheesecake from Leanne.
Speaker A:Attaboy.
Speaker A:Attaboy.
Speaker F:There you go.
Speaker A:Yeah, she makes a mean cheesecake.
Speaker F:I'll tell you.
Speaker F:It was good.
Speaker F:It was good.
Speaker D:I only won it if it has the vanilla wafer.
Speaker E:So.
Speaker F:So.
Speaker F:So I'll tell you another funny story about when I was making this.
Speaker F:Because I was at my mom', I didn't have the patience for the cream cheese to get to room temperature.
Speaker F:So of course that's going to make it, you know, chunky, and you got to have the, you know, smoothness of the thing.
Speaker F:So the recipe that I was going by said, do not beat it fast because you will incorporate air for whatever reason.
Speaker F:Well, I just like high pitched it, you know, and the thing is going.
Speaker F:And I said, well, this thing is not going to turn out.
Speaker F:And then I thought, well, if it has air in it, then I'm just going to bang it on the table.
Speaker F:So I put it in the springform pan and I'm just banging away.
Speaker F:And my mom is like, what are you doing in there?
Speaker F:I said, come over here and look at this.
Speaker F:And I'm not kidding.
Speaker F:When I banged it on the table, like, the air was coming out of little bubbles out of the cheesecake.
Speaker F:It was the wildest thing.
Speaker F:And I think it actually worked like little cheesecake farts.
Speaker F:No, I'm not kidding.
Speaker F:When I'm.
Speaker F:When I banged it on the table, it's.
Speaker F:The air was, like, coming out of the cheesecake.
Speaker A:Yeah, Yeah, I believe it.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker E:When I eat cheesecake.
Speaker A:Do you.
Speaker A:Where'd he go?
Speaker D:He had a potty.
Speaker D:I don't know.
Speaker A:God, I would think you'd have something just under the table.
Speaker F:Cheesecake.
Speaker A:We lost him in cheesecake.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:The bladder of a six year old.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:I'm gonna.
Speaker A:I'm gonna.
Speaker A:I'm gonna lead you in with this question.
Speaker A:What is the one thing that you can give Leanne when you see her and will really make her day?
Speaker E:John, you want to lead off?
Speaker D:No, I know I need to think about this.
Speaker F:Hold on, hold on there.
Speaker F:Before your wheels start turning.
Speaker F:It's.
Speaker F:It's edible.
Speaker A:Yeah, it's edible.
Speaker E:Okay.
Speaker D:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker A:You can't smoke it or drink it, but you can eat it.
Speaker B:Dang it.
Speaker D:You can't drink it.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker A:Can't drink it.
Speaker A:Can't smoke it.
Speaker A:But you eat it.
Speaker A:And it's commonly eaten millions of times a day.
Speaker A:That's all the clues you get.
Speaker D:There's an actual correct answer to this.
Speaker D:Not just like, what would we bring to the table?
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker A:No, no, no.
Speaker F:There is a correct answer to this.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker A:In fact, I got her this for Christmas last year.
Speaker F:That's right, he did.
Speaker B:Well, I was gonna say filet o fish from McDonald's, but, you know, there goes that.
Speaker F:No, no, that would be a big no.
Speaker D:I don't know.
Speaker D:You're gonna say the same.
Speaker F:It's something.
Speaker F:It's something sweet.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:But it's not cheesecake.
Speaker B:Fruitcake.
Speaker D:Fruitcake.
Speaker D:Oh.
Speaker F:All right, I'm gonna give you one more clue.
Speaker A:It's A candy.
Speaker F:It's a candy.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker E:Oh, okay.
Speaker E:It's candy.
Speaker F:Huh?
Speaker E:Is it a hard candy?
Speaker A:Yeah, sorta.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Is it cane shaped?
Speaker A:No.
Speaker D:Is this store bought or homemade?
Speaker A:Store bought.
Speaker F:How about this clue?
Speaker F:It has letters on it.
Speaker B:M M's.
Speaker A:Hey, Eminem.
Speaker A:Peanut.
Speaker B:Now we know.
Speaker B:We had a whole debate on our podcast.
Speaker F:I love some peanut M M's.
Speaker F:Yeah, I had to.
Speaker A:I had to buy her a five pound bag just to get her through the.
Speaker A:The Jack last year.
Speaker F:That's right.
Speaker F:Right.
Speaker B:I got a question for the two of you though, because.
Speaker B:Yes, we had us on our podcast for a very long time.

Speaker D:Reese's Pieces.
Speaker B:Yeah, Reese's Pieces.

Speaker A:I'm a. I'm a peanut butter cup guy, but I can't.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I don't eat the other ones for some reason.
Speaker B:Well, unfortunately.
Speaker B:And you.
Speaker B:You picked the wrong answer.
Speaker A:I did?
Speaker C:Listen, the correct answer is.
Speaker F:That is the correct answer.
Speaker C:M M's or the Reese's Pieces?
Speaker E: I'm saying is there wasn't a: Speaker C:What movies are you talking about?
Speaker E:I'm talking about E.T.
Speaker B:Extraterrestrial.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Oh, that's right.
Speaker C:Damn, I forgot about that.
Speaker A:No, it's okay.
Speaker A:Here, another question here.
Speaker A:What's the worst thing you've ever eaten?
Speaker A:Just go around the table.
Speaker B:I once went to a sushi restaurant that was known for its sea urchin.
Speaker B:So of course I got that because I thought, this is the thing they're known for.
Speaker B:That was probably the worst thing ever ate in my life.
Speaker B:It.
Speaker B:It tasted what I can only imagine.
Speaker B:A soggy, wet piece of cardboard with some butter on it.
Speaker B:Tastes like I.
Speaker B:If you ever smelled wet cardboard, that's exactly what it tasted like.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:It's awful,.
Speaker E:Man.
Speaker C:I've had some bad stuff.
Speaker B:Don't say John's Barbecue.
Speaker C:I don't even know.
Speaker D:That's just hateful.
Speaker D:Why are you so hateful, man?
Speaker D:Yeah, edit that out, please.
Speaker C:I was in a restaurant one time and it was a very authentic.
Speaker C:I don't know if it was Korean or Chinese or what.
Speaker C:What.
Speaker C:What the actual cuisine was, but when they put a tray out of food out, they had all these little small plates that you didn't order, they just brought to your table as would eat it.
Speaker C:And then you would still Order your main dish or whatever.
Speaker E:Right?
Speaker C:It was a.
Speaker C:It was.
Speaker C:It was a.
Speaker C:It was an eyeball from a.
Speaker C:From a.
Speaker C:From a goat.
Speaker C:And it was literally sitting there.
Speaker C:There was like eight of them on the thing, and everybody was, like, going in, and I'm like, no, I can't do that.
Speaker C:So I. I end up cutting a little bit and just trying it.
Speaker C:It was not for the faint of heart, and it was.
Speaker C:I've ever done in my life.
Speaker C:But, you know, I.
Speaker C:Peer pressure as a.
Speaker C:As a mother, and you.
Speaker C:You just have to kind of go in sometimes.
Speaker C:I. I don't know what I was thinking.
Speaker F:Let me ask you this.
Speaker F:Did you eat the white part of the eyeball or, like, the dark part?
Speaker C:Yeah, I.
Speaker B:Was it the iron?
Speaker C:No, I remember.
Speaker C:I remember, like, pulling it and just trying to, like.
Speaker C:And it popped.
Speaker C:Like, I don't want to go into this.
Speaker C:But it was not what you thought it was going to be.
Speaker C:It was very.
Speaker C:And I actually had alligator tongue one time, and that was bad.
Speaker A:So let me share something with you, Dan.
Speaker A:When.
Speaker A:When I was in Saudi Arabia, went Riyadh, checked into the hotel, and they said.
Speaker A:When I walked in the lobby down the hall, I saw this sign for, like, Pizza Hut and Burger King.
Speaker A:And I. I was hungry, you know, because it was a.
Speaker A:From Oregon.
Speaker A:It's a hell of a long ways, most anywhere, but to the Middle east, it's a really long time.
Speaker A:And they said, oh, no, you gotta.
Speaker A:You gotta.
Speaker A:Our best restaurant in the hotel, right?
Speaker A:I said, okay.
Speaker A:So I grabbed a shower, went downstairs.
Speaker A:One thing I like to do is I like to read the newspaper or when they made newspapers, like, with my dinner, kind of quiet.
Speaker A:And I go down there in this really opulent restaurant.
Speaker A:I mean, there's the gold.
Speaker A:Everything is gold and real gold.
Speaker A:All right?
Speaker A:And they have this big buffet up there kind of thing.
Speaker A:Okay, cool.
Speaker A:There's one other guy.
Speaker A:There's an English guy and a French guy.
Speaker A:This is not a joke, by the way.
Speaker A:Sitting at other tables.
Speaker A:And I go up and I get my plate, and of course, they've got tabbouleh and hummus and that kind of stuff.
Speaker A:And I go by and I think, oh, marinated mushrooms.
Speaker B:Perfect.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And marinated cauliflower.
Speaker A:I'll give it a try.
Speaker A:And I go around and.
Speaker A:And it smelled just like saffron in there.
Speaker A:I mean, they had this huge chafing dish, which they took the lid off later, but it was just so sweet.
Speaker A:And I went and sat down, and I take a bite of the mushroom and I look over at the English guy, and he goes, it's not a mushroom.
Speaker A:And I went, yeah, it's not a mushroom.
Speaker A:And he goes, and that's not cauliflower.
Speaker A:Just helping you out there, mate.
Speaker A:It was sheep nuts and brains.
Speaker A:And they ate them.
Speaker A:Private ton over there, when they go, they have what they call a goat grab, which is where guys get together and roast a goat, and they pull the meat off with their hands.
Speaker A:They don't carve it.
Speaker A:The one thing I.
Speaker A:Well, the big chafing dish story, I went over there, and the guy I expected, the guy.
Speaker A:I thought it was lamb.
Speaker A:No, it was mutton.
Speaker A:And the head of the sheep was still on.
Speaker A:Not looking very sharp, by the way.
Speaker A:And all that rice underneath, it was saffron.
Speaker A:The one thing I really came away from that was how much I really appreciated Lebanese bakers and all their baklava and stuffed.
Speaker A:Because I'd eat the out of that every day when I was there, just because it was the only thing I could eat there.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:We got cauliflower.
Speaker C:Fool me once.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker C:Came on me.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:It was like, lordy.
Speaker A:So, John, we never heard from you or James on that.
Speaker D:I forgot what the question was.
Speaker B:Horse meal or worse than.
Speaker D:Matt made this brisket the other day.
Speaker C:Disgusting.
Speaker D:Took a lot of.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker D:Honestly, I don't think I can even think of anything.
Speaker D:I'm so easy when it comes to food.
Speaker D:Like, there's not very much that I eat.
Speaker D:And I'm like, I'm not eating that again.
Speaker D:I'm like, nobody try it again.
Speaker D:Yeah, okay.
Speaker D:Like, I pretty much like all food.
Speaker D:I can't think of anything.
Speaker D:I don't.
Speaker B:You never had one meal you just didn't like?
Speaker D:Not that I can recall.
Speaker D:Nothing that I was, like, pushing it away from me.
Speaker D:I was like, I'm not full yet.
Speaker D:I'm probably gonna finish until I'm full.
Speaker E:John's like, mikey, like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:What about lima beans?
Speaker A:Do you like lima beans?
Speaker D:Yeah, I like lima beans.
Speaker D:I like all the beans.
Speaker D:James don't like beans.
Speaker E:No.
Speaker E:Well, that leads me into mine.
Speaker E:That which I guess a lot of people love.
Speaker E:That which I. I can't.
Speaker C:If that's the worst food, you're done.
Speaker C:Honeymooff.
Speaker E:Don't stomach.
Speaker E:I can't.
Speaker E:I can't.
Speaker E:It' the pinto beans for some reason.
Speaker A:And you live in Texas.
Speaker E:It smells disgusting.
Speaker E:It tastes disgusting to me.
Speaker E:I don't know what it is.
Speaker E:Like, I can't get.
Speaker E:I can't get it down.
Speaker A:I don't know why Leanne, what's yours?
Speaker F:My least favorite food.
Speaker F:I'm not a huge liver person.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:If it's not cooked right, it tastes like dirt, so.
Speaker C:Fried liver and onions is pretty good, though.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Have you ever eaten haggis?
Speaker D:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Did you like it?
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:Do they make it different in Texas than in Scotland or what?
Speaker B:They don't make in Texas.
Speaker F:You guys are so funny.
Speaker C:We try.
Speaker F:Oh, my God, you're so darn funny.
Speaker F:Because, you know, I don't know how you all keep, like, straight faces and don't crack up.
Speaker F:I mean, it.
Speaker F:It's hard for me to contain myself with.
Speaker F:Yeah, you're so funny.
Speaker A:They are.
Speaker A:They are.
Speaker A:So you remember, just go around the table and start with Matt.
Speaker A:Remember the first thing you got in trouble for as a kid?
Speaker B:I never got in trouble.
Speaker B:I was an angel.
Speaker B:I don't know I did anything wrong when I was growing up.
Speaker C:He grew up in a military base.
Speaker B:I did.
Speaker B:I did grow up on military housing.
Speaker B:If you messed up, you got.
Speaker B:You got smacked all the way home.
Speaker C:So he didn't have an opportunity.
Speaker B:Yeah, we.
Speaker C:We.
Speaker B:We didn't mess around too much growing up, but.
Speaker B:Yeah, I know.
Speaker B:I stole something from a.
Speaker B:From a garage sale one time.
Speaker A:You got caught.
Speaker C:Yeah, Right.
Speaker C:Taking somebody else's secondhand.
Speaker C:Good.
Speaker A:I know.
Speaker B:It's like.
Speaker A:I think it was, like, a micro.
Speaker B:Machine, like five years old.
Speaker C:They would have given it to you.
Speaker B:They probably would just, like, take.
Speaker C:There you go.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:You're a military kid.
Speaker C:You need help, you know?
Speaker B:Sure.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker B:James.
Speaker B:We snuck into a.
Speaker B:We snuck into an abandoned house one time, and there was a hobo living in there who, like, chased us all down the street.
Speaker B:We're, like, riding away on our bikes as fast as we could as hobo runs down the street after us.
Speaker C:That's called breaking and entering.
Speaker C:And you're in somebody else's house.
Speaker B:Dude, you're not even.
Speaker C:Yeah, it was an abandoned house.
Speaker C:No, it had electricity, running water.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And now you're the guy like.
Speaker C:No, it's cool.
Speaker C:We're a kid.
Speaker A:Six cans of pinto beans in the cupboard.
Speaker A:You know, that type of thing.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker A:All right, James, you're up.
Speaker E:Yeah, well, oddly enough, a lot of mine are.
Speaker E:Are synonymous with Jan because we are twins.
Speaker E:We always did everything together.
Speaker E:But the very first one, there's so many that we can get into.
Speaker E:There was one that we got in trouble.
Speaker E:Well, we weren't burning books.
Speaker E:Another kid was burning books.
Speaker E:But we.
Speaker E:We ended up.
Speaker E:We're there, and we saw the books being burned.
Speaker E:And so that was enough to get our, our butts whooped.
Speaker E:But my, mine personally was, I was at a grocery store, little, little food mart, and there was a little four wheeler, little toy for four wheeler that I really wanted.
Speaker E:And I asked mom and she said, no, you can't have it.
Speaker E:And so I went to pretend to put it back, and then it went right in my pocket.
Speaker E:And then we get out into the car and this is how dumb I am.
Speaker E:It's like I'm sitting there, like, soon as I get into the truck or car, I busted out and playing with it.
Speaker E:You know what I mean?
Speaker E:It's like you guys have all forgotten that I couldn't have this.
Speaker E:And then I guess I got busted by.
Speaker C:Yeah, me.
Speaker C:I'm like, I didn't get a toy.
Speaker C:Where's my toy?
Speaker F:Right?
Speaker C:And then mom looks over and she's like, nope, up by the ear.
Speaker C:She marching right back inside.
Speaker E:And yeah, I had to go in and apologize.
Speaker E:That's right.
Speaker E:And just hope they didn't want to, like, press charges and throw me in jail.
Speaker E:So they're like baby jail.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker D:John.
Speaker D:Man, I think I'm kind of like, man, I didn't really get in any trouble when I was younger.
Speaker D:I was, I was a pretty good kid.
Speaker D:I was number three out of four, the third boy.
Speaker D:My older brothers got in trouble all the time.
Speaker D:But I do remember it kind of, kind of brings this story to my mind.
Speaker D:Makes me think of this.
Speaker D:When my, when we all got in trouble, my older brothers would get their asses whooped.
Speaker D:And then I would go in there and I remember my dad being like, I was already terrified.
Speaker D:I, I, I didn't want to spank.
Speaker D:And I was already crying when I walked in the door.
Speaker D:He'd be like, just keep crying.
Speaker D:And he'd like, make smacking sounds on his leg, getting a whooping.
Speaker D:And he like, just keep crying and leave.
Speaker D:Like, this is a disappointment.
Speaker D:Like, already works fine.
Speaker C:Yeah, well, that's, you've already learned your lesson.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah, Better than that.
Speaker D:So, yeah, I, I guess I was perfect.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker A:Yeah, my dad did the same thing.
Speaker D:And that's why.
Speaker D:So great.
Speaker A:Yeah, he just.
Speaker A:Martin, we had a woodshed and you'd have to go out to the, you know, wait till your father gets home.
Speaker A:And you'd go out to the woodshed and we had all the barn coats hanging out there.
Speaker A:And so what he, My mom would make you pick out your own stick.
Speaker A:You pick out a little one like that, you know, so dad had come home, and dad walked out there, and we had a door on it, and close the door.
Speaker A:And he would say, I'm gonna hit the coat.
Speaker A:And I want you to yell.
Speaker A:And he'd whack that coat like he was really beating the hell out of it.
Speaker A:Yeah, you know, I'd yell like that.
Speaker A:We got, we got busted, though, from my mother.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker C:I want to see the Welch.
Speaker D:Then they both got spankings.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:That was terrible.
Speaker A:All right, Jan, you're up.
Speaker C:Man, I was a really good kid.
Speaker C:I didn't get in a lot of trouble at all.
Speaker D:Nobody buying that.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I got arrested by a Texas Ranger one time, or semi arrested, whatever.
Speaker C:I, I, we.
Speaker C:I've done so many different horrible things.
Speaker C:I, I think some of the statute of limitation ain't run out yet.
Speaker C:And I was a kid, so.
Speaker C:But, you know, one of the, one of the worst things I think I did is we, we were probably 14 or 13, and we, we stole our, our.
Speaker C:My buddy stole his mom's car, and we went out for a joyride and we drove down, we met some people, and it was a really wild night.
Speaker C:We, There was a.
Speaker C:Somebody had stole another car, and we're like, what are the odds to two people stealing the same car in the same parking lot?
Speaker C:There was a whole, like, chase, and we're just little kids, and we ended up going back.
Speaker C:I said, look, just take me home.
Speaker C:I never want to do this again.
Speaker C:And when we're drive.
Speaker C:Pulling back in the parking lot, my buddy hits the neighbor's car, and he pulls into his house, right?
Speaker C:He doesn't think anything about it.
Speaker C:And I'm like, I, I remember going home like, oh, my God, this is not going to go away.
Speaker C:This is going to be such a big deal.
Speaker C:And the next morning, the neighbor had come over, and they were, they got in this argument, like, because she was like, hey, you hit my car last night.
Speaker C:And he was like, no, you hit my car last night.
Speaker C:There was this whole back and forth thing that ensued.
Speaker C:And I remember sitting back, going like, oh, my God, like, we did this last night.
Speaker C:Yeah, it was not good.
Speaker C:We all got in so much trouble.
Speaker C:It's probably the one of the worst things growing up as a kid I can think of.
Speaker C:Yeah, I'm really sorry, Ms. Malvinato, if you're listening, it was not the neighbor, it was your son and me.
Speaker C:And we definitely hit the neighbor's car.
Speaker C:So, yeah, people moved after that.
Speaker C:It became a whole thing.
Speaker C:So, damn.
Speaker C:I feel really just Free.
Speaker C:Just talking about that.
Speaker C:And.
Speaker A:Yeah, I've been.
Speaker C:Didn't realize I've been harboring that for a while, so.
Speaker A:So which was worse?
Speaker A:Yeah, getting.
Speaker A:Getting yelled at.
Speaker A:Thumped on whatever right after the incident or after you did that, coming downstairs for breakfast the next day and having to sit at the table and look at your mom and dad straight across the table?
Speaker A:Which was worse?
Speaker C:No, it was obviously mom and dad.
Speaker C:It was.
Speaker C:It was a moment where I thought I was smarter than everybody else was.
Speaker C:Like, obviously, nobody can talk yet.
Speaker C:It's been too early.
Speaker C:You know, not enough time has gone by for parents to even speak to each other, but they were within minutes they could talk to you on the phone, you know, and so, yeah, mom and dad for sure.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's.
Speaker F:That.
Speaker A:Yeah, that was tough.
