The way my grandmother and everybody that I know that I've ever seen prepare raccoon. Normally they cut him up, they get a nice medium sized raccoon. You don't want him too big.

Cause you know, but look, you gonna put him in vinegar anyway and soak him overnight. But anyway, so you're gonna chop him up. You gonna get you a pan with aluminum foil. Y'all call it tin foil, we call it aluminum foil. And you cut him up, Ocho. You get your bell pepper, you get your onion,

you get you some celery, you put him down in there. Hey, okay, you put that tin foil over the top of him and you let him stand in that oven for an hour or so. Probably about an hour, about 90 minutes. Let him bake. Now, you wanna put some barbecue sauce on him? Put that barbecue sauce on there Slapping the ass back in the oven for about another 15 minutes now you got some I've never seen it like that with rice

I've never seen I'm not saying you can't prepare it like that But growing up and I've seen a lot of people prepare it. I've never seen it prepared like that Now that's a side. Maybe that's a South Carolina thing. Maybe that's specific to that region You know that. Now that's a South maybe that's a South Carolina thing. Maybe that's specific to that region. Um, you know, but I've never seen it like that. Now with squirrel, I've seen it squirrel fried smothered fried. I've never seen squirrel baked. I've only seen it fried and smothered fried. So raccoon, I've only seen it baked. I've never seen it like chicken and rice. It's almost like, cause it looked like it was, he had it with rice. Now, but I've never seen it like that. I'm not saying you can't eat it like that, but my grandmother, all the times I saw my grandmother prepare it, my great-grandmother prepare it, my aunt's prepare it, my sister prepare it. I've never seen it prepared like

that. Now I don't, I'm not saying I wouldn't eat it. I'll try it just to see what it tastes like. But I know the way that I've eaten it growing up. I like that way better. I can already tell you, but that doesn't mean that. It's all, it almost, it almost looked like booty. Booty? Booty. Oh, okay. I mean, I'm just making sure.

Nice, but hey, no, no. Okay, okay. You got to, you got to pronounce that. Booty. B-O-U-D-I-M, booty. Okay. pronounce that out. Bo you. Bo you. Bo you. Bo you. Bo you.

Bo you. Bo you. Bo you. Bo you. Bo you. Bo you. Bo you. Bo you. God, you have to understand when you grow up and I think his situation is kind of similar to mine. He probably didn't have a whole lot. Guys, you're not getting no ribs.

You're not getting those. I was just talking to my sister the other night. Oh, we got fried chicken on Sunday. That's the only time I've ever eaten fried chicken. I've never had fried chicken on a Monday or two. Now, if it was left over, my grandmother was going to smother fry. You will get that flour and water and make and smother fry. But on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I'd never had fried chicken on those days unless you got it from us.

Like the hen house, that was the place after I had graduated and went off to college, they had what they call a crispy chick. But as far as eating at home, we didn't get that. You got chitlins, you got raccoons. Somebody come by, hey, boys, you all want a raccoon? All they wanted was to hide the fur. So they'd already have the raccoon cased out. Or.

That's what they call it when they take the hide off, or had him bust out, but it makes you leave a foot on it. So you could tell that's not a puppy. That's a raccoon. So he would already he would already be dressed by the a foot on him. So you could tell that's not a puppy, that's a raccoon. So he would already be dressed by the time you get him. That's what they call it when they gutting him, take the head off, take the fur off. They call it, and they have it, hey boys, y'all want-

Yeah, we'll take it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When they've already got the hide off him, they take the hide off him. Because that's really the only valuable part that the trappers want, because they trap them. You trap them or you get dogs to go hunt them and tree them. So you had a black and tan, you had red bones,

you had blue ticks, you had bloodhounds, you had a tree and walker, you had dogs that go hunt. And so you turn the dogs loose, and that's why you hear them, ooo, ooo, ooo. They got some trees. that go hunt and so you turn the dogs loose and that's why you hear them yeah they got some trees now you go hey you get your rifle because you couldn't shoot him with a shotgun cuz you messed the hide up so what you want is a 22 rifle small caliber hit me in his head boom you don't punch in the fur the hide

so that's now a squirrel ain't no value in the squirrel hide. So you a raccoon, I mean a squirrel, you use shotgun or four 10, 12 gaze, 10, whatever the case may be. You get that, you know, you hurt quail, you know, you use bird shot. Something that spray because once you hit a flock of them,

they gonna scare the hell out you. But they go, so you gotta turn the fire, so you won't shots that spray it. Now, if you hunting deer, you use a shotgun, but you gonna use, you might use a slug, or you might use buck shot. But you don't care. How you gonna use a shotgun on a deer?

You not close, you gotta get for that to hit? Oh, that's right, that's right. A lot of times people have from a stand. So you open, you open a tree stand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Or you use a 30, 30, 30, you know, you use right. You know how to do, you know how to do the process process. It takes my brother can know my brother, my brother young. My brother watched my uncles do it. And so he would go hunting and he'd do it. He'd kill a coot. He'd come and case him out himself. Yeah, he could do it.

Oh yeah. My brother killed a deer, an eight point buck with a single shot rifle. He came home, he came home running, he was huffing and puffing. My uncle didn't believe him. He said, uh, he said, James, I killed a deer. He said, man, you, he said, what you killing with? He had a single shot rifle. My uncle said, bro, you ain't killed no deer.

He said, come on, let me show you. Went back there, man, we call Hell Dragon a deer out of there. A deer probably weighed, you know, 150 pounds. That's a big boy. Yeah. But that's what, Ocho, you ate those things. When you got hog, somebody might come home

and they're like, Mary, we got, so they bring you the feet, they bring you the tail, they bring you the head. Now, oh, you thought you'd go get the ribs? You you thought you go get a real you thought you go get a shoulder You got the hog mo you got the chitlins you got the heart you got the liver you got the feet You got the tail you got the head you cut the ears off and you can make pig ear sandwiches. That's what you got With the cow you got the what you got with the cow. You got the tail. You got the tongue.

You won't get no good cuts for me. So what y'all thought we was going to eat? Now think about Oxtail and Oxtail is a delicacy. No, no people would eat Oxtails like that back in the day. Not not our counterparts. They eat it now. Well, you know, you can you can't be you can't. You try to go and you try to go to the salt food.

They ordered up all the oxtails. And stop playing. Yeah, I know how expensive they are. Stop playing. Yeah. But that's what you ate, but that's what you ate growing up. So you ate alligator. I don you ate alligator, alligator turtle. They look like they got a tail like a little alligator and they got the ridge on the back. So we catch them as big as a number two, a number two wise, we call them wise tubs.

Some people call them tin tubs. It all depends on where you grew up at, but if you're in the South, you know exactly what I'm talking about. A number two wash tub or tin tub. As big as that at the bottom. You're talking about something like 885, even 100 pounds. Oh, you coming home. My granny was going to cook you, for sure.

Even the softshell turtles, like I said, if you're from the South, you know exactly what I'm talking about. But oh, yeah, I don't know what y'all thought we was gonna eat. You ate possum, you ate raccoon. I had a great uncle, he ate armadillo. I know I'm drawing the line, but see that's why I draw the line now Ocho. I mean I got some pride. Sometimes you just got to say no. Like sometimes you got to tell him no. What's wrong? Now I tell you this, Pocho, that you talking about some pretty white meat, a

possum got some of the prettiest white meat you see when you get him dressed. But, Hey, the mobile eat, tear him up. You think somebody's snapping. If you think somebody's snapping, if I, that's Hey, you think somebody's snapping their finger? That's real poppin'. You had that. You know what? You need it.

What you gonna do? Listen, if those circumstances were like that, like you, then I wouldn't have no choice, but even I would be used to it. But the fact that I didn't grow up like that, the chances of me, hey, even now, you have to say I'm even? Nah, that ain't happening. That ain't happening. Hey, let me tell you what my grandma, let me tell let me take a my grandma. I really tell what we my grandma just laid on the table

Hey, put that thing in that pan with them onion and celery and bell pepper.

Obviously, my dad, my dad, my dad was wasn't around. He would call and people have to ask why you don't really talk about your dad. That's like I love my dad.

Hell, I named my son after my dad. And I know my dad, my dad loved me, my brother, my sister. But I think my dad was embarrassed. Because I don't think he became what he thought he could become. And he thought that we would be embarrassed of him. My dad drank a lot. And my dad died at the age of 39. And he had brothers that two of them didn't make it. They barely, if they made it to 50, they barely made it to 50.

And so I think for me to see, I would, I wouldn't want to take my dad to the game because he wasn't a part of that, that celebration, but I would want my dad to go to a game I would let for him to go to a game, um, when I became the player that I became, um, even though that's not a family moment, um, I would like for him to go to a game. Um, when I became the player that I became, which, um, even though that's not a family moment, um, I would like for him to go to a game and be on the sidelines to see his son, his baby boy who looks at, I look exactly like my dad, uh, just see, let him see that. But for my grandfather to be there to bet raised and instill what he instilled in my brother and myself and to Enter to like yeah, I could just imagine hey, I could just imagine

I don't think he gonna treat us different cuz we got some money. Okay daddy Yeah, no body pointed a care. He care about no money. He came by nothing. He was he was built on respect He was built on that and you know, hey, he called you a boy. Yes, sir Hey come cut turn come turn this TV We'd be outside playing basketball Oh Joe, hey, what are you fellas come turn the TV? You mean to tell me you can't get up and take three steps and turn the TV. I had that opportunity. I missed that.

Oh, it's so funny. I miss that. If you, you mentioned. I do. Having the opportunity to have him come to a game. My old, my old boy did 23 years in the Feds. So he was never there when I was a child, never there in the child. And you know, the chat is social media is really good.

I remember what he went in for a chat. If you all can refresh my memory, because I was a child. My father's name, Sam Brown, Sr. I think he got out maybe if I'm not mistaken, maybe 2009. And my grandma and my mama was like, why are you trying to reconcile? Why are you even trying to meet whoever your father may be? I say, listen, I just want to know who he is. I want to sit down and talk to him. You know, I want him to come check out a game. I want him to see what his son has become. I don't want to hold that
