Welcome to guys a podcast about guys. I am Brian with me as a Royal Oak charcoal man, Chris James. What's up, man? Oh my God. That's the second one in a row. Fuck. No way. You're it's crazy because people surely think you're doing it like I almost do. I know that you're not because I see your physical reaction to it. But like that sounds like you're doing that on purpose, like you're saying what shop on purpose.

Like is it your new catchphrase and you're like proud of it now or something? Are you trying to own the flubs? I think it's because I said charcoal. What's your charcoal? You had the in your. Yeah, I've always. I mean, I guess I hate charcoal cuz oh cut it out. No way Well, because what's his name or what does he hate? No, he hates charcoal, right Hank Hill

Yes, cuz he's a propane guy. So that was like growing up. I never had a Dog in the race at all, but I always because Hank Hill hated charcoal. I always hated it, too Well, let's get our guests on the show. We have Eva Anderson here this week. Hey Eva. Hey guys. I'm so happy to be here. This is really fun. Do you have a charcoal preference? Are you a griller at all? Like do you grill? Yeah, a little bit. I was just thinking about this cause I just, um,

just grilled something like a month ago or just like when the weather heated up, I was making carne asada and we have this old grill that I guess we just haven't cleaned enough or like the part underneath the grill. And so it caught on fire. I turned the gas off and the fire was just going and because I caught grease or something on fire And I thought like the whole thing was gonna go up like a like a fucking car like with a hole in the gas tank or something So did how did the how did the carne asada turn out that turned out good? It was uh, yeah, that turned out fine It got a little bit charred because i got scared and i

forgot and i left it on there while the fire was going but it was fine but i do like grill what i need to now i need to solve this fix this problem before i do you got anything you got a piece you told me you got a pizza oven which is kind of grilling but yeah we got one of those I'm trying to grill it. But yeah, we got one of those. Yeah, like the uni pizza oven people are, they have their own subreddit and they're annoying too. Oh, I was there. I was on the uni pizza subreddit today.

I am a griller. Okay, great, great, great. I actually am a griller. Bought a new grill, actually, recently. When did you get a new grill? You know when I got it. It was like a couple weeks ago, my wife put it together and everybody's goofing on me

because my wife put my grill together. Yeah, no, I don't even know that. Yeah, no, I didn't even know that. Maybe you're, again, I gotta remind you, I'm not on the social media website, Twitter X anymore, so I don't really see all of your stuff that's going on in your life, you know, well, I got a grill and the guy was like, Hey, uh,

we'll assemble you for it. And I was like, go for it, brother. We'll assemble you for it. We'll assemble it for you. We'll assemble you for it. And I would just want to be clear. What's, what's, what's Brian is what's actually happening in Brian's life right now or in his career as a host. I don't know what that is, Brian. That's the magic wand. He's got some big, he's got some big metal pole. It seems like a sex thing it like he presses it and it like shoots out in like a very, very sexual

way. And but what's happening is people are sending a magic tricks or whatever to the field box and he's using them on stream. You guys hear he's using them during the podcast. He's getting distracted and it's all it's all good fun, you know, distracting, making me mad. But what's happening now is he's he's forcing himself to flop because he's distracted. I'm paying attention to what he's forcing himself to flub because he's distracted. He's not even paying attention to what he's fucking saying anymore. It's magic. First of all, it's magic. Number one. How many magic props do you have now, Brian? I have a lot of magic stuff here. I got... Well, it's not props. First of all, it's magic. Thank you for saying props. Yeah.

It's magic. Look, this is my real thumb. It's not, it's magic. Look, this is my real thumb. Whoa. And the lighting's like pretty bad too. So you like, you can't even really see that the thumb's lighting up very well. Cause it's kind of like, it's clearly very bright outside in his room.

So it's kind of bleeding in the light. Is it like a bomb? Oh, it froze. What? All right. So yeah, I am a griller. My, what? All right. So, yeah, I am a griller. My I got a grill the other day. My wife put it together because the guy said he'd assemble it and I said, go for it.

And he's she said, no, I'll do it. Like, well, shit, I'm not doing it then. I'm going to watch you through the window. Do it because a little chilly that day, too. So she put it all together and sit outside with her. No, I watched her through the back door window. And if she needed me to hold something, I did two parts of it. What were those? She couldn't figure out how to put this thing on it. And I put the thing on it and screwed it on. You know, I used to be a cable guy,

so I am pretty mechanically inclined. So let's, let's take a look at some stuff. I found a lot of wild stuff, but Eva, since you said you almost got fire in your face, I was on trust violet today and I was looking at, uh, reviews. So we're going to have a lot of reviews here of different types of grill, but Traeger is the one I was looking at. And I saw this review and I couldn't fucking believe it. So let's go to the trust pilot reviews of Traeger grills, which are smokers. Yeah, I was going to say, so, so these, cause there are different things, right? There's barbecues, smoke grills, right?

So there's like, there's a lot of different, because of course you're like, oh, let's go out and have a barbecue or whatever, but real grillers, real bar, they know you ain't having a barbecue. You're going out and having a little grill. It's much different than barbecuing something. Well, I don't know the difference, but they do. Are Traeger the smokers that are like the green eggs?

No, that's the big green egg. Komodo Joe the Traeger is a pellet grill Which a lot of grilling guys are like that's just an oven that you put outside Because you just you basically can set the temperature and put these pellets in it and they'll smoke Whatever and it's so easy to do. It's like, I would never, except for like I'm over here being all high and mighty and I have an electric smoker outside that I just set the temperature and actually my wife uses it all the time, I don't really use it.

What does she smoke usually? Salmon. Oh nice. Yeah, I do love to smoke salmon. Yeah, I do love smoke. So my, I will say this. My uncle is a, is a salmon fisherman. Like that's what he has done since he was a teenager, like captain of a captain of a, of a fishing boat and just has constant Sam, you know,

so I can get some real fresh, nice salmon at good cost, zero dollars. So that is a good cost. So Traeger is controversial, right? Because the people that have it love it and you would love it too. I mean, you put- Wait, was that all of a sudden infomercial? Because I don't have one. I want to have one.

And you would love it too. Why did you do it? That was definitely weird. I'm with you on that. So it was like the cameras going to pan to just a Traeger in the room. Totally. It felt like he was going to show us a Traeger. Someone's going to walk in to his room. The door is like visible. It seems like I was going to walk into the room with the Traeger. Holding a 200-pound smoker. Yeah. Well, and I almost bought one recently,

but I was like, can you sear on that? I had to search forever to find out you can't sear on a Traeger. What are you searing? Steak, chick, anything you smoke, except for anything you cook, you're going to want to sear a bit. I see before you're saying you're not searing it for the purpose of eating, you're searing sear a bit. Maybe a four, maybe a four. I see, before you're saying you're not searing it like for the purpose of eating,

you're searing it as like a preparation for doing something else. Yeah, so I didn't get it because, and I'm glad I didn't, because then I find out, like I said, all you can do is smoke stuff with it, which is great. And you can set the temperature, which is great. And you just throw the fucking pellets in and it goes.

But here's this guy this guy Patrick he goes and gets himself a Traeger and he goes my Traeger blew up in my face oh oh no that's what I was scared of yeah well he goes I bought my Traeger before they outsourced to China I loved it I have had it for six years, but today it blew up in my face. My hair is burned and my right arm has a first degree burn from my elbow. Oh, it really like he's not messing around. Right. But it's a first degree burn. That's not too bad. But he did burn his hair off. Yeah. My brother's face. He did burn his hair off. Yeah, my brother's face.

He went straight to the website as soon as this happened. He didn't go to the hospital or anything. He just was like, I need to. Maybe he's waiting at the hospital, maybe, because there can be a long wait at the hospital. So maybe he's in the waiting room and he's like, no, I'll go pop a little review in for this. On Trustpilot, what an odd place.

Like I noticed there, everything on trust pilot has two stars because the only time people go to trust pilot is if they're mad at something. I saw one good Traeger review on trust pilot. What is trust pilot? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Trust pilot. It's a website where you can like, let me, let me look it up because I'm sure they have like an explanation. We're all about consumer reviews. Get the real inside story from shoppers like

you read, write and share reviews on Trustpilot today. Okay, but you're not gonna go on there. I love my grill. No. One guy did he goes one, Chris doctor said, love my Traeger grill. Love my Traeger grill. Never barbecue on anything else. Now have my first one for 10 years. Just bought a new one at Costco. So that was the only good review on here. The rest of them were one star. So they got this one five starstar review and in one one-star review. I don't know I don't like I don't know so Traeger how much how much would these cost like oh, they're like a grant

They're more than you can buy one for 500 bucks That was one I was gonna buy but then I was like you rather have the expensive one if you're gonna buy a Traeger, right? So you're looking sometimes close to two. Yes. I guess you're saying you say that but it's like I don't know You know the most expensive ones better than the cheapest one. That's that's what I'm saying, Eva Honestly, that's like just his mindset about everything So he's like he's saying it's like specific to this Traeger thing But it's just any time you see something if the more expensive one he's like, well, it's gotta be Better and I guess some jet but I think sometimes it's not necessarily,

depends on what you need to do a lot of the time. You know what I mean? Like what you're gonna be using it for, sometimes maybe it would be like features. Like this one has a number of other features that you might not need. Or the expensive one would have more features. No, and that's what I'm saying.

No, no, I'm getting what I'm saying is maybe the features are not features that you require. And you're not running a professional smoker barbecue. Yeah, yeah. Like 800 racks of ribs. Yeah, it could be a size thing as well. Yeah, it could be a size thing as well. We're in or just like, yeah, this can do more. Like the more expensive one allows you to do more,

but Brian wouldn't care. Brian would just be like, no, I'm gonna get the more expensive one. But luckily I didn't. And so he goes, I started it as usual with the lid open. Once it started smoking, I closed it and set the temperature. I went out to put the ribs on, smoke was billowing out.

I opened it and it exploded in my face. My hair is destroyed and my arm has a bad burn. How can this explode like that when it's a wood pellet smoker? Don't tell me it wasn't clean. I just cleaned it. I'm so upset, both from the standpoint of getting hurt, but also because I did love the

way it cooked. Just can't trust it now. So it's like yeah he's like hurt like physically because his hair has been burned off but he's also hurt like emotionally because he trusted and loved his smokers so much and it's betrayed him you know and that's like doubly hurtful. Brian also like That's like gumbly hurtful. Brian also like, can people reply to these reviews on Trust Permanent? Or is it just, so why is he saying don't tell me it wasn't clean? Like who's he talking to? Customer service. Most of these people called Prager customer service.

I'll tell you, cause I have more reviews. Keith Mayer says, or here's one. This is one you'll find very interesting. Sam says, felt uncomfortable with customer service. One star felt uncomfortable with customer service. They try to be your friend, but I'm just here to get my problem solved. You don't care about my personal life at all. Every now and then.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. This person is mad because the customer service was too nice. Yeah. They were too friendly. I don't know that I've ever how fucking how like how what how much of a grouch is this like how old was this person? He seems ground. Don't you mean some old fucking guy I'm guessing? He's like, you don't care about my personal life at all. In regards of the grill, worst product ever.

The Wi-Fi grills are a pain in the butt and so annoying. This was a gift and I will never buy one on my own. I totally do not recommend it. So it's a gift. Yeah. You didn't even pay for it. No, I'm not trying to be fucking up the wall. These people, they don't defer. It's like the guys on the casino reviews where they're like,

uh, I went there and I lost money and I'll never go back. And like they're, it's who cares? Like there's not another casino around here. If you're going to go back, It's the sex club thing. There's one sex club in every town and those fucking guys are going to go to it no matter what. There isn't. Yeah, but there's different types of smokers, isn't there? This person could get a different type of smoker, but that is a good, I mean, Eva, that's he, this person didn't pay for it. No, it's like, if you get a gift, the idea of going and giving a review of a gift is like, oh, you get a gift and you don't like it. You're just like, oh, this is

a bad gift. I don't like it. I'm going to like be polite about it or whatever, but I'm just not going to use the idea of reviewing it. Like it's one thing to go like work hard for your money. And then you're like saving up and you're like, this is really important. And you pay for it. And then you're like, I feel like I've been ripped off. This is a bad product. But yeah, this is a real, I think this is a shit guy, probably a gift from his wife. You know what I mean? Like, and he's probably been complaining about it to hurt who

Oh, see, see her on the review. Yeah, either on the review, sent it to her email, I'm sure. Here's one I found weird from Oh, just really quick is crazy to that. He got it as a gift. I believe I agree. Probably his wife, he had a problem with the Wi Fi of it or something. Yeah, the Wi Fi. And then he yelled then the customer service was too nice. So yeah, they were well, they were like So they were so nice though, like they were so fucking like you don't even understand

It's like you're just picturing them being kind of nice Like they were so fucking friendly and nice and it's like This is it they're like, oh, you know, like, oh, you're going to do some grilling with your family. Don't fucking talk to me about my family. You fucking scout. You piece of shit. I understand that it could be really annoying when another human being is friendly to you. Don't bring my family into this. You don't know their names. You don't care about me. That's such an awesome thing. It's just being friendly, man. It's just like being friendly. It doesn't, you

know, they of course, they don't really like maybe care about it, you know, deep down, but they're just being friendly, like on a human level, getting mad about it. He probably complained about this in person to at least one person in his life about how friendly the customer service was before he wrote You like he maybe yelled at his wife about how friendly they were. Oh Then he got online he was like everyone needs to know this Maybe he's hoping it will like filter back to the customer service department so they'll tell them to not be friendly

You listen listen if I could just have a, we could just have a meeting here with everybody. So we got some reports that you guys have been being a little too friendly, if you could just, just very cold, you know, fucking. I know some of you guys don't like using the word bitch, but if you can call just call it a woman a bitch. I like using the word bitch, but if you can call just call it a woman, a bitch. Here's a guy that says these girls suck. It's a great idea, but have fallen short of all expectations. It only operates as an outside wood burning oven that requires $10 in pellets. Every time you turn it on, the range says one 65 to 500, not even close.

it on. The range says 165 to 500, not even close. It operates very well between 250 and 400 with lid shut. Not hot enough to grill, too hot to smoke. The WiFi never stays connected and does not pair again without clearing the app completely, removing the grill and reinstalling everything. In addition, sometimes it requires an alternate phone to log in for some unknown reason. Total disappointed. I have owned the piece of shit for two years and I'm finally giving up with it. I'd never write reviews unless it's exceptional or a disappointment. Unfortunately, these girls suck. First of all, I'd love to see how many exceptional ones he did.

I'm thinking there was one one time and he's done a lot of the one where he's upset about how bad it is. And finally Keith says, their junk, don't buy one, their junk, don't buy one, they don't cook anything, they warm it slowly. That first of all is what they're supposed to do. That's what they're supposed to do, right? I don't know a lot about it, but that's the function of it, right? I don't know a lot about it, but that's the function of it, right? 25 to 50 that's like how it works. They warm it slowly I have never had a fail with a gas grill, but several fails with Traeger I'm surprised they're still fooling people you better you'd be better off setting your money on fire At least it might cook something that way. That's pretty funny. So just

At least it might cook something that way. That's pretty funny. So Trustpilot is my new favorite website. Trustpilot. Yeah, the only thing that sucks is that they don't have replies because it is nice when you get a little bit of an argument going on amongst the people. That's kind of cool. So how much better? Hold on. here we go. This is what I

insulted Chris with earlier. Southerner in Ohio says is Royal Oak really better than Kingsford? These are charcoal brands Royal Oak is cheaper than Kingsford. I know that it's in a red bag because I'm you know I've always been a Kingsford guy, but the prices are killing me. I keep reading Royal Oak is just as good, if not better than Kingsford. What are your thoughts? First guy says, you must be reading Royal Oak propaganda. Royal Oak.

Yeah, where are you getting that info? Royaloak.com. It's clearly an inferior charcoal. And everybody knows that. This is a cool thing that you do though. I've been there before as a consumer, you know, where you're just like, you're fucking getting the expensive one

and it's like, it's good and you like it. And then there's like, there's a cheaper version of it that you've always avoided, but then it's like getting to be too expensive. So then you're like, you start going on and you're kind of like cherry picking positive things about the worst one you want. You know what I mean? You're like, Oh, I'm actually kind of reading some stuff here that says that it's

like better to just to convince yourself even though you know that it's probably worse, you know? Yeah, this guy goes, I bought three bags of Royal Oak, I will never buy another one rocks, chunks, chunks of concrete, pallet lumber. Never again. Palette lumber. That's bad. That's bad. I went to a party in, uh, Los Angeles last time I was there. A party, Eva, he heard, he heard about his parties that he goes to. He goes to these parties. Yeah, exactly.

It becomes an orgy after he leaves apparently. So he says, but yeah, I don't know. Have you ever been, Eva, have you ever been to a party where it becomes a Orgy? Maybe you have, we don't know each other. I haven't, no. Yeah, that's what I thought. I didn't wanna be rude.

It happens to Brian a lot. No, it happened to me. A long time ago. Yeah, but it happened. It happened a fun time. Yeah, but it happened a consistent time. Yeah, but yeah. A long time ago, I had a friend who was kind of a sex guy and they would start going upstairs at the party around midnight.

Yeah, we know. Me and my wife would leave. Yeah. Because it's turning into an orgy up there. And he would, yeah, and he couldn't fucking handle himself He knew that he would just fly, you know He knew he had to go home and they would go home and Brian they would do sexual things at home No, we did

Now Brian is like no, I did not have sex with my wife at home Well, it feels like if I said if if I admitted, yes, we did, I would get shit too. Yeah, yeah, either way there. This person said I had an 18 inch section of crown molding once. And this is in the charcoal they're saying. I don't understand that.

Is that, is that, is that common? I've only ever seen like the it's just charcoal well, they mash but so they go to places where they They use sawdust they mash a bunch of salt. Yeah, yeah, yeah together, right? Yeah, there will be stuff in it. Okay. Okay. Okay. So like So charcoal is basically like it's covered in like whatever the charcoal is. But it's there. It's just made I thought it was like a rock type thing. That's what I don't know how it's necessarily made. But this guy goes Royal joke sucks,

but he spelled it J O a K. Okay, got him got him a bit there. Not bad. Not bad. Finally, hindgrabber says the Royal Oak bag burns longer than Nicole's. Hindgrabber? Hindgrabber, yeah. The person's name is Hindgrabber. You grabbed Hinds. Is that wrong? No, no, I don't think it's wrong. It's just like a hind is like a backside. So just the guy seems like maybe a creep or whatever.

I want to inform Eva and Kristen, I did not search wife grill before I found this. Oh yeah. I was thinking that that would be a big part because it's like, that's a tale as old as time, you know, the old nuclear family, the fellows out on the back porch grilling and you know, the wives are, you're always grilling out there.

What? Oh, it's worse than that. Chris, this is worse than you're always. This is like guitar guys. Let's just put it this way. These guys are so much like guitar guys. He goes, uh, is it okay to be addicted? LOL.

The only reason I say this is because my other half gives me a hard time and always says how many grills do you need? It all started to be. That's a really good question. I'm a lay person, but I would think it would just be one. Yeah, I think too. You're already getting weird. Yeah. And you're like, because you're if you're just a regular person again, if you're like, yeah, if you're grilling, you know, for your job or whatever, then competition, your or competitive grilling, or you're like, yeah, you're making

large amounts of food or whatever for catering stuff. But yeah, I would think just for an individual one, right? I mean, you're just a lay person then. I have two already, but you have two grills though. Not two grills. I have a grill grill and a smoker and a bar. That's that's that's that. I understand.

But like to have more than one grill seems excessive and unnecessary. My grill turns into a charcoal grill. If I want it is a gas grill. If want it, and it has a griddle thing. You can lay on top, you got yourself a nice griddle. It's a three in one. I'm kind of starting to feel like maybe I should have done the research on this episode. What?

Yeah. I feel like you might legitimately be a grilling. Oh, I am. People have been getting into it on Twitter because I was kind of posting about it. I'm like, well, I am. That's getting into it on Twitter. Cause I was kind of posting about it. I like, well, I've been doing it since I've been doing it now for almost 20 years because like when my daughter was little, I didn't have shit to do. So I started learning how to grill and smoke stuff on a grill, you know?

And then I got way into it. And then I backed off for a while. Cause my wife's a vegetarian and my daughter basically doesn't eat meat either. So it's pointless to- You can grill other, but you can grill other stuff. It's not- Oh, I don't like grilling.

No, I mean- You can do vegetables for sure, but it's not- I'm a man's man. But you could do it for them. Yeah. Just because you're not having it. And by the way, it is good to listen. I'm a I like meat as much as the next guy, you know, but it's nice to mix it up with

a little vegetable sometimes. That's your opinion. He goes out. So the beginning when I bought a Brinkman single zone charcoal grill, it's nearly impossible to regulate the temps though, and that thing and sucks so much air regardless of vent status. So I found, by accident, an 18 inch Weber grill on Craigslist for 20 bucks. Never knew much about them until I started reading and found this site.

So I bought it for 20 bucks, made ribs and was hooked. Since I have made butts, chicken, etc. with excellent results. Excellent? and was hooked. Since I had made butts, chicken, et cetera, with excellent results. Excellent. He goes, then it began. I already had a Smokey Joe Silver I used at my motor home for trips and loved it. So I found the gray jumbo Joe on Craigslist with two bags of Kingsford and a Weber charcoal chimney for 18 bucks. Bought it. Then an 18.5 inch OTS on Craigslist for 15 and bought it then another almost new smoky Joe Silver for free and got that my goal is to get a 22.5 inch performer convert the jumbo to a smoker get any unique webers I find is this normal have I lost it I can't pride in queuing and smoking for family

get-togethers and family tells me I missed my calling. This drives me even more. I think I may ditch the Brinkman and that will allow me to get more webers without hassle from the wife. Please someone tell me I'm normal. He has five grills and he wants to get a sixth one. Two of them appear to be the same grill that he has. These two have the same guy. Maybe a different color or something,

or like a different version of it or something. Yeah, it seems to me like it's gone past the grilling thing now where yeah, he's become like a collector, you know? Of grills. Of grills, and I understand that as somebody who's like used to when I was younger, I collected baseball cards and I have that in me as well, where you get something and you want to get a bunch of them or whatever.

I don't specifically do it now, but that's what he's the hunt and stuff. That seems fun for him now. It sounds like his wife hates it. And it's causing problems in his relationship. And she thinks he's maybe going too much into it. But maybe if he had a nice sit down with her where he just kind of said, like, Hey, I want to be there for you. I feel like maybe if I'm not being the husband you want me to be, I can

be there in other ways. But this is something I truly love. And I would love your support in this. I won't let it take it away from our family, but I want to collect 100 grills. And where do you have to sit down because the entire backyard is full of grills. You can't have it in the backyard. Yeah, that's the problem. He's gonna have to, I was just gonna,

he's gonna have to start storing them off site. Because yeah, you're gonna run out of room. These grills aren't, some of them are small, but some of them are decent size, you know? And yeah, maybe he's like, sorry. He's like, I gotta go to the storage facility. I keep half the grills in because I wanna use the 18.5 inch Weber kettle.

Yeah, you can go to hop in the old truck and go to the storage facility. So like, you. Yeah, he's like go to hop in the old truck and go to storage facilities. So I get, you know, cause I feel like, yeah, I feel like a chicken breast on the 18.5 Weber 1973, you know, like our guy kind of, but with his grills, like, oh, I feel like driving this. And he's like, yeah, for dinner.

He's like, I feel like eating off of this today. Jim lamp replies. Oh, I'm sorry. Just think too that like baseball cards, you can keep those in a book in a closet. And you can look at it. But like girls are so big that everyone has to look at them all the time. I think that's the bigger issue here. So that's a good point. These are not- You can park in your garage.

I guess it depends on, we don't know what his situation is. He might live in a place, rural place or whatever, and he might have a huge area. Do you know what I mean? So he has a big shed or whatever that he keeps him in that's out of the way. But yeah, if it's just sort of a normal kind of, you know, neighborhood situation,

he has a backyard and a garage, then this can be a little bit much. I mean, he can't use his garage. I can guarantee that that is just he can't use his garage. Well, we don't know. He might have a do. He might have a double wide garage. Maybe he has a dually truck too, and he can't get that in there. Like you might have a dually. Yeah. Right. This guy goes, uh, Jim lamp. Now we're so he went and asked for advice on

the forum. Let's see. Uh, but that's where you go really. If, if you want to advice for dealing with your wife, uh, Jim goes rich, isn't this feeling awesome? The guy's name is rich. By the way, earplugs help when silly questions like how many grills do you need are asked. Wait, so she starts asking questions and then you put the ear right there. That seems like that's going to start a fight. Earplugs stop chompers though. You can buy it. I think maybe they would stop

and they would make a point to a chomper, that, hey, I don't wanna hear from you. And if it was a stranger, they might stop. But I feel like if it was your intimate partner and they started talking to you and you put earplugs in front of their face, then that would be seen as a hostile kind of thing, right? I don't know.

You can handle it. I'm just asking you how many grills you need. They're not fighting with you. They're just like how many grills you need. Just put the earplugs in. Exactly, it's like hostility in response to no hostility at all. This is a very reasonable question.

Well, Gary has a good way to deal with this. He goes, yes, totally normal. My response when asked why do you need all those grills was why do you need 25 purses? No. No. No. They do.

It's recurring, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's always purses. It's, or. Hair straighteners. Hair straighteners. One time a guy said hair straightener's that was a good one the guitar guy did said his wife collects hair straighteners hair straighteners but that

is so good I asked how many purses you need like these this is that's a old ass argument you know what I mean very baby I don do you have all these beautiful hats? With the hat box. He goes, why do you need 25 purses or a hundred pairs of shoes when you only wear a few of them? Her response was, yeah, good point. What other color girls are you gonna get? So his wife is cool. Oh, shit.

And he's basically like. He's a woman. Yeah, he's like, hey, so I won the argument with my wife, hey, fellas, like, you know, he's basically going into the forums saying like, this is what happened. My wife tried to give me a little bit of lip about my girls. I shut her down and she was just like, thank you for enlightening me. I'm happy that you explained this to me. She actually respects me more now.

How do you think that conversation that it's so weird. And like guys that come on these forums and subreddits and are like, my wife is actually a cool one or almost just as weird as the guys that are like my wife hates me because like, they'll come on and be like, my wife told me to buy 35 more grills. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I do feel I do like though it does make me I do like you know the support like that you know the idea of like hey but yeah you do I do sometimes feel like yeah some of them are a lot lying about it as well. Yeah Dave says you're as sane or insane as the rest of us here.

While others complain about the cost of car insurance, gas, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. We scurry around for deals on charcoal and meat, sane or insane. I say to each his own. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go buy a chuck roast as I have just one packet of pulled beef in the freezer and lunch will be here before I know it. So he's happy. He's just happy. That's how he makes his food. He grills. I mean, these guys seem pretty, they seem kind of nice. Do you know what I mean? They say,

it seems like an older crowd probably maybe a little bit of like an upper class I don't know like or like when not when I not upper-class like, you know as far as like Like maybe a richer. It's kind of rich people. Oh, it's like swingers Yeah, like the swingers are all like upper middle class, the upper class. Mark B does say this. And I think you guys are both going to love this. There were some comments come in my way as well. So I picked up the Genesis and performer this summer. All I say is, quote, no motorcycle.

And that seems to work. So he just doesn't have a motorcycle. And then she's like, or she's just like, I'm fucking lucky that he doesn't have a motorcycle. She realizes that, you know, think about them like every morning, you know, the noise of it, you know, you know we wouldn't want to get a Harley or whatever or something real loud. I'll get rid of the grills.

If you let me get a motorcycle is a good bargaining chip. Yeah, it almost does. If I like to sound. I mean, it seems childish, you know. If I found that my husband had written the original post or commented on a post in this forum, it would be like worse than finding like a dating profile, like a Grindr profile.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. For real, because that means he hates you Like if he's dating somebody maybe it's just like like if my wife is dating somewhere. I'm like, maybe she's getting someone Something there that I'm not giving but when it comes to this, it's just like My husband hates me. He My husband hates me. He sees me as a nuisance around the house. Anytime I ask him a question about his hobby, he attacks me. Because that's what it feels like. They just attack immediately. How many grills do you need? How many shoes do you need?

My husband's going out and getting advice from people who could be serial killers. Because it's an online forum. It doesn't... You know what I mean? It could be serial killers. Cause it's like, it's just an online forum. It doesn't like, you know what I mean? It could be any, it could be someone in prison, you know, typing that out and it's like, fuck your wife. You know, he's like, that guy might've killed his wife. Ryan says, hang in there. The nagging question of how many grills do you need

from the spouse will end. But when someone else asks you how many you have and you need to add them up in your head, she'll answer for you. Most likely be correct. Don't ask how I know. So now we got a guy that's living in like, I have so many girls, I can't count them. My wife hates it. She knows how many we have. And when people ask, it's all like answers really quickly, like in a way that like makes it very obvious that it's too many. And that's where they're at now. They've just kind of like, hey, we're still like kicking it. We sleep in the same bed area. You know, they're kind of like, they're just kind of limping into the finish line. It sounds like a relationship.

Yeah, let's look at will she's given up on saying anything to him about any she's given up. That's what like, the questions will end because she will give up. She's just resigned herself to this terrible, terrible life that she must now live out. Yeah, just tripping over grills and the fucking like getting out of your car. And there's a new grill next to find the Christmas decorations, like climbing over top of girls.

Some of the crazy she had to store some of the Christmas decorations in a grill. So this guy when she goes inside and he's silently on the grill forum just like angrily writing about her grills. She's tripping over the fucking grills. I could tell the other day she almost was going to bring it up and I just fucking glared at her. I stole my headphones.

Brian has pulled his headphones out and now he's pulled out his microphone cord or something. Oh no. Brian is like fully like somehow made it so easy. Can't even be heard on the show. Is a flub like I have, I heard that. I heard that. Yeah, no, I think he's, have you muted yourself on, within StreamYard? that. Yeah, no, I think he's have you muted yourself on it within, within stream yard?

Huh? So we've lost Oh, we've lost Brian, you want to let you should or you can't leave because it's your call, I think don't think he can leave. Go and come back. Yeah, we could do that. Definitely. It's no problem. I mean, the amazing thing about it is like, this is what they like. This is like the people listening.

This is the best part of the show that's ever happened because Brian can't, he's changing out the chords. No, no. I don't know what. Hello? Hey. I somehow hit a button that said bypass

on the bottom of the thing. And it must have bypassed, sorry about that. So this guy goes big green egg or Traeger, why or why not? So he's asking the sub Reddit if you should buy the big green egg, which is something I want, but it's $1,200, but we'll definitely buy at some point. My wife isn't like really into the idea of buying another grill right now. Like just bought one, but I almost bought one yesterday. Literally what we talk about, like you are, you are the same guy. You're just like, Oh, the wife doesn't really want me to, but

no, no, no, she's, she'd be fine with it. You know, I found a Traeger on Craig's list for 50 bucks yesterday and sent her the picture. And she's like, do you really need that? And I kind of took that as don't buy that. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, yesterday and sent her the picture. And she's like, do you really need that? And I kind of took that as don't buy that. And so I didn't buy it. Kind of took it as the most direct way you could say that other than just to flat out say it.

So big green egg or trigger, which I plan to have both someday. First guy goes, you ain't grilling on a Traeger. than just a flat out say it. So big green egg or trigger, which I plan to have both someday. First guy goes, you ain't grilling on a Traeger. Because it's just a smoker. So it goes, but it tastes just as good and you don't have to tend it all day. Guy responds and goes, you need high heat for grilling, which I assume he wants since this sub is for grilling. If this is a smoking sub, it's debatable.

So you ain for grilling. If this is a smoking sub, it's debatable. So you ain't growing. If it's all day, we're not talking about grilling. The next thing that goes, it's good for some people, but use a Komodo or kettle. Isn't hard at all. It's pretty easy. Once you get the hang of it, as for the taste, we all have a different palette when it comes to taste. Now that is, there is a, we learned on the Yelp foodie episode. Oh, that's true. Yeah, it's objective tasting is objective. It like everybody tastes the same thing. The guy in the foodie episode told us and then this guy goes, I just assume that a person who has big green egg or Traeger isn't fully going to grasp your answer because they don't get the two

cookers are so vastly different and then a guy goes if you drink whiskey and cook eggs big green egg if you drink white claw and smoke queso traeger now the last comment i seem i think possibly was homophobic but i don't know why it just feels that way. You know what I mean? Well, first off, you don't drink whiskey, but yes. But yeah, so we know that he doesn't know what he's talking about as far as that. He's got a baby.

He's not a classic guy. He's not like a classic guy like myself and Brian. Brian, how have you been doing? How much, we haven't talked about it in a while. You've been drinking drinking up on your papi. Yeah, constantly. Yeah, I poured some in this tea. I'm in here for just a full nap.

Oh, full of papi. I'm telling you, I must have drank a good, good 26 ounces worth since we started recording this episode here today. So I went to that, I go to this forum and there's a guy named Man Cave Meals. He's a famous YouTuber. To me, he's got a very disappointing name. The reason is because when you hear it, you're almost certain it's someone's about to say man cow.

Okay. Yeah. And so that's a very disappointing name for me personally. Well, uh, unfortunately JD and Jersey is moving on from man cave meals because I followed this guy for years, but couldn't take his content any longer. This is like 50 guys listening to us. He goes, like many YouTubers, he started out great.

Actually, I joined his forum Komodo Guru, which is now defunct years ago. It was the go-to source for Komodo cooking. Now his channel is a constant stream of complicated cooks, bourbon drinking, and basically shilling for expensive limited use barbecue grills and equipment. I realize it's a common theme, person turns their passion into an interesting channel,

gains large following, gets free stuff, and their channel becomes monetized. Kudos to them for that. But after a while, the core concept becomes diluted and branches out in weird directions. I have zero interest in watching dudes drinking bourbon on a live stream and sous vide cooking and super expensive log cookers,

pellet cookers and one trick pony. So this guy's mad at man cave meals because number one, the bourbon. He switched up on him. He will bring the bourbon. He switched up on them. He will bring the bourbon up a few more times. So Chuck- He's not a fan of the bourbon. But that's like kind of, I'm sorry to say,

but like alcohol is kind of a big part of grilling a lot of the time, you know? If we're talking that classic grilling, you know, you gotta be liquored up. Yeah. Right, you gotta be liquored up. You know, I don't drink and I'm great at grilling and you're flipping your liquor up and

you're yelling at the kids running the fucking run across the lawn. Yeah, fucking killers, you know, at the barbecue. It's class. So this guy goes, I'm surprised that man cave meals is back up. He went corporate several years back to call those old videos but there's some great channels to watch quality videos he names the virtual weber channel how to barbecue right good old smoke and joe's and hey grill hey he goes you can't go wrong with any of these you can follow along or print the recipes good stuff maynard so our guy responds again he

goes good info thank Thank you, sir He's still on YouTube and if you have difficulty sleeping any night have a look at his Facebook live streams They're terrible not the cooking ones as much as the drinking talking with dudes who are just boring and drinking bourbon snooze fast So poor man gave me So what ends up happening is man cave meal shows up in the thread So poor man gave me. So what ends up happening is man cave meal shows up in the thread. Oh no. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's fucking okay. Let's see how this goes down. This guy goes. First, we got this guy that goes, I found that almost all those sources grind my teeth, deep throated hillbillies carrying on with some sort of ridiculous hayseed stereotype jar gutter massive biker dude that is doing far more work for the desired result than necessary. Hey, girl, hey, it's somewhat less obnoxious and certainly nicer looking than those burly men, at least for me, a grill has a woman. At least for me personally, I mean, I don't know

how everybody else feels, but I personally find the woman a little more attractive than these men. I really like looking at women. I'm not really into men in that sort of sexual kind of way. I do find the woman more attractive, for me personally. I love when they do that. I love those kind of guys. For me personally, she ain when they do that. I love those guys. For me personally, she ain't bad to look at. Yeah, it is funny that he like really wanted

them to know like, Oh, I might even masturbate after I watch these videos. Oh yeah, like I'm into this in a sexual way. Why are you? Why? Just why say it? And a guy goes, Well, clearly, I'm not the only one that bailed he quit doing his weekly live stream on Facebook, which is essentially he and some other dude drinking bourbon. And there was basements and yacking about bourbon. and yakking about bourbon. This guy keeps a real thing.

Yeah, he's mad about the bourbon. He couldn't be. He's like so let down because he like really looked up to this guy. And then the guy started doing the bourbon. He's like, I don't wait a minute. I don't care about bourbon. Is he against drinking altogether? Yeah. Like, does he like it? Cause he goes, content providers don't quit such things unless they're a flop like that live stream was. So now he's like, it's a flop. So then here comes man cave meals into the thread. And he goes, thanks for your feedback. It's appreciated. I'm in the process of making a lot of changes. I'm not sponsored

by any companies any longer. I have decided to get away from that. I'm on the edge of stopping making cooking videos as well. Oh, man cave meals. He sounds dejected. Man cave meals. Don't go replying to this. Listen, I, I one time went onto the murder. Brian read it. One, no, just one time, a long time ago when somebody came into the discord and

was like, Hey, how come they're always talking shit about Chris in this thing? And I was like, I didn't know that was happening. And then my curiosity got the best of me and I had to go there and you don't want to be going it. You just listen, the truth is people are gonna have negative stuff to say about you if you're doing something where a lot of people watch it or whatever. And it's best to just not read it even if there's a lot some nice stuff in there. You don't care

about the nice. No, it's not worth it. It's not man cave meals. I'd say just just take a step back. Don't read the comments. He signed up. First of all, he signed up for this account to do this. Oh, no. Yeah, I did that. I did that. I did that. I did that on the reddit. I didn't have a I mean, I had a reddit account, I guess, but I didn't really use it. So I had to like re up the thing to make the comment.

That's the worst idea I've ever I've never been on the murder x brian reddit because it's the scariest thing to me that it even exists. You know? It is pretty scary. They're pretty nice on there to be honest. Like I don't go on there anymore. But like when I did go look at it, there was like some mean stuff about me,

but I looked at Reddit. They're generally pretty nice and like the show for the most part. Because I'm on the edge of stopping making cooking videos as well. I'm gonna be making a few more to beat an obligation I made, but beyond that, I'm going to focus my content on the live stream. Get rid of the bourbon if you're going to do

that, you're going to do the live stream. Can we try it bourbon lists? Right now, like, he's fucking drunk and emotional. I know. It's so sad. It's great, though, because he goes, he goes, which I'm now publishing as an audio podcast as well, and maybe some good live cooking.

Your comment about the bourbon is a good one, and I intend to take the bourbon conversation out of my podcast. My audience isn't there for that. One of the themes I've tried to promote throughout my career as an influencer is that tools and use aren't the key. Everything I do on video can be done on any grill you have. My video content in most cases

is always about the cook itself and not so much about the equipment unless the video is about the equipment. And he goes, I have done maybe two or three videos out of 750 that included sous vide. I know that it's impossible to make everyone happy. I also appreciate if comments like these could be shared with me so I can learn from them and hopefully improve my processes. That's the saddest post we've ever read on it. Oh, man, that's that post is so sad. That is like genuinely almost as sad as my post in the murder of Brian. Well our guy comments back. Oh no. I mean of course you'd have to I

guess or maybe not. Maybe when the creator comes maybe you run away. He goes good information and thank you for it. I'll check back and I, and like re up my subscription accordingly. Sir have been following you since you fired up the acorn you had more than a decade ago, but drifted when it went to bourbon discussion. Yes. No, listen, buddy, kick them while he's down. You've won the argument. Don't talk yourself out of a sale. Like He told you he's done with the bourbon talk and he's just like, yeah, just on my way out, I just want to mention, yeah, the bourbon shit, it sucks.

And he goes, nothing against bourbon, which it doesn't feel that way. It doesn't feel like you have nothing against bourbon. Or those that like it, it's just not cooking. So now this guy's gonna change his show for one guy he saw on the grilling forum. Yeah, it's not good either. You can't let somebody who makes one comment, you can't change the way you operate.

Maybe if you say, if a lot of people start mentioning it, you notice it becomes like a theme that people are getting it as feedback. But yeah, you can't, you can't allow one guy to dictate it. Cause again, you don't know who that person is. It's online. They could be, they could be a really bad, bad person with a lot of bad ideas, you know? So I got this picture of this guy and he says, uh, wife out of town and he's grilling and he's using aluminum foil on the grill, which you do not do because he's basically just boiling steak

and hamburgers is what's happening. Yeah. Cause the, the, the krill you have a fires underneath there, right? That's what's, that's what's cooking it, right? He's okay. That's interesting. Well, let's hear some comments. Gary the pit bull says,

maybe you should have went out of town. Why the fuck are you steaming and simmering burgers, steaks and kebabs on foil? Hopefully your wife comes home soon so she can man the grill from here on. Ooh. Next guy goes, next time let her do the grilling. Jesus.

Oh shit. I love the idea that they're like, you grill worse than a woman would. Well, this guy goes, how much flavor does the foil add? Yeah, I mean, this guy, he's being rightfully roasted here, obviously. Next guy goes, rickety-rickety. The only way you can turn these guys pro wife is by fucking up this family.

Yeah, totally. By being like worse, like so bad that they're like, God, even your damn wife could do better than this. This guy goes, hopefully she's back soon and knows how to fucking cook. Yeah, there we go. See, like this is this is like if we could utilize this in some way, you know what I mean? If we could like capture this kind of feeling and utilize it to stop, you know, all the misogyny that happens online, I think it could be helpful, but I don't know if we could do it.

I mean, I have to apologize here for this guy that goes, yes, he's probably grilling with a real man rubbing his meat. Okay, I think you've gone and taken it too far comment. Or I believe it's fine if we make fun of his grilling, but to insinuate that as a result of his poor grilling, his wife is fucking another man. This guy goes, situation.

fucking another man. This guy goes, you're a hot wife situation. It's like, it is funny to think of a hot wife situation where your wife is grilling your food and you're standing there. You're standing there watching her. It's like she's hot wiping your grill. Yeah, yeah, totally. She's going to come home from this trip and this motherfuckers in the hospital. Oh, is it dangerous? I mean, the eating aluminum foil isn't like heating up aluminum foil is not great. But the guy I'll tell you why because I

used to do it. The guy was lazy. He didn't want to clean the grill. When it gets done, you can take the foil off gr grills clean, but it just, none of the food is good. So last thing we're going to do here is some reviews of Weber kettle grills, which are the best grills you can buy. Highly, highly thought of. I had one, but I got rid of it. But I think I'm getting a new, I think I'm going to get rid of it all because I didn't take care of it. I didn't cover it at night. I do that with my grills all the time.

They last one year, cause I don't cover them. You know? Have you considered covering them? Have you considered that maybe I get other things going on in my life and I forget to cover them? Yeah. After he said that, he shot out his big fucking rod, them. Yeah. That he shot out his big fucking rod is big metal rod.

I don't know what it's about. It's a wand. It's my magic wand. Okay. So I looked at some kettle grill or Weber. First, we look at the Weber kettle on Amazon. I got the prices of everything because we know we like we look at the Weber kettle on Amazon. I got the prices of everything because we know we like to look at the price before we, so this is the- I like to know the price of something like what we're dealing with first.

This is the Weber Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill, 22 inches black. It costs $219. So it's a good price. That's for me, that's like So that's a good price. You know? For me, that's like, that's within my price range. If I was getting a grill, I could actually look at getting something like that.

So this first review, zero stars, flimsy leg and cheap engineering all around, Zoom Zoom says. He goes, this is one of the worst things I've purchased in my life. Whoa. Like, curious. Jesus. Like, think about all the things you purchased in my life. Whoa. Like period? Jesus. Think about all the things you purchase in your life. Think about as you purchase some gum

and it turns out to be like, it tastes so bad to you or what, you know, or you're like, think about some of the things that you purchase. Maybe even possibly something at a funeral home for one of your dead relatives or something like that. And this guy is saying that this is the worst thing he's ever purchased. And wait till you hear one of the reasons why is mind blowing here. He goes, you will be receiving this in a cube shape box containing the kettle

and it's very various parts. You'll have to assemble it yourself. So I think he thought they were gonna put an assembled grill on the Amazon truck and drop it off at his house. I mean, buddy. You can also cube shaped box is a very funny way to describe it. Cube shaped box. Like a box.

Not a kettle shaped box? Like, what would he prefer? You wouldn't want a kettle shaped box, though. This guy would. He goes, The worst part of the unboxing and assembling was having to actually put the legs together myself. And handle what Weber seems to think is acceptable to represent their brand. They use cheap shiny plastic rods made to look like chrome and a Convoluted process to attach them to the bottom of the kettle and then there's their method of attaching the kiddo plastic wheels with one time

retaining rings cover with a plastic cap because I won't describe the other elements used to hold the handle atop the kettle cover Over the fact that said cover has a hook designed to hang on the cover on the side of the kettle which or the fact that said cover has a hook designed to hang on the cover on the side of the kettle, which scratches the finish and paint of the kettle where it hangs from with these many five star reviews and praise. The reason why I order this, I'm a little confused as to why people have such low expectations. Well, this market is up for grabs by a better, smarter design and attention to details. We're grabs.

Listen, if anyone's reading this and you want to do a grill in this price range, this there's a big fucking opening in the market right now. I'm not the guy to do it, but maybe you are. Me, Chris and Eva are announcing our kettle grill kettle grill $229 and we're going to use the fucking sturdiest ass fucking legs you've ever seen. No cheap plastic. I mean, it sounds to me like this is a lower cost grill. No. And so this is the most expensive kettle you can get and it's not the legs are listen, I had a Weber. No, I wasn't the story just to be just to be clear. I just mean like in general, like a kettle grill is like a lower cost one,

you know, like because you know, some of these things, I don't know if you can do with grills, but with smokers have yet, like we're saying, it's thousands of dollars. So yeah, maybe the parts aren't going to be as, but if, as long as it stands up, it's the grilling components that are, you know, that's what you need to be concerned with as long as it stands in one place.

And the legs are hard to attach. I will say that this Jesse goes I grew up on you how the fuck would you know because I had one your fucking wife put it together no that's a different grill I put my other one together okay the one I threw away I wish I still had it I should have kept it Weber's last forever you know Jesse says I grew up on Weber krill and this and this thing is a piece of junk. Piece is missing. The lid fell apart within two weeks. It doesn't maintain heat. Weber, what have you done to an American classic? I'm so dissatisfied,

but you know, Amazon blacklist people for returning things. So I guess I'll deal with my very expensive barbecue piece of junk. Amazon blacklist people. No, I don't think I'm wondering now. I'm a little worried. I've been returning stuff lately. So what have you, what have you returned? Shit, you're coming off guard there. Oh, the Lego set, the mega block set. I bought a mega block set and set a Lego and the piece. What? Why'd you? Cause it was a he man one. I wanted to build a human

thing. What's the last Lego set that you got? Cause after the Titanic, have you got any other like decent builds? I've got like six since I've got a lot. I built the Orient express. I'm building dungeons and dragons. Now I'm building Dungeons and Dragons now. I'm going to be doing Assembly Square. My wife is making me buy a table before I buy any more sets though. Lego table? Yeah, I don't want to. Table.

Well, so I could build a city because I said I wanted to build a city and now I regret that I did that because now she's like, when are you going to build your city? And I'm like She's so supportive and she's Real saying is everyone always calm, but like she's trying to steer him gently towards some semblance of Organization with the Lego is what I feel because I think it's kind of strewn everywhere and he's all over Building it on he's building it like on the kitchen table like that's where he built he sits there and he watches wrestling and he builds it on the kitchen table so if you can imagine you want to come have breakfast or whatever and there's fucking Lego shit all over the place and you don't have children and you're like what the fuck am I you know what's going on I do have a child by the way I have a daughter yeah I know but you know it's not her like oh and she she's a teen she's 19 and she doesn't live there anymore really she she's at school now yeah Brian this guy's my advice

earplugs when she says yeah when she tells you thing, you just toss them in and be really theatrical with it as well. Make a big deal of you putting them in, you know? I wish I could do how many shoes do you have, but she only has like four pairs of shoes. Does she have a lot of anything? I have more shoes than she does. Yeah, I was going to say, you are like, you're a big shoe guy. So does she have anything, like a lot of anything? you don't have to say it because I don't want plans

He has a lot of plans, but it don't bother me. That's the thing. I like his plans are like fucking fantastic What is she she has a bunch of plants? She takes care of that like make your house nicer and better and the air better in the home and like yeah That's that's good for don't bother me at all though. The legos don't You know, I have Yeah, but have you thought about because remember we did on the Lego episode There's those Lego plants. Have you thought about maybe built doing some Lego plant? I have some of those here The MF studio 22 inch kettle charcoal grill porcelain enameled lid and bowl with slide-out ash catcher for about barbecue patio

This is basically the same grill, but it's a hundred and twenty nine ninety nine. So The quality is probably gonna take a dip once a check in Robert H says cheap unworthy of grilling Do not buy this grill not user friendly. I Think is one of the funniest not user friendly. I think it's one of the funniest thing. Not user friendly. You just gotta turn. I mean, I guess there is a little bit like, depend like, is this a, this is charcoal or is this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a charcoal grill. So I guess there is like maybe a little bit. You gotta like put the stuff and light it or whatever, but yeah, it's not, it's pretty easy. You just gotta put the thing on top of the grill and then get the fire going. Chris, guys, the things you need to put this together

is really the problem. He goes, you need drivers, vice grips, and six-year-old hands to assemble. So. Six-year-old hands? Give access to six-year-old's hands? I don't, personally. I will, I will.

You're about five years away. I'll go five years, five and a half years away and I'll have six year old hands. It goes no easy way to dump. Use charcoal unstable legs and the lid is not hinged. The grill part Russ, whoever designed this must be in preschool. $130 wasted. Do not buy.

So 3 ma says I would highly not recommend. Got me. Somebody likes it. No, no, no, not as capital. It's like Wayne's world, not get out of here. I would highly not recommend this grill on the first use of this, the bottom lever that controls airflow broke off. I requested, this is one of my favorite. I've never read a review for this happens. And I loved it. He goes, I requested a refund and to return it.

I was shocked at the $1,100 return fee to ship it back to China. No, no, no. He's being scammed or something. This isn't a real, do you know what I mean? That's not a real thing, it can't be. And he goes in addition. Yeah, they can't.

Well, then that's fine, it's 1200. You get it back though, they can't. It's 1200. You get it back though. They'll send you a good one that works. That can't be. That's that can't be. He's either lying or it's like he's being scammed. He goes. In addition, the quality of the other materials of the grill are poor.

I now have a broken grill and the loss of the price of a grill. So he's very sad. This guy goes, don't buy one star is closest. I can get to zero stars. I'm junk in my day, but this is the worst ever by far. I thought I was ordering a Weber. It turns out it was an Amazon bait and switch. I usually see those, but this one slipped by me. That's my bad. This pile of junk is so ridiculously bad.

I'm not even bothering to disassemble and ship back. I made a $90 mistake. Friday's trash day. Yeah, that's a, that's fair. I mean, the only thing he got wrong is that he did the review. Yes. Steve Miller, not the one we know, not the space cowboy or the gangster of love. How do you know?

I mean, if it's Steve Miller, then they need that's trouble. That's a PR fucking disaster for these girls because Miller has a platform. Oh, a huge platform. He's one of the biggest fuck. He's got one of the biggest podcasts on Spotify. Some people call me Maurice. You know what I mean? Yeah, because I thought I was ordering a Weber since that was what my search was for. It turns out that this flimsy Chinese copy is not as

well built. Even the metal is not as substantial. Very disappointed. Yeah, I mean, that's, I think that is the thing that happens on Amazon, right? Where it's like, I go look up because this isn't a Weber grill, right? Right. But I've never accidentally. No, no, no, you don't accidentally because you're not a doofus, but you do see the listings

for it. You don't click on them, but you see the listings. You're like searching for this particular product and it gives you all of these different options that are like way cheaper. And so, you know, you're like, oh, this is a knockoff. This is a bullshit version of it, you know, but it definitely does do that. It definitely puts them in front of you.

Let's get one last question out of the way for everybody. We didn't hit and people yell at us if we don't do it. Table control says, how much better tasting is charcoal versus gas? We grill about five times per week mostly chicken every couple of weeks we'll do fajitas jalapeno poppers steak once every three weeks or so because we don't need a lot of red meat. I've had Weber gas grills for 20 years of course I've eaten great food on the charcoal grill I'm just wondering if all the upfront work is really

worth it compared to the convenience of gas. Maybe buy a secondary char grill to use when I have more time. See, that's what I want to do. That's what I was saying. So this guy goes, I was born and raised on charcoal and we'll use it till the day I die. In my opinion, there's a huge flavor. I like his loyalty. I do. He goes, there's a huge flavor difference. Plus gas grills don't get as hot as charcoal. It's not that much work to start them. Just put your electric starter in and dump charcoal on top.

20 minutes later, you have a flaming fire. To me, it's about taste and gas tastes like shit to me. So obviously that answer riled Peter Hampton up and he goes, you have to learn how to use gas just like any other method, including charcoal. Anyone who can't get equally good food out of either field just doesn't know what they're doing. The flavor doesn't come from.

Oh my God. My fucking keyboard just fell off the table. What the fuck? This guy is all over the place today, man. I'll admit it. This is one of the wildest Brian episodes ever. Okay, it's not that crazy. You're just like, first off, can we just mention the fact that we were planning to do something different,
