Listen, and I say I've never seen it like that, 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. You're going to put him in vinegar anyway and soak him overnight. But anyway, so you're going to chop him up. You're going to 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 peppers. 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 want to put some barbecue sauce on him? Put that barbecue sauce on him. Slap his ass back in that oven for about another 15 minutes. Now you got some. I've never seen it like that with rice. I've never seen it. 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, maybe that's a South Carolina thing. Maybe that's specific to that region. 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. Raccoon, I've only seen it baked. I've never seen it like chicken and rice. It's almost like, because it looked like 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 aunts prepare it, my sister prepare it, I've never seen it prepared like that. Now, 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. But that doesn't mean it almost looks like

boudin. Boudin? Boudin. Oh, okay. Okay, okay. You gotta pronounce that out. B-O-U-D-I-N. Boudin.

Okay. Nah, hell nah nah so but hey like I said it's been a while but I tried I mean I've been trying to you know look guys 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 not getting no ribs. You're not getting I was just talking to my sister the other night. 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 Tuesday. Now,

if it was left over, my grandmother was going to smother fry it. You're going to get that flour and water and make and smother fry it. But on Tuesday get that flour with water and smother fry. But on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I never had fried chicken on those days unless you got it from

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, y'all want a raccoon? All they wanted was the hide, the fur. So they'd

already have the raccoon cased out. That's what they call it when they take the hide off Ocho, have him bust out but they make you leave a foot on him so you can 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 a bust down? 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 they got some trees now you go hey you get your rifle because you couldn't shoot him with a shotgun because you messed the hide up so what you want is a 22 rifle small caliber hit him in his head boom you don't punch you the fur the hide so that's now a squirrel ain't no value in the squirrel hide so a raccoon

a squirrel you use shotgun or 410 12 gauge 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 of you but they gone so you gotta you gotta turn and fire so you won't shots that spread now if you hunting deer you use a shotgun but you're gonna use you know you might use a slug or you might use buckshot how you gonna use a shotgun on a deer you gotta you're not close you gotta get for that to hit oh that's right a lot of times people hunt from a stand. So you up at a tree stand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you use a 30-30, 30-06. You know, you use rifle.

You know how to do the process of seeing how the process it takes. My brother can. No, I was young. My brother watched my uncles do it and so he would go hunting and and he do it he kill a cool he coming case him out himself yeah he could do it oh yeah my brother my brother my brother killed a deer an eight point buck yeah with a sick 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 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 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 dragging that deer out of there they'll probably weigh you know that's a big boy 150 pounds that's a big boy yeah but 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 was gonna get the ribs you thought you was gonna get the shoulder you got the hog maw you got the chitlins now, oh, you thought you was going to get the ribs? You thought you was going to get the shoulder? You got the hog maw, 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 tail. You got the tongue. You wasn't getting no good cuts of meat so what y'all thought we was gonna eat now think about oxtail and oxtails are delicacy no no people

wouldn't eat oxtails like that back in the day not not our counterparts they eat it now. You can't be, you can't, you try to go into, you try to go to the soul food restaurant, they ordering up all the oxtails. Man, 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't know, 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 wash tub. We call them wash 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 is the bottom. 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 watchtower or a tenter. As big as that is the bottom. You're talking about something like 85, even 100 pounds. Oh, you're coming home. My granny was going to cook you. For sure. Even the soft-shell 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 going to eat. You ate possum. You ate raccoon. I had a great uncle. He ate armadillo. I know I'm drawing a 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. Hey, like Cam said, sometimes you got to

tell him no. What's wrong? Now, I'll tell you this, Ocho. Now, you're talking about some pretty white meat. A possum got some of the prettiest white meat you'll see when you get him dressed. But, hey, them old folks eat 10 months. You think somebody's snapping his... Hey, you think somebody's snapping his finger. That's milk popping.

You can have that. You know what? You didn't eat it. what you gonna do if those my circumstances were like that like you then I wouldn't have no choice

but he did and I would be used to it but the fact that I didn't grow up like that the chances of me eating now you have to say I'm eating it

nah that ain't that ain't that ain't happening hey let me tell you what my grandma let me tell you hey my grandma ain't really telling what we eating my grandma just said plate on the table you ain't happening. Hey, let me tell you what my grandma, let me tell you. Hey, my grandma ain't really telling what we eat.

My grandma just said plate on the table. You ain't got to eat it. You ain't got to eat it. Hey, Grant, I don't want this. Okay, do without. Yeah. Man, part of it is do without. There are people across the river, when they say across the river,

that means overseas. They ain't got nothing to eat. Hey, chicken, you got the neck. You ate everything on the chicken, though, Joseph, the first and last part to get over the fence, the beak and the butt. You ain't eat the beak, but some people eat that little fatty part.

If you're from the South, again, you know what I'm talking about. That little fatty part right there, people eat that right there. But you got the back, you ate the back. There ain't nothing. Chicken necks, you ate the gills, you got the back. You ate the back. There ain't nothing. Chicken necks. You ate the gills. You ate the livers. I mean, everybody want the breast

because I've never had it that way. It'd be interesting to taste, but I know my sister had that thing to age. Put that thing in that pan with them onions and celery and bell pepper. Man, cover that thing up. That thing

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself

loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles,

things he believed in, his own sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey. Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest

global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No.

It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.

The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But I want my grandfather to be alive to just so he could see what me and my brother became.

That's it. Um, obviously my dad, my dad, I did. Uh, my dad was, wasn't around.

Um, he would call, um, and people have to ask why you don't really talk about your dad. I was like, I love my dad. Hell, I named my son after my dad

and I know 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. If they made it to 50, they barely made it to 50. And so I think for me to see, I would want to take my dad to the game because he wasn't a part of that celebration, but I would want my dad to go to a game. I would like for him to go to a game

when I became the player that I became, Ocho. Even though that's not a family moment, I would like for him to go to a game and be on the sidelines to see his son, his baby boy, who looks like, I look exactly like my dad.

Just see, let him see that. But for my grandfather to be there to that raised and instill what he instilled in my brother and myself and to and to like right yeah i could just imagine hey i could just imagine i don't think he gonna treat us different because we got some money on you okay that ain't happening yeah Barney Porter doesn't care. He didn't care about no money. He didn't care about nothing. He was built on respect. He was built on that. And, you know, hey, he

called you, hey, boy. Yes, sir. Hey, come turn this TV. Huh? We be outside playing basketball, Ocho. Hey, one of 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, Ocho. It's so funny. I missed that. You mentioned having the opportunity to have him come to a game. 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 it's really good i can't remember what he went

in for chat if y'all can refresh my memory because i was a child my father's name sam brown senior i think he got out maybe if i'm not mistaken 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 hatred that you guys might have for him.

And I'm not like that. You wasn't here. They want me to hold that same disdain and distaste that they have for them. It just wasn't in me. It wasn't in me because I was so curious. I was so curious as to who my father was.

He got out of the feds, man. Had an opportunity to meet him. Had an opportunity to meet him. Had an opportunity to sit down with him. I learned that he likes cigars. He liked tobacco. Liked smoking out of a pipe. He came and watched me in New England when I was in New England.

Out of the way. Maybe that's a Cali thing. But we wanted something else different. I can tell me and Bryce cut from two different clothes. The grip I wanted, it wasn't no socks on, Joe. Now, as a matter of fact, we need to go. I got to see that guy and see where I can get them grippy socks. He was talking about it in Houston.
