Ep. 30 - The Queen Returns & Brisket Finger
Ready Set BBQ Podcast
09/08/21 • 50 min
In this episode I am joined by Hector, Jaime and Hiram from Los Angeles. We also welcome back the Queen of BBQ, Alma Vera. We start with out Joe review of the Jake Paul and whether we thought the fix was in. Things go off the rails when the gang predicts he will fight a donkey in his next fight. We talk about the next upcoming barbecues in the following months and which we predict we will compete in.
There is still time to enter into the context with Elda's Kitchen. We are announcing 3 winners who will each win a 3 pack of Elda's Kitchen's top selling sauces. Just tag 3 people on our post.
Jaime gives a barbecue review on a local bbq restaurant called Ace's BBQ. He orders a barbecue botana for 4 people. The botana was a pizza box filled with chips and nacho cheese topped with 3 smoked meats. He also provides a review on another local restaurant where he went to have a chicken fried steak.
I give Yuengling beer another try with their light beer offering since most of the team prefers the light stuff these days. We are still not blown away with our reviews. Hiram wants to know the best way to present brisket to someone who has not tried your brisket before. Hector's answer might surprise you. We also give a review of what we think of the snake method of lining up your charcoal in a barbecue pit. We play a game called was it a cookoff or tailgate as I present scenarios of stories and the team guesses if it was a cookoff or a tailgate.
In honor of Hector's birthday we talk about what we remember from our 21st birthdays and reminisce about the first time we drank or got drunk. Hector takes over the red carpet as he tries to play matchmaker for Hiram and Kaley Cuoco.

Ep. 36 - Smoke Crafters & Sausage Making
Ready Set BBQ Podcast
10/20/21 • 46 min
In this episode we are on location as we do a remote podcast from Smoke Crafters Barbecue (Awesome location). I am joined by Jaime, Hector and Johnny as we sit down with our friend Jaime (Co-owner of Smoke Crafters. We start by talking a little football as we ask Jaime about his fandom between the Cowboys or Texas. Jaime argues that the Cowboys have the best offense in the NFL. Hector may beg to differ.
We then discuss the feast we just finished before recording. We had a spread of Brisket Waffle fries, brisket mac & cheese, brisket sandwiches, carnitas sandwich, brisket street elote, two kinds of sausage, bread pudding, brisket burnt ends, and an oatmeal cream pie. Food was all great. Jaime gives us a little bit of history behind Smoke Crafters. From starting as a catering business, to a food truck to a full blown permanent location. He gives our fans some tips on cooking barbecue.
We talk about making sausage. We tried the Jalapeno Cheddar sausage and an Italian sausage with marinara sauce. We ask for some advice on how we can make our own sausage and some dos and don'ts. He gives us some examples of some exotic recipes that he's played around with. We are a little surprised about how much work goes into making your own sausage.
We finish off by talking a little movie night as Smoke Crafters will on occasion host their own movie nights. He tells us about some up coming movies they plan to show during Halloween and some plans for expanding the location.

Ep, 98 - Huge Weber & Not So Sunny Cali
Ready Set BBQ Podcast
03/22/23 • 46 min
0 mins
In this episode Jaime and I welcome back Hiram from Los Angeles. All the guys are remote tonight on a rare Taco Tuesday as we decide to put out another episode for our fans. This time all of us have had a chance to catch up on the Chris Rock Netflix special. We agree that most were just waiting for the 5 mins that he talks about Will Smith. Banks are going under, and JP Morgan Chase makes a costly error buying bags of rocks for over millions of dollars. Tik Tokers are now eating dog food to meet their body building protein gains. Hiram goes to a Laker game and is now a private suite guy moving forward. The new movie about how the Jordan shoes came to be and Matt Damon is not playing Michael Jordan. Hiram gives us the low down on Taylor Swifts new tour as I bring up a class at UT Austin that just breaks down her lyrics.
1:00 min
BBQ time. I give a product review about the 26" Weber Kettle. My brother brings his over so we can grill some wings. We were able to cook 50 wings at one time with this awesome pit and it stayed super-hot the whole time. Tune in to get a Joe Tip from my brother Eric on how to properly cook wings on the Weber kettle. We have the Harvest Christian Academy cookoff this weekend. This one is in Edinburg and will have over 100 vendors at the event. I ask the guys if they have had deep fried ribs before as I've been seeing lots of videos lately about this new trend.
30:00 min
Hiram tells about the California weather on this first day of Spring. It's not so sunny in Cali as they have had rain for the past month. He tells us about the terrible driving conditions and drivers. The weather may be affecting people as I share a story about a man that charges some cops with a metal pipe. Another story involves a Brazilian model who also gets shot by the cops after a scuffle with her boyfriend.
40:00 min
I ask the guys if the Rock is still movie Viagra. Lately it seems that the Rock is not the franchise saver he once was. They guys say it's too much Rock exposure everywhere from commercials, Superbowl, XFL, movies, etc. Meanwhile Ryan Reynolds is selling companies for Billions of dollars.

09/06/23 • 46 min
0 mins
We are back to the skeleton crew with as Jaime and Hiram join me to discuss some of the latest headlines. It's football season as we prepare to watch week 1 of college football. We talk about the weekend's games and then dive into some NFL talk with a surprising trade by the Cowboys to pick up Trey Lance from the Niners. I ask the guys who their GOAT quarterback is after an interview with Joe Montana reveals his own best QB. We also get into some boxing and celebrity fights coming up between traditional and nontraditional fighters.
20:00 mins
BBQ Time - I tell the guys about a new twist on surf and turf that I tried out. I saw this on Jess Pryles's page and used all of her products for this. I tried the new Hardcore Carnivore sausage links with shrimp on a skewer seasoned with her Hardcore Carnivore seasoning. Super fan Eddie likes what I did and did his own level 100 twist on this dish. Totally one upped me on this one. Jaime gives some props to Juniors as we tried their fajitas for the first time. Solid selection with very little effort and no added seasoning. Hiram tells us about a Gucci party he attends in the Hills for the second year in a row. You'll have to tune in to hear about the spread they had along with live music and views of the Hollywood sign in the hills. I talk about practicing some ribs as the American Royal cookoff nears.
33:00
Hiram tells us about the writers' strike and how we probably won't get episodes of our new shows in the fall. Taylor Swift is coming to the AMC theaters in October so now everyone can watch the Eras concert. We've got Labor Day Weekend coming up. We talk a little bit about the acceptable distance for someone to smell you when you are wearing cologne.

We've got a full house for this part 1 of the Season 5 finale. Joining me on this one are Jaime, Evee, Hiram (in person), Johnny Deep, and our special guest back on again, Captain Mike Barerra from Old Salt Charters. Mike tells us a little about fishing out on the bay and a current raffle his company is having with some prizes located from local businesses. Mike cooks us up a feast of fried shrimp and home made french fries.
20:00 mins
BBQ Time - We ask Mike if he misses competing in cook offs and if he plans to come back. Jaime wants to know if he would rather have a call or a catch. Eddie from Chillin n Grillin smokes some briskets for Evee's graduation party. We talk about the upcoming Smokin on the Rio cookoff in Mercedes. Mike has some breaking news about this cookoff. Looks like we'll be competing in this one.
30:00
I ask everyone what they are eating for Christmas dinner. We had all kinds of answers from Prime rib roast, tamales, menudo, and brisket. This year it looks like we'll be having brisket however no one is having turkey. We ask Hiram what they eat in Los Angeles but can't get a clear answer out of him. Looks like no one eats in La La land.
The guys close out the podcast talking about Nick's mustache again.

Ep. 116 - Beef Tips & Hook’em Horns
Ready Set BBQ Podcast
09/13/23 • 46 min
0 mins
We are back to the skeleton crew with as Jaime and Hiram join me to discuss some of the latest headlines. It's football season as the NFL season finally kicks off. We talk about some of the highlights and lowlights of the weekend. Jaime thinks Aaron Rodgers is going to be the MVP of the season. Oh boy if only he had a crystal ball. Texas pulls off the game of the year in week 2 as the topple Alabama in a crazy exciting game. Hiram talks up Deon Sanders and all the hype train that may be real at Colorado. We wonder what's going on with Britney Spears as she goes on a posting rampage and wardrobe malfunctions in Cabo.
20:00 mins
BBQ Time - We cook up some beef ribs for the Texas game. Eric puts a little twist on them as he adds some apple habanero barbecue sauce. Game changer. We also cook up some mollejas and as Hiram how often they eat them in LA. No Surprise at the answer he gives us. Jaime still can't comprehend how vegans don't want to eat meat. Hiram tries to explain how they value living animals but some are cool with eating fish because fish are dumb and it's ok to eat dumb animals. Our buddy Jorge cooks a suckling whole pig and sends us pics. That leads to a whole conversation about cooking and eating animals with their face showing.
30:00
We talk about ideal first date locations and where you should not take someone on a first date.
Shout out to our friends at Chillin N Grillin on their 3rd place call at the local cookoff. We then talk about plans to have a taquiza for our sisters birthday in a few weeks. Hiram wants some new boots to sport in LA. Jaime tries to convince him to get something exotic like endangered baby albino alligator skins. We think he should peacock as he is in LA.

Ep. 70 - Toothpickgate & Dead A$$ Last
Ready Set BBQ Podcast
07/13/22 • 47 min
0 mins
In this episode I am joined by Jaime, Johnny and Isaac. We start off with some headlines talking about our fellow Longhorn Kevin Durant. He keeps making some questionable decisions that have us questioning his character. We then talk about one of our favorites on the podcast, Elon Musk. Some news came out this week that he knocked up one of the CEO's of one of his companies. Jaime thinks he's just listening to his advice on the podcast and thinks all rich guys should leave it in. We then talk about another billionaire who is in trouble for sexual misconduct, Vince McMahon.
11:00 min
We give a recap of the Texas Cook'em High Steaks in Edinburg. We were very happy with our spot this year once again but again some of the cooks did not have it as good as us. Who has it better than us....nobody. I then give a recap of the results and we have one very good call but a disappointing day overall. Everyone forgets to bring an ice chest as we try to find ways to keep our meet, 80 water bottles cool and most importantly our beer. Johnny's tents don't survive the windy day. We talk about the new set up and how we enjoy the new location. Then we get into the SCA (Steak Cookoff Association) portion of the cookoff. As always Brett ran an A+ show but we bring our Mickey Mouse operation to the competition. Hear about the huge mistake we make that could have cost us some big money.
30:00 min
We continue to talk about the steak cookoff. Johnny has an idea to do away with all the meats and just make it a steak cookoff. We talk about the lack of steak cookoffs in South Texas and how it would look like if it was just a steak cookoff. We put our promoter hat on and talk about some changes that could be made in the future of this cookoff. We think that more backyard guys and joes could possibly compete if it was only a steak cookoff. We ask the questions to the joes to see what they think.
40:00 min
Johnny takes the show on the road once again as he makes a visit to Valentina's BBQ in Austin, Texas. Right away he is not impressed by the set up and port o potty bathroom. He also takes a look at the menu and once again not happy about it. His experience at Smoke Crafters BBQ in Mission Texas makes him question how this Austin eatery can be so popular if it doesn't even compare. I guess ignorance is bliss.
