You're on seven hundred WLW you know, 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.240 every single year, and I don't know Evan Andrews from 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.120 Montgomery in how long you guys have been doing this 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.080 part of his whole since he favorite thing come together. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.520 First off, good morning, good morning, uh nineteen minute talking 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.080 to you for the last ten minutes, so I should 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.320 have said it on the air. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.120 That's all right, good morning an always great seeing you man, 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.880 good being here. So nineteen ninety four was the first 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.680 year I shipped ribs and barbecue sauce. And you can 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.560 imagine back then the internet was in its infancy. If 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.640 he had a website, there were no PDFs, there was 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.320 no online credit card authorizations. It was on the phone, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.080 but it was. It was a lot of fun. It 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.400 was an inspiration from a friend of mine in Cleveland 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.880 Christmas in ninety three. He called up and said, can 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.160 you send me ten slabs of ribs? Absolutely, we had 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.480 a company called Peak Kg's. They were the ones that 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.720 handled it for us. They would pick up the ribs 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.360 and from that point I had no idea what would 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.120 happen to him. About three months go by, he calls 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.000 up and said, man, the ribs were great, but I 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.720 thought we were best friends. I said, what do you 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.120 mean he goes It was five hundred and fifty dollars, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.080 I said, for what he goes for the ten slabs 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.080 of ribs. I got the receipt. They charged him like 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.280 three hundred and ten dollars for packaging and freight and 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.760 everything else to go to Cleveland. I think I would 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.120 have driven it to him for about fifty bucks. But 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.040 that was the inspiration. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:31.720 That was it. 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.040 The light bulb went off and I said, I think 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.200 we can do this in Cincinnati's an interesting town. We've 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:42.520 got cooler manufacturers. We have a dry ice company just 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.920 up the road in Vandelia, just outside of Dayton. Everything 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.840 you need is right here corrugated. So this town's pretty 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.920 vertically integrated. It's not like you have to go to 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.600 Chicago to get coolers. So talk to the folks. Put 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.040 it all together. In April of ninety four, we were 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.360 in business ship and ribs and barbecue sauce. 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.320 I'm kind of cure, and I mean, I would think 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.560 that this goes on year round naturally, because there are 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:08.120 people year round that would love to have Montgomery ins, ribs, sauce, 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:13.480 whatever the case may be. But how much of your 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:19.080 business now is in that part of the business, I'd say. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:20.440 It's almost twenty five percent. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.200 An it's about twenty five percent of the business year round. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.559 It's an amazing, amazing business. It's pretty it's pretty great 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.840 to be honest with you. You know, we do the work. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.960 We have greaters.
