9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Well, thank you so much for your time book. You

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: played seventeen years in Major League Baseball, one of the

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: greatest infields that the Baltimore Orioles put out there with

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: Brooks Robinson, Mark Bolanger, Davy Johnson. How fun was that

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: playing first base watching those three guys put the leather

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: out there.

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a lot of fun.

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: And you know, for the first five years of my life,

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: I was a left fielder and I played behind Brooks

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: Robinson and Louis Apparucios left field, and I didn't get

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: a lot of ground balls of left field. Those guys

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: sucked everything out of course, you know, and then we

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: had Davy Johnson and Jim Genteel was in Baltimore and

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 3: I wasn't going to but I was the first base one. Really,

23
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: I didn't have any business being in the outfield, but

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: and I did.

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: Okay out there.

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: You did great, boo, you really did. But I want

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: to go back. You signed with the Baltimore Orioles and

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: you ended up coming into big leagues. As you say,

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: as a left fielder, how nervous were you when you

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: first came up to the big leagues.

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: Well, my first game in the big leagues was in

32
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty one on I don't know the exact date,

33
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: but it was in Yankee Stadium and Roger Morris at

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: number fifty eight in my first game.

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: And I drove in a lee run.

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty good for your first game. Nothing wrong with that.

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: I struck out.

38
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: I struck out the first time, and the second time

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: I got a base, drove in a run and we

40
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 3: won the game with that run that I drove in.

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: I don't remember it. I don't remember all the details, but.

42
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Pol joining me on the extra inning postgame show book.

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: You hit three and thirty nine home runs. You hit

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: three home runs in one game three times, three times

45
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: you did this. You were an excellent power hitter. As

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: I say, the numbers are there those days. You must

47
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: have been seeing the ball like a beach ball. Tell

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: me about those home run games.

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 3: Well, the first two were against Washington, and they're pitching

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: staff love quite special, and I hit.

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: Them really good.

52
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: As matter of fact, I hit ten home runs against

53
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: Washing and two years in a row, you know, just Washington.

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: And then on.

55
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: The last one I hit three in Boston and Jim

56
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: lomborg I hit the first two off of Jim Lomblerg

57
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: and the third one that I hit was off a

58
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: guy named John Wyatt. Used to call call him the

59
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: Green Goose, and he was. He was well known for

60
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: loading them up.

61
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: And he threw me. He threw me one of those.

62
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: And I hit it right over the over the fence

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: down the left field line in Boston. We won the

64
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: game for it and nothing. So when the big deal,

65
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: you know that's what I did.

66
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: You sure did. And let's go to nineteen seventy, a

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: fabulous year. You were voted the al MVP. Of course

68
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: that year in the Baltimore Orioles won the World Series,

69
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: and numbers that year prestigious at to ninety seven batting average,

70
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty six hits and one hundred and

71
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: fifty four games. You played twenty eight doubles there, and

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: again big number, thirty six home runs, one hundred and

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: fourteen RBIs. Everything was good for you as a cleanup hitter,

74
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: and everything was portrayed as an MVP year. How things

75
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: worked that year? How consistent did you stay?

76
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: Oh?

77
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: That was it was a good It was really a

78
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: good year. But it seemed to me that the year

79
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: before sixty nine for me was a better year. I

80
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: drove in one hundred and twenty one the year before,

81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: and to me, that's what that's what that's what hitting

82
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: is all about, striving in runs.

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: It sure was run.

84
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the hitting home runs.

85
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: Takes care of itself, and doubles and all that that

86
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: takes care of itself. But riby's are where it's at,

87
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: and that's how you win games.

88
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: And that's all I wanted to do.

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: And I drove them more runs, and Killbrew won it

90
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: in sixty nine and still say anything about that, you know,

91
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: And of course he had a wonderful year at forty

92
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: and drove it one hundred and thirty some, but he

93
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: hit two sixty.

94
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: I hit three h five in sixty nine, so.

95
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: You did in sixty nine. You had better numbers than

96
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: you did in nineteen seventy. What you just talked about

97
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: in Killer brew edit that'ched you in there, and and

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: overall numbers, you know, exceeded what you thought you were

99
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: going to get in nineteen seventy. And it's just amazing

100
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: that the year after, when you should have won it,

101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: you didn't. But you should have won it both years.

102
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: Booth. I think they gave it to me because they realized.

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: And Killer came up to me to start a spring

104
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: training and he says, you got He said, you've been had,

105
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: he said. He says you had a better year, and

106
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: I did. And I said, Killer, I am not sorry,

107
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: I says. And we had a good relationship together, and

108
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: he was. He was a special guy. And you know,

109
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 3: the next year, I want it, and I'm down in Miami.

110
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: I'm sitting out my boat with my daughter.

111
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: My daughter's like my daughter's three years old, and I'm

112
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: sitting out in the boat with her, and we did

113
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: all the press and all that stuff sitting on my boat.

114
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: That was pretty fun.

115
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: That had to be a good memory too, with your daughter.

116
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: But Boo, your dad gave you this nickname and a

117
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: nickname that my parents used to call me too, because

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: I grew up in the Midwest, and he used to

119
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: call you a booger, and a lot of it was

120
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: just just being a little honorary kid. My mom used

121
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: to say the same thing to me. But it seems

122
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: like your dad stuck that name to you. Tell me

123
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: how that happened.

124
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: Well, they were just sitting there the way I understand it,

125
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: I came out and my mother and father were there,

126
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: and I was about I'm about three years old, and

127
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: everybody was sitting around, and I came out into the

128
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 3: middle of the room totally naked, said, look at that

129
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: little booger. But that's that's the that's the clean version.

130
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: That's a clean version we can only talk about on radio.

131
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: Well yeah, And then then my aunt Eunice says, I

132
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: don't remember it that way, And I says, well, what

133
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: do you remember?

134
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: She says, well, I remember when you when you were

135
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: two or.

136
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: Three years old, there was a radio show and like

Speaker 2: I t I've.

139
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: Tried to look it up and it doesn't exist, and

140
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: it must have been just a little local something something,

141
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: and she said.

142
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: Where's that little booget?

143
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,160

147
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: need to get rid of that nickname. Now here's a

148
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: guy named Dizzy. I had a brother named Day and

149
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: he's talking about my nickname. I says, I think I'll just.

150
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: Leave it like it is.

Speaker 3: Uh? Well, my teachers did the school and that was about.

155
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: That's about when it stopped. And you know, ever since then.

156
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: And one of the sports writers in Baltimore, John Steadman,

157
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: he says, and I used to like to sign autographs

158
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. He says, why do you use

159
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 3: your last name? I says, what do you mean? He says,

160
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: all you need to do is write Boot, You're You're

161
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: the only one. That's one of the true regrets that

162
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: I had that I didn't start doing that sooner.

163
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: Well, Boog, you played defense pretty well. You had a

164
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: defensive feeling percentage over nine ninety over seventeen years, just

165
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: over one hundred and thirty errors, but a lot of that,

166
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: Like you said, seventeen airs in left field, but just

167
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: a little over one ten at first base. But when

168
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: you're looking at over almost two thousand games in the field,

169
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: those numbers are pretty damn good for a first base.

170
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I was a little disappointed when I got

171
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: traded to Cleveland in seventy five.

172
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: I thought that I had the.

173
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: Best year ever as a fielder. And what's his name,

174
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: George Scott was over first place for Boston and everybody.

175
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: He's about far the best, not the best. But when

176
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 3: you look up Georgia Steps in nineteen seventy five, he

177
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: made thirteen ers playing first place.

178
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: I made three, handling the same amount of chances.

179
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I wonder why you don't have that gold

180
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: glove sitting on your mantle there.

181
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: I really wanted that.

182
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: I really wanted it because I worked part of it,

183
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: you know, and I had soft tads. I always had

184
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: soft tags, and you know, I just maybe I wasn't

185
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: the fastest guy, but I got to I caught it.

186
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: You sure did in nineteen sixty six. In nineteen seventy,

187
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles won the World Series. But also, you know,

188
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: you had thirty three postseason games. You hit over two

189
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: sixty four double six home runs. Eighteen RBIs a solid

190
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: postseason run by Boom Polell. What were your thought pattern

191
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: going into a latter part of who we're going into

192
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: October trying to stay focused for those postseason games.

193
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, my fondest memory is in sixty nine, the first

194
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: year that they had the playoffs.

195
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: I had the divisions.

196
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: It just didn't seem right because we want our division

197
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: by nineteen games, I think, and watch if we have

198
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: to play anybody, but Minnesota. Minnesota won their division, so

199
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: at that time they were only two. And so anyway,

200
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: we go to Minnesota, we beat them, We beat them

201
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: two games there, and then we come back to Baltimore

202
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: and we won one and bang, we're in the playoffs.

203
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: And then I said, you know, what's a big deal.

204
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: But it would have been a big deal if they

205
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: would have beat us and we won our division by

206
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 3: nineteen games. But you know, as you know, in a

207
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 3: short series like that, anything could happened.

208
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: Boot Paul joined me on the extreating postgame show for

209
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: a few more minutes. Miller liked commercials. One of the

210
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: best things Miller like did for their brand, and you

211
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: were part of it. How fun was that doing those

212
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: commercials because every one of them was hilarious and you

213
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: were a big part of.

214
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

215
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: They gotten into the marina business down here in Florida.

216
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 3: And I was sitting I was watching him. I was

217
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: watching our thrownberry, you know, sitting there saying, I still

218
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 3: don't know why they wanted me to do this commercial.

219
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 3: And I said, you know, I could do that. So

220
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: I made a phone call to an agent in New

221
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: York and talked to him and said, well, why don't

222
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 3: you come up and we'll do a you know, we'll

223
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: do a trial. And uh so I went up there

224
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: and I did that and they liked me. Then they

225
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: said we need an umpire. So you know, my deal

226
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: was that Jim Hankichick came in and then uh in

227
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: the commercial, Jim Hanicheck's trying to read the label on

228
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: the ball and he can't read it. And I took

229
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: my glasses off and I handed my glasses to Jim

230
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: and I said, here, Jim try and they put, oh yeah,

231
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: it says here got third least dollars.

232
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: It tastes straight. And he said, oh your boop.

233
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: Oh oh great commercial commercial.

234
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 3: I did seventeen and I had the most fun I

235
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: ever had, as we used to say, with our clothes on.

236
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: Man, it was. It was great.

237
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: And Bob Buker was, you know, right in the middle

238
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: of it all, and you know you was. He was

239
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 3: unbelievable to be around.

240
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: He was hilarious. And your commercial stands out. I still

241
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: remember it very vividly. But as we finish up nineteen

242
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: ninety two Boogs Barbecue at Camden Yards, and boy, you

243
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: had lines going down the aisles all to get Boogs barbecue,

244
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: I got to ask you, what's your favorite entree there?

245
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: Well, we we we were I got when we decided

246
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: to do it. I worked with the chefs at Ara

247
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 3: Mark and we worked for about about two months on

248
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 3: different menus and different things to do. And one of

249
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: the favorites in Maryland where in Baltimore, is a dish

250
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 3: called pitt beef, and there are sixteen pound pieces of

251
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: top round and we just burn them off a little

252
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: bit in the ovens upstairs and we put them, brought

253
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: them down to the grill and we burned them a

254
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: little bit there and slice some paper fin and I

255
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: try to serve it medium rare, and it's it's as

256
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: good as any steak you ever had.

257
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: And anyway, I said, this is it.

258
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: So and then we added we added turkey, and then

259
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: for like quite a few years we had we had pork,

260
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: we had pole port, and then we did ham last year,

261
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: but we cut the ham out this year. We're just

262
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: doing We're just doing beef and turkey now. And we

263
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: had no idea what was going to happen. I mean

264
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: opening day and nineteen we had about I don't know,

Speaker 3: we had maybe two hundred pounds of meat.

266
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: Wow, we were sold out before the game started.

267
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,880
