00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Jr.

4
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Rights Hi, Steve Tommy Junior. I'm forty nine years old

5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: and I cook for a living. I do it big

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: for Christmas, and this year I smoked them multiple turkeys

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: and two hams. I made gumbo, jambalaya, barbecue, ribs, and

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: chicken fried, chicken fried, catfish, and all the side dishes.

00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: My wife and I invited the same eighteen family members

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: like we do every year, but this year we did

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: something a little different. We charged five dollars per person

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: to offset our food costs, especially since our rude family

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: members invite other people over to eat. I almost got

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: to fighting with two of my cousins over five dollars.

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: Was it rude to charge them five dollars?

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm not. I'd have whooped the ass they

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: talking about fighting over this fine? I mean, for real,

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: but you're gonna come over here and eat, and I'm

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: charging five dollars per person. I'd have cooked all this

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: food is all you can eat, smogash bull you know,

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: all this ham, turkeys, all this here, try catfish, bbecue,

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: all the sides you got all set to cost you

00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,400

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: label five dollars ain't nothing if you ain't got five dollars. Man,

29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,319

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: if you tell them before they get.

39
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: There, that's the question.

40
00:01:51,720 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: I think that's better than when they got there. Cover. Yeah,

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: because five dollars, man, I'm gonna need, you know, some
