You Have To Be A REAL MAN To Put Your Meat On The Internet

I made my first brisket over the weekend and for starters, all you experts can shut the fuck up about it. That 4.2 pound baby brisket was utterly delicious. It took an insurmountable amount of effort and focus to get that cut of meat ready for the table. Obviously I underestimated the cook time by a couple hours. And obviously regulating the temperature for 8+ hours provided more challenges than originally anticipated. But all things considered, you can't really shit on my first green egg brisket without outing yourself as a douchebag. Pick one or the other. 

In the meantime, I want to start a support group for guys that want to put their meat on the internet more often. Basically a place for constructive feedback. The guys that were hitting me up about how to build a smoke ring. The guys offering advice and sharing recipes and commending me for putting myself out there. Those are my kinda guys and I want a platform for them. But only related to meats. This isn't some broader stab at mental health or a bigger message about male relationships. I honestly just want a place to talk about cooking meats without the Meat Dicks bopping around scaring all the chicks away. 

Does such a place exist? Did I just create a billionaire dollar idea? Are there such things as horse socks?

We ponder the big stuff tomorrow on Starting 9. It's a nice tight show coming out of a loaded weekend that saw my first brisket, the reopening of a famous Lake Austin spot, Jake's fatherhood highlights and of course best practices when it comes to sex. Lots of 4th of July talk that I think should hit home. And of course the biggest stories in MLB because it's a baseball podcast after all. But we definitely talk meat. Lots of meat. 

If you're into that kinda stuff, give us a good subscribe cycle. Click, unclick, reclick. Leave a comment. Send us a blood sample. One lucky O-negative will get a free t-shirt.
