They are here, they are catering this event and I was told that the phone number that they've got on the side of their truck is a Louisiana number.

00:03:42.617 --> 00:03:44.582

00:03:57.088 --> 00:03:58.349
I used to go over there quite often.

00:03:58.349 --> 00:04:00.433
I'll bet you did back in the day.

00:04:00.433 --> 00:04:02.480
Back in the day, back in the day.

00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:02.941

Uh, texas went to a 21 for drinking age.

00:04:18.653 --> 00:04:23.562
Well, over there it was still 18 and they had this revolving band stage.

00:04:23.562 --> 00:04:28.247
So one band was playing, the band that was coming on would be playing the same song and it would revolve.

00:04:28.247 --> 00:04:31.069
Saw both of the Winter Brothers over there.

00:04:31.088 --> 00:04:33.930

00:04:39.454 --> 00:04:40.615
Yeah, yeah, it was, it was.

00:04:41.637 --> 00:04:48.432
Pelican, I don't think so I do.

00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:51.283
You can dress them up, but you can't take them anywhere.

00:04:51.302 --> 00:04:52.786
I've got my Traveling Tom's coffee truck.

00:04:52.786 --> 00:04:53.307
We already did that, no.

00:04:53.327 --> 00:04:53.869
I've got mine.

00:04:53.869 --> 00:04:55.632
Though You've already got yours, I've got mine.

00:04:55.632 --> 00:04:56.653
Okay, it's good.

00:04:57.879 --> 00:04:59.206
Traveling Tom's coffee truck.

00:04:59.699 --> 00:05:03.369

00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:19.959
Tech Force Foundation is soliciting feedback from new technicians in high school and post-secondary students enrolled in automotive training programs for its inaugural Tech Talk survey.

00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:38.130
Nonprofit foundation, which works with students and professional technicians as they further their careers, wants to glean I like that word, glean the insights and perspectives from aspiring technician students and working technicians in their first two years of employment.

00:05:38.130 --> 00:05:46.170
Interesting Foundation said there are currently three technician openings for every tech school or community college graduate.

00:05:46.170 --> 00:06:00.389
Wow, part of the problem is young techs quit after a short time on the job Survey is open to all young technicians in the automotive, aviation, collision, diesel restoration, welding and other related programs.

00:06:00.389 --> 00:06:02.379

So go to TechForce one word, techforce Foundation and get whatever it is that you need to glean from that.

00:06:15.372 --> 00:06:30.891
Okay, ford Motor Company has issued a call to action to suppliers asking for help reducing costs on electric vehicle production, where the automaker is bleeding billions of dollars.

00:06:30.891 --> 00:06:36.850
The memo offers a look into how heavily Ford is leaning on suppliers to help with EVs.

00:06:36.850 --> 00:06:46.031
It comes even as many of those suppliers grapple with dramatically lower volumes and production delays by Ford and other customers.

00:06:46.031 --> 00:06:59.035
The EV business has been an enormous money loser for Ford, which anticipates, its Model E unit will rack up $5.5 billion in losses this year.

00:06:59.035 --> 00:07:05.285
The automaker's competitors, especially General Motors, have poured massive investments into EVs.

00:07:05.285 --> 00:07:12.899
In the battle against Tesla and fast-rising Chinese automakers, they had some serious doo-doo over there.

00:07:13.201 --> 00:07:21.303
I'm telling you how they can justify continuing Politics aside.

00:07:21.303 --> 00:07:23.925
Just look at the money, just look at the dollars and cents.

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.048
Well, it's all about the politics actually.

00:07:26.048 --> 00:07:30.233
I don't know what's happened.

00:07:30.334 --> 00:07:32.425

00:07:32.425 --> 00:07:37.149
Tom Mach-E's, mach-e's, apparently, so he's Mach-E'd out, he's Mach-E'd out.

00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:38.877
Serene is on the floor over there.

00:07:38.877 --> 00:07:40.581
He just fell out over there.

00:07:40.581 --> 00:08:08.870
Us safety regulators investigating Alphabet-owned Waymo after reports that its autonomous driving systems led to collisions or violated traffic laws, and it's said it received 22 reports of incidents where vehicles equipped with Waymo's fifth-generation autonomous driving systems were either involved in crashes with stationary or semi-stationary objects, collided with parked cars or generally violated traffic safety laws.

00:08:08.870 --> 00:08:19.632
Initial evaluation confirmed Waymo's autonomous driving system was either engaged during each incident or disengaged moments before the incident, according to NHTSA.

00:08:19.632 --> 00:08:21.487
These stories from Automotive News.

00:08:21.487 --> 00:08:24.487
So don't get in a Waymo car.

00:08:25.209 --> 00:08:25.331
No.

00:08:26.380 --> 00:08:27.663
All that stuff is.

00:08:27.663 --> 00:08:31.029
They pushed it too fast, too soon.

00:08:31.050 --> 00:08:32.493
They did it way more Waymo.

00:08:33.299 --> 00:08:35.565
They did it way more than they should have.

00:08:35.565 --> 00:08:36.267
Yeah exactly.

00:08:37.408 --> 00:08:42.427
Ours Waymo Way more than they should have Waymo fast.

I got the cruise all ready to go.

00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:10.394
Well I did want to mention to everybody that next weekend, as our commercial says, is Tailpipes and Tacos at the Loopy Tortilla Tex-Mex in Katy.

00:09:10.394 --> 00:09:16.331

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.889
We might pick you other than picking our nose.

We're going to do it, even if it snows, we're going to do it, yeah.

00:09:28.621 --> 00:09:30.827
I think there's about a 90% chance of no snow.

00:09:30.827 --> 00:09:32.491
Okay, and we're going to be there.

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:39.153

Thanks so much for joining us for our live Saturday broadcast here from Gulf Coast Auto Shield and I have to tell you that if you're interested in coming out, please come on out.

They're going to be here a few hours after we leave, but it's a great event.

00:13:47.049 --> 00:13:51.890
Gulf Coast Auto Shield is on the West Sam Houston Parkway.

00:13:52.937 --> 00:14:03.145
The we'll call it the yes, but I think that it doesn't switch over to the South Sam Houston till 98.

00:14:03.145 --> 00:14:12.712
So this would be the West Sam Houston Parkway and you take the first exit after 59.

00:14:12.712 --> 00:14:16.004
Yeah, Going southbound which?

00:14:16.065 --> 00:14:17.509
is Belford On the west belt?

00:14:17.509 --> 00:14:21.087
Is that Belford Southbound and down and then we're right on the right-hand side.

00:14:21.341 --> 00:14:24.090
It's a big warehouse office, complex thing.

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:25.592
Yeah, there's a lot of them that look the same.

00:14:25.592 --> 00:14:28.017
So it's kind of down towards the end If you pass it.

00:14:28.057 --> 00:14:28.701
You get to airport.

00:14:28.701 --> 00:14:32.249
You're just going to have to go back around underneath the freeway and go back around.

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.787
You'll find us, we're here.

00:14:34.883 --> 00:14:35.975
Our truck's sitting out front.

00:14:35.975 --> 00:14:36.902
Watch for our truck.

00:14:38.067 --> 00:14:39.041
Don't steal it, please.

00:14:39.061 --> 00:14:40.663

We got all the stuff out.

00:14:45.289 --> 00:14:45.889
It's in here.

00:14:45.889 --> 00:14:48.033
We need to put stuff in it.

00:14:48.052 --> 00:14:48.714
Well, part of it.

00:14:48.714 --> 00:14:49.434
Anyway, we're the stuff.

00:14:49.434 --> 00:14:53.590
Yeah, good luck at getting it all out of here, because the parking lot back here in the back is full.

00:14:53.649 --> 00:14:54.312
I see that.

00:14:55.880 --> 00:14:57.427
Kind of a hidden cruise in today.

00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.280
Well, it's full of Porsche.

00:14:59.280 --> 00:15:01.962
And then the mud bug guy is around here on the side.

00:15:01.962 --> 00:15:04.946
Yep, the mud bug guy is around here on the side Yep, the mud bug guy.

00:15:04.946 --> 00:15:08.288
And then the coffee guy is around to the other side, that's the coffee girl.

00:15:08.288 --> 00:15:09.889
Oh, the girl, coffee girl.

00:15:10.350 --> 00:15:13.993
The coffee girl is running Travelin' Tom's Coffee Truck.

00:15:13.993 --> 00:15:16.975
Oh, she's very nice and very good at what she does.

00:15:16.975 --> 00:15:18.115
She'll be traveling, tammy.

00:15:19.116 --> 00:15:20.538
Nope, we're not using that Nope.

00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.065
We're not using that word.

00:15:31.065 --> 00:15:31.365
Oh okay, sorry.

00:15:31.365 --> 00:15:35.258
Now the Mud Bug guy the name of his business is Out the Mud, not Out of the Mud, but Out the Mud.

00:15:35.278 --> 00:15:35.960
Yeah, I got a short one.

00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:37.753
It could be kind of a Louisiana thing Out the Mud.

00:15:37.995 --> 00:15:38.740
Crawfishcom yeah.

00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:44.331
He has crawfish, crab legs, blue crab and shrimp and they ship nationwide.

00:15:44.331 --> 00:15:48.671
Wow, they cater Out the mud crawfish.

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:52.865
Yeah, we got some crawfish farms over near me, right there off Interstate 10.

00:15:53.160 --> 00:15:54.846
Well, I heard there's been a shortage this year.

00:15:54.846 --> 00:15:56.274
Is that true?

00:15:57.221 --> 00:15:58.509
We haven't had any problem getting them.

00:15:58.509 --> 00:16:07.280
So when you farm crawfish do they have like little saddles on them, Got to corral them into the pen and all that.

00:16:07.370 --> 00:16:08.735
Well, they kind of corral them into.

00:16:08.735 --> 00:16:12.356
They got the dikes with the water, so they actually use scuba gear to go in and get them.

00:16:12.356 --> 00:16:14.232
I got you Because they're under the water.

00:16:14.553 --> 00:16:17.181
Oh okay, Making sure Scuba gear.

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:22.532
Yeah, have you ever seen a scuba gear?

00:16:22.532 --> 00:16:22.873
I don't think so.

00:16:22.873 --> 00:16:27.082
You know, there are some things that we know nothing about and are proud to say we know nothing about.

00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:29.615
They do have traps for them, though they do put out traps for them.

00:16:29.634 --> 00:16:30.297
Is that what it is?

00:16:30.297 --> 00:16:31.870
Yeah, kind of like crab traps.

00:16:31.910 --> 00:16:34.854
They put them out, bait them, can't get it out.

00:16:34.994 --> 00:16:37.996
I thought it was like a big, big dipping net and they just kind of shoveled them in.

00:16:38.376 --> 00:16:42.179
No, that's what you do in the ditch whenever you run out, you go out to the ditch In the ditch.

00:16:42.461 --> 00:16:44.702
We used to just take a stick and poke at them.

00:16:45.644 --> 00:16:48.466
Oh, we'd get a piece of bacon and a string and lure them out of the hole.

00:16:48.466 --> 00:16:49.147
Why?

00:16:50.669 --> 00:16:51.270
Because they were in the water.

00:16:51.270 --> 00:16:52.773
What did you do with them after you got them out?

00:16:52.773 --> 00:16:53.533
Just marinate them?

00:16:54.294 --> 00:16:54.875
Exactly.

00:16:54.875 --> 00:17:00.484
Well, back then we would use them for fish bait, but that's before we figured out you could eat them.

00:17:01.365 --> 00:17:12.444
Yeah, you know, I don't recall in my day here in Houston, Texas, back in the day, crawfish being eaten by people that.

00:17:12.505 --> 00:17:15.077
I knew who was the first person that says I'm going to eat that.

00:17:16.111 --> 00:17:18.961
Like a little mini lobster, lobster bites.

00:17:19.089 --> 00:17:20.717
It is not a mini lobster.

00:17:20.717 --> 00:17:24.454
I don't know Anyway.

00:17:24.454 --> 00:17:31.721
But they're here as you can tell behind us here the car social is socializing.

00:17:32.351 --> 00:17:34.679
That wasn't the gentleman that's doing the crawfish.

00:17:34.679 --> 00:17:36.171
Is he there?

00:17:36.171 --> 00:17:36.352
He?

00:17:36.352 --> 00:17:39.221
Is right there, that's out the mud, out the mud.

00:17:40.590 --> 00:17:44.940
He was taking a video, you know we need you to come over here and talk to us a minute.

00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:55.230
Yeah, Because all of us car guys well, not all of us, not me, but there are a lot of car people that really like that crawfish.

00:17:55.230 --> 00:17:56.553
You got a crawfish stuck to your arm.

00:17:56.553 --> 00:17:59.882
Careful, what is your name?

00:18:00.589 --> 00:18:01.875
Greetings, greetings, tesson.

00:18:01.875 --> 00:18:02.738
Can you all hear me?

00:18:02.738 --> 00:18:05.135
Yeah, thank you all for having me.

00:18:05.135 --> 00:18:07.459
My name is Stanley Afford Stanley.

00:18:07.459 --> 00:18:17.838
Yeah, I'm the owner of Out the Mud Crawfish and Catering here in Houston, texas, and it's a pleasure to be amongst you all and all of these beautiful cars Now, wait a minute, you're here in Houston.

00:18:17.838 --> 00:18:19.101
Yeah, we're located here.

00:18:19.101 --> 00:18:20.222
We're originally from Louisiana.

00:18:20.242 --> 00:18:21.464
What is that phone number on the side?

00:18:22.630 --> 00:18:25.898
That's a Louisiana phone number, Right, because we're originally from Louisiana and we kept our original number.

00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:27.102
Very good, I like it.

00:18:27.630 --> 00:18:29.717
So you moved here because all the business is over here.

00:18:29.958 --> 00:18:30.460
You know what?

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:34.275
We moved here due to a storm several years ago.

00:18:34.275 --> 00:18:39.683
But you're right, it of business and the industry is growing here in Houston.

00:18:39.683 --> 00:18:40.744
Are you busy every day?

00:18:40.744 --> 00:18:43.817
Probably five days out of a week.

00:18:43.817 --> 00:18:46.057
We take a couple of days off just to race.

00:18:46.057 --> 00:18:47.321
But yeah, you're right, we got it.

00:18:47.342 --> 00:18:48.144
We always charge.

00:18:48.385 --> 00:18:49.308
Yeah, absolutely.

00:18:49.328 --> 00:18:54.135
Okay, so I know this doesn't have anything to do with cars, but I've got to ask you because I always wanted to know.

00:18:54.135 --> 00:19:00.319
So give me the process of cooking crawfish boiling.

00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:00.800
You boil them.

00:19:00.800 --> 00:19:03.515
I understand that it's cooking them, whatever.

00:19:03.730 --> 00:19:09.622
This is going to blow your mind because from the time that I've sat down here, the crawfish are probably done.

00:19:09.622 --> 00:19:15.682
But it's simple Get your water to a really, really rapid boil.

00:19:15.682 --> 00:19:19.435
Have your seasoning there, hold the crawfish in the boiling water.

00:19:19.435 --> 00:19:20.339
The live crawfish, live crawfish.

00:19:20.339 --> 00:19:21.484
We don't Pull the crawfish in the boiling water.

00:19:21.484 --> 00:19:22.490
The live crawfish, live crawfish.

00:19:22.490 --> 00:19:23.736
We don't want dead crawfish.

00:19:23.736 --> 00:19:26.619
They collect a lot of bacteria, so we weed all of those out.

00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:29.960
We're giving you real, authentic Louisiana live crawfish.

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.156
About three minutes, they're done.

00:19:33.156 --> 00:19:36.557
Three minutes, yeah, three minutes top, they're done.

00:19:36.809 --> 00:19:41.258
Here's the tricky part Although they are done, they are not ready to eat.

00:19:41.258 --> 00:19:42.981
You say what they're not ready to eat?

00:19:42.981 --> 00:19:44.816
Well, we're going to let them soak up flavor.

00:19:44.816 --> 00:19:47.356
Ah, we're going to let them soak up flavor.

00:19:47.356 --> 00:19:48.515
Do you take them out of the water?

00:19:48.515 --> 00:19:50.509
No, the flavor is in the water.

00:19:50.509 --> 00:19:52.698
So you just turn the boiling off.

00:19:52.698 --> 00:20:00.553
Turn the boiler off and you let that temp drop on the water and at Drop on the water and at that point your crawfish starts to soak up that beautiful flavor.

00:20:00.553 --> 00:20:01.913
You got to stir them and all that.

00:20:01.913 --> 00:20:05.015
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do a little agitate them a little bit.

00:20:05.154 --> 00:20:08.016
Now do you have your own seasoning.

00:20:08.876 --> 00:20:32.767
You know what we're working on that as we speak, because we have to get it perfect, but we pretty much create a great seasoned blend, but we don't have our own brand as of yet Well, for somebody that's stupid like me when it comes to that sort of stuff, what is a good seasoning that you can go to the HEB and buy?

00:20:33.386 --> 00:20:33.946
You know what?

00:20:33.946 --> 00:20:37.729
You can go and get any brand originally from Louisiana.

00:20:37.729 --> 00:20:46.894
The top that comes to my mind is going to be obviously your Louisiana, your Zatarain's, you have your Slap, your Mamba, you have all of those different.

00:20:48.011 --> 00:20:49.237
Because I know it's like mustard.

00:20:49.237 --> 00:20:50.675
There's a hundred of them on the shelf.

00:20:51.991 --> 00:20:55.650
It's a ton of new brands that are coming to market.

00:20:55.710 --> 00:20:56.996
And yours is going to be soon.

00:20:57.550 --> 00:21:08.220
We're going to be competing with all of them Now is this the season for crawfish boils, because my son-in-law, david Pitts, just did one last weekend with his friends and there was like 50 people there and they were all just getting after it.

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:12.077
They're all participating in the boil and they put the corn and the sausage.

00:21:12.077 --> 00:21:16.073
It goes all in the same Potatoes, potatoes that all goes in the same boil.

00:21:16.472 --> 00:21:19.017
Boil, absolutely, because that absorbs the seasoning.

00:21:19.017 --> 00:21:19.657
Absolutely.

00:21:19.657 --> 00:21:21.181
It all goes in the same bowl.

00:21:21.181 --> 00:21:31.601
When we typically go out and do a bowl, we separate ours, like we cook our corn, sausage and potatoes in a different pot, because you may have one of two people that just may be allergic to shellfish.

00:21:31.601 --> 00:21:37.739
However, when you're doing a backyard bowl, everybody at that backyard bowl knows what's going on.

00:21:38.510 --> 00:21:39.875
So, yeah, you put it all in the same pot.

00:21:39.875 --> 00:21:41.318
Now do you throw shrimp in there too?

00:21:41.338 --> 00:21:44.494
Yeah, yeah you get the old blue crab in it, why not?

00:21:45.457 --> 00:21:47.361
A rack of ribs, maybe not that.

00:21:48.789 --> 00:21:50.175
Where do you get your crawfish from?

00:21:50.570 --> 00:21:52.156
We actually get them from a wholesaler.

00:21:52.156 --> 00:21:54.336
Here we deal with a few wholesalers.

00:21:55.010 --> 00:21:55.976
Here in town in Houston.

00:21:55.976 --> 00:21:59.097
Yeah, bring them fresh from Houston so you don't have to go get them out of Louisiana.

00:21:59.278 --> 00:22:02.732
Somebody else is doing that, absolutely so there was a.

00:22:03.174 --> 00:22:04.010
Are we in a season?

00:22:04.010 --> 00:22:09.874
I heard rumors because I'm not, I don't eat them that there was a shortage or they're not as big or there's something going on.

00:22:09.874 --> 00:22:10.701
They all went on strike.

00:22:10.701 --> 00:22:12.292
Whatever, there's something going on with it.

00:22:12.292 --> 00:22:13.617
Crawfish went on strike.

00:22:33.064 --> 00:22:39.750
Yeah, they went on a in the last previous years and supply and demand came into effect, so the price tripled right.

00:22:39.750 --> 00:22:41.313
And supply and demand came into effect, so the price tripled right.

00:22:41.313 --> 00:22:49.682
Let's say, if I was supposed to be paying $3 around January or February, well, I had to pay $9 a pound my cost.

00:22:49.682 --> 00:22:53.185
So it was horrible, it was really horrible.

00:22:53.185 --> 00:23:00.602
The farms were just not producing crawfish and I think it related back to the drought in 2023.

00:23:00.602 --> 00:23:03.232
I think that had a lot to do with it.

00:23:03.232 --> 00:23:06.526
So, um, the weather conditions definitely played a part.

00:23:06.546 --> 00:23:09.035
How old is a crawfish when you put them in the boiling water?

00:23:09.355 --> 00:23:15.012
you know what I have never asked one but um never checked his id you know what?

00:23:15.073 --> 00:23:20.153
I'll get back to you on that, because we do have some experts that they know all of that good stuff.

00:23:20.213 --> 00:23:26.413
Well, mike just mentioned and you were taking a picture about the farming end of it that they've got farm crawfish farms.

00:23:26.413 --> 00:23:29.259
There's got to be an age or time limit.

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:36.115
That, okay, we got a crawfish and it's grown up to so long and then you take it yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:36.154 --> 00:23:39.298
so obviously crawfish comes in different sizes, right?

00:23:39.298 --> 00:23:53.821
And the farmers, I'm assuming that they start to actually, I guess, fish their ponds when they do their test traps and they look at them and say, OK, we're about, we're about, you know, good timing.

00:23:53.821 --> 00:23:59.009
This is a good size because if they're too small, there's nothing that you can do with that crawfish.

00:23:59.009 --> 00:24:13.883
In fact, during the season right, let's say around January and February what happens is that small crawfish actually goes to a molten stage where it actually sheds that shell to get larger and to get bigger.

00:24:13.883 --> 00:24:17.329
So that's kind of how the season goes.

00:24:17.329 --> 00:24:24.104
They do start out small at the beginning of the season, but to grow they actually have to take off a layer of shell.

00:24:24.392 --> 00:24:25.970
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

00:24:25.970 --> 00:24:35.318
So you've got crawfish and then you've got shrimp I guess they're the same family category, bigger, smaller and then you've got prawns Prawns are, I see, prawns on a stick, I guess.

00:24:36.310 --> 00:24:36.810
You know what?

00:24:36.810 --> 00:24:42.076
I don't know if they're native to this area at all.

00:24:42.076 --> 00:24:45.219
I think we will have to travel a little bit further out in the ocean.

00:24:45.219 --> 00:24:47.260
Now, I'm not an expert in that area.

00:24:47.401 --> 00:24:48.201
You sound like you.

00:24:48.241 --> 00:24:51.284
I'm just giving you my opinion Convincing me, Got us convinced yeah.

00:24:51.544 --> 00:24:54.527
Okay, now here's a dumb question How'd you get doing this?

00:24:58.529 --> 00:24:58.833
You know what?

00:24:58.833 --> 00:24:59.195
Real simple.

00:24:59.195 --> 00:24:59.659
I love cooking, right?

00:24:59.659 --> 00:25:00.305
I just enjoy the kitchen.

00:25:00.305 --> 00:25:00.930
It's therapeutic to me.

00:25:00.930 --> 00:25:02.231
But fast forward.

00:25:02.231 --> 00:25:13.060
First time that my wife bought me a pot to do turkey for Thanksgiving, I thought it was a great idea to do crawfish and I did For.

00:25:13.060 --> 00:25:13.643
Thanksgiving.

00:25:13.643 --> 00:25:18.842
Well, it was a little bit after Thanksgiving when I tell you they was the most horrible crawfish I've ever tasted, you're honest about that.

00:25:18.862 --> 00:25:19.945
Yeah, they were horrible crawfish I've ever tasted.

00:25:19.945 --> 00:25:20.750
You're honest about that.

00:25:21.310 --> 00:25:23.759
Yeah, they were horrible, but I'm from Louisiana.

00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:25.897
We've been eating crawfish our whole lives.

00:25:26.130 --> 00:25:26.292
Where in.

00:25:26.314 --> 00:25:27.128
Louisiana are you from?

00:25:27.128 --> 00:25:31.147
I'm from Cushatta, louisiana, where the reservation is.

00:25:31.147 --> 00:25:36.211
That town that you're speaking of is actually called Kinder.

00:25:36.211 --> 00:25:39.150
There is an Indian reservation called Cachata.

00:25:39.150 --> 00:25:48.826
However, my town and city is called Cachata and it's located in between Shreveport, louisiana, and Natchitoches, louisiana, a little small country town.

00:25:48.826 --> 00:25:54.970
I joke all the time when people ask where I'm from, I tell them yeah, it's a town with, you know, with all of the skyscrapers.

00:25:54.970 --> 00:25:57.768
But it's not man.

00:25:57.768 --> 00:26:00.807
We have two red lights and one grocery store there.

00:26:01.048 --> 00:26:02.592
Very good, nothing wrong with that.

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:06.211
But to answer your question, how I got into it, I did my first batch of crawfish.

00:26:06.211 --> 00:26:12.429
We had a very terrible storm back in Monroe, louisiana, where me and my wife went to school at.

00:26:12.429 --> 00:26:17.275
You know, we was out of our home, let's say, 13 days At that point.

00:26:17.275 --> 00:26:23.097
I wanted to come work in the construction industry just to get some money so we can get back on our feet.

00:26:23.097 --> 00:26:25.240
Houston is obviously diverse.

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.811
When we got here, I wanted to bring real, authentic Louisiana food to Houston.

00:26:29.811 --> 00:26:31.326
I started with crawfish.

00:26:31.326 --> 00:26:37.005
We got the recipe to where we thought that it should be and we started doing backyard bars.

00:26:37.005 --> 00:26:41.092
Around 2018, 2020 happened COVID hit.

00:26:41.092 --> 00:26:47.770
We created what's called the ball in the box, where we boil your crawfish and we deliver it to your doorstep.

00:26:47.770 --> 00:26:51.181
Um, it was amazing because everybody was locked in their homes.

00:26:51.201 --> 00:26:53.482
We said hey, we'll bring crawfish to you, because everybody was locked in their homes.

00:26:53.482 --> 00:26:56.805
We said, hey, we'll bring crawfish to you, and we gained a lot of popularity for that.

00:26:56.805 --> 00:27:02.928
Now we kind of do a lot of companies here and there, sure and now we're here with you guys.

00:27:02.968 --> 00:27:08.651
Yeah, so you said you wanted to bring authentic crawfish, louisiana crawfish, to Houston.

00:27:08.651 --> 00:27:09.192
Absolutely.

00:27:09.192 --> 00:27:13.453
How many other people claim that they're the authentic here in Houston?

00:27:13.453 --> 00:27:15.115
Obviously you've got to have a saturated market.

00:27:15.115 --> 00:27:19.376
I mean, you've got to weed someone, go through the minutia of getting in there.

00:27:19.617 --> 00:27:20.337
Yeah, you know what.

00:27:20.337 --> 00:27:29.715
I actually take my hats off to a lot of people that are doing crawfish here because I think there are some good crawfish vendors here.

00:27:29.715 --> 00:27:37.945
However, I say this humbly, but I say it genuinely and seriously with the best crawfish company in the state of Texas Out the mud.

00:27:38.086 --> 00:27:39.329
Out the mud, out the mud.

00:27:39.329 --> 00:27:40.413
Crawfish Absolutely.

00:27:40.413 --> 00:27:41.362
Where'd that name come from?

00:27:41.362 --> 00:27:56.114
If you take a look at out the mud, when we use that term we kind of use it socially and culturally when we're saying this person used less resources to get to where they are.

00:27:56.114 --> 00:28:00.209
They simply did more with less.

00:28:00.209 --> 00:28:02.587
Well, that's the story of my life.

00:28:02.587 --> 00:28:04.807
You know I come from a small country town.

00:28:04.807 --> 00:28:08.411
You know my mom had a certain economical background.

00:28:08.411 --> 00:28:16.373
You know my father passed when I was three but we weathered the storm through life and out the mud.

00:28:16.373 --> 00:28:18.788
We feel like we got it out the mud.

00:28:18.788 --> 00:28:21.683
Now, what's unique about that?

00:28:21.683 --> 00:28:23.288
Do you know where crawfish come from?

00:28:23.288 --> 00:28:25.112
What Out the mud?

00:28:25.271 --> 00:28:25.653
We know.

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:33.296
So when you put that together, I think it's the perfect summary of our company, our lifestyle and we love that brand.

00:28:33.641 --> 00:28:36.589
You know, we've never had a mud bug expert on this show.

00:28:36.630 --> 00:28:40.691
I know you were the first and we'll always have you yeah.

00:28:41.101 --> 00:28:53.104

Yeah, you got the mud bug vehicle out there.

00:28:57.682 --> 00:28:59.487
I like to think that it's pretty cool myself.

00:28:59.487 --> 00:29:01.652
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.

00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:06.744
All these people that are coming to visit you are the experts on the Porsche, because they're all the Porsche people.

00:29:06.744 --> 00:29:07.346
