Malcolm Reed

@ the HowToBBQRight Channel/Podcast

The past few weeks I’ve been procrastinating by watching this absolute legend’s videos. First off, just based on looks, he’s a guy you want cooking your food. He’s probably sitting at a solid 5’10’’ - 370lbs, the perfect proportions for any pitmaster. Secondly, he’s got that soothing southern twang that pairs with sweet tea and wrap around porches. I listened to over an hour of him and his friends talking about crawfish on their podcast. It was captivating. Thirdly, (and most importantly) the man is passionate. You gotta respect his love for BBQ and the willingness (and desire) to share his depth of knowledge. For a dude who looks like he does not share when it comes to food, you can tell he’s producing these videos to spread the joy of BBQ across the nation. All from the kindness of his heart. God bless you Malcolm Reed.

A legend from LSU that was not a part of the national championship team

Just gonna geaux ahead and acknowledge the greats Ed Orgeron, Joe Burreau, Justin Jefferson, etc. that were part of that historic season. As well as all the great number 7’s throughout the years challenging Jack Daniel’s claim on the number …. BUT the man I’m referring to played a sport with a more spherical ball.

Speaking of balls, let me introduce Todd Peterson (Pitcher) for the unranked tigahs. In an SEC tournament elimination game against the 24 ranked Razorbacks, he’s up to bat with two outs (and an 0-2 count) in extra innings. With men on 1st and 3rd, he hits a double off the wall scoring two and securing the dub. Dope, but the catch (or lack there of)?

In this postgame interview, in response to a question about the last time he had an at bat, he tells his coach in the post-game presser, “yeah in high school I guess...coach I gotta be honest with you I never hit in high school. My coaches didn’t let me. Yanno I did hit BP a couple times and I did hit nukes.”

Todd’s insubordinate achievement should be a lesson to all of us. If you’re like me and unqualified for the job you’re at, lie to your boss and go yard.
