00:00:00.000 This is some Ossetru lore, some real deal lore.
00:00:03.040 In the early 2000s, yes, the AFA existed.
00:00:07.000 A lot of us on the eastern side of the country did not know that.
00:00:09.660 That was when Yahoo groups were all the rage.
00:00:11.680 And there was a Yahoo group called Our Meat Hall.
00:00:14.300 And that was a bunch of people from all over the country.
00:00:16.660 People were coming from different philosophical viewpoints about Ossetru and whatnot.
00:00:20.420 And it basically turned into a, hey, I bet you won't say that to my face.
00:00:25.500 And I bet I will.
00:00:26.520 And that turned into a moot, which that's the story I was given on how it started.
00:00:30.980 So I don't know if they were going to meet and actually throw hands or what, but it turned
00:00:35.000 into a bunch of people getting together and realized that they had more in common than
00:00:38.200 they did apart.
00:00:39.140 And so this was in the Northern Ozarks, which is in Southern Missouri.
00:00:44.200 And it was a place called Wade's on the Edge because the campground was on top of a 300
00:00:48.420 foot bluff.
00:00:49.420 I showed up for the third one, I believe.
00:00:52.760 There were, you know, there were kindreds, but there were also families.
00:00:54.840 And so everybody took a meal because we're in the Ozarks in these cabins.
00:00:58.760 And so everybody took a meal as families to prepare for the folk.
00:01:03.000 And me and my family, we had the breakfast on Friday morning.
00:01:06.560 Well, I knew, we all knew because it was a big thing.
00:01:09.880 Everybody was all abuzz about it, that Steve McAllen and his wife, Sheila, were coming to the meat hall meet.
00:01:15.820 And so that was a big deal.
00:01:17.900 Everybody knew.
00:01:18.620 Now, I knew who Steve was, but I do not believe that I had seen a picture of the man at that point.
00:01:24.840 So that Friday morning, we get up and we're cooking breakfast and I'm in this kitchen in this cabin.
00:01:29.980 And I literally had, I think, a stove with three pots and two flat top griddles.
00:01:35.260 I would have short order and cooking my butt off.
00:01:37.200 You know, I was slinging hash, literally cooking sausages, cooking eggs.
00:01:41.360 And the door was behind me to my left.
00:01:44.000 And at some point after I'd gotten started trying to cook breakfast for about 60 folks, which if my good friend Mike Joyner is watching, hey, buddy, I know his pain.
00:01:51.840 he knows that that struggle where you're trying to get all this food out quickly and in through the
00:01:55.920 door walked this very slim older fellow had on a pair of black jeans and a black polo shirt and
00:02:01.360 didn't introduce himself that i remember but he says you know out loud to anybody who would listen
00:02:06.400 hey is there anything i can do to help and one of my family members says yes you can help body
00:02:10.400 over there he really needs help cooking all the various breakfast meats and eggs and whatnot and
00:02:15.200 so this guy comes over and says hey are you body i said yes i am he's like well i'm here to help
00:02:20.000 I said, cool, why don't you get on them sausages, and just kind of pointed him that ray, like, hey, man, there's the spatula, there's the flat top, there's the sausages, get to work, homie.
00:02:27.600 So for about the next 10 or 15 minutes, me and this guy exchanged very few words, just kind of, you know, hey, do this, hey, do that, yep, put those in there, yep, we're serving them this way, yep, do this, there's the rest of it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:02:39.560 And then it's all done, breakfast is prepared for the folk, and this guy kind of wipes his hands, and it's like, I don't believe we probably met, I'm Steve McNallan, and yeah, you could have knocked me over the feather.
