    That was a really awkward video to watch.  I gather he is on facebook live so he is reading questions and responding to them...but most of the time he doesn't read the question out loud so it is like you are hearing one side of a conversation. 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Yeah. And I can't really picture him field dressing a deer, either.

    I can't really picture him being able to drop the hammer on one.
    I would bet one billion dollars, he has a KAB in his egg.   =)

    I think that's cool he has an egg, I don't think he's creepy and I really like it that he was excited about BBQ! The dudes a billionaire and one of the great minds of our time, and he picked a BGE! I like it - bet he's on the forum :-)

    Oh, I'm sure he does. He's not the type to "glove up" to clean an egg.  =)

    I would doubt he's a serious hunter unless shopping in meat aisle counts.

    Obviously rich smart people cannot hunt.  Or be trusted.  Everyone knows this that is not rich or smart.

    He can do whatever they want for fun, and he chooses to smoke meat.  I have more in common with him than most people I meet in a day.

    Looks like he's got an iGrill2 on the offset. Can't tell if he's got some kind of a stoker on the Egg. Does look like his ash door opens on the right side instead of left side. 
    What's wrong with the guy hunting and grilling? I don't like his politics but I can normally find common ground with anyone.

    I said the same thing @DoubleEgger!  Maybe that's the kitchen house back yard.  and I doubt he even goes to the grocery......

    SBRs?  Pork ribs?  Brisket?
    WTF???

    Throw some elk or venison on that egg, then talk about walkin' the land bro.  

    He'd probably pay someone to pull the trigger, like he probably paid those people to take the meat off his egg.  

    What a Fockstik.

    Uh, welcome aboard, you're already on it.  Post pics of cars, hobbies, food, vacations, rant when angry, complain, criticize, brag, share, help, etc.  talk about politics, sports, current events, regional events, plans, hopes, work, yadda yadda.  This is just a narrower slice of humanity than you get on FB and the tools are not as insidious.

    I'm much better off here, where I actually learn stuff, and help whenever and wherever I can.  Pretty much the only reasons I hang out.

    Some prioritize with the social aspect, trying so hard to be something, they're clearly not in real life.

    The ash door being on the other side may be because he is using a phone or tablet to do the video and could it be a mirror effect?  Not sure why it would be different from what our eggs are like.

    I think this is the whole video. http://www.outdoorhub.com/news/2016/10/10/mark-zuckerberg-love-hunting-outdoors-bbq/

    there's probably a social media firestorm of activity that will result in the purchase of big green eggs because the social media messiah has one!
