  • Skeeter Ray is known as the Godfather of the bayou. In our previous video, we cooked a massive pot of Louisiana Crawfish Cajun Style. Between the actions and antics... I sat Skeeter down for a quick interview before our Southern Food Feast, to see if he could give any advice about life, love, and how to be happy in this crazy crazy world. More hilarity ensued.

    The wisdom that these men are dropping is beautiful, there's alot of stuff here that I needed to hear and being from a Cajun family myself it almost makes me shed a tear. I don't know how to explain it because I myself have never had the pleasure of visiting Louisiana, I live in Texas but most of my family is from Louisiana and yet I get a strong sense of home watching this video. Maybe these guys just remind me of some family members but it's heartwarming all the same. Thank you so much for this video Mike!

We were one of the very first ones to ever move to the small town we live in and I took care of the family who opened up the very first hardware store and the elderly man turned 100 years old and I did his birthday and then his wife turned 99 and I did her birthday and they were also friends with my family and the elderly man was deaf so I had to write everything on a whiteboard to talk to him and I took care of them for about 2 years until they passed away but I've taken care of elderly my entire life and like they say do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life it was amazing and I loved every second of it and he would tell me stories also about my grandpa going down the old dirt road and his Studebaker and and things like that and it was really neat and until this day their family still produce fields of peanuts and also cotton and it was really neat when I took care of their family to watch them cultivate the peanuts and collect the peanuts it was so neat to sit down with someone that old that has that much knowledge and has been through the depression and all that it was so amazing and also them being friends with the family and telling me things about my family that I never knew was all so amazing I miss them so much💞🥺💞
