In the first clip, Ohanian excitedly explained the occasion behind the feast, saying:

"Alright, it's a Sunday and that means smoking meat. I got my dad and stepmom in town, so you know I had to do it right on this fine Sunday. Party ribs, they're back."

In a follow-up video, he gave fans a closer look at his grilling technique, explaining how the pre-cut ribs allowed for a quicker cooking process, stating:

"Alright, because these guys (party ribs) are all pre-cut, that means they're going to cook a lot faster. And we like that because that means we get to eat sooner. And, oh yeah, so we're smoking these meats all afternoon. Have them for dinner. It'll be nice. Slow and slow. Get it right."

He also made a playful reference to his flexible dietary habits, adding:

Fresh eggs from the farm (daily) and on weekends I'll mess around with some small-farm meat and I got into the brisket game the last few weekends and really loving the process and the surprise of unwrapping it to discover how you did," Serena Williams' husband wrote in an Instagram post.
