Well, are we ready? Yeah, let's go. Well, hey, welcome back to the podcast, ladies and gentlemen. Happy New Year. Okay, today's topic is going to be, what is your motivation? What? Or what standard are you trying, what standard do you use and then that you try to achieve? I wish you would have, like, texted me this.

Well, no, no, because here's the deal. Britain's got low standard. I'm not going to get off of life, liberty, and pursue the happiness. Okay. Okay. Okay. So look, what motivates you? And, hey, I'll give you a little biblical.

James tells you what motivates the human race. Your desires of flesh, the human flesh, leads you astray. Okay. That's what the Bible says. That was in Yamaise? Yeah. Or is there's redneck color? at the book of Jimmy.

Oh, Jimmy. Oh, Danny. But anyway, I want to know what motivates you to get up every morning, okay, and what motivates you to actually go to work, get dressed, and go to work in this wicked world we live in. What? I want to know your answer first. What causes you to get up and go to work? Well, no, no, because, hey, it's all about perspective.

That's right. Whether they're deep or shallow. Because look, this life, okay, living on this wicked planet, it sucks. Oh, it is. Okay. I hadn't seen you like a week and a half and you're still on this one. But you can't fight it with the right perspective. He got that sundowners thing.

Yeah. With the right perspective. It gets dark too early right now. So I just up all night watching. Because he's starting to get daylight later. Here's your choices. You can go positive or you can go negative. Most people, okay, because of it sucks.

It sucks. So they are hung up in the negative. Negative sales, controversy sales. Positive. Well, I know, but, you know, I'm just saying you've got two choices, negative or positive. I would argue it. People have always said, okay. I'm saying, why are you always positive?

Well, I'm not going to the negative side. I'm not a bad. I watch Star Wars, too. I ain't going to the dark side. Me? Yeah. You think it's so. now, well, hey, wait, go to the dark side and then, then look back and say, I shouldn't have,

I shouldn't have chose that. Yeah, he got his arms and legs chopped off and melted on Mustafa when he did that. According to Carter, though, his face it. It's how you look at it, folks. That's positive. That very in-depth conversation about that last night where you're saying. I'm with you, though. I'm positive.

Well, no, no, because why would you go negative? Let's be positive. Your life already sucks. Okay. So, hey, don't go negative. Don't make it worse. Hey, change direction and let's go positive. Charge on.

My life doesn't suck. No. I don't need. Well, hey, you got a positive bad. Nor so we know Jesus. So that's the difference. Well, well, I'll say, okay, that's the positive thing. No.

You know what I always? I would say that life doesn't suck, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't have sucky, period. Oh, yeah. Well, no. Well, I'm just saying generally, there'll be a time in your life when you're going to have some, trials and tribulations that are not good. That's good because I was thinking of a much shorter way. But in the long run, okay, that's the wrong answer because they are good.

Because the trials and tribulations you go through is what makes you when you come out on the other side of them. Uh-huh. That's what makes you the person you are. That's in that book of Jimmy, too. That's in the book of Jimmy, too. And perseverance. Yeah.

Preservant. Preservant. But I will do this. You need to go to the book of Galatians. Uh-oh. Okay. I started this with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Well, you need to look in Galatians, and you'll find all three of them in there.

Life, liberty, and a pursuit of happens. And, hey, and I'll give you a hint. one of the first words that come in there is in Christ. That would be liberties. The liberties or freedom we have in Jesus. There you go. Yeah. But so you'll look into it, I'm not going to tell you the rest of it.

Well, God, when you got some new motivation making you get up and go catch a fish now, don't you? Two of them. Two of them. Tell us, Papal. Well. Okay, they have arrived. They're here too early. Oh, but they're still in the hospital.

Still in the NIC. Okay, well, that's a good thing. They get fully healthy before mom and dad take them home. Yeah. Okay, because, hey. They're awful anxious to go home. Well, I know. They're in the best place they could be right now.

Yeah. Tell them, give me a call. Yeah. Because, hey, there's no book. Oh, she's down there all the time. There's no book that's been written to really tell you what to expect. I know. Okay.

So you're right. you're going to be, this is one of them things, it's going to be fly by your pants. Yeah. Well, we had all this stuff planned out when they was going to take them on a 29. Yep. And so that's when we was ready. Yeah.

But. But. But. Tuesday. The kids are on God's time. That's right. Well, she went in the hospital. She, her blood, she called Paula.

She said, Mom, my blood pressure is 160 over 105. what do I do? She called and they told her come up here. Well, they're going to put her on a 24-hour watch for they was going to test her urine and all that for pre-clampsia. Pre-clamps, yeah. Yeah, I said that right. May I still left the E-out, but you know. It sounded good to me.

So everybody goes home. We're coming back tomorrow and get her and take her home. because they're just going to observe her. Well, she calls at 5.30 next morning and said, y'all need to get up here. Take fish and have, y'all fish and have grandkids. He said, okay.

How fast do you make it from Calhoun? I was like, I just froze. Well, Paula called. She called her mama. That's a good look. And her mama called me. And I'm like, thinking, what do I need to throw in the, go in.

Hey, you know, if you just get a clothes basket, it's way easier than a suitcase. You just throw stuff in there. You did not take a laundry basket. I did. Yeah, hey, that's what I told. I just throw it in there and then let's go. Yeah.

It's all in one point. When you said, what do I said, all I'm going to see, all I'm going to hear is crawling tires. Plus, I don't know where the suitcase is. He wasn't ready, Martin. We wasn't ready. Wasn't supposed to happen yet.

But he said, you know what's better in a suitcase? Laundra basket? Londry basket. Oh, just a box. Hey, that is my go-to now. I like it. When I go places, laundered bag. Lander basket, boys.

You just throw it all in it. It all fit. You ain't got to worry about to sitting on it and closing it. Oh, anyway. I got to admit. But, yeah, I've been traveling duck cutting a couple of times, and I used to keep all that stuff on my back seat. It's similar to a laundry basket.

I just started using a Yeti cooler as dry storage. All right. All of my big stuff in the back end. I just put everything in the cooler. Why not? And you don't have to pack. You don't have to hold it. It'll hold it all.

And it's like, you ain't got a salt. Yeah. Redneck life advice right here. Yeah, man. Use it here. All right. Quick. So they have.

What did they wait? They weigh. He ain't there yet. He ain't even to the hospital yet. Yeah, we just got to go in the lot of the store. We just got the laundry basket loaded. We're driving and I'm driving, you know, enough. I'm over the speed limit a little bit.

Well, hi. For you, that's normal. I mean, I wouldn't, don't think I got a ticket where I was at. And, uh, yeah. So then Johanna calls Paula again. They're fixing to do a tap or something, something, something. They're fixing to take me back there. And Paula said, no, they're not.

We're not there yet. She said, they're getting ready. I said, and Paula looked at me, and she said, that's what she done. She's done the point down the road. Yeah, the next thing that happened was the foot got heavier. She hit the flasher button and I mashed on it. Man, he stomped it.

And we got there in the tundra? No, we was in her car. Y'all hit the flasher in the left lane. She hit the flashers and we took off. That's right. Get out of the way. We got an emergency. We got there in 40 minutes.

From your house? Yeah. Wow. Folks at home, that should take an hour. Look. Look. Look. It was, but here's, it was going to take longer than that

because they got all that stinking construction going on, but they have opened it. And they ain't told nobody. No, they told me. Well, I mean, they just opened. They just opened. Because I just took her to the doctor. All right, look, springtime is here.

It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know, we love to eat beef around here. And that's what, because of our friends over at Trial's beef, makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good.

Our friend, Sal Robertson, would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritels beef,

we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need.

Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat eater, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash.

That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. But we got there and she was gone five minutes. They done took her back here. But there was coolly. It's a shumper. Yeah, Krista Shumper. Yeah. That place is awesome.

There you go. All the nurses have got compassion for you, the doctors. I mean, they act like they don't mind doing what they're doing. My sister used to run that. Well, they, all of them people love their job. Yeah. Because they're taking care of you. Look, NICU, you can have four people,

and you just go back there when you want to. No. There ain't no visiting time. That place is awesome. Anyway, so because she couldn't, she had to have magnesium. She was pale for a couple days. She didn't even get to hold them for a day and a half. But that was tough.

We was going and taking pictures of them and bringing them back to her. Yeah. You know, but, yeah, it was tough. I don't like to watch this Paula. And she's back there all the time. I mean, she's. Has Paula up there cleaning it full? Yeah, she's up there.

She's up there now. That's what I love. I know Paula got when she up there, she's cleaning up nursing out of and just help her. If you went in my house, it would look like we was having a baby. You're going to need a bigger clothes, basically. First place, yeah, I'm going to need, too. I love it. Oh, I was looking, we got this gal staying with us.

When Paula's friends, she's going to school and she's staying with us too, she graduates, which is not long. Anyway, she said, what's some wrapping paper at? And I opened the closet door in one of them bedrooms, and it's like, whites and this. And I don't know. It's baby stuff. Hey. There's a thing of bottles there. Spoiler alert.

Them wipes ain't just for babies. Hey. Yeah. They work on any. Grown men can use them. I know. But anyway. And or whatever.

So now there is, they're going to come home in a day or two. There we go. There it is. Praise the Lord. That's one real life sets in. There's no tubes. They just got the heart monitors on their foot. And no tubes, no end.

They're taking a bottle, which I didn't realize. They got to learn how to drink milk and breathe at the same time. I never even. Yeah, that's pretty much Carter's whole problem. They were saying, well, we got to, we got to try to, you know, they got to pass that test, and then they had to pass a test to keeping their cold temperature with an open, you know, without being in the cocoon or whatever.

And, well, I don't know what that thing's called. I took that live scope and transducer on that cocoon. I love Godwin's medical terminology. We went from live scope to cocoon. You know what I'm calling. I know what you do. I had that glass cake. That thing's like a spaceship.

Yeah. The top come up, the sides fall down. Anyway. Yeah. So I asked my question before I got a hell of them. How much did they wait when they was? One of them was right at five and nothing right at six. Okay.

Four, seven. Yeah. And five 11. That's a big crappie. Biggins. Yeah. Johanna said, oh, they was 17. And something inches long, Joanna said.

And they're both girls. How's that? I said, that's like a three-pound cropy. But anyway, yeah, both identical twins. But one of them's a little bit smaller than a now, so you can tell them apart. There you go. Cassandra and Isabella. Cassandra.

So now they got to pass a car seat test. The car seat test. And they just took their infant CPR classes before they can go home. So that's where we're at. We're here in a couple of days. They'll be at their own place. There you go. And then Johanna and Cecilia's going to have to let reality set in.

That happened at first night. He said, this will be, well, let me tell you, he goes up there. They got the feeding times. They're there at every feed in touch time. They're there at every feeding in touch time feeding them their cell. And Cecilio goes up there and reads them a story in a book. I love you like no otter. Johanna had a she had a stuffed on her when she was I mean that was her

stuffed old that's awesome that's awesome that's all that's where we're at with them they coming home that's good that's great news yeah fantastic what name did you settle on what name did I settle on yeah what they call in you oh well they caught Carly couldn't say Paula so she called her Paco So that's what all the kids called Spocko. And they called me duck. Colin called me duck when he was my nephew. And he ain't your nephew no more?

Yeah. I said it. Did I say? What did I say? You said when he was my nephew. Oh, I thought. Well, I meant, I'm thinking. When he was little.

Yeah, I know. It was just. Anyway. Yeah, when he was my nephew. Yeah. He's just my friend now. But anyway, that's them. So Paco and Duck.

Right there they are. Well, ladies, there was a pity of prayer. We're up to the Almighty for you. And Johanna made them hats. Oh, that's awesome. Night four last. That's smart to make them different hats. Yeah.

Who do they look like? They look like babies, man. No, always like to hear everybody. I think one of them when you look at her straight on, she does kind of look like Cecilia. One of them does. Okay. But.

Look at them little girls. The little one is the spunky one. Yep, that checks out. Easy. Sounds like Waylon. And the big one is, I just think she's pulling stuff over there. She's 10 days old.

No, she's smarter than it. No, she's eight days old. Yeah. She's smarter now. You do remember you just said they had to learn how to suck and breathe, right? Which for some kids, takes a minute. Well, that's done, I mean, that. I was good done in seven days.

Hey, I agree with Pop-ball. I mean, they did it. I agree with Papa. They're smarter than you think. Oh, they see. Okay. Okay. They get kind of laid back.

But they've been making them for a year. Diapers? Yeah, depends. Is that what? Well, she got to camouflage them and all that. and get another name for them. We'll probably license it. Hey.

Get some infant life best. I told Johanna. I got some infant ones you can have. Yeah. I said. Just ruined a safe. A big old millennium seat. They can't fall out of them, you know.

I can stick them up there, put one on each side of me. this all day. Their car seats working in boats. Yeah. They're about to do a car seat test. They ain't going to do a millennium seat test. Yeah. Yeah.

There are plenty of room. I will. There's plenty of room in your rig for a packing place. Oh, heck, yeah. I'll put that in the middle of the deck. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. That'll be amazing.

Yeah. Yeah, do all that stuff with them before they get mobile. Trust me. Because once they get mobile, there's certain restrictions involved then. There ain't going to be a bunch of rods on the deck. No. Just the ones that you. Well, yeah, and even then cut the hook off.

Yeah. Well, they'll have to learn somehow. Yeah. Yeah, I just ain't wanted to do the braid trick on my kids yet. Hold it right there. It wasn't right. One, two. We just cut the top of the mountain off.

No. Uh-uh. No. That still gives me the heby-jibis. Ooh. We just got rid of pass fires other nights. Oh, yeah? That's big time around our house.

Hmm. Even though they only used them for some. sleep, but they're good. We sent them to Santa. We left them for Santa. Well, good deal. And he would swap toys. All the problem is, Wayland said, he don't like toys no more.

He said, I don't want toys no more. Can I have my pat back? I'm like, no, buddy, this is the art of the deal here. You made the deal. You made the deal. You made the deal. So the deal sticks. You don't get the backtrack on it.

Yeah. That's awesome. We got a lot to be thankful. What did you get them for Christmas? He wasn't prepared. He didn't think we were going to make it to this, Chris. He thought he got to dodge us. When they didn't come yesterday, it told everything off.

Yeah. Everything. Nobody was ready for nothing that happened so quick. We couldn't think about what we needed to do next. It's living out of laundry back. That thing I know I'm staying at the Hampton by the hospital. I didn't realize they lost a bunch of weight after they're born. And then they're just now getting back to that.

weight. Getting back to their playing weight. Yeah. Well, you got to think they were soaked in fluid for eight and a half. Yeah. How does that? In your case. And so you take them out and dry them off and they lose a pound.

Yeah. I guess when you put them fish in alive, well, they lose weight. Yeah. Take them out and dry them off and all of a sudden. Yeah. Then they got to get back to birth weight. Yeah. All the stuff that you never even thought of like before.

That's crazy. Before that. Ooh. Well, what's your motivation now? Yeah, is that your motivation? We're back on the motivation. We got to bring it back full circle to where we started. I got to figure out how to rig them cars, so you took my boat.

That's my motivation. Oh, you got time on that. There'd be plenty of time for that. Yeah, I'll wait a day or two. I can have the boys take them on a Kawasaki ride. Yeah, there you go. There's a little hookups in the car seats in the back for them. Really?

Uh-huh. Yeah, for the little, you know, where you clip the things. Just not the full tether and all that stuff, but just where it'll. Just clip them in there, let them. Yeah, it'll be for a boat. Get them in a box stand somewhere. How many car seats y'all got? Four, I think.

Yeah. You need at least four with twins. I could opt for six right now. Six? Why would you need six car seats, Martin? Two for my mom, two for me, two for Brittany. Okay. That true.

Where we got? Because none of our vehicles. vehicles are the same. Well, we got new bases. Yeah, the bases are good. It's just when you outgrow the bases. I feel like I'm in a whole new world now. I just realized I haven't changed the diaper in years.

We ain't even got car seats no more. Yeah. It's like a whole new world. I changed. Are you still boosters? Blotty booster? Yeah, she got something back there. I changed 960.

960? 960 diapers? 959 Johanna's and I changed Gus when we was doing Jeff and Jessica's show You changed Gus's stuff Yeah so that made 960 You kept camp Well she kept saying you don't damn nothing

I said all right So I kept camp Is that accurate? Yes sir You know for a fact you changed 959 diapers of Johanna Which probably ain't as many as I should have But

Can't say you didn't do nothing. Well, say, here's what you do. When they cry, when it's at night and they cry, them mama's got supersonic ears. So you got to be quick. But when they cry, you just, your turn. And before she even does, she just jumps up and goes.

Before she even thinks about it. Your turn. That's one way to do it. Your turns. I always took to, I'm going to stay up to the first one, and then you can sleep from now until the second one. Yeah, I took the night shift.

Twan's probably going to be different. I didn't have no twins. Yeah, they're going to have to get a schedule because. How did y'all do that? Because you can't both of y'all get it. Well, she had to get up and feed. Who, Brittany? Yeah, and she would pump all day.

You didn't pump at night? And she would if, like, it got to hurting, but I would use the pump for the night stuff while she slept. That's wild. Hunter's freaking out. And then, I mean, she was only able to keep up with them for like a month. And then the appetites got so voracious. The Martin boy is big now.

And then you had a supplement formula. Yeah. Which if you have to end up that route, I highly suggest this little thing called a baby breezer. it's a curig for formula he just go in there and push a button and the bottle comes out hot and perfect and mixed there you go 10 out of 10 recommend especially for twins yeah i got a better system but they frown on it well while they're in the nickel sometimes you can get one of them tubes just put right into the guts oh yeah hey you just plug in the numbers carter you're going to eat all night you sleep all night

and then it would finish at 8 a.m and we'd wake up he'd wake up he'd wake up up? I will say. I did ask if they could put one on bins and they did not get the joke at all. They flew over. Frew over them. Yeah. But I will say for us, like when formula got involved and boys started sleeping all night. So apparently it keeps you a little more full than breast milk. They kind of run through breast milk, which I don't, you consider that good, bad, or indifferent. There's some heavy opinions on that situation. Yeah. And I'm sure there's plenty of them in the comments right now. But look, hey, we did what we did that to keep our babies fed. The doctor said a fed baby is the best baby.

So we kept them full. The thing I noticed about it is, it's formulas when they poop and all that. It stinks. I haven't. Breast milk, nope. Yeah.

The older is totally different. How many did you change? 959? Uh-uh. I couldn't change them. Yeah. So he goes, hey,

here's the thing. You know what's even worse than both of those? When they start eating real food. No. I couldn't change it. Because I do blueberry skins not. You would have to take them and shower them or bathe them because I would throw up.

Take out and hose them off. You would throw up? Yeah, I could gut a deer, but you can't change a diaper? No. Can you gut a deer? Huh? Used to. Used to.

But, hey, a lot of times I would hate. I hit a bad spot. I'd run over and throw up everything I had, then go back and clean the deer. I'm serious. I did almost puke in the crick. It's a little morning. Yeah, I'd make a bigger mess, so it's just easier for Christendezum.

You know, we had that little warm-up. I cleaned ducks, and I thought I got them all out of the back of my truck. Oh. And I found a couple that had gotten missed. Oh, no. In the dark in the morning. And when I uncorked that thing, I was, I mean, like, you know, because it was 80 degrees for a few days.

Yeah. They had gotten ripe. Yeah. I had that one time with a fish. No, he got locked. Not near live oil. Nope. Wasn't in my live oil.

I could not figure it out. Oh, you couldn't find one that was dead? I could smell him in my shop. It hadn't got bad yet, but, and it wasn't real, it was kind of faint. And I just kept walking around. I could not find it. And I was putting my boat in. And I said, you smell like fish?

This guy wanted my guide trip. He said, you mean that on your jack plate right there? Good grief. It was hung up on the motor? Yeah. How do he get there? I have no idea. No idea.

Oh, that is wild. He got hung up there and that was a first. I just know this. There was a lot of prayers went up for them. too late. I sure appreciate it too. Amen. Now there's going to be even more of them.

Every time I thought about her, I said them day or night. And my prayer was, hey, let her carry them things the full term and give birth to them. Well, that's more. I figured after a while, I said these things. Because I, you know, being not at work every day, I wouldn't say retired because I'm doing that guy and stuff. crop again, but I was able to go to the doctor with her a lot. And the way he talked, the high-risk doctor is the babies was good, better than, you know,

oh, they find, I figured they'd be good, but I was the kind of worried about her, you know. And she stayed pale for a couple of days. They had to give her iron and magnesium. Yeah. But she's fine now. a little bit of blood. Well, I have had doctors described to me that the way he described a woman giving birth was a deer, a buck deer growing his antlers and, you know, pushing that bone marrow

in leather socks, so to speak. Hmm. I never thought about that. That's why that doctor described it. He said, that's what a woman goes to giving birth. Just like a big buck. Was that a male doctor or woman? He was a male doctor.

Oh, no. I'm serious. I said, well, that would be pretty rough. Yeah. Because you've got to think about it. A buck drops them things every year. And then you think one when they, hey, that pick around at the base. And I say he's an 18 point.

Yeah. Well, hey. to fill that stupid thing up that would be rough. That's like making sausage, you know, you just keep grinding it. It's pushing it out.

You know, that would be tough. Yeah. Just like having a baby. That's what he described it to me as, I'm telling you. I don't know. I can't tell you.

I ain't ever... I wake up every morning and my motivation is, thank God I'm just a dude. Well, no. This is easy. Thank God most of my plumbing. as external.

Hey, this is for all of the women that have been blessed with having a child. Okay. You are loved and appreciated by the husband and your kids. We don't say it enough. That's for darn sure. Okay. But you are loved and appreciated for what you go through, okay, carrying on us. Okay.

And letting your body be just distorted. you know and then you have to try to get back some kind of decent look from that okay so yeah yo I'm a mama boy so I'm definitely you know and I used to tell her okay that yeah okay I know one thing it makes them tougher well I'm just telling she she said she was sore from the incision but it didn't she got up and got to walking so she could get down there and see him quick. He walked all the way down there. If it'd been left up to the man to continue the species,

would have been dead. It would have been extinct like the dodo bird a long time ago. Okay, because there ain't no way I'll do it. Just a bunch of dodo birds, Martin. Yeah, that's all of it. We'd be extinct. It is weird what happens when a woman has a kid. Oh, no.

They become. Hey, every time I think about her to see a pregnant lady, it amazes me that they especially like two yeah it is what you know how does the body make room for all that okay and not not screw anything up you know it's like that one well the holidays when i was watching armones makes merry kate john lus and all chains oh i walked up and said hey how is big mama doing and she said oh i'm i'm still making it There you go. Yeah, we got more twins coming next.

Oh, no. Oh, yeah. And like when you say, well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I can see doing it once. But after I went through that crap once, it ain't happening again. Yeah. Okay.

And look. I said the same thing. Here we are three years later. Next to have seven of five. Yeah. So, hey, no, my, my hat, I've always said, hey, you know, They say they're the weaker sex. That's a bald-faced lie.

Who's they? I didn't say that. Whoever they is, that's a ball-faced lie. I think it was Hunter. Had twins back-to-back. She was still, she hadn't winged a set of twins and had another set.

See, Martin, that could be you. That wasn't planned, she said. I'm thinking you planned. But she had eight kids. That's like my mother. My mother had seven.

I'm thinking, And what wasn't bland? She needed to come to my house and get some roller skates in a karaoke machine. Just watch what my kids are doing. You won't want eight. Yeah, you got to think about that. My mom had seven kids. That's a lot.

I don't even know seven people that I really like being around. That's because Netflix. Well, no, no, because a mom is like eternity. Her love is. It's always there. Yeah. Even when you don't deserve it. okay and it makes him a different human too because i remember when i when carter was born

alison was afraid of you know her own shadow pumping gas anything and then she was like all right carter's born and she went and lived in a hotel in new orleans no scratch that motel in new Orleans for three months and i was like who's this who's this psycho crazy tough lady i'm all the sudden married to and you become a mama bear who makes some fantastic lasagna yeah And some good bread, I think. That's pretty good. I knew what he was doing. Okay.

That bread last night. Mom, yeah. Nope. I didn't eat it. Anyway, I ate the lasagna. That was a mistake. And that cookie. The cookie was good.

Boy, I could eat a cookie right now. What about one out of a skillet with ice cream on top of it? Boy. Because that's what his wife made last night. Oh, yeah? I could eat 18 bacon pies. I know that. How do you know that?

because you've done it before, haven't you? No, but if it's a challenge, I will... I hate it, I will give it the old... I love bacon pies. Yeah. I do, too. That's like me. When I hadn't had fried pies for a while, I'll make myself sick on them.

Boy. That's what I did this week. And I've done that... If I ate one, I told me... And I've done that before. Why do people do that? You've got to... You get, like, just so fired up, and then we just...

That's like when Phil cooked hamburgers. Her yourself. Yeah. How many hamburgers did you eat? Oh, I'd eat five. And that's what... He ate one day. Oh, hey.

And that's what... We run out of hamburger meat. Yeah, and that's when I... I mean, that's what everything there is you put on. Or he to eat some... lettuce? Lettuce? Lettus.

You did the whole thing? Yeah. Eight times? Yeah. Oh, the most of ever ate was eight. You better be sitting at the stove. Yeah, I ain't eight. I ate one day.

because I didn't say, well, hold it. Phil said, Ty, get off the hamburger. I said, hey, that was pretty good. Let's see. And Phil said, wait a minute. How many of you had? I said, I've already ate six, but hey. Hamperters?

There's a couple of, yeah. And he said, yeah, I said, but hey, I said, does anybody want these two hamburgers? They said, no. I said, well, then I'm going to eat them. Phil said, you're a pig. And I said, well, I'm sorry, it's your fault. They're that good.

Now, they are the little thin, burgers. Eight of them is probably, I'm saying meat-wise is probably only equivalent to four patties, like regular regulation patties. But that's still eight buns. By the buns, yes. Now that's it. That's bunge and everything on them.

Yeah. You know what? I'm a big believer in, by the way, when it comes to hamburgers, I need to tell them. No. Oh. But the best hamburger bun is the cheapest one you can find. When they start getting all this weird bun is too. The bread, the meat ratio gets all thrown off because it's like...

Oh, yeah. When they make like embryos buns and stuff. Yeah, it's too much bread. Less bread. Less bread. Yeah. I like to take the inside of them and hollow them out. Better.

Take a spoon to them. You want the meat to bun ratio. You want just enough tensile strength to hold it together. To hold it together. That's all you want. Hold all the stuff in there. If you can put it in between like a giant salting cracker, I'd be in. Like something super thin and yeah.

That's what I'm saying. Cheap bread. Yeah. Wonderbrain. That's why I feel, never understanding when I made chili. Oh, boy. I liked it, you know, running.

Mm-hmm. Because, hey, I'd put, I'd put a pack of, a pack of crushed crackers in. Yeah. To eat it back? They're thicken it up. Oh, yeah.

That's what I like. I like mine thick. Yeah, I like it thin, so I can fill it full of crackers. And that don't stop you from putting the crackers in it, I'm going to take. Well, yeah. If I'm eating it just chili,

I want it thin. But if I'm doing like chili dogs, let's stick in that baby. For chili dogs, Or Frito pies, let's stick in that baby. Yeah. No, for three dough pies, you got to be thick. Do you think we're the only podcasts in the world?

But when I, when I, no, I ate a lot of crackers. What? Yeah. What did he say? Are we the only one that went from the NICU to Frito Pies probably? Yeah. Most likely. That's what makes us talented.

Yeah. You know, we find the good and everything. Well, I was like when you first run into, okay, a BLT, with peanut butter on one side. Yeah, that's right. I'd rather. You would say, what? Until you ate one and then you would say,

I don't think I would. Yeah, that was the same layer of, same thing you're thinking about is the same thing I thought about. I don't like tomatoes, though. Oh, yeah, well, I just had a bee with peanut butter. Well, just don't put the tomato. No, let it.

Something about the bacon and the peanut butter goes together. Oh, no, it goes together. Bacon goes with anything. Let's tell me, you grow. really, Martin said it. I just had to be. Get all the lettuce and tomato. They just put the bacon and peanut butter.

Yeah, I just had to beat. Yeah. Yeah. On all them, on all them, on all them, a little pro-am golf tournament as we played in. Yeah.

All right. They had like a little cook shack for the caddies, and you could go in there and kind of order whatever, you know, we're friends with Teddy. The Teddy's like, ah, just come with me,

we'll grab something to eat. You go in there and I'd be like, yeah, bacon and peanut butter sandwich. And the guy was like, been heavy. Heavy on the bacon? I'm in. Yeah, heavy on the bacon and being on the...

That's the guy. The cook is like, I like you. This is going to worry. He's like, I don't get to make this, so I'm absolutely in. How do people put vegetables on salmon? You wouldn't think that would be good. Peanut butter and bacon? But, hey, that sounds great.

Oh, no, it's two very good things. Yeah, it's delicious. Say, you know what I ate yesterday? No, day four yesterday. What? Some Sandhill crane. Was it good? Was it good.

How compared it like a... a real good finale minion. No, it didn't have a bone in it. It's not filet. It's like a sirloin. But you would never know. If I didn't tell somebody that it was a

bird, you would never know that it was a bird. Never know. You would think it was a piece of beef. 100,000. Oh, did they have a pretty good size breast? Oh, bud.

Yeah. Yeah, giant. It's like a goose? Mm-hmm. Bigger than that. I mean, bigger than a spectrum. Long.

Oh, okay. It's a hunk of meat now. It is, it's probably like a big old bird. Yeah. It's probably like a 10-ounce sirloin steak. I mean, yeah, I just cooked it to 120, pulled it off there, let it rest. Oh, you just cut the whole thing and it grilled it. Mm-hmm.

No, I didn't even grill it. I griddled it. You're griddled. Yeah. I put it on a griddle with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic, and let it get to 120 and got it good. It's not poultry. It ain't going to hurt you.

Yeah. It was good. And it was fine. I've heard they are delicious tea. They're good. I got a few more of them, not many. I've been reading a book on gravity. Yeah.

Can't put it down. A what? Stop, Johnny D. Johnny D. Johnny D over here just quiver and trying not to laugh because he hurts. Grampus. I hurt myself. Is that the name of the book, or is it just that good?

Yeah, it's just that good. I was going to tell you one about chemistry, but I knew I wouldn't get no reaction. The gravity was... Oh. You've had a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms. Oh, man. Lots of waiting.

Don't have something to read, boys. I think that's what got me was here. You know what? You know what you need to do? You would become a millionaire. I'm interested. Okay. Don't tell the people.

Don't tell it. Do it. Do it. Comfortable. beds for visitors at the hospital. No, they don't want you there. Yeah, that's the issue. Well, you got to be there.

Yeah, but that's the issue. They know. No, they're trying to break the train of thought of you have to be there and wanting you to choose. It's why there's not enough chairs in airports. They don't want you sitting down. They want you to walk around. As much as they charge, you think they want you out of there?

Oh, they want you out of there. Absolutely. The more you stay, the more money they get. It's really a great, like, not you. Yeah, it's really a great, like, exercise in, selflessness. Like how uncomfortable are you willing to be for the one that you love? If it's hospital bed sore, that's love.

That chair sucks. That folds out into a bed. Both of them. Yeah. They all suck. And that thing they call a couch? Yep. I ain't okay.

It thinks it wants to be a pull-out bed, but. That thing ain't even know Futon. It don't even know what it wants. oh man it's just there for looking at yeah i remember sleeping on that thing for however long good grief oh that was a toughie it's like it's because it's that whatever materials on that thing too like that vinyl like whatever that crap is whatever it is you can't get comfortable on one of them yeah no i don't care what you do yeah usually i can find a comfortable spot on something I can't find a way to get my thing.

That thing ain't even Cy Robinson approved. If you're sitting that thing with short-legged bridges and get up, it ain't worse that, boy. It just ripped a hat off. It's like pulling a band-aid off. Yeah, because you're trying to get up out of it. You stick to it. Yeah, you absolutely.

Yeah. Oh, boy. Oh, man. I never want to go back to that. M. The hospital never got along. Me neither. Well, anybody got any interesting resolutions to talk about?

I mean, duck under's New Year's resolution is generally February 1st. February. You get through January because... I got to lose some weight again. Yeah, me too. I've really let myself go these past couple of weeks in this holiday.

I need to check my watch if I've gained it. I'm just saying I even kill. I gained some during Thanksgiving. You know, from where I was. So I'm not too bad to corn down no more. I'm not a badger corn down. anymore. I'm right at one,

but I wouldn't lose some. I may try to lose some. I'm going to, because I hurt myself. Well, it was stressful two months, and then it was holidays, so I was like,

you know what I'm going to do? Eat all the feelings I can. In the form of Crescent rolls, pie, cake, anything that... Well, ever once in a while, but I needs to be good to himself. And I was. I'm only just let it go,

and then I'll worry about it later. All, what are you going to give us for the motivation there, J.D? What's our motivating motivation? I really don't know. But I think it is weird on this podcast how Sye's got a Nick U story. I've got a Nick U story. Martin's got a Nick U story.

And now Godwin has joined us in the Nick U stories. And I talked to a lot of people in the store that come in from out of town, talked to a dude the other day, told me his whole Nick U story. And it's a wild ride and place. And for parents that have never been there, you're blessed. For parents that have been there, you know it's a weird spot. and you don't know what to do. But in 2 Corinthians 4, starting in verse 8, I'm just going to read a little bit,

we are hard pressed on every side but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. So you know what? we're going with motivation today. And so I just think, you know, if you're in a spot, a season of something like the NICU, something, maybe it's a grandparent, maybe it's a parent that's in a medical situation.

And you're sitting in a waiting room listening to us because that's what we've all done. You listen to something to take your mind off of something. Remember that. You might be pressed on every side, but you're not going to be crushed because Jesus Christ wins in the end. No matter what happens. Amen. That's a good one.
