Starting point is 00:03:11 favorite show and that show is good for anybody that ain't watched it. I'm sure some of our fans probably would disagree with that assessment. Little language and by little. There is a, there's a lot of language. I would say a lot. Yeah, but yeah, let the kids go to bed. It's an adult only. Watch it with an open mind. Really good show. Watch it with an open mind. I'm just saying. You are in trouble when somebody goes and watches that one. That's fine, man. It's a good show. Yeah. I mean, I kind of wish we would walk in here and we'd have an any and then we'd leave and We'd never know about it. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:03:42 But we'd have a lot more to talk about some days. I can be honest. No, yeah, when that guy showed up in that show, I texted you, didn't I? It's like, I can only see. I didn't even recognize them. Yeah. I have no idea what show y'all are even talking about. You need to get Apple TV checking out, Robert.
Starting point is 00:03:58 What actor are you talking about? Irving. The guy from Brother Arthur, John Turturro. Oh, I thought you guys were talking about George Clooney. No, George Clooney's not in that show. No, Hunter. He's not in that show. Hey, by the way, hey, everybody.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Hunter asked if we could be quiet today because his ears hurt. He has a double ear infection because the boy is never well. What are you a toddler? Who gets double ear infections at the age of 24? Hey, I had tubes put in my ear at the age of 34. Well, you also had a hole in your head. Yeah, you didn't know your birthday and been to prison. So you're fine.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Well, yeah, you make valid points. Hunter grew up on a farm. Yeah. Well, we're not allowed to be loud today. wait a minute it wasn't the farm in Calhoun where are you from again? I'm from like
Starting point is 00:04:45 Phil's area yeah he's down from Phil's oh okay his grandpa is a farmer he's from a little place called Luna no like I think these headphones because I wear them all day
Starting point is 00:04:54 to edit I think they just trap everything in my ears and then when the weather changes it just throws everything on do you not shower what put some soap on your ears man how frequently do you use
Starting point is 00:05:08 Q-tips every time I shower. There's the problem. Wait, what? There's the problem. You can't do that. You never heard the rule. Don't show nothing in your ear
Starting point is 00:05:18 smaller than your elbow. Also, I mean, it's don't show of nothing in your ear. I didn't know this was a rule. You never put stuff in your ears, bro. You're not supposed to key tip that much.
Starting point is 00:05:28 That's unhealthy, dude. That's unhealthy. Now quasi-embarrassed we wear the same shoes. They do wear the same shoes. You can get the doctor's kids from Walgreen. Now look, I don't know if a doctor would tell you this, but if you got... You never put a Q-tip in your ear.
Starting point is 00:05:47 But not even that. Just think about it logically. If you got some earwax in your ears, it's going to stop certain bacteria from getting in there. And you're just shoving it. You're packing it all in there. Where do you keep your Q-tips? Let me guess. In a drawer in your bathroom.
Starting point is 00:06:01 I mean, not in a drawer. Right next to where. Oh, they're on the counter. No. That would make it worse. You ever flushed the toilet with your toilet seat up? Pooh particles everywhere. All over your Q-tips.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Now they're in your ear. Now you have a double ear infection. Yep. Well, Friday was really weird. I had to call in. Shocker. No, like, apparently fluid built up behind my ear, threw off my equilibrium,
Starting point is 00:06:25 and I thought I was driving drunk on my way in. Oh, dude, I lived like 12 years like that. Except team was actually drunk. Well, I mean, there was times. I was. Hold on. Hold on. You had to call in
Starting point is 00:06:39 because your ears were messed up and it threw off your equilibrium? Yeah. Well, that's a typical Tuesday for me back in the day. I will say sometimes when I get fluid on my ears, I'll like shake my head just to see how it feels. It's kind of fun. Yeah, but you like a good time.
Starting point is 00:06:56 It gives you a little quick buzz whenever you get. You're kind of like me. You like a good time. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's kind of the same equilibrium effect of drinking or perhaps some other recreational. I'll have to ask Carter because he does. Recreational.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah. Carter's the only one of my family with ear struggles. Oh, no, I had them, my boys got tubes, all the things. I'm just, Hunter amazes me. He's such an interesting, sickly cat. Is he sickly alive? Yeah, you better get, when are you flying out? Thursday before Easter.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Where you go? What do you better? What I mean, is that the girlfriend thing? Yeah. Yeah. Buddy. Oh, you're taking a trip. Buddy.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Buddy. Your ears going to hurt. You better get that cleared up for you. Yeah. Normally I have to take gum with me So that way I can just chew it I keep my ears popping. Have you tried vitamins?
Starting point is 00:07:46 Have you tried vitamins? All day would be. We have many sponsors that Mike could help with your... What vitamins are? What is vitamins going to do? Just make you a healthier individual overall. Keep your immune system sharpened. I've never seen a vitamin I didn't want.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Also, what are vitamins? But you're a kid that grew up on Flintstone vitamins. No, I had probably something from Fox News and infomercials. I actually remember. Number one, my pat ball was making us all drink, and it was the thing back then. I'm sure if they were still around, I'd be reading the ad for them here in about two minutes. Well, that's what I was, yeah. Tang?
Starting point is 00:08:19 No, what was it? Anyways, but my point is, you need vitamins. I think that's what Hunter needs. Do you have a fairly balanced diet or you just kind of eat the same? That's chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. Oh, fairly balanced. What is the picture of eating like my teenager? I just, whenever I think of Hunter at home alone doing whatever he gets to do,
Starting point is 00:08:45 which I'm not knocking you, it sounds awesome, but I picture exactly what Carter would be doing. That's not what I do. How many times a week do you have cereal for dinner? Like maybe once a month? Dude, but that's still awesome. How many hot pockets do you eat? Not many. I've been trying to eat healthier within the last two years and I've been doing a pretty good job.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Hey, yeah, either you do or you don't. There's no such thing as try. Oh, wow. Okay. Hey, everybody's stones back in the build. Well, I think that was a Yoda quote. No, no, no, no. Something I used to do with my clients.
Starting point is 00:09:22 You went full Yoda on your drug rehab? It's kind of shaped like it. So look, these are people inside of a treatment facility, right? And I would just randomly throw them my car keys. I'd be like, here, take these. And then they're like, what? And then I'll be like, try to drop them. and then they like drop them
Starting point is 00:09:39 and you're like, no, no, no, you just dropped them, pick them up. And then I'd be like, try to drop them. And then they don't drop them. And you're like, no, see, you're just not dropping them. And I'll be like, try to drop them. They're like, what do you want me to do? I'm like, either you're going to drop them or you're not. There is no such thing as try.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Grandmaster, Yoda. Copyright Brian Rucker, 2016. That's almost, we're almost a 10-year anniversary. That's right. Golly. Unbelievable. I feel like I would have got up and walked out. No, not out of my group. As a recovery person, I'm surprised,
Starting point is 00:10:16 somebody didn't chunk them at you. I'll fix it. So this will have deal about, you know, you're not doing nothing. Yeah. Yeah, like you're sitting around here talking about what you're going to try to do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:27 I need you to put some action behind what you're talking about. Are you talking about? What was he trying to do? He said he was trying to eat healthy. Yeah. He came like, he don't make a decision. Look, I said I was trying, I am eating healthier.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Thank you. There you. That's what I thought. He's asking you to change your mindset. We're breaking mental prisons today, Hunter. All right. I made a smoothie for dinner the other day. Dude, no, that's not what?
Starting point is 00:10:54 You're too young. That is not. People, they have taught you that smoothies are healthier. That's not true. That's not true. That's a bald face life. A lot of sugar in them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Eat a banana and then drink a banana. See what I'm telling you? me. 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 Tritels Beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao 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
Starting point is 00:11:39 really know where that beef comes from, but with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales 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 Triedales beef.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, uh, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. You got to, you got to dial back to healthy eating. It's not really long. 70-30, man. Make good decisions. What is your, I'm curious now to know what is your definition of healthy eating? Well, we just found out it was a sugar bomb.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Well, less sugar and less carbs. Less sugar. So carb avoidance. That's what I do. Sugar's the devil. We all know that. Except yesterday I made ramen with an egg and seaweed. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Ramen, let me tell you. Yeah, I know ramen's not healthy, but it was also the only thing I ate that day. As somebody that lived off ramen, I can literally make a, anything you want out of ramen, okay? A hamburger? I could make a ramen burger. Mm-hmm. In prison, we would make pizzas with trash bags.
Starting point is 00:13:18 We could make burritos with chip bags. Man, I'll tell you, all I'm saying is they are not very healthy, okay? The most creative human beings in the world are inmates. Oh, dude. Oh, what else you got to do? Hey. Come up with some wild stuff. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Like, so, I'm not. So, huh, interesting. Have you given keto a look? I want to. I wanted to, but my friends told me not to do it. Dude, don't listen to your friends. Never listen to your friends. They'll steer you down the path.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I was just curious. You know what I want to do as a group? What? We don't have a Brazilian steakhouse, and it has been a while since I've had the meat sweats. Have you ever been to a Brazilian steakhouse? Oh, Faguerre de Shal? Sa would hate it.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I love Fargo-Dess out. Well, no, no, it ain't bad. Yeah, but what I'm saying is they ain't going to serve you a piece of meat that's medium plus. Well, no, no, yeah, they are. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, no, no, they will.
Starting point is 00:14:20 They will. No, they ain't, there ain't a piece on that meat for it. Oh, yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah, it's. Oh, yeah, yeah, I've been there before, and I told the guys when he walked by, say, hey, come here. I can look at it and find what I want. There you go.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Yeah, yeah. I'm serious. So I can look at a piece of meat cooked and find my medium plus. Yeah, me, I just want them to drop the skewer. Yeah. Well, back in the day, one of the highlights of my life was going to them with Gobwin. I don't think Gobbins ever flipped that card over yet. They just eventually quit.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Me and Willie went to one one time. They're just like, nah. Nah, bro, we ain't coming back. Me and Willie at that moment, probably we were pushing five Honda together. Yeah. I can see that. And we went to a Brazilian steakhouse, and it was...
Starting point is 00:15:11 Which ones do you go to? Somewhere in New York. Oh, so probably not the Texas Day Brazil. No, it was a Fog of the H.L. There were actual Brazilians there. I never forget. I was in... And it was a bad deal.
Starting point is 00:15:24 We were in Fort Worth working something, me and some folks from Academy. And we asked the lady in our hotel, what is the best Mexican restaurant that y'all got around here? because we won't like some authentic. You know, you're in 10. And I know we're in Fort Worth,
Starting point is 00:15:40 which ain't really like the center for authentic, but you figure there's one, right? And the lady at the hotel said, oh, y'all've got to go try this place right over here. It's called Fugode Chow. It is the best. I was like, I ain't say nothing, but I'm like, A, it's Brazilian.
Starting point is 00:15:57 B, ain't nothing about it. Mexican. No, it's really not. It's a chain. To be fair, though, how much did they pay you to say that? Y'all, does a hotel get a kickback off of any? Is the lady who asked at the hotel? Was she Mexican?
Starting point is 00:16:15 She looked Hispanic. Wow. But she could have been French and Indian probably. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I technically look Hispanic. Yeah. Sometimes it's you fit, friend. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:16:28 But. I was just so perplexed and, like, all of us look at each other. That is a great suggestion. You know what that means? There's not one. That's where you needed to go. Yeah. I'll tell you, my favorite thing at those Brazilian steakhouse is the grilled little cheeses that they serve with the honey.
Starting point is 00:16:48 I almost go there for that more than the actual steak. I don't guess I've ever made it that far. Well, they do it at Fago. Oh, okay. There's grilled little cheese. There's little cheeses that they grill and they put honey on it. Tell me more. At Fago, I had a whole.
Starting point is 00:17:02 How do they make this? It's apparently some. kind of aged cheese that if you're at Fago, which is a chain, is exclusive to Fago. Oh. And they pretty much just grill the cheese and put honey on it. I mean, there's not that much scientific about it. I think so Stone has got, he must have been reading that or went there. Because he's got where he smoked cheeses now.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Oh, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's on social media everywhere. Stone being a new Instagram guy getting all the, all, all, the algorithm. No, I know. Yeah. One of the greatest things you can make is take a block of cream cheese and smoke it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:45 And that is it. Yes. I ain't ever had him. Oh, yeah. Those are next level. I'll probably. That actually looks pretty good. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. A melt. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah. I will drive Dallas right now. Oh, I'd eat that.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Yeah. I have season passes to Six Flags if you want to go. I grew up going to Astro World. Okay, that was the true six flags. Yeah, they shut that one down for a reason, Big Dog. Yeah, you know why? Well, I don't want to tell. This is a family show.
Starting point is 00:18:13 I'm just saying. Somebody get killed. I mean, I'll tell you, growing up in Houston. H-town. No Astro. No Astro. H-town. Hold it down.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Never played. Anyway, what I'm saying? Like, they used to do the fright fest at AstroWorld, right? And it was like a Houston tradition that you go to AstroWorld on Halloween. and you know what I'm saying if it pops off it pops off you know we we're showing up we're showing up to cause havoc you know oh y'all are all being hoodlums at the astro world on all hallows eve i mean yeah that's on brand yeah me and my church youth group used to take the bayon over six flags over texas every summer rucker how you uh where are we at on the baby clock uh it's due in
Starting point is 00:19:01 august oh it's a boy by the way it's gonna be a boy it's a boy it's a boy so That was the weakest gender reveal I've ever been to, and I appreciate it. No, you've been to one worse. No, I'm just saying. I'm saying that one didn't have a lot of oomph and pop and circles. Exactly. And then I said, and I appreciate it. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I ain't nothing worse if somebody being like, hey, can you ruin your day to see what I'm having? No, put it on Facebook like we did 20 years ago. Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine. Yeah. Well, we did do a gender reveal and put it on. on Facebook. Did you invite me? No. You didn't do a party. No. Well, there was a party, but my wife wanted to keep it real small and intimate. And I was like, so I didn't, I genuinely mean this. Thank you for not inviting me. Yeah, well. I didn't want to go. Also, thank you. Yeah. I will, I will echo that
Starting point is 00:19:53 sentiment. Yeah, yeah. So, because you know, me, if it's up to me, we're going to have a party, we're going to have a party. But it looks like we all knew it since we're all wearing blue. Like, congratulations, Rucker. You're having a boy. He announced he was having a baby on accident last time he was here. Yeah. It happens. He didn't actually announce it. No, he never confirmed it.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And now it's a point. I alluded to it. I built suspense for everybody's just chomping at the bed. So August, what time in August? Like early or late August? Don't know. You just remember August? Somebody's, people have been asking me, oh, what day in August?
Starting point is 00:20:27 I'm like, I don't know. I just know August. We got this thing on a stamp. Shoot for the 26th. That's all on. I'm saying. I think it's supposed to be early August. We need to talk, son.
Starting point is 00:20:40 About? Your wife is a delight. This is true. Everybody likes her way more than they like you. Everybody have come across. Don't tell her that. I won't. But a pregnant woman in West Monroe, Louisiana.
Starting point is 00:20:52 In July. In August, is going to be the scariest thing. And I know you've seen some scary stuff. There's nothing scarier than this. So this is one, a couple of things. Number one, she's not having morning
Starting point is 00:21:06 six. Oh, that means it's going to be miserable at the end. Well, what it also means is that all of the side effects are psychological and mood. So basically,
Starting point is 00:21:19 I mean, I'm telling you, I come home some days and I feel like I better walk on eggshells. You should start right now. I'll be back. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:21:30 A pregnant lady that was forced to watch this by her husband just threw something at a TV. Yeah. Well. Are you saying that? My wife has, she's an anger person. She and Big Dave's group on Friday night. Yeah. Yeah. Is she
Starting point is 00:21:47 really? No. I mean, you know, Rucker hang out there so much. I just figured that may have been where they met. So. It is. No, we met at church. Yeah. There you go. But no, she's cool. I mean, really, she's handling it like a champ. You know what I mean? 72 degrees outside. Well, yeah. I mean, it's going to get, it'll get worse. She ain't gained 40. pounds. Yeah. No, she's only gained, I think.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. There's no amount of humor that can make that okay. Stop. But she's going to, and then it's going to be 104. She got, so she's still fairly early. She's going to throw stuff at you. Yeah, I think she's like at 20 weeks. She got any of them weird craving things yet where like she only eats certain things? Not really, not too much. I mean. She ain't on like that pickle bag or nothing. No, no.
Starting point is 00:22:38 No. What amazes me about that whole process, is how the body makes room for all of that. Yeah, until the end. Yeah, take that, you know. And then there is no room. She's got a stomach deal, you know, this wrapped around, you know, just for miles.
Starting point is 00:22:59 If you had to cut some money open, you can run it out for a mile. Yeah. And then you say, okay, you want, you pregnant. Oh, well, yeah, okay. And when he gave birth to an album Did he weigh 12 pounds?
Starting point is 00:23:15 What in the world? How did the body do that? Because I'm looking at saying, wait a minute. It blows my mind. It really does. It does. They have giant. With Scott and Trace said giants?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Well, no, no, because I'm just saying when you think about a woman having a baby, that's you know it's a miracle number one okay number two for the body to move around and and actually something can grow in there oh yeah and get to 12 pounds without killing the lady now it's insane i can't say nothing brittany have 14 pounds well no no that's what i'm saying we never even got there with any of what did all what did the body do with all that other stuff that was already there It's a man, this again points to intelligent design. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Well, no, no. Yeah. I mean. Yeah, there has to be a creator. Oh, absolutely. Oh, no. Yeah, because you can't look at that and say, okay, oh, no, this just happened. No.
Starting point is 00:24:19 No, it did, you idiot. This is of a scale of degree here of, of, you know, microscopic. It's, you know, it's so insane. mainly perfect. And just a microbe washed up on a beach. Yeah. Yeah. And then one single cell jumped out of the ocean and stood up.
Starting point is 00:24:44 And, hey, that makes me just want to knock you out. Because you're so stupid, okay? Ron White has ruined me. You can't fix stupidity. Yeah. Not even with duct tape. No, you can't. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:00 But I look at the birth of a child. It's wild. It's just, it's a real pounder. Rucker, you're going to watch? Oh, yeah, I'm in there. You're in there, but you're going to watch. This kid would never make it.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Well, you know, with Noah, I mean, so Noah, now, mind you, it's been 15 years since I've done that. And back then, I was really high. Just in general. So, like, you know, it was like,
Starting point is 00:25:32 I don't remember a lot, out of the process, but I do remember being... Pause, pause, right? Hey, Hunter. I love it. Hunter, clip that for Noah's therapist. Yeah, I don't know. I love it, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Truth in it's best. People in recovery are very honest. Yeah. No, I mean, rigorous honesty. Oh, man. Rigorous honesty. And you're not to remember. I was young back them days and, hey, most of the time I was up here.
Starting point is 00:26:04 How old are you with Noah? Oh, goodness. So 20. 20. 20. Running the streets. Well, you know, I was really trying to dial it in. You know, I was trying to live this life that at the time I just was not mentally prepared for it.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I mean, really. Well, most of us are not that way anyway. Well, yeah. You said it truthfully. And so me and his mom were kind of just all over the place running around, you know, stay in place to play. because we didn't have a lot of stability. But, I mean, I do remember going to the hospital and being, like, I remember. You were in the room when Noah was born?
Starting point is 00:26:43 Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Matter of fact, we didn't know what we were going to. We couldn't come up with the name. And I said, well, when he pops out, I'll know what the name. And so that was the plan. You'll know what the name?
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yeah, like, I'll see him and be like, okay. You really were high. A moment will seize him and they'll know. I'll see him, and I'll know, like, Noah was one of the options. There was a couple other Oh no. Oh, no. Noah.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Yeah, Noah. Hey, don't worry about it, boys. I got this covered. The moment I see him pop out, I don't know what to name is. That's exactly. Yeah. And it worked out great. He looks like a Noah.
Starting point is 00:27:18 I mean, it fits him. Well, hey, there you go. Why is he got a boat? No, he ain't got a boat. He just, I mean. Very large one. Do you have a humongous white beard and he's 500 years old? No, but you know, some names just fit people.
Starting point is 00:27:31 You know what I mean? Like, no, I'm going, I will, I will agree. I'll agree. You're way more rucker than you are, Brian. He's way more of a Noah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But that's, you know, that's my firstborn son.
Starting point is 00:27:44 So he's the legacy, you know, he'll carry on the torch. And I feel confident about it. Well, I hope it's the one you gathered later in life for your sake. Well, that's why he's at OCS. We're breaking generational chains here. Well, he's at OCS and not OCC, so that's a good start. Oh, man. We're starting real good.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yeah. What? Y'all got a name for this one yet? You want to announce that here too? Uh, yeah, I will. Because you know what? My wife would be upset if I was asked that question and didn't answer it. However, I don't think she really watches these, especially whenever I'm on it.
Starting point is 00:28:16 But hold on. Do y'all have a name? Yep. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yep. Please be John David. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Is it Grant? What? No. No, it's, uh, it's Ian. But spelled E-A-N-N-N. N, E-N. E-A-N-N? E-N.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Excuse me. Why can't you spell it normal? Well. No, this is not normal. Well, okay, okay, okay. I'll tell the story. That's I-A-N, man. Someone with a different name, because I got two of them.
Starting point is 00:28:51 I'm very pro. Just spell it, right. Well, but that is a way to spell it. That is a way to spell it. Look it up. Google that on your road. He's going to be in the fifth grade. Somebody's going to be like, uh, and, uh, and he's going to be, it's Ian.
Starting point is 00:29:06 My mom and dad got clever. Well, wait a minute. You said it was what spell one? A-I-N. A-I-N. You have two first names. Let's get on that. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:29:16 My parents- He's technically got three. Yeah. Ian, baby name, origin and popularity. It does not rank high on the popularity. That's list. Again, where, you know. That tracks with.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Origin is Scott. other origins are Hebrew and Irish that's right go to the meaning is God is gracious that's right baby resembling a bird oh huh we fly like an eagle baby hey we got one boat person you sure are a stubby eagle you got one boat person and then we got a eagle way more like a milder drake than you were an eagle no no no no he was more like one of them penguins that emperor penguins you can't see their ankles I thought you're going to say a coo nah well you know all i'm saying i actually do think that's the way you spell in if you're in scotland that's the way they say it well there's that nope i don't know if that's they got two
Starting point is 00:30:14 they got two ends on the end of it over but it means god is gracious that's where it is and that's where we're at you know i still the boy looked at you and said why can't you spell it right that well so i have a thing for names because i i i i I'm very passionate about the fact that if you're going to call a child something. And you're calling him Ian, right? Yeah, yeah. His name's Ian. It means God is gracious.
Starting point is 00:30:41 And we're going to call him Jake. And I'm like, what the heck? I'm very passionate. Whatever you're going to call the kid, just put it in the first name blank on the birth certificate. Just all of it. If you're going to call him John David, Jingleheimer Smith, put all of that in the first name blank. Whatever it is, you put it in the first name blank. You just brought it up.
Starting point is 00:31:01 You got a kid with an interesting name. Where did Benz come from? Mercedes Benz SuperDite. I don't know. We did it to him too. I apologize, Benz. That's what I'm saying. You just came up with names.
Starting point is 00:31:13 There ain't no many of them. Didn't you name Carter after a Lil Wayne album? All I'm saying is they should hold on to their teenage daughters when it gets all era. But no, we didn't name. Well, all of Little Wayne's albums are the Carter. Well, that's what I'm saying. I thought that, was that not you? I thought that's how Carter's name.
Starting point is 00:31:29 It's not, but that is a fun song to sing. This is the Carter. Hey, Mr. Carter. Hello. You know how we got there is because I was really hoping for a girl, just because I felt like having a girl would be good for my development as like a man. Like I think-old dad. You wanted to be a girl-dad.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Yeah, yeah, I wanted to be a girl dad. I've already got a boy, you know. That's what Martin's open his thanks one's a girl. You know, so, but. Pardon? You should have seen that look. If Martin has the next one, we're going to have some splaining to do. We're going to have to go.
Starting point is 00:32:11 We're going to have to go. Call your buddy Clay. We're going to have to do some figuring out on some things. Yeah, snip, snip, snips, snips. But can you reverse the freeze off? You got the freeze off. You can reverse anything. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:32:22 It's 20, 25. Nothing felt cold. Oh, yeah. Something smelled hot, but nothing felt cold. It smelled hot. It sizzled like it was hot, but I guess it could have been so cold. that burns you. I don't know, but it smelled like whenever you sear off a duck after you can confirm. It wasn't the smell that got me. It was the little puff of smoke I saw going up in there.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Oh, yeah, it looked like, wait a minute, is that real or is that not a joke? It looked like. Why would I joke about? No, it looked like a little signal fire down there, like smoke smoke. It's those little whist sending up smoke signals, baby. Yeah. Yeah, we were saying it's over. The war is over. If you ever, yeah. The Apaches are leaving them. They're gone. If you ever get to a point in life and you're like, yep, I'm into that. It is a wild experience. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:33:11 And 10 out of 10 recommend. I'd do it again tomorrow. I just ran across my five-year anniversary. Hey, it's better to be safe than sorry. How do we always get on this subject? I feel like we've had this conversation. We have. Very pro.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Johnny D brought up me having a third child. Right. Even though my wife is apparently very pro that right now and I'm like, what do you mean? He's going to have to find somebody else. Whoa. Hold on. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:33 This is brand new information to me. She's having the baby feeder. She kept a kid the other day. I'm aware. Yeah. At which point I was there for about eight minutes and I texted the girl's mom said, are you really coming to get your kid? Like, because she can't stay here.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Uh-huh. Because three of them's too much. Yeah. I don't know how y'all do it and how y'all've done it. I don't, I mean. One day at a time. Now, I guess if there was perhaps a little bit larger spacing than a year. No, that doesn't help.
Starting point is 00:34:01 That makes it worse. Yeah. That's what I was to say, you got two. They're the exact same age. And then she was younger than those, she was a year, she's a year younger than my boys. That's an even fight. See, our fights are uneven at our house because Lottie wins him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Well, this girl would have won. This girl would have whooped Jackson for sure. It's all about planning and management. Well, so this is what I did. I waited 15 years, so I got a built-in babysitter. You know what I mean? When this kid is Noah's age, Noah will be. be 30 and he could very well have a family and stuff i'd just send the kid over to his house
Starting point is 00:34:37 i had three kids by the time i was 30 well that's what i'm saying i'm gonna be 40 and i better be stuck at two or i'm gonna be upset so she's oh brittany got the baby fever on you uh-huh i know i've been wondering if she told you because she told al so yeah oh yeah i'm just curious to hear how that conversation went that goal i told her she was welcome to with somebody else Yeah, that goes around. No, yeah, yeah. I mean, they get on the kicks. They won't, you know, especially after.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Well, right now, right now they're reasonably trained and kind of cool, you know. So, like, you could get caught up and, hey, let's do that part over again. No, you got to remember. I saw a newborn the other day. That's exactly right. No, I'm serious. I don't know if you could say that. What is?
Starting point is 00:35:23 No. He said I saw a newborn and he's like, that reminds me there's a lady what Ron Chapel, I think, is. her name that you know got to talking about her friends that have kids that they're in hell what these anti kids this lady's 27 years old you know but she don't understand that's your greatest achievement as a as a human being oh yeah is to become a mom and dad i love my kids i just don't want anymore yeah yeah and look and it's uh one of the better times in your life
Starting point is 00:36:01 Okay, because really, because there's no rulebook for raising kids. Okay, you ain't got a clue. Mom hadn't got a clue and then, bam, there you are with a kid. Yeah, they just send you home with them. Part of the problem today is too many people have tried to write rule books on being a parent. No, there's no, no, there's no rule. And everybody's trying to read these books on how it's supposed to look, what it's supposed to be. If I can make a recommendation on one book to at least look into,
Starting point is 00:36:35 it's about to sleeping with the kids, teaching them how to sleep on their own. That one. Does it work? Well, no, no, because it did for ours. That's your whole job as a dad and mom? Is it, hey, you raised them to be independent. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Yeah. So giving them the tools to do that via that kind of training was, I mean, that's a game changer for us. because at 7.30 at night, we go in there and we lay them suckers down, and we don't hear nothing out of them until about 7.30 the next morning. Really? Man, look. We did that with Carter, but it involved a feeding tube.
Starting point is 00:37:09 It's really easy to train them if you can just plug them in at night, feed them eight hours, wake up in the morning. What? You can't say stuff like that. But look, I asked them to put one on bins. They did not think that was funny. I was like, hey, we had this thing with Carter where we plugged him in, and he just got eight hours of milk so we could sleep.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I said, is that a big? They don't need it. Is that an option? Look this boy up. They don't think it's funny. Well, I will say, I used, there's a lot of things. Noah's really independent and he always has been. And I think a lot of the tactics that I use may not necessarily be advised, but they work.
Starting point is 00:37:53 You get what I'm saying? You don't need to admit to nothing that it gets you a child. court right now. Well, no. No, they can't put me in court. Hey, whatever works for you and the child. Yeah. Yeah, that worked for us.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I'm just saying, look into it. That's all I'm. Oh, yeah. No, I will. I will. You get on some of it because my wife, former mom, Instagram influencer or whatever, back in the gap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:16 She's circling back now, though. You're getting a little back into it. Not much, but not like it used to be. But you say the wrong thing around a woman about how her kids sleep. They get mad. We just locked the door on our kids. You're going to be in there, so you might as well go to bed. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:38:33 They come trying to get in my bed. I say, no, this is my bed. When you did that, took me back to the dog dynasty show was going on. We did that an event. And we're all there. And we're all sitting in chairs. Well, this good-looking woman walks up and sits down in Jason Robertson's lap. I hissed and he immediately.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Oh, no, no, no, look. That's what he's saying, y'all. Yeah. Hold on. When you went, you know, the only thing I heard was when she sat down is Missy's claws going,
Starting point is 00:39:07 because all you could hear was click. You know, and I said, run. She thinks they'd claw you. But to be fair, if someone were to sit in Martin's lap like that, I don't think you'd hear the claws come out as much as you'd hear like a baseball bat. No, you'd just hear her head that off the flag.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Of course this day, maybe not. I mean, she's probably fair to me too. Brittany hit you with a club is all I'm saying. Ain't no scratching. She's a hillbilly now. You got to watch her. Hey, look, don't talk about your woman like that. Why not?
Starting point is 00:39:42 I help you pick her out. I guarantee you. She's good to go. Oh, she is, but she's tough. Oh, man, alive, Lord, have mercy. How did we get here? So August baby. Circling back.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Yeah, I'm just trying to recoup. And it's a boy. It's a boy. And Batman and Robin was no good. Yeah. Oh, and its name is Ian. Ian. Ian.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Yeah. Not how you think you'd spell it. Ian. Ian. Yeah. What's it? How'd you? I do want to circle back to the name.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Did you like find a name in Hebrew? And you went with that? Or was this just like a Google search? No, so she had a. What's the middle name? Uh. We never got that either. De Witt.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Oh, I thought it was the second end. DeWitt. DeWitt. Do you. A family name? Yeah, so Noah is Noah DeWitt. I'm Brian DeWitt. We've got DeWitt.
Starting point is 00:40:37 It's what she wanted. She thought it was cool. Hey, it's her child. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I ain't going to argue with it. Like, no, so. Hold on. You know what DeWitt means?
Starting point is 00:40:46 I don't want to know. The white one. You may have been misnamed, Rucker. Man. He is French and Indian. I told you. He's the white one. Brian, the white one, Rucker.
Starting point is 00:41:02 You didn't have to tell them it was a white one when they spelled a name E-A-N-E-N. This has been one of my favorites. It took us a second, but we got going. Oh, I'm freaking believe. So the name, all right, all right, so here's the name story. Okay, so she had a brother that unfortunately passed away, little brother. And he passed away. He was 15 years old.
Starting point is 00:41:22 And his name started with an E. Okay. There you go. And so she wanted a name that started with an E. and a lot of the e names I wasn't really jiving with too much. Like Edgar? I was thinking of, but Edgar DeWitt actually sounds kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Well. So then you said, what if we just take an I name and put an E in front of it? No, it was kind of like it starts with an E and then it's kind of half of my name like Brian. So it just kind of came up with it. There's way too much of you and this kid.
Starting point is 00:41:52 You ain't doing none of the work. What do you mean? I've done the work. I promise you, I did the work. I put the work in, dog. It was a... I was spoken like every male. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:04 He did. It was there. Yeah, I was there. It took a long... I was a long couple of days. Yeah. It was a... No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I mean, look... What's your woman's name? Uh, Kaley. I'm proud of her, though. Man, she's... But, man, she is... Careful. Yeah, you're stumbling.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Yeah. I'm so proud of it. But you don't ever go with I'm so proud of her, but. No, no, no, I didn't say but. He was about to. I was trying to save him. No, no, no, no, no, no. You cut me out, okay?
Starting point is 00:42:37 Check the comments. People say you have a problem with that. Boy, we're going to step in here recording another one. God will better bring it. I forgot what I was saying. What was I supposed to be saying? Well, then John David's tactic work. Yeah, it worked.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Because you said I'm proud of her. You said you were proud of your wife. Yes, because. She is just, like, man, she's a, she is a hard worker. She handles this, like, being pregnant thing, like, very well. I mean, you know, it could be difficult, but she's just handling it. I mean. Is this going to be y'all's only one together?
Starting point is 00:43:17 I don't know. She's young. She's young, how young? She's just turned 26. Oh, okay. She ain't old like that. Yeah, yeah. You're on that Jay's gone, man.
Starting point is 00:43:27 I like the way. I like the way to handle that. I don't know. You just turned 26? Yeah. Well, she made comments. after we did the gender reveal and I was like, oh, it's another boy. She's like, well, we try again.
Starting point is 00:43:39 But then she's like retracted that statement since. So, you know, we'll just see what happens. I'm no biologist, but you got time to figure that out. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And from my experience, it takes roughly two and a half years for that to get back to where they want to do that again. Not if you have a girl. Lottie will cut all that out.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Lottie will get you an appointment made by your wife. Yeah. I'll send that chick to y'all's house. for an afternoon and your wife's be like, nope, that's a little psychopath, just like her mom. She does hiss a lot. That's the thing I've taken home from the pizza night. She hisses a lot. I taught her that.
Starting point is 00:44:16 If you see a boy, you don't like hiss at them. Or she don't like me. She literally, she'll do the hiss. She'll hiss at you for sure. Yeah, with a claw. Like, yeah, she gets me. You mean she'll hiss at me. I'm a friendly face.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Maybe not. I think so. Did you just call yourself a friendly face? Yeah. he is he hey look at the guy he has a friendly face I mean come on
Starting point is 00:44:38 yeah come on he's a friendliest former inmate I ever made yeah man most former inmates are friendly because of former inmates yeah humility goes a long way right there's a level of gratitude for you know not being there
Starting point is 00:44:52 for being anywhere but rehabilitated anyway we just went shawshank okay I was about to Man, we're in all the great movies today. Oh, man. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Andy Dufram. Jurassic Park. Andy couldn't run all. He spelled it IA. in. Yeah. The, it was just for Hunter.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Man, what a life. Hunter, you going to see any movies this weekend? Remember whenever I said he's just like Carter? Can I recommend the Chosen? No, he ain't going to that. That's way too. You got to read the book first. Hunter's going to see Minecraft.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Are you? Are you going to see the Minecraft movie this weekend? Let's tell me at 4 o'clock, so you'll be there at the same time as Carter. Yeah. When I hurt me and my sister going. Oh, man. You want to take a 50-year-old as a child to yearn for the mines? You won't be the only one there with a double ear infection.
Starting point is 00:45:52 There'll be some kid there waiting to get tubes next week from the E&T. He held off so that he could see the movie. Yeah, he didn't want to be in recovery when the movie dropped. Well, originally we were going to go tonight to go see it, but now me, my friends and my sister are going to go to Shreveport and go watch it in a fancy theater. We're going to dress up. Dude, whoa, whoa, wait, whoa, time out.
Starting point is 00:46:12 You're going to drive to Shreveport to watch a movie that you could watch. In IMAX. Rucker, where it's more expensive. Oh, Rucker, you're going down a, you're going down a path. Rucker, this cat drove to Austin to watch Barbie. And Oppenheimer, to be fair. Barbenheimer. we're breaking down all kinds of walls today.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Rockers having kids. Can we psychoanalyze Hunter real quick? Because now I'm interested. No, we can't. There's not enough time. You didn't tell me you were dressing up. That was a new development. What are you going to dress up as?
Starting point is 00:46:54 Unless you get sick. Suit and tie. Steve? Suit and tie. Didn't Steve? The Minecraft goes to the movie? Yeah. For what?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Wait a minute. Is this like a, like they serve food and drinks at this movie? No. That's popcorn and hot dogs, brother. So you're going to wear a suit to go watch Minecraft an hour and a half away with people that also live here, right? They don't live in Shreveport. You all are all like carpooling over? Is that going to drive?
Starting point is 00:47:22 We're going to dress fancy. We're going to go to the Minecraft movie because it'll be funny. Wait, wait, wait, you're not dressed. Whoa, whoa. I thought you were like dressing up as a Minecraft. No, no, no. You're like going to prom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:32 I mean, no. Oh my gosh. This is the whitest thing I've ever heard. My friends wanted to do it and it sounded fun. What is this? I'd calm down to wit. Are we in the twilight zone here? No, that's what he does.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Are you dead serious? I'm dead serious. Hunter. Ruther's been to jail, Hunter. Tell me about this girlfriend. Like, number one, how did it happen? She ain't here. Well, that's what I'm...
Starting point is 00:47:57 She had North Carolina. Bro. Bro. The girlfriend ain't going to the movie. Are you gonna... Is she going to the movie too, and y'all are facetaming? because I know y'all do that a lot.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Are watching shows? Are any of the friends going female? No, just my sister. Okay. His twin sister. Because they were going to get on a whole lesson here. Don't do so. Is this a twin thing?
Starting point is 00:48:18 Is this something I need to prepare myself for? I don't know. Okay. I don't think your twins will dress up as they're going to prom to watch the mind. Currently, my kids hate clothes. My kids hate clothes. But they are very into Minecraft. They are.
Starting point is 00:48:31 They are. They are my kind of people. Currently, they just, currently if it were up to them, no diapers would be involved. They just run around butt-necked out of the yard in their booth. That's the good, man. We had to duct tape diapers on the bins. We had to, it was like, just strap him in. No, whaling will look at you because they wear like that pull-up style.
Starting point is 00:48:49 And then it just, he says, I don't like it. Oh, that's it. He'll look you in the eye and do it too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And that little stingers out. I'm telling you, it's all about freedom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Hunter, have you ever want a diaper to the movie? Hey, that freedom ring, baby. Get up? No. I'm just checking. Let me ask this. What is the mind's, set purpose for
Starting point is 00:49:08 dressing, like wearing a suit to the movie. Is there, what is the, what? It's funny. It's funny. I kind of agree. I mean, it is kind of funny, but like, will this be documented on your Instagram?
Starting point is 00:49:24 Probably. Thank God. Thank you. We're going to need something to talk about next to you. Worth to follow. One of my new best friend. At Hunter Nick Nerd. When are you doing this?
Starting point is 00:49:35 I think Sunday. so interesting. All right, I've got a Bible verse to wrap this sucker, and I feel like it's very important for everyone to listen to, or your children will drive to Shreveport to watch movies. Proverbs 226, train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it. Amen.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Hunter, I love you. Rucker, I love you. Thanks for joining us, everybody. That one was fun. Unbelievable. We might be back again. Quack, quack.
