There we go. There we go. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We are live. Well, kind of. We are recorded. We are right now. We are right now, but not when everybody will see this.

But Godwin has been a minute. How you doing, man? Welcome back. Yeah, welcome. Oh, welcome to me. Yeah, I was welcoming back you. I love being busy. Well, good.

I like it when you're busy. Busy means employed, right? That's right. But you're unemployed. Well, yourself. He's fully semi-retired. You've been busy on the water? Every day, yeah.

He's starting to slow down right now, but I don't know. People think that crappie only back in the spring, but man, we catch them all year long. Yeah. So there you go. And catching some bigons here lately. So if you got a hankering and you need to catch a cropy, take them out. Gobbenguindguides.com. This isn't even an ad.

But we are helping our big jinky pinters. Oh, Lord. I tried to find them suckers. I could not find them. No. I don't know what's happened to them. I know. The blue gills are there, but the chicken pin, I don't know where they're going to.

They're deep, I guess. I guess I'm going to look on. I don't know because I always wanted to figure out where they was at, not when they on the head. I was saying a couple of things. I wanted to find them when they was just in a big school somewhere. I would too, deep. You got me. I'm going to go on a mission to find.

I know because I grew up on Black Bile, which is above Freeport about 30 miles in Vivian area. But we had big chinky pens in that thing. Black Bile, I mean, big ones. Yo, but the only time you could catch them when it was on the beds. I know. Well, they got up. Yeah, that's what I would like to figure out.

You know, only move at night and them suckers can do some damage. Oh, yeah. Hey, Beaver's have killed more timbers. than the timber industry. Yeah. Well, let me tell you. Hey, and they have made some beautiful lakes, though. Yeah, make good duck holes.

Oh, yeah. Good backwater slum. But the problem is, see, at my neighborhood pond now, we got a beaver. Well, hey. And you want to talk about slick because he isn't in there. He ain't living there. He just come and all down the tree and leave. And then he leaves.

No, no, the coolest film I ever watched about a beaver. You know, the guy. guy's got a long range camera, y'all, and he's looking five, six, seven hundred yards down through the wood. And it's a little trickle of water about, oh, maybe a foot wide, just going down through the wood. Drame. And then you can see something moving, but you can't see it clearly. You could just tell there's movement.

Well, it finally gets up there where you can identify. It's two beavers, and they're walking in the little water, you know. And they finally come up. put the dam and then they start working. And then it fast forward. This thing runs like for six months. It starts out with two. And then the next thing you see is there is a dam that has been built.

That's 350 yards long and about 15 feet high. And then they're just a gorgeous lake behind it. Doppers trees. There's deer drinking and big Canadian homes. Wonkers coming in and lighting. Good, great. Dish popping, yo, just, you know, unreal. PBS.

Yeah. Hey, oh, it was a good film, though. Good one. Well, that's a good film, but you got any tips for getting rid of this thing at the neighborhood pond if he ain't living there? Well, there's a couple of ways you can do it. Jungle jelly. Yeah.

No, I know you're. Oh, no, you can get with fire. You'd ask to find where he live. Find his little hut and then burn him out. But, hey, all right. Or you could go out at night, okay, because that's when they work, okay. Yeah. Go at night with like a 223 or 30 off six, whatever you want to use, you know,

catch him out there on the water and go ahead and pop me like you do a big gator. Well, you won't go out there? I'll shoot him. Me and you sit there all night. Hey, I'll shoot him. We ain't going to be able to listen to music. We have to be quiet, huh? You got to be quiet to hunt them thing?

No, you just have to be camouflaged. Ah, there you go. Oh, you just got to go at night. You dress as one of their cousins. There you go. Then you come or running. That's you in a beaver costume. That is.

Have I ever sent you that gift of him like that? Yeah, I think you did the other day. Oh, crap. I have that one saved. I'm always dressing up, boys. Hitsen up. It's sire like that. It says, all crap.

And I send that one to way too many people. You've literally sent that to me in the past, like, week. Yeah, I keep it. And it didn't even make sense. when you send it. No, it never does. I had a buddy of mine.

I just makes me laugh when I see it, so that's why I do it. Hey, he owned the old river on Red River. The river had cut and left it a beautiful old river there. And he wanted to drain it. He was going to plowed up

and plant stuff there. He was going to drain it. They went down, him and his former went down there one day with a couple of boxes of dynamite. you know, and they, it's a big beaver down. You know, he put a bunch of dynamite and blew it, you know. You know, log when they were where water started flowing, you know,

and so they left. Come back to the next morning. Look. You know, and it's, they built it back overnight. You know, well, he had about 20 acres of timber. Yeah. Over there pretty close, you know. So they weren't paying any attention.

So, hey, they built it back. So, hey, he told, you know, his. former go get some more dynamite i'm going to drain this and i'm going to plant stuff there is that not one of the best things ever but anyway hey they kept blowing this down and the next thing on hey he said the foreman told the boss said hey have you drove driven by your timber lately and the guy said no he said you don't have it anymore he said what do you mean i don't have anymore he said that's how they're building it back overnight he said they're going to the timber down and then, you know, so they, they, they, they, 20 acres of timber.

20 acres. The only way, you either got to trap them and take them somewhere else or kill them, because you're not going to stop a beaver from baking a dam. What gets me, it don't matter if it's coming in or going out. Oh, yeah, if it's moving there or coming in, they're going to stop it. If it's moving, they're going to stop. Yeah, that's the problem, duck hunt. Yeah.

When you try to put water on it, they don't want to. going there. Yeah. They don't want to allow you to live there. And then once you get it there, they're like, well, no, this's pretty cool. Let's, let's, let's, we don't want it to leave. Let me show up what you started here with. You know, the sound of running water, you know, by a creek or something, that's pretty

soothing. Yeah. Not to them, they hate it. Yeah, they hate the sound. Oh, they hate it. No. You think it makes them pee too much? Might do it.

God put it in that beaver. Okay. Look. And, hey, you know, what are that, what are the, what are them? St. Transom? Is that what they shoot to level? Make, see where the lowest part is? Transit. Huh?

Or what? Is it transit? I think it's a transit. Transit's the machine. But anyway, that's built in a... Apparitis. That's built into a beaver. Oh, yeah.

You don't need any kind of technology. No. He knows when he's on the ground, he knows, hey, this is the lowest pot in this area. That's because he went up there and he gnawed on the tree, me mark when the water was up. All right. Well, no, no. He said, out right there.

He liked us, time flagging tape. He was talking, he got involved. He had to get a permit. And so he got involved with the Corps of Engineers, you know. And he asked a question about, you know, they asked a question. Well, did you have it? The people come in and make sure this is the lowest part and Phil laughed. And he said, no.

I said, I checked with the ones that really already know it. And the guy said, what are you talking about? He said, hey, the beaver people. put the dam here, this is the lowest part. Yeah. Trust me when I tell you. So they didn't believe it. So they brought a guy out as a machine, you know?

Yeah. And he said, well, you was right. Phil said, oh, I had no doubt that I knew I was right. Okay. It's about like the ninjas. The suckers only work at night and they're hard. Somebody has made a habit of putting inspirational quotes of sigh on inspirational, regular quotes of sigh and putting them on inspirational platform.

Well, I like it. Hey, you know. He's not wrong. Well, good. They are hard to find out. That was like we was talking about something, and I said something, or Philip said it. I think Philip brought it up.

If it's known, it's manageable. Oh, yeah. Then when we did the research, Philip said, hey, I found out where that came from. And I said, where? He said, you're a book. And I said, get out of here. You're pulling my leg.

I'll tell you. He said, you was the one that came up with that. And I said, well, hey. What is known is manageable? That is pretty. That's pretty. So what we need to find out is where the beaver is so we can manage it. Well, and that's why I got a trail camera out, but he hasn't been dumb enough.

Yeah, he ain't been dumb enough to walk in front of him. I went to his most recent cut and thinking he would come back here. He got like three quarters of the Cypress Tree cut and he ain't been back. He's, hey, he's one of them. He's saving it. Special ops, guys. Special ops beavers? Yeah, he's a special op beaver.

Okay. You think it's a male or a female? You ain't going to get him twice if they never take the same trail. Really? No, I'm serious. Really? Yeah. Yeah, that's the first thing you learn in special ops.

Yeah. You never travel the same trail. Yeah. See, that's why I... You always go a different... And stop for 15. See, that's the problem of me. Like, if somebody was hunting me, I'd be easy to get.

Well, no, no. Because I take the same trail every day. Yeah, because they can pattern you. Yeah. You've got to be unpatterable. No. Very patternable. All right, look, springtime is here.

It's warming up. what that means, that means more outside cook. And y'all know, we love to eat beef around here. And that's what, because of our friends over at Triedale's beef, makes such a good product, ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sall Robertson would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Triedells, 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 Triedale's beef, we skipped the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedails 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'll 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 Triedails

Beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, 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. I got a fun story. Do you?

Look that. It's about Martin. Oh, that's parallel. So I was telling. What was that last night? Oh, no. I was telling people, I said, me and Martin are like kind of weird friends because sometimes I want to tell Martin a story, but then I'm like, well, I have to wait for the podcast

so I get his honest reaction if it's funny. But every once while we'll talk on the phone. And Martin calls me last night while he's giving his kids a bath. And I was, you know, I don't even know where my kids are at because they can wipe their own butts and stuff, which is a magical age. And so all of a sudden I hear, oh, no. oh no no no no and i was like oh goodness what's what's happened oh not and i got it was sheer panic out of the voice of martin which i've never heard before and he goes man i got to go waylan's

covered in his own crap again and he hung up on me and i haven't talked or seen martin since that moment yeah what happened martin so mom went on a walk what she does me we do this pretty much every evening and like I get home she goes and she gets home whatever she goes walk because I don't want her walking in the dark or whatever so I'm like yeah go ahead I got the boys and I was running the bath

and cleaning up their high chairs we just got done with dinner and all the things and I'm vacuuming but I was talking to you like and I just hear a shriek and I'm like what in the world like why is what why is this sound

coming out of wheyla I mean I knew it was him and then I turned around and looked and he had a brown finger in the air checking the win and all I heard was poo-poo and I said that's when I said

oh God because then at that point I looked at his finger and then I looked at him and I saw little streaks and I said oh no oh no I'm surprised I thought the last thing you heard me say was don't put it in your mouth I was laughing I was laughing

too hard at that point. His hand was headed towards his face. And I was like, this is not Kevin. I was like, I mean, I was gagging and dry heathed like, I mean,

I don't mind poopy diapers. Like, why? Now, you white, the diaper or something else. Once it goes other places, we got a problem. And it's human.

And I mean, I was just like, I just asked him, I said, why did you do that? And he looked at me and he said, poopoo stink.

And I was like, so you decided to touch it? Hey, yeah, he's going to find out. He says, let's see, let's see. And then to top it all off, Jackson just standing there watching everything, you know. And then I look over there and him and his rear end is as big as this Yetty cut. And he does, so they don't drop two deuses on me while I'm alone. One of them covered in it. And the other one just standing there like, boy, I'm glad I didn't touch mine.

It was so funny. I mean, it was. Why would he do that? It was full-blown disinfectant. I got them into the bathtub. after cleaning them and Brittany walks in about right when I get done, perfect time and just like a rainbow show up after the storm. Oh no.

Hey. Yeah. And I see a conspiracy. Yeah, I know. I was like, what are you doing? Waiting out there? She just walks in. She said, it smells like pooping here.

Yeah. I see a conspiracy here, boys. And she said, why did you change clothes? I said, because I didn't know if Whelan got any that was on his finger on me or not. And that was not a chance I was willing to take. No, that's straight in the washing machine. Like, I mean, because I'm holding him out like she's going. walk every time right after dinner?

No, I mean, she generally goes like before they sit down to eat. Like, their poop time is not dinner after dinner. That is not. That was a new one. That is not. That is not. Well, when I picked them up from my mom yesterday, because she keeps them on days Brittany works, she said, neither one of them is pooped.

I said, oh, Lord. Oh, boy. I mean, they're pretty regular, but they just, at moms, they play more. She just got more airy out there. So they play outside. And if they're outside, they generally don't take a dump. Like, they don't take a dump until they come inside and get cooled off, which I can appreciate that. Sweaty dumps are no good.

Yeah, that's no good. Especially if you're going to do it in your pants. But when she told me that when I picked them up, I said, oh, Lord, it's coming at some point. I just never dreamed that Wayland's pointer finger. Well, you made my night. What have been, well, I'm glad. I walked out, I said, Allison, guess what Martin just said right before you hung up on me? Oh, boy.

Well, I think everybody's been there, right? I don't know. Oh, for sure. Whalen is obsessed with poop right now for summer. Like if Jackson takes a poop, he goes over there and he'll pull his diaper back and say, poo poo, poo, I don't know what. And then whenever you change in him, he said, I want to see it. I want to see it.

I'm like, what is this new infatuation with poop? What's a fascination here, young sir? Yeah, what is the, I don't know, I guess just ages of a child. I don't know. I mean, it's, I mean, we're, maybe because we're working on potty training, I don't know that's why i like you because it reminds me that my kids i've been through that and but it's just way easier yeah yeah when they wipe their own although the other night whenever i broke the washing machine yeah that was a tragedy uh-oh hmm why did you break your washing machine well ben's wakes

me up and said he threw up and i'm like huh and i i was like all right let me go clean it and i fell back asleep and then i got punched by my wife who said are you really going back to sleep i said my bad, I'm getting up. I go upstairs, I get, there's puke everywhere. And I'm like, why is there so much puke here? And it's because the boy ate a whole strawberry pie for dinner, and he

learned a lesson. Why are you two looking at each other like that? I just got a cold sweat. But we'll talk about that in a minute. God. All right, we're going to that next. Oh. Oh. You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. Because this is a nightmare, I'm telling you. Yeah, I'm also a nightmare. Well, I got another one coming for you, buddy. Welcome to the nightmare. So, ladies and gentlemen. So it's 1 a.

I got chills, man. Got to money. Oh, wait for this story. Oh, I am. Let's go. So Benz has puked all over his sheets. There's some clothes. And I'm like, all right, let me get all this.

And I just go throw it in the washing machine, throw some soap in there, start it. Go back upstairs and check on Benz, get them back in bed. And there's more puke. Oh, no. And then there's more puke. Oh, no. And the kid doesn't eat.

And I'm like, what have you done? And he's like, I don't know. And I said, what do you eat for dinner? He goes, one piece of strawberry pie. But it was pretty big. So he'd done snuck a bunch of pies. It was one servant. I had a piece of pie.

He said there was a half a pie left, but I didn't cut it. So it was one piece. And then he went and got on a rollerblades and a segue and churned everything up and went to bed all sweaty and woke up and just puked everywhere. So then I'm like, well, dead gum, there's a pillow covered in, I mean, there's puke everywhere. The toilet's full. I just throw the pillow in the shower, hose it down, threw it away the next day at the dumpster. But then I go downstairs because now I got more clothes, more blankets, and I got to get them in the washing machine.

Yeah. And the washing machine will not open. All you got to do is stop, right? I did. And then it still won't open. And I'm like, well, something's messed up. So I'll reach in there, pop. And I opened it.

Uh-oh. and then now the wash machine won't start and at this point my wife who was already annoyed with me for falling asleep walks in and goes what have you done and why is there's soap everywhere i said i don't know i'm trying to get it started it won't start everything and so then at some point i just gave up and i hand washed all the puke clothes in the sink in the well you're leaving out one key part of the story right well so then i was trying to start start it. Uh-huh. And, you know, sometimes at 1.30 in the morning, your best judgment is not there. And I got so angry, I hit the start button. Hit it? No, I punched the fire out of it. Did it come on? Nope. Still didn't come on. And I was like, just start. Boom. And I was like, did I just do that? And then my wife walks in and said, what have you done? And I said, I'm going to go order a new washing machine. Why as humans do we feel like that helps? I don't know.

Yeah, I mean, like even when your truck, like, if you got a dead battery or something, it won't crank, what's the staring wheel or something? Like, well, what's that going to do? Well, for me, it ain't a flashlight. It costs me. You can't hit the batteries and get seven more seconds of light out of it. I had to, and then the Lowe's delivery man that two days later, because I was like, I could probably get this fixed, but that's going to take a week.

And every time my wife needs to do laundry, she's going to get mad at me. So at 1.30 in the morning. I bought a new washing machine to be delivered tomorrow, which turns out it's two days later if it's 1.30 in the morning. And then the Lowe's delivery guy was like, what happened to Lowe when I said, long story, lots of puk, and I got mad. And he goes, it happens, bro.

And I was like, you know what, I like you, sir? So that's the story of my washing machine that I broke. I just, and I said, I can either try and get this fixed, or I can just take a spanking. work a little extra hard this week. Yeah, that happens. And that way my wife's not mad at me over and over again. What did you have a chill about?

Yeah. Nightmare episode, man. New story. Well, our good buddy sitting beside us sent me a text, and it took me back. I'm talking about Godwin. Godwin texted you while we were sitting here, and y'all both just... Are we allowed to talk about this? Yeah.

Oh, okay. I was a little reluctant, but so... This just feels like, when I saw this, this feels like March 20, 22 all over again to me. March 20. March 20, 22. I just texted it to you so you can throw it up on the TV. And you'll see why I got chills. Do you see what it says?

Wait a, is that a, uh, do you see what it says? Baby A and baby B. That means Godwin's having twins? Godwin's going to be a grandpa. Hey. Congrats. The twins? Can you believe that?

That's what I say. We're going to need, y'all need to go on a double date with my daughter and son-in-law. Double date? Nope. Oh, hey, if they're ready, they can just come to the house and they can learn all about a poopy finger. Well, we was reluctant. He got chills. I was like, what did Godwin send?

No, I will say. In their case, that's earlier than when we found out we were having two. Our first one looked just like the baby B part of this. We missed baby A somehow in there. And then the next time we go in there, there's two little faces looking at us. Grandpa Godwin. Gigi. The two-for-one sale.

Oh, man. Twins. I love it. Well, we was... This isn't the nightmare. This is week seven. It was for me because I just went to flashbacks, cold sweats. Or no, it might be later than that.

It's going to be week 18 when we'll find out more. But, and I was a little reluctant to share because she's already had four miscarriages. So we're a little nervous. Amen. But this is a petition for prayer. I would say. I like that. I absolutely love it, man.

We'll send a lot of love. We need a specific prayer for a membrane. upon. Okay. So they're in the same house, but we need to get them in two different rooms. So they'll be safer. So they'll be safer in Biblical cord, wise, and safer for the mama, too. Ours were, we were very fortunate under the circumstances of what you're talking about. We had exactly that. We had separate everything. Everything was separate, which they say is the best case scenario for Right. Like so that,

because I didn't know with twins, man, how many people lose one or, you know, it just, I never had any idea because I ain't ever been around it. But when they're together,

because things get crossed in there. Like you're talking about cords and everything else. So when they're in separate houses, separate rooms, separate everything, just in one mama, it's a lot easier on the mom and a lot easier on the babies.

So I appreciate the prayer you're asking for. Well, I've been there. We're just, we're still nervous. And that's why I was a little reluctant, but we needed the prayers because she's never been this far. And we're just going to trust God, man. Trust God and celebrate today. That's awesome.

And wait and see what tomorrow brings. But I know prayer is powerful, so the more people know about it and can pray about it. Oh, for sure. Amen, buddy. Prayer is powerful because I know why the shield bumps. Yeah, you see it? I mean, I went back to. Every hair on my body is standing up.

Hey, I went back to it, man, because that's a nerve-wracking deal. Oh, no. Like, you're about to go from two to potentially four, and like, it is, ooh, man, but we'll be there for. We know all the, we know all the details of all that, the early ons and the, and all the things. So that's incredible. But yeah, if they want to come get a little dose of their future, show little.

Hey, I should charge them. This is like training. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's winning school. Yeah, I ain't even got to pay them. Watch our kids.

Win school. Zone defense. Oh, bad. But now that's what we're praying for a membrane of form. That's awesome, man. Well, that's awesome because, yes, she's never been this far. So that's fantastic. And we'll keep everybody posted on what's going on.

Well, no more after the 18th. Eighteenth of June, 18th of June? Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. So a little over a week. That's awesome. Yeah. That is cool.

Probably like when the sayers. Yeah, about the time this wears. Yeah. Well, that's really cool, though. Oh, that's a. And I'll say this. Our fans clearly are a praying bunch. Amen.

Because we were under siege there for a minute. Yeah, we've been covered in prayers. say, hey, y'all keep them going. His big Dave called it. He goes, we are under siege, gang. That's pretty incredible. And so... This is good, yeah.

That's incredible. We're rolling now. That is. And no twins and nobody's family, so that's pretty weird. Martin's got twins. Yeah. Well, I mean... We're family.

Well, I mean... We block in through Jesus. God moves in mysterious way. And this happened... Wait, time out. Yeah. This happened post-baptism for him, too, didn't it? I guess so.

Ain't that crazy? Because you baptized him a couple months ago, right? A month and a half ago, two months ago. Yeah. That's cool. That's cool. That's that's... He moves in mysterious ways, buddy.

That is cool, man. That is cool. Because I can tell you right now, had I not had the faith I had during this whole process, we would be a statistic of a family. Yeah. Because, man, those first few months with two of them is tough. Uh-uh. Now, John and Paula just showed up one night, like, just showed up out the blue,

and Paula starts cleaning the house, and I still ain't found a couple of things she put up. I don't know where she put up. You're not. You got it. I'm saying, they just showed up out of the blue. Somebody knocked on the door. We didn't ask for help. We didn't ask for nothing. Like, somebody just, there's knock on the door, and I opened a door, and that's John and Paula. And Paula's like, y'all sit down. And so she. That's not a little Paula move. Make a well-deserved break. Yeah. She went.

to uh paula might be an angel she went to cleaning and galvan taught him how to be an 18 wheeler like galvin was first one yeah that's what i can't do they were they were that he was in the brakes they got well they couldn't do the brakes but he got the brrude down goblin said oh he's a two stroke godwin said he a kawasaki paula always show up just in the nick of time by the way oh man that is fantastic man that's cool man that is that is man look at god man What a timing of it all. Yeah. He's going to need that firm.

He's going to need that firm foundation for what's to come for. Ooh, we. He's excited. That's awesome, man. Twins. Twins. Ooh, hey, I hope it ain't like ours.

Next time they go back, there's four of them in there because ours after that first one doubled. I can't even imagine that. What's that? Go to the doctor and he says, oh, yeah, by the way, you got four of them in there. Oh, God. Oh, no.

Hey, I will say this. I can kind of imagine. from being so close to Martin and my sister having twins, but I'm cool with just one at a time. One at a time, yeah. Well, I'll say that was the deal. I don't know if I ever told this, but we were in there for one appointment,

and we did our deal come back out to the waiting room for something. I don't even remember, and there was this guy and this girl walked out, and my man just looked beat. He's seen a ghost. Yeah, like just all the life was sucked out of him. Yeah. Poor guy.

And I was like. It's counting. was not right. I was just looking. I was like, huh, so then they, him and his woman

sat down and got to talk and I heard something. And they had four. Wow. Quadruplets? Quadruples. And they had the little picture and I just leaned over to him

and I said, man, I just want to tell you, thank you. And he said, what? I said, I've never been happier

to have twins in my life. Like, because I mean, Brittany was big pregnant at this time. Like, we were nearing the finish line of all that. But if you have four, you can probably just call TLC and get your TV show and have them paid.

As long as you got a little quirk about you. I asked him, I just had to know, you know, it's like four? And they were like, we did. This was the first round of fertility treatments. Oh, yeah. I said, oh, Lord. It worked. Well, she was, Johanna wasn't on fertility.

Nothing. Yeah, neither were we. That's what's wild. Man, we were not nothing, right? Like, we just, that's what the good Lord had playing for us, man. And I'm thankful for them. I love them. I don't want to do it again.

Not the early part. I would do this stage a hundred times over. Like, they are, aside from poop on a finger. It's really fun right now. No, your kids are fun. Being a dad. I look at this as being divine intervention. Oh, yeah.

I really do. You and Paula couldn't have, so y'all, adopt. You know, that's why, you know, the verse is that God moves in mysterious ways. Yeah. Pretty crazy, too. The news comes after a loss, too, just like with ours. My dad had just passed away.

Yeah. And then boom, next thing we know, we're pregnant with twins and, you know. Well, he's the greatest at taking something bad and turning it in something beautiful. Amen. They should write a song about that. Yeah. Oh, I imagine there's one out there. I got you.

A little graves in the gardens action. You ain't don't have to worry. There's going to be a mighty prayer list going up. Has Johanna or Paula texted Britney yet? Brittany going to scream. I don't know. She ain't texted her today because I ain't heard her. I would like to get Britney on film receiving this news because Brittany finding out she was having two

is one of my favorite things ever yeah accidental three million TikTok view thing you know whatever I was just video I was just video in it for her family since they couldn't be there and then I was like no I got to turn this off yeah I don't know just Martin had to take a knee

yeah I had to I had to take a breath a big one that's cool golly that's awesome I love it I'm so happy for it I know they've been trying man it's been a it's been a struggle it's been a process yeah you know God provides man he He continues to provide.

Well, my prayer is, say, the song, Jesus, take the wheel. Yeah. You take it and take it to the end, Father. Mm-hmm. Oh, I love it, man. Fertility is a wild thing, by the way. It is. It is.

I don't know that we're the experts to go down that road, but if you are going through that, talk to somebody for sure. Yeah. Well, that's one of them deals you hear about it. And you always, we make jokes about twins and how tough it is, but there's so many people out there that would kill. to have them.

It can't. So, like, I don't ever want it to think, we're not ever, wo is me, right? Like, it's,

it's fun, it's a blessing, it's all the things. So it's, uh, yeah, you know, but you,

you gripe sometimes to laugh about it, like, just a poopy finger. Because it helps in the moment. I just, you know, you're like,

because you don't know what else to do. I ain't ever been faced with somebody with a finger covered in poop. So, I mean, I'm just like, hey,

yeah, water hose. And then they break out like the, You break out like the outbreak suit, you know? Like, um, you, because I can one up that story whenever Carter was drinking and he still had the hole from the G-tube and everything was just coming out.

Oh, and I had to panic because it, the hole had not closed. Ah. And I was like, oh my goodness. Couldn't just put some bubble gum over it like an aluminum mode or nothing. I was just holding the side.

I was like, we got to get this boy back to the hospital. Yeah. And they're like, no, that's normal. It'll heal up in a few days. I was like,

I don't think this is normal. Yeah, You ain't supposed to leak from air. And then you meet other people whose kids been through way more than Carter, and you're like, you know what? We're all just in a rocking boat, just hoping to not capsize almost every day. And now you got a really cool. How old is he now?

11? Yes. Yeah, he turned 11 in March. Is that right? He saw Ms. Kay. That's what I'm saying. You got a really cool.

So Carter, we're driving from my parents' house and we're passing Stone's house. And Missy is on the golf cart with Ms. Kay. And Carter's like, Dad, Dad, it's Miss Kay. I said, we're going to say, hey, I roll the window down. Carter goes, good afternoon, Miss Kay. How are you doing today? She said, I'm good. And she said, I thought that was Willie.

Yeah, you go through all that, and then you get just this delight of a kid out of it. It's wild. Life is wild, y'all. Oh, man. What a day. What a life. I don't even know where to go from here because life's so wild. Oh, well, I do.

We haven't had Gobbin on since. it's been a while. Yeah, it's been a while. We haven't had a chance. We haven't shed a tear with Godwin. Is that where we're going? What are you talking about? I've been wiping my eyes the whole time over this, man.

Because I just know, I know what they've been through. Like, they don't, you know, Johanna and Cecilia don't share a lot. But I know via John and Paula what they've gone through in this fertility deal. So, and trying to, trying to have children of their own and all the things. So, I mean, that's a, that's a really cool moment for them. And for God when to be bold to share it, to ask for prayers, man, that's a, that takes a little bit too. Like, you know, so like, yeah, no, I've wiped my eyes. Like, I ain't got choked up, but I've wiped my eyes just.

I told her I was going to do it. Yeah. That's awesome. But, well, I think, well, how Jesus says, you're not out of the word. You don't get it. You don't ask. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So, Father, we are asking. Protect these two young babies in the womb. but we can see them grow up. Amen. Yeah. The world needs too many guys. That's right.

Are you kidding? We got a mini Martin. We got a mini Martin and a mini Brittany. I need to see a many. I thought you were about to say too many Martin and I was going to say, no, you do not. There is one of you and one of Brittany. That is the true statement. Because then you look up in like two years and you're doing what we did this morning

and taking them to swim lessons. It's a fun, it's a fun time, man. My kids were rollerblading in the living room all in underwear yesterday. and rip the blinds off the wall. Yeah. And I had to scold them and then turn around and just go, man, life's good. Oh, it is. Yeah, if that's your biggest problem, that's a good problem.

Yep. Like, that's the... I just drilled it right back in that hole. It's going to fall again, for sure. But then Gawin gets to live out all of his dreams, right? Like, it'll be on a little mini bike. They'll have a new flying flea. Like, you know, Gavon will be out there, a small engine shop again, adjusting carburetors and everything else.

Yeah. Yeah. Now, Gobin going to be a cool granddad, man. What are you talking about? Yeah, he's going to be, you're going to be a fun one, man. And then their mama makes him oatmeal cream pie. Like, I mean, come on now. Like, you don't think his kids ain't going to be loved?

And Paula going to keep that place, Spiless. Paula show up. Paula going to show up out of nowhere right when you need her the most. Look, Johanna moved back in with John and Paula for a hot minute while they're getting settled. I hate to tell them, Paula, about to move in with them. So they better make, they better make Mama a room. Yeah. Because Paula, you ain't getting her away from there because I know how she is with everybody else.

she's floating around ain't even touching the floor. I love it, man. But I do want to give God, Galvin, we've talked to everybody else about this, but, you know, we lost Phil.

And we've asked everybody kind of, that's been on since, like what Phil meant to them. And I would love to give you the floor on that, to give your perspective on it. You know, because you have a unique one, too, with Phil.

being the last employee that he actually hired for Duck Commander. God was the last person that Willie did not hire that was still here and is still here. He's retired from us now, but he's still very much a part of the Duck Commander family. So if you got anything you want to share, you're welcome to. We'd love to hear it. And I know our fans would too. He changed my heritage, I guess, and my family's heritage, which I guess he did a lot of people's. but just watching him how he treated Ms. Kay taught me a lot about how to be a husband,

even though he stern. He was stern, but honest. He was, I don't know what the word you'd say. He was, you know, he was just. He was hard in one way then, but push over in another. He was like that, but he taught me a lot. Talked me a lot. A great example of a man of how to be a man, how to treat people.

Well, see, Jesus taught him that. Yeah. Okay. Because I always loved it when he asked Bill Smith one day, Bill. And he was just a baby in Christ at the time. He said, hey, it's been about two years. When am I going to have to stop fighting all these demons I've got? Bill said, well, sir, how long did you run with them?

Yeah. You know? Yeah, that's exactly right. It's a crying out loud. You run with him. 28 years, okay. Hey, you know, you got to, this is a, this is not a sprint. This is a marathon, okay?

You got to look way down the road and, hey, take this and throw it away and then replace it with something God gave you. So, yeah, it's a, yeah, it's one of them. Yeah. She told me that something similar to it. Yeah, he meant a lot. He meant a lot in his own way. Yeah, it's cool. You know, we think we're ready, but, you know,

we're still sad that he's gone, not with us. Well, we're going to miss him, but the best part of this is, okay, he's where there's no sorrow, no tears, no bad stuff. Living his best life, right now. Right now, he's surrounded by people that love him the most. that'd be the father, son, Holy Spirit. Okay, and then like all of my family's up there. Yeah.

Okay. So, yeah. You know, I'm sad for me. Yeah. Okay. But I'm not sad for him. No. He's done across the finish line, and guess who greeted him?

Yeah. The Trinity. That's pretty wild. Yeah. I couldn't help me chuckle when we got to. that beaver. I said, I know he's chuckling. Oh, yeah. He's laughing.

He's like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, boy. You're doing it all wrong. Let me show. That man, his short stay on earth, he moved literally tons of mud, sticks, and leaves, okay? And cotton mouth. And cotton mouth. Okay.

Because I looked at, the first time I went with him, I just could be, I said, well, wait a minute, how many beverages is this? He said, I'll one, maybe two. Yeah. And I said, wait a minute, we just did this yesterday. We just dug this out like six foot deep, eight foot wide. Oh, yeah. And I said, and hey, we're back the next morning, and it's like they've never was here.

Yeah. You know how the man knew he had a problem with him? I remember this thinking of this when I showed up down there, first time to help on a beaver day. I looked at his potato rake and the handle, which on most of them, wood, his was square tubing. I said, this man got tired of breaking handle. Oh, no, no, no, no.

He went ahead and welded him. Oh, I welded. I welded. I welded. He brought it to me. He said, what can you do with this? And I said, oh, I can fix it where he won't break it. Yeah.

That's one of them things. Yeah. But that's one of them things. Everybody, you know, you get to thinking about like, oh, I'd love to have his this. I'd love to have his. Man, if I get my hands on that potato rake, like, I'll take that thing to eternity with me.

tube. That thing. That's how you know a man fights beavers a lot. If he's got a square tube and handled potato egg to bust out beaver down, he spent some time with that thing in his hands. Ty Robertson built and made,

baby. Well, that's back when steel was steel, too. When you welded, it actually stuck. It ain't like this cap we got today. And I made, you know, because I'd watch him break to him in. Oh, yeah. And he said, hey, can you fix it?

I said, oh, I'll fix it. Yeah. So I double-beated that sucker. Yeah. go all the way around all the way i'm talking about i said i said if you break that you've done i can't i can't fix i can't help you if you break that one buddy i can't help you he had duct tape on the top of it for a handle like i mean it was oh no i've literally watched him okay move tons yeah yeah i'm not that's not exaggeration break him snakes out around his ain't hey look he's

very footy hey half the time he was just take it with a rake and sling it out in the stupid pond. Yeah. They do. We didn't have, you know, but then he got, you know, come to his senses and started taking that 22 rifle with all the four since it, stingers. No, he didn't come to his senses.

He finally made enough money to afford the bullets. Well, I'm just saying. Because after that, hey, he shot, you know, if he saw a beaver, he killed him. If he saw a cotton mouse, he killed him. And you still couldn't get rid of them all. And you couldn't get rid of them all. Oh, the first year there, I guarantee you he killed probably 1,500.

1500? 500. Cottonmouth. Cottonmouth. They was able to, that is a word. Well, they was digging, oh, digging, it was a track hole and fixing the road.

Yeah. They, that left potholes. And every pothole had seven or eight, 10 cotton mouse in it. Oh, it did. No. But you to them all.

Yeah. And not the cotton mouse that everybody says they got cotton mouse. No, these legit cotton mouse. Yeah, they are. These weren't water snakes that people call cotton. Yeah. These were legitimate. That place is an anomaly.

They look so close, though. They do. The only thing different is that head is not square. Yeah. He got that triangle. Yeah. But he looks just like a cotton mouth, you know, and gets big, too. And when they open that mouth, you're like, oh, yeah.

You're about to catch a bullet right too. Oh, no, they get shot too. Yeah. They do, but. Yeah, but I mean, I know they're not caught mouth, but hey, so he gets shot anyway. Yeah. So I said, nope, nope. That is equal opportunity for all the states to die.

Well, it ain't nothing worse to go to a brim bed, okay, to catch you a bunch of brimbed. And you got to fight the snakes off to get the brim to back. You can't put them on a stinking stringer. No. This, what is this podcast? Yeah. It is amazing. What?

We started with Brim. Yeah. Then we went to Beaver's. Yep. Then we went to poop. Then we went to twins. Then we went to puke. And then babies.

And then now Godwin's having grandkids. And then our good friend has gone to be with the Lord. And size brother. And then somehow it went back to Beaver's then Chinky Pits. That's right. I'm just saying. Our chicken pans is policy. How did we do that?

Life is just a circle, man. We just show you what life is, right? We just run. History repeats itself. We run around in a circle, chasing our tail. What a circle. We ain't no different that stray dog out there by the dumpster. You look up, we're going to be chasing our tail too, man.

When you got on something good, you got to come back to, you know, furrow circle. Well, I think when you break it down. The circle will never be broken, boys. In the by and by. But I think, you know, when you break it down, the reason is like that's because we're pretty simple people. Yeah. Who me?

We're not, we're not overly complicated individuals. That's because we're dudes. That's because. Yeah. And we don't really fake anything. And so if you're being honest, if you gave me a pizza and yeah, that's pretty much all I need for the rest of the day. It's going to be a pretty good day.

Yeah. I can dig that. And we still, which we, I got gobbing on here because I wanted. to talk and we'll close with this uh i wanted to also talk about uh duck dynasty the revival just aired and we had a fun one had a fun one uh where i'm pretty sure our well now i know but i was pretty sure then that our good buddy was in on a gag i had no idea i was that uh the side remember sitting around that campfire we saw bigfoot remember yeah yeah there he is there's big foot there's big foot There's Bigfoot right there.

Because I know you haven't watched this show. That's been revealed. Yeah. John was Bigfoot? He was Bigfoot. Our shirtless Black Panther moonlighted as Bigfoot. Well, I told Chase that day, I said, hey, you made an era in choosing Johnny Gowan as a Black Panther.

Wow. Wow, he looks just like one. Yeah. He looks as real as the ones you look like. Hey, calm down. They are real. Hey, what was so funny about that, though, is they had to pick the one spot over there on that property. Yeah.

That had Dewberry vines. Oh, I'll never forget it. I know God will never forget it. John had shorts on and, hey. Antopoulos. Yeah. And look, and Paula picked Debray stickers out of John's legs and knees all night long that day. Well, sometimes, you know, I know their relationship.

They got another thing. Sometimes their relationship, I may have been on intention. Yeah, that's not about it. That might have been about to say. Yeah. Gava may have pulled an audible and said, you know, if I call through them. There ain't no game, baby. But I did.

That was funny to see that our shirtless Black Panther ended up being Bigfoot. That was good stuff. But because God, I mean. That goes back to the evolutionary. That's what happened. What's that? He went from a black panther. That's a big foot.

It's a bigfoot. Evolved. I would have thought Bigfoot came first in that tree. Well, hey, whatever. But I don't even know. Nice versa. Who knows, man. But Duck Dynasty, the revival, if you haven't checked it out yet,

check it out, man. We're having fun. We're doing some old things on there. So we got some of the old band back together. There's new band in there. There's just kind of everybody, really. You never know. Yeah.

We're still, well, I guess you call it. We still make it. We still making music. We made some music. Oh, man. What a life. What a day, man. It's been a fun one.

Godwin, thank you for coming by, man. Thank you for taking some time off of the lake. John and Godwin. Again, we'll give it to you again if you're interested to help support our good. But now he's got twin grandkids to support.

So book two trips with him, goblin guides.com. Right. And we are requesting the fans. Hey, send something up there about for these babies. Oh, we're going to do more. I'm going to do you one better than that. We're going to do more than request it.

So why don't you say, instead of a Bible verse, why don't you say a prayer over Johanna and Cecilio for all of us? Then that way, we can, we can maybe inspire somebody in their prayers. I'm going to take my hat off. Go ahead, friend. All, boy, y'all bow with me. Father, we bring Johanna and her husband up to you, and especially Father, the young,

that are in the womb, we ask you to divine intervention and protect them, Father, bring them to full term, let her have a easy delivery, and then we can watch Johnny Gowen become the grandfather that he's always wanted to be. I didn't get to know mine, Father, and it's always been a store spot with me. But we do lift up this young couple, and the two babies in the womb. we ask your touch be upon all of us protect us from the evil one but especially for these two young kids in the womb father please bring them to full term and let them have a normal delivery and then john and paula and we can all love them and help them bring them up and we ask this to your son and our saviour jesus christ the creator of the cosmos amen thank you all right

We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
