We'll talk about it here in a second. Oh, I thought we were rolling. Oh. Well, we're missing Hunter. So we don't know. It's just a weird day. Hunter took the day off to go on his date. We're anxiously awaiting updates.

He ended up taking two days off. It's got to be a good date for two days. Si woke up with the case of the Mondays. It was. It's a Monday that's a Tuesday, but it's a Tuesday that's, I don't know. I'm confused. I don't even know what day it is. And Godwin.

This is retirement Godwin. He used to be second. Everywhere we went, only behind Sye. He was early for everything. And now he's last. He's always late. If he shows up. Where is Godwin?

He's late or don't even show up. He is retired Godwin is a proven flight risk now. There's a point where he just doesn't show up anymore. Right now he's still trying to get here, allegedly. Yeah. Well, he's been in communication letting me know he was coming. What happened? He broke down on Darbonne and said he spun his prop.

He said, I hit something the other day. but I didn't think it did nothing. Gobblegads.com. Come to find out, it did do something. Yeah, if you wanted like a long, lonely cruise on Darbon, it would have been the day. It was God,

he said, I'm idling somewhere 26 and 7 miles an hour. And he was halfway up the lake. He put in at the very south end of the lake, and he was about halfway down the lake when I thought to him. So he should be here. He put it at the spillway or he put in it? Put in at the spillway. Okay.

And he was at Terrell. when I talked to him, which is about the halfway point of the lake. We'll see, gobbled in a little bit. Fresh off the lake full of frustration. I said, well, Galvin, that's a problem. I said, this is the only day we've had a south wind in two weeks, and you're going right into it. Right again.

I said, any other time, you'd have had a north wind pushing you for the last two weeks, but not today. So, yeah, there's... Retirement, Godwin. That's Godwin for you. I told him, I said, you know, I've noticed one thing about them boats. them the more stuff breaks. So, yeah, he's figuring that out, you know.

He's in his life. Sal, what's your problem? Why you got a Monday? Why did you do? Why? How? Who knows? When you're your age.

He decided it was a bad day when he woke up. Oh. I'm not saying when you're your age as successful as you've been, what determines a bad day. That's what, you just want. Maybe it's a bad mood. Oh, we're like, you know, instead of a bad day. You need to watch Bluey.

There's a whole episode about that. It's got a bad mood. It's called Bad Mood Bingo. Bingo's always bad. I'd love to see Si watching Bluey. He'd actually really enjoy it. It's not just for kids. It sounds like an Instagram real collection.

Uncle Si reacts to Bluey. He just watches all. I think of any Robertson that might tear up to a cartoon, Si watching Bluey might be the one. Oh, I know that. Yeah, he's the only one with a heart. I didn't say that, but I meant it. Well, that's a pretty good conference.

I like that. That's pretty good compliment. Oh, that's just truth. Oh, so you just, you just, bad mood, bad day, poker didn't go your way? No, well, yeah, no, definitely on that. Oh, okay. So I had a toughie. I had a calling station and he hit everything he was calling.

Was his name, Jason? No. Oh. No, it's Smoky. Smoke. God, I love y'all's nickname. Hold on, yeah. Oh, Smoky.

I have people, I always tell, you know, you played somebody who's come up in a meeting and said, yeah, you play with one of my kinfolk. And I said, what's your name? He's Jeff something. I said, I don't know him. Yeah. He said, well, you don't know him. That's it, but his nickname is Bull. I said, okay.

There you go. Yeah, boy. That one. How do you get the nickname Smokey? Yeah. He smoked cigarettes. Oh. So he took your old one.

Pretty easy nickname there. Boy, y'all are really the creative bunch, huh? We got smoky, drinky, squeaky, shaky, sleepy, bashful and doc. Fartman. There was one called Fartman for a while, right? Yeah. I don't know if he still plays with him. A gross individual, too.

Yeah. You don't say. Yeah, I'm serious. He was a gross individual period. His nickname was Fartman. Yeah. I got hung with that one. Well, anyway, I think I know why you're probably in a bad mood.

You saw the news of what happened on Friday with the New York Yankees General Manager, huh? No, I didn't. You haven't? What a stupid boy? What happened with the Yankees? Well, I guess they're still sour. You know, they got thrashed in the World Series, so they're trying to change some things. You got that.

I'm ready. I just don't like it. Yeah, drag it over there so I can read it. Hold on. If you know, he's going to. So the first thing is they got rid of the beard policy. Yeah. I didn't know you couldn't have a, well, I didn't know.

You couldn't have a beard and be a Yankee. Oh, yeah, 100%. But then the guy that made the rule, God, baseball websites, there's just stuff everywhere. But look at our branding up there. Yeah, so basically the New York Yankees can have a beard as long as they don't look like us. Does anybody remember like when James Hardin was? going dummy in the NBA there for a little while. He had a beard.

A biggin. Very unkempt beard. Like, there are periods of greatness that include facial hair. Oh, hey. Abraham Lincoln. Always. Thank you. There you go.

Thank you. He was the greatest beard. That's not only that, boy. Honest say, honestly goes with the beard. Thank you. See? Right. So, and he was a Yankee.

Hey. Was he? There you go. Well, I mean, they were Yankees and rebels back in. What's that you think he was on? Like, I mean, he was on the winning side, and the rebels didn't win. The rebels did not win. Like, I'm just saying, so he was a Yankee.

But what's he even had a top hat? That's it. And look good in it. Top hats and beards go together. So. I will say. I'm trying to find that certain Instagram. What was that, MLB on Fox?

Yeah. You got to be a weirdo to follow that. That thing right there is zombie apocalypse. He's, he, he, he, you can't get the computer too close to him. No, he'll read it over your shoulder. His eyes actually are really good. Boy, these people post too much to find it. There we go.

Yeah. Mr. Cashman. But anyway, we're not trying to look like Duck Dynasty. No diss against, if you start something with no dis, no dis to your bald head, Cashman. Yeah. But you look stupid. That's right there with saying.

No dis though. That's right there when you start something with all due respect. You're throwing respect out the window right there. I mean. You're grinding. in the woods all the time, you really don't have another option. I mean, thanks for grinding in the woods all the time. Hey, I just want to know what he's going to say now that the show's coming back out and they

have Duck Dynasty Night at Yankee Stadium. That's going to be the best thing ever. Like when A&E pays to have Duck Dynasty Night at Yankee Stadium just because of this, because it's going to release again during baseball season, and we're probably going to have to go to New York City for that. at some point. Put Willie out there throwing the first head.

Mr. Cashman, if you don't put us in a box, there will be riots. That's that. They were, New York City were riot on you. I'm about to go out there and get Aaron Judge

to just choke you. And then there's some people like posting gifts. Oh, wait, that was me. Oh, that was us. That was us. I posted that flip-flops, yeah. The boo from Jay Martin Dupman

got the most action. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just against this guy. I love it. I don't like him. Look at him. And like, somebody get that man in touch where AG won. Oh, I don't know.

And neutrophole. I know why he's against hair. Yeah, because he ain't got none. He ain't got none. It's called envy. Look it up. Yeah. Jealousy.

That's that. There was one comment I wish I could find about how this beards are ruining baseball. And I was like, you're the reason nobody watches baseball anymore. They're a big guy. I mean, I just don't understand the argument. against a beard and baseball. Are they trying to keep them rolling like Jason Worth did that time?

You know what happened on him? On the World Series. All-Star Games, World Series. That's why this is still the greatest nation on Earth, boys. Unless you're that guy. He's doing all right. I mean, he's doing all right.

He probably agrees because he's making money hand over fist and spending somebody else's money like it's his own. Oh, man, that sounds like. But the fact that he just took a shot at us. Well, he said no diss. No, that's a dis.

Have I told the story about Carter? No. In the town of Ravel? He hit it with an Odys? Oh my gosh. To the town of Ravel? I've never been more embarrassed in my life. We go to play basketball.

Yeah. In Ravel at, what's that school? Riverfield. Okay. So you got to go through Ravel. Yeah. Ravel's had some building seen better days. There's no doubt.

Yeah, Ravel's old, man. And the movie theater looked rough. Yeah, yeah. Nobody going, no, no run down. Popcorn ain't been popped in a minute. No offense to Ravel. I do have a Johnny's pizza, though. Rayville ain't that.

I know people from Ravel, good people. Yeah. Carter walks up to this man. First guy he sees at the gym. Uh-oh. And goes, hey, man, no offense. But this town looks haunted and is a dump. And I was like, what?

I snatched that sucker up. I said, what did you just say to that man? He goes, dad, I said. No offense. Yep. That's right there with all due respect. No this. Yeah.

And I was like, all right. Whatever follows those statements are the exact opposite of what you just asked permission for. Yeah. So Brian Cashman, an 11-year-old card, or he's 10? Well, hey, did he speak the truth? Yeah, he wasn't wrong. I mean, there you go. I mean.

Sometimes the truth is rude. That's right. The truth is harsh and rude, boys. 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 ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robinson would say buy on the grill look before we got tritels getting ready for a cookout man somebody had to run the grocery store do all the things grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day and you never really know where that beef come to them but with tritels beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way tritels 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 Tritails Beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain'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. Hey, I found number two, by the way. Number two, what? The guy that might listen to us more than anybody but Andrew, he walked in the honeyhole this morning.

Oh, no. Little guy. Where's he from? Hold on. I'll tell you. His little guy walks in and says, hey man, love the podcast.

I was, oh, what's up, brother? And he's small, has a mustache, clearly works outside by his garb and his big F-250, skinny.

And I reach my hand out. I said, hey, man, my name's John David. I go to shake his hand. He's like, my name's Chris. And immediately I was in pain.

I said, why is he squeezing so hard? You win. Like, you're the alpha. I get it. I didn't see it coming. Let go. But you win.

You're going to break my hand. And he's like, man, I listened to y'all more than anybody but that one guy in Ireland. I said, really? He goes, I left South Carolina last night and I have to be in California tomorrow. And I was like, you're driving? What?

I was like, I'm out. But he was a turbine operator. Also used to be a bull rider or rodeo guy. So the hand grips checks out. But I said, well, where are you from, Chris? Chris says, you know where Canton, Texas is? I was like, oh, I know where the Dairy Palace is. He goes, my picture's actually up in the Dairy Palace.

What do he went? You do listen to the Dunk. If you got a picture up in the Dairy Palace in Canton, Texas, that's our demographic. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few that go into Dairy Palace and order to Spam Burger. Oh, that's a Spam. I'm judging you now. You can get fried spam on a sandwich up in the Dairy Palace. Dairy Palace is magical.

It's like a Buckees. I guess it's still there, huh? I mean, I ain't been to Camp. I ain't been past Tyler in a hot minute. And every time I get into Texas now, I turn and go south, it seems like. I don't ever get to stay on 20 and keep on trucking. I need to go to Dairy Palace. Yeah.

Your wife will probably go. Trade days. That antique time's coming up, right? Like Highway 80 trade days or whatever it is. Calm down on the money spending. Play markets all. Calm down on that. But I just want to go have a hamburger.

It did go to Buckees and then go to like a water slide. I spend the money every stop of the way. I don't know. That's a good point. I just don't want furniture. You don't want somebody else's furniture, is what you mean. Ding, ding, ding. Oh, man.

Sa, have you ever been to the Dairy Palace? No. Look at this photograph. Size's never been? We got to take you. I've stopped every time we had Kaye in there. What is the Dairy Palace? They got a Bluebell ice cream bar and greasy hamburgers.

And my man, Chris's photograph is up in there, which makes them cooler than me. I've stopped in there at least 10 times with Kay Roberts. And where's this is that? Canton, Texas. Canton, Texas. Yeah, right off to Interstate. Right, where Chris is from. Yeah.

Yeah, but where's, where's Canton? A little over, a little over halfway to Dallas from here. Yeah, I make sense. Okay. Yeah. But when he said that, I was like, there's, there's a few telltale signs that you- Rezie hamburgers and ice cream. Uh-huh.

That's a good company. Don't that sound like Ms. Kay? Hey, that sounds like good. Yeah. That sounds like somebody I like. Yeah. I've, I've eaten there a lot. A lot.

It used to be the jam in high school when youth group would go to six flags. Yeah. Small town kids head over to Dallas for the weekend. And on the way back, we get to stop at Derry Palace. Oh, you know, it was fun. I got to do a deal at the end of March and in Dallas for Academy. You want to go? It's kind of tight.

I get to introduce Nick Sabin. Hey, what do you get to do? It's this deal. Sabin's the keynote speaker and I get to introduce him for Academy. You get to open up for Nick Sabin? Uh-huh. he better not be rude to me either because i get to mic first he better not be rude you better coach you better say go tigers if you're listening to this okay you were there for a while

since he's definitely not listening to this how much how much money do i have to give you to thank him for giving us drew breeze oh boy i don't care do it i'll say whatever i can to coach no no from the microphones if he'll say he's our favorite coach ever because He was LSU for a while and then he messed up and gave us Drew Brees. Yeah. If he'll say go Tigers, I'll say roll tide. That's the deal I'm going to make with him. Right there.

There's some deals I can't do. I don't care. It's Nick Saban, man. I mean, he beat the socks off of us. Hey, should I wear my U.S. L.L.M. shirt? Tide rolled, baby. What up, babe?

I got my Tide rolled shirt. Go Warhawks. Yeah, when you at LM went into Tuscaloosa and dropped that L on y'all, boys. That was amazing. What year was that? His first year there. 2007. Oh, hey, producer Josh, fill it in for Editor Hunter.

For Hunter on a date. Hunter's on a date. Man, how do you think it's going? I hope well. I do too. But, I mean, it's got to be going better than I thought because he didn't come into work on his off day. I was afraid Hunter was going to show up anyways. Yeah, that didn't work out.

I just came to work instead. You know, just docked me for a half day, please. Yeah, I need to be here to make my mind off things. But now you can slide over with me if you want to. I might. It just depends on the day. I should be able to get you a little FaceTime with coach if you want to. I just want to thank him for giving us Drew Brice.

ULM 21, Alabama 14, baby. We got them. That's hard to believe Alabama was six and five. It's hard to believe that that was in 2007. That was his first year at Alabama. Yeah, it was year one. It doesn't matter. Hey, whoa, easy with the particulars there, man.

That's why we like Hunter. he would have no clue what we're talking about right now. Yeah. Hold on. While we have big hair in the building. Uh-oh. Can you put a Hunter cam in? Because Hunter's not going to do it.

Oh, yeah. Hunter's too embarrassed. We need to... I've been planning on it. Wow, that's been kind of weird. I mean, I can't put a secret camera. He has to edit the episode. I was about saying if we had a camera recording Hunter that he didn't know about, that'd be weird.

I'm going to go in like after he edits it. Yeah, after he edits, you want me to go in and like re-ad the stuff of Hunter? Just put the little clips there. Just random places. It doesn't really matter. Actually, could you just start putting photographs of Hunter just randomly on YouTube? Just go steal him from his Facebook. And be sure you tag him too.

He loves when he gets new followers on Instagram. Hey, he's been bragging about that. Oh. And the truth about Hunter is coming out. He likes it. Oh, gosh, that mighty. Anyways. All right, if you want to go follow Hunter, it is.

Hunter Nick Nerd. Oh, we give Hunter all the shoutouts we can. It's hard to believe we're still. almost 20 minutes into this and Gobblins still ain't here. That's not hard to believe. The difference is Gobwin said he would hang around. When I retired, you most definitely won't see me again. It's a good point.

Like, I'm not one of those one foot in, one foot out kind of guy. Like, let's just roll, baby. He gone gone gone. Sae retired, he's a one foot in, one foot out guy. No, he got both feet still in. So, Sai got expensive hobbies. So, don't let him fool you. It's a fakes retirement, Martin's everything.

ever seen. The only thing side don't do is make reads. He said, I love everything about this job, but the actual job. So I'm still going to hang around. Y'all still pay me. Yeah, I like that. And we were like, you know what? As Chief Moral Officer, you got it, buddy.

CMO, Chief Moral Officer. And he's not like Jase who has to come up here on his day off. Oh, God. Oh, that boy got blasted on that. Whoever put that up on Instagram, you are braver than me. Yeah. And it's nice to know that we'll never get Jason Willie back for an episode, though. I don't know Willie didn't catch no strays

Jace took all the stray bullet No but you missed it We just saw Willie a minute ago Yeah And we were like hey you want to be in this Y'all sweet tea commercial with us He's like how much is it pay since that's how Si operates so

Willie's going to require us to pay him to come on this podcast from now on He's out Spoiler alert Willie gets half the money anyway That's what I told him I said Hey I'm the one that keeps his business going He did drop that It was the cockiest thing I've ever heard Size say in my life

He goes, hey, newsflash, buddy. And I was like, and then I just slid over behind him and said, I'm with this guy. The truth doesn't have to be nice. It can be rude. The truth is harsh. The truth, you don't have, you should always be kind. Oh, boy. But sometimes if somebody says something rude, it might be true.

Yeah. That's what we've learned today. What if Goblin gets a flat tire? Well, you know the good news? I know he knows how to change him. That's the good news. Gobbin ain't one of them. He's probably got a tire plug kit and a compressor in his truck.

So he would be okay. But I know he's not going to be in a hurry. I've noticed Goblin's getting less and less in a hurry. Yeah. When he never started, he's one to really be in a panic anyway. Goblin is coming here, sat down. We're like, all right, y'all ready? And then we've been sitting here for 10 minutes and he'll go,

I need some coffee. Yeah, but that's one of my pet peeves. What's that? Don't hurry me. Oh, don't, yeah. Be quick, don't hurry. Hey, that's just, you know, me and my people in charge when I was in the military, I always had a bad, bad issues with that.

Did you? Oh, yeah. No. Is that why you just decided you'd get everywhere 30 minutes early so you'd have to hurry? Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't never get in a rush. If you get me in a rush, you think we all going to have a bad day. The last time side got in a hurry, he fell out of a boat. That's it.

So, Chris, it always, it always, pain is involved in hurrying. Chris from the day, Pallas said, yeah, house size ribs. I was like, they're back. We're good. Oh, no, no, no, look, because I had to go to the doctor like twice. you know because the first one didn't they didn't give me the correct shot yeah wasn't enough it didn't get rid of the paint so i went back like the next day and i said hey whatever y'all gave me yes double it wasn't no good yeah trash i said hey you need to get the good stuff okay and

get this pain away and he said well we'll do better than that we'll give you that and then we'll give you like 30 pills pain tablets okay to take home to take home with you so hey i emptied the bottle there's a crisis one one day at a time i would take that pain tablet okay because hey no my tolerance of pain as long as you follow instructions dip stay off the ovan show so no anyways just say but hey hurry always causes trouble. I've never really been in a hurry. Yeah, if you rush, you always do something wrong.

There he is. God was in the house, everybody. Look who's here, y'all. In a great-looking shirt, too. Hey, did you have a flat on the way back? Gobwin, we just decide we go ahead and kick it off. Welcome, friend. You can take a minute and collect your breath.

The good news, Godwin, is everybody here seems to be having a case of the Mondays. You're a pretty good fisherman and you actually look real good, Gawainte. I guarantee you. I'm a bigger of a man. Yeah. You got a good look about you. Just to ask me, I'll tell you.

Yeah. Godwin said, is it Monday? Boy, that's another thing about retirement. You don't even care about what day of the week is. I don't do nothing. I don't start that till noon. So what happened? I think I spun a hub.

in my brother. Did it fall off? No. That's good. No, it's just on the innards of it. Yeah, it's a I could idle, but I couldn't. So you strip something.

And you go fast. Yeah, you strip something. Not today. Not today, boys. I did it up to the time I was coming home. That's how it always happens to read. It's amazing. It was going to be perfect.

I left at 2 o'clock. hit the channel at 2 o'clock. I took off got it right to Highway 33 bridge. I said, I hit something. I was looking around with no log back there. I said, I hit a big gar or something. What it felt like. So then I took off again, oh, it started spinning.

I said, on a hub. He doesn't spun it, boys. I ain't done that in a while. They do it every time you go to get up. Did you ever try like a slow get up? Yeah. That's a... Seven mile an hour, top speed.

Highway 33 to the spillway. That's a long ride, buddy. Coyack boys were just passing that. 30 houses I ain't never noticed on the lake. Long ride, he said, boys. And stinking fish, too. That's about an hour. I mean, that's probably seven mile from there to the end.

I bet that's one hour, yeah. Well, probably longer than that because you don't go There ain't no part of that channel straight from there to there. Why do boats break so much? I ain't not being pretty lucky. Water. Well, I would say that we're a little harder on our boats than say we are on other equipment. Are you just talking about the general population?

Yes. Why everybody so mean to they boat? And I think probably the real truth is about 60% of the people that have them, ain't got no business having them. oh like i'm just being serious like at this point now eventually i know well my parents turned me loose with a boat and motor i ain't have no business i mean i's 16 years old they said good luck oh like you know i now i had run a boat but it was always tiller steer i'd never run a console oh these all kind of tiller steer you don't really get in a bind because you hold and everything

like everything going on right there you but you get in that console man you you want to go fast like You get a hot foot up under you. I used to grab back when I was bass fishing, I was younger, because all them croppy fishing in the middle of the channel. Yep. But look, there's guys now come through there. They're going slow, but they got the trim up, just walking away. And there's older fellas out there.

Yeah, boat etiquette is a thing of the pack. I mean, they'll knock them plumb out of the boat. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I would rather you go buy me. wide open 5,000 miles. Frimmed up.

Yeah, yeah. Because you ain't making much way when that much total. Two seconds, it's over. If you go in 10 miles an hour with the trim all the way up, you just pushing a tidal wave. Yeah, you're like a bulldozer. I literally heard the conversation on Thursday between a guy named George and my dad. Yeah.

They go, these young guys try and slow down just end up tidal waving you. Yeah, just run. Just stay on pat. Come by me wide open on pad. Yeah, please. 60 miles an hour. I got two wakes that'll hit me real little. And it's over.

It's gone. Yeah. But you come by me 10 miles an hour trimmed all the way up. I'm going to give you a look. I'm going to say nothing to you. And when you see that look, you know, what am I doing? That's what they think. What's wrong?

I'm going slow. Boat etiquette 101. Look behind you and you'll see what's going up. Yeah. No, they don't care. The wake. They just plow. Yeah, they don't care.

They throw a old fart out of the boat. Still getting around croppy fishing. Yeah. Or somebody got his kid in there with him. Or somebody like me standing up stretching. Well, you fall out of the boat when there ain't no waves. Yeah, that's good point. I do swim a lot.

They do. Not intentionally. How do you fall in? Once a week. At least once a year. I fall out of the boat. Yeah. Well, look.

He's great at it. Here's a deal. I don't figure out. there's way less peril in the water than there is in that boat. So if you get a little off balance, rather than tear everything up you got in that boat, hits the water and then get back in the boat. Hit the lake. You don't want to hit it right now.

No, it would be too cold right now. It's 45 degrees. Oh, yeah. 45? You get hypothermia now if you get it. And then fish know it. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to get into water right now.

But during the summer, like, yeah, I've ended up in the water. You just bail in. Yeah. Rather than tear up everything in my boat, yeah. A lot easier to get out of the boat. They're standing on the back and somebody just takes off all of a sudden. I did that too. That wasn't his fault, though.

No, that's a bad one there. That one got me. And then they just drove off into the sunset. And I was going, hey, hey, hey, hey, Martin's back there. Who was driving? Some old boys. We've got to go back in him. Some old boys at a deal we were speaking at, I just looked at them driving off and I said, well, this is where I'd die.

I said, ain't no way I can tread water until somebody found. behind me. How, how, where were you? Minnesota. Oh, no. In a place called Green Lake, Minnesota. How big is Green Lake? Buddy big, from what I could tell.

It gets way bigger when the boat you were in is driving away from it. Yeah. And like the water was like seven foot deep. Martin said, I wouldn't mind it if y'all sped up a little bit. This water's cold. Yeah. Yeah, I said, can y'all hurry? Please.

Like, they come back around. Don't worry about that hat. Just get me. Yeah. They said, well, your stuff's over here. I said, I don't care. Get me in that boat, man. I ain't worried about the stuff.

I've been treading water now for what seemed like an eternity. Really wasn't about five minutes. But for a man, my size, that's a long time tread water. A couple times I went down to the bottom and kicked off to come back up. My legs got tired. But it's about seven foot deep. And I'm about six, six, you know. So, like, I'd go under for a little bit and come back up.

I don't float. Like, Godwin floats. I don't float. Yeah. But even in saltwater, I think. So I don't know. Something about Gobwin's chemistry and whatever he's doing there, he floats in water. But I do not.

I'm like a fish. Well, they tell me that you're relaxed, but I'm like you. Is that what it is? I'm just panic. All right. Now, I do have a... I'm like you because I think, too. I can't float.

I do have a certain fear of drowning. That ain't the way I want to go. If I'm in any way in control of that, that ain't it. Like, I don't want to go that way. That's me and fire. Yeah. That's another one. Fire and ice.

I'm out on them too. Yeah, I'm out on that. I mean, really, there's only a couple ways you want to go. Yeah, preferably in my sleep. Yeah.

Or hooked up. I mean, as long as we're like, hey, I don't want to drown. I don't want to catch on fire. I don't want to fall from something really tall and have a lot of time to think about it.

No, that'd be a toughy too. What you got? I said, did that exacerbate your fear whenever you? It's amazing. Like, I was like,

I kind of actually just come to piece. I said, well, this is where it's all going in. because they were still on pad going other way. You couldn't swim to the edge? Buddy. No.

You got Google. Google Green Lake Minnesota. See, I did. And that's why I don't think it's the right Green Lake. There's 10,000 lakes. That's why. Clearly they're running out of names. What's this one?

Green. That's why when somebody tells you when you get in the boat, put that life was over on. Amen to that. Put that stupid life was over on. Well, we were in a pontoon boat fishing, right? On a pond. That lady's got great hair.

I didn't see. Not outside the gate. I never saw any issues of needing a life jacket in a pontoon boat. Well, I didn't know when he said we're about to leave that he meant throttle down. Yeah. Is that green lake? Yeah, that's it. It's only a mile.

Huh? You can swim a mile. No, I can't. I don't know how far you take a mile is, buddy. I mean, it ain't going to be easy, fully dressed, but like. When you get done. Life depends on it. believe in you.

Buddy, when you get dumped into 60 degree water. Oh, it was cold. It's Minnesota. My bad. Buddy. Oh, so you went. Oh, I drank a good. I was not going to die dehydration.

Now, there was a small chance I'd have Bonasuma's revenge or Giordia or whatever that was. It's too cold up there for that. That's, that's in Mexico water. Yeah, we's out in the middle of that pond, buddy. There wasn't nothing. They wouldn't nothing. I think you would have made it. And if there ain't nothing to still ground.

If you had to. I believe in you. I'm certain I wouldn't have. So, I mean, but I love your belief in it. I believe in you. Thank you for the positivity. But no, I was like, that's a lonely feeling when the rig you were in is just leaving. Like, I mean, that's a lonely feeling.

And nobody even said by. Yeah. Nobody even said. And then I saw, I saw him get down off pad and I said, somebody realized I wouldn't there anymore. Now will they find me? Like, I ain't have nothing. Yeah. I can't wave.

I don't got too tired. I was just, hey. How long were you in there? I'll tell you, it felt like an attorney, probably five minutes by the time they shut down and spun around and got back to it. That's a long time and cold water fully dressed. Oh, yeah. Yeah. With a lower back problem.

That's what my back was. The reason I got thrown out is because I stood up, stretched my back. And I was doing like this when old boy. It's a comedy event. I was doing like this when old boy hit the throttle. I had no control over nothing. I went right. The only thing I did was pushed off the motor so that it didn't cut me when I went by.

That's a good job. Like, I was smart enough to grab the motor and throw myself away from the engines. You'd end it up like that gar under. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Last thing I needed was, that's what I thought I hit. Last thing I needed was an open leg wound to sit there and, you know, like.

I got to get that fixed quick. Yeah, you, now that you do. I didn't call the boat shop. Now did you do it for a wait on me at 7 o'clock. I'll be on the water at 8. Now, you talk about the dream. Yeah. Guy was going to have time to eat his sausage biscuit.

Where are you going tomorrow? Darbone. I love it. He got to go find what he left out there. He got to go find that piece he left wherever it is. Oh, Darbone. But boy, you got the bag. I'm thinking about making me a little sign to stick on my bait.

Bite me. See if that helps. Yeah. Them fish are confused, man. It's cold. You got to go light little trout magnets. The fish are confused as we all. It's like you could just about drink a soda pop by the time it gets down there to them.

Well, you got to have patience to go. Oh, yeah. It's got to come down there and you get it down there and you just dance it over the top of them. He'll come up and eat it. Slam it. But boy, it's our vaguely. That's not. But it's fun because you catch them biggins.

Well, then fish are confused because I don't know if y'all remember this. Two weekends ago it was spring. Yeah. Then it's winter again. we're going to have another fall spring this week, right? Oh, no. No, no, it better not be false. It better be, it's going to be cold again.

What? I can't do this. Between down and the 15th of March, you're going to have another cold stop. Yeah. Cush, my. Trust me, you will have another cold. And I hope it gets down to 50.

Oh, it may go lower than that. I legitimately. I'm serious. It never fails in February and March. that always when you think it's over it comes again and it gets cold I'm finally

legitimately can't do it anymore what it's cold weather I like yeah it sucks well now I'm like I think I'm at the age where I can tell it's cold outside

by how my knees feel or something uh oh it's just the worst you ought to be staring down 40 then hammer I can't you ain't even got to get out of bed no it's cold outside no more

other day I got out of bed and almost fell down because my foot hurt. You get on the water and not have enough clothes on. You won't do that again. It'd be cold out there. You'll be taking stuff off. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, no, the other day I woke up, got out of bed and about fell down because my left foot was just in massive pain. I said, oh, no. What is this? Was it your toe? No, uh. So I was like, it's not to gout. Praise the Lord, because Martin's told me horror stories,

but I, like, couldn't walk, and it was Sunday, so I had to go to church. So I was like, well, I limp, into church, I'm limping. And then when I get down there, I sit down, everybody's standing up singing. I'm like, y'all stand up if y'all want. My foot hurt. Then everybody thought I was sad.

I had more people check. If you don't go to church, nobody checks in on you. If you sit down through the whole church, you're like, you're doing okay. I was like, my foot hurts. Like, I can't stand up very long because my foot's in a lot of pain. I don't know what it is. I think I'm just old. I don't know.

Yeah. Yeah. And then I walked it off after church. And I said, okay, I'm going to get good. good like, hey, you gotta be tough to be old.

Yeah, that's what I'm learning. And then I woke up two days later and it switched feet. That's exactly right. It swapped feet. Yeah, and then my right foot hurt.

That's tough. And the person that come up with this phrase about golden 60 needs to be horsewhips because it ain't nothing golden about to be getting 60. Well, that was 15 years ago.

Yeah, I know. I know. I'm pretty sure your 60s were what we call Duck Dynasty. Yeah. Which seemed pretty golden to me. Yeah.

Oh, boy. I'd argue they were green even. Yeah. Platinum. Miss Christine called them diamond. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

She called them back rent. Well, she called them. Oh, that's... Well, I'm about to get mine. Golly. Yeah, this cold, though. Yeah, once it ain't hunting season, it can be 95 degrees. I don't even care.

Those people, when it's 100 degrees and something, I'd rather be funny, too. Ugh. No. No. No. I want it to be as cold. cold as we can stand while we're hunting. As soon as they take that from it?

Like 68. Yeah. Well, no. It can be 10, man. I don't care because I'm home. Mentally, I'm prepared for that. But, like, that week of fall spring we had when it was 80 degrees every day and everything, like trees started budding and stuff, I was like.

Fish were biting. I don't know about that. I don't either. I assume they were. You couldn't get a spot in our parking lot. And I was like, oh, we're back, baby. It's our busy season, which was cool because it was just a fake out. Yeah. Then they pulled a plug on it.

Yeah. It doesn't have so much humidity. Louisiana would be all right. Yeah. Our cold hurt. And then, yeah. Because it, this is one of them type of colds that goes all the way through.

Or where else you're going to go old, man? Well, it don't get no better anywhere else you go. Yeah, no, I'm saying, yeah, I know what you're saying there.

Yeah. I just, because, you know, I've been places it was six degrees. Uh-uh. I was comfortable. No. Because it was a different.

different climate. Yeah. I guess maybe. Did you see that they just ask all the federal employees just sent an email with what they did in the last week and everybody's upset about that? They just sent out and said, hey, you need to send an email of everything you did in the last week. That's because I can't remember.

And they're like, why? No, they don't do nothing. That's probably a little more wrong way. Hey, this is one of them true things. Hey, they don't do nothing. Johnny D. got asked that one time, then he quit. I kind of been waiting on that email. I was like, you know what?

I'll tell you what I do. Sell worms. Yeah, I sell crickets. Well, I was asked that one time, and then I gave mention, and all hell broke a look. Anytime somebody says, what is your job description that your boss? Get a backup playing quick. And I said, well, hey, what have you seen me to?

He said nothing. lean forward and said, and I said, I'm an expert at it. Yeah. Sounds like you could work for Mr. Cashman. You could go be a Yankee. You could be a New York Yankee with that kind of attitude. Not with that beard.

No, you'd have to get rid of it. Yeah. Oh. Oh, that's right. He said now. That's out for us. I just, I just want you trying to get a picture with him.

Mr. Cashman? No, I'm not. Anybody that has a no beard's policy, I'm a hard out of. Now, I'm not exactly certain, right? And Josh, you weren't around there in these days, but here's what I know to be true. When Duck Dynasty was around the first time,

I threw out a lot of first pitches at organizations affiliated with Major League Baseball. I watched a lot. For Duck Dynasty. We all did. We all. I'm saying I did, so you know, and I'm the lowest on the totem pole,

and I'm cool with that, and I know that. So imagine as you go up the rungs how many first pitches they threw out too. I got a lot of ceremonial baseballs in my closet. I don't know why, I guess. Maybe one day my kids would throw them over the field. You might have thrown out more than Willie, but you were like doing it for the Toledo mud hens

and he was doing it for the Texas range. Yeah, he was doing it for the, I was in the farm system. Yeah. Because, again, levels. Minor League Baseball rules, just like minor league hockey. Yeah, I got a bunch of them from like a southeastern professional baseball league And like, I did.

After you, after you do that a few times, you learned that you've been, you've been watching this all your life. You say, well, that's a little harder than you think. And I, oh, I know me and Godwin just several together. Me and Godwin were big in the minor league sports realm. Minor league baseball, hockey. That's a real demographic. Yeah. I'm not going to lie.

Oh, absolutely. I'm part of that. I'm a season ticket holder. There you go. Sponsor of a minor league hockey team in Louisiana. Yeah. So don't bash that demographic. We also love the dairy house, buckies, and Duck Dynasty.

I have season tickets too, so you can't. That's what I'm talking about. I see Josh all the time. Oh. Josh, you're also part of the demographic. So anybody in the Yankees organization in your farm system hollets you, boy, I'll come do it. Also, Mr. Cashman, fly your private jet with your bald head down here and sit here and explain to sigh why his beard is unmoving. Why beards don't work.

All beards work, worse. Yeah. actually biblical Johnny D, you got any emails in there? Oh, was not ready for that question. Do we have any voicemails? Why not? You can read the clock? No, that's Hunter Department.

I know, I was trying to get ready. I see a bunch of stuff up read. I like the headlines. But if you do want to leave us a voicemail, the number is 3182156559, and we got old-fashioned email to hello at dot call room. Most of our emails are about the Yankees

and they are about one certain thing that I was checking every day for a very long time. And then we had like some special episodes and didn't get to talk about it. Gulf America. Thank you. That's up, baby.

I had a lot of emails about the Gulf of the Google Maps fixing the Gulf of Mexico. I look like you got ice all right. You know, pictures of the ocean from space are weird. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries made it fun. He said that the same regulations apply to the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of America. I saw that.

They made that post. All right. Here's your email of the day. It was actually a voicemail, but apparently they jacked it all up because they were nervous. Who was it, Hunter? Yeah, their name's Hunter. They're from the 7-1-2-9-2.

Just kidding. It's a manual. So, quick question. He wants to know, Si, when you are exploring the cosmos in the next life, can he go with you? I don't know. I don't know if you're going to make it.

I don't even know if I'm going to make it. Yeah. Okay. Well, he said, hey, we'll have to meet somewhere and say, okay, well, we both made it. Let's go. Well, he's also invited a lot of other people to join y'all. Apparently it's his thing. Well, think about that. That would be a hoot. Okay. To go to heaven, okay, get face to face with Jesus. Okay. And say, Lord, I will take about, oh, a year hiater, and go and look at the rest of what you create and you're apparently go, Emmanuel's tagging along. Hey, I think it'll be

a hoot. Who else he invites? What if you done left before he gets there? Huh? What if you done left before he gets there? Before who gets her? Emmanuel. Emmanuel? Yeah, he's saying, well, if you get a head start on it. Well, hey, if I get a head start buddy, hey, I ain't going to wait on you. Leave him some breaks. But I can come back and give you a map.

But I give you, I, I can come back and tell you the stories. Hey, in 30,000 years, he'll swing back by and let you know good places to him. look, it's not like we're going to have all the time in the world. Yeah. So I said a year hiatus, like, time's going to be irrelevant. That's what I'm about saying.

And like, we're going to have a job. You got to think about that. We're outside. I'm outside and inside of the time. I think we'll have jobs. Yeah. Really? Uh-huh. I think we're made to work.

Are you going to be selling fishing bait? It's going to be like the Garden of Eden. Yeah, I think so. To Peter himself. It's going to be awesome. They use nets, hammer. I may, I may come up. You ain't ever heard of catfish cheese.

I'm going to teach him a better one. way. I might come up on a waterway. Gobble going to slide up here. Okay, that nobody has every suit a fish hook in. See? Dang. Pristine.

And hey, and nobody's ever caught a fish out of it. We get to be duck guides and stuff. See, but I think it's like the Garden of Eden. Like, they were working. It was just way easier.

Yeah. And then they screwed up. It was like, you know what? Now it's going to suck. And your gift is life? Yeah. Man, that's kind of cool.

I'm into it. Yeah. Yeah, you eat this and you live forever. You eat that and we're going to start over. Man, that was, oh, rose. Bad call. All right. And then another heaven question, and heaven's been on my mind recently because I want to go there.

So Emmanuel just right in line with it. What's something that you want to do in eternity that you can't do here? Fly. Like me. I'm saying self-propelled flight. Like me. Like, let's go. to set.

Let's go. Friend, I don't know if you know that. I do not think you'll have to flap your arms. Hey, actually go to. I don't think that's doing anything. Again, I'm just saying self-propelled, not like fly on an airplane.

It ain't old backpack. You know, worry about. Yeah. Don't know. Worry about game wardens. Yeah. Oh, no, you like to worry about it.

There ain't nobody. None of them are going to make it to heaven. Hey, I'm just going on what Phil said. I don't know. Well, if they are, they brothers. Hey, anybody to write their grandmother up, give your grandmother a ticket, you know, for killing a squirrel?

Who wrote their grandmother a ticket? Hey, Game wardens. There's probably enough of them that keep tabs on us. Game wardens, listen, can you send us an email of the craziest tickets you ever written?

Yeah, that's actually fantastic. Yeah, that would actually be a good deal. If you're at Game Warden and you want to make it to heaven, send us, and we'll put in a good word for you. Hey, I do have to repent. Okay, because I went to Texas.

Okay. Stop it. Uh-oh. here we go. No, no. She was good looking. Yeah. Way within the statute of limitations.

The officer's name is Drew. Oh, I thought he's talking about that girl. Oh, no. Hold on. And look, he checked me, okay. I see him coming. He's checking everybody in the field. And I thought I had my plug in my gun.

Okay. I had it to him. And he said, give me another shell. I said, oh, I'm sorry. I gave you three. I thought it was neat. So I threw him another. He put it in there.

He said, you don't have a plug in here. I said, you got me, write the ticket. in no problem. Yeah. And he said, oh, no, we don't need to do that. He said,

hey, cut you a cotton stock and put it in there. He said, I said, hey, look, I appreciate this.

Yeah. I said, because, hey, I was wrong. The gun did not have a plug. And you are, you would be right,

right to ticket and I'll pay it. Yeah. He said, no, we don't have to, you just, I said,

well, I said, here's what happened. I said, other people used that gun when I don't go hunting. And someone took the plug out of it. I said, because hey, trust me. Y'all, and then Bull was right there with me. That's the most Robertson thing I ever heard.

He ain't put but three shells in it. Transfer to Blank. I've been hunting with him for two days. He ain't put but three shields. He shot three times. That's it. Yeah. So, hey, on that, there are a lot of them out there that's all they do.

They do their job. Okay. And if you went against the law and broke the law, well, you deserve to get a ticket. Yeah. Gobwin didn't get that same grace that time as bad. Well, no, no. Well, hey.

Goes, hey, look, I met some, the next day, I met some other game boards at the next place. And they said, wait, you just said, Drew, let you go and didn't write you a ticket. And I said, yes, ma'am, he did. You know, she said, I've never heard him do that. Power of Cy Robertson. America's favorite. So, hey, I wouldn't write you a ticket. But you know what I will tell you?

and back to Emmanuel I've done figured out I got no clue how good heaven's going to be I don't even really know what we're going to be doing you don't know what it's going to be like I know it's going to be better

than I can even guess at but I do know a couple things for a fact about it me too Revelation 214 he will wipe every tear from their eyes there will be no more death

or mourning or crying or pain for the old order of things has passed away and the new has arrived that's good enough for me right there to want to hear here's another thing that i know okay all the people that i love and that have passed away my mom my dad my brothers my sisters hey i'll see him again there we go amen buddy and then

okay and look and then we're all going to be surrounded by okay the father son the holy spirit and the angels and everybody up there will be they love each other and size is going to give a grand tour of the Cosmos to Emmanuel. Oh, no. My first deal is I'm going to, I'm going to go below the rings of Saturn. I'm going to go through the bad clouds, the bad weather, and I'm going to step on that planet, Saturn, and see what it actually has on it. I'm just going to ask you when you get back.

That's going to be a hoot, too, buddy. I'm looking forward to that. My man, my man. There ain't know what I'm going to find. My man, go on Saturday. I might think about it. I might step on Saturn and that the whole

planet is solid cold. You never know. Saturn. Cheese. All right. We'll see y'all next time. Right here in a duck call. It's out of here. Hey, if you didn't have nothing to look forward to, the JD just gave you something to look forward to.
