I got a confession to me. Uh-oh. What did you do? Welcome back. Something I've never done while fishing. And that's hard to believe, right? Because you've been with me a lot and you've seen me do a lot. Give us a, let us see if we can guess it.

So, give us a clue. Go ahead. Well, guess. I mean, if you want to guess, yeah. You got a hug in your hand. No. You fell out of the boat. I have definitely done that.

No, the falling out of the boat, he does that every time. You got a big old catfish. No, I've caught big catfish before. You lost a rod and reel. No, I've done that. God knows I've done that. You hit a stump and knocked the motor off the boat. No.

I'm telling you, this one is going to be hard to believe. This one is going to, you're going to say. Were you in the water when it happened? You're going to say, do what? You was fishing. I was going fishing. Okay. He was going fishing.

That means something happened with the truck and trailer. And the boat fell off the trailer. Yep. that's it it's similar but no you're on the right tracks so look i go you know we just got back we went to nashville uh to see brittany's family and to help our friends of wheelers out while they're doing their stuff but i had a little downtime so i called my buddy friend um and i said let's go catch some crappie on percy priest and he said yeah well let's go so i i guess i did two things i remember i so i took an uber to a boat ramp i've never done that before

That's different. Yeah. That's funny. Do you know what my Uber was? A Tesla. I took a Tesla fishing, technically. That's one of them things drives herself. Well, he did have it driving himself.

But also, I figured out I will never own a Tesla living in the South. Battery operator. Yeah, it was so hot in there. He didn't have the air conditioner going. Oh, he had it full blast. But it was still hot. But it's so hot because it can't run full power because you've got to like, you got to get to where you going, you know?

like and he's one he had one of them that's got the full glass roof so you get this cool experience and I was like bro I feel like one of them weenies on Johnny D's hot dog rollers man like cooking yeah turn the air on and he was nice as could be but anyway so Fred gets there I get in his truck to back the boat in the water like I always do because that's what I do I mean I run around all these professional fishermen I dump them in because it's their boat I don't like driving their boat some of them make me drive their boat but I don't like I'd rather drive your truck you know just because but so I backed Fred in and he gave me the go oh I went Fred still had a rope tied from the front of that boat to the trailer because his

little deal that holds his golf and he forgot to untie and he forgot to untie I wasn't on you no but I mean it kind of is because I should be looking behind me a little bit but I've just done it so much when somebody gives me the go I go I don't worry about that when did you stop about 15 foot up the ramp Whenever I was like, what is wrong with his truck? What's he following me for? I didn't even look in the rear view. I was like, what is wrong with this truck?

I looked to see if I went past drive, you know, and put it manual like down to one or something. And then I looked, something caught my eye, the side view, and it was Fred, waving his hand, 15 foot up to boat ramp. Buddy. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And we were in an aluminum boat, duck boat. I mean, he hunts and fishes out of the same boat.

And you think, you know, that ain't very heavy. do you know how heavy that sucker is when they stuck 15 foot up a duck ramp and you're trying to get it back to the water? Yeah, it gets heavy when it's on land. Oh, buddy, it was heavy. But me and Fred and a Spanish-speaking friend who was there fishing. Yeah. We got it back into the water and then we proceeded to go fishing on Percy Priest.

Well, that is something, dear right? I never get it. I never, yeah. Wow. I was so embarrassed. I didn't even think to take a picture. I had to win, huh? Like, I was just like, I was so embarrassed.

and ashamed. Did you know catch anything? Oh yeah, we called. Joe and Bear? I don't know. We put in at Vivrette Creek boat ramp and went

straight out from it pretty much. We didn't go for it. That's why I always when we were fishing with Jay he'd be, he'd walk around, walk around and check everything.

Well, I don't see on boats. I don't, if I take you fishing, I don't want you touching nothing on my boat. Right. Because I've got a very specific order in which I unhooked the boat to go in the water. And the same way, if you're taking me or if I'm going,

I'm not touching your boat unless you ask me to do something. If you ask me, say, hey, unhook that up front. Sure. That way what happens is more. Because it gets you out of routine. Yeah. That way is what happened won't happen. But I straight did it, buddy.

You want to talk about a lonely feeling. But you were told to go. No, I will. I mean, but still, I should have been looking out of mirrors. You know, I mean, I'm going to take 50% of the. blame on this one because I should have been looking but I'm just so used to them boys most people like back in like goblin and they got a 250 on there so when they say go they got a 250 cranked and they're gone I don't ever even look again right like it's just go park the boat and uh I should have

looked was it was he upset no he was like not I mean he wore he was like well he said that's on me he said I just wish you to stop for you got right here so it's a bit on you too and I said That's why most people, if you say, hey, can I help you? And I said, no, I got it. Yeah. Because they've got their ritual that they do to make sure that none of that stupid stuff happens. Oh, yeah, buddy, I felt just like, you know, the size of an ant. You could have been on one of them videos where they're all watching the people back the boats.

Oh, I was a cell phone video away from ending up on qualified kids. captain's Instagram. That's like they was backing down his ramp and his house and the next thing you see is

a light's under water. It went all like truck, boat, truck and all it was. It could have been worse, Martin.

Oh, it could have been worse. We got it back in the water which I was stunned that we but Fred has done that before because he said, all right, first thing we're going to do is turn the boat around.

So we spun the boat. and put the nose back down. Yeah. So it had less metal to pull again, you know. And then once we got it to the slime of the boat ramp, you know, where we were all trying not to die slipping, the boat slid on in the water then. So I said, you need me to do anything else? He said, no, you've done enough.

You got that rain up there, that rain come through up there. A little bit of rain. Oh, it rained third. Yeah, I heard it got pretty rough here. Righty. Why did you catch any fish? Oh, yeah, we called. And my windows were down and my little.

with the coma. Hey, how's the Jacob's family? They're doing good. They're doing good. You know, Alicia got the diagnosis of the sarcoma in her leg and she is, when we were there,

she was finishing her second round of treatment. They changed her treatment because the first round made her so sick. So she got the second round, she got what they call what the Red Devil, which is the one that starts with an Ager Mison or something. I don't know. And then, but they swapped her to,

another one that's like a, what's the word, it's like immunotherapy. So basically it just takes the gloves off your immune system and says, go fight, like uses your body to try to fight it more so than drugs. And so, yeah, she,

man's weird to see. It was, because I know her and I've known her for a long time and know how full of life and everything she is and to see her down like that, it was, I mean, but she was in great spirit. She was, she's just, you know, she's sick, man, and the medicine don't help that.

Oh, it makes you feel terrible. Yeah. And so it's just, it's kind of tough to see, but I told her, I sent her text last night. She was like, because I know how independent and strong-willed she is. She was like the greatest patient ever. She was, she was patient with people trying to help her, even though it wasn't exactly like. You know what I mean, though? Like, I mean, that's hard.

You can be a terrible patient, right? And she was. I'm not a good one. Yeah. And she was a great patient because she showed all of us. us patients and all, you know, we're trying to help, but we don't, you know, you just try to help and do the best you can. Oh, yeah.

But yeah, man, tough, tough to see because her kids want to be up there in her lap and, you know, they just can't be because the deal's in her leg. And so it's. That's the worst part. It hurts the whole time. And so, you know, we were trying to keep between my kids and their kids, we were just trying to keep kids distracted and, you know, let her have a little peace. And I would say quiet, but there's four kids under the age of seven.

going to be quiet. It's not quiet, but to keep, you know, just to have some peace and stuff. And she did her fireworks show, which she loves doing. So we did a big firework show on, on the lake. And, you know, they're doing good. They're just figuring it out, figuring it out as they go. So hopefully two more rounds of treatment and then be done with that. And then do the next steel radiation and then hopefully surgery by October to get it out of there. Hopefully everything works as it should and get it out of there and get her on the, full-blown men, you know? So, um, but yeah, man, it sucks. Cancer sucks. There's no doubt about it. And since that deal, there's been so many people reach out via duck call room and

Instagram and all that and offering prayers and support. And I know they appreciate it. We appreciate and then there's a bunch of people battling it themselves. So I mean, it just, it cancer sucks, man. It, it, it's a toughie. Yeah. So, um, you know, but they're meeting it head on and I'm proud of them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because even. Yeah. Yeah. Because even. and Jacob, you know, he's special. I love that boy. But, you know, he's all the time just fish, fish, fish, fish, fish. I mean, that's what he does for a living.

And, I mean, I saw him make about 10 cast while I was there because he was helping take care of her. So, you know, like really, really going into a servant role, which is really cool. Yeah, it is. See, to see husbands and marriage is that strong to be able to do that stuff is really cool. Look, y'all, this summertime down here in the South, man, it's hot. And you know what hates heat as much as we do? Bugs.

Ain't they right, side? All right, they come inside, buddy. Don't they? Big time. What came inside? Ants. And that's exactly why Pesty makes so much sense. Other pest control companies can charge hundreds of dollars,

but Pesty starts at just $35 per treatment. Pestey customizes your plan based on where you live, your climate and the bugs that you're dealing with. It's DIY, so there are no strangers in your house and no appointment window to work around. Pesty helps get rid of over 100 types of bugs, including spiders, ants, roaches, and scorpions.

The kid has everything you need and you can get it done in less than 10 minutes. It's got a bag. You got your gloves. You got your spray. Give him this. You got your miscar.

And then, hey, that's Pesty. Guess what, boys? I got something for you, Clint. Uh, Gawin, you about to put it to a full test, ain't you? You moving back into the deer camp? Oh, yeah. I used it last year. Let me tell you, it got all the mess.

I was just because of coffee.

Was that, is it dry? Yeah. Yeah, it's dry. They don't even have air conditioning. You know, you just open up the window if you get hot. Yeah. Me and God wouldn't know. Yeah, it's like Scotland.

We still wanted air conditioning to. Yeah, and I did too. I mean, I did have some fans, but I opened up all the windows as much as they would open. That, no ice. Well, me and Godwin got to. You're right. You know, for those that don't know, me and Godwin got to Scotland. before everybody else for all the Robertsons when we did that Duck Dynasty when we were on

the earlier flight and we got there and they were delayed and whatever and we got to the hotel and there wasn't no air conditioning so me and Gobbin were like huh so we sent a friendly text out hey heads up this place ain't got no way seat which then led to another text about two hours later and said your reservation's been moved yeah down to the American hotel that's got air conditioning So we went from windows open to air conditioning. Oh, yeah. Before they ever got. A bigger room, too.

A bigger room. Yeah, we were in a little old tiny thing up there. Yeah. Both of us. That was pre-P-D-H weight. Yeah, Ph.D. weight. That was 100 pounds ago. Yeah.

And about 50 pounds ago for me, too. Yeah, we wouldn't either one of us little then. I'm fired up about going to Wisconsin again this year with you boys. Bonnie. Oh, yeah. Got some more pheasant. It's always a good trip up there. It always feels good.

Yeah. I love the hunt for life program and what they're doing. They've got, you know, benevolent things they're doing all over the United States. And then John, you and Paula, went on some kind of a special deal. Yeah, he just got back. Yeah. We talked about that. You know, he went on what they was.

The life camp with girls. The life camp they were selling. Mm-hmm. Which was awesome. And, hey, we've had a podcast where he told. Oh, okay. And they had, it was a blast. Oh, yeah.

Well, you had a great time. The Hunter, I can control this TV. Next year, we're going. I've never had this power. Hey, put us something on. Oh, great power comes great responsibility. Put us something on. I don't know.

Hey, Jeff. All right. I was just curious. I was curious. I was wondering, I don't think I have anything. I do have Johnny D. He said that we were welcome to, to FaceTime him,

today from the Gulf of America. There's Johnny D right now. He's on vacation this week. So I think after this week, everybody would be gone and back and doing everything. I bet you he thought that was Johnny's pizza. It's Johnny's Pop. Yeah. Yeah, die-free, all-natural popsicle. Yeah, there you go.

Yeah. Unbelievable. Yeah, so. There he is again. When he figured out it. Johnny D. a big selfie guy, for those of you that don't know at home. Does that surprise any of y'all? Probably not. Johnny D loves him some Johnny D so we'll just roast him while he's gone

yeah well if I keep going down that road we're going to end up talking about hot dog rollers and stuff like that which I will say we bought one and Johnny D was right the hot dog rollers fantastic what are you talking about so you know like you go in a gas station and you see all them them

weenies on over the rolling yeah like your wienies in there and just let them go and about a week later get you one. Like at the theater, John. We probably don't need to read all this. Well, I see what you're talking about, but, I mean. I thought, who'd I send the picture?

Oh, I may have just done it on Instagram. There's your boys, eat that many weenies? No, but like with us, so that deal there, Jacob and Elisa's, we've done this every year for, I don't even know how many years, July 4th. Well, now everybody's got kids. and so it just leaves you something for kids and people to eat all day. Yeah.

Yeah. Like so. You don't have to worry about it. It's always cooking. You put on the first, you know, you put on the first two packs at 10 o'clock in the morning. Yeah, that's pretty smart. And then you just, you know, we had people just kind of keeping an eye and as it would get run down. He just put more on it.

So there was always something for kids or whoever. What's funny is the adults ate them morning. anybody. I would. You get you some cheddar. 200 bucks. It's 200 bucks. I will get me one. Get you some cheddar.

Yeah. Well, we had a whole bar set up like, you know, with onions and mustard and catch up. I can pay that for a party or stuff. I guess it'd be worth it. Yeah. Yeah. When you got like 20 people staying in a house or, you know, just that one little deal for

four or five days, it just makes an easy way. You don't have to mess with nothing. Yeah. Just sell once for a check. Yeah. I'm going to buy one for the beer camp. Oh, you'll be the, you'll be everybody's favorite. Put it in the main camp.

Hey, and you know what else works well on it? Sausage. I was thinking that. It ain't just for hot. Yeah, I was thinking that. Yeah. So, yeah, no, it's, and if you want to, if you want a real cheat code, you go out there and throw them on a grill for about five minutes first,

and then bring them back in and put them on there and just keep them warm all day. Matter of fact, my daughter's on coming in here. Some time. Go get your hot dog, brother. Oh, no. I'm a pile of green. Because she'll be able to pull it off. I'm going to get her to find me some German Brockworth.

And then that's what I'm going to have on my hot dog. Bratworths rolling? Rolling all the time. For you and all your friends. I'm serious. That way you just go by. We got to get your hard roll. Cut it.

Yeah, cut it. Put hot mustard on it. Slap one of them big fireworks. Well, I'm telling you do this, you've got to get a cell phone. because part of mine and Johnny D's everyday text her dogs are rolling. Well, hold on. Dog are rolling.

It's like you said, John David loves some dog, John David. He's trying to make sure he don't get weeded out. And you put my picture on the screen? Who's going to win the games tonight? Oh. Well, something tells me that I just replied, we are, obviously. I bet he's going to FaceTime me. So you can probably ask you.

This will be great. I would imagine he's going to FaceTime me. But, yeah, hey, USA going to win. I hope. I mean, I don't know. You never know. Nah, you don't know. It won't be because we ain't rooting for them.

Well, I'm willing them to win. I so bad want to come watch the soccer game with you. With Sa? Side, get the hot dog roller. No, no, no, hey, you wouldn't. Can we do another episode from Sy's house tonight? Can I think, please, please? No, no, because we're going to film on location.

Si watches the World Cup. No, no, because Christine said, what are you doing? And we catch him cussing for the first time ever on camera. You big, Debbie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, we just got through celebrating July 4th. We know what that means. That's freedom, right?

We celebrate freedom in this country. We believe in pro-life, and that's why we love the work that they do at pre-born, and it is so important. At pre-born network clinics, mothers facing unexpected pregnancies are welcomed with compassion, practical support, and a free ultrasound. And when a mother sees her baby and hears that tiny heartbeat for the first time, her baby is twice as likely to be given the gift of life. These babies are our future, future parents, teachers, pastors, entrepreneurs, first responders,

leaders, you name it. These kids are our future. Every life saves strengthens families, communities, and generations. to come. I know like with us, obviously faith is a huge deal. I'll never forget the feeling I felt when I heard the boy's heartbeat for the first time. And at a pre-born clinic, man, these folks go in there, they get free ultrasounds. And most importantly, they get to hear the gospel. Yeah. Pre-born provides free free ultrasounds to women in need and so much more, counseling for up to two years, diapers, maternity clothes, and the hope of the gospel, all for free. For just $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound through pre-born

and help expected parents see hope for the future. If you're a business owner, consider a larger gift, $2,000 or $10,000 to claim a write-off or $15,000 donation, sponsors an ultrasound machine for a clinic, helping impact countless lives for years to come, to donate, dial pound 250 and say, baby. That's pound 250. Baby.

Or visit preborn.com slash... Doug. Again, that's preborn.com slash... You know, if you cut off your lap, arm, your right one's left. Your right one's left. That's a good one. If you cut off your right arm,

You asked me a screen record, right? So I did it. There you go. Hey, now you go. That's a pretty good looking family there. Oh, I guarantee you. Hold on. I got a better one.

I got an updated one. It really drew a lot of ire from the fans on the internet. Apparently nobody seen me without a hat. Right, there is. Look at it. I'm bald, baby. Oh, he's a brick. We have been for a while.

That don't bother me, none. Look at them boys, man. They are growing. That's a good looking family. I guarantee you, especially their mama. That's right. Here's a fine little thing. Oh, I'm here to tell you now.

Here's a... I tell you, that's why I said, well, no matter. Hey, you need to marry this girl. Here's, here wailing with a fireworks. He got that glow stick in his hand. I don't know. That's when he was looking at the drone. He was...

He was enamored by the drawn. He said, look, that drone's got its own star. It's just the, you know, the guiding light. We had one down there. Brother Deer Camp went about 40 minutes. I couldn't believe it was going. Little old fire station put it on. Volunteer fire station.

Oh, they're trying to work. I'm talking to, man. It just kept, I said, well, that's it. Now, boom, we're coming in. Yeah. Did your grandkids go to see some fireworks? I don't know. They was here.

I was there. Oh, there you go. That's what I kept thinking on, one watches on the, you know, at the mall. I said, surely it's over. No. There you have something real fun about gunpowder.

Whether it comes out of a shotgun shell. I like the way it smells. How do they make it do that from like it'll start, then it'll fill, and then it'll blow up again. How do they make all that wrapped up like it? I imagine. It's just like a rock. basically they make little mini rocket go up in those different stages yeah

boom yeah I like the no one thing the mortars are the cool ones yeah I want to spend 38 minutes oh on that one non-stop 850,000 was what they said blue yo that was there people were that was 850,000 fireworks I know what ours passed and it was not 38 minutes long. And I suspect it was a little bit smaller than that, but it was still expensive. Well, the last five minutes, it was so bright, it's blinding. Yeah.

I mean, it went from, it went from like red and blue to white. I wonder what pilots they could see for mile. Oh, yeah. We had the coolest thing. We had a cool deal because I didn't know that I didn't know that I need. needed to see this in my life, but I got to. And that was lightning behind the fireworks. Like there was a storm on the other side of the lake.

So as the fireworks are blowing up, you just see this lightning. Wow. Part of the show. And I was like, all right, that's cool. That's cool. The most, just mind blowing was that Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Yeah. It used to have lightning storms there.

It was like the Mississippi River going across the sky. Of lightning? Lightning. And it was light. That is out west. It goes. Oh, yeah. And look, when it went over us, we're out in the yard.

My hair is just, I'm talking about it. Hey, it lifted every hair on my head straight up. You know, Christine just died later. He says, you ought to see yourself. And I said, what? And she got a phone that took a picture right quick and showed me. I looked like, what's that old boy? They used to do the fights.

Oh, in America. Dawn King? Don King? Yeah, Don King. That's who I looked like with my hair. Cy King. It was just, you know. One of the coolest things is me and I were at an event on the 4th of July a few years ago.

and when it was over we were flying back and there were fireworks you could see from the plane just going off all the way home looking out the window watching fireworks underneath you. You know what I was? That was wild. No no, that was pretty cool. It's all dark and then

poof-woo. You know, yes. Pretty cool. Lightning's cool. That would be cool to watch a fireworks show from up above. Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah, that'd be neat. that'd be I did I saw them one time where was I was flying into Dallas and something had just ended a football game or something and they had a firework show so I got to see you know but it's a it's a short one yeah like and plus I'm coming in at whatever 500 miles an hour so you just kind of you know you get to see about three seconds of it at your window for you're standing on your head trying to look but yeah I bet if you watch 38 minutes from above that's probably pretty cool probably probably because it's it's it went, the screen was huge.

Yeah. Okay. And it went from one side of the screen all the way to the other. There you go. It was, you know, so that, I don't know where they had it at. Somebody said it was on barges in the river. Oh, probably, yeah. Oh.

Keep from setting stuff on far. Because that is dangerous. Very dangerous. Yeah, we had a couple on ours go a little sideways. Yeah. It was like, you know, I kept seeing it. blow a little bit early. And when they would go where they was white.

And I mean, it was a gigantic aerial white. Yeah. I can't believe it didn't light up everything that would tell you had in there. Fireworks, sir. Yeah. It looked like it would blew the whole thing up. They had them spaced up. Oh, yeah.

They had professionals done. They weren't like us, a bunch of rednecks on the ground with cigarette lighter. Twisting one. Yeah. But I don't like to. I don't like to. We made homemade mortar shells out of two by 12. Oh, dear.

I'd like to have a. energy measure on that lightning that I seen come over me in Fort Bragg. Yeah. Just to see what it put on the meter of what it went to. It probably light up a seat. Oh, I don't know, because I mean, this thing went completely across the sky, and it wasn't a little boat. It was like the Mississippi River flowing.

And it was all lightning. Look, when it comes to hair thing, a lot of guys just throw on a hat instead of dealing with it.

I always remember we was on Fields Land and Al was leaning against a fence post. Way down there like 300 yards away and it hit, the lightning hit like 500 yards away. And it flipped owl off of that fence post. Oh, it hit the fence. Yeah, when it hit the fence.

It flipped him. I mean, you're... Really? Yeah. Oh, that's cool. He got up and told me, what happened? Yeah. Well, he said, I said, hey, you got struck by lightning.

it's time to go. Well, no, because I ain't. There's enough static electricity to take your fishing line and go like this. Nope. With your hair. That's, yeah.

I ain't got no hair. What the thing we did was drop that rod. Yeah. So that thing was buzzing. Yeah, you reel up real fast and you get the heck out of that. Yeah, and then tight. The next time I heard that 20 or was cranked up and we're gone. Yeah.

Oh, good. Yeah, you find out just how fast you can reel one up, pick a troller motor up and get gone. So I've been there. Yeah. Say just a little too long. And he looked and you're like, oh, we're cooked. This is it. Yeah, we're, it's over.

Blown. Blowed it all up.

Really? That's why. She's still with us? Mm-mm. That's got to be scary. I was going to get her to come in here and talk about that. I'll think that that's got to be secure. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. After that second, you know, first time, but the second time will actually be hit by lightning. After that, she's in the high. Buddy, any time I see it, I go, I get under a roof. I'm like, uh-uh. Well, see, actually, actually, I was leaning against the fence post.

Yeah. Well, it hit the wire. Way down yonder. 500 yards away, and it still flipped him, just flipped him off the, off of it. That's what I'm talking about. That's a lot of power. Fans, if y'all got any lightning strike stories,

What about my buddy that peed on the spark plug to show me that his boots would protect him from it? He said, yeah, my boots are rubber boots to protect me. Well, what does that have to do with your tallywacker being out? Hey, it knocked him out of them boots. He was laying out of the floor convulsing. He peed on an active spark plug? Yes, he did. Why?

Because he wanted to show me. He had new rubber boots, and he was like, I can touch the fence, nothing happened. With these rubber boots on, I can do anything. I will not be shocked. I'm Superman. And we had a lawnmower out there, I said, let me crank this mower up. And you pee on the spark plug, he said, it won't even hurt me.

It won't even hurt me. We pulled that spark plug up and cracked it up. And the first drop hit, and he went back about 10 foot. Woo! I thought he was dead, but he was just rolling around, shaking. Who is? Do you want me say it? Yes.

Jeff Glasscock. I don't know if y'all know this guy, but he's a character. Well, is it now? He's a Darendelble. How long ago was that? Oh, we were kids. Oh, okay. Were y'all drinking?

Like, I mean, you shot the rock in the driveway, you got trouble. That rock was put there. But we shot them old china berries. Oh, yeah. And each other, like shot each other with china berries and tallow tree berries.

And then balls off a cypress tree. Hey, I got more, I got in more trouble with china berries. Oh, man, we used to shoot each other with them things. like the farm hands used to ever Saturday night they'd go to a place that had to come by the house and we there's an old building there that had a roof that's come over the highway we can get up there with a basket for the china berries and have like a gallon bucket of them cars combined oh no oh yeah that's best would hit this thing and you oh that was back

we, we, we, the same guy who peed on the spark club. On the show that we, you know, we hit golf balls. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. That was good. And I actually knocked, knocked a light out of mine. On the golf ball? Yeah. I hate it so hard and knocked the light out.

Now, see, I'll believe that, but Jace wouldn't. Oh, no. Hey, Jason was there. Oh. Oh.

You know, and he said, you didn't do it. I said, hey, hand me another one. I'll knock it out. So he handed me another and knocked it out. I said, I said, I don't play golf. I said, it's a waste of time. Well, Joe, I told him every one day. He was down at the field. He kept slicing it. And I said, James, for a little nominal, I charge you $20. And I said, I can tell you how to fix that. He said, do you play? And I said, that's what I thought.

I said, I don't have to play to teach you how to do it, dummy. I can correct what you're doing wrong. But back in the day, me and I did play some golf together, and I will say that he can hit a driver. The dancing rabbit is where it happened. Is that with the big old nod on it? What? The dancing rabbit?

No, the driver. Oh, no, look. That's what they handed me at that. I hit a golf ball. That golf ball and that fence. Oh, yeah. Three hindoes. I had to go off off of 300 yards.

Hmm. No. That is true. That's a true story. And look, and I wouldn't have believed it unless, but he put his name on it and marker. Did it get, did it get on a cart pad? No. Come on.

No, no. It's right. Look, no. We was playing four of us and we were scrambling. Like the best shot. Yeah, scramble. So everybody had went in the woods and it was my time. And I said, boys.

What did I say to you? I said, what did I say to you before you got there? Hey, look, just hit it easy and knocking in the fairway. Because we're all in the woods. Because we're all in the woods. And I said, no. And Philip said, hey, idiot, just hit it in the middle of the fairway. Easy.

Don't go for it. Yeah, about 50 yards. I said, no. I said, you see that open spot down there in the fairway? And I said, yeah. I said, I'm going to put it right there. Go yet. So, hey, look, I got ready.

That's showing his form. Hey, that's the hardest I've ever swung and I hit it perfect. Bam! You know, and I'm looking and I'm saying, it's going to make it, it's going to make it. It's going to go it over the trees. It's over them. I said, but, yeah, I said, I think it hit him the stand trap.

And somebody looked way down there. We just come by the 250 marker. Yeah, yeah. You know, another 50, 75 yards down there. a white spot in the middle of the fairway. And one of them said, hey, I think that's your ball down there. And I said, hey, we just passed a 250 marker.

I said, that's $3.3.25. I said, I can't hit a ball that far. You're right. And I said, hey, well, you know, so we will look all around there. And I said, the guy said, hey, I'm going down there to see if that's the ball. Well, he went down there and he said, hey,

it's got your name on it. this is your ball. You hit it. And Jay said, was this supposed to prove something? I was like, yeah. That's 300-yard drive. He says, I got four idiots holding up three fingers. That don't mean you hit the ball 300 yards.

So he said, I've always been curious if hunters have superstitions before or during their hunting trips, just like baseball players not changing their socks during a winning streak. Do you all have any superstitions? Did he ever watch Duck Dynasty? Yes, he's a big fan.

Okay. Well, then he should know that for 60 days, Phil Robertson didn't wash his socks because he said every time you washed them, they got colder. Yeah, you wanted the dead skin cells. If it cleans it, it makes it cold. Yeah, you needed your sloughed off skin cells in the pores of the clothes to make them as warm as it could be. Also known as, that's why he stuck so.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh, rather serve one another humbly in love. So we have the ultimate freedom through Christ Jesus. But like it says, don't use that freedom for bad, y'all.

Use it for good. And we'll see y'all next time.
