I'm so excited to do this podcast. It's going to be so good and I think I like it. Welcome back. We are in the duck call room. Welcome back. I'm back. I don't even know what the day is. It's size anniversary.

Oh, it is. It's the 7th of April and 51 years ago. I don't know when this area. Yeah, baby. That's how much. He tricked her. That's right. Fifty one years.

Silk black jacket with a big red dragon on it. I think we got to take a second and just. And hey, that's what got her. 51 years. She could not handle that dragon. That's unbelievable and unheard of almost these days. Hey, look, I'm catching up, dude. This hammer tomorrow is three years.

33? 33? I'm not even 33 years old. I couldn't get married on the 7th because I had to go to size with. See, there it is, bud. 20 years apart. You mean his anniversary party? Yeah, that's right.

And with the man, hey, with a man like me that's got the gift of the gab that I've got, it took me 14 hours to convince that redhead to marry me. You wore it down. Dossier's fine and said, hey, he ain't going to get off of it. I might as well say yes. There you go. Well, I'm thankful to have you to. 51 years later, looking back, I wouldn't change the thing.

That's awesome. I don't know. I'm just glad I get to sit by you and soak in a little bit of that. It gets better and better with wisdom. Oh, no, no. Yeah. So you taught me that your wife's mean, and you taught me to. Well, she is.

Tute under the covers and pull it up over. Well, underneath all that meanness, she's a good woman. Underneath that mean, she was a good woman. She took care of me 51 years. There you go. Amazing. Well, look. Gave me two children.

I got something I need to tell you, Sigh. I'm ready for this. Should there be a drum roll? Johnny D. knows. Does Gowin know? Somewhat. He doesn't know the latest development. Latest.

I'm going to move away from my microphone. Ladies and gentlemen, get excited. So the Martin family is growing. That's what I'm talking about. You're going to be a grandpa again, Sigh. Yeah, what I'm talking about. Hey, Justice Martin. Congratulations and tell that good-looking woman you married.

Well, wait a second. I'm probably happier than she is. Well, wait a second. Oh, boy. So we went today. Oh. So the doctors? Uh-huh.

Okay. And there's two of them in there. There's another. I would just fix, say, if you're a clean on this, I will beat the death. There's two of them in there. So you fixed that twins? You're going to have twins. Twins.

Twin. Twins. Hey. Woo. Man, that is awesome. Twin. I don't think I could ever. I don't think I could ever hear any better information.

It is awesome, man. It's awesome. No, I ain't even got the words. Golly. Two of them, Sire. Twins! Can I drop one of them off at your house? Hey, we will keep them whenever.

Yeah. In six years, we're going to have some pitch glimps. Oh, no. Hey, what are you talking about? I'll guarantee you. They're going to know how to clean fish, green ducks. For you and your woman, congrats. Yeah, I got to be honest.

See, so we went, we went, we've known for a minute. This is awesome. It really is. We went the first time and look, see, I've always been worried, not worried, but concerned, because my dad was a twin. So I was like, when we went to first time, the doctor did their thing.

Be careful, be careful what you asked for. Well, the doctor did their thing And she was like, oh, look, it's just one, everything's good. You know, heartbeat's good, everything looks good. We'll see you in a month. Yeah. No, it ain't good. Well, today's a month.

And when she got in there today, it's so sneaky showed up, boys. There was two faces looking back at it. Yeah. And I said, Doc? Yeah. I said, is this some kind of mean April Fool? And she said, no, buddy, there's two of them in there.

And I said. Hey, that's one thing. You do not do. Oh. Since you said that about April's Fools, okay, so when me and my wife met Massachusetts, okay, her best friend, I come in one day just clown around and guess what day it is? April Fools Day. I come in, I said, hey, I can't remember her name now.

I had it now. But anyway, I told her, I said, hey, darling, guess what? She said what? I said, me and Christine got married. And she was just on Cloud 9 running around, screaming a young. Then I said, April's Fool. And she got a bad look on her face. And she said, God will get you for this?

Six days later, you were married. That six days later, I was married. So, yeah. So don't have, just a warning, don't fool that for Fool Day. Yeah, no. Hey, how did they miss it on the first try? I guess the heartbeats was in stereo. Well, that.

Sneaky. Well, that, and she said, because we were super early on the first one, because they didn't know when, you know, I ain't going to get into all that stuff. But they weren't sure when her last missed one was. Because there was just some weird stuff that happened in between there. And so they were like, just go and come in, we'll see, whatever. Like, normally we'd never do one this early, but just come in, let's make sure everything's okay. You and her have done something right, my man, because this is a blessing from the Almighty. Both of them?

Both of them. See, I looked at it. Are y'all any preference, girl boys, or just really don't care? Healthy mom, healthy babies. Okay. Don't care. With an ass on the end of it. Yeah.

Both of them. I never, I never dream. Martin texted me. I texted Martin. I said, hey, I got a good email for this podcast today. He said, Twins. And I said, no, I only got one email. And he goes, no, I'm having twins.

And I got to smiling. And my dad looked at me. He's like, what is your deal? I said, I'm just really. happy right now. The only thing about this is your dad didn't get to see him. Yeah, but I know he's laughing. Oh, yeah.

He was a twin. Yeah. So I know he's, I know he's cutting up. That's a good part with me. He's watching. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Every time I wake up at midnight, he's going to be laughing. Folks, if you don't have, if you don't believe in Jesus, God. You're missing out. Oh, absolutely. There's so much stuff to. you that it just gives it a rights perspective. Yeah. And if you don't think he's got a sense of humor, I'm having twins.

Every time. That's right. And I'm having them about three weeks before duck season starts. So if you don't think he got a sense of humor. Woo! Big Daddy. Hey, I can tell you this. There's going to be a lot of ducks thankful.

Because your boy ain't going to be hunting near as much as fall as he normally does. I can tell you that. When you wake up at 12. No, you don't do. Here, let me tell you what you do. I love it. You tell Brittany, don't tell me. No, you're going to like it.

Oh, man. All right, you're at night. You sound asleep. Baby cries. You hear the baby monitor. Whee, whee, whey, whey, whey. She's going to move. Brittany's going to move.

It's just a mom-in. And when you feel that move, you say, your turn, real fast. And you'll never have to go in there. She'll just get up and go. also be sure to rip one and pull the covers right over her head right before she leave yeah yeah on her way out the door you'll feel that move oh my good I'm so excited by the way I don't know what the camera showed here and just for all our listeners that one of my favorite podcast moments of all time was sighs face when you were telling him that you were about

to cry don't know because I was telling him hey if you're joking on this I'll fix a I mean, he was so happy. It's been hard enough to keep it from me for a month. I've been waiting for you to tell everybody. Yeah. So here we go. We had to tell them about both of them, though. Yeah, I had to wait for the rest of the story to be written, apparently.

It's a good time you're wife here. No, the rest of the story. I'm serious. Okay. I'll tell you what, I'd be a little hesitant about going next month, check that's what I told her. I said, look, I said, Doc, I need some assurance that when we come back in a month, there ain't going to be four of them.

I said, because at this point, every time we come, they multiply. This is a mutation. You said these are kids. I said, unless Brittany's like a Labrador or something, I don't know how many more we can get in there. Because she, I don't know, man. What's hilarious about it. My sister-in-law texts us about three weeks ago.

I said, I just had the realest dream ever. Y'all went for an 11-week checkup. Uh-oh. And y'all had twins. and we told Mamma, of course, Mamma, of course Mamaw been gone for eight years now. So it was a weird dream, and she said, Mamma just started dying out laughing.

And then when that doctor showed them two faces today, I texted my brother and sister-in-law, and I said, y'all spoke us into existence. And they said, what? And I sent them that picture to two faces, and they said, no. I said, yeah.

Both of them? Yeah. Yeah. And then you tell me God hasn't got a good sense of you? That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. I mean, unreal.

It is. I did. Me being the man I am. I said, Doc, I just got no something. She said, what? I said, same price. Like, where are we at? Is this double?

She said, I don't have to pull that weight in her out. Yeah, she said, no, we don't care how many is in there. Same price. Okay. All right. Cool. I'm talking about. Hey.

I said, I feel like I'm getting a deal. Hey, Bob, who you got coming down? Let's make a deal. I'm kidding. Bill it's going to visit Martin's diaper go-fund me. We'll put a link up in the show. Yeah, no kidding. We're going to get off.

I know what I'm getting you for your birthday. We're going to get off that Omega X-L, lad. We're going to be Pampers 20 slash up. You know, something like that. I don't know. No, it's all good, man. It scared me to death when I saw them, too. Because I got enough basic biology understanding from school.

You knew it. When she was moving that wand in there, I said, that ain't her bladder. Why is there another sack right there? I told you. And then she moved that wand a little more and I was like. Hey, Dad. And I'm looking at them side by side and I said, uh-uh. And it's about that time she said, well, there's two.

I said. You know what that other baby said? All right, time to stop recording. That other face said. Got him. Yeah. Surprise. Something came in the mail today.

Oh, man. Unreal. But anyway, so that's the big news. Hey, we had a good first segment. I don't know how we come back from this. This is the best. It don't get any better. Let's take a break.

I'm going to use your oxygen machine and try not to pass out as I still process this information. He's proud. 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 try tells beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robertson would say buy on the grill look before we got tritels getting ready for a cookout man somebody had to run the grocery store do all the things grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day and you never really know where that beef come to them but with tritels beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way try tells 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 TryTales beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

She was, I can show you the video. She was shaking uncontrollably whenever they said, too. Because she just said last night, she said, either I'm further or long than they think I am. She got a belly. She ain't ever had no belly. She got a belly. She ain't like me. She's the anti-meet.

Other than we both tall, but that's about where our similarities end on that regard. But she said, I'm further or longer, there's two in there. And I said, there ain't two in there. The night she went to go get a pregnancy test. I said, you ain't pregnant. You just wasted money. So I'm 0 for 2 on this deal. You should stop making predictions, bro.

guy who's living has been mostly made around hunting is it metal october towards end yeah you can You have a couple of deer by then. Loddy B. I'm just amazed because you found this out, what, five hours ago, even, maybe? Yeah, the appointment was at 9. It was probably 9.30 before she came in there. There's a lot going on in your head right now. A lot.

I'm proud of you. Buddy. He's thinking, what happened? Yeah. I'll tell you what happened. I'm aware of what happened. No, that ain't what happened. When they get here,

what are you going to sell? What in the world? Yeah, come October this podcast, if I'm looking a little, little. You got to look like I did on the last one. You remember three hours of sleep, but remember when you watch Wheeler's Young and, uh-huh.

Just think of a two or two of them. Double it. Ooh, bump beds. Oh, there you go. That's what's up. That's fun. He helped raise Bella, so he'll make her great dad. Oh, Lord.

I've helped raise a few of them. You can keep up with them. But I ain't ever had one. I could always leave them. These coming home with you. Yeah, you can't get rid of these. So all the little bad habits I've caught them and laughed about, they're going to come back on me.

I will say this, okay. What's that? And remember this. Your kids are always listed. Oh, absolutely. Most parents and most people that have kids, you know, or they're violating them. They don't think they're paying attention.

Oh, they always are. Hey, they lookin? They don't miss nothing you say. The one that concerns me is that mischievous one that was hiding in the last one. I see, I got one. It's a sneaky. Oh, no. I ain't out there.

Sneaky from the jump, yeah, already. I don't even know what to do. I like it when he said when the other face showed up. His face, he just changed when he said. If you to see, I don't know what I looked like in there, but it had to look like I saw a ghost. because they should put gopros in it. Hey, I wish I'd had a camera on you

because you said when they was doing it was one and then the other face showed up, you kind of... Oh, yeah. I said in the video, I said, okay, got to stop recording. And I looked at the doctor. I was like, huh? You said there was one last time. Like, if you hadn't told me there was one last time,

I don't think it would have been as big of a shock because I get, like twins are in my family. It happened. Even though they said this one's on. her. This is so major. They said it's on her and I got that part on video too. She said look what you did to me. And she said she said actually this one's on you. Hey, Brimmy's got some rubber here. Let's cess blame here. I'm taking all this. We're going to sense blame. Yeah. She said she did. She said look what you did to me. That doctor said, oh, baby this one's on you. And I said,

I said, uh-huh. I got video evidence. Don't you put that on me? Yeah. Get off me, Ricky Bobby. Don't put that evil on me. Oh, man. Yeah, it's something, man. Two of them. A pair of them. No, we're in Germany, okay.

And we're eating spaghetti, me and my wife and her, the next door neighbor, the best friends, Jared. And Christine said, I don't know what is wrong with my stomach. And we had already been talking about, you know, we wanted the baby all there, you. and Cheryl looked at her and she said, you know what? And Christine said, what? And started shaking her head. And Sharon was going, uh-huh, uh-huh, yes it is, uh-huh.

And Christine said, no, don't you, you remember I told you, all the doctors said I couldn't have a baby. She said, yeah, but this is about the third meal I've had with you, and you're having stomach problems. And then you're talking about you get up in the morning and then you're kind of queasy. So, I'm sharing it all along He said, no, no, you're pregnant.

Yeah. So now, that's why it's so weird than when your wife's talking about, hey, either they don't, the doctors don't know what they're talking about. Either I'm further along and they think or has I got two of them. Showing up.

Well, there's like a poker hand. There's a pair. Now she's got to eat twice as much. Huh? Now she's got to eat twice as. Well, she's been doing that. She has replaced me as the eater of the household. I'm like, she's like, you hungry?

No. You hungry? No. Wait until she wants ice cream at 1 o'clock in the morning. I get it for her. Look, she's doing something. Look, I don't envy all you women that listen. All you women that listen and have kids,

I don't envy what y'all go through in the least bit. And let me just tell you something. I gain more respect and admiration for my wife every day for doing it. Because, I mean, she's been sick, sick for three weeks. No, no. You know, if the women didn't have the babies, they wouldn't be none. Hey, the human being would be extinct.

We too big a wimp. Okay, because, you know, they're all they're talking about the weaker? No. Hey, don't give me this weaker junk. Oh, yeah. Okay, because now, hey, if it'd been up to us to have babies, hey, this human being would have died out long, long ago. Yeah, I'm still trying to figure it out.

That's why I. Steve, Steve, he keeps looking down and thinking. No, no, that's why I look. What am I going to think? That's why moms are the greatest. Amen. Oh, absolutely. I'm serious.

Absolutely. We're all technically mama's boys, right? I am. Guilty as charged. Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, I'm a mama's boy. Yeah. Guilty as charged.

I am proud of it. Me too. Hey, mom. Yeah. Hey, mom. I know you're listening. He's working on raise. Yeah.

This has been a fine day. I guarantee you. Let's take another break. We'll be back right after this. Great news. This is weird. Hold on a minute. Did I have trouble scanning you last time?

Yeah. It's like to the right. You got two babies in there. And maybe that's why we were having a tough, a tough time. I probably told you. I told you. Oh, my God, I told you. You see, there's two babies.

That's why we had a hard time scanning you last time because we couldn't see everything we did to see. Are you kidding? You kidding me. I said I got to stop. But it's hilarious because one of them's like up right doing this thing and the other one's laying down. I said, well, we know which one's one. mine oh boy over chilling yeah he's oh boy i don't know if they boy girl you know they're just babies at this point yeah she's just chilling he's like gas high pressure windy day we ain't

I do want to take a second. I found this online. I thought it was actually really cool. So there, in Louisiana, we just had the state high school fishing tournament. Yeah, we did.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And for the first time in any major fishing event at any level, supposedly, a team of female anglers won the thing. So Louisiana, Taylor and Alexis from Parkway, high school out of Bozier City, Louisiana, won the Louisiana State High School Fishing Championship. I don't know if it's going to happen again, but let me tell you something.

She's been real mad at you. I thought you were fishing to tell me why you figured out why they called it to Dark Ages.

Dark Aida? No, I don't know. Here we go. Too many nights. See, that's where Uncle Goblin comes in. That is his role, baby. Now that I'm going to be a dad, well, you start writing these down so I can officially have dad jokes. I've got the dad bod.

Yeah, the doctor looked. She said, she said, you look kind of weird because there's two. I said, well, yeah, man, it's a little bit shocking. Feel kind of weird because she looked and she said, it's better than three. I said, Doc, I'm going to be and you go get along here. That's fine. Hey, hey.

Oh, my word. There you go. Next, next appointment is with the urologist. I got a good one. You know a guy? I know a guy. Looks like Santa Claus and he's very nice. Makes a lot of jokes to make you feel less and more uncomfortable all at the same time.

Yeah, I'm uncomfortable right now. All right, now begins the grueling. What are we going to name these children? John and David, done. No. They're two boys. I can't care. John.

Well, that's where. Me and Gowlin got it up. under control john and david oh and godwin is the middle names well we had two picked out if it was a boy and a girl then that's what clay said clay said that's where you screwed up he said you said you already had two he said he said it's going to be a boy and a girl you done i said well hammer we're going to wait before we cross that bridge so we say that's their names and this that the other but lord have mercy yeah i don't know i don't i mean i know what those are if they're one and one, but if there's two of one,

That's probably end up poorly because who knows what would happen. Your kids might need to watch my kids. Yeah, well, we'll wait for a few years before we go down that room. Oh, man, but there's enough kids around here

that's about that age that needs some funds. Ooh, Sage will be a great babysitter. No, she ain't choking them out. No, that's true. I don't know if I'm not sure. I don't know if I'm trusting. Maybe BK. Maybe BK is solid.

Yeah, BK get on that bag. That'd be fine. But I tell you, Jolene going to come first. She's going to get her feelings hurt if she ain't the first call. But she's retired now. I guess this is kind of what she dreamed retirement would be. So there is. She got two of them.

You got time. Yeah.

Followed that amazing. I guess that's why I bought two of them spin rockets other day. They can each have one. Amen, baby. I don't know. I said it just bought one, I guess. I don't know. You're doing everything.

in twos now so oh i can't wait till the next one the next one we're all going with you yeah that call room from the ultrasound last week of april they moved it up a week since there's two of them so there you go and last week of april we're going back so i'll have more updates and maybe a picture or maybe some confirmation on what what they are if they're male or female so i don't twins bro there's two of them there's two of them both of them right now seem to be healthy heart rate was like one 68 and 178 and 170 isn't that a thing like the heart rate if it's fast it's a boy if it's slow it's I've looked up all over that stuff and the short answer is there's really no scientific evidence to back up either but they said they're in their own little sacks and so it's going to be as few of complications as possible with twins

yeah no it's yeah does brittany know what they are my wife would swear oh it's a boy i'm like you don't know she's been saying the whole time it's a boy but Now that's proven to be false because there's two up. So I've been halfway thinking it was a girl. The whole. Boys. Yes. Yeah, that's it?

Oh, man, if it's too, my, it's about to get expensive. Two boys? Yeah, I don't need two more of me. I got enough hobbies and enough toys. They can share. That's the beauty of a twin. I'm not very good at that. That's what, because I don't want them using my stuff, so I'm going to buy them their own stuff.

Hey, here you go. Yeah. Take this. Hey, can we use your shock? Can't use my shotgun. You got to use your own. But we'll have good retrievers, good fish cleaners. You won't even need a dog here in about 10 years.

No, I'll be off. No, I'll have no toes. No, a 10 millimeter socket, he's gone. Where's that? You ain't ever going to find that. Of course, most time I just take him throw them on side of the road anyway. Can't ever find it when you need it. There's one that's always missing, 10 millimeter.

He ain't ever there. That's the one you always get. You know, because he fits everything. That's why he ain't ever there. But yeah, no, we're going. Hey, our kids pick ducks. That's what's going to happen around here. They're going to learn.

They're going to be little rednecks. It's going to be good. He's just saffering them. What he could say. He's trying to figure out how does he get one named after him. No, he's not. He is legitimately the happiest I've seen him. I've been literally just in shock.

I really am. Well, buddy, times three. Didn't that? Times two. Wow. We're turning into our. Yeah, I'm going to be a dad. Yeah, baby.

Maybe. Yeah. Be a dad, man. It's cool. It's awesome. I never did take a hope. What, being a dad? Every time I said it is.

That's because you're still 14. Well, no, no. I'm serious. It never did take hold because I always, I'd go look in the mirror and say, I'm fixing to be a dad. Yeah. Yeah. And I'd go, no. I told Brittany a day, I said, look, I said, when we was leaving there, I said,

I'm going to need you to bear with me. So I'm going to make a lot of jokes over the next few. days. I said, that's just my coping mechanism. So like, just let me cope. None of it is serious. I said, but until it buries its way into that gray matter, I'm going to need to cope with this through humor. I said, also, when I get off work as afternoon, I'm going fishing. So I said, I'll see you about dark. She said, why are you going fishing? I said, just to contemplate. I said, I may not even make a cast. I'm going to the pond. Because there's nothing wrong with the quiet. Yeah. Sometimes, a man just needs to look at some water.

Yeah. And stare at it and think. Amen. I asked it. There you. There you go. Well, I'm happy. I didn't know we was going to do three segments about it.

Well, look. Right after this one. I was good buddies with some twins in high school. They shared the vehicle and everything. But it was weird like every once while you'd hang out with one of them and you were always like, where's your brother? Where's the other? Because I'm friends with both of you equally.

Yeah, we had some twins at school too, but my problem was if they weren't together, I couldn't tell them apart. If they standing side by side, I knew which one was which, but if I saw them solo, I was like, hmm. Yeah, which one is? There's a 50-fitty chance here. That's why you say, hey, man. Hey, man.

I still miss my nieces all the time. How's your brother? Kenzie and Stella, I'm like. The only thing I remember about twins talking is it, they always wanted to, you know, mom and dad seem to want to dress them the same. Just identical twins. I would imagine that's going to be on my bag. Oh, yeah.

There's going to be matching outfits. I want to be yellow and want it to be blue. Well, I'm just saying. That's the way you tell them apart. I remember them talking, and they would say, well, hey, you know, you got to remember they're individuals. They may look alike. Yeah. But they're individuals.

One of them's going to wear orange. The other one's going to wear purple. Well, y'all people. They'll tell them apart, but we won't. No, that's going to be the fun thing. I think I would like try to confuse people, too. My sister's missed their kids a couple times. Oh, no, being a kid, if you're identical,

oh, yeah, they're going to be playing all kinds of tricks. Yeah. I didn't have identical. I didn't have an identical. You're a twin? Mm-mm. What are we talking about? Galva said, I don't know about that life.

We didn't know you were a twin. Oh, I'm not. I'm not. I don't have an identical twin either. Closest thing God was, W. Oh. I can tell y'all apart because you can still move. I tell that sucker, he's going to laugh and make some inappropriate comment.

Hope you enjoy duck hunting, little buddy. Yeah, yeah. Shoot. I think my mom basically moved in with my sister for a while. Because, I mean, there's two kids. Yeah. Your mom will be there all the time. I would imagine.

And my mother-in-law also said, hey, look for, you know, see if there's something, two acres with a little cabin or something on down there. I said, don't kid. Don't put it. I'll fill up your inbox today. I said, I'll make you deal. You do that. I'll mow it. I'll mow it.

I love cutting grass. Yeah. Especially when you got twig. I told Briddie. I said, it's time to move. She said, why is that? I said, I need a place with a shop. I said, I feel, I feel, dad feel shop time coming.

Dad feels shop time needed. You need a boat with a desk beside it. Yeah. I'm about to have some intimate shop time. I don't know what my next hobby is going to be of piddling in the shop, but I'm going to have to get something. No, she's the woodworker. Brittany's a carpenter at a family, not me.

I ain't got the patience for it. But she's pretty good at it. When you go fishing, though, everything's going to be so organized. That's fun, though. Nice and tied on everything. Woodworking is fun. Yeah, she enjoys it. I know.

It aggravates the snod out of me, It really is. Yeah. It's fun to take something that's just, you know, like a board and then transforming it into something that's really pretty. Yeah. Especially if you get on the lays and make stuff. Yeah.

Yeah, she's, that's what she grew up doing with her grandfather and her dad kind of dabbles in it. And so she comes from a line of them. I come from a line of pipe fitters. And so, you know, hammers, wrenches, make it fit. You got to make it work. I've got a whole lot of fun coming up. and we beat them out.

No, no, no, y'all got a whole lot of fun coming up. Yeah. Might be teaching them how to do all this woodworking stuff. She teach them how to swing. I teach them how to dangle. Yeah. There you go. That's Forrest Gump.

That's all. Oh, Forrest. Oh, my goodness gracious. Mm-mm-mm-mm. Well, I got to ask you a question. Go ahead. Just being me. You said you was a scared, scared while I said, I'm afraid.

You say I'm afraid. Oh, scared of death. What are you talking about? I woke up scared to death and my kids ate. Well, hey, my question is what are you afraid of or scared to death of? Because it goes back to what I think I said this a few episodes ago. What I'm afraid of is there's two things in my opinion that everybody sucks at. Marriage and parenthood, as you ain't ever done either.

I have no idea. And no idea what to do. Yeah. You can read every book. You can do everything. You can talk to everybody. But until you're there. And then throw the book away.

Yeah. Until you're there at 1 a.m. and this child won't quit crying and you can't figure out why. You don't know what to do. And that's the part that terrifies me. And I know they'll be fine. I know you figure it out. Everybody's still here.

But yeah, I agreed. And I know that. But it's the learning process and all that. Because there is no book for everything else you can look up how to do. It's because. Want to learn how to tie fishing not? You can look it up. Want to learn how to do that?

You can look it up. Especially this day and age. Yeah. But on that, there is nothing to look up. Because no matter what you look up, and for you, you're going to be learning on the fly on two of them. Because in the words, the great head soccer coach, Ted Lassow, different people are different people. That's exactly right. So what works for one kid, I mean, I had, we've all heard about Carter on this podcast.

I set him down last night. I had a long talk. He's just boo-hoo. And I'm like, bro, stop crying. It's okay. I'm not like, we're fine. The other one, on the other hand, you can go get an extension cord like side and just why.

And he would be like, no, nothing. Yeah, you can choke slam bands. He's fine. Yeah. I've never done anything like that. Do it again, Dad. He's like, fine. That's why I'm saying.

Yes, I'm going to get a who up. Hey, that's why I'm saying all of them are in the door with. Yeah. Okay, because my daughter, okay, all I'd do is mom or me, Take the book's away. Take a book's way. Oh, yeah. That's it.

Take a book away? Take her, don't let her read. That's the way Johanna was. You'd take away her lobby car? You could do anything in you wanted to. Angel. Okay, but don't take my book's way. Man, I hope I have one of them.

No, no, I'm serious. And that's why she was, you know, she's number one. She's a teacher's dream student. Because she's a sponge, waiting to be, you know, hey, pour the water on me, let me sort it. Yeah, that AR stuff. Yeah, and then like me, okay.

No, I didn't want, I didn't care nothing about school. Yeah, me, when I got in trouble, my BB gun got locked up, put in my fishing rods, and like, I was a sad little cookie, man. I was like, dang. But yeah, that's what terrifies me. Is all, is that, and I say, terrified may not be the right word. I don't know. That is.

No, that's the right way. I just, I wanted to, I wanted you to voice it, because, because, you know, Here's why I bring this. You know, Al, done a lesson the other day, and the title of it was love is the greatest. Yeah. Because there's faith, hope, and love being the greatest. Okay, and that's what I was going to say about parritor.

Okay. Love them. Oh, absolutely. And that won't be an issue. And that'll take care of 90% of what you're supposed to do for them. You'll know how harsh or how like that be. Yeah. Yeah.

So, you know, and that's why I love is the greatest. Okay, because you're looking, you're fixing, you're fixing to have a, you know, to use the Bible term, clay. And then you're going to mold it from birth. Yeah. And that's what's scary. Some of them clay pots, you've got to tear down and start over. Well, no, no, because that's why the military, that's why the military, if you get them a bunch of people, civilian, well, you got to break them. Yeah.

And then you rebuild them. Yeah. Put them back together. And put them back together and make them work as they're not used to it. Make them work at a unit or a team. Yeah. Well, these two ought to be a pretty good team. They ought to be a good tag team.

Well, because you already got the teamwork going. The bash bros, the twin towers. See, that's what marriage is. I'll talk to mom and you get the cookies. That's what marriage is. Okay. You two have been pulling together. Okay.

Now, okay, you've got some other people fixed to be involved with that you're glad to pull along. Oh, Lord, have mercy. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward. We're going to have some fun. I'm still scared to death, but we're going to have some fun with it. You know what? They're going to know that we love them.

They're going to know that Jesus loves them. And the rest going to be up to them. Amen. At the end of the day. That's all you can do. Wow. Love them? Share Jesus with them.

And then, hey, and it rests up to them. By God, if they need to touch that hot stove, I'm going to let them touch that hot stove. No, you ain't. If it's girls, you go. They still going to have to learn how to touch that hot stove. Oh, no.

Hey, he will do, he will say, hey, that's hot. Don't touch it. Yep, don't touch it. Then it's going. Ah! I told you. I told you it's hot. I told you it's hot.

I told you it's hot. Meanwhile, I'm walking to get the burn cream because I know it's coming. There you go. Next time. That's not off. Next time. I'm off that tree and the window seal. Paula's got one of them things.

It looks like it's got stickers on it. I'm going to go down to Mammals. It's got juice on it. I'm going to go down to Mammals and snatch that switch tree out the yard and get one started at mine. There you go. Yeah. I ain't ever had a use for one. I do now.

You're all ready to learn it. I got to eat me something to beat you with. Yeah. But go get it yourself, the ultimate form. Oh, no, no. Oh, yeah. The ultimate form of self-denial. I'm going to teach you, okay, thought process here, son.

Yeah. That your actions do have coincidence. What's not coincidences. Consequences. Consequences. Yeah. Whatever you do has consequences, okay. Well, we'll come back from this, and we'll get in that mailbag,

and then we'll leave you all alone. Oh, wow. I know how to find Will Smith and the snow. How does find Will Smith in the snow? You look for fresh prints. Boom! There you go. I got one.

Oh, man, I was totally fine trying to figure out how slap and snow went together. That was too easy. Man, that's good. What are we on? Huh? Let's get in that mailbag. Okay.

Get in that mailbag. Getting that mail bag. All right, I've only got one email today, and it's just funny that this was the one I chose today because it says father advice. Yeah, let me listen. Mark. It's about mine.

Hold on. Where's my pen? So this man is a single father of a four-year-old son. He takes this dude everywhere, hunting fishing, shed hunting, all the fun stuff. However, he just took a job. Wait, hold on, I never said his name. Thomas from South Carolina. Hey, Thomas from South Carolina.

He just took a job as a manager with Waffle House. Thomas. I'm into that. Hey, you need to get one of them in Scotland. You'd be a man there. Waffle House. Do you get a Walth House in the Scotland? Not even a millionaire, a millionaire.

They don't know how to do breakfast. James and culture. Change the culture. But apparently, make sure you ship in your grease and your salt. Yeah, you can't find that anyway. You've got to take everything wheat. Yeah, salt and pepper. Yeah.

All right. All right. I'm sorry. Well, we love Waffle House here. Preach. So he's, hey, look, best money he's ever made. He gets off work at three every day. He gets good vacation.

vacation time. Love it. Yep. But here's the downside. Him and his son have always gone to church together. He got to work on Sundays. A lot of Sundays at work. So he's struggling with the feelings he's having because he's battling two things in his head, leading by examples when it comes to going to church.

But also you've got to lead by example to be able to provide for his family. That's exactly right. Amen. And that's biblical. Both of those things are very, and the reason I told them in the break, I said, I got to question that I don't know the answer to and I'd kind of just like to kick it around as a group so he still reads them Bible stories

every night they still pray together out in nature I thought he was going to say every night when he puts them to bed but even when they're out doing the fun stuff but this has been a struggle for my man Thomas from South Carolina any input would be great and I'm here to tell you

I'm not sure yeah you got to provide for your family you do have to do that you do have to be a spiritual leader which he is being. And which doesn't have to take place in a church building. It helps. A lot.

But it doesn't. But it is just as important to me when I see somebody that lives outside of the church building like they do in the church building. So for his son to see him living it outside of those four walls, I think is extremely important. And if he loves his job and he's fired up and he's doing well, the time will come where he can make his own schedule and all of a sudden Sunday working won't be a thing except to cover for somebody. So you may have to take a short-term struggle

there for long-term gain of financial security for your home. But sigh's got something. And I'm eager. I love it. I think you read it, Jada, you read that going to church. Okay, there's no such thing in the Bible about going to church. Okay, Martin was right in what he said, okay?

You're already doing, you're worshiping God wherever you're at. You're doing it at the house, you're doing it with your kid when he's going to fix to go to bed. Okay, y'all are talking about it when you're hunting sheds or hunting deer or whatever. Okay. You got to realize going to a building somewhere to meet with the brothers that you're worshipping with. Okay, if you do it Sunday twice, morning and evening, and then Wednesday once, okay, that's just a minute portion of your time. Yep. The rest of it is spent at the job, okay, you're going to spend most of your time at work.

So that's where you let your light shine. Okay, when you're home with your son, just like you're doing. you're doing, hey, your act of worship is, okay, you worship in wherever you're at. Yeah, and if on Sunday mornings you want your child in church, odds are. Somebody at church or trache him. Somebody that you know will take care of that for you.

Whether it be as grandparents going to church with them, or whether it be neighborhood friends. I mean, four-year-old is like a really fun age, so they're like super cool to be around. Yeah. I mean, I love four-year-olds, like, From like four to eight, they're awesome. They start getting up tens, start getting a little independent.

They're like, hi, I'm out. You're going to have two of those ones. Side by side. But at four, they're like really fun. So a lot of people have volunteered to like, to help you out, especially at four. And I think that they would have no problem helping your son get to church on Sunday mornings and do them whatever until you get off or whatever. There's a lot of answers in front of you.

Like John Davis said, I don't know the right one. other than it sounds like you're doing the best. You sound like you're doing the best you can, which is the right thing to do. I don't leave a stable job at this point in this economy, in this world. Don't leave that because you can't meet for two hours on Sunday morning. You got a lifetime to be an influence on that child.

Those two hours. Go Wednesday night. Go Sunday night. Go Sunday night. Go Saturday night. When you get home on Sunday, Maybe you block off two hours and you get online and you watch church with your kid. There's a lot of.

This day and age, yeah, that's something like even back whenever I was working on Sundays. It wasn't really a thing. Now, whatever church you go to, one of the blessings of COVID, they online. They online. You can go watch it. And I appreciate him wanting to be there Sunday morning because I think it does help kids. I mean, I remember growing up Sunday school was fun. Yeah, it is.

You know, Sunday school was fun. I was with people my own age. We were learning the same things, doing all that. And I can appreciate that in the mark that it made in my life. So I get that point too. But you're doing all the right things, especially, I mean, the thing I love is when he said, what do you say? Stopping and praying in nature. Like when you're out there.

Oh, my goodness. I can't tell you how many times I do it. Turn around and look at the sunset, sunrise or something that just starts your eyes. Or daylight. Yeah. Or the deer just appeared out of nowhere. Amen. I didn't hear her coming.

Yeah. Well, I sound like a. A herd of cows coming through the woods. Or I was fishing with my wife the other day and a bunch of about 25 blue wing teal swooped us. And I said, that sound right there don't ever get old. It don't ever.

I mean, so you stop and in the wing. You take it in. I was thinking, man, them poor hen's about to have about seven, eight youngers to raise. I know that hen in the back of mine's. We've got two of them with her. So, you know, it's a... But you're on the right track, my man.

Proud of you, Thomas. Yeah, absolutely. It's a tough spot, but you're doing your best. Maybe that's all he needed was some affirmation that he is doing the right thing. Maybe that's the right answer. Maybe we help you with the perspective. He said any input would be great, even if it's not on the podcast, I'd love to hear y'all's perspective. There you go, but you got it, Thomas.

That's what we think. Also, Thomas says, side note, I've been through Monroe a good bit. Y'all definitely deserve a buckies. Thomas, I like you more and more. Waffle House, he thinks we need a buck. If you're interested in transfer and there's like seven waffle houses and then walking distance. I will pass three waffle houses on my way home. That's not even a joke.

That is not a joke at all. That's the truth. Ten minutes. Well, wrap us up. Get us out of here. Before we go, I got a letter. I got a fan letter. A fan letter.

Mary Eliza. There it is. I got it. He got it, Mary Eliza. Thank you. I just wanted to give her a shout out. Thank you for the letter. It was awesome.

Say you use a fine figure of a man. Fine figure of a man. He is. All right, Martin. That's what Paul will say. I got you a Bible verse, son. Go ahead. I think we've used it before, but we go use it again on a day like today.

Psalms 127 3 through 5. Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring, a reward from him like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver has two of them. It says it's full of them. but I'm going to say has two of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. Justin Martin, I am happy for you.

I am proud of you. And as a good friend of yours who's been watching you over the years, I know you are going to make a fantastic father. And I can't watch inside get all fired up. He's got me fired up. I can't wait to watch you be a dad. And I'm going to learn from you being a dad with my own kids, even though they're older.

I love you. You've taught me a ton in life. I'm about to scream. I'm excited. I'm sorry. I love it. Twins, baby. Well, let's have some fun.

Times two. We'll see y'all next time. Right here in the duck calling. We've got one. John and David? Or David and John. Or David and John. We're cool.

We're easy.
