Duck Call Room - Justin Martin Wrestles with Phil Robertson's Advice on Fatherhood
Episode Date: November 6, 2025Martin’s twins fall head over heels for a beaver they name “Crunchy,” and their newfound affection accidentally saves his life—for now. Clay blushes when the boys bring up his brief “modelin...g career” and the front-and-center posters featuring him at sporting goods stores across the country. John-David and his cousin-slash-best-friend Heath have a race, though the whole thing sounds a little pathetic. Martin recalls the time he got his hair beaded and braided on a cruise, but what stands out most is just how horribly it all went wrong. The boys wrap things up by debating the sanity—and practicality—of deep-fried pizza. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are we just going to try this?
Try what?
This podcast.
Oh, I thought we were doing it.
Oh.
Are we not?
I don't know.
All right.
Welcome back to the duck hall room, ladies and gentlemen.
Now we're doing it.
See, we've done our little, I don't even know what you'd call it, planning session maybe.
We really didn't talk about anything.
We have planning sessions?
Yeah, sure.
That's what I call the first 10 minutes when we get in here.
Try to figure out what everybody's up to.
But as you'll notice, we are Silas.
Merit.
Less, not Silas.
Scylis. He's in Texas deer hunting. So. And we found that out at 10 o'clock last night.
10 p.m. last night. Which gave us time to scramble. And we ended up with Clay and Heath.
So both have been on here, right? Yes. I know Clay has because we got we got ripped for
waiting 17 minutes to introduce him. He was just some beautiful haired man. So the question then is who's
the replacement? Oh, that is that is the question. I don't think you can.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not the replacement.
You are.
But who's the latest guy?
You know, who got called last?
And I bet that was probably me.
Oh, no, no.
Well, I think you were in with Zai.
Oh.
And then Heath happened to be sitting on my couch.
Yeah.
Whenever he was last night when we found outside wasn't here.
And I was like.
So then he would be Seiz.
Were y'all watching football?
Yes.
We were.
And video games.
We were watching football and manly activities.
Football and smores.
Oh, there we go.
Are you doing smores on the couch?
Outside count.
Outside count.
You got money.
You know, people got outdoor furniture.
What kind of question is that?
I mean, the kids were involved, so it made sense that we were doing so.
10 o'clock.
It wasn't just the two of us.
It was kind of cold last night.
Well, it felt like 10 o'clock because of stupid time change.
I don't think I can go down that road today.
Why not?
It hurts my soul.
You don't like closing the honeyhole in the dark?
Let's stop.
You don't like walking out of work?
Because I like politicians who keep their promises, and I'm just going to leave it at that.
Oh.
You know, I was told that was not happening again.
every year they tell me and every year I get excited.
If you're out there and you're thinking about running for office,
I will vote for you on that one thing alone.
Yeah.
Forget all your other principles.
Don't care.
Throw them out the window.
But that's on you.
You keep voting on it and they keep lying to you.
Yeah.
The problem is,
I don't even care which one they pick.
Just pick one.
That is incorrect.
There is only one correct answer.
I do like being,
I do like the afternoons because like me and the boys have been going to Pinocke
every afternoon.
I get them.
They're like,
go camp, go camp.
Well, now when we get over there,
I get back home and I still got
two hours till their bedtime. And it used to be an hour. Like, we'd get home, we'd eat dinner,
we'd take a bath, and we were in the bed. Now it's like, what do we do now? It's pitch black
dark outside. And it finally got a little cool here. So, you know, it's, it's, speaking to those,
I don't know. It is the fall officially. Speaking of those boys. Yeah, well, about them.
How late did you let them stay up on Halloween? No, they were in bed. They were.
Them kids got a bed of like 7.15. Oh, come on now. Oh, yeah. Well, when did you start trick-or-treating?
because I saw the picture.
Oh, we were well in the daylight.
We were the daylight trick-or-treaters
with worship music playing on turtle boxes.
We were going down the street.
Did you see the boys?
They were.
They were little duck.
Little greenheads.
Little Mallard Drakes, yeah.
I loved it.
Except I gave him a Mallard hen duck call, so they didn't know.
Okay.
But I got tired of what was a duck saying they were going to quack, so I was like, no,
you blow the duck call.
Like when somebody looks at it, said, what was the duck say?
You just blow the duck call.
So finally got them trained on that.
So you and mom dressed up as hunters, though, right?
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
I just wore work clothes.
I'll say this.
Your boys were adorable.
Yeah.
And then as it turns out, we had a friend Curley and his crew come over, not planned,
also to camouflaged adults with one little baby duck.
Oh, really?
And a dog.
So it was like, hmm.
It's a very popular costume.
I'm not going to say your neighborhood's name, but I bowed it.
You can say it.
No, it was, trick-or-tree was fun.
Yeah, we took, for all the people that have the nasty comments about Christians shouldn't participate in Halloween, we were playing worship music going down the trick-or-treating.
So we were out there shared in the love of Jesus while we were, you know, but I do have to work on my kids' evaluation of candy buckets.
Mm-hmm.
Because they brought back some trash.
Oh, they were just taking whatever was coming.
Oh, they just brought back the prettiest package.
Yep.
And I'm like, man, y'all, but they don't eat candy because Brittany won't give them any candy.
The only candy they get is from this guy.
I was going to say they don't eat candy.
They eat powdered donuts and they eat famous Amos cookies
because they're on the counter at the camp.
If you saw the amount of powder sugar donuts these boys can put down.
It is unbelievable.
Who doesn't like a powder donut?
I actually don't, which is what's funny.
Oh, they do.
You're like the, hold on.
I don't, I know.
I look like this and I don't like powder donuts.
And you're like the king of gas station pastries.
I don't eat them.
And that's where you drop the line.
They are very unhealthy.
No, I just don't like the way that they're like slobber stoppers.
As soon as you put them in your mouth, you're begging for something to drink.
Like all that sugar goes everywhere.
And they make a mess.
They do.
You can't hide the fact that you had that on the way home if you wanted to.
Like if you were in some kind of accountability.
We're not teaching Jackson to hide his addiction to powder sugar.
No, I don't care.
I'll let him thrive in it.
It's all over.
There's no hiding the fact that you had a powdered hostess donut.
Yeah.
And Wayland, he wants the famous Amos.
Yeah.
And so we open both.
Yeah, you go look on the dash of the side by side's down there now.
There's open packages of their snacks sitting on them.
Everywhere.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Well, you want to know what one of my favorite parts of the fall has been?
What?
When you walk into Academy, have you been to the Academy here?
It's a local store.
I think they sell hunting and maybe fishing stuff, but they're a cool store.
Even I go there.
And when you walk in the door, there's this giant poster of a guy.
a really tiny legs of a guy with really great hair and legs look at his tiny legs look at this guy
clay when did you become a part-time model when he started hanging around me i was just say you
hang out with martin too much and your leg shrink and he he just put you down to whatever size
that's the first thing you see when you walk in westman rose academy pretty much pretty much all of
pretty much all of them i had no idea but i'm getting calls from south carolina and
yeah pretty much all yeah okay well me we went to buy some baseball stuff and i'm going to just play
this video because this was what my son immediately said. Uh-oh. What did you just ask me? Is that sire?
Is that sire? No, that's clay. He thought that was like a young siretso. So maybe you are the
replacement. I have been called a crazy uncle. Yeah. There you go. There you go. But I, I've laughed very
hard every time I go in that store thinking that a child thought you were saying. My favorite part is,
specifically mine. It's the tiny leg. I mean, that's always my favorite. I mean, that's always my
favorite part. I didn't realize those were legs. I mean, they're so small. And for folks at all,
he has very normal sized legs. Not compared to y'all. It's just the way that the picture and the,
how tall are you? He, I'm six four. Yeah. Six two. Yeah. Yeah. No. Or five, whatever.
I'm, I'm tiny compared to y'all. Y'all are all huge. But not that tiny. But you're not,
I'm not that tiny. I'm not that tiny. I'm six foot tall, but I'm looking up to you. We really got to
work on your calves. I've got a jump rope. Somebody skips, somebody skips leg day.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah.
That's all I'm getting.
Oh, man.
You can get on Heath's workout plan.
It sucks.
Come on, let's do it.
Uh-oh.
It hurts.
I didn't hear about this.
So Heath's an old man now.
My best friend is 50.
I am.
Wait, wait.
What year?
What year?
What year?
75.
What day?
August.
He's young, January 30th.
Okay.
So,
he plays the old man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
why are both of our best friends older than that much older than us?
That's a weird thing that we've done.
Yeah.
Because we're old souls.
We are.
Our other best friend is 78,
Yeah, I've found that I have to be, I found that I don't do well with peers.
I'll just be honest.
Like if we're plus or minus two or three years, I'm not in a good spot.
Like, it's just not, we don't do well.
So either much older or much younger.
I love kids.
Like 12 year olds.
Even four year old, three year olds.
I got a couple of them.
Like, we get along well.
But outside of that, the closer we get to be in a peer, the more I struggle.
I don't know what it is.
I don't, I have no idea.
Well, yesterday.
He's struggling.
I'm processing this right now.
I'm sitting here going, I'm 10 years older, right?
Yeah.
But does that mean that I'm that much less mature or he needed the maturity in his life?
Well, that's it.
Now, the problem is, is your best friend and your wife are both 40.
Ah, that's not a problem.
That means that I like, I'm immature, though.
That's where it is.
Because if they're old souls, what does that make us?
Immature, I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All your friends are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Yeah.
As the leader of the pack.
Absolutely.
I'm saying we're all young and stupid
I know I didn't realize this about myself until now
sometimes you want to be the smartest guy in the group
exactly
well you got that
low bar
but yesterday me and Heath were about to watch Saints game
which is obviously going to be a good time
and as we had like 15 minutes
and say let's just run a mile to end it
because it's the one thing I can beat Heath at
yeah we've never
as our friendship has progressed
we've never said hey let's run a mile to end the day
Well, he'd already had me lifting very heavy weights.
No, we always argue about who's going to walk and get to Ranger or the Kawasaki.
I ain't walking.
If I walk, I'm leaving.
When I get there, I'm leaving.
I'm not turning around and coming back to get you.
It's who's less injured at the time.
How do you feel right now?
How are your knees?
So my whole body hurts because I've been lifting all the heats, very heavy weights,
trying not to go down too much because it's embarrassing.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
But that's shot out.
No, you do.
But every time you change plates, though, you get a breather.
That's right.
Don't be afraid to go down.
So then I'm like, we're going to run and I'm going to whoop him.
We're running, starting strong.
It was a jog.
We started with the job.
It was a job.
Light jog.
And I can tell my old 50s catching up to it.
We get to the end and I'm like, I'm about to just leave him.
I knew he was doing this.
I could sense it coming.
Sam bagging.
Yeah.
And I'm breathing.
I'm singing while we're running, trying to prove a point, being that guy.
Oh, yeah.
And then there's this thing in old men where they cannot let you win.
Can't do it.
Oh, yeah.
Can't do it.
And I start sprinting and his big clunky feeder just right at me.
And I'm like, well, he slowed down.
Then I realized I'm about to fall over and puke.
And he's going to die before he lets me win.
I will die before I stop.
So I stopped and he beat me.
So a 50-year-old man is in way better shape than me and I'm sad about it.
Wow.
It's a good time.
That's fine.
You shouldn't be sad about it.
You should say good for him.
Well, good for you.
They give you something to aspire to me at 50.
I wanted one thing to beat him at.
No, no.
Keep them coming back.
Get him jump rope.
You can beat him there.
That's because he blew out as Achilles.
See?
It's a easy win there.
I didn't even know that, but there you go.
That's an easy win.
Yeah, the day me and him start racing each other on a one mile run is gone terribly wrong.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was one of the look behind us.
But y'all's friendship is so good.
You wouldn't need to tell him about duckstamp.com and I would have to tell him about it.
Absolutely.
That's exactly right.
Heath, you got your duck stamp yet?
I don't.
But tell me about where I could go if I wanted to get one.
You go to duckstamp.com and it's right there on your phone.
can pull up his duck stamp in 0.2 seconds flat.
Watch this.
Boom.
That was a little longer than 0.2 seconds.
But it is there.
I'd accidentally double tap, so I had to go back.
There it is.
Get your duct stamp at ducstamp.com.
It's super easy.
It's digital now.
Clay, you got a lot of people coming to your camp, so you're going to need that handy.
And it's the first year I did it, FYI.
I always love buying the duck stamp at the post office because you actually get the physical
copy.
But they actually mail it to you.
They just wait until after seasons so that you can't.
Two people can use it.
That way you can put it on whatever you decide to get it.
And I love it.
All right, look, springtime is here.
It's warming up.
You know what that means?
That means more outside cooking.
And y'all know we love to eat beef around here.
And that's what because of our friends over at Tritels beef makes such a good product, baby.
Ain't it good?
It's so good.
Our friend, Sao Robertson would say, buy on the grill.
Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day.
and you never really know where that beef comes from.
But with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.
Tritails 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 ribbons on the grill.
Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire.
That's all you need.
Look, because I tell you what.
when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference.
The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic.
So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails beef.
I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat.
She isn't a big meat easier, folks.
Yeah.
Just go to trybeef.com slash.
That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.
You're just an eclectic.
No, no.
That hair.
Accentric.
Accentric.
I like it.
It means something different, doesn't it?
I don't know.
But I always, I always describe him as eccentric.
I love it.
I mean, you got the locks.
You got the curls.
You got it all.
The goatee.
Yeah.
The props.
He's got so,
he's got so much stuff.
Hence, I would have brought you props.
I got props.
The reason he knows where this is is because he just cleaned out his house.
Oh, y'all.
And the reason I just cleaned up my house and I will tell you,
it's because I, Sunday morning, I go out,
I have my obligatory first cup of coffee and I'm sitting by myself.
Obligatory.
Obligatory.
It's okay.
I need the work.
I'm used to changing a guy.
I love it.
See that's a little more like sob, but anyway.
That was a,
that was a bigot or a rucker statement, too, as we had in a minute.
I love that.
And so I'm drinking my coffee and as fast as it goes, a little gray dash through,
through my living room.
Oh, yeah.
Mouse.
We know what that is.
Uh-huh. Yeah, it's over.
What's wrong with that?
I told him, I said, when it gets cold outside, they come inside.
They ain't trying to be coming in.
Say a mouse running through your living room.
Yeah, negative.
Not going to happen.
Do you know how many lizards live in my kitchen?
I'm fine with lizards.
No.
I'm fine with geckos.
I'm fine with canals.
No.
I'm fine with all those things.
Zero mice.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yep.
Yeah.
No.
And so you just cleaned out your whole house.
Pretty much.
I can tell you this.
The downstairs is for sure.
Crystal clean now.
Cleaning the garage.
No mouse.
No mouse home.
No, Mount.
Lots of...
I don't want no mouse in my mouth.
Yeah, feces.
I would scream.
Right.
No, it was brutal.
Martin would pick it up by his hands and release it back into the wild.
I would.
I would eat it senseless with a very long broom.
It's not his fault.
Let's say why Martin came...
It's not the mouse's fault.
Then whose fault is it?
They got to learn, Martin.
Well, they do.
I help build the house.
We have foam walls.
We have everything sealed.
I have no idea how he got in.
Which means I don't think he can get out.
Oh, he can get out.
Oh, no.
Trust me.
If you can get in, you can get out.
Yeah, he can get out.
Unless it's Angola.
Yeah.
He may have just been running supplies.
He may have just been on a supply run.
Like, I'm coming and get some nuts, take back to my family.
Well, he came out from under the couch.
And so I had to immediately look there.
Have you not seen every break-in movie ever?
All the burglars get under the couch.
Oh.
They let trouble pass and then there they go.
So do you name your mice?
Like you name your beavers?
I did not name the beaver.
You named the beaver.
The boy.
boys named the beaver.
I don't know what they're talking about Heath.
Yeah.
And you feel me?
I need some context here.
All right.
Us guys that like a jog don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
If you've seen my Instagram,
we've had,
so we're trying to move water for ducks,
right?
Like,
let's back up.
Context.
Phil Robertson known for,
Cy Robertson,
known for,
and killing beavers.
Bevers.
Yes.
Bevers.
Ducs was a beaver on that.
Episode one,
season one,
Duck Dynasty.
Go watch.
What is Uncle Si do?
doing with Bill.
Beaver is the greatest problem known to a duck hunter.
A duck hunter.
Thank you.
Yeah.
All right.
So we have a beaver.
Mm-hmm.
One.
Male.
At the camp right now.
Young male.
Trying to establish him a territory.
What's wrong with that?
He's blocking the water.
This is, we're coming up on duck season.
He's blocking the water to go into the duck land.
Well, see, the problem, the boys are all into haul patrol and rubbling crew.
So on there, that's two shows.
Sorry, Heath's, that's, yeah.
Heath's kids are all in college.
My kids are older.
I have that too, but I also have a five-year-olds.
On those two shows, they have a beaver that is a nuisance, but they just call him crunchy.
So when I said we got to unstop the pipe that the beaver, they started calling it crunchy.
Oh, and now you can't kill him.
Oh.
I can't shoot something with my kid.
I have no problem shooting him.
But when we saw him, they were there.
He's been dove hunting.
And they won't.
He can shoot something.
They've never named a dove.
Sure.
You can't name something with a name.
You can't name something.
You can't name something with the name.
And when I saw him, I said, oh, there's the beaver.
And they said, oh, we want to see Crunchy.
I can't just.
Oh, that would have been the best life less than ever.
There would have been tears.
No, they want to put Crunchy in jail because he's being bad.
My papo had a taxidermy at his house when I was growing up.
You could have shot him, taking him to the goose, waited six to eight weeks.
I can't do it.
permanent jail. Put them in your living residence.
I can't do it, man.
I couldn't do it. Not with them naming the beer.
I couldn't do it.
He's killing.
I could not do it.
What would Phil Robertson say right now?
He was laughing probably as soon as they named the beaver because he knew.
Awesome.
And, you know, I'm not going to say Phil was necessarily a gentle parent anyway.
So Phil would have taken the opportunity to shoot, said beaver, and then go grab its genitalia and talk to a three-year-old about, you know, the birds of the bird to be.
You want to see this right here.
This is where little beavers go.
Keep that little beaver in your pocket and you won't have to worry about it.
You know?
So,
like,
I don't,
I don't know that parenting 101 is,
should be consulted from Phil on everything.
That's,
okay.
Well,
that's the reason,
Jace is the way.
But I will say this,
land management 101.
Yeah,
what happens to the lake?
You kill every beaver.
No.
Not crunchy.
Not with the kids.
If I go back there right now and there's crunchy,
I will shoot him.
then we will magically never find Crunchy when we go back down there.
Okay.
So there's a plan.
It's just the kids aren't around.
I just can't be,
yeah,
I can't let them watch me shoot Crunchy.
So you came yesterday without the boys to go see Crunchy's pipe?
No,
I come back with the boys.
They wanted to go see Crunchy's pipe.
So we went and saw Crunchy's pipe.
The first thing they said this morning.
Intimate relationship with Crunchy the Beaver and he's killing me here.
Well,
the first thing this morning.
He called it an intimate relationship.
He's a cool beaver,
man, Crunchy.
Oh, my goodness.
I may get him mounted because now there's.
a story but you know i may bring crunchy home one day under my arm and that may be the i may be the dad
of the year i don't know i will pitch in a hundred bucks to the taxidermy of crunchy you have my word
i'll pay for it all no but i'm doing in my hundred right now because if he's i don't know how much
a fever mount call it's a one will get out of here i there's my hundred dollars it's way cheaper to pay
the taxidermy bill than to pay the excavator to come keep digging the pipe out that's the difference
between me and Clay, I would have to, like,
Venmo you or go find some money, go
find my shoebox. Clay just pulled it out.
That's why you have an older friend.
There you got cash. We still believe in cash.
Wisdom. Absolutely.
That's why Heath's here.
Did you go to go to the grocery store yet?
Huh? Okay. I'm going.
But you have cash on you.
Absolutely.
See?
He's all the way here from Georgia because he's a stand-up
comedian doing a little bit tonight for a church.
Real?
Tell me about it.
Yes, yes.
Going over, can I mention the church by the name of Christ Church
here in?
Westman,
I'm doing a little volunteer appreciation
down at the West Monroe Convention Center.
He's a stand-up comedian that does commercials
with Peyton Manning.
What's your best friend do?
Hey, uh,
I'm in the academy.
I mean,
we're just,
your fellow actors here.
Yes.
They're both paid actors.
We're the same.
We're the same.
Yeah.
They're both right where you want to be.
Well,
that was fun.
All of the fun,
none of the responsibility.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, absolutely.
I do want to know if anybody was watching this,
like, I've seen that guy somewhere.
And then they said,
that's the guy that makes fun
of Peyton Manning in a Nestle Tull House commercial.
That's it.
Or they could say, I mean, they could say most of ours are probably still watching that
we're on the Duck Commander Cruise.
That's the guy that hosted us for a week at sea.
Oh, yeah.
If you were on the Duck Commander Cruise, I was your host on either of them.
Yeah.
Both of them.
That was a good time.
I still think about when you got those beads in your hair.
Yeah.
And they tried to beat me out of like $300.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You had beads in your hair?
I got, I got.
Three of them?
I had a little hair then.
Yeah, there was more to work with.
Now, granted, I will say most of them were from ear down.
He's not a lot of product.
They were in the back.
Yeah, exactly.
Where do I tell you about this one?
You go duck at checkout.
Oh, you'd have to go back and do it, though.
Yeah, I'd have to go back in time before my head turned into Mars.
Yeah.
You know, just little pockets of water every now and then.
The, no, yeah, I got, I stopped at the little tourist trap, and I thought braided hair
on me would be funny.
It was.
And it was funny.
You have no idea how bad that crap hurts.
I've never done.
They pulled my scalp so tight, which I have a lot of head, size eight up here.
I couldn't, I couldn't take it.
I was like, Brittany, cut these things out.
I cut my hair, just get this out of my.
On the cruise?
Yes, I had such a bad headache.
It was like the shortest live braid job ever.
So, because they had pulled the, the braids so tight.
They had my seven strands of hair on top.
tight. Like you, I swear you could have played a guitar on them. Like, it, it hurts so bad. So then when I, now when I
you were on a Duck Dynasty cruise. Yeah. And that took, he could have auctioned those off. It took hours.
And he was on stage with the beads for 10 minutes. Yeah. And that was like, nice out.
I mean, I had such a bad headache. It was miserable. I know. I, my hat's off to people that
wear that every day. I don't know how they do it. I've never done anything with my hair except
sometimes I watch. If you end up on a cruise ship. Yeah. I ain't braided it. No, you'd have been there for
12 days as much hair as you had. There's no way you could have. Oh yeah, it would take a while.
It takes me a long time just get a haircut, which is why I didn't go for, you know, 15 years.
You could have braided your beard. Your beard's even thick. Yeah, I got a lot. And high.
I got a lot to work with. Yeah. Hair not to work with. Yeah. But it's only about, although
I'm going to open up about something that's been bothering me again. I've been doing
this lately on the podcast. I'm getting these weird new hairs on my shoulders. Oh, that's fine.
They eventually fill in. Okay. I'm just, y'all are older than me. I, you know, I wear a lot of
basketball jerseys around the house. It's kind of, they're comfortable to me. And now I'm looking
down, I'm like, you're about five years away from that being hairs to hamburger meat back
there hanging out the side of your jerseys. Yeah, it's a lot of like weird, long black. And I'm like,
I don't think I like this, but I'm. It's like they show up fully grown. Yeah. Like you, yesterday you had no
hair. Today, it's two inches long.
Uh-huh.
It's weird.
And there's like a dozen of them.
Yeah, you're one step away from adding a gold chain to your repertoire.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
Gold chain and back hamburger meat.
It's a tale is old as time.
36 is weird.
I just started back at the barber, and then I invited Sai with me.
And I get it, me and Zah are going to get a haircut on Wednesday,
and I have to, you know, text the walk of shame.
Like, hey, sigh can't make it on Wednesday because he's in a different state.
I didn't know it.
And I thought they were going to, like, charge me.
That's I didn't know.
But they didn't.
I was early enough.
24 hours.
So no cancellation.
No can.
Which I get.
Like they were booked up.
Yeah.
Because aside.
But if you need a haircut, go see Zoe.
She's open on Wednesday morning.
Morning at night.
Two spots open.
She just got, no, I'm going to get my haircut.
Are you still going?
Okay.
It's my thing now.
I go to barbers.
It's weird, but I do it.
I've done that all my life.
Have you?
Had to.
Do you still?
Curly hair.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've gone to the same guy.
I'm old now.
I'm going to be on the same guy for 20 years.
His name's David, by the way.
Your hair is to your shoulders.
All right.
How often, like, once a year?
A great question.
How often does, I don't understand Barber Snob.
You see them highlights?
Yeah, you got to, oh, I don't have any highlights.
Are you colored in your hair?
I was wondering, Martin, I'm glad you said something.
Because I didn't want to be the one to ask, but they look great.
Yeah, two 50-year-olds, y'all are both got a little gray in the temples.
He's keeping them covered.
Oh, always call them Froston, too.
No, I don't know.
His hair's a direct.
Reflection of how much time he spends in the sunlight.
It's crazy.
Oh, yeah.
Like, if it, like, during the end of the duck season, it's dark.
Really?
Is this cloudy, rainy, just not out there much?
Like in the sunbleech.
Summertime?
Summertime, it turns a wonderful shade of gold like you see here.
And it's getting more gray now, too, though.
I mean, I'll be honest.
I'm with you.
You're almost 51?
That's halfway to 100.
Anyway, how often do you go to the barber?
Once every three months.
That's somewhere I can learn a lot.
Once every three months.
Wisdom.
Okay.
Because I like when the sides get really long and you can't see the top of your ears.
You got to remember something too.
He got a 40-year-old wife.
So he got to stay.
He got to keep it up now.
Oh, yeah.
The hair, the look.
Sorry.
I didn't mean that in another way.
We don't, we're not sponsored by hymns or anything.
That's a different doctor.
But if you're listening, call Hunter and make it happen.
We'll, we will make a great commercial with that.
That would be the easiest one ever.
I'd love to see Side do that.
That'd be fun.
No.
No, never mind.
Don't call.
Don't call writer fast.
Just do the commercial and just put it out there.
Yeah, just say, we're going to give you this one for a free.
Yeah.
See if they pay.
I'm uncomfortable.
Well, Sa's wife's way older than him.
Did you watch the episode where Sy and Christine were on?
How old is she?
I never ask a woman that question.
How much older than Sy is she?
Let me tell.
We were sitting here and Sae, I can't wait to be of this age where I could do something like this on camera.
He says, yeah, well, that's because you're a cougar.
Okay.
He called his wife a cougar for, I don't know how many people listen to this,
but it's more than a couple.
And then just started dying and laughing.
And, you know, Mr. Christine's like, I'm only 18 months older than that.
Oh, you started with 18.
I was like, ain't no way.
No way she's 90s.
Yeah, she's not.
Ain't no way.
But size into older women, just in case anybody's wondering.
18 months older, yeah.
And I love just whenever that show came out, Duck,
honesty, right? That show. That show. You guys heard of it? I'm telling you, no one realized
I was married. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, he was the world's most eligible bachelor that had been married
for 50 years you've ever seen. So, like that to, I remember that stage. And that was so much fun.
It was weird. It was hilarious. Almost weird is the broken decoy that's been sitting on the desk for all
this time. Is that here every week? No. Okay. Yeah, welcome. Anytime you're in here with Clay,
he brings a sack full of goodies and then it has like a metaphor with them. Oh, this is,
this is all not my doing. So you're a, Heath, you're a, uh, you're a comedian. Yes. I trade.
Okay. I guess Clay's world would be he's a prop comic. A prop comic. Yeah. Got to have it.
Because I didn't bring anything. So I'm, you know, I'm excited. Are you a prop comic? I'm not a prop comic. So
I've always wanted to work with one though. Are there different levels in comedians like, do
certain comedians look down on prop comics or are prop comics like, probably being or is there like? No, they're not. No, they're
definitely not the top.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, that's a wild underbelly I haven't gotten into.
We'll have to ask Mr.
Chris next time he's on too.
That's it.
He used to open for Chris.
Oh,
yeah.
He said he's super serious back then too.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
He's a serious guy.
Comedy is serious business.
You've got to do jokes and everything.
Got to make sure they're working.
That's my favorite when somebody's like,
I'm a comedian.
I'm like, make me laugh.
Yeah.
And then they're like, let me tell you about,
and then they get real deep on a sudden.
Yeah.
Let me tell you that's a personal pain.
Yeah.
So, Heath, you're adopted.
I'm just kidding.
I really was,
but we're not doing that.
That's a different story.
You were.
For a different time.
Yeah, that's a whole episode.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a whole coming together.
So, okay, so tell me about this broken duck, uh,
look at that word he used.
Duck, broken.
Broken.
Oh, it is broke.
It is.
It's 100% broke.
Yeah, I think.
Uh, we were walking through the woods this weekend and the boys.
And we were just looking.
Can you move it more in front of the camera?
Oh, gosh.
I appreciate it.
I don't know where the camera is.
Thank you.
Oh, hunter.
This dead center will be fun.
We're walking through the woods this weekend.
And I always call it treasure hunting.
Really?
We're really just picking up trash.
Like, just picking up trash because like to a three-year-old, you know,
a rotten can is treasure because it's shiny.
Yeah, there you can.
But when Wayland saw this, you would have thought that he found,
I don't know what.
like the Declaration of Independence if he was Nicholas Cage, you know, like, I mean, it was the, or if he was your son.
The forbidden city.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Carter once tried to sell the shower knob off the bathtub, so.
The president's book of secrets or whatever.
You would have thought that this was that.
And then so with that, Jackson got so excited that Jackson took it from him.
And that was the picture that I posted.
And I, but I just got to thinking about it, like, you know, we look at this and we see trash.
Right.
Like, I mean, he's trash.
He won't hold water.
He's been shot in the head.
He doesn't have a weight.
There's nothing.
He's got no paint.
He's not even a specific duck at this point.
No, he's just a body of a duck.
And that's what I posted on my Instagram was like,
it's kind of the same thing that happens whenever we come to Christ, right?
Like, I mean, we are this.
Every man.
We are this until we invite Christ in our life.
We are this broken thing that won't hold water that to most is,
useless, right? Like, I mean, we're just, we're a terrible form of what a human should be.
And then, yeah, if Christ came together and I guess I should have brought a whole decoy,
there's a whole one right there. And then you're just made news. I thought it was a cool
perspective that I learned from my three-year-olds on something that I thought was a piece of
plastic and we were doing good trash pickup and finding treasures. Now you're going to own that
decoy forever, or at least the next six months. It's probably going to live at the camp.
It will live at the camp, you know. And I think, I think,
think I thought about fixing it too.
I saved it.
I picked it up and threw it in the back of the deal so that because I was like,
you know, that would actually be kind of cool to show the whole transformation process,
maybe even repaint it.
But then I think it's probably a little more powerful just leaving broken.
Really.
If you know, because it gives you a way in if somebody comes to the camp that may or may not
know Jesus, you know, it gives you an easy.
Why y'all keep that broken decoy around?
Same reason you're here, buddy.
That's a Phil Robertson.
set up from way back.
So, yeah, and it's, but it's a cool piece of Americana, too,
because I don't know when this old flambo, Magnum Mallard was made, but there's a really strong
chance.
Is it stay that on there, or do you just, it's just, it's just flambo.
I know that it's a Magnum Mallard.
And I know that it's a Mallard, right, because it's got the curl on it.
But, um, curl.
But, I mean, there's a chance that this thing's older than I am.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
No, it's, it's, here's how old it is.
You know what it says on this side?
and there's a bug coming out of it.
I was wondering where those ants were coming out.
You know, this side, this will tell you how old this is.
This side over here says made in the USA.
I couldn't tell you the last time a blown piece of plastic was made in the USA like this.
A decoy made in the USA.
Yeah, man, it's a really cool, I don't know, it's just a cool conversation piece that I thought, again,
we were out there picking up trash because that's one thing that they can do.
I found so far they don't like cutting brush.
Not into that.
Me neither.
They're into just taking a walk.
Or a ride.
They'd love to go to ride.
And then they eventually want to get out and walk.
So like we'll just get out and take off walking through a stretch.
So as far as trash goes, it's as clean as it's ever been out there.
Yeah.
Because we're staying busy.
So finding treasures.
So yesterday they're there and the boys are there.
And I knew that I'm coming.
And so I've got to get my props together.
And so I'm working on getting the decoy and put it in from the mule into the,
or whatever that is, a ridge into the truck.
And Martin goes, hey, don't let.
Better be careful.
Don't let the boys see you taking their treasure.
Because, I mean, they get offended if you start removing their treasure.
Yeah, if you go look in the back of the rig right now, it is broken decoys, may pops.
They love may pops.
Little watermelons?
Little baby watermelon.
I mean, they're not really watermelons, but they're, I don't even know if they're technically called May pops, but that's what we've always called them.
I was telling them what a May Pop is.
Well, you step on it, it may pop, it may not.
That's what I would do.
Hey, hey, there you go.
Medians.
There's show business.
Yeah, that's comedy in the botany world.
That's good.
No, no.
I bet that crushes.
I thought that the Botany conventions.
With all the other biology nerds are like, oh, man.
This guy.
Again, I don't know if they're really called May pops or not, but that's what we always called them growing up.
Maybe some times called them dinosaur eggs.
Well, I'm trying to teach them about nature.
We did a good crash course on Johnson Grass the other day.
On what?
You teach about what you know about, right?
So like, this is all my formal training.
So, like, I'm just, I'm going to the place where I'm the expert.
I'm not trying to be anything I'm not.
There you go.
Even though I did find that big dummy caterpillar, I had no idea what that thing was.
but our friend that sent us the moth thing or whatever from way back when told me what it was.
He's so confused.
Oh, man, I found a big, yummy caterpillar, and I tried to get the boys to pet it.
They, mm-mm, mm-mm.
So, Martin's in a group on Facebook called moth and mothing.
Yeah.
Where they post pictures of moths.
Can anybody get into this?
Yes, absolutely.
All you got to do is go on Facebook and click join, man.
You can learn all kinds of stuff.
I'm also a member.
Okay.
I cannot add anything to.
But I tried by best not to subtract.
You observe.
You became a member.
I hit join just to, I didn't believe Martin.
Okay.
That there was moth and moth?
That there were just people out there sending each other pictures of moths
trying to figure out what kind of moth it was.
Why not?
Man, the natural world is incredible.
Okay, my way to you hear about PlayStation.
My wife has been on one of those, but it's snakes.
Like, you know, what is this snake?
Oh, I love those because all I like,
go answer them, but most time they get answer for it.
Oh, you're the answerer. Okay, yeah, we're the
question. But see, snakes, it makes sense because they'll
kill you, but moths, are we
worried about them in any way?
Well, they're pollinators, so, like,
the food supply in some shape, for, look at that big
dummy thing.
Hey. I mean, that's my
arm. As a, as a guy
who likes to show stuff on a screen,
maybe not have the backdrop of a caterpillar
as camouflage. Yeah, I know.
Hard to see. Yeah. Yeah, I'm aware.
But don't forget, he's six foot four, okay?
So that means that's not a small.
What kind of caterpillar is that?
It's some kind of sphinx moth.
Wait, it's a moth?
Yeah, that is a moth.
What's like a top of worm to do?
A catfish.
Thank you.
That's where the video ends because we had a little correction.
That was a nice little coachable moment right there.
Okay, we got to have a serious talk, Martin.
That's a nice little coachable moment.
For the listeners, Martin just showed me a picture of a mothed.
on his arm, or Caterpillar.
It was neat.
But I was about, I was like, okay, time to move on.
What we didn't know is there's a kid hit another kid with a rock
and then look up with the biggest smile on his face.
It looks just like Martin.
Yeah.
We had a real teachable.
That was the video.
We had a real teachable moment right there after that.
Bubble wrap get involved?
No.
No, just straight hands.
So as a person who's raised.
For both of them, because you saw what happened at the beginning of that video.
If you go back to the beginning,
beginning, you see whaling? He throws a rock. I've told him so many times, I said, Uncle Clay paid a lot of
money for them rocks and he's just throwing them in the water. And then piao! And then bop right on top of the
back. Look at the smile. A whole cane and able. Set up. Yeah. Holcane and able moment right there.
And if you have heard him tell these boys not to throw rocks, he doesn't do it once a day. It's probably
15 or 20 times. Yeah, we don't throw rocks. Don't throw rocks at the truck. Don't throw rocks at the
the side by side don't throw rocks at each other and he has yet to get the point it's a good lesson in
life but well they got a little they got a little goblin in them you ever thrown a rock
i know well goblin it's a good god ones that's funner than chunner and chucking rocks at a sign
it's a great time there's something immensely satisfying about taking a rock and hitting anything
with it oh yeah but and that's fine on free free range rocks but these rocks cost a lot of money as the guy
who's paying for the rocks.
Yeah.
Let me tell you,
I am not worried
about how many rocks
your boys throw.
I understand,
but I am.
I'm that tight.
That's why I'm sitting watching.
If I get invited this year,
I'm going to throw so many rocks.
I am that tight.
And that's between you and him.
And if you're three,
I'm good with that.
Yeah.
Yeah,
you probably play on a little bit
different rules than he does.
Again,
free range rocks,
pick one up and chunk it.
I don't care.
That's fun.
When I'm...
When I've been responsible
for part of the spreading
of said rocks
and watching all that stuff,
no, man,
I'm out.
Like, no, you leave that rock right there.
That's where he's supposed to be.
I do need to get a sign, though.
But they do pick up the...
It just says sign.
Yeah, just sign.
That way you can throw rocks.
Yeah, funner than chunking rocks at a sign.
You do that, I'm shutting up.
Yeah.
I'm here.
Gobwin going to live there.
Godwin is going to be...
I ain't ever seen Gobin throw a rock now to think about it.
That's fun.
Huh.
Huh.
Interesting.
I ain't ever seen Godwin do much real athletic.
I have a picture of Godwin wearing a black...
Uh-oh.
Mink.
Oh, there's another critter.
He looked like he's in the Russian mob.
A mink coat?
Yes.
Okay.
We brought in.
We were at a fundraiser.
And it was just, I don't know what.
There you go.
We got totally sidetracked there.
Martin saw a bug and was about to ask his Facebook nerd friends to identify with it.
No, I pretty much am a kill.
See, you're not supposed to be in here.
These are little black ant.
I'm telling you.
They're coming out.
You think that's where they're coming from?
Well, no.
I didn't think that until you said it.
Oh, Godwin.
He was driving, I talked to him earlier, he was driving Johanna to a doctor's appointment.
So, checking on the twins, man.
Checking on the twins being a chauffeur living a retired life.
What's the emperor now?
What?
You drove your mom all the way here?
Oh, that's true.
Yeah, road trip with my mom brought her back here.
Man, it was something.
It was.
It was.
So how many hours was that?
It was about eight hours.
Yeah, about eight hours.
I thought we were going to stop at Buckees, but I didn't think we could handle it.
You know, like it was going to be too much into experience for us.
But she did pretty good. She's 79. And, you know, as soon as we left the house, she wanted to go to
McDonald's. Like, my mom and I had role reversed. Every time we leave the house, she's, she's like,
can we go to McDonald's? And I'm going to tell you all right now, there's nothing that breaks me
more joy than to look at her and say, we've got food at home. It does my heart good.
He's just, Cynthia's just getting all the things she said to him back. I was a callback
40 years in the making.
Here they come.
Yep.
Here they come.
Take me to make,
we've got to put it home.
We've got put on an eight hour road trip.
Yeah.
Now we stopped.
We stopped a couple times.
But look,
it's been great.
As soon as we got here.
You can hold it.
He didn't say it.
No.
We stopped.
As soon as we got here,
I dropped her off with her friends.
And I was like,
you know, y'all don't get in any trouble.
I'll see you when we leave on Tuesday.
So she's been cutting up as far as I'm concerned.
I'm concerned.
or I got to have a friend's house.
That's at a friend's house.
Heath's stand with me, his mom's over to a friend's house.
I didn't know if we just pulled up in Ridgecrest and like, hey, that's it.
Oh, now.
Go find some friends.
Go make some friends.
That's it.
Don't come in until dark.
I hear Monday's bingo night.
Like, you know, I didn't know if we were.
Oh.
Oh, no, that's fun.
Heath, where's home now?
Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta.
Yep, I live north of Atlanta.
We were in Colorado for 12 years.
Yeah.
And moved over to Atlanta.
Love it out there, man.
Do you?
Yeah, it's good stuff.
I'm north of Atlanta, so I'm kind of in the mountains.
Okay.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yeah, you guys, you ever get over there?
Not around Atlanta proper.
I generally stay south of Atlanta.
Okay.
Columbus, Georgia area.
Yeah.
Down that way, so.
We're not far from Tennessee.
Okay.
So I'm kind of in the Blue Ridge Mountain kind of situation.
You're in between Chattanooga in Atlanta then and that stuff.
Yeah, Chattanooga is about an hour from my house.
Okay.
Yeah.
I got you.
Now, it's been a long time there.
Okay.
A lot of Chattanooga.
Heath was waiting at the Airbnb when me and my other friends accidentally showed up
at the Little Debbie Park, which was one of the greatest surprises of my whole life.
There you go.
Oh, yeah.
I was jealous I missed out on Little.
Have you ever been to the Little Debbie Park in Chattanooga?
It's an Udala.
Not technically north of Chattanooga.
It's just fun to say.
How do we do it?
No, I just like saying Udlwaw.
How did you know where Udlah was?
Because I got a buddy that lives on a lake right there.
That's fair.
Yeah, you take the Udliswai exit to get to his house.
He lives up in Birchwood.
Did you know about the Little Debbie place?
No.
I know it existed.
We've had many people email in and say,
y'all got to see this.
There's like life-sized little Debbie.
I guess they're giant because they're the size of you.
Life size would be normal.
Big Debris.
Yeah, they're big Debris.
Yeah.
And so when we pulled up, I said,
the guy that was driving was like,
does I say Little Debbie Parkway?
I said, stop the car right now.
And I will tell you where to turn next.
Did you all stop?
What did y'all stop there for?
Do you all stop at the chick-fellar or something?
Because that's where they're-
No, we turned the wrong.
It was a wrong move.
Oh, it was just wrong all around.
We messed up.
He missed the exit.
And it was like, take this one.
We're going the wrong way.
And then he's like, he goes, huh, it says Little Debbie Parkway.
I said, shut up.
Stop.
Let me get Google Maps out because we're close to something that we got to see.
Yeah.
To believe.
That's because of this podcast, I come to find out.
I had no idea prior to that that Little Debbie's based out of Chattano.
Their bakery was closed already for the day.
Otherwise, your 50th birthday party was going to be a real hoot.
Oh, man.
We knew we're going to have a fresh bake.
That's never wrapped.
Honey buns.
Well, I can tell you what we're going to do for hunting camp this season.
I have a new dessert.
A new dessert.
A new dessert.
That's not new.
There's nothing new under the sun.
You're right.
It's not new, but watch this man's face whenever I say this.
We're going to take the Christmas tree.
Okay.
The Little Debbie Christmas tree.
I already got something.
Freeze it.
They come out earlier and earlier every year.
I know, right?
Freeze it.
Start handing them out on Halloween.
pancake batter a little thick what no we're not frying oh yes we're right 100% that is what I'm doing
this year for season guaranteed you can deep fried pizza though ever done that no why not because I
haven't thought of it you should try it deep fried pizza what do you deep fried do you batter it yeah
whatever man that what a pizza roll is those are better deep fried than they are anything yeah absolutely
do you batter the yeah it's a roll no no you batter a whole johnny's works best
The one thing we got going on in this town is different-shaped pizza.
Oh, by the way, don't ever try to teach your wife to snowsky and say do the pizza
whenever she's from West Monroe.
Oh, that makes sense.
Should this keep going fast?
Killed me.
Yep, that's good.
Killed me.
Martin's never snowskied.
And I only did it once, but I'm trying to figure out what is.
To slow down, you want to make a pizza wedge.
Yeah, you're from Colorado.
The pizza wedge.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But if you say make a pizza and it's Johnny's pizza, you're gone.
You're racing to the bottom.
Jeremy Bloom's style
I had no idea
I don't even know what
pizza's rectangle
small and thin
that's why I teach my kids
about plants and not skiing
we made it 200 yards
down the mountain
and after 200 yards
I'll look at it said
let's go get lessons
to this
oh man
so anyway back to the fried pizza
I got it here
yeah you just take
whatever batter you may like
like 325 degrees
so pancake batter
Oh, 375.
Yeah.
Pancake batter on a Johnny's pizza.
No, no, no.
Pancake batter is more like your Oreos, your Christmas tree cakes.
That's your sweet frying stuff.
Yeah, you just, whatever you're going deep-fri-fried chicken in,
you put little eggs around a piece of pizza.
You got to let it get cold.
So you egg wash.
Yeah, you could.
Take a leftover piece of Johnny's pizza.
Cold.
I've never seen anything.
I've got some of the fridge right now.
I've heard of it.
I've not experienced it.
I've heard it existed, but I've never seen it.
I've never personally seen it.
Leftover pizza.
It's that rectangle.
Dip it in some eggs.
Dip it in your fried chicken season.
And then just drop that joker in until it's all crispy.
Okay.
Done.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm probably already halfway out.
Yeah, that's fine.
But because of things I tried in my life.
I'm already out of four.
Yeah.
Can I ask a question?
Yeah, we'd love to, Hunter.
Why?
Hunter, some people ask why.
I'm a man who asks why not.
what what what do you what's the benefit of this like what what's different happiness yeah
sometimes do you like living honor have you said spirit have you seen Jurassic Park
yeah yeah sometimes you just do it because you can that's right you don't ask why doesn't taste
better although the whole point of Jurassic Park is that you shouldn't do that yeah but I'm just
saying they didn't know it first off let me make something clear it doesn't taste better
but you I did get to eat it Hunter what I have is a lifetime of training
my gut to be able to take these things on.
I did not live a lifestyle that was quote unquote healthy or productive for quite some time.
So what did this doctor tell you?
Hey, bro, you need to lose 30 pounds.
What was your cholesterol?
I don't know.
I didn't get into small stuff.
Hold on.
I was only 30.
Yeah.
I was 26 years old.
I went to the doctor, said, look, something's not right.
Is this when they reversed your vasectomy?
No, that was later.
Wait, what?
children then.
We know too much about everybody.
Wow.
This is where you get,
this is why I have a five-year-old.
Okay.
You had a,
did you get it reverse on purpose?
Yeah.
Oh, okay, okay.
Yeah, he wanted to have a zone.
You can't reverse that on accident.
I mean, that's a great point.
He flew to Arizona to have it.
Dad's again.
Well, I was just trying to figure out why you would reverse it.
So you want to get yours?
No, I'm good.
No, no, no.
Getting mine done was was horrid.
No, no, no.
No, he had to stop mid, mid, because I felt it.
Like,
Yeah, we started.
And he said, I'm going to clamp on here.
And I said, let's, whoa, let's pause.
Can I tell you what a good friend Heath is?
That's the first time I've heard the story.
He didn't, he didn't give you that one laden up to yours.
If that was me that happened to right before you got, I would have told you to scare you.
You never told me that.
No, I held on to it, man.
Yeah.
I appreciate it.
There's some things we don't talk about.
That's the best weekend of my life.
Ice cream, TV, a little war zone.
Hold on.
What was worse?
Forward or backwards?
They were both?
It's always backwards.
They were both horrible.
Have you gone back backwards?
No.
Or back forward?
No.
So you're done.
It's no snip, snap, snip.
Yeah.
So you're just wide open right now.
Yeah.
You're just running a knife like this.
Okay.
Yeah.
There could be another kid coming.
Oh.
Because I'm not stopping.
Oh, wow.
Could you imagine having another one right now, Heath?
No, no, no.
We had a, we had a scare about four.
Not a scare.
I love my wife.
We've been married for a long time.
That wasn't just an issue.
I wasn't terrified to have a child at 46.
What?
We thought.
We thought.
You're just, I'm learning so much about my best friend on the spot.
Man, there's something about these lights and microphones.
That's it.
I know.
Four years ago?
Yeah.
You'd had a kid younger than men?
Uh-huh.
That'd have been hilarious.
That would have been wild.
That's not that funny.
No.
There's a guy who's got too younger than you.
Martin's terrified of a third.
We're going to get them there, though.
I got a doctor in Arizona.
I got this friend.
He can hook you up.
Or, yeah, actually hook you up because it's unhooked.
Hook your backup.
No.
No.
Nope. Nope.
I'm not saying it won't happen.
It just ain't going to happen via that route.
You do another one?
I'll do another one.
What kind of deal is that?
No.
Well, this isn't cocaine.
I dare you.
Cocaine's where you win?
I mean, I'm not saying.
Me and Heath were like, I'll run a mile.
If you run a mile, y'all are over there like, cocaine and a kid, man, who's in?
I am if you are.
I got stuck on the snow skiing.
You know?
Like, yeah, you do one, I do it.
No.
All his relationships different than art.
We're just out there jogging.
You're like, you want to get a reversal together?
No, I've already had it.
You just want somebody else to do.
You want to have another kid.
Yeah, he wants to get back at all those times I told him he was having the world's dumb
of surgery.
And it was.
And it is.
But his kid's great.
Hawkins is great, man.
And I love it.
Hog daddy's fantastic.
I told him the other day.
He said, I want another little brother or a little sister.
And I said, if you do, he goes, yeah.
I said, okay, that means mama won't be able to be with you.
at this and Mama won't do this anymore.
Mama don't want to do this anymore.
And he looked at his mother and he said, Mama, you do that to me?
Now, Hawk Daddy does have Rhonda's full attention.
Oh, man.
There you.
Yeah, so, yeah, that'd be a struggle for him.
Mama, you'd do that to me.
Nah, he'd just end up like my middle child.
It's just sister pushing him out of the way all the time and it's what happens.
How did you become best friends?
Well, we're double first cousins.
Double first cousins.
Okay.
Are you all from Arkansas?
No, we're from Westman.
We are from Louisiana.
Well, you're from.
I'm from South Louisiana.
He's from North Louisiana.
That's a real long episode, though.
That is.
Yeah, we can't get off into that.
But someone argues it's its own podcast.
It could be.
Yeah.
It very well could be.
Yeah, it's at least a two-parter.
But, yeah.
I have cousins that I'm not great friends with.
Now, we are, uh, so our, our parents are brothers and sisters.
Our dads are brothers.
You got to, you got to say it better, man.
You can't say it like it.
Our parents are all brothers and sisters.
It's weird.
We're all related.
Two brothers married two sisters.
Get close to the month.
Yeah, two brothers married two sisters.
There you go.
Is what ended up happening.
The older ones had him, the younger one's at me.
That's it.
There you go.
So the two brothers.
You know his father.
David.
David and Mack.
Mac.
Your daddy is Matt.
Correct.
Oh, we could have gone with so many different places.
Yeah, yeah.
But when I was talking about my mom earlier.
Inver Mall to see Santa Claus.
That's right.
Yeah, but his mom that he brought with him.
That's my, because I was adopted.
So that's my other mom.
See?
Or my mom.
Oh,
it was a whole two-partner.
So when I was like six, this 18-year-old kid showed up and was like, hey, I'm your cousin.
And I was like, yeah, but Dion Sanders is really cool.
And I was like, oh, man, this is the coolest guy I've ever met in my life.
Yep, best friends starting right there.
18 and 5.
Yeah.
So I guess I've been immature for a long time.
Makes sense.
And here we are.
Now looking back on it, it's like, yeah.
Oh, man.
Well, I guess we've got to wrap this up.
Yeah, we've been a little.
We've been a hot minute.
Good luck, Hunter.
Do not store up yourselves treasures on earth where moths and vermin destroy and where thieves
break in and still.
Matthew 619.
I say that verse because me and Martin are obviously very good friends and y'all have heard
a lot about our friendship.
But what we like more than that is our friendships that you might not know, Heath, Clay,
and others.
Yeah.
Store up yourself friendship and community.
Is moth in there?
Yeah, moth.
Oh, wow.
Moth and mothing.
I thought, yeah.
I thought that was just a subtle jab at me of your own, your own,
translation.
Okay.
No, no, that is...
That worked.
NIV, sir.
There you go.
You can go back to your mothing community.
Mm-hmm.
See that?
See what I just did there?
Full episode.
There you go.
We'll see y'all next time in the duck call room.
We're out.
