How was your birthday party? Well, first of all, it'd be rude. Welcome back to the duck call. We're here, and we're glad you're here, too. But me and Johnny D. would love to know about your birthday party that we weren't invited. And what a party. It was a poker game. And it was a big party.

And it was, this was by invitation only. Clearly. And there was only one thing, one rule will obey. Can I tell the rule? Yeah. Bring lots of money. Okay. And so look, people bought Sai in,

and so Sai had a stack like this before the game even started. And we order some pizza from Johnny's. That's got to be one of the easiest birthday gifts ever to give. Yeah. Cy buying in poker, because there is at least a 60% chance you get some of that back. Yeah.

Tire than different. And when he's playing with not his money, somebody cooked some sausages on the grill and brought them to us. So y'all had sausages, Johnny's pizza and poker. And Sweet Peep. And Sweet Peep hopped up on the table for about 20 minutes and wouldn't get off and so we just let him be.

J'all, wash it down with the ice cold glass. No, no, look, we had dealt the cards. He come up and laid down on the guy's hand. He ain't listening to it. He just made it crack on you. Well, hey, I ain't. Okay. He wouldn't get up off the cards.

No, the cat was like laying on table. I said, it's poker night. You got to get off. the table, dummy. Ugh, cats in the house. The best one of them left the screen door open because it was too hot in there, so they, you know, we had the screen door.

So, well, they come in and left it open. And he started walking out. And I said, hey, somebody grab it, cat. You know, when he reached out to grab this sweet piece of a cat. That's a mean, yeah. Who almost got bit by the cat? That was Blake. Yeah.

Oh, people have just regular names over there? Some do. You may know him as pork chop. Okay. I thought there was only like evil-eyed pork chop, doctor. Yo, he kind of just, you know, and put him back in the house. What did Christine do while y'all play poker? She goes in her.

No, one thing she did is she went in there. She said, sigh, credit card, please. Yeah, and everybody said, he was like, hold on. Hey, don't buy that. You know, everybody said, don't buy that. What did she buy? I think none of my business. He just gave her the card and kept playing.

That's the best time to probably take the credit card from him. So how much money did you lose? He won. He was the big winner for the night. How much? I want to know what. Sire, don't give him, don't tell him. We don't want the fans to know how much Sire won.

I want to know. That'd be bad etiquette. Bad etiquette, Sire. This ain't like kissing and telling him. Just say this, a guy called me after I'd done about 200, 200, 200, 200. And I said, well, okay, if you're going to be that dumb, make it 400 more. Well, he called me. We're at 800 now,000.

Thousand. Yeah. So he called me, and all I had was a pair. He had a stupid little straight. I said, I'm going to bust you tonight before you leave. Did you? He left broke. And squalling tires.

Yep. He screeched out of the out of the house. So we're saying, Northern of $5,000. No, I didn't say that. Oh, oh, okay. He said, no, I ain't said it. You said it.

So northern of $10,000? Oh, no. You're going in the wrong direction. Okay. No, he probably won about two or three. He was probably in for $1,500, though. How much of it was his own money? Yeah, profit was probably only four or $500.

He profited $1,000 before the game started. That's what I'm saying, but then he gave it back, and then he got some of it. It flip-flopping. Oh, I know. look. If you took it and... I've seen people in our comments and say,

I need help. Gambling is gambling. I'm like, y'all don't even know, man. This is like, you know, some people garden for fun. That's right.

I go fishing for fun. Some people garden for fun. This is legitimate entertainment for Silas. Corey would tell you a story when we used to play at Willie's house all the time. I would always show up early. So she was there by herself. Willie had gone somewhere to get something, you know,

and she hears talking. No, no, no. The house was too small. So she's up in the upper bedroom, so she hears me talking and was wondering who it is. She come in, and I'm sitting there, and I got five hands dealt out. And I tell me, all right, it's on you.

So what are you going to do? You're going to check, fold, or bed, or what are you going to do? My favorite. And then I do another voice and say, hey, I check. So did you get up and go to the seat and respond? Oh, yeah. Yeah. My favorite part is everybody thinks this is like what wealthy people do.

Nobody knows we're doing this one. We's poor. Real poor. Yeah. Like talking about, man, that $20 buy-in is the difference between me catching a ride to work one day this week or me being able to drive there. Yeah. And if you was an employee and if you was up and you said, well, guys, hey, it's 1230. I got to work in the morning.

You don't try to leave? The boss would say, no, you don't. You're playing until we quit. Yeah, he's trying to get his money back. I'm glad I wasn't around him, though. Well, no, because then one of the one of the time we'd bust him, you know. He'd call, you know, we'd bust him. Then it was, I got to get up and go get some more money.

And you'd see him, he'd walk in the bathroom and open the... You're talking about Willie? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He'd open the cabinet in the bathroom, the medicine cabinet. You'd hear a bunch of clanking and stuff And then he'd come back and say Okay, here's my $20 to buy you

Oh, the family picture on the wall in the living room Was always good for a Honda Oh, yeah, a Honda I don't know if it still is or not I don't go very much. He doesn't have money hidden in his new house No, he doesn't have to. He ain't got to hide it.

He ain't got to hide it from nobody. He just rings the bell and the servant brings out cash Sir, your cash. I don't talk about my old job. Somebody had to do it. But I do love it. So yeah, for y'all to get on side of them comments about poker, look, that's his form of fun. That's the one thing he does for fun.

Hey, and if you ever make it about the money, there you go. Beware. He got him. It's all I say, beware. Yeah. There's a lot worse. Look, I always looked at it this way. I'd look at it if you, if I went bad on our game, I may would lose $100 in a month.

And that's just if I really had a surplus of fun. That's a movie. a movie with your wife. These days, it ain't even a movie with your wife. You can't even get to dinner for that hard. My family spent $88 at the last movie we went to. Wow. And I was still hungry.

That's what I'm saying. It was just popcorn. It wasn't even food. So what's better time spent out there at a movie or a bar or something dropping a Honda or spending $100 with your friends that are in our case, but sometimes they would halfway turn into a Bible study? I mean, I know it's weird to think about a poker game turning into that. I can't tell you how many times that Jace would have a Bible study and then we would play poker after.

The blinds were 25 and 50 cents or we'd play a tournament and just have so much fun and get to meet people and build relationships with people. And even with Sive, that's a dollar, $2 blinds, really it's not about a bunch of money for sure. There's other games that you could do that in, but that's not what we're interested in for sure. Yeah, absolutely. And there was, you know, there was a way to get people in that disarmed them, like, to the Bible study. Because a lot of times we wouldn't tell everybody that we invited that that's how this thing was going to start. We just kind of, oh, by the way, before we get started. Yeah.

Well, what better way, you know, you're sitting around a table and talking about, you know, did you hear this? Yeah. Yeah. And it's, what are you talking about? I thought we couldn't play poker. We are. Yeah, we get there. It's your mother.

You're going to bat. Check what? You're going to. Speaking of don't gamble, look, don't gamble with your salvation. But you can lie at the poker table sign. That's perfectly fine. Perfectly legal. Is that true?

Huh? Hey, look, to be a good poker player, you've got to be able to tell a good story. You can tell a story, sir. You can tell a story. Yeah, whenever Jace plays with us, you know, he's the fun sucker. He's so serious. When Stein makes a move on him and, bluffs him out and then shows him the bluff,

he looks at Jason and says, hey son, there's only one actor in this family. Oh, damn. Hey, true story. Do you really? What does he say? What does he say? Oh, hey, there's so much fun to watch play poker.

Y'all've done it. I mean, when him and Jace are together, it is on like a chicken bone. I get nervous and what we leave. No. I don't like tension. I let you end on one hand. We're playing.

Okay. The river hit, you're fixing the hit. And Jason said, hey, don't call. He went all in. I said, oh,

I'm calling. He said, hey, he showed me the two cars in his head. He said, I got Quad-9. Don't call.

I said, hey, I ain't worried about you quad-nines. I said, if that's a sixth a heart hits you, and it's fixing the hit,

I said, I win the pot. You know? And he said, hey, I'm just telling you, I said, deal the six of heart.

I said, hey, your four nines are no good. I got a straight flush. Ten high. Is that a true story? Yeah. Yeah. You're so stupid. I said, yeah, I know I'm so stupid.

Look at stupid me. Just raking his thousand dollar part. Martin, I'm glad I did not get invited to this birthday. He called off his life on a one-outer. I love this man. I love it. I mean, and he says you got to risk it for the biscuit, boys. But hey, here's the thing.

No true words have ever been spoken. Well, no, no, here's the thing. I'm too tight to play with these boys. Hey, I knew the six of hearts was going to hit the boys. I mean, how did you know that? Yeah, that's what I can understand. I felt it because Jason was just talking. He had the force.

No way. Faith is being confident. Now, this is like Obi-1-Kanovi. This ain't from the Bible. I love it. See what I'm talking about. Poker comes up to, give me the definition of faith.

What is the faith? Okay. Yeah. We're getting dangerously close to having to go to unashamed and be talked to. Yeah, we got to go down front. I apologize for that. That's what makes us more fun. Oh, man.

Well, let me, I don't normally do this these days, but let me, let's take a break and let me recover from that. We'll be back at it. 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 because of our friends over at Tritels beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy 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 him. But with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.

Triedales 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 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 ain't a big meat eater, folks.

Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. When me and my band was writing songs. Yeah. I got to tell you something. Look, we're in the studio, okay?

We've written five songs. We actually wrote five, okay? Then we're in there and we've done the five. And finally, Bridget said, hey, to the musicians, start the music. So they start playing. And then she tapped me on the shoulder. She was behind me. She said, all right, cowboy, I'll tell your story.

So, hey, I tell the story about the part. poker game and squirrel hunting and all this other stuff. That was the sick song. I made it up and just off my head. Like a young P. Diddy over here. That's a songwriter. No, no. Because look.

And the funny part was Chad. I didn't talk about Pee Ditty anymore. All this stuff. Y'all, he's over there. When the song finishes, okay, Bridget walks over and gets behind him, she said, well, you think. And he looks up, he looked up and had a real stupid look on his face.

And he said, with just a little bit of work by me he said this is going to be started laughing he said this is actually going to be pretty good there you go but I just done it off the top of my head

no no lines anything written down should have sold your eyes to Taylor Shillip she just come out with another album oh it was hilarious yeah I don't know anything I've deleted all the stuff off my phone

I'm blissfully unaware of anything happening in the world anywhere oh you deleted everything thing? Just, it's all gone. If you need me, I'll be at the Honeyhole.

He asked it. I asked all of it. I don't even know what's happening. You'll join back up in October? I don't know. One thing slowed down at the Honeyhole. Maybe. When you're trying to make eight hours to get by?

She was screaming, and I said, what are you doing? She said, I'm cleaning up all this junk that people sent me on my phone. Now, see. People send me junk all the time.

Look, and she was, she was doing this. that for like an hour and a half, maybe two hours. Who was this, I? Christine. Oh. Yeah. Because I hear her phone, you know, she's got a little jingle or whatever.

It's buzzing, you know. A jingle, if you will. It's a jingle, jangle, jangle. And it's going off all the time. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I don't know how much one of them stupid things holds. What do you mean?

Megabytes. Isn't that what it is? How many megabytes it holds? Megabacks. No, man. It gets heavier. The more it gets, the more heavier it gets. Really?

Oh, I wouldn't doubt that. Johnny Deer, you want those people that's got like 7,000 unread emails. Do you want another actual number? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I have to read too many duck call room emails. Okay, not duck call room notwithstanding, personal. Yeah, personal phone.

Inbox, 8,210. Unread? 8,210? Yeah, okay. Let me go through them. The little red number. Yeah, there's one from church. right here.

I read that one. There's one from Merrill Lynch. How long do you... Two repote cards, not read. How long do you spend on that crap? 8,210. I didn't read them, so not, apparently not nearly enough. Yeah.

Yeah, but normally if you're reading them, how long do you... How long do I spend on like the duck call room a week? Yeah. On the duck call room, I probably... Not two hours. Yeah, depends on how fun the conversation's going. No, I just, I do, I don't know.

If you wanted to read through all my emails, but it's like Amazon, Apple, I don't care. I don't care. The Saints. No, I have to, I have to read everyone. I have to read everyone. I don't like the little message that's like. I have to clear the red numbers on my phone.

Oh, me too. Every night before I go to bed. I can. Here we go. You want to go through my phone? I actually have zero text messages. I have 13 missed calls or voicemails. Oh, wow.

I need to go through that, I guess. I'm glad I can't use it. If you didn't, don't leave me a voicemail. You should have sent me a text. I'm glad that won't work for me. Honor. That would be a headache. Honor, your new age, you're younger than the rest of us.

Are you a, you have all your stuff up to date? Are you on zeros on everything other than what may have just come through? Or you, one of those guys that's got an 8,000 number on their email inbox? Y'all need Robo killer. Robo, you are the Robo killer. Hey, I'm serious. When you started Robo Killer, that's when your phone broke. No, hey, that's my wife.

The same was the broke, broke the phone. You broke the phone from slamming it. Hold on, that's there. Hunter's a younger cat than the rest of those. Hunter, are you cleared or do you have numbers? I have 2,486 emails. Unread? Unread.

Why would you want to read them? Well, I mean, I don't usually, unless they're, like, business-related. I would spend 90% of my phone. But everything else has to be at a zero. Like everything else. Okay, a question for you. Yeah. Why do you have 2,400 and whatever emails?

If they're not business related, why are they that been in your inbox? Because some of them are unsubscribe. Unsubscribe. I try and unsubscribe from a lot of them, but a lot of them are just random. Let me see. It's like Amazon or Apple or Steam or. I would spend nine percent of my time killing all that crap. See, I don't want to spend 90s percent of my time.

I don't go to the barber because I don't like how much time that takes. Like Phil says, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, hey, I'd kill that stuff instantly. On Thursday, I got $20 a gas and had a buddy with me. He was like, you're not getting any more than that. I said, that'll get me to Tuesday minimum. Like, I'm not sitting there. I can't either. I got to fill it up.

Oh, no. I got to fill it up. No, you got to sit there forever. And I don't have a receipt. I must have closure issues or something. I mean, I've got to see something. Oh, no. I'm like,

Phillip, when you fill your truck up, do you, are you, I mean, I'm telling on myself here, I have to stop on double zeros. Oh,

no. I have to. I have to. I can't, I can't, I have to. Nope, that's funny way.

Like 20, zero, zero and you're done. That's fine. Yeah, but I'm just saying, zero, zero. But generally mine is, you know, run it until it shuts off because it's $87.0.

But then I'm going to the next zero. Oh, no. Like if it's 27 cents, I'm about to take my time to fill up your mother 73 cents. Hey, I've actually run gasoline out because I want to wait to hit the zero. I slow down once it tells me. Well, hey, I don't do it many times, but I have done it when I'm talking about, hey, nope, I'm going to next. Just go. That's an Axis one diagnosis.

But gas is so expensive. nowadays that you look whenever you only got like hey 50 miles so you got to go again you you drive a little you know less oh less pedal on the gas oh i remember when i first started and was driving and it was 32 cents a gallon i'd put i'd put in fill station and tell me 32 cents but i have to and look you are right it's more difficult today because with it being more expensive it is harder to stop on zero zero oh you got to be quick you got but unless oh yeah and if i get to zero one I got 99 more, boys.

I gotta keep going. So are there any other things in your life that are like that? Like, you know, if something happens to one side of your body, do you have to have it happen to the other side? What? No. Some people are like if they burn their right hand, they have to burn the left. That is not true.

Yes. I'm like that with my car windows. If I put it down on my driver's side window, I have to make the right side exactly the same. Well, yeah, that's because your ears are pop if you don't. I have no idea what we're talking about. Yeah, that's an air pressure. There's people out there that are like, oh man, I lost one of my fingers.

I better cut the other finger off on the other hand. They have an urge to do that. Some might and some may not. I'm waiting. See, I don't have that. You can go look at my office or the inside of my truck. But there are things that I am extremely weird about. Yeah, it just is.

I don't think I have any. It's strange. You know, like one of the things that probably the thing that annoys me the most about my wife. Oh, boy. I'm just going to tell you. Welcome to the duck call. Welcome to the duck call.

And I go from. This isn't a secret. We're getting in the meddling now. She moves stuff every two weeks in that house. Uh-oh. Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean?

Move stuff. Furniture. Oh, yeah. Huh? No. Moves furniture around. Martin. Moves the cabinets around.

Moves. I'm not kidding. Brittany. Nadine Martin. I don't know if that's your middle name. but it's what came to me. Get your butt in here. We have to talk.

Nadine, I'm going to ask. Constance. Nate, the inside of our house is in a constant state of flux. And y'all know me. Just get it right and let's just, let's just, let's go. One day you go get the cups and the cups are somewhere new? Uh-huh.

No, no, no, no. That's like, Chris. Yes, sir. Christine does not touch my table. She doesn't want to stick to it. She can't stand it. She will come tell me, hey, you either clean that, mess up and put it in some kind of order or I'm fixing to.

And I said, okay, I'll take care of it. Because, hey, there's nothing worse than, hey, you know where the thing's at. And then the first thing that happened is, because that's what I had to tell my maid. Don't fool it by a table. I'm concerned. I want to be able to when I pull the drawer open, if I can get my knife,

I can get my knife. It'll be there. No, no, I think I told this story. My aunt called that. Okay, she was married to Daddy's brother. Yeah. Nobody liked to go to her house. Why?

Because she was a cleaning freak. Oh. Germaphymed. I smoked back then. Those two things mixed well. No, no, well, she didn't mind me smoking, you know. But I sit there and light a cigarette. I flip an ash off of it.

Well, when I did, she'd pick it up, take it in there and wash it, bring it back dry out. I mean, every time I flipped an ash, she'd pick it up. Obsessive compulsive. Every one of these, it'd be taken washing. She'd clean the ashtray? Yeah. That's about how often Paula Gobwin changes your spit cup at Gobwin's house.

Well, no, no, because look, there it is. Turn your head away from it? Yeah, it's gone. Gone. That actually is my pet peeve, spit cups. That's because you were Willie's assistant. Way too long. It was gross.

And he will take a cup to the brink of its tensile strength. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm talking about before it just completely disintegrates, he'll get rid of it. Oh, that boy's nasty. I know. That boy nasty.

If you don't clean up your stuff, you are nasty. Bill Phillips, you remember Red Dog Bill Phillips? He was the worst. Well, no, because that's just bad hygiene. Yeah. People that spit in trash cans. That crap. Uh-uh.

I put a sign up at the Honeyhole. It said, if you spit in this trash can, meet me in the parking lot, signed John Day. I put my name on it and everything. Did you put your picture on it? No. And then it was for one certain employee. He stopped.

He just woke it because I have to take trash out every night. I'm sick of that nasty crap. You nasty? You hit the old cash me outside. That's for the people that are really tacky. Like if I have to, if I forgot something, and that's the only receptacle I have, I make sure to take my time and hit dead center.

Now, just go outside. I know. There's a whole world you can spit on. But sometimes you can't get outside. Yeah. So here's the other deal to that, though, because look, even when it's my own, I don't want to touch it. So I respect other people's. The trash man.

Here's the deal. There was a dude. There was a dude in the store the other day. And I was like, good night. This dude size of a small school bus or a big refrigerator, somewhere in between those two things. Large man. Not a lot of fat on him either. That don't work in your store.

Not really. He walks up. over there and I'm watching him and he goes to spit in that trash can and I was thinking, please don't read the sign, please don't read the sign, please don't read the sign, please don't read the sign. He was going to change you name. Hello, my name is Brian. I don't know who that guy is, but he don't

really mind it was a joke. John David's not in today. I can help you. Today's his day off, but I'll tell him you said help. I will tell him. I was like, he can spit wherever he wants. So, so after I quit this, which I'm coming up on five years now, but I couldn't stand to be around it. I can't stand

to smell it. I don't want to be No, no, I mean, you're fine. I'm just saying after you've been off up for a long time, it makes you sick. Yeah, no, I agree. I same way whenever I finally decided to quit having things on fire whenever I would drink. Yeah.

What a great way to say. Yeah, that was a good way to say. When I decided to quit burning things after the hours of 10 p.m. while I was consuming other things. In your lungs? Yeah. Before Christ, Jesus. Yes, BC, before Christ, 100% before Christ.

because there's a lot of bad decisions happening after 10 p.m. But that's neither here nor there. But no, once I finally was just like a way away from it, I was like, oh, good grief. Oh, no. Like, you know, it's wild. I wondered if when you, after you quit, Sao, did it bother you very much or not or what? No.

No, he just wanted one. It was a health issue. Yeah. So I just sat there. Hmm. Look at a little second hand. People say, oh, no, it don't bother me on it. I can smoke a pack right now.

you could oh yeah i don't know where to go hey no no i will buy you that pack when you're on your way out in that speed car where you said you're gonna you're gonna die we're gonna be like going we'll make a whole video or or while we're on that one last little woody roost you're talking about

don't do this at home i was like my father my father would have the ashtray with him and mama play a domino he had had the ashtray slam four and had like three cigarettes he had just lit took a drag off, put it on there. And it'd sit there and burn the rest of it up. And he had a lot of none, take a drag off, set it down. You couldn't do that today. That's a nice $10 a pack.

Oh, no, that didn't make it different. He smoked like three packs a day. Hey, in my grandmother's house, there were layers. She smoked all day, every day, and there were layers of pow-mow. Paul-Maw. Yeah, I'm telling you, layers. Un-iltered. You got a wedgy at some schools for saying that.

Just go. Yeah, when I hear it's what's so funny about that. The grandmamas, you know, that I was new. Yeah. Oh, they had, that's what, that was this. Sometimes they'd smoke it. Uh-huh. Sometimes they just busted open, throwing them out of the mouth and chew it.

Who's a man? Oh, no, I'm serious. Not me. She was. You know, I'm out. Oh, no. I've successfully got off any nicotine anywhere for like almost a year now. That's right.

Better than a stale way. Gain 15 pounds. Yeah. When you whoop caffeine, that's pretty big and too. Oh, yeah. You did that? How long has it been since you had a Dr. Pepper? I have not had one since the last dead duck season, so we're over three months.

You haven't had any caffeine? Other than unsweet tea. Wow. Unsweet tea at Mountain Opsignite Night. Hey, and look, unsweet tea is good for you. Yeah. Got a lot of enzymes in it. So, that is good for you.

Yeah, I've had no. Your whole digestive system, heart, lungs, liver, all. I've had no soft drink since the end of the duck season and don't think I'll have one. I told my wife, I think you can get off of them stupid Diet Coke. Yeah, I just, I finally decided that if that thing is that good, it can't be good. Yeah, Dr. Pepper. Yeah. I can drink them things.

A full-ended Dr. Pepper? Yes, sir. Yeah, that's not good. I can drink them things like folks drink cold adult beverages. Well, Dr. Pepper Zero. No. No, because I. See, no, that's like cauliflower rice.

If you don't give it up, just give it up. It's like that fake meat. If you're going to give up meat, you don't have the option to have a burger. Get out of here. Walk away from it. You and the Impossible Whopper ain't going to jive? No, just go eat a whopper. If you're off of it, you eat salad.

That's like Coke. They're better in a bottle. Oh, yeah. Basically, the one like you used to, it was 10 cents for the big Coke, and then the small bottle was like six cents. I'm a big fan of them 12-ounce can. I love a cane. It tastes better out of a bottle.

A glass bottle for sure. A glass bottle. A plastic bottle is like just north of Pepsi. No, no. It's got to be a glass bottle. What did you say? I said a plastic bottle makes it just north of Pepsi. Hey, no, Pepsi's good and the bottle Pepsi's good.

At the Mexican restaurant that I ate at last week. Pepsi is the worst in the world. The worst. Are you listening to this? I am. Hey. We were going to, Pepsi was going to pay for an ad, but let's just go ahead and clear the air. What are they?

Oh, they are the worst. We ain't doing it. Hey. I don't think they put in, what is it? Carbonated water to make the fields. Mm-hmm. They don't put it into that. I drink.

When you pop the lid on a Coke. Hunter. You drink Pepsi. I like, you do it. I like the Pepsi nitros. Huh? I like the Pepsi nitros that you, uh, boom. I think it's the cream one, I think.

That comes in like orange can. I found two Coke zeros in the back of a refrigerator in a certain tackle shop in this town. They were different color than the... Remember the black Coke Zeros? Oh, yeah. Yeah, so the expiration on them was 5 of 18. Okay.

Which would be, what, six years ago? Yeah. And I was like, I sent it to my friend who also drinks a lot of Coke Zeros. And I was like, hey, man. Hey, put that back up for a second. Kind of tastes like Pepsi. Oh, you tasted one?

Yeah. I miss the joke, but I caught the Rolex watch that you're showing off. Oh, shut up. Sorry, it's on my wrist. Was that today? Yeah. Yeah. There we go.

Oh, that's wild. I mean, I just saw the shit. I drank a six-year-old expired Coke zero today. Last time Godwin tried that with pickles, it didn't work out so well. Well, you know, I spit it out because it tasted, it legit, it tasted a lot like Pepsi. I'm not joking. Really? Yeah.

It's like syrupy and weird. I'm going to do a taste test on this show and get all three of y'all. No good. I'm not going to be a part of it if it's carbonated. If you bring in a Coke and a Pepsi and dare me to blind taste test that, I will ace that test because one will taste like garbage swill and one will be proof that Jesus loves us. The Pepsi is garbage. Don't get bacon confused in here.

I feel ganged up on. You like Pepsi? You weirdo? I'm sorry. There's going to be so many emails. You all want to hear the newest story from Carter? Yeah, absolutely. So this hasn't happened yet, but we're going to have to document it well.

He has a project to do in entrepreneurship. Oh, okay. It's a group project. So he interviewed my dad, asked him questions, and so what they do is they're selling snacks for, they get a $100 loan from the bank and they buy stuff and then they sell it. And they're selling it for Ms. Marty, the second grade teacher, she's got cancer. Carter all that's going to talk to Willie. Here's the deal.

Carter's got a group and they have a marketing campaign about selling snacks. It's called America's got snacks. They're going to have the president of the United States of America, aka Carter, show up to sell all the snacks to the kids at school. And all the other kids are dressing a secret service. And I was like, you are the coolest kid I've ever met. And you're going to outsell all these other kids hands.

That's pretty good. That is good. America's got snacks. America has got a brain on him. I'm telling him. They're going to make like hats like make America snack again. No, we're going to bring the snack back, boys. I mean, where can we spend this $100?

Can we donate to the call? I don't know if that's the rules. We're going to dominate. Oh, yeah. I'm thinking about driving my mom's suburban with the tinted windows and just like dropping them off at school that. Oh, put a little American flags on the side of the rig. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. If you don't do that, let me inside get that party bus, the black one, you know what I mean, that we used on the show. Remember that? America's got snack. And they don't sell Pepsi either because it's garbage. But I think he's got a chance to raise a lot of money.

Oh, that's fun. That's good. But the money goes to the teacher? Mm-hmm. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, it's a cool deal that they're all doing. That's cool. I don't know if it's a competition or not,

but we found out today that Carter's group of friends have decided America's got snacks is their business. Yeah. And it's all about the president selling snacks. Everything is a competition. That's just, that's true. That's life. I'm just, you know, well, for a while, people stopped keeping scoring Little League basketball for some reason. Yeah, well, that's because everybody couldn't count a six.

Like, I mean, it's like six to four. And then he were just sad that you sat there for three hours. So was, you only score, only saw tournament basketball, real basketball games with referee? I'm not going to say who it was, but I once went. I once went to a Little League basketball game for one of my little cousins in a church building. And I was like, what's the story? score and they're like we don't keep score for john luke and i was like sorry john luke i could do it and i was like wait so we just play basketball for an extended period of time and then we go home

and they're like yep and i was like you know this is real european of us i don't like it what if there's a tie how do we break it who wins who loses i think it's good for kids to lose that's the deal behind that what they're doing. Kids need to lose. Well, hey. That's the idea of what they're doing, though. Hey. That kids shouldn't lose?

Well, they have no, you know, if there's no scorekeeping, ain't no winner and no loser. You got to learn. You know what I mean? You got to win, you lose. When you're playing a game, you know if you want or you're lost. Most of those games are like that. That's right.

You're going to know. I mean, you feel like, yeah, we've got our butts. But I'd probably tell my team, hey, we beat them. We won. Look, I know they can't keep score, but we got them like 12 to 6. They can't win. Y'all go out there and play some deep. Sometimes you just need to get your teeth kicked in.

Yeah. Yeah, I learned way more in losses than I did in victory. 100%. Ben's and soccer teams should have learned a lot. Friends is for you. You know, who's the best team? They over. Oh, just trash every game.

Yeah. It was rough. It happens. I was on a couple of them teams. Not many of them. But I was on a couple. We're like, we just couldn't get right. It didn't matter.

Sometimes you just, the luck of the draw. Them kids are just older and bigger, and you just go look. And that's when you go meet with a coach and say, Coach, look, I got to play on this trash next year. I need you to draft better. Yeah. You need to get me some help. Like you did pretty good picking me. Yeah.

But you got to get some, I need some help. Like this kid coming up, I know him. He's good. Yeah. Get him. So you were a coach with Jace and who else? Was Johnny D. With y'all when you know coach?

No. Stone helped a little bit. You all have a pretty good team. Oh yeah, we won everything. Wait, Stone, Jace, and you were the coach? Yeah, so that sounds like. That sounds like so much fun. Jace was head coach, so he like dealt with all the parents and stuff.

I was in charge of actual kids and Stone was head of recruiting. Was this a Green Road, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah. We may or may not have sent out some feelers to upgrade our talent. I don't know if y'all know this about me, but I was a, I was an umpire at Green Road. Oh, my word.

went through the course to be in me and my brothers both of my brothers i knew your brother was yeah yeah well i knew i knew i remember danny the first time i met him playing golf i was like that's a lot yeah yeah i was like yeah yeah so they trained us well but what they trained us in is when in doubt all them out you're out yeah so i'm behind the plate and there's a kid that comes up you know and i rung him up a couple times his mom's back there giving me a hard time and he's back there giving me a hard time She's like, you can't save you, right? Kill the impire. So I turn around, but I can't find out who it is.

But I really want to know. Now, you shouldn't be like this if you're an umpire. You just don't let it, you know, just don't let it bother you. But nope, it's bothering me. And she's back there, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. I said, good. I just want to catch this woman. But nope, I can't catch her.

Next time this kid came up, he fouled it off. She started running her mouth. And I eyeballed her. I said, there she is. I said, okay, I'm fixing him up again. Anything close. Fuck. Hey, hey.

Hey, he gets on first base. He hits the ball, gets on first base. And my buddy out in the field comes up. He said, hey, swap with me. He said, you're getting aggravated, you know, behind the plate. And I was like, okay, all right. So this is a true story. So I go out, and I'm standing now behind the kid whose mom's hollering at me.

He's heard this story. So I'm waiting, you know, and I'm standing out there, and it's frustrating. She's still hollering, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. She's hollering at you? She's hollering at me. I don't rung him up twice. and apparently I'm not a great umpire but it starts to rain I need to bring that up it's sprinkling out there so it's a little bit wet well he takes off stealing second and I take off with him

and we're both running and he slides and I slide and all I hear is pow they threw the ball I don't really know if he tagged him I don't know what happened but I just jump up and you called him Out? I just called him out because I was in doubt. And the place went wild. I'm telling you, hey, they had to call the sheriff's office to come up there and walk me out after the game. Was he out? Went in a doubt?

I don't know if he was out. Hey, when he did he out? I mean, he could have been perfectly safe, but I thought he was close enough. He was probably out. Oh, no. I've been watching softball. And look, they can't even get it right after they go and watch the video of it. Is it just you and one guy?

There was me and the guy behind the plate. We were humps. Yeah, I mean, so really the heart of the problem is you were out of position. I was out of position. But I was out of position. So really, you were a bad unpa. Oh, yeah. I could have been.

But hey, I pumped him out. Then I looked over and then their mom really took off yelling. Shouldn't you have been standing behind the pitcher? I should have, but I was standing behind first base. Yeah. But I swapped with the guy. Yeah, no, I know, but still, you should have. It was slick outside.

It was slick. He wanted to be close to that Doug. I think referees stink, and if we can watch it at home and tell what it should be doing, then the people in charge of you. If you hate referees, then let's refer to the inbox. Uh-oh. Referees are wrong. If I've got something to say, I don't cell phone anything.

That's just me. Yep, and that's where it's going to be. And that's how I'm going to be. Thank you. Call me later. Hey, that's a good one, Sigh. Is that the song you freestyle? No, that one there, Bridget.

Bridget wrote. Okay. Browback man. Hello at Duckcallroom.com. That was actually a good song. You can download that song. I didn't know you could sing that good. Was there auto tune in that?

No. Hunter, why are you laughing so loud? Hunter, that was rude. No, I've always had a good voice. Okay. I've been told that ever since I was a child. Throwback. Let's throwback, man.

I've got to tell you a story before we get to the inbox. What? It might be the proudest I've ever been. Oh, yeah. Carter's story? No, no, no. I went. So I went on a men's retreat.

We're all fired up, right? Everybody's spiritual high. You've been there. Like, 25 people got baptized. Jesus Saturday night. Jesus is in the building. It was awesome. Sunday, we all go to church.

church. We're down front worshiping, right? And my favorite song comes on. No, what's the song? Shoot. Good story. You know the one where they're like, I sought the Lord and he heard and he answered? Oh, I saw the line.

I've been baptized. What? Are you talking about? I shot to share. No. Anyway, there's the part where it gets crunk, right? And I, for a second, I thought, how would Uncle Sadie be singing right now? And I got loud. And then like five people beside me got loud. And then like the 10 people beside them

got loud. And then they got so loud they threw everybody on the stage completely off. And they lost it. They lost the whole thing. Music was off. The sing was off. The girl singing just stopped. And I was like, boom, joyful noise under the Lord. And I said that. That's what Uncle Sy would have done. He ain't worried about. Look, he ain't worried about it. That's why I would love to hear Missy, Jason's wife. Forget about being in tune and key and all that. I would love this. That one would just let it fly.

Just let it fly. Because I think you could actually break crystal. Trust in God. That's the name of the song. Why can't think of that? It's a jam. Go listen to it. It's like Blessed Assurance gets mixed with new age stuff.

It's just a jam. Also, there's another baby sign in the world. His name's. Josiah. They said they're going to call him Si. Oh, well, hey, I like it. He's always smiling. He looks good. And sigh and his mom, Alley, watched the podcast together

all the time. So, all right. Congratulations on the little tiny baby. He looks gassy. No, I'm sorry. No, him. Yeah, I was talking about Oh, that was you. The baby when you said, who was Waylon? Yeah. Or Jackson that was laughing in his

sleep. Oh, Jackson. Yeah, Jackson. He laughed. He said. He said Grandpa was talking to you. Yeah, he laughs all during the middle of the night. I love it. That's funny. Go on. I do.

He'd be laying their eyes closed, sound asleep, just to giggling. More than likely, he was probably smiling when he was laughing. Oh, yeah. He got a little grin on. Oh, yeah.

It's hard to laugh and not smile. Well, no. I love it. Laughing and not smiling is not a thing you can do together. Anyways, Sam from Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Oh, North Carolina. Is that the one? Yeah. All right. He's in a predicament. He's in love and he's broke. I've been dating my amazing girlfriend for over two years.

She's the love of my life and I cannot imagine my life without her in it. That's good news. Then he keeps talking about how great she is. She's not listening, man. You don't have to. I'm just kidding. She seems awesome, right? They both really want to get married.

Okay. To each other? To each other. They're both in their second year of college. Okay. And they don't want to wait to get married until they graduate in two to the years. They're not financially able to get married at this time, but we could make it work if we really tried. Okay.

I'd love to hear y'all's advice. Okay. Sam from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Martin? Okay. Martin's staying out of this one. Since you run the business, Martin, I would you answer these gentlemen. I'm not in a business ain't nothing to do with getting married.

Oh, you're talking money here. The heck of the thing. You got to run a balanced budget at home, too. Well, you better get more money then. Yep. Or change things. I mean, look, marriage is sacrificed, no matter how you look at it. You've got to die to yourself to become one with your wife, which is tough.

I mean, it's hard. No matter the age. No matter the age. You're never going to be ready. No matter the age, no matter the financial circumstances, no matter what, giving up that selfish part of you is difficult. So if you want to go ahead and get a jump start on sacrifice and making those things in marriage, then get married when you're broke.

That's fine. No rules against it. And the words of Phil from Duck Dynasty, though, you ain't going to live off love. You'll starve to death. It does, in fact, take money to live. Yeah. So, you know, either one of you decide you're going to stay in school and one of you get a full-time job or whatever. But you just got to figure out the sacrifices you're willing to make to do to reach the goals that you want to accomplish.

Is that goal being betrothed? Yeah. Is that goal maybe just going to the justice of the peace and spending $100 on a ring instead of spending thousands and having a ceremony and having all that? Figure out what part of that you're okay with having and then make the best decision you can off of that. Absolutely. I agree with what Martin said. and me and my wife just celebrated 32 years of marriage last week. 32 years and I'm going to tell you something. That's just your birthday, right?

That's just my birthday. Great little seafood place. Hey, no, but honestly, you're so right because we didn't have anything when we, you know, ended up getting married. We got engaged and then we got married about a year later. And I went to Abilene Christian University and she worked while I was going to school. And I pushed buggies at Sam's warehouse. Pushing buggies.

That's where I'm about to go. Hey. And when we moved back, I was going to school to get my master's degree in counseling. She was working. She never stopped working. And I was working too. We didn't have any money. I mean, we didn't have anything.

But we loved each other through it. She sacrificed and I sacrificed. And, yeah, I couldn't imagine moving away without her. So, I mean, I wasn't going to put that at risk. I wanted to marry her. I got this said about being broke. Okay. Money can't buy you happiness.

No. Okay. You do have to have it. You do have to have it, okay. But it's not that important. You're never ready to face what's going to happen. And you're going to figure it out. You got to figure it out.

I went to school and worked 40 hours a week at Super 1 in the produce department for a year. And Allison worked at the. the red lobster slinging cheddar bay biscuits every night. And I'm not, we had scholarships, both of our cars were paid for by our parents. So we were in a decent situation there where we didn't have a lot of bills and debt.

But we worked our butts off to be able to afford to, you know, move in together. And it was, you know. One of a warning. It was fun, but it was tough.

And you're just going to have to work hard. You're making some changes. in your life and you're making a covenant between you, your spouse, and God. That's what you put your focus on. That's what Justin was talking about. This is a lifetime choice. Ephesians 528 in the same way

husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself for no one has ever hated his own flesh but nourishes it and cherishes it, cherishes it just as Christ does the church. You want to get married, go for it. You're going to work your butt off.

That's simple. at some point will be uncomfortable. And that's fine. It's all expected. And there you go. It doesn't make you special. I'm going to listen to some more size song.
