Oh, welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We were back in here. The best time of year is around opening season was this weekend, and I saw, Sai, what did you have on your face, by the way? I believe Jay Stone got him in some sunglasses. Yeah, what was that? He looked like a, what was that look? Sire looked like a travel ball player.

We went dove hunting. He looked like Randy Savage, the bad years. And they was doing the safety briefing. He said, has everybody got, you know, shooting glasses? Yeah. And I said, no, I don't. I need a prayer. Jason, I got, I got some covered.

And that's all he could come up with. Well, hey, they was good. Where did he find them? Oh, he had him in his truck. Oh, there's stones. Don't always comes from prayer. Okay. That's his motto.

He's prepared. That's scar's motto from the Lion King. No, no, but hey, look. Pee, people. And the guy was right. Hey, the guy was right because you got hit by pellets. Oh, yeah. So, Sa, did you do any good?

I didn't do much because we was in the wrong spot. I think I ended up killing seven. Stone killed 11, I think. So we did get a limit. Did you eat them? No, not yet. They go. They probably, well, he probably found out about them and Willie ate them.

They go. That does happen. But, hey, look, I'll get some. We'll go back. Yeah, it ain't no problem. Martin, you went dove hunting with two-year-olds. Yeah, I wouldn't call what we did dove hunting.

But we went and watched a dove hunt. But did they have fun? I bet they had a blast. They have fun. I had one major failure as a dad. We ran out of snacks. Yeah, man. What happens?

Well. That doesn't happen. Yeah, it happened. It did happen because I forgot to transfer. from their bag to my bucket. Because I had already prepared the bucket with one thing of snacks. And so I just didn't think about it. I mean, one for each of them.

And I never thought to go back into their actual bag and grab more. I was just like, oh, yeah, I got everything. And then, buddy, they ate those on the ride out there. Yeah. And then once we got there, they were cool for about 20 minutes. And then it was, I'm hungry. Where's the feed? I'm tired.

They're growing. But I will say it's a different perspective when you're almost three-year-old yells at you. Shoot, daddy, shoot. And I said, son, he is a little far. I don't care. Shoot. Come on, man. Yeah, make some noise.

Show them what you're made up, brother. He needs to go hunting with me because I shoot them way out there. Well, buddy, the first dove I shot at with them watching was no less than 100 yards from me. Did you kill him? No. I would have. No. I would just fix a.

I kill one. being stone. I think we doubled on it, but it was not 75. Well, this one was a Honda for my first shot since last January. So to say that I didn't even, I don't even think the dove knew I shot at him. He didn't even scare me. Yeah, he just, he stayed flying the same path. He was a bad day for two reasons.

We was in the wrong spot. And then also there was about a 12 mile an hour win. It was a good win. It was like the most comfortable day of dove because it was not hot. He said that. He said, this is the best day as far as heath. Yeah. Nice day.

It's nice because usually you're just burning up. Which meant they could stay out there a little bit longer. So we stayed maybe an hour and a half, like, which is a long time for kids with no snacks and, you know, out there and just a balled open. So I could have killed a few doves, but every one of them come like from right behind them. And I was not dare going to shoot over their head. That's wisdom. Yeah. Even with, even with protection on and stuff.

I just wasn't going to do it. I mean, it's not worth a dove to do that kind of stuff. But they have fun. So the folks around us killed some. So they were the little retrievers. And by retrievers, I mean, they just kind of went and petted them. Yeah. Waylon's favorite, oh, so soft.

It's a dove. And he doesn't quite understand the concept of blood yet because when he would hand it to me, he would look and he said, my hand's all red. He didn't really understand that that was from the duff. of. They go on. And he said, can you wipe red off? Wipes off.

Yeah. So it was fun, though, man. We had fun. I taught them about picking up shell holes. We picked up all our trash. We picked up other people's trash. And we just, you know, we had kind of a little scavenger hunt and had fun. We, we didn't bring home a dove and I wouldn't even mad about it.

So, no, it was fun, man. But that's what you got to do. When you take them, I don't figure it out. Don't worry about the hunt. Like, the hunt. The last thing you want to do is hunt. Yeah. Just watch them do the thing.

Well, I like it. Shoot, daddy. Shoot, daddy. It is a new level of pressure that I didn't know was going to be unlocked. Yeah. Well, and they're looking at you. Yeah, they're going to be watching. So, yeah, dad's going to have to go one time without them, get a little bit dialed in.

Yeah. And then I'll go back with them. I will say you were dialed in last year when we went to Wisconsin and you went 10 for 10 on the skeet shoot. Oh, well, that ain't nothing. And we've got that on video. Well, you impressed. You impressed everybody there.

Oh, did he? Hey, they were like Martin's the best ever. I think it was you and one other person that actually. Oh, yeah, the ranch. Was it me? No, it was not too. No, wasn't you. You were out off the deal.

And it wasn't me either. Hey, but I did go dove hunting in Texas because they opened up on the first. Yeah, how'd you do? You kids? With our boys from Oklahoma and we went over to a rooster McCona Hay's place. And we'd limited out three days in a row. Everybody there was really good. Yeah, I saw a bunch of dubs.

I was in Texas. I woke up in Austin, Texas this morning. So I filmed a commercial all day yesterday for my friends over at Academy Sports, which when y'all see that, I can't talk about it, but just be looking forward around Christmas time because it felt funny. I'll give it that. Martin's dressed up.

I guess I was not. I was just in hunting attire, but what we do, it felt funny while we were doing it. So I don't, most of those things, when they feel that way while you're shooting them, they're generally pretty good.

good because most time shooting that stuff, you're kind of halfway miserable. Yeah. And then by the time they edit it, I'm just saying by the time they edit it, then it comes out funny. Yeah, like the commercial sign they made that when they said, keeps us longer. Yeah, wildly strong. Wildly stronger. Boy, Yetty coming a long way since those days.

Keeps ice longer. Yeah. Really. Seriously bareproof. Yeah, we had all the thing. But no, it was fun. So be looking around Christmas time and you'll see it. I didn't have, I didn't go dove honey.

You didn't? Oh, you work. But I ordered Wingstop. Oh, okay. Hey, that's just as good. Well, hey, you're eating something. There's a solid chance. There's a solid chance we ate the same foul for dinner that night.

All the difference is, I bought a hunting license to do it. I didn't have wings. Oh, man, but it's fun, man. The boys are having fun. They're learning all the things. So it's, yeah, it's fun. I was like you remind me when you said, He said, shoot.

That is, Stone was talking about he was down at fields and a big cut mouth without the yard. Shoot the dog, the dog, the dog would look at Stone, look at the snake. Look at Stone,

look at the snake. Tell me, are you going to shoot him or what? He got that gun and we'll shoot him. Yeah, kill him now. Yeah, why can grab him? You know, so he was talking, blew his head. Oh, Bobo grabbed him. Bobo!

You know. That was old Bobo. Oh, who knows. Yeah, I don't know. It's a wild dog. Yeah. Oh, man. But look, hunting season is here, and that's the fun part.

But look, this hunting season, while you're out there with your kids, your family, your friends, make sure you check out duck snap.com, get the all new digital duck stamp. And that way you stay legal with everybody. All your boxes are checked. Everything's good to go and you don't have to worry about keeping up with it. And you don't get fined about $500. But the fun part was to actually like watch Whalen put it all together. while we were doing it.

He finally figured out what a dove was by the time we were gone. So he'd be like, there goes a dove. And I'm like, okay, now we're. Because at first it was shoot at everything, right? Egritz, hawk, buzzards, airplanes. That sounds like sire. No, no, because, hey. If it was in the air, he thought that was a dove.

Check it on the ground. We were here to get him. Well, I've gotten a little irritated. They wouldn't fly over me. So I said, well, I, and Stonardard told him, said, hey, he's putting out death rays and they ain't going to come to us. They saw them glasses. So I said,

I had a bunch of blackbirds come over. And I said, don't do it, don't do it. They did it. So I missed the first one. Uh-oh. Yeah.

And that made me mad. So another group come over and I said, don't do it, don't do it. And I said, I'm going to lead this in about five yards more. Boom. And he just.

Add him. Old red winged blackbird. And one of the guys said, he said, why did you? do that. I said, just to see if I could. I can still do it. And I said, I got it. He doesn't got blackbird hungry. Yeah, I said, I still got it.

Yeah, next year, then boys have BB gun out there. That, oh no, we have one in our field. A kid with a BB gun. Yeah, and he come up and he said, he said, I said, what's that? And he said, his dad said, that's the first dove he's killed with the BB gun. That's what I'm talking about, boy. Oh, yeah. That's pretty good.

Yeah. No, but it's tough. It's like, I don't know, there's something special about it, man. That's what I'm trying to get to them, like the boys to see. There's just something special about opening day of dovesy. We had about four that was all 14 to 15 maybe. And all someone, you didn't have to tell them to shoot. Bub, ba, bo, bo, boom. It was three times every time one come by.

I was listening to Whalen. I was sitting there calculating my future shell bill. I was like, oh, man. Go on need more bullets. You're going to have to shoot to keep him occupied. Yeah. Go all need more bullets. 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 Triedells 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 Triedails, 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 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 Tritels 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. Stuck. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. And happy belated birthday to Gobwin, he ain't here. Why not?

His birthday was last week. Oh, Johnny Gobwin. I saw him and Paula's out there dating in a deer stand. What they do, man. What they do, wearing them gilly suit. I retired. Ain't nothing wrong with that. If he's looking for Gobb and Guides right now, he's closed for hunting season, I think, for a minute.

Is he? No, I'm saying while he takes a follow a hunt. I think it's pretty cool when somebody. Hey, would you get your wife for an anniversary? Yeah, and you can say camouflage. I can't say that. I mean, I could say it, but it just wouldn't go over very long. It would just get returned very swiftly.

No, I couldn't get away with that. Not even close. Oh, man, but we ain't really dove into the emails in a hot minute and the voicemail. So we're going to spend a little time with you, the fans on this episode. And I don't know who wants to go first, Johnny D. or Hunter. Hunter, there's no way Hunter's ready. Do you think he's ready? I would wager that he's already.

Oh, I'm ready. I would say he's always jumping at you. He's always ready. Ready set. Go from y'all's in. I don't care who goes. Hey, Uncle Si. This is Amanda here from Newburgh, Indiana.

Calling in with a question. I would love for you guys to talk about Halloween. I love Halloween. I love all the candy and the tricks and dressing up. But as a Christian, it feels kind of funky because of what other people celebrate it for. So I'd love to hear your guys' input. I thank you. And by the way, you said make it funny.

Why do ducks ask others? Pause it. To cover their butt quack. I think he got it. He got it. He nailed it. I don't think you're getting... Hide their buck quacks.

Have a good day, guys. Ah, got it. He got it, boy. Halloween. That's a good one. I think anything. But I think she answered her own question and her question because she said what other people celebrate it for. I think you can go into anything with great intentions and a good mindset where you're all dressing up as a family and friends and having a great time and laughing.

And it doesn't mean anything other than a one night dress up where you have a reason to be together as community. Or you can look at it from a purely what they say. the origins perspective and celebrate that. And then I think either way, it's just what you make it about, right? Like, is it a night to have fun with your family or are you, you know, and a bunch of pagan things.

Well, the good part of this is, though, is the variety of costumes. Well, I'm just saying, everybody has their own view of what this is far. Have you ever been sexy made? Have I been what? Did not see that coming in that. I didn't need.

So you ever dressed up for Halloween? No. Oh, he's more of an Easter kind of fella. I was about saying like to be big bun. I'm not a Halloween guy. Hey. Big bunny.

You know, people have seen six foot tall pink rabbits. Like a deranged Easter bunny from the Christmas story. But I'm just saying, that's the uniqueness of the human race. I'm glad we're not all lookalikes. And on Halloween, we really are. What are you going to be for Halloween?

You know, you can carry it to the extreme one way or the other. Best thing Mark said was, hey, you make it what you want it for the night, for family and friends, to have a good time and to have a fellowship between each other. I mean, I've been places now that are handing out little Bibles for kids. You know, I've personally handed out duck calls for kids. You did do that one here, did? Yeah, I had a bunch of them left over from an event that they had already purchased, but they were like,

I just keep them do something with them. I gave them out. It went over well, too. Oh, everybody was sad when I run out. Have you ever had any trick-or-treaters? Most of the time, no. We did when it was in the military because it was a big thing on base. And the costume was the biggest part.

And we, you know, the people that done all the, candy and all that. They, they was big time into costumes. Yeah. So if you were, I'm, yeah,

no, let's have some fun. If you were going to celebrate that night, or if you were going to trunk or treat at the church. Yeah, that's what, what is,

what is Cy Robertson going to dress up as in 2020. Hey, well, I would, yo, I'm just curious. Whatever, whatever anybody would want me to dress up.

That's actually the most truthful answer he's really is. Like, hey, sigh, wear this. No, no, I'm serious. Because when it comes to kids, yeah. Okay. Yo.

That's fine. There is no, no, I won't do that. Yeah. Cy, will you be a clown? Yes. Yeah. I will you be a T-Rex? Yes.

I actually got, Si, well, you dress up like a one-eyed cowboy. Hey, he's in. Whatever. Will you put a horse costume over your scooter? No, okay. So I got him a uniform, an inmate uniform from the P-Farm.

A real one? Yeah, with the stripes on it. They don't use, I mean, these are ones that they don't use anymore, you know. Oh, so they've been worn a lot. They've been worn a lot, but I watched it. And so doesn't count. And then I want you to put a bandana on and get one of those sticks, things you pick the trash up with.

And let's go around to different parks and see if anybody recognizes you. Oh, do a little social experiment. A little social experiment. Did you actually got that? Yeah, I do have that. Mm-hmm. I said, do you actually got that? I got it.

Weird English. Got it. But we, well, we didn't, look, one of my, kids does not like Halloween at all. It's too scary. It's, it's, uh, you know. We don't do do the scary stuff. No, that's Blake. Now, Bryson and Amber, they're fine with it. They went to all the Halloween parties and with their friends and Blake's like, I'm out. I'm with Blake. I don't like it. There's no scary stuff. You want to be a Ninja Turtle? We're in. Yeah. You want to be a skeletor with blood all coming down your face? Nope, he ain't in them for that. Hard pass. That's where,

like, there's just things. I'm like, but like fall festivals, we would go to those. And when you got young kids it's a lot of fun and it should be fun and not super scary you know yeah that's why i mean we're always home by dark right like with the boys i mean they i don't still know that they know what a street light looks a couple years ago we were in the neighborhood and you know there's one street with a gate and stuff where yeah well y'all got a good neighborhood a certain family lives and we're all there's people everywhere and all of a sudden i heard this one kid go hey that gate's open let's go get some of the duck dynasty candy i bet they got the big bleep candy and i got the big bleep candy and i got to laugh him,

but, Hey, kid, don't cuss, but he made me laugh really hard. Because he was like, I bet they give, I bet Willie Robertson

gives out full-sized snicker bars. He was probably disappointed. Yeah. But he still not. It was worth a shot. That was probably, well,

you would have probably been the one to get the candy, so what were they giving? I didn't. Well, we do it kind of different. We take the golf cart and just go to people

we can trust house and get that candy and then, well, that's why all the churches started doing the church. trunk or treat Halloween

That's a great thing Go to one of those Yeah Yeah The uh You get to When you're saying Scary I forgot

We were riding In the As the boys called Kawasaki The other day Kawasaki Now they've tried Now they try to say it

Super fast for some reason I don't understand But you say it Wait say it normal Calasso Now say it super fast How much more fun was that I know

But Sucky Not to encourage it And this segment Isn't brought to you Byousaki by the way. It is now.

But it can be. Leap all that out. It can be. Holler at it. But I look over and Jackson just starts this blood-curdling scream and his fist are just locked up. And I'm like, what is going on with this kid? Like, we're just, we're cruising, man.

We're just riding. And I can't figure it out until I finally see a little tiny spider is on his leg. Oh, no. And my man just. I mean just locked up I thought I was like is this kid having a seizure what is it going on I'm never screaming he had his hands and I mean those fit you couldn't have cried his fingers apart good for him but I'm I did the same thing just the other day but I'm just trying to figure out how do you where's your fear of spiders comfort like we're not look at it but I mean it's not eight legs in a billion eyes he hasn't seen he hasn't seen fear out of mom and dad to now Britney is definitely not a fan of them I mean I mean I'm I will say that. So maybe there's a genetic component to fear. I'm not sure.

But I have never, I didn't know. It was the funniest. I mean, you're terrified because it's your kid. I'm trying to figure out what it is. But once I figured it out, I couldn't stop laughing. Spiders are scary. J.D., this thing was this big. I don't care.

That's even scarier. You can't see it coming. It's the fear of the unknown. Yeah, it's like what could it be? I may be in the DNA. I mean, I would say it's in the DNA. I would way rather fight a giant spree. spider than a tiny spider.

Well, but then you know what that led to, right? Then Whalen starts because he don't know why brother is mad. But it's got to be something and I need to be mad about it too. Yeah, something terrible. Like, but I mean, really, is the seat on fire? I'm trying to figure out what's going on. But how would they get in there? We're going 10 miles an hour.

Like, I just couldn't figure it out. And his reaction to it was. So once you figured it out, what did you do? I just wiped it off his leg and it was like an awful. switch as soon as I knocked it off his leg Cricket I would have done the same thing That's all I'm saying

I just don't know I don't know spider touching me I can jump around spiders I can jump away like what if it's a jumping spider You can also jump in the other way Have you seen Spider-Man he jumps really high Joe JD's right there is a jumping spider See yeah

And you don't know what spider you're looking at It's best to just scream Yeah just scream Burt Must of just scream lock up And then just get Get out of there. You're welcome.

Everyone's having another. That's like me and snakes. Like squirrel hunt. Yeah. Sit down on a log and do me a shotguns. Can't hear real good, but I hear something. And then when I look beside me, I've done set down by a king snake. Did you freeze up?

Oh, I jumped up. A king snake's side? No, no, no. There's no time to identify a snake. You scream, you run, and then you identify. Then you turn around and check it out. I just, I don't know. It was the wildest thing.

I just have never seen that reaction. That's from mom. Yeah, I don't know. I would say it's DNA. It was. It's scary. Just because I just don't. We're born with a cheer of eight-legate through that later.

That's what, yeah, and that's what I try to do with them, even with snakes, like when we see them, is just show them like, they're okay. This one's bad. This one, I mean, but just leave them alone. Right now, just. You can look at them. Just leave them alone and nothing's going to happen to you. You know how I make my kids handle their fear of bugs?

What? Well, I don't admit that I'm also afraid, so I make them get rid of it. That way they learn, and then I never have to face that fear myself. I like that night I was at your house and that gecko got in and you were gone. I hate those things, man. They're gross. They lose their tail. They're crapping in your house.

You know they're crapping in your house. Yeah, but you could say 15%. I hate them, thanks. I ain't never using them because I don't like the, my house is still infested people. Oh, he does have a conglomeration of geckos by a key door. I feel like the Pharaoh and I've got some Israelites held up and God's pissed at me. And he has sent the plague of geckos on my home. Well, you got woods and water right by your house.

And they are right by the door that gets the most traffic. I mean, I opened that door and that fast sucker was in there for I knew what happened. I don't even go in my own house some days. I just sit there till they all leave. I bet you can turn the light on and they're all over the walls outside. Oh, yeah. I'll get you a video probably tonight. It's insane.

I hate it. I'm thinking about burning it down. Oh, well, that was 10 minutes on act. Hold on, but what are your kids being for Halloween? Because I've always wanted twins. Oh, I don't know. For one night only, Halloween.

You're welcome to dress them however you want to. I mean, I'll bring them to you if you want to borrow them for that night. Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first. I would just put in the comments the best two-year-old twin outfit for Halloween. Well, the one that I've seen online that, I personally would like to see them do it. I don't think they're there yet though, but maybe next year is slinky dog.

But then one of them has to be the butt, right? Like, because you got one at the head. I tried to get Carter and Benz to do that. They won't do it. Yeah. I just think it'd be funny. But then one of them's going to ask, well, how'd I end up the butt, right?

Well, it just depends. You know, so, but. Slinky dog's a good one. I mean. You can do it like a bowling ball and a pen. But I think any twin deal you do, it's going to be tough, right? No, it makes it easier. How about the blues,

brothers. Just a dynamic little men and black. That would be hilarious. And little black suits. And next time you go to a wedding, you're set. Dumb and Dumber, that's always good in there. Always a good one.

They got the tuxes on. Any duo is possible. Yeah, I know. But then there's always the one, the one. Dominoes. The pizza place? No, like an actual domino. Oh.

You assume they like each other that much. Well, that's what else. I'm going to need a little separation of church and state between them during that whole process. I'm trying to look for a picture of when my mom did that to me and my sister. Oh, you were a twin. What did you dress up as? No, Hunter was into the scary side of Halloween for sure.

I think they would be cool as Phil and sigh. Oh, God. You know, with the be beers and one of them's got to cut. See, one of them's going to be mad. They're not sigh. That's true. As long as you do Phil and sigh, as long as it's not Willie and sigh, one of them won't be mad. Or you could do Willie and sigh.

have them handcuffed together. Oh, they'll hit each other for that. Oh, yeah. They won't like... But like, if you did Mario and Luigi, and one of them's going to be mad their Mario, or not mad they're Mario, one of them's going to be upset their Louis.

No, the taller one gets to be Luigi. Yeah. Shorter, strumpier one gets to be Mario. Ask Carter and Benz. They've done it. They've done it. Hey, what's the phone number, by the way? 318, 215, 65, 59.

We're all looking at each other. If that is right, people. Because that was a great question. There you go. Thank you. I liked that question. We should do another. Do another one, Hunter.

You got another voicemail? No, he doesn't. He said, he had a few. I've got a lot that I've had since June. That's fine. We got, you know, life throws curveballs, man. Yeah. The best plans sometimes are waited on.

Johnny D., what do you have? Oh, man. Hey, we did just cross a milestone. Okay. We have now received 25,000 emails at hello at duckcallroom.com. Remember when I said I've read all of them? Yeah, you were. That's no longer true.

We're bumping around 24,000 that I have read, though. How deep do we want to go here? I'd say stay in the shallow end until we get to the end. Let's go shallow. Tyler, listener from South Carolina. Long-time listener, first time caller. Love listening to the pod. He had this thought the other day, wondered if we had an answer.

Have you seen the TV show Special Forces World's Toughest Test? No. They threw like Cam Newton on it. They're hanging off a head. helicopters, it's wild. They're basically doing, you know, the test. Well, if the next question is, could we do it? If Cam Newton couldn't do it, I'm out.

I think Cam actually did complete it, even with a silly hat. He wondered who would be the best person from Duck Dynasty to compete on the show? And would we make it? Jay Stone. I'm going to give the nod to Jace Robertson on that one. What about Christian? Oh. yeah well well in that case i've seen the competition i'm going to vote jacob mayo because he seems to always

win i was just exciting i mean mayo mayo is mayo's mail's weird i'm a gamer man really he's a game mayo and stone yeah male i'm going with christian i'll take stone i'm going with christian i'm going with christian i'm going with stone i'm going with stone if you are hanging off a helicopter for your life Christian just can do that for the next three days. Stones are two to one favorite. No. Oh, yeah. Overall, both of them boys.

Because you know why? He's been in the military. He's got the mindset. If he wants to do it, he could do it. I've never seen the show, to be fair. So it's like, this is more than push-offs. They're doing things. Yeah, I don't know exactly what they're doing.

What did you say? You said, I saw him hanging off a helicopter one time. That's all I got. But mine, my vote in Mayo is just, Oh my goodness They got this girl under water Okay He's a gamer

Is the only thing I'm saying about Jacob He is a gamer Somebody that's scrappy and a gamer Yeah They're gonna they can do They got them jumping from like boat to boat In the ocean Yeah see that's the kind of crap

Well they're doing the seal training Special training Special op training Yeah that's what they're doing That's what they're doing Jumping out of planes What was his name? Austin

Is that right? Tyler Tyler I don't know Was he from Austin You've been in Austin You just thrown out. They're both cities in Texas.

Oh, Fort Worth from South Carolina. South Carolina, I don't know. Here's what I'm certain of. None of us. It isn't me. Nobody in this room right now. I'm out. Yeah.

You're going to catch me being as humble as I've ever been. It ain't me, buddy. Nor do I want to, by the way. Unless the world's toughest test is like jump roping for 10 minutes, even if it's 11, I'm out. You know what I'm not going to do? Jump from one perfectly good boat to another good boat. I'm going to stay in the one that's good.

Sir, those boats are way too small for the ocean. I ain't even getting on the boat. Yeah, I mean, no thank you. Like, I don't... Although I would go on Survivor. I wouldn't do this. I would love to watch that. Survivor?

That's my favorite show, but I'd love to see Johnny D on it. Johnny D, send it in, Johnny D. I got too much going on. Would you do naked and afraid? You know Willie tried to get on Survivor. Yeah. I would go on Survivor. But not naked and afraid.

Well, maybe. What about alone? Do that one. Have you met me? The worst three months of my life or whatever, my roommate moved out and I had to wait to Mary Alice, and I was so bored. His bidet was down for a week, and he was calling me,

hey, you know a plumber? I'll get a get a fix. I was just looking at my dog, like, what are we supposed to do? There's no one to talk to it? No, I wouldn't make it alone. That's why I want to be on Survivor. I just lie to people, do some stuff, stab them in the back.

Like a Tuesday. All that kind of. Honeyhole. There you go. Yo, that's, that's, you know, you got to have a special attitude to try that. I got a special attitude of quitting. So, you're too honest to be on Survivor.

Well, no, no, I'm just saying, okay, it's, it's, uh, that's, that's all a mental thing. Mm-hmm. Yeah. What game show would you go on, Si? No, none of that. The price is right. There you go.

that he would or what's the one with the whammy's press your luck oh yeah i know a guy that won a hundred grand on that really 100 because i've all i'm not good at games i know that's why he just needs to hit a butt yeah i heard about your poker experiences no no he's good at dominoes you are sire i will give him that well i'm just saying there's domino most of the games where you've got a like i would make a poor detective now what leads you to believe in that well i'm just saying because the glove didn't fit. Hey, I have problems about... Authority.

No, about progressing. Yeah, he's been stuck at 14 for... Okay. Yeah, he's, size, more of a snap decision maker. Just a few months ago when we were flying in the air, I said, Si, see, it's not flat. He was like, no, no, hey, we're fitting to reach the end right here, right up here. That's right.

Just go off the end. Are you back on that? No, Sae ain't a flat earth. No, so chance. No, this is well. So I got Christian. got stone y'all got mayo no i got mao he took stone i got i think we need to set this up no no no because i'll tell you why stone is the the best pick right now is what he said he's been

in the military okay he he he he got he does jujitsu for therapy y'all do realize that boy's 50 right well no no that is true i do realize he's he i did not really really i did not really thinking about that. Well, hey, Jason is too, though. That's why when you said Jason? Jason? Jason would give you a run for Jay's would win alone.

Well, Jace, I wasn't thinking about revival Duck Dynasty. Yeah. I was, I just went to straight OG Duck Dynasty. And that's why I said Jace, because out of all of us, Jace is the gamer. Yeah. All like he is.

Yeah. He's not going to quit. Yeah, he would. I mean, he's not going to, yeah, he does. That's who he is. That's tough like that. So that's why I went back to. like OG one instead of

I was just going to everybody. Yeah. I was just doing who could do the most pull-ups in a row. Yeah. Well, when you go to that, the age thing comes into play and hey, Christian would be probably the best choice. Yeah, with the age.

And his biceps are the size of my head. I remember watching an officer and a gentleman when I was young. They throw me in that water. And I'm telling you, the training that they went through and that show was just like, whoa. I'm just dumb enough to think I could do it and hurt myself real bad within the first 30 seconds.

Oh, yeah, you'll be ringing the bell. Yeah, quickly, but it's because I'll be hurt. I'd wait until Johnny D. I don't even know that I'd get the opportunity to ring the bell. I think the ambulance sirens would get there before I got to go touch the bell. What happened to Martin? They'd be carting me out. Now, somebody may stop and ring it as we're walking by,

but I don't know, I don't believe that I'd be in physical enough shape to reach up and get the bell. No, no, no, no. It's what gets me about that. Okay, and it showed in, I don't want no movie was, but anyway, you know, he just, they had been in the water, out of the water, in the water, out of the water. It's cold. Yeah.

Oh, I don't wait. And out, in out. And the time they're not in the water, they're doing the telephone pole thing. The cold changes everything. Okay. So, hey, they do it. And look, he went through all of it. This is hell week.

That's what they call it. Okay. I'm going to happen, y'all. They come out of the water and then the guy, he just, he looked, and he starts stumbling toward the bell. As soon as he rang the bell, the guy was over and he said, you just waited. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I remember. This was all of it. The sniper movie with Chris. And I look at that, I say, God, he put up with that for all that time and then just. So, do you remember the sniper Chris Kyle? Remember his wife and son were at the event that we went to?

They're going to be in Wisconsin when we're there. Who's that to tell you? Yes. Oh, really? And her son and daughter. Oh, okay. So you get to see and talk to her again. But Chris went through all this.

In the movie, you could see him going through all those things that you're talking about. You just got to be super strong physically and mentally. Well, I just, it may have, it may have, I may have, I may have, I may have, have gone to could have it. But I doubt it. Yeah. I just don't think I've got that in me. I don't either.

Yeah, I'm going to stop you right there for me. I ain't got it. Well, no, no. I quit junior high football, but I really don't like to have it either. Like, I mean, I threw up running gassers playing high school football. I knew that that wouldn't for you more. But you don't know. Because, hey, when it happens, okay, you have one or two choices.

Give up and die. Yeah. Or do what you got to do. Well, maybe I got more about living than I, you know, that I know I've got. Yeah. When it comes to fight or flight, I don't really know which one I am because I'm generally not there when it comes to that. Yeah. I've already gone.

I've already gone. I've already laughed. Yeah. That's called pre-flight. And that's what I don't know what Jackson's response technically would be classified as the other day. Is there another one? Is there a third one, fight, flight, or pauls? Is there a, is there a, that's the one you don't want to be?

That was an assessment. That's why I said, that came from mom in his DNA. I'm a, I'm more of a fighter because I don't want to die out of breath, you know, like from running. Didn't you get a fight with an ostrich one time? No, well, that one I definitely, I didn't flight, but I crawled back into my truck. I didn't want to fight him. was big.

I thought y'all did fight. Ostriches are not very analytical, too. I can look at the risk and say, it ain't worth it. No. Do not trifle with, if you can lay an egg that big, you don't want to mess with them.

Yeah. Yeah, and that footprint. Well, that's one of the things about, hey, you know, you lived to fight another day. Yeah.

That's right. Yeah. I'm probably going to make it until tomorrow. Yeah. Anyway, Hunter. Hopefully. Hunter. Martin,

are you cold, buddy? My hand. You're really bundled up. My hands are cold, actually. I have. Martin's like a third grader with both of his arms. I've been cold all day. He got bit by a spider.

The airports this morning were. What if Martin's in the spider man? I don't miss airports at home. Why did you get my age? That's why you walked in here with a full-blown sweatshirt. That's why I've got this on. I was sitting there freezing the day. I got that one of the t-shirt and all put this on and said, I'm tired of this.

Yeah. I took the boys to Waffle House this morning. It was kind of cold. I put the heat on my truck. And on the way here, I was like, why is it so hot? I forgot. I got to switch that back to the AC. Yeah.

It couldn't have been the worst as Si, I turned the heater on his butt for seven hours. I had the smell. Oh. Hi, Donner. Hey there, Doug Call Room. This is Dalton Whirley. I'm actually a public affairs officer

of the 101st Airborne Division, so I wanted to give a shout-up, Si on that. But I also just listened to the episode where he talked about things you shouldn't do, and I can confirm basketball plus baseball, baseball bat does equal some head injuries. Got a nice little scar over my eye to prove it.

Anytime Uncle Island's come out to Fort Campbell, see what I can do. And I'll say where I'm from. I'm from just north of Nashville, Tennessee. Well, thank you for your service. First and foremost. That's the first thing. And, yeah, I think all kids, I mean,

don't all kids have a baseball bat basketball story? Mine's a basketball rollerblade story, but we all got one. Oh, yeah, you swing a baseball bat at a basketball. That baseball bat's coming back at your face. It's a quick leak. Yeah, it's going to hit you. It is. And don't hit, don't use your golf club and hit a metal pole because it'll come right back at you.

All right, the basketball. I don't even think that one needs to be explained. No, no, no, no. I have seen it firsthand. Did you do it? No, but I was there, I was there with, with the adolescent who did it. Were they mad? And please tell me as well.

No, they were swinging. thing hit hit the pole the the club wraps around and comes right back out and breaks in half all the way through the arm now we're at the er and it's like the club is through the arm don't ever do that true story well duh yeah i mean i've just never looked at a metal pole and said you know what i want to hit that with a golf club with anything well i don't want to hit a metal pole not in my truck bad decision. I'm right with my fist. We got a lot of don't ever do's on this podcast.

I didn't know we had to tell people about that one. Well, that's right. Uh-oh, Hunter's got one. What'd you do, Hunter? I didn't do this. My girlfriend, right before we started dating, she was really mad and told me how she took a baseball bat to a tree. Whoa.

But that was just to let you know, don't make her mad. You're going to be the tree. I don't even believe that. That was just a warning shot. But the baseball bat came back and hit her in her knee. and left the big old bruise that stayed for like a few months. Isaac Newton, man. So she went from Carrie,

she went from Carrie Underwood to Tanya Harding. Ooh. Why? Why? He went from baseball bat to the pickup truck to get neat. Like, okay. Yeah, you want to be. You got, yeah, careful.

Careful, bud. I know. Careful. You may wake up with a millennium falcon glute somewhere you don't want it to be. Hide the bat. Do not fight with a woman, okay? It's the old deal about, why did you shoot him only six times? It didn't hold seven.

It didn't hold seven. Yeah, it didn't hold seven. I just saw him seven. Huh? A woman's scorn. I'm not messing with no woman. That's just a good way to get hurt. 20 men.

One woman. I had my nose broke twice by girls. What? Well, I was working with them. Oh. And they got upset and, you know, was kind of fighting. And he knows? Yeah, and, you know, you can't fight back when you're trying to assist and help.

You just take the beating. You just take it? You just take it. Hunter, I'll teach you that. So when your girlfriend gets back up. You got to take it for the team, boys. Yeah. What?

You just take it? Yeah, you got to take it for the team. You just help them how you can. This is why I work in a tackle shop. I quit listening to y'all like two minutes ago. That's right. I was looking at TrailCare. Well, you got false shit.

One of his people broke your nose? Twice. It happened. It happens. Over the years. It feels at a good nose height, though. Like, he's right there in the scrum.

I know. At about 5.9. No, one girl was about 6.3. Another one was about 5 foot. Yeah. Six three. See, when Philip gets in the middle of something, he's like technically in the middle of it.

If I get in the middle of it, I'm still over the top of it. He's above all that. He's above all that. So that's what I'm saying. He's in the middle. He's right at the level. Yeah. Phillips in the good, the perfect height.

I'm not on the high horse. Yeah. Hey. All right. We got a deep one and we're out of here? What are we doing? Hey, hit us with a deep one. Do we want a deep one?

Nah. Give us a deep one. We'll close on something. How deep is deep? A.K. from Wisconsin, you're about to hear it from side. Johnny, let's go, baby. Not going to, she asked me not to share some stuff. She asked me to share some stuff.

Share it. Share what you share. I need some relationship opinions. Okay. But. Man, we ain't done one of these in a while. I know, and we got a list of things we can share, things we can't share. Oh.

Is I reading it? I'm reading it. All right, we got a 19 and a 20-year-old. Okay. 19 and 20-year-old. Been together for a year and a half. Wait a minute. Well, what you wage?

I don't know the age of me. We're not there yet. No, well. 19 and 20. Okay. One's 19, one's 20. Okay. Now, that one doesn't really matter.

Okay. What you act like this Bill Belichick and his girl. Oh, yeah. No, it's the same age. It matters. It matters. But hey, I can deal with. Okay, that's close enough.

It's so close it doesn't matter. Okay. Ouch. I'm just saying that's weird. It is weird. 24-year-old girl sounds weird. No offense to you, AK. All right.

How long have they been together? A year and a half. A year and a half, okay. Here's where I'm going to throw in a, okay. They've lived together for almost a year. Rutt row. Uh-oh. Rett row, raggy.

Bing. Both financially stable. They don't fight. Talk everything through. Great relationship. Sounds like it. engaged and married. It's a man of her dreams. He already calls her his wife.

Okay. But I feel like if she says she feels like she's like, hey, where's the ring? He might run away or something. How will I know when it's the right time? Let me tell you something, ma'am. You should have known that before you moved in with him. Uh-oh. Well, if she hadn't

figured that out by living with him for a year. Well, it sounds like she has, but she also he must have some sort of commitment issue. Well, it sounds like you're getting cold feet. There ain't no cold feet.

He's brought up. He's brought up. He was to marry you, right? They've been pretending they've been married for a year. There's only difference is a piece of paper at this point. So I'm thinking... A piece of paper and a piece of jewelry. Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking that you've got to do it God's way.

And God's way, it isn't always our way. But God's way is different, you know? And moving in together, that's not God's way. That's not his idea of what. what a marriage should be. And so I think you need to rethink it, your relationship with this guy. And then he needs to rethink whether or not

he wants to be with you because when you move in and do it your way and not God's way, then you may be, you may have relationships with each other that God had not intended for you to have. And if you are willing to, and he love this person, you're willing to go through all the changes to make it happen,

y'all got to talk about this well i would say this y'all was talking about you had a good relationship finding that piece of paper and and putting that ring on your finger that don't mean you'll stay together okay this is something that you like uh philip's talking about okay god's ways better god said you need to do it under the umborella of marriage yeah we just got a little out of order here Yeah. We went a little. Yeah, and that can be fixed. Yeah.

And I'm not trying. All I'm saying is, hey, that piece of paper, signing a piece of paper and buying a ring and putting it on a person's finger, that don't make a solid relationship. Nope. Because, sigh, it's threefold. There's a covenant between me and my woman and with God. Yep. So I'm. And that's all of you involved.

Right. You're involved with God. You're involved with her. and you're making a declaration that you will do it right with both. Yeah. Okay. My opinion is, and I was just making the point,

a ring and a piece of paper. No, you're right, you're right. If your mind's not right, if you're not right, that doesn't matter. In the heart and the head. Yeah.

And also that contract, I don't think necessarily means nothing with a good Lord either. Because, you know, like, well, yeah, that's just, I mean, that's just a piece of paper. Well, it's right now. That's just so you get your day in the United States court system.

Yeah. Yeah. They're great tax benefits. That's why if you've made it right, they need to think seriously about, okay, what are we doing? Yeah. Because there's no difference. Okay. And what do we want in the future?

Yeah. For this relationship. Yeah. And if you're both living together, you're both financially stable, I'm assuming you're doing all the things married people do, you're pretty. much married. I don't want to be the, I don't think you just going to pick

a coffee table and leave one day. You can even say, common law, they've already been married. I don't know how that works, but I think, they just used to live together. Yeah, and I had a buddy who went through this, great friend of mine,

he was living, he said, something feels off. And he felt like he was being called, like, he had some kids together. They were just, but they, for some reason,

they were like, we're not getting married yet. I was always like, that's, why not? Okay. And then one day it kind of hit him like, no, I do need to. And he moved to the couch for a month until they got married because that's what he was feeling that God was calling him to do.

So I do believe if y'all are meant for each other, you figure that out. But I think if you love him, it's bring it up. I'm not just here to live with you. And do all the things married people do. I'm here to get married. Well, and if you bring it up and he runs, I think you got your answer. Yeah. Like, I mean.

Well, that's what I was saying. I ain't. Because right now. I ain't trying to lead you down a road of heartbreak. But like, if, if he's going to run, then he was always going to run. So, like, you know. Yeah. All I was saying, okay, you ask for advice.

Here's the advice. Philip was right. You need to look at this seriously. Okay. And then like Martin said, okay, if you say, okay, we need to. we need to get right with God number one. Yeah. And if he runs, then A, it wasn't meant to be.

There you go. Yeah. And you're saving yourself some trouble. And you're saving yourself a lot of heartache. Or whatever. By doing it, okay. But I'm just saying, that's the advice we've given you. Okay.

Now you've got to do what you've got to do. You need to do some serious thinking. And the words of my grandfather, it's time to crap or get off the pot. Mm-hmm. That's right. And here's the other thing is we love you. So we're telling you what we think the truth is about this. Yeah.

I mean, if we didn't love you, we'd say, oh, just whatever you are. Oh, you're fine. It'll be okay. It won't work out. But, yeah, bring it up. It's your right to know that answer. So bring it up. Because if he don't want to get married.

Yeah. What are we waiting around for? Well, if he don't want to get married, then the next thing, y'all just move out. Keep dating. Yeah. You're both financially stable, right? Move out. stable a stable or and if you're only financially stable together now we've got a different problem

but there's there's there's ways to work around that too but whatever there i'll use a bible come here when you know the truth truth will set you free there you go hey close with that one we're going to john 832 there you go yep i've always wondered if i could like use an actual bible and be faster than googling sometimes And you know the truth and the truth will set you free. There you go. You nailed it by the truth. Nailed it.

There's only one truth. And then you'll be at ease with yourself. Duck. And we'll see you next time right here in the... Doc. Call room.
