Oh, I had a fire today. You had a what? I had a fire today. You had a far? Yeah, burn. Well, all them limbs that fell from the ice storm. Mm-hmm. Just now burning them?

This August. Well, it's been raining. I mean, not raining, but the wind's been blowing. The wind's been blowing. The woods got to dry out. Wind's been blowing. I've been busy. I've been off.

So, but it was so big. I was kind of scared to burn it. Because it was right beside my shop, you know. Well, that's metal. Pretty close. But she shop's a medal. I know. But it was close.

Still. Oh, you like to burn it down. And there was some big logs. They filed up there. And I said, well, I'm just going to go for her. I led her today. Did you? I got me a water hose, water down all around it.

Did you get you a lawn chair? Do you sit there and watch a ball? No, I got a rocker on the porch of my shop. I sat in that rock. But let me tell you what you don't. don't do you don't go wear a shirt with a big giant logo and get up close to that fire raking and stuff because that logo will get hot really and you can't get away from it because you're wearing it what logo did you have on that cornfield fishing gear logo I mean it was big it's covered my

whole front of my shirt that cornfield done got hot I said who he was getting hosty he said burn that I mean, I was trying to rake, you know, the ends it burned, and you rake the ends in there. Oh, yeah. And that sucker got hot, and I backed up so it'd cool off, but it wouldn't cool off. It was still hot. I couldn't get away from it. I still hot.

I had to take it off. Well, that was rough. That was that, yeah. Well, and the good news is it's nice and cool out there today, too. Oh, yeah. It's cool. It's hot here, buddy. My face of die, it ain't cool.

It ain't that hot. It ain't that high. Come on. Hey, the wind wasn't blowing this morning. I think I should have been fishing. Yeah. But I'll take this over ice any day. Yeah, I bet there's a lot of people that think.

Yeah. Especially with what I was burning. Yeah. You'd much rather the fire department. I see. I see what you did. When it's hot and there's ice is when in the whole town. Fire and ice, that's a good color of a fishing worm.

Culprick used to make it in a ribbon tail. Fire and ice. I caught a lot of bass off that thing. See, what's your problem? What? Used to. Oh, people still buying it? Yeah.

I can't buy it no more. I feel like a nice culprit worm's still a thing, man. Seven inch ribbon tail? Seven and a half inch ribbon tail. Five 99. Oh, they've gotten expensive, man. Inflation, man. Inflation.

Those things used to be $2 a pack. Well. That's crazy. That was 10 in there, too. They had a bunch of them. They probably, they probably, they probably, they probably, they probably $6 a pack, and there's eight of them in there now. I don't know.

I don't know how he's in there. I'm going to find out for you right now. Oh, look, he's looking. Fire. I'm on that other. No, there's 18 in the pack. Y'all still sell tequila sun. Hey, you've made 20.

Yeah. I just remember it like all them old colors. You don't ever hear them no more. Tequila sunrise, red shad. I had a guy called me the other day looking for fire and ice and an eight inch. I said, well, there's a seven and a half inch. He goes, I don't think that's going to work. Not enough.

That half inch matters, son. Fisherman. Yeah. I hear you tell you. Yeah. End up over like size sausages. By the way, Russ, thank you for sending size some brought worse. He's got them.

Hey, is Russ a professional chef? Yeah. I need to know more about Russ. Big Daddy? Yeah. We now follow each other on the ground. Oh, yeah. I'm starting to learn about him.

Yeah, but he's a... Can he cook? Oh, yeah. He hearted my photo of Big Dave's plate the other night. Yeah, Russ. And that made me feel proud because he's a professional chef. Russ, yeah, his stuff looks fancy, man. And tastes good.

Like, I don't... And he cooks. So he's like the dinner chef for us when we... We do the 4th of July thing up in Tennessee. He cooks dinner. I cook breakfast, and then everybody kind of fends for themselves for lunch, which is where the hot dog roller came in.

Because we were like, you know what would be easy? Well, he just put it on in the morning and then come back in either. Just have dogs rolling all day. Hashtag dogs rolling. Because everybody there come from different times on, so lunch feels different for everybody. So you just have dogs rolling.

Dogs rolling. And you're good to go. We've got to get a dogs rolling sponsor. We need to have some dogs rolling up in here. here. Is that on your plan? Protein. I can have protein. He has protein. Buddy, I don't want to be the bear of bad news. I don't know if you've read the back of a hot dog package. There ain't a lot of protein in there.

Oh, but taste a little bit of sugar. Meat. It's meat. It's meat. It is meat. It's some form of meat. And it's not going on. I can't have the bread, but. Hey, you know what I did today? What did you do? I got a new driver's license and the lady asked if I was still six to, which I felt should be obvious. That doesn't really change. And then she said, do you still wait 2.30?

And I was like, actually, ma'am, I do not. No. Which is always a fun day whenever you're trying to lose weight and you get past whatever you lied about on your driver's license the first time because you were probably above that anyway. But I went with a real safe number today. That way, if I gain a little I'm good, if I lose a little I'm good. Yeah, grace of mercy.

I don't want to go down to, like, say what I want to be because then I got work real hard. Yeah. Or just let the whole world. How much lighter are you than your driver's license? I don't know. I ain't looked. What's your driver's license today? Probably, I'm 30.

No chance he got his driver's license today. He'd been using my phone to call his daughter. Hold on. He ain't got a phone at the house. And your wallets of that? You're just out here raw dog? No, my wallet's right. You're out here just raw dog in life without any essential?

I think my driver's license had 250. 250? You're below that now. Oh, yeah. I'm way below that. You've been way above that. It's a good feeling. It says 250.

There you go. Two 50. Well, when you go, you can update it. It's a good field. You know what would be fun to do with the DMV, though? No, I didn't go there. Where'd you go? One of them little places.

You get a real ID. But if they were secretly had you standing on a scale and you didn't know it, and they're like, how much do you waste, sir? Well, all you got to do is go. But then you tell them, and then your real weight just pops up on your license when you get it. That would be fun. I was within two. pounds today so I'm proud of myself. I'm willing to pay a tenth of a cent more tax just so we get

scales at all the last time I don't know I'm just saying the last time I would have had about a 20 pound walk of shame I helped you out I was like two 30 30 30 why not yeah that's that would be fun yeah that would be a lot of fun that you yeah have you been to a water park like when you get on a plane you got to tell them you right weight because if you tell them you wrong weight you crash really As someone who's really not looking forward to an upcoming flight I have. We went on an excursion. I used to see word. We went on an excursion in a small plane.

Oh, in a small plane, yeah. And the guy said, what do you? I need to know y'all's weight. And he looked at the women and said, don't lie or we crash. Don't lie or we crash. If you go to the water park, they do the same thing. But they weigh you. Do they really?

It was weird. Water park? They got a big giant skate. I'm assuming something to do with mass plus speed. They charge you by the ounce? What, they're worried about the water overflowing? No, I think they're worried about you going too fast and falling off that slide. Good.

No, you don't want to fall off a slide. There's nothing like accountability. Why not? Because it would hurt. That'd be a great place for Ph.D. to advertise as you're going off the side. That's right. That's right.

Have a bar code there you can. When we went to that water park with the kids, I didn't really like it because they'd make you stand on it as a group and then individually. and they'd look at you. What do people look like playing? Well, one time I put my foot on it while Allison was on it and pressed down a little bit. Oh. That was funny.

But, yeah, no, they're checking you. Really? It's got to be something with science and math. I believe in science. Your boys are about Waterpark age. No, they're not. Yeah, they are. You about to be at the Great Wolf Lodge,

which is basically a moisture cheese. Hey, I just got them twas and twas and You just use the word moist. Life jackets. Huh? I just got them twian some life jackets. Have you put them in the life jackets yet? They're the most uncomfortable things.

Like the boys this year were able to get the live jackets where they can actually like move their head around a little bit. But them little infant ones, when you put them in there, they're like. Yeah, they're like, ah. And so hot, like they're just like a little neoprenee body suit. They got them little port swing. Yeah. Hang it from my Bimony top.

Oh, you're going to put them in the swang? Yeah, they're going to be swangin. Yeah. That sounds fun. Yeah. Oh, you're talking about fun. I'm bringing my turtle box. We're playing swinging going down to Lake with him.

That'd be fine. That's a real right there. That's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah. I love it. I got a radio in there. It's a Bluetooth.

There you go. The whole Bluetooth radio. Bluetooth with the Spotify and everything. I got a fusion. Do you have a scale? A scale. I'm just wondering now, Johnny D. saying they're weighing people at water parks.

You might have to start weighing your gas before they get on your boat. You might have to. There is. Post Guard regulation. There is a weight limit on that boat. It's printed in there. It's printed on the boat. How embarrassing.

I know what? Some people I put on there, I don't move around much in the wind, which is good. They don't got a lot of balance. Some of your customers? He says the boat sits a little lower. It sits a little lower. the water than it happens. In other words, his load's got a little bit heavier.

I wish I had a picture of me and Martin in my kayak that day. Oh, I bet you it didn't have much freeboard. No. It was begging for mercy too, buddy. I thought I said, I'm about to lose this thing. Yeah, that kayak said, I quit. It's a two-seater, but we were pushing the limits. I've been known to do that.

I think I got a picture. I was like me in Phil of P-roll. I've been known to do that on some vessels. Life insurance is not a fun conversation to have.

You fight the Facebook page over in the divorce, you know. He took her fishing and she fell in and he grabbed her by the hair and it was a wig. Well, that's a good idea.

Oh, yeah, I don't know what to say in those moments. Couldn't say she just looked at me and looked at them and then she just walked out. And I was like, hey, you got to answer him. Hey, you're going to answer, woman.

I guess I'm really trying to ask for as prayers from you guys, because I know you all know the man, as Uncle Sai says. I want to know him, but I tried, but I failed miserably. I don't expect a response, but if you all could just keep me in your prayers, that would mean the world to me. That was in May. Well, May. May. I did respond. I just said, hey, man, I'll pray for you. Everybody goes through really tough times. Well, we put our faith in the Lord.

And then I said, I also don't think it's a coincidence. You sent this right after an episode about therapy and Christian counseling. Definitely, you should look into it for yourself. And if your wife's down, marriage counseling could save your marriage. So there's the message. And all that, this is, hey, look, this is belated. But it's okay to ask for help. Yep.

Well, wait. Okay. Because, hey, if you don't, well, that's, It's going to stay the way it is. Well, there's another message coming, Big Daddy. All right. So then, you know, we get some of those messages. I responded to that one.

I've forgotten about it. All right. So last week, I got a message from him. Oh, by the way, his name's Jamie. I asked if I could share this. I said, I won't use your name anything. And he said, no, say my name and say that I'm from West by God, Virginia. We talked more later.

Take me home. That was one of my buddies's favorite saying. and he was from West Virginia. I can play that. All right. Well, here it is. Here's the big one. So he, this is last week.

Yeah, last week. Update. I'm going to get straight to the point. I've been battling a gambling problem for many years, was hiding it for my wife, which I'm sure is the cause of all my marriage problems, that I asked for prayers in the last message. On Thursday, July 16th,

I'd made the decision that I was going to take my own life because I couldn't take the stress anymore. Whoa. Yeah. That's heavy. Yeah, we got heavy. Well, we've made it to be able to end up. Real quick. Something told me to call a gentleman that I only knew in passing at work a few times.

I told him everything and what I was going to do. That man drove 44 minutes at 11 p.m. that night to my house. He showed up, made me confess to my wife and prayed over my entire household. The next morning, this gentleman's pastor called me, and he saved me. I sat on my porch and bawled my eyes out for the next 30 minutes and cried tears of joy on and off in the days, two to three days following. I made whole again and will live my life for our Lord and Savior. Just wanted to share my testimony. God bless you and your family.

Please keep me in your prayers. There you go. Dude, the hair on my body is standing up, man. You come close to taking yourself out. Yeah. Yeah. Thank God he made that phone call looking for help. I'll tell you.

And hey, blessed the man that came, drove that 44 hour or 44 minutes, whatever. Yeah. Hey, you know, he was God sent there. young man. Yeah. Always. Okay, so, hey, look, the Almighty is watching over you. You know, hey, keep your eyes focused on Jesus.

Don't ever let that thought enter your mind again about harming yourself. Yeah. Okay. You're created in the image of Jesus himself. Okay. And that's important. Hey, from now on, walk together. Hey, every once I go out in the woods and actually walk,

and talk to your creator. Well, I do it all the time every year. But hey, don't harm yourself, man. Yeah. That's a big, I mean, that's awesome, man. Look at God. That's all the thing you say in time like that. Look at God.

Oh, hey. That man was sent. And I think we can all admit there's times we don't really. We don't really feel like coming up here and recording this thing, but you get messages like that and you're like, what we're doing is worthwhile. If people have never hit the low that you was talking about you are going through, they're lying.

Well, I think it's important to know that the guy that showed up to your house made you confess stuff to your wife. That's right. We talk about, we've already talked about poker on this one. Yeah. Me and Martin talk about throwing $10 at the World Cup. But I make sure Martin knows,

I got people that know how much money I've put into something like that. And it's about $100. That's it. So I can't get in no trouble. And if I lose it, it's gone. And so a gambling addiction, man, that's a tough part of it. Well, and in today's world, it's easy to hide too because you can do it all from your phone. Yeah.

You don't have to go to a casino anymore. You can go in there and act like you're taking a dump and you can bet your house on the freaking world series if you want to. Like, you know. And it's all rigged anyway. It sure feels that way now that you see all the odds and everything that happened in real time. Very rigged. It's all the WWE.

Oh, man. It's, uh, it is interesting. So yeah, no, good, man. And that's facts, man. If you're hiding something from somebody you love, whether it be your wife or your friends or something, man, it eats at you and it eats at that relationship. Give God the glory, my man. He's watching over you.

Well, I think that's why he said, say my name. Say where I'm from. Because he wants the accountability. We talked a little more. Yep. Yeah, that's good. You know, West Bag. You never know.

He may be able to help other people now that got in the same predicament he was. That's exactly right. So he can talk to him. Yeah. Where they can understand it's just like somebody that don't have that trouble, you know. We're all on these different health journeys. And none of us are trying to be superheroes. Nah.

That's cool, man. That's awesome. Jamie, West Virginia, Mountain Air. I love it that, hey, it's got a good end to the story, my man. Yeah. I'm just glad the country roads brought you home. Hopefully, you're back right with your wife and your family.

I'm sure they got some stuff to work through. Oh, yeah. Which is fair. Well, hey, ever, hey, look here. Everybody does. Yeah. They're in a marriage that ever happened that don't have no trouble.

But we do hope and pray for full restoration. that relationship. Communication is the key, my man. Yeah. And you did that. You opened your heart and your mind to them. And they came and take care of you. And God's watching over you.

I'm telling you. Yeah. So, hey. Walk high with your head high, man. Oh, he is. The messages he sent after that were all like, I'm going at this full board. I want everybody to know it.

That's fun time, man. When you see somebody converter. Oh, hey. And they turn into, they turn into Paul for a little while. That's fine, man. I mean, it really is. It's cool.

Oh, no, no. And if there are anything like the guy that made all this possible, PR, he just never quit. That's why when I, one side, I said, whoa. I mean, I knew it heard,

it came from Si, but I heard Phil. Like, that's why I giggled. Oh, that was always one of Phil's moves. You tell him a story and he goes, whoa.

So even though it came out of Sy, I heard Phil say it. That's why I giggle. I wouldn't, so any of y'all in the comments, say, during this, no, man, you got to, yeah, I read this message about three or four days ago, five days ago, yeah, so I already knew what was coming. I went laughing at the situation,

but yeah, when I heard Phil come out of sigh with the, whoa, nope, I said, good. Well, when Jayne said, hey, you want to get something heavy, I didn't know who it was going to be that heavy. Yeah, it didn't. Well, that's a heavy thing. And I think we have a podcast that can psych people out because they never, no one signed up for what we just talked about. No. So if you were just trying to get away for the real world for a minute and something like that is going on in your real world, talk to somebody. Amen. Well, I got to bring up one thing here.

Yep. There's nothing more precious than a friend. Mm-hmm. Okay. And dude, that guy that drove the 44 minutes to come to you and then make you confess to your wife what you're doing wrong? That's a good dude there. That's a true friend. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, I bet it didn't feel like it while he was making you confess. Well, no, yeah. I mean, no, because I've been, I've been both of those guys. I've been the guy making somebody do it. And I've been the guy spilling my guts. And I remember one of them felt markedly better than the other. Oh, what you're talking about, Martin?

Yeah. One of those guys felt way better than the other one did. I mean, you hadn't always been the perfect husband, had to tell Britney's things. Oh, God, have mercy. No, sir. Oh, yeah, it sucks. Luckily for me, I have been perfect. Yeah.

Luck and Allison. Yeah. The real winner. Ain't we all? Just kidding. Yeah. Ain't we all. Ain't none of us ever hid nothing or, yeah.

I mean, it's just. In the year 2026 of our Lord, hiding stuff, no. Yeah. Not us. Hitting rock bottom telling your wife something she don't want to hear. It hurts her feelings. That's so much. Hey, I got news for all of us.

Hey, you thank you. You're hiding it. You ain't hiding nothing for them almighty. No. ain't hiding it. I ain't hiding it from the one that matters. That's for sure. But it will.

Doing that and trying to keep that in does eat away at every relationship in your life. It doesn't. And it starts with the relationships that you're closest, your most important relationships. And then they trickle out from there, right? Because I've seen people do it. I mean, it just, it does. So like confession is good. Well, that's like three times.

That's why God tells us to confess their sins because. Well, that's like to. three things faith hope and love the greatest one is love okay you are without hope and that man that come to you and made you confess to your wife what you was doing wrong he loved you enough to spend the time and the effort yeah okay because he thought you was worth it my man as you are and then it sounds like he got a man of the cloak involved yeah pastor of some sort a preacher and that's just And that's what people, I think sometimes we try and fix people on our own

when there's tons of people out there that, like, way more qualified. And this is the thing. Yeah, like, I ain't real qualified, but, I mean, I can point you to somebody that is.

Well, no, that's the key. I can be a really good yellow pages. Yeah. You all remember them? That's the key. I may not can help you.

Maybe Google. But I know the one that can. Yeah. Yeah, I can find you somebody. Okay. So I can, I can,

I can, point you to someone that will help you get to the one that I'm talking about. God, when you ain't ever walked through no rough spot, haven't. No. Oh, B. C.

Well, but today he looks so good he could try it through it. I could run through it. He'd be one in private dancers. Now we. Oh. Hey. Dancing on now.

Hey, we went from deep to strip. Yeah. Yeah. We're the only podcast. that could pull that one. Oh, yeah. Just John.

Well, we got size. Oh. Yeah. Oh, it's, that's a, I'm so glad

that dude made that phone call. Oh, I'm so glad that boy answered. It's such a healing when you do confess. You know, trying to hide stuff. Then you got to lie.

And you got to make bigger liars to cover your other lies. And that's one that I can't, I've never had a gambling problem. Uh, So I can't relate to that. But like, if you have that problem, I'm like, that sounds scary and just about anything. Yeah.

Because eventually you can't eat. Can't pay your house note. Like, once it gets to that point, he never really dove any deeper into it than that. But that is something like, I know we talk about it on here. But be careful if you even entertain it. Yeah. Yeah, that's a tough one. Yeah, you got to have, again, we.

bet on some stuff from time to time. Most of it is just for pure entertainment and to give us a reason to watch something that we wouldn't normally watch. But, yeah, I've never struggled with gambling at all. I realize I don't really care for the outright gamble. That's why I quit playing cards beside it. It went from a game of math to just an outright gamble.

And I was like, I'm out. Like, this is not fun anymore. We need to have a duck call room poker night. We've taken all skill from this game and it is just merely based on luck at this point. because everybody's all in the first hand, just flip them over, call it good. Am I wrong? I'll fix that. You get to the point.

Yeah. You know, we call it gambling, but it really is not as worse than bingo. Yeah, it's about the same odds as bingo. Yeah, it really is. Scratch off ticket. Your weights if somebody's job to bingo, okay? And I do love a scratch off ticket. It's one of my favorite things about Christmas.

I love getting my stocking from my mama because my mom still does it, And she put scratch-offs in all of our deal. But I don't have any desire to ever see another scratch-off unless it's a Christmas theme one. And then you scratch it off. You have fun and you do that. And then it's over. And then it's like you got $4.

And are you going to go buy the store and get four more dollars worth? Probably not. Nah. I'm going to buy a Dr. Pepper. Well, I don't drink those anymore. I could drink a whole case of them. But I'll probably get two Reese's Big Cups and call it good. Oh, that sounds nice.

Recy's Big Cup. You've been wearing them poncho shirts. My kids are wearing the poncho shirts. Martin's wearing the poncho shirts. Willie's wearing the poncho shirts. The thunder comes because we're all wearing poncho shirts. Pancho is a men's outdoor performance shirt that doesn't just look like one. You can fish in it.

The fits dialed in. They're not tight under their arms. They're not baggy, regular, slim or tall. Pancho's got you. Lightweight, breathable, just the right amount of stretch, which I love, quick drying,

and comes with a built-in UPF 50 plus. Pancho shirts even have extras like a hidden zipper pocket, sunglasses holder, and built-in lens cloths. It's one of my favorite things. It just feels good when you wear it. My sunglasses are always dirty, and I'm like, boom, boom, with a little poncho lens cleaner inside of it. Look, try one.

Yeah. Hiding any of it is terrible. You know, I mean, that just, it does. it affects every relationship you've got that's what i love about the first uh our church going down and praying for each other at the end of service that's that's pretty cool another part of feel i deeply miss when somebody would confess to phil because you better if you didn't want phil robertson to say it oh yeah you better not have told him he's had a few of manny he's got a few memorable once i have a story about a young john David Owen. I can't tell on this podcast.

It happened in a church building and Phil Robertson. Sure you can. You can tell it. No. Why not? We already talked about pop-up teleworkers. Well, there's kids that listen to this, and I don't want to be Phil. I would be the new Phil in the story, and kids are going to have to ask their parents what a word means. Because Phil said it 14 times in a prayer because a man was struggling with it. he comes to confess he's struggling with it that was he's wrestling no it wasn't me he's i didn't know what it meant he's wrestling with the devil who'd you ask one of my i was actually

i don't know that i asked but i was just like huh what's that what's he talking about and why's he keep saying all four syllables when it's only three no it's four but I'm telling you Phil had a way of adding an extra syllable to things Oh man Did it start with a P? No

No No Wait a asked Yeah Gobel remembers apparently Oh yeah I was there No

You weren't you earned a WFR back in them days Mac went down there It was like I love meth And we're like All right we love this guy We're gonna get them off that and then it just became open season on confessing. That is a crazy story though.

Mack, that's, that one's nutty. Huh? Yeah. Oh, they're telling you. Oh, I got that one. I'll do the impression.

It started with an M. There you go. Stop! I'll do the impression after we say cut. But it was a wacky. Man, how to be master of his domain. Hey, stop it.

Yeah. You're making Hunter's job hard. See, why would you say that? I don't know who I... Somebody's got to beat it out of him. Hey, somebody always punched his button when he got on one of him rants. I'm serious. And hey, here's the bad thing, man.

You couldn't cut him off either. I told you. It's one of the things I missed about it. Well, no, no, because y'all talk about his, I'm reading his daughter that he didn't know about. Phyllis, she wrote a book, and Phil gave her the title. Because when he met her, he grabbed her face in his hands. He said, I never knew.

Okay, but that's, that book was, was, So good for me to read because she was struggling as a teenager because she, her parents, she knew something was wrong. Yeah. Because she didn't look like none of them. And then she did something that nobody understood would look at her weird. Okay. But what got me was the whole time she's going toward God.

And so is Phil Robertson because that was when he was 20, and running with the devil. Yeah. Okay, but what got me was the parallel journey that they had together yet separate, but they were going till the Almighty, and it's so unique and just wonderful, God had all this worked out from the beginning. That's what we need to have on. No.

Phyllis. Well, hey, we'd be invited us for sure. Phyllis. Because it would be, you know, I mean, I'm crying now, listening to all these stories we're talking about Phil. Yeah, and I was crying while I was reading the book. Because you've got to think about it, okay? When Phil was, from birth to 28, that's pre-Jesus. He's running with the devil.

Okay, and I'm telling you, I'm as his brother. He didn't give a flip about me and treated me like trash. He didn't give a flip about himself and treated himself like trash. Oh, yeah. And he'd tell you that. Okay, and he would tell you himself. He never did. He didn't care.

Well, and, you know, when you look at somebody and then see him change, I mean, drastically. He don't have no goals for yourself or anything else. Well, you don't care about nothing because, you know. You're like Abel, just wondering. Yeah, you don't know what you're doing to begin with, okay. Yeah, but anyway, but it was just so plain while I'm reading it that they're both on a journey going toward God for the same reason. Because it healed both of them when they met. Yeah.

Okay, she found the father that she knew something was wrong. you know she said there's a dark secret here but you know between my mother and my and her sister i hear them whispered and and plus i don't fit in with none of the family you know that would be a wild thing to have to go through grow up with you and every time there was a family reunion you're the odd duck out because you're not you're not you don't look down none of these people all the grown-up needs they slid in there where y'all was about the most normal one i ever did No, no. Nice, right.

I don't think that word actually fits the Robbersons. That's why it's pretty easy to accomplish. I'm just saying, I don't think normal would fit in anywhere, anywhere. But, you know, that's why if stuff when you hear somebody say something and it jogs your memory about someone, your daughter's calling me you need to take that pretty wild

oh pretty while I'll get into me I'll call her back yeah we need to get you need to we'll get Phyllis on here yeah yeah she works with our friend Emily

yeah who was on the podcast oh yeah she's license and everything right yeah oh yeah no no yeah she's she's a nurse oh yeah we can have fellas come therapist no she's a therapist the rap yeah no no she went to his college and went back and You know, and actually studied that part of...

See, she ain't old Robertson. Oh. Nurses. Since the dawn of man, no Robertson ever actually made it to the end of college until Phyllis. And she liked it so much, she went back. Yeah. That's not true. Willie got a degree.

A P.E. Can't teach P.E. Health and human performance. Not at practice. Not certified. What did you get a degree in? Willie? Yeah.

He has a non-certified to teach P.E. degree. Oh, P. Yeah. Health and human performance. You know that by looking at him, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. That's why he blew his knee out playing basketball and everything else. That boy is a walking injury. I tell you what, though. I hung out with Willie. I was fishing his pond and here he come. I was like, uh-oh, should I run? And me and him talked for an hour.

It was nice. He was all sweaty and gross, though. Well, you don't ever see him. Did y'all catch anything? No. That pond. I got all them Japanese baits in that pond. Them fish came from Japan.

They're not fooled by them. You got to use American baits. I ordered them from Japan. They're just done insane. You got to get an American bait for them for these people. It was also like 2 o'clock in the afternoon and 98 degrees. Yeah, they ain't bad. But that was the only time I could do.

A wrong time, fish. It's hot. Anyways. Ready to go home. What a great episode. Let's go home. Let God and call his daughter. James 516.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. Amen. The prayer of a righteous person. as a great power and as it is as it is working. Jamie, I think Jesus said that. Pray him for you, brother. You'll yourself, physician.

What? We'll see y'all next. Good to hear that you healed, Jamie. Yeah, amen. Yeah. We'll see y'all next time. Right here in the duck car room. We're out.
