something I need to talk. Oh, I got a good story. He's got to get off his chest, he said, boy. Well, then, by all means, welcome to the duck call room. The early morning edition. Oh, yeah. Oh, but if you boys got something you want to talk about, let's talk about it, Gavin.

You went to Oregon. I went to Maryland. Yeah, we couldn't have been any further away from each other and been in the continental U.S. Where did you go to Oregon? I went up there to talk to the only 350 rednecks in Salem, Oregon. Oh, Salem Oregon? Yeah.

How many rednecks up? Do they have a lot? Where they hung all them witches. Hey, did they have witches in Salem, Oregon? No, I think that's Massachusetts. Massachusetts. They got them in Massachusetts. That's across the country.

That's over by where I was there. Yeah, no, it was, I offered them as soon as I got up there and they gave me the microphone, I offered every one of them to move to Louisiana. And they all times? Because y'all are severely outnumbered up here. But I also understand, you know, that that's also to kind of work, Jesus did, so I said, I commend y'all for staying because it'd be easy to run from this mess. I was at.

I mean, it just is what it is, you know. Baltimore. You were in Baltimore? That's where I flew into. Them people up there, they're not very happy. They ain't happy camper? They're not happy. But anyway, as our journey started, I have advice for all the women that listen and sheep rifles.

Okay. What is? Ms. Paula, as y'all know, has had many surgeries in the past. So there's a yellow square. When she goes through that and has put her hands up, yellow square shows up in the same place every time, every time. So they have to pat her down. But since they can't find anything, they wipe her down, too.

What that little wiped a deal? All you ladies out there. that shoot rifles. Do not. Do not use your purse for a sandbag when you're shooting your rifle.

Gunpowder all over it. You don't realize how much a gun when it shoots, sprays, powder out. Oh, yeah. I've watched CSI enough. I get it.

That's why they always have to powder down. She's got powder? No, I think there may be a staple left. from a previous surgery. Something, something's there because it shows up in the same place all the time, but they can't find nothing,

so they wipe her down. And if you use your purse for a sandbag when you're sighting in your rifle or just shooting it, you will go into the other room. They will cart you off and put you and delay you for a little bit. That reminds me of one of the first

times Brittany was down here and went hunting, coming down here when we were still dating. Gobbin one day just said, hey, hold this for me and threw her a shotgun shell. Well, she just put it in her pocket and never thought about it again. When they run her carry on through there, there was the shotgun shell. And buddy, you'd have thought. Yeah. She was trying to blow the whole thing up over a three-inch magnum shotgun shell that she had completely forgot about it when they pulled it out of there.

I just started died laughing because I remember gobbling going, hey, hold this for me. But they did the same thing. Took her picture, took everything. Put the shotgun shell beside her license, took it all. I mean, to make sure she wouldn't a repeat offender, I guess. Oh, they'll empty your purse completely. Hey, another pro tip. Run it back through.

Another pro tip. Don't carry a choke tube with you. Choke tube. What's wrong with a choke tube? It's a gun part. Yeah. Oh, that's true. Even though you ain't got nothing to put it in.

That's what Phil told him when he... Well, because you could meet him up in Atlanta with all your other buddies who brought all the other parts of the gun. Yeah, that's going to happen. One piece at a time. Yeah, you'd be better off. You'd be more dangerous for the roll of quarters than you were a choke tube. They'll let you tow to roll a roll of quarters on. Oh, you got it.

No, you got to bust that roll now. Do you? What had happened to Phil? He'd run his bag to him and, you know, the guy... The guy was looking at it on that way, and he asked me, he said, what does that look like to you? It looks like a 30-thirty, but it's me, you idiot. He'll keep his way, sir.

He came over here. Phil said, hey, I don't need it. Yeah, go ahead and give it. He said, I ain't got the gun, the guns at the house. There ain't no telling how many. Well, I just quit carrying a pocket knife because of teeth. Oh, yeah. Because I could never remember to not take it with me.

So or take it out of my... And it's either a walk back out and start that whole process over or throw it away. Oh, them boys has got some good knives. Oh, what you're telling? I mean, I appreciate what they're doing. I was about to say, I do feel, I always feel very safe. I can see the needs for it. Because, you know, right, I can't even bring shampoo.

Well, the one that got me so bad, you know, they started out with these Havelin knives. I don't know if anybody's... But you can take the blade off of them, right? That's for people that... that aren't adept at sharpening a knife, like myself, I can't do it, it's worse than when I started. You can just swap the blades out. So I had one of those with me and I said,

well look, why don't we just take the blade off and throw it in the garbage and I can keep my frame? Yeah. Because that thing's kind of expensive. Yeah. Fice. No. No good.

I said the blade will pop off here. Give me two seconds. I take that blade off and then I just have a holder. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's out too. So just moral of the story, leave them at the house. And then when your buddy asked you for a knife and you say,

I ain't got one, remind him how much you fly. That's fine. Go up there to TSA. He got it. I asked him for that orange. Yeah. When we went to Peru when we were flying back, they would take anything they confiscated and put it in these huge glass bins

to just show everything they had. That ain't okay. Brough, they had every sort of tool you could imagine. I'm like, man, people of Peru trying to. Get some stuff on an airplane, start fixing things. There you go. No, it's, I will say this, though, for those people, you know, we did this a few weeks ago. But there are two people that don't get enough thank you, and that is a TSA agent and then a gate agent for the airlines.

Yeah. Because they are sacrificial lambs, both of them. It's not. Son, they are the ones thrown to the wolves. You hear me? It ain't there doing. No. I saw some old boy.

I saw some old boy in DFW just chunk his carry on. at the ticket counter because he missed his flight and his plane was still down there at the end of the jet. Throwing your bag always fixes everything. Yeah, they actually laid him on because he threw his bag at the ticket. No, you idiot. I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know.

I actually almost had that happen yesterday. Almost missed. Because of a ticket counter woman wasn't having a good day. Like I said, Baltimore, they're not very happy over there. She told people to sit down. that when she got their seat, she'd let them know. So thank you?

Well, that is. I mean, they do. But, you know, she's probably, like you say, she's 1,500 people coming up there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we was late just getting on the plane. Yeah. But it's not their fault. No.

Why weren't they happy about it? I started at the, oh, well, they just, I don't know, they just, them people up there. It ain't, it ain't just, it's the people working in the, I got me a biscuit, you know, sausage biscuit, them people, they ain't happy. That's why he was. Nobody was happy in Baltimore. I met some fans from Ohio the other day that were in town and they're like, everyone's so friendly here. And I was like, what do you mean?

They're like, people tell me how cute my baby is. And I was like, well, it's a cute kid. Why would they? They're like, people don't say that at home. I was like, I'm sorry. Yeah, I mean, there's the always deal, though, of the walking that line of mine and your own business and being friendly. Sometimes it comes off as

stay out of my business. I noticed that in bigger town. You know, I've had a lot of people tell me. Like Baltimore or New York or stuff like that. It's not as it's not as. I don't get, what am I trying to say?

I guess intimate. You know, I mean, people. Well, you don't know anybody. Yeah, I know. I know people that live in Dallas and they live two hours from each other. Dallas. I would be in every other bordering state if I went two hours somewhere.

Yeah, you could from here. People in Dallas are friendly. Southern hospitality is a real thing, though. It is. It is. It's different. It's just different. Yeah.

But anyway, we're approaching our first break. To our fans in Baltimore, cheer up. Hey, both of you. You two. Have this good cross and chill out. Yeah, probably ain't many people in Baltimore are watching us. Let me tell you, no, there is, because there's some of our friends from one way or with Under Armour that watch this thing. I know because they text me.

So there are some folks in Baltimore, or the area, the area of Baltimore. Now, Bel Air, that's a different story. The Prince of Bell Air? Oh, no. He wasn't there. But look, we're up against it. I do want to before we go to break. What are we up again?

The break. Say thank you to our friend Nancy Harder. What a Nancy? Nancy said. Nancy Harder. Why am I thinking? From West Virginia, sent a whole box. What is that?

Oh, good, Greek. Well, before we close it, hey, I got live from down. Thank you, Nancy. Thank you, Nancy. That was Indiana, O-N-C-A-L-E and then Indiana Robertson. Why did you put that away?

O-N-C-L-A-E. On-C-C-L-A-E? Yeah. Got to be it. We both said it. Yeah. Oh, you got to be it. the package yeah right there yeah read it see what see what's there right there it says live from

darrell's house oh it's from rick rick thank you rick oh kale maybe on cal oh n c a L-E oh yeah rick's always in the comment back oh yeah rick's seen him what up rick i've seen indiana robertson i think i think he's saying he's from Indiana and your last name is Robertson yeah let's not get too confused that ain't what it says It's not a great way to type. No, I've seen Rick in our comment bags. So, Rick. Thanks for the T-shirt.

What up, Rick? I put that box back. I think Nancy. You can have one in the break. It'll be fine. All right, let's take a break. We'll be back. We'll be back.

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 Trial's beef makes such a good product, baby.

Ain't it good? It's so good. It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from.

But with Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales 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 Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat either, folks. Yeah, just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Cy, what did you do this weekend? Nothing.

What's all the basketball games? And what's your takeaway? Who's your favorite for March Madness? Right now. Right now's Tennessee. The Valls? The Valls. My wife would be thrilled to hear.

Oh, no, no, no. Look, hey, they play some serious ball. Rocky Top will always be. Home sweet home to me. I mean, hey, they don't. Good old Rocky Top. Woo! Rocky Talk.

I had to go that far. You had to go that far. I don't care if you're from Florida. That's a good song. I don't even watch basketball. That daggone song. Woo! I don't care who you are.

My uncle Sammy's so proud of me right now for singing that. Oh, my wife. That makes you want to just slap you knee. If my wife listen to this, thing she'd be fired oh hey she'll never know no I'm gonna have to tell her about that

so that's what so your favorite is Tennessee you're calling Tennessee for the national champ Johnny Dish should we do a duck call room bracket I think we should do a duck call room bracket of things that we like all of the uh

black panthers peanut butter cups I'm saying that they'll be in the final four he's calling Tennessee to the final four no no no no no no no no So can I have one of the 67 other teams? Well, they only got to beat 16, 15 other teams to get the final four. There's 67 teams playing?

There's a bunch of them. 68, yeah. Wow. Everybody gets a trophy. That's why we're talking about, hey, yeah, all right, figure it out who's going to win. Yeah, okay. Add four more. Yeah.

Just like, and look, the football people ain't going to be happy until their 68 teams in that playoff either. Amen. All of them. We got to get ULM in the football playoff there. There's going to be a three, before it's over. over with there's going to be a three-game season. Amen. And everything else is the playoff.

Do you make it matter, baby? I can call it good. Because, you know, those regular season games just don't count. No. Whatever argument that is. They're just trying to figure out a way to weed out watching Alabama versus Georgia. It's still going to happen. Still going to happen.

Same way with basketball. But eventually somebody else takes over. It used to be Duke, North Carolina. Now you see like Baylor and Arizona and all them other people that make it, Kansas. I'm excited, though, because it feels. like sports are kind of almost back to normal yeah well that's the cool thing about traveling now is like we're going to rooms filled with people and you know there's no mask or none of that so it feels like we're getting we're coming out of this thing March 18th then we're going to have to wear them to fly

March 18th my next flight that's only four days I don't see any groundbreaking legislation drop in between that that's what they said March 18th well where are you flying 18th Virginia. Virginia. West Virginia? No. I don't know. It's the Richmond.

I'm flying into Richmond. Oh, that's the regulation one there. No, that's the 26. That's another thing that's playing a good box. What's that? In your tech. Okay. I thought you were going to say Richmond.

Virginia Tech, but are they the real deal? Richmond's where I'm flying into. Yeah, they're the real deal. Oh. I like Richmond. Go Spock. It's like right now, the pandemic has made everybody that plays basketball mad and they're just they are playing some serious basketball.

Of course, the argument could be that nobody's playing defense anymore. Well, no, I wouldn't say that. Unless you only plays defense. They've been some serious ball playing there lately. Because they can't score. Yeah, they can't shoot. But it is nice to see fans in the stand.

Because I didn't even watch sports for a while there. It was just so boring. Yeah, and when they decided, oh, we'll put a computer-generated audience. No, that's a guard. That was weird. That's a gar. We'll just put some posters up there. That would be live, baby.

Yeah, in person. Poster's up. It is good. Everything's better live from Daryl's House, boys. Can we talk about my... Give a little plug, boys. Yeah, talk about it. I got a serious issue with the clock.

With clock? Oh, time change. What? Why are we? America. I'm with you. It's time to wake up. And here's a deal.

It's for the farmers. I don't care which one we go with. I do. But just pick one. I mean, I would. I prefer the one we're in right now. I mean, it was the worst morning ever, especially with three young children. Taking them to school in the dark?

Oh, well. You don't even know the difference. The last, they lose an hour and everything's throwing. You lost three hours. Yeah, well, and I made them right back up. And I lost two hours. But then when the sun, you get off work and the sun's still shining, it's the man. All that's make believe anyway.

What, time? Yeah. Huh? Times make believe. I don't know what we're talking. What is amazing. How did you move an hour up or how did you move an hour back? So let's just get off work.

A bunch of bull, okay? I do prefer this one because when you get off, you still got about two to three hours of daylight. I'd say let's back up. Let me tell you. 30 minutes. You want to know what to difference is? Oh.

You want to know what the difference is? Well, for me. Well, me. For me? Look, if we had this time right now. Amen. In duck season, we wouldn't wake up until 5.30 or six. That's what I'm talking about.

Do you know how much mentally better off you would be if you slept till 5.30 every day instead of having to wake up at 4.30? They probably don't. And then you get off work and you go outside and the birds are still chirping. I'll tell you what is amazing, though, and incredible is how this simple math problem of time change confuses some of the most intelligent people. They cannot deal with it. How many people showed up to church? Was it earlier late yesterday?

Late. Yeah. How many people showed up at the invitation yesterday? I know there's fans right now. Well, they usually do anyway. They were there for the important part, huh? They were there for the part of this. They made it for the right part, boy.

They just needed to respond. That's right, right. Get prayer at the end. But it is. Time change boggles some intelligent people's mind. Well, Arizona doesn't do it at all, but they're on the other one, I think. They're on the old. They just don't move.

Yeah. Well, I'm fine. I just pick one. I would prefer this one, but if we could just pick one, I'm totally cool with it. I would prefer to keep switching if they're going to go back to the old one. Yeah, let's back up 30 minutes. We'll meet them halfway and just go with it. They're just going to change time by 30 months.

God was I split the difference. Negotiation, boys. I'm not against that either. I'm just being polite. Because the sun sets later anyway. So, like, used to. These are getting longer. It was dark at 5.30.

Mm-hmm. I left at 9 and I landed at 9. What? I left at 9 and then I landed at 9. Where? Well, I, so. That's where we went to Scotland. We got back the day before.

we left. That's what. That's why it bothers everybody's mind. I'm telling you. It just throws everybody up. That's why I mess everybody up. Wait a minute. I got over planning 9 o'clock and then I landed at 9 o'clock after I'd been in half for an hour. It works on New Year's Eve though because you can just show your kids like whatever London does and you're like, happy New Year go to bed. I don't care. London can fall down all this. I care. They did The bridge did That's right

That's where I'm at On this bed He said Landa can fall down For all I'm here Oh Landa Wow I wrote it, boys Hey, whatever

Good, Cory I sold a vacuum yesterday He sold a vacuum Yeah, he was collecting Was it a Kirby? Hold it That went by me too quick What did you say?

That went Probably too quick. There's a goblin for you. I said I sold a vacuum yesterday. It was just collecting dust. It was just collecting dust. Okay. Oh my goodness.

Yeah, I saw one that reminded me a galvan said there were three guys on a boat. They had four cigarettes, but no lighters. Do you know what they did? Why? They threw one overboard. That way their boat was a cigarette lighter. You know what the socks said to the pants? Where you been?

What's up, Britchie? Ha. That was a good book. That one right there was worthy of going to break on. We'll be right back. Welcome to podcast comedy hour. There you go. We got it.

All right after this. Oh, my goodness. I could do this all day. Throw it down. Okay. There it was. What else y'all want to talk about? I don't know.

If we were to do a bracket of the duck call room, our 64. favorite things from the duck call room 64 favorite the number one overall seed because i'm just using my instagram messages like panthers yeah that's the number one overall seed it's something that doesn't exist yeah so if that tells you what we're at i beg your pardon i'm not going on this you believe i don't whatever i believe i've seen him he promised you a rose garden that right you better get up my rose garden what would racy's peanut butter cup

Holiday Reese's. That might be a one seed because I just had half. If we got 64, it probably would be. And then Christmas tree cakes would be another one. Amen to that. And then the other one would be. Ice cream. No, that's not.

That's not a one seed. The ice cream was... What? Well, if it is, it's going to get upset very quickly. We talked about it a whole lot. That's because it don't last long. I ain't got the endurance. It's gone before it started.

Black Panthers is the Duck Call Room one seed. Yeah. Holiday Reese's, one seed. Christmas tree cakes. One seed. What did, what? Lemon packets? Is that what you're putting as a one seed?

I'm out on. No animals were hurting and the fem under this. No. The Black Panthers' feelings were hurt, though, because Martin says they're not real. There's one on this table. That's as close as you're going to get. What about the one at the Monroe Zoo?

He's a Jaguar. Jaguar. Jaguar. Jaguar boys. Again, I got no problems with black Jaguars. I got problems with Black Jaguars. If we did this, we could let the fans vote. And I think if the fans voted,

the Black Panthers going to win. All right, as long as you get in. We ain't got to do it. I just always go when I was in, down there was the Seminole Indians. Okay. They had a big cat in a cage. Jaguar.

And on the cage, what did it say? Was two words. What were those two words? What color was he? He was gray. You can see, you can see the spot. Okay.

Hey, he was with us. Well, no, no, no, no, no. Look, but if you got up and looked closely, there was black in the gray. There was potential for him to be black. Yeah. Hey, there was black in the gray. But what color was he? He was blackish gray.

No. I had heard this part of the story that he was gray. Yeah. And gray is a strong term. for brown. I've been following you on this and I didn't know that that. You got gray and you eat in the black. But you start at the color of your hoodie, which is where that cat was.

That's a Basset hound. That's not a black panther. But the one of the Monroe's do is a black panther. Same side. We're going to have to go see Judge Steve Harvey over this and let him to turn. Okay. Hey, I will go with what the ruling is, baby. Let's go see Judge Harvey.

That would be the greatest episode of both the Duck Call Room and Judge Stewart's. I love that man. Okay. I didn't tell you that I love, I love Steve Harvey. Do you? Oh, I'm serious. Oh, Steve. He was with Duck Dasty and, hey, he was a hoot.

Oh, yeah. When were you with Steve Harvey? They did Celebrity Family Feas. Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah. How did you? No, that one, no, I didn't make that one.

I was either sick or something happened. I didn't get invited on that. Oh, yeah. Something happened and you couldn't go. Well, I think so because I didn't get to make that one. When did you meet Steve Hart? A day show or something. We were on, it was in New York.

Yeah. New York. And the best part of it was when Phil said, hey, Steve, you need to come duck hunt loose. He looked, he looked at Phil. And he said, wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're talking about you're going to get me with a bunch of white boys with shotgun. and I'm a black man, and you're going to take me out in the swamp,

and we're going to supposedly hunt duck. Yeah, it was hilarious. It was hilarious. You know what the funnest thing to do in New York is? What? Go to Times Square. A taxi drive. A taxi drive?

You bet you. There they are. Look at you. Them, dude. Oh, no, I had a ride. All them lines on white lines and stuff, they're just. Man, it's always my... And look at Sai wearing a 2X shirt.

Oh, no. Yeah, but hey, the man is always smiling. Steve Harvey is. Well, yeah, if you got teeth like that you're going to smile. He's just saying. Hey, he's got a good smile. That's a good thing. You're always smiling. He's always happy.

He is. Oh, y'all were on Jimmy Fallon the same night Steve Harvey was on Jim. Oh, is that one of it was? Yeah. Well, see, I just knew we were together somewhere. And we had a right. That is two of the craziest men in America. Oh, no.

And, hey, we had more fun. Sitting right there together. Yeah. That's good. He's got the greatest show that he's ever had on. Greatest show on Earth. That's right. Judge Steve Harvey.

Okay. This is not a paid endorsement. Oh, well, no, no. I'm just saying, hey, you need to watch. I legitimately like that show. Hey, it's worth the money, boys. Watch it. You have to pay.

It's on ABC. Well, hey, you've got to pay for it somewhere. Somebody's got to pay for it. It's free. Yeah. Somebody's paying for it. Okay. Oh, yeah.

They pay them for it now with them taxes. I don't even know what we're talking about. I don't either. I like family feud bloopers. I do too. Steve Harvey. Steve Harvey, you judge Steve Harvey's better than it.

Is it? Oh, yeah. I still have a while. I don't know where we go from here, Martin. You're in charge. Let's go fishing. Let's take a break. Oh, I'm eating.

All right. We're going to do a little different today. I think we have enough emails, thanks to all of y'all emailing at hello at duck callroom.com. Then we're going to probably try to do two segments worth of email. So Johnny D, what is in that duck call room mail bag oh boy oh boy oh boy all right here's one you can say that again oh boy oh boy oh boy here's one from carter i like your name from carter from decatur indiana

there's a debate going on in the social media world apparently i'm not honored enough to know if this is true or not but he asked a question that needs answered what's that is there more doors in the world Or more wheels? More doors or wheels? Well, how do we know this? If you have a car, we just want our pan. And it has four doors,

it's got the same amount of doors as wheels. Oh. But there's way more buildings than there are tired vehicles, right? Well, it could be any kind of wheel, I guess. What kind of? Trailer wheel? Yeah, but I mean. Bicycle wheel?

Yeah, I don't know. And I think... I'm going doors. Does he know the answer? I think we've got to wait to get to heaven and ask to find out the correct answer. More doors than wheel. Now, here's what I tell you about heaven.

Now, wait a minute. He's adding more doors up there every day. When they invented the wheel, there were no doors. I would say there were doors before there were wheels, huh? You're thinking of a... I'm saying you're using the interpretation of doors something on hinges. Yeah, that... I guarantee you they rolled a rock.

across their cave to keep people out of it. That's a door. Way. Doorway. Not a door. So the rock is not an actual door. No, it's a wheel. So it's a border to keep something out, but it's not a door.

It's a wheel. Okay. Apparently this is a real. I'm Googling it now, which I probably should have done before. I asked the question. I'm still going doors. The poll on Twitter says 53.6% of people said wheels. But I think Goblin just ended the debate with cars have doors.

Yeah. So any four-wheel car has two or four. Yeah. Now, there's a lot of houses with wheels, and the amount of wheels that they have on there do not outnumber the doors. That's right. Make that right, side. Well, I don't know.

No, because there's eight wheels on a trailer and only two doors. There's more than two doors. No, there's more than two doors. Well, I guess you got the end of that. There's about six doors. There's doors on the inside. I didn't think, I was thinking out. Including windows in this?

I'm a door man. No, no windows. That's a window. But look, that first round rock that they called a wheel. I can make it a door. Was a wheel before they knew it was a wheel. What about that? What about the door before the wheel?

Gobin's only thinking of a door or something on hinges. But. But. Well, he didn't clarify. But even these chairs have wheels. Because yeah, they do. I'm still going with doors. Why are you going with doors?

Because it seems like the smart thing to do. And I'm in the minority, which I like taking the other side of things a lot. Doors and wheels. You're trying to be a door. What if there's the same amount of doors as there are a wheel? Well, then we're both wrong because we picked the side. Take the push. Take the push.

But they was a wheel before there was a door. There was a wheel laying there before they called it a wheel, but it was laying there for thousands of years the whole time. No. Now, what do you think, Sire? The door was before the wheel. You think, sir? Oh, there's no doubt about it.

I think people were using things to keep stuff out of their house or their domicile before they was rolling around a wheelbarrow. Yeah. If you look up, when was the wheel invented? I guarantee the door was way before that. Before. Before. The door will be okay.

It was invented when God said let there be. The wheel or the door? That's when the wheel was invented. Because that thing was laying there the whole time. They just didn't call it a wheel. God was on that wheel back hard. I think I'm team wheel. He's team wheel boys.

I don't know. What is that? I'm team door. I was Martin on this door is before. No, well, because I'm looking around and there's like 30-something wheels in this room. That's fine, and there's only two doors. And there's only two doors.

Yeah, that's fine. There you go. So I'm thinking about how many rooms, but at my house. How many rooms are like this? There are four wheels. No, there's more wheels. Well, I'm saying there's four that aren't canceled out. Okay.

What about all the wheels? You got any wheels on you? cabinets in there. Ooh. I do. But there's doors on all them cabinets. You got a well on your lawn mall.

This is harder than I thought. Carter, why would you send this? You got whales on all kind of stuff. The answer is door. Well, I can not believe that me and Silas agree on something. It's well.

It strongly makes me think I should be taking the other side of this argument. Side Martner team door. No. It's easy. What do you mean it's easy? Godwin, let me ask you a question. There's a door before the wheel.

I want to know where Godwin stands on this. How many tires your boat got on it? My boat? Yeah. Or the trailer? What, the trailer. Your whole rig. Five?

Five with a spare. Yeah. How many doors your boat got on it? One, two. So he is calling a compartment a door. Okay, I'm just making sure. Department doors. So you're in the plus.

Yeah. So plus one door on the boat. Plus one door. But how many wheels are in his reels? Those are bearings. Them are gears. There's gears. What my line's on is the wheels.

Spool. Is a spool of a wheel? Now we're getting into a weirder debate of what is a wheel. What's a door? What is a door? I got more wheels in my boat than doors. But you just said you had five. Would you say a door is an entrance?

Well, I was thinking about what all I had in there. Well, would you say that a door? Okay, so the lid to a tackle box, is that a door? I'll fix that. Is the door? We're on this hot dog sandwich bagging. That's what we've done, dear. That's a cover.

See, that's what I've said. There's going to have to be a definition in here of what is what. I'm still going with a door. Is a door or entrance? A door or entrance? No. Yeah, is a door a entrance? No.

It is. There's an entrance to a canyon when you leave Denver on that highway. That's an answer. What? But there ain't no door. That's entrance. I give up. All right.

I'm still going door just so I've got a side to take. Well. All right. Team door. It's a wheel. Your door? I'm a door. I'm kind of round like a wheel anyway.

I'm going with Godwin. If I roll Godwin across the floor, is he a wheel? If I stand him in there and have to move him, is he a door? Yes, to both. That's why, hey, you got to have, you got to define. No, y'all just scared you're going to lose now. Oh, no, I ain't no scared. I'm looking for it.

I ain't scared. No, I made my pick. I'm a wheel. Those wheels before doors. Team wheel versus team. Well, ladies and gentlemen, the duck call room is officially divided. We're split. 50-50.

50-50. Let us know what you think. More doors, more wheels. And we may revisit this, although it hurts. Who had any idea that this conversation was going to take 10 minutes? Find us another one. Find us something else. Well, find us one as soon as we get back from this break.

We'll be back right after this. We go. Y'all want something serious or something scary? That's some serious. You want serious? Something scary? Is that what you said? Yeah, I got a scary one.

What about it's scary and serious? It's something old. I don't know that I got both, but... He got seriously scared. Here's a very, very, very, very, very serious one. How about that? Is that what you want? That'll work.

That'll work. So I wants to get serious. My name is John, and I need advice with my faith. Here in the last month, I've lost my grandfather, my uncle, and my uncle, two of the most godly men I know. And then three days ago, my girlfriend who I've been dating for a year broke up with me. Well, no, that's not what it says. They broke up.

I don't know who's who. who broke up with who everything happens for a reason but he's been really depressed with all this stuff going on just really tough right now what do you think i should do i've tried to pray but it seems like he's not answering thanks john it's okay to be mad at god it's okay it uh but none of that came from god nothing bad comes from god it comes from the devil and you got to realize that and that's what keeps you going because nothing bad comes from god but you're going to get mad at him it's kind of it's kind of tough yeah yeah i've been there he lost what he'd lose is your granddad and his uncle yep yeah i lost my granddad and my dad a month from each other you don't think

i wasn't a little irate i was trying to figure out why why why why newsflash change the why to why not like what makes you special what keeps this from happening to you and the answer is nothing that it's just a part of life and how you deal with it is where you're going to learn and where you're going to grow it's okay to be mad it's okay to be upset it's okay to question but the chances are when you say god's not answering he is answering you don't like the answer that's the problem you're not ready to accept what that answer is when you get to that point it will all make sense believe that trust me and it takes a little while i'm not saying you're going to ask why not tomorrow and be like oh no that's not what i'm saying but what i am saying is

it gets better it gets easier and you're your ear finally listen to what the answer would be instead of just hearing. You're actually listening then. I'll give you an example that I did once. I prayed to God today, you know, give me patience. Well, the next thing that happened is my wife's pregnant, okay. I didn't ask for a child, okay? I asked for patience.

I see where we're going. answer was, okay, hey, here you go, try this out and see what happens. Okay, so the child taught me patience. There you go. Okay. So I didn't like his answer. Yeah. A lot of times we don't like it.

Well, no, no, because that's the time most people don't realize. God has a bunch of answers he can give you. It can be just flat out, no, you don't get it. Or it could be just like me again. Another example. Okay, if God had gave me the show Duck Dynasty when I was in my 20s. Oh, buddy. He would have wasted his time and the whole gift would have been wasted.

Yep. Okay, because I wouldn't have used it for what he designed for me to have it for. Yep. Okay, that's the reason he waited and gave it to me. later in life. So there's a lot of times when it's okay, hey, you know, it's one of them things about, okay, are you ready for the truth? No, like the movie, you can't handle the truth.

So, hey, wait for it. Yeah, okay? On down the road, I will give you this when you can really handle it. Yeah, well, and it comes with maturity. Yeah. Like, good Lord knows when you're mature enough to handle whatever he's going to give it to you. You know, it's, but that all goes back to faith. But I would say when you feel like they're not being answered, don't quit talking.

Yeah. Keep talking. Keep asking. I'll go down a weird story of myself. Yeah. Don't think you're alone and wondering, where's the answer? Uh-huh. I've given my testimony once in life.

And my son, who, ah, who! Here we go. All right, we're good. We're going to laugh. No, he was airlifted at nine days old to New Orleans four hours away, spent 76 days there in the hospital. And in the middle of that, I had a full mental breakdown by myself in my house while my wife and child were four hours away. And I was screaming at the roof, I guess at God, screaming, where are you? Because it felt like he wasn't there.

Because for the first time in my life, there was major adversity. And I didn't know what to do. He was four hours away. Taking care of your little man. Yeah, exactly. That's a great. Yeah, Mark, he was four hours away from you. You're taking care of a little man.

So don't ever look and think, I guess what I'm trying to say is everybody goes through it. Amen. You're going to lose somebody at some point. You're going to think you're going to lose somebody at some point. And everybody at some point in life feels like, where's, I feel alone. I feel left. Here's a good one for you. Turn that around.

Okay. Because, hey, you had your time with your uncle and you had your. time was your grandfather. Okay. That's one of the worst thing that happened in my life is I did not get to know my grandfathers. And the cool thing is, too, he said that they were two of the most godly men that he knew. So there ain't no reason to be sad, brother.

Yeah, that's another reason, okay, is that because you know where they're at and who they're with. Yeah. Okay. And you wouldn't wish them back for them. from there if you could. Yeah. That's the best part of it, okay?

The loss is going to be felt. But here's the great thing about that. You know where they're at, you know who they're with, and you know what they're surrounded by the rest of their lives. Oh, yeah. There was a time in my life I couldn't answer. Like, yes, I was right there where he was. Oh, no, yeah.

You know? With all the doubt. Yeah, oh, my goodness. Doubt. Yeah. Because you realize in all those moments, what a human hates the most is a lack of control and you understand i had no control over this but when you realize that's a humbling thing when you realize i never was in control of it oh crap yeah i never

was in control of this i just thought i was that's exactly right and this question to me it goes everybody always asks why do bad things happen to good people right and that's that's a tough answer and my only thing with that is the the 12 dudes that followed jesus closely either got their head chopped off were also hung on a cross and only one of them got to die peacefully bold and old bold and old not that that wasn't the peaceful one he got banished to an island out by himself yeah so you know i think sometimes we think the blessings of the lord are all about this earth and some of them are the lord blessings He blessed you with a great grandfather and a great uncle, right?

But sometimes we got to just look at the cross and say, that's enough. That's all we really, at the end of the day, all we really need to know is that Jesus died and the grave couldn't hold him. At the end of the day, this life may stink. And yeah, it's easy for me to say that because it's going all right right now. But there was a time where I thought, I'm going to lose my son. And there's going to be a time again. And yeah.

It's coming back. One day I'll lose my parents. One day I'll lose my grandmother who got pulled over by Spike Strip the other day. And that'll be a sad, sad day. But we'll all be standing there talking about it. And we'll tell that story again. And, you know, it is tough to know that bad things are going to happen on this earth. But just remember, the price was paid no matter how bad it gets.

One day. There's all going to be made for. I just wonder when Jesus. was in the garden. In blood, he was just sweating blood. What was he thinking? Yeah, where was he at? That's one of my favorite.

That was one of my favorite passages because it showed the humanity in Christ. And it's always the same. And he knew, he already knew the answer. There's this big misconception too that once you accept Jesus and you follow God that it should be easy. I'm in a protective bubble.

I'm protected. That was my thinking of it. I'm now in a protective bubble. And you're right, though. Nothing can get to you. Well, no, no. In the end. Because you went.

In the end. But while we're here, there's plenty that can and we'll get to you. Well, I always liked it this way. And I don't even remember who told me this. Tell me, okay, look, Life happens. Amen.

Okay. It happens even quickly when you're the older. Yeah, but the thing about it is, the key to it is life happens. The next thing is up to you. What are you going to do with it? Yeah. Because your buddies right now know what you've gone through. And they're going to watch for your reaction to what happens from here on out.

And it may determine where their faith lies because they, know that your uncle and your granddad passed away. So somebody's going to be looking at you at how you react to this situation. And you can either show them God, show them Jesus, or you can show them a tormented guy that is struggling. Both of those are okay as long as we get to showing God and showing Jesus. There's no right way to grieve. There's no wrong way to grieve. Just know that you ain't alone and there's people that have been through it since the beginning of time and there's going to be people that continue to go through it. That's all my deal.

But somebody is watching you right now. You're an example to somebody whether you realize it or not. And here's the deal. Everything you go through in this life is doing something, preparing you for something. Yep. Yeah. And that's why I said life happens.

And then you've got to deal with it. How you deal with it. Okay. Because I always say this. I don't know how people deal with it that don't know God. Okay. Because I know for a fact, me personally. Now, I couldn't face everything I got to face without him.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. He is my anchor, okay? He's what holds me steadfast and I can look up like I told you. Your uncle and your grandfather, you know where they went. you know who they're with. And look, that gives me peace of mind.

Okay, because one day I'm going to see them again. Okay, because I've never known my grandfathers. But one day I will meet them. Amen. Yeah. And that's just where I look at it. Me too, and it may explain a lot. Yeah.

About you. Well, no, no, because, hey, look, I've always watched, okay, people that has had a relationship with their grandfather. grandfather and grandmother, okay? You get something from them that no one else on this earth can give you. Amen. And I guess it's the thing about, okay, they're done with raising their kids. So their grandkids, now they can go, okay, I don't have to worry about all this.

I can actually give my time to this young person. Amen. Okay, and I can tell them what I went through in this journey of life. Yep, yeah. Okay. So it's something there that's special. Okay, it really is. Well, you raise your kids,

and then they leave the nest, and you're taking a break, and then along come grandkids, and then go, just like you say. Oh, no. Now I can start over. Yeah. Well, you want to.

Just if I can change what I did with my son, well, I didn't do too good. I don't think. Gobin, I say you got your Bible open there on your phone. You want to close us out with a verse for this year? Well, it's a great verse to end it on. It's 1 Peter 4.12. This is what Paul's got to say, or Peter's got to say to you.

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you as though something strange were happening. But rejoicing as much as you participate in the sufferings of Christ so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. That is insane. Because I had a verse ready. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, when you trace trials of many kinds.

Preaching. Because you know that the testing of your faith produces persevere. Like we were both on the exact same page. James. One and two, yeah. But that's an amazing. I didn't even think of that one, and that was amazing, God.

Here's what I'll tell you. Old Jimmy was an insightful fella. And so was old Peter. Yeah, Peter was too. But old Jimmy, I go to Jimmy. often. Me and Jimmy be tight. That's an amazing very like it's strange. Yeah.

Wow. The part that always gets me there in the James one is pure joy. Here's the whole thing. Harder. And I always remember. Wrap us up side. Footprints in the sand. Yep.

Okay. The guy's actually saying, God, where was you? I can only see my footprints. He said, my son, you don't understand. Those are not your footprints. That's mine. That's mine. I've got you in my arms.

I'm toting you, Jack. Yeah, amen. Well, we'll see y'all next time right here. Love y'all. We're out. We're out. You know next to you.
