Lady. Dony Dee, congratulations. You're an influencer. I'm an influencer. You just influenced Hunter. I influenced the 130-pound man to try and lose weight. I'm really proud of it. Sadly, you haven't influenced his mode of dress.

Yeah. Hunter was like, I got to get healthier. I got to get healthier. So I'm going to start running like Johnny D. Because you know what? This 160's hitting a little harder at 24 than it did at 23. Hunter's going to go have him some chicken breast and rice tonight. Hunter, you can eat pizza.

Do it. Yeah. Hunter doesn't have a microphone. I got a mic. Oh, he forgot to plug it in. Until those numbers start with three live life, man. Like, because you can, you can just, you're fine. Like, it's all fine. I'm only like 180.

180? Yeah. Pounds? Hunter, I ain't been 180 since junior high. That's not funny. I didn't know how to respond to that. I'm sorry. I may have even been there in the sixth grade when I had to go to the special shed

to get away for football. You know, I had to go with one. one with no lights. That way you can still play. That way I can still play because there's a 150 pound weight limit, man. I remember when football had a weight limit. Chad, did you play? Hold on, before we do this.

We do have a guest. We have a guest, and we were so bad at introducing Clay, apparently, that we need to introduce Chad. Chad Creel, welcome to the podcast. Thank you guys. Everybody's favorite insurance agent. Who are you, Chad? I was going to get there.

I was about to list out his qualifications. I want to add to list. that are about a mile long. Chad, if you had to describe yourself to somebody didn't know you, and they said, hey, man, what do you do? Go. Man, I don't know. Because you work for Willie now.

Yeah, yeah. But you also own a lot of stuff yourself. I manage a lot of property. And you were an extra on Duck Dynasty multiple times. Yeah. Yeah. I never got that check. Me neither.

And I had lines. Yeah, but you just got access to size poker. game. That's in turn paid you, so that's fine. No, no, I paid sigh. Who is Chad Grill? Who is Chad Grill? So, you see, they made me...

Except for a part of McMillan's villains. They made me wear that belt because the shirt was a little tight. They didn't realize. Oh, they got you a shmating. Oh, yeah, yeah. The outline of the belly button didn't help. So they were like, let's try this gold belt on. So Chad's claim to fame is that he was...

on McMillan's team in the Dodgeball episode of Duck Dynasty. There it is. How was that? How was filming, look, as a guy who only did it once in a while, how was filming Duck Dynasty? I'm actually,

I actually want to know your perspective. It took about two and a half days. Yeah. To play a game of Dodgeball. And I guarantee not one person saw me. To get 52 seconds of footage. We're getting your recognition you so deserve right now, Chad. Yeah,

that's like your team photos from like Dixie. man, that's tight. And that's the look my wife gives me most of the time. She's pretty upset. But to clarify for the folks at home, the wife's the one you're touching. Correct. Because the look of the other lady is not stellar as well. Everybody was mad to be playing dodgeball for two days and not get paid for it.

What's hilarious? I ain't seen Ziegler in so long back there. I don't even know what he's doing. Clay Nelson down there. He did my patio on my house. And Philip McMilley. Look at the. You know, Lindsey Lowe?

You never know the company Philip McMillan keeps. He keeps weird companies. He is. He attracts a lot of different pollinators, if you will. And that's where Chad came from. Yeah. So, Chad, now you're running Willie's properties? I have a question.

Go ahead. And it's for the people. Cy, you retired from Duck Commander. How many people did they bring in to do your old job? I have no idea. I don't care. I don't either. But I can't decide if my old job was so unimportant that they didn't replace me or that they've replaced me with 17 human beings.

So Willie makes everybody wear a bracelet as WWJD. But I just assumed what would Jesus do? He let us know is what would John David do. So make sure. There's like four of me now, Martin. It's confusing. I'm very confused as well because you seem to get it done while all sitting on the couch in my office. If you went to your office, you were watching soccer.

So, like, you're not here anymore. Oh, that's right. Don't live. What are they going to do? Doc your pay? Yeah. I did go to John David's office one time, and I literally couldn't walk to something. Well, that's Gimber.

No, no, that was all Willie's crap. Or that. Willie would get mad at me for throwing things. People, if you sent Willie something, it never got thrown away. He didn't want it to be thrown away. And so I just kept it in my office until he wanted it. And he never wanted it. So it looked like size shed.

that Christine finally threw a bunch of stuff away. Chad, though, he's like that truck stop in a small town. You know, like they got gas, but they got a laundromat. They got a nail salon. Restaurant. Yeah, restaurant, self-taning and, you know, skeet shooting, all in one building. You know, it's like, that's what, very diverse individual, very diverse. But the most interesting part of Chad.

Yeah. Is that he used to be in a seedy underground poker game with Syrizona. Sy Robertson. Then they priced him out of it. We had a lot of fun of them days too. Yes, we did. I learned a lot of lessons. Let me tell you, I learned a lot of lessons that cost me a lot of money.

It was in Sae's favor. And one thing is I can guarantee you, you never, ever, ever try to bluff Sae. No, he's going to call you down. 100%. Hold on. Everybody comes in here acts like Sai loses money and donates money. Not to me. He does.

Not to me. He doesn't. The problem is, Si is kind of like Robin Hood. Everybody tells it a lie. Chad's not. Chad is.

Look, I've been there. Everybody tells it lie. No, I never beat Sy. Problem is side beats it breaks off me and then gives my money to somebody else.

That's the problem. Well, I've been there many of times where he puts that money in his pocket too. Well, no, no, because they don't understand, okay. I'd always tell them

it's not about the money. if you ever messed up and make me mad and make it about the money you're in trouble so why was how was i making you mad all no no i'm just saying because you always beat the breaks are you like the one person i could not beat period in the story like you're in hand like i'm following i'm not the right to that is it's because i won't fold there is truth of that why won't you fold are you because everybody i play with don't fold he plays a very unorthodox style of poker it's called play till you run out of money everybody says Just that minute, and if you're watching on television, you know, it takes them forever to make a play. They sit there and they give it to your, you know, their poker stare and all this garbage.

You know, well, hey, when someone says, I've made a bet. Oh. Then the guy said, well, what could you possibly have? Could you have a king? And everybody at the table says, hey, you'll never figure out what he's got. Either call him or throw that trash in. don't sit there and waste our time so I only knows one word at the poker date

call call usually raise that's right usually behind raise no he don't raise I played poker with side oh hey two times he played me in a long time

I've actually been reading okay and watching yeah so now you ask a lot of raising oh okay reading and watching yeah okay I've learned from the pros okay now Sometimes I actually just say, he bet that with that?

Raise. Raise. You got to have it in your game. Here comes this pair of twos coming in. Hot, buddy. A couple of other things I learned. You got a race. A couple of other things I learned is don't ever have a card game at the house when it's raining in Sycum's.

Because let me tell you, he loves rutting up that yard. Oh. Hey, look. And he'll put it up. Creel Manor? Look, he'll play till 3 o'clock in the morning and then go duck hunting. No problem, too. Hey, just get up from the table.

So, see you guys later. I got to go. In fairness, that was 10 years ago. Oh, no. It still happens. Si won't even wake up from a good sleep to go duck hunting anymore. Well, no. Yeah, not for duck hunting.

I know. The only time I really go duck on is when Stone calls me and says, hey, you need show up the morning. We go burn them. Otherwise, he said, hey, sleep in. That's a good friend. I'm for that lifestyle.

Oh, no, no, yeah. That's a good friend. Yeah. Garing-in. Flip in these boys, I got to go put out speakers for these idiots, but you sleep in. Don't waste your time.

Duck hunting is not as near as fun as duck shooting. It ain't about to shooting. But anyway, no, one of the reasons... The ducks? It is, too. A little bit. A little bit.

A little bit. It all plays in together. But the reason... One of the reasons we wanted to have Chad on today. Chad, you actually invented something. Chad did. Forward this podcast.

Do you even know what you invented for this podcast? 100%. We were talking about the podcast. Do you know that Chad is a large responsibility of this podcast probably still going? Yeah. He said, you know what people need to hear? Sye give them life advice. There you go.

I never thought it. Yeah. That was all Chad's idea. have people email in with their junior high love problems and have sigh tell them to dump girls or marry them. See all those card games, I sit there and talk to sigh the whole time. And he would sit there, give me advice. Wrong advice on the cards because he was taking my money.

But good life advice. I've learned some, though. Hey, if you're making them enjoy being there, it's easier to take them money. That's right. You know, if they have it a good time, it's easy to take their money. Oh, that's terrible. So you just make them laugh while you're just rating.

No, no, no, yeah, it's a great strategy. Yeah, most people do it with dark liquor, but side does it with stores. Because look, hey, yo, there's nothing better than having a good time going, especially the people that are not normally having a good time, anything they do. Jace?

Now, why do you come over with Jay. He has a good time playing cards. I was just asking. I was just asking if that's who you meant. You just hit a, took a sledgehammer and just drove a nail down to the wood. Yeah. Bingo. Bingo.

Okay. That doesn't know how I don't have fun. Okay. That's just something I don't know if he, I guess growing up with his dad, he didn't have a childhood. That's a heavier subject. Well, no, no. There's a whole movie. He had to work hard.

There's an old movie about it. Yeah. Well, and then whenever dad became a, a bald meeting, a great dad. No, no, a human being. Yeah.

Yeah, when dad finally become a human being. Then he had him running hoopnets on the river. Oh, not. Chad's got, Chad's got to go to work. Tad's got. And will he text you? No, no, I was texting Martin.

Since we had pictures of me. Chad's got pictures. I was going to make sure. This one's a bad one on you. big dog i don't have power we have to send it to johnny d but now oh you have zero power to put anything up on a screen but now we at least have accountability and the folks at home are going to need to see this one's all i got what do we do hunter i got your cover photo here coming at you don't coming at you since we're talking about james i'm terrible

yeah coming at you i put it on a screen so one time the first time i ever met chad I had Chad over to my house. I was making tacos and my tooth fell out. Truth Saturday night. And it wasn't like an easy tooth to like hide that it was out. It was one of the front two. Look at the, let's look at the juxtap. He looked like the guy in the Harry Potter movie.

I got that. The big guy? Oh, I thought she was going to say in Home Alone. Oh, he got Home Alone. Yeah. Yeah. And so then I was like, I don't have a tooth. me and Allison were meeting all these new people at a new church.

I was like, screw it. I ain't putting my tooth in. It would just fall out. So I went to... Is that why you swat from tacos to pizza? Yeah. The problem was I wasn't eating the taco. I was just trying to get the taco sauce open.

And so I bit the little piece of plastic to pull it off. And he said, ooh, I just lost my teeth. We all thought he was joking. Yeah. And then he smiled. No wonder you love the Monroe Mockison. Yeah, my forefront teeth are gone. They're all fake.

All four of my front teeth are... How did you lose the rest? Oh, wow. Don't worry about it, Chad. He had a main sister growing up, man. Hey, hey, my front two teeth are one tooth. Really? Yeah, they're just fake.

Just one piece? Yeah, they're together. That's tight. I guess. Can you take them out? No, they're not dentures. They're glued in. Yeah, they're not dentures.

When one of them comes out, that's a big deal. I have a severe underbite. Leave me alone. But I would like to recall that picture. for the juxtaposition of a lot of different things. You got a man smiling without a tooth who's wearing a shirt that says, I just met Tom Brady and hung out with him for a while. Also, while having a Rolex on his arm.

There's just a lot of things going on there that are just... That microwave still works. I was wondering. That microwave is legit. Whatever you setting is on it, like it's like, hey, microwave this for 45 seconds? No, 30 tops. Oh, that's the way ours is now. It's like super power or something.

Yeah, that's wild. Anyway, that was me, circa 2019. Cover photo, right there. You lost a dodge ball match. The boys talk about dodgeball, and then that's the cover photo. Got it, Hunter. I titled it for you, did everything. I had a dodge ball match, and John David lost a tooth.

I'm just glad Jayce's name got brought up, because that's what reminded me to look at that text thread. Oh, wow. It was that text thread that I sent to Jace. You sent that to Jace Roberts? Yeah. That picture? Yeah.

For what? Recently? No, when you took, that night. Oh. Very rude. Wow, you don't delete anything either. I forget he was part of the Seedy Underground Poker Gang. Oh, absolutely.

Yeah, that's the problem. 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 Triedales 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 Trial's, 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 Triedales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch.

So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. we threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic.

So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat me. She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash. Stuck. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

Chad knows everybody in town. Chad may be sheriff one day. That'd be kind of tight. Sheriff Chad Krill. I can see the signs walking around. Do you vote for him, Sa? Yeah, I'd vote for it.

All right. See? Oh, you got three? I don't think he's ready to slow down to that point yet. But, you know. Slow down to sheriff. That's a busy job. He's following Willie Robertson around the country right now.

Sheriff would be a slowdown. That is not. Following Willie Robertson around is not that hard. Around the country, though. I, hey, like, yeah, I know you ain't, I know you ain't flown since 2020. Just because Chad doesn't know how to get to the airport. Now that is a true statement. That's a bad one.

Here's a question for you. Do you enjoy it? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. I was excited. I've never been anywhere with Willie and enjoyed it. That I did not have any good time.

That's right. Now, I think I think I had probably more fun with you in Shreeport. Uh-oh. I mean, I hadn't topped that, but what did y'all do in Shreport? Talk about seedy underground poker gas. That's right. Horse races. Oh, yeah.

And I caused such a stir. When I got on the jockey weight. So what? I got on the weight machine there to check my weight. They didn't like it. People blew a gasket. Sa got fired. I mean,

they blew a gasket. And I said, hey, what is y'all's problem? What? I said, y'all don't need to be about worrying about recalibating it. I said, I just weighed and I said, it's right. I weigh 130. Oh, jockeys weigh themselves.

Yeah, they got to weigh before they ride and then wait after they ride. How stupid is that? I can see them doing it before. I like to weigh. Why would you weigh him again? Right. Do you ever weigh yourself before and after you know the bathroom? This is what I told them.

Hey, y'all need to forget to jockey. Way the horse. Yeah. What? On epic bowel movements, I'll weigh pre and post. Oh, yeah, I've been there. Oh, is that what they're checking? If he's regulated?

Oh, I don't know. I don't know why they would check before. Why would you weigh him after the race? Because you're not going to weigh more before, and there's no way to really like cut weight. Look, why would you weigh nine of them? Unless you're trying to fix the race, then I guess you could put like five extra pounds of weight on.

Well, no, no. This one got me. Hey, why weigh the nine jockeys? Why not? It ain't but two or it ain't but three that finished or second and third. horses. Your rest of them don't need to be weighed.

It's a waste of time. I would imagine in any sort of gambling there's fixes that go on and they're just trying to do their best to keep the fixes. I'm just trying to figure out what, like, why would you weigh? Well, in case somebody slid, you know, like a five-pound plate on this boy to slow that horse down. To slow his neighbor's horse down.

How would he not know if they slit a five-pound paid on him? Oh, he would know. He would check his bank account and make sure the money got deposited. We're talking about tanking on purpose. Yes. Okay. Yes, no, yeah, we're talking about fixing races. That's what we're talking about.

It's gambling. They've tried it. I could get into fixing races. That sounds like a fun time. That's like your people that break into your store and try to actually, you know. Oh, yeah, fix, well, no, no. I just, you know, it shows one thing. There's a lot of ignorance out of them there.

I just said I could get into fixing races. Now, I'm joking, everybody. I'm on the up and up. So when was the last break? at the hole. They don't break in. They just shove stuff down their hands to walk. They're thinking of stuff.

Hey, you're supposed to be great about that. I've seen a lot of stuff on cameras. Yeah, I've seen a lot of stuff on the left. How about a 20 pound brisket? You stole a 20 pound brisket? No, I've seen it on a camera, though.

Oh, yeah, because y'all on grocery stores. No, no, no, I don't know any grocery stores. Nah. He doesn't, he doesn't, he doesn't know any grocery store. He knows the guy. Same last name. I've heard of a long time. There you go.

See. I knew there were some kind of pass there. Hey, so my uncle runs a grocery store. Somebody stole a 20-pound brisket. Oh, man. Where did they put it? In their pants. Same way.

Stead Lord's. Really? They put a 20-pound brisket in their britchie. See, we got to start regulating pants. You shouldn't be able to put that that much extra in there. Look, I got to be honest. I ain't got room for 20 more pounds of my britches. I'm going to say.

Like, people walking around with room for 20 pounds in their britches? I might have room in my britches. This is what? Your shirt. I mean, you would have to go up and go like a Santa Claus deal. Bring the gut back. Yeah, you look like you found brisket right there. It looked like you got the real pads on.

Yeah, you'd have to pull like Tim Allen and Santa Claus. No, grocery stealing's like at an all-time high. Well, yeah, crap's expensive. Uncle Joe just put Uncle Joe's grocery store, Super 1. They got, if once you check out, you got like three minutes to get outside or your buggy's getting locked up. because people would check out then go grab some more stuff

and put in their buggy and then leave. Really? Yeah. So they'd check out 50 bucks worth of stuff go shove some stuff in and then walk out. Well now if you try that

your buggy locks up and alarms go off and they come check you. He caught somebody with $800 worth of stuff walking out the other day and it's like a daily thing people stealing food.

We've turned into Venezuela. No offense to the the Venezuelans. They're really good at baseball. People stealing stuff. I'm not going down that tangent again. No, that's wild. I mean,

I just am trying to figure. I wonder what, I mean, surely these stores did like a cost analysis on self-checkouts on stuff that gets stolen and figured out that it was still worth it for somebody to steal something

rather than pay somebody to man a register. It's crazy. I mean, ain't that wild that like the loss of that is greater than the loss of wages. I mean, if you sit down and do the math. Self-checkout rules. Does it? Yes.

I'm better at their job than they are. Let me check out. I'm in on self-checkout. Should it come with a 15% discount? If he likes it so much, why don't you try that self-checkout at the hole? I am the checker out already. I check people out all day.

Are you all going to put in a self-checkout line? Whenever it's like that Amazon one that reads your car, sure. I can't afford that right now. Like, can I go to a honeyhole and dip my own Shiner? You could. Well, I mean, I know I could, but I'm saying.

Hunter comes in there to shop at Honeyhole. Hunter doesn't. Oh, because your Shiner tank would be empty. 100%. Well, yeah, because I'm going to take 10% extra for doing your job. I bought 50. I'm getting 55. That's why I do it for you.

But I'm just saying I'm really good at checking people out. Been running a cash register for a bit in life. Most people that do that, they usually give you. Beth. Extra. You have. 80s over here going. Timeout.

You have obviously never bought Shiner's from his daddy. Because if you buy 50, you get in 48. You ain't ever got a solid. Big Dave ain't ever given him time. I know. It is now. Back in a day. It used to be funny.

Big Dave would look. Big Dave could eyeball a net and tell you that there were 17 in there. And I'd be daggum if you didn't count them and they were 17. Oh, no. And I'm talking about like this, like 17. Like I'd have to, one, two. He's got a particular set of skills. Yeah, it's crazy, man.

He'd have made a heck of a drug dealer. Like, he'd actually made a really good pharmacist, too. Like, he'd have been counting him peel so fast that, I mean, like, it's... Man knows numbers. He's good. Yeah, he can eyeball numbers really well. Like, it's incredible. Particulars.

He's like, he's like, who knows what. Yeah. Rain Man. Mathematician. Mm-hmm. Beth was getting upset that I'm for self-checkouts, though. It's a very Canadian thing to do. Oh, oh, wait.

Beth's walking to the microphone. Oh, wow. No, but it's the self-checkout. You have to call an attendant over like every time. That's if you mess up. No, no. That's on you, bro. You get better at checking out.

I agree. 15% off would be great. 15% off. I would pay 15% more. If you do it. Well, there's a line for you idiots too. I would pay more to not have to deal with the person that doesn't know what they're doing. And let me check myself out.

I disagree because one of the things that I look forward to is talking to the person working. Montreal, I would purposely say, Montreal is my mailman I know, I know, but I would go stand in his line at the grocery store so I could have a five-minute conversation with Montrelle French.

We may have to have him in here one day. Montrelle's a good time. He is a good time. He works for the postal service now. He came in the store the other day. Ashley's our normal male laddie. She rules too. Montreel comes in

and he just gets to talk at it. But Montreel once told me, he said, I'm about to go on my 17th cruise. Yeah. And I looked at him in the eyes and go, do you like them? And he got, he was shocked. I was like 17, you got to like them, Montreal. Yeah, I love them.

Montreal, one of the people that showed up at ULM and is still there. He got like 19 different associates degrees. It's wild, man. I love Montreal. Well, no, no, there's professional students. He's one of them, but he's also now posting. There's professional students that, hey, they can't get enough of it. But he's an outlier in the checkout world.

But they are a hoot to talk to. Absolutely. Yeah, he was one of the. I'm like, I'm like, I just like to hear him talk. Yeah, I just go talk to them. Well, most of the time the people, most time people are in that line there in such a rush to get out. They never even look up and make eye contact with a person checking them out. And I'm going to take two minutes and talk to the people and just ask them how their day was.

I've done moved on from that. I get my groceries delivered. Just set them on the front porch. Now see it. Ring the doorbell and leave. When I first met John David, I just felt like he was a people person, wanting to talk to everybody. I realize real quick. No.

Don't bother me. I got a little stunger. Hey. When you grow up at the end of the road, I was the end of the road. You don't, your circle ain't real big. You keep to yourself. Yeah, you keep to yourself. But I do realize, like, I used to work in retail.

So I know the people that come in there just throw their stuff on a counter, not look at you, not do nothing. And I was like, I'm not going to be that guy. I'm at least going to ask how your days going. You doing all right? They're going to say yes for the most part. but then at least you invested a little bit of time into your fellow man. I just believe that's a good thing to do.

John David, take some notes. I'm on, I am that person on the other side and I'm nice to people all day. Once at six o'clock, I don't want to be nice to people anymore. I got to be nice all day, even when I don't want to be. That's right. And so then when I don't have to be, sometimes I'm just like, let me check off out. I love when I see John David at church.

And I try to like give him a hug and he just like looks at me. I want you hug me. Don't talk to me. I'm busy. What he didn't say is it's at the urinal. It's too much, Chad. We're at the bathroom. I'm not stopping in the bathroom to hug and talk.

Meet me in the lobby, Chad. That reminds me the first time somebody hugged Phil. No, no thing. Yeah, no thank you. No thing. I've never once looked at Phil and said, man, I need to give that guy a hug. No, no. yeah okay okay and that's you know

some of you hey you gotta watch that guy or watch that girl you know they hugged Phil yeah in case it's Phil all they're telling you is they love you okay don't get all

don't get all been on the shape of them there's a reason Phil Robertson has his recliner in the corner of the house as far away from the doors you can get to him okay I'm a big fan of Phil's waist And now it's crowded with a bunch of crap, so you don't want to get to it. Like, you're like, nah, you know. Gun stuff.

Yeah. Medication. Seven dogs. Snacks. You're like. Well, whereas he had four drawers next to him. What did it say? Gun stuff.

Gun stuff. Medical. Yeah. Sunglasses. Sunglasses was its own bills. Yeah. So I just had some stumps cut out there by Phil's house. And I said, make sure you let him know because he will shoot you thinking that you're still in his boat.

Because we use Phil's boat. Hill's boat. I said you do not want to be shot by Phil. Oh, did y'all cut him out of the bay? Oh, that's good. Yeah. That way Willie don't trash his boat leaving the boat house anyway. Yeah. Yeah. That he uses once every three years. Yeah. Willie and the boat. It's ever ever stumped there is. What did you think first time you showed up out there? I didn't expect. I didn't expect the boat. I'll be on it. I've never heard about the boat. When I saw the bright blue boat. Corey gets really excited once every six years to go skiing and buys a new boat for it. Yeah.

Well, the wild thing is the boat before that when Willie traded out an appearance for. Wow. For a boat. He would talk about redneck nirvana. Oh, no. I remember it. I'll come do that. Yeah.

Yeah. And it was with Johnny Morris, of all people. Like, I'll come. Well, hey. Both of them are doing. World's greatest tackle shop. Yeah. Both of them are doing okay.

That's why I didn't tell the name of it. I'm fine with them. Yeah. He's the inspiration. I was keeping it clean for you, but don't. I'm coming on this side of the Shreveport, though. I'm coming at you, Johnny. Yeah, you stay over here.

See, William Field kind of told me something on you. That's why I got two Clayton homes. I was going to ask you, so I was. No money. No money passed down. And I said, do what? I said, I ain't everybody. I said, even when I was in my worst shape, I couldn't give anybody to give me a nickel.

And now you're getting homes. They want to give me a house. They gave me the house, but they took the house. I was going to ask you what was the biggest thing you traded the appearance for, but it sounds like, no, no. Yeah, I got two houses, okay, for nothing. And like I've done like two appearances. All right. What about this, Chad?

If you were running some Willie stuff like you were now, so I come up to you and said, hey, I need you to build me a fence. Would you just say yes? I would probably get the plans and the cost first. No, no, no. The only thing. No, no. No, no.

The only thing, okay, Willie thought I was in. taking care of this business. Right. Okay. No, that's far from the truth. My wife took care of it, and I didn't know what she was telling the guy that built the fence. Right. Okay.

She scared the death of termites. Yeah. So guess what? She told him no wood. Hey, I've seen the fence. It's not. It's an impressive thing. Oh, look.

Hey, they're supposed to be four befores in between each one of them. Right. Right. But we didn't need any termites. No. No, no, no, no, no for before us. It's just an empty, this thing is plastic, period. If a big wind comes up, it's going down.

So we, the fence was put in for the wedding, right? Well, no, no, I just, yo, Willie said, hey, he came by the house one day. The fence, the fence was put in to keep his grandkids over there. I was thinking. Oh, no, no, no. Well, look, hey. Yo, Willie just said, hey, he come by the house one day, and there were like 20 pickups in the yard.

All my fans were there and we were having a big time. All 20 of them. Yeah. And so Willie said, hey, you need to bill your offense. And he said, hey, I'll pay for it. Oh, who. That was it. That was before I was involved.

Oh, no, yeah. Hey, when he finally. I was before I was involved. I think it was Rebecca. I think it was Rebecca. Get a nice thing. They called him in because she got the bill. Well, he was expecting a couple thousand dollars.

Right. He went with Rebecca instead of Becky. Yeah. because she finds checks Rebecca. Well, no, no, but anyway, she calls him. She's yelling at Willie, said, Willie, you need to come to this, look at this. And he said, what is it?

He said, all this, that fence to sign. You said, you would pay for her side. He said, we'll pay for it. He said, hey, she said, hey, you idiot. Get your butt in here. You need to look at it. I'm not paying this until you look at it. And then I'll pay it if you stay pay it.

So if she's wondering there, finally jogging him in there. And when he looked at it, he gets the roof. $30,000. Imagine what that fence would be today. Oh, no. We're talking about at least 50. Oh, yeah. Well, hey, then I had, he was working on mine, okay,

because that was Scott's house, okay? Now he's working on mine, okay? And I just finally, I said, wait a minute, I got a roundabout driveway. I said, I'm going to have to have two of them stupid gates, y'all. And I said, so I got Christine's a check. That's 30 grand a pop. that's 60,000 more.

And I said, I just told him, walked out to the guy, and I said, hey, y'all are done. He's, what are you talking about? Yeah, I said, hey, that's the last panel you're putting up. I said, after you get through putting that one up, hey, get your stuff and get out of here. Get out of here. You should have offered to do an appearance for him.

Yeah, and send me a bill before you did. And he said, well, you're not going to finish it? I said, no, I'm not going to finish it. Look at that. Yeah, it's wild to look back and think on that. I had his own house. We have Redneck, you called it Redneck. Johnny Morris giving you a boat to do something's up there.

But what about having your own modular home? Yeah. Named after you that they sold. The SciPad. Oh, and they sold a limited edition. The best home for relaxing, apostrophe, no, gee. Hey, my favorite part is remember, like, so they did when we were at Texas Motor Speedway getting ripped off. Oh, boy.

I said. that's fine. Don't sponsor NASCAR. Yeah, terrible spin. But I'll defend that to the grave, by the way. But they had options you could add to it. And they had like Miss Kay's dog washing sink. You could put in the sci pad.

Like a place to wash your dog. Like it was. Bobo. It was the wildest collection of redneck features. Like, I mean, I just remember. It came with like a free cookbook. Let me tell you something. I had air conditioner worked in there.

because we used the trailers our green room over at Texas Motor Spineways and we hung out. I want to know if any of our listeners bought a scipad and are still living in it, will you please email in hello at duckcallroom.com and tell me if you still love it. Yeah. It was a good spend or not. Yeah. We need like Yelp reviews on a scipad. A question.

Is that camouflage skirting? It is. Okay. Did each side pad come with a 40-pound cat? I like the picture they chose to use that one that's the one that makes side look about half crazy because his beanie's cocked he's got a beanie on over that hat

that's what makes him look half crazy yeah you're right imagine today look he wouldn't have glasses on look he got a beard there now he's got to go tea he still had some black in the beard back then too yeah look at you've aged well I would say you've aged gracefully though side that was 10 years ago

I would argue that you boy order line look better today than then. Look at it. That's wild to think about that. That is about my favorite thing. The sci pad. The sci pad. It was actually comfortable.

Well, yeah. It was a good deal. It was a little too small for me, but I just, you know. You needed about three times that size. Well, that's why you put three of them together. Call it good. Oh, my word, there's indoor pictures. Oh.

They had a little camouflage, wallpaper. Oh, look at the ducks on the wall. Look at the wood. There's woodies on the wall. Look at that. Oh, and a pieball deer. Oh, right. That's somebody's house.

That ain't, that ain't standard feature. That's somebody's rig. Oh, that was a model. That was the model they had. Well, how'd they find a pieball deer to put in there? That's kind of cool. That's pretty weird. Yeah.

Oh, got you an old garden soaker tub over there in the corner. I bet Theo Vaughn lived in one now. Maybe. Back in the day. That thing's awesome. Yeah, that is funny. Would you ever think that would be what would happen? Chad's working again.

We're going to have to fill the conversation. What are you working on now, Chad? Electrician. See? Look. Electrician. Told you. So we never even got to it.

Chad, again, I'm going to ask you now. You've been here for 35 minutes. Somebody walks up to you and says, Hey, Chad, what do you do? What's your answer? Man. Beer, bait, ammo, laundromat, like, we're, you know. What did you do?

What do you do? a living. He, I want to ask him, tell me, well, what do you need? Hey, that's right. And I know y'all are looking at Chad and say, man, he's a lot cleaner cut, a lot more respectable than y'all. Look, this man built a deer stand into his house, by the way. Three story.

He built a deer stand. I've been in it. Yeah, he built, he hunts from his house. Hey. It was just a dormer in the attic, but it does work pretty well. And then, well, John David could tell you, I guess. I did finish the attic space. See?

It was attic space. It's an air-conditioned office that he has. That's converted to a deer stand. And we have killed quite a few deer out of there. See? From indoors. So don't judge a book by us coming. They never, they never see it coming.

My kids call that house Creel Mansion. No, Creel Manor. Crel Manor. Now I will say, I will say a frustrating part of building a mansion. I'm working with Willie as he always compares me to John David. Uh-oh. And every time we go somewhere. Uh-oh.

I like it. You know, if I'm wearing blue jeans or khakis, he's like, aren't you wearing athletic shorts? Oh, wow. Why don't you have stains on your shirt? Have you ever had a bizarre, random smell just permeate from your body? Because that's always a good life, sir. It's a good life.

So have you made the mistake like on a plane and ridden in front of Willie yet? Never. Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that. You'll end up with a bottle of water down your back. Rookie move. Go sit by the table. toilet before you sit in front of Willie. Yeah, don't take the seat, especially directly in front

of him. Do not take that one. So the last time, I think it was the last time we flew, I was helping a lady try to get her luggage. No, don't do that. You're supposed to help Willie. Kick that old lady to the curb, man. Tell her to get up off the seat and the subway thing, too. That's Willie's do. Do your job. That's why he says, what would I do? I'd have told that old lady to beat it. We're in a hurry. I accidentally stuck my phone. And Willie's bag, and it went above him. Of course, I was in the back of the plane. Oh, no.

Willie had your phone? Yes. Did you have a pass phone? So I just kept beeping it from my watch. Ping. Oh, you sound terrible to travel. He was pretty frustrated. That was a, what do you call it, a warning?

Like, I've got a few warnings, I guess. You've never traveled, have you? The first time Willie went somewhere with Chad, Willie texted me and said, well, we're late and Chad just got a ticket on the way to the airport. I said, how do you end up late to the Monroe airport first off?

He said Chad decided to go through town instead of the interstate. He had to check on a couple of properties. Well, but what he said was because they were going to be late, he was going to go that way. So he went the wrong way, got a ticket, and then I sent a picture of Chad.

If you go through town, it still tells you to leave town, go to the interstate and it's still faster to get to the airport. Kat, have you ever driven in this town? I'm constantly trying to learn. Yeah. Hey,

sometimes you've got to let people touch a hot stove, man. How much was that? How much? $215. And it, it was. Speeding? Yeah,

it was. Yeah. It was. I keep, I keep thinking that I was going to get side of calling my behalf and, but. Did, and Willie didn't say nothing. Oh, no very no better. He never,

he never even, like he just. straight. Never, like, said anything that maybe the guy recognized him or anything, nothing. And you didn't, you didn't drop like I'm driving Willie Roberts into the airport or nothing like it. Chad, I'd tell you what, Chad.

Hey, buddy, hey man. I'm running a little late, run a little late. Just trying to get to the airport. And he said, that's the reason why you leave early. The cop told you that? Oh, yeah. Oh, wow, what a life. It was no getting out of it, I promise you.

Never happened to Jason's seatbelt ticket? Oh, I don't know. if there was any. Do we know? Is he going to court? Jace is going to court in October. For a seatbelt ticket? It's $25, right? Yeah, something like that.

I'll put in 20. But, Chad, he had his seatbelt on. It's $25. But, Chad, he had it on. That's coming from the cheapest person I know. He has nothing to do with that. He is not cheap, fiscally conservative. No, Chad's cheap and so are you.

This is a principal thing, and hey, nope, he ain't letting it go. Oh, man. Well, unbelievable. Hold on. Speaking of cheap. What? Chad's wife stole from the Mexican place. Ooh. I here. Along with my wife. They went to lunch together the other day.

When the Brody Malone was here and I was like, hold on, I got to go. Allison's in school pickup line and goes, hey, can you go buy Latin food? I was like, why? She goes, I just realized we just left the restaurant without paying the ticket. They put a dining dash? pulled a dine and dash on accident. Yeah. That's what I'd have said. Yeah, allegedly.

Yeah. And so I walk in there and I'm like, this is how cheap Chad is. He's just teaches his wife to ruin instead of paying for your tacos. Jack come in, you went there and they only had to pay half, didn't he? He had to stop by and paid his half. He wasn't going to pick it all. Nobody knew, but Allison at this point, I'm laughing. I go in there. I'm like, hey, the two women who apparently. I had nothing to do but sit here for two hours and have lunch today. Just run out without paying. And then the girl was, she was like, well, they were sitting there for a while.

I went and forgot to put the ticket down. I said, okay, I need to pay it. And she said, oh, thank you so much. And then, you know, Chad sends a Venmo over because he feels bad for like a quarter of what I had to tip to not be so embarrassed. I always tell Jennifer to order a water and get the cheese. deepest thing on the menu. If she didn't do that, should I be responsible? So I'm like, I'm embarrassed. I'm like, hey, those two women that stole from you, those one was my wife are bad. And so I'm like, here's a big tip. And Chad Vindmo made $3.50. It's $0.85. It's $3.85.

I got to be honest. That's a lot worse than me. I've never put restrictions on Brittany eating lunch somewhere. If you need to get a Dr. Pepper by all means. That's not true. Chad's just tried. Chad's a crazy person. Order of water and get the cheapest thing on a menu. Cheapest thing on a menu. Anyway, Chad invented hello at duckcallroom.com.

Yeah. I want to do this before we get any further, before we get in there, because I got an email to my regular email about this. A regular email. Yeah, so we have a fan, Amy B. who lives in Union, West Virginia.

Oh, we're not supposed to say last name. She sent it in saying her whole name. So, Amy, look, we're praying for you. She's been battling a rare brain cancer since she was 11 years old. Oh, wow. How old is she? So, you know, I don't think it says. I guess we'd have to do the math on the diagnosis.

But anyway, Amy, look, thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for follow along with us. Glad we can provide you with some sense of laughter and things. But we do appreciate the support. we will continue to support you, lifting you up. And our listeners are good about that too. Yeah, absolutely.

So, yeah, if you folks need something or want something to pray for, lift our girl Amy up, who's been battling this for a long time. So, yeah, there you go. Anyway, carry on. Hello at duckcallroom.com. Yeah.

So, Martin, do you know a Bryson from Rojmont, North Carolina? I don't think so. He sent me a picture of you. What I do. Ooh, I want to see it. This is not good. Yeah, since we're all doing old picture. Oh, that is me.

Kindergarten graduation, big dog. Whoa, whoa. Why does someone named Bryson have a picture of you from kindergarten? Boy, if that ain't Jackson. Gosh, the mighty look at you. So I can, I'm pretty sure where this came from is back in the gap. A&E had us do like old photo. for their website for Duck Dynasty, like cast and all that kind of stuff.

And this was one of the ones that they chose of mine. Like we had to give them like 20. This is out there on the internet somewhere. We had to give them like 20 pictures from our childhood or something. You look good. So what elementary did you graduate from there? Claibor, man. Claibor, man.

I didn't know. He was a yellow jacket. I was a yellow jacket. I was part of the Claiborne and had a cemetery in the middle of the playground. I played football for that, Claiborne. I didn't go there. I got dropped off to be on the football team because I went to the tiny school without a football team

so I was a weird kid that played football. No, that's me, big dog. Well, that is Jackson. Gosh, somebody. Yeah, that, which leads me to my next one. Because, boy, does that look like one of your twins. And we always have twin questions. Jessica, she just listened to the podcast with Jackson and Waylon.

Loved it. She doesn't know how to spell Waylon, but we'll forgive you. for that. So she wants, though, Martin, now that your boys are a bit older,

we've had them in here many times. They used to just sit here. Now they are destructos. Amen, buddy. What is the biggest surprise about being a parent?

And she said, and did you stick to all of your strict rules? Did you have strict rules going into this? Yeah, she's probably talking about like the schedule and all that kind of stuff.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're still 100% on schedule. I was a schedule. Like them kids, them kids don't know a street light exist. like they ain't ever seen the darkness outside like they they ain't got a clue like summertime is weird

like its sun's still up and like time for bed and uh you know um but yeah they still are on a very stringent i don't even call a schedule anymore because the times do vary now but a routine their routine is very coordinated like eat at this roughly the same time everything is in the same order now the times may shift 20 or 30 minutes depending on what they're at but yeah they're they but they thrive on it like they thrive on the routine so like you can tell on weird days like where maybe you know we didn't get in the bath an hour before bed like they struggle going to sleep if you go straight from bath to bed like it takes them a little bit longer like there's a there's a whole but yeah no there but the i mean most surprising thing i don't know i mean wayland like guarded in the

the bathtub last night so like you know that's a good thing yeah he stood up to stood up yeah why not i mean that's what it is right like he stood up and he's big into this deal when he's got a pee like he he stands up wherever he's at and goes t-t-tie and like points at it so he's doing that and then at the end of it he just he's like two i know and he knows he's about to be potty trained we're working on it we're working hard on it yeah yeah we're we're trying our best at at it. Yeah. So I wasn't potty train until he was 12. Oh, if he's outside. Now, he won't do it inside. If he's outside, he will actually pull his diaper down to TT. But I don't know. I mean, yeah, I don't know. It's, I don't know what would be the most surprising. I mean, the most surprising

really is how different they are. Like those are two totally different humans raised by the same people subjected to all the same things and could not be more different. And they're twins. And they're twins. They are fraternal twins. Everything about their life has been identical and they couldn't be more different. They are really different. They even they both give me different dirty looks. Oh yeah. Like yesterday walking walking into Mother's Day out like Jackson's running in sees his teacher from last year runs up to her hugs her at Wayland just glued onto Brittany like you are not leaving me here are you and Jackson's in there Jackson very much Mr. Crill he in there running for mayor man like hey how y'all doing like good to see lovely to see you love to see you love to see

let's go back to side vice if it's a vasectomy story we got time for that Chad's is fantastic. I don't think it's PG enough to tell on this, though. Yeah, next time. How's that side advice going? Chad, before we leave, though, one piece of advice for the people out there.

You came up with advice to be given, give people advice. Oh, man. Look, that side needs to give the advice. Look, that's the whole point of sigh advice. No, man. It's sigh and his crew advice. And I will say the best advice I can tell. say is always learn.

Learn from your mistakes. Learn from other people's mistakes. There you go. There you go. Romans 12, 6. We have different gifts according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your face. If it's serving, then serve.

If it's teaching, then teach. If it's encouraged, then give encouragement. If it's in giving, then give generously. If it is to lead, do it diligently. If it is show mercy, do it cheerfully. do what you're good at people that's what Chad's been doing he's good at a lot of things amen thank you Chad
