Whales are doors. That's been a hit. I didn't know. I didn't know that was possible. Wheels have turned into doors. I'm saying when we argued the other day about which ones there's more. Or, not R. Well, I heard R.

When the wheel was invented, it was an opening. It wasn't a door. Oh, boy. No, but I'm getting tons of emails of great arguments. What are they saying? Both sides. Hot wheels, caskets. Everything.

Every human gets two doors at the end of their life. Two doors. Have you ever seen a hearse with a U-Haul trailer behind it? No, I haven't. All right. You never will. You can't take it? Might as well spend it.

Or give it away. You might as either spend it or give it away. Something tells me, Si, are going to be buried in a U-Haul now just to prove that old saying wrong. Just for fun to it. That would be cool. Who's that. Tell me, that's Uncle Si.

How are you? you're going to be buried they're taking him to the funeral home in a you hall table sye you know like all our buddies that fish for a living have them wraps on their boats you know saying who they're sponsored by and all that yeah do you mind if I sell your casket oh hey well no no you can you can rap sire roberts real lemon no no no because I think my daughter's already got that cover oh man golly I was going to be title sponsor I was just going to I'm going to put my face on. She's done talking to you, in your house.

That way I can sell it on eBay. You put me on. Oh. You can sell it on eBay. I donate it to a charity of your choice. I just think it'd be funny if Sae went into the ground looking like a NASCAR driver. Well, we got 25 years before that happens. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I mean, he may bury me, to be fair. I mean, ageless wonder over there. Well, I ain't no big rush. I'll do that. And he's only 14. Was that? Only 14.

Yeah. Oh, hey. That's right. I got a birthday coming up. Fixed turn, did they? It is almost your birthday. What do you want? Nothing.

Nothing? No. He said, I don't know. What is the man that's got everything? What's he neat? I don't know. You tell me, I don't have everything. I don't need.

Everything. What do you want to be when you grow up? See, that's my whole problem. That's why I ain't nor never grow up. Because you don't know what you want to be. Well, I don't know, because all my life, from elementary school all the way to the little bit of time I was in college.

Them three days. Oh, yeah. All my mentors and teachers and everybody that has impact on your life would say, hey, look, you need to find something you're good at it, and then you give it all you got when you find it. Yeah.

Well, guess what? He didn't find nothing. I'm 70. I'm 73 years old and voila, I ain't found it. He still ain't found it. You're a storyteller. I wanted to be a doctor. No, really, I have found it, but I didn't find it, okay?

They found you. The fans found me, okay, and then they told me what I'm good at. Yeah. Okay, and that is, okay. You heard that too? It just took a moment to register. I'm a blast to be around. You are a blast.

Okay, and it's a lot of laughter involved and a good time. It is. The most impressive thing about today is look at that boy's jug of tea. It is. Did you just wake up? It's middle of the afternoon, and he ain't even got started on it yet. No, no, because here's the deal. Okay.

I had one that had about that much in it. Uh-oh. Okay, that I'd been drinking on, you know. So I'd got it down where it was like this, and I said, I'll throw that way off. So I have a full jugger tea. This one's been in there for about two days, so it's nice and cold. Folks, we may get three or four episodes.

out of this. He's got a full gas tank over. Oh, yeah. And this is slam full. Yeah. He's got it. He's out of his packets. He's got a pint of lemon. I run out of my packet. You run out your... Yeah. We got a grocery store. Johnny Deordered that boy, son. Wait. What he's chat? Oh, wait. Oh, he got one. I'm wondering what this is. I've got him in my pocket. I don't know, but it looks so good. It looks like it's been washed.

Uh-oh. Whatever it was. Okay. Whatever it was. Okay. It is a clutch of a stuff. receipts, baby. It ain't no good, whatever it was. You ain't returning that. It's been washed. I'm just happy to know your shirt has been properly laundered. Yeah.

I was wondering. No, no, because I was wondering what in the pocket? He'll pulling stuff out. Well, hey, it was, it may have been a lot. What he didn't tell y'all is this weekend, he was a birthday clown for a party, and that was a stuff. He pulls out. That birthday.

Well, hey, that's truly possible. Okay. Because I get roped into more junk. If you get attacked by clowns, go for the juggler. Go for the juggler. Wait a minute, okay. There's got to be a story behind it. If you're attacked by clowns, why do you go for the juggler?

The juggler. The juggler. That's good. That's one of his better ones. I was a good. That just went. Yeah. I was like, why would you do that?

That did a flyby on me, but I wasn't there. He ain't had enough tea yet. I would have told you to joke about the roof, but that's over your head. That's true. That's true. You're right. You're right. Hey.

Oh, boy. I was up at 6 a.m. reading emails, and half of them now are just jokes for Godwin. We started this off. We started this off with Johnny G. If you're a tagline. My clowns, go for the juggler. I like it. That's good.

I can't juggle. Yeah, you woman, no. If my woman's attacked by a clown, she's just going to lock up and die like you in a cold shower. Yeah, you, ooh. Yeah. She ain't much on them clowns. I don't know what happened to her. I don't know, but she ain't much on them clowns.

I don't. Clowns don't bother me. I just. There's all kinds of phobias. Oh, ain't that to true. Okay. Clown phobia. Yeah.

Cottonball. I do think we need to revisit something that may or may not have been missed. Galvin asked what he wanted to be when he grew up. And then Gobwin said, I wanted to be a doctor. Yeah. What kind of doctor? Well, I didn't have the patience. Wait.

He's setting him all himself up now. That was a joke this whole time. Dang, I was hoping to get into the realm of what Goblin was. And instead, I got no patience. Hey, and this look, and this started out on wheels and doors. The boy is on a row, baby. I'm glad you brought that back because I've been over here going, I didn't think God would want it to be it.

Yeah, that one kind of threw me off. I was wondering what he was going to then. And I said, nope, I know, bam. He didn't have the patient. I already had the punch line. I didn't have the patient. He ain't got to be sorry for that. I just, I was really wanting to get into a deep dive of what made Galvin

Galvin. Instead, it was just another dad, Joe. I actually made the disc because I was in the carnival slump. Yeah, a deep dive. Just like the rotation of the earth that makes my day. Huh? There it is. I'm telling you, he's hot, boy, don't mess with him.

He'll burn you today. He's hot. I got to lock in. I'm missing some days. Godwin is speaking to nothing but puns. over here today. That's what the people are listening for. I know.

If you're wanting to get anything serious out of him so far, he's about seven for seven on puns. He hadn't really, it's great. It makes his day. Just like the rotation of the earth, it makes his day. I can appreciate that. Amen.

I don't even know where we go from here. I thought this was going to lead down to what did you want to be. Well, have y'all heard all the negative junk going on? Where? Well, just in New Orleans, for example. Wait, negative. Well, to our friends in New Orleans, any listeners, if you were affected by that that damn gum giant tornado that ripped through there yesterday,

our thoughts and prayers are with them. I mean, that thing was stunned when I heard that. Did you see it? Yeah. That's unbelievable. I mean, I ain't ever seen a tornado just ripped through the city of New Orleans. And they've taken. The New Orleans's been taking it on the chin, man.

That ain't what I was talking about. Oh, I mean. I thought she was talking about. No, that ain't because that was, hey, I didn't even hear about that. Oh, yeah, yesterday afternoon tornado ripped right through the city of New Orleans, crossed the Mississippi River. The videos of it are insane. The ones I've seen the ones in Texas, the so-called 20 that hit.

Yeah. Yeah. My favorite one of the Texas one was that old boy in that red Chevrolet. Oh, no, no. That was a Texas person through and through. It went for about three tumbles. Yeah, flipped, spin, flip, flip, flip, flip back. And, hey, just drives on off.

Yeah, then he goes on down the road. He lands on his wheels. Yeah, he ends up back up right, and then he just drives on. And hey, like he just never, you know, how okay, like he woke up from a dream. Oh, what if it's gone home? That's somebody from Texas. He probably had. You knew that was in Portland when you saw it.

Hey, look, a person driving that Chevrolet truck, if you listen to this podcast, you're welcome to come sit in one day. That's all I'm telling. Right here. It's yours. It's yours. to know more about that yeah there's there's there's I got a lot of questions of what was going through your mind and how many pairs of underwear you changed and oh nice car and they get a hold of him and what you're on him road oh yeah oh he did he just he tumbled across the median tumble

tumbled tumbled lands upright and then like a boss is like that's something cool to be fair you didn't want to stay there he said no no no no here's the thing it flipped this way okay got on the roof and spun a couple times this way, flipped again, okay, spun, flipped again, and then he's driving off. Yeah, landed like a cat. There you go. And he had the presence to say, hey, and this happened? This ain't where I want to be. Look, this happened in about, oh, less than 0.5 seconds.

It was quick. Golly. Okay. Did you see it? Oh, no. Hey, let's take a break. I know what we're doing on our first. It was impressive.

Let's take a break. Let's take a break. We're going to show God with a video, doing it. This will be back. It's under five seconds. 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 Tritels beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things,

grab whatever was left in case you were late. in the day. And you never really know where that beef 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 Triedails beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

But back when I was talking about in the news, and my wife comes walking in on the Orleans. Yeah. Okay. There's an elderly lady driving down. She stopped at a light. Four teenagers jump in the car. She's got a seatbelt on.

They push her out of the car, shut the door, and drive off. Well, hey, guess what? They didn't unhooked the seatbelt. She's on the outside. Okay. Oh, my word. They drive around. Look, she's dead as a hammer, okay, and hey, the oldest is 16, the other are 13 and 14.

This world has gone slap insane. That's crazy. Yeah, that's why I don't watch the news. No, no, yeah. Everybody's going nuts. I don't even know how to recover for me. Well, no, no, I'm sad. It's worse than sad.

Okay. Did they get the four boys? Well, no. It was not. that's the bad part it was one boy and three girls well you know yeah they got the four suspects boys it was just a turn i was the kudos for the parents the parents turned them in oh the parents of them and said they was not raised like that well good we don't know what happened good on the parents yeah unbelievable but i mean it's just insanity okay it is no respect

that's why i when i'm thinking of this the first two commandments by God. Love him with everything you got and then reciprocate, turn it horizontal and love your neighbor for crying out loud. Good

grief. Boy, ain't that's true. Yeah. God. That son's up all ten. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the easy way. The greatest of these. Yeah. Yeah. So you do that too. Sorry to bring it up. Oh, no, you're fine. I didn't even realize. I hadn't

heard that. I didn't realize that that had happened. Oh, no. You know, the sad part of not even realizing that it happened is it doesn't surprise me. No? In the world in which we live in. Well, it does me. I just.

Okay, because that's foreign, everything's foreign there. Oh, I mean, yeah, I couldn't imagine doing it. Yeah. This day and age, it, nothing is, the shock and all factor has pretty much been wiped away. That's another reason I don't pay attention to the news I know it is true Yes y'all

Yeah Because I use that term news loosely Oh no You know It most of us on there ain't news It's garbage anyway Well I just look at it And then another one comes to mind

Because like you're talking about the news I'm flicking through the TV To try to find something to watch Okay The news comes on And okay Yeah okay Here we got a shoplifter on video

He's stuffing a back fact full of everything he can grab. Well, one of the other customers in the place is watching this. He tries to leave. The guy tackles him and says, no, you're not going anywhere. You're supposed to buy that and pay for it, dude. Well, hey, another guy, one of the other guys' buddies of the shoplifter tries to choke this guy out.

Well, he gets up and body slams him and got him down too. look and then whoever it was the place that being shoplifted wouldn't press charges yeah what is going on what channel are you watching

well no no it was just on the news unbelievable he didn't say that on guns mode no no oh Dylan would have a pistol whipped him took him put him back in the jail cell thank you okay yeah there you're right

you're right And then before that they say it got a, what, an alert deal about, hey, this is not the way the West really was. Old West really was. Yeah, it was. So I was there. I know. That's right. I was a Texas Ranger in my former life.

Was you? I said, I was a Texas Ranger in my former life. Texas Rangers. Hey. One right, one Ranger. I'd like the same, Cy, on the Oregon Trail. everywhere you look east of it you wouldn't have made it

you'd a camped in Kansas somewhere once I got to that big old river I'd be like back in the day when a man was a man and hey back in that day I wouldn't have qualified okay because I'm just feeling

I was a man back in I would not have qualified it was like you was camping out all the time you had you had a you were just on a hike Yeah. For life. Except then it wasn't called camping out.

It was called survival. That's right. How long did it take? No, it was called, hey, we're moving west. According to that 1883 show, about a year. We're moving west, young men. If there's accuracy. You had to leave before the snows hit.

Oh, yeah. Or you'd have to eat each other. That's right. Or you had to come to count. What you got over your head? There was just, I think I just got splashed with tea or something. Oh, that don't surprise. He hit that top on it.

It went up as I was raining. Well, you need a bath. Maybe. 2,000 miles, Oregon Trail. It doesn't say how long. I kind of wish we still had them old computers so I could play it again. You can put it on your phone. Yeah, but it's expensive.

I looked at it. Is it? Yeah. You ain't got no money. It's like $5 a month from Apple Arcade or something. You know what I would have liked a gun? I'm not paying that for a game. You know what I would like to do?

hunt them little digital squirrels. Oh, no, no, no, no. I would have loved to go back, okay, and seen like a million point five buffalo on the reins. That would have been amazing. That would have been awesome. You'd have to beat the railroad. No, no, yeah. No, no, yeah.

I'd have a mile wide. Yeah. Think about that, you know, because when Lewis and Clark done their little exploration, you know, they travel. were a long distance and they seen elk and buffalo and all this stuff. You know, they was even elk and buffalo in Louisiana. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

They were buffalo airwear. Woods Buffalo. I read that story. That would have been something to see. Oh. Yeah. Especially when they got on a run. Oh, I wasn't going to see them run.

Oh, no, I would. Unless it's the other way. Yeah. Yeah. But just, you know, just thinking about that. They guessed that there was 30 to 60 million before we showed up and started just whacking them. And then in about 30 years, they were toast. Although that's a big old animal.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. If you ever seen one up close, that's a huge, huge animal. About two thousand tons, two tons. Oh, yeah, I petted one. They guessed by 1884, there were only 325. Five of them left.

Good. Grief. Know what else that tells you? Them things wasn't very slick. No. So I get a text. I get a text about Carter, which is always fun.

Is he doing his math the old way? No, we get a text. I love his school. I love his teacher. His teacher's legit. I get a text yesterday. I can't find it.

I was going to read it. But it was, oh, no. Carter's school. And his math's not going great. I'm like, that's weird. Is he having trouble with math? Well, so that's the, that's the rumor.

Yeah, okay. And so it's like, we need to tell him he needs to focus. When he reads books in class, he wanders off in space. And I'm like, that sounds like my kid. All right. Sounds like it's like me. It sounds like he came out of me. And then, but the math was the concern because he's not, he's not doing the problems, right.

And so I've gotten his last three math tests, and they're all hundreds. How are you supposed to get on to? a kid from making 100. And they said, oh, he doesn't show his work. He's doing something right, even if it's in his head. He got the answer right? Yeah, he got the answer right. I don't care how to get it.

Thank you. No, no. Teachers won't go with that. Well, personal opinion, I've had that same crap. You're not going to like my stance with it. Yeah, okay. What's your stance? Follow instruction.

Now, if you know how to do it better, if there's a better way. I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm not, follow instruction. I'm not disagreeing with that. can still do it his way to get to the answer he desires. But he's got to show it the way they teach it. But you have, sigh, what happened in the Army if you didn't follow instructions? I know, I always know me to work.

What happens? No, no, no, if you don't follow instructions, you're going to have a tough life. Life is going to get more difficult. It's going to be, it's going to be way worse than it is. Well, I just give you this. You follow instructions, a lot easier. They said no. You go against the instructions, trouble.

That's fine. They didn't do it. He got a better way to do it and do it when they were seven. I'm glad Jesus didn't follow Jesus. You know. Well, no, no, no, no. But he did. No, no.

He did. Yeah, he did. Oh, he broke all the rules. What rules? All of them. All of whose rules? His own. Whose rules did he break?

His followers. Trust me, okay, this is the experience talking. Nah. Or he just told you, it's a lot easier to follow instructions and don't have all the headache. The real problem is. And I have all the headaches. I'm not that following instructions. The real problem.

is he doesn't have the social skills to tell the teacher, look, we're cool here. I'm going to do it my way. Because that's what I always did. Any math class, I was like, here's the deal. I ain't doing it. He's approaching the age where they're not going to make him do that anymore. But for right now, you have to show you have to follow. I don't know how to get onto a kid and say, hey, you're not doing good in math. And he hasn't missed the question.

He's doing great in math. He's doing poorly in following directions. Oh, they need to get better directions. No, that's the problem here. He's doing poorly in following. He ain't having no math problem. That's what they said. Well, no.

It's struggling in math, of course. No. He's having problems following instructions. Yeah. Okay. What if the instructions are no. Oh, no, no. Look, I've, all this is, look, my daughter is a brain.

Okay. She was correct in teachers and the teachers were wrong. I did it my way too, but I was also smart enough to know. That's Carter ain't smart enough to figure out the social. To show their way. He ain't there. I was going to do it my way. Look, I'm going back and looking at 24 years of Army.

I'm looking at 24 years of Army career. Carter can't go. You said, why didn't you follow instruction? What happens if your employees at Honeyhole don't follow the instruction? Ain't one of them done it yet. All of them. And they still got jobs because it's 2022. We can't run this now.

He needs to learn. Okay. Your son Carter needs to learn. Well, good news is there's too many medical issues for the military. Yeah. Because when he's not on his own, he can do what he wants to happen. Letting you know, the boy's smart as a whip, but social skills ain't there. There's going to come a point in time when you need him to follow instructions.

And if he says, Dad, I'm going to do it my way, you're going to look back on this conversation and say, Dang, I shouldn't have fostered that. I refuse on math. Math's my one where I'm like, if you can do it. Do it. Clint Eastwood is allergic to horses. That's why in his last row he was a mule. Two mules for sister-s-shaver.

He's here all week, y'all. I'm just trying to make Calvin. I don't know. Good luck. I don't know what to tell you. It's like a cucumber. You know what the cucumber said to the pickle? I'm sure we're about to find out.

Deal with it. What's the deal? You mean a great deal? to me. Dang. A new deal was in there. The cucumber sent to the pickle. God, we're getting better.

We're getting better. Some of them ain't so camouflaged. You know why the melons didn't get married? Oh, man, I don't. Okay, why the melons. Melons. Didn't get married? Mm-hmm.

Why, the melons. Easy to split. No. Why did the melons? Not get married. Because they can't elope. Because they can't elope. All right. Lisa from North Carolina wants me to ask you this one, Godwin.

All right. Did you know the first French fry wasn't cooked in France? Really? Yeah. Where was it cooked? In Greece. Badoo! Did you know that one?

No. I thought you were... I'd add that one to the repertoire. I like that one. And hey, do you know how NASA organizes a party? Like, Planet. He got it. I don't think he's going to get it.

And he did. And Taco Bell is still the only place you can get gas for $1.39. But do. Thanks, Lisa, from North Carolina. There you go. I've seen that in everywhere. That was the first time I saw it this morning. Yeah, I've seen the Taco Bell one all over the place.

Golly. Where do we go from here? I don't know. Dad joke, Buffaloes. That's what my mom told me when I got married to pull the sheets over, you and your wife and pass gas. And if she still with you after 20 years, you know, she's all right. If she makes it.

You stayed under the sheets with past gas for 20 years? Every night. You really do that every night? Every night? Yeah. You really do that every night. To Miss Paula? Well, not now.

Well, when I can, I do. That goes back to our last episode on Why Our Wives Don't listen to this podcast. Marriage Advice from Galvin. Rip one. Pull the sheets. I'm like it ain't no other son. See if she sticks around.

I need to get Cy Apple TV plus so he can watch Ted Lasso. I'm on it now, by the way. Ted Lasso? Yep. How good is that show? What is? Well, the language is rough.

Oh, language is a... Dear friends from the United Kingdom slash however many countries are in that country, which is where I got that. Yeah. Why the language? Yeah.

That's my only question, but... Well, wonderful. I'm not very far in, because my wife falls asleep within 15 minutes of watching TV every night. So I'm just chugging along. Wonderful show.

I want to go play soccer. Great show with a great message if you keep going through it. I don't know. Yeah, it's just. What's the name of it? Teamwork. Ted Lassow. Ted Lassow.

It is a Wichita State, Division II football coach goes to coach a Premier League soccer, not football team, which is a big deal. Yeah. It's not a true story. No, but it's very entertaining. And full of goblin jokes.

Full of goblin. There's plenty of new material in there for you. Just wait till your children. Hope you never run out of Biz Marquis. Just wait till your kids go to bed before you watch it. Children don't watch it. Only for the language. Very foul language.

Why do people cuss so much? I don't know. But there's one in there. They're really fond of. Yeah. And it doesn't need it. Doesn't need it. Why?

Let's go down that road. What? Why did entertainment feel the need to just get dirty? I don't know. Because most of the shows it's... They think it's actually funny or as cool, and it's not either one. Well, it amazes me what they censor and what they don't. Yeah.

Some stuff, they're like, yeah, can't say that. And then others like, but you're going to let that one fly? Yeah. I'm like... You're going to let all that? Yeah. Yeah, I'm just kind of like... It's a weird world we live in.

Either none of it or all of it. Like, you don't get to pick and choose what's okay. on that regard. Well, because I think Sye's proven. Romans won. Yeah. What's that one say? You have to read it.

That's not even a joke. That's not even a joke. I like people that tell you a Bible verse, but they won't tell you what it says to make you go work. Paul, the servant of Christ. But it is funny on all that. What they... Yeah, well, it's just confusing because Duck Dynasty, size has proven it, you can be funny without just being filthy.

Yeah, you ain't got to be funny. And most of the time, the filth on these new shows is totally unnecessary. Well, that takes away from what they're saying. It's a good show. It would be a great show without it. Yeah. Yeah, it'd still be solid. It doesn't really add anything to it.

The bad language does not help it. But that show is a really good show. You get past a bad language. The overall message of it is legit. Like, for real, for real. Robbins won it's long. Jason Sadecas. It actually made me look that dude up.

It's down towards the end. Down towards the end? That's kind of sad when you're. think about it? Is it the message is surrounded in that? The old has got a good point to it. Why would you mess with that with garbage language? I think you have to get some of those other people in to hear that message about having

that because if you don't, they're just going to be, ah. Well, and see, there is a point. If you go to England, you're just going to hear it. Oh, yeah, y'all talk crazy over there, all seven of you that are listening. And Australia. And Australia. you. But then people get mad at us saying, Dad Gum. Yeah. Oh yeah.

They get, yeah. And I'm like, I didn't know that dad offended people. Yeah. It's just what we say. Which is probably their argument, too. Like a better option. So, what's the deal? They might own all the gum trees. And they all died.

That gum. What an excellent use. It's a weird thing. But it is good. No. But what I was going say about Jason Sadekis, I looked it up. You know, don't, I just, any idea where the boy went to college?

Harvard. No. Yale. You've actually probably seen this place. Did he go to college? He did go to college. I've seen this. Now I'm looking it up.

He went to Fort Scott Community College in Fort Scott, Kansas. And was there. Fort Scott? But then I had to go back in cross-reference, right? Oh, he was there with Roe's. He was there at the same time of our good buddy, Adam LaRote. Man, Fort Scott Community College spitting out winners.

I don't know how he, he grew up in Virginia and ended up at Fort Scott Community College. I really want to know how he ended up there. He's cheaper. What, cheaper? That's why he went there? So there wasn't a community college in between him and Fort Scott that would have been the same price. I mean, Fort Scott's out in the middle of nowhere. Well, no.

Oh, his family ended up in Overland Park, Kansas. Oh, so that's right. considers his hometown. Oh, Overland Park? So really what he's saying. And attended Fort Scott Community College on a basketball scholarship. That's why.

That's why. That's awesome. I knew there was a story by. Wikipedia knows everything. I got lost. As soon as I saw, it said education, Fort Scott Community College, I was like.

That raises flags. I was like, wait, I've been there. Like, I've been there several times. Just, but we were chasing ducks and deer. So it was just kind of bizarre that. Mr. Sadecas, that's where he went. Great actor, by the way. That's what it was.

He was a scholarship. He's a basketball player. And he's from Kansas on the show. Yeah, he's from Wichita. He does such a good job. Look at all the things. From Wichita. All the things.

Yeah, it's just, but it's a good. Yeah. So anyway, there's our, there's our TV streaming talk, I guess. Go watch the Chosen first. Is that a copy on that hat? Uh-oh. Yep. I had to look in the camera.

and look at the TV. Yes, there's a cropie on my hat. Interested? Interested? I can get you. Interesting. Well, let's take a break. We'll be back right after this.

Let's get in that inbox. Let's see where the inbox takes is Johnny D. Hello at dot callroom.com. That's the email address if y'all want to opine. For those of y'all that are going to listen to this and then go watch Ted Lasso and get mad at me because of the language. I understand. Just watch it with an open mind for the message. But don't do it when you're kidding.

The emailers are generally nice. Yeah. There's two people that emailing and critique things that we do, and it's okay. I'll say the values of the message of that show, to me, outweigh the cussing. But it's... Once you're old enough to know better. Once you're mature enough, yeah, to deal with it. But we got some decent emails here.

A lot of family trouble lately. Uh-oh. Family trouble, family advice. Literally, I got four emails, family forgiveness. Moving away from family. Family advice. parenting advice. So I'm just going to start here.

The devil is always after the family unit, isn't he? Yep. Always after it. You get tomorrow? All right. Caden from a little place called Norman, Oklahoma. Boom or sooner. I'm the only one going to do that.

All right, fine. So his in-laws, whole family, turmoil, almost a year. The sister-in-law's been at super at odds with the parents-in-law. She's moved in-law with her boyfriend. they say eh-uh no don't do it she's refused

just did it anyway but now they're engaged and the wedding's coming up soon but now the in-laws are refusing to speak to the child their kid just breaks up with them and a bunch of people

are the same way all the siblings and there's a lot more of the story but hey short podcast he says that not me and he said I feel like some people are more focused on being right and fixing a problem that rather than fixing a problem or forgiving. How do I, as just an in-law, go to them and remind them that forgiveness is essential without causing his own firestorm? I do not envy your position, Mr. Norman, Oklahoma.

Proceed with caution. Yowsers. So his deal is he's worried that there's a family fight and it's his in-laws. Yeah. And there's probably too many details there, whatever. But he sees a problem with, all right, nobody's forgiving anybody here and everybody's just pissed off. And we need to forgive and rather than just be pissed off and mad at everybody. And maybe we can come to a mutual agreement.

But it sounds like the reason they're not going to forgive, according to him, is their own pride. Because they have to be right. And what is right? Well. What is right in this? situation. I'm saying what is right is for them to get married and rather than just shack up. They're approaching what is correct in theory. It might not be for the right reason. Yes. But.

100% but they're doing what is biblically correct. Now they may have went a crooked path to get there, didn't we all? But they was getting there. But they're getting there. Yeah. It don't matter necessarily the path as long as you get there. Now, I know there's probably a lot of stuff in here that's going to be that you know if we he's right we got a short podcast we don't need to know all the details he left a bunch of details out the good call norman but they're approaching what the good book says to do a wedding yes a wedding nuptual put a ring on her finger making a make it make it make it legit yeah and but they're saying they wanted to break up with him even though now they're engaged i don't know that rarely works yeah yeah

My question would be is what? There's a rest of the story somewhere. Well, there definitely is. But what this kid is, he's a man. He's a man, is saying is forget the rest of the story. Forgive what got us there and be thankful for where we're at is what it sounds like to me. Well, his main question is, am I even allowed to, like, raise my hand? How do I even go about it?

Because he's in an uncomfortable spot. Yeah. That can't be fun. If he's married in and all this is going on. on the married inside. Well, my question would be to all of them, okay, is, hey, what is the price that all of y'all are willing to pay on this? There you go.

I look at Jesus with the woman that was called in adultery, and Jesus bends down and starts playing in the sand with a stick. And said, okay, where are all your accusers there, darling? You know, because he told him, he said, okay. First man without sin, hey, throw the first stone. Yeah, there you go. Here's your rock. Here's the rock.

Yeah. And that's what I would say. Okay, hey, here's the rock. Here's a bucket of rock. Hey, hey, you know. Get to chunking if you feel worthy. Yeah, if you're without sin, hey, go ahead and go for it, son. Yeah, get to chunking.

Get to chunking. That's a good point, Sire. Yeah. Well, I just, you know, because most of the time I've seen families, especially when I was in the military. Okay, a guy's father died. The guy goes home, okay, and he's been gone two days, and he's back.

You know, and we said, man, hey, you ain't had time to take care of business, you know? He said, oh, well, no business take care of. He said, I'm not going to be hanging around there and watch my siblings and everybody, the kin folks and all this fight over what little bit of money my dad had. He said, I went home to bring.

very him. I ain't got time for all this other garbage that's going on. Mm-hmm. You know, but just the point of that is, okay, you know, money is the root of all evil. That's what the Bible says. You really don't know people, okay, until there's some money that comes into play that you might can get a piece of. Yeah, we don't got off the subject.

Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, I'm just saying, you know, but with him, okay, like I said, what's the price that all them are willing to pay on this. Y'all are going to just destroy the family unit over a disagreement? They're going to axe out one person from the family. Yeah. Over a disagreement of who's right and wrong, what is the price that you're going to pay that, hey, you may be right.

Yeah. Is it wrong? Well, hey, you may be right. It's wrong. Let's just say, okay, give, you know, but what cost are we going to pay for this? Yeah. Just to say, oh, I was right. You know, that's your family there.

And now they're attempting to make it right. Yeah, yeah. And they're trying to do what's right. And now you're saying in that. Yeah, and then you're saying, no, hey, now get away from him. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't understand, okay?

Because like Martin said it, you know, hey, where's the, or J.D. said it. Where's the forgiveness in this? Yeah. Okay, because, hey, trust me, I just, you're, not perfect either. Praise a good Lord that people have offered me, grace, mercy, and forgives us throughout my life. Yeah. Because I've done some stupid things.

Oh, no. We all have. We all have a bunch of it. Dumb. I'm talking about dumb. Oh, yeah. No, no. Well, hey, you're anybody's self, okay.

But I'm just saying, you know, yeah, I just, you know. But I don't know how to tell you to approach it. Yeah. Normally I would say. With caution. Like he said, with caution. Most time, I'd say open and honest communication. But this would you're going to have to try.

water on and I don't know I don't really know how you do it other than you show the love of Jesus through yourself if they go through with this marriage and and the rest of the family says I ain't going we'll go I don't want to send you into the lions den yeah go show the support of the of the marriage unit like go go show your support of that I don't know that you have to say anything I think in this case your actions are probably going to prove you more valuable than your words will during this very tricky yeah so i i wish i had more for you i'm glad i'm not you but i appreciate i appreciate this guy's stance on it because he's looking at it going man yeah we really want christmas to be like this forever yeah and he's preaching forgiveness yeah and that's i mean that's

something kind of what jesus do yeah forgiveness is it's a tricky road too though i mean like it's a hard one it's easy it's an easy word to say it's an hard act to do when somebody you especially family that question. You gave him the right advice. You know, precedable caution, my man. Okay. You know, look at the pros and cons of it, and then, hey, do what your heart tells you to do.

It's the only advice I could give you, okay, because you're in one of them situations that, yeah, okay, I don't want to send you in the line, Steve. All right, next one. Daniel lives in the Seattle area. I've been married to my wonderful wife for three years now her and I are starting to have some conversations about starting a family buying a house

and what the near future looks like. Good on you, Dan. Long story short, my wife wants nothing but to be close to her family. Something I'm not opposed to because nice here in Seattle and family's great. But he wants out of Seattle. He wants to move, baby.

And, you know, high prices, blah, blah, blah, blah. So he's had conversations about moving. It always ends up about her family, staying close to them no matter the cost. Here's this question. How do I go about talking to her in a way that doesn't belittle her side of the argument, but also brings life the idea that we must make the best choices for our family, whether that be living in Seattle or elsewhere. Have you guys ever been in a similar situation?

If so, how did you handle it? What choices did you make? Turn it over to you guys. moving away from family because I've got opinions. Oh, man. Martin, you ever had a problem with moving places? Yeah, buddy, this one hits a little close to home here. Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, it's a tricky one because my wife wants to get closer to her family, for sure, which is about seven and a half hours away. But, you know, there ain't no ducks up there. you know we got we got a deal here boy yeah so there there is a closer and i'm sure we'll get to that agreement one day you know uh of where closer and what closer looks like you know which i respect that i mean i totally i totally get her side of it too so um and i i get where your wife is coming from and there's probably man here's what i'll say about all this and i What I think to be true is if you're really wanting to start a family,

I'd probably pump the brakes on getting too far away from family help. Bingo. Once your family is started and established, then figure out how far away is comfortable for both of you. But you are going to need that help. Because when I hear you say starting a family, I'm thinking you're, y'all are thinking about having children and this, that, to other. And what I've seen from all my buddies around me, because I still don't have one.

Everything changes. Everything changes, but you need more help than you think you do. And if you get too far away from that, from her family, or closer to yours, however that's going to look, I'm not sure how that looks for y'all. Whatever that is, you need them closer than you think you do, from what I've seen. Maybe not as close as me. Now, yours are in walking distance. So I can see my parents' house from my back door and I can see my wife's parents' house from the front door. Yeah. And I'm all for that. Yeah.

So I'm going to side just 100% with your wife here and say family's super, which you did mention your family, so I don't know where your family's at and maybe that's part of the equation until you want to move your family. I don't know. I remember my in-laws moved from the neighborhood that I always said, I'm going to be back there so you don't want to get too far away. And they move like five miles. And then I moved back there.

I was like, I told you all. Yeah. You want your kids to, grandkids, to walk over. I told you where I was going to end up. I was going to end up in this neighborhood somehow some way. And so I think... And you got to remember... It's very important.

If you've got a chance to be close to family and just trust me on this one, right now you're thinking, I can't wait to have kids. It's going to be wonderful. I'm going to tuck them in every night. And it's going to be amazing and all the good things. And one day you're going to be so sick of them, you are going to want to pull all of your hair out and then scream. And all you're going to want to do is drop them off somewhere else.

and if you ain't in Seattle, bro, it don't sound like you're going to do that, which is one of the great parts of having them close is, you know, yesterday I picked my kids up from my wife's parents' house because we needed a second because things weren't working. And it's a great thing. And you've heard side talk about grandparents on here. It's one of the things you miss the most. Oh, no, no. Miss out the most on.

But hey, here's something that you may not even have to make this decision. That's true. Okay. And that would depend on what kind of career you've got. Yeah. Okay. And what's available, okay, in your career field. It may be taken out of your hands completely because of your career.

So the time may come, okay, that you've got the job, the dream job that you've wanted comes available. And to get it, you have to move. Yeah. Okay, and economy is going to play a big role, especially, like you said, you're talking about, okay, expanding the family right now. And like you're talking about, okay, because once you have kids, it becomes harder to pick up and move and go different places. Yeah. You got school, then you've got schools involved, okay, I want the best for my children's education and all this, okay? So there's a lot that comes into play on this.

I never forget, too. about starting her family. You're only there for just a little tiny blip of what's about to come. Oh, yeah. Your woman's doing the rest of it. Yeah, yeah. That's biology. So yield.

So yield to mom. So yield to mom in some of this situation is what, I mean, I'm just saying, she's the one that's about to have to do all the work. And another thing is, okay. what kind of relationship does you and your family, you know, on both sides have? Yeah. And I feel wanting to get out of the city, but, you know, the deal with that, too, is you may approach your in-laws about saying, hey, we're thinking about moving an hour outside the city. What are y'all think?

They may say, golly, we've been trying to get out of here. You never know. Yeah. I got cousins that moved from Westman Road to Colorado. Yeah. And their parents did, another brother and sister did. It was like, oh, I guess that's where they're going. All right, see you later.

And, you know. That's a long walk. I ain't going on it. I might drive. Probably fly. Because I've got kin folks that they all moved together. Yeah. Okay, and once in North Carolina.

Well, yeah, and the Robertson compound here, they all live within. No, yeah. And then the Robertson have gone to the community. okay i don't know if i got to say it out of that gate's broke okay but just there's a lot to take it take into consideration but godwin's kind of there now because your daughter's trying to start her family right and they're what they're about two hours from you hour and a half two hours so i mean there's where's your head of it now she's in shreveport yeah yeah so and i'll just say from my point of view

okay, I didn't get to know my grandfather's, okay, in which I consider that a, just an enormous loss on my part, okay? I didn't get to interact with them. Yeah. Okay, so on that part of the note, okay, being able to take your kids to their grandparents is a, yeah. I'm just curious, I as an army, Brett, which is what your kids grew up at. That's right?

Yeah. I mean, how much would it have meant to you if you weren't, in the military, you'd have been closer to family. Well, no, no, yeah, because I would have. Yeah. I would have. Okay. Because my childhood, okay, and like I've told people this a lot of times,

if I had a, you know, the world's coming to an end, and if we had a time machine that I could choose where I would go back to, oh, it's a no-brainer. Going back to the 40s. I'd go back to my childhood, okay, because mom and dad had all the worries. All I had to do is have a blast. Just live. And just live.

have fun. Stay alive. And then I've got, you know, six siblings. Yeah. You know. And then all kinds of kin folks all around us. Okay. Because we, you know, but so, so it's your outlook.

Okay. And look, I've said this before. Life is from your perspective, okay, and your perspective may be awful on some things. Just like the man was talking about, okay, family problems. And they don't know really how to. handle it. Okay. Everybody's got the different perspectives, okay?

Because that's why I like eyewitnesses. Something happens. You talk to 10 people that so-called saw it, and none of them can come up with the same story. Okay, that's being human. And life's one of them things, okay, it's about your perspective and how you deal with it. Because, hey, life's going to happen,

and then you're going to have to deal with it. and good luck and his question I'm just gonna go back to that real quick how do I go about talking to her in a way that doesn't belittle her side of the argument friend her side of the argument might be better than yours

so I hope she doesn't belittle you that's just a joke and listen yeah it's she's got points man so whatever you know I know you've got some concerns but there's really good pros and cons on both sides of this aisle oh yeah 100% there's the thing

you've both got to come to a decision that you're both comfortable with. Ow. Did you drop it on your toe? Did you say ow or how? He said owl. Oh, that may have been wow. Wow. You want to send us out?

I got you a little verse that is a lot of families. I know it's their verse that they hang up in their house and you can find it on Amazon in a frame and you can listen to a song that says it over and over again. But I'm going to do it right now because it is important for your, families to hear this. Numbers 6.24 through 26. The Lord bless you and keep you.

The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace. And the little song goes, and their children, May his favor. But hey, yeah.

Look, the Lord's going to bless you. He's going to bless your family. If you follow them, if you stay with them. Stick with them. It's a good plan. Stick with your family. That's super important. Yep.

We'll see y'all next time right here. We're out. Guard your family.
