So somewhere the algorithm found me last night, and apparently Duck Dynasty posted like a Christmas episode where Cy was the elf. And I found myself weirdly watching it.

Oh, it's good. And it was funny. It's good TV. The eye as angry elf was so good. Of course, those little kids now are like in college, which is hilarious. Yeah. Oh, that's the time. Yeah.

It's like, man, I have gotten old. I forgot I knocked the Christmas tree down in that one. Like, I just, there's so much of that stuff when you go back. I'd have no recollection of any of that stuff. No, we've been watching it. It's so funny, though. Yeah. It's so funny.

Even though my kids like swamp people better. Well, that's fine. Must got gators. Yeah, I know. Well, gaiters. You're raising a few little nerves. I get. They get real wildlife.

Shoot them, Jack, shoot them. Scared me to death. Jacob, man. Jacob's got to shoot them. You got to shoot them. Oh, man. So you're still on the life. Still on life.

And you want to know how to make this. You don't want to let me get bored. And look, I always. How are you not bored? The only media I fool with is the TV. Oh, boy. And usually, okay, I keep expecting different results. I don't know what.

Do you have, yeah, I just a skeleton's crew now. Do you have PBS? I don't know. I hadn't watched, uh, I hadn't watched, uh, I hadn't watched a public broadcasting because they ain't been showing nothing on it. That's actually part. That's how we make this podcast, the best pot. We got to get you back on the nature show.

Well, hey, what I'm just saying. And we need you narrating nature or football. But hey, because here you make the best podcast it is. Okay, in the world. In the world. And then while we're doing that, okay, I need help from the fan. Y'all can send us with topics you want us to discuss. You're really making Hunter's job hard.

Well, no, no. And this way, hey, and the gold of all of this is. The gold of it is, hey. We're going to make your life better about what we tell you. Oh, no pressure. Wow. Hey, what kind of? Well, I thought that was a good thing.

I like that idea. That's a good idea. What topics do you want to hear sigh opine about? Opine about. Well, no, no, because here's the bottom line. Kind of. Here's the bottom line and it's the truth. Life sucks.

Okay, in this world. I'm serious. Merry Christmas. Okay, so how do we make it better? Okay, and look, this is all about your perspective, okay? And a happy new year. And the relationship you form with the Almighty First deal with the human race. And I know when you get to some relationship with the human race, that sucks too.

I like how, because I just thought, you know, on this podcast, we should talk about things people want to hear. Well, no, no. This is just really, you know, because I got a question and ask that. I'm going to do it. What is your motivating factor? Okay. Yep.

When you wake up in the morning. Mm-hmm. Okay. And you jump out of bed. Are you running to go to meet the day? Are you saying, this sucks? I got to go to work again. I'm generally saying I got to.

P. Well, I... That's what it gets me to jump out of bed. I don't ever jump anywhere. You don't ever jump anywhere? I actually jump a lot. I usually just slide out of bed. I ain't jumping out of bed.

Slide out as soon as my feet touches the floor, then I have to stand up and get raised up. What would you say the average time of day, that is? 9.30? Here lately about 9.15. 9.15. 9.30. He just slides out of bed at 9.15. What time do you slide into bed?

About 9ish. Oh, my goodness. Okay, because that's what finally, when a Western I'm watching dies. I hate to break it to you, buddy. Your life doesn't suck. Oh, yeah. You spend 12 hours a day in bed. That would suck.

Your life is awesome. That's why I'm full of energy like I am. I know. I would gladly, if they said no more sleep, it's no longer required. I'd be like, yes. I got to get a little more. I mean, I need it. No, no, no, no, no.

I would love to do. Oh, no, no, you've got to have at least, you know, eight hours. I usually shoot for 10 or 12. I realize I need it. But if it was like, you could take it off the table and then just like work all night, do stuff, have parties, do whatever. And then they're just wait, just go to work and then go back on. Oh, you don't need to be going to parties. Or work.

Because that's not. Oh, no. We're going to get rid of a lot. And let's keep sleep. I'm going to a party and then the last day of your life. No, you go to a party and then the next time you know, you end up stab so stab and you're dead.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. You're really leaning into this. What party? I've had like a pizza party with my kids. I know, but hey, don't know.

You don't want to be going to no parties. Bad things happen after party. Like a dinner party. People die. No, I tried the not sleeping. I tried this thing. I read this in a book where you only sleep four hours a day,

but in 20-minute increments. That's not possible. Well, I did it for like seven days. Really? Oh, you're talking about power napping? Yes, 20-minute power naps. Oh, yeah. And it hurt?

I've done that all the time, military. The problem, yeah, no, it worked, and I had so much time at night. Oh, that's good. It's good. You got a job that sucks? Yeah, the problem is, though, is, like, you've got to take those naps at, like, noon, 4 p.m. And if you miss it, you're done. And that's what happened.

It was. I made it seven days and I missed a nap and then I was tired and then I fell asleep and I slept for like 16 hours. I slept 24 hours. Oh, no, you didn't. Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Oh, yeah. I slept 24 hours.

I actually do too. I just wanted to. But I had stayed up, you know, a lot. Like 54. What were you doing? I was studying to pass. Oh, this one you got drunk on Mountain. That's right.

Undy and seven up and two or three of other cases of drink. Sir, have you been drinking this evening? Yes. No. No, hey, I have been. I had a great cup of hot chocolates at Hunter maybe. I'm not talking about it. And then my special brew, okay, that Mr. Christine fixes for me is tea, y'all's tea.

It says y'all's sweet tea, but hey, you got to make it sweet? I don't make it sweet. I'm sweet enough it already. Yes, it is. That's what the women tell me. That's what they tell you. Okay. We said to have that.

Hey. Wait, I have a question for the podcast that I brought in today. Here's our first topic. Hey, here's our first question. Here it is. And hold on. Before you go, I'm going to translate what he asked the people to do. Send an email, hello at duckcallroom.com.

Or call. Or call. But don't put a lot of, don't put a lot of guff in the feed. Just say topics we want side to discuss and list them. And I will go through that. If you tell me your life story, I got like six kids. Or, if you have a serious problem, you can't solve. Send that in, too.

We've done that before. And I'm telling you, between the panel we got in here, we'll come up with a good answer for you. But we've just covered the topic of sleep. I don't want to, so I loves it. And now John Luke has a new topic. Okay, here's my topic. Christmas traditions, since it's Christmas. Traditions.

It's Christmas traditions. Size is sleeping. Well, hey, a good nap. is always, you know, tradition. It's worthy of note. Yeah. Especially when you do it, like, hey, 12 o'clock. 12 o'clock hits, you eat a good meal.

And the first thing you do, after a good meal, hey, you got to take him out. Before I was betroth. Betroth, he was betroth. Yeah, okay, there's two parts. It's as a kid and then now, I guess. Yeah, I was just thinking, like, I remember when I was working here,

but before I was married, there were three people that hunted on Christmas Day. You? Me, sigh, and Phil. That's it. That's it. We were the only ones that showed up Christmas. Man, we had some good hunt. And all the rest of them had kids said, oh, I won't be there.

We said, what? Yeah. What do you mean you're not going to be there? Yeah, me fell and sigh. Hey, it's Christmas. I said, what's that got to do with it? 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, around here and that's what because of our friends over at try tells beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall 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 come to them but with tritels beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way tritels comes from a family ranch out in texas there are 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. Check out try tails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat eater, folks.

Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. How many Christmases did you three just hunt together? It was like seven of them, I think. It was fun, man. Christmas morning hunting with Phil and side. I got to hunt with Santa and his elf.

I mean, it was so fun. like and we what's crazy is we generally always killed them like no no that's the crazy thing it was a bizarre thing same thing Thanksgiving yeah it was always me you and Phil on Thanksgiving too

yeah and usually we went to our favorite place my favorite place in a way is Privet hole yeah Privet Hall yeah we'd go there because like Rivet Hall we got understand so there's a line in the sky

from Canada to Louisiana. I'm talking about you could draw it. If you could draw it up right and stay there, ducks follow that line. It's a highway. Down there on Fields property, there is a big giant pine tree

when you're on dog bow. When there's a flight day, they all fly right over that big giant pine tree. Every duck in the air. If they're flight ducks. So, hey, on Christmas Day, same deal. We're on the privy the old look up.

Here's the cunt. And we always burned them. That's crazy. Yeah. We always burned them. It was always crazy. Yeah. And it was wild.

And I'm talking about Mallard duck, too. I don't get to do that no more. Oh, God. You're out. You're out. I'm one of the casualties of Christmas Day now. Now size out there by himself, I guess. You going hunting on Christmas Day this year?

So Okay I'm cheering for you Um Christmas tradition My dad was as a child Yeah When we lived in the log cabin

We had a big giant fireplace And we had done A whore We had like four Hickin of trees On the property Right around the house

So what we would do was we'd gather up the hickernuts and then sit there and bust them with a hammer and eat hickernuts and look we've done busted so many on concrete it's wore a hole and you could just set it hickory nuts on Christmas that's a good trip how old were you oh five five and six five and six wow two year tradition anybody ever miss that hickory nut with a hammer oh yeah hit hit thumb Yeah.

I like dough with your fresh fruit. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Fried fruit pies? You make them into like fried fruit. No, no, I'm going to make them. Yeah. There you go.

I'm actually in a weird stage of life where the traditions are like transitioning to the old traditions. kind of are... Well, we're really just like making traditions. Yeah, now I'm in the new tradition. The boys are three and they kind of understand Christmas now. Like last year they

So do you all want to guess what's happening right now as we're talking to you guys what's literally going on at this very moment? I actually think I'm going to get it right.

You would never guess it. Ms. Kay, are you getting your hair done right now? She said, are you getting your hair done? Not getting my hair done. Tell them what's happening. Are you getting a facelift? They're drawing blood for my body. Yeah, you're right.

I was never going to get there. Since what? They're drawing blood. They're drawing blood. So the vampires are there. Oh, yeah. A bunch of bloodsuckers. Okay, that kind of goes with my next question.

What are you wearing? What are you wearing? Loungewear. And here goes Lisa. My PJs, they've got it written on their PJs. She's in her PJs, boys. The whole fam dabbling here. God.

to a mighty listening to everybody here. I love it. I love it. Well, we heard the Delt Carole room was calling, man. Everybody just showed up and said, we got to join in on the fun. Hey, well, where's the nurse? Put her on, too. She's here.

You got anything to say, nurse lady? Before you put, I look here, before you put her on, describe what she looks like and what she's squared. Oh, here we go. This just took a bad turn. Hey, no, we ain't taking a bad turn. Hey, Al, did you know? He looks a lot like Christine with that red hair.

She does. That's a redhead. Uh-oh. Where are you at? Yeah. There we go. Now, Si's going to come to her out. Let me go get in my truck.

Si is further proof that you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning. Yep. Wow. She may have to take your blood, big boy. You can't say. Hey, if she's good looking, hey, go ahead. Oh, boy. Size, she's got some of your merch.

She says she wears some of her home health thing. So I bet that scares the bejesus out of the cruise. Oh, I better stay here. I don't want to get in trouble with Jesus. So what other of the questions you got from mine? She's semi-she hadn't passed out. Well, that's good. I'm just shaking like a stupid leaf.

Okay. Well, why's a leaf got to be stupid? That was my question. No, okay, we were just talking about Christmas traditions. Do you have one from your life that sticks out? Do you have any? What's your favorite Christmas tradition that we did? at Christmas time or you did when you were a kid.

What was that movie we watched every year? Death Wish? Well, yeah, that's more of a moderate one, Christmas vacation. We love that. Our wonderful life was James Stewart. Wonderful. Yes, that reminds me of Christmas story. Do you remember Mom and Dad used to take us up to the movie?

The movie. Every Christmas Eve, he would take us to the movie in El Rader. Usually rated our movies that kids should never see. Y'all really went and saw Death Wish, right? Death Wish was one of them. All the clinic, Dirty Harry, was another Christmas. Dirty Harry. Make my date.

Are you telling this on the air? Yeah, this is going out to America. America. These people watch Doug Dynasty. They only watch it because of you, Ms. Kay, so. Oh, yeah. Our viewership just went up tenfold having you on here. Sorry about that.

Oh, that's a good thing. Did it go off off? or something. I mean, I didn't go that far. No, you're good. You're just PG-13. You go as far as you won't do, though. Okay, we have the power of editing.

She got out of the place she was in, and now she's over here in the neighborhood, and she's got her house all fixed up for Christmas, so she's gorgeous. Okay, well, what time can I come by, Kay? Yeah. Well, you better wait until I get something cooked. Well, okay, if you're going to force me to eat, I will.

Yeah, I hadn't been cooking, much. Okay. But I plan to. Yeah, you can rally on that regard. I love a Swiss steak. I'm just saying. Oh, I know.

Remember Swiss steak? That would be good when you have fried pies for dessert. Oh, and now we're just putting in an order. I can't. What's that? Part of the same. Hey, might as well. Oh, Lord.

Because I got good news for you. I'm fixing them this weekend. I'm making some of my holiday pies, so I'll make sure you get a slab. Hey, no, make sure I get a pie. Oh, a pie. Yeah, forget the slam. Hey, by the way, Sunday's lesson was excellent. Oh, you like that.

Oh, yeah. Look at that. Hey, a rare Robertson compliment. Hold on. Oh, no, being I always tell him when he's got to go with. It makes you feel good when he doesn't tell you anything. Well, no, no. He just keeps on.

He keeps on, y'all. He's like the energizer of Bernie. I said, well, he's about doing it. That's about the best I ever heard. and he, hey, and he best himself. There you go. Well, you know what? And it was surprising because it was only about 25 minutes long.

So I adhered to the Carl Allison, if you hadn't struck all in 20 minutes, quit boring. That's right. And so I just went ahead and finished it up. Yeah, quit driven. Boy, there's a lot of truth. And that's a lot. You jump in a mom. This is her show.

Hey, you got all the time you want, Ms. Kay. This is your podcast now. I think it's an island. Robert. Tell him another Christmas. Tell them the Christmas or at the time that house caught on fire at Christmas Eve. What about that one? Yeah.

And who was running for all of her presents? Anna. Anna, could care less the house was on fire. She's like, what's my other presents? What's my other friend? I said, Anna, they'll be crispy by the time you get them. Who's house caught on fire? And what does Phil Robertson do?

He cranks up a chainsaw and starts sawing holes. in front of the fireplace. That's exactly right. And took a sledgehammer. Yeah. And to put the fire out underneath the house. Yeah. He don't know ever the right tools, does he?

No. But you know my favorite things? You know, I think I'd have started with a water hose. I know. Sledge ever. Well, we did. But look, the problem was, Martin, everything was frozen because it was super cold. Ah, there you go.

All the hoses were frozen. So we were pouring those big old five gallon things of a cooligan water. Yeah. to try to put, you know, we had that. We're trying to put it out. But look, once we got it all under control, the fire department shows up, which, you know, took a while to get out there. And so we look up, I mean, dad has just smashed everything to pieces.

He's broken up the fireplace. And he looks at mom and he says, well, we're heading to the blind. Nick Overman, okay. It's not. It's time to go duck hunting, boys. Yeah. I've done destroyed the house in the fireplace. Let's go to duckbride.

And you know, my favorite part is I've been. he went to the blind and built a fire. Oh, yeah, built a fire. It's exactly what he's done. Yeah, he's a good helper. Now, that's a tradition for Christmas, boys. Oh, yeah. Wow, what a life.

Kay, did you get any, did you get any a size dressing at Thanksgiving? I was just curious. I was surprised it was that good. What? Now, there's the most Robertson compliment I've ever heard. I love it. Hey, your son, the fun sucker?

Uh-oh, that'd be, Jay's. Okay, he said, hey, all we got here is wet bread. That was what he said. Yeah, that's what, hey, that's what Stone told me. He said, you know what Jay said about your dressing? I said, what? He said, all this is is wet bread. Why do you expect in a water thing like that?

Hey, it's my own father. I should have never kept that boy when I, when y'all had him. I know. He's got too many of my mannerisms. So he's named after you, so you shouldn't be. That's it.

Yeah, I know it's all my fault. It is your fault. Well, we're breaking down all kinds of all. That's also the first time of a Robertson ever accepting blame. Look at there. Man,

this is good. It's a Christmas miracle. What do you think? Because I was just eating nothing but dressing. And he said, too wet, not enough sage. I said,

well, that's what you said about mine last year. Well, hey, look, look, I messed up.

I cooked it for them. Okay, I didn't cook it for me. Next time I bring it, I'm going to cook it for me and it'll be right. The dressing chronicles.

I thought it was really good and so I also thought your presentation was about a 9.5 out of 10. Yeah, I did have to say the presentation was good because them ducks were browned.

And they was actually. actually tender and good because I mine down to the bone. The nurse was cleaning an old wound and I guess you got into a little scar tissue. Uh-oh. It hurts. He did more than get into it. He played in.

That poor nurse is standing right there while they're saying this. Oh, yes, she's looking around. What if I got myself into? She came over for a home health visit and wound up on an episode of Duck Hall room. Yeah. It happens to the best. Which is getting eerily similar to Doug Dynasty at this point.

We very much is, Mark. Oh, man. Miss Kay, you are phenomenal. We should have had cameras put in place down there. Okay. What do you want for Christmas? Yep. All I want my Christmas is, I don't know, good food and good company.

There you go. Surprise me. I could do one of those. Yeah, surprise me. My kids are great company. I'd love to drop them off. That's it. Last time I was with Ms. Kay, we were eating food together that was brought to you.

you by not good food people and she said look at this i don't even know what it is this is a monkey turd or something what i say you called that brownie a monkey turd oh well i'm sorry for some of my descriptions oh it was accurate it's kind of blunt she went to she went to the phil robinson school of food if you ask her what's whether something's any good or not she tells you the truth that's a good quality no line Oh, man. Oh, my goodness gracious. So what are y'all doing but try being silly?

Well, that's pretty much all we thrive in, K. So I don't, you know. It looks like it hasn't changed much since I was there last. No, but we'd love to have you back here when you fill up for it. Okay. All my fans miss you. All his fans miss you. Oh, well, I miss them too.

There it. My fans miss. All right. Next time we get some hair and makeup over. here we'll get her fixed up and bring her in for you. And then we won't bring the nurse. You should see the look on her face. Wait,

wait a minute. Hey, look, you can bring the nurse. She'll be safe here. Not with you around. Yeah, a red-headed nurse. What could go wrong? Hey, I'm like, what that commercial are the good hands, people?

Allstate, baby. Hey, yeah, it's allstate. Hey, guess what I have a nice announcement. My new bird feeder has just got birds. Well, praise be. With real birds. Yeah. Do you have the,

do you have a bird feeder with a camera, Kay? I hope you do. No, she has to look out the window. She has to look out of the window, Martin. She's old school.

Okay. She ain't got a phone for a camera to be on. Man, we got to get Kay hooked up with a bird feeder camera. You can talk to them, Kay. Talk to who? The birds.

Yeah, name them. And name them. I can talk to the birds? Yes. I'll probably just scare them to there. What a time to be alive, right? Oh, 2025.

Yep, modern times. Modern times. No more pioneer days. Oh, goodness. No more pioneer. Well, they're fixing to do your rectal check, so anything else you want to go. Oh, wow. Let's keep the line open.

I'm done. Only the Robert. She said, say that to their mother. Close your eyes. I think I'm going to close my ears instead. Yeah. Either one. All right, tell them bye, Mom.

Bye, I love y'all. We love you, Kay. Merry Christmas, Kay. Merry Christmas. I call room. All right. That was great. That was great.

You were off. I was about to say that was the best thing we've done in 500-something episodes, and instead, she said it. How was that? I love Ms. Kay so much. Oh, goodness. She is an absolute deluxe. light. Oh, she's the best. I ain't heard that much joy in her voice in a long time, though. Oh, yeah. Well, I'm glad that people got the update. She's been through some ups and downs.

And so she hadn't been on, I don't know if Unashameds told any stories of where she's, how she's been, but she's doing great now. She's moving in the neighborhood. So we wanted to give you all that update here. And that was great. Can we call her back? I wasn't done with that yet. Yeah, Al getting right. I was like, we'll make it the rest of the world. I've been where Al is. Al was probably in charge of holding the phone, which is like the loneliest place ever when you're... Oh, that was so good. Yeah.

Oh, I'm glad they did cut it off. There's your K update. She's got a nurse. She's a little rude to it. How was that? That was so fun. Oh, man. That might be my new favorite Christmas tradition right there.

Colin K from the duck call room. Yeah, we got to do that. That was great. Yep. So good. Yeah, I feel like your topics, they are all going to send in more talking to Kay, please. Yep.

So how'd we make it the best box? We can probably work that out. Get one out. Wait till I'm back on Valentine's Day. John Luke said, hey, don't leave me out of all. Hey, thanks a holiday every two days. Or Easter. It's your president's day.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, federal holidays, they roll around a lot these days. Oh, my goodness. Valentine's Day on a Thursday, we got you. What about New Year's Day? We got John Luke's. Oh, yeah, we got New Year's. Oh, John Luke's going to go back to back.

you go. I'll see you tomorrow. Oh my goodness. Well, I don't even know how to recover. I feel like we should just end it. That was, I really do. It hadn't been long enough. Yeah. It just, that we peaked. Yeah. Hunter, you're going to have to rearrange how these segments go. Yeah. But Tesco has, you know, I don't know what we're going to do to top it. So it's just like you said. Oh, that was so good. But I don't, I don't know what were we, oh, Christmas traditions. That's kind of where we were. What do you got, John? John Luke, you got a growing family.

What are y'all's... Is there anything that sticks out? Are you just looking to add new ones? No. You're just fishing for fun stuff. Yeah, I was looking for ideas. Well, you could go see Death Wish. That is a great idea.

Set a fire to your home. Chainsaw it out. Makes chainsaw. I know. Is the fire a tradition that happened every year? I have a lot of questions about that fire and how he put it out with a chainsaw. No, he just got the fire out of the house.

because their house is above the ground. So he was just getting the fire. He cut a hole in the floor and the fire went down. Yeah, the fire went under. Oh, it called on fire underneath it. Oh, then the under side of the house. And we was pouring the gallon, five gallon water bottle. And all you could get out of there was smoke.

He said, just ain't no work. Then I heard, whoa, whoa, whoa. Then he said, uh-oh, I need to get behind all that brick and mortar. next time here comes 10-pound sledgehammer whoa that's like a sling of sledgehammer too

and that way the floors opened up we can see where the fire was we'll put it out and this is in their current home yeah well yeah back on Cypress the one you saw on Duck Dynasty that is the house that that happened

yeah but that first thing the fireman said when they got there he said how did you know to do that but he'll say well hey all All I could get out of when we put water on it was smoke. He said, hey, this ain't going to work. Yeah. He said, I got to get where I can see it.

There you go. Then it was just cold in the house. Oh, no. Hey, look. It was in the team. I'm going to guess it was already cold. No, no, it was in the team. If the water lines were frozen.

No, that's not, well, you, but they had the fire, then they didn't have it. Yeah. And they added a hole in the floor. And he was wet from pouring the water around. Yeah, I was. miserable. When he said go to the blind, no, I didn't go that day.

Merry Christmas. I went to the house and changed clothes. Oh, so this all happened right before. Oh, yeah, we was fixed, you know, we just showed up, you know, and he's got a fire. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Underneath it, and he breaks out the chainsaw and the 10-pound slash hammer and totally wrecked it.

I'm talking about it. And he enjoyed doing it. Because all he said, when we got to get it out, he said, oh, he says, guys, what time is. You know, he had somebody who went, what time? And they said, hey, man, it's five o'clock. He said, we got to get the blind. So, hey, we load up gold to blind.

And like still, first time we're doing, fire. Build a fire. Build a fire. Wait, how old was it up? How old was everyone? Hey. Well, if Anna was. If Anna was there, a kid wanting Christmas presents,

I don't know. That's a great, I don't know. Like, who was all there? 30 years ago. It must have been, yeah, it must have been pre y'all, right? That's what I'm saying. So I'm sure Jace was there. Oh, no, it was everybody.

Yeah, it had to be around 30, 35 years ago. Yeah, you would think, yeah. Oh, it was a long time ago. Hmm. That's wild. Well, still, I just, you know, everybody just was amazing. Hey, all you heard, you know, this ain't no word. Bo, wow.

Whoa, bo wow. To have the clarity in that moment, though, to get a chainsaw. Yeah. Let's say, forget this floor, man. I'm saving the house. Hey, you know what? Pretty impressive. That's all feel, though.

It's cool under pressure. Hey, hey, I'm not just tears. Yeah, you never see him get stirred up about nothing. Hey, everybody else was panicking. My house would have heard. He said, hey, settle down. Settle down. He said, go get the jugs of water. I'd have been calling Willie and Corey looking for a place to stay.

Yeah. I'd have been in a bind. Yeah, I would not have had a chainsaw to even help out. I would call my dad. Hey, can I buy? your chainsaw? Well, too late. I'd have been the guy getting Brittany and the boys out, and then

I'm going for my guns. We'll figure out the rest of it later. Everything else is going to the ground. His priority was getting to the duck bond. It was just, how do I stop this thing as quickly as possible so I can ducking out? Hold on. That's what he is thinking.

And I can hear him now. Miss Kay, you're in charge. Yeah, what's a fireplace in the floor to a day of duck hunting? Yeah. Ain't worry about that. Nothing. Wow. Yeah.

Them ducks ain't going to kill themselves. That's what I'm saying. Because the fireman just said, what made you do that? How did you feel? I said, hey, I had to get to the source. So what are you talking about what made me do? I had to get to the source. That's biblical.

It's burning up underneath. There you go. There you go. All you're seeing is smoke, the fire's deeper. You got to get to the bottom of it. Look, the whole underneath of that thing was on fire. It didn't turn in. just charcoal red, the bottom of the house,

from all the way across in front of that stupid fireplace. You thought you had heated floors. For the first time ever, you're stupid. That can be as stupid. That works, yeah. That one works. Well, John Luke, how's your wife doing with the twins? How's that?

He's good. Still pregnant? Still pregnant? Yeah. Growing. Has she ceased movement yet? She's ceasing movement. Less movement every day.

Yeah, we actually. We had a little scared. We went to the hospital this weekend, but everything was fine, and the baby was fine. We got a free ultra, or not free, but we got ultrasound, which is fun. Got an updated one. Updated. And, but yeah, they basically just said stop moving around. Yeah.

Bed rest. Yeah, there ain't much of Mary. We're not official on bed rest yet, but we're getting there. There's getting there. Well, there ain't much of Mary Kate. So the fact that there's two of them in there is. I don't know. That's always.

That is impressive. That's all way blows my mouth. Yeah. So after the twins, do you think I see it or? I just got to be. I mean, yeah, five kids is, five kids is a lot. I feel like six kids is you're like moving into new territory. You got to get your own area.

Why not go for grandpa and grandma get seven. Yeah, what's seven? Yeah. I don't know. I might as well move to Utah then. Well, that's what I'm saying. We're homeschooling and we're going to have five kids. Like, we're barely beating the weirdo allegations.

So seven, when we get... I cannot stress barely enough. Oh, I know what I'm saying. Now that I've got chickens and bees out there, like, growing in the environment. Whoa, we're there. We're right there. We're right there. We're right there.

Don't get the conspiracy theory started. Hey, you might want to buy horses and cows and pigs. Hey, have something. Do you believe in modern medicine? Barely. Barely? How do you feel about it? Only when I'm sick.

Yeah. How about a little, where are we had on that? Oh, the vasectomy? Oh, yeah. I don't know. See, that's what I'm saying. I don't know. Is it worth it?

Yeah. I only got three. I feel like it is. I've got two. I'm thrilled. He's done. You're not done yet, though. That ain't changing.

That is done. Just saying I'm friends with your life. I've heard rumors. You don't get the snips nap? Well, it's the unsnap. Yeah. Yeah, that ain't happened. Snip, but now it's snap.

Now it's snap. I'm not having the world's double. You've got, you're going to have, how old is John Shepard? Six. Once he turned seven. October. So you're going to have five kids under six? Yeah, so I have six.

Do you need like my Netflix vlog? I feel like I know what your Christmas tradition is now. Yeah. With them kids bed. Uh-huh. A few more. Yeah. Oh, ho, ho.

No, they would love the fruit and the nuts. Uh-huh. Yeah. That may be all we're down to. They're going to go pick it out their orchard, though. Yeah. Yeah, at that point. We got, he said we're barely beating the weird off. A weird of allegation. So five kids. Hey, what do you have to have a special car to, like, drive them around?

Or you have to take two, that's like, that's a different lifestyle. Yeah, it really is. Yeah, and five's about the tops on children in one vehicle. You all getting a bigger one? No, well, we're trying to fit them all into the one. Get an astro bank. Get an astrovan. See, we had to get a bigger car just because our kids weren't allowed to sit by each other anymore

because they started punching each other. They fight. Yeah. If I had five kids, I would have a 15. Everybody gets their own row. Just keep to yourselves back. But my kids are psychotic. Five of them.

Yeah, there'll be six, four, two, and twins. Zero. And what are these do-ish? Twins. March. March is the due date, but... Oh, you may not be here for Valentine's Day then. Yeah, you're going to be...

You'll be homestead. You'll be churning butter and getting the groceries. That's what I'm doing. Have you all told? Do we know what they are? Yeah, they're girls. No, both girls. Both girls, yeah.

Uh-huh. I actually, I think I did know that. I wanted to say that, but I wasn't certain. You don't ever announce somebody else's business. Yeah, that's why I didn't know if that... Pro move. Yeah. Two girls.

So we'll have the Godwin twin girls and the... And the Robertson twin girls all within a month or so of each other. There's too many twins in this town. I guarantee you. Eric Brockovich, may I call her. I think that's what it is? I don't know. It's the only thing that seems.

Hold on. No, Mary Kate don't drink the water from the sink. That's not. Me and Mary Kate aren't the tightest of friends, but I know her well enough to know she ain't a sink water kind of guy. Oh, we got filters. Cap water ain't it. I just needed to make sure that the little house on the prairie bicycles were going to be back this summer.

So I'm glad they'll be here before that. They'll be back in full force. Yeah, with a bigger cart. Yeah. More bikes. More bikes. Get more bikes, which is amazing. That's what we need a horse and buggy.

That'll be the next day. See them over there in a connoissell the wagon. That's what you need is a horse and buggy. That would be it. Oh, man. I'm just imagining myself. having twins like four years ago and I'd have to that's a game doing the math y'all don't even have to homeschool y'all could start a school yeah yeah build a little house out

there by the pond and then all the grandkids go to school together I'll send my kids to the mary kate institute of higher learning yeah see these sparing kate coming with the kids yeah yeah we'll send the wagon around pick up all the neighborhood pick everybody up homeschooling yeah we can do this i'll be the science teacher uh-huh i can help i can come in for an hour a day and teach science yeah so i'll come to career day hey you kids ever heard a nom have a school trip go to the pond fish fish yeah yeah uncle willies all his all his fish uh-huh dodge the golf balls he hits at you you learn about survival that way once you got four brothers and sisters i feel like that's survival

anyway. Wow, what a life. Five kids, man. Congrats. That's awesome, John Luke. Routing for you. Yeah. I don't. Go for seven, John Luke. Go for seven. You just get past six. Well, what if it's triple? That's the scare. That's the scare now. It's just two more. That's a scare now. That should have been the sky in the first place. Yeah, but who knows when you're going to have twins? You don't know that. Amen, buddy. You sure don't. But I know with age, those odds go. So the odds go up, and once you have them, the odds go back up. And with age. So now we're more likely.

Yeah, those two little tiny scars that I have make a lot of sense. Zero to two was tough. I couldn't imagine two to four, just like going from three to five. I think zero to two is harder than I haven't had them yet, but I think that would be harder. Well, you got some built-up help. Like John Shepard is old enough to help. No, that's why, yeah. I mean, he can survive for a little while by himself.

Yeah. But he can bring you stuff too. Bring me that. As a man who knows, John Shepard, I'm going to give him more crap. I think he could survive for quite some time. No, he can. Like, we could drop him off somewhere and he'd be all right for a bit. Oh, well, that's with Mary Kate now because she can barely move.

So they've got to just, those kids are just getting all their own stuff. Like, she's not getting up off the couch and get them stuff. Amen. They want water, milk. They got to figure it out. Scoot a chair over there. Yeah. From the fridge.

I thought you were going to say go milk to cats. My favorite. I got milk the goats, chicken goat milk. I wonder if your dad's been sitting there thinking of nicknames. Yeah, he has. Well, he'll just whatever pops into his head the first time he sees him.

And that'll be hung with him for eternity. We got smocky. Smock boy. Jabba. Jabba the hut. And toad. The toad. The toad.

The toad do, do, do. The toad fits. I mean, I hate it for him. But like, every time you look at him, He's like squatting like he's a frog about to jump. I think Codian very much work to see. Well, the problem with Smock Boy is that that wasn't John Shepherd's fault. That was Mary Kate for putting them in smocks.

Yeah, and these twin girls have got smocks coming on. They're going to be mad. Oh, that's the other thing. There's a package every week, matching clothes, just coming in. That doesn't stop for at least three years, I can't confirm. Yeah. Java got the worst nickname. Yeah, Java.

What little girl is like to be called Java. And she'll be called that at 18. Uh-huh. Yeah. He'll say it in her wedding day. And if he officiates the wedding, yeah, that's a problem. Yeah. Yeah, don't let him do that.

Java, do you take? Oh, that's good stuff. Unbelievable. Well, folks, thank you all for tuning in for a Christmas. Do we have anything else? I have a little good news. Oh, do that then. I got called me this morning.

Okay. Out of the blue. There. named Matthew. He's from somewhere in, I'm going to say, north central Mississippi. Okay. And he just started talking. He said, hey, man, just want to let you know. We love the podcast. It's meant a lot to us in their current season where you've been. They've had a daughter who was born in September at one pounds, 9.4 ounces.

Yeah. Which is real small. That's in your hands. Once they start doing decimals on the ounce, that's a new sort of small. but she's going home soon but what they've done you know I've been in that situation of a long nick you stay and you I watch parks and rec and they've apparently watched the duck call room listened in heard our stories about nick you stays and so his name was matthew the daughter's name is oakley but they're going home soon and so I just wanted to give a shout out to him well merry

christmas to that yeah that's a that's a christmas gift right there that's awesome and she currently is weighing five pounds seven ounces which doesn't sound like a lot but that's like triple Yeah. I quadruple at one point nine. Like Matt says that's way bigger. Yeah. Yeah, they think it's like, wow, this gets big. This gets giant.

And we'd go up and be like, she is so small. So that was just a cool little story that just I ran into this morning and I thought that would be a cool one to share here at Christmas. Yeah, I love it. And if you are in the NICU and it's Christmas, it's tough, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel for you. Absolutely.

It doesn't feel like that now, but there is. Yep, you'll get there, man. that's cool well sigh you know christmas is a weird time of year and there's going christmas means a lot of things to a lot of people um you know it's time of joy but for some people it's time of sadness there's there's there's always those weird things i think the proper way to close out the christmas one is why don't why don't you pray for everybody out there so why don't you why don't you lift us up we'll we'll leave the verses we know all the christmas verses but why don't we just offer a word of prayer for our listeners out there all right boys y'all

Be with each and every one of us here on this earth. May we always continue to look for you and give you all the glory for all that you do.

Thank you for your creation. Thank you for your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Everything revolves around him, okay, because he created everything with you, Father, and the Holy Spirit. Thank you for forgiveness and the gift of the Holy Spirit to dwell in us, to help us do what's right. And again, Father, we thank you for all the blessings of life. Be with each every one of us on this earth. May we always look to you for everything we need because you provided it for us. And again, Father, thank you for your greatest gift of all, your son, an eternal life. And we ask you to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
