How does it work? It's supposed to be an anti-noise mic. After 209 episodes. After 209 episodes. They've hung a microphone. Indestructible? I wouldn't go to. You need to have one of them things like they got on the football field.

A sky car. And then a guy up there running it in. Yeah. The cameras. Not a referee because we'd lose. Oh, boy. You know what, all I got to say, everybody's mad at the referees, and all I got to say is welcome to the club, everybody.

Sincerely New Orleans Saints fans everywhere. Y'all saw some questionable calls on that game. Throw the flag and 15-yard penalty on you. See, that's what, well, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Depends on who paid them last. There you go down. Well, I'm two for two. Now, what's that?

The Bengals got beat. And you called it? Well, no. saying they were going to win it all. Oh, yo, you're wrong. I'm two for two. Well, I'm in the era. No.

Two for two wrong. Yeah. Patrick and the Chiefs wanted the championship more than Joe and the Bengals. That's all that happened. Were you pulling for my homie? Well, I was torn. I like both of them. But it was supposed to be Joe Burroughs night.

He didn't show up. It's all you got to do, by the way. As I has proven time and time again, if a football team shows up, they'll win the game. Well, hey, they didn't show up. He just didn't play a good game in my humble opinion. Oh, Joseph. Yeah, oh, hey, he didn't want it bad enough. He might have talked a little too much smack prior to the game.

Well, hey, there you go. But, hey, no, Patrick played a good game. He was hurt. He played a good game. He played through the pain. So my hat's off to him. Speaking of playing through the pain, we had a poker game at Sy's house. A few nights ago.

That is pain. And his wife walked in and said, Sigh, I hate those glasses you're wearing. And then she said, tell him how ridiculous he looks in those glasses. Did you tell her I've been saying it for two weeks? No, I said, Sire liked them glasses. And everybody said he looks so cold.

Nobody. Everybody likes Syes glasses, but his wife don't like him. She don't like them. I will say, we did get an email. You sold a pair of them to somebody. Let me find that. And look, not only... Oh, you look so much better now, Sam.

No, no, not only they look cool. Hey, feel that. That don't hurt your ears. Let Johnny D. put them on for a minute. Why would that hurt your... Do you have glasses that hurt? Most glasses hurt your ears. These guys here was thinking.

They've rubber-coated where it goes on your ears. When the lenses are as thick as well, what I had in there. It's just a lot of weight. And these are light. Pull down on the year. Hey. Yeah.

I'm very good. Do you sleep in them? No. Okay. I just curious. Do they really help you at night? No, no, they do. I'm telling you.

It doesn't make you a better driver, though. Well, no, no, but it knocks the glare out on headlights and stuff. You know, used to, when my eyes were bad, it was really bad. Now that I've got my eyes fixed, hey, yeah, it's a piece of cake now. Yeah, Matt emailed in. said he's not an impulse buyer, and he's actually anti-money spending. However, he is now the proud owner. He put not so proud owner of those yellow glasses that you...

Well, no, hey, not yellow. What is it? These are green. And I got a blue pair, too. Oh, my goodness. Two for one. But I like the green. They're not paying.

Well, I'm deer hunting. No, they're not. Look, hey, for when I'm moving on. When I'm deer hunting, I have like this and look, and it don't look green. They are going to want to want. I wonder why their cells like a two pair in the month of January. And it's been like, oh. Speaking of deer hunting, didn't you go deer hunting with Willie to Mississippi?

Yep, we did. Did y'all talk about this, Martin? I don't think. I think that was the picture. Was it? Yeah, yeah, they showed the picture. We showed a picture. And I killed a deer that had three drop times, two on one side and one on the other.

Then he went and cut the tag. Which was really a cool deer. Because when he failed, look. God bless a mare. Hey, he looked like he was laying now walking. Because when he fell, them drop signs, just like an anchor stuck in the ground. And he was... Were you supposed to kill that deer?

No, I was supposed to kill a 10-point. This one wasn't a shooter. No, no, no. Oh, my. Wait a minute. I haven't got this part of this one. No, no. Were you wearing those glasses?

Yes, I was wearing those. Part of the problem. No, look, I was supposed to shoot a 10-point. But, hey, look, the 10-point didn't show up. He was like Joe Burroughs. He didn't show up. Okay, so guess who showed up? You.

Mr. Drop Time. Patrick Mahomes. Hey, no. Look what happened to him. Hey, Mr. Dropine show up and then, hey, boom. Were you not supposed to shoot this dude? No, no. Because that's kind of.

No, no. He was a shooter. Was he a shooter, Martin? He was a shooter. In retrospect. They asked him to not shoot one beer. Hey, there he is. The Pol is here, boys.

I'm going to fire. I don't work here anymore. Because you don't work for me. Well, hold it. Hold on, Willie. If you fire me, I'm going to the house. There he go. He goes.

He don't. So I don't work here either, so I don't know. He's yelling. Hey. I'm running the company now. It is funny. There's three people in this room and none of y'all work for us. None of y'all are employed by duck command.

Welcome to the duck hall room. Abduced commander Oh, well What just happened? I don't know, but I'm out of breath. Si ain't moved that fast in years. It's the glasses. Are you out of breath?

And then I broke my podcast like out. That's just rude, ain't it? Rude. Rude. The fat boy was rude and crude. Security. Well, look, normally this first section would last a little longer, but since you're out of breath,

let's take a break, let you catch your breath. right back. Then can we talk about the deer he wasn't supposed to shoot? Hey, we should have asked Willie why he was in here. I'll see. Look, I got him all stirred up. 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 Triedells 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 Triedails, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the groceries. 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 tritails beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way try tales 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'll 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 tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some day. And good steak.

Have you all heard the news? What? Hold on. I've heard it several times. What's the news? I've been texted and called. What happened? I'm on death's doorstep.

Wait, what? Hey, put your oxygen back on and say it again. No, I don't need oxygen. I'm getting a little irritated with the stupid people out there that are always making up rumors about me. Because now I'm getting people that... What did you do this time? I died supposedly

Well, good day of gum, Lazarus, welcome back. Welcome back. I had somebody come up to me at church and say, John David. I was like, yes. Did Uncle So I pass away? And I was like, boy, I hope nobody.

No, nobody told me. Let me tell you something. We all know that day's coming. But when it does, you ain't going to hear nothing out of this crew for a while. Everything going to shut down dark because we're going to all be sad because the brightest spot of our deal has left, sir.

So if you come by Duck Commander and the flags at half mass, you know Si has gone. Not until then. Hey, think about the party in heaven, though. I know, and I ain't going to be there unless we're going to out together. That's a possibility. There's a slight chance. Hey, that's what I'm looking forward to.

Amen. Amen and amen. But I'll let you be head of party planning in case you make it before me. That way it'd be even better. And I'll wait for you. Yeah. I guarantee you. Wait for you with eager anticipation.

Who starts those, though? Like, who's sitting at home like? You know, it'd be cool if I wrote an article about how America's favorite. Your boy, Kenny. Me and Kenny cool now. He's sent an email. Cool. It's all good.

Y'all got your differences settled? I don't know that we're going to, like, go out to lunch. Oh, okay. Well, no, because he's from Tampa. Yeah. But, you know, he said nice things. Well, he prefaced it with he thinks I'm annoying. But he did say nice things after that.

You know, I'll take it. I'm not everybody's a cup of tea. So I heard it started on Instagram And then I got Well, Si, that's the first place it goes Yeah, right Announce things I got phone calls and text

And I had to do a video Speaking of social media We're going to circle back to that Yes I'm glad you brought that Because you know where we're doing I had to film Cy And send it to somebody

Just to prove it They were like, I need you to film them I had to do that all time There's a bunch of non-believers right here Yeah They don't believe in the Black Panther But hey, I Here's the deal.

Please stop doing that. It's painful, in it, size. Very annoying. No, no, no, because, hey, look, the people that really love me, my family and my friends and my cousins, they really get shook up when they, that news hits the deal. That's true. Okay, Sal. You know, I wouldn't know what it felt like.

I just been trying to get duck call room back people talking about it. We're trying to just clever marketing. Hey, if you don't mind, could you? close your eyes and put your hands across your chest. I do it, side do it. He gone. We're going to have a whole weekend at Bernie's thing in here. Side pass away, we're just going to prop him up in the corner.

Hey, pop me up in the shoe box, baby. He said weekend at Bernie. He stopped loving her today. He's set on. But speaking of social media, there are some, like, there's some very rude people out there to everybody. There's some very funny people. And there's some hilarious people that happen to be on

besides Facebook. Sometimes they go trolling. Trolling, trolling, rolling. So Phil. No, that's rolling and rolling. Oh, okay, gotcha. Keep those doggies moving. I think the whole world knows.

Size, you don't have Facebook, do you? No, because Phillips. Yeah, I got Facebook, Instagram, and all that stuff, and I have no idea what it is. There it is. So, so, let me make my disclaimer. Because Philip's the only guy that uses the disco dancing emoji on every post. That's right.

I mean, it's every one of them. And every time he texts you. Look. Hey, hey, but you gotta admit, the boy's got some pretty good movies. He's single-handedly keeping that emoji in Apple's playbook. They're like, man, this thing gets used a lot. I don't know why. Every Sunday we get a text.

Hey, two o'clock on Monday we're going to film. I'll be there. Yeah. Emoji. Disco man and two American flags. It's the weirdest thing ever. John Travolta at his breath, gravy. But you posted a picture of Sinus Deer.

Well, Jordan posted for Duck Commander's page. Jordan. I'm sorry about the other. I heard of them a little, what is the word of me? She wasn't happy with you. Yeah. Some person was not happy with me. Not at all.

And unfortunately for her, her name was Felicia. That's not. And I think I made a little comment. You did? You absolutely did. And it was, bye, Felicia. Now, do you have any idea what that should reference to? Yes, I do.

But see, here's what's funny. I hate this. Felicia literally walked right. Felicia, you should never tell anyone by because their response it's just a softball. I like the name, Felicia. Oh, I'm not saying I don't like the name.

You love the name. Your whole life people are going to say, bye, Felicia. Especially if you come in hot on somebody else's post and then volunteer by. Yeah, I hate this. Bye. What is she?

do it. She put that on a tee. She wanted 466 people to talk with her. And then I knocked it out the park. Yeah, Philip did. Yeah, you did. Hey, hey, yeah, I did. Somebody sent me that in an email and said, whoever's running his Facebook sounds just like him. Well, hey, no kidding. No kidding. Now, I will call him and tell him some stuff, and then I'll reply for him. Anyway, yeah. Back to this deer. Because that is the deer. That's a huge deer. And you weren't supposed to kill it? Because that's a big thing.

I got threatened to be fired of a shooting long deer. This is the first I've heard of I was not supposed to shoot that deer. According to Willie Robertson, who was just in here and ran sigh out of here a while ago. Maybe he's taking a break. Well, hey, then I got, you know, it's just like when we used to get in trouble being my brother when we went to New York. Uh-oh. And then we'd come back and I'd have to be, they had to have to go see the boss. He's mad because you.

got in trouble again. And I would tell him what I'm fixed to tell the whole world. New York City? Yeah, New York City. Me and Phil always got in trouble when we went to New York City. Well, Phil told his home address to Jimmy Kimmel. Well, here's the thing. It's all Willie's fault. Because guess who was sending us to New York City? Fat boy.

So when I would say I had to go see him, I'd go and say, what do you want? He said, you're worse than my dad. And I said, well, hey, it's your fault. What's sinning us to New York City, idiot? He's not wrong. That's a fair... The logic is very useful in that scenario. Bye Felicia.

This time for final. Martin, that sounds like a duck commander shirt. What's that? By Felicia. By Fulia, boys. I'm pretty sure that's been trademark. It probably has. Somebody owns...

Just misspell it like Sigh Wood. Well, now that... What's... Which part that you're going to misspe? Felicia. P-H-E. L-I-S-H-A. Silesia.

Felicia. Philecia. Filesia. Fileiman. Do you ever look at your wife and say, by Alicia? Yes. Are you getting trouble when you do that?

No. No. Yes. No. Oh, shoot. Unbelievable. This is just like a normal day, by the, We haven't really gone anywhere on this podcast.

We rarely do. But this one's... We're like a one-legged duck. Well, speaking... When we just go in circles. Well, hey, speaking about that, since I don't get out much, what's been going on in the world, the real world? You keep asking that, like something changes everything. Well, I'm just, I'm wondering.

What bad news do you want? Yeah, you watch more TV than any of us. It's all bad news? The interest is up, and the stock market's down. Oh, and bucktails just went up two dollars. Hey, you'll get mugged if you go downtown. Now you got it. There you go.

That's what Hank Williams Jr. said. Oh, Hank. Well, to have him on here. Hank, he's welcome to show up whenever he can. That'd be interesting. It would be. Well, he got in trouble, though. That was Hank?

Yeah. That don't shock me. They had to move on from him for Monday night football for a minute. Oh, did they? I kept playing. I don't know. I don't watch it. It's me.

I've learned the best way to watch football, though, is without sound. Yeah. I'd rather listen to my kids' fight than listen to those announcers. It's way more fun if you watch without caring or paying attention to what the refs do. Yeah. Well, the refs stink, and I've been saying it for years. So welcome. Why did we just go to, why did you ask about what's going on in the world and then just the vibe just to...

Well, hey, I would give, well, y'all says it's all bad, so I don't want to hear about it. Yeah. Well, you always ask, but I mean, I know. I'm really not watching what's the news at night. I'm trying to think of something I heard good. It's too depressing. Duck season's over.

Oh, that's a bad thing. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Not at this time, me. No, yeah, it is. The wives are glad it's over. Why? Well, no, no, because everything else is over, too.

Your day season is fixed to be over? It's gone. Legally. So I'm mad about duck season closing. He ain't been but twice. I love with him. And look, I enjoyed both times. When's the last time in your life,

You hunted two days in a season. When you were three? This year, yeah. I mean, that's what's crazy about the whole thing. So I went duck hunting twice. And I didn't miss it. Yeah. Okay.

See, folks, you can be cured of addiction. Well, no, no, no, no. I've actually turned into a dear manager. Yeah, just shoot whatever they tell you not. No, no. And then say, when you get my age, when you get my age, don't be giving me, don't be pissed on a little limitations. on me. And if somebody says something, just hand them your

burst of it and say, I don't care. That's it. Or it's a checkbook. Who knows what I have been there. Oh, that's depleted. You heard him say they play poker at his house other night. That means he can't leave. That's the only problem with hosting a poker game is you can't leave. That's that shoebox and sposit

just needs to replenish. Oh, I can't leave. I get up, go watch television or whatever. Y'all have fun in there. That's right. Y'all have fun. Hey, turn the lights out when you leave. I might go to bed on you. Make sure a sweet peas up. Oh, no. He likes to play Parker, too, and he wants to lay right on the cards.

Sweet thing? Yeah. And not move from the center of the table. You know how annoying that is? We did him out, and here he comes. He jumped up, jumped on there, and he lays down. You would hate it. He lays down on somebody's hand, and he's just looking at him.

Got the cat in the bag. And the guy's going, yeah, tell it. I said, don't, I said, don't mess with me about. I said, he's comfortable. Does he only sit on aces? Well, I don't know what the hand was. You're going to have to start paying attention to what hands he sits on. Maybe he can cheat for you.

Besides the cat whisperer. What's he got? Oh, no, hey, I watched the Virginia one night, and look, Trampus was playing at poker. Who? And he had showed the dog his hand, and if the dog wagged his tail, Trampus fixed to win. And finally, a guy pulled a gun on his.

him something. I'll fix you to shoot that dog. And he said, why are you going to do that? And he said, he looked at your hand and started wagging his tail. That means you're going to win. He said, don't shoot the dog. Because I might have to key. So then he had to get up and leave. At the end of the poker game, boy. Is this on ESPN 2? No, this is on grit. Oh, grit. It's the new Western Channel. Oh. That my wife has tuned me in. I kept waiting for the punchline because I figured it was just something he stole from Jerry Clower. No, he's just talking about a westernist. Hey, that's it. On the new channel.

There you go. Well, let's take another break. We'll figure out some channel to go down here. That's it. Hey, that is, boy. Anyways. So Johnny D. What happened?

Where are you going? I'm good. I was just going to ask, Cy, what he did this weekend besides Play-Poc. Nothing. Slep. Kept. See? Told you.

For pinholes. And all he could see was a green tent coming through. That's right. Green tent, boys. Well, that ended. Yep. Well, bye. Now, what we're doing.

I had a meeting today. February's coming up. You know what that means. It's the month of love. Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, boys. You're going to get Christine something good? No.

Love it being there. No, ain't it. She's used to it, ain't she? Yeah. You don't want to mess it up. He said, no. All right. Look, if she wants something, she can go get it.

Okay. She's going to get it anyway? If she's going to get it anyway. Okay. Yeah. Philip? She said she brought it. What did you get Miss Alicia since you brought it up?

Flowers and chocolate. Flowers by side. Flowers are always a good thing. Flowers by side, Mr. Flower General over there. I'm going to get them from Flower General. You probably get them for free. Okay. He'll go get her some free flowers.

Yeah. Yeah, hey. They got to pay for that chocolate, though. They probably sell that too. Hey, flowers are biblical. Okay. Okay. I'm serious.

You need to do it because I just, well, I got Ms. Dallas hired me as the sponsor of flower. dot general. Whatever it is. Just type that in. Yeah, flower general.com. Flower general. But anyway, when she hired me, I asked her a question.

I said, what I'd like to do was every flower that goes out of your shop, I'd like a scripture to go with it. So she'd Google. And I was mainly, I said, I'm big right now on the gift of the, fruits of the Holy Spirit. Okay, and there's about 14 of them. So y'all offer a fruit basket? Well, no, no, it is the way.

But hey, what got me, Alice Google that, there's a lot of history with the Bible and flowers. Okay. For purity, for love, for all this good stuff. Joy, peace, patience, goodness. Yeah, all the good things that you can get with Jesus. And look, without him, All you're facing is darkness and evil.

I had to say that in that. Because, hey, with them you get light. So get you almost some flowers. But I'm just saying, hey, order you some flowers. They'll look and Google it. Google it. And find out a Bible. Get the history about flowers.

It's pretty amazing. In the beginning, God created it. That's an hour. There is. Hey, he creates the flowers. And he saw that it was good. Then he said, hey, don't worry about it. Don't you see the lilies of the field?

Look at how they're closed. Do you think your Heavenly Father? Doesn't care for you more? That's right. Doesn't deal about you more than they do other flowers? That wasn't an NIV, but it was close. Does that mean you should get them sparrows too? Well, no, no.

There you go, boy. That's a good gift. A sparrow? No, just a bird. Oh. Somebody needs to get their wife a bird. I don't recommend it. Have you done it?

A parrot. is my mom who is still taking care of my dad's parrot. Uh-oh. Has you got a patch over one eye? There's a parrot? No, he's not a pirate. He's a parrot. Hey, I had to think of pirates when I hear a parrot.

That's it? That's all we got. Oh, no. There's no species. They're going to have to go, you know, and get some prettier birds. Maybe I can go that place over the honey hole that sells birds. They got birds. I used to get dog food.

I like that one there. What was it? Oh, zebra fence? I didn't check that one. Can you not just mail-order pets? Is that not a thing? I bought a tree. Zebra finch?

A zebra-french parrot. They got those. You want a zebra? No. Finch? They got a giraffe. I got a funny story for this once we get off. Okay, go ahead, Martin.

No, I'm saying once we quit recording. No, this is not one I feel like discussing for the general public to here. That's a zebra finch. It's $5 more than the blue or the green pants. I thought a feintz was a different. Well, you can't get just one. They got to have a buddy. Uh-oh.

That's not true. You get a blue and a green. Then that's when you get yellow. The zebra fines is 4999. $150 canaries, we can breed one. Yeah, hey, we start our own bird farming, son. It's a little side business. Do you think anyone listening has like one of those giant pirate parrots?

Absolutely. Somebody's got a McCall that's listening to this. A call. Will you please email me a picture? of your parrot? That's right. They bring him in here. Put him on Cy's shoulder.

But Sy's always wanted to be Jack Hanna. Whoa. That's your old because that was $679. That would be Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow. He's way closer to Jack Sparrow than Jack Hanna. That's for sure. I'm going to get Cy patched to wear one of his eyes.

Thank God. Then we only got to look at half the green. That's it, boy. Anyway, let's take our last break. We'll be right back. What kind of emotional support animal would you like, side? No, I'm thinking about it.

You gotta get to the emails. I gotta come up with something that's better than that. The bird. A tiny giraffe? Yeah, he'd have a giraffe. No, hey. You can buy the sharp objects all on this table. Hey, that just came me.

I reckon they got miniature giraffes? No. Yes, they do. They're called horses. So you can get a miniature giraffe as a pet. Their necks are miniature as well. Anyway, Martin. Uh-oh, spam risk.

Oh, I was wondering who that was. I didn't know. All right. Email section. Email. And mail. So look, I was just told something, though, and I've seen other podcasts do that. If you would like, you can send in a video of yourself.

Hi. Video. My name's Felicia from Tampa. And I have a question. Make it snappy. Get to the point. And you may hear your own voice or just a voice memo or a video. And we'll play it.

If it works. If you send me anything weird, this project ends. You're going to get, bye, Bia. If you're sitting in weird, it's going to be bye, Felicia. I do get a little nervous clicking on videos

that people send an email. Yeah, we're going to have to let Hunter look through them. Yeah, yeah, one minute or less. No, less. In case y'all wondering, Philip really loves feet. If you're going to do this, pretend it's a tweet in the old days when you had 140 characters or less.

Yeah. Hi, my name's Felicia. I'm from Tampa. I went to Bayside High School. You all have to give us your life history. Why would you kill that deer? Yeah. Hi.

Yeah. That's it. Hi, my name's Felicia. And if that's the- What's your favorite snack? And if it's not a good question, we will simply say, bye, Felicia. We do that in the emails all the time. It's not a big deal.

I like the title of our- By the way. What is it? Girlfriend concerns. Uh-oh, yeah. Well, I'm saving that one for a moment. But we are at 14,000 even over that now. So, yeah, if we miss some, sorry, guys.

We're only. So for those of you, like, hey, do y'all really read these? I have. We read them. I do not respond to most of them. Yeah. Just being honest. And it just so happens.

We are what you see here. So it's four guys. Really, I have access to the emails, but not that Johnny D's back. Like, I had it for that two weeks. He was gone. Good vacation. And I logged out and I, man, I didn't save the password. I think, Beth, do you read them too?

Everyone? Nope. All right. I'm the only one reading them. Yeah. They're just trusting me, folks. One guy who works at least 40 hours a week, most weeks. So if we don't get to them, we don't get to them.

No reason to get upset. That's right. Don't get all been upset. Nobody's ever been upset. They send, those are the ones that send me the Instagram messages say, I can't believe he hadn't read my email. Oh, that's funny. I do read it.

It just probably wasn't interesting. All right, anyway. Oh, wow. Boom. Pow. Wait. And you wonder why people call you a sheathed. Oh, you can't say that.

Spell it out if you're wondering what Kenny called me. Anyway, all right, I might have just said your name. This is Felicia's boyfriend from Tampa. Oh, Felicia's boyfriend from Tampa. He said, please keep him, and I forgot about that part. Because his girlfriend listens sometimes, so he wants to be anonymous. So, Mr. Anonymous, he loves writing, so this will wind up being long. You're right.

So I'm going to shorten it for all of us. They've known each other for the past four years, him and his girlfriend. They've been together for a while. been dating for a year and a half first relationships grew up together in church together see each other all the time college isn't for me so i'm joining the workforce that's awesome you recognize that going to work proud of you buddy um he's got a bunch of little businesses he does however his girlfriend is going to college and it's far off she keeps saying if they both wanted enough it'll work um he's kind of like he doesn't want to take away from her and be like,

you can't go to college. He doesn't want to take away from her college experience, if you will. But he thought maybe she would go to college closer to home. But he doesn't know what to do. What do we think? He's talked to mentors. Bye, Felicia. No, look.

Literally says, if y'all discuss me breaking up with her, I wanted to let you know that we've been through the entirety of our high school together. through thick and thin and it's close as we could be. Then you'll be okay. He said bye, police. It don't matter. I mean, you're going to, then go to school with her. If she's got her heart set on it, don't keep her from it.

Let her go. Well, she's going. Go. I'm reading. She's going. Then you follow. Right. Or you stay at home and you deal with the consequences, whatever those may be.

Or, this ain't nothing to get all. If your deal is, I'll trick her into. I'll tell you. No, because if you do, then she's going to regret and have spike for you the rest of your life. You don't want that either. Nope. So let her go. She got to go. Now, there is no rules. So you have to stay. You can go too? Because I'm betting, even if you like, college eight for me. It's great. It's not for everybody. They got something over there you can do. They're hiring somewhere around there. Yeah. So ain't that hard of a choice. If it meant that much to me, I would go with and I'd find me a job somewhere close by. I mean, It's just what is important because I wouldn't let mine out of my sight if I wanted to be with her forever.

I'm going to stay with her and fight for her. But you ain't going to control her either. If she's got to go to college, she's got to go. Yeah. So let her go. That's good advice. I agree with what y'all says. Let her go.

But there is one option, maybe if it's available. All right, what is it? You all too need to discuss this. What is us two? No, no. Him and her. Oh, those two. They didn't need to discuss this, okay?

Is she dead set on going to that college? Yes. No, that's in the email. That's in an email? She wants to go to that. Well, she's going there. Well, then it's not an option. Never matter.

But you know what threw me outside was the, experiencing the college, the full college experience or whatever for her. And that's fine, but it sounds like that they may not be together on this deal, you know? Sounds like she's going that way and he's staying this way. And like Martin said, you're just going to have to figure it out. In other words, you're saying what Martin said begin with. Bye, Felicia. You can't say that.

Okay, because, no, because here's the deal. She wants the college experience. Yes, she may find somebody. If she's searching for the colleges. Yeah. Your days is numbered anyway, Jack. Yeah. Yeah.

I go ahead and tell you that right now. I have to agree with Martin. I don't like a college experience. And I know. I don't like that. And I know your name's not Jack. That's not a great term. But no, no, because that's the thing.

If she's going to experience the college deal, to me, that ain't a good deal. So either go or stay. But that's you two choices. What I hear here is, hey, look, you stay here. I'm going to go kick up my hills, and maybe I'll be back, maybe I won't. Kick up her heels.

Which is okay. That's our best advice. Hey, it's good that you know it now. Okay. There you go. That's where we're at. Hold on, before we leave it, I got one more thing. All right.

From personal experience, when I was young, very young, I mean, out of high school, before college college. Back dinosaur age. I took off. Is there a difference between college, college, college? Yeah, when you get serious about college, you sit on the front row and you start learning everything you can and take all the remedial courses and build your base. That is not the experience. And then you go all the way and get your master's. There's college and the class.

college. You're going to be, yeah. I actually learn. But before all that happened, and I was kind of in the first three semesters don't count. College was the best 12 years of my life. Anyway, my college experience was part of having for a good time. Yeah, both weeks. No education involved here.

I didn't speak. But before all the college college. That's why it ain't for everybody, baby. It ain't for everybody. It ain't for everybody. I moved to Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn Michigan. Wasn't that world?

with my aunt and uncle and I was just gonna stay there and work and I was gonna live there and my girlfriend we had broken up she flew to Dearborn She flew the coop

No I flew the coop She came to get me And we've been together for 31 years I was about saying it's your name Alicia Because this story is going to be Or it's by Felicia So no My point is

You know what, fight for what you want. Where's she going to college? He don't give that. He's from a great state. It sounds like Knoxville. That's close. I'm saying where she's going. There's a solid chance.

Yeah. Yeah, they're from Tennessee. Who knows. Rocket time. You'll always be home sweet home to me. Unless you don't know. Good old rocket time. Woo.

All right, one more. Yeah, something, I don't know. I like it. What are we doing? Yeah, that way they can cut out all the times we mention where he's from. That way his girlfriend doesn't get furious at him later. She's not going to be furious. She's already gone.

Martin's got it pegged. Martin don't like love, man. I love love. I also don't see the reason for him to sit there and spin his wheels. Either go or don't. You've got two options. Reality. Like, Hedge Carolina, tails California.

You got two options. buddy. Hey, it's Carolina. That sounds like a song to me. I guarantee you. All right. What's you got to know, JD? All right.

Brooke from the great state of West Virginia. Mm-hmm. West Virginia. Just to the left of Virginia. I had a good buddy for mayor in the military. Loves the show, has a question, wants to get y'all's opinion. My husband is dealing with a family member that is being very difficult to deal with and help. He doesn't seem to want to help himself.

I'm having a hard time. sporting my husband when he lends him a helping hand because my husband and his family have helped him numerous times. But the situation always ends up back in a mess and causes stress on my husband. She knows the Christian thing to do is to help others when you can and love others like Jesus. But how do you help someone who doesn't want to help themselves? Tuffy. Counselor. I'm going to defer to Uncle Sy on this one. Really?

Well, I mean, I've got an idea of a counselor. As bad as I hate to say this, you cannot help a person that doesn't want help. That can't help himself. You can't do it. Okay. So all this effort that's being put forth for this person in a way is being wasted. Because until the person that needs help realizes he needs help, and then does something about it,

it's a futile effort. And I hate to say that. Counselor. So, you know, if you enable somebody in their behavior enough times, then it's really going to fall back on you. You're going to wear yourself out. Whoever is helping this person,

they're going to wear themselves out, and nothing's going to change until that person changes. You know, and the hardest thing, thing to do is to walk away, but sometimes you just got to walk away and let them figure it out. The best way you can help him is not to help him. Sometimes. I mean, that's a hard saying, but that's true. But in my own life, when I have these situations come up, and I do have them come up where

people need help and I'll help them all that I can, you know, through the church or whatever it is, but I can only go so far. And I just share the love of Jesus with them, and I preach to them, and I tell them about the resurrection and Jesus is mediating work that he does for us, all these things, because that's what gives me hope. And if I'm helping and helping and helping and I'm preaching and preaching, and they're not going to try to do the right thing. I can't help them any more than that. That's all I can give them is my time, my encouragement, my help, my resources, and then tell them about Jesus. And if that doesn't do it for them, I don't have anything else.

There you go. Well, you've done, gave them your best. Yeah, it would just sigh, it starts to wear me down. No, no. So that I'm on. Once you've given your best to them, okay, and they don't really take it and do something with it, you can't help them. No, if I'm wore out from trying to help and I come to you and say, hey, it ain't working. What I need to do, you're going to say, stop.

Yeah. Get your senses back to it. I mean, figure it out. You can't help these people that don't want to help themselves. Yeah. Yeah. It's biblical. I'm with you.

Yeah. Sometimes the help isn't for them at all. It's for you. Like it's a guilty conscience thing where you feel guilty because you haven't had to go through it. And so you're helping them, even though it's hurting them, because you feel guilty. Don't let that guilt and shame get on you. Good point. Like, don't let that do what you've done.

If it's enough, it's enough. Perfect verse of the day. There you go. Oh, you got one? Zai can read. Well, I was looking for a verse. I didn't really have one. That's the best one.

Sometimes you do have to let people hit rock. Well, this actually really weren't. And it is weird. I just Googled verse of the day because I go to this website a lot. And it happens to be like my favorite verse. Weird. And we've used it before. But sometimes you do have to let people hit a low.

Yeah. Sometimes they got to bounce a couple of times when they hit there. Read it, JD. This is fine. And then after they've hit that and then do help themselves. they can say what Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12 and 9, but he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you,

for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me. At the end of the day, it's up to the person, my friend broke from West Virginia. And when that person realized, you tell them about Jesus. When I figure out Jesus,

all those weaknesses from before will turn into power. Love it. We'll see y'all next time right here. In the duck hall room. Not the one day in wind it with boys.
