He's not here, I was going to go a very direct. route because, you know, we talked about Hunter being single in a couple of episodes, and we've had some submissions of moms and dads sending their daughters who are single who think that Hunter may be the guy for them, but we don't have the ability to throw it up on the TV right now. So we'll wait until John David comes back. That way we can show this fine little thing.

Yeah, and we may even, I may even trade chairs with Hunter, so he can sit over here. and defend himself. Put it on the spot last way. Yeah. He's not. Put him on a hot seat, boys. I'll go over there and hit record. I think I can handle it for me.

I can defend myself from right here, thanks. Do what? I can defend myself from right here, I think. This is so much fun. But I'm so glad I'm not him. Yeah, that's probably why I'm going to sit like on this side of the camera. Yeah. No, nope, you're going to come over here whenever the auditions start.

Well, you can pull the one is this is your life deal. Yeah. Just have her show up. Okay. One day. You want to do that? Yeah. Yeah.

I think we have multiple applicants. Hey, yeah. And do like the dating game. Contestate number one? Yeah. Contestant number one. Applicant number one? That's right.

Hey, why do you think he should choose you? Oh, we can put up like a screen so they can't see each other too. Oh, yeah. They just talk. And then at the end of it, he walks around the corner and they get up and leave. Yeah, that's what it all happens. That's right. That's right.

Yeah, that's probably going to have a steak somewhere. Oh, steak. And you have a night on the town. You know, I'm glad you said that about steaks. Oh, I've got where I cook the best filet mignon you can cook. How do you cook it? I cook it on top of the stove. Back away.

And I don't know. Iron skillet. So what temperature? What temperature are hot. Okay. Hey, what I do, look, hey, you have to flip it. What? six times

okay put it on the side two minutes flip it on the other side two minutes okay then you got to pick it up and have the fork in it and put it on the

on the other two sides of that okay so that's four minutes two minutes two minutes two minutes and then you get to the where you put it over on where you you know on the round circle And two minutes on that.

And then the last one is what you do is when you put it over, you put a lid on it, lay the fire on it, what, three quarters for two minutes, turn it off and let it rest. Let it. Stong says it's called breathe. Let it breathe for five minutes. And it's actually steaming, okay, for that last two minutes. And when you cut into it, it's medium,

plus. That's where I was trying to get to. I don't even think it's a million. No, no. A New York sales said there is no sustaining as a medium plus. I beg to pardon that chef, he don't know his business.

There is a medium plus. Because every time I cook that three-inch filet mignon, which is about, I think it's eight ounces. When I cut it, it's light pink. Dry as a bone. No, oh, it ain't no.

No, that's what I would just say. What are you? call it stone when it the juice that leaks out when you cook something like you as you as you hey when you eat this eight ounce okay the a ju i how do i what i do is cut me a good thing cut it in high take my fork put it in arju eat that one grab the other one and when i get through there's no juice left okay yes it's because there wasn't ever run no yeah it was too it's juicy Not when you cook it that alone. You sit.

I ate two minutes. You eating a steak or you eating jerky? Oh, no. I'm eating a, hey, I wouldn't even need teeth. That's a good thing. If I had false teeth, I can think about it, eat it, and just enjoy it. What seasoning do you put on it? No, nothing.

Salt pepper. Oh, thank God for that. I thought you were just coming straight down. Hey, look, I don't put that directly on it. What I do is I got these flavor round tomato. the small ones, about the size of a 50 cent piece. Okay, you cut them in half, your whole plate, okay, is full of the tomatoes.

Then you salt and pepper them pretty heavy. Okay, then, hey, you've got all your salt and pepper on the plate, so hey, then you just stop your steak in that. Oh, boy. Oh, no, it's the finest piece of meat you'll ever want to eat. It's good as, hey, it's good as his beef tenderloins. Same deal. It's medium, medium plus, perfect.

You're going to sit there and take that? Well, I have to. Oh, no. Look, he's the one to tell them how to do it. Okay, because I said, well, let's see what we got here. You know, because the woman bought them, you know, when I looked at them, she buys six to a package. They about 40 bucks.

Six to a package, three sticks like this and about that big around, eight ounce. And I cook one, and then, like I said, I have a whole plate full of tomatoes cut up. You know, salt and pepper that heavy, and then, hey, then go ahead and enjoy your steak and tomatoes. Steak and tomato. Finest meal you ever want to eat, boys. Kind of like deconstructed spaghetti, what it sounds like he's eating over there. Oh, no.

Hey, it's juicy. Mm-hmm. All that made are juicy shopping. Hey, pretty perfect, boy. You use any butter or olive oil in your skin? That's what I got in the pan. Okay. There's a chunk of butter about this bigger.

There's your eyes you right there. No, no. Yeah. And it is fine. Yeah. Well, the reason I wanted you... This is actually salt butter, okay? Yeah.

Too. Okay. That's good. So it's, I, oh, it cooked a steak finest you ever wanted, okay? The reason I wanted you to bring back up Medium Plus, because I've been tagged on Instagram in Dale Earnhardt Jr's podcast where one of his coworkers ordered a steak medium plus. All right. Did they get it?

And, hey, look. And he, like... the rest of us, was so dumbfounded and says that that shouldn't even be a term that anybody uses. So we're sitting there at dinner in Pocono and I get a salmon plate and a couple, pretty much everybody else that gets a steak. And the lady asks, well, how do you want it cooked? And the guy says medium plus. Hmm. I haven't heard that one. And I said, what the hell? Everyone at the table started going, oh, that's just made it sound like this totally common term.

Like it's just been there all their lives, right? I'm 49 this year, and I'm hearing Medium Plus for the very first time. And you want answers. Medium Plus is like 10 degrees warmer than medium, but it's not medium well. We're sitting there having this argument. And I'm like, well, why do you want to be such a high-man? maintenance ass and just and ask for a medium plus you know it just seems like a unnecessary extra step now we're talking about Dale Earnhardt Jr. now yeah but hey I know but why you're talking about

me one don't use it I'm just saying hey if it's like pink in the middle like it's supposed to be that's medium plus and it is perfecto for a steak because I don't like my medium rare I like mine where the juice when you cut it is juicy. Okay. I don't want to believe. I'm just saying you were. I don't want to hear it move when I cut it. And it's fine.

I know you're perfectly fine taking this stance, but you're very much in the minority on medium plus. They even said it don't exist, which is a bald face lie. Okay, because hey, the problem is most of the cooks cannot cook it to a light pink. It's just, it's against their morals. Well, hey, no, they cook it too long. Yeah, the cow means too long.

They cook it too long. That's what medium plus is, cooked too long. Nope, nope, nope. No, it's cooked to perfection for a person that liked it, like it in the middle. Oh, boy. It's hard to pull off. I'm just saying.

It's hard to pull off. I'll give you that. I'm with Dale Jr. I'm with 88 all the way on this one. That's why most people go with media. medium rare. Why? Because the shelf cannot get it like pink.

Okay. But if you can do it light pink, that's medium plus. And hey, you're not going to beat it. That's the best there is. Okay. I just, I mean, I figured since Dale Jr. brought it up, I just thought it was worth mentioning again. There you go.

Because look, I've ordered it that way for 50 years. And they buy it. You know how many times I actually get? Got one that way? I don't. One time somebody else did it. The other time, I got to cook it to get it the way I want it. You passionate about this, ain't it?

Oh, yeah. I can see it in the eye. Oh, yeah, I'm definitely right. Hey, yeah, I'm passionate about it. Because, hey, there ain't nothing better if the steak is cooked right. I'll say that. I've seen that look many times. It ain't just his eyes.

No, I love it. Oh, no, no. Look, hey, you know, most people run it. a good steak. I know. You just told us how to. Okay. I'm there.

Because most of the time when I go to a restaurant and look, I've been some of the finest in the world. Okay. Then you get chicken because you just saw you so flabbergasted. Oh, no. I get angry. Okay. Okay.

Because, hey, I told them how to cook it and they brought it and all. They made it like a boot. I'll take it back. You'll take it back. Cook it some more. No. Don't cook. Oh, oh.

Uh-oh. There he is, boys. Hey. It's 2014. It's Trump for himself. Obviously you're busy. It's 2014 all over again. I love it.

I like it when the fat boy comes here for just a second and then leaves. Oh, crap. We ought to ask him about median plus. He's a chef. He's a steak man. Hey. He's steak, man. Oh, well, let's take a break.

We'll be back right after this. All right. time is here it's warming up you know what that means that means more outside cook and 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 ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robinson 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 Tritails 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'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 tribeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

All right, we're back. So this is what happens. The boss comes and kick the door down a mile ago acting like we're on Doug Dinus. They gave all of us a heart attack again. But we do need it. Okay. Because we have an issue, okay, that we're discussing. Technically we don't.

Okay. Well, I've got a big issue. You've got many issues. I have said on this podcast, okay, and I was rebuked by some chef in New York. I said, hey, I like when I order my steak, I order it medium plus. Well, the chef in New York said there's

on such thing. And I said, I beg your pardon, sir. You don't know what you're talking about. I wouldn't eat nothing. You cook. But anyway. Medium plus? Medium plus.

Okay. Not medium well. This guy, he's eating everywhere around the world. What is medium? What is that? Thank you. That's, hey, when you order the steak, when I said, sir, how would you like your steak? I always say, I want it light pink in the middle.

And, hey, I don't care if it's... Medium well. No. No, no, don't ever say the word well, because then you're going to have a shoe, you start with medium. It's medium plus. Medium plus is a person who wants to wear a medium shirt but can't quite fit in that. No, they need to look extra.

No. You got the extra right. Like I would be an extra large plus. No, no. You got the extra right, okay. I don't want it medium rare. So you just made up a word. No, no.

That's a tubby. Let's tell me. I don't want it medium rare. I don't want it running red blood. I want it light. Well, no. Everything you're saying is the way you can cook something. You're saying, I don't want it rare.

That's it. That's the word that's associated with that. That's why I put. You don't want it well. You want it medium. I don't want it. But on the medium, it could be medium. I don't ever want it.

Medium rare. Because when you say, well, they're going to burn it. Okay. where it's dried out and it's boot leather. Well, that's what they're just using the wrong word. No. Plus means plus what? It's just a bad, which I know.

I mean, you're not a word smith or technically you're not really educated. I'm just saying you're putting a word in there that doesn't. Well, hey, let me ask you this. When I say medium raw, what is that going to say to you? What is that going to say to you? Well, if you told me that and I were cooking it, I still would have to go the first thing you said, which is medium. So I know that it's not raw.

That would be rare. So still the medium, you're not giving enough credit to the word when you say medium. A chef. Well, hey. Okay. I know where he wants to be. The reason I say that is because I've said, okay, I'm telling them what the steak should look like. Okay.

When I say medium plus, okay, they should be thinking, okay. Just a little past, yo, medium. See, I just wouldn't know what that plus what, like me. That makes no sense to me. Because you could put whatever word you, you can say medium fair. Medium right now. Well, hey, that's the reason I said. I actually give them a color.

Okay. Medium plus is telling them, hey, I want it cooked a little bit more, longer than you medium rare I don't want it rare it's okay to say medium well they know then you still want to pay anytime I put well on it it would be like cutting this right here scabbard either well that's what I'm trying to eat it

well perhaps you're just been damaged by somebody in the past that cook you know and you you had that one experience and now you're trying to say everybody well no no why don't you understand when I say okay when you said, sir, how would you like your steak? I said, hey, how thick is the steak to begin with? The guy says, three inches. I said, I want it light pink in the middle.

That's medium well. Nope, nope. You can't use the word well, or it's going to come back tough as boot liver. Technically, that is medium, well. They're going to burn it dry. I think you're feeling insecure because you don't want to say well. No. You like a steak medium whale.

That's what you like. No. But you don't like that you are that guy, but you're that guy. Medium well has got no pink in it anywhere. It's the color of this boat. It's leather. And it takes just like that. No, that's well done.

No, hey. No, that's just all the juice is. You're putting the wrong describers. Hey, you might as well just, hey, here, let me take my belt off and I'll eat my own belt. Oh, here. Come in a knife. You don't know, I'll cut this and eat it because that's what you're cooking. That's whale.

That's well. So we're going to lose the plus because that doesn't, that's not a good qualifier. Well, hey, I've described what I want. So you. I want it light pink in the middle. Well, if I'm at a nice restaurant, I go, look. Hey, these dummies can't bring the light pink to me. But, but, hey, what is your problem?

We can always, I think, get to where you want. I'd probably order a little bit more because you can still get it there. If you've gone to pass, you can't go back. If you ever put well on a steak, you're fixing to have a belt to eat. Well, this is what you do. Next time you go to a plate,

order one medium, cut in it and say, no, just a little more. Well, why don't just tell them, hey, light pink in the middle? Or just don't get the steak. What do you don't understand about light pink in the middle? Hey, look it, why, you got it on the grill? Don't just eat chicken, side.

Yeah, you got it on the grill. I told you all right pink. Eat chicken. Hey, thank you now. Thank you for it. Cut it a little and say, oh, it's light pink. Okay, here we go. Take it to him.

It's light pink. It's ready. Medium plus. Okay, that's my judgment. Is that all I'm needed? Your judgment was wrong. I was just wondering where you stood on it. He had another judge.

Yeah. Be another judge. He don't know what he's talking about either. I was hoping that maybe, you know, the rest of the world and Dale Jr. were wrong and somebody had heard of Medium Plus before. Because Del Jr. Just dealt about this on his podcast. Oh, I don't know.

Is that one of his? Is that one of his? Is that some, is the people? What we have here is a failure to communicate. One of the people that worked for him, he took everybody out to dinner. You don't know how to interpret. And his employee ordered a stake medium plus.

And he says it should be banned. It's not a real term. Yeah, that's not. I think that's just everybody's trying to use that word. That's a platform. That's a network. Somebody like, sigh goes, that's a cool word. I'm going to work that in somewhere I go, you know.

So then he ordered. is like, that's not even a word, dude. It just made me wonder if, like, the person that works on Dale Jr.'s team listened to Sye, because he's talked about this before. And up until this man, I had never remotely heard the term medium plus.

It's medium well. Have you ever heard the term light pink? I'm not the one you're arguing with cooking. I'm just asking. Hey, y'all don't put, hey, you don't want to hit a bad buck on me, buddy. I don't want my trip that long anyway. You can keep saying that as long as you.

you say I'm going to like tell you exactly what color. I can see if I was speaking German. We have an interpreter doing it. Y'all can't we need an interpreter for the English language. We need the interpreter for you. I know that's for sure.

Hey folks, what does the term light pink mean to you? Medium well. It's medium plus. Ain't it funny what he stands on and what he doesn't? Thanks, boss. We appreciate you. Go back to work. Yeah, get back to work. Now get back to work.

Now, all right, let's take another break. We'll be back. Hey, we didn't have another break. Did you tell him what you were going to do with, old Bobby Brown? No, I didn't tell him about. No, we never had a chance to, because he got too passionate about this. Hey, how he got passionate.

Hey, I got an idea of what you can do, though. If you, oh, we're back rolling. So the folks at home, we've talked before the podcast, there's this deer down there that they hunt named Bobby Browes that Willie really is interested in. and sigh wants to get him before Willie does. So now, if he walked out there in front of me, I'm just going to get thrown off property.

But I got an idea. So see, here's my idea. After what just. Let him run all. Yeah, let him run all season. No, not even that. I got a better one now. After what just transpired, you get Bobby Browse,

you take his backstrap out, and you go home and you cook it medium plus, and then you serve it to Willie. and say this is medium plus and when he takes a bite and he's like that's pretty good do you say oh by the way that's Bobby Brown yeah yeah that's right hey hey hey they say oh by the way got you no no no no well but you see what I'm saying you give him the ultimate call hey hey boss come on though let me show you what medium plus looks like yeah yeah you don't ain't that good there's I said well how was that you know and when he says well i got a hand to you it was really good i said well hey that was bobby brown too yeah

brown brown brown brown brown town oh man you know there's only two people on planet earth i could get away with killing that deer other than willie fill and sigh no sign me and bk oh cori no bk could get rid of that bk's unit bk would be excommunicated yeah corey and sigh they're the only two they get away with it the problem is the person is going to it's going to be Phil out of the truck. Well, that's probably what's going to happen. That's probably what's going to happen. No, that ain't going to happen.

It ain't going to be Burley. Phil going to be sitting out of jamming. Burley, Burley's got where if he picks up a rifle, stongle over and takes away from, no, you ain't taking this out there. No buckshot, no buckshot. Give him my red rider. Unbelievable. Wow.

Wow. Oh, boy. I don't even know how to recover from all that passion. And, Si, you got to be tired and win between. Oh, no. I'll get fired up. Look, he's sweating. Oh, I guarantee you.

I love it. No, that's good. Well, it's hot in here. I will say that. From where I was sitting, it was very entertaining. Oh, I'd be too. Well, I had to take my headset off because I got so loud, he's giving me an headache. Oh, no, no.

Hey, look. I didn't have no problem here any of him. That's one thing about the Robertsons, okay? We're very passionate about our food. okay and you know we like it to be right i think you could have just said passionate i think i pretty much described all in just about everything they're very passionate about being right now that is a yes well i couldn't see i couldn't see willie's point willy said you willy said what dale jr said my problem is i used the word medium yeah now

the problem was you were putting plus behind it because it's not an accepted term it's a term that nobody knows to put with a steak well well because there's not like rare plus it's just about medium like when you say well when you say the term plus with a steak you're like I want to steak plus the shrimp that's right it's not or I want to take plus the lobster it's or steak plus a salad it's not medium plus well medium well now I understand what he was trying to, what Willie was trying to tell me. Yeah, medium plus mushrooms.

Like, he's just waiting on something else with the plus, you know. A little past. Yeah. Just keep going. The extra. Just don't get to that W word. Well, I don't know, because, hey, you don't want to use the word well. No.

Don't put the W on it. Oh, no. You put the W on it. Well, I know, but you can't put it. You can't say well in order to steak, because if you say well, yeah. They're going to cook it for, hey, it's just like that.

scabbard. Oh, by the way. It's actually the reason at a restaurant, I do not order steaks. That's right. Because I know how I like them and I can cook them better at my house. So I get something at a restaurant that I'm not very good at cooking. It's the same thing about shrimp. And it's generally like the fish of the day or something.

Like that's the stuff I eat at a restaurant. I never get the beef. That's right. That's why I never order shrimp when I'm out in a restaurant. Yeah. Because they can't cook it while I can eat it. So I did an experiment. No.

I need it. So I'm going to cut five pounds of five days. Here's how you do it. Easiest diet you ever do. You eat one rotissory chicken at three o'clock and dip it in W sauce. Every day? I did it for five days in a row and I lost five pounds. A whole rotissory chicken.

A whole rotissory chicken. And that's all you eat. No breakfast. That's all you ate. That's it. You eat it three. Drink a bunch of water. A drink cup of coffee in a morning, a bunch of water.

Energy drink here and there. And you lost your weight? I lost one pound a day. Well, I didn't lose any of the first day, but then like two. I'll have to start that early, though. I mean, I'll have to just eat one rotissory chicken. I have to make it last all day. No, you eat it once.

I got to eat. Oh, yeah, he got that sugar. Oh, that's right. The sugar deal. But I can snout. I can snack on it all day. So you can't fast? Mm-mm.

I got you. No. I do. I do like a rotisserie. Well, I'll tell you, a rotisserie dipped in that. I'd save that thigh for last. Yeah, no,

I'd get out there in that juice. I'd start on that dry end. That's it. Yeah, but you know that one at max is pretty juicy. Yeah. You're very dry. But you dip it in that. And you got you something.

You got some. Yeah. I eat one one time with grocery shopping in there. You ate it while? Like your grocery? Yeah, don't do that. You won't buy nothing. He was grazing.

You had to go back to store tomorrow. Never. You go to the grocery store hungry, and then you buy all of it. I remember, like, some of these hunting trips we went on to go in there and get one of them rotissary chickens. It ain't nothing but a carcass when we put it on the deal up there. You just sitting there picking. Of course, we're still buying Little Debbie's and everything else trying to get the next day.

But, like, yeah, I've been there done that. But the rotisserie chickens are good. I actually done that to a turkey in college. A road pastry turkey? Hey. They sold turkeys? No, no. They cooked turkey for Thanksgiving.

Yeah. Well, I'm the one that putting them in the cooler when they're cooking them. Oh. And as we was going back and forth, taking them when we get them, you know. Yeah. We'll pick, hey, I ate a whole turkey. Hey, did you eat the stuff inside the turkey? No.

You didn't eat the giblet? I ate the whole turkey. Do you eat the giblets with a turkey? You eat like the gizzards and the liver and the net? No, I wasn't worried about that. You don't eat none of that? Man. You ate a whole turkey?

I ate a whole turkey. Because, like, hey, they cooked like 40. I believe it. 60. We went in there and put them in the cooler. I'd grab me a little piece every time I go in there. The boss comes in there and says, all right, who's the culprit? You know, and everybody looks, what are you doing?

He said, come on. So we all went back. in the cooler. And there was a car. Hey, no, no, we had two to a tray. One of them just ain't nothing but to corkers. And I looked and I said, well, I guess I was hungry and I thought it was. He said, hey, look, if you're that hungry, go upstairs before you start work and eat.

He just gray. You know, I said, hey, well, hey, just take it out of my check. That's great. Take a little slice every time you go. That's it. Just take a little piece of every time going. One piece of time. See, that's how I grill.

And then Brittany gets aggravated because I take everything inside. She's like, yeah, let's eat. I'm hungry. I said, no, I'm good. I just start cleaning my mess up. Well, you got a quality check. She's sitting there eating her by herself. You got a quality check.

Every time. Hey. Every time I do that. Chef's got that taste. It's cooking, boys. But she's done figured out now. She knows if I open up like a pack or two of smoke sausage, by the time dinner's done, I ain't going to eat.

Yeah, I ain't. Because I don't sit out there and ate that sausage. That's it. Oh, yeah. And I ain't going to eat none of the main course. Yeah. Mm-mm. No.

Boy, I think I'm going to grill this evening. Are you? What time's it going to be ready? Yeah, what time we eat? What you grill? I don't know. Well, I might not have time tonight. I got a backstrap, live.

Do you? I send the kids. I've been saving it. Now, you'd have fun with my boys now, Gavin. They're crawling. Oh, yeah. Do you find out that you're a home? Hey, Mowbel.

Wasn't as childproof as you thought. No, I knew it wasn't childproof. I still ain't done nothing to childproof yet. Brittany on me hard about that. Oh, they're fixing to be walking. Oh, that won't be long. Jackson, I don't think it'll be long because he pulling himself up. Wayland still, he just crawled.

But the problem is... He's tricking you. It's a trap. Here's a problem. They start out at the same spot. And they go just like it. It's the veer. They go as far away from each other as they can get in that house.

They don't do nothing together. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. No, that makes it a problem. No, no, that's a good thing. Yeah. You'll find that later. It takes two to watch them.

Unbelievable. Hey, they'll get away from you so quick. You'll be going, how did they do that? Oh, Jackson is already becoming a pro. I always like it when they get in the, he's gone. He doesn't figure it out how to fall. Or getting in the sink or getting in on the oven. Well, they love that little warming tray on the oven.

Love it. Open it 57 times a day. All the big. bathroom, but they don't ever shut. And all this. They just don't. We'll hear, rack it and look,

both of them being the inside underneath the cabinets in the kitchen. Well, see, at least y'all's is doing the same thing. I'm telling you right now, mine just get as far apart. I guess they spent their whole life to this point together. They just trying to get away from each other. They tired of each other. Anyway,

let's take another break. We'll be back right after this. All right, we're back. Look, I know we've been trying new things with the email stuff. and, you know, we just had some good conversation today, so I just let her bump without Johnny D here. But we'll jump into that inbox. Hello at duck callroom.com is the email address.

The first one is advice from Godwin. Oh, good, great. Look at it. Romantic. Well, buddy, you've been pretty spot on with your advice. I'd be asking from you too. Yeah. But this one actually has absolutely nothing to do with any advice you've given in the past.

But I read it, and it's, It's pretty cool. All right. Said on me. Sarah says, I'm a mom of two children, one by birth and one by adoption. How did you go about raising your child when adoption conversations came up? I never want our son to think he is different in any way. I always tell him God meant for you to be ours, but he just had to find a different

road for you to get here. He's very smart, and I know he has questions. I just think he's afraid to ask because he doesn't want to feel different. I even think sometimes he may suffer from abandonment issues. any advice would help. And she sent a picture, but she asks not to show it. So we're going to respect the wishes, but I'll show you real quick. He doesn't call it a big.

Ooh, whoa. So. That's a walleye or a bath? That's a bath. Large-mouth bass. Biggie. I thought it. Well, when we got Johanna, we always told her bedtime stories that

Mama was sick in her belly and couldn't have kids. and there was a couple that was having a child, and they let us have it to raise. So we didn't make it, and we called her Johanna, which is a gracious gift from God. And she'd say, you know, so that's what Paula would tell bedtime story every night. So we never taught, she always knew she was adopted from way little.

So that helped us look like he's older But I would say Just tell him But don't make a big deal out of it Just make it like it's normal And it's fine Well that that and It's a gift from God

Yeah Sure you know Okay Like you said Mama couldn't have a child Okay So hey he gave He found God found another way

For you to have a child Yeah, we explained to her that she did have another mom and dad and didn't keep nothing from her. And she asked questions. She wanted to call one time, but she was a little young, and we told her when she got 16, we'd let her, that it was a little young for her right now. But he'll have questions, but just make it no big deal.

but tell them, don't keep it from him. Yeah, don't hide the... Because the order he gets, if you keep it from him, it's going to hit him harder. Yeah. Well, and in today's world, too, you got all those things out there, like the 23 of me and all that stuff that they may,

if you ain't ever told them, they may be thinking their whole life that I'm okay, then they fill out one of them things. Next thing they know, like, whoa, talk about a shock to the system, you know. Yeah. I've heard about it happening with people. I mean, Johanna has a relationship with her mom and dad.

So, I mean, she goes, she's got brother and sisters, which wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. But she knows all of them and talks to them, you know. Yeah. So it ain't no big deal. Yeah. That's cool. No, when I read that when I was like, yeah, no, that's a good one.

I've already touched on a couple of these. Diane, I'm just going to talk how I talk. trying so I'm not trying anything and we talked about Dale Earnhardt and the medium plus stay oh here's one I wonder why I wonder why this one got starred love having Hunter miced up can we also get him on camera so we can see when he's laughing capital letters more hunter more hunter there you go funny thing is from hunter at gmail com oh that's a little whole email you know that's a great email I that's a great email I still don't think I should be on camera though.

Yeah, well, hey, you keep up this, you keep up this deal and we're about to have a dating segment on here. Oh, yeah. I mean, the advice we give on dating is going to be live and inaction. Because if we keep getting requests and I would borderline call them applications. Yeah, to be. Yeah, to be your betroth. We're going to get you something, son. Don't worry.

Hey, don't fight it. Don't resist. It only gets worse. Don't worry. That sounds like big fun to me. Yeah. I see. Look, you even got a little smile out of stone, Hunter.

That's hard. Si, I could be Chuck Willery. Oh, yeah. He got tacky suits he can wear. Oh, yeah. Rhinestone. So I come in here in his Porter Wagner jacket. Hey, look, both in his big deal boys.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hey. I guarantee you. Oh, unbelievable. I'll even lend my coat, Hunter. There you go.

You don't want to do that. You may never get it back. Oh, no, I get it back. Look what happened. Look what happened with you in that dragon jacket. Oh, yeah. Hey, I wore that now. Next thing you know, I know.

You've been married for 50-something years now. That was a good one. See? Mm-hmm. Oh, man. He could keep her eyes off at Black Dragon. Close, make the man. A red dragon, boys.

Okay. Yeah. Hey, Penny sends in. I told you we were going to read reviews. This is a positive one. Love your show. Regular TV is horrible, and your show gets me laughing. Love the scripture at the end of the show.

Keep up the good work. Oh, I did have one I got yesterday. I wanted to share with our fans. Let me pull up Instagram. Is that good or bad? No, it's good. Well, it's a, it's a request. Request.

From a fan. No, it's a, it's a, it's a prayer request. That is what it is. So Nikki, who is a faithful watcher and listeners, says her husband was just diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. And I know you guys are a big praying family. And so are all the people in the duck call room just ask if you could lift us up in your prayers right now. So Nikki, we will. Folks at home, we ask if you feel led to lift Nikki and her family up in prayers.

That's never an easy one. Actually, we have one of our employees here, Shonda, who worked. in our store, they just found her dad covered in cancer as well. So there's not hardly anybody in this world that hadn't been affected by that C-word, and we all know that it sucks. But we will pray for you guys. You know, and just, man, keep the faith, keep believing. Man, what in the world?

Tracy. Just made it to episode 77. Candy corn is awesome. Look, Halloween's approaching. Candy corn's terrible. By the way, you want to run all the kids off from your place and never have them come back, trick or trick, and give them candy corn. Candy corn. It's the biggest gar of all Halloween candies ever.

You want them to come back, get them some Reese's. There you go. Or hand out some little Debbie pumpkin brownies. I'm not telling you what to do. Or Almond Joyce. There you. Almond joys way better than candy corn. Not as good as Reese's.

Butterfinger is bite size. He's solid. Boy. Anything but candy corn and the stupid little orange pumpkins. There's marshmallows aren't that good. We're making them into other shapes. Because they're horrible. They really are.

I'm thinking of candy corn. I got a good one for you. Go ahead. When Sage was little, when she was about three, my mom made her a Halloween costume. And it was a candy corn. Now that one's probably pretty legit. But when she come walking up, I thought, first thing I thought was the Grand Wizard. Oh, she, it looked like a...

And it was supposed to be candy corn. Okay. And I told my mom, I said, I think you need to revisit this candy corn idea. Yeah, that one. That did work out. Mm. Bob sent one in.

This one for you, too. I'm going to be interested if you get this one. Uh-oh. Why does it take so long to get into the Lego store? The Lego store. They won't let go. I don't know why. Because they're lined up for blocks.

Lined up for blocks. They lined up for blocks. Ah! Add that one to your repertoire, Johnny Jr. I did giggle when I read that one. That one ain't off a Laffy Taffy rapper there. And Stahl, here's one from a man that said, you know, when we've been in the past talked about losing patience,

and especially with this man over here driving on the road, little road rage incident. Oh, hi. Kevin keeps a rock in his hand while he's driving, and he just sits there and rubs it to keep him from just going nut. And he said he named it Jay Stone. There you go. There you go.

He said it's the only Jay Stone he can get his hands on without getting choked. That's right. Yeah, you don't want to do the other one. Whatever it takes. Because at the front of the line that you're behind is Jay Stone. That's him. Huh? Oh.

Stone don't drive over in the left lane. No, but he drives 20 miles an hour. Well, God would not all of us want to go fast. I'm a very defensive drive. Oh, yeah. I ride with him a lot, so, hey, he has a very courteous driver. Yeah, me too. Jay Stone is.

I'm very defensive. I try my best. Jordan Summit. Patient. Yeah. I leave early. Yield. That way you don't have to worry about it.

Yeah, he's got me thinking the same way. No. Hey, there's idiots. you're going to run into them. Don't let them get you. Oh, you're going to run into it. Oh, no. Every time I get in the vehicle.

Every time you get in your vehicle. You know, somebody pulls out in front of me. I just laugh, you know. A lot of people, I've been with people, they get pulled, somebody pulls out in front of them. Well, they do. They get right up on that bumper. Mm-hmm.

I ain't doing that. And then they start that sign language. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can't do that. Just relax. I don't do that.

The ones that I do find aggravating is because I'm already a defensive driver as it is, and then they pull out in front of me, but there was nobody behind me, and then they still go 25. Like, if you'd just let me pass you, then there's nobody, it's all clear back there. And then you can drive however slow you want to. And I'm not in a hurry. Don't, don't, don't, I'm never in a hurry anywhere. Well, I always like the one that passes you.

Yeah. And it gets in front of you. And then slow down. Then slow down. And then you go around now. Y'all, go around. And the next time he's passing you again. gone again.

There is. But every time they slow down, you ever look over 99% time they got their phone in their hand? When they go flying by you, they ain't got their phone. Uh-oh, somebody texted them. Let me get over here and be safe and slow. I'm going to slow down to 75 and text. That way I'm not driving 90 because that's irresponsible. That's right.

That's right. Then bunch of them. Well, when you're on the interstate, you put it on cruise control. 100%. They go by and then here they come back. I know. Go by again. Why don't they put it on for it?

go by again. Yeah, I swear there must have been a study public somewhere. It said it's linked to brain cancer or something. I don't know. Using cruise control. The best one nowadays, you're sitting down to red. Of course, we're coming up with no cell phone. People didn't act so stupid.

But when you had a red light and that light turns green and nobody moot. Yeah, they're just sitting there. Well, they ain't three watching the floor. Oh, no, no. Worse than that. They sit there turns red again. Yeah. And then take off.

Yeah, then go through it. Y'all, you're sitting there talking about, you stupid idiot. Yeah, the only thing more entertaining to watch on the road than like a boat ramp is a four-way stop. I don't guess anybody goes through that. Well, no, no. I don't guess anybody understands it's like an order which you get there. You, you, you, you, it's not that hard. No, no, you're talking about a three-ring circus.

Oh, it's a circus. Okay. Is then you guys put the roundabout? Oh, yeah. Arkansas. Rednecks aroundabout. Oh, no. The first two weeks they had that rare, I laughed.

Yeah. I would pull up and say, my folks, it's not that hot. It's called a roundabout for a reason. Yeah. Nothing's coming going around. Well, you can't do that because the redneck's any circle in the road. He wants to cut a do-up. Oh, no.

Or you got to stop. Ain't nothing you can do about it. You got to stop. I laughed. I really did. I finally just had to pull off the side of the road, I couldn't even see. And when did yield mean stop? I was crying.

When they put a roundabout at it. Yeah. That's when it means stop. Yeah. Pull up there and stop. Then folks at the well road exit, now that there's a roundabout up, they still think that yield signs actually. Oh, it's the one I love it.

He'd pull up there. He'd get in the end in it. And he would go. You know, no, hey, there's a car for 10 miles. Go ahead, son. Go ahead. Ain't nobody coming. Look, that's bad, folks.

This man right here is 75 years old telling you all how to drive in a roundabout. That's right. That's terrible. Well, he did get pulled over for drunk driving the other night. Well, yeah, but I was after. Well, no. When you take that kind of beating, you may be lightheaded. I didn't hear about that.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The cop that pulled him over. The cop that put him over come to our school to train. He said, he said, yeah, I pulled over your uncle's side the day. We thought he was drunk. He was swerving all over the road. Oh, I loved it when he was telling him.

And I said, well, no, he said, you sleepy? I said, no, not really. He said, well, he kind of swerved there. And I said, well, that probably I could have done that. Yeah, that's true. But he wasn't texting. He's just a bad driver. He wasn't drinking.

Hey, I ain't got no phone, so you ain't worried about me texting. Okay, and it won't work for me. Okay. Yeah, that old boy's thinking, boy, I got me one now. Then sigh steps out. Oh, what took me, though. What got me was, he said, I was just with your people. And I said, wait a minute.

who's my people he's the field in case they was in an accident I said oh really okay they all right he's all yeah just you know told the truck up but hey other than that oh turns out that that accident was that was and the accident that never happened one of them huh oh yeah no because he had a curb that's all it was yeah well that's better than that went from a head on collision.

Yeah. Yeah, to avoiding a head-on collision. I just hit a curb. Yeah. I just hit the curb. Oh, it'd be worse than that. It blew a tire.

It blew a tire hitting it. Yeah. Did he? Yeah. Oh, it tore the tire up off on the back. Oh, man. Well, look, we're going to close it out.

Do you have a Bible version? Anybody got one they want to read? Oh, I'll read one. Well, I mean, it's just up to you. I got one right here. Well, go ahead. Well, go ahead. Because it's one that every time I read.

read it, it always makes me think of that those of you that have been to church with sigh, I understand why, but I will sing of your strength in the morning, I will sing of your love for you are my fortress, my refuge, in times of trouble.

And God did not say anything by in tune. Okay, he says make a loud, joyful noise. He just says sing, and look, if you ain't ever been to church with Silas Merritt Robertson, Let me take something right now. You'll know right where he's.

He's not seen. Hey, I'm like James Brown. I'm loud and I'm proud, baby. There you go. All right. We'll see y'all next time right here in a duck call room. We're out.
