Oh, boy, we got a zebra. He can read the computer again. He's back. Uh-oh, here comes Hunter. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Dun, da, da, da, da. I don't know.

Hunter, a girlfriend's changed you. We started. Welcome back. Welcome. Way welcome back. Has there been anything earth-shattering in our media? How would I know? I don't watch it.

I don't watch it. I haven't watched it. You didn't watch March Madness? Well, no, I looked at that a little while ago. Yeah, my bracket is still unbroken. Lies. Hey, they're falling like flies, though. Lies.

Ain't no way you had Oakland over Kentucky. No, but my champion is still alive. Everybody just, hey, didn't know what to do when Kentucky got knocked out. I got to be honest. They got on. I woke up on Thursday, got to work, and at about two, I found out that the tournament, like, games had been played and I didn't know, which is weird for me. Wow, what are you been doing? I guess.

I don't know. Working in a fishing store? Yeah. I mean, working in a fishing store in the spring? He's cleaning that menopit. Yeah, back in the gap when I worked for Willie Roberts, and very hard, mind you, I would be sitting in this room just watching basketball on days like that. Yeah, Champions League soccer or anything that happens in the weird hours of our time, but it's totally normal in Europe. That's what you always want.

Yeah, that was always awesome. But, yeah, I didn't even know it. I didn't feel out of bracket. I didn't know nothing was happening. You happen to go attend the World Table Tennis Championships or Olympic qualifier or whatever it was? Ping pong? Table tennis, sir.

You bite your tongue. What's the difference? Very different. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Oh, you're talking about ping pong, right? I'm talking about table tennis. As we know it, yes, ping pong. There's more rules than table tennis.

Well, I'm just saying. Ping pong is like if you go to Camp, Chioca and play ping pong table tennis is refined. Oh, well, did you go watch? No, I didn't go watch. I mean, we had the Olympic trials here in West Monroe. Si, the greatest table tennis players in our country. In the United States of America all played in a tournament to see who got to go to the Olympics in West Monroe. We've officially made it.

They played here. Yeah, we're going to host who the best was. Super Bowl next. That's not true. I'm pretty sure Doug Dynasty was a little bigger than table tennis Olympic trial. It's the Olympics. But it's cable tennis in the Olympics. I'm just glad we stopped calling it ping pong out of respect for the table. I love everybody taking different things and then just renamed it.

But it's ping pong. As we would affectionately know. If we played it in. It's a little white ball. It's a little light white ball that goes over the net and you hit it with palis. Now, I did check out somebody's. Instagram story who actually went and watched them boys were wild or ladies boys males I don't know who was playing I just know they were nowhere near the table and I was like I'm just

saying hey he said it oh when he said table tennis has it's been refined well those boys what you meant to say is okay is now the talent level has gone off the chart yeah they were playing from like the cheap okay no no I'm saying that I'm saying that where they standing back about 20 feet from it. Yeah. And it ain't done this. Uh-uh. It's wham!

Wham! Wow! Yeah. Yeah, it was wild to watch. It was the little bit of the Instagram story. They are talented. I will give them back. Yeah.

It is crazy to think that the Olympic trials for something was held in West Monroe. I'm not good at it. Yeah. I'm terrible at it. I'm terrible at it. I can't play it. It did finish. They had a live stream, too.

You could have a wide. You've got to have great. Okay. And I mean, hey, great. And I'm, coordination. So who, did the,

list our Olympians? Should we congratulate them? Have you found that article? I mean, we should, but I'm a little slow. I do have a computer again, everybody.

Here we go. He's got it more. There's teams. Oh, no, I don't even know how to read this. See how happy Johnny D. We played a 21.

This is a bracket too. Okay. I believe somebody named Amy. She's going to the Olympics. Amy, Amy Wang. I can't read these now. Yeah.

Oh. It's America? What has happened here? Hey, melting pot, son. Hey, man, I guess. Melting pot. Amy wangs for sure, legit. She wins everything.

Okay, good. All right, Amy, go Amy. We're rooting for Amy. And the guy that we're rooting for, I... While Johnny D. Mr. Jai. We're rooting for you. Knoch Jah.

Oh. I don't know. Speaking of pink ball, though, me and Allison played Sadie and Christian in pickleball this weekend. Pickleball. Turns out, we're not as young or athletic is Sadie and Christian. No.

I don't know if you knew that. You needed a pickle ball match to tell you that. Well, you know. No, we didn't. You don't want the problem is. You ain't playing with a pickle. That's true. But we walked over there.

And I was like, this is not going to be good. And then we thought we had a chance because they played on our court and we kind of. All you got to do with them. We beat Christian, but then once Sadie got involved, we were toast. Well, the problem is, see, what you didn't do and what you always have to do when those two are on a team. They're so competitive. They were.

Just get them fighting with each other. They were too good. And then they just lose it. And you got them. I couldn't quite get them there. I had them on the edge. I just couldn't push them up. You all needed to swap teams one time.

That way you could talk trash to whoever it was. And then put them back on the same team. Here's the deal. They're very athletic humans. And they're younger. I bought Christian's workout plan. Why? Because I wanted to do it.

Because he's like doing it. It's really good stuff. It's training. you and it's a little Debo. And I had to send him a video of myself saying, I appreciate you trying to get me ready to meet Jesus, but I'm not ready yet. Yeah.

Because this is going to send me there. Yeah. Once you land on your head from doing like toes to bars. I was doing kettlebell swings and sit-ups and rowing machine. I was sweating and I was almost dead. I want to see that video. I think I got to see it. I asked you,

I said if you do, if you attempt one tow to bar, I want to see it. Who me? Yes. No, no, I had to change that one. Yeah.

We just sit on the ground and put our fingers to our toes. We can't do it with a bar. Okay. I have increased my hanging ability by 20 seconds. There you go. Wow. That you, big dog. Never very high, but we're getting there.

Operation pull-up is a go. Anyway. So have you ever played pickleball? No, tennis. You ever played tennis? Yeah, I played tennis. Pickle balls way bad. Yeah, we was big.

When I was at tech, we was big in playing tennis. Okay. Were you? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You'd like a... So pickleball kind of, Kind of like cornhole.

What? Like as you get older, you know, you need something to do to remain relatively active. It's not quite as strenuous. Where you can say you're still into sport. Pickle ball a lot like Fubu. For us, by us. It's a big, it's a big overweight guy's sport where they just. What is this?

You play with a tennis ball. Tennis racket. You play with like a wiffle ball. Yeah, and a tennis rucket. Like a tennis racket. Do you have a paddle? Do you have a paddle? Yeah, like a bigger ping pong paddle and a wiffle ball on a smaller tennis.

Has the paddle got holes in it? No holes in the paddle. Oh, it ain't aerodynamic. It ain't aerodynamic. Is it a solid paddle? Yes. Oh, that's not. No, it's wood.

I mean, it could be. Coded with plastic, maybe. It's not a good one. If you're used a wiffle ball, you've got to have holes in the paddle. I don't know. The rules. I don't either. The whistle ball's got holes, right?

Yes. I don't. A wiffle ball has holes. Well, how, you need to have one. I don't know if pickleball does. A pickleball has holes. A pickleball has. It's the most fun I've ever had.

Is it more fun. more fun than Blitzball. Because Blitzball was tight. Blitzball is fun, but that's you and your buddies. Yeah. Me and Allison ain't going to have a lot of fun playing Blitzball together. No. But you all are watching Dick Ball? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Lacrosse? Well, it's a former lacrosse. Yeah. But they've got a little paddle. It's got like a net on it that they hand weave. The ball is a little bigger than a golf ball and a little smaller than a tennis ball. Yeah, so it's their version of lacros. Look, they catch this with this paddle stick.

What it is, it's a stick with a basket on the end of it. Basket stick. Well, look, the thing about that, what is amazing about this is, okay, it's one come all. You got them from, hey, if they can crawl, they can play. And then you got them up in the grandmama and grandpa. Isn't that the way they settled out of their differences, sign? Oh, yeah. They got tired of waried.

They're killing off each other? So some chiefs with some sense finally got together and said, you know, we need to just, you know, settle down a little bit and settle this, you know, on the stickball court with a game. I like it. Donald Trump versus Joe Biden and pickleball for the presidency. Hey, where do you come up? We'll probably die out there while they play.

That's what I'm saying. Then we'll get two new candidates. Yeah. Well, that's true. Hey, we got political. I would watch that 100% more than I would watch any debate. Well, it's going to be like Mike

Tyson fighting Jake Paul, are you kidding me? Brought to you by Draft Kings. Well, I got to go by stickball because I didn't get to punchline. Oh. Okay, when we pulled up to go to this thing, it's Choctaw Nation. You know, look, there was 50 ambulances backed up on the football field

in the end zone. See, pickleball. So, hey, he's not exaggerating this story. This is a combination. This game is a combination of every sport there is and there are no rules. No rules. And no rules.

And no refs. I can clip you, cut your feet out from you. I can blindside you. You know, I can jump on your head and hit you. Well, then what's the difference between that in war?

Well, I don't know. There's a lot of people getting injured, but ain't nobody dying. Ain't nobody dying. They just get maimed. Yeah, they get maimed. Oh, just a little maiming. Yeah, just a little maiming.

I like that idea. I think I'm going with pickleball. I think we should change the board. But I got to say, hey, the greatest fans in the world. Yep. Okay, because look, they come prepared because they all walk in carrying a bushel basket of rotten eggs, rotten fruit. Everything that you can throw it in human beings, they got it in the basket. And they come prepared.

The reason I know this is I'm going to. So if you trash, like if you trash, they throw it at you? Oh, yeah. No, no. If you talk trash, I went on the other side to start talking trash because I was on the team that was winning. So I got, I got hit by rotten eggs, rotten cabbage, rotten apples, oranges, peaches, whatever they could get in the basket. Okay, they had it. And, hey, look, these boys can play some balls.

This is all true. I've heard this story. It's true. It's really true. But I never got to the rotten eggs. You were like laying kiffin' in it. Oh, hey, I'm telling you. They just chunk of stuff.

Come on, you didn't think I'm going to kill them. D batteries flying through the sky. Yeah. It's terrifying. Yeah, I think all. I got hit with a rotten cabbage right here. Is that what's on your shirt right there? Hey, but the funniest thing to.

Side, the funniest thing to me was that you just kept laughing while you're getting hit. Well, I was getting worried for you. I was saying. Who just bust out? laughing when you're getting hit with this stuff. 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 because of our friends over at Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sall Robertson would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Triedales, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things. Grab whatever was left in case you were.

late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from, but with Triedales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. look because I'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 try tails beef I know in size case Christine loves it which is just a she doesn't eat me a big meat age of folks yeah just go to trybeef dot com slash that's try beef dot com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak he did this on his way back home from Pineville after singing this week.

We had several women from Homa. The oldest was 92, and they were all out there, Jason. Homa. Homa. Homa, Luzzi. Homa's not close to Pineville. No, they were at some kind of special event altogether. there. Is this the women that come out like skirts and dance, like the Cajun dancing ladies?

Probably so. Were they wearing white rubber boots? No. Have you seen them other places? Yeah. They were dancing for everybody. It must be because they was all dancers. Yeah.

Everyone. Yeah. And they kept asking, hey, Mark. Do you know this Cajun song? Oh, yeah. Y'all. And he said, I only know a couple of me and my band. You know, she said one and it said, my band, me and my whole band plays it.

The man just shows up. It's like, where's freaking Waldo, man? Like, we need to get you a striped shirt. For the sake of the audience, can you explain who Big Daddy Weave is? What are you going to do if you're a ham? I'm pretty sure our audience is very familiar with Big Daddy Weave. He's going to be nominated for a club. award. What about some people

who sit in the room behind computer desk? I don't know who that is. I would recommend searching him and potentially listening to his music, especially if you're in a young budding relationship. That's right. He's a gospel singer. There you go. There it is. Big Daddy Weave is the American

Contemporary Christian Band from Mobile Alabama formed a 1990 very talented. Okay, he got a very good voice. I like the name. So tell him what what Big Daddy Weave said about John Christ was on the show.

You remember what he said? He was at some event that he was there. And after meeting him, he said, I sure hope you don't say nothing about me being fat. Well, with your name, Big Daddy Weave? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I would like it. He was telling me, he said,

That's how they came up with them. That's how they got their name. Okay. Austin French and Hannah Kerr were there. We were teaching them how to eat crawfish. And guess who was there? Brian Rucker. All right, fellas, y'all listen up.

Everybody get in here. Rucker's one step away from joining the road crew like Big Daddy Weave and Zach Williams. Oh, he'd be a hoot. He'd be a hoot. Hey. I mean, I love him. He's so funny. Like, he can entertain us right?

Rucker one step away from standing outside somebody's door with a security badge. I'm smoking heaters all right. Like, I mean. And his wife. Because he wears a black t-shirt every day anyway. Oh, yeah. His wife, Kaylee,

can eat crawfish faster than anybody I've ever seen in my life. Well, you've got to learn how to survive when you're in a grocery bill with Rucker. Oh, no. You better eat quick. She's from downtown. Hey,

I don't know. Look, she didn't waste none of it. No, she didn't. She busted the claws and everything. Got it all. Oh,

She got that. Skin that score. Hey, and I mean, like you're talking about, yo, I'm looking over and going. That one's gone. Double take. Feel mad. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. So there ain't no leftovers here. Let's take a break. Legitimate question. What's in your fridge? What's in your refrigerator from Quibbidos? Yeah. In Pineville right now.

Fish and shrimp, Boodam balls. Oh, no. And then they brought out some. some cracklings. They had fresh cracklings and they were hot and really good. No, no, you couldn't even tell what they were.

I thought it was, you know, Mark said, I said, what is that? You know, I asked Philip. I said, what is that? He said, I don't know. He says, it's really good, though. And Mark said, hey, it looked like alligator. And I said, I've never,

I have never eaten an alligator than I liked. People keep telling me, hey, you need to get a young one. well hey yo what no no I'm serious they had yo so they had a young one no no I don't know it's too stopped chewy chicken yeah it's like garbonne no no no no no it's got a strong if you brought alligator bites in here I would eat it enjoy it and say chicken would have been better alligator bites definitely need a good sauce and you know me I'm not a sauce guy I'm not against just a straight alligator in other words he's saying it needs something to cover up it needs it needs

It needs a little distracts. It needs a little distracts. Yeah, yeah. Really? In my opinion, yeah. It's just a little chewy. Chewy chicken. It's chewy and it's fishy.

I've never got that. Oh, that's like lobster. I like lobster. But don't overcook it. Well, no, no. Lobster to me is like, oh yeah, it can get rubbery. Yeah.

In a way, it's like a cotton ball. What, lobster? Yeah. Don't let Willie eat them. That's because you cook it as long as you do your steaks. No, no, no. You know how he likes his lobster? Medium plus.

I've had them from restaurants. Okay. They're tough. Man, them lobsters that we called in Key West that time and come back and grilled them things were so good. Well, that's pretty, man, they were doing. Well, when I was up at the goose hunt, they had lobster up there because it's a bunch of cages, you know, and I was enjoying the shrimp so much.

I said, no, hey, somebody gets this, I don't want to. Your favorite seafood, shrimp. Love it. Yeah. I get a bushel basket shrimp. Yeah. I'm right or or you know I don't boil shrimp is the king right he is good they had grilled it up there drill shrimp yeah and the guy knew what he was doing because it was excellent sure where was it

I said, I'm fixing to blow up. Philip, what's your... Where were you at? Huh? Where was that?

He was goose hunting up in Arkansas. Oh, Arkansas. Right on Arkansas, Missouri line. Yeah. I got you. Philip, what's your favorite seafood? I like all of it. You like fried oysters?

Yes. Yeah, amen. Fried orchards are great. Raw oysters are great. I never have cultivated the taste for oysters, raw or fried. Man, I love them. Me too. Any what?

I like fried, grilled. I love a charred oyster. Those are good, too. They're better fried. And I like cocktail sauce so much. You like raw oyster? Oh, no, no, yeah. I'd like you on that.

Cocktail sauce is one of the greatest things. Hey, you can just bring me a bucket of the cocktail sauce and, hey, forget whatever you want. But I can't eat like that bottled cocktail sauce. That's wimpy. You got to triple the horseradish, a little more lemon. When I eat fried shrimp, it opens up my sinuses. And why do you want to ruin a good fried shrimp like that?

Oh, no. No, no. My dad fried shrimp the other night because all them kids from Colorado were in town, my cousins, and boy, was I mad that they were there too because I would have eaten all of them.

Bring me the bucket of sauce and hey, forget everything else. A big spoon to a bucket of salt. What's your opinion on that stuffed crab, Phil? Oh, my goodness. You like him. I can see it because that's like a casserole in a shell.

I bet that's right up, Phil, Sally. Which one is it? Which one is it that you eat the whole thing? How does you know how? That's soft shell crab. Because, hey, we went deep, deep fish

And the guy said, hey, I got a bunch of fresh, you know, soft-shell carrot. I'll say, you want to? I said, no, I don't like crab. You know, and Stone said, hey, yes, we'll take them. So when we come home, he said, hey, come over. I'm cooking that crab. And that was good.

Yeah, and I said, you know, I've ate the king crab, big with the giant ones. Yeah, he's out. With the leg? It's hard to get the meat off of it. He's got a, he's got a stout, stout tape. Well, it's a long way from Alaska to hear. Well, I'm just saying, hey, you know, Alaska. But hey, that soft shell, don't should try there, you know.

Yeah. A lot of them soft shells come. You know, I, you're on top of it. Oh, you can fry him and eat him. Yeah. Yeah, bring me about ten of them. Yeah, that was really good. A soft shell crab, poboy.

Oh, yeah. Really? Oh, man. Yeah, that's right on. Yeah. Yeah, that's right on. Yeah. A soft shell crowd is excellent.

With some cocktail sauce. And you know who loves, yeah. You know who loves halibut cheeks. Going to the buck. Big Al. That's a weird fish. Yeah, halibut cheeks. We ate it in Alaska with Al.

That checks out. It's where the halibut comes from. Hallibate cheeks? Yeah, it's a different kind of meat. It's really good. That's where Al stored is. That's where he stored is. I was letting you.

I said here, Martin. The halibate cheeks are like the filet mignon of a cow. Yeah. That kind of like snack. Snapper throats. Yeah. Like you get you a big snapper and eat the throat off of them. Yeah, that's good too.

What? Man. Yeah. Yeah, them saltwater fish got way more meat than us. Freshwater fish got on it. Like a cropie's got a throat on it. It just has a little piece of meat on about that big. And it ain't hardly worth it.

It's like the wishbone of the chicken. Ooh. Yeah. Is what you could compare it. Yeah. Like a turkey neck? Best joke every Thanksgiving. Yeah.

We'll just leave it at that. Especially with little boys. But. That's like the, It's like the crawfish we were eating. They were trying to get the meat out of the little claws. I was like, rookies. No.

Uh-uh. Way much. Well, crop fish too expensive to eat this year. I ain't had one crawfish. I was a knack for that, though, because, hey, a Rutgers wife. Oh, yeah. You got it down. She does.

Kaylee. Cali, I'll put Kaylee up against anybody eating crawfish. Who cook them, Grant? Yeah. Oh, Grant did it good. I'm ashamed. Grant, that's a mad scientist when it comes. Let's just say it out loud.

he's always adding something different. I'm just telling you right now, that Texan can flat cook some crawfish. The best crawfish cooker we got and the whole duck, buck, all commander family came from Texas. Huntsville, Texas. I kind of want to slide Grant like a hundred spot

and say when's the next one? Yeah, when you're going to cook some more? Yeah, a hundred spot going to feed Britson. I'm not a big fan. This year's been nut. But I'll bring my own sausage. Wait, what sausage is it? Oh, man, that Kineka sausage.

You throw it off. in there. He's a Keneka man. I'm a Keneka purist. Well, let me know when you do it. I'll show up. I'm a rock. Of course you will.

No, you don't, Philip, you ain't got to show up. I'll just bring the leftovers to your house. He'll show up with a warming bag. Hey, I'll buy the shells. I'll just drop the leftovers off at your house.

You know, one job, Philip couldn't have DoorDash. No, he'd eat it all. He'd smash for you ever got there. Everybody's stuff dropped off. He'd ring the doorbell if they didn't answer in five seconds.

He was like, Going home with me. Back in my warming bag. But you wouldn't have to make any investment because you've already got a warming bag. I do have a warming bag. If it all goes to crowd, a garage sale, I bought it about three years ago.

My wife said, you're stupid. I said, hey, I'm going to use this. I said, don't put that thing in my truck, so we had to take my truck. Because he knew he was, he knew what was going to have. I took my truck. You're a proven liability.

But I like a man who's got a, I mean, no matter what happens in life, Uber Eats is always just you can dial that up today and get a job. That's important. With no upfront investment because you've already done it. And good news is you've got enough leftovers to make it a couple weeks while you try back on your feet. The only part of Saturday that I didn't like was when I picked Sire up, we were about five minutes from his dressing being ready to eat. but we had to go because we had to make the show.

I was like, I had to warn my wife and my maid. Do not let that dressing overcook. Take it out. So I was hungry. Hold on. Because I couldn't eat size dressing. Are you making ducking dressing at the end of March?

Yeah. Boy likes dressing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Boy likes wood ducks. Yeah. I can attest to that being a man that killed a bunch of wood ducks for him this year. Yeah.

The man likes his woodies. But that dressing is good. See, I ain't hating because dressing was one of them things we always had at Easter. We got Easter coming. I don't know when they said. What is this here? Thursday, Hunter. So yeah, Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday. Very confusing. And yeah, we would have chicken and dressing for Easter instead of turkey. It ain't got the same flavor. No, it ain't. Duck broth makes better dressing than, you know. Agree. But by this point of the year, we were already all out of ducks.

Yeah. You know, we's poor and then things gone. buddy. Oh yeah. You ate them. It was chicken time. It was a little bit of chicken time. I love chicken.

But that was one of the things we ate for Easter growing up. Easter's a weird one to me. Yeah, now I just kind of eat whatever you want. Like, there's a really strong chance that I'm going to grill Boston butt steaks for Easter. Well, look at you winning. Well, hey, praise Jesus and the pig, buddy.

Well, hi. Arise. Arise. I'm just safe. We were talking about that. Oh. Made the unclean, clean, baby. Who?

We was talking about converting people, and what, the Filipinos? Mm-hmm. They was trying to. Is that Phillips kids? Oh. No, but the reason they couldn't convert them is because, look, they love the pig, and they cook it all different ways. Mm-hmm.

It was the, yeah, it was, they were trying to be converted to a different religion, but they wouldn't give the pigs up. They wouldn't give the pigs up, because they cook them ever way. Roast them, and then put them on the ground. Amen. on palm leaves and all of them or that too. I mean, I don't have any palm leaves, but they're pretty good with oak branches.

Oh, no, no. Hey, I've never had a one I didn't really enjoy. I do, too. Yeah, I've had something wasn't as good as other one, but pig is. But, yeah, East, is there supposed to be Easter dishes, like ham or something? That's what my mom's cooking is.

Deviled eggs is the only thing I can come up with. I love deviled eggs. What are you cooking for Easter? Uh, probably, dressing. See? There it is. Yeah. See?

I don't know what I'm eating. Oh, I can eat some dressing now. And I've got where I cook it really good, so yeah. I don't even know where I'm here. I cook it to, you know, please, me. I know where you're not eating. Y'all gonna have a little. I need to ask Allison.

Y'all going to have a whole deep-fried pork tenderloin over at your dad's house because it's on a Sunday. That's what y'all do. All you oweing together over there on Sunday night. Well, well, we got, I don't know. It's a holiday. you never know. But last night we played pickleball and ate fajitas. Big Dave done figured out a lot of things.

He could work at Waffle House now, couldn't he? He could work at Waffle? With that griddle. Oh. Yeah. I know that's how he cooked the fajitas. Oh, yeah. But he does the suave thing on the steak and just sears that stack.

Oh, so good. I'm trying to lose weight, but if I keep going to my dad's house, I'm not going to. To do SUV, you got to be like semi-retired. Yeah. Because that's a commitment to the cooking process. Well, it's Sunday. That's how he rolls on Sunday. Yeah.

And no kids, he's empty nester. I mean, y'all right across a pond. Until we all show up in full force. Hey, smell it coming. Sire, let me cook you some habaichi, sigh. Let me cook you some habaichi this weekend. I want breakfast for Easter. You've convinced me.

I'm about to text dad, Waffle House. Waffle house breakfast. Easter. Dinner. I love it. Waffles and bacon and syrup and all the little things. We have talked about food this entire episode, except for when we were talking about pickleball,

which is a form of food and sport. Why is it called pickleball? There's a lot of rumors. I don't know. Some people up north made it. I'm sure they were heavyset and didn't like to run a lot, so they said let's shrink tennis, and I agree with them.

But where did pickle come from? Rumor has it, the dog that was on the court, I know way too much about pickleball. It's kind of embarrassing. It's okay. Would go get the ball. And the dog's name was pickle. Oh, I thought they were playing with a pickle, and the dog ate the pickle.

I love a pickle. Hey, look, there ain't nothing better. Sour pickles, deal pickles. All pickles are good. All pickles are good. I like everything. Fried pickles. Fried pickles spears.

Oh, so good. A little ranch dressing. I'm going to put that on the menu with the waffles. That's what he's going to cook up to pickles, boys. Hey, have you ever tried to fry pickles? No. It's a little difficult. Is it?

have you ever tried it? And I like it and when they're not, I guess not. When they're not pickles. I just crack an egg over them. Cracking egg over the pit. Do you do cornmeal or do you flour? Fish fry, yeah. Cornmeal.

I tried flour. That's more difficult. Yeah, flour is always more difficult to fry out. It burns your grease up. Yeah, but I like a good friend. Hey, I like pickles putting in cucumbers. I do too. You know, put them in vinegar.

I just like cucumbers. Cucumbers. Cucumbers. Put them in vinegar. That's the one thing that I find weird about Willie Robert. He hates a cucumber. He hates cucumbers. I'm like,

I don't know. Ooh, I don't know. They don't taste like much of anything. They're just like a watery little melon. Well, they make a good addition to a salad. They're good straight. Oh, buddy. I go,

I grow them in my yard and go pick it, wash it, and eat it just like it sits. With a little Italian dress. It's like to fresh tomatoes off of a plant. Yeah. Thank you a salt and pepper shaker. Go out there and a day.

Which is one of my favorite things about the time of year we're in, It's doing a garden. Hold on. There's squash covered. I love fresh squash. Hey, fried squash. Amen, buddy. Yeah, I used to grow a lot of squash.

I can eat a bush and basket of that. I like it just sauteed down with a sweet onion. I like cucumber. I mean, it's fantastic like that. You know? When my kids were young, we had a huge garden with 100 tomato plants. A hundred. A hundred.

And look, Sire would just walk through and he'd be like, just pick what? just pick like a squirrel mom's got a little cherry tomato plant right outside her front door that she just walk out there

and pick them off of and now she got the boys trained in to go out there and pick it I'm like hey now we're going to teach them not all red berries or that that ain't a good thing

we're going to have to start teaching the difference and what the red berries are because we end up in a bad spot over this deal but no yes she oh my wife bought some tomatoes and they're not the little

little thing like your mom had. Not a little cherry. These were, what, they're called flavor tomatoes and they're about the size of a quarter. A little bit bigger. Yeah, they're kind of like the flavor buster. Oh, good. Great. Get them in the big plastic tub. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. They don't even taste. They don't even taste like tomato. Everything that I really like that the grocery store always runs out, never has it. Everybody likes it. One of them is that flavor flavored tomatoes

the small one. Yeah. I cut up one of them little containers just got in it. It probably got 50 in it. I cut them all up, salt, pepper them down.

Now cook me, you know, put me some dressing on that and then heat it up. You heat up tomatoes? Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. That's an interesting take on

and I never want that route. Cucumber sandwiches are good. He stuck on them cucumbers. You know the cucumber sandwich? Gimber made with the sour cream cream. Oh, with the deal and the green cheese. You know how much I love white bread. He said they were, what do you call it, like wedding shower sandwiches or something?

And I would have got a more wedding showers. It was a sharp cheese on it. Yeah, Gimber made this deal. It's like a cream cheese deal, some kind of spread. Yeah, like a pomellar and cheese. Yeah, but he puts the spread on one side, then he puts the cucumbers on the other and then press them together, white bread. with no crust on them, you know.

Stuff you do at country clubs. Oh, yeah, they're kind of hors d'oeuvres. I don't belong where they serve those, but I do like them. But you could if you wanted to. I told Gimbra, I said, just bring me that salve with some crackers, man. I don't even, don't put it on a sandwich. Good, not living. They kick me out of places that serve food like that.

I want to go to Waffle House. And, Cy, I bet you've never had an omelet, a Mexican omelet from Waffle House. I'm telling you, they cook all the vegetables inside, including tomatoes. It's wonderful. Waffle house is just wonderful anyway. I mean, I know we're on a vegetable health week. What is it, Martin?

He's just thinking about how much of it you took home with you, even though it was an omelet. You know what? You said it was a big one. He took the other half home. And the fact that you went to Waffle House and ordered a Mexican omelet. That's probably what he's like.

Hey, it's not even on the menu. It's so good. And then I have to think of how expensive it is because they clip you for everything you had. Oh, that's 35 cents, 45 cents. $0.15 cents. Well, they're long enough. And in fairness, look, as a lifelong proprietor of the Waffle House,

amen. That omelet sits with you if you eat him. He's there with you all day. Oh, it's heavy. Whatever that, whatever they used to whip them eggs together in that milkshake machine that they used to do that. Yeah. You know what?

Whatever that is, whatever that process does, that baby sits. heavy on you. What just happened? I said, well, an omelet just hit bottom. Yeah. I'm trying to decide. I've eaten at Waffle House, what have we decided? Like, over 500 times in my life? I don't know. So it's

somewhere around that number. Yeah. Good grief. Yeah. They cook a mean BLT. And I've never had an omel or a BLT from Oh, no. Yes. You know what I get there? A waffle sandwich. Waffles. They're delicious. All-star breakfast. Are you an all-star guy?

All-star. Get rid of them grits smothered covered oh by the way hash browns double scattered smothered covered bacon

eggs over medium I got a confession a fan of ours sent us a bunch of stuff from North Carolina it was when we were in our off time it was with that booedan isn't it

no that boot ad in a refrigerator he brought some up here too oh that's right let me get my bay but no I so I've got like if you still want to stay on tournament time there's a bunch of North Carolina and Duke shirts in my office

NC State even. So they sent everybody from the whole state to North Carolina, but they sent a very... There's something that's gone. That's what... He's giving us all the things that we can go have. I'm not necessarily into. Something's here, and it's no longer with it.

Yeah, they're in my refrigerator. So they sent me some North Carolina stone ground grits. I'm good. But I love grits. Oh, great. Oh, man. Fresh stone ground, okay. You have, once you open it.

And there is. is a difference. Once you have, once you open it, you have to keep it in the refrigerator because there are zero preservatives in it. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. I opened it and I was like, man, I ain't cooked fresh grits. And since I was a kid, like, that's one thing my grandma always cooked when I spent night with her, we have for breakfast. So I got them out the other night to make them for the boys thinking maybe grits are genetic, you know, and, and I cooked them. Of course, boys didn't eat them. They stuck their hands in them, run them all over their face, made a mess. So I went in there, I just took a spoon, and I went like straight back to my childhood,

and I have eight grits every other day. You can't get all the grits guy. Oh, I love it. I'm a potato man. Are you an oatmeal guy? Not really. Okay, good. I'm going to eat grits now as soon as I get the chance.

Oh, no, if you ever get the chance to eat. I've got some leftovers. Yeah. Fresh ground, I'm telling you. Oh, they're good. You got you good there. I mean, they said, I have eaten grits. I just haven't eaten them lately.

They sent white ones and yellow ones. Both of them are fantastic. But it's so good. Anyway. Inbox? Yeah, let's get in that inbox. What's in there? Well, sometimes one catches my crazy sigh story, proven by science.

Uh-oh. Oh, what could it be? Si, you've been proven correct. Matthew from Wisconsin, huge fan of the podcast. He's always heard the story about Sai getting drunk on Coke. Oh, yeah, sugar, sugar high. you call it drunk sir well hey it's a sugar eye though it's what it is and he always thought it was exaggerated recently if you stay awake too long sleep deprivation affects your brain the

same way alcohol does so if si stayed up on a caffeine mountain dew coke rush yep for that long that is equivalent well he says 24 hours is equivalent to have a blood alcohol level of 0.08 which is the legal limit to drive. So you were wasted, man. Oh, no. I'd like to know what mine was in the first three months of them twin. You drank a lot of coke? No, but sleep deprivation.

I mean, I had to be bumping along at about a point three. How many, how many days is it now without a duck pepper? The end of duck season, whenever lasted. Hey, did you drink a whole case right now? Buddy, could I? Oh, boy. That's rude. Buddy.

Could I. You know, after that, you brought a, I never drank a Coke? I'm there guarantee you for two years after I got... Well, you were up for 54 hours, and you got drunk off a Coke. Hey, kids do not try this. I feel the same way about whiskey. I don't drink that stuff anymore. Hold on there.

I had some bad experiences. Hey, you get drunk and drink. Hey, that's what overindulgence in anything does. Yeah, you get off that quick. Yeah. Whatever that was, you'll get off of it. I'm telling you. Carbonated sodas.

Too much Captain D's never touched. Oh, no. Look, I didn't drink a Coke. I'm telling you, I didn't drink a Coke for, like, three years after that. Captain D's has a really good cheese stick. I actually felt weird, okay, for like three months afterwards. Three months?

Yeah, I'm serious. Now, that's a hangover. Oh, no. Hey, I did. I'm serious. I don't know if it was just the stress of going to college or the whole-the-coke and spats. So do you act like you went to school for three months. Well, I did.

You went like two weeks of the semester you were there. Oh, hey, look. He was there three months. He only went to class. But it was so stressful over it. Yeah. He had to start drinking soda pops Nonstop couldn't get off of them

I'd be like Forrest Gump with him Dr. Pepper I mean There's one after that That's one right after Oh I drive after After Pepper When I was young

And so good That burn They would They would bring the case down there At the house And hey You could You could

You could be gone Gets you some Dr. Pepper Zeros What about Pepsi? Epis No that's like a Pepsi is the worst Drink in the world

The worst Amen Man, buddy. Wait a minute. I'm serious. It's teaming up. It's garbage. You made a flat coat.

No, no. You hadn't had a good Pepsi. I don't know what they do to it. You are correct. They leave something out. I have not had a good Pepsi. Yeah, they leave out the good part. Oh, you pop it open in like a Coke.

You know, it's got, it's got a little kick. Hey, you know, you pop a Pepsi. Pse. Something about 30% of our fans. Then you taste it. Okay. Probably. It's like it's like it's been open for a.

month. Ugh. I think Pepsi honestly is just expired Coke and they re-bottle it and sell it to Pepsi. No. Pepsi is good,

Pepsi is garbage. This coming from a very discerning palette. Thank you. Thank you. It goes great in a warming bag. Anyway. It ain't no better cold.

Maybe hot's more we're screwing up. I like Dr. Pepper too. Speaking of weird food, Henry from Manitoba, Canada. On the Nileana. Steinbeck, is Manitoba like a state? I don't know.

Canada's so confusing. We're all the doctor. He heard our story about us having traffic directed for the Dairy Queen. Where he's at, somebody called 911 because the drive-through at the new Burger King wasn't moving fast enough. I don't know where Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada. Does 911 mean the same thing in Canada as it does here? I believe so. 9-1-1?

This is Philip. What's your emergency? What's your emergency? I'm starving. I need a whopper. I need a whopper and there's 40 cars in front of me. No Pepsi. Speaking of bad Burger King.

And so I want to go to John 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Through Him, all things were made, and that word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. And he lived, and he died, and he was God in the flesh, and still is, never had any deceit, no sin found in him. And he was crucified for our sins. He raised from the grave. He's mediating at the right hand of the Father. this is everything that holds all the Old Testament, all the New Testament together. This is what Jesus did for you

and what He's done for us and makes us all brothers and Christians and a member of the family of God. So remember what Jesus has done for you during this season. Amen. We fulfilled all the prophecies. Praise God for an empty tune. That's right, buddy. That's it.

Amen. All right. We'll see y'all next time. Is it over already? We're out. Yeah.
