Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We have a pair of special guests with us today. They're not sitting together, so I don't know if there's a spat going on, but we have Jeff and Jessica. Oh, now they're sending hearts across the room. Okay. All right. I see you. That's good.

But welcome, welcome, fam. Thank you. Thank you. We didn't want to take anybody's seats, so we just thought, we're fine. We've been married long enough. We're good. Nobody will miss it if you do. Yeah.

In fairness, you probably win on that exchange because she's sitting where Johnny D. sits every day. Good luck with that. And he's a sweat hog. How are all the children? They're well. They're good. We just got back from Abilene, Texas, visiting our two college kids. Wow.

So, yeah, just moving them into their little new pad. And, yeah, they're fixing to be living separate. It'll be the first time Lily and her husband have their own place to themselves. So Merritt's supposed to move into a garage apartment over on. So they'll have the whole house to themselves. I'm sure it's going to feel amazing. And then Merritt's getting married in just a few months. June.

So then are they going to move back in together? No. No. Merritt and Tyler will live at the garage apartment. It's a two. It is a compound, but separate. Yeah. It's one block from school.

They literally can walk to school. It's amazing. Ah. And your youngest daughter, Priscilla. Priscilla. She's doing good. She's homeschooling now. She's a junior.

But yeah, she'll be homeschool until she graduates next year. But she's doing awesome. Me and Silla watch Evil Lives here. Have you ever seen that show? It's actually really creepy. It's scary. And it's sad. I mean, so there's a lot of them.

But she loves it, and I kind of like it, too. She just hates it. We watch it every night. It's depressing. all it is is murder. Oh, is it true crime? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I was like, you can't watch that all the time. It affects your heart. Like your mind. Priscilla went to bed scared one night this week and she was so terrified. She was like,

I got all my stuff to animals. I was like, you should have just come in my room. Yeah, that's wild. Brittany watches that too and then she's like, well, what if that happens to the boys? I'm like, you would have never even thought about this

had you not watched this. So why do you watch? I like to smile and laugh. I'm more of a comedy type of. I want to feel good when I'm watching TV. I'll just slap on Seinfeld or something. Y'all over there watching about how this person got cut up in 17 pieces and why it took them two years to figure out who was doing it.

But I think it's like kind of trying to find out through the people that know them the best, like why they did what they did. I mean, that's what the show is like, what happened here? Because they're crazy. I mean, I think a lot of it. But a lot of it is evil. I mean, it's kind of scary. That's insane. I'm already scared enough and worry so much about the kids. Why do I want to put that in my head? I can't. So I'm in the other room and I started watching a good old show called Northern Exposure.

Which I did watch when I was, do. Do you remember that show from the 90s? I do. It was actually a pretty good show. That's what I'm watching in the other little room. Oh, man. Unbelievable. Well, that's good. No, y'all do. Y'all are celebrating the second marriage coming up in your family. But you should have a break, hopefully. after that. I mean, like, River's not going to run off and get a year.

No, and Priscilla either, hopefully. Our bank account needs a break. I see weddings and two summers. You know what I'm saying? Just be real.

Y'all just waiting on the youngest ones now. Get to the boys. Get to the boys. Get to the boys. How's Big Gus? Oh, gosh. Dude,

he is such an awesome athlete. We have so enjoyed. So we put him in basketball. His first year, dude, he's so good. Like, it's so fun to watch.

And he gets it. I mean, like, he'll watch some on TV, and then he's, he'll, then we'll get out and practice. And he's like, yeah, I'm going to put a spin move on him tonight, Dad. And he rarely does that. But what he does, awesome, he's like a young Dennis Rodman kind of rebounds, block shots. Dude. Oh, he down in there getting dirty.

Yeah. Yeah. You taught him how trash talk yet? No. No. He's a gentle giant. He's never fouled anybody. Like, he's very gentle.

Like, he will not. He doesn't want any contact. Well, you do me a favor. Tell him when you get home. He's got five fouls. Use at least four of them a game. Good night. That's what you got them for.

He's not a physical. Oh, man. Well, you just need him play one game with Willie. Then he'll get physical and he'll learn how to trash talk. We have. We've been watching Christian play. That Wassman Carroll game, if people don't know, it's the best two high school teams, I think, here in North Louisiana.

It was the most awesome game at ULM, went to overtime. Christian scored 35 points. It was incredible. They won, too. It was awesome. Wow. He's in the playoffs now. So Gus loved that.

I mean, he was like, oh my God, Dad, he dunked, Christian dunked. I'm like, yay, dunked. It's been fine. He asked you if you dunk. Yeah. No. We have to lower the goal. Eight foot goal.

Yeah, I can do that. Yeah. He's doing good. Grandma, jamma. What about River? What's the little Rio up to you? Rivers playing golf. He had his first tournament yesterday.

He played like really well. It was it yesterday or day before yours? Tuesday. Tuesday. Or yeah, I guess time doesn't matter on podcast. No. Anyway, he hit the ball really well. It was super windy that day.

And he, but he still played good, hit some good shots. And then on his first part of five, he got up there and he chilly dipped it. And I was like, You can't say anything. Yeah. Like as a parent, you just watch and can't say anything.

He's kind of shook his head and he got a pair. Well, did it again. I was like, oh, my gosh, here we go. It took him four tries, but he did get it on the green. But you can only double what par is. So he took a 10, but oh, my gosh, I thought, oh, that's it. He's like, he's not going to play good the rest of the time. But he actually picked himself up and played good the rest of the time.

So I enjoy watching him. I wish I would have done that when I was in junior. He's just now learning the game. I mean, then we have like our Louisiana winters where it's wet and you can't get out and do anything. So even though he can't go over to Willie Wood and chip around and put around, but now that's springtime, hopefully. I don't know if y'all watch Duck Dynasty or not, but Sae gave him instructional tips on golfing now. Si.

Just don't believe I can do it, but I can't give him tips on things not to do. Yeah, okay. You can do that. Do not chili dip it. I don't even know what that means. It means you hit it a little fat and goes about four feet. You are not at the table. Yeah.

Do not chilly. It happened. I mean, you're going to do it. To do it several times in a row, that's when it's like, oh, please. Yeah. When I was playing, that meant that last one went about 10 yards over the ground because I just scold the snot out of it. I said, I ain't doing that again. Waping that, yeah, that's a bad deal.

But difference is he had to actually write down a score. I just pick it up, put it in my pocket, call it good. So there you go. So staying busy then. That's good. Oh, goodness, yes. That's good. What, any new animals at the Jeff and Jessica farm?

No. Not at ours, but we have grandbaby fur babies. Grandbaby fur babies. Yeah. So Lily and Austin have two dogs and two cats inside. Oh, wow. And they just adopted a rescue Great Dane. Yeah.

That's their. That thing's got to be bigger than Lily. It's huge. Yeah. Yes, it is. They named her, which I. I thought was really cool. B.B.

which stands for Big Bertha. Big Bertha. She's actually a super sweet dog. I had a great day when I was younger. And she reminds me a lot of her. She's very skittish. She, you would think, oh, my gosh,

the dogs won't kill me. And then you just go toward her. And she's like, oh, yeah. She's real sweet. Yeah. But I'm like, enough is enough. You got four animals in a little house.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, that's why Merritt moved out. Oh, Merritt can't stand to have animals. I don't like it. It's not that she doesn't like them. She wants like no, like hair, like no dog hair. Like, well, we have two poodles. Well, they don't shed.

Mm-hmm. So we have, you know, we have the cats that do. But that Rumba saves my life. But no, for them, that's the thing is they're in college too. So they're not necessarily clean freaks, you know, at this age. So. I still ain't got there yet. Mm-hmm.

What about you? No. But you're married to one? She has taught me how to. clean over the years. I would think I'm better. I'm a lot better. I wash a lot of clothes.

You did. I didn't. Yeah, that was a cleaning freak. Yeah. Yeah, that's when I was smoked. A lot of cigarette and ash would be there and I'd put it in ashtray, flip it an ashtray, and she'd take it and go wash it and bring it back.

Yeah. After just one time? Just, yeah. Every time I did it. Huh. Yeah, well, nobody goes back to her house. So finally she asked mama one time, said, Mary, I got a question asking you.

I want you to be truthful with me. She said, what am I doing wrong? People don't like to come into my home. Mama said, you're a cleaning freak, and you just irritate the crap out of everybody. Yeah. So she stopped it, and then she went, from being a cleaning freak to just...

A slob? Yeah, the heck with it. Total sloaf. Yeah. Can't do you care how it looks She just embraces genetics Oh yeah Yeah

She turned She flip She flip big time There you go That's that You come in and hey You know You spill something

Oh don't worry about it We'll get it later All right look Springtime is here It's warming up You know what that means That means More outside cook

And y'all know We love to eat beef Around here And that's what Because of our friends Over at Tritels beef Make such a good Product

Ain't it good It's so good Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.

Tritels 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 cats. the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire. That's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living,

you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat either, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. How didn't cats ever catch on? I don't.

I actually really like honey. I love, she gets up next to me every day and she purrs. I mean, I really like her. But we shave her. Once we do like a spring cleaning shake because she's a Persian. So she gets really thick. And so we'll do that once a year for her. She loves it.

Yeah. She, yeah. But then the other cat doesn't shed as much. It's just a different type of... Cats are weird. Cats are amazing. I'm serious. I was hoping that's where we'd get to.

No, no, they really are. They're weird because they're so lovable. But they're so dangerous, too, though. They like you. Well, no, they just... You know, you never know what's going to, you know, one minute you'll be petting them, you know, and then it bites you.

Yeah, that's true. Is that what Sweet Pea does? Yeah, he just, you'll be petting him, you know, and all of a sudden, golly, crazy, Russell. What's wrong with you? Sweet Pea, all they got to do is make one quick stepo, and he's away from him. Yeah, he ain't got to get too far. No, I laughed.

We just played poker at the other night, and somebody left the screen door open, and he went out and I said, hey, generally pick him up and bring him in. Well, his girlfriend was out there, you know. So when the dude grabbed him, Oh, God. Oh, good grief. Oh, God. I laughed.

I said, hey, leave it. I'm not to put, get in, big in back in here. He can come on back in. He obeys you? Uh-huh. Does he obey you? Oh, yeah. He's normally, unless he's just in one of his mood.

Now, if one of it didn't move, he doesn't be that way. Y'all and I said, hey, I'll slap you, slam across the room, son. His, me. But, Cy, he's an old lover. He can't get mad if his girlfriend's, I say. So I can't get, so I can't blame me. I understand. Well, the next cat I get is going to be a main coon.

And they get a main coon. Have you seen them? No. They get as big as a dog. They're huge. It looks like a fox. They got the giant rabbits. Huh?

Rabbit you can buy. What? I mean, I'm talking about, look, they get half the wood to this table. All the time to not have a computer. Hunter, what are you doing? I need you to look up Maine Coon and giant rabbit. Not giant rabbits. We don't care about that.

Mankoons are amazing. They're beautiful. Oh, they're big. You're a giant. Huge. It looks like a stupid rabbit. Huge. Is he like a raccoon?

Looks like a link, I would say. It's a giant. Oh, he's like a bobcat. No, he's big as a bobcat. Okay. But they're friendly. They're like super, super sweet. Yeah.

Yeah. Yes. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's like you stupid. No, no, that's like his stupid. Are they beautiful? No, no, no, it's just like, hey, hey, you can look at that cat. That cat will hurt you.

That must be the descendant of the cat off of, like, Alice in Wonderland or whatever. I see him? I like the black and gray, so weird. I love that. I'm telling me, that cat hurts you. No, they're really sweet. You know, they're sweet. I'm getting one.

Yeah, he's sweet until he eats you. Hey, that thanks for the Tiger family. Yeah, grab you by the back of the neck and tow you off somewhere. Jackie, oh. Moscow, Maine, Koon, Texas, catarie. So this is a big business if you got them. I mean, yeah, I'm sure they're not. I'm telling you, them cats and rabbits have got together because they look a lot of like.

A cat and a rabbit. I'm telling you, because I, the only time they get together is for dinner. I know, I'm telling you, you need to look them up on serious. Google or Alice. One of the last one or last one, right. Look, the best thing was I watched the show one night on television, and it was, and it It was them giant rabbits, premier, you know, they all from all over the world. It's a big deal.

You know, it's big money in them. And giant rabbit. Yeah. And they had the, you know, what's like the dog show, you know, champion dog. Well, they have that for that stupid rabbit, that big giant rabbit. No. Oh, no. Yes, no.

I'm serious. They walk in a rabbit on like a leash. I don't believe that. No. Hey, these things are drop-dead gorgeous. because they're so huge. And look, they look just like them. They got a lot of fur.

And, hey, their ears are like an old Tennessee hound dog. Like floppy? Yeah. I mean, big. Big old. That's him? Yeah. That's the ones they use in the Cadbury commercials.

Oh, no, no. We've been lied to our whole lot. Do you eat those kind of rod? Some of this thing weigh 100 pounds, I'm telling you. It's wild. No, use your inside voice. Hey, nice tan. No, hey, y'all just.

Play some music, something. Hey, okay. You want my chair? You can have it. He grew his hair back out. It looks better. It looks better. What's wild is he actually knows where the office is now.

I mean, he's been up here like three times at a month. It's crazy. I'm starting to worry about my job at this point. I wish the dog had stood up when they took that picture and the rabbit stood up. I think we need a rabbit to you in our garden. We got enough animals. Oh, no. Hey, you get one of these guys.

I would like it. Is your beehive still functioning? Yeah. Yeah. Still got the bee. You still collected honey? Yeah. Yeah.

I just did a few months. Chicken. Got chickens. Eggs? What else? Yeah, they got eggs. That's it. What else?

Goats. No. No. Oh, that's what y'all. That's how we have. Get you a goat. And then have goat milk and goat products. I do not like goat products.

He doesn't like that. It's not a fan. Really? Not a fan. I had some and I went to Ethiopia and I was like Everybody else was eating Oh, so good.

So for you a cow, much higher than a goat. Yeah. Okay. I would agree. Yeah. I ain't ever had it. And I don't like the cheese. You never have goat cheese?

I just don't get it. No, I stay away from it. Everything, the milk, the cheese, all that is stout. Yeah, I don't like strong. If you like real strong flavors, yeah. I like blue cheese. just, I mean, strong

strong things. Yeah. Yeah. Well, y'all know my less than affinity to horse radish, so you know, strong flavors ain't really my bang-thong. You don't try it. No, I stay away from. And all them funky cheeses, you can smell like 10 feet away. I like some funky cheese. Yeah, I don't mind some. No, no, very basic, pepper jag.

Like, I'm not very experimental. I'm not a big, what, you know, I don't like to go straight far from, stuff that I know is good to eat. Yeah, steaks, hamburgies, corn dogs. I'm not an adventurous. I'm not an adventurous food person. Hey, look, we got Sonic supporters on this side of the room.

Hey, I just, I like it simple. Jesse, Jesse, eat a chili cheese tight from Sonic in a heart. Yes, I will. That's my go-toe, corn dog, chili cheese tot every time I go. Is that your comfort meal? Like, you just had a bad day, you just go get you. No, it's just, I've had a good day, bad day. whatever. I'm in a hurry. It's easy. I love it. I can appreciate that.

Unbelievable. Oh, man. Well, look, we've done flowing through two sections. Let's take a break and we'll be back right after this. All right. We're back. So, Jess, look, I'm a fan of entrepreneurs. I saw you've been posting about your new box that's coming out. What, uh, you want to, I don't know that we've ever talked about that the couple of times we've had y'all on here. So tell our fans about the Genuine by Jess collection. Yes. So it is a quarterly subscription box. And I basically just find brands that either have like give back missions, women-owned companies, small family-owned companies.

And then I find brands that, you know, kind of align with what I like. And each quarter I do a different box. And it's like home decor. It could be spa items. There's usually a jewelry collection in it. So yeah, it actually just launched, but it actually sold out already. Oh, really? That's good.

Yeah. So I'm so excited. We just, I just got through boxing all the boxes and I'll be shipping them out. That's cool. No, just a way to give back to small business, which, you know. There's a lot of people that think Duck Commander's a big business. We're not. So we're very much still a small business.

Yeah. You know, less than 30 employees and all the, check all the boxes. So just a cool way to give back. And I didn't know, I didn't think we had talked about it on here before. So just wanted to give our fans a quick peek into what it is on if they're interested in how they can support small businesses too. You got to look on your face. Oh, man. What's you, what you're siphering on?

You still stuck on them rabbit? I'm thinking about, she was saying, you know, do you do, just look into like some makeup sometime? I do a little bit of like makeup, like makeup, some can be makeup. It just, you know, years ago, I think I've been doing it for four years now and like three and a half, four years. And, you know, I could go and make my own brand and do something, put my name on it. But I was like, okay, God built my platform, my social media. So I was like, what am I going to use it for? And it was just a way that I could do something I want to do, but also shed light on other companies and other brands that have these great give back missions.

Like some have great charities, some house like women going through hard time. or, you know, so I don't know, it just was something I could do. And I've been doing it for four years now and I really like it. I mean, it's a small business too. But, you know, I do it all in house. I literally assemble every box. I fill every box. I print my labels by myself. And so it's something that I have my hands fully on. And it's not something that I'm just like making a buck on by somebody else running it. Something I really love to do. And normally I help her. And I would have this year. but I'll tell y'all something that you should never do and I just started doing it uh-oh so I've recently made a new friend and I talk about him all the time just like oh my gosh you're so obsessed in this guy but he's really cool

he was a Navy seal which in my eyes that's like my heroes it's like those dudes because I'm like I could never do that they are they are elite warrior yeah and he's recently removed he's only been out like a year and a half I think and um I was I go to church with him and we just talking. I said, man, I just need to get in shape.

I just mentioned that. And so we went to a Bible study just this past week. And he said, all right, you ready? And I was like, ready for what? He was like, you want to get in shape? I was like, why did I ever say that in front of this guy? And I have been working out with him. And I have never been this sore in my entire life.

I've never seen anybody they can do what this guy does. That nervous talk, get all of us. Yeah, man, you know, I need to start working out sometime in the next decade. Yeah. And then when he says, do it, I'm just like, oh, my gosh. Then you can't let him down. That's right. Yeah.

You know, this guy can get me in headlock. Yeah. This guy sounds like one that I had met that I was on something, you know, and he was on the same event. Did he whoop you in the shape? No, I didn't dare bring up that I need to get in shape. So now, you know, like Jeff said, you know, they're a hero of mine. Yeah. Okay.

Black Ops, Navy Seals, they are elite warriors, and hey, they are good at what they do. But this guy was, he was fixed to retire. You know, he's about your size. Okay. Most people don't realize, you don't ain't got to be a giant to be a giant. Okay. And most of the guys that are in that, they're giants. Okay.

In the word, you know, not by size, just by what they do. but he went from he said well i've been a navy seal you know teams whatever he said now i'm fixing to retire and i'm going to become god seal yep yeah yeah this guy the same way yeah his name is dan i call him danimal um not to be confused with dan the butler no different now this guy is big he looks like he's a tall he's all tatted up he looks mean the nicest guy you ever met he's actually in seminary online seminary so yeah he loves the lord so he's cool dude so what's he got you do why you so it's like um it is cross fit type stuff yeah yeah yeah i would say yeah yeah all the sports

you can come up with it's a little bit of all them combined into a workout that you know yeah it's the worst parts of all of them all put together yeah yeah yeah so the last one we did he was so it hurts to wipe right now oh my gosh every everything is sore my I can't help you there, buddy. Yeah, that's a bad deal. He was like, oh, we're doing these weight stuff. He's obviously doing much more, and with like a barbell. I'm doing like dumbbell stuff.

Yeah. I'm doing the same things just at a very. Yeah, hammond and five. Yes. And so I'm like, oh, yeah. That means it two and a half. We got 30 minutes. I'm like, oh, my gosh, this was, and I told him,

and this was bad mistake. I was like, this was hard, but, you know, it was kind of fun. He's like, yeah, okay. All right, next thing we're going to do. Oh, we're not done. We're going to get on this assault bike, which, you know, you've seen that bike where they, you know, you see them on the NFL sidelines where they're just kind of warming up. Yeah. Well, also with that bike, you can go super hard and it be the most hard thing you've ever done.

Like your legs just burn like crazy. Doing that mixed with like jumping squats. By the end of it, man, I was laid over there for 15 minutes and he was like, man, you're going to make it? And I was like, I don't know. Give me another five minutes. Let me figure it out. So hard. But I feel good.

I mean, I haven't worked this hard out this hard in a long time. So I think he's driving Jessica crazy because when I get home, I'm just like, oh, because we've been doing it. That's all you do. I can't just be able.

Look, he's like, I can't do anything else. I'm hurting so bad. I'm like, well, no, no,

once you do one of them workout, right, this time, just, hey, leave me alone. Let me try to recuperate. Yeah,

I'm still trying to catch my breath. Yeah. Yeah, I'm still trying to learn to breathe again. Yeah. No, this is like at 6 o'clock, and he went that morning at like 8 or 9. I'm talking about at 5 or 6. He's still on the couch.

Like, I can't do anything else. I can't do anything. I'm like, I said, just give me a few weeks. Yeah, I mean, did not. Have you seen me try to use a bathroom late? Yeah. I mean, that's a 30-minute process. I guess I never did push myself far enough, okay?

You don't say. Well, no, no, because, hey, the program, okay, the fitness program of the Army never worked with me. Okay, because ever, you know, you would figure, okay, what do you do? You run five miles a day for five days. You get two days off and then you do it again.

And you do this for 20 years. Well, I never got to the point that I could do it. And what you... You don't reckon them. You don't reckon them Sagerts had nothing to do with that? Well, cigarettes probably had a little bit. But I'm running five miles. a day.

I don't understand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm just saying if you do something that much, you know, you should get in some kind of form of shape. Yeah. Okay.

No, it didn't happen. Okay. It always killed me when I did it. So I just said, hey, y'all need to change programs. You know, how about let's do it once a week, okay? Yeah, that'll help. You know, see if that'll help. Yeah, let's do it less.

Well, then I'll get better at it. I said, Dan, what do you eat? He said, uh, eggs and oatmeal. I was like, yeah, but I mean, what else? He was like, no, that's what I eat. Yeah, that's it. But for a snack, now he does eat raw chicken livers. And I thought, for a snack, you eat raw chicken livers.

I don't know if you can eat raw. That's what he eats. He freezes them and he eats them. Hey, that's just for your head. Are you sure not cook them? No, raw chicken livers. Martin, I don't like, can you get sick off that? I like chicken hearts.

I'm saying, but I like on fried and dipped in ketchup. Look at here. Johnny D. Johnny Dee's in the house on the side. I'm back on talking about that chicken organ meat, and he's over there just, he's turning green. Gross. I draw the line at raw.

We had to, yeah, and I see, I love a fried chicken. I do too. I mean, fried, but that's his snack. I don't think. Does he cook his eggs? He keeps his eggs. Oh, okay. I just didn't know where he drew the line on raw chicken.

A lot of people, a lot of people eat them raw. Yeah. That's why he's befriending me. He's going to start charging you in eggs for the workout. I'm talking about it, crack it and talk about, Yeah, no. Knowing this guy, he probably does that too. No, no.

Well, that's probably, I mean, if you think about it, some of the stuff he's probably seen and being in a raw chicken liver would have been a good thing to have at some point. He'd probably be like, you'd have probably ate just about anything. Yeah. I know he's eating MREs. I can tell you that. Well, and anything else that if it comes to it, if it's edible, he's ate it.

Yeah. Trust me. Even if it wasn't edible, he's tried it. Well, hey. Because he was hungry. Yeah. He needed something to eat. Unbelievable.

Man, what a life. So what's next? But you are a guy who you'll do this. You'll get in shape. You'll be healthy for like a year. And then I'll see you again and you'll be wearing suspenders because the bridgey won't stay up. I mean, that's just, that's been your MO since I've known you. I'm an all or nothing.

I don't know why I like this. I wish I wouldn't. I wish I was like her and was balanced. I just can't do it. I can't do it. I did some all in or I'm not. I mean, that's got to be something genetic because your brother will try a fad diet faster than anybody. I mean, Willie now told me the other day his new health kick is deer sausage only.

And I'm like, well, that'd be cool if it was all deer. Yeah, it's like half pork. Yeah, so mixture here. Yeah, he's like, well, I just eat a package a day and that's all I eat. A pound, a pound of deer sausage. I can't do that. She can't go extreme meat, stuff like that. That's what he's on right now.

Well, here's the thing about that. What the man said, okay, it's very healthy. Okay, because Jay Stone lost, what, went from 235. Oh, on keto. And he went, and mainly what he ate. Mainly what he ate was oatmeal every morning. Now, I got, he got me on it for a while. And you bail.

Then I bail. This, I said, no. He said, I'm 74 and I need my ice cream. Well, no, no. Finally, I just said, you know, table all of it. I ain't got but a few years left. I'm going to eat what I want to, what I want to. I'm going to quit pedaling this cube.

I'm going to quit working out, and I'm going to eat my ice cream. Well, no, I'm going to start that back. Oh, spring cleaning, huh? I am going to start that back. Speaking of, so I need to tell you, I have found the most awesome ice cream snack. Uh-oh. Oh, I have, too. It's called a vanilla bar.

No. Coated with chocolate. No, this is actually kind of a healthier. Oh, this is healthy too. I mean, not. I don't know. I love it. What's it called just?

I don't know. Yeah, no. Oh, the dream sickle. No, no. Oh, that's what I like. No, the one I eat at night that, that Lily. I don't get that. You eat those.

They're fruit covered in something. Oh, I need a dream interpreter. What? Oh, mochi. Mochi. He loves mooch. Oh, no. Hey, I need a dream interpreter.

I don't need a dream interpreter. I don't need a dream interpreter. I was like, I'm confused. Mochi. It's like a rice thing on the outside. Have you ever had that mocha? It's almost like fondant on that. Wait, if this is ice cream?

Was it got rice in it? No. No, Jeff, don't. Maybe I'm kind of confusing. Yeah, mochi. You may have to look to help. It's basically ice cream with almost like a fondant around it. So you can eat, like, pick it up and eat it.

Yeah. I don't like it. It's really good. It's really good. It's my favorite thing. I don't go with my vondent. vanilla with chocolate. So I said, I don't know what y'all talking about.

He said my ice cream got a sticky. Hey, that's right, boy. Hey, I like that too. Yeah. Try to stay away from me. Well, anyway, well, let's take another break. I'm going to let Johnny D pop in here since he's here. And, yeah, we'll finish this out.

All right, we're back. We're back. Well, they're new, new person here. New person. Okay. Staying back. As the, well, I just, I was so excited of y'all going to be here today because I have so many questions living across the pond from y'all.

Oh, way. Yeah, well, I always felt like when you have a problem with your neighbor, you don't discuss it with him. You wait till you get 100,000 people in. I like it. Just ask you up the questions then. Oh, no, it's 100%. So the other night, it was like a month ago. And I don't know if y'all know how well sound travels from y'all's house to our house. No.

It's impressive. Yeah. Water. Water. Rott row. Yeah. Ro Ro Ro. So I'm laying in bed and I just keep hearing this clink.

noise. It's at like 10.30 at night. And I get up, I look through my whole house and my underwear. Something's broken in my house and something's going to explode. And then it would stop for a minute and then here it comes back. Just a little clinking sound. The bell doesn't do it justice. And then I finally go out to my back porch and do you off to play disc golf at 10.30 at high it? I think that time was, didn't we have There was a lot of people at your house at that.

Yeah, I think I had my son-in-law and my future son-in-law in town and, you know, they don't, they're 20 years, you know. To be fair, you're a great shot. Because I don't hear it when you miss. Yeah. Yeah. But you were just drilling it, so I was like, I need to know. So we go out at night

sometimes and, you know, I will not do it that late at night anymore. No, feel free to. I thought it was hilarious. No, too. I thought it was hilarious. I was. I play horse. horse basically with disc golf. That's what we're doing. It's like trick shot putting. You know, we're staying within, you know.

Martin, why did we never play horse? You should have one here and y'all just play We used to. This reminds me of last weekend when Christine went to Dallas. She went to Dallas to play disco? No, no. She went to Dallas to visit our daughter because our daughter is doing some stuff with her work. She was actually, it was a chariot.

charity six sticks uh what sticks anyway the company she worked for i can't remember what it is but anyway they had a charity and she's dancing with the stars she's one of the dancers okay okay but back to the house i'm i'm all alone now and i'm hearing weird noises and stone was playing discard no no no and i'm wondering like you what in the world is something the house fixed to blow up what's going on here i keep hearing clanking metal, yeah. Well, my wife and my maid feed the neighborhood cats.

Well, now we've got a new addition to the family. But it's a big German, not German Shepherd, a bulldog. Some type of bulldog, she's pregnant. She's got a litter somewhere. Under your house? Yeah, maybe. Anyway, she's coming up on the porch. it's eating the cat food and it's just a dog yes the dog it's not the whole group of

i was wondering all weekend i'm wondering and then christine gets back sunday and and she's at the door her and her and lives went somewhere she's at the door and she's talking i said what you what's you what are you saying to me she's so i'm not talking to you i'm talking to the dog and i said dog i said what did y'all get a dog she said oh it just showed up and we're feeding it no So that, when you said noises, strange noises. Well, I'd rather just have a neighbor that's into obscure sports. Well, I don't know. I ask her, I said, as the dog got a collar on,

you know, and she said, yeah, but it ain't no information on it. So it's somebody's dog that's running around neighborhood, you know. I don't know. Hard to say. But, you know, it was a weird, weird sensation hearing all these strange noises at night. it was well luckily I figured mine was just neighbor jet

hitting this goofing hot really shots yeah as soon as Christine come back she let me know what all the noise was about stupid

stupid dog eating all the cat food there you go and then I have another thing in common with you now kind of except I just have to ask

if it's because Jay shot all the squirrels in the neighborhood I'm pretty sure we're not positive but we don't see them anymore and then my niece you might have two

jace loves squirrels too and jay stone loves it yeah they both so we're not sure but and i know that's not you because that would be outrageous and me and you are normal but my niece's all got metal detectors for Christmas why is there nothing in the neighborhood

have you already ransacked at all I know not or do we just not know what we're doing not me personally but I know jace when he first got his was going over to like johnny and chris and he was hitting up the neighborhood pretty good. I don't know if he made it to y'all's place. I don't know.

I don't think he just hadn't found anything. I got you. And so I was like, well, maybe Jeff and Jace went ahead and took care of all metal. That's right. No, that was not me. And actually, my yard, we moved a lot of the dirt around. I've looked around out there a little bit, but it's not really anything either. Yeah.

I was so excited when they got metal detectors. I was like, they're going to find some stuff. And actually, you just take, I mean, there's places around. town you can go. I think you can go to like Corolley Park. And like Murray finds stuff there from the 1800s like coins and stuff. Like in the woods at Corolley. Well, think about rings, joy, like, mom, people out.

What it does is like getting into treasure hunting stuff, it'll get you researching. And like there was a time back in the early 1900s when everything flooded. And the highest point in West Monroe I learned was Carollie Park. And so a lot of people moved. They like camped there. back in like 19, I forgot what it was, 1908 or something like that. And so you can find like some really cool, because they live there for like two months or something like that to the water receded.

But yeah, Rob is so informative. That's what metal detecting does for you. That's it. So did you know that? Well, I know there's a lot of research goes into it. I thought you were the researcher. No. Murray is the research on the treasure founders.

There's a guy here. in town that he posts a lot of stuff on a, like my brother-in-law sends me stuff about just the history of Monroe Westmore. It's really cool. Like, I've learned a lot just following that guy. We need to research the history of our pond and find out what's been happening between me and you for years. Yeah.

Well, no, no. Can we just put a lot of people there? Nobody could go past our place. Do you want to cut off the end of the pond? Yeah. Us three. Yeah. I mean, I know.

Us and my parents. Yes. I wanted to put fish in there I thought how cool it would be to have like big ass in there or whatever but you can't everybody fisherman gets you and Mario

he's cool Mario pays me a lot of money to go fish in the form of bait so I like that I got you the other guy I think he's just snagging yeah he's just taking stuff and taking it all

have you ever caught a fish in that pond like a couple it makes me feel better it's a big catfish in it that's the rumor yeah jane jep live on it it's never caught anything jace caught one big one i know there's some big catfish yet trust me i trust you you don't have that even if it did there's it didn't have any fish in it at all there's a lot of disc golf discs in that pond yeah i can attest to that you want to go get

them are they yours yeah i bet you know i got into disc golf back when probably you were in Texas. And so, but I've every once while when you've been out there, I've thought about just slinging something. Oh, you should. See it if I could make it across the bottom and scare you. I've thought the same thing.

I've thought, I wonder if I could throw one over there in their yard. All right, I'm throwing one. Tonight, when you get home, you're going to look and there's going to be a random disc golf. It's mine, but you can have it. Because I don't play much anymore. Sa, have you ever played disc golf?

No. You'd probably be good at it. No. You'd be better at it than you were at golf. No. It's a big thing. huge. I'm not good at anything that I don't have interest in. And I have no interest in hitting

a little white ball. And they go... No, this is good. Then go chase it and find it and try to hit it again. You're talking about frisbys. You throw a frisbee. Oh, you can do that. Frisbee golf. I could throw one from your house all the way to Jeff's yard. Matter of fact, I could put it on his couch. Yeah. On his pole. I want to see your shoulder mine.

Oh, yeah. Well, let's take a break. And then we'll talk more obscure sports that happened in Jeff and Jessica's driveway. That inspired me right after this. That's right. So one day I drive past Jeff and Jessica's because I drive past their house to get to my parents' house. And Gus and River were out there playing pickleball in the driveway. And I was like, that looks like fun. But I don't want to play against Gus because the last time I watched a Gus sporting event,

it was like 60 to nothing in a flag football game. Gus 60, the Owen children, zero. It was a pretty good athlete. Yeah. Cy, he scored, how many touchdowns did he score? I think so many that the coach put him out and said he had too many interceptions and touchdowns. Yeah.

And Ben's is the opposite. He gets in at the end of the game when it's like, okay, we're going to let everybody try and, you know, catch the ball. but Gus destroyed flag football, but he's good at pickleball too. He's good at all things, to be honest with you. And I will say this, because I get, like, the rest of my kids, is much like Ben. You know, they didn't get a lot of playing time.

No, I was excited. Even though we were playing against y'all, I walked out there and I was like, hey, Ms. Kay's here. And I was like, oh, we're playing against Gus. And I was like, oh, we're playing against Gus. Oh, so we're going to lose, but we lost most smart games anyway. But then at one point I was like cheering for Gus. I was like, go.

And then the parents were looking at me. I'm like, I like him. I like your kids anyway. To make you feel better this year when we played football, we played against a team that had about five Gus's. Oh. And we got whipped. Yeah. And they, Gus scored the first touchdown.

And then they were like, okay, everybody honed in on him. They had him cornered in all areas of the field. He couldn't go anywhere. They just blocked. You're not supposed to block, but they were blocking him. Yeah. It was awesome, though. I mean, just watching him run past my kids

and the only Ben's plays football. I was like, you ain't got a chance to catch that kid, son. You ain't near fast enough. It was fun, though. But y'all've been into pickleball, huh? Si, have you played pickleball? No, I've heard it. You could do it.

When they first did pickleball, I said, what in the world? They're using pickles for a ball now? No. It's basically tennis slash ping pong ball. Like a shorter. With older people, everything, right? You have a net and I'm saying they combined

ping pong and tennis. In the medium tennis, but big ping pong. You don't have to run as far. It's a smaller court. Smaller court. Yeah. It suits those that need oxygen. Yeah.

It helps. I'm out. No, it's good for that. No, I'm out. You're out? Yeah, I'm out. But this is the obscure sports section. No.

Next time you're at my house, we'll, we'll, Put it out. Yeah. Yeah. Next time I'm at your house, hey, no. Come on. It's either be for food or ice cream. What's your both?

It ain't going to be for workout, boys. Trust me. No working out. No working out. No. You don't have to work out anymore. Me and Jeff are working out. You don't have to.

I don't even like watch people work out. Does anybody? I don't either. That would be weird. It is. Hey. Who watches people work out? Hey, what I'm just saying, hey, it's waste of time.

No. Waste of his time, waste of his time, waste of mine too. No, actually you need to be working out. No. Your bones, yep, you've got to strengthen them bones. I'm telling you. I thought working out was for muscles. Well, when you get older, it's to strengthen your bones.

It's what I was told by a medical profession. Well, you do it when you're young so that your bones are stronger when you're older. My bones have got to be strong from cared around his gut my whole life. That's what I'm going. I'm shrieking it. You haven't to work harder. Yeah. He calls me some back problems.

I've never had back issues until the last couple years. Oh, no. It's called old age. How old are you now? Just throw that one out there. 45. 45. Wow.

Everybody's getting long. You got married, kids. Are y'all grandparents yet? Not yet. Not yet. One day. But, yeah. There ain't get happening anytime, I guess.

I mean. How many kids are married? You got like seven. We have five kids. One kids married and one another will be married this June. Okay. All the ones, let's start. Grandpa Jeptha.

I'm ready for those days. I'm about the good old days. You're ready for that? Are you ready for that? I'm excited. That'll be awesome. Just as a baby whisperer. She's really good with babies.

Okay. I like that. The only other argument we have about y'all in our house across the pond people is because my wife can't pronounce the word genuine. How do you say the box that you do? Genuine by Jess? Yeah, that's the normal. Genuine?

Yeah. Yeah. Allison says genuine. Oh, I like genuine. I like that. Allison, that's a dirty rapper. That's not what Jessica's told. Anytime you bring genuine wine in there, you're going to go, boy.

All 90s rappers, I like. So that's what I feel like it. Alice would be like, oh yeah, Jess got a new genuine. I'm like, stop, it's genuine. She's like, it is genuine. I think you should change the name and say genuine. I think it's actually better. She's on to something.

And then when you're taking a commercial, say, hey, and it's okay to have a little wine for the genuine wine. There you go. Good tagline. Love it. I wasn't trying to change anything. I was just trying to correct. Rebranding just took place.

It's now genuine. She says it every time, though. I think that's good. And I'm like, Allison, it is genuine. That makes way more sense than a rapper. No, Jeff would probably prefer the rapper. It's homemade. Same word.

It's homemade, home-made, home-made, genuine. Because the music now that we listen to it. I used to put my kids on a rocking horse and play pony and think it was the funniest thing ever because I was young. And now in my 30s, I'm like, that was immature. It was hilarious.

I still think it's funny. I mean, they have edited versions of those songs. Yeah, they weren't edited ones back then. But Martin's got his phone over there playing pony. That's hilarious. We better get to a Bible verse quick. I know. We're on pony.

And let's go back to grandkids. Oh, have you seen that local commercial with that other one? Oh, have you seen a little flip on the copractor commercial? Beth's wondering. I'm not. You don't watch a lot of TV? He's on there every two seconds. Yeah, but I'm just more watch.

Apple TV kind of. The Carproctor has got a rapper. It's Little Flip. You know what Little Flip is? Uh-uh. You're not from Houston or me or Sadie Robertson. We're the only people who know Little... I don't know him. I've never heard of it. Never heard of Little Flip? No.

We get a lot of emails talking about Little Flip now. It's weird. It's a thing. This is the world's strongest podcast. Thanks for coming on it. Yeah. It's always a weird time. It never goes any different than this. But hey, while I'm looking up the Bible verse of the day, because I

just got here and that's how we're going to do it today you should we can you can come work out with me sometime it's way easy I was listening to your workouts I've been working out in my garage with the door down so nobody can see me oh yeah it's way easy I got in a Navy seal yelling at you in fact yeah we'll go get ice cream out that's where you get it out if you want to that that sounds a lot better than what I was right now I used to work out with stone and he'd be like you do the box and thing and all the sudden he'd hit you in the face and you're like you dropped your gloves. I'm like, I'm trying to like get skinny. Right, right. Right. Right. But my chin is good. Don't mess with my chin. Those in shape people scare me. Um, so look, we're going to throw this thing

off with the Bible verse Luke 2, 29 and 30. Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace for my eyes have seen your salvation. If you don't know Jesus, find him, talk with somebody about him. Go listen to Unashamed. They talk about him a whole bunch there. We talk about Genuine a little more here. But Jeff and Jessica, thanks for joining us. See you probably tonight across the pond. I'll wave.

Si? Right. For having us. Disco. Yeah, I'm going to throw a disco at you. You can do that. That's fun. How far you figure it is? From his back porch? I'd say a couple hundred feet. A couple hundred feet. Three, 300 maybe. That's a piece.

We can do it. If you got a good frisbee, hey. Blood or fly, boys. It's all in a rick section.
