Oh, you lost you. You left the phone in Michigan? What'd you do that for, homie? Why not? What else did I have to do? It's pretty inconvenient. He left his phone in Michigan. How did you leave it?

Because the guy let me borrow his truck while I was up there at that event. And he said, just lock your truck. Just lock my truck when you get to the airport. I got another set of keys. So I had it sitting on the console, you know, so I'd know how to get to the airport. Yep. And you locked the door.

And I got there. Locked the door. out, locked the door, and looked in there and said, hmm. Uh-oh. Ms. Q. Miss Q. Miss Q. So you're looking at your phone in Michigan.

As soon as I slammed the door, I was still looking in the driver's door window, and I looked at it, and I said, whoops. Yep. Well, that's inconvenient. That was my thought. That's the phone, boys. All right. No phone.

And I looked at my watch. It said, 4.15. I said, I ain't calling him. he ain't calling it that was a boring plane ride from Michigan I got a text from Miss Paula last night said John left his phone

Nice and warm. Yeah, it warmed up. It was 13. When I got there, it was snowing. I said, this is pretty cool. The rivers were all hard. Uh-oh. And a lot of deer in the fields.

So I felt pretty pretty at home. But it warmed up to 30. Yeah, Janet from Sanford, Michigan emailed in and told me to warn you that it's very cold and they just got a bunch of new snow. Well, I'm back. Yeah. I'm a little late on that warning. I read it this morning.

Oh, I went to Walmart and bought me one of them, what they called? I'm going to need more. It covers you, you know, the hoodie? A beanie. Like a raccoon skin. A hoodie. That's what they call them. A hooty?

We called them, what did we call them? A hootin. That's it. A hooty. A hootie. That's a bagging and a pair of gloves. So you didn't go with enough clothes. I should have read this email from Janet earlier.

Did you wear shorts? Man, I wanted to, but no. No. I had my zip-on legs, but. Zip-on legs. And I kept them zipped on, too, baby. He kept them zipped on, boys. We don't do well in the cold.

I can't stand a pair of britches. But it was like 30 degrees, but it didn't feel like 30 degrees. I mean, it was cold, but it was, I mean, it's a dry cold. Well, buddy, it was cold here this weekend. I sure you. It was cold up there in Tennessee where I was at, too. I spoke just south of Memphis. I got emails about that too.

Did you? Yeah, y'all are world famous. I got me some squirrels too, baby. Did you? Squirrel stew. Deep fried, they had all kinds of backstrap. They had pheasants. They had a transplanted Cajun up there that made a duck gumbo.

Yeah, I had an alligator up there. No, it was good. I didn't eat it. It looked good. It looked like gumbo. It didn't look like suit. It looked like gumbo. But he's from Homa originally.

So he had it going on, man. But it was a good event. It was the first time they'd ever done anything like that in their community. So there's like 600 people there. It was good. A bunch of kids, which was awesome. Jason and Bud both emailed in. Jason said you did great.

Look at there. Thank you, Jason. Bud said thank you very much for coming and sharing with us. Absolutely. No, it was a good time. It was a cool deal. I told I said, well, it's an honor to be here

on your first one, but I know why y'all's preacher did this. Everybody looks at why. I said, because it can only go up, boys. You start at the bottom and leave yourself room for improvement. I said, that's why they brought me in. I said, in probably five or six years, they have Phil or somebody here.

I said, but for right now, I'm your man. Let's roll. Roll. Roberson. But, you know, it was good because even over here in West Tennessee, See, that go, Vaugh's blood is strong. Very strong.

Strong. That whole place went nuts when I told him I married a Vaugh. I said, Lord, there be. Here we go. That is one of the reasons I married her, though. Because she's from Tennessee? No, because she's a volunteer fan. You wanted one of them tea hat?

You wanted one of them pee on it, didn't you? You wanted a Bill Dance hat? No. I got one. If you can be a Tennessee volunteer fan, there's one die-hard characteristic about you. You ain't leaving somebody. Loyalty, baby. loyalty loyalty you ain't a bandwagoner she's going to stick with you through thick

amen and she's already been with me through thick now I'm a little bit thinner so we'll see if we make it through this too oh that's funny well that's pretty pretty smart their basketball team's good for now for today give it a week side what'd you do this weekend sit at the house I stayed in the bed oh watch watch gun smoke Hey, I'm, uh, Watched old Matt and Festus. I'm catching up on all my sleep I missed this year was the hunting deal. Well, you took the last four weeks off.

I was saying, I didn't hunt for half a year. Half a season, boys. That's all that. But deer season was awesome this year. Well, there you go. Slapped all weekend. All them old deer appeared, they got wool on them. They was all bristled up.

Wool? Oh, because they looked like thick. They were dark. Yeah, it looked like your dog whenever he gets all fired up. Oh, yeah. Yeah, their hide is a lot thicker down here. Yeah, these things down here wearing short-legged britching. Wait, where did you see deer?

You went hunting? No. I was driving down the road. No, animals up. Once you get north of here, animals just stand on the side of the road. They don't root that down here. Ain't enough rednecks up there. No, everybody follows a law up there.

Nobody hanging out the window. Yeah, they apparently don't know how them marched. Deer taste. And how they're better than November deer. March deer, baby. Just like them summer woodies. I used to hear about. They harder to skin.

Summer woodies. Yeah. I love it. Them summer woodies way better than fall ones. I'm like, man, hey, why would you kill a wood duck that summer? Like, it happens, though. It's, outlaws, baby. They're everywhere.

Hey, with the price of everything, though. It's almost as cheap. If they'd let you keep them. it'd be as cheap as buying chicken. It was. Just pay you fine and move on. Of course, they take them for evidence, so, you know, but. Yeah, they don't let you keep them.

No, but that's just part of it. Good night. What? That's terrible. Take you ducks from you if you shoot them in illegal? Mm-hmm. And your gun and your truck. Oh, yeah.

Your first born. License. Yeah. Your freedom. Do the brush. Yeah. They get it off. Well, I bet you'd do it as well you shouldn't get caught in.

Hey, you want to know if fun any one size up here. just dumping some trash off. And I didn't even realize I had witnessed a crime. Uh-oh. But I became the key witness in a crime. In a crime. Yesterday? Yesterday.

Here. On a Sunday. On a Sunday. Sunday morning at Duck Commander. One 17 Kings Lane. What house? Well, it was at our neighbor's house. Oh.

So I come pulling. My friend? No, Curly. Oh. Our squatter up there. That's a squatter. What kind of crime did he commit? I said my friend and you said Curly.

I said, oh, Hell, he's also my friend. But he don't preach. He's number two. Number two for him. Next door to him. But, no, so I pull out the back, back here. And I see this old white truck just whip in Curley's in a hearse.

I'm like, well, man, they must need a dog or something. Or some dog food. Well, I... Curly's a dog trainer. Yeah, he houses dogs and trains dogs and all that kind of good stuff. Yeah, he's good. He's top dog. Yeah.

But anyway, so I didn't think nothing. No, I mean, I kind of crept by because you can look back on our cameras and see that. I obviously thought something was weird. But, you know, I was like, well, they pulled up under the carport. They just in a hurry to get their dog, you know, whatever. I ain't thinking nothing about it. So I kept on trucking. And then Curley called me about five minutes later and said, hey, man, can you let me in the office?

I need to see the security footage. I said, for what? He said, somebody doesn't stole my limo. I said, well, you don't need the security footage. footage it was an old white f-150 single cab had two boys in it and he said is it really i said yeah that's i said they just left there when i was there or they had just pulled in when i was there show enough about half mile up the road they caught them in the parking lot at the hobby lobby with his pushmower in the back of their truck and a single cab white f-150 they're stealing lawnmowers just take and and took

his gas can why would you want to steal something you got to work with yeah that's my i'm don't After three inches of rain on the weekend, what's you going to do with? What are you going to do with? This ain't the prime time of year to go to a pawn shop with a lawnmower. Save that trick for June. That's just like writing with a broken pencil. Pointless. They stole a pushmower.

Uh-huh. And a gas can and a two-gallon can of gas. Hey, that's worth about $15 these days. Well, but in a pushmower, a two-gallon can of gas will last you two months. I mean, that thing gets the best fuel mileage I ever seen. No, it's about 15 yards to the gallon. Yeah, especially if it's me and John, because, hey, we ain't going to push it. They're going to.

So they stole a lawnmower instead of getting a job, that way they could go get paid to mow yards. No, they ain't going to. They're selling it. No, they, they're going to. They're working. That thing was headed to the pawn shop so fast making the house. Did they get arrested? Oh, yeah, they got arrested.

But the best part was them stupid idiots did it. And Curley's guy was there. Putting up the dogs. He come running outside. You can see it all on our security cameras. That's hilarious. He come running outside looking like the old lady on the paperboy game, you know, a video game used to have come out there.

That's what he looked like with his hand up in there. But he had a flat tire and had to get dropped off at work. Now, see, you thieves, if you listen to this, you could take an example. This boy had a flat tire and had to get dropped off at work, which is another reason your moron self got caught, because he showed up to work. Thank you.

Earning an honest living, 16-year-old kid. Thank you all, everybody that's out there working. Absolutely. We're all this COVID deal. Thank you for working and serving us. But, yeah, they just pull up in there and take the lawnmower. Don't realize the kid's in the backyard with the dogs. Let air in the dogs and everything.

Ain't nobody doing nothing. Yeah. And really didn't realize that I had done a symptom. I'm reading the police report. Oh. Public records are the best. Hey, well, look, according to the old. boy I talked to said their rap sheets about seven pages worth.

He's got more than one photo on this website. I will say that. Put him up. I ain't going to put him up. A direct quote from what I heard in the background of the cop as he was explaining if what he had was a vehicle I saw, I can give you this direct quote. He said, I'm tired of seeing your face. That's what the police told the boy.

That was on first name basis. That's when you... Yeah, he's a well-known career outlaw. And then all I could hear the old boy saying was, don't tow my truck, don't tow my truck, don't tow my truck. I said, all right, sounds like you got a handle, buddy. I'll holler at you later on. Yeah, we go.

So let's take our first break. We'll be back right after the year. 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 Trial's beef. such a good product, baby. 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 cattle the same way their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door we threw a couple of ribbys on the grill look salt pepper garlic hot fire that's all you need look because i tell you what when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living you can taste the difference the tenderness and the flavor are fantastic so if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season go check out try tells beef i know in size case christine loves it which is

is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. I'm depressed now. What are you depressed for? I'm going through this, the inmates that all got arrested yesterday where we live.

And you know them? No, I don't. How many of them shop at your store? Oh, I don't know. I found something stole another. day has made me sad. What did they steal? A hook file?

A hook file. Why not just get new hooks, man? Anyway, I'm just going through it. Let me tell you something right now. If they're stealing the file, they ain't got the money for the hooks either. They probably took them too, but those are harder to find. Yeah. Why people got to steal?

Sorry, I was, I was, we were in a break, but then I got. One of the most oft when I was at TP outdoors. TP outdoors. Stolen pieces of equipment. Duck calls. Oh, yeah? They would pop them out of them clamshells, put the clamshell in the tank of the toilet, and put that duck call in their pocket and walk out with it.

I got to go check the tank of the toilet. You better look there. Yeah. There's probably wrappers and everything else up in there. Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's when we shut down the bathroom to the public because they just kept doing it. A bag to the weight.

Now. That's pretty bad. Fishermen are good. Yeah, we'll use bathroom. No, no. You can't use bathroom here. No public restroom. Get out of here.

That's right. I just ain't a restroom. You're out. This is the business. Yeah, we had to put a... One bad apple dumps for the whole bunch of girls. The only people we let in there was parents. If they needed to change their kids' diapers or something.

That's the only people we'd let in there. The retail world. That's pretty rough. That's a wild. That's terrible, ain't it? Oh, yeah. I was wondering why they used to... I was going to open one of them, you know, and they don't staple it.

Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. Keep you grab his... That's why. They can't open and take it out. Okay. Keep you grab his out of there. Yeah.

Well, I just, you know, I was going to test it. Yeah. Mm-hmm. That's what I'd say. Oh, and I said, that's a good grief. What in the world? I look, and I ain't talking about these little bitty secretary staples. I'm talking about these things here are serious.

Oh, they got a little surface area to them. That way, if you do it, it tears a package, and somebody will probably hear it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then. That's what it sounds like, by the way. He's staple, I'm talking about.

Oh, heck yeah. Criminal, man. Criminal. Have you ever done? Look, I went in there and what was Walmart, I think? You stole something from Walmart? No, no, no. I go in, look, and they've got a riding reel for sale.

So I'm looking and I said, okay. Support your local tackle shop. Nope, I want the reel. I don't want the ride. The ride ain't no good. So I take the reel off of this one, and I go over and find me a real. real good ride. Oh, he's making his own combo. No, no, no. No, no. And I said, okay. So look,

I walk up there. You got caught. No, no, no. I just walk up there. I said, hey, you know, ring that up. And she said, no, sir, we don't sell that combination. And I said, wait a minute, you don't understand. I said, I've been back here for an hour. I've been back there for an hour, okay. I found the ride I want, I found the real, want. I put them together and I take it, bringing it to you and said, hey, ring it up and

I'll pay for it. And she said, sir, you don't understand we don't sell them to like that. And I said, you don't understand. That's what I want and I'll pay for it. Ring the stupid thing up, woman. Hey, she wouldn't sell it to me.

She didn't have a bar code. No, no. I said, you're a idiot. Didn't have a barcode. You called a Walmart employee. Oh, hey, and I said, hey, where's your, where's the manager on the deal? Yeah, good luck with that. No, no. Well, I'm saying, hey, I don't want to speak to the manager.

That's fine. Nobody would say I'm the manager. Hey, my first job here at Duck Commander was to call the manager of a Walmart. Folks at home, pick up your telephone, call Walmart, ask for the sporting goods manager, see how long it takes you to get to that person. Well, I haven't got it. That was my first job here. Is there really a sporting goods manager? good manager in theory i don't think they have one because i i i stayed there for like 45 minutes

saying hey give me somebody with authority to sell me this stupid rod and put me a barcode on there and zap it yeah i got a lot of thoughts right so that's the reason they started putting zip ties on rod and reel combo. Oh no, no, no, no, that's right. You're not supposed to do that. Even in Walmart, I would say don't do that. Also, what do you mean? Who about Rod and Reels from Walmart? Hey, I was looking for a Pacific feel and that made the cut. You should have just took them up one at a time.

He didn't want that. Instead of putting them together. If you would have took it off the rear rods, she would have sold it. That was the most stupidest thing I had ever. run into is that they would not sell me that rod and real didn't want you money your money don't spend there do you still need money i'd just walked out with i can help you with that it was under eight hundred dollars he got a whole store he'll sell them however you want them i'll even cut one off and put it on a different one for you and i really did i said hey you know what i'll here's my wish for you

in the future oh boy uh oh no no oh i was hot oh he's giving out wish you still no no no you ain't let this one go Oh, no. Oh, I'm still hot about it. That's what I hope happens. I hope you go under. I hope you have to file bankruptcy. Walmart. And all the Walmarts around the world go bankrupt.

Because you won't take my $17 for this here, Rod and Real combo. You won't send it to me. Because he put a $12 real. I'm going to buy another one next week. No, no, all it was, it was a big. Zepko. Uh-huh. Open face, you know, big spinning reel.

Yeah. Okay. And I put it on the rod that I wanted, okay? Probably a casting rod. Probably a Shakespeare. Well, no, it was a good rod. I think it was a Shakespeare. It was on that ugly stick bag.

No, no. All the tip was white. Oh, no. Oh, no. You got to see them hits when they hit. Hey, look, that was the year of the reason I've done this. You can't break it. No, no.

That was the year that I had actually set the hook on probably, oh, 35 or 40. 10 pound bouts, y'all, you know, over seven pounds. That's how many I got in the boat. How many? None. Zero? Hey. Zero.

You need the shop at Walmart. You need that hook file. That dude stole. No, no, I didn't need no hook file. He stole the hook file. Look here. Let me tell you. Look, I stripped reels, the gears in them.

I broke rods. I broke line. Okay, I even broke the braided line. Tried to commit Larsonie at Wall. Oh, no, no. Broke a bank. Hey, you know, and I said, you got to be kidding me. And I said, then when I find the reel and rod of my dreams,

they won't give it. The idiot won't sell it to me. So I don't went up there to Walmart trying to buy one of them surf fishing combos for his seven pound bass out there's me brim on luther bag that's me brim that was because it was an open face spinning reel and I took

it off on one of these stupid old rods they said we're selling him no fishing stuff I was hot and here's what I said let's go to Walmart because I see this happen all the time

to the lady at Walmart that was just doing what you was told thank you yeah thank you because he wasn't supposed to take that reel off that rod don't let this old kooky rascal talk you in

of nothing. Granted, he wasn't as good looking back in. You have a pistol? But, no, he ain't. Yeah, he's got. He's reaching for, man. He's getting him a lifesaver out of there or something. What are you doing?

The first thing I had to do was I had to take it. Oh, he's got to take his fucking knife out and cut the zip thing. See? I'm going to arrive. Yeah, so thank you for doing your job. Yeah, I'm with her now. Yeah. Also, thanks for that commercial.

And next time, next time charge him double. Huh? I feel a conspiracy. You're with her. Yeah. Why ain't you with me? I'm the, look, what happens to the customer is always right? You went to Walmart.

But you were wrong. And you told it. The customer is never wrong. You should have taken both of them up there. That's right. The customer's never wrong. That's right. That's right.

That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. He got you. Not the stupid one they put together. If you'd have bought both of them, you could have had whatever you want. Let's go up there and do it right now.

That's what I'd say. They will sell it to you. Let's try. Let's try. They will not sell it to you. I want to try it. If that woman's there, she ain't going to sell it to you. When was this?

If that woman's there. Hold on. Was this recent? Because now my feelings are hurt. No. No. No, we're talking about it. It was pre-Henny-Hen.

Look, you don't understand. I think we need to check this theory out. I'm in. That was a, I can't even remember to name it now, but. man knows he's fishing because it said a Shakespeare ride and it was the... Well, that's all you used to get by back in the...

Well, no, no, I think it was called the ugly stick. It was an ugly stick. You're lucky she didn't beat you with it. No, no, it was six and a half or six. You can't tear them up, they say. Six and a half, seven foot. Hey, you know, when you set the hook on this sucker,

okay, it was one of them, you've done this and then the ride just, It was so doubt that it had one of them deals. So he hears, because he never purchased it. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, but hey. You want an ugly stick? Oh, he wanted it.

Oh, what are you talking about? That would have been the high deal. I sold it. I sold it. Come get one. I'll even get you a real. They sold out. I'm sorry.

He said, no. I ain't doing it. I ain't done. Hey. I used to love them ugly stick commercials when I was a kid growing up, they come on Tee and E. You go fishing one more. They take them and lay them.

on the ground and bend them all the way over so look, what I do I got me an ugly stick. I went out there the first time I went to lean that thing on there, pop, pia! I said, well, got him.

I think that was just after I ordered my helicopter lures from rolling Martin. I was a sucker for a TV commercial back in that. I guarantee you. All right, well, let's take another commercial. Let's take a break, but I appreciate that commercial for me. This segment brought to you by the flying lure. Oh, sorry.

When you go to Big Box, you lose some flexibility. Well, hey, look, you lose flexibility. I saw somebody get all upset the other day in line at Academy because he didn't have his receipt. And therefore, they couldn't swap it out. They had to give him the lowest advertised price because he didn't have proof that he paid full price and not on their sales price.

And I'm not saying that the boy didn't pay full price. But we in 2022, son. You know you got to have your receipt. And those people working did not make that decision. Nope. There are orders from Katie, Texas. What if the bar, what if the bar code still on your product?

It doesn't matter because you could have bought it when it was 2499 and now it's 4999. That's one reason. The biggest theft in retail is that thing right there. But the customer is always right. Huh? That's one reason. Until they're wrong.

They're not wrong. That's one reason I always bought Garcia Reels. Aboo! Yeah. Because, hey. For life. If you bought one of them, son, I took it back. I sent in two that we had literally wore them out.

Well, they'll all do that now if you send it back to the factory. Yeah, but most of them, no, back then then. Yeah. No, they wouldn't. Hey, I sent them two rod reels that I'm talking about the gears were gone. Mm-hmm. Just from use, okay? they sent me two brand new ones.

They didn't make them anymore. He on that Joe Lee bag now. Hey, 410, okay. Four 10, okay. Two brand new four 10, Garcia. Shotguns? No, real. Oh, I didn't know they made them. Oh, no.

Hey. No, that 410 was that old big silver one. Oh, and hey, good reel. Yeah. Good reel. Look like a beer can hollowed out with a spool in the middle of it. Oh, yeah. And you've never been on me.

I know. That's like six to one ratio. crank on that sucker. That thing like a wink. Hey, when you doing this, we're bringing him in and sliding on. Hey, once he hits

the top water bait and I set the hook, he don't get his head down again. No. And across the top of the water board throwing in a boat. Boy, I like this. That was with monofilament there.

That's it too. They didn't even have none of that fancy fluorocarbin back in. Or that brave, man. Old fishing stuff. No, 50 pound. Spin, boys. Old.

20 pound. That's what he's. Bram fish is with. 20 pounds. No, no. Put a quarter ounce b-be weight on it just to get it down. I get all this when I'm in the military

I get ordered and we go to Germany. Uh-oh. Okay, and they said, hey, Robinson, do you like fish? I said, yeah. He said, oh man, we're going to go catch a bunch of trout. So, look, hey, I got my fishing equipment with me,

which is 410, Garcia was a good ride. Okay, with 20 pounds string on it. Oh, string. Yeah, you know, so hey. Big game. No, that's perfect. I got a little old spinner bait, okay, that,

Harold, he was a big trout fisherman when he was in the Air Force. And he gave me some of these little old trout baits. With a spinner on them? Yeah. Like a rooster tail. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So, hey, I flip that, okay. No, ain't nobody catching nothing. I'll tie them on you on. You know, I'm talking about, look, hey, they hit it and just ever cast, and I'm just, boom, just reel him in. Well, I'm throwing them back. You see the size of that reel handle, son. You crank on that.

Hold on your 4-10. Look at the size of that real. I found this. Oh, that's it, baby. $80 on eBay. Look at the size of that real handle, son. Hey, that's crank on that. That's what you use.

Oh, eagle. Oh, eagle. Oh, this one wasn't looking back, her. This one was dead. We named him Lazarus. Oh, J.D. turned red.

You're right. Let's take a break. We'll be back right after this. Thanks for the rock. My military career was a hoot. Was it? Oh, no. I'm serious.

Well, that sounds like it. No, no. I had more fun. okay and my officers above me was all they was always just shaking their head okay I did yeah and asking questions like why the hell would you do that see I wish I was still in the military I had to do better than what we got now oh well got to I had but I will say this my you had top secret clear so they thought pretty highly oh no no but no that that's Phil said, wait a minute.

He said, what did you just say? You have top secret claims? And I said, I had a top secret clerk. Whoa, you didn't know that? Oh, this boy went around handcuffed to stuff, son. Oh, no, I had to, yeah. Yeah. Hey, he looking like Inspector Gadget walking through there, son.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. No, no, no, no. Hey, look, during the Iraqi war, okay, I work in, okay, the operations center. What year was this? Of 200 Tams. Oh, good grief. What was in the war ago?

You're talking about Desert Storm? The 90s? And all that? Yeah. Late 80s, early 90s. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, I worked in the operations center of 200 Tamsie.

We shipped 7th Corps from Germany with all their equipment, all the bullets, food, everything, tank, everything. And we was going, just what we run out of. Tea. Dude wipes. Nope. Coffee. Lemon juice. Two before, and plywood.

Two before. We're buying it worldwide. It can't get enough. That sounds eerily familiar. Oh, no, no, no. Cannot get enough because we're shipping M1 Abrams tanks on rail cars and you have to block them down with, you know, four befores and plywood and all this junk.

But we ship seven core over there with everything they have. Tanks, all their trucks, guns, everything, bullets. But it was good to watch, okay, because look, we would have a briefing, you know, briefing the generals. And the stuff is in tons, okay, and it's in the millions. Millions of tons? Yeah, million. This is all tons. That's why we always win.

We get there first. I don't know, because look, when you're saying, okay, that's, how much is that 13 million? 13 million tons, okay, of 105 shells. That's a bunch. That's a big old hole. Yeah, yeah. 13 million tons. A ton is 2,000 pounds.

And I can't even find no 410 bullets each day. Well, no, no, no. So when you're looking at figures like that, you know. And then you say, okay, how many, because that's like when I went to Camp Shelby in Mississippi, okay? They was going to give me, let me ride one of them, drive one of the M1 Abrams over. Yeah, and these things are lined up just from here to eternity, okay?

That's a long way. No, no, it just goes out of sight and okay. Forever and ever. Yeah, and when you think about it, okay, this is, Wait a minute. That's $5 million a pop, and I'm looking at them, and they go out of sight under these sheds.

You know, I'm saying, good grief. You tell them, you tell them some equipment. I knew it's over there. I just need to clarify something. They're still over. I got questions. You were offered to drive something and said no.

Well, no, no, because I got in it. Okay. You know, I was, I was, I was, I was loaded. Well, no, no, no, no, no. It had no gas in it. It wasn't no. I've drove the M60. There's no bullet to now.

M. 60 tank, okay, but M1 Abrams, okay. Yeah. I got in there. He's like the sports car tanks, right? Oh, do, right? Like highly maneuverable. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Runs about 80 miles an hour. Woo. And when it's fully combat loaded, that's 52 tons. Yeah. Okay. And these are fully combat loaded.

Yeah. So anyway, I get in it, and I got bad lungs from too many cigarettes. Okay, so I'm in it. I finally get in it, okay, and I'm talking about, hey, look, I ain't even got room to do nothing. When I finally sat down in the driver's seat, okay, all I can smell is diesel. So I had to sit, hey, get me out of here. I can't breathe. So they had to pull me out.

You like me at the time I tried to get in Boyers race school. I couldn't even get my leg through the winter. Too much, man. Yeah. Not enough cars. Yeah, because, hey, them seats for them stupid cars, he's talking about. They're made for that person. Oh, I squeed.

Yeah, Godwin actually got down in there. Oh, no. I couldn't get down in there. Hey, I sat down and I'm telling me, oh, wait a minute, what's in my back? Yeah. I drove. Whatever it was, I wasn't, I didn't fit right, and something was about to break my spine. I went.

And we already know we got soft bones from the rear, been ice test. But the M1Avon's tank, you got to understand. You know, it'll run 80 miles an hour, fully combat loaded, and they can blow up stuff running 80 miles an hour. Good, Gary. I bet that's a pretty good shock. If you are going 80 and you shoot.

You don't even feel it. Don't even know it. You don't even feel it. They got inertia figured out. Hey, that mess is so big. That's like a banelli. You just keep on chunk. It holds 500 foot.

gallons of gas. 504 gallons a few? Uh-huh. How much? Wow. 504. That's a big old time. That's bigger than the tiny.

You know what that cost to fill up today? Two grand. Look, and when I looked, I was looking at, how many I'm looking at? I'm saying, wait a minute, hold, hold. This is $5 million a pop for each one of them things. And I'm saying they go, they run out of sight. Yeah. Yeah, unreal.

They built 10,3196 of them. How many? What, five or six hundred there that I'm looking at? Hey, look. Well, that's five times, you know, five million times 600. Mm-hmm. Whoa. Hey, they built 10,396 of them.

Yeah. According to Wikipedia, which anyone anywhere in the world can get on here and tell us anything, which is how you know. Well, I just have information out of you. You know what you just did by giving us. side of that tidbit. He's going to impress somebody one day. Oh, yeah.

They only built 10,300 of those things. And they were lined up right there. Oh, no, you got to understand. It went in two turns. It's amazing to see it, okay, because when I was in Germany, okay, we had dads that worked with me, okay, they had sons that was in the tank battalions when the war was going on. And they was talking about, oh, you know, they was writing their dad talking about, hey, look,

they said it was like 400,000. 4,000 yards, you know, was a long shot. And he said, oh, no, no. They ain't got that right yet. We're still blowing up everything we see, and if we can see it, we shoot it. They're blowing up dots. Yeah.

You can see stuff a long way in the desert. Well, no, no, no. And look, and all this stuff is optics, you know, the best there is, you know. Oh, yes. When it's combat lockdown and infrared and all this stuff, No, it's unreal. You don't want them rascals hunting you.

No. Infrared's, dude. But it's just. That reminds me, you know, why tomato is real. That is, y'all. Hold on now. Unreal. I want to hear this.

Do you hear a goblin? What? You said infrared it reminded me why tomatoes are red. Why is that? They saw salad dressing. Ah. And today's dad joke with Godwin. Ah.

I love it. Fire. have made his red because they saw salad dressing. They saw salad dressing. Woo! Oh. Was it French? Probably.

That's the only thing that's turning red. French dressing. Oh, Lord. Let's take a... But, hey, back to what I was saying, I was telling me, I had a blast. Okay, give me some of that coffee. My military career was a blast. I guarantee you.

You know it was a good episode, though, whenever I've had to move-sized microphone about Eight times. Yeah, we got to get that boy. 10,300. 10,300. Oh, Lord. They made 10,300. All right.

All right. Let's take our last. Let's take our last break. We're going to get in that inbox. We're coming back. Right after this. I got a crick in my neck. Is that a joke?

Is something coming next? No, I got a creak in my neck. I was wondering why he was grabbing you back. I didn't know if there was going to be like a... I need like to be on one of them stretching up the riders. In fairness, though, go. Do the hang it upside down one. Hey, Willie's got one.

Go to Willie's house. All right. He's got one. He's got one. He's got one. He's like your feet in. He ain't there anyway. It turns you upside down, let you hang.

Oh, I got one then, man, inversion table. Yeah. Oh, yeah. My dad's got one. They say that really worked. Everybody's got one. No, they ain't about 300 bucks, though. Yeah.

I say that really works, though. Wear your shoes. It hurts if you don't. Yeah, to lock. Locky hangers. Like I'm going to walk on the ceiling or something? No, you just hang there. No.

I don't really get it. I started about that before I went to this. Yeah, when you get to this, when you come back up like this. Kind of mind-bullying. Ooh, buddy. For about two, three minutes there, it's back like in high school again. Like you don't have too many natural lights or something. That is.

All right. Here we go. Jason from Pelham, North Carolina. All right, Jason. It's weird that he emailed this in since the last episode. It is. And we talked about Sy and is Winston so many times today. Oh, okay.

He's heard Sai mention kicking the scourge, known as smoking several times. Mm-hmm. And he's been smoking for 30 years, and he's ready to stop. Right, give it up because, hey, it is damaging your lungs. But how? How did you quit? You just put it out. Put it out, put it out.

You just went cold turkey. You'll stop. All right. That was after I had a heart attack, open heart surgery. Yeah. He had a little crutch there for a while. For a hot minute, he was on them half a Tampa Jules, them little cigars. Terrible.

Them half a Tampa Jules. Oh, no, they're good. No. But that wasn't for me. But I'll say this. The man went from probably, what, two packs a day? A pack and a half, two packs? Oh, two.

To, like, ten of them have a Tampa Jules to nothing. In a matter. I'm talking about short, not like. It wasn't long. It didn't like he used a half. him as a crutch for long he finally wadded them up one day had his last one i think i was there it was at a poker night he wadded the thing up and he says i'm done and just threw him down and i ain't ever seen him with another one now he's done with a game that's why he wasn't no he the boy's poker

game don't ever end never but uh no that money but he did he just he he made up his mind one day and just uh forget it's mind over matter and with my case, I ain't got a man, so it don't matter. I made him funny. Did you miss them? Huh? Real talk. Do you miss them?

I can smoke a whole pack right now. See? So that's what I think. All the people saying, oh, no, you, yeah, you don't have a crave for them. That's a BS. But that's what I think Jason needs to hear, because, Jason, you ain't going to not want to do this again. Yeah.

There's no magic here. Yeah, you just got to not do it. You got to decide. I ain't doing it. Okay. It is affecting you your lungs. Okay. Because I've got COPD now.

Okay. And my breathing is, you know, going south rapidly. Terrible. So don't smoke. So, hey. Give them up. Quit. Give them up.

All right. Next one. Y'all want heavy, super heavy. Heavy. Hunting. That's my brother. Or incredibly light. What are you looking at?

I was trying to figure out which one was your brother. Heavy, super heavy or hunting? Or incredibly light. Uh-huh. Let's go heavy. Sock it to us. Heavy. All right.

Let's go heavy. I struggle with my faith. Six years old and not really sure what true love and faith are. He's not surrounded with practice believers. He does believe in Christ, though. I'm not a reader. I struggle with understanding what I read. going to church, not my thing.

I just need some advice on how to feel true love and faith from old Minnesota boy. I need to ask you to clarify something. Did you say he was six years old? 60. 60 years old. And he basically says, I believe in Christ, but I don't do anything that he says to do in the Bible. So you have an awareness. That's a good start.

It's a good start. That's a good start. So he just wants advice on how to feel true love and faith, but he said going to churches in his thing, reading the Bible, not his thing, not surrounded with practice believers. Well, so. That's all the things that help me is going to church because church ain't, you know, a lot of people think of church is, well, I really don't know what to think. They just think they need to go, but it's like a pep rally, you know.

And you don't always, I mean, there's things all churches have flaws. There's going to be things there you don't particularly agree with. But Christ is preached, and that's what you need to be agreeing on right there. Yeah. I don't. I don't like the term going to church. Yeah. Okay.

That's number one. It's incorrect. It is. Okay. So I would rather say, okay, hey. I'm meeting, I go to meet with God's family. Yep, go meet with the brothers. Okay, you go meet with the brothers and sisters.

That is people of like minds, okay? You know, that's like when people ask me, who do you run with, Uncle Si? I run with God the Father, God's the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. That's who I run with. Okay. And then when I, you know, the word going to church doesn't really exist. You go to worship the Almighty. And look, you don't have to go anywhere to worship God.

He's everywhere. And I'm going to give our boys down the road a little plug here. Look, if you don't want to go to church, you're smart enough that you've figured out how to use email. So you have a digital awareness. there's plenty of resources online you can watch from the comfort of your home. Our guys over at Unashamed go through Phil, Jason, Al, go through a lot of deep studies in the Bible where you don't have somebody looking there at you wondering if they're judging you or not because, you know, you've been cutting up.

You can do this all by yourself with accountability right here. So there's tools that'll get you to a comfort level where then all of a sudden going to meet with brothers. and sisters isn't such a big thing. So I would recommend for you starting there. Because you can do this all from the comfort of your home before you figure out where you need to be, what you want to do, this, that, and the other. There is an endless supply of resources via the interwebs.

Use the interwebs for something good. It's rarely done these days. I like one thing you said about you're not being, you're not with people that you've, think or judging you. That's why my favorite two verses in the Bible is John 3, 16, 17.

Okay, and mainly everybody knows 16. Jesus came to save us, okay? But 17's the more heavier in a way to me. Because, okay, the Savior of the world, if he

came and he did not judge us and trust me what I tell you this. He's the only one qualified to do it, but he didn't judge us. So that's one thing. Okay. I always tell people, don't get in that, don't put yourself in that position. You're not qualified. Nope. Okay. So, yeah, but Martin had a good point there. That's right. All the online stuff available nowadays. And there's people in that Unashamed podcast that I'll talk to each other in the comments because you need to surround.

The one thing I took from your email that I was just like, man, that's what you need to do, is surround yourself with other people. Because Jesus Christ of Nazareth, big deal. His first of the move was, I got to find 12 dudes that are going to roll with me, no matter what. One really sucked. But the other 11 rolled to their death too. So my biggest thing is I know people and one's in this room. These two guys I know would do anything.

I can call in a heartbeat and they'll show up. You know, so have yourself those people in your life. And if you don't have them, search. Yeah, you can find them. They ain't hard to find them. Don't just, most of them will find you when you ain't even looking for. Yeah, that's where most of mine found me. That's the way God rolls.

Yeah, and there's a pretty good chance they already there. You just ask the right questions yet. It takes a village. You can't do it by yourself. Amen. Amen. You all ready for that Bible verse? Wrap her up, Johnny Depp.

All right, we'd be remiss to not mention, we know real stuff's happening in the world right now. We get in here, we cut up, we have fun, but war's going on. That sucks. You know, you hate to hear anybody hurting, you know, especially when you're a believer. So Bible verse of the day is going to be a tough one, but I'm just going to read it. From Jesus himself, Matthew 543, you have heard that it was said, love your neighbor and hate your enemy, enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

you that you may be children of your father in heaven. He causes his son to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect. Perfect's a strong word and we'll never be perfect, but we can strive to be and that starts with having fun loving each other no matter the situation and we're not political science in here scientists in here so we're going to leave it at that we love all of you have a good one we're after bye see y'all next time
