Okay. So, but I just, hey, I'll tell you, I'll keep telling y'all, if you ask any policemen, anywhere about eyewitnesses' account, he will tell you they're unreliable. Not reliable. They're not reliable. Hey, I know for a fact, if they looked at it when she was telling her virgin, I was sitting over here telling me, I've never heard that before. You've told that story for so long, you believe it.

Oh, I hadn't heard her version. version. Because she says, hey, I bought a cheap $16 ring. Hey, I remember sliding a cigar ban on her finger. No, what happened? He bought that. And he said, you know what, that'd be a lot better story if that was a cigar ban.

Let me write that way. Hey, somebody had handymealed cigars saying, Does Jerry Clower have a story about somebody getting married with a son? I said, when he did, I said, I said, baby, I said, look, hey, we just getting married. We ain't having a kid yet. Oh, my favorite part.

Well, hey, congratulations to that cigar. I said, well, great. I said, well, hey, they said, where's the ring? I said, hold it. Right here. I have stuck the cigar back in the pocket. And the first idea of one we got, after he said, you got a kiss to your body, I kissed her,

and let me up a cigar. That's not true. We have definitive. She said, nope, not true. There's two versions. You went to a ring store. Since we've done it, I don't know what's this. What is the truth?

Did you notice the old time, did you watch it, Johnny D? Oh, yeah. The whole time, Sy was telling the story. Christine was doing this. Oh, I was watching her the whole time, and he'd go spaghetti, and she'd just start shaking her head. And then she'd lean in and go, the best part of this was when the couple, her girlfriend and her boyfriend, okay, when he was telling her, he said, hey, look, describe. you're a dream man so she starts describing and hey he found the mic boys no no hey it was five for five she did describe and i was going yeah i saw it's one six three that's two

yeah that's three that's four that's the five but the best part okay the loudest laugh out of both them was was when martin said i know what we're going to put on his tombstone when we put him in the ground. It wasn't the jacket. It was the strut. The strut. That was. Struck.

Right. But anyways, whoever's idea, that was to have Christine on. That man right. Yeah. That man right there. It was only my idea if it worked.

Yeah, that's right. Well, since it did. A good way to go with you. Yeah. That's a good way to go with it. I can't remember the last time I laughed that much.

It was, it was awesome. Y'all did a great job on that. Oh, man. Well, no, no, no, the best part of it was is going back through Memory Lane. Oh, we're going to do it again. We only, oh, no, no, because, hey, it was hilarious, okay. And since I read that book that asked the question about,

do you realize or can you say you can see God's working in your life? And while we was doing all this, oh, no, not just working. This handprint was everywhere. Miracles. What are you talking about? From our getting together and then getting married and having kids. You know, he turned a cigar wrapper into a ring. Miracles.

No, no, he didn't have done that because she's got a great one now. Got in trouble for wife swapping. Oh, yeah. Oh, I was meaning to talk to you about that. No, no. Yeah. It was just a couple of men and women. They become best friends.

Oh, we heard it. We literally. No, no, I'm serious. We literally lived together. We couldn't lock our door. Okay, because they had a four-year-old daughter named Christina. Okay, because the first time we'd lock it and she couldn't come in, oh, she's through a hissy.

So after that, we couldn't lock the door. A hissy. But no, but it was the deal that we was so close and such a good friend, we was always kidding around. And we did it for the, you know, this is a, what, seven-story building, I think, and we're on the seventh floor. Oh, good night. Well, you know, good for years. We're out, you know, it's just across the hall.

Our windows here, their windows here, stairwells in between us, okay? So we're always laying out, one of the ones, especially when it was hot, okay, because it wasn't such a thing as air conditioning. Okay. And we was always climbing around. What year was this? Huh? What?

It was Germany. Yeah, that'd be 72. 72. Because it was bomb holder, Germany. 1972. This is the kind of stuff we're going, you know. And one of us will start it and say, hey, you're in the mood tonight. You know, and that's me talking to Sharon, his wife.

You know, and. Kids, if you joke around like this, you will get called into the principal. Yeah, you will, yeah, you know. So we would climb around. and, you know, Chuck would say, hey, I just asked you if you wanted to go, you know, in the bedroom have some fun, and you told me no.

You know, no, so look, it was just. I'm glad I don't have any friends, but I'm that close. Hey, we did this all the time, so, hey, here's what happened. I can make those jokes for you. Well, no, no, because you got to understand. No, no, you got to understand. I'm uncomfortable. Okay.

They've got, look, they've got a BMW. one of the souped up that runs good because a guy bought it and then he had done a bunch of stuff to make it run fast. Oh yeah, you're in Germany. Yeah. So anyway, Chevron would drop me off in the morning. Okay. She's a blackhead woman. Okay.

Black hair. Oh. Okay. You got black hair. A redhead woman would pick me up in the same car in the afternoon. Okay. So you got to think of it. about all this going on.

So look, I come in. Do you have a pineapple on your mailbox? Hey, I'm just here. There was some church folk watching Sam. Oh, no, no, no. I come walking in for NCO meeting. Okay. Of course, joking.

Yeah, and Top says, hey, you need to go see the full bird. Top is his first sergeant, by the way. Yeah, and I said, and full bird is a full bird colonel. And I said, hold it. I said, top, what is the last? done that I need to go see the Fulbert Colonel about. Apparently a lot. Yo, he said, look, I'm not going to discuss it with you.

You just go report to the Colonel right now. Well, the same thing is happening at Chuck's unit. Okay, because we've sent two different units, you know. So we had a blast with that the next night because I come in and reporting, your, Specialist Robertson reporting, sir. Have a seat there, Specialist Robertson, you know. Now, tell me about all this wife swapping you got going on in your buildings. I jumped up and I said, what are you, what in the world are you talking about?

He said, hey, don't give me that shock looked. He said, it's all over the post. Oh, I didn't know where he was going there. Hey, nowadays, we'll give you a raise for it, probably. Oh, hey, well, I'm just saying, you know, so we both got home that afternoon. He said, uh, he said, hey, did you get called into your colonel's office? I said, yep. I said, you did too?

He said, oh, yeah. He said, and hey, right now they're just, they're in disbelief about everything. Did you ever snuff out the Tattletail? It finally got cleared up. But you never found out who told on you? Well, we told on ourselves. Always clowning around. We told on ourselves.

Yeah, all that done was telling me, hey, all I know is, I mean, it was a whole deal about I had to sit there and the parade of witness to me. Hey, they would say, only thing I can tell you is, hey, a black-headed woman driving a black BMW drops him off in the morning, and then a good-looking red-headed woman picks him up in the afternoon in the same car. So I don't know what's going on. Is Chuck still with us? Yeah, where's Chuck out? Well, no, no, we tried to find him. Okay. Yeah.

Chuck, Sharon. I'm on it. If somebody listening. Yeah, if somebody knows where they live, please send us the. address and phone number please no we'll give you our address you're coming here you can have my seat well no no hey i'm just saying because i want to know if it was spaghetti or tacos at this that's my big question no no i'm trying to prove you right well no no that's the craziest thing about these stories okay because look i remember distinctly sitting in our apartment on the seventh floor nope and it was spaghetti

Christine remembers that. Sharon was sitting there. Christine was having stomach problems. That's because them tacos was too spicy. No, no. You know, and then Sharon kept telling her, you're pregnant. You know, and Christine said,

hey, I don't know you. I got you. Yeah, I don't told you that I can't have children. That's why it took the idiot 14 hours to finally just wear me down before I finally said yes. Where were they from? Her version was it was tacos and it was at Sharon's house and table.

Where were they from? California. Chuck was from California. I don't know where Sharon originally was from. But that's where they lived when you come back. She was a little, hey, you got to think about that. She probably waited. Maybe she may have hit 100 if you spray her down with the holes.

Okay. But hey. Well, try Charles. Here's what I know. Found them. Are you kidding me? I'm out. We're going to try to find them.

Well, it's not great news. Oh, well, we'll be back right after this. Let's take our first break. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know.

We love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedale's beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. It's our friend, Sal 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. Tritales 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 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, folks. Yeah. Just go to Tribalienable. beef.com slash that's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Was he as funny as you are? Yeah, because here's the thing. When we first met, when we first moved into the building, everybody was talking about how they hated the ones on the top floor on the right. And as y'all.

No, that was Chuck. Oh. Well, when we got up there, then when everybody come in, everybody was talking about, The two that they had it that lived on the top floor. Yeah. I'm just going to be honest. If you lived above me, I'd be miserable. Because you do way too much.

Oh, yeah. No, no. No, no. You do way too much of that. It's funny. No, it's funny that you said that, okay? The MP comes around building all the time for noise. Imagine that.

No, no. Did you have bells? Oh, no, it was the kids. Okay. That's what I'd have said. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, it was the kids.

Because that was why we'd forget and lock the door and then, hey, Christina would go berserk. Oh, man. Okay. It'd have been a wild time. Oh, no. Hey, it was the most fun. We loved it. I guarantee you.

The top floor loved it because everybody's six floors hated us and we didn't care. You didn't have no air conditioner. Did you have an elevator? Huh? No. Walk them stairs. Go to them stairs to the top floor. That's why I told them, I said, hey, look, why didn't you give me something on the bottom floor?

That's because it wasn't nothing available. You've got to get whatever's available there. There you go. I like it. There you go. Yes, the stone, that's what you missed. It was good. But what, you come in my office yesterday telling me about a little procedure.

you had had done. Do you want to share with our people? Well, let me tell you. You don't have to mention names or anything. Let me tell you what. I go up there and I don't remember. Oh, yeah. Christine wanted me to get him to take a picture of my Medicare and Tracare and

try care things and send it to her. And I was on my way up there to see him anyway. You're talking about Stone. Yeah. Okay. And when I pull up, Nan's in the car, she just pulled up. And she come up and laugh and shaking her head. And she said, he's got a story for you.

Now you can continue. Oh, man. Well, it's somewhat embarrassing. Oh, it ain't embarrassing. It's a fact of life. Hey, that's what you do when you work out your whole life? Well, I didn't work out my whole life. Well, you started lately.

No, it's just, it happens when you get old, side. I'm not even going to ask you what year it happened to you, but. He don't remember. We'd have to ask Christine. She would tell you he ain't got it anymore But I've noticed, you know, once I started getting Getting close to 50 That, you know, things change

And you might need a little Little extra motivation, give you a little extra energy You know, kind of dragging around You guys know what I'm talking about But you ain't the horse you used to be That's right, that's right Like what old Toby Keith say He can do it once

I was about how as good once as I ever was, boys. Anyways, they just came out with this new thing where they dropped these pellets, these pellets in your hip, these testosterone pellets. Yep. So when you get low tea and you get old, your tea starts dropping, you know. Yeah. You got to do something about it. You told me the symptoms.

I ain't there yet. Either that or you just sit there and you feel like you're 80 years old and want to sit in your chair and why. watch TV and do nothing else. I don't want to be there. So anyways, they tell me about these pellets. I'm like, okay, we'll try it. See what happens.

Where'd you go to get this time? Well, that's the embarrassing part. As soon as I would found out that a scaffold is involved, I'm out. A scalpel's involved? Yeah, a scaffold's involved. Have you ever been to the gynecologist? I don't even know what a gynecologist is. It's a lady doctor.

It's just a big word for me. It's a lady doctor. It's a lady doctor? Yeah, okay. You're up in to one of them? No. But what I would have asked them, first time I would ask when I said, wait a minute, what's going to happen here? And if they said something about a knife, I'd say, wait a minute, hold it.

This is the day of technology. What happened to the real small needle with a little shot? Well, I can tell you this right now, that knife in that gynecologist office, from my experience, is the least of the concerns. of what happens up in that place. When I went there the first time, but, you know, whatever that was ago, when we found out, I was like, ooh. Anyway, my wife lines this up, okay.

Okay, now it's making a lot of sense. So, she's, her friend is the doctor. Okay. Oh, oh. She's friends with the doctor. Oh, that's a bad situation. After this all happened, I think they're in cahoots. Yeah, I was just saying,

this is a bad situation that your wife has got a good friend, and the good friend is a medical doctor. They were kind of giggling anyway. So anyways. Okay. And giggling is involved. That's bad. Real.

I walk in there and there's like 50 pregnant women in the waiting room. You felt out of place to say the least. Oh, what are you talking about? I'm looking around. I'm like, well, what the world I got myself into? I go up there's signing. They're all smiling. Everybody's smiling.

I mean, all the people smiling. All the people that work there. My wife is friends with all of them. They're all smiling. I'm like, why is everybody smiling? They don't get it. They know. Oh, yeah, they know.

I'm learning something. I knew now was slick, but I didn't know she was that slick. Oh, so I go in there and get in the room and the doctor says, all right, turn towards the wall and show me your cheek. I'm like, so I knew what the procedure was. They said a very slight incision. Okay. A small incision.

And then they dropped the little peasant. And then they just glue it back and put a bandage on it. You're good to go. It's supposed to be like five minutes. You end it out, five minutes. Okay. So I'm like, she gets out this big horse needle first and fills it up with that,

that stuff that makes you numb. It's supposed to be, it's supposed to numb you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, supposed to numb you. So she,

she, I could tell a woman's in a hurry, you know, so I'm like, she's moving fast, you know. So she's shut that in there. You're talking about burn. Burns like, like a cheap bourbon.

Oh, nothing worse. shot that actually burns. Burned like cheap. Yeah. So we got that in there. And she's about, I'd say, a one minute after she did that, she, I felt something stick me.

I'm like, hey, she said, oh, you felt that? I said, yeah, I felt it. She said, okay, we'll give it a little bit, about 10 seconds later, stuck me again. I'm like, hey, I feel it. There ain't nothing deadening there. And she said, well, is it tolerable? I said, I guess. I guess.

As soon as I said, I guess. And move on your part. I mean, she went in with that knife, son. Yeah. I fell to the bit of it. And I'm like, ooh. So, you know, so I get a little bit nauseous. I was like, I said, whoa.

And I said, whoa, Doc, my stomach's tied up in knots. And she's like, well, you're going to peek. I said, I sure hope so for your sake. You're on the wrong end of that. So anyways. Medical stuff. It was pretty bad. I would say, I mean, it wasn't nine out of ten as far as pain goes,

but it was up there around six or seven. Oh, no, no, no. Cutting you with a knife. You know, it's pretty deep cut, I guess. So anyways, when I get done, they heard Doc and my wife over there laughing. They said, oh, he almost threw up. Do you see that? Look at his lips.

Look at his lips. So you two days post-express. Extra tea. Yeah. How you feel? The same except my butt hurts. You got to understand. So so far you don't recommend.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Well, they said give it a couple weeks. I got to say this. So it's like time release. Yeah, time release. You got to understand, Nan has got a lot of robberson blood in her. Oh, yeah, she does, too. Okay.

Yeah, but she ain't going on. She got the bad side of the robberson blood. The mean side. Well, no. Pain tolerance. That meanness comes from them. No, the pain tolerance part. Yeah, that is true.

Okay, because Phil goes to Dennis and lets them drill and everything with no numbing. No numbing. Okay, so Nan has got that in her veins. That's why she's over a life and watching him when he's winking and said, I felt it. Because, you know, she also giving birth three times. That's right. I'm sure this ain't nothing.

Because I was stolen had said that, said, hey, she don't never, never, no whimpering and no, oh, oh. No, well, he wasn't it. He's never heard that from her. Ah, I don't got a pain. Not only that, but I think I've heard her laugh out loud like three times. Oh, no. Lapping at you? No, no.

No, no. That's another thing. Yeah. Laugh out loud. I mean, she'll smile and bounce up and down a little bit, but no laughing. People in my, in our life, in our family, okay. Dad was the first one, okay. He would be shaking, he looked like he was having an epileptic fit.

What? And having crocodile tears coming out of his eyes, and there wouldn't be a sound coming out of him. And Tommy was the other one. I don't think, me and Phil, Phil, Phil, I don't think I've ever heard Tommy laugh out loud. Like funny, ha, ha, ha, ha, you know, no. Ain't going to happen. Ain't going to happen.

One what? Ha, ha, ha. Hey, he don't get tickled. Yeah. It doesn't get tickled. Well, there you go. Yeah. Well, we're glad that you survived your little procedure.

Yeah. Yeah, it was... I've laughed since you walked in my office still about half... Half kicked up from it, so it was good. No, he's always telling me. He said, yeah, doesn't happen. He come in limping. I was like, wrong.

No, no, we were supposed to go fishing, and he... And I said, what's wrong? He said, all I was doing... A guy pulled a maneuver on me, and next time I happened, I heard, a move... A maneuver. And he said, and I had a real pop out of place. And the man that just walked over and said, hey,

Take a deep breath, and he popped it back in place. Yeah. Yeah. No. Martinez. Yeah, that's good. And I said, every time I see you, you're always going, oh, I shouldn't have done that.

I said, now you tell me, you're going to the doctor and they put a scaffold on you. And then it didn't even wait until deaden it. Yeah. Yeah. But they were in cahoots. They all got a big kick out of it. Got a big kick out of it. Let's take a break.

We'll come back. The girls are having fun. There is. All it matters. Show are us guys. We'll be back. That's right. Stop looking at my computer, sir.

Well, okay. Hey. You've got great here. Well, no, I'm interested in this. Okay, so. We tried to find them. I tried to find them during a break. I have a phone number.

I think Ms. Sharon is no longer with us, but I think I have Chuck's phone number. We're not going to call it right now. But I think it's in it. We'll report back. I don't know if any of this is going to make it. No. That would be pretty awesome. It would.

No, no. I'm rooting for it to have. Everything is adding up because I'm just looking at the name there, Sharon Elma. It's all adding. And I think it's, I think her middle name was Melissa. Sharon Melissa. Okay. But the one to ask would be Christine for.

Well, that's true. We're not even sure what kind of ring you gave your wife. Well, I'm just telling you, hey. Hey. Taco. I'm honest about it. I said, I think it's Melissa. It may be something else.

We have no idea. That's been, what, 72 how many years ago? Good night. 50? 50? 50 years ago, buddy. Bud. So back to my original query at the start of this.

I just want to know, Stone was back from vacation. Oh, yeah. How was Robertson family vacation at the beach without Willing Corrie? I say Willie's bust and got so big that they have their own. on now. Yeah. And, you know, our bunch is getting bigger. It was Jason and his family, Jeff and his family, Al and his family, and M.

M. M.O. K. and her sister A.N. Ann. And all the kids that come with them. So, I mean, what, total was there. Oh. Good night. I want to say, no. Yeah, probably about 30. Yeah.

Right at that, yeah. Oh, yeah. About 30 count the kids, no. But, you know, Jason is a grandpa now. Did you know that? Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah, Jayce is a grandpa. I wasn't sure if he knew him.

He is a grandpa. What did they name the daughter? Maris. Who? Maris. Maris? Yep. Like Merritt.

But with an ex. Oh, Merritt. Did they name it after Sy? I don't, I don't think so. No. I think they just, you know, they kind of named after Sy's mama a little bit, maybe. Oh, Merritt. Is it Marit?

No. No, there's no T. No T. Where yours has a T, there's an S. Yeah. Maris. Maris. Merris.

Okay. There you go. Oh, yeah. But anyways, I bade the statement to Al. I said, you know, this is the first time I played golf in four years. And I think it was also the first time I played golf where I actually had fun. Did you win? No.

Oh. I lost every time. There you go. I came in dead last every time. Dead last, boys. Really? Yeah. Hey, somebody's got to be there.

Do you have a partner? Yeah. Who was that? Most of the time, it was Al and Reed. And then one day it was Jep and Reed. But Jep got a little plump. He's having a tough time swinging the club. Oh, plump.

I will say, I saw a picture of him the other day. The boy's gotten a little healthy since he got over there. Oh, he's been eating good. He got good barbecue in Texas. Yeah, they do. And lots of it. But anyways, we went to the. the beach, you know, Jason, fishing off the beach.

Everybody was real pleasant. It was a, it was actually a very enjoyable week. Well, there you go. That's good. Everybody needs one of them. Yeah. And I was going into it with a positive attitude the whole way. You know, I think that was a.

I'd have something to do with it. Yeah. Did they catch any, did they catch any fish? No, no, he didn't catch doodley squat. Did they, didn't catch that. All right, boys. Well, gobbling was just right down the beach from y'all. He didn't catch nothing.

either. He said, I watched it. Well, he was watching the ones that was fishing, and they didn't catch them. Yeah, he didn't even bother going on. He was letting a scout. You would think I would have a story to tell about the vacation. I just, I just can't think of one. I mean, nothing stands out.

That's because of Sire wasn't there. That's a good vacation, though. Yeah. Yeah. That's because Sire wasn't there. They wasn't there. Oh, I did ride back with Jace. Well, how big of those sand crabs?

What? Sand crabs? Yeah. About like it's a little bell. Are you serious? Yeah. Is that right? Am I talking about, is it sand, not crab, sand fleas. Oh, sand fleas.

Oh, yeah. They look like a little armadillo almost. But they're not very big. About like that. Size of a quarter. Or some of them a little bit bigger than that. Size of a quarter, say? Oh, yeah, but they're neat looking little critter.

Oh, okay. But for some reason, they were hard to catch this year. well it wasn't where John was at off the same way of John was that he said David was running everywhere oh Godwin was yeah that's where San Flee's ain't made it to the redneck Riviery.

So how would you ride backward? Oh yeah I didn't forget all about that so I had to split my kids up and I drove Jason's truck while he worked on his whatever he's working on podcast or whatever and my wife and my youngest one

rode in the back. We made it back in six hours. Good time. We stopped one time. Nobody ever said a word hardly the whole way. It was great. On the other hand, my other two kids rode with Mamma okay. Oh, Lord.

They still ain't. And the lady that drove them down there. Well, nine and a half hours. It took them to make that trip. How fast? How long was y'all? Six to nine and a half. And when my kids got back, they said,

ooh, that was the worst trip I've ever had. What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm playing with these Flint airheads. Anyways. So it's gone off the rail. Yeah, yeah. Can't keep him on.

Where'd you get those airheads? From Avery, from Austin, Texas. Oh, that's cool. I don't think that's what it does. Anyways, I have nothing. Yep, Austin and Avery from Texas. So low-key, vaguely. That's always a good thing.

No, I'm not. Uh-oh. Florida. Anyways. Wrong state. I have to apologize. It's terrible vacation stories, but nothing really happened. Hey, that is a good vacation.

If nothing happens. When you can get that many people together and nothing happens, that's a good thing. Yeah. Generally at some point, somebody does something. That's right. Somebody gets in a fight or something or somebody ain't happy. They're crying or whatever. Somebody tripped and hurts himself.

That's because I wasn't there slamming dominoes on their head and everything else. Well, now that'll get hurt. You'll get hurt playing dominoes with Robertsons. Oh, yeah. We've broke tables, broke dominole, and broke bones. You broke bones playing dominoes? Oh, yeah. Oh, I don't like to broke his thumb.

That's not true. It is true. Yeah, it is true. He broke his thumb? Oh, yeah. We've busted tables, son. Because when you get a 35-cary, you jump up and come from the top. You never seen him play dominoes?

I don't. It's a sight to behold. Very intense. note, Google, when did Dominole start? I bet it's in the ancients. Yeah, let's find out when Domino started on this break. We'll be back right after this. Yeah.

Hey, Sa, how many friends do you have? I mean, friends? Yeah. Like, when you say friends, like, real friends. Probably not many. Do you play Domino's with them? No, that's family. I probably did not have, that would,

I wouldn't even get past three. Which of us is getting? No, no, I'm serious. You're out. No, no, no. When you say friends, you can depend on him any time whatever you need. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm a single-digit man myself. Well, no, I probably wouldn't go higher than three. I'm serious. You know, I'm looking at, you know, I know you're one. Mark, I'm if. Okay. You're in. No, no.

Phil McMillan's. Two. Is Phil on there? Oh, yeah, Phil. What about your brother? No, that's family. That ain't fair. No, family don't matter.

Family don't matter. Okay. Yeah, family don't even come into friendship. Not in the Robertson. This is a road I'm ready to go. This is going to be good. This is much better than wind of dominance. Well, no, no, I'm just saying, hey, you know, when you say, most people need to clarify or define what they,

when they say friendship, you need a definition of it. My definition of it is whatever happens, I can call you any time of the night or morning, and you'll be there. That's friendship.

Yeah. Because there's not many people and like me, I fell at it sometimes. Yeah, you'll straight lie to somebody. You know, I'm talking about. One time I tried to come. Do you realize what time it is?

I ain't coming. You know, call somebody else. But I'm just saying, you know, and family don't come into that. Yeah, I was saying about that. I mean, if you really think about it. Well, Jesus had 12. Yeah. So I looked at that.

That's a pretty good number. Well, he had 12 followers. There was an inner circle to that, though. Yeah, there was. There was an inner circle of the 12. And there was more than 12 because there was a couple women hanging out too and some other gang. Well, there's always riffraff. Riffraff.

Yeah, there's always riffraff in every. You just called Mary Magdal and Riff Raff. I didn't call her that. You made the assumption I was talking about her. I love it. She may have been Riff. She may not have been Raff. She might not have been Raff.

Okay, so what were you saying? I was saying about family. Family don't come in with friendship. Okay, that's family ship. That's blood kin. Blood kin. And really, because the reason I say that, in my military career, I've seen a lot of it, okay?

Their father or mother would die. They would take leave to go home to take care of business and grieve. And a few of them would come back like two days later. And I said, hey, they ain't no way. And he said, hey, I ain't going to stay back there and watch my siblings fight over the little bit of money that Daddy made when he was alive. They can have it. you know it's a disgrace that they're fighting and i came there to bury my father for crying out loud

you know because i'm telling you when money's involved people change i'll preach well no no i'm just saying you know and you know because my parents okay i was very close to my mother dad and me we had issues okay because he was what i was what i were call a hard man, just like Phil is. Okay. No, no emotions. Don't, emotions don't come into play, you know. Like, that's the way that, but that was the raise, my father was raised.

Be a man. You can't cry. Holy, what do you mean I can't cry? If I'm hurting, I can. You know, so I don't ever fill the bill of a man. Says who? Well, no, I'm just saying to the start. Randers back, you know, for like my father.

I consider you a pretty good man. Well, no, no. I'm just saying I always, I'm my worst in me, though, okay? Yeah. Because I'm always comparing myself to other people that I've met, and I don't stack up. Oh, you stack up. Okay. No, because I, and I'll do this for the veterans.

Oh, we got two stacks of how we put a belt around. No, no, because I, I, the veterans. The reason that my father's generation was called the greatest generation ever, okay, is they all got on whatever would float across the ocean to fight and free some people that was oppressed. Yeah, yeah. And I remember growing up a child and watching those men, okay? Yeah.

We're missing that today, okay, in my humble opinion. Okay, because back then, they would give you the shirt off their back, you know, and anything else they had if you needed it. Nowadays, they give you the shirt off their back and steal your shoes. That's right. Well, they'll steal everything you got. They get you distracted by that shirt. But friendship, okay, back on friendship, friendship.

friendship. Friendship is a rare and precious, okay, commodity. Yeah, I would agree with it. Which, as far as I'm concerned, there's no price tag on it. Okay, you can't get there. Okay, because money is not involved. You know, and like there's a lot of gun problems going on right now. It's what everybody's talking about, and it's not a gun problem. It's a people problem.

People, gun, and people. Okay, yeah. It's people being people. Okay, now, are guns involved in it? Yes. But if you take the guns, if you took all the guns of the world away from them, they would still find a way to kill each other. Because before we had guns, they did it with bow and arrows, axes,

and whatever, you know. Our society is sick, number one, okay. Number two, we have a love problem. You know, and you would think this is 22. You would think we could look back through our history and become better. We don't. We keep repeating the same stupid evil. At a much higher rate these days.

Yeah, yeah. And it seems it's much, much worse because, hey, because of technology. Yeah, because you know about it. You know about it instantly, okay? And I'm going to say one more thing about that. Hey, our schools need to put locks on some kind of locking devices on the doors to protect our children that are in school. because when someone is as a shooting starts,

lock it down where they can't get in. You know, that would be one way to help. Okay. I agree. I didn't know where he's going there. Well, hey, but I like it.

At the time, that's what hit. Hey, that's the cool thing about it. Share whatever gets on your heart. And if that's on your heart, that's a cool thing. And it's something that needs to be talked about more so than, Well, we've got a lot of mental problems out there in the world, okay? You know, I've got mental problems, okay?

You know, just being honest, okay? I struggle with stuff, and everybody I know struggles with something. Amen. Yeah. So we need to address that because, hey, like I said, if you could do it, if you took all the guns away, all of them, we would still figure out a way to kill each other because we've got a love problem.

Yeah. Okay. Next, you just use your truck to boil those through a bunch of people. Oh, no. That seems to be trendy. It's going to be trending. Yeah. Then you'd use the...

You're going to use what's available. If you've got that much hate, we've got so many hate crimes going on right now. Yeah? Where does this all come from? Self. it comes from self well i know but that's where it all comes from yeah yeah yeah no it's it's the truth yeah because because you come up and you do something evil to a person you don't even know for

crying out loud yeah love one another yeah that's out they missed out on that well it you know feels has it all the time it's this they wonder why it's always the same answer it's the evil one they always blame the wrong one there's two supreme beings or i should they're say there's four supreme beings. There's God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and then there's the evil one. Okay. He ain't supreme. He was defeated.

And, hey, he does all the bad stuff, people. If you read the Bible, all you'll ever see there is God wants what's best for you. Amen. Check it out. If you don't believe that, check it out. I can give you some verses. Jeremiah 29, verse 8, you have no idea of the plans I have for you, not to harm you, but to prosper you and give you hope and a future, says the Lord. That's just one.

Jesus come down and says, I came down to give you life, not just to give you life, but to give it to you abundantly. Overflowing. Not to condemn. Yeah. And look, that's the best part of it. You know, everybody knows John 316. For God's the love of the way, sin he's only one son, okay. The truth should ever believe in him, you know.

But you need to read 17. This is the Savior of the world. Jesus didn't come down to judge you. He came down to save you. Okay. That's why I always tell people, okay. Hey, you're not qualified to judge another individual. You see what's going on in the world.

day you just go read Romans 1 and it'll explain a lot I agree let's take a break we'll get in that inbox we'll be back right after this hey let's get in that inbox Johnny D what we got J.D Ben in Indian land South Carolina

Indian land South Carolina I've been saving this one because a friend of mine was on vacation and you wanted him to answer really enjoy listening to the podcast need some advice lately I really just feel like I don't like people I work six days a week

I'm sorry we're all laughing because Stone's here That's a joke we do maybe Stone loves people I don't know how I got that risk I work six days a week and have to deal with people daily in my job when I get off I don't want to be around anybody except my wife and kids

It feels like God has been telling me lately To love everybody But it's really hard True I know y'all talk about Stone Not enjoying being around people and would like some advice of what to do.

That might be a little overblown, by the way, on Stone's dislike for people. It is. It's just certain people. It's just certain people. But that's a good question. I'll say this. If Stone likes you, you know it. If Stone don't like you, you know it.

If he's ambivalent, that just means he ain't got an opinion of it. The politicians are always saying what that is. What is that? That Stone is portrayed as. Okay, if he likes you, he likes you. If you don't, he don't. And he don't.

Yeah. Manor Western. Clarity is what the word I'm looking for? I don't know. You're clear. Your motives are clear. Clear motive. You don't got a guess.

Anyway, he needs advice. He's tired of being around people. Yeah, I got some good advice for him, you know. That's why I said this one's on you. So, we talked about having friends earlier. And I admit, I'm a single-digit man. It was funny when you asked that because I already had this email plan today. Oh, that's funny.

But anyways, but like Siah was telling the story about his friends, he had to army and how much fun they had. But when you have good friends, that real friends, you make those memories that will last a lifetime. Yeah. And you pass them on to your kids. They'll be telling stories. But anyways, as far as putting up with people,

tolerating is, I would say, a better word. I have learned to laugh at people. Instead of getting mad at them, I've learned to laugh at them. Like when I get in my rig and drive down the road, I always run across at least one idiot. Every time I crank it up, I crank it up and I tell myself, I'm going to run into an idiot. It just a matter between here and work. It happens every day. And instead of getting mad and honking the horn and running up on the rear end, I just laugh.

laugh. I said, yep, there he is. I found it. There he. Yep, got a phone in their face. You know, yep, okay. That's one. Now, the one that tested me the other day, I was sitting at the red light waiting to go, okay? Light turns green, the car in front of me. Still sitting there.

Still sitting there. Still sitting there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I started to lay on the horn. I said, you know what? I'm going to be real patient, and I'm just going to laugh. Well, that turn signal went from green to yellow to red. And we're still sitting there And we're still sitting there And I'm the second car in line

And I'm just laughing So But I eventually got to turn And you know what It didn't cost me anything But I just had to be patient That's it I just had to be patient

And your blood pressure did not go up in it Did not go up So here's my advice to you Be patient And laugh Because You're gonna see them And they're there

They're everywhere. Just don't get mad at them. Laugh at them. That's so funny because I was going to say, when people, when I'm out, they'll ask me, tell me, leave me with some very good advice there on the side. And I said, well, okay, here's a deal. You need to learn to laugh at people. And then you also need to learn to laugh at yourself.

That's right. Because you ever once in that category, you're in that category when you pull some stupid. bitch, don't. Oh, I laugh at myself all the time. Because if I would have been sitting there, I'd been dying laughing watching him sitting on an idiot that sat in a red light, and it went from red to green and then back to red, and he still sitting there, and the guy behind me is just laughing. That's what happened.

Yeah. Because my first news think would have been, the light is green. You know. So that's our. advice. Yeah. It's laugh. And I would say, my advice, you don't, like, I don't think there's anything wrong with having

single-digit friends. Like, that's a good thing. You don't need to be by yourself. But Stones, he said, single-digit, man, that's fine. I know if you have stones really close friends. I'm not on Stone's inner circle. But even Jesus had the inner circle and then he had some outside of that. So you do need friends, Ben, because it's tough out there by yourself.

Oh, yeah. So just find you a couple that you really like. Yeah, because it's don't. only you against the world then. You don't want that. You don't want that. You don't want to be alone. Okay. Yeah.

Anything, Martin? I can't add nothing to that. Can't add? Just laugh at them. And laugh at the end. And every, I do believe that every human has, is born with some good in them. You know?

They are. They are. What did feel you say about you, though? Stone came out of the womb, looking at everybody a little sideways. I wouldn't have done. It's done it like that. He said, I don't know about this.

Yeah, I don't know about it. See, he looked at the doctor, told him he did it wrong. Oh, yeah. Or I looked at him and said, hey, don't you dare slap me. Don't you do it? Don't you do it? Don't you dare slap me? Yeah, no, I laugh, too.

I see my wife is one of them, like, side. It got a little road rage issue. Oh, no, no, no. I admitted it open. I know, I know. And so does she. And I just laugh. I mean, when I'm kind of like, I do.

get mildly irritated. It just really stupid stuff like that would have, that would have bothered me. I don't know that I'd have laughed. I'd have gotten really close to their back bumper. I'd have giggled. But, I mean, like, when people cut you off and all that, I'm just like, man, whatever. Somebody's going 45 and a 60. I'm like, whatever.

I'll get around them when I can. So that's better to do. But I ain't ever one that's like trying to be on time. So, like, I'm always early. If I got to be somewhere at three. I'm going to leave in plenty of time. We all learn from side. Yeah, I mean, I just, that's always

where I've been. Thinking about that. Don't get in a hurry. Right when I first, before I come up here, guess what's, a commercial was on the TV. Oh, Lord.

And they're trying to perfect a car that drives itself totally. Oh. Yep. I thought she was going to say life a lot. No. No, and I'm looking at it, and I said, first of all,

why would you want to do that? I see you can I don't know seeing text and work and sleep and drive all night I don't drive far enough for that I don't either

I'll use Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 1 there's a time for everything there's also a place for everything he's on fire today by the way I'm just saying

I love it if you're going to use the phone pull over put your vehicle in park and call whoever you want to and talk to them as long as you want to to get what you need done. Don't be going down the road and come by me because it actually makes me mad and actually scares me

because you're endangering the people on the highways. If you're sitting there doing this on the phone and you are sitting in the driver's seat. Don't text them. One out of five. One out of five are doing it. Oh, no. I see them come by all the time.

And I'm looking and said, And you're fixed us, you know, because she ain't looking and the traffic has stopped. You know, and I'm saying, baby, you're fixed. Oh, she's finally looked up. Yeah. There you go. There you go. We got time for another?

Nah, I'd just send us on out of here. Send us on out. Hey, chance. Congratulations on your baby. There you go. We might go back to your question next week. All right, I got us a Bible verse. Although, Cy, you've had like seven.

Do you have any more? No. All right. I'm going to Ecclesiast. with you. That's a good place. Because it does feel dark. Right. And like you turn on the news and it just feels it's depressing. It is. And that's where darkness, that's where you go.

But Solomon says this in Ecclesiastes 1-9, what has been will be again. What has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun. God's not up there going, oh my goodness, what do they do? I didn't see this I don't know how to, he's got this. So if you're ever just, you know, the other day I was watching something, I was like, is this what the world's come to? Like, Jesus, come back now, which I'm still cool with.

Come on back. He didn't. I've always wanted to like that to happen. But you just got to remember, God's not surprised by any of this. Yeah. If you don't go to the spiritual side of life, okay, this place will, it will be, it'll be depressing for you. Yep.

Amen. All right, we'll see y'all next time right here. We're out.
