that's right you have anything to tell the people your opening statement this is it this is your chance I love Abe Lincoln there we go I love Lincoln okay all right there we go After all, but he actually got assassinated the worst theater in the world. Death theater is not what I call it because of death actors. Yeah, well, he did get assassinated so he can't talk to him.

Also, he'd be about 200 years old. Yeah, but size is still here. Hey, but just think of the wisdom he would have. Who, Abraham Lincoln? Yeah, 200 years old. He probably had a lot back then. Yeah. Actually, he might be, so he was born in 1809, and then he might be

2005. I'm at 15 years old. So you're just 15th. February 12th, 1809, that was the year Abraham Lincoln was born. This is my son. Praise God. He knows a lot of facts about a lot of presidents. There is hope for America. And Abraham Lincoln will be 215 if he was still alive today. He had no idea that he was born in 1809.

Carter, great. Unbelievable. Good job. Actually, in second grade, it told us the year he was born. And also the year he was, you know. Assassinsame. You can say that. You're trying not to talk, you know, about violence and stuff.

Yeah, we can talk about true history, though. That did happen. So you love Abe Lincoln. Is Abe your favorite president? Yeah. George Washington's my second. George Washington's number two. Let's just go for top three.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Number three is Donald Trump. Okay. But it's yummy after he got shot for the first time. Number two is George Washington and also number one's Abraham. Of course. Okay.

Of course. Okay. I'm noticing a pattern. most of his favorites have been shot at. He likes tough men. Interesting. I like it. Actually, actually, like, A.

First Assassination was his last one. That was the last time he got shot at for sure. Well, he got, actually, he also got shot when he was riding a horse in the middle of the woods. Actually, his hat got shot. And when he got home, Tad, Tad was like, man, you're really lucky wear that tall hat. I can see a hole. I did not know that story.

Yeah. And I did not know that that Todd was at Ford's Theater. Why, even my accent president book? Like, he didn't look like that, but he was that. And I'm like, that guy has long hair. How is he dad? I don't know. Hey, I have a question for you.

How many president books do you own? Let me count him. Well, just give me a rough estimate. Five. Okay, just five. Yeah, one of A, Brieke, two Abreaker books, which was Lassen to book, and two books

about all the presidents. Okay. And actually, another one is weird about true present facts. That's true. And actually, another one is about that text. All right, Sa's got a question. Yeah, I got a question for you, Carter, okay.

You've been elected president. What would you, on your first inaugural address, what would you tell the people? That, thanks for voting me. and hope for them to vote me next year. That's right. He's already campaigning. Yeah.

Well, you're never not campaigning, right? I mean, in theory. Thanks for voting for me. Go ahead and run this one back. Let's run it again. And also, if I die, please just please go to my funeral. There you go. Hey, there you go.

It's a bell. Look, that's the least thing, dude, if you done died for the car. Or if I died in office because of, because of, um, I don't get a shooter's name yet because because I hadn't got assassinated. Oh yeah, he doesn't know the shooter's name yet. Arder, would you wear a tall hat? Why would I do that? Don't go way back in the 17th. He's not, hey, he doesn't move forward. Or 19. Yeah, that's not stylish anymore, Philip. He ain't got to wear a tall hat. So what's the first rules you're making? When you're president, We got some new rules coming in.

What are we going to do? They're hard to explain. Oh, boy. Why are they hard to explain? Because, like, it's based of things I really hate. Oh, you're getting rid of some things that you don't like? Like homework? Why would I get rid of homework?

I thought that would be a good rule. I like that rule. I would vote for a president who said no more homework. You had graduated college years ago, so. Yeah, and it only took him six years, as he told you that part yet. Easy. Easy. Easy.

Carter, you just come visit me when you need no stuff about your dad. I got a lot. He does. He does. You got about Trumps and Abe Lincoln's? I don't know. I don't have any trumps. I do have a lot of Abe Lincoln's, the $5 bill.

He's a very polite guy before entering a room. He just goes, hey, I'm out here. Does anybody hear me? He believes in Abraham Lincoln's. ghost is haunting the White House. Yeah, I have this book about Abe Wicked's Ghost. The famous side, the most famous side was like, when

the Queen of the Netherlands just opened the door and he said, hi, and then he just slammed it right in his face. And they said, ow. I don't know what any of that means. And then the Queen fainted. The Queen slammed the door in the States. And Abraham Lincoln's Ghost were hanging out at some point.

No, they weren't really hanging out. They were talking to Theodore Roosevelt and then they heard a knock And then the queen just opened the door And then fainted and slammed the door Right in Abe's face The other question that the people Listened in this podcast want to know is

Why do you wear this suit so much? Because it reminds me of A Bleak and all the other questions Well, except for the bad words Like Andrew Jackson And Biden Oh, Andrew Jackson and Biden Oh, Andrew Jackson and Biden.

Those are you the two on your hit list? Yeah, like, he kicked the Indians. Indians, like, more like, um, West. Okay. Forgot my directions. What did Joe Biden do? Oh, he did, he was just boring. He was just boring.

Oh, your problem with Joe Biden is he's just boring? Yeah, and really, really annoying. I think he is more edgy. on the election at 10 and a half, then I'm going to go with roughly 30% of the electorate. Or more. Or more. I'm putting the bottom at 30.

I will fix that. With plenty of room for improvement. It's hard. Yeah. And we try to not let him learn so much because we want him to learn about kid stuff. Hey, don't give me a dirty look. You know a lot for a kid. Yeah.

I know about, like, I know about. the never mind. Okay. What's your favorite subject in school, Carter? I'm interested. Social studies.

Well, that fits. She does a baby. I was really hoping we could go down a science road maybe. Oh, no, you want to hear about his math teacher? Math, what happened in math? What's her name? My math teacher is very annoying.

Why? She does She does it. A lot of work. What do you call her? Miss works a lot. Miss works a lot. But I just definitely you normally call it a miss.

Just because I go away and get in trouble. That's a good idea. By whom I call her Miss Works a lot. Well, hey, maybe Miss Works a lot was kin to Abe because he worked a lot. There you go. Maybe. I thought when you, if you became president, you can make a no homework rule. that way Ms. Works a lot couldn't give you a lot of homework.

Okay, we need homework, Dad. Oh, wow. Now my man's added homework to his agenda. I like it. We need homework, but Ms. Works a lot makes us work too much. But we need it. Why do we need homework? So we could study.

That's a good point. For our tests and quizzes and A.R. Test. Do you make pretty good grades? Yeah. Do you think Donald Trump made pretty good grades? Well, he's very tough. Do you think Joe Biden made pretty good grades?

Well, not his president grade. Oh, boy. What did he do that you don't like? You said he was a bad president. Oh. Oh, throwing strays at dad, okay. Well, what did dad not like about him then? I'm interested.

No, inflation. Yeah. Hey, uh-uh, we're not interviewing me here. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. You're the subject of this podcast. 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, Sao Robertson, would say,

buy on the grill look before we got tritails 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 to them but with tritails 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 Trial'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 trybeef.

slash that's try beef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Carter, did we go to the moon? Yeah. Oh, there you go, dad. You know, your dad thinks that we didn't go to the moon. Dad, we used to go to history crash. Oh, you got another famous person you need to talk about. Uh-oh.

Because there's another pretty important date in American history that you like to study about. It was a bad day, right? Yeah, Lucas. Lucas something. I don't know his last name. I don't know what you're talking about now. What event are you talking about? I'm talking about 9-11.

Oh, okay. Yeah. So you know a lot about 9-11, don't you? Yeah. Who was the fire captain? That was Peter Gansy. Peter. It's a guy named Chief Douglas in the I survived book.

Okay. But Peter Gansy, he was pretty much a hero, right? Yeah. So what did Peter Gancy do, though? He shaped a lot of life. He did. Is that him? Yeah, that picture's in his room.

Really? Yeah. I do have a question for you, though. How do you think, because we get this comment a lot, Carter, they're like Uncle Si for president. If you're just looking at this guy, how do you feel about his chances of president? He's pretty tough. Wait.

Which way is he left or right? Uh-oh. Well, he's wearing blue, so, you know, take a shot. He looks pretty much like Andrew Johnson and Andrew Jackson together, but he looks like he makes a great president. He looked like you make a good president. If Andrew Johnson and Andrew Jackson had a baby, it would be Cy Robertson. You heard it here first, people.

Since you're so into presidents, Carter, who's the only president from Louisiana? James Monroe. He was born in Monroe. He wasn't born in Monroe. Dude, why is his last name, Monroe? I think that's just a coincidence. I thought it was Zachary Polk. Am I wrong on this?

Did we have two? James Monroe was not born in Monroe. But I like your answer. He said it with confidence. Yeah, he did. He said it was such confidence we were all over. I thought we only had one. I thought it was Zachary Polk.

Is that not? And he, like, succeeded somebody? He was born in Monroe, Virginia. Monroe, Virginia. Got you thrown off. Okay. What about President? Roosevelt.

How do you feel about Roosevelt? Yeah, he's pretty a good president. I saw a picture of him like this. He was a roofriders. Richard Nixon also did this while walking out of a plane. Richard Nixon did that while walking out of a plane? Yeah, they took a picture of him anyways.

It's on his way to the Watergate Hotel, right? What do you know about Watergate? Is that in Hurricane on the Bayou? I have no idea what that is. That's a water park. Hard to say, really. I think I like it. I think I like it too.

Best asking what you liked about Disney World. I like Tower of Terror. Tower of Terror. And Guardians of the Galaxy. You would know it's my least people movie. But the right's actually good. Terrible movie, Great Rock. Why is it a terrible movie?

Chris Pratt is not going to like to hear that. I say never mind. Why is it a terrible movie? There is a very long story. Very long story? Yeah, a lot of things I hate about it. Well, tell me about rhinos. I heard that you love rhinos.

Oh, yeah. They're good at boxing matches. Good at boxing matches? Rino's box? All right, you and I got mine. more in common than I thought. Okay. Wait,

here, hold it. I'm confused. I thought, I thought kangaroo was the ones that boxed. Yeah, and they also boxed. Okay. Went to Rino's box.

Well, obviously getting right of in fights with other rhinos. So in a boxing match, rhino versus kangaroo, who takes down the title? Um, so kangaroos,

they could jump for it, but rhinos, they got, horns on their nose to ram them out. I think it will be rhinos forever. You think the rhino will win? You've got a pretty tough nose if he's got a horn on it.

Dude, when time you win in a fight with a hippo, and he did not give up, well, it's a hurricane appeared. A hurricane. What channels are you watching? He's in size of it now. I love this. It was from a book. I love this.

Yeah, it was from a very, very... There was a hippo and a rhino boxing and a book and then a hurricane showback. That's right. Yeah. And, hey, they have to call it for the hurricane. Yeah. It's fights over.

It's fight's over with. We'll regain it later. Hurricane justice of a boxing match now. Are you going to run for president at the age of 35? Yeah. You're waiting. The first chance you get, you're going for it. How old will I be?

55? Well, I think you got a lot of people that'll vote for you. Carter said, hey, I'm going to do it when I'm 35 that way. Hey, I, you know, I get like, hey, four times, four terms. Okay. You're going to run for president four times? Right. That actually happened to Franklin D. Roosevelt.

It happened to Franklin D.R. And it was really old. It got really old. Really old, yeah. That's why you only get two terms now, huh? Yeah. I guess the country couldn't handle four times in a row. Yeah. If he was that good.

Yeah, it was allowed. Yeah, it was allowed back then. Now we just go two. Two. All right. Well, give us your closing thoughts right here before the election. Give us Carter Owens closing speech. Oh, wait about the election.

About whatever you want, really. This is your chance. Yeah. Shoot a shot. I took a picture of a speech, but I did not bring the iPad because Mom would let me. And what a bummer. Mom, come on, Mom. But you had a speech on your iPad ready?

Yeah. Oh, is it the one? I took a picture out in third grade. Okay. Yeah, no, I've heard that speech. It's a pretty good one. Yeah. It kind of combines all the other speeches together, doesn't it?

Well, I didn't make it? Hey, I didn't make it. It was like the book that made it. Okay. Well, Carter, thanks for coming on, man. Thank you, Carter. Thank you, Carter. We appreciate you, dude.

Thanks, big, bro. It's been just a fantastic day, Carter, and, hey, Carter, do you? Yes. We're voting for you. Yay. That's that. We salute you, Carter.

Yeah. There you go. Wow. We can breathe. That was awesome. Allison can breathe. I can't imagine how that is for you, because, like, my kids have been on this podcast.

They can talk. Like, I mean, they can babble. They can, but like, Carter coming here spitting full of sentences. He's so literal. Oh, yeah. I love it. Like, I mean, because that's what kids are. Like, they don't, there's no, there's no metaphor in their life yet.

So it's just like. Oh, there's never been a metaphor in his life. I mean. He's not, he can't grasp like, it's, it's, there's, you know. I love it. It's impressive. And he's never forgot anything. So if he reads it, it's in there.

Yeah. And it's not, and it takes him a second to get it out, but he knows it. His grasp of U.S. history is next level. It's deep. And I loved his sense of humor, too, because he would, you know, when he's talking to his dad, he's like, dad. I can only imagine, though, like on the way up here just because the way he acted, the conversations of him and Allison. What was Allison saying? I can't say that.

What was Allison saying to him? Don't, don't, don't. Yeah. There was a lot of don'ts on the way I heard about. Allison's like, I'm trying to coach him. I just let them do it. We can edit it out.

Well, it's a well-known fact. Allison doesn't like our podcast anyway. You got to understand, though, he's, you know, with kids,

okay, if it's, you know, no filter. None. He has none. No filter. So if he's got something on his mind,

he says it, okay, and literally, okay, at 10 and a half, he's scary, you know, way.

Yeah. I'm serious. Why we waited until episode. Oh, he knows history and, you know. Oh, and he is in love with history. And that's why Allison was telling him we're not going to talk about, because he gets caught up on the fact that somebody did try and shoot Donald Trump. Oh, yeah.

He didn't say the guy's name. He brings the guy's name up a lot. That guy's a bad guy because he tried to shoot the former president, maybe the next president. and so Carter gets hung up on that and then he's like, why would he do such a thing? And then he starts talking about John Will's booth and then all of them. And he just,

it's, he's interesting to parent because you don't want your kid, you know, watching the news. Right. You want him being a kid. That's like today's version. Yeah,

but he loves the news. And he loves it. And so you try and filter it in a positive way. And he's just an interesting. And well, no, because you think about it. Okay, because like that, a president,

well, hey, look, Boar's going to be the last resort. Yeah. So when you think, okay, wait a minute, this kid is 10, half years old, and he's talking about, you know, so, you know, it's the deal about, hey, you know,

and in his mind, he said, well, you know, why is everybody trying to kill Trump? He don't get it. Yeah. Why are they trying to kill him? My favorite part, though, is the innocence of the truth that's in. Because it's nothing but the truth is he knows it.

Like there's no, there's no, what's the word I'm looking for? Like there's no preconceived notion about anything. He's just reading and reporting. Like he's putting these facts in his brain. Pureity. And yeah, it's just pure. Like there's nothing, you know, I still, it's not the word I'm looking for. There's no hidden agendas.

No, no ill will. There's nothing. It's just. This is what happened. This is what happened. Yeah. And this is why. And I like his toughness scale.

Oh. If somebody's tough. You're only tough if you've been shot at. You got to teach him about 50 cent, man. No. Hey, you know how he is. 50 has shot a lot.

He's going to be campaigning for 50 to be president next. It'd be better than some of them. Well, no lie there. Yeah. He's, And Carter's tough, you know, it's wild to even sit in here and sit beside him and him just spouting out facts like that. You know, he's, he's been through so much in life. Like, my favorite part is he has no idea when we both said, well, you're tough. He has no idea how tough he is. He has no recollection of a lot of that stuff. He was never supposed to talk.

Yeah. He was never supposed to walk. Wow. I mean, odds are he probably really and truly when y'all first found out, there's a really strong chance he wasn't going to be here today. Yeah. He ate through a tube for the first year of his life. Yeah.

And now he's up here just knows you got 27 bones in your hand. He knows Abraham Lincoln was born in 1802. He knows a lot of other weird stuff. And he's a wild, you know, wild ride. that, man, just being his dad is scary, but it's a lot of fun, too, because, you know, it's just, being a dad's scary in and of itself,

but. He just, on the Saints coach. Well, no, no, no. No, he don't, he would have said, he would have said, I'm not really a football guy. Oh, really? Yeah, he doesn't, care less.

He's off of football, okay. This brings me back, okay, me and Philip went to Houston for the damn Pastorini, okay, and it's a supporter of being an angel. Yeah. Okay, everything, everything Dan does about, it's about kids, handicapped kids that need help. And he raised a lot of money every year to help them better their life. And it's the same thing about your son.

Yeah. Yeah, because he started out life rough. Right. Okay. And it was a deal about it was a coin toss whether he was actually going to make it or not. Yeah. And look at him now, yeah. Oh, no, because that's why Randy Owens.

The lead singer of Alabama wrote a song. Okay, there are angels among us. And I believe that, I believe that wholeheartedly. Okay, and Carter's one of them. Okay, because he's mentally way past his age. Oh, yeah. Okay, and that's why I say that in a way it's scary. Yeah, because, okay, because he's thinking about stuff right now

that most human beings ain't got a good concept on. Oh, it's terrifying. And he has. He's got a good concept of it, okay? What it should be. Yeah. I never knew Abe Lincoln's hat was a self-protection device, you know? Wear a tall hat.

You don't get a shot in the head. Then I asked him, are you going to wear a hat? He was like, yeah. Why would I do that? That's old school, man. But the other thing with him is because he's so literal, he's got like this one book that's like an Abe Lincoln comic book where Abe Lincoln's a superhero and we can't quite separate the fake from the real.

So I don't know. That part might not be true. Abraham Lincoln's out there, like, with his shirt off doing karate in that book. So I don't know. That must have been one as ghost met the queen of the Netherlands. You know, you know, you're kind of guide him and put some curbs in and some boundaries and let him know. No, no, this is, this is real. Yeah.

I bet there's a lot of that. Now, what about his math teacher? Oh, she's a great lady. Yeah. He likes her too. Workaholic. Miss works a lot. He came home one day.

He worked a lot. He had a bunch of math homework. He said, oh, miss works a lot. at it again. And I said, who's that? You got to think about that, though. I have no idea what the lady's real name is, but with Carter, it's Ms. Work a lot. He said he doesn't

call that at school because they don't want to get this is a nickname, but the only I can tell you about. So, yeah. He's letting us in on the story. I doubt Ms. Tatum listen, so nobody tell her. Oh, man. We don't want him or it'll be a lot harder on him. Ms. Works a lot harder.

No, it would. Hey, I do like the fact that he says homework is necessary. Yeah. Oh, he wasn't going to give up on that. I can appreciate that. I was ready for like no homework. Everything's free video games forever. And he's like, no, homework's important.

Yeah, got to have homework. Whose kid is that? Got to have homework. I hate homework. I don't even want my kids doing homework. Once we're home work supposed to stop. And he's like, oh, it's important. Dad, we got to study.

Yeah, he's, man, he's awesome. And it's just, it's hard to fathom some of the stuff going on. his head, but he's great. I have a question. I believe I saw on the social medias. Si, were you detained by the Transport and Security

Administration? Let me tell you. I got a full body. They always check, Si, they stop even at you. We get up there to get the ticket. Y'all and I've got the oxymund thing on my shoulder. Y'all and they said, what is that, sir? And I said,

ox machine. He said, oh, no, you can't you can't fly with that. You got to have a form. Yeah, a special form that we've never had to use. You've got to have a special form. And you've got to have a statement from a doctor. I said, guys, I've been flying for the last 10 years with this thing around my neck. And so like any good friend.

Also, you got there. Yeah. Yeah. And like any good friend would do like me. You just started a video. No, I bailed. Yeah. No, you know.

That day I know. I didn't want to be. looped in with him. I was like, nah, let me get out of here for. He shows his butts. I'm there. You're on the necktine up and I look around. These bombs have out of yost, Jack. Oh, I'll get stuck with you, you idiots. I was like, you ain't going to loop me in with him. But fortunately, there was a lady named Helga. And she said, is that, Uncle Si? I said, yeah, could you help us? And she was like, oh, yes, I can help. Helga from Wisconsin. She talked on the phone to him, got us all through and said, don't worry about it.

I started out laughing, but then when they kept pressing it and then they bring this guy over, well, I'm kind of getting a little T-O. Yeah, when I heard his voice change, I said, you know what, I'm out. I'm going to security. You're saying, I just said it politely first. I said, guys, I've been flying for 10 years with this stupid thing. Yeah, he was nice about it. I said, hey, he was nice about it.

I said, they x-ray it. I said, it's got one battery on the bottom of it. Thank you. You know, and I've got one in the bag. Okay. So, well, then they're saying, oh, well, no, you've got to have a form. You've got to have a doctor's statement. I said, guys, how do you think I'm going to get all this junk done?

Yeah, sitting right here. I ain't got a doctor that walks around with me all the time. It was good. They gave me a copy. Helga gave me a copy of everything that we need if we ever want to fly that airline here. Delta, I don't care. Well, that's just the first time it's different happened. Yeah, it was weird.

But then, so I go. I flew all overseas to, you know, Ireland, you know. So I went to TSA, did all my stuff, and I'm standing there talking. A guy had done spotted us, so he was standing there asking me, you know, all the normal questions, no big deal. I really like that. Yeah, no. And then so, but then I'm standing there talking to him right behind TSA and I look and I see sigh. and my man, this is the one I videoed, my man done broke out a wand on it.

And they're like rubbing him, leaning him up off the wheelchair, like rubbing him down, you know, and then he takes a little tab over there and puts it in deal. And I'm like, oh, he's going to test positive for gunpowder. I know it. Which is why I was video. And I was like, oh, I was like, oh, he is about to test positive for gunpowder. and this is going to be fantastic. Yeah, I think it was New York, yo, Fields up there, y'all.

They wave him, one him down with, be-de-peep, beep, beep, yo. The guy rinsed in Phil's coat pocket, you know, and he said, you know, guy holds up a 30-30 round, you know. And he says, what it is? And Phil said, it looked like 30-30 to me. Can't travel with those. No, no, you know, and the guy said, well, you and Phil said, well, you can have it, son. I ain't got the gun

Oh, yeah. Then the day, when we got back in for coming in Monroe, you're off standing there and it was another lady that needed a wheelchair.

I told me, I'd already sit down in mine. And I said, darling here, you're, hey, sit down and take mine. Somebody will bring me in a dog. Well, when Martin comes over there, I said, you read the big guy and he said, what do you mean? I said, you got to push me. Philip did take off? Yeah. He said, where did Philip go?

I said he went together about truck. You got one job, man. He had to get the truck. You know, and Martin said, hey, what a life. I didn't sign up for this and I said, yeah, you did. I love having Donald and Martin with us. Yeah, side grabbed me coming off a plane. He said, wait right here.

I was like, I got all my stuff. He's got his bag. He ain't got no bag. He don't check no bag. He said, I didn't sign up for this. I said, oh, yeah, you did. You just didn't know it. I had to.

Shut up and push me up to around. I had the T-Tis, huh? Maybe you don't know that. They will give you as much of that tomato juice in first class as you want. Well, I know. You do not have to get every shred out of that cup. Oh, yes, I do, too. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes, I do. Buddy. Yeah. Buddy. Yeah. Buddy. Shaking the ice, getting the ice to melt to get some more that red slurry off the sides. Yeah.

I mean. That ticket was expensive. He's getting his money's worth. I mean, they will give you all you want. Oh, no. I love that because the ladies do. You don't see you're born? I said, no, I'm good.

And he just... He said, darling, hey, I go, yo. And I'm going... Yeah, he's just trying to get all that spicy major juice out that cup. And what you didn't see is him bumping me saying, where's your fingernail file? Give me the clippers. You got a toothpick? Hey, Philip, where's that little pillar?

You got a blanket in that back? All those things. I was, for two hours, I sat back there with Godwin and I slept like a log. And on the way back, I said, Martin, Martin. And he didn't took off to a seat. I said, Martin. He was like, no. No, Hammer.

You got him. I'll sit by you, Zah. So we got on the plane to Monroe yesterday, and y'all don't know any of this, most likely. But I guess ULM had like a home volleyball game or something. So a whole team from Marshall. We are. The thundering herd or whatever is on the airplane coming.

And me and Godwin are back on the exit row in the back, and they're all like sitting as a team, one block of seats behind us. And every one of them, start Google and sigh. And they're all talking about, I think that's that guy from that guy. I think that's that guy. And so me and Gobind are just sitting there,

and I'm like, put my hood up. I'm like, man, I'm tired. I really just want to get home. Like, it's been a long few days.

Like, and they just go to arguing about if it is sire or not. They're like, no, he's got glasses. See, look, he's got glasses.

That ain't him. That guy up front didn't have glasses. That guy up front had auction. That is not him. That got up front had oxygen. Uh-huh. And then so I let them go through all that stuff, of course. And then we get on the ground, I just turned around and looked at him.

I said, look, that is sigh. If you want to know his new look, you can check out the Duck Car Room podcast. Later is a five-star review. Thank you. I didn't do that until I threw my backpack on my shoulder and took off. I was like. Yeah, he's out of here. And then they're looking around like, oh, crap, that's Martin and Gobwin.

And me and Galvin just, we go out of here. We just got back from Wisconsin. Yeah, we got to talk about that. Well, it's a true, and I'm not, I could care less about politics, right? Whatever. Vote for whoever you're going to vote for. Don't, it shouldn't matter who I vote for. It is a true battleground state in the fact that when you're there.

Everybody worried about it. Legitimately, you can't go 12 feet without seeing a Trump or a Harris sign. And I swear it is 50-50. I swear it's every other house. It was unbelievable. You know, it's even got signs like, hey, you're trespassing. Here you. You know, it even had one place we went around the corner,

and there's literally the driveway, and then they, I mean, right up to the line of the property. Yeah. And the guy saying, hey, don't be trespassing on my driveway. It said, John, you're trespassing. Yeah. Because they were taking each other's signs down. And they're pouring them toward each other's houses.

Oh, yeah. It was actually. battle going on between these two. Of political science? Oh yeah. Yeah. And on the interstate, my favorite... That was my favorite.

My favorite juxtaposition, because it's just funny to me, on this side of interstate, there's a big hill. Well, it's solid Donald Trump. Drump Hill. Solid Donald Trump. And then over here, you can't make this up. There is a wetland.

Yeah. Like cat tails, water, ducks, everything. and there's a big Harris wall sign in the swamp. Like, you cannot make this up. And I'm not sure that the Trump guy didn't put the sign in the swamp. He stole it from that name. Yeah. I'm not sure that, I mean, I saw the humor in that and I just giggled.

And we had to drive by it. She's down there in a slew. Right across the street. In Wisconsin? In Wisconsin. Oh, yeah. Because we don't, like, there's not any signs around our town. Like, no.

There's not anybody arguing. Like, I think in Louisiana, we're either all just so sick of it or we just know how it's going to go. Nobody cares. And we're all friendly. I haven't been in one weird argument. Well, that's the case in Wisconsin. So my question is for the people.

Have you ever driven somewhere and seen a billboard that said someone's name and said, oh, I'll vote for. them now because I saw this sign. What are political signs doing? Well, in Louisiana, they quickly turn into either rifle targets or no trespassing signs. It's what all the people, yeah, it's what all the people like turn over, they spray paint and then put no trespassing or, you know, posted, you know, little creek hunting club on the back of it. Yeah, or that. And what I don't like is after the election, nobody picks up the signs. And I'm like, I'm glad I didn't vote for that guy because he left the signs up year around.

Yeah. Year around. Yeah, they're just like Christmas lights. Yeah. I hadn't put my Christmas lights up yet, but it's coming. Oh, man. It was, I don't know. I just, yeah, coming from down here where you just rarely see, I mean, you see a little bit,

but not much to legit, could not go any distance without seeing some sort of political affiliation sign out. It just blew my mind. I was like, man, these people are serious. Oh, yeah. But the cool part is, and I guess they all somewhat get along because they were neighbors. Yeah. Like they were living, we were staying at a place out by a little small lake or whatever,

and there were a bunch of houses on the lake. And legitimately, every other house, it was Trump Harris, Trump Harris. I mean, it's like it was a prerequisite. Like, if you move into this, you have to be this because otherwise this doesn't work. The check the dominoes don't. Yeah. It was just. It was.

We got to keep this equal. Yeah, it was crazy. I need to take Carter to a swing state. Yeah. Have them to a rally. Yeah, you need to go to a battleground state and just let him witness like what that means. Because I had never been to one during an election cycle. Obviously.

Yeah, it was crazy, man. It was just. Well, how was the other parts of the trip besides the political point? Oh, man, Wisconsin was great. The weather was great. There was like heavy frost on the ground. It felt like fall. Oh, yeah.

And the leaves on the tree were fantastic. Yeah, people don't talk about how pretty Wisconsin is. It is really beautiful. Yeah, I don't think it gets enough credit. That was the cheese. We didn't eat any. We didn't get any. We went to that.

Isn't that pitiful? Yeah. We didn't bring none back. We didn't bring none back. The only cheese I had were on a gas station pizza we call. I'm ashamed of y'all. You went to Wisconsin. Yeah, and didn't get no cheese.

And didn't get no cheese. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't see, apparently Milwaukee area is just known for beer. Yeah. I mean, that's what I gathered. Yeah.

The Milwaukee area. And it makes sense because it's like Miller. The baseball team is the Brewers. Yeah, you saw. Old style. Yeah, you saw Miller. You saw old Milwaukee. You saw like all the stuff.

What's the, I mean, like spotted cow or laughing cow. I don't know. But it was just, it's a bunch of beef. around there, which in a former life of mine would have been really cool. I could have stayed, you know, I could have stayed a while. But at this point, I was way more interested in cheese, and that didn't come to fruition. That's sad.

But, no, the pheasant hunting was solid. I guess it was a hunt. It wasn't really a hunt. It was a European pheasant hunt. It was a shoot. Yeah, and when they came out, they were everywhere. Yeah, they got some boys up there in a tower throwing them around. It was fun.

that was fun but hey hunt for life okay it was a charity and uh it was good to to see there's still a lot of good people in this world yeah yeah we did some cool thing we raised over a million dollars while we were there yeah yeah yeah so i said uh they said we we raised 800 000 this one year and our goal is to try and get to a million so i said oh we'll we'll do that and that will happen we actually accomplishes it. One million. One million and $80. And Martin, tell Johnny D.

the story how we found out. What, oh. How it happened to go over the million. Oh, yeah. So apparently we weren't at, we didn't do the million. We were sitting back at the lodge and the guys were cleaning up. And there was one, it was a, it was a Tibo jersey of all things. They didn't get bought on a silent, on a silent auction, which makes a lot of sense because, like, Wisconsin's a long way from Florida.

Well, I mean, not a whole lot of Tebowites up there, I guess, you would say. But then a guy walked up to the guy and he's like, we're, y'all are putting that back up. And he's like, yeah, man, nobody bought it, whatever. And the guy's like, I mean, $750 a fair price for it. Yeah. Yeah, you can. $750? Yeah, you can have it for.

He's sold more than fair. Yeah, you can have it for. I mean, he's like, I'll take it for $7.50 or whatever. And so the guy gave him $750. He went over there, handed it to their clerk. and she was just like went berserk because that 750 took it to $1,080.80. One million 80. We were short.

We were short until the bitter end. Tim Tebow's still winning games right there. Tim Tebow, fourth and Tebow, baby. He still pulling it out. He still got it over. I was like, well, we'll share that story with Mr. Tebow because he's around enough that, I mean, he would probably find that pretty cool. But it was a cool thing, man.

They have this, that foundation supports a lot of different foundations. So it in and of itself is just one that takes in a lot of money then appropriates it to other foundations. So they had two of the other ones there that I didn't know that they even existed. But one of them was called Heal Our Patriots, which was really cool. It's a marriage retreat for servicemen and women going through rough spots in their marriages. Billy Graham started it. Okay, and then they got in on this.

So they had some of the Patriots there, our former servicemen, that went through it and to hear and see the changes in their lives and marriages was just powerful for want. I mean, like, you know, these guys, but I ate dinner with them. And they were telling stories of like, I was like, oh. Well, people don't realize,

Because like I didn't even, okay, and I spent 24 and a half years of military. I didn't realize like when Vietnam the guys got shot, well, they wouldn't go home. Yeah. They would go to a hospital to be patched up and fixed up, okay? Well, hey, guess what? When we went to Billy Graham up there in Alaska. Franklin, Franklin Graham. Yeah, or Franklin Graham.

Here comes a plane in that's got veterans on it, okay, that it's their welcome. home because hey they didn't come home you know they went to the hospital to get over their wounds so it's it's a it's a powerful thing to stand there because i'm sitting there with tears streaming down my face you know because these guys didn't get a welcome home yeah okay so it it it's uh yeah it's yeah i sitting there ball like a baby yeah it was and then yeah it's a wild powerful thing. It really is. And then they had a life camp program for kids whose dads have died in the act of service,

whether it be the police department, the firemen, first responders, or in the military. And one of the guys had gone through the camp and we got to meet him and hear his story. And it was amazing. It's just how these guys step up and provide father- A kid, man. A kid. Brian was his name. And I'll never forget him.

because he was just going through the deal, and he was like, yeah, before the camp, I was just angry at God. Like, I lost my dad, didn't understand why. I went to the camp and then realized that's not why we lost dad. And, like, just, I mean, the whole courage of the whole thing. I mean, this kid is 12 years old. Like, I mean, I don't know.

When you see stuff like that, it gives you hope, because, like, it gives you hope that somebody, God forbid. Well, anything happened to any of us, but that hopefully other men would step up and stand in the gap for us if something would happen to us. Well, it just shows, okay, these are people that love their neighbor, okay, and don't run their mouth, okay?

They take action. Okay, and here's the thing about all that money, not a dime goes to anyone but the kids. and John Godwin almost got knocked out. Oh, by a pigeon. I was going to try to say it, but it was too late. It was coming right at. It was right at me and John, and I shot it moving forward,

and it flew straight at Godwin, and Godwin's loading his gun. I'm telling you about that far. It's like four inches. He was putting a shell in his gun, and Martin was saying, got, got, got, go. I was going, Gobble, Gobble, Goblin. I was trying to say it. And it was,

Pchoole. Why ain't I? At this point, I was just taking a break. I was sitting on the ground by Si. Si, and I was in a chair, and I was just sitting on the ground by him, and we was commenting on everybody.

And I looked and I saw that thing, and I just go ahead. Gobbing. Gobbing. Gobbon. He said, I thought you were trying to tell me his pigeon was flying my way. Yeah, it was flying his way. He was dead.

I'm talking about me. Out of control. Within single digit inches, missed from hitting poor gobwin right in the top of the head. Oh, no. It's about four inches. I mean, it was about four inches. It was.

It was... I mean, because Martin said, didn't you hear the wind? I said, no, I was trying to load my gun. He said, no, I'm trying to. I'm trying to have my gun. Psalm 127.3. Children are a heritage from the Lord.

Offspring, a reward for him. That's it. I'm glad Carter was able to join us today. Thank you all for letting him do that. He enjoys, he's going to talk about it for a month. I love it. Every night. All right.

We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
