The things I have done Amaze myself. I'm like, Golly, look at you. I don't have any muscles in these noodle arms whatsoever, yet somehow I'm managing to carry both of them around all the time. Yeah. We're back.

Welcome back. We're back. Special guest. This is what was inside Brittany's belly the last time you saw. We've got two babies in the house. We do. We've got the Martin boys, as Johnny D likes to. I'm trying not to be super loud today.

Oh, they don't care. Well, you know, I want them to like me. Yeah. I'm scared them. Oh, you've got Jackson? I got Jackson. And that's Waylon. And she got Wayland.

Yeah, I got Mr. Grumpy pants. Grumpy pants. Yeah, he's been, he's been on one for about 48 hours here. He been on one? I don't know what's wrong with him, but at night, I started calling him catfish. Because he'll just sit there and go, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, he won't. He won't relax. And after a couple hours, it's literally the most annoying sound that you can hear.

He's just, he's just making noise. Yeah, but he's like, but he's mad. You mean, you see it on his face. And he don't even know why he's mad. You might want to send him to this side of the table if he's just in the noise making. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he would work. But you can tell you just look on his face and he's just like unhappy.

But he's got no reason to be unhappy. Now that guy, he'll talk to you. Not really talk, obviously, but he'll. If he, like, coos at you, you can coo back, then he's going to do it louder. Yeah. Like, he's like. You ain't out doing me. Uh-huh.

No, but you ain't outdoing me. Oh, he's, he got a lot of his mama in him. Hooty-ho. Well, he might be a singer. Are you a singer? Not if it's genetic. In a shower. If we have a meltdown, I'm ready with the TV.

Oh. They'll watch that jam all day. I can't play too much of it. Honestly, I love Bluey. I catch myself just sitting and watching it. And I'm like, oh, my God. So are you a children's television program watcher now? Yeah, I guess that's my life now.

I watch it. I watch it really. Oh, Bluey's awesome. Bluey's the best. Bluey's good. Spidey and his amazing friends. I like that one. That's a good one.

I skip out on that one. Yeah, no, I like him. She's done found this new super annoying lady. By accident. That puts them in a trance, though. I wish I had never found her. Who's the lady? Miss Rachel.

Where is she at? On the YouTube. And it will put children in a trance? It puts these two in a trance. Literally, they will smile at her at the TV. Is that the cook? No, she's... No, ain't okay.

She's some lady that wears overalls. I call her lady. She's not old. She's young. She, like, teaches babies' words and... Yeah, and she, like, puts the developmental stage at the bottom, so, like, you don't freak out if your baby's not doing this. But she talks in a very... Oh, hi!

It's Miss Rachel! And after a couple hours, you're like... After a couple hours. I'm going to go... We don't need the audio on this. Yeah. Can we mute this? Because we have a hard rule of no cocoa melon.

No cocoa melon. In the Martin household. It's just too annoying. My cousin's kids are... Co-co-melons. It's weird watching... I would say that's a great rule. Yeah.

Because we didn't. have that rude. Lottie was the only one that was into it. She's all for that now. Jackson's frowning. I told you grumpy pants. This is just who he's been the past 48 hours. I love it.

He's like a little old man. Oh, yeah. Baby's body. Yeah, he's just, he's scowling. He's in the coffee? That's what I'm saying. At nighttime, that's what he does with his past. He isn't, but he's not doing it now because there's probably too much distraction for him.

But he'll sit there with that. That same look going, just like when you grab a catfish after you caught him. And he gets a talking to you. That's what it sounds like. 100%. That's fantastic. And then he got his catfish and crawfish

because when you lay him on the changing table, he tried to go backwards. He's going backwards. He going that way. He don't ever come towards you. He's going that way. He's getting a heck out of there. So it's fun, man.

I can dig it. It's wild. It's, yeah, it's good. It will be fun. Yeah, you're still waiting for the fun stage, right? I'm not even going to play right now. Right now is probably the least amount of fun I've had. But now they're starting to, like, be aware of each other.

Oh, yeah. So October 12. 12th. We're January 20. They're like three and a half months old. Yeah, almost four months old. Yeah, they'll be driving soon, right? Oh, I hope.

You said that. It goes by quicker as you could have. Never even imagine. Well, buddy, it needs to step on the gas. You know, people say that. But I feel like Carter should be at least 25 by now. I actually feel that way about Carter as well. I was just thinking that the other day.

I was like, man, I feel like he was older. And I've never thought that. It's always the opposite. It feels like he's been around for a minute. And what's Carter, eight? He's eight. He'll be nine soon. Nine in March or something.

Yeah, he should be at least like 11. Oh, yeah. See, he's only nine. And they're talking about it flying by, which nine is a big deal when you're looking at this. I mean, I get it. But at the same time, I'm like, we just emptied our last pull-ups.

We're out of those now. Wow. We don't even have, like, Lottie was like, I don't want to wear this to bed anymore. I said, if you don't wet it, cool with me. Yeah. Cool with your mom. So there is a light.

There is a light. How was Lottie? Four. Oh, man. Oh, that's a long time. Yeah, but y'all went two for one sale. Yeah. So, I mean, I had diapers in my.

house for seven years? Yeah. Seven straight years I was changing diapers. In seven years, I'm liable to be the one in diapers around our house. I mean, that's where I'm hitting. That's actually a fat. Yeah, I mean, that's like, I can borderline wear them now, to be fair. Every time he picks one of them up.

Hey, careful. Oh, are we getting old, Martin? I am old. Back problems? Well, yeah, and it's the end of duck season, too. So, like, there's a bunch of. bunch of factors going into why I'm so stiff. Yeah.

A bunch of factors. I can't say anything. I'm 32. I can't be 32 in April and I. Yeah, she sounded like a fireworks stand when she gets up and start walking. My hips cracks. Hey, she just grew two human beings at once.

I'm aware. I got you. Very aware. Yeah. I'm just saying, don't be throwing no punches over this way. Yeah. I'm just throwing out. Hey, bud.

Hi. I get you. This is about normal, though. You got one that. Yeah, there's no, there's no fussy. fussing happen? You got one of late. No, that happens at night.

Yes. That happens after about 6.30 p.m. When you're ready to say, man, it's been a good day, they're like. Here you go. Here they go. No, bro. Yeah. Whitching out.

Yeah, the time between like 630 and bath and bed is like. Y'all get dominated? You power through. Yeah, you just. We don't even talk to each other. We're just taking care of business. No, the night ends. The night ends.

The night is kind of like, yeah, love you. Yeah. Bong. See tomorrow. It's like, ooh, man, I love you. Even though they sleep through the night, they still don't, their bedtime isn't early. It's not like some of our friends, their kids go to bed at like seven and don't wake up till 7.30. We're going to bed at like 10 and not waking up until 7.30.

Yeah, we're 9.30 to 10. I would take that. Oh, oh, we're not griping. We're not griping. We have not taken that for granted. We have not taken that for granted. Sleep at least bit. Sleep and babies get better cars whenever they turn 16.

True that. I've told my kids that ever since they were born. Yeah, soak that little seed in. Yeah, I'm like, hey, whatever you get older, you'll get cooler stuff if you sleep now. Yeah. And they've been sleeping through the night since they were, I think it was like eight weeks. Yeah, he just heard how cool the truck he's going to have when he turned 16. He's like, I'll keep on sleeping.

Watch me sleep tonight. Give me that four-wheel drive. Yeah, watch this dude. No, it's. Yeah, I don't know. It's just... Look at Taco Tuesday. It's so weird because they're polar opposites.

Like, this guy, Whalen... You say polar opposites, it looks like y'all are holding the same baby. Well, what I'm saying is, like, whaling, all hands. Like, we'll use his hands for everything. Ain't moving them feet. Like, just they ain't going to do it. Jackson, he got a lot of John David in him. He's going to be a kicker.

Like, when they fight, he's going to kick and throw. We're moving. Yeah. Always on the... move, but Whalen, he's going to throw punches. We lost the passy. Oh, that's fine. He's going to be all right.

I'm just amazed that they're sitting up as good as they're sitting up. Oh, yeah. That's all, that's their... That's what, four months old? They ain't quite there yet. My sister did tell me to tell you, I'll probably say it before. When they can sit up on their own,

that's the total game changer of twins. Because they'll just sit there, and then you can put them in, and then they're good. I cannot. I hate to say it, but I can't wait. Grumpy just smile. Oh, yeah, he'll smile at you now. That's the other thing, opposite.

He'll give you a big gummy smile. Whaling, on the other hand, he'll give you a... Hey, Bubby. He'll just smile in the big time. Oh, boy. Well, he's it, Bubbs. You smiling at your mama? So, yeah, it's crazy, man, how different they are.

I mean, how alike they are while also being extremely different. It's wild. It's a wild ride. But the good news is that for the most of the most of the most of the most of the most part they love bath time so that's kind of cool we play jams yeah we have you know i don't know if you saw my instagram story the other night spice girls we're on the we play better music than that i got i got i got a video that i don't know how you get better than that i am teaching them every genre genre yeah but um anyway boys you want to do it you want jackson you want take us to our first

break yeah take us to our first break all right we'll be back Right after this. 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 Tritels beef makes 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 Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails 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 ribies 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 Tritails Beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which 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 trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. I would let them watch the little mermaid the other day.

just mostly because I wanted to watch the Little Mervain. I was like, I have kids now, so no one's going to judge me. But I think Waylon might have a thing for redheads. Oh, boy. Every time Ariel came on the screen, he would just gaze up at her and smile. And I was like, hey now. Hey, you like redheads? You're three months old.

Hey, son, you like redheads or fish? I'm good with either. Hopefully it's the latter. Every redhead I've been around, kind of fiery. At the right side. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The Little Mermaid does have jams, though.

Oh, just jam after that. Absolute jams. Walking around on those, what's that word again? They didn't. Feet. They didn't seem to be overly big fans of Aladdin when old boy changed into the big wizard or whatever. I couldn't get my kids on Aladdin. Yeah.

You know, I went back and watched it as like an adult, and I was like, I could see this is a little scary, little bit. Yeah. When he changes into that other genie there to end, spoiler alert for those, y'all that somehow have made it this far. And ain't you?

Whoa, whoa, they've made seven of them, but yeah. There's no spoilers here. Yeah. Yeah, that's one of the few. Like, I really like the one with, what, Will Smith? That one was really cool. That one's good.

So me and my kids, we watch the Prince of Egypt and we pop a popcorn. I was like, let's watch a Prince of Egypt. I hadn't seen it in forever. He got over. Carter goes, Dad, that movie was terrible. I was like, you can't say that. And he goes, it was. I said, well, buddy, I mean, the Lord kind of wrote that story.

He goes, no, that was just somebody's estimation of the Lord's story. And I was like, all right, okay. I'd have told it different. If that's how you're going with it. Oh, I got cracked up. That movie was kind of scary, too, though. Was it? Yeah, I mean, it was an Old Testament.

Oh, well, yeah. Wild stuff was supposed to say a lot of wild things going on. Did they adapt the names of the Old Testament to something that the kids could pronounce? Or they go with those with 17 consonants. and two vowels. Well, they started them plagues. Carter was like,

hold on now. I don't want to be part of this. What's all them crickets doing, I turn? Might want to stay on the good side of Lord, son. Look at him. Uh-oh.

He's starting to get a scowl on his face, too. Scow on his... So what, have they eaten today? Because they seem like professionals at this sitting here. I spend my life feeding them and washing their bottles.

Yeah, they're up to seven bottles a day. Seven bottles a day? Well, they are Martin boys. Yeah, seven bottles. bottles, four ounces. I mean, we could increase probably the feedings and get rid of a bottle, but they seem to tolerate the four ounces a lot better than going to five. Well, but hey, you take a lot of food to run this factory.

I guarantee you. Look at their daddy. I just sent my sister a picture of y'all holding twins, and all her response was PTSD. For real. She remembers it. She's very well aware, isn't she? When parents have a special place.

I have a couple of twin mom friends, and they're the only ones that hit me with it real. Yeah. They're like, listen. They're like, listen, I hate to tell you this, but it's not going to get easier. It's just going to be a different kind of difficult. Yeah. Different kind of. And I was like, well, thanks for being honest.

Yeah. Hey. Uh-oh. What? Oh, boy. And now we got the bell. Hey, can he hit that? No, we ain't here.

They're talking up the storm, son. Yeah. Yeah, bud. What is it? You want to play with the ducks? Something made me mad as well to go. Look at that face. Yeah.

You're getting a scowl on your face again, Waylon. You don't want to put the, you don't want to play with the ducks? It's like, no. No, he's mad at ducks just like his dad. No, I need a gun. Hey, one more, and that'd be what I killed this morning. So good job. You've already been duck hunting?

Yeah, so it's terrible, too. I thought it'd be something before this rain got here. And they said, no, I'm going into hunker down mode. Yeah, hunker down. On field, place they're in there, no flies. No fly of the rule. I did do better than them. They killed one snow goose, so.

And they in the woods. I was hunting close to the edge of a field. I didn't even see a snow. Yeah, that's so weird. That tells you what kind of way today. Oh, yeah. No, it's something. They're here.

Look at them. It's something. Yeah. I'm not going to use the word thrive. They are. No, I'm going to say that y'all don't feel like you are, but you look like you are. It's a front. Yeah.

That's fun. Yeah, we're going. It's 100% of front. Come peek through the window at about 8 o'clock at night, and you're going to see two people in their 30s that are just ready to call it quick, the most part. I'm just telling you right now. But you're holding it together.

Yeah, well. Are we? Yeah. You're here. You're talking about your kids. Yeah. They're alive. There's a lot of duck cutting this morning, yeah.

They're full. They sleep. Yeah, they do all the thing. I think overall, oh, wow. I'd give you an A plus. I didn't notice we had a little spit on the table. leave it for you. No, I think overall

in the grand scheme of things, y'all looking at each other now? Yeah. That we got two pretty good kids in the grand scheme of things, but there's the same time, there's two of them. They're there. What about the grandparents? Tell me

about when they're with them. Oh, they love them. Mine are just back in Nashville, so we only have one that is close by that can help, unfortunately. Miss Jolene. Jolene, yeah. But she's retired.

So she's, I. Did we love Granny? Every time I text her, she's there within 10 minutes. I would say within five. No, but even if she's like out at town, she's like, I'll be right there. And it's still 10 minutes or less. Everything she's doing. Yeah, I think she's like left buggies full of groceries at Walmart or something to come.

Like, no, not that important. Absolutely. Go on. Yeah, y'all put this up. I'll come back here. Y'all put this up. I'll be back in another day. I got a diaper to change.

Yeah. Well, speaking of which, Sye, you want this one? No. It's just full of T.T. No, I'm done with that, sir. I've already informed my three kids.

I ain't changing their kids' diapers. I put my time in, and I'm... Hands are officially clean. My hands are staying clean. There you go. I like that. I'm just...

I'll change one of them right now if you want me to. No. Give you a break. See if I still got it. No, these are just T.T. You're good. Oh. These are,

these are harmless. These are, these are like band-a-oh. I'll call you when they drop a deuce. No, well. When about two years, I got a special trick,

right, when they're, well, this one, I think, is. Oh, boy. Good for you, buddy. They may smell good in here in a minute. All right.

You got hold on for one more minute before we go to break, my man. Oh, he's squeezing. Oh, yeah, he's, there's some stuff letting go. I don't know if it's just air.

But, oh. Well, when they reach about two, I used to, oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's pretty rough there. Oh, my gosh. Boy, it's a good thing YouTube you can't smell through here or Apple Podcast or I Heart Radio or wherever in the world you're listening to.

Oh, my gosh. Man, that's... It's so spicy. Man, that's got hair with it or something. Did he just rip one? I think we're in the process of evacuating. It'll make it its way over there. That's why I had that weird face on.

Yeah, I can feel it. Yeah, we're... Good job, bud. Well, on that note, yeah, we might as well take a break and get this. That's right. And go through an oil change and get this boy cleaned up. Somebody get a water hose.

Yeah, because look at him. He's mad now. Oh, I bet he is. Oh, my gosh. Man, they always make me feel better. I don't get it. Oh, it stinks so bad. All right, Wayland and Jackson.

We enjoyed you being on the podcast. Oh, man. All right, we're going with trades. Welcome back, sir. Diapers are changed and babies are on their way. It's good to happen. The fail is gone. But so were the cute children

It was pretty rough Yeah those two go hand in hand unfortunately We watched the whole episode of Bluey while you were gone You showed Sy? No, what do you think? No, I enjoyed the show between the kids About all the different faces they was making Yeah

Si wasn't talking much because he was just watching Well, the cool thing what you see in kids to me It's like you see pure innocence Like they have no idea Like there's no right or wrong to them. It's just being. Life is great. Yeah.

And so when you get to see that, it's kind of refreshing because you don't see that. Nope. And look, I know my time is limited on how much I get to see it in them before they figure out how to play the game too. Because we all humans and we all flawed, you know. It's coming. It's only a matter of time for I get to looking for my wallet and this is gone and I find it up under my kids piggy bank. Yeah. Like you.

Been there. And they start whooping on each other. Mm-hmm. I told Brittany last night, I said, they're going to have some good wrestling. Oh, man. I said, and if one of them picks on the other one, I'm letting the one that got picked on just way lame.

Like, we don't take kindly to pick it and bullying around a Martin household. So if you want to pick on your little brother, big brother, equal brother, whatever it is, the one that's getting picked on going to get a return shot. And that's all I'm going to, they're going to get one. And then we're going to break it up, but he's going to get one. They'll be inseparable, though. They'll be... They'll bring up fun of fire memories when Scott was growing up

and all the trouble we had with him and with the neighbors and all this crap. Was he a bad kid? No, he was, you know, he was... He was just your kid? Well, he had anger management problems. Oh, I got you. Yeah. So we had to watch him closely, you know, and we had a neighbor.

kid was, you know, bullying him. Ah. You know, and, you know, the kid knew I had told Scott he couldn't fight. Yeah. You had done squared off with it? Oh, no, no, no. So finally he just kept doing it one day, and I come out there and I said, come here, come here, Scott.

And the kid was standing there. And I said, no, no, no, don't run. I want you to hear this. Yeah, I'm staying right there. I said, I want you to hear this. I said, the next time he does that to you, if you don't kick his but I'm going to whip your butt. Talking to Scott.

I said, hey, you've got the green light to just stomp him the next time he does that. I said, hey, I said, did you understand just what I gave just done to my son? Yeah. I said, I've took the handcuffs off. He's free to whip your old butt. And I said, if he don't, I'm going to give him the whipping of his life. And he knows when I say something that, hey, listen, I'm not going to say it twice. It's pretty impressive that he never retaliated until you.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Because he listened to you because he's going to nothing. Oh, no. Well, no, no, because, hey. Yeah. No, I'm the same way, though. Me and bullies, we don't get along. Hey, consistency.

Here's the best advice of paragon. You've got to be consistent. Well, somebody tell them kids that? Well, I'm just saying. No, no. If you just say, you know, because I heard it too much growing up, I'm going to tell you dad.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, that doesn't do nothing. I'm a stupid teenager. You know. It's a stupid. You're waiting. You're saying, I'm going to get you later.

It's 14. Yeah. Hey, no. No. When it happened, get him right when it happened. Yeah, right. the end. Yeah, right the end, Terry's butt up and then talking about, hey, look, you know, because

I got my last whooping and, I mean, it was child abuse at 14. That was where the extension of course. Daddy asked the most important question, did you deserve it? Yes, the answer would be, yes, I deserved it. But I didn't deserve the abuse. Yeah, I didn't deserve that level. Yeah, yeah, you was angry, too angry. You should have stepped back and I would me.

Yeah. Yeah, because you went too far. Yeah. I imagine that gets a lot of people. It's just more known about these days. Probably more prevalent back in them days because nobody knew. Well, no, no. Well, it just, you know.

But there's a time. Nowadays you can't discipline your children. Yeah. They'll arrest you. Yeah, well. Yeah, but they just had to arrest me. They, yeah, it was called a sheriff's all I got to tell you. I just had to take me into jail.

Yeah. You're not going to tell me how to raise my kids. Yeah. I don't care. who you are. I'll bring myself if that's the problem, because I'm a big believer in spare the rod spoiled a child. Now, does that mean the rod has to be whipped every time?

No, but there's, there are times. There's times. Johnny Dey in the thick of it. I know that with Jim Youngens. They at that age, they at that age where it's, they really test them boundaries, because I remember Ben and Rachel's kids going through it, and I'm like, oh, man, don't do that.

And they do part of that. And you're like, okay. Oh, no, right. All right, you little rascal. No, it's into the human to push you just as far as you allow someone to push you. Mm-hmm. They're not going to push you, you know, until you finally just like, you know, that's like the bullies. You know, you finally got to say, hey, trying to be good.

Your parents have told you don't fight and all this, and you're trying to do what your parents say. They're just sometimes that you just got to say, no, this is enough, and I'll fix it. hey, we've fixed the square it off right now and finished this. Yeah. Or they'll never leave you long. Yeah. I don't want you walking away, saying, boy, I wish he to try that on me. Yeah, no, no.

That's like that joke about the cop. I wish you to put that bitty club on me. Yeah. That's why I was a cop walked around the other side and said, hey, lean over here, and then just backed him. He said, I didn't want you to go down the road by the mine and say, I wish he had to try that with me. Yeah.

No, are we taking that excuse from me? Taking it. Your boys fight a lot? No. Not at all. Oh, well. Just not a lot. I got a weird dynamic.

I got you. Carter and Ben's. Ben's is like a little angel child who says sweet things and doesn't fight. It gets along with Carter, gets along with Lottie. Sound like me. No problems. Now, when Benz is removed from the equation, there's a four-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy that are ready to throw down at any moment.

You got the oldest and the youngest jockey in for position. And they both mad. And you can't get mad at that little girl, right? Oh, yes. Oh, she's the meanest one of all of them. Carter will come in and cry, and I'm like, what is it, dude? He's like, she hit me. I'm like, you're eight.

Don't let a little girl whoop you. Also, let me go talk to her because I don't know what's happening right now. But yeah, she'll growl at people. you know, she mean. But that's the only two that really fight at our house. And Ben's is just man in the middle. Ben's just like, I don't know. Peacekeeper.

I don't know what gene he got of just lover of all humans and people. And he says hilarious stuff. He's like, well, we shouldn't fight because Jesus doesn't want us to. I'm like, well, I don't know about everybody else. But a 33% batting average is pretty good. I got one of them on track. We're one out of three, baby. We're trying to get them other two.

Hey, I get you in the hall of five. thing. And baseball. Baseball, you're a first ballot or you hit 333. Oh, it's hilarious, though. That's good, yeah. But Benz and Carter get along, they're like, they're just bad. Now, they fight over the Xbox, which is real easy because one day I'm just going to throw

it in the pond behind the house, and they're going to melt down, and I'm going to laugh. Yeah, because you've always been a PlayStation guy anymore. Well, yeah, but they got X... You'll get some satisfaction out of watching that Microsoft product goes to the bottom. But I kid you not. It was two... They got Xbox for Christmas? Two days after, I said, nope, it's over.

Who got them to Xbox? Me. Yeah, boy, if you want something cool, I'm going to get it for you. Oh, I didn't know if you get good grades and you do cool stuff. I didn't know if it was a grainy thing. No, I went for it. I got it. And they had been asking for it for like two years.

I was like, whatever, let's do it. And then it wasn't two days after Christmas. They were fighting over it. And I said, well, I mean, if you're going to fight, I'm just going to remove what makes you fight. Yeah. So they're like, they're like, That's our Christmas gift. I was like, I don't care.

No matter. It's gone. It's gone. They learned it back. You're about to learn a hard truth about presents. They come and they go. Yeah. Amen to that.

Yeah, that was always my parents same way. But they didn't take, they took my fishing ride from me. I was like, oh, no. No, fishing ride and BB guns what left my hands. And I was like, no, this ain't, uh-uh. Well, you got to find what, you know, we'll make them. Oh, that was my motivation because all I was trying to do was get out there. and hunt songbirds and catch the neighborhood bass for the 150th time.

Songbirds and neighborhood. Yeah, I mean, like, that's what I did as a kid. That's just, I don't know, I wouldn't ever much into video games, which I'm glad because now that I'm an adult, I have a couple of game consoles, and I can get lost in it. Like, I mean, I can see where they... Oh, that's a book on. I can raise Mario Card on Switch too long.

Very too long. Too long. Like, me and Brittany played the other night. Let the boys watch just because we figured, all the flashing colors and everything be fine. Then we got to yelling at each other. We decided that that probably wasn't the best model of, well, she'll get mad at me.

Well, you know. Yeah. I mean, you know. It's weird at the high. I just win. Yeah. I mean, it's some dang backwards green shells. The ones that make me so mad that, you know, I get her with all the time.

So it just is like, she's like, how do you know where I'm at? I'm like, well, it's a dang 60-ish TV. And there's only two screens on it. I mean, all I got to do is go straight. It's not hard. Yeah, it's not that bad. Oh, okay. And, yeah, then I looked, I was like, yeah, we're probably not setting the best example.

So let's remove these. Remove these. Let's all go fishing. Yeah, let's go fishing. But anyway, let's take a break. We'll be back right after this. The games will have happened by the time this airs. Well, I know.

There could be a prediction, though. Yeah. Eagles versus the 49ers. It'll be funnier if we're predicting teams that didn't even make it. The Eagles 49ers and you got the Chiefs and the Bengals. But be careful because whatever you say here, people are going to hear after those games have been played. Yeah, you're going to either look like a mad genius

or you're going to look like Uncle Si. Like that time? Just blown crazy. I tried this with the World Cup, and I said we'd win two to nothing, and we got our rear ends kicked and everybody knew it. Well, I made a prediction on the...

On TCU. That didn't work. That didn't work out. Yeah, so who do you have with it? Yeah, but I still say I had put a qualifying deal on this if they showed up and played. And in my humble opinion, they didn't show up playing. Well, clearly.

But here's my prediction. We got a Super Bowl prediction here. Here's my prediction. Okay. Kansas City against the Bengals. Okay. Okay. Who wins?

A healthy Joe Burry. or an injured Patrick. Well, no, no, that's the thing. It depends on if Patrick can actually play. It depends on if they show up, Martin. He's told you this. Well, no, no, no. It depends on how bad Patrick has hurt.

If he's mobile like he normally is, it'll be a good game. But I'm rooting for the Bengals to take it down. He's rooting for the Bengals. He's rooting for LSU of the North. Okay. And, okay, I really don't care. the Eagles will probably beat 49ers. Yeah.

Okay. But that's maybe. That's a maybe. I really don't care because I think the Bengals are going to win the whole mess. I don't hate either one of them because I truly feel like the best four teams are left. And I think that's all that you really try to get. And that's all you really try to get out of a playoff scenario is that the best four make it. And I think they do have the top four.

But I think the Bengals have got, you know, a percentage is on their side because Patrick is hurt. Yeah. Yeah, but Eli Apple is going to be on the field and he'll mess on it. But, well, no, no, because there's a lot. There's a lot of, it's a lot that goes into it because, you know, Kansas City has got a lot of racehorses. Okay, that can fill the void. Feel the void, you know, okay. And Bengals got a few of them sell.

Well, no, no, and that's why I'm saying. And it's going to be a good game. But this isn't a football podcast. It's a good game. I was just curious. So you've got Bengals winning it all. All of it. I'm talking about all of it.

Man, that'd be big for the state Ohio. Hey, I'm going for Joe Burroughs to take it all the way to the top boys. He's capable. They're capable. Hard to root against Joey Burrow after what he did for this state. I'll fix, hey, they got a good team. And that guy he throws it to is pretty solid. The four best teams are playing it off.

I'm not saying anything about the city of Cincinnati. That's a good point. The four best teams are playing for the championship. Yeah. So that's a good deal. But Philadelphia are going to be hard to beat. They somehow just manage. Oh, yeah.

Well, they take advantage of the Saints in every trade that they make. Well, they've got some race horses, too, of their own. Well, they're the first ones I think I've seen. We're not a football podcast. Sorry if we're boring you because I know a lot of y'all hate football in the NFL. You know, whatever. If you want to, I'll switch this over to a soccer podcast because there was a hilarious game in France yesterday. Hey, unless I was back out, I don't want to talk about soccer.

There was a really funny game in France, if you need to know. Yeah, you told me about that. It was hilarious. But, yeah, you're right. The Eagles have adapted college football to the NFL and it's working. Their offense. Jalen Hertz, baby. Yep.

The guy who wouldn't get enough to play at Alabama. You know, it's all them people from Alabama trying to claim Jailen Hertz now. Of course they are. Another Alabama grad just doing big time. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They're also the ones that loaded up his trailer and escorted him out of Tuscaloosa, so it's fine. Boomer sooner, boomer sooner. Hey, I just, he seems like a good fellow, so I can root for him too.

I can root for Jalen Hurts. He seems like a good dude. But anyway. They're all good dudes left. Yeah, for the most part. It's hard not to root for old. Purdy? The last pick of the draft.

The last pick of the draft. All right. 251 other people were picked before him, and they're like, oh, let's take this guy. Now he's starting in the NFC championship game. And has had a pretty easy go of it overall. And is doing a great job. That just goes to show you,

don't be, it doesn't matter if you're Mr. Irrelevant. What are you going to do when you get the ball? That's transferable to all skills in life. That's it. That doesn't matter all the people that ask us about what to do in their job because they feel stuck and all that. Hey, look at him. He and he was supposed to be there.

He's supposed to be over there with that. surface tablet and his hair all looking good and say, hey, can y'all hang me my ring? Instead, he out there running for his life. He wasn't even supposed to have a helmet on. He's supposed to just hang out at practice. Yeah, he was supposed to hold Jimmy G's helmet. Yeah. Make sure you got that.

Here you go, man. Get back in there. Yeah, go get him. Go get them. I do like a backup quarterback winning at all. That's just fun. But I cannot stand the 49ers. Yeah.

You know why? Because it don't matter what Mr. Purdy does. If he does it, he will be paid the rest of it. He's going to be the next lap. Well, here's the thing. Hey, Maddie Flynn. It's not talking trash when you back it up. There you go.

It ain't skybusting if you can do it. Hey, as you can kill them at 125, okay, it ain't skybusting. It ain't skybusting. That's what I'm talking about. That's good. But I don't even know what else to talk. Well, what are you going to eat? For what?

Super Bowl. The Super Bowl? Do you have a, I mean, we're not, we're obviously talking about the game. But, like, what's your number one Super Bowl food? I'm just... The best Super Bowl I ever watched was I just watched Netflix when the referees blew that call on New Orleans.

Oh, yeah. And we all boycotted it. And I, Sean Peyton said, we're going to watch Netflix and eat ice cream. I said, I'm in. So you're ate ice cream? I watched a movie and had a, our whole family gathered around.

We had a big old Sunday bar. I don't even know what happened in that game. I like it. Rams lost. That's all I know. I've never watched the second of it. That is it. What's your Super Bowl food, Sye?

Do you? I would prefer that Stone cooked... I was supposed to say it. No, no, no. A tenderloin. Well, yeah. Every Stone's got on the grill. No, right.

But does Stone watch the Super Bowl? No. He won't even watch the Super Bowl. No, but he also doesn't need a reason to cook. He would have to be an owl, and Stone is just cooking for an owl. Yeah. Stone ain't looking real hard for a reason to cook. He'll do that anyway.

He's going to cook, but then when that ball playing starts, he's out. He's out. He's gone. Yeah, he's going. Yeah, he's going to go watch the jiu-jitsu match. That's right. He'll go do that. Does Gobbin watch the Super Bowl?

No, he'll be watching Motorcross. And it doesn't matter if there's a real one or a month ago. Or rerun. That's right. He'll be watching it like it's the first time. Saying, look at Tofer. I don't even know who Tofer is. I don't know why they can't say Chris because I'm sure it's Christopher.

That is what it is. Yeah. Okay. I don't, you know, that's all I know about Gobbin. Gobwin. Godwin. McMillan will be watching the Super Bowl. He'll have bets everywhere, yeah.

Philip likes to gamble too much tonight. And we'll lose all of them. Probably so. No, he'll snake out and break even at the end of the night. That's just what he does. That's what he does. He'll bet on the way the laces turn with 12 seconds to go after an incomplete pass and winning. I mean, that's just what Philip does.

He finds a way to break even. I don't know. It's wild, man. I've been in a lot of gambling situations with McMillan, and he I want a bunch of money on the last Super Bowl Squares?

No. Oh, because I ain't ever want a dime off them squares. They had, I put, I put some money down on a non-quarterback

to throw a touchdown. Oh. And when Joe mixing through that touchdown, I was like 500 bucks jumping around the house. I didn't care who won. That's all I wanted to happen.

That's cool. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a hard one to bed on there. That feels like a sucker bet whenever you make it. It was free. Yeah.

draft kings, baby. I did a little promo code. Look, here's the deal. We're talking about gambling. Do not gamble money that you do not have. That's right. Yes, every time I've ever bet money on the line, it was incidentally found for the most part.

Like I opened up the console in my truck and like, where'd that 20 come from? Here you go. Boom. Any money you're willing to gamble, you have to be willing to say, well, that was fun even though I lost. But I will quote you as saying,

this is a direct quote from you in Las Vegas. We were watching Michael Waddell on the roulette wheel. And you said, watching people gamble is way more fun when there's something on the line. You said, that dude got more money than me. I was watching a number. I was like, watching him gamble was way more fun than gambling myself. Yeah. Well, a gambler once told me if you can't take a $100 bill and if you smoke.

Yeah. and you light a cigar with a $100 bill. You don't need to be gambling. You don't need to be gambling. Yeah. That's probably great advice. Yeah. It doesn't have to be a hundred.

You may want to gamble five. You're just burning it up. You're tossing it in the air. Really, the only time I gamble is amongst friends because it gives us a reason to talk trash to one another. That's like my favorite reason for betting on anything. You technically owe him a steak. I know, hey, not technically.

Yeah, but we'll wait and see who's actually... I owe him whenever they want to go, we'll go and I'll pay for the steak. No, but we may, hey, we may wait to see who gets in a Super Bowl. We may go double or nothing. Double it. Okay. You know what's better? You know what's better than one steak?

Well, I have two steaks. You know what I like here, Martin? Let's double or nothing but buy some fancy internet meat that's got to be shipped in and then have Stone cook it. And we can make a real expensive steaks. Well, hey, that's what, no, no, no, you just made up, hey, I'd rather do that anyway. Yeah, maybe like a little $200 steak. Forget through the restaurant.

I'll just buy a couple of tenderloins. No, no, no, no. We're going higher dollar than tenderloins. Oh, no, you don't get any better. You can eat it with a spoon. I believe that, but I like, I like fat. I like beef fat. Wagyu, baby.

Yeah, I like, I like that little, that little eyebrow of a ribbon. I like that. I need, yeah, or the cap on a strip. I want it to be one of those things I don't fully understand, but some guys telling me all about it, and I'm like, I'll try this. Yeah, let me, pro tip, do not, do not buy and consume a Wagoo brisket. If you do that, make it for party favors, and everybody gets one piece.

Because if you hit that thing like normal brisket, buddy, he hits back. He hits back. Buddy, he wins. end. Like a Johnny's Pizza? Like there ain't enough dude wipes on this world. Like, I'm talking about mint chill ain't gonna touch that. That's a five alarm fire.

So, I'm just giving you a pro tip. If you think, man, I got a bonus and, you know, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go spend it on a good prime brisket. That's fine. But invite all your buddies. And don't be mad when everybody gets one slice, because that's all you need. That's all you need.

Yeah, that's all you do. If you go hard, I just, I did it. Cleared out. It was a Christmas present and I did it. And it was one of the more traumatic nights of my life. But there you go. So let's come back.

We'll get in that inbox. We'll be back right after this. All right. We're back. Johnny D. Yes, sir. Hello at duckcallroom.com. That's the inbox.

But I think we're going to go pick on some Instagram. We got some Instagram questions. Careful. Instagram questions. Instagrams. Insta question grams. Insta question grams. Yeah.

Yeah, because we had like hundreds of those, and when we do those episodes, we get to like six of them. Yes. Our answers are often long-winded. Well, there are four of. Well, today, three of us. Three of us. Maybe burn three of you here. R.C.J.

Just letters. I don't think that's a name. What job did you want to do when you were a kid? Man. Interesting. No, I ain't say mine. You got to. Why?

I'll say mine. I need to go find that, though. As a kid, I didn't want to do no jobs. You had to, like, what did you want to be when you grew up? No, no. I'll tell you a little quick story. Okay. I was on well for one time, look, and a lady was telling me, Mr. Robertson, okay, if you're a dream job, what would it be?

I said, darling, you don't want to go there. She said, no, no, no, I really want to know. And I said, okay, you asked for this. Just remember you asked for it. I said, I want to find somebody that's got more money than they got cents, and they will pay me all the money, okay, for doing nothing. And it came true. No, no, and while I, it actually happened.

E and A and E showed up, and I've been rich ever since. Oh, boy. Not a terrible plan, though. I mean, it's hard to get it to execute. If you could execute your dreams. I ain't mad at that being you plan. Yeah, hey, that's right. That was it, huh?

God pulled it off. That was what you wanted to do with that. That's what I wanted to do. Martin? I think in second grade, this is going to be funny. I think my mom still has it. Like, you're really learning to write, like, a lot of letters and stuff then. So me being the nerd, I was.

It's like. I remember she, no, she went to the doctor one day, and I asked her what the doctor was. Was she was going, now it's been shortened to the OB. Now everybody just says OB. And I was like, how do you spell that? So I became obsessed with gynecologist when spelling it. So like a month into second grade when they're like, you're writing your career thing. No, you did.

Yes. I wrote, I want to be a gynecologist when I grew up. Of course, I'm second grade. The only thing I knew because, you know, in second grade. your parents are keeping it very G rated for you. Like, oh, they deliver babies. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I like babies.

That's cool. I'm in second grade. I'm not far removed from being a baby. I want to be a gynecologist. She still got it somewhere. It's good, man. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Little did I know.

That's rich. But there you go. Yeah, I became obsessed with the spelling, like, hard words. And to me, gynecologist was like, I mean, that was like, I mean, that was like, Gina monopoeia. I can't smell it. Yeah, I mean. Oh, Martin.

So there you go. There was an old career. That one was just an obsession with the word, not really understanding what it was. That's fantastic. Yeah. That is a good story. I did not. I'm glad I picked that one under the hat for special occasions.

But yeah, there you go. I didn't know that about you, Martin. You used to have a passion for Gondical. Yeah. Miss Russell's second grade class at Claverin Elementary. I'll never forget it. Was it like up on the wall somewhere? Yeah, they put everybody.

Was Mr. Russell red-headed? No. Oh, God. Just from the name I thought she would be. What? Hey, I'm serious. I kind of now I'm hoping she would have been, too, because I don't know what kind of story you had about her, but I'd listen.

Well, I guarantee you she told that story all over town. Oh, believe that. You all aren't going to believe what this little boy in my class said. We got astronauts, the president, policemen, firefighters, firefighters, gynaecologist. And a gynecologist in the second grade. Boom Oh, that's good stuff

Yeah, there you go Oh man I was gonna follow that But I don't think I came out Old nerd habits die hard man But everything in my life Was the competition That's what I'm scared of

With them two young and says They are going to be Competitive Little Punks Oh, that's That's okay Dad ain't gonna let them win I'm really happy About what you just told me

That is funny You're welcome That's great Okay. Well, Alexis asked for a personal story that occurred in each person's childhood that they vividly remember. And I think Mark just crushed that one. Just like my kids, I got a twofer. There you go.

So we'll move on. Oh, okay, here's a good one. From the Alex Kayser, how did you know when you were done having kids was your spouse on the same page? The minute that second one come out. Cy? No, because we had two miracle babies. That's true. Because my wife was told by all the doctors, you know, that she would never have a child around.

There you go. And that's why it took me 16 hours to convince her one when I actually kidnapped her in a restaurant. He uses that term metaphorically people. Yeah. It wasn't an actual kidnapping. She was of age. And in my family, okay, I had two miracle babies, and then I got, you know, what, eight grandsons?

They're miracle babies, too. Eight grandsons. That's wild. I bet Thanksgiving is nuts. Oh, yeah. Get them all together. Somebody getting in a fist fight. Guaranteed.

They're actually pretty civilized. Johnny D. How did she ever talk? For animals. For animals. How did your woman ever talk to you into a third one? She won a four. Oh.

Really? No, her plan in life. She was an only child, so she wanted a big family. That's right. Not just one of us. If you would have asked us at the beginning of our marriage what the plan was, her plan was four kids by 30. By 30. And I'm just tired thinking about it.

Oh. And then Carter came along and there was a lot of stuff with him, you know, when he was born. Yeah. And so that was, that somehow didn't slow us down looking back. It's weird. Then we had Ben's and it was like, hey, we got this. We're doing good at this. And then this little scary child named Lottie came along and she changed the script.

Yeah. Said no more for. And I was like, I'm good if you are. You just let me know. Yeah. And one year for Valentine's, I opened an envelope and the number to Dr. Marks was in there. And I went and said, go ahead and shut that valve off, my man. Hey, hey, hey, go.

And we were good. But it was one of those things. I made it known that I was good with three. I was. Well, the cool thing about... We'll play it by ear. And the cool thing about the world in general is like, you can adopt if you need to. Yeah.

So there's a lot of children that need a home. So, you know, that's where me and Brittany were. We're like, okay, yeah, we're not rolling these dice again if they come two at a time. So we're not rolling snake eyes again. Yeah. You don't want to do that. So next time will be much more controlled. environment. You can get in trouble at a two-for-one sale.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because, well, sometimes you can take those back. Unfortunately, we've got these. Not unfortunately. They're fantastic. But y'all saw them. But just the thought of going, it was a big enough culture shock going from a family of two to a family of four immediately. The thought of going from four to six is more than I could bear. So, yeah, if we decide we want another one, adopt. An adoption was always in. Double or nothing. It was kind of always our backup. We weren't going to do the IVF and all that,

the fertility stuff and all that stuff. So it was, it was always, because there are a lot of them that need, you know, and with the crew we're surrounded with here, adoption is a, that's a big deal.

Like, Gobbun, Godwin, his daughter's adopted, Becky's sons adopted. Everybody knows Willie and Corey's adoption stories. I mean, like,

you know, that's always been a big deal for, for this crew here. Jeff and Jessica, the same way. So, yeah, that was always like, yeah, that's not a problem for us. Like, biologically was not, didn't have to happen for us. And, I mean, it did.

So thank the good Lord for it. But if we'd have adopted kids, that's fine too. So, you know. But yeah, biologically, too, we're done. We're done. Yeah. You ever go to that ultrasound and there's two of them heads staring back at you, you pretty well just go ahead, freak out and shut the valve off in.

You're like, no, I'm out, boys. I can't imagine in people it made me realize like parents are cool twin parents are like really cool but if you got triplets or something weird

like oh my heavens you can't even play man to man dude you got to do a zone you're an auto zone already you're already in cover two like you can't ever go cover zero you need to become a coach And there was one in the OB waiting room that had like a four pack.

Four? Yeah. And you were like, hey, I don't know if you know this, but that's more than normal because I used to want to be OBGY. Yeah. And I've studied up. I actually went over there and I said, it's going to sound weird, but I just want to thank you for the first time during this whole journey. I'm now thankful for twins because you've got four. Four.

Four. That is like double. That's wild. That's why I said you needed to change your career. and become a coach. Yeah. Because you're working on a football team. Yeah, you already got a basketball team.

Yeah, you already got most of the basketball team first time. Anyway. Well, you want me to send us out of here? Absolutely. Let's call it a day. I got one to go along with grandparents. Hold on. I had one.

He had it. And then he lost it. And then I lost it. It's, you know, the song about, and their children and their children. And their children. And their children. And their children. And their children.

Number six, 24 and 26, 24 through 26, the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace. And may that last for generations of your family. If you don't have a story like me and Martin whose grandparents paved the way for a lot of who you are today, you can start that. You can be the grandparents of somebody one day, the parents of somebody right now. And leave a legacy because when you have what me and Martin had, which was just awesome grandparents, it makes a difference in a kid's life.

So if you didn't get that, I hate that for you. But I would say be that for somebody. Man, don't hold your kids hostage because of it. Yep. You go be somebody. You go be the best grandparent you can be because grandparents rule. Ain't that the truth. We'll see y'all next time.

Right here.
