and go. And we're back. Are we? I don't know, are we? I don't know. Did we ever leave? Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. It is a beautiful Wednesday morning, I think.

It's Wednesday. It's Wednesday. We were supposed to have a guest with us. It's a Robertson Child, so they might show up. They might not. They might not. They might make it or they might not. We won't even tell y'all which Roberts and Child was supposed to be here.

We just want you to guess in the comments. Hey, look, I'm, I'm hatless because I can't wear my cowboy hat with these. He is full. Why, you're full cowboy? I always wanted it be. My favorite part is he decided to go full cowboy in his wardrobe, except today he wore a polo. Most days he's got on a pearl slag. Which would really just hammer it on.

Nope, this ain't polo. But, well, I'm saying the style. Fires and his partner. That's fine. I'm just saying the style. shirt. Yeah. Okay.

You're wearing a golf shirt instead of your typical. Well, these are comfortable, though. Well, yeah. Yeah. I'm aware. I wear them. Nike does make comfortable things. I've been in business for quite some time.

Yeah. Look at Tiger Woods. I like their shoes. What are we doing? Go ahead. No, today is going to be one of our, I think we're just going to do a kind of a fan-centered one. I've asked questions on Instagram. So people are steadily reply.

And we've got email. We haven't really been able to dive into the end. inbox like heavy for a minute but inbox got heavy heavy it wasn't he and i'm gonna be straight with everybody it it was tough to read like it was a lot of people you know we lost a lot of people there for a minute um phil being a large part of that and we asked people to send in like what he meant to them and when i tell you that's not easy to just sit down and read for a couple hours like it it gets to a man to well i'm looking at one of yours that you got on your computer and and and they days and I'm just saying what the media has talked about a lot they're wondering where all the

men have gone oh uh I believe the song goes where have all the cowboys gone and I got right here wait wait it wait a day they'll be bad about the cowboys no I love that song no okay but anyway hey who sings that no they say it's uh you know uh even Trump said it he said hey look you women need to have more babies well to do that you got you should uh say you should, you should get married. I'm about to say there's a step involved in. Yeah, step involved in, you know,

when you start having kids. Yeah. But anyway, hey, the media's talking about, you know, where are all the, where have, where have all the cab?

Where are all the men? Yeah. Because look, they don't take. They're in hiding because they, we're told we can't be men anymore, right? It's toxic. Yeah.

It's toxic. They said a lot about that in the media, too. Yeah. It's so toxic to be. Is man toxic? Allegedly. Well, I'm serious. You know?

It's a, hey, the scientists, all our great minds are really worried about it. About what? About the, where have the man gone? Oh. Hunter? You know, because look like dating is not what it used to be. Well, we have an expert in that field here. Yeah, he's dating.

He's dating. He has a tie-dye Mountain Dew shirt on, which is not the man list. Hey, Mount Dew, don't knock Mountain Dew, my brother. I like Mountain Dew. And I like tie-dye from time to time. So I'm just messing with them about it. I don't know what tie-day is. Hunter, what is with your generation?

Okay, there it is. You have it here first. Ladies and gentlemen, the problem with Hunter's generation is... Hunter's laughing really hard. I don't know how to answer that correctly. Why not? You're one of them. Well, I know.

I can only speak for myself. I can't speak for everyone else. No, no, it's 20-25. everybody speaks for everybody at this point yeah it's called Twitter yeah everybody everybody speaks for everybody and nobody's opinion counts anymore so you know it's fine what you got like I'm I feel like I'm the worst person I still have friends who are 25 living with their parents I have another one who's an alcoholic and then like and then there's me like I've got how old are you 25 I just turned 25 yeah August the 2nd it was on the birthday board oh yeah

hey ladies and gentlemen Martin how long have you worked here 17 years. They do not know his birthday here, Doug Commander. They got a birthday board, and everybody's right, all these new kids and Martins is wrong.

There's Barnes got the wrong birthday on that? Uh-huh. They just don't know that you're only 39. Well, they can't know my age if you don't know the day. Hunter brought up a good point that kind of, it's actually foreign to the Robertson. It's foreign to you.

It's foreign to me. What? Making it by 25 and not being married. I'm still living at home with mom and dad. Oh, yeah. Okay, because look, when we, when all the Robbinsons, when they got, you know, like, oh, 16, 17, 17, hey, we ready to hit the road. 16? You moved out at 16.

Well, no, no, I'm just saying, but we was ready to go at 16. Well, it's a bit expensive to move out. Oh, here we go. Well, no, like, no, he's right. It is. Yeah, but here's the thing. Here's the thing about that. I'm not trying to be political or anything.

I'm actually on your side here, Hunter. I have twins at home, and I fully expect them to be there till they're 30 at this point. Because of, I'm just saying because of... Well, no, no, the culture has changed. Well, because of the price of everything. It's not even the culture. The value, because of inflation, it's like near impossible. I'm lucky enough that I make enough where I can live by myself, but if my rent goes up one more time, I'm screwed.

Yeah. I don't got any room for you. But if I did, I would actually... I've got some advice for you there. What? Okay. Somewhere there's mismanagement. On what?

They're living beyond their means. No, no. All I'm saying is a double stack costs $4 now. Yeah. And a one-bedroom apartment in West Monroe, Louisiana is like $1,200 a month if you don't want to worry about all your possessions and your vehicle in the parking lot. Me and my roommates all had to split. $200 a month and that wasn't that long.

That's what I'm saying. Like it's just a weird, there is a weird, it's a weird economical time that we're in. Like, I barely, I'll say this for my home, my,

but now I did refinance when interest rates were down at 2.4 or whatever it was. My house note is not much more than $1,200 a month. Well, no, no. And I own that thing. Yeah. Like,

you got to go with Dave Ramsey. even though I don't like him. Just kidding, I do like him. So I'm just saying, like on a lot of that, there's a valid point because then it's hard to find, I mean, it's same with us. It's hard to get a kid that has zero experience and pay them enough to afford a $1,200 a month apartment. Well, that's the, like Hunter's actually, I like to think Hunter's pretty good at his job. Yeah. I would say our podcast has gotten better since Hunter.

Hunter, I'm not trying to get you a raise here. Give Hunter a raise. Put it in the comments. You're welcome. but, you know, to find a 25-year-old as someone who hires people. What's your base rent? When I first moved in there, it was 700. I'm not asking bills, just base rent.

I just didn't know where we were going here today. This is a baseline of just West Monroe, Louisiana. So my rent right now, or when I moved in was 700. A couple weeks ago, it got bumped to 750. Okay. It is one of the cheapest places you can get in West Monroe because most are 800 to 850. But if you go lower than 700, it's in the shady parts of town. Yeah, that's what I said, where you're worried about all your possessions. Yeah. Yeah. And all my friends either live with

their parents or had roommates. And here's his one. Here's his one one, one bedroom, one bath. Yeah, one bedroom, one bath. Yeah. Why don't you move him with big hair? He lives with his parents. Okay. That's why he drives out of Audi. Yeah. He's saving money to buy a house. There you go. That makes sense. Yeah, perfect. I mean, look. I might or might not.

Me and my wife might both be on our parents' cell phone plans. Hey, I went out and did a boomerang move and went back home, so I get it because I was like, I'm never going to be able to afford anything at this point. Like, I was making nothing. So I went out and said, I don't want to be poor. Like, this ain't it, boys. And then, you know, my mom and dad were like, yeah, come on. It's fine.

But part of the problem with it, the whole, here's how we started this. part of the problem with it is, and this is not reflect on Josh and Hunter by any means, a lot of those guys that are like trying to figure it out, they end up just living with their parents and don't do it. But they don't do anything. They don't do any. And that's where all the men have gone. I was still gainfully employed.

They've fallen on hard times or there's a situation where it's kind of tough to get out of the house. So then they just go home and play fall guys in their parents' base. Yeah, that's where all the men went. It's too expensive to go outside. No, no, no, but that's what I was getting out about the mismanagement. Yeah, that's mismanaged. Okay, because they won't work. Yeah, or they won't even try to do things that better themselves.

Because I started working when I was 12 years old. Oh, I started, hey, 15, yeah. I'm 15 was my first on the book's job. Now, I mowed grass at the credit union off the book. Well, no, yeah. Starting at about age 8. Yeah, yeah. That was me.

Yeah. But that's what I was saying about. it's it's uh well not only that and then the attitude is wrong all right look springtime is here it's warming up you know what that means that means more outside cooking and and y'all know we love to eat beef around here and that's what because of our friends over at try tells beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall 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. Tritels comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door.

We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. look salt pepper garlic hot fire that's all you need look because i tell you what when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living you can taste the difference the tenderness and the flavor are fantastic so if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season go check out try tails beef i know in size case christine loves it which is just a uh she doesn't eat me yeah just go to try beef dot com slash stuck that's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Our parents didn't own their first home.

They're probably, they was in their 40s. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Okay. But today, everybody is spoiled in my humble opinion.

Yeah. It's a humble one. And they all, they all won it now. Well, hey, look, you're 18 years old and an idiot. Don't. You have.

You have no skills. You have never worked. Yeah. So, hey, look, you've got to, you know, you've got to be trained. You need to do something and be trying to either go to school and get an education or either go to a trade school and be trained for you have a job. Yeah. And then you show up at that job and do what's required of you.

That's showing up parts tough. No, no, no. I'm serious. It is, man. Hardest thing to do for a lot of people is just to show up. Hey, if you get somebody that shows up every day, hey, that's a good employee. Yeah. Yeah, you can figure out something for him to do.

You can actually teach him if he's teachable, you know. Most of the thing, like you saying, hey, he won't show up. I will encourage my children to seek out trade schools and then work for themselves. Well, it's just, it's. I'll do what I can to give them a head start on it. College is not for everybody. No. That's just the bottom line that.

No, it's not. Did you go to college? Hey, we made it. I did. Did you graduate from college? I did. I graduated in 2023. 23. What's your degree, Ed?

Why would you laugh at that question? It's in communications. Oh. Check. With a concentration in journalism. Okay. It was more media-based. Yeah, so we're your subjects.

What do you tell you? You helped. You wrote about us, didn't you? Oh, yeah. Many essays on what? I do here. Why? Wait a second.

Heck yeah. Where are those? That's life. Heck yeah, man. I'm probably in my Google doc. The problem is if you were writing about us, if you were writing about us, you were a solid C plus student. There's no way we were interesting.

Why on earth would you ever make an A in college? That is silly. Nobody asked you what your grades were. Yeah. Has anybody looked at you and said, did you make an A in that class since you've had this job? Nobody's going to ground you. Nope.

So, you know, well, according to Hunter, they will, though, because they still live at home. So I guess they got it. Oh, that's true. Just get the piece of paper. Yeah, just get it. If you start it, finish it. That's my only suggestion. But I wasn't saying.

If you are going to start it, finish it. Okay, I want to clarify this. You know, it's okay, because I love my parents. Yeah. Yeah. It's okay to live at home. But. But be productive while you're there.

I was sick to, hey, you've got to give something to. Yeah. Be productive. Yeah. Cook dinner for them. Know the grass. Do whatever. Work.

You need you. They should never towed another bag of trash. Yeah. Yeah. Like, there's like all. You're living at home. You should take care of all that what March not about. I think everybody on earth should work at a grocery store for a year too. Well, you know.

Well, maybe not even a grocery store, but you should work somewhere where your name's on your shirt. Yeah. Sure. You should have a name tag. You should have it. Mine is at Super 1. Yeah. Mine was at TP outdoor.

I learned more at Super 1 than I did in college. Yeah. Well, hey, you've got to start. Somewhere. Yeah. Learn how to the biggest thing, too, I think, you got to learn how to communicate with people. Learn how to talk to somebody. Like, sales is a great starting job because it forces you to learn how to communicate.

Sales, serving, all those things. Figure out how to talk to your fellow man. And you might be better off not in one of them, switch to other one. Yeah, go move. But at least try it. Like, figure out how to communicate. I was a waiter for two weeks. Oh, hey, variety.

Variety is a great thing. Oh, absolutely. I'd hate all of us look the same. You know what I'm saying? What if there was six billion of you? No, no, that's what I'm saying. It wouldn't all have them boots. Friety is a beautiful thing.

Point your toes. Yeah, it is. It's the spice of life. Yeah. It is the spice of life. But, yeah, I had no idea. This is where we go. I didn't either, but that's because I had this one email pulled up.

That's where all the men have got. It said, I'm getting married. Because Gracie, 20 years old from Carlisle, Kentucky. Congratulations. She's getting married, which is funny because I think that's part of where we started to go, too. Like, now people are getting, how old were you when you got married? I was like. 28.

You were 28. I was like 16. Which is late, really, when you think about it. Yeah, but here's deal with me. I'm just going to be honest with you. Had I tried to do that at any point prior? No, it would have been epic failure. It would have been epic failure.

It would have been epic failure. Me and Alice. failure. Me and Allison often look back and wonder how we weren't. Well, no, because that's one of the things. When you look at it, okay, you got two individuals. Yeah. With all their hang-ups,

they trusty people, everybody's got hang up. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, we're human. I just tell you, I was not willing, and I think part of that comes from a relationship for me with Christ, I was not willing prior to that to die to self. Like, self was everything.

Well, no, no, yeah. And especially being an introvert where I was like, I'm the only person that I talked to for the most part. I mean, I'd go home and, you know, whatever. With your mustard packet? Yeah, just chill, you know, like all the thing. But I'm saying, like, until I got that relationship, I'm hanging out with you boys, like, I was not willing to die to self.

I was it. Like, it was me and my schedule. It's hard to get over and get by and get without itself. Yeah. But learning who Christ was and learning even more about it and realizing all of that, that helped me be willing to die to self. And I still, I mean, I still am selfish because I'm human, right? Like, I mean, we all still fight it.

But it's a lot easier now to say, whoa. Well, this is, it's always a struggle. A war is always going on there. Absolutely. Yeah. Always. I can tell you, if I'd have got married any time prior to that and to forming that relationship of Christ, I would have been divorced.

Well, that's why. Quickly. That's why when people say, okay, you know, who was probably the most important person in your life that you respected and looked up to and wanted to be like? Yeah. And we're talking, what we're talking about here is a leader. Yeah. Okay. But when you get right down to it, if you ask for the definition of leader, you know, you probably will never hear the word a servant.

Yeah. But that's what Jesus was. great people that I admire and respect. Servant leaders. He's servant leaders. Yeah, lots of good books out there. Is there always wondering, how can I help you, sir? Yeah.

Or how can I help you, ma'am? All the best bosses you ever had. All the ones you remember. Yeah. Are always coaches. Yeah. Coaches, same way. Yeah.

Yeah, servant leaders. Y'all, now they was rough on you, okay? And they did it for you, though. It wasn't for them. No. I don't know. I think some of it was. Well, no, no.

They, I think they chuckled about something. Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Coach Salas. You learn more if you serve. Oh, yeah. But I still think.

You'll never learn if you are the so-called leader. I still think they got a good tickle out of watching us bear crawl. Well, no, no. Oh, yeah. You know what Coach Bristow made us do? Coach Bristow is one of my favorite coaches of all time. And people either loved him or hated him, but you always hated him to start. Yeah. But then once you realize what he was getting at, all of a sudden, he was like,

oh, this dude's awesome. Oh, I didn't realize that. Same. Coach Salis couldn't stand him as at West Monroe. Left West Monroe High School. It was like, then you came to your sense. Man, that guy was awesome. Yeah. Well, but Coach Bristow, it happened before. Like, I realized it before. It was bad, but the day I decided I think I wanted to hate him forever was the day it wasn't my fault. The bathroom was disgusting but I flushed the toilet but somebody didn't so the whole team was on the track and we were doing lunges oh yeah and we were practicing flushing the toilet with our foot so you had to do a whole lap of lunges and pick your foot up and pretend you flush the toilet and on the way down you had to go whoosh if he didn't hear the whoosh he yelled at you or start over yeah

it was awesome go back and start it again yeah coached out same way man westminster high school same deal if the one player on the team did it, you all suffered for it. You didn't watch that one player. Anyway, Gracie, there's your answer. Yeah. About your wedding. Actually, you did answer it. She wanted to know how old we all were when we got married. Oh, yeah, 20. Because she's 20. Allison was 20 in like five days when we got married. Yeah. And then she just asked for advice, and I think you nailed it with the dying to sell thing. Yeah, man. And Austin, good luck, especially if Gracie's an only child. Well, you got to realize that though. That's not from any experience.

You know, the two people that get married, you've got to realize that. That's why when it says, okay, you know, you need to come to marriage counseling. Oh, yeah. And you do because you don't have any idea what you're fixing to have to go through. Me and Allison were so smart. We knew we didn't need that. How quick did y'all end up there? We didn't.

Somehow, some way. Really? Yeah, we just ended up in a disaster and a mess, but, you know. Oh, yeah, we've done it a couple of times. You know, we could have used it. The pride got in the way. Yeah. Well, no, no, at least you have a glimpse about what's fixed to come up.

No, Allison just needed to ask me if she had any questions about how marriage was supposed to work, and I was going to let her know. Yeah, I had all the answers. It was really going to be easy. We didn't need any counseling. All she had to do was like— All you got to do is remind me. Hey, what do I need to do here? And I tell her what to do.

And everything was going to be okay. And somehow that was a little rocky for a while. Yeah, it was what it was. Did not work as well as we thought it would. No. Anyway, Clarabeth from Keystone Heights, Florida. Keystone. Smooth.

We're going to go a little different direction here. All right. Because this is actually a hilarious question to me. I was curious, what is one food you ate too much as a child that you cannot eat anymore? She can't eat teddy grams because she ate too many as a kid. Or what's that one food you just can't eat? because when you look at it, it reminds you. Oh, we talked about this on the last one with God when you weren't here.

Like, growing up, not this, but for me, we were, Godwin was talking about a mayonnaise and tomato sandwich. So look, growing up, look, growing up, that, seriously, with my grandparents, that was a staple throughout the summer. Yeah. Because of the garden and because of money and because of everything else. And Mamma had the line of you will eat it, or you will wear it.

I don't know what, I never found out what wearing it meant because I just ate it. I was scared to figure out what, dang man, what wearing it meant. I'd like to have a time machine so we could find out what wearing it.

But one thing you boy, ain't going to eat today is a mayonnaise and mater salmon. That's why I don't like, ain't happening. That's why I don't like mayonnaise. But everything, I mean,

I try to remember like all the other things. I had to take a serious break. You know them chicken and a biscuit crackers? Oh yeah. Chicken and a biscuit, yeah. They're weird tasting. Mm-hmm. But one time.

They're unique. I ate basically a package of them. Ooh. Then washed it down with, like, some orange juice. Oh. And then proceeded to throw it all into the toilet, into the bathroom. It was everywhere. Yeah.

And I couldn't look at a chicken and a biscuit cracker again for decades. Yeah. But I'm back now. I can have one. Okay. But I thought that was an interesting. Sive? Yeah.

What did you eat as a kid that you just can't even? Old old mayonnaise sandwich. Yeah. That's it. Manet. Different stuff on it. Oh, here's a good one. Yeah.

mayonnaise. Whenever I was in junior high, I helped out with the kids church and we did all these little Bible skits and stuff. And there was always Bible man, which wasn't me. I was evil man, which isn't a great thing to have kids at church remember you by. But I was teaching them what not to do. There you go. And one day I was supposed to pop out.

And I knew that. And I was going to scare people. And they all had this great plan that they were going to hit me with a pie in the face. They didn't have any whipped cream. That you knew of. No. They did not have any whipped cream.

No, they didn't. Did they hit you in the face of mayonnaise? Not just mayonnaise. It was mayonnaise they found in a closet at a church. Oh, so it's like rusted oak. That had been there. It was soured mayonnaise. Yeah, soured mayonnaise.

And when I tell you, the problem with that is, when you get hit in the face with a pie when you're doing kids church, I just threw up a little. You think. Yeah, Billy Loveland. You were in a judge. adult man why would you do this to me our post office worker yeah billy and lindy thought it was the funniest thing ever i'm in junior and so i feel the pie of my face and i'm like oh gosh i open my eyes there's white stuff i'm like oh whipped cream yeah no so then i knew what was coming oh oh yeah i knew what was

coming there yeah the kids are all cracking up i go the bathroom i may throw up martin yeah i think i heard you gag i did oh no no i'm telling you i don't i don't i don't i don't i don't The second floor of WFR Church right to the left of where Bible Hour is, I once threw up all in that bathroom. Yeah, that's what. In my mouth. Soured mayonnaise pie to the face. So a buddy of mine.

Not to say I didn't deserve it. A buddy of mine, we worked out together during the summer at West Winnerville High School, and he knows my thoughts towards mayonnaise. So when we, Wednesdays was cardio day. That was when Coach E. ran you to death. And I love Coach E. He was the only person to make you run with a smile on your face.

Like, he was great. But my buddy, whenever, like, he'd notice I'd get winded, he'd walk over to him and he'd say, man, a warm scoop of mayonnaise right now would, and every time, I would just. You throw them every time? Not every time, but if I were already on the verge of running until I was puking, that was the only switch I needed. He'd be like, man, just could you imagine a warm scoop of mayonnaise right now? Right now, going down.

And, I mean, just. I like, man. now. Oh, man. But that one ruined mayonnaise for me for a minute. Yeah. No, I'm out. A mayonnaise pie to the face is brutal.

I just don't like it. There ain't something. I don't know. It's weird. Just the sea of it. Yeah, something. I like sour cream. I like sour cream flavored stuff, but just a big old glob or sour cream.

The word sour is literally right there. Yeah, I know. But like sour cream and onion chips are good. sour cream just a big old scoop of it and all the dips that we ever go when we go out Big Bill.

Oh yeah. I stay away from them. I do. I'm not a salve guy. No, no. I love a good sap. Hey, we got invited to another wedding. Uh-oh.

The emails are full of wedding invitations. If you're not busy and want to go to North Carolina in September, we can... Well, that say dating must not be that bad. We can go... We're still having weddings. Yeah. Bailey and Travis's wedding, which is in a jail?

I think. Oh, no. Hey, I think that's one of the most things I get from the fans. His wedding invites? Yeah, wedding invite. We should start showing up. He stopped you on the jail, so I didn't know where we're. No, it seems like it's a fancy jail, like some sort of historic jail.

Oh, it's an old one. They turn into a wedding venue that Bailey. But you know what? Travis, it's jail. Well, it may be because her her fiancé. A fiance. A while. one and he's been there.

A fiala. I don't think they've been to jail. He feels at home in jail. Or perhaps there's just an affinity towards handcuffs. Well, hey, well, hey. They may have a handcuff. They may have a handcuff. Anyway, going back to the best memory.

They want to know what the best memory in our marriages are. Apparently Martin and Brittany's involved handcuffs. Or if there's something special, you do every year or day. Apparently Martin and Brittany's involves handcuffs. We got an agreement. Just to keep the spark alive. handcuffs in the jail. Hancofs are painful.

I ain't in the pain. What about them pink fluffy ones? Hey, I ain't. Pink fluffy ones, oh, I didn't know they had them. All they got them. Yeah, you and Willie would have been cuter in those. Yeah. What's the best memory in your marriage is Bailey's question before she gets married in the jail?

I don't want to take too much, but I'm super curious what this jail is. Best memory. I don't know. I guess my was when she finally said yes, and I don't think. No, no. And look, and she said it just so that the people that own the restaurant where it's at could go home. There you go. Her saying yes is a pretty good memory.

Well, no, no. She said yes just to get us so that they could go on. But I kept telling them, hey, look, it's important. Leave us alone. I don't, I don't. Yeah, I don't know. You don't have the one that stands out. Well, I mean, there's a couple, obviously, when I heard the squeal after she.

took a pregnancy test and I was like, well, you don't squeal because it's negative, you know, and I'm in there in a living room watching something on TV. I don't know, probably Big Bang Theory or something. Then he squealed once found out of two. Well, I just, well, that didn't happen

for a couple of months, right? That actually is my favorite memory of your marriage in that video right there. But then, you know, last summer getting the picture of her being baptized is a really, you know, I mean, so there's like all kinds of Yeah, so there's all.

That was a wild one. I mean, you try to, I don't know, you'd have to really split hair. I'd love to have that on camera. The other face, when they were in the ultrasound, when the other face go up behind the first. Buddy. It's on it. It exists. We have that.

We have that. It exists and it is real. And Brittany goes, what? Hold on a minute. Did I have trouble scanning you last time? Yeah. It's like to the right. You got two babies.

And maybe that's why we were having a tough, a tough time. I told you. I told you. Oh, my God. You see, there's two babies in there. That's why we had a hard time scanning you last time because we couldn't see everything we needed to see. Are you kidding?

It is hard to pick one. I don't know. Bringing Carter homes up there on ours. Yeah. That was a wild day. Yeah. And then wanting to take him back because of how scary that was. Eat this dude till he's on his own.

Yeah. Y'all sure we can't come pick him up on he six? Yeah, that was a rough. day. But it was a good day, but it was scary. Oh, boy. And then, that's good. Now that our kids are older, it's weird, because now it's like these family, sadly, like, Disney Worlds up there. Like, it's just this weird thing where we get to, we get rid of our phones and we go have fun together. And like, those are super special moments these days. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. I mean, I, I file one the other day of me and the boys just riding around and the side by side. Now that they get what

they're looking at, you know, obviously that wasn't new, but now they're goats, pond, tree. Like, I'm like, okay. Like, now they're putting together the whole world, you know, so it's like, which is really cool. And they can't say some things, but somehow they can say Kawasaki is clear as day. And I'm like, what? Like, how did y'all pick up on that one? Like, how does that one work? But, you know, you still can't say Jackson clearly. Like, yeah. Hey, Ben said banana mina. He would say the word banana.

But then he'd add mina on, and we don't know why for like years. If he wanted a banana, he'd go, can I have a banana mina? And I'm like, well, just stop. Yeah, where's the mina? Yeah, stop right. When you say banana, that's the end of the word. But he, for years, he was a banana mina. Yeah.

And now he still says it as a joke sometimes. Oh, shoot. Well, you got any questions over there? Let me look. I still got it. email. Yeah, keep going. And let me see if I can cue something up. I wish Godwin was here to answer this. And did he update

last time he was here, and I wasn't here, on his grandkids? Yeah, he did. Yeah, he did. They're in separate rooms. They're in separate rooms, but I think they still just have one supply is what he said. Like, so, I don't know. But she's, you know.

He updated, though. Yeah. So Ashley, go back to the last episode. When I wasn't here, Godwin was here, and you will get that answer. But thank you. Yeah. For that question. Oh, here's, here would be a fun one. If you could be a duck, which one would you be?

What species of duck would you be? Well, thinking about as I've seen too this morning, and I wasn't sure if they was woodies or teal. Yeah, could be either right now. It would be either, yeah. What would you be, Sire? Wow, that's a good question. Yeah, I'm interested.

Because really a duck, they're unique. Yeah, yeah. I would probably go, and I hate to say it because I know I'm going to get shot. I'd be a green wing teal. At least you'd be fast. Well, at least, yo, I could move out now. Straight me as more of a gadwall. I don't know.

But, you know, my shovelers always make me smile. Allison on here says, what's it like now having both Allison and Brittany back to work easy or difficult? Allison asked, my Allison asked that? Oh, different Allison. Oh, wow. I was about say, I'm, my Allison. Allison's not technically back to work yet. Yeah.

She's been working a lot this week, but my whole life's about to get flipped turned upside down. Yeah. But you ain't got to drive out there anymore. That's cool. You don't have to take that. I actually did the gas savings for a year of her going out there and then staying out there and then coming home. And it was like $900. Yeah.

But, yeah, so Allison was a stay-at-home mom out of necessity. We've talked about Carter's story enough on here. I don't got to go into that. But she was going to be a teacher. Carter showed up and no longer going to be a teacher. teacher. Way bigger her fish to fry there for a while. And then it just worked out to where we kept having kids. She never had to go to work. And then last year she looked up and started subbing out there. And she was like, I think I want to do this. And I was like, well, you got a degree in it.

And then she didn't get a job that she kind of wanted. And then like a week ago they called like right before we left her vacation was like, hey, somebody has found a new job. We need a second grade teacher. She said, I'm in. So. Yeah, and Brittany is. We're going to figure that out. Everybody provided. Amen, yeah. Look, Brittany is just part-time.

So it's actually good for her because she needed, there's two. You needed a break. She needed a break from the boys. And look, moms, if you're listening to this, dads too, maybe you're staying home dad. There's all kinds of different ones. It's okay to need a small break from your children for yourself. You deserve it. Yeah, and there are times where I think it's appropriate to be self-reesome.

and you need a little alone time, which is totally okay. And for some of you alone means going to have conversations with other humans, like humans that can communicate with you, not just kids that point and say words and, you know, tell you they love you all the time. So, but she loves it. Look,

she's, what she actually doing? She's back being an orthodontist assistant. She works with my mother. Yeah, she worked. Now my one thing is like, Sissy always selling or something. But,

uh, I said, you went back to work and all you do is pay a sissy. Like, we're at like a net zero every other week on this deal because Sissy getting it all. That's fun. No, man, but I think it's good for it because she's got the community of working with other people again. I mean, I think that's super important where stay at home moms a lot of times can end up isolated. Yeah. So I think making sure to keep that community is a, I think it's a very valuable thing.

And, you know, the fact that you get paid for it, well, cool. Check back with me in three months, and I might be under the fetal position because Allison ain't cooking gourmet meals every night anymore. Yeah, your dining will change, I'm sure. We've discussed it in full. She's going to get that pot back out on the side. We're going to try and figure out something edible from the crock pot. Oh, speaking of that.

That woman can cook. I done spaghetti sauce last night. How was it? Oh, it was fine. That was the best I've ever made. I love that. Proud of you. That's awesome.

Hunter, you got any voicemails? You got one that's entertaining? Yeah, I've got a food-related one and a Duck Dynasty-related one. Food? Okay. Just kidding. I was going to root for the Duck Dynasty. Well, we can do both.

I think it would be fun. We're on food right now, though. Yeah. Yeah, I know. We need to get off of it. Now I'm hungry again. I'm starving. Disney World ruined me.

This is Grant Tyler, and I'll say, where I'm from until the end of the call. That's okay. You're from Texas. For sure. I want to know what was some of the weirdest, um, food concoctions that you've seen. I had a girl in my, uh, middle school class and she ate strawberries and ketchup together every day for lunch.

Oh, what's your weirdest food concoctions that you got? Um, and I'll give you a second before I tell you where I'm from. We know where you're from. You're from Texas. He's from Texas. I'm from Alabama. All right. You're all right.

Roll tide. We tried. Yeah. Strawberries and ketchup's gross. Yeah, that, why? You need to find. That girl from junior high is on, she's on a most wanted list somewhere. Yeah, why?

You need to find her and report back to us what she's doing with her life now. That's the kind of stuff they make Netflix shows about. Yeah, she's, she's got skeletons in her closet. We love real ones. The Robertson's love homemade ice cream. Worst ever made. Oh, here we go. Oh, I know this one.

Oh, no. Butter scott. Butter scotch ice cream. Yeah. Look, everybody, I took one little bite of a teaspoon of it, spit it out. All of the rest of the family ate a bowl of it. And then they were sick for two weeks. Yeah.

So, so butter scotch ice cream. Now, granted, he's not even three yet, but Whalen. Oh, no. He loves. dipping pepperonies in guacamole. It is one of the weirdest. Like, it is out.

There's guacameroon a good pepperoni. It is. I used to like that kid. I know. And I mean, I look at it and like instantly start belching, like heartburn. I'm like,

how does this little kid? But he, and he's so particular about what he eats is what makes it so funny. I'm like, so you don't want a piece of steak, but a pepperoni dipped in guacamole And you're in.

Okay. Okay. I don't like avocado. Okay. I just don't. I don't understand. Kids are weird. And I kind of hope he grows out of it, but it's also hilarious whenever.

I mean, it's, you could feed him that every night for dinner right. Well, no, that's like sage. And he would just, you know, she'll eat a hot dog. Just, you know, forget the bread. Just a weenie? Just a weenie. I'll do that. If I'm hungry, go by the fridge, grab a cold weenie.

Hunter, you got anything weird? Hunter, is this, this, this, what do you do currently that may fall under this category? I don't know, like I eat seaweed with ramen and I, you may seewee. Yeah, but you've seen that on Food Network. Well, that's, yeah. I mean, I read a lot, I eat a lot of ramen, but no seaweed. Oh, it's great. Seweed's actually pretty good.

Yeah. No, can't be. Yeah, it's not bad. Wait till you all find out about chicken. Well, find out about what? Well, chickweed adds like a sea salt kind of flavor to it without like the,

you know, grass taste really. I mean, I don't know if this is weird, but I make a lot of egg sandwiches, but I'll toast my bread and I'll put so much mayonnaise on it. Oh, get out.

Uh-oh. Get an eggs and mayonnaise sandwich? Yeah. I knew what was going on. I can't top that. Have you heard of bacon? You know, I have, but.

In my tiny apartment, I don't like the smoke. Or, oh, he don't like the smoke. Yeah, perhaps a little thing called sausage. Yeah. Or salsa. Salsa goes great with eggs. Yeah. Jimmy Dane hot sausage.

You know what's better? Not mayonnaise. Mane. Nah, I get out of here. That's gross. My nieces like to mix ketchup and ranch and then dip chicken in it. I refuse to try it. It seems weird.

Yeah, I doesn't. I mean. And then I follow this guy on Instagram who's some health nut. and like I try to be healthy, but I like to eat too. But you like pizza, kind of like me. Yeah,

I'd rather eat it. I'm not going to have pizza. I've given up on any six-pack dreams about, you know, 30 years ago, and I'm okay with that, but this guy's like, this is how you get a six-pack. He cooks beef,

just ground beef, like a taco bowl, and puts bananas in it. And I'm like, I'd rather be huge. Yeah, I'm out on that. I'm out on that. Tacos and bananas.

I don't see what? You're running. Two good things there. Each by them, each by themselves. They're perfectly fine. He posted all the time. He's like, my favorite go-to meal prep lunch. And I'm like, I don't think you should do that.

That's like Liz and Christine always ask me for the guy. Hey, what can't, what do you want, you know? You ain't ever said tacos and bananas. Well, no, because I always always say fruit, okay. Yeah. Y'all go by the farmer's market, give me some fresh plums or something, y'all. Yeah. are,

she said, I said, right now, I said, I noticed you bought them big, uh, freados,

the big scoop fritos. Oh yeah. I said, what kind of sauce do you got to get it? So she brought me this, pint jar of, it's called big red. It's got a little heat to it.

A little heat. And look, if you open it and use it and don't refrigerate it, you'll go back in there and it'll have a mold on top of it. No, you got to refrigerate this stuff, but it's really good. What are we talking about? Why do you keep trying to make me throw up? Well, hey, no, no, you'd love it.

It's a good deal. The problem is, like, if I crack, here's the problem, and that's why I don't buy salsa for the most part. If I crack that lid on it, it's gone. I'm going to eat the whole frigging thing. No, no, no. That was, all I had what left in was about that much. That's what I'm saying.

I don't. I ate the whole fight my nits. Fritos and... Hey, the big scoop, Frito. It's one of the things I absolutely love about Chick-fil-A's breakfast stuff because the boys like eating, they can get like scrambled eggs in a bowl from Chick-fil-A. But their little packets of salsa is so good.

It is so good. Whatever salsa they're putting in that package is good. Daily Press got a good salsa packet. That big bread is good. What are we at? I have no idea. You know what's good in Frito's scoops? What?

My new favorite food. is Mexican street corn that's basically corn covered in mayonnaise. Pilates. Yeah, but we made a dip with some Frito scoops. Oh, yeah. You want to talk about goods.

Oh, Dr. Dean cooked some of that spread mayonnaise and all this stuff over grill corn. Oh, it's so good. Yeah, that's true. Oh, that's the best. Oh, it's so good.

The Mexicans figure it out. No, Fritos sco scoops were designed for one thing and one thing only. It's corn dip. No. No. A big block of processed velvita cheese with sausage and rotel. That's a good point.

All cooked down together. I thought you were going to say that bean dip. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not seven-layer dip. It's got that, because one of the seven layers is sour cream. Seven-layer dip. I would like you and that. Get rid of six of them. I had the scoops.

Yeah. I had some chili. I had a bunch of cheese. Yeah. And then I had the sauce. Yeah. And I mixed all. Yeah, I like regular Frito's like a Frito pie.

And I mixed all that together. just a conglomerate. Yeah, you want Willie Roberts. Oh, yeah, it was good, too. I ate the whole thing. Yeah, there you. And then I was miserable before two hours. I'm miserable just thinking about it.

Well, we got a Duck Dynasty, voicemail. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Hey, there, fellas. It's Chris Coy from Kitchen, Ontario, Canada, calling again. Yeah, wasn't I got that. Canada nice, baby. How friendly was the start of that? Hello, there, fellas. Gonna go have me some putteen and

do some curling with. What's that protein? Mexico's so much. much cooler in Canada, by the way, just because of the food. Go ahead. Ontario, Canada, calling again. And I've been re-watching all of Duck Dynasty previously. And I want to ask one simple question.

How did Uncle Syneill the door so well with a ninja star, but he couldn't hit a stack of red solo cups with a baseball? You guys have a great one? Love the show. Do you remember that? No, I don't. I do. You remember?

I don't remember that. I don't. I vaguely remember the Ninja Star, but I remember Si throwing that baseball at them solo cups, because that was like season one maybe. That was back when this warehouse was still very much a warehouse. Yeah. How far was I told it? I don't know.

We weren't more than 10, 15 yards. Oh, okay. We weren't that far. You just kept throwing over it. Like, best I remember, you may have. skipped a couple when you got mad. But yeah, you could not hit them. Is this when y'all broke the store?

What did I do with the Ninja Star? Apparently, you threw it into the door, but I don't, I don't remember. Hey, this thing is, hey. Yeah, I don't recall. Now, I will say, even with Sai, he is good at throwing bladed objects, like the little, the little game where you throw pocket knives at each other's toes and you start spreading each other out. Yeah.

Like, Cy was really good at that way. We would play that down there at Philly K's. Like, you just, Sa always had that pocket knife. So, what? You ain't ever played that? No,

I have. You played it with Sye? Yeah. Hey, that sucker can stick a knife in dirt, buddy. Like, yeah,

I throw a knives at toe. You just stretch yourself out. Like, you get it to where, you know, if he sticks it in the ground, you got to get you toe over to it. And,

you know, it's kind of like redneck twister. But. I'm watching Duck Dynasty and Sy's crap. I was cracking up because I broke willy sword Your face of junk Oh, that's the samurai saw.

Yeah, samurai saw saw. I googled the... Oh man, Martin took out a couple gallons of tea. Yeah, that was fun. But I was looking to see if there was a... Didn't we get a watermelon? I mean, we pretty much went full gallic. Oh, yeah.

Now, y'all broke a bunch of stuff that day. Yeah. But I was trying to see if that was the Ninja Star, but apparently not. Look, that thing... I'm just watching this. That was relatively... be dangerous.

Hey, back in the day, you know, neither did we. You don't know dangerous. You can kill a person with it. Yeah, I don't remember the Ninja Star. I can't find it on the internet.

Oh, I was impressed with that. What, Ninja Star? Yeah. It had about five blades. But wasn't that Jeps? Was that? It was about five blades and,

hey, you just, you do it like a frisbee. That sucker, hey, you get stuck with it. It's not very often. It's not very,

oh, I found it. That I don't. I don't recall. But throw it up there. Yeah, we're just going to watch this whole clip. Because it starts with side playing with a mace. Okay. And that thing's dangerous.

That stupid thing with a big ball on the end of it. Yeah. That thing's dangerous. You hurt yourself for that thing. But you talk about a weapon. Where is that? I think I take it. Oh, pawn shop.

That's at the pawn shop. That's at the phone shop. You know, hey, respect your elders. And hey, I'll tell you, if everyone on them had a cane sword, hey, there'll be a lot more respect around here. Ninja Star, man. Saw. Saw.

Saw. You're a danger to society. Hey, it's a ninja star. I'm probably going to have to call my mom. Yeah, that's at the pawn shop right down the street there. And I was actually willing to bet when I listened to that, that voicemail. I was about to have to disappoint Canada, that pro might have been TV magic.

That was a clean throw. No, there were no cuts. There were no cut. That was a clean. There were zero cuts there. Cy throwing a ninja star through the door. Hey, the coolest thing that pawn shop's got.

You shouldn't be allowed in pawns shops. No, no. I'm with Jeff. They've got a, it ain't a rangatang. Did they have a whole monkey? Oh, no, no. And look, and guess what he's got in his hands?

Oh, not an alive. A K-47. Oh, a taxidermid one. Yeah. No. No, no, look. You claim that there. Look, and you didn't buy it?

I should have. Yeah, you should have. It was really cool. Hey, back then he couldn't afford it. I couldn't afford it. Arangutan. He could go buy it now. There's an orangutan.

With any orangutang he's got, uh, I think it's like a baboon. Yeah, it's a baboon. That's what it is. How much time do you spend in a bone? Look. I want to say they used it as a cutaway in that episode. Yeah. Now that I remember.

It was baboon and got teeth this long. Yeah. And he's got an A. four and seven you walk around the corner and that's what you're looking at yeah yeah yeah i think now that he says that i think i remember seeing that as a cutaway but hey he was wow oh you're talking about hey you're talking about a mean animal the baboon what hey he's got he's got teeth like a shark i don't hey i've seen plenty of the day but i ain't messing with them hey my best one is hey the best one for me is it's the silver back gorilla what

Hey, that's another time for another show. We got the time, man. That boy is bad to. We didn't even get to hardly any of the things I thought we'd get to. Yeah. Welcome back to the duck caught, right. Hey, that just means we got more stuff to talk about. We did give out a lot of marriage advice today, though.

Yeah. And I'm just going to hit you with a little First Corinthians 13, 6. All right. To end it for marriage advice. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. If you want marriage advice, just be honest with your spouse. Amen. And it ever fails.

There you go. Boom. Boiya. God is love. Oh, all right. We'll see y'all next time. Hey, that's one of my favorite songs. I know it is.
