All right, we ready?
Johnny D over here scrolling up pictures of Hawaii.
Well, I'm still looking for that.
These Google searches over here are wild.
He's been on the tax assessor.
Martin, have you been over there with Johnny D?
I've never sat right here.
This is weird.
We're 460 episodes in and this is the first one.
But I now having sat right here for, I don't know, a few minutes,
understand why Sigh never pays attention to any of us.
Well, because there's.
Because you're 80s.
HD self over here on Google.
Yeah, he's going to Google.
You look up some stuff.
Yeah. Well, I met a kid named River who had a,
I don't know if it was a terrible or great mullet.
And his whole family said they went to the beach.
And I was like from New Orleans.
And they were like, yeah.
And they went to Holly Beach in Louisiana.
I didn't know that was a thing.
Never heard of it.
Well, there's Folly Beach on Lake.
No, I've heard of Holly Beach.
You've heard of you?
Yeah.
No, you haven't.
Holly Beach, Louisiana?
He's usually right.
Well, it's a real.
real thing and that whole family went to it and it's got sand i may go those pennsylvania's i was like
wait till y'all hear about florida man that looks like mosquito country though oh it is it is this louisiana
never i appreciate your mullet yeah anyway choice is questionable welcome back to the duck call room
ladies and gentlemen hope you hunter when does this air thursday Thursday well we hope you had a great
holiday weekend if you're just now catching up with this is our first time back in the podcast since the holiday
again. Happy birthday America. But before we get started, would be remiss to not mention the tragedy
in Texas, you know, crazy deal over there with the flash floods and everything. And shame on
the ones who are trying to make that a political stance on one side or the other, that was just a
bad deal. So our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by it. The crews that are there
cleaning it up and now, I guess, into recovery missions rather than.
and rescue, like, unbelievable.
Yeah, just a terrible deal, man.
Yeah, we dropped our kids off at day camp this morning.
And you don't expect anything to happen just like those parents didn't.
Yeah.
Because the camp mystic's a big part of that.
And, you know, you don't know when natural disasters are going to hit.
And we don't know why.
And yeah.
Right.
Like, I'm sure there's a lot of people questioning why, how, you know, all the things.
And I know it's easy to say sitting here in Louisiana.
but man, just lean into Jesus during this time, family.
Yeah, that's right.
I know it's a tough time.
You're going to have way more questions than you'll ever have answers on this deal.
And just lean into Jesus, lean into those around you because I know, I know personally in Louisiana, especially,
we've dealt with a lot of quote unquote natural disasters as far as hurricanes.
And when you see a community rally around itself, this is,
when you really see the best of the human race
is when things like this happens.
That's right. And you know, and my heart
goes out, I mean, to everybody involved.
And if you've ever worked with kids,
if you've ever been responsible for keeping
kids, you know,
I mean, that's just...
You keep looking at me.
Me?
Yeah.
Because he's not used to looking at it.
I'm used to looking at a crossbook.
I think you're trying to say,
I take care of this kid.
And you do.
Yeah.
You do.
Well, I watch after this.
one kid. I mean, as long as he ain't driving, everything's fine. But Martin, thank you.
That's absolutely right. Let's keep them in our prayers for the first year. I know we got a lot of
fans in the great state of Texas. So, and I'm sure some of them to this extent listen to us
that were probably directly affected by this. But know that, yeah, we'll lift you guys up
and all the recovery efforts and all the things, you know, and man, it just, it sucks.
There's no.
That's the only word to describe it.
I mean, I can't think of, I'm not even going to try to sugarcoat it because there's no, that's disrespectful to it.
It just plain sucks.
And yeah, being a father now, seeing that kind of stuff, it's just, I mean, it's a different take on it.
Because I was, while those families were dealing with that, I was out on a lake with my two boys on a pontoon boat, watching them see stuff for the first time, do stuff for the first time.
So, I mean, I can't, I can't even fathom what you guys are.
going through.
But I know somebody that can.
I know somebody that has and I know somebody that will.
And that's Jesus.
Yeah.
For sure.
Yeah, man.
But anyway, it was a interesting holiday weekend.
We had some fun.
We did some things.
I caught my biggest small mouth bass ever.
That was kind of cool.
Cy, you had a good weekend, huh?
No.
Thy party.
Hey.
Hold on.
Hey, where did it start?
I walked in this.
him I said,
Sa,
you look like
you're in a good mood.
He goes,
I'm spiraling.
And I said,
out of control.
What happened?
Well, first I lost playing poker.
Uh-oh.
Time out,
time out.
Do we have any video evidence of this?
Before we go further,
when Sae admits defeat in poker.
That's defeat.
That means it was bad.
No,
but he gave a speech before the game.
I think I sent it to you,
Martin.
You sent it to me,
but I'm had to send it.
I had to run for about an hour
in one every pot.
Okay.
Then it went south.
Oh, here we go.
His name was Sam Houston back in the day when Santa Ana was marching around the Alamo.
Well, that's what I'm going to do tonight.
Hey, the Mexican said no quarter.
I'm taking no prejudice and, hey, I'm killing all.
He's wearing a shirt straight out of Alice in Wonderland.
That's it.
What was that song playing in the background?
I got no idea.
Listen to the witness.
Anyway, that ain't the worst of it.
Then it goes worse.
I go to film today, okay?
And I'm following Christian.
He's in a four-by-four.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, time out.
Yeah.
Mistake one.
Here we go.
Follow him.
Mistake one.
Mistake one, you followed Christian.
Well, anyway, we were six to go over at his house and film.
Okay.
So I follow him.
He goes and he goes to a very narrow bridge.
But he's in a four-by-four.
Yeah.
My truck, you know, it's a 4-4-2.
So I thought I could make it, but I made one bad little calculation.
It was coming around a curve, and I didn't get lined up properly.
So I just heard a little, you know, and then I'm off the bridge, and I said, that don't sound good.
So when I got up, stop a pair, it ain't good.
Okay, it's all the way down one side.
Wait, timeout.
Wait.
Which bridge?
This has got, if you were following Christian on a side by side,
that means you were at Willie's house and his pond.
Yes, and I went, we down to the driveway and went right away.
Wait, you went.
You went across the bridge at the dam?
Yeah.
You went across the damn bridge?
Yeah, I went across the damn bridge.
You tried to fit through that?
Yeah, I fit through it if I.
Oh, you did?
No, the sound says, I can barely walk across that.
I want to see this.
I sent me this video while he was talking.
This is it.
Bruh, that's the left of your truck.
Yes, it is.
Oh, my goodness.
And hey, all I'm doing is waiting for what's next.
A lawsuit?
Did you hit anybody?
Well, no, no, because when he said they were looking for somebody, I said,
oh, I've done something in Arkansas, they're looking for me.
That's what becomes next.
The law's going to show up to my house and arrest me tonight.
I hope.
Well, he doesn't.
But did you break the bridge?
I don't know.
I told them.
I go check your bridge.
Hey, that's a darn fine bridge if it held your pickup truck.
Well, hey.
Dang.
It's a small bridge.
I did.
Is that the bridge we fish off of?
Uh-uh.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
This one's way bigger.
That one's way bigger than this one.
Yeah, because your truck should have made the one across the water.
Well, no, no.
It would make that one if I'd lined up properly.
That's stupidity on my part.
Okay.
I don't know.
You know, here's what I tell you.
You know what I think of when I see that.
A lawsuit?
I think of your brother.
No, I think about Al.
When we pulled up down to the boats apart,
Al, we come back in from hunting.
Al puts it in reverse and just the door's open.
He tears one door off one side.
He hangs up between two oak trees and he just says,
well, I don't tore a door off.
He put it again, you're just all the way down.
down both sides.
But me and Phil,
me and Phil were down there working on something.
I don't even remember what during the summertime.
And he looked at these two trees kind of like that.
He said,
do you think I can make it?
And I said,
I don't think so.
He said,
I think we're good.
Yeah,
I think we're good.
I said, okay,
that's fine.
And so,
boom,
he drove.
He said,
he was just as he's driving,
he said,
and then he got out and looked and he said,
well,
he said,
no,
he said,
this thing's two inches narrow.
than it was.
It'll fit next time.
He said next time I'll be able to go right there.
I'll have to go right there, boys.
That was in that old black Toyota Tunders there,
T-1,000, whatever that thing was he had.
I was trying to find a picture of that bridge.
Oh, man.
That's what.
So I've been known.
Where were you going?
The Christian's house.
The film.
So right outside there is a road.
Like a major highway.
Four but four and went through there.
I should have made it through there.
It was a bad driving on my park.
All you had to do was go on the highway.
I'm going to go by there tonight because something tells me Christian didn't go back and check the bridge.
Probably didn't.
So I don't admit any.
I told them.
I don't care.
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 Triedales beef.
such a good product, baby.
Ain't it good?
It's so good.
Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say,
buy on the grill!
Look, before we got Tritels,
getting ready for a cookout,
man, somebody had to run the grocery store,
do all the things,
grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day.
And you never really know where that beef comes from.
But with Tritels beef,
we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.
Tritales comes from a family ranch out in Texas.
They're a fifth generation American ranch.
So they've been at it for a while.
Now look, the beef comes straight from their ranch
And other ranchers they work with
Who raise cattle the same way
Their steaks are properly aged
And shipped straight from the ranch to your door
We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill
Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire
That's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what
When the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living
You can taste the difference.
The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic
So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season
Go check out Tritale's beef.
I know in size case Christine loves
which is just a
she doesn't eat meat.
She ain'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'm going to quit my next question
because I think I know this answer.
Are you going to get your truck fixed?
Yeah.
Oh, you are?
Yeah, we'll get a thing.
Oh, okay.
I just figured you'd leave it.
No, no.
I figured that'd be our problem one day.
No.
I would leave it.
I wouldn't fix it.
Hey, I did pop that one piece back in for you, though, while I was up there.
It was hanging by a thread.
No, this was just, hey, it starts with S.
It was stupidity on my part.
Hey, you can't spell stupidity without S-I, buddy.
Hey, he said he was going to write a country song about all this stuff happening to it.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Look at that.
That is a small bridge.
It's tiny.
I love it.
I appreciate the effort.
Good for you, man.
I could care less.
He said, don't care.
You.
We do have a special guest in studio today.
Holy moly.
Y'all, we can confirm.
Hunter's girlfriend's real, y'all.
There we go.
She's real.
I met her this morning.
Olivia is in the house.
Olivia, welcome to the duck call room.
I understood that you didn't want to be on camera,
so we'll respect your wishes on that.
Am I right in that?
Yes.
Have you changed your mind?
No, no, I have not.
Just checking.
All right.
Oh, she will not change your right.
Hunter, are you nervous?
A little bit.
Hold on, but that's not different than Hunter every day.
Yeah, that's just, that's just Hunter.
Hunter's just nervous kid.
Hunter.
If this helps, you've chosen well.
You have.
I appreciate it.
You did good.
Yeah.
We're proud of Hunter.
Hunter's what a five foot, 10 inch ball of anxiety looks like.
She's laughing because it's true.
She knows.
Yeah, she's mad.
him. She said one of us got to be the needy one in this relationship and it ain't me.
Olivia heads up. He's weird.
She's just this weird.
Hey, easy.
Hey.
Hey.
You watch it, man.
That's funny.
So if you brought her to work, this is getting pretty serious, huh?
Oh, is it?
Oh, wow. Oh, wow.
He said, is it? Oh, wow. He don't want to jump ahead.
Well, I saw his face leaning towards her out. They're about to make out.
That's going to be good.
You'll start kissing.
I'm leaving.
We're going to have to hang her curtain in here, boy.
Hey, no wonder, Si, I wanted to switch sides.
Oh, okay.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, because I'm blocked out over here.
Now the truth comes in.
See?
He always been a ladies, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Hunter turned off the microphone and just whispered something, by the way.
I caught that.
I told her she needs to get closer to the mic.
Oh, poaching her up.
Okay, okay, all right.
So what's it like Dayton Hunter?
Oh, wow.
Well, I was quick.
Just that, I'm curious.
Five foot ten ball of anxiety.
Accurate betrayal of him.
But he's the sweetest.
He's the nicest boy I think I've ever dated.
So, there you go.
I've never dated him, but I will say he's very nice.
He is a sweetheart.
He is a respectful human being.
Yes.
Although he's perhaps wound just a smidge too tight.
He finally found a good one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, Olivia, I don't know.
know if you're aware of this but when hunter had a breakup before you one of our fans said he's
going to meet his next girlfriend very quickly i'm not going to tell you how that story ends because
i don't want to write one for you all but yeah i need to find that email yeah johnny d's probably
got that email that guy emailed but he basically called your existence and that this would happen
because it was like weird on the timeline of how it worked it was it was it was a cupid yeah
it was an impressive yeah i'm not impressed by prognosting
Ostications very much, but this one was, this one was wild.
It was.
That one's the one that was mad about us talking to Hunter because we're friends.
How dare you?
How dare you make jokes with your friends?
Heaven forbid we do something like that.
Most people don't understand that, JD.
So Olivia, how long have y'all been together?
Well, we dated before in high school for two years.
And then we started dating again in April, March, March, March, March.
So a few months.
now.
Okay.
He just needed to grow up a little bit.
Oh, wow.
It's true.
Okay.
What goes around comes back around.
Okay, so now we've pulled up in a new wound.
What was wrong with first version of Hunter?
Other than he needed to grow up a little bit.
Are you asking her or us?
Her.
Ryan.
Ryan did it.
Ryan did it.
Ryan said, I guarantee you, now that Hunter is off women, which he said,
he will find the love of his life within 30 days.
That was January 23rd of this year.
See?
There they go.
Look at there.
The prediction has been made.
Brian?
I'm not going to read the rest.
I'm not going to read the rest of that email because I don't want to put any pressure anywhere.
But we got until January 23rd.
Yeah.
Oh, 22nd.
Yeah.
Both give them 20thrd.
Yeah.
At 6.26 a.m.
Ryan, why are you emailing podcast at 626 in the morning?
That's weird.
All right.
Anyway.
Sorry.
Sorry.
So welcome, Olivia.
Yeah, we'll try not to bring you in too much of this.
But we might.
We never know where we're going to go.
You never know where we're going to go.
Because I don't, how do you all work over here?
I can't even see my timer.
Oh, okay.
We're only like 18 minutes in.
That's cool.
Oh, we don't let Sisy the timer.
Oh, that's probably a good look.
Yeah.
Your big heads normally in the way.
Well, I know if he blocks it, I know I block it.
You block it.
Good.
But you went to Chattanooga.
Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Did you go to the Little Debbie Park?
No, I did not.
You go to see a Choo Choo Choo Train?
We didn't go to the Choo Choo either.
No, we stayed on the lake, man.
The boys rode, it's not their first boat ride,
but it's probably the first one where they were basically not vegetables.
They were walking around the boat while we were under power?
No, they.
they had some fun though whenever we'd hit those hit like boat wakes because obviously 4th of july
weekend you know lakes lakes are busy places a lot of bouncing well and they they they really enjoyed
the bouncing up and down standing on the boat so it was and the swimming lessons were great because
that's what they did the whole time was they stayed in the pool um your kids can like legitimately swim
oh yeah they're swim swimming yeah they're swim swimming they're not like just bobbing no they're
swim swimming. They are hands, feet kicking all the things. And like, what surprised me about that was
Jackson was probably like the C plus student of the swim lessons, I would call him. Like, I mean,
he passed, but he did not thrive. While Whalen looked like Michael Phelps out there, like just
one of them deals is just natural to him, like just like no problem. Jackson was always fighting
and thought of the time. But Jackson would not quit swimming. Just slam the whole time. I mean, it was
unbelievable. They had a little basketball and he wanted to go get that basketball. He would
throw it out there and try and go get it. It's a good time. Yeah, a good time. What a time to be
alive, right? Sight wins the last time you just went swimming for funsies. I don't know that
he ever had. He almost went filming today. A long time. Do you own a swimsuit? No.
Oh, man. Not anymore. What a bummer. At what age do you just stop swimming?
That's a long ways
Yeah I'd say about 35
Yeah that's way back there
I was swimming this weekend
Oh whenever I was swimming this weekend
No man
I was in there to catch my son
But I was not swimming
That's swimming
No I was just in the water to catch Jackson
I was not swimming
That's swimming
Bro I just stood there
Even if you just got like a popsicle in the pool
I got in the pool
But I didn't do any
You know flips or cannonballs
I let all the young people do all that
I did do a cannonball.
There we go.
For a draw shot.
Hey, the last time I remember, a good memory.
I know when he went swimming last.
I know when it was.
Oh, it was.
Yeah, it was. I know when it was.
This was on Red River when I was a teenager.
Oh.
That's your last good memory of swimming?
Yeah.
You really missed out a lot of good times.
We wasn't swimming.
We'd get in a shallow water and lay down and do our fingernails like this.
You didn't catch the fish that come in between us.
No.
Yeah.
You saw that old bloodsport.
No, uh-uh.
Yeah, that's when John Paul Van Dam was blindfolded catching gold.
No, no, no.
Hey, I'm telling you, I called a little old drawfish by that long.
And he just, he got me on both sides of my fingers.
He bit.
I did catch you.
You caught her.
Yeah.
Y'all didn't go to the pool?
No, we, hey.
I don't reckon there was no pools.
There was a pond in a pool.
Everybody had to have had a pool.
No, no.
My mother, when she would get sick of us,
okay and it was what I say sick of us it was how many feel and me yeah yeah got left out when
she'd get sick of us you'd load us up the falcon drive 15 miles up river pull over to the levy
come and get out and I don't want to see you till supper time and that's why you don't like swimming
no he's traumatized then we would hey go to the river push a log find a log you know push it out
it down come to a sandbar in the middle of the river yeah people call that a float trip
these days make a whole day out of it was it was fun all right when we were in the bahamas
sye was on a float in the pool when martin did a cannonball on him i would love to have seen
you remember that's a picture of that yeah i got a picture of it and then also i need a video of
that also uh me and sigh snuck over to jace's house when he was out of town oh i was right
I was swimming.
And we went swimming in his pool.
That's the last time I went swimming.
Y'all snuck in to Jason's pool?
Did you go skinny dipping in Jason's pool?
No.
We had blue jeans.
Hold on.
You swam in blue jeans?
Voluntarily?
Yeah.
But sigh jumped off at Doc and Duck Dynasty, too.
I remember, like, because he didn't tell the sailman.
Oh, I did.
Yeah, I did too.
He said, you can't jump to water.
or not today.
It's,
it's 80 degrees or 180 degrees.
It's August, okay?
I think it get wet.
I got waited on,
idiot.
You better do something this back.
Well, hey,
he ignored it.
So guess what?
$1,000 got wet and ruined.
And ruined.
You, sir,
are in error.
Yeah,
because they,
the last thing they heard
after that little conversation was,
was,
ah!
Blush.
Push.
That's wild.
So you went swimming, and it was fun.
Well, of course it was fun.
Thank you.
We always keep jumping and pool.
It was hot as Hades.
I was wearing big chest waders.
Are you a cannonball man or a flip man?
I just run out there and lay straight out.
Come wade back in and the sound man was going.
I said, I told you.
Martin's a cannonball man himself.
I tell you.
That's all if I'm doing it for video.
Otherwise, I'm just going to step off into there.
I don't really like getting wet all at once.
I got too much PTSD from duck season.
All these times I weren't swimming, now coming back.
Yeah, there you see, there we go.
We actually went swimming home in Hawaii.
Yeah.
Okay, into the ocean.
And that was the coolest thing in the world.
I'm sitting on the board waiting on a wave.
and I see something coming up.
I like swimming pools where there's no wild life.
Something is coming up from the bottom of the ocean.
From the deep.
From the deep.
And hey, guess what it is?
It's one of them big giant sea turtles about big around that table.
This thing comes up like a pet puppy right up against me.
And I actually pet his head.
They will throw you in jail for that.
No, no, no.
the lady that was my safe,
you know, lifeguard,
he was behind me.
He said, I live in this ocean, literally,
all by life.
He said, I've never,
she said, what is with you,
you know, Robert?
And I said, what are you talking about?
He said, that's a giant sea turtle
and he'd come up to you like a puppy.
Johnny, he's got a clip of you in the pool
at the wellness center.
I have found into what magic.
You and apparently
Season 7, episode 8
of Doc Dynasty,
which I don't know that I've seen.
Look at Al.
That's a while.
Is you and Jeff at the gym swimming?
Do you remember this, Martin?
No.
Yeah, I remember that too.
Oh.
I remember, is this a one word,
but I remember Al getting hurt.
Is this where Al got hurt?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait.
Stop.
Who was that?
We've now found out he is not a cannonballer.
I don't know if we can show that we...
That's a plank dive.
Well, he just...
He just fell in.
He just goes hard as a board and just falls over.
There it is.
Diff is a board.
Whoa.
Okay.
Why has somebody not made that a gift?
Oh, you got to.
There's Kay.
This YouTube doesn't work that well.
We've never tried...
It looks like I was shot.
I hit my hand.
Yeah, I won't.
Somebody shot me.
See, he said he doesn't like swimming, folks, but I have video proof of duck dinosaur.
I bet Jeff wouldn't take his shirt off today.
Now, Jeff don't look like that no more.
No offense, Jeff.
No, Jeff and I all kind of swap places.
Oh.
In that video and where they are now, this is a little bit of a difference there.
Oh, man.
Well, I know he went swimming at the Redneck Water Park, too.
Oh yeah, the redneck water park
Yeah, that one hurt
That one hurt me
Yeah, I said that I had me swing off that excavator
Yeah, it hurt
Oh, my rope swinging abilities
Wouldn't what they used to be
Rope swings are hot
Well, it's way different when you do that stuff sober
Yeah, but I yeah
I didn't, I want to make a good tarsin
You wouldn't have?
No
Not enough upper body strength
No, not enough upper body strength
Just a swing in
Yeah
Allison still every year
Goes off the diving board
does a flip till she can't.
But she only did it like one time.
Oh, really?
At 34, she's still got it.
She's done it already this year?
She did it last weekend.
Okay.
And she said, I'm not doing that again until next year.
Like a back flip?
No, just front flip.
Just front flip.
I'm a dive man myself.
What you dive then?
I just dive in.
Oh, just dive?
Oh, belly buster?
No, I had to jump up, do a little swan dive.
Oh, okay.
I'm pretty graceful for a big guy.
Well, you're not near as big as you used to be.
What was that?
What was that?
What was that?
Well, hold on.
that Hunter just...
Hunter just snored at you?
He choked on his own...
Oh, I was thinking it was the other thing.
Uh-oh.
I said, somebody's cuts of cheese over there.
It was just a funny saying.
Do I not look graceful for a big guy?
I've never seen you dive.
Would you assume I'm not good at it?
No.
I shouldn't.
I wouldn't.
If he's ever seen your vertical, he would.
I probably wouldn't say,
Jay D looks graceful doing that.
Okay, I probably don't look crazy.
But the people at the country club thought he was.
I feel graceful.
Never been a member, sir.
But, well, hey, feeling and looks are different things.
That's true.
Oh, man, alive.
Like, where do we go from here?
I have no idea.
Oh, man.
We got real uncomfortable for a second.
Sire forgets about getting in the water all those times.
I was like, I ain't been swimming in 50 years.
I can remember doing it.
Videos of him swimming all over the internet.
Christine would have straightened him right out, though.
I generally swim at least once every duck season, but again, not voluntarily.
Involuntary, yeah.
Yeah, that's in a mad panic to get out of the cold water.
Oh, man, shoot.
Anyways.
Okay.
So what you do for the fourth?
Besides lose it poker and scratch up your truck.
Did you shoot firework?
Nothing.
No, the neighbor did.
Did it?
All night long?
That is a win.
They kept boom.
I'd be in the bed.
I said, what was that?
Well, on your street.
That's a real question.
Well, yeah.
You know?
Because sometimes you can tell it ain't firework.
It's a gun going off.
Yeah, September.
Why somebody shooting fireworks down there?
That's a real celebration.
Good thing said, where did they duck on around here?
And I said, what are you talking about?
He said, oh, I was sitting on a porch yesterday afternoon and night.
There was a war going on below us.
Yeah, that's just a Hatfields of McCoys.
I ain't no ducks season.
It could have been fireworks.
I don't do no fireworks.
You don't?
Why not?
Well, because somebody that listened to this last podcast had more fingers than the time that they're listening to this podcast.
No.
Oh, no.
For sure.
Oh, no.
The odds are, is somebody going to blow their finger of hand or thumb off?
Well, I saw that one video from like Lake Martin in Alabama or something.
What happened there?
Where the bar is caught on fire.
See, I don't like.
And I mean, then it looked like the streets of Beirut.
Like, I mean, there was, there was, there was a, uh, fireworks factory or either.
Oh, in California.
You see that?
Uh-uh.
Burned up, blew up.
Boom, boom, boom, pow, pow, boom, pow.
Yeah.
And then that's it all, all cool down.
Yeah.
If that's the one, it was a body found in it.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Cover up.
Because that may have been a different one.
I just liked it on the news.
They said, well, now that we've had time to check it.
going through it
that sounds like your criminal minds
body found
but the problem with fireworks
is
um
it is literally lighting money
on fire fireworks are expensive
although yeah
yeah we spent way too much money
when I was a kid
they were cheap like you go
you go you'd spend 10 bucks
and you'd have an afternoon
now it's like
$95 and it's
boom
yeah jump attack
but they're dangerous down
have you all seen the videos
where the guys they light the firework but they throw the lighter down and take off running with
the firework like accidentally and they're over there and it booms on all of boom oh but i saw this one
this one what oh oh so you know what side needs to see terry in the uh back up terry put in reverse
have you ever seen that side you ever seen terry trying to set the fireworks
oh terry is a legend we got to show you that video terry is a legend we got to show you that video
legend in all of
the 4th of July lore
I don't remember what holiday
it was. We have done digressed into a
podcast. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Back up.
Back up.
You got two cars coming two people away.
Look at Terry.
What you're doing, Terry?
Terry! We've become this podcast, people.
We just show clips of others. Look at how big
that is.
Bag up, bag up. Bag up.
Bag up, Terry? What are they reversed?
Terry?
Baby, Jesus.
came me.
Terry was on a float in his hometown this year
for the Fourth of July parade.
Martin
found a video of some kid
they light his Roman candle.
Hold on.
There's a kid and he's got to be three or four top.
He can't be older than four.
They lighten his Roman candle.
He takes off running into the house.
To the house.
What?
I hate fireworks.
Hey, I laughed that that was so hard because I really feel like that's what
Wayland or Jackson would do.
If you lit one, they're going to take it to like their safe space because they want to go
play with it.
They're going straight through the door.
Oh, Carter was mad at me on the 4th of July because it is his favorite holiday.
And he was like, dad, where's the fireworks?
I said, we're not going to like.
money on fire this year.
We let Jason Missy light their money on fire for us,
and we watch those.
So, like, we're good, aren't we?
He was like, no.
Oh, y'all should have come with us.
We had some of that goes up and then blows up,
that's like $120.
Oh, yeah, and you don't get it back.
No, it ain't.
No, it's no returning.
It ain't 120.
Short-lived.
Inflation hit fireworks.
Oh, oh, this hour.
Oh, it's crazy.
Well, I knew I stopped at one time
when it was talking about getting a young
was going to do it.
Yeah.
I'm like, JD, I got to walking through there looking at the price.
Yeah.
Because they put it on them.
Mm-hmm.
And I said, no, I ain't got, I'll go.
Yeah, I'm not going to divulge how much we spent on it, but I'll just say this.
Our fireworks show lasted 26 minutes.
Oh, no.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Yeah.
That's some serious cash.
About 26-Hundo.
Yeah.
That's all.
That's some serious cash going up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's not even like, oh, we don't like this anymore.
Let's sell it for half what we've been.
It literally blows up.
Oh, but it smells like America, man.
It's just a smell like gumpowder.
You know how much better a hot hog is?
It's like smelling duck season in July, man.
But I wonder what they spent in D.C. up there on that one.
I don't know, but there was one on Lake Chicken Mogadere in Tennessee
that we went to the night before.
Yeah.
37 minutes of non-stop fire.
I was like, it was so long I got bored.
I was like, I mean, how much more stuff can we watch blow up?
It's dangerous.
If you get somebody to shoot fireworks professionally,
do you all remember when Si had his 50-year anniversary
and they shot the fireworks out there at Missy and Jason's?
And that was a huge show.
Yeah.
And that was.
It ain't cheap.
How much was it?
We just a bunch of amateur.
More than you're thinking.
More than I'm good.
20?
No, it was below, but it was expensive.
It's in a thousand.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, several thousands.
Oh, I know how much a self-produced one cost us this weekend.
I can't imagine hiring a professional.
Hey, when we were...
We're walking around a lighter.
Hey, I don't remember what year it was, but WFR Youth Group Party way back in the day,
they were across like this little valley-type hill, and they were set up on another hill,
and they had them all where they were going to light and then go to the next one,
and light and light.
And the first one, they knocked that.
sucker over and it was just boom boom boom boom and then you'd see like random dads just running out
of the smoke i was like it's a bad deal here dang i don't like fireworks well no all you got to do is
look at jason pierre's paul's hand one time and you won't mess with him oh yeah i ain't trying to hold them
no but i did have a buddy in my hold one they lit it and he was just going to wait till the end and run some
water on it and he was laughing and everybody was in his house they were like throw that thing outside
he was like right at the end he put water on it like it was going to go out nope no it blew up in his hand
i mean then it caused a lot of damage oh yeah yeah yeah this is when we need to have like an er doctor
on here yeah yeah i got a friend who does not have a thumb well no no no it was from high school
and it was from a firework and i'll never forget the first time i met him weirdest handshake i've ever
i guarantee if you went to the emergency room and checked what are you laughing at it was before july
weekend. Oh, that may be a cool place to hang out. Oh, I'm serious. You go and check. I guarantee you
there was a bunch of people come in with bow. Do we know any stuff with their hands?
ER doctors anymore? Curley used to be ER nurse. No, I'm telling you, my buddy, I didn't know.
I met him at a church thing and I was like, hey, man, good to see you again. And I went to shake
his hand and I said, whoa. And I looked down and he just don't have a thumb. What did he say?
Well, he didn't say nothing at the time. And I was, I said, and I said, and I said, you know,
I was like, I got to ask about that eventually because, I mean, that's, there's no thumb there.
Yeah, so what happened?
And so I was like, what happened?
He's like, fireworks when I was a dumb kid.
That makes him a handicapped big time.
Yeah, no thong.
No thumb?
You can't, hey, that thing is useless.
I mean, he's pretty impressive.
That's what they used to do, the old kings back in the day that they captured the king and they cut off their big toes and their thones.
What?
Oh, that's not true.
That is true.
What movie have you been one?
Oh, let's go back and look it up.
They cut, why would they cut their tongue?
They capture the Kings, because it handicaps them.
Your thombs and your big toes are cut off.
You got nothing.
If you ain't got thought.
I mean, I can think of some things that I was trying to torture somebody.
I'd cut off before their toe.
Like their tongue.
Yeah.
Or their ears.
Try no thumbs.
What are you going to cut off their ears for?
They still work.
Everything there is inside.
Yeah, but you just look funny.
Well, yeah.
I mean, it's torturous, sure.
What else were you going to cut off?
We're going down a path.
I noticed you had to self-edit on the tongue and ears.
Where else were you going?
Just start like them cows.
You get a rubber band until it falls off.
I've never thought about this.
You need somebody to say something.
I'm not starting with their toes.
If you ever capture me and you start with my toes, I might hold out on you.
You start other places?
I'm singing like a canary.
Buddy, I've known you.
I've known you for a while.
Now you're going to sing for the knife
everyone comes out.
I was fixing.
You're going to sing as soon as you captured.
They're going to be putting you in cuffs
and you're going to be saying.
I'm a lie.
I'm going to say, was that guy?
I'm out of here.
He's going to be looking over like Furgy and Jesus,
right.
Don't bother.
Don't bother.
What are you going to know?
Yeah, I'll tell you it all right now.
You don't lock me up.
I'll tell you right now.
Hey, bring me a dirty rag
and let me put it on that Rolex ahead.
is he'll start squealing.
Oh, hey, no chance.
Wouldn't take that long.
That's true.
That is true.
Hey, I'm a rat too, though, man.
You're going to tell it?
Well, I mean, depending on what it is.
Just don't hurt me.
Yeah, like, if it's somebody doing something stupid, I tell him.
I ain't worried about it.
He's going to tell it.
I probably won't be there by the time.
Hey, did anybody in your family, your brothers, was there one person that would go squeal?
Him.
That'll tell him.
No, so I wasn't a tattle tail.
He was just in the phone.
No, no, because, hey, because back then, okay,
it was simply running around half-naked all the time.
Okay, you got worms a lot.
Okay, so they had to deworm the kids.
What?
Yeah.
I'm serious.
This was a monthly thing.
You know, you know, you must have you got deworm once a month?
Boys, get in here and get your worm.
Oh, no, because, hey, you just appeal.
well they she would give like me a time in phil and phil you know he's tricky okay because he looks
like his wallet and then we'd walk away and next thing he'd do it he'd go behind the uh behind the kitchen
so phil wanted worms he too he too well he threw it away he didn't he didn't like
this man didn't like medicine okay period okay even the one yeah mama mama would come and
said, okay, everybody line up again.
We'd line up.
You said, here's your pill, here's your pill, here's your pill, here's your pill.
Here's your glass of water.
Throw the pill in your mouth and drink the whole glass of water.
And then I'm going to inspect the inside of your mouth.
Because Phil thrown away every time.
Hmm.
He didn't mind the worms.
Me and Tommy was rat on him.
Did you ever have worms?
Yeah, I had worms.
Where were they?
Huh?
He still got a tape worm.
Did you poop them out?
Well, no, yeah.
You saw them?
Oh, yeah.
At night, did you see them?
No, no, I'm serious.
Hey, that was just, that was part of growing up.
Okay, I'm interested now.
I'm serious.
You pooped worms.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
Well, you would drop a load.
Yeah.
And look, there'd be worms all in it.
Wiggling.
Well, see, I've always heard that.
It's like bread into humans.
That's why if you take a duck, like 98% of people look at it.
Well, no, no.
It's because you're checking for work,
not because you're impressed with what you just did.
No, you're trying to tell how much weight you lost.
It's like innately in you to look at it.
Oh, when you was a child,
yeah.
Mom, every time you used the number two,
don't flush it.
She's coming in inspect it.
Oh, she was coming in.
Really?
Oh, no.
Yeah, she wouldn't inspect it.
And she wasn't like hunting for a ring you swallow it.
She was just looking.
And if you needed another pill.
She was checking, you know, and then said, well, okay, okay.
You know, I ain't been.
20 days.
Well, we've got to redo it.
I say, I'm this fast.
Because you got them again, y'all.
But you got to think about it.
You run around barefooted all summer.
I don't think it makes it from your feet to your stomach.
Does it?
Hey, I'm telling you, they do.
Oh, I just figured it was because of what y'all's eating.
No.
No.
Oh, we ate good.
Well, I know you ate good, but like the process of cleaning things and storing things has come along.
This was just part of growing up if you, you know, like, you run around.
worm?
You run a pair footie.
You know, you got worms.
Well, when you had them, did you go out there
and, like, scratchy butt on the yard?
No.
Like them dogs do when they got?
Are you saying everybody checks every time they go number two?
Yeah, there's a study on it.
Like, and it was because it's innately bred into.
They said that it'll eventually go out
since worms aren't a problem.
Do you weigh yourself before and after every time?
You don't?
No.
Just to see?
No.
Like you ever, like, how's a two-pounder?
No.
No, but I have had some, I feel famous after it.
I'm like, oh, God.
I mean, some of them, yeah, I kind of wish there was a scale in there to catch it.
I have a scale right beside it.
And it's like, all right, I'm just talking about like in the bottom of the toilet.
Of course you got on.
What?
A scale in my bathroom?
No, I buy your toilet.
By the bidet.
That's weird, right?
Where is I going to put it?
It's not like separated.
Well, your kids don't use your bathroom.
Oh, no.
Yeah, I just figured you make it tired of standing and pee.
Oh, God.
No, it's a, I mean,
well, them Kia's got terrible.
There's a couple steps.
It's not like I'm standing on the scale and then I just sit straight down.
Yeah, okay.
Kea's never never hit the toilet.
On Friday, you can come look at my bathroom and answer all your questions.
Hey, we're smack in the middle of body training like with Jackson.
It's amazing to see where they can pee.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Like, I just look at it and I'm like, is that me?
What, did I do that?
because that's awesome.
Some of the best pictures of Carter from his childhood
are him peeing in random places.
Oh, yeah, we peed out in front of four gas stations yesterday.
Just on the side.
Hey.
He won't go.
He won't,
he don't want to pee in the toilet yet,
really.
I mean,
he will,
but he loves peeing in the grass.
So,
like,
we get out to stop coming back home and he say,
T.T.
in the grass?
Yeah,
heck yeah,
we're going to go.
So we're standing out there.
You know,
he just, you know.
Yeah,
that's what him and sigh have in common.
He got a hold of it,
but he don't know.
how he don't know that he's steering it so like every time you know he looks up smiling because
he's happy next thing you know you're getting pee on your shoulder you know it's like hey hey hey
yeah him and sir are identical we're going down the road and so i'll just say hey pull over
no you want rest exit no i say pull over pull over why would you go to a rest xx
uh-uh no wherever we're at that's the beauty of males yeah oh no what's the lady's name
oh ivana evana
Take a trip
Good looking
Good looking woman
I'm talking about
Okay
Y'all and I said
Darling
She's what
I said pull over
She said
What's talking about
We got
You know
I was town
I said no
I got to go now
He's got this
He's got this
I said
Pull over
You know
She said
Well land down there
I said
Hey pull over
And just close your eyes
I said
I'm gonna walk behind
The big truck
I said
Yeah
I've had people
Actually I'm standing
Back there
On the side
They come by
And waving it
Yeah.
You asked her to close your eyes.
You didn't want to put lust in her heart.
Oh, well.
This is the most artistic photo I've ever taken.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Jackson got a stream like that right now.
That was Carter back in like six years ago.
You could pee over a tin rail fin.
I turned over, I said, man, that's a pretty sunset.
And then I noticed Carter just had a beautiful rainbow arch right beside it.
It is fun.
I just, because all the parents like that are stopping at them gas station
and the rest areas and stuff.
They know where we're at and what we're in,
so they're all just giggling too.
They're like, yeah, been there.
You know, it's just,
it's crazy.
But we did.
It was a big day for him, man.
We did not use a diaper for him yesterday.
What?
All right.
Like, every time,
he wouldn't pee until we stop.
Like,
every time he had a dry diaper.
But boy, when you would stop,
he was like, I need out.
Like, let me out of here.
Let me out.
That's a game changer.
Meanwhile,
his brothers are so we're pissing in a seat.
Like, yes, Whalen, you want to go to the other guy?
No.
Do they take their own diapers off?
Yeah, he pulls them down, pulls it down to his ankles.
No, no, no, no.
After they've gone in the diaper,
will they then be like,
I don't want to sit in this and then come hand it to you?
No.
That's never happened?
No, because we don't use them tabs.
We use ones that are like, pull up.
They're like underwear, but they're not pull-ups.
Benz would have taken that.
I'll be doing that.
Benz was like, I don't like sitting in this.
All of a sudden you'd look and he'd be handing you something.
He'd like, what's that?
And why are you naked?
Yeah.
And it would be his dirty diaper, pee diapers.
You need to change me.
Why you point at side?
That's what side does when we're going out of the road.
Oh, when he pees in his pants.
Yeah, he's like, hey.
Uh-uh.
A game rolling his eye.
That's hilarious.
Oh, shoot, man.
We got the bathroom humor covered now.
Well, it always is.
But, hey, it's just the stage of life I'm in right now.
I never know where Jackson's going to pee right now.
So, that's beautiful.
But I'm here for it.
Anywhere there's not a diaper, man, if we can just cut that expense in half,
I'd be thrilled.
Like, it's, uh.
Yeah, them things are expensive.
Yeah, especially for you just ball up and throw in a trash can.
Yeah.
And save it.
Save me people that are saying, well, use cloth.
Yeah, stop.
Like, I ain't.
Not there yet.
Like, don't know that I'll ever be there.
Like, I'm poop as poop.
How much are diapers these days?
Not cheap.
Like 50 bucks a box?
Wow.
For a box?
Mm-hmm.
Holy.
I mean, into a box.
Like 140.
Depending on your size, like 120 to 180 or something.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Still pretty expensive.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh-huh.
Times two.
Whoa.
Because mine don't get to share.
Hey, y'all, be sure to use code duck and check out.
Mine don't share.
Just for Martin's sake.
They are two different sizes.
are they?
Yeah,
the one,
Waylon's still rocking in a four
Jackson's busting out of a five.
I'm trying to get him out of diapers
before he gets up there to a six
just because I don't want to,
I just don't want to do that.
I don't remember the size.
I mean,
he looks like a can of biscuits
when you put that five on him,
but it's still,
it still works, you know?
This is how we had,
look,
this is how we had to do Benz.
I'm going to put this on the screen.
I got to get it from my phone
to my computer real fast.
This is what we had to do
with Ben's because,
he would take his diapers off and just come hand them to you.
Oh, yeah, this is why we're off of tabs.
This is why we had to use them pull-up style.
We had the world's most magical product known as duct tape,
and we would duct tape a diaper on that boy.
For real?
Uh-huh.
It won't, there it is.
You just put a layer of tape around that.
No, one layer ain't enough.
He'd get rid of that.
You'd had to, boom, boom, and then he couldn't take it off.
Free spirit.
Yeah, it was awful.
I am.
He's nine now.
That's insane.
Yeah, he's made it.
Yeah, he can do whatever he wants now.
That's crazy.
We're old, bro.
I know I am.
I'll be 40 here in a few weeks, so.
I don't even swim anymore.
That's how old.
40.
You will be 40 soon.
Yeah, it won't be long.
I'll be the big 4-0.
They all ask me what I was going to do.
I said nothing.
You're not doing anything?
I hope not.
Unless somebody makes me.
You're going to tell you if Brittany plans a surprise party for you?
Yes, I'm sure.
you'll be involved somehow.
I'll slide you some business if you let me know that that's coming.
That's right.
Why I can plan something on top of it.
You got a snits for him.
That's funny.
All right, well, we want to close with a verse.
I don't even know we were almost.
Or maybe, why don't we do this instead?
Hey, Side, why don't you say a prayer over all those Texas families instead of closing
with a verse?
I was trying to think of a verse and I literally couldn't even come up with something.
So I actually loved that plan.
lift up all our fine folks in Texas
that are going through a legitimate
living nightmare.
I mean, so.
Y'all buy your head right quick.
Father, we bring the state of Texas
to your throne room.
We ask you to a special
request to bless all those
people that are involved with that, Father.
All the first responders,
all the divers,
all the people that are trying to work
and help help
out on the situation.
You know, it's just one of them things that most people don't understand about, you know,
they don't believe in the flood that's written about in the Bible.
They've never lived on a river.
Because the water in the Waterlupy River rose 26 feet and 45 minutes.
Bless all those that know about it and can help in any way donations of money, you know,
donation of time, be with all those that are
searching the river now for survivors.
Hopefully, you know, none are
forgotten and all the people are found.
But we ask your divine intervention on that, Father.
And we ask you through Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
Amen.
All right, folks, we'll see y'all next time right here in the duck cover.
We're out.
