I feel bad for the people going up against the chosen. Oh, that's unfortunate. I just got handed it to them. Oh, here it is. So who are they up against? I'm just curious. I'm trying to figure out who we need to come. Candice Cameron Bureau podcast.

One of those looks markedly different than the rest. Yeah. One looks more like the chosen than anything else. Just dudes with beards. That's fantastic.

It's like a beard commercial. Well, hey, good for them. Good for them. Go vote for them for them for them. Yeah, absolutely. Go support us. Let's have some fun. Plus.

There's Zach Williams. That would be cool. That may actually be one way where Phil would leave the house to go accept the award. I doubt it. I'll go accept it. Yeah. Oh, can you imagine the vest he's going to wear for that? Golly.

It's even funnier because his daughter's in here today. We do, and his grandson. So we have a live studio audience in here today with Alex and Corbyn. So if we make funny, you call him pop, right, Corp? Pap. If we make fun of him, just laugh with us. It's fine. It's all in good fun.

And he'll fire back, so it's all cool. Orban, do you own any vest? No, he doesn't. He's not trying to look slimming. He's a very thin young man, so we're not trying to. I was wearing society's camouflage, so it's fine. It's all good. I can't laugh too much at this.

Society's fun. I love it. Yeah, women call it a corset, men call it a vest. It is what it is, boys. But anyway, no, Johnny D, look, last time we were here, you were going on your birthday celebration to report. That restaurant's good. Freddy's is good. They got really tiny French fries.

Oh, so that means you're crispy. And I can eat French fries with the best of them. I once thought about entering a contest. I haven't yet, but I could win. And yeah, I just crushed French fries. Really? It was awesome. But it's very crowded.

The burgers were okay. They were hamburg. Ice cream. Good. Because it says burgers and ice cream on the sign. They should put French fries on the sign. Okay. That's what you want to go get.

That's an honest opinion. Yeah, we went. It was fun. My mom and dad came. Big Dave, let me go home from work early. That was probably the coolest part of my birthday. Didn't even tax you for it either. He said, hey, why don't you go ahead and go home today?

I said, what? Well, speaking of work, was that since you left early, is that the day that y'all got shoplifted or what? Because y'all went viral with a little post. The honeyhole outdoors. fours went viral with a little Facebook post around the Monroe, West Monroe area for thievery. It, it, it, did, who wrote the post? Me.

You wrote it. So you were big mad when you read. Okay. I, because that was one of the most passive, aggressive posts I've read in a while. So it was like, lo-key, this cat needs a therapist. But, um, yeah, no. So we're at work.

And, you know, choplifting happens in retail. It shouldn't, but it does. And, you know, that day was a little annoying anyway. It was kind of a weird vibe. And then I go to put a rod and reel out and I see just a rod with the zip tile on it. I'm like, well, where'd the reel go? The reels go. The reel has left the building.

And it is $170.70. And so then I'm angry. And I have cameras because it's 23. So I start watching the cameras. And this very nice man who asked a lot of questions was apparently stuff in his pockets the whole time he was asking questions. And you see him, he sneaks back to the,

he had a friend whispered in his ear, coast is clear. He sneaks back to the back, cuts it, pockets it, goes and puts it back. Then he goes to the bathroom, starts rummaging around in our storage part, stole something out of there. Okay. Uh-huh.

Really? And so now I'm angry. And what you should do is call the police, but I was too mad to call the police. So you just took it to the court of public opinion. So I said, well, we'll just see how the people of West Monroe feel. And I was like, oh, 200 people to see it. I think we do have like 15,000 followers on Facebook.

But I wasn't planning on doing this to the boy. So I got a picture of him. And he's now hanging on the wall of shame up by the security stuff. With Exodus 2015, Thou Shall not steal written beside his face. On the post, wanted. Oh, yeah. Carter made a wanted poster of him too Anyway

So then I get a picture of him And I'm like I mean what do we do And I said you know what? I am mad I'm posting it So I just wrote him a letter Explaining to him I answered all the questions he had asked

While he was in the store with his pockets full And then I let him know He's not invited back Unless he returns the reel And then probably still I don't want you to know that And I thought that'd be it Well The city of Westman Row is awesome

them because they don't play that game is what we found out and 1,200 people shared it. Oh. Like, find him. Who is he? Oh. Would you like to hear the numbers? I would. Yeah, I am.

Because this is one of the nosiest areas in America. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So if any of you are. Hunters over there shaking his head. He's the guy, by the way, that had the police scanner the last time we were here. Well, and here's my other deal. I don't know why you would steal

but just if you're thinking about like because this dude woke up like I'm going to go shoplift a few places today because they had a plan and it just yeah you will be found these days it's really dumb to do anyway but if the law scares you and it should and the court of public opinion

because 203,000 people have now seen this guy according to Facebook 42,000 people have clicked on it. I was one of those. Yeah, and I got 409 new followers out of the deals. Thanks, buddy. But yeah, it sucks.

You can keep you real, huh? You feel violated when somebody just takes something from you and is talking to you nicely. They're stealing right from under you. But then it felt good to know, like, we live in a town where that ain't okay. And 99% of people, it made them mad for us.

So did you find out who it was? Maybe. You got a name? That's tight. I don't know the exact number of people that sent us his name, but it was more than 10. And it was all the same name?

Mm-hmm. And his address. Okay. He wrote another. But the police, I turned it up. Dear thief. But dear sir,

I was kind. And then I ended it with love. I wrote it like it what? Dear thief, hope you enjoy the reel you stole it out of my store. Hey, you want to know the best part? What? I hope that sucker's right-handed because he stole a left-handed reel.

I hope he was so nervous. And he had one of them that you switch? No, you can't switch. He just pocketed it. There you go. He just pocketed it $170 bucks and I'm sure he went to pawn it for 20. But if he did go fishing with it, he got out there and said, my hands don't work.

He'll do what one of our congressmen did that fished with us. He'll turn it upside down. And real backwards. And real backwards. He'd be overdoing this. This was a congressman. Yeah. Are you serious?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I'm serious. Not everybody. Fisherman. Do it. Doing it just like it. They can't make it make sense the other way.

I'm like, man, it ain't that hard. How could you ever vote for a man? He did not, he did not catch nothing either. Shocker. Oh, man. So in one Facebook, post you got his name, his address. Well, and I'm not, you know.

No, I'm not asking you to put him on blast. No, I'm not going to put him on blast. But I'm... He's already, that's already happened to him. I feel like justice has been served. Yeah. And, you know, the car, I don't know what's going to end up happening. It ain't, it's a misdemeanor.

I don't know the rules of shoplifting. It sucks. I know in California they don't do crap. But here in Westboro, Louisiana, I'm going to let everybody know who you are, at least your faith. That way, if you go down the street, I mean, there's plenty of what. I don't care if you're at Academy or Walmart. They should see you and say, oh, this guy, it was an operation.

All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good.

Our friend, Sao Robertson would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Triedells, 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 Triedales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales 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 ribbons on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails beef.

I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat me. Yeah, she ain't a big meat eater, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash. support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Now, I've got a personal question asked you. You're a small business man.

I'm nervous. No. No, no. He's a small business owner. No, no, this personally happened to me. Okay. I wanted to Walmart. Oh, no.

Here we got. Okay. He's not going to be on your side. Well, no, no. No, no. Look, there's a ride over here. Okay. With a reel on it.

With a reel on it. Okay, this was back before they had to start tying everything, locking everything down. So it was just the rod that was sitting in the, you know, the reel was fitting into the rod, tighten up. So look, I look and I said, okay, I want this ride, so I took the reel off it, set the reel down. Mm-hmm. Then I went to the reel counter where the reels were, and I put me a bigger reel on this rod. Okay. So I walk up there, put it on the counter, and tell me, ring that up.

She said, the guy, I think of the lady. Not one is a man. He said, sir, that reel doesn't go with that rod. True. And I said, no, that's where you're wrong. Untrue. I said, that's where you're wrong. I said, I want that reel on that rod.

And I'm willing, hey, just ring it up, and then I'll pay you. you whatever it costs. You can't do that at Walmart. I could have made that happen. Why not? Because whoever that was was mixing paint and mopping the tire floor 20 minutes before that. There it is.

They don't know the difference. Now, I know for a fact that... Well, wait a minute. Hold it. Hold it. I even said, wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're telling me no, that won't do. Give me your supervisor.

Dun, dun, dun. Because I want that really. on that ride. You're making it. My first. Here comes the supervisor and he said, no, go put both them back because, you know,

take it off of it, put it back because, hey, they don't go together. Yeah, Walmart they ain't going to do that for it. And I said, wait a minute. You're losing money here, you idiot. They ain't losing money. I'm willing to pay for this. Shop local.

They wouldn't sell it to me. I said, I ain't coming to Walmart ever again. Well, Walmart. Until tomorrow. Until tomorrow. Until tomorrow. But like, if you can't sell it to me. came to me with that same problem.

I would have said, well, that's a $219 combo that dude stole. Hey, that's what I'd have done. The real by itself is $160. Hey, it's going to cost you $350 to buy this. But you can do that locally. You can't, you can't do that with the big boys. Pay the man.

Like, you can't. Why would they do something that dumb? It's not so I can exist, baby. You know what's even funnier. You're talking about the zip ties on the real. like five years ago, maybe six. Whenever we launched Finn Commander,

we did that deal with Zepko where they did a rod and reel combo with us and they asked like, hey, can y'all go out and use them and take pictures? And I was like, yeah, man, that's cool, whatever. So I went out using it. I sent them to the marketing guy. Bob Bagby, a good friend of mine now.

He's no longer there. He's retired. But he sent me back a reply. I said, hey, these look great. Can you cut the zip ties off of the reel? And I was like, well I thought they were there to like help hold the reel on too like little added protection he said no those are for thieves so like in my mind I've never even thought about cutting a reel off of a rod and reel combo so I always I was like man it's really cool they put zip ties on here make sure it don't slip out like sure it don't fall off your hand yeah like I never even like the thought that that was theft protection from the factory never crossed my mind that's what's wild I mean that's where different people are in life and like It just, I never had any idea.

Of course, so then I had to go and retake the pictures after I cut the zip ties off. But, yeah, I had no idea that that's what the zip ties were there for. Yeah, you need heavy, apparently you need chains. Just chain it all up. Nah, not really. What that guy doesn't know is like if he would have just, like, if he's going to buy them for cash, if he'd have went up there and ask your dad for, hey, man, I need 70 bucks. Big Dave been like, sweep the parking lot.

$0.70. Right now. Maybe. But I'm saying, like, he didn't have to go to that resort to get whatever he got from selling a stolen reel. Like, that's the problem. Like, he needs to come meet Big Day Friday night at CR. Like, let's call it what it is.

Another one is Duck Commander. Some guy, I'm a fit to go home with some guy. And he said, hey, before you come up to the place tomorrow, you know, run by a academy or somewhere and buy me a duck, commander duck off. Oh, yeah. So I did. Yeah.

Careful. And when I got up and handed it to him, he broke it out of the package and wouldn't blow. They had stole the reeds. Which, by the way, if you, like, send a deal to us, we generally send. Yeah, give them back to you free.

Well, we'll send you more reeds for the price of a stamp for the most part. Whatever it cost, literally cost us to get it to you is what we charge. We don't make a penny off of reeds. The next time I bought a duck call, it took me 40 minutes to get it out of the package. Oh, yeah. Because they had staple this thing.

And the problem with duck calls, though, that's the problem we run into. All the way around. Oh, we have to now, but the problem you run into is people like to tut on it one time to make sure it sounds like they think it's going to sound like before they take it home. So it's like,

it's a weird deal, but we get them back from Academy, from Bass Pro, from TP, for you, max, name it that come back and they're either missing a wedge a read like and then they just return it and say it's defective. I'm like you cheap rascals all you did was took a 20 cent read out of the thing like we would have sent you though. All you have to do is take the time to email or call our customer service. I'm out of read and we are going to send them to you for the price of what it

costs to get there. We don't charge you nothing for the material like nothing. Speaking of customer service, have you had the phone call about the Mallard Drake not making a quack? Oh, yeah, phone calls, emails, it doesn't sound like a Mallard Drake, and people obviously, very clearly don't know what a Mallor Drake sounds like. I could not believe it. Yeah. I've had, I'd say 15 different occasions, phone calls over the years.

We got one back the other day, a teal call, said this doesn't sound like a teal. I popped it out of there. I thought, it sounds like a blue wing hand to me. I don't. Apparently we have a misunderstanding of what a blue wing teal sounds like. I wasn't the best at customer service anyway, so. No.

Well, it's hard whenever they try to blame something on you when it's very clearly not your fault. Well, right. And the customer's always right. It's a precise case. The best one was his guy. The guy called Phil. Phil answered the phone. Hello.

Yeah. Hey, you ought to be ashamed of yourself charging $20 for this Milo Drake call. Yeah. And Phil says, hey, whoa, whoa. Did you read the directions? He said, hey, I've been, you know, duck on for 40 years. I don't need to read the direction.

He said, well, hey, go ahead and blow it for me then. Well, of course, he blew a tent and whistled. He said, see, it's just a whistle. And Phil said, hey, you still got the package that come in? He said, yeah. He said, well, hey, idiot, read the direction. He said, then call me back and you hung up on it. Well, he called back and said, hey, no, no, no, hey, read direction.

This conversation ain't over. Phil said, hey, you're an idiot. I can't help you. You're too stupid. If you won't read the directions. We have somebody else in charge of customer service here at Doc. Hey, to make it work, you've got a hum, a base note. And Phil did it to him.

He said, what's that sound? He said, evidently, you do not know what a milder drake does. He said, that was a milder drake. Yeah, a mile or drake don't go mack, man, man. Yeah, he don't go pank, bang, back, he goes. Are we going to take any breaks, or are we just going to go right through this? Well, I figure we just keep on rolling and let Hunter figure out where to put them in. Hunter, throw a break in there somewhere.

And now let's take another. Let's take a break. Martin earlier, we did a commercial for hair loss. That got me to remember what happened when Burley was here last week. I told you all he said he wanted to come train. Oh, he's been taking jujitsu. Right. So after the podcast, he came up to our school.

He had his beard tied up in a little bun. That's wisdom. Yeah. So here's how it went down. Of course, Burrell hadn't been training that long. And new people are notorious for being dangerous because they don't have any skills. Therefore, they use their strength in agility. And Burrell has much strength.

And a lot of agility for a 62-year-old man. You got the strength. So me and him being acquaintances and friends and whatnot started out together. Five-minute round, okay, square it off. well this man reaches down and grabs me by my collar stands up picks me up off the ground

this has never happened before now there's guys in there I'll just say this does not sound good no now I don't want to kill the momentum of the story but are there cameras at your gym no bad gum it no but I wish I would have been smart enough

to have somebody film around Oh, okay. So anyways, I wanted to know if there was a chance I could watch this. Oh, my God, I wish. So feet are floating. So I immediately took my chin because I'm thinking this dude is fixing to slam me pile driver style. You know, Scott Steiner, the Steiner recliner out on, you know. Undertaker.

Yeah, no. What was the undertaker's the tombstone? Tombstone. That was running through my mind. Yeah. Because he had me up eye level. He was standing on his feet grabbing my collar. And a lot of thoughts running through my mind, but I took my chin.

And I'm glad I did because three seconds later, he slammed me into the wall. The wall? The wall. Now, granted, our wall is padded. Okay. So he's, he didn't get into three points. Tass. He was standing up.

He just took off. and slam me into the wall and drove his shoulder in my forehead at the same time. He actually tripped and failed, didn't he? Well, it turns out he lost his balance. I was not aware of this. Yeah, yeah. I was thinking he's trying to kill me. Yeah, he's literally, I mean, I've had people go crazy on me before, but not to this level.

And not from a man with the... Known as Burley. From Burley. strength. I mean, he's very agile for his age, by the way. Well, and a guy that you also consider a friend. Well, right. Right.

But there's been some, there's been a little friction over the years, especially when he killed the breeder bug. And I, you know, I'm not very tactful with the way I, uh, come across sometimes. No. But. Again, why you're not in our classroom or seven. So there. Did it daze you?

Huh? Did it daze me? It almost. It slammed into a wall. It almost. With a. With a 200-pound man pushing. Yeah, if you remember how big burly is.

Oh, yeah. I wish Anna would have took a picture of that knot on my head. It's still going away now. I'm shocked it's gone now, but it was pretty. It's gone. It's a diagonal raspberry across the front of his head. He come in here the next day. He said, boy, do I have a story for you?

Yeah. And I said, save it for the podcast. So the way the whole thing started, I started out on the bottom. he got top side control. I swept him, pull guard, he stands up, boom, into the wall, shoulder in the forehead. I immediately scrambled to his back and choke him as hard as I've ever choked a man in my life. I think that because you got three more minutes left than the round, right? Well, yeah.

I ain't got there yet. I've already told you the story. So I choked him. He tapped, tap, tap, tap. So he tapped. And I looked up at the clock and there was three minutes left. I said, all right, Burrow, we got three minutes. he said, uh-uh.

I'm done. I said, what? He did he already re-gangered. Because I was still upset that he slammed me into the wall. I wanted, he was, he was gassed out. He was gassed out, so I was fixing to get mine. It wasn't revenge. Slamming into the wall is probably against the rules, huh?

Upon further review, he lost his balance and did not do it on purpose. And he's just so big. And he's so big that he just. That's what I'd have said when I got. got choked out too. I asked him, I said, I've watched y'all and watched a lot of wrestling. I said, I was surprised that more people

don't do that. You're not supposed to. There ain't many people strong enough to pick up another man just straight up a sack of a table. Hey, I've watched bigger guys fight little ones. That don't matter. And I say, well, why don't he just do he's on top of it? Why don't he just stand up with him and then just crowns like.

I'm a big guy, but I can't even pick up my nine-year-old. We wasn't fighting for money. We wasn't fighting for money. This is just training. I'm just saying. Well, regardless of that. The one I was walking or fighting for money. Okay.

Regardless of that, picking up a man is hard. Oh. I don't care how strong you are. He picked me up like I was a bag of deer corn. And what do you weigh now? 170. That's what I said. 170 pounds of just dead weight.

Probably fighting against you. That's hard. Yeah, I was hanging all my weight on him. Yeah, Stone ain't helping. And you ain't like, here,

let me climb up to you. No, no, that's not, I'm going to lay back. Burley's not only dead. You're not just, you're not just saying

170 pounds of just dead weight. Yeah. That's a hundred and 70 pounds of very well muscled up. Yeah, and look, for man, I think he's,

what, 601, 62? Something like that. For his age, and everybody in there bragged on him. He's only been training, I think, that's why i tell when you meet a guy like burly yeah you know you're friends for life oh yeah he's

extremely agile the same way just a brute of a man he's extremely agile for his age and size and extremely strong obviously but uh but the reason uh brought the hair lost stuff up because me and sage get there a little early and i'll vacuum the mats she looked at the mat and she said somebody had a cat in here a white cat and I got to look and there were white beard hairs. Oh, Burrell. There had to be a thousand. On the wall?

No, on the mat. On the floor. And on the phone floor. His beard hares had been ripped out. That's from all you boys choking him. Yeah. Getting up under there, getting them short hairs. Boy, that's one wasn't hurt.

But barely left his mark in there. That's for sure. They made linebackers different in the 80s. Oh, yeah. That's what men were men. Oh, he's a man. Oh, I ain't no doubt about that. I got him, but I had to pay the iron price.

Staud did. He came in here, that purple bar across the center, his forehead. I was like, no, just wait. I don't even want to know, man. Oh, man. He said, no, no, you're mad. I ain't going to go with the other three minutes. No, he just didn't have no gas.

Yeah, he's out. Well, PBS. I've been watching PBS. There we go. Transfer. I love it. They finally come up, and look, it's wild Scandinavia. Yeah.

Okay. The Scandinavian people are adventurous. And was Dane Jennings one of them? Well, it showed the wildlife. No, no, it showed a little wildlife in it. They've got 700 wild wolves, which wolves are on the endangered species. There, yeah. Because I guess what, Alaska probably got them, maybe Canada.

Montana. Yeah, there's a big. Some places they've still got a few up. There's a big battle against man against wolf right now. Yeah. But anyway. Careful where you stand on this. Then they go, and I was talking about the people of Scandinavia,

they like to ice skate, but they like to do it. It's very adventurous, okay? They do it on frozen rivers, frozen lakes, frozen pond, and it's actually a very dangerous sport because they don't do it, you know, by yourself because you love to die. You do it in groups of two or more. That's good. That way you all die.

No, no. Well, I'm just saying it shows these people, okay. You didn't know ice skating was dangerous? Well, I'm talking about, you know, Ask Nancy Kennedy. On the arena, it ain't bad because it's frozen in like four inches thick. You do it on a river or a lake. Okay, and you do it for hundreds of miles.

Because look, it shows these clowns and they're skating, you know, this lake's probably 200-mile shoreline. Was there anybody waiting in the woods with a time? Well, hey, who knows? But I'm just, hey, look, at one place, and look, the sound effects on this was great because every time they're lifting their skates up and going one way and the other way, you're hearing cracking ice. Uh-uh. Yeah.

Well, that's like all them boys at ice fish. That's them boys at ice fish and a bunch of ice. Well, no, no, because it shows these guys going by. There's a log laying out there, and it's water around the log. and ice on each side of it, and they're not skating very far from the lock. And I'm going, these people are nuts. Y'all got now. Why do you think all them people in the National Hockey League's last name got like three vowels in it,

and they're that long? That's where they all come from. Well, that, and they all missing teeth. Yeah, they're tough, man. Okay, from getting pucked in the teeth and whatever the stick is they use. And probably from growing up at eight years old hitting that log you just talked about. I mean, I, I, I said the magic word,

they are adventurous race. Yeah, I guarantee you. Hockey players. I wouldn't be skating on an old lake out in the middle of it, okay. Meaning? But now what, I have to give them. They had a lot of equipment. Okay, and when they're skating, they've got a pole.

Okay, just in case they fall breakthrough, you know, a pole is about six, eight foot long, so, hey, it would keep them. from going under and kill me off. See, that's what I think. But I'm just saying, it's adventure. There it is. That's when I just.

That's down. That's what I think I'd just find something different to do. So where do the wolves come in? That was just an interesting clip. I understand. And they like to do it because they, the fresh ice is the best. It's just turned one of time. I like that picture of that puffing or whatever they have.

They got a big sharp stick on the end of it. See how thick it is. And here they go. But this ain't for just like around the arena. This is, they're skating 40 miles. Out in the middle of a river on the lake.

So they, they use ice skates like people here use bicycles. Yeah. They just take out. Our boat. Our boat was motors. Yeah. Well, that's why I said,

like I said, I heard some form of exercise. The sound effects was awful, awesome. Yeah. Because every time they'd pick it up and lay it down it was the ice is cracking on them and then a few times okay

it shows they're doing it and it's about that much water on top of the ice oh I bet that gets so they're making a splash and did you ever see a Zamboni no no I didn't know if they smoothed their ice but I'm just saying they're adventurous you heard it here first people

well when you live in I will say this it's kind of like up north here when you live in places that are frozen in about six to eight months after the year, you've got to find something to do. That's true. Did I tell you about when we went ice fishing? I'm about staying in a warm house and just relax. Well, all those people live in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.

I mean, there's some of us that have figured it out. Get away from air. Our buddy Tim up there, he's into that sitting in the hutch ice fishing, like grumpy old men style. Oh, don't you know. But if you get three bites, that's a good day. That's a good day. You got three bites and six beers. That's it.

It ain't about fishing. Those boys, they get out nothing. You've been away from your wife. Drink beer and get away from the woman. That's what they're doing. They're not catching nothing. Yeah, see, mine don't bother me that bad. I just sit right there.

Every once in a while, when a big one come by and you catch one of the big ones, it's a hoot. Oh, that's right. So I was there, too. Yeah. I would love to see that's eye ice fish. He did catch a big while I when we were up there. The camera work was good. They had a camera that was on the bottom.

and that was why you'd see that went by and he'd look like a giant, then when I would set the hook on him and think I got a big one. About that long. A big Shiner. Shiner. I said, boys, we use this for paint.

I'd hope so. TM is one of the higher ups at Hummingbird and Mankota. Y'all should have had no shortage of equipment. Yeah, we have... Well, I loved it. We had plenty of fish finders. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. How fast did someone who ice skates. I fast can't skate.

Are we talking Apollo Anton Ono Or what are we talking? Well, I'm just telling me It's speed skating How fast do they go on skates? Fast enough where it hurts when they hit. That one guy went 500 meters in 41 seconds

There we go, miles per hour That's eight meters a second Long track speed skaters can typically hit over 35 But that's Olympians probably 35 miles per hour On skates Oh, if you better not fall Yeah

And you want something No, I'm out See another reason We should be nominated for a award If you're going 35 miles per hour And skates, don't fall We're full of good advice And you better be comfortable with Jesus if you do

That's right You better have a good relationship Yep Because first you're going to freeze And if you're not If you're not got a good relationship It's going to go the opposite Yeah

Real quick You're going to be real cold And then you're going to get real hot It's going to be a very confusing time for you That just You know Oh boy How fast does the snow skiers go?

Look it out. Jeremy Bloom? How do I know so many Winter Olympians' names? Because you are still obsessed with a USA chant, and that'd probably be your best chance to get one. There's a lot of adventurous people on this earth. Yeah, they're all in the Winter Olympics. Much of nuts.

A bunch of nut cases. There are every one of them. How fast do skiers go? The fastest downhill... No. 162 One thing nobody has ever Now normally they're going about 80

And can travel up to a Honda Miles per hour MPH For our friends over in Britain That's fair You gotta do some math there We're not into kilometers That's the difference between the open and a closed casket

Oh that's I was looking at kilometers per hour That's it The fastest person ever on skis went 255 kilometers per hour, which would be 158. I've never even been that fast in a car. I don't really like going in planes, but that's the only time I'm going that fast. You talk about insane.

I've been that fast in a car, and I didn't like it either, and I had a professional driver doing it. Don't care. I don't like riding in the boat without him. Yeah, and he was looking at us while he was doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a true statement. He was, he never once looked at the track.

Warrior. Yeah. Well, he ain't even looking. He's talking to me and I said, boy, you get your eyes on the road. Which track was it? Dallas. Texas Motorspe. Yeah.

That's a pretty one. That's a pretty one easy one to memorize it. I rode with him a couple of them. So I rode with him at Talladega. He turned left. He was running 140 in Dallas. Yeah, I rode with him at Talladega. He was saying, well, I better slow down because he fixed to blow the top of the lights off the car.

Yeah. He said the race people don't like it when I do that because they got a creaned. up before they can do the show. That's true story. People that like to go that fast are weird. I've just never been an adrenaline junkie. I don't know. I'd prefer not to...

That's insane. I mean, I guess my adrenaline comes from something... A fish biting my cricket or my court going under or a duck coming in the hole. But like going real fast and surviving, not your boys' thing. If it ends with and surviving, I'm out. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, I went on that rafting trip. with Brittany and Wheeler and them,

and I scared death the whole time. I said that's the difference of the open and closed cab. It is. Yeah, I just, I'm not an adrenaline guy. It's what the race driver told me when he was going 140. Because I asked him, I said, what would have happened if the front tire had blow out?

He said, that's the difference between open and closed cash. And I said, hey, that wasn't quite the answer that I wanted. It didn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. And my favorite part is he said, oh, don't worry, we're not the crazy one. He said the crazy ones are the ones that drive him drag racing cars. He said, they're sitting on top of a controlled explosion. Yeah, yeah.

Nope. Because they're using nitro. They don't have gas. Yeah, he said one spark goes wrong. They use a natural glycerin. He said, one spark goes wrong in that deal, and you ain't nothing but a black. When the doctor tells me I'm on my way out, I said, go ahead and fill it up, baby, because I'm fixed to break the world record.

For speed? And then head me down the track. I'm going to be Bon Jovi. I'm going to go out and a blaze. That's a glory, buddy. So you're saying you prefer closed casket at your feet? I don't kill one way or another. He said, I ain't going to need it.

As long as I break, with 361 and a half mile. He said, I don't need it. That's what size said. 366. Why are we going that fast? Must be the world record. That's the record. That's the record.

361 on a half mile. On one of big drag wrestlers. Put the balloon tires and the bicycle up front. my favorite part is he knows it that's the coolest part of that whole deal that's because he's serious and they actually hey they actually pull five to seven Gs well they're doing it let's pull our way into our last break we'll be back right after this right before we get to the email inbox we got the regular old inbox the 117 Kings Lane we got sparrows in a hurricane in the 71292 uh Ryan

and Riley. We got invited to a whole bunch of weddings. So I'm just going to give them all a shout-out. Two spares and a hurricane. I don't know what they're saying. Ryan and Riley said they listen to the podcast from the beginning. They're getting married to North Carolina in June. May you live and love each other for a hundred years?

Is it tacky if we send all of them a bottle of W sauce? A little bit. Oh. Okay. But we can. I mean, it's a gift that keeps on giving. I guarantee you. Bradley and Kimberly are getting married in August in Ohio.

We didn't say this or did we? Oh, and then Ethan and Nicole are getting married in August in Virginia Beach. There you go. We're getting invited all overplaces. There's in a hurricane, boys. I got one more. He's love everywhere. That's graduation.

Oh, Gracie's graduating. Congratulations. From Ocean Springs High School. Love y'all all, and hey, wish you the best. And we did this last week, like a small business. We did a small business highlight with our man with a kettle corn. I got another one. Skipper seats.

They are a small family-owned business. It's actually a cool deal. I thought that Brittany was kind of an anomaly because she always takes a towel when we go fishing to put on the boat seat. Yeah, you don't want to get wet. Well, these are towels. These are fishing towels. They're four-year boat seats. Hey, you know what?

America. Hey, red white. There you go. You wear those during the Winter Olympics. Skipper seats, another small business. that is a supporter of ours, so we're going to support them. There you go. Anyway, Johnny D., what's in that inbox?

How y'all want to go on it? I don't have a lot of questions, but I got some really cool stories. Okay. Hey, let's hear them. And I think that's just, like, there's so many cool ones. Heaven forbid, we tell cool stories. I mean, that's what we're known for. We definitely need Stone's opinion.

If it's cool enough, we might get nominated. Nicholas, now, this is not going to get us nominated. Although, if Jeff Foxworthy is putting out awards, it might get us nominated. Nicholas, he's 22. He's from West Monroe, Louisiana, which makes a lot of sense. His best friend was cooking ribs over at the house. My man made his own smoker.

Can you guess the two things he used to make a smoker? Oh, man. How much time do I? This is good. And he's from Westman, right? He's from Westman. Are these, like, bizarre things? Bank, Reddick.

So it's not a trash can. Filing cabinet. No. Better than a file. I don't like that. I don't like a file. What do two things a redneck has? In their yard.

Half the house. I told it. Close. A bathtub. Okay. Bath tub's one of them. Ceramic. But, hey, this is a redneck, and he hunts.

So what else is he got to have? A gun safe and a bathtub. That's it. And a bathtub. And there you got the next redneck smoker. And a T-post is holding it all's code. And he's from West Monroe? That's happening right here in our.

great city. Oh, my gosh. Praise, B. Redneck ingenuity, boys. I bet that's good. And I thought we were bad for having a bathtub in our yard growing up, but we had worms in it.

Okay, that's it. That's where we always have fishing bait. He turned the bathtub upside down and just smoking stuff in the old safe. I love it. I love it. And it's close by, so I'm a little curious if he rubbed some W sauce on it and bring it on over. I'd try it.

I'd try Gun Safe Barbecue. You think he's contacted the warranty department about that safe said it's not fireproof? That's good. Okay, that's funny, boys. Probably. Just curious. Okay, and then. Bathtub.

Here's, this one's cool. Kind of had a rough beginning. Caitlin emails in. Her husband's name is Dallas. He's been a fan of ours for a long time. He met Phil and Jace before he had an accident when he turned 21 with 12-gauge shotgun. He's blind now. but that's not really what she wanted to talk about

because even though all that happened this is what she wanted to say about him he lives every day the fullest and thanks God he's still alive he's killed five deer since that's happened oh wow big fan and he has just a great story in all that and it's a very long email that I can't go through the whole thing and she said I know this is a long email

and her husband doesn't know that she's doing this but she wanted this kind of, they're listening right now, and it's going to, just a really cool story about how he didn't let something hold him back from still enjoying the outdoors, even though there was a terrible accident. So Dallas, that's really cool, man, and your wife really loves you. Yeah. And you're an impressive deal.

And Dallas, my hat's off to you because you could have folded up and quit, but you didn't, man. That's cool. Yeah, a lot of people can't get down. And that's not. It's understandable. Yeah, not understandable. But he kept going.

he's killed five deer since that. That's cool. That's awesome. And that happened six years ago when he was 21. That is cool. He's had a couple kids. Dallas, stay after him. That's what I'm talking about.

Hey, man. You got to play the hand you dealt. Yeah, a good deal. And then here's another story. Not a story, but just kind of a prayer request. So me and Martin have shared our stories about the NICU. Size shared his story about the NICU. McKinsey emails in.

and she said, wow, I get the emotions now. Her child's been there for six days, hopefully going home tomorrow. So that's a praise report. We'll be praying for that. But she just wanted to say, thanks for kind of putting our stories out there because it is really tough. But she wanted to ask everybody pray for that staff, pray for people going through that. Because it's something you don't really think about a lot. Amen.

And it is a, I mean, what did you call it, Martin, a satisfactory? place on earth. It ain't a fun place. It is, it is, it's misery in the flesh, man. It is, but it's full of cool stories and it is full of the best people that walk this planet that worked out every day. So my, my hats are off to them. And, yeah, we actually just donated a bunch stuff to the, to our NICU just because we had it left over. And I didn't realize a lot of those kids stay in there longer and run out of the clothes sizes and all that. So some of stuff boys didn't wear and some diapers, like bigger-sized diapers when they have to stay in there a little bit longer that they outgrew. We just took up there and dropped off. But it's a really cool. There's like a whole

clothing line for premature babies now. And it's because of the work that they do because, you know, back in the day, those kids might not have made it. Yeah, we took preemie clothes up there that we had to buy for, for ours and all that comes. Those people are working hard every day up there. And McKenzie just wanted me to give them all a shout out. Absolutely. So that's cool. Yeah. All right, we got time for one more. We're going to have to do it kind of quick. Long as it's quick, yeah. We'll do it quick because I think this is an easy answer.

Daniel emails in. He's wanting to be the spiritual leader of his house. And they're about to buy a new house. He feels like they need to move out of state. His wife said 100%, I'm staying here close to my parents. But he feels like the Lord's telling him that they need to move. So therefore, he's in a conundrum.

So he needs advice. advice and quick advice but Daniel I'll go ahead and go because I've read this before um Jesus didn't serve by telling us all what to do a lot it wasn't a leader by telling us all to do all the time sometimes he just served people he got down and washed some feet which probably wasn't on his like favorite thing to do list and your wife might need help from her family and you say you got a good relationship with them so you might be thinking this but her being adamant about living close to her parents stone does it i do it that's a fight you don't want to fight really no i i would just on that regard i would yield to the wife and see yeah i like

johnny d said wash her feet for crying out loud and that doesn't mean literally get down and wash her feet bro that means figure it out figure out what it is of why she's wanting to stay and why you know i mean it's fine like the the cool thing is we live in a world where moving out of state or staying there doesn't keep you from doing anything you want to do with the gospel. Like, you're connected through the world in two seconds. So, like, you can be a leader in the gospel right there from where you're at right now. So, like, I don't know what the draw is to get out of there. But I would leave you with, one little phrase, let there be no divisions among you between you and your wife.

There's a reason she wants to stay. You might need to explore that. And I'm sure there's tons of details that we don't know about. 100%. Yeah, absolutely. So that's why I just, man. With what we got. Yeah.

That's a tough one. I'm staying. I'm going with that other verse in there of love your wife as Christ loved the church. I love his church. Yeah. That's what I'm going with. So whatever that love needs to be to show, do it. Do it.

That's where I'm sticking. And that is how you are a spiritual leader. Work it out. All right. Ready for a Bible verse? Yeah. Let's go with John 1010 instead of Exodus 2015 because thieves suck. But we got hope.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. But I have come that they may have life and habit to the fullness. No matter what's happening to you, you know, You might have something stolen from you. You've still got Jesus on your side, and, you know, that's way better than anything. Amen. Else you could get. Are you skeers out there?

Be safe. We're coming for you, and so is Facebook. Watch out for the wolves. Oh, he's talking about the skiers, not the thieves. The skiers are the thieves. He said the skiers. Oh, I thought you said the steers. You're hard done to do.

I don't know what's happening.
