And you've also got some little short hairs coming back on your face. I probably can not find. On the left side, not the right. I know. Over here they don't grow. What happened? I don't know. You need to fire lines.

I guess you could say it's probably a shotgun. Your face doesn't grow hair anymore? No, because I quit. Left side it does. Look, he's balding on his face. Yeah. That's the reason I wouldn't go teeth. That's a wild.

Look, that's why. That's why. I'll clean this up, clean this up, and it looks better. but I ain't in the mood to do it right now. It ain't the mood to do it. Put your mic back on your hairless side of your face. It's a good thing that the mic's on the hairless side of your face that way. I know.

That way it doesn't get any interference. Hunter doesn't have to deal with this. Yeah. Sorry, Hunter. I'm serious. That's probably what did it with a shotgun. Yeah. So.

What's your time? What's your tip? I've actually pulled the trigger on, on 20 gays. And it was hooked to a hair. Oh, that hurts. Yeah. And it did. It jerked my head.

We've all done that. Amen. Absolutely. My hairs aren't as strong as yours. They just got pulled out of my face. It didn't jerk my neck around. His got jerked out from the roof. Apparently.

So those hairs that were on the face, they just been there for the last 50 years. And they said, no, I'm out. And then you shaved them off and they're like, we can't grow back. I may be the first person over to get, like, beard extensions. Yeah. They literally, they literally. We could patent something here. They literally want to shade them off.

Somebody's done that. Beard. Oh, you're going to say it. there's some available. You can get the Uncle Si package. There you go. Great for my horse's tail. Or 10% off.

I want to shave. But wait, if you order now. Hey, wait. I shaved one time because I was going to make hackles. Bass bait out of my beard. Really? Yeah, because it was black and white, salt and pepper. Did you catch any?

No, I didn't make it. Yeah. Oh, you didn't make it. I tried it, and it didn't look it. It didn't look like you thought it was. I didn't think it would work. So I went back to the wood duck top notch. I would have tried that just to say.

The wooded up top notch is a fine bait. There are some people putting extensions in their beard. For real? Yeah. Witches. Why? I don't know. It's wild, man.

Well, women do it all the time. Nope. Not on their beard. Not on their beard. Well, some of them doing Arkansas. Shots! Fired! Pig Suey!

You know, Arkansas is close enough to us where we could really get in a bind. I don't know. I don't know. I spend a lot of time up there. The women know that I love them. Yeah, they wouldn't be able to find us anyway. Arkansas, unless they're from El Dorado. I'm telling you.

I'll go in on Arkansas this hole for an hour. You're some haters. This is the unfiltered podcast. Y'all just straight full of hate. I know. Unbelievable. Me and God would spend way too much time in that fine state for y'all to be trashing them like that.

Hey, I ain't trashing nobody. I got a deer camp up there. Yeah. He said, Hey, there's also ducks in Arkansas A bunch of them That's why I said

Take their name out of your mouth I got their friends at Arkansas Yeah I'm trying to decide Which one's the worst Arkansas or Mississippi Oh, good grief But Mississippi got the ocean

So I think I'm going with Arkansas Alabama's got the ocean We got the ocean too Alabama's weird too The whole south's weird You do realize like that is 90% of the people I'm just saying who all I can offend.

Oh. Besides the Canadian. You might as well head over there to the Carolinas too then. No, those are good. Oh, now we're getting in really God's country now when he gets to Carolines. He loves them. Oh, no, I love North and South Carolina. I know.

That's the hard of mass car. Oh, well, not only that. That's God's coming. Boy, you just got. So what are we? Why? We're an armpit. Virginia.

Where the place where God took a dump? No. You need whole body dieter into it does. If that's the heart, we're God's manned up. When you walk outside and it feels like you just worked out for 20 hours and your underwear is sticking to you and all you did was go the grocery store. That's why you pull a goblin and don't wear underwear. That's right.

See? It stick to you. I mean. All right. Guy was my told him always be free. That is true. I thought he's going to say always be free. He don't wear shoes or underwear.

He's free falling. He's got like Tompatch. He's got shorts that have, he can make them into shorts whenever you get. He's got pants that he can make into shorts. Yeah, but I don't know where the extensions are. Well, there you go. So those are just regulation shorts. He's got short extensions.

So I want beard extensions. There you go. I don't even think, I don't like three pairs of way to go all time. I totally agree. I start wearing long-legged bridges about November. See, that's why I hate Arkansas because I went to that. school in Arkansas, and they made you wear pants to class. And I was like, I just don't belong here.

Well, don't, don't hate Arkansas. You're right, son. Hold on. They made you wear pants? They made me wear pants to class. Oh, I wouldn't, I wouldn't have put up with that. I didn't. Got into a lot of trouble.

I was like, I had to, like, go to volleyball class, and then they were like, all, head on over to Bible class and English class, all sweaty in some pants. And britches. Yeah. You had to do P.E. in college? Yeah, you could wear shorts in P.E. You know your freshman year. I didn't have to do P.E.

You must not done good in them other classes. Yeah, what was you doing? Oh, you was on that election bag of taking, like, volleyball. I was taking. I took volleyball and pickleball. I took a CBR. Oh, y'all talked about electives now. That's all I took.

But he didn't even go. No, I didn't even go. Did you pass any class? Yeah, he passed them all. Yeah, I made A's. And then he went to Vietnam. And in partying and in women. I hate women.

I made straight a eight. But did you take like, like basket weaving, did you? Oh, I was hung up with women and partying. Okay. Didn't even go to basketball. I didn't even get that far. What a day. Anyway.

Yeah, I don't know where we're going today, but here we are. Shorts are important. That's it. That's all I got. And every state is weird. Oh, boy. other states. Well, hey, we just

watched, I tell you about weird earth. Oh, boy. Did you watch the... Hey, hey, look, if you got weird earth, the states you've got to be weird. Can I bring up something kind of weird? What shirt are you wearing, Martin? Flash? Yeah, you like the Flash?

Hey, he's wearing Flash shirt. Here comes on. Hunter, you ain't been around here. What is that? Boy, he's got the Flash. I've had this shirt for forever, man. What's that? Oh, yeah.

No, I mean, I don't really like the Flash. I guess I do. What? I like Big Bad. bang theory. Oh. Like when it was, when it was going on

back in the day. So I bought this because, you know, I enjoyed watching Big Bang Theory and actually Brittany bought this for me.

This was a gift. Now, do we need to talk about what you're wearing, Hunter? Your Hawaiian shirt. Yeah. That's okay.

With your very, you know, snug-fitting jeans and shoes that were made in the 1900s. My favorite thing about Hunter is, I wore them to get him

to get him in your high school. Yeah. You need to get what? We didn't get a Hunter with Lewis Moore. Who's that? Is it Luis? Luis.

Yeah. He said your shoes are dirty, is what he's saying. Wash them things. And your pants are too long. That's what he's getting me. That's what he's getting. He does have buttons on a shirt. But do you, I mean, so you approve of my shirt, Hunter?

Is that what you're really getting at? Oh, yeah. I love the flash. That's cool. Yeah. Anything with a comic book, that's when Hunter's going to chime in. But I didn't expect you to say it was because you like the Big Bang Theory. You don't like Big Bang Theory?

I love the Big Bang Theory. Oh. Okay. Yeah. No, they're nerdy enough to work with me. He don't pay attention to what they're wearing. Well, I don't want to say Martin looks like Sheldon Cooper. I don't. I mean, maybe in high. It's not a car. That's about where our similarities in. I'm also married.

Well, see, I got a problem with the big bank there. Why? Because I don't want to know what went back. Thank you. Well, all of our scientists have already agreed at one time there was nothing. Well, Sheldon can tell you. Yeah. No, he couldn't.

who can tell me Sheld The Big Bang Theory though just so we're clear as a TV show He ain't never saw They're sitting in actual We're not actually talking about the theory

Oh We're not talking about that No We're talking about a show That was on CBS There was a five minute stretch At time where you said No I'm just a big fan of the Big Bang theory

And Sa was over here going What has happened to Martin? Yeah he's like Wait he's off creation That quick huh He's off that bag Yeah This podcast took a weird turn

No no no no no no no No Still very much on creation. I just like the show, the Big Bang Theory. It was average at best. I said it. That's fine. To each his own.

Yes, absolutely. I need to sit down and let's watch it and watch his reaction. He'd get more excitement over the Weather Channel. Probably so. Weird Earth. The Weather Channel. Oh, wait a absolutely. The Big Bang TV show, what does it show?

It's about a bunch of physicists in California. Yeah. Sounds, yep, that's it. I mean like an engineer and a good looking neighbor, right? I mean, it's your typical sitcom, right? It's like if you took Duck Dynasty and made it not as good. And exactly the opposite. Yeah.

It's almost like you took Duck Dynasty and the people actually knew how to act. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Huh. That tells me a lot. It's the reason they went on and we. Hold on.

Hold on, sir. I need to do this. some fact check-in with that, which... And also, they made substantially more cash than we did. Probably did. That's a bath. That's true. Oh, they were on for 12 years. They made more cash than we did. That's bad. They, uh, we probably had more spinoffs. Remember going Cyroll?

Nope. You don't remember going Cyril? I mean, yes, I was on a couple of them, but... I was on one. They were just scrapping the bottom of the barrel at that point. They were like, nobody... We need four people to come talk to Sae about internet videos. Yeah, the clips they should. showed on going, Syral weren't even viral. Yeah.

That's the problem. It was like we found, I don't know. That's weird. It was weird. That was a weird show, Cy. Was that your idea? Yeah. No.

No. None of this stuff was my idea. None of this. I just showed up. He just tagged alone. All it just showed up was meat. 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, ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sall 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 ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails Beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, 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. On that spirit, what's the greatest idea you've ever had in your life, so your opinion. Well, no idea what JD and I can't even remember what it was when I was younger, teenager. I had come up with something I thought that if I could actually manufacture, I'd be a millionaire. What was it?

I can't remember what it was. I came up with Internet groceries. Internet groceries. Boy, you lost. Yeah, in the fourth grade. I told my papa, I said, I got an idea. It's a website. You order groceries, they bring it to your house.

He's like, brilliant. And then Jeff Bezos stole it from me. They were listening back then. I don't know how. He started with books. Yeah, I never got started. had a website or something. Yeah.

You had the means to do it. I bet your grandpa would have invested in you. I don't know. Probably not in fourth grade, though. It was a... And then I had an idea for a straw for milkshakes that had a fan in it. A straw with a fan in it?

Yeah, you know, you ever tried drinking milkshake and it's just stuck? And you're sitting there going... That's because the strawberry got in there. Yeah. But if you got a straw with a fan in it, it would just shoot it into your mouth. like a

no, not a note. When I'm just the milkshakes, I'm more of a shoveler. I'm more of a take the lid off and get a spoon kind of a guy. In the deal, and the,

you just press the button on the straw? Oh. No, you don't press the button. That one wasn't a great idea. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Yes, which is, it was a straw.

There's a reason Jeff Bezos didn't do that one. Yeah, that's a good point. A straw? Why not just get a spoon? I'm confused. No, hey, when it hangs up, I just... See, but then they made that McFlurries. But then there's a straw.

Eat the strawberry off the other than. They made the straw in two a spoon. And that, you know, that solved all the problems. So that is not near as cool. A straw spoon is not near as cool. It's a spork, though. Yeah. You can stab what you could stab.

Then you can stab the strawberry. I mean, the spork is like the greatest invention of food service. The only people that use a lot of sporks, eat at a very certain Mexican establishment a lot. Taco Bell. Oh, I thought, see, I thought you were going with Popeyes. That's the one that I remember. Popeyes gives you a sport?

I don't know if they do now, but that's what they used to give you because you didn't know if you were getting rice or mashed potatoes and garlic. Oh, I've never eaten anything at Popeye's that wasn't handheld. Whoever thought up that spark was easing their head for something besides a hat rack. That's true. It's a great utensil that's very underutilized. It's not available at enough place.

I've never used the utensil at a Popeye's in my life. No, I just see hands in your shorts. Shorts are your napkin. And the mashed potatoes, you can throw back anyway. They drink the mashed potatoes, he said. Or if you're like my kids, and they just, they look at their spoon and they sit it down and they just, I don't know what they have against the utensil. Or you ain't trained about it? Well, I mean, how are you going to train them if they won't use it?

No, no, it's too slow. It is for Jackson, absolutely. It's too slow. For Big Daddy, yeah, it is too slow. He needs a... I remember when my kids was that way. He needs a shovel. Price of you used to...

Spaghetti and spaghetti sauce was their favorite. And have it everywhere. Oh, no, yeah. Mm-hmm. You just took her outside and turned the holes on. Yeah. Especially one that had one, you could bring it down, make it really... Give it a little pressure.

Yeah, power. Yeah. Power wash them. I'm still pretty messy when I eat spaghetti. That's a hard one to get to take. Honestly, I worked here with you for a number of years, and there were very few lunches. You came back without something on your shirts. It didn't matter if it was spaghetti or subway.

You had something on your shirt. Today, look, today, all I ate was a piece of sausage for lunch. Where's it at? You got some of it somewhere. I took a bite, and it just squirted everywhere on my shirt. And I was like, well, that's that outfit for the day. What kind of sausage? It was just a sausage hot dog at the gas station, but I threw away the bread, so that's healthy.

cutting carbs baby you didn't throw away the bread 100% oh yeah yeah it was it was one of them that's wrapped up in tinful and it's been sitting there all day and the bread's the best part but i threw that bread away had me a protein shake and a piece of sausage without the bread and a hot leg essentially there's good

that's living right there our Canadian friends and house with us are like y'all eat sausage from gas station we eat everything from gas station we do have wait till you we show you the one with fried chicken So good. Some of them really cook good. Yeah. Oh, gas stations are best restaurants in town.

Even some of them got some chicken livers if y'all are feeling adventurous. Nope. Not feeling adventurous. I don't know if Oregon meets a big thing up in Canada or not, Beth. Can you? Oh, oh, oh, oh, Canadian friends. I feel like we need to get a closer chair. Yeah, so.

They make straws out of paper. Yeah, but Beth's whole family. here everyone she's ever known. Just kidding. Beth, is this your brother, Beth? Beth's brother and his family are here. Half the town of Winnipeg's in our studio. All of Manitoba showed up. Yeah. See, I don't mess with me in my opinion. Why do they make straws out of paper? Because of the sea turtles. Don't they get stuck? Wait a minute. What does this sea turtles got to do with what paper straws? Because the sea turtles are more important than my comfort. There ain't no sea turtles around here. Well, there's definitely not any in Manitoba. I don't think so.

So, you know, anyway, our Canadian friends are very excited because if you want plastic straws around here, they sell them by the hundred count. What if we made paper down? Yeah, they don't melt. I mean, we're pretty shocked. I brought my own straws to Disney World and littered them everywhere. Just, no, I didn't do that. I did bring one, though, because them paper straws aren't real. No, they ain't real.

No, they disintegrate. Uh-uh. And it's all over sea turtles. And I, look, you can't eat them. Why not? I mean, I'm made out of meat. Look, what's a sea turtle doing for me? How does a sea turtle...

How does a sea turtle... Put a couple of them in a zoo and like, let's get back... A straw for anyway. Thank you. Let's get back to good straws. Well, I guess you're saying the reason of the paper straw coming in existence is that the plastic straws were killing the sea turtle. That's it.

That's the only reason I've ever been. given. How are they killing them? Wait, what? They, yeah, the one got one in the nose and so they had to change everything about it. I got, I got,

I got, I got, I got, that was a drug, I got a suggestion. He's just trying to have a party. Yeah, he was trying to have a part.

Let's make the straws a little bit bigger so they won't fit in their nose. Yeah. You ever heard of Bova? That solves it up, boys. You ever heard of Bova, Godwin? Misunderstood you? Boba. Can you use that phrase in a sentence?

Yeah, have you ever had Bova before? Like Bobba Fett? No. I don't know what he's telling me. It's like this tea or milk tea with these tapioca pearls at the bottom of it. But they're known for the pearls. Tapioca pearls. We're not.

What's like that day with a straw? There's straws to drink it with are huge. Pearls ain't made out of tapiochi. Well, I've seen them big straws and them. some of their ice cream deals that they want you to suck it on. Yeah. It's big like number two

hot water pipe. They big. Yeah, that's what these are. Well, won't they just use that? Thank you. Or blame the turtle and let me just keep using the straw I want to use. I don't care about turtles. I'm a bad person. Sue me.

Let's take a break. I give up. Wait, well, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, pop, okay, roll it back. What did they say? Y'all don't have no forks. Y'all've got paper forks. There wouldn't.

There means. Bamboo. And you cannot pick up. Nothing with them. You can't make, you know, can't. Paper fork? I mean, bamboo, bamboo forks. My kids' clothes are made out of bamboo.

How are we making it? When did bamboo become a thing? Like, we've just been using it for a duck blind brush. Yeah. And now all of a sudden. It's good for everything. It's good for everything. I don't get.

It. I mean, how does... Well, they're trying to use more of God's creation. But I mean, like, bamboo used to just be used for blind brush and fishing pole. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. And now you see it everywhere. It's clothes.

I'm sorry. Bamboo forks is where I draw the line. I'm never going back to Canada. So are your knives bamboo, too? They got bamboo knives. That's just for... Oh, bamboo. I thought you were stub as it was.

That's just in them fast food places. Like the store, convenience stores? Oh, I know why. We're learning so much about Canada. Oh, no, no. I know why. The people can't hear. The most important question, your McFlurry spoon straws.

Are you all, y'all don't even have those? Oh, goodness gracious. I know why they want bamboo. There's no much of it on the earth. There's no need for a McFlurry spoon straw because the ice cream machine never works. Yeah. So, like, I mean. Great point.

There's, yeah. I bet you the McFlurry machine works in Canada. They're very friendly in Canada Hey bamboo will probably last forever too You know it does last forever It certainly does My water bottles in a landfill If you don't use it

My kids diapers Thank you You know what I like to do with my kids diapers Put them in a Ziplot bag and zip that sucker up That way in 20 million years Somebody's going to uncover that thing Get hit with that waft right in their face That's terrible

You better watch out best one brought the recycling bin up here. There's a recycling. Look. Careful, pal. So for our listeners. Careful. I saw a recycling bin in the break room. Is that what y'all call that

new place? And I was like, where did that come from? It came all the way from Canada. Is that what you're telling me? Beth brought it? She said it's not from Canada. I bet it says made in China on the bottom of it. And it's plastic. There you go.

Oh, man. Well, until they make another Jurassic Park, I'm using all them fossil fuels for plastics. Thank you. You're welcome. They're not endangered. We killed them all off. I don't know how.

I'm finding bamboo cutlery extremely interesting, puzzling, troubling, all the things. If I lived in Canada, I would have my own straw and fork and knife and spoon everywhere I went. Like a Swiss Army knife. I'm awesome. There you go. I've got a product

I just had my new best idea I'm going to open a store and sell Swiss Army knives in Canada That's what I was man Man remember we had that idea And Scotland I'd get a waffle house over We'd change the culture

Buddy Now Scotland all you got to do You can go to Europe and get rich Real fast with a freezer Ice machine Just get some ice trays And sell them for $8 million They wouldn't use it.

Yeah, they don't want to give you no ice over there. You say that, and then they, that's just because they don't know. The European mind does not know about ice. And if we teach it to them, we'll get rich. We'll sell them ice. I don't think they'll use it. Well, the fine people that the Sheraton housed us for two weeks while we were in Scotland knew all about ice because we were like, no, keep bringing.

I mean, this guy, they're drinking tea, bro. How much ice do you go through a day? Oh, depends on his cup. With this. I fill it up in the morning and it's still there at night. Yeah. Yet he changed his life. Hey, good product.

The ice is expensive, right? Oh, hey, what are you talking about it? It is in Scotland, apparently. Yeah. I don't do it. So is black pepper. It's all expensive. I actually bought me an ice maker.

And a piece of bread. You have an ice maker? Yes, I do. I'm thinking about getting an ice maker, one of them under the cabinet ice makers. That just seems magic. My mind's on top of the cabinet. Oh, you got that kind. Yeah.

Yeah. That seems magical. Yeah. That way he don't have near as big of a mess to clean up. He ain't got a bad. They do go out. That's the problem. One thing about ice machines, they are going to go out.

Well, everything goes out. Yeah. That we make. The problem is that one's going to water. I'm about to buy an ice machine while we're doing this. I just decided. Matter of fact, I just had to replace my refrigerator. Yeah.

That's the worst. Yeah. You got to throw away all your condiments. It made me sad. When your fridge goes out. Well, the one I got is smaller than the one I have. Rejured. Yeah.

That's going to make it look for it. Yeah. We put it in there. It's that much lower than it was a combo, freezer and refrigerator. So they was up and it's like this. So now Sweet Pea got a new perch. Sit on top of the fridge.

Oh, no. He found somewhere to hide now. Can't find it. And we can't find it. He gone. Yeah. He was been missing for two days. We don't worry that.

We said, well, I guess we've played poker the other night. Somebody must have left the door open when he's coming in and out, and hey, he's gone. So, hey, we look for him for two days. And, you know, we're sitting in there watching TV, and here he comes. And I said, oh, he didn't, he ain't ever been outside. I said, he's found a new place to hide. Yep, there you go. Oh, so he's confirmed.

You do have him. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. I thought we were about to have to do a missing person. Well, no, no, no, because look, I was sitting there watching TV. I was about to go dig a home. I was in my reclinder. TV in the living room.

Christine's in her room watching TV or doing something, and I kept hearing. It sounded like somebody was opening a cabinet door and shutting it. All you hear was pop, pop, pop. So I finally got up one in there and I was looking all around. Nope, nope, nope, went back to sit down.

It starts again. I got up again, one and I stayed there for like 25 minutes, and finally he would hit it with his paw, it would come partly open and then slam back. So my man had been in the cabinet for two days. He's been in the cabinet all night. And he was stuck?

Well, he had slipped in there. Christina left it open. He had slipped in there and she had closed it. And he'd been in there all day. So, hey, he's about to starve to death. I guarantee you. When we get to heaven, we can speak to our animals.

I want to talk to sweet pee before I even talk to any of my old dogs. I hate to tell you, cats ain't making it. Only dogs go to heaven. But if there's an off... Ain't you seen the movie? Twice. If there's an off chance that sweet peas

in heaven and then we can now talk to her or him, whatever it is. Well, they think we can now, because they got dogs just talk on TV and all. That one's a little too long. Dogs that talk on tea? Yeah. Do you know the dog that, hey,

I sent you a video. The Manning brothers is talking about a walking bean. You have to scroll past it. It's a long one. A video of Sweet Peep? No, but, well, a Sweet Pea stuck in a cabinet situation. My boys, while we were on a trip, found the outside entertainment center at the Wheeler household. Your kids crack me out by the one.

That Jacob's oldest daughter had turned into her house. That's her Olivia. And so here we go. So they were like sweet pee. Waylon's like, no, let me in here. They're going to wait for it. That's like me up here to come under. Wait for it.

I had me a house. There you come. I had me a house. Oh, wait. I'm out. I got to get back in there. Yeah, I got to get back in my house. And then I heard him in there going, K, K?

I'm like, hey, why is he obsessed with the letter K? or is he talking to Miss K or like what's weird going on? Now I look in there so like on the assembly instructions, you know how they put letters on the thing? They didn't peel the letters off. So he's just sitting there pointing at the letter K. Apparently that was piece K that got adjusted. Yep.

And slack to do it. So hey, we're doing something. We got him. I mean, he obviously knows how to get to the middle of the alphabet. I guess that I guess we're not doing too bad. That's pretty quick. Yeah, I don't, he ain't two yet. He ain't even two and he can read a whole word.

Okay. I says it all the time. Okay. And they say us Americans are dumb. Where'd you go? Who me? Oh yeah, I've been gone. Oh yeah, we didn't get to talk about you coming back and like how you just go on vacation until further notice.

Yeah, I'm coming back. No. Give me a couple more days. Well, you know. How many fish do we get? A bunch. Okay. That's what I've seen.

Them suckers were. I told you. I can't believe you didn't. I told you. No, but we started, so we started a trip. We went to Nashville to see Brittany's family because some of them hadn't seen the boys in a hot minute. So we started, went there for a couple days,

went to the Nashville Zoo, which, spoiler alert, is very underwhelming for anybody that. Memphis Zoo's better. Yeah, well, yeah, we've been there. You know I got the zoos ranked. I wouldn't stay in Memphis. Winnipeg Zoo? Cold.

Lots of penguins. No, I don't know that. A lot of penguins. No, it was, yeah, Nashville Zoo. very underwhelming. I mean, Carter would love it. They do have six rhinos.

Six of them. Hey. But that's about all they got going. Gulf Shores got six rhinos. They got a herd. But yeah, the rest of it pretty overwhelming overall.

Except for like the Petting Zoo, they have. If you're that close to Cincinnati, you go to the Cincinnati Zoo. Is that close? I don't even know. When I get to that point, I don't even know.

But we just... That might as well be Canada to me, Nashville. Yeah. It's very north. But we did that. A RP? We did that.

And then we slid down to Chattanooga to hang out with my friends, the wheelers. And, yeah, we called a bunch of fish. And then you just stayed? Rivers or like? The fish in Tennessee River. Okay, river. And the, but the, yeah, I stay. I extended it because Jacob was like, why don't you just stay and fish this Monday night tournament with me?

Well, and the number one angler in the world asked you to fish a tournament with him. You're like, okay. Yeah, you do it. You're going to make like 200 bucks. Oh, win it? No, we did not win it. We came in fourth. We got our heads beat in.

Okay. But I guarantee you this, we spent way more in fuel than anybody else because we ran from way up the High Wassey River all the way to the dam, buddy. That's a long... That's a long way going 63 miles an hour. I don't like going that fast than a boat. I don't know. Hey, we got passed by one boy in the tournament. He had to be doing 80.

It was wild. I said, I ain't riding with him. I got a kayak. Yeah. That's basically what he had. It's a bullet boat that is pretty much a kayak with a 250 on it. No. Sir.

I mean, he went by us. Yeah, we got our heads beat in, though. Really? Mm-hmm. Good for that guy. Who won? Old man, I say an older gentleman, Mr. Tom, that's all I know. His name was Tom, and yeah, he beat us up pretty good, us and everybody else.

He won by like three pounds over everybody. Beth just texted me that the Winnipeg Zoo has eight polar bears, so, yeah, that's a win. That's way cooler. Can you imagine? St. Louis has only got one. polar bear and I watched that sucker for an hour. Really? You know what I would do with eight polar bears? How big is a polar bear?

How big is a polar bear? It's like if me, Martin, Godwin, I don't know who would be on bottom of this shoulder on shoulder situation? Martin. Which one? Probably Martin. Probably Martin.

A polar bear? A polar bear? Is it? Oh. Have you never seen a Coca-Cola commercial? Well, yeah, but I'm in. Those things are huge. Good grief.

Polar. I don't want to hunt one. because they hunt you back. A polar bear would eat you. Oh, no, yeah. A polar bear is back going hunting. Let me just tell you something. Me and a polar bear end up in the same area.

Yeah, you've crashed a plane. Something has gone terribly. Yeah, you took a wrong turn and that because I ain't living, I ain't going where he lives. Yeah. Period. End of store. And like probably.

He's got a good coat of fur on him. Probably the easiest way out is just lay there and let him have you. Because, I mean, you know, other than freeze to death, I know they're big. I think they are bigger than the grizzly. They're big. They're huge. Have you ever seen the one on that Coca-Cola commercial?

That sucker big. He drank that big old Coke whole thing. Two-liter. Yeah. It's a little. So you know he's big if he can hold a lot. A polar bear can be 10 foot tall and weigh over 1,700 pounds. I thought you'd going to say 10 foot tall and bulletproof.

Well, I'd say it would take a big bullet. I think it would take a big bullet. I think the grid is bigger there. No. Good. I think the grizzly bigger. You can look it up. Grizzly polar bear is bigger.

The other thing. Grizzly bears only get up to 600 pounds. That's how big a polar bear is. Huh? Grizzly bears, polar bears are like a thousand pounds heavier in a grizzly bear. Yeah, he better be. It's all fat, I hope.

It's double the size. Yeah, I'll make it. The, no, the other thing I forgot to mention, we did take the boys on their first boat ride, so that's kind of cool. Did they enjoy it? No. Miserable.

They didn't notice. Well, as an infant, you know, I say infant. They still got to wear them life jackets that don't let you like, you know, they're like. They got the handle on the back of the head. Yeah, like Michelin men looking and they're in sun shirts and Jackson run hot anyway. So he's out there. He's just misery. I mean, he looked like the Michelin man all zipped up in that thing.

You know, can't move, doing all the thing. I mean, they smiled a little bit. And he was cool once I let him, like, put his hands on the steering wheel. but no, it was not a great experience for them. They got to get a little bit bigger where they can wear just like the kid life jacket. Okay. Which he is already weighted out of that one, but I didn't want to take him out of it.

In case something went wrong, I need to be able to grab his big butt pretty quick. You want a handle on the back of a kid's life jacket. Yeah. So I think, you know, they're just, it's a little early for all that, but they have fun jumping around on the pontoon boat while it was parked and like, you know, all the things.

But they can swim too. Oh, they think swim. That's good news. Yeah, we weren't, they weren't going on. on the boat till they passed all their ISR swimming stuff. So they got their medals and they've done all that. And then we went and got in their pool and, you know,

for funsies, I made sure that what we paid for is what we got. I flipped them over on their back and they still floated. So I just threw them in? No, I did not throw them in. No, this was very much under control. And then, yeah, we swam, or I would, you know, hold them up under my arms and let them swim forward. So they still

were kicking and doing all the things. They were money well spent. I feel better about them around water should there be a problem. So, I highly recommend for new parents that may be listening to this podcast. Look up ISR training in your area. It gives you a little, I mean, you're still nervous as a cat, right? Like your kids around water that they ain't even wait until they start driving. Yeah. Oh. But you are a little more like if something happens, they do know how to like chill for a second

so you can get over there to them. Like it's not that big of a deal. They don't just sink to the bottom or anything goofy like that. Guy one doesn't sink to the bottom either. Especially in the salt water. He is. I might now. No, no. I still think you got it.

You think he can still float? Oh, absolutely. He better. He's a barge, son. Rescue ship whenever you're out there. But, no, that pretty well sums up the trip, though. Yeah, we caught some bass and had a good time. And, I mean, I almost stayed another day.

Them suckers were biting, man. I told you. Oh, they fish were biting. No, they bite. You're right. Oh, large mile. Yeah, I had a good old time. Hey, we went rafting again on the Ocoe.

We did that again. Went whitewater rafting again. Was that fun? No. You strike me as a person that would hate that. So when I saw that picture, I was confused. Yeah, I didn't like it, but whatever. It's what everybody else wanted to do.

You know, a big boat or like a canoe? A raft. Rraft. Yeah. But like a six-person. But see, unlike last time, like last time they made me ride up front, which was miserable. That's fun. This time I rode in the back.

and got to get to know my man, what was his name? Oh, his name was Russ, whose family, this was weird about this world. Russ is family all from Monroe, Louisiana. Really? The Waldrop family from Monroe, Louisiana. And we sat there and talked about back here.

I mean, he's like, yeah, I was born and raised there, and he's up there running guide rafting trips on the Ocoey River in East Tennessee. This world ain't that big, y'all. I don't know that I trust. It's definitely round, but it ain't very big. Oh, yeah. A person from Monroe guiding me on Olympic level Whitewater Rapids, I don't know that I trust it. Hey, I'm tell you, I've done it twice. He was better than the first guy.

Hey, all right. My man, he jumped out of our boat to save a head-on collision of two other rafts. So, and I was like, but what do we do? That's when you were in the back. You're in charge. Yeah, he did. He said, just paddle backwards. You'll be fine. Paddle backwards.

Yeah. So I pat on. He said everybody back. That's away from trouble. Then he got away and then he came over and got back in the boat. No. That's just, I mean, how do you end up up there? Like, he's from Monroe and he's.

Maybe he went up there and thought he could sing. He may went up there and a fish was biting. Yeah. Just stayed up there. Them suckers bite up there, unlike down here. I notice all critters are a little bit easier to deal with when you leave here. Yeah. That's because it's hot.

That's funny. You don't want to eat when it's this hot out. There's too many people to come down here and hunt here and then go up and say, hey, they're way harder to kill down here or catch them. This is a sportsman's paradise. Everybody that comes here and hunts and fishes, that's the same thing. Yeah. They're harder to kill.

That's why I go to Arkansas. Yeah. You want to know why that is? Because people in Arkansas don't know how to hunt and fish. Oh, they do. People here. Yeah. Don't train these animals up.

Oh, the problem is that they do. And so everything stops right there now. Yeah. That is on the duck. The problem is they've got better at it than we did. Then, yeah. Well, they're just higher up on the flight path. You got any emails in there, Herm?

A couple. We're going to have to keep this one a little bit shorter because I got a meeting. I got to get two. Who are you meeting with, boss? Willie Robertson. That's fun. Let me know how that goes. Colin, I don't know how to pronounce that last name,

and I don't do last name, so I don't know why I tried that. First off, loves the podcast. Second off, he's 16. He's from a little place called Wisconsin. Wisconsin. That's almost Canada. Yeah. That's where they make that cheese.

Get them cheese cards. It's a neat place. Anyway, he's trying to find a job recently. He was working for his uncle. His uncle moved, so he doesn't have that job anymore. He'd really like to work for a bait and tackle shop, but none of them are hiring, and everyone keeps telling him to go to work at a grocery store.

but I don't want a crappy job. Watch it. Just wondering what our thoughts are. He wants a job, but he doesn't want to work at a grocery store. You got to do whatever it is you need to do now so you can do what you want to do when you get older. Yeah. Do the same things you need to do with the spirit of the things you want to do.

You need a job. Doesn't matter what it is. Go get a job. keep your ears open. I mean, grocery store would be a great place to meet somebody else that could be hiring. Right? Like you're sitting there bagging groceries. Hey, man, how are you doing?

Oh, man, they're doing great. My guy just left. I'm in a little bit... Oh, cool. You know, I actually do that. Well, hey, come put in an application. Oh, there you go. Like, those, when you're looking for another job, social jobs are the ones to take,

like servers, grocery stores. I just like how he summed up two of the jobs I've had in life and called one of them crappy. He's trying to. And I find it weird that a goal is to work at a bait and tackle shop. Hey, your last name's on the deed. Don't even throw your hands up. Don't even throw your hands up.

Like, you know, there's a difference because having worked at a sporting good store, you don't make a whole lot of cash there. Just saying. You know what? thought it's a fun time it was a great job which is where i met willie robertson which is what got me to hear that's what i'm saying like you get in those social deals and you never know what connections and things and all that where life will take you and next thing you know you're reading my pillow ads laughing at uncle sighed putting deodoring on and sniffing it like you know

but like you made me sniff it that's what i'm saying after you apply it does smell right but that's what i and i worked in a grocery store at one point 40 hours a week and went to school and it was a crappy job. You know my first job there at that sporting goods store before I got to do the fun stuff and play with guns and all that. Floor sweeper? I was loading corn and Quick Creek and cutting pipe. And that's 50 pounds of shot.

That's what, Quick Creek is 80. Oh, okay. Loading corn and Quick Creek might. That's rough. That's what I'm saying. A case of bananas is not near as heavy as a case of Quick Creek. You know, we're a redneck town. So people always buying Quick Creek.

Like, I mean, every day, people always got plumbing problems. People always sit in fence posts. Like, Quick Creek was like our number one seller, man. 80-pound bag at a time. Trying to get where beavers can't dig through it. But I'm saying, I would say that a lot of people would look at that and call it a crappy job. But it was the job that I took. I learned more about retail in a grocery store than I ever did in college.

He gave you a very good sound advice. Beware you are with. the public. Yeah. Coming in and out all the time. And like he said, you can, but then you tell someone

where I would rather do this and I want to say it. He said, hey, that's what I do. Put in your resume. Connections, man. Life is all about connections. Networking.

Yeah, networking and connection. That's how I hired Luke. He was at Johnny's Pizza and shopped with us and every time we go in, we'd see him. And he was like, hey, I want to work there one day.

And one day we needed somebody. And now he's on to bigger and better things, but he, met people at the honey hall and went on. That's what every job is. It's a stepping stone to the next one.

Work. It's called to work. It's not what you know. It's who you know. Amen, buddy. Jesus is a good one. That's it. That's exactly right.

Speaking of Jesus. Casey from North Carolina. I thought we were going straight to Bible verse. I was like, what about Casey? Casey's got issues and she needs some answers. Well, go ahead. Casey's from North Carolina.

She was raised in church. Christian school never had to think twice about the Bible and Jesus. She's just always been in it, right? But she's got a boyfriend. Bum, bum, bum. Six months doesn't fully believe? I don't know what that means. I've used my education.

I don't know what that means either to try to explain to him. But he says he doesn't think everything in the Bible is true and he's done too much bad to go to heaven. That's not true. She's 18, firm believer. She's trying to figure out what she needs to do. Just keep

trying to convince this old boy or hit the road. I know you by the way yet. Don't beat him over the head. Yeah. Keep living at one. But also don't let the things in his life bleed into yours.

Right. So if you need to remove yourself from some of that, then remove yourself. Yeah, if his unbelief is dragging you down and causing a heap. I would just go say. You know, lifestyle or something like that.

Two things that you said he's got problems with, that he said that, hey, like the Bible's not true. And then he's been too bad that Jesus can't save him. He's in error both ways. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay, so like Martin said. That sounds like he's got a mild issue with accountability.

Yeah. You need to be, yeah, like said. you know, one or two things are going to help. Either he's going to affect you the wrong way, or it could be the other way. You will finally take him and bring him in. If you're patient and gentle, okay, but the man needs to be educated about Jesus.

Yeah. And he can see it through her life. There's no doubt about that. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of times. deals okay if you go along and you're you've invested a year with this man and there's no change i would move on yeah yep it's who's influencing who because it's going to happen yeah yeah yeah one of

he's going to pull the other one one way or the other if he starts dragging you down that other road then it's time to retreat cut the cord but here's you a bible verse for him casey romans five eight but god demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were still sinners Christ died for us. I don't care who you are if you're this guy, if you're somebody else out there just listening. If you think you're too bad to be saved by Jesus Christ. You're showing your ignorance, number one.

Number one, because the Bible says otherwise. And while you were at your worst, Jesus Christ... Jesus is at his best. Died for you anyway. Amen. And you have hope in Jesus Christ and being in heaven. I'm going to be there and I'd like to meet you. You need to tell him this.

Jesus is greater than everything on this earth that that man will ever run into. Amen. He'd ask him if he goes to the doctor after he gets well or if he goes when he's sick.

That is one of my favorite thing God would say. You got a broke leg. You let it heal before you go to the doctor or you go get a cast. That's what people say. I'm doing too much bad. Yeah, you need to rethink where you're at, dude.

Yeah, I got to start acting good before I can get hit. No, no. That's exactly. That's wrong. Also, the Winnipeg Zoo has eight polar bears. I'm still not going. Eight. Probably not.

But I'm interested. Oh, that's an intriguing animal. I got to go, boys. We'll see y'all next one. Right here in the duck car. Where are you going? What is that? No, right in there.

Oh, isn't it?
