We got a lot of questions today. We got a lot of things to talk about, Martin. Do we? We do. Well, welcome to the duck call room. Let's talk. Well, y'all get out there. I'm on gnaw on these nuts.

He's snacking. Guy, when you're the one that sent in things to talk about early to hunter, so he can put them on the screen. Oh, yeah, I am. I don't even know what it is. I do, kind of loosely. But, no, welcome back to the duck call room. Quick question, Martin. Go ahead.

Have you solved the trailer, deluxe? dilemma because I've got every answer in the book by every trailer expert that there ever was. Some of them, I believe. Yeah, I mean, I think there's a lot of good theories because I did. I went and read every comment to this point. I don't have access to the email. So if anybody shot us an email, I had a bunch. I'm going to forward them all.

Well, oh, yeah, God, when you weren't here. So the other day driving home from Birmingham, uh, and the Red Crest deal that I worked, I was driving, drove there, drove back. And about halfway back, I was climbing a hill of Mississippi, and my trailer, my boat trailer just all of a sudden started fish tailing for what I thought was no good reason. But after lengthy discussions with the boat manufacturer and the trailer manufacturer and friends and reading through these comments, I mean, I'm pretty sure that when I was accelerating going up the hill,

there was water coming down because it was raining. and that I spun a tire on my truck, rear wheel drive, just a little slick spot on asphalt. So my truck actually slowed down for a brief second. While my trailer were still going at speed, trying to push into the tongue. Well, that's where you're hitching your rear end come involved. And when it did, it just kind of got fishedale.

I am glad to know that most of the people said I did mostly the right thing. That was the most important thing from the email. Yeah. If you ever have a trailer going haywire, don't do nothing. Don't do anything or use the gas. Do never use the brake. Just put your foot on the floor

and hold on tight and click your bike. Which fits with what our friend Clint Boyer told me long ago when he was scared me to death driving through interstate traffic. Yeah. He said the gas is your friend. And we were just going to see a Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert concert.

Don't hit the break. Yeah, never the break. Either take it off the gas or give it gas. That's one of the two. I gave it probably the one. a lot of water in it too from the rain. Well, I have my plug out.

I know, but it's still gather up a little bit of weight there. Yeah, but you would think whenever it was pulling and going uphill with the boat tilted backwards that it would be draining out faster than anything. Yeah. But I guess it could have transferred a little weight back there that wasn't able. But I'm pretty sure I spun a tire. But hey, regardless, I got out of it. I couldn't make it do it again because I tried once I calmed down and quit shaking like

a dog trying to pass a peach seed. But, um, yeah. I thought a burn was trying to go out. I thought I blew a tire. I thought, you know, I went through worst case scenario. But you know what I did learn from this? What? We got a lot of people driving, listen to us.

Yeah. You're pulling big, heavy loads. Yeah. I know what I learned about it is everybody goes through it too. Like you sit there and think you're like in this isolated little deal. Like, this ain't ever having nobody, which was me kind of brings up what I did yesterday, which was, hmm. The world's smaller than you think of this.

It is that. But also if you're a truck driver, will you just reach up real quick and give the kids beside you? There you go. I used to do that. I still do it. They'll get beside me. I'll be like, hey man, well. Guy when I had another one yesterday.

What happened? He's laughing. It's kind of funny now. It still really just makes me very angry at myself. So I went fishing yesterday. Okay. You know, it started off a little cool. wore a sweatshirt.

Took my sweatshirt off, laid it in the boat. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, it's gone. I went to leave. You got sunburn. No? Look at me.

I'm not something. I wear other stuff than one shirt. That sweatshirt is at the bottom of the Beth River. Baff River. I got it. It is somewhere getting drug on Biff River by current. Problem with that is in said sweatshirt was my wallet. Oh.

Because my sweatshirt Hey look, in fact, if you watch the podcast often, you'll see I wore a blue Rappel of sweatshirt, though, it's that sweatshirt. It's got zipper pockets on it, so I put my stuff inside of it and zipped it up. Your wallet was in it? Oh, and my truck keys.

What did you do, take on? But you got spare truck keys. Yeah, back in West Monroe. Oh, that is a knight. They hanging on that knob by the door going out the back door. That's pitiful. Yeah, I got a spare key.

Oh, yeah. So, you had a late night. I got home at dark. Yeah. When I tried to, I sat down on the deck of my boat at three o'clock to put all my stuff up and like, I was, I even took time to organize everything so that wasn't a travesty the next time I got in. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know, and then I turned around and look and I was like, where's that sweatshirt?

This is not good. The last time I remember seeing the sweatshirt, I went to the sweatshirt, thank God, to get my phone out of the pocket so I could video. me rescuing a bat. I saw that. Yeah. Rescuing a what? A bat. A bat.

Or in the water? Yeah, he had fallen from somewhere. I don't know where, but he was swimming across the top of the water and I said, buddy. Yeah, you ain't. You ain't gonna make it. Something about to blow up on you looking like that. Like eight pound bats. Like five, six.

Yeah. Yeah. And so I went over there real quick, you know, because I thought this might be my chance to be a superhero or something. I would have waited for the blow up. But I wanted a video it too just in because I documented. Like, if he went crazy and bit me, We could tell the doctors why I died or something.

You know, or if I did get... I always think it, boy. Or if I did get magical powers, I just wanted to docket. Oh, yeah, that'd be cool. I grabbed him with my fishing rod, and he hung on to the end, and I went up there and just set him on a limb right by the trunk of the tree. You only get magical powers from spiders, not bats. You don't know that.

You don't know that. Batman never got bit by bat. How do you know? How do you know? Because I've seen the movie. John Lynch did. Once you let a bat bite you, and then we'll check out. Okay.

We'll watch. If we get it. But yeah, so that's the last time I remember seeing my sweatshirt. So how did you get home? So I called Brittany, who was more than sensitive and comforting about the situation. She's like, you idiot. I had the same thing the other day. Alice was mad at me.

She was like, boy, are you an idiot. That's why I hate when you go fishing alone. I said, yeah, good plans. The two others be stranded right now. We'd both be out here. That's not going to change. The fact that I said, well, somebody's in the back of the boat, maybe they stop. And look, I got so much crap in the back of my boat.

I don't know how it drug out there. This is a good Lord teaching me something. I'm not sure what. He's teaching you to put it in a driver's seat so you always sit on it when you skin it back. Well, I got it right there beside me. You know, I thought my leg was on top of like a sleeve or something. Yeah. But I think it got drug out.

You know how Beth is. I think it got drug out by some limbs. I was up there fishing shallow up there in the trees and all that. I got you. I'm going to ask the worst question. Yeah. How much can you? cash was in the wallet.

Not much. 100 bucks. Oh, yeah. Buying. Yeah. I mean, look, and folks are going to say, 100, no, that's a lot of money. It is a lot of money.

But there's times I've had significantly more than that in there. So the fact that it's just $100. Yeah. You know, the aggravating part is the replacement. Oh, no. That's the worst. Yeah. Of driver's license.

You don't have drivers left. Everything. No, I got that. I got the app on my phone, the LAID or whatever, which actually now works as your driver's license. And they made it very simple. I just got on their day in order to duplicate. Look at Louisiana being in the 20.

And the same way Louisiana is up their game with their hunting license. I don't have to have my little hunter's card, my hunter's safety card, my boater safety car. It is all there. That's pretty all. Just a voter on there? I need to look. That's a good thing.

Yeah, that's a great thing. It wasn't as bad of a. process it's set you know the worst process right we're gonna get side phone going and adding your cards to everything that is automatically pay all your bills and all that stuff that's the worst yeah which thankfully you know this isn't add time but rocket money lets me see which ones i need to go change yeah yeah you got it on this isn't it's all fair but i'm just telling you how you can really use it yeah yeah but uh probably ain't sunk it's probably I go.

It's probably, well, look, I went. Let's go find it. So I had like a three hour process. A three hours. For waiting on Jacob. Yeah. To, who lives on the river to go to my house, get my extra keys. Turn around, come back.

So for three hours, I went up and down that stretch of river with my prop trim up, down, just giving it everything, trying to just kick it up one time. Yeah. I figure it fell out and it's hung on a stump or something. like caught up on something. Yeah, with that current. Yeah. So I went and then I said, boy, you being an idiot because if you lose a lower unit in here,

then you're really stranded. Yeah, I backed off of that a little bit. But, buddy, I try. Look, I use forward facing sonar. I used side imaging. I was looking at every, I was using every tool that I had. They had. Yeah, I used crankbait, chatter bait.

Like, I just did everything I could to try to hook it, find it. You were fishing for your jacket? I was fishing for my shirt. Oh, DT6, just throwing it down there. Have you checked your boat very, very good? Oh, buddy. If it's in your boat. Buddy.

Look, I just kept, look, when I turned around and didn't see it, I said, I didn't put that in a compartment. But you know, the first thing I did? So I looked at this. I checked every compartment I have. So, well, maybe I just don't remember putting it in a compartment. No, I didn't. And then I was like, oh, was I smart enough? to actually put it in that Yeti cooler out there,

a little roadie that I keep for drinks. No, I wouldn't. No, I wasn't nothing but a bag of pork rinds and two bottles of water in there. Have I ever told you about the time I found my wallet after three years? Look, I told them locals. It was in Grant's couch at the office.

I told them locals on the river. I said, look, if you could just find my wallet, I said, take all the cash you want. Will you just holler at me. Yeah, bring me in my wallet back. I said, I really need them keys because I don't even remember what keys I liked. Yeah, what was on there.

So here was the other problem. I locked my trailer onto my tongue every time. I just do it out of a sense of habit. Well, you know where that key is. Yeah, it's at the bottom of the river. It's on that key ring. Yeah. So even like, this is the worst.

You know, even if like, like, well, let me come get it. And then, you know, I'm like, well, I can't take it off the truck. Like, it's forever attached to this truck. You got some box. Until I get to that extra set of keys. So, are you got, yeah, or you got a matabo and a generator? Like, what are we going to do here? 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 Triedails 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 Triedails 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 tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. So yeah, that was my day. you live and you learn i have never in my life not put that stuff in my center compartment of that boat you're in a better mood than i would be i'm proud what are you going to do i was pissed off yeah you're handling you're handling it very well well i mean i had an hour i had three hours of

searching for it and an hour ride back to the house to get unpissed off about it you know well since your life is once pot okay mine is back on key well good see it's all about It's all about balance. Oh, yeah. Look, Tuesday night, I was sitting there, and it was like 9.15, and I'm fixed to go to bed. And guess who opens the door and stand there like a model? Tell him. Home.

Your wife. My wife. And I said, well, it's about time. Did you really say it's about time? Oh, no. Yes. She said, oh, you know, she come over and give me big hug. I missed you so bad.

I said, you scared me so bad. that's great news so miss christine is back home miss christine is back home my life is back normal well i know you don't uh get all the emails or see any comments or ever watch anything that we do but because i'm not technically proficient i will just let you know hundreds of people were concerned and praying for miss christine yeah so somebody called her and said hey why didn't i get a call saying you had surgery and Christine said

Because I didn't have surgery And he said Well that's what they're posting on Facebook I said well they missed that Lord have mercy So she's back She's back Well good I'm glad somebody's life's going right

Oh I'm telling you Last week was a rough one Yeah Well they just extended So I don't know I don't know which one of you boys is next But good luck Hopefully

Try to top that Yeah hopefully mine ended with the wallet and keys going to the bottom of the river. I'm trying to think of what could happen to me. I guess I'll have to go fishing this evening and see what happens. Hey, can you go long line, Beth River for me? See if you run in there. Run a spinner bait, see if you can't hook up.

No, put them... Blue T-shirt. No, put them eight rods out the back of that crappy boat and just go... Just drank it over everything. He's going to start bumping off the bottom. Yeah, just grab everything. No, I don't know, man. I was hoping to have, like, a really cool ending to it.

like ha ha no no this is the ending some of the mother motor just off and he said hopefully it's the ending for now yeah I'd love for it's got tangled up in my prop I'd love to have been knee deep in water cutting my sweatshirt out of that prop yeah that would have been cool yeah it would have been better I've gotten knee deep

in water cutting a lot worse things out of it at them on sweatshirt but hey the cool thing is is one if somebody finds it or it's ever discovered my pockets are zip they are in there It ain't going to get away. Like, so it's, you know, but whatever, all that stuff's canceled. But you're very, if anybody on Beth River listens, I doubt it. But if.

All 12 of you, if you're listening. If you do and you find my sweatshirt, you are more than welcome to the cash. It's a cash reward. Yeah, there's. If you find it, the cash is yours. Just tell me, call me and tell me. Yeah. Well, everybody down there knows me, so that's a good thing.

But you are one of the few people that go fish there. A lot. Yeah, I fish there a lot. Yeah. I mean, I guessed it earlier. And I fish a stretch that nobody else, because it's such a far run from the boat ramp and so treacherous that nobody really goes that far up. It is treacherous.

You might lose your sweatshirt. Yeah, you may lose your lower unit, too. Oh, boy. But no, so there you go. So if you go fishing, put your stuff out there you go. Now I see why all them professional fishermen put their keys in their gas tank. They ain't got to worry about that one. Oh, in the truck.

Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah, I see. I get it now. Yep. Makes total sense. Yeah, you always want to be able to get home.

Either that or have a spare key in your truck somewhere, under somewhere. Yeah, I used to do that and then I lost one of them one time too somehow. Like the little hide-a-key come off the metal frame. Yeah, come off of it. And I was like, well, that's dumb. I don't even know where to look for that thing. I'm about to cause a stir.

What? That's why Ford's are great. The keypad? Because you just got the little code and you open the door, and they're the only ones that got it. Yeah. But that's magical. It is.

All trucks should have that at this point. Yeah, I don't disagree with that. I should have left the key. I should have locked the keys in it. That is a good safety feature. Well, you got that thing. Yeah, but that's in a pocket in the Puff River. That's in the key.

You need to get you a cyber truck. That way you can just drive it and unlock it with your phone. I need to just get me a boat house somewhere and not have to work. Man, that sounds cool. That would do it right there. We should all go. in together and get a boat house. If he's going to carry his wallet, put it in the

console of the boat somewhere. Yeah. Would you get it on the Beth River? What? The boat house. Yeah. Oh, I love to have one there. Yeah. I like fishing little stuff like that. That's just what I like to do. I like being one with nature. Like on Caney, I love it. It's full of giant bass. And giant

croppy, giant, everything in Caney. Big. Yep. Pinkip beans. Or chicken beans is my old woman called. The lake. Yeah. I mean, it's just wide open and big. I don't like fishing. I like little narrow rivers like, I like feeling like one one. I like finding a bat swimming on top of the water that I rescue and put up in a tree or, and do you know how many. I've never done. Oh, it is cool. You know how many big giant water snakes I saw yesterday just basking in the sun.

I would have been out. He wouldn't have been fishing with me. But they was. Well, I don't mind. I had a shotgun and I had one of them to take care of that. Would be blown to bets and swunk to the bottom. They were laid up on every limb and every bit of The sunshine there was. Hold on. Hold on. Yeah. I saw.

And look, I know they're non-poilness. Yeah. But they are so nasty looking. There was one, a big round is your arm. Oh, no. One of them big diamond-backed ones? Oh, no. Oh, no.

Because I've looked at it. I've had to look at them three or four times. Somebody told me, is that a darn rattlesnake? I thought the thing looked like a dang Anaconda. I was like, when we get them pythons and stuff up here, I mean, he was just so bulky. Oh, they wintered well. Oh, no. I would come up.

I would come and go up to go up the creek. Top of the street down there that fields. When the blue gills were on the bed. And it'd be just, you know, 250, 300, 500, 500 blue gills. But then there'd be 30 of them stupid snake. Just ready. You know, just they, you know, trying to bite the cork, fooling around, chasing the fish, you know. Just, you know, I wanted to take a submachine gun up there.

I said, I'll end all this. That's a little aggressive. Because I hate snakes, any I know. The first one I saw yesterday, I said, boy, I wouldn't be in it on this bag, buddy. We was filming for the Duck Dynastair one night and was shining. It was supposed to be frog gig.

And I see something over there and I said, what in the world? And Jay said, hey, y'all need to get him, making sure you get it on film. One of the big fish snakes had got himself about a three-pound catfish. And when he had tried to swallow him, he had flipped his, he had flipped his fins out. Oh, he's stuck.

Oh, so he's got him, he's got him in his mouth. Both of them's got both of them. Yeah, and, and they, his fins opened and they're sticking out where he ain't going to swallow him. You know who wins in that one? Well, nobody. Nobody. They both dead. Yeah, they both die.

Yeah, they'll die. The flies and the worms and whatever eats dead stuff wins. Yeah, buzzard and everything else. But anyway, well, let's take it. a break. Get a hank of water. We'll be right. Get out of the snakes off.

I've seen one was color of like a copperhead, but he was, he, bigger, copperhead don't get that big. This was a huge snake

and like you're talking about. It looked like anandakana. Yeah, this one more brown. The diamond back water snake a little more brown in color than a copperhead. Well,

I'm wondering if that was, if that was that, a cotton mouth, that color? No, Broadbanded to get that way and yellow bellies. Well, I killed him. There it was.

I blew his head off. Because he scared me. Let me tell you something. I never doubted that. No, no, because this thing was big in my arm and maybe six foot long. It's a wonder. I remember I lived on the Washington growing up. River?

Yeah. And there's a little old pocket right there by the house. We'd go down there and them logs and jam up in there. We'd walk out there and bring. Do you ever find a sweatshirt? No. It's a wonder we ain't got to it. What's it back?

Oh, man. We just climb out on them will of trees that bent over the water fish of them. Oh, yeah. Because them snakes that you'd have your stranger hanging down there. They'd get on your fish on that stranger.

Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, I've had many a water snake on a fish on a stringer in a pond wherever, you know, you fish. Oh, to be dead. You pick your stringer up and you, throw it back out wherever you stop the next time and it's just them snakes just sitting there following you is all you can eat buffet stuff i did when i was young oh yeah

how did we survive side because you're tough you are tough kids these days aren't just to ask me i'll tell you although hunter did you just get the picture i just sent you uh-oh i said last segment but it just goes along what's that kids these days aren't dumb and don't like hurt themselves and don't do crazy stuff. Well, they ain't my kids. Until you've met the Gar Commanders. What they do now? Uh-oh.

What saga have they unfolded? Look, he's laughing. I texted it to you. That's weird. Okay, sorry. Anyways. Yeah. So the Gar Commander walks in one of them and he's got a broke arm.

And I'm like, praise God. You know, because kids don't break their arms these days. So you're glad? Well, I wasn't glad. But I was like... So how did he break his arm? I said, what happened? And he was like, ah.

And then his friends all chimed in. Oh, yeah. That's what they're pulled. Yeah, and I was so excited to hear the story. The Gar commanders were all wearing a life vest, and they were taking turns seeing who could punch each other the hardest. Wearing a life vest because it wouldn't hurt the guy getting punched, right? Until you are the guy that can punch the hardest and you break your wrist.

He broke his wrist in a punching contest, punching a life jacket. Oh. Them boys are on a collusioning course with Bush Light, son, something fierce. You hear me? Like, I'm just here to tell you. They are going to meet somewhere down the road. We always talk about how it's a wonder we made it. And I'm like, kids these days are soft.

And then those kids show up to the honey hole. And what I'm telling you is I'm like, they're not going to make it. I'm going to their bonfire. That's what I'm telling you. You need to tell them, okay, because you need to tell them, because we did this as good. Okay, we got athletics tape, okay, wrapped our finger real thick.

All right, Tiger Woods. No, no. Then we took bacon, okay, and put it all over that tape, okay, and would stick our finger in crawfish holes and they'd grab it and pull them out. You'd have to replenish your tape or, hey, it would get it. Oh, you took that opportunity.

No, they did that. themselves. Marketing. They posted this selling advertising. I love it. Good advertising. If you shop here, be careful. That's what they say. Is that the Gar-Commander's house? They live on the river and a little pocket and they hurt themselves. They're the kids who might make America great again. There you go. But they would... Kids being kids. And the only way you can find out what happened is one of their

moms commented the full story of punching each other in a life jacket on. Breaking their wrist Fishing hand down Currently selling advertising Space It's a magical group of children That I love very much

Yeah. Does she cry? She's a little bit shorter than she once was. That's the toughest kid in America. She got two big brothers. Oh, kids these days, man. I could watch that in an uncomfortable amount of times. We're thinking about sending it into America's Space on video.

I got a GM inside a house. Lottie got a gymnastics bar for a birthday while back. She's getting pretty good at it. She jumped, she missed, went flying. Man alive. Yeah, that's good. I got a video the other day when I was gone of Jackson doing what he has done, I don't know how many times off the, on the ottoman.

of our couch and they climb off the same way and he did the same thing and then for whatever reason that day he didn't decide to use his feet no he's just there gone brittany's video and because i'm like what are y'all doing you know miss y'all whatever she sent me that video i was like yeah i wouldn't expect him that i mean he just decided what are you doing while i'm gone yeah he's like you know i'm just not going to use feet today see what it feels like just hit the floor. But that's the impressive part about kids. Oh, he didn't even cry.

The video popped up. He stood up with his head by the ottoman and he's like, if I did. If I did. He's in trouble. They got two stories. You know, he's on the second floor. Just bailed out, you know, down to the couch.

Who? What? From the top floor? Oh, for second story, yeah. I mean, just, wow. That is your grandson. Oh, no, no.

just y'all yeah now the best one on that was why are young male so dumb mine's a female that's over here I don't know who's the only female in this room but a young male is a dumb creature oh no oh no look why it comes in there and we're tough christain's got a bunch of stuff that she's had

since she's been a little girl that her grandmama and everybody made for real real pretty stuff you know handmate and got them up on on shelf else on top. Well, he starts climbing up there and I said, no, you know. Well, he just looked at me and then goes on up, grabbed one and drops it. So I grabbed him, snatch him off there and just tear his butt up.

Like he ain't ever been tore up before. Oh, yeah. Like it didn't just happen yesterday too. No, three minutes, three minutes go by and he comes back and starts climbing up. I said, no. Well, he pulls this about three times. He's fixing to do it again. And his mom comes in and says, Wyatt, come here.

She said, do you know who this is? Important to me. And he, yeah, it's Pumpa. And he said, well, hey, you know that hard head you got? This is the one that gave it to you. She said, you're not going to win with him. When he says you know, he means no. Well, he did again.

I tore him up again. It took him in there. She said, hey, do you know where you got it? You got it from him. You're not going to beat him. He's a hard editor. You got your sense of adventure and your hard head from that. Hard head.

It's hardheaded her. Well, I kept looking at him like, you know, you'd figure, hey, five times. When is it going to sink in that when I say no, it means no? Never does. I'm telling you, young males are the dogs. Oh, no, they are. You got to take that library car away from. I'd be honest with you.

Us old males ain't real bright. Well, no, no. Yeah, I agree with you. I wholeheartedly. Because you know why? You'd be looking up one day and your sweatshirt, wallet, and keys is floating down the river. Oh, no. Here's me.

The one one that I ain't even going to tell it. I'm going to. Hold on. Johnny D. D. Dumbest thing you've ever done. Fars. You're embarrassed.

Godwin, dumbest thing you've ever done. Dumbus thing you've ever done. Like. like that could I hurt myself? Yeah, that's just like pure stupidity. Like the epitome of young male. I'm not saying like...

We've talked about jumping off the Darbone. Yeah, yeah. Bayou Darbone Bridge before. The first person in my friend group that ever did it was me because everybody was up there and they were two chicken. And we've been standing up there for a minute, not looking at the water, not knowing if a boat was there,

not knowing if a boat was coming, And I finally said, you just got to go on one instead of three. And I yelled one, ran, jumped over the bridge. And about the time I was up there, I said, what if there's a boat? Yeah, but you're falling. And I'm finally, I'm landing in the boat. Yeah, you can't steer. Yeah.

And luckily, I hit the water. There was no boats. But the whole way over the railing, I was like, I did not check if this was safe for the moment. And I went in splash. There you go. Yeah, that's pretty dumb. That's pretty done. You know, I raised motorcross when I was young.

Mm-hmm. The flying fleet. And I took off. We was all riding the trails, me and my buddies. And there was a hill. They had dump truck come back there and it done got hard. We'd go over it, you know, and I'm like, I'll show these boys. I'm on my bicycle.

I'm thinking, I'm going to do the same. Like pedal? Yeah. I thinking I'm going to do the same thing. I did on motorcycle. With the engine. I take off. Well, you know, I got shocks and everything on there.

No shocks on bicycle. I pulled up on that front end like I did motorcycle, I guess, just replay. And I done a flip. Oh, no. Except I didn't complete the flip when I hit the ground. Flat of your back. Out like a light. Here gone.

A-ya. Did knock you, you knocked you out? Oh, I was out. And bolts were standing over me. And I couldn't even. breathe. It knocked a breath out of me. I know right where God was in.

Did you go to the emergency room? No. How old were you? Oh, I didn't. Oh, that's probably. No one. No one. I was done?

10, 8, 19. I went to the emergency. I went to the pond, dove in with swimmer forever. Yeah. Dove in? I thought somebody stabbed me. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh. Somebody had walked out there and beat a stupid board. into the mud and I hit that just right here. I come out of there and just, you know, just it bleeding. I was talking about what in the world? And they said, what happened to you?

I said, hey, some idiot has walked out here and steak something out there underwater. Steak bed, they catching them crap out of it. Instead, they caught them big old sci fish. Yeah, yes. How many times did you go to the emergency room in junior house? Me? Yeah.

My parents weren't believers in emergency room. Oh, I had to. When I broke my wrist when we were talking about, you know, like, You know the emergency room when you broke your wrist? No, waited until the next day. We knew it was broken. Wait until the next day. Went to the orthopedias.

Oh, yeah. My parents were big believers in. If I let this hurt a little bit longer, maybe you won't be dumb enough to do this again. Maybe, yeah, you won't do it again. So like, my dumbest one, we were all right. You know, I turn them sand pits where 30, 33 splits and all that. We were riding four wheelers out there in high school.

We always did. Yeah, everybody going out. Yeah. And I'm hot riding old Honda, Big Red, you know, riding a wheelie. Hey, guys. Gone, buddy. They dug off the backside of one of them thing

where we had been riding. And as I'm going over the edge, there's a track hole here and a dump truck here. And thank the good Lord, I somehow split them. Wow. But, you know, on top of that, I compounded the dumbest decision I'd ever made because I said, I got to get off his three wheeler.

You know, as I'm like, I get off his thing. Well, I got off up. It landed on you. And it landed on me. And I said, you know what? You know what Jerry and Jolene didn't do? Raise it where. Take me to the emergency room.

They said, no, that one, you're going to need to remember that. Not only do I remember it. I got a dent in my butt cheek from it. That ain't even a lie. You can ask Brittany to confirm that one. And the back rack on that Honda Big Red is still bent. Dad said, I ain't straightening it out. He said, I want you every time you see it.

I need to see what. Remember that. I got there. Yeah. How big is it did on your butt? How does that not grow out? You want me show you? No.

Oh, I will. We're going to need at least one more person. I mean, I showed you the front end of me. I'll dang sure show you the back end. I had to see that great fruit. But see, that wasn't a mistake. That wasn't dumb. That's just science.

It's like, how does a dip in your butt not grow out? Hey, I don't know, but it's still there. You never had a concussion, though, because let me tell you, basketballs and rollerblades, that'll get you to the emergency. Well, to get a concussion. And I don't remember it. I think to get a concussion, you'd have to have a diagnosis. Have I ever had a concussion?

Most definitely. Have I ever been diagnosed with one? No. Absolutely not. I still don't remember. Buddy, I spider webbed three windshields in high school. Okay. From riding with people like size fringe.

Oh, no, no. Yeah. In mud. Yeah, ignorant. Oh, yeah. And you got a big head. I got a big in. My cousin, Jerry.

I didn't tell you the bad thing. But I understand why I was involved in. Mm-hmm. It swole up. Yeah, it was in the front seat, through the windshield and back. Back. And look, he just, you know. Hey, two of the three I spiderwebbed, I had a seat belt on, buddy.

One of them I didn't. I learned my lesson. That was the first one. You got a big hand. I said, no, I ain't go a mud riding with the gym. You got three. Yeah, I ain't going to mud riding with you plant. Oh, man, we knew out there off New Wall's Road, we knew what we was doing.

Be an idiot. Blind hitting that mudhook. He hit that mud hole and come to a very abrupt stop. Yeah. But you only got me once. See, that first one hurt so bad, I said, you ain't getting me again. Okay. So.

Spiderwebs. All three of them in the 7-1-292? Is that south of Interstate? Mm-hmm. New Wall's in? I think so. No, that's North End. Oh, okay.

Yeah, it is. That's North Interstate. Mine was only in seven. I'm sure that, I'm sure that picks up. By McGuire. I'm sure that picks up Rocky Branch's zip code, but I don't know what that would be. I don't either. Rocky Branch wild, too.

Yeah. But, yeah. What an interesting. All of them. Yeah, they were all North Interstate because two were at New Walls, and one was at Nipping Tuck up in, like, Downsville. All Hunting Club. You went four-wheel of riding on.

I'm offended that John Godwin knew you had a girlfriend. I didn't. I told him before we started recording today because he showed me the pictures. Yeah, he didn't want me to show this. Yeah. Hold on. He's a nice person that I am. So how long were you going to go before you told all of us that you had a story?

He just said he doesn't have a girlfriend. I mean, we didn't put labels on it. Oh, but we are dating. Hunter on the chance that your girlfriend does. What's this? You better let her know.

All right. It's time to have the tell her. And you may all to let her know that she's in fact your girlfriend because it sounds like she may not know it. And by the way, Hunter has this email's address. I like it. Hunter, what do you mean you're dating, but she's not your girlfriend?

Well, we've been dating for about a week and a half. Okay. Gone on, how many dates? Few. Where did you go? Where was the first one? So it was a double date. Yeah?

I was set up, actually. I like it. Not us. Coffee. Coffee dated books a million. An Excalibular. I'm a scale of one of ten. I'll have the first week and a half going in this love affair.

Different question than I thought was coming. Amazing. She's so cool. Have you kissed her? She's so cool. Yes. Very much. Yeah.

Oh. Y'all. So this young woman has got potential. So Hunter, you kiss and tail. I like it. I like it. Hold on, but she's your girlfriend. She's your girlfriend.

Whether you want to say it or not, she is. Here's the question. Because these kids these days are. Okay. I don't even know what they're like, oh, where this is this? Would you have to break up with her? Yes, you would. You'd have to have a conversation.

Yes. Your girlfriend. Okay. you know next Tuesdays bring your girlfriend to work day. Uh-oh. We just made that a thing. Actually. We made it official.

I don't. Do not call her. No, no, I'm not going to call her. For the sake of you in this relationship, do not call her. I almost sent a picture and decided I'm not going to do that.

Okay. So you got to bring her and let us. She, my friends decided to tell her what I do for a living. I don't tell anyone what I do, especially girls that I just me. Wow. Are you embarrassed of us? I'm not embarrassed.

You should be. You should be. I'm not, I'm not, It's just when I first meet girls I'm not like, hey, I work for the Duck Commander. It doesn't care near as much street credit as it used to.

And also, in a circle, not as cool as another circle. Now they're like, wow, those guys are still trying to hang on to celebrity, huh? But my friends. And yes, I'm one of those guys so I can say that. Get off me. My friends made her show me a picture of her dressed as

Si when she was 10. Okay, so that, see, that makes me feel really old. Hunter's girlfriend. Si was a figure in her life when she was 10. Wow, we are old. So she thinks we're cool. Yes. At one time, she thought we were cool.

Well, now we're just those old guys. That's right. The old guys, yeah, still trying to do something. Because you worry, in Hunter's Circle, we're probably not, you know. That man is in every circle. That's true. Right. Yeah.

Now, the rest of us probably not. The rest of us probably not so much. But it's cool that she's a fan. But this is she want to meet. I? Well, you better on. Hey, what ain't wrong? Monday of two.

But you may no longer have a girlfriend. That's that. Hey, I'm my steeler. The coal is not to scare her off. What's her first now? Obviously, we don't want the whole name. Her name is cat. Cat, yeah.

That makes a lot of sense. Cat man do. Short for Kathleen. Kathleen. K or C? Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Now, watch out for those that spell. I'm really, I'm really learning more about her. her parents than her. I can't say nothing. I put a Z on the end of the name. She's a knockout, boys,

she's Kio. I'm so happy for Hunter. We've been trying to get Hunter a girlfriend and for a long time and we didn't help it all, but where have y'all shared a meal together? Chili's. No,

she kicked my butt in a laser tag. Uh, go cards. You need to tag. Air hockey. I want to say there was something else. Oh yeah. Yeah.

She's way more redneck. The most competitive girl I've ever met. I bet she can quote Talladega night. Oh, that's why. why she keeps you around. I love this person. Kathleen, if you're listening,

you're welcome to join us at any point and meet Sai, but you have to bring a picture of you dressed up as Sai at age 10. Or the costume. Just wear that in. There you go. That's right.

That way nobody can positively identify you, and you have plausibility of ever dating this, man. Hey, you know what, though? You can denial. All these people that send emails in, how do I get it? You know what you do?

You be yourself, and that's what Hunter did. And now he's getting beaten laser tag. He gets a show a girl Star Wars, and he found a girl that on a scale of 1 to 10, he said, is awesome. There you go. Oh, congratulations, Hunter. I'm happy for you, brother. On scale of 1 to 10 is awesome.

They're eating very good to Waffle House. And they're going to Waffle House together. Do you remember what your first date was? Ever? No. Or with Brittany? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's funny. It's more redneck than Waffle House. Wouldn't believe that, would you? Y'all went to the Golden Corral? No. No, more redneck and golden corral. Oh. Daytona.

Caledega. There it is. Daga, baby. Oh, wow. Daga. What happens on the boulevard? Staying on the boulevard. Actually, I don't know.

I ran from that boulevard once it started getting dark. Oh, yeah. It got uncomfortable for me. a little wild. Yeah, I said, no, I got it out. That's why Talladega's got its own jail. Only racetrack to have its own jail. And it should.

And it's full. They should go there. It's full. They got there. At all time. They were awarded proper compensation when they got there. Man, Paula's first date, I took her squirrel hunting. And that's right there with Daka.

and got all the good stuff that you don't got, so maybe y'all will make a perfect match. Maybe together you'll be completely average. How's that? And you'll be made complete. Just like all of us. Yeah, everybody.

Are you taller than her? Yes. That's what I'm talking about. That's a good start. Yeah, no, when I say average, That's what the marriage is supposed to. You balance out each other's teeter-tottered. Yeah.
