Okay, what are we doing? Sorry, I love Rutgers stories. They're some of my friends. Oh, they're hilarious. You need to give this to Martin and give this to fill. When? Because I want them to say, during this.

And then Martin needs to read that by a lantern. Right now? That's going to be good. It's an 18-year-old, okay? Okay. Asking me for a guy. Tell me that when we start filming. Okay.

You say, walk over there, young man. You just have to repeat that whole thing you just did. Why can't you read it? Because you're more important. Well, that's what we're going to go into. I really thought that was my only job on here was reading. Apparently, I'm losing that one. Yeah.

You better put a headset on, big dog. We're waiting on you. Hey, I thought we was ready to go, boys. Well, we were. You were. Well, all right. I'm ready now. We ready?

We've been doing this podcast for 15 minutes, but Sy hadn't put his headside on. All the people have missed all the good shots. Hey, hey, well, here you go. Welcome back. Welcome. We're like a minute eight, I think, but we've been yelling at each other. Take this, give this.

Is this a Rutgers? Give this to Martin. Yeah, he'll read it later and I'll answer. It's from an 18-year-old. And then give this to Philip because, hey, these are from the fans, and I can't pronounce the word, the families. So Phillips is going to say thank you for the pitcher. And look, look at this fine special.

That is a dangerous. name to pronounce. No, no. And you're asking me to walk away. You know why this is such a beautiful creature? His name is Cy. His name is Cy. Hey, Mark's pretty sharp.

He's a chocolate. And he's a chocolate lab? No, he's a draught hair. Oh. German. German dog. Look. One of them sophisticated, though.

Look here, I'm telling you could take that dog right there if he's German trained and take him in a restaurant and put a steak in front of him. And he had sit there the whole time and watch you eat it. Well, then I don't trust it. Oh, how you can trust you. Dog's supposed to eat. Well, you're welcome for taking the stuff across the room. Now, hey, thank the fans.

So this is to Uncle Si from the Chibbitties in Oklahoma. Okay, and they sent me the picture of Si, which is a drought hair. The Chibis. A beautiful dog. And his name is perfect, okay. Do you think that's how you pronounce that? That's what I've pronounced it. Chibbitties.

Is it right? Chibbitty? Yeah. It was a dangerous spelling. Yeah, it was a dangerous spelling, though. That's why we have a password. Now, Martin, you need to read the first paragraph, and then I'll answer that young man.

Uh-oh. I can't wait to hear what it is. I'm worried. Wow, what a lie. Yeah. Well, hey, look, I want to answer it. Go ahead and read. I know.

I'm with you, but Jaden, I guess we'll just get into Melbaugh, because this is legitimate Melbaugh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Jaden from Tallahassee, Florida, Go, no-oh. That's a problem. Go Knowles.

That's good. I like the first. Dear side, I know your adult years are long gone and probably a little funny to remember. Okay. That's true. But if you could, just take a minute. You had some knowledge. It would be greatly appreciated.

What is transitioning into adulthood like and what was it like for you going through it? Did it have a positive or negative impact on your life? Okay, that's all right as you do. Oh, you don't, the rest is where it gets really. Well, hold on now. Read it all then. Read it all. No, let's take one second at a time.

No, no, read it all. Because I'm about to be 18 soon, so I'm worried about the new challenges I will face, since my parents will no longer be responsible for me or my actions. For example, I'll have to pay taxes. That's right. Schedules my own doctors and dentist appointment. Worry about finding a place to move for the time being until I can afford to buy or build a house.

Is he getting kicked out? But what advice would you give the younger generations as for me and others face? Okay. Facing. Yeah. This transition in order to be the most successful and stress-free. Jaden, I'm reading your letter. I got terrified there for a second.

But hold on for you, I'm going to let you go. Martin's got something. Making sure there's nothing else that he needs to mention. No, you're 18 and graduating high school. and you just typed a letter out in 2023. There is no doubt that the program that you used to type this letter out had some grammar suggestions. Oh, boy. I'm just saying you're graduating high school and about to be an adult.

You have to learn to communicate like an adult. Martin was the wrong guy to have read that. Hey, communication is key, but I need to give one an alert. Yeah. Okay, or what? Public service announcement? Yeah. There you go.

Hey, warning. Okay. In other words, this is my, my, what happened to me and how I handled it. Warning, the story you're about to hear is only 95% true. You kids ever heard of nom? No, no, no, no. Here's the deal. Okay.

For me personally growing up was a pain in the rear. Okay, it was scary. Okay, I really didn't know how to handle it. Time out. one good way, okay? But I was not mature enough. Okay, that's the reason college was not for me. Okay, I wasn't mature enough to handle it.

Okay, but here's my advice to you. Because I don't want to scare you. It is scary growing up. That's just like when you get married, okay? That's scary too because, hey, look, you know, the only book written for all this is, and that's why I want to get to tell you, here's my advice to you.

I tell people all the time, especially youngsters. Okay, look, put Jesus in your pocket, shirt pocket, okay, and I'll leave him go further. You really can't put him in your shirt pocket, but you can keep him in your heart and mind, okay? And everywhere you go, you got to remember, I'm taking Jesus with me. Do I really want to take Jesus where I'm going? And if the answer to that is no, then you don't go there. Yeah. okay if you can't with a clean conscience go somewhere with jesus with you okay you don't need to go there

that will help you out you know tremendously but yeah here's my advice to you know being an adult okay we got to you got to grow up sometime is what they told me okay you still haven't done it hey i know it okay okay so look that's my problem okay your problem is okay, your choice is to either grow up or he's a stale child like I did. Now timeout. Thank you. Okay. Time out. I've been trying to call it time out.

You went to literal war. You grew up, big dog. Like you had fun doing it and probably not a lot of people did have fun and nom. But I made the joke like you kids ever heard of nom because I kind of thought that's where you were going because I mean

the streets of Florida these days, like it ain't Like, it's scary, but, like, it ain't that tough. I can't think. I think. I'm just reading the rest of his letter, too. Yeah. And I feel like perhaps maybe his parents have done him a supreme disservice by doing everything for him.

Now, that happens a lot in this age. I mean, I see it all the time. Well, hey. And your parents are there. Like, mine did this. Mine watched everything that I did behind the scenes, but they let me pay bills before I left. They let me. they enabled me to do these things and make these decisions

so that when I got out on my own, it wasn't like what he's describing. And I'm worried that they have never given him that opportunity. Well, then I know. Here's the thing, okay, because you've been really tough on the parent. No, I'm just asking. I'm just going off of context clues.

Hey, it's an apparent, okay, it's inappropriate because I had a buddy man. He asked me one time and said, hey, where did I go wrong? Yeah. I did the best I could do and I gave them and I said look you didn't have but one problem

you loved your kids like you're supposed to and you gave them too much okay and here's the problem them idiots your kids didn't appreciate it okay you know and all that is you love them too much

so you want to give them a better life than you had absolutely okay so that's what that's what his parents did but here's the thing hey you have to admit Okay, y'all keep saying about I did grow up. To a point. No, you grew up. In some things he did.

Hammer. To a point I did. You had a kid in Germany. You went to war. You raised two children to become productive members of society. You've got a best-selling book. Didn't kick you out of the military, even though you took a nap every day for 26 years. Yeah.

You did something right. 24 and a half. Sorry. Apologies. The problem is you just remember in the last. 10 years when it was fun. You ain't even going back to the year sit at that reed machines punching your finger through the gym.

How about them years on that golf course where you were just grinding and out trying to provide for your family. Jay, but here's what I'll tell you, Jay, look. I've got it to you. You're scared of the unknown, which is fair, right?

Because you don't know. That's a fair. That's a fair fear. Yeah, that's good. And it's a healthy fear to be scared of it. but man it's not as bad as you think it does suck to see that money leave your paycheck don't get me wrong but let me tell you what i've learned about this growing up when you owe somebody money that'll let you know they'll find you also they'll run you down if you owe the IRS

they'll find you most time though just take it straight out your paycheck that's it don't have to find on this man's list of biggest concerns he has is the dentist yeah taxes doctor's dentist you just Hollard, yeah. He's just giving examples. Hey, bro, I ain't even been to the dentist. And you can stay on your, you can stay on your parents insurance to you 26. So like, you're still, you're still straight in the United States right now. So you're fine, man. I believe in you, my friend. Yeah, Jane, I got full faith in you. I just would caution you when you send people letters, resumes, things like that. Take the extra time, because you are going to be a man about to embark into the workforce or whatever is next. You could be a dentist.

You could be a dentist, could be a doctor. People owe you money. Take the time to make sure that your first impression, whether it be a resume, cover letter, interview is done correctly and done well. You have the format down beautifully. It's just in the typing is a little all. It doesn't make your story any less true or concerning. I mean, we understand that there's some grammatical errors.

Absolutely. But the truth is he's nervous about. moving out, don't know if he's ready. But you're not going to be ready. You're just going to have to do it. When we transition kids from where I work, when we transition them out, we make sure that we teach them, we train them, we give them everything we can, and then they're out and they're on their own.

Then you kick them in the butt, kick them out in the world. Hey, I've been there. Then they learned okay. Hey, it was a young age. It was every man for himself around my joint. That's it. Sink or swim, right? Yeah, sink or swim.

But, hey, let me remind you, here's the, here's. the two key things. Like I said, keep Jesus in your heart and mind. Amen. And then, okay, hey, becoming an adult sucks,

okay? That's true. You're going to learn that, okay, but hey, I'm just telling the truth. It sucks, okay,

but hey, you're going to do it. And then the other thing is, okay, hey, look, learn to laugh at yourself when you do something stupid, okay,

because you're going to do it because we all did. Even in war. Okay, and look, but here's the thing about it. laughter cures all illnesses. Good for the soul. That's biblical.

Learn to laugh and keep laughing. Okay, because hey, you're just going to look and say one day, you know, everything that's happening around me and everything that I'm involved in and everything about me and my life sucks. I'm going to give you one last one. The absolute worst thing is you transition into an adult that somebody's going to tell you is no. Ask the questions. Do the things.

things and it's fine and all they can say is no the worst answer they'll give you is no don't be scared to ask that's that it's okay you want to raise you got to ask the boss i deserve a rate yeah also he can say two things yes you're a good employee and i'll give you a raise or no you need to work on you'll need to work this this and this yeah so also it's that i don't think his parents are just kicking him out to the wolf i didn't get that but i think just i think he's just like wanting to leave Just for a new... He's ready to go. And that's a bad cause.

He needs to communicate with them and find out. And unfortunately, you just showed signs of becoming an adult that you want to go. See, I don't want to do that because here's my deal. Last night, you know who cooked my meal? My dad. You know who cooked my wife's lunch and my sister's lunch today? My dad. So, ain't nothing wrong with showing back up to getting some groceries every night again,

making this adulthood thing a little easier from people who got it figured out. They've been there. Hey, my parents' fridge, I've never gone over there and there ain't been food in it. So if I ever need some food, go home. Just go home. Jolene, still got some little debuts hanging around that pantry just in case I stopped by. That's the deal. So don't, this whole like growing up.

Jaden, I hope we've helped you a little bit. Yeah, and don't be in a hurry. That's because the number 18 is there, don't be in a hurry to grow up, man. You've got time, big dog. But let's take our first break. We'll be back right after this. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up.

You know what that means? That means more outside cook. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedales beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy 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 come to them. But with Triedale's beef, we skipped the grocery. store and do it a different way. Triedails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way.

Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. 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 isn'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. Martin, would you like to do another segment?

Yeah, why not? What are you guys been up to? What's you bad guys been doing today? What's been happening with y'all? I'm going deer hunting a seat. Oh, Hey, I thought, didn't you have a good shot at one

and didn't take it recently? Hmm? Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. I didn't have the green light. Oh. Stone's got to say green light or red light,

and he doesn't say either one. Sire. Pull out your driver's license. Look at your last name. You got the right name. Don't listen to us. No, no. No.

You got the green light. Oh, I don't have a green light. Hey, he is the green line. Oh, because we are in the management, okay? Me, and when I say we, it's me and Stone are in management. Wait, are you assisting with management? Yes, I'm assisting with it. Look, the only reason Willie killed Bobby Brown yesterday or a day before yesterday

is because last year I let him walk and I should have shot him. That was a big deer. Because he was bigger. No, no, because he was bigger last. Internet. So we missed what happened was we misjudged the age. Okay, because I should have shot him later. So are you saying deer management is flawed?

Well, see, his deer management is flawed. Yes, because there's a human involved in the deer management. Well, they none of them got ID. That's right, because we're flawed. They don't walk around with a deal around their neck saying, I'm two, I'm three. Well, they do. But sometimes being the human element, okay, we misjudge it. It's what happens when a bunch of duck hunters decided they're going to try to be deer hunter.

That's right. That's what happened. That sums it up. Well, hey, because I'm still in the learning age. I ain't graduated yet. Si, you're 75. Go have fun. Si, you can do without anything you want to do.

See, y'all trying to get me in trouble. No, what I'm telling you is this. It's 75 years old. You can't get in trouble. If something walks out and makes your heart go pitter-patter, well, then by all means, have fun. No. Send it.

No, I ain't got, yeah. Size's showing some restraint. Well, that shows, you know, that shows, you know, grown up. And I ain't, I ain't grown up yet. That's what I'm saying. I'm still a kid. You're responsible, but not grown up. Sa, can I tell you what I did?

Can I tell you the biggest bone-headed move I've pulled duck hunting in a hot minute? Yeah, what? Saturday. Click. What happened? 30 green winged teal. Was there a click? 30.

And they're backpedaling. A little tight timber hole. About as big as this room. Oh, my goodness. I got them to spin inside of it five times And didn't shoot them No, we shot them Did you shoot them?

I did not kill a thing You missed them? Did you shoot three times? Oh for three Oh for three inside of 30 I thought he might be on safety And then what was wrong? I don't know

Oh that's the yips Oh no He's got the yips Here we go again That's what he was The yips guy Well let me tell you what happened this morning That's yippie Skippy

Oh don't tell me you repeated it No, no, this morning I got about 12 inside the hole. Yeah. Different little timber hole. Yeah. And I killed five and three shots. Okay. That's what I'm talking about.

You made up for it. It wasn't a yip. Somehow, some way, I don't know if I didn't have my gun right on my shoulder or something. That's a brain for it. Something got a little janky there. But I did. I cannot begin to describe the last time that I went 0 for three on a group of dust. Oh, no.

So I can tell you all about it. I show did it Saturday. Oh, no. So I's never done that. Oh, oh. Yes, I have. Normally when I do do it, I say, hey, somebody grab a break a limb off and just whoop thee, you know what out of me.

That's what I told him. So that you shot three times at 30 till and at 25 yards. I was hunting with another 75-year-old man. He killed two. I looked up and I just, he looked down there at me and I was just doing this. He said, what's wrong? Yeah. He said, what's wrong?

I said, hey. I ain't got nothing. Hey, tell me, here it is. See them three and then the big old. Oh, about three times, then you've got to go. Actually, now that I think about it, it gets worse. I went 0 for four. I had time to put another shell in.

And shot again? And shot again. Hey, I can't do it. I only go 0 for three. I only go 0 for three. Yeah. I can't get it. Yeah, I had time to fumble around in my pocket and get another shell.

Yeah. Well, that's the time that when I shoot and like multiples fall and everybody's high, high fiving all that and all Jason and him down there and saying, oh boy I killed them in there and I said jason now you kill dolly squut I said you shoot the slug all you did was make a splash I said the reason multiples fail is I'm shooting this open bore 20 gauge I may can get Jared to give hunter the footage put on you to I mean it's like the most beautiful oh no it's like that delwash out of it and then 12 foot over it recently you'd have thought they'd have been you'd thought they'd have been so dizzy.

They'd just sat down and wouldn't have to go no way. Yeah, just failed anyway. Yeah. So, I want to know, in order, who's the best to the worst in y'all's blind as far as shooting ducks? Uh-oh.

Honest, you want the honest answer? I really want the honest answer, actually. Well, hey, I don't need you to be honest. Nowadays. Now days.

Who is it? Number one. There's only one. There's only one number one. Oh, no, no. No, no. No, see, it's changed. John Godwold.

It's changed. No, it's changed. It could be Goddard. Used to, no, no, used to I would have said, okay, if you just said, okay, back in the day who was the best, I'd be Phil Robert. Oh, absolutely. No. Okay. 100%.

The best. Nowadays. I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. Yeah. But we're talking. December, 23. Yeah.

Nowadays, old age has creeped in. And, no. That ain't that way now. It ain't crept in. It's coming running. Oh, yeah. Well, anyway. all of us. That would be a hard one to say anymore.

On the best one? Yeah. Oh yeah. It's Jace. No. It's still Jace. Hold on. I don't think so. So I don't agree with you. But Martin ain't in the blind with him like you are. No, no, no. I'm just... Is Martin count? Martin watches all the footage. I will say this. If you say, okay, who can kill them the fatherest? The featherest. Yeah. The longest shot? It used to be Phil Robertson. Now it ain't. Nope. Jason's got that. Okay, because I've seen him kill ducks that they shouldn't have failed when they did. I've seen that too.

Okay. And I mean, this is just with, you know, you can figure it when you get a 10 gate. But he does it with just 20, your 12 gates. Because everybody else will stand up and look and then say, that little too far. And then it's boom. Out there about 150 yards. And shut off the table.

That's that one's a computer. I'll tell you a piece of junk. Who is it in your opinion? Because I mean... So number one's not Jace. If I'm flying and I got everybody that in this crew shooting at me, I don't want J.

Shooting at me. I'm just saying. None of y'all is shoot at me. That's all I'm saying. Who's number one? I can't wait to hear this. That's why I'm saying. It's hard to choose right now.

But who else is in the running for number one? So who all's in the blind, first of all? You got God of one. He's saying himself. Oh, Sire still solid as a rock. Hey, I'm still in the running. I have seen him shoot well. Okay.

So, hey. Well, hey, because I'm telling you, you know, they all say all this trash all the time, all that. Me and Stone go down south and hunt the marshes. Hey, I'm going to get mine. No, he's still solid. And you ain't down there on the end in the good spot. And I ain't, you know, I'm in the middle and they normally, they normally have got a oak tree. stacked on top of me.

If you watch our latest video. Well, all I can do is stick my gun out. You watch our latest video, Sa don't even take time to stand up no more. He's just shooting, sitting down. Si and Phil got down there on a senior citizen's in and they just sit down at you.

Look, I should have done that the other day when they had them about 15 gadwalt. Because if I would have done it, I'd have killed three for three, maybe four for three. But I stood up and then I missed once. Yeah.

So now. You know. So they would. here's the deal the man calling the shots has got oh he's got a 25% more chance of killing than you do okay because if I call it I'm gonna get three I would agree because I've got the first shot okay when somebody else is calling it that means you got to hear boom you know because you know shoot him he's already pulled his trigger oh when you hear shoot him he's done shot once.

Kind of boom. That sounds like a rude cause. You know, so hey. So are you saying you and Jace are tied for one or you're one he's too? Well, I'm just saying, hey, on a good day. Hey, as long as they. Oh, no.

Hey. I would believe that. On a good day, hey, I'm going to kill. Martin skeptical. Jason Roberts isn't going to kill. On what? On who's the better shot? No, I mean, well,

size said it on like killing ducks further. I mean, Jace is... Oh, he's the man. Jay's all around. On the long shot, he's the man. I'm saying all around best shot is Jace. Where does Martin fall in the ranking? He's a good shot.

I'm probably, about number three. He just said he missed more time. Not a great day to ask. He can't be the best. Let me tell you the difference. Most people, when they do that? I ain't going to tell nobody. Wouldn't tell us.

I'm telling you, I'll run the footage. I don't care. No, no. I was going to tell you, Jason Robertsman ain't going to ever say he missed. Guilty. Did it. Okay. Now, me, I will tell you, hey, guess what?

You got him in right. You called it. And guess what I did? I went zero for three. But in fairness, this is how hard duck outing is. Because I can tell you what happened, and this is not an excuse. Because I've done this long enough, I should have still killed three. That's right.

I spun them and spun them, and they got behind the decoys and got, to backpedaling, I should have let them land. Should just let them lit. I should have let them land. Ground swine. Not even for that, because when they were coming in, they were kind of weird backpedaling, and they kind of got in two groups. No, no.

Well, we're filming. So I got one eye on the cameraman trying to figure out which group, when they split, that he's on. And then, so I shoot where I think he's at, but then I notice he's, going the other way so then I panic and hunt and go to the other and then and by that time I lost it lost it yeah they were still 15 yards yeah I should have still killed three should have killed them yeah but I'm just telling all the things that go into it on like day five of me actually hunting I mean there's just there's a lot when you go if we just duck hunting oh I'd let them

land and we would just just rain hate on them on the water boom the boom boom boom but trying to film and get all that stuff i mean it's just tough like that's what makes film and duck hunts hard which is what we made look so easy well no all the years is that we're really good at knowing those little things about where the cameraman's looking and where the you know this that that's why he's saying it okay and then we've got film to prove it 15 come in okay and they do what they should not do they don't they come together yeah and It's bo bo bo bo bo bo bo and all 15 of them come down. Yeah.

And the guy that, you know, dad, the cameraman's dad said, y'all, y'all, you fix that. That's camera work. And the cameraman, his son said, Dad, 15 come in and they killed all 15 of them. It ain't a camera work. They know what they're doing. They kill 15 for 15.

But every now and then you get a little off, especially early in the season. Oh, yeah. Well, you get jumpy. Anybody makes a mistake and can miss. Yeah. I was just, I went the wrong way from the rip. I should have, I thought what I saw out of my right eye was something different.

I thought, I thought I did pretty good. I stood up and shot three and three ducks fell and I got kicked out for life. I'm probably the best shot. If you won't know the truth. You're three for three? Yeah. Career. Career in that blind?

Hey, it got him. Hey, in that blind, I've never missed a shot. No, no, that's what Jason always said. never been allowed to take one he said look if you can't shoot both times i went just shoot and say he didn't want everybody doing it how you just said what i'll rest of them say i was three for three boy i learned it from you side that's why look they named one of the videos hey the art of claiming ducks was that he used to always say said side just stands up yeah he's out there he said ducks falling everywhere yeah but here's the deal that okay

that they all can't deny it's okay they come up jays come in up blind one morning and said, guys, guess what? And we all said, what? He said, hey, I think we already buy them. And I said, buy what? He said, oh, they've got, they've got color-coded shotgun shells. Don't go down this road. And I said, I said, wait a minute, wait a minute, what are you talking about?

He said, oh, you can buy, you know. The shot, the shot comes out colored. Oh, yeah, yeah. The shot is colored. Then you know who shot it. No, no. I said, you know, he said, the shot is colored. I said,

I said, you don't want to go there? I said, right now we can argue about it. I said, you boys let me buy a colored shell and I said,

you're going to be, it's going to be a lot of hurt feelings in this life. There you go. We'll be back right after this. I did get Jody Dee's pictures

of their beautiful Thanksgiving spread just sitting there. Oh, no, you did? You sent them to him? Yeah.

I'm not a liar. Well, Show it to us. I want to see it. Pull it up. No, I'm not trying to defend my in-laws and my Allison's friends. They're not listening. But that's a good point.

But just for timing sake, I sent Martin a photo at 1204. No, apologies. 1203 on Thanksgiving Day. Turkey just sitting there. Oh, it's done, ready to eat. Yep. Cooling off. 1222.

Send him another picture. Oh, no. 1248. Picture number three. And the turkey's still there. And the turkey's still there. It was about 1.30. Somebody said that they need to pray over this.

Hold on. Oh, this is where it gets good. I'm not kidding. And I get it. They didn't have a double oven. So they're trying to heat up some stuff. And then the other stuff's just sitting there getting cold. But the turkey has now been sitting out for, I've witnessed it sit there for two hours.

It hadn't been carved. Well, no, at this point it has been carved. Well, it happened for an hour and a half. We ain't ate yet. And everybody's kind of standing around. I've just slammed a check. cheese ball pretty much ate the whole thing because I was starving. And somebody said,

well, we might want to pray over the food before it gets cold. And I've never been more proud. Missed it. My wife gave me the eyes and looked at me. I said she's an Owen now. She gets it. Okay. She said this, yeah, it's leftover.

So yeah, the story I told about the they've only eaten leftovers, 2023, they did it again. It's not changing. They already, hey, hey, it's bad when you eat leftovers, and you ain't ate yet. Now, you went and ate with all your family, didn't you? Yeah. Hey, so, hey, as soon as it, you know, they're carving and, hey, we're tasting it as it carving. Then they said, hey, dig in.

And guess who was first? Yours truly. I went through and, hey, got my family. Whoever kills the most ducks gets to go first in your family, right? Hey, they said, show them how to do it, sign. And I said, you got it. Hey, because everybody's waiting, always waiting now. Well, how was it?

Hey, well, hey, Phil didn't hit it on the dressing. He knew it. He knew it. He admitted it. What? Hey, now I'm like to tell Stone. Hey, bring me two woodies or two teal. Well, I can boil them and make my own dressing. Oh, no.

I got some out there in truck if you want. Hey, oh, hey, hey, what? The teal? The dressing. And woodies. No, not leftovers. I was like, it's been a while, but I can still eat the leftovers. You would love my Thanksgiving, actually, Phil.

Yeah. I'd go there second. I'd go eat somewhere and then I'd come over and hang out for two hours. I just had to look back on our conversation. It was an hour and 12 minutes from the time everything was put on the table till y'all said the prayer. That's wild. Hey, don't ever invite me to eat Thanksgiving with me because I'm going to hurt everybody's feelings. No, you can come eat Thanksgiving with me.

Just don't go with Allison. Well, I'm going to say, hey, I'm going to say, hey, look, it's all hot and it's ready. Let's eat. Everybody by the head. Oh, they'd just be looking over there, so I'm making a plate. I just be, hey, I'm back in here, I'm not, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't

rank high enough at that household. We went from grand. Be bold. Be bold. No, they just, hey, just be bold, take a head off. So, everybody, by, I fix saying, I can, I think they eat. I'm going to eat, y'all can do whatever you want to. Yeah, y'all wait, line, you know, if you get it cold.

You will be excommunicated. If you got some ducks, I'll take them. Yeah, two of them. Either way. Two are. R, R, because I'll think, go, beat some addressing. That was incredible. He just had a whole conversation and was thinking about what you had said and then went back to what you had said without taking a breath in one sentence.

Yeah, I think I got three teal, a woody, a mallard, and a gadwall. I think that's what I killed. We never breathe between those conversations. Okay. Yeah. That way, hey, you know, tomorrow I'll have me two pots of dressing. Hey, I'll freeze one. I want to come eat with you.

Yeah. Yeah. I'll freeze one. He ain't invited you yet. I'm inviting myself. He just keeps dodging you. No, no, no. He wants me to come eat.

I ain't going to let him have it but a little bit because I want it for later. That's a good point. Y'all are teaming up. He can bring Alicia too. And that way, man. Oh, so let me tell you what Alicia said on Thanksgiving Day. She said, honey, we got a problem. Oh, boy.

I was like, okay, so I'll go to the kitchen and, you know, we've got family this there and come out. What's a problem? She said I griswalled the turkey. He didn't griswold. No. Yeah. No. She puts the turkey in one of the cooking bags, you know what you're talking about?

And yeah, and she sets it for five hours, and it was supposed to be for like three and a half hours. Oh. Yeah. So she's like, hey, we got a problem. And we pull it out. Did you say save the neck for me, Clark? Yeah, and I did this with a knife. Save the neck for you.

So. Did you call Popeyes? That bad, though? No, here's what we did. We turned it over and got out the dark meat and the breast meat. and the breast meat and it was okay. But like the outside of it, like Christmas. Yeah.

Johnny D. It did like this when I cut it. Johnny D. would have been over skinning that baby. No, he'd have waited two hours and then it'd been cold. He's like, you'd keep it.

Yeah, I ain't like he in control of that. For the pictures I got, I can assure you were not at John David's house. That house has a lot of brick on the inside for some reason. It's very wild. Hey, Hey, fans, you're not as much more.

I had to go to another side of the house. the river and threw a gate to get to that house yeah they ain't they ain't on that appleby's bag at all no chance so martin what about the your boys did they have a good thanksgiving no man we what wednesday yeah wednesday night jackson decided i'm just going to pop a 102 fever so we stayed at home by ourselves for thanksgiving because we didn't want to spread the and he woke up thanksgiving morning we just snod up just plastered to his face he had to rsb again so yeah we just chilled at the house That's what kids do

keep it away from whaling and he's he's really on the comeback trail. His fever broke Friday morning about 2 a.m. and he's been getting a little better ever since. That's wow. The other one didn't catch it. I don't know how, well, this time we were way more careful on like cups and pacifiers and snacks.

We color-coded everything and made sure that there was no sharing of anything. Like, so they even bathed. separately, like let the well one bathe first and then, you know, poor Jackson got the kind of cooler bath water, but he needed it because he had a fever anyway. So it was bad. When I end up in a tub of lukewarm water with my son. You take baths? No. Well, you have to. I got in there with my swimming trunks on. It was weird. You got in with your swimming trucks on? Yeah, I'm not going to sit naked with my son. I mean, it's weird. I don't know. I can't do that. At that age is not.

weird? It was for me. Yep. So I put shorts on. Hey, I'm going to go ahead and tell you, me and my boys, it's like, hey, hop in the shower and then I get in there too. A shower is different. We get in there shower.

Boom, boom. Community shower, that's okay. But in a tub, man, I just, I, it just is weird. You get that hose thing and just spray them down. Everybody's clean within 10 minutes. Yeah, it was just, it was weird. But the only way he wouldn't like sit down and get in the water. And I was like, well, let me try getting in there with him.

So I put on some swim shorts and, And then he sat down and cooled off and broke his fever. You did good. Everything was fine. Yeah, oh, I was freezing to death after that. I was like, how is this boy just down to regular temperature? I feel like I'm bumping at about a 90. Yeah, but he was burning it up.

I felt like I'm about a 92 right now. I was just freezing to death the rest of the night. But, you know, you do. I figured out you do weird things for your kids. So that's a new one for me.
