Oh, yeah. So I didn't travel this weekend. No. No, he didn't. Well, rested. Nope. But, hey, I finally met all of the prerequisites and all the stuff you got to do. Uh-huh.

I had to go to see my heart doctor and get it cleared there. And we'd done all kind of junk in there. And even had to run the scope up in my heart again to check it, everything. And everything was cool. Yep. So finally, now Dr. Connolly has, uh, Set the date for putting new the suffer vows in my lunch. That's real, real close, too.

Oh. Oh, birthday day. Yeah. There you go. How did you take care of when y'all was gone? What, last weekend? Uh-huh. Yeah.

Yeah, I did. Yeah, he did good. No, the boy did good. Because the boy, he kind of worried me because he's down in the dumps a little bit. Godwin was down in the day? Yeah, he can't eat like he used to. Wait, what happened?

And he said he's starving to death. Which ain't true. Which ain't true. He didn't go to Mexico and get one of them bands put on, did he? His pancreas quit working out. Oh, oh. Oh, pancreas. He's got a little diabetic condition.

I got you. But, yeah, no, he did good. He, uh, the deal we were at, like, had a big bunch of cookies and everything, like snacks and the booth and all that. I think good. He didn't eat none of them. All he ate, all he ate was a ham sandwich. Bless his heart.

I tried to get him to do it with Sands bread, but he was like, no. Ham Sime. But it was only one. Right. He's been eating ham sandwiches for years. Yeah. Yeah, he's known for. He writes it on everything he signs.

Am sandwiches. He did he write that on the seats? Me and old Felipe and then Don Ashley had. BLTs. Who's for Leachy? Sunday. Oh, you? Yeah, we went out to Murray Crows, and I mean, we had our way with the field mice, the underground rats.

Oh, the rats. Oh. We had to kill them. Y'all whack them? Oh, yeah. But, hey, we got to give them a couple months to repopulate. They ain't got to give him a couple of months. We hit him about three weeks.

Well, hey, I'll pick him back. I'm going to give him a four months. So I had his pistol right here. I had a pistol. I shoot him with a pistol. And look, he got a few sound shots, and Murray got concerned. No, I don't do sounds. It was like this.

Pachak! No, yeah, but I think... Did I get him? No, I seen the limbs and the leaves jumping. Oh, he saw something that gave it away. Yeah, that's it, boys. We stacked them and waxed them. The first one I shot...

Just rats? I thought it clicked, but then when I unloaded it, nope, it shot, it just didn't make no noise. The first one, I'm serious, the first one I clicked the hammer on, it clicked and didn't make a pile. Did it shoot? Yeah, it's shot. Is that possible?

But I had to kill him with the second shot. I met him with the first one because he was running up a tree. I just, pow, pow. And then the next time, he was going out of sight when I shot, and then I seen him come falling back down. So time out. I got a lot of questions. Y'all shot rats.

Oh, yeah. Running up trees. Running up trees. Look. They went on a regulation rat hunt. No, no. I was shocked the first time we did. Okay.

This wasn't the first time? No, no. It's about, what, three weeks. You know, we did it. Hey, I'm telling you, Philip, you know, I had the gun first. That old rat commander, boys. Red commander? Hey, look.

Murray had only turned the water on halfway. So I stood there for about five minutes, and he said, no, when they come, they're going to come in bunches. You know, so one come running out, and he got away right quick. Well, you leave him way too many. Turn the water. What does the water have to do? All right, let me.

Set up the hunt for a high and outlay. Let me set it up. I'll set it up. So he's got a garden out there, and he's got a little pen. Chicken coop. A little chicken coop, and there's some trees there. And he said, guys, I've got an infestation of these rats running everywhere. He said, I'm going to put the water in the hole, turn it on.

They're eating 100 pounds of chicken feed a week. Yeah. So he said, I need some help. So when he put the water and turned it on, here they come. He didn't turn it on by halfway, but I stand there about five minutes, you know. First one got, he got me. clicked me, he got away. And I finally, I sit there and I said, hey, no, I'll hear of a kid.

You take the gun, I'm going to sit down and drink some tea. So as soon as I handed them gun and sit down, it was. Here they come. That must have been 25 reps. They're running up trees running on top of the building. He's jumping in the chicken coop, shooting up in the attic, you know. But he killed, by himself, he killed around 25 last time. Well, we didn't kill but 10.

this time and it was three of us yeah i was shooting they was both at a rifle i had a pistol i killed two and i think i killed one more he's got he got a question yeah to the student in the back there are cases of shotgun shells right here why are we not using shotgun no well look look behind me i know but look right there one two three four five no no no no no you got to shoot them with rat shot why because They're rats. Hey, because we don't want to shoot Murray's chicken coop up. Oh, that's true.

Well, sometimes you've got a sacrifice to get rid of a problem. No. Yeah. Well, we ain't trying to get rid of it, okay? You're trying to prolong it. Yeah. We want this to happen at once in a while, and I'm trying to film it, but every time I said, hey, send me a cameraman with me.

It's always something false to and they can't make it. This is fun What kind of rats are they? Hey Well, the ones we killed yesterday were big Cotton rats Oh yeah

That's like a Hispid Hisp and 16 18thage Shalong Hispid cotton rat Oh yeah You can Google that And hey look And they're fat

Oh yeah What do you Because they ain't Hey they're in a hundred pounds Of chicken for you a week That's why they can't get away Yeah They're walking on the limb

And the little limbs going Well that leads me to another question. As much as fond as you are of squirrel. I ain't tried. No, we was talking about that on the way and I said, hey, look, somebody called. Let me tell you something right now. You go kill cotton rats and clean them and eat them. I'll come video you.

Won't nothing fall through. No. I'll be your cameraman. No, I ain't going to eat them. Huh? I just, I can't make myself do it. That's what people say when they said, you eat squirrels? I said, you know, they said, tree rats.

And I said, yeah, I eat squirrels. I said, that's my favorite wild game. But I just, a rat now, that's just a story. But they're like really close cousins. Well, I know, but I just, no. And these are eating chicken feet. Yeah, but I was joking, okay, because somebody called Don Ashley while we was going toward there.

And I said, hey, tell them, don't worry about supper tonight. I'll bring a bunch of jumble I made with rats. You have a weird life, man. No, no, I have a force. Hey, what are you guys doing this weekend? Well, we got a rap problem that we could solve, but we don't want to because it's a lot of fun. Not completely. We don't want to kill them all.

Kind of smoke them out. Yeah. And then come back in three weeks ago again. We should have smoked them out. We should have smoked them out. They flood them out. Well, no, I'm trying. No, that's dangerous.

That's dangerous. Oh, whoa, whoa. You see, I tried that with the show and looked like a bunch of woods down. Because, hey, what is that? They call it the underlying, like when you're in Alaska, the permafrost stuff underneath the ground kind of. Well, hey, you've got that in Louisiana. Because I think one of my napal bombs in a beaver den trying to get rid of them. And hey, next thing I know, we had to call it a fire department to come out and put the woods out.

Good grief. Because I'm talking about, hey, two miles away, okay. Smoke starts coming up. and they said, we ain't even been over there. I said, yeah, but all this ground, all this stuff on the ground goes over there. And it burns on the ground and pops up wherever there's oxygen.

So apparently, you've got to be careful with fire. Apparently, Ms. Christine's the only one with the key to where his napalm is because he said, how dead do we want these rats? Christine, bring me the key. She said, what are y'all doing? She wouldn't give it to him.

She wouldn't get it. That's a true story. It's dangerous. I was going to add a little colorful. I don't think you have to add any color to you. Well, I know, we're going to wait to rat at sundown. That was a rat hunt. Yeah, we're going to wait at sundown, and I was going to add some color to the back.

Because they're a problem that he wants to come back. Oh, no. You don't want to ever get them all. Exterminate, no. That's right. Hey. I need to give me a couple of hostings. We have one on.

I know, but I need to have two. One on each side. That way I have two guns. I'm not, that sounds dangerous. No, I'm very safe. All right, Wyatt Ear. The whole time, oh, I am. No, he is safe.

I'll go giving that. I told him they was worried about it. I was over here, and they was over there. And I said, hey, I'm going to be shooting this way. Do you wear a cowboy hat and spurs? No. You should. No, I was, no, I quit.

When I was getting ready to go, I said, You go on a rat hunt. Do I really want to go all the way rushing on this and put my cowboy boots on? And, hey, put two guns on. Crocs, jorts. A wife baiter. Tank top with Willie Robertson's face on it. Uh-huh.

Unreal. Actually, we had hard hats. And here I am going. Here I am going all weekend for an appearance that helps pay your salary. And you're here. No, no, when I was up here, I tell you. He told me to meet him with Peter Duck Commander, so I'm sitting there waiting.

They drive up him and Dom Ashley, and look, they've got on a vest, the fluorescent vest. Hunter Orange. No, green. Oh. I thought it was energy. I thought it was energy.

I thought it was energy people. But anyway, they show up, get out, got Marty Grave junk all over them, a hard hat on, and then they gave me a hard hat when I got up to Murray and said, hey, we're going to do this right. We're going to be safe. What were y'all trying to do, be men at work?

Hey. Hey. We was trying to be a band because we was also singing. Come to a lot and done, none, duh. Unreal. Let's take a break. Yeah, I don't know where to go. We're out of here.

Y'all's weekends. A lot of fun, a lot of fun. 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 Triedale's beef makes such a good prize. Hot up, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels,

getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritale's beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales comes from a family ranch out in Texas.

They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living,

you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves 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. Oh, wow, they're not joking. Hey. Hey, sit, check this outside. What? We got out and started shooting. And Murray just got out of the way. That's right.

Murray got out of way. Tell me, these people are crazy. This is what y'all do on weekends. That's what we do on weekends. It's about what we do. Yeah. So I put his hard hat on. He said, all right, boys, I ain't going without a hard hat.

What would y'all do if y'all drank? This party time. Yeah. I see why you don't now. Hey, we have enough fun with that. That's what I'm saying. I'm scared to know what you'd do if you did. Yeah.

Well, no, all we do is feel bad the next morning when we get up with a hangover. This way, we don't have to feel bad. And they still dressed up like the village people. That's it. And went on a rat hunt. That's right. fella, question. And singing.

Did you have to purchase those glasses? No. I knew it. I knew it. You know I didn't. I knew you already had them. You already had them, boys? He's wearing a Buck Commander's scarf.

But judging by the Magellan tag still on Don's shirt, he just went and bought that shirt. Beeds. He went and bought camouflage to go shoot cotton rack. He did. So the mighty cotton rat won't see you as you flood his house. And he told his wife, you got $100 and she was like, where are you going? He said, I'm going on a rat hunt with Philip and Cy. And I got to have a license.

He was like, I got to get a license. Small game. Yeah, I got to get a license. It only opens up, you know, a few weeks out of the year. That's right. Hey, it's just two days. You boys are wild, man. Anyway.

I was up in the great state of Minnesota. Minnesota. Which I will save this, by the way. August in Minnesota is incredible. The high was like 65. It's really pretty. Really? Yeah.

Oh, the weather was incredible. I found Gobwin just sitting out on the patio of the hotel. I said, what are you doing? He said, soaking it in. That's the land of a thousand lakes. 10,000. 10,000. They're everywhere.

Try 10 times out. But I don't know, but it's in the summertime it is. It's gorgeous. Yeah, it was incredible. Swans, crane, geese, turkey, and the loon. The loon? Yeah.

I didn't see none of them. What's a loon? Huh? He's kind of a diving bird. Yeah, they end up on Caney during the winter Oh, yeah, I loon I love the sound they make What is the sound?

I don't, I can't make it Oh, you can try No, no No, that's a, that's a Sandhill Crane Oh, all right What is it? I don't, I can't make it

Just give it your best effort Come on, Sao, you said you would do it No, I can't do it You crazy as a loon anyway Well, hey, I know, but I can't make Crazy sound a Loon mate Do they make crazy sound? In the evening time, it's cool to hear

It's an interesting sound No. It's one of the... I can't even just... One thing size is correct on is hard to replicate. Yeah. That's a tough one. Oh, no.

If somebody makes... Is a man who can make most birds sounds? Yeah. I ain't got that one in my repertoire. Yeah. You don't? Mm-mm. Nope.

Guess who is that. He makes a craziest sound. The Cornell. YouTube. Oh, that's a commercial. I'm sorry. I was going to say the Cornell lab of birds does. Loon.

He does something. Yeah, I see him. Woo! That ain't it. Because see, look, yours would echo. You see how that thing don't echo? It just dies out there. Flat, yeah.

You sound like a dog that just got hit. I got shot with rat shots out of me. I heard of sound of one of them rats toting three legs as he's going on. No, they sound like this. Oh, that reminded me. PBS. Uh-oh. Yeah, baby.

Hey, no, no, PBS. What happened? Last week. What time of clock? No, no, we're in Africa. Yes. We don't left America, boy. Oh, no.

We left America and we've gone to the great continent of Africa. The Savannah. And look, and we're with the wild dogs. Uh-huh. Did you feel at home? By the way, they're getting close to being on the extinct list. Ooh. Yeah, there's not but 700 breeding pair left in the world.

That's because people have been running water down at the hills track. No, no, no, because they're clearing the land in Africa and the roads and vehicles. A lot of them die from vehicles. But anyway, it was showing. I mean, go down Thomas Road. It was showing two, okay, male and female, and the female's pregnant. Yeah. Okay.

And usually, they have to run in a big pack to survive. Well, it's just these two is all that's out there. So they have a litter of like 13 puppies. Now, dad's got to go get all the food. Mom's too busy, you know, carrying the babies and taking care of them once they was, you know, born. But she actually raised two litters. Okay. So now they got about 26. So they've got, she actually raised, they've got a pack of like, you know, 30 wild dogs. Do wild dogs? And they even tackled and killed a wildebeest.

So what's the, you got to have numbers? Do wild dogs have names? Yes, they have, oh, what it was, Jayhawk was the father's name. And then what was the, what was It's her name. Rock Chalk. Puzzles? No, preckles, preckles or something like that. Was it puzzles and jigsaw?

Oh, that's what it was. Puzzles and jigsaw. You've seen it. I looked it up. Okay. Puzzles and jigsaw. Okay. See, I didn't even,

I thought it was tough. But, hey, it was really, you know, educational watching this. What's the predator, Sire? The name of the show is dogs in the land of lions. Yeah, in the land of lions. And I was, it's got. the predators or the lions.

I got you. She lost two of her kids. To lions? Yeah, to lions. Jeez. Yeah. Take it easy. Yeah, it was a very interesting story.

It's just funny because I looked it up and it says, In the beginning, an African wild dog mother named Puzzles. Puzzles, yeah. She had had a beautiful color. It was black, black, brown, white, and kind of an orange color. Puzzles. I bet the people that named them puzzles and jigsaw ain't like sigh. Oh, no, no, no.

I bet they need more than tea. Oh, no, hey. Just saying, if you look at something, I'm going to name that puzzle. And here's something that just shocked me. Tell us. They're in the woods, okay, honey, the dogs are. And guess what they run up on? A dumpster.

No. Snakes. Long trunk. Elephant. Elephants hate wild dogs. Well, they don't like mice either. Oh, no, no, no, yeah, but I'm saying, hey. like you.

No, no. Hey, they was pushing over trees and everything else and coming after them. After the dog? No, after the dogs. Oh, yeah.

It was bad enough that the lions don't like them. But then, hey, the elephant don't like them either. Good. Great, son. You don't have a rough life. It was wild to watch,

okay? Because the elephants come running out of them and, I mean, they was trumpeting when they was doing it. You know, they were fired up. talking about. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by not watching.

Oh, no, I'm telling you, PBS has got some good stuff on. PlayStation, like a loser. I should be watching PBS. What happened to Jigsaw in the end? He can't. Yeah, he died. I think the lions killed him. Yep.

I've read the synops. Then she was on her own with both sets of pups. You know, one of them was like, you know, puppies. In other words, were half grown. Did he die defending his family? Well, no, the lions got him. That's what I'm saying. Was he protecting?

Well, he wasn't, no. But hey, she got back at him at the lions, because they had killed a wildebeest or something else. Like, no one in the wildebeest, it was some other big animal. They had killed him, the lions had two of them, and they was eating him. Well, hey, since there's about 26 of these dogs, the dogs come up and took it away from them and said, how about that? Strength and numbers, baby.

Wild dogs. That's right. Wild dogs. You may have killed me. My daddy, but I'm taking you dead. So now we're taking your feet. Now we even. Hashtag puzzles.

Get some. Hey, get revenge, baby. He said, oh, that reminds me, PBS. No, no. Oh, hey, you need to watch it. They've got some interesting goals. That's season 37 episode five. Yeah, and that's a good looking dog.

What is this? Criminal Mind? I don't know, but I'm... Season 37. I don't even know what channel PBS is. 13. I knew that. There's a 13? I thought they were all like 14 or 12.

Johnny D, you got that high definition television. No, he on a streaming bag. Oh, yeah, he's streaming. I know you got table. That's so pretty. Okay, people, this looks awesome. There is just dogs chasing and lions. Oh, no.

You've seen this? No. That's unbelievable. In the land of the lions. Dogs in the land of the lions. This is not a hashtag ad, by the way, but you should... Hey, I'm going to watch this. Hey, it was worth watching.

Let's catch a clip in our next break. We'll be back right back. Yeah, watch this. They, the only thing that is not edible that I know of in Africa is a elephant's tusk. Everything else is eaten. There is bones, all of it. There is 40 seasons of this show. Oh, no, hey, I'll tell you.

It's fine, son. There's like 500 episodes. Uh-oh, there's a hippo boy. That's another interesting creature. That's a brand new episode. The river monster. Hi, hippo king. The river monster.

Have you seen it? There's more people killed by the hippoles than anything else in Africa. Hippos killed more people. Mosquito. How fast can they run, Zah? Yeah, I think the mosquito's the top, isn't it? 40. Oh, look at this.

Oh, yeah. I like the way their teeth covered up. there's giant tusk and their mouth covers them up i'm going to have to watch that one that one looks cooler than dolls we've got to find somebody to let sigh narrate one of those shows dear PBS or anybody that may listen here and work there oh no hey consider it like a taxpayer's money a public broadcast i think we can vote sigh in you got to understand something during the monsoon seasons and the uh

Yeah. Serengetty. Yeah. You got to understand that, Martin. Hey. No, no. Hey. The Serengety prairie rise up.

That's the prairie. Okay. Then the monsoon is floods. Okay. And look, they've actually, the hippos actually have highways under water in the rivers. How would you know that without PBS? Hey, because it showed it. Thank you.

It shows them, hey, it shows them they're underwater and showing these hippos running down the highways underwater. Underwater. Their headquarters are in Virginia. Road trip. We just knock on the door, and we don't take no for an answer. We can go to the water zoo that Sal always talks about in Virginia. A water zoo. They'll make me a water zoo, boy, put all the water zoo specialists.

Hippos and crocodiles and the snakes. That's just a regular zoo. Oh, no, that ain't regular. You got crocodiles, hippos, and what, anacondas? Antacons. Wait, are you? So is in a water zoo? Are they all in the same enclosure?

Oh, yeah, we're going to put them all together. We're just going to save them. Survival of the fittest, boy. That's not. Then find out who's the baddest in town, baby. We're going to put Darwinism to the test. That's not. We're going to say who that's the baddest in town.

Oh, my goodness. What is that guy's a song? Bad, bad Leroy Brown. We're going to find out of Leroy Brown as bad as he thinks he is. Probably ain't as bad as Jigsaw. No. No. Jigsaw.

To be fair, Puzzles. batter. Oh, is puzzle? Puzzles, Jigsaw. Oh, Jigsaw got got. Oh, I thought Puzzles was the one that got got. No, it was Jigsaw. Sadly, Jigsaw got got got.

But Puzzles had 26 kids to run the show. And they named him Wopsaw. Yeah, well, that Wopsaw could have last one. He'd have made it. Or Ripsaw. Yeah. Ripsaw, baby. You don't want to get caught in a Wopsaw.

Ripsaw. Don't get caught in Wopsaw, boys. Yeah, that's a bad deal. Right now, Nature Cat is on. Oh, that's a child. Man. That's a good one too because they got a special cat. He fishes.

Most cats hate water. What? But this one don't because he's a fish. Coming on at seven. He's a fish-catching cat. This is a cartoon? Oh, no, there ain't no cartoon. This is for real.

I'm just looking at this. It shows him slipping in water, and then he does like the fox does catching mice. He jumps straight up in the air and comes down. he does I was just looking up PBS's schedule. I didn't know what,

I don't know it. What time does this come on? I watch it at night sometimes. Yeah, but it ain't early. Yeah. It ain't early. Tomorrow night's,

I want to say Wednesday, no, hold it. Sometimes it's Wednesday. Sometimes it's. I get PBS and Father Brown on the,

they're on the same channel. Father Brown is BBC or BBC or BBC. The BBC. Yeah. The BBC. The British. Now you're watching the Britain? Yeah. Yeah. They've got Father Brown. That's where Planet Earth lives.

Yes. On BBC. Yes. Nature. And Father Brown. Nature. Father Brown is a good. And Doctor Who? It's a good drama show. Usually there's a murder and then the father has to figure it out. The good preacher figures it out.

And a preacher figure. Is he a preacher? Yeah. Oh. He's a Roman Catholic priest. Okay. He's cool. And he's sharp.

Hey, cool. And I was so excited to tell you all about the trick I learned if you're marketing dog food. What is it? Well, what is it? No, nothing now. It seems lame after all this. What if you marketed it to wild dogs? I said, we may get it to wild dogs.

Well, that's essentially what we did because we were giving out sample bags with our buddies at Victor. And one of the sales reps every now and then would go out there. because it's outside in the grass, and you can't really see it in the grass, and he'd just open one of them bags and chum the area. So the people walking by with their dogs, their dogs would stop. Well, then they'd stop.

Well, then you had a chance to tell them about your dog food. Pretty good. Oh, yeah. I said, this like deer hunting. That's pretty good salesmanship, buddy. Hey. That's what I'm calling about. But I just got way laid by wild dogs named Puzzles and Jigsaw,

and my mind is essentially blown. That boy was using his noodle, boy. Yeah, yeah. Using something other than a hat, right? Do you know what the best marketing trick I ever heard was? Wow, this ought to be good. This is pretty good. Or sales trick.

I was talking to a car salesman, and he would give you a free ice cream if you looked at a car, like a whole pint. That way you have to go home after, and you can't go to another car store. He's like, once you get free ice cream, you got to go home and put it in a freezer. And when you're car shopping, you go into each and every one.

So he's like, oh, yeah, well, we're going to continue shopping. Well, hey, take some ice cream on me, and then you're like, knock the competition out. We got to go home. We got to stop here. Yeah, you got a decision to make. Either go home or eat it there. Nobody's saying no to the ice cream. Nope, no spoons.

No spoons. That's a good point. That's the most brilliant thing I've ever heard. I said, wow. So here. Here's an alert for you. Uh-oh. Next time you go car shop and take a spoon with you.

Take a spoon with you. You can eat it in the parking lot. That way you can say, okay, thanks for the ice cream and then go right across the street. And eat your ice cream in the other pocket lot. We're going to have Gobin shop online. Ham Samuts. He can't do that. Gobel can't eat the short.

Nope, that's it. He's out. No. No ice cream. Too much sugar. I made a milkshake the other night. It was silly. Oh, was it good?

Yeah. Oh, made? Oh, good. I put. Do you put any fresh strawberries or fresh fruit in? Yeah, I put some fresh Snickers bars in it. Oh, good. Fresh Snickers box.

That is good. You're making one of them junk things. Oh, yeah. No, it wasn't good for you. Kind of like a strawberry. milkshake. Hey, you're playing Sonic. Hold on. Just because you put fruit in something

doesn't make it healthy. Oh, yes, it does. Hey, did I say anything about health? Okay, I'm just, you called mine junk. You make it junk. Messing up a good milkshake, putting a Snickers bar in it. So first off, I put mini Snickers bar.

Many Snickers bar. M-A-N-I-N-I or M-I-N-I-N-I. M-A-N-Y-N-M-I. Oh, many-M-M-Y. He's not. Hey, he got a bag and used the whole bag. No, well, we don't really, like, my wife doesn't let our kids eat a lot of candy. And, you know, if you look at...

So you make them a malt that's got 19 chocolate bars in it. Sir, they did not participate in this. This was after that time. This was mom and dad time. So I started looking around, and I find all this candy for my... This was just before canoodling. Christmas and Halloween. I'm like, we don't eat this, junk.

Why do we have so much of it? And then I was like, but I just found a lot of Snickers, and I know where some ice cream is. And I know where a half gallon of vanilla ice cream is. You know what else? I know where the ninja is. I thought I was going to wake up all the kids. It was loud. When you chop up about 10 Snickers bars, it gets wild in the blender.

Did you give her a spoon to eat it with? Who? Your wife? She had her own cup. She's got to stay right there, don't she? Yeah. That ain't know. That ain't time for share it.

There. Get you on. I like milkshakes, though. I forgot about them. Yeah, they're good. So I got that new cup. He's been proud of it. Look, there's his old one beside him.

Just in case. It's probably still got a little tea. Where are the tuba wares? Oh, he's got them, he got them hid in a safety box. Yeah, they'd have to house. One day we're going to put some things on eBay and be moved. Well, they're too hot. It's too hot.

It won't hold ice long. Won't hold ice. Nope. This will hold ice all day. That actually holds ice longer. Oh, it'll take it all day long. Wildly stronger. And while he's stronger.

Can we say that? Worst commercial I over from. It was so bad. It was just like that guy with his dog food, pouring dog food out. Ladies and gentlemen, there's a Yetty commercial from how long, it was 10 years old now? Older than that. Older than 2012? If a grizzly bear can't get into it, that's a good.

I bet it was 2010. And basically the duck men all stood there and in unison said, Wildly stronger. No, attempted in unison. Keeps ice longer. It took us like, 45 minutes to get anything closed. The last one, I just millie-vinilly. You just let's think of it?

Yeah, I wasn't going to say it. Like, it was obvious we couldn't all talk at the same time. Wildly stronger. Keeps ice longer. Hey, standing by the boat shed. I like the grizzly bear slapping on rail. I ain't watched outdoor TV in a long time. That was the best part having a big grizzly bear slap it.

I always did wonder why we needed them to be grizzly proof. For out west. That's a good point. When you go out. They wouldn't design for toting domestic light beer around. I mean, that's what they do now. That's it. That's it.

I found it. That's it. Yet it could. While they're stronger. Keeps ice longer. There it is, boy. What it is, baby. That's it.

Hey, worst commercial ever. Hey, we were in harmony. Yeah, you were. We weren't. You could hear everybody. I was harmonizing good. Wildly stronger. Wow.

That was like Hunter edited that audio. Oh. Look at him. He's looking at me over there. He's doing a good job. Hey, I told him for years. That was just to make sure he was awake over there. I said, you need to use one of these jetty cups.

He wouldn't do it. No, he wasn't going to do it. Nope. Wouldn't do it. I don't know why. What turned him on to that one? Is that commercial? It was that commercial he was on.

He was like, They finally brought me one of a stupid thing. Don't even. Wait, is that how long? No, don't even. Si, it took that long to get one? Hey, it took that long for them to give me one. No, that's a lie.

You know it. I offered, no. We're going to break. I ain't going to let him sit here in this bald face lie to people. We'll be right back after this. But it took forever for Phil to say Yeti. Yati. Yati. It's Yati cooler.

And Phil, look, here's Phil, typical Redneck. He's worried that the cooler is going to leave while we're filming the commercial. So he signs it. It's going to leave. I'm like, Phil, this company is paying us money to endorse their product. They're leaving the cooler. No, no, I need one of them. Phil took a black Sharpie and signed a white Yeti cooler.

just so it wouldn't leave. I'm like, Phil, they will, one thing Yeti has never had a problem with for us is sending product. Yeah, it's giving those crop products. Most of the time, I'm like, stop. According to Zai, he can be a cut for a decade. And that's just a ball face lie. That's fine. That is what it is.

He's side riding it in the ground. Well, running. Running. Run him in a line. I realize, though, for his own personal sake, it was better to keep toting that green Tupperware cup. he went to a school of personal branding that worked so you know but now he's on to the he's on to the highlight but he also doesn't have an ice machine at his disposal every time like he had back then back then he just said hey i'm out of ice and they bring him a cup of ice shake it

when the man got to go fetch his own ice he gets something to keep ice so yeah because when he says the days of being hand and foot over yeah ain't nobody bringing me bags of cheese that's no more. No. None of that's happening. And there ain't no caterer up here making every meat taste the same. That's right.

How soon they forget. The golden goose is lady of last egg. Now we're selling dog food in Minnesota and shooting rats on the weekend. Well, hang. Wouldn't have it any other way, baby. Life is grand. It's the American dream.

That's right. I'm living in an American dream. Well, I don't even know where we go from here, gang. This has been one of my favorite episodes ever. You had said there was good stuff from the fans. I got a lot of emails. You want to jump into that early? Jump into that mailbox.

Roll it. And here we go. All right. Roll with the fan. Anytime I see one. We got an update. Uh-oh. Good.

Do you have an update. Natalie from North Carolina, whose husband just kept on fixing that refrigerator. Yep. She bought him a new one. We got her a new fridge, boys. Oh, we got her new fridge. You're welcome, Natalie and husband. Good for her.

Yeah, she played him the podcast, and then he was like, fine. All right, I get too. Okay. Somebody gets Samsung on the phone. That's what I'm talking about. Look at us. We're changing lives. And then, Martin, just for you, you love a good trail cam pick.

I do. What do we get? I don't know. Two bucks. But that one's tiny. Yeah. They said it's a dwarf deer. Because the guy that said, so apparently there's an Uncle Si involved in this,

and he said that deer's been the same size for three years. Is that a road deer, Cy? Is that a dwarf deer, Martin? They need your help. I don't understand that. No, I hear the road deer don't get very big at all. No, but those are white tail. Those are 100% white tail.

I don't know. They may be brothers and big brother ain't letting little brother eat, does it? I don't know. That looks like a genetic abnormality to me. That's Jacob from Wentworth. North Carolina. The biology said, hey, genetics. But speaking of brothers, we went and saw the two little Martins this morning.

They're doing fine. Them old Martin boys. And they grow in. Got a pair of three-pounders. We're working on a bag. Hey, three pounds. We're about to drop 15 on them. He's got two pair right now, but he's working on a four-house.

That's funny. Three-pounders. Three-pounders. A pair of three-pounders. We only got what? Two months left? Not even. Not even to

They're measuring about two weeks A head of schedule Week and a half Well, they are them old Martin boys They big And Martin boys The Martin boys ain't known to be Just like three pounds

And you got what Two more months Not quite Yeah Not quite Yeah They're gonna go around About six something

They mom are probably gonna try to evict them About five If I had to guess Go on get I think Brittany's joy of pregnancy Is officially over I bet Over.

O-V. So she's done with it? Yeah, she's over it. Oh, I like one. I hadn't seen her a minute. No, I better. She pregnant? Big.

I was going to say something about somebody else, but I'm not going to do. Well, she got two, three-pound babies. Yeah. That's like a regular six-pound baby. And generally, they're getting ready. My wife ain't never had a six-pound baby. I'm about say generally they're getting ready to cave about that point. Uh-huh.

But no, she just, here we are. Oof, bigans. Prayin for you, Martin. I appreciate it. You ain't kidding. Pray for my contractor and by extension me that this house gets done. Amen to that. Wow.

Well, there's your update on Demo, Marden Boy. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Well, seeing them made me think of that. It was funny because one of them's like three, three and the other one's like three even. What they said. So one on top bigger than the one on bottom. I'm like, you poor fellow.

Did you start this house remodel before y'all found out about the pregnancy? No, very soon thereafter. whenever we realized that that house shopping was out of the equation. That they had one sneaky. Lesson learned, boys. They got one of them that plays good hide and seek. Late bloomer, whatever he won't call him. He keeps pulling his brother in front.

He's after his mama. He's a hide and seek specialist. Buc beds. All right. I think that the truth. Bunk beds are awesome. They are. We got some.

All right. Anyway, Micah from Rossville, Georgia. sober by Chattanooga he says he listens on Spotify he loves the podcast and he makes his own salsa called Fat Boys Salsa

and he said if we answer his advice he'll send us some salsa That's the fat boys I know I don't know what that meant But all right I expect salsa now Micah

I have no idea what we're talking about I just know Johnny D's reading this For free salsa and it cracks me up No it's a good it's a good question I've read one for cookies, so don't hear me griper. Well, I'm a fix-stay. Salsa's good stuff. I like salsa.

Ship it. Ship it. Ship it. I was curious if you guys would be interested in trying some. What? Yeah. I am. All right.

Anyway, here's the reason he's emailing, besides the salsa, is he needs some life advice. He just turned 29, and he thought by now that he'd found a woman that is worth marrying or the woman that God made for me. I feel I'm cursed because every time I've tried dating, it never works out. and I'd like to hear your input. Also, as much as we all love Sa, Martin is by far my favorite on the podcast.

Right. And he makes salsa. Hey, that's all I'm with me, baby. Now, let's go. And if it's called Fat Boy Salsa, I'm guessing we got something else in common. Nobody's heard of the Fat Boys. They used to rap music back in the 80s.

I mean, y'all are too young. I was born in 89, man. That's the Fat Boys. That's the Fat Boys' Rep. I don't know. All I know is Salsa. All right. Martin, you're his favorite, so tell them what to do.

What age should you get married? 29. 29? I was about to say, I didn't get married until I was 29, so. But I wouldn't ever worried about finding the one. That just kind of happened. Like, I just live in my life, and we basically found each other. It's not like we were actively searching out anything.

My question to you is, you said it, you're dating never works out. Where are you meeting them is going to be? Yeah. Where are you meeting these women? I guarantee you, if you sit up and stand on the side of the road that's free salsa, they're going to meet some good women, yeah. I mean, look at all of them at a Mexican restaurant. I love Mexican.

And what do they all do? They eat chips and saucing. Now, you partner with our buddies over at Arbo's and had that fire cheese dip, then they ain't no telling. And if you find somebody making margaritas, you're about to have a time. That's a party. You're going to find you one in. Hold on.

That leads to a shotgun wedding. We don't want that. Oh, boy. Why not? I like that. Why not hot and spicy, baby? No, I don't, I mean, other than maybe look somewhere different, you know, I don't really, I don't, we need more. What are the catastrophic things that are happening?

That's right. Well, he hasn't said anything catastrophic. Well, or whatever. What do you say? He's just searching. He's just sitting working out and he likes some encouragement. Well, you know, you might have to pick up a few of your techniques. Where are you going?

When are you going? How often are you going? You know, what's he put into it so far? Yeah. And being single isn't a bad thing. No. No, it's not a bad thing. Married is not for everybody.

I was single for six weeks when all my family was gone. It cost me a bunch of money. I don't, what? I didn't think I'd ever get married because I thought I was a player. Oh, boy. Oh, God. Hey, I'm just saying. And then he found you a wild redhead at Zend or Matt Stallion, son.

Hot and spicy, baby. And her words were anybody but him. That's right. And there they are. 50-something years later. I always thought it was a jacket, but hey, no, it was the strut. No, I would just say keep trying, man. It'll happen.

Go. Yeah. And while you're single, you got way more time on your hands. And money. And money than a lot of people. Yeah, because your money's going to leave. When the woman shows up. Yep, yep.

Trust me what I'll tell you that. When the woman shows up and hangs around, your money's leaving. I'm not trying to say exactly that. I'm just saying use this time, you know, hunt, fish. Yeah, do whatever. Study the Bible. Like, you, I got a single buddy who's a little older than me, and that dude one time told me, he's like, you know, I got the gift of singleness.

I don't want it. Yeah. But God gave it to me, so I use it. Treat yourself. And he lives a pretty good life. He can tell you the Bible, frontwards, backwards, sideways, and all around, because he's got more time than other people. And could go to Missoula, Montana.

of tomorrow if he wanted to. If he wants to, he got him. So, use it for what it is. Take advantage of it. Do whatever's on your list of things to do because that list slows down once you get married. Not that my woman keeps me from doing anything because she doesn't. Mine doesn't either. But I make sacrifices to spend more time at home and stuff like that with her because I want to be there.

She's my wife and we're married and, you know, so it's none of that stuff. It's just wait until them old Martin boys show up. Yeah, I'm going to be on lockdown. M.O. Martin boys. Well, let's take another break. We'll be back right after. Since we jump back in to the emails a little early, we're going to drop it here.

Hello at duck callroom.com is the email address. Email. Johnny D., what else is in there? This one's just a good story. No advice, no questions asked. Cooper. He doesn't say where he's from. Coupe.

Cooper. Coop's preaching somewhere. That's all I know. So growing up, his dad dealt with a lot of addiction. alcohol abuse this dude had a tough childhood didn't want to be part of it cried himself to sleep a lot

but he had a dream to become pastor someday and his dad always told him that was a terrible career choice so a pretty rough start to the story here's the good part at the end so at the age of 18 he left and never talked to his dad again until three weeks ago

his dad had been watching him preach online that's what's up yep and his dad called and said he was sorry for all that he'd done shows up and wanted to get baptized oh my goodness so awesome story wow his dad was the prodigal father yeah yeah so this dude goes becomes a priest that there you go and i don't think god has called you sir to speak to truth yeah there it is okay and it hey it actually saved your father yep that's what's up that's awesome coo yeah cooper that's great that's a good story That's just so cool because he's just preaching, doing his job.

And, you know, he has regrets from the past probably, probably wondering what his dad's doing. His dad's been watching. Kudos to you, my man. That's cool. You know, one thing I want to tell Cooper is what makes you valuable is not what's happened in your life, but who you follow. So God has made you valuable.

And needs that you couldn't get met back then, your father in heaven has met those needs. dad saw that and he and he could see it oh yeah he said i want that i want what my son has that's what's up oh no that was a good one i had to share that one that's for real hey this made my day dude this made my day there ain't enough snow where he's like it yeah uh-uh yeah that's awesome cool probably should have ended with that one but we'll try edit edit hunter um flip it in reverse Let me see. Okay, here's a good one.

We're going to stay. We're going to stay on, you know, what we all love and believe. Shemaya, I think that's how you say it, from Alabama. She started listening to podcasts. She thought the podcast would just be lots of fun and laughter, but she never thought we'd sneak in here at the end and have a good impact on her life. So she went to church a lot growing up, but at that age she didn't really understand it or what she was being told.

And then she got older and just, recently she's decided she wants to get closer with God because she's going going through a lot she wants to be a better person that's great so at one point we gave advice on how to start reading your bible and uncle size started with Matthew so she downloads the Bible app puts air pods in starts listening and she stopped at Matthew chapter 8 because she started feeling really bad having anxiety she's ashamed and embarrassed of her sins how do i continue to read the Bible without getting discouraged thinking, I want to be forgiven by God. She's made a lot of mistakes, but she feels like she's a good person.

So the trick is, you got to keep reading because the good stuff's coming. Right. You know, Shemaiah, faith comes through hearing the message about Christ. And Siah's right. You can start in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Those are the Gospels about Jesus, about God becoming flesh and becoming our sacrifice to pay for the sins that we all have. humanity all has these sins.

And so he paid for it, and then he resurrected from the dead, and he's mediating that the father read Hebrews at his right hand, forgiving us constantly when we blow it. So that's how we can go on. That's what gives us hope and gives us strength to move forward. Yeah. Baby, Jesus understands the Bible tells us that, hey, he was tempted in every way we are.

Yep. Except with one thing. He never failed. No sin. But darling, trust me when I tell you, okay, because I'm saying all the time I'm looking up and telling him, Lord, it's me again. And guess what? I blew it again. You just got to keep your eyes focused on Jesus.

Okay, he knows, darling. He knows you feel bad about it. Okay. Just give it to him. Let him handle it. Make it his problem. And that's how you know how it's work. Because before you're made aware of that, sin isn't shameful.

A lot of times we call sin fun, right? Oh man, we had fun last time. Yeah, that's the evil one line. Yeah. So the fact that you're now ashamed, embarrassed is a totally natural reaction to being exposed to what you were doing wrong. There's nothing, there's nothing wrong with that. That means your heart is transforming into what it should be. So like, keep going, girl.

keep doing keep doing anything keep reading keep loving guess what you're still going to screw up yeah guess what it's okay

he paid for it that's the reason he came yeah that's exactly right but I think the feelings that you're feeling are a positive sign of change in your life so I would say keep rolling

it's a good that means the Holy Spirit is pricked your heart baby okay and that's a good thing And there's also a way, you know, the Bible says that when you confess your sins one to another, that God forgives us and heals us from all sin. Look at First John. Ooh, that's a good one.

There you go. Yeah, I would just say that's, you're, you know, you feel, feeling bad is totally normal, like Martin said. And the beauty of it is when you keep reading and you get to the point of, you know, Everything you feel bad about has been paid for. Wow. 100%. And he ain't, God's forgiving you. It's not, he doesn't look at you as your sin.

Right. He looks at you as his daughter. So in that, you get to say, yeah, I've messed up, but that's not who I am. I'm a child of the king. Right. So while you do feel shame and, hey, I've been there. Like, I've struggled with stuff and I didn't want anybody to know because it's like, they're going to judge me, but God's not judging you.

God's already forgiven you. And human beings might judge you. And that's their problem. You'll find that part in there too that they need to go read. You'll run across that there. They cover that well in there. Oh, that's good stuff. Yeah, well, let's roll.

All right, I got you one. I got one just for this little verse here. Cooper, thank you so much for your email. Thank for everybody listening to email and in. Second Corinthians 12 verse 9, but he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me. Whatever you're ashamed of, God will take care of it. And then he can use that story of what you went through to show how powerful he is. Just remember that going into this week. Wow. Jay W.

Or J.D. Did you just call me J.D.? Yeah, I had one of my uncles on my mind. Hey, flower, doctor general, sent me some flowers. Take them to your lovely wife there, sir. You brought me flowers? Oh, take them to my wife? Take them to your wife.

Deal. Sy just spreading good joy, son. That's it, boy. There you go. All right, we'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
