D. D. D. You look perplexed over there to start today. Are we going? Oh, hey, everybody. Welcome to the duck call room. I was reading an email from New Zealand. New Zealand? Oh. We got fans in New Zealand. Are they around the pristine waters? Are they around the pristine water?

I just need to know. They live in Christchurch, New Zealand. Oh, I saw that on Shark Week. Shark Week. Yeah, some old boy that was a shark guy, like, had a stroke or something out there while they was filming sharks. and they had to take him to Christchurch, New Zealand, to the hospital. I've never been to it. And I thought it was a very interesting name for a town.

Yeah. Christchurch. I like it. Yeah. And now where you go to church? Yeah, my church is named Christchurcher. Yeah, but yours is two words. There's just one.

Christchurch. Yeah. That's how they have to say it. Yeah. Have you ever been to New Zealand? Phil went though. Phil went. Yeah, we had Duckmen, New Zealand.

That's right. Duckman, New Zealand. I remember watching that video. I actually filled a whole pickup bed. Nevel just filled a big. bulging at the time. What Phil say? He said, hey, lead shot, piles of corn.

It's the law of the land down here. Might as well enjoy it. Maybe I like it. I like it. He said, I may have to move here. I thought the limit was like 50 or something like that. Oh yeah, it was. That's self-imposed too.

Like they have no limit because they're not native there. You can shoot them by moonlight. How do ducks get there? I like it. You can put corn out. You can shoot them by moonlight. Hey. Because they ain't magnate.

Humans. Took them down there. They took them down there and then they just went wild. Yeah, they ain't got no predators. No predators. No predators. There's no eagles or snakes? Nope.

Nope. That's why all that stuff thrives down there. Yeah. Like the red stag and the tall. I learned so much. And the, what's the one with a pommended. Yeah, red stag. Salo deer.

Oh, fallow deer. Yeah. Yeah, they all thrived. Yeah, they got monstrous red staggs and monstrous fallow. Because the whole island is a thicket. That's it, boys. Hey, and no predators. If ever once in a while, the man goes over and shoots one of them.

Phil shot that stag out of the helicopter or whatever he did. And the guy told him, said, hey, mate, don't be shooting holes in my chopper. Because there was some in the floor. What? Yeah, he boy gets excited and shoot a chopper up. Can't be doing that. A bunch of dummies. Punch it.

There's my experience with New Zealand, but it is weird with Shark Week and Christy. I'd never heard of it until this week. I got an email. Well, thanks for the email, Jack. I got an email from a guy, New Zealand the other day. Did you? Duk calls? He was asking about a brown sugar duck call.

Brown sugar. Oh, brown sugar. That was a sweet one. That was a sweet one, boy, brown sugar. But he works for Swarovsky, and he lives in New Zealand. We may ought to find one for him. Yeah. We make it get on a, we make it.

I got one somewhere. We make it. We may get on a favor trading, so to speak. Yeah. A little trade. I'll be, I'll volunteer to it going on that little trip. We're going on a trip now? Yeah.

Oh, I was just talking about. Pristine water to New Zealand, buddy. I was just talking about some glass. I didn't, I wasn't talking about a vacation, but I feel like. We might as well make it into a vacation. New Zealand too far, man. No, I'd go. Not for a giant red stagging ain't too far.

Man, that's a long ways down there. I ain't got that bridge finished yet either. The bridge? Where's the bridge going? Yeah, right. They're going to have to work a few more years on the bridge. Trust me, what I tell you. I'll tell you this, I heard a very entertaining story

the other day from a woman who dropped off Willie's deer stands. What? Willie got new deer stands? Yeah, this woman that a nice lady drives big truck for redneck air lines. And got about... She delivered... 12 big stand. And she delivered a couple of nice redneck deer blines down in fields for Willie.

But then she says, hey, my dad used to be in the Army with Uncle Sy. Oh, boy. I said, really? Wait, what? Buckle up. Yeah. I said, is that right? She said, yeah.

She said, he told me this funny story where he paid him $10, that he was supposed to pay him $10 to help to clean up his yard and pick up sticks. but he never did anything so he didn't give him the $10. Is this true? What, you hired him? No. You hired him or you were the worker? Well, I don't know. This guy hired Sye supposedly.

And Sye never showed up. He was not pleased with Sye's effort. Yeah, he didn't pay me. So he didn't give him the $10 because Sye didn't do what he said he was going to do. Well, did you, Sire? Yeah, I picked up a few sticks. What more do you want? How am I going to agree with it on how many?

Then he took a nap. He said I picked up, define a few. That's right. Do you remember this? Do you remember this? No. I remember the guy. His name was Wallace.

He was a big farm boy type guy. Big dude. You know, blonde hair. It's my recollection But with all that, you know it is Since y'all had Mr. Christine fact-checking me here, boys That's why I told you I wouldn't just, there's no good

No good Her dad sent her with a $10 bill To give to sign? To give the sign because he felt bad And hey, she didn't give it to me You didn't do your job again She didn't give me a $10. Man sent me his money

And then just to get still didn't get it I mean how small is this world Do a lady delivering deer stand Oh, yeah. For our buddy, Danny Little, her father served in the army with Sigh. It's little than you think. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

It's almost like it's flat. Oh, yeah. Pump, pump. That was like this weekend I was bored. Going flip it through the channel. Oh, boy. I thought you were supposed to meet the Pioneer woman this weekend. Yeah.

Oh, wait. We didn't meet. She wasn't there. Shocker. Although y'all had it arranged and y'all were going to send me a photo. Phil FaceTimes me. It's like, hey, I got the Pioneer woman. It's just feeling as well.

But here's what I did do. I've met her. Cody at Ben Johnson's museum. Yep. I hadn't got it right now. They've got to put it in the mail. I do have a buffalo coat. Oh, praise them.

Uh-oh. Do you really? It's on the way? No, no. Yeah, it's on the way. Are you going to wear that during the hunting season? Hey, it's going to have to get, it's good to 20 below. It don't get that.

Or for Si, 45. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, look. I tried this thing on, and it like to took me to the floor. Well, yeah, it used to go on a buffalo. Hey, you saw me heavy. Yeah. You know, and this is the summertime, and I said, I had it on.

I said, yeah, guys. Is that it? Is that it? That's it. Good. It looks like that. It looks just like it. Was it $4,600 like the one I just found?

Look, we thought it was just, you know, wasn't much to it. But we started Googling and see what they cost. Like you were talking about, Phillips said, hey, this one here's $4,600. I'm a good, creep. And it's a workout. I said, the only thing I know is, hey, take this thing off because I'm fixing a faint. I'm burning up. But looking at it, it looks like you could hide your little oxygen backpack under it.

Oh, no, hey, yeah. I mean, look like a plenty of room. Oh, I put a whole buffalo under it. Hey, that's okay. But it took me to the grain. down. Saigon looked like he got a saddle on with that little hump on. And I told him, I said, I don't know if I'm going to be able to wear this.

And, you know, I couldn't believe the weight. It was a buffalo. Well, no, I know, but, hey, good grief. You know, and look, it was the buttons were antlers off of something. So this was, hey, this was all handmade. And you're going to wear it on the podcast, right? Well, it gets coke. You know, y'all have to turn it and get it where it's like we can hang meat.

y'all may have to make this turn this room into a nice house then i'll come in and work well then what am i going to do you're going to freeze your butt off it ain't going to do you're going to freeze your butt off as what's great freeze i ain't going to do no good if you didn't buy us three more well hey i couldn't afford to buy them oh here we that that's i don't even we got to take a break what hey before we do i got bored so i was flipping through the channel and guess what i found another episode of the Green Planet. Oh, what was this one? We'll talk about this episode.

We'll come back because it was very interesting. 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 product, baby.

Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson would say, bye on the grill! Look, before we got Triedails, getting ready to, 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 Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need.

Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat either, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash.

That's trybeef.com slash. support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. You think the desert hadn't got nothing out there. Oh, here we were just all into it. Wrong answer. Wait, you watched the desert episode? Yeah, this was the desert episode of the green planet. Well, wouldn't that be the brown planet?

No, it would be the great planet. Great. Because everything in the desert is great, sand. But what's interesting, you think there's no thing out there? No thing out there. They've got the most amazing. plants. Okay.

Especially most of them are cacti. All kind of different cacti. Back on them plants, y'all. Oh, no, no. Look, and birds use them. Rattlesnake use them. The little guy, I can't think of name it now.

But he's a mouse. But it was a specific mouse. He uses them because when they fall off, they got one that looks like a bull nettle. It looks like a bull nettle. It looks like a bull nettle. but multiply it 100,000 times with the spiny junk on it.

When they fall off, they hit the ground. Well, guess what? The field mouse come up there, grab it, and they put it around. They grab it where it fell off because everywhere else it's got, you know, spikes. Spikes. So they grab it where it broke off the flower. Okay. They pick it by that, and then they take it, and they surround their nest with them

where the rattlesnakes can't go through them. Which is pretty cool. They make a fence out of these stupid cacti. My goal for you one day is for you to narrate that. Oh, no, no, no. Look, it was so interesting. Really, I'm serious. Because it just showed them.

They got the big ones, the barrel cactus. And they're the ones that hog all the water. Oh, yeah, they're a barrel. Yeah. And they're made for that when it rains. I found it. I found PBS. Yeah. When it rains, okay, just cactus.

By the spikes, where the spikes are coming up, because they're all all just solid a spike. Everywhere there's a spike, there's like a receptaker to catch the water. Hold on. What is there? Receptical. Receptical. Yeah, like a bucket. He kind of combined receptacle and sepulker, but. It's like a bucket on every spike.

You watch the whole, like, hour. I'm watching it. This is an hour on cactus? Oh, yeah. No, cacti. Cacti. That's more than a little. one cactus.

Look, there's thousands of these things. Okay. I love this man. No, no. This is a crazy, look, it showed a bird pooping. Okay, the poop falls and then some kind of seeds in it, okay, that the bird ate. Then it attacked the cacti. The seed did?

Yeah. Yeah, it's like a, it's like a worm comes out of the stupid seed. And it waits till nighttime because the... When the cactus is asleep. The cat guy opens the pores. No, they open the pores to receive the moisture. Well, then, hey, he comes in, and then a big flower of whatever the seed was takes over.

It's the wildest thing you want to look. It's beautiful, okay, because it flourishes out, flowers out, and here comes the birds, the bees, and all the insects. Do you mind if I put a camera in your house at night? Oh, no, no. Look, this is. I'll leave it in the living room. I ain't trying to get in your bedroom.

No, no, no. But, hey, here's what God. me watching this and then I asked you when I'm talking to people about God and they can't see him when you watch a show like this and the intricacy of all this stuff working there has to be

a supreme being had to be a creator a designer if you will design that kind of stuff to make it work for crying out loud nothing goes to waste not even bird poop hey not even bird poop

everything is recycled and usable and hey and it works you know to precision I'm still trying to figure out how a worm come out of a seat and then attacked yeah and then turned into a flower I think his use of the term worm

may be a little here it is this it is that him side yeah it showed it he's red and then the flowers when the flowers bust out of this cacta they're red. So they have a very...

See, and then the birds start their business. Oh, it's the wildest thing you ever want to see in your life. And that's a humming bird, managing. I've been fast-forwarding through this episode. He has not missed a moment of it. Oh, no, no, no. When did you watch it this morning? No.

What's the day? Thursday? Wednesday night. Wednesday night, last night. I was bored last night. And he got to flip it to the channels and hey, bam, Green Planet, boys. You said you were bored last night.

What does a normal night look like for you if you were born? Well, I usually watch Matt Dillon. Gunsmoke. Watch him. Either shoot somebody five times or a pistol weapon about two hours. Yeah. And then what? Go to bed?

Yeah. Then I go to bed at 9 o'clock. Nine o'clock. But if he can't sleep. Then I wake up and get out of bed about anywhere between 10 and 11. What? And that's where he gets all the commercials he's talking about for. Wait.

14 hours. You take a nap at 9 p.m.? No, no. I go to bed. at 9 p.m. If you wake up an hour later, I don't know. The next day.

Yeah, I took another five. Yeah. I took another five and six. So he sleeps 11, the 13 hours? Yeah. Well, yeah, of course I sleep for 13 hours. I thought we were still in the same PM mindset. How do you think I get this good looking, son?

I get my rest. Beauty rest is real. Yeah. This was interesting, too. I call them the eyeball plants. In case you're wondering what those look like, Stone. and Martin those are the eyeball plants For those just listening

I highly suggest you go to PBS.org when you get home and watch the Green Planet I've got two episodes so far the water world and the desert world Planet Earth's better than green plants Have you watched Planet Earth?

Uh-oh I've watched it a little bit They ain't into detail there And you are aware that it's in fact Shark Week right? I don't watch that That's too brutal Not on that

He just wants to watch cacti. No, no, that's another one because I was in Virginia at the big giant aquarium. I'm about to buy you a cactus. Okay, that you can walk in. You mean the water zoo? Oh, well, it's a giant aquarium is all I know. A giant one. And it's on the ground.

You can walk around through it and everywhere you turn, okay. You know, fish come from every direction, okay, and all kinds of fish. Because I was sitting there, come around a corner, and all I can see out of my provincial. what is it side vision? Peripherial. Perifial. Yeah, peripheral vision.

There you go. Hey, all I can see coming in my screen of scope of seeing on the right is giant teeth. And then here comes a big shark.

Like he's got like four rows of teeth about maybe six. And they're all at 45 degree angles. And they're like a chain. And look and hey, And that was the cool thing. I read it on the little thing they had to tell you about it.

If they break a tooth in front, it falls, the broke other part falls out, and then they got a chain, and they run in a brand new sharp one. So they're never without their killing teeth. Stone to catch you up a couple of podcasts ago. So I said we need a water zoo. No, no.

I think it was a break. We're talking about zoos. He goes, you don't be cool, a water zoo. Yeah, a giant one with all the creatures in it. Martin said, an aquarium? No, not an aquarium. He wants a water zoo. He wants a water zoo.

A water is very different. How is it different than an aquarium? We'll discuss that when we get back. Let's take another break. I lead an interesting life. Nobody's ever said otherwise. It gets more interesting somehow. I'm not exactly sure.

Every week. Cactus is on Amazon. expensive. Oh, I'm enjoying the golden years, they call them. That's 60 plus. That's the golden years. And you get your fishing license for $5. Somebody come up with that.

Okay, they're really not, but it's gone. It seems like it would be more fitting to call them the silver years. Yeah. Because everything on you silver now. Well, they call them the golden years. Yeah, y'all want a report from the woods. Absolutely. Yeah.

Always. Does it bear take a slip in the other day? Huh? On the last podcast, they tried to slick me. Who did? They brought in some camera, trail cameras, and it had a creature on it. And everybody was thinking I would say it was the BP. Okay.

No. It wasn't the BP, boys. It wasn't the BP. Johnny D. Did I send you the... Yes, you sent me the video. It's clearly a bear. It was a BB.

You posted the video. Yeah, I posted. I didn't know if I'd sent it to you. You might have sent it to me. just sad when I saw it. He's not sure. I got another video. Hold on. I'll send you that. Oh, he got another one. Send me that one. I'll throw it up on the screen. This one's actually kind of cool. What's your report, Stowe? What's your report from the wood? Well, you know, for the last three years, I've been trying to talk Phil into getting in this new tractor with

air-conditioned cab. Ooh. But he likes his old tractor. You know that old John Deere? What year do you think that thing was? Probably 80, 88. Probably in the 80s, late 80s. Big green. Big green. He's had that thing a long time. He loves it.

But there's no roof. There's no air condition. And he didn't like it because he wasn't used to the, to the, PTO clutch and all that. All the devices. All the stuff that makes your life easy. All the bells, all the bells and whistle.

He'd say, oh, that one ain't near as good as old John Deere. So yesterday, it was really hot and he come up and he said Stone I think I'm going to try out that fancy tractor I think I'll try it out

it won't be as good as old John Deere but I'll try it and about four hours later he's still out there and then when he came back to the house he said Stone that air condition makes a huge difference

yeah all of a sudden 100 degrees outside and all of a sudden if you hit a yellow jacket nest you don't get eight up you don't get stung That sun's not beating down on your head. But it's amazing. You can jam to the radio.

Oh, Bluetooth radio. That thing is something else. Phil is in kind of a rare form these days. We were down there that night filming a cooking deal with Willie, and we just walked in Phil's house at about 6 o'clock. He was full of energy at 6 p.m., just ready to go, sit there and talk about everything. You know, Miss Kay broke her finger yesterday. Yeah, she showed me that.

She said, look, I was. swatting a fly. I said, what did you hit? She said nothing. Oh, you had to hit some. No, she didn't. She just swatted at it and broke her finger from... Squatted out of fly, other fly? That's what she said. No, she said it was a stinging bug. So, when I said fly, she said no. She swatted in the air and... That's right. And broke her finger. Just the, from the movement, broke her finger. Well, I know you can move wrong and throw you back out, but... Or you can snap your rib opening up an ice chest.

Yeah. Well, or, hey, if you spent it, if you turned the wrong way. Look at him. She must have turned her hand the wrong way. Evidently. I say, Kay got them two new dogs down there, too. She got new dogs? Miniature rat terriers, you know, Bobo died a while back.

When did did Bobo die? You didn't know that? I don't think I did. It was a sad situation. Did it get run over? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, the UPS man right over.

Okay, UPS got him. He was sad, but so Ms. Kay got another rat terrier named him Bobo. So Bobo never dies. Bobo never dies. And then she got a little female to go with him. Oh, so now we're just going to start breeding Bobo's. And her name is B.B. Bobo and B.B.

You got B.J. and B.B.B.B.B. Bobo's like Bobo the 7th. Look, they're both of them about this tall. They're miniature rat terriers. Oh, they're not the big ones. And I'm going to tell you what I figured out about them. They leave miniature piles of pee all over that house. It was like a landmine. A minefield.

It's everywhere you step, there's little turds about this long. Well, it won't bother. There's pee pads. Every 10 feet, there's a pee pad. And there ain't no pee on them. But over about two feet from it, there's a puddle of pee. They ain't figured that out yet. But that's their entertainment these days, is watching those two puppies fight each other.

It's pretty entertaining. They are. They're legit. And if not, Phil's going to do something where they will be entertaining. Oh, yeah. They're funny. So that's the deal about when you used to with Bobo and put your hat over your face. Unlike stinky and blinky.

Yeah. Or whatever them two dogs. A lot of dogs. Oh, no, that's, what does he call it? Freaky and sneaky. Freaky and sneaky. That's right. Them are two dumbest dogs I've seen while out.

They are dumb. They are. They really are. They were laid on the couch other night. Phil said that's the most impressive thing they do. and hey and they're really good at it I had to give them one of my lines

when I gave it to an officer in it but now me and Miss Kay didn't pretty much quit cooking oh yeah me and Willie cooked them dinner that's what we were taking them we were taking them pork loin that we cooked at the river house loin Ode de pork

Ode de pork and Phil looked at it he said Hmm and then he took a bite of it He said, I tell you what, that's pretty good. He said, let me go back in there. Figured as that. Somebody had that on television where they brought a pork roast.

It was like a log. Yeah. And then they put a bunch of rub on it and then look like this pour, look like a whole box of salt and rubbed that on it. And then they had a cold fire in a pit. And they just went out there and threw it in the middle of cold fire and covered it all up. And then it showed them they brought it in.

knocked a little bit of the burnt stuff I'm started cutting it up and starting to eat it. No. We did ours a little different. We covered ours in rub, but we stuffed it. I don't think you want to roll it in colds. No. Ash ain't very good.

No. You want to tell you that? Ash and dirt. Yeah. I've never understood those shows. Oh, that cooked it in the actual fire. When they was doing it, I was looking at the wait a minute. I think you're supposed to have a grill plating above that?

Yeah, something. Or a log. You know, two logs you can lay it across. Yeah, not just throw it in the coals and then cover it up with all of it. You know, I've cooked stuff in the coals, but it's usually wrapped in tinfoil. You know, and then you take it out. Or a Dutch oven or. Yeah, something.

You know, where it's not getting the ash in the wood. I come in from bush hogging yesterday. And Phil's sitting there and I said, Phil, what are we going to eat for lunch? He said, slim pickings around. here son the woman done quick cooking oh the woman done quick got a broke finger he broke her finger swatting out of the house he said what you got he said i think there's some ritz crackers and some sardines

oh in the pantry always standby sardines he loves those sardines really oh he loves i don't think they get good till you get like 62 or 63 yeah when you can't taste anymore yeah when you're well when you then you just get to the point where you're eating He liked him when he was young. Did he? Did he?

Yeah. He liked when he's young. My grandpa used to eat them. I couldn't, I couldn't do it. I don't like being a sausage. Uh-uh. What? Nope.

Oh, man. Yeah. I like the jalapeno flavor. Nope. I like to heat them up over a little fire. Oh, well. Get an end of duck blind. You take that.

Anything you like heated over a fire like that's good. You take the top off and just sit it on a bow of your boat that way. It'll melt all that jelly. Oh, come out of there a lot easier. Just pour jelly off and eat the pit of my own. I don't even like... Yeah, buddy. That's fine.

That's living there, son. Hell yeah. But like potted meat, no. Nope. That meat paste that you put on like a saltine cracker, can't do it. Spam? No, no, no, no, no. Pottered meat, that's different than spank.

It's probably made out of a can, and it is horrible. It is like, it's legit, like meat paste. You like... Oh. Johnny D. You didn't eat none of this growing up, man? I had to buy in a sauce. Once?

Once? Didn't. He said it ain't no hot dog. Sell out of them at the honeyhole, but they're safe when I'm around. There ain't no Brockworth boys. Yep, lips and peckers. Those are gross. Router to the two.

Well, let's take a. another break. We can talk about hawk when we get back. I got a new neighbor. I almost did walk over to Willie's Pond the other day because I got a debt finder on the end of fishing ride now. Oh, really? You got a what? A debt finder on a fishing ride. You bought one of them? Uh-huh. Cast it out. I'm a pawn hopper, son. I needed something.

Yeah. Or at least. No fishing. It needs to be like an honor system, at least on the, uh. Catch and release. Well, not that, but, you know, like I got it, some of them boat ramps for the mailbox. You can put your money in like Phil used to have. Right.

Like, you had $2 to fish there. That way we can buy more minors with it. Well, there's one. fish in there that everybody likes he's the big crappie yeah he's good to eat he's worth a lot and they cost a lot yeah because they're sterile and you can't have croppies reproduced in your pond then they'll overpopulate and they'll be stunned you know unless jace lives close to you then they don't have a chance but willie would put four in at a time he's happened twice and jace is literally went out there and caught every one of them and ate them see i've never

eating a fish out of someone else's pond and don't even leave a tip jar that's terrible what kind of man are you jace that's terrible i don't like it i don't either the only time i've kept fish out of willy's pond is he asked me he said i need about 10 crappies yeah he said will you go catch them i said absolutely sounds fun so i caught those 10 and i caught about 15 more just for my sport that was my tax but i didn't keep them i threw them back on them back but yeah i'm not a pond i'm not a pond fish keeper we need to start keeping some of them smaller than that you want me too yes i got something under 14 inches catch them catch them in and take them put them in the dog's

It says this man will ransack your pond. Is that the guy that's in the boat every day? No, no, that's a different guy. I don't know that guy.

Who's that? Sage calls him Jimmy Donne. Jep calls him the shirtless fisherman. Because I live across the pond from Jeff. Jep's back. Yeah, he's back in town. And Jep called me. He's like, hey, what's up with the shirtless fisherman at 11?

I'm like, we just close our blinds. I don't know. Neighborhood pond. it's a weird thing now Mario just fish it in the day but he he knows how to catch a brim more than just about anybody I know does he keep him oh yeah oh lord oh Mario's fishing for food son fishing for sustenance oh yeah um but Willie's pond there's like an eight pound there's like a eight pound there's like a eight because it's in the same spot. Yeah. Everybody takes a picture in the same spot.

In the spring, she's on the same bed every year. So during the spring, I walked down there and I just look. I'm like, still there. She's good. She's healthy. She's alive. But everybody else walked by there and see her. They got their cricket on her.

She's going to bite. Like, she's the one you won't reproduce it. Don't mess with her. Let her spawn this whole pond. Catch her and release her. Don't even catch her. Just let her keep spawning. Do her thing because you want more with her genetics.

She will bite your cricket. They all got them genetic. Yeah, well, they used to. They used not get no pressure. It used to be really fun. Willie's Pond? There's nothing better than a really good pond. Amen.

Amen. Yeah. Is that the one you're talking about? That's her. Is that a picture of stone with it? Yeah. And guess where he's at? Right by the bridge.

Hey, right there. Right there. That's where she's at, boys. That's where she stays. She got a mailbox right there. She don't leave it. He goes up, spawns, goes back out, eats him crappies. He goes up, does her thing.

I mean, everything lives right there. He just sent you the picture. Oh, okay. You can insert anybody's face in this picture that lives in that neighborhood. They've all caught that bass and stood right there. Stone got the live photo going. She's a good one. No, one of my cousins was in town from Colorado, so they called Corey's like, hey, can we go fishing?

And the cousin's friend caught it. He was all fired up. She's pretty, though. Yes, she is. She's got those markings on her. There's only one fish it is. I mean, she is unmistakable. Oh, that tail.

Beautiful fish. But she bites. That is pretty fair. There's some other good ones in there. There's some other good ones. They just not quite as, she's very much a team player. Yeah. The other ones is you catch them once, and then they're like, I caught one two years ago bigger than that one.

Yeah, over there by the bear. Yeah. By the, I've never caught that one. I've tried to catch that one. I ain't figured that one out. He caught that. Yep. Oh, you got to.

That one's a little slicker. You got to make it mad. Yeah, you got to sit there right there with her, and you can talk her into it. I just got... I'll get you the special bait. What? Which is the wacky worm. How he'll hit the wacky worm?

That's actually what I call it up. I'll tell you, hey, they'll hit that wacky worm. I thought he was going to say a three-tail shrimp. I just had a weird text. What? Hey, J.D. didn't sleep well last night and overslept. Didn't sleep well, but I overslept. It's 2.30.

Should I still come into work? Wait, what? They're just now letting you know they oversle. Well, he wasn't supposed to be there until two. And he oversle- Callan. It's time to call him. Callan, I love you, but what just happened?

How old is he? 18. He just graduated high school. Okay. He's learning. It's his first job. I actually really like him. Because everything he says makes me laugh.

But this is new what he just did here. He was out running that food plot all night. I don't know what he was. doing. I can tell you what he's doing. Eighteen and not waking up till two in the afternoon? Overslept? Should I still come in?

Oversleep. This ain't oversleeping. This is something new. This is a problem. This is what this is. Yeah, two in the afternoon. I mean. Cy, have you ever slept till two in the evening?

Of course he has. Yes. But I needed it. If I ever do it, I need it. Okay. That kid, if I go back to work and I say, Hey, ma'am, what's the deal? And he says,

I needed it. You got to let him go. He's off the hook. You got to let him go. Well, no, no, because hey, that's the way Phil was, okay, when I was working for it. But you slept till two in the evening? Like, didn't wake up until two? Oh, no, no, no.

I slept 24 hours around the clock. Have you really? Oh, no. You've slept 24. I'm talking about I went to bed like 8 o'clock at night, and I woke up at 8 o'clock at night. Are you sure it wasn't just for like 2 minutes and felt like 24 hours? No. I've done that.

I went in bed and woke up in time of getting up, got dressed, we'll fix it to go to work. And my wife said, what are you doing? I said, if I can go to work. She said, hey, you just got in bed two minutes ago. And I said, no, I've slept a whole night. No, it ain't. You've been in bed two minutes. Can we revisit the 24-hour sleep?

Yeah, I'm very curious. Why did you sleep 20? Was you sick? Because I was dead tired. Been busy. Picking up Liam. He got paid $10, so he took a 24-hour nap. Oh, no, I slept around a lot before.

Man, that's awesome. Hey, look, you got to think of this, okay? I spent 24-half, 24-half years in the military. Yeah. And most of it, I actually got a hour nap in every day. Well, I can understand an hour nap, but sleep in 24 straight hours. Oh, no, I was dead tired that day. Was it after playing poker?

Well, I had done something that had been working on all, you know, and it just built up on me. I got you. And then when I went to sleep, hey, I want to sleep. I don't want to ask our fans if you're still with us at this point. What's the longest you've slept? I don't, I ain't, I ain't sniffing 24. Pretty amazing when you think it for 24 hours? That's a.

And without waking up, especially since I drink this all the time? I did do that once, but I had. The flu. Yeah. No, so that's what I was expecting him to say. Well, no, no, I may have been sick. Yeah. But, like, did you get up and go to, you never even got out of the bed?

No. Because I've been, like, in bed for 24 hours. Hey, my wife would come in there every once a while ago. Did you have to change your sheets when you got up? No. I'd have had to take a leak at some point in there. No. Unreal.

Oh, she said, she said, I thought you had died. And I said, what? I'm sure glad you didn't. I kept coming in there and put my hand on your chest and talking about, no, he's still breathing. Still breathing. Still going. Well, let's take our last break. We'll be back right after you.

We're back. We're going to jump in that inbox. Hello at duck call room. Datanka. Come on. That's because you got a buffalo coat. I'm calling you to Tongka. I was getting a drink with my cup and I almost split it out.

What breaks are funny, people. All right. We started at New Zealand. where do you think we're going next? Where is this email from? Wild guess. Missouri. Singapore.

Singapore. Wait, what? We're going to world. Wow. We're international now, sir. I'm a longtime fan from Singapore all the way on the other side of the world. Been listening since the start. Now he's got an excuse to email him.

Well, Philip, let's do it. He's a 31-year-old guy and got attached to his first girlfriend three months ago. She's 31, too. Both love the Lord or. serving as leaders in church. The problem is that our families attend different churches. Looking into the future of marriage, I foresee that our biggest challenge would be deciding which church we should settle in. How would you guys go about thinking through this decision or have any of you faced this situation before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated?

I'd go to a completely different one. Let your families go to theirs and you and your wife start your family and make your own. I like that. Make your choice. Yeah. Philip? I'll use nan. She said, hey, I'm a grown woman. I'm going to do what I want to do.

That's what's so strong. I guess. That's what happened. That's what happened, boy. Something like that. Well, I was thinking the same thing, Mark. Yeah. I mean, don't pick sides.

Just go start your own. Go do your own thing. What is the church situation in Singapore? I to be a hundred percent fair I don't know a lot about Singapore anyway I don't even know where I recognize the name but I couldn't pick it out on the map I know it's a lot about boats

is all I know what do they call a pound cans or whatever it is what I'm again I don't know a lot about Singapore Singapore's got a lot of boats right I mean you want to Google it like throw that up on the screen I just don't know I know it's over sandpans I think around like Indonesia and all that stuff right like sure

but that's that's about It's left or right. Thailand. You can go either way. Yep. It's right next to Thailand, I think. Is it? Malaysia.

Malaysia. I don't even, yeah, it's close to Thailand. It's over, yeah, it's far away. Yeah. But yeah, I'm with Martin on this. Find you one. Y'all go do your own thing. And then look, go visit both of them.

Go to each church with equal enthusiasm. Go to a new church. Like, it doesn't, you'll find a place that works for your marriage. Like, it doesn't have to be one of those two. So, you know, that's my suggestion. Yeah, I like it. But thank you for listening from Singapore. That is awesome.

You know, Singapore caught my eye. What do you? What time is it? No, what, what are somebody called? What, like, we're Americans, Canadians, are there Singaporeans? Singaporeans? Singapore. Singapore?

I have no idea. No, no clue. No. Philip, please email us back and just give us some fun Singapore fact. Yeah, we're, I'm way more interested in learning about Singapore now. Thank you, Philip. Do y'all have Komodo dragons? I know you're close to over there.

They got to. I mean, it's close. Or Bengal Tigers. Oh. Have you ever been to Singapore? No. No, but he's had to be the closest one of us. I went to Taiwan.

Okay. On vacation. There you go. Vietnam's closer than Taiwan. When I was in Vietnam, I took a vacation to Taiwan. How was it? It was great. Did you go to Bangkok?

Nope. Wasn't it? Just Taiwan. It was. That was a pretty country. I don't know what that song's about. So I'm going to stop. I just, you know, it's got the catchy tone at the beginning.

All right, Lizzie emails in, much closer, Garland, Texas, which apparently is just a way of saying Dallas. She's 22, and thanks, Martin. She wants to say congratulations to Martin and Brittany on having twins. She's an identical twin herself, her and her sister. she went to school with 19 sets of twins in the same elementary school. There's twins all over this world. Wow.

But she was just trying to get our attention with the 19 set of twins factoid because she needs some advice. She's currently working two jobs and stuck between the two. At one job, I feel like I have to stay because my twin works there. And I feel like I need to stay to help her because we're short staff there. The story of 2022. And at my other job, my fiancee works there. And we're also kind of short staff there as well. The story of 2022.

I don't like it when either of them are stressed out about work. So I try to do my best to help them both out. For a little bit, I was working six to one and then three to ten. Whoa. That's too much. I had worked so much, I made myself sick. Yes. What do you think I should do?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It's good to hear somebody still like. Hustling. Hustling. That's hustling there. That ain't working. That's hustle. That's what that is. Yeah, those kind of people are a few and far between these days. But as much as it's admirable to think about the other people that you're working with,

take care of yourself first. Yeah, you've got to be happy. Be happy, be healthy for one. But I do applaud you. And if you take that resume to somewhere that's looking for somebody, they'll hire you because they know you like to hustle. Have you ever fished? Yeah.

Or not. Would you like to work in selling fishing thing? There you go. Honeyhole may be looking for somebody. 14-hour days. But, I mean, I don't know how you choose between your sister and your fiance, but, you know, that's up to you. I'm amazed that she went to class with 19 other twins.

Sets of twins. So 38 twins. They saw something in the water around Dallas. I was fake say, whatever year that was, something. than happened. Yeah. That's impressive. Nine months before that.

Yeah. Yeah. But, hey, you need to give up one of your jobs. That'd be the first thing I'd do. Well, she was asking which one to give up, right? Well, yeah, I guess. The one that pays less. Yeah.

All right. Good call. With my hobbies, I'm more apt to work the six to one one and dip out on that other one so I can have the afternoon to fish, to hunt. Yeah. Do a myriad. of other things. But then you work the other one during hunting season.

Yeah, and then you go back to that one once duck season opened. But that's just for six days. She seems to be the dependable one here. So both places want you. Yeah. New advice. Ask for a raise from both of them and see what you get. Or more hours.

It was another one email to send that. It had two jobs and he was asking what to do. There's still people that hustle up. The problem is there's still people that hustle and want to work. but there's so many that don't want to work that now the hustlers are really hustling. And they're tired.

And they're tired. Yeah. And we got to take care of the hustlers. It's not the hustlers. Hey, if it wasn't for hustlers, my house renovation wouldn't be where it is at right now. You got some hustlers? I got a few hustlers that are helping me every evening

from like four to eight. And then I keep going. But if it wasn't for the folks that's wanting to work, I'd be divorced, probably. Because that house be still tore apart. And Brittany has, She ain't getting no smaller, one. And that nest is starting to get bigger.

They sticks there every day just like a bird building the nest. That nest getting bigger. She buying stuff? Buying stuff, we're getting sent stuff, you name it. People trying to take care of these kids. And all I got is a skeleton of a house. I got the walls. Hey, that's about it.

Walls and a roof. Walls and the air conditioner work. That's very important. But I had to pull in my chairs from my house. my patio last night to sit in and take a break. So I ain't got no furniture in there either. You ain't got no furniture? I got a mattress. Man, you

went all out. Well, I just, I'm trying to keep that stuff clean, man. They dust everywhere from that mess. So I've got it moved out and covered up until you're like, man, I need to sit down somewhere. You look around it. I ain't a where sit there. I looked up last night, 8.30. I was fresh out of chips on my last bottle of water.

It felt like college again. Time's getting tough. He's back at the door. I was one bad decision away from being at Little Caesars getting me a pizza. He's going to pull a Willie. Don't dare me to go to Little Caesars. Have you had that thin crust? No, I haven't.

I've tried to get off at. What you're talking about? That's proof that the Lord loves us. Well, there you go. Yeah, I don't know. Hey, pick whichever one you want to go with. I can't tell you how to choose to win your sister. Yeah, I think you got to ex-nay those two parts of the equation.

Ask which one of them wants you for 40 hours and pick that one. And whichever job is better for you, or if there's one that you just genuinely like doing and you don't like the other. Yeah, amen. Because I don't know what these jobs could even be besides like maybe at a grocery store. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Six to ten. Chick-fil-A or something. She's saying short staff six to one.

Chick-fil-A ain't short-staff, man. I went to a chicken restaurant in town last night. I left the line because I was just sitting there, went to Chick-fil-A where they know how to do things. my food was passing the other restaurant, which isn't close to Chick-fil-A, and the people I was behind were still in line. Oh, you dodged that Zaxby's bag. I was there first. Then I was three restaurants.

You knew where you went. Before I finally just went to where the Lord's chickens made, and they have people that are friendly and get the job done. You got to choose one of them, because if you go to Popeyes, you can't get out. Once you make that turn in, you're committed. It was 9 o'clock. You better have a full tank of gas. You better have a full tank of gas.

Yeah, well. Well, let's send us out of here with some scripture. All right. Well, this one's for Philip. Our man from Singapore, trying to figure out. It goes along with Martin's advice. Ephesians 531. For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

and the two will become one flesh. Philip, it's about you and your wife. Not her parents, not your parents. They're still your family. But at the end of the day, it's you two. Against the world. Against the world, baby. Amen.

All right. We'll see y'all next time right here. We're out. We go.
