Episode Date: October 13, 2022

Korie Robertson says Willie was once absolutely sure she was growing an Adam's apple — and didn't tell her! She also divulges Willie's critical fishing mistakes and reveals how long John-David actually wet the bed. What do you like eating now that you didn't when you were younger? Martin talks about changing taste buds and they all agree on one thing: blue cheese is terrible. Si is still bitter at the squirrels who ate all his treasured strawberries one summer, plus that time his weenie dog, Merlin, beat him to his garden tomato. Martin doesn't miss the smell of wilted salad and hot vinegar dressing in his grandma's house. And Si describes his adventure in a mustard field in Germany that he — surprisingly — remembers quite well.  - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Oh, no, I don't even remember who it was now, but it was somebody in the family. What? It said, oh, no, no, when I was growing up. Okay, he said that, hey, look, if the dude cheats him cards, have nothing to do with him because, hey, he'll cheat in everything in life. So what if he cheat in a fishing tournament? There's whites and fish. Same deal.

Same deal. If he'll cheat on catching a fish. That's crazy. Because fishin's like the most. He would cheat on his wife. life in a heartbeat. Oh, whoa. No, no, I'm serious.

We took it up a night. Well, no, no, that's just like dogs. If dogs, you know, here comes a person in your house and that dog looks at him and growls. Good judge of character. Do not trust that person. I don't know about that. Hey, dogs growl it like every bed X time for years. My dog growled at my mom-in-law.

Hey. Just say, we brought Carter home. I said, this is going to be weird. And she went to pick him up and Dublin said, and I was like, that's the first time he's ever growled at anybody. What's your deal, sissy? Protection. I think it's safe to say she don't listen to this.

We can talk about all my in-laws all we want. Oh, okay. They got short drives to work. I'm not going to be that. Let a rip. But it is wild. I mean, everybody's obviously seen the walleye fisherman cheating. Well, and

And the problem with it Is how long have they been doing it I mean these cats have won over Three million dollars Whoa, for real Mm-hmm You can make that much money fishing? If you

If you're good or you cheap? If you stuff enough lead, if you stuff enough lead You can you win every one you enter I just don't I don't get It's it here's size right though Here's what I say Them boys probably poached deer

They probably there's no law, if you're willing to do that, there's nothing you won't do, in my opinion, to the tune of $3 million, and it took you that long to get caught. Yeah, that's a lot of money. Yeah. That's a lot of money.

In fishing, especially, and especially walleye fishing. And I feel like this, it's like you kind of like, now we've all come to expect people to cheat in politics and all these things, but like in fishing, that's like wholesome, old school, That should be the place where there's no cheating. It's just out in nature. Just because of the honor system.

The crowd almost whooped all of them. It became a frenzy. Here's what I tell you. It's a good thing it happened up there and not down here because this crowd would have... Oh, I've heard some things at the shop. Would have beat the snod out of them. Like just would have drug them out there and said, okay.

But now these guys for cheating and fish internment are now convicted felons. They ain't never going to fish again. They can fish all they want to. They can't hunt. They might take their license away. Well, yeah. And kind of for it. Yeah.

Like, you want to ruin the good sport of fishing. Yeah. Get on out of here. But they'll never gun hunt again if they deer hunt or duck hunt. That's out. You're a felon. No more firearms. All because of you wanted to.

Well, look at it. Here's the question. Here's the question. I mean, I don't understand. Was it really worth it? For real. Where's the satisfaction in winning if you choose? Yeah, and if I'm those people, I make them pay every dime that they won prior to this back.

Yeah. I'm sure they've still got it. Yeah. I bet they got a really nice side-by-side. Yeah, they better count the money because they may put lead weights into dollar bills when they hand them back. I mean, they better do their, in words aside, you better do your own count. Lead quarter. Oh, well, no, no. But it's national news.

It should be. It's on the Today Show. It was on Tucker Carlson, and I don't. Mr. man that Tucker Carlson had on, Chris Bouchard, wherever you got that honeyhole hoodie, thank you so much, sir. Yeah, that was awesome. Johnny D. says, send your address. I'll send you another one.

Oh, my whole family. Send Tucker one. My whole family. Well, Tucker, if you're listening, and I doubt it. Thank you for having that man on, whoever he may be, because I loved his sweatshirt. My whole family was freaking out last night. We made Fox News, Martin. Yeah, there you go.

All it took was a couple weirdos shoving three pounds away. You ain't ever been on Fox News before. I don't think I have. I've been behind the scenes. Oh, you've been there. I've been in the green room. I got you. Okay.

I was just getting people coffee back in. Hey, if you haven't noticed, we have a guest. We do. Corey is filling in. Hey. Because we're trying to get ahead because we've got some things going on in our lives. You got some stuff coming. Two very important things going on.

Yeah. Johnny D's going on vacation. That's the number one. That's not what I was referring to. That ain't the biggie. That ain't the big one. And allegedly, we're going to have twins. You may be a father right now as a zairing.

Well, you should be. I should be. You probably will be. Yeah, I should be. By the time this one actually hits the waves, we will, in theory, have had the children. And we cannot wait to see those little boys. I can. I can still wait a little bit.

I got like three things at that house that need to get finished. You better get on it. Oh, they're steady working right now. And then if we can get those things done in the next just a couple of days, will be ready to row. You're going to be a little busy. I'm very busy. I was also informed that going hunting this weekend was not a good idea.

Oh, you said that yesterday. You're like, oh, Saturday morning, I'm going. Yeah, apparently I'm not. You're not. Yeah. Well, when I'm out there, I'll remember you, Mark. Yeah, well. You're at that stage now where it could be just, you're just like one like, oh,

oh, something doesn't feel right away. Oh, I know. Every time my phone vibrates and has for the past two weeks, I'm just in a pan. I'm like, I don't, I don't even want to flip it over and look at it. I'm like, oh, what is this? What is this? Yeah, but from now on, honey will become a different thing for you. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, because it's just, it's going to be about making memories with your children. Yeah. That's going to be fun when they can go along. When they can come with. This hunting season, you can be in the, if you ever do get in the sand or the blind this hunting season, you're going to be like this. You're going to be nodding off. He's going to be sleeping in every blind stand he gets in this year.

Martin, have you killed anything? He said, no, but I've got some good you kill. I've caught up for a lot of sleep. I'm going to have to kill something eventually. Otherwise, you're going to get suspicious of why I'm going. Yeah, that's the truth. So you've got to at least come back with some bounty at some point. You better come back with some meat.

You've got a lot more people to feed now. Yeah. If they eat like me, we're in trouble. But, no, it's good. It's wild to think about it. We've, it's one of them deals like the last, the first 30 weeks, 30, 32, 33 flew by. And these last couple of weeks seem like they're taking forever. Yeah.

Because she's miserable. Yeah. I mean, he saw her on his podcast a couple of weeks. She put on a good face for sitting in that chair. The woman's miserable. She didn't want to be here. Yeah. Okay, I can tell you that.

She don't want to be anywhere. Yeah. Well, God prepares the woman because, like, the last part, you're so miserable. You're not sleeping anyway. You're going to get up and go to the bathroom. Every time you turn over, you hurt. So by the time you actually have the babies, you're used to not sleeping. I mean, not that it makes not sleeping any better, but you do kind of get prepared.

You're not prepared. You're not prepared for what's about to come. You don't even know. Well, I don't know. She wakes me up every time she goes to the bathroom. So I'm up just basically every time that she's up. Yeah. So it's like.

You have to kind of push her out of the bed. is she at that point? I have to help. Yeah. I have to assist, mostly on the get up. The come down gravity works on that. Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, you just need to get out of the way. I fixed the, I fixed the get in the bed. Yeah, the gravity helps on the way down, but on the way out, I have to assist. But it's wild to think about. I don't know what we did to deserve two of them, but here we go, you know. Double blessed. Yeah, amen. Yeah, divide and conquer.

over. Yeah, we come out playing man to man. Yeah, man to man defense from the job. Yeah, so that's fine. It's all good. Yeah, if it was one, I'd be going hunting this weekend. I can promise you that. Since there's two of them, I'm going to, I'm going to stay home and do what I should do. It'd be good. I think that's a good idea. Yeah, I need to get that house finished anyway, so whatever. It's almost done. It's almost done. It was at a point I was comfortable with, but she wasn't. I was like, yeah, that'd be fine. Well, everybody would tell you, hey, get you a playbook. There ain't no playbook. Nope.

Okay, you're going to have to go. This is off the cuff. You just got to go in. Go with it. Yeah, well, as soon as they can, they come into your house, old man. That's fine. I'm dropping them off on the way to your stand. He can teach them how to nap, really well.

Yeah. Can you be in charge of their sleep training? Nap time and story time. That's where they go. Cy's house. Oh, Lord, have mercy. No, that's just another one of God's amazing things that goes on. Yeah, it is.

There's excitement in his eyes right now. No, no. Because it's just, you know, I don't know how it could all work. That's what it gets me. Yeah. Yeah, it don't make sense. She's got 10 pounds of babies. No.

She's about 13 now. 13. Crushing everything inside her. Especially her bladder, apparently. Kicking it, okay, stressing it. Because, like, first time when the baby Tracer kicked her foot out in mama's belly and you could see the foot and toes, I was just, whoa, wait a bit. Yeah, that's wild.

Especially with two of them. Oh, no, no, and I'm talking about, look, it was like that far, you know, just her foot and toes. Yeah, all you got to do right now. You know, and mama's going, that's all you got to do right now and Britney is just watch her belly button and you'll know if they're moving because every time they move, her belly button goes,

whew, real. Yeah, it's wild, man. It's wild, but it's going to be fun to meet them. Being in the room when those babies are worn, there is nothing on my kid. Oh, I remember when the first time she kicked me out of bed. What? Who?

Oh, Tracer. Oh, kicked you out of bed? Oh, yeah. I'm laying there, boom, next time. Boom, I hit the floor, and I went, What in the world happened? From inside the wound? Oh, no, no.

And Christine is laughing her head off. That was Christine kicking you out to bed. No, no, it was straight. But she kicked me slam out of bed. We need to get Christine back to the fact check. Oh, it was hilarious. Because all I was, yeah, she was worth it. Girl was strong.

Oh, no. Bam. You know, I'm talking about, whoa, what in the world happened? Let me out of here. Yeah, one moment I'm in bed, half of sleep. Next I don't know, I'm crashing into the floor. Unreal. Well, let's take our first break.

We'll be back right after you. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good?

It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson, would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Triedells, getting ready for a cookout. I mean, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Triedales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch.

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

So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat me. She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash. support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Corey, you've been fishing a lot lately.

I have. With John Shepard. Yes, it's so much fun. So we took John Shepard, he's almost three, out in the boat a couple times lately. He loves the boat life. He loves the fishing. And it's so fun. It's like bringing back all the memories of me fishing with my papal,

which is like John David and I have the same papal, if you don't know. And so we grew up fishing with him, and now it's like, getting to fish with the grandkids is the best. And it's like every time he catches one, he, as soon as he catches it, he's like, I want to catch one more. I want to catch one more. It's like he's got the bug.

He's got it in. Then here's what I'll tell you about Josh Shepard. He can go with me anytime he wants to. One more? Yep, let's do it. He'll say. That is the lion. Yeah.

You know, it's like stones when I'm fishing with him. Tell me how many more you're going to catch? I said, just one more. Yeah. I can't tell you how many last cast I've had. Well, just one more. Okay, but I have to tell on Willie, though, what happened. Do you know what happened?

Oh, yeah. So, John Shepherd literally caught three fish. Willie caught several. Like, we had a good little mess of fish tied on a little, you know, string in the water. He tied it to the boat paddle, which I kind of thought, like, is that smart? But I was like, okay, not going to comment. This is not probably the right thing to do. Willie's obviously been fishing his whole life, so I'm not going to comment.

So he tied it to the boat paddle. Next thing you know, we looked down and the fish, the line's gone. Like, somehow the fish just, he didn't hide good enough. So all of our fish that we were going to eat for dinner that night are just somewhere in the water. So what does Willie do? Then Willie's like, I'm going in after him. Well, we're on the boat with John Shepard. And Willie's like, I'm going to jump out of the boat and get in.

I'm like, if you jump out of this boat, like we're all going in. Yeah, you're going to get me wet. Verify that. Verify that with me. if he jumped out of the boat with us sitting in it, would we go in? Y'all better be holding on. If he jumped out of the boat, maybe not,

but Willie's not going to jump out. He's going to roll out. If he stood on the seat, which is in the middle of the boat, and jumped out. And jumped out. And jump straight from there, you would be okay. But if he steps on that side. Yeah, he was on the end.

He was trying to climb on the end. There's going to be a wet smock there pretty quick. He's rolling. He's rolling in. Exactly. He was going to come out from that side. the end and I was like no there's no way and I was like no Willie please do not do this do not do it and then John Shepherd started going no doves and John Shepherd's not scared but like he realized like he

sent the urgency in my voice so I'm like Willie you cannot climb out of this boat right now while we're in the middle of the water I mean y'all's pond ain't that big just go to the bank and then and then hold on then you can paddle him back over to where he thinks he lost it that's way easy That's what we did. Oh, okay. So I was like, let's just go to the bank. You weigh it out there. I'm out.

You can get out there or whatever. So we go to the bank. He climbs out. He gets in, of course, can't find the fish. He's like, there's a ton of fishing line at the bottom of the pond. Yeah, that's all jayses. Yeah, Jay's. I can't find it.

My mom goes and gets goggles for him, but that didn't work either. You can't. You can't. You ain't don't see nothing. That didn't work either. So anyway, then. And Willie has to, you know, fish, which has to fish another, like, hour or so. That's a pretty good trick, though.

I'm going to try to start that one. I should have been home, but, you know, I lost the fish, and then I know you wanted them for dinner, so I had to go back. I don't like that. It was right at dark. I rolled on my golf cart. I saw Willie fish, and I said, I'm going to talk to Willie. And he was like, yeah, I lost on my fish, so I got to catch more. Because we were fish hungry.

We wanted fish that night. Well, one of those was for me. I said, well, I'll help you for a moment. Well, there's plenty. Did you see that croppy? that was like, I'm not kidding. It was that big. It was that big. It was huge.

One that's slick by Jace. There was one that got away from Chase. One didn't go back across the street. Yeah. We did eat fish that night, but John Sherrod was in bed by the time we ate the fish because, you know. Well, that's just eating at y'all's house. Dinner don't start until about 9.30. That's true.

I mean. Late eaters. Yeah. Willie don't get fired up to cook until about 8.30. No, that's the problem. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I told him one time I said I got to go eat dinner at my parents he said what time you'll eat and I said five he goes what do you live on a cruise ship I was like we just eat at five I think that

might be kind of normal it might be a little early but yeah the older I guess the earlier I've tried to move him early he's getting a little bit better but no I let y'all got this 9 o'clock 872 grandkids it's got to move up in the day I know that hadn't worked it hadn't moved up yet well now he's cooking till 930 because you got all them son-in-laws that eat so Well, so. Oh, you just got to triple. You got to triple your normal amount of what you cook. It used to be me and Martin, but we're not very active, so we don't burn calories like those other.

Well, and I take into consideration they bought the food. Their job's not to feed me. I try to be respectful. Like, you know, but the rest of them. The son-in-laws, they just go in. Yeah, just. Which really does, like, appreciate that. He likes that they like his cooking.

But, yeah, he definitely has to account for who's coming, exactly, because I know he to know. He did Willie burgers of the night and I think I want to say Christian ate 7. Whoa! Of the Willie one? Yes. Oh man. Yes. Good thing he works out. If you want to eat seven hamburgers and look like Christian instead of me,

head on over to Christian's podcast. Yeah, seven. Seven. But I eat seven hamburgers. Oh, I ate five at least. Yeah, don't let the man fool you now. Down in fields when he cooked hamburgs, I ate five. Well, that's the same one's Willie cooked. And I was going to say, this is homemade burgers.

Okay. This is not what you get. I can eat two. And I will, I mean, I only eat two hamburgers. That's with everything on it. Lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, you okay? Yeah. Oh, I've seen you do it. I just like it plain.

I just like meat and cheese. No sauce, nothing. Especially on those. On those. Yeah. On those. Yeah. Because what you do, if you put all that on those, I mean, you could add

lettuce or onion or something, but like you don't want to add a condiment because you lose the crust that he's. he gets on the burger and that crust is the key. That little peanut oil, salt and pepper crust is the... It's good. Well, Phil's actually a little bit. It just sprinkles some black pepper and a little bit of salt on each one. Mm-hmm.

Okay, and it, I'm telling you, it gives it a better flavor. With just a dash of peanut oil in that skill. Yeah. Yeah, I watch it. It gives you a better flavor, trust me. I did them one time at my house and realized my vent fan ain't what theirs is. Hold on. I mean, it looked like a...

It looked like a bonfire. up in there. Oh, no, you think the house is burning down when Phil Cook's hamburger. Yeah. That's why the best thing it ever happened was that pit boss griddle, because you can get that thing, Scott. You can do the same thing on it, but you're outside. Outdoors.

That is good. You can do it because it's cast iron and all that. You can do everything you need to do, but you're outside. I did it one time in the house. I said, yeah, I don't think I'm going to do this again. That reminds me. I went through the same problem. That reminds me, okay, when I was a child.

Mama would go and get groceries, okay, and she had buy, you know, like 20 pounds of hamburger meat. And then she had put it in little packages and cook maybe 10 meals out of that. Well, we come in, me and Phil and a couple of football players from school, okay. He ate 14. Oh, my goodness. Hamburgers? Homemade. Whoa.

So boy starving to death. Oh, no, no, no. Well, he was about 6'6 and weighed about 250. He was her running back, a fullback. He was the fullback? Yeah. And Mama said... You couldn't tackle him?

No, no. And Mama said, hey, don't ever bring that boy home with you again. He ate all 20 pounds of the hamburger meat. I fixed to make 10 meals out of. He's hungry. Hey, feed that boy. I'm telling you. Well, just, to why, it's about two bites.

Okay. A regular-sized hamburger. every about two bites and it's gone. He's gone. And then he's putting another one together. You know, so just, you know, good grief, y'all. Oh, Lord. That's all.

Oh, he used to go to the restaurants when it was all you can eat night. Shut them down. Yeah. Hey, they finally banned him. You are not welcome here anymore, sir. Do not even bother coming through the door. We're not going to feed you. Oh, yeah.

Me and Johnny D. used to get that look at the local pizza. Speaking of eating everything, the fair's here. Have y'all gone to the fair yet? No. Well, you're not going to the fair this year. No, y'all aren't fair people? I'm not a fair game.

My mom tricked me at a young age and said, I'll buy you a Super Nintendo, but you never get to go to the fair. And I was like, sweet. Sold. Sold. And then I realized, not only did she never have to go to the fair, she also saved a lot of money. Oh, yeah.

So now I'm waiting to angle that with my kids. It's like, okay. My only memory of the fair growing up is a couple of dead goldfish. Well, yeah. I couldn't ever keep them things alive. And goldfish are tougher than you. They are. They're very tough.

People think goldfish is beta fish. Beta fish will live forever. Goldfish, no. They won't. They should do beta fish. Why they didn't like? I don't know, but them goldfish live a long time on a trot line. Oh, I was fish like.

Goldfish only 45 cents. But you put them in an aquarium and it's a death sentence. It's true. They put them on a trot line, hook them right. They'll live forever. Yeah. Y'all, going back two weeks later. Hey, he's still out there?

We went to the fair. My dad ate. I don't even know. Corner on the Cobb, the sausage thing, the turkey leg, the fried fish, the, I mean. It says one time of year to leave pescatarian behind. No, he's giving it up. Oh. He's eating meat now.

Oh. Yep. Johnny's back, baby. Uncle Johnny said, throw me a hamburger on. And see, now there's another mouth you got to account for at your house. Look, you used to have Johnny his own little. flatter over here and everything was that's true now he's done gotten into the middle he ate too many shrimp and too many crustaceans he started getting problems from that oh yeah mix some red meat in

there balance it out yep there you go that's right that's good life's about balance it is I don't know red meat and shrimp well what kind of eater is honey honey is not a good eater I don't know why it's it's shocking because you know Christian and Sadie really appreciate She eats food too, but honey does not, she's not a great eater yet. So we're working on that. Listen now. Now, Rebecca's little baby, Holland, she is tiny and that girl will eat anything. I mean, she puts, it's like, she just puts it on her tray and she just like stuffs it in her mouth.

And it's hilarious because she's like seven months old. She's just eating. Honey, so far is not, she's picky. That's like I like. That's because dad keeps her in a gym. I like, I like, say. She does squats already. She does do squats already.

That's what I'm saying. Man, man, he's put together pizza things. You know, it's got the cheese and the peppermint and all that, you know,

and all the stuff. She puts it, what is, not pepper. Pepperone. I didn't even catch it. Pepperoni. I love a good peppermint pizza.

Anyway, it took her like five minutes to put it together. This elf. Okay, she puts it in the microwave, microwaves it. Then the first thing she does is she takes the pepperoni,

throws it away, take something else, throws it away, and then all she, She does it takes the knife and scrapes the sauce off, and that's all you eat. What? I'd say, why didn't you just open the sauce, okay? Heat it up a little bit in the microwave, open it, and eat it, and forget about making it.

Take it 10 minutes to put it together. Ain't same. Yeah, ain't sane. And she does it. You got to get the flavor of that. She does it every time the same way. Really? That's funny.

That's hilarious. Like cheese. Everything else she'll, like, put in her mouth and, like, take it away. It's like, she's got to, like, test it. That's good. She doesn't trust it. She doesn't just trust it. She's testing it.

Oh, that's a good way to be around Willie's kitchen. Next thing you know, you'll grab a mushroom has been soaked in balsamic vinegar overnight. Now. And you'll projectile that thing out of your mouth so fast. You got to go clean up your mess. Oh, hold on. Oh, yeah. I eat them like peanuts.

Oh, yeah. I do. You like peanuts. Yeah. Pizza. Pepperment. Yeah. Pepperoni.

Oh, man. Well, but. But my kids, you know, Ben's won't eat anything. He's like, no, I don't like that. I'm like, you've never tried it. Yeah. And so it's good that she's at least testing the water. So she just don't like it.

I never got people that made your kids eat stuff that they did. I don't like this. Well, you're going to eat it anyway, but I don't like it. Yeah, because. Kind of like y'all with that vina sausage. Why are you going to make me eat something? I don't like. How do you know?

I tried it. When? No, you didn't. Your taste buds change. I used to not like Brussels spray. You got to keep trying. Once you don't like something, just. That's not, no, John.

See, I try horse radish like once a quarter, even though I know I don't like it, but I'm like, let's see if, let's see if it's change. Let's see if it's change. Yeah. I take a bite. My tongue is like, get that mess out of here, and I'm like, okay, you know, that's fine. But I keep trying stuff. Have you tried really his horse riders dip that, like, with like meat? Yeah, I hate that he ruins good meat like that.

Really? It's got two things that I just, my tongue is like, no, mayonnaise and horseradish. And I'm like, I can't. I just. You don't like mayonnaise. Or horse rider? No. But when you mix them together, it makes one of the most magical.

No, it's not like gin and tonic. You put two terrible things together and you get something out that's okay. No. The old man-aid and horse red is out the door. See? No. I'm going to disagree with some. But I try it.

I at least try it. Every time I'm like, let me get a little scoot. I'm like, nope. I don't want to ruin that deer station. Still ain't got it. I like everything that I didn't like before. Like when you get older, you start. I'm that way with a lot of vegetables.

As a kid, I was like, no. And now I'm like, yeah, cabbage and, oh, you couldn't have paid me to eat that. Like New Year's, I used to dread New Year's because we had to eat cabbage and black-eyed peas. Black-eyed peas are not good. What? See, that's a false statement. I love black-eyed peas. I said it.

I was the same way. And now I look forward to New Year's Day because I'm like, I love cabbage. I love black-eyed peas. I will say back in the day, I'm over at Papal's house. It was like, come over here on New Year's and cabbage. Yeah, I love it. But I do love cabbage now. See, I didn't like cabbage either, but I love cabbage now.

But I've always looked like peas. I like peas. Maybe I should try it anytime. A lot of that is who cooks it. That's true. Well, that's true. Because I've had like, you know, you know, they just, they can't cook. It's just plain and simple.

Well, I think about 90% of it's between your ears, too. I'll try peeve. Well, I think mentally you're like, I don't want that. I mean, if you smell like cooked cabbage, It don't smell great. And if you can't cross that bridge in your mind of like, I bet it tastes okay, that don't generally happen until you get a little older. Yeah. That sniffer, that sniffer a lie to you, though, on some stuff.

You're like, man, that don't smell good, but boy, show tastes good. Yeah. Now Brussels sprouts, man. Oh, man. I could eat my weight in them little cabbages. Godly. Hold on. We eat a lot of brothers.

Well, especially the way Lisa cooked them. Al, Al and Lisa. Well. So good. A lot of butter. A lot of cheese. butter and bacon make anything good and bacon. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, they took Outback's cheese fries and made them in a Brussels sprout. Yeah. Kind of defeats the purpose of said Brussels sprout, but, you know. Willie's, like, obsessed with asparagus right now. It's like every meal, we have asparagus, too, which it is good. I like it, too. Yeah. My kids all like asparagus, which is weird.

That's good. Yeah, at their age, you probably couldn't have paid me to eat asparagus. Except for Ben's. He don't like nothing. What does he eat? No, he don't eat. That's why he's so small. I keep telling.

I'm like, he's like, I can't wait to play football. I'm like, you're going to get a whoop because you don't eat nothing. You don't eat nothing. You better be a kicker. Meanwhile, Carter and Lottie over there eating salad. And I'm like, y'all are weird. You can't get nobody to eat a pizza with you, kidding. Well, everybody eats pizza.

Number one rule to live at my house is we going to eat pizza about three times a week. And we're going to eat it from anywhere and we're going to make our own. We're just pizza people, Martin. Hey, I'm with you. I haven't had one I didn't like, really. Except for that thing Willie did that time with Blue. cheese on it. I was like, that's dumb.

No, I do not like blue cheese. That is something I don't like. I don't know where it's forte. And I love cheese. Me too. I love cheese. Well, that's blue. Blue ain't a color in cheese.

Anything. Light or yellow. Anything that is just the texture. The only thing I like with blue cheese is that I say light, likes a strong word that I can eat is when he makes those burgers and puts the blue cheese in them because it like melt. out and you get a residual flavor but you don't have the overall funk of it. Yeah, I still can't do it.

But he balances that with purple onions. So it's like, okay, yeah, this is cool. Like, this is fine. This is okay. When it's just a chunk of blue cheese, I'm like, but again, I try it. I try to make sure. The smell factor. Yeah, it gets about right there and it's a rough deal.

I don't mind like blue cheese dressing on like wings. Yeah, but have you ever heard this thing called ranch? Yeah, you're right. That's dumb. They're like, blue cheese or ranch? I don't mind blue cheese, but yeah, go ahead and bring out a ranch. Let me tell you my strawberry story. Strawberry?

Yeah. Why do you just have this? I had a big garden, okay, you know, and then I had my strawberries, okay, which was like a flower bed, and I had just a wonderful bed of strawberries, and I'm watching them. Okay, and they're getting ripe, and they're. I'm just dying to bite into them. So I'm checking them every day. So the wife comes up to me and I said, well, I think I'll pick them.

I'll pick them today and we'll have strawberry and shortcake and whipped cream. So we go to town, get the groceries, and when I drive up in the yard, there's about 20 cat squirrels. Oh, no. Run out of my strawberry garden. and the little suckers ate every one of my strawberries, all of them. I declared war on. So how quick did you have squirrel and gravy? Oh, yeah.

I did declare war on the squirrels that year. Yeah. Okay, because they did not leave me not a one. I had a little weenie dog, Merlin. I remember Merlin. Okay. I've got a garden tomatoes, and I've got one about this bigger round that I'm watching.

That's like a softball. Oh, no. Oh, no. Merlin was pretty chunk. Tomatoes. Oh, okay. Okay, so he goes out in the garden with me after every afternoon when I'm picking my, my pepper and whatever I want to pick to eat.

Well, we both look at the stupid tomato. Okay, so I said, okay, today's today. I go ahead. I just grab my salt shaker and pepper shaker, and I'm going to the garden, and I'm going to the garden, and I'm going to sit down and eat that tomato. Right there. Yeah. That's all.

And when my wife sees me, grabs the salt and pepper shaker, she starts laughing. You know, and I said, what's so funny? Oh, no. She said, you're a day too late. And I said, what do you mean I'm a day too late? She said, after you went out in the garden yesterday afternoon to get your peppers and what you wanted to eat from the garden, Merlin made a return trip and sat down and ate that big ripe tomato, you fixed to go get. The weenie dog ate the tomato?

He ate my tomato. What? Except for he was your pet. Me and you've been watching this tomato together, and then you go out and eat my tomato. And that was the last dog, Si, ever owned. Hey, that's it. He became a cat. You went to cats after that?

That make you move to cats? Yeah, maybe move to cats. He's a cat guy now. He's a cat guy now. Oh, my goodness. You know, Christine said to Wade, it was so cute. Anyone out there and sit down in front of us. You know, and he would look toward the house, you know, and he would look at the Nevada.

Then he couldn't stand it. He just went and took a bite. And then he sat there and ate the whole thing. All that was left was the stem and the core. He ate the whole thing around it, you know. I went there and looked, and I said, I'd have killed him. Last year in our garden, John Shepherd, we had these little peppers. And they, you know how peppers are, like, not hot really until you get to the sea.

you know and he would pick them straight off thing and just start chomping him he's like one and a half and he loved them and then he'd be like watching him you know to catch him before he got to the seed so he wouldn't and i mean just right out there every time we'd go out he'd pull him off and eat him and then every once in a while he'd get to the seed and his little face and the eyes would be watering but he'd go back in he loved him it like that it's john luke's child if i've ever seen one that's true he is john licks child it did not scare him off he'd keep going back we're about to have sweet potatoes. Really?

Yeah, we planted a lot, and I think it's about time, huh? It's about time to pull them. It should be. Yeah, it should be really close. You'll know when the deer show up. Yeah, true. True. When do you pick strawberries?

What is it? Early summer, I think. Yeah. Oh, I'm laying off. Like June maybe or something. I don't grow nothing, but I go to people's places that do grow them and pay them to just pick it up. Yeah, right now, the way my kids feel like their gardeners. Generally, the only thing growing up.

right now is like sweet potatoes and then people that have planted their winter stuff like lettuce and pumpkins didn't do the winter stuff yeah the i i remember growing up oh man that smell what smell pumpkins no my grandmother was big into wilted salad straight straight from the garden like like the greens from turnip greens oh good grief and the fresh lettuce and and all of that and what and she put bacon and boiled eggs, which I'm like, yeah, that's cool. But her dressing was like a hot vinegar dressing, like to wilt that lettuce whenever you pour it on there made with the bacon grease and vinegar. And I just remember to smell a hot vinegar being all throughout that house.

I'm like, oh, man. Martin, not a vinegar, man. No, if she'd a slathered ranch on that thing, she'd have really had something. But she did, yeah. Well, collard greens is another one. I wouldn't have eaten that when I was a kid, but now I love them. Yeah. Yeah, there's a, there's a hierarchy of greens.

But it depends on how you... Collards are my favorite. That also depends on how you cook them. I would just fix it. That's the person that, you know... Yeah. You got to clean them. If you don't know what you're doing,

you can't eat them. That's true. But if you know what you're doing, you know, I can eat a pot of them. Oh, yeah. Kay is one of them that can always out of cook them, and I can eat the whole pot. What's your favorite green?

Collards, mustard? Any of them. All of them's good? Yeah, I like all of them. I cook them. I'm collared. Then turn up and mustard is my least favorite out of all the greens. But that shouldn't be a small.

Not a big mustard. Another story, Germany. Okay. They raise a lot of mustard. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, you don't, you know, me and this guy's deer hunting. And I told him, I said, hey, look, there's a little old buck out there,

and he's out there about 245 yards. Do not shoot him. Okay. Well, the first thing here is, tic-t-a-ya, wop. You know, and then I look, and he's out there walking. in the mustard field. Well, we're not thinking. So I found out, yeah, hey, get out of the mustard field.

So he gets out and waits on him and come over and he said, well, hey, I got to go get the deer. I said, I told you not to shoot him, dummy. I said, now, I said, I know exactly where he's laying. I said, because I've been watching for the last two weeks. You know, see that weed over there that's darker than all the mustard? She says, yeah, I said, he's laying right beside it. I said, so now, let's go out there and get him and drag him out.

Well, we go out there And hey, mustard, you know, they make mustard gas out of it and use it in war. Oh, my goodness. So, hey, me and him go out there about 100 yards in this merchant field, and we come back and we are blitzed. What? Hey, yo, and when we tell the owner of where we was hunting,

he said, oh, no, no, no. He said, when we harvest it, we got to wear a gas mask. Oh, my goodness. So then when I walk, we walk out and look, and we're all high. Y'all. The side of all that I know got high off of mustard and drunk off Mountain Dew. No, no, look here. And you look and it's like.

It's like when it's real, real hot in the summertime, you can just see the fume of the heat. Uh-huh. Well, hey, when you looked over that mustard field, you could see the gas. Oh, no. Y'all. We went out there and was there for like 30 minutes going, you know. So, hey, yeah, we come back stoned on mustard gas. Wow.

It's scared the owner. Don't, no, no, no, no, don't do that, you know. We have to break gas masks to harvest it. That is scary. Could you see the gas before or after you've seen it? Oh, no, no. Yeah, you could see it. Like an idiot.

We just, you know, didn't have no sense. Walked out there and stayed out for 30 minutes. And then I wonder while we're floating. Walking above the field looking, what are we doing up here? Oh, Lord. Well, let's take our last break. We'll get in that mail bag. You got something for Corey?

I'll find us something. Beautiful. All right. We'll be back right after this. Hey, everybody. We're back with Corey. And Corey, I got a weird one. And since you're my cousin and I've known me since you were, were you there when I was born?

I'm sure I was. They were all over there. It was exciting times when I came in the wall. That's right. Well, you remember how I used to have to do the nose spray because I peed the bed? Did you pee the bed? So you were like nine? Oh.

Thanks for saying nine. That makes me feel better that she didn't. say the real number. What was a real? Timeout. Probably nine. Well, anyways.

That's a common affliction. Okay. It is. Don't know about that, John David. You can't help it. Well, we got an email. Anyways, if you need advice,

email us in, hello at duckcallroom.com. If you have a cool story, email us in at hello at dot callroom.com. But Nancy emailed in, and she thinks I have the actual medical condition. Because Willie makes fun of me because of how much I have to pee. Well.

You do pee a lot. Okay. So she said I might not produce some hormone. What is it? I'm looking. It's a very long email because she's like smarter than me. Is she a doctor? She worked at a doctor's office.

Okay. She knows something. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, she's worked for endocrinologist. There it is. There you go. There you go.

And so something clicked and she said I should go see somebody, which I might because this is weird. because I'm going to end up getting dehydrated and pass out. Well, we don't want that. I know. I've been there. But I was like the weirdest email we've ever got. It was like, you have an actual medical condition, John Davis.

So I was like, going to pay attention to this one. I've heard of that happening for. People like notice things on people like a lump on their neck or something like that. And then they have cancer and they notice it on TV. So you need to check into that. All because you teach to you a lot. Okay. Oh, there it is.

If I would have been on this podcast back when I had that thyroid problem, they might would have noticed where Willie didn't say anything to me because he thought that I was growing an Adam's apple. For real. That's what he said when I asked him. This was the doctor? No, no, no, Willie. This was all right.

This is far. This is, this was years ago. So I have a scar because I had my thyroid taken out because I had a lump, like the size of like a golf ball on my thyroid. And all of a sudden I'm like, oh, my goodness. I said, Willie, have you noticed this? on my neck and he said well yeah but i didn't want to tell you because i thought you were just growing adam's apple willie robertson that is really what he said did willie ever learn how adam was

spelled did he think it was like a t oem he said he said i thought maybe when women got older they just grew adam's apples i'm like really i said if you ever noticed he said i don't want to make you feel bad about it so he thinks it's like one of like one of them old ducks that all of a sudden go from a hen to a drake because their colors go from hen to drake because they quit producing hormones you just all of a sudden yeah all of a sudden if you ever notice a lump growing on me please tell me like don't don't worry about making me feel bad about it please tell me so yeah so i go in the doctor and it's like the size of a golf ball which i don't even know how i didn't notice it either so i guess have willy been sitting there just watching it he said yeah he had seen it he was too busy

swimming for all them fish he'd lost to say i'm like have you ever noticed another woman as they got older growing Adam's apple? No. He pays more attention to you. That's true. That is wild. He said, I just figured, you know, y'all got older, you start, what? At what level does that make sense?

I never took biology. That was for Martin. Yeah. Well, man. Anyway, I'll be on the lookout. It did end up being a tumor. It was benign, so it was fine. But that they took off of my thyroid.

It was not an Adam's apple just for, Just to clarify. Just to clarify. And so if you look at your wife and you notice that she's starting to grow in Adam's apple, it's probably not. Yeah, it's not. It's most likely not. You might need to go to the doctor and have them find out.

Hey, what's that big knot there? Yeah. Listen, you just got permission from Corey to tell her. Yeah, you should tell her. Bring that up. You can tell your wife things are uncomfortable. All right, I got another one. What's that?

Okay. This one's from Allen. Alan's a little young, but he told me that he agrees that the new Jurassic World was the worst movie ever. So I'm going to read his email because of that. Have you seen it? I haven't, but I did hear it wasn't that great. And that made me sad because I love all the Jurassic World. You love all the Jurassic Parks.

And by that we just mean the first one. Anyways. I know. I like Jurassic World. Me too. The first one was okay. Actually, it was really good. Anyway, Alan, thank you for your thoughts on Jurassic World.

The third one, it does stink. But he's asking a question. And you've had a lot of kids in your time, his age. He's a young man. But he wants to know when the perfect age to date is. You're not there yet, Alan. That's my hint. The perfect, I don't think there's a perfect age to date.

No. Everybody's different. No. I started in first grade. You know, Sa, I got his first grade. He got his first kid on the bus. I did. In the first grade.

That's it. I always been a ladies man. That's right. Hey. And it was the. bus driver is wild. Oh no. No, I'm kidding.

Then the bus drivers got away and had separators. Y'all are bad. That is bad. This is, this kid is asking a legitimate question. I know. She was just too fine, boys. Perfect age to start dating 22. What?

That's Martin's philosophy. I will say, there is a, you know, there's a lot of people that think you should just wait until you're a lot older. Clearly, we didn't really do that since we got married to 18 and 19. So we didn't really, and with our kids, we didn't really like give a specific age. It just kind of was when it happens. I do think that dating is just part of life and you learn what you want in a relationship and what you don't want a relationship.

Some people are like, don't date until you're ready to marry, but I'm not of that persuasion. Well, no, no, because that's just like, okay, they always comes up, tell me, okay, well, you know, how old do you need to be if you want to be baptized? It's different for everybody. That depends on how mature the individual is. Yeah. Okay. Because like me, I'm 74 and I'm still a kid.

Okay. There is no maturity in me. Since you're saying he needs to wait, how old is my man emailing us? Well, no, no, no. He's 12. He's 12. He just went through a little heartbreak. I didn't want to, like, and so he kind of tore up right now.

But my man, you're 12. Like, if I'd end up with a girl I liked the 12. Hey, look. Well, I let me just tell you something right now at 12. Heartbreak and you think you're struggling. You are living the prime of your being right now. You got nobody that depends on you. You can talk to mom and daddy go hunting.

You ain't got a bill to pay. Enjoy yourself, son, at 12. Yeah, and not only that, the ocean is full of fish. Lots of them. Okay, lots of them. So do not worry. And lots of them eat people. And you got to figure out which one you like.

Big ones, little ones, weird ones, quirky ones, yeah. Mean ones. That's what I found out I was into. Hey, they're all there. She don't listen to either. They're all there.

Okay, so hey, look, wade through them and take your choice. Take your time. And be, you know, choosy, be choosy. But my man, at 12, you got a lot of life left to figure out. Yeah. Whatever problem you think you got going now, trust me, it gets worse. You're not giving anybody hope. You're like the problem.

No. That is, that is absolutely hope. The hope is you're in the, you're living right now at 12. You got nothing to do. Enjoy yourself. Like responsibilities are at a minimum.

Last podcast, Corey, I said, I said, Sa, what have you, like in your, he has a degree in life. Took him 74 years to get us.

I said, what have you learned? Well, life sucks and it's tough. We're not. We're just spreading the good news. On the other side, it's also beautiful, okay? And at times...

There we go. Absolutely it is. It'll take your breath away. That's right. And other times, it'll knock you down. What I'm really saying is at 12, don't sweat it, my man. You're 12. Like, enjoy what you got.

But middle school years are hard. They are tough. I wouldn't say... Especially when... It's a prime of your life. You know, you... That's a tough time. And we had the real Jurassic Park, and you're dealing with this.

this junk. But, hey, let's say this, from 10 years old to 18, okay. There's a lot that changes. No, no, and that's just my humble opinion. That's the best time of your life, okay? Because number one, you're going to be surrounded by people that you're normally going to spend 10 years with, okay, going to school with, you may fall in love, you may get married, whatever but you know you're young you're full of it you feel good okay you feel

you got all the energy in the world you don't know nothing okay but ignorance is bliss that's right that's right you don't know what you don't know that's exactly right so you look like barton's saying hey dude live it man live it live it okay live it and have a blast because hey you ain't got any cares or why Woes at this time in your life. There ain't much to sweat at 12. That's all I'm saying. There ain't a lot to sweat.

All I'm saying is I'm liking 48. Oh, I love 37. Feeling pretty good right now. Oh, I've loved my whole life. See, that's right. I'll say 33 was way better than 13. Yeah. But you got a good life at you.

13 I kicked my feet up and didn't have a lot of worries. There you go. 33, I got to work a little harder. But I will say this. That's an old ball roll. This depends on your perspective. There you go. That's right.

Okay. So take it all in. Okay. And then like I said about our history, you know, take it all in. Keep what's good. Throw away what's trash. There you go. Wait for the Bible verse side.

You just teed me up and I didn't know you're going to say that. Well, hey, well take us out. We do it and send us all that. Because we talked about gardening. That was, that possibility. podcast was wild by the way fishing gardening whatever we wanted so i got you a gardening one but it's funny that you said throw away the bad and i had this pulled up john 15 one through four oh we pruning oh we pruning baby i'm the true vine and my father is the gardener he cuts off every branch in me that

bears no fruit while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful you are already clean because of the world because of the word i have spoken to you remain in me as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I love it. And there you go.

I love it. Look at that. That's good. Well, Corey, thank you so much for joining us. It's good to be here. Yeah. Thanks, I feel like this is pretty much just like what y'all do anyway. You just put the in the department.

Yeah, now we record it. Now you just record it. That's pretty smart. We were never working. We were just hanging out. Exactly. Y'all just figured out a way to like just. let the audience in.

And I'll leave you with this. I'm not going to confirm it. The world says there are no absolutes. Just what JD read is proof there is absolutes. If you remain in Jesus, you will bear fruit. We'll see y'all next time right here. Take that, put it in your pipe,

and smoke it slowly and enjoy it and live it.
