Okay, boys. What have we been up to? Five, three eyes of blue. How about you? Y'all been kidding anything on the rice fields? We're killing a few. That's what we're doing. We're killing a few.

We're scratching them out. We had a good day. the other day, what Friday, we killed 35, one short of a full limit. Y'all gave up? All these boys got where they did they bird washers. No, that's the day y'all. Is that the day y'all shot all them woodies?

We killed 18. We killed 18, full limits of woodies. But, hey, we had a lot of gadwalled and mayards too. Mayards? Mayards. It's a milder day. No, it's been a strange start. That's for sure.

We've had a good start. Canvas bag. Yeah, a little bit of everything. Widgin. Yeah. Kind of a smorgasbore. We got a couple of model ducks, though. Oh, y'all killed, huh.

No, we ain't killed none of them yet. Yeah, I went ahead and snuck and do pop me, a big old Drake. Old dope pop. That's something. You know. We've killed two big, big black, black myriad drakes a couple of years ago. It's a lot of 10, 20. But nobody's bragging.

A couple years ago, all been by 10, 20. 15 years. Yeah. Them are normally stay on the coast. Yeah. But they messed up and come down here.

I went fishing Friday. Did you catch any? You betcha. Did you? Where at? I pulled it up. You go to the garth? I went to Darbonne.

I said, you went to a garthole. Yeah. And I was fixing the backup and this guy pulls in. It's like, it's 930. I said, do you don't got you limit? He said,

connoisseur. Crappy. Cropy magnets on them and smoked. Huh. I think he was pulling my leg. Yeah, he was being a little. Yeah,

no, I wouldn't waste my time out there. It was just like us. Yeah, we're killing a few. Oh, yeah. No, he was trying to make me lead.

You got to watch a duck. You got to watch a fisherman and a ducker. Yeah. They will lie to you. You don't ever show you a full hand. And boy, them fish is in that channel and they are hungry. Are they? They in it or they on the edge of it?

The big ones are on the edge. Yeah. Up on that pole timber. Yeah, typical. But you get in the middle of that channel and you can catch all you want. Yeah. You went through their spider rigging. You'd be giggling like a bunch of school girls.

No, I've done that. That means you got to go back and see Johnny Dee for a bunch more of them expensive shiners. Amen. To it. Hey, men. I sold a bunch of shoddies this morning. Yeah. Yeah.

The wide is about 18 foot and the bigger ones are about 14 foot. See, I appreciate God when telling people how to catch. There's a bunch of people that get all nervous about telling other people how to do it. You can't. Like there's enough that we're going to run out of fish somewhere. He can't catch all the fish out of dog. Was you above or below the bird? I was right below it.

See? He was right below it, boys. Telling everybody. He didn't say which bridge. Hey, that's it. This is true. There's a couple of bridges around there, boys. But last week I was up above Highway 2.

I know. I'm going to take this time to give everybody a fishing tip in the winter. Go get in the channel and just look for the people. Well, yeah. That's where they are. I try to get away from them. I do too. Get in the channel and look for people.

But if you'll treat it like comer ants and just go out there and be in a big wall. Look for the foltilla, boys. Hey, the flotillas. Yeah, there's a few bigger fish up in the morning. Yeah. Yeah, there ain't nobody going up there. Yeah, when you see about 40 boats together that you can just walk on from one to the other. That's where you want to fish.

That's where you want to fish. Yeah. That's why they all there. Okay. Fish are bite. Thank you. Or either they are they having a like a tentany who get together. You really get together.

I called a bunch of black crop. Oh, he called a bunch of black crop, boys. Look at there. Ain't that something. Most importantly. On Darbone. How'd you cook? come.

Well, Miss Paula wanted mustard on them, this time. I usually put the sour cream on them, but she wanted mustard this time, change it up. He usually sour cream. I put them in a, I cut the filets off and put them in a big silver bowl and salt and pepper. A silver bowl just for honor them. Well, you can work. You can work. Yeah, that too.

But you can work better than a big silver. Do you get it from our friends at SD Bullion? There you go. That's it, boy, that. It's an expensive bowl there. Then I put mustard on them. Mix it up real good. And then I put, I take some cool ranch Doritos and crush them up in a Ziploc bag.

What? Cool Ranch Doritos. Cool Ranch Doritos. Crush them up. And mix it in my flour. That's right. Not cornmeal. Flower.

Yeah, that's it, boys. And put it on there and mix it up. Doritos? You better. It gives them a crunch. You don't have to do that if you use sour cream. Sour cream crunches better than mustard. Uh-oh.

The base. Martin, can you confirm or deny Doritos and your fried fish? I haven't done it, but I've eaten his. It's way better than them flaming hot chicken nuggets from Applebee's. Well, I ain't most things better than anything you can get out of Applebee's. And I ain't ever even tried the things from Applebee's, but every time I see that commercial, I'm like, no, that's a gar. That's a mega guard

The only reason I'm going to Applebee's Is to look at goofy stuff on a wall Not to eat Yeah Oh, it's cool It ain't goofy stuff Hey let's go get kicked out of one What you say

Hey You'll get kicked out That's them boys Been talking about them I don't know that I've ever Eat that apple bees But I'm interested in Dorito fish No it works

You've never done it? No I've never done Dorito fish He ain't ever caught no fish That's below the Oh whoa whoa whoa That's below the border of fish. He shows up whenever they're ready. No, I cook plenty of fish.

Now, I might not have caught them. Tell Big Dave. Tell Big Dave next time when you cook fish, say, look here, Dad. Here's what I want you to do. And just see the kind of look he gives. No, I ain't telling me. No, cornmeal on Cravee, that's sacrilege. Hey, I got to disagree with you there.

But I grew up with cornmeal eater. Yeah. I mean, I saw them. I'm all cooked. He put cornmeal on catfish and such. I don't know. That cornmeal on that crap is good. Guy,

we're going to have to agree to disagree on that one because I've eaten more cornmeal-fried crappie than most humans. Yeah. That's the only way I cook them. Oh, no. I'm a meal friar. I like it.

He's a meal-friar. I didn't know nothing about mustard fry until I run around this point. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know nothing about it. Scared to change. I ain't scared to change, but I change anything up in a heartbeat. Here's what I know.

If it ain't broke. I don't fix it. You ain't got to go fix it. Well, don't do it then because you'll show get my head. Oh, it's good. It's good. My problem is this. I'm still confused by the Doritos.

No, that's good. Is it? Yeah, that's solid. Okay. Yeah, it gives your flour something crunchy. Border food. That's what that is. What is border food?

How come when we four get together, it always ends up? We always talk about eight. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what 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 tritels beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robertson would say buy on the grill look before we got tritels getting ready for a cookout man

somebody had to run the grocery store do all the things grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day and you never really know where that beef come to him but with tritels beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with

who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbyes on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. the tenderness and the flavor are fantastic.

So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails Beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to tribeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families

and eat some dang good steak. Oh, it ends up in a way. I was going to ask you about that. I was going to ask you about that. How did you crab boil, Brian, turretsy? turkey turn out. Son, there ain't none left.

That was awesome. But look, I didn't make the bones. I went ahead and I boiled it for 15 minutes. The crab boil? Yeah. And then cut the heat off. And then turned it off and let it soak all night.

Yeah. Now, you don't eat a lot. But you didn't put your turkey in while it was boiling. No, I stuck it in there and brought it to a ball. Yeah. And then killed it. Yeah. Yeah.

Gotcha. So you boiled the turkey before you cooked it? Before I put it on the turkey? smoked. I shot it up. I don't know. He drugged it, boys. Paulo shot it up with a bunch of stuff.

What's up? They drugged it. Probably Creole butter. Injected it. It was a little Tony Charragus. Yeah, it was something. I just don't know which one. My turkey at Thanksgiving ended up

the dessert turkey. It wasn't quite ready. It was awesome. How big was it? Bigging? No, it was small. I talked to all these people had some mega turkeys. That's all they had.

Really? At the store. My own was 13 pounds. It was perfect. Oh, I had two birds. I had, I had turkey and wood ducks. Oh, yeah, we have woodies. Woody's until you tell about good.

Apparently, though, there was a normal-sized turkey shortage, so all they had was giant turkeys. Yeah. And I forgot I was supposed to cook a turkey until about two days, no, two o'clock in the afternoon the day before. Thanks, yeah. Oh, good night. You didn't even have time thawed out.

I think that's why I took a minute. That first little smoke was a bit of a thaw still. More of a defrost. So I left it on that. But yeah, there was like five turkeys left at the store, the little tiny one I got, and then like. Megas. I mean, straight ostriches. Yeah.

Guarge you to look at him. I couldn't cook eggs. My father-in-law texts me. He said, you know, six hours down. Or no, he said, yeah, six hours down four to go. I said, Hammer, that thing's going to be like boot leather when you get off there. He said, well, it was 24 pounds. I said, that ain't no turkey.

That's an ostrich. And emu at the least. I mean, 24, it took him 10 hours to get it to 165 in the breast at 250. No. Now, we got to try something else. No, at some point, at about 120, I'd have got the peanut oil hot. And that thing would have went from the smoker to the friar. But a 24-pound bird, you're going to have.

I had that big old pot and get him out. 24 pounds too big. Yeah, that's a dang big. That's a mega. One of them big old black ones with them three legs on it. But now we get to just focus on preparing for Christmas menus. Oh, yeah. What we're going to do for Christmas?

I don't know. Maybe we'll get into that here in a little bit. Godwin, we went out there by your house a night. I honked a horn when I went by. I heard. We went to the candy cane lane out there. Oh, dear. Went and saw the Christmas light.

How was it this year? I thought it was pretty cool. I liked the duck hunting. has that been out there? The duck hunting scene. They got a duck hunting deal lit up in Christmas tree lights. That's what I'm talking about.

No, that's new. Got a little duck flying across the fire in the redneck. And then got the guys shooting the shotguns. In that back curve? Uh-huh. Corrine. What is it about Christmas light?

It is fun. I don't know. I love it. I stop and look at them. I mean, I don't really like putting them up, but I love what looking at other people. I've thought about going hardcore next. year like crazy.

On Saturday I come in from Duck Hunt and Paula had the Christmas tree up. We got ours up. I said, already. It's past Thanksgiving. Now there are no rules. Some people are rule breakers like me and go before Thanksgiving, but now it's game home. We had them down Friday and everything. Everything's wild.

There's stockings hanging on TV staying. Yep, that's that time. Christmas is here. One for the dogs. Yeah. One for the dogs. Yeah. Yeah, our dog got one too.

Jonah. Does sweet pee have a stocking? I don't know. What? That'd be Christine's deal. Well, you sit there and look at it every day. You don't know if there's extra stocking for sweet pee? No.

If you went home and sweet pee wasn't around, would you miss her? Yeah, because he misses me when I go out. No, no, I'm serious. As soon as I get home and walk in the door and sit down in the recliner, I just plop. He's in my lap. There you go. And I'm looking at him saying, hey, he always,

because if I don't pet him right away, he'll do one of his numbers here. He'll look up and tell me. Yeah, yeah. That's it. Your hands broke? I said, what's your problem? That's right. I said, what's your problem?

Yeah. He'll go put that head and that hand. That same thing my dog does. as I walk in. She's waiting for me. She's antsy until I sit down so she can jump up there in my lap. Tell me all about her day, I guess.

I don't really know if she's saying anything or not, but that seems to be what she's doing. That's thinking Roger we got, he gets in your personal space. Roger? Roger, yeah. Yovins got a good string of dog names. Roger's a dog or a cat?

Well, Alabama gives us that dog the Rogers. So we named him Roger. We got it. But he wouldn't bark when we first got him. And so we called him Roger. That's Kyle's silent partner. But now he barks. He barks like crazy now.

Who's a solid partner? Cal. That was her big blackout. Cal? No, that's the Cal's solid partner? Retter. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

What was it? Lance? Todd. Todd. Todd. Todd. A big Todd. That was a good dog.

He was. Todd was as solid as I'd go. Roger. He was a biscuit eater, but he was a good one. Ever since you mentioned that your dog sits on your feet while you're on the toilet, Martin, people keep sending me pictures of the dogs on their feet, and I don't need to see that. Are they on the toilet?

Yeah. Oh. Pants down. One old boy's dog sits in his underwear, and he sent me a picture. I see, that's just a little too close. Yeah. I'll put it up on this screen, sir. That's a little too personal.

It got weird. It got weird. I was just scrolling through emails. I'm laughing. While I was on the toilet. I'm laughing because I don't know how many times I've sent a picture to Brittany of my feet covered by a dog on the toilet. I'm saying, come get your dog. You want to see it?

Come get your dog. Come get your dog. That man sent me this. Let's see. Let's see. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I've seen that.

I mean, that's not a real man's dog, but. That's a Snapchat, too. Why? Oh, man. That man. sent me that. That's your dog. I'm not going to say your name, Taylor from Pittsburgh, so you don't get embarrassed.

He's a Steelers fan. I don't know what he is. He's from Pittsburgh, so he probably. He don't know, boys. He's a strange man. Or cats like that? The sweet Pete come in the bathroom while you're leaving yourself? Yeah.

Yeah, lay down on the floor. Why do animals do that? You're looking for a couple of minutes of peace and quiet just to get some business done, and they got to come in there and make sure that they're, everything's all right with you. Well, that man's dog was in his underwear. Yeah, and I say that looked like he put that one there. Yeah.

I don't know. That little teacup thing. Now, Jude just lay on top of your feet. She ain't trying to get up in your draws. Mm-mm. Well, the Jude too big. That wasn't like a real dog. Yeah, but see, Jude was raised around a bunch of shih Tzu, so she thinks she's Shih Tzu site.

She gets up on top of the couch. She, 50-pound lap, get up on top of the couch, on top of the recliner. her. Between, I don't know if she thinks she's a Shih Tzu or a parent, but that's kind of like the way she sits. She thinks she's a bird. Yeah, it's bizarre. I don't know.

See, and this guy said, I feel like this is inappropriate. But. But. Here it is. But. You got enough. But we're cool. Here's my dog lays on my feet in the bathroom too.

This is the pictures I get now. I just get pictures of people's feet on the toilet with dogs on top. And he's got a calf tag. Look at that. So he's probably from Pittsburgh as well. I'm sorry. Now, look, that hammer doesn't got comfortable. He took his shoes off.

He had planned on being there a minute. Yeah, I just don't. Who was that? He didn't say his name, but I'm Jason. That's Jason. Jason. My man, Jason. We're going to guess he's from Pittsburgh, too, although we have no idea.

No idea, boy. Because that's just what people from Pittsburgh do. Oh, Lord. We should take a break. We should, yeah. I don't know what's happening anymore. But I must say, keep sending them to Johnny D because that makes me laugh. Well, yeah, because I'm just going through.

And it's like, oh, a little child with their first deer. Oh, man's feet on the toilet. Yes. With his underwear down. We're winning. Luckily, the dogs are blocking the skid marks. Ah, oh, hey. Hey.

Hi. Oh, let's take a break on the skid mark. We're getting impersonal now. Skid marks, boys. Does anything bother you? Sire, do you pump gas often? Yeah. Do you hate just sitting there?

I drive a truck. Yeah, I know. But don't you just hate sitting there waiting on it? No, my age. You don't get shook up about nothing. You look around and see who's driving what. How many times the red light turns red. How many cars pile up this time behind it?

It don't bother me. Stuff like that. Half time at the gas station, I'm buying rice brand too. Oh, wait, I got to wipe this thing off. You got ulterior motives. I'm buying rice brand. You're thinking about something else. I'm buying rice bran and deer corn, so while that thing's out there pumping up,

I'm inside taking care of business. Are you allowed to do that? What? Go inside while it's still pumping? I don't know. That's what my gas cap's for us to hold that handle up. So I ain't got to stand there and do it. Got an automatic shut off on it.

It'll quit. I don't know the rule. Willie doesn't even turn its car off when he's pumping. I say I do that. I stay away from that static electricity. He says they don't do it in NASCAR. Well, he's right. But I notice that guy is wearing a far suit too.

A far suit, boys. I've seen that ground catch on fire when they leave. Of course, I hear the lug nut, make it spark. I leave it on when the Pau was in the car. Huh? I leave my car running when Paula's in the car. So the air will be going or the heat in the wintertime. I sent Brittany in for rice bran.

No tote that 50 pound bag out There you go She's young Yeah Strong too That little wire I was about the house I ain't picking up a 50 pound bag

Oh Bretton Oh if there's any Care thing out like a sack of tater If there's any deer feed To be needed She'll go in and get Uh huh She'll got riled up

Oh that deer hunting I tell you Good grief Ain't none of them say So what's Kind of tradition Do y'all have for Christmas coming up?

What do y'all do you know what? What kind of games do y'all play? You got any game stock? Well, we're normally, that's normally at Phil and Kay's house, and Ms. Kay is a game person. Y'all don't play Dominoon. No, they play all kind of goofy, gubernator. We play, we play, we have a cornhole playoff.

Cornhole playoff. Chunking them beanbags. Beanbag. Why did they name it, cornhole? because the bag is full of corn and he tried to throw the bag inside of a hole. Thus, corned was born.

We play left-right center. You ever play that? Oh, yeah, that's the dollar game. Yeah. I always lose. You know how we play it for Christmas makes it really fun? What?

Scratch off. Scratch off. Y'all play, y'all have scratch-offs. Scratch off lottery. You go buy the scratch-offs, and then somebody wins it. When they win all the pots, then they get to sit there and scratch off, see how much they want.

Well, that'd make a mess. Well, it does make a mass, but instead of winning, you know, $20, you have the potential. I mean, you could win $1,000. You can win $100,000. You're not going to, but you could. You're not going to, yeah, but I mean, it's always fun. I've always wanted to win $100,000. My mother-in-law gives me lottery tickets.

I've always wanted to get a big one and not tell her about it. That's one of my favorite stocking stuffers. Oh, yeah. Lottery tickets, scratch-off. I ain't going to buy myself a lottery ticket. I'm not either. I don't, they don't mean that much to me. But when they have the Christmas themed ones, I go get $20 worth of them,

water them all up, putting them in Brittany stock. And you get them, it's a gift. It's a good gift. It's exciting. Yeah. I enjoy it. Especially if you hit the big one. Yeah.

And Paula come up with this game called Know Your Relatives. Oh, that doesn't sound fun at all. That sounded dangerous. I didn't get around the table for that. I noticed they didn't play that one very long. No, you're relative. That sounds like a good way to go from preaching to meddling real quick. You don't want to get in on that bad.

We got it. So our tradition was always Christmas Eve breakfast. Christmas Eve breakfast. Everybody wakes up and goes to my grandmother and granddad's house. And has breakfast. And has breakfast. But my grandad passed away probably six or seven years ago. And my grandmother this year asked me and my wife to host it.

Oh, what a honor. Yeah. So she asks us at Thanksgiving. And so I was like, oh, wow. Because she's, she's 86 years old. and she was like, would y'all like to start hosting? So now the tradition's getting passed on, which I thought was cool. But my granddaddy used to make homemade donuts,

but he had to wake up at like 3.30 in the morning. So I might pull out a homemade donut. Uh-oh. A little homemade donut. Just like you going, hunt. Yeah, that's early. But I think I can make some homemade donuts. You know what grandma said, right?

She said, I'm tired of cleaning up his kitchen. Let's put this on somebody else. I've done help this job long enough. Grandma said, let's pass this on the line here. So we told her, I said, well, grandmother, yeah, we'd love to. We'll do it. And she said, well, let me know what I can bring. I said, well, you just keep bringing all the food.

And I'll just open up the doors. And she goes, no, I didn't offer that. No, we didn't offer that. That's it. I mean, every year is a full big pork chops, bacon. Wow. That's Christmas, how? Oh, yeah.

Okay. Christmas. Oh, house. Now it's out of my house. What kind? I don't know. We show up about 8.30. We'll be fine.

We'll be getting fresh or leftovers. That's fine. Hey, here's the deal with me. That'll be getting fresh. With her, that'd be leftovers. That's fine. We might push the time clock of breakfast back a little bit.

Y'all may start hosting Christmas Eve brunch. Brunch. There you go. See, I'm a brunch man myself. Welcome. Welcome to the Owens for Christmas Eve brunch. I do like brunch, though. And I like breakfast burritos.

He was on the show a couple times running the snow cone stand. He was just standing out there in line. You can spot him from a mile away. I'm surprised he wasn't out there. like spending a sign saying come on in. Rucker or a hustler now. He doesn't have that $20 to me $20. He don't care.

But he was in line to get some Denny's. I said it's Denny's. I like Denny's. I don't know if I do, if I don't, but I know I ain't standing in line to you. No, if I say a line, I'd go down the road. Yeah. You don't even have to go down the road.

Look, you know we believe in the power of prayer and everything. saying our friend Jim Shockey, his wife, has been diagnosed with late stage lung cancer. Wow. That has spread all over her body before they found it. So the prognosis is grim for sure. And if you don't know who Jim Shockey is, look him up. He is a figurehead in the hunting world.

He is a true outdoorsman conservationist having got to spend time with Jim Shockey is. and his family. Jim, he's a great guy, period, end of story. He is just a good human being. And so Jim, Louise, you are in our thoughts and prayers as you prepare for the battle that's ahead of you. And, you know, I just want everybody lift that family up because Jim has done a lot for even people like us for the outdoors and getting them a voice. So, you know, anyway. So if y'all think about it, lift the shock. family up they are really really good people so go ahead Jody D yeah um well we got quite a few emails in because we uh it's you know Thanksgiving break so we took a little we took a little break as well um but I was reading emails this morning and this one stuck out to me

because it said Johnny D hates casseroles he hates casseroes that's the subject line so I was like I'll read it and then it has nothing to do with casseroes That's good. He got you. That's good marketing. So since he got me, I'm going to read it. So it's Tyler from Selma, Alabama. He wants us to keep doing the show. Well, we will.

But he has a question about his duck calls freezing up during a hunt. Quit spitting it. Me and my brother have lost many birds due to a bad call because our calls freeze up. How do you keep y'all's from freezing? Thanks, P.S. Long live the Cut Down Magnum. Oh. Oh, somebody after my own heart talking about that cut down magnum now. I thought you'd like that.

All right. So how do you keep your duck calls from freezing? Tip one. Quit spitting in them. Tip two. Don't go when it's below 32 degrees. That's how I live my life. Tip two.

Look, here's what I do. I always, always, always make sure that the reeds are facing down when I blow. So if you do get any moisture, it ends up on your barrel and not on your tone board. You have to actually look at the call, but the way I have mine. positioned on my lanyard. That is the way I'm going to pick it up and blow it. There's no other way for me to do it. Tip three.

If it's been a while since you called, keep it in a jacket pocket. Like all our jackets, all your waiters, all have pockets right here around your chest now. Slide him in there. Let your body keep it warm. It'll keep that moisture from sticking and locking and there you go. And that is, if you're, I'll give you another tip. If it's your favorite call and you. use it a lot.

Check your reeds. The dimple may go on bad on you. Yeah, or the plastic got flat, lost memory, and you can bend it with your fingers and put a little more memory back in it. But because the dimples go down over years of use. I do this all the time, too, and just hunting. Like, when I get through blowing, I know if I just worked ducks and had to blow a lot,

as soon as we shoot and get them picked up and everything, I'll just go ahead and take my call apart and clean it out anyway, because I know there's a pretty good chance. So if you got a little downtime, just break it up and, you know, wipe it off, wiping on your jacket. If you got paper towels, those work great. But do that and just, you know, keep on doing it. Other thing we can do is send you some longer reeds.

They won't stick as bad, but your call is going to be a lot lower. So, you know, there you go. There's a bunch of different things. Well, there's the duck hunting advice for the day. And then we got two different ones I want to get to that are spiritual slash life advice. You've come to the right group of perfect men. is a joke. Zach from Ontario, Canada,

said, I'm probably reading this while on the toilet, and that's perfect. I don't get it. Are your feet warm? I don't know. Question, what advice would you give a young father who is new to the faith? I know all of you are mature believers, and most of us have children. How do you lead your family spiritually? I became a Christian four years ago and have two young kids, four and two.

he watches our podcast and the grown-up one, the other one that's filmed down the road. And he'd just like to hear our takes on raising a family in the faith and young kids in the faith. Your example is going to be the number one key to it. There it is. Consistency, okay? There it is again.

You've always, you know, most people have got the, I guess I call it Sunday items, okay? They only go, you know, they only worship Sunday twice a day. And maybe, maybe on Wednesday night. Maybe on Wednesday night. Yeah. But anyway, but hey, religion, okay, God's religion is seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Okay, he's there.

You know, my deal is, hey, raise your kids, take them out in the great, creation that God has given us, okay, and actually spend time and look at all the magnificent things he's created for us to use and enjoy. That's great advice. I wish I would have gone before you because my advice was going to be about church, and it was going to be take them every time, which was going with consistency. And it's more than about, you know, Sunday mornings and where you sit on a Sunday morning. and, you know, that's one hour of...

You're meeting with the family. Yeah, that's what JD is trying to do. That's one hour of your week, so if that's all you got, size right, you're missing it. But I do think it's important for your kids to know. I don't care what, like Phil says, I don't care if there's a million mallards on their way. You know what my parents...

Sunday, we're shutting it down and we're headed in. You know, my parents and grandparents did with me, too. They sat with me when I was those ages and said a prayer before bedtime. Oh, yeah. And they always, always, always made me say the blessing before we ate dinner. And those things kind of stuck with me. Get involved. Yeah, well, you get involved.

And it's a constant reminder of giving thanks and talking to the Lord. It's a reminder that's not, hey, go read your Bible or, you know, something like that. It's just like. You're supposed to be praying and reading your Bible. I need, I need you to memorize seven scriptures today. You know, no. I mean, it's just a constant way to keep it, to keep that thought. in their head the whole time.

Well, I trust me, as you go up now, like, if I stop and grab something quick to eat and I take a bite and I didn't say something, whether it be out loud or under my breath, I'm like, oh, you know, and here I am 36 years later saying that. Well, look, that's what I was talking about on consistency, okay? Yeah. It's real.

Yeah. Okay. Your grandparents, I've always said it because I didn't get to know either one of my grandfathers. Okay, and that's always really ticked. me off to the max okay because the grandparents give the kids something because they've already raised their kids okay and they've got time on their hands so they can spend time with their grandchildren okay and they give them things just what you're talking about mm-hmm okay remind them

okay because in my humble opinion okay there's not enough thankfulness and appreciation nowadays for what god has given us all Now, that'll preach. Yeah. I'm just saying, hey, that's me. No, I'm waiting. That'll preach right there. That will preach.

But hope that will help you there. Yeah, yeah. Consistency. There it is. I think that's the word that describes it best. I nailed it. They'll notice if you're acting the same way on Monday that you are on Sunday. They'll notice.

Yeah, man. All right. Last one of the day. Brody, 17 years old from a small town called Calhoun, Georgia. Holy. Almost one. Oh, he almost from old Guywins town. He goes to church, youth group, FCA leader. He thinks that God's doing a lot of work in the younger generation.

It's great to hear. He says some stuff. They just had an event, about 700 kids out there, 20 kids saved or rededicated that night. That's awesome. Brody, keep it up. But he has a serious question. He's an average churchgoer, loves Lord with all his heart,

but death scares him. he doesn't know why he knows he'll be in heaven but it's still scary to think about death have any of us felt that way or is there anything you can tell me to help me with not being scared of dying yes love the show let me give you my personal opinion okay me and my older brother feel are the last ones of the robinson family okay i've lost my father my mother two older brothers jim frank and harrell my older sister judy my younger sister jan okay you know i never thought i'd be able to tell people this okay because me and my mother were super close okay and if you'd ask me way back what are you going to do when your mom dies okay

here's what i know okay this is not a feeling i actually believe it and know okay i know where they went and look here's the best part i know who they're with and i know what they're surrounding grounded by and that would be the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Everything they've got is on the joyful side of life. Okay. And one of these days there's going to be a family reunion in heaven. Okay. And I'm going to see them again.

So hey, look, death to me, all it is is a change of address. Okay. So I Roberts in one of these days, I'm going to fly off of this earth. And I ain't no need no jet pack. I ain't no need no airplane. I ain't no need. It's going to be Jesus power. Okay.

And I believe that with all my heart, mind, and soul. That's why I try to live the life I live right now. Hope that helps you, buddy. Yeah. 100%. I mean, you know, I would probably say it's somewhat normal to be scared of death. I mean, like, don't think nothing about it. think that's something what he says he's in FCA's 17 you shouldn't have that figured out yet

man be a 17 year old like those days will come you still have a lot of time to mature a as a person b as a Christian you know I mean there's that that those those days will come for you don't try to rush it and you're on the right path young man yeah keep staying involved I mean stay involved stay active stay plugged in with everything that you do and you'll get to a point where you just honestly don't care if you wake up anymore because just like size said where you're going is way better than where you're at. Where you're going, who you're going to be with and what's going to be going on up there. Yeah.

It's going to be awesome. It's going to be undescribable. Okay. So I'll finish it up with the verse of the day, which is going to be kind of hit home with the last email. Philippians 1 Paul is in prison towards the end of his life and he says this

to the people in Philippi maybe for to me to live is Christ and to die is gained if I'm to go on living in the body this will mean fruitful label for me yet what shall I choose I don't know I'm torn between the two

I desire to depart and be with Christ which is better by far but it is more necessary for you that I remain here. Convinced to this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you in your progress and joy in the faith so that through being, through my being with you again, you're boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me. You know, Paul was ready to go, but he had unfinished business.

And so while we're here, let's make the most of it, but we all know where we're going one day. I do. I've heard that before. That's why I said it's a change of address. Yeah. Okay. There you go. We're going to depart from this tent we're in. I like that.

And go to a better place. A tent. We're going to go to a mansion. Hey, the best thing out of this tent. He's got a reservation for all of us. Okay. That's the way I like to look at. My reservation has already been made.

And look, it's already been paid for all of it. Right. Hey, one of my favorite things I ever heard right before we go, Everybody calls that the afterlife. But that's actually just life. Yeah. Right now we're in pre-life. Yeah.

Because we're going to be there for eternity. The real deal is coming up. Whatever this is, that ain't the afterlife. That's our life. This is just before. Amen. All right. We'll see y'all next time.

Let's preach, baby. And we'll see y'all next time. We go. We're out of here, boy.
