Unashamed with the Robertson Family - Ep 366 | Phil's Theory That Women Who Hunt Will Save America & an Unusual Opinion on Phil's Health

Episode Date: October 20, 2021

Phil notices that more women are getting involved in hunting — a sign that there's still hope for America. Jay Stone and Nurse Chad drop by the podcast, and Chad shares his unusual opinion on Phil��s health. Jay recalls how the family met Chad and why they instantly got along. He also explains the challenges of managing the land and creating a habitat for the animals they like to eat. And Chad talks about why he believes that "iron sharpens iron," an adage that makes him want to be around godly people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I am unashamed. What about you? So I'm back. I was gone last week to Massachusetts. I've never been to Massachusetts. It was my first time. It was so funny because some of the listeners in the note because I mentioned that I was going to be there. They were like, what are you doing going behind enemy lines? I mean, you know, you're going to, what's going to happen to you? I said, well, just people, you know, they invite. me to come. It was really interesting, though. So I mentioned it on the podcast, and it's a little bitty

small church plant, and the guys from the south, but he just felt led to just, he thought, you know, I can't go anywhere in the south. There's, you know, churchhouse on every corner. Well, there's a churchhouse on every corner up there, too. But it's just like Europe. They're hundreds of years old, and there's like, you know, a handful of people in their way. The body in them. No, they call themselves the Frozen Chosen. That's what they tell me that they were. So it was really interesting. But so, you know, we lit a fire owner. Melissa and I did our thing.

And we did a podcast up there, which was pretty good. They call it theology on tap. They do it like in the front of a little tavern. And it was really interesting. But there were, so I mentioned on the podcast, so there were at least five or six different people. One young woman came. I think her name was Nikki. She came from Maine, Bangor, Maine, which is like a five-hour drive.

She had a little boy drove over and heard us on Sunday morning. and then drove back. But they were all Unashamed listeners. Another guy from Cape Cod, some guy from two and a half hours away. So I know you guys listened. So I had a great time with you guys. And Unashamed Nation is, it's just all over the place. You think about it just being a bunch of rednecks.

But it's... We baptized five yesterday. The artist baptize them. And after they heard the message, and I went from the... I got your nose out, the parable of the... the sword and just told them that that is like when you read that that is exactly the format and you don't get it they say get the Bible out of my face give you a cursing and they leave

every once in a while 25 30 years later they'll show back up and say I was wrong right I cursed you trying to tell me about Jesus I thought you got to get a good cussin first you need get a good cut some I said well I didn't hold against you I said look I'd actually forgotten who you were. I said, but now that you're back, how were you when you came down there? Well, I was 19. I said, how old are you now? It's worth 44. And I said, well, you know, your face seems a little familiar, but I really, I've forgotten you. I didn't know. He said, well, I just won't let you know, I'm back. I was wrong. I had a little bit of, so there was a, the guy that invited me, he had put it on his Facebook that we were going to be meeting for this podcast.

And he got a note back from somebody, I guess, that follows him. I don't know. Is how Facebook works. But it said, why in the world are we having a homophobic anti-woman person up here talking about me? I was like, you don't even know me. You had to explain to him. You were married to women. Yeah, I love women.

I want in particular. I'm not anti-women. Good grief. Anti-woman. Homophobic. They didn't call me a racist. So I guess that was, at least they left that off. For all you men out there that try to convince me that you're a woman, I'm not anti you.

I'm just saying you're a bit confused with biology. I don't hate you, but trust me when I tell you, when a man claimed he's a woman, that's a step, one step too far. You call that, I think, depravity? Well, confused is right. So that's a perfect lead in to introduce our guest. So we sent out Jace as we do from time to time just to gather stories. So this time we actually sent him out of the country. He's in Greece.

He's in Greece. And so there is no telling when he gets back what all has happened to Jace. I looked there, Corinth and Athens was right around there. Then I just saw Corinth was right below Athens right there on the coast right there. When we were there filming for the movie, we were driving and it was so surreal. because you're driving on their version of interstate. And I look up and it says Corinth, you know, exit 53. Yeah.

And I was like, Corinth. I mean, it's like, you know, you just don't expect to see that when you're driving down. Just think about the clientele there that the Apostle Paul was working with. Let's face it, it was a pretty wild place. He was there, all them ships coming through there with all these, you know, the ship landings and produce and whatever they were shipping, you know. But it was a happening place there. No, it was a buzz.

Oh, yeah. And Athens was no more on the intellectual side, but Corinth was the commerce. I mean, it was all the fishing business and all that. I'm really looking forward to hearing a J's report on Corrence. Surely the history of the church has to be there somewhere. Oh, it'll be a good one. He won't run out of stories. No, but look, we're not, we're not being an nurseman here.

By the way, our. We have Jay Stone, let me officially introduce. We have Jay Stone sitting in Jay's seat. so I expect him to be. Now, I'm not near as smart or as intellectual as Jace is, but I promise you, I will let you talk and I will not talk over you. It was so funny when I was in Massachusetts, the guy was like, this guy listens to our podcast,

he was describing it to someone else who hadn't listened. He said, yeah, it took me a little while to get used to the way they talk over each other. And I was like, he said, but once I figured out, that's just the way they do it, I was bad. So it was just, we're kind of. rude. So Chad is a, or nurseman. Nurse man. Everybody's got a nickname. That's right. Or a last name. So Chad, you're a nurse man. Nurse man. Because you are a nurse. Nurse practitioner. And you,

so every entourage has to have a certain skill sets, right? That, I mean, if you're going to have people. Well, the way we view it in 1750 through about 1,800 along in there, when they were selling the country, if you had that particular skills, set that Chad has right now. Yep. You made no bones about it. You're a doctor. Right.

You know enough to wear an airman, you're a doctor. I haven't seen a nod on my leg and I said, that thing bothers me. And I showed it to the nurseman because you show that to doctors. But to me, he was top of the heat. So he was down in his. He's the only one in your spear. He said, I get a couple days. I come down there.

We'll take that out. So a couple days later, he said, put your leg up here on the table. I laid my leg up on the table, you know. And he said, let's see here. Took a magic marker and drew a circle. I said, hmm, that's the unusual. I said, I never seen a doctor with a knife in one hand and a magic marker in the other.

I said, hey, maybe he knows what he's doing. He made a circle, and he did follow that line, right, right, perfect. So he just cut around plug and just pull, pull the fatty tits. What do you call them? What was it? A little cysts. A little subcutaneous cysts, you know. Yeah.

So he just made a circle around it and just lifted the meat out and sewed it back up about five or six little stitches, you know, came back for a couple of weeks and cut them out. So, Chad, well, I asked him, I said, you want me to numb it? And he said, no, I think I better numb it, you know, it's going to not be good. Oh, so you did. Maybe you did it. I mean, it was a circle about the size of a nickel. And I thought, well, you know, I'd take anything.

It ain't going to be that bad. I don't know. You cut a nickel out of me. I want some. What about you, Jay? And it was a nickel worth of flesh that left there, but I was prepared to just suck it up and say, you know, Phil's got a reputation for not taking any kind of painkiller

or not ever being put to sleep for anything. Any kind of tablets, period. Well, I wasn't going to be known for torture to Phil. You get past, I won't know it, Omega XL, and then I'm saying, no, you don't go on too far. Fish all, okay. What about, what about this? You, rea, yeah, yeah.

I said, What about blood eating pills? They try to get you on that for a while. What are you talking about? I tried it. And I got down to the last one in the bottle. And I said, it's goodbye to you and wherever the rest of you.

In the trash can, I went. I said, that is the roughest thing I've ever done. Take a pill a day. Some kind of blood eating. They said I got too much blood in me. You know, which I don't know.

It's debatable, but that's what they say. It depends on who you have. I said, Doc, who's the one that came up with and said how much you're supposed to have? I said, where did that come from? He was looking at me. I said, who dreamed that out on they know how much each individual on planet Earth, how much blood they're supposed to have? And he said, research.

I said research. I said, so a bunch of researchers got together and decided like it's looking at a car engine, they've got a, you know, you pull that stick out of your engine, and you look down there and they say he's supposed to have this much. Well, they said they got that figured out with a human being when it comes to blood. I'm just not all in on that.

So they had some sort of dipstick. Dipstick. They were measuring that with. Well, yeah, you give them about this must. blood and a little vial and some woman walks off with it she walks back in there and she'll say 48 and I'm like 48 I said what should it be and she said 45 so you're three points high yeah well sometimes you go and now they say 51 ooh got to get some blood out I said well people in the Himalaya mountains and Eskimos they have more blood than us right how do they get more blood and they're still Cadillagin and they said well higher elevation they said your problem is you're not an

Eskimo and you don't live in the Himalayas so you know what those numbers mean oh yeah what do they mean I'm following him but you know what is that 48 the level well what's it's your hematocrit they go off your hemoglobin and your mytacrit depending on how much you got in your body and you got too much on average the world average I guess is what they're looking at 12 to 14 well if you got around 15 to 17, some people got to get it drawed off. So my question was, what if I don't do anything? It's best to take these pills.

What if I don't do it? Well, they say it's risk for, you know, heart attack or strokes, too thick, you know. Which is a little bit harder. 13% higher change. And you're not exactly a heart healthy eater. I would think I am. I eat deer. I eat chicken and like Clint Eastwood before.

me fried so chat i got enough so you've had patients you know because you at one time you worked at two different hospitals and so you see a lot of people so where does where does a person like dad how does he fit into you see people every day with illnesses and obviously they're coming in you do a lot of er stuff so a lot of it's you know trauma stuff but how does dad rate on a patient scale of... I'm 75, so what about 10? Just in general. People like Phil just come in dead.

They just don't go nowhere until they die. They come in. Okay. And you've seen a few, right? Oh, yeah. They're not going to come in. You can't tell them, you couldn't tell them that they was something wrong with them or they was dying if a car hit them.

They wouldn't listen to you. I've always thought that was the case, but I had to hear from a medical person. Confirmation. I just have numerous, but there's a few Bible text that says 70, if you're lucky, and 80 if you have the strength. And you're 75. I'm 75. So someone says, well, you better start taking all this medicine because if you don't, you're going to die.

I said, oh, let me give you a news flash. I'm 75. I'm going to die physically. I said, I'm more into the resurrection of the dead than the doctor's pills. They said, well, this here keep you a lot. and, you know, a long time, I'm like, not that much longer. I said, I'm 75. I said, my day is coming up probably a little quicker than, you know, 65, 55, 45, 45, 25, or somebody 5.

So the bottom line is physical death without the resurrection. I say this with all sincerity. I have nothing wrong with the medical profession, but me personally, I trust the God of the Bible. more than I do the medical profession. I'm just, my hands, I feel like, are in his hands, not theirs. And I feel the same way. And I always have, which is, that was my approach to the pandemic. I was like, okay, I'll try to do, I don't want to protect people and I don't want to

help people to get sick and die if they don't, you know, are worried about it. But I never was worried. I didn't worry about any of it. I didn't spend one minute. I sit here at 75. you say, did you wake up this morning and have any kind of headache, a cold, an ache, a backache, a pain in your...

No, absolutely none. There you got. So, you know, I'm 705. You say, well, how long will you go? I said, I don't know. But if I made it this far, with very few peals taken... You're not going to change it, right?

I'm just thinking, why not just... You're right. You're just like, Mom. Let's take a break Because mom never takes pills right now Yeah What are you talking about He's a walking pharmaceutical

So So Jay tell us Tell our audience It was interesting The way that Chad got here Because I will say this Oh yeah Chad

I mean he is not a one-trick pony No No The medical side is just a bonus I mean this man can do a lot of different things So tell how he how we got here. It's good that he is medically trained because our hunting crew, as they say, is getting

long into tooth. So it's good to have a guy around that knows what he's doing medically. But the way it all happened was perfect because Burrell, I'm sure the audience has heard a few Burrell stories. Early day. We actually showed, didn't we show the deer cam picture of Burley that we thought it was a Sasquatch? But it could have been a Sasquatch, but it was actually Burley.

He looked like a Sasquatch. No, yeah. So Burrell comes up. And he's a nurse. Yep. Burrell is a nurse and worked at the same hospitals, Chad. And Burroughs said, oh, a friend of mine in the hospital, you know, I'd love to bring him down here and carry him hunting.

And we're real skeptical of when Burley wants to bring somebody hunting because the eyes of that human being, I would say safe with a shotgun is what we're looking for. It's not, you know, 50-50. And we don't, we don't, not many people will hunt with us. I mean, it's just kind of our little sanctuary. You got to be, you got to be vetted, you know. It's hard to get in.

It's a dangerous game we play, you know, but, uh, so anyways, Burrow brings Chad and, you know, we get to talking. I thought he seems like a pretty good old boy, you know, he comes again. Everybody likes him. He's a nurse practitioner. Miss Kay needed something done and he fixed her up and he burned. You burned yourself somehow and you called me up. I don't know if you remember that or not, but you burned yourself.

You called me up, said, hey, I need something for this burn. Oh, I burned myself. Oh, that's right. I remember that. Burned yourself. So anyways, you know, we got to be friends. And I thought to myself, well, this hand here is a way more valuable character than Burley is. So Burley brings them and then the chat has replaced Burley now as their medical guy.

And now, you know. Burley's only here part-time. That's right. Burley lives in Colorado. He comes during hunting season. But, you know, me and Chad, we're just, you know, regular running a meal, hardworking, God-fearing country boys, you know. And we love to get out, work the land, and sow seeds.

Yeah. And we like to watch the deer herd grow. We're trying to manage the deer herd. It's been about four years in the making out. Things are looking up. He passed on an eight point this. morning, does she feel a little dough? I had ordered from headquarters this morning and get some meat.

I said, we call that the deer tithe. That's right. You always? They've done a great job because, but I was wondering at some point back in the past, I said, one of these younger bucks going to step up and help me out with all the, you got the, you were the complete land manager for the first 20 years. You've got the food aspect.

Yep. If you're going to have a bunch of property and you're a hunter, you come up with stuff that deer like to eat. Yep. Our squirrels are ducks. So you've got the food regime on what you're going to plant. A lot of things, the Almighty plants it. So you look at it and you say, good night, that's sprangletop. That's smart weed.

You know, that's nuts. That's ducks eat that. Deer like that. So you have to ascertain what you want to add to. that to help the food situation for everybody involved over there. Coons got to eat like all the rest of them. So it said from coon to squirrels to ducks to deer, you know, whatever, coyotes, hogs. You like, which one we're going to feed? Which one we call the undesirables? So the food regime, then the duck blind regime or deer stand. I mean, you look at the deer stands

and the duck blinds over 1,600 acres. I mean, it's a lot of work to get all them put in the right spots. Food plots are not food plots and feeders and, you know, coons, coon-proof feeders. We've got some of them, you know, Coons are trying to, one of them other day on that one that Phyllis and Tony hunted. She said, the coons tried everything they could to get over in that deer feeder. He said, we know that feeds there. We just can't get in that. So somebody had a masterstroke and built a thing.

that a coon can't get in well that's good luck finally one a coon got out there and got it on a limb on a tree over there above it but the limb started giving way on him before he got out on the end of it he felled and hit the ground he's like no can't get in it from the top well that's good you know it's working that's right well and that's i mean you're right dad they helped me with all these they food with the deer side of it when for all those years for all those years it was mainly just ducks for you and us and then Jay is kind of ushered in and now with chat helping with the whole deer management side of it so it's I mean what's what would you say as the state of the our property now I mean it's I would say it's a paradise yeah it's a paradise um everything looks really good with

what a what I was planted this year well you planted rice for everything for ducks for ducks we it's a it's a pretty cool story uh we had rice flown in on with an airplane and two inches of backwater. And I'm talking to my buddy Brad, who's a farmer up in Arkansas. He step by step. Rice farmer. Here's what you do. Here's what you do.

So I followed it to a tee. We had the rice flown in, two inches of backwater. Well, we got Phil, it came up with the scheme to pump the water out there. The only way we could get it out was to back that tractor down there and pump it out because the silt had done, got so bad. Over the years. Over the years. The only way to get it out.

was pumping out. So we got the water off of it just in time. And a week later, we went out there and I said, good night. Look at that. That's the prettiest crop of rice I've ever seen in my life. But unbeknownst to us, me, it was spangled top. It was not rice. But it only came up where he dropped the rice out of the airplane.

So we thought it was rice. Yeah. Where did you just get water? within this far of the muck, mud. Well, I go down and pump it, and I'd go check after every night. It's about the fourth night I went up there to get that two inches out of there. I just kept pumping. We had to dig a whole little pongo pump back in the back of a tractor.

Finally, I saw mud and saw more mud. I said, it's about 65% or 70% silt, mud, muck. And I said, the rest of it's a little bit of pools of water here and there. Stone said, I'd do it. I think a lot of it was rice, but we didn't realize the wrath that was coming up on us. And you can tell that story. Well, and also we had the prettiest stand of Japanese millet down that pipeline you've ever seen. From one end to the other, solid millet.

Is that something you plant as well? Yes, we planted that with the track side by side with a broadcaster on the back of it. We planted that in the muck. So when you plant something in the muck, you don't have to fertilize it. It's rich, fertile soil, and it comes up really fast. So a lot of moisture. So three days go by. I go back out there to check it, and it ain't there.

That millet. He saw it when it was this high. Yep. Just everywhere. For those you listen, that's about three or four inches he was shown. Yeah. So I go out there and check it. No, Dan, Dan calls me and says,

you planted your mill it too thick it's it's gone i said do what it's it is it gone he said just gone i thought they planted it too thick so much of it comes over it's too tight too thick too thick so i'm like no i said it's it's it yellow brown what is it he said no it's gone like it's gone i say you see any army worms he's like oh we didn't look for army worms so i was getting the truck run out there i look and i look on the ground i see two of them crawling a hole was everywhere. The Army worms ate, what, 25 acres in three days? Good grief.

During the rains. So all that crop gone. So speaking of regimes, somebody just fired up something outside. Is that red? That's Jimmy Red Gibson, who's one of us. I think, say, what in the world is that? Somebody running his chains. Well, he had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

He was working on that accident. Well, he made the cut because he has a skill set. Got to have a skill set for everything. He can drive a bulldozer, a track hole. He can put axles in four-wheeler's in 15 minutes. Which is what he was doing out there? He put an axle out. I said, Red got a couple of axles going.

I said, put one in there. So he went out there. And I saw him all ago. So he's a man of many talents. Yeah, he's like Red. He's ironically. He's heavy equipment operator, somewhat of a philosopher. but if you drove by his house

if you drove by his house you would not stop and say I think I'd just walk in there and tell him who it. No. You wouldn't slow down. No, you speed up. Speed up. Let's take another break. Well, he's like the red on Shawshanker Redemption. He's a man who knows how to get things. Oh, he knows how to get things.

It's turning loose. The only problem is they ain't hit. But you said, well, how do you get a man to do all of the work where they put, he fixed that, put that axle in a while ago. Well, if you'd had to take it up there to the four-wheeler place and all that, oh, for an axle, probably, you know, six, seven, $800, something, whatever, to replace that. But I walked by and gave him a little check there, you know. Yeah.

Because he's the one down there. We're making a new duck hole. You haven't seen that yet. We actually made two of them. One of them's on a little slew, the Twin Oaks duck hole. It's a new one, brand new. We just thinned out a little timber along every edge with a little creek. We're going to dam it up.

It's already got the dump on it and all that. We're going to flood that. Last year, I saw it. I've been seeing it the last four or five years. Wood ducks by the scads, just load it up. So it's a wood duck spot. The other one, we're trying to get for big ducks. We're cleaning out all the thin brush and all that old thick brush,

undesirables, privates, swamp, you know, plants. We're doing them. and where we just leave big timber where grass are growing there. So that's part of the sewing. Well, it's a pretty, it's a beautiful, beautiful thing. Big trees, big virgin timber. We're copying what I saw 53 years ago, north here about 50 miles.

My brother and I, me and Tommy, walked out there from, we were Louisiana tech students. And we asked some old guy where the ducks were, and he sat up on the prey. And we found out later that the Germans came and cut them up trees for whiskey barrels, put them on barges, went all the way down through Jonesville and come in, the chaffelah.

They came up that way to get all the way up here back in the 30s. That's when they cut that. But they cut it and they spaced out them trees. And when we pull up there with 10,000 ducks, just raining down on that thing, it was at sprangletop. Water was about that deep, eight inches deep. And I said, this looked like it's illegal on here.

I said, good. He probably is now. Yeah, it is. Now you can't set foot on it. Wherever you kill a bunch of ducks, the government shuts it down. It's the government boys. Oh, yeah. The government bought it.

So I'm trying to recreate that same image with the scattered overcup, with the scattered oak. So we're taking out all them thinking, I'm going to make a place. It's about probably 25, 30 acres in the middle of the woods. the sprangletop will come up on its own. We'll monitor to see if ducks can eat it because I'll see it next spring when the backwater, when the backwater finally comes and goes,

we'll look out there and whatever the almighty planted, if ducks can eat it, we'll leave it. If it's undesirable as a not duck food, we'll disk it up and plant something that ducks eat. Well, we got a pretty good food regime going this year, but so going back to the, the army worms. So the army worms decimated everything that we planted for ducks. Decimated it. So almost overnight. Is that ever happened before? Yeah, yeah, they've got us

before. Okay. Oh yeah. Phil, Phil had a bunch of corn get. I had a corn field and I checked it two to three days later. See how my corn was doing. I had a little rain. We pulled up there and the guy that planted it with me, we looked and it was just a bare field. Well, when we left it, it was about eight inches tall. It was corn. So I said, is this the spot we planted the corn? He said, this is the spot. I said, well, the last time three days ago, this was solid corn from one end to the other.

It was a pretty good size swat there. And I thought, where did the corn go? I said, surely the deer didn't eat every stalk? I mean, it wasn't like three stalks on the head. It was obliterated. So we got out there and the guy, his dad was a farmer, and he went out there and scratched around the dirt, and he came back and he showed me them army worms.

He said, Army worms. I said, they ate all that corn within the last three days. He said, oh, they can do it overnight. They moved through there like an army and just decimate it. We sprayed it, and I didn't try that anymore. I didn't try a corn out of you. I plant it with something else, but I learned a lesson about.

about army worms, they can decimate a crop overnight. So when you read in the Old Testament, when something would come through there and wipe all the crops out, you see now how it happens. That is real. So you start adding it all up, you say, okay, that's gone. Let's replant something. Try to get, so that's the food regime.

Then your duck blinds, getting them brus, make sure they'll float the floaters, and the ones that are in the thickets where the water comes over them, we'll refurbish them, you know, some boards right out, used all treated stuff, but backwater rough, you know, beavers have come in and where you sat in a duck line, six men in a thicket, two two but twos, you're standing on two tube of twelves down at the bottom, and you're sitting on one two by 12 like a football bleacher, but we came in the other day.

I checked one of them, and the beavers had eaten the whole top tuba 12. I mean, where you sit, the beavers ate it out. I'm like, I don't guess it gave them indigestion. stuff to treat the ton of timber there ate the whole thing the two but twopoils ain't cheap these days yeah but now going back to that army worm deal so they the army worms got our crops so we decided not to replant because it was late just to go in there and bush hog and and hope the almighty sees fit to replace it with something that duck seed and he did well lo and behold the army worms ate all the rice in the lows well guess what come up spangle top the army

worms ate all the millet on the higher ground you know what came up purple millet natural millet purple head that it's a good millet the better than Japanese millet yeah so wherever the army worms got us the almighty saw fit to to bless us with the real stuff well that's pretty almighty's grain crops are resilient against army worms that's right they won't eat his he's got something in there they won't eat them But if you take something off the market and you buy the seed and you go over rice and all this stuff, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, it's, the chances are you're making a crop. Yeah. It's pretty tough. Some years you make it, but most of you, no.

Well, it's interesting because you're, you're like a plague. You're, you're planting crops that people eat that, that they feed farm animals and all that kind of stuff. So obviously it's a whole different ball game. But, you know, would you have ever thought any of y'all, that you would turn into farmers one day? No, no. In essence, that's what you are now as your farmers. That's right.

You know, but your farmers are game. Being a real farmer. And your income depended on all. Think about you, you know, that your livelihood. To feed your family. We do everything but harvest it. The harvesting takes place when the ducks come. They eat it.

We're planting them food. So they'll say, well, let's try that. That's pretty good food supply over there. They start to gather up over there, you know. So we hit. and run. We hunt them here one day. We don't hunt there the next day. We move a mile away. We hunt way down there. Well, after we hunt that a day, we're watching all the time. Well, then we move over there. So every day is trying to outsmart them on where you're going to hit

them because the more you hunt them, the scarier they get. So it's just. Well, and that's another big change. Let's take another break. That's another big change, Deb, because back in the day, we didn't have any property. And so we, at least what now is the core over at franklins which is our next door neighbor down there and we we leased the pothole is what we called it but we hunted there every day because that was the only place we had to hunt that's correct i mean that or cypress creek it's called burning it out it's too much gunfire that's right and you know so you would have a day where they'd come through and you'd get them on a flight but it wasn't like they were staying here remember i mean you'd go

stone started working with the deer management idea and it's about the fourth year so yeah yeah but we saw it you know used to if you put a food plot out there you know a little small plot you know you look out there late and eating you might see two or three deer show may not see any but now on the average when y'all go out there they y'all see 30 40 50 they're seeing bucks walk around and broad daylight what about the you had to hunt with uh with bk and sack because the veterans and the youth can hunt early here with a gun oh yeah louisiana there's a week, usually three weeks before rifle season opens, that they allow youth and veterans to hunt with a rifle.

Which is great. I love that. Oh, yeah. The deer, they don't have their guard up quite yet. I found out this morning it's up now. They know something's going on, a bullfraw done wreaked havoc over there. His 13-year-old daughter has killed more big bucks than most grown men. That's right.

She's little Miss Dead Eye and no shaking and, you know, I'm nervous. No, she just leans down, you know. Well, she was going to meet us at the beach last week and 13 years old, you know, and so before she came down, she went home with her dad and shot a big old six point. Oh, yeah. About a seven-year-old bruiser, probably 110-inch six-point. I mean, it's a giant six-point. And she told me.

A true trophy. She's a classic Robertson because I said, well, I said, well, I said, well, your dad got a nine, point on the same month she said yeah but mine was 230 pounds his wasn't even 200 well for stone's past so the competition was there the almighty did on behalf of stone and he did the same thing with the nurseman because of their past shenanigans he he he gave both both of them a house full of little girls that's it good it's like a plague that had come up on no little boy I said take duck on them, so they looked up, and one of the little girls stepped up. I guess that's what happened to me too.

One of them stepped up, and all of a sudden we find out this little girl is a deer slayer. So Stone was like, well, it could have been worse. At least you got one killer out of the group. I am truly blessed. She bakes cakes and gets them ready for you, you know, and she'll get her in there, put a little whipped cream, you know. But she actually bakes, and Ms. Kay taught her how to cook and make baked cake. She's a deer slayer.

She cooks. So she's a prize catch. She's super unique because her two sisters, her younger sister or older sisters are major drama queens. Yeah. And they're just, you know, typical girls. No, no, no, no, no. They're just typical girls. And although Sages, you better watch her because she'll come up and sluggy.

She's one of them kind of kids that catch you without looking, you know. By the way, there's an undertow movement going on out there in these United States of America. They've tried everything else, but they've. They finally reached down into the hunting world, but there are more and more females beginning to hunt, whether it be ducks, deer, whatever, you know, fish, hunt or fish. Yeah. So there's still hope for America. Which I'm saying, bring it on. That's great.

The more of the mayor, the more hunters you get, the better. Phyllis loves it. I mean, she didn't get to hunt her whole life. And so yesterday they scouted Phyllis and the artist she married. You know, he's an artist. He's got these artwork. You can see it on the internet. Tonythomasart.com.

They just sat there. They said they just watched and the deer came right out and they were the one telling me about the coons. She said one skunk and one coon played around out there for a couple hours, you know. But then the few deer showed up. So they came back all excited, you know, like, boy, hey, what old old stone put us on a hot hole. And again, it's a classic robber's a woman because she told me, she said, I mean, she, the last, time they were talking about going hunting she was just chewing tony out about being too noisy in the line and she was like if you can't be quiet just stay home and i was like well there you go that sounds

like a well that's what that's what it's about for me you know our families our wives get together and and and they they have a good time together our kids they play good together but when i come down here you know i do get away from the hospital but also uh you know you get in the woods but you're around guys where you know the bible says iron sharpens iron that's right and and and to me you know seeing these bible studies and and and seeing how engulfed in the word that y'all are it's an inspiration to me to you know try to better myself as a christian father and a christian man and to do better for myself and for my family and that's why you know i enjoy coming down here so much you know not only do i get to work the land and be a part of that but you know once again iron sharpens

iron, you know. You know, and that's, that's, I was going to bring this up. And this will talk about in our last segment because you, I mean, that's, it's not a requirement that you're a godly man when you come here, but it's a requirement if you're going to stay around that you're going to become one. Because that's, that's all we do is, is God and the Bible. And you're a deacon at a church right close to where we live, where Jay and I live, great church. I love, I love Greg, your pastor, he's one of my, except for being an Alabama fan. I mean, which I told him, everybody has to have something, right?

That's right. That's just one flaw. We had three or four from Alabama. Yesterday we were baptized, but they came all the way over here. I said, I forgive you of all things, including, you know, being all in for old Sabin. For Sabin. I said, Sabin met his match. I said, I never thought the old guy, you know, the old guy at the N.

We love you, Roe Thai people out there because we know we got a ton of them to listen to the podcast. So we just have to gig you just a little bit. That's it. But, no, Chad is a young buck, too, compared to the rest of us. Yeah. You know, he's only in his mid-30s. Right.

And, you know. Which, by the way, I don't know a lot of deacons that are your age. So that says something about your character and your maturity. Well, his work at the, he works at the millennial age? No, no, no, no. I think he's one above one. Yeah. He doesn't have one.

Cut off is. I don't claim them. No. I've lost track. The one doesn't lay a glove on the nurseman. No, no, no. He's a go-good. Let's take our last break.

So I wanted to talk a little bit about, since we've been talking about, you know, working the ground, we were in, I don't know where Zach took you guys last week, Dad, but we were in Matthew 13 somewhere. And I wanted to talk a little bit about it because if you notice, every parable that Jesus talks about here has something to do with what we all. love to do, which is really interesting. I mean, it's a farming, most of it is farming because he talks about the weeds and all that. But even the fishing, because he has one about the nets, there's one about treasure hunting, which, you know, Jason's big into that, not as much the rest of us.

But he, the thing is, kind of what Chad mentioned a minute ago, Jesus begins this sort of new style of teaching when you get to this point. Like up until this point, he's just been talking about the kingdom, straightforward. Same stuff John the Baptist was talking about. about here's what the kingdom but now I was said just remember this is just prior to him saying you turn two pages or so three pages and you're aware from that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples they that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things that the hands of the elders chief priests and teach them all well three chapters earlier he's He's arguing with him.

He's talking about the Lord of the Sabbath, enter through the narrow gate, starting about chapter 5. But he's preparing them for what it's like to live as the kingdom of God on earth. But the motivation is not there yet. And they're arguing with him. You're doing what you're doing by the power of the devil and the parable of the soul. He said, most people don't get it. Their hearts are hard.

He was pointing to them. He said their hearts are hard. But all these things are leading up to the announcement, look. I'm fixing to save the world by my death on a cross. Three days later, I'll be raised from the dead. When he said that, the disciples just looked around like, what? They had no idea that he was actually going to do this. But the announcement didn't come about midway.

Now, I agree. And I think this, the reason, because there's a reason why he started using parables. He hadn't done it up to this point. And he's just, I mean, he's just like, literally like he's looking around him. Yeah. And you're seeing stuff that's going on. He's making these spiritual applications. but the people are like, what's he talking about?

And especially the leaders, they don't even know. So I think the whole reason was because now you got the opposition, which is what Dad's talking about. And then you got people who say they're on board, but for all the wrong reasons. They're seeing physical Israel rising up. Think about it, Al. He said to him, he heals a guy on the Sabbath,

and they got all fired up about it. When he did that, here's a guy with a shrivel up hand. He'd been that way all of his life. He runs upon Jesus. Jesus heals him. Check this out. He completely restored, was completely restored, just as sound as the other. But this was in chapter 12, right prior to what you're talking about, the parable of the sore.

But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they may kill Jesus. You're like, are they ever missing it? Yeah. But not realizing that by them killing him, which they did. It saves the world, including them, if they would repent, like in the book of Acts, said, you kill the author of life. And they're like, oh, my goodness, what are we going to do? They were cut to the heart.

You mean by murdering him, it was going to save us? Peter said, now you got it. They were just devastated. About 3,000 were baptized that day, and the kingdom started. It's amazing story. It ended up the ante. And then I even think that last little bit he adds in there, Matthew does about his family, shows you how much opposition he was really facing at this point.

Because even his own family didn't get it. You know, they were like, they thought even miracles wouldn't work. No. In fact, it hadn't worked. No. And he's fixing to go through a whole series in the next chapter where he talks about how all these places that should have been listening to him. But the hearts were bad.

And so I think that's the purpose of the parable is to get to the hearts. And it's interesting because in the parable, that's exactly what you're looking at, is different hearts. Soil is heart. I've watched it for the last 50 years presenting the gospel, and all I'm doing is waiting on the response to see what it's going to be. Most of them, most of them, when they hear the message about the kingdom, and they don't understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart, this

is a seed song along the path. You say in your, my, my work over the last 50 years when I came to Jesus and I presented Jesus to people because it affected me so much, you say, overall, the largest group by far says, nope, nope, nope, no. A few trickle back and say, my bad, I was mad at you when you whipped out your Bible here, in the middle of nowhere down there. But now you were right. So what happens, Jay, when some seed winds up on the road? If I don't run that harrow over that seed and cover it up, and we've all seen it, a swarm of birds descend on it.

Oh, yeah. And they will get every bit of it. So do not broadcast your seed without covering it up. That's exactly right. Which is his point. He uses that as the snatch away. It never gets a chance to even grow at all. We don't have a problem on planting on rocks,

but we do have with a lot of kind of different water regimes. But that second person is Rocky Pleasured, the man who hears the word once receives it with joy. Good night, that's it. I can get out of here alive. But since he has no root, the seeds are in the wrong spot. It lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes,

like what happened to me here four or five years ago, national news, some guy said, do you believe homosexual behaviors of sin? I quoted a verse that said it was, don't be deceived, 1 Corinthians 6, 9, and 10. But I didn't give them 1, Corinthians, 6, 9, and 10. I just quoted it. You know, don't be deceived.

And I answered the guy's question. Well, you'd have thought, they did the same thing to me that they're doing right now to Gruden, just attack him no matter what, attack him. So sinners begin to attack other sinners and they pass judgment on each other and it's just a free-for-all

everybody accusing everybody else of sinning, sin and sin in and sin in. You say, would you ever done a little sinning in your life? Yeah, well, I mean, it wasn't as bad as that, and there you go. You asked at the original cancel content. That cancel culture hadn't quite gotten going to it. They cursed me and treating me like a dog,

and I was sitting there thinking, the guy asked me a question. I just quoted my Bible verse. but it took this bunch in America, the news media, three weeks to figure out it was a Bible verse. You lost a lot of sleep over it too, didn't you? No. I just thought, well, I just love them and move on. What's interesting is that any time, like, if someone's wanting to do a hip piece about you or the family,

that's what they lead with even now, all these years later. So, oh, well, this guy. Even the little bit I got in Massachusetts was just because I'm your son. because they don't know anything about me. You know what I'm saying? If Jesus performed, if Jesus performed miracles and healings and they still hated his guts and were trying to kill him, I said, why would I want to rise up and try to make a big,

the guy asked me a question, I gave him a Bible verse that answers the question, and I moved on. And I didn't go back, I never looked back at that. I said, well, they got sponsors that were sponsoring us, you know. They ax them, you know. They tried the best. That's just shut us. down, but we just moved forward and said, Jesus number one, you know.

So the third one is the, obviously, the stuff that comes up around it, chokes it out, and is compared to the wealth or, you know, anything, really, that gets in the way. Wealth or trials. The seeds are choked out. Yeah, we see that. We see it when that undesirable come up in there, stone. And you're trying to kill that off, but keep your good stuff, right? We don't want coffee beans, but we do want millet.

That's right. What about it? And I said, well, you know, spread or whatever, but I don't like that spray. I don't trust it, you know.

The Stone said, well, we'll just bush hog the whole mess. I said, I don't know about that. They said, well, so he volunteered me to do it.

You know, the but the buttwillers, ducks don't eat them buttwillers, but the buttwill is about three feet tall over there. And on a dare, they said, what do you think? I said,

I try it. So they bush hogged it. I looked after all they bush hogged all the undeserables. I looked to what. replaced it and I said that was a stroke of genius you boys come up with I said that worked oh but what i didn't tell him a week after we bushed hog it i went in there with the spray rig and sprayed all the undesirables so they wouldn't grow back yeah so you did it that's what happened you got to turn it over that next generation's right that's it all right well we're out of time uh chas good to have you

it's always good to have stone on so keep planting you get to that good soil that's what we're Keep sewing at sea. That's right. That's exactly right. Thanks for listening to the Unashamed podcast.
