Hey, still got my hoodie?

[Ad Voice 2]

Nope. But I've got tonight's dinner paid for. Start selling on depop, where taste recognizes taste list. Now with no selling fees, payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply. See website for details.

[Hunter]

Are we allowed to play music on this? That. It's definitely not sanctioned by YouTube. I cannot start this podcast off with the beautiful noise of Leonard Skynyrd playing Free Bird for all of Canada to hear it.

[Goblin]

What?

[Unknown Guest]

Air guitar it.

[Hunter]

No, I. I want them to know. That's what I want to do.

[Goblin]

Canada to hear.

[Unknown Guest]

Make the noise with your mouth.

[Hunter]

I don't know how to do that. Not a. I'm a tackle salesman, Hunter, not a magician.

[Christian]

And he ain't been drinking

[Hunter]

Nazi.

[Goblin]

Gobble, gobble.

[Hunter]

What are we gonna talk about today? I know what I want to talk about.

[Galvin]

He wants to talk about.

[Hunter]

Oh, Hunter started the clock.

[Galvin]

He started the clock. Does that mean we're here?

[Christian]

Welcome back.

[Hunter]

We could. We had to just turn off Free Bird so we wouldn't get flagged.

[Christian]

Yeah. Usa, baby.

[Hunter]

And our Canadian listeners wouldn't get sad.

[Christian]

There ain't many of them.

[Hunter]

That's not true.

[Christian]

We got a bunch of them.

[Hunter]

There's a bunch of Canadians just sitting at home with a bunch of silver medals right now, listen.

[Christian]

Very poor guys.

[Hunter]

Well, they gave him, like, a emotional support pet. Did you see that?

[Christian]

Oh, well.

[Hunter]

After America won their first gold medal in hockey for 46 years, they gave our friends from the north their silver medal. And then they gave him, like, a stuffed animal.

[Christian]

Really?

[Hunter]

It was weird. I don't know what you do with that side. Did you watch the hockey?

[Christian]

Was it an eagle?

[Goblin]

I did not.

[Christian]

It should have been an eagle. That would have been.

[Goblin]

Was it. Was it a good game?

[Hunter]

It was a phenomenal game. Both teams played hard, but the. The the beauty of the whole thing is the reason America won is because a man played goalie with a large mouth bass printed on the side of his head.

[Galvin]

He sure did.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

Printed it on the side of his head.

[Hunter]

Yeah. I'm thinking about getting it tattooed.

[Galvin]

His helmet.

[Christian]

What's his name?

[Goblin]

You going to get a tattoo?

[Hunter]

Helly Buck, baby.

[Christian]

Connor, I'm sit down and talk once you get done with the crazy media tour that you're on now. We're cooler, but we'll take you to Crush City, man.

[Goblin]

Okay, I see what you talk about now.

[Christian]

Look at that.

[Galvin]

Look at that.

[Christian]

Ain't that cool, man.

[Hunter]

I'll have Hunter put up a better picture.

[Goblin]

That's the reason they won.

[Hunter]

It's got to be.

[Christian]

Something tells me Mr. Hellybuck is never going to have to purchase another fishing bait or any in his life.

[Galvin]

No.

[Christian]

Because of that ass.

[Hunter]

Master put it up. Bill Dance made a post about it.

[Christian]

Rapala

[Goblin]

it was.

[Hunter]

He went wild. Where's he from?

[Galvin]

Over.

[Goblin]

I'd say up there.

[Christian]

If I had to guess the great north somewhere where I just returned from.

[Hunter]

From Commerce, Michigan.

[Christian]

There you go.

[Galvin]

Michigan.

[Christian]

So he's probably kvd.

[Galvin]

Oh yeah, he's probably KVD made a post about it. Yeah, he's probably catching them smallies up there.

[Christian]

Catch anything up there, man. You ain't going to catch nothing right now though. Because all that water is hard.

[Unknown Guest]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

You just got back from up there?

[Christian]

I sure did. It was degree.

[Galvin]

That's wow.

[Hunter]

A degree.

[Christian]

I could singular one some of them. And when I woke up the next morning, they even took that away. They took some of them away. They were negative degrees, which doesn't really make sense.

[Goblin]

They can have it.

[Christian]

I don't get.

[Goblin]

What do you mean?

[Christian]

Negative temperatures? I don't understand like how something less than zero.

[Hunter]

It's negative.

[Christian]

I understand. But I get nothing.

[Galvin]

Nothing.

[Christian]

That's what I'm saying. Once you get to nothing there.

[Galvin]

Take away.

[Christian]

Yeah. Like what? How are we like Canada? It's always going to. It's just cold. And when like the wind was blowing like 25 miles an hour out of the northwest, buddy, when I walked outside, I. I retreated quick.

[Galvin]

Them shoulders go up and cover them here.

[Christian]

Man, it was so cold. Like I told them, the people at that church, I said, y' all do realize this wind is abrasive, right? Like it's just not even a friend of anybody's. Like it was so cold and blowing so hard that it was sunny, but it looked cloudy because all the snow that was on the ground was Getting blown around yellow like a fog bank. It doesn't. Rolled in there and it was nothing but snow that was on the ground and then got lifted up and across.

[Galvin]

We don't know nothing about that.

[Christian]

And now glad to not know nothing about it.

[Goblin]

And I don't want to know anything about it.

[Galvin]

I'm glad our water don't get hard

[Hunter]

good there for a week and didn't like it.

[Galvin]

Well, I wasn't where you couldn't fish.

[Christian]

Yeah, in some places I was where I could fish because I couldn't get there.

[Hunter]

Well, yeah, but if you were in Canada, it would have been negative 17 because they're Celsius.

[Christian]

What does that mean? You know, I don't even get it.

[Hunter]

I kind of get the kilometers thing. Yeah, I've, I'm, I'm dialing that in.

[Galvin]

That's because it's on your speedometer.

[Christian]

Well, multiples of 10 would make life a lot easier.

[Hunter]

But I don't understand general public.

[Christian]

Yeah, I don't know. But the folks of Minnesota, man, they're great.

[Hunter]

Were they Minnesota nice?

[Christian]

They were very much Minnesota nice. The fine folks of Frazee, Minnesota, the home of the world's largest turkey. That's their claim to fame still alive. It's just a big statue. The big figurine.

[Hunter]

That's what they went with. Brother. You were up there.

[Christian]

Oh, was I up there? Yeah, yeah, I was all the way up there.

[Hunter]

So hold on. Time out.

[Christian]

Yeah, like you get on a hill, you could have seen Canadian.

[Hunter]

I'm out.

[Unknown Guest]

Come out.

[Hunter]

You went to Frazee, Minnesota, which I've now looked up on a map. Sigh. That's, that's up there on the northern part of Minnesota.

[Galvin]

Yeah, you almost need a passport to get there.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

And, and I, I, I looked at their Wikipedia page. The population of Frazee, Minnesota is 1335.

[Christian]

I saw roughly 40% of them, I would say.

[Hunter]

And they said, we're bringing Justin Martin. I love small town America.

[Christian]

Yeah, man, it was great. Man. Those people up there were fired up, man. It was cool. And you know, I do respect that. They, they pretty much shut down things about 8 o'. Clock.

[Hunter]

You have to. It's that cold.

[Christian]

It is that cold. But they were. So when I was there, the Z like this, there was a big festival in the town that I stayed at the hotel in Detroit Lakes right there.

[Goblin]

Huh?

[Christian]

There's kind of a confusing name because we're a long way from Michigan, I was about to say, but they were having the Polar Fest.

[Hunter]

Oh no.

[Goblin]

Were you going in the water they

[Christian]

had a chunk of that lake chainsawed out.

[Goblin]

Yeah.

[Christian]

And for donations to nonprofits. People were jumping in that sucker. And I said, what do you win? And they were like, well, nothing. I said, so, like, the prize is survival. Like, you just. Yeah, you get to live like. You jump.

[Hunter]

You raise money.

[Goblin]

Oh, that's the largest turkey.

[Christian]

Yeah, the world's largest. Yeah.

[Galvin]

There he is.

[Christian]

Yeah, I saw him.

[Galvin]

I just give him money. I wouldn't jump in no cold water.

[Christian]

The guy said, you want to get out and take a picture with him? I said, nope, I've seen him. That's good enough for me.

[Hunter]

Keep driving.

[Christian]

I just. Just keep. Do not open this door.

[Hunter]

Is that right there by a lake?

[Christian]

Yeah, there's a little. There's a little deal.

[Galvin]

Right. There's a bunch of lakes in there.

[Hunter]

I've just learned something.

[Goblin]

That's the. That's the place up there where it's 10,000 lakes.

[Christian]

Yeah, there's a bunch of them.

[Hunter]

I just realized something I've never known before.

[Galvin]

What's that?

[Hunter]

As a Google Map aficionado, all the lakes are frozen on the satellite.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

That's crazy.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

I never thought about that.

[Christian]

Yeah. That's wild, man. It's. Yeah.

[Galvin]

Wow.

[Christian]

It was really cool, though. I mean, everybody up there tried to take me ice fishing. I said, no, man, I'm good. I said, no. I said, I'm going to go back to that hotel room. And, well, everybody knows what I do.

[Galvin]

Turn the hate on.

[Christian]

You know what? Detroit Lays got Dominoes.

[Hunter]

Domino's.

[Christian]

You know what I did watch the Olympics and ate dominoes.

[Hunter]

There you go.

[Christian]

But it's cool being that far north for that USA hockey game because that was like a holiday for those guys. Like, they were watching it in church. Like, I spoke at the church building the next morning, and it was sanctioned. Like, they had it playing in the foyer of the church. Everybody.

[Goblin]

Yeah, they were. Keep up with.

[Christian]

When they all understood what was going on. Me, I just. Like us, I don't really understand hockey.

[Hunter]

I get real fired up to talk trash to Canada once every couple of years.

[Christian]

Yeah. But it was cool, like, because I've been kind of. I guess I've probably watched more Winter Olympics this year than I ever have. And that's where all them folks is from, is Minnesota. So, like, they know everything about all them sports. Me, I'm just. I mean, I can't tell you how many hours I watch curling.

[Galvin]

How did that catch on?

[Christian]

What, curlin?

[Galvin]

Yeah.

[Christian]

I don't know, but it looks fun. But I have no idea how they slide out there.

[Hunter]

Should have went and done that. I guarantee you they haven't done that.

[Galvin]

They slide it out there and they can make that thing curl around.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

And come in there. So just one rock count.

[Christian]

Well, yeah, there's different. There's different. There's different stages on ice.

[Galvin]

Well, I didn't know.

[Christian]

So you, you can score multiple points,

[Hunter]

but you got to have the most close.

[Galvin]

Yeah, you got to have. Yeah. Well, that don't make sense.

[Hunter]

Hey, pretend my phone's a gun. Martin, it's right there. You can't get to it unless you got a Stop box pro and bamboo.

[Christian]

[Hunter]

That's why I like a stop box. It got your stuff right here, conveniently locked. But also you can get to it quick.

There was a poor guy yesterday, so I flew out of Fargo.

[Hunter]

Oh man.

[Christian]

And they had a youth hockey tournament apparently going on up there. A bunch of little Fargo, bunch of little kids in a hockey so far away. I know it was A long way up there. And I somehow made it home in like three hours. Three and a half hours.

[Hunter]

I bus America.

[Christian]

I know. God bless American Airlines. Y' all did your job yesterday.

[Hunter]

But he was on plane.

[Christian]

He though the whole. I mean, there were like five teams on the plane. It was crazy.

[Hunter]

Youth hockey.

[Christian]

Yeah. A bunch of little. Bunch of little mullets running around. Mullets real big in the youth hockey scene. But one of the dads, apparently he's an American now, but dual citizenship. Yeah. He loves his Canadian country and I guess he thought they were going to win, so he woke up and slapped that Canada sweatshirt on yesterday. Oh, and that was a bad place to be, man, because all them parents of them hockey teams just ripped him every time they walked by. But you could tell they all knew each other.

[Hunter]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Christian]

But he kind of quasi got last laugh because he was in seat one. Yeah, he was in first class, seat one. Everybody that got on after him had to walk right by him while he had his feet kicked up with what I can only assume as a screwdriver. It was something with orange juice. It was either a mimosa or a screwdriver. I'm not sure which one.

[Hunter]

Lightly colored orange juice.

[Christian]

But we were headed back to Texas, so I'm assuming he has some Tito's up in there, but. Yeah, no, it was. But he wore. Hey, look, he took his licks, man. Or maybe he lost a bet and had to wear that Canada sweatshirt all day, I don't know. But he took his licks because he had that Canada sweatshirt on the whole time. And I was like, man, good for you, man. At least your honor and what it is. But now, man, national pride's cool, man. Like, I don't care. Which side of that were you were on?

[Galvin]

I mean, they won silver.

[Christian]

If your people work hard enough to be considered an Olympic athlete, man, support them folks. Man, they gave. They gave everything in their life to try to be the best in the world at their craft. And I can appreciate that.

[Hunter]

And we have great looking jerseys. I got to get one, but I can't find one. I've been looking for like two days.

[Christian]

They're probably going to be expensive.

[Hunter]

They are, I'm sure. But I can't find one.

[Christian]

What you doing over, old man?

[Galvin]

What'd you find in that black velvet bag?

[Goblin]

A wrench.

[Galvin]

A ranch.

[Hunter]

He's been fidgeting.

[Galvin]

What's it go to?

[Goblin]

It's for tightening the drum. Make it sound different.

[Galvin]

Bring the wrench out and lose it.

[Goblin]

Tune them, boys. You tune them with this wrench.

[Christian]

There you go.

[Galvin]

Are you a bongo player now?

[Goblin]

I'm a noise maker.

[Galvin]

He is a noise maker.

[Goblin]

I don't play nothing from way back.

[Christian]

What'd you do this weekend?

[Goblin]

I went to Jackson, Mississippi, for Rodeo America.

[Hunter]

Did you ride the horse?

[Goblin]

No, I rode in a mule pool wagon.

[Hunter]

Oh, did you ride the schooner?

[Goblin]

Yeah. Well, it wasn't. It didn't have a canvas over it. It was open.

[Christian]

Did you have the range?

[Goblin]

No.

[Christian]

Oh, you just.

[Goblin]

I was in the front seat, though, with the driver.

[Christian]

Okay. How was that?

[Goblin]

It was cool. No, it was cool.

[Christian]

We need to text Phillips.

[Goblin]

And I had about two minutes to speak, so I only said a couple of things. Real quick.

[Christian]

Usa.

[Goblin]

No.

[Christian]

Oh.

[Goblin]

I said, I got two things to tell you. I love the people of Mississippi, and then I love Jesus Christ, and America is the greatest, you know, country on earth.

[Hunter]

Amen. I love Mississippi.

[Goblin]

That's all I gave.

[Christian]

There you go. That's good. That was enough. So what'd you do? You were at a rodeo? You just sat there and talked to folks? Is that what.

[Goblin]

Oh, then after that, I went in the building where all the merchants were.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

And was at Duck Buck Commander Properties for five hours.

[Christian]

Five hours. Good night. You earned your paycheck, son.

[Goblin]

[Christian]

Really?

[Goblin]

This year.

[Christian]

There you go.

[Goblin]

ARCA Rodeo and Mill's name was Us and Gus Up. No, it was Us and something else. I did get the other one, and bam, it was. And so. And then me was still at the. At the bar.

[Galvin]

Me and you.

[Goblin]

It may have been us and you. I think I was Us and you.

[Hunter]

I did find this picture on their

[Goblin]

face

[Galvin]

pointing his finger.

[Hunter]

Oh, were you getting that? You had a cowboy hat on, man.

[Goblin]

Oh, yeah, I got a good cowboy hat.

[Christian]

Look what shirt he's wearing.

[Hunter]

The same shirt you're wearing right now.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

Oh, yeah. It's warm, but it was.

[Goblin]

Hey, it was packed. I mean, it Looked like a big time. Yeah, it's oils. Big, big time.

[Christian]

That old boy right there had an earpiece inside. Yes, I had security.

[Hunter]

I love a good rodeo.

[Galvin]

My teacher told me I wasn't never gonna mount tonight.

[Goblin]

They had some pretty horses. I procrastinated when we was driving in. They had a horse tied to a trailer, had a blinder on him, and he was acting up like he's fixed to, you know, rear up, turn the trailer over. And when I went by, I rolled one there, said, hey, settle down, settle down. He stopped, looked at me. Yo, the horseman. He was looking for the voice. He couldn't see me, but he did settle down. You're the horse. I'm known as the horse. Whisper.

[Christian]

Y' all straight Miss Goblins joke.

[Hunter]

I did. I.

[Goblin]

Well, it was.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

What was the joke?

[Christian]

It's good enough. He needs to say it again.

[Galvin]

You think so?

[Christian]

Yeah. No, it's good. I just didn't want to steal your thunder with it.

[Galvin]

Well, I mean, I tried.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

I. Now I feel like I missed out on.

[Christian]

Now you got to go back, listen to it, and turn up Goblin's audio because. Go ahead.

[Galvin]

I was talking about that. The teachers. My teacher told me I wouldn't never mount to nothing because I procrastinated too much.

[Hunter]

I heard that part.

[Galvin]

I told her, you just wait.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

You don't know what you're talking.

[Christian]

Went over some of our heads.

[Galvin]

There you go.

[Hunter]

That's a good one. Hey, Larry has one for you. Godwin, from the hello at Duck call room inbox. How do you catch a unique rabbit?

[Christian]

Oh, I know.

[Galvin]

Oh, I don't know. I ain't heard this.

[Christian]

And unique up on it.

[Goblin]

That's right. Unique up on it.

[Hunter]

Hold on. But how do you catch a tame rabbit?

[Galvin]

I don't know.

[Christian]

I don't know that one.

[Goblin]

Tame way.

[Christian]

Same way.

[Goblin]

Same way.

[Hunter]

I don't have the delivery for that style of joke, but I tried. Yeah, Larry, that was my best.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

Good night.

[Christian]

The tame way. Sneak up on Unique up on them, and you catch the other one the tame way.

[Goblin]

Catch a tame one. Same way.

[Christian]

Oh, man alive, what a time.

[Galvin]

What do you call a fly without wings? A walk.

[Hunter]

That's ridiculous.

[Christian]

Oh, man. Well, God. What happened to you? What happened to you face?

[Galvin]

Well, I got five or six stitches on. I can't see them, so I don't

[Goblin]

know, but don't touch them.

[Galvin]

I had a deal. Paula keep saying, put that sunscreen on, and I got that skin cancer.

[Goblin]

Ah.

[Galvin]

And they whacked it out, but they Called me today and said they got it all. They said, everything's good, but they went pretty deep because there's four inside there.

[Christian]

Okay.

[Galvin]

They're gonna melt. So they say, but I got to go back and get these out.

[Hunter]

They're melting your innards.

[Galvin]

Well, how. I don't know how deep he went, but he said he went to the fat layer. I said, well, that ain't gonna be hard to find on me.

[Christian]

It's getting harder to find.

[Galvin]

Evidently, it's pretty deep. I just told him, stay away from my throat.

[Goblin]

Wait.

[Galvin]

Stay away from my jugular.

[Hunter]

Yeah, they're melting the stitches.

[Christian]

Oh, they dissolve in there?

[Goblin]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

Well, what are they built out of?

[Christian]

I don't know. Something that your body can break down.

[Galvin]

Huh. You think they dissolved already? Are they like a memento? A memento, manto whatever. Them things are a sucker.

[Christian]

Yeah, they probably wouldn't. They probably wouldn't make a Coke explode, but.

[Galvin]

Well, I mean, just how long. How many days does it take them to dissolve?

[Christian]

Oh, I don't know about that, because

[Galvin]

you can't see them, I would imagine.

[Christian]

I would think that they're gone before they cut your other one.

[Galvin]

But I tell you what, when you shave and you got to be careful, because I don't.

[Hunter]

You got to do that anyway.

[Galvin]

I done clipped all the.

[Goblin]

There's one right there, too. No. Because I would learn this watching a western movie. You've got 16 blood vessels and arteries in your neck.

[Galvin]

Oh, yeah?

[Goblin]

Yeah. This guy supposedly cut this guy's throat, and he said you didn't cut it deep enough because they had to shoot him. I told you, you got 16 vessels, blood vessels, and arteries in your neck, so you got to cut through all of them.

[Galvin]

When you cut to my stroke, well, they miss mine. Thinking.

[Hunter]

Learn something new every day, kids. Thanks for listening to the duck call room.

[Galvin]

He told me. He said, if you feel something, let me know. I said, oh, I will.

[Christian]

Yeah. Don't worry if it hurts.

[Galvin]

However how deep he went. He gave me about three shots that stung a little bit, but I'm glad he did because I didn't feel nothing.

[Christian]

You've made the decision. You want to get in better shape, you want to get fit and all this stuff. But a lot of you don't want

[Hunter]

to go to no gym because you

[Christian]

don't know where to start. And you don't want to go there looking like a. Like an idiot or just, you know. And then a lot of people, you know, just aren't morning people. So you try to get up early you want to go to a gym, but you don't want to talk. But that's where tonal comes in. And it makes so much sense because it's a smart, compact strength training system you can use at home anytime. And. And it tracks your progress so that you can take the guesswork out of working out.

[Hunter]

I work out at home. I ain't working, I ain't waking up. Driving 30 minutes, going there, taking a shower, driving. You will save all the time in the world.

[Goblin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Which is, hey, ain't making no more time.

[Christian]

Tonal is the convenience of a full gym and the guidance of a personal trainer, all from the comfort of your home. It's designed to help reduce the mental load so that you focus less on workout planning. Real time coaching cues help you dial in your form and help you lift safely and effectively. And it lets you choose from a variety of expert LED workouts like strength, arrow hit, yoga, mobility, doesn't matter. They got something for everybody, right?

[Hunter]

Hey, when I first started working out, I didn't have a clue what to do. This would have been clutch.

[Christian]

Right now, tonal is offering our listeners 200 off your Tonal purchase with promo code Duck, that's Tonal.com and use promo code Duck for $200 off your purchase. That's T-O-N-A-L.com, promo code for $200 off. Yeah, then he just fel you and put you back together.

[Galvin]

It's pretty big. Yeah, I saw it when I pulled that thing off and looked at it. I said, did great.

[Goblin]

That long?

[Christian]

Yeah. He took a plug out of you.

[Hunter]

I don't do well with blood.

[Galvin]

Well, I didn't see it.

[Goblin]

How would you like them to take off layers of your ear?

[Galvin]

That nurse kept dabbing it.

[Goblin]

Christine had that done. She had cancer in her ear, so they had to cut, I think two

[Christian]

layers of her ear.

[Galvin]

Bleeds a lot when you.

[Goblin]

No, you ain't got much in her ear. You know what I'm saying?

[Galvin]

No, it's just cartilage.

[Goblin]

But she come back with a big bandage on and she said, it's driving me nuts because I said. She said, I want to scratch so bad because it's itching.

[Galvin]

Oh, leave it alone.

[Goblin]

Because that's. It's been his healing.

[Galvin]

I can feel the little tag ends that you bite off when you tie your bait on. But he didn't bite them off.

[Hunter]

Well, what kind of naughty tie?

[Galvin]

But one of them I cut off with that, right? Because I'll try to get up because it looked weird.

[Hunter]

Just let it. Let your hair grow till it's done.

[Galvin]

Man, that looked bad.

[Hunter]

I think we all look okay.

[Galvin]

Yeah, but you got a full beard. I just got a piece of one.

[Hunter]

I think you should grow a full beard.

[Galvin]

I did it. I used to have one.

[Christian]

Bring it back.

[Hunter]

Bring it back.

[Goblin]

Yeah, but now you look better than just the goatee.

[Galvin]

Yeah, I'd look funny with the.

[Christian]

No, no.

[Galvin]

I wiped it off one time. Paula wouldn't even look at me in the eyes.

[Christian]

That thing getting long?

[Hunter]

It's awesome.

[Galvin]

Yeah.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

Time to cut it.

[Goblin]

Oh, goatee looks good on you.

[Christian]

It fits. It fits his personality.

[Hunter]

We don't want to do a full rebrand here at this age, but I think I'd like. I know I'd like to see you in a full beer.

[Christian]

Remember that time? So I cut his. Basically down to a goatee about a year ago or so.

[Goblin]

Didn't like it.

[Christian]

That was crazy looking. Not.

[Goblin]

I didn't like it. I don't go to. Don't look good on me.

[Christian]

Yeah, I wasn't supposed to see that much of your face ever.

[Hunter]

It was uncomfortable.

[Christian]

Yeah, it was. It was kind of weird, but. Well, that's good. Well, I'm glad they got it all out of there, but sunscreen, fishing season is coming. Y' all wear it. You see, I had one piece of

[Galvin]

advice for the future because I was one of them. I ain't never getting that mess.

[Hunter]

Sunscreen. It's important that. Or we've been fooled by big sunscreen.

[Christian]

Or, you know, I got a laugh from.

[Hunter]

Why did you laugh at that?

[Christian]

Hunter, the guy who wears hoodies in July, laughs at that.

[Hunter]

So Hunter believes big sunscreen's out for us. Oh, I'm just saying sunscreen's a relatively new product.

[Galvin]

Well, when you're out in the sun all the time, you know.

[Goblin]

Well, that's one thing while cancer is very rampant is because people don't put sunscreen on their ears and on their face.

[Galvin]

I know.

[Hunter]

Was it rampant?

[Galvin]

1850, when.

[Christian]

No, no.

[Goblin]

I'm told Christine that, hey, I put my hair have cancer on their ears and face.

[Hunter]

That's because we're inside too much,

[Goblin]

and

[Hunter]

then the sun hurts us. But if we were just part of

[Galvin]

the sun, that's what tears me up my ears. I bought one of your honey Ho hat. You know, them Baggins. But about two trips down the lake, full throttle, that's it.

[Goblin]

That's gone.

[Hunter]

And I hate to hear that.

[Galvin]

He got another.

[Hunter]

I get you. We actually don't have any.

[Goblin]

That's why you got a strap on it.

[Christian]

You got to bring it. You got to bring it in for warranty work.

[Goblin]

It still blew off.

[Christian]

Well, yeah, it's like a sombrero.

[Goblin]

Yeah, it's straw hat.

[Galvin]

Like a parachute. When you.

[Goblin]

I know I've got one, but mine's got a strap on it. It'll blow off.

[Christian]

Yeah, but you got a neck to hold it on to me. And God, when I got a net,

[Hunter]

well, I put it under the goate,

[Galvin]

flips back, and then it's a parachute. And, well, mine.

[Goblin]

Hey, when you like, it folds it back.

[Galvin]

I need somewhere.

[Christian]

Look at that five head.

[Goblin]

Yeah, that's the way mine did when

[Galvin]

somewhere took off on the boat.

[Goblin]

All it did was just flatten out against.

[Galvin]

You know, I guess I could throw

[Goblin]

it on the house.

[Hunter]

I do like a good.

[Galvin]

But it sure is nice. It's like 10 degrees cooler under that thing. Big head things are worth.

[Goblin]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Galvin]

Especially on my ears brim.

[Christian]

Yeah, I'm. I don't like. I don't like sunscreen, which is why I just quit.

[Galvin]

I know. I don't like that.

[Christian]

I mean, I try to put it on my face when I remember, but the rest time I just wear sleeves and pants now they got everything. Performance. I just.

[Goblin]

No, no. That's why most bass fishermen have got the gloves and the little face mask.

[Galvin]

Yeah, I don't want to wear the

[Christian]

gloves either, but I tried to face mask and I just breathe. Mouth breathing through that thing is just. It gets so hot.

[Galvin]

Oh, you know, reminds me of being a thing off. Just like.

[Hunter]

I hate them things.

[Galvin]

Oh, man.

[Christian]

Yeah. The.

[Hunter]

Are we allowed to go down that rabbit hole?

[Christian]

What? That?

[Hunter]

We had to wear those in a grocery store.

[Christian]

Oh, the buffs. Yeah, yeah.

[Hunter]

And that protected us even though my beard poked through it. Surely bacteria couldn't get through it.

[Christian]

No. Something you can't see can't get through that. But your hair can.

[Galvin]

No.

[Christian]

Which, by the way, I visited my first buffet since then this past weekend at the Pizza Ranch in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.

[Goblin]

How was it?

[Galvin]

Was it good? Pizza?

[Christian]

I didn't eat the pizza, surprisingly.

[Galvin]

He went to the pizza place and he ordered sushi.

[Christian]

Now I had fried chicken.

[Hunter]

Hold on.

[Goblin]

Wait a minute. He went to a pizza place and ordered fried chicken.

[Christian]

They have one in. They had two buffets. One of them was pizza. The other one was fried chicken, mashed potatoes, French fries, and all that kind of stuff. I ate me three whole.

[Galvin]

Cause inflammation the European mind cannot.

[Christian]

Fried chicken.

[Hunter]

Yeah, right now.

[Christian]

Well, I'm sorry.

[Galvin]

Let me tell you what Your knees are going to feel like what? Well, you know what they feel like Mine feeling way better because you don't eat fried chicken. I don't eat a lot of vegetables either.

[Christian]

Oh, really?

[Galvin]

There's some vegetables that causes inflammation.

[Christian]

Which one?

[Galvin]

Green beans, carrots.

[Goblin]

Yuck.

[Christian]

You ain't got to worry about that.

[Galvin]

You gonna have to.

[Hunter]

Vegetables are supposed to be white and you're supposed to be able to mash them, fry them, stick them in a

[Christian]

stew and dip them in ranch Amen. Or cover them with gravy.

[Galvin]

We bake it.

[Hunter]

More cheese and bacon.

[Galvin]

But you can make salve. What about if you bake fish in it?

[Christian]

What about Brussels sprouts?

[Galvin]

Oh, you can have him.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

Cabbage. Oh, they got a recipe on there. Cabbage and Italian sausage.

[Christian]

Okay.

[Galvin]

And let me tell you, it is good that I might make that again. It's quick, too.

[Christian]

That sounds like something that give you the toots.

[Galvin]

Oh, yeah. It's a colon cleanser.

[Hunter]

I say something for all the great things Italy's done for the world. Their sausage mid.

[Galvin]

Oh, this is pretty good home for me.

[Christian]

Yeah, it's got. It's got a lot of fennel in it. I ain't a big.

[Hunter]

That's what it is.

[Christian]

Yeah. I ain't a big fennel guy.

[Hunter]

I like breakfast sausage on pizza.

[Christian]

Praise God. Yeah. Just pork. Breakfast sausage. So good.

[Goblin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Galvin]

So eggs. I can have eggs and bacon sausage on it. There's a lot of things you can have. You ain't got to change that much.

[Christian]

Really? What's the one thing you cut out?

[Galvin]

I'm just curious that I cut out,

[Christian]

like the one that you're like. Man, I wish I could have that because I'm. We can't say pecan pie because we know you with the first diet.

[Galvin]

Yeah. I was going to say something else. Yeah, yeah.

[Christian]

Something new.

[Galvin]

It's something. It'd be fried fish.

[Christian]

Fried fish? Yeah.

[Hunter]

Can't have fried fish.

[Galvin]

No.

[Christian]

At all.

[Galvin]

Well, they can. You can, but there's a. I forget what it's called. They got the name of. You can get it at Walmart, too. It's some kind of bread stuff that

[Christian]

you fry it with, like almond flour. Can you fry it in that?

[Galvin]

Now it's. I can't remember what it is. But anyway, I mean, it's not a whole lot that you don't have to eat.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

It's just cheese. Don't eat cheese. Which I like.

[Christian]

Cheeseburgers and a ham and cheese salmon.

[Galvin]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

Cheese. That'd be tough.

[Galvin]

And I make. I make A three egg omelette in the morning and put some bacon in there. And I'm thinking, oh, if I could put some. That Kobe Jack.

[Christian]

Just a little light layer. Nobody. Ain't nobody watching. Hold on.

[Hunter]

But this is the most important question. Question I may have asked you ever. It's just bacon, right?

[Galvin]

Bacon. Yeah, yeah. Bacon.

[Hunter]

Ain't no turkey bacon.

[Galvin]

No, they prefer you to eat that, but no, that ain't got to have it.

[Hunter]

My wife's on this kick too. And every time I turn around, I see turkey bacon in my house. And I'm. I'm struggling with that.

[Goblin]

Oh, you're not supposed to eat fried fish, fried anything. Oh, what. What do you.

[Galvin]

How you cook your bacon?

[Hunter]

S. Like, how do you eat?

[Galvin]

Bake it or grill it, but I still be on my salve and dip it in there.

[Christian]

Can you cook it like in a skillet, though? Like. Like with olive oil or something?

[Galvin]

I use coconut oil.

[Christian]

Coconut oil.

[Galvin]

It's like lard.

[Christian]

Yeah, Yeah. I was just curious.

[Hunter]

When you come in a jump rope.

[Galvin]

Jump rope. When is that? What is that?

[Hunter]

You know, jump.

[Galvin]

Well, I know what a jump rope.

[Christian]

I do.

[Hunter]

I jump rope like three times a week. We can do it together. It'll be fun.

[Galvin]

I bet you my knees. Let me do it now.

[Hunter]

There you go. That actually is a test. If you could jump rope, then you're like, boom.

[Galvin]

Well, I noticed when I jump out of my truck now, my knees don't hurt like they used to when I hit the ground.

[Christian]

Too many carrots.

[Galvin]

And I'm like, yeah. I'm thinking. I'm thinking this work.

[Hunter]

His eyes had laser vision, but his knees.

[Goblin]

That's why weight is dangerous.

[Hunter]

Why weight?

[Galvin]

Well, she said. They told me that there are certain things you eat causes inflammation in your joints if you cut all that. Yeah.

[Christian]

Oh, yeah.

[Galvin]

I quit eating it. And I can tell a difference.

[Christian]

Yeah. Yeah. There's all kinds of stuff.

[Goblin]

One of green beans.

[Hunter]

How many green.

[Galvin]

You can limit it. You can have limited.

[Hunter]

Green pickled okra is one of them.

[Galvin]

Onion pickles in general. Onions.

[Goblin]

That's a lot.

[Galvin]

Onions are limited.

[Goblin]

That's a lot.

[Galvin]

Limited vegetable. They give you a sheet. Come in, just play.

[Goblin]

PhD actually tells you stuff that healthy for your body, right? Instead of fighting or adding stuff to your body that's bad, this is taking it away. Or either it works with the body.

[Galvin]

It does.

[Christian]

Where do they stand on ice cream for it?

[Galvin]

I don't know. I'll ask my coach.

[Goblin]

I tell you what it says I

[Galvin]

get that zero sugar ice cream. Yeah, I used to eat that. Man. Paula, we'd have us a ice cream bar, you know that zero that. Whatever that. I forget what brand it is.

[Christian]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about though.

[Goblin]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

What?

[Hunter]

Oh yeah, you big into moo bars.

[Galvin]

But I can't do that.

[Goblin]

Hey, Moo bars are those are out too much. What do you mean out?

[Hunter]

No, you gotta. Hey, speaking of, I decided I set a new goal, all right. In life by the time I'm 37, which is in.

[Christian]

Oh, is that this year?

[Hunter]

Three. Yeah.

[Christian]

Okay, that's weird.

[Galvin]

You're just now gonna be 37.

[Hunter]

Just now I'm gonna run a 5K shout out Canada in under 30 minutes. I think y' all are on the same time as us though.

[Christian]

Now. 5k is what, 3.1 miles?

[Goblin]

So I got what, 3.1.

[Hunter]

3.1 miles in under 30.

[Christian]

Are you doing couch to 5k?

[Hunter]

No, I got this fancy. Our Garmin friends are helping me.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

And I did it and it said I was like, okay, yeah, I'm gonna do this plan. And the first thing it did was say run 6.2 miles. And I was like, that's dumb.

[Galvin]

I thought, that's twice as far as

[Hunter]

I want to know.

[Christian]

Yeah, well then it'll be easy.

[Galvin]

It's not supposed to take you but 12 minutes to do what? Run three miles?

[Christian]

Who you talking a four minute mile.

[Galvin]

Ain't that how long it's supposed to take to run a mile?

[Hunter]

If you're an Olympian?

[Christian]

Yeah. Four minute miles. Moving, man.

[Goblin]

Most, I think most people, four minute, four minute mile.

[Christian]

Average humans about nine probably now.

[Galvin]

Five minutes.

[Christian]

Five minute is.

[Galvin]

What did you say?

[Hunter]

Five minutes booking.

[Christian]

Well, you gotta think. Look, if you run a 10 minute mile, 10 minute mile, you're running 6 miles per hour for.

[Hunter]

That's 10 minutes.

[Christian]

That's pretty. That's, that's moving.

[Hunter]

That's moving.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

And you gotta do it for 30 minutes. That's my goal.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Well, then it said I needed to run for an hour and 20 minutes. And then my watch would tell me, oh, you're going too slow, speed up. But then it would say, you're going too fast. It was very heavy on too fast at the beginning, very heavy on too slow at the end. But I'm trying to teach you, you

[Goblin]

can do it probably in like this.

[Christian]

Oh, so it's trying to teach you the pace.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

Reasonable would be an 8 minute mile.

[Galvin]

I wonder how fast I'm doing that speed walking.

[Goblin]

Oh, no, I thought you could do an eight minute mile and not really pressure yourself.

[Hunter]

I've ran an eight minute mile before, but then I, you know, I had to go lay on the floor. Well, don't make sure I was good

[Goblin]

with the Lord if you ain't used to it. But I mean, that's the reasonable thing because that'd be. That'll be 24 minutes for your 3.1 mile.

[Hunter]

My, my goal is not. My goal is 29 minutes and 59 seconds.

[Christian]

There you go.

[Hunter]

I get carried away.

[Christian]

I think you can do it.

[Hunter]

Look, so now I'm running down Arkansas Road.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

On the, on the shoulder.

[Christian]

Oh, is this when you was dressed in your USA garb?

[Hunter]

Oh, yeah, I wear that all the time anyway. And then here comes a little orange, the hot wheel coming straight at me. And I'm like, is that Hunter? And so I'm kind of miserable at this point. And so I see Hunter and I wave.

[Christian]

Yeah. He just kept going. Didn't even acknowledge it.

[Galvin]

Really waved back. Bradley's helping you. I wait if he would have stopped,

[Hunter]

I pointed at him.

[Galvin]

Pick you up then.

[Hunter]

And then I was like.

[Galvin]

Which is what she's wanting him to do.

[Hunter]

No, I didn't want him to stop and pick me up. But then I turned around and I'm headed home. Hunter done. Probably been a lot of places gone. The grocery store, many things. And I was like, oh, man, there's Hunter again. So I acted like I was okay because I knew him. And so I waved. But what I was really hoping you would do is like, bring me some water or something, because I was in a bind.

[Christian]

I need a drink.

[Galvin]

No, he's got. Hey, dumb.

[Goblin]

Do a 10 minute mile.

[Hunter]

You got the three times in a row.

[Goblin]

Yeah. You want to do a 10 minute mile?

[Galvin]

10 minutes at.

[Goblin]

I don't know. I'm telling you right now, you'll beat that.

[Hunter]

I tried the other day and I finished in 33 minutes.

[Christian]

Where'd this newfound epiphany come from?

[Hunter]

I don't know.

[Galvin]

Just something to do. Huh?

[Hunter]

Something to do. I have to set goals.

[Galvin]

Could you do it or. I don't jump and rope.

[Goblin]

I can do it. Jumping rope.

[Christian]

Are you gonna end up being one of them it runs a marathon for this is all said. No, you're gonna get them fancy little stickers.

[Galvin]

We're gonna be going to Boston for long.

[Hunter]

When I tell you at an hour and 20 minutes, your boy was. I didn't want to do anything else ever again, so I ain't doing that. I like. I like going hard for a short amount of time, but I have to set a goal or I'm never going to do it. And then there's a lot of people in our little garment group.

[Christian]

I found out now I've got. There's like over 100 more added. Yeah, that's cool.

[Hunter]

And they're all way better at running than me.

[Christian]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Hunter]

We don't.

[Christian]

I've been really disappointed by my step count since duck season ended. Because it ended. Then I end up with a flu and my whole deal reset. Because it was got up to where it's like, you need to get 14,000 steps today. Because I had it on the climb and deal.

[Hunter]

Oh.

[Christian]

Or whatever. And then I got the flu. And one day I got like 600 and it's like, all right, let's bring this back down to reality. Because it's like, bro, yesterday you didn't move.

[Galvin]

You need to get steps. I did yesterday.

[Hunter]

Anyway, so that's what I'm up to. And Hunter. Hunter will wave to you if you run on the side of the road, Hunter.

[Christian]

Where were you going? Out that way. Yeah, Just for curiosity sake.

[Unknown Guest]

My sister lives near, near you, actually.

[Christian]

Oh, okay.

[Unknown Guest]

So I was going to let her dogs out because she was camping for the weekend. I didn't recognize you at first. When I passed you, I thought you were a stranger pointing at me.

[Christian]

That happened often to you?

[Unknown Guest]

No, not really. But I mean, actually what does happen often is strangers just start talking to me for seemingly no reason.

[Hunter]

It's called being friendly, Hunter. I don't like it when people do that either.

[Goblin]

No.

[Hunter]

Okay, well. But why did you not recognize me?

[Unknown Guest]

Because you were wearing sunglasses, sleeveless shirt, shorts and a bandana.

[Christian]

Yeah, that checks out.

[Hunter]

That's pretty much my go to uniform.

[Christian]

Yeah. As loud as it can be.

[Unknown Guest]

But after like I got to my sister's house, I was like, I think that was John David. And then I passed you on the way back and I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's definitely him.

[Hunter]

I didn't even know it was me. That's why he didn't bring me water. Okay, you're forgiven. If you ever see me again, stop and bring water.

[Christian]

Yeah, please, like keep a bot from now I'll keep a bottle of water in your.

[Hunter]

I almost went in the gas station was like, I will come back and pay.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

For this water I'm about to steal.

[Christian]

I will be back, I promise. But it won't be quickly. But I'll be back.

[Hunter]

Take me a minute to get home.

[Christian]

Yeah, but I gotta, I ran here, so I gotta run there.

[Hunter]

So that's a weird little health journey we're all on.

[Christian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Hunter]

You join inside. No, I can't wait to be that

[Goblin]

age, but I had enough of that crap in the military.

[Christian]

Yeah. Yeah. He ran everywhere he went for 24. Yeah.

[Hunter]

What was your mile time back in the military? I bet you were actually.

[Goblin]

No, no. What it is a full 44 times, huh?

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

And I ran what I think like 18 and I would stop and walk.

[Christian]

Oh, he was just trying to slide four times. Yeah, he was just trying to pass the PT test.

[Goblin]

All I know is pass PT test and I ain't big on. Let's say that's knock it out of the park and do a hundred push ups and all this other crap.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

Hey, knock yourself out.

[Christian]

Well, I'm gonna have to get back on that because I'm going back to Wyoming this year. So in order to not die when I get to 7,000.

[Galvin]

All right.

[Goblin]

No, no, because you got, you got a good thing that you do when you're duck hunting?

[Christian]

What walk everywhere?

[Goblin]

Yeah, walking go way.

[Galvin]

I take some.

[Christian]

Actually that's one of the reasons I don't even take my dog anymore because it keeps me more active.

[Goblin]

No, otherwise that's like Stone. Stone. Does it go. He gets his cardio. Yeah, every day.

[Christian]

What that cardio now when then when the ones that go out there for whatever reason 200 yards and I really wish I'd bring my dog.

[Galvin]

Yeah.

[Christian]

But as long as they're in that boys are just outside of midday, no big deal to me. I enjoy the movement. I enjoy the, the getting up and stretching and, and all that.

[Galvin]

The hunters.

[Hunter]

So you ran a two mile in 18 minutes.

[Goblin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

And yeah, that was just you like.

[Goblin]

Hey, that's all. Because like I said, I walk. I walked what like four times and probably slid that on each 440 I would walk. Oh. What

[Christian]

I used to do that.

[Hunter]

It was fast.

[Christian]

Oh yeah. Well, look at it. He didn't play 130.

[Goblin]

That's why I told you if you have got a, a decent job that's comfortable.

[Hunter]

I don't.

[Goblin]

Well, you will nothing about it.

[Galvin]

Comfortable.

[Goblin]

If you get into it, you will. And I'll tell you, I. You'll go on, you'll go. You'll do an eight minute bow.

[Christian]

And that running on asphalt hurts, man. Man hurts me. Anyways, I, I way easier running grass and that kind of stuff.

[Galvin]

Hurt your knees.

[Hunter]

My ankles are too bad though. If I get off kilter, I'm going down.

[Galvin]

I'm going to go buy to go buy me.

[Goblin]

I run a six minute mile.

[Hunter]

You ran a six minute mile.

[Goblin]

But hey look, we run every day for crying out loud.

[Hunter]

That's awesome.

[Christian]

But he ran a six minute mile while smoking sag.

[Hunter]

That's what I'm saying.

[Goblin]

That's when I was smoking two packs of cigarette today. That's why. That's why. Hey, when I run the route for PTZ, hey, I walk four. I had to do four laps around 440 and I walk.

[Christian]

Yeah. On each one of them lungs got good working.

[Goblin]

Hey, look, it's just pissed everybody off. And I said, hey look, I'm not, I'm not for the Olympics here. Yeah, I do this because y' all make it a dadgum yearly thing.

[Hunter]

We hibachi'd some New York strips the other night, cut them up all small, about medium rare. Sorry, Si, not medium plus. And boy, I went overboard because it

[Goblin]

was just each to his own jd.

[Hunter]

Amen to that. Hey, and if you buy steaks from Tri Tails Beef you can cook it however you want.

[Christian]

Tri tail's beef is prime and upper choice beef from American cowboys and ranchers. And you will taste the difference the first time you cook it. Their steaks are aged to perfection and rival any steak you you would get at a steakhouse. And you know that just by looking at it. Like when you see it, you're like, yeah, this is the deal right here. Look. We love that Trails is a family business. It's a fifth generation family ranch. And that same family is still responsible for every box of meat they ship to your family. They're still out there raising cattle, chasing calves and packing your order by hand. The beef is rich and tender and the marbling is absolutely off the charts. And we love that military veterans and first responders get a discount. Tritails beef is the real deal and you're putting something on the table that reflects care, continuity and something worth passing down because that is what tritels beef is all about. Go to tribe.comduck to learn more or order your first try tails box straight from their ranch to your door. That's t r y beef.com and you'll even get 10% off your first order. And they're throwing in some free meat for you. Go check it out. That's t r y beef dot com. Brittany and I did it before the boys where we did that couch to 5K, that app where it's like.

[Hunter]

Yeah. You were running.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

You never told me.

[Christian]

Well, yeah, I don't, I don't advertise everything. I do.

[Hunter]

Come on, man.

[Christian]

No, I didn't want somebody. I didn't want somebody to come driving by and see me. That's where all the houses got in our neighborhood too. So it was like just fresh constructions on.

[Hunter]

You got a good neighborhood to run in.

[Christian]

Yeah. It ain't terrible, it ain't bad. It's got just enough hills where you can.

[Galvin]

We need to find the cemetery, walk over no more because the trees till they get the insurance done.

[Hunter]

Because they got that other old golf course now is a good walking part.

[Goblin]

Now you talking about that one In Fort Bragg we run every. Every day we ran and we hit the last part of it. About the last mile we run four miles.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

The last mile was uphill. Yeah. And I said, you boys need to reverse this.

[Hunter]

Amen.

[Christian]

Well, it's always crazy.

[Goblin]

I guess the place where we. Hey. The last mile should be downhill.

[Christian]

Running. Running uphill never hurt me as bad as going downhill.

[Galvin]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

Oh, no.

[Christian]

Using them brake pads, like trying to control them brake Pads going down. Man, my knees are like offensive lineman days. You're like, no, bro. No.

[Goblin]

I could get just relaxed and not even know I was lifted my legs up.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

Downhill.

[Christian]

I was way better at staying up. Like. No, the climbing going down always hurt.

[Hunter]

This podcast is hilarious.

[Christian]

I know.

[Hunter]

We went from a bunch of weirdos and now we're a bunch of old men discussing our diets and all our routines and it's all just.

[Galvin]

None of it.

[Hunter]

None of it's impressive.

[Christian]

None of it is sanctioned either.

[Hunter]

And none of it's impressive. It's just trying to be dads, grandpas

[Christian]

trying to not die average.

[Goblin]

That's why that PhD is good.

[Galvin]

Well, I won't. When they get 10 years old, I

[Goblin]

want to be able to run and play with whatever you're eating. They figured out it will help you.

[Christian]

Galvin, here's what I'm going to tell you, buddy. You're not going to wait till they're 10. They going to hit about two and a half and you're going to be running everywhere after them anyway. August, I mean, and it's a dude.

[Galvin]

I remember Johann. I got fun when she turned.

[Goblin]

That's one thing your grandkids and I didn't have to tell you worry about is energy.

[Christian]

Oh, yeah.

[Goblin]

They gonna have plenty of it.

[Christian]

Spark plug. I'll tell you, they just like a spark plug.

[Goblin]

Yeah.

[Galvin]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

They like to energize the bunny. They ain't gonna run out.

[Galvin]

I got to babysitter Wednesday. Cassie. Wednesday. Because easy. They got their first appointment up there to get that medicine right. And they have to stay up there about six hours and then they got to go back Thursday two days in a row.

[Goblin]

But what I wanted to say while ago about. Okay, that's like all these workout. If you can get it fine at the gym. Like the military. The military's running program sucks. Okay. Because, hey, I've done it for 24 and a half years and I never. It never made me get in shape.

[Christian]

You don't.

[Hunter]

Because you're walking for half of it.

[Goblin]

No, no, no, no. Cause something is wrong with that system. Yeah.

[Hunter]

It's called Winston.

[Goblin]

If you do it for a year, run four miles every day for a year and. And then, hey, running a mile shouldn't even bother you.

[Christian]

If you run four miles, that would be great. Is when you chase it with 40 sagrets. That the issue may have arisen.

[Goblin]

Well, no, no, because I figured. I figured. Yeah.

[Christian]

Okay.

[Goblin]

You know, pack citrus has a lot to do with that.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

I'm just Saying, you know, if you do, if you exercise every day for, for three months.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

Well, hey, when you do the little exercise routine, it should get where it wouldn't even if it ain't even nothing for you to do.

[Galvin]

Are we going to get any comments off his podcast?

[Christian]

A few. Yeah. There's going to be a lot of them.

[Hunter]

Yeah, there's going to be some ones

[Christian]

on their health journey that have gone so far down the rabbit hole that they're going to tell us everything they've done wrong and why you should happily eat green beans and carrots regardless of what other people say. There's going to be other ones slamming a little Debbie saying, I don't know why y' all doing that.

[Galvin]

Yeah.

[Christian]

And then there's going to be a bunch of it like us like, yeah, man, just try, just try to feel better.

[Galvin]

Way better.

[Hunter]

That's the key.

[Christian]

Green beans, cut out carrots and look how good the boys knees are.

[Hunter]

I'm with you. I ain't ever going to eat another one of them.

[Goblin]

Well, no, because I mean if you eat something and it gives you information, that's a shame.

[Christian]

You ever notice so the stuff that gives you inflammation is good? Like onions are good now?

[Goblin]

I don't know.

[Christian]

Onions are superb, especially when you cook them.

[Goblin]

Well, No, I love. Yeah, I ate a raw sweet.

[Christian]

I don't mind a raw one. But whenever they go through that little change in the skillet from raw to not all the way cooked, that little salt man there. So.

[Hunter]

Yeah, but before they get in the skillet, I'm eating one.

[Goblin]

I was just going to say I like all of my vegetables a little bit crunchy. Not.

[Christian]

Yeah, yeah. I just want them softened but not soft. They're not soft, just soften them.

[Goblin]

I like it. Have a little crunch to it.

[Christian]

Yeah, yeah. Like bell pepper. Like one of my favorite things in the world is the bell peppers and onions in a fajita skillet. Like I love.

[Goblin]

Don't cook them, don't cook them where they're soft.

[Christian]

Yeah, they're so good.

[Goblin]

Yeah, just I.

[Galvin]

When we go to like half done, a Mexican restaurant, I'll order fajitas, shrimp and chicken fajitas. I don't get eat the rest of the stuff. I just eat what's in the, in the skillet.

[Goblin]

When I go to a Mexico restaurant, I make what they chop up. The bell pepper and pepper and all that. The hosta that. I'll eat a bowl of that. Yeah, just that. That's all I want.

[Hunter]

You don't want the steak huh?

[Christian]

No, he just wants a vegetable.

[Goblin]

No, no, the best.

[Galvin]

I'll eat that. And the meat. Like her little wraps.

[Goblin]

I double the vegetable. Doritos.

[Galvin]

Whatever.

[Hunter]

Oh, here we go.

[Goblin]

That's why you look at the dressing.

[Hunter]

You know, we're going down Thanksgiving route.

[Goblin]

Hey, no, no, I'm serious. Yo, double the vegetable. I always told Field, okay, y' all don't put enough, you know, onions or bell peppers or whatever else he's put in there.

[Hunter]

Not enough. Not enough things anyway. Well, hey, I like being just a regular old dude trying to figure out

[Galvin]

how to jump rope. If you do that, how many times?

[Hunter]

How many times can I jump rope?

[Christian]

Oh, a bunch.

[Galvin]

No, I mean, when do you do it?

[Hunter]

I was going to this morning, but I was kind of tired, so I laid back down. It might have fallen asleep for a minute. I might jump rope this evening.

[Galvin]

How was your timing when you first started?

[Hunter]

Terrible.

[Galvin]

You just got to practice.

[Hunter]

Yeah. When I first started, I would go for three minutes and I would hope to hit 150.

[Galvin]

I'm gonna get me a jump rope.

[Hunter]

Get you one?

[Christian]

I bet he got one. You can bar.

[Hunter]

I got multiple. It kind of became my identity for a minute.

[Christian]

He got one that weighs like seven pounds, five.

[Hunter]

And you don't want that one. That one's dumb. Shouldn't that £2 is the most you want?

[Goblin]

I'll jump rope.

[Hunter]

Your shoulders burn, baby.

[Christian]

Imagine a five pound rope. I'd be impressed if I could just get that sucker.

[Goblin]

I grabbed two weights. What? I had five pound and eight pounds, and I would sit in my recliner and work out with them. Hey, you would not believe. Because I was done it one day and I was wringing wet and I said, what in the world's going on? That ain't that hard. Young Christine says, well, you're doing like 30 repetitions of every little thing you're doing about. He said, you worked out two hours, for crying out loud. So. No. What are you, wet? Idiot.

[Christian]

Yeah, you big dummy.

[Galvin]

Go get in the shower.

[Christian]

Oh, man.

[Goblin]

And then I got the little pedal thing, y' all.

[Christian]

Ub remember that guy?

[Hunter]

But I was thinking about when you used to pedal under the desk.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Goblin]

Hey, I had a really good routines in my recliner that I done for two hours. And I'm serious. I felt way better. I need to go back on it.

[Christian]

Let's go.

[Hunter]

We're all just being a healthier, slightly healthier decision.

[Goblin]

You can do better decisions that will help you.

[Christian]

Yeah, let's make better decisions.

[Goblin]

Yeah. Anyway.

[Christian]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Well, here's the deal. None of us are world champion athletes.

[Goblin]

Correct.

[Hunter]

None of us are even probably going to be the best on a old man softball team or anything like that. No, we're just regular guys trying to be as healthy as we can for our kids and our grandkids so we can live around a long time. But First Corinthians 9, 24 is a much more important thing than running. But it talks about running or getting in shape or whatever. Do you not know that in a race, all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the game goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

[Galvin]

So there you go.

[Hunter]

The most important thing people get with. Jesus Christ.

[Goblin]

Yeah, just stay in there.

[Hunter]

Everything else will get taken care of.

[Goblin]

Stay in the race.

[Christian]

What's the other one for? Physical training is of some value, but spiritual is forever.

[Hunter]

First Timothy 4, 8. Thanks, Christian. Yeah, I knew that one.

[Christian]

Oh, that's that one.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Christian]

Okay. Okay. I knew that was one of them. I just didn't know what it was.

[Hunter]

Hey, let's go. Let's all go jog. I'm just kidding.

[Christian]

I'm not jogging.

[Galvin]

I ain't running down the road.

[Christian]

The only place I'm about to jog to is the restroom because I got tt. We'll see y' all next time.

[Goblin]

If you see me running, you get what's chasing me, Sam.
