Hosts: Si Robertson, Justin Martin (Martin), Johnny D (John-David Owen), Hunter, plus Jay Stone, Phillip McMillan, and Jacob Mayo

Episode Overview

This riotous, free-ranging episode of Duck Call Room is billed as a Q&A but, in true Duck Commander fashion, quickly unspools into stories, debate, and classic off-the-rails humor—especially with Uncle Si at the helm. In celebration of Si’s 78th birthday, the guys riff on everything from birthday hot chocolate, oatmeal baths, and poison ivy remedies to favorite routines, sandwiches, meaningful quotes, and what moments changed their lives. Hunter steps into the “fourth chair” to moderate the fan questions, though the group has a talent for answering them in their own circuitous style. Listeners are treated to a full dose of laughs, Southern wisdom, and nostalgic (and sometimes absurd) stories.

[Johnny D]

Hunter is.

[Martin]

Hunter is walking over to the start of the duck call Room.

[Johnny D]

Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. You know, every once in a while we like to try and do some fan episodes where we on our social medias post questions or post a blank for you guys to ask us a question. Y' all did. We did. But before we now that's what we're gonna do today. So that's why Hunter's fourth chair, he's gonna be 80 Keurig, if you will.

[Martin]

Hey, hold on. But before that, Ethan is a fan. Where's Ethan from? Texas. Check out my new sticker on my laptop. Sigh. You got to put your headphones on. But yes, it's you riding a giraffe.

[Johnny D]

And it's you on top of the giraffe.

[Martin]

And he made it.

[Si Robertson]

We got. We got a giraffe.

[Hunter]

Boy, you've got so much stuff on your mustache.

[Johnny D]

And by the way, Today is size 78th birthday. We're making the old man work on his birthday side.

[Martin]

We twice.

[Si Robertson]

That's pitiful.

[Johnny D]

We don't apologize for that.

[Si Robertson]

That's beautiful.

[Martin]

I apologize.

[Johnny D]

But he did have a birthday hot chocolate.

[Si Robertson]

So if you know, hey, that's what time?

[Martin]

At a dragon sky riding a dragon.

[Johnny D]

A dragon.

[Si Robertson]

Forget the giraffe. Giraffe can't fly. A dragon can fly and breathe fire.

[Hunter]

You guys are so.

[Si Robertson]

What you got into?

[Johnny D]

I don't know.

[Si Robertson]

Poison oak? Poison ivy.

[Johnny D]

That's what they say is poison oak. I don't think it's poison ivy.

[Si Robertson]

Well, didn't you give you some of that Stuff that they smear on it. It's supposed to make it stop itching

[Martin]

cream, if you will.

[Si Robertson]

Cram creme.

[Johnny D]

Little creme fresh.

[Martin]

A little creme on a creme de la creme.

[Johnny D]

No, it just. Now it's been just like, kind slow growing and not been that bad, but, man, today it kicked it into overdrive for some reason. So I guess I'll leave here, huh?

[Hunter]

It looks gnarly.

[Johnny D]

It looks nar. Yeah. Oh, when I look down. So, look, I've been filming a deal all morning that involves me casting a rod. I was fishing in a gar hole. Mega gar.

[Si Robertson]

Oh. And that's the worst. Fishing in a gar hole.

[Johnny D]

Terrible, terrible fish. I caught two bass. But anyway, I was like, man, as I'm fishing, you know, it's a little warm. It ain't bad outside. But as I'm fishing, I'm like, man, my arms really itching today. But I had sleeves off, so I wasn't thinking about it, you know, I didn't think that about it.

[Si Robertson]

So I see that.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I see that.

[Si Robertson]

I make blues. That's what you got to get used to when you get old.

[Johnny D]

What'd you do?

[Si Robertson]

I just appear. No, that. I don't know.

[Johnny D]

No clue. Yes.

[Si Robertson]

You don't know how to. I have no idea. Boom. That's just there.

[Johnny D]

That's what your body decided to give you for 78.

[Si Robertson]

Some bamboo. Oh.

[Hunter]

You ever take a oatmeal bath?

[Si Robertson]

It was like in church. Yes. A guy was standing up, singing, and another guy was trying to get his attention, and he was speaking real soft while they were singing, and he couldn't hear him. He said, hey, yo. And he was pointing toward his arm. Well, he was bleeding. I mean, profusely. He had some. He had some blood running, you know, and he. I said, hey, that's what. That's another thing he gets used to. You just. You walk around, and then next thing you know, you. Somebody says, hey, Blair, you bleeding like a stuck pig. My dad blast you. Look. Hey, you. Blood running everywhere.

[Martin]

Yeah, my dad will just be like, all of a sudden, he's bleeding. It's weird, really old skin.

[Si Robertson]

Because I. I have no idea when that happened, but hey, it's just.

[Johnny D]

Well, I don't know when this happened either. Other initiatives progressively gotten worse.

[Martin]

Already getting old, gang.

[Johnny D]

And I leave here. I guess I'll go get a strand.

[Si Robertson]

Welcome to old age.

[Johnny D]

But whatever.

[Si Robertson]

Old age. That would be so cool, though, to have a pet dragon.

[Martin]

Thank you, Ethan.

[Johnny D]

I got a circle back to something before Sa talked about bleeding?

[Martin]

Yeah, he said it.

[Johnny D]

Did you ask me if I've taken an oatmeal bath?

[Hunter]

Yeah, it helps with rashes.

[Si Robertson]

Oatmeal bar bath.

[Hunter]

A bath? Oh, Philip, I. I don't know if you need to get, like, oatmeal soap for the bath or if you can just pour regular oatmeal in it, but I was once covered head to toe in poison ivy, and I took one, cleared it right up.

[Si Robertson]

Are you serious?

[Hunter]

I'm dead serious.

[Martin]

You put your whole body.

[Si Robertson]

Oatmeal bath?

[Hunter]

Yeah. I told my mom she was nuts,

[Johnny D]

and then I said it's like blueberries and bananas and oatmeal. It was hunter and oatmeal.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

And you're thinking me and a bowl of that would be a good thing?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Would it not be?

[Martin]

Did you bring a spoon with you?

[Hunter]

You know, I didn't think about it. I don't think I.

[Si Robertson]

That's bound to be a spoonful of meat. I guarantee you. Where that come from was the almanac.

[Johnny D]

Farmer's Almanac.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, Farmer's Almanac. I guarantee. Because same thing, we've got a. They're called bull nettles.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah. Stinging nettle.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. No, they got a real good seed in them that's very good to eat, but when them things sticky, it's rough, you know, and the only thing that you can do with it is pee on it. No, no, I'm serious.

[Hunter]

Is it like.

[Si Robertson]

It's like that poison oak, poison ivy, It'll drive you nuts because you're scratching it, and the only thing that'll make it stop itching is you pee on it.

[Martin]

Martin, will you let Cyp on your arm?

[Si Robertson]

No,

[Johnny D]

I'm sure he's pissed on me before at some point, so at least

[Martin]

he's got on you.

[Johnny D]

I mean, we've. We've been hunting and fishing enough together. I'm sure his urine has been on me at some point. Enough road trips and everything else. Like oatmeal baths? Yes. Oatmeal baths can definitely help with poison oat. Why do you have to take a bath? Why don't I just make a bowl of oatmeal and put it on my arm?

[Hunter]

I mean, you could do that, too.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Mean, I don't have none. I don't have none. Like, on my tally whacker or nothing.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, look, to make sure, you go ahead and take a bath.

[Johnny D]

Same culprit leads to redness, itching, sometimes blistering.

[Martin]

That way you Mike.

[Si Robertson]

Hey. That way you covered it Entirely. All bases are covered.

[Johnny D]

Why? It works.

[Hunter]

I mean, I guess there's.

[Martin]

You know how much oat milk you got to buy to cover Justin Martin in oatmeal.

[Johnny D]

That's why I said I'm just going to make a bowl and put it on my arm.

[Hunter]

They make these little packets for it.

[Johnny D]

I'm 280 pounds.

[Si Robertson]

He would need a 50 pound sack of oatmeal.

[Hunter]

Well, just go. Go to Bath and Body Works. Go, go find a packet.

[Martin]

Bath and Body Works.

[Hunter]

Oatmeal soap.

[Martin]

Why not the grocery store?

[Hunter]

Just light some candles.

[Johnny D]

Apparently Atheno makes a soothing bath treatment. Or you can grind plain oats into a fine powder. You need one cup to take a lukewarm bath in.

[Hunter]

You said you're taking a steroid shot. This could probably be better than that. So you'll at least.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no, it ain't. No doubt about that.

[Hunter]

Yeah, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

So no doubt about that.

[Johnny D]

Soak for 15 to 20 minutes.

[Si Robertson]

Anything natural is way better than anything that.

[Johnny D]

You know what it won't do? Remove the rash instantly. So your story's false.

[Hunter]

I said it would feel better. I didn't say.

[Johnny D]

You said that it was gone the next day.

[Martin]

That's not instant. That's overnight.

[Johnny D]

Pretty instant overnight. Overnight oats on me. Just sleeping oats. Just.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, look, you could have breakfast in the bathroom.

[Hunter]

Yeah, just. Just start eating spoonfuls of your.

[Si Robertson]

I'm serious. Break out the sugar, baby. And the blueberries.

[Johnny D]

When to use more than just oatmeal. This is disgusting. If you've got.

[Martin]

As a bath person, I'm totally against.

[Si Robertson]

You take baths. That's your own discretion.

[Hunter]

You take bath.

[Si Robertson]

The ingredients you add are yours. Yours.

[Hunter]

What?

[Martin]

Of course I take a bath.

[Johnny D]

All right, so here we go. Would you call this severe blistering?

[Hunter]

I don't know. That looks scary. Whatever's going on over there, if it

[Johnny D]

scares you, I think it. No, this isn't severe.

[Si Robertson]

No, that ain't severe.

[Johnny D]

I don't know. I've never had this.

[Martin]

Well, no, no, I'm calling that.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, I'll give you an example.

[Martin]

Moderate.

[Si Robertson]

So very obliterate. I was working on my Mustang. What? And the radiator blew up. Well, somebody had boiled it out with acid. Well, it blew up on me and on my T shirt. Well, so soon as it. I mean, this thing's hot. Well, I just helped it off of my body until it was cool. Then I went back to work on the stupid car. And look. Hey. Then I started hurting and I looked and raised my T. Shirt up. And my whole stomach was a blister.

[Johnny D]

Really?

[Si Robertson]

From that stupid acid the idiot had boiled the radiator out with. Now that's severe blistering, okay? It's when your whole body is just a bubble of blister.

[Johnny D]

At least he didn't.

[Si Robertson]

You sounded painful.

[Johnny D]

At least you didn't say dumb acid. Yeah, kind of has a different meaning. I'm glad he called it stupid instead of dumb. Rash on your face or genitals.

[Martin]

Okay, okay. Enough of your rash on your face and genitals.

[Johnny D]

I don't have any on my face nor my genitals.

[Martin]

Just go take an oat milk bath and you will. Is it oat milk or oatmeal?

[Johnny D]

Oatmeal. You grind the oatmeal and make a cup.

[Martin]

You get one of those giant things of Quaker oats and just pour it in there.

[Johnny D]

Now you got grinding.

[Si Robertson]

Make sure you bring the sugar and the blueberries. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

And just eat me.

[Si Robertson]

We're gonna have breakfast. We're gonna have breakfast in the tub.

[Johnny D]

Eat me. Just eat me.

[Martin]

I'm not opposed to breakfast in the tub, but I am opposed to breakfast in the tube as the tub.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with steroids, boys.

[Martin]

Martin, you know what I. I've always said.

[Johnny D]

What have you said?

[Martin]

The best food is actually cooked indoors in a good set of pots and pans. And we finally got that with Hexclad. These things are legit.

[Hunter]

I have some questions.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, we got questions. We're 11 minutes in. We ain't even had a question yet.

[Hunter]

There was one question. I know he takes baths.

[Martin]

Now how many questions?

[Johnny D]

Johnny D. I've known he take a bath.

[Hunter]

I didn't know that.

[Martin]

Take baths. What do you do? Just smell all the day?

[Hunter]

Well, I take a shower.

[Si Robertson]

He ain't in the bath.

[Hunter]

No, not really. But what does your bath look like to like. Do you light candles or anything?

[Martin]

How would I like candles?

[Johnny D]

Like they're already lit.

[Martin]

Oh, you sit down in the water,

[Si Robertson]

he takes a bath. And if he's not light candles, it's romantic in the air.

[Hunter]

That or just relaxing.

[Martin]

Well, I'm not a big candle guy. Never have been.

[Si Robertson]

Always read. It's going to get to relax. And let's bring the romances. I mean. Yeah. Right.

[Martin]

Allison is always invited.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, man. Hey. It's his own boy.

[Johnny D]

90% of the shots you don't take.

[Si Robertson]

Yep.

[Hunter]

Well, that kind of goes into the first question.

[Johnny D]

I. Go ahead.

[Hunter]

I found some questions on a site called Buzzsprout for some podcasting questions.

[Martin]

What these were fans questions? Well, I have some outsourcing our fans

[Hunter]

and then I have some from fan questions. I thought I'd mix it up these question some website again.

[Martin]

Sir,

[Johnny D]

we gotta get you a straw.

[Martin]

Happy birthday.

[Si Robertson]

All over your mustache. Hey, look.

[Johnny D]

[Hunter]

But it's. What is. What does your morning routine look like?

[Martin]

What's a morning rotating.

[Hunter]

Hey, my no minus mine is super.

[Johnny D]

[Si Robertson]

Mine is super. My routine morning is. Is about 10 o'. Clock. I hope my eyelids.

[Martin]

10 o'. Clock.

[Johnny D]

That's not morning. That's mid morning crunch.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, that's why I tell you that's

[Johnny D]

when mimosas get poured.

[Si Robertson]

Man, that's one.

[Martin]

People are super into like judging people by their morning routine.

[Johnny D]

I wake up, I take a shower.

[Martin]

Depends. What did you go to bed dirty?

[Johnny D]

No. If I go to bed. No, I'm still. I'm going to shower whether or not I took one right before bed or not.

[Si Robertson]

People are like that.

[Johnny D]

I have to. Why? It is part of My wake up routine, like getting in the shower helps wake me up. Like, that's just part of my thing.

[Si Robertson]

That's so boring.

[Johnny D]

What?

[Si Robertson]

It's boring. I'm.

[Martin]

What's that?

[Si Robertson]

Having a routine.

[Martin]

Thank you.

[Hunter]

Well, I mean, like, I think I'm more.

[Si Robertson]

I like to be off the cuff. No routine. It just depends on how I feel that

[Johnny D]

he's so full of crap.

[Si Robertson]

So what? Wait a minute, buddy.

[Johnny D]

You would be one of the easiest deer to kill there ever was. What do you mean you don't have a routine?

[Si Robertson]

I don't.

[Johnny D]

You've done the same thing for the last 20 years.

[Hunter]

I thought it was like, get up at 10, maybe eat something. Go watch Gunsmoke.

[Si Robertson]

That's pretty cool.

[Johnny D]

And then leave that. Leave the house at one o' clock to be here.

[Si Robertson]

See, that's to get the. That's to get the drive going in me.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, that's right.

[Si Robertson]

[Johnny D]

But then I get the boys out of bed and, you know, whatever. We either go to school or go to my mom's house. So wherever they're. Wherever their day leads them Now.

That was the greatest time of my life. Yo, that's when I started dating Johnny

[Johnny D]

D. What you doing in the mornings? I don't eat breakfast.

[Martin]

I don't eat breakfast either.

[Si Robertson]

That's a good one. I wake up and they say that is the most important meal of the day.

[Martin]

Put your mic.

[Si Robertson]

I've missed out on the. The most important things.

[Johnny D]

Got you Hot chocolate's fire.

[Si Robertson]

[Johnny D]

Nope. Sure didn't.

[Si Robertson]

Okay. It's close.

[Martin]

Yeah. So every morning's different, though.

[Si Robertson]

All right. Hey, get off the routine.

[Martin]

What's the next. That's for nerds.

[Si Robertson]

Get off the routine. That's for the next question.

[Martin]

That's for nerds that live the same day every day.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, that is. That is a question. Wake up. That is a question for my stretches. What is your routine?

[Martin]

Coffee. Read My book. Read some books.

[Hunter]

What about a story? What's your favorite story to tell people?

[Martin]

Story.

[Hunter]

Favorite funny story. What?

[Johnny D]

Hunter, we're 500 episodes. Yeah, okay, we've done those.

[Hunter]

All right, that's fair enough.

[Johnny D]

At the risk of. The risk of retreading down the same road.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we probably.

[Martin]

What's your favorite story to tell?

[Hunter]

I get it.

[Johnny D]

There was one time.

[Hunter]

All right,

[Si Robertson]

the main thing that the farmer told me was, don't shoot my breeding ostrich. Male.

[Hunter]

I'm excited for this question.

[Johnny D]

Long story short, he gone.

[Si Robertson]

He gone.

[Hunter]

So this. I was really just working up to this one. What's your favorite thing about yourself and why?

[Martin]

Who answers that? Oh, my God.

[Johnny D]

Honor. I'd like to ask you that question.

[Martin]

Turn it. Yeah, you answer it.

[Hunter]

I'm told I'm too spontaneous.

[Johnny D]

So you have no routine?

[Hunter]

I have no routine.

[Martin]

And that's your favorite thing about yourself?

[Si Robertson]

That's the favorite thing about you?

[Hunter]

Yeah. I recently had, like, a falling out with a whole friend group because of. Because of this as well.

[Si Robertson]

What?

[Johnny D]

You were too spontaneous.

[Si Robertson]

Oh. You lost all your friends because of your spontaneousness.

[Hunter]

They're stuck in their routine and their ways, and they were told you were stuck.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Tell them, hey. Tell them, hey.

[Hunter]

Like, challenging to be around.

[Si Robertson]

Come on out into the real world. Get up, you know, go to Walmart. Buy yourself a personality.

[Hunter]

But my girlfriend told me that's her favorite thing about me, too.

[Si Robertson]

Just, hey. Then nothing else matters.

[Hunter]

That's what I thought.

[Si Robertson]

All right. How do you go? Yeah. Hey, I like it.

[Johnny D]

Oh, it's not you, it's me situation, huh?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. All these years, I thought it was me.

[Johnny D]

It wasn't me with a friend.

[Si Robertson]

It was you.

[Hunter]

Actually, there was some miscommunication, but ultimately it said that you're just funny.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, that's always the problem. Okay, miscommunication. Jd, what's the most.

[Martin]

I'm. I'm. I don't know. I don't know what's happening.

[Si Robertson]

Hey. Be precise, son. What's. What is it?

[Martin]

I don't know. I'm just.

[Johnny D]

I didn't know Hunter was your fantastic taste in shoes.

[Martin]

That's pretty good.

[Si Robertson]

That's my favorite. That would be something to talk about.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Your fetish for all kinds of shoes. Whoa.

[Martin]

Don't think that's the word we're looking for, but, Ladies and gentlemen, buy me all feet. My favorite part about me is how much I love feet. Though I actually hate people's feet. I hate all feet. I like socks. I wear socks on the beach.

[Johnny D]

For crying out loud.

[Martin]

I don't know. I don't know what my favorite thing about me would be, because I don't. I'm just. I'm pretty. Well, just myself.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. I got nothing.

[Si Robertson]

Well, what would you say would be my favorite thing? About yourself? Yeah, about myself.

[Martin]

How you were able to take a nap every day for 24 and a half years.

[Si Robertson]

My wife. That just drives my wife insane.

[Johnny D]

You were able to nap?

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Because I would. Look, it was like one o'. Clock. No, I said, well, I got a poker game night. I said, I better go get me a couple hours of sleep. So I went in once. She said, I hate you. I went, whoa. You remember her? It took me 55 years and you hit me with that?

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

She says. She said, I can't go to sleep. And then here you fall just anytime.

[Johnny D]

I said, well, you do have a knack. That is.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that was my military training.

[Johnny D]

I gotta be honest. Maybe the answer to this question. I don't talk about myself because I don't care to.

[Martin]

You talk about yourself every day we're on here.

[Johnny D]

Well, I talk about stories in my life, but not about. I mean, what is your like? I mean, I love my wife, I love my kids.

[Martin]

Like, my favorite part about myself is I don't give a crap what anybody else thinks about myself. I am my favorite part of myself.

[Johnny D]

I think we've all pretty much lived that life in front of everybody that everybody knows we don't care

[Si Robertson]

and what. You should be that way.

[Martin]

I am myself. I like all the parts of me.

[Si Robertson]

The best part of me, even though. Okay, is that I make people laugh.

[Johnny D]

Do you do that?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. Which is which? No. No. Which is so weird. Okay. Hey, look. All my life, all my mentors, okay, like football coaches, teachers, you know, people you just meet, you know, they all was trying to give me advice on what to do, you know, they said, well, look, hey, what you do is you. You find what you. What you're really good at and they'll do it. Well, I'm 78 years old. I ain't found nothing out yet by. That I'm good at. But the fans tell me I'm good at one thing.

[Martin]

Making people smile.

I make them laugh.

[Hunter]

I have another one. This is a fan question. This time, hopefully it won't stump y'.

[Si Robertson]

All.

[Hunter]

What's your favorite sandwich and chip combo?

[Si Robertson]

Favorite sandwich and chip combo. That would be a fito chili boat. But that's not a sandwich that I call a sandwich. What about that

[Martin]

Frito chili bowl size? Favorite part about.

[Johnny D]

He's cutting the bread.

[Martin]

Boy, he don't give a crap about your question. He go answer how he wants to.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I don't want no bread.

[Johnny D]

He's just gonna tell you what he wants to eat right now.

[Si Robertson]

That's right. That's right. I want.

[Johnny D]

In case you're wondering, sa could really go for a chili pie.

[Si Robertson]

I see it. Plenty of Frito chips and the big dip type. And plenty of good sharp cheese.

[Johnny D]

And onions. And jalapenos.

[Si Robertson]

And onions and jalapenos.

[Hunter]

But if you were to add a sandwich to that, though, it's be called a chili.

[Si Robertson]

No, because it will be. Hey, my wife always tell me, you need to change that shirt, but I just ate supper, you know, because I

[Johnny D]

get it all over right now. You need to change your mustache.

[Si Robertson]

Why?

[Johnny D]

Because you got.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, hey.

[Johnny D]

Oh, here we go.

[Martin]

All right, well, I'll take over since now he has no microphone.

[Si Robertson]

Is it?

[Johnny D]

He's back, boys.

[Martin]

He's back. All right. I don't know.

[Johnny D]

How do you.

[Si Robertson]

You don't like fritos and chili?

[Johnny D]

Oh, I love a Frito.

[Martin]

I'm just saying. A chicken filet sandwich with waffle fries is way better than that.

[Si Robertson]

No.

[Johnny D]

Well, those are chip.

[Martin]

No, it ain't.

[Johnny D]

Just ask the people of England. Those are chips.

[Martin]

Oh, no, that's why. That's why I'm probably going with chicken filet and waffle. FR Fries. Chicken.

[Si Robertson]

That's why I'd rather have my sandwich in a bowl. What? Why with chips if you ate one of that kind of pie.

[Martin]

Oh, you know what?

[Si Robertson]

With a piece of bread, you're fast to get filthy.

[Martin]

Oh, what a burger.

[Si Robertson]

And then I'd have to go on Martin's here's ritual with Sonic. I think I had to go take a shower and change clothes.

[Hunter]

You know, the last time I did this when I was reviewing the episode, you guys, I think we never actually answered any question I asked. We either rephrased the question and answered a different one, and I feel like it's happening.

[Johnny D]

You know what you call that, Hunter?

[Martin]

My favorite part about myself?

[Johnny D]

No talent.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, that's it. I knew the name of that. That's talent, baby. When you don't.

[Johnny D]

Why do you think. Why do you think they hated deposing Sign a lawsuit. Could you imagine asking him a question? Why do you think you had to look at a judge and say, I'm not dumb. I'm funny like you.

[Martin]

Dumb and funny.

[Johnny D]

We are kings of avoiding the question.

[Si Robertson]

I wish. I mean, I wish I had that to show the viewers.

[Martin]

That's a hard question.

[Si Robertson]

Look, not only did the judge tell me, fantastic, Robinson, I've enjoyed you in my courtroom. So did the prosecuting attorney.

[Martin]

The prosecuting attorney?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Prosecuting attorney, prosecutor. He prosecutes people.

[Johnny D]

You don't say.

[Martin]

I'm only funny at dinner parties.

[Johnny D]

Some people are dinner party funny, other people are tv.

[Si Robertson]

That was funny because I, Willie and Corey had the roughest time keeping a straight face.

[Martin]

Oh, hold on.

[Johnny D]

How could you?

[Martin]

How did we get there from your favorite?

[Si Robertson]

He brought it up.

[Martin]

You didn't even give us a sandwich. You gave us a bowl of soup.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, no, I didn't give you a bowl of soup.

[Johnny D]

All right, I'm gonna answer the actual question. I'm go. Oh, man, I love.

[Si Robertson]

What's your favorite sandwich?

[Johnny D]

Peanut butter and jelly. 100%.

[Martin]

With what? Chips?

[Johnny D]

Jalapeno kettle cooked chips with a PB and J. Yes, sir. I like the spice. Okay, since we're on inboard ice next to the.

[Si Robertson]

No, he was just telling you what

[Johnny D]

he wanted to eat.

[Si Robertson]

Now we want. That's right. I would. All right.

[Martin]

Clam challenge.

[Si Robertson]

My sandwich. A blt.

[Martin]

No egg.

[Si Robertson]

No egg.

[Johnny D]

Unless you tell.

[Si Robertson]

But on one side of it, love

[Martin]

a good egg on the peanut butter.

[Si Robertson]

Thin layer of creamy peanut butter. Oh, no, don't. Hey, it'll make you slap your grandmama. That's how good it is.

[Johnny D]

That's it.

[Si Robertson]

And then you got to throw in

[Johnny D]

a few jalapeno peppers and what chip? Huh? What's your chip?

[Si Robertson]

The chip.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Frito. Fritos, baby.

[Martin]

You just like Fritos?

[Si Robertson]

Oh, hey, matter of fact, here. Here's one in the middle.

[Johnny D]

I do enjoy a chili cheese fruit.

[Si Robertson]

I get a. A pint of red salsa. Oh, it's kind of hot. And then I get a. A bag of the big dip Fritos scoops, and I ate the whole pint. They are these and a whole bag of Fritos.

[Martin]

Frito scoops are good with corn dip. You know what my favorite sandwich is? I got steak fajita with chips and salsa.

[Hunter]

No, I have never had a steak fajita sandwich before.

[Si Robertson]

They ain't bad.

[Martin]

Just a steak fajita.

[Si Robertson]

They ain't bad.

[Martin]

Well, you just put it.

[Hunter]

That's right.

[Martin]

What is a sandwich?

[Johnny D]

Hey, we've done this.

[Si Robertson]

Either that is have a good salsa.

[Johnny D]

You got to go back to, like, episode seven, but we've done this.

[Martin]

What is sandwich is a real good sandwich is a hot dog. A sandwich is a quesadilla sandwich.

[Si Robertson]

Well, it depends on what you put

[Hunter]

on the hot dog, I guess there's nothing stopping it from being a sandwich

[Si Robertson]

now if you run it.

[Hunter]

If it wants to identify as a sandwich.

[Johnny D]

If it's a Phil Robertson generation and their identification principles.

[Hunter]

Okay, like that.

[Si Robertson]

So, right. You're talking about. You talk about really good. If it's a Phil Robertson hot dog that he's run through the garden.

[Martin]

Oh, why would he put it.

[Si Robertson]

It's unbeatable.

[Martin]

Why would he put a.

[Johnny D]

Did you. I. You were probably.

[Martin]

I like ice cream sandwich.

[Johnny D]

You probably never got to. It's a good one. Hot dog day at the Robertson.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, I've never been like, oh, it is a production, bro.

[Johnny D]

Phil, you know you think of hot dogs is like, quick and easy. Yeah, like, quick.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no. This is a major production.

[Johnny D]

Phil would have 19 different toppings out on that table. And I mean, from crumbled bacon, jalapenos, banana peppers. It was almost basically, you could make a hot dog a pizza.

[Si Robertson]

Pizza. Yeah. And then you had.

[Johnny D]

You, like, where you got.

[Martin]

I've been.

[Si Robertson]

You started off trying to eat it with your hands, and then you went ahead and got you a fork knife.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Okay. And Chased down everything on it.

[Johnny D]

My favorite part was they had to be one specific brand of wiener.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny D]

The Wilson Weenies.

[Martin]

The Red Wilson Red Weenies.

[Si Robertson]

The Poppers. Yeah, that's what they call them. Pop.

[Johnny D]

They're bowling. They pop.

[Si Robertson]

They pop. And it split.

[Johnny D]

It's weird because they're the ones I'm in, like, the big strain.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. You buy them. Hey, you don't buy them in little packages like that. You buy them. Hey, they're a roll, yo.

[Martin]

Those are natural CA wieners.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, What? That's why they pop. Boy, are they good. What?

[Johnny D]

He can't say stuff like that.

[Martin]

You can't say natural case ring, red wieners.

[Johnny D]

Oh, you can, but, you know, then you just open it up to a lot of jokes. What else you got on her?

[Hunter]

Well, what. What kind of question do you want?

[Si Robertson]

I don't.

[Martin]

I want what you think.

[Johnny D]

I just don't understand. I don't know why PB&J get such a bad rap.

[Martin]

No, I love it. Uncrustable now. Yeah, it's my favorite thing. Ever since I was forced to eat them in the ice storm, I'm just crushing them. I do that honey one.

[Johnny D]

The honey one.

[Martin]

Oh, so good.

[Johnny D]

I'm a strawberry jelly guy.

[Martin]

Raspberry, good. Grape, solid raspberry. I already said.

[Si Robertson]

You don't like honey.

[Johnny D]

No, I like honey. I got no problem.

[Martin]

What you got against honey, man?

[Johnny D]

Nothing, except for fun.

[Si Robertson]

Part of that is actually getting it from the woods.

[Johnny D]

No, it's not.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny D]

We already did an episode on.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no, no, no, no.

[Martin]

The fun part of that honey is squeezing that little bear. Yeah, that's easier. All right, Hunter, what you got?

[Hunter]

All right. Without saying Phil, because I know y' all are going to say phil, this is a fan question. Who has the ugliest feet out of us?

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I'll volunteer.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I've been told.

[Hunter]

I thought that was weird. Weird enough.

[Si Robertson]

Ladies, I have beautiful feet.

[Johnny D]

I don't remember what his feet look like when we got those pedicures.

[Hunter]

I think he had a.

[Si Robertson]

That was a feet.

[Martin]

He had nice fear.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I have pretty feet.

[Hunter]

Oh, the lady, she said, you. You had woman's feet.

[Johnny D]

You had.

[Hunter]

Really?

[Si Robertson]

I've been told that a lot.

[Johnny D]

That's why I said I'm going to volunteer myself here and say, me like my feet. My feet are trashed.

[Martin]

You ain't looking at my feet.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, yeah. One lady told beach. One lady told me if I shaved my legs and we only went up to the thighs, they would Think I was a woman.

[Johnny D]

You go up higher.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, I'm serious. That's what they told me.

[Johnny D]

You could go higher than that.

[Martin]

I'm uncomfortable with the foot

[Si Robertson]

leave it so much.

[Johnny D]

I like having Hunter stuff to edit out. That's fun. All right, look. Springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y' all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's because of our friends over at Try Tells. Beef makes such a good product. Baby, ain't it good?

[Martin]

It's so good. It's our friend Si Robertson would say, fire on the grill.

[Johnny D]

Look, before we got Try Tells getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef come from. But with Tritails Beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while now. Look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribeyes on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire. That's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritels beef. I know inside case. Christine loves it, which is just a.

[Si Robertson]

She doesn't eat a big me. These are folks.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, just go to tribebeef.com. that's tribe.com duck support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

[Hunter]

All right. What are some stuff that excites y',

[Martin]

all making you edit stuff out?

[Hunter]

Okay.

[Johnny D]

Well, it is a pretty.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I started about 16 years old and go forward.

[Hunter]

I'm beginning to think I am asking all the wrong questions.

[Martin]

Yourself. How about yourself there?

[Si Robertson]

What exacts Me? Yeah, I just told you about me.

[Hunter]

What about. What about like present day stuff like if. When. When you leave here? Like what. What's the first thing you're gonna go after?

[Si Robertson]

What.

[Hunter]

What excites you on your way home? Maybe I'm asking this.

[Si Robertson]

He hadn't. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

You do realize we're all married.

[Si Robertson]

He don't realize how I work. What's the first thing you go after my wife and.

[Johnny D]

We can't.

[Si Robertson]

We'll move on. We'll move on. Oh, we don't want to move on.

[Hunter]

I was thinking like, I don't know, a movie.

[Johnny D]

You're thinking like, scratch off lottery tickets, a nice sandwich.

[Si Robertson]

I need to go to a bunch of oak trees that's got a bunch of squirrels in it.

[Johnny D]

That's.

[Hunter]

You're excited for squirrels.

[Si Robertson]

He wants to go squirrel. Then I was. Because I would kill me about eight of them, young ones, and then rush home, clean them and fry them up.

[Johnny D]

One thing I really look forward to are the days after my boys go to school and listen. Getting their daily recap because they haven't learned how to condense a day into a couple of sentences. It's generally about a 30 minute recap of their five hours.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah, whatever. They don't.

[Johnny D]

And. And there's nary a detail missed. But you do have to speak their language.

[Martin]

We're at the 8th interpret. How was your day?

[Si Robertson]

Good.

[Martin]

What'd you learn? I don't remember. That's what. That's what they give you.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, well, at 3, they give you the full rundown of, you know, this kid did this and this and this and this and this and this. And so it's. It's. It. It cracks me up.

[Hunter]

I like that.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, that stuff is funny.

[Martin]

I'm looking forward to dinner.

[Johnny D]

What y' all eating for dinner?

[Martin]

I don't know. I just texted her.

[Johnny D]

There you go.

[Martin]

I said, what's for dinner? She hasn't responded.

[Si Robertson]

That would have been a good thing to ask me when I was in school. No, that would have.

[Hunter]

What's your favorite quote? Just gonna.

[Johnny D]

What's my favorite favorite quote?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, what's the favorite show quote? Whoa.

[Si Robertson]

Probably do unto others that you want it done to you.

[Martin]

Isn't that a Bible verse?

[Si Robertson]

Can we just. I don't know, but that's what popped in my head.

[Johnny D]

I don't know. Quote. What is known as manageable.

[Martin]

What is known is manageable.

[Johnny D]

I do like that one.

[Hunter]

That one too.

[Johnny D]

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yep.

[Johnny D]

No way. Allegedly.

[Si Robertson]

No, Allegedly.

[Martin]

No. Allegedly.

[Si Robertson]

That's where it coming from. Because we did the research. Philip said, hey, I finally found it. Where. Where it's at? And I said, where'd you find it? He said, in your book. You made that in one of your chapters?

[Hunter]

I guess I don't really have a favorite quote, but I have, like, a. A poem that I like.

[Si Robertson]

You like poems?

[Hunter]

No, not really, but I like this one.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that's a quote.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, sort of.

[Hunter]

It's a really short poem. It's like four sentences, okay. Called a. A man said to the Universe by Stephen Crane. So a man does what a man said to the universe.

[Martin]

My favorite quote is from a movie when somebody got broken up with and Neil diamond said, love on the rocks ain't no big surprise. And every time somebody has been broken up with in any form or fashion in the last 20 years, I've gone, love on the rocks Ain't no big surprise.

[Si Robertson]

Ain't no big surprise.

[Martin]

That's so Neil Diamond.

[Hunter]

Neil Diamond.

[Martin]

We love you, Neil.

[Si Robertson]

Ain't no big. Hey. No big surprise Be crashed and burned in the rocks.

[Hunter]

Oh, I like this other one from. From Fallout, which. It's. I. I think it's. Everyone wants to save the world, we just disagree on how to do it. That's a good one.

[Si Robertson]

That's a good one.

[Martin]

Yep.

[Johnny D]

I was looking for something.

[Martin]

You're just looking for a quote.

[Johnny D]

No, I was like, is there one? I. I did popular quotes thinking, is there something that I miss? Like, is there an obvious one? But I do like the. What is known as manageable because in life and business and marriage and.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that's a profound. That's a profound statement.

[Johnny D]

Even if it did come from you.

[Si Robertson]

No, even if I did make it up, it is profound.

[Johnny D]

There's a lot of. There's. There's so many truths in that. To unpack.

[Si Robertson]

This is.

[Martin]

See, this is the problem. Yalls heads all went to something and I'm like remembering Dumb and Dumber when he said, who's the dead man that hit me in the head with the salt shaker? That's where I go to on quotes. Samsonite. I was.

[Johnny D]

Well, I'm surprised he's got the bill.

[Si Robertson]

I'm surprised that y' all didn't do the one. Not the biblical. The biblical one. Yeah, yeah. You know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

[Johnny D]

I don't know. Or Scripture. I mean, I guess they were spoken.

[Hunter]

I mean, I would say they're quotes.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Because that was one thing.

[Johnny D]

That's them red lettered ones.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, that's one thing I liked about Butch when he was here.

[Johnny D]

Butch in the.

[Martin]

Yeah, that Might be my favorite quote.

[Si Robertson]

And he went. He kept going back. Every time I'd ask him a question, he would come back biblically with something.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

I will say one that'll forever stick with me is when he said about being the tip of the spear, I

[Si Robertson]

was like, well, no, no.

[Johnny D]

Hey, my guy.

[Si Robertson]

Like, no, no.

[Johnny D]

Okay, My guy.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he flew that, what, F18.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Whichever one it was, we got him confused a bunch. I don't know if it was. Remember which ones?

[Si Robertson]

But what I loved about it is when he said he was in space and he's looking at the Earth, and he said, and I'm looking at what God created. And I thought, how unique of a moment that was for a human being to actually be in the stars, looking at the earth down through the stars. In other words, we usually look up.

[Hunter]

Okay. Itches.

[Johnny D]

I mean, I want to scratch it so bad.

[Martin]

Go take an oat milk bath.

[Si Robertson]

That's right.

[Martin]

Oatmeal bath. Whatever.

[Si Robertson]

Pour some hot chocolate.

[Johnny D]

Don't.

[Hunter]

Don't do that.

[Si Robertson]

I don't know if it'll help it

[Johnny D]

or not, but, hey, we tried, right?

[Martin]

Piss on it.

[Johnny D]

Hey, what else you got here, Hunter? If you want to. I want to ask for it. Ugliest feet. We did that.

[Hunter]

I'm just kind of.

[Johnny D]

Oh, this one I don't have.

[Martin]

I have a question from a fan.

[Johnny D]

Johnny D. Has got. I know that answer, and it makes me laugh. What? The most disgusting thing you've ever eaten.

[Martin]

A lot of gross things, Martin.

[Johnny D]

Have you. I just thought we were going to talk about a whole cheese. Yeah. We almost made a Honda.

[Martin]

No, I did make a Honda. I almost made five Honda. We're in the fanciest restaurant in about all of New Orleans in a private room, and Willie bet me 500 I couldn't eat a whole loaf of hog head cheese.

[Hunter]

A whole loaf.

[Martin]

It was more than you'd want to eat.

[Si Robertson]

Hog head cheese. Yeah.

[Martin]

And I got to the last bite and I puked everywhere in that restaurant. Willie is just dying, laughing.

[Johnny D]

And I love August, which is the.

[Si Robertson]

What is the biggest moment in your life?

[Johnny D]

Oh, what?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Biggest moment.

[Si Robertson]

That's how to word it.

[Johnny D]

I like that.

[Si Robertson]

That the most. Had the biggest impact on you. I like that moment in your life. It had the biggest impact.

[Johnny D]

I like that. That's good.

[Martin]

Well, you go. Because you asked it.

[Hunter]

I haven't lived enough to ask this. I think.

[Johnny D]

No, it's just to this point.

[Martin]

This is 78th birthday.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no. Probably when I actually married my wife.

[Johnny D]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

Because I was. I was literally still in shock that I actually did it. I can dig it because I'm so immature. No, I'm serious. I'm serious.

[Johnny D]

You said it.

[Si Robertson]

And I. And y'. All. And I said. I said, I can't believe you actually married the woman. You made decision and actually went through with it.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I got three. Three. Because they'd all be like, 1A, 1B, 1C. Kind of a deal.

[Si Robertson]

Start with a

[Johnny D]

Mother's Day 2011, when I finally quit running from Jesus and embraced him and got baptized 100%.

[Si Robertson]

What year?

[Johnny D]

Mother's Day of 2011. We're coming up on what.

[Si Robertson]

What actually caused the.

[Johnny D]

Caused the transformation.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

I've told you this.

[Si Robertson]

No, I don't remember

[Johnny D]

working here, listening to you and Jace and Godwin and, you know, going through it and then I attend.

Well, and then as I was reading in church that day, I went back to because I was going to church with y' all at watch fair, but I went back to mom's church because his mother's day. And I'm a mama's boy. Self admitted. Don't. Don't mind that.

[Si Robertson]

I'm proud to say I'm a mama's.

[Johnny D]

Hey, amen, buddy. Me too.

[Si Robertson]

And the.

[Johnny D]

I was just reading because we had been studying and was reading Acts 2, 38 and 39, where it says, repent, be baptized, receive the gift, the Holy Spirit, all that stuff. I'm paraphrasing and shortening it down, obviously. And as I'm reading that my grandfather was doing a Baptist recall on a holiday, I thought it was very bizarre that those things were lining up and

[Si Robertson]

then grandpa doing what he's supposed to do. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

And then I looked up and I'm like, hey, you idiot, he's talking to you, like, right here, right now. Why would I read this at this very moment? Right. Like reading in Acts 2 about the whole day of Pentecost, and that's when I get to 38 and 39, and I'm like, yeah, okay, let's do this. Let's do this right here, right now.

[Si Robertson]

Pretty wild when you think about it.

[Johnny D]

And so that would be 1A, because that surrender completely changed the rest of my life. And like you said, Mary and Brittany would be one B and C would be the day that them two little punks entered this world, you know, because that was a wild occasion. And that was.

[Si Robertson]

That's.

[Johnny D]

That was wild.

[Si Robertson]

I look at that, and I guess everybody's story is about the same in a way, you know?

[Johnny D]

Well, if those three things don't impact your life, we got a problem. We got. There's some kind of disconnect somewhere.

[Si Robertson]

I go back to what I said. I couldn't believe that none of y' all chose it. You'll know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And me being immature as I am,

[Johnny D]

I was stunned you didn't go with John 3, 16 and 17.

[Si Robertson]

No, I knew that. Well, I go to that one because it amazes me that the person that is qualified to judge didn't.

[Johnny D]

Didn't do it.

[Si Robertson]

Didn't do it.

[Johnny D]

Yep.

[Si Robertson]

That's always screwed my head up.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. The one man on this earth was

[Si Robertson]

qualified to actually do it.

[Johnny D]

Didn't do it.

[Si Robertson]

Didn't do it.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Johnny D, where you at? What I got you? What's your biggest.

[Martin]

I don't. It's. That's. I mean, yeah, it's all. But I would say the one that changed me the most was Carter. That changed me. Because, I mean, that's. It's a long Winding story of tears and great anguish. But.

[Johnny D]

But victory.

[Martin]

But victory.

[Johnny D]

Look at him now.

[Martin]

But, yeah, I would say, you know, marriage. I went into it knowing everything that there was to know about marriage. Just ask Allison. I was great.

[Si Robertson]

In your mind.

[Johnny D]

Y' all were both great at it.

[Martin]

Yeah, we were both awesome at it.

[Si Robertson]

So.

[Martin]

Yeah, but that. But I think, yeah, I. I was still. I mean, I got married at what, 12, 21.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

So I was still.

[Si Robertson]

Idiot.

[Martin]

And I. I think when Carter was born and everything we went through with him, I think that that jacked me up for a while. But I think that changed me more than anything. And then by the time Ben calmed

[Johnny D]

you down a lot.

[Si Robertson]

I've got. I've got to ask.

[Johnny D]

I'll give you that. As a guy who saw pre and post. Calmed you down a lot.

[Martin]

Just think if he's calling this calm.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, yeah, y' all at home and say he's too much.

[Si Robertson]

What did. What should I know?

[Martin]

Me.

[Si Robertson]

Then what about him changed you?

[Martin]

Oh, it's just becoming a dad to that. Just the first kid, Martin got the two for one sale.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I gotta. I gotta. I got to double it.

[Martin]

But yeah, I mean, I was. I was, you know, I was the immature guy trying to start fights at every slow pitch softball game. Not that I was gonna hit anybody, but I wanted somebody to hit me. Cause it'd be hilarious.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. He wasn't gonna be found. When the meat goes.

[Si Robertson]

I've got a reason why.

[Martin]

Yeah, but when Carter was born, I mean, it was like all priorities shifted, you know, Everything got flipped.

[Si Robertson]

You no longer existed.

[Martin]

I'm still here.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, no, but I'm saying the person. Because he changed you was always thinking about him.

[Martin]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny D]

Well, I think that's always all these biggest moments, right? Is when you put yourself aside.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah. Push yourself aside.

[Johnny D]

And in all the moments that have been named right here, it's everybody putting themselves aside. It's putting Jesus first, putting your wife first. Becoming something new, a new creation.

[Martin]

But I would say those other ones were all fun. Like our wedding day. That was a good time. Ben's being born. I was making jokes. Lottie being born. That was a fun one. Carter being born. Terrifying.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Pain, doom, suffering and all that stuff.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, but it made you.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

He made you who you are.

[Martin]

Oh, 100%. He.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, he.

[Martin]

He showed up.

[Si Robertson]

That's why I was saying.

[Johnny D]

And now he's hilarious.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, because Yarder, he's.

[Johnny D]

Carter. Carter, definitely dinner party. Funny.

[Martin]

I'd sucker walked out of the bathroom. The other night and said, dad might want to give that one a few hours. That was diabolical what I did in there. And I was like, son, that's the one in the hall. Like, it's the one in the living room, basically.

[Johnny D]

Oh, the half bath.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Johnny D]

Doorway to your bedroom.

[Martin]

And then he's like, all right, I'm gonna go take a shower and goes to his bathroom. I'm like, you. You're.

[Johnny D]

Hey, well, you don't want to do that. And then heat it up.

[Martin]

Get back in here.

[Johnny D]

You don't want to heat and steam that.

[Martin]

He called it diabolical was the club. Why don't you take the headphones?

[Hunter]

My ears are getting really hot.

[Martin]

He's got it. Your hair looks great.

[Hunter]

Oh, thanks.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Welcome to the world of ear sweat.

[Martin]

I am learning to play the drums now, so that might be what changes my life.

[Johnny D]

Drums. You're going to be a drummer?

[Martin]

I guess I got to teach. Ben's got some drums, so we're like learning together.

[Hunter]

My parents have this neighbor who's this older lady and every night that I'm at my parents house, she's just going at it.

[Johnny D]

Drums.

[Hunter]

See, every night.

[Martin]

I was doing it last night.

[Hunter]

No, she's between. Like, I know she's in her 60s, I think, but I don't know.

[Johnny D]

Is it like a rage thing, you think? Is that their rage room? Like, just go, beat this.

[Si Robertson]

Not that's wild.

[Hunter]

Feel like. But I wouldn't know for sure.

[Martin]

We went deep there for a second.

[Si Robertson]

There's so many beats.

[Martin]

I don't want to go deep.

[Si Robertson]

No, I'm serious. There's.

[Hunter]

Oh, I was trying to avoid it this time since.

[Johnny D]

Well, I mean, the man. 78, and he asked us a question. What's the biggest thing? Which by the way. Which, by the way, Time out. You didn't answer.

[Hunter]

I'm the one asking the questions.

[Martin]

That one big boy. Oh, well, yeah. What's the biggest thing? What's it? Tell me about it.

[Hunter]

Look, I have. Well, like I said, I don't think I've lived enough life to have an answer.

[Si Robertson]

You're saying I haven't had that moment?

[Hunter]

Yeah, like, I'm not married, I don't have kids. I have a movie credit though. That's.

[Johnny D]

But to this point, to this point in your life, what has changed you the most? You don't have to have a life.

[Si Robertson]

And I know that altering. Hey, I know the answers to that question.

[Martin]

What? For you, I would.

[Si Robertson]

I'm going to let you try to answer it first.

[Hunter]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Si Robertson]

The biggest. The. The biggest moment that impacted you the most.

[Hunter]

But no.

[Martin]

What?

[Hunter]

I want to know your answer.

[Johnny D]

No, you're not.

[Si Robertson]

I want to see what you say.

[Hunter]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Si Robertson]

Something tackle something that is.

[Hunter]

I had some crazy life altering stuff happen recently.

[Johnny D]

I've got.

[Martin]

Oh, hey, yeah, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I can look in your eyes and see. You've got it and you know it. You know the answer to it.

[Martin]

You don't want to go down that road. Well, I don't want to go down that road.

[Si Robertson]

Impacted you, huh?

[Hunter]

I can. I'm just gonna stick with movie credit

[Martin]

right now at that. Oh, we're getting real deep.

[Hunter]

Yeah. Or else We've got another 30 minutes of you guys saying. Are you okay, Hunter?

[Si Robertson]

Here's the answer to your question.

[Johnny D]

I'm in.

[Si Robertson]

That young lady. That young lady.

[Johnny D]

I'm willing to try down this path if you are.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, that young lady. Your day. Heavy path.

[Hunter]

Olivia.

[Si Robertson]

Olivia.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

That's the biggest impact that's hit you yet.

[Hunter]

It's one of them.

[Si Robertson]

That's it.

[Martin]

When you get married.

[Hunter]

You know, the thought has crossed my mind more recently.

[Si Robertson]

It ain't got that far yet.

[Martin]

Thought has crossed his mind more recently.

[Si Robertson]

This is like a Stew.

[Hunter]

You got 14 hour distance. Kind of sucks.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin]

You got to quit this stupid job

[Si Robertson]

and go to her.

[Martin]

This. Hey, this place is.

[Si Robertson]

There you go.

[Martin]

I'm just kidding. We love you. I would actually. I would probably cry if you quit.

[Hunter]

Oh, I appreciate that.

[Si Robertson]

You'd be.

[Martin]

I'd be over it pretty quick. But I would be sad.

[Johnny D]

I'd rally. But you're going to worry our group text would still exist.

[Si Robertson]

Yes. What is the Almighty going to leave us with?

[Johnny D]

Oh, and we've got a really fun group text we can add you to.

[Si Robertson]

Oh.

[Hunter]

Oh, I know what it is.

[Martin]

Martin. Martin. Martin.

[Si Robertson]

What? Huh? What?

[Martin]

What is what? What was the quote you kept saying?

[Si Robertson]

Well, I said, hey, what is the Almighty gonna leave us with today?

[Martin]

You can't handle the truth or something like that.

[Johnny D]

Well, hey, truth shall set you free. You don't know the truth and the truth.

[Martin]

Let's find out where that's at.

[Hunter]

That's A Few Good Men, right?

[Johnny D]

For real.

[Martin]

No, that's John 8:32.

[Johnny D]

You can'. The truth.

[Si Robertson]

You'll know that the truth will set you free.

[Martin]

Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:32. I'm trying to get to where I can read the full chapter. Yeah, that's going to be Jesus gang.

[Johnny D]

Jesus, our friend.

[Si Robertson]

Or you can go. If you have any doubt, go to John 1, 2 and 3 and read all three of them.

[Martin]

Read those. But John 8:32 is Jesus saying, you

[Si Robertson]

shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

[Martin]

All right, folks, we'll see y' all next time. Right here in the duck call room with Hunter.

[Si Robertson]

I enjoyed that. That was enlightened, Sam.
