[A]

Till you get to a town.

[C]

Why is that a turnpike?

[B]

What's a pipe? That's a fish.

[A]

That is a good question.

[D]

This is always northern.

[C]

Goblin's mind.

[A]

Why is it a turnpike?

[B]

It's a northern pipe when it goes straight.

[D]

Yeah.

Then why do you park on a driveway?

[D]

That's right.

[A]

Drive on a parkway.

[D]

That's right.

[B]

Drive on the park Turnpike.

[C]

It doesn't make any sense. No, but you know what does make sense? Having your duck stamp on your phone.

[D]

That makes sense. Digital.

[C]

Yeah. And look, you just need to head over to Duck because I had all.

[A]

My license on my phone and my duck stamp and a pack in the stinking blind.

[C]

Well, you don't have to worry about it now because you go toduck stamp.com and you can put that duck stamp right there by that picture of Ms. Paula.

[B]

Oh, you got to have it for you first.

[C]

Yeah, there you go.

[B]

Everybody remembers it first.

[B]

A duck stamp.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

He's got a lifetime license.

[C]

There you go.

[B]

I got him that. Well, my mom got him that when he was one.

[C]

There you go. That's the best money you can spend for a kid.

[A]

It's hung. We're here.

[C]

We're here, baby. We're here.

[B]

Our duck stamps are digital, of course.

[A]

We already been.

[C]

College football is great, so.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

How about the NFL, too?

[C]

NFL is gonna be great.

[A]

But it turned out right.

[B]

College football's better.

[C]

Yeah, it's better.

[B]

I've turned the leaf.

[D]

College is.

[B]

I have never been that guy, and I'm willing to say it.

[C]

What? College football is better.

[B]

College football is better.

[D]

It is.

[B]

For the first time in my life, I will say it.

[C]

Yeah. Well, it's kind of now, today with nil stuff, it's like semi pro, and.

[B]

They don't throw as many flags every play, and it's just.

[C]

It's better now. It was a rough weekend to be married to a Tennessee fan.

[B]

I just don't have a team, and I want to be a Tennessee with Brittany, but it was.

[C]

Well, you've been with us I so long. It ought to be an easy transition. Slide on over there.

[D]

Georgia come back and beat him. Did he? That's horrible.

[C]

They did, but it was a good football game.

[A]

It was good.

[B]

I felt bad for Brittany. You know my favorite part about when LSU and Tennessee and teams like that play?

[C]

What?

[B]

The iron cactus is wide open. You walk in, you don't have to wait. You just sit down, because my wife ain't gonna watch football anyway. Might as well go get good Mexican food.

[C]

There you go. It's. It's arguably my favorite time, you know, it is my favorite time.

[B]

We're not. We're not there yet, though.

[C]

We're close. We're on the doorstep. We can see it is still 97 outside, but there are some leaves starting to fall. They don't really change colors here, sadly, for all you people that get to see, like, all the cool colors are just kind of go from green to brown to go, which is unfortunate.

[B]

They gone quick, too.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

When they do leave, they leave. They hold on forever, but when they leave, they leave.

[B]

When our leaves leave, they leave.

[C]

They go. But now, man, it's. It's a great time of year. It's. It's where he could hear y'.

[A]

All. If I put this on.

[B]

Yeah, I got to hear.

[D]

You don't need to.

[B]

Is the fall the greatest season in the world?

[A]

That's different.

[D]

Is it different?

[C]

What's it sound like?

[A]

Somebody had a little head and had these on.

[B]

Who was there last?

[C]

Brittany.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

That checks out.

[B]

She does have a small head.

[C]

Yeah. I don't.

[D]

Nope.

[C]

I got a big one.

[B]

So is the fall your favorite time of year?

[D]

Oh, that's okay.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

What's your favorite spring?

[D]

Life.

[C]

None of them matter to say life. I can tell you what's not my favorite. Winter.

[A]

Winter.

[C]

A man likes to be warm at 77, he just wants to be warm now. So.

[B]

Yeah, from about January. Mid January to March 1st. That's just a bummer.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Because all the hunting seasons close, but it's still so cold.

[B]

You can't go out from now till Thanksgiving.

[A]

The white parts are biting.

[C]

Yeah. There you go. I just want to take this moment.

[A]

Anyway.

[C]

To apologize to anybody. If you run across me and my kids and you see them peeing out wherever we are, we're in. We are deep in the throng of potty training. So if they say that they got a pee, we stop and pee, wherever that is. So you see me pulled over and my kids out there with their pants around their ankles, you drive on by laughing wave. Because I'm trying to quit paying for so many dad gum diapers.

[D]

Hey, it's freedom. It's about the freedom, boy.

[A]

Hey, Joanna's fixing to have a diaper. What do they call them things?

[C]

A diaper party shower.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Good. Get them all. Don't worry. Don't, don't. Don't get a bunch of them newborns, though, because they get out of those pretty quick. Go heavy on them. Onesie. Twosie.

[D]

Onesies, Twosies, Onesies, twosies.

[C]

They. They stay in them for a hot minute, but now mine have decided to camp out in fives, and I'm ready to get them out of there. We had a good weekend until yesterday, and then I got peed on, and so.

[B]

Oh, you ain't living.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Has any of them peed over your head yet?

[C]

No.

[B]

Oh, it's gone.

[C]

Oh. This one just peed in my lap while we were riding the Kawasaki around, so he got so excited, he forgot he had to pee.

[B]

I've been peed on many times.

[C]

He just peed. He just peed on him and me.

[B]

Have you been to Broken Bow?

[C]

Nope.

[B]

Oklahoma they got this big maze there.

[C]

You pee there?

[B]

No.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

But your kids might have to. The problem is, it's a maze.

[D]

You can.

[A]

Okay, where is it at?

[B]

Somewhere up there in Broken Bow, there's a man. It's like.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It's ten foot tall walls. So I. I don't know how to get out of here. And my kids didn't know how to get out of there. And Lottie was like, I'll just get on your shoulders. And I was like, that's cool.

[C]

Oh, she peed on your shoulder?

[D]

Oh, hey, that's why. That's. I'm on that head of that draft up there. I could see where I'm going.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

I can't get out of the maze. And they would. I mean, you eventually got to go to the bathroom in the maze.

[C]

I didn't. Yeah, I didn't.

[B]

I don't do mazes anymore.

[C]

Yeah, I would. I would think that getting peed on on your shoulders is a different level of violation than. He was just sitting in my lap.

[B]

Carter almost peed on my head one time. You know my kitchen, how it's up off the ground and there's like, seven steps up to it? One time I was walking under. You got to walk past the door, then you go up the stairs.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I felt the presence above me.

[D]

A presence above.

[B]

It was a presence. And I looked up, and there was just an arch.

[D]

It was an arc going from the.

[B]

Kitchen out the kitchen door all the.

[C]

Way to the wall.

[D]

Was it an angel?

[B]

No, it was Carter Angel.

[D]

Oh, okay.

[B]

It was impressive. I tried later. Couldn't make it that far. It didn't get on well. There was some splatter that touched me.

[A]

Not as much pressure.

[B]

Yeah, the pressure's gone.

[D]

We literally have talked about everything.

[B]

So when does the pressure.

[C]

We have to talk about everything? Because I didn't talk about R. Kelly, but that was a perfect time.

[A]

About.

[B]

Who I go into that concert. When does the pressure completely go? Because I've noticed it's dropping.

[D]

Well, no, you have to ask somebody about that. Oh, probably when you die.

[C]

What?

[A]

No, it sounds.

[C]

I've heard you, Pete.

[A]

Yeah, it sounds like your pressure is gone.

[D]

No, it ain't gone.

[C]

It is gone.

[B]

Like, I'm just saying. What? You had to start straddling the toilet instead of standing back?

[D]

Y' all leave this whole way alone.

[C]

I can confirm that. At. At 40, you want to get a lot closer to it than you used to have to. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Just wait at 30, seeing it.

[C]

I'm not one of Them that's got to walk up to it yet and you know, like get on it. You got to get closer than you used to.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

And because you still, you know, you splash it everywhere, all over. You got too close now checking, you slide on up there. Was that some fun? Like we were in public the other day and Wayland said go tt in the urinal. So I was like, okay, let's go buddy. I like it. Well, the first thing he wants to do, they had a little stool in there. He got up on the stool. First thing I see them.

[B]

No, no, no.

[C]

Them hands headed straight for that urinal cake. And I'm like, no, no, no, no. So there I am holding a naked boy up like this, you know, like because for some reason, I don't know. Is this all?

[A]

They ought to have Heinle bars hanging up there.

[C]

They can't. For some reason they can't pee with clothes on. Like shirt got to come off. Like all. I don't.

[D]

It's about freedom, I'm telling you.

[C]

I don't get it yet. But like it's like me naked so I can pee.

[D]

I. Freedom.

[B]

Yeah, I don't like. I don't like that.

[C]

But any. I mean, I don't know.

[B]

I don't like peeing naked.

[C]

I don't know if there's any potty training advice, but I'm interested.

[B]

But you just gotta let them go.

[C]

That's what. Yeah, I mean that's what we're doing.

[B]

The best way to potty train a boy is the exact same way you train a dog. You open the back door and you give them candy when they come back inside.

[A]

A bail on the door handle.

[D]

You do what you do what Trump Tower did for Jason. Take them outside.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Well, they this way enjoy God's creation.

[C]

You come by my house between 7:30 and 8pm there's going to be generally dueling banjos of, you know, almost three year old kids peeing in the front yard. Well, I don't know why they like the front yard. That's about the backyard.

[B]

But they want to go with the backyard.

[C]

No, they want.

[D]

Hey look, they're at that age. They've got it. They're floating it can't sell you.

[A]

Who's going down the road in the backyard?

[C]

That's true.

[D]

I've gone west.

[B]

You from country?

[D]

I got a. Them boots right, good.

[B]

Well I know what you can do anything and look good in those.

[C]

That's exactly right.

[D]

And they are comfortable.

[C]

Look, the leaves are starting to change. And when the leaves change. So does your footwear. You go from flip flops to boots, baby. It is boot season and to Covis knows that y' all truly means all. So whatever size, style or need, you're going to find the perfect western boot. Dress them up, dress them down. There you go. I mean, my man wearing it with a sweatshirt.

[A]

Somebody called me up in the airport. Boy come up to me and said, you're Jeff. I said, okay.

[C]

No, you have one of them red and white sticks.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Now, I mean, he should have.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I said, no, if they call a new Jeff, I know there's a lot.

[B]

Of people you could be.

[C]

I said, I know, but yeah, you and Jeff. That's a tough one. I don't know how you get to.

[A]

I'm trying to find Big, biggest fan.

[B]

I love the Robinson so much, Mr. Jeff.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I said.

[C]

I've been called Goblin a many times, and it always puzzles me, but I guess on that, they got a 5050 chance. Of the ones that ain't in the.

[B]

Family, you're the two ancillaries. As long as I don't get called.

[C]

Mountain man or Jimmy Red, oh, Lord have mercy.

[B]

There was a Duck Dynasty thing the other day on Facebook. They posted it and it was like, shout out to the. I think they called it Ancillary characters of Duck Dynasty. And it was like a clip of me then Mountain man. And I was like, this is good company. You've made it, Jimmy Redd. I was like, I fit in here.

[C]

And all the differences, you're actually related.

[B]

I'm still ancillary, sir. I will take that and run with it. I take great pride in that.

[C]

Well, if you're ancillary, what does that make me and Goblin? Because I would have put us in there too.

[B]

Now, y'.

[C]

All.

[B]

Y' all like. Y' all were full time employee cast.

[C]

That like A, B, C after C is ancillary. Is that. Yeah, I don't really.

[B]

I don't know if you heard.

[A]

We made it. We have arrived.

[C]

Boy, look at that.

[B]

Did they. Ain't that so if you're paying off your front porch, you really have, though.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Well, my front porch is facing the woods.

[C]

Yeah. Goblin. Yeah. Goblin's front porches. You can't see nothing there.

[A]

No.

[B]

I'm confused.

[C]

Yeah. The way his house lays out. Like you pull into the side of Goblin.

[B]

That's right. Okay, I get it. I would have just called that your front.

[A]

Well, that's what followed down the hall at the front. And she calls the back by the shop the back, but it's actually the side.

[B]

I would. I see where you're coming from, and I agree with her.

[C]

But if you pee out of your garage, that would be fun because you got that steep driveway. You can make a pretty good trail all the way down here.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Thirteen minutes into ping.

[C]

Well, I mean, that's just where my life is right now.

[A]

It just about takes that long the older you get.

[B]

I don't.

[A]

That's not as quick as it used to be.

[B]

I can't even, like, fill up with gas before I get bored. I can't do that.

[A]

I know. I'd be sitting there and thinking, okay, when's this gonna stop?

[C]

That's why he has a cup of coffee. You ever hide yourself and say, when's this gonna stop? But also, when's this gonna start?

[D]

You make fun of them. You make fun of them when they're kids, and then when they get old, you make fun of them again.

[B]

I'm pretty sure we just make fun of everybody. Side.

[C]

The most important is we sit here and make fun of ourselves, too. So we try not to take ourselves too seriously. And. But that's. Yeah, man, I don't really know where to go other than really hung out.

[B]

On peeing for a while.

[C]

I do. I know everybody. Every time you're on here. I know. Even on my social media, people are always wondering about updates of your grand youngins. How are. How are we progressing? Everything still going good?

[A]

Look, I took her to. I got to go and watch her put that transducer thing on her belly again.

[B]

You just call timeout?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Did you just call the ultrasound machine a transducer?

[C]

Yes. Live scope.

[A]

Ultrasound. That's what it is.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Live scope.

[A]

I forgot what it was called, but that's what it.

[B]

Transducer. You might be right now.

[C]

It is.

[A]

Oh, it is.

[C]

They do the same thing. Shoot out waves and send back a picture.

[D]

I always, always want.

[A]

They made my owner belly. And that one, she's got them named. I can't tell them they look the same.

[D]

And.

[C]

Baby A and baby B. Yeah.

[A]

And push her. She pushes with her feet.

[C]

She's a kicker.

[D]

No, no. That's what amazes me about. First time I watched when Tracy kicked a plate off of my wife's belly. And you just. I mean. I mean, not. You know, this was like an NFL kicking a field goal.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

This sucker left the belly and went through the air, you know? And then I'm looking and look, you can see the footprint on her belly.

[C]

What? That's.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

Oh, yeah. They say they. Where they supposed to be. Everything's going good. There ain't no baby to baby transfusions and no surprises. No surprises.

[B]

That's good.

[C]

I'm jealous.

[A]

Everything.

[D]

Well, the prayer.

[A]

I'm about four days ahead of the.

[D]

Well, the prayers are working.

[C]

Oh, and.

[D]

And like, Lane, every time I think about it, I'll say a prayer for Joanna.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That's what they call air bubble. Belly bubble, something. Bladder bubble. They looking at that?

[C]

Oh, I have.

[B]

It's been a while since I've had.

[A]

I don't know. That's what that.

[D]

That's still just amazing that the human body.

[C]

No, they're girls.

[D]

Makes room for all of that. To be on top of her. All of her intestines and everything in her. Yes. It blows my mind.

[C]

Times two.

[D]

Yeah. No, no, it is. Yeah. These things are growing.

[A]

Yeah, they be.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

But she got about eight more weeks.

[C]

That's it. Two more.

[B]

Where is time going?

[A]

No, no, no, no, no, no. That's about 18 weeks.

[D]

Yeah. I think I. They say.

[B]

I mean, I have felt like times moving at a diabolical rate right now, but when you said that I've missed the last 10 weeks.

[A]

He's a little past halfway.

[C]

See? A little past half.

[D]

That's good.

[C]

Yeah. So a couple of more weeks to viability and then let them cook. Keep them in there long.

[A]

As I said, that looked like. I forget what she said something, but it said, looks like they'll go longer than what they thought. That's awesome, because I was thinking they was going to have to do something at like the end of December or.

[D]

What will they do if they.

[A]

If you do the middle of January, maybe the first of the year.

[C]

Yeah. There you go. That's awesome, man.

[A]

December 31st to be perfect.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

For them. Yeah. Because they claim them on taxes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

January 6th. Lottie, good work.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Those hurdle. Those sting a little more.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We ain't really figured that thing out. Why we stopped. Carter came out about half baked. Lottie came out about six days late. You know, we were like, we've had.

[C]

Enough of this Russian roulette. Yeah.

[D]

I can remember. God's butt fit in my hand.

[C]

His booty fit in your hand?

[D]

His butt fit in my hand.

[B]

How much did he weigh?

[C]

Do you remember?

[D]

It wasn't much. About two pounds. I think maybe. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. It was ridiculous.

[C]

He was super early.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

That's crazy. Well, we. We. The prayers the same. Keep. Keep trucking. And hold them in there as long the line. Hold that tiger. Hold them in there.

[D]

I'll never forget the doctor, you know, he had to take Scott into surgery, you know, and when he called us, me and Christine, and I said, well, I apologize for you. I said, you apologize for what? Yeah, and he said, because I. You need to know about. Yeah. I said, no, you did what you had to do to save him. So I. You don't owe me no apology, you know.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

There you go. Save him. Saved her. Ain't no apology needed.

[D]

Ain't no apology needed. I said, you. Yeah. Last person you're going to want to, you know, do what you got to do.

[A]

She said she ain't never been so sick and hungry at the same time.

[C]

I can. I can confirm with Britney, she never got full. Like, she got to a point where she would quit eating because there was just no more room. But her, like, her hunger was never satisfied during the twin pregnancy. It was the craziest. But, you know, you put, you know, you put a tablespoon of food down and she's like, I'm about to bust.

[D]

Oh, no.

[C]

I mean, because there's, you know.

[D]

That whole process blows my mind.

[C]

Look, duck season is here. You got your shotgun, you got your decoys, you got your blind bag. But none of that matters if you don't have your duck stamp, right? And now there's no excuse to not have a duck stamp because it is digital. Thanks to our friends [e-mail], you get the all new digital duck stamp. It's super simple. It's in your wallet, on your phone, no matter who you got, Android, iPhone, all the things. And then you've always got. It doesn't matter about service. You don't have to worry about it getting wet. You don't have to worry about any of the things that you would normally worry about. It's right there. Scan it. Go. Even if you don't have service, it is still readily available on your phone. So we are making duck hunting easier. We are. We are taking the legalities and making them that much easier. You'll be legal and ready to go, even if you're off the grid. Plus, every stamp helps protect wetlands and keep the duck population strong for the next generation to enjoy, too. So it's not just a legal thing. It is a legacy thing. And duck stamps are cool, man. Like I have a collection duck.

[B]

Is that this year?

[C]

That is an eider. An eider either. Yeah. I don't know which one. There's a bunch of different ones. That is definitely an idea. And they change it every year. So right now I know the contest is going on for next year. And so it's a. It's a cool thing. They are. I mean, they're collectible for sure. If you don't hunt and care about animals, they are a great thing to do. Plus, you know, a duck stamp will get you into a lot of national parks and things. They are your admission tickets. So do like I do. I buy multiple ones for other people, for my kids that don't need them yet, just so that you got them. Look, you want to know more about it? Super simple. Go to duck stamp.com and grab yours. Now let's do some good and go shoot some ducks. That's duck stamp dot com. What else you been doing, Ms. Paula? How Ms. Paula do? She is Ms. Paula begun nesting with them yet?

[B]

Grandparent name.

[A]

Oh, good. Do we.

[C]

[C]

So Paco.

[A]

[C]

Okay.

A bit of a deviation from the memos and the papaws of the world, but I love it.

[D]

Yeah?

[C]

Yeah. Well, there ain't many mammals and papaws left.

[B]

Everybody trendy.

[C]

[A]

I call my grandpa Grandpa.

[C]

Grandpa G. Paul. Yeah.

[D]

Well, I went to get my hunting license from him. I got tickled at Dave.

[B]

He owed me $5.

[D]

Well, he come walking outside, he said, I didn't even know that was you. He said, let me give you a hug. I said, I don't need a hug. Dave said what I was going to. I said, dave, I don't need a hug. I said, I'm good.

[B]

Hey, Big Dave's big day. Teddy bear these days.

[D]

Well, he just. He hadn't seen me a long time. Yeah. He wanted to give Me a hug.

[C]

Hey, 10 out of 10 recommend, if you get bored one day, go sit up there at that table with him. Well, you will laugh, buddy.

[D]

Well, no, no.

[C]

Just telling you that.

[D]

You know, that. That's what I grew up with down at the store.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay. And y' all need some boat parking, right?

[B]

We need a lot of things.

[A]

I can't pull in there.

[D]

You ain't got much room in there, right?

[B]

Yeah, ain't got much parking. Yeah, it's a situation we're looking at.

[C]

Yeah. Not much to look at, but no parking. But they added another container for stuff.

[D]

But you talking about that. It was a lot. It was a lot of kidding and ribbing each other, huh? And a whole bunch of laughter.

[B]

Well, that's what happened when you walked in. Because all of a sudden, I hear. I thought, no offense to the crazy fans out there, but I thought, well, who is this person? Because I couldn't see it. Somebody walked in, goes, where's Martin? And I was like, who is this?

[D]

Yeah, who's it?

[B]

I'm here looking for Martin. Got us confused. And then James at work for us was like.

[C]

I don't know what to say. Oh, Jimmy.

[B]

And he got. I think he got starstruck.

[C]

James said, martin ain't been here in a month.

[B]

And then I said, oh, it's. And then d. Dad heard him and said, I'm gonna go give s. Hug. And then I was like, nah, bro. Yeah, Big day's cuddly now, man.

[D]

Well. Well, I mean, just. It's. It's. You know, that's the robber thing.

[C]

Well, you don't, like, hug.

[D]

Well, give him a hug. Yeah, I normally look at that.

[B]

He's not why he stuck.

[D]

No, no. I remember the first time, though, that Phil. When he got his life straight with Jesus and a man hugged him.

[B]

Oh, I thought he was gonna say Phil hugged me.

[D]

No, no, the look on Phil's face, you know, and then K said, hey, look, there's nothing wrong with him. He loves you. He's saying he loves you is all he said.

[C]

You know, now that I think back on it, yeah, I obviously never hugged Phil. That was weird.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I think I've hugged every old man at church but Phil.

[C]

I'm just trying to remember if Phil and I in our relationship ever even shook hands. It wasn't a lot of. Wasn't a lot of contact.

[D]

No, no, probably not.

[C]

You know, I slept on his couch. I. I did all the things, but I don't know that we ever intentionally touched.

[B]

I don't know that I've ever physically touched Phil Robertson. Now that you say that.

[C]

Well, I mean, getting in a duck blind, me crawling through them little tiny things, I definitely touched him. But, like, I don't think that any of it, you know. Well, he did use me as kind of a ladder one time to cut a limb where he kind of, you know, put a foot on my shoulder. And that would have been intentional, but that's about it. When it comes to intentionally touch. If it was always a means to an end, it was never, hey, buddy.

[B]

God, when you ever hug Phil, knock his hand.

[C]

You did shake his hand. See, I don't know that we ever. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. I don't remember one. I'll say that.

[B]

Just give me the whole two finger. Oh, yeah, that was handshake.

[C]

When you got within five feet of him, he stopped you with a nod.

[D]

Like, yeah, yeah, don't come in. In my space.

[C]

Yeah, it was.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

He would stop you with a nod in your name, Martin. And that was it. He's like, I. Alert. Alert.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

So when that guy.

[D]

Don't get in my space. Okay.

[B]

When that guy hugged Phil, he didn't. Did he come, like, hug you later?

[D]

I know that was. But k. Yeah. I got so tickled at K trying because the look on Phil's face was that boy squirtly. And Kay said, you don't have to go there. This man just. He loves you. He's a brother, for crying out loud. Ah, look at. There it was. And she, you know, she just had, you know, she said, when are you going to get over? You got a phobia about this, you know, and he probably did. He really did. Because, you know, anything. What about emotional. Any. Any kind of emotional showing? Yeah, no, that. That. That's out.

[C]

Yeah, Phil. Phil had a really good grip on you, though, when he's baptizing you.

[D]

Oh, no.

[C]

Well, from what I watched, he never let anybody go. He would. He would. He would allow that touching, like the grab of his arm and stuff.

[D]

Like he was. When he was doing it, he was thinking about how bad he was. So he said, I'm gonna hold this sucker down a little longer.

[C]

Well, it's so funny thing about too, when you look at the difference between him and Kay. Like, never did that with Phil and Kay. I bet I hooked her three times a day when I was down there, when you got there after lunch as a thank you and then before you left and, you know, you got three solid hugs a day, especially when she'd.

[D]

Hand you your checks at whole left for three days.

[A]

Oh yeah. Don't cash is till Monday.

[D]

That's right. Don't cash this.

[C]

She start that pull. She start that pull back.

[D]

Yeah, you said that hole. You're sitting down. You're doing this. She's got all. You got all of her. You gonna let. You gonna let it go? Okay. He said I will when I get. You know, I gotta tell you about.

[A]

Hey, don't just wait till it clears.

Yeah. We really should have looked at him and seen if that was a six toe or not, you know, like that would have been worse. Studying. What was that? That was wild, man. It would bust. Smooth out the.

[D]

Well, his, his toe, his big toe actually fit over his. The next one.

[C]

Huh? And that knob would come. And the knob would come straight out to shoot.

[D]

No, no, the knob was like this.

[B]

Like I kind of holding an Entire stack.

[D]

Oh, no. I mean it was that big round on the side of his.

[A]

He always told me, you got to get a size bigger shooting your feet will be warmer. Well, no, no, that was just so he could get his foot in a sheet.

[D]

Oh, no, that's what I feel. That's what he said. Called it is because he wore shoes. We went. We got a lot of handed downs and he wore shoes that were too little for him.

[B]

Is that what did it do his feet?

[D]

He said that's what did.

[C]

That's why when he finally made it, he said, oh, he's going to get a pair too big.

[D]

That's why. Yeah, he always.

[B]

He was a 12, wasn't he?

[C]

Yeah, well, he was a 12 and a 2X, so he was really an 11 and a large.

[B]

But my man, that man was not a 2X.

[C]

He was.

[A]

He didn't like tight shirts.

[C]

But buddy, he did not want nothing. He wanted to wear like a pillowcase or a bed sheet or something.

[D]

I don't remember what it was, but it wasn't camouflage. He come in the blind one morning and Chase says, what you got there, dad? You know, he said, what are you talking about? He said, what, is camouflage optional these days?

[C]

Oh, that's opening day.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

He wore a red flannel. Yeah, yeah, he wore a red flannel. No face paint. I was like the most.

[D]

No, no. I laughed at Jay's because Jay said, I guess camouflage is optional.

[A]

He told me my beard flared up and he come in there with red flat docs.

[B]

Just what that was a picnic table.

[A]

A man would spray paint a broke off limb.

[D]

Yeah. If you cut a limb.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

The next thing you hear was, yeah. You talking about paranoid.

[C]

Well, if you broke a limb yourself, the first thing you heard was easy on my brush.

[D]

That's right.

[C]

He had that line. He said, you know, that stuff will bend, right? You don't have to break.

[D]

You don't have to break it out.

[C]

Here's some strain. And then. But if you did break it, here comes. But he did. He showed up at one morning in a red flannel. He said, hey, hey, this thing right here, Cut that wind.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

And I'm like, it's a dag gum flannel.

[D]

Whatever.

[C]

Mean it'll come.

[A]

First year we got that real tree. Max five. Was it max five?

[C]

No, four.

[A]

Four. Yeah.

[C]

Oh, yeah. When he spray painted the shotgun, he.

[A]

Told Bill, he said, let me tell you something, Bill. You don't need the hd. You need the low D. Yeah.

[C]

It took out a can of spray paint to the shotgun waiters and everybody new.

[D]

I mean, out of the box.

[C]

He said, that's awful bright.

[A]

Awful bright.

[C]

We all got spray painted. Our guns got spray painted. Everything got spray painted.

[B]

That is the most.

[C]

He didn't crack.

[D]

Benelli's the best one, though. Him and James bowles would say, hey, you flared the ducks. And then when you asked him, I said, hey, look, you both of you idiots need to look where y' all standing. And I don't want to get weighted with it, okay? But I'd say, hey, both of you idiots, look. They need to look where you're standing if anybody's flaring them. Huh? You two need to look in the mirror.

[A]

I'd have to shoot three times just to shoot my way out of the bush to get a shot.

[D]

All I could get out was my gun barrel.

[A]

I just. As soon as the group come over, I just went, boom, boom, boom. I'll shoot brush out of there so I could see. Yeah, they piled everything in the middle. No, no, the two ends was over.

[D]

And not only that, he's short, okay? So.

[C]

Yeah, that's what. What he said. That morning we were at the elmhole, Phil said, why didn't y' all shoot the ones in the decoys? He looked at. He can't see the decoy.

[D]

They lit the dec. God said, I can't see over the brush in front of it.

[A]

I said, I can't see the water.

[C]

Well, the problem is God would. Yeah, okay. You can make that argument with God when he's five, nine.

[A]

Seven.

[D]

Five, seven.

[C]

I was giving you a little. But I'm six five standing right beside him, and I can't.

[D]

You couldn't see either? No, no.

[A]

He said, not a shot was fired.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Ducks on the water. I said, never saw. I can't see the water.

[C]

Yep. Never saw. Yeah.

[D]

Oh, man.

[C]

That's what was kind of. Yeah. I. I realized that this year, without fail, in there. Then they get on that end, and I'd walk down there. I'm like, well, this is a whole new world. Oh, no, this is.

[D]

And it's open.

[C]

Wow. You can kill something down there.

[D]

It's open, too. All right.

[C]

Hey, I get you. I see you, but. Oh, man, you miss that crazy old coop, don't you? He had a. He had a way with words. Yeah. It's going to be a lot different because last year we go hunting, and we could still slide down there and talk to him after. So, like, Saturday will be. It'll be different because you can't Slide over and go talk to him. I mean, I guess the cool thing is now you can talk to him sitting right there like, I mean, you. You can talk to him as much sitting right there as you can at his house. So it'll, you know, it's a. It'll be. But it'll be different, man. Saturday morning will be. It'll be different. That's all I'm going to say.

[D]

I can't wait to see him again. And say, what was the biggest shock when you got there?

[C]

Having. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[A]

Game.

[D]

Well, what was your estimation of what.

[C]

Y' all walking up on? Joe Oliveris.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Seeing him there too. He just happened to be a brother.

[D]

Lord, you didn't really let him in here, did you?

[C]

Yeah, Shock. I wonder if he still had them funny glasses on. Federal, man. You see spectacles.

[D]

I love that.

[A]

Every cameraman. That's what he asked you, man.

[D]

He come by a pickup.

[A]

That's what I'd say.

[D]

He come by a pickup. We was leaving the property and he said, that's him, boys. And everybody said, what are you talking about? He said, he's got them round, round hippie glasses. Who's the guy that. The Beatles. One of them wore them. Round one. John.

[C]

Yeah. John Lennon.

[D]

Yeah, that's old John. That's John.

[A]

The b. Lateral guy. Did too. What was that other night? Elevators.

[C]

Which one? I don't even remember. The one that hunted with us.

[A]

[C]

Oh, yeah, because that guy was dangerous.

[A]

Another one that come down there on the duck pen.

[C]

Oh, I don't remember that one. Yeah, I don't.

[A]

We drove. I was in the truck with him. We drove up and Bill pulled up beside him. I can't think of his name.

[C]

Cash.

[A]

Cash?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Cash, is that you or you've aged?

[C]

That's what Phil.

[A]

He just looked at him. He said, well, Phil, you have too. He says, they'll pick up yalls garbage when y' all leave. He drove on down to the.

[C]

That's a wild story a lot of people probably don't even know about. Really and truly. We can dive into that.

[D]

Well, I thought Tommy was going to get arrested there one day. A game warden said, well, I'm going to write you boys up for killing a redhead.

[A]

Oh, that was in Texas.

[D]

And it wasn't a redhead. It was a green winged hill drake. And he said, well, Thomas said, well, you must have missed a class that day. That they. Identification.

[C]

Oh, that generally doesn't work out well.

[D]

Yeah, they got to arguing about, you know, Tommy just got in his face you know he did. You know, he said, you're wrong. He said, you're wrong. When? If he said, here's the thing. Bring that duck with you when we go to court. Cause we fighting this.

[C]

Yeah. Evidence. Please bring that with you.

[D]

You bring that with you because you gonna help. When you get up in front of that judge and he show you. Show him that green wheel, too. Drake. Hey, make you go back to school first.

[A]

Apart ranger kind. They were sitting on that cliff watching.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And he said, that park ranger come down there to say, well, you got to have a permit to film me. And Phil said, well, how much is the permit? Oh, it's free. They say, well, what's he get the thing? He said, well, I don't know. He said, but if we didn't do permits, before you know it, somebody be down here selling hot dogs. That's what the guy told what?

[C]

Well, then where can I get a hot dog?

[A]

Y' all got sauerkraut, too?

[C]

Yeah.

Okay, I don't think it's a love affair.

It's just a standard relationship.

Yeah, they wouldn't met each other's parents. That's a love affair.

[B]

How do you know more about Hunter's love life than I do?

[D]

Well, I'm just saying. Hey, we asked him over here one day.

[C]

Where was I?

[D]

Hey, he said I want to meet her. Parents.

[C]

Well, he took care of.

[A]

She's from Maryland.

[C]

North Carolina.

[A]

That's what I say it only North Carolina.

[D]

North khaki lackey.

[C]

She was here one day.

[D]

Yeah, I think. Oh, she's a sweet little thing.

[C]

Yeah. What's she doing with Hunter?

[B]

Yeah. What's wrong with her?

[C]

And she may be like K. You know, attract strays.

[D]

That's funny. No, that's funny that you.

[C]

Sorry. Hunter, I just want you to listen. You have to edit this. That was just to make you laugh.

[D]

You remind me of. Okay. Oh, no, no, I'm serious. Okay.

[B]

Yeah, that's a good quality.

[D]

About like that when I met her.

[C]

Okay. A little quiet.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

But kind of real.

[B]

Well, I can confirm this.

[A]

What's that?

[B]

Phil was nothing like Hunter.

[A]

No, no.

[D]

So Bill was.

[B]

I don't know how to end up.

[D]

But Phil was a pioneer man for K. Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

And Hunter.

[A]

Pioneer man.

[C]

Hunter's trailblazing the dark web or whatever.

[B]

I'm not sure Hunter is your good. Would make a great I T guy.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

For Phil. If Phil ever needs the Internet, Hunter's your guy.

[D]

Oh, hey. Hunters are. Hey.

[C]

I mean, y' all can get on us all you want to. This is. Y' all gotta understand. This is simply because Hunter's got to edit this and he's out of here. So we want to have as soon as we want him having something laugh when he gets back and sits down. Like what those guys do while I was gone. Where you go, bud?

[B]

Hunter panicked when he heard Si say, where's Hunter? That's my favorite part. Yeah, getting hickeys. Anyway.

[C]

Oh, man. You got. You got any emails? Anything?

[B]

I had that one really good joke.

[C]

That's it?

[D]

No.

[A]

Nobody email, you know.

[B]

No, we get a lot. But this has been a very light episode.

[C]

And the email currently, pretty heavy. Heavy, really? Oh, oh, yeah.

[D]

Oh, wait.

[B]

Beth sent me one. Oh, but Beth, did you send that to me?

[C]

Beth?

[B]

That's why I was. I was like, I have one. And it's actually a really good one. That's not super heavy.

[C]

Different inbox.

[B]

Yep, times are heavy. I believe part of our job here is to give you an hour distraction from the real world while we talk about how we pee. Hopefully we've done that today, but we also like to help out with life advice from Uncle Size. So if you're ever in the mood, email me. Ask a question, I will read it. And if it's intrigues me, I'll ask. [e-mail]. i think this actually came in from Over Facebook, maybe. All right, Kyle.

[A]

Kylie, struggling.

[B]

Kyle, struggling. I love when we do inside jokes. He wants to thank us for bringing joy to his work days.

[A]

All right, Dan.

[B]

He just started listening.

[A]

He got a bunch.

[B]

He's made it to episode 245. And so by the time you hear this answer, it will be too late. But we're rooting for you, Kyle. He's wondering if we have any advice. Him and his wife are expecting their first child in November.

[A]

Oh, during hunting season.

[B]

Yeah. What's your advice? Because it's not the question, but I'd love to hear it. Bad call, bruh. You can't.

[A]

I mean, yeah, Valentine's ain't that big a deal.

[C]

Math checks out.

[B]

I was about to do plus. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Math checks out.

[B]

Can confirm first child in November. But he's wanted the best way to introduce the new child to their dogs.

[D]

He's found a new way.

[C]

Oh, he wants the best way. What we. What we did was have.

[A]

Oh, I'm in the kennel.

[C]

Because we got. You know what?

[A]

I can't go nowhere.

[D]

That's good.

[B]

Johanna, if you're listening, don't.

[D]

Do not.

[B]

No babysitter for months.

[D]

No, no. I was thinking the same thing. Put the dog in the. In the little cradle. What? The what? The newborn.

[B]

Put the dog in the cradle or the kid in the kennel.

[D]

Hey.

[C]

Oh, everybody knows the cat's in the cradle.

[A]

That's right.

[C]

But the dog, they're the cats.

[A]

Well, Silver Spoon.

[D]

Look, the newborn and the dog will bond and they'll. It'll be just a fantastic story.

[C]

Okay, if you don't want to do that, here's what.

[D]

We put him in a candle because.

[C]

Our dog was our only child.

[A]

But you got. You got a big dog.

[C]

That's what I'm talking about. So I didn't want her going nuts.

[A]

When we put a saddle on them.

[D]

Yeah, I was six, eight. Got to get a saddle if it's a big one.

[C]

We took the hospital blankets that the boys were wrapped in and swaddled in so tight. We kept them and sent them home with our mother in law so that Jude could sniff the blankets so that when the boys come in, they weren't a new smell to her. They were a familiar smell. We put those in her kennel and she slept with them for the two or three days. You know, we were in there a little longer because of Waylon and the NICU deal. So like when we come home, Jude was like, this is not really cool because all of their already loved Them. Well, she was like, I mean they're cool, but yeah, like I need my attention too. She's still like that. The Jude's favorite thing is for another adult to come to our house right now. So. Because she gets all the attention from somebody but. But no, yeah, she was. She didn't go crazy. She didn't like jump up and down and all that when we come in with them. And she's been a great dog to them ever since. But that's what we did. We took their hospital stuff, sent it home with our mother in law and let Jude get introduced that way. And then when we walked in it was. I mean she did, she sniffed them obviously, but it wasn't like goofy crazy, jump through the roof kind of stuff.

[B]

We did have a saddle for Dublin. Yeah, Throw a blanket over his back and hop on. But he just kind of instinctively knew, I think something was changing.

[C]

You did too. When Brittany was pregnant, she would lay her head on her belly.

[B]

They catch on.

[C]

She would never.

[B]

Good ones do them, bad ones just get rid of it if it's a bad dog.

[A]

Yeah, they know.

[C]

Yeah, she would never get more than like two feet from Brittany once, once the pregnancy stuff start. I guess the smell, hormones or something. Pheromone, something that dogs can pick up on.

[B]

That weekend, Dublin got super protective over Carter. Quick like growling at stranger. He like never growled at anybody and then growled at my mother in law one time I was like, this is the best dog in the world.

[C]

Yeah, well for eight years. For eight years I didn't know Jude could bark until the boys were, were born. And now when somebody knocks on the door, she barks and lets them know and bristles up and I'm like, there you go. But for the first eight years I was like, well somebody gets in here. You are not a guard dog.

[A]

She's a watch dog. You watch them come in.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, come on in. Let me show you where the food is.

[A]

That's what, that's what Roger is. He's just a watch dog, not a guard dog.

[B]

Because you named him Roger.

[D]

What you got was, I got a little Bible verse.

[A]

I don't even know how you going to choose one today.

[B]

You know what, we've been very light today. Even though the world kind of feels like it's gone mad and crazy. So I'm just going to remind you what Jesus Christ of Nazareth himself said in John 16:33. I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. That's the only place you're going to find peace. Because then he says, in this world, you will have trouble. But take heart. I have overcome the world.

[C]

Amen.

[B]

If it feels like too much right now, I've got your answer. And it's the only answer that's probably gonna make any sense ever.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

Jesus Christ.

[C]

Amen, buddy.

[D]

That's it.

[C]

All right, we'll see y' all next time.

[A]

All right, Dean.
