[Martin]

Oh, I thought we were rolling.

[Sigh]

Oh, well, we're missing Hunter, so we don't know it. It's just a weird day. Hunter took today off to go on his date. We're anxiously awaiting updates.

[Martin]

He ended up taking two days off.

[Sigh]

It's got to be a good date for two days. Sigh woke up with a case of the Mondays.

[Godwin]

It was.

[Martin]

It's a Monday. That's a Tuesday. But it's a Tuesday. That's. I don't know. I'm confused.

[Sigh]

I don't even know what day it is.

[Martin]

And Godwin, this is retirement Goblin. He used to be second everywhere we went, only behind Sigh. He was early for everything, and now he's last.

[Godwin]

He's always late.

[Martin]

If he shows up, where is God Late?

[Godwin]

Or don't even show up.

[Martin]

He is retired. Goblin is a proven flight risk now. Like, there's a.

[Sigh]

There's a point where he just doesn't show up anymore. Right now he's still trying to get here, allegedly.

[Martin]

Yeah, well, he's been in communication, letting me know he was coming.

[Sigh]

What happened?

[Martin]

He broke down on Darbonne. Said he spun his prop. He said, I hit something the other day, but I didn't think it did nothing.

[Godwin]

Goblinguys.com get find out it did do something.

[Martin]

Yeah. If you wanted like a long, lonely cruise on Darbonne, today would have been the day. It was Goblin. He said, I'm idling somewhere between six and seven miles an hour, and he was halfway up the lake. He put in at the very south end of the lake, and he was about halfway down the lake when I talked to him. So he should be here.

[Sigh]

He put in at the spillway or he put in it.

[Martin]

Put in at the spillway.

[Sigh]

Okay.

[Martin]

And he was at Terrell island when I talked to him, which is about the halfway point of the lake.

[Sigh]

We'll see God with it a little bit.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

Fresh off the lake, full of frustration.

[Martin]

I said, well, Galvin, that's a problem. I said, it's the only day we've had a south wind in two weeks and you going right into it. I say, any other time you'd had a north wind pushing you for the last two weeks, but not today. So, yeah, there's Retirement God one. That's God one for you. I told him. I said, you know, I've noticed one thing about them boats. The more you're in them, the more stuff breaks. So. So, yeah, he's figuring that out. You know, he's in his a lot. So what's your problem? Why you got a Monday? Why? How? How? Who knows when you're your age.

[Sigh]

He decided it was a bad day when he woke up.

[Martin]

Oh, I'd say when you're your age, as successful as you've been, what determines a bad day? That's.

[Godwin]

That's what you just a bad mood. Oh, we're like dinner.

[Martin]

Instead of a bad day, you need to watch Bluey. There's a whole episode about that. Yeah, Bad mood called bad mood Bingo.

[Godwin]

But Bingo is always bad.

[Martin]

I love to see Sai watching Bluey.

[Sigh]

He'd actually really enjoy it. It's not just for kids.

[Martin]

It sounds like an Instagram real collection. Uncle Sigh reacts to Bluey. I think just watches all I think.

[Sigh]

Of any Robertson that might tear up to a cartoon Sigh watching Bluey might be the one.

[Martin]

Oh, I know that. Yeah. He's the only one with a heart.

[Sigh]

I didn't say that. But I mean, that's a pretty good compliment.

[Godwin]

I like that. That's pretty good.

[Sigh]

Oh, that's. That's just truth.

[Martin]

Oh, so you just. You just bad mood, Bad day? Poker didn't go your way?

[Martin]

Was his name Jason? No.

[Godwin]

Oh, nice. Smokey.

[Martin]

[Godwin]

Hold on. Yeah, Smokey people. I always have. You know, you played. Somebody come up meet me and said, yeah, you play with my. One of my kin folk. And I said, what's his name? Jeff something?

[Godwin]

Gross. A gross individual, too. Yeah, you know, yeah, he was a gross individual.

[Sigh]

His nickname was Fart Man.

[Martin]

Yeah, got hung with that one. Well, anyway, I think I know why you're probably in a bad mood. You saw the news of what happened on Friday with the New York Yankees general manager, huh?

[Godwin]

No, I didn't.

[Martin]

You haven't, huh?

[Sigh]

What a stupid.

[Godwin]

What happened with the yanking?

[Martin]

Well, I guess they're still sour. You know, they got Thrashed in the World Series. So they're trying to change some things. You got that?

[Godwin]

I'm.

[Sigh]

I'm ready. I just don't like it.

[Martin]

Yeah, drag it over there so sa can read it.

[Sigh]

Hold on.

[Martin]

First time if you know he going to read.

[Sigh]

So the first thing is they got rid of the beard policy.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

I didn't know you couldn't have a. Well, I didn't know you couldn't have a beard and be a Yankee.

[Martin]

Oh, yeah, 100%.

[Sigh]

But then the guy that made the rule. God, baseball websites. There's just stuff everywhere.

[Martin]

But look at our branding up there. Yeah. So we. So basically the New York Yankees can have a beard as long as they don't look like us. Does anybody remember, like when James. James Harden was going dummy in the NBA there for a little while he had a beard. A biggin. Very unkempt beard. Like there. There are periods of greatness that include facial hair.

[Sigh]

Oh, hey, Abraham Lincoln.

[Martin]

Thank you.

[Godwin]

There you go. That boy. Honest Abe, honestly goes with the beard.

[Sigh]

Thank you.

[Martin]

Same. So. And he was a Yankee.

[Sigh]

Hey, was he?

[Godwin]

There you go.

[Martin]

Well, I mean, they were Yankees and Rebels. Back in. Which side you think he was on? Yeah, like, I mean, he was on the winning side. And the Rebels didn't win.

[Sigh]

The Rebels did not win.

[Martin]

Like I'm just saying. So he was a Yankee, but even had a top hat.

[Godwin]

That's it.

[Sigh]

And look good in it together. So I will say I'm trying to find that certain Instagram. What was that? MLB on Fox.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

You got to be a weirdo.

[Godwin]

That thing right there is zombie apocalypse. He's.

[Sigh]

He, he, he. You can't get the computer too close to him now.

[Martin]

He'll read it over your shoulder. His eyes actually are really good.

[Sigh]

Boy, these people post too much to find it. Here we go.

[Martin]

Yeah, Mr. Cashman.

[Sigh]

But anyway, we're not trying to look like Duck Dynasty. No dis against. If you start something with no dis. No dis. Your bald head. Cashmen. Yeah, but you look stupid.

[Martin]

That's right. There was so. That's right there. When you start something, with all due respect, you're throwing respect at the moment window right there. And like, you know, I mean, you're.

[Godwin]

Grinding in the woods all the time. You really don't have another option.

[Sigh]

I mean, thanks for grinding in the woods all the time.

[Martin]

Hey, I just want to know what he's going to say now that the show's coming back out and they have Doug Dynasty night at Yankee Stadium. That's going to Be the best thing ever. Like when A and E pays to have Duck Dynasty night at Yankee Stadium just because of this. Because it's going to release again during baseball season and we're probably going to have to go to New York City for that at some point.

[Sigh]

Put Willie out there throwing the first.

[Martin]

Mr. Cashman, if you don't put us in a box, there will be riots.

[Godwin]

New York City will riot on you.

[Martin]

I'm about to go out there and get Aaron Judge to just choke you. And then there's some people like posting gifts. Oh, wait, that's me.

[Sigh]

Oh, that was us. That was us. I posted that flip flop skill. The boo from J. Martin. Duck man got the most action.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

I don't like him.

[Martin]

Look at him. And like somebody get that man in touch with AG1.

[Godwin]

Oh, I don't. I would just. And Neutropho, he's against hair.

[Martin]

Yeah, he ain't got nothing.

[Sigh]

It's called envy. Look it up.

[Martin]

Yeah, jealousy, buddy.

[Sigh]

There was one comment I wish I could find about how this beards are ruining baseball. And I was like, you're the reason nobody watches baseball anymore. They're big guy.

[Martin]

I mean, what? I just don't understand the argument against a beard in baseball. Are they trying to keep him looking like Jason Worth did that time? You know what happened with him? One World Series.

[Sigh]

Our games. World Series.

[Godwin]

That's why this is still the greatest nation on earth, boys.

[Martin]

Unless you're that guy.

[Sigh]

He's doing all right.

[Martin]

I mean, he's doing all right. He probably agrees because he making money hand over fist and spending somebody else's money like it's his own.

[Sigh]

Oh, man, that's.

[Martin]

Oh, but the fact that he just took a shot at us.

[Sigh]

Well, he said, no. Dis.

[Martin]

No, that's a diss.

[Sigh]

Have I told the story about Carter?

[Martin]

No.

[Sigh]

In the town of Ravel, he hit.

[Martin]

It with an odess.

[Sigh]

Oh my gosh.

[Martin]

To the town.

[Sigh]

More embarrassed in my life. We go to play basket. Ben's playing basketball.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

[Martin]

Okay.

[Sigh]

So you got to go through Ravel.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

Rivals had some building. Seen better days. There's no doubt.

[Martin]

Yeah. Ravel's old man.

[Sigh]

And. And the. The movie theater look rough.

Yeah.

[Sigh]

Carter walks up to this man, first guy he sees at the gym.

[Martin]

Oh.

[Sigh]

And goes, hey, man, no offense, but this town looks haunted and is a dump. And I was like, what? I snatched that sucker up. I said, what did you just say to that man? He goes, dad.

[Martin]

[Martin]

Yep, that's right there. With all due respect. No, this. And I was like, all right, Whatever follows. Those statements are the exact opposite of what you just asked permission for. Yeah.

[Sigh]

So Brian Cashman, an 11 year old card or he's 10 and 11.

[Godwin]

Did he speak the truth?

[Sigh]

He was. He wasn't wrong. I mean, well, hey, there you go. I mean, sometimes the truth is rude.

[Godwin]

That's right. The truth is harsh and rude. Boys.

[Martin]

Oh, no.

[Sigh]

Little guy.

[Martin]

Where's he from?

[Sigh]

Hold on. I'll tell you. This little guy walks in and said, hey, man, love the podcast. I was like, oh, what's up, brother? And he's small, has a mustache, clearly works outside, buys garb and his big F250. Yeah, skinny. And I reach my hand out, I said, hey, man, my name's John David. I go to shake his hand. He's like, my name's Chris. And immediately I was in pain. Why is he squeezing so hard? You win like you're the alpha. I get it. I didn't see it coming.

[Martin]

Let go.

[Sigh]

But you win. You're going to break my hand. And he's like, man, I listened to y'all more than anybody but that one guy in Ireland. I said, really? He goes, I left South Carolina last night, and I have to be in California tomorrow. And I was like, you're driving. What? I was like, I'm out. But he was a turbine operator also used to be a bull rider or rodeo guy. So the hand grip checks out. But I said, well, where are you from, Chris? Chris says, you know where Canton, Texas, is? I was like, oh, I know where the Dairy palace is. He goes, my picture's actually up in the Dairy Palace. And I said, what are you.

[Martin]

When you do.

[Sigh]

You do listen to the. Doug, if you got a picture up in the Dairy palace in Canton, Texas, that's our demographic.

[Martin]

I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few that go in a Dairy palace and order the Spam burger.

[Sigh]

You can get judging.

[Martin]

You know, you can get fried Spam on a sandwich up in the Dairy Palace.

[Sigh]

Dairy palace is magical. It's like a Buc EE's.

[Martin]

I guess it's still there, huh? I mean, I don't. I ain't been to camp. I ain't been past Tyler in a hot minute. Every time I get into Texas now, I turn and go south. It seems like I don't ever get to stay on 20 and keep on trucking.

[Sigh]

I need to go to Dairy Palace.

[Martin]

Yeah, your wife will probably go trade days. That Antique times coming up, right? Like Highway 80 trade days or whatever.

[Sigh]

It is where I'm down on the money.

[Martin]

Spending flea markets.

[Sigh]

I'm down on that, but I just want to go have a hamburger.

[Martin]

Well, that's.

[Sigh]

Go to Bucky's and then go do, like, a water slide.

[Martin]

That's spending money. Every stop of the way. I don't.

[Sigh]

That's a good point. I just don't want furniture.

[Martin]

You don't want somebody else's furniture is what you mean.

[Sigh]

Ding, ding, ding. Oh, man. Sav, you ever been to the Dairy Palace?

[Godwin]

No.

[Sigh]

What? Look at this photograph.

[Godwin]

So?

[Martin]

I've never been.

[Sigh]

We gotta take you.

[Martin]

I've stopped every time we had K.

[Godwin]

What is the Dairy Palace?

[Sigh]

They got a bluebell ice cream bar and greasy hamburgers. And my man Chris's photograph is up in there, which makes him cooler than.

[Martin]

I've stopped in there at least 10 times with K. Roberts.

[Godwin]

And where's this?

[Sigh]

Is that Canton, Texas.

[Godwin]

Texas.

[Martin]

Yeah. Right off the interstate.

[Sigh]

Right where Chris is from.

[Martin]

Yeah, yeah, but where's, where's Canton? A little over, a little over halfway to Dallas from here.

[Godwin]

Okay.

[Sigh]

Yeah, but when he said that, I was like, there's, there's a few telltale signs that you.

[Godwin]

Hamburgers and ice cream. That's a good com.

[Martin]

Don't that sound like Ms. K?

[Godwin]

That sounds like.

[Sigh]

Yeah, that sounds like somebody I like.

[Martin]

Yeah, I've, I've eaten there a lot. A lot.

[Sigh]

It used to be the jam in high school when youth group would go to Six Flags.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

Small town kids head over to Dallas for the weekend and on the way back we get to stop at the Dairy Palace.

[Martin]

Oh, you know what's fun? I got to do a deal at the end of March and in Dallas for Academy. You want to go? It's kind of tight. I get to introduce Nick Saban.

[Sigh]

So, hey, what do you do?

[Martin]

I, I. It's this deal. Saban's the keynote speaker and I get to introduce him for Academy.

[Sigh]

You get to open up for Nick Saban.

[Martin]

Uh huh. He better not be rude to me. I get to. Because I get to Mike first. He better not be rude. You better, better coach. You better say go Tigers. If you're listening to this. Okay, you were there for a while.

[Sigh]

Since he's definitely not listening to this.

[Godwin]

You were.

[Sigh]

How much money do I have to give you to thank him for giving us Drew Brees?

[Godwin]

Oh, boy.

[Martin]

I don't care.

[Sigh]

Do it.

[Martin]

I'll say whatever I can to coach.

[Sigh]

No, no, from the microphone. If he'll say your favorite coach ever because he was LSU for a while and then he messed up and gave us Drew Brees.

[Martin]

Yeah. If he'll say Go Tigers, I'll say Roll Tide. That's all. That's the deal I'm gonna make with him right there.

[Sigh]

Some deals I can't do.

[Martin]

I don't care. It's Nick Saban, man. I mean, he beat the socks off of us. I. Should I wear my Ulm shirt? Tide roll, baby.

[Sigh]

What up, babe? I still got my Tide rolled shirt. Go Warhawks.

[Martin]

Yeah, when we. When. When Ulm went into Tuscaloosa and dropped that L on y'all boys, that was amazing. What year was that his first year there? 2007. Yeah.

[Sigh]

Oh, hey, producer Josh, fill it in for editor Hunter.

[Martin]

For Hunter on a date.

[Sigh]

Hunter's on a date, man. How do you think it's going?

[Martin]

I hope. Well, I do, too, but, I mean, it's got to be going better than I thought because he didn't come into work on his off day. I was afraid Hunter was going to show up anyway. Yeah, that didn't work out. I just came to work instead. Yeah, just dock me for a half day, please.

[Sigh]

Yeah, I need to be here. My mind off things.

[Martin]

But now, you can slide over with me if you want to.

[Sigh]

I might. I just depends on the day.

[Martin]

I should be able to get you a little facetime with coach if you want to.

[Sigh]

I just want to thank him for giving us Drew Brees.

[Martin]

Ulm 21, Alabama 14. But we got him. That's hard to believe. Alabama was 6 and 5.

[Sigh]

Like, it's hard to believe that that was in 2007.

[Martin]

That was his first year at Alabama. Yeah, his year one.

[Sigh]

Doesn't matter. Hey, whoa, easy with the particulars there, man. That's why we like Hunter. He would have no clue what we're talking about right now. Yeah, hold on. While we have big hair in the building.

[Martin]

Oh, oh, can we.

[Sigh]

Can you put a Hunter cam in? Because Hunter's not going to do it.

[Martin]

Oh, yeah. Hunter's too embarrassed. We need to. I've been planning on it. Well, that seemed kind of weird. Secret camera. Yes. I had an episode. I was about to say, if we had a camera recording Hunter that he didn't know about, that'd be weird. You meant to go in? I think there's laws. Yeah. After he edits it. You want me to go in and, like, re. Add the stuff? Just. Just put the little clips in. Just random places. Doesn't really matter.

[Sigh]

Actually, could you just start putting photographs of Hunter just randomly on YouTube? Just this coach stealing from his Facebook.

[Martin]

And be sure you tag him, too. He loves when he gets new followers on Instagram. Hey, he's been bragging about that.

[Sigh]

Oh, and the truth about Hunter is coming out. He likes it.

[Martin]

Oh, gosh the mighty. Anyways, all right, if you want to go follow Hunter.

[Sigh]

Hunter, Nick, Nerd. Oh, we give Hunter all the shout outs we can.

[Martin]

It's hard to believe we're still. We're almost 20 minutes into this, and Goblin still ain't here.

[Sigh]

Here. That's not hard to believe.

[Martin]

The difference is Goblin said he would hang around when I retired. You most definitely won't see me again.

[Sigh]

That's a good point.

[Martin]

Like, I'm not. I'm not one of those one foot in, one foot out kind of guy. Like, let's just roll, baby.

[Sigh]

He gone go.

[Martin]

Let's gone gone.

[Sigh]

S retired. He's a one foot in, one foot out.

[Martin]

Oh, he got both feet still in. Sai got expensive hobbies, so s still in. Don't let him fool you.

[Sigh]

The fakest retirement Martin's ever seen.

[Martin]

The only thing Sai don't do is make reads. He said, I love everything about this job, but the actual job. So I'm still gonna hang around. Y'all still pay me.

[Sigh]

Yeah, I like that.

[Martin]

And we were like, you know what? As chief morale officer. You got it, buddy. CMO Chief Morale officer.

[Sigh]

And he's not like Jace, who has to come up here on his day off.

[Martin]

Oh, God. Oh, that boy got blasted on that.

[Sigh]

Whoever put that up on Instagram. You are braver than me.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

It is nice to know that we'll never get Jason Willie back for an episode, though.

[Martin]

I don't know. Willie didn't catch no strays. Jace took all the stray bullet.

[Sigh]

No, but you missed it. We just saw Willie a minute ago.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

And we were like, hey, you want to be in this y'all sweet tea commercial with us? He's like, how much does it pay? Since that's so Willie's gonna require us to pay him to come on this podcast, from now on, he's out.

[Martin]

Spoiler alert. Willie gets half the money anyway.

[Godwin]

That's what I told him. I said, hey, I'm. I'm the one that keeps this business going, son.

[Sigh]

He did drop that. It was the cockiest thing I've ever heard size say in my life. He goes, hey, news flash, buddy. And I was like. And then I just slid over behind him and said, again, I'm with this guy.

[Martin]

The truth doesn't have to be nice.

[Sigh]

It can be rude.

[Godwin]

The truth is harsh.

[Sigh]

The truth you don't have. You should always be kind. But sometimes if somebody says something rude, it might be true. Yeah, that's what we've learned today.

[Martin]

Oh, man, it is. Springtime is here, man. It is time to go fishing. But, like, if you catch a cold front like we got right now, you can't go fishing. So the next best thing is fishing on your phone.

[Sigh]

You've been fishing on your phone a lot the last five years.

[Martin]

I actually fish on my phone every night before I go to bed. It's like my final.

[Sigh]

It's my final fish on your phone in the bathroom.

[Martin]

Yeah, I have.

[Sigh]

As long as I've known Martin, he's been playing fishing. Yeah, he was playing it when we.

[Martin]

Walked in today, in fact. I just want a challenge. Let me see what I want. Claim your reward. Ooh. 100 speed and 100 luck tokens. Bop. Claim that, baby. No, I do play fishing Clash. I. I like the game. And so do 50 million other players that are already casting their way to glory.

[Sigh]

Is your clan any good?

[Martin]

No, we're not any good. Like, we're like a. We're like a gold three or something. It goes all the way, like, diamond. Yeah.

[Godwin]

What are y'all? The Florida Crackers.

[Martin]

The Florida Crackers. That's who we are. But, I mean, we're good at what we do. But we're not. No, we're not. No. We get smashed by some people on there. So you play people from all over the world. Like, you'll have, like, Russian clans. Polish fish in Russia. According to this, there are all kinds of pike and all kinds of things. Yeah, different kinds of pike and all kinds of stuff. So.

[Sigh]

What if Goblin gets a flat tire?

[Martin]

Well, you know the good news. I know he knows how to change them.

[Godwin]

That's the good news.

[Martin]

Goblin ain't one of them. He's probably got a tire plug kit and a compressor in his truck, so he. He would be okay. But I know he's not going to be in a hurry, so I've.

[Sigh]

I've noticed Goblins getting less and less in a hurry.

[Martin]

Yeah. When he never started as one to really be in a panic. Anyway, so Goblin is coming here, sat.

[Sigh]

Down, we're like, all right, y'all ready? And then we've been sitting here for 10 minutes, and he'll go, I need some coffee.

[Godwin]

Yeah, but that's one of my pet peeves.

[Martin]

What's that?

[Godwin]

Don't hurry me.

[Martin]

Oh, don't. Yeah, be quick. Don't hurry.

[Godwin]

Hey, that's just, you know, me and my people in charge when I was in the military. Always had a bad. Bad issues with that.

[Martin]

Did you?

[Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Sigh]

No.

[Martin]

Is that why you just decided you'd get everywhere 30 minutes early? So you always.

[Godwin]

I don't. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't never get in a rush. If you get me in a rush, you think, have we all going to have a bad day?

[Martin]

The last time s got in a hurry, he fell out of a boat.

[Godwin]

That's it.

[Martin]

So, Chris, it always.

[Godwin]

It always paint. Pain is involved in hurrying.

[Sigh]

Chris from the Dairy palace said, house size. House size. Ribs. I was like, they're back. We're good.

[Martin]

He's back.

[Godwin]

Oh, no complaint. Look, because I had to go to the doctor like, twice, you know, because the first one didn't. They didn't give me the correct shot.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

It didn't get rid of the pain. So I went back, like, the next day and I said, hey, whatever y'all gave me yesterday, double. It was no good.

[Martin]

Yeah, Trash.

[Godwin]

I said, hey, you need to get the good stuff, okay, and get this pain away. And they said, well, we'll do better than that. We'll give you that. And then we'll give you, like, 30 pills, pain tablets, okay? Take home. To take home with you. So I emptied the bottle.

[Sigh]

There's a crisis.

[Godwin]

One, one. One day @ a time. I would take that pain tablet, okay? Because, hey, now, my tolerance of pain.

[Sigh]

As long as you follow instructions, dip.

[Martin]

Stay off the ovon show, sir.

[Godwin]

Go.

[Sigh]

Anyways.

[Godwin]

But, hey, hurry always, always causes trouble.

[Sigh]

I've never really been in a hurry.

[Godwin]

Yeah, if you rush, you always do something wrong.

[Martin]

There he is. Look who's there.

[Sigh]

Y'all in a great looking shirt, too.

[Godwin]

Hey, did you have a flat on the way back?

[Martin]

Goblin, we just decided we'd go ahead and kick it off. Welcome, friend. You, you, you. You can take a minute, collect your breath.

[Sigh]

The good news, Godwin, is everybody here seems to be having a case of the Mondays.

[Godwin]

You're a pretty good fisherman, and you actually look real good.

[Hunter]

God, I guarantee you.

[Godwin]

Yeah, you Got a good look about you.

[Hunter]

Just ask me, I'll tell you.

[Sigh]

Yeah, Godwin said, is it Monday?

[Martin]

Well, that's another thing about retirement. You don't even care about what day of the week is.

[Hunter]

I don't do nothing. I don't start that till noon.

[Sigh]

So what happened?

[Hunter]

I think I spun a hoop in my prop.

[Sigh]

Did it fall off?

[Hunter]

No.

[Sigh]

That's good.

[Martin]

No, it's just on the innards of it.

[Hunter]

Yeah, it's. I could idle, but I couldn't.

[Godwin]

Yeah, so you strip something and you go fast. Yeah, you strip something.

[Hunter]

Not today.

[Godwin]

Not today, boys.

[Hunter]

I did up until the time I was coming home.

[Martin]

That's how it always happens too.

[Sigh]

It's amazing.

[Hunter]

Oh, it was going to be perfect. I left at 2:00, hit the channel at 2:00. I took off, got right to Highway 33 bridge. I said, I hit something. I was looking around with no log back there. I said, I hit a big gar or something. What it felt like. So then I took off again. It started spinning. I said on a hub.

[Godwin]

He done spun it, boys.

[Hunter]

I ain't done that in a while.

[Martin]

They do it every time you go to get up. Do you ever try like a slow get up?

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

That's seven mile an hour, top speed. Highway 33 to the spillway.

[Martin]

That's a long ride, buddy.

[Sigh]

Kayak boys were just passing 30 houses.

[Hunter]

I ain't never noticed on the lake.

[Godwin]

Long ride.

[Hunter]

He said, boys, I'm stinking fish.

[Martin]

That's about an hour. I mean that's probably seven miles from. From there to the end. Probably. I bet that's one hour. Yeah. And well, probably longer now because you don't go straight. There ain't no part of that channel straight from there to there.

[Sigh]

Why do boats break so much.

[Godwin]

Water?

[Martin]

Yeah, I would say that we're a little harder on our boats than say we are on other equipment.

[Sigh]

Are you just talking about the general population?

[Martin]

Yes.

[Sigh]

Why everybody so mean to their boat?

[Martin]

And I think probably the real truth is about 60% of the people that have them ain't got no business having them. Like, I mean, I'm just being serious, like at this point now, eventually I know. Well, my parents turned me loose with a boat and motor. I have no business. I mean, I 16 years old. They said, good luck. Oh, like, you know, I. Now I had run a boat, but it was always tiller steer. I'd never run a console tiller steer. You don't really get in a bind because you holding everything like everything going on right there. You. But you get in that console, man, you won't go fast like you get a hot foot up under you.

[Hunter]

I used to grab back when I was bass fishing. I was younger, because all them crappie fishing in the middle of the channel.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

But look, there's guys now come through there. They going slow, but they got the trim up. Just walking away. Nurse.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Older fellers out there.

[Martin]

Boat etiquette is a thing of the past.

[Hunter]

I mean, they'll knock them plumb out of the boat. They don't.

[Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

I would rather you go buy me wide open.

[Sigh]

5,000.

[Godwin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Hunter]

Because you ain't making much wave when.

[Martin]

That two seconds, it's over.

[Hunter]

If you go in 10 miles an hour with the trim all the way up, you just pushing a tidal wave.

[Martin]

Yeah, you like a bulldozer.

[Sigh]

I literally heard this conversation on Thursday between a guy named George and my dad.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

These young guys try and slow down, just end up tidal waving. Yeah.

[Martin]

Yeah. Just run. Just stay on pad.

[Hunter]

Come by me wide open on paddle.

[Martin]

Yeah. Please.

[Hunter]

60 miles an hour. I got two wakes. It'll hit me real little.

[Martin]

And it's over.

[Hunter]

It's gone.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

But you come by me. 10 miles an hour, trimmed all the way up. I'm gonna give you a look. Don't say nothing to you. And when you see that look, you know, what am I doing? That's what they thinking. What's wrong? I'm going slow.

[Martin]

Boat etiquette 101 behind you, and you'll.

[Hunter]

See what's going on.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Now they don't care. They just wake. They just plow.

[Hunter]

And I don't care. They dog. Oh, far out of the boat. Still getting around crappie fishing. Or somebody got his kid in there with him.

[Martin]

Or somebody like me standing up, stretching.

[Hunter]

Where you fall out of the boat when ain't no way.

[Martin]

Yes, I do swim a lot. Not intentionally fall in.

[Hunter]

Once a week.

[Martin]

At least once a year, I fall out of the boat. Yeah, well, look, he's great at it. Here's the deal. I done figured out there's way less peril in the water than there is in that boat. So if you get a little off balance, rather than tear everything up, you got in that.

[Godwin]

It's a water.

[Martin]

It's water. And then get back in the boat.

[Hunter]

It's like, you don't want to hit it right now.

[Martin]

It's not. Be too cold. Right.

[Hunter]

45 degrees.

[Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Sigh]

45.

[Godwin]

You get hypothermia.

[Hunter]

Now, if you get it and then Fish know it.

[Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to get in the water right now, but during the summer, like. Yeah, I've ended up in the water.

[Sigh]

Just bail in.

[Martin]

Yeah. Rather than tear up everything in my boat. Yeah. A lot easier to get out of.

[Hunter]

This boat and on the back, and somebody just takes off all of a sudden.

[Martin]

I did that, too. That was bad.

[Hunter]

I wasn't his fault.

[Martin]

No, that's a bad one there. That one got me. And then they just drove off into the sunset.

[Hunter]

And I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey. Martin's back there.

[Martin]

I'm just.

[Godwin]

It was driving some old boys, neutral boys. We got to go back.

[Martin]

Some old boys at a deal we were speaking at. I just looked at them driving off and, well, this is where I die. I said, ain't no way I can tread water till somebody find me.

[Sigh]

How? How. Where were you?

[Martin]

Minnesota.

[Godwin]

Oh, no.

[Martin]

In a place called Green Lake. Minnesota.

[Sigh]

How big is Green Lake?

[Martin]

Muddy big. From what I could tell, it gets way bigger when the boat you were in is driving away.

[Godwin]

Driving away? Yeah.

[Martin]

And, like, the water was, like, seven foot deep.

[Hunter]

Martin said, I wouldn't mind it if y'all sped up a little bit. This water cold?

[Martin]

Yeah, Yeah. I said, can y'all. Can y'all hurry, please? Like, they come back around.

[Hunter]

Don't worry about that hat. Just get me.

[Martin]

Yeah. They said, well, your stuff's over here. I said, I don't care. Get me in that boat, man.

[Godwin]

I ain't worried about stuff.

[Martin]

I've been treading water now for what seemed like an eternity. Really wasn't about five minutes, but for a man my size, that's. Oh, yeah, that's a long time. Tread water. A couple of times I went down to the bottom and kicked off to come back up. My legs got tarred, but it's about seven foot deep, and I'm about six. Six, you know, so, like, I'd go under for a little bit and come back up. This past year been one of the hardest in mypillow's history, and it's because of you that they're making it through. And you know what that means, don't you?

[Sigh]

Pass savings.

[Godwin]

We got some deals coming your way.

[Martin]

[Hunter]

I'm like a fish.

[Godwin]

Well, they tell me that you. You're relaxed, but I'm like you.

[Martin]

Is that what it is? I'm just panicked.

[Godwin]

I.

[Martin]

Now I do have.

[Godwin]

I'm like you. Cause I think, too. I don't. I can't float.

[Martin]

I do have a certain fear of drowning. That ain't the way I want to go. If at all. If I'm in any way in control of that. That ain't it. Like, I don't want to go that way.

[Godwin]

That's me and fire.

[Martin]

Yeah, that's another one. Fire and ice. I'M out on them, too.

[Godwin]

Yeah, I'm out on that.

[Sigh]

I mean, I really. There's only a couple of ways you want to go.

[Martin]

Yeah. Preferably in my sleep.

[Sigh]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Or. Or hooked up.

[Sigh]

I mean, as long as you're like, hey, I don't want to drown. I don't want to catch on fire. I don't want to fall from something really tall and have a lot of time to think about it.

[Martin]

No, I'd be a toughy, too. What you got? I said, did that exacerbate your fear? Whenever you. It's amazing. Like, I was like, I kind of actually just come to peace. I said, well, this where it's all going in. Because they were still on pad going other way.

[Sigh]

You couldn't swim to the edge, buddy.

[Hunter]

Now you got Google.

[Martin]

Google Green Lake, Minnesota.

[Sigh]

See, I did. And that's why I don't think it's the right green lake. There's 10,000 lake this is. And clearly they're running out of names.

[Godwin]

Green. That's why when somebody tells you when you get in the boat, put that life preserver on.

[Sigh]

Yeah, Amen to that.

[Godwin]

Put that stupid life reserve on.

[Martin]

Well, we were in a pontoon boat fishing, right on a pond.

[Sigh]

That lady's got great hair.

[Martin]

I didn't see it outside the gate. I never saw any issues of needing a life jacket in a pontoon boat. Well, I didn't know when he said, we're about to leave that he meant down throttle down.

[Godwin]

Yeah, Right.

[Sigh]

Is that green light?

[Martin]

Yeah, that's it.

[Sigh]

There's only a mile.

[Martin]

Huh?

[Sigh]

You can swim a mile.

[Martin]

No, I can't.

[Godwin]

I was fixing.

[Martin]

I don't know how far you think a mile is, buddy.

[Sigh]

I mean, it ain't gonna be easy fully dressed, but, like, when you get. Life depends on it. I believe in you, buddy.

[Martin]

When you get dumped into 60 degree water.

[Sigh]

Oh, it was cold.

[Hunter]

No, it's probably.

[Sigh]

It's Minnesota. My bad. Oh, so you went.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Oh, I drank. I drank a good. I was not gonna die. Dehydration. Now, there was a small chance I'd have Montezuma's revenge or giardia.

[Sigh]

Cold up there for that. That's. That's in Mexico water.

[Martin]

Yeah. We's out in the middle of that pond, buddy. There was nothing. They wouldn't.

[Sigh]

I think you would have made it.

[Godwin]

There ain't nothing to still grab.

[Sigh]

You had to. I believe in you.

[Martin]

I'm certain I wouldn't have, so. I mean, but I love your belief.

[Sigh]

I believe it.

[Martin]

Thank you for the Positivity. But no, I was like, that's a lonely feeling when the rig you were in is just leaving. Like, I mean, that's a lonely feeling.

[Godwin]

But nobody said by.

[Martin]

Yeah, but even. And then I saw. I saw him get down off path and I said, somebody realized I wasn't there no more. Now will they find me? Like, I have nothing.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Martin]

I can't wave. I don't got too tard. I was just. Hey, how long were you in there? I'm just. It felt like an attorney. Probably five minutes by the time they shut down and spun around and got back.

[Sigh]

So that's a long time in cold water fully dressed.

[Martin]

Oh, yeah. With a lower back problem. That's what my back was. The reason I got thrown out because I stood up, stretch my back and I was doing like this one.

[Sigh]

The comedy of.

[Martin]

I was doing like this. When old boy hit the throttle. I had no control over nothing. I went right. The only thing I did was pushed off the motor so that it didn't cut me when I went by.

[Sigh]

That's a good job.

[Martin]

Like, I was smart enough to grab the motor and throw myself away from the.

[Sigh]

You'd ended up like that? That gar under?

[Martin]

Yeah, yeah. Last thing. Last thing I needed. Last thing I needed was an open leg wound to sit there and you.

[Hunter]

Know, like, I got to get that fixed quick.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

You now called the boat shop.

[Martin]

Now that you do it, don't wait.

[Hunter]

On me at 7 o'clock. I'll be on the water at 8.

[Sigh]

Now you talk about the dream.

[Martin]

Yeah. God, we're gonna have time to eat his sausage biscuit.

[Hunter]

Where are you going tomorrow, Darbone?

[Sigh]

I love it.

[Martin]

Hey, guys, go find what he left out there. You gotta go find that piece he left, wherever it is.

[Sigh]

Oh, Darbone.

[Hunter]

But boy, you got the bag. I'm thinking about making me a little side sign to stick on my bait. Bite me.

[Martin]

See if that helps. Yeah, them fish are confused.

[Hunter]

Man, it's cold. You got to go light little trout magnet.

[Sigh]

The fish are confused as we are.

[Hunter]

Because you could just about drink a soda pop by the time it gets down there too.

[Godwin]

Well, you got to have patience.

[Hunter]

Oh, yeah. It's got to come down there. And you get it down there and you just dance it over the top of him. He'll come up, meet it, slam it. But boy, it's aggravating.

[Sigh]

That's not.

[Hunter]

But it's fun because you catch him, Biggins.

[Sigh]

Oh, well, I'm. Fish are confused because I don't know if y'all Remember this? Two weekends ago, it was spring.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

Then it's winter again.

[Martin]

We gonna have another fall. Spring this week, right?

[Godwin]

Oh, no, no.

[Sigh]

It better not be fall.

[Hunter]

It's gonna be cold again.

[Godwin]

What?

[Sigh]

I can't do this.

[Godwin]

Between now and the 15th of March, you're gonna have another cold snap.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Cuss your mouth.

[Godwin]

Trust me, you will have another cold.

[Hunter]

I hope it gets down to 50.

[Godwin]

Oh, it don't. It better go lower than that. I legitimately, I'm saying it never fails. In February and March, it always. When you think it's over, it comes again and it gets cold.

[Sigh]

I legitimately can't do it anymore.

[Martin]

What?

[Sigh]

It's cold weather. I. I like.

[Martin]

Yeah, it sucked.

[Sigh]

Now I'm like. I think I'm at the age where I can tell it's cold outside by how my knees feel or something. Oh, it's just the worst.

[Martin]

You ought to be staring down. 40 then. Hammer.

[Sigh]

I can't.

[Martin]

You ain't even got to get out of bed. No. It's cold outside no more.

[Sigh]

Other day, I got out of bed and almost fell down because my foot hurt.

[Hunter]

You get on the water and not have enough clothes on, you won't do that again.

[Martin]

It'd be cold out there.

[Hunter]

You'll be taking stuff off.

[Sigh]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, the other day I woke up, got out of bed, and about fell down because my left foot was just in massive pain. I said, oh, no. Oh, what is this?

[Martin]

Was it your toe?

[Sigh]

Nuh. So I was like, it's not the gout. Praise the Lord. Because Martin's told me horror stories. But I, like, couldn't walk, and it was Sunday, so I had to go to church. So I was like, well, I limped into church. I'm limping. Then when I get down there, I sit down, everybody's standing up, singing. I'm like, y'all stand up if y'all want my foot hurt. Then everybody thought I was sad. I had more people check. If you don't go to church, nobody checks in on you. If you sit down through the whole church, they're like, you doing okay? I was like, my foot hurts. Like, I can't stand up very long because my foot's in a lot of pain. I don't know what it is. I think I'm just old. I don't know.

[Martin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sigh]

And then I walked it off after church, and I said, okay, I'm gonna get good.

[Hunter]

Like, hey, you got to be tough to be old.

[Sigh]

Yeah. That's what I'm learning. And then I woke up two days later and then switched feet.

[Godwin]

That's exactly right.

[Martin]

And swap feet. Yeah.

[Sigh]

And then my right foot hurt.

[Martin]

That's tough.

[Godwin]

And the person that come up with this phrase about golden 60s need to be horse whipped because it ain't nothing golden but begin 60.

[Martin]

Well, that was 15 years ago.

[Godwin]

Yeah, I know, I know. Yeah.

[Sigh]

Pretty sure your 60s were what we call Duck Dynasty.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

Which seemed pretty golden to me.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

Oh, boy.

[Martin]

I'd argue they were green, even. Yeah.

[Sigh]

Platinum. Ms. Christine called them diamond.

[Martin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, she called him. She called them back rent. Well, she called them. Oh, that's about to get mine. Golly.

[Sigh]

Yeah. This cold, though.

[Martin]

Yeah, Once it ain't hunting season. It can be 95 degrees. I don't even care.

[Sigh]

Those people when it's 100 degrees in the summer.

[Hunter]

I'd rather be 32.

[Martin]

No, no, I. I want it to be as cold as we can stand while we're hunting.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Martin]

As soon as they take that from 68. Yeah. Well, no, it can be 10 then. I don't care because I'm hungry. My. Mentally, I'm prepared for that. But like that week of fall, spring we had when it was 80 degrees every day and everything, like trees started budding and stuff.

[Sigh]

I was like, fish were biting.

[Martin]

I don't know about that, but I don't either. But I assume they were.

[Sigh]

You couldn't get a spot in our parking lot. And I was like, oh, we're back, baby. It's our busy season. Which was cool because it was just a fake out.

[Martin]

Yeah. Then they pulled a plug on it.

[Sigh]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

If it didn't have so much humidity, Louisiana would be all right.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

I told her cold and then. And yeah, because it. It. This is one of them type of coals that goes all the way through or.

[Martin]

Where else you going to go, old man? Well, I don't get no better anywhere else.

[Godwin]

You know, I've said. Yeah, I don't understand that. Yeah, I just. Because, you know, I've been places. It was six degrees and I was comfortable. No, because it was a different climate.

[Sigh]

Yeah, I guess, maybe.

[Godwin]

Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. I don't know if you knew this, but anyone can get the same Premium Wireless for $15 a month plan that I've been enjoying.

[Sigh]

It's not just for celebrities.

[Godwin]

So do like I did and have one of your assistant's assistants switch you to Mint Mobile today.

[Sigh]

I'm told it's super easy to [e-mail] Switch upfront payment of $45 for 3 month plan equivalent to $15 per month. Required intro rate first only then full price plan options available, taxes and fees, extra fee, full [e-mail] did you see that? They just asked the. All the federal employees just sent an email of what they did in the last week. And everybody's upset about that. No, they. They just sent out and said, hey, you need to send an email of everything you did in the last week.

[Hunter]

That's because I can't remember.

[Sigh]

And they're like, why?

[Godwin]

No, they don't do nothing.

[Martin]

Nope. That's probably a little more.

[Godwin]

This is one of them true things. Hey, I don't do nothing.

[Martin]

Johnny D got asked at one time, then he quit.

[Sigh]

I. I kind of been waiting on that email. I'll tell you what I do. Sell worms.

[Martin]

Yeah. I sell crickets.

[Godwin]

Well, I was asked at one time, and then I gave answer. And he all hell broke loose.

[Sigh]

Anytime somebody says, what is your job description? That your boss? He asked, get a backup plan quick.

[Godwin]

And I said, well, hey, what have you seen me do? He said, nothing. And I just leaned forward and said. And I said him. I'm an expert at it. Yeah.

[Martin]

Sounds like you could work for Mr. Cashman.

[Sigh]

I'm telling you, you could go be a Yankee.

[Martin]

You could be a New York Yankee with that kind of attitude.

[Sigh]

Not with that beard.

[Martin]

No, you'd have to get rid of it.

[Godwin]

Yeah. Oh, hey.

[Hunter]

He said now at the outboards, I.

[Martin]

Just, I just want you to get a picture with them, Mr. Cashman.

[Sigh]

No, I'm not anybody that has a no beards policy. I'm a hard out.

[Martin]

Now. I'm not exactly certain. Right. But. And Josh, you weren't around during these days, but here's what I know to be true. When Duck Dynasty was around the first time, I threw out a lot of first pitches at organizations affiliated with Major League Baseball. Yeah, I watched a lot for Duck Dynasty.

[Godwin]

We all did.

[Martin]

We all. Yeah. I'm saying I did. So, you know, and I'm the lowest on totem pole, and I'm cool with that, and I know that. So imagine as you go up the rungs, how many first pitches they threw out, too. I got a lot of ceremonial baseballs in my closet. Like, I don't know why. I guess maybe one day my kids would throw them over.

[Sigh]

You might have thrown out more than Willie, but you were, like, doing it for the Toledo Mud Hens and he was doing it for the Texas Rangers.

[Martin]

Yeah, he was doing it for the. I was in the farm system.

[Sigh]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Just Because I again levels minor league.

[Sigh]

Baseball rules just like minor league hockey.

[Martin]

Yeah. I got a bunch of them from like a southeastern professional baseball league. And like I did, after you do.

[Godwin]

That a few times, you learn that you've been, you've been watching this all your life. You say, well, it's a little harder than you think.

[Martin]

And I know me and Godwin did several together. Me and Godwin were big in the minor league sports realm. Minor league baseball, that's a real demographic. Yeah, not going to lie. Oh, absolutely.

[Sigh]

Part of that. I'm a season ticket holder. Holder.

[Martin]

There you go.

[Sigh]

Sponsor of a minor league hockey team in Louisiana.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

So don't bash that demographic. We also love the Derek and Duck dynasty.

[Martin]

I have season tickets too. So you can't.

[Sigh]

That's what I'm talking about. I see Josh all the time. Yeah, you're also part of the demographic open.

[Martin]

Wait, so anybody in the Yankees organization in the farm system holler at you, boy. I'll come do it.

[Sigh]

Also Mr. Cashman, fly your private jet with your bald head down here and sit here and explain to sigh. Why his beard?

[Martin]

Why beards don't work.

[Godwin]

All beards work worse.

[Martin]

Yeah, actually biblical. Johnny, do you got any emails in there?

[Sigh]

Was not ready for that question. Oh, do we have any voicemails?

[Martin]

Why not? You can read the clock now. That's Hunter department.

[Sigh]

Well, I know I was trying to.

[Godwin]

Get ready bunch of stuff up random. I like the headline it was but.

[Martin]

If you do want to leave us a voicemail the number is 318-215-6559 and we got old fashioned email to hello at call room.

[Sigh]

Emails are about the Yankees and they are about one certain thing that I was checking every day for a very long time and then we had like some special episodes and didn't get to talk about it.

[Martin]

Golf America. Thank you, baby.

[Sigh]

I had a lot of emails about the Gulf of the Google maps fixing.

[Godwin]

The golf got ass all around it.

[Sigh]

I you know pictures of the ocean from space are weird.

[Martin]

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries made it fun. He said that the same regulations apply to the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of America. I saw that they made that post.

[Sigh]

All right, here's your email of the day. It was actually a voicemail but apparently they jacked it all up because they were nervous and so who was it?

[Martin]

Hunter?

[Sigh]

Yeah, their name's Hunter. They're from the 71292. Just kidding. It's Emmanuel. So quick question. He wants to know Sigh. When you are exploring the cosmos in the next life. Can he go with you?

[Godwin]

But I don't know. I don't know if you're gonna make it. I don't even know if I'm gonna make it.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

Okay. Well, he said, I will have to meet somewhere and say, okay, well, we both made it. Let's go.

[Sigh]

Well, he's also invited a lot of other people to join y'all. Apparently, it's his thing.

[Godwin]

Well, think about that. That would be a hoot. Okay. To go to heaven. Okay. Get face to face with Jesus. Okay. And say, lord, I take a tool out. Oh, a year, Haider. And go and look at the rest of what you created.

[Sigh]

And you're apparently. Go. Immanuel's tagging along.

[Godwin]

Hey, I think it'll be a hoot.

[Martin]

Who else he invites.

[Hunter]

What if you done. Everybody gets there.

[Godwin]

Huh?

[Hunter]

What if you done left before he gets there?

[Godwin]

Before who gets there?

[Martin]

Emmanuel.

[Godwin]

Emmanuel.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Martin]

He's saying, well, if you get a head start on him.

[Godwin]

Well, hey, if I get a head start, buddy. Hey, I ain't gonna wait on you.

[Hunter]

Leave him some bread.

[Martin]

But I can come back and give you a map.

[Godwin]

But I give you. Hey. I come back and tell you the stories.

[Sigh]

Hey. In 30,000 years, he'll swing back by and let you know good places to hit.

[Godwin]

Hey, look, it's like. It's not like we're going to have all the time in the world.

[Martin]

Yeah. So I said a year hiatus.

[Hunter]

I'm going to be relevant.

[Martin]

That's what I say. And, like, we don't have a job.

[Godwin]

Got to think about it. We're outside. I'm outside.

[Sigh]

And inside will have jobs.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Sigh]

I think we're made to work.

[Martin]

Are you going to be selling fishing bait?

[Sigh]

It's going to be like the Garden of Eden. Yeah, I think so. To Peter himself, Bank of going to be awesome.

[Martin]

They use that timer.

[Godwin]

I may. I might come up.

[Sigh]

You ain't never heard of Cat.

[Hunter]

I'm gonna teach him a better way.

[Godwin]

I waterway God.

[Martin]

We're gonna slide up.

[Godwin]

Okay. That nobody has every. Do a fish hook in.

[Sigh]

Oh, see?

[Martin]

Dang.

[Godwin]

Pristine. And hey. And nobody's ever caught a fish out of it.

[Martin]

We get to be duck gods and.

[Sigh]

Stuff, but I think it's like the Garden of Eden. Like, they were working. It's just way easier. And then. And then they screwed up. And he was like, you know what? Now it's gonna suck.

[Martin]

And your gift is life. Yeah, man. That's kind of cool.

[Sigh]

I'm into it.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Yeah. You eat this and you live Forever.

[Martin]

You eat that and we're gonna start over.

[Hunter]

And that was.

[Sigh]

Bad cock. And then another heaven question. And heaven's been on my mind recently because I want to go there. So, Emmanuel, just right in line with it. What's something that you want to do in eternity that you can't do here?

[Martin]

Fly, period. Like me. I'm saying self propelled flight, like me.

[Godwin]

Like, let's go to set.

[Martin]

Let's go, friend.

[Sigh]

I don't know if I do not think you'll have to flap your arms actually go to sleep doing anything again.

[Martin]

I'm just saying self propelled, not like fly on an airplane, right?

[Godwin]

It ain't no better. Ain't no backpack, you know, backpack.

[Hunter]

Worry about game warden.

[Godwin]

Yeah. Oh, no, you don't have to worry about it. Ain't nobody, none of them gonna make it to heaven. Hey, I'm just going. What Phil said.

[Hunter]

I don't know. Well, if they are, they brothers.

[Godwin]

Hey, anybody write their grandmother up, Give your grandmother a ticket, you know, for killing a squirrel.

[Sigh]

Who wrote their grandmother a ticket?

[Hunter]

Never.

[Godwin]

Bunk game wardens.

[Martin]

There's probably enough of them that keep tabs on us game wardens listening. Can you send us an email of the craziest tickets you ever written?

[Sigh]

That's actually fantastic.

[Godwin]

That would actually be a good deal.

[Sigh]

If you're a game warden and you want to make it to heaven, send and we'll put in a good word for you.

[Godwin]

I do have to repent, okay? Because I went to Texas.

[Martin]

Okay, stop it.

[Sigh]

Oh, here we go.

[Godwin]

Yeah, the officer's name is Drew.

[Sigh]

Oh, I thought he was talking about that girl.

[Godwin]

And look, he checked me, okay? I see him coming. He's checking everybody in the field, you know, and I. I thought I had my plug in my gun, okay? I handed it to him and, you know, he said, give me another shell. I said, oh, I'm sorry I gave you three. I thought that was unique, you know. So I threw him another way. Put it in there. He said, you don't have a plug in here. I said, you got me write the ticket and no problem.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

And he said, oh, no, we don't. We don't need to do that. He said, hey, cut you a cotton stalk. Shove it in there and put it in there. He said, where do I. I said, hey, look, I appreciate this. I said, because, hey, I was wrong. The gun did not have a plug, and you would be right to write the ticket and I'll pay it.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

He said, no, we don't have to. You just. I said, well, I said, here's what happened. I said, other people use that gun, Jase, when I don't go hunting. And someone took the plug out of. I said, because I trust me, yo. And Bull was right there with me. That's the most three shells in it.

[Martin]

Transfer to blame.

[Godwin]

I've been hunting with him for two days. He ain't put but three shells. He shot three times. That's it. Yeah. So, hey, on that. There are a lot of them out there. That's all they do. They do their job. Okay? And if you went against the law and broke the law, well, you deserved a ticket.

[Martin]

Yeah. Godwin didn't get that same grace that time as bad.

[Godwin]

Well, no, no. Well, hey, hey, look. I met some the next day, I met some other at the next place. And they said, wait a minute. You just said Drew let you go and didn't write you a ticket? And I said, yes, yes, ma'am, he did. You know, she said, I've never heard him do that.

[Sigh]

Power of Cy Robertson, America's favorite. So, hey, I wouldn't write you a ticket, but you know what? I will tell you. And back to Emmanuel. I've done figured out I got no clue how good heaven's going to be. I don't even really know what we're going to be doing.

[Godwin]

You don't know what it's going to be like.

[Sigh]

I know it's going to be better than I can even guess at. But I do know a couple things for a fact about it.

[Godwin]

Me, too.

[Sigh]

Revelation 21:4. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. For the old order of things has.

[Godwin]

Passed away and the new has arrived.

[Sigh]

That's good enough for me right there to want to.

[Godwin]

And here's another thing that I know, okay? All the people that I love and that have passed away, my mom, my dad, my brothers, my sisters, I. I'll see him again.

[Sigh]

There we go.

[Martin]

Amen, buddy.

[Sigh]

And then.

[Godwin]

Okay, and look. And then we're all going to be surrounded by, okay, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and the angels. And everybody up there will be. They love each other and size.

[Sigh]

Going to give a grand tour of the cosmos to Emanuel.

[Godwin]

Hey, my first deal is I'm. I'm going to go below the rings of Saturn. Saturn. I'm going to go through the bad clouds, the bad weather, and I'm going to step on that planet, Saturn, and see what it actually has on it.

[Sigh]

I'm just going to ask you when you get back.

[Godwin]

That's going to be a hoot, too, buddy. I'm looking forward to that. There ain't no telling what I'm going to find.

[Sigh]

Anything you want Saturday?

[Godwin]

I might think about this. I might step on Saturday and that. The whole planet is solid cold.

[Martin]

You never know. Saturn cheese. All right, we'll see y'all next time, right here in the Duck.

[Godwin]

If you didn't have nothing to look forward to, now you do. KD just gave you something to look forward to.
