Episode Overview

This emotionally charged episode departs from the usual hunting tales and banter to highlight an extraordinary guest: Morgan, a devoted mom whose three-year-old daughter, Lydia, was recently diagnosed with Sanfilippo Syndrome—a devastating, fatal childhood disease. Moved by her faith, persistent “God winks” (incredible coincidences that keep pointing her onward), and the support of her community, Morgan shares her family’s journey to seek experimental treatment before irreversible damage sets in.
The crew rallies around the cause, encouraging listeners to support Lydia and other children in need of this life-saving drug.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Opening Banter: Hunting, Beavers & Speedos (00:00–10:12)

• The guys return with their signature humor, discussing duck season excitement, a trip to Buc-ee’s, and amusing parenting anecdotes—like Martin’s kids cuddling a beaver stuffed animal (“Santa Crunchy”).
• A playful detour covers hunting beavers, fire mishaps from Duck Dynasty days, and Godwin’s camouflage Speedo (“Sometimes you gotta make your woman laugh.” – Godwin, 07:56).
• [Notable moment]: “How do we get from Speedos to our next topic of conversation?” (Martin, 09:28) – signaling the transition to the episode’s main story.

Morgan & Lydia’s Journey: From Ordinary Life to Miracle Mission (12:01–39:25)

Discovery and Diagnosis (13:32–19:44)

• Morgan recounts Lydia’s birth and healthy infancy. At 18 months, a TikTok video of a lookalike girl with Sanfilippo Syndrome—a rare, fatal disease likened to childhood Alzheimer’s—alarms Morgan’s mom.
• Symptoms discussed: Ear infections, distended belly, GI issues, sleep disturbances—common but eerily aligning with Sanfilippo.
  • “I was just flabbergasted about it… And the mom starts to say it’s terminal… the kids will lose all of their abilities, walking, talking, feeding themselves, suffer with seizures, and die.” – Morgan, 15:01
• Despite feeling “crazy,” Morgan pushes for testing. Results confirm the diagnosis—an unimaginable moment:
  • “Breathtaking. Worst day of my life for sure… Bam. A terminal disease where she’s going to suffer and lose all the abilities that she has gained.” (Morgan, 18:49)
• Lydia, diagnosed early before symptoms worsen, has only a slight speech delay—no regression yet.

Finding Strength and “God Winks” (20:11–24:00)

• Morgan’s mother urges: “You get out there and you be her voice and you go get her that treatment.”
• In deep despair, Morgan seeks meaning—discovers the name Lydia appears in the Bible (Acts 16:14), with “purple” as both Lydia’s biblical association and the awareness color for Sanfilippo.
  • “It just hit me… this number 16 has been what’s pulled me and my God wink…” (Morgan, 21:47)
• Inspired by these signs, Morgan resolves to advocate tirelessly for Lydia and others.

The Hope for Lydia Campaign (24:00–39:25)

• Morgan creates the “Hope for Lydia” TikTok, instantly gaining viral attention and media interest.
  • “The first three videos… got millions of views… I had zero followers. That’s a God thing in itself.” (Morgan, 24:20)
• Advocacy Efforts:
  • Lydia misses out on clinical trials in California and Japan. The pharma company halts a trial but may provide “expanded access” with $6 million raised.
  • The number “16” (Lydia’s birth day, awareness day, Bible verse, price tags) repeatedly appears, fueling faith and the fundraising drive.
    • “Every minute my phone is popping up with the number 16 from people sending me $16.” (Morgan, 33:22)
• Community Support:
  • Local, parish, and now nationwide support rallies with $16 donation asks; $1.2 million raised as of the recording.
• Morgan’s faith grows profoundly: “I went to church, knew God, but I didn’t ever feel God until this. And He has pulled me out of my dark place…” (Morgan, 29:53)

The Crew Responds: Faith, Empathy, and Action (36:22–52:20)

Emotional Reflections

• The hosts, especially Si and Martin, are visibly moved.
  • “I don't know how this is going to end... but have peace in your heart that the Almighty is involved in this.” – Johnny D, 37:37
  • “Hey, you ain’t supposed to be the one crying, old man. You’re supposed to be our rock.” – Martin to Si, 37:57
  • “You’re exactly who God intended you to be, young lady. You are going to be a world changer.” – Martin, 52:03

Giving, Prayer, and Call to Action

• The crew pledges to support the cause by giving away Martin’s purple LSU Yeti cup, signed by the whole cast, to a donor.
• They urge everyone—if possible—to forego a meal and donate just $16 (the “miracle number”).
  • “$16 isn't a lot. Skip lunch, sit in your car, pray, and then throw 16 bucks into this... The Duck Call Room can make a difference.” – Godwin, 48:32
• Johnny D leads a heartfelt prayer:
  • “Please heal this child and the rest of them. And we ask this through your son and our savior and our master, Jesus Christ. Name. Amen.” (Johnny D, 43:38)
• Impactful remark:
  • “It takes way more faith to believe in that many coincidences than it does to believe in a creator. Just think about that.” – Martin, 42:05
• Details for supporting Lydia:
  • “Our GoFundMe is www.gofundme.com/saveLydia.” (Morgan, 49:39)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “If my mom went and sent me that TikTok video, I would still not know any different because she is full of life.” – Morgan, 19:44
• “Give me this miracle so I can shout this to the rooftop.” – Morgan, 37:31
• “Fighters fight, man. And fighters win. It’s a really cool deal the path that you chose.” – Martin, 40:28
• “We live in a world where you had the worst news ever—terminal—and now it’s not… all that stands in the way is money.” – Godwin, 47:05

Transcript

[Martin]

Foreign. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We are back.

[Godwin]

It's been so long since I've been here.

[Martin]

It's November and yeah, it's a good time of year. Man. It is full moons rocking and rolling. Duck season is right there. You can see it. But before it gets here, make sure to get your digital duck stamp@duck stamp.com slash duck. So easy. Goblin did it. God 1. Pull up your wallet. Show me ducks. They're tired of looking at mine. Watch how quick this works. I just watch this. Oh, oh, oh. Almost as fast as me.

[Godwin]

I was praying.

[Martin]

That is good if you are.

[Godwin]

If it's a little complicated to you find a friend like Martin.

[Martin]

There you go.

[Godwin]

It's really easy.

[Martin]

And then you're done. You don't have to worry about your duck stamp anymore. You're legal. You can go duck hunting. But.

[Godwin]

And it's duck season and we just.

[Martin]

Got through celebrating an event over in Texas for duck. Me and Galvin went to the Ducks Unlimited. What was it? Ray Hubbard. Lake Ray Hubbard banquet. It is one of them cities outside Dallas, you know, north of Taro. I'll tell you where it is. About 20 minutes from Bucky's in Terrell.

[Philip]

That's exactly right.

[Godwin]

It's rude when you send me that photo and then don't bring anything back.

[Martin]

What? Me and Goblin, we eat it. Yeah. Me, Godwin and Philip spent an hour at Buc ee's. It was magic. An hour probably. Yeah. By the time it's all said.

[Philip]

Chocolate covered pecans.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Philip]

Sliced brisket.

[Godwin]

I mean you're not going to get recognized in every gas station you go in Godwin. But were you like a mild like Justin Bieber?

[Philip]

Just look. They just look. And I said that now he wouldn't be here.

[Martin]

Yeah, I got it because I was walking around my little vlog camera. I was buying the boys. You know. Obviously we've documented Crunchy the Beaver on here.

[Godwin]

Oh goodness.

[Martin]

Well, Bucky's is a beaver and they have little beavers dressed up as Santa Claus. So I got the boys Santa Crunchies. And now it's what they sleep with at night. So I did not was not the intention. It was more of like haha. But no, they. They just hug the beaver now. I can't.

[Philip]

You gotta be nasty Crunchy.

[Godwin]

Now you have to kill that beaver. No, you have to shoot that beaver. I can taxidermy him.

[Martin]

I cannot kill the beaver.

[Godwin]

We've already raised the funds.

[Martin]

Yeah, we got Clay in.

[Godwin]

I'm in.

[Martin]

I got a couple of Sponsors for a stuffed beaver. But.

[Godwin]

So your kids are now sleeping with bucky stuffed animals at night.

[Martin]

Get them a duck.

[Godwin]

Good on you, sir.

[Martin]

No, I ain't getting them a duck. No. Ducks are off limits. We're not. We're not going to watch Peppa Pig because wild hogs are very much on the menu. I didn't really think about this one. Paw Patrol and Rubble were saving that beaver.

[Godwin]

You didn't think it would go down?

[Martin]

I didn't think. I didn't think this part of it through.

[Godwin]

So now you're like a beaver apologist.

[Martin]

No.

[Godwin]

Is that the right word?

[Martin]

No. You just can't do it in front of them. So s. I'm going to need you to calm down on the beaver talk in front of the boys, if you don't mind. You just. We're taking Crunchy to jail. Okay. Because he's been bad.

[Godwin]

Eternity.

[Martin]

He's been bad. So we take Crunchy to jail. That's what we do with him now. I failed as a parent is what I see in your eyes. I can see it in your face that I have failed you as a dad.

[Johnny D]

What do you think? Sigh I. I'm speechless.

[Philip]

That's a first.

[Godwin]

The only thing that could make size speechless was Martin's kids falling in love with a wild beaver. That will ruin all of duck season. And Martin can't bring himself to disposing of him.

[Johnny D]

Now that's a unique animal. He is.

[Martin]

He's a cool one.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

He's. He. I say this like Phil didn't ever kill them all either. Not because he couldn't. It is fun. Like the little chess match with a beaver is actually pretty fun because they're better at it than you are. That's the. That's the fun part is trying to stop something that's smarter than you at making water flow or stopping it from flowing.

[Godwin]

It's actually napalm.

[Martin]

Well. Yes. I Goes big Psy uses excavators and. And dynamite.

[Johnny D]

Burn them out, boys.

[Godwin]

That first season of Duck Dynasty was w. Yeah. It was sign. Every explosion he could come up with versus the beaver.

[Martin]

Yeah. Every reason to make something blow up.

[Johnny D]

And I didn't know about the. What? Perma. Perma thing on the ground. Because when I threw my napalm and a beaver hole.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

It set the woods on fire.

[Martin]

Oh yeah. With the whole tunnel up under the whole tunnel system. Yeah. So I had 100 yards of ground on fire. You found every hole in it because smoke was coming out of it. Is pretty funny.

[Godwin]

I like setting Things on fire.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

What is it with fire?

[Martin]

I will say, if you hear something on the watch, if you hear something in the background. Folks, we have a special guest that's coming after this opening segment. It is a really powerful story. Unbelievable. Yeah. Unbelievable story. So we're gonna.

[Godwin]

I don't know that I believed it for a second, and I was like, this is for real. But right now, she's playing with balloon, having the time of her life. That's all good.

[Martin]

And I love it. Yeah. So we'll. We'll get to that. I just want y' all to know, if you're like, what's that sound? It's actually not my kids, so praise the Lord. Which is a. Which is a shock because all the cameras are still upright and nobody's been tackled yet. So none of them have had a rock thrown in their back. So.

[Godwin]

Any more fights lately?

[Martin]

Yes. Yeah. Wayland's become a pretty big fan of the word mine in the past few days for some reason, so I'm a.

[Godwin]

Big fan of that word, too.

[Martin]

Yeah. But what he doesn't understand is technically none of it's his. It's. It's technically mine, so. Or his mother's.

[Godwin]

Except for that beaver. Except for Crunchy, they have.

[Martin]

They can have Santa Crunchy, but Santa Cruz.

[Godwin]

Wait, is it a Santa? Bucky's fever.

[Martin]

Yes. He's got a beard. He's got a hat. Oh, my goodness.

[Godwin]

Martin, what have you done?

[Martin]

Santa Crunchy.

[Philip]

Oh, there was a big, big Santa blow up Santa Claus. About 30ft tall, like.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Philip]

And Martin said, I need be it on.

[Martin]

I was going to buy it. He's carrying around. So he's got a duck call around his neck, and he's got, like, ducks in his little toy bag.

[Godwin]

And it's a blowup one.

[Martin]

Yeah. But we were already burning a midnight oil, and I didn't want to have to wait on it to deflate to take it home with us. So I passed on the option of buying it.

[Philip]

I need to get that.

[Martin]

I wanted it, though, because I thought it'd be a great conversation piece for my neighborhood. That is.

[Godwin]

That's a good conversation piece. I almost bought the Chewbacca stand up for the living room.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

That has a Santa hat on, and it's like, seven foot. But I was afraid that Allison would, you know, leave.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

But I'm still thinking about it because they got a couple.

[Martin]

Judging by the hair you left on that deodorant, you could just walk in wearing a Santa hat and get the same effect.

[Godwin]

I'M not Chewbacca. Just from the neck up. I can grow a lot of hair. But what I'd say at 36, it's starting to get weird.

[Martin]

It's starting to grow other places.

[Godwin]

I don't like it. I'm not a fan of it. About to Michael Phelps my whole body.

[Martin]

Oh, really?

[Godwin]

No.

[Martin]

Okay. All right.

[Godwin]

I'm just accepting it.

[Martin]

Yeah, it's fine. Godwin got a visual there for a second.

[Godwin]

God, when you ever wore a Speedo and shaved your legs?

[Philip]

Yeah, I ain't shaved my legs.

[Martin]

Wait, out of those two, the one you've done has worn a Speedo.

[Johnny D]

What?

[Martin]

When? Why?

[Godwin]

Where?

[Martin]

Cold. Don't you could pictures.

[Johnny D]

Don't you could.

[Martin]

Does your Speedo have like Paula's face on them? That'd be kind of funny.

[Godwin]

I am the proud owner of a camouflage duck commander Speedo that I've never worn in public.

[Martin]

Really?

[Godwin]

Somebody sent it to Willie. I said keeping that. But you've worn it around the house just to see.

[Martin]

Yes.

[Godwin]

Sometimes you gotta make your woman laugh.

[Philip]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

And that will do it.

[Martin]

And that's something nobody can borrow. Yeah. Right. Like hey, manly borrowed at speedo. No. No, we're not. No.

[Godwin]

So you had one at one point.

[Philip]

They got it.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Yes. Why he said that with a little twinkle in his eye.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

I've heard vacation. Godwin is a different kind of guy. But I need. I need you to. I need you to tell me.

[Philip]

Oh, it ain't going in public.

[Godwin]

Okay.

[Johnny D]

All right. This is private parties only, son.

[Martin]

You wear it to the deer camp when it's just you and miss Paul.

[Johnny D]

All right.

[Philip]

Oh, yeah.

[Godwin]

I'll tell you where he wears it.

[Johnny D]

Where? Hot tub.

[Martin]

Is it your hot tub Speedo?

[Philip]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Okay. There you go. Wait.

[Godwin]

We had so many plans today and this was not on it.

[Johnny D]

Romance is in the air.

[Martin]

It is love never dies. Right?

[Philip]

There you go.

[Godwin]

Is yours camouflage like mine?

[Philip]

No, it's red.

[Martin]

Oh, like fire engine red? Pretty much.

[Morgan]

Hey, red.

[Godwin]

I'm guessing.

[Johnny D]

Hey, red is a good color.

[Martin]

Yes.

[Godwin]

Do you have any red Speedos?

[Johnny D]

No, but I had a red silk.

[Martin]

Jacket with a dragon.

[Johnny D]

Big fire breathing dragon on it.

[Martin]

Yeah, he knows.

[Johnny D]

He was bright, bright red.

[Martin]

I didn't have to wear red. He married red. You know, it's. Wow. I don't. It never. I don't. Never ceases to amaze me where we get to in here.

[Philip]

It got some initials and I'm not.

[Martin]

Real sure how to get from speedos to our next topic of conversation. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

There's no way how do we turn this?

[Godwin]

There is no line from this to that. There isn't one.

[Martin]

I've tried to build a bridge, but I don't think it exists.

[Godwin]

I had the intro in my mind when we came here.

[Martin]

I think I need to do like Crunchy and just build a beaver. Damn.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

And just stop the flow.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Martin]

And then we'll.

[Godwin]

Remember when we used to say, hey, we're about to have an ad. We might should do that.

[Martin]

Yeah. We're going to take a break.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Yeah. Okay. Well, let's take a break and we're going to get our guest in here. And hopefully you guys find this as cool as we did. So I find it and as we do. Did do.

[Godwin]

I don't know, a lot of things.

[Martin]

Whatever. Anyway, we'll be back yesterday.

[Godwin]

Come on, Morgan.

[Martin]

We'll be back.

[Godwin]

Hey, I did have a couple come in the other day. They said, remember our old sponsor, Harvest Host?

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

Well, they used them.

[Martin]

Did they?

[Godwin]

And now they're back.

[Martin]

Hotels are expensive. Lord knows you can't fly anywhere with the government shut down. So this is the perfect time. If you, if you own an rv, hit the road. If you don't own one, rent one. And hit the road. And let our friends over at Harvest Host help you out. Because now you can visit new places. Look, everybody knows we're sponsored by Harvest Host. With Harvest Host membership, you get unlimited no fee overnight RV stays at 90500 locations across US and Canada.

[Godwin]

That's a lot of locations.

[Martin]

You kidding? You can book your favorite destinations or you can book brand new destinations. It doesn't matter. With Harvest Host, you may end up at a winery.

[Godwin]

What?

[Martin]

An orchard.

[Godwin]

Huh?

[Martin]

A museum, a farm, a golf course, a drive in, movie theater.

[Godwin]

Hunter. Sign up Scott. Scott's in.

[Martin]

But planning the trip is easy. With our mapping tool, you can filter by attraction type, your rig length or more to show you host locations that are all on your route. And with over 50,000 5 star reviews and you're sure to love your journey. Like I said, membership just 69 bucks a year, you can finally sign up for a service that doesn't break the bank. Fifteen years ago, back when I first started here at Duck Commander, we had an RV and we traveled the country doing duck hunts. This would have been great to while you're on the road. But if we were still doing that here with an RV traveling around, best believe I'd be booking different places to stay other than the truck stop. Between now and December 7th. Harvest Host has an amazing holiday offer. Head to harvest host.com and use the code Duck Store Thrift 30 for 30% off your Harvest Host membership. Once again, that's harvesthost.com for 30% off by December 7th. And make sure you use our promo code Duck30 so they know we sent you.

[Godwin]

I hate all social media to some extent, but I know it's a good thing, right?

[Martin]

Yeah, can be.

[Godwin]

It can be a very good thing. And we. We've stumbled across something. S. We have a friend, new friend. We met her a minute ago, but we met on Facebook yesterday. Her name's Morgan. She's got a crazy story to tell. But here's the deal. It started with TikTok, and I hate TikTok. So now I have to apologize because TikTok has done good in the world.

[Martin]

TikTok cost me a lot of money. Does it? Yeah. Brittany loves a TikTok shop.

[Godwin]

Is that a thing? See, I don't even know.

[Martin]

Is that a thing? Yeah, man. Like, heated gloves show up, and we are just like. I don't know. It's. It's weird, man.

[Godwin]

But okay, so anyway.

[Martin]

Anyway, I digress.

[Godwin]

We found great news on social media, and the world has enough bad news going on. So we've got a cool story to tell. Sai, this is Morgan.

[Morgan]

Hello.

[Johnny D]

Pleasure.

[Godwin]

Have you ever met.

[Morgan]

Great to meet you. I've never met you in person, obviously.

[Martin]

But here we are. Here we are now.

[Godwin]

So Morgan kind of reached out on Facebook, but she basically said, does anybody know any of the Robertson podcast people? And we.

[Martin]

You.

[Godwin]

You've got some desperate. Okay, you've got some.

[Morgan]

I'm gonna do what I gotta do. And I've asked, and here I am.

[Godwin]

Here she is. And Beth sent it to me, and then me and Martin talked about it, and I said, I'm just gonna see what she's doing tomorrow morning because we're filming, and here we are.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I took off work. I made him take off work.

[Godwin]

That's awesome.

[Martin]

Well, also, kudos to your bosses for letting you do this, because this is. I. I mean, I view it as a very worthy thing of what we're about to talk about. I don't. You know, sometimes you don't know why you do these things or what the platform is there for, but then every now and then, it just kind of writes itself, so.

[Godwin]

And this one wrote itself, so. Morgan, I don't want to just shoot. Go.

[Martin]

But. Yeah, go. Why are you here? Why are you here, Morgan?

[Morgan]

All right, start from the beginning.

[Godwin]

Okay, so you have a good podcast voice. I'm gonna let you Know that.

[Martin]

Oh, yeah, she's good. Yeah. Yeah, she's in.

[Godwin]

Yeah, but go ahead. Sorry.

[Morgan]

So that's our little Lydia. She's three years old.

[Godwin]

Lydia's in the building, by the way. She was playing with the building.

[Martin]

The problem with Lydia, there was one problem. When they walked in, they said, we're sorry. She doesn't like guys with beards. Except for dad. And I was like, ruh, row.

[Morgan]

I was a little nervous. She's not crying, so she was waving. Yeah, we're making progress.

[Martin]

And she waving now and smiling. So we're good. We're working.

[Morgan]

So Lydia was born on October 16th in 2022. Three years ago. So I had the perfect pregnancy.

[Martin]

Well, my, my twins were born October 12, 2022. So we're four days apart. That's crazy. Awesome. That I knew. Yeah. She's taller than Waylon.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, she's. She's a big girl.

[Martin]

She's tall. That's awesome.

[Morgan]

Yeah, she's a girl.

[Martin]

Sorry about that.

[Morgan]

You're good. So had a perfect pregnancy, perfect labor, perfect delivery. When she came out, doctor said she was perfect. Just living our life. Brought her home. We have a six year old also. We were just so happy to have our little complete family. So when she turned 18 months old, my mom sends me a tick tock video. And it's a little girl that looks just like her, could have been her twin. So immediately it got my attention and I was like, that looks just like Lydia. So, you know, I'm just flabbergasted about it. And her mom, it's a mom advocating for her daughter of a disease called San Felipo syndrome. So I'm just stalking it and I'm looking and it the mom starts to say it's terminal. It's like childhood Alzheimer's. The kids will lose all of their abilities, walking, talking, feeding themselves, suffer with seizures, and die. Life expectancy is not past teenage years. So I was reading more into it and symptoms that were going along with it. The mom mom was advocating about ear infections, a distended belly, GI issues such as constipation, sleep disturbances, thick eyebrow brows. Those symptoms are common things that babies have. So I was never alarmed by anything. So I, at this point, I could not sleep at night and it was just a radar ringing in my head constantly. Could not sleep. So I took it to our pediatrician and I felt like I was crazy. Like my child is perfectly fine and I never thought anything was wrong with her. So I took it to our pediatrician who was my pediatrician we live in a small town. Everyone knows everybody.

[Johnny D]

Amen.

[Martin]

Same right.

[Godwin]

Martin still goes to the pediatrician. Just so we're all clear, I went in.

[Martin]

There's no age limit. Just because they specialize in kids, they're still humans, so, you know, they still give you a steroid shot.

[Morgan]

I was going in anyway because she had an ear infection. It was like her 10th one at this point. And we're going to get a shot. So while we were there, I looked at our pediatrician. I said, do not think I'm crazy whenever I show you this, but I came across this video and this little girl is her twin and she's having these same three or four symptoms that Lydia is having. And I showed him the tick tock video, the side by side pictures. And he looks, he sits down and he says, I've never been asked this before. I'm gonna have to leave the room and go look it up myself. Give me 15 minutes and I'll come back in here. And so he did. And he comes back in and he says, I can't tell you she doesn't have it, but just know that children come in here with all the tones. With ear infections, they don't sleep, they got constipation issues. But I'm going to order you the test so we can rule it out and you can sleep better. So we go to Willis Knighton and Shreveport because our little hospital did not facilitate the blood work and testing. It was a urine test. And we go to Willis Knighton and had the lab work done, the blood test. And I was go. I hadn't heard anything. It been a week. And I got off of work one day to go pick up the girls for my mom because she keeps them for me. And I'm sitting in the living room, my mom says, have you looked up her test results yet? And I was looking at every day. And I hadn't that day. So I'm sitting in the couch and I pull up the patient portal and it says, positive Sanfilippo syndrome, MPS3.

[Martin]

That's okay.

[Godwin]

Yeah, you're good.

[Morgan]

I've done this a million times, as you can imagine. Breathtaking. Worst day of my life for sure. The fact that I thought she was perfectly fine for 18 months and then bam. A terminal disease where she's going to suffer and lose all the abilities that she has gained.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Children don't usually get diagnosed until they are four or five, six years old, when they've already started to regress. Lydia has not had brain damage. She has not had any regression. As you can tell, she is your typical toddler.

[Godwin]

Yeah. She's having a ball over there, by the way.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

She finally got comfortable with it.

[Morgan]

Mom went to me.

[Godwin]

No longer afraid of beards.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

If my mom went and sent me that tick tock video, I would still not know any different because she is full of life. I mean, she has a slight speech delay, but even whenever she had her evaluation stuff, they said it was nothing to be alarmed at.

[Martin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

So we found out. I was hysterical.

[Martin]

As you should be. That that's a. That's a fair reaction.

[Morgan]

That, like, the life was ripped out of me.

[Martin]

Yep.

[Morgan]

And my mom obviously had been looking this stuff up before she sent me this video. That woman is my rock. And she looked it up. She saw that there was treatments out there in the world, but they were only in clinical trials and they were not approved by the FDA yet, so they're not on the market. So she looked at me and she said, morgan, I do not look as this is terminal. You get out there and you be her voice and you go get her that treatment. So it took me about two weeks. I was in a very dark place. I wasn't eating. I feel like I couldn't even be a mom. I just feel like I could not do anything. And I was laying in bed one night, and I was in my dark place, couldn't sleep, and something told me to go look up if Lydia meant anything in the Bible. So I'm laying in bed, and I Google does. Is Lydia mentioned anywhere in the Bible? And it brought up Acts, Chapter 16, 14. Lydia is the woman of purple as she sold purple expensive clothes. So then it just hit me. Lydia was born on the 16th. I found out I was pregnant with her on Valentine's day on the 14th. So then I look up what color represents Sanfilippo syndrome. It was purple. Lydia was also born at 808, which is 16. San Felipe Awareness Day is November 16th. So this 16th, this number 16 has been what's pulled me and my God wink immediately whenever I saw all that, it, like, pulled me out of my dark place. I step out of. Pulled myself out of bed, and I hit Kirk. And I said, look at this. And from that moment on, I knew I had to be that voice. I couldn't be in a dark hole anymore, and I had to get out there and fight for her.

[Morgan]

We went put her on the wait list for a looked up a clinical trial. She was on the white list for one in California. She did not get into it and I said okay, well I just got to get her voice out there. I gotta let people hear her story before it's too late. So like the mama I saw was advocating for her daughter. I got on Tik Tok and I made a hope for Lydia Tik Tok immediately. The first three videos introducing her to the world and telling her story how she was diagnosed got millions of views and I had zero followers. Don't know how that happened. That's a God thing in itself. And I was like okay, I can do this. And people are reaching out to me. Within two weeks I had People's magazine reaching out to me like, let me help you share her story. And I got about 15 different news articles and worldwide news places reaching out to me on this story of me wanting to save her. So I was just busy, busy, busy. And I got her story out there and once it were to the People magazine, it just was all over the place.

[Godwin]

So when was all this, by the way?

[Morgan]

She was diagnosed on April 4, 2024.

[Godwin]

So this is a year and a half ago.

[Morgan]

A year and a half ago. 18 months ago. Yes. So I just got out there and I've been advocating for her ever since. There has been. She didn't get into that clinical trial. There's also one in Japan that gives them the medicine that they need and that one was already full with Japan Sanfilippo children, because there it's 1 in 70,000. Seems small, but there are hundreds of kids out there with this. And so I've been advocating for her. There's been no treatment options. We and every. I've just been fundraising and fundraising trying to get a clinical trial started. The clinical trial that she was on the waitlist for, it shut down last year because of funding. A new pharmaceutical company bought it out and they are taking that research, that is enough research to the FDA saying this drug works and we need to get it to the kids. So they're taking all that research and send it to the fda. And this was announced at the beginning of this year and they're sent to the FDA at the beginning of 2026. So this year, that pharmacoceutical company that we heard on Sunday there has been no treatment option for her and we're getting into the period of time to where she is about to start. Regression, regression, regression. And time is ticking. On Sunday, we were told that that pharmaceutical company that has all the research and has made the drug and send it to the FDA can make extra medicine for the children to get while waiting for the FDA approval if we can get to $6 million and 3.8 million by December 1st. So that is a miracle in itself that this medicine is even reachable for our child and it will be available for 15 other children like her. So we got this news. My community and us and us advocating had already reached, I think 70, $473,000 and it still just wasn't enough for a clinical trial. Those are millions of dollars. So for this pharmaceutical company to come out and tell us that they're that my kid can get a treatment, I can get a treatment before brain damage begins is a miracle. In itself, because it's never been an expanded access period for any kid in the same flavor community to get that drug. So once we were told that news on Sunday, I immediately went on my social media and was like, hit the ground running me now. And I truly feel that God made me her mom for a reason. And 18 months ago, I was such in a dark hole and there's absolutely no way that I can do this. And I feel like God gave it to me, gave it to us, because he knew that we could handle it. And I feel like that I've become such a large voice for these children that it's my only option for my child. So I have a voice and I'm just trying to get it out there that there are children like Lydia and others like her, that there's a treatment out there that can save her life. And the science of it is her body is missing an enzyme that our bodies have. Without that enzyme, a toxic waste is going to build up in her body and it is going to cause brain damage. That's why children look like they have their normal children and they have all the potential in the world that did.

[Godwin]

That toxic way she getting on camera.

[Morgan]

Now, by the way, that toxic waste will build up and that's what causes the brain damage. And then you just watch the children deteriorate over time. So I was given the news on Sunday and I have been not sleeping, advocating putting it out there. The story like, help me save my daughter. And this is our last chance to save her before the disease takes over and the brain damage begins.

[Godwin]

So this is for 14 other kids as well?

[Morgan]

Correct.

[Godwin]

All right, girl, you got a wild story.

[Morgan]

Yes. So this, the 3.8 million has to be reached by December 1st because that's how much it takes for this drug. And it is a blessing that this company is even saying, hey, we will make extra if y' all can. If we can come. If y' all can come up with the money to get this.

[Godwin]

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out the words.

[Morgan]

So, you know, I got on TikTok and I was like, so let me tell you about my this God wink. I mean, I tell you there's been God wink. And I'm going to tell you, we would be here all day if I told you about all these God winks.

[Godwin]

Sorry, are you on TikTok?

[Morgan]

God has been that God has placed in my life during this. And to be honest, I went to church, knew God, but I didn't ever feel God until this. And he has pulled me out of my dark place. And I just feel like God made me her mom for a reason, and he gave me the situation to get closer to him. And I tell God every night, make this my testimony and give me this miracle so I can shout it to the rooftop so I can tell everybody else.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So I got. After we found out on. Remember number 16, I got on TikTok social media and was telling her story that Sunday night after I found out. And this is what we need. So I was in Hobby lobby, and praise God, I was in the checkout line getting something for my daughter.

[Martin]

You can get up here, girl.

[Godwin]

Get up out of here and talk in that microphone.

[Martin]

Yeah. Come on, sweet girl.

[Morgan]

This is Lydia.

[Godwin]

She's in now. Yeah, you say hey.

[Martin]

Hi, Lydia.

[Morgan]

Hello.

[Martin]

She just wanted to make sure that we knew who it was. She wanted to put a face to it, right?

[Morgan]

So I was in Hobby Lobby, and I'm at the checkout line, and there was this book sitting on the shelf, and it said, the women of the Bible speak. And it was 16 women. And then it was purple, and it said the price was 16, 19. And I'm like, I'm gonna get it.

[Godwin]

Yeah, you should buy that.

[Morgan]

I should buy that.

[Godwin]

That is the Lord telling you, buy this.

[Morgan]

That's the Lord tell me, buy that. So I get up to the cashier and. Hang on. Bring me my phone, Kurt. I gotta read it off. I get up to the cashier and checking out, and he was like, that's a weird price. And I'm like, hmm. So I'm like, is this a God wink? I'm always looking for God winks. So I get to my car and I pull up bible verses with 16, 19. And it pulls up job 16, 19. Even now my witness is in heaven. My advocate is on high. I am the advocate. I am the advocate, and my witness is in heaven. So there's my 16. So then my husband.

[Martin]

I ain't cold, but I got chills.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

My husband was elk hunting in Colorado that same week, and he gets on on Thursday, and he has.

[Martin]

Did you kill a 16 point?

[Morgan]

Unfortunately, none.

[Godwin]

Oh, my word, Martin. I was gonna lose it.

[Martin]

Did you miss at 16 yards? Because there's a lot of ways this could go.

[Morgan]

So he brings them home a. It was like a little moose purple. It was like this purple tin and mousse, and on the price tag, it was 16. Purple. 16. So then, you know, I'm advocating on TikTok. You know, I'm just. I'm always feeling these God winks. But I'm advocating on TikTok at the point in time I had 375,000 followers. One of my followers comment on there, and she said, if you have 375,000 followers, if 375 people sent you $16, that's sick. That's your $6 million. And I'm like, okay, God, here I go. So what did I do? I got on TikTok and I told him about that. Got those God winks and how. 16.

[Godwin]

So you're just raising his number 16.

[Morgan]

I asked 375,000 people to send me $16. And I want to say since I've done that, it's. I've raised over $200,000 just from the world trying to help me with $16. And every minute my phone is popping up with the number 16 from people sending me $16. Our community has been the most. The biggest blessing behind us. And right now there's about 30 raffles. She's marking her spot.

[Godwin]

Yeah, right away.

[Martin]

That's fine. Go ahead.

[Morgan]

There's about 30 raffles. There's.

[Godwin]

Have a Sharpie. Now that she just found him.

[Martin]

Everybody's written here.

[Godwin]

I'm gonna give you a shout out.

[Martin]

You.

[Godwin]

You thought it was another pin. I said, I'm gonna warn you, that one's a little more permanent.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Martin]

Y' all hear that water dripping? You know what that sound is? Cove. Pure cove. Which is.

[Godwin]

Which is shockingly, the perfect holiday gift for you, Martin.

[Martin]

I do love water because you drink.

[Godwin]

More water than anybody I know.

[Martin]

I do.

[Godwin]

You're well hydrated.

[Martin]

I like to drink a lot. You know what's really cool about it is, like, this time of year, too. Like, you could have it at your house where you spend most of the time during the spring, summer, all that. But now that falls rolled around, you could take. Because it's portable, because it's countertop, you can take that thing to the hunting camp and you no longer have to worry. Did I bring three cases of bottled water to make it through the weekend? That's a hassle.

[Godwin]

Just take your countertop water purifier, and there you go right there.

[Martin]

Got a great design. Sleek design, fits on any countertop space. Plus, you just. You want good water. You want water to taste like water. It should be pure, clean, with no questionable aftertaste. It's super easy. So I could do it. No problem. You don't have to drill holes, and you don't need a plumber. You just set it on the counter, plug it in, and fill it up with tap water. The favorite feature, Temperature control. How cold do you want this? Just came out at 66.

[Godwin]

Oh, man. That would have been a game changer back in the day. You just get the right temperature water for your formula.

[Martin]

Oh, good. Cove Pure is lab certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants from your water. That includes stuff like PFAS, pharmaceuticals, fluoride, lead, arsenic. It's the purest water that you can get. So if you're looking for a gift that's good for your loved ones and one that they'll actually use, I highly recommend Cov Pure. And because we've partnered with them, they're giving you a special $250 holiday discount with our link covpure.com duck that's C-O-V-E-P-U-R E.com to get $250 off covpure.com. yeah. Hurry before the sale ends.

[Morgan]

And it's. It's so beautiful how the community, and not just our community. Every time I open up Facebook, there's a person messaging me. I can't keep up with the messages. There is not just from our town. It's like a local parish and out of town people doing fundraisers for her and putting that 16 out there. Like, she just needs $16. $16 can save her life.

[Martin]

And number 16 for LSU Tigers is Ahmad Bro, who is a local guy from Ruston, Louisiana. I'm just very, very good young man, by the way. Very good kid. You know, have duck hunted with a buddy of his. And so I just. You start thinking about all these things as I'm trying here, looking at this purple LSU yeti cup, and I'm like.

[Godwin]

I'm trying to wrap.

[Martin]

What am I supposed. What am I supposed to do with this purple cup now? Because I. I want to do something with it. Like, you know, I don't need the thing. I can drink out of anything.

[Johnny D]

When they told me a little bit about your story, I was thinking about, okay, how can I help y'?

[Martin]

All?

[Johnny D]

And the first thing that come to my mind was, who did you turn to when you got hit in the gut with this? Well, I know this. You was in a dark place. But guess what, okay? There's three of them involved in this. Father, the Son, Holy Spirit. Okay? Cause there's too much tied to his biblical word with this young lady right here.

[Morgan]

Absolutely. That's why I say, give me this miracle so I can shout this to the rooftop.

[Johnny D]

Oh, no, I don't know how this is going to end. Okay. But, you know, have peace in your heart that the Almighty is involved in this.

[Morgan]

I believe it 100%.

[Martin]

Mm. Hey, you ain't. You ain't supposed to be the one crying old man. You're supposed to be our rock.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, well, I can't help it.

[Martin]

Everybody knows me and him do this. No, no.

[Johnny D]

Cause I. When I'm out speaking, I always tell people you don't believe because you've never seen them do anything. Well, folks, open your eyes. God's heavily involved with this couple here and this young lady. Like I said, Father, I don't know how you're going to end this, but, yo, thank you for this testimony because it strengthens me in my faith and my belief in you. 3.

[Morgan]

Amen.

[Martin]

Well, here's what I'm gonna do for sure. But anybody of our fans, here's what we're gonna do. I was wondering what to do. Lindsay, just text me from behind camera. I mean, I don't think it's just happenstance that there's a purple cup that I sit here and drink out of every week. I'm gonna sign it. I'm gonna get side to side, and I'm get Johnny D to sign it. So if you're listening to this on duck call room and you feel led to donate $16 to this call, put DCR out behind your name, wherever this is, and one of y' all will get this. I'm sorry if you're not an LSU fan. That's not my fault. LSU on the front. Go Tigers.

[Johnny D]

By the way, it's still a good color.

[Martin]

Purple. Still a good color. Get past the lsu. Fill it in. Do whatever you want to. Put rol front. I don't really care because we got a lot of them Alabama folks in here, but as we should. But whenever you do that, we will get with them, and one of y' all will. Will get this cup. So we'll give the cup away as part of an incentive program. We don't. But we don't currently have an A purple duck call. I would say we could do something there, but I don't. We couldn't get that turned around in time for you guys for December 1st, either. So I. I'm. My mind is just like.

[Godwin]

Just wrapping my head around the fact.

[Martin]

That you think yours is blowing. My kids are four days older than that. Than little Lydia. Yeah, like four days. Like we're talking about. Not. Not four years, four months, four days. We were all in the hospital at the same time.

[Godwin]

Yeah.

[Martin]

And I got two little three year old boys that, I mean, I get it. Like, I don't understand. Yeah, you're, you're, you're processing through all this is incredible.

[Godwin]

Yeah, you were right. There's a reason God chose you.

[Martin]

I'm just going to say it like this, mom. My hats off to you. Yeah, right. Because you could have chosen a bunch of different paths. You could have stayed locked in that dark spot and accepted, you know, the current fate of whatever that looked like. Or you could get up and fight. And fighters fight, man. And fighters win. And fighters. I mean, it's a really cool deal of the path that you chose and I just want to commend you on the path that you chose because that even this path, while we all say that we would do it and it seems, it's very easy to seem like that's the right thing to do.

[Godwin]

It's not easy.

[Martin]

It's not easy getting up every day knowing that, holy cow, we've got to raise $6 million. Holy. But the fact that there's even a chance to raise $6 million to be done something is incredible. By the way, that this is, there is a treatment out there. Thank God for living in 2025. Right? So for all you people griping about, yeah, this wasn't possible a year ago. Just, just remember that, like this was not even possible. So before you get on your little soapbox about where we live and why it's so terrible, look, what could possibly happen for young Lydia and this family and for 16 other families, right? 15 other families.

[Morgan]

More good people in the world than there is bad.

[Martin]

Yeah, just the bad one to hit.

[Morgan]

All the good people.

[Martin]

Well, the bad ones hit all the good people.

[Godwin]

But if you had will take $16.

[Martin]

A lot of people, you can believe in circumstances and you can believe in coincidences and you can believe in all this. Or you could just put your faith in one man.

[Morgan]

It's not a coincidence. There's too many God wings. I haven't even would be on her hours. That's what I'm talking to be a coincidence.

[Martin]

It's way. It's way. It takes way more faith to believe in that many coincidences to line up than it does to believe in a creator. Just think about that.

[Johnny D]

The Almighty is as involved in this. And like I said, I don't know how he's going to end it, but I know this. He takes bad stuff and then turns it around and uses it to show his glory.

[Martin]

Amen. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Okay. And Father, that is our, our Prayer to you.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Take this disease and then make it a laughing matter, because your glory will shine over all of it.

[Martin]

Hey, well, better than that. Let's just make it official. Do a prayer, big fella.

[Johnny D]

Let's do it, Father, we bring Lydia into your throne room. And, Father, we know there's three of you. You, your son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior, and your holy spirit, who guided the man to record your word. Father, our request is, and we are on our knees, Father, before you as it please, not only heal Lydia, but also heal those that are affected by it. The other 15 or even more than that, you know how many. Okay, but our request is, and we beg you, Father, please heal this child and the rest of them. And we ask this through your son and our savior and our master, Jesus Christ. Name. Amen.

[Martin]

Amen. Amen. Unbelievable. All right. I'm dreaming all over digital duck stamp. There you go. Just like the one we've never known because it's brand new from duck stamp. And if you can get the all new digital duck stamp this fall, you don't dream. I'm telling you, you don't have to worry about a paper stamp anymore. That is something to be thankful for. So when you get there around the Thanksgiving table, be thankful that now you don't have to worry about the technicalities of signing a duck stamp or.

[Godwin]

And if you're traveling, boom, you're headed to a new state to see your family. You might go duck hunting with them on that Thursday morning or Friday. Boom, you got it. Your duck stamps going with you.

[Martin]

It doesn't matter if you got service or not because you just add it to the wallet on your phone. You've got your QR code there. It shows that you have your duck stamp. So you're legal. You can go hunting with your family. You can chase birds, you can eat leftovers. You can do anything that you want to this Thanksgiving holiday season because you're gonna be legal. So if duck and dressing's on the menu get you a duck stamp. Go get your ducks. Make your dressing, boys.

[Johnny D]

Boom.

[Martin]

Don't wait till opening morning and get caught with your waiters down. Knock it out right now from your pocket and you're set for the season. Go hunting this Thanksgiving, but make sure you do it legally with the all new digital duck stamp from Duck Stamp.com. get legal, help the ducks and make your mama proud. Go to duck stamp.com duck that's duckstamp.com duck.

[Morgan]

Now, this isn't just our family having to fundraise Us. This is all the families together.

[Godwin]

Yeah, it's all the families together.

[Morgan]

Yes. And we have hit 1.2 million as of yesterday. We got 2.6 to go.

[Martin]

2.6.

[Morgan]

Got 16 popping up on my phone.

[Martin]

Okay.

[Godwin]

And we got those other families. Found the right little nurse with the can do attitude from Natchitoches that is.

[Morgan]

Going, they made you feisty for a reason.

[Godwin]

They did. You send all his friends back at the restaurant, don't you?

[Martin]

Yeah, well, somebody got to tell them they screwed one. I'm married to one. Just like you said. Yes, it happens.

[Godwin]

She's a little. Oh, yeah.

[Martin]

And good for being a mom. Good for being an advocate for your child, too. In a day where. And it is easy, right? Like, I'm not even going to pretend, but like the same deal of, you know, we had one Jackson who ended up in speech therapy and like, just the delays and the things that then you. You go down a tailspin spiral of something's wrong with my child. And you know, you're told by everybody, no, it's normal. No, they're normal. It's fine. That's just an average, you know. So good for. For you, for advocating for. For Lydia. Thanks for. She can't say it, but thank you for being her voice. And thank you for being the voice for the. For all the 1 in 70,000 out there. I did get a little nerdy and looked up some stuff on it while we were. While we were. While we were busy doing it. And so what a time to be alive. And pharmaceutical companies, they're out here raising this money for my challenge to you. Should any of y' all listen to it. Make this stuff affordable for families, man. Like, let's figure out a way for all of us to subsidize it where. Where we're helping them as well. Like, they're going to help you get to this point and then once you get there, then help them out in the return. Don't. Don't make people finance their life away to save their child from crying out loud.

[Morgan]

Like science is there.

[Martin]

Yeah. It's there.

[Godwin]

There.

[Martin]

It's there. It's available. And there's some stuff that's just done for the greater good. So. Man, our. Our. Yeah. Crap.

[Godwin]

We live in a world where you had the worst news ever of terminal and now it's not.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

And all that stands in the way is money.

[Martin]

Yeah. And our hope will always be eternal, which is a thing. Right? Like our hope. But the hope that you have here on this earth, that's a Cool thing, because there's, you know, even for some things, there's a lot of people that don't end up having that hope. And so the fact that there's only a couple of million bucks that stand in between you and your Hope and for 15 others, and then hopefully, once they see that that's able to be done, they can continue. And you have 15 true cases of. Of success and. And whatever success looks like, even if success is just slowing down, like, you know, what is. What does success look like? In that we. We obviously pray for complete healing for everybody, you know, and it.

[Morgan]

Just pray for no suffering.

[Martin]

Yes. Yes, absolutely. And for y', all, too, like, for the parents, for. It was big brother, I'm sure.

[Godwin]

Big sister.

[Martin]

Big sister.

[Morgan]

She doesn't know. She has no idea.

[Martin]

She hasn't. Yeah. So. But that day will come, right? And so. Which will probably come with a lot of questions, too. So pray for you guys to answer those questions and. And that, you know, that her mind's at ease and her heart's at ease when. When hopefully Sissy starts a new treatment or whatever, that protocol, like, so lifting all your families up.

[Godwin]

I just want to say before we wrap this up.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

Oh, boy. $16 isn't a lot. Skip lunch, sit in your car, pray, and then throw the 16 bucks into this. It's a way better. Cause the duck call room can make a difference.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

As a dad of a kid who also had some stuff, it's, like, really tough. And I never heard the word terminal, but I've opened that portal and got good news. And so. You are incredible. I didn't plan on all this, but, you know, I don't know why we have the duck call room sometimes, but today felt like, let's try this, see what happens. And I know how many people have just bought a hat or a duck call from us. Just go throw $16. That's cheaper. And we got a lot of listeners. Tell them how to do that before I, you know, snot all over myself more.

[Morgan]

Our GoFundMe is ww.gofundme.com Save Lydia.

[Godwin]

Save Lydia. S A B E L Y.

[Martin]

If you're listening, that's Lydia. You here? By the way, that's not. That's not Johnny D blowing his nose or nothing. So that's actually Lydia, who is here with us in studio. So if you haven't, man, go check out our YouTube part. Go. Just. Just put a face to it. Right? Because a lot of times, putting a face changes things, you know, and for your Sake. Like, mean Lydia walks in here. I'm with you. Like, she walks in here looking like a toddler. Right. She. I'm something. I'm very familiar with times, too. Yeah. What can I grab and what can I throw? Cool. That's exactly where I am in life. And so, yeah. Sixteen bucks, man, if you got it. We know it's the holiday season. We know in the United States, this ain't necessarily the best time to be asking for money. Right. Like, you all have your struggles out there. We're not trying to limit that. Right. But if you do. If the. If the Lord has been indeed great to you and blessed you, man, what a 16 bucks. Like it for it to be the.

[Morgan]

Time frame of thanksgiving and seizing, forgiving.

[Martin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

And the phrase that comes to mind is, by the grace of God. There I go.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Folks, this could happen to you.

[Martin]

And again, 1 in 70,000 sounds like a long shot, but it's. When you start looking at a world that's got however many billions of people on it, that's a lot more common than you think it is. You start doing the math on it, and it's a little more.

[Godwin]

With Carter, we've got a lot of those. One in thirty thousand, one in a hundred thousand one. And I'm like, boys, we're really. We got to get some lottery tickets because we're doing pretty good at this odds thing. And that's because it affects way more people than you think. And there's a lot of things. But. And it could start right here with Lydia. And this could be a thing that, you know, we look back at the 20s, and there was diseases that people worried about. We don't even care anymore. Death could be what this is. And it could start right here with her.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

So you got a chance to be a part of that. And to me, that's cool, man.

[Martin]

That's cool. Yeah, that.

[Morgan]

That's like history.

[Martin]

That's rewriting history, man, which is really. That's really stinking cool. And thank you all so much for coming on.

[Morgan]

Thank you for having us.

[Martin]

Well, thank you for being willing to share. Right.

[Morgan]

Like, let me call y' all out and y'.

[Martin]

All. Hey, call. But no, thank you all so much. Lydia, you're awesome, girl. Like, you are. You're awesome. You're exactly who God intended you to be. Young lady, you are. You are going to be a world changer. You already are a world changer.

[Godwin]

And you got the exact mom and dad that he intended you to have for sure.

[Martin]

Yes. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. And y', all, y' all keep fighting for your girls, and we're going to keep supporting in any which way that we can. Thank you all for tuning in to another episode of the duck call room, which is a different one, but if y' all figured out by now, we'll cry. That ain't no problem.

[Godwin]

We're willing to change it up. We'll get serious. We'll talk about platypuses, and then we'll try and save some kids.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Godwin]

What a great world we live in. Where that's possible.

[Martin]

It is. Look. And in the words of Hunter, let's give it up for Jesus Christ, man. Give it up for Jesus. Thank you all so much for joining us. We'll see y' all next time. Right here in the Duck call Room. We're going to drop a link down below that'll make this easy for giving. And go from. If you hear this, don't take the percentage from them. Let them raise their money, man. Like, some things are even bigger than y', all, bro. So we'll see y' all next time. Right here on the Duck call Room. We're out.
