Eddie
What are we going to talk about?
Phil
We're going to talk about that. One of the best actors in the building.
Eddie
Oh, okay. That'll passed away.
Phil
He has, like they say about Elvis has left the building. You know, I. Val Kilmore has left the earth.
Eddie
He's gone Iceman, y'all. Holiday.
Phil
He was one of the greats. Okay. Back then was I.
Brian
Like how I went with Iceman and you went with Doc Holliday.
Eddie
Oh, man of my childhood, man. Like I watch way more Tombstone than I did Top Gun.
Phil
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
You know, he was great in both of them. Oh, he was. He was one of those. That was sneaky good. No matter where he showed.
Rucker
Yeah, any. Any movie he was in. He was pretty good.
Brian
Also. Rucker's here today.
Eddie
Welcome back.
Brian
Welcome back to Rucker Rucker. Probably more of a Batman kind of fella.
Rucker
I. I will say Val Kilmer is as Batman was a part of my childhood and.
Phil
Well, see, I didn't. I didn't see that one. I missed that one somehow.
Rucker
According to the critics. You didn't miss much.
Brian
And the critics are wrong.
Phil
He wouldn't even talk about it.
Brian
Are we Batman Forever is not very good.
Rucker
Well, that wasn't.
Brian
Whoa.
Rucker
That wasn't Batman Forever.
Brian
Yes, it was.
Rucker
No.
Phil
With Jim Carrey.
Rucker
No, that wasn't. That was George Clooney.
Brian
Okay, yeah, whatever, man. I'm looking at it. Google.
Rucker
Oh, I had this all wrong in my mind. What was a good Batman?
Brian
Batman Forever's awesome.
Rucker
Yeah.
Brian
With Jim Carrey as the Riddler.
Rucker
Oh, but wait a minute. Was it Michael Keaton that was in the one with the Penguin with the Danny DeVito and the penguins. Eh. No, he didn't talk like that.
Brian
Batman.
Eddie
That's like an old mobster from a Bugs Bunny.
Brian
That is Batman Returns.
Rucker
Yeah.
Brian
Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito.
Rucker
Okay, see, I had him backwards in my mind. Yes, Batman Forever was good with Jim Carrey as the Riddler and Val Kilmer as Batman.
Brian
As Batman.
Rucker
But wait a minute. Who played the sec? Because the second one with. When you had Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze, was he Batman in that one too? Or was that Clooney?
Brian
That is Batman and Robin. The 90s were so weird. That was George Clooney as Batman.
Rucker
Okay. Oh, see, they just changed it up on us so much, we didn't know what.
Brian
They didn't give us the straight Christian Bale three times in a row.
Rucker
That's what I'm screaming.
Phil
George Clooney was Batman.
Rucker
Yeah, man. We unimpressed.
Phil
That was probably a bummer.
Rucker
Are you not a Clooney fan?
Phil
No.
Brian
I mean, that one was a bummer, though.
Eddie
What did Clooney do?
Phil
He. Oh, he did one good one.
Eddie
Oh, brother, where art thou oceans?
Phil
But hey, his. His sidekicks out, you know, done him.
Eddie
Yeah, well, you know, one of his.
Phil
Two guys made the movie.
Eddie
Well, the. The one sidekicks on that severance show. And. And that show, it's good for anybody that ain't watched it. And I'm sure some of our fans probably would disagree with that assessment.
Brian
Little language. And by little, there is a.
Eddie
There's a lot of.
Brian
A lot.
Eddie
Yeah, but yeah, let's kids go to bed. It's an adults only. Watch it with an open mind. Really good show.
Rucker
Watch it with an open.
Eddie
I'm just saying you're in.
Brian
You are in trouble when somebody goes watching.
Eddie
That's fine, man. It's a good show. Yeah, I mean, I kind of wish we walk in here and we'd have an innie and then we'd leave and we'd never know about it. That's cool. But we'd have a lot more to talk about. Some days I can be honest. But no. Yeah. When that guy showed up in that show, I texted. You didn't. I was like, I can only see.
Brian
I didn't even recognize him.
Rucker
Yeah, I have no idea what show y'all are even talking about.
Eddie
You need to get Apple tv. Check it out.
Brian
What actor are you talking about? The guy from our brother Arthur. John Turturro.
Hunter
Oh, I thought you guys were talking about George Clooney.
Brian
No, George. No, he's not in that show.
Eddie
No, Hunter. He's not in that. Yeah.
Brian
Hey, by the way. Hey, everybody. Hunter asked if we could be quiet today because his ears hurt.
Eddie
He has a double ear infection because the boy is never well.
Brian
What are you, a toddler who gets double ear infections at the age of 24?
Rucker
Hey, I had tubes put in my ear at the age of 34.
Eddie
Well, you also had a hole in your head.
Brian
Yeah, and you didn't know your birthday had been to prison, so you're fine.
Rucker
Yeah. Well, yeah, you make valid points.
Eddie
Hunter grew up on a farm.
Brian
Yeah.
Rucker
Wait a minute. Wasn't the farm in Calhoun? Where are you from again?
Hunter
I'm from Lake Phil's area.
Eddie
Yeah, he's down from Phil's.
Rucker
Okay.
Phil
His grandpa is a farmer.
Brian
Yeah, he's from a little place called Luna.
Hunter
No, like, I think these headphones, because I wear them all day to edit. I think they just trap everything in my ears, and then when the weather changes, it just throws everything off.
Brian
Do you not shower well?
Eddie
No.
Brian
Put some soap on your ears, man.
Rucker
How frequently do you use Q tips?
Hunter
Every time I shower.
Rucker
There's the problem. Wait, that's the problem? There's the problem.
Phil
You can't do that.
Eddie
You never heard the rule, don't shove nothing in your ear smaller than your elbow. Also maintenance. Don't shove nothing in your ear.
Hunter
I mean, I didn't know this was a rule.
Brian
You never put stuff in your ears.
Rucker
Q tip that. That much. That's unhealthy, dude.
Eddie
Now, quasi embarrassed. We wear the same shoes.
Brian
They do wear the same shoes.
Phil
You can get the doctor's gift from Walgreens.
Eddie
Yeah.
Rucker
Now, look, I don't know if a doctor would tell you this, but if you got.
Brian
You never put a Q tip in your ear.
Rucker
But not even that. Just think about it logically. If you got some earwax in your ears, it's gonna stop certain bacterias from getting in there.
Brian
And you're just shoving it. You're packing it all in there.
Rucker
Where do you keep your Q tips? Let me guess. In a drawer in your bathroom?
Brian
I mean, not in a drawer right next to.
Eddie
Oh, they're on the counter. No, that would make it worse.
Rucker
You ever flushed the toilet with your toilet seat up?
Brian
Poo particles everywhere, all over your Q tips.
Rucker
Now they're in your ear. Now you have a double ear infection.
Brian
Yep.
Hunter
Well, Friday was really weird. I had to call in.
Brian
Shocker.
Hunter
No, like, apparently fluid built up behind my ear, threw off my equilibrium, and I thought I was driving drunk on my way in.
Rucker
Oh, dude, I lived, like, 12 years like that.
Eddie
Except he was Actually drunk.
Rucker
Well, I mean, there was times I was.
Brian
Hold on, hold on, hold on. You had to call in because your ears were messed up and it threw off your equilibrium.
Rucker
Yeah, that's a typical Tuesday for me back in the day.
Eddie
I will say sometimes when I get fluid on my ears, I'll like shake my head just to see how it feels. It's kind of. That's kind of fun.
Rucker
Yeah, but you like why it gives.
Eddie
You a little quick buzz whenever.
Rucker
You kind of like me. You like a good time?
Eddie
Yeah. Well, I mean, just. It's kind of the same equilibrium effect of drinking. Or perhaps some other recreational.
Brian
Carter, because he.
Rucker
Recreational?
Brian
Yeah, Carter's the only one in my family with ear struggles.
Eddie
Oh, no, I had them. My boys got tubes. All the things.
Rucker
I'm just.
Brian
Hunter amazes me. He's such an interesting sickly cat.
Rucker
Is he sickly a lot?
Phil
Yeah.
Eddie
You better get. When are you flying out east?
Hunter
Thursday before Easter.
Rucker
Wait a minute. Is that the girlfriend thing?
Hunter
Yeah.
Brian
Yeah, buddy.
Eddie
Oh, you're taking a crib, buddy.
Brian
Your ear's gonna hurt.
Eddie
You better get that cleared up before you get there.
Hunter
Yeah. No, normally I have to take gum with me so that way I can like just chew it, keep my ears.
Brian
Have you tried vitamins?
Eddie
All day would be.
Brian
We have many sponsors that Mike could help with.
Rucker
What is vitamins going to do?
Eddie
Just make you a healthier individual overall. Keep your immune system sharpened.
Brian
I've never seen a vitamin I didn't want. Also, what are vitamins?
Rucker
But you. You're a kid that grew up on Flintstone vitamins.
Brian
No, I had probably something from Fox News infomercials. I actually remember when my papa was making us all drink and it was. It was the thing back then.
Rucker
Yeah.
Brian
I'm sure if they were still around, I'd be reading the ad for them here in about two minutes.
Rucker
Well, that's what I was. Yeah.
Eddie
Tang.
Rucker
No. What was it?
Brian
Anyways. But my point is you need vitamins. I think that's what Hunter needs.
Eddie
Do you have a. Do you have a fairly balanced diet or you just kind of.
Brian
That's chicken nuggets and Mac and cheese.
Rucker
What is the picture of eating like my teenager?
Brian
I just. Whenever I think of Hunter at home alone, doing whatever he gets to do, which I'm not knocking you. It sounds awesome.
Rucker
But I picture that is exactly what.
Brian
Carter would be doing if I just let car.
Eddie
Many times a week. Do you have cereal for dinner like.
Hunter
Maybe once a month.
Eddie
Do a month.
Rucker
But that's still.
Brian
How many Hot Pockets do you eat?
Hunter
Not many. I've. I've been trying to eat healthier within the last two years and I've been doing a pretty good job.
Rucker
Yeah, either you do or you don't. There's no such thing as try.
Brian
Oh, wow. Okay, everybody stones back in the building.
Hunter
Well, I think that was a Yoda quote.
Rucker
No, no, no, no. He's something I used to do with my clients.
Brian
That. That you. You went full Yoda on your.
Rucker
No, like I would rehab.
Eddie
Like.
Rucker
So look there. These are. These are people inside of a treatment facility. Right. And I would just randomly throw them. My. My car keys. I'd be like, here, take these. And then they're like, what? And then I'd be like, try to drop them. And then they like drop them. And you're like, no, no, no, you just dropped them. Pick them up. And then I'd be like, try to drop them. And then they don't drop them. And you're like, no, see, you're just not dropping them. And I'll be like, try to drop them. They're like, what do you want me to do? I'm like, either you're going to drop them or you're not. There is no such thing as try.
Brian
Grandmaster Yoda.

Copyright Brian Rucker 2016.
Brian
20.
Eddie
That's almost. We almost a 10 year anniversary. Golly. Unbelievable.
Brian
I feel like I would have got up and walked out.
Rucker
Not out of my group.
Eddie
As a recovery person, I'm surprised somebody didn't chunk them at you.
Phil
I'll fix ISO this one. The deal about how you know you're not. You're not doing nothing.
Eddie
Yeah.
Rucker
Yeah. Like you sitting around here talking about what you going to try to do.
Phil
Yeah.
Rucker
I need you to put some action behind what you talking about?
Brian
Are you talking about. What was he trying to say?
Eddie
I mean, I was trying to eat healthy.
Brian
Yeah.
Phil
He came back. He don't make a decision.
Hunter
Look, I said I was trying. I am eating healthier.
Rucker
Thank you.
Eddie
There you go.
Brian
That's what I'm.
Eddie
He's asking you to change your mindsets.
Rucker
All these we're breaking mental prisons today, Hunter. All right.
Hunter
I made a smoothie for dinner the other day.
Rucker
Dude. No, that's not what.
Eddie
You're too young.
Rucker
That is not people, they have taught you that smoothies are healthier. That's not true.
Phil
That's not true. That's right. That's a bald faced lie.
Eddie
Lot of sugar in them.
Rucker
Yeah. Eat a banana and then drink a banana. See what I'm telling you?
Eddie
Look, if you're at home. Odds are we all have that one closet in there somewhere. You probably have a box of home videos, right? And you're like, man, what am I ever going to do with these things?

Brian
You gotta. You gotta dial back to healthy eating.
Phil
Yes.
Brian
It's not really 70, 30, man. Make good decisions.
Eddie
I'm curious now to know what is your definition of healthy eating?
Brian
Well, we just found out it was a sugar bomb.
Hunter
Well, less sugar and icy, so carb.
Eddie
Avoidance, that's what I do.
Rucker
Sugar's the devil. We all know that.
Hunter
Except yesterday I made ramen with an egg and seaweed.
Rucker
No, no, no, no, no ramen.
Eddie
Let me tell you, ramen's not healthy.
Hunter
But it was also the only thing I ate that day.
Rucker
As somebody that lived off ramen, I can literally make anything you want out of ramen, okay?
Brian
A hamburger.
Rucker
I could make a ramen burger. In prison, we would make pizzas with trash bags. We could make burritos with chip bags. Man. I'll tell you, all I'm saying is they are not very healthy, okay?
Brian
The most creative human beings in the world are inmates.
Rucker
Oh, dude.
Eddie
What else you got to do?
Brian
Hey, come up with some wild stuff.
Eddie
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like the so. Huh. Interesting. Have you given keto a look?
Hunter
I want to. I wanted to, but my friends told me not to do it.
Rucker
Dude, don't listen to your friends.
Brian
Never listen to your friends.
Phil
They'll stare you down the path.
Brian
Have you got.
Eddie
Hold on. I was just curious.
Brian
You know what I want to do as a group?
Eddie
What?
Brian
We don't have a Brazilian steakhouse, and it has been a while since I've had the meat sweats. Have you ever been to a Brazilian steakhouse?
Rucker
Ooh, Fago de chow.
Eddie
Sigh. Would hate it.
Rucker
Oh, I love fago de chow.
Phil
Well, no, no, it ain't bad.
Eddie
Yeah, but what I'm saying is they ain't gonna serve you a piece of meat that's medium plus.
Phil
Like, well, no, no. Oh, yeah, they are. Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
Phil
They will.
Eddie
No, they ain't. There ain't a piece on that meat fork.
Phil
Oh, yeah. Because I've been there before. And I told the guy when he walked by, say, come here. I can look at it and find what I want.
Eddie
There you go.
Rucker
Yeah, yeah.
Phil
You know, I can look at a piece of meat cooked and find my medium plus.
Eddie
Yeah. Me, I just want them to drop the skewer. Well, back in the day, one of the highlights of my life was going to a McGoblin. I don't think God wants ever flipped that card over yet. They just eventually quit.
Brian
Me and Willie went to one One.
Eddie
Just like, nah, nah, bro. We ain't coming back.
Brian
Me and Willie, at that moment, probably, we were pushing five hondo together.
Eddie
Yeah, I can see that.
Brian
And we went to a Brazilian steakhouse, and it was.
Eddie
Which one did you go to?
Brian
Somewhere in New York.
Eddie
Oh. So probably not one of the. Not the Texas day. Brazil.
Brian
There were actual Brazilians there.
Eddie
I'll never forget. I was in.
Brian
And it was. It was a bad deal.
Eddie
We were in Fort Worth working something, me and some folks from Academy, and we asked the lady in our hotel, what is the best Mexican restaurant y'all got around here? Because we want, like, some authentic, you.
Rucker
Know, like, you know, you're in town.
Eddie
And I know I'm. We're in Fort Worth, which ain't really, like, the center for authentic, but you figure there's one, right?
Rucker
Mm.
Eddie
And a lady at the hotel said, oh, y'all gotta go try this place right over here. It's called Fugitive. It is the best. I was like, I ain't say nothing, but I'm like, a. It's Brazilian.
Rucker
Mm.
Eddie
B, ain't nothing about it Mexican.
Rucker
No, it's really not.
Eddie
It's a chain, to be fair. How much did they pay you to say that? Y'all. Does a hotel get a kickback off.
Rucker
The lady, you ask at the hotel, was she Mexican?
Eddie
She looked Hispanic.
Brian
Well, she could have been French and Indian for.
Rucker
That's what I'm saying. I mean, I technically look Hispanic. I mean.
Eddie
Yeah, well, sometimes it's. You fits for him.
Brian
Hold on.
Eddie
But I was just so perplexed. And, like, all of us look each.
Brian
Other, like, great suggest. You know what that means?
Eddie
There's not one.
Brian
That's where you needed to go.
Rucker
Yeah. I'll tell you my favorite thing at those Brazilian steakhouses, The grilled little cheeses that they serve with the honey. I almost go there for that. More than the actual state.
Eddie
I don't guess I've ever made it that far.
Rucker
Well, they do it at Fago.
Eddie
Oh, okay.
Brian
There's grilled little cheeses.
Rucker
There's little cheeses that they grill, and they put honey on it.
Brian
Tell me more.
Rucker
At Fago, I had a whole.
Brian
How do they make.
Rucker
It's apparently some kind of aged cheese that, if you're at Fago, which is a chain, is exclusive to Fargo.
Eddie
Oh.
Rucker
And they. They pretty much just grill the cheese and put honey on it. I mean, there's not that much scientific.
Phil
About it other than I think a Stone has got. He must been reading that. Or went there because he. He's got. Where he smoked. Jesus now.
Eddie
Oh, that's the time.
Rucker
That's a. That's.
Eddie
That's on social media everywhere. Stone being a new Instagram guy, getting all the. All the.
Phil
Well, hey, some algorithm.
Eddie
No, I know. Yeah. I. One of The. One of the greatest things you can make is take a block of.
Brian
Is it this?
Eddie
And smoke it.
Rucker
Yes. And that is it. Yes.
Eddie
I ain't ever had him.
Rucker
Oh, yeah. Those are next level. I promise.
Phil
It looks pretty good.
Rucker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Phil
Melt okay. Yeah, Yeah.
Rucker
I will drive Dallas right now.
Eddie
Oh, I'd eat that. Yeah.
Brian
I have season passes to Six Flags if you want to go.
Rucker
I grew up going to AstroWorld. Okay. That was the true Six Flags.
Brian
Yeah. They shut that one down for a reason, big dog.
Rucker
Yeah. You know why? Well, I don't want to. This is a family show. I mean, I just. I'm just saying, I get killed. I mean, I'll tell you, growing up in Houston, H town, hold it down, never play. Anyway, what I'm saying, like, they used to do the fright fest at AstroWorld, right? And it was like a Houston tradition that you go to AstroWorld on Halloween. And, you know, I'm saying if it pops off, it pops off. You know, we. We showing up. We showing up to cause havoc, you know?
Brian
Oh, y'all were all being hoodlums at.
Eddie
The AstroWorld on All Hallows Eve.
Rucker
I mean.
Eddie
Yeah, that's on brand.
Brian
Yeah. Me and my church youth group used to take the van over Six Flags over Texas every summer.
Eddie
Rucker, how you. Where are we at on the baby clock?
Rucker
It's due in August. Oh, it's a boy, by the way.
Phil
It's a boy.
Rucker
It's a boy. So what?
Brian
That was the weakest gender reveal I've ever been to, and I appreciate it.
Eddie
No, you've been to one worse.
Brian
No, I'm just saying. I'm saying that one didn't have a lot of oomph and pop and circumstance.
Eddie
Exactly.
Brian
And then I said, and I appreciate it.
Rucker
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Brian
Ain't nothing more somebody being like, hey, can you ruin your day to see what I'm having?
Eddie
No.
Brian
Put it on Facebook like we did 20 years ago. Sorry. It's a pet peeve of mine.
Rucker
Yeah, well, we did do a gender reveal. Put it on Facebook.
Brian
Did you invite me?
Rucker
No.
Brian
You didn't do a party?
Rucker
No. Well, there was a party, but my wife wanted to keep it real small and intimate, and I was like, I genuinely mean this.
Brian
Thank you for not inviting me. Yeah, well, I didn't want to go also.
Eddie
Thank you. Yeah, I will. I will echo that sentiment.
Rucker
Yeah. Yeah. So. Because you know me, if it's up to me, if we're gonna have a party, we're gonna have a party. Party.
Eddie
I'm not but it looks like we all knew it since we're all wearing blue. Like, congratulations, Rucker, you're having a boy.
Brian
He announced he was having a baby on accident last time he was here.
Rucker
Yeah, it happens.
Brian
He didn't actually announce it, but.
Eddie
No, he never confirmed it, but.
Rucker
And now I alluded to it. I built suspense for. Everybody's just chomping at the bit.
Eddie
August. What time in August? Like, early or late August? Oh, no, you just remember August.
Rucker
Somebody's somebody. People have been asking me, oh, what day in August? I'm like, I don't know. I just know August got this thing on the.
Eddie
On a stamp shoot for the 26. That's all I'm saying.
Rucker
I think it's supposed to. We got early August. We need to.
Brian
We need to talk, son, about. Your wife is a delight. This is true. Everybody likes her way more than they like you. Everybody I've come across.
Rucker
Don't tell her that. I won't. Okay.
Brian
But a pregnant woman in West Monroe, Louisiana, in July, in August is going to be the scariest thing. And I know you've seen some scary stuff. There's nothing scarier than this.
Rucker
So this is one. A couple of things. Number one, she's not having morning sickness there. She's not.
Brian
Oh, that means it's going to be miserable at the end.
Rucker
Well, what it also means is that all of the side effects are psychological in mood. So basically, I mean, I'm telling you, I come home some days and I feel like I better watch Walk on Eggshells or you should start.
Brian
Right.
Eddie
I'll be back.
Brian
Get out of here. You. You. I used a pregnant lady that was forced to watch this by her husband. Just threw something at a tv. Yeah, well, are you saying that.
Eddie

Rucker
My wife has. She's an anger person.
Brian
She and Big Dave's group on Friday.
Rucker
Yeah.
Eddie
Is she really? No, the women's. I mean, you know, Rucker hang out there so much, I just figured that may have been where they met.
Rucker
So we met at church.
Eddie
Yeah, there you go.
Rucker
But now she's cool. I mean, really, she's handling it like a champ. You know What I mean?
Brian
72 degrees outside.
Rucker
Well, yeah. I mean, it's going to get. It'll get worse.
Brian
She ain't gained 40 pounds.
Rucker
Yeah, no, she's only gained, I think.
Eddie
Stop. There's no amount of humor that can make that okay. Stop.
Brian
She's going to and then it's going to be 104.
Eddie
She. She got. She. So she's still fairly early.
Brian
She gonna throw stuff at you.
Rucker
Yeah, she's like at 20, 20 weeks.
Eddie
She got any of them? We're craving things yet where, like, she only eats certain things.
Rucker
Not really. Not too much.
Eddie
I mean, she ain't on like that pickle bag or nothing.
Rucker
No.
Phil
What amazes me about that whole process, you know, is how the body makes room for all of that.
Eddie
Yeah. Until the end.
Phil
Yeah. Take that. Yeah.
Eddie
And then they're right.
Phil
She's got. She's got a stomach deal, y'all, that's wrapped around you just for miles. If you had to cut somebody open, you could run it out for a mile.
Rucker
Yeah.
Phil
And then you say, okay, you what? You're pregnant? Oh, well, yeah. Okay. And when you gave birth to it, how much did it weigh? 12 pounds. What in the world? How did the body do that? Because I'm looking and saying. Wait a minute. This is a. No, it blows my mind. It really does.
Brian
They have giant. Where Scott and Tracy giants.
Phil
Well, no, no, because I'm just. I'm just saying when you think about a woman having a baby, that's, you know, it's a miracle. Number one. Okay. Number two, for the body to move around and actually something can grow in there.
Rucker
Oh, yeah.
Phil
And get to 12 pounds without killing the lady.
Rucker
Now.
Phil
It's insane.
Eddie
I can't say nothing. Brittany had £14.
Phil
Well, no, no, that's what I'm saying.
Brian
We never even got there with any of them.
Phil
Where did all. What did the body do with all that other stuff that was already there?
Rucker
It's. Man, this again points to intelligent design.
Eddie
Yeah.
Phil
Well, no, no. Yeah.
Rucker
I mean, yeah.
Phil
There has to be a creator.
Rucker
Oh, absolutely.
Phil
Oh, no. Yeah. Because you can't look at that and say, okay. Oh, no, this just happened. No, no, it didn't, you idiot. This is of a scale of degree here, of microscopic. Just. It's so insanely perfect.
Brian
And just a microbe washed up on a beach.
Phil
Yeah. Yeah. And then one single sail jumped out of the ocean and stood up and. Hey, that makes me just want to knock you out because you're so stupid. Okay? Ron White has ruined me. You can't fix stupidity.
Rucker
Yeah.
Eddie
Not even with duct tape.
Phil
No, you can't. Okay. But I look at the birth of a child.
Brian
It's wild.
Phil
It's just.
Eddie
No, it's actually a 12 pounder ruck. Are you going to watch?
Rucker
Oh, yeah, I'm in there.
Phil
This kid would never make It.
Rucker
Well, you know, with my. With Noah, you. I mean, so Noah, he. It. Now, mind you, it's been 15 years since I've done this, and back then, I was really high, just in general, so, like, you know, it was like. I don't remember a lot of the. The process, but I do remember being.
Brian
Pause, pause.
Eddie
Hey, Hunter. Hunter.
Phil
I love it.
Eddie
Clip that for Noah's therapist.
Rucker
Yeah.
Phil
Oh, no, I don't know. Okay. Truth at its best.
Brian
People in recovery are very honest.
Phil
Yeah.
Rucker
No, man. Rigorous honesty.
Phil
Oh, man.
Brian
Rigorous honesty.
Rucker
And you. You.
Brian
You're not.
Phil
Remember, I was young back them days. And hey, most of the time I was up here.
Eddie
How old? You would know.
Rucker
Oh, goodness. So 20.
Eddie
20, 20.
Brian
Running the streets.
Rucker
Well, you know, I was really trying to dial it in. You know, I was trying to live this life that at the time, I just was not mentally prepared for. I mean, really.
Phil
Well, most of us are not that way anyway. Well, yeah, you said it truthfully.
Rucker
And so me and his mom were kind of just all over the place, running around, you know, stay in place to play because we didn't have a lot of stability. But I mean, it. I do remember going to the hospital and being like, you were in the.
Brian
Room when Noah was born.
Rucker
Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Matter of fact, we didn't know what we were going to name. We couldn't come up with a name. And I said, well, when he pops out, I'll know what the naming. And so that was the plan.
Eddie
You'll know of the name.
Rucker
Yeah, like, I'll see and be like.
Eddie
You really were moment.
Phil
We'll seize him and they'll know.
Rucker
I'll see him and I'll know like.
Phil
And I'll know.
Rucker
Noah was one of the options. There was no other.
Brian
Hello.
Phil
Hey.
Brian
Oh, no.
Rucker
Yeah, Noah.
Phil
Don't worry about it, boys. I got this covered. The moment I see him pop out, I'll know what the name is.
Rucker
That's exactly. Yeah. And it worked out great. He looks like a Noah. I mean, it fits him well.
Phil
Hey, there you go.
Eddie
Why? Has he got a boat?
Rucker
No, he ain't got a boat.
Brian
I mean, very large one, humongous white beard, and he's 500 years old.
Rucker
Nah, but, you know, some names just fit people. You know what I mean?
Brian
Like, no, it. I'm gonna. I will. I will agree.
Eddie
I'll agree. You're way more rucker than you are Brian.
Brian
He's way more of a Noah.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rucker
But that's, you know, it's my firstborn son, so he's the legacy, you know? He'll carry on the torch, and I feel confident about that.
Eddie
Well, I hope it's the one you gathered later in life, for your sake.
Rucker
Well, that's why he's at ocs. We're changing. We're breaking generational chains here.
Eddie
Well, he's at OCS and not oc, so that's a good start.
Rucker
Oh, man, we're starting real good.
Eddie
Yeah. What, y'all got a name for this one yet? You want to announce that here, too?
Rucker
Yeah, I will, because you know what? My wife would be upset if I was asked that question and didn't answer it. However, I don't think she really watches these, especially whenever I'm on it.
Brian
But hold on. Do you all have a name?
Rucker
Yep.
Eddie
Yeah.
Rucker
Mm. Yep.
Brian
Please be John David. Go ahead. It's a Grant.
Rucker
What? No, no, it's. It's Ian, but spelled E, A N, N, Ian, E, A, N, N, Ian.
Phil
Excuse me.
Brian
Why can't you spell it normal?
Phil
Well, because this is not normal.
Rucker
Well, okay, okay, okay. I'll tell the story.
Brian
That's I, A, N. So. So someone with a different name. Because I got two of them. I'm very pro. Just spell it right.
Rucker
Well, but that. That is a way to spell it. That is a way to spell it. Look it up. Google that on.
Brian
He's gonna be in the fifth grade, somebody's gonna be like Ann, and he's gonna. It's Ian. My mom and dad got clever.
Phil
Well, wait a minute. You said it was. What spell what?
Brian
A I N. A I, N. You.
Rucker
Have two first names. Let's get on that.
Brian
I hate it.
Eddie
My parent, he's technically got three.
Rucker
Yeah.
Brian
Ian, baby. Name, origin, and popularity. It does not rank high on the popularity.
Rucker
That's.
Brian
This again. Where that tracks with origin is Scottish. Other origins are Hebrew and Irish.
Rucker
That's right. Go to the.
Brian
The meaning is God is gracious.
Rucker
That's right, baby.
Brian
Resembling a bird.
Rucker
Huh? We fly like an eagle, baby.
Phil
Hey, we got one boat. Perfect.
Eddie
You sure are a sturdy eagle.
Phil
You got one boat person.
Eddie
And then we got a Way more like a mallard drake than you are eagle.
Brian
No, no, no, no. He was more like one of them penguins. Emperor penguins. You can't see their ankles.
Eddie
I thought you gonna say a coot.
Rucker
Nah. Well, you know all I'm saying.
Brian
I actually do think that's the way you spell Ian. If you're in Scotland.
Eddie
That's the way they say it.
Rucker
Well, there's no.
Eddie
I don't know if that's they got two, they got two ends on the end of it over.
Rucker
But it means God is gracious. There it is. And that's what, that's where at?
Eddie
You know, I still the boy looked at you and said, why can't you spell it right that well?
Brian
So I have a thing for names because I, I, I'm very passionate about the fact that if you're gonna call a child something and you're calling him Ian, right?
Rucker
Yeah, yeah.
Brian
His name's not and his name's Ian. It means God is gracious and we're gonna call him Jake. And I'm like what the heck? I, I'm very passionate. Whatever you're going to call the kid, just put it in the first name blank on the birth certificate. Just all of it. If you're going to call him John David Jingle Hammer Smith, put all of that in the first name blank. Whatever it is, you put it in the first name blank.
Eddie
You just brought it up. You got a kid with an interesting name. Where did Ben's come from?
Rucker
Mercedes Benz. Super.
Brian
I don't know. We did it to him too. I apologize. Ben.
Rucker
That's what I'm saying. You just came up with names.
Brian
There ain't no minute.
Rucker
Didn't you name Carter after a Lil Wayne album?
Brian
All I'm saying is they should hold on to their teenage daughters when it gets over. But no, we didn't name. Well, all of Lil Wayne's albums are the Carter.
Rucker
Well, that's what I'm saying. I thought that was that, not you. I thought that's how Carter's name came up.
Brian
It's not. But that is a fun song to sing. This is the Carter.
Rucker
Hey, Mr. Carter.
Brian
Hello.
Eddie
Look, if we've learned one thing from Si, it's that good quality rest is so important to your overall health. Look at him. Thriving here is because of the mattress I sleep on which is a Helix Helix sleep mattress. Right. Sleeping on cloud made specifically for me for silence.
Brian
I took a quiz and said I'm a 76 year old man who sleeps like this.
Eddie
Yeah.
Phil
Everywhere. All over the.
Eddie
How do you sleep? Sow on your back side. You're a side guy.
Phil
I flip flop all over the bed. I'm like a fish out of water when I'm in a match.
Brian
Is that good?
Eddie
Each one of them is your own. You just get on there. Take a super simple quiz. Kade, you, you may need a new mattress. When you get a new place, we can help you out. So yeah, that's the fun part is you get a Mattress made for you. Not a mattress made for somebody else that somebody's done laid on and then they put in the back of your truck. You know the other cool thing, Cage, you ain't got to go now. It. It shows up, it goes up to your door. I mean, we got them unashamed. Got them. Sadie's got one. They are seriously the best. Now Johnny D's mother in law is looking at adding another one.
Brian
She text me, she said, what's that code again? I said, man, we're not doing a good job. It's obviously duck.
Eddie
No, she just doesn't watch our show.
Brian
That's a good point.
Eddie
That's the. That's the real deal there. But look, if you tired of waking up with backaches, back pains, body aches, stiff muscles, all the things you owe it to yourself to try a Helix mattress. One that's built just for you. And with as much as we travel, the. You don't realize how much you miss your bed till you spend a lot of nights and crappy ones. Hotels ain't got helixes, I can tell you that right now. And then Motel certainly don't have he. All you got to do is order online, ship straight to your door, go to helix sleep.com/duck for 20% off site wide. That's helix sleep.com/ducker for 20% off site wide. Helix sleep.com/.
Rucker
You know how we got there is because I was really hoping for a girl. Just because I felt like having a girl would be good for my development as like a man. Like, I think girl dad.
Brian
You wanted to be a girl dad.
Rucker
Yeah. Yeah, I wanted to be a girl dad. I've already got a boy. You know, that's what Martin's hoping.
Brian
His next one's a girl.
Rucker
No. So. But.
Eddie
Pardon.
Brian
Should have seen that.
Eddie
Look, if Martin has the next one, we're gonna have some explaining to do. We gone. We gonna have to go. We're gonna have to go.
Brian
Call your buddy Clay.
Eddie
We're gonna have to do some figuring out on some things.
Brian
Yeah, snip, snap.
Rucker
But can you reverse the. The freeze off? You got the freeze off.
Brian
You can reverse anything.
Eddie
I didn't.
Brian
It's 2020.
Eddie
Nothing felt cold.
Rucker
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Something smelled hot. But nothing felt cold.
Brian
It smelled hot. It sizzled like it was.
Eddie
It sizzled like it was hot. But I guess it could have been so cold it burned you. I don't know, but it smelled like whenever you se after you can.
Brian
It wasn't the smell that got me. It was A little puff of smoke I saw going up in there.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Rucker
Wait a minute. Is that real or is that not a joke?
Eddie
It looked like.
Brian
Why would I joke about.
Eddie
No, it looked like a little signal fire down there. Like smoke.
Rucker
Sending up smoke signals, baby.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. We were saying, it's over. The war is over.
Rucker
If you ever.
Phil
Yeah, the Apaches are leaving.
Eddie
They gone.
Brian
If you ever get to a point in life and you're like, yep, I'm into that. It is a wild experience.
Rucker
Yeah, man.
Eddie
And 10 out of 10 recommend I'd.
Brian
Do it again tomorrow. I just ran across my five year anniversary.
Phil
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Rucker
How do we always get on this subject? I feel like we've had this conversation.
Phil
We have.
Brian
Very pro.
Eddie
Johnny D brought up me having a third child, so.
Rucker
Right.
Eddie
My wife is apparently very pro that right now. And I'm like, what do you mean? To find somebody else?
Brian
Whoa, hold on.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Brian
This is brand new information to me.
Rucker
She's having the baby.
Eddie
She kept a kid the other day.
Brian
I'm aware.
Eddie
Yeah. At which point I was there for about eight minutes and I texted the girl's mom, said, are you really coming to get your kid? Like, because she. She can't stay here because three of them is too much.
Rucker
Yeah.
Eddie
I don't know how y'all do it and how y'all have done it. I don't. I mean, one day at a time now, I guess if there was perhaps a little bit larger spacing than a.
Brian
Year now that doesn't help. That makes it wor.
Rucker
That's what I'll say. You got two. They're the exact same age.
Eddie
And then she was younger than those. She was a year. She's a year younger than my boys.
Brian
That's an even fight. See, our fights are uneven at our house because Lottie wins them.
Eddie
Yeah, well, this girl would have won. This girl would have whooped Jackson for sure.
Phil
All about planning and management.
Rucker
Well, so this is what I did. I waited 15 years. So I got a built in babysitter. When this kid is Noah's age, Noah will be 30 and he could very well have a family and stuff. I just send the kid over to his house.
Brian
I had three kids by the time I was 30.
Rucker
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Eddie
I'm going to be 40 and I better be stuck at 2 or I'm going to be upset.
Brian
So she's. Oh, Brittany got the baby fever on you, huh? I know. I've been wondering if she told you because she told Alison. I'm just curious.
Eddie
I told her she was welcome to. With somebody else.
Phil
Yeah, that, that go. That goes around.
Rucker
No, yeah, yeah. I mean, they get on the kicks. They won't, you know, especially after.
Eddie
Well, right now, Right now they're reasonably trained and kind of cool, you know, so like you could get caught up and. Hey, let's do that part over again.
Rucker
You got to.
Phil
I saw they're in the fun stuff.
Eddie
That's exactly right.
Phil
No, I'm serious.
Rucker
I don't know if you could say that.
Brian
What do you think he said?
Rucker
I saw a newborn and he's like.
Phil
That reminds me, there's a lady. What Roan Chappell, I think is her name that, you know, got to talking about her friends that have kids that they're in Hell, she's anti kids, this lady, 27 years old, but she don't understand that's your greatest achievement as a human being is to become a mom and dad.
Brian
I love my kids. I just don't want anymore.
Eddie
Yeah.
Phil
And look, and it's one of the better times in your life, okay? Really? Because there is no rule book for raising kids. Okay? You ain't got a clue. Mom hadn't got a clue. And then bam, here you are with a kid.
Eddie
Yeah. They just send you home with them.
Rucker
Part of the problem today is too many people have tried to write rule books on being a parent.
Phil
No, there's. No, no.
Rucker
Everybody's trying to listen, read these books on how it's supposed to look, what it's supposed to be, and if I.
Eddie
Can make a recommendation on one book to at least look into. It's about the sleeping with the kids. That teaching them how to sleep on their own. That, that, that one.
Rucker
Does it work?
Phil
Well, no, no, because that's your whole job as a dad and mom. Is it? Hey, you raised them to be independent.
Rucker
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
So giving them the tools to do that via that kind of training was. I mean, that's a game changer for us because like at 7:30 at night, we go in there and we lay them suckers down and we don't hear nothing out of them till about 7:30 the next morning. Really?
Brian
Man.
Rucker
Look, we did that with Carter, but.
Brian
It involved a feeding tube. It's really easy to train them if you can just plug them in at night, feed them eight hours, wake up in the morning. What?
Eddie
You can't say stuff like that.
Rucker
Yeah, but look, I will.
Brian
I asked him to put one on bins. They did not think that was Funny. I was like, hey, we had this thing with Carter where we plugged him in and he just got eight hours of milk so we could sleep. I said, is it.
Eddie
Is that. Is that a thing?
Brian
They don't need it. I don't think it's funny.
Rucker
Well, I will say, I used. There's a lot of thing. Noah's really independent, and he does, and he always has been. And I think a lot of the tactics that I use may not necessarily be advised, but they work. You get what I'm saying?
Eddie
You don't need to admit to nothing. That'll get you in child court right now.
Rucker
Well, no, no, no.
Phil
They can't put me in one of the things. Hey, whatever works for you and the child.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, that worked for us. I'm just saying look into it, that's all.
Rucker
Oh, yeah, no, I will, I will.
Brian
But you. You get on some of that. Because my wife, former mom, Instagram influencer, whatever, back in the gap.
Eddie
Yeah. She's circling back now, though.
Brian
Getting a little back into it. Not much, but not like it used to be. But you say the wrong thing around a woman about how her kids sleep, they get mad. We just lock the door on our kids. You gonna be in there, so you might as well go to bed.
Rucker
That's what I'm saying.
Brian
They come try and get in my bed, I say, no, this is my bed.
Phil
When you did that, took me back to the Duck Dynasty show was going on. We was at an event, and we're all there, and we're all sitting in chairs. Well, this good looking woman walks up and sits down in Jason Robertson's lap.
Brian
I hissed. And he immediately, oh, no, no, no.
Phil
Look, look.
Brian
That's what he's saying, y'all.
Phil
Hilarious. Cause when you went, yo, the only thing I heard was when she sat down is Missy's claws going. Because all you could hear was click, you know? And I said, run. She thinks I claw you, but to.
Brian
Be fair, if someone were to sit in Martin's lap like that, I don't think you'd hear the claws come out as much as you'd hear like a baseball bat.
Eddie
No, you just hear. You just hear her head that off the floor. Yeah, of course, this day, maybe not. I mean, she's probably me, too. But Brittany.
Brian
Brittany hit you with a club is all. Ain't no scratching.
Eddie
She a hillbilly now. You gotta watch her.
Phil
Hey, look, don't talk your mouth to a woman like that yet.
Rucker
Why not?
Phil
I help you pick her out.
Eddie
I guarantee you she's good to go. Oh, she is. But she tough.

Phil
See?
Eddie
Oh, man alive. Lord have mercy. How did we get here? So August baby circling back. Yeah, I'm just trying to recoup.
Phil
And it's a boy.
Rucker
It's a boy.
Brian
Oh, good.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brian
Oh, and its name is Ian.
Eddie
Ian.
Brian
Not how you think you'd spell it.
Rucker
Ian.
Eddie
Yeah, Ian. Well, the E. How'd you.
Brian
I.
Eddie
Okay, I would. I do want to circle back to the name. Did you, like, find name in Hebrew and you went with that, or was this just like a Google search?
Rucker
No, so she had a.
Brian
What's the middle name? We never got that either.
Rucker
DeWitt.
Eddie
Oh, I thought it was the second end.
Brian
The wit. DeWitt family name.
Rucker
Yeah. So Noah is Noah DeWitt. I'm Brian DeWitt. And we've got the whip. That's what she wanted. She thought it was cool. She. So it's our child. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I ain't gonna argue with it. Like.
Eddie
Like.
Rucker
No. So. So hold on.
Brian
Do you know what DeWitt means?
Rucker
I don't want to know.
Brian
The white one can't make it up.
Eddie
You may have been misnamed. Rucker.
Brian
Man, he is French and Indian.
Rucker
I told you.
Brian
He's the white one. Brian. The white one. Rucker.
Eddie
You didn't have to tell them it was a white one when they spelled the name E A, N, E. Enough.
Brian
This has been one of my favorites. It took us a second, but we got going.
Eddie
Oh, freaking.
Rucker
So the name. All right, all right. So here's the name story. Okay? So she Had a brother that unfortunately passed away. Little brother. And he passed away. He was 15 years old and his name started with an E. And so there you go. And so she wanted a name that started with an E. And a lot of the E names I wasn't really jiving with. Yeah, like I couldn't really.
Brian
I was thinking of. But Edgar DeWitt actually sounds kind of cool. Well, so then you said, what if we just take an I name and put an E in front of it?
Rucker
