Oh, such a clutch off season pickup, Dave. I was worried we'd bring back the same team. I meant those blackout motorized shades. Lines.com made it crazy affordable to replace our old blinds. Hard to install. No, it's easy. I installed these and then got some from my mom. She talked to a design consultant for free and scheduled a professional measure and install hall of fame, son. They're the number one online retailer of custom window coverings in the world. Blinds.com is the goat. Visit blinds.com now for up to 45% off site wide, plus a free professional measure.

Present.

[C]

Yeah.

He never did stop, and he's never going to.

That's right now. Hey, this is a podcast here, boys.

[C]

By. Anyway, Rucker, welcome back. It's been a minute since you've been here.

[D]

Yeah, it has been a while.

[C]

What's new in your world?

[B]

Well, okay.

[D]

Baby's four months old now.

[C]

There you go.

[B]

How's that going?

[D]

Oh, it's going great.

[A]

Baby's only four months old.

[D]

I know.

[A]

You had it like two years ago.

[D]

Nope, four months ago.

[B]

Really?

[C]

For real?

[B]

Just a little while ago.

[A]

Feels like forever.

[C]

It does feel like it's been a minute.

[D]

Yeah, right.

[C]

Wasn't in August.

[A]

That kid should be wiping its own butt by now.

[D]

It'll be five months on the 20th.

[C]

Oh, so let's round. That's five. Yeah, there you go.

[D]

You know, but you know, life's good. Everything's great. Noah got him a Nissan's Sentra for Christmas.

[A]

So now a Nissan sentra.

[D]

Oh, yeah. 20, 19, 100,000 miles.

[B]

There you go.

[C]

That's good.

[D]

Perfect. First car.

[A]

Is he driving?

[D]

Yup.

[C]

Do you have a licensed driver?

[D]

Well, he'll have his license next month, technically, but he's driving us and we're getting him acquainted with the Nissan.

[A]

The Nissan.

[B]

You know, chauffeur.

[A]

Yeah, that car you had when you worked here and you flipped it over and didn't have a driver's license.

[D]

And we're driving all around town. Jeep Patriot also got in a high speed chase in it. You could see the tire mark on the side of it.

[A]

You should have got him a Jeep Patriot. Well, just for old time's sake.

[D]

I mean, I was looking for a deal. Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

You know, kid ain't getting what he wants.

[B]

He's getting, hey, let's make a deal.

[A]

Okay, but.

[D]

Yeah, that Jeep, Patriot actually sold it in the parking lot, out of the parking lot here. I don't know if you remember that.

[C]

That's the only thing you sold in our parking lot.

[B]

Well.

[C]

That's the only thing you sold in the front parking lot, ain't it?

[D]

That's right. That's right.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Them papers on that. That. That Jeep, were that up to snuff either?

[D]

No, they were. The papers were good.

[C]

Plain title, I think.

[D]

I really don't remember. I didn't have a driver's license, but somehow I had the vehicle.

[A]

Well, they don't ask for proof of driver's license when you buy a car.

[D]

Sometimes they do.

[A]

They ask for insurance. You didn't have that either.

[D]

You got to have a license to get insurance.

[A]

How did you do all the things that you did?

[D]

Man, that is something that we will never know. I don't.

[C]

I mean, we got a pretty good idea.

[D]

I mean, look, if there was a way to cut a corner, bounce around a rule, break a law break, I did it. Hey. Okay.

[A]

It started off so innocent.

[B]

That was his game.

[D]

Breaking rules in Texas. It ain't about if you have a driver's license, is about who you can convince to insure you without one.

[A]

You had insurance?

[D]

I think so.

[B]

It's really. What it's really about is. Hey. Is the confidence you display in all areas.

[C]

He's working with that company. Shaq talks, for one.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Well, I'll say. I don't know if you remember this, but whenever we sat down and went over my budget about me having to pay my car note, was that in.

[A]

This room or was that.

[D]

No, that was in the conference.

[A]

I was in that room.

[D]

Yep, that was in that.

[A]

Where Unashamed is filmed.

[D]

Oh, yeah, filmed.

[A]

That was weird.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I just had a new voice turned.

[D]

Out from West Monroe.

[A]

Okay, go ahead, but look, so.

[D]

So when we sat down and I don't know if you recall this part, but when we were figuring out that the only way I was able to pay my car note was by selling pills with my grandma, you said. You said a couple of things. You weren't.

[A]

That wasn't excited about it, that, hey.

[D]

You'Re not supposed to do that, and.

[A]

I was like, that's against the rules for sure.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

And then the other thing is, I was telling you how if I didn't the car note, they would shut the vehicle off like it was a prepaid phone, no joke. They had an anti theft system on it. And if you didn't pay the car note, they would just.

[B]

Just turn it off, drive it.

[D]

Where do you.

[A]

What do you even purchase something like.

[D]

That from a sketchy car lot in Houston, Texas.

[C]

Okay, interesting. Did you get that same option for your son?

[D]

No.

[C]

Where you can just turn it off.

[D]

We're living differently now.

[A]

I would like to be able to just turn a car off.

[C]

I don't know, it kind of be fun, wouldn't it?

[A]

How do you get one?

[D]

Well, let me tell you how I found out I was in Odessa, Texas, painting hotel, that they were remodeling out there. And I didn't pay. I didn't pay the note because I was in Odessa, Texas. Didn't think it was a big deal, whatever. And. And I go to get in the jeep and drive to the store and it won't start. And I'm like, man, what is wrong with this thing? Pull the whole front clip off of it. I mean, I tore this thing apart. And then I remembered, I think that guy said if I didn't pay it off. So I called him and I said, hey, my car ain't running. Do y. Oh, yeah, we cut it off. When are you gonna make your payment?

[C]

Right now.

[D]

Yep, now I paid it and right now.

[A]

Then I had to start working again.

[D]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[A]

Living in the future, man.

[C]

You know, sometimes you take a bite out of something and you're immediately like, okay, that's. That's legit. This. We got to look into this more.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

But you know what's even better than that when you look at it and you know that, and that's the way I felt when I opened the first box of Tri Tails beef. Because Tri Tails is prime and upper choice beef from American cowboys and ranchers. And you will taste the difference the first time that you cook it. Their steaks are aged to perfection and rival any steak that you'd get at a restaurant or a steakhouse or anywhere. And I knew that when I took it out and saw the marbling in the meat, the New York strips and the fillets and the. The ribeyes.

[A]

Yeah, I was like, we cooked some.

[B]

Pretty good steaks for sigh.

[A]

Brought it filet mignon and hey, it was good.

[C]

So, hey.

[B]

Yeah, my wife threw out the. Just an old sorry looking cuttery. Yeah, I could take. I could have took that plastic fork and cut it. It was that high grade of beef.

[C]

You know what's super cool is tryls Is a family business. They're fifth generation family ranch. And that same family is still responsible for every box of meat that they ship straight to your family. Look, they're out there raising cattle, chasing calves and packing your order by hand. The beef is rich and tender and the marbling is off the charts. And military first responders, any of those kind of folks, you get a discount. You sign up for trails beef and tritels beef is the real deal. You're putting something on the table that reflects care, continuity and something worth passing down. That's what trails is all about. Go to tribe beef.com duck to learn more or order your first tryles box straight from their ranch to your door. That's t r y beef.com duck and you'll even get 10% off your first order. And they're throwing in some free meat for you. So go check it out. That's t r y beef.com duck.

[A]

Now I had to get my ceilings painted because my kids duct taped a bunch of stuff to the roof beside the stairs and made a swing.

[C]

Oh, okay. Oh, how'd that go?

[A]

Well, there's still some duct tape.

[C]

Can't reach it.

[A]

Well, no, I can reach it, but it, it tears stuff up. Duct tape sticks.

[C]

Yeah, that's good. That's good.

[B]

Anyway, many and multiple uses ain't no doubt. We put it on helicopter blades and.

[A]

No, you did not. No you didn't.

[C]

You did.

[A]

You put duck.

[B]

Hey, we call it 100 mile an hour tape because hey, them hueys and gunships, them babies get up there and get it, get after it.

[D]

And things are patched together with duct tape just laying people.

[A]

And the United States government fixed the blades of a. Look helicopter.

[D]

This was the seventies.

[B]

Hey, look, in a war zone it don't make no difference how you fix it. You just fix it.

[C]

But the duct tape was actively holding something together.

[B]

Oh no, no, no.

[A]

A helicopter blade.

[B]

It's on the blade.

[C]

Well, I understand, but like, are we.

[D]

Talking broken blades get broken?

[B]

Well, dick crack shot a hole in it.

[E]

Oh, crap.

[C]

Okay, okay, okay. But not like, not like it broke all the way off and we taped it back together. Not like the end fell off and we taped it back on.

[B]

Well, no, no.

[C]

Superficial, superficial.

[B]

That's in an extreme emergency.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

You know how good of a shot.

[B]

When you would use it? When you would use it that way? Yeah. Or extremely shot a shot in half. Well, we needed to fly. Hey, we're tape it back.

[A]

Crazy.

[B]

Get us back to the home base.

[A]

I googled it. Yeah, and somebody posted, 11 years ago today, I learned duct tape was used to repair roto blades on military helicopters during the Vietnam War. And somebody said, we called 100 mile an hour tape.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[A]

100. Hey, you people that went to Vietnam.

[C]

Doubting me, did you get the Internet?

[D]

Well, we have. I mean, so look.

[B]

[B]

Story.

[C]

That's true.

[B]

In other words, I throw in about 4,5% of ha ha ha.

[C]

Yeah. Creative license.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. To make it funny. To hold your attention.

[C]

That's interesting. I mean, did you ever do that? Like, were you one of the ones taping or not?

[B]

Well, I don't. Hey, I've used it for a lot of stuff.

[C]

Okay. I just.

[B]

Hey, I wasn't a mechanic.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Did you get in the helicopter that was held together by duct tape?

[B]

Well, no, no. I used to travel in the helicopter a lot that was held together by duct tape.

[A]

So you did.

[D]

So, yes. The answer to that is yes.

[A]

So you got in a helicopter, a helicopter that was duct taped.

[B]

Oh, my. Near had a heart attack in a helicopter because we're going over Long Bend, A bay in Saigon, and they opened up both.50 calibers on the side of this Chinook. And then the guy in the back jumps down and is laying down shooting his.45. And I'm over there going, lord, let me get through this. And I finally got enough nerve to look and see what they were shooting at. They were shooting at a stupid school of fish. And I said, you idiots like to make me have a heart attack, actually thinking I was in combat against the enemy and they will shoot back at us.

[C]

And they were.

[B]

Don't do that.

[C]

They were shooting fish.

[D]

They were shooting.

[B]

They were shooting a barrel of fish.

[C]

Not the livestock.

[A]

Why were they shooting fish?

[C]

Because you were in Vietnam.

[B]

Why not? We're in a war zone and we got all ammo in the world now. I mean, hey, shoot at something.

[D]

It's better than sitting on it.

[B]

As far as just sitting there and just boring.

[D]

I feel like if I was in the military, I would.

[A]

You wouldn't have made it.

[D]

I would appreciate that stage.

[C]

I want a live look, a duck out Messiah. He just said it. Shoot at something, he don't care. He ain't gonna sit there and not fire his weapon.

[A]

I went with Sal one time, and we never saw a Duck. But then that poor crow got about within a hondo and that sucker ate it.

[B]

Crows have a bad habit. When we come together, they die.

[A]

What lives around you? You've already threatened to kill my computer.

[B]

Well, hey, y', all.

[C]

I'm old.

[B]

Hey, that's true. I thought. That stuff's hard to get rid of, too.

[D]

It ain't easy to take that out.

[B]

Matter of fact, I don't know what this is going to cost me to get rid of what I got at the house.

[C]

Oh, you. Yeah, I was talking about the hot chocolate cup, but. Oh, yeah, I didn't know you just.

[B]

Got rid of that the other day.

[A]

Praise the Lord.

[B]

It had a mold growing about that deep in it.

[A]

Hunter wanted to save the cup.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I showed it to JD And JD did just what he did. Get away.

[A]

I don't do well.

[B]

I said, hey, it's just mole.

[C]

Yeah, just a little penicillin.

[B]

That's right. Yeah, and a little penicillin.

[A]

Smells good. Me, man. I don't like bad smells.

[C]

Oh, man, I didn't know you had mold at your house.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

In the roof. Where?

[B]

Yeah, everywhere. It's in the laundry room, for crying out loud.

[C]

Must had a leak at some.

[D]

Yeah, some moisture got in there.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Interesting. Well, we do live in moisture. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, Louisiana is known for moisture.

[C]

Yeah, this is one of them.

[D]

So what's the plan? Mold out the laundry room.

[B]

Who knows?

[C]

Get another side pad. Oh, yeah, we need to run that back. Get side and a side pad back on.

[B]

That's too little.

[C]

Huh?

[B]

That's too little.

[C]

Put three of them together, you'll be all right.

[B]

What? Oh, you guys put four or five of them still.

[A]

You want. What do you want?

[B]

What in the world's that?

[A]

It was. I was researching how the military. What all the military uses duct tape on it's. It's more than you'd think.

[B]

Oh, no.

[C]

What's the most shocking one after helicopter?

[A]

No, no, we're already there.

[D]

But it's got to be military grade duct tape because that's stuff you did at Walmart.

[B]

It. If you could have seen some of the stuff that our man in uniform flew, you would. You would. You wouldn't believe it. I. I'm serious.

[A]

I didn't believe you when you said you put.

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

Hold the plane.

[B]

I've seen a. A 10 warthog that should not have been flying.

[C]

But it was.

[B]

And it was.

[A]

Were you in it?

[B]

And it was still. And it was still functional and still kicking butt.

[C]

But if you think about it, you look on like them airplanes you get on at the airport. They got something that looks like duct tape on all the wings. Like they'll have little patches.

[B]

Don't put it past aviation.

[C]

I mean, it looks like duct tape. I don't know if that's what it probably is, but that's what, a mile.

[D]

An hour duct tape.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I like that time we took off and my man left his screwdriver on the wing. I was like, well, that's going to fall off at some point.

[D]

What?

[A]

No.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Well, hey, you. You can see it flipping something.

[A]

What if it hit something?

[C]

I'm assuming it fell off on the Runway or the tarmac at some point.

[A]

Well, then what if the next person ran over that?

[C]

Hey, I don't know. You ain't got the three wheels over duct tape, no screwdriver.

[D]

What's the longest you've been?

[B]

Oh, if he run over with a tire, he'd flat it.

[C]

He'd make it flat longest. Scotland was like seven hours or something. A long time to be an airplane. Next to John Goblin.

[D]

I ain't never been nervous to fly, but I am flying to Africa at the beginning of next month.

[C]

Yeah, they ain't got that bridge done yet.

[D]

That's a 12 hour flight from Philadelphia to Qatar.

[B]

You'll enjoy that, though.

[C]

Will I?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

What are you doing that for?

[D]

Train up some. Celebrate recovery leaders in Africa. We celebrate recovery is like popping off in Africa. That's all over the place, man.

[C]

Interesting.

[B]

I like to go to Africa. Just a safari. No killer. I don't want to shoot nothing. I just want to go see it all.

[C]

Be honest. You'd like. You'd like to watch something get killed like you'd like?

[B]

No, I'd rather go and just look at all the game that.

[C]

No, that's. But I'm talking about like sit on a river crossing with.

[A]

He don't want to build a beast.

[C]

And a crocodile just.

[B]

Oh, no. I would like to papa crocodile.

[A]

Oh, okay. Now we're killing.

[B]

All right.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. I mean but I just part.

[B]

I wouldn't do is what is. The ones that do do it do do one that do do it do do it. Hey, they weighed. Look, they shoot a big crocodile and he goes underwater in the river. All they get is a little stick. They go pick a limb and pop the water and go out and get the one that sunk.

[A]

Who's getting the crocodile that sunk?

[B]

The ones that bring the crocodiles back to the bank.

[A]

Why are they getting the crocodile?

[B]

Because they wanted to have it Bounced a buddy of mine down in South Texas, he's got the attic of his big hunting lodge. He left part of half of it open. And right at the front part of that hive is a 25 foot crocodile.

[A]

20. He shot 25.

[D]

25Ft.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

They. They exist. Google. Yeah, Google that.

[B]

Oh, it's unreal how big they are.

[D]

Great whites, crocodiles.

[C]

How are those two related?

[B]

What does that say? They are there.

[A]

The largest lots of tea measured. Living crocodile was around 20ft, which is still 25.

[B]

I mean, hey, that's the 5% I'm talking about.

[A]

That's 25%.

[B]

Oh, hey, but 5%. I said 25. It was 20.

[C]

[D]

Where I'm going in Africa, though it is on the Nile River.

[B]

Are you going to deny I've been in denial alone? I want to Talk. Hey, take a lot of pictures when you're out.

[A]

Where are you going?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Ginger.

[A]

You acted like you, you said that like Calhoun, like. I know where that is, Ginger.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

We're just heading over.

[D]

It's the mouth of the Nile. Matter of fact, the hotel is called Mouth of the Nile Hotel.

[A]

Mouth of the Niles in the ocean.

[D]

No.

[B]

You're fixing to be a man. A traveler of the world.

[D]

I know.

[A]

Have you ever left surprised that they.

[D]

Were going to let me out of the country?

[A]

That's what I was about to that. I mean, I have. I don't want to be rude about it.

[D]

No, no, no. I mean, look, it's all fair. It's public knowledge. Yeah. I mean, the fact that they gave me a passport.

[A]

They gave you?

[D]

Shocking. I didn't realize, like, I was seriously nervous because you don't know what fell through the cracks or what list you're on. If you lived a life like me.

[C]

Correct.

[D]

But they gave me a passport. I went up there. I did, you know.

[C]

Is Matt going with you?

[D]

No.

[C]

Just curious.

[B]

I couldn't do what you do.

[D]

Well, this is the first.

[B]

All these places. Yeah.

[A]

But I, I, he's never done what he's doing.

[D]

This is all new to me, you know.

[C]

How long was the flight to Vietnam?

[A]

Depends on how well that hold up.

[B]

We will way of Anchorage, Alaska. Because we landed in Anchorage.

[C]

Yeah. And then you hopped over from there.

[B]

And then we hopped over there. Okay. It's probably like 12 hours, so.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

There's a long flight.

[C]

That's too long being an airplane. Oh, you get first class?

[D]

No, no.

[C]

Lay flats.

[D]

Well, I think there's, I think like you can't go do stuff for Jesus and fly first class. It's kind of, I don't know. I mean, I guess you could.

[B]

Well, it's not in our.

[D]

But it's not in our budget.

[C]

Okay. There.

[B]

I look at it this way, you know, with Jesus your first class anyway.

[D]

That's right.

[C]

There you go.

[D]

That's right.

[B]

Friends.

[A]

As somebody who sat in first class and somebody who sat by the toilet, they were very different. Even if Jesus is with you, it's, it's way more comfortable.

[D]

I did, I did get an exit row.

[A]

That's good.

[D]

Well, because I feel more.

[C]

You got them long legs.

[D]

Well, I just want to know who's there because that person is responsible for this if everything goes awry.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Exit row. Guy needs to be able to.

[B]

Oh, no, you ain't right. Yeah.

[A]

That's what matters.

[B]

You're nice.

[A]

Worry about that we need a big. What are you gonna do?

[C]

Yeah, you need.

[A]

You just look at them and say yes. And they're like, I Recommend Taking that.

[C]

45 seconds to really refresh on the gospel real quick rather than worry about which way you're gonna throw that door.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I mean, you know, just one last refresher.

[A]

Oh, right.

[D]

Lord, I don't deserve it, but here I am.

[C]

Here I come. I'm coming, buddy.

[A]

I've never understood.

[C]

You already know.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

That exit row thing.

[E]

What?

[A]

I mean, how many times is the person in the exit row been like, yes, and then actually had to do something?

[C]

I hope not.

[A]

Besides that one guy in New York that had the movie about him that ran into all those birds.

[D]

Well, I was gonna say, the hope is that you don't have to do nothing about it. I mean, that's the.

[A]

But then they make you pay extra for an exit row, and you're the one with the responsibility of saving everybody.

[D]

Yeah. But you also get the comforts of being that person, which is extra leg room.

[A]

Why do you need extra leg room?

[D]

I don't need extra leg room. I just enjoy it.

[A]

How tall are you?

[D]

Just on my license or literally?

[A]

Yeah. Drew. Yes, on literally.

[D]

I don't know. I ain't measured myself in a while.

[A]

How tall are you on your license?

[D]

Five' eight. Liar.

[A]

You're five' six.

[B]

And he's really five' four.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Get up a do too.

[A]

I. I would call you five' seven.

[D]

I. I think I'm a solid five seven.

[A]

And you're a lot like size stories. You're 95% torso.

[D]

Yeah. That's accurate.

[A]

So why are you worried about leg room?

[D]

It's just about having more space, man. You never know what's gonna pop off on an airplane for 12 hours. There could be some unruly individual.

[B]

That's right.

[D]

That's hoping to, like. I mean, I need some space. You know what I mean?

[A]

You're sitting right beside two people still.

[D]

No, but I got Derek the spot right next to me, so.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

You know what I mean? Like, I organize this in a way to where if things get weird, you and Derek. I'm prepared. You're prepared.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

You know, with all the leg room.

[B]

That's his motto.

[D]

All the leg room.

[B]

Always be prepared.

[D]

Also had to find. So here's here is one issue on the way back is during the Super Bowl. So we'll literally be flying when the super bowl is happening.

[B]

Who's playing the Super Bowl? How would.

[D]

Hopefully the Houston Texans. They're Good.

[C]

They play tonight.

[D]

They play tonight. We got the number one defense in the league. Defense wins championships.

[B]

All right.

[D]

We're going to dispose of Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

[B]

Oh, that's who. Oh, you got to.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Okay, time out.

[B]

So, yeah.

[A]

So you're worried about, like, this whole thing. You're going to go to Africa and then it's all you're worried about.

[C]

You're going to Africa to share the gospel, but you're worried about missing the Super Bowl.

[A]

Okay, you said it. I was trying to get there, but I wanted to be nice.

[C]

Just so we're clear, I'd rather be in first class.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Well, so when you're working for the.

[D]

It's not that I'm necessarily worried about it, but I mean, if the Houston Texans are in the super bowl, you.

[A]

Know you'll be able to watch it, right?

[C]

Yeah. You can watch live tv.

[D]

No, I've already started figuring all that out.

[A]

Elon Musk has changed the world of planes.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You might do anything.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You'll have like DirecTV on that plane or something.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Depending. Philadelphia is what United are you flying? United States. American.

[D]

What's the same thing like Johnny D, if the Saints were in the super bowl while you're.

[A]

People in Africa could deal with it. I'm watching the Super.

[D]

That's what.

[A]

I'm joking. I'm joking.

[D]

That's what I'm saying.

[C]

Johnny D's bugging the flight the next day. Just so we're clear.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I'd already.

[B]

He's going to make.

[C]

He'd already figured that.

[A]

No, actually I stopped doing that.

[C]

Whenever you want to work for yourself.

[A]

No, no. Whenever. Well, I arranged the birth of a child around a football game one time.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I could be in attendance.

[D]

You get a lot of flack about that.

[A]

No, I don't, but that ref sure didn't throw that flag that day. And I was like, boy, this wasn't worth it. We're not going to the Super Bowl. So hold on. I'm trying to put 20 bucks on the Steelers right now because size so confident. Anytime.

[B]

Bucks will give me.

[D]

Yeah, for sure.

[B]

You're fixing to lose it now.

[C]

You.

[A]

You're pretty. Well, your track record is poor.

[B]

What do you mean by.

[A]

Every time you say something like that, it the opposite.

[D]

Yeah, but you're betting against the Houston Texans. Really? And that's not.

[C]

He's back.

[B]

You're betting against Trout.

[C]

Wow. He knows the quarterback.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

He's got a lot of time on his hands.

[C]

He does.

[B]

I Do have a lot of time.

[C]

The only thing he's been spot on on about them Indiana Hoosiers, him suckers are good, man. If you or somebody you know has.

[D]

A gambling problem, if you're single, I've.

[A]

Got the knives pulled up.

[D]

Can we put that at the bottom of the screen for all of our people, please?

[A]

Call right here or call Ramsy.

[B]

Hey, are you going? Hey, you know, Rucker, you going to go out on the Nile River?

[D]

Yeah, I ain't going. Look, look, let me tell you something.

[A]

Back to Africa.

[D]

Let me tell you something that they said. They said, okay, you're not really supposed to go out at night. I said, the first thing I'm doing is I'm walking to a corner store at night. But that's just me. Like I, I, anywhere I try, he's.

[B]

Gonna get to know the people boys I don't like.

[D]

What's the point of traveling somewhere and just staying confined to, like the areas.

[A]

That are safe living.

[B]

So you can watch super bowl on the plane. Crocodile laying on edge of the bank.

[C]

Rucker, I'd like to remind you of no less or no more than 20 minutes ago, you were talking about your child being 4 months old.

[D]

I know. I would love to see him grow.

[A]

Yeah, but not as much as he'd like to go to the corner store in Africa at night.

[C]

Well, the corner store in Cairo may not be where you, where are you going?

[A]

I can't find it.

[D]

Ginger.

[B]

Hey, maybe you'll do like Al did. Ginger, when, when, When Al went to Africa.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He went to some little town and they was walking in there and when they walked in the middle of it, it was a big pond. And guess what that big pond was? Full of crocodiles.

[D]

Good.

[B]

And I mean, hey, some big ones, you know, they come walking out in amongst the crowd.

[D]

Well, I do know where we're going. Doesn't actually have like concrete streets. It's all red dirt.

[A]

Hold on. It's not at the mouth of the Nile.

[D]

Yes, it is, Martin.

[A]

Where's the mouth of the night?

[B]

Who's going to, who's going to Africa?

[C]

Mediterranean somewhere, right? Don't it flow back up? It flows the other way. Right below the equator.

[D]

Well, it's called something of the Nile Queen. It's the. Where the Nile river starts.

[C]

Oh, that's the start of the headwaters of the Nile.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Mouth is that. You all know the end.

[A]

Yeah, he's.

[B]

I was.

[C]

You're at the beginning.

[A]

I'm on Google Maps over here. Searching all over the end of the Nile River.

[D]

That's the beginning of the Nile.

[A]

I got a long track to make.

[C]

That's a big one.

[D]

So wait a minute. You don't call the beginning of a river or the mouth?

[C]

No, the mouth is where it dumps out.

[A]

Oh.

[D]

So you learn something new every.

[A]

Did you think the mouth of the Mississippi river was in Minnesota?

[C]

Yeah, no, that's the headwaters.

[B]

That's the headwater.

[C]

Yeah, the mouth is. The mouth is where it goes.

[A]

So you're going all the way to Lake Victoria.

[B]

That's where it runs.

[D]

I'm from the projects, okay?

[A]

They got rivers in Houston.

[D]

Yeah, but we don't. I don't know the. The technical terminology.

[C]

I mean, is the Trinity really a river? I mean, it looked like a ditch.

[A]

It really is, you know, like San Antonio's riverwalk.

[B]

Oh, Son of town. Sony. Antonio's got a river and a beautiful river and the biggest big old cypress trees you ever want to see in your life.

[A]

Who does?

[B]

San Antonio.

[C]

San Antonio. The Colorado river, ain't it?

[A]

That ain't no river.

[B]

That's a dick. Hey, San Antonio's got a river that runs all through there.

[C]

A river runs through it?

[D]

Yeah. They have the river wall.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Not a river.

[C]

An empty road.

[B]

What do you mean it ain't a river?

[A]

It's not a river.

[D]

You can jump over it, but it is a river. I mean, there's parts of the Ouachita you could jump over.

[A]

No, there's not.

[D]

Guarantee it.

[B]

The Washita river, way across the washout.

[A]

Well, yeah, that's a river. At low time, we have ditches. They run right beside Walmart that are bigger than the San Antonio.

[C]

Look, we know in the United States there, there's always, and there has been for a long time, a debate about pro life, pro choice, all the things right. And sadly, since Roe was overturned, babies lives are at an even greater risk. But our friends over at Preborn are standing in the gap for babies and who are facing unplanned pregnancies. 67 million babies lives have been tragically ended through abortion since Roe. And this Sanctity of Life Month, we're honoring those lives. The abortion pill accounts for over 60% of all abortions and makes abortions available 24,7. But in the midst of this darkness, there is a light that shines. Preborn has rescued over 400,000 babies from abortion. And every day, on average, they rescue 200 or more babies. When a woman considering abortion comes to a Preborn Network clinic, she'll hear her baby's heartbeat and see her Precious baby on ultrasound. Instantly, her baby's chance at life is double. I just remember the feeling the first time you hear. You heard the heartbeat on the ultrasounds and everything in there, that that made this moment very real. That you knew this life was real, that. That there was a child growing inside my wife. And in fact, in mine, they were so synced up, There was two of them.

[A]

And the cool part about preborn is they're sharing the gospel with each woman who walks through their doors. And they're also providing support to them. So clothes, diapers, car seats, and even counseling for free for up to two years.

[C]

They're the ones out there being the hands and feet of Jesus. For just $28, the cost of a dinner, you can sponsor an ultrasound to introduce a mother to her baby for the first time. 100% of your donation will go towards saving babies. Will you help us? Just dial pound250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound250, baby. Or donate securely at preborn.com/doc. That's preborn.com/.

[D]

What is something? What?

[B]

What for?

[D]

To be classified as a river, it has to flow into the ocean. Is that correct?

[C]

No. There's lots of rivers that flow into other rivers. I'm sure it has to do with the amount of current or, you know.

[A]

The difference in a pond and a lake.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

What one bigger acreage, depth, extra.

[A]

Martin got it right.

[C]

Average depth.

[B]

Yep. That's the difference between a pond and a lake.

[D]

Well, that was a Martin question. So if you have a pond deep enough, you could call it a lake.

[B]

Correct.

[C]

Did you choose to?

[B]

Yeah. What if I got a bomb at bottomless pond?

[A]

What's a bottomless pond? Indiana Jones.

[B]

Bottomless Bondage. You just said you couldn't find the bottom of it.

[C]

He saw a Golden Corral commercial. No, he's on that Endless Chocolate.

[B]

No, a bottomless pond is. Pond. It don't have a bottom.

[C]

How.

[D]

Well, but it has to have one somewhere.

[A]

The ocean has a bottom. There's boats and stuff.

[B]

No, it don't. There's spots in the ocean that's there. It's no bottom.

[D]

Mariana Trench still has a bottom.

[A]

What? I'm.

[D]

I'm deepest part of the ocean, maybe.

[A]

What part of the ocean doesn't have a bottom?

[B]

The bottomless bottom. Gotcha. Gotcha.

[A]

Oh, man. I was actually. I was halfway believing him. Well, maybe.

[C]

What was the payoff?

[B]

No, no, look, I think it. I thought. I think this.

[A]

Are we about to go into conspiracy?

[D]

Psy might be the guy that thinks that the bottom of the oce. That's a new one.

[B]

Oh, I might know. I may come out.

[D]

Look, if y' all hadn't heard that one.

[B]

Look, if I. No, no. If I had a machine that I could breathe oxygen under, I could go in and. What is that? What is that? Trench.

[D]

Mariana Trench.

[B]

Mariana Trench.

[A]

I could go there and I would.

[B]

Come out on the other side of the world. Now, because it ain't got no bottom either.

[D]

Or it leads to space.

[B]

Right?

[D]

Hear me thinking. The conspiracy is that all these new.

[A]

I got a new conspiracy.

[D]

All these new species that they're finding in the Mariana Trench look like aliens.

[B]

Well, hey, here's the deal. That's true. This is size theory.

[C]

How do you know what an alien looks like?

[D]

Well, hadn't you seen E.T.

[B]

Here'S.

[A]

Look, I actually think Independence Day is a better representation question.

[D]

I don't disagree. I think there's several.

[B]

Welcome back question.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Why do I feel like I've been drinking?

[B]

I don't know. I. But it's.

[C]

That's where yalls conversation.

[B]

I don't know. But hey, whatever we're drinking is really good. Okay. But anyway, here's my purified drinking water. Here's my theory.

[C]

It ain't no canned White Russian.

[B]

How far does creation go?

[A]

What?

[C]

It's endless.

[B]

How far does creation go? This is just like that bottomless pond.

[A]

Are you saying that the Lord created everything so vast that it never ends? So we could also right now.

[B]

A time machine to the bottom. No, no. Look. Right now, if you had a time machine, you could go anywhere. Cause this, it's self sufficient. It never runs out of energy and all that.

[A]

You just got to go.

[B]

Energizer bunny. It just keeps going.

[D]

The time machine, it's not like the DeLorean back to the future. Correct.

[B]

Well, it's just like the energized money. It'll never run down. Well, here's the thing. That's why creation is. You could get in a time machine and live to be 500 years old. And you would be a child compared to what God has for you to see.

[D]

This is true. Mm. Mm.

[B]

Because it just goes on and on.

[D]

And on and on and on. Question.

[B]

Like there are galaxies out there. Okay. That no one but God himself has seen.

[C]

True.

[D]

Amen. Are we talking about eternity or are we talking about creation?

[B]

Both.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Because they're intertwined.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

There you go. Quick question, Jose.

[B]

With the Lord, they don't. They don't start or end.

[D]

I just realized we have a live Studio audience. And we have not talked about anything of substance.

[A]

I got you. I got. I got a new substance. Martin. I found a new conspiracy theory that really excites me.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

And gets me going.

[B]

Martin, hit me with your best shot.

[A]

How many people are on earth?

[C]

Oh, I don't remember that number.

[B]

I thought it was 40 billion.

[C]

It was at 6, 6 billion or something.

[B]

I thought it was 40 billion.

[A]

40 billion people.

[D]

I think the numbers around 7, 9, 9, 9 billion. Hunter knows.

[C]

I checked it a minute.

[B]

Why 9 billion?

[C]

Where?

[D]

Did you look it up or did you know?

[B]

This kid come up with 40 billion.

[A]

Well, it was like, I think I'm.

[B]

Looking into the Future.

[A]

It was 8 billion not long ago. 8.3 billion people is the estimate.

[B]

It's that 8.3 billion. Well, see, I. I'm looking in the future.

[A]

I'm out that.

[B]

It's 40 billion.

[A]

There ain't that many people here.

[B]

It's 40 billion the world. The future is going to be 40 billion.

[A]

It's a small world after all.

[B]

Oh, that's true.

[A]

There's not. There's not that many people.

[D]

People.

[A]

That's the new conspiracy. They're like, oh, there's a. There's a million people in that city. No, they're not.

[B]

I'm looking.

[A]

They're just inflating the numbers.

[D]

Okay. The new conspiracy is that there ain't that many people. So the numbers being. But those are the people that probably think we're in the Truman show also.

[A]

How can you be sure you're not.

[B]

Why are you saying there's not that many people?

[C]

I don't.

[A]

There's that many people.

[D]

I'm not saying I agree with a new thing number. Me Personally, I think 9 billion makes sense.

[A]

No, doesn't make any sense.

[B]

Have y' all that many people? As usual. Have you done the census?

[A]

Two thousand years ago, everybody lived around the same.

[B]

Have you done the census? Have you? Yeah, I got 40 billion in the future.

[A]

I don't trust.

[B]

Since this has been done, I don't.

[A]

Trust how many people there are. So it's a new thing.

[B]

I mean, prove me wrong.

[A]

You can't prove. Look, look at this current world population. 8,269,000,000. 553,700. 1, 2, 3, oh, 4, 5, 6. That they're just making stuff up.

[D]

But, well, so that is roughly.

[C]

I mean, how many people are here? United States, 300 something.

[B]

300. Wait a minute.

[C]

300, 330 million.

[A]

I took somewhere 340 million. 110,988, 389.

[C]

40 million. And we're pretty. We're pretty big.

[B]

I won't let you in on a little secret. That's the current guess.

[A]

That's a bad guess.

[B]

Well, I agree with you. That's why I said 40 billion.

[C]

It's hard to believe outside of The United States. 40 billion people.

[B]

Because you can't.

[A]

This place is crowded.

[D]

I'm still trying to understand how this is now a conversation of substance.

[B]

It is a sub.

[A]

Some girl that grew up in China got on the Internet and said, nah, nah, we're making that number up.

[D]

Well, she's wrong, Doc.

[A]

Y' all siding with the Chinese government?

[D]

Or is she a government worker?

[A]

No, she's not. Just a random person, y'.

[B]

All. For all of this, guesses that everybody's got.

[A]

Birds aren't real either.

[B]

Or drones.

[D]

No, no, What? That. That. I mean, hey, hey, I got my own guess.

[A]

What? You're just. But I'm saying that the population of the world is way less, and you're saying it's way more.

[B]

Yes, more.

[D]

As somebody that was once.

[B]

No one's taking a census. They don't know how.

[D]

As somebody that was once surveyed by state government agencies, I'll tell you, they do have some interesting tactics.

[A]

So, look, if you Google how many people were on Earth in 1900, it was 1.6 billion. So in 125 years, we just multiplied by eight.

[B]

You let some professor that's out of his mind to begin with tell you that guess, and you've gone with it, and you're.

[A]

You're quadrupling it, and I'm going backwards.

[B]

Oh, I'm doing.

[D]

I'm.

[B]

Hey, I'm all about the future. Okay, y' all hung up? In. In the past, it started with 1 billion. I'm talking now. We're up to 9.

[A]

No, it started with 2.

[B]

Well, hey, I will go the future and go 40 billion.

[A]

Then it went down to 8 real fast.

[C]

Hunter, are you bored yet? You won't come over here?

[D]

Yeah, come on, Hunter.

[C]

Because I think I've listened about all this. I can listen.

[A]

Martin, how many think are on Earth?

[C]

I think I'm swapping seats with Hunter.

[B]

Martin. Hey, come on up before you go.

[A]

Hey, More or less. Hey, it's that time of the year that you need a good sleep so you can crush all those New Year's goals you got.

[C]

They do touch, though. Yeah, but they're individual.

[A]

You are 78 years old.

[B]

Yeah, but they're individual.

[A]

Well, yeah, they're individual.

[D]

Yeah, they're not. They're not a coalition.

[A]

It's like, well, he's in an Arkansas.

[B]

Well, we're connected. Hunter, good luck, man.

[A]

I'm about to.

[B]

It's like math. It's like math. Y' all don't understand my math.

[A]

I don't understand it either. 100. Do you take it?

[B]

Don't make any difference how many numbers or how many letters you put in it. What grade is going to end up x equals 6.

[E]

I am in the 10th grade.

[A]

Okay, that's prime algebra.

[B]

I told you.

[A]

Hey, so what I want you to see right here is I need you to look inside. And then every time, remember, you need to study.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

You need to Stay in school. Although it worked out for him. He was very old.

[B]

This man is giving you good advice.

[D]

Yeah, no, you gotta stay in school.

[B]

I also gotta stay in school.

[D]

Did not make my life very difficult.

[B]

I mean, I totally agree that I wasted my whole time in school. You need to stay in it. And I. They'll tell you you're smarter than you really are.

[A]

What did you did.

[D]

You don't understand.

[B]

No, no, because I'm going to tell you because, hey, you know all the people that's got the PhDs behind their name. Yeah, they're a bunch of idiots too, but they'll tell you.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

This is great advice.

[A]

Smarter than.

[B]

Hey.

[A]

What brings you here?

[E]

Well, I just wanted to bring the family together and have good time.

[A]

All right. So y' all just kind of came down for a little vacation and ended up here in the duck call room learning why you should quit algebra.

[B]

That's right.

[E]

No, I think I'm a staying algebra.

[D]

There you go.

[C]

There we go.

[A]

I was just making sure that was a test.

[B]

He may understand and get something out of. Out of Boundsburg. I don't know.

[A]

There you go. Well, that's awesome, man. So what. What do you do back home?

[E]

Hunt fish.

[A]

Do you love every day? That's a Luke Bryan song. Sorry.

[B]

You love every day hunting fish and loving everything.

[A]

Have you heard that one?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You like it?

[B]

Yeah, it's pretty good.

[A]

So it's not a bad one. You say you're a hunter? Fisher.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

You're one of us.

[E]

I ride four wheelers.

[D]

Come on, man.

[B]

I look at on. What's your screen?

[A]

I've got to get a. Do I. I wish.

[B]

I wish I had a pet. I wish I had that pet right there.

[A]

This is what this. I'm not allowed to do anything in this.

[B]

Oh, no, no.

[A]

On my computer.

[B]

I want a pet up.

[A]

Yeah, you used to want a giraffe. You have any?

[B]

No, no. I want to ride a giraffe. That way I'd be up there on his horns and I could. I see everywhere. But I'd like to have that as a pet hunter.

[A]

If you had to ride a giraffe, would you ride it up at the head or on the back?

[E]

I'm riding it on its back.

[A]

There you go.

[D]

That's what makes sense.

[B]

No, you can't see nothing if you're on his back. Yeah, you can. You gotta. Hey, you gotta have. You gotta be right on with your thighs under his ears and hold on to them two horns he's got on top of his head. Yeah.

[E]

And then he leans over to take a water break.

[B]

You're gone that way, you're above everybody.

[A]

I like it.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

So what?

[B]

360.

[A]

So why do you. I pulled this elephant up when he was going to Africa a while ago.

[B]

I would love to have a big pet elephant.

[A]

Where are you gonna put it?

[B]

Hey, I. I won't put him nowhere. He's just be.

[A]

You're just gonna have a free range.

[B]

You don't push that boy around.

[A]

What kind of pets do you have?

[E]

I have four dogs. Chihuahua.

[B]

What kind?

[E]

It's a chihuahua.

[B]

That's a mean one. And a pit bull. They'll bite the fire at him.

[A]

A chihuahua, a pit bull, and.

[B]

Oh, that. Hey, pit bull. Hold on. He's like a turtle. Once he closes his mouth, he ain't ever gonna open it.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[B]

So you got a pit bull got you on by the ankle. The Chihuahua. He's grabbed a little of the. The Chihuahua.

[D]

The Chihuahua, yeah. You got your pit bull in a Chihuahua.

[B]

Hey, he's dog. He's half Hawaiian.

[D]

He's. I thought Chihuahuas were from Mexico.

[A]

Yeah, you learned that from Taco Bell commercials. What else you got?

[B]

Oh, wait, but think how cool it would be going into Walmart with a bull elephant behind you. And then. And the guy says, may I help you? I said, yeah, give me five tons of bananas.

[D]

I thought. I thought they ate peanuts.

[B]

No, I don't. I've never. I've never tried to feed Martin a week.

[A]

Martin's a biologist.

[B]

He.

[A]

Martin's over there with his hood on, trying to figure out what's going on in here.

[B]

Hey, Martin looks like a father of the. Of the convent.

[A]

You look like a monk.

[D]

We are completely off the rails. There is no.

[A]

I mean, we still don't know what the other dogs are. We're stuck on Chihuahua and pit bul. What else we got?

[B]

That's two bad ones.

[E]

We got a great pyramid and a.

[B]

Wait a minute. Wait, wait. A great what?

[E]

Pair of me. His name's Chester.

[B]

God. Jeez.

[A]

That's like them big white dogs.

[E]

Yeah, okay.

[D]

They're.

[B]

I thought that was a little bit.

[D]

That's a Pomeranian.

[B]

Okay, close.

[A]

What else we got? I don't know why I'm so interested in your pets. Because I thought size elephant might get along with them, but.

[B]

And he probably would let.

[E]

The final one is a lab mixed with a German shepherd.

[B]

Okay, okay. There's a good dog. He's got a Main street too, too, though.

[A]

This boy came all the way from. From Kentucky to see Us.

[B]

And you just got his Chihuahua talking.

[A]

Bad about his dogs. You don't talk bad about another man's dog.

[D]

Which one's. Which one? Which dog is the oldest?

[B]

That's only Labrador Retriever.

[E]

The true. I think the Chihuahua.

[A]

Do you like them all the dogs? Is there one you don't like that much?

[E]

No, not really.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

There, you see?

[B]

They're all good. I dated a girl that had a Chihuahua raise up saying they're Look. No, no. The reason I'm saying they're mean. Every time I'd go see her, that dog would be growling at me and trying to bite.

[A]

Well, Hunter, we're glad you came and you joined us today. Hunter's f. Family. Thanks for trying to understand what we were doing.

[D]

Thanks for being on the ride.

[B]

Y' all was gonna go from A to Z.

[D]

What on the Alphabet?

[A]

What we talked.

[B]

We've talked about, and we covered it all.

[A]

Well, that's pretty much it.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Here's what we're gonna do now.

[B]

Here's my question.

[A]

Oh, never mind. We're not. Okay.

[B]

Nope.

[A]

We got a question, Hunter.

[B]

Hey, we got one of the things to do. We always close everything with a verse from the Almighty.

[A]

This is true.

[B]

What are you going to give for today to cover what we've covered?

[A]

Do you have a favorite verse, Hunter? I don't need to put you on the spot, but I am.

[E]

I'd say probably Ezekiel 43.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

What verse is it? I'll read it.

[E]

I think it's the second verse.

[C]

Second verse.

[A]

Ezekiel 43. 2. And I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory.

[D]

That is amen.

[E]

Wild amen to that.

[D]

Yeah, that.

[A]

You just. Oh, that was cool because we. I mean, we talked about a lot.

[B]

That will cover it.

[A]

We talked about a lot.

[B]

I will cover it.

[A]

Waters and the Lord. Good gracious. I got chills on that one, Hunter. That's a good one, man. It's been great having you on. We're so glad you got to come down. And we've prayed for you on the show before. And we're gonna do it.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Close us in a prayer, too. We've been doing that lately.

[D]

Pray for Hunter, so I kind of dig it.

[A]

We're so glad you got to join us.

[D]

You got.

[A]

You still need the microphone, sir. He took his hat off and took the microphone with him. We're gonna close this one out in a prayer and rock and roll.

[B]

Father, it is a privilege to come before you and your almighty throne. Father, we pray a special prayer for Hunter and his family. Please take this cancer from his body. Turn him into the mighty warrior he can come become of yours for your kingdom. Okay? And he will do mighty things, we have no doubt about that. Long as he keeps Jesus in his heart and mind and keeps his focus on your son, you and your holy Spirit. And again, Father, we thank you for all that you do for us. And we are very, very appreciative of it. And we ask this through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lord and the King of Kings. Amen. Amen.

[A]

We'll catch y' all next time, right here in the duck call room.

[B]

Sam.
