Transcript

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of.

[Martin]

Unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment.

[Si]

Of $45 for a three month plan equivalent to $15 per month. Required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com Foreign we ready? Johnny D over here. Scrolling up pictures of Hawaii.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, I'm still looking for Johnny D's.

[Si]

Google searches over here are wild. He's been on the tax assessor boys.

[Martin]

Martin, have you been over there with Johnny D?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I've never sat, never sat beside me. This is weird. We're 460 episodes in and this is the first.

[Si]

But I, I, I now having sat right here for, I don't know, a few minutes, understand why S never pays attention to any of us. Well, because there's cuz your ADHD self over here on Google.

[Jase]

Yeah, he's going, you look up some stuff.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, well, well I met a kid named river who had a. I don't know if it was a terrible or great mullet and his whole family said they went to the beach and I was like from New Orleans and they're like yeah. And they went to Holly beach in Louisiana. I didn't know that was a thing.

[Si]

Never heard of it. Well, there's Folly beach on Lake.

[Jase]

Oh, I've heard of Holly Beach. You've heard of you. Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

No you haven't.

[Si]

Holly Beach, Louisiana.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's usually right. Well it's a real thing and that whole family went to it and it's.

[Si]

Got, it's got sand.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I may go those Pennsylvanians. I was like wait till y' all hear about Florida.

[Si]

Man, that looks like mosquito country though. It is.

[Jase]

It's Louisiana, remember?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I appreciate your mullet.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Anyway, choice is questionable.

[Si]

Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen, Hope Hunter. When does this air?

[Jase]

Thursday. Thursday.

[Si]

Well, we hope you had a great holiday weekend if you're just now catching up with us first I'm back in the podcast since the holiday weekend. Happy birthday America. But before we get started, would be remiss to not mention the tragedy in Texas. You know crazy deal over there with the flash floods and everything and shame on the ones who are trying to make that a political stance on one side or the other. That was just a bad deal.

[Jase]

So.

[Si]

So our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by it, the crews that are there cleaning it up, and. And now, I guess, into recovery missions rather than rescue, like. Unbelievable. Yeah, just. Just a terrible deal, man.

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. We dropped our kids off at day camp this morning, and you don't expect anything to happen just like those parents didn't.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Because the Camp Mystic's a big part of that. And, you know, you don't. You don't know when natural disasters are going to hit.

[Martin]

No.

[Si]

And we don't know why.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Si]

Right. Like, I'm sure there's a lot of people questioning why, how you know all the things. And I know it's easy to say sitting here in Louisiana, but, man, just. Just lean into Jesus during this time. Yeah, I know it's a. I know it's a tough time. You. You're going to have way more questions than you'll ever have answers on this deal. And just. Just lean into Jesus. Lean into those around you, because. I know, I know, I know personally, in Louisiana especially, we've dealt with a lot of, quote, unquote, natural disasters as far as hurricanes. And when you see a community rally around itself, this is when you really see the best of the human race, is when things like this happen.

[Martin]

That's right. And my heart goes out to everybody involved. And if you've ever worked with kids, if you've ever been responsible for keeping kids, you know, I mean, that's looking at me.

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

Because he's not used to looking at. He's.

[Jase]

I think you're trying to say, I got. I take care of this kid and. You do.

[Si]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jase]

You do.

[Martin]

Well, I watch after this one kid. I mean, as long as he ain't driving, everything's fine. But, Martin, thank you. That's absolutely right. Let's keep them in our prayers.

[Si]

Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. You. I know we got a lot of. A lot of fans in the great state of Texas, so. And I'm sure some of them, to this extent, listen to us that were probably directly affected by this, but. Yeah, but know that. Yeah, we'll lift you guys up and all the recovery efforts and all the things, you know, and, man, just. It sucks. There's no.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's the only word to describe.

[Si]

I can't think of. I'm not even going to try to sugarcoat it because that's disrespectful to it. It just plain sucks. And. Yeah, Being a father now, seeing that kind of stuff, it's just as a different take on it because I was. While those families were dealing with that, I was out on a lake with my two boys on a pontoon boat watching them see stuff for the first time, do stuff for the first time. So, I mean, I can't. I can't even fathom what you guys are going through, but I know somebody that can. I know somebody that has, and I know somebody that will. And that. And that's Jesus.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, sure.

[Si]

Yeah, man. But anyway, it was a. Interesting holiday weekend. We had some fun. We did some things. I caught my biggest smallmouth bass ever. That was kind of cool.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Sigh. You had a good weekend, huh?

[Jase]

No, I. Party.

[Si]

Why?

[Martin]

Hey, where did it start?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I walked in this room, I said, sigh, you look like you're in a good mood. He goes, I'm spiraling.

[Jase]

And I said, out of control.

[Si]

What happened?

[Jase]

Well, first I lost playing poker.

[Si]

Timeout. Time out.

[Martin]

Do we have any video evidence of.

[Si]

This before we go further? Once I admits defeat in poker, that's defeat. That means it was.

[Martin]

No, but he gave a speech before the game. I think I sent it to you, Martin.

[Si]

You gave. You sent it to me, but I'm had to send it.

[Jase]

I had a run for about an hour in whatever pot.

[Si]

Okay.

[Jase]

And then it went south.

[Martin]

And here we go.

[Jase]

His name was Sam Houston back in the day when Santa Ana was marching around the Alamo. Well, that's what I'm going to do tonight. Hey, the Mexicans said no quarter. I'm taking no prisoners. And hey, I'm killing all of them.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And he's wearing a shirt straight out of Alice in Wonderland.

[Jase]

That's it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What was that song playing in the background?

[Martin]

I got no idea.

[Ryan Reynolds]

When they listen to Witness.

[Jase]

Anyway, that ain't the worst of it. Then it goes worse. I go to film today. Okay. And I'm following Christian. He's in a four by four.

[Si]

Oh, timeout. Yeah, that's mistake one.

[Martin]

Here we go.

[Si]

Mistake one. Mistake one. You followed Christian?

[Jase]

Well, anyway, we were fixed to go over to his house and film. Okay, well, I follow him. He goes. And he goes to a very narrow bridge.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But.

[Jase]

But he's in a four by four. My truck, it's a four by four, too. So I thought I could make it, but I made one bad little calculation. It was coming around a curve and I didn't get lined up properly, so I just heard a little. And then I'm off the bridge. And I said, that don't sound Good. So when I got up and stopped a pair. It ain't good. Okay, it's all the way down one side.

[Si]

Wait, time out.

[Jase]

Wait.

[Si]

Which bridge this has got. If you were following Christian on a side by side, that means you were at Willie's house and his.

[Jase]

Yes, and I went way down to the driveway and went right over.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wait, you went.

[Si]

You went across the bridge at the dam?

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

You went across the dam bridge?

[Jase]

Yeah, I went across the damn bridge.

[Martin]

Wait a minute.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You tried to fit through that?

[Jase]

Yeah, I fit through it. If I.

[Martin]

No, the sound.

[Si]

I can barely walk across that. I want to see this.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Sent me this video while he was talking. This is it, bruh. That's the of your truck?

[Jase]

Yes, it is.

[Martin]

Oh, my goodness.

[Jase]

And hey, all I'm doing is waiting for what's next.

[Martin]

A lawsuit. Did you hit anybody?

[Jase]

Oh, no, no. Because what he said they were looking for somebody. I said, oh, some. I've done something in Arkansas and they're looking for me. That's what become next. The law's going to show up to my house and arrest me tonight.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I hope will he doesn't sit, but. Did you break the bridge?

[Jase]

I don't know. I told him I ain't gonna check the bridge.

[Si]

Hey, that's a darn fine bridge if it held your pickup truck.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, hey, dang, it's a small bridge.

[Si]

I did.

[Martin]

Is that the bridge we fish off of.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Now? This one's way bigger. That one's way bigger than this one.

[Si]

Yeah, because your truck should have made the one across the water.

[Jase]

Well, no, no, it would make that one if I'd have lined up properly. That's stupidity on my part.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay. I don't know.

[Si]

You know, here's what I tell you. You know what I think of when I see that?

[Martin]

A lawsuit.

[Si]

I think of your brother.

[Jase]

No, I think about Al. When we pulled up down to the boats apart. Al would come back in from hunting. Al puts in reverse and just the doors open. He tears one door off one side. He hangs up between two oak trees. And he just said, well, I done tore door off, put it here and all the way down both sides.

[Si]

But me and Phil. Me and Phil were down there working on something. I don't even remember what, during the summertime. And he looked at these two trees kind of like that. He said, do you think I can make it? And I said, I don't think so.

[Jase]

Yeah, don't talk.

[Si]

He said, I think we're good. Yeah. I said, okay, that's fine. And so, boom, he Drove. He said, oh, he was. Just as he was driving. And then he got out and looked and he said, well, he said, no. He said, this thing's two inches narrower than it was.

[Martin]

It'll fit.

[Si]

Next. He said, next time I'll be able to go right through the Max and.

[Jase]

Go right there, boys.

[Si]

That was in that old black Toyota tundra there. T1000, whatever that thing was he had.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I was trying to find a picture of that bridge.

[Si]

Oh, man, that's what.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I've been known.

[Si]

Where were you going?

[Jase]

To Christian's house to film.

[Si]

So right outside there is a road.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Like a major highway.

[Jase]

If the 4x4 went through there, I should have made it through there. It was bad driving on my part.

[Si]

All you had to do was go on the highway.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm going to go by there tonight, cuz. Something tells me Christian didn't go back and check the bridge.

[Jase]

Probably didn't.

[Martin]

So I don't admit any.

[Jase]

I told him, yeah, I don't care. Oh, man. Boys, two hours.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I like to keep a spare deodorant around all the places. Office, bathroom, bedroom.

[Si]

I will say, look, I ain't kidding. Like, I just got back from a trip. I took two bags with me. When I got there, I was like, oh, man, I forgot deodorant wrong. There were three sticks of deodorant already in those two bags that I didn't pack because I just. I use the same travel got to keep over and over. And when I'm using it, that's when you use mando, baby, because you ain't trying to stink like it's fourth of July. We have people all around. There were. There were guests, there were people I knew, people I didn't know. So you don't want to be that guy. Like you don't want to be. Just smell that one guy at the party. We've all smelt him before, right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I. We've all been in before, if we're being honest.

[Si]

That's exactly right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Not no more.

[Si]

Mando's 4 in 1, acidified cleansing bars of shampoo, face wash, body wash, and deodorant all in one bar. You can also use it as a shaving lather if you're into that kind of thing. Yeah, we're not. Obviously we're not. We're not shaving.

Now. My qu. My next question, because I think I know this answer. Are you going to get your truck fixed?

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

Oh, you are?

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

Oh, okay. I just figured you'd leave it. No, I figured that'd be our problem one day.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I. I would leave it. I wouldn't fix it.

[Si]

Hey, I did pop that one piece back in for you, though, while I was out there. It was. It was hanging by a thread.

[Jase]

Yeah. No, this was just a. It starts with S. It was stupidity on my part.

[Si]

Hey, you can't spell stupidity without si, buddy.

[Martin]

Hey. He said he was going to write a country song about all this stuff happening to him.

[Si]

That's fantastic. Look at that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That is a small bridge.

[Si]

It's tiny.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, I need to find that email.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

At 6:26am Ryan, who. Why are you emailing podcasts at 6:26 in the morning? That's weird. Anyway, sorry.

[Si]

So welcome, Olivia. Well. Well, we'll try not to bring in too much of this, but we might.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We never know where we're going.

[Si]

You never know where we're going to go because I don't have. I can't. How do you all work over here? I can't even see my timer. Oh, okay. We're only like, 18 minutes in. That's cool.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, we don't let s see the timer.

[Si]

Oh, yeah, that's probably a good look.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, your big head's normally in the way.

[Si]

Oh, well, I know. If he blocks it, I know. I block it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You block it good. The what? But you went to Chattanooga.

[Si]

Chattanooga, Tennessee? Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Did you go to the Little Debbie Park?

[Si]

No, I did not.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Loser.

[Jase]

You go see a choo choo train.

[Si]

We didn't go to the Choo Choo either. No, we. We stayed on the lake, man. The boys rode. It's not their first boat ride, but it's probably the first one where they were basically not vegetables. I get like, they were walking around the boat while we were under. Jump in now.

[Jase]

They.

[Si]

They had some fun, though. Whenever we'd hit those hit like, boat wakes because obviously Fourth of July weekend. You know, lakes are busy places. A lot of bouncing, and they, they. They really enjoyed the bouncing up and down, standing on the boat. So it was. And the swimming lessons were great because that's what they did the whole time was they stayed in the pool.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Um, your kids can, like, legitimately swim?

[Si]

Oh, yeah, they're swimming. Yeah, they're. They're swim swimming.

[Ryan Reynolds]

They're not, like, just bobbing.

[Si]

No, they're swim swimming. They are hands, feet, kicking, all the things. And like, the one. What surprised me about that was Jackson was probably like the C plus student of the swim lessons, I would call him. Like, I mean, he passed, but he. He did not thrive. While Waylon looked like Michael Phelps out there, like, just one of them deals is just natural to him. Like, just like, no problem. Jackson was always fighting at the. But Jackson would not quit swimming.

[Jase]

Just swam the whole time.

[Si]

I mean, it was unbelievable. They had a little basketball, and he wanted to go get that basketball. He would throw it out there and try and go get it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's a good time.

[Si]

Yeah, good time. What a time to be alive, right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

So when's the last time you just went swimming for funsies?

[Si]

I don't know that he ever had.

[Martin]

He almost went filming today.

[Jase]

Long time.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Do you own a swimsuit?

[Jase]

Nope. Oh, man. Not anymore.

[Si]

What a bummer.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What? At what age do you just stop swimming?

[Jase]

That's a long ways.

[Si]

Yeah, I'd say about 35.

[Jase]

Yeah, that's way back here.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I was swimming this weekend.

[Martin]

Oh, I went swimming this weekend.

[Si]

Never mind. I was in there to catch my son, but I was not swimming.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's swimming.

[Si]

No, I was just in the water to catch Jackson. I was not swimming.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's swimming, bro.

[Si]

I just stood there.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's even if you just got like a popsicle in the pool.

[Martin]

I got in the pool, but I didn't do any, you know, flips or cannonballs or I let all the young people do all that.

[Si]

I did do a cannonball.

[Martin]

There we go for a drone swimming.

[Jase]

Hey, the last time. I remember the. The. A good memory.

[Martin]

I know when he went swimming last. I know when it was. Yeah, it was. I know when it was.

[Jase]

This was on Red river when I was a teenager.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, that's your last good memory of swimming?

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You really missed out on a lot.

[Jase]

Of times we wasn't swimming. We'd get in a shallow water and lay down and do our fingers like this and catch the fish that come in between us.

[Si]

No. Yeah, you saw that on Bloodsport last One Jean Paul Van Damme was blindfolded. Catch and go.

[Jase]

No, no, no, no. Hey, I'm telling you, I caught a little old crawfish about that long. And he just. He got me on both sides of my fingers.

[Si]

He bitched.

[Jase]

I did catch him.

[Si]

You caught him?

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Y' all didn't go to the pool, huh?

[Jase]

No, we ate.

[Si]

I don't reckon. There was no pools.

[Martin]

And there was a pond in a pool.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Nobody had to have had a pool.

[Jase]

No, no. My mother, when she would get sick of us, okay? And it was. When I say sick of us, it was Tommy, Phil and me. Jan got left out. When she gets sick of us. You'd load us up in the Falcon, drive 15 miles up river, pull over to the levee, get out, and I don't want to see you till suppertime.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And that's why you don't like swimming?

[Jase]

No.

[Martin]

He's traumatized.

[Jase]

Then we would go to the river, push a log, find a log, you know, push it out, ride it down, come to a sandbar in the middle of the river.

[Ryan Reynolds]

People call that a float trip. Make a whole day out of it.

[Jase]

It was fun.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I can't stop paying out my mind for stuff. Everything's more expensive, Martin.

[Si]

It is more expensive.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Groceries, fireworks, gas. Hey, even a hamburger. Feels like you got to go take a small loan out.

[Si]

There you go.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And if you're with Verizon at and T or T Mobile, you're overpaying for wireless, period, period, blank, and the period.

[Si]

And the end of the story.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You're paying for retail stores you probably never go into. You're paying for unnecessary perks you're never even going to use. And I could pretty much guarantee you're paying a massive premium for what you think is superior 5G service.

[Si]

Go ahead.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But guess what? Pure Talk uses the same exact 5G network on the same exact 5G towers. And the only difference is, they don't charge you for any of the garbage.

[Si]

Hey. Take the garbage out, son. Hey.

[Jase]

Hey.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Back the truck up and leave the garbage onto somewhere else that's not your home. Instead, Pure Talk gives you unlimited talk, text and port, plenty of data for just 25 bucks a month. That's less than half the price of the big guys. Look, I'm Pure Talk customer. I made the switch. What are you waiting for? I kept my same phone number, just switched my phone over, got all the same contacts. You don't know my passcode, so I don't know why you're trying to get in there.

[Si]

I was just Going to use Pure Talk.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Sigh. You're not a cell phone guy, but this is something you can get behind. They're a veteran owned by veteran led company and they love doing things for veterans. They've donated 50 grand to provide scholarships to support veterans learning trades after active duty. They're helping eliminate veteran debt and they've been raising donations to end veteran suicide. So do this. Go to PureTalk.com duck, and you'll save an additional 50% off your first month. You can literally be switched over to Pure Talk in less than 10 minutes. That's PureTalk.com. dirk, switch to Pure Talk Wireless by Americans and for Americans.

[Si]

All right.

[Martin]

When we were in the Bahamas, Mar? Sa was on a float in the pool when Martin did a cannonball on him.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I would love to have seen that.

[Si]

You remember that? There's a picture of that.

[Martin]

Yeah, I got a picture of it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And then also video of that.

[Martin]

Also, me and S snuck over to Jace's house when he was out of town.

[Jase]

Oh, I tried that time I went.

[Martin]

Swimming and we went swimming in his pool.

[Jase]

That's the last time I went swimming.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Y' all snuck into Jason's pool.

[Si]

Did you go skinny dipping in Jason's pool?

[Jase]

Yeah, no, we had. We had blue jeans. You.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hold on. You swam in blue jeans voluntarily?

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

Well, no, side, but side jumped off that dock in Duck Dynasty, too. I remember, like, because he didn't tell the sound man.

[Jase]

I did too. He said, you can't jump in the water. And I said, hey, it's 80 degrees or 180 degrees. It's August, okay? I'm fixing to get wet. I got waited on, idiot. You better do something this back. Well, hey, he ignored it. So guess what? $1,000 got wet. And ruined.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And ruined. You, sir, are in error.

[Jase]

Yeah, because the last thing they heard after that little conversation was, was blue.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's wild. So you went swimming and it was fun?

[Jase]

Well, of course it was fun.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Thank you. We all just keep jumping in pools.

[Jase]

It was hot as Hades. I was wearing big chest Waiters.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Are you a cannonball man or a flip man?

[Jase]

I just, hey, run out there and lay straight out. Just come wade back in. And Sandman was going.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I said, I told you, Martin's a cannonball man himself.

[Jase]

I told you.

[Si]

That's only if I'm doing it for video. Otherwise, I'm just going to step off into there. I don't really like getting wet all at once. I got too much PTSD all these.

[Jase]

Times I went swimming. Now coming back.

[Martin]

Yeah, you see? Here we go.

[Jase]

Actually went swimming when we was in Hawaii.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Jase]

Okay. In the ocean. And that was the coolest thing in the world. I'm sitting on the board, waiting on a wave, and something. I see something coming up.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I like swimming pools where there's no wildlife.

[Jase]

Something is coming up from the bottom of the ocean.

[Martin]

From the deep.

[Jase]

From the deep. And hey, guess what it is. It's one of them big giant sea turtles. About big around that table. This thing comes up like a pet puppy right up against me, and I actually petted. Pet his head.

[Ryan Reynolds]

They will throw you in jail for that.

[Jase]

Oh, no, no. The lady that was my safe, you know, lifeguard, she was behind me. She said, I live in this ocean literally all my life. She said, I've never. She said, what is with y'? All? With you, Robertson? And I said, what are you talking about? She said, that's a giant sea turtle. And he come up to you like a puppy.

[Si]

Johnny D's got a clip of you in the pool at the wellness center.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I have found into what magic you. And apparently season seven episode eight of Dark Dynasty, which I don't know that I've seen. Look at that.

[Jase]

Oh, wow.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Is you and Jeff at the gym, swimming. Do you remember this, Martin?

[Si]

No.

[Jase]

Yeah, I remember that, too.

[Si]

Oh, I remember. Is this the one where. But I remember Al getting hurt. Is this where Al got.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wait.

[Martin]

Who was that?

[Ryan Reynolds]

That was sad. We've now found out he is not a cannonballer. I don't know if we can show that.

[Jase]

We.

[Martin]

That's a plank dive.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, he. He just.

[Si]

He just fell in.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He just goes hard as a board and just falls over.

[Jase]

There it is.

[Si]

Okay, why is. Why has somebody not made that a gift?

[Martin]

Oh, you got to.

[Ryan Reynolds]

There's k this. YouTube doesn't work that well. We've never tried.

[Jase]

It looked like I was shot. I hit my hand. Somebody shot me.

[Ryan Reynolds]

See, he said he doesn't like swimming, folks, but I have video. Video proof of Duck Dynasty.

[Si]

I bet Jeff wouldn't take his shirt off today.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Now, Jeff don't look like that no more. No offense, Jeff.

[Si]

Now, Jeff and Al kind of swap places in that video, and where they are now, this is a little bit of a difference there. Oh, man. Well, I know he went swimming at the redneck water park, too.

[Jase]

Oh, yeah, the redneck water park.

[Si]

Yeah, that one hurt. That one hurt me. Yeah, they had me swing off that excavator.

[Jase]

Yeah, it hurt.

[Si]

Oh, I'm. My rope swinging abilities wouldn't.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What they used to be Swings are hard.

[Si]

Well, it's way different when you do that stuff sober.

[Jase]

Yeah, but. Yeah, I didn't. I wouldn't have made a good Tarzan.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You wouldn't have. No, not enough upper body strength.

[Jase]

No, not enough upper body strength.

[Si]

Just a swing.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And Allison still, every year, goes off the diving board, does a flip till she can't. But she only to do it, like, one time.

[Si]

Oh, really?

[Ryan Reynolds]

At 34, she's still got it.

[Si]

She's done it already this year.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Did it last weekend.

[Si]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And she said, I'm not doing that again till next year.

[Si]

Like a backflip or just front flip? Just front flip.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm a dive man myself.

[Si]

What?

[Jase]

What?

[Si]

What? You dive?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I just dive in.

[Si]

Oh, just.

[Ryan Reynolds]

No, I had the jump up. Do a little swan diving.

[Si]

Oh, okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm pretty graceful for a big guy.

[Si]

Well, you're not near as big as you used to be.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hold on.

[Si]

That Hunter. Just Hunter. Just Hunter just snort at you.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He choked on his own.

[Jase]

I was. I was thinking it was the other thing, uh. Oh, I said, somebody's cuts the cheese over there.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It was just a funny saying. Do I not look graceful for a big guy? I've never seen you dive. Would you assume I'm not good at it?

[Si]

No, I shouldn't.

[Jase]

I wouldn't.

[Si]

If he's ever seen. If he's ever seen your vertical, I.

[Jase]

Probably wouldn't say JD Looks graceful doing that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, I probably don't look graceful, but.

[Martin]

The people at the country club thought he was.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I feel graceful.

[Jase]

Never been a member, sir, but, hey, feeling and looks are different things.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's true.

[Jase]

Oh, man alive.

[Si]

Like, where do we go from here? I have no idea. Oh, man, we got real.

[Martin]

How did we get here? For a second, Cy forgets about getting in the water. All those times I was like, I.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Ain'T been swimming in 50 years.

[Jase]

I remember doing it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Videos of him swimming all over the Internet.

[Martin]

Christine would have straightened him right out, though.

[Si]

I generally swim at least once every duck season. But again, not volunteering.

[Martin]

Voluntary. Yeah.

[Si]

Yeah, that's. That's in a mad panic to get out of the cold water. Oh, man. Shoot.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Anyways, okay, so what you do for the fourth besides lose at poker and scratch up your truck?

[Si]

Do you shoot firework?

[Jase]

Nothing? No, the neighbors did.

[Si]

Did they?

[Martin]

All night long.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That is a win.

[Jase]

They kept. Poom. I'll be in the bed. I said, what was that?

[Si]

Well, on your street. That's a real question.

[Jase]

Well, yeah, you know, sometimes you can tell it ain't. It ain't Firework going off.

[Si]

Yeah. September. Why? Somebody shooting fireworks down there.

[Martin]

That's a real celebration.

[Jase]

Christine said, where did they duck on around here? And I said, what are you talking about? She said, oh, I sitting on porch yesterday afternoon and hey, there was a war going on below us.

[Si]

Yeah, that's just a Hatfields of McCoys.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It could have been fireworks. I don't do no fireworks.

[Si]

You don't? Why not?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, because somebody that listened to this last podcast had more fingers than the time that they're listening to this podcast.

[Martin]

No, no, for sure.

[Jase]

Oh, no.

[Ryan Reynolds]

The odds are is somebody gonna blow their finger of hand or thumb off.

[Si]

Well, I saw that one video from like Lake Martin in Alabama or something. What happened there where the barge caught on fire?

[Ryan Reynolds]

See, I don't like fire.

[Si]

And I mean then it looked like the streets of Beirut. Like, I mean there was no.

[Jase]

There was. There was a firework factory or either.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, in California, you see that boom, boom, pow, pow.

[Jase]

All cooled down.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Jase]

If that's the one. It was a body found in it.

[Si]

Oh, really?

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

I didn't know that cover up.

[Jase]

But there may have been a different one. I just like on the news, they said, well, now that we've had time to check it, you know, going through it, body found.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But the problem with fireworks is.

[Jase]

It.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Is literally lighting money on fire. Fireworks are expensive.

[Jase]

Oh, no.

[Si]

Yeah, yeah, we spent way too much money.

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

When I was a kid, they were cheap. Like, you go, you, you go, you'd spend 10 bucks and yeah, you'd have an afternoon. Now it's like $95 and it's boom.

[Martin]

Yeah, jumping.

[Jase]

But they're dangerous now.

[Martin]

Have you all seen the videos where the guys, they like, they light the firework, but they throw the lighter down and take off running with the firework, like accidentally and they're over there and it booms on all of.

[Si]

No, but I saw this one. This one was what?

[Martin]

Oh, you know what? Sign needs to see Terry in the.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Back up to put it reverse Terry.

[Martin]

Have you ever seen that? You ever seen Terry trying to set the fireworks?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Terry is a legend.

[Martin]

We got to show you that video.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Terry is a legend in all of the fourth of July lore.

[Jase]

I don't remember what holiday it was.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We have done digressed into a podcast.

[Si]

Two cars, huh? Back up, back up. Look at Terry. What you doing? Terry?

[Martin]

Terry.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We've become this podcast, people. We just show clips of other.

[Martin]

Look at how big that is.

[Si]

Big up, big up, back up.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Terry put in reverse. Terry put in reverse.

[Si]

Oh, Lord.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, lord. Oh, what the. What you doing, baby?

[Jase]

Jesus Sad.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Terry was on a float in his hometown this year for the fourth of July parade.

[Si]

You know what? I love? A company that's committed to helping you get the best sleep of your life. That's exactly what my pillow is.

[Jase]

Yep.

[Si]

My pillow. You think, oh, they got the best pillow around. And you're right. They do have the best pillow around. But you know what else they got?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Martin. Martin found a video of some kid. They light his roman Candle.

[Jase]

Hold on, watch this.

[Ryan Reynolds]

There's a kid and he's got to be 3 or 4 top.

[Si]

He can't be older than 4.

[Ryan Reynolds]

They lighten his Roman candle. He takes off running into that house. I hate fireworks.

[Si]

Hey, I laughed at that was so hard because I really feel like that's what Waylon or Jackson would do. If you lit one, they're going to take it to like their, their safe space cuz they want to go play with it. They're going straight through the door.

[Jase]

Like, oh.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Carter was mad at me on the fourth of July because it is his favorite holiday. And he was like, dad, where's the fireworks? I said we're not going to light money on fire this year. We. We let Jason Missy light their money on fire for us. And we watch those. So like we're good, aren't we? He was like, no.

[Si]

Oh, y' all should have come. Y' all should have come with us.

[Jase]

We had some of that stuff that goes up and then blows up. That's like $120 and you don't get it back.

[Si]

No, it ain't.

[Ryan Reynolds]

There's no returning.

[Si]

It ain't. 120 short lived. Well, inflation hit fireworks.

[Jase]

Oh, oh, that's higher.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, it's crazy.

[Jase]

I knew I stopped at one time was thinking about getting, you know, was going to do it.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Jase]

I'm like J.D. i got to walking through there looking at the price.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Jase]

Because they put it on them and I said no, I ain't got. I go to.

[Si]

Yeah. I'm not going to divulge how much we spent on it. But I'll just say this. Our fireworks show lasted 26 minutes.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh no.

[Martin]

Whoa, whoa.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Jase]

That's some serious cash.

[Martin]

About 26 hundo.

[Jase]

Yeah. That's all. That's some serious cash going up.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And you. And it. It's not even like, oh, we don't like this anymore. Let's sell it for half what we it. It literally blows up.

[Si]

Oh, but it smells like America, man. It's just smell like gunpowder.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You know how much better a hot dog is?

[Si]

It's like smelling duck season in July, man. Like.

[Jase]

But I wonder what they spent in D.C. up there on that one.

[Si]

I don't know. But there was one on Lake Chickamauga there in Tennessee that we went to the night before.

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

37 minutes of non stop fire. I was like, it was so long. I got bored. I was like, I mean how much expensive?

[Martin]

It's dangerous if you get somebody to shoot fireworks professionally. Do y' all remember when cy had his 50 year anniversary and they shot the fireworks out there and missing Jason and that was. That was a huge show.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Martin]

And that was.

[Si]

It ain't cheap.

[Ryan Reynolds]

How much was it?

[Si]

We just a bunch of amateur.

[Martin]

More than you're thinking.

[Ryan Reynolds]

More than.

[Si]

I'm good, Corny.

[Martin]

No, it was below, but it was.

[Jase]

It's in the thousands.

[Si]

Yeah. Yes.

[Martin]

Several.

[Jase]

Several thousand.

[Si]

Oh, I know how much a self produced one cost us this weekend, so I can't imagine hiring a professional.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, when we're walking around with lighters. Hey. I don't remember what year it was, but WFR youth group party way back in the day. They were across like this little valley type hill and they were set up on the other hill and they had them all where they were going to light and then go the next one and light and light. And the first one they knocked that sucker over and it was just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And then you'd see like random dads just running out of the smoke. I was like, this is a bad deal here.

[Jase]

Dang.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't like fireworks.

[Jase]

They're dangerous.

[Martin]

Hey, no.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All you got to do is look at Jason Pierre's Paul's hand one time and you won't mess with.

[Si]

Oh, yeah, I ain't trying to hold.

[Martin]

Them, but I did have a buddy of mine hold one. They lit it and he was just going to wait till the end and run some water on it. And he was laughing and everybody was in his house. They're like, throw that thing outside. He's like, right at the end he put water on it like it was going to go out.

[Si]

Nope.

[Martin]

No, it blew up in his hand. I mean, then it caused a lot of damage.

[Si]

Yeah, this is when we need to have like an ER doctor on here.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, I got a friend who does not have a thumb. Well, no, no, he was from high school and it is from a firework. And I'll never forget the first time I met him. Weirdest handshake I've ever had.

[Jase]

I guarantee if you went to the emergency room and checked.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What are you laughing at?

[Jase]

Fourth of July weekend.

[Si]

Oh, that may be a cool place to hang out.

[Jase]

Hello. I'm serious. You go and check. I guarantee you there was a bunch of people come here was bowels.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Do we know any stuff with our hands our doctors anymore? Curly used to be ER nurse. Yeah, no, I'm telling you, my buddy, I, I didn't know. I met him at a church thing and I was like, hey, man, good to see you again. And I went to shake his hand and I said, whoa. And I looked down and he just don't have a thumb.

[Martin]

What do you say?

[Jase]

He.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, he didn't say nothing at the time. And I was like, I gotta ask about that eventually. Because I mean, that's. There's no thumb there.

[Si]

Yeah. So what happened?

[Ryan Reynolds]

And so I was like, what happened? He's like fireworks. When I was a dumb kid, that.

[Jase]

Makes him handicapped big time.

[Si]

Yeah. No thumb.

[Jase]

No thumb. You can't. Hey, that hand is about useless.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I mean, he's pretty impressive.

[Martin]

That's what they used to do, the old kings, back in the day that they captured the king. They cut off their big toes and their thumbs.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Not true.

[Martin]

That is true.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What movie have you been?

[Jase]

Oh, that's. Just go back and look it up.

[Ryan Reynolds]

They cut. Why would they cut their tongue.

[Martin]

They captured the kings because it handicaps them. Your thumbs and your big toes are cut off.

[Si]

You got nothing if you ain't got thought.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I mean, I can think of some things. If I was trying to torture somebody, I'd cut off before their toe. Their tongue.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Or their ears.

[Martin]

Try no thumbs.

[Si]

Well, you gonna cut off a ears for them. Still work. Everything airs inside.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, but you just look funny.

[Martin]

Well, yeah, man, it's torturous. Sure.

[Si]

What else were you gonna cut off?

[Ryan Reynolds]

We're going down a path.

[Si]

I noticed you had to self edit on.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Si]

Where else were you going?

[Jase]

Just.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Just start like them cows. Rubber band till it falls off. I've never thought about this. You need somebody to say something that's. I'm not starting with their toes. All I'm saying, you ever capture me and you start with my toes, I might. I might hold out on you. You start other places. I'm singing like a canary.

[Si]

Buddy. I've known you my. I've known you for a while now. You gonna sing for the knife. Everyone comes out.

[Jase]

I will fix it.

[Si]

You gonna sing as soon as you catch it. Yeah. They gonna be putting you in cuffs.

[Jase]

And you're gonna be singing I'm alive.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm gonna say it was that guy. I'm out of here.

[Jase]

I'll be looking over there like, don't bother. Don't bother. What do you want to know?

[Si]

Yeah, I'll tell you it all right now. Do not lock me up.

[Jase]

I'll tell you right now.

[Martin]

Hey, bring me a dirty rag and let me put it on that Rolex of his. He'll start squealing.

[Si]

Oh, ain't no. No chance. Wouldn't take that long.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That. That's true. That is true.

[Si]

Hey, I'm a rat too, though, man.

[Martin]

You going to tell. You gonna tell it?

[Si]

Well, I mean, depending on what it is. Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Just don't hurt me.

[Si]

Yeah. Like, if it's somebody doing something stupid, I'll tell on. Yeah. I ain't worried about it.

[Martin]

He gonna tell it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, I probably won't be there by.

[Martin]

Hey, did anybody in your family, your brothers there? Was there one person that would go squeal?

[Jase]

Huh? Him.

[Si]

Tattletail. He said no. S. Wasn't a tattletale. He was just.

[Jase]

Oh, no, no. Cause hey. Cause back then, okay, in a sense, we run around half naked all the time. Okay? You got worms a lot. Okay? So they had to deworm the kids.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What?

[Jase]

Yeah. I'm serious. This was a monthly thing, you know, you must.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You got dewormed once a month.

[Martin]

Boys, get in here and get your worming.

[Jase]

I know. Cause, hey, it's a pill. Well, she would give, like, me a Tommy. And Phil. And Phil, he's tricky, okay? Because he looked like he swallowed it. And then we'd walk away, and next thing he does, he'd throw it behind the kitchen. No.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So Phil wanted worms.

[Jase]

He threw. He threw it. Well, he threw it away. He didn't like. This man, didn't like medicine, okay? Period. Okay. Even the one mama would come and said, okay, everybody line up again. We line up. You said, here's your pill. Here's your pill. Here's your pill. Here's your glass of water. Throw the pill in your mouth and drink the whole glass of water. And then I'm going to inspect the inside of your mouth. Because Phil throw it away every time.

[Martin]

He don't. He didn't mind the worm.

[Jase]

Me and Tommy would rat on him.

[Si]

Did you ever have worms?

[Jase]

Yeah, I had worms.

[Si]

Where were they?

[Martin]

He still got a tapeworm.

[Si]

Did you.

[Jase]

Did you. Did you.

[Si]

Did you poop them out?

[Jase]

Well, no. Yeah.

[Si]

You saw.

[Jase]

Oh, yeah.

[Martin]

And did you see him?

[Jase]

No, no, I'm serious. Hey, that was just. That was part of growing up.

[Si]

Okay, I'm interested now. Time.

[Jase]

You.

[Si]

You pooped worms.

[Jase]

Oh, yeah.

[Si]

Really?

[Jase]

Well, you would drop a load, okay? Look, there'd be worms all in it, wiggling.

[Si]

Well, see, I've always heard that. That it's, like, bred into humans. That's why if you take a duck, like, 98% of people look at it, it's because you're checking for worms, not because you're impressed with what you just did. No.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You're trying to Think of weight you lost.

[Si]

It's like innately in you to look at it.

[Jase]

Oh, when you was a child. Yeah, Mom. Every time you used number two.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Jase]

I mean, don't flush it. She's coming and inspected.

[Si]

Oh, she was coming in, really?

[Jase]

Oh, yeah.

[Si]

She would inspect it, and she wasn't, like, hunting for a ring you swallowed. She was just looking.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And if you needed another pill, he.

[Jase]

Was checking, you know, and said, okay, well, okay, you know, I ain't been till 20 days. Well, we got to redo it.

[Si]

I say, how this is.

[Jase]

You got him again. Yeah, but you got to think about. You run around barefooted all summer.

[Si]

How do you. I don't think it makes it from your feet for your stomach, does it?

[Jase]

Hey, I'm telling you, they do.

[Si]

Oh, I just figured it was because of what y' all was eating.

[Jase]

No, no. Oh, we ate good.

[Si]

Well, I know you ate good, but, like, the. The process of.

[Jase]

No, no, no.

[Si]

Cleaning things and storing things has come a long way.

[Jase]

This was just part of growing up. If you. Yo, like, you run. You running up bare footage, you know you got worms.

[Si]

Well, when you had them, did you go out there and, like, scratch your butt on the yard?

[Jase]

Oh, no.

[Si]

Like them dogs do when they got it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Are you saying everybody checks every time.

[Si]

They go number two? Yeah, there's a study on it, like, and it was because it's innately bred into. They said that it'll eventually go out since worms aren't a problem.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Do you weigh yourself before and after every time you don't?

[Si]

No.

[Jase]

Just to see.

[Martin]

No.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Like, you ever. Like, I was a two pounder?

[Si]

No, no. But I have had somewhere famous after it. I'm like, oh, God. I mean, some of them. Yeah. I kind of wish there was a scale in there to catch it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I have a scale right beside. And it's like, all right, I'm just talking about, like, 13 and a half.

[Si]

Or. She got what?

[Ryan Reynolds]

A scale. In my bathroom now.

[Si]

By your toilet. By the bed. Weird, right? Like, am I going to put it. It's not like, separated. Well, your kids don't use your bathroom.

[Jase]

Oh, no.

[Si]

Yeah. I just figured you may get tired of standing in pee, like. Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

No, it's a. I mean, what I'm.

[Si]

Kid'S got, there's a couple steps.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's not like I'm standing on the scale and I just sit straight down.

[Si]

Yeah. Okay.

[Jase]

Kids never, never hit the toilet on.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Friday, you can come look at my bathroom and answer all your questions.

[Si]

Hey, we're. We're Smack in the middle of body training, like with Jackson. It's amazing to see where they compete.

[Jase]

No, no. Oh, yeah.

[Si]

Like, I just look at it and I'm like, is that me? What did I do that? Because that's awesome.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Some of the best pictures of Carter from his childhood or him peeing in random places.

[Si]

Oh, yeah. Hey, we peed out in front of four gas stations yesterday. He won't go. He won't. He don't want to pee in the toilet yet. Really. I mean, he will, but he loves peeing in the grass. So, like, we get out to stop coming back home. And he said, tt in the grass?

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

Heck yeah, we gonna go. So we're standing out there, he just, you know.

[Jase]

Yeah, that's what.

[Martin]

That's what I have in common.

[Si]

He got a hold of it, but he don't know how. He don't know that he's steering it. So, like, every time, you know, he looks up smiling because he's happy. Next thing you know, you get pee on your shoulder. You know, it's like, hey, yeah, him.

[Martin]

And sire are identical. We're going down the road. And so I'll just say, hey, pull over now. You want rest exit? No, I say pull over.

[Jase]

Pull over.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Why would you go to a restic.

[Martin]

No, wherever we're at, that's the beauty.

[Jase]

Oh, no, no. What's the lady's name? So.

[Martin]

Oh, Ivana.

[Jase]

Ivana. Good looking. Good looking woman. I'm talking about.

[Si]

Okay, y'.

[Jase]

All. And I said, darling. She said, what? I said, pull over. She said, what are you talking about? We got your town. But Tim out of. I said, no, I gotta go now.

[Martin]

He's got this in the back of it.

[Jase]

Yeah. I said, pull over. You know. She said, well, laying down there. I said, hey, pull over and just close your eyes. I said, I'm gonna walk behind the big truck. I said, yeah, yeah. I've had people actually. I'm standing back there on the side. They come by and waving at me.

[Si]

Yeah. Hey, you asked her to close your eyes. You didn't want to put lust in her heart.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, this is the most artistic photo I've ever taken.

[Si]

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Jackson got a stream like that right now.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That was Carter back in the day, like six years ago.

[Si]

You pee over a 10.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's a pretty sunset. And then I noticed Carter just had a beautiful rainbow arch right beside.

[Si]

Is fun. I just. Because all the parents like that are stopping at them gas station, the rest areas and stuff. They know where we're at, what we're in. So they're all just giggling too.

[Jase]

Oh, yeah.

[Si]

They're like, yeah, I've been there. You know, it's just. It's. It's crazy. But we did as a big day for him, man. We did not use a diaper for him yesterday.

[Jase]

What? All right.

[Si]

Like, he. Every time he wouldn't pee until we stopped. Like, every time he had a dry diaper. But, boy, when you would stop, he was like, I need out. Like, let me out of here.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, that's a game changer.

[Si]

Meanwhile, his brother's just over pissing in his seat. Like, yes. Waylon, you want to go to. No.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Do they take their own diapers off?

[Si]

Yeah, he pulls them down. Pulls it down to his ankle. No, no, no, he can't.

[Ryan Reynolds]

After they've gone in the diaper, will they then be like, I don't want to sit in this and then come hand it to you? No, that's never happened.

[Si]

No. Because we don't use them tabs. We use ones that are like, pull. Like, they're like underwear, but they're not pull ups.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Ben's would have taken that off. Ben's was like, I don't like sitting in this. All of a sudden, you'd look and he'd be handing you something. You'd be like, what's that? And why are you naked? And it would be his dirty diaper. Pee diapers. You need to change me. Why are you pointing?

[Martin]

That's what sa does when we're going down the road.

[Si]

Oh, when he pees in his pants. Yeah. He's like, hey, look at him rolling his eyes.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's hilarious.

[Si]

Oh, shoot, man.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, we got the bathroom humor covered now.

[Si]

Well, it always is. But, hey, it's just the stage of life I'm in right now. Yeah. I never know where Jackson's gonna pee right now, so it's beautiful. But I'm here for it.

[Jase]

Any.

[Si]

Anywhere there's not a diaper. Man, if we can just cut that expense in half, I'd be thrilled.

[Jase]

Like, it's expensive. Yeah.

[Si]

For. Especially where you just ball up in the trash can.

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Si]

And save it. Save me. People that are saying, well, use cloth nest Stop. Like, I not there yet. Like, don't know that I'll ever be there. Like, poop is.

[Ryan Reynolds]

How much are diapers these days?

[Si]

Not cheap. Like, 50 bucks a box.

[Jase]

Wow.

[Ryan Reynolds]

For a box.

[Jase]

Holy moly. How many in the box?

[Si]

Like, 140, depending on your size. Like, 120 to 180 or something.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Whoa.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Jase]

Still pretty Expensive.

[Si]

Yeah, it is. Huh. Times two. Because mine don't get to share.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, y' all be sure to use Code Duck. And check out mine.

[Si]

Mine don't share, just remarks. They are two different sizes.

[Jase]

Oh, are they?

[Si]

Yeah. For the one Whalen still rocking in a four. Jackson's busting out of a five. I'm trying to get him out of diapers before he gets up there to a six. Just because I don't want to. I just don't want to do that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Like, I don't remember the size.

[Si]

I mean, he looks like a can of biscuits when you put that five on him. But it still. It still works.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You know, this is how we look. This is how we had to do bins. I'm gonna put this on the screen. I gotta get it from my phone to my computer real fast. This is what we had to do with Ben's. Because he would take his diapers off and just come hand them to you.

[Si]

Oh, yeah. This is why we're off of tabs. This is why we had to use them pull up style.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We had the world's most magical product known as duct tape. And we would duct tape a diaper on that boy.

[Si]

For real.

[Jase]

Huh? It won't.

[Ryan Reynolds]

There it is.

[Si]

Y' all just. You just put a layer of tape around it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

No. You know, one layer ain't enough. He'd get rid of that. You'd had to. Boom, boom. And then he couldn't take it off.

[Si]

Free spirit.

[Jase]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It was awful, man. He's nine now. That's insane.

[Si]

Yeah, he's made it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. He can do whatever he wants now. That's crazy. We're old, bro.

[Si]

I know. I am. I'll be 40 here in a few.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Weeks, so I don't even swim anymore. That's how old?

[Jase]

40.

[Si]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You will be 40 soon.

[Si]

Yeah, it won't be long. I'll be the big four zero. They all asked me what I was going to do. I said nothing. You're not doing anything. I hope not. Unless somebody.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You want me to tell you if Brittany plans a surprise party for you?

[Si]

Yes. I'm sure you'll be involved somehow. I'll slide you some business if you. If you let me know that that's coming.

[Martin]

That's right.

[Si]

Well, I can play in something on top.

[Martin]

You got a snitch for him.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's funny.

[Si]

All right, well, we want to close with a verse.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I didn't even know we were almost.

[Si]

Maybe. Why don't we do this instead? Hey, what side? Why don't you say a prayer over all those Texas families instead of closing with a verse.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I was trying to think of a verse, and I couldn't even come up with something. So I actually love this plan.

[Si]

Let's lift up all our fine folks in Texas that are going through a legitimate living nightmare. I mean, so.

[Jase]

Yeah, I'll buy a head right quick. Father, we bring the state of Texas to your throne room. We ask you to a special request to bless all those people that are involved with that, Father. All the first responders, all the divers, all the people that are trying to work and help out on the situation. It's just one of them things that most people don't understand about. You know, they don't believe in the flood that's written about in the Bible. They've never lived on a river because the water in the Guadalupe river rose 26ft in 45 minutes. Bless all those that know about it and can help in any way. Donations of money, you know, donation of time. Be with all those that are. They're searching the river now for survivors. Hopefully, you know, none are forgotten and all the people are found. But we ask your divine intervention on that, Father, and we ask it through Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

[Si]

Amen.

[Martin]

Amen.

[Si]

All right, folks, we'll see y' all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out. Sam.
