Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Cold Weather Survival & Southern Panic

Timestamps: 00:37 – 09:59

• The group jokes about the chaos that ensues when cold weather visits Louisiana; kids are running loose in the office, and the prospect of power outages hangs over everyone’s head.
• Martin is ready with fire pits and chainsaws, while others prepare to “hunker down” under mountains of blankets.
  • Notable Quote (03:14, Martin): “You can’t even roll, you gonna… you just lay there because you can’t move.”
• Humorous skepticism about the South’s readiness as opposed to places like Minnesota, where freezing temperatures are routine.
  • Hunter: “I got a porch if it's that cold, and there's that outside.” (04:22)
• The gang mocks the local cold weather checklists (“fill up your bathtubs, get out your ice chest”), contrasting local infrastructure with northern preparedness.
• The conversation drifts to worries about keeping food cold (or warm), what to do if the power goes out, and whether kids can sleep without their white noise machines.

2. Big Freeze Plans & Apocalypse Food Chain

Timestamps: 09:59 – 15:26

• The guys riff about what they’d eat if things got desperate, with Martin jesting about shooting blackbirds in his yard (“just crack the window and shoot ‘em”, 12:03).
• Discussion of wild food source rankings—from yard birds to rabbits, squirrels, and, in the absolute worst case, pets.
  • Hunter: “I always told Stone, if the apocalypse happens, I’m just gonna walk down to his house. He can be in charge. Oh yeah, and he said, Johnny D, we’ll start with the squirrels and we’ll end with the dog.” (13:43)
  • Martin: “That’s the last move. That’s when you’re down to starvation.” (14:12)
• Lighthearted debate about what animals are acceptable to eat, referencing an old “pet vs. food” billboard and teasing each other over where they draw the line.

3. Wildlife Tangents: Trees, Rabbits, and Zebras

Timestamps: 06:45 – 19:33

• The group gets sidetracked with stories of icy trees in Minnesota “exploding” because of internal stresses.
  • Johnny D: “How cool is that?” (06:52)
  • Hunter: “That’s not cool at all.” (06:56)
• Martin reminisces about the abundance of wild rabbits and the predatory big cats that followed them, prompting a brief, comic brainstorm about zebra domestication and “zebra races.”
  • Christine: “Do you think anyone has done that [domesticate zebras]?” (18:13)
  • Martin: “I guarantee you before I would walk, if I was on the continent of Africa, I would rope me a zebra and ride it.” (19:46)

4. Food Adventures: Sushi, Ramen, and American Fusion

Timestamps: 22:48 – 30:08

• A segment on sushi—some love it, others are repulsed, and everyone’s suspicious of sushi riding a conveyor belt in Texas.
  • Johnny D: “Sushi’s pretty looking. Yeah, you know, it’s prettier looking? Pizza.” (23:51)
• There are lively anecdotes about fancy ramen restaurants, DIY duck ramen in the field, and the joys of eating international cuisine in America.
  • Johnny D: “That place, it might be the best restaurant we have in town.” (29:07)

5. Dream Interpretations & Reminiscences

Timestamps: 30:20 – 39:01

• The crew receives a “complete dictionary of dreams” and interpret recent and recurring dreams.
  • Notable Segment: Si mentions his repetitive dream about driving through mud and mountains, which the dream dictionary equates to pushing through life’s obstacles.
  • Hunter: “The mountain is symbolic for a newly formed high vantage place…” (32:18)
• Christine describes weird, vivid dreams after late-night bathroom trips, leading to a group discussion about REM sleep and data-tracking using Garmin devices.

6. Fitness Trackers & Group Competition

Timestamps: 39:01 – 43:04

• The “Garmin group” is born: the hosts compare step counts and fitness “ages,” ribbing each other over tech usage and step leaderboards.
  • Martin: “That’s a handy gadget to have when that happens—gun, yeah, ‘cause, yeah, you know?” (41:32)
  • Laughter over Martin’s nonchalant reference to a gun as a “gadget.”
• Discussion about tracking life with wearables (“one for fun, one for steps”), emotional eating, and stress responses.

7. Audience Emails: Louisiana Travel Tips & Heavy Topics

Timestamps: 46:31 – 54:17

• Listener Amber jokes about firing Johnny D as email reader, but is quickly forgiven.
  • Hunter: “By we, we’re gonna turn that W upside down and make it a me. There’s just a lot of them [emails].” (47:15)
• James, a Wisconsin law enforcement officer, asks for Louisiana travel recommendations—crew suggests:
  • One day in New Orleans for “culinary experience” (French Quarter, Commander’s Palace, Café Du Monde)
  • Lafayette for unique gas station food (boudin, cracklings)
  • Angola Prison Rodeo, if timing is right (“cooler than you think”)
• James shares about losing his father to a heart attack in November and requests prayer for all who’ve lost loved ones.

8. Closing Prayer & Community

Timestamps: 53:15 – End

• The podcast closes with Hunter leading an earnest prayer for James and all listeners experiencing loss:
  • Hunter (53:18): “Father, we just... thank you for the opportunity to do this podcast... help us to know it’s not our job to know why. It’s our job to trust in you… and trust that one day, through your son, Jesus, we will all be together where there will be no heartache, no pain, no tears, and there will be joy and laughter...”
  • Light-hearted send-off: “Wouldn’t that be cool if there was just chicken skins everywhere?”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Martin on Surviving Cold Nights (03:14): “Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. And there’s rows. You can’t even roll. You just lay there because you can’t move.”

  • Martin: “Oh, hey, they're easy.”

Trust that one day, through your son, Jesus, we will all be together where there will be no heartache, no pain, no tears, and there will be joy and laughter, and hopefully somebody from Lafayette brings chicken skins, and it’s in his name we pray. Amen.”

Transcript

[Johnny D]

She's saying. She's saying, dad, I can go now.

[Martin]

I'm talking about.

[Johnny D]

But it sure is slippery.

[Martin]

Yeah. He said, let me get this alligator.

[Christine]

She's thinking it's too sleuth. I don't ever get on a dinner table.

[Martin]

Dad.

[Johnny D]

Yeah?

[Hunter]

We got a dog on the table. Welcome back.

[Johnny D]

Welcome back to the duck call room. You never know who you're gonna have. And we have our special guest Dixie in here.

[Hunter]

It's a dog. It's on the table.

[Johnny D]

I don't know. Bella's dog, Jacob's dog, whoever. Their dog. I don't know. Who's dog? Brown dog.

[Martin]

We did discover a family pet. Why?

[Hunter]

It doesn't like me.

[Martin]

Jacob just happened to take duck hunting with him. When he goes.

[Hunter]

She growled it.

[Martin]

Dixie. Is that right?

[Hunter]

Yeah, it's a pretty dog. But she growled at me again when I walked in. But turns out she also growled at Hunter here.

[Johnny D]

Oh, she don't like Star Wars.

[Hunter]

She don't like nerds is what we.

[Christine]

That's a choice.

[Hunter]

But we're in it together, though, Hunter.

[Johnny D]

It just seeps out your pores.

[Hunter]

Yep. She can sniff a weakling when she sees one.

[Johnny D]

Ah, I won't rouse at us. I wonder what that is about.

[Christine]

She likes Hunter. Now I got her.

[Hunter]

Yeah, it takes her a second. She don't trust us, and now she does.

[Christine]

I made her get a little belly rub from. I think they're friends.

[Johnny D]

And. And just fair warning, if I have to get up and leave, it's because my kids are here. So wrecking shots.

[Hunter]

Tried to get them to hang out.

[Johnny D]

Dad. Dad forgot snacks and they were not interested.

[Martin]

Oh, that ain't good.

[Johnny D]

The good news is they know where Christy's toy chest is, so. Probably. And they're destroying Christie's office, so it's fine.

[Hunter]

Run wild, children.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, run wild. It'd be all right. Hashtag family business.

[Hunter]

The duck commander, Family daycare.

[Johnny D]

Oh, man. No, it's here. Man, the big freeze is coming. Look, if y'. All. I guess by the time this airs, though, it's. It's gonna be over.

[Hunter]

It'll be the big thaw.

[Johnny D]

Hopefully y' all have power to watch this on YouTube or to charge your phones or listen to this. I'm not sure. But, man, if you do, be sure.

[Hunter]

To like and subscribe.

[Johnny D]

Tuesday.

[Christine]

It'll still be frozen. Yeah, but 19 for the.

[Johnny D]

I just hope we got power. Yeah, that's the one. Like, it's about to get cold for somebody. Ain't got a fireplace, so.

[Christine]

Right.

[Hunter]

I got three Fire pits and one fireplace, and I'm ready to burn stuff.

[Johnny D]

And you're surrounded by trees. I got a chainsaw, buddy. Figure it out.

[Christine]

We have power. Because I'm gonna be in the woods and belly gonna be at the house.

[Martin]

Oh, boy.

[Johnny D]

Go to the woods. You may get stuck there, so better prepare accordingly.

[Hunter]

Oh, I know I'm not getting without a walking distance of Big Dave's house.

[Christine]

Oh, yeah.

[Hunter]

It ain't gonna lose power, and it's gonna have good food.

[Johnny D]

I'm gonna start crowding that sucker, too. I'm just gonna look up. Y' all gonna look up. Make gonna be a Kawasaki in the driveway and Martin's back.

[Christine]

You can sleep in that thing.

[Johnny D]

Honestly, you could. I don't want to. It's nice. It's got a heater, but I don't know that it can keep up with 16 degrees, 15 degrees.

[Hunter]

What's your plans for the big freeze?

[Johnny D]

Do nothing.

[Martin]

Hunker down.

[Johnny D]

Hunker down.

[Christine]

Snuggling up.

[Johnny D]

You got a generator.

[Christine]

You're gonna be snuggled up with them blankets.

[Martin]

Oh, oh, hey, that snuggle up, Ms. Christine.

[Johnny D]

Oh, here we go.

[Christine]

You say you had, like, you put on, like, 10 blankets at night?

[Martin]

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah. And there's rows.

[Martin]

It was just. You can't even roll. You gonna. You gonna add any more once you get in? You just lay there because you can't.

[Christine]

Move a little side a little bit.

[Johnny D]

Oh, man.

[Martin]

Too heavy.

[Johnny D]

It does stink. That it waited till all the way to right now to get.

[Christine]

Oh, I know.

[Martin]

Typical.

[Hunter]

It's doing it.

[Martin]

It's typical. Last few days, it'd be. It'll be a. Shoot them up.

[Christine]

What's like February. March is usually our coldest years. I feel like the last five years.

[Hunter]

I have a just burning question to ask, though.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

We get these checklists of rules when this happens down here.

[Christine]

Right.

[Hunter]

And it's all very foolishness because I don't think people in Minnesota are filling up their bathtubs with water to flush the toilet. Why. Why do we have to do that? And they're. They're cool. They're just like, oh, it's 18 inches of snow.

[Martin]

We're good.

[Johnny D]

Oh, because they got the infrastructure. I was just about to say there's better pipes ready for.

[Christine]

Yeah, Infrastructure.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Just like, if. If it were to get 105 up there, they'd be folks dropping like flies because their air conditioners ain't big enough to keep their house cool. And like. Yeah, well, there was another.

[Hunter]

That checklist said be sure. To have plenty of ice chest available in case you're refrigerator and freezer goes out. I said, gang, I got a porch if it's that cold and there's that outside.

[Johnny D]

A lot of truth to that rules. I think that's just for the longevity of how long we could potentially be without power.

[Christine]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

So because I mean, technically your refrigerator and freezer are both ice chests. They're kind of what they do.

[Martin]

Yeah. If you don't open it.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. If you just leave it closed.

[Martin]

That's kind of their thing taking a while for it.

[Hunter]

I'm just going to go out on.

[Johnny D]

The front, but if anybody needs a yeti, I got some. So I got plenty of them.

[Hunter]

I got a couple.

[Johnny D]

But yeah, if your.

[Christine]

If your power is not underground, probably going to go out.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Ours is buried, but I mean it doesn't matter if the transmission stuff. So we'll see. We'll see what happens. Hunter, what are you planning on doing? You got any. You got any shows downloaded? What you. What's your.

[Hunter's Kid]

I'm so excited.

[Martin]

I got blankets.

[Hunter's Kid]

I got.

[Martin]

I got it. He's prepared.

[Christine]

He's been waiting for this moment.

[Hunter's Kid]

Warm drinks, blankets, movies. I'm. I cannot wait.

[Johnny D]

Hunter said locked inside sounds great.

[Hunter]

That's why that all crowded. You, man.

[Martin]

Me.

[Hunter's Kid]

No one's gonna come over. No one's gonna ask anything of me. It's. It's my ideal weekend.

[Hunter]

Martin, bring that Kawasaki. We're showing up to Hunters.

[Martin]

Yeah, ideal weekend.

[Johnny D]

Boy, I'll be pulling Johnny D on.

[Hunter's Kid]

A trash can to your house unless you do that. Then I have weekend plans.

[Christine]

I can see Hunter in like a parka inside.

[Martin]

So weird.

[Christine]

16 degrees just like is that you.

[Martin]

Go to different places and it can be that cold and it ain't that cold.

[Christine]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Martin]

Because I went. I went to. Well, we hunted Rio Grande in New Mexico. Yeah, it was six.

[Hunter]

Nah.

[Martin]

And I wasn't cold.

[Christine]

Yeah, I was. Colorado, it ain't a.

[Martin]

It ain't a wet cold like Louisiana.

[Christine]

When I go to Colorado, it's like that.

[Johnny D]

I've already been in single degrees once this year and it wasn't that bad. But we were in north Missouri, so.

[Martin]

Well, no, no, that's why I'm saying it's tolerable. It's weird. Yeah. Because if you get to six degrees here.

[Johnny D]

But it's been 75 years.

[Christine]

Yeah, yeah, it's.

[Hunter]

I went on a walk outside this morning. I was like. I got sweaty and I was like, how's this going to happen?

[Johnny D]

I'll be Interested to see what all our trees do because a lot of them butted out when we had like that second week in the 80s, so. And now they're about to get dough popped.

[Christine]

They're going to get by ice.

[Hunter]

And speaking of trees.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

And Minnesota, did you see the warning they got?

[Johnny D]

Oh yeah. Exploding trees. How cool is that?

[Hunter]

That's not cool at all.

[Christine]

Was it ice?

[Hunter]

It's so cold in Minnesota right now. It's a tree that the trees will just blow up.

[Christine]

Like do we have a video this what it could potentially do. Is it like blow up or like that? Just like crack from inside. You know what I mean?

[Hunter]

I don't know.

[Johnny D]

Is it exploding? I don't.

[Christine]

I want to see this.

[Hunter]

I'll see if I can. I didn't.

[Johnny D]

I don't know if it's like cracking an egg or wave. Somebody from Minnesota holler at us, tell us what that's about.

[Christine]

Send us a video.

[Johnny D]

Videos. Hopefully it doesn't affect your house.

[Christine]

Crack.

[Hunter]

I'm trying to read but michigan.com.

[Christine]

When I think of exploding, I think of fire. I'm like, does it. It's not.

[Johnny D]

I'm just thinking about a bunch of shrapnel. Just like toothpicks going everywhere.

[Christine]

Yeah, that too.

[Johnny D]

But the. What are they saying now? How bad is it going?

[Hunter]

When temperatures drop, the bark shrinks, but the inner wood takes a bit longer to cool down. If the temperature drop is sudden, this causes unequal contraction between and inner wood tissues, causing a frost crack. This sudden split can even cause a.

[Johnny D]

Loud bang bang, baby.

[Martin]

Why did it will. But it will explode?

[Christine]

Oh yeah, it'll definitely go.

[Hunter]

Why did people just say this is where we're settling this pretty wild where.

[Martin]

The trees kind of like guns that cold.

[Christine]

They just. I wonder if it like shoots out or it just falls. You know what I mean, man? Like if it cuts in half or it kind of like just shoots out.

[Martin]

What happens when. When the. When the wood. The wood petrified. What happens there?

[Hunter]

Petrified.

[Christine]

Petrified wood.

[Johnny D]

I don't know nothing about petrified wood. I found some, but that's not all I know about it.

[Christine]

Let us know about the petrified.

[Martin]

Well, no, no, because that's pretty wild there.

[Christine]

Yeah, it is.

[Martin]

Into rock. Yeah, I mean literally turns into rock.

[Johnny D]

I just wonder how much of this stuff we gonna get.

[Christine]

Yeah, me too.

[Johnny D]

That's the big wonder.

[Hunter]

Well, just Jared Floyd.

[Martin]

Not very much.

[Christine]

I don't trust any meteorologist.

[Hunter]

I trust J.

[Christine]

Him because he.

[Johnny D]

Well, it's only going to be about two days worth of Bag.

[Martin]

Well, no, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Short duration by two days.

[Johnny D]

A long time. When you got twin three year olds.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

And you stuck inside, you want to.

[Christine]

Take them on a little ride in the cow.

[Johnny D]

Well, I got to figure out how they going to sleep without their sound machine, But I got my little lithium power station that'll. That'll run them for a. For a minute. They'll run them all night anyway.

[Hunter]

I'm just winging it.

[Johnny D]

Just winging it. Just going on, see what happens.

[Christine]

Yeah, I feel like that's how it is. They're gonna say whatever they say, and it could snow, you know, five inches or never.

[Johnny D]

Well, I'm not worried about food. Right. Like, right. Got a gas griddle. Got freezers full of ducks, deer, fish. Like, I'm not worried about eating right. That. That's not an issue. But why is. What a cold.

[Hunter]

Why is everybody so concerned with the toilet paper?

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I'm not. No, I'm not going to crap that much either.

[Hunter]

Yeah, we'll be able to leave on Wednesday, y'.

[Johnny D]

All.

[Christine]

Yeah, some people get anxious, you know.

[Johnny D]

We'Ll be able to get out and about.

[Hunter]

Remember back in the day when you had to get an Excel sheet and try and break down your whole budget and do it all yourself? And you had to learn Excel, too.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah.

[Hunter]

So much easier now with Rocket Money.

[Johnny D]

Oh, that's all you got to do is download the Rocket Money app and then put all your stuff in there. Put all your information.

They gonna give it to you.

[Johnny D]

It tracks it for you. Look, Rocket Money is the personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions. It monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so that you can grow your savings.

[Hunter]

Them subscriptions. Scary. Remember when I had that wine box subscription I didn't know about?

[Johnny D]

That's not near as atrocious as the high school football in the state of Colorado.

[Hunter]

A lot of weird subscriptions. I know. I used to. But now I have Rocket Money.

[Johnny D]

You can see all your subscriptions in one place, including the ones that you forgot about. And if you see something you don't want, Rocket Money helps you cancel it.

[Martin]

Well, I know what I do.

[Christine]

Talking about food, what you gonna do?

[Martin]

I just loaded 28 gauge. I got go out, shoot me about 25 or 50 blackbirds that are in the yard.

[Christine]

Sounds tasteful.

[Johnny D]

You ain't going outside. Quit.

[Hunter]

Oh, no, I wouldn't if he was starving.

[Christine]

What kind of jacket you going to wear when you walk?

[Martin]

Boom, boom, boom. Go pick them up. Come in.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, he liable to just crack the window.

[Martin]

Shoot them and go get them.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, raise away.

[Martin]

That's. That's happened. Yeah, that was one of the things I used to joy about when I was a kid. Yeah, all the birds were easier to kill. There was snow on the ground. Ain't no hiding.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, okay.

[Christine]

Got a good background, huh?

[Martin]

Yeah, like a Robbie. And you ate Robbie gets bright.

[Christine]

Okay, which one tastes best?

[Martin]

Oh, no.

[Johnny D]

Oh, they're good eating Brown thrasher.

[Martin]

Hey, look, a brown thrasher is a. A quail.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Martin]

It's white meat.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

But now there was a party thrown when I killed a brown threshold.

[Christine]

Oh, dude, quail tastes so good.

[Martin]

That thing was. Hey, that was. That's a quail.

[Hunter]

Those kind of birds don't taste the same anymore, though, because now their diets like Walmart, parking lot cigarette butts.

[Martin]

So. Well, now.

[Johnny D]

Well, they're not real, right? Yeah, they're all drones.

[Hunter]

We could find out this week. Disappointed in that movement. It really died off. That guy was in charge of. That was hilarious. And he just gave up on the dream, man.

[Johnny D]

He sold enough stickers. He said, all right, I'm out.

[Hunter]

I'm good. See ya.

[Johnny D]

Oh, man. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see what happens. I know this place is gonna shut down.

[Hunter]

So in the apocalypse, you're just taking out the yard birds?

[Martin]

Oh, hey, they're easy.

[Johnny D]

Well, you start on your porch, you kill what's close, and then you start expanding from there.

[Martin]

So look. Hey, all you gotta do is crumble some bread. Pulled out there. Hey, yo, shoot gallery.

[Johnny D]

Oh, he's baiting now.

[Christine]

He's baiting.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, we bait and the apocalypse.

[Hunter]

All's fair.

[Johnny D]

I don't disagree. Yeah.

[Hunter]

I always told Stone, if the apocalypse happens, I'm just gonna walk down to his house. He can be in charge. Just tell me what to do. Oh, yeah, and he said, johnny D. We'll start with the squirrels and we'll end with the dog.

[Johnny D]

There's plenty of both in that neighborhood.

[Martin]

You hear that? Depending on how bad it gets and on how bad is how low we go.

[Christine]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

So he puts the cats before the dogs. That's interesting.

[Hunter]

We ain't got no.

[Martin]

Oh, that's the last. That's the last move.

[Christine]

The cat, not Taco Bell.

[Martin]

That's when you. You're down to starvation.

[Christine]

Taco Bell. That's first on list.

[Johnny D]

Not if you were in 2024 through the Midwest. Remember, they're eating a pet. Oh, never mind. That's just a blast from the past.

[Hunter]

Eating the dogs.

[Johnny D]

Eating our dogs, man. Dogs.

[Christine]

That's terrible.

[Hunter]

I. I'm not interested.

[Johnny D]

That's reaching there, man.

[Christine]

I have to be in a pinch.

[Martin]

I always like to get conversations going with this. With people that. That, you know, they're not. They're not country people.

[Christine]

Yeah.

[Martin]

And then you ask them, tell me, well, what would it take, you know, before you would eat, you know, your pets? Oh, they were saying, oh, I know I would never get that hungry. I said, wrong answer.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, you would.

[Christine]

You would get that hungry.

[Martin]

Hey, you'll be surprised what you will say. I'm gonna try that.

[Johnny D]

Now, the good news is I'm stocked up enough. Or. That's a long time before I. Yeah.

[Martin]

I had to go to my pants.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

This is that billboard that used to have all the animals on it. And it said, oh, where do I rank pet or food? Where do I write? Where do you draw the line? And there was a very clear line, like between the cow and the dog of where everybod Draw the line.

[Johnny D]

Right here.

[Hunter]

Yeah, that.

[Johnny D]

Right here.

[Hunter]

Yeah. That's where I'm eating. That's what I'm not.

[Martin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Hunter]

Although the rabbit was on the wrong side of that line, if I remember right. Definitely edible.

[Christine]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny D]

Ain't no doubt of you.

[Christine]

Thumper's getting smacked. You know what I mean?

[Hunter]

We don't have enough wild rabbits here.

[Christine]

I've seen some recently.

[Martin]

Well, we used to. What guy upstairs, did you get them? Hey. Oh, what are you talking about? Down at Fields there, you know, I mean, I would see, like, one Hundred.

[Johnny D]

Really?

[Martin]

Going down for nothing in the wee hours of the morning.

[Christine]

No.

[Martin]

Leanne, where you turn on Leander Road down the field.

[Hunter]

There's rabbits everywhere.

[Martin]

There was rabbits everywhere. And there was always big cats everywhere.

[Christine]

Oh, gosh.

[Martin]

Those both tracks.

[Hunter]

Wait, like how big of a.

[Martin]

Like a black panther.

[Christine]

Oh, goodness. I'm starting.

[Martin]

I mean. I mean, heights. It was regular opposite. This way. It was regular sightings. Okay. On Phil's property after rains with the rabbits were there. Man. Then guess what? No rabbits. Guess what. No. No cat tracks. None.

[Hunter]

So in order to find a black.

[Johnny D]

Panther, you need rabbit food source.

[Hunter]

We just need to go to the pet store.

[Martin]

No. No food source.

[Hunter]

And release a bunch of rabbits on.

[Martin]

Food Source Paramount in their world.

[Christine]

Shout out petco.

[Johnny D]

And there's one way to make a bunch of rabbits is put a few of them together.

[Christine]

Oh, yeah, they do like that.

[Johnny D]

Get repopulated.

[Martin]

Get half and half.

[Johnny D]

Yep.

[Martin]

10 males, 10 females. And hey, come back two weeks later, you got 50 rabbits.

[Christine]

Now reproduction.

[Martin]

You know that commercial Energizer Bungee. Hey, that's all tapness.

[Johnny D]

Going around banging a drum.

[Martin]

Oh, hey, baby. All right.

[Hunter]

I feel like rabbits really fell out of style.

[Christine]

He's saying, them rabbits, they're always in the rut.

[Martin]

So, hey, that's it. Hey, the run is always on with rabbits.

[Hunter]

I don't even know how to handle this.

[Johnny D]

I don't either.

[Hunter]

Because I was just thinking about how rabbits aren't cool anymore and they used to be. Everything used to be a rabbit.

[Johnny D]

Well, that's because they cut off batteries.

[Hunter]

Hey, cereal cartoons.

[Christine]

Dude.

[Hunter]

Where the rabbits at now?

[Christine]

Like, rabbits used to be. Or like a bunny used to be, like, the best. What would you show and tell when you're like, kindergarten, you know?

[Hunter]

Oh, the kid that would bring the.

[Christine]

Rabbit was always like, look, there's Easter. My bunny. And he's like, this has a big old brown.

[Martin]

Every time I see. Every time I stayed. What is in zebras? Every time a zebra. I can't believe they didn't domestic. Domesticate them and rattle.

[Johnny D]

Zero. No. Is there.

[Christine]

Do you think anyone has done that?

[Hunter]

I was looking up what animals reproduce the fastest.

[Martin]

Hey, the wild mustangs. Hey, we roped them and rolled.

[Christine]

There's got to be somebody that's super rich that owns a zebra.

[Hunter]

And they got by Candy Lake. Used to have zebras.

[Johnny D]

No, I'm saying.

[Christine]

But, like, rides one. I could just see a super rich.

[Hunter]

No, no, no. They got zebra races in. In the Middle east.

[Christine]

No, they don't.

[Hunter]

1,000 up.

[Christine]

I'm trying to see that you don't know about zebra. They throw money on it.

[Martin]

They do have camel races in the desert.

[Christine]

Yeah, Boom.

[Hunter]

Right there.

[Martin]

That's for sure. No way.

[Hunter]

Google zebra race.

[Martin]

I've never seen this. Hey, I've never seen that before. They do ride them.

[Johnny D]

They.

[Christine]

That's actually really cool.

[Martin]

They got a bunch of clowns riding a bunch of.

[Christine]

I wonder.

[Hunter]

Those aren't clowns. Those are just human beings in bright colored uniform.

[Johnny D]

Jockeys, if you will.

[Christine]

I wonder what the difference in speed, how much faster or vice versa. Who's faster? A zebra or like a mustang?

[Johnny D]

On. I'm more interested. Way more interested in your list.

[Martin]

By the way, the fast, probably the mustang.

[Hunter]

It's not right. It really skips.

[Johnny D]

But does it?

[Martin]

May not. It might. It may not be.

[Christine]

Secretary.

[Martin]

No, no. Yeah, because it may not be because hey, you know, there's a lot of space things chase zebras.

[Christine]

That's what I'm saying.

[Martin]

I don't know. Yeah, that may be the other ways.

[Hunter]

Hold on. They do it in Delaware.

[Johnny D]

What?

[Martin]

Zebra races at the Delaware park. But I just wondered why they didn't domesticate them.

[Hunter]

Did you not just see those people try to ride them?

[Christine]

I don't think they like.

[Martin]

Hey, I know, but just. Hey, look, yo, what figured out. I guarantee you before I would walk, if I was on the continent of Africa, I would rope me a zebra and ride it.

[Hunter]

Well, they did that with camels.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, they figured out the camel was way more friendly.

[Martin]

Easier. It's easier to fool with the camera.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Only thing you got to worry about is pissed on you.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, a big old tongue.

[Martin]

He chews tobacco and spit. Spits a lot. Oh, I'm sad. And what is it? What name did you just say? Peru. And Adams from Peru. Chew and spit too.

[Johnny D]

Amaz. Alpaca.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

I'm a llama red pajama.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Oh, I've read that book too many times.

[Hunter]

Yeah, Ludicrous. Does a great one.

[Johnny D]

Does he?

[Hunter]

Oh yeah. Look it up. It's fun.

[Christine]

Like the rapper. Yeah, nice.

[Hunter]

Llama llama. Hey, Red pajama.

[Johnny D]

It's. It's really.

[Hunter]

Oh yeah. That's how I said. That's how I read it every time.

[Johnny D]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Hunter]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny D]

Really spiced up. Llama, llama red pajama in our bedtime store. Hey, pipe down, Hunter. You get. You have kids. One day you'll know. Do anything. Yo, if they want to read Llama Llama red Pajama, you. You just sit there and read it.

[Hunter]

But the way you make it enjoyable for you is you get Ludacris to read it to your children. Luda, Luna.

Lottie's got this new thing where she gets a thing in the mail and teaches you how to cook something. And last week was sushi. Yeah, it wasn't terrible, but I don't like sushi.

[Johnny D]

Oh, really? What?

[Hunter]

It's just not good food.

[Johnny D]

Oh, man, I love it.

[Christine]

That's crazy work.

[Hunter]

I'd rather deconstruct it and make it a jambalaya.

[Christine]

You should work at a worm shop.

[Johnny D]

Now a bowl Is great.

[Hunter]

Like, no, but, like, caging it up and making.

[Martin]

Who come up with sushi?

[Johnny D]

Who?

[Martin]

Lazy people. What?

[Johnny D]

You ain't ever tried to make it to you because there's way too many steps.

[Martin]

It looked difficult.

[Hunter]

I was like, just put all that stuff in a bowl.

[Christine]

What kind of sushi did you make?

[Hunter]

I didn't do nothing.

[Christine]

I just said, what did they make for you?

[Johnny D]

I saw some crab and tuna and something. I don't know. Yeah, I saw your wife.

[Christine]

I love roll.

[Hunter]

I felt bad about that because Alice was like, I got you tuna so there's more protein. I said, here's the problem.

[Johnny D]

Which way you talked about that?

[Hunter]

I was like, your boy ain't eating fish. That's the wrong color.

[Martin]

I'm gonna say one thing about it is pretty looking.

[Johnny D]

Watch that.

[Hunter]

Sushi's pretty looking. Yeah, you know, it's prettier looking.

[Martin]

They roll it up and, you know, they roll it up in little nice rolls, and it's all these different colors.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Pizza. Way prettier.

[Johnny D]

But y' all put, like. Did y' all put, like, cucumber and asparagus and all that stuff in.

[Hunter]

There's all sorts of weird stuff.

[Johnny D]

Cream cheese.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

I had a roll, just, you know, just for fun.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Then I went and found some chicken nuggets my dad fried last Sunday.

[Johnny D]

Then I went back to America.

[Hunter]

Thank you.

[Martin]

A little bit of fire to it.

[Hunter's Kid]

Can I send you a video of a. Of a sushi bar that I went or. It's not a bar bar, but it's called a. Oh, the Hunter's.

[Hunter]

Like, I'm still Christian, guys. I didn't go to a bar bar. I went to a sushi bar.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, y' all stay off me in the comments. Yeah, I do have a drink every once in a while, but, you know.

[Hunter]

The Golden Corral Bar and Buffett. Okay to say a buffet bar.

[Johnny D]

Man made it. Ate a chocolate fountain, but it's close.

[Hunter]

Send me the video. Hunter, I'm so excited.

[Johnny D]

What is it you had them make? You videoed the guys making it?

[Hunter]

I just looked over at Hunter, and he was scrolling through his phone with the speed I've never seen before.

[Johnny D]

Wow. How long ago was it you were there?

[Hunter's Kid]

August.

[Hunter]

Just type in the word sushi, man. It's 20, 26.

[Hunter's Kid]

It's. It's like. It's a conveyor belt of sushi. So you just sit down at it.

[Johnny D]

No. You didn't go to rock and roll Sushi did you know, it's.

[Hunter's Kid]

I forgot what it was called, but it was in Texas.

[Martin]

Hold on.

[Christine]

It's good.

[Johnny D]

What time?

[Hunter]

Hold on.

[Johnny D]

Sushi on a conveyor belt in Texas.

[Hunter]

So many problems.

[Johnny D]

Is this when you went to the Barbie movie?

[Hunter's Kid]

No, that's when I went to go see a band.

[Johnny D]

Christian metal is this. Give it up for Jesus Christ.

[Hunter's Kid]

My. My Chemical Romance.

[Christine]

Oh, I know. My Chemical Romance.

[Hunter]

Hunter really would have thrived.

[Christine]

Assembly line.

[Johnny D]

You just grabbed it as it went by. If you liked it, how did they.

[Hunter]

Know what to charge you?

[Hunter's Kid]

They charged you by plate. And you put your plate into a. A thing that just, like, takes it and it just counts how many plates you.

[Martin]

You.

[Hunter]

I don't like the future. I used to like the future, but now the future is getting too far.

[Johnny D]

What happens if you throw your plate.

[Christine]

On the ground, break it?

[Hunter's Kid]

They ask you to leave?

[Hunter]

What happens if it's.

[Johnny D]

What if you grab the wrong one? I want to be charged for something that's trash.

[Hunter]

Is there a sneeze guard like at Golden Corral? Because what if the person on the conveyor belt before you sneezes on it?

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Your placement on the belt is key in this deal.

[Hunter]

Yeah. I don't like this place. Yeah, there was a Popeyes. A Popeyes conveyor belt. A chicken. I'd be there.

[Johnny D]

Hunter, I'm not one to micromanage you, but I could be back to August in my phone way quicker than that. I don't know what all you're documenting on there, but August wasn't that long ago.

[Hunter]

They are about Hunter, was it? Oh, they cover it. It's in, like, a bowl, so you don't get. There is a sneeze guard.

[Martin]

What is that something? Looked like two big shrimp, I think it was.

[Christine]

What kind of sushi was.

[Hunter]

That's eel.

[Johnny D]

That's nigiri or something.

[Hunter]

All right, we've gone too far.

[Johnny D]

That wasn't even sushi because that was just sitting on a bed around.

[Christine]

You like sashimi.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Hunter]

That Raymond noodle place in town's awesome.

[Johnny D]

What about that? Now, you talked about Naruto place just on your. Just on your Instagram stories. What is that?

[Hunter]

So you know how I've always said you want, you know, the. The vibe to be right in a restaurant? You don't. You don't want to walk into the Hibachi and be a bunch of white dudes.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christine]

Or you leave.

[Hunter]

So there's this place over in Monroe. I was like, let's try it. It's ramen noodles. And they make fancy ramen noodles now.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah.

[Christine]

I love ramen Ramen's good.

[Hunter]

So it's pretty good. I've always had it in the package.

[Christine]

Katsu.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Yeah, that was there. So I walk in and it's like. It's like Hunter opened a restaurant because there's like Japanese cartoons everywhere. What's it called? Anime.

[Johnny D]

Everybody wearing dark colored hoodies. Yeah.

[Hunter]

There's a lot of band T shirts.

[Martin]

A bleached hair, bad scare.

[Johnny D]

But then I'm like, did it smell weird?

[Martin]

No, not different color hair.

[Hunter]

I really expected to walk in and it'd be like this super like. Like I thought. All right, let's just say I thought, like, it'd be a fourth grader checking me out and a couple other kids working.

[Johnny D]

You thought you were going to Eastern?

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

But that wasn't. Was just a bunch of hunters working at a Japanese restaurant together.

[Johnny D]

Hey, well, ramen ain't nothing but broth and noodles.

[Hunter]

No, sir, it is much more than that. It is heaven in a bowl.

[Johnny D]

Oh, I don't disagree. That's what I love about ramen.

[Hunter]

This place was phenomenal.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

And I was actually. I was trying to go back last night, but Allison had to do something. I was sad.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

When I tell you, I wish I, whatever that guy's name is, started that joint. I wish I was him on the cold front because he'd just be sitting at home making deliciously hot soup with noodles and.

[Christine]

What'd you get?

[Hunter]

I don't even know.

[Christine]

Naruto.

[Hunter]

Couldn't tell what it was in the box.

[Johnny D]

The name of it.

[Christine]

Naruto.

[Hunter]

Oh, no. I got the order.

[Johnny D]

No, the name of the place.

[Hunter]

Oh, Naruto Ramen is Naruto. Is that a cartoon?

[Hunter's Kid]

It is an anime, but I've heard it. Naruto and Naruto. So I, I.

[Hunter]

Well, bro, I can't. Look, I'm with you. Star Wars. I draw a line somewhere. Yeah, but it. It is. It is so good, it hurts. But it was so spicy too.

[Johnny D]

Where is it?

[Hunter]

Over by the college. Well, when you leave, you should get you a bowl of ramen noodles. That place, it might be the best restaurant we have in town.

[Christine]

It's a best restaurant.

[Hunter's Kid]

It's a chain. So I. I know there's another one somewhere in Texas, but it's a chain all over the country.

[Johnny D]

Man.

[Christine]

Why is everything.

[Hunter]

There's only two. I looked it up. Deep Dove.

[Hunter's Kid]

This if you one is also Texas, because I port.

[Johnny D]

Oh, I do like ramen.

[Christine]

You have one at Shreveport.

[Hunter]

This place is where the guy that.

[Johnny D]

We hunted with in Missouri made one Night where he. He called it duck ramen, which he just made a really spicy broth. There's some ramen noodles in it and then there's some duck meat in seared duck. He seared a bunch of duck breasts and sliced it thin, lay it on top of it and it was fantastic.

[Christine]

Sounds like it.

[Johnny D]

Then we took the leftover noodles and dumped them in a gumbo the next day and ate them in a duck blind. So. Hey, gumbo with Robin.

[Martin]

Really fantastic stuff.

[Johnny D]

They know how to make a broth.

[Hunter]

That's actually probably the best part about being an American. You get everybody everybody else's food.

[Martin]

Hey, Vietnam and it's great. My son used to make. Hey, if you got a cold, go to get you a bowl of soup. Mom song. Hey, you ain't gonna go.

[Johnny D]

Y' all carry on without me for a minute.

[Martin]

Oh, yep. Martin's kids Kids are acting up, boys.

[Hunter]

Well, we'll carry on without you. I'll keep trucking because I have great news by but you are gonna miss the fact that we have the complete dictionary of dreams now for all of size dream interpretations.

[Martin]

I need to take that home and read some of it.

[Hunter]

Oh, what do you think? What was your last dream about?

[Martin]

Oh, my last dream was I was in fields four wheel drive just I mean pick up deep in mud. And I kept going because I knew if I once I stop I'd never get it out of there.

[Christine]

Right.

[Martin]

So I just kept the pedal to the metal and hey, you know. And I woke up and was literally poor out and out of breath from fighting that steering wheel in mud.

[Hunter]

Yeah, mud's not in here.

[Christine]

What. What is it? What's in there? What is the chapters called like?

[Hunter]

Oh, it's by it. If you have a certain thing in your.

[Martin]

You have a dream. This will tell you how to.

[Hunter]

How to interpret. You ever been on a dream on a Ferris wheel? Because I could tell you what it means.

[Christine]

I mean maybe.

[Martin]

I mean, here's my main dream. I've always. I get myself on a mountain. Yeah, well, I have to jump off of it.

[Christine]

They got that one.

[Martin]

It's the wildest thing it ever.

[Hunter]

Yo, it's got mountain and mountain lion. You ever dream about mountain lions?

[Martin]

No.

[Hunter]

Mountain. You are dreaming of challenges or obstacles that Obstacles.

[Martin]

Challenges.

[Christine]

Does it say obstacles like that in there? Yes, geez.

[Hunter]

I read it how I want, especially as they might relate to new ideas. You're 79 years. 78 years old.

[Martin]

78.

[Hunter]

Mountains are formed when two opposing vectors of movement in the earth. Well, that's Just the definition of a mountain.

[Martin]

No, because I always get. I always. I'm climbing.

[Christine]

I got one question, sir.

[Martin]

[Martin]

No, I think what I. Here's what I'm equated to.

[Christine]

All right?

[Martin]

I'm always. I'm always going to be on the high ground.

[Johnny D]

Right.

[Martin]

Well, I'm in control of the area.

[Hunter]

Obi Wan Kenobi.

[Johnny D]

Good. That's good.

[Martin]

Yeah. I'm serious.

[Christine]

[Hunter]

She got that full head of hair.

[Johnny D]

I never knew that there'd be that much shedding. But you know, it. It was a lot. It is no more because she started on postpartum and now she's graduated up to just the women's core for women under 45. So, you know, she's done the whole system. We got everybody on it now. Alicia's on it.

[Hunter]

Philip's wife Phillip's on it.

[Hunter]

Hold on. This book is awesome.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Where are we at on dreams?

[Hunter]

Have you ever had a dream about diarrhea? If you have. At the heart of the interpretation of this image in a dream is the lack of control that diarrhea represents. Something is out of control. Yeah, I'd say so.

[Christine]

Maybe your stomach.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Out of control.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. I haven't dreamed about it, but I've woke up in it.

[Hunter]

We found the mountain size just on the mountaintop. Looking down at everybody is basically. Basically what it says.

[Johnny D]

Oh, really?

[Martin]

I've got to have an advantage point of being. Have the high ground. Oh, I'm serious. Because I. That's my. That's the one that I do more often.

[Johnny D]

Why does he jump?

[Christine]

He has to give up. He has to give up his.

[Martin]

Get down.

[Johnny D]

You know, you got to get off.

[Martin]

I got to get off the high ground.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. There you go.

[Christine]

It relates.

[Martin]

What is. What's so wild about it is. It's like I was telling Jacob. I said, these are not little hills. These are some serious places I've got myself into. And the only way you can get.

[Hunter]

Out of it actually just interpreted is bailout Mount Drift. No, but that's where you want to be.

[Martin]

Bail out of it.

[Hunter]

Because you were in the lower depths of friction causing emotional states. But now in the long run, you have built new higher terrain upon which you can see more of your life.

[Martin]

And I can jump higher and further. Anybody.

[Johnny D]

Hunter, you had any weird dreams? I'd really like to interpret you. Not.

[Hunter's Kid]

Not recently. Man.

[Hunter]

Y' all are missing the most interesting man in this room. AKA Hunter. He said, I actually used to dream about fingernails a lot.

[Christine]

What.

[Johnny D]

What about them? That you had them.

[Hunter]

It's in the book.

[Martin]

It's had what?

[Christine]

Let's hear it.

[Hunter]

Oh, my goodness gracious. Sakes alive.

[Johnny D]

What I need to know.

[Hunter]

Fingernails are often adorned to draw attention to them. But they can also be a place where anxiety is expressed in the biting of them.

[Johnny D]

Well, ding, ding, ding.

[Hunter]

Either way, the creative expression associated with fingers as a symbol has the added distinction of adornment when fingernails are featured.

[Martin]

Creative. Creative fingers.

[Hunter]

Even if that adornment is the evidence of a nail biter. Are you a nail biter, Hunter?

[Hunter's Kid]

I am not.

[Hunter]

But you are creative.

[Hunter's Kid]

Yes.

[Johnny D]

Yes.

[Martin]

Are you anxious? Josh Allen is a nail bit.

[Hunter's Kid]

You know, some. Some may say that.

[Hunter]

Josh Allen. What does that got to do with anything?

[Martin]

Hey, you're talking about nail biters. He's a nail biter.

[Christine]

Ella invites her.

[Martin]

Now watch him when he's on the bench. He's over just on the bench. Yeah, on the bench. On the banks when he's. When he takes a sit out. He thought he eats his nails when.

[Hunter]

He takes it sit out. You don't want them things long look like a witch.

[Christine]

Hey, they're good for scratching. You don't like a back scratch?

[Hunter]

Don't touch me.

[Christine]

I'm saying if your wife was scratching your back. You don't like that?

[Martin]

I don't.

[Christine]

You don't like anyone scratching your head?

[Hunter]

Not with sharp objects. That hurts.

[Christine]

Really?

[Johnny D]

Geez.

[Christine]

Here I'm just talking about really a back scratch and a head massage.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, me too.

[Christine]

It's good.

[Johnny D]

Just saying.

[Christine]

Hey man, a door post hates to see me coming. I put my back in between it start rubbing.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I mean that like a sign.

[Christine]

Of the poo in that thing.

[Martin]

Like a big bear, polar bear or a grizzly bear on a tree.

[Johnny D]

Goblin big into that. I rub his back on everything.

[Christine]

I like it.

[Hunter]

Big Dave does it all around the store.

[Johnny D]

Does he got.

[Christine]

He's just laying his scent. He's making a little scrape certain dominance. He's a little buck rub right there.

[Johnny D]

I just wish I dreamed more, but.

[Hunter]

I don't like dreaming.

[Christine]

It's always my weirdest dreams for me is I'll go to sleep, then I'll wake up at like three or four o' clock and I'll pee and I'll go back to bed. And that dream, I'll have a dream between then and 8 o' clock and it'll be like the weirdest dream I've ever had in my life. And then I'll wake up and I'll forget it all, but I'll just feel so like out of it. Just like what just happened.

[Johnny D]

When do you dream? What stage of sleep?

[Christine]

REM sleep.

[Johnny D]

Is that REM sleep when you dream.

[Martin]

Hey, when he's talking about when he got up. Depends on what they want back sleep. That's rush sleep.

[Hunter]

Realm sleep.

[Christine]

Is that R?

[Martin]

Yeah, that's rush sleep. Rush sleep. That's why it's so weird. Yeah, you're trying. You. You're going back to sleep. You're. You're actually tireder than you normally are.

[Christine]

But I always have the weirdest dreams. Like in between that time.

[Martin]

No, no, never.

[Christine]

When I sleep fully. It's always that if I wake up and go back to sleep.

[Johnny D]

Man. Night before last I had almost two hours of REM sleep.

[Christine]

That's good.

[Johnny D]

That's why I was checking. I was like, huh.

[Hunter]

Martin loves all the data. Hey, you hadn't joined the group, man.

[Christine]

Oh, yeah. I was going to ask you how that was going.

[Hunter]

Yeah, I mean, join the group.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I'm in the group.

[Hunter]

I hadn't looked at the group.

[Johnny D]

Dude.

[Hunter]

The problem is we invited some nerd who apparently just runs his whole life.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Look, there I am. Justin Mark watched all Parish walking. I'm in the group. I'm in the duck call room. Garmin group.

[Hunter]

We have it.

[Johnny D]

If you got a Garmin, join the duck call room group.

[Hunter]

I'm in fourth place.

[Johnny D]

Martin.

[Martin]

Where?

[Hunter]

See, you're not on the leaderboard.

[Johnny D]

Are there competitions?

[Hunter]

You're not on the leaderboard. That's what I don't understand about who's number one. Some guy named Adam.

[Christine]

Adam.

[Hunter]

Shout out Adam. Some guy named Adam is walking 18, 000 steps a day. So he's. He's absolutely dying.

[Martin]

That might be Adam and Roach this week.

[Johnny D]

I've had 70, 000 steps. That's all I know.

[Christine]

70, 000 this week?

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Christine]

That's pretty good.

[Johnny D]

Well, I like it because I. I like going back and looking where I'm hunting. Hunting. I like watching and see what I did while I was hunting.

[Christine]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

You're gonna have to fix this for me.

[Hunter]

I'm gonna fix that. Also, we might not have told it. We did start the group. We put it up on Instagram. So if you want to join the group.

[Christine]

What's it called?

[Hunter]

It's Alcohol Room.

[Johnny D]

Okay.

[Hunter]

You just go to groups and if.

[Johnny D]

You have a guy.

[Hunter]

And we're gonna fix Martin so he'll show up on the leaderboard.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Christine]

Can y' all have a deal on a Garmin?

[Hunter's Kid]

We'll link it in the show notes.

[Johnny D]

No, we'll link it. $300. I didn't go with that. Big daddy.

[Christine]

How much is that one?

[Hunter]

Don't worry about it.

[Christine]

Y' all sell those at Honey Hole.

[Martin]

Don't worry about it.

[Christine]

No, y' all don't sell those. Come on. I'm trying to spend some money with you.

[Martin]

I wonder how far I work walking my drinks.

[Christine]

Pretty far.

[Hunter]

We want to put one of these on just so we can see how.

[Martin]

Every time I stop, I'll wake up.

[Christine]

I just realized this. I don't know if you're talking about. You wear two watches.

[Hunter]

It's the new thing I'm trying out.

[Christine]

That you wear one for flexing and then one for walking.

[Hunter]

See? But I've been doing it for a month and you just realized.

[Christine]

I know. That's what I'm saying.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, but the one is his grandpa dolls Watch. So that's kind of cool.

[Hunter]

It's a weird. This one's for fun, this one's for steps.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Christine]

How do you feel? Do you feel, like, balanced or what? You feel a little heavier on one side?

[Hunter]

Well, see, the deal was I saw Chris Pratt did it once, so I was like, well, he's cool, so I got to be able to. Can't make fun of me. If Chris Pratt did it, I'm not making fun.

[Christine]

I just didn't realize I'm making fun.

[Hunter]

Of myself every day.

[Johnny D]

That's fair.

[Hunter]

I look down, I'm like, do I really want to do this?

[Johnny D]

If Pratt, Pratt, Pratt can do it, why can't I? Yeah, anybody can. Yeah.

[Hunter]

Plus, there's so much information out there. Like, Martin knows what his heart rate was when that guy was robbing him. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

The data is what I'm obsessed with.

[Christine]

When he robbed you?

[Johnny D]

Well, he come out the house. He didn't rob me, but tried. He attempted to. Interesting.

[Hunter]

He got.

[Martin]

That's. That's a handy gadget to have when that happens.

[Christine]

What, a gun?

[Martin]

Well, yeah, because. Yeah. You say? Okay. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Never heard a gun referred to as a gadget.

[Martin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Johnny D]

That's a neat little gadget.

[Martin]

Well, my pulse stayed the same. My heart rate raised five beats per minute.

[Johnny D]

No more than that.

[Hunter]

But no, Martin's heart was beaten out of his chest.

[Christine]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

I never. I ain't ever pointed a gun at somebody with bad intentions.

[Christine]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

And I didn't have any bad intentions. My intention was just.

[Martin]

You was hoping he didn't have all.

[Johnny D]

Bad intentions I had was protect myself.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

But, you know. Yeah, no, it is cool. The data is what. Yeah, I love it. I like sitting there looking at heart rates and SpO2 and all that kind of stuff. It's just different. Different, cool stuff. Let you know how you're doing in life, like, where you're at. What's your. What's your fitness age?

[Hunter]

36.

[Johnny D]

And you are 36? Yeah, I'm 40 and a half. I didn't know they did half. It said 40.

[Hunter]

Oh. I was 36 and a half.

[Johnny D]

But, yeah, mine's 40.5 up the wagon.

[Hunter]

Yeah, it kind of went through a little stressful time. And you know how those people, they're like, oh, man, I've been stressed. I ain't been eating.

[Martin]

Now you got me wondering.

[Hunter]

I am the opposite.

[Johnny D]

Oh. I'm an emotional leader. Yeah. When things get tough, I eat. Yeah.

[Hunter]

So I gained about 20 pounds.

[Johnny D]

There you go. Good for you, buddy. And it's fun.

[Hunter]

Dude in like two months. But now I'm already back down.

[Martin]

I would like to see some of the. The Navy seals on this thing when they're on a mission.

[Johnny D]

They got a little bit different tracker.

[Martin]

Oh, no, no. But I would. I can't. But you would like to see what they. What their bodies go through when they're on a real mission.

[Johnny D]

The crazy thing about them is their heart rate would probably never increase. Yeah. Just what's.

[Christine]

Why they definitely would be stress.

[Johnny D]

They're just trained animals.

[Hunter]

But what is the date today?

[Johnny D]

22Nd.

[Hunter]

I'm almost at two years though, since I like the 28th or 29th. That leap year got me. I woke up 252 pounds, got down to 199. I'm trying to just remain at 215. 199 was a weird world and I didn't like it though much. That was too small.

[Christine]

Are you still jump roping?

[Hunter]

I jump rope last night.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, he logs that on there.

[Hunter]

But I. But I. But I stopped because just the life got too crazy. But now I'm back.

[Johnny D]

Well, in a way.

[Hunter]

And my step streak will be at two years minus the day you in the hospital and took my mind off of things.

[Christine]

You're playing on steps for this freeze then.

[Martin]

But I see what you were talking about.

[Hunter]

Very small laugh.

[Martin]

Their heart rates and all that. They don't do what a normal man would do.

[Johnny D]

I bet it doesn't even blip on the radar.

[Martin]

They don't. Yeah, they don't. They don't do what a normal man.

[Johnny D]

They're the type that it may actually slow down.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

You know, like calm. Cool.

[Martin]

Because I read a book about one that he wrote. Wrote about all the. All of his combat tours and he had a lot of that in there.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

And he was always telling himself, calm down. Slow your heart rate.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

And I bet he got 10.

[Christine]

What do they call it? The zone. Like getting into the zone. Like.

[Martin]

Well, that is. It ain't a zone.

[Christine]

No, I'm saying it's like it's.

[Martin]

They go to a place of their own. Right?

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Christine]

But I'm saying there's like a mind thing where you get into this like, thing where it's tunnel vision.

[Hunter]

It's go time, Martin.

[Johnny D]

Is it?

[Hunter]

Yeah, it is. If you're stressed about getting out of debt, it's go time.

[Johnny D]

Oh, it absolutely is. It's always go time. We're talking about getting out of debt. And that's why you need to talk to the.

[Hunter]

Anyways, I got some emails to read.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Hunter]

Specifically from Amber.

[Johnny D]

Amber. Amber.

[Christine]

Shout out Amber.

[Hunter]

Here's the deal. [e-mail] and we're about to have a conversation, everybody. Because Amber, the subject line says fire Johnny D. To which I said, well I'm gonna delete that before anybody, not me, sees it. I have that power. I said, let's go ahead and read it.

[Johnny D]

All right, Amber.

[Hunter]

Amber says, can we get a new person to read emails? Then she says, haha. Hopefully the subject line read you to read the email, Amber. Ah, you got me.

[Johnny D]

Good work, Amber.

[Hunter]

Can we please get more emails read? Seriously, Love all you guys. Don't really fire Johnny D. Thank you for that. And she said I'd be missed. So we've kind of slacked off on the emails we have, and by we, we're gonna turn that W upside down and make it a me. There's just a lot of them.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, it is a lot of.

[Hunter]

And. But. But because of that now, it's not a lot of them. And no offense to y' all that are still sending, some of. They're just. They're just not like, they're. They're hard to force into a podcast. There's not questions. There's not other stuff. I mean, there's some good stuff in here and there's some deep stuff, but, like, make it shorter. Hit me with the too long, didn't read version of it. And I. We're gonna get back into the emails and also with that, can we ask Chat.

[Johnny D]

GPT to summarize?

[Hunter]

They do now. Yeah, but I feel bad doing that.

[Johnny D]

Why? It's there.

[Hunter]

I don't trust it. Have you seen that movie with Tom Cruise?

[Johnny D]

Which one?

[Hunter]

Where the AI kills everybody? Yeah, because they're robots.

[Christine]

But robots.

[Hunter]

We're headed there.

[Martin]

You can't trust robots.

[Johnny D]

You think I ain't trust a robot?

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

Really? That cop was pretty cool.

[Martin]

Yeah, they're going nuts.

[Hunter]

All right, well, here, look. Here's the one that it's. It's a little lengthy.

[Johnny D]

That cat that brings your chips is pretty nice.

[Hunter]

Oh, man, that's awesome.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Martin]

All right.

[Hunter]

What.

[Johnny D]

What cat? I was talking about robots. I like the robot cat that brings you.

[Martin]

That brings you food.

[Hunter]

That is the best robot we've ever had. Although humans do it better.

[Johnny D]

I agreed. But it. It's always good for a laugh when a cat brings you chips and salsa.

[Hunter]

I mean, my kids do love it. Anyways, James was from Wisconsin, emails in, and this one has been AI overviewed, which is hilarious. And it makes me want to read the. The whole email here.

[Johnny D]

Drunken Scotties.

[Hunter]

No, he is not. He is a law enforcement officer from Wisconsin, and he works the 6pm to 6am oh, he got some stories. Yes. Jane, thank you so much.

[Johnny D]

This. For this.

[Hunter]

Well, he doesn't have any stories today, but thank you for your service.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Of sticking up with the Wisconsinites from that hour.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

You imagine.

[Johnny D]

Yes, I can.

[Hunter]

Anyways, he. He. He let me make sure I got this right.

[Johnny D]

This is not where podcasts thrive.

[Hunter]

Yeah, I know.

[Johnny D]

Silence is not.

[Hunter]

The AI is confusing me, Martin.

[Martin]

That's what I do.

[Christine]

Just read it.

[Hunter's Kid]

I'll cut out the pauses anyway.

[Hunter]

Okay.

[Johnny D]

That's not AI.

[Hunter]

He emailed him before that's hr. And apparently we gave him suggestion, and it was very stone suggestion.

[Johnny D]

Oh, good.

[Hunter]

Get that TV and phone out of there. And well, apparently we really helped him out.

[Johnny D]

Well, good.

[Hunter]

And he's in a way better place now. He's also been through some other stuff, it looks like. See, this is a. This is a pretty long email, so I'm trying to get through it all. But question, where should me and my family visit during their trip to Louisiana? Because they're going on a journey as a family. They hit a couple states up every year, and they're gonna get all of them.

[Christine]

They're saying, like what. What part?

[Hunter]

Like what city or whenever they're coming to our state.

[Johnny D]

New Orleans. You got to go to New Orleans.

[Christine]

For like a day.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, a day, maybe two. Just for the dining, the culinary experience.

[Christine]

Go to Commander's Palace.

[Johnny D]

That is New Orleans.

[Martin]

We're trying the food.

[Christine]

Cafe Dumont, French Quarter.

[Hunter]

Commander's Palace, French Quarter.

[Christine]

Have you ate there? Yeah, it's good.

[Johnny D]

DW Fan.

[Christine]

I thought you were about to roast me for.

[Hunter]

No, it's just. It's. You're just pulling out all the stops with that. I mean, that's. That's kind of the pinnacle, isn't it?

[Christine]

Yes, you can. I like it.

[Hunter]

I like it there.

[Christine]

Once.

[Hunter]

I mean, but that's, you know, New Orleans.

[Johnny D]

It's our shining spot.

[Hunter]

Don't go to Shreveport.

[Christine]

I go to Shreveport.

[Johnny D]

I can probably say I wouldn't really spend any time in Alexandria. Hop over to the Lafayette area and get you some boudin to take back home.

[Hunter]

Have I told you about my sales rep?

[Johnny D]

No, but does he bring you Best Stop boudin or something?

[Hunter]

No, he brings me chicken cracklings from some gas station. Right. South Lafayette.

[Christine]

Oh, I know that gas station.

[Johnny D]

Okay.

[Hunter]

It's so good. I lost a few pounds, and then I gained them all back today.

[Johnny D]

So New Orleans is like your fine dining experience. Slide over to Lafayette to eat out the gas stations.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Christine]

What's it called?

[Johnny D]

Because it's so good.

[Christine]

It's a beautiful sandwich place there. Old Time Grocery. I like that place in Lafayette.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, the.

[Christine]

There's a Blue Dog down there. The Blue Dog Little restaurant, but that's really about.

[Johnny D]

And then you can slide back very small here if you want to. But. Or you can time it around the Angola Rodeo. You can go to the prison.

[Martin]

That would be worth.

[Johnny D]

Pretty cool.

[Martin]

That's worth going to.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Go on our big state prisons rodeo. Do it for fun.

[Christine]

It's cooler than you think.

[Johnny D]

It really is. It's a Cool site. And he probably leave with a rocking chair, you know, or something. Some other. Some other.

[Hunter]

Go bring a trailer.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Which is wild.

[Johnny D]

So, yeah. There you go.

[Hunter]

And here's the last part of his question. It. It got all kind. And this one's pretty heavy. His father suddenly passed away in November, which is tough. It was one of those heart attack things where nobody saw it coming, and boom. And it just hit you like a ton of bricks.

[Johnny D]

Yep.

[Hunter]

And, you know, I'm kind of partial to those people. And we all are in this room because it's been a lot lately around the duck commander family, the. All of us that are in here. So he asked if we could say a prayer for everybody that's lost a loved one recently.

[Johnny D]

There you go.

[Hunter]

And I think that's a great way to end it, James.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, we'll wrap it up right there. James. Thanks for your service and enjoy our state. When you're in charge, you want it.

[Hunter]

You'Re in charge of that.

[Martin]

You do.

[Johnny D]

He said no.

[Hunter]

You're the elder here.

[Martin]

You got.

[Hunter]

I'm just the announcement guy. Like, I'm the announcement guy.

[Martin]

I want to hear you say he.

[Johnny D]

Put you on the spot.

[Martin]

I want to hear you say it.

[Hunter]

I've. No, I've been down to pray before, so just. We'll end this one without a Bible verse, and we'll just speak to the Almighty right here. Father, we just. Thank you for the opportunity to do this podcast and have fun and talk about the weirdest and wildest stuff that comes in our heads, but also get to just point people to you. Our. Our brother James up in Wisconsin, doing hard work up there all night long. Protect him. Protect the people he works with, Father. But also going through a tough time that. That all of us have experienced when. When death comes from out of nowhere and you had plans with that person and you don't know why, and you ask questions and. Father, help us to know. It's not our job to know why. It's our job to trust in you. Trust that you have our best interest in mind. And trust that one day, through your son, Jesus, we will all be together where there will be no heartache, no pain, no tears, and there will be joy and laughter, and hopefully somebody from Lafayette brings chicken skins, and it's in his name we pray. Amen.

[Johnny D]

Amen.

[Hunter]

Wouldn't that be cool if there was just chicken skins everywhere?

[Johnny D]

We'll see y' all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
