  • “You're one swastika tattoo away from being on American History X.” – Phil (11:37)
  • “You can AI anytime.” – Martin (11:47)

  • “Face down. Bam. And then I heard a bunch of laughter, and I said, what happened? Watch out, first step, boys. This is doozy.” – Chris (31:10)

• Analogy Gold:
  Stone equates feathering a bulldozer blade to learning how to improve in a marriage.

  • “The longer you married to your woman, the better you get at feathering the blade.” – Stone (27:56)

Transcript

[Stone]

Foreign.

[Phil]

I need a blood transfusion.

[Chris]

Why would you do that?

[Phil]

This dang mosquitoes ate me alive this morning.

[Chris]

Do you have the.

[Martin]

Do you have the parasite?

[Phil]

Which one?

[Martin]

The one. D1.

[Phil]

I probably got one.

[Martin]

If you're not.

[Phil]

I don't know which one it is but.

[Martin]

Have you not seen Cyclosporaces?

[Phil]

Oh no.

[Martin]

You haven't seen it?

[Phil]

No, I have, but no, I ain't got him. I ain't been pooping myself to death. I'm good.

[Martin]

So have you been eating vegetables?

[Stone]

That's true.

[Martin]

Oh, it's real.

[Stone]

Saying that on the space, but I

[Chris]

ate a lot of oranges and a lot of dogs.

[Martin]

Have you been washing them? Have you been washing.

[Chris]

I have to wash your arms.

[Stone]

What's it coming from? What's it coming from?

[Martin]

Lettuce. They believe. And they actually believe it might have come from Taco Bell. Like that's legitimate?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Everywhere there's an explosive.

[Chris]

It's all Taco Bell's fault.

[Martin]

We don't know.

[Phil]

That's not fair. I mean Taco Bell's been doing this for years.

[Martin]

Apparently it's a.

[Chris]

Hey, extra level of explosion. It was on from the lettuce or the avocados?

[Phil]

Avocados.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Phil]

I haven't heard from Mexico.

[Chris]

I'm Mark.

[Martin]

Safe from both of those.

[Chris]

What is it they know? What is the junk they mix up?

[Phil]

You have guacamole?

[Chris]

Yeah, guacamole.

[Martin]

You think it's guacamole getting everybody.

[Chris]

That's what they said it was Taco Bell. And don't, don't, don't order the guacamole. Or lettuce. Or lettuce. No way. Deal.

[Martin]

I don't think the easiest guidelines I've ever had to follow.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Don't eat lettuce or guacamole.

[Stone]

I do like good guac but if you eat lettuce you probably deserve to get it.

[Chris]

Well, I let this and I got it.

[Phil]

Yeah, I do like a good salad. I know a guy that this time

[Chris]

of year tastes all mine's on sandwiches.

[Phil]

Oh no.

[Chris]

The big nice fresh tomato at the Garden Mater.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Chris]

And bologna. Either fried or non fried. And then lettuce and then mustard.

[Stone]

About a smoked baloney.

[Chris]

And my, my woman makes a mean sandwich.

[Phil]

What about a dog?

[Martin]

Everybody loves a good dog.

[Stone]

Look.

[Chris]

Well I tried the dog. I did something wrong.

[Martin]

Ye, you can't roll them at 450 for two hours.

[Chris]

That I don't think at 450.

[Martin]

At least three anyway. Cyclosporasis. I can't pronounce it. Or the disease caused by the parasite. Can't pronounce that either. Can cause frequent watery diarrhea or explosive bowel movements.

[Chris]

Explosive.

[Martin]

They use the word explosive every time.

[Chris]

Yeah, like, they get explosive diarrhea.

[Phil]

I've been there.

[Martin]

Donald Trump called it a terrible, terrible disease and something you would not want anyone to experience. Explosive diarrhea is here to stay.

[Phil]

Well, yeah, it's always been here.

[Hunter]

Just.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Martin]

This is worse, though. It's never made, maybe, say, today.

[Phil]

Well, maybe everybody's getting a little softer, you know, it's a good point. Like, maybe they didn't drink the plastic bottles of whiskey growing up and have that every Saturday morning.

[Chris]

More vitamin E. That's why you get oranges.

[Phil]

I thought you got vitamin C from oranges. Oh, E. E. I thought E was oil.

[Chris]

What is your fruits?

[Stone]

No, C. I'm pretty sure it's C. Huh?

[Chris]

E. Really?

[Martin]

Yeah, you're wrong about that. S. E is in, like, sunflowers and spinach.

[Phil]

Yeah, they make, like, oil out of eat.

[Martin]

Oh, that's what you put on a burn, huh? Vitamin E oil.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Martin]

You put that on a burn?

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Martin]

You ever been burned?

[Chris]

I've been burned. You ever put vitamin E oil on a bird? No, I put some of aloe. I put some of this blue stuff that was like. It was like. Oh, ice, huh? Yeah, it was blue and it, like. Ice.

[Phil]

Yeah, like aloe. Oh, aloe vera stuff.

[Stone]

That's weird.

[Phil]

Oh, almonds.

[Chris]

Oh.

[Phil]

You know where you can get you some vitamin E? S?

[Chris]

Where?

[Phil]

Avocados from Mexico.

[Stone]

No, don't do that.

[Martin]

I just found out.

[Chris]

S said that's.

[Martin]

That's against the rules.

[Phil]

Or broccoli.

[Chris]

They say. They don't say E comes from orange. No, that's vitamin B.S.

[Phil]

yeah. You can get it from nuts. Yeah. Almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts.

[Martin]

I don't understand vitamins at all.

[Stone]

Yeah, but speaking of parasites, I had a kind of a. I can't wait

[Phil]

to see where this goes.

[Chris]

Who knows these days? Because who knows what they teach nowadays?

[Stone]

I don't know if you'd call this critter parasite, but we had an infestation of sorts at the house.

[Phil]

Oh, in laws.

[Stone]

Did I tell you about that already?

[Martin]

At your house?

[Stone]

No. Yeah, at my house.

[Chris]

What did I get out of apples?

[Martin]

What? No. Stone's telling a story.

[Chris]

Yeah, well, no, dog, look.

[Stone]

So you got to get off that. The vitamin E thing because you're wrong. You're wrong on this one.

[Chris]

I don't want hit.

[Stone]

Yeah, I'm Gonna double it now. But anyways, we had.

[Chris]

I ate two bags of oranges, yo. Every time Christine goes to store, she buys me two. Two bags of tangerines.

[Stone]

You like the little ones? The little. What do they call little cuties? Little cuties.

[Chris]

It's tangerines.

[Stone]

Tangerines.

[Chris]

Okay, wait. They're real good.

[Stone]

We had an infestation in the house. Unbeknownst to me, my youngest daughter had been slipping the dog in the animal. Oh, yeah, the healer. And the healer had fleas.

[Chris]

Oh, the dog has fleas.

[Stone]

The dog had fleas. So she snuck the dog in the house and let her sleep in her closet. Well, I was sitting on the couch about two weeks ago, and I felt. I felt something moving on my leg, you know.

[Martin]

Oh, no.

[Stone]

I'm like, what the. I looked at it. It was a flea. I flicked it off. Well, about 10 minutes later, same thing. And then all of a sudden, I got three or four of them on me. So I go upstairs, I step in her room barefooted, and I look down at my leg, and there's about 20 of them within.

[Chris]

Oh, no.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah. Within 10 seconds, there's 20 fleas on my leg.

[Chris]

Room was this stage.

[Stone]

So she'd been slipping the blue healer in there. Sleep with where the dog. I get the dog was flea treatment every month. But when you lay down that one, it didn't. Didn't take, I guess. I don't know.

[Martin]

My dog. You spit them out after you stop looking at.

[Stone]

Yeah. So I must have missed a month. But anyways, it was terrible. It was terrible. Two days later, the guy came to spray and he went up in their closet, and that was the. That was the nuke, the nucleus of the flea invasion. That's what they run the eye of the storm. He said he never seen nothing that bad. So nucleus. Three weeks later and about $500 into it.

[Martin]

Oh, goodness.

[Stone]

We're down to just a few.

[Martin]

But you're fighting.

[Stone]

Oh, still fighting.

[Martin]

Every day.

[Stone]

Every day. So now when I go to bed, I'm just scratching all over, you know, just even. I don't even have them on me now. But you feel them? I can feel. I can feel them right now. But you talking about hard to get rid of them things. They had to spray the yard around the outside of the house. They've sprayed at least five times. You can't. They say the little bitty ones, you can't kill them. There's nothing made that a killer. But they can kill the egg. Kill the eggs and kill the dog.

[Chris]

He gets him teachings.

[Stone]

So, hey, he works on.

[Phil]

You could get one now.

[Chris]

Well, I can do it now.

[Stone]

But that was the worst infestation that I've ever seen.

[Chris]

Flea infest.

[Martin]

That blue healer gets around too.

[Stone]

Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, that electric fence, some yard. I cut the underground.

[Chris]

At least it could be. It could have been dog. Oh, it could have been chiggers.

[Stone]

Chiggers? Oh yeah. Those are the worst.

[Chris]

You can't kill them.

[Stone]

Suckers, bedbugs.

[Martin]

You gotta just cover your skin and

[Stone]

nail polish and ticks.

[Phil]

Because a tick could kill you.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah. Take care.

[Phil]

That's the problem with ticks.

[Stone]

How's a tick kill you? Oh, you get that Lyme disease.

[Phil]

Get to Rocky Mountain spotted fever. You get.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Or you get alpha gal and you

[Martin]

[Stone]

Yeah, please. Barely see those fleas.

[Martin]

Invisible.

[Phil]

Yeah. I don't know why he got on that boat. I don't know why no one let him on there. He must have hitched a ride.

[Martin]

[Chris]

I'm serious. All right.

[Phil]

You'll be all right,

[Martin]

Martin. It's summertime. Means you're traveling. I'm trying to plan one more little trip. I don't know where I'm going yet, but you know what I'm taking with me?

[Phil]

What?

[Martin]

A G1. Because having a quick healthy habit like AG1 is even simple on the road. AG1 is so simple. Just one scoop 8 ounces of water and you're set. How many scoops?

[Chris]

One scoop.

[Martin]

That's all it takes. And you get a multivitamin, pre and probiotic, superfoods and antioxidants all in one daily drink. AG1 helps maintain energy, support gut health and support immune health, which is super important. Plus, it's clinically shown to support gut health and help fill common nutrient gaps. The next gen formula has over 75 ingredients for high quality daily nutritional support. AG1 is also clinically shown to improve key nutrient levels within just three months. So you're going to feel feeling better really quickly. I like kicking off my day with AG1 because it gets me pointed in the right direction. Have you ever been going the wrong direction? That stinks. I like kicking off every day with just one scoop of AG1. They got the flavors too. They got original berry, tropical citrus. I personally like berry. Visit drink ag1.com duck to get a free ag1 travel case with seven free ag1 travel packs in your welcome kit with your first ag1 subscription order while supplies last. That's drink ag1.com. Stone, Are you thinking about shaving?

[Martin]

That is.

[Stone]

You like that? You like that look? Yeah.

[Chris]

[Stone]

But say. He said I look like Triple H. Yeah. Oh, I see that. Yeah.

[Chris]

You remind me.

[Stone]

I kind of like that look.

[Martin]

I'm for it. I think you should try it out.

[Stone]

My head looks a little. Little warped in that.

[Martin]

Hey, I'll do that every once a while. I give you six fingers or something like that.

[Chris]

I can see you in a cage. Or a cage fight.

[Stone]

Huh?

[Phil]

I think that ship sailed too.

[Martin]

He does that Every Tuesday at 5am Maybe not in a cage.

[Chris]

Put him in a cage. Let him put some jujitsu on somebody.

[Stone]

I think I'm.

[Chris]

Let him tap him out.

[Stone]

I think I'm way past that at this point. I'm on the downhill slide.

[Phil]

He blasts longer than McGregor probably.

[Stone]

Boy, that was something you need to do.

[Chris]

That AI Sage is ball her head.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Put her in the cage.

[Martin]

Why would you do that?

[Chris]

So she can tap. Make a bunch of clowns tap out.

[Phil]

No, you just tell her that's what's gonna happen if she gets in fleas in that house.

[Stone]

Yeah, that is a good idea.

[Martin]

So why was she bringing the dog inside?

[Stone]

She wanted. She wanted Libby to sleep in the room with her.

[Phil]

Fair enough. That happened.

[Stone]

They're good friends.

[Phil]

Yeah. Kids need a dog.

[Stone]

That dog does have a lot of personality.

[Chris]

Hey kid loves dogs.

[Phil]

That dog's that's why she hang out with you.

[Chris]

No, no. I love dogs too.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Martin]

What would you think? Hold on.

[Chris]

You know what I'm about.

[Phil]

Are you about to AI clean? We used to hang shaving size.

[Chris]

We didn't have no air conditioner. We'd always sleep in the summertime with the doors and the windows open.

[Stone]

Huh.

[Chris]

And just that's a good way to get all the straight dog used to come, you know, and they'd end up at our house. Phil's asleep one night, big dog. I mean a big dog come in and lay down with him and he woke up. It woke him up. And then we chased that dog all through the house trying to get him out of the. Out of the house.

[Stone]

Yeah, I was just at the door open.

[Chris]

Yeah, I mean a big dog. I don't even know what kind it was but he was huge.

[Phil]

Really.

[Chris]

You could have threw a saddle on him roadie.

[Martin]

And you just let it in the. In the home while they were all

[Phil]

the doors, all the windows open.

[Chris]

We didn't have no accurate. So we slept with the windows and the doors open.

[Phil]

Did you sleep naked?

[Chris]

Huh?

[Phil]

He lived naked.

[Chris]

Well, hey, Phil said I used to run naked till I was 14. Well, I don't know.

[Phil]

I think.

[Martin]

How do you remember that? Your teacher said vitamin E comes from oranges. But you don't remember if you were wearing clothes at 14?

[Chris]

Well, hey, that's what used to say. I'm just telling you what the man used to say.

[Martin]

Guys, this is terrifying. Sigh.

[Stone]

Let's see it.

[Phil]

Oh God. Who is that?

[Chris]

That's.

[Martin]

That's the picture I just took. If you were to shave your face.

[Chris]

No. Get out of here.

[Martin]

That's what you'd look like.

[Phil]

That looks like Chris Power in 10 years. Oh, like there's no way.

[Martin]

It's not an exact science. They haven't finished the data center.

[Phil]

The only thing they got right was the hat.

[Chris]

You can't trust nothing. AI, don't.

[Martin]

Oh, they clean the hat up though. That is the cleanest.

[Phil]

Hey, now ask them to put a

[Chris]

beard back on that original shirt.

[Stone]

Yeah, send that to Christine. See what she thinks.

[Martin]

Oh, we might get you to shave

[Chris]

now.

[Martin]

We'll see what he looks like when we put the beard back on.

[Phil]

Surely they just give you the original picture back, right?

[Chris]

Huh?

[Martin]

No, no, no, no. AI is a terrifying. Have you ever played with this? I never did, but recently I needed to for some work stuff. And then you just go down terrible path of making weird pictures. I can show you my whole family and what we look like in 60 years. Congratulations, Carter. Your wife's pretty good looking. I don't know where she came from, but AI just made her up.

[Phil]

Really?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Martin]

It's weird.

[Chris]

What all did you plant down on land?

[Stone]

Japanese millet so far. Oh, yeah.

[Chris]

There you go.

[Stone]

Yeah. That's not very accurate.

[Martin]

We started with this.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Martin]

We went to make this man with the shave face. We went to that.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Which I don't like. No, please don't shave. And now you're.

[Phil]

We're back to this.

[Martin]

Yeah. Oh, Honor.

[Phil]

How do you feel about AI?

[Martin]

Oh, goodness. Hunter's not here anymore. AI took his job.

[Hunter]

You already know my thoughts on AI.

[Phil]

Yeah, but the people at home don't.

[Hunter]

I. I don't want to get into it.

[Stone]

Why not?

[Martin]

You just made Hunter sad.

[Phil]

I didn't make him sad. Did I? I didn't mean to. I figure I've said a lot of things in here to make you a lot sadder than that. I was just asking you a question,

[Hunter]

man. I don't. I don't like getting into it. I get made fun of for it a lot.

[Martin]

You get made fun of for that?

[Stone]

Who's making fun of you?

[Hunter]

Work, parents, people?

[Phil]

What? They're just saying you should embrace it, basically.

[Hunter]

And I don't want to embrace it.

[Martin]

You got to embrace it. I don't have to remember the guy that didn't embrace the cars.

[Hunter]

And I'm sure he lived happily in the woods.

[Martin]

Nope, he's still walking.

[Phil]

No, he got hit by a buffalo.

[Hunter]

I'd rather get hit by a buffalo than embrace AI.

[Martin]

Your job is on computers.

[Hunter]

I mean, I don't.

[Phil]

Are you worried you'll be replaced by almost the biggest thing like.

[Hunter]

Like generative. AI create. Mimics something from other people and then just spits something out.

[Martin]

Yeah, but could you do this? Could you make psy.

[Phil]

What in the world.

[Martin]

As the man of David throwing a rock all the way to the chicken.

[Chris]

Get rid of that.

[Phil]

Oh, they got his old glasses, too, with the straps.

[Stone]

That's awesome. Now that was actually really good.

[Phil]

That's hilarious.

[Martin]

He can throw that rock all the way to the chicken fillet.

[Phil]

The only thing not accurate about this is there's no line at Chick Fil A.

[Chris]

You know what?

[Martin]

There wasn't a line on the way here. I was going to go there.

[Phil]

Really?

[Martin]

And I was like, I'm not going to be able to get in and out of there quick enough. And then I looked over and I could have.

[Phil]

Golly. Unbelievable.

[Martin]

They thought we'd use AI for Good. And for work. But we really just make stupid pictures.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Phil]

That's awesome.

[Martin]

It is nice to like, hey, I want to try a new haircut out. And you AI yourself. And now we know that. Stone bald.

[Hunter]

But that takes what look like.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Out of getting a haircut.

[Hunter]

Yeah. What. What if you were to get it yourself? Then you would. Then you would know.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

And if you liked it or hate it, I feel like you would. You would learn an important lesson at the end of that. Right?

[Chris]

What?

[Martin]

We're talking about shaving our head.

[Chris]

Not.

[Martin]

Not proposing.

[Hunter]

But like if you had to sit with it for a while, then you would like. Then you would like.

[Stone]

No.

[Hunter]

But if you're looking at a picture, you just wouldn't know because you're not living with it.

[Chris]

Something just hit me. Look up. How far can you throw a boomerang?

[Stone]

Boomerang.

[Martin]

You know what? Why don't we ask chatgpt how far

[Chris]

one can throw a boomerang. So ask Google. How far do you throw it? Can you throw a boomerang?

[Martin]

How far can you throw a before

[Chris]

it returns back to you?

[Martin]

Well, yours isn't coming back to you

[Phil]

so I tried that thing. I can't ever make it come back.

[Martin]

I bought one of them from academy in the back corner at the outdoor section that are like a triangle. I got one time I spent hours.

[Phil]

Remember that thing we used to throw around in the front parking lot?

[Martin]

That was it.

[Phil]

Yeah. Would come back to us.

[Chris]

Would come back.

[Phil]

Oh, we'd always landed on the roof.

[Chris]

I didn't know what y' all was doing.

[Phil]

Well, we were very well aware of that.

[Martin]

Would you like a typical beginner boomerang, A sport performance boomerang? A long distance returning boomerang or a non returning boomerang?

[Chris]

Hey, I want the loan.

[Phil]

A non return boomerang's a stick.

[Chris]

How far can you throw a long distance?

[Martin]

The world class long distance competitors can throw specialized boomerangs more than 230 yards away and still have them return.

[Chris]

Good. And it will return.

[Martin]

That's pretty impressive.

[Chris]

That's pretty good. 230Y.

[Martin]

Why are you thinking about boomerangs?

[Chris]

Well, I don't know. I just. It hit me and I To know

[Phil]

you just throw it out there and it comes back to you.

[Martin]

You just needed to know that.

[Phil]

That you see, they just broke the world record on shotgun shooting A clay with a shotgun.

[Chris]

How'd they do that?

[Phil]

What? 201 yard? 2 foot? 204. 201 like that.

[Martin]

Hold on.

[Phil]

They broke a guy a Guy shot a clay at 200 and either one or four yards with a shotgun.

[Chris]

Do what? Ain't no big deal. I've watched Phil killed Ballard drake. That probably what, 250?

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Stone]

Duh. I knew that was coming.

[Phil]

Hey, you know how little a skeet is at 200 yards?

[Martin]

Was it moving?

[Phil]

I suspect it.

[Martin]

Yeah, but it's skeet that. I mean sometimes those fall apart just in the air.

[Chris]

Well, what?

[Martin]

They could have hit a dust particle.

[Chris]

A regulation skeet is what, 4 inch

[Phil]

circle

[Chris]

the Duck's weight yards. It would look like it was about 2 inches. Huh. I don't know where you sink in.

[Stone]

I don't think I could see it.

[Chris]

A 4 inch regulation skeet.

[Martin]

Yep.

[Chris]

It's 4 inches in a circle at 200 yards it would look like it's 2 inches.

[Phil]

So you lose an inch every hundred

[Martin]

yards you get away. I have no idea how that works.

[Chris]

Well, 200 yards. Hey, just think about it. Four inches. Has to add 200.

[Phil]

Bye bye.

[Chris]

By two.

[Martin]

200.

[Phil]

Yeah, duh.

[Chris]

Minus two, minus two. And then you got.

[Phil]

You come up with two inches minus two plus three. Add the hypotenuse.

[Martin]

And then the cos do have a new.

[Chris]

That's the longest shot. Two hundred and one yard.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Phil]

With a shotgun recorded. I mean somebody.

[Chris]

Well, you have. Wait a minute because. See you there's. There's too many variables here.

[Stone]

Let's talk about something interesting.

[Martin]

I have fantastic news.

[Stone]

Let's hear it.

[Martin]

I received a photograph during the middle of this.

[Phil]

Juicy and God.

[Martin]

Juicy and Godwin are in Orlando together.

[Chris]

Poor.

[Phil]

I bet. If you ask what. What AI. What juicy look like in 50 years. It spit out goblins.

[Martin]

Still have that curly hair. Hey, Juice is one of the main attractions at iCast. He going around taking pictures with Bill Dance, Steve Harvey, all the people.

[Phil]

Look at those two. Look at them.

[Stone]

So I guess who I had out working on a property yesterday. Guess who I had working on the property yesterday.

[Chris]

Who?

[Stone]

Christian and Jacob.

[Chris]

What they do?

[Stone]

Well, I trained Christian how to run the bulldozer.

[Phil]

Hey, time out. Can you not hear one of them things on?

[Chris]

No.

[Phil]

Huh?

[Martin]

You can't hear.

[Stone]

Can you hear Hunter?

[Phil]

I hear him. Just me.

[Chris]

I can't hear it, but I. But I am.

[Stone]

One, two. Test, test, test.

[Phil]

No, nothing.

[Hunter]

I. I just turned his headset up.

[Chris]

It might be on here.

[Hunter]

It is.

[Chris]

Okay. Hey.

[Martin]

Yeah, we came unplugged, ladies. There.

[Phil]

He said hey. He said, well, he ain't got them on. I ain't wearing like. Well, we can't hear you.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Martin]

Can you hear us now?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Stone]

What about now? Can you hear me now?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Martin]

He's been doing this whole podcast without hearing us. You haven't heard a word. That's why you've been interrupting us. You had heard a word?

[Stone]

No, he does that.

[Phil]

Anyway, now the interruptions are just interrupted.

[Chris]

Just me?

[Phil]

Yeah, that's just him. When something comes in that brain, it's got to get out there. It's like hot potato.

[Hunter]

Do I need to turn it up for you? Sigh. Do I need to turn up your volume, though?

[Chris]

No, I'm good.

[Stone]

I'm good. Just gotta plug it in.

[Phil]

But just. Now move it back a little closer to your mouth. Sm socks.

[Chris]

This is.

[Phil]

Well, hey, Bumblebee tuna.

[Chris]

I move around a lot and I kicked it. I kicked it up.

[Phil]

You know, you are a noise man.

[Chris]

Connected it.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Chris]

All right. So anyway, what would we talk about? I asked a question about something.

[Phil]

No, we wouldn't talk about nothing. Stone just told you that he had Christian and Jacob out there working.

[Chris]

That's what I'm talking about. And I asked him what he what?

[Stone]

There you go.

[Chris]

Yeah. Oh, so he's. Christian's running a dozer.

[Stone]

Yeah, I trained him. I gave him a quick lesson on a bulldozer.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Stone]

And to his credit, he did much better than what I was expecting, and he actually enjoyed it.

[Chris]

Well, the boy actually can drive a dozer.

[Phil]

Well, I wouldn't ask you what you were expecting. Can I ask you what you were expecting since he did better than I was expecting?

[Stone]

Something to.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah, tear up something.

[Stone]

Tear up.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah, tear up something.

[Stone]

You know. But he actually performed quite well.

[Phil]

But what Stone just let everybody know is the key to life expectations matter.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil]

They pretty low.

[Martin]

You can exceed them.

[Stone]

Always good to have low expectations.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Chris]

If you never want to, you know, with one of them. Because that was me in my military career. You drove a. No, no. They just come up, said, hey, we need somebody to drive this.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Chris]

And they didn't have nobody. And I said, well, crank it up. I got on it. I said, well, crank this thing up.

[Martin]

Crank it up.

[Chris]

They said, what? I said, crank it. Let me watch you crank it. Now get out of my way. You told. No, no, that. Because that was my motto in the military. If you crank it, I drive it.

[Phil]

There you go.

[Stone]

You got to crank it before I can drive it.

[Chris]

Show me how to crank it, and then I'll drive it.

[Martin]

You could drive anything.

[Chris]

You show. You crank it, and I drive it.

[Stone]

Anyways, it was a simple little task. There's a Mound of dirt. I said, flatten that mound out. Get it as smooth as you can.

[Chris]

That's right.

[Stone]

So he got up there, you know, took his time and. But it was kind of like you had the little roller coaster deal going there.

[Chris]

Yeah. Didn't know how to.

[Stone]

The best part, he didn't know how to. He didn't know how to feather the blade and all that. That takes time, like anything else.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Stone]

But anyways, he got off the bulldozer and he looked at me, said, I feel manly.

[Chris]

Yeah. Well, no, no, because. Hey. That most people don't realize. Hey, you get a hold of those and get to really doing stuff with it.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah. It gives you. It gives you a shot of adrenaline.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah. I'm a demolition man.

[Chris]

Okay. Because. Hey. Because, you know, you run over and look at that tree over and say, I think I push that sucker down.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris]

And then just bam. Lift up the blade and pull it out of the ground and go, shove it the water. I can do it. Don't fool me. I'll hurt you.

[Martin]

I like driving a tractor. I mean, it does. There is something to pushing stuff around on a tractor.

[Stone]

Tractor times. Good therapy.

[Phil]

I've never got off of it saying I felt like a man because before I got on it, I felt like one.

[Chris]

Oh, boy. Yeah. But you got a little shell adrenaline to go with it.

[Phil]

Well, yeah. You see exactly what it'll do. I don't. I don't. I don't get it. I'm confused.

[Stone]

Well, he's never done anything.

[Chris]

But, hey, it's like anything else. If somebody is really good with something, it's fun to watch somebody that uses it.

[Phil]

Oh, absolutely.

[Chris]

Because I. I've seen guys that.

[Phil]

Hey, I had that man swinging that tracker over my head this morning.

[Stone]

Oh, well, I was trying to explain to him about feathering the blade.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Stone]

And he's. He's like feathering the blades. What do you mean? I said I was. When you go down the hill, you got to feather up. When you're coming uphill, you got to feather down. Vice versa. It's the opposite.

[Chris]

Oh, no.

[Stone]

If you're turning to the right, you got a feather left. You turn to the left, you feather right. It's like being married. The longer you married to your woman, the better you get at feathering the blade. So it's just.

[Chris]

I like his analogy.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah, right. And that could mean a lot of that blade.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Martin]

It was the hand motion that did me in. I'm just staring at this. Emails.

[Stone]

Anyway, I was Just glad to see him out there.

[Martin]

So Christians working the bulldozer. What was Jacob doing?

[Stone]

Filming I guess. Filming?

[Chris]

Yeah. But you're not, you know. Here's what you don't, don't understand about man. You're giving them, both of them young men something they won't get anywhere else.

[Stone]

I'm just glad to see him participate.

[Chris]

He's giving them something that they're not going to get anywhere else.

[Martin]

Well, yeah, Most people wouldn't allow them on a bulldozer.

[Chris]

Well, no.

[Phil]

They just opened a new dig park in Dallas. Over. You can go play on all of them. Take boys over.

[Martin]

Did you see that? Huh Stone? How's that make you feel? There's amusement park that just lets you ride around on bulldozers track hose.

[Stone]

That's awesome.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Martin]

What's it called again?

[Phil]

Like Dig DFW or something.

[Stone]

Dig DFW.

[Martin]

Dig World.

[Phil]

Yeah, Dig World DFW or something. Oh yeah. Me and the boys go 100%. I mean I got that. Anyway, my buddy being he got a construction company so we can go play on whatever we want anytime we want to.

[Chris]

But you know when they get like 14, take them over to his house. Let him, let him get after.

[Phil]

Oh my kid.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Oh, they ain't gonna make it 14. Well I hope by the time they 10 they run a mini.

[Chris]

Oh yeah.

[Martin]

Is the construction themed theme park?

[Phil]

Absolutely buddy.

[Martin]

I'm pouring.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Martin]

I would get.

[Phil]

You want to go?

[Martin]

Yeah, I'm in. Me and me and my boys are in.

[Phil]

We all go together.

[Chris]

I first I would have blasted that.

[Phil]

Yeah, let's I go.

[Martin]

No, you got to sign a waiver. You can't break their stuff.

[Phil]

Oh you can, you can and it will.

[Chris]

Hey, it will. That's one thing Phil never did understand. When I tore up everything that he said I tore up. If you use it, it's going to break down.

[Stone]

It's going to break down when you go over there. Remember when you're operating the track code, the excavator, you gotta turn the cab perpendicular to the tracks. So when you step out, you step on the track, then you step down. I've seen, I've witnessed that man to your right there. Step out of the track. Ho.

[Phil]

Onto the ground.

[Stone]

Straight to the ground.

[Chris]

That's right. To the ground.

[Stone]

That was what Zai about 25 years ago.

[Chris]

Oh yeah.

[Stone]

He opened the door, he opened door. He's looking at us and he just steps out.

[Phil]

Gone.

[Martin]

Gone about what?

[Chris]

Hey, I'm glad I look. And I had just got through bush hogging that crap. And it had the sticks sticking up. I'm glad I didn't land on one of them. I was bad.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris]

Oh, that's. I took a step, and it was just like this, and face down. Bam. And then I heard a bunch of laughter, and I said, what happened? He. I said, watch out, first step, boys. This is doozy.

[Stone]

I said, watch that first step, boys. It's a doozy.

[Phil]

Oh, man.

[Chris]

Oh, man.

[Martin]

So you went.

[Stone]

I used to.

[Phil]

I used to find great satisfaction watching S On that rubber tire hoe, smoking a cigarette.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil]

He'd be up there, just one in his mouth, swinging buckets of dirt back and forth on that little backhoe. Oh, man.

[Martin]

You can operate some heavy equipment.

[Chris]

Hold up.

[Stone]

Yeah, he can do it.

[Chris]

Well, say I.

[Phil]

He does it with speed, too, buddy.

[Martin]

If you can crank it, he can run it.

[Phil]

Yeah, he does it with speed.

[Chris]

Because I got all that in. Because everything. Every time there was something like, especially Vietnam, you know, somebody would leave

[Stone]

and

[Chris]

I said, hey, east simple come up. Say, hey, who. Who will go? We got a convoy out there waiting to be unloaded. Can anybody run that?

[Martin]

Yo.

[Chris]

Rough Terrain Forklift. Yeah, you know, And I said, I can't run it, but you crank it, I'll run it. You know? He said, what? I said, crank it and I'll run it.

[Stone]

I do love a forklift.

[Martin]

Did you fly a helicopter?

[Phil]

No.

[Martin]

He said if he could start it, he could run it.

[Phil]

No chance.

[Chris]

I could probably. I rolled in enough of them, I could probably try it.

[Martin]

You think you could fly helicopter?

[Chris]

Because you got. Two times. You got the deal that you give us your gas and the rotary.

[Phil]

You know what? I'll give him credit. I think he could take off landing. He's way better.

[Chris]

It ain't that hard.

[Phil]

He's way better with the gas than he is.

[Chris]

Well, no, no, no. But it ain't that hard.

[Martin]

It ain't that hard.

[Chris]

It ain't that hard to fly one.

[Phil]

It. What? It took Kobe Bryant out.

[Chris]

Whoa. Oh. It crashed though.

[Phil]

He had said it's a little more difficult to fly than.

[Chris]

No, it ain't. No, you could probably fly it yourself. After you left, I showed you.

[Phil]

Who, me?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Phil]

I don't get on anything. It's got a part on it called the Jesus nut.

[Martin]

Flying a helicopter is widely.

[Phil]

There's one piece on a helicopter holds the whole thing together. It's called a Jesus nut. If that fails, you go in to meet Jesus. I ain't getting on it.

[Chris]

Well, you ain't getting on it. Oh, hey, they'll love that blast.

[Phil]

No.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Phil]

They just flew a marking alligator nest over on all our stuff. Nuh. Them boys half crazy, man, dipping that thing around there's. Into the alligator nest like. Oh, no.

[Chris]

Well, you gotta. Hey, you gotta be crazy to fly half that stuff.

[Phil]

You gotta be crazy to throw a spear in an alligator nest, then go land and go get the eggs out of the nest with a mama sitting right there, too.

[Chris]

Why?

[Martin]

Where were they doing this?

[Phil]

Over at Pin Oak. Yeah, they just took like 500 something eggs off of us. Thank God. Last thing we need, 500 more baby alligators.

[Stone]

Oh.

[Phil]

So, I mean, they got to bring some.

[Chris]

They went and robbed the nest, huh? And it was 500 of them.

[Phil]

I mean, by the time they got all the nest. Yeah, yeah. About 500 eggs. Think I got a flea on me. They get about. They get about 40,000 eggs a year.

[Chris]

I'll fix that. We got plenty of Gallaghers.

[Phil]

We got plenty of. We got.

[Chris]

We got a whole bunch of Everglades.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah. Louisiana's got more than Florida.

[Chris]

Well, no, no, I'm saying they say

[Stone]

there's more alligators in Louisiana now than there are humans.

[Chris]

Well, you just think about it. I think about cocoa. That was 62,000 acres.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Or honey break. Honey break. We say like 10 the day we went crappie fishing down there.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Buddy, come frogging with me right now at night and count how. See how many red eyes you can come get you some.

[Hunter]

Why?

[Martin]

Why has there been an explosion of alligators?

[Phil]

Because there ain't nothing to hunt them or kill them.

[Chris]

Nothing.

[Phil]

They protected them for too long. Yeah, yeah, but now they ain't. I mean, now anybody can come here and go alligator hunt and you draw, you get tags, and it's just a license now, so.

[Martin]

Yeah, it's way easier to get a tag now, isn't it?

[Phil]

Praise God, Yes. Used to just be commercial fishing. Basically, it's all it was. But now they are. They are saying it is time.

[Chris]

I never. Maybe so. I hear Phil talk about our running in any. Any trouble, you know, with his nest with I gators.

[Phil]

It wasn't done up here then when he was doing all that. Wasn't many of them up there.

[Chris]

Wasn't many.

[Martin]

And now they're every.

[Phil]

Now they're everywhere now. They and everything. If a ditch holds water for six months, it'll have alligator in it. Like, they're just. They're. They're everywhere.

[Chris]

I can't believe how big. How big they get.

[Phil]

Oh, we got two of them, Buddy, this year.

[Chris]

Oh, No. Y' all gonna kill a big one. That's what got me about big.

[Phil]

Big, big. Great big 13.

[Chris]

They're tank crocodile.

[Phil]

Yeah. I'm had to come get some new hooks.

[Chris]

I got what got me about the crocodile loaded up. Now when Al went over there somewhere and he went walking to town, it had a big pond in the middle of. Had like 15 big crocodiles in it.

[Phil]

Oh, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to hang a koiki with a piece of chicken.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Phil]

See if alligator eats urchin bait. Craze.

[Stone]

Sigh.

[Martin]

Have you seen that?

[Phil]

You know the number one bait in fishing right now. Show him what they look like. Ain't no way Sigh knows what this is.

[Chris]

I may.

[Phil]

He might. I want. I want to get your opinion on whether or not. Now, granted, we just asked the number one bait. If you just saw this, would you think it would catch a fish?

[Chris]

That's the bait.

[Martin]

Number one bait in the world.

[Phil]

In the world of bass fishing.

[Martin]

I've sold 5,000 of them in the last two months.

[Stone]

Do they make a.

[Phil]

And that's only because he couldn't get 10,000.

[Chris]

How big is that?

[Phil]

19 millimeter.

[Martin]

Is there one of my trucks?

[Chris]

No. Like, compared to like an H and H spinner bait.

[Phil]

Bigger.

[Chris]

Bigger.

[Stone]

Bigger.

[Chris]

It's bigger. Way bigger.

[Martin]

It's like this big, huh? It's just a bob, a blob with tentacles.

[Stone]

Huh.

[Martin]

There was one in my truck.

[Stone]

They can't stand it.

[Chris]

What color are they?

[Phil]

Oh, you can get black scooper dong green pumpkin. Green pumpkin pink renegade watermelon.

[Chris]

I could have seen that if it was fishing. The bars. Because it looks like. Yo. Looks like starfish. Huh?

[Phil]

The bars.

[Chris]

Yeah. I can see that being. I can see that being bad.

[Phil]

You get something bad on redfish. Redfish?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Well, a redfish, a dumpster. He'll eat anything anyway.

[Chris]

I guarantee if you take that to the marsh and throw it up against him, all that grass, they'll eat that sucker alive. But I just can't see a bass because I don't buddy. Well, I don't remember anything that resembles that in the water.

[Phil]

There ain't no.

[Chris]

But in the ocean, that would be like some kind of starfish or a. What's the urchin? Jellyfish.

[Phil]

An urchin? Yeah, it's an urchin bait made to look like a sea urchin.

[Chris]

And there is anything like that that lives in fresh water?

[Phil]

Not that I've ever seen.

[Martin]

So I got 300 of those in the other day at the store. I got 300 of those in at the store the other day. They don't sold out in less than 12 hours.

[Stone]

What do they sell for?

[Phil]

All over the board from $8.99.

[Chris]

Ain't no spinner bait or nothing. You know, just a hook.

[Martin]

Put a hook in it and just throw it out there.

[Stone]

And hold on the soft plate. $10 for one soft plastic bait.

[Martin]

The ones everybody wants are Japanese and they're $23.

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Stone]

What makes it better?

[Martin]

It's Japanese.

[Chris]

I don't get it. I don't get it. No, I don't get it. For the simple reason, normally, you know, they would have to have some kind of something that resembles that. That lives in fresh water.

[Stone]

Well, if you invent a bass bait that actually works, you fix to make some money. Well, they're making.

[Phil]

Well, everybody gets done copying you.

[Martin]

Everybody copied them. I caught that tiny fish with that giant fuzzball in Big Dave's pond.

[Phil]

There you go.

[Martin]

Ain't nothing like that in Big Dave's pond.

[Stone]

Have you tried that in Willie's pond yet?

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Phil]

Oh, yeah. He snapped it around.

[Martin]

I never caught anything. And Willie's pond. Willie's fish are rigged or something this year. I think that cousin that's living over there.

[Stone]

Maddox.

[Martin]

Yeah, I think he's ransacking.

[Stone]

Oh, yeah, he's raping and pillaging.

[Phil]

Is he keeping

[Stone]

talk?

[Chris]

I want to talk to Jacob after he fished with this.

[Stone]

Jacob who?

[Phil]

Jacob Wheeler.

[Chris]

Wheeler.

[Martin]

Not Mayo?

[Phil]

No, you can talk to him because he's been fishing with it. It's the craziest thing he caught.

[Martin]

Keeps me up at night.

[Phil]

He won a tournament on chickamauga with it. 29 pounds.

[Chris]

All right.

[Martin]

So you ready to give some people some relationship advice?

[Phil]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Chris]

Hey. Yeah. All right.

[Martin]

Old Joe from southeast Louisiana.

[Phil]

Joe.

[Martin]

Oh, Joe. I know y' all get this type of email a lot, but I'm going through a breakup as of last night. Oh, fresh.

[Phil]

That's freshy.

[Martin]

Love on the rocks. Ain't no big surprise.

[Chris]

How long was this. How long was this romance been going?

[Martin]

This is tough. It was a year and four months.

[Chris]

All right, 14. 14 or what? 16 months.

[Phil]

16 months.

[Martin]

Math was about to get on your.

[Chris]

I guess she was probably a fine thing, too, right?

[Martin]

And he needs to get advice on finding himself and converting to a new routine without her. He goes ahead and honest. Wasn't mutual. He was not interested in this breakup. Good terms, but no intentions of going back, which it was last night, so maybe not. Hold off.

[Chris]

What do you think my first question is? Is what caused the breakup.

[Martin]

He can't answer that bag. He just needs advice. On what?

[Phil]

Go fishing. You're in southeast Louisiana, man. Go fishing.

[Chris]

Hey, no.

[Phil]

What?

[Chris]

Look. That's just one fish in the sea, son.

[Phil]

Yeah, Go fishing.

[Chris]

Hey, that pond is still a year and four months. Hey, that pond is still full of other good looking.

[Phil]

Yeah, go snap your koiki around. Go fishing.

[Chris]

Right. That's it. Hey,

[Martin]

he said go snap.

[Phil]

This is one of your cory around and go fishing.

[Chris]

Go catch one. Yeah. You got to ask yourself, are you a player or not?

[Martin]

Well, I don't think I. He's. He been tied down to one woman

[Chris]

for yeah, but she done left.

[Phil]

Which is why he needs to go snap his porky around and catch one.

[Chris]

Like Martin said. Hey, get your rod real. I'd throw out a bait.

[Phil]

Yeah, snap that pointy around.

[Martin]

Even if it's a stupid looking bait.

[Phil]

Maybe it's all you got.

[Chris]

Maybe if that's all you got. Hey, just keep throwing.

[Phil]

Maybe you got the 8.99 starfish and you want the 23.99.

[Chris]

It's all about the presentation anyway.

[Phil]

It don't matter. Yeah, presentation is key.

[Chris]

Hey, that's right.

[Martin]

Well, what should he do in the meantime between the time he is snapping his corky around.

[Chris]

Here you go. I'll tell you what you do.

[Martin]

Well, I mean, he needs you get

[Chris]

in the shower, you get all cleaned up, come out, put on deodorant.

[Phil]

I do not recommend snapping your in the shower.

[Chris]

Put on your dancing shoes and a good looking whatever. You want to wear dancing shoes and go hike and go like. Like a big mallard Drake does. Then you go make yourself available.

[Phil]

You put on your best socks.

[Chris]

That's right.

[Martin]

Do you have dancing shoes? I don't own any dancing shoes.

[Chris]

Well, then go barefooted.

[Hunter]

Can I add something?

[Phil]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

I had my. My best friend, Pistol. He has a dancing hat.

[Martin]

What.

[Stone]

What's her name? His name. His name is Pistol.

[Martin]

Yeah.

[Hunter]

Yes. Have I never talked about Pistol before?

[Martin]

And it's your best friend.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Chris]

What kind of hat is it?

[Hunter]

It's some black hat, like cowboy hat. But it's a dancing hat. And he would take that everywhere and we would make fun of him.

[Phil]

He's got that weird hat.

[Martin]

Jace. Jace tried to pull off the hat look for a couple months there.

[Stone]

And we were like the fedora, we

[Hunter]

were like, that's so. No, it wasn't a fedora. It was like a cowboy hat. He got.

[Martin]

Cowboy hats are cool.

[Stone]

Well, if your name's Pistol.

[Hunter]

Yeah.

[Stone]

Cowboy hat makes sense.

[Chris]

If your name's what? Yeah.

[Martin]

But if he's your best friend, he's not a cowboy.

[Stone]

His name's Pistol.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Stone]

His friend.

[Chris]

Oh.

[Martin]

But if he's Hunter's best friend, there's no way he's an actual cowboy.

[Hunter]

I wouldn't call him an actual cowboy, but he wore this dumb hat everywhere, and we would like.

[Chris]

You don't actually have to be a cowboy, but hey, if you were, is

[Phil]

that his given nights?

[Chris]

If you wear a hat and your

[Martin]

name's Pistol and it's a he and he's from. He's 71292.

[Chris]

That's one of the things, how you fake it till you make it.

[Hunter]

He's related to the Leonards out out there.

[Stone]

Oh, that makes.

[Phil]

He's related to me. I don't know no cousin named Pistol. My mama's a Leonard before she was a Martin.

[Martin]

71292.

[Hunter]

Wow.

[Phil]

All them lunatics, man. Anyway, autumn lunatics we used to make.

[Hunter]

We make fun of him every time we go out, and he would take it out with him. We're like, nah, I just wonder. It doesn't work. And then every time we would go out, it would get him talking to girls every single time.

[Martin]

So maybe he needs a dance in the hat.

[Hunter]

So I don't knock the. The dancing boots too much, but the dancing hat definitely works.

[Stone]

Good quote, dancing hat. No, he's a black leather jacket with a tiger cowboy hat. Or did he have a dragon?

[Martin]

It was dragon.

[Stone]

Dragon.

[Phil]

Dragon jacket over.

[Chris]

Keith had a good song about that.

[Martin]

What?

[Phil]

How do you like me now? Would have been a cowboy.

[Chris]

That's one of them.

[Martin]

Which one are you thinking of?

[Phil]

American soldier.

[Chris]

Well, can't even remember the name right

[Phil]

now, but he had solo cup.

[Chris]

He went through the whole thing, and he run into two ladies there talking, a big smile on his face.

[Phil]

Oh, boy, oh, boy, boy. I ain't as good as.

[Martin]

Oh, there it is.

[Chris]

I was not as good once as I ever was.

[Phil]

Are you really, though? Are you really?

[Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil]

You're as good once as you ever was.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil]

How long it take you to recover?

[Martin]

We've given you no advice.

[Phil]

Yeah, I snap.

[Chris]

Bill used to say. He was talking. Old man was asking about that. The old man told him, said, hey, you gonna find. You guys found somebody else. I'm still doing all right.

[Phil]

There you go.

[Hunter]

What did the email say? Something about a routine.

[Phil]

Yeah. No routine. Go fishing.

[Hunter]

What if he just breaks up the routine?

[Chris]

Look, it's the old deal. You can't catch them, and you're recliner.

[Phil]

He's still talking about women. I'm talking about go fishing.

[Martin]

He don't want no woman life right now.

[Phil]

Go fishing.

[Chris]

This you can't catch up sitting in

[Phil]

your recliner down south they are biting. Go, go fish.

[Stone]

Use. Use that for motivation to get yourself in tip top physical shape. And then you get you a higher grade woman.

[Chris]

Well, hey, I'll give you my.

[Stone]

I'm with Stone.

[Phil]

Perhaps she was too high doing 100

[Chris]

push ups a day.

[Phil]

Or we can go Phil Robertson. Perhaps she was too high of a grade and he just needs to find him a homely pull. Courtly.

[Chris]

Hey.

[Martin]

Oh, what do you mean?

[Chris]

You gonna marry this years.

[Martin]

Not even know if she can cook.

[Chris]

What's this man's name again?

[Martin]

Old Joe.

[Stone]

Well Joe, you got a Bible verse good luck.

[Chris]

Oh no, I don't.

[Martin]

I'm so. I'm so worried about single life.

[Phil]

I'm still confused about a boy named Pistol. Because you know, Pistol is the female part of the flower.

[Hunter]

He's named after a star.

[Stone]

Pistol Pete.

[Hunter]

The. I guess one of the brightest stars out there. He's homeschooled.

[Martin]

Why'd you have to add that?

[Hunter]

It feels needed out at the farm. There's not a whole lot of people around.

[Martin]

Psalm23 4.

[Chris]

He's hot on a two dollar pistol.

[Stone]

Yeah.

[Martin]

We are in the shadow of death right now. And even though I walk in the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Hey, you might not have a woman, but you got the Lord take comfort in that.

[Phil]

Pick up your rod. Pick up your rod and your staff and go fish.

[Chris]

That's right. That's right.

[Martin]

Hey, we might see y' all next time on the Duck Call Room. We might be.

[Phil]

There's a chance we're fired.

[Stone]

We're out.

[Chris]

All right, boy. Sam.
