I know, but I'm worried Phil put them up somewhere like the 1970s where there weren't no TVs. No, something tells me the problem is he's still in 1970 and wherever he's at in 2026. That could be true. It's probably the true issue of it. Not the U.S. I mean, the U.S. is doing all right. Have y'all been watching the LSU baseball? The Olympics. I enjoy it. To me, watching them folks bobsled as I was recovering from the flu was actually. But you didn't see the dude finish skiing backwards? No, I ain't seen nobody. Cy, this dude was on, I think they call it the moguls, where it's just a bunch of bumps, and it looks like you're trying to hurt yourself. Yeah. And he got all twisted up, and then he ended up backwards, and then he just kept going backwards. Really? And he won. Did he get style points? He should have. I don't know. What were they doing? He was on skis. Yeah, but I'm saying, like, what was it? like a on the ice ice skis a lot of different skin on the blades oh my favorite was how is there a lot of different skin there's like freestyle where they're doing oh the half pipes no there's just this is just the whole i know what moguls are but i like to watch racing i can't without his name he's all up get up in the air oh that the big big sky or where freestyle that jump last night the ski jump where they start on like the top of the roller coaster yeah and ride that thing all the way down yeah them boys flying 140 meters in the air are you kidding me i would have a heart of dude i watched this red bull thing the other day i like to watch them get up there because they are they are up there buddy this dude broke like the world record for longest ski jump i forgot how many meters he jumped but it was i didn't know they i didn't know they went as fast as they go i will say the cool thing about the winter olympics is most every sport involves a potential for a serious injury oh yeah like the summer's like you know pretty you can run 100 pretty bland yeah i get her like pop a hammy them folks doing the winter olympics everything they do can get except maybe the curlers i don't know but it'd be hard to get you smash your finger yeah i guess uh get your foot caught on one of them big old pieces well i know one thing they ain't scared of heights no no i am i know their adrenaline is just pumping out the roof oh you big rascal you know won't land think about if you were up there about to go down some like 100 foot drop to hit a ramp and do i'm trying to figure out how to avoid speed skate like how they're basically at a 45 with the ground the whole time like just skating real fast yeah i know but like one hand on i mean how do they i don't understand how that little thin piece of metal martin keeps them upright we can't even slow skate no we shouldn't even try and figure out what speed skating if anything's been proven i can't walk on ice oh no no no that's what keeps him up going to speed what oh he is on your microphone jacob i'm serious the fly's back he is on your microphone i'm so scared do not miss this shot uh-oh he's there i hear eminem in the background no chance Oh what was that I hit him It was like you were afraid to break a microphone Oh what about that That was close I hit him we gotta replay that I fixed a tear one That might be the biggest Is that the good the bad and the ugly Where the We're gonna take a break in the action Oh Did you get him Yeah I knocked him off I almost killed him. Well, he knocked him down off of one of the... I mean... One of those light bulbs, Hunter, that are big circles in the sky. Hunter doesn't have his microphone. What, the lanterns? Yeah, this is a weird room. A Japanese lantern? Yeah, it really... It kind of looks like the Japanese, like, New Year lantern. I'll give Cy this. I haven't seen him since he swung at it. That's a good call. Look, y'all know we believe the story of Easter is the most beautiful story ever told, But sometimes, because we know it so well, we can forget what it actually costs. What if this year you slowed down and considered the cost? That's actually the idea behind Tim Tebow's new book, If the Tree Could Speak. Hey, can you stop talking? I'm reading this book right now. Hey, it's going to tell you the story of the crucifixion from a perspective you've never heard before from the cross itself. It's one of those books that makes you stop and think and really picture what that day was like. The illustrations are beautiful. Every page leads you to really feel the weight of the crucifixion moment. And even if you know the story, this book gives you a fresh way to see it. You'll reflect, think, and deepen your faith. Look, reading it, you step inside the story, hear the witness, and ultimately experience Easter like never before. Are you ready for the best spoiler about the book ever? Page 108 is the best. He is risen. He is risen. The king is alive right there for you. There you go. And this one's worth checking out. you'll see the crucifixion differently than ever before if the tree could speak by tim tebow is available now on amazon order your coffee today what's louisiana's best like olympic athlete like ever as like we produced anybody in the olympics that um peyton manning what for football yeah it's the olympic i'm talking about like outside of like football i'm talking about gymnast or you know track runner do we have like a that guy from lafayette who he's the pole vaulter yeah i'm about to say pole vaulter yeah uh what's his name duplantis yeah duplantis or something he he was at lsu for sweden but uh yeah no i'm talking about america well he's he's from here i know he did lsu right he's a walter at lsu uh shakari richardson's from america from america from louisiana i know there's some fast she's fast some track runners yeah some hmm yeah we're all track and field that's good though something i figured at some point we'd have had one of them trap shooters or something but i guess not oh yeah that's all people here just shoot it whatever they see you gotta go to a proper place to get a trap shooter yeah that's a good point yeah we don't really have any gun clubs like that where you can shoot rings and stuff yeah no we just shoot it we just shoot oh well we eat it size threatening to shoot a fly right now it's a hollow point into the ceiling of duck commander wouldn't be the first one that's the western that was me yeah would definitely be the second one that's been shot in the ceiling of this place the hole still there they redid that roof didn't they oh yeah harry had that redone yeah i put a hole in the roof one time just to see we needed to test our security um so you did it i i you volunteered i said we'll see how good our security is so we took a shotgun shell i don't know that we can air this i emptied out all the bbs left the wad in and the powder and the powder and boom desk pop yeah and shot flies with it no i just shot the ceiling it went into the ceiling yeah the wad and stuck in the ceiling and uh nobody ever showed up to see if i was okay so no there you go daddy had his 16 gauge shotgun he had a stick where it would fit in it perfectly inside a shotgun hole and you know and that had the powder still in it and i shot catfish with it what hold on so the stick was your bb's bowfish oh no both babies out yeah and they had a it was a Spears is what it was.

I want to see it. so you're you're riding out into a rodeo oh yeah i gotta get into these trips they seem way different than what me and willie used to do yeah size are a little more experiential i think would be the maybe only oh i'm looking forward to this one this will be fun i'm looking forward to you i'm planning on riding the horse no oh yeah in some part of it i'll fix ride a horse if i wasn't going to minnesota i'd just go over because it's so close i mean it's just in jackson basically what day there it is i would ride a bull we need to make an ai i ain't riding a bull but i will ride a horse can somebody ai sigh riding a bull hey i'll ride a horse and guarantee it's coming about that i'll ride a horse and shoot some bull i think i would that's more my style okay i'll let the bull riders rise why don't you just beat a clown again oh yeah i done tried that i know it worked that ain't fun that's work huh that's work that is work try that on talk that's a bunch of work not if not if you don't just if you're the one that makes it the last one at the poker game all you gotta do sit there remember well now i could play that part i could play that part hey dad said he whooped you up the other night in poker hey i just go ahead and get run know did you hear me i'm gonna win no you did you hear me dad said he whooped you in poker last night oh i hey your dad yeah he said uh he said don't thank me thank si for dinner that's what he told me i gotta get big days to take me to dinner a lucky wrestler got him done got him we were going out to eat he looked at billy said you should tell si thank you next time you know no Well, your dad has got a full-grown mule with brand-new shoes on up his rear end. There it is. I knew where it was going. I knew exactly. When I heard the term full-grown mule, I knew where it was going to be located. I started to call Plunk on him the other night. I left him to come in there and hook it up and pull it out of it. Get that tow truck on us. He's lucky. That's right. He's lucky. You're just not that good. No, he's actually good, too. but he is lucky he is lucky are you lucky oh ever century or so century once a quarter yeah listen we've always been honest with y'all the truth around here is that we like to eat good ain't that right boys hey hey ain't nothing better than a ham sandwich but the older i get i know i need to start eating better and taking care of myself that's why i decided to make some changes this year yeah but you ain't doing one of them rabbit food diets are you not a chance i called the team over at phd weight loss after i saw i lost 80 pounds they got me on a plan so i can lose some weight without giving up the things i love like good food i'm three weeks in and my pants are already feeling a little looser i'm not hungry i'm eating real food and i don't have to spend a bunch of time trying to figure out some crazy workout routine yeah look and if you're like goblin and you've tried all the other diets keto paleo fasting they're all the same the weight drops and then it sneaks right back on and the problem is it can feel like it's your problem like it's a willpower problem but it's not there's one thing that tells your body to burn fat or store it and most diets miss it phd weight loss has figured that out and built a plan that actually works with your body not against it they got all kind of recipes on the website the food's good it's stuff i like if you go out and eat which is great for us you know we're speaking a lot and uh do you got a little cheat sheet like if you go here this is what you can order that's what i always fall off is i know yeah and look if you call now they'll give you two free weeks in the program and pay for your food so you can finally see real results without more trial and error if you're done with yo-yo dieting and want clarity call phd weight loss now and mention no more guessing just answers call 864-644-1900 and say that's 864-644-1900 or visit myphdweightloss.com math is beauty all right is that like a final point i'm just saying hey if math is music you look into it yeah so i look i've read about 25 books trying to learn how to play that guitar uh yeah what if you need to watch a video because i know well hey watching video too i've tried that yeah because here's the thing that gets me when i go to a live concert and i watch the guitar players right most of the whole night okay is they play the first four frits on that guitar. That's as far as they go. You can play literally the first four frets. You can literally play thousands of songs. So there's shortcuts, y'all, in anything. Everything you get into, there's always shortcuts. You mean like notes or you mean literal frets on there? Well, no, no, that's another thing. It's actually music and math is complicated. very complicated nothing more complicated than this you're right no i'm serious i'm serious too because there's stuff that goes on it just goes on and on on like eternity what's the highest number you ever counted huh what's the highest number you ever counted to oh i can't hear you oh he's how we can't hear you hey at least put the mic to your mouth so he can hear like you could speak what's the highest number you ever counted to the highest number all millions yeah how long did it take you to count them a lifetime how long hey how many have you ever finished 99 bottles of beer on the wall i have twice no because i i drank that much i pass out why does it sound different why does it sound different with him holding the mic it does because the mic angle he's holding it the mic pointed in a direction on that thing oh okay there you go counting to one million requires you to say 13 million 198 and three syllables which is an average of 13.2 syllables per number counting at 6.15 syllables a second it would take you 2 million 136 thousand 17 seconds to complete if you count it for 16 hours a day it would take 37.3 days or 1.2 months to count to that's how long you carry i thought That's why I told you a lifetime. I told you it took me a lifetime. I'm serious, but hey. Do I need to give them my mic? Maybe. We need to get a math teacher in here and a musical teacher in here. You don't have to hold the mic. Oh, I'm good. He likes gripping that thing. Hunter said, you don't have to hold the mic, and Si said, I'm good. Well, I am. All right, we got Si's mic fixed. We're back in action on this another. Somebody find the music teacher And somebody find the mathematician Put it on your mouth And let's have both of them in here It's because he's got his beard in it He's doing this right here You got talking to him He's side-mouthing Was I wrinkling in your ears? You still sound like you're underwater A little muffled actually I still sound like I'm underwater? No, you're good You're just going to turn him down, one of the two side you can't talk to the side of the mic you have to talk dead center dead center right into it not above it not below it not to the side we've lost it today ladies and gentlemen we've lost the plot boys we have lost is this okay why are you posing you look relaxed i'm not posing i'm relaxed he said we could carry on with the podcast how do we carry on with what we've done so far yeah music is math we don't we let it down i actually look that up is that true what does ai say nobody knows well i just got a message on facebook that says before i vote our biggest complaint is our road cr 3060 it has caused multiple damages to our vehicles what or he promised to fix it and failed so my question is are you promising the same thing and then blow us off too which cory we taxpayers want our road fixed correctly and promptly apparently i'm running for office now i gotta figure out a justin martin that's running for all martin is going into politics because i need to see what i'm up against justin martin election let's just see i wasn't built for political hey google this oh boy google this i nervous oh apparently i running for county commissioner in lubbock county nice We going to Lubbock boys Getting back to the basics of Lubbock I was about to say CR36 We ain't got no county roads. All right, Si. What do you want me to Google? Against my better judgment. Google is music map. Yeah, I thought you looked it up. I did. It's a controversial question that a lot of people disagree with you on and a lot of people agree with you on. Oh. hot take i want to see what this guy let us know in the comments is music math we'll we'll look at that next time forget all the disagreement and the just in fact just answer the question is music man what does it read it what it says music is deeply rooted in mathematics using race that's all i need to hear boys stop that's all i need to hear me and this guy if it's rooted in it okay that means it's yeah that's what it is there you go music is not solely defined by math as it also serves as a creative emotional form of experience now they're back i said it right out front okay it is it's it's rooted in math it's rooted in the foundation it is math it's foundational could be that's right it's the foundation there you go i just had to tell miss janice i think she's got the wrong person because otherwise you could never could get started that's why they say one two three good that's not math that's counting well i would say what is one two three four that's counting no that's math it's a one it's a two it's a three and it's a four get up in there get up in there and yell at me yeah forget what i have to forget the google forget the google forget the google that's right forget the google all they want to go is argue about it huh anyway yeah what a life well so i guess what i did this morning what did you do i went to career day career day yeah i think i saw you were on a panel where did you have a career at my old high school you went to career day on high school well i was i was a presenter what were you labeled the children asked me questions oh what did you present well whatever they asked the problem was it was you do this for your son No, no, no. This was the high, I was asked, actually. What were you labeled as? A businessman. Well, you're getting up there in the world, John. Yeah, I remember. There you go. I asked them if they'd ever heard a nom, and none of them had, like you did on Duck Dynasty. No, it was, I wasn't nervous at all. And then I got there, and it was a lawyer who was like 15 years younger than me, a teacher who was like 20 years younger than me, somehow. You were the elder? and a nurse practitioner she was actually at least a punk too no they were all all of them were very nice people i don't know i'm not all three of them was young punks no no they were great two females and one female i was the only male i don't know why why is it logical hey they're young all young people are punks yeah didn't you know me didn't you know that yeah you know okay so this you'll like this so we answered questions about college everything our jobs and all that and i was like well they asked me what my day-to-day looks like and the lawyer started and i think and i didn't understand anything she said because she's way smarter than me then the nurse practitioner went and i was like i got nothing i don't i couldn't do that either then the teacher talked and i was like i couldn't do that either and then it came to me and i was like well when i get to work at six i sweep a cricket cage first to get all the dead ones out then we go flush all the dead shiners down the toilet and everybody laughed and i was like y'all that's not a joke this that's no that's what i do that's what i do yeah that's life okay the crickets die i gotta get them out of the caves yeah somebody gotta do it it was funny then the shiners die and i gotta get them out of the water do you feel like the other panelists were judging you no i think they were they were they probably were happy i was there because all them were like oh i went to school for this i was like i went to school for six years and just guessed at what i wanted to do with my life so it was fun though i would go back well so you're honest when you said okay i just guessed it what i was going to do it if you're honest you just go do something i have to teach you that if i wish i'd been there to ask you a question oh man i was oh no i asked my i asked my algebra teacher i said okay here i got a question for you there we're back at math yeah yeah and he said what i said okay i said i probably will be a laborer skilled okay no and i said how am i gonna use algebra in my job algebra if i like i'm a pipe fitter okay how am i gonna use that pipe fitting is all math you don't know fitting is way more math You know what he told me? He just exploded. You know what he told me? He said, I can't answer that question. He didn't know what pipe fitting was. Pipe fitting is 100% math, Si. And then I asked another one. I said, okay, wait a minute. I said, yo, I spent 12 years going to school. That's good. From one to 12. Okay, great. You skipped kindergarten? No, I didn't go to kindergarten. But anyway. That's a shame. They got nap time. If you're an educational person, Once you graduate from high school, the next step is you go to college. Allegedly. Depending on what you study to become, it may be four to eight years, especially if you get a master and a BA. It took me that long, and I didn't. Okay. I asked the same question. I said, what am I going to do? I said, because here's what I'm fighting right now. I've got friends that have graduated two years ahead of me. Mm-hmm. Okay. They've went to college. They've got two degrees. In two years? Yeah. And I said, and guess what? His friends are accelerated. Guess why they're working? And guess what they hear when they go and apply for a job? I'm nervous. Yeah, I don't know. Is that, I'm sorry, sir, or ma'am, I can't use you. You're too educated. You're overqualified. My question is, why do you want to get an education? If all they're going to do is tell you, you're too educated. If you're stressed about getting out of debt, it is go time. Seriously, this is one of the moments where timing actually matters. Because you know what? It's a new year. Nobody wants to be stuck in debt. Look, Done With Debt is one of the best I've seen at Navigating Debt Relief. 2025 was a record year. They enrolled over $102 million in debt for our listeners and others. And this is why I'm telling you this now. According to the Federal Reserve's latest survey, many banks have tightened their standards. And right now may be your best window to negotiate settlements before lenders tighten even further. Look, Dumbwood Debt tracks credit card company and loan behavior. They're experienced at knowing who is negotiating and when. So whether you're carrying $10,000 or $500,000 in debt, this may be the best chance you'll get all year long. Do not wait for the lenders to tighten up their policies because everybody loses. Look, all you have to do is schedule a free consultation. There's no pressure. And it only takes a few minutes. Share who you owe. And they'll tell you if this is the moment you could see a major reduction in your debt. Never really struggled with debt. Thank goodness. But if I did this, I would call them so fast because it's easy. It's free. Why wouldn't you try? You nobody wants to be buried under the weight of debt. But let's get out of it.

You know, I was at NWTF this weekend, and there's a lot of kids that listen to us. Yeah. A lot of kids that what? Listen to us. No. No, no. Look, I'm just stating facts. Okay? Doubling down. Well, I'm just stating facts. Yeah. Because, look, college is not for every child. No. Yeah, true. Truth. Truth. Because, hey, look, this world would just stop.

Making the dead crickets and showers out of the stuff. That's just how I start my day. It's not the whole day. Well, you know, I'm just saying, okay. No, I don't know. Here's why, okay. But you need to finish one through 12. Well, no, no. Yeah, finish high school. Here's why, okay. I did not do well in college. Oh, boy. Okay. No, no, no. This is serious. I'm listening. Okay.

No, no. home in their head that was one problem okay yes okay yes the male species okay all right are it takes them longer to mature yeah they're very female absolutely okay it takes you 26 years to pull your head out your rear end I was immature okay that's why I didn't do good in college self-awareness goes further than most things yep so like i you know i ain't uh against education just out of curiosities yeah say when did you mature i haven't okay i just wondered if you ever got to a point you know what i know look that is that's me being honest also yeah i was wondering if you were like you know what i made it here i'm finally is it self-inflicted no no i well no no i don't think i'll ever mature oh how come those adult adulthood does not interest me okay you are boring once you reach adult when did most people i think i'm an adult i'm not boring yeah you are i'll just stay i'll just stay a child yeah with adult responsibilities look it ain't for me when did you figure that out when did you figure that out like that decision trying to figure out i'm saying did you make that decision at like 25 or you were just like well no because here's the thing adults are not any fun right i'm saying when did you discover that okay when did you discover that long time ago i didn't know if there's like a defining moment in your life graduation day at boot you need to look at me and really look at me open your mind and really look at me and see me for what i am i've done that okay i've seen i'm about a i still can't make sense of what i see trapped in a 78 year old 14 year old yeah 14 didn't even get to 16 no yeah i ain't seen him drive yeah well i remember the bridge let's end it see that brother to you that males are it takes a long time to mature pretty small so you never even saw you never even got to fully developed then if you stopped at 14 no no i haven't i haven't no you fully developed amber you got two kids biologically speaking my friend you have fully developed i almost asked them if they wanted me to bring side and i'm pretty sure i'm they're glad they're glad i didn't at this point they are the dropout rate would have been high we would have had a big time oh i had fun you would have I had them debating music math the whole time. I mean, I'm music class. Here's what's so funny about this. I was on Unashamed early this morning. Uh-huh. Okay. Oh, that's why you're so wound up. I mentioned my daughter and said, no, something's wrong here. And I said, well, I understand. I said, because I had to, my daughter told me, called me one time, said, I want you to call me tomorrow. You've got to talk to my student. Oh, boy. okay because they was talking in her classroom when she was walking in our check for life yo and and they was talking about duck dynasty yo and then they said well mr uh miss uh i can't even think of her husband's last name anyway coburn huh coburn yeah this is coburn yo how do i know your daughter's last name and you don't know they was talking about duck dynasty and when they said well you know They said something about me, and Tracy said, no, I don't watch it. That's my dad. Do you know Scott's last name? No. I couldn't help myself. You got hung up there. Y'all may laugh now, but hey, this is coming your way too, buddy. Oh, Tracy. Oh, what's your face? My daughter. You forget things. Okay. but anyway they said so I had to call her and talk to the kids and say hey yeah that's my daughter and Al and Jason both said no that's something wrong I said well look the theory is that babies were switched when she was in the hospital and Jason that's what I figured somewhere in Germany there's a lady figuring out hey I don't fit in with these people there's some crazy redneck lady in germany speaking german walking around rolling her pizzas up she got 12 12 that a full denture here oh no no you better send her to missouri number one i told tracer i said i said tracer look number one you you drop dead beautiful i said then number two you very highly intelligent and i said when i look in the mirror i don't see either one of them in my in the mirror well what about never mind i ain't even gonna get you in this kind of trouble oh don't even go down that road no i don't know i was gonna i was gonna say well what about christine but i just i didn't want you to have to answer that so that's my my point she got the brains from her mother oh okay so you just don't know if you're the dad huh well she definitely come out of christine yeah we can't confirm we can't confirm that that is ridiculous well that's another thing too like she was a miracle baby and so was scotch yeah no trace or robertson don't let them fool you through and through yes that's why i wanted to tell you and your wife don't worry about it if you're meant to have kids hey he'll take care of it it'll happen he'll take care of it don't worry about it oh man well i didn't know career day was going to get you that excited but it was fun yeah i did tell i did one kid asked me directly does he actually need a degree to be successful no no well no no because here's the whole thing you gotta you need his work ethic it's really amazing i only had a minute so i had to fly through it but I said, no. I said, but that piece of paper means something to somebody because it means you can finish things. I said, and I'm going to be honest with all y'all. I will say this. None of you kids know how to finish anything you started. Well, no, no, because I will say this. There it is. The degree, the paper they give you, okay, it will get you in doors that without it, you won't go through. Yeah. Especially if you were the three people sitting next to me that all needed certifications. It just proves that you're willing to stick it out. that was my point Phil said it he had two degrees he said I understand why you didn't do good in college he said all it is is an endurance test and you just said to heck with the endurance I ain't putting up with it it's a good point but he gave your country 24 and a half years but he did take a nap every day but 24 and a half Hey, that's one thing that, hey, I think I probably is the only human being that has spent 24 and a half years in the military and got a nap every day of my life. But that's more impressive. 24 and a half years in the military, way more impressive than a four-year piece of paper. Definitely. Oh. And the fact that you're as together as you are is incredible. Well, no, no. That's the amazing part. Yeah. Okay. Because I'm watching kids because that's one of the best things about getting old. When you get old, you have the time to sit and watch and observe. Think about all this junk going on. Right. Okay. Because it's totally amazing to see these kids, you know, go from a little child to a grown young woman or a grown young man. It's an amazing process. it really it really is and you just uh you've watched me grow up are you impressed no no well no no i have yeah because like me when me and you met i was about 3 15 yeah you didn't grow up you you shrank down but you got more you were already grown yeah full big girl extra big girl When you have kids, things change, right?
