Jep Robertson’s New Project Is Unlike Anything He’s Done

All right. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. Greetings and salutations. You're never going to get over that. No heck no man. That guy is fantastic. I just want to see him again. Can we get, he's got a podcast voice. He could be here, but uh yeah, I'm sure if you're watching this on YouTube by now you just got excited. You see our guest. We have a special guest, Jeff Robertson. Yo, yo, yo. The youngest of Phil's sons is back with us in the duck call room. And now I was going to sit in your first time without Jessica just most of the time y'all are a team on that stuff. So they tend to be a team. She's way better than I am always going to things, but I try. Well, I ain't saying you're in a Tuesday, son. You know, besides your neighbor now, right? No. I was like, he doesn't know. There's no way he knows. You drive right by side multiple times a day now. Yeah. Going to your, going to y'all's house. Yeah. I can see size. Are y'all messing with me? No. No. Oh, hey. Look at this happen. Cy? Well, hey, my house was eat up with mold. Oh, hey, they stripped that sucker down to the studs. I want to act surprised. I'm just really not surprised. No, this is not a duck dynasty episode. Yeah. Hey. Oh. It's like the most reality TV script ever written. And then you moved somewhere else. But your house was at that point. No, no, no. Then I moved somewhere else. I'm saying house loosely. Hey, look, look. First we moved. That's back. We're doing the ice storm. Move to a house on hilltop. I could see why you did that. Okay. Because I wouldn't want to be. Oh, look, hey, yeah, but here's the thing. Mine didn't lose part of the whole time. Well, the one we moved into did. Yeah. So we moved in, paid for a place and then he got no heat. Yo. Would you rather have power or be mold? The whole time we was in that part. No, I'm saying would you rather have power or be mold free? Which one of those is more? Give me the mine. Well, really? Oh, no. I'd rather be mold free because this cost me a pretty little penny. Get all this crap done. Well, it's a good thing. I mean, it ain't like you ain't got it. Jeff, I'd rather know how I'm going to die than not. Like I don't like the mold because that's the silent killer. Well, no, no, hey, look. Whether it's freeze to death or whatever. Sorry about that. Christine, you know, Christine coming in at one time, just went in the kitchen there and she said, what is that? It stinks. Because my nose is gone. You know, so and I said, well, I have no idea because I can't smell it. Well, they got to look around and hey, it was that thick. He's holding his fingers up as they judge mold by thing. That thick on the inside of the walls because the guy come in with just a telephone and he had some help on it and he was going against the wall and he said, look at this right here. It was two inches thick and you needed an app. Hey, that was that. You know, the whole house was aided up with it. Okay. Because you know, I mean, it's like growing like this thick on the walls. Two inches inside. Yeah. So you're gutting the house. Yeah. All right. They just stripped it down to the studs. Start over. Are you going to go back? Are you enjoying living? No, we're right now. Did you save the axles? Did you save the axles? No. Hey, look, hey, look, we had big cabinets in there that we had made real pretty and all that. Hey, well, they had bowling too. Down. So they're gone. At what point do you just start over? Right. Huh? Do what? At what point do you just say, you know what? Well, no, no, because I just kept saying, hey, we got to tear this up. We got to tear this up. Well, you're going to lose this. You're going to lose this because, hey, we're still finding them all. So they finally said, okay, yeah, we found it and it stopped. And then we killed it. Okay. And then they've got a special paint that mainly what they do is they scrub it down and spray it down with junk. And then they just seal it in with paint. Okay. In case it tries to come back. Yeah. So all that's done, then they put it in everything and just does the day. Christine was one over to check and they said, well, the floor, people will come in and put it in the floor and say, well, we can't put it in. And Christine said, why not? Tell me why they didn't use the right kind of wood to put down on the floor for us to put the air flow on it. So now they had to go to Lowe's get new lumber, reflower it. Yeah. And then, hey, then put the stupid floor in that we wanted. We're going to end up having a case for Judge Steve Harvey. We are. I feel this. Well, no, no, I feel like you getting taken to the cleaners. Well, no, no, of course, if anything happens, whatever. No, there's gonna be a lawsuit. Oh, lawsuit. Hey, y'all gonna be hearing from more and more. Oh, yeah. Robert E. Knight. Because, hey, if it comes back, I saw this. No, somebody thinks that, hey, pay me back. Y'all wait till y'all hear from Gordon. We're going to get it done. Yeah, because I guarantee you. And get it done. People not from Louisiana don't get it. We have a lawyer. I will set a bunch of them on them. No, they get it. It's everywhere you go. We're the worst. No, that's right. We are the worst. Yeah, absolutely. We're the worst. Lawyer every two. I met one of them. I've always said we live in crackerjack boxes. Yeah. That's true. You've always said that? Oh, yeah, I've always said that. Especially when the tornado comes through and it shows you how tough your house is. That's true. Yeah. So it ain't tough. So do you want to go back? Oh, no, yeah, we're going back. Okay, you don't want to stay up there with us. No, no. We're going back. Urban Phil's. After spending this kind of money, oh, yeah, we're going back. Well, I hate you. What's your bill? Huh? What's your bill? No, that's... Oh, I ain't going to even tell you the bill. Are you the six digits yet? I just keep signing checks right now. Yeah. I'm going to have to get in line. I'm going to have to put an M voice in your house. No, hey. I don't have to. Put one in the mailbox, see if it gets paid. Yeah, just slide one in there, see, and just put because. I hate all the hapsies, but hey, if it makes you feel any better, before I came up here, I was making chicken pot pies that I'm going to make tonight if you want to eat one. Hey, no, hey. I haven't you heard, don't you know the news about me and chicken pot pies? You don't eat them? That ain't it. No. That ain't it. That ain't it. Hey, that's the thing. He said that ain't much, boys. No, we once a long leaf plantation over there for homes of hope for, you know, the quail hunt they always paid me with. You know, that one was famous for her chicken pot pie, where she brought it in there and said, down the plane, when I said, what is this? She said, chicken pot pie. I said, hey, I don't do chicken pot pie, dog. So rude. You just don't. I heard her feelings. I hate that I heard her feelings, but I didn't say, I don't like chicken pot pie. If I'm going to eat chicken, it'll be fried. But thanks for the offer. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's the, to me, the ultimate comfort food. No, no, throw a bunch of chicken and a bunch of, so your beans and peas and all this other stuff. I don't put peas in that. Call it a pie. No, please. No, when you talk pie to me, it's chocolate, coconut. Coconut. You don't like crawfish pie? You don't like crawfish pie that dad used to make? No. No. No. So I'm sorry. Is it just the word pie? Get to pay and all that stuff. No. No. No. I'm out. No. I'm out. He likes one. Good food. No. No, I don't want it. He likes that. I'm very dressing. I'm very hard to please when it comes to actually food. Yeah. He actually eats like a toddler. So, um, I like easy things. He loves a moobar. I don't. Hold on, hold on. I'm just kidding. But now you got teeth so you can start eating adult food. It doesn't make any difference to teeth or not. No teeth. I still ain't eating old chicken pie. He said I like things that are easy to eat like a hot dog. Like a hot dog. You can't grab it at a gas station size. He's broken it all that stuff. Yep. Pickled eggs. Ooh. How you know he likes them. Oh, pickle quail eggs. You eat pickle quail eggs from a gas station? What? Do you eat them eggs in the jar? No. Pickled eggs? No. Oh, that's the one pickle thing you don't eat? Oh, I don't know. Okay. Yeah, yeah. He said ooh. Because you eat a jar of olives a night. So, yeah. Oh, I doubt olives, yeah. With jalapenos in them. You better believe it. Y'all in there like bread and butter pickles. How much longer are you in the neighborhood? How long? All probably the end of April, I imagine. Oh, you get to Easter egg hunt with Si. And keeps getting pushed back. Yeah, no, I figured it'd be the end of April before we actually get moved back in. Well, look, since your everything has to be packed up and move somewhere else. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, they're waiting on the floor and everything to get the green light. So, okay, now you can start moving all the junk back in. Because here's the deal. I've got to get a new oven. And all this because that had more. The oven had more. Oh, no. Hey, you talk about a disease. You might want to. When it moves in, hey. They want to get a new contractor. Hey. I don't want to mention that the red, white and blue roof. Don't even go there, cause, hey. Did your roof get to stay? Are your shingles still the same color? Hey, far as I know, they do. Still got the red, white and blue roof. That's good. Praise God. And I'm there. Thank you for you. Think about how much time we used to spend just trying to keep up with where our money was going.

But he's waiting because it's so far beyond the bayou. Beyond this room. I did not plan on doing another TV show, anything like that. It wasn't. Me and my wife met a hire up at one of these networks. And just one of the coolest cats. And it's funny because I watched a lot of TV. He did not believe me. I was like, oh no, I watched your channel. And he was like, really? And I said, oh yeah. And he said, why? I said, well, they got a lot of classics on there. They got some murder she wrote, which I love me some murder she wrote. See, I'm like an old timer. I like the old timey. You watched the murder she wrote. Oh, dude, I grew up watching that on my grandma. Oh, I forgot it. That's a drama show. Oh, it's good. I can't believe we did this. A good clean show. You got to figure out who did it. You don't know. My grandma could figure it out in about five minutes. Granny. Oh, cornhole. Yeah, why not all? Oh, yeah. Ball was pretty sharp. Very sharp. She loved her some murder she wrote. But she loves her Bob Barker too. Yeah. But. Mound down. Mound down. The network is called Great American Family. Great American Media, they own a few things, but they also on Pure Flix, which they approached us and were like, hey, we'd like to do something with you guys. And we're like, and they've never really done any reality stuff, which is kind of cool. We're trusting and got on this deal because it was kind of like, what do y'all want to do? I mean, what do we want to do for the show? Because we don't. What do you got anything planned? You know what I'm saying? Something big, you know, we got going. And it and he was like, well, we're like, well, we got this ranch. It takes us, we're talking about building these, which is cool. Y'all are going to freak out. I think when I got to be on here once we start doing some stuff because I think you're going to like it because it's pretty cool. We're building some really cool places to stay. I could hold to. They're themed like Airbnb's, but they very unique stays. Unique. Unique Airbnb's? Yes. They're not like your typical dwellings. What? These are. Like are you building the Shire Frodo? Whoa, he gave me a look. You're getting hot. I know who your first guest is going to be. Hunters, yeah. Me and Hunter are coming over. Hunter's going to go spending the night watching, catch a movie. So how it came about was me and I have a friend Lance that we got like Tatooine houses over here. We haven't graduated to the Star Wars universe, but that's not out of the question. Not out of the question. Man, I'll use the president's deal. All options are on the table. So I met this guy with me and Jay Smith years ago, a couple years ago. We were doing the Duck Family Treasure Show, which was fun. And if you haven't seen that show, it's a great show. It is. Great show. And a bunch, I was a part of it, a big part of it. And I don't know if I didn't come, but we were filming over there in that part of Texas, which is where, you know, I grew up going over there with Benny Prince, you know, all the edge over there. Yeah. And I'll be back over there. I love that area. I just always loved it. I've been between Dallas and Abilene, Texas. That's right. Yeah. That's right. That's that. That's true. Fort Worth and Abilene. Yep. And, uh, and so Lance was doing these things and that's kind of how I got hooked up with it was, like, got this house property where we were talking about it. We're like, they're building or they just built and it's actually just opened the second biggest state park in Texas. It's called Palo Pinto, awesome place where there's not a lot of places. Unless you're camping there, which I gotta be honest with you, I like going to, I like state parks. I don't like to camp. Not a big camper. My God. When I was young, I liked it. Now I'd rather have a, Right? Yeah. I mean, the more I'm done or, you know, I need a mattress and a mini split at work. I mean, just like, I just don't like to rough it. Yeah. Yeah. And then scorpion and then scorpion country. I don't want to drag a camper around. That's all the same. Well, Robinson has roughed it. They've roughed it a long enough. Well, my buddies who do the camper thing, they're always got a story about how they got stranded in the mountains. They're camper not a flat. And I'm saying, I don't want to deal with that. Yeah. I ain't in the camping. Pass. So we're kind of making these places where you can kind of come stay a place to stay to place and then go to the state park. It's just right there. And it's a cool place to stay. Dude, the hunting and fishing there. Outstanding. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. That around Brownwood. It's their Eastland card. Yeah. You're in the state of Texas. You're pretty, the game is pretty plentiful. Yeah. Lots of turkeys. Oh my gosh. Oh, so there's themed cabins. Um, not cabins. They're like Airbnb's. Yeah. Cabins. Cabins are not even. I don't want to give too much away. They're just really cool. Hey. All right. So I got to know. How are you doing, a duck one? Or is that a little too on the nose? A little too on the nose. I think for now, nothing's off the table. We have, we've got a lot of proto-baggins. Good idea. I'll tell you, all options are in place. I mean, I mean, I've thrown out some kind of castle-like structure, moats. I mean, I'm like, how far is too far? I don't think I don't know the place. I'm saying if you were 10 years old, it was like, I can, I want to go stay somewhere that's like, I've never stayed somewhere in my life. Like where could you go? Oh, I'll tell you how far. You know what I'm saying? Where would you stay? Is it like the acorn in Texas that Ryan Trayhan stayed at? Remember that one? He was in a, it's a whole Airbnb. It's in the shape of an acorn. Nice. There's an Airbnb in Idaho that's the shape of a potato. Something, we got some cool shapes. Yeah. Brittany and her mom stayed in one time that was just like a big giant teepee. I mean, they kept the door like triangle, like you would walk in through the dip. I think that's cool, man. The whole shape was just like a big giant teepee. That's a very nice place to stay. A teepee? A teepee. Yeah. No, no, I'm serious. I'm serious. Okay, here we go. I've been meeting all my com-tons. It's got all the comforts at the home. Just a wigwam. You got a, you got a, you know, bill your fire. Way better than the wigwam at you. You stayed in a place like that? Like back in the 60s? Oh yeah. You lived in a teepee? Yes, sir. For how long? All right. All right. Look, hey, I'm part, I'm one sixteenth Indian son. So hey, teepee wouldn't be a big, big stretch for me. Yeah. I'm interested. I'm into interesting Airbnb. All right, I'll tell you. Yeah, we're excited about it. So we'll see where it goes. So that's, that's very intriguing. Trigging there. The jeep update today was wild. I know it's a lot going on. A lot going on. New TV, it's on Pure Flix or it will be on. It's just a seven film. Great American family Pure Flix. It's only six episodes. This person is on there. What in the blind? All right. Yeah, the blind's on there. Oh, the hey. Go watch that. Yes. Six episodes is just a start. So I forgot to mention this and I'm really embarrassed about it. It's a horp, just a gray. You should watch it for Jess. So after we met this, these people. Is it this interview you did a few months ago that's on Pure Flix right now? No, that was okay. I thought that the other thing I did was I was a guest appearance in a Christmas movie. What? Me and my wife did it. You play an elf? No, I just played myself. Oh, that. But I was you were in a Christmas movie. I was in a Christmas movie. It's it's called Have We Met This Christmas? It's on it's on Great American Family. It's on Pure Flix. Hold on. I don't care how much time. Here's the problem. I'm not nervous at all. Am I one little saying I had my lines? Did you say? Barely okay. There is no room at the end. But during the scene, I'm blink like a thousand times. And I'm like the director never said, Hey, bro, stop. I don't know why you're doing it. Yeah, what's your point? You're blank. Which one is it? It's called Have We Met This Christmas? Have we met this Christmas? Oh, I've got to find this. And Jessica did so good. I did horrible. Like you can barely hear me. And I was like, I don't know. It was it was bad. You just wanted to do best. What was your line? All the crew was so nice and they had done and so many. I mean, the I have found it. And all the Christmas. Um, this one. I've got all my. Yes. Have we met this Christmas? A property buyer gets amnesia after a mild correction. It's a great movie. It's a great movie. And recovers at the very end that she was about to. If you like Christmas movies, you'll like it. Should I wait for Christmas? That just watch it now. He's a Canadian dude, that actor. He's a really cool guy. Are you in the trailer? I now I have no, I'm not in the trailer. I have another questions. A minute. I have another question. Hunter, have you seen it? Because you're the movie buffer on it. They don't have a special edition. Use hopefully because of this podcast for the listeners, viewers, your wives will like it. You may like it. If you're hold on, I mean, don't judge our demographic based on us, sir. Way more women listen to this thing than men. Well, well, then there you go. You guys are, I think that's because we got the eye candy over, you know, and Jessica should be. Watch it. I told her she should just be an actor. I don't know about the women, boys. All right. Look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Tritale's beef, make such a good product. Ain't it good? It's so good. It's our friend, Si Robertson would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritale's getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritale's beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritale's comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of red buys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire. That's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat me. She ain't a big me these are folks. Yeah, just go to tribebeef.com slash. Duck. That's tribebeef.com slash. Duck. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Oh my goodness. What else you been up to? He's got many things. Yeah, I know. He handed at them all before we started. Yes. I'm actually still doing all God's children work. How's that going? Good. I went to Ethiopia, I think, since I've been here last, which was amazing. One of the best trips I've been on in forever. Because it had been a couple of years, and a man to see all the work we've put in and kind of see how big it's grown. We have like three places over there now. It's like we have we've teamed up with Tim Tebow. Oh, go ahead. You got a question? Well, no, no, I was just saying, after I heard of kids at White's Ferry that went to third world countries. And when they come back, their whole attitude of how they lived changed because they went to somewhere where they have nothing. Yes. And then the most amazing thing they all said was, yet every time I run into somebody, I always got a smile on their face. That's right. And I'm saying, wait a minute, they've got nothing, and they're always smiling. And they said, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And they don't look at things the way we look at it. Okay. We got kids that are pissing and moaning, oh, what was me? Yo, and they got everything. Yo, they've got it all. Yeah, privilege. You don't see a lot of privilege. And they're miserable. Privilege over there, yeah. That's the one thing that, yo, that has always hit me when I was talking to them when they come back is that just couldn't believe how positive those kids over there are, and they have nothing. Well, and it's honestly, it's not that they just don't have nothing. It's like a lot of them, the ones we work with, have been through a lot. Oh, yeah. They only, they've been on the streets. They've had abusive things happen to them. You know, they... No, no. They've had some... They've had some traumatic... They've grew up in the wrong side of the world. Yeah. The older state. That's right. Trauma, a lot of trauma. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, we got several places now that were not there when I was there last, which was awesome. And so I'd come into these places, they'd open the gate, and it's like, you know, I'm seeing all these kids, and I've heard their stories so many times. I've seen videos about them, but I actually meeting them, and I'm like crying like crazy. They're looking at me like, what is wrong with this guy? But I'm... It was Tears of Joy. Oh, no. You know, kind of deal. And I'm like, oh, this guy. And I'm like, gee, I should do it. Yeah, it was such an awesome trip. And it's just changed a lot there. I mean, I was like, oh, man. But what we do is, like, we have all these places, like, for girls, for boys, a community center, and we reconnect them with family. Because a lot of times, like, there's a story. Actually, I'm just missing to do a video about it, put it on the social medias. This girl came into the city. A lot of them, they live in rural communities. They come to the cities, you know, because they want to try to help their families, because they're barely making out there. And this girl came. She's working at her sister's restaurant. Everything seemed fine. She's going to go to school, you know, try to get an education. Well, they end up, you know, a lot of these people take advantage of those kids. They, you know, exploit them. This girl was like, they get them at these households and make them work daylight to dark, you know, cleaning and all this stuff. And this girl ran away. And then we work with the cops a lot. And the cops, you know, they'll get these kids and bring them to our homes. And because they're just lost, they run away. And then they get really exploited and end up in a bad cycle. And she got dropped off and, you know, took a couple of months. But we have these dudes there that find their family. That's kind of what we do is reunify these kids. And they will search. I mean, they're going in the mountains like this dude I met. He was like, I'm like, so they had just reunified this girl. And it was like, I was like, how exactly did you do that? He said, well, it took a lot of, you know, I'm calling these people. They're private detectives, what they are. And he ends up knowing what area they're from. He goes there. He's asking all the people. He gets where he can't take his van any further. But he has a dirt bike in the back of it, gets his dirt bike out, goes and finds this family as like an aunt or something. And gets this kid's this family. And of course they're like, yeah, it was like, we'll take her in. And it was awesome. And I got to see kind of that. When I was there, I got to see that. And then something like that just happened recently with this other girl. And I mean, just to hear those stories and meet these kids, because we're kind of meeting them, you know, they'll be at that house for, you know, hopefully under a year till we can kind of reunify them. And they get treatment while they're there for, you know, stuff they've been through and stuff. Abuse. Yeah, a lot of abuse that suffered. And I try to get them through that. But man, it's awesome. I just love it. I love working with kids. It's something I always wanted to do. I didn't know how I was going to be able to do it. But I have found that through all guys' children. So I told them, I was like, look, I'm going to work for you all too. Y'all just have to run me off because I just, I got to do it. I got to do it. You just got to do it. It's just the most rewarding thing. I mean, I love doing TV stuff and, you know, making duck calls for years was fun. But this has been the funnest thing I've ever done and most rewarding. But you said making duck calls was fun, Martinsen. Man, that part. The conversation was fun. Well, when you're doing it, the community was fun. You're eight years old and you're packaging things and doing things. I have fine memories of it, but I was like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this room's way better now. If I wouldn't have done that though to think I could not have been able to do this. You know, I think God just works in so many crazy ways. It's like, it's awesome, man. Well, no, no, that's one of the things. Oh, the paths that get there. God can, you know, people have said it in different ways. If God a door closes in your face, there's a window open. Yeah. Yeah. He always has, you know, and just from my viewpoint, it was a honor and privilege watching what he did with Rock's family. You know, it's funny, Si, as I always tell the story, I talk about you a lot about us doing the make-a-wish stuff. And I was like, you know, I don't think a lot of people know we've done that. I mean, they probably do now because we talked about it a lot. But to me, that was always the most rewarding. And when I would, when you would make those kids and families laugh, because they're kind of going through such hard times, like I look on those memories, I'm like, man, if we only did all that just for that, just to talk to those kids and their families, then it was worth it. Now you're going to get me to cry. Yeah. Well, it's just like before we got started right here, we had young Brody come in. That's right. It reminded me of that. So, that kid here, I was like, man, so that was the email that they sent. They're like, it's, you know, they put make-a-wish kind of like, because they were like, they're already going to be in West Monroe. If there's a chance, can meet any of y'all. And they sent an email and I was like, well, yeah, I mean, we're all going to be there at two o'clock. I said, I don't know who's going to be there. But like, you know, me, Si, Johnny D, for sure, those four, we had even booked you. I said, so like, just come on by. We don't care, man. Come come in here. We don't mind. And so, you know, Brody and his family showed up. He was born with, I think it's called like, Minkies, M-E-N-K-E-S syndrome or something. And so they have three healthy children. They have Brody and they had one that already passed away from the same thing. So some genetic thing with mom and dad, one of those kinds of deals. And so we know Brody's not long for this world, most likely. And he'll be rewarded handsomely in heaven. He'll get to spend the rest of his life with Jesus and all the things. But yeah, man, that stuff is super cool and valuable and like, and not just for them. I'm saying for us too, man. Well, everybody, because people, people, you know, sometimes I've heard people they've been in a bad spot and all that. But what could, you know, one man can't, you know, change it. I was waiting at who, who, back up. I hope they can. One man can change it. Do you know him? Huh? Do you know him? I know a bunch of them. No, I'm saying, do you know the man? Well, yeah. Yeah. Well, that's, that's the point. I do know the man. Well, just while we're on the subject, I do want to mention this because your audience has been so great over the years and unashamed as well. We do, I work a lot with, we're trying to get sponsorships. And so I would say over the past month we've lost some. And I think a lot of that is because times are hard. I mean, it's expensive. Trust me, I know I got grandkids. I'm paying for stuff. Uh-huh. Jesus. You never knew how much. Never knew how much. Money is going out all the time. It's going out. It's going out. Never knew how much they charge for a bunch of diapers, right? Yeah. We, if we could get some sponsorships from you guys, it would be awesome. And people don't know this, but I mean, well, some people know this because they found out. If you sponsor kids and like give money, like I call you personally and thank you. Hold on. You don't call me. Somebody else calls me. Did somebody else call you? They call you. You haven't given enough yet, buddy. You gotta get on up. Blimey. Oh, no, I do want to say something though about sponsorships. I say that. Sometimes I call people who don't, but I do call people and thank them. And they're always shocked and they're like, you're calling me. I'm like, hey, buddy, if you're supporting what I'm supporting, we're buddies. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. They call me like every month on the day that it, but the cool part about sponsoring a kid on all, go to allgotschildren.org. And what I did was they've got a way you can look at any kid that needs sponsorship. I found a kid that was two days different. He was born two days earlier than Ben's. That was the closest I could get. It's got his birthday. I'm like, I got a kid here living the dream of being in a, you know, America. He's going to be the president one day. He don't want to be the president. No, he's going to be vice president. No, he's not. No, he's making a president. He's inventing games. He's going to do the president. He built a whole board game the other night. I still don't understand the rules, but it seemed cool. But I sponsored it. Like he's living the dream. I think I can spare 40 bucks to just help a kid eat. You know what I'm saying? So it's a cool way to do it because they let you search by birthdays, which I thought was like very awesome. Really cool. I'm seven weeks in on the PhD diet plan, hit a little plateau. My weight ain't gone down much because I wasn't doing right. And that's where the coach is so valuable. But my thumb is getting flatter and a platter. You are a fine figure of a man. And you definitely called the right team because if they can help I lose 80 pounds, they got to be on something. This is like no other weight loss plan. I mean, I've tried others too and, you know, trying to do it myself. But with a coach and all the great information they give you, you got, they give you stuff like if you're traveling, you got a menu to look at. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but you get to snack on this one too. You get to snack. That's what I like. PhD weight loss has figured it out. There's one thing that tells your body to burn fat or to store it. And most diets miss it, but not the team at PhD weight loss. They built a plan that actually works with your body, not against it. So if you've tried all the diets, keto, paleo, fasting, and you're feeling stuck, it's because they're all the same and it's time to try something. Different. If you call now, they'll give you two free weeks in the program and pay for your food so that you can finally see real results. So if you're done with yo-yo dieting and want clarity, call PhD weight loss now and mention. Got one. No more guessing. Just answers. Call 864-644-1900 and say. Got one. That's 864-644-1900 or visit myphdweightloss.com. So the coolest part when I was in Ethiopia was we went to this village that was way out and our director there, his name is Dierje, awesome. Awesome. I wish I could get him on a podcast here. He's so cool. And he's like, hey, I want you to meet so and so and so and so. These two kids and I'm like, oh, hey, you know, I'm just like, he's like, it's so and so and so. And it's funny. I still, I'm so, y'all know me. I'm so bad with names, especially if they're all, you know, they're not American names. I don't know. And he's like, and I'm like, huh? And he's like, you sponsored, you've been sponsoring these kids. And I was like, and I started crying and I was like, hey, guys, I'm hugging them because it's been, you know, a couple of years and he's like, I want to be a doctor. And I'm like, no, you can just be, you don't have to be a doctor. You can do whatever, you know, but they're like smart little kids. You don't have to be a doctor. You know what I'm saying? I was like, you can do whatever you want, you know, and I was just happy to kind of meet them. And it was awesome. I got a lot of pictures with them and showed Gus and Gus was freaking out because Gus cares about all that stuff, about what they're doing. He was like, dad, what are they doing? And I'm telling him, you know, what they're up to and all that. So yeah, it was pretty cool. That's awesome. Actually get to meet the kids because, you know, most people are not going to get to meet these kids. They're sponsoring. It's a long trip. Trust me, long trip. But, uh, but I've met a bunch of them and they're awesome and they're doing so much better. And yeah, it's so cool. I love it. There you go. Check it out at allgodschildren.org. I think since I've been here last, I have three grandkids. How many grandkids do you own? Have you had? I have three. Okay. Well, here's the thing. Went on the way. Everybody knows Roberson's a religious, but see when he said go and multiply, we took that to heart. Whole heart. Ain't none of y'all named Abraham either. Or Diego. Diego for the multiply. So you have three grandkids. Do. It's been fun. And you're how? Late 40s. Late 40s. Yeah. He's got already three grandkids in his late 40s. He's on pace. And I have a 10 year old. By the time he's 80, y'all. Hey, that's what you do to do, size, that you're in the neighborhood. Gus, I think our first game this next week is playing baseball down at the Dixie. Are you kidding me? Oh, what position? Hold it. Dead gummet. What position does Gus play? At every point. Shortstop, any pitches? I mean, I, well, that's what I'm saying. Wait, Gus is in the 9 and 10 right up the road? Oh, yeah. And he looks like, so if you watch him practice it, it looks like a junior. You may want to change your team's posture. He's out there helping with the kids. You know, it's like, oh, they got a, they got an older kid out there helping. But no, he's actually, he's 10. He's the leadoff batter. And we've actually had to show his birth certificate now twice because. As I say, they don't always just get it. They're like, let me see his papers. I got a text bend to the notes right now. I watched the boy play. We're in trouble. Tell me, I watched the boy play. So now, hey, birth certificate time. Well, it's, and it's even not that he's, I mean, he's a good player. Don't get me wrong. He's got a lot of power. But he just, the way he looks intimidates, you know, when you're that age and they see a giant kid, they're like, gosh, they get all scared. That was all about that. They really shouldn't be scared. He's the sweetest kid. But I remember not too long ago. My head was the same size. When the fourth, no, no, no. When the fourth grade boys and the third grade boys of OCS squared off and I went and sat in the third grade parents' section next to Jeff and Jessica. Cause you know, the fourth grade section was struggling, even though my kids in the fourth grade, there were parents crying and hollering. I had nobody cried. Oh yeah. It was somebody crying for sure. That ref was terrible. Oh, it was terrible. I agree. He wasn't great. It was, but I mean, let's be honest, they're, they're all not great. They all were. I mean, they're not paid much. And then Gus, I was like, lucky if you get somebody, you know, yeah. I said, so how's Gus doing? He's like, oh, he's, he's, he's okay at baseball. Next pitch hits the fence. He said, he rocked that one. Probably his best hit of the year. It just, you just happened to see it. I'm not kidding. Like not kidding. And then the next day at school, their coach had to have a talk with them. He was like, do not go into the school bragging about how you beat the grade above you. And they did. And I was, when her kids, I was about to sign in our old deals now. Is he, is he there? Like, oh look, all right. That's far done. Hey, you're good. I don't push him to do. You beat somebody. Hey, they want us to play travel like this, which is good. And I refuse to do it. I'm like, I'm not doing it. He filled in one time. Actually not too long, like two weeks ago. Just come, I didn't even go. I was like, I'm not, no. It was in Shreveport and they made it to the championship game. They had to stay the night there. Wasn't planning on doing that and had to play on Sunday morning. And then had to play Sunday afternoon championship game. They got throttled by a team that like their kid had like 30 home runs for the season. He was also their pitcher that threw 75 miles an hour at 10 years old. And he's from Japan. No. Okay. No. He was big. He was about to gust his eyes, but uh, and then we just got throttled and it was like, what do we, and Jess was like, it was the worst, most miserable time of my life. She said it was, it was horrible. And Gus came back and I said, Gus, how was it? This is his answer. And this is why I was like, I will never do it. He said, dad, it's just really not fun. They take it so serious. It's not even fun. And I was like, yeah, if you're playing baseball and you're nine and 10 years old and you're not having fun, should be fun. Why are you doing it? Yeah. Like what's the, I'm a good yard. Yeah, but that's where sports is gone. Right. And I refuse to do it. I'm just like, but do everything. He's like, I'm gonna play tennis. That's why when you see in college, you see some guy that, hey, catches a ball and he's falling back and he catches it with three fingers and scores. What's for y'all? Hey, they're freaks. They're freaks. I think he's talking about who they are. I'm not, they're not, they're not normal. They're freaks. They really are. Well, we refuse to do travel. Hey, we also haven't been invited, but here's the thing. They spend like, I don't know how much time Gus spends at it. But hey, most of the kids that you see that I'm talking about, that when they get to college, they're catching the ball with three fingers. You know, hey, that's their life. They eat, sleep, breathe, they don't know anything else. It's sports or nothing. I agree. But my deal is in the end, I think the cream rises to the top. If you're talented, if you're just really gifted physically, you'll be good because it didn't Tebow not play football till like high school or something. I mean, there's like a story behind that. Like, I don't know. He was not. Probably. He was not. Well, see, I will say this, Gus probably. He's going to have a hard time when he gets at it. And because if he can't enjoy playing the game anymore, I figured you quit. No, he enjoys it. He just didn't enjoy it. No, because we don't do. I know. But I mean, he enjoyed it with his buddies. It's got the point. Kids, they're not supposed to play seven games in two days. We have made some people so mad. And I don't care. That's a hill I'm willing to dial. I get it. And there's good kids that do it. Don't get me wrong. Good thing I love. I just I'm not willing to do that, especially for one sport because I'm like, I feel like baseball is the hardest sport to make it. Like in, yeah, I mean, you might complain college. I'm not saying that's a achievable goal. Well, maybe not a big school, but you can play in college. But I'm like, to make it to the pros stuff, it's like impossible. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's like not easy. No, no, because I had a bunch of cousins. They played little league. And that was their whole life when they was doing it. Best baseball player I know guys duck hunt for a living. I know him. He was he was really good. Better than everybody. I would say I played with him, but I was on the bench and he was in the game. And yeah, old Matt could play some baseball. Laird was good. They none of y'all ever heard of him. And he's better than 90 percent of them. That's what I told my son. They just where Ben's and Gus go to school, they just unveiled a new player on the wall of the outfield of the baseball field that made it to the majors. He's number two in 40 years. So I was like, man, yeah, I ain't gonna be what you do with your life. So I just like, if it's not fun, we're not doing it. If it is fun, let's have fun. Hey, that's like, feel, feel, feel very talented. Yeah. In all the sports, okay, especially his baseball. Yo, and hey, he could have cared less. Mm hmm. All right, that happens. No, that's the deal. I'm not a baseball dad. I'm a good. Oh, what's up? I'm a theater dad. It's time to transform your yard with fast growing trees.

You know, but he's very inconsistent. Oh, well, yeah. And he doesn't. Yeah, but hey, there's focus in that. Yeah, he doesn't have a lot of touch. No, I'm saying it. He's got a big hand. You know, I think he could if he practiced enough. He could. Yeah. Oh, no. If he's not fast-paced enough. Yeah. Because he's naturally talented. He's got good hand eyes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. He's pretty quick for being big. No, he's very fast. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen it. Yeah. I saw that one flag football. That flag football game, Benz went home and goes, that ain't fun. But I mean, where we really shine, where he shines is on that football field. I mean, it was like, man, he got that helmet on and stuff started happening. Yeah. And he's not, if he could learn my, what I want to happen is I want him to play defense, like depending on his size, either on the line or like linebacker and just. Well, no, no. He's too nice for you. You're the day that they lined up across that guy and they thought that I don't. Which is awesome because, you know, had it. Oh, no. What I'm saying had it not been for a family like you guys, where would you have to speak? You know, that's what I'm saying. Like, I mean, that's. I think about that all the time. That's a really cool thing, man. You never know. And I mean, I hope we've, you know, I think we've given him every opportunity to get it. That's the thing about God gives people different talents. Yeah. Okay. And when somebody is good at what God gave them, it's amazing to watch. Wow. Yeah. One talent and passion up with each other. No, no. It's just a pretty cool deal. They don't, they don't even understand what they've got. Yeah. Yeah. And he doesn't at all. No, no, I'm serious. They don't understand it. I just, you know, like Phil, you know, Phil grew up just when somebody threw a ball and he called it and then threw it back. It was just, it was there and everybody that once knew it was there. Yeah. And it just, but it just, you know, that's why people get to tell me sports now. They don't know how far from like the 60s to now the talent has changed. Yeah. Because it's insane. Oh yeah. Well, just the serious. The serious. The really is. So there's, I don't know what, it's like there's more of it that's been given out. Okay. And it's been given out to the level is, is right there. You would figure it's unreachable, but hey, every time you turn around, somebody's doing something that's just insane to what somebody do. Yeah. That's probably watching Tiger Woods at a golf ball again, doesn't it? No, no. Yeah. That's another thing. That's another thing. It's fun watching. It's fun watching the old man get out there and whack him around. Oh no. Somebody hands him a stick and a little ball and the stuff that they can do with this stupid thing is unreal. Well, me and Gus the other night, because we watch them because I'm a, I'm a, I'm a squad's eye fan of the Spurs now because I just love watching women yawning. I'm like, dude, seven and a half feet tall. And he's like, if you mix Kevin Durant and like the dude from the, but Yannis, you just mix them two dudes and have a seven and a half foot tall guy that moves so good. He's an unstop. You can't, any shoot threes. It's like, what are you gonna do with that guy? You can't do nothing. Just get out of the way. I would foul him out. No, no, because that's like, I'm looking at football players that are way, their weight is 350 and they run a 40 yard dash like 4.0. Hmm. Quite that. Well, hey, look, yo, if that guy hit you running wide open. Yeah. Now y'all go ahead. That's gonna be an injury. Yeah. Okay. And if he, if he just falls on your, your laying row, oh, it's broke bones. Broken bones. So that's why I'm saying, yo, and then, you know, because the talent is insane. Somebody that's that big can move that fast. I know, man. I've been big. I've never been fast. It's crazy, man. It's the cost we all got a bearing on. It's insane. Yo, do my stretches. I mean, I got a feeling your boys are going beaches. Hey, do they measure the coming because Gus measures like way high on like all the all we ain't been in a while for what we're at three, they do nothing really unless they get sick. So we'll have four year old checkups this year. So we'll see where they fall. Four year olds and you're like, yeah, they're not crazy. Jackson's head's bigger than most four year old Jackson like me. He got a lot of head to grow into. You were big. Wayland is arguably the most unathletic child I've ever seen though. Yeah, but that don't matter at that age. No, I know. But the way the kid runs and I love it. I ask him to run daily because it cracks me. He just wants to watch. He puts them he puts them shoulders up. He's working out. Yeah, I mean, it's great. Man, I love that age. You just talked about him and Jeff. Oh, it's how my grandson is. And I was just I was taken back for a minute again. Uh huh. No, we had we had a girl in in in junior high. Oh boy. Her name was Francis and we called her a race horse. So hey, none of the boys could even stay with this girl. Okay. We had one called that too. But it was. I was going to say it could be for different reasons. Yeah, way different meanings. Hey, unreal. Okay, I'm serious. The girl could run. I'm sorry about that. You know, and she was fun to watch because they just, you know, it reminds me of the what the other arrow or the lightning guy. The flag. Sooth. Yeah. Flash would be a better nickname. Yeah. I mean, that just that out there. Are you sure? That's what she was. Hey, when she started, hey, she was the flash and she was gone. Yeah. She was out of sight. I'm talking about. She probably would have liked that nickname better than. Yo, just, yo, race horse. Race horse. That's why I said it's yo. Hey, Clydesdale. It's insane. It just it really is better than horse head. Horse head. Horse face. Yeah, horse face. Oh, oh, the rear end. More horses. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Booty. So rude. Y'all, we did not spend enough time on the fact that Jep's in a Christmas movie. No, the here's the deal with that one. Bad performance. Now we have time to watch it before he comes back. And then we get to talk about it. We can talk about Lincoln and Blinken and not. Because one of my favorite John Dynasty episodes ever was the Christmas Nativity with you being all nervous to say there is no room. At the end. I thought I did pretty good with that. Looking back at it, I was like, you nailed it. What was mine on? Mine on that was like give to Caesar what Caesar's. I remember. Well, when Willie said, when Willie said, calm down, son, this ain't been her. That was one of the episodes I probably laughed the hardest out of all of that. It was in the old WFR fellowship center. Uh huh. Yeah, that's funny. What words of wisdom from define power are you going to give us today? I'm going to call back to earlier. When you said, I know it's in there somewhere. Philippians 413. And I thought you'd know where that was, but Philippians 413, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Yeah, there you go. You like that one? Yep. How's it going? That's how it went. All right, boys. Well, Jep, thanks so much for joining us. That was a good time. Thank you. Thank you. We'll see you all next time right here in the Duck Cauldron. Oh, right.
