Good grief. You did there for a week and didn't like it. Well, that wasn't where you couldn't fish. Yeah. In some places you could. That was where I couldn't fish because I couldn't get there. Well, yeah. But if you were in Canada, it would have been negative 17 because there's Celsius. What does that mean? I don't even get it. I kind of get the kilometers thing. Yeah. I'm dialing that in. That's because it's on your speedometer. Well, multiples of 10 would make life a lot easier. But I don't understand sales at all. Yeah, I don't. No, but the folks in Minnesota, man, they're great. Were they Minnesota nice? They were very much Minnesota nice. The fine folks of Frazee, Minnesota, the home of the world's largest turkey. That's their claim to fame. Is it still alive? It's just a big statue. It's a big figurine. That's what they went with. Brother, you were up there. Oh, was I up there? Yeah. Yeah, I was all the way up there. Hold on. Time out. Yeah. Like, you get on a hill, you could have seen Canadian. I'm out. I'm out. You went to Frazee, Minnesota, which I have now looked up on a map. Si, that's up there on the northern part of Minnesota. Yeah. You almost need a passport to get there. Yeah. And I looked at their Wikipedia page. Uh-huh. The population of Frazee, Minnesota is 1,335. Uh-huh. I saw roughly 40% of them. I would say. And they said, we're bringing Justin Martin. Uh-huh. I love small town America. Yeah, man. It was great, man. It was awesome. Those people up there were fired up, man. It was cool. And, you know, I do respect that they pretty much shut down things about 8 o'clock. You have to. It's that cold. It is that cold. But they were so, when I was there, the, Sal, you'll like this. There was a big festival in the town that I stayed at the hotel at in Detroit Lakes right there. there's kind of a confusing name because we's a long way from michigan i was about to say it um but they were having the polar fest oh no were you going to water they had a chunk of that lake chainsawed out yeah and for donations to non-profits people were jumping in that sucker and i said what do you win and they were like well nothing i said so like the prize is survival like you just yeah you get to live like you just you raise money oh that's the largest turkey yeah the world's largest yeah there he is yeah i saw him i'd just give him money i wouldn't jump in no cold water the guy said you want to get out and take a picture with him i said nope i've seen him that's good enough for me i just just keep do not open this door is that right there by a lake yeah there's a little there's a little deal right there's a bunch of lakes in there yeah i've just learned something that's the that's the place up there where there's 10 000 lakes yeah there's a bunch of them i just realized something i've never known before what's that as a google map aficionado all the lakes are frozen on the satellite yeah that's crazy yeah i never thought about that yeah that's wild man it's uh yeah wow it's really cool though i mean everybody up there tried to take me ice fishing i said no man i'm good i said no after i said i'm I'm going to go back to that hotel room. And, well, everybody knows what I do. Turn the hate on. You know what Detroit Lays got? Dominoes. Dominoes. You know what I did? Watched the Olympics and ate dominoes. There you go. But it's cool being that far north for that USA hockey game because that was like a holiday for those guys. Like, they were watching it in church. Like, I spoke at the church building the next morning. And it was sanctioned. Like, they had it playing in the foyer of the church. everybody yeah everybody could keep up with it and they all understood what was going on me i was just like usa i don't really understand hockey i get real fired up to talk trash to canada once every couple years yeah but it was cool like because i've been kind of i guess i've probably watched more winter olympics this year than i ever have and that's where all them folks is from it's minnesota so like they know everything about all them sports me i'm just i mean i can't tell how many hours i watch curling how did that catch on what curling yeah i don't know but it looks fun but i have no idea how they slide out there you should have done that i guarantee that they slide it out there and they can make that thing curl around yeah and come in there so just one rock camp well uh yeah there's different there's different stages on ice well i didn't know So you can score multiple points. But you've got to have the most close. Yeah. You've got to have the most close. Yeah. Well, that don't make sense. Hey, pretend my phone's a gun, Martin. It's right there.

He loves his Canadian country, and I guess he thought they were going to win, so he woke up and slapped that Canada sweatshirt on yesterday. Oh.

They said everything's good. But they went pretty deep because there's four inside there. Okay. They're going to melt. So they say. But I got to go back and get these out. They're melting your innards? Well, I don't know how deep he went. But he said he went to the fat layer. I said, well, that ain't going to be hard to find on me. It's getting harder to find. Evidently, it's pretty deep. i just told him stay away from my throat wait they're away from my jugular yeah they're melting the stitches oh they dissolve in there yeah well what are they built out of i don't know something that your body can break down you think there's something there's all soft huh you think they dissolved already oh they like a memento a memento mento mento mento whatever them things a sucker yeah they probably wouldn't they probably wouldn't make a coke explode but um well i mean just how long how many days does it take them to dissolve oh i don't know about that because you can't see them i would imagine i would think that they're gone before they cut you other one but i'll tell you what when you're shaving you got to be careful because i don't You got to do that anyway. I done clipped all the, there's one right there. Well, did you know? Because I learned this watching a Western movie. Bag in, Adam. You've got 16 blood vessels and arteries in your neck. Oh, yeah? Yeah. This guy supposedly cuts this guy's throat. He said, you didn't cut it deep enough. Because it had to shoot him. I'm glad it didn't shoot him. I told you, you got 16 vessels, bud vessels, and arteries in your neck, so you got to cut through all of them when you cut to my stroke. Well, he missed mine, thank goodness. Learn something new every day, kids. Thanks for listening to the duck call room. He told me, he said, if you feel something, let me know. I said, oh, I will. Yeah, don't worry. If it hurts. However how deep he went, he gave me about three shots. That stung a little bit, but I'm glad he did, Because I didn't feel nothing. You've made the decision. You want to get in better shape. You want to get fit and all this stuff. But a lot of you don't want to go to no gym because you don't know where to start. And you don't want to go there looking like a, like an idiot or just, you know, and then a lot of people, you know, just aren't morning people. So you try to get up early. You want to go to a gym, but you don't want to talk. But that's where tonal comes in.

That nurse kept dabbing it. Christine had that done. She had cancer in her ear. So they had to cut, I think, two layers. Of her ear? Her ear bleeds a lot. You ain't got much in her ear. You know what I'm saying? No. It's just cartilage. But she come back with a big bandage on it. And she said, it's driving me nuts. because I said, she said, I want to scratch it so bad because it's itching. Oh, I know. I said, well, leave it long because it's been in the ceiling. I can feel the little tag ends that you bite off when you tie your bait on. Uh-huh. But he didn't bite them off. What kind of knotty tie? But one of them I cut off with that right because I'll try to get up because it'd look weird. Stop. Just let your hair grow until it's done, man. That'd look bad. I think we all look okay. Yeah, but you got a full beard. I just got a piece of one. I think you should grow a full beard. I did it. I used to have one. Bring it back. Bring it back. Yeah, but now you look better than just the goatee. Yeah, I'd look funny. I wiped it off one time. Paula wouldn't even look at me in the eyes. That thing's getting long. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Time to cut it. Oh, goatee looks good on you. It fits. It fits his personality. Cut it off every once in a while. We don't want to do a full rebrand here. at this age but i think i'd like i know i'd like to see you in a full beard remember that time so i cut his basically down to a goatee about a year ago or so didn't like it that was crazy looking it's not i didn't like it i don't goatee don't look good on me yeah i wasn't supposed to see that much of your face ever it was uncomfortable yeah it was it was kind of weird but well that's good i'm glad they got it all out of there but sunscreen fishing season coming y'all wear it do you see that one piece of advice for the future because i was one of them i ain't never getting that man sunscreen it's important that or we've been fooled by big sunscreen oh you know i got a laugh from why did you laugh at that hunter the guy who wears hoodies in july laughs at that so hunter believes big sunscreen's out for us oh i'm just saying sunscreen's a relatively new product well when you're out in the sun all the time well that's one thing why Cancer is very rampant because people don't put sunscreen on their ears and on their faces. I know. But was it rampant at 1850? No, no. I'm just saying, hey. Oh, yeah. I just told Christine that. Hey. I put mud on her ears. People have hair, have cancer on their ears and face. That's because we're inside too much. Yeah. And then the sun hurts us. But if we were just part of the sun. That's what tears me up, my ears. I bought one of your honey hole hats, you know, them baggings. But about two trips down the lake, full throttle. That's it. That's gone. Man, I hate to hear that. Let's go. He got another. I get you. We actually don't have any of those. That's why you got to have a strap on it. You got to bring it in for warranty work. I had it. And it still blew off? Oh, yeah. It's like a sombrero. Yeah, it's a straw hat. Like a parachute when you run it. Oh, I know. I've got one. But mine's got a strap on it, and it don't blow off. Yeah, but you got a neck to hold it on to. Me and Godwin ain't got no neck. I put it under the goatee. It flips back, and then it's a parachute. Well, mine has one. You're like riding horses. It folds it back. I need somewhere. Look at that five head. Yeah. That's the way mine did. I need somewhere. Took off on the boat. All it did was just flatten out against, you know. I guess I could throw it on the floor. I do like a good thing. but it sure is nice it's like 10 degrees cooler under that thing big things are worth oh yeah yeah they still make the layers i don't like i don't like sunscreen which is why i just quit i know i don't like that i mean i try to put it on my face when i remember but the rest time i just wear sleeves and pants now they got everything performance i just no no that's why most bass This one has got the gloves and the little face mask. Yeah, I don't want to wear the gloves either. I tried to face mask, and mouth breathing through that thing, it gets so hot. It reminds me of being in a grocery store five years ago. It looks like when I pull that thing off. It looks like. I hate them things. Oh, man. Are we allowed to go down that rabbit hole? What? That we had to wear those in a grocery store. Oh, the buffs? Yeah. Yeah. And that protected us, even though my beard poked through it. because surely bacteria couldn't get through it no something you can't see can't get through that but your hair can know which by the way i visited my first buffet since then this past weekend at the pizza ranch in detroit lakes minnesota how was it was a good pizza i didn eat the pizza surprisingly he went to the pizza place and he ordered sushi no i had fried chicken hold on he went to a pizza place and ordered fried chicken they have one end they had two buffets one of them was pizza the other one was fried chicken mashed potatoes french fries and all that kind of stuff and i ate me three whole It's going to cause you inflammation. The European mind cannot comprehend what you're saying right now. Well, I'm sorry. Let me tell you what your knees are going to feel like. What? Well, you know what they feel like. Mine's feeling way better. Because you don't eat fried chicken? I don't eat a lot of vegetables either. Oh, really? There's some vegetables that causes inflammation. Which ones? Green beans? Ugh. Carrots? Yuck. You ain't got to worry about that. You're going to have to. Vegetables are supposed to be white, and you're supposed to be able to mash them, fry them, stick them in a spoon. And dip them in range. Amen. Or cover them with gravy. Or cheese and bacon. But you can make, if you bake fish in it. What about Brussels sprouts? No, you can have them. Cabbage. Oh, they got a recipe on there. Cabbage and Italian sausage. Okay. And let me tell you, it is good. I might make that again. It's quick, too. That sounds like something that gives you the toots. Oh, yeah, it's a colon cleanser. Can I say something? For all the great things Italy's done for the world, their sausage. Mid. Oh, this is pretty good. It's definitely at home for me.

Yeah, just pork breakfast sausage. So good. Yeah. Yeah. So good. Big. Oh, there's something else. i can have eggs and bacon sausage on it there's a lot of things you can have you ain't got to change that much really what's the one thing you cut out i'm just curious that i cut out like the one that you're like man i wish i could have that because i'm i we can't say pecan pie because we know you cut that out with the first diagram yeah i was gonna say something else yeah something new it's something it'd be fried fish fried fish yeah can't have fried fish no at all well they can you can but there's a i forget what it's called they got the name of you can get it at walmart too it's some kind of bread and stuff that you fry it with like almond flour can you fry it in that no it's uh i can't remember what it is but anyway i mean it's not a whole lot that you don't have to eat yeah it's just cheese don't eat cheese which i like cheeseburgers and a ham and cheese sandwich oh yeah those cheese lights that'd be tough and i make um i make a three egg omelet in the morning and put some bacon in there and i'm thinking oh if i could put some of that kobe jack just a little light layer nobody ain't nobody watching Hold on, but this is the most important question I may have asked you ever. It's just bacon, right? Bacon? Yeah. Yeah, bacon. Ain't no turkey bacon. No, they prefer you to eat that, but you ain't got to have it. My wife's on this kick, too, and every time I turn around, I see turkey bacon in my house, and I'm struggling with that. Oh, you're not supposed to eat fried fish? Fried anything. Oh. What do you, how do you cook your fish? Bake it. Sounds like, how do you eat? bake it or grill it but i still build my salve and dip it in there can you cook it like in a skillet though like yeah like with olive oil i use coconut oil coconut oil it's like lard yeah yeah i was just curious when you come in a jump rope jump rope when is that what is that yeah well i know what a jump rope is i do i jump rope like three times a week we can do it together I bet you my knees let me do it now. There you go. That actually is a test. If you could jump rope, then you're like, boom. Well, I noticed when I jump out of my truck now, my knees don't hurt like they used to when I hit the ground. Too many carrots. I'm like, yeah. Too many carrots. I'm thinking, this work. His eyes had laser vision, but it's me. That's why weight is dangerous. Why weight? Well, she said, they told me that there are certain things you eat causes inflammation in your joints. If you cut that. I didn't know that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I quit eating it, and I can tell the difference. Yeah. Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff. Did you say one of those was green beans? How many green beans? You can limited. You can have limited greens.

me and paula we'd have us an ice cream bar you know that zero that for whatever that i forget what brand it is yeah i know what you're talking about though yeah what oh yeah you're big into moo bars but i can't do that hey moo bars are those are out who might you mean out no you gotta hey speaking of i decided i set a new goal all right in life by the time i'm 37 which is in oh is that this year three yeah okay that's weird you're just now gonna be 37 just now i'm gonna run a 5k shout out canada in under 30 minutes i think y'all are on the same time as us though five miles no five k is what 3.1 miles so i got what 3.1 3.1 miles and under 30 are you doing couch to 5k no i got this fancy under 30 our garmin friends are helping me yeah and i did it and it said i was like okay yeah i'm gonna do this plan and the first thing it did was say run 6.2 miles and i was like that's dumb i thought that's twice as far as i want to go yeah well then it'll be easy that's not supposed to take you but 12 minute to do what run three miles who are you talking a four minute mile ain't that how long it's supposed to take to run a mile if you're an olympian yeah four minute miles moving man most i think most people four minute four minute mile average humans about nine probably now five minutes five minutes five minutes booking well you gotta think look if you run a 10 minute mile 10 minute mile you're running six miles per hour for that's 10 minutes that's pretty that's that's moving that's moving yeah and you got to do it for 30 minutes that's my goal yeah well then it said i needed to run for an hour and 20 minutes and then my watch would tell me oh you're going too slow speed up but then it would say you're going too fast it was very heavy on too fast at the beginning very heavy on too slow at the end but i'm trying to teach you can do it probably in oh so it's trying to teach you the pace yeah reasonable would be an eight minute mile i wonder how fast i'm doing that speed walking oh i'm telling you could do an eight minute mile and not really pressure yourself i've ran an eight minute mile before but then i you know i had to go lay on the floor and well no make sure i was good with the lord if you ain't used to it but i mean that's the reasonable thing because that'd be that'd be 24 minutes for your 3.1 mile my my goal is not my goal is 29 minutes and 59 seconds there you go i get carried away i think you can do it look so now i'm running down arkansas road yeah on the on the shoulder oh is this when you was dressed in a usa garb oh yeah i wear that all the time anyway and then here comes a little orange hot wheel coming straight at me and i'm like is that hunter and so i'm kind of miserable at this point and so i see hunter and i wave yeah he just kept going didn't even acknowledge it really he's he waved back well he's helping you i'm i wait if he would have pointed at him yeah then and then i was like which is what you want him to do no i didn't want him to stop and pick me up but then i turned around and i'm headed home hunter done probably been a lot of places gone the grocery store many things and i was like oh man there's hunter again so i acted like i was okay because i knew him and so i waved but what i was really hoping you would do is like bring me some water or something because i was in a bind i need a drink no he's got he done you're gonna do a 10 minute mile you got the three times in a row yeah you're gonna do a 10 minute mile 10 minutes you'll beat that i don't know i'll tell you right now you'll beat that i tried the other day and i finished in 33 minutes where'd this newfound epiphany come from i don't know just something to do something to do i have to set goals could you do it or i don't jump and rope i can do a jumping road are you gonna end up being one of them that runs a marathon for this is also you're gonna get them fancy little stickers we're gonna be going to boston for it all when i tell you at an hour and 20 minutes your boy was i didn't want to do anything else ever again so i ain't doing that i like i like going hard for a short amount of time but i have to set a goal or i'm never going to do it and then there's a lot of people in our little garmin group i found out now i've got there's like over a hundred more have added yeah that's cool and they're all way better at running than me yeah yeah we don't i've been really disappointed in my step count since uh duck season ended because it ended then i end up with a flu and my whole deal reset because it was got up to where it's like you need to get 14 000 steps today because i had it on the climbing deal or whatever and then i got the flu and one day i got like 600 and it's like all right let's bring this back down to reality because it's like bro yesterday you didn't move you need to get how many steps i did yesterday anyway so that's what i'm up to and hunter hunter will wave to you if you run on the side of the road hunter where were you going out that way yeah just for curiosity sake uh my sister lives near near you actually oh okay uh so i was going to let her dogs out because she was camping for the weekend i didn't recognize you at first when i passed you i thought you were a stranger pointing at me that happened often to you no not really but i mean actually what does happen often is strangers just start talking to me for no seemingly no reason it's called being friendly hunter i don't like it when people do that either no okay well but i why did you not recognize me because you were wearing sunglasses sleeveless shirt shorts and a bandana yeah that checks out that's pretty much my go-to uniform yeah as loud as it can be but uh after like i got to my sister's house i was like i think that was john david and then i passed you on the way back and i was like oh yeah yeah that's definitely him i didn't even know it was me that's why he didn't bring me water okay you're forgiven if you ever see me again stop and bring water yeah please like keep a bottle from now i'll keep a bottle of water in your i almost went in the gas station was like i will come back and pay yeah for this water i'm about to steal i will be back i promise but it won't be quickly but i'll be back it'll take me a minute to get home yeah but i gotta i ran here so i gotta run there so it's a weird little health journey we're all on yeah yeah you joining inside no i can't wait to be that age but i had enough of that crap in the military yeah yeah he ran everywhere he went for 24 what was your mile time back in the military i bet you were i actually no no what is a 444 times yeah and i ran what i think like 18 and i was stopping walk oh he was just trying to slide four times yeah he was just trying to pass the ptt all i know is past ptt i mean i ain't big on let's say let's knock it out of the park and do 100 push-ups and all this other crap yeah hey knock yourself out well i'm gonna have to get back on that because i'm going back to wyoming this year so in order to not die when i get to 7 000 oh no no because you got you got a good thing that you do when you duck hunting What Walk everywhere Yeah walk and go pick up Wading mood Because hey That takes them Actually, that's one of the reasons I don't even take my dog anymore, because it keeps me more active. No, no. Otherwise, like. Well, that's like Stone. Stone does it. You know, he gets his cardio. Yeah. Every day. I'm not going to want that. Cardio. Now, when the ones that go out there, for whatever reason, 200 yards and die, I really wish I'd bring my dog. yeah but as long as they're in the decoys are just outside of them it ain't no big deal to me i enjoy the movement i enjoy the the getting up and stretching and and all that and the hunters you ran a two mile in 18 minutes yeah and yeah that was just you like hey that's all no no because that like i said i walked i walked for it like four times and probably slid that on each 440 i would walk oh what i used to do that it was fast oh yeah well look at him he didn't want 135 i tell you if you have got a a decent jar that's comfortable i don't well you will nothing about it comfortable if you get into it you will and i'll tell you i you'll go on you'll go you'll do an eight minute bow and that running on asphalt hurts man hurts me anyways i i weigh easier running grass and that kind of stuff i heard you know my ankles are too bad though if i get off kilter i'm going down i'm gonna go i didn't think i could run like i run a six minute mile you ran a six minute mile but hey look we run every day for crying out loud that's awesome but he ran a six minute mile while smoking saggerts that's what i'm saying that's when i smoke two packs today that's why that's why hey when i run the rile for pt's in hey i'll walk four i had to do four laps around 440 and i'd walk yeah on each one of them them lungs got good work hey look it just pissed everybody off that was on the straights and i said hey look i'm not um i'm not for the olympics here yeah i do this because y'all make it a dadgum yearly thing we had botched some new york strips the other night cut them up all small about medium rare sorry so i'm not medium plus and boy i i i went overboard because it was just each to his own jd amen to that hey and if you buy steaks from trytails beef you cook it out of your way trytails beef is prime and upper choice beef from american cowboys and ranchers and you will taste the difference the first time you cook it their steaks are aged to perfection and rival any steak you would get at a steakhouse and you know that just by looking at it like when you see it you're like yeah this is the deal right here look we love that tri-tails is a family business it's a fifth generation family ranch and that same family is still responsible for every box of meat they ship to your family they're still out there raising cattle chasing calves and packing your order by hand the beef is rich and tender and the marbling is absolutely off the charts and we love that military veterans and first responders get a discount tri-tails beef is the real deal and you're putting something on the table that reflects care continuity and something worth passing down because that is what try tails beef is all about go to try beef.com slash duck to learn more or order your first try tails box straight from their ranch to your door that's try beef.com slash duck and you'll even get 10 off your first order and they're throwing in some free meat for you go check it out that's try beef.com slash duck britney and i did it before the boys where we did that couch to 5k that app where it's like yeah you were running yeah you never told me well yeah i don't i don't advertise everything i do come on man no i didn't want somebody i didn't want somebody to come driving by and see me that's where all the houses got in our neighborhood too so it was like just fresh constructions you got a good neighborhood to run in yeah it ain't terrible it ain't bad it's got just enough hills where you We need to find the cemetery. We can't walk over there no more because the trees, until they get the insurance done. They got that old golf course now is a good walking park. No, you're talking about that. When in Fort Bragg we run every day, we ran, and we hit the last part of it, about the last mile. We run four miles. Yeah. The last mile was uphill. Yeah. And I said, you boys need to reverse this. Amen. Well, it's always crazy for me. That's a place where we had the last mile should be downhill. Running uphill never hurt me as bad as going downhill. Oh, no. Using them brake pads, like trying to control them brake pads going down. Man, my knees are like offensive lineman days. You're like, no, bro. No, bro. I could get just relaxed and not even know I was lifting my legs up downhill. I was way better at staying up. No, no. The climbing. Going down always hurt. This podcast is hilarious. I know. We went from a bunch of weirdos, and now we're a bunch of old men discussing our diets and our workout routines. It's all just, and none of it's impressive. None of it is sanctioned either. And none of it's impressive. It's just trying to be dads or grandpas. Trying to not die. Like, just trying to stay as average as we can. This is why that PhD is good. Well, when they get 10 years old, I want to be able to run around and play with. out of whatever you're eating they figured out it will help you goblin here's what i'm gonna tell you buddy you're not gonna wait till they're 10 they're gonna hit about two and a half and you're gonna be running everywhere after them anyway yeah i mean and it's a very long memory i got fun when she turned that's one thing your grandkids and i didn't have to worry about is energy oh yeah they're gonna have plenty of it spark plug i tell you they just like a spark plug yeah they like to energize the butter they ain't gonna run out of it i got to babysitter wednesday uh cassie wednesday because easy they got their first appointment up there to get that medicine right and they have to stay up there about six hours and then they got to go back thursday two days in a row but what i wanted to say a while ago about okay that's like all these workouts that you can get it fine at the gym uh-huh like the military the military's running program suck okay because hey i've done it for 24 and a half years and i never it never made me get in shape you know because you're walking for half no no no because something is wrong with that system yeah it's called winston if you do it for a year run four miles every day for a year and and then hey running a mile shouldn't even bother you if you run four miles that would be great it's when you chase it with 40 sagrets that the issue may have arisen well no no because i figured i figured yeah okay you know a pack of centrist has a lot to do with that yeah well about two of them but hey but i'm just saying you know if you do if you exercise every day for for three months yeah well hey when you do the little exercise routine it should get where it wasn't it ain't even nothing for you to do are we gonna get any comments off this podcast a few yeah there's gonna be a lot of them yeah there's gonna be the ones on their health journey that have gone so far down the rabbit hole that they're going to tell us everything they've done wrong and why you should happily eat green beans and carrots regardless what the other people say there's going to be other ones that are slamming a little debbie saying well i don't know why y'all doing that yeah and then there's going to be a bunch of like us like yeah man just try just hey just try better decisions real better way better that's the key cut out green beans cut out carrots and look how good the boys knees are i'm with you i ain't ever gonna eat another one of them well Well, no, because, I mean, if you eat something and it gives you inflammation. That's a shame. You ever notice, though, the stuff that gives you inflammation is good? Like, onions are good. No, no, no. Like, onions are superb, especially when you cook them. Well, no, especially when you cook them. Oh, damn. Yeah. I eat a raw onion. I don't mind a raw one, but whenever they go through that little change in the skillet from raw to not all the way cooked, that little salt, man, they're so good. Yeah, but before they get in the skillet, I'm eating one of them. I was just going to say, I like all of my vegetables a little bit crunchy. Yeah, I just want them softened, but not soft. Not soft. Just soften them. I like it to have a little crunch to it. Yeah, like bell peppers. One of my favorite things in the world is the bell peppers and onions in a fajita skillet. I love them. No, no. Don't cook them where they're soft. Yeah, they're so good. Cook them where they're just about half done. A Mexican restaurant, I'll order fajitas, shrimp and chicken fajitas. I don't eat the rest of the stuff. I just eat what's in the. Yeah, in the skillet. When I go in a Mexican restaurant, I make what they chop up, the bell pepper and pepper and all that, the hot stuff. I'll eat a bowl of that. Yeah. Just that. That's all I want. You don't want the steak, huh? No, he just wants the vegetables. No, no. I'll eat that and the meat. I double the best. Doritos, Doritos, whatever. Oh, here we go. That's why you look at the dressing. We're going down Thanksgiving route. No, no, I'm serious. Double the vegetables. I always told Phil and Kay, y'all don't put enough onions or bell peppers or whatever else you put in there. Not enough zing to zing. anyway well hey i like being just a regular old dude trying to figure out how to jump rope you do that how many times how many times can i jump rope oh a bunch no i mean when do you do it i was going to this morning but i was kind of tired so i laid back down and might have fallen asleep for a minute i might jump rope this evening how was your timing when you first started terrible you just got to practice yeah when i first started i would go for three minutes and i would hope to hit 150 i'm gonna get me a jump bro get you one i bet he got one you can borrow i got multiple it kind of became my identity for a minute he got one that weighs like seven pounds uh five and you don't want that one that one's dumb shouldn't have that two pounds is the most you want i'll jump rope your shoulders burn baby imagine a five pound rope i'd be impressed if i could just get that sucker i grabbed two weights well i had five pound and eight pounds and i would sit in my recliner and and work out with them all right you would not believe because i was done it one day and i yeah i was ringing wet and i said what in the world's going on that ain't that hard y'all christine says well you're doing like 30 repetitions of every little thing you're doing he said you walked out for two hours for crying out loud don't so know what are you wet idiot yeah you big dummy go get in the shower oh man and then i got the little pedal thing you know you be remember that guy yeah what i was thinking about when you used to pedal underneath the desk yeah hey i had a really good routines in my recliner that i've done for two hours and i'm serious i felt way better i need to go back on it let's go we're all just being a healthier slightly healthier no no because you can do better decisions that will help you Yeah. Make better decisions. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Well, here's the deal. None of us are world champion athletes, correct? No. No. None of us are even probably going to be the best on an old man softball team or anything like that. No. We're just regular guys trying to be as healthy as we can for our kids and our grandkids so we can live around a long time. But 1 Corinthians 9.24 is a much more important thing than running. But it talks about running or getting in shape or whatever. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the game goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last. But we do it to get a crown that will last forever. forever so there you go the most important thing people get with jesus christ yeah just stay in everything else will get taken care of stay in the race what's the other one for physical training is of some value but spiritual is forever first timothy 4 8 thanks christian yeah i knew that one oh that's that one okay that okay i knew that was one of them i just didn't know what it was hey Let's go. Let's all go jog. I'm just kidding. I'm not jogging. I ain't running down the road. The only place I'm about to jog to is the restrooms. I got teeth. We'll see y'all next time. Right here. If you see me running, you can shoot. Shoot. What's the stationery? Thank you.
