Went on a run today , so Did you Yep , once again , no big deal .
How much how ?
far , far mile . He ran downstairs . Pretty good it was . Um , actually it wasn't as bad as I thought . Pretty happy about I do this once a year , yeah same .
And then I stopped yeah a mile mine's , usually in the summer , though I don't know .
I was running more than a mile when we were running together and I stopped .
Yeah , we should do that again .
I'll tell you one thing I've gotten really into traditional archery Since I've been on here last .
I'm just waiting on my arrows to get fletched .
Very excited , painted yourself a recurve .
Yeah , that thing looks sick .
Yeah , that does look sick Almost . As sick as that hat you got on .
That hat's pretty sick too , yeah .
So it's nice having Brady back . He'll be regular again .
Yeah , wink , wink .
I figure I pop in once every six months .
There you go .
But the good thing , with me retiring from full-time ship , you guys can keep that revenue . Split it two ways . The negative revenue Make pretty good money . Good for you guys .
I'm about to retire , just going down to the river , honestly , I got no money Okay . No , I'm joking , I'm just joking guys . Okay , I wasn't serious . We got you All right , give me a sip of that tea , bro . No , I mean , I don't know what you want to say . Yeah , well . I don't know what kind of content you thought that was going to be .
I've just been staring at it . I can just smell it Just riffing . Yeah , I'm just riffing .
Just riffing mainly , yeah .
So what have you been up to ? You been running , you been hunting .
Do you want me to talk about what I've actually been up to ? Yeah ?
what you've actually been doing , are you ?
hinting at real life stuff , or do you want me to just talk about pretty fun activities ?
Wherever you want to go with it . I'm leaving it up to you . You're our guest .
I've just been hunting .
Hunting okay , you getting anything Dude neither one of us you know the answer . I guess you've seen deer huh , yeah , carter's the only one with a deer . Two of them , two of them .
A few . I'm not happy about it , just a good three days . Out of my tree stands .
Nonetheless , yeah , both of them .
Both of them . But when you got no responsibilities in your life , it's easy to .
It's true .
Not for much longer . Not for much longer not for much longer .
There you go , okay , let's do that .
Good , no , okay okay but no , the main thing I've been doing is getting ready for Mason's transplant . He he had nine appointments last week .
Yo which was quite the experience .
yeah , All in St .
Louis . All in St Louis . Yeah , split over two days , so that was made for a long day because you got two hour drive , Then you do like six hours there and then two hour back . It's a full work day . Um and he had blood work , which is a . That's a nightmare to watch your five month old just get stabbed with a needle .
Yeah , Um , but yeah , I mean it's going to be the assuming we get the donor the first of that surgery ever done in St Louis , so we're not real nervous or anything . Pretty good , assuming we get the donor the first of that surgery ever done in st louis , so we're not real nervous or anything pretty good no yeah , we're all pretty sane .
Yeah , I mean , I think most people that are aware of the situation would understand , I guess , the feeling somewhat , um , it's not one that you can recreate in your head .
Yeah .
And try to put yourself in .
Yeah , it's a weird one and even I don't know if you have kids . You can somewhat imagine it . It's just , even we knew before he was born he was going to have some . He had a heart issue .
But then you start getting into the deep parts of it and you start looking at the long term , like they were talking about all the things we got to be careful of when he's on his medicines for that transplant and you're like , whew , it's a lot deeper and it's a lot longer process than we thought . So yeah it's all good .
We're blessed to be so close to St Louis and they've got incredible doctors . All the prayers have meant a lot to us too , so , yeah , been a lot of fun , good year .
Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . Anything else ? You want to catch up on ? When was the last time you were on ?
You guys have probably done what three or four yeah , probably four Did I do . He was born July 12th . I feel like what I did , maybe one or two after he was born July 12th . I feel like what I did , maybe one or two after he was born , Maybe .
Yeah , probably one .
So maybe August , then may have been maybe early September Only three months

Yeah .
You put out your ground buying , yet yeah , first I sat in it Sunday morning I knew I wasn't going to see anything . First I sat in it Sunday morning I knew I wasn't going to see anything . The first time I sat in it and it was all wet and you couldn't see through it very well . It was one of those you can see through 270 degrees .
You can see out , but it's like camoed in and it was , but it was wet so you couldn't see through it very well . So I had to have the window open the whole time .
It doesn't say you can see through it , but you can't . I mean you have to open the window to shoot through it .
I guess , you could shoot a hole through it . You could just shoot right through it . But yeah , I'm excited to try to get more time to sit in it over break hopefully . So this is our last week before break for school and then hopefully see the fam for a little bit over break . Yeah , nothing else really new for me , I guess Got a haircut .
Yeah , boy .
Seven years almost turned in the corner on eight years before I walked into a thing haircut place .
And when he says haircut .
Don't even Do you get to wear a hat at work .
No , Dude , dude , I'm going to fight both of you . We'll do it live on the podcast .
I don't care , that's so funny , let's go , come on . He's funny about that Because like you don't even have . That's so funny , let's go , come on . He's funny about that Because like you don't even have to say the joke .
Yeah , I didn't say anything rude , it's just a question . You took it to be rude .
Right you guys . No , no , no , it looks good . First night I saw you guys , so that means you're lying . Either you're lying now or you were lying then .
So which one was it Go ahead ? So I asked if you could wear a hat at work .
No , you guys were giving me crap before we started , just because they didn't hear it doesn't mean , you didn't get , said I don't know what he's talking about . These two are going to get freaking knocked out it looks good .
It does look good .
What's that ?
You can't take my joke .
You can't take my joke . What's ?
that you just recently watched .
You're trying not to laugh .
Lord of the Rings . You watched it . Oh yeah , who's that guy that ? What's his name ? That's like he's trying to get the ring and shut up my precious no oh you gallop .
How does that even relate ? How ?
dude , you don't look , you're just trying to be funny .
I'm just being mean . No , your wife said something freaking funny the first day I sent the , so I , when I left the place I was mad they cut my hair . The lady literally took four cuts across the back of my hair , so it's like still about to my shoulders , and the lady took four cuts and it was like a real man and I was like dude . I hated it .
When I walked out it looked so dumb I I still don't love it . It's all right , um , and that was one of the funniest phone calls I've ever been oh I was just saying a handful of cuss words for sure um , but I yeah , I was a good . What 15 , 20 minute just rant of me ?
ah , she didn't even cut it right . I don't think she cared . It looks better than your super long hair . I'll give you that yeah , okay .
So I sent them a text and they were like carter said something I hadn't told brady and zoe yet .
Well , yeah , because I just happened to call you , I didn't know you got a haircut yeah , I was walking out , you were just mad , I was like what the heck is going on yeah , um .
So then carter said something in our group text and then I guess zoe was texting off brady's phone . I didn't know and I said that I I told carter I looked like lord farquaad , which is so good from shrek , because my hair was just straight at that point and like right around it looked so dumb . And then , zoe , I sent that and then sent a picture .
Did I send a picture of it ?
no , no , oh , because we were begging yeah , we were begging for a picture , but I sent a picture , did I ?
send a picture of it . No , no , oh , because we were begging . Yeah , we were begging for a picture .
But I sent the picture of Lord Farquaad , yeah , and then Zoe sends back the picture of the guy that does the berries and cream . Yes , yeah , that was funny , but I was mad , yeah .
So I think you guys get the picture . But no , it looks good , dude , it looks better now .
Yeah , Keith's a little lad who loves berries and cream .
Yeah yeah , little Frodo Baggins over there , frodo , I'll take Frodo . Okay , then never mind , never mind you can't have it .
No , it yeah , it looks , it looks good , it looks good it looks good , get out of here . It's very funny to be 25 years old , walking out of a hair appointment , just mad at her and doing it in four cuts . I don't think she took me seriously , you're just putting words in my mouth .
I never said that I got dreams too yeah , that's crazy , you're dumb , it looks cool , yes whatever , especially in the hat . Better , I'm jealous of it in a hat yeah right now of it in a hat . Yeah , right now I feel pretty confident in my hair get out of here .
I'll go put a hat on right now .
I won't please um it's hard to look at it's really okay , okay you guys got it all out of here , can you ? Well , it's not a real issue for you People with facial hair . What kind of facial hair Can you have as a cop For the city ?
I think you can have Anything that's groomed , but I don't know that . I know in the academy you can only have a groomed Like , not Like long , because people can grab it Like Bobby . I think that's about the line .
So academy you can have a mustache . Yep , here you should show up with a mustache .
I can't grow one . I know that's what's funny yeah that would be funny . I might actually , just to be fun , I might , I will .
Like Jay-Z .
I need a lesson on how to freaking shave .
What do you mean , dude ?
Because I get these , I get razor burn right here yeah .
Real bad . Okay , we'll just do it better .
That's why I don't know what I'm doing wrong . Do you use shaving cream ?
Yeah , he had to think about it .
Well , I bought some nice stuff because it wasn't working .
There's a sharp razor . Yeah , but that might be my problem . I need to probably switch it out .
Into a sharp razor ? Yeah , are you trying to tell me that your razor's too sharp ?
No , that's where I thought he was going .
No , I've been using it for like a month and a half .
How long are you supposed to use it ? Oh , not that long , I mean .
Granted , you're not shaving much , but Well , I've been trying to because I'm getting used to it , but it's not going good .
Hmm , Maybe people can send us in some tips .
Yeah .
I don't have a problem . I think you've got weak , sensitive skin .
I think so too Maybe .
What's wrong with me ? Probably a lot of things , Beta mainly .
Beta . Yeah Well , so Okay Well .
So , okay , okay , all right . Well , we'll get into a little bit of Bible talk . I guess A little bit of Bible talk , you got something .
Yeah , okay , you got something . Yeah , all right , ray , you got something , nope .
Okay , so we're in Matthew 10 .
This chapter is where Jesus sends out the 12 disciples , not something that I I hope I'm not kind of overlapping with something that you had Carter Carter here , but before I guess , just to start , jesus sends out his disciples and gives them the ability to heal , cast out demons and do all these things that Jesus has been doing for people .
Which just that part alone is .
Well , that was my one thing , oh really , how freaking cool was that man ?
Okay , go ahead , I don't want to steal your thunder . No , that was my one thing .
Oh really , how freaking cool , was that man ?
Okay , go ahead , I don't want to steal your thunder . No , that was about it .
It would be sick . But would you be kind of nervous , be like , oh yeah , like I don't want to screw this up , like he told me not to go here and here .
Yeah .
And get these people looks at me , knocked my dust off my sandals . Yeah , Like , all right , let's go . Yeah .
That'd be sick , though , which I would , so I would almost not believe it at first . Yeah , like because we've talked about them , even seeing Jesus perform these miracles and even still somewhat doubting , like is he actually doing what we see him doing ?
Yeah .
But now he says we can do those things like seriously would it be hard to stay humble .
He'd be like I've got the freaking power , oh yeah I bet after , like you , do it a couple times yeah like watch this .
Oh , but it'd be I'd be , scared .
I'd be scared probably , oh I'd be yeah , but then after a few I'd be like I'd be scared probably . Oh , I'd be yeah , but then after a few I'd be like , hey brother , it's going to be all right , but I don't know . I don't know what I'd really be like . I'm just kind of thinking here because I can't really imagine that .
Right , that's not even in our yeah .
It'd be cool , I think . Yeah , it would be power , they need some responsibility , which I don't have . I probably won't get the power .
Okay , guess that's a way of looking at it , huh .
¶ Seventy-Eight-Year-Old Phil Robertson's Outlook
So did you have anything specific about that ? I didn't mean to Nope you go ahead . I was really hoping that wasn't what you had , because I just wanted to highlight how kind of cool it was , I guess .
Yeah , so sick .
I thought it's interesting part .
Let me find it and read a little real quick . Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you and your belts . No bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff for the worker is worth his keep . Um , that is crazy to me because it's like oh , that was right into the mic . Um , like I , I pack like crazy on trips .
It's like so you've got your hair . That's kind of embarrassing get out of here like you can . You know how you have that me with shoes . It's an embarrassing amount for a man to pack on a trip , so I can't imagine being sent out like that and told not to bring anything . But once again , like you're saying , you've been given so much power .
It's still hard to imagine , though , yeah , and you've been given so much power , it's still hard to imagine though , yeah , and then at that point , like I imagine Jesus was like hey , I think in the Chosen the show , he like says okay , you're going to go here , you two are going to go there .
I don't know if that's what actually happened , but I imagine he gave some kind of direction .
But then also to be like how many of those disciples have been away from where Jesus is sending them , I guess , and just being like , okay , I'm going to go to this strange place and trust that someone's going to let me sleep in their house and feed me , did you guys see ?
The Chosen was in Controversy .
Mm-mm . Was this for the camera crew ?
stuff . No , I don't believe so . It was something like they're just not following the Bible anymore .
Really Well . That's unfortunate .
Yeah , I meant to send that to you guys the other day .
Oh dang .
I mean you guys can go on , I guess , and all that . No , you can .
How would they know ? Search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave Right Worthy ? Yeah , I don't know . That's kind of like I assume I don't know .
God's doing his work right , that's kind of how I take it I don't know um , excuse me , sorry , excuse me sorry . Yeah , I would imagine God has his hand in all of it , and I guess Jesus knows where they're going , and so you know , I don't know .
Yeah , it would be kind of strange , something kind of crazy that I think about . It says if the home is , oh , wait , wait , wait , whoa , if anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words , shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town .
I tell you the truth I will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than that town .
So that was one that I pulled up . I kind of marked it wasn't like the main thing but like we remember , I guess , from the Old Testament , what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah .
Yeah .
Like it just ceased to exist , yeah .
Yeah .
And that will be better than what those people will face .
Yeah , not welcoming Like .
Yeah .
I don't know . Think of it as I'm sure you would know , just that this is one of God's people that's doing miracles .
Mm-hmm .
But think of it as like some person coming into Linville like , hey , can I stay at your house ? Yeah , sure , I don't know .
That'd be weird . Yeah , it would .
It'd just be hard to trust , but I hope you would , because if you don't ? There's some trouble .
Yeah , that was one part that really stuck out to me reading through Matthew 10 , was just that that it'd be more bearable to be in Sodom and Gomorrah .
Yeah , how terrible that was .
And yeah , but also a little bit before that , it says freely , you have received , freely give .
It's like well , it seems pretty plain , but like we we said earlier , like now , you feel like you're you're kind of a big shot with this power like yeah all right , so like it would be hard , like even just as like human nature , I think we're a little greedy , like , okay , like I'll heal him , but I can also maybe fix that too like yeah , yeah you know ,
like what , what do you got for me ? You know , like I don't know .
Yeah , it would be strange just to , I mean .
I think it would be pretty like cool , I don't .
I but just to like automatically get it yeah . It's like I didn't do anything for this .
I'm following Jesus , but yeah , and thinking back to our last conversation was like giving , I think I bet the disciples just the feeling of healing people and casting out demons and probably seeing their reaction was enough to keep them like , okay , this is good . This is for God and I don't need anything from it .
Just to see these reactions and people being healed and families feeling better and being able to not worry about those things .
I feel like that's kind of how it's described . They said let's see , go rather to the lost sheep of Israelrael . So I kind of look at is like , go , herd these stray sheep , yeah , which is what we should be doing as christians .
So it's kind of a look at like like that , where we should be reaching out to these people that are kind of lost and showing them God's glory , the gift .
Yeah , I don't know why , but I just kind of pictured maybe the sheep not being lost but just being in one place not knowing where to go . I guess that's kind of being lost , but not completely separate , just not knowing the right path to be with the other sheep .
Yeah , that , yeah , I don't know so kind of like lost yeah you're right , you're right , yeah , yeah um so that's about all I had .
That's what I got out of 10 . Yeah , I'm sure there's more to it , but that's just what popped out to me .
Yeah .
Seems like we had similar thoughts .
Yeah , brady , did you have something you wanted to chime in ?
No , you guys are killing it .
No , we're actually killing the podcast . Yeah , literally .
The controversy , though , was in a scene they released for the upcoming season .
In a scene they released for the upcoming season , judas and Jesus are talking , and Jesus says to Judas that he'll pray for him , for his decision coming up , about whether to betray him or not , and people are talking about how that's not what would have happened at all , and because if Jesus prayed for him to , uh , not betray him , then none of us would be
forgiven , and so I don't know . You have to look into it on your own , do ?
your own research .
But I thought that was interesting and it shows that while shows are enjoyable and movies and whatever , it's always just better to get it straight from the Bible .
Yeah , Because why it's the word of the Lord and we can trust it to be true right there you go there , you go , go on .
What was that ? Isn't that what your dad says ? Or is that what Harold says ?
Harold .
I forgot about that . All right , I don't know why .
This just popped in my head . Have you guys seen how Phil Robertson has been doing ?
Kind of I saw Alzheimer's . Yeah , I saw , I guess he's got some other like blood disease or something too . Yeah , that doesn't help .
Yeah .
Yeah , that's pretty sad .
I always thought though because I think we had a conversation before , I don't know if we talked about it on here but especially after starting to go to church with you guys , one thing , one thing for me that kind of changed my perspective on it , anyways , was death and losing people , and phil , in one of his , one of their episodes , said when I die I don't
know if you guys seen he says when I die , don't be sad like there's no better place for me to be than after I die yeah , I did see that um , which is I like ? he's probably just so wise , and knowledgeable . Yeah , just so much closer to God . But yeah , I just thought that was an interesting outlook on things .
Yeah , he's also 78 , so
¶ Faith Over Fear and Driving Etiquette
.
I thought he was older than that .
He looks older .
Isn't that crazy . He seems older than that , lived a full life .
Yeah , all right , well , I'll get back to . Sorry for the .
No , you're good , brother , shoot off there . I like a little shoot off .
The part that I think offshoot maybe .
Yeah , you're right , I mean .
I could have let it go , I guess .
But that's why you're here , yeah .
You know , that's why we need you . That's why we need you , you're so back . Yep .
Back every six months . So back , no . But the little bit that I picked out or that stuck out to me was the theme of not fearing , and in 26 through 33 , a couple times he's telling them what it's going to be like don't be afraid .
All this stuff , and it made me think of just how many times Jesus says fear not or do not be afraid , and not just Jesus , but in how many times it's said in the Bible . And then I thought back . I think your dad included in a sermon one time that fear not or do not be afraid is the most repeated phrase in the entire Bible .
And I'm not going to say I counted it because I didn't , but the Internet said that it is said in the Bible 300 to 350 times , which is kind of crazy .
Yeah .
But he's telling them all this stuff and it makes you just think of the saying the faith over fear and putting that in front of fear , and fear is just something that's .
Natural .
Right Normal to all of us .
yeah , I think fear drives a lot of our decisions I think , with this power that they're given I don't know if it's called a power or whatever- yeah um , they would have had to have thought , okay , there's people out there that don't like it , right , and I might have to die for this . Yeah , so maybe that's the faith over fear , just like .
All right , we're going to do it as best as we can for as long as we can , but in the end we're probably going to be put to death for it .
Yeah .
So that would be tough , but I mean that's also what they did following Jesus . I mean quit everything .
Yeah , I guess maybe I should read it for anyone just listening . So 26 through 33 . So do not be afraid of them , for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed or hidden that will not be made known what .
I took a drink of my drink and he thought that was funny .
No , I was doing the face from Rick and Morty , okay .
Okay , all right , that's on us . Well , not us , that's on him .
I tell you in the dark speak in the daylight . I'm sorry , what I tell you in the dark ? Speak in the daylight . What is whispered in your ear proclaim from the roofs Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul . Rather be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell . Are not two sparrows sold for a penny ?
Verse 2 . Whoever acknowledges me before others , I will also acknowledge before my father in heaven . But whoever disowns me before others , I will disown before my father in heaven . and Judas no um , which is a little scary to begin with , but also pretty comforting .
Yeah , exciting .
Yeah .
I just want to go tell everybody which I should .
Yeah .
Let's go do it Trick or treat . Here's the Lord .
That should be the new saying . But yeah , I just thought that that was so . Then I was just like , well , what other verses can we look at that have the same message ? And I had a couple picked out here . The first one was Isaiah 41 , 10 . So do not fear , for I am with you . Do not be dismayed , for I am God , or I am your God .
I will strengthen you and help you . I will uphold you with many righteous . I cannot read I will uphold you with my righteous hand , and it's just God saying that he's obviously with us and there for strength and help . And then the other one , and then the other one was Psalm 56 , 3 and 4 .
When I am afraid , I put my trust in you , in God , whose word I praise . In God I trust and am not afraid . What can mere morals do to me ?
And I think that just kind of reiterates the point that Jesus says , like sure , someone could kill you , but they're killing your body , not your flesh or not your soul , and that belongs to God and only he can do that . Yeah , I don't know , I think that kind of just a little bit comforting .
Yeah , I think that's a pretty popular verse , isn't it ? I feel like I've heard that before .
Probably .
Well , I've definitely heard it before .
Yeah .
I think , if I before Probably .
Well , I've definitely heard it before , but yeah , I think , if I know , Shoot yeah . So that's what I like that saying . I guess it's kind of turned into I don't want to say like cliche , because it's a biblical thing , but like the faith over fear , Mm-hmm .
But it gets slapped on a lot of shirts and stuff like that now , but it's obviously like a pretty important message .
Yeah , it would be tough .
I mean , you think of like someone murdering you for your faith , yeah , and that would be like literally the worst time to back down and be like oh no no , no , I'm joking , yeah , and that'd be like literally the worst time to back down and be like , oh , no , no , no , yeah , I'm joking , yeah , and that's that kind of goes to the point of like Jesus and
the disciples after Jesus was crucified , like people don't choose to die on based on a lie .
Like , yeah , yeah , that's right , choose to die based on a lie .
Yeah , I think that's just one of those things that we look at as Proof . Yeah , in what we're reading , Yep , I agree .
Now on to Brady's hot take .
Yeah , we need one .
I don't have one prepared , yeah . I got nothing .
You're also my guest for the new segment , carter's Karaoke Yep , so you have to sing your favorite Christian song .
Yeah , I'm not going to do that , okay , okay .
Okay , so Carter's karaoke is really hitting the mark .
We're two for two here . Has anybody done it ? No , no .
It was me and you . Yeah , it was two people , oh yeah .
Carter's resume .
Yeah .
Carter had his shot last episode and just mouth open drooling to get something hot , yep . That's just him . Every day , though , yeah Shoot .
What .
Shoot . Oh , what do you think I said I ?
was like what . Oh , I know I have a hot take . I know I'm upset about something .
Okay , we'll take a break .
Oh , I solved Interstate problems . Three lanes All the time , semis , I think you still have .
Similar problems . No , yeah , you win Lanes all the time , semis right lane , I think you still have similar problems . No , yeah , you win .
Okay , here's my thought . I thought of this today on my drive Loaded semis to the right . If you're not loaded , you stay in the right until you need to pass loaded semis . Then you can go in the middle . Cars are middle and left Okay hold on Pause .
Do you think people are actually going to follow those rules ?
No , I'm just . If people did , it'd solve a lot of problems , I think Okay .
I think semis just shouldn't be able to pass .
Yeah , agreed , yeah , I do not like them . I went to Oklahoma , you remember that .
Remember that .
You remember it ?
Mm-hmm .
It was terrible , because the hills , them boys . They just want to pass so bad and then they're slowing down together . Then they speed up together and then they slow down together . It's like all right , what are we doing here ?
My hot take not really a really hot take my pet peeve when you're driving and you've got your auto , your cruise on and somebody you pass , somebody just going what you've been going and then they pass you and then they slow down again . That drives me nuts .
Yeah , I agree , because they're just on their phone or something . Yeah , and yeah , not really paying attention .
It's a lot of work . You see them up there and you're like , all right , I'm catching , catching , catching , Pass , Good , and then they freaking go . It's like what I just did all that work just to argue for a couple miles you know , and also some people seem to get upset when you pass them .
Yeah , like it's a attack on their manhood . Yeah , it's like dude , you can pass me if you want , just go faster , yeah . Don't care , there you go , but yeah , that's what I've been up to , yeah .
You're going to kind of back to the beginning , but you going to be hunting some more .
Yeah , I was going to hunt tonight , but I didn't . It's hard to .
I found it hard to hunt on my night shifts , getting up a little bit earlier than .
Yeah , because once you kind of in the thick of your night shift , you sleep till like four that's what I do and then go on with your day . So it's hard to go home , sleep for three hours and then get back up and yeah , that ain't worth it yeah , you going to be on night shift when you start ?
No , Really , I'll be on days whenever I start . Oh , because you like .
FTO . What is that ? I think is what it's called . What is ?
it FTO . Oh , it stands for something cool . I don't know what it is yet . Okay , but then Field training officer . Yeah , yeah , yeah , very good , see , that was a test . I knew it the whole time , but then if I get past that , then I'll be on nights .
You think you'll like that or not .
I think so .
I don't like the morning . Do you know , if we're on complete opposite schedules , we'll never see each other .
Dude , I'll freaking just come hang out .
I guess Zoe will just always have someone at the house yeah .
Nights are so bad . Switching every two weeks is really bad too .
Yeah , I imagine being on nights I feel like .
I'm sick and tired all the time .
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired all ?
the time . Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired , carter ?
Ramsey . Yeah , me too , dude .
