Episode 183 of the Hayden Alabama Podcast is where David, Robin, and Grunt bring another round of true Southern stories involving childhood trouble, hunting, marriage, law enforcement, near disasters, and memories from growing up in Mississippi. We also get an update from Robin, settle the “best hunting rifle” bracket, hear his testimony, and close with a discussion of Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13.
