Yeah, they build it out of ice. He glues it together.
There's way more.
There's a bigger variety of pizza than there are tacos.
You got just limited with tacos.
They're both fun. I was about to say.
Nah, I'd probably throw one something fast.
Devil horsing. Yeah, instead of the finesse. Hey, because look, it's a numbers game. The more throws you make, the better chance that you get some more fish.
I'm with you on that one, Godwin. He lost a lot of weight on that. Huh? He lost a lot of weight.
Well, I don't know.
I haven't had your pizza, so I'm going with the fried crappie. I'm fine with that. This ain't fair. I ain't had his, so I'm going to go with this one.
That was a sauce he was put on there.
What sauce did you say you was going to put on it?
It's going down the same place anyway.
Lisa's.
I said, no, Lisa.
Lisa's cornbread.
There you go. All right. Well, just being honest.
Let the uncle weigh in. Willie's got the best looking beard. There you go.
Willie uses product.
Well, no, I'm just saying. All right. Fun facts. Looking at both of them. All right. Willie wins.
Well, what about the squirrel? I would tree rat.
You'd throw the chicken away.
Yeah, but they didn't cook it right.
They didn't cook it right.
Yes goes a D. Yeah.
Doctor.
Cheeseburger.
If you get a cheeseburger or a hot dog, you got to take the cheeseburger.
They glues it together? He glues it. Oh, I get it.
Not just a regular one.
Here's what I'll make this decision on. I can eat five or six cheeseburgers with everything on them. I can only eat three hot dogs.
Well, I just never have, since I only have my cheeseburgers or Phil's cheeseburgers, and there ain't no such thing as bads.
Because you eat about eight of them. There's not one.
I eat a lot of hot dogs.
Yeah, if you're talking about that now, I might have to, yeah.
That ain't just a hot dog.
It's a hot dog. No, you're getting into the sausage part of things, and that's an entirely different ballgame.
Well, hey, I'm just saying. Come on. Come on. No. No. When you say sausage, you got away from hot dogs.
No, that's a Vienna sausage.
Oh, that was nasty. No, when you're talking hot dogs and sausage, that's two different things. Because I like to go with a real good sausage. I'll go with a sausage every time. Throw the hot dog out the door. I once had a hot dog that was fish.
You know there is a fish cat, right?
No. A cat that fishes. This is a catfish. I'm serious. It's a cat, a feline, and he actually is, that's what he does. That's his diet.
PBS, boys. What kind of cat?
The catfish. The tabby cat?
That's his diet. He's in the marsh and he eats fish. Fishing cats. Fishing cats, I told you.
A tiger probably eats fish.
No, no, because tigers love water.
They got it in a whole zoo. Oh, I'd like to have one like that, a pet.
Okay. He's a fish cat.
chocolate curious i'm sitting here thinking of all the chocolate bars i can ice cream bars i eat i just i don't well they couldn't be i've always wondered how there cannot be an ice cream sandwich without chocolate and vanilla that's right it's both well i'm a vanilla guy but i am chocolate curious on that boys
Because it ain't nothing better than having a vanilla ice cream bar and you dip it in chocolate and then let it freeze and then you eat it.
Or those little freaking orange pumpkins. I'll eat the pineapple, but the candy corn.
Yeah, now that's the way to go. That's the way to go.
Make it a side dish. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Well, to answer that, it really doesn't.
Okay.
We're trying to enjoy life.
This sucks, my man. I gotta tell that to my wife. She loves orange sherbet. She come in there the other night and she said, I've gotta quit eating orange sherbet for a few days. And I said, why that? She said, because my poop is orange.
Because look, this woman sits down and eats a half gallon of orange sherbet every night.
I couldn't help myself.
Okay. You are what you eat. That was what I'm getting out here. It don't make any difference.
Let me Google it. Yeah. Hey, find out what's regular. I'll tell you once a day.
I went a week. I look like I was pregnant.
Yeah, I would be with Martin. It's always open. Yep.
I'm going with juice.
Yeah, juice is a better top.
If you drink a gallon of it, you get to get out of school. Well, I don't know if that's true or not. Then juice? Think of all the juices you got to drink. Pineapple juice, apple juice.
Grape juice. Well, I'm just saying there's so many options.
Think of the other way. When you go to the restroom, you got all kinds of colors coming out.
I think juice is a better choice. Is lemonade considered juice? No. Why wouldn't lemonade be considered juice?
It's got lemon juice in it.
I'm going waffle.
I know.
I go with French fries. Oh.
I like my onions. Don't cook them.
Raw.
We got chips.
Nope. I ain't riding with you.
Jesus loves you all.
That's too fast on water.
Yeah, you can if you hit a log.
Oh, yeah.
Or a goose hits you in the face. Or a fish jump hits you in the face.
No, no, that's possible.
A goose could hit you in the boat.
If you're going 62 miles an hour, they'll do more than slime you.
I don't even know what that is. How far up does this big round thing go?
Well, I'll fix that. That's what I thought.
You'd end up in Oz.
Or you'd have to cut it. You couldn't unclick it. Unless you had a disconnect.
Yeah, if you just had a disconnect, it could do it.
You've got to have your beauty rest.
Oh, wow. Really? Yeah.
Yeah, John Wayne's the old cowboy.
Well, it's this or that. You can't do both.
Well, I ought to knock you out just because of that.
Crawfish. Crab legs are horrible.
They ain't even close to the same. Well, they both take a lot of work. No, but hey, the work is really.
Forget the blue crab. Go with the soft shell. Forget the king crab. That's what I'm talking about.
Give me the soft shell. That way you eat the whole thing. I'm going with pizza. I'm real good.
I hate black eyed peas. I'm going to go with black eyed peas because it's better tasting than the okra. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Can you deep fry black eyed peas?
I'm like Martin now.
All right, welcome back to the podcast, ladies and gentlemen. Yay. We've got my wife in here with us, Brittany. You brought it up. I brought up a weird fact about weird jobs and tips whenever we were talking about that. So then that led some of our producers... I guessed. You did guess. I mean, it was pretty easy. Dear...
No. Yeah. I actually love that job too. Like I got to talk to a bunch of people, got to help. The best part was loading the stuff for the old people. Because I was a kid, right? I was 17, 18. So, like, you got to help out your grandparents every day. I mean, pretty much. You were putting stuff. You were putting bags of Quikrete in, like, a Lincoln Continental.
Delightfully tactful.
Because you know they was about to go home and grind over burying a post, you know? But still, nothing make you more irrationally angry than that bag of Quikrete being busted, and then you end up with concrete all in your shoes.
yeah and that's i mean but it taught me a lot about like it taught me what i didn't want to do for the rest of my life like i didn't want to load fertilizer for the rest of my life i didn't want to i didn't want to thread i didn't want to thread gas pipe for the rest of my life because we did that too like we cut pipe and threaded it and all that but it's a cool skill to learn like this ain't what i want to do and my dad who was a
member of the plumber and pipe fitters union that's all he ever did was that kind of stuff and i was like yeah no this i don't i don't think your boy wants to do that i decided i'm gonna figure out a way to work with my brain oh that's real work you know yeah that's real physical work yeah that's tough work too man so but i'm thankful for my time there and i was in the warehouse for a few years and then i ended up at the gun counter slinging guns you know so i work i work my way up man thankful
I mean, Hooters paid my rent for four months, and that was a necessity. And I'm thankful for Valvoline. Like you said, how many women do you know that can do that? Not Allison.
And then look at you. You ended up Riveting Duck Call Reed. Genetic. Family history, man.
She ever put one through her finger like you did?
Why are you shocked you're saying that? Because I love women. Oh. Okay.
Yeah, them was bigger. Them was a lot more. Them was a lot tougher. But, no, you do what you got to do in the moment, man. You figure it out, and you do what you got to do. And I'm thankful that my kids come from that kind of stock. I was a waiter for two weeks. Two weeks. Yeah, I couldn't be.
Yeah, I couldn't do it. I don't think the service industry is not one that would fit my personality. Because if you want to get lippy with me, then I'm just lippy right back.
I didn't mind my retail.
I liked serving more than retail.
Home goods. I was opening up boxes in the back. That was actually my very first job. Home goods. Home goods. And then I also worked at Opryland at a place that was kind of like for clubbing clothes.
Whoa, whoa. Journeys?
No. Gosh, I cannot remember the name of it at all. Express back then? It was kind of like an express, but not as nice as an express. It was like a city train.
Yeah.
Yeah, it wasn't fun.
Yeah, but then actually from that job, that was the first time I ever went on unemployment because a big flood happened in Nashville in 2010 and Opryland got flooded and I didn't have a job, so. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. Just never pulled in.
For real?
The same one that got caught in a high-speed chase?
That's why I was almost scared to come on and talk about it. But at the same time, I shouldn't be ashamed of it because I had to do what I had to do.
Yeah. And it led me here in this seat right now.
You ended up in the duck call room via Hooters.
I ended up in the duck call room via Old Chicago.
2011?
100%.
Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Yeah, I remember, man. Leftovers, that was a big deal back then. Yeah, when I met Brittany, she was at, what is that, Old Chicago? Old Chicago. Pizza joint.
And next thing you know, Hunter's going to have a really interesting time one day telling his kids about the time he worked with four crazy rednecks up in this duck call room.
I'm just kidding. Oh, you are back from your trip, Hunter. How was your trip to visit your woman? Lady food. Oh, it was awesome. Was it? Yeah. How was your time at Mellow Mushroom?
Oh, I love Mellow Mushroom.
I didn't get to go.
You didn't? Yes!
Good for you, man.
Melon mushroom's good. It's fun.
It looked fun. We just ran out of time.
They had no idea.
Yeah. Yeah. Whatever were you doing to run out of time? No, I'm kidding. It's a family show, man. I'm kidding. It's a family show. We're talking about Hooters and Cowboys.
Serves wings and much, much more. They have not been back.
I was just about to say. Oh, boy.
We're talking about... It is a family show. Well, and that is... We're talking about all things that make a family. The clean, the dirty, the messy. It doesn't matter.
Let me tell you, we had to stand and I can only speak for my Hooters. I don't know about all the rest of the Hooters, but Netflix will speak for you in the beat. Like when we would get there at the beginning of our shift, we all had to stand in a line and our manager would come one by one and make us do a spin to make sure that we were up to par for the shift. As far as looks are concerned.
Mama, you want to stand up and take a spin?
Did they eat?
Stop it, Martin.
Yeah. Yeah, it was an upgrade.
It really was.
No, no. Yeah, you went from no clothes to a full wool suit and you said, I'll take this.
Yes, in a heartbeat.
Boy, that ought to tell you something right there. Golly, go from wearing nothing to- I don't want to be naked.
We may have to have your grandma in here one day, man.
I covered up quick.
Well, I mean, just think, Tennessee is hot in the summertime. I was just about to say that. You hop up under them things in a wool sweater. You want to talk about hot.
And when you're under the bay, you have these giant fans like back underneath the bay that are pointing towards you when you're under a vehicle, but it is blowing nothing but hot air on you. It's hot air. And then you have the hot, From the engine.
Somebody just pulled in there with a 240 degree vehicle up underneath everything. And it's getting sucked down in there.
And you're wearing a wool jumpsuit.
And that's still better than slinging wings. Yes. That's hard to figure, ain't it?
Like I said, I can't talk about everything that I experienced there, but that was a hundred times better at Valvoline than what I was experiencing at Hooters.
Thelma and Louise. Yeah. I mean, they got spike stripped in West Monroe. Not many people have ever done that.
But just like you're talking about, like our friend Josie Wells, man, endeavor to persevere.
I wasn't giving up. Endeavor to persevere, man. Just keep on pushing through because you're listening to this. You're driving somewhere, most likely. And you're either loving where you're headed or you're hating where you're headed or you're indifferent about where you're headed. But where you're headed ain't going to be where you end up.
And look at my future. And everybody's sitting in my future.
She's accidentally been to a Hooters. That's so impressive.
Ain't no doubt.
But the reality is it's going to happen.
You can make it out.
Yeah.
Oh, life hit me a few times.
Who knew? Who knew?
And we go get chips and queso.
And I'm an orthodontist assistant now.
Swiss Army knife, if you will.
I'm a Renaissance woman. That's what I like to call myself.
Uh-oh. Oh, boy. Boy, there's a story about that around here. A Renaissance man used to work here. But the point of the deal is don't get stuck in your hooters. Whatever that is.
Whatever it is, don't get stuck there.
Yeah, keep stepping. Keep pushing.
Coming from Nashville.
But look at you now.
But now you would say.
Yeah. Come on over here, girl. Yeah. Quit getting handsy. I'm trying to be like Godwin and Paula. Yeah.
Hey, sometimes in there I was like, why not?
And now we've been together, what, 12 years?
Oh, yeah.
12 total, 10 married.
Yeah, it'll be 12 in September, 10 married and...
Yeah, the end of May.
Oh, didn't he? And he laughed the whole time.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, we just got through celebrating all that, man.
Yeah, Easter hit different for me this year, for sure, because I just kind of looked back at everything.
Yeah, which, by the way, on Easter, we did the Saturday night thing with y'all.
You know what his son told me? Who? Carter.
Let me tell you what, Carter. I'm going to start calling him Carter the literal because that's what he is. He's very literal. There's no figurative. He looked at me at church and he said, oh, hey, Martin, I didn't recognize you. You look different. And I was like, oh, well, I'm not wearing camouflage. He said. No, there's nothing on top of your head. Because you're missing a lot of hair.
It's all an illusion. I got so tickled. I mean, the bald jokes, the fat jokes, I've heard them all. They don't bother me. But to see it. But to see it coming from Carter, I got so freaking tickled.
No, it was just, it was from brain to mouth.
And then we went to Javi P's and had a dance party. One of these kids taught my kids how to dance. In the middle of the Mexican restaurant.
Glad they were safe.
Can you count?
Limes.
I even told them I could, because like I said, I had applied to every restaurant in the area. And I even told them when they called me that I couldn't start for another week. Just in case Chili's called, you're like, I'm going there. Someone else was going to call me, and they didn't. And like I said, I was in no position to turn away an income.
Easy online ordering process and quick delivery straight to your door. Plus, with their Alive and Thrive guarantee and expert support, your plants will arrive healthy, And you'll receive guidance on choosing the right plants and learn how to properly care for them.
call him justin you never let me do anything fun justin and i had to call a time out because just the last week alone i believe two times they were out to about 10 30 the mom's club some sort of moms they call it a bible it's a bible study but they eat and then they bring home leftovers and then they sit there and talk till 10 30 at night but they don't ever get to do nothing fine
That was such a fun conversation.
I was like, what in the world?
I meant just because he doesn't like to like, I don't think he's comfortable yet taking the boys out places because it is. It's a lot.
Yes. Well, and it's not only that. I just don't want to be the people. That may be somebody's one night to go eat out. Or go do something. And I don't want my kids to be the one that ruined their night out. You know? Because, like, if everybody in the world thought my kids were as cute as they think they are, this wouldn't be a problem. Right?
Because in their world, they're two and they're still...
extremely selfish because you can't teach them nothing else that the whole the whole world is theirs and nobody else's so that's why i am like i am it ain't like i don't i mean it ain't like i don't want to hang out with y'all like your kids are hilarious but you know and i can't wait till mine get to that age but like it was just i don't want to ruin that for somebody if it's their one time or they've been trying to plan this we've ruined plenty of other people's yeah i know i mean it happened i'm like i get that side but at the same time i'm like
We got to get them experiencing things like that.
It happens, but I also knew Sunday was coming, too. And I knew we had a full day planned, so I was like, man, we need to be in bed by 7.30.
You never let us do anything fun. Never let us do anything fun.
I'm not proud of it, but I had to do what I had to do.
Well, we did it. We did.
And we did. And he didn't eat, but he put on a...
Well, no, there's no chance to eat. There's no chance both of us eat when we go to a place with him.
Yeah. And then I'll be ready. And then you get to play defense.
Well, and the reason this all got brought up, because apparently our friends over at Hooters are in the news because they're trying to rebrand their restaurant to a family-friendly atmosphere. Yeah. Well, I read the article. According to them, the original owners are back involved who sold it, and they still own like 22 of them, and theirs are a much different standard.
Yeah.
Yeah. They'll flag you.
See, that's what I want to try to avoid. I want to get them used to it so that when we do take them out places that they won't be complete banshees.
Yeah. Instead, they were just driving concrete trucks down the middle aisle.
As long as you give them a truck or a monster truck or something. Your kids are cute.
And then that's what, everything was fine until Ben's got up and started dancing. And then the boys were like, oh, I'm getting off this table. I'm getting off this little seat where I've been confined and we about to have a dance party.
party yeah that was on me yeah i mean it ain't on you like they i thought it was hilarious and then whalen decided he wouldn't like do the worm or something and crawl on the floor of the restaurant i was like come on son get up we were in the dead center i gotta talk to you y'all chose the seats we're corner people you gotta corner them well at the time when we first walked in there weren't corner seats available we went for the biggest longest avenue for them to drive those trucks yeah
Yeah, like we didn't want to be around nobody.
It wasn't about us. It was about how can we keep these kids contained?
Yeah, how can we give them the biggest space to drive these concrete trucks while she tries to eat? And then Waylon ate a little bit, which is surprising. Jackson, nothing. And then as soon as we closed the door. You want something to eat? No, no. We closed the door on the car. Snacks? Snack.
Snack.
we were just in a place that had everything that you would have wanted and no i just want to drive my truck and then we close the door on the truck on her car and snacks snacks like oh my gosh all right dude whatever i don't know i don't know how the kid's gonna survive
And then on day six- They're eating everything inside. They will eat everything that you put in front of them. And then you're like, oh, cool, man.
And they'll even try new things.
Yeah, they'll eat this now. And then you give them something the next day and they're like, I don't like it. That's their favorite. I can't like it. That's their favorite. I can't like it. It's I don't like it or I can't like that. I can't like that. Gosh, I hear it in my sleep. I'm like, oh. And now the new ones. Help me. Help me. I'm like, oh, my gosh.
Waylon will drop his car, be standing there looking at, help me. I'm like, uh-uh. Bend down and pick it up.
I feel like they're getting that from your mom, though, because she loves those boys so much. She does everything for them. She picks up all their stuff. Yeah. That's grandmama. Yeah. And they've been staying with her for two days a week while I work. Which is fine, but I just look at it.
She's earned the right. Oh, yeah. Hey, man. I'm ready.
Oh, she's absolutely earned the right.
Look, I love them kids, but I'm kind of ready to be a grandpa. Like, I get to see the stuff she gets away with. Hold on.
No, I'm just saying.
They didn't have a standards policy in place.
Another what? Another who?
What are you saying? We're not in agreeance on that.
No, we're in agreeance. You sent me to the urologist. We are in agreeance.
You're welcome, fans.
No, it cannot.
Go ahead, Brittany. Listen, if it is in God's will.
It can be done.
I would absolutely carry another baby. I wouldn't prefer to have two babies.
They had no policies in place.
But when he went and got that done. Snip, snap. Snip, snap. When he got that done, I was like. I know a guy.
Uh-oh.
I was in the thick of taking care of twins. I don't even remember the first year. I was surviving in the worst way possible. So I was like, you're not touching me. You will not touch me until that is snipped. And now we're two and a half years in, and I can breathe, and the darkness has subsided. And now I'm like, I could do it again. Fuck.
There you go. See?
not with me hey one more i'm not your cowboy i want a girl i don't know you know you know who the problem is your wife lottie yeah well lottie's the rudest kid on her i promise let me send her over so y'all started with two boys right then had a little girl very close together and our friends about two and a half years later had a little princess our friends the holdman's
Yeah, same situation.
Same way. And the rooster is the coolest little kid. She's a cool little girl for now.
It was pretty much one of the most toxic jobs I've ever had. There you go. How long did you work there? Four months. Four months. And then a friend of mine that I had met in college, she actually got me a job at Valvoline changing oil. So...
Yeah.
Like, you know, the problem with girls, no offense, I love you, dear. I know, we're crazy. But hormones are coming.
Yeah.
At least with boys, you know what's coming? Stink. They're just going to stink.
Hormones are a wild ride. It's a dragon that you've got to learn how to ride.
Especially for females. That's a different deal.
A crazy that we don't necessarily have control over. I can't help it.
Let me tell you something.
That is precious. When we were told... My ovaries right now. When we were told... That's the most precious thing I've ever seen.
Look, you're not going to find... Look at her little dress. You're not going to find a guy that was... I was so cool with being a boy and girl father when we were told it was a boy and a girl. I was like, all right, cool, man. That's tight.
And I think that's why I'm holding on to it because up until the anatomy scan, we were actually supposed to have a boy and a girl.
Yeah, they scanned it and you look and there was Waylon's penis, you know? And so like...
I said, I'm the one that put the fear in him. I still have the picture of us from the first ultrasound, of us holding the ultrasound, and it was just.
I remember vividly we walked out of that office and said, we beat it.
There you go.
If you need your oil changed or your tires rotated, I can also help you with that.
See?
I have so many more questions.
I'm a boy mom, though. I just feel like I wouldn't know the first thing about having a girl.
Yeah, you and a girl would be really cool until she got about eight.
And then we would have beef.
Then y'all would be.
Well, no, no. Yeah.
It is crazy.
But I see it too now. Like when you're in the thick of that stuff, like the boys are a lot of fun.
Oh, that's coming. Yeah, because right now it's monkey see, monkey do with them. Like if one of them gets to doing something and the other one ain't doing nothing, then they just go do the exact same thing, which is where a lot of the fights come from. Right.
Did you?
Yeah.
Have kids, they said. That's what Jackson will do. Jackson hates being yelled at, getting loud things. He's just not a big fan of it. So Waylon will just yell at him.
He'll get up right in his face and go, ah.
And then he'll turn to us like we're supposed to do something. I'm like, son, he didn't do anything to you. You just got to quit.
But Waylon knows what he's doing. He's like, I know that I'm not physically touching him.
Hold on, but he's pushing the button. Oh, yeah. He knows what to push the button. And Jackson does the same thing. He knows he's faster than Waylon. He's way faster. He'll take a toy that Waylon likes and he'll just hold it out in front of him. And then take off running. And then, boom, zoom, zoom, take off running. That's good. Yeah. I mean, he's like, yeah, catch me.
He just wants to be chased all the time. Yeah, he does. I don't know. It's weird because he's chunky, so you wouldn't think that'd be the normal thing.
But, yeah, he's.
You can make her stop.
Yeah, that seems to be Jackson's MO right now. He's a lover, not a fighter.
He submits. If Waylon wants to come grab a toy out of his... He might resist for a second, but then he'll be like, all right, here.
Here, I don't want you to yell at me.
Yeah, he doesn't like being yelled at.
Yeah, but it's a lot of fun right now. So I get where you could be talked into having another one. But I think we're a good family right now. We're good. We still ain't figured this out yet. Neither have we. Yeah. Just add another one. Yeah, just keep on, huh?
Yeah.
No, I went to a young guy.
Yeah, I went to a young guy.
To get it undone? Yeah, just reconnect it.
No, he said, consider it permanent. That's what he told me. He said, you can do something, but just trust me, you don't want to. And I was like, okay, whatever, let's do this.
Most would rather sit home and collect a check rather than go work something that they feel is beneath them.
What, like the reversal process? No, you never get it reversed.
No, reverse. You can go get it drawn. You can. There's.
Yeah.
They got intended. So I'm considering it permanent.
I'm not going to lie. In some of my prayers at night, I'm like, Lord, if it is your will, you have the power.
Yeah. And he does. He does. And he does. And he can. And he may. But that's up to him.
I have made mine. My bed is made.
Well, go ahead, and if you're going to do it, do it, because I'm about to be 34, and I don't want to.
Oh, you poor thing. I know you. You poor thing.
Old 40 over here. That's her heart.
Yeah, you poor thing.
Could you imagine?
I just don't want to go back. He just gave me a look. I don't want to go back through some of them early stages. But I mean, like now, if they pop out of like two and a half, that'd be cool.
But just think about just how easy it would be if we just had one.
Yeah.
Are you forgetting about the other two that we still have to take care of?
They'll be more self-sufficient. Like when we had the boys, it was two infants that literally could do nothing for themselves.
They won't even go pee on the grass. And you're calling them self-sufficient. They're not going to be self-sufficient for another three years.
But they're getting there.
Oh, boy.
Hey, self-sufficient.
Look, Lindsey's kid here yesterday, if you wonder why the office smells weird, Finley is a great child. I 10 out of 10 recommend if you've got a daughter. She's been on the pod. Oh, yeah, Finley's been here. I forgot about that. You consider her self-sufficient, right? She's 12 probably, maybe a little older, or somewhere around there, 10, 12 something.
Yeah. She's made ramen noodles up here before. She makes ramen noodles yesterday. Did she burn them? She didn't put any water in. Oh, you can blow up a microwave to it. So when you consider self-sufficient, let's consider the sources here.
Oh, there you go. Yeah. See, that's what I mean. Like, yeah.
Self-sufficient enough that we could have another baby.
Yeah. And it'll probably be of the canine variety.
Listen. Yeah, I'm with you on that. Another kid before the dog because I'm drowning in dog hair and I love our dog so much. She was our first child, but.
Yeah, we've already had a girl. Yeah. Her name's Jude. She'll be 11 this year, so our time's running thin, I'm sure.
No, I'm just saying that's the problem with a dog is most of them you're going to outlive.
That's the problem.
Yeah. I don't need another one. I mean, I could be talked into a turtle. Nope.
I don't want anything. He loves turtles, dude.
Unless it's like Michelangelo, I'm out on turtles. I would go for a box turtle over one of them that requires like a water deal, but like
It earned its keep because it would go through eating the centipedes in our house. You just had a turtle that run free? Yeah. It's a free range.
Where's he going to go? Yeah. We gave him water. He just ate the centipedes. He ain't going to run out the door on you.
Johnny D, turtle poop, you wouldn't ever even notice that, man.
A little box turtle, yeah, you're not going to notice that.
Congratulations. I had a lot of guys looking at me, but I also had some haters at Valvoline, too, because I'd get these guys come in in their big jacked-up trucks. She don't know what she's doing. They'd see me go down below and they'd be like, is she the one that's about to change my oil? And they throw a little fit and they would, my boss would always back me up like she's certified.
But I would say right now with the boys' current obsession, we're trending towards some sort of lizard.
Yeah, they're obsessed with lizards, which I'm not excited about.
They love catching lizards right now. They just look at you and go, go catch a lizard? Or... And then you watch them, they like sneak up. Like they want to be like a baby cheetah, but you know, then they don't know what to do once they get there. And the lizard's like, all right, bro.
Yeah, then they look at dad and they're like, pick this up.
Yeah, can you catch him for me and let me pet him and then we'll put him back.
Yeah, don't get stuck in your Hooters. And if Hooters management reads this and y'all put that verse on a shirt, we just want some credit. That's all we're saying. Don't get stuck in your hooters. Yeah. Don't get stuck in the hooters. I believe it's now called hoots.
Hoots. I was just about to say, I just don't see how they can be family friendly and still be called hooters.
I'm here for it because I'm here for it.
Yeah. Absolutely. You go hooters.
Yeah. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck crawl room. We're out.
But in my head, I'm like, you wouldn't be here if you could do it yourself. So I'm going to go change. Put your oil in 15 minutes. Go ahead with your bad self.
Yeah, go ahead, you little man complex self. You driving that jacket truck up in here.
How long did you work at Valvoline? Oh, that was probably almost a year.
She's still got a scar on her arm to prove it.
I do. I actually have a scar on the inside of my arm because the burn sleeves are made for men. And my wrists are tiny and dainty.
Yes.
A man wouldn't fit in that very well. A couple guys. Those orange shorts would be a little unforgiving, if you will. Potentially they'd change from an owl to a camel. I don't know. Nope, nope, nope. Burn sleeves. Or a moose.
The burn sleeves were not made for women, and the exhaust pipe was wrapped around the oil filter, and I had reached up to unscrew the oil filter. I don't know what you're talking about.
It was hot.
My burn sleeve slipped down, and it sizzled the inside of my wrist. Then you heard a little shh, shh. Yeah. And then hot oil proceeded to trick him. There you go. It's very traumatic.
The list is long, actually. I was just about to say. But the first stop.
See, but that's what you got to have, man. You got to find your woman with a work ethic, man. She work at Hooters. She work at Valvoline.
I went back into the restaurant business after Valvoline.
I was desperate to get out of Hooters. That checks out according to Netflix.
Did you rock that blue jumpsuit?
Yeah, it was all wool. Did it say Britney on it? It did.
Yeah.
Yeah, Jacob Mayo will probably pay you top dollar for that.
He'll make you a good deal.
General Vantage, baby.
A navy blue wool jumpsuit.
But I'm a firm believer.
And I kept it in a locker at work. We have black steel toe. Yeah, all the things.
This was my first stop. And I do want to preface this by saying. I didn't really have a choice. I had applied to every restaurant in the area.
Everybody needs to start at a job where your name is on your shirt. Yeah. To some level. Super one.
A blue collar job. Yeah. Like at Tyner Petras, I had a name tag. Said Justin Martin across it. Like everybody needs to start where your name's on your shirt, where nobody knows who the crap you are. I've had a lot of jobs. And then figure it out.
Was it a stage name? Or did you go with your real one?
Yeah, and especially because we had to pay for our uniforms. So I was not trying to mess my uniform up because it's coming out of my paycheck.
So did y'all had to pay for like them pantyhose they wear?
Yes, there's a vending machine in the back of every Hooters.
They come from a vending machine?
Comes from a vending machine. You pay for your socks and your pantyhose.
I see where they got the tacky part now.
That's tacky.
What about, did they give you them orange shorts?
Huh?
The orange shorts they give you?
Yeah, they gave me the orange shorts. They gave me the orange shorts. I got my first uniform free. It's the least they could do.
Yeah.
There you go. That was quite a... No. There is no evidence other than the IRS.
And this podcast. Up until now that I worked at Hooters. I worked very hard to bury that, but I am unashamed. I have found Jesus and I am unashamed of my past.
There you go. So it was really kind of a weird moment when last year we went to Cancun for New Year and with some friends, a bunch of friends, we were tired of eating out at the fancy Mexican places.
You would. I mean, you really would.
Buddy, just trust me, you would. It was a weird deal. So we were like, national championship was coming on. We said, we're going somewhere American. Got on there, Googled American restaurant near us.
But one in particular was a first. And I was in no... To be fair, that kind of speaks volumes.
Hooters, baby. Which then allowed her chance to explain to our friends face-to-face.
Because he brought it up again. I was like, well, Brittany used to work here. It's a great story. And I was like, stop telling people that.
It's a great story. I'm going to tell our kids. You are not. Oh, yes, he is. Yes, I am.
What?
Ants? In your pants?
In your pantry?
Yes.
What?
Yeah, you had to have a job.
Ants. Ants. In your pant.
There you go. Pesty rules. And it's super easy. Yeah. And you can, it's DIY. I mean, they take care of it. If I can do it, you can do it. Yeah. The other guys charge over $800 a year. Pesty gets you going for just $35 of treatment. And it's made for your location, bugs, and climate. Look, it's springtime. It won't quit raining. Your house a lot of times is the high spot.
I had to have a job. It was actually very crucial. I didn't have help. No one was helping me at the time. So, and... I had just got an apartment with my best friend and her mom, who I've known since I was very little, was the co-signer. So I was like, I'm not going to let her down. I've got to get an income.
Bugs are going to the high spot. Water everywhere, they're coming to the high spot. That's your house. So if you want to evict them, you can get with Pesty. Look, Pesty gets rid of over 100 types of bugs. I'm talking spiders, ants, roaches, scorpions, you name it.
And there you go. Look, Pesty is also kid and pet friendly. The pesticides they ship... Everything you just said, I enjoy being in my home. The pesticides they ship are fully registered, and they've been used all around the country in hospitals and schools, so you know you can trust it. Pesty offers a 100% bug-free guarantee or your money back if the bugs don't go away.

we have very different lives i said eat it son your mom's gonna see you at hooters you're gonna get in trouble and i was rude of me i apologize luke if you're listening uh about no the reason i'm gonna tell the boys is because it proves you're not above anything right like if you need a job because you signed on the dotted line to make a commitment to pay for something you go get that job.
Whatever it is.
That's what I'm saying.
She was one of them at 18 that ran out of mom and dad. Gone. I'll figure this crap out.
Now my dad, I will say, I want to give him a little credit because he ended up coming around I think it was my sophomore year of college and he's a veteran so he signed over his VA benefits which gave me a housing allowance at that time. Which I still worked on top of that, but it was nice to have that little break. But at the time, but at Hooters time, I was on my own. No one was helping me.
And when you sign on the dotted line, you've got to do it.
You've got to do it.
There's no forgiveness. There's none of that. You signed up for it. You got to do it.
My home life was very toxic. I had to get out of where I had to get out of the situation I was in.
So, and that's something I want the boys to know.
So you decided you needed to be delightfully tacky. Yet unrefined. Isn't that the catchphrase? Isn't that what they put on the back of those shirts?
Because you got to.
And if they are, they generally have the clipboard and meet you to deal before the oil change. They're not the ones under the lift.
I can rotate your tires too.
There you go.
I actually need that done. Yeah. I'll hop on over there.
Yes, best I could. See, that's what we're talking about. Cheers to you, mama.
Yeah. And I was not going to let.
Well, you do have a choice. And you can either lay there and wallow in it, poor me, or you can get out there. Or you can get out of it. Yeah, you can put your britches on, put your shoes on and go to work. Sling wings, sling oil, sling something. Sling something. What you sling? Fertilizer. Fertilizer and quick creek.
Remember when they shut down the entire city for three days because we didn't have nothing to do? They put our mayor on the weather channel, and they're like, well, how are y'all going to get that? She goes.
She goes, we ain't got no snow plows, bro. We just going to wait. They said, well, what are you going to do? She goes, wait till God melts it.
I was giggling so hard. So I said, and a Bengal tiger comes over. I mean, it was magic. I was like, this is why. This episode right here launched everything.
Oh, well, see, that's why our mayor's better than theirs. Ten inches of snow in Lafayette. They spent a bunch of money on getting, like, Indiana to send snow plows. Lafayette, Louisiana. Is Iowa still over, too?
No option for failures.
Carter looked at me and said, you need to take me duck hunting. I said, well, Carter, you're going to have to ask Martin because I ain't going to duck hunting unless I ask Martin.
Yeah, the neighborhood squirrels are in danger next fall is what I have a feeling.
I got to figure it out. I've got a .14 he can use. Now, we're about to start the actual gun training process with Carter. Hey, if he's going to be president.
Oh, yeah. No, that would be perfect.
The other one's going back to it. Whenever we pass Stone's house, go to my parents, we lock the doors. That way Carter don't get beat up by any girls. If we're in the neighborhood on a walk, we run.
Speaking of your wife, who was she watching play basketball the other day?
Well, your next-door neighbor got his butt kicked by my son, but that's the end of it. All right. And by my son, I mean by my son's friends. They really dominated. But my son was cheering them on. Ben's is the best to watch play basketball. He's like, hey, I'm open. And then they don't pass it to him and they go score. He's like, great job, man. It's like the team cheerleader. Team morale.
Half of them were my nieces and nephews.
He ain't competitive. He's like, dad, we had fun. I'm like, but you lost. He's like, but it was a good time. And I'm like, I can't argue with this logic.
But I saw your wife out there and I was like, I don't think Clay has a third grader, but. If he does, we just beat him, and I can't wait to tell him about it.
But I'm not an outside door. We got doors on both sides.
He's a weapon, man. That's where Willie got it from.
Throw stuff. Yeah. Speaking of throwing stuff. What?
Oh, nobody likes them. Si, guess who I just met with? And we need your advice on this. Oh, there you go. Guess where I just came from. I feel like I've grown into a full-grown adult now. Although I don't want to. The mayor asked me to come meet with her because West Monroe is putting on a gar rodeo. A gar rodeo? A gar rodeo. Well, how do you put on a gar rodeo?
That's why we had to have a whole meeting. Apparently it's just going to be a fishing contest where who can catch the biggest, nastiest gar?
Whatever kind of gar you got, man.
That's a good one. There's one down south at Gar Rodeo. Hey, hey. 143 pounds one.
They have those competitions. They have like shark catching competitions some places.
I had that in Jaws. Hey, he breaks his tooth off. Well, that's what we're doing, but on the wash ball river.
But I convinced them for the weigh-in, we're going just straight downtown. Downtown West Monroe? And we're going to weigh 100-pound catfish and guard in. And it's going to be awesome. And I told them my only rule is I need the guard commanders to be the mascots. That's right. And, Martin, it gets better. You know that mullet toss Floribama does? Yeah.
I don't know about that. That ain't my rig. But we are going to. I get to be the emcee of the mullet toss. We might just have mullet shipped in. I don't know how we're going to do it. But I'm also going to win it. Because I threw the javelin.
Oh, yeah. No, it's the most redneck thing. I was proud to be from West Monroe this morning. Because I met with all of our dignitaries and the visitor's bureau. We got like the world championship cornhole coming to West Monroe. They had to get to be able to sell beer at the place so the cornhole people would come. And I was like, praise the Lord. We're going to end up on the Ocho.
We are going to be the Ocho. West Monroe is on its path. Hunter, that's your neighborhood. Exactly. We already had ping pong. That's your people. I'm sorry. Table tennis. We had the table tennis qualifiers. Now we got cornhole championship. And a gar rodeo. It's all the same time? No, it's all different. Oh, the cornhole. That's what's going down. I was like. I was about to say.
We got minor league hockey.
I know. Can you imagine?
I don't think they're going to pull it off. We don't even want your Bucky's anymore. A Gar... We want a gar rodeo. Unless the Bucky's sells gar balls.
Somebody's offended by that. Why?
One bone to pick with our entire show is he's sick of us talking about the Bucky's brisket. He emailed this 14 hours ago, and here we are talking about the Bucky's brisket.
Of Duck Dynasty? Uh-huh. Now. Oh, my gosh.
There's another point here, though.
He did put a P.S., and he loves Stone. True American, my kind of people. So he got a little stoned in him.
So he kind of ornery from the start.
I've already stated it.
There's a certain class of celebrity that can't go into a Buc-ee's. You are in it.
uh well yeah but the frogs on the on the golf course combined with the career day cannot be beaten that's a good one i mean it was magic like there's more there's more game on the on the golf course than there is anywhere else that was what the whole episode was about and it was also funny because there was a there was an episode right after that where it was basically like we have to explain side of people
I've taken pictures in a Bucky. They're like, aren't you that kid on one episode of Duck Dynasty? And I was like, that was me. Can I have a picture? I was like, sure.
I might be wanting to bite you. Anyway, Martin, do you want to participate in throwing fish with me?
You can wear overalls and no t-shirt.
This is the chance that you get to do it. I can't do that on a regular basis. I can do it at a Gar Rodeo. I'm way more apt to wear sleeves and pants.
There's a pole division. There's a bow fishing division. There's a jugs division. And then there's a youth division. Wow. Which one pays the best? And then there's the catfish division as well. Which one pays the best? We don't know that yet.
I've been throwing stuff for a minute. Between those two. No, not a javelin. We're throwing fish. But you both have to wear overalls and no t-shirt. I'm in. We're throwing a fish. We're throwing a fish. The whole competition will be picking up some sort of fish off of ice and seeing who in this town can throw it the furthest.
On throwing a fish the furthest?
Unless it slips, I can throw things.
He can pick up a bigger fish than me. I can throw a small fish for him.
I'm a thrower from way back. He's a thrower.
I did not run track. I threw things. A chunker. A chunker.
Come see them, though. Come to downtown West Monroe. Hang out with me. We're going to look at red ducks with giant fish. I'm so excited you can't get me down about it.
And there was the whole thing, like, that we take for granted about how he says, hey. They do the whole thing, like, why does Si say hey so much?
Can we just go back to something real fast? Just real, before we let this moment get away from us, Hunter might be the most interesting person in this room. I'm telling you, I've told him things. Because he's like, hey, remember that time I drove to Austin to watch Barbie the movie? Also, I went frog gigging with my cousin one time. My Asian carp jumped out.
We sucker punched that sucker right back into the water. So it's like you're the most eclectic redneck I've ever met. That's life with a redneck, son. But he does things that are so un-redneck. Like, I guess he's probably a lot like Jep. They both play World of Warcraft, but they'll kill something if they need to eat.
Anyways, that's why I love Hunter. Also, Hunter, the people want the camera. Oh.
I believe on Duck Dynasty season one, episode two, Phil Robertson said a bunch of nerds. Probably. That's what I call myself.
I like that attitude. No, he's in the dead center of each of his circle because they're like, you know what? I'm too weird to go out and frog gig. And then the frog giggers are like, man, I'd like to go to the movies, but my friends would make fun of me if they heard I went to the movies.
I mean, eclectic redneck, very average at Call of Duty. He's a great guy.
I got to see if we're in space yet.
That's the best part about being from a small town. We got cornhole, we got gar rodeos, and I can tell where you got shoes.
That was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I never considered myself big and tall, but I had to go to a different section to get socks. Socks go up to a 12. Yeah.
Yeah. You go put on. That's not what I'm asking. You go put on a child's sock and you'll be like, this is miserable. Yeah.
When they're like, oh, this sock fits size 4 to 6, you'd be like, no, it's not big enough. And socks are all. You look at socks, every one of them is a 9 to a 12. Yeah, they stop at a 12.
Hunter's Love Life. I've been waiting for this moment. Hello at duckcallroom.com. Hunter, this is encouragement from Ryan. I don't know where Ryan's from, but he's a compliance manager at Cotton Holdings Incorporated.
it's a very fancy email oh he he has a guarantee and i actually think he's right okay you know hunter's like i'm taking a break yeah can't do this anymore women are crazy it's that time in 30 days you'll find her and you'll be engaged in a year that is ryan's guarantee and i'm actually that's typically how it goes it's that time when you stop looking that's when she shows up hunter cool
I'm committed to being on this one as much as I was on the last one.
And do you have any voicemails, Hunter?
All right, you get the voicemail ready. Cade from College Station slash Brian, Texas says, If you're wondering how to get me to really pay attention to your email, this is a great way. The subject line is like a yield sign with an exclamation point emoji. Caution, this is a great question. And then another emoji. I was like, you know what? Okay. We're going to find out, buddy.
All right. Gig them, Aggies. If you could live off one animal for food for the rest of your life.
What would it be? What a boring answer. Chicken. Chicken, pork. Squirrel. Squirrel. You know how many dead squirrels are at the beginning of Duck Dynasty, by the way? It's been a wild ride.
Yeah, no, I knew you were going to pig.
I might actually... Oh, that's such a tough question. No, it ain't. The rest of your life, you're locked into one chicken. The answer's always squirrel, he says. Always squirrel. Chicken's the obvious, though.
Well, I'm about to country club the country club, by the way. Because I think I'm going with shrimp. Oh, a shrimp, yeah. You can grill a shrimp. You can boil a shrimp. You can butterfly a shrimp.
I've been told by my mother, everything you're not supposed to eat pregnant, my mom ate, and I'm doing all right.
So we got squirrel, pig, chicken. Nobody in here with the cow. Well, see, that was up in the air.
Hey, you can wrap anything in bacon.
I'm glad this isn't like a real scenario. That was a good question. That would just make me a bummer.
You're getting stuck with chicken. Every restaurant in America got a chicken.
If you ain't a thigh man, then get out. Yeah.
Alice's spring chicken. Love to have you come. Can't afford it. Anyways, one day I'm going to memorize this number. 318-215... 6559.
318-215-6559. Hunter's going to listen, and then if Hunter deems you worthy, he'll play it. And Hunter's an eclectic redneck, so remember that when calling in.
Malachi. Malachi from, I mean, Jerusalem? Malachi.
Me. I put my picture on a satellite and they sent it to space.
Really standard voice. Hard to guess. Indiana. Yeah, somewhere up there. I'm going to go with Ohio. O-H-I-O.
It's going to get dark when you ask me that. I don't like being alone, friend.
No, I take it back. I would explore some places. Would you? Area 51. We're going to find out what was happening there. How are you going to get there? In a car.
I ain't flying no dead gum airplane by myself, y'all. What if I die?
No, if everybody's gone, they actually made a TV show about that. Really? Yeah. It was called Last Man on Earth, actually. You're going to die. The first four episodes were decent.
Oh, yeah. That's eventually going to drive you crazy.
But I got like three or four months. Like, we're going to go read all the stuff that's happening in the White House.
Oh, for sure. I'm going to take a picture. I'm going to post it to Instagram. We'll get no likes, but I'm going to do it.
If it's a rapture, that sucks. See, that's what I was wondering. Because I can think, I ain't trying to judge people, but I can think of some people that should be behind me in life.
I'm fine with that, but not last.
But I will say- Duck Dynasty revival ain't a thing without Sadie.
I ain't got no explorations in Mexico. Really? I don't need to see any of that.
Oh, the animals. Yeah. You can drive to Mexico, no problem. If nobody's left, guard it. Yeah, that's easy. You can bike all the way to Argentina.
I'm just going to say who the star of the show was.
PBS has got a good station.
It's the only part of the government that Cy agrees with is the public broadcasting service.
Verse of the day. I'm going just verse of the day, which happens to be one of my favorite verses. Bible gateway? 2 Corinthians 12, 9. But he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me. Love it. There you go. Amen. It's a solid one. Welcome back, Si. Yeah.
There's things that are going to happen that it just excites me. Yeah. Anyway, I say all that to say Carter wants to go duck hunting. Yeah. And I said, well, buddy, we probably need to practice. You know, Carter, we haven't necessarily reached the age and all kids are different.
Some kids can handle a gun at five and I get that. There's going to be people comment. I gave my son a gun at four.
Just so we're all aware, that ain't Carter.
So we've been waiting and building up to this, and I was like, all right, I think he's ready now. So I said, we're going to have to practice some. We're not going tomorrow. He was like, no, we'll go tomorrow. I was like, no. I said, and you're going to have to ask Martin. I said, and it's too cold for me. I'm very fair weather at this. Yeah. And he said, okay, well, I need to practice.
So I need you to get me, print me off a picture of a duck and bring me a Nerf gun. I said, no, no. I said, he goes, he goes, it's basically, that's practice. I said, kind of. I said, but a Nerf gun and a shotgun are very different consequences if you make a mistake. And he goes, he looked at me and I go, yeah, Nerf gun. I say, ow, a shotgun. We're all at the hospital. And he was like, huh?
No, it would be Mark Rober's fault. You did what? Mark Rober. Also, welcome back. Well, sorry.
With young Carter, and it's a wild ride.
And it's funny. Cause it, it's just so weird. The way life works. Cause it, it's, It's Duck Dynasty that has turned him into this, like, I am a man who needs to kill my game. Because Phil Robertson told me a woman will never cut me off in bed if I bring her fresh squirrel brains. And I'm like, no, you can't. That's not what he said. But I did get nervous about explaining that to my children, Phil.
I didn't know we were recording. You know that kid, the guy with the squirrels in his backyard? He built a satellite. Okay. He put a phone on the satellite, and he put another phone to take a picture of the phone on the satellite. So if you send him your picture, he will take a picture of you on the other phone from space with your hometown in the background. I don't know if you've met Carter.
So thanks for that. tvpg oh i'm ready for the crawfish episode i can't wait yeah you see that little thing like i mean yeah he gave it to all of them oh oh phil was just i guess i just i i know phil and i know size so size always cutting up and size hilarious and phil's always real serious but man he's funny on that tv show it's always the same deal like have you ever heard phil laugh
My favorite's when he says your name to you wrong on purpose. Oh, yeah. And I know you know my name. Yeah. Because you're one of the smartest people I know.
Tommy B, Jimmy C, hey, go over there and give me that water. Yes, sir. You don't correct him. You just say, yes, sir. I am now Tommy B for the rest of my life. Oh, man.
It looks different now because it's us.
That was one of Carter's favorite parts of Duck Dynasty 2. He was like, I've been in that room.
I was like, yeah, buddy. I go there all the time.
Why? It's because our friends at MyPillow have a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of their life.
They can't stop. They won't stop.
Fascinated by it, so we had to do it. How much? Well, we're members of the club, so we didn't have to pay anything.
Sheets. Top notch. Slippers. Sleeping on clouds.
I had my kids running around the house one night. I'm going, the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria. I didn't tell them the rest of it. That would be inappropriate. That's a bad deal. Anyways, duck call room?
We're in. Okay. We get the box every week. Really? Yeah, we're engineers at our house.
Si, you missed an episode.
How do you feel? I feel pretty good. First and foremost, you're on the mend. You're good. Oh, yeah. Okay.
We heard you bounced up pretty quick.
Oh, gosh. I'm very nervous. So, welcome back to the duck call room, anyways.
So Carter wants to go duck hunting because we've watched Duck Dynasty, which by the way, we're like six episodes in now. I forgot just how funny Phil Robertson is on Duck Dynasty season one. Because I've always said my favorite episode is when they go to the school for a career day. Yeah, he's gotten it. We watched that last night, and you would think I was like a junior high girl.
Because once you got to the gate, you were trapped. That was it. There, there is no getting out of here without Phil at that point, especially if you ain't ever been there. And he just looked at me and he said, do you know Jesus? And I said, like any good heathen, right? I said, absolutely. You know, you know, I ain't like, you don't want to say the wrong thing. You bet.
Oh, I mean, you're with Phil Robertson on his land on a four wheeler and he's got a 22 rifle on it. Yeah, absolutely. I know it. I mean, yeah. And, and to be fair. it wasn't an outright lie because I didn't know who Jesus was, but I knew the question he was asking. And I also knew that my answer was no. Right. But I said, yes, because I didn't know. And he knew I was lying to him.
I mean, he ain't, that was one thing. He was a, it's a good thing. He didn't play poker because he could read a human like that. Right. Like he just knew that.
from that and then we went through the whole deal everywhere we stopped we he shared the gospel in nature which for me being a biology nerd was really cool right like we we stopped and talked about different plants and you know i'll forever be grateful for that first time and then fast forward a few years to getting to work with him and spend all the time on the land with him and
I taught him about plants, and he taught me about floods.
Yeah, I was teaching him about plants and how to grow weeds, essentially, and he was teaching me about floods because I had no idea. I didn't know what backwaters did. That man single-handedly knows more about the Washtenaw River than the Army Corps of Engineers who quote-unquote designed it. Phil Robertson knows more. about the Ouachita River.
The most knowledgeable man on the face of the earth, aside from Jesus himself, knows more about that Ouachita River than any person ever will going forward because it was his lifeblood. It was everything to him.
When I first started here the bitter pecan was still the number one enemy. followed closely by the beaver.
So I got plenty of time over there on the squirt bar. He wouldn't ever let you do the cutting because the cutting was fun. But he'd let you stand there and watch him get kneed up by mosquitoes squirting chemical on the roots.
Oh yeah.
Yeah. He, uh, he's the one that taught me. I mean, he's, he's the one that told me this. He said, look here. He said, you would rather look dumb and be smart and be smart than vice versa. He said, look, I'm down here. Nobody thinks I know anything. He said, it's the most freeing thing in the world. He said,
if you get up there and you got to start spitting it out he said that ain't where you want to be they said you you just end up right down here and the man i mean and for three maybe four years i spent a lot of time i mean i slept on his couch like and at the lodge and because he had a new young laborer you know right that that was on the payroll so willie wasn't gonna say nothing like
Um, he went labor. Yeah. He went crazy one year and decided we needed to do everything at night, you know? And so I would, I wasn't going, I wasn't going to drive back down there after two hours of sleep. I just go in there, sleep on the couch, sleep in the playroom. Let me get a little rest. Yeah. Let me just get a little rest, you know, about once a week I'd go home.
Uh, you know, but I mean, he had fresh clothes. He'd have me 24 seven down there. And man, it was just, and Goblin was right there with it because he just went crazy one year. He went, everything had to be done at night.

And all Mac wore buttons on his shirt. Yeah.
And that's as close as you're ever going to get to a compliment.
Oh, wow.
Hey, Brett. Oh, yeah. Oh, Brett, man. You were known by whatever you did.
It's just like before we got started, Sinky called me Buster Crab on the phone. I didn't even know who Buster Crab was when Phil hung me with that. I had to get on the interwebs, as he called them. To find out who Buster Crabb was, you know.
Yeah, man. I don't know. I'm trying to, I mean, you just look back on it. I remember we, uh, when I first started here, we, I was getting all like the information at commander.com emails, all that stuff. And we got invited. to a place to go duck hunting up in Nebraska called Cheyenne Ridge. I'll never forget it because of the travel it took to get there.
And I just, you know, by happenstance, walked in there and told Phil about it. And he was like, yep, load up the truck. And I was like, do what? I mean, it was like November, like November 1st, something like that. And I said, what do you mean load up the truck? He said, I think I'm ready to go duck hunting. Load up the truck. We going. They invited us. We going. I was like, okay.
Well, we roll out at about 2 p.m. We don't make it off a red cut road before we get pulled over for speeding. Like legit on red cut road. It was me, Phil, Jace and Jeff all in one pickup truck. Four grown men with everything we had in one pickup truck on red cut road were pulled over.
sheriff's officer walks up there of course this is pre-duck dynasty pre pre all that stuff he walks up there phil got his license registration cops say you know why i pulled you over and phil just looked at him said whatever you got to do do it quick we're going duck hunting and i was like wait do what like i'm just sitting on the back seat you know like a young fat boy because i mean i'm about 300 pounds at that time
And I'm like, what did this man just do to this cop? He just said, whatever you got to do, do it quick.
And I said, well, we're getting that ticket. That ain't no big deal. Whatever. And the cop walked back about two minutes later. He said, Mr. Robertson, please slow down. And I hope y'all kill him. And then we're gone. And we rolled to Nebraska. I'm talking about out there, Platte River, Nebraska. Rolled at 2 p.m. from here and stepped out of the truck at legal shooting hours.
Like drove all the way through the night, got out of the truck. Everybody just kind of slept on the back seat. We just rotated around the truck. Everybody take turns driving. And we'd rotate around the truck. And Phil was so mad at ducks. Even then.
that we i mean there was a lot easier way to do what we did but it wasn't part of the journey right like it wasn't part of that ain't part of it i know and that it was just so wild for me to see because like you know you see the videos and you think you know and i'm just fresh working here like all the things and i'm like ain't no way man a lot of that stuff's edited you know
Yeah, which Babylon B is all satire. So like the name of the title, it made me laugh. Look at it. It made me giggle. That's good.
Oh, that is good. And amongst all the emotions we've had since the, since it all came out, when I stumbled across that one yesterday, man, I got plum tickled. I mean, I just, I just got plum. Cause he's talking about that a lot.
Run. R-U-N. Oh, man.
Well, I mean.
Yes, Joe. Well, he had that line.
You were.
Where would you rather be? The best ones, too.
Stay away from her. No, but the problem wasn't Kaye. Kay always had a posse. Oh, yeah. No, no, no, her. Her girls. The muffins.
The muffins. Yeah. Kay would, I mean, Phil would say, we'd be sitting there hunting. He said, call Miss Kay and see if any muffins have left yet. And I'm like, well, what does that matter? He said, well, if they ain't done crying, I ain't going back.
He was Butch.
Cattle. When women and cattle stampede. Yeah, that's right. When they stampede. He had a way with words, man. Yeah. You know, it's starting to warm up. It finally quit raining, so you know what's going to happen, man. Bugs! Here come the bugs. They're coming inside looking for a drink of water. You know how to stop it yourself. Just like that.
And he was a Sundance kid, right? Yeah. Really used a naked kid.

yeah when i took mine off the smoker yesterday they broke in half and i just started dying laughing man i just started dying like nope too tender you missed it on them boys too tender there's gonna be them little things man there's gonna be it's wild like just all the golly all the chaos that ensued around that man too it was uh There's so many lines, so many stories.
Like I sat there on my phone yesterday. I'm so thankful. Like the past five or six years when I would go duck hunting down there from time to time, I didn't hunt most of the time. I just sat there like, and just watched and listened. So I got to look, going back through my phone and listening to Phil Robertson blow a duck call. Right. Like, and,
I'll never get to hear that again until we get there. But like Phil just, he was different on a duck call than anybody else too. Like he is the only one that sounds like that with a duck call.
So like it just, and sitting there and watching the look in his eyes on the Vick, because the way he watched ducks when they work, like the way he would cut those eyes and all those things, man, there's just a lot of that. you're never going to replace it. So you got to do whatever you can do to make sure you get a chance to see that again. Right.
Like, and I don't know that there's going to be hunting in heaven. I hope there is. I think we'll be a mildly distracted when we first get there, but we got eternity. So eventually I think we'll get back to duck hunting. We'll get used to it. Eventually we'll get back to duck hunting. We got time to adapt. Yeah.
Well, we, we, I think, I mean, I don't think we're going to step up there and go get in a duck blind. I think there's a few things, a few other things we're going to do.
but i got tickled yesterday morning like even the day after he's he's gone from this earth and i wake up at daylight and it's just thundering and lightning and carrying on and i'm like boy they must be whacking them up there you know i mean like because it just fits right like just boom bow all the thunder and what's that noise dad
Yeah, bowling. I just looked at it as a good duck hunt on a cold front because I don't think the seasons matter as much up there. I think some of them rules and regs are gone. The old way is gone and the new is in.
Yeah, 12 million angry ducks. The only thing that would have been funnier is if it had Joe Olivares' picture there. Because if Joe made it, I bet he met him at the gate and said, how'd you do it? How'd you do it? How did you go that many years?
Yeah, you sure.
For our listeners' sake, who's Joe? Federal Game Warden. There it is. The North Louisiana Federal Game Warden.
And then in that regard, I'm going to give you the man. I'm going to give you one of these, the man who perfected the thumbs up, right? Because everything you've seen posted about Phil to this point, there was, uh, a lot of it was one quote, uh, which is awesome. I'm not going to honor what he said because I can't. Don't cry. Don't cry. That's out.
Back BC, that was a major part of it.
Via river, probably just under, well... Too far to move probably 20, probably between 20 and 25 miles. But by the time you get down the creek, cause you got to go from the creek.
And making a train.
At Spillway.
And we're still hunting on those cypress logs to this day. I remember the first time down there, first backwater I experienced with him. Watching that man move a floating duck blind was the most incredible. Well, I was going to say. That's the most incredible feat. This ain't something.
Well, the man would have two boats tied to it, but one man operating it. And I was in the boat. I said, what do you need me to do? He said, I need you in the middle for balance. And so I would just sit in the middle of the boat, and then he would run from – The boat to the log to the other boat to the back and forth and never misses. If I'd have tried to do that, I'd have been dead.
Like I'd have been swimming in 17 foot of water and feels just like a cat. Even, you know, he was twice my age and it was just the most incredible thing I have ever seen. Pulled off.
That didn't work out, did it?
You know what, speaking of that, being so tied to that river, I remember it was actually the flood that caused us to move into this building. We were working down there. We're sitting in the duck call room, building duck calls, doing all the things. The duck call room there, the little shed up beside it.
Yeah. Hey, we got a stone walking in. Hey, we're going to pop out. While Hunter's getting this set up, are you still rolling, Hunter? Look, I'm just going to let y'all know something at home. We would love to be able to do this episode without any ads or any interruptions, but this is still very much a business. There will probably be some ads in here. Life goes on, boys.
Phil come running in there and grabbed me and said, come go with me real quick. And I was like... Where in the world are we going? We're, we're pretty much on an island here at this point. Like, where are we going? Of course. Willie's the boss, right? Willie the boss, but Phil's the boss.
So whatever, whatever that equals you do, like, and so there I took off with Phil and we're walking towards the water and I'm like, what in the world? Will we go get in a boat and take off and we're going to capture a piece of styrofoam that he saw, he was sitting there in the kitchen cooking us lunch. That's what they did every day.
He looked out the window and saw the styrofoam getting ripped down the river by the current that broke out from somebody's dock or houseboat or something. And he was not going to let it go. Like, and so, and by the way, Y'all had any idea how much waterlogged styrofoam can weigh? That's why he got you.
Well, that's why he thought he got me, and I was like, Phil, we just got to tie this thing up, man. Like, we can't get this. I mean, it was as big as the boat. And I said, what are we going to do with this? He said, well, we're going to get it back, and we're going to cut it in half, and we're going to go shove it up under the end of that one duck blind that's got a little lift to it.
So, sure enough, we tied it. We're motoring back against the current. Get it up there with hacksaws and just saw the side. He was like, I think it's about this big. And he's just eyeballing stuff. And then, of course, when we take it over there, it fits perfect. Like, no, no. He wasn't a carpenter, and he'll tell you he's not a carpenter.
He knew the dimensions just off of his head. Like, yeah, that ought to be about right. But, I mean... That man, there's nothing go floating down that river that was of use that he saw that he didn't go get. I mean, he got so many hydraulic fluid buckets. That's where he even had a piece of equipment that took hydraulic fluid.
If it come floating down the river, son, he went and got that yellow bucket. And we sat on them for too many hours, which is one of the reasons our backs are all trash, because we sat on a four-gallon hydraulic fluid bucket.
Bill would say, hey, make hay while the sun's shining. So, you know, we still got to pay bills. We still got to pay things to do. So we're going to keep it as reduced as we can on ads. But just know there will probably be some. And for that, we don't apologize because this is a business and it is a platform. And we would love to have it without it.
You're putting a grand a year back in your pocket.
Yeah, I got to, that's why, again, that's why I got so many videos on my phone. Cause the last thing I was going to do was stand up. Like, Phil got to where standing up was optional. Duck hunt.
Yeah, because you ain't. No, I ain't hard-headed. Oh, man. I'm an Asian person. Get along with it. Do what I tell you. It always feels like bounce on out there. Bounce on out there moving plugs real quick. Bounce on out there. Bounce on out there. Roll them. Roll them. Roll them over this way. That way they end up right in front of me.
But just know you're probably still going to see it. So we're going to get everything set up for another microphone. And, yeah, we'll be right back after this. All right, we're back. Had to get some things rearranged because we're going to give everybody a chance to be in here today because that's just who Phil was. He meant something to each and every one of us.
Oh, man.
I mean, there's just so there's so many.
Well, they learned it from Tommy.
One, what? That was another man though. Hey, golly, man. You, you Robertson's a wild man. Y'all y'all are something y'all Tommy could not enjoy the hunt.
A lot of truth to that. Yeah. But you got that from being side by side with your brother. Because Phil rarely sat idle, no matter if we were duck hunting or what.
Paranoids.
Yeah, I heard that. That was the line I got.
Yeah. That was the line I got first time I went hunting down there. They're like, you sit there. So I went stand up. Well, I'm a big man. I went stand up, stuff started breaking. And all I heard from the other end of the bus, easy on my brush. Easy, easy. I'm like, I'm just standing up, man, but I'll sit back down. No problem.
Yeah, that's fine. I'll sit back down. I know you work your butt. I never appreciated how hard he worked on brushing and buzz until I was down there cutting brush with him in July. Because that's when I found out that if you cut willows in July, the leaves will stay on them a lot longer than if you cut them during September.
So Phil always had a pile of brush bigger than this room ready to go at any point.
Yeah.
It had a reason to do it. Let me tell you what's hard to do. Get fired up about brushing a duck blind when it's 97 degrees in July outside. But that's why he said, he said, we got to go with daylight. We got to go that way. We'll work till about. When it's real early and it's cool. We'll work till about nine o'clock. He said, and then we'll come back out at six.
So if that tells you we're going to work on that, then you're going to go build a duck call. I'm going to cook you lunch. Then I'm going to lay down and take a nap. You're going to go back and build a duck call. And then when you get done. You're going to meet me right here, and we're going to go back over there when the heat breaks. When the heat breaks. When the heat breaks.
It's only 94.
I used to laugh. No wonder Si takes so many naps. Well, he'd say, that heat's about to break. And I'd say, all right. But I was young, single. It didn't matter. Like, I didn't have nothing. I had nowhere to be other than whatever Phil Robertson needed me to be doing at the time. And so it was. Unbelievable.
And the funny thing is something different to each and every one of us. But still all the same because he shared a simple message.
man but again he got to do the fun part he did the cutting i did the tote so you know but i tell you what you learn how to stack brush right because if not you got your butt chewed and even in you learn how to tie them elastic ropes from 1972 that he still had uh and if you dare got a knot in it you would get your butt chewed again so he was a very particular man who had a way of doing things that
Over a boat paddle?
for 50 years 50 years of a 50 plus the same message 50 years same same message 50 years of the same message and sometimes with kindness sometimes with straight up bluntness sometimes because that's the only thing well i think that you would respond to that was right yeah I mean, that's who he was.
When's the last time you talked to W.E.?
Dropped off a package at W.E. 's house not long ago. Really? Working for FedEx or UPS, one of them. And he come in there and said, are you D.W.E. Phillips from West Monroe, Louisiana? And he was like, yeah. Why? He said, I had no idea who he was. And then he said, I was the other one.
Like, you know, like I was the one that Phil whooped his butt. And they were 16. Now they're 60. Yeah. Now they're all, now they all crowding 60. That's a, but man, he, the other, I got a good one one time from it. Not a falsely accused of sinking his boat. And me and Goblin both got it for that one.
Them Fat Boys. Honey bun eaters. He said, that's what happens.
No, he said, I'll tell you the exact quote because it's one I'll never forget. He said, yeah, them two Fat Boys over there. Like, we weren't right there. Me and Goblin were standing two feet from him. And he said, them Fat Boys over there sunk my boat. And I was like, Phil. Phil. You never had to worry. Phil, there's a lot of things in my life I've done. I'll give you that.
I did not launch your boat without a plug in it because I'd have sunk before I ever got to the boathouse. Like, at this point, I was 315. If that plug ain't in that boat, I'm going to be knee deep in water. I'm going to be knee deep in water before it even gets out of the back of it. And then come to find out, it was Jimmy Red's kids. They finally fessed up. You know what I didn't get? An apology.
You know what I didn't care about? An apology.
Because the problem is... Now I'm not going to have anybody else call me fat boy in a loving way. If they call me fat boy, they're going to mean it.
Well, he was just like your football coach, man. Like, he did all these things. It was all out of love. Wasn't none of it malicious. And you knew that from him. You knew that even if he called you an idiot, It was to make you better. It wasn't to be derogatory towards you.
That's what it was. They were training you. Here's what I'll say. I think with you, Si, they really meant it.
Yeah. And if you'd have said the right thing at the right time right then, he probably would have.
I mean, there's just, golly, there's, man, there's just too many, man. There's just. It's too many people. Yeah.
Oh, I guarantee you. Yeah. It's the, um, you know, one of the, you know, we always talk about social media and how beneficial it can be and how detrimental it can be. But, but after that, getting on there and seeing all the memories and all the people tagging you and stuff and the impact that, that that man had that his, you know, we like to call it a ripple, his ripple, uh,
Yeah. Yeah, we're not even to the ripple part of it yet. His won't be a ripple for another hundred years, right? Just because he was so bold and so upfront about the gospel.
Don't worry about the Hebrew. Don't worry about all this. Don't worry about this. Don't worry about that.
No, he didn't have to.
Very direct.
He started right there and shared the gospel. Very, very direct. I remember the first event I worked here. This is how far back. Me, Phil, Kay, and Godwin went to a sportsman's show in Natchez, Mississippi. Set us up a little old booth over there selling posters and duck calls and And all the things. But even then, that was my first time in public with Phil.
Phil sat at that table for eight hours a day. Right there, we were peddling duck calls, trying to make a living. And he sat right there, and he had that Bible by him. And if anybody dared walk up that he recognized needed it, That Bible went up. He wasn't worried about selling no duck call. I was there to do business, you know, but Phil was there to go fishing. He was a fisher of men.
He may have been a duck hunter, but he was a fisher of men. And if he looked up through them sunglasses and recognized, I think this person needs it. Guess what they got? They got a full-blown gospel sermon right there. And I don't care if that person just walked off and Phil recognized the person behind them. They heard what he was saying. Phil gave it right back.
He wasn't going to count on somebody being a hearsay. He was going to give them a direct account. And me and Kay and Goblin were over there just laughing. I mean, because that's who Phil was. I'll say this. At that time, Kay still had a perm, man. She had big perm going on. And I remember she was so funny. Because there was about three places Phil would eat.
on the road arby's good place subway against that and i mean that's just and he would eat a pizza so like every night k would just go to the little bank bag and hand me and god want some cash he said can you go get me and feel something to eat you know i mean it was just the wildest thing like it just and the thing of all the places we've been all the things we've done together and
yeah yeah phil would he would he would you could just see him i would see him in the line of people you know and this wasn't a big line at this time like we were just duck hunters like wouldn't the the benelli show had just started so like it wouldn't none of the none of the hoopla was there yet aside from the people that were like me that grew up watching phil like that was all that was there but you could see him just sitting at that deal as he's signing a poster signed duck call but he ain't looking because he knows how to spell his name he ain't worried about that
That's actually back when he wrote Phil Robertson, before he just went to Phil with an exclamation point. But he would be sitting there signing, and you could just see him surveying the line, like, who am I going to get? And, buddy, as soon as they take a step forward, boom, it'd come open, and here we go.
Hunter just said he did too.
But he did.
I'm glad you brought that up. As a matter of fact, here we go.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. You see that bird over there? Yeah, let me tell you about him. He doesn't worry about it.
Amen. The seasons of the year.
That's what Phil always used to give me, the seasons. He'd say, all right, we're in the rebirth. Come fall, he's like, we're headed to the cross. He said, here's the winner. We're in the death.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You ain't cut a feather. No, you don't.
Hey, Phillip, look, here's what I tell you. It's better being known for the guy that raised up and shot too early than the guy that took a dump and wiped your butt with a life jacket.
Yeah. Okay.
That's what I'm saying. You'd rather, you'd rather be the guy that shot too quick than that guy. Oh yeah. So, but what kind of man?
Yeah. I said the same thing. They said, you need to go up there. I said, mm-mm. Mm-mm. I'm going with my last memory of him being, of us talking. Yeah. Of us talking about ducks and all the things, right?
Oh, you better write that down. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
There you go.
Kept it pretty doggone simple.
He was brilliant.
And you know what happened when he spoke? People listened. They all shut up. Everybody shut up. Yeah.
Well, look. Yeah, but Si was his hype man. That's right.
One of my core memories of this life will always be every time Phil preached at Wisefairy Road or class, Cy was his hype man. Yep. Because Cy thought Phil was talking only to him. Like, Cy thought him and Phil were in the duck blind together. So, Cy, during the middle of the thing. Yep. Yep.
I mean, Cy would just, it was like him and Phil were the only two in the room. Well, now, hey. It was so good, man. It was so.
No, no.
Just one more time.
Batman and Robert for Jesus. Si, a heck of an audience when you need a crowd. Hold on. And hey, he'll take over your story before you know it. Oh man, I love it. Gosh dang it. I mean, at some point we got to wrap this episode up. This won't, one episode will never be enough.
Yeah. To capture what, what Phil Robertson meant to each and every one of us and to all of you listening out there, right? Like, uh, I would say this. If you have some field memories, you'd like to share, shoot them to us. Hello at duck commander.com. We'll, we'll, we'll, uh, hello at duck call room. Yeah. I'm sure we have hello at duck commander.com too.
And as Phil would say, if you do those two.
The other ones take care of themselves.
He said he wrapped it up. He said he went from 10 down to two. He said, you know why? Because those two cover the 10. He made it, again, so simple, so clean.
Amen. Thankful for mercy.
He's half animal, but he's fully restored.
Amen, buddy.
Amen, buddy.
Amen, buddy.
And we're going to go fishing. We're going to go do some things to get out of.
Yeah.
Amen.
I know, Phil, you told us not to cry, but things happen. Even Jesus wept when he lost his friend knowing he was coming back. We know Phil is restored. We lost our friend.
Man, he really got it, yeah. If you did know him, that is, wow, Si. Yeah. Well, that's who he was. Oh, I'm not disagreeing.
That's why I texted. I texted her last night. I tried to give it a little time. because I was trying to think of something impactful to say. And I just came back with three words. I love you. Like, for her.
For Dan the butler, for crying out loud.
I don't know how to help you. I decided to go with what Phil always wrapped up everything with, right? I only tell you this because I love you. Because I love you. Hey, I'm out. And then he would walk off. Whatever stage he was on. That's how he ended it. He ended it with two things. He ended it with a super clean representation of the gospel, and he ended it with, I love you.
Like, that's crazy, right? Because at the end of the day... all that matters those two things are the only ones that matter those two things everything else doesn't matter don't even make it ain't there it ain't there so you know what in a fitting way to wrap this one up we're gonna end it with a super clean representation of the gospel and johnny d's gonna try to read it first corinthians 15 3
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Duck Call Room. We're already getting started. Look, it's a day that we all knew was coming. Uh... and nothing could prepare you for it, but we're going to talk about the old man. We're going to talk about Phil. It's why I got sunglasses on. So while I'm wearing a black shirt, I decided to go full Phil, right? Oh, Phil.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure he had like COVID before it was cool or something.
He was certainly immune to a certain, he was certainly immune to certain odors. One being his own. Yeah. His own. That's right.
Oh,
Yeah. That's one of my favorite ones.
Yeah. He, uh, Yeah, I never saw him eat any locusts, but he would have. He would have. He would if he had to. He did like hunting.
Which, by the way... I mean, we've all bitten their heads, right? Just because Phil did it, you know? It was just the shock and all. By the way, that crap hurts.
Even just watching Phil growing up, like when you saw it the first time, then when you got to dispatch a cripple, you're like, I got to bite that thing's head.
Well, I know, but if you didn't do it, right.
I'm not doing that again.
Those are pretty.
There's a pretty good artery in there too that'll give you a shot of blood down the back of your throat.
I then figured out, you know what? You could just take your hands and push his head together and you'd accomplish the same. You didn't have to use your teeth.
It wasn't as impressive. It didn't look as good.
Yeah, it didn't look as good on camera either, you know. Oh, man. Man, I remember. The first time I ever met Phil, I got invited to his house church, of all things.
Yeah. I've seen a lot of those stories on Facebook. Yeah, I was working at TP or whatever and slid down there with old Curly. Curly, don't. Foster, and then I walked in. I didn't know what to expect. I knew of Phil because I lived here. I'm a duck hunter. Obviously, I watched everything he ever did growing up. but I still didn't know. Right.
And then you walk in and there he is in his recliner, you know, and then he's just like, Hey, sit down. And you're like, Oh, that's interesting. You know, then they went through house church and then he looked at me and he said, you got a minute. And I was like, Yep. Sure do. I got a minute. He said, well, come, come ride with me real quick. I need to go move some boards.
We just got to go to some two or three minutes. And I said, I said, well, okay. I don't mind, you know? And I said, but I ain't got no boots. He said, oh, you don't need them. And I was like, oh, it's cool. We're just going to go move some boy. You know, I knew enough about water control structures and everything. It's like, oh, we're just going to hop on top of a pipe.
He needs some help getting to a low. No, no. That was the, that was the first day I ever got introduced to the Elm hole via tennis shoe. Yeah. The lowest place on the whole property. So I ain't got them shoes no more. I never had them shoes after that day, but that's just who he was. And we jumped on that four wheeler, just a regulation four wheeler and took off.
And I was downwind to him the whole way. And man, it was tough. It was, I was like, is this guy really like, Man, really? I mean, it's Sunday. He should have taken a bath this morning before he went to church, right? No. But that's just who Phil was. But I remember even on the four-wheeler ride, we stopped at the gate, got back on the gate, and he's just sitting there.
Oh, I got a notification. There's a deer. Uh-oh.
Well, they can run up a tree too.
They just got a lot of skin.
Yeah. It probably was. Oh, yeah. I seen one on Deer Stand one day.
But it was deer colored. It wasn't black.
Drain us off.
That's what Grandpa used to say.
And Stevie Wonder would have got that call right, Ralph. And he's richer than Ben Goyne. Now, who's Ben Goyne?
Or it's one of them things they used to run you through with. Are we talking about like a turnpike? Why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
Two men hanging from a window. What do you call them?
Stories galore.
I'm very proud of that.
There you go, Gobble. I like George. I need to meet that fella.
What did he say?
Seven, six. Seven, six. Seven, six, one piece. Black and gold. It's got, it's real stiff backbone in it, but a real fast tip. So you can throw light baits or heavy baits.
Okay, now that's not gobbling. It would have to be more. But I can drink.
Yeah. Go and fish it.
He's about that long. Turtle ate him. I asked Si, I said, did you take a picture of that fish? He said, no, turtle ate him. Turtle ate him.
World record. The world record.
Moral record crappy.
Totally.
That's the ones in the river.
I put a tape measure. Three or four pounds, but 84 inches long.
That's a goggle eye.
Because he's got red eyes. Chicken pen, that's what Paula calls them.
The what?
Well, that's why his eyes was red.
Is that more than a gazillion? It's like two or three. It's like two or three gazillions.
They're pointed on both ends.
There was some guys went to Havasu this summer. No. They caught a five-pound chicken pen. Oh, yeah. I saw it.
Mm-hmm.
That's free.
I had an uncle named Emmett. Okay. Uncle Emmett.
Hey, back strap city, boys.
We're talking too fast.
Yeah, what's that? Proverbs, not Proverbs. Isaiah 50 or 51.
Because he was human in every way.
Better than I am.
All right, let's go.
That's crazy.
How do you not know Buddy? Run. Buddy. He would have been on the water too long. He ain't come in to check nothing. Buddy.
She broke up with the other guy.
That's a good. I feel weird.
So, hey. Jared Clark's told that one. Man, I don't watch this. You're educated beyond your comprehension.
Caney Lake right in the middle of my farm. There you go.
If I sent a man to raise from the dead, they wouldn't believe me.
If I pull your mic in.
That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
They're comfortable.
Or wader pants like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Opening morning was pretty awesome.
We sure did.
We sure did because he was slapping me in the side of the face with them empty holes.
Oh, you got to shoot it out of the shell. He shot three times every time he picked his weapon up. Oh, yeah, that's what it's there for. He said, you got any 20-gauge shells? I said, not in this bucket.
Peach. It's an odd shape.
There's lots of flavor in water.
I got tickled at that.
And you look at your coffee cup.
He stood out in the crowd, that's for sure.
Well, we painted him in Canada and got him in Canada.
And I hit the floor. I was on the ground just laughing.
And then we beat that team. And then we were the back-to-back-to-back.
Well, we had a secret weapon. He was fast.
No, she was not fast. That's the slowest human being I've ever seen.
I'm faster than Drew now, by the way. Are you? Beat him in a race.
They literally just said, we're not doing this league anymore because y'all are going to win it again. Yeah. And I was like. They disbanded the kickball. Well, we figured out the cheat code, right? I'm the Bill Belichick.
Except for that one girl, and I apologize to her again. Yeah, you de-cleated her. I feel bad about it. I was playing first base, and she was running, and we didn't even try. They didn't throw the ball to me, but she's looking at me, and I acted like I was going to catch it, and I acted like I was going to throw it at her, and she just dove out the way.
The ball's nowhere close. Yeah.
She goes, ah!
And then tumbles.
And then rocks and dirt are everywhere. And I'm like, oops. Yeah. She's bleeding.
And I'm like, oh no. I genuinely felt terrible. Yeah. And she gets, she's like rolling on the ground. She stops and looks at me and goes, why would you do that? And I was like, I feel awful. But we're playing to win. No, that was just a joke. She was on first base. I was just messing around, acting like I was going to throw a kick. And then I was like. It was a bluff.
I know.
I was single dadding it.
I mean... Our wives left us.
They're way better behaved.
They can't get away with everything.
He don't care if I whine.
I told you what I did. Side, you're never going to believe this. This was the worst. I have had a rough weekend. That's why I'm kind of frazzled today. Do you know what Carter's class did, the fourth grade? They said, what if we all do a survival night to teach the kids how to survive, and we'll bring all the tents and sleep in the hallway at the school? Fourth graders.
My wife made me chaperone. I did not sign up. I was signed up. And I thought there'd be like 50 dads there.
There were two of us.
I do like him. And to be fair, he actually is a junior high principal. So he's the guy. Okay. I'm just there.
At least we got this guy. And at 2.30 in the morning, When none of these little jokers had gone to bed, he's pacing the hall. He's just pacing with his hands behind his back. Like, I'm halfway asleep. And then this kid gets up to go to the bathroom and then doesn't go. He didn't go. Then 10 minutes later, he goes back to the bathroom. I said, no, you're not going back to the bathroom.
He goes, I got to go. I said, you can wet the bed for all I care. And then I realized, I said, I'm not supposed to be chaperoning children. I threatened the kid that I wanted him to wet the bed, but it would have been his fault. Because he should have gone when I told him to go. That's what I would have told Mikey.
Never chaperoned in fourth grade?
I didn't think about the fact that I might've had to clean that up.
No, I wouldn't.
I just left it to whoever's tent. It wasn't my tent. Somebody going to have just a pee-soaked tent. They weren't there to watch their tent. Martin, I ever tell you about the time that the cops showed up to my front door because I was having stuff delivered to my house?
But turns out it was just some kid having stuff delivered? Really? Because he stole a credit card from somebody else and had it delivered to my house so he wouldn't get caught?
USA-based.
Got all that deer steak. There is some deer steak somewhere in that. Yeah. And I would like to know if it was actually frozen or she just threw something away. Homegirl will throw some stuff away. Uh-oh.
What? That just happened.
Now it did.
It just happened again.
In that minute, 10 people's identity were stolen.
The other dad said he went to bed at 4.30. I fell asleep at 3. That's not going to bed. Yeah. That's just falling asleep. But then he had to coach a soccer game the next day that Lottie was in. I didn't even go.
Hey, bro. They do it in the fourth grade.
Yeah.
I got a fourth grader next year, too. Oh, I'm going to be back. But I'm more prepared this time. Oh, I wish I would have.
He's going to bring a water bottle. I'm going to bring a turtle box, and it's 6 o'clock in the morning when they won't get out of there.
They're going to have just the circle of life playing full blast in their tent. Go home. 5.45 in the morning. Didn't want to go to bed. How's it feel now? Yeah, how you like me now?
Allison sent me a picture this morning. She finally got to Carter's sleeping bag. Just had chips all in the bottom of it. Oh, of course. What were they doing? Camping out. Part of it. You were there. Good point. I wasn't paying attention to nothing. I had a door. My job was to make sure no kids got out that door. That one kid kept going to the bathroom, driving me crazy.
So he became my problem, too. That was my weekend. Still frazzled. Now my freezer's out. I got a lot to do today.
Now you just got yellow paste everywhere.
No, I didn't. I watched the first segment and I was like, that was really good. But no, what time is it?
I'm not angry.
Yeah, I got that picture 10 minutes ago.
No, it's all in trash bags that are too heavy to lift.
Yes.
It's just the stupidest thing he's ever been involved in.
I don't want it outside, though, because then by the time I get home, a dog will have it strewn across the whole yard.
You was a gate man.
Yeah. Amen to that. You ever seen a winch snap? Oh, no, no, no, no. Yeah. Pow. Windows busted.
That's the only thing I miss about that Gator Flame truck.
Yeah, it is.
I like when Si sees somebody endangering their life and he just says,
Did you see what I did when you said that? Wow. I stood behind Allison.
He said. Another day.
Also, next year on Camp Out Survivor Night, can you come tell the children about NOM? They had a couple speakers, and the whole time I was like, you know how much funnier this would be? How much more I'd enjoy myself? You would. I mean, both speakers did a great job, but I was like, Imagine Cy talking to 60 fourth graders at 1030 at night about Vietnam. Was this a co-ed camp out too?
Oh, even better.
I got a kid that'll invite you any day. That was the most fun out of that.
Yeah. Oh, no. He is under the impression you are his biological uncle.
Which is great.
Yeah. Uncle Sam. That was so funny. Oh, man. Allison's sending me the weather. She got just a freezer piled up in the kitchen. Now she's on to something.
I shouldn't have gotten that frustrated about that. Well, they asked about our pet peeves, and she probably talked about my socks or something. But my pet peeve about my wife is the way she treats trash. Because it's my problem. She won't break down a box, and she will fill a bag up and leave it there that she can't lift. And I can't lift. And Andre the Giant himself can't lift.
And she's like, oh, I just piled it in this bag. It's a trash bag. So I put all the trash in it. And I'm like, well, now what the heck are we supposed to do with it? Because there's so much trash in it. We're going to need a fork. Yeah, we can't move it. You're full of wisdom and knowledge and all the great things.
And a lot of other stuff. You know there's only two things in life that are certain? What's that? Death and taxes.
Well, good deal. Now there's a third. And I'll give you one you do want. If you're with Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile, you could be saving a fortune every month by switching to Pure Talk.

It brought me a lot of joy. I was just sitting out there looking at the pond. I was like, this is a nice neighborhood to look out and just Jep's dog's just crapping.
No, that box is just sitting on top of the trash can.
You saw the photo.
That's a woman thing. It drives me insane. I'm about to get bashed here. Why are women just so bad at throwing stuff away? They've tried to find the most difficult way to throw them.
But didn't they make it more difficult to throw away?
Are you messy?
You're going to put it on tomorrow.
All in one place. All in one place for it.
That's it. Where does it go?
That's why you got a counter to put stuff on.
Just doing what they do.
Yeah, I didn't watch the ladies. I watched part of it. I was like, hey, this is good. But then I heard they started crying, and I was like, I can't.
And you just got to clutter up everything.
And I'm cool with it. And you're like, you should have been around when Johnny D was here.
Why do they got to move stuff?
I know exactly where I put everything. It's what's wild.
Oh, you should see the closet in the closet. We got a closet in a closet that is a nightmare. Allison's wedding dress is in there, and you can barely even see it because there's pillows. Anything she's like, ah, she don't want to throw her stuff away. It's called hoarding. And she got one closet with all of her dirty little secrets in there. Pillows, just junk.
He's a hoarder. Allison throws so much stuff away. You know what Allison wanted for Christmas? A roll-off dumpster for a week. I said, no. I like my, I've worked hard for a lot of these things.
She's going to throw my stuff away. She come in my garage and say, it's gross in here. I said, it was nice till your daughter moved her gymnastic stuff in here with me.
Yeah, because she ain't going to be able to pick it up once she get it in a box.
Is that the guy from The Greatest Showman?
I text Alice and I said, well, my frustrations of this freezer debacle is at least got on the made a pretty good podcast. And she said, you're welcome, girl. No, let me text back. Bring it over here. We're just going to leave it at that. I'm not in trouble unless she watches this. But she literally said, you're going to be upset. She knew what she did. She's like, I can't lift these bags.
They know.
We do stuff same way. I know when I take my socks off, I'm like, I need to put those up, and I don't.
The socks? Yeah. You can find my socks in a lot of places in my house.
I guarantee if you go to my house right now, you can find some socks in our couch. Guaranteed. It's not the best thing I've ever done. I'm not proud of it, but it is true. Anyways. Hey, at least we're being honest here, right? We love each other. Spring is here.
Except my wife just sent me a picture of our freezer out, and then instead of just waiting and closing it, she just put it all in trash bags and just left it on the floor for me to deal with.
And I'm loud. But Allison doesn't think comedy's funny. She just doesn't get it. Yeah, she doesn't. She don't get it.
We look over and Hunter's just yawning. Apparently, we're the most boring people on earth.
Hey, throw your little weirdo... What's it called on? I actually like a lot of this.
The bracketless Hunter. I will say, Hunter's playlist while he's getting this is kind of a... There were a few bangers on there that I learned about.
Oh, five seconds? Seven, I think. Is it seven?
Seven seconds?
What you got, Hunter? Play the voicemail. See, this isn't that bad. Me and Hunter probably got along in high school. We would have been at that weird table that nobody else knew what they were doing.
To be fair, the ground next to them is a better place than with us.
Anyway, I have a voicemail. I'd actually like to play that game.
Charles. He's from Florida. Lake Providence. His name's Travis. It's the guy that sells all the golf clothes.
All right, Travis. Travis, I need... I need a video of someone chasing an alligator, a 10-foot alligator with a shovel.
I don't like alligators.
What y'all got against them lizards? The zoo did show up. It's a survivor night. It was like, hey, you want to hold a snake? All them kids were holding snakes. There was about 10 of them, including Carter, who come and stood by me. They were like, you don't have to. I was like, you're dang straight I don't have to. I'm a grown man. You ain't making me do nothing.
I said, and now I know which kids are smart in this class and which ones are dumb.
No. The ones that held the snake were with me and Carter. Carter was like, I ain't holding that thing. I said, you know what Si said you can do? You can grab it by its tail and pop its head. Because the guy was like, and he gave this whole speech about snakes and how to treat them in the wild. A lot of people are big on snakes. Yeah. And I was like, I told Carter, Carter was kind of nervous.
I said, you know what Si says about that speech?
Okay, to be fair. I ain't messing with no alligators. But as long as we're on land, I ain't afraid of a three-legged alligator. That thing can't move fast.
What? Okay, now we're at the end of this.
We would have got Carter's 14 and said, pow!
My bracket is not busted.
Hey, whatever you do, don't throw it away. Hebrews 10.35, so do not throw away your confidence, for it will be richly rewarded. If you learn anything from us, learn that God loves you, and you can have confidence in that. Don't throw it away. Don't play with snakes. There you go. Also, don't play with snakes.
I think he is. Because he's looking like... I mean, I understand you don't know basketball, but he said there's a tournament, and then he said the word bracket. Like, you've played enough Mario Kart tournaments to at least know what a bracket is.
I'm angry.
Yeah, because I've got things to do.
Are you telling me there's never been an anime bracket competition on the internet that you participated in?
This man's never seen a bracket.
Or just made a bracket and voted on something to win.
I'm like, what are you doing? But by the way, it's too heavy for her to pick up now because she filled the bags too much.
Hunter's frazzled. We need a committee.
I'm frazzled. Hunter's frazzled. Hunter sent me. Hunter tried to send me one song yesterday because he says I don't believe in bands because they don't exist anymore. When was the last time you saw a band? Yeah, I don't know. They don't exist anymore. New band. Name one. Not any. And Hunter's like.
Yeah, right, correct. Hunter says, proven you wrong, here's a band, but he accidentally sent me his entire playlist.
I got 48 hours of Hunter music going on right now. What was that like? It was like it wanted to be a band, but it was angry about something. That's not true. Yeah, it was like kind of screaming.
uh-huh that can be part of your workout plan uh-huh oh the the odor i'm upset i'm legitimately upset right now is that why you threw your phone yeah i i just because it's like just leave it if don't make it more difficult i'm sorry anyway what's your favorite coffee drink no time out i gotta know so is it like your inside freezer you got a deep freeze like what indoor freezer In the kitchen.
Then explain to me why I felt the way I felt after I listened to it.
I'm going to make a bracket of that music and nobody's winning. Yeah, so then he's like, I'm embarrassed. I was like, it's what you listen to. It's fine. I'm going to give it a chance. I knew a couple songs.
Oh, I'm proud of you.
Was there? Yeah. Catch on.
That's tight.
Nothing starts a good fight like church league basketball or softball.
I think every fight I've ever been in was a church sport. Was a church sport. Yeah.
I don't know, but all the food's gone. And there's trash bags on the floor. That's what I know.
I was just about to bring that up. Gimber got into it. This dude was being a tool. And I don't know if the people know, there was a kickball league. It only lasted for three years. And there was this one team called Duck Commander, led by a certain young man sitting next to the side twice a week, a.k.a. me. And we were the back-to-back-to-back team. Washtenaw Parish kickball champs.
It's a great question.
But it got heated every once in a while because people didn't know the rules. I still have those trophies and stuff. Anyway, Gimber absolutely about hurt somebody one night, and it was the funniest. And I don't know if y'all know this about me. I might be able to, like, amp emotions up and then just start laughing about it because I don't need to fight, really.
That's like the blue cyclone.
I got the people angry, and then they started yelling at us, and I'm just laughing about it because I'm like, we're going to beat y'all, and it's kickball, so I don't really care. But then they made Gimber mad, so Gimber walked out on the field, and Angela told him to stop.
There's a lot to try and learn right now that I'm just being, it's all being dumped on me and the floor, but it's too heavy for anybody else to pick up. She may have went in for a late night snack. Oh, it is spring break. Oh, he already had no break. Oh yeah. I was sent this photo. Oh, Unfortunately, I also left my laptop. I'm frazzled today, everyone.
i told him to stop and then it just and then the next words it was it was one of the funniest statements i've ever heard in my life and i when i tell you it got real quiet except for me laughing it was let's just say angela yelled at gember that his kids were there and watching because gember was kind of he wasn't acting right she said gember your kids are watching he said yeah they're fixing to watch me kick somebody's butt i

I would, I think.
Oh.
Amen.
Oh, God.
He ain't that far. He ain't that far.
Duck commanders.
That's why I get so sad when people tell me I can't see God that you're always talking about. Okay, because like you said, hey, he's watching you, okay? 724, 365 for your whole life. He's watching you and wanting you to come to him, okay, and he'll help you. He'll even give you little signs that says, hey, look up. Open your eyes. Look up.
Oh, yeah.
That's why I just, I don't get it. Okay? Because he wants first class for you all the way. But you've got to look for him.
And you've got to know, hey, you can't do it by yourself.
It's in this podcast room. Here's the deal. I have a plan. It isn't written down, but I fixed to put that young lady. Her uncle wants a couple of questions answered.
There's times when you haven't got nothing to pay for it, so you don't buy gas. The reason is I ain't got money to get the gas. I just don't like waiting.
So, hey, welcome to This Is Your Life, Sadie. Okay, because I want to know from childhood... Okay, till right now. Okay. I'm so nervous for you. I want to know first, how did you get here? Who are you? Because that's the first question. Who is really Sadie Robertson Puff?
Well, it's the deal about a first ornament I used to tell me. When a problem is small, take care of it. Because if you keep putting it off... Guess what it's doing on you? It's growing. Yeah. It's getting bigger. It gets bigger. And then it gets, then it just, it's overwhelming then. It just got so large, I can't have it. I can't take care of it. Well, you dummy. You seen it coming. Dummy.
Yo, why didn't you take care of it when it was a little bitty problem? All you got to do is put it in the gas and put it in there. Pump it up.
I didn't know that. I'll take you around this mess today.
You change people's lives by what you tell them. Amen, buddy. Okay, because not only do you yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, you actually walk the walk, too. She's not just yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, and no, no, because, hey, trust me, I've been around all you get in his mouth. Oh, okay. Other people. There ain't no walk behind it. Okay? So, hey, I'm talking about this is truth, okay?
Because, hey, if you're going to run your mouth, then, hey, walk the walk behind it. Okay? Because if you just run your mouth, that's all you're doing. You're gone. You're an irritating noise.
Yo, and that's biblical. Thank you. I don't know the verse that's in there. I'm finding it. You impact a lot of people, and they look up to you because that's when the show was going on. Movie people were always trying to get us to say stuff in a derogatory manner. Right. Well, I was tired. We was filming seven days a week. I was tired.
So I finally just gave in and said something I knew I shouldn't have said. And as soon as I did it, you know, we're over. We're through filming. I go home. It's Sunday. It's Saturday. I go to church Sunday. And Al's preaching. And Al, every time he said something, he was... Yo, that's the way I felt. He was pointing at me. You know you shouldn't have done that. You knew it was evil, yo.
So, hey, I had filming after church. So I walked in and screamed, where's the director? Yo. Wow. And everybody said, what's wrong? And I said, hey, y'all just kept on yesterday and made me say something that I shouldn't have said because, hey, there's a lot of people watching me on TV and mainly a lot of them are kids and they look up to me.
And I said, hey, if this hits the air, hey, Duck Dynasty's over because guess what? I'm gone. Thank you. So the director finally shows up. Hey, settle down, settle down, y'all. He said, what's the big deal here? And I said, hey, you know what the big deal is? I said, y'all are always trying to get us to say something, y'all. against what we really stand for. And I said, you did it yesterday.
And he said, well, wait a minute. It ain't no problem. I said, oh, yeah, it is a problem. I said, because I said it, and then I feel like a bum because I did say it. And then I go to church, and Al jumps over me with both feet telling me, you dummy, why did you say that? And I said, not only that, he's looking, and he's dissatisfied with me. He'll forgive me, but he's dissatisfied with what I did.
And I said, hey. So I said, he said, look, I gave him my word. I said, well, hey. I said, I'm not just running my mouth here. I said, if that hits the TV and I hear about it, guess what? I'm gone and I won't be back.
I was about to say, are we positive it didn't happen? So that's why I'm saying, hey, it's okay to run your mouth, okay? But hey, if people look up to you and respect you and are following your lead, well then you've got to also walk the walk.
No, no. I just knew it was bad.
But I'm just saying it was you. Cause no, no, I'll give you an example. Her mother. They done a film and they was filming her for the day. Well, hey, they bleep, bleep, bleep like she said a bad word. Oh, that was episode one. Yeah, that was the first. That was numero uno.
And that's when Phil went off and gave the prayer that told him, hey, before you burn them, Lord, give them a chance to repent. He did do that. He did do it, but I'm just saying.
We just started. They messed up. Okay.
Oh, no, no. It was just, y'all, but I'm just, all right, back to what we were talking about.
They told me like a week before this happened. You've got to guess. Usually I'll walk in here and sit down, and if somebody's in that chair, I go, I don't think I've ever seen that person.
They gave me a heads up. Let's not give them a heads up. That's the last thing you want to do with me.
Who are you?
How are you getting on what I'm talking about? Amen. Everybody, okay, in this world, at one time or another is gonna ask, who am I? Okay, and what do I stand for, for crying out loud? What, you know, am I worthless or do I have worth? And the best part is, even Jesus says, who do you say I am?
Well, that's why when you ask that, okay, if you're a child of the Almighty, you're a child of I Am. Wait a minute. You're talking about the one that created all this. You're talking about the one that sees all, knows all, is all powerful, and you belong to him? It's like the Bible says, if you're with me, who do I care who's against me? It's good stuff.
He's the daughter of the almighty.
That's good.
That's why I say, okay.
I stopped in a restaurant when we went to Houston just to get something to eat. Just a mom-and-pop little chop that served food. So I stopped in, and the lady about your age said, well, what advice can you leave me before you leave? And I said, well, here's the deal. I said, do you have a relationship with a creator? You kind of looked at me and said, no, I'm struggling with some stuff.
And I said, well, hey, if you don't have a relationship, we'll start one today. I said, and then guess what? Then turn to him and say, Lord, I'm struggling with this anger management anxieties. And I said, and he'll help you do it.
He already knows. He knows me better than I know myself.
All he wants to do is, hey, open your eyes and look up. Here's the thing. Okay. This book, you need to get it. Okay. Because, hey, guess what? You'll find all the treasures just in here. You put a bunch of them in this. Amen. But I do want to ask you. It's based. This is based on that. That's true. Amen.
You can have it all, and hey, when you got it, Solomon had it all. You know what he said? It's garbage.
That's why I brought up the great cloud of witnesses.
No, no, because I remember when it hit, and I actually got it. It was well, bad off, but I wasn't worried about it. Everybody else was, whoa, it was me. What are we going to do?
Well, no, no. Well, hey, look, I was out of my head. I was sicker than I thought.
Hebrews 12, okay, talks about, okay, I'm going to bring this into this, and it will get us to this here. I can't wait. Okay. Hebrews 12 says, maybe I can remember what it is. We're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. Did you grow up with a great cloud of witnesses?
If you're, you know, I've had them, okay? When you can't get enough air in your lungs, and you think you're fixed to just run out of air, oh, yeah, you have an anxiety attack.
You're shaking and you don't even realize why you're shaking.
Yeah. If you've never been hurt and then had to turn around and forgive somebody.
Yeah.
And it's always, I hear this, well, I'll forgive you, but I ain't going to forget it. Well, hold it, dude. If you ain't going to forget it, you didn't forgive me. If you're going to bring it back up two months later, okay, and that's one thing that mays,
no no and they do it all the time stop it yeah oh boy are we a marriage podcast oh well i'm just saying marriage people run into problems in the den and it's to deal with that sometimes you're married to people that run out of gas in the church parking lot it's embarrassing i mean good night i know pray for christian could you imagine i like that sadie sadie said i could have blamed it on him no i
Well, Sadie Robinson-Huff, thank you very much for coming on the podcast.
Okay. We're out of here, huh? I thank you for all the answers that you gave us. Mm-hmm.
Because he's the one that made you okay, who you are, saying, okay, don't say you don't need a nickname. You're an original.
Guess who stepped up? It wasn't Sadie stepped up that day with what you said. The Holy Spirit used you to say that. Okay, and then it led to you to write a book on it. The next step.
Pleasure as always. Hey, here's the deal about today's podcast. Whoa, was that good? Yes, it was.
I'm kidding, baby. It was great.
Well, that's something to live up to, and you've done that well, darling.
Oh, no.
Well, no, no, because that's why I want to say, okay, who are you? Okay. I mean, the lady's been on television. She's been on Dancing with the Stars. Okay. She's actually a... fantastic. Okay. Role model. Okay. For young women. Amen.
No, no, no. I'm just saying, but that's saying something. Okay. In the book. Okay. Week one.
She's the best selling author.
Do you need this?
It's true.
Yeah, that's why I said about the witnesses.
It's like a fat haul. You definitely took the wrong journey. Yeah.
Here's the deal, okay? From childhood to adulthood, okay? And I love the way you said, well, when I was five, I didn't know who I was. I was 65, and I still didn't know who I was. But anyway, you know, you are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, okay? Your dad, mom, your siblings, okay?
Then when you start school, your friends get involved, their witnesses, then your teachers, your coaches, okay? Everybody you run into life, okay, is a witness to who you are and are partakers of making you who you are.
It goes both ways.
Some of them bring real good things to the table, and then you have those that bring bad things to the table. And that's where you grow up and find out, okay, wait a minute. Now, that ain't really me.
Throw that trash away.
I always get, I got this big... a plan okay because in the law enforcement okay our law enforcement eyewitnesses are no good okay because you get 10 people okay what did you see and there's 10 different stories okay okay well here's what i'm going to tell you about one witness that you can count on
And the witness I'm talking about is, okay, is the one that when Moses said, Lord, who do I say sent me? He said, you tell them I am sent you. Well, hey, look, you don't know it, but it ain't a camera on you. Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. But hey, the all-knowing, all-powerful, all-seeing God said, Oh, he's witnessing everything you're doing.
Whether it be in daylight, dark, it don't make any difference. He's watching you. Okay? So, hey, there is a witness to what you're doing. Now, you might want to think about that the next time you do something wrong. Word. Because, hey, you are being watched. Okay? She said. Word. But back to you. Okay. Back to you.
Yep. She's got Clove Awards. Hey, I want a little bit of that to rub off on our podcast. Yeah, I know.
I ain't into awards. We're in there having fun.
Oh, I wish I had one. I wish I had a pet one.
See, they had a big debate about this. You've got to be up here where you're looking over his horns.
That way, hey, you'd see everything.
Yeah, if he sat on him like a horse, all you'd be seeing is his neck. Yeah. Very large neck.
All right, we're going to quick crank this thing off.
Well, no, no. And look, your Uncle Si, your Uncle Si to the world. amen that's right so all right come on i take that yeah i take that with great pride okay you really should that's pretty awesome he is uncle son of the world back to you okay we're still having you hadn't told me enough about you okay well your question was so loaded i didn't know all of it we're
Yeah, you had to go better than, well, I'm an original, and that's all you did. That was the best answer anyone could have possibly given.
Well, look, I've watched all kinds of TV stars and all that, and that's what they do. They say, no, I want to know, really, deep down, who are you? Well, it throws everybody off. Wait a minute. What do you mean, who am I? I'm me. He's Uncle Si. I'm me. Like, if you asked me that, I'd say, hey, what you see is what you get.
Well, I know. That's why I keep going back to her and saying, hey, now, hold it, hold it, darling. Tell me about Sadie. Who are you and how did you get here? What did it take? I want you to tell the fans. She drove her minivan. I want you to tell your fans how you pulled this off.
How did this happen?

I got this. All right. Hey, welcome to the podcast, everybody. And look, I'm telling you, this is going to be the greatest podcast ever in the Duck Call Room. That's it. Because y'all know, okay, we're improv. Nothing is written down. We have nothing planned. Okay, but that changed today because of not just a guest, because we got the guest. We got Miss Sadie Robertson Huff here in the radio.

There was Cade. So I hope y'all enjoyed Cade. We got Goblin back in here. We're going to jump in. The voicemail box, I suppose, 318-215-6559 is the number, or we can still be reached the old-fashioned way.
Who wants to go first, Hunter or Johnny D? Hunter. Hit it, Hunter.
That was pretty funny. I was getting ready to solve a criminal minds case there for a little bit, though, man.
Oh, boy. Boy, they've made documentaries about these kind of phone calls. Like, man, I've been watching too much Netflix here lately. Woo!
There you go. And you're just left with even.
Yeah, I'm telling you. He's going to look up. He's going to be the next Gerald Swindle. Oh, Lord have mercy. I'll be needing a safe word. All right, Hunter, what else you got?
Yeah, that's what I had.

No, I mean, we do.
All right. Go ahead, Hunter.
Virginia.

Is that what you do?
Huh. What was your handle? Gray Ghost. Gray Ghost. Gray Ghost of Calamity. Jane, did y'all ever have like marriage discussions on there?
If the heel hits the ground on a jump rope, you done got caught.
You got Hunter on that one.
See? That's that information you didn't know you needed, wasn't it, Hunter? Look at there. Look at there, buddy.
I can only imagine how hard Goblin was to understand with static. On a CB?
talk over people people be talking you just key down start talking you couldn't hear them no more they talk there's a whole world out there just talking to each other over the radio when you wanted to they talked when they could okay interesting uh yeah about that bible how about that are we done yeah let's let's let's wrap it up huh i thought we had one more oh well we can you want to do one more go ahead fire away
Martin trying to get on the road. Yeah, I got to leave, man.
Well, God will get back to work. I know. That's all. All right, we'll see you all next time. I'm about to hit the road to Nashville.
Especially when you put a timer on it. You put a timer? Anybody thinks they can jump rope until you put a timer on it.
Oh, they put weights on their things now?
Yeah, you trip on that thing.
Five-pound jump rope. That's interesting.
Listen to music and hop.
I mean, he missed.
missed a couple of weeks there with the only in the hospital the hospital is the only thing that has kept the man away yeah except for now we're keeping him away because he's so busy filming duck dynasty stuff um trying to film this and we still got the noisemaker though uh and doing all the things we thought the old man needed a break so uh yeah we got a cool show for you today we got goblin then
Yeah. Social media ain't hard.
Yeah. Well, and in typical fashion, like yesterday, production crew is about 30 minutes behind. Right. I mean, some things never change about TV. So it gave me 30 minutes. I just scrolled through my pictures on my phone. I was just like, man, let me look back through this stuff. And I got to that one I posted last night of rodeo clown size.
And it took me right back to that day, gobbling on that mechanical bull and that stupid steer dragging me across that rodeo arena like I wasn't even there. Yeah, don't let them steer wrestlers fool you. Them suckers are strong at throwing them things around, buddy. Because I was still kind of strong back then, but he drug me around like it wasn't about business.
Oh, yeah. I said, I put my feet in the dirt. He going to stop. No, all I did was look like I had skis on.
Yeah. Yeah. I put them breaks out, but you forget about that kind of stuff. Cause like that, that day of the rodeo film, it feels like it was a lifetime ago. Like, I mean, I don't even know how long it's been. I didn't look at the date on the picture.
Yeah, I mean, it's got to be Tim, but it's probably longer than that. I mean, Cy was only missing one tooth. It was one tooth ago for Cy.
The battle vision and then you, I mean, no offense, you had kind of a chunky face there for a little while too. You had that owl disease going on. I hid it behind this beard. Where all your weight was in your face. But you don't know it until she posts those and then you look at them side by side. I look way different. Yeah, it's a much different look. A cleaner look, mind you.
Man, that's awesome.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Strong back. Yeah, me and Bonebreaker's one of the drug-sized deer.
For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.
They didn't stop at just creating the pillow. They've made the best bed sheets ever, too, man.
And I don't know what to tell you. I mean, the sheets, they look, they feel great, all the things, which means an even better night's sleep for all of us, which is crucial for a man like Cy.

I wouldn't want it to happen to me.
Y'all have that problem with them white birds. No, they can't get you. But them bass, I was about a three pounder, did that just pop. I said, oh no. Need to hold them up a little higher. I said. Well, you can't hold nothing when your hands is wet. It was raining and I was throwing a spinner bait. I was just trying to grab a hold of anything I could. Like, yeah, but he got me.
That was, and I let him lay on that floor for a little bit and let him think about what he just done.
Yeah.
Well, that's why they get the sides knocked off of them too.
Where'd he go?
Yeah.
Oh, man, Stone had it in his face too. I guess we all did.
Yeah. No, he's – yeah, Goblin, yeah. He's been out there. So Goblin met him even before he got here. Goblin, he did you proud. He wasn't here but about a week before, he went out there and got stuck in your ruts behind the warehouse. Same ruts. Same set of ruts. They flew back up.
Two bags of corn. That's a hondo.
Yeah. I'm still down a full bag, plus a little.
Yeah. All between us. Yeah. Ain't no telling what I'd do if I tried.

Ah, there you go. Hey, he's been fishing. You know why?
He's been talking to himself.
How is GoblinGuys.com? You staying busy? Yeah. There you go.
Sometimes you don't take it and you end up being there for six years.
It's just you. Yeah, it sucks, man. Because that means we're getting older and things have changed. I like to remember y'all like four fighting each other. Yeah. Bobby was taking the snacks and all Bella wanted was a Dr. Pepper. I mean, I miss those days. I know. I do too. Oh, shoot. But anyway, the story, beatboxing.
Ain't no way you got a buddy still in school.
50?
Bob, are you ever going to go back? I don't know. I don't know.
Oh, hey, I tried it.
To go back?
ULM just asked you to pour your beer out. Hey, don't get all lazy, dude.
$400.
Now they're blue jeans, son. This ain't for Americans. Nobody in America calls them a trouser.
I was thinking more European. If they would put ice in their drinks, they wouldn't have this problem.
Wait, is that a pee joke?
You're talking about Spain and France. He went to an American Baptist college. They didn't worry about Europe.
Well, they're half accepted.

I found some machine for 1895. What are you watching to see a thing about one-legged britches?
It's all about freedom, JD. Do you wear a shirt with one sleeve on the other arm to match?
Even though England is in Europe, it's like west. It's out there by itself. It's west. It's out there by itself. Great Britain. Western Europe. In the words of Ted Lasso, how many countries are in this country? Same as many cities as in what's it called? Dallas-Fort Worth. Yeah. Yeah, they only say DFW, but you go over and there's 19 cities over there. Oh, yeah.
And the crazy thing is he said he's 40 minutes north of Dallas. That ain't but three miles.
Yeah. Even better. You can pay $440 for half a pair of them.
There you go, Johnny D. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, we're old, man. That's fine. That's cool.
Well, Duck Dynasty's coming, baby. The reverie, if you will, by the time you get to France, right?
Bobby's in his prime, and we're old. It's fine.
Them fries are good, though. It's one of the reasons we're able to have Bobby on is because we are back filming Duck Dynasty. So now he's got a reason to come back and see us. Bobby, he get over in Dallas. He ain't coming home. I noticed that.
Okay. Reach on. That's good. What do you want to say about the rest of your kids that live in their yard?
Now I got uncomfortable.
Yeah. It's gone now. I really feel like I wasted that. I'm just kidding. I really feel like I didn't thrive.
They still got a little piece over there between, you know, John Davis' dad's house.
Oh, yeah. Boy, I think you should move a double by idea. Just see what they do.
You could tie it into Al's.
Oh, yeah, they're in McKinney. We're in McKinney.
Yeah, there you go. I only know of the one. Well, there's that one in Terrell, but then you got one in Louisville. You got one right there. Well, we're about to get one in Ruston next year. Allegedly. Allegedly.
You are.
That's right.
It's a big state. Oh, yeah. It's great. If it all goes to pot, I'm going west. Yeah.
No, I'm going to Texas. I'm riding to Texas. I'm heading west, baby. Yeah, heck yeah. I think everybody will come over. So when you come in for holidays, where do you stay? Who do you stay with?
Well, this sucks.
Well, and you know that anywhere on that property, talking about the Robertson compound, it's death row for an animal.
Yeah, no problem. I pretty much just ate my 20s away. I mean, I was just eating.
All the way over. It's right there. Best dog you ever had was Dingo, and you know it.
Yeah.
Max. Maxie. Yeah, Maxie I got by Corey.
That's a problem.
Yeah. I think we're out of the mini chihuahua business over there. The mini long-haired chihuahuas. That one didn't have a good shelf life there.
What?

People that listen to us may not know the full adopted Bobby. Oh, man. You know, I'm just saying like the quick version of it. Oh, yeah. Because there's some people that are new. They're... There's some people that literally are brand new because of the duck dynasty fast channels. And like, they're finding all the stuff that we do now.
So some people may not know your full deal and like just how close in age you and Bella actually are. Oh yeah. The timing of the timing of God that worked there and all the things. So if you want to, Maybe you want to. Oh, yeah. Obviously adopted. You made the joke earlier. We can't. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The literal black sheep of the family. Yeah, he said literal. There we go.
Yeah, we could have went with figurative, but he can drop literal. Indeed. But no, yeah, if you want to tell our listeners that, knock yourself out, man. We'd love to let you share that.
Um, so now you have a relationship with your bio.
That's way cooler than a 23andMe connection.
Which one? Y'all pick which one. Y'all pick the one.
If you didn't know, we do a lot of marriage counseling in here too, Bob. So we can help you all out.
It's neat, man. I mean, that's when you just use those three words, man. Look at God.
Unbelievable.
Absolutely. Oh, yeah. You could have been anywhere with anybody. I know.
That was the first time. That was the first time I met her. Cause she come walking through and Corey stopped and introduced her as your, your biological mother. And I was like, Whoa. Wow. Okay, cool.
Oh, she was slumming with us public school.
What do you think of your brother-in-laws? Why are you laughing? Because you know I've asked him all this. This is my favorite question to ask him.
I'll be 10 this year. And I felt her eyes whenever you said that. And then I looked over there to confirm that she had them eyes at you. So I just, no, no, I was, you know, proceed with caution presentations, everything that delivery might've been wrong.
I mean, it's been two years, but it feels like forever. I mean. No, it's great. I really enjoy it. Marriage is fun, man. It's a lot of work. You don't have to sugarcoat that. We all know it. No, man. I always say it's proof God's got a sense of humor. He takes two critters that couldn't be any more opposite from one another, a male and a female.
There we go. Okay, pro fan. I like that.
Oh, man. What's the thing?
Yeah, and I've been told I'm extremely messy, which that checks out.
We can go revisit the England-Europe debacle.
No, but that's male and female, man.
What I was getting at, J.D., is men have the ability to compartmentalize things a lot easier than women do. That's not a flaw on either of our sides. That's biological. Men have a way to put stuff in little boxes and not even consider them. Right. While the women kind of put it all together in one huge puzzle, we've taken and put the pieces back over here in the corner.
Don't worry about them corner pieces. We'll get to them later.
I'm not going to disagree. I'm not disagreeing. I am. Huh? I am. What? You're disagreeing? You just said it.
Or we could have a couple pieces of pizza. We could watch. We've been on Love on the Spectrum because the new season's out. Wow. We haven't watched that.
Y'all were being too hard on me. Look at what y'all did to me. Y'all shut me off.
Y'all are cute. Well, don't tell all your tricks here.
He can make those jokes. We can't. We can't make those jokes in 2025, but he can.
Can they bring that scanner here?
So who is your brain most like? Did I say that?
Mayo?
That checks out. That tracks. I would say that.
Where do you go?
Verdansk.
We ain't ever sat like that.
Yeah, he ain't there.
He's somewhere else.
J.D., you want to send us out of here? You got us a verse?
And there's going to be a reunion story even cooler than Bobby's one day. Come on.
bobby thank you that was fun thank you for coming bob you're welcome hey you heard it from the man you're welcome you're welcome back and especially if your brother comes i'll be great you're both welcome okay yeah be your other brother we know the rest of them we don't want them all right we'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room we're out
Oh, yeah. You work with a Jenkins.
Well, that fits. You work with the kids. She works with adults. That tracks. It tracks.
Yeah, there you go. Look at Bob, man, all grown up. Look at grown-up Bob.
Pretty quick. What was the rumor, though? We don't need to go down that road. I was just wondering who stepped out on who.
Which, has there been a study done on that? Because you ever notice kids that are adopted end up favoring their adoptive parents anyway? Yes, very weird. You take on their facial expressions and like... Oh, yeah.
It's just like... Boy, now you're working with kids. You're following his path.
You graduated college a lot quicker.
He was the original Xander. I'm back to Phil. He was the original Xander. I am the original Xander. Then Rebecca had to swipe in and steal it.
Yeah, I'm out.
Yeah, there we go.

Bobby, you good? You want to beatbox us in there?
It had to be me. But welcome, Bobby. Or Will.
I don't know where that was going.
I wish we could find a hundred question test and just have Cy fill out the answers just like that and just see what we come up with. Like this.
I wouldn't go far away from C. How far are you going? Every once in a while.
Well, that's what's weird because now Bella works here and I'm the only person in this place that calls her Susan, which really annoys me.
You know what I was always a sucker for on MTS? What? All of the above or none of the above. Well, I was a sucker for none of those. I love those. Yeah, I'd be like, yeah, that don't sound right.
My GPA is pretty solid, though.
But mine wasn't no blind guess.
And most of the time, work for yourself, too.
Yeah.
Do we know?
Nobody knows? I didn't know. There's a lot of questions.
This ain't the time of year for lightning, so that's why I was curious. I don't know. I ain't looked into a lot of it because mainly when I get home, I got a sick kid that I deal with until it's time for him to go to bed and then I go to bed.
I've been sleeping fine. I just ain't getting much of it. Yeah. Hey, that's duck season, man. When you're in this grind of it, we got like 20 more days or so, something like that. So it's just, this is the worst part. This is the worst one.
Yeah. This is the, this is when it goes from hunting to work. Like right now, this is, this is when you, you find out what you're made of.
Oh, really? Yeah. Whoops.
And it's generally fun work until you go through a stretch for about seven, eight days where you ain't killing nothing. And then you're having life choice questions.
Yeah. I don't embrace the suck, though.
And you better embrace it or you're going to quit. That's what Bonebreaker said this morning. He said, you just got to welcome the pain. Welcome the pain. That's easy to say for a man who's got arms the size of my thighs, you know.
You know who I miss on the weather? You remember growing up, Freddie? Freddie, the weather guy? Little cartoon. Yeah. Him and our friend Neil Shaw. That was like my memories of the weather. I remember Freddie. It's because staying with my grandparents all the time, you watched every news like 6 a.m. Then in this small town, guess what?
Did he lose 60 for 60? Yeah, we have a question. He ain't done. He didn't make it.
Oh, okay.
Have you ever ate something from somebody and said, man, that's good? Yeah.
Yeah. I just didn't know. We went to one of the finest hunting lodges you ever been to a week ago, and Si just looked at him and said, no.
Si said, I ain't a redfish. He said, I ain't no redfish.
No, pretty don't cut it, okay? It's got to have a good flavor to it. Then we brought the man a muffin for breakfast. He said, not a muffin, man. No.
What's the last thing you ate somebody else cooked you like? I'm just curious. I'm just curious when it was.
Not a redfish, man.
He's got to have the master mason.
No bony fingers.
I told him the other day. I've been trying to remember that song since you said it before we started recording. And it's work your fingers to the bone.
We got another one at noon because something may have happened. Nothing ever happened the same when you watched that morning. And then he got to 5 o'clock, and then he got to 6 o'clock. Because something was really going to take place in that 27 minutes.
Yeah, that's what it was. I've been sitting here. It's been wrecking my brain. Willie's Roadhouse?
I don't got that. No, I told him when we had the guys of Willie's, you know, people that...
Feed it, grow it, clean it, kill it, chop it off.
Is it really?
Oh, man.
Yeah.
I cut many of them out for my grandparents. That was my job at the station, cut the rib cages. I bet that was a good memory.
A wintry mix? Yeah, this whole town is going to shut down.
My favorite ones is when we'd kill them in like December and Phil would make you pick them. Oh, no, no. And then he'd cook them whole. Oh, no. I know that sounds ridiculous for a lot of people, picking them whole.
But man, them things were good.
Yeah.
Sear them hard and then make a gravy and throw them in the oven. Oh, yeah. Hey, tender. Do you cook any rice and gravy with your deer steak? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I figured you were.
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely. I said, okay.
You can't have fried deer steak without rice and gravy. No, no. That's just. You ain't a rice guy?
You don't eat rice.
Oh, good. They're going to blast you in the comments for that. Last thing I'm going to do is spend money on teeth, okay? Johnny D can make that joke because he can take a few hits.
All four of them ain't real. Yeah. Johnny D can make that joke. He can pop his out.
But I've seen you without it.
Ty, are you going to go play in the snow? I mean, I know you love the cold.
Yeah, we killed a few today.
Oh, okay.
Yours was more of a stream rather than a drip.
I'll just get out. Get out of my way, boy.
Oh, man.
Oh, yeah. That'd be a pretty tough way. Plus, we lizards down here, man. When this crap happens... They've already closed schools tomorrow. Have they really? Unbelievable. For rain. I mean, it's going to rain. We ain't getting no junk.
I was going home to help Brittany with Whalen before we did this. And they had like sand on the intersections. I'm like, God, it's 34. Like.
Yeah, that was trash. But I mean, that was legit. Like there was snow and ice like everywhere.
I was stunned. They were about 80. Well, they were, but you know.
With rain and snow.
Yeah, but once it gets here, it's done. It melts, right? I don't know. Like, if it's icy outside and I go outside and pee on it, I got yellow ice.
I don't think that math works. No. Uh-uh. I don't think that math works. It's got to be below 32 and normally lower than that. And it'd be about 29. Our Irish fans, zero.
But it ain't.
See, Jason's that eternal optimist. I mean, Jay's come across negative until he goes duck hunting. Then he's pretty optimistic each and every day. But he leaves that in the duck blind. Yeah. Yeah. He was jolly today. Oh, yeah. He was jolly today. He paddled that P-Row about seven miles, I think, by the time it was all said and done with. That's how Jace works out. All natural.
And we're closing schools. As bad off as they've been the last three days, we may wake up more than it's 15. I don't know.
The guard commander is going to be walking to see you.
Yeah.
Live out there in that maze?
Yeah.
I'm way more curious how they live out there when it's like 100. No. And mosquitoes everywhere.
I don't know. It seems like hypothermia would be a lot quicker than West Nile or whatever gets you.
You know, encephalitis.
You're going to take your chances.
What'd he die from?
Guarantee you it was all during Duck Dynasty. Yeah. Well, Hunter, any interesting voicemails? He's had an interesting one lately. Leave us a rating wherever you listen to us. Five stars if you don't mind. That way more of your friends can find us. Rate, review, all the things wherever you listen to podcasts. Apple, Spotify, Amazon. What else is there? Who knows? There's a lot.
Where do you listen to your podcasts, Si? I don't. There you go. That's good. Thank you for that. And if you're on YouTube, like, subscribe, comment, all the things.
I got a few emails we may get to. Did y'all know that whatever happens in the duck call room stays in the duck call room?
It actually came from a place in the woods. What does that mean? That's what their business card says, from a place in the woods.
He forgot his coffee.
It's very catchy.
Oh, I know why they brought it. You know what else is on there? John 3, 16.
Johnny.
Yeah, from Johnny.
Just read the whole thing.
Hey. Johnny from Easley, South Carolina, with his place called From a Place in the Woods. He makes Adirondack chairs and rocking chairs. Those are the best kind of chairs.
He forgot his coffee, and he was unsettled until he just had to finally go.
And this voicemail.
I wouldn't have went to Indiana anyway. That game's harder than I thought it would be. Yeah.
What music are you listening to?
Where was the guy from? Evansville, Indiana.
A normal day. I go get in John Davis' truck. What's playing?
You're going to get my truck right now. No Shoes Radio is going to be on. No Shoes Radio? Yeah, I don't know why. I never fancied myself.
Oh, man. I don't know. If we only had a window... We wouldn't know, but it appears... To be snowy. It's snowing in Shreveport, y'all. According to the radar, it is snowing outside. I'm going to. That's the worst. I'm going to save some time so that you see for the folks of y'all at home that don't know.
I like them all. Obviously, Si was listening to Willie's Roadhouse when he put them up.
Oh, man.
The band?
You're going to be wearing an affliction.
Yeah, it's so cold out there. I've been listening to beach music. trying to trick my mind how to warm me up yeah oh hunter what you listening to this ought to be good i'm nervous i like a lot of punk music okay some heavier music and some southern rock heavy metal heavy and southern rock yeah hmm interesting
Okay, what else you got over there, Hunter?
Little town in Texas. I figured Stone had it, but I didn't want to just lay up with it.
I guess I was thinking more something a little more eclectic maybe.
Very south. I'm going back to Mississippi. I don't know.
Georgia. That's probably a good look.
Right? Does that count?
Hey, what if I need to chop something down? He's got a sweet swing.
Snap, crackle, and pop.
I think I probably take Count Chocula. Why? That way he can keep watch at night while I sleep. He'd be up all night anyway.
He could stay up all night. He could take the night shift, and I'll take the morning shift. Is Fred Flintstone on a- Oh, Fruity Pebble.
Yeah, and if you run into a dinosaur, he could help. I don't stay on that cereal aisle. Yeah, I don't know many cereal aisles. I got nothing for this. Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, 2K and Sam, he's living there. Oh. You know. I thought about him because then you could clean him and eat him at least. You don't take that tiger because he'll eat you. You take that rabbit. That's right. He'll eat you. Oh, silly rabbit. That rabbit would probably taste the best. Tricks are for kids.
could you take mikey from the life cereal box because mikey eat anything right you don't want to take him that's not good on a deserted island isn't he the kid yeah i'm still taking a three he's snap that's actually pretty ingenious i'll give you that so good good work on snap crackle and pop there you go that leprechaun be cool no he wouldn't he's on the wing but what if you get a rainbow
There's a pot of gold.
Cereal? Cereal. Oh, yeah. Take it private.
You'd be better suited if like Bear Grylls had cereal. Yeah. That'd be good. Somebody could build a far with two sticks.
It was a 20-yard shot, and he shot it at about 16. He was a little short.
oh yeah when you're on underwear walmart yeah yeah that that that's the one that's how i feel when you're the left butt cheek and yep yeah there you go so that's where you're at with the kelsey's yes i'm there there you go why do they need their own cereal why am i last thing here i mean capitalism's real good for them man making a ton of money
I did that on its own.
We'll see y'all next time.
Yeah. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck car. We're out.
Like the water blew up, because I was watching this thing. The water blew up, and the wood duck sitting behind it like, what just happened? Yeah, he didn't even get up.
He's just very confused. He was just, you could tell he was puzzled. He got away? No, he got him. He had to wait for him to pass the cameraman. The duck got up and flew right in front of Jared. I was like, uh-oh. But Jace let it go past him, and then boom, got him. He got him.
Right. He missed another duck. He missed a gadwall after Stone killed the gadwall. there's two of them. He missed it. And then Jace, he just left. He took off on a March, but his March involved a P row and a paddle.
Yeah. He's like, you know, I mean, I told him, I said, well, why ain't Jace staying in a blind? I said, boy, that's how you cure the red, you know, The red butt. Let's call it that.
Yeah. I said, sometimes a different man got different ways to handle. I said, Jason is going on a paddle. That's right. So he took his paddle and he's gone.
I will say he, he arguably made one of the worst shots and the best shots I've ever seen in the same morning.
That last shot on that one, Woody, was incredible. I mean, like. That thing was 90 yards. I mean, I looked and I was like.
Buddy, when I tell you dead. Oh, no. I mean, I was just looking down his gun barrel, and I was like, boy, I'm glad that ain't me. Boom, and that thing.
No, I got to look, Jase. Well, they just asked me for something.
Anytime I talk about stuff like that, I get a text a couple of days later from Hunter saying, can you send that to me? So I'm going to send it to him right now so that we don't have to worry about that in a couple of days. There you go, Hunter. There's the screenshot that you need of our radar. Is it snowing outside for real? I don't know.
Keep going.
Jason mad at them. He out there right now putting out decoys.
Kind of like a parachute, you know.
He did today, but man.
He's now a shovel man.
Everywhere he goes now, duck hunting, he got two things, a shotgun and a shovel. I've been halfway convinced the shovel's for us. He's just going to take us out there and get rid of us.
No, right now he's using it to pop up grass every morning for brush. For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.
The radar says it is, but the weathermen have been so obnoxiously wrong the past three days. I don't.
They didn't stop at just creating the pillow. They've made the best bed sheets ever, too, man.
And I don't know what to tell you. I mean, the sheets, they look, they feel great, all the things, which means an even better night's sleep for all of us, which is crucial for a man like Cy.

First thing you do when you get on that property is pull into a grass patch.
You shine the headlight on the grass. Jace pops a root. You grab the grass and throw it in the back of the rig.
Oh, yeah. No, we're clearing all that.
What's that? It's what? Meteorologist? Weatherman. Oh, no. Is it really, though? Because, like, what if you get it wrong and it has some other effects on people?
Hey, we got out there this morning. We just kept walking through the middle of it. He said, ooh, this is the good stuff. Look how big these clumps are.
Well, it's now all sitting on duck blinds. He'd go back and get it and throw it in the ground. It'd be fine. It'd be fine. There's plenty of holes out there. Be careful if you walk out in front of that hilltop stand because you'll break an ankle.
He drove like Dale Earnhardt this morning, too. I was smiling the whole time. Jersey Joe, terrified.
Yeah, something, yeah. Oh, was he driving the boat or the? The four-wheeler. Four-wheeler. Yeah, he had that baby.
Oh, he wasn't worried about that.
He could care less about a deer. You've never seen a grown man more petrified than Jersey Joe was riding to that thing, too. I was back here smiling, just a big grin on my face, having time of my life, and Jersey Joe just holding on for dear life. I don't like going fast. And Jared, the cameraman, Jared, he said, he said, Jase, could you see better than I could out that windshield? Jase said, nah.
Yeah, I mean, I guess.
He said, muscle memory. I just know that road. We had a couple of mud holes so bad, he didn't know it too well. He threw water on the roof of that thing. It was a good morning. It was fun. I had an enjoyable morning this morning, I will say. We needed that after about a five-day suck fest.
I had a bunch of woodies, but it's still fun. They come in there for the most part.
It happens.
It happens.
Yep, wrong gun. He said, I got the wrong weapon in my hand.
At the ground.
Well, on a more serious note, I guess we should. That's going to be a weird segue. But if we do have any fans in California, probably not many.
and especially where the fires are but that's an aggressive take but probably i mean i'm i'm pretty sure but if if you do or if it's your family or anything like that look that that's a bad deal and man really and true and two like the first responders man y'all are killing it out there like yeah going into the face of those blazes so i don't how did things start like i'm not did somebody set it on fire
The problem is our old weatherman tried to take over the zoo, and that didn't work out, right? So maybe he should have stayed with the weather.
We have the New Testament over here. What? No. We're losing it. We're losing it. I didn't know we were going to lose it.
I'm so sorry. Hold on. 9-1-1. I was drinking the tea. I looked up. I saw Cy go, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Of our lives or?
Anyways. That checks out.
He's got a Rolex! He's so rich!
Who is this guy?
That's weird you saying it, Si. That's mental. I was at the club. I was crazy.
Are you all royalty? No, the president did not make a deal with us. Just to put it out there.
We're all John down here.
And that's why he's got a Rolex. Come on, baby.
Take them off. You don't want to add more, do you?
All the best! All the best! All the best!
Yeah.
This right here. You don't have that. What's ice?
Y'all don't have ice.
America's champion. Yeah. But. I don't even know how we got here. I don't know how we've gone from Jesus to crushed ice. That's not cool. Welcome to the duck call room. Welcome to the duck call room.
All right, so I have a list of questions that I can ask you guys if you guys all want to answer at once, or we can do it where you guys take turns asking questions and trying to guess what the
We're going to start with Cy guessing the answer. Okay. You guys. All right. So Cy, don't write your answer yet. Who is Cy's celebrity crush? Oh, well, that's easy.
All right. Well, this one it's for Godwin.
Who would play Godwin in a movie?
Yeah. All right. Hunter? Hunter? All right. For John David, who is the most competitive driver?
Out of all four of you.
Yeah.
Whoa.
That's an easy one.
He was about to say where he was from.
Y'all sweet tea rules. Unbelievable.
There you go.
Really?
You going to go to Israel? I mean, Dallas? No, I'm not going to Dallas.
He is a coach.
No, it's worse. Because most people say, you know, that tastes worse than we ever knew. That tastes like chicken.
Okay.
Okay, you just did. Thank you for that.
Oh, well... You have a way in. You have a key to the door right there. You have homemade oatmeal cream pies.
She's too old for the Super Bowl halftime show, boy.
Thank you, Miss Arkansas. I don't know if you're really Miss Arkansas, but in my mind you are because those homemade oatmeal cream pies are fantastic. I'll bring you one, dear.
I was about to say, can I get one?
Yeah, I'll bring you one. No problem.
Oh, for real? Oh, yeah. That was the first one to do that, huh? Mm-hmm.
Oh, man. She came in hot. I just, I did.
Man, I'm here to tell you. What a time to be alive.
What a time to freaking be alive. I do love it.
Oh, thank you.
No, they're not biters.
But they'll punch you. They'll headbutt you.
Yeah. No biting though.
Yeah. They're boys. Boys will be boys.
Yeah. They're a good time.
They have a sweet side. I call them sour patch kids. They got a sweet side and they got a sour patch.
not quite two and a half so yeah we about got this whooped right we're definitely in the thick of the twos though yeah the twos are the worst yeah emotions are coming hard and fast now they're starting to figure out what those are i go through emotional whiplash daily just i don't know what i'm gonna get Yeah, we did have our first busted lip. Not as cool of a story as you think.
It was self-inflicted.
Yeah, definitely. Aren't they all?
Well, this one, he just hit himself in the face with a bus, because that's a good idea. A whole bus? Well, a little wooden bus. He was spinning around with it, and then got a little loose in turn three there, and bop, right upside. And I look over, he just got a fat, bloody lip. I was like... Boy, that's what life does to you, son, when you think you got it all under control.
I'm with Cy.
Bop, hit you right in the mouth. How do you react? Out of control.
That's basically what it is. They just wake up every day and just try to figure out a way to hurt themselves. That's the era we're in right now.
Pretty legit at it, too. But it's fun, man. Right now is a lot of fun. Or for me, it's a lot of fun. Brittany, you're not having fun? No, she's there all the time.
The whole thing. Cy's team.
On the daily.
Probably not as fun.
I'm still having fun, though. I don't want to say it. Gosh, man, they say some of the funniest things. Do some of the funniest things.
Yeah. Well, the recognition of letters he's good at if you have a puzzle.
Yes.
But when he just sees, when he sees words strung together, that's just letters. A, B, C. A, B, C. We'll go through the whole thing. Lottie went through a W phase. W?
Oh.
Yeah.
I said, no, no, no, no. Right now, oh, the coolest part, Waylon has finally realized that farts are funny.
What's part of it? What's part of it? All of it. Hey, now I do think. Hold on. I think there was a part of the Super Bowl that was fantastic. Seal is a seal.
Yes. He can fart on command. Hold on.
Yeah, we basically, we're like... He'll do it on his own and then we'll be like, do it again. And you can see him. Because we laugh when he does. Because he can.
He can rip a grown adult one on command.
You get it from his daddy.
It does make me giggle. It's funny. I'm just glad he thinks farts are funny. Sometimes you run across and people get a little uptight about them.
I was about to say, we're going to have to. Well, when you're two and a half, they should be. They're always. They should be funny.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. He'll be that kid.
Yeah, because he just does it and then looks around with the biggest smile on his face. Makes me very proud, Dad.
Have you done that?
What?
Ripped one in the middle of a church service? No.
Not out loud.
Have I ever told you about Carter on that plane?
No. Oh, no.
Oh no.
They're small.
It filled the whole plane. Somebody done sold themselves. Nope, just Carter ripping one. Oh, praise God.
How is it traveling with kids? We haven't done that yet. Don't do it ever.
To be a SEAL. That was good. It was.
Oh, the boys don't even have iPads yet. I'm so, nothing against them.
Yeah. But we have them. I don't want to be an iPad mom. I know the time is going to come at some point, especially for long trips and things of that nature.
But you got an eight-hour drive.
Wasn't even what I was talking about.
Oh, shit. Hey, I got a question. You're a shoe aficionado, right?
I have many shoes. How come in Monroe this weekend, folks was like fighting and shooting over tennis shoes?
Oh, at Hibbets.
Nah, I mean, I'll get there.
I saw, we made like national news. Did you know that, Si? Something about some Jordan 5s or something got released this weekend or something. They were fighting over? No, they were shooting each other. Straight up fist fighting, gunshots fired.
All over a pair of shoes.
Oh, there's a video? I didn't see the video.
I was about to say, I've been in that hibbit.
I was just about to say a bridge.
He had to come out with a whole thing. It was a bad deal. Yeah, I just couldn't believe that tennis shoes, we're to the point of society where tennis shoes equal gunshots. Like, I just find that bizarre, right? Is that not weird? That we can't just... Mental illness. Mental illness. Okay.
Yeah, I didn't even know that happened.
Well, there was... Did you hear about that guy that was faking like he was hurt? It was over by Target. What's that service road behind Target?
Millhaven.
Millhaven. And he was faking it so that people would stop and check on him and he was trying to steal their car. You like drag the lady out.
That's why Live PD ended up here.
Yeah, we do have Live PD here.
It was like, yeah, I'm going to get on it.
I love that show. We made it. No, I just, it's crazy. Trying to see if I can get the crux of the shoes. You hear, it says something about Jordan 5s. That's all I know.
That was cool.
Yeah, it was really good.
Yeah, I haven't seen that.
Actually, let's look it up. They look very 2000s. Early 2000s.
No, early 2000s. A very different age than now.
Yeah, good times, man.
Yeah, kind of. Because no one can be original anymore. If you think about it. Give me a year. Okay.
I'm impressed that you did that.
What?
Johnny D got more shoes than probably everybody in here.
You can have them. I'll purchase the shoes. You can have them. You go home with the shoes. Just don't shoot me.
What a time to be alive.
Of course, I didn't think the Super Bowl halftime show was cool either. Hold on.
Your shoes actually look pretty cool. Okay, we're okay then. Yeah.
What about size shoes?
Always.
I bought them for 30 bucks for him off eBay.
What?
Did you really? Slip-on.
Slip-on. He's all about a slip-on, too.
Well, I mean, I knew we didn't make them anymore, so I went to the wonderful world of eBay to see if a pair in size 10 still existed.
Yeah, he wore.
Hunter, good news for us. I don't think anybody's going to shoot us over our Brooks from Academy and our wide feet since we have the same shoes.
Oh, Hunter's a part of the wide foot club? Yeah.
Yeah. I had his offspring. You don't say. Also struggling with that problem.
Yeah, probably so. Especially Jackson. Yeah. He got a stomp down there.
Waylon can wear whatever you want. Waylon wear all the normal people stuff. Jackson, we're over in that B and T section. Big and tall. They'll be fine. Do they still call that section for the kids Husky? Like to make them feel better or they got to get rid of that?
What if we get you? So is that to the tune of Kiss from a Rose? Oh, yeah.
I didn't get husky until an adult. You were Ben's? Yes. You were a late bloomer.
You say, no, I've always been this way. I started out. Yeah.
Yeah.
I've seen the photograph.
Yeah, that's fine. I'm good with it.
I wasn't husky, but I was a giant. I could see over everybody. Oh, you were that girl? I was that girl.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, she's early.
Like Brittany. Yeah.
Oh, she's still pretty big, though.
Yeah, I'm six feet.
You're not six foot tall. She crawls six foot.
You're six foot tall?
Yeah. She don't look that tall because she's next to me. Is that what it is? Yeah. Are you six foot tall?
When I saw him and his height, I was like, I want that one.
Like the other night. I want that one.
I want that one.
Hey, friend, you need to wrap this show up and go home.
It was so hard.
Dating for me was hard because guys don't grow until later on.
Yeah, like the other night.
My license says I'm 5'11", but if I stand up straight, I'm six feet tall.
Yeah, the other night when we were at that deal, that party, Allison come over and kind of got in between me and Brittany. We was all just standing there talking. I was like, wow, you're little. She is so little.
Now you're just one of the big people that sit down front.
Church is the only place that I sit down front, even though I'm tall. Most places, I go to the back of a room just to be kind and polite.
I know. Yeah. Yeah. She can't hang out with us in the crowd. Allison got to get up there at the front.
Yeah.
Like, that's fine. You know, everybody had to kneel in their T-ball.
I'm used to being in the back.
Yeah.
Pictures. Choir.
All the things.
No, not true.
That was my favorite part of the whole Super Bowl. What was the good part to you, Martin?
You can sing.
Why not? Hey, I'm with you.
Why not? You're probably going to have to find something a little more upbeat than he stopped loving her today, though.
I don't know, but I bet last night struggled. But one song. You got one song that you can nail.
DT getting love? No. Seen Pro-America? Not even that. Everybody was getting along. I'm not even going to be so petty as to say it's when Taylor Swift got booed, but that was hilarious, by the way. And so did the memes that followed with her and the little puppet thing that, man.
That one song would take up the whole halftime show.
Speaking of our president, did he really put in an order from the suite at the Super Bowl to quit making pennies?
Quit making what? Pennies.
Pennies are gone.
Pennies are gone. Quit making new pennies.
There you go. They're not necessary.
Yeah.
Rounding up.
Yeah. I'd bury them, but I'm afraid Jay's come dig up my yard. Are we going to a penniless? When will we be a penniless society? Well, to be fair, math for everybody would probably get a lot easier if we just played like dominoes and went off fives and tens.
Well, cut that out. Oh, it's going to be $4 now.
Well, thank goodness.
Yeah. And I don't think they are right now. No, what are we? City limits like 11%. So yeah, there's a. Yeah.
That was good.
They beat us to cheese fries. I'm not making pennies. I mean, it makes. I mean, I guess I'm the weird. I still bend over and pick up a penny.
Welcome to Louisiana.
I will pick up a penny.
Yeah, but I'm going to.
Yeah. I also ain't never thrown one in a wishing well, neither. Nope. Charities. I work too hard to fling a piece of change out there. So you know what? I think that's going to work. Babe, have you been here since we've done voice calls? I haven't. Get ready. Do you know the phone number? It's 318-215-6559, baby. Oh, about time one of us learned that. Also, I have to look up.
It does.
And Johnny's Pizza is still 3965120. Oh, man. Wow.
Happy birthday, Andrew.
He's going fishing with Godwin? Heck yeah, man.
Thank you, Justin.
Yo Sesame who?
Yosemite Sam?
And the guns.
Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. He's been known to carry some sticks. He's a cowboy. Like, are we going classic cartoons or new cartoons?
I'm just curious. I watch a lot of cartoons now. Me too. Not a lot. I like the same ones, but I do like them.
I'm intrigued to hear what yours is.
I think I'd like to be Bluey's dad.
Oh, man.
Because he never fails at being a father.
He's like, he sets dad goals to unreasonable expectations because you can't meet him like he does.
It's a kid's show. Yeah, they're dogs. A family of blue healers. It's funny because I was going to say Chili. I want to be Bluey's mom. She's really cool.
nerds i can tell y'all we can tell yeah you can tell who's got the two-year-old like i'm just trying to figure out like if darth vader was ever in a cartoon so i can say him because my other thing be like you know rubble from rubble and crew like i mean my man's a dog who gets to drive an excavator i mean that that pretty well checks a lot of boxes too so I can see myself as a young kid.
I know why they like the Paw Patrol stuff, because that stuff's cool if you're a kid.
And you were making fun of me for getting too into that episode the other day.
I didn't know he was going to eat them.
I think they cleaned up too. We cleaned up a little bit. I saw people out there washing the streets.
Yes. I did.
I know. I said, the good guys are going to win. The other morning we were watching. I got mine now, by the way. The other morning we were watching Paw Patrol and there's like, I don't know, something got real big.
It was a giant eel.
Giant eel scooped up the mayor. And when the eel scooped up the mayor, Brittany went. The boys never even flinched. Right? Like, and Brittany just, like, like the same kind of, you make on a spy movie when somebody gets killed.
It shocked me. It shocked me. I wasn't, I didn't see it coming.
I looked over at her. I said, really? She's going to be okay.
Yeah.
But Paw Patrol.
I'm a stay-at-home mom to two two-year-olds. It is what it is.
I honestly thought you would say Ninja Turtles.
I'm so far removed from that, though, that our whole life is... I mean, I thought about Daddy Pig from Peppa Pig, too. He's kind of tight.
Finn is from. He's not. Finn. Oh, Finn. Come on, dude.
I bet that thing today. I hope they got rid of it.
You don't have girls.
The boys do love Moana.
Yeah, they love Moana.
Yes. Yes. See, that's kind of the era I wanted to live in, but I just had to be honest with the one I'm in now.
Well, he's a cool dad. He's dad goals, man. No, he is. If you could be that plugged in as a dad all the time. No, I'm a terrible father compared to him. Yeah, but you can't measure yourself off Bluey's dad.
Yeah.
They do have an episode like that for the mom, though, and she's like, I need 20 minutes. And they let her go.
No. Whenever they won the Eagles, which congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, your Super Bowl champions.
Why?
Why?
One country.
I know exactly where I am. Go ahead. Australia. Australia, baby. They're out in the middle of nowhere by themselves. They got the sun, the sand. They do got a lot of weird animals and stuff.
At least we'd be close to each other because I'm going to New Zealand.
Not old Mexico?
No offense, but Canada get too cold. Yeah. It's too cold for too long.
I have heard that. Germany's awesome. Scotland was kind of meh.
Ireland intrigues me as well. Ireland's fun. I could go live with Andrew.
They interviewed the coach, man. And I thought the coach's interview with Tom Rinaldi was spectacular.
Yeah, you could become a structure guy with Andrew.
Yeah, he's lived everywhere.
The islands? Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure.
Yeah.
Yeah. One of them islands. You probably won't go like St. Lucia or something. Yeah.
Them people look like they're having a good time. You watch The Bachelor? I have more questions about that.
I watched The Bachelor and The Bachelorette when it first became a thing, and then I just...
Anyways.
I became a Nick Sirianni fan last night because of his answers to Tom Rinaldi's questions.
Oh y'all have met Peyton Manning My cousin's in a cookie commercial Listen We couldn't We took a picture And I wasn't allowed to post it though So I didn't get to tell anybody Why wasn't she allowed to post it? So if I'm telling people now I've met Peyton Manning And it was wonderful Oh you're a volunteer too Hey also Peyton Manning Twin dad Yeah, he is a twin dad. We met as twins.
Yeah, we were fishing with this twin. He has a boy and a girl.
Look at us.
We were sad it didn't make it to the Super Bowl. Peyton and or Eli. And or Arch. And or Arch or Archie. Or Archie or Cooper.
We have a chair for you.
We have a chair.
Yeah. Louisiana rules. New Orleans rules. Put Eli in the Hall of Fame. All right. We'll see you all next time. What's up with that?
53.
53 of them. 47 dress out. Yeah. It took all 53 of them to make them great. That is a fact that is lost in today's world so easily. that you think it's about yourself or something you did or something somebody has done. No, it took all 53 of them pulling the rope the same freaking way to get to where they were. A bottle of sweat, blood.
And when that's the first thing you say after the biggest victory of your life, like that's the pinnacle.
You're done.
Yeah. You can retire. You have done the biggest your profession can do. And that was the first thing that come out of his mouth. I was like, okay, okay. I like this cat. Didn't know him. Didn't know him before. I never really liked him. And I would not have. And that turned me. And here's what's funny. When you visually look at that guy, I would not have pegged that to come out of his mouth.
Real good. Mighty Ducks was going to have a... It came out in like 1994. They had a second one?
Because he kind of looks like a butthole.
Yeah.
He's so intense. Like, you're just like, man, that guy doesn't look... But then whenever you strip it all down, the guy's crying. His kid says, happy tears. Like, and then does the Eagles chants. I was like...
freaking go eagles man like i don't even know nothing about y'all like and then he followed it up with putting his faith right out there in front of however many people were still there and then jalen hurt sang the same song right after that like man good for y'all man go jalen that's that's that's the thing that got me everybody underestimated the team yeah
They really did. Well, how could you not, right?
He's got it all. How do you think Nick Saban felt last night? I benched that kid.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to forever think of Jalen Hurts as an Oklahoma Sooner.
And. Meanwhile, Tua was at home in Miami, you know, just chilling watching it.
That was funny. That was funny. I'll give him that. Don't stay there. We'll pay you more. Let's run this back.
Is that official now?
No, but that was kind of my take on from the Super Bowl, man. That and I'm old. The way that they won. I appreciate that. I appreciate their conferences, the post-game stuff. I was like, man, that's really cool. So, yeah, man, I was glad to see that. In prime time on a Sunday night.
Hot chocolate strikes again. And your microphone.
Well, if they hadn't been, they'd have lost last night, right? Yeah. Because the Chiefs handled Saquon Barkley, who you thought is what the Eagles' offense was.
No.
Yeah.
He couldn't. Yeah, he didn't make it. I bet Jalen Hurts squats a house. That boy got some thighs on him. He just pushes. I mean, you look at him. That boy got some thighs on him. For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.

That was a cool thing to recognize in that moment, that it took all 53, and however many practice squad people, too.
I just wasn't my favorite halftime show. I couldn't understand what he was saying.
I know.
Yeah, all the subliminal and all the, yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
I didn't watch much of it because I was cooking.
During that time. But the part that I was inside for during that, I just couldn't hear him. So I didn't know if that was light.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah. Hey, whatever. You hit something out of the park, you miss something. I remember, when was Dr. Dre?
That was cool. But I think a lot of it has to depend on your generation and what you would think would be cool, right? Yeah. You know, I mean, I'm not going to.
I feel like this was the first Super Bowl that I've ever watched, and I felt like I was out of the demographic. Yes. I felt very old, and I was like, uh.
Yeah, I was about to say, it is a little bright for me.
I can't believe you missed the SEAL part.
That's all I learned about myself. That was the biggest thing I related to in the whole thing.
What SEAL is a SEAL?
Well, there you go. I just figured, Si, you got any tips for the Kansas City Chiefs?
You were full of tips for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
No shows. No shows. Oh, no show Jones.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, we can sit here and talk about the things that they should and shouldn't be doing, but at the end of the day, you're not out there on the field.
Man.
Sounds terrible. I actually enjoyed Tom Brady's commentary of it, which is kind of weird. I don't really enjoy much that comes out of his mouth. That was the worst. Back when we played Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah, really. Olive, maroon, gray, black. That's about it.
Yeah, Collinsworth's worse than him. I don't know. I just like to hear people's perspective that have done it. I hate when the commentators are people that haven't done it and they start telling you why and how.
Oh, yeah, I would, but then nobody's watching the game, right?
I'm going to work on that graphic at the bottom of the screen. It'll look like Fox ran out of money.
I thought I was watching like 1989 Tecmo Bowl. Just real glitchy Nintendo stuff. I thought that was, I didn't like it. I didn't care for it. But, you know, we can sit here. Everybody got an opinion. There are people listening here saying, well, I wish y'all wouldn't do that. So that's fine. And y'all have that right to that opinion just like we do. So that's the cool thing about living in America.
Yeah, he nailed it. Speaking of too old, go ahead, Brittany.
And you know what?
Who?
Arkansas.
Well, they just don't put enough Mayhall in it because there's not a ton of Mayhalls around. So you got to stretch that juice as far as you can. And that's hard. That's why Phil's is so good because he uses enough Mayhall where you taste the Mayhall. And at store-bought, you just can't. You can't do it.
Not interested. All right. Yeah.
It wasn't much. Stone's here. So we had a discussion about your father-in-law's attempt at Phil's dressing stone. I'm just trying to get a full-blown survey of how it was. Because Cy said it was. For the most part.
Yeah. Every year the batch. Something about the batch changes.
You built a far down there then.
That's exactly what Silas told us.
Hey, when you're surrounded on three sides by water, 71 is chilly down there. Oh, yeah. That Atlantic Ocean get cold this time of year.
Anytime you can hear the phone shaking, it's a bad deal.
Them back legs quivering. Them legs were shaking. Yeah, Jackson get like that right now when he get backed up. He go about two days without taking a dump. He look over there and them back legs, he's just holding on to something. Them back legs just a quivering. I'm like, buddy, if you'd squat a little bit, this would be a lot easier on you. I don't know why you're trying to do this straight legged.
You don't want to go then.
For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.
They didn't stop at just creating the pillow. They've made the best bed sheets ever, too, man.
And I don't know what to tell you. I mean, the sheets, they look, they feel great, all the things, which means an even better night's sleep for all of us, which is crucial for a man like Cy.

Good place for a tackle shot, man. They fish all time down there. I bet they got one or two. They got a few of them. Yeah. So you're not fishing? I mean, we may, but nothing. Not planning on it. Not the bridge fishing? I know a few. Did you all do that together? What's that? The go fishing on the bridge? I did that. The giant ones. Did you go, Si? I went with Goblin.
A deer will never look bigger than when he turns and walks away.
When they're walking away. He could be 100-inch, 6-point. He turns and walks away, you're like, that's a dang big one. I mean, it's the craziest thing you've ever seen.
Oh, boy. How does that make you feel, Hunter? Hunter over there shaking his head. I just figured I needed to involve him in that conversation.
Yeah.
I prefer benevolent uncle. You will get killed. You prefer what? I prefer benevolent uncle over angry side. Yeah, me too.
That's not fun.
Oh, you've seen like irritated Si.
Yeah, I mean, it's fun to poke at a little bit, but then you got to remember like, all right, stop. You can get him to the end. You don't want to do that.
Yeah. I ain't doing none of those things. Hey, just so you're aware, chasing Anna with a snake will have the same results. Well, maybe worse. Yeah, I want to send her home for the rest of the day because of that. I'm just kidding. I threw her my phone. I said, would you look at that? It's a picture of a big old snake.
Oh, yeah. She threw my phone on the ground, and I didn't see her for the next 24 hours until she showed back up at work. I didn't know it was that big of a deal. Oh, she was mad, too. Oh, big mad. Big mad. She actually came the next day and quasi, as much as a Robertson can, apologized to me for as mad as she got. I mean, like, yeah, they're never going to say it.
Me and Goblin went down there with Scott Martin. We were bridge trolls for tarpon. You just let a crab out under that bridge in the current, and you hold on.
It was a Robertson apology.
There's no such thing as a Robertson apology. Yeah, you just got to recognize it. It's their attempt at an apology, so you give them credit for it. Right, Si?
I guess.
What was the biggest responsibility you had? I'm just curious. When you say left you in charge, what does that look like?
Oh, so you could have liked.
And then the skill is to not let the hammerhead sharks eat him. Like, that's the tough part, is to keep him away from the hammerhead.
Besides the kind of guy you want in charge of the red button. Because trust me, he's going to do everything he can to not use it. And you know that if it went to it, that was the last resort.
Hey, that's cool, man. That's awesome. I'm glad I asked that question because I never really... No, no, no.
I see. That's mildly concerning.
Yeah.
Confiscate this thing like it was Hunter Biden. First thing off. They'll give it back.
Yeah.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh, you started working your way up. Oh, no, no. You just kept playing.
Wait, so that was real? Like, that's really how y'all transported the messages? Oh, no. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Y'all handcuffed briefcases to your... Yes, sir.
Jason Bourne. Oh, star.
Hey, before you go... I want you, you had it handcuffed to your, did you drive with it handcuffed? Or did you have a driver? No, no, I drove myself. Okay, I was just curious.
Yeah, I was just curious. I was trying to figure out how you got from there to there with it handcuffed to your, did you take it off when you got in the car? Or you drove with it handcuffed?
I'm sorry. I'm just really curious about that part. I opened the briefcase. The movie about your life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So at this point, y'all were even.
We know who's at the bottom of the hill.
Yeah.
That's a good leader. That's the right man to leave in charge.
Yeah, he about to take that star off. Oh, yeah.
Oh, you were driving on the wrong side of the road, too.
Okay, so that ain't all of Europe.
Yeah, they's enjoying a little yo time, and you in there trying to screw that up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
That's fun, man. I didn't know that was a real thing, though. I thought that was kind of put on for the movies where the people handcuffed the briefcase to the cell. It's top secret. Well, I understand, but I just figured there was a different path which that took. I thought that was right.
You get your hand lopped off. That's why everybody had a bone saw in the rig.
So when you lock the briefcase, you can't open it?
Can you take the handcuff off?
Okay, so you leave the key there.
Oh, they get in there.
I mean, if they went through that first step, I imagine the second one ain't that big of a deal.
There's that word again.
You'll see how that happens.
What did you say? You stuck your arm out there and you couldn't see his hand? Oh, no, no. And it was gone. Under a roof, he went like this, couldn't see his hand. That's pretty good magic trick there.
Gone.
Man, I really feel like Forrest Gump got to jump on you, though.
It was dusty again.
wow right you talking about rain son that when it rains in vietnam they call it monsoon because it is a wall of rain there's a there's a documentary on it oh no it's unreal what uh we got any emails anything new in there hunter you got a voicemail we have a follow-up a follow-up follow-up oh i got something what do you have
No, go ahead. Do your thing.
That's a defeat, boy.
that technology was involved, right? Because, you know, they have those deals now where it like beeps and clicks. I mean, we've done some of that dream stuff. He used his ears. I don't know, but it said technology is cool, but it didn't play any role in my 100% blind buddy Dallas taking a banded Canadian, well, Canada goose for his first bird shot since being shot and left blind seven years ago.
It was all God. so they've tried it for a long time it wasn't like i walked out yeah so no technology yeah that's awesome that he actually raised up and just and kill a banded goose yeah amen yeah so they did say they'd really love to share the uh their testimony and stuff so we may get them on here
Something about light, water.
I'm guessing they went as a group. Now, this is, again, a guess. I'm guessing they went as a group and probably saying, from the right, from the right, coming, coming, you know, and then.
Yeah. Probably a lot of direction involved in it. But still, no technology other than.
Other than human beings and the good Lord, there was no technology used in him taking a banded Canada goose.
Yeah, forget it being banded or not. I don't care if he's banded or he ain't. To do that blind, that's incredible.
I was thinking it was we walk by faith, not by sight.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Hunter, you got a voicemail? Anything new?
No, I mean, I like the one yesterday, or the last time we did this about gas stations. I like little oddball conversation deals.
Yeah.
Roll one, Hunter. Roll one. Let's just see what we got, Big Daddy.
It's Luke from... Luke? No chance. Oklahoma. Kentucky. Oh, Thibodeau. Thibodeau, boy. Yeah, hometown guy.
Stone just got excited. Luke from Thibodeau. That's the kind of questions we need. Yes. Luke from Thibodeau.
Or yellow.
Si's name is going to be Father Time. other time okay i didn't have that one but i just who's your daddy oh who's your baby hey toby keith done made another appearance look at there toby keith forever hey you like me now baby i've never really thought about it who's your daddy stone You were so excited. I feel like this is something you've rehearsed now that you've been in a jiu-jitsu ring.
Which one? Bicycle?
Completely covered. And you're wondering how.
Oh, boy. Either time. Either time. What would Johnny D be?
Man, I don't know.
Yeah.
Mick Foley.
Yeah. I had something last night driving me crazy. Daggum duck lice. It took me like 15 minutes to catch that sucker.
I just don't think I'd be one. Remember old Andre the Giant, and then you had the other one that called himself the Giant. They come out in them one-piece leotards. I don't think I could pull that off. Oh, yeah.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Hacksaw, he was on that dinosaur. Yeah, them guys earned that paycheck that day.
They might as well have been naked. They just had a little sheet of spandex over their junk. And we're happy to be there.
No, I mean, I depend on y'all, you know.
Sound like a Kenny Chesney song.
Ozone, okay.
Oh, you're going back to your PlayStation name.
This ought to be good. Go ahead, Si. What you got?
Smokey the Bear.
Martin's more of a yogi. Yeah. than a Smokey. I'm way more into picnic baskets. That's for sure. Yogi Bear.
Or the Great Khali. I remember him. Great Khali. He had that chop. Big John Stud. Big John Stud. What would Godwin be? I think Godwin would have to be the wall. Flying Flea. Oh, the Flying Flea.
Oh, thank you so much, Luke from Thibodeau.
I mean, just drove me nuts.
Oh, thank you, Luke from Thibodeau. My goodness. Hunter, what would you be?
Oh, Hunter the Hammer.
Oh, MC Hammer. Oh, Hunter come out in some parachute pants. All right. It's actually my mom's nickname. Hey, me and Hunter got the same shoes.
Really? I remember Greg the Hammer Valentine. She gave birth to twins, so my hat's off to her. I ain't saying nothing. I married one that did it, too. She can name herself whatever she want to, buddy. Hammer. Oh, man. Anyway, Johnny D. That's a good one there. Please, by the way. What's your walkout song? Oh, Si did it. Whatever he said, I don't know.
I mean, that's one of them deals I think like other people have to pick for you. Yeah, I think that's one of them deals where other people that know you pick that for you.
I mean, like, you know, selfishly, I'd probably be like Nate Dogg or Morton G or something. Like, we go back to regulators. Regulators, mount up!
Oh, yeah. Oh, it was up there in the Sahara Desert, also known as my bald head, and I couldn't catch him.
All right, we'll see you all next time.
Oh, the voicemail number. What was it again? 318-215-6559?
Hey, look, I finally remembered it. 3-1-5. No, no, no, no, no. 3-1-8. 3-1-8. 2-1-5. Yeah, 2-1-5. 6-5-5-9. 6-5-5-9. I finally remembered it. All right. There we go. All right, we'll see you all next time. 65-59.
He was trying to set up.
Oh, he wasn't attacking me. He was just crawling all over me, driving me nuts.
And up there on my bald head, I couldn't catch that slick little rascal. You'd think that'd be the easiest place to catch him, right out there in the open. Of course, he's wondering what happened, you know.
Pretty sure.
Yeah, and I still couldn't catch him. Oh, boys. That sucker kept going side to side, and I just was sitting there scratching. Brittany's like, what is wrong with you? I said, I got one of them dang duck lights in my head. She finally got him for me, though. She wasn't as big of a fan of him. She started swatting at him? Well, she said, how many of those are in this house? I said, I don't know.
As a fan of No Shoes Radio on SiriusXM.
I mean, it is duck season, so, you know, bring them in. The boys love playing with dead ducks now.
What?
Oh, yeah. I listen to it all the time, man. It's like easy listening music. There's never anything offensive. That's what I like about it. It ain't heavy metal. It's never anything offensive. It's smooth. It's never loud. No. Just Kenny Chesney and Jimmy Buffett. I didn't even know I was a Jimmy Buffett fan.
So kind of like that right there.
Look at him. Look at him right there.
Oh.
Oh, yeah. He had that one like that, and he kept saying, Duck, go night-night. Duck, go night-night. I said, what's something like that? Duck is night-night. He's very asleep. He's asleep? He's extremely asleep. But no, I just thought, or I think... It's very important to involve them in the process early on. So, like, when I clean ducks at the house, they're out there with me.
Like, we're sitting there. They're learning knives are sharp. They're learning what meat looks like. I let them play in the blood and, like, all the things, just like.
Ba-boom. Hey. Ba-boom. La. Yeah. No. I think it's a full circle moment for them so they can start. And I don't ever want to be them kids go, ooh.
Yeah.
You just made Johnny D. You lost a man there.

No, I think he likes them because of that super long neck. Look at this. Hold on. Look at this kid. Oh, this is fantastic. This is probably... Wait till he sees this. He love a mallard drake. He want to cuddle him, but look at him with that pintail. No.
prize yeah and he's like he's what you can't hear in there is he's going pintail pintail like so i'm teaching them all the species already too so they know pintail they know gadwall they know wood duck and they know mallard so it's that mallard is mallard duck for some reason they're mallard duck mallard duck and green head but uh Yeah, man, it's fun. This is by far my favorite stage thus far.
Their curiosity is what is a lot of fun. So like I took one, one was full of rice. He had eaten a bunch of rice before he come in there and I took the rice and laid it out and they played in the rice. And they're like, of course, Jackson. I said, yeah, that's rice, Jackson. I was like, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. We're not going to eat rice from a duck gizzard, like from a duck's crop.
It goes all the way to the tip.
We ain't about that life. We'll buy some. Yeah, we'll go. I got rice in there if you want it. Because they do love to eat rice. I didn't really think about that when I laid that thing of rice on my tailgate from the duck's crop. But he didn't get it to his mouth. He just got really close.
This is like my fifth time in Key West. I like that town.
Big old lump in his neck.
That tickles me. Them boys are something, man. It's a lot of fun. It flies by. That's all I can tell you. I hope they just keep picking up them acorns. That's what he was doing while I was cleaning ducks, picking up acorns.
Just acorns, though. they love acorns and the little caps that come on the acorns they call them acorn hats then they put them on their head yep that's funny yeah no but it's parenting man parenting little young outdoorsman it is a lot of fun it is it is good times indeed and we're i mean where are we at we're getting we're crowding christmas now So I don't know.
What is today?
Really? Four years. Four years ago today. Really? Hey.
That's a beautiful place.
Yeah, there's a lot of things Phil did that I don't think we should do.
It ain't nothing wrong with it. It would be interesting, though, to, like, take rice from a duck and then haul it and then cook it and see.
See.
It is, actually. Yeah, it's really good.
Tarpon? No, it's going to be cold, man. I ain't going fishing. Time out cold? Yeah, the high down there is like 71 the whole time we're there. That's cold in Key West. I've done this before.
It really is good.
Yeah.
What's that?
20 minutes and you're done.
Yeah. Sometimes you got to look at the pay of the trade-off in time versus what you get.
Yeah. Well, it's kind of like homemade biscuits.
Homemade biscuits. It's never worth the pain. And canned biscuits. Like to me, the trade-off just didn't. Homemade biscuits are great. They're wonderful. I just don't want to go through the steps to do it. Because them out of the hand.
That was probably a bummer. Are you not a Clooney fan? No. I mean... That one was a bummer, though. What did Clooney do? Oh, he did one good one. Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?
Watch it with an open mind.
I just don't want any more of them.
Are you talking about what was he trying to say?
Hold on.
Yes. Yeah. Hey, let's go. Look at Hunter. Let's go to Sonic.
I like Sonic's great first date. Waffle House, great place to ask someone else. Waffle House. There you go. Waffle House cures all.
Everything is right. Boy, you've never struggled with confidence, have you?
He's three-quarter ham.
I'm three-quarter ham.
Oh, man.
Look at that look in his eyes.
Hey, well, that makes sense. She needed a job at 16, man. I would have said 16. So, hey.
I mean, just in church music?
Is that where you got your start?
I like it. She said my daddy.
She said my daddy.
She spelled that daddy with an E. She's country.
She'll be just fine in this room. Hit them with the Chief.
Are you bilingual?
Sy, you're America's favorite uncle. You ain't got to do stuff like that no more, man.
You would have been singing.
Hey, she said book her right now.
Next year, we're going to have you. All right. She was busy all weekend because I was at the press conference deal for Ouachita River Fest, and they announced your name like seven different times. You were all over that.
You just put you a tent up in downtown to stay there. Just hang out.
Your work precedes you, man.
We used to have a guy who worked here that did. Yeah, really? Well, Benny, I mean, it essentially was a tent. He spent way more time outside of his apartment than he did inside.
Yeah, probably.
I want to hear Si try to sing with me.
Sing? That's what I'm talking about. Sing happy birthday to yourself.
That's the first time anybody in my life has ever called me Carrie Underwood. I like you. Well, I mean, you know, I'm way more akin to being Luke.
Always a bridesmaid. And I haven't got past when you said songbird while ago. I've still been replaying that scene from Step Brothers in my mind. Every time I hear it, you're the songbird of my generation. I've been called the songbird of my generation.
That's Fergie and Jesus, man. You touched my drum. Oh, okay. We digress. So we're taking a break to let her get her guitar. We're going to let her.
Yeah, let's take a break. There you go. Listen up, everyone. Do you constantly feel exhausted, weighed down, or struggle to get through the day? The culprit may be right under your nose. And by right under your nose, I mean about not quite halfway down your bottom. There you go. There it is right there. Your liver, your liver. And you know what really made me remember this?

And for that, I say bravo. Okay. Wow.
Yes, sir. My man said gravel. Okay.
Hey, look, I told you I'm fired up. Don't open your presents before Christmas, son. It'll be all right. Birthday was yesterday.
We're buddies now.
There you go. You heard it here first. You heard it here first.
why why change now always hell yeah well actually we just brought her in to sing happy birthday to you so i mean that was the whole thing isn't that nice but hey in the usual term we were talking before that's her little heart oh bless your heart all right that's your little heart but but you so now we all have a mutual friend uh you know we're friends with luke bryan
Hey, Si, look at it this way, man. One day you could open for her. You get back in the music business, you open for Claire.
Well, that's why you go before her. That way you can be long gone by the time she goes.
Don't go after her. That's a problem.
Yeah, he went silent. That's how you know that.
The judge don't even do that.
Cool. Huh? Yeah, we can do it at the end. We can end that way and go out on that.
No, that would be a good way to go out, though.
Oh, well, we're still going to go out with a prayer because we're going to pray over her. She's on the road this much. We're going to pray over her. Not that we're ready to get out of here. We're not even close, which I'm excited about. But I'm just saying, we're going to at least pray over her before we leave, and then she's going to close it with that. This is turning into something.
Girl, the TV didn't do you justice.
Yeah, no, I'm not. But I'm not a critic.
But that was impersonal. Well, I mean, I watched the stuff that you posted and talked about when we were talking about getting her...
seeing if she would be available to be on here so i mean i knew it was there but the power in it when it's sitting right beside you because like i got it through the headphones and i got it right i mean it's right there like so that is man and now i know that she lives on one of my favorite places to fish like oh it's all kinds of this is all kinds of bring your people out oh it's all kinds of good stuff man we got zane over here her husband is in here yeah we did find out uh
And she's married to a man from Nacogdoches, Texas, Zane over here.
My daughter married a Texas man. I'm just curious. The short version. We'll save the boring, but we can even get Zane. Did you find him or he find you? Yeah. Yeah.
It's a classic church meetup.
That's the best place to meet the ladies. His church. Okay. All right. So y'all Baptist? We're Presbyterian. Presbyterian. Okay.
And every other brand of them, right?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Yes, sir. But those kids were always the best spellers.
Yeah, because they had to spell that at an early age. Where do you go to church?
It took a lot out of us. There's some silent letters up in there. I mean, it's unbelievable, man.
Uh-oh.
I'm about to text Luke and say thanks for making her available. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get you.
I wasn't going to say it like that, but...
Centric shut that down with a quickness.
He doesn't own part of the building, but he owns part of one of the companies that operates out of this building. He's a very silent owner, which is the way you want him.
Well, because what you don't realize is no matter what website you visit, account you create or purchase you make, your data is being collected, tracked and sold. So if you want to know, I didn't even sign up for his emails. How do I get them? Well, that's because you did phone another one and then they sold all your stuff off because when you clicked, I agree.
Because you didn't want to take the time to read the terms and conditions. That's in those terms and conditions. But with Identity Guard, you can shut all that down. We are big believers in monitoring your identity, personal information, and credit. And that's what Identity Guard does.

Or Instagram or just in life in general, really.
We'll put a link in the description too. So if you're listening to this on YouTube, we'll make it easy for you. If you're watching on YouTube, which I highly recommend you do if you are just listening to this. There was something to that. Well, you need to see it to understand why we're so dumbfounded. Because, again, I'm sitting here looking at it.
And it still doesn't make sense of what I just heard. So, incredible.
I have never said that to Luke, by the way. The only thing that's incredible about Luke is how... tight of pants he can get into. But... I'm not... I love you, Luke.
When they're on the hanger before he's got to change his wardrobe, I'm like, you're going to get in that? The math doesn't math here. But... You know, he pulls it off. It's talent. You did get three yeses, right?
Yeah, that was automatic. Well, yeah, I was going to have some real trust issues if she didn't, like with the whole process of the show. I still now, after sitting here listening to it, have trust issues, period.
I really couldn't. But they did just have that gospel night on there that I heard did really well, like where they had like a praise and worship night on there.
Yeah, which is really cool, really cool for them to step out and take a chance on a night of faith on there.
That was back in the 1900s.
I think Carrie Underwood is still paying him.
No, you're the first female been on here to talk about this.
Clara's not making any posts that say hashtag proud dog mom.
I'm just going to go ahead and tell you too, next time you want to come back, you don't even have to bring your guitar. You're funny enough to sit in that chair right by itself. So you're good.
Yeah, she said you can't buy stock in her, but all donations are accepted. Talk to my manager's name. We should have put a tip jar. We just had a whole show about tipping not too long ago.
Well, she can sign yours before you leave.
the one you're in not a new one yeah we got we got black and we got silver because what they just had sharpies well they had to walk out what we what i was going to talk about we had uh we do a lot of these make a wish things and we just had one here young kid named noah from north carolina so if you if you feel led folks uh you know just lift noah and his family up um he was not
I'm not sure the exact condition, but anyway, he was not supposed to make it to 17 years old. He's now crowding 18. He lives a fairly normal life as he can. And so still got all the issues, right? But the Lord has been gracious to him and his family and kept him here and keeping his hand over him. So Noah, man, thank you so much for stopping in. That's why I have the Sharpies.
We were signing hats and duck calls and everything.
Have Clara sign it. Hey, a duck call is technically a musical instrument. We can have her sign some of them. Oh, we could make the Clara. Raspi. We could rename the old Raspi.
We could just call it Clara now. Marketing.
Yeah, the problem is this didn't sound very good.
Let's do this, man. I'm ready to get back outside because it's a beautiful weather day, man.
How quickly?
Well, how'd she do it though?
They have over 6,000 plants.
zone eight. Because a lot of people, they get intimidated when you're talking about plants. I don't know anything. I can't do it. I got a black thumb. Everything I get dies. Well, they got you, man. They're going to teach you. They're going to teach you how to do it. They got everything you could know. You can't even begin to know all the stuff that they have right there in the resource center.
Their website has everything you need.
Yes, sir, I do. I play the bass in the band. So any of the band shows, that's where you can find me.
So your husband's part of your band?
That's cool. Are you management, too? I don't take a cut. Are you management, too? Do you book the shows? I'm management in the sense that Clara goes, did I spell that right? And I go, yeah.
Spell it how it sounds.
Yeah, as you get further down this road, you're going to realize there's some weird ways to spell some really common names.
And you always have to ask.
Yeah, I know. I was like, is that with an O? And they're like, oh, that's with an A-E. I'm like, well, hang on. Like, you know, how does that make sense? Make that make sense.
Mr. Jelly Sir.
Yeah, he seems like it. I mean, I don't know him, but he seems like a pretty humble fellow that appreciates the grind and what it all took to get him to where he's at.
I can appreciate that about him.
roll yeah mr roll what a guy we were not besties but the experience i had was nothing but positive yeah that's awesome so like if you had a musical uh what's the word i'm looking for not idol but mentor now mentor or somebody that you're like man that's really cool uh let's just ask you the big question all our fans are going at right now uh t swift or dolly parton oh wow yeah
Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's brilliant.
There ain't no Taylor Swift brownies. That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, nobody's going to Taylorland.
Except for Mr. Kelsey.
Nah, you ain't getting canceled here, girl. This is a safe space here. Who do you look up to, though? Like, musically, influences. I don't really know the right person.
Because, I mean, you hear it and you're like, you know, you go back to size.
heyday almost of like janice joplin and stuff like that and i mean that's all you picked to play was uncle lucius which i'm gonna say i didn't know they're known by people but i don't i wouldn't necessarily say that they're well known perhaps and yeah as far as mainstream goes right like i just i had no idea that they weren't mainstream until recently and i looked up his stuff and i was like
Yeah, and, yeah, they're super talented. Kind of revivalist-esque. A bunch of those guys. But that's why I was wondering. I didn't know if there was one that you were like, yeah, all the stuff they put out is great. Or if you pull from everybody or all that kind of stuff.
Well, we'll talk. We'll talk after this. So if you end up there again, I got some stories on Luke that probably, you know, we can't share here. Yeah, we're not going to share here.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Another quality human. Absolutely. Lainey's great. Yeah, she loves duck hunting.
Yeah, you say the same thing about Luke. I mean, that's one thing. That's why Luke's shows are so good because you can tell he wants to be there. Dude, he's hilarious.
You know, like that's just who he is. And that's why it comes off when you get on stage. And like either you want to be there or you're going to get up there and play your 12 songs and go get back on the bus. And the people figure that stuff out. People aren't as dumb as they like to think they are sometimes. I can dig it. But we are going to get out of here shortly.
What we're going to do, I'm going to... Si asked you to play him a gospel song. And we'll close on that. But before we do, Silas... Well, before we do, where can they find you? Like Facebook, Instagram, all the places? Oh, yeah. All the places. It's Clara Ray. It's Clara Ray.
Yeah, make sure that... Thank you. And like I said, we'll drop a link in all our descriptions to all of that. So in case y'all... Can't find it.
Yeah. That's how you know Zane's running it.
So there it is. It's Clara Ray. But Cy, why don't you, she's traveling a lot. Why don't you cover this young lady and her husband in prayers? They do that. And then we'll get out of here.
With your gospel song. How about that? But you got to have your mic. Yeah, take your hat off. He took his hat off, and he took the mic off. Yeah, we got to be able to hear you, though.
be here yeah paranoia sorry no i can't tell that story anyway that's what i'm talking about and there's a lot more than that one i've been duck hunting with a boy so like it's he's he loves duck hunting too those are some more stories i just recorded with his old bass player james cook jimmy yeah also a local boy yeah he's a monroe guy
Amen. Thank you.
Unreal.
Yeah.
I had this TV show one time, but it was trash.
We got minor league hockey. I'm here forever, y'all. We got a paper mill.
That's what I had to ask her because she kept saying she's from Monroe. I'm like, well, you don't talk like you're from Monroe. Then she fessed up that she got some South Central Arkansas ties. I said, okay, that checks out.
That's where the dialect comes from.
That Sheridan-Fordyce area runs deep in here.
Yeah. Hey, that's where Bear Bryant comes from, though. That's the big sign you pass driving up to Little Rock from here. Home of Coach Bear Bryant. Right? If that's Fordyce, I think. I drove real fast. You ain't never looked at that sign? There's many times you've been through there.
Well, females aren't known for situational awareness. So I'll give you that.
It's right there on 167 whenever you're heading up to Little Rock from here. You get it. I think it's Fordyce is where it's at. And you get to Fordyce and you're going over that little deal right there before you go over that deal to get to the red light to turn and go towards Sheridan. There's a billboard there that says home of Bear Bryant, Paul Bear Bryant.
I've never seen it. Yeah. Y'all got to start paying it. Well, you sleep. You ain't ever driving. There we go. I ain't worried about you.
I was distracted driving before it was cool. I look at all that stuff. A billboard will get me. I'm looking at all that stuff. How does she know where Bucky's is, man?
Oh, yeah, but you go out through the Delta. You don't go through the Piney Woods. You take the slow road out through the Delta. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm looking for the good stuff.
Oh, Ravel.
But a river.
Well, that just means you've spent a lot of your life on 165 then, haven't you?
God bless you. I hate that road. Worst road in America. I hate Highway 165 going to Monroe. Si, you're about to be 77.
Well, Johnny D, you want to introduce our guest? Speaking of country.
Sleep. Sleep, baby. A good sleep.
So look, after 77 years, if you had to recommend one mattress... Where are you going? You know where that is. Over there. Helix Sleep, boys. Yeah, our friends over at Helix Sleep. You heard it here. The man's been doing this for 77 years. He sleeps.
He is. I would be the epitome of a sleep expert, right?
And the best part about Helix, you're getting a mattress made for you. You take a simple quiz. You get matched to a Moonlight, Midnight, Dawn, et cetera. Doesn't matter.
There you go.
We've all got Helix mattresses. The Unashamed guys have them. Sadie has one. They are seriously the best. Johnny D's mother-in-law has even got one since. Like, I'm just telling you, like, they work. You're going to love it.

He was at the local Honky Tonks.
That's perfect. Yeah, see?
We're going to talk about a Duck Commander logo on your sleeve or something.
We'll figure it out. Hold on.
What was it?
It's like, come see Uncle Si. I brought you by and sure.
And I know one thing, I can't do it. So,
So musically, you're left-handed?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't have that.
Oh, so you're the exact opposite of all that stuff when people get nervous.
She redheaded, wouldn't she?
Oh, my Lord. Yeah. I didn't know Cy could lock up. That's funny.
I've never seen that side.
It's when it ain't going right that it gets hard.
Yeah, oh, it happens.
We have a guest.
I expect that if you've had a good, decent hunt.
I got to know, because me personally.
Do you ever get mad?
Okay. If you punch the bear.
100%.
Hey, some of them can't take it.
It runs some people's game.
Because they can't take it and, hey, that's the one you want because you're going to poke him big time.
Why would I get mad? They just do it more.
If you can't take it, no.
You don't want to play in our game if you can't take it. Yeah. You can't get stuck, boy.
Yeah, before the game turned. Yeah.
It used to be a decent game when you'll buy it for $20.
We all need to be hospitalized.
Hold on. Like Fart Machine? Fart Man.
Oh, no, no. I said.
No, no. They laughed because I said, oh, he's obnoxious. Oh, just obnoxious.
Is he obnoxious or noxious?
No, this guy was named right.
Why people go around doing something? No, no, no, no. I know Fartman. Here's the deal. I don't invite him to my poker game.
This is worse than that. If you take fish and put them in the sun. Oh, God.
Oh, I'm serious. It's worse than fish that's been out in the sun for two weeks.
Yeah, yeah. Probably won't ever get it back.
Yeah.
What are they brand new about?
I think so. It's just about, uh,
We don't know who's saying what. Yeah.
On the ground, in other words. Thank you. It's in the good old U.S. of A.
I salute you, Pure Talk.
Keep it going.
Homegrown, boys.
Our Ben, our Benjamin.
They don't set them, but no.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, and I know it happens cause I've, uh, my dad, mom, you know, I'm a, you know, I get cold now. It felt so easy.
Because I come in another day and sat down and I said, Christine, you got the stupid air conditioner on? She said, yeah. I said, turn that cap off, turn the heater on.
She said, you cold? I said, yeah, I'm cold.
Well, no, no, because normally as soon as I get out of the bedroom, it's flipped. Got to. She wanted them with 15 blankets.
Well, no, because it's always the weight.
You gotta have the weight.
No, no, you gotta have the weight.
When I go take a nap in the afternoon, the old Christine says, why don't you get comfortable? I say, I am comfortable.
Oh, we all got our quirks.
Hey, we got our quirks. Everybody's got theirs.
Oh.
That was bad. It looked like Al got stuck in between two trees, finally just tore the door open.
Too many Jacobs.
That's right. You're in control.
And you're talking about flavor.
The longer you sip it, the more flavor.
There was two. It actually comes from a weed, gypsum weed.
The only difference is I actually went out and picked a peach off a tree. I ate a big bite, and the only difference is, okay, when I bit into it, I had juice running through my beard.
And it'll just stop you. Allison's new car is like a spaceship. It's going to tell you when you fix it.
I met evil eye. He goes, how's it going, John David? They call me evil eye. He stuck a stick in his eye. Oh, he's blind in one eye. Yeah. So that's when Phil, that's what Phil hung on the first time he met him.
I sold on John Michael Montgomery.
He's always wanted to talk about the Church of Christ.
76 by 48?
Them was Fit Lulu.
Yeah.
Well, that's because I was going to buy something. Then I realized I couldn't afford it. I thought they were pulling my leg.
Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was a joke. that you sold other people's stuff yeah for lack of a better term those old stuff and i said and he makes a living at it he makes a good living at it yeah i'm super blessed no doubt hey so why why why
If it's a gated community in Barkingville, it's swanky.
Hey, these guys flip telephone poles for fun.
Oh, a lot of stuff.
You're talking about that. We filmed for three weeks on Mardi Gras.
The last episode. And they didn't run none of that. Three solid weeks froze our butt off riding around.
We need that footage. We actually got down.
Yeah, because I was freezing my butt off. I said, I'll fix it. to get warm. So we did. But my favorite episode was when me and Willie was handcuffed together.
I need to watch that. Yo, I looked at him, and all I did, we'd been filming all day, and this had about this much tin. I said, hey, Willie, guess what? I showed Eldon up. He said, oh, no, you. I said, oh, hell yes, I did. I said, I got to go take a leak, yo. He said, no, yo, don't. I literally dragged him by the deuce that I have. And they got the camera on us.
And I'm going, oh, and Willie said, you stupid idiot, you just peed on my hand. I said, well, get it out of the way. He said, no, you need to get rid of that tea glass. I said, oh, no, I'm going to hold my tea glass. I said, you just need to move your hand and get it out of the way, stupid. That was a good one. The cameras, they all had to stop because the cameras were shaking. It was hilarious.
And that's a lot of fun. Yeah. It's fun. Most grandmas, Or a hoot.
No, no, because see, that's one of my pet peeves. I didn't get to know either one of my grandfathers.
And that has always just set me on fire.
Because, y'all, I've met other people's grandfathers and grandpas and grandmas are a hoot. Especially when they're from Balkanville. They've lived a life.
Yeah. They're all little hustlers, all those Mayos. Well, hey, yeah, that's the right word, hustlers.
Hey, he handles the business. Talk to that man right there. He handles this.
I've known the man for all my life. And look, we just seen when he was chewing my butt for screwing up. I felt so bad.
Are you a Mr. Rep or a Mr. Official guy?
Oh, Thunder. I didn't know Thunder Thighs. Hey, why not with your welcome to the family with a joke? That's what I'm saying.
He can take it and he can give it. Oh, yeah.
That's the first thing I noticed when we started filming.
Because I'm always riding them.
He's the only one that really just say, okay, you want to go that route, old man? Okay, here we go.
But it's one of them about, like, when he said, well, you know, because – Because what?
I've been involved in.
You're looking at it and saying, this ain't going to do nothing.
But then they put it together, and then you look and say, that was pretty funny.
Yeah, so it's one of them oxymorons is what I call it. It may not look good, but then when they throw it on television, it is good.
No, no, because that was like Epp's dad. You know, Epp is editing some of our footage.
Epp used to be an editor? He's looking at it, and he said, hey he said man that's pretty good camera work son he said you made it look like they killed every one of them and they helped live and he said dad they did kill every one of them yeah 25 coming down
Yeah, that don't happen anymore.
Yeah, we're lucky to get five.
Yeah. I got Anna a bread cooker.
Oh, I am. I think we are. I mean, I would call us at least acquaintances after our conversation yesterday. That's awesome. He was nice and cordial and hats off to the state of Arkansas trying to do the right thing when it comes to boating accidents because they have them every year up there on public grounds.
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's why. I think that's why they were so concerned with it. A, to make sure, too, it wasn't on their property because it never says where. Yeah, I didn't say it. Yeah, it wasn't on public land. It was on private. I didn't say it. I just heard it. Yeah. It was nice. He was cordial.
But, boy, when you get that text message doing what we do for a living, I was like, oh, boy.
Yeah, and I'm unemployed.
Oh.
Well, next time, holler at me. I know your username and password.
Yeah. Well, I got your log in. I had fun when I made it and never dreamed I'd have to call customer service to get it activated last year. Whoops. It's a clever username. I'll just say that. That's it. It ends with some numbers. Oh, boy. And good numbers. Yeah. It ends with some numbers because I was just having fun. 316 and 17. He was on the phone.
Once it goes wrong. And it wouldn't let him get it. Yeah, once you get in them systems wrong, that's a problem. It's a problem.
Yeah. We finally got it done. Well, and that's the other thing. When he's like, I need to talk to you about Uncle Si, I was like, what did Si do? That stuff was such old news to me. I was like, what did Si do?
Agreed. That's true. Yeah, I'm cool with that. Just go get a card, whatever it is.
Yeah, you should have a hard card. It just says when they pull up on you and say, I'm proud.
Oh, so you went and run it back again. Yeah.
I do what I want.
Yeah, for next to nothing, yeah.
Yeah. But anyway, so that was my interaction with him, but very nice people. So AGFC, my hat's off to you.
Yeah.
yeah i started looking around because like on the property i was hunting i knew you know there's this bald eagle that harasses the ducks and i'm like what what has happened here like what where's that eagle why did one of us like shoot a duck and the eagle was in the background and somebody's looking at it like i don't even know what has happened i'll tell you what old pr he could pick a game more than i have a crowd
Oh, okay.
No, that's it. You're in there. Locked in.
Well, it's going to require that man to put on a headset.
And I said, we are in a bind. Forehead's fine. Mustache, bigger deal.
I don't think that would have turned out in his favor.
Yeah.
No, that's pretty much basic. That's gun safety. That's like the first thing in gun safety.
Treat every gun as if it's loaded.
Oh, old Remington. Yeah. Like a .722 or something.
Yeah.
Oh, okay. Yeah, you could have left if you had to.
Pull the old Matt Dillon.
Uh-oh.
Hey, you know what you call him.
duck boy he's a duck boy he could probably run with that crew to be fair and hey emphasis in training but we talk about it every night before because i think for his birthday we're gonna carter the duck boy 410 it up and oh i'm taking that boy duck hunting mainly because i want to be part of the documentary they make about him when he becomes president yeah i want that story to make it like no carter going duck hunting
We're going to go shoot him a prime.
No, we're going to get him a sweet tasting blue wing teal. We're going in September when it's nice and warm.
We're just in case if he were to fall, you know, the water ain't cold or nothing like that. So just in case. You want him to have a pleasurable experience. In fact, him going dove hunting may not be a bad thing. Like out there in the wide open sitting there.
Yeah, just chilling. That's the cool part of dove hunting is it's very low key. You don't really, you ain't got to hide. You can sit there and talk. You got your chair. Everything happens out there.
Oh yeah, you can do it.
Old Killer.
Old Killer.
I hope somebody says that about me one day. Mine got fixed. You had one gonad the size of that pair of bongo drums. Yeah, I wasn't far from it that one time. But I got that issue resolved. Oh, man.
Yeah.
Man alive.
What's that?
I really don't understand how doodles catch on.
You got one?
How'd you end up with two of them?
Yeah, when I dropped Jared off at your house. Some big white... Well, he used to be white.
Yeah, he just... I mean, he looked around like... I could just see it in his eyes. It like... He didn't seem that intelligent. No, he's not. He's not. You know how you just look at a dog and you're like, yeah, that one right there ain't much. I mean, I've seen them before.
I mean, I used to look at him and it's like, well, the rock rolled that way, the rock rolled that way.
But your healer was tight.
Yeah.
Oh, I just remember as a kid, whenever you'd be driving down the road, there used to be a thing around here. You don't see them much anymore. But a flatbed with a gooseneck with a blue healer that he would run from side to side while everybody going down the road. That was Mountain Man. No, that wasn't him. I mean, that old buddy, that dog took on the personality of his owner, buddy.
Ah, that's funny. But that was one of them core memories from my childhood. Flatbeds with Blue Heeler. And I used to love seeing them.
Just like a human.
That's why that cartoon's so good, man. Everybody love a Blue Heeler.
Yeah.
Si, you going to have another cat after Sweet Pea? No. That's it?
Don't y'all live together?
You know, Christine said that I'll say the same thing about you. Well, no, no. That cat's a lot of problems.
I did it. 318-215-6559. Leave Uncle Si and crew a voicemail.
Oh, wow. Okay.
Oh, no.
Yeah, he got shot at some point. He got steel in his head. Yeah, he got shot.
Oh, we did that.
Oh yeah. Yeah. We did that as kids. Yeah. We had to, we had to pop a few of them out of us.
Oh, the worst one I ever had was actually my own father, um, ringing my ears. I mean like, but it was so close. It just was, I mean, he was really close to, to clipping me cause we were in a pit blind duck hunting and, um, One of them windy days, and I said, kill him through the flaps. And I stood up at 6'4".
And he did not at 5'10". So it was just brutal. I mean, but it was like one of them real cold days. Like, you didn't really want to get up in the wind. I get why he sat down. but we should have had a discussion about are we sitting or are we standing? Like you can shoot sitting down as long as everybody stays sitting down.
But with one up and one down, so it was really poor communication. But, buddy, I mean, it scared him so bad he never went again after it. And it hurt me so bad. I mean, it was like – close to a week before my hearing adjusted to without some kind of ringing or muffledness to it.
20 yards. Woody come between him and us, and that old boy grabbed that shotgun and threw up, and I just grabbed his shotgun and went like that. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
No. Maybe. I mean, I don't know. He ain't around us, no. Oh, wow.
And them things are hotter than you think they are. They're hotter and they're sharper than you think they are.
I've done that a lot, though, for people, like knocking shotgun barrels out of the way of close calls. Clay, I've done it for him several times. When you do...
Well, when we take people duck hunting, and that's when that happened. That's when they've happened with Clay. When you take people, as soon as I have guests, I'm no longer hunting. I'm eyes on whatever's going. I'll call the shot. I'll call the ducks in. But once that happens, I don't stand up to shoot. I just, I sit there and I watch.
And I just, I'm making sure that everybody around there is as safe as they can be.
Ooh, yeah, that's tight. Yeah. That's, that's crazy.
I mean, I think I'm about two years on that clock. I try to keep a running tally of when I have to reset to the last time I crapped my pants clock.
No, I just can't do it. No, I realize I'm like security at that point. Like I'm just sitting back. Y'all kill them.
Honestly, it's one of the reasons I prefer to hunt not in a duck blind. Because the duck blind, while comfortable and convenient, is the most dangerous place of duck hunting. If you're just standing out there in the woods, I can keep them in front of me and I'm behind them and everything's good. Life is good because I can see everything that's happening at that point.
Yeah, it can fall. But it's amazing, even still with the notches, some people manage to miss them. And you just hear it coming, and you know what it is before the shotgun ever hits the ground. And it's like you're just running for your life trying to get away from it. Yeah, which way is it falling from? Which way? Let me get off the front of this shooting porch.
Because you know it's coming straight down the line. Oh, yeah.
Texas. There you go.
Worsher. That's a cool word.
Yeah, well, we need somebody with some prior knowledge. Yeah, 50 could tell you.
How can I use it to pick up girls? Just tell them you're a gunshot survivor. I don't know. You ought to see the other boy. They shot me in the face. I'm still here.
I got nothing.
It's called a scalpel.
Yeah. I don't know.
He's an expert. You heard that, Hunter?
Oh, Lord.
Double jeopardy.
Oh, yeah. I tried to do that the other day after hunting. I tried to, you know, I went to go take a leak and... that wanted to happen. And I was like, nope, nope. So then, you know, I was like, I just had to zip back up real quick. So, cause it don't matter how you slice it. A little crap is a big deal. You know, like, I mean, like whether it's the full bore or just a little bit, it's a big deal.
I'm saying for not having to stop at a restaurant. I've always said it. Like, okay, I'm going down to Interstate. I don't want to get off an hour out of my way to go to someplace such as Country Tavern. Country Tavern's better than Bucky's. 100% it is. But it's not convenient for me. So for a convenient barbecue... What was her name? Vanessa? Jennifer. Jennifer. Way off, man. Wow. Jennifer.
Man, I really missed that one.
Yeah, locally that you can go purchase in... North Louisiana.
Yeah, I ain't been there.
So maybe it's not better than Jax. That's our top tier. But the rest of them can confirm that. It is better than all of those here. That brisket taco is pretty doggone good. Yeah, I don't know what she's talking about.
I also see where Jennifer probably gets her overall lippiness going.
Yeah. You spent a lot of time with your aunt, didn't you, Jennifer? Mm-hmm. All right.
Yeah. Well, Jennifer, let me just confirm. We love you too. But isn't it a good thing that Bucky's left Texas? No, that's part of it. I know. The overarching madness is that they left Texas.
Yeah. Yeah, she's just mad they left Texas. She probably hates Whataburger now, too.
Thank you. Again, I've never said it's not like you know, going to, you know, meet church's place and eating brisket. Like it ain't that good, but I mean, it's good.
They can be in a fight, but I'm a big fan of Texas barbecue in general, salt, pepper, garlic.
Too much vinegar. Too much vinegar, too much mustard.
I love vinegar, but they overdo it. But see, that's the beauty of it is everybody can have their own. I just like Texas. I like salt, pepper, garlic. I like it simple. Showcase the meat. That's what I like about it. Show me your skill set on cooking the meat. Don't dress it up with nothing. The meat.
Yeah, I'm not that tied to any of that.
Yeah. Just show me what you got. Just smoke the meat, man. That was fun. Oh, yeah. She fired up now. Oh, she was good. Yeah, she fired up. All right. Oh, yeah.
That's trash, yeah.
Well, you know, they eat their own. You think she did?
That's all that was. Yeah, that'd be fine.
Hey, look, I bought briskets from the same place and done them myself.
same they everything not all cows are created equal not everyone you slice a brisket off of is going to be perfect yeah like that's just that's part of it like you know well a lot of people don't realize you got to dress brisket up when you buy it and by dressing it up i mean you've got to trim it off yeah but some of them just feels like the cow had a little bit tougher life than
Not all deer are created equal.
Yeah, man.
I ain't against a little cowboy bubble gum though. Okay.
I like that fat ring if it's rendered right. Oh yeah. Oh.
Tear your, tear your belly up. But boy, it'll, this show is good.
Yeah, but hey. No, you got to wash them. No, you got to find dry ground and come all the way out of them. In a hurry. Chunk them. Chunk the waders? Chunk them. I ain't ever done it in waders, so I don't know. Me neither. I did on top of my wallet one time.
Oh, okay. Welcome back to the duck call room. I bet it ain't but one fire.
Yeah, y'all chose that path for them. You chose that path.
Yeah.
There you go. Yeah, your mom, man. We will lift her up. I'm glad to hear she's responding well to treatment. Everybody listening, we'll ask them to do that. What's their name? Janelle? Janelle. Yeah, y'all keep Janelle.
Amen. Yeah. Well, Dustin, man, y'all keep your mom's head up. Keep fighting. Be there for her. Do whatever you can do for her. And, yeah, good luck with naming your kids Cy and Jace. None of them have had each other.
No, I'd have been way closer to, like, Whatta and Burger. Whatta and Burger, boy. No, no, mm-mm. I mean, I love them. I love both of them dearly. for two totally different reasons. But I never thought of naming them after him.
You didn't get them all the way down. Well, I had my wallet back there in my back pocket, and it fell out.
Surprisingly, I'm not the only one that's done that. So I actually know another guy that did it.
Oh, but you're getting in a bind. You better go. That was the day I quit carrying my wallet duck up.
You used to have to have your duck stamps and all that stuff on you. But the game wardens and everybody caught up to the 21st century. So as long as you got your phone, you can show them you got everything. There's no reason to take your wallet duck hunting anymore.
Welcome back to the Duck Call Room, ladies and gentlemen. What are we doing? Y'all said we were going to do something different. So what are we doing?
That's what I said. He's the nerdy redneck, and he's the redneck-y nerd. It's the best. Yeah, he captures a big circle.
Oh, that's at the end.
I spent the last day of duck season with one of the duck boys, a little one-on-one time with Mr. Mayo.
We're going to have to bring him in here. He's an interesting cat.
Well, you know, the companies were founded off of the duck men. Well, before you become a man, you're a boy. They're boys. In every aspect of the word. They're boys. They're duck men in training. And so for the colloquial term is duck boys or buck boys.
Oh, we're kind of winging it. But no, we're back. It's the end of hunting season. Everything's gone. I'm sure our wives are thrilled.
Willie's son-in-law. All Willie's son-in-law. And they're friends.
He could be anywhere from 35 to 65. That's a while. He's got an eclectic attitude. I don't put him in the duck boy category. No, because he's been raised around the outdoors his whole life. Yeah. No, he don't drive no buses. What are you talking about? He sells other people's used stuff.
Jacob Mayo?
No.
It's over, baby.
Yeah.
He said one, two, nine, two.
Yeah. Yeah. He wasn't raised over here.
That's a lot, though. I mean, as long as he wasn't naked. But why is your door open? Well, probably like me, you walked in there with a handful of stuff. And you just kind of pushed it behind you. You ain't had time to go back yet. Maybe he was having an emergency and had to have a change of clothes.
I mean, you get in a hurry. You don't stop and check the fine print. For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.
We're back. It's time to atone for the last three months. Yeah. The duck season, diamond season is here now. So, yeah, you go find something, get your woman. Pro tip, guys, if you're listening to this. If you have something like that, I call it a diamond. It doesn't have to be a diamond, but something thoughtful.
They didn't stop at just creating the pillow. They've made the best bed sheets ever too, man.
And I don't know what to tell you. I mean, the sheets, they look, they feel great, all the things, which means an even better night's sleep for all of us, which is crucial for a man like Cy.

I appreciate what happened to me yesterday because of you.
Well, I got a text from the head of enforcement for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission that said, hey, Mr. Martin, I really need to talk to you when you get some time. Thanks. The head of Arkansas Game and Fish? Enforcement. Did you run? No, but I did stop and look around since I was in the state of Arkansas. I was like. What's going on here? What are we trying to talk about?
And how did you get my cell phone number? Apparently, those guys are very... Resourceful. Crafty.
So, I mean, they could have went to my account and done everything. But I was like, man, what have I done? Like, did my auto renew not go through? Like, is this some kind of weird technicality? Yeah, I was just like... We're about to have to make free Justin Martin t-shirts. Yeah, I was like... but you're not going to say no. I said, yeah, man, I'm out hunting. Can I call you when I get done?
He was like, yeah, absolutely. Perfect. Let me get you for what you do wrong. Yeah. Good luck. And I'm like looking around. I'm like drones above you. Oh man. What are we doing here? But no, since size, a little boating mishap, made it all the way to our friends over at Fox News. Are you serious? Oh, yeah. High five.
I didn't say that. That's why I said it doesn't. But that's just the generic term I use for it. I'll get her something saying, thanks for being a good sport.
Yeah. Slip, fail, ended up on Fox News. So then his boss... was like, I see where Si Robertson had a boating accident in Arkansas. We need a report on the accident. Cause like you're supposed to report all boating accidents in the state of Arkansas. They're under a lot of scrutiny because like Arkansas public there's, there's all kinds of boat races and people getting hurt and all that.
So they, they catch a lot of scrutiny for that. So he wanted to know all about Si's incident. And I was like, I just started dying out laughing. And he was like, what? I mean, I don't understand what's funny. And I was like, sir, sir, we were parked at the boat ramp and he slipped getting out of the boat.
And he said, he said, really, that's it? I said, yeah, yeah, that's pretty much it. Like he's old and he's clumsy and he busted his butt. He said, boy, if you read that article, he said, you wouldn't gather that from it. And I said.
A big dang hurry, a BDH, that's what it is.
oh my god but i i will say this look my hat's off to the arkansas game and fish people because he was very cordial he was just doing his job and then i ended up talking to him for probably another 30 minutes just about ducks and he's a nerd too like typical silas robertson yeah i got that quote man you got a quote like somebody give me a blue check mark author no um
I wouldn't be quoted on Fox News.
My favorite part.
Yeah, y'all wouldn't even hear. It's just me and Phillip talking, apparently. Sorry about that, y'all. Bunch of pictures of Corey and Willie on red carpets, too. Well, because then they tied it back into, oh, by the way, Duck Dynasty's coming back. I mean, you know. Then there's a bunch of medicines for old people.
You'd be all right. You can make it. Think all that money you're saving on food now, Sam.
Yeah, yeah. Thanks a lot. They're comparing you to Joe Biden now. Yeah, yeah. There he is, boy. Hey, but he does eat a lot of ice cream, too. He does. Black Walnut. Yeah. No, it was just funny. But he was very cordial, very nice. And now I have his cell phone number and he has mine. So I'm not sure. You can go shoot like a person up there now. No. No. No. Why? Now he can track me.
What'd you call me?
Look, me and him, we're going down the second slew one time and he's just wide open with that 35, you know, and he's got that 16 gauge and a duck, and I can say this since he's gone now, that duck's coming flying back up, up, up, up. And we're going down and he, look, he never took his hand off that throttle. He took one hand with that 16, I said, now that's a man that can shoot right there.
Can't prosecute him now. Well, hey, one of my favorite sayings was, he said, Owens, when we get to heaven, it's going to be virgin timber. And he said, Ducks, no problem, no limits, and guess what? No game wardens.
I would love to see that reunion right there because he was mean as a snake. Yeah. Tell me how you did it.
Well, hey, you know, and I love laughter because, you know, I filled it to everybody that I know. I can't think of a common denominator, but all the people that I love, they all make me laugh. And when I think about Phil and getting surrounded by those angry ducks, now that's something to laugh about right there.
Mary posted the other day, there you go.
Well, Mary posted a thing yesterday that somebody had given her, and it's a picture, an AI picture of Jesus and Phil, and Phil meets Jesus. Look, in the comments now, no lie, somebody said, is that real or AI? I said, no, it's real. Jesus came back yesterday.
Amen.
Amen.
Yeah, rarely would a man die for somebody, but for a good one, someone might dare to die. But Jesus died for us when we were at our absolute worst.
Actually, it says there, it says, when you were his ungodly enemies, that's when he said, I'll die for you. Ain't that crazy?
Ain't that crazy?
Amen.
You know, Cy, when you said that, I think about Pilate said that. He said, you know, I could take you, and you don't even know what I could do to you. It could be so bad. And Jesus said this, you have no authority except what my Father has given you. Oh, man, what a line.
And thank God he will. He has the power to hold everything under his control. That even means when a nuclear, when that thing splits and blows up, he said, oh, no, I just pinched that off. No, it ain't going nowhere.
Hey, look, when you're talking about Judas and Peter say, I mean, Jesus saying, do what you came to do. So he betrays Jesus, but then Peter basically does the same thing. Oh, no. There was two different responses. Now, they both, it says, they wept bitterly and they were remorseful, both of them. Here's the difference. Judas took care of matters in his own hands. Peter said, I got to find Jesus.
And then Jesus sets up an encounter with Peter. I love it because when Peter betrayed Jesus, he was standing over a campfire. How many times you stood over a campfire and you know that smell, and every time you smell it, then all of a sudden your memory goes back to other fires you've Well, Jesus sets up an encounter to bring Peter back. Guess what? Over a campfire.
I don't think that was any coincidence. All of a sudden, now Peter runs, gets out in the water, swims ashore, gets there, and Jesus got that fire going. What do you think the first thing Peter thought of? Uh-oh. Yeah. And I betrayed him. That smell. Everything came back to him. But you know, Jesus didn't leave Peter there, and he doesn't leave us there. Right.
He says, I'm going to bring you back home right now. Come on. Do you love me? No, really. Do you love me? Come on. And in that moment, Peter was broken and said, I'll never do this again. And I will die for this man.
That was very theological.
Exactly.
Well, it says you're right.
Winston's.
Somebody shot my hand to a board one time with a nail gun, and that hurt. But you know what? It was over that quick. But somebody pounded it in with a... Yeah, just laying there, just beating it. With a big stone hammer.
You know, so when you said that to people come up to say, hey, I lost you. You lost your brother or you lost your friend. And I'm like, oh, we didn't lose him. We know where they're at.
And he was continually doing it. I mean, I'll never forget how many times he said, Owens... When I'm gone, don't cry for me.
Oh, God. You're talking about Latin and Greek, and Phil was an English scholar. Oh, yeah. He's got a master's degree in English. One thing I told him, I said, I don't know anything but English, and most of that I learned from Sesame Street, like conjunction, junction, what your function is.
I learned, and the cool thing about that is that in 1 John, Jesus makes a vehicle to take us back to being right with God, and that vehicle is confession. He said, confess your sins. and I'll forgive you. And then there's that other conjunction, and he said, and purify you. So not only is he forgiving us, he's cleaning us up every day. So we can stand before him.
He looks at you, Cy, and me and says, oh, those are my perfect sons. I'm like, did you miss what I did yesterday? He said, I didn't miss a thing. But because your older brother decided to pay the price for you, I see you as I see him.
You brought Jesus down? No, he brought himself down.
I believe that's what we call Christmas. Yeah, Mr. Elder Man. You know, when I do things like that, you know what God says? I hear this voice. When I say stuff like that, he'll say like, hey, little man, who do you think you are? Yeah. Because they were trying to be in control.
Well, what you said, you said earlier the word deity and and in Colossians, it says all the fullness of deity lives in bodily form. Jesus. And then it says this. And that same fullness now lives in you.
You got an upgrade, right?
First class.
I think that's number three.
Yeah, that's enough.
Yeah, well, the...
I've been thinking a lot about... how short this life really is, losing two people that I love very dearly. And the one thing that keeps coming to my mind is that grief is the payment that we make for love. And I love these two men very dearly. Phil was a friend of That really taught me what a friend was. And he was always there. And when I say always, you can't say that about a lot of people.
But there was never a time that I didn't, if I needed him, that he wouldn't have been right there. And he was. And me for him. Because this friendship that we have was actually stronger than even being a brother. And that's hard to fathom because I just, like I say, lost my brother too. But the friendship I had with Phil was... There's no words. Amazing. That's not even a good word.
I mean, it's just it's indescribable how you can actually almost know somebody's thought other than your wife. But I would know things that he was fixing to do. He would know things that was fixing to do. And this is the stupidest. Thing ever I'm going to say right now about the first memory that comes to my mind.
Me and him are sitting down there at George Franklin's place because he had land right next to ours. And we thought because it was 200 yards away that it was better duck hunting.
They were going to Franklin's. I don't know. So we get George to let us build a blind over there. And me and him spent one whole duck season, just me and him and that blind. I mean, everybody else had gave up on the whole thing. But he said, Owens, I know they're coming. I know they're coming. So look, we're in the line one day and these teal came over.
And I mean, we hadn't seen ducks in a long time. They came over and did a boom, boom, boom. And I sat there for a second. I said, how many did you get? He looked at me. He said, Owens, when somebody says that, that means they didn't get any. I got four. I said, you only had three shots. He said, I got four.
So, yeah, you know, besides the fact of telling me, showing me what a friend was, he really gave me a – a security about my salvation and realizing that if God could take a heathen like Phil, he could take a heathen like me and I could be, in fact, a son of God. And so the things that he showed me in life were amazing. He never did it in a way that was pushy to me. It was just matter of fact.
Yeah, we are imperfect men following a perfect safety.
Amen. You know what? It was a pretty big risk that he took on us, Cy, to choose us. I'm like, are you sure? No, no.
Amen.
Hey, I want to tell you, I was just thinking about that exact thing at the premiere here in Monroe, Louisiana. After it was over with, I was sitting right there by him. I said, wow, this is going to touch a lot of people. I'm really proud that you did this. He said, Owens, he said, it's so embarrassing that I treated Jesus like I did and that he still loved me.
And when he said that, I was just like, I didn't know what to say. No, no.
But he had become so sensitive to the fact, even as he got older, about who he was and what he did to Jesus, and Jesus still accepted him.
I tried a lot of stuff to blow my mind, and this is the one thing that actually really blew my mind. That was my past life, by the way.
oh well the other uh real quick i know we're about probably out of time but the other day when i went to see him about two weeks ago and um they said mac you probably won't remember you now and uh i started telling him some more stories and he was just he was sitting there and i told him one story in particular he just raised his head up and he took his hand and he put it on top of mine and he just went
And we laugh about that because it is almost actually funny. It's comical that he would choose us.
We were so bad. That's what the problem was.
This is Philippians chapter 1, 13 and 14. For he rescued us from the dominion of darkness, rescued from the dominion of darkness, and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of all our sins. Jesus Christ rescued us. From everything bad we've ever done. And then he says, because of your evil behavior, you're once my enemies.
But now, oh, I love it when he says, but, but now you are holy in my sight. And I was called a lot of things in my past life. Holy wasn't one of them. But now the creator of the cosmos and Phil's words would say, that's my holy son, Mac. And now I presented him perfect to the father. Go read Philippians chapter one. It'll be worth your while. Thank you so much, Mac.
Look, I just heard when you said that, I just heard Phil say, you idiot. You idiot.
You know, that's interesting that you say that, Cy, because most of the time, or many people think about God the Father being the one that created everything. But it says in John that everything that was made was made by and through Jesus. Right. And then it says he's the word, right? And so I love that because all God the Father had to do was say the word. All he said was Jesus.
And then all of a sudden things started. It was like, boom.
Amen. Here's the cool thing about that.
What you just said is what it says in 1 Corinthians, that he now speaks through us as we were his ambassadors.
You know what ambassadors do? They speak on behalf of the one who sent them.
So we're now speaking on behalf of, as Phil would say, the creator of the cosmos, and he trusts us. Can you believe that? He trusts us?
Oh, man. Look at there. I went to the hospital last week and they checked my heart, man. And they said, you have the cholesterol of a 20-year-old. You know what I said? Give me some bacon. Yeah. Hey. Hey, you know, I will say one thing, you know, I'll never forget going with Phil when he said, Owens, I think, yeah, you know, I knew him for almost 40 years.
He never called me Mac one time in my life. My name is Owens. Yeah. So he said, Owens, I think somebody's running our hoop notes out there. I said, well, what do you want to do? He said, oh, we're going to talk. But when he said that, he picked up his Bible and his Browning 16-gauge shotgun.
And so that Brownie would be sitting across his lap, but he'd always pull the Bible out first. But I tell you what, what I loved about that, he was like, you boys don't have to steal from me because you are stealing from my family right now. But if you need something to eat, I will give you some fish right now.
Here we go.
You have some fantastic fishing stories.
We need to go on a fishing excursion sometime soon. Oh, I'm taking him fishing next week. Oh, man.
Oh, man. He's got them crocs on. Oh, he loves a good pair of slip-ons.
That's the most supervisor stance I've ever seen out of Si.
You say you're not tough, but you actually might be.
You need a good credit score. First car I ever bought, they laughed at me.
Had to call my mom to co-sign.
That's how I learned about credit.
It's important. Get it high.
Did you invite him on?
I don't think I was necessarily cut out for the military, but I would have liked to have done it with you, sir.
I don't ask. Whenever I was running with Willie, I met a lot of people.
And I had a rule. If you're going to get a, like, hey, man, can I have a picture with you? I'm Willie's assistant. And be that guy.
It had to be worth getting fired over. Yeah.
if willie looked at me and said hey idiot you can't be doing that you're fired i had to be okay with that photograph so who who so i have one which one is that i've shown it on this podcast before that the john daly one no oh that one that one's worth getting fired john daly and i'm i'm gonna just pull this one up and we're just gonna start naming people in the photograph if i can there's a couple people in this one
He said, hey, I like this guy. You want a picture? And I was like, yes, sir. No, this one's a little different.
We got Bill Clinton, Justin Timberlake, Larry the Cable Guy, Willie. That guy was the catcher for the Cubs. What was his name?
The Allstate guy, Alfonso, and this lady, and me. I was like, I'll get fired for this one.
That one beats the Ellen DeGeneres photo. Yeah, that's a... She took the world's most famous selfie and I topped it because hers didn't have a president in it.
Aren't you good at golf?
Weren't you good at golf?
I'm not waking up.
Over at twitch.com slash Uncle Si.
He's telling a story about a video game now.
Are those videos I sent you over the past? Yeah, that was anything Stone had ever sent me. Coming up from the phone.
Well, luckily, with Fast-Growing Trees, it's not that much work.
That's what makes it so easy.
I've been to the doctor already. I sneezed blood. I think I have a sinus infection. My eyeball could fall out of my face at any moment. We'll see what happens.
Look at this.
You spun in circles after you hit the ball?
The fact that you're not in Happy Gilmore 2 is a travesty on this nation.
The 300-yard drive.
Best $100 I ever made. Get some of Willie's money. Went all the way to Lake Tahoe to get me $100.
I quit when I got a job because it takes too much time.
I was playing in college, and I was like, now I got a job. When am I supposed to do this?
I got a phone call. I got a phone call about you just the other day. What? Somebody was offended. Uh-oh, no. I offended somebody? No, I offended them by trying to fact check your...
But Willie's also just dumb enough to be like, hey, Steph Curry, you want to get in a three point competition? I once won a church league.
And Willie's like, I got you. You're on my court. That's what he did. That's basically what he did to Bubba Watson. Yeah.
I'll drive you.
You know what's funny? I can confirm Martin quit playing golf because his bag is in my garage.
kentucky lake dam story with the catfish the size of volkswagens oh i got a phone call he said hey you need to watch out he's telling the truth my dad was on the boat when they came up i'm like this world is too small yeah the dude right whoever was part of that we have somebody from kentucky calling me well no no it was a government thing okay
He was a preacher for so long.
Wow.
Duck hunting with Jace.
The only guide around is Godwin.
Oh, yeah. That sucker's busy.
His big old bald head getting sunburned. He needed a sombrero type hat.
A straw hat. Miss Paula walked in and said, what you doing here? She goes, John sent me to get a hat.
Hunter brought actual mail.
Letters from fans.
Real mail. Oh, we do have a box. Oh, yeah. Oh, hey, Si, remember that mustard we ordered off Amazon?
Toothpaste mustard for you, my friend.
Why does your buddy Russ know so much about Gorowitz ketchup curry?
We have a paraffin.
Okay.
Elmo's Steakhouse World Famous Cocktail Sauce. Very spicy. It's the right color of cocktail sauce.
Somebody said faithful listener and sent a bunch of Crock-Pot recipes. Oh, gosh.
That's mine.
No, I ain't going to do that. Oh, we got two. You can dip your finger in that one. No, I ain't going to do that. I'm on a spoon. Beth called me the other night, by the way. Whoa. Yeah, boy. That's what I'm talking about. I don't know if I want to try this or not. Hey, look. I got some sinuses going on. I'm pumped.
Beth called me the other night and said, hey, what did you mean you make your own cocktail sauce?
Whoa. Is it big time?
Oh, I smell it.
When I tell you I was at the doctor this morning, I did not need to go there. I just needed to go. I'm instantly open. This is the best cocktail sauce I have ever found in a jar. Your boy Russ came through.
Look at his face.
When I tell you, as a man who hates bottled cocktail sauce, they figured it out.
Chicken and noodles. I've got a lot of Crock-Pot recipes, and I still don't think they're true or real that people eat stuff from that. Do what? Remember how I complained about Allison's Crock-Pot, and she complained about the Crock-Pot?
It is unplugged right now. We've had a week, man. We've all been sick. Hey, but check this out. I do want to talk about this real quick before we go. Check out this guy. People like to hear about the president. The Prez. Look at him. Carter doesn't got a hearing aid, y'all.
There you go. So he's always had hearing trouble. We had a surgery. It didn't work. Whatever. That was a bummer and expensive to not work. But so then he gets his hearing aid yesterday. I walk in the house, and I was like, why is it so quiet? He was watching TV half the volume he used to. Oh, really? Best investment I ever made. So is it just one ear? Just one ear. That's bad?
I'm taking one shot and four pills, though, so I'm ready. We're going to get through today. What kind of shot did you take?
But y'all be proud of him because they said, what color do you want? Clear? And, you know, this is why I was impressed with the boy because, you know, I would be kind of like, I don't want people knowing we got a hearing aid. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I only got four eyes back in the day. Who knows what we would have said about a kid with a hearing aid.
Carter walks into the school like, everyone, check this out. And it came in camouflage. So he said, I was like, you don't want the clear one? He goes, no, I want the camo one. But then he did do the black and gray camo to match his glasses. I was like, that's cool with me, man.
I can hear it now.
He straight walked into that school yesterday and said, everybody, I can hear again.
I'm still burning. I'm sweating, in case you're wondering.
I took a big bite. When I tell you my back is wet right now from sweat, it was hot.
I got a Bible verse for us.
Well, I got a certain Bible verse about condiments. Maybe you know where I'm going. Matthew 13, 31 and 32. He told them another parable. The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of the garden plants and becomes a tree so that the birds come and perch in its branches. Ooh.
And there's a verse about faith. There's a lot of mustard in the Bible.
You dated a girl with a mustard seed?
Really? What?
That would be a sad way to go.
2,000?
Oh, yeah, it's right here. I got a Band-Aid and everything. I'll show you later.
Shamu weighed 8,000 pounds.
Yeah.
That was Willie. But I think Shamu was the actor. Wasn't Shamu the actor? Hard to say, really.
She said, are you opposed to shots? I said, I want you to give me more. Whatever will make me feel better, give me two extra of those.
What line were you using when you hooked into this?
Yeah, never saw him.
Either way, that's boat money.
And that's what led you to believe it was a redfish?
I was about to say, not of this one.
How would you like to see that behind you? I don't like facing adversaries in their environment. That's why I don't wade fish. I need to be on the boat.
You hear that, Si? You're a delight.
Where do we go from here, Martin?
Look, my favorite part is England's, what does England got? They got a queen, a king. I don't even know who's in charge over there figuring it out. But whoever's in charge had to put a statement out. We will not refer to it as the Gulf of America, but the Gulf of Mexico, yeah. You ain't swimming over here.
Beth hadn't showed up to the podcast in a week.
Oh, it's the Gulf of America. The Gulf of America, and I'm renaming the English channel to France Channel. Yeah, French Channel. You don't like the way we're doing it? Yeah, take that.
Kellen Moore, future head coach of the Saints. That's all I care about.
That's why I turned off the football games. I'm like, I don't like this one anymore. The Saints aren't in it. I don't have to watch it.
Who is? They flying all the way to Philly. Who is? The Eagles offensive coordinator.
I just want to know where you keep the keys. We don't want the headaches.
I wonder how that'd go over. No, because, hey, no, the best New Mexican food I ever had was in New Mexico, and that stuff was good.
No. Would it taste better? See, I like Mexico. I might even choose to vacation there.
But I just think it's funny that nobody will update the maps on the Internet to Gulf of America. President said so, y'all.
Si, have you ever been on TikTok?
Yeah. He ain't coming down here.
This dude's got 250,000 followers and 5.6 million likes on TikTok.
I like this guy. Oh, he's just a young guy doing his thing. Yeah, he is a young guy. Yeah.
He was at your 50th anniversary, so you liked him enough to invite him to that.
You can only be a head coach so many times.
For a little while, yeah. If you're following side TikToks. It gets back. I've never had a TikTok. I had it for like 10 minutes one time, and I was like, not for me.
I just searched Justin Martin, and that is not you. Oh, who is it? Some guy that spends way too much time plucking his eyebrows. Uh-oh. Yeah, definitely not me. And there's a Justin Martin whose name is Ham Sandwich 30. See, I can't.
He's like my age. I know. If he ends up a head coach in the NFL at my age, then I'm going to sell worms.
He just wants to buy everything.
Well. He wants to buy a boat now.
I was so thirsty when I got here. I was glad I found that water on the ground.
So I was trying to do 10,000 steps every day for a year. Today will be day 365. Well, you did it. Nope. It's a leap year.
Well, quit stepping in and leap.
No, because I had to go January 29th to January 29th. And then I was like, I'm on day 364 and it's not adding up right. What's happened? Leap year. So I got to walk around in circles today and tomorrow.
No, Wednesday night we're eating pizza. Where at? My house. I'm crushing it.
I went hardcore in January and lost all the... Weight I gained over Christmas. I've lost 15 pounds in like three weeks. Good for you, man. Well, no, it's not good. I want a pizza. Well.
Oh, they would love it. Hey, oh, no, no, listen to this. So they're officially Duck Dynasty fanatics in my house. I got chanted at.
philip they chanted at me i was like what do y'all want to watch and all of a sudden all three of them were duck dynasty duck down and i was like whoa whoa no i don't like this all right duck dynasty look and so i was like okay i'll put it on so now they have a hatred for the beaver okay with si and i kid you not i haven't seen a beaver in ever who knows how long yeah
We're driving home, leaving Jace's yard. Going to Stone's yard. There's just this giant wet beaver in the rain. I was like, look, boys. And they were like, let's kill it. And I was like, okay, no. It's a neighborhood one.
He's going to stop something. I took a picture of it, though. They were so excited.
Y'all want to see something fun?
Yeah, Jace, you got a beaver in your yard.
It was nasty looking.
That would be rough.
Oh, I got a picture of him, but Stone's house is in the background. He's just the friendly neighborhood. Beaver. Yeah. I guess he was headed to Willie's. He's up to no good.
I decided to look up Cy on Facebook because I figured that's where I saw this.
No, Phillip hasn't.
You did make the appearance at the yard sale.
And I didn't recognize you for a minute. And I was like, what on earth?
Some clown from Newsmax put an article up about how hurt he is and how he's in the hospital, but he's recovering. And I just put a comment under this with a picture of me and Si that said this isn't even close to true.
He's going to be one of the people that sends a nasty email.
There's one way to show his heart.
And he hadn't stopped talking about going hunting. Saturday, we woke up. Dad, are you about to teach me how to shoot a shotgun? I was like, we got things today. Sunday, we woke up. Dad, is today the day I learned to shoot? No.
No, no. Next year. He knows he's going next year. I think I am going to buy him like a .410 or something. Oh, yeah.
I looked up 28 gauges. Them people that got them, they got boat money like Justin Martin. Yeah, they're proud of them. You got one?
I didn't know that that was going to be the bell of the ball of shotguns.
Well, I'm probably going to buy him a .410.
Because I looked at TP and Spotted Dog here locally.
Pray for Uncle Si because he's wearing backwards hats.
Pigeon flight speed.
On cruise control.
I guess actually all the stuff he said was true. Well, my bad.
After they just got woke up. Oh, yeah.
Leave a review and come see us. Hey, you met somebody the other day, and her name was Harper.
Happy 10th birthday, Harper, in February. I think I was early, but...
No, they said we actually saw Martin. I said, well, I was there at the grocery store. They're like a duck. I said he was working.
And then another guy we've both met, his name's Lakers from North Dakota. He was just diagnosed with leukemia. Big fan of the show. So I just wanted to give him a shout out for a second. Let him know that we're praying for him. What's his name? Lakers. L-A-Y-K-A-S.
I remember meeting his whole family because he's got like a bazillion brothers and sisters.
Yeah. Well, it's just North Carolina. No, North Dakota, not North Carolina. That's what I'm talking about. Ain't got nothing else going on.
And then last email of the day is from Kyle. Kyle Ting. Kyle. No, not Kylie Ting. Kyle's definitely from Alabama, but I don't know how to feel about this, so we're just going to go through the whole thing and get Si's opinion. Okay. So my girlfriend of one and a half years broke up with me because I chose to hunt with my dad and grandpa instead of going to dinner with her and her parents.
I canceled on her the day of because my grandpa decided he wanted to go. So naturally, I went. Feel like I dodged a bullet here. Just wanted to get y'all's take on this situation.
What else is going down here?
Well, hey, you come from a hunting family. But also you got to give somebody more than like 20 minutes notice. If you had plans and then you bail on your girlfriend's plans.
But there ain't going to be no girl in the world that you just keep continually bailing on.
That's not hunting too much. That's bailing on somebody. So if you keep bailing on people to go do whatever you want to do, you're going to keep getting dumped.
I heard about it because my wife went to Target yesterday, ran into Brittany, and she said, boy, Brittany, she's tired of Martin hunting.
she was saying how glad she was that she did that and that stupid fly again my kids have been sick all week so i also been stuck at home with them so basically they both ended up at target at the same time they didn't buy nothing they just sat there and talked for 45 yeah because we had the kids yeah but but britney knows that you're going to take those boys you know what i mean that's that's part of the deal every once in a while you got to escape you got to do your part agreed because they ain't been we got one with an ear infection and
No, they do flips the whole time they're watching that. Anyways, leave us a voicemail. 318-215-6559 is the phone number. I was prepared this time.
Yeah, for sure, because I was not just sitting in my room with the door closed doing whatever.
Mine can use scissors and everything. Yeah. Dad, open this. Do it yourself. I'm hungry. Well, feed yourself. It's called a microwave. You hit start and mac and cheese pops out in two and a half minutes.
Living the dream, man. You are. All right, Hunter. 215-6559, area code 318.
Also, I'm South Carolina.
I'm terrified for Si right now.
Let's hear where she's from. South Georgia.
Anyways, I finally got one right. This is dangerous because we were with Willie the other day. Could not name his grandkids.
All them old farts in Genesis lived to be like 130.
They know that way I am. My grandpa called me, like, four names every time. Ryan, John, he, like, he just eventually get my.
When I was a kid, I destroyed my papa's entire vehicle.
All right. That ain't bad. I bet Abraham didn't know all his grandkids' names.
What diamond in the rough have you got? I got you a Bible verse just for you, Si. Isaiah 46, 4. Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am he. I am he who will sustain you. I have made you, and I will carry you. I will sustain you, and I will rescue you. Ding.
Yeah, I remember him.
Do Democrats not own boats?
No, he's a Republican now. No, he's not. He's whoever's in charge. Yeah, quit. Yeah, stop. He like my father-in-law. He used to be a Cowboys fan, now he's a Chiefs fan. Yeah, he committed.
I never saw it. I follow different pages. Well, hey, I'm glad to hear that. At least I died good.
Boats are a money pit.
Somebody right now just felt personally attacked by that, and that's okay.
How'd he get got this time?
Let's bring Dave Ramsey on and let's talk about boats.
Dave Ramsey tell you how to buy a boat, but he got a boat probably the size of this building. Oh, absolutely. I bet he got two of them. Because I have always said, you know, there's money, and then there's boat money.
That ain't boat money. That's Big Dave boat money.
But, like, you know, people fly around on planes and stuff and get down on a plane. That's one thing. But if you got a boat.
Like boats with a bed in it?
That's worth more than Ouachita Parish.
When you go take a nap on your boat. Or cook dinner.
Hold on. They had a waterbed on the boat? Yeah.
Once you got boat money, you're like, waterbed, do it.
They got a Yeti that you could bury three human beings in it so big. We got to figure out how to buy a boat, Martin.
I got a kayak and that's all I really want. But I want like a boat I can stand up in. You can't do it in a kayak.
No, I want to stand up in, not on. You must like the water.
I got to win the lottery or something.
I don't think that, that ain't even boat money.
Why? It's because our friends at MyPillow have a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of their life.
They can't stop. They won't stop.
Billions. I'm looking up boats right now.
Have y'all ever looked up boats? It's crazy.
No, see, jet money ain't boat money. No.
And I wouldn't drive nowhere.
Boat people got more money than plane people. Really? The air don't do bad things to stuff. Water does.
He's got a lot of money. Oh, no, no, no. He's got a point there.
Well, yeah, you don't want to bounce.
Yeah, you don't want to hit the ground. But I'm just saying, if you got a boat, you're taking your plane to your boat. You can have a plane and not have a boat.
Couldn't even stand up on that plane.
I'm Googling boats with a kitchen.
I want to buy one. Me and you going to split it.
That's another level too. Once you got something. When you get to that level, you've made it. That doesn't have a kitchen and they put a kitchen in it.
My internet doesn't go to that.
Oh, hey, yeah, we got to talk about this.
Because I'm a man who checks Google Maps every day to see when Si's roof is updated. Hold on. Let me go to Si's roof real fast because that's actually closer than the Gulf of America. America. Si's roof is not updated. Zoom out. Zoom in. Uh-oh. It still says Gulf of Mexico. What are we doing? What are they doing? They ain't got no satellite.
good boo we gotta well you know donald trump renamed the gulf of mexico are you aware of this no i'm not oh yeah executive order we will no longer call the gulf of mexico gulf of mexico it will be the gulf of america thank you how does that make you feel
You know what I have to say? We say it. The boss is here. Yeah, the boss is here, man.
So that's why I'm like, I'm just going to say a woman can't do.
He has come a long way.
One of the best parts of doing this. Okay. was the expressions on all the little ones' face during some of this stuff. You didn't tell them about Nam again, did you? No, no, no. What was John Luke's daughter's name? Ella. Ella. I love watching Ella because she's talking about some expressions.
Everybody's talking and she ain't even involved in it. But something is said, and you'll see a light bulb click on Ella's face.
That's when I seen her look. I said, she's up to something. You're going to have to watch that child.
I'm learning so much, guys. Because John Luke has got to place it to Job. True. Yes. And then Christian has come a long way. Because I had to get on to him in a scene. Okay. And that's part of it, me getting on everybody.
But anyway, I got on him and just from the look. When we stopped filming, I said, I said, Christian, I said, look, I love you. I love you. I said, this is just for TV. I said, don't even pay no attention to what I say about you, okay? Because I actually like you.
You'll be toast. That's one of the main things that I've always told the fans. I said, hey, look. I said, we lived with each other for the whole time of Duck Dynasty. And I said, that's a... a badge of honor that we still actually love each other after spending all this time together. Because I actually feel sorry for Corey and Willie and Phil and Kay.
They woke up with cameras in their face and went to bed with cameras in their face.
Yeah, we just showed up.
They had their crew living with them all the time with a camera on them.
2012.
No, because there's always two things that I always remember. The lady at church when we done trick or treat at church, you know, I'm sitting with her. I don't remember her name. I'm terrible at that. You know, we're talking. She said, oh, honey. She said, you're in total denial. It was when I went to get glasses.
She said, you blind as the wool bat, baby. She said, I saw it on television. You're in full denial.
I always tell them, I say, look, hey, Duck Dynasty, the deal, I said they portrayed Willie as a mean old CEO of Duck Commander. I said, that's so far from the truth, it's not even funny. I said, Willie is the biggest clown we've got in the family. I said, he comes to work in his underwear, and the secretary has to tell him, hey, go put some clothes on, idiot.
That's what I did for 10 years, everybody.
That was just in a moment a week. You talk about that. Me and Phillip went to Clay's at Delvant.
Down there with Clay. And as soon as I walked up, he said, who is that? And I said, that's my friend. He said, you can't be here. Leave. And I looked and I said, Clay, I said, wait a minute. I said, Phillip's my handler. He said, oh, he ain't your friend. He said, I've watched the show. He's the nemesis.
And I said, well, Clay, if he leaves, I'm going to go. Young Clay said, well, I can call him today.
Well, no, because see, that's one thing. That's one of the things that when he talks about the Robertson, he said, we didn't like each other. Well, it's because all of them are competitive.
Super competitive. If it's anything, well, everybody's going to get mad.
Yeah, they're going to butt heads.
And both of them, from what I can see, Both of them can handle themselves pretty good. True.
Yeah, everything everybody's got their fingers in.
You got me curious about what costume that Chris got into and then really got into playing the part.
Because it's going to be fun to see, you know, who becomes the favorite out of the kids.
Okay.
They tried to plant something that they wouldn't grow.
And Amy come up to me. I ain't never seen one. She said, yo, I got in the shower the other day and I looked over and that stupid thing was there. She said, I just couldn't wash my body with your face.
And I said, well, I couldn't. I don't blame you, darling. Boy, I did.
It's a self-imposed man. I'm going to have to watch this one because I've still got... I think you're going to have fun watching it. I think you're going to like it. I always remember me when the lady made my Elvis costume that I wore at the... If it's the costume I'm thinking of, this is a very different costume.
I've seen the boy.
He's the new Uncle Si, Christian Hart. Well, no, no. Well, it does something to you if you try to get into the part.
Very heavy backpack.
He's got a scarf to put a band on his head.
No, no. What's the little thing he takes hunting with him? He's got a little miniature –
Well, that's something. It's a little miniature little action figure. Yeah, Little Willie. He takes hunting with him? Yeah, he's got that old duck dynasty. Every time he shoots one, he says, I told you I could hit him.
And when he shoots it in, he starts talking to it.
What you see is life, okay? And you can have arguments, you know, and discussions, like you believe in this and the other person don't, and it's okay. Right, yeah. No, it's okay. You know, you can still like each other, okay? Just because you don't, you know, he don't agree with what you're doing.
Well, how did you spell it then?
Some of that was when they'd show the scene. Y'all in tuxedos and all that stupid stuff. It was hilarious.
Willie with his cane. The duck cane was the goal.
That was that was practice. You know, it was just things like that. You know, you don't ever think about it.
We all make mistakes and you've got to learn to laugh at yourself.
Amen to that. If you don't, you're fixing to go insane.
And I'll tell you this because I love you. You stink. Get yourself some Mando. With Mando.
Yeah, because your mother's 2-Mama, right?
Well, and the thing about it, you don't realize the impact you have on people.
But other people see it.
Because we have one, the sound guy, you got to understand, okay, everybody's wearing mic. Well, the sound guy is listening to everybody. And one of the coolest thing about that guy is, okay, is that he got baptized, okay, and Not because of what he heard, it's what he didn't hear. He said, hey, you guys hadn't got a clue. He said, I'm sound man, I hear it all.
He said, so when I'm with my crew buddies and crew, it's filthy language, just every other word. He said, what is it with you people? Even when you stump your toe or hit your thumb with a hammer. Y'all don't cuss or get out of line. Corey did.
I met somebody the other day. We're somewhere. They've had 2-Mama and 2-Dad.
So he goes, good. See, they didn't know what Phil done after that, after he found out about that.
Yeah, he did. He went off on them big time.
And that was like the first time. We would say the prayer, and at first they was cutting out when he was saying Jesus' name. Well, somebody told Phil about that and he said, hey, what's wrong with you people?
Uncle Si's getting an education. From the kid.
Even if you think that's why, because we're trying to get people to watch it. No, no, but that's why I said it. What's your real true opinion, though? How are they going to take it?
Okay. That's when it actually.
He'll see the first one. Well, that I'll see it. Yeah, he'll see the first one. He'll see the first one. Here's my partake on it.
If that's the right term. Yeah.
I think they'll love it. Okay, thanks. Because of all, okay, because everybody in Willie's family, okay, the kids, it's all of his kids.
Well, hey, we got a lot of talent, okay? I don't know if you would call it that, but I mean, just the, what's the word I'm looking for? The variety. Diversity, if you will. Yeah, the diversity of all of them.
Okay? Because I learned a lot filming it, okay? Some of it is really hilarious. When I get tickled, it's funny.
Ain't that something? I don't know what I was thinking. I remember when y'all said we're getting a baby, but I just... It didn't hit me. I said, good grief. When you told the story, I said, I was in shock. I said, because I didn't even think that way.
You were there.
Sometimes I say something and they say, what? When was you that? And I said, hey.
Well, no, no, because I did with all the kids.
Okay, because when Bobby was on the podcast and told me about all the stuff, and I said, that is so cool.
Okay, I said, it really is that you got to know Your biological family.
I said, you got to know the granddad? And I said, yeah. I said, man, that's fantastic.
Okay. And then I had a brother and didn't know it. He was a friend of his. Okay. Boy, his best friend. And didn't know. And if I come to find out, he's my brother.
all right now just thinking about it when he was telling it god writes the best story yeah oh yeah yeah because that was so cool that uh he grew up with a kid and then come to find out hey he's my biological brother it's you know and then he got to meet his biological grandfather okay and they've got a real good his mom and the family has got a good relationship with him
No, no. That's so amazing when you think about it. It just goes to show you how little this world really is when it gets right down to it.
But I mean, I was just amazed by when he told it.
Bobby said, yeah, I'm the black sheep of the family, literally. And I said, yeah, okay. Don't be taking a man's material. Well, I'm just saying. He's a professional at that. Well, we told him we can't say that. He said, well, I can. So it was really just an honor to listen to his story on the podcast. It really was.
Oh, they have some good looking ones on there.
Looks like them big old fat persimmons on the left there.
A dragon fruit cactus plant.
That's the main thing, okay, is your kids literally grew up in the Duck Dynasty.
Hey, I know this.
It's a crew.
When the family gets together now, it is a crew.
We're trying to get you a new fan base. I'm on the Unashamed, which means I basically listen to Jace talk about 90% of the time.
I bet he didn't say butt.
Well, I want to add another sport. I've actually witnessed something go down in the volleyball game.
And that was a church function.
He's an attorney. So what he would do is he would try to fight.
There's a whole bunch of... Well, it started with your dog. Your dog ate my sunglasses.
Then it got really awkward. It's like, and then what do we do?
Willie was the worst. Yeah, they had Willie.
That's what you got to do.
I was actually in Angola prison. I had to do an event down there, and I stayed the night in Baton Rouge. I told you, I said, I think Black Mountain's going to get some rain tomorrow. I had no clue what was coming, but it was great.
20-something miles of water pipes. I mean, we didn't have water for eight weeks. I just dug a well, by the way.
Oh, as well.
You don't expect it up there, though, for sure.
I mean, it's like.
It's like Katrina took. I mean, is New Orleans back? I mean, I don't know. It's going to be. It'll be.
Yeah, North Carolina smells good.
I do. Has it started? Started doing it. It's called Not Yet Now.
Did it start? Not yet.
Now.
Yeah, except I talk a little bit.
Well, yeah, it is a little bit. Well, because if I use a big word on Ashamed, then Jace has like a cricket noise. But he plays into the microphone. Does he really? Oh, yeah. It's ridiculous. So when I started the podcast, it was hilarious because all the comments were like, Zach, we know why you did this because Jace never lets you talk. And I was like, that's exactly right.
So he's a good villain. I just let him be the villain. The easy one. But yeah, we do it every Tuesday. We post every Tuesday. It's a little more of a less storytelling, more Bible. We're going through the book of Mark right now.
Now, I'll get a word in, but what people don't realize, they don't understand our love languages. So they think, man, Jace is really rough on you. Like all the comments are like, you know, but they don't realize like this is how we interact. You know what I mean? It's the conflict.
No, there's no man. Nobody's mad.
Yeah.
That's part of it.
You're probably the quickest witted of all. I mean, you got a quick wit.
Well, y'all actually, I think y'all actually work for Duck Commander.
Is this your microphone?
You should have covered it up with a band-aid, I heard.
are you on the new duck dynasty no i'm not now he's too far away i don't live yeah too far away i don't know how it works scheduling conflicts scheduling conflicts are you the boss of it no i'm going to be in the credits my name will be in the credits okay there you go as a producer uh ep i'm not sure major producer so i handle a lot of the movie stuff too we're working on a new movie
That you're going to cut out of the whole movie? I will. You were in the blind and you did have a great line.
I saw your face. I didn't ever hear you talk.
Yeah, it ended up on the cutting floor. You know why, though? Because when we filmed it, we got the first cut back. Well, I told the guys, I said at the beginning, I said, you can't water down sin. You got to show the darkness of Phil's life. And I got the first cut back, and I was like, whoa, this thing is dark. So we had to go back and refilm, I think is when you came. Was that Monroe? Right.
So we filmed three more days in Monroe to try to fix the film.
We're very proud of our own material. I will say somebody told me that my grandparents were third cousins. Is that true, Si?
I love it. Hey, we did well on DVDs.
It was wild making that story, though, because it was... Man, when I'm talking about spiritual attack, and a lot of people say that when they do a movie like that, but I felt it. I knew that we were doing something important, mainly because I'd never seen Phil cry before. And when I interviewed him, so when I wrote the story for it, I basically went and did interviews with the whole family.
And Phil, when he was talking about mom, When I tell you, he broke down and started crying. I've never seen him like that. He was just weeping about how thankful he was that she didn't give up on him. And I was like, in that moment, I was like, we got something here because it was so raw. And I don't think Phil had accessed that part of his story in a long time.
Yeah.
Well, Granny said that good genes produces geniuses. That was her famous line.
Were you shocked when he came to know Jesus?
He's had some characters.
He just showed up.
He don't have fear. I told this story on the Unashamed podcast today. This is Phil right here. He'll explain this. We were on a plane coming back from somewhere.
I mean, and I'm thinking, this is, I mean, we're done. So he grabbed Bear, my son was on the plane, grabbed Bear, threw him in the seat, and the first thing out of Phil's mouth was, he looked, he just said, well, boys, looks like it's resurrection time. And I'm like... We're about to die. It's judgment day. And you're instant. Like, what comes out of the man is it's resurrection time.
I was like, okay, it's just a different level, man.
Your nephews are here.
No Gators.
All right. Whoa. That's what my grandparents were talking about.
There was not a lot of affection in the Robertson family. No. Or Phil. So I hate to tell you, for you, I don't remember many hugs from you either.
Yeah. No, no, I'm the only one of them that is emotional. Well, you are. You were the nicest for sure. Jimmy Frank, Jimmy Frank.
She was pretty nice, but she got a little, she was feisty.
Yeah.
But you grew up with my mom. Y'all were the closest. Y'all were kind of. No, no. So I was definitely my mom's favorite for sure. No doubt. Hands down. I think the world has proven that.
And you know what? We're all still in the tournament. Well, I'm sorry, not all of us, but Tennessee's in. We haven't lost in the tournament.
John got caught smoking one time and his mom was, his mama smoked. virginia slim's right yeah and after winston's yeah and then she caught john smoking then she made him smoke an entire pack of cigarettes this is back in the old days oh no no that was hey that's that's standard operations and you never smoked again did you no that's a good way to end that
That was amazing. What year was that?
Oh, hey, producer Josh, fill it in for editor Hunter.
I just want to thank him for giving us Drew Brees.
It's hard to believe that that was in 2007. That was his first year at Alabama.
It doesn't matter. Hey, whoa, easy with the particulars there, man. That's why we like Hunter. He would have no clue what we're talking about right now. Yeah. Hold on. While we have big hair in the building, can you put a Hunter cam in? Because Hunter's not going to do it.
Actually, could you just start putting photographs of Hunter just randomly on YouTube?
And the truth about Hunter is coming out. He likes it. Oh, gosh almighty. Anyways.
Hunter Nicknerd. Oh, we give Hunter all the shout outs we can.
That's the fakest retirement Martin's ever seen.
Yeah, I like that.
And he's not like Jace who has to come up here on his day off.
Whoever put that up on Instagram, you are braver than me.
It is nice to know that we'll never get Jace and Willie back for an episode, though.
Retirement Godwin.
No, but you missed it. We just saw Willie a minute ago. Yeah. And we were like, hey, you want to be in this Y'all Sweet Tea commercial with us? He's like, how much does it pay since that's how Si operates? So Willie's going to require us to pay him to come on this podcast from now on.
He did drop that. It was the cockiest thing I've ever heard Si say in my life. He goes, hey, newsflash, buddy. And I was like, and then I just slid over behind him and said, I'm with this guy.
It can be rude.
The truth, you should always be kind. Oh, boy. But sometimes if somebody says something rude, it might be true. Yeah. That's what we've learned today.
Why? It's because our friends at MyPillow have a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of their life.
They can't stop. They won't stop.
Canadian Kings.
Phenomenal. Oh, hey.
The sheets. Sheets. Top notch.
They're so good.
How? Who knows? When you're your age. He decided it was a bad day when he woke up.
I've noticed Goblin's getting less and less in a hurry.
Godwin has come in here, sat down, we're like, all right, y'all ready? And then we've been sitting here for 10 minutes and he'll go, I need some coffee. Yeah, but that's one of my pet peeves.
Chris from the Dave Palace at House Size Ribs. They're back. We're good.
As long as you follow instructions.
In a great-looking shirt, too.
The good news, Godwin, is everybody here seems to be having a case of the Mondays. You're a pretty good fisherman, and you actually look real good, Godwin.
Just ask me, I'll tell you. Goblin said, is it Monday?
So what happened?
Did it fall off?
That's good.
Why do boats break so much?
Are you just talking about the general population?
Why is everybody so mean to their boat?
He'd actually really enjoy it. It's not just for kids.
I literally heard this conversation on Thursday between a guy named George and my dad. Yeah. He goes, these young guys trying to slow down just end up tidal waving you.
I think of any Robertson that might tear up to a cartoon, Cy watching Bluey might be the one.
How often do you fall in?
You just bail in.
How, where were you?
Oh, no.
How big is Green Lake?
I didn't say that, but I meant it. Well, that's a pretty good compliment. I like that. That's a pretty good compliment. That's just truth.
Mike's a big scratch my back, scratch your back kind of fella.
But... No.
I mean, really, there's only a couple ways you want to go.
I mean, as long as you're like, hey, I don't want to drown. I don't want to catch on fire. I don't want to fall from something really tall and have a lot of time to think about it.
See, I did. And that's why I don't think it's the right Green Lake. There's 10,000 lakes. That's why. Clearly, they're running out of names. What's this one? Green.
I didn't see.
Is that Green Lake?
It's only a mile.
I don't know how far you think a mile is, buddy. I mean, it ain't going to be easy fully dressed, but life depends on it. I believe in you.
No, it's too cold up there for that. That's in Mexico water.
I think you would have made it. If you had to.
It's the comedy of Aaron.
You ended up like that gar under.
You talk about the dream.
I love it.
Oh, Darbon.
Well, them fish are confused because I don't know if y'all remember this. Two weekends ago, it was spring.
Then it's winter again.
Oh, no. No, no. It better not be fall.
I legitimately can't do it anymore. What? It's cold weather. I like Yeah, it sucks. Now I'm like, I think I'm at the age where I can tell it's cold outside by how my knees feel or something.
Yeah, no, the other day I woke up, got out of bed, and about fell down because my left foot was just in massive pain. I said, oh, no. Oh. What is this?
Nuh-uh.
So I was like, it's not to gout. Praise the Lord, because Martin's told me horror stories. But I couldn't walk, and it was Sunday, so I had to go to church. So I was like, well, I limped into church. I'm limping. And then when I get down there, I sit down. Everybody's standing up singing. I'm like, y'all stand up if y'all want. My foot hurt. Then everybody thought I was sad.
I had more people check. If you don't go to church, nobody checks in on you. If you sit down through the whole church, you're like, you doing okay? I was like, my foot hurts. Like, I can't stand up very long because my foot's in a lot of pain. I don't know what it is. I think I'm just old. I don't know. And then I walked it off after church, and I said, okay, I'm going to get good.
Yeah, that's what I'm learning. And then I woke up two days later, and it switched feet. That's exactly right. It swapped feet? Yeah, and then my right foot hurt.
Yeah, I know. I know, yeah. I'm pretty sure your 60s were what we call Duck Dynasty. Yeah. Which seemed pretty golden to me.
Platinum. Miss Christine called them diamond.
We got smoky, drinky. Yeah. Squeaky. Shaky. Sleepy. Bashful and Doc. Fartman.
Those people, when it's 100 degrees and something like that, I'd rather it be 42.
I don't either.
You couldn't get a spot in our parking lot. And I was like, oh, we're back, baby. It's our busy season, which was cool because it was just a fake out.
Did you see that they just asked all the federal employees just to send an email of what they did in the last week and everybody's upset about that? No. They just sent out and said, hey, you need to send an email of everything you did in the last week. That's because I can't remember. And they're like, why?
I kind of been waiting on that email. I was like, you know what? I'll tell you what I do. Sell worms.
Anytime somebody says, what is your job description that you're boss? Get a backup plan quick.
Mr. Cashman? No, I'm not. Anybody that has a no beards policy, I'm a hard out on.
You might have thrown out more than Willie, but you were, like, doing it for the Toledo Mud Hens, and he was doing it for the Texas Rangers.
Minor League Baseball rules, just like Minor League Hockey.
round minor league baseball that's a real demographic yeah i'm not gonna lie oh absolutely i'm part of that i'm a season ticket holder there you go sponsor of a minor league hockey team in louisiana yeah so don't bash that demographic we also love the derrick and duck dynasty i have season tickets too so you can't that's what i'm talking about i see josh all the time josh you're also part of the demographic
Also, Mr. Cashman, fly your private jet with your bald head down here and sit here and explain to Cy why his beard is unmoving.
I don't even know what day it is. And Godwin.
Most of our emails are about the Yankees. And they are about one certain thing that I was checking every day for a very long time. And then we had like some special episodes and didn't get to talk about it.
Thank you.
I had a lot of emails about the Gulf of the Google Maps fixing the Gulf of Mexico.
You know, pictures of the ocean from space are weird.
All right. You got it? Here's your email of the day. It was actually a voicemail, but apparently they jacked it all up because they were nervous. Who was it, Hunter? Hunter. Yeah. Their name's Hunter. They're from the 71292. Just kidding. It's Emmanuel. So quick question. He wants to know, Si, when you are exploring the cosmos in the next life, can he go with you?
Let's go. Well, he's also invited a lot of other people to join y'all. Apparently it's his thing. Well, think about it. That would be a hoot.
And you're apparently going, Emmanuel's tagging along.
But I can give you a, hey, I can come back and tell you the stories. Hey, in 30,000 years, he'll swing back by and let you know good places to hit.
I'm ready.
Really? Uh-huh. I think we're made to work.
It's going to be like the Garden of Eden. Yeah, I think so. To Peter himself. Bank about it. It's going to be awesome. They use nets, Hammer.
See, but I think it's like the Garden of Eden. Like, they were working. It was just way easier. Yeah. And then they screwed up, and it was like, you know what? Now it's going to suck.
man that's kind of cool i'm into it yeah yeah you eat this and you live forever you eat that and we're gonna start over and that was who rose bad call all right and then another heaven question and heaven's been on my mind recently because i want to go there so emmanuel just right in line with it what's something that you want to do in eternity that you can't do here
So the first thing is they got rid of – The beard policy.
I didn't know you couldn't have a beard and be a Yankee.
That's actually fantastic. That would actually be a good deal. If you're a game warden and you want to make it to heaven, send us, and we'll put in a good word for you.
Stop it. Uh-oh. Here we go. No, no. She was just looking. Yeah.
Hold on.
But then the guy that made the rule, God, baseball websites, there's just stuff everywhere.
Look at that. Power of Cy Robertson.
So, hey. I wouldn't write you a ticket. But you know what I will tell you? And back to Emmanuel. I've done figured out. I got no clue how good heaven's going to be. I don't even really know what we're going to be doing. You don't know what it's going to be like. I know it's going to be better than I can even guess at. But I do know a couple things for a fact about it. Me too.
Revelation 21 for he will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain for the old order of things has passed away. And the new has arrived. That's good enough for me right there to want to.
And Si's going to give a grand tour of the cosmos to Emmanuel and our Emmanuel's friends.
I'm looking forward to that.
He had a beard.
He was early for everything.
And look good in it. I'll have some beards go together, I will say. I'm trying to find that certain Instagram. What was that, MLB on Fox? Yeah. You got to be a weirdo to follow that.
You can't get the computer too close to him.
Boy, these people post too much to find it. Oh, here we go.
Mr. Cashman. But anyway. We're not trying to look like Duck Dynasty. No diss against. If you start something with no diss. No diss to your bald head, Cashman.
But you look stupid.
Put Willie out there throwing the first pitch.
Oh, that was us. That was us. I posted that flip-flops gif. The boo from J. Martin Dutman got the most action. Yeah, I'm just against this guy. I love it. I don't like him.
There's a point where he just doesn't show up anymore. Right now he's still trying to get here, allegedly.
Look it up.
There was one comment I wish I could find about how beards are ruining baseball, and I was like, you're the reason nobody watches baseball anymore. They're a big guy.
Well, he said no diss.
Have I told the story about Carter?
Oh my gosh.
I've never been more embarrassed in my life. We go to play basketball. Ben's playing basketball. Yeah. In Raven at, what's that school? Riverfield. Okay. So you got to go through Raven.
Ravel's had some building scene better days. There's no doubt.
And the movie theater looked rough. Yeah, yeah. Nobody going. No, no.
What happened?
Popcorn ain't been popped in a minute. No offense to Ravel.
And a waffle house. I know people from Ravel, good people. Yeah. Carter walks up to this man, first guy he sees at the gym. Uh-oh. And goes, hey, man, no offense, but this town looks haunted and is a dump. And I was like, what? I snatched that sucker up. I said, what did you just say to that man? He goes, dad, I said, no offense.
Yeah. So Brian Cashman, an 11-year-old cart, or he's 10? Why?
Last breath. I actually have the best idea ever for this ad, even though I'm supposed to say how much I like the movie. I'm going to try and hold my breath for the last breath of the movie all the way through the ad. Ready, set, go.
Woody Harrelson's awesome. I'll breathe for that. You know, I could have made it the whole way, but I love Woody. So I needed to say how much I'm excited to see this movie. I'll try again.
Gobbleguys.com.
We'll talk about it here in a second.
I was trying to hold my breath, but if Jace liked it, just go see it.
Hey, I found number two, by the way.
The guy that might listen to us more than anybody but Andrew. He walked in the honey hole this morning.
Little guy.
Hold on. I'll tell you. This little guy walks in. He said, hey, man, love the podcast. I said, oh, what's up, brother? And he's small, has a mustache, clearly works outside by his garb and his big F-250, skinny. And I reached my hand out. I said, hey, man, my name's John David. I go to shake his hand. He's like, my name's Chris. And immediately I was in pain. I said, why is he squeezing so hard?
You win. Like you're the alpha. I get it. I didn't see it coming, but you win. You're going to break my hand. And he's like, man, I listened to y'all more than anybody. But that one guy in Ireland, I said, really? He goes, I left South Carolina last night and I have to be in California tomorrow. And I was like, you're driving what? I was like, I'm out. But he was a turbine operator.
Also used to be a bull rider or rodeo guy. So the hand grips checks out. But I said, well, where are you from, Chris? Chris says, you know where Canton, Texas is? I was like, oh, I know where the Dairy Palace is. He goes, my picture's actually up in the Dairy Palace. What do you mean? You do. You do listen to Doug.
If you got a picture up in the Dairy Palace in Canton, Texas, that's our demographic.
Oh, that's Spamburger. I'm judging you now.
Dairy Palace is magical. It's like a Buc-ee's.
I need to go to Dairy Palace.
Calm down on the money spending. Calm down on that. But I just want to go have a hamburger. And then go to Bucky's and then go do like a water slide.
That's a good point. I just don't want furniture.
Ding, ding, ding. Oh, man. Si, have you ever been to the Dairy Palace? No. Look at this photograph. Si's never been? We got to take you.
What is the Dairy Palace? They got a Blue Bell ice cream bar and greasy hamburgers. And my man Chris's photograph is up in there, which makes him cooler than me.
And where is that? Canton, Texas. Canton, Texas.
But when he said that, I was like, there's a few telltale signs that you're... Crazy hamburgers and ice cream. Uh-huh. That's a good combination.
Oh. Well, we're missing Hunter. So we don't know. It's just a weird day. Hunter took the day off to go on his date. We're anxiously awaiting updates. He ended up taking two days off. It's got to be a good date for two days. Cy woke up with a case of the Mondays.
That sounds like somebody I like.
It used to be the jam in high school when youth group would go to Six Flags. Yeah. Small town kids head over to Dallas for the weekend. And on the way back, we get to stop at Dairy Power.
Since he's definitely not listening to this. You were there for a while. How much money... Do I have to give you to thank him for giving us Drew Brees? Oh, boy.
No, from the microphone. He's our favorite coach ever because he was LSU for a while, and then he messed up and gave us Drew Brees.
There's some deals I can't do.
Okay. We'll see Godwin in a little bit. Fresh off the lake, full of frustration.
Tide rolled. I still got my tide rolled shirt. Go Warhawks.
Here, boys. You need to tweak this a little bit. It's a little higher.
He's got his cap on.
It depends on who I'm talking to.
That's true. I would bring a $20 and just say, hey. Here's your $20 bill.
Okay, the guy actually cut your ear and laid it over to the side where he could go in your head. He got up in there. And what was your stomach? He took something from your stomach.
That's out by Fort Polk. Yeah. I used to live there.
What was your job in DeRidder? I was in the Army. He's in the Army.
I went somewhere, okay, and they had a McDonald's. Hey, stop and get your tea here on the side.
So I went in there and I worked the window. You and Donald Trump?
I wouldn't do that for you. You couldn't pay me enough to do that.
Yeah, I was. You couldn't pay me enough. I'm serious. People get ordering in drive-thrus. Yeah, it was hilarious, though.
Y'all, they'd pull up. They'd hear me talking. It wasn't on their mind when they're driving up to pick up their food. Mm-hmm. I know that voice.
Yeah.
When they drive up to the window and I said, that'll be $13.50. It's a shell shock.
No, no, I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. Okay, marriage is like a garden if you've ever raised a garden of any size.
There's a lot of work going on.
Okay, because, hey, look, you both got excess baggage. that you bring to this union. Yeah.
Yeah.
If you hadn't been married but a year, you know, if when the children come along, then that's another thing that, hey, you've got to deal with, okay? And that's a whole new, that makes it a whole new ballgame. That's the question.
Rucker?
That's a good analogy though.
Amazing ain't the word. Unreal. Yeah. Yeah, the medical field has, you know.
First comes to mind, hey, with man, you're limited. But with God, everything's possible. Amen to that.
Yeah.
We just got back from Three Eagles Ranch down in southwest Texas, and Sage killed her buck. And it was like 22 inside fresh.
That's awesome.
We got Rutgers. That's easy.
I would have two animals. One of them would be a reindeer. What? And then I'd ask him, what kind of boss is Santa Claus?
Hey, do you treat your reindeers right?
Wait a minute. They don't rule the sea.
I was going to say. All of them.
I'm sorry I'm laughing. No, no, no. That's funny. You got such a remarkable story, okay?
So you're not leaking any kind of fluid anymore. Leaking fluid. Not leaking fluids. Okay. At least not that I know of. Okay, so that's a good deal. Okay, that's pretty wild.
The medical people.
Went off the charts for what they can do. Yeah. Because what do you think about it? A doctor reaching in and picking someone's heart up? And lifted it up and then said, okay, scaffold, cut the hole in the side where you got to put the vein that he took out of my leg. And look, in between heartbeats. That's impressive. That's amazing. Yeah.
No, no.
Well, no, no. Well, no, no. I got a buddy. Hey, like him. He goes to his stomach, gets some fat. That's what I'm saying. To help fix what's wrong with up in his head.
And turns it into positive.
Look at us go.
little bit of butter there yeah i don't know if he added anything to it to make it harden up or what but i mean fat yeah just like didn't add a little pork goes a long way that's crazy what amazes me about this okay is because we don't even know in my humble opinion, a fraction of what's going on. And yet, you're talking about amazing. Oh, yeah. This body God made us out of. Yeah.
The stuff that can happen to it and then it keeps functioning. Oh, yeah.
I will say this. The military proved this, okay? You need extra fat because the guys that are a little overweight – They do way better under stressful situations because they've got a reserve to kind of pull on. I'm serious. I think, hey, you know.
I don't know, man.
I don't know. The military's proved that through all these tests, y'all, with doing all this central stuff.
Once you get to that age. You've got to have your beauty rest.
Yeah, they don't look right. Yeah, Johnny D does not look right as a skinny person.
But, hey, it's true because, look, that's why you got to buy new clothes. I have had to buy new clothes. Because your clothes don't fit. You don't look right. That's what I'm saying.
That's why Phil named him Horsehead.
Well, no, because look, I'll give you an example. I was going to say a bobblehead. No, no, I'll give you an example. John Gower. He's lost like 100 pounds. He looks great. Diabetes and stuff. He used to have to roll in the boat when he'd get out and do the decoys.
He'd have to roll in the boat. Now, hey, that dude just jumps in the boat like a cat squirrel. Yeah, like a cat, like a young cat squirrel.
Okay.
I'm aware. How did you know it?
How did you choose your location of your party? We don't want to tell everybody.
Me and Johnny D would be over at the kiddie table.
Oh, well, then I'm going to bring my kids. That way I got a reason to leave.
I'll be at the kiddie table because my nine-year-old told me to throw him a party and y'all's parties at the same time. Because if you have any doubt, go talk to your fellow brother.
Yeah.
Yeah. So, hey, Si's birthday party expensive.
Yeah. It's cheap to get in. It's going to be expensive to stay.
Yeah. My dear. Actually. He takes me 10.50 leaving the movies like he's Hunter.
You going to have him a birthday cake too in case he shows up? We should do the podcast from your birthday.
I'll have him.
Yeah.
I guarantee you.
Oh, man. Well, look, we got a special guest coming in. I'm going to step out, but we've got... Very special guest. Yeah, we've got Young Sage.
Yeah, look at her. We got Young Sage coming in, so I'm going to step out and let her have this chair. That way, she sits by her dad and don't try to hurt Uncle Si.
What?
Yeah, but maybe she wants to give you a choke for your birthday or something.
We'll use J. It's going to be me.
Waylon took about a five-foot tumble off a jungle gym at school, so it's funny, the careful one. How is he? He's fine. I mean, he got a little limp about him. He knows he did it. I can say that.
Homie, don't play that. Sage knows it, too. All right. Well, I'm going to get out of here and let Sage come in. We'll be back right after this.

All right, so we have Sage in the house and in the building. Are you ready, Sage? Yes. She's here. She's here.
So, Si, you've seen Sage in action, right? Yep. Sage, we have questions for you. I've been told that you've choked out grown men.
You warned him about them stairs at my house many times.
You have? Taken them down?
I tried, man. I tried.
The protege's here.
So did he trip or did he jump?
It didn't happen.
So do you, are you more like your mom or your dad?
Probably your mom. But you train every day. How often do you go to train with your dad?
Nobody really knows exactly. He might have jumped. Yeah, nobody knows. It was during the Easter egg hunt. So, you know, there were kids everywhere, you know, like all blown.
Mistake number one, don't sit on Sage's couch.
No, he saw an egg and said, I got to get there first.
That's a good way to get you.
May have been. Like nobody, only he knows and he ain't talking. I'm going to make a shortcut. Yeah, only he knows and he ain't talking about it. He don't want to talk about it. Yeah, he just look at it and go, it hurt.
She's a tiny child.
Yeah, okay. Okay, hold on, hold on. I'm going to try and last a little longer. Try it again. Try again. I was so nervous. Oh, you did right.
How strong is this child?
Yeah, she's the strongest child. I've always warned my boys about you. Look here. Go home and warn them again.
So do you lift weights? I got a lot of questions now that I've felt the arm of a grown man on my neck, except it was a, you're only 10? Are you 11? When do you turn 11?
Yeah, well, you were the one playing video games last night. No, I wasn't. Why were you up?
Whenever I used to work out with your dad, when I was trying to lose weight, he was big into making me plank. That's why I didn't like him very much.
which i don't know who was more shook up him or his mama so yeah probably so for sure he was like dang that was a mistake she said to the hospital when she called me i said yeah that sounds about right so you know no we went to the doctor first and she's like let's just be really careful and get an x-ray so we didn't do no er trip or nothing yeah that's good yeah no i didn't think i looked at as a guy who's broken several bones because i'm
You just sit there until you want to cry.
Are you aware that your forearms are very strong? You are? Okay. I'm just making sure. I'm still impressed. No, no. I was expecting, like, I legitimately knew, like, okay, she knows the hold to choke me out, but you're still a 10-year-old girl, so I did not expect it to feel that much pressure.
My neck still hurts. Did you do that on purpose? Maybe. So Sage, what we do know, everybody's heard tons of stories about you and your dad and all y'all do together, right? What's your favorite hobby? Is it deer hunting or is it jujitsu with your dad?
I don't know if you know that they don't hand out those medals to just anybody. You earn those.
He'll talk the trash for you. Sage, you just keep it cool, calm, and collective. We'll let him talk all the trash. I would love to be your sibling whether I go anywhere.
The other problem is – He'll take you out. Si will get you in fights because he'll start them and then you'll have to finish them.
So in your competitions, you've only lost twice.
That's awesome.
11 gold, two silver. And what belt are you, for those out there listening?
one stripe. And that's new, isn't it?
And what belt are you working towards?
Yellow belt. That's awesome.
Well, my neck can attest to that, and I'm glad I have this beard to protect me in case she ever sneaks up behind me and tries to take me out.
You're not allowed anywhere in my vicinity. I feel like now she's like, oh, this is a fun thing I do with John David. Just hang out.
Are you headed back to school now?
She's like, I'm going to double check on this one. Back to school. Don't mess with anybody in the playground. Well, I should say they shouldn't mess with you because you probably don't mess with people. You're just waiting.
Taking them down on the playground. I knew that was coming.
Let's just call it what it is. A lot of momentum when you go down. Yeah, it didn't. And as a husky young fella, yeah. I mean, I could put body parts in a bind, like, you know. And I looked at it and I said, nah, it ain't broken. But I know what that looks like. That's a sprain. That one's going to take a minute. He's going to wear that one a little bit.
Then walked away. She said, that's your warning shot. Well, buddy, whoever that was, she's headed back to you. Good luck today at recess. Sage, thanks for joining us. That was awesome.
That's true. Strategy, better story.

The thing about it was, I have kids her age, and they don't have, like, they're bony forearms. Her forearms were muscle.
I'm still nervous. A little torque involved.
My favorite part is she's the playground enforcer at the local Christian school.
My wife made me watch American Idol every evening.
He somehow hurt his ankle and fell on his head. I'm not really sure. Because he had little scuff marks on his face, too. Kids are tough. They heal quick. Yeah. He was walking around last night. He did have a limp, but he was up walking on it, running around with his brother in cars and everything else.
Yeah.
Okay, it ain't no flab. This is not false. He had a story in there somewhere and we finally got there. He said, well, this kid pushed me. The kid pushed her friend.
She's the enforcer, man.
Then he pushed me. Then I took him down.
Then she did some arm bar to jump back to walk away.
Arm drag to the valley drop. Yeah.
To the valley drop.
Yeah. She said, just to let you know, buddy. Just to let you know. He learned a lesson. She on a path to wearing an earpiece.
Protecting somebody. Like you're going to look over there and you think, oh, well look at this woman in a suit with this earpiece. She ain't nothing. The next thing you know, you're going to be looking behind you. You're like, what happened? Eagle to pigeon. Yeah. Yeah. You're just like, what just happened?
Fifth grade.
As a person who just spent the night with a bunch of fourth graders about her age, she'd have whooped all them. I wish she would have been at the camp out about, hey, go beat up all these people because I can't.
Yeah, stand out there and make sure they go to sleep because I'm going to take a nap. She would have been a much better enforcer than me. No.
That was unbelievable. Oh, Lord have mercy.
Well, I'm afraid for them. If they got to wrestle her, they're going to be toast.
Well, the best part of the whole story was He pushed my friend. I said, don't do that. Then he stepped to me and he ended up on the ground. And then I walked away. I was like, that's how you handle a bully right there.
I like the thing. She stood over him just for a second.
Yeah. Hell yeah.
Good for her for standing up for her friend. She was just watching. There you go.
There you go. See, we're just doing things for our wife. Mainly because I'm leaving today, so it doesn't matter. I got to go to Tulsa. Also, welcome back. A town that loves you.
Last time we got x-rays, it was because Carter fell off a Segway. and now he hates all segways but he feels better because he found out the owner of segway fell off a segway and died oh for real yeah which shouldn't make carter happy but it does because he's like well you get what you deserve you made these death traps and the one caught up hey they're dangerous
Nick Saban made a lot of money with that philosophy.
She'd have been able to stay the whole time because she wouldn't have to go back to school for the rest of the week. She'd have been doing homeschool for a few days and getting caught back up.
Oh, it is, 100%. No.
While he was doing his Bowflex.
Yeah, made an aquifer.
And now you can have a little piece of Chuck.
Then you put on a cowboy hat and drive a single cab Dodge. Yeah. And then get to kicking a piss out of everybody. That's right. Wah, wah, wah. Roundhouse kick. I need some of that water. You look up, you got a buddy named Trevette. Man, that's cool, man.
What's the brand again?
Yeah, he's got his face on it.
Yeah, it's at Brookshire's down there by the Ozarka. Seaforce water. Seaforce.
It's got his face on it.
Yeah, there it is. You're powerful. Perfect. But y'all see which Chuck they use, Walker. Yeah. They know.
With his shirt on.
Because they know the rest of us grew up at our grandparents' house watching that stuff growing up. Oh, yeah. Knowing that he was going to save the day with seven minutes left, and then that gave him time to wrap up and have a good feel, good hug moment.
So Carter ain't ever looking at being like a mall cop in the future. Oh, no, no, no.
They'd be shooting him. He'd just be kicking their guns.
That's true. Yeah. Very Duck Dynasty-esque. Just blow stuff up. When in doubt, blow up a truck. Blow it up. Blow it up.
yet pyro was big but johnny d what we got in them emails hello at duck call room.com we ain't read an email in a minute well sarah emails in because martin you are vastly approaching a number 40 yeah i'll be there oh she's still got four months slow down now don't be putting well she's not you were both born in 85 yeah we're the 85 crew l farmington is l farmington a thing arkansas or is it just farmington arkansas
He fell off that one right over by Willie's house, and I had to pick that sucker up. He's in extra large clothes now. Youth extra large.
I know there's a farming in Utah, but... I don't know why she put L there. Yeah, I don't know.
Anyways, she wants to know what you're going to do to celebrate the big 4-0. Big 4-0. Are you weird about birthdays?
What do you mean?
I didn't like 35. It felt weird.
No, I didn't.
Halfway to 70, man.
No, I mean, I don't... I didn't like that. I don't know. I'll probably buy... my kids some sort of gun to commemorate me turning 40. You're going to buy your kids a gun? Well, they're going to end up with it eventually. I'm saying I'll get it. You're going to buy you a gun. I'll get it myself and use it.
Little. I mean, it'll be something. Yeah, it'll be something I don't have. I don't know. Probably. What do you not have? Well, I mean, I got them all, but I mean, there's different models of things. Like when I turned 30, Brittany and my mom bought me a .410 over under. So it'll probably be something, I don't know, I may go try to find me an old 16 of some sort.
What, my over under .410?
Yeah, he big. He's a big old boy, yeah. And I had to carry him. Yeah, y'all soon be sharing shoes. Like, it won't be long. I mean, he's going to be shopping in dad's closet here for long.
You can use it. I've killed exactly like three ducks with it. And it did its job, and I said, I got nothing else to prove here.

Terms and conditions may apply.
When's that? October. October. So 40 in August and 50 in October.
Well, I think Sarah actually proves a point here because she says, she asked what your midlife crisis is going to be. Because hers is right.
I think I had mine at like 25. What was your midlife crisis? I just ate everything in sight. Little Debbie. I mean, yeah, I just walked the house. My midlife crisis was working for Willie. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean.
Yeah, you just eat for comfort, right? You just eat your emotions, right?
Well, she's saying like, so now she's super into raising chickens, doing the sourdough thing. Yeah, I ain't doing that. Growing beans and tomatoes.
No. You're not doing anything? We've had a garden, though. That's just part of life here. That's not midlife crisis. Yesterday morning, I put up 40 feet of cucumber trellis.
Well, she's just saying people y'all's age are way better off than people Hunter's age. Yeah. And the fact that Stone's about to be 50 kind of blows my mind. You look good.
So I just make him the official honey hole model. Mom probably don't go for that, though, does she? She won't even wear other stuff.
I would argue that my midlife crisis happened a couple of years ago.
There you go. Look at there. All the things. So what goes by quickly?
It goes quicker. That's right. Rip Van Winkle went through a few years.
Oh, yeah. There you go. And what you're good at.
Yeah.
I mean, I would just say my overall shift as a hunter, my priorities on all that stuff changed. Like,
I don't even pick my own wardrobe. I just get stuff that my brother-in-law makes.
it still for a while was just kill them just right around when you had children no even before that a little bit uh that's what carter changed me a lot yeah no but i mean the boys absolutely did but just now i don't care if i kill them like i'm going doesn't matter went from the killer phase to the actually appreciation phase yeah and if it's not a boy i'm not pulling the trigger like
I don't shoot brown ones. I don't intentionally shoot brown ducks anymore. That does happen. Things get caught in crossfires and weird stuff happens, but I do not intentionally.
There you go.
Why can't Carter do that?
Yeah, man. It really is. I find more enjoyment in it. Same deal with deer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's more fun. It gives you a story. It gives you a reason to go.
He's about an adult small now, though. It's crazy.
He's big.
Yeah. And doing it your way.
11.
He's a giant.
Hunter, you got any voicemail? Fires 1-318-215-6559 is the number. Call and leave Uncle Si a voicemail.
24?
Yeah, 24.
Just doing all the math of all of our ages. We cover the gamut here in the dump.
Yeah, we've got. Yeah, we've got. He's understanding that RPS stage. Yeah, and he's going on a trip this weekend to work that out.
But, no, it's fun, man. I don't know.
Be sure to wear a scarf in North Carolina. Thank you.
She just got my attitude.
That's just thrifting. Was that a thrift store? Yeah. She bought a violin and went and watched Minecraft last night.
So she looked, she liked me. She looked at something like, I bet I can do that. And then she made a purchase something. And then she goes, no, I can't do that.
It's fun going to get x-rays.
Your wife.
Christine did?
I wish she'd have been in there with Hunter.
I wish Christine would have.
Hunter's been there 10 times. Sometimes you just got to go and see a good comedy. Did you see the kid that brought the chicken into the movie theater? Why'd he bring a chicken?
Yeah. I mean, it's part of life, right? I mean, it's part of raising kids. I mean, stuff's going to happen, so. I just am surprised. Actually, I'm surprised it took this long and I was more surprised that it was whaling. So just, yeah, it just shows you. I think it shows you though, the difference between being cautious and not caring. Like if you hesitate, that's when you get hurt.
uh there's boys i'm assuming hunter's age all over this country oh yeah they're doing they wait for a certain moment of the movie chicken jockey and then they scream they act like they just won the super bowl that's right and they scream and everybody holds a chicken they've had to put police in the theaters yep jack black showed up and said oh hey y'all calm down also hey they throw popcorn all over the theater everywhere yep okay really yeah yeah
Man, all they did in the Chosen was went and bought a few lambs and doves to sacrifice. They brought that in the theater? No, but it was just on the screen. I didn't see no other animals. That's crazy.
Chicken jockeys.
You let him go?
My favorite part is that Si knows this. Can we watch the video? We may not get to a voicemail because we've done officially went to chicken jockeys. How does he know that? He watches a lot of TV. How do you know that?
That's on Fox News right there. Yeah, that's what it was on. TikTok chicken jockey. Yep, Fox News. No, this is Fox 5 Atlanta. Chicken jockey. Yeah, he says that. My kids thought it was hilarious. I didn't really know what it meant. Oh, I have no idea what it means. Watch this guy. Watch this guy. There you go. They're throwing popcorn. And one kid brought a chicken and threw it up in the air.
He's just thrown at people. Horrible scene. What happened to the chicken? Well, we don't know. We don't know. Oh, wow.
Yeah, I'd lock the doors.
The movie be over, I'd lock the doors if I was them. I'd say, y'all can leave when y'all get this crap swept up.
Well, the problem is, here we go. Here's the one with the chicken. There's the movie. Jack Black, they're all sitting there. This kid's going nuts. He said, look, look at him.
And look, there's a kid with a chicken. There he is.
Oh, my goodness. And a mask. Yep. I had to turn the movie off. Ain't got to worry about me being there.
Everybody going nuts.
I will say this, though. That is selling a lot of movie tickets. Yeah, that's unbelievable.
Because that's the only reason these kids are going to that movie. So as the movie theater owner, I'm like, I really don't want this to happen. But this theater is full, and every one of them bought $18 popcorn. Yeah.
Margins go through the roof.
Toting a chicken somewhere. What if it's an emotional support chicken? Oh, my God. Is he got to have a vest on?
Hunter's eyes just got real big.
A lot of times the hesitation is what hurts you, Jackson.
Yeah, that's a true statement. They come walking out at the same time.
That's when I was like, oh, I get to meet the parents because I'd never really shaken your dad's hand. Then I forgot that your mom come up here with your grandpa. She reminded me. She was like, oh, we actually met when I brought my dad up. I was like, oh, Green Jeep man. Yeah, crap, I forgot about him. He's 62 and just got his driver's license. That's tight. J.D., you want to set us out of here?
1 Thessalonians 2, 11 and 12. For you know that we dealt with each other with... 1 Thessalonians 2, 11 and 12. For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting, and urging you to live lives worthy of God who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
nope just straight through that door we'll figure it out when we get through it like you mean britain knocks me down and knocks me down yeah but if you hesitate at any moment that's generally when bad things happen like that goes for hunting or a lot of different things that hesitation is generally what cost you so just go with it that's true you get a feeling go with it man
If you think Stone's whole life with his daughters is just about jujitsu and hunting, you'd be wrong. Because the whole time he's doing that, he's pointing them in the direction of seeing what a godly father looks like. And that just reflects on our God, our Savior, and our Father in heaven. So props to you on raising a strong, powerful girl, Stone. That scared me. That scared me. My neck hurts.
We'll see y'all next time.
Yeah.
I don't get people that can't make decisions.
Yeah.
It boggles my mind.
Like dinner every night. Oh.
I'm speaking tomorrow morning. Tulsa? Yeah. You about to make the Larry the Cable guy joke?
Oh, I can make decisions.
Stone, y'all have that conversation? What do you want? It's the same conversation every time.
Yeah.
you say something they're like they're like anything you say well that's what i say well what about you know we can stop oh i'm not in the mood for that what about uh what about this well i don't want that right now yeah the problem is britney took my trump card from me because i always just said captain d's because i know she didn't like it and then she fell in love with him hush puppies so now i don't have one that's like a definite no to make her make the decision you know
Captain D's always a good one.
Yeah. Great little seafood place. She got pregnant and got on them hush pups and she still ain't awful.
Changed her attitude. Allison tried another crock pot meal last night.
Is there a Larry the Cable guy joke about Tulsa? Yeah.
How'd that go?
It was terrible. That's the nicest way to put it. We just can't figure it out. She admitted to it though. She was like, Hey, it was edible. It fed us. Yeah. She goes, I never have to make it again.
No, this was Alison's direct quote was I didn't even know I could somehow turn fresh chicken. into canned chicken, but I somehow did it in this crock pot.
What's Tulsa backwards?
That's what it was with chicken.
Somehow the chicken, this flavor was okay, but the chicken, she turned it into canned chicken. We don't know how.
Oh, dang.
Really? It was weird. Cooked it too long, maybe? I'm trying to figure out what you're talking about. I don't think I've ever eaten canned chicken.
I thought about it like that. That was like 2004 blue collar comedy. Get her done. That's before he played Tow Mater. That's before he had to clean up his act a little bit. Oh, Dan, our friend Dan.
It's kind of like chewy.
It was chewy. And kind of like you were chewing on a hockey puck. No, not a hockey puck. Something chewy.
Maybe. That's interesting.
But I thought the whole point of a crock pot was just, hey, set that sucker on in the morning and get home and eat.
Well, when I make it like about two hours before they say it's supposed to be done, I take the meat out and shred it and then throw it back in there and let it finish that way.
That would have been the move.
Yeah. I take it out and get them little metal things, you know.
But we had a soccer game, so she wasn't home. I was at work.
showed up at home i turned the oven on there were already rolls in it that was magical oh everybody love a roll allison's like yeah she told me all the instructions then we opened that crock pot and i was like she knows she already knows i know what the kids say uh ben's didn't eat ben's ate plain noodles okay yeah it checks out he tried to throw that's our rule in the house you got to try it if you don't like it that's
And the words of God, when you got to have a no thank you portion.
Yep. But if you don't like it, I'm like, Hey, I don't like it either. Why am I going to force some kid to eat this? I don't like this.
Yeah. I just got to be willing to try. That's the, yeah, that's the move. Willing to try. Yeah.
But yeah, I think I'm going to throw away the crock pot. The only thing you can cook in it is a roast, and you can do that in the oven. I think next time she goes to get the crock pot, it's just not going to be there.
Stick to that Dutch oven. Three hours at 300. Just take your pair of scissors to that cord. I don't know what kid did that. Golly, must have been them Martin kids. You can blame it on my kids. I saw Jackson playing with it. I mean, I'm fine with it. You can blame it on mine. It ain't no big deal. Anybody else out there feeling exhausted, weighed down, and struggle to get through the day?
Everybody, some days. And sometimes you may think, that's what I'm talking about. And sometimes you're like, man, I just need some caffeine. Well, what if it's not caffeine you need at all? What if it's because you have a sluggish, overworked liver? Whoa!
Never really thought about what my liver's up to. That don't even sound good. It can't be good.
Well, that's what I'm talking about, because reality is your liver is under constant attack from processed foods, environmental toxins, GMOs, microplastics, fluorides, and so many other things.

Yeah. Levi Garrett design. Yeah.
Well, he's Burley.
Yeah, he had a wad come out of there that was fitting for a man named Burley.
Yeah. See who could spit the furthest?
Yeah.
That's a 10.
Somebody stayed up too late like that.
And I would laugh every time. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He was wild, man. We played in his charity golf tournament a couple of times up there in Nebraska. That was fun. That's where he almost died. Yeah, that's where, yeah, scariest I've ever been on a plane. Yeah, that was a tough one. That was –
Y'all play dominoes at the pool hall?
Was the pool hall.
So you play dominoes, pool.
All the things.
Yeah.
Oh, them big brass ones? Oh, yeah. Make like a ting when you hit it?
Yeah.
Boy, y'all was living in the Wild West, wasn't you?
I bet old PR was pretty good at pooling.
No, he always broke the stick over people. No, no, no. Back in them days. He wasn't much in game. I bet he was good at that.
Mm-hmm. Allegedly.
At Yahoo Spades. Yeah, I spent a lot of time playing Yahoo Gen. I used to love playing Gen growing up, man.
Harts, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Harts was kind of hard.
Played Harts.
Well, Jace does have that weird mind.
Jace got that weird mind of being able to count all that stuff. That's why I say you shouldn't play poker with him. Yeah, he's counting.
Uh-oh.
You can, you just don't? Well, no, no.
punched through some super sails like we knew what we were doing old stewie said i can't believe he stuck the landing i saw stewie the other day oh stewie the pilot the co-pilot actually but No, yeah, I'm headed to Tulsa, so it's fun. We had our first x-ray yesterday. That was fun. That was a good time.
77.
77. What are you doing for 77? Playing poker. You having a party?
Okay. Is that what the party is? I got invited to the party. I didn't know if it was a surprise party or not.
Hey, y'all. My name is Thomas, and I'll give y'all a second to guess where I'm from.
And I just recently bought an engagement ring for my girlfriend. I was wondering, for you guys in the duck call room, How did you know that your wife was the one? Well, I made that decision before I bought the ring, big dog. Thank you all. Love you all. Have a good one.
I'll say this, what could help you potentially, I think, you need to go watch the, because I think it was filmed, watch when Carly got married with Jay. He, were you there? Oh, my gosh, dude. Stoney crying because he's. Stone cried? Oh, I've seen Stone cry once. Well, no, because I'll tell you. He bawled. And that got me because that dude never cries.
They did. In fact, they both asked me when they took them out for the first time, which was kind of interesting.
No, I'm saying like both of them separately met with me, weirdly enough, at the same coffee shop. I think the second time I was like, let's meet at this place. This is where I interview kids.
Yeah, no, they said, hey, I really like, let's just say Tyler, for example, he said, I really like Merritt. I'd like to ask her out. And so that cool. And so we just talked about, honestly, just their faith. And I got to ask a ton of questions just to ask them out, which I thought was cool. Yeah.
So when it came to the Marion part, it was pretty easy because I had already known these kids for so long. You know, they're good boys. But now I'll say this. Now, I know with Austin, I just tried to talk him out of it. I was like, I'm just going to see what he says if I just give a bunch of – What if this happens? Willie, when he started to ask, yeah, like, let's just see where this kid's at.
No. I've seen you in that very spot. Yeah. We've been watching some Duck Dynasty with Gus because he really wants to watch it. And I just can't stand it because I was just watching this scenario, except we wasn't doing a podcast. We were just building duck calls. I was like, oh my gosh, what happened to me? I look so much older. I've gained about 45 pounds, I would say. I don't know.
And so I, and he would, you know, he was all in.
She's going to say, jog on. That's where the dead bodies are. What have y'all done? I think when a British person says jog on, that's the same as like, We got to go. Through this. Yeah. I watch a lot of British shows and movies. Do y'all ever hear them say jog on?
Where do they live? Like in London or somewhere else?
I'll say this, though. I think Australian people, in my view, when you get out of the city and stuff, they're kind of like southern kind of redneck people.
It's called life. I looked so healthy 10 years ago. I do not look healthy now. How old are you now?
We do. So it's kind of cool. My new kind of main job now is getting sponsorships for these kids. And so I've been over there. I think I told y'all, didn't I tell you when I went to Ethiopia the first time and like, I saw some like, oof, man, some hard stuff, like going in some of their orphanages and stuff like that.
I was like, Ooh, man, like we, uh, we, we complain here about our system and it's not great, you know, the, but it's, it's far worse over there. Just the amount of like homeless kids in the street and stuff. Yeah. And what they do is, I didn't realize this, you get over there, there's a sniff glue, like, because it's, like, easily accessible.
So you see, like, a lot of little kids walking around just kind of out of their... Blimey. Out of their minds, and it's, like, really hard to watch. Blimey. But that's where we come in, and we step in and help these orphan kids, and there's so many to help.
I had the black beard just like that.
But we basically pay for their school and their groceries, and we get them to church, and we have people on our team that share Jesus with them, which is awesome. So, yeah, I'm excited to be a part of this little initiative. And we made a, I think, a cool commercial. It was kind of, I helped with the idea. But so pretty much our whole family's on it.
Kind of all the couples, me, Jess, Jace, Missy, Willie, Corey, Alisa, and some of you guys we filmed today. And so when y'all watch this podcast, I ask that you check out that video. I think it's really cool.
He's gaining on you. Maybe I'm doing this to show you, if you wouldn't have made some changes, you would be like.
40 bucks a month and you can really help a child. I'm always like, man, I sponsor eight kids, but I'm like, I get this quite a bit, but I'm like, man, just skip a few meals a month. I need to be skipping meals anyway.
Nowadays, like even Taco Bell. That's what I'm saying.
That's right. Yep. And I'm going in September. So I'm excited. Uh, we've been doing a lot of cool new stuff with like, uh, Tim Tebow's a big, uh, helps with us, uh, with some of our homes over there. We have a boy's home now because we have a couple of girls homes and, uh, and that's more intensive. Like we have counselors for them and we, uh,
And they go to school and like they kind of have their own kind of kids. We couldn't get you reunified because we always try that, like try to find them. If they're an orphan or whatever, like try to find an aunt or uncle, somebody that can help them. And so we do that first. But if not, we have these homes and stuff. We can take them in and they're just sweetest kids, man.
Uh, need sponsored. I mean, it's, it's hundreds. So, and we're kind of, we, you know, we, it's kind of an urgent thing. So that's why we're kind of doing this is like, we've had some sponsorships drop off, which stinks because it's like, you know, this kid was like really flourishing. Yeah. And then if they don't get that money, you know, they're back to hard, hard living.
So we want to try to make sure those ones, I mean, we've gotten almost all of them. There was like a goal of 50 and we're like, we have like 40 out of 50. So. we almost have all those kids back taken care of. So yeah, man, I love it. It's a, it's really cool, man. You meet these kids and their caretakers and they're so grateful.
I mean, you know, they have nothing over there and they're so happy for the little they have. It's really cool. So,
Yeah, you go to allgodschildren.org slash sponsorship. And like you said, we always ask people like prayerfully consider, like, you know, just pray about it and the Lord will tell you what to do or not. But it is rewarding. And we do have, you know, you get stuff from these kids, like you get checkups and like what's going on in their lives and they... Send you pictures and stuff like that.
So you kind of know where they're at. So it's pretty cool.
It's cool because like out of my eight kids, I've been doing it for six or seven. seven years. Um, like two of my kids have went on to graduate high school and they're in college. Like they, they've made it past the, you know, they're, they're doing okay. Now they have a job and they're going to school.
So, uh, they eventually can get out where they don't need a sponsorship, but you know, when they're younger, especially when they don't have family. So,
Oh my gosh.
Well, that's what got me into the whole ministry was going to Wives Free Road. We went to, I went to Dominican with actually with Corey. I think Sadie was there, not Willie. And then we were doing like a VBS thing with these kids. And what got me was they, we brought them some toys and stuff and they were like, oh, cool.
And then we got them like, like just like tighty whities and little white shirts, like little Hanes, but they had never had like new underwear and like a t-shirt. They all cried. And I was like, we were all crying. Like, oh my gosh, like, That meant a lot to them. Just a little something.
Hey, where are you? You know, what's funny is though, people that do sponsor and usually get people that do kind of bigger, you know, gifts or whatever I will call. And so, um, shout out. I called this lady the other day. She was super cool. And she was like, Oh, I'll sponsor some kids right now. I was like, heck yeah. So she's on her computer and we're talking about it.
And she goes, Hey, can I text you, um, what I like to do for fun? And I was like, what does that involve? And she was like, yeah, she was like, she was like, what I, what I do hunting wise. And I'm like, Oh, well, heck yeah. Well, yeah, for sure. And this lady sent me, I need to look it up and show y'all. Um, she kills deer, uh, with a spear out of a tree stand.
No, up in like Wisconsin or Michigan, wherever she's from. No, this lady's legit.
I was like, this ain't like throwing, you know, getting those. Hey, that's 15 yards or less, probably. I was impressed. I was like, that thing's got a big old spear tip on it. Like, look at that thing.
Did you really? I had hernia surgery before I was 16. Did it help? Uh, out of work. I was so scared. So here's, it's kind of a funny story. Uh, I was playing basketball at the time. Thought I was really good. And, uh, And I was like, oh my gosh, like down in the nethers, there was a bulge coming out. From somewhere that ain't ever bulged. That's right.
You're right, Perry Mason.
And I assumed, I was like, I got cancer. Like, do you know what I'm saying? Like-
I wouldn't tell anybody because I was so scared. And then it kept getting worse. So what I didn't realize if you had a hernia, that whatever that tear is in your muscle fiber, whatever, it just keeps getting bigger and stuff keeps coming out. And so it got to a point where it was like I would get up and it was like this big bulge. I'd be like, oh, and it hurts so bad. And I'd be like, oh, my gosh.
and then finally so i can't hold it together over there finally uh i don't i'm like how detailed should i get in this story i told some i may have been my girlfriend at the time uh what i was like look you can't hide it i got a big problem here and she was like you gotta go to the doctor and i was like no but if i got cancer i'm gonna die and i don't want to i don't want to know that i'm gonna die spread is that what happened hunter just yelled that's exactly what happened
Deadlifts, okay. Hunter works out. Hunter lifts weights. And that might have been how I got it initially was weightlifting for about, because we were lifting weights. And then the doctor was like, he was this old man who,
I think my dad told me to go see, which is weird, because... But this guy was... I go in there, I'll never forget, he said, I got a... And this is what he said, sorry if this is a little graphic.
But he's like, I'm going to have to... I probably shouldn't say that. I'll have to check your back end and your front end. That's basically how he put it. Okay. And he was more colorful, and I thought, oh, and that's another. You're 16. You're like, oh, no. Yeah, time out. I didn't sign up for this. What are we doing here? Why are you checking the back? Obviously, the problem's in the front.
Right off the bat, he looked. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you got a hernia, son? Yeah, we're going to have to do surgery. And I was like, oh. And it was before they did. I don't know what happened to you, but, like, I have a big scar, like a humdinger. You got a pretty big scar. Okay.
Yes. Yep. Winston is three months old now. Okay.
You're comparing scars. So mine was a little lower in the region, but, yeah, it's still numb to this day. Really? Like, weirdly, it feels weird. Okay.
I really went downhill. Grandpa.
Keep it that way.
Well, good luck, buddy. I hope you don't get it. Just be safe. I see you working out a lot.
pow now did phil come help you put your pants back on after surgery no because hunter's dad did no i remember showing up after i had surgery and i was like barely getting along and he just started dying laughing he's yeah yep his gut done ripped on him it happens who's that phil
Yeah, you're being hard on yourself. Maybe I am. You look fine.
Wow.
I did.
Honestly, it was the only thing I had clean. I was a big flannel guy.
I was going through my laundry before I got up here.
Not including farm animals. Six.
Yes.
Just two.
Just four. Some of those are debos that come slinky around my eyes.
Yeah.
So what about the chickens? You don't have them anymore? No, I do. We've got like 11.
I know. We need something.
For sure.
Is this like... I'm really not sure about that.
They're never in the way. I pretty much live in a ditch, so it's really hard to park. And, yeah, it's a problem.
It's family.
Spy cam. Okay, so we got a new grandbaby. So part of their problem is my daughter wants to stay. She's like, oh, I just want to stay here tonight. And she'll sleep in my bed, in my spot, with the baby in the middle between. And Jess loves it. Jess is like, oh, yeah, I want to sleep with the baby. Oh, yeah, see your mama all over again.
So there's a lot of nights I'm just on the couch while my daughter and grandbaby's in my bed.
You got to check them out. It's a problem at times for me.
Me.
I just show up at my parents' house all the time for groceries. Well, right. And that's just fair. I don't mind them stopping over for groceries. Hey, Kudo, I love it. Then you start sleeping in my bed, then there's problems.
Oh, marrying your kids, getting married? To me, honestly, it was just the first one that was hard. But yours are boys, right?
Jeff, did you cry? So here's what happened to me. I was 100% fine. Never thought about it. Oh, we're good. We're good. We got married. They got, we got married. They got married. We all got married. Don't hide that. You did it right. We got married.
We were at Jace's old home in Monroe, his little wedding venue thing. And I was totally fine. And then we walked down getting ready for me to walk her down the aisle. And dude, I just like, I didn't talk. Like, I was just like, oh. I was stuck. And I didn't think I could walk down. I was like, I looked at her like, I'm done. You're on your own. And she was like, she freaked out.
I lost control. I had no foreign substance in my body, but I lost control of it, which is weird.
What's crazy is. Hold on.
Is that him? It looks just like him.
That's me with a filter. Okay, that's what I was about to ask. I thought that was legitimately your grandpa. Like, good night. That's me with a filter. Jeans in Alabama run narrow. That's what I was thinking. Them stagger jeans, strong.
Yeah, you need to explain filters to Si.
Jordan's taking pictures of us. He has a $10,000 camera on the floor, and he's taking pictures of us with his cell phone.
We went a whole episode and never told a guest's name. Nobody knew who he was.
That's about as redneck as it gets.
That's where my grand... You ever been to the day old bread store? It's right across the street from the paper mill.
Well, Cy doesn't scroll Instagram a lot.
I don't know that he knows what YouTube is.
I just walk into doctors and say, shoot me up. Yeah. Just make me feel better. Yeah.
Yeah. If I'm at the doctor's- I don't need medicine. My deathbed is near. I want a shot.
I've heard of it, but you're right.
Well, that is the key to it all because whenever you just go out and do what you're going to do, like you're super, I've known you for an hour now, and it's obvious, super authentic. You're just doing what your grandpa taught you, and that shines through. And, Cy, I don't know if you've heard, Cy, you're pretty authentic. Well, no, no.
There's so many different stories that you could be about to tell.
On axles. Yeah.
And we're not ever going to give his name, but we're going to give your name.
I found like five boxes of bathroom tile the other day. Uh-huh.
Where is this from? I ain't got another bathroom.
It was. For sure. Oh, my gosh.
I'm serious. I'm serious. That's crazy. It is. Martin, did your Assembly of God grandpa have any good one-liners?
My Church of Christ preaching grandpa, he would only say, he had one expression, because he never cussed in his whole life. He was, you know, tail gunner in World War II, and he was saying nice things about the people he was shooting at.
Yeah. But he would say, garden seed, that was his cuss word. Garden seed? He'd go, garden seed. Oh. Oh, garden seed. Oh, garden seed.
Yeah. Oh, garden seed.
That's a good one.
What does he do on, like, Thursday mornings? I got a tackle shop with a table of old ones. I'll tell you what he does every morning. I need him to go sit there.
What's that one?
A guy from upstate New York, home of Peanut, the legendary squirrel, emailed in, and they have found out that email, not email, that was weird.
It's like I've never done this before. Peanut was clean of rabies.
So they put him down for still no reason.
Or bandit. Yeah, or bandit. I don't like people that name animals human names.
That's just not a good name for a dog.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know about that. I'm against dogs named Todd and Jesus. Oh, boy. I don't like either of them.
I was about to wrap it, but go ahead. If you wrap it when he says that, it takes me back to my dating days.
Can we take a second to appreciate that you said chihuahua, and that Si said, that reminds me, that stupid cat rubbed his brain matter on me in 1952.
Is that a real one from him? Oh, man. We talk about grandpas in here all the time. You know, me and Martin have similar stories being the youngest and growing up across the street. But just hearing your story, it's been incredible. And how you honor him with just sharing all the weird stuff he says with the world. It's hilarious. So Proverbs 17, six.
Grandchildren are the crown of the age and the glory of children is their father's. Go hug your grandpa. Amen.
So your southern grandpa fighting words, that's not after your own grandpa?
It is. It is.
He's so excited about it. Slicker than a shiner's eyeball? Is that direct from your grandpa or did you come up with that yourself?
I've said that 40 times.
He's got some zingers, I bet. Yeah. Like my mom, okay, was 94 when she passed away.
We're just going to sit back and watch the show.
I spent some time with hungry steak. I don't want to go back to that ever.
That's why we're tougher than most Americans today.
Don't go down that road.
I like the grandparent road.
Well, definitely. For obvious reasons. Mobile, Alabama, I mean.
Why do Alabama fans throw stuff at TVs?
Hey, we did get an email the other day from a guy named Justin, and he's very sad.
About why we hate Alabama so much.
He called our general hate for Alabama football and the whole state palpable. I don't even know what palpable means. But I'm hoping having Justin here redeems us for this other Justin with you, Justin, and we actually love you, Alabama. We're going to make fun of you.
Let's go ahead. I mean, why tell funny stories and not record it?
I wore a red hat the other day that said Honey Hole on it, and some guy looked at me and just went, Go Tigers. And I was like, okay. What did I do? All right. I'm in.
We're terrible.
I didn't know what today was going to hold.
Y'all had to be two out of the three.
Because they're mice.
Willie had a radio show. Forget podcast. Willie was on talk radio. Willie Robertson's Wild Lies.
It was me and you like every Tuesday. Do you know why he tried?
A quick math of a thousand hours divided. How many days? That is 41 days.
Straight. And nights.
No, it's for real. Maybe he has a retention problem. He learns in the moment. No, it ain't a retention problem.
Just make sure you got that steroid cream.
So what happens if you dig it up and you just put it in your pocket? They'll put you in jail.
Yeah, what's even cooler is now they got a little button that says buy now. You don't even have to add it to cart. It just does it for you. That's okay. I don't even know what they're talking about. Do you, son?
It's 2025, though. They'll bring that stuff to you.
He never even went in?
No, he'd sit in the truck.
I would say if Phil... Because Phil, probably when he went grocery shopping, they probably didn't have carts yet. It was just...
Yeah, and I spent the last weekend in Nashville, too, and there were a lot.
of people that come up so we're praying for phil praying for phil so they're still at it and we are all appreciative of it and also thank y'all for taking y'all's time to come in and sit down and chat with us yeah you're always welcome here we're not ever really gonna ask did jay's tell you it was his day off i mean i feel like i'm gonna have to
Yeah. And we do always close with a verse. I actually want to take this one.
Can somebody bring a boy around for us? In honor of Phil, you gotta eat.
We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
He's going to lose it to you in a poker game. What is he going to do?
You'd hate to screw it up, wouldn't you?
Yeah, but you can't draw it.
It's very different. For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.
They didn't stop at just creating the pillow. They've made the best bed sheets ever, too, man.
And I don't know what to tell you. I mean, the sheets, they look, they feel great, all the things, which means an even better night's sleep for all of us, which is crucial for a man like Cy.

Ain't none of y'all ever been known for saying a blank yes to anything.
Hard to believe it only took 424 of them to get them here together. That's it.
You just talked about changing of address. I just had the weirdest thought.
How would you have liked to have been in heaven when Jesus walked up to Uncle Joe and says, hey, let me show you to your room? Yeah, right this way.
Yeah, not going to. That's what I'm not going to do. Why they've got them things set on one end and the other end, I'll never know.
First time that we had a Make-A-Wish, he had come up here. If you have never went through that, either you got a good relationship with your family, I should say a close relationship with your family, and a close relationship with God Almighty and His Son and the Holy Spirit. If you don't have them two, what do you do when something hits you like this? Who do you turn to?
You know what I mean? That's why I always tell, because me and my mother, okay, I'm a baby boy, okay? Mama's boy. Mama's boy. Praise God. Okay, and proud of it. Yeah. I used to ask me, what are you going to do when she dies?
Well, see, I thought it was going to be to me.
But because of what faith I have and who I have it in, I said, well, guys, here's something that I live with and I believe it wholeheartedly. I know where she went. I know who she's with. And I know that she's surrounded by people that love her. And we get there. We get to go there. And hey, here's the best line. And I will see her again. Amen, buddy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Because there's a lot of people who's looking. Okay, it was recorded in the Bible. Let me go back to them. And God said, no, I've already sent them the prophets. Yeah. I've already sent messengers.
It wouldn't help them. It wouldn't help them. If you went back, it wouldn't help them. Nope. They're going to have to put their faith in something.
And he done that.
And the best part of that is he did it and he's told me, I will do it for you too. Uncle Joe right now is there, okay? He knows stuff that we can only think we know.
The most important thing is he's got a glorified body just like our Lord and Savior.
Come on in, boys. Jason preached yesterday, and right at the end of it, when he said he gave the invitation, I stood up, and I just, before I was walking out, I said, hey, he's telling you, come to Jesus, boys. It's that time.
Oh, I did. Yeah, Jason said, hey, thanks a lot. He just walked me over, because people don't understand. The invitation, okay, that's Jesus Christ talking to you.
They sing a song, and I love it. I know your name. Jesus knows your name. Yeah. And, hey, when you hear somebody speaking about him, when they offer the invitation, it's Jesus' time to call you home. Amen. Okay. That's what it is, man. You don't know when it's going to be. And look, hey, life is short. You're not promised the next second, okay?
I don't know if I'll put it on my headstone, but I always think about this. Don't stand here and weep for me over my grave. No, we going to sing. I ain't there. No, we going to sing. Yeah. I ain't there. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, if you leave this earth, okay, and then people, you know, if they say anything, it's got to be good. Yeah. Uncle Joe was one that had the reputation. It was all good. Yeah.
What's herpetology?
Oh, no. That's what I told a buddy of mine.
You know, if it didn't, then... Just think of somebody that's never loved anybody.
It's better to have loved than have never loved.
I don't have to ask any more questions. Don't worry about it.
That's the most important, because I was going to say, okay, he called him home.
it's a lot easier when you may not know why okay because hey like jd said and i agree with you the woman you're talking about i think uh john paul is a better name than john john paul hey i'm serious i can't go back in that grocery store for maybe ever but when i do i'm going to hug yeah you're going to do online up there man you ain't gonna be able to walk back in that joint
Oh, yeah.
Okay. I would feel that. Yeah. I might be wrong, but I seriously doubt it. I could be wrong, but I'm a Robertson.
Exactly, because Jesus cried. That a man can't cry. Yeah. That's bull.
My question to that is a microplastic, you can't see it.
And what does it do there?
I don't think they know either.
Oh, Lord.
No, no, that's why when I preach and the guy leaves me with this, he's fixing to leave or she's going to leave. They'll say, well, I just can't see it. It's God you're always talking about. And I said, wait a minute. I said, remember the questions I asked you. Where did all this beauty come from?
The birds, all the different colored birds, the fish, all the different colored fish, all this stuff that you can see, you got to ask yourself a couple simple questions. Where did it come from?
I accept it, and then all you got to do is, okay, keep your eyes on him and keep trying.
Hey, get back up. Dust it up. Let's go.
Well, no, no, because, hey, look, when he came to Jesus, let me tell you, when he came to Jesus, he actually said that, just told it, and said, hey, look, what do you mean, be good? I've never been good.
I got a good chocolate. Hey, you got to love that man.
You're going to love that man.
That's an honor tribute to the man.
That all these people come, okay, to say goodbye.
That's why I always liked whenever we was having family reunions. All the cousins and everybody got together and sit, get on your knees and sit down and listen to them all tell the stories about what went on, what happened, you know. It's out of this world.
And the best thing about it is, hey, if you find him, you'll never be alone again.
Was there a lot of stories about him?
Well, I've went to one, like, you know, one of my aunts, you know, and she was a hoot now, I'm telling you. Our Aunt Marisette. When she died, you know, everybody around there told stories. But that was the best going-away story of a loved one that I've ever been to. Okay. It's because like you said, they celebrated who she was.
Well, I apologize because I didn't know. No, you didn't, man.
They asked me in the military would I want to be in the burials of veterans. And I said, no, I can't do it because I'm afraid I'd embarrass the family. I'm too emotional.
And I ain't like the people that come up with this.
That's right. Now just talk your head off.
Yeah. That's why most people going religious, why most people ask, well, you know, what do I need to do? And Phil gave them the best advice I've ever heard. You don't have to do something big. Yeah. Your uncle touched thousands.
Just by being who he was.
He ran the grocery store in town.
I think we're stressing comfort over killing these days.
Making memories.
We've come close. It's a bunch of silliness. It all boils down to finding out whose fault it is. Assessing the blame.
They blame for everything. Never admitting any kind of wrongdoing or mistakes.
No.
Boys, when I'm- That 20 gauge barks, something dies. That's it. Every time. Every time. Get them, buddy.
Every time. There's been a lot of that over the years. Well, it's pretty funny when you go back and think about it.
Because you got Phil and Jace on each end, and their space is- wide open, bald, bald, no, hardly any brush. And then you look at the middle of the blind and there's rush piled up where you can't even see over it.
Yeah.
You ain't never flared a duck.
I heard Phil one time say, he wore a shirt, duck hunting one day, about the color of that one you're wearing. Light gray, it was light gray.
it's like where's your camouflage he said what are you talking about he said you're gonna flare him with that phil said i don't flare ducks never ever ever yeah oh man it's like that opening day i showed up feels in red plaid i said oh yeah hmm i said when did you become a lumberjack
There you go. I did. One time I went on a trip with Jace to Kansas. He had him a bonfire built on the riverbank where he was hunting the river. Oh, yeah. And it was about to get legal. I mean, he had a raging inferno. Just a roaring ball of blaze. Oh, yeah. Then he looked at me and he said, you need to take that headlight off your head. You're going to flare something with that.
But according to you, they don't flare off fire.
Everything is optional these days.
Loading your gun, optional.
You know how Phil was. If he's going to do something, he's going to do it all the way.
I guess that went for drinking, too.
One inch? One inch. I got one for you. I witnessed him, Si, and Godwin in my boat. Yeah. Cast at the same buoy, and Godwin caught 18 fish before Si ever caught one. I've got the same bait on.
His retrieve was slightly faster.
A lot faster.
That was funny.
Oh, he got hot.
And it was a good one too.
That is a bull. That's a big one. Look at the mass of it.
318?
No, that ain't a setup. That's probably in California.
I paused it before. He sounds like he's got a Texas accent.
Let me tell you, don't ever leave a Yeti in your truck at the Civic Center.
Gone. I was there two hours. I thought everybody was asleep. You know, it was 10 o'clock. Thought I was safe. Nope.
That's right.
Then that's awesome. You know, you got a good point. What's that? I'd trust a monkey over a politician any day of the week.
That monkey, he ain't going to lie to your face.
That's as rude as he's going to be to you. He'll pick a couple bugs out of your hair.
Well, what were they testing? That's the question.
Oh, Rog. You want one? That actually looks good. There you go. I have one. Iced vanilla.
Well, they escaped from a place called Alpha Genesis.
Liven up your deer hunt a little bit.
I mean, you ever heard anything?
Oh, boy. Try to be a coon hunter? Well, no, you can't do that.
In New York. You can't be having a pet squirrel in New York. They just don't go together.
Dan saw a monkey on Phil's property.
Yeah.
We were after that same old buck.
Well, I think we'll get him.
Seems doable. When he told me that, I said, well, let's go practice. And he said, no, I don't need no practice.
He's a gamer, son. Just give him the ball. Oh, no. Hey, look.
No, I got a report on that. One of the buck boys showed up to help. One day for about two hours.
Oh, he showed up. He dug about four holes with post hole digger. Okay. A little porous, a little saccrete in there. Okay. Where'd you put the blind? On the elbow. On the elbow? Yeah. It's two-sided. Two-sided? Oh, yeah. Oh, you can hunt either side, huh? That's right. You can hunt 11 men in there if you want to.
No, ain't one of them. We're beyond the C3 blind. We're like a little more comfort than that. We're going to have a roof, halls, and a floor.
Yeah.
They'd never let me on the end. There's three corners on this one.
Oh, yeah. That'll be good for him.
Well, that's why the suppressors they put on high-powered rifles is really nice.
And you can get very far if you've got kids.
I think he's open to either one. He wants to keep it? No, he said it was 50-50, so he wasn't going to mess with it. 50-50. That's what he said. Really? Yeah, it's 50-50.
Yep. Is she coming back? Oh, she done got her a man. She got her a man.
That's what I'm talking about.
Congratulations, you good-looking thank you. That's what I was waiting for. There it is.
Yeah, it's... Well... I'm with you. I like to get off of work
He looked like a Shane. Shane, you got a queen. You better treat her right, buddy.
I just saw Jace. I ain't done nothing to Jace.
He knows the area. It ain't no telling what you're going to see, okay? Do you often go out shooting? Well, I don't know. Well, there's a lot of shots fired down there in that area. No, I'm serious.
Pappy Phil?
Pappy Phil.
Poompa, yeah.
We're going to go. It's a good nickname, I'm telling you.
Well, the other argument. Hey, and here's the deal, okay? They never had to say, oh, we can't do anything. We ain't got any reach.
That's interesting. No, no, Jace gave him that, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you, he did.
Oh, ain't no doubt about it, J. Rock.
They never said that.
Oh, yeah.
They said, hey, you need to get up.
None of us ever wake him up. Phil already done told them. Don't mess with him. Do not mess with him.
Yeah, 15 hours.
That's what I'm saying. I love coming in here and talking to y'all. If nobody messes with you, they don't care nothing about you.
I had like a two-hour layover. No, it was four-hour. I had a four-hour layover in Dallas.
No, no. I gave a four-hour concert for the people.
I remember that.
I like Lulu.
That's tight. That's tight. That's tight. That's sick, bro.
I like that. Lulu. Lulu's a good one.
I was the only one that could hear the music. I had phones, earphones on. But I gave them a four-hour concert, and they filmed it. That's big time. It went viral.
I had to slow it down a little.
You are viral, sir.
Get yourself some fruit tree, boys.
And hold it for us.
No, that's not true.
No, that's not true. They're close to a crappie, okay, for forest flavor and the meat. It's white, y'all.
Flaky. Okay, so they're very close. My father said that's the best eating fish he's ever had. Walleye? Walleye. Yeah, I've heard that a lot. But Neil tells me it's true. That has a lot to do with the people that actually catch it. And how it's prepared. And prepared. Okay, they did.
Because I've had males that, you know, I'll give you an example, the axis deer.
He's good. That's the best mate it is, deer mate. Well, I've had it, and it was pitiful.
But the guy that done it didn't know what he was doing.
Pitiful. That's just the truth. Well. Okay. If you got a person that knows what he's doing with it, cleans it properly, and then fries it like it's supposed to be fried. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's true.
Yes, he grabbed me. I was going through and going toward the plane. And she said, hey, where are you going?
The flavor is different. As someone who's eaten so much fish, I've never considered that. Walleye and crappie, okay, if you was actually to put them together... And if you know what you're doing, you would probably have a hard time picking which is which.
I caught a bunch of what are called shiners.
Where are you going? I said, hey. The door ain't closed.
I did. I hook you between the eyes.
My name is... Hey, guys.
Yeah. I thought that was a... I can't even think of it. Cucumber? Pickles, yeah, cucumber.
And then we showed it to the lady and said, hey, why are you sitting here and lying to me, woman? Ooh. The door's open. Let me go down there and get on a stupid plane.
Okay, so that's why I've got them two stupid things stuck on my bulletin board.
No, it's okra. Yeah, I was wondering where they come from, and I was saying.
Yeah, and now I find out, well, you used to eat okra.
Give me for a language boy.
Walleye, copy, however you want. You can either have it boiled or fried. I prefer fried. It's real good in peas.
Phil goes overboard with it.
Oh, yeah. All right. We'll see y'all next time.
Most of the time, I give them a break and don't say nothing.
Yeah, yeah.
All that is boiled down to is lazy. Too lazy to set the clock. I'm serious.
Well, no, my watch don't. Well, that's right. That ain't a smart watch. One on my wall don't. Okay, I got a lot of them that don't set.
Time changes so slowly. My truck does normally reset.
We went out from church, and I get in and turn the radio on, and it
I'm talking about, what in the world? And Phillip said, hey, what? I said, yo, and then you heard. Then you heard. I said, hey, somebody's locked in the stupid back row.
Yeah, because we thought we had somebody that crawled in there and got locked in there.
No, it was a stupid speaker.
No, it busted.
Because look, one day I went somewhere. Look, I come out.
Yeah, and I hit the release button for the truck to unlock. When the step come out, I stepped up on it. And then when I stepped up on it, I haven't touched nothing else. And I hear pow. And I mean, it's like a .22 rifle. All I hear is pow, y'all. So I get in and turn the ignition. It starts and everything's all right. But it's like all of a sudden just pow, boom. Hmm. Static. Well, Johnny Deacon.
I figured, you know, Phil said, finance it. He said, you speak blue.
Oh, that's always a good reason.
Yeah, it's waterproof.
Have you shot it yet? Carter's got a gun.
Just the amber type, amber type. Oh, yeah. Single shot. Yeah, you open it up. Okay, yeah.
What the heck? My first shotgun.
Go ahead. Hey, Duck Hall Room. It's Lance from... Texas. I just have one question. Would you rather fight a bear-sized duck... Or 100 duck-sized bears? Let me know. I love you guys. Enjoy the podcast. Have a good one. God bless.
Welcome back to the DuckTallroom ladies and gentlemen we are here we are um yeah it's the winter we got the holiday season is all around us and man hope you guys are having a good holiday season so far hope you're getting ready for Christmas and all the things that go along with that Christmas time is here.

I just don't understand how that stuff's going on.
Yeah.
I guarantee you. Yeah.
That's right.
20 years ago. CR. CR? That's incredible, though, that we're there.
37,000 churches? Yeah, so quite a few people. Six million. That's pretty impressive. And that's not six million lives that have been touched because then you extrapolate from that.
Yeah, that's incredible.
I give you that where he's hugging him. So he finally hugged and kissed Santa Claus. But yeah, it was just it was very strange because. Man, I would have pegged Waylon for that one and not, yeah, not Jackson. But Waylon just went to him. He was like, oh, if this man's giving out cars. I'm in. I'm in. Yeah. If he's giving out cars that make noises, I'm in on that. So, no, that was fun, man.
I don't know if he told you that part, but I could, I could see the look on big day's face too. He's sitting there taking it all in. Oh yeah. That's my brother. Oh, For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.
They didn't stop at just creating the pillow. They've made the best bed sheets ever, too, man.
And I don't know what to tell you. I mean, the sheets, they look, they feel great, all the things, which means an even better night's sleep for all of us, which is crucial for a man like Cy.

Yeah, but that's old news.
But you got to have the hair, too, because he's got the perfect Santa hair. Yours is straight. It don't have. That's only given to a few people. I'm serious. Because most people don't know what to do with it.
I would hope that that would be a prerequisite in today's society.
But did they look BC? I was kind of concerned.
Yeah, you go past that. I ain't ever qualified for nothing.
Now, I mean, I feel like I have to fly the boys to a mall in Denver so that they could sit in Mac's lap.
Mac, do you have a rate? Can we book you?
Friends and family rate, you know? Okay.
There you go.
He doesn't do the mall. No, he's coming to Duck Commander on December the 14th. Yeah. What? It's the same one we had for Duck Dynasty that time when we did that, right?
He said, y'all are in a hurry. Santa Claus is not here. I just didn't know that there was a whole recruitment process. Like, did somebody submit a headshot of you or something?
And without having some help from your friends, right? Yeah. You need people to stand in the gap while you're finishing up the toys and doing all the things.
But you can use code MAC10 to save 10% off of your... Oh, man. Well, Mike, thank you so much for joining us today. It is always our pleasure.

Yeah, that's right. Agreed. The jolliest man on earth. Agreed, yeah.
That's right.
Yeah. That's bull. I'm too far gone.
Cause I think Mac would tell you too. Ain't nobody been further gone than he was.
Oh yeah. Yeah. He's been extremely transparent and all the duck blind conversations and everything through the years and all the celebrate recovery stuff he does. Uh, there, you would be struggle to find somebody as lost as Mr. Owen was. Um, you know, so that Mac is cool. And now he, Spreads joy through Celebrate Recovery and via the Denver Mall.
Uh-oh.
Because I don't know this, because this is either going one way or the other, and I don't really know.
Well, yeah.
Okay.
Uh, you're 15.
Yeah. Church.
Yeah. I mean, that can't be trash. I was just trying to think of something where adults are going anyway. I was trying to think of something to not make it inconvenient. Oh, y'all 15. Y'all go see Moana too. That'd be tight. Yeah. What are you laughing at? Hunter's already seen it. They're from Evansville.
Oh, yeah. They got to be Baptist. Hey, we were good dancers. Can Baptist dance? Stop laughing, Hunter.
Pizza.
Well, you don't have to ask the question. Just ask her if she wants to go eat pizza. If she says no... If she says no to pizza, you run anyway. Yeah, you got to go, man. Like, that ain't okay.
Yeah.
15.
Will you go to prom with me?
Oh, he said, Miss Davis, will you go prom with me? Is that the teacher?
That's Varsity Blues.

No, it's not. You got to get better friends.
What'd she say this time?
Really? Hey, all right. You know what's about a Christmas light?
Can we say something, though, about all the email we get? Hunter. Hunter ain't scared, y'all.
I got questions. Is that you? That's Phil. Oh, wow. Who are the two ladies? It's not Christine and it's not Alicia, so I got a question.
I live by the motto, period, in life. The worst thing they can say. Is no. Is no. And slap you. Move on.
Yeah. Look at Hunter. Hunter's going back to prom. Hunter, are you taking a sign with you tomorrow? Do not. Please don't.
No, you shouldn't. That's why we're here, Hunter.
Bed bags.

Be frugal. Be frugal. A little bit of frugalness go a long, long way. That's fantastic. But preacher's kids, where do they go? Oh, we send them to eat pizza. Okay.
I don't know much about Evansville, Indiana, other than I tried to fly in there one time, which was next to impossible.
Yeah. It's pretty small. It's right across the river from Louisville. No, not Louisville.
Yeah. Oh, go to the zoo. In the winter? Yeah.
Ain't it cold, though? I ain't trying to walk around and look at them animals being cold.
Yeah, because they're not burning up. Okay. And the baking in the sun. There you go.
So rude. That river's a tough place to fish, man. You read everything about it. That place is hard to catch one, Ohio River. Like the Washtenaw. Yeah, like the Washtenaw. Well, Washtenaw just ain't got no water in it. Ugh. That's neither here nor there. How you doing now that that tournament's been canceled? That's kind of a toughie, ain't it, for y'all?
300 boats were coming to fish Washtenaw River, then they moved it. Because the Corps of Engineers.
Jerks. All he got was his book from the book fair.
Yeah, from out of town. We're good. Oh, man.
Yeah, well, that's a big deal, not even just for y'all, for this whole town. So that's what really sucks about it. Local economy could have really grabbed a boost here right at the holiday season. Big good people eating out, hotels full, all the things.
all the things but uh you know hey whatever happens happens for a reason so the good lord didn't want it to happen for now we'll we'll readjust whatever that is that's um yeah interesting man all the yeah i'm still stuck on mac being mall santa too if i'm being honest it's
I walked in the morning. Me and Big Dave just sat down and started chatting. He was standing up. He pulled up a chair. I said, well, I reckon I'll sit here with him. And we waited on Johnny D to get to work. Yep. He wasn't that far behind me, though. It was good. I found a new line that I told him I was going to steal. Oh, no.
Elf, why are you mad? I wasn't feeling good that day. Si, you do know that there's a book out there that exists. It's called, like, Uncle Si the Christmas Elf, right? Yeah. That's it.
Somebody tells you something you don't want to do, Big Dave looked at him and said, I'd rather have polio.
Yeah. Then it's going to come back on him.
Awful. But it's such an old disease. Most people these days don't even know what you're talking about.
Mm-hmm. Good for us. Didn't we eradicate that one? Way to go, America and the world. Yeah, we eradicated him. You're going to talk about a good time to be alive. I don't think he's a thing anymore. But maybe.
Were you the age where they just walked around school and gave you that shot or whatever?
Yeah, like a little circle. Some people say they still got the little circle in there.
In the school building? Yeah, you get that in school. Like you walked up to the schoolhouse and they pop.
Yeah.
you'll have it forever yeah that's interesting that's one of them weird facts you remember i don't have that oh they start walking around with needles in my school i'm leaving school hey don't worry they wouldn't let y'all dance chance of needles coming through there still can't dance either oh they still is that why they have silent disco or whatever it's called
We should try it. Is that better for you? I like it. Just playing over the speakers or?
You look like Uncle Si the IRS Elf or something. I mean, like, your taxes are past due or something. I don't even know what to think. I've never seen that. You must have just woke up. That's what it looks like.
Ah. That's what I want to do. And the teachers know that you're preoccupied. Yeah. Right. Silent discos. It's a thought. Silent disco. And y'all, are they like Bluetoothable headphones? I guess.
Okay.
So this is a business. This is a business going around doing silent disco. Silent disco business. Everybody knows about it.
John Travolta.
Well, there you go, folks. You never know what you're going to hear on this deal, but that's what you got today. Johnny D, you got a Bible verse you want? Mac already sent us out with one. Oh, did he? Yeah. Yeah. I forgot. What was it?
We'll see y'all next time. We're out.
Yeah, because I know it's not his heart was too small.
So we had a very special guest stop by the house the other day for the boys. I'm texting this to Johnny D. And... Boom.
That is not the issue.
and his head might not be screwed on the hat might be too tight a hat yeah something so you was he ain't liking something so i was in a picture with two females he ain't smiling and he ain't got his arm around now you're right that's unusual that is wild yeah that might be the problem yeah you just woke up and you're wearing candy cane pants that's right they aren't really that tight though they look kind of cozy were they comfortable
yeah yeah yeah i mean you still got him i hope so he is wearing the all-new duck commander socks today look i gave that man two pairs of socks that day you thought he won the moon so we got them duck commander socks back it's the way into size heart socks socks yeah absolutely he didn't even have to got a lot of the old duck commander socks i got two pair of the green ones that i wear hunting just about every single day
Yeah, no. No, I went with the green ones.
Yeah, so if you think you got everything Duck Commander odds are, you probably don't because we got socks. And I order you some socks. And don't forget, add them teacups.
Oh, happy elf. You know why? He got the microphone. Well, probably. That's what makes Si Robertson a happy elf. Give him the microphone. You over there putting him in a corner. So many shoes.
Don't put Elfie in the corner. That is. Wait, what is, is that a palm tree? Like a blow up palm tree?
Oh my goodness. I got way more questions than that. I will say if you hired Phil and size your Christmas entertainment, you are definitely rednecker than me. It's true. Okay, so then the real question, how was the food? Because I know they fed you. Excellent.
What?
Oh, it wasn't like cater. Okay, I got you. Did Cy catch a shrimp?
Okay. Had the...
It is fun. Yeah, if you get a good one, it's worth the show, man.
What's that?
When I was a kid. Like, I wanted to do it as a job. He did it. So I did it on Duck Dynasty. He did it on Duck Family Treasure.
I love where you're going with this and I don't know where.
At Hooters, you ain't gotta be Asian. I mean, you see where I was like, I thought you like. You gotta fit a stereotype. I thought you were gonna say big hands or like, I didn't know where we were going. Coordination. Yeah, big feet.
That's the real one. No, this is one of Santa's helpers that spreads Christmas joy before... That looks joyful. Before Christmas Day. And my man Jackson just... Full of Christmas joy. Just struggling, man. He's struggling. No, the...
I'm willing for it to. So you're saying like, oh boy, and the chosen has been typecast as Jesus. You're saying that hibachi chefs should be typecast. I mean, like there's a prerequisite in what you're doing.
And I'm like, this isn't fun. So since we're going down that road. If you had to typecast a Waffle House cook, what would you go with? I could do that. You could do that. I could do that job.
You're going to have to leave that watch at home.
Yeah, I was always wondering if that's how many years they've been there or how many years they got left. On the work release. Yeah, I've never asked for the math equation.
That's awesome.
I love that place. Speaking of token of sobriety, we have got our good friend, an original duck man. Chip Knight. And a global leader. Universal director. Universal director of Celebrate Recovery.

You ain't paid your bill?
Evidently.
Amen to that. But anyway, that's fantastic. Mike, to pry in on you a little bit, what brings you to town this time, friend?
Duck hunting? You heard the duck hunting was so good, you decided you'd come back and cook biscuits? That's exactly right.
Let me tell you right now, if you went duck hunting with us, that's all you'd be doing is cooking fish.
Man, he's my little socialite, but not with people in costume, apparently. The beard was too big. Yeah, I would have lost a lot of money on that interaction. I was expecting Waylon to be headed for the door and Jackson about, oh, yes, he's the opposite. Yeah. And so Jackson was like, he finally he finally broke down some trust issues and walls with him. And, you know, it just took a minute.
I bought one raw the other day for $22.11. Yeah.
No, hold on, hold on. I started laughing. Because we have never prepared for a single podcast in the world. And then we're like, we should bring our friend Russell in to talk about tips. And I said, it will be the first time somebody came in.
He's studied. He's called a few other experts.
So it's your anniversary, and you're going to have Church's Chicken.
The etymology, he's going to know all these things.
I once had a friend going to the Waffle House. We will not say his name, but he was how friends are in college when they show up to the Waffle House at 2 a.m., And he looked at that waitress dead in the eyes and said, I'm about to tip you $70. What kind of service are we going to get? And I was like, you are a jerk. That was so rude. And she said the same as everybody else. And he goes, huh?
She goes, I give everybody great service. And I was like, that's a pretty good answer. Because I was embarrassed. I waited for him to go to the bathroom and he left his wallet and I paid for the meal and tipped her a hundred bucks.
It is so hard to get my kid to eat healthy. The other two are great, but that one, he's just trying to live on waffles.
How many years is it? What year is this? Oh, good grief.
2025.
He's very thirsty. I drink a lot of water.
Thanks for coming on and ruining all this. No, he's a little of both, baby. Dr. Deans, baby. Yeah, he literally said, I put doctors in. They treat you better at the motels.
Have you ever been able to pull off Anniversary Church's chicken, Russell?
Doctor of Shiner.
There's probably ichthyology. I was like, how do you not know the word for fishologist?
I thought insure with an E was that a protein shake for old people.
Well, because we got to break down what kind of barber this is. Because you might think Russell is just cutting like Cy and the old people around the honey holes here. No, he's got like.
Women pay better tips.
Not her story, but it is his. I know.
You don't care. There you go. But there has been a study done. I fall into that category. By me personally. He's going to book a haircut today.
I personally have done this study. In the past decade, I've spent a grand total of maybe $100 at the barbershop, and my wife has spent maybe a million. Yeah. That's rounded up probably. But women, you got to make more money cutting women's hair, huh? Yeah.
Have you seen kids these days?
They got blue hair, pink hair, purple hair. Yeah.
Hey, Rucker. Yo. You got any subscriptions you forgot about? Man, several. Well, at least you're honest about it because most people would say they don't have any, but we got an app that will let you know about your personal finance. Well, I use Rocket Money. Oh, well, that's why you know.
That's more money, Martin.
I got good stories of old men getting in fights. You got to have like... You got to have the dirt on all the way.
And conservatives have boats on top of the water.
Well, Martin's a liberal because he drinks more water than anybody I know. That's all I drink is water. You drink so much water. Well, the problem is... Alcohol and diets and all that, that ain't good for you.
If you're outside, you're in big trouble.
Water guy. Sparkling water.
But I think it's just a CO2 cartridge. I tried to bring this up a second ago. And y'all can say whatever you want about Cokes being bad for you or Dr. Pepper, but that sparkling swill water that they drink in England and stuff, that is disgusting. What you talking about? Carbonated water.
They don't even know what happened 300 years ago. I like when they're like, oh, no, the weather was doing this 300 years ago. I was like, we didn't have a weatherman. No. We didn't have nothing. Hey, tell me why you do the carbonated water. I'm trying to find it right now. You just force pressurized carbon dioxide into still water. He was right. There you go. You shouldn't call it still water.
It's just water.
Anyway, I'm going to be broke one day. Anyway, but that's because I did. What's funny is we brought Russell in to talk about a very important topic. Yeah. It's sweeping the nation. Yeah, it's in the news. I got a tip. It's all over. Today. You got a tip? Did you put the tip jar out? No, because I don't want to offend people, and that scares me.
Well, I'm glad to be here.
No, not none. There's a hefty amount of acid in lemons. And look how dark it is.
Beth, do the Canadians drink carbonated water? Like when they go to the restaurant, do you have to specify which water you want? Okay, good.
How did it get to your brain?
As long as there's not a spork in my head, I'm fine. Yeah.
Nah, look how good like Big Dave turned out.
You know, there's a line I draw.
Very hard in the sand. If I come to your house and there's paper straws, we will not be friends anymore.
But some guy, it was like 1806, he handed me two tens. He said, hey, you just keep it. And I was like, I'm not getting taxed on this $1.94. Yeah, there you go, man. Look at God. So that was my second tip I've ever got. Did you like it? I just put it in the cash register.
Paper straws are of the devil. They were tricked by Satan himself to upset us and ruin our beverages.
That's the worst thing in the world. Yeah, that's dumb.
He even wore a camo shirt to fit in. Look, everything fits but them glasses.
Have you watched that movie, Fly Me to the Moon? Uh-uh.
And then they were like, well, they win. Nobody wanted to come in second?
Pregnant women. Really? Russell has a news station that not the rest of us get. It's actually fascinating. Is it called ChatGPT? Yeah, I think he's just reading comic books and telling us his things.
That's the kind of stuff Russell shows up. He's like, hey, man, I've been thinking about something. I really need to get your input on it. I'm like, oh, man, yeah. You've been going through something. He's like, yeah, so I was thinking about all the dollars.
Oh, boy, you're about to get Russell going.
Church buildings. Russell? You have the floor. About what? The churches?
I was hurt. When Alex brought in pastries for everybody, I passed. I said, uh-uh. I'm hurting. But, Russell, how much do you get tipped? Let's just get real weird, real fast.
Russell, at our church, sometimes them people's elbows don't get all the way under, and I get nervous. The way I grew up, you had to get some.
Hey, Russell, did you know baptism happens to be a thing he loves? Oh, I love it.
Hey, I do have a funny story about that real quick.
Trim it up. He's got some of this pastry still in his beard. Look at there. Praise the Lord.
I fully agree. Verse of the day. Here's how we end it. Psalm 133.1. How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.
Amen. Whether you're baptizing forwards or backwards, just believe in Jesus is what we're asking. And tip your barber. And be sure to tip your barber.
Yeah.
Now, there's a few little exceptions. I didn't say give to Biden what's Biden.
In the world. In the world.
Did you shoot them yourself? I did not. They like that shirt.
There you go. Look at there. You know what I just learned when he walked in? He had never met Cy.
We don't go to barbershops. I recently started going, and I never know what to do.
Pond hoppers 318 on the ground.
But the... Bill Dance Jr. over here.
It's not like a petting zoo on the wall.
Leave Dad out of it. Yeah. Martin, you know what I'm not? What? A sucker. And I don't want our fans to get suckered into the same old free phone game by Big Wireless. When you hear free phone, that comes with a lot of fine print, like requiring for you to sign up for four lines plus activation fees, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus.
And at the end of the day, you've paid for that free phone. Like three times over. There's a better way. Pure Talk, our sponsor and my wireless company. Where is my Pure Talk? Here it is. Has a much better offer with a qualifying plan of just $35 a month. You can get a brand new Samsung Galaxy A26. Guess how much, Rucker? Zero dollars. Well, free, that's right.
This phone has virtually indestructible Gorilla Glass, which is good for me because I'm rough on equipment. And that captures beautiful wide-angle photos with next-generation camera lenses. I like taking photos, and I need a phone that takes photos for social media.
All you need to do is switch to Pure Talk for just $35 a month. You can get unlimited talk, unlimited text, and 15 gigs of data with a mobile hotspot, all on America's most dependable phone. 5G network. There you go. Super easy. Fired my phone up. Boom. I was with Pure Talk.
That's important. Keeping that number in case any of my friends from high school want to call me. They don't. You're correct. Hey, but you know what I do like about these guys? They've donated 50 grand to provide scholarships to support veterans learning trades after active duty. They're helping eliminate veteran debt, and they're raising donations to end veteran suicide.
Sighs of veterans, stones of veterans. Veterans are something we support, and so does Pure Talk. So go to puretalk.com slash... duck to make the switch again that's puretalk.com slash duck to claim your free samsung galaxy with qualifying plan when you switch to pure talk wireless by americans for americans so
Not for me.
Where was your wife a waitress?
My wife was a waitress at the Red Lobster. She made way more money than me working at the grocery store.
It's not the local worshiping place.
If you don't really remember him, you put a description of him in the contact.
I don't know. There's just enough barges that come up that river to be real dangerous when you're rounding a curve and you face first in the one. I don't get it.
Man.
Both of them. Look, so I've given you the juice.
He's from St. Louis.

What are we doing? We're just appreciating each other.
Yeah, it's kind of like Thanksgiving.
Yeah.
Yeah, we went with sandwich.
Yeah, appreciation.
Or we could have Fritos. I wouldn't even put them in my top ten, I don't think. Me either. Like a regulation. You talking about like a yellow bag of Lay's?
That ain't enough in there. That's a top ten chip for sure.
Sir, those would be called scoops.
Oh, I got it.
I think so.
And these are not in any order. Old Ranch Doritos. One. Old Ranch Doritos fire. There's one. Fritos. And I say Fritos. Is it all Fritos? Because I love chili cheese Fritos.
I used to live off Fritos. I know that's weird, but I love chili cheese Fritos. Yeah, or the honey. Twisted ones. I don't eat them. What? I don't care. The honey barbecue ones, I don't care for them.
A lot. I don't know. They filled up the duck holes plus some.
He said the one was good. Yeah. What, chili cheese? Yeah, they're good. See, I would put a Frito scoop above it for the tinsel strength. Like...
That seems a little aggressive. It's a little aggressive. A little aggressive. Yeah. Whipped cream cheese on a chip.
I'm going to buy me a salsa fire.
Sun Chips Garden Salsa Fire.
I might go over and get me some. The problem is you got to pay full price because you're not an employee. Boy, I know the code to get in the door. Employee discount gone.
There is. I actually think it's better than the employee one.
An oatmeal cream pie.
It ain't no good. But what's the liquid? Chocolate drink. It ain't no good. I think it's just chocolate and water. Is it water?
Man. The most important thing you got to do. And cheese chunks. For them to get the full experience is throw the Coca-Colas in the ice chest with the fish.
That's right. They get the slime taste. I hated that. And it tastes like 1997 all over again. That's right.
I think you're really missing the boat if you take somebody fishing and don't offer them a ham sandwich. Oh, that's going to be in there. I was just making sure. Besides that. Okay.
Reese's Cups. Because why not? I mean, they got a little trash involved.
I'm a man who loves being a saucer, but I ain't drinking that jelly.
It is. Yeah. Well, that's about like Yoo-Hoo being a chocolate drink.
I've just always been confused on what Yoohoo was. Yoohoo.
Connor, when's the last time you had a Yoohoo?
I kind of want you to because I want to read the ingredients on it. Do you want me to go get one? I want to know what chocolate.
I'm going to get a chocolate. Go get a Yoo-Hoo. I want to know what it is. I never had one. I really want to know what it is. Johnny D is going to be right back. But he's also going to be right back.
My man bought two of them. Yoo-hoo. Here we go. It says shake it. That's right.
You got to shake it, baby.
The number one ingredient.
Water.
Well, there's, I mean, it's a whole can of it. Good source of vitamins. Why do I feel like that's not true? Put your headset on. Gosh, my.
I'm so nervous. Don't you love marketing people? 99% fat and caffeine free, gluten free. Never mind the 36 grams of sugar it's got.
i haven't had a buzzer fixing to go off oh buddy you the worst part about this is i'm logging everything i eat right now well 150 and i'm gonna have to put a half of you who martin what do you say martin it's got 0.3 milligrams of riboflavin i don't know what that is what is your your take on it martin i ain't i ain't had none yet oh yeah so good is it oh yeah good See? No. That's good. No.
Yeah, it's because you're so miserable hunting.
No, I shook it.
When I taste that, I'm expecting like a milk consistency, not just water.
Oh, by the way, these suckers done got cheap. I thought a can was 12 ounces. They 11.
I'm going to leave that one alone. I'm going to let that one be.
That's right.
Man, it's hard.
That's why I was reading it. And I don't know what the definition of good is either. It's got vitamin D, calcium, iron, potassium.
Vitamin A, riboflavin.
Yep, good for you. Good source of vitamin. 99% fat-free, caffeine-free, gluten-free. That's what you need. And overall, just not very good.
Refrigerate after opening. Is somebody really just going to go sit this back in the fridge?
Well, yeah, they're like, if you scan that, then you're not. You didn't care anyway. This ain't the app for you.
Guys, I don't like like chocolate supposed to be thicker than that. No matter what form it comes in.
Yep, that's about it.
You know what I prefer to call it? Chocolate drink? Good. Yeah, I mean, I could see where a child would like his. Like, Bobby probably likes his because he drinks a gallon of chocolate milk every other day. Good.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not nasty. How many points is it? It's too many. It's not. Ding, ding, ding, ding. His ticker just went off too.
Yeah. I feel like I need to go find a cat and lick his behind. Like, it just ain't there. I wouldn't go that far.
Yeah, I mean, you'll probably have kids. I'm more of a Powerade Zero kind of guy. Yeah.
You can guess where he's from. Alabama. Downsville.
Where's he from, Hunter? Tennessee. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right, so Si's got a headset because- Have you watched this episode?
There you go. And also, Si is not on a cell phone. No.
The good news is you don't look naked.
Miss Christine does have an iPhone. I only know that because she Bluetooths.
They figured out where you's from, location, all the services.
That's pretty wild, ain't it? Where's a dipstick on a Honda Fit?
I mean, where you'd imagine it would be. Yeah.
No dipstick. So what do you do? You take it to a Toyota dealer and say, how much transmission fluid I got up in here?
And you quit driving it like a NASCAR? I don't drive it like that all the time. Who else you got, Hunter?
Oh, man. Lordy.
A one-time deal?
Oklahoma.
Yeah. Well, we got 50 options.
Forward-facing sonar. Oh, I went somewhere else. Okay. I got you covered. Forward-facing sonar. Okay, good. I was like, that's a pretty aggressive take.
Okay.
We play Mario Kart on New Year's Eve. That was funny when you got kids. Yeah, we play karts on New Year's Eve.
I've spent way too many hours playing that game.
When I was younger. Me and him. I always thought I would. Did you think you were good at it?
Okay. Yeah. Next time you get a chance, hop in something called like Xbox Live or whatever the PlayStation model of that is, and when you think you're good at something, you get out there and play them boys, and you realize, yeah, I'm not that good. Nope.
I mean, it was unbelievable how good some people were.
Well, I mean, I was like every time I play, I shoot like 20 under, right? So you're thinking you're pretty good. No, buddy. No, them boys.
Hunter.
Super Nintendo Bassmasters Classic.
Boy, I bet that was a toughie.
And you did find it on Christmas.
Brittany's like halfway through that.
Yeah.
Nope. I mean, there is one thing that's probably not newsworthy, but it is newsworthy. What? What is that? Well, Goblin, I figured you'd know. What? You don't know, Goblin? I don't know. Goblin, do you want to say it or do you want us to say it?
Yeah.
Perfect. There you go. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck. All right, Dan.
It's kind of like Robin Hood. Not really. Reverse Robin Hood. I don't know. No, because he was never poor.
Back in the gap. Yeah, but I may not.
But he don't like getting himself new stuff. The problem is, like, on your list of Christmas gifts for your dad, did you, like, price it at cost or at retail on how much you spent on your dad to get Christmas presents? That's the real question.
Where's he going?
Somewhere muddy. It's muddy water around these parts. We got this winter storm. I went tipping around to the grocery store. Did you go somewhere this morning? Yeah, I went duck hunting. What? Yeah, it was terrible.
No, I really wasn't that cold, but. It's been blowing a little bit. Yeah, it was a little breezy. But I went last night because I had to go get a couple things from the grocery store. And these people were out there acting like it was some kind of snowpocalypse. Now, I get it. We ain't really had a true cold front all winter. But, y'all.
Yeah, that's why I said this was just a cold front. And everybody was out there. They had toilet paper stacked up, bread, milk.
Why did they do that?
Good night. Wipe your butt with it. I got a bidet.
I was just getting a couple of what I was about to cook. I wasn't there to stock up. I was just getting dinner.
Man, retirement sounds awesome. Was it good? Do you hold that handle up like this?
He just nipping on it just a little bit.
I got to give him a little piece of it whenever he needs it. Oh, yeah. Golly. Happy retirement, Goblin.
Unbelievable.
All my life. Goblin was a lot nicer on his retirement than Si. Goblin gave y'all a heads up, huh? Yeah, Goblin gave plenty of notice. I heard him in June. Si walked in here, threw a bag of reeds in my lap, and walked out.
Yeah. Johnny D can now add you to the group text.
Yeah, that's a very true story. On a Wednesday night, because he was headed to church. 100%.
Yeah.
Yeah. I drove up so fast. It just didn't even make sense how fast I drove up. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I guarantee you. What are you doing over there, old man?
You are by far the longest. You've been here longer than Willie. You're the resident. Has he really? Yeah. You won't beat Willie. He's the resident. Well, I mean, if we're talking about time served, yeah, you will. But, like, we're talking about actual time in the office. Of course he will.
The list of former Duck Commander employees group text. John Goblin, congratulations on your retirement, my friend.

but if i keep listening to this podcast i'll keep coming to this building i mean you know hey it is what it is um that's that's the goal the duck call room podcast just a bunch of retired guys that don't work at duck commander yeah i guess phil's got phil got goblin jace got goblin yeah how long's becky been around She was just a smidge before me. It was probably 2007, I bet.
I mean, that's technically quitting. That's like waving a white flag. I'm done. he's done and i don't disagree 25 years that's tight that's plenty i'm ready to go fishing are you well it's awful cold today well yeah you got a text message called crappie kirby i'd love to scroll goblins contacts if one of them's called crappie kirby oh yeah hey Godwin's like me.
Jordan and Angela were born here. Yeah. Right? Well, I mean, it seems like it, but. Were they before you? They come right out of college. Yeah, they were like 2006. When Buck Commander started is when Jordan. Jace Lemonick. I mean, I don't know technically from his last day to firing when he was, you know, he got fired a couple of times, so.
He never, he just showed up the next day. Yeah, he just kept coming. He was like, hey, you're fired. And then Jordan was at work the next day, you know. So he. He said, no.
Yeah. Yeah, he just hung around. Now he's still here thriving, you know. Interesting. We got Godwin. We'll have to have Godwin's, I don't want to call him replacement, but kid we hired because ain't nobody going to replace Godwin. We replaced Godwin with a child? Well, not replace because you can't replace Godwin. I'm surprised it took only one. Yeah.
Well, that's why I say this and that's why I'm not calling it a replacement. There may be more than one. So, uh, but no, the kid Cade from, uh, from sports camp. Yeah, that day he was building his own Turkey and duck calls anyway. So he's a good kid that always comes sportsman camp at Camp Chiocas. I hollered at him and say, where's he from? Florida. He moved here from Florida.
He moved here from Florida. He is now a Louisiana resident. Today's day one for him. Yeah. Where is he? He's down at the L&M building. Down there building duck calls, I hope. Because I'm tired of sitting in there building them. I've been building them for the last month. I ain't doing it. Yeah. Don't do it, Goblin. Oh, Goblin. We're going to get like that week of rain. Goblin going to get bored.
He slide back up here. I pay him by the hour for a couple of, you know, a few.
I'll make me some money. How are you going to go from retired to working overtime? Now, this don't make no sense.
Darwin sounds like he's about to get a new start date. That's right.
Yeah, that's wild.
We just send them out the door. Hey, you put Godwin in charge of that shiner tank, I'm coming. I'm about to make things right. We're going to get rid of all this crap and get some big ones. Look, I've dealt with Godwin on inventory for years. I like his camp. This counts solid.
This counts solid. It's a good thing y'all weigh them now. Because if you did it per one, you'd be in a bind. I'm going to scale a little heavy too. I've been fishing with him. I'm going to scale away a little heavy. It'll be all right.
Where are we going, Martin?
Big weekend.
You got to play the slow game on Martin. We're going to get him one day. Got one.
If y'all want to know something, when the cameras are off, I'll tell you the whole spiel. It's Jesus, and then you remove distractions, and you see what happens.
Oh, this is going to be magical.
One time somebody said, Martin, you coming on this men's retreat? He looked down and said, I'm more of a stand your ground kind of fella.
We're going to give you a bed and everything.
Now, you know how we get them. Brittany, Brittany going to go on one of them women's retreats because last I checked, Brittany's calendar is full of women's Bible studies and everything else under the sun.
Swing by on your way home.
There's time around the table.
They have a Bible study and learn how to cook something that they claim is healthy, but it probably don't taste good.
People always ask you the secret.
When people ask me how I lost weight, I'm like, well, I'm hungry right now.
You got to stay hungry.
Martin will retreat one day. Phillip, you'd be easy to talk into. Oh, yeah. You just need a calendar.
You just need Si to leave you alone for a weekend. Yeah. I'm going to take Si with me.
Basically.
We'd make it work.
When I went, I slept next to some dude with a CPAP machine that sounded like he was Darth Vader, but like...
I have too. Si brings his with him. So we'll make it work.
I ain't kidding you though. There's this other dude. When I went on a men's retreat, they take your phones away. You don't know where you're going. And the first night I'm like, I shouldn't be here. This is not for me. I'm good with my walk with Christ. Like I might walk home, see you guys later. And I laid down and there was this dude with a ponytail, jeans, and his shoes on asleep.
And he was snoring a noise that I still can't recreate to this day. And I was like, this is wild. But it changed my whole life, so it was worth it. There you go. I also slept two hours that night.
I'm just being honest with you, Mark.
I guess. I don't know. They took my watch. I don't know.
No watch. No, nothing. You're just out there with you and your thoughts. And it is amazing what you and your thoughts can come up with.
You're still playing Candy Crush in a deer stand.
What you got going on?
I've been getting emails every day. Hey. About what? Due to this trade war, prices are going up. This, that, the other. I see prices going up all day, every day. And here's a thought. Your next cell phone could cost you two to three times what they cost today. So I'm here to tell you, get your new cell phone now before the price increases take effect.

Have you seen it? It's all the rage on Elon Musk's formerly known as Twitter, now known as X. Okay. 100 men fighting. One gorilla. Bare hands. Somebody said if 100 men commit, they'd win. 100 men versus one gorilla.
Who wins in a fight?
But if they're committed.
As soon as he rips that first one's arm off and beats him with it. Yeah, he's like, no. It's going to be.
Do you think 100 people could kill one gorilla? 100 people.
But you're locked in a cage.
Godwin, whose side are you on?
It's going to have to be a large cage.
I'm going to say boredom wasn't the problem.
I'm going to just guess they were just, you know, they go to La La Land often.
I think if you got the right 100 people.
Are there 100 Navy SEALs?
Yeah, I'm not part of the equation that can beat the gorilla.
Like Jay Stone put him in a leg lock or something?
He too skinny.
No, he'd just grab your hand and toss you.
I'm pretty sure I'm on the gorilla side, but I'm trying to come up with a hundred human beings that could do it.
But you can't. Well. You're in a WWE cage.
The better.
Your wives, son-in-law, my son, Cy, Willie, Missy, Phil.
Well, people are making lists. Like, you get Vince Wilfork, Ray Lewis, Shaquille O'Neal. No. What? Imagine being in the huddle with Ray Lewis, and he's telling you, we're going to go rip this gorilla out.
Oh goodness gracious, Martin.
Peyton who?
He got paid.
Now he's doing Nestle Tollhouse commercials with my cousin.
We're in a weird transition of all that.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of what I would have done.
Well, I probably would have had one. Actually, if you would have given me like five million dollars at the age of 18.
I don't think. I've always said, I get the people. Everybody's like, how could you win the lottery and then go broke? I'd be like, because it's fun.
I would go down in the biggest blaze of glory. I would give some money to some things. No. at 18 at 18 at 35 oh at 35 i would totally do it now so i could not have to work again i would do i'd be back at work in two years but those two years would be y'all be like y'all see john david riding that giraffe he finally did what uncle si said he was gonna do i would be opening up martinguides.com
You'd be retired.
It is crazy when you really consider the amount of money.
They lippy. Carter was supposed to be born right now.
Yeah, I'm just, I know myself.
and then i'd erect that sucker i don't go fast i went to jail again yeah i'd erect that sucker going around a bend somewhere i don't know that's one thing i wouldn't have spent any money on that would have been like you want to get a boat motor yeah i'm fine with the boat it just needs to go slow yeah well don't ride with goblin goblin goblin won't go fast i'm that i'm that weirdo that people are like hey you want to go sales and i'm like how fast do you drive your boat
Like, get it on plane. That's the fast you need to go.
I'm in with you.

Where y'all going?
I can't wait.
I don't want to.
I don't want to wish my life away because I'm in the prime of a lot of fun things going on. But man, just waking up in the morning, watching TV with my wife and eating toast. And I can't imagine watching TV in the morning. And then I guess I'll go fishing.
He wants to be, though. He thinks because he's bigger than a few adults we know, he's allowed to sit in the front seat now. I don't blame him.
I mean, that sounds magical. And you're going to probably give her a Godwin crappie rod for her birthday. Two of them. The man's got it figured out. Retirement sounds awesome.
That's kind of my point. Allison got mad at me for letting him ride in the front seat. Just through town the other day, and I was like, he's bigger than some people I know that drive.
Hey, Martin.
Are you on Ancestry.com?
Somebody's your fourth cousin.
Shelly.
Well, I'm sure they do.
Somebody from Lafayette sent in a photo of her ancestry.com, and she found a relative from here that's a fourth cousin. His name is Justin Martin, and she was wondering if it was you.
We do all go back to Noah.
I think it's a size thing more than an age thing.
But it leads me to my next point. Have you guys ever Googled the cast of Duck Dynasty?
No, we're not going to talk about. We on it. We're not going to talk about how I found this.
So I don't care if you bleep all that out. We can't.
Leave all his name out and stuff. There's a guy that's in town that's mad at all the churches.
Anyways, this guy posted a picture of the Duck Dynasty cast and was basically kind of blasting them. But he just Googled Duck Dynasty cast. And there's a picture of Kay, Phil, Willie, Cy, Corey, Sadie, John Luke, Jace, Missy. Godwin. Godwin's on there. Jace is on there twice. He's such a big star. Willie's on there a couple times. Cole, Al, Rebecca, Cy. But there's also Justin Martins. Let's see.
There he is. That's you. Remember? I've changed.
What happened to you, Martin?
Who is this?
This is not the Justin Martin I know and love from Duck Dynasty.
No, there's the dubstep guy, but the guy that's your photograph is an actor. There you go.
We love Jay Martin. It's his Twitter name.
I've never seen any of the movies he's in.
But I don't think I'm the target audience.
This is the hottest room in America.
Hey! Hey!
So that's why.
Oh, I was giggling because that dude was like, look at all these clowns from Duck Dynasty. And in the picture of you, I was just sitting there laughing my butt off. As a young, thin, African-American male. Yeah. Literally, that guy's 5'8". Yeah.
Well, and he's black.
Nothing like you.
Well, I was just thinking of the ancestry, and then I saw that picture of Martin, and I had to. But hey, you got to be careful out there. You never know who shares your name.
He will be registered when he gets out. He's an offender. I think he gets out in about seven years. I looked it up the other day. Yeah. I actually want to talk to him when he gets out. I want him to serve his time.
Oh, good.
He needs it. He might not. I don't know what he's doing in jail. Hopefully, he turned his life around. 10 to 20, I think. In 2014, 15, from about 2012 to about 2015-
some old boy was causing ruckus in town mayhem if you will and his name happened to rhyme with pon david owen yeah because it was exactly the same as mine and he's like a year older than me and it was just like well and every time he'd do something people would get mad at him i had people call me saying i'm about to come whoop you for what you said to my sister i'm like Nope, wrong guy.
This is my wife, Allison.
I'm cool. We're good. And then he would get arrested. And KTVE, you dirty dogs, literally put up a thing that said John David Owen of West Monroe. Arrested for heinous acts. Like, just straight heinous.
What did you get? Did you get the Jay Stone special?
What'd you do?
No, there's people called the church.
Said, did y'all see what John David did?
Yeah. And then they were like, and I'm like, oh, no. Like, oh, they were coming for me. Somebody on there was like, I can't believe the Robertsons would hire him.
Anyway.
He's been in jail for a long time. Makes me feel bad.
Philip McMillan Duck Dynasty shows up first. There you go. Hold up. I got another Philip McMillan.
No. Dang. It's actually a guy from LinkedIn that works for the Convoy of Hope.
The Brad McNeely special.
Not going to.
Game changer.
Listen to this.
Hunter Jones. Okay. Oh, that's the most. I know.
He's an ice hockey player.
He's a pitcher. Is he witty?
There's a local runner.
He laughed. The sad part is it just shows a bunch of athletic people. Yeah. No farmers. So it's not him. No farmers, no gamers. There's even one athletic girl. Oh, wow.
Yeah, there's a lot of Hunter Jones out there.
There you go. Hunter just had a heart attack. That was the best Cy impression I've seen in years.
What a great name, first off.
Summer Knight. You sound magical.
I mean, I bet that was a fun name in high school. Yeah.
I have a different opinion than cool and awesome. It's fantastic. Yeah. But, ma'am, welcome to our demographic. You named your child Talladega Knight, and then you expect us to one-up that with a crazier name?
My buddy Brad, not the owner of Iron Cactus Brad, but my buddy Brad, what's his business's name? Brad, I'm sorry. Call me if you ever need a port-a-potty. I'll put you in touch with Brad. He's awesome. Can't remember the name of it, though. But he would always go to Iron Cactus, and he would order nachos and french fries and then just dump the plate over.
What's the craziest name you guys have ever heard? My kid's name's Talladega Knight.
Yeah, you win. Congratulations, Summer.
I just Googled Talladega Nights. She doesn't come up.
That kid's too young. I want to talk to Summer.
Yeah.
We'll leave her voicemail and invite her on the show. Call her, Hunter. Put it on Bluetooth and call her. I need to talk to this woman.
I was literally trying to rack my mind around the craziest name I've ever heard.
um summer this is john david from the duck call room podcast there's a guy room there's goblin martin's here um i'm here we need to see a birth certificate of talladega we sure do that was awesome hey summer tally um so you're invited we're recording right now also you hit us with the ignore button so yeah oh yeah that was a that was a quick decline oh yeah call back work yeah we got yeah all right summer she's probably a brain surgeon ask for philip not these other guys
i don't know what that was that goodbye oh okay uh anyway that really matches up with an email i got though i'm not gonna well we can't top that you can't yeah i don't know how to answer your question but i think that was a little bit braggy oh that was like hey what's the craziest name y'all ever heard of yeah here's my crazy name and i mean i hope matt light our good friend matt light has a child and names it bush
I think he's probably done having kids, though. Anyway. Maybe. Two years ago, I put a picture up on the screen of a fan of ours named River. River. It was her second birthday.
Now she's four. And for her fourth birthday, she ran it back. Bucky's birthday cake.
And then Brad, the owner, was like, that should just be a menu item. Yeah.
Our fans have Bucky's birthday parties and are named Talladega Night, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Hunter's going to name his kid Fruit Loop. He likes the cereal.
What are you talking about? I don't know how to return from Talladega night.
And a child named after it.
That's probably not true.
But there's not many Bristol Tennessees.
That kid's name is Talladega Knight. I love it.
Oh, that's a good point.
You know, I always try and figure out.
A Bible verse to go with what we're talking about.
No, I'm going back to the 100 people versus a gorilla.
Philippians 4.13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. But that does not mean you can go do something stupid and expect a gorilla not to rip your arm off.
Oh, that was a good one. Yeah, there you go. Well, now the one wasn't left. That gorilla beat him up too.
I hope summer night brings Talladega next week.
Wait, you used to be bent out of shape when people would give other people a senior discount?
He said, hey, and then beat up everything on this desk.
What were you doing?
Oh, I ate some crappie tacos last night, Godwin.
So good. Allison be slinging on that pit balls.
She had them on that griddle. The whole griddle was covered in crappie fillets.
Then she looked at me and she was like, man, I'm so glad Drew can do this. My brother-in-law said, well, I could too. If you let me. She goes, well, you never do. I said, how am I supposed to be able to do this?
We're going to do that from time to time. He is in a great... Also, he's absolutely worn out from singing.
Yeah, right.
He was like, yep, well, hey, he needs to hurry up. Here's my favorite part of Si's birthday party. It was tried to be incognito, and it's Ben's birthday, and I passed by the burger grind because Ben's wanted to go to the mall.
Because his birthday party was karaoke.
Oh. He hears their... I guess he watched an 80s movie or something and was like, let's go to the mall. And I was like, okay. And we couldn't find anything to buy because it's the mall. But we're passing by at noon and it says on Burger Grind, happy birthday, Uncle Si. I was like, well, we're being real inconspicuous about Si's birthday party this year. And on the way back, we swung in.
But I was like, this dude's just written out whole restaurants for his 77th birthday. Oh, Martin. What? Man, this weekend was beautiful. Oh, it was. It was so pretty out there. Like Christine. Did I tell you what we did? What? We waxed all them ugly old bushes to the roots, baby. Got them. We getting them down, and you know what we gonna do?
Get on the internet. Go to fastgrowingtrees.com. Get attacked by some spider side you threw at me. No, we're going to Fast Growing Trees. We're going to replant some flower beds. We're going to get some new trees in. Because they got the biggest online nursery anywhere in the U.S. Yeah. Thousands of different plants to choose from and over 2 million happy customers, of which I'm one of them.
It was. And then our friend Clara came in and swept the old man off his feet.
I was there for a very short amount. I showed up, hugged Si, took a picture, told him happy birthday, and then I had a nine-year-old.
From swamp people?
Oh, yeah.
I need that picture to put up.
That would have been cool.
That's right. Yeah, Lisa said here. Lisa Robertson can cook. Well, where do you think Al got that figure?
You can put meatballs in there too.
Well, they don't pick the right piece of meat to put in there. You got to get that good chuck.
Yeah.
I found that refreshing, though, that Phil still got his critique of cuisine down.
Period. Oh, it was a tough task.
You're dating. How does that check out for you? Well, about 50-50, I'd imagine. Mine's half Robertson, half Gibson. So, coin toss. Boy, you got the best of both worlds there. I guarantee you.
Well, you know, Jersey Joe, he brought some chili to the house one day. And where he messed up, he put his pot of chili right next to Lisa's pot of chili. That's where he messed up. Shouldn't have done that. Shouldn't have done that. So I took it. I didn't know who made what. So I thought it looked a little strange, you know. Yeah. But I took a bite out of it, and I said, hmm.
All that is. Meat soup.
Of course, Al got a big kick out of it, and everybody laughed. Everybody laughed except for Lisa. She was mad at me for...
But I blame that sort of critique on you and Phil. Y'all rubbed off on me too much. And I guess I could have been a little more. What's the word I'm looking for?
No, because I don't.
You missed it on that. You're right.
That's right. That's what I told you.
But I will say this. I don't think there's any danger of him, of Joe bringing chili back to the house. There you go. After that happened. Now, we laugh about it and talk about it now.
I guarantee you. I got me a good one. Yeah. Yeah. You got the best part. She got gypsy blood in her. Yeah. She's nuttier than a squirrel turd. Oh, man. Nuttier than a squirrel turd.
I want to tell you what. Everything else that I've had that he cooks. It's really good.
Most people, when you tell them, hey, look, that wasn't one of your better dishes. Well, if I'd have been smart about the thing with that roast with the wife, I'd have said, boy, them jeans sure do look good on you. By the way, next time, let's cook that roast about an hour less. If I'd have been smart, that's what I would have said. So she was really close to make a burnt end. Yeah.
But the flavor was good.
Them pepperoncinis and that ranch seasoning in there.
She put the strips in the crock pot?
Tonight is going good.
Makeup meal tonight. Cut that little sliver of gristle off the end of that strip before you eat it.
Oh, that's one thing I can't take is gristle. Oh, man. I love fat, but that gristle.
You ever get hold of a prime strip?
I've heard people say he talks over people, but y'all got to understand. The first time I ever went to the Robertson house, the whole family was there and they were playing dominoes. Okay. And when you talk about some loud, it's a yelling domino slamming, breaking tables and making fingers. The first thing I noticed was if you wanted to say something, you had to be loud.
louder than the person that was doing the talking.
They didn't think anything about talking over each other. That was just the way they were. Yeah, that's just conversation.
Every once in a while, we do this right here.
That's right. And when you get to be around 50 and you need something to help and you know what I'm talking about, it'll do the job.
What you got to remember is when you're dealing with a woman, though, it only takes one bullet to kill a horse. So don't. You got to be a horse. Well, you know the saying, don't beat a dead horse. Yep. Once you say it, that's it. Get off of it.
You fired your shot. Yeah, you can't take it back.
Well, look, you're at the point now, physically, where you can do it.
Oh, you and your prime, son.
No, but it's not really wrestling. It's therapy.
I wouldn't say I flung you on the ground. It felt like it.
But no, I really think that you could benefit from it. You know, we could film the whole thing. Well, here's the thing. Johnny D's jiu-jitsu experience.
Oh, I know it.
Si pays attention to details.
That boy got a lot of quid in him, yeah.
Bonebreaker is what we call the mat enforcer.
I have gone a few rounds with old Burley. Yeah. He's a big dude. The first round I went with him, he literally picked me up and ran into the wall. Oh, with him. And when he did it, my head snapped back.
He was looking for a stick. Hold on. No, I saw it in his eyes. I pulled guard on him, and he looked at me, and those eyes just got real big. And I could see those veins in his forehead. Oh, gosh. And the next thing I know, I was off the ground. Into the wall. Into the wall. And about half knocked you out. Oh, yeah. It was a lick. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
And I looked over at Martinez and Kuznets were sitting over there just smiling real big. You know, they thought it was hilarious. But then I had to jump on his back and choke him, you know. Yeah. But I felt the full force of Burley Dane. Yeah. And it was pretty formidable, you know.
This is probably the proudest moment of my dad career. She got a legitimate submission on an adult podcast. Last week. Legitimate. John D., you may want to start there. Okay.
This adult had just started. A woman. I mean, don't know much. And I was looking for a training partner for her, and I saw Sage over there laying down on the mat. And I said... you get around with her. And she looked down at Sage. This woman's in her twenties. She said, am I fixing to get beat by a little kid? And I said, yep, it's a possibility.
So I look over there and she was like, uh, A rabid wolverine stuck to that woman's back, and she could not get her off of her. At first, the woman was like, oh, it's funny, ha-ha. But then Sage put that crossface on her, and I saw them eyes get big, and she was literally trying to throw Sage off of her physically. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it.
And then I looked over there, and she had a pillow choke on her, which was a north-south choke, and made her tap with a north-south choke. So, I mean, I didn't say nothing because, you know, in jiu-jitsu, you don't tap and tail. You know what I'm saying? That's just rude. It's rude, Mark.
No, you don't go home and you don't get on the phone, hey, I tapped someone, so, you know, yeah, I may have turned them into a punk, whatever. Yeah. You know, you don't do that, but with just my 10 year old daughter, you know, so I was super proud. So I just kind of walked off and I looked around and, and then somebody else came in. Did you see what your daughter did? I sure did.
So that just goes to show you the power that's in that. It's like, it's a superpower. You know, there's a woman over there and turn you into a pretzel. She's 130 pounds soaking wet.
I like eating.
Well, I will say this. Rucker is the most agile fat man I've ever seen. I mean, he has explosive movements. I mean, you see how big his belly is.
Did he do one?
Yeah. But still.
I was watching him the other day, and he was... I'm talking about he's athletic. He really is.
You would be shocked watching him on the mat. Now, he goes way too hard. He's a tap hunter. He's looking for taps. But his athleticism is shocking.
Well, his foot was hurting yesterday, and I said, what's wrong with your foot? He said, oh, it was an old injury from jail. I kicked a Mexican in the head. I said, you're a Mexican. He said, yeah, you know.
Well, look, a good friend of mine who I trained with, he's also a fireman, paramedic. That dude works his tail off. And he's got four kids. And he's talking to me about that same thing. And what he's doing now is this is what he's decided. It might not be the best path for you, but... he he's decided to choose a different profession.
In other words, use those credentials and he's going to be a nurse. And, uh, so that might be an option you can look into, but he did about eight or nine years of what you're doing. And it was more than he could bear.
which is time he has to travel a lot like he wants to make extra money he'll go like to arkansas and you know yeah but it's it's a tough deal those guys i mean they don't they don't pay them a lot and they work a long a lot of hours but i think just the fact that you're saying this proves one thing like you're doing your best if you weren't terrified of having a second daughter
You're still young. You got time. They're three.
Y'all going to take care of that turtle problem down there?
Start with eggs and watermelons. Uncle Johnny got a picture of a beaver under his corn feeder.
Yeah. You just move on. Okay, I'm curious. You don't go down that road.
I smoked a pork belly for supper. There we go. Was it excellent? It was one of the finest. Was it excellent? The finest thing I've ever cooked. They smoked pork belly. You ever done one of those? Yeah, just a big old block of bacon. Golly. Man. That's good. Last I cooked it, it was about 195. Had a nice bar cone. I put some of that Japanese barbecue sauce on top of it.
Last night.
Man, it was good. What did you have? You're going to drink a lot of water, you eat a pork belly. Yeah.
We're about to microwave. Don't fall back.
What does Phil call him? A slum gullion. A slum goulash man. Goulash man. Well, let me tell you something about my woman. Of course, growing up around Phil, I always heard that if a woman cooks something bad, you better tell them. That's what I had to do. Or they'll keep serving you bad, too. If you don't, they're going to cook it again. They expect you to eat it. Well, guess what?
That didn't work with my wife. She cooked a roast and overcooked it.
I didn't go overboard and talk about how terrible it was and do like Phil, throw it out to the dogs. You know, I didn't, I didn't pull that move. All I said was this, the flavor is good, but it's a little dry.
You know how, uh, when I got my next meal from her still waiting a year later, uh, Over a year.
Well, she made it known that not only can she not take criticism, but she wasn't... She ain't playing that game.
Yep.
You ain't making what Allison made last night better.
I was going to say, you got to watch sausage. That's right, because one of my favorite things used to be was in little pigs in a blanket with the little smokies in there, you know, with the little sausages. Well, I went, I was at house church one time. This was years ago. We were at Godwin's house. And I saw them little pigs in the blanket. And I said, let me try one of them.
I picked that thing up, took a bite out of it. And I said, well, something ain't right. And I looked in there and it was a Vianney sausage. Oh no. Inside of the pig, of the, of the, of the roll there.
So that just, that just goes to show you put the wrong sausage in something.
You'll kill it.
Now, there's a place and time for providing sausage, but that ain't it.
Huh? French fry seasoning? Uh-uh. You got French fry seasoning?
And they were awake?
Then why would you do that? Get fired up. Get a rush or something.
Oh, shoot.
Huh? Yeah. An emotional support rabbit?
She's a big star. You want me to play it again?
Where'd you catch them fish?
Where'd you catch them fish? In the water.
He got you good.
Praise the Lord. Praise God for that.
Oh, yeah.
Anyway, we're trying to start an episode of the Duck Call Room right now. Yes. Goblin's late, but he asked me if I had a cooler.
Oh, my God. Say what? You can't. Huh? How do you even put them in the same category? Somebody named Casey Musgraves came in third.
Posty. I thought he was a rapper. Uncle Si's biggest fan, Posty.
Goblin's going to wash his hands. Well, welcome back to the duck call room. No, he ain't going to wash. Hey, you can't.
I said no.
what is up guys welcome back to the duck call room look i know this is different it's just me right um but we wanted to drop in before this episode starts and let you guys kind of know an update on our schedule so the episode you're going to see tonight uh we actually recorded before phil's passing so i really just wanted to jump on here and let you guys know like this isn't
My truck's still over there in the middle of a cornfield. It's fine. It's all good.
I don't know, man. I'll tell you what's better. We were hauling my trailer, my boat back home because Nolan come and rescued me. And so he's like, well, we'll just take your boat home. Take it on home. I was like, yeah, okay, that's cool. And part of my fender on my trailer ripped off. So it was a pretty expensive day of fishing so far.
Bust out another thousand. You never get it back. B-O-A-T. Bust out another thousand. Yep. That's what boat is. But. Yeah, it's fine, man. I caught some fish. Got out of work. Hey, look, I got to go fishing on a random day during the middle of the week. I got paid and there's people that
somewhere probably that ain't gonna eat tonight i'm okay is it frustrating golly is it fresh because i look at jared and i said i don't care that you dropped my keys i've done this before i have my keys and my wallet everything in a sweatshirt went out the river that's fine stuff happened i just said why did you have my keys that was my question why do you have my he back did he take your truck back to the parking lot we're in a cornfield
We're in a 100-acre reservoir. We're the only humans around there.
He did. That's where he got them. I said, you know, when we come here, I leave them. On the console, so if my truck's in the way for a farmer, because I'm his full-blown farmer up in the race, that they can move my truck. Like, if they're bringing discs or prayers.
No, I pulled it out of the ramp. Okay. Just because I don't want my trailer sitting in the water for four hours. I didn't think so. But I just pull up, but it's right by a turn row. So, like, they travel that with tractors doing all their jobs. So, I leave them on the console in plain sight.
Well, they can see. Like, if they come up to my truck, they see my keys, they move my truck out the way, and then everything's fine. Well, he saw them sitting on the console. He's like, boy, I better grab them. And that is where we had a mistake. The mistake was taking my keys out of the truck. Not so much dropping them in the water. Yeah, it didn't even, I don't know how, it never hit the boat.
Like it fell out of his pocket into the water. He must have that lean going. I think he was. I said, and next time, don't worry about getting all the way out of my boat. If you pee on my boat, you pee on my boat. Like it's sea deck. I can spray it off. This isn't carpet. It's not going to be there for forever. Like it just a little pee, man. If you. You're going to dribble, dribble. I don't care.
Like, you know, keep yourself and my stuff inside the boat, please. So yeah, that's what I've been dealing with. So I got a key in process of being overnighted here. So that's fine.
Was there anything attached to the keys? No, I don't keep nothing on there. I keep an extra set of keys with all of my shop keys and gate keys and farm keys, all that stuff. I just have the fob. I ain't even got an actual key. It's just a fob. The lady at Chevrolet was very nice about it.
Yeah. Well, all my keys, my house keys aren't keys anymore. They're codes. So I don't have any, I don't have any keys at my house.
Bass? Yeah. I caught a lot of bass and I caught a lot of crappie. Oh, okay. Yeah. I found a school of crappie out in... The crappie is where the 16 foot of water key drop happened. Right. So that's.
Yeah. Yeah. So now I just have a bunch of fish to claim for myself, which I kept way more than I ever would for me. So. Yeah, I get to go home and clean fish for a couple of hours when I get done here. So, yeah. You know, it's all good, man. Life is good. It's just a small... A lip on the radar. A small mouthful.
If you're in Shreveport, there's potholes everywhere. Oh, sorry, I can't say that. Oh, Lord. There's a 16-foot pothole, unfortunately, and the lady at Chevrolet, what I called her, she's a... She said, well, can you dive in and get them? I said, ma'am, I don't know that I can get to the bottom and 16 foot without drowning.
I don't know that. Like, I don't think that's a deal. When she heard key fell in the water fishing, she thought like at the boat ramp, like, you know, average person.
Yeah.
duck well what's funny is like all day too fishing i was fishing in like three four foot of water throwing a frog around like up there shallow throwing frog around trees and grass like why couldn't they fall out then i got it i got a chance yeah yeah you could have got it you ain't got no chance yeah it's magnetic
It's just a plastic fob. I don't know. I mean, I don't think there's nothing metal in there to get it.
Yeah, there's a little ring, but I mean, I don't think that's enough. Them rings are made out of like recycled beer cans or something. I don't know that there's anything magnetic. I mean, you can bend them with your hand now. Key rings ain't what they used to be. They're not split rings on a crankbait. Now, you can't break them up with a pair of pliers. You'd probably get him, but...
No, I mean, they're gone. I mean, who cares? They're at the bottom of the pond at this point. It's an electronic key fob. I think that ship has sailed even if I got it. I don't imagine they're water resistant. I don't imagine they're waterproof.
With your feet. I have. Well, God wouldn't have a thing. We all have on that. I found my phone this past season that I dropped in the water with my feet.
It was Burley.
I didn't do that. I just reached down there and got my arm wet.
Yeah. Oh, I fished up plenty of stuff out of the muck duck hunt. Which ain't no big deal. It ain't 16 foot of water.
You got to maintain the toughness at that point.
And it worked. And it worked. Yeah. Yeah, the new ones, they can go for a bath for a little while. I don't know how long, but they can. It took me, it was like an hour one day before I realized mine was gone. I was like, uh-oh. And then I slid back over there to the tree I was by and I found it. But, yeah, it's wild, man. But, yeah, I figure that key fob is done.
There's some fish down there looking at it right now saying, what in the world is this? Probably ate it. Maybe. Hopefully. That'd be cool. That'd be a cool story. Catch him and clean him one day. There you go.
I'd really like to catch the one that found my wallet from last time it's happened to me. He said it had about $400 cash in it. What did Jerry say? Jerry said, do you want to hit me? And I said, no, not really. Why? I said, no, not really. Why? He said, well, I just think I'd feel better if you did.
You know he feels terrible. Oh, he's like a whoop dog.
Well, he knew as well as I did. There's a pretty strong chance we're spending the night here, man. I got to find somebody that knows where this place is.
Yeah, I don't need a bunch of pilgrims knowing where this fishing hole is. I ain't trying to. You got old Nolan to come get you? Uh-huh. Did he haul your boat in his electric car? No, he had his tundra with him because he had his boat over there at the shop. So he dropped his and left his and grabbed mine. So I said, there you go. That's tight. But Nolan needed something from me too.
So he needed my transducer off my boat. I said, hey, transducer's here, man. Just take it off. I don't care.
What did he have on? Just baseball cap this time. I see him. He's wearing that. That funny hat? Funny hat. Yeah. Them Jace hats. Jace, he went through a kick where he wore them kind of hats. What was that called? Fedoras. Yeah.
Yeah.
I know I can.
Yeah. Fishing's been good, man.
Yeah. Hey, maybe you just need to take your truck keys and throw them in. Maybe they'll start biting. I'm good. Just take him and say, I don't need them. Just take Jared fishing with you, apparently. That's all you got to do. What else did he say? He said, I swear I wake up every day and try not to do something stupid. He said, but so far, I'm taking an L on that one.
He said, it seems like every... Poor Jared just beating himself up. He tried to pay for everything. I said, look, Jared, your only penance is you're going to be the one that has to drive me back an hour and a half over here. I'm taking three hours of your day. That's your penance for when this happened. You got to drive me back to my truck. Hunter is just giggling.
Hunter, you wake up and try not to do something stupid every day?
I think it just has to go with the territory of being a male under 40.
defensive that way when it happens i just laugh at it that's a good point it's not a surprise it's not a surprise i expect it especially around here oh i didn't i i gotta be honest i didn't have my keys ending up in the bottom of the pond on my bingo card but this because when the last time i saw them Like, cause I got lined up on the boat ramp, everything. I was like, all right, let me unhook.
I just unhook. I said, just dump me straight back in. No problem. And the last time I saw them, they were sitting in the middle of my console for everybody to see. That was the last place I saw them. Sounds like to me, you need to get your boys some new britches. Yeah. I don't know how you end up with a hole in that pocket. Well, I noticed, you know what I noticed?
I said, are you sure they're not your keys? And he said, no, they're in my other pocket. I said, oh, so your keys went in the good pocket. Mine went in the bad pocket. Oh, man. He said, no, I didn't know I had a hole in this thing. I said, that's not how it seems right now.
Right now it seems like, ah, his will probably hold in there. It ain't no big deal.
Oh, yeah.
He's living his dream, that's for sure.
Just go fishing, knock sides off of them, send them on their way. Eat a sandwich.
I need to talk to Paula about that.
Because she's a sandwich maker. Oh yeah. Paula got a guy. We got everybody on a payroll. Like Paula makes sandwiches. Johanna bake some cookies. Like, Oh, you weren't here when Johanna sent him cookies up here. Johanna made us cook.
The cream pie. Cream pie. She made her some homemade.
Homemade oatmeal cream pie. Uh-huh. Oh, they were excellent. They were good. They were excellent. Sounds good. Yeah. They were good. I would come walking in with a bag last time I was here. I was like, I don't know what's in it, but judging by the grease stain on it, I'm going to like it.
I need that. Whatever that is.
Okay. I wouldn't be angry. I'd like to borrow Goblin's arm monitor. just to see what I did. See if I look like a progressive slot. Somebody'd show up thinking Godwin was in trouble if you wore his. Abort. There'd be a bunch of needles come flying at you. You need some of this, man. You need that insulin, son. Get on with it. Oh, gosh. It's a day, man. Whatever. Hey. God's good, man.
At the end of the day, God's good. This is the truth right there. All I got to do now is keep my kids alive the rest of the day. Get done, which is a task all in and of itself. At that age. I told Jared, I said, you know what's going to happen? One of my kids is going to do the same thing, so I need to practice patience right now.
Like this is a good time for me to realize, I said, when I take you fishing, it is like fishing with my kids. So Jared, Jared grew up bank fishing. He don't, he never spent a lot of time in a boat and you can tell like kind of the way he operates in a boat. That's what they do in Bunky. Yeah. Spring is gone. Oh, spring is gone.

Crank bait.
Yeah.
OG tiny four, baby. I know, Martin. Y'all need to know what he's doing. I fish the same stuff, man. You know why? Because they bite it.
That's why I appreciate it.
Hey, you want to know how bad it was this morning on them crappie? I was just dropping straight down on top of them. Like found them out there in the middle of nothing, just straight down. Oh, yeah. So I catch, I don't know, about a dozen of them. And I looked at Jared. I said, you want to catch one of these? This is after he dropped my key.
No, I just look. I just, I'd say, you want to catch one of them? He said, yeah. So I hand him the rod and he drops it down there. And that sucker caught a bluegill. I've been catching crappie that big.
All you had to do was just get it down there.
No, he's whooping on himself worse than I am right now.
Man, they're moving on and they've forgotten about Phil and the founder and the legacy and all that. No, not that. We had this episode done. You're going to notice in the first little bit, I'm actually not even in the episode because something pretty stinking hilarious happened at my expense. Uh, but stick around here, that part of the episode.
I don't know what to tell you.
Straight down.
One inch.
This is a good one here.
Boy, he's in the Army with it.
I know there's people listening to this thinking they've been both those people, right? Oh, no. Because growing up, I fished with my mamaw and my papa. We scrappy fishermen. Papaw in the front, eyes in the middle, little husky boy in the middle of the boat. And then Mamaw back there in the back. She in the back would strap me and him every time.
They done seen all our stuff.
She had that quail, didn't she? I just, Mamaw, nah, she's using a jig. Just a two-inch tube jig, man, with a crappie nibble on there. Like. And, I mean, she would strap our butts.
And then she'd get back here giggling. Oh, no. She'd just be giggling.
Got him.
They was tired of shell cracking.
I catched me, too.
You know what my mama said? She said, you ain't holding your mouth right. That's what she always told me. You ain't holding your mouth right. And you know, as a kid.
You trying to like.
And the whole time she back here like, get the net, get the net. Drinking them slimy Cokes. We didn't have enough money for two ice chests. The Cokes and the fish.
Nobody bypasses a septic tank and goes straight into the pond.
Yeah, you would think it's okay.

Yeah, lock your keys in there.
Yeah.
They're not in the pond.

318-215-6559, is that right?
Well, there ain't no way it gets better than Talladega Nights.
Okay.
Barbara, oh, Korn on the Cobb, wow.
Still, though. Yeah. Talladega Knights.
That's a good one.
They're from South Carolina.
I mean, what?
Smooth. Keith? Keith Stone.
Smooth.
Keith Stone. Smooth like Keith Stone. Smooth like Keith Stone. And they'd have that panther growl at the end of it.
He didn't have that picture, did he?
That boy's still lost for love, man. What you got, Hunter?
That's a very personal question, sir. Why does he sound like Bill Dance's neighbor? Who's his name, Ken?
Ken, if you were here, you'd be able to see the streaks of gray.
Now, there are a couple of people here that have colored their beard. Hey. Time out. Are you okay? No, I got something in my eye.
Season one of Benelli Presents Duck Commander, if you can find that. Yeah. He made everybody dye their hair.
Yeah, all the ones with white.
Until Cyqua was smoking, he never had to color his.
That's a true story. You go back and look at it, you can tell once I quit smoking. That's good. That old yeller beard. Yeah, had the yeller beard.
He's from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Sorry, I was too slow.
I mean, I see these boys, delivery drivers and stuff, all the time got podcasts.
Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, all the time. I think warehouse workers, stuff like that. That's better than, yeah. Mowing grass. I mean, when I mow grass, I listen to a podcast. That's a good call. So there's all kinds of things you can do listening to a podcast. Anyway. A cartoon character.
Yeah, Foghorn. Foghorn.
I'm going Wile E. Coyote.
Well, that's why. Because if you do, you're a legend. You know? If you beat Wile E. Coyote, you're a legend. I'm going with him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pull him up so I can see him.
To be fair, Big Bird whoopsie.
yeah sometimes the tv will still be on nickelodeon because paw patrol was on or something while while they eat or paw patrol way cooler what kind of but then it'll swap to spongebob and i never watched spongebob anyway but now i'm like now i know why oh it's terrible it's not any good like i don't i don't get it i don't i never got it i don't get it always been against it yeah spongebob people let us can you let us know why oh we're there's there's spongebob people oh i know if it wasn't nickelodeon wouldn't still run it so

Scooby-Doo was good. Yeah, Scooby-Doo was good. But I ain't taking on Velma or nothing.
Oh, boy. Ruh-roh raggy.
Hunter, did you give us an answer?
He can't think of anyone that we would know the character to.
Nah, he's too busy playing with them kids, man.
Bluey's dad ready for anything. He's going to protect them kids. Yeah, don't take on Bluey's dad, man. He's good. He's one of the last good influencers out there, man. He wouldn't win. All right, Johnny D, you want to send us out?
Oh. Love you, Shreveport. Oh, wow. Oh. Ah, zing. I really do love Shreveport. I go there from time to time. You don't love Shreveport. You love Superior.

So without further ado, guys, welcome back to the duck call room.
No, we've been here, sir.
I had myself a day, man. What did you do? It's fun. Well, you can see. It doesn't seem fun. I'm a little red. So I didn't wear sunscreen. But I went fishing. Where'd you go? I ain't say.
Yeah, about 50 miles from here.
No, same area, kind of, but a different place. Different place? Yeah. And how was it? Well, the fishing was good. Yeah, the fishing was great, actually. The day, not so much. Got any big ones? Caught a four-pounder, biggest one I caught. Caught on a frog, though. Did you not know what time we were starting and you just got caught up in the fun?
No, I was very well aware of what time we were starting. This all happened because Willie said they needed some fish for a family dinner. So the man who signs my check tells me go catch fish for a family dinner. Amen, buddy. I mean, like, let's go. There's one small issue, though. God love him. Our cameraman went with me. I was like, well, we better film a fin commander anyway. So Jared's there.
Jared stands up to take a leak off the back of the boat.
Totally normal behavior. Yeah, that happens, right?
And I heard a splash. Mm-mm. well better be kidney stones well hopefully it was him and not equipped i've been with him long enough to know well that ain't from taking the leak right so like i mean nothing nothing fell into the water but something fell into the water and he i just heard him go oh no oh no camera boy i wish it was no it wasn't a camera it was my truck keys Whoa!
Serious business here, boys. In 16 foot of water. Oh. Where were your keys located?
Yeah. Yeah, he had a hole in his pocket. Ain't that cool.
Ain't that tight. Mm-hmm.
Oh, no.
No, my truck's still over.
Double it. There were too many pecan-based desserts around me at all times.
It is sagey, but it's good. I'm not discounting the fact that it's good. It is good. It's not...
But it's sage.
Yeah. I would call it sage forward, but it is good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ate that stuff for like two days.
Yeah.
You go out there and get me a slab of bacon. Huh? Will you go out there and get me a slab of bacon, buddy? What are you talking about? I've been duck hunting all morning. I'm hungry.
I know it. Boy, I could eat a whole one right now.
I've had two packs of peanut butter crackers and my – And the words of John Gobble, my stomach thinks my mouth went on vacation or whatever he said.
Well, it wasn't from the other stuff. It was just straight desserts. But the problem is I ate it for breakfast.
I know. But, man.
It is.
I'm staring it down.
No, we all have seafood Christmas, though.
Mm-hmm. That's a big magnolite.
They don't want yours.
He does. I like it to have flavor. I'm here for it.
lunch dinner that sounds like me and a sweet potato pie but yeah oh before going duck hunting over the break yeah i'd walk by that leftover pecan pie sitting there and i'd just grab a slice cold buddy i got one in town head on out to the duck hole i didn't even open it yet oh i'm coming to your house yeah i'm done i'm on detox i'm i didn't i didn't i didn't even open it yet i ate i ate the potato pie though because every time i'd go and take that knife and
Surprisingly, I don't care if a duck's in it or not. No, no, that's me. Dressing just as good as a chicken.
Yeah, the ducks don't have to be there. The duck is the festive part because it's duck season and that's what we do. Well, that's just for presentation.
It's been a tough year on them rascals. Yeah.
I know.
Yeah, we're just talking. I'm just talking about the process of acquiring said ducks. Oh, yeah. For this season. It's been old-fashioned.
Oh, I bet they're earning it, too, with a river as low as it is.
Shot a shell? Shot a shell. That's a tough one.
What did y'all kill?
Oh. I was so excited. When I say a few woodies, that means something different.
Yeah.
We just out there. Yeah, I don't care. I just stare at them now. I killed me enough of them, but that's whatever. I took my bride this morning, which was fun. Brittany went. So mom kept the boys. So that was a fun, fun morning. First mile of drink of the morning. I put her on an island. I said, kill that thing. I mean, backpedaling. Payao. Payao. Payao. Oh, no. Here he went.
Uh-oh. I got tickled. Poor Brittany. Yeah. She said, don't you make fun of me. I don't get to do this much of you. I said, I ain't making fun of you. I just thought it was funny. I said, look, I wouldn't nobody in this blind going to shoot that first one except for you. So it was fun, though. But the next one come in, she killed him. So it's good. Yeah.
But that first one, I was like, boy, look at that big rascal. What'd you... Nope. He gone. He got a wild story to tell. He got something else he better be thankful for.
Where'd they get it?
There you go. That's cool. That's awesome. That's cool. Got it back. So I got a question for you. Yep. You know, we stay out of politics for the most part. Oh, Lord. But. Hold on. Did you see what our current president did? No. Oh. Did you see that he basically did exactly what he said he wouldn't do?
I have more sugar in a three-day span than I've had in the last six months.
Pardoned his son. Now, I just got to know. Oh. I'm legitimately.
I'm legitimately curious.
Well, no, he ain't there yet. Oh, I know. Yeah, he's on his way there, but he ain't there yet.
No, Mr. Biden, President Biden.
Pardon this. Look, I'm just curious. I don't care. I don't want to go down the political road. Just curious. Si Robertson, your president. My take on that? No, but your president.
And Scott did something.
I was just curious.
I'm with you. That's the way I raise both of my children. I mean, I've never had that power, so I don't. But I like to think the way I am now. Yeah, man, you got to figure it out.
Yeah.
I'm just curious. We're all fathers, right? Yeah. So I just was legitimately curious. And we're all sons. Yeah.
Yeah, you need a Jan in there running things.
You could commute a sentence like after he goes to jail or whatever, but to just pardon it straight off the wrist, I just feel like that's a,
All of you think you got too much power.
Oh, no.
No, I was just curious, man. When I saw that, I was like, as a father and a relatively new father, my kids are two, I was like...
why are you being a hypocrite whatever you know especially when you say you're not gonna do it but yeah the point the the point being is explicitly during all of that i will not do this i will not do this yeah on my way out the door merry christmas pal i mean i guess he doesn't i guess he's off the hook for christmas and nobody can stop him or do anything about it yeah no he can't do nothing about it like
Unless there's something else they haven't charged him with, and then the next guy gets in there and they recharge him, and then he goes trial for something else. Generally speaking, I've noticed when people get away with stuff like that, it generally escalates to what else can I get away with. You generally end up where you're wrong.
Yeah, he tried. Before you get started, the man, one day before y'all are going to eat, said, hey, can I get about six or eight teal? I said, Al, I ain't killed six or eight teal all year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Got to run it one more time.
Yeah. No, you're right. They ain't going to get me this time.
I learned from last time.
The good news is they just quit. So you ain't got to worry about looking into it no more. Who quit? No, I'm just saying. I ain't looking into that laptop no more.
Can't. Nothing matters.
I spilled water all down my face.
Well, that's your own asphalt.
I've heard this one so many times.
We can tell the story.
Coyotes.
I would be glad to give you some. Well, I always did for Phil. Like, you know, because we hunt rice fields or fields a lot early.
That's a whack.
Now, if they're taking down full-grown bulls and eating them, what in the world are they chasing your wormies at? I don't know. They must have thought you was a female coyote.
And I'd always take Phil some teal for his duck and dressing. But I said, Al, this ain't a year for it, buddy. I don't know what to do. So what did he do? I don't know what to use. I guess can tell us.
But his shoes were sticking to the ice.
I'm just trying to think what that lead coyote was thinking.
Okay, there you go.
Well, hey, I'll tell you what I did. My shoes were so hot. They only ran 10 miles, but that's 40 miles from anywhere. Hey, no, no. Hey. You start breaking down the math in this one, it struggles.
When I saw it, I said, you know, I hadn't heard that story in a minute. My goodness gracious. 40 miles from anywhere, ran 10 miles. Ran 10 miles. I just wonder what that first coyote thought. He peeked through them bushes and he said, I got to have it. What is it? There ain't enough to go around here. What is it? Keep looking.
I got a call coming in from Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Hand it to me. Ontario, Canada. You're on the voicemail. What is it? I got the only Canadian I know is here. Uh-oh. Yeah, she ride across the hall over there. Oh, man. That makes me giggle. Wow. What a life. Si, and it's 95% true. The 5% is the math. Oh, my goodness.
You don't say. Si, that's funny. Oh, that's good. Thank you, Micah, for a trip down memory lane. Thank you for that.
Uh-oh. Just looking at it.
Yeah, Phillip look like a tourist.
Yeah, when it comes to tuna fishing, if you ain't ever been, you catch the first one by yourself because you need to experience what that's about. After you've caught one, no, it's team effort because we're all taking them steaks home.
That is a huge fish.
Bluewater? Bluewater. Oh, you're wearing a shirt. Oh, you bought that at the pro shop. Okay. That's right. Okay, you really are being a tourist. Yeah, I did. It was fun. Ah, that's funny, man.
No. Phillip ain't even standing up. He don't scare sick.
but he's big I ain't trying to be mean that's observation yeah y'all laughing like Philip what are you about five five nine Martin is not afraid to make an observation on a human being you heard what he said about the coffee kid hey stop it at least I said it to him yeah I mean you say it to their face you just make observation I'm a biologist man he don't he don't backside them he front sides them you observe and you're like wow and state it out loud there's another John do you got the other one that I sent you
Do you have any guesses as to what it could be? If they emailed us, it can only be one thing, a large black feline.
What's them glasses? That one right there. Is them glasses Costa de la Alicia or what? You get them from your wife?
I like the boots, Phil. Start with the boots. So what's with the other one? Oh, them boots is extra tough. They're all the going rage. Where'd you buy them, Phil?
I was like, well, not me. There you go. See you later. Oh, man. He was probably going to your shop to buy some more crickets to go poach his brother's pond again. He bought a bunch that day. He should be safe. He should be okay. Hunter, do we have voicemail? Is that something we're doing still? Voicemails, 318-
She sounds so normal. Like I'm perplexed at why she's calling us.
I finally got one. I said North Georgia.
Just north of Chattanooga. I know right where Cleveland, Tennessee is. I've shopped at that Target and ate at that Chick-fil-A and all the things there.
Man, I wish, like, hot snack or... Gas station with a deli or just gas station period?
skins yeah potato skin or no pork pork rinds and they have to be the hot ones yeah it used to be fritos and he got off of that now he used to eat chili cheese fritos all the time yep yep yep yeah the uh Yeah, if we're just talking about basic snacks, I always go to that little cold section. And if they have one of those cheese witches, smashing that every time.
Salami and pepper jack cheese, the two pieces of pepper jack cheese with salami in the middle. And then generally some sort of nut, peanuts, cashews, something like that.
That's what I eat.
Yeah. No, I've eaten a mini of O'Snap pickles. O'Snap pickles legit. I've also eaten a mini of gas station boiled eggs. Like the little two packs of boiled eggs. Nope.
That's fine. And I always drink Powerade Zero because generally if I'm on the road, I'm not drinking a whole bunch. I'm trying to stay hydrated.
Hydration is Martin's most important feature. It really bothers me because I know if I get dehydrated, that left big toe is going to cause me a lot of grief. And I ain't trying to
I ain't trying to get that GOG. No. Amen. I try to avoid that like the plague. But I'm going to quit on voicemails. I finally got one right.
So did I. I married once, huh? What was her question? If they'll say Rocky Top, buddy, they're loyal.
Jordan. Jordan. Is that what it says? Jordan. Jordan. Yeah. Jordan. Happy birthday, Jordan, but slow.
There you go. That was like mountain man. That was like mountain man meets.
I had a Shrek or something. I don't really know what that was. That was funny, Si. Kabooyah! All right, well, we got that one knocked out of the way. Back-to-back Tennessees. All right, Hunter's looking. Digging, digging. Just a digging.
Portland, Tennessee. That's where Mountain Man's from. You're saying Portland? Portland, Tennessee.
Hey, well, look, now guilty. But Jace.
Yeah, he is. He's a fat head. Jace got to looking at me like I was a tenderloin now.
Pecan. Pecan. I asked Michael Waddell that one time because he calls them pecans now. Hey, there ain't no can on a pecan. No, but I asked him and he said, well, he said, I called them pecans until I bought this pecan orchard. And I said, Oh, so if you own them, you got to call them pecan. He said, well, I asked old boy that I bought it from.
He said, these things over my life have made me about $10 million and I call them pecans. Michael said, well, I'm going to call them pecans too. So I said, well, You know?
Yeah. It don't matter to me. I like them. Why do people get upset? I don't care what you call them.
Are they pajamas or pajamas? Pajamas. So you're jomming in your jommies? Or are you jamming in your jammies?
I jam in my jommies.
Regional dialect is good.
Really?
That'd be Bermuda Triangle for here. Yeah, it literally narrowed and I was like, that's uncomfortable. How do you pick? Oh, do they say it and you pick the right one or something? It's like phonetics or something. You read it out.
Ouachita.
I think that's it, boys.
I didn't have one that hit me in the middle of all that. Anything about pecans?
So Al's sermon significantly greater than Al's dressing.
But not a dressing. You can sleep in there by 10.
His name is what? That ought to tell you them things don't exist. What? They naming them names that ain't really names. That's the name of the black cat in Jungle Book, man. That's fine.
Hey, in fairness, in fairness.
When's the last time a Robertson not named Phil or Cy ate a duck? Ate a wild duck.
Yeah, not you and not your brother. I'm discounting y'all.
But you can't expect Al to know really how to cook duck if you don't eat it.
Now, he grew up eating them, and I'm sure he hates them.
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. Time out. Time out. Hey, Alex. Alex. Unbiased opinion.
But you ever heard them other names anywhere else in Jungle Book?
Alex Robertson. So Alex, how was your dad's attempt at your grandfather's dressing?
Oh.
What it needed was a longer cooking time.
It was a little runny. A little runny.
I would prefer my dressing like my steak. I'd rather it a little runny than overcooked. Oh, yeah.
Is overcook. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Medium plus, if you will.
I'm just glad to know Alex is still a Robertson.
They're rough food critics.
Period.
Wobble, wobble.
It'll be good. You cooked it too long. That's obviously how you used to patrol the bars, wasn't it?
Yeah, you needed to wobble when you did it. Yeah, okay.
Okay.
I ain't never met her.
You don't do grandmama stuff.
I think we have a redemption story here.
Yeah.
Step one. Step one. You got to pass the vision.
For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.
They didn't stop at just creating the pillow. They've made the best bed sheets ever, too, man.
And I don't know what to tell you. I mean, the sheets, they look, they feel great, all the things, which means an even better night's sleep for all of us, which is crucial for a man like Cy.

Obviously, it wouldn't for meeting dressing.
Here's what I'll tell you about Al.
I'll tell you. I bet Al... Out of all the Robertson men, though, I bet Al would admit it.
The rest of them would have said, that oven, that dadgum thing. Man, I cannot believe. I put it on 350, that stupid oven.
No, see, we didn't start on time, so it just sat there in the water from the lid. It would have been anything other than just wear it.
Yeah. But you can be there by morning, according to George Strait. That's right.
Step one.
Assess blame. Step two, transfer said blame. That's right. Blame shift. Get everybody. Everybody.
Yeah, Al would though.
Yeah.
Well, that's unfortunate today. I would have, well, no, I'd probably put my money on Willie being the copycat.
Because, you know, dressing is essentially what Willie's good at. Throw a bunch of stuff in a pot. Goulash.
Throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and watch it come together.
Yeah.
You got to have celery.
And I can set it right here and eat the whole thing. I will say once I made that dressing last year. and brought it up here to prove a point. The sage dressing? I mean, I still taste the sage from time to time if I belch just right. Ah, gross. But, you know, it was good. Now, I ain't been worried about a witch. Or no Native American. Voodoo. Yeah. Did Sage protect you from that? I think so.
I don't know. I see them people having hanging over their doors all the time. That's why Si's in such great shape. Oh, yeah. You give him a healthy belt for the next couple of weeks and his house is safe, buddy.
And Atlantically, it is good.
Mm-hmm.
Mark, I mean.
They walk around looking at him and Chad, looking for blood. They probably went 300 yards, circled around everywhere, and come back. And when we're walking back to the four-wheeler, it's uphill. And Chad said, hey, there's a bunch of deer hair right here, a big pile of it. And I said, well, now we know where the yearling was standing. That stupid deer was standing in front of him. He was uphill.
I had the crosshairs on him and killed that stupid yearling.
And I got some deer meat out of it. Which Christine said, hey, you go deer hunting all the time and I never get any deer meat. I said, well, darling, all you had to say was, hey, bring home some deer meat. I said, Stone will kill me if we want to do it. He'll shoot a doe and give me the backstrap. Just tell me you want to do it.
Toothpick had him trained to take bullets for him. Well, no, no. That's what I'm talking about. When the deer gods are putting yearlings in front of this big rascal. I mean, he's got divine protection, boys. That's great. But, hey, he messed up. But, like I said, I would love to have the camera on him because he said, hey, settle down. Settle down. His pick is coming out from the other side.
So, look, I throw my binoculars up looking through the trees, and all I see is a head of a deer coming, and I look at them big antlers, and I said, oh, yeah, that's him. And he said, calm down, calm down. He said, let me get the rifle ready for you. So he put the rifle in the holder, screws it down, okay, looks through the scope, gets it, you know. He said, okay, I got it set up for you.
So look, I put my eye to the scope, and I said, is it the buck in the back? And he said, no, no, no, no. He ain't come into the picture yet. He's going to walk into where the scope is. So I sit there and wait, and here he comes. And he stops. Y'all and I said, you ready? He said, yeah. Pow.
Yeah, take it out. Bam. Well, look.
Y'all, because I asked him, the deer runs off. We didn't even see him fall. Okay.
No, I'm serious, because the scope, as soon as I pulled the trigger, the scope went up.
Okay, so I asked Stone.
No, no, no, because I asked Stone, I said, hey, did you hear it hit him? I said, I didn't hear the whop. I said, did I miss him again?
Well, no, no, but anyway, so hey. Yo, we sit there and talk. He texted about 14 people and said, well, we got a bullet in, yo. What do you think? And all of them were saying, well, you got shot in the eye, blah, blah, blah, blah, this and that. And he asked me, he said, where was you aiming? I said, high shoulder. He said, oh, no, you shouldn't have done that.
I had it set for just, yo, center mass. Well, I said high shoulder. But the bullet, if you cut the deer in half, the bullet would hit right at half, half mark.
It was. I told him, I said, oh, it's about six inches back too far. Well, add another four inches to that. It was about 10 inches back too far. But it still did, because when we watched it on the camera, I said, Stone, I said, that ain't a bad hit. I said, because it wrinkled his skin. Well, that was my way of expressing where I thought it hit. Well, the more I thought about it, I said, oh, no.
Now I know why I used the term it, wrinkly skin. When that bullet hit that deer, it collapsed his lungs, and it was, I'm looking at a 3D picture. His lungs are this wide, and then it went pow, and it's this wide. Okay. And look, when we got back to the lair and put it on the big screen on the computer, y'all, when it hit him, hey, he immediately hit the ground. Oh, he was hurt.
And then it jumped up and ran off. And I said, oh, that deer's hit good. If you shot me in the stomach, I'd hit the ground, too. All the wannabes are still saying, no, you gut shot him, you blah, blah, blah.
He was shot too far back.
235, 235 yards. Let me tell you something.
Well, no, no, because that's what he came in.
That's the reason he text everybody he text. Yeah. And he said, hey, we're thinking we should just not mess with him. Don't go up there.
Get out.
Well, if I went to sleep, I'm telling you, it wasn't for short periods.
And drag.
Look at the size of that.
Well, I was out of breath, too.
I laid there and just said, you know, I look at my watch and say, good grief, it's only 2.30.
Here's the thing about him, okay? We figured we, okay, me and him and sometimes his daughter, okay, and sometimes other people would sit with us. We sit in the stand at least 40 times hunting that deer. Me and that deer have had some moments.
He had secret service. A bit Hank Carey, the famous wrestler. So, hey, the deer lived. Look, the deer lived. He's probably seven and a half is what we think. We'll know once we get the mount back because the guy that mounts him will tell us how old he was. But me and the deers, we bonded over that 40 cents.
Because I said, wait a minute. Because Stonewood was in the stand. We done got a picture in the camera of him at this stand. So the weather's right. The wind's right. We're in that stand. We're after him. And guess what? Stone throws his binoculars up, and he's looking over at the other stand. He said, yep, that's just what I thought. Well, when he said that, I said, oh, don't tell me that.
And he said, yeah, it's him. He's 50 yards in front of the other stand.
Yeah, from where we were.
It's like he's a mind reader. And then Stone said, well, hey, look, let's just face it. This pig is smarter than both of you and me combined. Okay? That's the bottom line.
When I petted him, when I was on my knees sitting behind him, it was like petting this wood. It wasn't no gill. Okay. It wasn't a heavyset, dear.
Yeah, he was. I watched him drag him out.
On the first jerk. And hopefully it lands.
Yeah, I would bet. I would bet on him instead of the one of them. He's from Bashford. Cinderblocks? He's from Bashford. Yeah, I would bet on Bonebreaker instead of Cinderblocks.
Okay.
I tried that. Nope. Can't do it. Everything's got to be just right for me to really sleep. Oh, what? Hey, I'll tell you what you do. Ask Christine, hey, what happens when I come back off of a trip?
His arms, probably.
Well, I was going to say, that was another thing.
There's a crowd there.
Well, Jan and his two girls and, you know, we got to listen to sister telling Jace, Jace, you need to quit killing these little bitty deer.
Stop shooting the yearlings.
It was funny.
I run with them, but I'm not one of them.
Worried about him.
Two nights this week with no sleep? Yeah.
I will get in that bed and I won't get out till like 11 o'clock the next day. That's like hibernation. That's it. I'm talking about like nine o'clock I'm in bed and I don't get out till like one. Okay. She said, you must be tired. You stayed in bed all day. Oh, I slept 24 hours straight one time.
Now, hey, y'all, you've peaked. Here at 76 years old. Yeah, but I told him, I said, if we hadn't recovered him, I would have probably said, okay, forget me deer hunting, I'm through with it. I'll do it again. That would have been sad.
Yeah.
So now what we're going to do is, hey, Willie needs some deer in the freezer. So now we're fixing to go shoot. Time out.
Just making sure. He likes variety.
Okay. Lots of variety. He entertains a lot of people, okay?
Plus, he is the boss.
I mean, you need more. If it's no, tell me, I will have some tomorrow.
See, my next goal, see, this is nobody knows about this. Breaking news. Yeah. I go to Southwest Texas a lot to hunt deer. Well, this year, okay, me, him, and his daughter, Sage, she killed a big, beautiful 22-point or 22-inch. 22-point was about to be.
He was a hoss. Well, look. Guess what?
That's it.
I shot twice at deer, not whitetail. I shot twice at two axis deer, bucks. Back in South Texas. And I missed both times. So that was at 385. Yeah. So now we got to get on the range, and we're going to have 300, 400, and 500 on the range. And I'm going to be rocking a little metal plate where I say, Pow!
That's a long shot there.
That's right. Give me the rifle. I feel like BK. Okay. BK's sitting there watching. Hey, all she does is go.
She is.
I did, though, at one time. I wore my badge. Shooting badge was expert.
I'm serious. The only thing that does that is bears. No, I didn't.
No, in the Army. Not in Cub Scouts. I wasn't in the Cub Scouts. I'm just messing with you. Well, I guess you could call them Cub Scouts.
He messed up.
Well, when the duck ain't flying, you don't want to fly in front of me. Okay? Because if you do, I'm going to do my best to kill you. It was one of my favorite moments duck hunting ever. Hey, you've just put your finger on my wound and poured salt in it. And I ain't going to take it.
My wife said she spent like 24 hours coming in there and putting her hand on my chest to make sure I was breathing. Hey, I did not move for 24 hours. There you go. Man hibernates.
Oh, it made the day.
Because they asked about it. They asked the man that owned it. Okay. How many crows did y'all kill? He got to laughing. He said, I think this is the first one.
So, hey, guess what we did before we left the plant? You ate the crow? No, I had to get out and hold the stupid crow up and take pictures with it.
We're getting it mounted. And that was the first thing that Drew asked me. You want this fully mounted or just the head or the wings out or what? Skull mounted crow. Okay.
You do not want to fly by the duck blind when there's no ducks flying.
What he's going to do is he'll measure them, and he'll be like, I don't know.
You smoked. I looked over. Then Drew was real nice. The dog's name, I don't know what it, back.
Boone, back. Made the dog go get him? Yeah. He didn't want to. No, he didn't want to. The dog picked it up, looked at it first, picked it up, come walking back, had a funny expression on her face. And I really don't, I don't understand.
See, that's what hunting's about.
Well, no, no. Murder. It's having a good fellowship, okay? Oh, yeah. And having some fun, and you hear the most important part of all of it. Laughter.
That one right there. The big one behind you. I had tears in my eyes when I walked up on that deer right there. And I told the owner. I told him he was out of his mind when he told me you could shoot him. And I said, Eddie, have you lost your mind? I said, that deer is worth a lot of money. You sell him to somebody to shoot him. Don't give him to me.
Yeah, and I said, he's mighty near too pretty to shoot.
No, no, that's the crazy part. Stone was ripping. No, no, that's the crazy part of it.
Because when we left, Drew had the crow in his hand.
He made it back to the camp. So I'm pretty sure I'm going to see that crow again. Oh, praise the Lord. And it's going to have a plaque on the bottom of it.
That's all he needed to hear.
I didn't hear that. All I did was I seen him and I said, hey, bad move, dude.
Wrong place, wrong time. And it was a good shot because it was about 70.
Jace complimented you? Oh, yeah. He said, hey, that was a good shot.
And I just kind of thought to myself, I said, well, hey, I've been doing it all my life, son. You just never have.
I just did it because I wanted to. And it fit the moment.
It livened the place up.
I heard that all night long. I'm telling you. And look, we had watched, before we went to bed, we had watched bears, somebody shooting bears up north somewhere, and some of them was fighting them, and they was yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba. Well, that's what he done all night long.
I don't make New Year's resolutions. Why not? Because you don't ever keep them. Yeah. Why should you fool yourself? If you're not going to keep it, don't even bother making it.
Yeah.
Well, look, that's... That could be your New Year's resolution. Well, no, that ain't a resolution. That's, hey, let's get to work. Okay. The work will pay off. I think that's my definition of New Year's resolution. Yo, just think of the fun that me and him have fixed the house going to the range. Because look, trust me when I say, okay, there's going to be three, four, five.
Okay, when we're at the range doing it, it's made out of metal. So when you say pow, you have no doubt you either missed it or you hit it because, hey, it's going to ring the bell. to use the Navy SEALs deal. If you want to quit, you got to ring the bell. That's true. Okay?
No, I ain't got a resolution.
I ain't going to have a resolution. No. No.
Hey, what do I need for Christmas? Nothing.
Hey, I'm glad you're around for me to take care of. Yeah, you was down.
Oh, good.
I'm like. That's like toothpick.
At least I wasn't at the bottom of a lake.
I told both of you. I told both of you. I appreciate it. I appreciate everybody that was there.
And it was awesome.
At least 100 acres of timber. Sawing logs. Sawing logs.
I only got one right.
Here's the deal.
Superpower, what would your name be?
All right, what's your name going to be?
Wait a minute, wait a minute. What do you mean too big?
He ain't too big to fly. Like an ostrich. Just he'll be a jumbo jet.
Hey.
You're not going to believe this one I take.
But first, what are you?
Q-beam. There you go. I like it. Night vision.
Q-beam, baby.
There you go. I wanted to fly.
Yeah, and my name would be Wood Duck. Wood Duck. Yeah.
You could fly. It just...
Think about it. Where would I fly if I could fly?
Yeah, we've talked about it.
Well, hey.
Hey, we talked about it, and it has to do with PBS. Oh, boy.
I would have liked to have seen that. Oh, we're all there. Fish swimming on sand.
Sand? That's why. Hey, it was on television.
It's got rings around it. Saturn? Yep. I would fly to Saturn and go through the clouds and say, okay, now, what's under these clouds? Because I'll fix a light on this baby and find out. He's about to light on Saturn.
You wouldn't go there?
That's another thing. If I could fly, I'll be eternal. That goes with flying.
No, I ain't.
That's right. It holds ice forever. It's always full of ice, lemon crystals, and tea.
Well, I know this. When PR would go out, would go somewhere hunting, I got banned from the rooms.
Saturn is a solid gold. No, it's not. Hey, I mean, I'm talking about 100% pure gold.
what do you mean it ain't pure gold it's just not you don't know that i think i do that's the reason i want to go and light on it okay because it may be pure gold hey will you swing by the moon and tell me if it's made of cheese nobody's been there no because i'm scared of the rats it's on the moon oh okay i don't want to burst your bubble but saturn is a gas planet and it's made out of gases that's not true either hunter
Wait, where are you getting that, Hunter? Is that from Google?
NASA?
Yeah, but that's the last question I'm listening to when it comes to space. Hey, they've been lying to us all these years. Thank you. Okay.
Hey, you get your butt in there and sleep on the couch. You ain't sleeping in the room.
Hey, and who was saying this is the almighty.
Okay, the one that cannot lie. You may think you get away with it here. You won't. You're going to stand before him and, hey, he's got something for you. Yeah.
We're out.
Then Martin was there and told me,
Yeah.
Better go to sleep quick.
I'm serious. I didn't sleep much. If I went to sleep, it was just short periods. I lay there in that bed. And then I said, what is all this light show that I'm seeing? And then I looked and I said, them idiots left the stupid TV on.
Oh, boy. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, God. man it was yeah it was there's a long night last night we landed we landed in denver and there was a whole crew oh i was i was there for this i went in the bathroom and everybody ow i want to At Willie Fielding. They all come in. Whoa, whoa, whoa, man. Oh, man. It was one stranger in a stall. Willie, hey, I've never been to this airport in my life, okay?
That's because it wasn't an airport.
Hey, and Willie turned the lights out.
Hey. I started doing the mind thing against the wall. Which is dangerous since you're at the urinal. Yeah, because I don't know where I'm at. I'm running in the junk, bumping my knee on metal. Oh, then it was, oh, yeah. Willie ought to kill you when I get a hold of you, boy.
Yeah, it is if you're not on the receiving end of it. I guarantee you. It ain't funny if you're on the receiving end. It's still pretty.
Oh, what a life, man. You do make a lot of noise. I admit that. I'm a noise maker.
My wife, she says... She just walks out of her room and I was like, would you quit that? I said, what? She said, you're in here just making all kind of racket. And I said, well, I don't even know it. What are you looking at?
Yeah, this thing is warm because I am burning up.
Oh, I'm so rested. Well, I guess I shouldn't call it that. We had an interesting, adventurous night of sleep.
I readied the pantry.
You see, I got in bed about 8. And I'm trying to go to sleep.
Why?
Once you get to that age. You've got to have your beauty rest.
And actually, okay, we actually accomplished it. We did it. What is it? And it's a deer, and his name was Toothpick. Is Toothpick dead? Was. Toothpick went to heaven.
He left this old wicked earth, and hey, he went to the good place. You got it?
I wish I'd have had the camera work on him preparing me to shoot this deer. It was hilarious. He was trying to talk to me calmly, okay, not to get me excited. And it was hilarious.
He gets excited.
Got their own chef that cooks great food.
Hey, look, I've been chasing this rascal for, you know, two years. Is this him? I don't know if it's him or not.
Yeah, it is. How many deer you got to say, I ain't sure.
Talking about groups, it's so lovely to be with a group of people and you do something. Look at that. Because when I shot him, the deer runs off. Okay, so he sends pictures to about three people saying, well, what do you think? And all of them say, well, he's gut shot.
All the amenities. I think is the name of it.
No, he wasn't. He was a little far back, but it wasn't gut shot.
I think this is one of those.
This pig may be one of Santa's reindeers. Because the deer gods have been protecting this deer.
Yeah.
He's standing broadside to me, and he's got his head. He's eating the chum in the chum pile.
He mumbled something about camera, I think. Oh, boy.
And I said, well, we both high fives. I got a bullet in that sucker. I finally have done it. I've got it. So we high-five him. We sit there and talk about, well, he's been a worthy adversary. We've hunted him for two years now, and we finally are going to get to put our hand on them big antlers of that rascal. Well, he goes down there about 25 minutes later.
Well, how sweet are you? To do that. Well, yeah. Hey, you treat your woman like the queen she is. I guarantee you, son. You better do it.
He said, I'm going to go check for blood. So I watch him. He's got his phone light on. And he's walking around, makes a circle in the woods. And then I hear that big 308. Pow! And then pow! And I look. And it looked like he's picked up a rabbit and threw it back at the four-wheeler. And I'm saying, wait a minute. And he comes up. I thought he was pulling my leg.
He comes up and he said, hey, you big dummy, you shot a little old yearling. And I said, don't, don't. I said, come on, dude, don't do that. And he said, I'm serious. Well, look, it was dark by that time, so we can't see nothing. So we got to wait and go back the next day. And we go down there and look for blood. Can't find any blood. Make a big circle. They do.
And then they can't argue with you.
Are they yippy dogs? Yeah, what kind of dogs are they? Are they like Jace's dogs?
It's the same thing Sadie got.
Three, two, one, go. There's a lot of crazy stuff. Like when the British ruled India, they would come over to India to play golf and they would hire what was called a jam boy for the day. which was basically an Indian slave that they would take onto the course, but they would cover him in jam so that they would not get any bugs attracted to them.
The bugs would all go to the guy covered in the jam. And his like payment was that he got to take the jam home to his family that he was covered in all day. And the only reason I found out about this at my school, everyone named their houses. And one house decided to name their house Jam Boys because they were like, oh, yeah, like we jam. Like they had no idea about this connotation.
24 hours later, there's like an article in the school newspaper about it being like, it was like this whole thing. And then all my friends started calling me Jam Boy.

Or if you haven't watched any of them, you can stream all of them. Okay? See y'all. Bye, y'all. Because I think that's a good segue to something I want to ask you. Because I seen somebody tweet the other day.
But you ain't dropped the funny.
They said, to meet a beautiful woman that's funny is very rare.
Is it rare? There's six men.
And y'all been giggling.
Is it rare to meet a beautiful woman who's funny?
It is. Really? I met one. I don't think so.
I'm not going to be, I'm not lying.
My friend, all my friends are beautiful and they're funny.
No, my friend, like, okay, one of my closest friends is B-Lynn, and she's like a contact. B-Lynn is funny, yeah. B-Lynn is beautiful.
Like, she knows she funny. That's why she do what she do. I know, but I'm just saying, like... But I come... Not saying, like, B-Lyn is a rare, but I'm saying, like... So... It's a lot of women who are beautiful that are funny.
Okay, because you're trying to transition.
You wasn't far off. That's why I'm not mad.
Women are funny. I'm definitely one of them.
And you decided to do that on Poor Minds. We're honored.
But I ain't met 30 funny niggas. I swear, Shay is so funny.
Now, that's crazy. I really don't date hood dudes. I actually despise them.
So what is it, Marco Summers?
I usually date, like... well-put-together men that have a real job or, like, a real career. I've never dated hood dudes. Never. He don't date hoods.
All right, y'all, give it up for Marco Summers! Yes! And I wasn't kidding. I feel like that's such a nice... But you have a nice last name.
I think a lot of people, too, they're funny is mimicking what other people do. Or making fun of people all the time. I don't think that's funny either.
Oh. You didn't say that right.
They probably thought that was funny.
I think a lot of times, like, if they see somebody like you, a man who is being funny, making a living off of being funny, a lot of times they be trying to be comedian in the comments. They want to make people laugh by saying something. So they just be wanting their moment. Have you ever clicked on somebody's page?
Like, a lot of the time, if you think about it, somebody leave a comment like that, you'll click on their page.
I feel like my last name is... My last name is actually Lexi.
But to put it out to the world, it's like... Yeah, I think a lot of times, it be a lot of women in our comments that be talking crazy about us, but they be wanting to get picked by the niggas that we be curving.
So it's like, we're not the same. You were literally... grovel at your feet to date men that I just am not interested in so I can see why you're leaving these comments I agree you know so it's just it be levels for me like
I'll tell you off camera.
What's your name? First of all, give us your name. What do you do? You got some long lashes. You look like them some 747 midis.
He said, don't try to downplay me, nigga. Okay, what's your name?
Because I don't want to give my whole government name.
Period. Got that shit on. Oh, that's nice.
No, I have great credits. Everything good.
If I'm around and it's like my man is in the industry and he brings me around like people that are his peers.
Right, but I'm sitting in the back. I'm cooling. I'm cooling.
No, I'm cooling because this is not my moment. I'm not trying to be seen. He's mingling with his peers. They're doing what they're doing. Yeah, I'm sorry. I have to agree with him. I'm not going to lie because that just comes off. It comes off a little thirsty. Like, you're not a fan. Like, you with me. Right. We going to be around Marco plenty of times.
Because I don't want people to... I have family. And they Google me. They're going to find things about me and my family.
Like, this is just not, nah, we can't do that. We can't do that. What's the setting?
I wouldn't care about that. As a man, it's a woman. Like, it's different for men and women.
Now, it's different if he like, oh, she's so fucking fine. I got to get a picture with her. It's like, okay, nigga, calm down.
Like, if you're doing all that, then it's kind of weird. Don't be thirsty.
If it would have been a show, like, oh, hey, we going to see... She was like, oh, I love Funny Marco. I didn't know that was your homeboy.
Now, I'm not going to lie. Like, if I was, like, say me and you were on a date. And we go see, like, Kevin Hart. And you're like, oh, hey, I'm taking you to Kevin Hart. I'm like, oh, my God, I love Kevin Hart. And we get there. I'm like, oh, can you ask him if I can take a picture? Because I'm a really big fan. Like, I would say something to you first.
I just don't like my business out there.
I'm not going to be like, oh, my God, let me go. I'm not going to be like, I'm going to ask you, like, can you facilitate this?
Because then you could have been like... I don't know. Or not tonight. He chilling right now.
Let me ask you this, though, because I've seen this happen before as a woman. Be honest. Have you ever been in a situation, because you're in the industry, have you ever brought your girl around and, like, the big fish, the big dog took your girl? Because that's what be happening. So is that why you kind of felt some type of way?
I don't give a damn. They gonna do that anyway.
They gonna do that anyway.
Right, right, right. But you've been in a situation where you brought somebody around that you may have been, like, a little interested in and she kind of wandered off. Mm-hmm.
Because, I mean, it does happen.
I mean, yeah, it does save you, but it do still kind of be fucked up.
See, now, what you trying to say? Everybody was having sex. Everybody was not having porn.
You strict. You is a little strict. At least I asked.
That's because they don't be around a lot of stuff like that.
I believe you. Did y'all have a conversation after that, you and the girl?
Because they're recording you. And it's not getting paid for. You get paid for porn.
I know, that's right. Mr. Steal Your Girl. Oh,
But... What's up, y'all? It's your girl, Lex P. And it's your girl, Dre Nicole. And you are tuned in to a brand new episode of Poor Minds. Where a drunk mind speaks sober thoughts. We got a guest today. We got a guest today. Now... Y'all know this guest. We have had him on the past, and y'all know we don't repeat guests. So you know if we repeat a guest, it's one of our faves. We love Marco.
I respect somebody. But why are you calling me after 10?
My mother was making sweet, sweet love to her husband.
And I think also when you start getting grown, it's different.
I'm trying to go right now. You should text me, hey, what you doing? Can I FaceTime you real quick?
Now, my man can FaceTime me any day, any time. I don't care what hour. Drea can FaceTime me at any time.
And I'm going to call three times if she don't answer.
You called me once today.
You answered. No, I didn't. I had to call you back. You did call me back. But, like, if it was an emergency, I would have called three times. Oh, yeah, that's true.
So you gonna FaceTime, a girl you just met, you gonna randomly FaceTime?
And how you build that, you let them know, hey, it's common courtesy. Hey, you busy right now?
So just text. Just shoot a text.
I don't mind you even asking. It's not a problem. You want your nails done? It's not about that.
A camera and a paycheck. She wasn't doing it for a paycheck. She was doing it out of love.
Honestly, and I'm going to be honest with y'all, everything comes down to how you're making that woman feel.
To be honest. Because, like, I agree. I do prefer when I just meet a man that he asks if I'm busy and he can call. But honestly, if we had a great first date and you showed me a good time, baby, I'm finna stumble over that ottoman and break my back to run to my room and get that phone off that charger to answer that FaceTime. I hate to miss a call from a dude that I like.
No, let's keep it 100. Ty, let me ask you this. As a woman, if a man FaceTimed you randomly that you like and you don't answer, you call him back as soon as you get a second, right? Yeah. Right. So if he has to call you back and you still don't answer, it's somebody you don't really worry about. So I can see both sides of it. It's two sides of it. Like I said, if I like you...
You can, you know, I don't mind. I'm like, oh, he called me when he first spoke up. Like, that's cute or whatever like that. You know what I'm saying? But I also think it's cute if you're like, hey, you busy? Can I FaceTime you real quick? You know what I'm saying? Like, I had somebody text me the other day like, oh, can I FaceTime you? I was like, oh, that was nice.
I think it's all about communication. If we really want to talk, we're going to talk. We're going to find the time to talk to each other. Like I said, I hate to miss a call.
Ooh. Ooh. I mean, we got a little one, too.
Yeah, kind of. Kind of.
How's your dating life? What you doing?
You just had a baby. Thank you, Martin. Martin.
Will Smith don't do that either.
He never come in on the show. He does, though. He posts his baby mamas together. Jada and the first one, they always be together.
That's deep in the archives. So, Buddy Marco has a freestyle, too, and he said your baby daddy must be vegan.
Your baby daddy must be vegan because he don't got no cheese.
Give it to me how you did it.
I feel like this is a great setting.
He said, your baby daddy, you're vegan. Oh, shit, he ain't got no cheese.
But you need to prove her wrong.
This is not the internet.
Cyber bully is when you're away from somebody.
I'm just trying to create a safe space. I thought that we was vibing.
I don't think it's wrong.
I think that's the beauty about when you have multiple baby mamas, they have to get along.
Because you do have multiple.
You have... She has said a lot.
I'm sorry. Your baby mothers...
I think that it sets a tone for them to appreciate each other and the relationship that they need to have for their children to see each other. Because sometimes you're going to be busy and on the road. So they have to have a relationship with each other to make sure the kids see each other. So I don't see it as a problem. Now...
If you were dating one of them or in a relationship, I do think that... It would be different. It would be different.
It would be different. Like, okay, the one that you're in a relationship, she does need her own post because she's doing more because she's in a relationship with you. She's your girlfriend, so she's doing girlfriend duties and baby mama duties.
But, you know, you're not with neither one of your baby mamas.
So... All right, Ty. I was saying so he could put them on the same post.
Marco Summers, you know we right here.
What thing about y'all?
I'm sorry. I'm going to work on that. I'm fine. So we're going to play a game real quick. I love you, Marco.

Yeah. God damn it. I'm trying to put her to work for real today. Oh, yeah, because you brought, like, 16 niggas. We got shots.
Yeah, he finished his drink.
You drunk the whole thing?
That's all I'm saying. You don't got to drink no more.
But you should be because you're the one who threw it off.
He said you was like that when I met you. That's crazy. That she opened up that pocketbook and it was already gone?
I think he should. If y'all are comfortable with each other, because I'm going to tell you if you musty. That's cool.
But when do we draw the line?
I mean, I agree. I'm just saying. Sometimes we be out in the club. You done took three shots of Hennessy, and you like, hey, baby, this is my song. Ooh, daddy.
She has four different baby daddies? Yeah, that's normal, right?
Okay, what's the next one, Drea? Okay. Would you rather fight a pit bull once a year or a goose every time you go to the store? A goose? I never see a goose. Actually, I do when I be driving up here. You be seeing a goose.
A pit bull one time a year or a goose every time you go to the store.
I ain't mad at it. Once it's done, it's done.
That goose gonna be there.
Okay, I want to ask this one. Okay. Would you rather go viral for a wild DM you sent or a crazy thing you said on a podcast? Because you've gone viral for both.
You be sending people some crazy things.
So do you think having multiple, like, baby daddies and maybe mamas is hereditary?
Did you ever take Lala on a date?
Why not? Are you blushing?
So why aren't y'all dating?
She gets along with everybody.
She seems like she's a sweet person.
Was Jay Holiday really mad at you?
I think he was too. Why was he mad at you? Because he made a remix to his song with Ari Lennox.
You be eating that in the studio.
I just realized what you said. She said, this is where you got it from. No, I was asking a question. This is journalism. We have a big star on the couch. No, it was not shade.
Okay, I got one. You killed it. Would you rather go on a date with somebody who only talks in Drake lyrics or someone who only speaks in riddles?
Because imagine you just sitting out there, all I got to do is put my mind to this. But that is all you got to do.
And it's far from over. No. I mean. Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.
I would rather the riddles. I would rather the riddles.
So you don't have one you prefer?
Okay. Can we, before we move on to our first topic, I have one more question. I want to talk about the HBO Bleacher Report. Yeah, that's a big deal. Talk about that and what's going on with that and that deal and everything.
I think that would be funny, though. Did you ever try or you just never was?
I mean, because you know what? God has blessed you. You have a discipline because you're where you are now. Not being able to keep a job is not a good characteristic. But the fact that you still made it, because I think a lot of times working those nine to fives teach people discipline. So people like Drea, she's the same way. She couldn't keep a job.
Not that she couldn't keep a job. Am I way?
No. This way? Dyslexic. Dyslexic?
Oh. You didn't say that right.
I mean, same thing. Okay. No, I'm not. But... Why?
But I always say, like, having a job, that's what taught me discipline. That's why I have discipline now when it comes to being an entrepreneur because it's hard to have discipline doing what we do. So, but people who always say, like, they couldn't keep a job or they didn't... Do right with authority. I'm always amazed at seeing like, damn, so y'all just had discipline on your own.
Wait. You love LeBron. LeBron, LeBron.
I think some people naturally have discipline, but I think it's kind of like what we was talking about in the episode with Queen.
And why the fuck you yelling in my face? I did karate when I was a kid. You did? Yes.
But yeah, I don't know. I don't feel like I do well with discipline.
So why do you think you could keep a job? Rent do, bitch. I'm not going to be funny. I never thought... Like, I always knew, like, my personality was different, but I was just like, bitch, go get a job. It was always, you work.
I don't know what I said.
Let's go. So why do you feel like you could keep... Hold on, let me put my voice on.
Because rent do, bitch.
She didn't take my report.
But anyways, but honestly, because rent do, bitch. I never, I grew up in a small town. It never gave.
You know how people be like, can y'all clip this? And they be like, doing something sexy. And they be like, you should do that. Do something sexy so they can clip it. And they'll be like.
You do, though. You're an attractive man.
Go like this. See, this is what she's saying.
Oh, I got it. This is what you need to do, Marco. Right now. Go like this. Pull your curls and go like. Do that.
I'm trying to help you.
Now, see? I thought we was on the same team.
That's what I'm saying. Like, you already be like... That's what I'm saying. All you have to do is pull your curls and lean. And then you got to look at Drea and giggle.
Y'all don't... Well, I have my brother-in-law. Like, me and him have been cool since I was like... But y'all don't have real-life brothers. He's not my... But he's like... I'm sitting out of the same womb. I got a dad brother. A who? A dad brother. Yeah.
But anyways, like I was saying, I was never able... I was always able to keep a job because I grew up in a small town and it never gave, oh, go off to the big city. Then where are you from again? Orange, Texas.
So it never gave, you're going to move off to the big city and be a big old star. It was always giving, bitch, grow up and you're going to work at this Chase Bank or you're going to work at the... Oil, you know, at the oil factory or something.
Like that's what you was going to do. So it never gave that. It always gave, I'm going to have a job. I've been working since I was 14.
No, she did. I wanted to work. My first teacher, I was a dance teacher. We had a little dance studio I could walk to.
Hell yeah. Who's calling my phone? Who's calling this shit? Like ballet and shit?
I used to do ballet. Oh, that's the Drake thing. They said, what if they talking Drake? And I said, but I answered with a Drake. Who's calling my phone? Who's calling this shit?
That's the song of the summer.
It was Kendrick. Oh, you talking about the battle or in general?
Oh, in general. In general. I'm not going to lie. Like... Um, when it comes to an everyday riding in my car, I'll put on Drake. But in this situation, I've always been a Kendrick fan, but Kendrick definitely.
No, you know, they don't do that. What they do is like, they'll come up to us and they'll be like, oh my God, I love y'all show. Y'all need to have funny Marco on.
Like, I just be like, oh, you don't watch the show for real, but you know who I am.
Somebody said this to me before.
Who is bad nut? Who is, yeah.
Let's name some bad nut. Bad baby. Bad nut. You think that's a bad nut?
Are we call people's name like who they were on the show? Like they call Uncle Phil, Uncle Phil.
No, it's not. Jamie Foxx? His real name is not Jamie Foxx. What is it? It's Ulysses. Oh, I knew it was with an E. I knew it was with an E. But that's crazy, right?
You ain't supposed to be like, oh, yeah, I know that brother. Ulysses S. Grant is white. You don't know Ulysses. You don't know who Ulysses is?
I don't know. Okay, Ulysses S. Grant. He was the 18th president. I knew it.
Yeah, that's what I said.
That's Abraham Lincoln. Well, he on.
He not on nothing. He put on for his city. What was his city, though? He was from. What was he from? Click the Wikipedia, damn it. Where the was the nigga from? Where the Ulysses from? Ohio. You from Ohio, ain't you? Oh, my God. Y'all from the same town.
No, he's from Penn City.
Probably. Anybody born before 1900, you can guarantee. Oh, he was a tourist. Shout out to us. Oh, he liked to travel. Huh?
Oh, a tourist? A tourist?
Tourists. T-O-U-R-I-S-T.
It's okay, though. I know. You are a bright young man.
Let's move on. I don't even know what we were talking about. You know how to spell Ulysses?
It is a nice name. That is a... Oh, we were talking about... Would y'all name y'all kids Ulysses?
I would name my kid, like, Bartholomew. Bartholomew.
That sounds like a dog. You know what? That is the name, if I wanted a dog, what his name would be.
Bartholomew. I actually had a dog named Bartholomew.
Rest in peace. Did we what?
No. Why not? Why would we need to?
The women who do that, do that.
Who I want should want me, though. And if you want me, you should want me first.
I'm going to know when you slide in mine.
Preach it to him, because he don't get it.
Okay, so when a woman slides in your DMs... She interests it. She's what?
Okay. And has it ever worked out with a woman that slid in your DMs? Like, have you ever really, really liked a woman that slid in your DMs? Men are chasers.
So why don't you go get her back?
Exactly. Because you didn't want her like that. You was in that many DMs.
That's what I'm saying. She slid in his DM first, but he don't even remember who she was because he didn't want her.
I'm talking about now. Do women slide in your DMs now?
She need rent due. Yeah, she ain't flirting.
I hope you don't think she playing either.
That's not... You're a victim.
Let's talk about your Twitch for a second. Yeah, let's talk about it. You're streaming now. You're a streamer.
Big streamer. No, I'm not a streamer. So you're like up there with like the Kaisernet.
Oh, I didn't. I've never... I'm not being... Okay, so it's a level.
See, I'm not going to lie. My cousin, I have a crackhead cousin too. What's his name? Oh, never mind. Don't talk about it. I'm not going to say her name, but I think she's good enough because she can do hair really good.
So it doesn't transfer.
I think that's why I've never understood.
That was a great comparison.
Have you been to a Beyonce concert? I didn't think so. Are you going to go to Cowboy Carter?
I didn't ask that. What does that mean? For you to say that... They're just different genders. Beyonce is the greatest performer of all time that's live right now.
And Chris Brown is... Man. After her.
When you get nominated for album of the year, it's not best female album of the year. It's album of the year.
My cousin that I was talking about earlier can do a backflip.
So what are we saying here? She can do backflips?
Not that she couldn't keep a job. Am I what?
Crackheads always know a trade. Yeah.
Keep it cute. Marco. Not too much on the family.
No, Chris Brown is an amazing artist. I'll never take that away from him.
But it's Beyonce first.
Alive and walking, the greatest performer of all time right now.
I mean, fire. They are. We need them.
Michael Jackson is not alive.
No, I'm not taking it away. But if we say dead or alive, the greatest performer of all time is Michael Jackson. But if we're saying the greatest performer alive... So where do y'all put Ja Rule?
Yeah, he did that. Well, no, that was... Bobby Brown. That was Bobby Brown.
When he hopped off that helicopter, because you said, and I know you said his part. Oh, yeah. When he hopped off that helicopter, he meant business.
Ja Rule, as a performer, I've never seen Ja Rule perform.
But I've seen 50 Cent perform.
I didn't go to that concert, but I have seen 50 Cent perform, and he did a great job. You know who else was a good performer? Nelly.
Nelly was the first rapper that I seen that had background dancers. And he was getting it.
Hisself. Nelly was dancing. He was dancing. He had a hot eight count.
So which song? Hotting Her. Ooh. For real. I'm not kidding. That's great. He had beautiful dance. Yes, he had a whole A-count.
Offset dances, baby. Offset hits an A-count. They need to do something. He knows the formula. They need to do something. Megan dances. You can't just stand there and do nothing.
Like the boys. Because the boys don't be dancing. The girls dance.
Well, you know, somebody actually complained recently about 50 Cent. He went viral on TikTok because she said he was doing this the whole time.
And it was an error because he popularized them tank tops. Yeah. I think when you're on stage, though, you got to put on a show. You got to hit a little eight count, a little one, too. Unless you're like a singer, like a Celine Dion, she can sit there and sing. Adele can sit there and sing. But as a rapper, you know, you're right. Put on some visuals.
But they not an addict either?
Like, I'm always going to be a little more partial to Lil Wayne, but Soulja Boy had influence. He had everybody. Soulja Boy was the first artist who was an influencer. Yeah. But Lil Wayne is... Literally, when you have debates about the greatest rapper of all time, you either say Lil Wayne or Jay-Z.
Because he had like... Soulja Boy literally started internet rappers. The long t-shirt tree.
Yes. I'm not going to lie, though. When I got my first pair of babes, it was because Soulja Boy.
I think Soulja Boy was very much an influence. Very influential. He influenced everybody. I was there. The kids don't understand. They disrespect Soulja Boy because they wasn't there. Lil Wayne's impact to this day is still heavily felt and not as much as Soulja Boy's just because Lil Wayne's music has aged a little better than Soulja Boy's. So it's a different feel.
But if you was there, the influence. He opened the door for people to become famous off the internet.
Honestly, I'm not going to lie. I think Cardi B opened that door of female rappers. Nicki. No, the reason I say this is because when Nicki came in, Nicki was hanging with the boys. Nicki was rapping so good that Kanye and Jay-Z had to go. But he's there right now. No, that's what I'm saying. So he's talking about, like, influence.
Nicki Minaj has influenced the girls 100%, but nobody can keep up with Nicki. Nobody. Cardi B opened the doors for just fun raps. and club music to where you really, and this is no shade, I love Cardi, but Cardi says that I'm not a lyricist. I'm here to make you twerk and dance. Nicki was, I'm making you twerk and dance, but I'm giving you fucking bars. Nobody could keep up with that.
Cardi opened the doors for nobody. When Nicki came out, it was only Nicki. Literally. It was just Nicki. She was on feature after feature. When Cardi came in, it was like a rush of all these girls that were IG models, OnlyFan girls. They all started making music. So I think Cardi opened the door for all the girls to start making music. But you can still see Nicki's influence.
The girls being animated because of Nicki. Nikki, Nikki is Nikki. Nikki's the greatest female rapper of all time. We all know that. It's no debate. You know what I'm saying? But I think Cardi opened the door for like fun music. It wasn't fun when Nikki was coming in. It was. Itty bitty piggy. No, I'm saying it wasn't fun because y'all could not keep up with her lyrically.
So you're thinking of influence when it comes to like the other rap girls.

Hey, Pudgy. You want him to have a seat?
No, he can sit on this couch. AWOL, do you have the mic for him? Hey, Pudgy, how you doing? Hey, Pudgy. Be careful, be careful.
But if it makes you feel better. They say that people that are addicted to going to the gym are sex addicts. Are you a sex addict? I mean, I like a little sex.
Why'd you tell him to be careful? No, because these couches are not expensive, so I just wanted you to be careful.
Pudgy, you know we locked in. Don't do that. No, no. I was saying be careful sitting down. I didn't want you to sit down too quickly. Pudgy, you look nice. You do look nice.
What did you do? You look different from the last time I saw you. What did you do today? What? In the gym. Like, did you do arms, legs?
You just finished working out? You registered? No, he said he registered.
So why are you out of breath?
It's okay, Pudgy, but you look different from the last time I saw you. You want a shot?
Okay. Oh, let's get Pudgy a shot.
They have that in Georgia?
How long have y'all been friends? How long have y'all been friends?
How did y'all meet? He said, here you go, Mr. Pudgy. That's so sweet, Ty. Mr. Pudgy. Ty has manners.
He said he came from the gym. He like Kiwi. That's a healthy snack. Pudgy, I didn't mean it like that, because you asked for chill.
Pudgy, you said you want it. What he said? You didn't mean it like that. You the auntie. I didn't mean it. Tell him.
Tell him I'm auntie. Pudgy, honestly.
He'll really like it. We have to restore order. Marco.
You want me to make you one?
Okay. That's a good point. I like that. Honestly, it's baby steps. So I'm glad that you even went to register. You know what I'm saying? I'm really proud of you. So how did you get started? Like, you create content. That's what you do full-time? Or are you like a business? What do you do full-time?
No, not every day. I'm saying if y'all live together.
Okay. Make us laugh. Yeah. No, he don't got to make us laugh. I mean, because sometimes shit ain't funny, Pudgy.
Yeah, so we're having a serious... He probably got a little joke.
Yeah, we can pull up his Instagram.
I've lived with a man before.
Why is it not appropriate? Everything is appropriate. I mean, we're deep in the episode now.
Y'all having a little friendship quarrel.
Don't be worried, Pudgy. We can take this out the episode if you don't want it in it.
Oh, he wrote... Oh, you can ride horses?
Oh, wow. Oh, no, we can't show this because this is animal endangerment. Hey, Craig, pipe down.
Peter, we are sponsored. We have a sponsorship. No, it's not. It's him riding the horse. Okay, okay. His knee's buckling. Who, mine? No, the horse.
Oh, okay. Did you have fun? Oh, no.
Let's bring it back in. Was this staged?
I'm sorry, Pudgy. Did you have fun riding the horse?
It was a cool experience. I mean, well, you like horseback riding. I'm saying that could be a date idea for you guys.
But we got to go to ride.
What's that? A big-ass horse. So you need a Clydesdale.
Okay, so where can we find you doing your stand-up? When do you perform? How long have you been doing stand-up?
My mama always told me to follow her.
Why you didn't let him get his shit on?
You do be hating a little bit. Marco, I'm not going to lie.
You would have let him finish.
If it works on somebody, then finally let it work. Let him do it.
Why is it not? She don't know.
It can get boring for women, too.
So we got to do this instead of doing that.
That's Pudgy. My bad. Pudgy, I thought we was bonding because I like the bar. I was just playing with you. I feel like we have a great time every time Pudgy comes on. I love Big Pudge.
And I love Marco, but don't hate on Pudge. You got to let him come. Give me another shot, Ty. Fuck it.
How do you spice it up in the bedroom?
That's what she... We were supposed to take one. I'm going to just hold the rest of ours so we can take it together.
No, exactly. Marco... Oh, wow. So me and Marco are friends. We're frenemies.
You know? Like, we love each other, but we going to... I was trying to tell you what she was doing. We going to get on each other, you know? He's like the little brother.
Don't do Pudgy like that. I think this is a beautiful moment. It's like a family reunion. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Thank you for coming, Pudgy. This has been great.
Because he is. He's like my cousin. Ouch. Damn, Pudge. Cousin Pudgy. That's crazy. Cousin Pudgy. You don't got a bar for that?
Get down on the ground and give me some what? He was about to say.
Or y'all could go to LA Fitness. All right. But they don't have food.
You going to take the whole bowl?
I thought you wanted to stay for the bed topic. Yeah, let's do the bed topic together. So now it's time to get into the bed. Bow. Yeah, Pudgy, the bed. Bow. Bow. Bow. Bow, bow, bow. Go pudgy. Go pudgy. Go pudgy. That's a big ass nipple. What the belly?
So today, on the bed topic, we want you to be included on this. Because I feel like y'all are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
When y'all stand together, we see the number 10. You know what I'm saying? So, y'all have different experiences when it comes to... Can I help you? What happened? The number 10? Yes, the number 10.
No, I'm saying, like, the shape.
One and zero. But it depends how you look at it. You look more like an eye, though.
So we want to talk about chemistry versus physical attraction. Do you look at looks first, or are you trying to feel that spark? Do you have to have a conversation? What is it? Like, are you a physical person? Why are you looking at Pudgy?
I think, I agree. I think guys are physical, but women, we have to have that spark. You know how many fine niggas are corny?
Just like... It's no definition. You just know when he corny, you feel the vibes. You feel the aura.
Yeah, because honestly, if we're on a date, like, why do you have all this money on you anyway?
Yeah. I don't think so.
Because if you carrying, like, $6,000... He asked you a question.
That's corny. I'm not going to say I'm not going to accept it, but why are you carrying $10,000 in cash on you? Am I going to take it? Hell yeah. But it's corny because there's ways to go about that. I just feel like that's dangerous to be walking around with that amount of money on you. If you wanted to really give me money... We could have had a conversation about that.
You could have gave it to me at the house or whenever you came to pick me up. To be walking around with the wads of cash on you, you really not a safe man, a man who's about your business. Because honestly, the type of men I deal with, they know you don't even keep a lot of money in your bank account like that anyway. Your money should be in investments. Your money should be not just sitting there.
Why are you carrying cash on you like that? $6,000 in your pocket is a little wild. That's crazy. That's crazy. Why do you need that? Thank you. Especially for a date. Like, our tab ain't about to be that much. Why do you need that much money? $6,000 at dinner?
Marco said you hoes need a moderation. No, I'm saying because you look like you like extravagant things. Go ahead, Marco.
I think it's corny when women go on first dates and they be like, oh my gosh, I'm so stressed. My gosh, I don't know how I'm going to... Laying out problems.
I think that's corny. I feel like we need to get back to the basics of dating and understanding who you're dating. Like, if you're dating a man who has a regular 9 to 5 and you go on a first date talking about how you want a Chanel bag for your birthday, that's corny.
Okay, so, okay. First of all, I want to redirect the conversation. First of all, your hair. I love your hair. No, wait. We got to ask him what's his addiction. Oh, what is your addiction?
I think looking at other women, like, if you're a woman and, you know, you kind of live a regular lifestyle, and this is no shade, but, like, you're looking at somebody like Drea and looking at the lifestyle she lives, and you're like, oh, well, Drea gets that. I want that. It's goals. But also, I think we need to be, what do you like? What do you want?
Wanting things just because another girl has it is weird to me.
You know what I'm saying? And men do that, too. A lot of times, men only want to fuck a bitch because they know, oh, you used to fuck with Pudgy. Oh, I want to fuck with that hoe. That be happening all the time.
Hoes just be wanting to fuck with hoes. Niggas want to fuck with hoes just because Pudgy.
He said he don't name drugs.
Oh, you have? That's what I'm saying.
So you have a boo right now?
Why not? What's why not?
You're addicted to something.
Oh, you're a people pleaser. Okay, that's fair. Yeah. Okay.
We team. When do we ever say anything bad?
I didn't say that shit. See, that's not going to work. You lied. I did not say that. He tried it. He did. All right, all right. You said, you tried to say that.
So, Pudgy, do you have a boo?
Well, first, I want to say I love your hair. I love yours, too. You just took your braids out. You have very, very healthy hair.
Sorry. Okay, so you said you like funny girls. Yeah. What else? Physically, what do you like?
You don't like fat girls? He said that when we went on. He said he don't like big girls.
Well, Boosie said, what the hell?
What the hell? Why did he say that? What the hell? My homeboy just dick down and sell it. I thought it was okay to tell me. That's how he said it, Pudgy. Say it, Pudgy.
He could have said anything that his homeboy told him. And he said he just dick down. All Boosie homeboys that's in jail right now are pissed. Leave me out of it.
It does. I used to have a wig like that. No, not in a bad way.
Drea. Drea, you know they call her the modern day Oprah. They call her Dopra. They do call me Dopra. Because she asks good questions.
But I feel like, you know, do you grunt? This is the bad topic. Do you grunt? This is the bad topic. Do you grunt? Are you a moaner?
Yes. You just don't know about my old wigs. I used to wear, like, really, like... But your hair doesn't last.
So you don't make no noise? I know you be making noises because ever since you've been sitting down, you've been over there making noise. You make... We keep it honest on this couch. You make some noises, pudgy. So you don't do either one? Grunt or moan?
Because he be at the door listening. Because he said he had some bad shit that he was just beating his meat off to.
Yes! What else? Marco, what should we say?
Yeah, because future give girls the AP.
How do these girls know?
You speak Spanish? Give us an example. What you be saying?
You can speak Spanish, but you can't say dyslexic.
But let me say this. There's a clip going on that's like viral of you right now. You are on the show with Ocho Cinco and Shannon Sharp. I want to talk about that moment.
How did you say it? It's time to wrap.
All right, can you give us a line in Spanish that you would say during sex?
But can you say anything in Spanish? It doesn't have to be sex.
Right. Okay. That's fair. I'm not mad at that. And you said you're a silent assassin.
Y'all know that's Drea Twins. They white and black. Dalmatian. They Dalmatian twins, okay? Sabrina Carpenter...
Okay. Because this is why you have the funny in your name. I'm sorry, but like when you roasting with somebody... and they bring up, like, money, you automatically win, first of all. True. That's the rules. I'm sorry, that's the rules. As somebody who knows how to roast, like, if you, if I get on your ass and you be like, oh, but I cashed them checks, you lost.
If you can't say congratulations, Flo, on your newborn beautiful bundle of joy, mind your business, because your baby's probably up in heaven with mine. And we not bothering each other, so don't bother her. And then she had Rosa Parks on her panties. Is that Rosa Parks on her panties? In your damn panties.
The bow. Bow. Bow. Bow. Bow. Bow. Bow. So I think you should go first because you said you have a new song.
Well, we heard his music, so I obviously want to give you a chance to talk about yours.
How does he go? Can you give us a few bars?
I mean, we don't have to play it, but can you give us a few acapella bars from it?
Crazy. I'm trying to vibe with you.
I like what the belly. I do like what the belly.
Marco, what you been jamming this week? What's your bop of the week? What's your music? Because we know you can rap. We know you had a song and a rap career.
Okay, since you tested me and I failed, name five Tim's songs.
Because maybe he meant Ice-T. That's the song that he was... Ice-T, yeah.
You know what I'm saying? Because, like, we know. Well, I agree, but then I disagree, because sometimes people just don't got no money, and that's a fact. But that's not the case with him. Well, if y'all going back and forth, then yeah. Like, if I'm roasting Funny Marco, I can't be like, oh, yeah, Funny, I got them checks, though.
Burning? Burning? It is. I'm about to look... Oh, Burning is the song. It is? Okay. Oh, that's from... Okay, that's from the new one. Something new. You missing a good one? Something new? Something new, yeah. Which album is that from? I'm not seeing it.
I don't think Something New is one. But you got Burning? No, I got a couple. I gave you Ice-T because you said the other... Yeah, but I'm saying I listen to it. Yeah, yeah.
So what's your bop of Tim's?
Okay. I still haven't listened to that. You told me about her. Yeah. And I need to listen to her, and I haven't. I really like that song. Okay, I'm going to listen to it. Yes. Okay. I want to listen to it. Um, so there's this artist. She went viral recently. I know y'all be on TikTok. Y'all heard that song? Cause I'm too messy. And I'm something kinkly.
Okay, so anyway, she has an EP.
She's really fucking dope. Like, sometimes I, when a viral TikTok song, I be like, I don't believe you as an artist. Yes, her. So she has an EP, and she has a song called Conceited, and it's so good. But honestly, the whole EP is called This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway. The whole album is fire. Lola Young is a star. We don't get a lot of stars that come along. You know what I'm saying?
And she's got it. She makes really good music. Like, I haven't heard a project that I can really listen to from start to finish in a while.
Um, they had a few bops on there.
Um, I had a few skips. I did.
Well, I couldn't name my Kendrick songs. I got a little tipsy.
But Drake got hits now. Drake has albums with no skips now. We not gonna do that. But I said the P&D album. I'm a Drake fan. Y'all like Party Next Door? I like party. I know. I never got into it. But that's me. That's just me. I never got into it. But it's just my ears. Certain ears, you know.
And this is no shade to Shay Shay, because, you know, he... No, you're just talking for everybody. Yeah, for everybody. But everybody don't know how to roll. And that's what I more so was thinking. Like, of course, somebody like Shannon, if it's you and Shannon Sharp, then yeah, if he got to go to money, then you lost.
It's like when that era was happening, you were either really into Party Next Door or you were into The Dream.
Yes. So you were either like a Party Next Door or you were like into The Dream. And I was on The Dream side.
You know what I'm saying? The Dream. You would compare them? The Dream and Party Next Door? Mm-hmm. But it's no comparison. I feel like it was the dream. I mean, it was Party Next Door and The Weeknd. Yeah. Well, I think when he came out, the comparison was it kind of sounded similar to the dream. Like the writing styles, like the auto-tune and things like that.
And I'm like, you know, so I was a little biased. But I tried. But honestly, I'm not into The Weeknd. For real? I know. And you think I would be because the type of music. You didn't like Trilogy? No. Mm-mm. I never got into The Weeknd. Oh, wow. That's crazy. Trilogy. I know. I know. I know. He came out in, like, 2012. I was in college.
But what does trilogy mean?
All right, Buzz Lightyear, let's move on. Trilogy means there's three. Three.
That is what it means. Okay. But hey, this is a place of learning. I got you. So now you know when people ask you. I did that to help you.
So now when you go on a podcast, ain't nobody going to ask you.
But when you go on the other, your big podcast, they be like, trilogy is three. It means there's three of them. It means one.
Like, people say the Batman trilogy.
That's a lie. Because I've read Harry Potter books. You can't read that shit in a day. That's a lie.
You're lying. You a speed reader?
And you got to speed read.
Well, let me ask you this. You read all the Harry Potter books? Yes. Name the four Harry Potter houses.
That's not the house. That's the school.
But you read all four books. But you read all four books. And that's a major thing.
Okay, let's move on. Dre, let's see if you can speed read, though.
Yeah, read it how you read your Harry Potter books in a day.
What is this, Drea? A page from Harry Potter. It's a page off of Harry Potter? It is.
You were reading very good. I'm sorry. I was into it.
Secret. You're doing good. That's what I'm saying. He can read. So now I believe you.
But I believe in him. It was.
I think he can read it in a day.
Okay, so now that, but Pudgy, I believe you.
You were supposed to read it faster than that.
You'll never understand what you're reading. Let Marco Summers read your question. Because last time you were struggling reading.
But you can read. I want to get through the question.
You don't want to read?
You only had one drink. That's why I said let him read it.
I think the Miss... You know, this is what I was getting at. Miss Netta stayed catching straight.
You should take a shot. Around the shot, Si. Not for me, though.
Let him read it. No, yeah.
Yeah, go ahead, Dre. Go ahead. Just read it.
She's not... I'm reading faster than you, though.
And start from the beginning. And don't breathe hard.
No. This way? Dyslexic. Dyslexic?
Do we reach out to her? All right, well, you need to come on here.
Okay. That was good, but now you got to read it a little slower so the people can know what you said. Because we got to give advice. Come on, Pudgy. We got to wrap this up.
That was good. That was good. So what's y'all advice? What's y'all advice?
People really go through real life shit. Marco hate me, man. He hates me.
Okay, but what's the advice for her?
Well, no, the reason I say this is because I watch Real Housewives of Atlanta.
How you feel, Dre? Me too. Amen. All right, we got one more question. You want to do the next one? No, I mean, I feel like sometimes you have to just let people go through their journey.
When you are questioning things that are going on in somebody's life and you're like, I don't know where I stand, let them do what they do because if somebody wants you in their life, they're going to make sure you're there. Period. No matter what they're going through. Because I've realized that because in my friendships, friends that I want to be around, I make sure that we work it through.
And Ms. Netta was on live and she was so happy because they were like, oh my God, they were talking about me on Real Housewives. They were like shading her. But that's still good, though.
niggas, I'd be like, I don't really care if you're here or not. And men that I do care about, I'd be like, oh, I want you here. And it's the same thing. Just like you care about your partners in romantic relationships, it's the same thing. So I feel like people that give that effort, they want you there, they're going to show that they want you there.
So work, family, whatever you got going on, kids, that's just excuses. So I think a lot of times men look for a way out. So him saying work, it's just him trying to be nice, to be honest. It's him trying to be nice and break it to you a little easier. That's just how I feel. So that may be bad advice, but.
Y'all know him from doing pranks. He took it from the pranks to doing stand-up. You know, has one of the hottest podcasts out right now. Give it up for my friend, Funny Marco! Thank you. What's up?
Period. Okay, last one. Hey, y'all, if you're reading this, I'm a huge fan of the show. I'm from Houston, too. So I've been watching since the beginning. I'm in quite a predicament. I'm a 29-year-old man, and I've been dating the love of my life for the past two and a half years. She's 14 years older than me, but that's never really been an issue.
I proposed to her about six months ago and we're getting married in the last week of June. For my birthday in February, she got a DNA test kit because I have been questioning whether or not my father, the man that raised me, my biological dad,
But I'm saying, like, why do people do that to Miss Netta? You caught up with Miss Netta.
I'm not done. My fiance told me about a child she gave up for adoption when she was 14 in New Orleans. But I never thought anything of it because I believe that my parents were actually biologically related to me. I haven't confronted my parents about the fact that they are not my actual parents. And I've been hiding the results from my fiance, technically my fucking mother.
To make things worse, we have been trying for a baby, and now I hope to fucking God she is not pregnant. I am genuinely at such a loss. Everyone I know and love, including my parents, adores us as a couple, and now... Now, this is a lie. I know whoever wrote this is lying, because if your parents, you know who you took the baby from. So let's stop Tyler Perry. Mm-hmm.
Oh, you had her on your show?
I didn't think about that. Stop. If you're adopted. They don't allow that.
I'm genuinely at a loss. No, he's fucking. Let me just finish it. Including my parents adores us as a couple and now I'm going to have to call off a fucking wedding because I would be marrying my mother. I don't know what to do and how to bring this up to my parents or my fiance. Any advice as to how I could bring this up tactfully as possible as I would appreciate it? Please help a nigga out.
So why did you say she looked like Shana Sharpe?
You're trying to write a movie. You're a story writer and you're trying to pitch your movie idea and I'm all for it. I would watch this movie. That's a movie? Yes, this is a movie. Yeah. Somebody is writing, this is not real. This would never happen. Because you can't adopt somebody and not know whose child you have. Like, closed adoptions are a thing, but you still know who the parents are.
For real? You were adopted? Yeah. So was it closed or open?
Okay. I got adopted too by my biological aunt. Great aunt, my bad. Yeah, so I feel like, interesting story, but you can't fool me. I know a Tyler Perry movie when I see one. Yeah, that don't sound, that sound crazy. At the end of the day, because he said his parents, you almost had me, but when he said, my parents adore us as a couple.
If your parents would have met y'all as a couple, they would have known, oh, this is the woman we adopted the baby from. Because y'all have to sign papers together.
This is Tyler Perry. He said, let me try this. Let me test this out. Let me test this script out before mine. And then you asking us what should you do? Nigga, you know what you need to do. That's your mama. If that's your mama, you need to stop talking to her. Now he in love with his mama.
You say what? What did you say?
Okay, Funny Marker, let us know what you got coming up, where they can find you, all that good stuff.
Everybody's handsome. Okay, let me say this, Marco, and I'm being serious. I do not, I'm not being funny. I don't like when people talk about your skin.
Where can they find you at? What you got coming up?
That's a big deal. Yeah. Is it like, can you tell us about it? Like, what is it going to be?
No, it doesn't matter. It's okay. It's going to work out. We're going to speak positively.
When are you changing your Instagram name?
I don't think it's funny. It's a low-hanging fruit.
That's a big... Rebranding is hard. And I'm not even being funny right now. Rebranding, like, you really got to do it right.
You know what I'm saying?
He did. He did. I'm not being... No, he did. Remember that?
It worked. Remember the McCann and Turbin?
And then he rebranded to Diddy. Yeah, that's a wrap. Thank y'all. We love you guys. Wait. Make sure y'all tune in to Travel Queens on BET. Mm-hmm.
Oh, and are y'all going to come? Are y'all going to come to the premiere party Monday?
It's Monday. Premiere party. It's going to be at the Gathering Spot. Pudgy, you coming through?
No. It's cocktail attire. I mean, just long pants. Like, you can wear this.
Yeah. Yeah, no shorts. You can wear it like a top like this. Yeah, yeah.
You got some nice one, too?
Oh, y'all are Adidas sponsored. Great. Okay. So, Travel Queens every Wednesday.
I don't like it. I agree with her, though. I feel like it's very low-hanging fruit. Like, why is that where we go?
Remember what's his name? I'm not talking to you, but. Now shut your bitch ass up before I get to talking shit about you.
All right, Big Pudgy. Funny. I mean, Marco Summer.
And y'all make sure y'all submit Love Lex P every Monday. Love Lex P on YouTube. See y'all every Monday at 10 a.m. We'll see y'all next week. Bye, y'all. MuseBeautyCollection.com.
Y'all make sure y'all share the content, like, subscribe, follow, all that good stuff. And let me say this before we close out. Y'all, there is one Twitter account that is connected to Poor Minds.

Have you ever gotten mad on camera?
I'm going to break it down.
That was... That wasn't funny. That was honestly, that shit corny. Yeah, that wasn't funny. I'm not amused. I'm not amused. That shit lame.
He's trying not to laugh. Marco. What? Summers.
Who do you think looked more like Miss Netta?
Are you asking me that? This is what I have to say about the clip. Ocho Cinco was in the middle laughing. That would have been mean. He was being messy because it looked like... I know a laugher. He was laughing at funny Marco jokes and he was laughing at how mad Shannon is.
He was trying to play it off.
But I know. I fuck with Shady Sharks.
It was just an interesting clip.
Oh. Okay, so let's talk about... I think that's a great compliment. Yeah, because I'm really laughing. I think people don't think we're going to be funny just based off of, like, if they seen us out.
Like if they just seen us somewhere and they didn't know about poor minds, I don't think they would think we're... What's up, y'all? It's your girl, Lex P. And it's your girl, Drea Nicole. And we're going to completely change your restroom ritual with Good Wipes.
And one of the best things about it too is that they're flushable. So you're not messing up the environment at all. So Good Wipes are available at Target, Kroger, any local grocery store. And the best thing about it, if you go to goodwipes.com backslash poorminds, you'll get your first pack for free. All you have to do is text them your receipt and you'll get reimbursed.
Summers is your last name?
I want that, for sure.
Um, so there's a lot of, uh, background to, to the question. Um, okay, let it rip. So the first half of the first eight or nine years of our marriage were very, uh, emotionally abusive from my side and it caused a lot of walls, um, between us.
And, um, When I would come home from work and I would see if the house is dirty or things that weren't the way I wanted them, and I would notice that maybe she was on her phone, I would automatically say, well, you've been on your phone for multiple hours. Why haven't you been cleaning the house? And that has led to other conversations, to other areas of our marriage.
And now I feel like when I talk to her about her being on her cell phone, it automatically brings up all the things from the past. And it's hard for me to push through that and for us to get through that barrier.
Sure. And we've spent a lot of time in counseling and a lot of... That's all well and good.
Yes. Okay. But it, it still can. So that old, that old self, um, I feel like she's thinking that it's still going to come up and that can still, uh, cause walls. Um, and if I walk in the house and I see the house is dirty and I have a, the, the look on my face, like I used to have on my face, she immediately goes to, she's not enough and she's not good enough.
And I'm, you know, going right back to those things and I'm not sure how to get, how to get past that. You can't.
How can I talk to my wife about her cell phone use without causing defensiveness? It's hard for me to push through that and for us to get through that barrier.
Yeah. And alcohol... My ultimate, I mean. Scrolling Instagram works.
Right. Yeah, and I feel like I've pushed her to that point to where she wants to do that. And it's because of my actions early in our marriage. That is just.
I just, I love her so much. And I just, I want to get past this to where this isn't a thing anymore. And I, I'm just not sure what to do.
It's been several years since we started doing it.
Yeah. And we had a major life shift about six years ago. We had dealt with infertility for years, about 10 years. And then we're looking at our future and... what God had for us. And then she became pregnant and now we have two boys. Um, and, uh, it's totally changed the trajectory of our marriage. And so we've had to start to build something new and that's caused a lot of frictions along the way.
No, we were like, okay, well, you know, we've been trying for 10 years and I just, we don't think we're going to have kids again. So now let's start looking past when our daughter graduates high school and what that's going to look like. And we're looking in the future and now we're not going to have a house of kids. And then now we have two young kids and yeah.
Hey, how you doing today? I'm doing all right, brother. How about you, man? I'm doing well. Thank you for having me on your show. I really appreciate it. Absolutely, man. What's up? So my question is, how can I talk to my wife about her cell phone use without causing defensiveness?
The way I was raised. Tell me more. I was never affirmed by my father.
Um, and when there was issues in the house, it was always put on me and my parents would fight and then my dad would leave and, and it would always, it always felt like it was my fault. And then my mom would try to protect me and coddle me through that. And, uh, yeah, so I have a lot of, yeah, I fight with that a lot.
A hundred percent.
Even, even more so in our house than when I was a kid.
For our confidence in the Cagrosima molecule is very, very high. Good to hear, Martin. Very encouraging.
Given the circumstances, we and Lars-Fluge Jørgensen have concluded that it is in the best interest of the company that he steps down, which is what we have announced today.
Yeah, hey, thank you for taking my question. Sure. What's up? I just got a quick question. I'm 34. I got no savings. I got a baby on the way in May. Yay! And my credit score is in the crapper, and I don't know where to begin to rebuild.
Yeah, that's what the wake-up call was. And I'm $27,000 in debt.
Which may not seem... What do you make? Close to two grand a month, maybe a little bit more, depending on how much I work.
Take care of animals.
And I've also... I don't, but I also have options of buying the business if I work hard enough.
Well, that's true. I'm also thinking about getting into trade work, too.
Plumbing.
So I was hoping like maybe you guys might have some guidance.
I'm 34.
Uh, not long, not too long.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We're not married yet. Okay, we're not married yet.
We're living together in a camper to save money. I bet. Yeah, because things are really tight right now.
Yeah.
No.
And John's gospel is different from the other three gospels. He only picks about 12 characters. conversations and happenings. And he does those on purpose because each time there's some Jewish representative, some feast of the tabernacles or the Passover. And he got all deep into that, which I thought was fascinating. Because he's trying to show the Jewish world, hey, God became a man.
His name is Jesus. Don't miss that. And they're one. And we need to be one as they're one. I mean, that was kind of where this was going.
Jay threw you under the bus when you weren't here. Wait a minute, Si. Did you miss the pintail? That's all I said.
So are me and my wife.
What I'm saying, though, is if you read what he says, he's right. It does keep coming up. Now, if somebody wants to take that and go down, it's like Jesus changed the water into wine. And so you have this big debate on whether it was wine because Jesus wouldn't have done that if it was fermented. Al, have you had people come to you and make those claims?
I'm like, okay, let me just take a time out. Because whatever it's talking about, that's not it. Now, we can talk about it when we have literally nothing else to do. But I'm saying they're missing the bigger picture. And I think John is explaining that. something that to them and to people today is crazy. God became a man and they're one. I read, that's why I read the John 10. It says we are one.
Yeah.
What happened to that rule, though, about you only shoot things you see? If you're hat.
I agree with what.
He wasn't making a doctrinal position about anything. He just said that, you're going to see some clues in John 1 that you're going to go further down the rabbit hole as you go through John with these theme lines. Now, life, love, and light are a little easier to manage, but he was like, this oneness is a little harder to manage because a lot of people, like Zach just said,
Take that to where it means something else. What he was trying to say is that God is love, and love is, I don't know the word he used, but it must be expressed. It's like if there was just one aspect of God, well, how could he love?
No, that's good. That's a good way to say it. And so that fact is what's so powerful about what humans need from God, which is why he sent Jesus in love Who saved the world.
Because it's actually an expression of love because love does not delight in evil.
Eschatology, which is what happens later.
Well, that's why I went through the love. And it's actually, if you go John 17 and go backwards... every time love is mentioned, it's actually you'll have a light bulb moment because that's kind of what I did. It's like, oh. And I think John did that on purpose. That's why I said you are introduced to Jesus in a way that's very well written.
No, I agree.
25 shells. You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free. You're mostly right, because they were further, I guess. We were missing. It wasn't 25. I would say half a box. I'd say 12 shots, which is a lot. Now we're going with excuses, aren't we?
Yeah, I mean, it's hard for me to not read that and not think he had a humorous. Because they always thought. Well, because everybody always says, it's like my mom has told every son, Every grandkid, every great grandkid, you know you're my favorite.
25 hours ago, I brought her and Phil two pork chops. And I had been hunting. I was sweating because it was 75 degrees. But I brought them two pork chops. And you know what she said? That's why you're my favorite. And so I've told everybody that I'm the one that mom loves. Oh, boy. You know what?
You know what they say about excuses. Yeah, I love it. But he cut that pen tail. No, we missed him. The only thing I thought is my heart wasn't into it. It's like shooting skeet. I'm terrible. Oh, yeah. I mean, because I can't eat a skeet.
Yeah, I was leading them too far. You were leading them way too far.
It was with a 20 gauge.
Well, that's what I was going to say. So when you go back to how John started, in the beginning, all of his audience immediately went back to Genesis 1 because it says, in the beginning, God. Well, then what was kind of the climax of that story when God created humans? Remember when he said, all right, this is good, this is good, this is good. He created humans. This is very good. Well, now...
He starts off, I mean, just think of the boldness here. In the beginning was the Word. And what is the climax of what he's saying? The whole point here is verse 14. The Word became flesh. So back to Genesis 1, the climax was he made humans and God would dwell with them. And he did for a short period of time. And now you have God becoming a human I mean, that's what he was putting out there.
And it was not well received. But I think one of the reasons he does make that claim that I'm the one that Jesus loved is because about four times that I could find, he's telling a story, and then all of a sudden he pauses, unlike the other gospel writers, and say, now this is what he meant. This is what was going to happen later. And I wanted to give you an example of that.
So in John 2, you remember after Jesus clears the temple, And you get down to about verse 18. It says, Then the Jews demanded of him, What miraculous sign can you show us to prove you have authority to do this? Because he just cleaned out the temple. Now, we all know that they, under the former regime before Jesus, they put all their hopes, dreams, politics, economy, religion, worship,
I think they might. They were nice guys.
culture, family, in what happens in that temple because that is where God's presence is being revealed.
And so Jesus goes in there, get out of here, turning over tables. You've turned my father's house into a market. Yeah, den of thieves and all that. So then Jesus answered them in 219, destroy this temple. Because they said, what sign? And I'll raise it again in three days. Yeah, and I'll raise it again in three days.
The Jews replied, it has taken 46 years to build this temple, and you're going to raise it in three days? Now, all of a sudden, even though you don't see it in your Bible, John calls a timeout. So he's going through the story, and then in verse 21, he says, but the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, he's going all the way to the end.
We're a long way from that. We're in John chapter 2. It's like, what kind of writer does this? And I think... One who writes his own commentary. I like that. This is what was happening, which I'm so glad because this is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. Yeah. Because he's showing you the preview of why he would become king of kings. He's going to die. He's going to be buried.
And he's going to raise...
this temple from the ground the temple he was talking about was his actual body which is just incredible yeah that you that somebody is is talking about a human like this i mean we all take it for granted because we've read all this but if you started talk making these claims you know you went up to a church bill and said hey all y'all get out of here and they're like who who you think you are
And he's like, hey, you destroy this temple and I'll raise it up. They're looking around at the building. He's like, well, then you have this voice. The actual temple that he's talking about is his body. And he's going to bring that back from the dead. Well, then he kind of gets into the emotional aspect of the disciples. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.
Well, he was one of the disciples. So I don't know if he was including himself in that. I guess he is. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken. And then it goes back to the story. Now, while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, well, what's the significance of the Passover feast? Well, now you go back to John 2.
Remember with John the Baptist, first thing he said? Look, the Lamb of God. What does that have to do? Where's all these Passover feasts? Where's that even coming from? It's involving lambs. Well, why is the forerunner calling Jesus the Lamb of God? Right. Why was Jesus crucified?
On the day they were crucifying all the lambs at the temple. Right. Well, I mean, the more you start looking at this, the more you think, who could make this up? Right. What's happening here? Is it possible that he actually came back from the dead and died as a sacrifice for all human beings on the planet?
How do they know that?
Well, I want to piggyback on something Zach said earlier that on the last podcast, I brought up Proverbs 8, but I wish I'd have read it. But I want to read it now because something Zach said is in Proverbs 8. And so earlier when he was talking about life and death, which is what we're talking about here, even Jesus saying, look, you destroy this temple.
I'm going to bring it back, which is what is so appealing about this because we're all dying. Exactly. I mean, go find something.
Find something in the law that's going to keep you alive. I mean, which is foreign. They're like, well, we may be gaseous spirits floating around whatever, which is some of the same things we do today. But I want to read this Proverbs 8. So in the middle of this lady wisdom analogy, in verse 27, you kind of see this looking like Jesus because it says, I was there when he set the heavens in place.
He's talking about wisdom, but We know all the verses in Colossians. Christ is our wisdom. He's the wisdom of God. As a human, you want to know what God's wisdom is like. Well, he became a man so we can understand what the wisdom of God is like. And if we have him inside of us, we become real wise on how to navigate life and how to help people.
So then he goes on to say before the foundations, but he gets down to the end in the last two verses. I mean, Zach literally quoted this a while ago without given the reference. It says, for whoever finds me, and this is Proverbs 8, 35, whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But whoever fails to find me harms himself. All who hate me love death. I mean, what a statement.
And that's why when you hear the case for Jesus, as John lays out, These are the theme lines that you have to start pondering. You're like, well, if I'm not in the light, I'm in darkness. If I don't have life, all I'm left with is death. If I don't have love, no wonder I'm so grumpy.
Yeah, that's why Jesus' resurrection is so important because every other power, tries to use death as their means of power display. That's right. That's what they say. Oh, look how powerful. I don't know.
You know what? I'm kind of with Lisa. Have you ever noticed my house? You know how many mounted animals are in my house? I've never seen one. I've never mounted an animal.
But I like quantity also.
Well, that's why I think he said Proverbs 8. He's like, whoever does not come to me.
Well, I think when he made the reference in John 2 that I read, when he said, then they believed, after he was raised from the dead, 2.22. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scriptures. Well, what are scriptures? Words.
And so that's why later he would say in John 5, You think you're going to have eternal life because you know the scriptures. Well, you know the words. Who is Jesus doing the most arguing with? People who are experts in the law, which is a lot of words with rules attached, and those who know all these kind of words. We do the same thing today. We'll read a scripture. We'll break down the word.
A little birdie told me that on the Duck Call Room podcast, y'all just not only throw me under the bus, but run over me. Back up, do it again. Back up, do it again. Somebody told me that.
Five different ways, you know, and we deem people more smarter or more close to God with however many words they know. That's why I'm always making fun of Zach for all the words he knows. And I think that's why he started this off. If you want to know what God says, I'm going to take that and become a person. Yeah. I mean, it's fascinating.
Well, exactly. Do you think it's an accident that the last verse in John is he makes this bizarre thing that says, I've chosen these few things. so that you can believe. He says that in the previous chapter. But then he says, but Jesus did a lot of other things. There's not enough books in the world. If all of them are written down, there's not enough books. Well, what are in books? Words. Words.
He started off saying, in the beginning is the Word. I never made this connection until last night, I thought. Then he makes this weird illustration that if we tried to write down everything he did, there would not be enough books or not enough room to hold all the books, all the words to describe and all the thoughts based on what he did, who he is, what he's going to do, however you want to.
This year, Si, y'all been hunting that deer for five years. No, only two. Only two.
You're welcome back in the time. There's someone in my head. It's not me. But when I received the Holy Spirit, I actually thought, ooh, I have a different version of that song.
How many times did you shot at this dude? Tell the truth.
Okay, yeah.
Oh, I know. This story's hilarious.
He said, Si, there's a deer. Let me get the camera.
So he goes down there. Now, Si, tell the truth. You said, oh, I got that deer.
So you hear a shot.
I'm going to have to interpret what happened.
The next day, so I'll say it simple. What happened was the deer was standing there.
But the very moment that Si pulled the trigger, because they looked at where the blood was, where the big deer was standing, he missed the big deer. Because a yearling stepped in front, or I think just darted in front. And he clipped the yearling. Hey, no greater love. No greater love. That's it.
And then Si, weeks later, actually got another opportunity.
I did take Si's side. I think from where the deer was standing, I think it was close enough to... Oh, it was a good shot. It was a good shot.
The deer only ran 70 yards and was just dead. And that deer... was a bus with horns. Oh, yeah. I mean, huge. But he was a lot bigger last year.
It's with love, though, James. Because Martin, he said something to me. He said he heard that I threw him under the bus. And I said, and it was a big bus. Because he's a big man.
And none of these animals that we're discussing were injured or hurt, except the ones we killed and the few of the heads. Except the ones we've been eating.
Did you shed a tear or something?
And so since it bothered him, then I found some new material the other day when he volunteered to hunt out of the blind. The day you were there, we were hunting. And I told the story about you shooting the crow. And you missed the pintail. But then you wanted to let everybody know. You didn't miss the pintail because you couldn't shoot.
Well, I might have got too deep talking about this theme about being one. I don't think you did. I did leave off this part, which probably should have started with this. I mean, when you think of defining one, even in the Greek, it's the same concept of you have one. So like when we say Jesus is the king of kings, we're like, there's one true king. His name is Jesus.
Well, we're saying he's unique. Well, why is he unique? Why is he king of kings? Well, he's imperishable, indestructible, innocent. He's sinless. I mean, there's a lot of unique qualities that makes him one of a kind. Now, but then so, but he says me and the father are one. Okay, that's a little bit of a mind blower, but it's deep is my point.
But then you also have the idea of humans coming together. I mean, you have individuals, which I told you, most of the book of John uses that grammar as singular. It's like anyone who comes to me, it's anyone who hears it. And he had an example, and I'll give you this little, I took a picture of this because I thought it was interesting. So listen to this on the stats of this.
Because he puts major themes in John. And he has the one who, that phrase, the one who, 37 times. Yeah. That's a lot. Yeah.
In reference to God? No, I'm going to give you the example. The one who believes in the son has eternal life. But the one who refuses to believe in the son. will not see life, but must endure God's wrath. That's John 3.36. Here's another one. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself. That's 14.21.
So that little phrase, I thought that was pretty incredible. Do you not agree? 37 times in a singular fashion?
Over 50.
So listen to this. 14 times it says, if anyone. And ours, when I looked at mine, it was like whoever. So here's two examples. If anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. 851.
Look, he's not making some doctrine out of this because he said there's also one instance where he's talking about the whole, but his point was, but the whole thing, especially when you get into John 17, is about us becoming one because of the one God, who Jesus is. So he's like, but it is a, to his point, this is mentioned a whole lot in the book of John. Cause I started just reading them all.
And I thought, you know, if something is mentioned this many times, it means something, the uniqueness and the unity that comes from that on who God is revealing himself in Jesus.
Thank you for making my point, Al. I think Zach's got smoke coming off his head. I see it.
But look, he made a lot of points. That one just was the most fascinating to me. as I read and thought about unity and the unity of God, even though it's complex for us to wrap our heads around, he kind of introduces that in the first chapter. Mackey's whole point was when you read the first chapter, it's kind of like all these clues that he then uses characters.
