How is there? Is there enough sugar? He digs it. He finally got a coffee he can drink up here. Stone approved. How much sugar he thinks there is enough. Too much. Half a cup.

Half a cup of sugar. You got half a cup of sugar in that half. That's what the man needs is more energy. Welcome back to the duck call room. I'll welcome you as soon as he gets his headset on. I ain't ready. All right. All right, here we go.

All right. He's ready now. He's got stone made, fresh-brewed coffee. It's a morning episode. They tried to put me on the sugar bus. How'd that work? Hey, I got one. Well, good.

Today ought to be entertaining. Well, I got the energy, boys. Hey. Well, that's because you stay so active. He's here. That's it. All right. Very active.

I get out of bed about 10 o'clock. It's 10. Yeah. I don't know. Y'all woke me up real early this morning. What time did you? you wake up. I woke up about 7.30.

Did you set an alarm? No, I just rolled back over and looked at it. Did you go back to bed? I said, well, I got a podcast at 10. I said, I better set my alarm. Christine said, don't set no alarm. I'll be up. And I said, well, wait me up at 9.30.

So your alarm clock's back home and doing well? Yep, she's back home and doing good. Except they're having problems with her diet. Her diet. Imagine that. Uh-oh. No more medium plus stakes for her. No, she can't have no of that.

No, she doesn't have too much duck and dressing. Too many sage. She's going to have to get off of it. I think it was that Sonic bag about five days a week. Who's that? It's a half. On Sonic? Oh, I like, I like Sonic.

Oh, yeah. They make a good cheeseburger, and they also make a good PLT. America's favorite drive-in. And then what? And then they got the halibut. opinion you uh poppers i don't know what they call them the poppers oh you eat the cheddar peppers yeah yeah yeah they're good i don't know about that don't turn me on them i didn't even know it we went through there one time he ordered them and i said get another get another run that back

that's a good thing about sonic you're sitting there so you can do that oh yeah yeah yeah you know it is the american's favorite drop though the problem with them cheddar peppers though you take a bite of it if it just come out that gurry stuff you'd just come out that gree Oh, yeah. Yeah, you got to watch that. It shoots that molten lava down the back of your throat. And you just got like second-degree burns and there wasn't nothing you could do about it.

Yeah, holly. Are the jalapeno's hot? No. No, no, no. No, very tame. The cheese inside there is molten. Yeah, there's lava. Yeah.

It gets you. Do you know what restaurant has the hottest jalapinas in the whole wide world? Subway? Used to. Oh, you do know. Sir, if you see me in a subway, call the police. Well, I'm just saying. You do know.

that there are five different heat sources in jalapaginas, right? I did not. Oh, yeah. I learned that from a guy from California that I met in when I was living in Alabama. He had him in a garden, and he brought him to him. Oh, yeah, different variety.

Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. He leveled, like the top one, he brought me some. He said, hey, these are excellent. and, you know, hot and sweet tomatoes. And I love them. Bad move. Too hot.

Oh, too hot. Well, a bell pepper is technically a jalapeno, right? What? Yeah. Yeah, but hey, these go past. Yeah. Yeah, they just got in there and got the super tame ones. And, I mean, like.

When I can't eat it. Pretty sure, that's right. Okay. It's hot. And the only other place that's got peppers that are worse is Vietnam. I was going to say Domino's pizza, but no. Vietnam might have a pizza. Dominos are pretty hot, but they're good.

Amosan. Hey, if you had a soup that you would eat, if you had a cold. No more cold. And I'm in a bad one. You eat that soup? Hey, you ain't got a cold anymore. Do you get the recipe? Halipino soup?

Well, I tell you, although they got a little, like a, oh, they got them real, real small. pepper ball habanero probably i don't know what it is but hey if you touch that thing to your lip it's immediately blister well since the sense of internet and filming and social media all that people come

obsessed with like how hot of something can you eat well hey what fun is that as a top alpineia it's too hot well of course you remember old burgey our sound man oh yeah He carried around the, he's a reformed drug addict. Okay. This true story, he'll tell you if you ever run into it. And he found a way,

he had this dropper of stuff that was just pure heat, basically. And he would put it on his tongue because it's so hot that it like released endorphins and gave you like a little small high. So it was his way of staying sober. The world's hot. Like the world's hot as hot sauce. Yeah. But he had it in a dropper.

Yeah. Just like before bed. Put it on his tongue. Put it on his tongue. And you'd see him like his face would change color. It was so hot. He'd be poor and sweat. And this was without, to not do drugs?

Uh-huh. No. This was his. This was his. This was the man that found a jar of pickles and the duck blind that had probably been there for 30 years. In case you wanted to know where that episode of Duck Dynasty. he comes from. It was actually Eric Burge that did it.

And he ate them? Oh yeah. They had turned. They had already like a pickle's green when it's when it's pickled. Correct. Okay. This had turned a murky brown. But he said, hey, it's pickled.

It's preserved. Yeah, it's preserved. He says, so hey, I'm going in and he ate it. We watched him about three days and he acted really strange. Well, look, going back to the hottest, hot as pepper. Yeah. In restaurants, in town around here, you were going to say... Dominoes.

Oh, Dominoes are hot. Dominoes are hot. You probably don't eat a lot of pizza, but Domino's pizza, way hotter than all the other pizzas. Yeah. Johnny's light you up, too, now. Johnny's on his best Domino. They're getting them from a different place. I agree.

That Milano's place got some hot peppers too now. What is that? The little Italian joint right there behind El Sombrero. Oh, I've never been there. Behind the hat. Is it any good? Brittany likes it. I don't care for it.

But they got one, they got like one spicy chicken thing where they cut the jalapinas up. And it's edible. And they're hot. So they told Christine she got to change her diet. Oh, yeah. Well. They're still working on it. You know, the Robertsons don't have a history of change.

Change are good diets. Or healthy eating. Or healthy eating. So that's going to be difficult. Look at him. They told Miss K and Phil the same thing, but they said, Phil, you ever thought about not eating so much fried food? You know, they fry everything. Amen.

And he said. How else do you think I got to 320? He said, do what? Do what? He said, peanut oil. Healthy. Peanuts made from peanuts. Flour.

Made from wheat. Made from wheat. What's not healthy about? I feel about that. So how are you going to tell somebody? I support it. But at their age, too, man, even Christine, you've had a heck of a life.

Oh, yeah. Just let it fall. Eat what you want. Eat what you want. Like, at that point, what are you trying to do? Be here to 120? Do you ever, like, sit down and look at a meal and, like, say, I'm not going to eat that for my health?

No. I've looked at some healthy stuff and said, I'm not going to eat that. Yeah. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cooking.

And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Triedales, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. and you never really know where that beef comes from,

but with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill.

Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah.

Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. We always talk about food on this show. Well, you're the one that brought up diet in the first minute. This is on you, big dog. I'm just saying, hey, food is a very special thing. Oh, yeah. That's the reason it wrapped up every Duck Dynasty episode.

Really? Because it brings folks together. Well, not only that, hey, you know, and like Phil always said, hey, look, if you just, somebody cooks something and it ain't no good, if you eat it and say, yeah, oh, that was wonderful, guess what you're going to get the rest of the time? That again. You're going to get the same garbage. But you can be a little more civilized than he is with that.

No. I'm saying no better. No, but hey. Look, hey, if you can't handle it. Hey, that's like the line in the movie. Hey, you know, I want the truth. You can't handle the truth. Okay.

Because if you cook something and it ain't no good, I'm not going to say, you know, the thought to hurt your feelings, I'm not going to say, oh, that was delicious. Yeah. No, that was garbage. No, he's going to go and say that ain't much and get up and walk out. You didn't do what you need. That's, you know, women, women are a little more sensitive than men. I got in trouble that other day.

I tried that stupid maneuver with my wife. Yeah, that's a bad call. He's listening to his mentor. Guess what happened? She didn't talk. I know Anna well. No, no. She didn't do the not talk thing.

She don't cook. She didn't cook for 10 years. She don't cook. I've been watching them too. thinking, okay, that's the way you do it. Uh-huh. Because I saw, I saw Phil on many occasions tell Ms. Kay, you missed it on that. Mm-hmm.

And there was no sugar-coating it. It was like, you missed it. This ain't no good. And then he'd feed it to the dogs. Well, hey, I never did in the military. That was my biggest issue, okay, is everybody always made people mad. You did? Hey, I was honest.

Well, you can be honest, but. a lot of times. I'm not being mean when I said, hey, look, you just said it's garbage and the way. See, time out. Yeah. Where you and your brother struggle on honesty, we all appreciate the truth.

Yeah. Y'all's delivery suffers. Well, no, no. You can be honest without being borderline hateful. Well, no, though, because I've realized that because used to, okay, you know, I had, I had, they called it, I think. you've got a lot of tack. Okay, you can tell somebody, hey, you can go to H.

Okay, but if you do it in a sweet tone, it's okay. I don't think saying that's never nice. Well, I used to be able to do that until I got sick of it, okay? There's an age where it doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, well, I guess that's what I did. I guess that's what I just got to the point that, hey, you know, I'm not going to sugarcoat this for you. You're a grown person.

You're just going to have to suck it up. Take it. Hey, as a man, and look, hear me saying, I've suffered from poor presentation in the past myself. Yeah. Like, I have. Oh, yeah. Can confirm. Yeah.

I have suffered from poor presentation, and I've gotten chewed out over it. So we all do it. Yeah. But, you know. But when is your wife? When it's your wife? I did it two nights ago. You had poor presentation?

Poor presentation. See? She, because we're trying to eat a little healthier, which is tough. Especially when she on a sourdough bag so hard. Yeah, and so she made these little Mexican bowls, right, with rice and beans. I'm interesting. Steak. Yeah.

Shrimp. So where are we getting to the problem? There was like this much steak, which is not enough for me. Okay. And three shrimp. And I was like, where's the rest of it? We can eat healthy. I'm right.

And I just straight up with it. The hors d'oeuvres were fine. Yeah. Yeah. We can't get to the meal. And she had it all nice and prepared and pretty. And I was like, that ain't going to work. I need, like, there's got to be more here.

Where's the second bowl? I went and found some more and re-did it all, and she was mad. And so then last night, she cooked some steaks and broccoli, and there was just an extra steak sitting there. And about two pounds extra of broccoli. And she was like, hey go, big boy, try and eat all that. I did. You had never made it at Tommy Robertson's house.

Uh-oh. What would Tommy? No, no. That's suffice to say. This is nothing against Nancy. Okay. That's just the way they were. Okay.

Because when you went and ate it, Tommy. Is Nancy Tommy's wife? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It ain't no seconds. No seconds? No.

Okay. She cooks just enough for, hey, you've got, you've got your portion. I've got my portion. However many is there, they got their portion, and there's nothing left. I'll say that wouldn't work for me. She'd have to make my place. J.D. is. J.

J.D. said, hey, look, the hors dors were fine. But, hey, look, bring on the meal. There's not a lot of leftovers at my. house. I'm very anti-Philip Millen. I'm going to eat what. So that would probably work. I'd be in better health if, well, no, no, because we cook less. Because that was the deal. Nancy and Tommy was always, it was a health thing. Oh, yeah, they stand as a rail. Yeah. Both of them. Yeah. Yeah. So, hey, you just tell me, oh, boy, that was really good. You know, is he any left? No. I've just glad. I only cook one portion for everybody. Now I know why Tommy looked at the guy was in the way he did during lunch.

Mm-hmm. No, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he was... Oh, anytime Tommy was here, if you got up to go back for a second, Tommy just glare at you the whole... Well, no, no. Because, hey, that's foreign to him. Because, hey, Nancy Cook,

you got one portion each, everybody. But Kay cook enough to feed an army. Well, no, no, hey, that's just... That's the difference in, uh, I guess, the hospitality. And you and Godwin sunk a boat because of that. Oh, hey, yeah. And I, yeah, that's right. I sunk a boat.

It was all their fault. too many hunts buns. Yeah. I sunk a boat. I clogged some arteries. Yeah. Oh yeah. I got up to about 320.

Yeah. We're all doing better now. That's another Robertson thing. First thing that happened is, okay, if something happens, assess plain. And it's never a Robertson. That's right. Which is why I feel. Who is the book is so spot on?

And don't point at none of the Robertson is. We didn't do it. I told Phil the other day. I said, you misnamed your book. And he said, what are you talking about? It's, what is it? I may be wrong, but. I don't think so.

But I doubt it. But I doubt it. I said it should be, I may be wrong, but I'm a Robertson. So, and then that should have been the name of the book. Because that is a true family trait. Look, I've been married to one for 20 years. She ain't ever been wrong. You know how many times I've heard the phrase I was wrong?

Never. Zero. Yeah. I couldn't be wrong. Look, it's bad. But I'm a Robertson. It's hard to be perfect. Instead of, but I doubt it, it should be, but I'm a Robertson.

I haven't read that one yet. But yeah, it's on Amazon, everybody. Yeah. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Why Jesus is your greatest hope? That just came out like a week ago. Yeah, he was up here doing a promo for it, and I told him he misnamed his book.

I could be wrong. And you know the response I got from him? He just gave me that little. That's how you know it's funny. Oh, yeah, that little. He just had that wry look on his face. Oh, wow. boy uh you know come think of i've never heard him say it jace my wife any of them they're not

going to my fault my fault no not gonna say that no they're gonna say well you shouldn't have you should have oh okay why because i i always get blamed for everything anyway oh yeah but i was the it was the one received i was a scapegoat for robertsman family what he says he put it on him he told jace that day i got tired tracks all up and down my back yeah hey he did. Boy, has been running over me your whole life. Yeah. I will say,

Stone, though, I'm glad you don't suffer from poor presentation anymore, because about once a month, your wife shows up here with a peanut butter pie for me, and I don't know what I've done to deserve it, but praise God. Oh,

I don't know. I'm like, why? She's making peanut butter pies. But I never get one. You don't have to. Okay. She's so sweet.

She don't have to say much. That's why I married it because she won't say much. No, no, hey, anytime I want, And she's a fine little happy. Hold on.

She is. Also, you don't get married for conversation. Yeah. Oh, gosh, my mind. Oh, boy. Oh, man. We, we, we, we, where are we? We right here in the duck call room.

That's where we're at. It's the proper calls. Oh, man, alive. What would we do without our girls? Oh, man. I'd starve. I'm like James Brown. Actually, I'd just.

This worth wouldn't be nothing without a woman or girl. That's right. Ain't that's true. Even if they are lippy. I'm telling you. You got a lippy one. I got a lippy one. Stone got anti-lippy.

Here's what I'll say about it. They both have almost or greater than 50 years of marriage behind them. So it is something, right? The only thing. The best one was I'd always hear couples arguing married couple and tell them, hey, you're sleeping on the couch tonight. You know how Christine was clanging around. one night and she said hey you're going to sleep on i said hey wrong answer young i said if

anybody's sleeping on the couch it ain't going to be yours truly i'm paying the bills i sleep on the couch a lot but it's voluntarily there may be somebody sleeping on the couch but it ain't going to be yours truly no i'll sleep on the couch and get brittany a night off from the baby monitor just so it's not in the room she can't i can't i can't I mean, I wake up when I hear them like cough or make a noise at night, but I don't wake up. I mean, I give it to the one eye, make sure everybody good, and then I'm right back to sleep.

If she hears anything at night, she'll wait. And then it takes her an hour to go back to sleep. She's one of them. Now, I can sleep through just about anything, but she's one that needs to stay in a little. That's just the difference between moms and dads. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. They're like, what?

You called. And then, like, now we got a. Did I tell you what I did with mine? The first one, I slept with my. my hand on her. Make sure she's breathing all night. The second one, put her in the next room. And when she'd cry, we'd wake up and go check. But then the third one would come along. Sage. I put her on the other side of the house. Lock the door to where I couldn't hear nothing. Grab a chain around it and double lock it.

That's it. And that's why she's a gray belt. Yeah. Yeah. And jiu-jitsu and keeping it real. Yeah. It'll hurt you. Oh, here. She's savage. No, hey, look, I have to give you a disclaimer here. All this talk, you hear me talking. I say yes ma'am a lot. Oh, I'm aware. Oh, yeah. And I think everybody that listens to this is aware too because they've seen enough of Christine in that chair right there

to know that when you're talking about this, your eyes should be brown. That's it. There's one thing people have figured out that Uncle Sy is full of bull. But he's a world-class. Oh, boy. He's a storyteller, boy. He's a storyteller. Everybody doesn't learn to not take you.

I keep everybody laughing. Everybody doesn't learn to not take you. overly serious. Yeah. You have a table, take you a little tablespoon. Especially wearing that shirt.

Yeah. I just noticed that shirt for the first time. Any man that will wear himself. And his nephews? Yeah. And Murray. Hey, I let people put a name tag on me just so I can look at it and know who I am. You keep reminding.

You get confused? Yeah, I get confused. Been the top 75 years. Oh, man. For real, though, that, that, why are you wearing a shirt with your face on it? It's a duck family treasure shirt. Well, y'all always talk about I wear the same clothes. So I said, well, let me change my t-shirt to another one.

The problem is. Well, it's not that you wear the same clothes. It's just whatever you wear on Monday, you're still wearing a lot of that. Well, what y'all don't know is, like, I've got five different sets of shirts, just got the same emblem on it. What about your drawers? You change your underwear? Oh, yeah.

I got 14 pair of Tommy Johnson. Laundry every two weeks. Hey, hey. Yeah. I change them daily. I would hope so. That shirt's so interesting because it's like they photoshopped 50 pounds off of Jeff and added it to Jace. Ah.

Look at Jace's face on that show. I mean, I'm not trying to be rude. Gase has been hanging without too much. No, Jason needs to. Jason's face don't look that round. Well, the problem with Jace is he's had some questionable hat choices in the past, you know. That's like, hey. needs to stick to the waxed hat and the in the beanie during hunting.

Boy, I actually put on my cowboy hat. Yeah. He makes, he wears a good. He looks good with a cowboy. I think Martin is talking about the fedora phase. And I'm also talking about that weird little cowboy hat he's got on right there. This got a band around it or something. It's an interesting look.

Hey, that's my cowboy hat. See? That's what he said. Hey, don't be talking bad about that. No, that's all. It looks good to cowboy hat. That's all hat, no cattle right there, buddy. Yeah.

I can tell you that right now. That's, there ain't. Ain't no cowboy, he said. No. Ain't no cow in that boy. Hey, Jason would make a decent cowboy. He's very good at chopping wood, very proficient. Yeah, he'd be good at supplies.

He is a good wood chopper. Yeah. And trapping. Supplies and trapping. Trapping, hunting, chopping wood. Oh, no, yeah. You need to get to tell him some of you. Poker.

He's trapping story. Yeah, he'd have been good with Doc Holliday's crew. Oh, yeah. Running a casino. Yeah, he'd have a fit out of him. Oh, yeah. Pilfering everybody with a casino. He does that to his uncle on the weekly.

Oh, I don't want to hear that. Wounds still a little fresh. He ain't a bad story seller himself. Oh, he's good. He can tell a story. All you Robertsons have the gift of embellishment. Hey, because according to him, he don't ever lose at poker. Or the stock market.

According to you, you've never lost it poker. No. No, he'll talk about it. No, I ain't never said that, sir. No, he's always lost. It just ain't ever his fault. That's the difference since. Didn't get the cards.

Didn't get the cards. Again. It's not, I was wrong. It was, they sucked out. It's always the same story. It's not I made a bad play. It's right. They sucked out.

No, I don't make a bad play. See? There you go. We back to that, we back to that not-admitting fault thing that they're so town-renowned for. I don't know if the world are now, but maybe we're telling everybody.

Oh, to think about it. As long as I've known, Jace, about what, 30 years or so. I've never seen him without a half. hat. He wears hat. Well, I don't think he's ever gotten a haircut. He did that one time for me and moo. Well, I know that right. And I didn't like it.

Wait, he's gotten one haircut in 30 years. Now, he'll put some hair dye on that beard. He'll take the gray hat of it. Really? You ain't ever seen. There's a shirt. There's a shirt. I saw him one day, I saw him one day after, like, the day of the coloring of the beard.

I was like, wait, what happened? He colors his beard? That changed color over there. Well, if Jay shaves, nobody would know it. No. He did it the one time. I'm going to see if I can find a picture. And I didn't like it.

And that was when he was at like the thinnest point of his life too. Yeah, he looked. He had been chopping a lot of wood. Yeah, he looked bizarre. The exercise he does. Yeah. Let me find. Yeah, he had a look about, oh, the picture of him beardless.

Yeah, it's worrisome. Yeah, I don't know. I try to, I've toyed one time or just like. You look like Charles Manson right there. Uh-oh. I'm pulling it up. Oh, sure. Hold on.

Oh, boy. I'm pulling it up. There it is. Oh, wow. That was like 30 minutes apart. Wow. What a life. Look at it.

He don't even look like the same guy. No. Man, how Tom Hanks did. I didn't even know him? Tom Hanks did it the opposite direction. I know. Yeah. I mean, it was all prosthetic, obviously.

Huh? No, he lost. Old Chop. No, I'm talking about the beard. No, I think it was real. What? Please don't tell me that was a fake beard. That's going to make me just sad.

Oh, he's looking like Harold Jean. Who's Harold Jean? My older brother. I'm almost positive that that was a fake beard. Yeah. Hunter's weird. He doesn't count. My hunter should know.

Like, he's the movie buff. That's why I brought him. I'm during a break. If we ever take one, I'm pulling it up. Look at him. Look at Jace without a beard. Oh. And look at Larry.

Look at his father-in-law back there. Making sure to document it, buddy. Larry's always quick to document. Oh, look, Larry had that on his Facebook in about five minutes. 100%. He was probably Facebook livin right there. Yeah. Oh, Larry.

He doesn't look as bad as I remember. I think it was just such a shock and different that it freaked me out. Yeah, well, now it's known, right? The first time you said it wasn't known, so then you kind of got adjusted to what it was. What was that TV show? Andy Griffith? He wouldn't. Does he look like Andy Griffith?

No. No. They look like Harold Jean Robertson. Uh-oh. Who's that? My older brother. Yeah. Oh.

Yeah. Looks a lot like him. That's Lulu's dad. Huh? Lulu's dad. Yeah. I think we should shave Sy's face. See what that looks like.

No. You don't want to do that. Why not? I'm ugly with a bit. No. Have you seen those pictures of Sai and Nam? Yeah. He was a good-looking man.

Yeah. So what's wrong with it? No, you don't want to do that. No. Why not? I've never seen. him without one and I don't want to see him without one. I bet the people want to see him without one.

No. I'm ugly with a beard. No, you're not. And then, hey, if you shave it, somebody whoop me with an ugly stick again, and I got uglier. No, I just... How do you know?

When was the last time you shaved your face? When I was in the military in 1993. Good, great. So, I should be better at math. So 31 years, you haven't been clean-shaven in 31 years. And look, I hadn't even shaved or a haircut, but one time since 1993. You trimmed it.

One time. And that was over in Texas. You'd look like the Oak Ridge boy. That was in Texas. No, his must just get to a point and stop. It stops. Mine keeps going. Yeah, mine gets length.

It doesn't get any more girth. It goes. Mine gets weird. The years get up to your eyes. you look like teen wolf or something. You got that high beard. And the longest I ever got was like almost in my belly, buddy. Hey, hey.

It was a weird look I had going on. I'm going to be honest. Vampire teeth. Do what now? It looked like Beckett. When I started here, we would shave like the day after duck season every time and then just kind of let it roll. But, I mean, it would have to be Duck Dynasty

because they wouldn't let us shave at all. Because we had to keep the, yeah, we had to keep the same look. What a great contract. If we had to reshoot anything or anything. or anything like that. So that's why my hair got all nappy and like, I mean, it was trash. Like, my hair was trashy.

Like, that's why I don't change clothes. Duck Dynasty did it. Because it was always telling me, hold it, we got to take a picture to make sure you're in the right costume. And I said, hey,

I'll fix that. Yeah. I will say in the height of Duck Dynasty, I'm just going to say it, we were not good looking men. No, trash. You know, I've started to figure.

things out, yeah. The reason why they're not doing this, they're not shaving, trimming their beard is because it takes effort. Uh-oh. See, now you don't,

you don't quit preaching and got the meddling there. I feel personally. Oh, no. I am convinced. Yose is charged. 100%. Yeah.

Be worse. I'm lazy. Yeah. No. Could you imagine spending like 20 minutes looking in a mirror every morning? But,

But if Phil had had hygiene, Duck Dynasty wouldn't exist. Duck Commander wouldn't exist if he would have had good hygiene. In other words, if he would have cut his hair and shaved his face, none of this ever happened. Phil rolled over in his grave. He saw what was happening around this office now.

We got flowers. We got flyer beds. Oh. We got people cleaning the hall. Oh, yeah. But he created that look. Yeah. It was a good look.

And it's an ambiance. It's what people expect. right and then they show up and everything's nice and neat and they're like wait hold on now you y'all faking this hey but but in i'm just saying in 2014 esk us three were really carrying the look pretty hard oh yeah terrible terrible and look my wife never said a word about it but she hated it the whole time oh mine didn't either till after it was gone then she was like my you better not ever let your hair do that again and i said and i said i didn't want my hair to do that in the first place I always kept my hair cut. I hated long hair.

And then they just, they let it, they made it keep going and going. I was like, you go to Trail of Deer or something, your hair get caught in the briars. You're like, no, this sucks. Like, this is, this is, this is, oh, wow. All right. Look at that. All right, gets under your shotgun. Yeah.

You know, that's one word comes to mind. Uh-oh. Pathetic. You could have been a whirlwolf man. That's what I told you. These teen ones, man. Yeah. Hold on.

Now, the only thing that ain't changed since then is your wardrobe. The same thing about the next two pictures you're going to put in. You could play. You could be the guy. You get me. Oh, I guess. Look, I know I was like wretched looking. Like, it ain't known.

Yeah, it's trash. Together, though, and we've lost a whole bunch of hair and probably. A person. A large human. Yeah, a person for sure. a slightly overweight person between the three of us. I'm looking for it. Stone's got way better pictures than most of us.

I found one of a stone the other day, or somebody sent it to me or something. I was like, I don't remember him being that chunky. Like his face was like out to here. Oh, no. He was up to what, 230? 235. 235.

By heaviest. The one of Stone is when he was in the episode and said, I married in. Married in. Oh, man. Yeah, it was, it was wild. But that was,

that's another thing that folks listened probably didn't know. That's a pretty good one of stone. Not as, yeah. Not as big as he was and not as much hair as the,

I married in chelky. Yeah. Pretty pathetic. Pretty pathetic. I remember when they said, we're done. And I was like, done.

They're like, yeah, done, done. I said, okay, I left right then and went and got a haircut. told the man i said put that half inch guard on that them clippers and just go around my head like i want

a half inch of hair that's all i want i'm pulling you got me one yeah the one that i remember like real bad's from the wedding oh yeah that's a good one that's from uh benelli presents duck commander there that was that was before duck dynasty oh that looks like uh my hair got worse believe it or not overweight uh Danny McBride i don't know who Danny McBride he's bound and down and down You know, but it's trashy. Oh, yeah, there you go. Yeah, my hair there was long, buddy. No, no, because all you pictures,

when we used to all stand together. Yeah. It was pretty. Well, it's like the one poster that we still sell in there from when Leachos took it, standing out in front of Mac Oans' house. Yeah. Leach's.

Like, not that one behind John David right now. He took up like 20 feet for us to know the pitcher. But I'm in the back, and it's just my face is twice this. I'm behind. hind y'all where you're supposed to look smaller and my face is twice size in and y'all like is but oh there it there it's oh that's the actual one that's the wrestling jay married in there it is right him yep that's it that's it that's when them boys jumped out of that deal naked basically just in their wrestling tights and it was about 20 degrees on the bank of that river that's all jim dug in the man oh i remember when they was in the

back of the truck yeah i said y'all probably are just freezing the dead. Oh, they were smuggling in them little smokies. Yeah. Good grief. Got them fighting tight on. Yeah. Anyways. Oh, that was a good one there.

Like a grub worm wearing a turtleneck. Oh, wow. Here we go. We just going to go down there. If you're wondering, oh, boy. Don't do it. Like a truck full of light switches.

Don't just completely let yourself go. No, it's hard to get back. Oh, yeah, maintain it. Maintenance is, uh, I think maintenance shows you care. That, that don't mean you can't have a beard, like for all, you know. I can grow great beard. But, you know, all that crap was going on because we felt like, oh, if you're going to fit in of this group, you just, you just got to let yourself go.

That's just the way we're going to look. Quit showering. The duck men. We all did it. And the motto was, we did it. And we thought it was the right thing to do. Well, not only that. We got paid to do it.

The older, but not before Duck Dynasty, you didn't. Well, I was still getting paid. Well. I mean, it wasn't much, but I still got to pay you. But we didn't get paid. Now, sometimes we'd have to hold it. But they never said, you've got to grow your hair out. Nope.

It was like, we did it on our own accord. We thought it was the right thing. And that's why we would shave, though. We would shave after duck season. But looking back on it, it was not the right thing to do. No. It was stupid. But everybody goes to that time in their life.

Empathetic. You know, 40 days and 40 nights. Just some of ours lasted for about eight years. When Willie was talking to me about the episode and if I wanted to do it, I was like, well, I didn't start looking like this for no reason. So I guess I might as well try. Here I am. Do it. Here I am, buddy.

Gonna be on TV. Fat and disgusting. Empathetic. Hair everywhere. Yeah. That was so much hair. I look like. Everybody called me that dude from Harry Potter.

Hunter, we're going to need help. Hagrid. That looks like the guy. I look just like that. The wizard. The wizard. What was his name? But here's a problem.

I've been thinking it this whole time. Here's the problem with Johnny D. though. You held on a little longer than the rest of us did. I got started later. I was like, hey, bro. Just go get a hair. Well, that goes back to that key word.

Lazy. And then he would, then he would cut his own hair once a year. I still do that. Do you really? cut my own hair. I do it twice of year now. Well, look, why don't you just go get your hair cut? I can do it.

Trim your beard nice and neat. You do it? Your wife would. Look at me. Love it. He said, look at me. This is a nice and neat beard. Oh, man.

With normal hair. I had a hair. Well, I mean, he got a lot of hair. It's hard screw his hair. He's got a thick. Because even if you gap it, you ain't ever going to notice. I mean, he got so much of it. I got lots of hair and I wear a hat every day.

Yeah. But I did think about. But you held on to the long. look there. A little longer. Really cut my beard the first time. Yeah. It was hilarious.

Yeah, I remember that. I remember getting them videos. In the back of the restaurant. Yeah. It was... Safe to say his new assistant don't have that much fun in the bag of a restaurant anymore.

Can't get random haircuts. We had that intern and Willie said, Hammy, it was the intern's name. Go get me my scissors. Here we go. Oh, Hamilton. Yeah. What a guy.

Amy. It was definitely. Well, let's take a break before we get in that inbox and we'll be back out after this. Anyways, hey, I got a good email. Adam from Ohio emails in. Hello at duckcallroom.com, by the way. I've had people sending me messages saying they didn't know where to email me. So just in case. In case you don't know, hello at duck callroom.com.

I've read most of them. I missed like a week ago. I got to go back and read those. But I've read the ones from today. And Adam from Ohio emails in, was it, who was talking the other day about smoking sections in restaurants. Was it us? It had to be us.

Yeah. He said having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a pool. And that's all the email says, but it got me out of them. That's pretty good. That got me laughing. Wait, there it in one? Oh, no, no, I'm sorry. Martin, do you pee in pools?

No, I don't pee in the pools, but I do pee in the ocean. Well, yeah. Or the lake. Yeah, or the lake. Or the pond. Or the shower. Yeah. If you see me in water about waist deep, you can pretty much rest assured what I'm doing.

There's a reason I got up and walked out there because the walk to the water was shorter than the one back to the restroom. Of course, we've lost like a couple of bathrooms here at the office the last couple of weeks. Yeah, what's the deal? I don't know. All my old stomping grounds are just like boarded up. They're new. They're different. That's because it's trashy.

We're changing a look around here. I'm telling you. I got to come back and slop this place up. Well, don't, hey, don't worry about it. If they caught me on camera out there peeing behind my truck because all the bathrooms were taking, I mean, I had to pee, and I couldn't wait. Hunter's in there, Bogart in the bathroom, I guess. I don't know.

Hunter, what are you doing? I don't know. Hunter, in and out, it's a wild one. Why do people go to the bathroom and listen to stuff on their phone with a volume on? Now I know you're just gross. Well, at least. Not looking at me. That's not me doing that.

No, I'm just asking because I think it's your generation. It's not mine. You're weird, I'll get some headphones. Are people doing that here? Yes. People are sitting on the toilet. Scrubing through reels or something. And listening to things?

I hear video play. My dad does it too. See, look. You just saw Beth say, that's true. I don't know. I don't go in there with them. I mean. No, I ain't going to sit there and judge them either.

She's not denied. Now she's denied. I was staring at Brittany for a while. She's denied. No, Brittany's never here. Like, she swaps. Oh. Oh.

We ain't from around here. So maybe that's part of it. That's true. But it is, it's wild. But I'm just glad Beth confirmed. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's picked up on this disturbing trend. Let me know and I'll go knock. In the old days, people read newspaper while they're on the pot.

Now they just sit on their phones and do, who knows what they're doing. And that's why hymroids are. Oh, they're probably in their text. Yeah. We had to sign in our guest bathroom for a while. Let's say if you're out of toilet paper, just text us. You know you're on, we know you're on your phone. Like, you know.

Like, it's not a, you know, not a huge deal, but. Hey, you need to put another sign up. Please, no, uh, photos. No photo. Yeah. No photos. Yeah. No selfies.

No selfies. Don't send any selfies. In the bathroom? Yeah. Who's doing that? Well, hey, look. You? Who knows?

You get on, you get on a pot? I don't text our tweets. I'm going to say, you spend more time in the bathroom than any of us. So. Not a living. You been there about nine times. If you worked here right now, you'd be miserable. You'd have a trail beat out to the parking lot to go take a little.

I'd have me a little hideaway where I could take it now, but I ain't know, be miserable. No, I'm talking about taking a leak. It's hard to find an open bathroom around here now. No. He did have hideaways. There you go. I digress. Forrest from Illinois emails in, and I normally don't do these because he's just asking for a shout-out.

And then he said their earliest dates of him and his lady friend, Julia, who he's wanting to give a shout-out. who he's wanting to give a shout out to was eating frozen pizza, which is sinful, and watching Duck Dynasty, which is a good thing. So I was like, eh. But she is a NICU nurse that got me back in, so thank you for that. And they just got engaged.

Oh, okay. After apparently jogging up a mountain, they got engaged. But they listen to every episode. So shout out to Forrest and Julia, even though you eat frozen pizza. Where are they at? I don't know. I haven't been there in a while,

but Illinois sure has changed. Yeah, that's right. Where are they at right there? Not living. I think he took her to Arizona to do that. Okay. I saw the cacti about what is, what's wrong with the frozen pizza? It's just, it's the bottom of the pizza food chain.

I would tell them, hey, put it in the microwave and throw it out and then eat it up. I don't think they're eating it frozen. Like, I believe they're cooking it. Well, hey, they're eating frozen pizza. I'm just, I'm just taking what they said. I love frozen pizza. I mean, I use, I don't eat them. I use them as a base.

That's where I start. And then by the time I get done with it, it doesn't look like a frozen pizza. You cheese, deer sausage. All of it. Yeah. Crumbled up bacon. See, I'm lazy when it comes to

shaving my face and taking care of. But a pizza, I'll go. But you'll make the end. I'll go to the ends of the earth for a good pizza. All right, Kenny from Worcester, Ohio. First off, Kenny, emails go like this. You put a small subject line,

and then you put everything you want in the email. Kenny can't do that. Kenny's one of many fans who do this and put everything he wants to say in the subject line. But it was an interesting question. Do you know how many emails I get that are just paragraphs of a subject line?

Yeah, that's because I know the emails. And I used to get them whenever I was Willie's assistant. I would get, hey, I want Willie to come to my birthday party and blah, blah, blah. And it was like paragraphs. As a guy who still oversees customer service at dot commander.com, I see them, please. Yeah, just subject line short. then go knock your heart out and the rest of it.

Anyway, Kenny has a question that nobody's asked yet, and he's really curious about our response. What was it like before we started the duck call room? Were we nervous to start it, or was there any doubt in our minds that it wouldn't work? He said wouldn't pan out. He really enjoys it, and he just wanted to know what we were thinking when we started it. What did you think would happen, Sire?

Well, they came to me and said, you need to do a podcast. And my question was, why? Hey, look, here's what I tell you. My honest thoughts on this. I thought it would work because we got to man, right? Duh.

I never dreamed we'd be 300 and something in. Still without any kind of script, timeline, follow through. We just get in here. And I think it's pretty evident that we just, yeah, there you go. There it is. that we just get in here and kind of spitball it and figure it out on every one of them,

which I think is kind of a draw to us versus a scripted kind of. Here's what we're going to do. You never know. Yeah. Which if you're looking for that and organization, we got one for us, called on a shame. Like they got all the stuff. I got the topics.

Yeah. But we're just winging it. We're winging it. But, you know, it's a different deal, though. We remind people to laugh at themselves. I just never would have figured we could make it this far. doing that. Why not?

Huh? Why not? Because we're not near as active as we used to be. When I say active, I mean like going across the country and running into like different stories and experiences. Our lives have drastically shifted. Like, I mean, for crying out loud, I got kids now. Johnny D.

doesn't even work here anymore. That's weird. I worked here when this story. That's what I'm saying. Like, and you, you've been happily retired. And I've never worked. Yeah. Well.

And I don't plan to ever start. I ain't ever said that. Look, you may, hey, when you were here building a ridge, they were the best reeds we ever had. Well, hey, look.

No, no, I did standardize the read race. I'll give you credit where credits do. But here's the thing. Why would you hire a bunch of people? Okay, the writers and all this stuff

to write a script when they're going to hand it to me, I'm going to read it, roll it up and thought it in the trash can, and then do what I always do. Just take off. Oh, I'm not even saying a script. I'm just talking about a general outline.

We don't have that. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it would be funny. And, but I thought after 50 we're toast. Yeah. Like, we'll do it once a week and people enjoy it. And a year in, it'll be like, hey, that was fun. Yeah, when we went to two a week, I was like, no chance.

This baby going to flame out faster than Haley's Comet, buddy. Like, we ain't going to make it. That thing still hasn't flamed out. I'm talking about when it enters the atmosphere one day. I think it's still going. Oh, yeah, it's still trucking out there somewhere. Just like Sae. Yeah, still trucking.

Stone's always been positive. What did you think, Stone? Oh, well, look, I'm with you. As long as Si is sitting in that chair. We'd be all right. There's a chance. There's a good chance, better than a good chair. Yeah, we got a glimpse of that when he was in the hospital.

Like, what in the world are we going to do? Oh, yeah. When he got COVID, we were all sitting around staring at each other. That was the funniest thing. When you got COVID was not funny. We were all terrified. Now that I've gone through it. you know, okay?

Yeah. Speaking of a closer child. That man comes to my house, I'm in bed. And he said, oh man, you need to get out of bed. I'll pick to take you to the hospital. I said, Stone, the last thing I want to do, and he said, put some clothes on. I said, the last thing I want to do is get out of bed,

put my clothes on, and go anywhere. He said, hey, you got two choices. I fixed to pick you up, oh, you over my shoulder, and take you in the hospital in your undies. Or you get out and get dressed because I fix to take you to the hospital. I looked up at him and he just kind of had this real blank stare on his face talking about hey

you got about two minutes this what I was reading is mine oh well send us out of here that's right but hey we do appreciate what episode is this hunter I have no idea 323 323 if you would have I can confirm for Godwin McMillan if you would have asked this will you be doing this

at 323 tries later, the answer would be no chance. So we appreciate all you listening and tuning in, subscribing, like. I was wrong. It's 33. Comment.

Hunter, you have literally one job. And it is to put a number. I'm just kidding. Hunter does a great. And we wouldn't be here without Hunter. And we do love Hunter. Thanks. We've gotten to know Hunter and we love him to death.

And he still didn't bring me no breakfast. Deadgum it. Ceddonnerful. But he has a girlfriend. But he has a girlfriend. Are you serious? Oh. Don't don't know this.

Hey, everything's going fine. It's going to go on his love life. He's going to take her to Jen's indoor swimming pool next. Uh-oh. We, okay, no, Google it. Next episode. Next episode. But if you're wondering how we've made it this far,

I believe this verse sums it up because there's no way us six could have ever done it. Proverbs 163, commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. We said we were going to try and just be happy and joyful and sprinkle in Jesus. and it kind of works. There you are. And here we are. Look at there.

Ain't it just a bummer to sit around and laugh for an hour? That sucks, right? We should nitpick. Yeah. Talk about the bad parts of life. We're out. We'll see you next time right here. Take Jesus everywhere you go.
