Duck Call Room - Godwin Finds Comfort in a Women's Product & He's Not Ashamed

Episode Date: July 31, 2025

Uncle Si and the boys get emotional sharing a goosebump-worthy story about a friend overcoming stage-4 cancer after Si and Phillip prayed for him. Godwin gets a little too comfortable with a pillow meant for pregnant women, sparking jokes about his future shopping plans. Martin horrifies Si by revealing a childhood scarred by a recipe the boys find questionable at best. Phillip experiments with AI, hilariously bringing back Phil Robertson—but something’s not quite right. Plus, the guys announce exciting Duck Commander events, including the return of Duck Commander Sunday and another chance to see “The Blind” in theaters. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Oh, this is comfy. I can say why them women like these things. What in the world are we doing? I don't know. It was really good. Look, how you got days laying back? I tell you made the noise. That was really good.

Oh, it's good. It's going on. Smooth, boy, smooth. What are we talking about? You are all fired up. Oh, no, I am. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

He's fired up. What I do? You didn't do nothing? Okay, good. Look at Godwin. Godwin's ready for anything. We're going to go unashamed for a few minutes. Okay.

Welcome back to the unashamed duck call room. All right. Hey, look, we got a video we want you all to watch. Oh, okay. Uh-oh. All right, we'll put it up there, Felipe. You got it. Time out.

Before we get started for the people watching on YouTube, how old is this video? This is four years ago in July. Yeah. Exactly four years ago. I got a glycer. I know. That's why I was curious. I was like,

And that shirt looks fairly new. This type of thing happens a lot. Where did I do that? In my house? Yeah, that's it. That's your table. Okay, that's your house. That's that red wall behind you.

All right. Here we go. Hey, Chad, Uncle's out here. Hey, look, I heard that you're a duck hunter, man. $1,500 ain't nothing to sneeze that, dude. You need to tell me about what kind of duck hole you got. Flooded timber, rice fields. What, you know.

Hey, next time we go there, maybe he can take us on. Yeah. Yeah. But, hey, look, I heard you got diagnosed with a counselor man. Hey, look, me and Philip will take you into the throne room, the Almighty, and mint your name personally to the Almighty and ask him to, you know, keep it down to a minimum of me, get rid of it if he wants to.

He can use the doctors or he can just do it his way. Okay, but we will be praying for you, ma'am. Yeah. Best wishes. Now, show the picture. That's Chad. Okay. Stage four cancer.

Uh-huh. All right. Now, fast forward four years. There's Chad and his wife. He's cancer-free. Look at there. Yeah. Man, that's awesome.

Amen. Because here's the deal. I always, when I'm out, I tell people, I said, you know, the father, the son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, okay, there's three of them. They're not real to you. That's why you don't follow the son. This is the reason, okay, the Robertson's. family has seen this over and over and over again. Yo, and look, you know who gets the glory on all this?

The Trinity. Father, son, and Holy Spirit. Amen, buddy. That's awesome. No, no, yeah. And couldn't ask for a better guy. And, you know, he's watching this. There you go.

Put his phone number up here, Philip. That's good. Hey, y'all all calling. Hey. If y'all want to talk to Chad, it's 918. No, no, we are going to call him. Okay. I just, I'm going to call him to remind him, hey, don't forget what God has done for you.

Oh, I thought you were going to say you needed your 1,500. I didn't even know what that 1,500 was. So, Chad, Chad, he does a little guiding, you know, and they've been killing some ducks. I didn't know Chad, but somebody who knew Chad knew me and said, hey, can you get Uncle Si to say a prayer for Chad, you know? and he was going through cancer. Really tough time in his life. And so we called him and started talking to him

and just built a relationship with him. And we got to meet him for the first time while we were in Tulsa, Oklahoma this last weekend. And he's just an amazing person. He started his own business. He gives all credit and glory to God. Him and his wife are doing great. It's just one of those stories where, you know,

It's better than any of us deserve. And that's the thing. When we go and pray for people, we never know what's going to happen. Because all we did was say is a prayer. Okay. And then I think it's so cool that fast forward, I go up and to visit friends in Oklahoma.

He's there. He knows my friends. Okay. And then I get to know the man that I said a prayer for. And guess what? God and his wisdom and love and power, it's gone. That's awesome.

That's why people need to know this, okay? I just curious what kind it was. I'm first going to show you right here. There you go. I'll let you look at that. Oh, okay. Yeah, and when somebody asks you to pray for them, I mean, that's the least you can do,

but it's also the most you can do. You know, because God is the one that's going to provide. He's, you know, the great physician. And so when me and Siah finished, we didn't really talk about it because it's just emotional for you. It's hard when you, I mean,

human, my flesh, it has me thinking the worst at all times. You know what I mean? I don't know that he's going to be healed. And sometimes it doesn't happen the way I want it to. So I try not to get all caught up in it. But man, when I saw him, I'm telling you, I, oh, matter of fact, The duck car room shirt, the black duck car room shirt that I usually wear in here, he wanted it.

He was like, man, I love a shirt like that. I said, I don't know if we got any at the store, but you can have this one. I took my shirt off and gave it. I put in the wash between the washing, of course. You know, I'd trade him for a chicken pot pie or something. Pie. That wouldn't surprise. Did you come back with a hamburger in you?

Hey, I can't get nothing over on these boys. Godwin helped me out. I'd love to give you that for. Oh, man. That's awesome, man. Well, like you said, you never, and healing doesn't always fit our definition of healing, right? Like, healing can mean a lot of things. Like, it doesn't mean that you're healed on this earth. So, like, when you say those prayers, you don't ever know what it means. Is it, you're suffering here's over? Is it, you know, so I mean, that's, that's kind of the, we all want

it to be just like he got, right? Cancer free, everything's fine, but that some of it is the other way. And that's okay too. Like, you know, even though we don't understand it and it doesn't make sense on a lot of it, it's... Because people need to know. But prayer works, man. Yeah.

They need to know. He's there and he's listening. Yeah. Okay. And like, you know, I'll bring it in him and make it, you know, if you don't know Jesus, you need to know him today. Because look at New York. This guy's mentally ill.

comes in with an M16 fully loaded with 30 rounds and kills four people. You're not promised the next minute. You always think this ain't going to happen to me. That happens everybody else. Hey, I'm here to tell you it can happen to you. Okay, because I'm just, yo, prayer is a powerful thing, y'all, and I've had people actually pray for me.

Okay, and when they say it, I said, oh, I'll be honored if you'd do it. Uh-huh. Because you're fixing to walk in the throne room of the Almighty and mention them Cy Robertson's name. Amen, buddy. Well, hey, that means something to me. Amen.

Okay, and like right now, my hair on my body, stand up, chills, bump, Joe. Do you need a pillow? No. Hey, we got one. Oh, God, I got to fight John. I got it. Oh, I got enough for the both of us. So is this, Galvin, I got to know, is this what retirement looks like?

Absolutely. Comfort. I'm in the comfort now. That's why I look. That's why I tell John all the time, I pray for his daughter, who is pregnant with twins. Oh, Alex, Alex brought this. This is one of them pillars. It runs down all the way to the floor. That thing right there puts you in a chokehold. She's got a bad shoulder, so it's for her shoulder. Oh, good night. And then it goes down like a big snake curls up. I'll be back in a minute.

he'll be asleep before I'll have to wake him up to get him to say something. You need that to travel. I'm talking about the sun, though. Why can't Monday lift Sunday? Uh-oh. Wait a minute. Repeat that? Why can't Monday lift Sunday?

I have no idea. Because it's a weekday. That's a weekday. It's a weekday. I've missed you, guys. I'm glad. I'm glad it's too. hot for people to want to go fishing.

You just come up here every day now. I want to go fishing. Every day. Every day. I know, but I like it when you're up here. It's way better. It feels like the old time. Oh, better.

Well, I'm going to give Chad a quick call, and I'm going to let you talk to him. I know you wanted to say something to him. 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 Triedales beef makes such a good

product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, 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 Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales 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, 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'll 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 Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a She doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah.

Just go to tribeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Hello. Dad, how you doing? What's up? Good. How are you, brother? Hey, look, we're doing a podcast.

We told your story. Hey, Jeff. And then I just wanted to call you and tell you as a reminder, do not forget what the Trinity, the Father's, son and holy spirit done for you. Amen, brother. Never will. Yep.

That's what I wanted to tell you, my man. Love you. All right. Love you too, Sam. Hey, Chad. Godwin and Martin are in here, and we talked about your story and put your picture up. We actually played the video that, uh, that me and Cy sent to you. That's awesome.

And so awesome story. I got to scroll through Phillips text message. So how, how bad did Cy beat you in poker, Chad? boy he did not beat me that's what he said I got a picture to prove it I said you brought that up me and him was a big winner

we split the pot yeah that's what I would have said don't ever give me your phone to scroll through your text messages I'll go further than I should so it's all good Phillips learning a valuable lesson right now That's right.

No, no, I don't even mind. Well, Chad, I appreciate you letting me tell your story on the air. Yes, sir. Okay, and like we said, you know, you said it that, hey, you gave God all the glory. Well, hey, we do the same thing every day. Amen. So, Chad, what do you want our fans? What do you want these guys to know about your story?

Man, I think the biggest thing is just never, never give up hope, never, never, stopped believing. I was on death's door many, many times through that process. And I had people praying for me constantly. And I just, I never gave up. And I just wanted to point people to Jesus through it. So hopefully that can inspire somebody that's going through it. You know, stage four cancer is nothing to shake a stick at.

But he got me through it. Well, that's the, I don't know the scripture, but it says, hey, you know, with man, you have limitations, but with the almighty. everything is possible. Yeah. That's right. There you go. Oh, that's awesome.

I saw. Hey, you have an awesome story and it has a, the end of it has not been written yet. But it has a, it has an awesome right now, the presently. Oh,

we're just in the beginning of this. Yeah. It's wonderful. Eternity, eternity a long time, man. That's right. I don't even know if we threw the first chapter yet, you know.

I got dog collars for them. Oh. We wear dog collars around our ankles. Just around your ankles? What about the ones that get on your hands? I don't get them. Well, your ankles and hands aren't that far away from each other either. And they like the rest of them.

Oh, good grief. Hey, it worked. I thought them loggers used up everything. Oh, for sugar? Yeah, no red bugs and no ticks. Oh, man. Wow. Pretty awesome.

That's pretty nice. Technology has best, boys. Well, I will say, man, that is a really cool. That's awesome, man. That's cool. Praise reports never get old, right? I tell you. And that's the earthly answer we all hope for, but, you know, sometimes the answer is different.

You just got to take the answer for what it is. Well, no, no, because, hey, he answers all the prayers. They're all answered. Okay. You may just, you may not. I like the answer. It may not be your ads. We don't understand what he understands.

Yeah. Well, but we don't know the big picture either. No, heck no. That's why, you know, when I finally get to heaven. Let me guess. You're going to take two years off. Well, no, no, I'm going to take a couple years off just to go and see the rest of what God created. I know. Well, I'm telling you, we don't see but just a snippet of it.

I'll tell you, retirement suits you, so you ought to have fun. I'm telling you. You know, no, I told Al, I said, well, you're going to take a month off. And I'll say, hey, you can take a longer time. You know, you're talking about eternity here. Two things. Yeah, don't get a rush. You can take a longer time and you don't have to get started right away.

Yeah. Because either way, I'm going to travel, okay, I ain't on any old plane, boys. Yeah. He's flogping. Super side. I know. Just float. Can you imagine what is.

I can't even imagine what it looks like. I mean, he just spoke the earth didn't do exist. I mean, I've seen beautiful mountains, beautiful ocean. Oh, well, you told me. But he said, I'm going to prepare you a place. That's right. Can you imagine? No, yeah.

It's one of my favorite points you've ever made. I don't remember the first time you made it in my presence, but I have never forgotten it. I haven't either, John. That's pretty powerful. Yeah, that's cool, man. Because we don't have no ideal. Mm-mm. Okay.

because, you know, my short 77 years on this earth, I've looked at all the beauty that God created. Mm-hmm. You know. There's 77? Yeah. And there's no wonder, okay, what else? Y'all, and look, here's the thing.

Nothing he created is without purpose. Except for maybe that mosquito. No? No, no, we can't figure out. We got to find out. I can't figure out why he's here, but he's got a purpose. Or of them things that caused God, one to wear dog collars on his legs.

Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. What eats them? I'm going, I'm going to, I get to him on that, but I'm going to ask Noah, why did you put them in there? Oh, like snake. No, not even snakes. Oh, hey, dog, you got to ask, why would you put snakes?

At least a snake is white meat. Like, you don't get nothing out of a ticker of a mosquito. Talking about that. Big cats love snakes. Cats love snakes. Oh, yeah, they like that. play them. Oh,

they like eating them though. Oh, I know, but you got to imagine like if you're a cat, like your cat loves to sit there and pat things around. Yeah.

So if you're a wild cat, you still love that too. Yeah. And that snake, he's the perfect thing for patting around once you go out. Well, I just thought, you know,

I knew bobcat's eight, eight snake because we kill a cotton mouth all the time and hey, we'll leave it laying where it lay. And then you come back, y'all hour later, it's gone.

That's possums. No, I ain't on possum. Cat. and then I look because the other day I was flipping through the channels and hit a Naster's channel Oh thank God You had to Fox News?

Yeah. Yeah. Because he, y'all, it wasn't a laugh. Oh, it wasn't a laugh. It's a hiss. He's looking like a gas for breath. Look at his eyes look. And look at,

oh, no. I've seen that look a lot. Now, I've seen that look a lot. I've seen sign look like that at the end of the hands. I was talking about you, and we had some fish over there. But he still got them big fans at this place. And the coastlaw, I don't know about this cold slaw.

I said, Si makes the best coldslaw I ever eat. And I tried it. It was good. It wasn't yours, but it was eatable. But it wasn't yours.

Well, there ain't one of what I make. It was Mrs. Christine. She makes good coldslaw. Better than you? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I didn't make. She's the one who trained him.

Yeah, I agree. I don't know why. Yeah, I'm out on coldslaw. Oh, no. Oh, I like it. Take a bunch of cabbage and them. I like that.

That, and then like you don't like cucumbers. Oh, I love cucumbers, buddy. Well, you don't like... I don't like sweet pickles. Yeah. Like bread and butter. Anything outside of deal? Oh, I bet you you'd eat her.

What about a coach? Yeah, Christine, I bet you'd eat it. She'd make them homemade? Oh, yeah, it's homemade. Like... And I mean, it's a rigorous routine she goes to. Oh, yeah, my grandma used to do that. Got all that stuff up.

Then she's got to put ice on it. And it's got to be ice for an hour or two. And about 72 pounds of sugars. Oh, yeah, well, yeah. Yeah. And then they boil the vinegar. It's got vinegar and it's got these little seeds. I don't know what the seeds are.

Oh, yeah. But it's thousands of them things. Uh-huh. Okay. Look, the key to it is you can't over cook it. Yeah. No, look, that's one of the core memories of my childhood. Okay.

Was your grandmother? Yeah. Every time I'd show up to stay with them during the summer or something, and she's making pickles. I just wanted to throw up. You didn't eat nothing? It was the smell that vinegar that was boiling. I ain't much on vinegar.

Oh, no, no, no. It just, it got in like the sheets. It got like in your clothes. Like, you just left there smelling like old vinegar. No, no, it's just like smoke. If you're around anybody in the room with smoke, you're going to go home smelling like a cigarette. Yeah, yeah.

Well, that's why bread, butterpickles are. Yeah. But hey, here's how much I love them. She cooked them, y'all, and she's always got, you know, she'll fill up whatever the jars a whole. Uh-huh. She's always got a bowl left over. Okay, and it's full of the ingredients plus the cucumbers

and port bell pepper, onions, and all that good stuff. Yeah. Well, I ate all that, and it was a full bowl. I mean, a big bowl. And then I drank all the juice and ate all these little feet. That's what it takes to get to 70s, I'm going to 60. They don't get dehydrated.

I love it. Look, Mabaw, and it reminds me even kind of a you and that I don't, y'all probably had one too. It was a Tupperware pickle container that you dump your pickles in and had this little deal, you like pick it up. So all the pickles sat in the bottom of juice, but you pick it up you didn't have to fool with a juice. And it's made by Tupperware like that big, green.

And I knew when that thing, the only good thing I knew. When that thing come out to refrigerator, we was about to eat fried fish. Because Mavon Pappel wasn't having fish than pickles, them homemade, crispy pickles. I knew that the next thing I was going to smell was peanut

oil and the fried daddy, and we was about to eat some crappies. Well, no, no, because you just said it that what's the key to it? You can't, you let it bubble just a couple of bubbles and then you pour it up, put it in the jars. You know, they come out of the oven hot and the leaves. She had like a big curing jar. It was like is big have like 27 pounds of pickles.

Yeah. And it's sitting there for like two hours. Yep. And then she take them out of there and go into the can and then the, you know, or the mason jar. And the boiling water on the stove. Yep. I hated that day. Oh, I love it. During the summertime.

I hated that day. I love it because the next thing I'm going to do is, hey, she's going to have that bowl left over with the ingredients and I'm going to eat all that and drink all the juice. I sat on the porch with Papa while he smoked his pipe. I'd rather smell that smoke. I said, I can't handle this. Get out of here. Yeah, I couldn't.

But that's what they did that every year. They grew a whole row of cucumber. Oh, yeah. Just to make pickles for the rest of the year, you know, like. Well, that's like okrae. People that like ok? Oh, bud. I like it.

I've been eating it for two. I don't know. It's a lot of grow that. No. Oh, man. The peas and ochre, you know, both of them things love the heat. So now they're just, it's everything. mom picking them twice a day right now.

Oh, yeah. And she even got the boys shelling them already. Hey, that's what I'm talking about. They ain't even three. They'll be selling peas. They won't eat one. They'll shell one. They'll shell one.

They know how to shell it. Keep them busy. But they, oh, man, peas with some of that fresh ochre thrown off in there? No, no. And then some tomatoes. Big fresh tomato cut up and salt and pepper. Yep. Yeah, we got plenty of them.

You have, yeah. I just want them peels and och. Bring the tomatoes, Martin. I bring you some miters if you need some. or mom give you some. Bring some of them tornadoes up there. I'll take them. How long as you eat a piece of ochre?

That's going to be my tag. I ain't going to eat no. I'll go to the farmers. I like it in beans. So we just. Ocar? Paula likes them. I like it however you do it.

I like it. I like it anyway. Sambage sandwich. Oh, yeah. That was a good. Everybody said, he loved. Pepper.

How do you eat them slimy time? She loves. And I said, oh, they got a good taste. I might better go by and get her one today. What's that? Tomatoes? Oh, you mayonnaise made her salmon? .

Poor man. That's what we called them growing up. That's why I have an irrational hate for mayonnaise. I like bacon and mater sandwich. I do too. Lattice on it, tomatoes and bacon and peanut butter on one side. Oh, wait, what would? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, why? No, you got it with the peanut butter. Daddy's one that started out in our family. Yeah, that's the field. You think it don't go. At the first time, I was like, it goes together real good. I tasted it and I'm like, yeah.

Okay. So you don't have mayo on it. It's just, yeah. Yeah. No, no. Panette's on one side of the bread. Peanut butter on nut. Yeah.

Do you like it? Then fill it bacon, lettuce, tomato. Okay. Well, let me rephrase that. Mine had peanut butter on both sides of it. Yeah. Forget the mayonnaise. Yeah.

But what you're thinking was my thinking the first time. Now, ain't no way. But I said the curiosity. got me. Oh, it goes. Try it. Oh, yeah, Phil. I'm about peanut butter and baking goes together.

Yeah, Phil made them, and he'd take that bacon straight from that skillet and right onto the peanut butter. So it, like, melted the peanut butter. It was so good. It was, but he'd always try to slap that mayonnaise bread on it. It's like, hey, hey, uh-uh, uh-uh, stop right. I'll have mine open. No, I'll do the other side.

I'll have mine open things. I'll put me another layer of peanut butter. Hey, you do? No, Mark did. You got to have a no thank you portion. of mayonnaise. I had plenty of that growing up. I just did.

Bacon and lettuce, tomatoes, I think it's kind of like you, we had to eat so many them poor man sandwiches, mayonnaise and mators. I was like, I'm off this, man.

I can't, I can't get off of it. I can't, I can't get back on. I really like salad dressing. Oh, I know, he's a thousand.

Ailer man from way. Yeah, that's two of them. Yeah. You eat that stuff in the jar called sandwich bread too, don't you? you see now it's got like the pickles cut up in it no but i've seen it

that was the date i might try what was it we had when we had our own smoke house oh yeah you know and mom said hey i'm out of bacon what do you do to make a smoke house you'll go out of the smokehouse and you'll get you a big slab you know oh i'm talking about this this long and about just white and you take that big old sharp butcher knife and a thick or thin either way and then start frying up. How do you make a smoke out? Huh? How do you make them?

All this was just a little old log cabin, small log cabin when we built the fire inside it, you know. Yeah. And then just, it's smoke. And then just hung it. Everything, you hung everything up. So if I was going to smoke a deer ham,

I just had the ham all. Don't do nothing else to it. Nope. Don't do nothing but hang it up in there. You all have a hook, then hang it up. yeah that's that's how we're doing that's how people do ham's pork ham you got to do something with some salt in there at some point well i don't know you have i don't know at what level that is i'm not

i don't either i'm a i'm more of a back porch smoker you smoke it you let it rest then you eat yeah but i don't know about leaving it for long term i don't know nothing about that well you got to have like you're talking about salt salt and yeah you got to cure it and then you got to smoke it or something. I don't know which order that goes. It's a little bit of both. Yeah. You put salt on it like you would a rub if you put salt on it. Yeah, there's an art to it. I think, I mean, like, you know, here, Mamma and Papua, right? Now, I don't know nothing about this, but like, it was like the gardeners would trade the smokers. So there were people that were skilled at gardening. And they would trade vegetables for smoked meat. Like,

that's how they did it growing up. And that ma'amon them were the gardeners. Like, they grew everything. Well, we lived in the log cabin. It was the hails, the Hobbes and the Robbersons, and they all three, they went in threes on everything. Yeah. Buy a couple of cows. Yeah.

Okay, buy a couple of pigs. And come wintertime when it was time to, you know, get your meat, you know, slaughter the cow, cut it up, everything. Everybody got a quarter, quarter of it. Yeah. Everybody got their own little piece and moved on. That's a little piece, y'all. And everybody's involved in cutting up the meat and all this, you know, killing and all that.

Yeah, back in the day when humans took care of each other. Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing they work together. They work together and started using each other to get to the next level. Yeah. They're stabbing each other in the back. Yeah, back in them days. My wife's been on these figs.

We got a big fig tree and she's made jelly and preserved. Yeah, fig preserve, man, they're good. No, no. They're good. I can eat a quart of them. Yeah, fig preserve. Good. Throw that on a biscuit.

Oh, yeah. I don't even need the biscuit. I don't even need the biscuit. Oh, really? Hey, in the mouth. There's something about throwing that on a hot biscuit, too, that's really good. We need to be. Yeah, I've done it, but I just don't eat the fix.

Yeah. It's cold. We're going to have to start bringing something to eat in here. Yeah, we are. We're going to start talking about food. Because we always talk about food. And I got a vine growing in the trees behind my mom's house that's got all these berries on it. And I was asking sigh, because I wasn't sure what.

Musky dine? It's musky dine. Yeah. And they are everywhere. Oh, yeah. It's a good year for them. Yeah. We got two vines that we have on runners at the house.

The deer have already started coming up there. Oh, no, yeah. I'm like, all right now. I fix it. Don't. That bow don't mean no noise. All right now. Yeah, yeah.

They costing me 100 pounds of corn a week right now to keep them away from the musketine. So, yeah. But I get it. It's the mama's trying to take care of the babies. So that's fine, too, you know. I mean. But them are really good. Okay, and you can make preserves out of them out of the holes.

Or you can just eat him. Yeah, or you can just eat. And they get ripe around squirrels season of time. Yeah. So I always had, in the woods, y'all had a tree that had vines on it. I'd go in and pick me out of just a pocketful. We got a bunch of them up there at the deer camp.

Yeah. And we got them things. I ain't never looked for them, but they, them boys find them more rails. Oh, mushroom? Yeah, in the spring. Mm-hmm. I ain't never had them.

They're good. You just fry. like fish. Yeah, pretty much. Same thing like you're doing for you. Yeah, you don't, but you don't have to deep fry them. You can pan fry them and butter.

What? And they're great. Mushroom. They're a Morel mushroom, a wild grow mushroom. What does it look like? Not the white ones, are they?

No, it's kind of, it looks kind of like a sponge almost. Yeah, like a bunch of holes. Oh, that's one that looks like a, what's it? Let me see. A butter.

A pancake. Looks like a pancake. Yeah, you can. Yeah. Looks like a pancake. It's pancake. colored. They kind of rough around the edges.

He's an interesting looking. No, I think you're thinking about like chicken of the woods or something. This is one of your time. I know all the wild mushroom. Chicken has a lot. Well, some of these things are poisonous.

So you've got to know what you're doing. Some of them make you see some really pretty colors too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay, I got you. Yeah. All right. Yeah,

that's the only thing about fungus, man. One bite of the wrong one, and you're in a bind. Yeah. There's a fungus among us. Yeah. Really get with somebody that knows what they're doing and talking about and all the things with them. Yeah.

But no, those things are good. Yeah. They're springtime, eat them when fish are spawning. I need to look for them up there. You go stomping around. You'll find them all in one area. They grow in like little groves. Yeah.

And you can remember where that is and they'll kind of always be there somewhere. So I'm sure all the people don't found them and got them marked. Oh, yeah. You'll have to be there the day they come up. Yeah. Yeah. They're big money, man. People sell them things.

Really? Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's wild. The, uh, no, but hey, careful when you get to picking the musky dyes. Now, you eat too many of them. You have your little belly issue if you ain't careful. Them thing, them loosen the lower bowels if you, if you, if you go too heavy, if you go too

heavy on them, don't ask me how I know. It's always a moderation. Everything in moderation. Yeah. And I never did. I never did pull it off. No, I was finished saying,

so I don't know it when it comes to stuff like that. I was at two streaks to the outhouse. Oh, no, no, make it, you know. Yeah.

Well, I ate them until I get sick. You know, I mean, like he said, it's a good colon cleanser. Let's put it that way. I just,

your colon, it'll clean out everything between your upper intestines and, and your throat and your Achilles tendon. Like, I mean, it'll, it'll get it all if you go too heavy. Some years, these things get like big.

Yeah. They've got plenty of water. Yeah, this year they look good. Because all the real wet spring we had, I guess, they look really good this year. So you just keep the other critters off of them. Oh, yeah. That's the hard part. I mean, because they, deer love them, like you said.

Deer, squirrels, everything. Yeah. Coons. Oh, yeah. They all love them, man. So you can spit that seed a country mild too that's up in the middle of it. I mean, he's perfect for spitting. Hold on all. What's the trick in, and, and, and, you know,

getting them before everything else does. I mean, because you want them pick them ripe, correct? Yeah, you get, we always pick about the time they start changing colors. So they'll go from green to like a kind of a brown before they even get to purple. And somewhere in between that brown, maroon, before they go all the way purple. Because once they go purple, everything in God's creation will descend upon them. Birds, yeah. And I learned that with the figs.

I was familiar with the figs. We put nets up on the fig tree, and it kept some of the birds out, but not all of them. No, no. It was a fight for the fish. They're just doing what they're here for. They're doing the same thing. You got to share all that stuff, man. I mean, you've got to like it.

Yeah, you ain't got much choice. Yeah, you might as well. Might as well share. That's one of the fantastic fruits is figs. Because he starts with F or? I don't know. Fantastic fig fruit. It's just good.

Fantastic fig fruit. Yeah, you better be careful on that one. Oh, sire. Yeah. Pissimins are like the other thing. Pesamins. You got to watch which one you get. Oh, no.

Oklahoma has got the biggest persimilons I've ever seen. I mean, they size that bill. Oh, that must be them Japanese. You ain't been down in the corner of the dog. No, we went up there to a lodge and honey quail. Yeah. Okay, and they've got just, it's like a, grove of Pissima's trees.

And I mean, they're ever like 100 yards. Here's a little grove of 10. Here's another, just all over that property and them suckers were, look like a large. Yeah. Big old thing. I think that's... Oh, yeah. I ain't. All I ain't.

Things are better. No, no. They ain't better. You got get them right. You got to get them a little soft. Oh, no. You get them that ain't ripe. You tell them it park her up. Oh, that's a tough thing. I know. You will.

It'll pull your lips just good grief. You couldn't even spit. No. But you're talking about good. He can't spit. That's another thing that everything's loves. It's Pissimus. Yeah, they're like in Pertamia.

Dan down at Phil's house, come back and said, hey, I just seen a black monkey with a white face up in the Psymetry. He did not. No, he did. He told you that? No, no, he told him. Oh, everybody.

We was looking, so me and Stowe went by there one afternoon going to deer hunting. Y'all looked up here and I said, hey, there's that monkey that Dan said, there's a big old possum. He was black and had a white face. We got to get him in here one day. Oh, yeah. We got to get Dan Butler. He wasn't talking.

Would he not? He might talk. I think he'd be all right. You know, he's... Put some bars up in here and make him climb on he'll do that. I'm glad you brought Phil up because it. There's a couple of things coming back up that I want to let everybody know about. One, the blind is going to be back in theaters.

Let me make sure that I get this date right via an email. No, they go on. So tickets go on sell August the 1st. We got that other thing going on. So August the 1st, you can buy your tickets to the blind. It'll be back in theaters again to be released between August 31st and September the 4th. August 1st, you can get tickets for that. and we're going to a throwback of something that we used to do all the time prior to Duck Dynasty for the most part.

Then we all got really busy. But when I first started here, Duck Commander Sunday was a big thing that we had at Whitesbury Road. And it was basically a good excuse to get everybody to wear camouflage to church. Which they already did. Which they already did. Most of them did. But it was a way to get people that may not necessarily come to the church to come. because they got fed and they got to wear their camouflage.

They didn't have to wear church clothes, so to speak. So it was always a really cool deal with lessons taught by everybody, right? There was generally always at that time, Phil would bring home the message, the home message. But like classes were talked by Sy, Jace, Willie, Gobwin. All of us had something to do with that day at church. Well, we're bringing that back. And this time we are doing it right here at Duck Commander.

So we're going to start that morning off with a worship service. I believe we're saying right now 10 a.m. we're going to start with worship. And then Jace is going to do a message right there. She's just like a standard Sunday morning service, just but not in a church building that's going to be in the parking lot here at Duck Commander. And then following that service going throughout the day, we will have other activities.

We're going to do a Duck Call Room live at the thing. So you'll be able to see all of us out on stage doing things. Well, you know, we'll obviously sit and sign, meet and greet all the good things there. You know, and we'll be taking questions from the fan. It won't be like a normal podcast, be more like a heavily moderated Q&A, really. But so we'll all be there. And everybody will be doing something different. I think there's going to be a duck call contest.

There's going to be food trucks. Oh, it's going to be fun. It's going to be custom, like how to build duck call classes. And then you can get custom engraved duck calls on site. And so all kinds of cool things. But really just a celebration of fun. fill and the legacy that he built that is duck commander and uh you know we decided what better place to have it than right here at home base so if y'all are free august the 31st we encourage you to

come on out we know that's labor day weekend some of you may already have plans and and we hate we'll miss you but some of you may have been looking for something to do labor day weekend and yeah we want to invite you to come here come hang out hear the word here several times and hear it from different people man and um yeah it's going to be a lot of fun So that's kind of what's coming up on the Duck Commander radar after this. Kind of a weird week, Johnny D's out. I know some of y'all are probably super thankful. And that's fine.

You know, you know, but he'll be back next week, having the family are at Disney. And by all accounts via my text messages are having just a well of a time. So good for them. Everybody needs a vacation. But no, it's been kind of a fun week. And we got a lot of cool things coming up here before duck season,

before duck season gets rolling and four hunting season gets rolling. So we got all kinds of events and activities. That's just around the corner too. That's just around the corner. It's hard to believe we're staring down August, right? Today's July 30th. So today is my mother's 71st birthday. Happy birthday.

She got rewarded with keeping my kids today for her birthday. Happy birthday, mom. Which couldn't have been a very, a better present. Happy birthday, Mom. And no, uh-oh, what's Godwin doing? Well, Godwin sent me this text, this picture. Yeah. And I can't remember her name, but.

But I'm offended because when I zoomed in on it, it says, I hate Philip McMillan. How nasty everything. Well, hey. Clay, he hates you too. Well, look. She's a redhead son. Hey.

Her state ain't a big fan of you. John, where'd this happen? I was in Tyler, Texas. That is in Tyler, Texas. Me and God, I remember, she was there for mine, too. I remember seeing her. Yeah. And then, oh, did you say this?

What a shirt. I made to send this to you. Is this the girl that's got my picture on her shirt? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I can't wait to see that. So this girl is, oh, man, I can't remember her name. I'd have to go back and look. but she is my self-proclaimed biggest fan,

and she had a T-shirt on, because this is the second year I've done this event, and she had a T-shirt on with a picture of me and her from the first year. And then so we took the same picture again, and she was going to get another T-shirt. There she is. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's me and her.

The sad part, you won't know the saddest part of that whole picture? I was legitimately wearing the exact same thing. same hat, same shirt, same pants. Like all that was like, yes, I was like, oh man, I got to get out for it, man. I really got to diversify here. Legitimately the exact, the only thing different was my sunglasses because I go through a lot more sunglasses and I do bridges and church. But yeah, my sunglasses were the only thing. That was a good deal.

That was pretty big. Awesome, would it? Yeah, it's fun, man, that you can have an outdoor expo that every hour there's a seminar on Jesus. man it was uh yeah it was a lot of fun uh that guy who puts it on things names tom ain't that right yeah tom has been super successful in a lot of other walks of life and wanted to give back so he puts on a free a free deal for the community big hunting expo fishing expo and then has a bunch of people from the hunting and fishing world come in and share their testimonies about jesus yeah i was clay gan is a crappie fisherman fished a lot of tournaments and come to i knew him from

fishing, you know. But I didn't know he was a Christian. He was speaking. And the more I got to talking to him, he lived across the street from Tommy. Oh, Tommy Roberts? Yeah. Oh, really?

Okay. And hunted with him when they hunted up there and played golf with him. I met. There's a lot of people there that knew two-gun Tommy. Oh, man. Did you know Phil's brother? I said, you're going to have to be more specific. Yeah.

I mean, I obviously. There's seven of them. I obviously work with one of them. every day. And then, you know, and he's like, no, he had one that lived here.

I was like, two gun, Tommy. Yeah, that's what. One what? Every, that was his famous line.

One what? Hey, Tommy, can you pass me that lighter? One what? Yeah. I mean, it didn't matter what you, what you asked him.

Give me a shotgun. It was one what. Yeah. Give me a shotgun. Oh, but no. Always, he called me one time.

He said, you got my jacket. No, no. He always went away with somebody's close. He had mine. Yeah, he was a big believer, and it's better to receive than give. But by receive, I mean, just take. If you didn't claim it within 10 minutes of getting back to the house,

that must be mine. That's got to be mine. When he left, he left with something. Yeah, he did the same thing to me. He said, a jacket I got is a two-ex, so you must have a large. I said, Tommy, I just don't have a jacket anymore. I didn't see of yours. I didn't take nobody's jacket. Yeah. Well, speaking of testimonies, in October, we're going back to Wisconsin for the Hunt for Life event. And us four went last year. That's great. I never got to hear Godwin give his testimony until then.

And I'm telling you, it was so powerful. And then I also got to hear Martin give his testimony. And you've heard me say this before. But man, if y'all get a chance to go see these guys, wherever they're going, I'm just saying you need to go and do that. Yeah, I got a lot more of them coming up. It's kind of weird. I know it's like they go down and then they go. Yeah, you have a little dry spell.

I say dry spell. I don't dry spell, but you go through a little time. You're like, well, maybe that part of my life's over, you know. And the next thing you know, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, like, okay, maybe not. Yeah, you all quit speaking in about two years. Yeah. And 10 years later, we're still going.

Yeah, here we are. No, yeah, I've got. It's a, I think it's, the door had was opened and, and for sure now we got to continue what Phil started. We just got to keep going. Oh, amen. Well, a good story never gets old. It's the greatest story ever told.

It's the greatest story ever told. It's the greatest story ever told. And everybody's story is unique to them. Yeah. That's what's so cool about it. And the coolest part is, though, it's all his story. Yeah. It's unique to each and every person, but it's all his.

Which is what's incredible. Yeah, the original is the best. Yeah. Okay. Well, the original is the one that enables, jures. So it's like without the original, there is no yours. Pretty wild. It's a crazy thing to think. Yeah, and how we're all connected through it. Like it's just, man, it's cool. It's one of the actual, it's one of the cool things about being human. There's some, there's some not so cool parts of it,

too, you know, because you see the other side out there too. But, you know, you get all this stuff and you get all these messages and stuff. People are so kind to us, like in our comments and all the things for the most part about listening and changing and doing all the things, man. Just we appreciate it. We read them. And we even read you negative ones too. So fire them back. They're kind of funny sometimes.

Some of you are clever. Some of you're downright hateful. But, you know, the clever ones, my hat's off to you. I really like y'all. I like, I like clever. Clever's fun. I like, those are the ones I'll generally engage with just to see if we can have some fun. But no, man, we thank y'all.

We'll be hitting the road more. But even before we hit the road too hard. Come celebrate with us August the 31st. That's going to be fun. Be right here at Home Base. You know, we understand parking will be an issue, but the fine folks at Academy Sports are letting us use that end of their parking lot too.

So if we have overflow, we'll have buses. We'll transport everybody that we can and make sure that everybody can do cool things. So hopefully y'all come celebrate with us. Enjoy. Does anybody have a verse off their head that they won't go? I do have one. Well, go ahead, Phil.

I was just thinking about Romans 116 that the gospel is the power for everyone. I better read it. I'm not ashamed. I'm not ashamed of the gospel for in it is the power for everyone who believes. Is that right, John? Close. What is it, John? I was going to look at it.

Look at it. I will look at it. Romans 116 says this. You need to hold it? No. Be quiet, Martin. I know you can read it for there. For I am not ashamed of the God.

gospel because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel, a righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as written, the righteous will live by faith. Romans 116 and 17. Yeah, that's awesome. Ain't that something? Greatest story after that. Greatest story ever told, man. You know what I say after? We'll see. next time right here in the duck call room. Bye. Bye.
