Duck Call Room - It's PAYBACK Time for What Jase Robertson Did to Willie Robertson!

Episode Date: April 20, 2023

Uncle Si LOVES him some karaoke — did you know he sang with Billy Ray Cyrus at the Grand Ole Opry? We have video! Martin and John-David are in disbelief that Si was deemed the best-dressed man in all of Nashville, and Stone talks about his new turtle relocation job for Willie, which basically means putting all the turtles in John-David's pond instead. Stone and Martin have a great idea for a good prank to pull on Jase — a little payback for all the "poaching" Jase has done in Willie's pond over the years. Si thought he saw John-David's dad, "Big Dave," on the side of the road, but John-David has a few issues with Si's sighting. Martin and Si disagree on what to tell a fan about staying at his current job or going for a better one where he can see a girl he likes. And the boys all weigh in on what "being a man" means — even if you're not a "a big, angry lumberjack fueled with diesel testosterone."  -- Learn more about your ad choices.

I had a mud hole in my yard that just cost me 15 grand. What? Wait a minute. Oh, yeah. Write the name of this person down. No, no. Give it to me. Because I've got about three foot of concrete, about eight foot wide.

Oh, yeah. You probably got a pretty good deal. You got a good deal. Well, that mud hole was, there's concrete there now where I just pull that brand new pickup right at the door and step out and step on the That's what I'm talking about. Si, 15 years ago, you think you'd have money for concrete at your house? Hey. You still driving that black, that black Ford Bronco?

Oh, yeah. I'd have to stop picking up by half time on the way down the field. Everybody that went down to the field and pulled me in. Now you're writing checks for 15 grand for brand new concrete out in front of my triple white. You know you've made it when there's a mud hole. Oh, yeah. And the solution's just concrete. Yeah, just fill it up.

Poor concrete. Yeah, don't worry about it. It could have won 50 grand. Oh, okay. Yeah. But I said, no, 50. I ain't give you no $50,000 for a stupid bunch of concrete. Well, you getting a new driveway?

Well, that would have been off the complete circle. 50? It wasn't 50 or 25. I still pretty good. But I still wasn't going to go that high. I said, now I'll do 15. I got 15. Yeah, I got 15.

25? Oh, that's too much. Yeah. 25? No, that's too. Too much. It's too steep. I remember that old Bronco.

He used to put more old. than he did gas. He never changed the oil. No, no. He changed the filter. I don't know what it is about coming in cars. I bought one when I was in the military. Oh,

I'm very well aware of what it is. It had two major problems. You? It blew a lot of oil out. Okay. And then the second thing was the distributor, you know, you got a camp shelf that rotates in your distributor.

Yeah. That it's got high points, about eight high points. that makes your firing open and closed. Well, as soon as my engine was so hot, it would melt that. It melted that as soon as you put it in there. So my points on my car did not open a close.

They just stayed shut, and it would run like a scholarly day. I think you probably answered a lot of your own question right there. Well, but I will, because when I went home, Well, I got out of the military and retired the first time. Yeah. Okay. And got married.

See, I got out of the military and then three days I got out from one day, four-year contract, and then I signed one for a lifetime. With Miss Christine. With Miss Christine. And look, we threw everything we owned in that Plymouth I had with a 383 and a hearse transmission, four, five on the floor. Yeah, and it would run. But anyway, I would stop and tell them, hey, just put a little bit of gas in it.

Let me check the oil. I said, hey, by the way, have you got anything real, real thick? What's that junk they put in? It's in a tube. Feels coffee. Well, no, it's some kind of oil. Grease. But it's some kind of grease.

So I said, how much is this? You know, and they said, oh, $7 and something. I said, well, hey, give me two tubes of that. and then one quarter of wall, 40 weight. Well, I'd actually put two tubes of grease in the engine plus a quarter of wall. And why didn't it work? And they're driving another 500 miles. And hey, they were still good to go.

What you, Robertson's got against scheduled maintenance? Oh, no, look, I do everything and all that now. And then when it stopped working, he said, a piece of junk. This piece of junk is right. Then you get rid of it. Now that he can afford to fix it. it he's going to take care of it that makes a lot of sense when you couldn't let's just run it to the day you never could afford to do it before that's right well now he's got little lights that come on

and tell him when they go get the oil chase yeah otherwise he used to depend on the thing's got all the bells and whistle i'm going down the highway he used to wait for that first cylinder to start knocking for he knew he needed an old change oh no i'm going down the highway and this thing starts easing over to the right well get out of the middle of the road and i'm i'm like this and it's still he's like whoa whoa and i don't remember who was with me but he just said i i take it you don't like that i said no he just raced over and taps up on the screen and then it can hey i don't want the truck taking over driving oh look they got them now you can watch a movie on that screen you push that button that truck could drive itself now now and why are you watching the movie

no taking that whatever you're going to do it's like right now they're trying to make electric planes runs on the battery. Uh-uh. Yeah. Isn't they like a Will Smith movie about why all this is a very bad idea? Maybe it was Tom Cruise. No, no, I'm just telling you. Somebody's...

Robots turns. It was on TV, something about, hey, they're trying to get planes that run on batteries. And I said, well, hey, when that happens, my flying days are over. Oh, no. I ain't getting on a plane. It runs on the battery. because you're talking about a rip-off. Batteries the biggest rip-off there is.

Yeah. It ain't double A's, but I'm with you. I ain't getting on no test level. I ain't getting on a plane. But I have noticed that batteries don't like the cold. When you get up there about 30,000 feet, it gets cold. I get pretty chilly. I hadn't stuck my head out the window, but they tell me it's cold.

Yeah, I look at that little screen on there, and it says minus 32 degrees. So, I mean, batteries and cold don't really go together. But, you know, they'll get it figured out. allegedly. Si had a birthday party. That was a good time, and it was a good part. How old are you now,

Sa, 75, three quarters of a century. 75. My favorite part, I was late because I got off work. I knew this. And I pull up at 615 and the karaoke is going

full blast at 615. I said, that's how you know he's 75. We started this thing early. Yeah, they sang happy birthday at 5 after 6. That's right. yeah yeah in case you wanted to make it home by the time 60 minutes started yeah yeah there you go i mean i pulled up and it what song were you at one point you were

singing purple rain no i didn't sing that one well i was i was out in the audience so no he sang david allen co or something i heard that one yeah from a quarter mile away i Darling, darling. Yeah. You are a karaoke. And it was. That's a good song because it says, well,

he's wrote my friend, Steve Goodman, has wrote the perfect country's western song. And then I had to tell him. No, you didn't write the perfect Western song. I didn't say nothing about mama. Because you didn't talk about mama.

Or train. Our train. Our beer. Or getting drunk. Are getting drunk. Or prison. So, hey,

we sat down and rolled another verse. And we come home. so it was we finally wrote a good perfect song got run over yeah i think it starts out it was all like a dude to keep from crying i think that's the first time i've ever listened to that song in daylight yeah oh i was gonna

normally a sunset or only yeah look i was supposed to meet him in indiana david allen co david allen co i bet y'all had got the long Oh, no, no. He was on, okay.

Well, he was on Saturday night, and I don't know who the guy that run the venue, but he put David and Island Cole and a rapper on the same stage. On the same ticket. Jay Z? On the same venue. Okay, so, hey, Saturday night was when they was on. There were shots fired.

That police were called. People were arrested, and then they counseled, my show the next day. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, you know, they got rid of that. Family friendly night, it got canned. Yeah, they got over that. Were you playing music at this show in theory?

Oh, yeah, yeah. That was when I had my band. Yeah. Me and the psychotics. So you use a daytime act. Yeah. He was an opener for the opener. Late, late evening.

He was that little bitty print down there on the bottom of that poster. David Allen Co. Uncle Simon's Psycho. They probably just a briefie. at US and S or something like that. The U.S. They're probably running. They're probably running that.

But anyway, they counsel the next day show. I plead to fit. Because of the problem. That was in Indiana? That's tight, man. You performed at a place that got, had a shooting. Oh, no. Look, hey, this old crazy old man has been on the grand old opera three times.

Who, you? Yeah. Oh, I thought you talked about David Allen. Oh, I don't know. You had me confused when you said crazy old man. Yeah, 50 coin. Well, he's that, too. I was like, man, I figured he'd have played there more than three times.

I had to have. So I always go with Billy Ray. Yeah. Oh, and I did. I'd be up there, Billy Ray Cyrus. Who did? Singing some gave all on the operas stage. Have you seen that?

No. You need to. That sounds phenomenal. I was with Billy Ray Cyrus. Yeah. Singing some gave all holding an American flag up there, Saiva. Oh, that's right, an old opera. We got to find that video.

Yeah. Ain't nothing more American than that. Don't get any better. Man, I'm here to do. Found it. Told you. Told you. Well, let's take a break if we'll come back.

Well, we can all play seven seconds of it because we'll get shut down. 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. It's 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 Tritales 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 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 ribbyes 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 Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. You ain't a big meat, these are folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash.

That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. There's really very serious. Yeah, here we go. Watch sigh real quick. All right, here we go. Start the segment. We got seven seconds. Cy, you are big time beyond all belief, man.

Hey, look, I was voted the best drenched man. You ain't got to hit play. Just look at that on the left side of that screen. Yeah. If that doesn't say America, I don't know what does. So you're saying that says America. It ain't happening anywhere else, sir. In the history of time, ain't nobody else getting on a stage like that with a mullet.

Look how far away she is. Look at the look she's got. She ain't sure about it. And to think he's born mildly. You know? Oh, boy. I'm just, it's wild, man. Anyways

Just goes to show you I'm living proof that God is alive and well Boy and has a sense of humor So was that jacket I was once said The best dressed man in Nashville Because of that jacket Don't talk about my jacket

For like a 10 minute period No When he was up there when we was having interviews All the stars were there That day do you notice i said all of the stars i did and you were best dress and he was i won best dressed that that week that's why they did sharp dress man they were talking about that's why i

That's what they start the music. And everybody knew, uh-oh, he's fixed to come on stage, boys. Is it weird that when I hear that song now, I just like shaking my head. I can't listen to it in its entirety.

Oh, Brittany, it's going to mute off, change the station, whatever, as quick as it is. I'm like that song. That song pays for about 80% of all what we got around here. So you better. Hey, she was a nice rig. She's grabbing around. Yeah, just got to turn it down. You ain't got to change.

You just turn it down. Yeah, that's Anthem. What are you talking about? It ain't got to do nothing with Mr. Billy Gibbons, a friend of Verit Clapton. That's what his business card says. Is it? I kept it. I have won of Billy Gibbons.

That's what it said on his business card? He handed me a business card, and it said, Billy Gibbons, friend of Eric Clapton. And it has his legitimate cell phone number. I had to know. I didn't, I never called it because I thought I'd get blocked her. Oh, I did because they were playing at Boisier. at horseshoe one night and I said let me text him just see an old man text

yeah they were off they got a fair and did their thing I was like man these boys been doing this for a long time and they looked like they still legitimately enjoyed it oh they do that was wild that was a good time. Man, those were kind of the days.

They weren't the days. I got two kids now. I can't say that. Those are the days. These are the days of the nights. These are the days. Yeah. Going back to that David Allen Coast.

Uh-oh. You're right. You said you never heard it before dark. Oh, yeah. I don't think I've ever heard it when I wasn't doing something that I was not supposed to be doing. Well, I was kind of hinting at that with the dark and the daylight. Be fair, though. That's why they counseled the show.

Because, hey, he stayed in trouble, David out of cold it. He wrote some, I mean, raunchy songs back in the 60s. Very own brand for him. I'd have heard that song at a minor league hockey game, though, before. Oh, yeah. The moccasins would play out all the time. Only in Monroe, Louisiana. And everybody would yell by that darned old train all together.

I can't help it. Can't help it. Got ruined, don't. Never mind. You got to do it. Oh, man, a lot. Long as you will that. Tell it.

Look at it, boys. What else we got? Oh. You've been moving duck blinds? Yeah. Yeah, well, we got a lot. I was saying we got a lot of water in the area right now, River. There's water ever.

It's up. So Phil gets all antsy. He gets excited when he gets to about 40 foot in Monroe, because you know what that means. I move the duck blinds. Yeah. We can move the duck lines. Gotta have a high water to move him duck blinds, boys.

But one of his favorite things to do is to put a man in front of the boat and running through the brush wide open. Like a battering ram. Yeah, he loves it. He loves it. During duck season, I just lay down because I know what's fixing to happen. Oh, that's the best way to be. Get in the bottom of the boat.

I messed up and have my. my back to the front of the boat. Bad move. And I saw him grin a little bit. And then next thing I know, I'm engulfed in the button willis. You hear just scarred me up like I got in a fight with a wildcat. And he laughed and smiled. I said, well, you know, I'm glad he enjoyed it.

Oh, he used to have, he used to have aluminum boats that had a big U in the front of it, where he just center the cypress tree. Oh, yeah. The U is backwards. Backward, yeah. Oh, yeah. Them trees ain't got a lot of give. No.

Oh, I wish we would have had it filmed. It took us two years, okay, to get big cypress logs out of Shinnahe Lake. Okay, high water came up, and the people on the bridge, Now the water is about that far from the bottom of the bridge. And Phil had timed it just right where just the motor could just barely. It actually was scraping the concrete.

So he ran from the river all the way up, Sheney Creek? Oh, no. We put in at Shini. Found the logs. Oh, and then come back down the river. Tie them together. One that, you know, tie them end to end. man, at about all 15.

That's a rough creek, man. I've went up that thing all the way to 33. Oh, no, no, no. Look, it took us. That's why it took us two years. We got them halfway down it before the water got too low. We couldn't move them anymore. So he just tied them up.

Well, the next year or two years later, it came up again and got higher enough. And look, and you're doing this in reverse. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Otherwise, you sing. Hey, and I'm running up. You torpedo that thing.

Yeah, I'm running up and down the logs floating, pushing them off of trees, you know, jumping over cotton mouth that's on the logs. Yeah, yeah, we're laying there sleeping going down. We finally made to the river. We're laying there sleeping because it's been a daylight. It's a dark deal. We're sleeping, and I feel something just go by me, you know, on top of you. And I looked like that.

It's a cotton mouth. Ooh. And now he's crawling over Phil's chest. And I feel out of cotton, you know. He. Do him out in the river. So I've heard this story a thousand times. How long did it take y'all to get from Schenny Lake to the river?

All good reef. It was on the creek for like three days. I believe it. I ran up to 33 one time. That's maybe the halfway point. Yeah. And it took me almost a day to get to 33. Oh, no, no, no.

It took about three days. Maybe even longer. But it took us two years in that. Hey, the water's high and we're coming on the north of the property, on Fields property. Well, there's a bridge over there, and he's got to go in front of that bridge. And we got like 12 flogues end to end. We got to get this. through there and I said you're never gonna make that because it was just just roaring

and you could see the guard the end of the bridge guard the water was going over it I said you're never gonna make that fell he said we have to if we don't get past there don't have a choice yeah and the last last one hit it and hung up a minute and then it's just too too much current it yanked it just cut scrape upon the part of the wood of and then we eased on the property and he tied him up where he thinks he was going to put his blind well you know what the cool cool part is we still hunt on them logs wow that was my grandkids be hunting on that was oh 30 years ago oh i guarantee you you know what he's doing right now he wakes up every morning and goes down there to the point and looks up

river as far as he can see and look down river as far as he can see it and look down river as far as he can see And if there's a Cypress log or a piece of iron bomb within eyesight. Oh, yeah. He's going to get it. Red, we got to go. Yeah. And there they go. And they're going to go get it.

And they're going to tie it up somewhere. Our boat house at the land where we put a boat. Okay. That was in flood stage. Yeah. It's coming down the river. He went out there, hooked on to it, pulled it in on Cypress Creek, tied it up, put it up, put a deal in the newspaper.

I've got a boat down. dock at my property tied up you got two weeks to reclaim it or hey it's mine that the rule on that oh there one year there hey look one year he went out there like you were talking about he's mowed along just kind of looking and there is all kinds of two by sixes two befores four befores i mean it was just looked like it come out of the meal lumber yard yeah It's just a pile of it. So we spent half a day on that.

Chasing boy up and down the river. Just running up down the river, getting a bunch of them tied together and dragging them to the creek. Hey, when we work down there still, if something come floating by, it was stop what you doing. Salvage.

Forget duck calls, forget. Forget duck calls, forget it all. Get in that boat in the boat house and go get it. Yeah, move. Yeah. I mean, it was a lot. We have picked up so much crap. Oh,

and there's a lot of critters that live on that styrofoam. Oh. Because that styrofoam used to be under somebody's boat dock. That's it. So you can imagine, like, I mean, there's spiders as big as your hand. And of course, me, I'm like, no, don't put that thing in here. Like, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. Throw it over in the boat.

Yeah. So say what? And Phil take it and hit it. And if it stays solid, he said, yeah, we get that. And if it broke, he said, no, right, let it go. That's right. There's just. Push it off.

All to not pay. All to say. John, that stuff is expensive. What are you talking about? How much was that concrete? 15 grand. You know how much styrofoam we could buy for 15 grand? Yeah.

Oh, yeah, you can float this house on it. It's expensive, oh, baby. All right, well, let's take another break. We'll be back right. Yeah, that Jones is expensive. So I got a project I've been working on. It is a... I'm interested.

A... turtle relocation project. Hey, what? Turtle relocation project. Roll that clock. Red-eared sliders. Yeah. Red-eared sliders.

I'm working on a project where I'm transferring the turtles out of Willie's pond and putting them into Jason's pond. Also known as John Davis. Also known as. We got a lot of turtles in my pod. Well, you fixed to have a lot more. I don't put 87 in there as of yesterday. You caught 87 turtles.

Me and Bullfrog. 87 turtles. I moved to Johnny Dees and Jason's pond over. Gar hole. You know they go just back in the hole. Well, it'll take them a long time. Now, if that starts, we might have to resort.

I told him start clipping a toe on them so he could keep up with it. Put tags on. See how quick they make it back. What if you just painted their shell, Chartreuse or something? Well, it'll sluff off. But if you just go back and just clip a toe

He'll be fine. You'll be able to keep, you'll be able to see. Speaking of the clip of them, yeah, you had to get, you have to do something else if they start coming back. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you, hey. You should have right in the crop. They back and forth to these ponds. 22 goes along way.

The reason being Willie, Willie wants a. Total free pond. No. He wants a pond with nothing but trophy size pan fish. Panfish? He said forget the bass. Oh, he's out. He doesn't want, he didn't even worry about the bass.

He wants something he can eat. Yeah, okay. So he wants big brim, blue gills. We put it. What he really wants. What, what he really wants is something he can catch. Ooh!

He doesn't got to matter! What are you trying to say there, CEO? Yeah. Are you trying to say he ain't very much of a fisherman? Oh, he's a heck of a paying fisherman. I've been there with him. I'll see any. He's a heck of a paying fisherman.

hand pole and a pile of mud he will turn it in some brim. Yeah, there you go. Oh, hey, that's right, that guy that lived right above, Phil, that's got that pond. Oh, the judge? Yeah. Him and Jason,

and they caught every, every panfish in that pond, that little pond he got. Who did? Willie and Jason. Mostly, Willie, probably. Oh, I think he's a grim, first nightmare. Jayce is the worst pawn poster I've ever met.

He's doing the same thing to Willie's pond. Hey. Boy, like, hey, look, he's got a woman and kids that love to eat fish. He ain't got, we ain't all have a kid no more. Well, hey, they come in to visit there once in a while. When he does, hey, that's what, that's what they eat, fish. Yeah, they're empty nesters now. But now, uh, the reason being, because we got five fish feeders that go off three times a day.

There's so many turtles. And every time that, when those fish feeders go off, guess what comes up? Yeah, turtles? Turtles. Everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere you look. You just start netting them, huh?

And that fish food ain't cheap. Oh, yeah. So I put up Martin on the advice from Martin, I put out a hoop net and hung a can of sardines in the back of the hoop net and poked holes in it. Oh, yeah. And I'm catching 10, 15, 20 at a time. Okay.

That's how we used to catch an big old alligator snapping turtles in college when we'd have to do it. Oh, I think so. For herpetology. big old rascals go in there off there, I'm thinking, but now, you know, to get them biggins, you had to go to, like,

the fish market. Oh, and get them, get them cuts that weren't necessarily desirable. You'd get a lot of buffalo for like six bucks. What big one y'all caught when you was in school? Like 85. 85 pounds.

Yeah, biggin. But we would catch them, too, on the train tracks down there. Yeah, we'd catch them on the train tracks when they were nesting. Yeah. Because at Black Bayou,

they come out and nest on train tracks. And you just walk down there and grab it. pick him up hey let me tell you something you get you about one of them 60 pounders make out walk down them train tracks you you're having some life decision questions about the time you get back to the truck no no no no man feel caught one on a trot line in a private lake we slipped in on that's where jay scottet it see it's genetic private lake we slipped in on also known as we poached yeah and trespass right yeah but anyway we got up and we got hit the Hit the line.

Tomato tomato, huh? Yeah, we hit the line, you know, where you couldn't find it. When we come up there to run it the next morning, it's out where you can see it. The field said, uh-oh, the old boy found it. So we started running it, and it looked just like someone had took wire cutters and just right at the eye, right below the eye, and just cut the hook off. 27, 27 in a row, click, click, click, click. So we come up there and then Phil said,

Greece the things, huh? He said, come up here and help me. I'm going to have to wrap the line around the boat paddle and we're going to both break the line or either make pull it looks. So we both get on it, we're pulling it. And here's just a big wad of limbs and look like moss coming up.

And it's about big around as this table. You know, huge. You know, well, we started. grabbing the limbs and moss and we reached down and grab some moss and start to pull it and that logger head he runs his head out and just is it's coming boy bite your hand off that's not a way to about 125 125 I knew I should have said 130 right I mean just huge so look we didn't have no we let it go go go by the house, get a 22 rifle,

fill it full of hollow points. Don't kill him. No, no, no. 18, 18 hollow points. Just, we pull it up, he comes out with that head, just, pop, pow, paw, pow, pow, pow,

pal, pow, pow, 18 rounds in their head. Look, this rascal has taken 18, 22 hollow points and it's still just ah! That's a diamond. Oh, hey, oh, no, so we load it up again

and empty another 18 in him. He stopped that. Ha, ha, ha, ah. After 18 of them, you should have just let it bump. You should have said, you know what, you win. Oh, no, no. Look, we gave that to an old man. And he, you know, he's just, man, he was just ecstatic.

Oh, yeah. He's butchering him, cleans him up, you know, all the meat that he's going to cook for his fans. Well, we come back two months later, and he's got it on his mantle above the fireplace. And he's got a giant eagle that he painted on it. Oh, okay, look. He's got a ball eagle on this turtle shell that has got a salmon that weighs 40 pounds in his grip. And the American flag of Mike Lindell standing right behind him. Drop dead gorgeous.

This old man painted that, but it was beautiful. And a grizzly bear was over. Oh, no, hey, I'm saying, this thing was gorgeous. somewhere north of Shreveport of Billy Ray Cyrus I was saying. Oh, hey look, we was kids. We had a blast, okay? Oh, man.

Well, Stone, in a couple days, when I walk outside and there's four, there's a certain log between me and Jep's house that the turtles sit on. It's normally already pretty full. They probably got some new residents. Let's take another break. We'll be back right at. Y'all ought to be ashamed shooting them turtles like it.

No. Well, that's what Bullfrow will do. Oh, I've shot them any of them. Don't let me You wanted to shoot them. I was like, well, let's just. I just don't anymore. I said it'd be more fun to put them in Uncle Jason's pond. It'd be more fun to put them in Uncle Jason's a pool. That thing's a gar-hole.

Oh, I like that idea. But I've already told him what I'm doing, so he'll know it's you. He'll know it's me. Yeah, but you could tell him you paid, you know, one of them Owen kids or something. They did it. I'm the only Owen kid. No, you got kids. Oh, yeah.

He ain't going to be mad at your kid. That's true. I wonder if I put one in Johnny's pool. What do? I don't know, but I'd start putting a couple in everybody's pool. Johnny, walk out. Just see how long. Just see.

Just see. Turtles in pool. Well, I'd probably stay away from Big Dave's pool because, well. I don't. He on. He's a little artery. He don't mess with the man at the end of the street. I see Big Dave stopped the other day down there on the bridge going home.

He has Rod and Reel in his hand. His dad? Yeah. The first bridge. The first pond. That bridge. That first part. Which one?

When you come out on 34, when you leave Bockingville. Really? Yeah. Big Dave, road fishing, huh? Oh, yeah. He's road fishing, boys. Boy, that time's getting rough at the honeyhole. Oh, no.

He's checking. Hey, he's a man that when he says, hey, go here, you can catch him. He's done checked it out. I'll tell you. You sure that was him? Yeah, it was him. Okay. He sure it wasn't.

Mac. Mac was in town. That sounds more like a Mac move than a Dave move. Was it Wednesday morning? Uh, I don't know what day it was. It was Wednesday morning. He was in a little blue car. Your dad drove a blue car?

No. And this is why eyewitness reports are unreliated. He's got two different blue tundras, but no little blue car. But I'm telling you, it was, you know, your dad. I've spent many a day sitting behind that d'arbone spillway. Oh, yeah. With a treble hook. Oh, yeah.

It one of them seven-foot snagging pole. Yeah, three-tailed shrimp and a heavy weight and a big rod. Three-tailed shrimp, that's right. You kept any big old catfish? Those big old spoonbills. Snagging spoonbills. Mm-hmm. That's a nasty fish.

Oh, he's nasty. They're cool. Anything that opens their mouth and stinks like they stink? Whoa. Well, I mean. And hey, and it's, hey, I don't know how big them things. Big. Big.

Real? Yeah. Hey. They are up there. You ever ate one? No. I had about a 35 or 40 pounder pull me around on Wastaw River a couple of years. Oh, yeah.

That's fun. Yeah, I just took the motor off spotlock and let him pull me down the river. We were in Kansas. Were you snagging? No, I was bass fishing. In some states, it's legal. He hit it like a baths. He did.

He did. He did. I got a bull here. On a spinning rod. Yeah. Well, I knew when I set the hook, I said, uh-oh. In some states, it's legal. to catch them but supposedly they're endangered in Louisiana that's a bunch of bull when you can run a

treble hook yeah through just yeah open water yeah and catch them and just the whole pile of them snag them yeah look i got some really cool images on my depth finder of it that's like they say that turkey buzzard is extinct that's a bunch of bull the what turkey buzzard turkey buzzer oh yeah the fish comrade comrade yeah that's bull that's a bunch of bull they ain't in the danger I can't remember one of them stupid things. That old boy in Kansas, we were duck hunting in Kansas, and he said, y'all need to try this. It's the best fish you'll ever eat.

He said that? Yeah. And I said, what is it? He said, smoked spoon cat. Smoked spoon cat. That does not sound like the best fish. No, anything that stinks like a spoonbill catfish? There it is.

No. They smell. It's dead. Send it to Johnny T. But he just kept on and on about how good it was. I'll try anything he wants. So I tried it. And it was,

it tasted like, if you could imagine, smoked thread thin shad. Smoke thread. Oh. That's nasty. Oh, yeah. Look at that.

Look at that big old. That thing is stinking like, I mean, something dead right now. He didn't stink near as bad as I did when I got done with him. But I know. But I was a little. You needed a shower after that.

Look, after I caught him, look, I grabbed, see that point on the river right there. That's what I was fishing. Catching a little spots. No, not right, no, back behind my head. Over here. Right there. I was catching a bunch of little spotted bass.

Get me some groceries. You got enough fishing poles, that's for sure. Yeah, well, you had to get them. You'd bring them to the boat. So see, you had a little bit of everything. Topwater, spinner, bake. Yeah, I'm just, you don't have to. Hey, just pick it up and go.

Pick it up and go. That's pro fishing. Okay. No, that's just I didn't want to retie. Well, hey, that's just pro-fishing up. Pro-fishing. Save time. Hey, get it.

Throw it. But I caught me about seven or eight of them spots, and then that rascal hit it. And I said, uh-oh. That's going to be a ride. And you see how far I am from that point now? I just untook it off spot a lot and just said, no. What is that floating in the water? I don't know.

Where did you hooky mat? Right in the corner of the mouth down there, up under his... You think he bit that bait? No, I mean, I think it was a little Ned rig. I think he just come through there with his mouth open. feeding and just accidentally. That's a weird looking fish. What are you talking about?

Look at that eye. That's a weird looking animal. That's a dinosaur. Caught him on eight pound flora. Oh, man. 20 pound braid, eight pound flora. Yeah, that's pretty good. How did you?

I just held on. For deer life? Yeah, I just let him pull the boat. That's my little aluminum. So I just let him pull me around. How old do you think that thing is, Martin? He old. That scratch right there comes from my, that blood come from my rod,

holder when I was trying to wrestle him up in there when I used to have all them cropy rods up there you can see them studs in my floor I got just as big a one on my knee because I wasn't paying attention where I put my knee down to get him but it's a big fish yeah that's a cool that's a good one that's a good one I threw him back I didn't eat him don't blame you there I took my picture with him and I said see you yeah you don't want no part of that that's a good one smoked thread that's just above Phil's house there on the river that's just above his house about five miles maybe that's what always amazed me is what you catch out of all like salt water

All right Hello at dot callroom.com That's the email address Johnny D You got anything keyed up in there Oh I got a lot today Oh, good I like it

But first my friend Drew D-R-U-E she sent this in and it just made me giggle that old visor, baby he got a look about him that is funny

so I'm just going to leave that there for the rest of the time Drew I'm going to critique you mildly on your drawing his beard is way too even way too uniform way too uniform you need to make that right side

just a little bit shorter than that left side and we'll be on to something other than that you pretty spot on And it's very scraggly. It's scraggler looking at that. Well, that's got a uniform. Well, what's so funny about it?

A shotgun is what did that. Yeah. And continues to do it. You think he learned after 60 years, get it out the way. Yeah. Well, you'd like to cut it off, get it out of the way. No. All right.

That shotgun take it off there, you know, every once while. You need to shoot left-handed for a season. No. Even her out. No. It's dangerous enough as it is. Oh, boy. There ain't no ever danger with me, sir.

What else he got? All right, my man, I'm like old Bubba. You know, I shoot for what I hit at. Oh, Bubba shot the jukebox. Yeah, I meant to shoot that. Old Mark Chestnut son, Johnny Dey, you'd have to really be knowing some old country to get that. I'm taking that win and going home with it. So Eli emails in.

He once sent us a package that had a Michael Jordan card in it, which was really cool to me. Thank you, sir. So, hey, if you email him, I'm going to answer that question. He needs some advice. He's working at a plant nursery. What is that, Martin? You just a nursery? Trees.

Like, say him he's plant world. Yeah, trees. Loves of people. Not sure about the work. He was just offered a job at a golf course working there. Just so happens a guy that offered this job. He's got a crush on his daughter. Both like each other.

They've already been on two dates. He really wants to take the golf course job because I would make a lot more money, he says. And I'd get to see old girl. lot. But I feel loyalty to the nursery since I've been working there for almost two years. Should I stay at the nursery or start at the golf course? Stay at the nursery. Whoa! Don't dip your pen and company ain't.

I'm just telling you right now, don't go there. That's right. Don't go there. That's his advice. I would go the other way. I'm with side. If you get more money at the golf course. Like my friend did he say, man, more money, more problem. I would have to take the rating.

There's also a saying that says, don't crap where you eat. Yeah, that goes right there with dipping your pen and company, yeah, don't just stay away from there. If you like the girl. What's more important to you? The girl or maybe like a little bump up in money more hours? Yeah.

I think technically, wait, let me read it word for word, would make a lot, quotation marks, a lot more money. Not more money. Do whatever's good for you, man. I would just say this, there's a lot of fish in the ocean. So go to the golf course? And if it gets weird, just be uncomfortable every day, but at least you got more money. Bill Saikins to speak from experience.

He used to be an assistant greenskeeper. Yeah, how is it? I enjoyed working at the golf course. It's outdoors. Okay. Were you chasing your boss's daughter? No. Okay.

No, I was chasing the superintendent. that nine out of ten mornings saying, hey, you got to let me duck hunt on this stupid golf course, deer hunt on it, bass fish and crappy fish. There typically is pretty good fishing on the line. Oh, hey, look, you're fertilizing the greens every day. Okay, that fertilizer helps fish grow big. So go to the golf course.

Hey, that's where all the game is at today. It's on the golf course. there's big deer that's on them okay there's ducks that lie on them you know and a lot of big bath and big crappie okay he finally he finally let me fish

and then I find out after I leave a buddy in my call and said hey guess what happened and I said what he worked at the golf course he said I just killed that big 14 point we used to see when we was born the fairways and I said, wait a minute, did you slip in and kill him illegally or did they let you hunt?

He said, oh, no, the superintendent of the less than it now. I said, hey, when you go on the working ball, go in and punch him right in the nose for me. As much as I ask that, boys, let me hunt. And then he does it after I leave. I don't recommend doing that. Oh, yeah.

So, okay, size advice is, go to the golf course. my advice is go the golf course there you go it's a lot of fun and you get a lot more money and there's plenty of fish in the there's plenty of women in this world we didn't help there well the reason i said that split decision no no reason i said that is he had he won your word that got my attention young advice you're young so hey go for it my man more money there you go all right more money more problems that's right

more golf course money more action every way you look at it all right jerry from Ontario canada um he's a little behind but he's catching up on the podcast he's 18 so he's starting to uh we got a lot of young list you don't hear many 18 year old jerry's though that's that's cool that's awesome I like it. I like that that name's making a comeback. That's awesome. Sorry, my bad, Johnny Duke. Okay.

So Jerry says, that's funny. You got me. Pretty good on that one. So he's getting older, but he's not a hunter, not a fisher, not a builder, not a car guy, sports guy. What in the world do you do in Canada? What do you do, Jerry? Well, he doesn't really want to be, he's not really interested in those things. That's mine.

I'm just wondering what you do in Canada. You know what are things. Yeah, I don't know. But he's tall and skinny. He wants to be like a good, like manly man, but he's not into all those things. I don't want to be, and I quote, this is the most Canadian thing I've ever heard in my life,

big angry lumberjack fueled with diesel testosterone. I just want to be a real man and a good one. But not a big angry lumbull jack. by diesel testosterone. Well, start in the book of John. That's the best for the blueprint you can get for being a man. That's right. Whoa.

There you go. You ain't got to chop down trees. You ain't got to have beers. You ain't got to do nothing. Just live a good, honorable life. You can be a man without fixing cars. I can't fix a car. Yeah.

There's a hundred different ways you can be a man. It don't. Just because you don't hunt a fish. Big angry lumberjack with diesel testosterone? That's awesome. Just because you don't hunt a fish, That's a perfect description of Phil. Like, that, he pretty much.

What did Phil say, Phil, the story goes, when he went to clear that property, he showed up with a chainsaw on foot and said, his exact words were, we rule these woods. Him and Mike Williams. And he cleared out that whole thing with a chainsaw. Him and Mike Williams. So, yeah. You don't got to be like.

That's what he told him when he walked out there. They walked out there and they're standing in the middle of wood. Oak, Oak Woods in a low place. And he said, hey, Williams, we rule these woods. We rule.

Oh, wall, wall. No, that's, I mean, there you go. Follow the blueprint

of the best man that ever walked in the earth. Yeah, that's right. And if you're around people that are, like, I don't know why you would feel that way.

I don't think we would make you feel that way because, a big angry diesel-fuel-fueled testosterone man. I don't think any of y'all are either, but we do. I have to have a gas burner. We do. We do hunting fish, but your hobby... Anyways, your hobby is not what makes you or breaks you as a man.

Right. By any means, you can have whatever hobby you want. I mean, now are some more outdoorsy? Sure, but that makes them outdoorsy, not a man. Yeah. What is your hobby? Currently fishing a little bit. I went to Darbon the other day.

And a kayak. Yeah. I was there for 30 whole minutes before I went to a eight-year-old soccer game. So my current hobby is raising children. Yeah, that's your fault. He said that. Well, what else you got? You got a Bible verse for him for being a man?

I do. There you go. I do. I figured that's an easy. on now. Who is the ultimate man? There you go. Jesus. There he is. So in Matthew 28, Jesus is talking to his father. No,

Matthew 20. That was weird. He's talking, I don't even think there. You got 28 on your mind. Well, it's verse 28. Yeah. Matthew 20, he's talking to his followers, starting in 25. He called them together, and he said a few things. And then right at the end, he says, whoever wants to be first must be your servant,

just as the son of man did not come to be served. but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. You want to be a real man? Serve the people around you. Whatever they need, do it. That's what real men do. Might not be hunting, fishing. It might be going to a seven-year-old soccer game.

Serve people. Makes you a real man. Boom. There you go. All right. We'll see y'all next time here in the dot-call room. We're out.
