What is up, guys, welcome back to the Duck Call Room.
Look, I know this is different.
It's just me, right?
But we wanted to drop in before this episode starts and let you guys kind of know an update on our schedule.
So the episodes you're going to see tonight, we actually recorded before Phil's passing.
So I really just wanted to jump on here and let you guys know, like, this isn't, man, they're moving on and they've forgotten about Phil and the founder and the legacy and all that.
Not that.
We had this episode done.
You're going to notice in the first little bit, I'm actually not even in the episode because something pretty stinking hilarious happened at my expense.
But stick around here, that part of the episode.
And just so you guys know where we're at in the next couple of weeks, we had a bunch of people in town stop and stop in, you know, for feel service and all the things.
So we actually got some really cool interviews, one with Reed Robertson, Jason's oldest son.
we had Bella and Jacob who actually live here, but to hear another grandkids perspective on their papaw feel.
And we even got to sit down with Silas Robertson's children.
All this in the weeks to come.
But tonight we're going to laugh.
We're going to tell some stories.
We're going to have some things.
Just wanted you guys to know that this isn't us moving on.
This is just what we had done.
Wanted you guys to see it because we think there's some super relatable stuff in here.
Hope you guys enjoy.
And as always, man, thank you all so much for all the support that you show us.
And thank you so much for all the thoughts, prayers, well wishes, for the whole family, for Kay, for Sae, for our business, everything.
We truly feel them and appreciate them.
So without further ado, guys.
Welcome back to the duck call room.
We can just start without Martin?
I just did.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the duck call room.
Martin is 30 miles away right now.
He's on his way.
I don't know what happened to him.
Checking him on your phone.
No, I texted him and he said 30 miles.
That was about 10 minutes ago, so.
He might be pretty fine.
He'll be here eventually.
I think something went haywire with a boat,
and a lot of stuff falls out of Martin's boat.
So.
Oh, that ain't good.
You know what I've learned?
A boat is like a big hole.
You dig with a shovel.
Probably be more realistic of Trachco.
And you just take,
hundred dollar bills you're chucking them in that hole that's right put them in the hole you'll
never see them again that is true but i bought a boat once yeah but it's having it's fun having a
boat oh the boat creates a lot of good memories yep it is expensive who yeah but hey that's the
thing anything that involves fun costs money that's good that's good that's got duck under you know is a
grand support, but it's expensive for the people that actually, you know,
have the stuff for you to use.
Doug hunting, fishing.
All that.
Wife.
A lot of work.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
If you got to be getting married, hey.
He said, wife.
Like I said, everything that's fun.
Cost money, boys.
I guarantee you.
That's hilarious.
Hey, what's going on out in the news?
In the news?
Yeah.
Is there anything newsworthy?
I don't watch the news.
I, you know what, let's just go for it.
Clearly there's nothing going on in the news,
because the good people of Shreveport called me while I was on the way here.
Yeah.
And said they're doing a news article about the things I made fun of Shreveport about with the British people a couple weeks ago.
They don't understand podcasts.
It's a news article about me saying Shreveport Stam.
Well, hey, look, it's the truth.
You know, hey, look, don't.
get all been out of shape, it's the truth.
No, the world's in a sad state when your opinion matters.
Yeah.
I didn't know it did until two minutes ago.
Especially on a podcast that is the design of it is, okay,
to be informative and do something that's fun.
Well, in our case, fun is the key word.
No.
Everything's lighthearted.
And you know what else is fun?
Going to Shreveport to get Mexican food.
I've tried Shreveport enough, so now I'm going to say,
your positives, people.
You got great Mexican food.
You got a great steakhouse.
I'm running out of things quick.
Hey, I'll be back.
Look, I was raised about 30 miles north of people.
All that Red River.
Red River's a great place.
And look, and look, that was, hey, the Mexican food was back.
You know, so Mexican food had been there all alone.
I'm talking about a very specific restaurant.
Well, no, no.
I'm talking about.
What's the one that was the,
was there. Superior?
The superior bar and grill.
I mean, that's...
That plays legit.
Oh, yeah.
Me and Martin went there.
Well, no, a lot, but hey, that's been there ever since I was...
And not only that, they have the best donuts.
Yeah.
Oh, that's good donuts, too.
That's right.
Southern made.
Right off the interstate.
That's right.
I think all my Shreveport anger is from their interstate construction,
and you have to drive basically like you're on a motorcycle.
Hey, the roads have always been trash, okay, and they ain't never fixing it.
Well, to be fair, the road.
the roads around here.
Well, no, no, in the state of Louisiana, it's bad.
It's bad.
Yeah.
Our brides are terrible.
Mississippi got better rows we got.
That's saying something.
Who's that?
Mississippi.
The rows of Mississippi are better than ours.
Well, I would just, I will say this for the Mississippi people.
I've done a lot of charity events all over the United States.
And I figured it'd be Texas because they got the oil.
Mm-hmm.
or Oklahoma.
Now, the most generous people
in these United States of America
is two of them.
It's Mississippi and the Carolinas.
Yep.
Mississippi gives a lot of money
and does a lot of stuff for children,
you know, children.
A lot of good people in Michigan.
A lot of good people, really are.
I was shocked.
Why were you shot?
I just was. I had figured Texas
since it's so big would be the, you know,
top of the.
That's like a Jace compliment.
I mean, I was surprised at how good you just did.
Well, I'm just saying.
That's called a backhanded.
I mean, I was shocked.
There's good people in Mississippi.
Well, no, no.
I feel, but I'm just saying,
there's good people everywhere.
Okay, because we run into them when we want to go out.
And hey, look, they're all rednecks.
Uh-huh.
I'm serious.
All you good people are rednecks.
Just good old country boys.
in girls.
You know, last time I was...
Down on the farm, having fun.
Last time I was in Shreveport,
there was a bunch of people
just riding horses down the street,
and I was like, you know what,
this place may be okay.
Right, that's right there.
Also, I went to Shreveport two days after that.
Simple stuff.
So to the good people of Shreveport,
I kind of apologize,
but our minor league hockey team's cooler than yours.
And it's a fun little I-20 rivalry.
Shoot back at me, I dare you.
Anyways.
I was shocked that my opinion mattered.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, that's one of them things you never know.
You never know.
You never know who's going to listen to this and run with whatever we said.
Well, it's like when you throw a rock and a dog pen.
Which every one yelped, that's the one you hit, boys.
So, hey, you throw a rock and it hits three points, and they yelped.
That's the best analogy I've ever heard.
Hey, I'm just serious.
Hey, you know, it's the old deal about how you don't.
will that squeals the loudest gets the grace boys that's it that's fantastic there it doesn't change it
doesn't no well we started this on media didn't we we started this on but no we that was before i was in
the room and i said y'all ain't go believe that they just called me and asked for a quote or something
for a newspaper article about me saying mean things to shreveport well i think you've established
that there are good things and there are bad things no there's good fishing out there they have
good looking women over there.
I've even been to that Bass Pro Shop.
Bass Pro Shop.
It's a neat place.
I don't shop there, but I've been there.
I think it's called the Brookshire's
super, uh, we have that too,
So, no, no, but this is, this is for, uh,
Oh, that's up, you got to go.
Entertainment purposes.
Have you played that arena?
I don't know, but I went there to see Mercy Me, uh,
the Cochran and Company and, uh, Crowder.
Oh, Crowder.
Hey, hey, it was fabulous.
Okay, and my humble opinion, Crider beat them all.
That boy sang.
They got to look about him, too.
Oh, yeah, and hey, you know, and he sings about the man, boys.
The man?
Yeah.
Hey, you know who are talking about.
The only man that count, boys.
Yeah, yeah.
That would be Jesus himself, boys.
But, hey, Christ's got a lot of good.
lot of Jesus.
He's got a good beard, too.
His beard's about like yours.
Well, hey, I made him personally, you know, and he said,
yo, he was a big fan of mine.
I said, well, hey, right back at you.
Right, back.
Right.
He sings that song, Grave, Robert.
Yeah.
Is that one that's a good one?
Hey, that's a good one.
Oh, he's got a lot of catchy tunes.
Oh, yeah.
Size up to officially a hundred and twelve.
112 what?
Hey, look.
I've been counting them.
since they start.
Hey, I'm a noise,
Mike,
boy,
I got a lot of nervous
energy in me.
Are you nervous today?
Yeah,
hype.
I'm always nervous.
Do you guys want to know
a secret about the slamming?
Or I have to go in
every single time,
highlight that little area,
and try and dim
that noise and lower it
every single time.
Hey,
I just,
I'm a noise maker boy.
I've got a lot of nervous energies
pinned up.
Boy.
You have to do that every time?
every single time.
No wonder you're so stressed out.
No kidding.
I've always wondered why Hunter,
like when Hunter comes in,
I always just thought he was kind of had like some ticks and some nerves to him.
But it's because every time Cy slap something,
Hunter's got five more minutes of work to do.
You know,
a smart man would get this table out of here
and bring in a new table with padding on it.
It's been talked about,
but those tables are so iconic.
These tables are iconic.
Yeah.
Hey.
I don't agree with that.
Hey, look, you can't.
This is part of the scenery here, boys.
You can't change that.
It's got to look about it, but I wouldn't, I wouldn't describe it as iconic.
But hey, here's the bad.
Here's the deal with.
Talent is hard to deal with, boys.
That's just all this time.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay.
113.
That's it.
Hey.
Oh, I know why I'm so noise making all the time.
Yeah, tell us.
Hey, it's a 13-year-old trapped in a 7-7-year-old body.
That's true.
But that, but I'm clawing to get out.
I'm just glad I finally know why Hunter's, like, every time.
He's a gunshot.
Hunter's a gunshot because he said, boy, I wish he could get over here,
that little issue he has about making noise.
That's how weird.
But, hey, but think of it this way, Hunter.
It's job security.
It is.
I will never complain.
You just did.
I did not.
Oh, you just decided.
He just made a statement.
He didn't complain.
That's not complaining.
I ain't complaining.
Again, not complaining.
Hey, look, hey, I always tell you, I'm like James Brown.
I'm loud and I'm proud, Jack.
And, hey, just get out of my way.
If you can't take it, move on.
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 because of our friends over at Tri-Tales.
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 Tritales 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'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
which is just a
she doesn't eat meat.
She ain'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.
Welcome back.
No, we've been here, sir.
We did one without you.
Where have you been?
I had myself a day, man.
What did you do?
It's fun.
Well, you can see.
It doesn't seem fun.
I'm a little red.
So I didn't wear sunscreen.
but I went fishing.
Where'd you go?
I ain't safe.
Hey!
At least 30 miles from here.
Yeah, about 50 miles from here.
Oh, did you go up there?
Who were me and you went?
No, same area kind of, but a different place.
Different place.
Yeah, and how was it?
Well, the fishing was good.
Yeah, the fishing was great, actually.
The day, not so much.
Jesse and Biggles?
Caught a four-pounder, biggest one I caught.
Caught on a frog, though.
Okay.
Did you not know what time we were starting and you just got caught up in the fun?
No, I was very well aware of what time we were starting.
This all happened because Willie said they needed some fish for a family dinner.
So the man who signs my check tells me to go catch fish for a family dinner.
Amen, buddy.
I'm in.
Like, let's go.
There's one small issue, though.
God-loving
Our cameraman went with him
I was like well we better film a friend commander anyway
So Jared's there
Jared stands up to take a leak
Off the bag of the boat
Totally normal behavior
Yeah that happens right
Got to pee
And I heard a splash
Well
Better be kidney sounds
Well
Hopefully with him and not it's up
I've been with him long enough to know
Well that ain't from taking the leak right
So, like, I mean, nothing fell into the water.
But something fell into the water, and I just heard him go, oh, no.
Oh, no.
Camera?
Boy, I wish it was.
Really?
No, it wasn't a camera.
It was my truck keys.
Whoa.
Serious business here, boys.
In 16 foot of water.
Oh.
Oh.
Where were your keys located in his pocket?
Yeah.
Yeah, he had a hole in his pocket.
Ain't that cool.
Oh, good.
Ain't that tight.
Mm-hmm.
So y'all found them?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
No, my truck's still over.
Good night.
My truck's still over in the middle of a cornfield.
It's fine.
That's all good.
Why do you lose so much stuff out your boat?
I don't know, bad.
I'd tell you, well, I'm better.
We were hauling my trailer, my boat back home because Nolan come and rescue me.
And so he's like, well, we'll just take your boat home, take it on home.
I was like, yeah, okay, that's cool.
And part of my fender on my trailer ripped.
off. So it's a pretty expensive day of fishing so far.
Tone already said it.
We've already talked about it.
We've already said it.
What?
A boat being like a big hole, you just start shucking them $100 bills.
Bust out another thousand.
You never get it back.
E-O-A-T, bust out another thousand.
Yep.
That's what boat is.
But it's fine, man.
I caught some fish.
Got out of work.
Hey, look, I got to go fishing on a random day there in the middle of the week.
I got paid and there's people that somewhere probably that ain't going to eat tonight.
I'm okay.
Is it frustrating?
Golly, is it frustrating?
Because I look at Jared and I said, I don't care that you drop my keys.
I've done this before.
I have my keys and my wallet, everything and a sweatshirt went out to river.
That's fine.
Stuff happened.
I just said, why did you have my keys?
That was my question.
Why do you have my keys?
Did he take your truck back to the parking lot?
We're in a cornfield.
we're in a hundred acre reservoir oh so you never we're the only humans around there did he back
your boat in the water he did that's where he got them well that's i said i said why i said you know
when we come here i leave them on the console so if my truck's in the way for a farmer because them is
full-blown farmer up in a race that they can move my truck like if they're bringing disc or
so you never even moved your truck from being backed into the water no i pulled it out of the ramp
Just because I don't want my trailer sitting in the water for four hours.
I didn't think so.
But I just pull up, but it's right by a turn row.
So like they travel that with tractors doing all their jobs.
So I leave them on the console in plain sight.
Well, they can move it.
Where they can see.
Like if they come up to my truck, they see my keys,
they move my truck out the way and then everything's fine.
Well, he saw them sitting on the console.
It's like, boy, I better grab him.
And that is where we had a mistake.
The mistake was taking my keys out of the time.
truck.
I'm so much dropping them in the water.
Yeah, it didn't even, I don't know how it never hit the boat.
Like, it fell out of his pocket into the water.
He must have that lean going.
I think he was, I said, and next time, don't worry about getting all the way out of my boat.
If you pee on my boat, you pee on my boat.
Like, it's sea deck.
I can spray it off.
It's in carpet.
It's not going to be there for forever.
Like, it just, a little pee, man.
You're going to dribble, dribble, I don't care.
Like, you know, keep yourself and my stuff inside the boat, please.
So, yeah, that's what I've been dealing with.
So I got a key in process of being overnighted here.
So that's fine.
There you go.
Was there anything attached to the keys?
No, I didn't have nothing.
I don't keep nothing on.
I keep an extra set of keys with all, like, my shop keys and gate keys, farm keys, all that stuff.
I just have the fob.
Yeah, I ain't even got an actual key.
So, like, it's just a fob.
So the lady at Chevrolet was very nice about it.
So you're your house key.
All your other keys are safe.
Yeah, well, all my keys.
My house keys aren't keys anymore.
They're codes, so I don't have any, I don't have any keys at my house.
Oh, what kind of fish we catch?
Bass?
Yeah, I caught a lot of bass, and I caught a lot of crappie.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I found a school of crappie out, and the crappie is where the 16-foot-of-water key drop happened.
Right.
So that's.
Well, the good news is they canceled the family dinner, so.
Yeah, yeah.
So now I just have a bunch of fish to claim for myself, which I kept.
way more than I ever would for me.
So, yeah, I get to go home clean fish for a couple of hours when I get done here.
So, and, yeah, you know, it's all good, man.
Life is good.
It's just a small.
There's always a lip on the radar.
A small mouth.
There's always a pothole of two that you had to hit.
That's part of life.
If you're in Shreveport, there's potholes everywhere.
Oh, sorry, I can't see that.
Oh, Lord.
There's a 16-foot pothole, unfortunately.
And the lady at Chevrolete, what I called her,
She said, well, can you dive in and get them?
I said, ma'am, I don't know that I can get to the bottom in 16 foot without drowning.
Like, I don't know.
A dime.
I don't know that, like, I don't think that's a deal.
When she heard Keith fell in the water fishing, she thought like at the boat ramp, like, you know.
Or an average person, I consider myself a strong swimmer.
Yeah, I'm not a strong swimmer.
We ain't going down 16 feet.
No, I need some help if I'm getting down that.
Oh, yeah.
I need some help or I'm dead.
Your ears will explode.
Yeah.
I've tried that before.
I had about a $10 crank bait.
I got hung up in a brush top.
And I wanted to get that crankbait.
So I thought I'd dive down there and just follow the fishing line.
Yeah.
Don't ever do that.
Yeah.
Just break him off.
Yeah.
Just bust him off.
It ain't worth it.
Well, what's funny is all day too fishing.
I was fishing in like three, four foot of water throwing a frog around.
Like up there shallow throwing a frog around trees and grass.
Like, why couldn't they fall out?
I got a chance, man.
Yeah, you could have got to take...
You ain't got no chance.
Take your huge off and fiddle where you'd hoe.
Yeah.
It's magnetic?
I mean, it's just...
I've been wanting to open that box with that magnet
and that rope on it and just keep it for myself.
It's just a plastic fob.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't think there's nothing metal in there to...
I have a ring.
To get it.
Huh?
Yeah, there's a little ring, but I mean, I don't think that's enough...
Them rings are made out of, like, recycled beer cans or something.
I don't know that there's anything magnetic.
I mean, you can bend them with your hand now.
Key rings ain't what they used to be.
Yeah.
What is what it used to be?
They're not split rings on a crankbait.
Now, you can't break them up a pair of pliers.
You'd probably get him.
But the, no, I mean, they're gone.
I mean, who care?
They're at the bottom of the pond at this point.
It's an electronic key fob.
I think that ship is sailed even if I got it.
So I don't imagine.
I imagine they're water resistant.
I don't imagine they're waterproof.
Was that guy?
I wonder, was that you, the duck hunting,
and you dropped something and found it with your feet?
I have,
well,
God wouldn't have,
I think we all have on that.
I found my phone this past season that I dropped in the water with me.
Yeah,
that's what it was.
Burley on the Patriots hunt.
Oh,
that's why.
It was burly.
It was burly.
That's who it was.
And he took all his clothes on.
Yeah.
I didn't do that.
I just reached down there and got my arm wet.
It was 30 to go.
Oh, no, no, no, it was.
He's chest deep.
Yeah.
He had a few.
He's there it is right there with, you know, with his toe.
Yeah.
Oh, I fished.
up plenty of stuff out of the, out of the muck duck up, which ain't no big deal.
It ain't 16 foot of water.
I wish somebody would have took a picture of him when he got back in the blind.
He was in his tidy whitties.
30 degree weather.
Burley was?
And he wasn't even shaking.
He was not shivering.
He acted like nothing happened.
Well, you can't at that point, can he?
He got to maintain the toughness at that point.
He got that phone.
And it worked.
And it worked.
Yeah.
Yeah, the new ones, they can go for a bath for a little while.
I don't know how long, but they can, it took me, it was like an hour one day before I realized mine was gone.
I was like, uh-oh.
And then I slid back over there to the tree I was by and I found it.
Yeah, it's, it's wild, man.
But yeah, I figured that key fob, it's done.
There's no.
There's some fish down there looking at it right now saying, what in the world?
Probably ate it.
Maybe.
Hopefully.
That'd be cool.
That'd be a cool story.
Catch him and clean him one day.
And then there's, there you go.
Got my car keys back.
I'd really like to catch a one that found my.
wallet from last time it's happened to me. He said, he had about $400 cash in him.
What did Jerry say? Jerry said, do you want to hit me? And I said, no, not really. Why?
What's that going to come? I said, no, not really. Well, I just think I'd feel better if you did.
That's probably true. You know, he feels terrible. Oh, he like a whooped dog. There's nothing
worse than making a mistake that causes somebody else a mess.
headache. Well, he knew as well as I did. There's a pretty strong chance we're spending the night
here, man. I got to find somebody that knows where this place is. Like, yeah, notice you didn't call me.
Yeah. Well, you also didn't, the part of that is you didn't want people to know where it was.
Yeah, I don't need a bunch of pilgrims knowing where this fishing hole is. I ain't trying to.
You got old Nolan to come to get you? Did he haul your boat in his electric car?
No, he brought, he, he had his tundra with him because he had his boat over there at the shop.
So he dropped his and left his and grabbed mine.
So I said, there you go.
That's tight.
But he wanted, but Nolan needed something from me too.
So he needed my transducer off my boat.
So I said, hey, transducer's here, man.
Just take it off.
I don't care.
What kind of hat was he wearing?
What do you have on?
Just baseball cap this time.
I see him.
He's wearing that.
That funny hat?
Funny hat.
Yeah.
Them Jace hats.
Jays, he went through a kick where he wore them kind of hats.
Was they called fedoras.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nolan had a fedora kick.
I'd see him at church and I'd be like,
I don't think I could pull that off.
I know I could.
I didn't think no one could pull it off either,
but he was trying.
Fishing's been good, man.
It's all the stuff surrounding fishing today.
Yeah.
Hey, maybe he doesn't take your truck keys and throw them in.
Maybe they'll start biting.
Oh, I'm good.
Just take him and say, I don't need them.
Just take Jared fishing with you, apparently.
That's all you got to do.
What else he said?
He said, I swear, I wake up every day
and try not to do something stupid.
He said,
but so far,
I'm taking an L on that one.
He said,
it seems like every,
he says,
Lord Jared just beating himself up.
Oh,
he tried to be trying to pay for everything.
I said,
like,
Jared,
your only penance is you're going to be the one
that has to drive me back
an hour and a half over here.
Yeah.
I'm taking three hours of your day.
That's your penance for when this happened.
You got to drive me back to my truck.
Hunter is just a giggling.
Hunter,
you wake up and try not to do something stupid
every day?
That's what I tell myself every
Just don't do nothing stupid today.
Well,
you look in the man and say
Don't do anything stupid?
Yeah, I'm so clumsy.
I make mistakes every waking minute.
So I'm like, don't do anything stupid today.
I think it just has to go with the territory of being a male under 40.
No, my dad says it all the time.
I remember them days when I'd wake up and say,
well, I don't know what the crap.
I'm going to do stupid today.
Yeah.
And it's just because it's coming.
Yeah.
I do something similar to that, but when I get in the truck, I expect somebody else to do something stupid.
Defensive.
That way, when it happens, I just laugh at it.
That's a good point.
It's not a surprise.
It's not a surprise.
I expect it, especially around here.
I didn't, I got to be honest, I didn't have my keys ending up in the bottom of the pond on my bingo
card, but this because one of the last time I saw them, because I got lined up on the
boat ramp, everything.
I was like, all right, let me unhook.
I just unhook.
I said, just dump me straight back in, no problem.
And the last time I saw them, they were sitting in the middle of my console for everybody
to see.
That was the last place I saw.
It was like to me.
You need to get your boys from new britches.
Yeah, I don't know how you end up with a hole in that pocket.
Was you where?
I noticed, you know what I noticed?
I said, are you sure they're not your keys?
And he said, no, they're in my other pocket.
I said, oh, so your keys went in a good pocket.
Mine wasn't a bad part.
Oh, man.
He said, no, I didn't know I had a hole in this thing.
I said, that's not how it seems right now.
That's a rough day.
Right now it seems like, ah, his will probably hold in there.
It ain't no big deal.
That's tough.
Oh, yeah, it's a toughie.
I've been seeing an old guy on the internet holding up fish every day.
That's all he does.
That's all that boy does fish every day.
He's living the dream.
He's living, he's living his dream, that's for sure.
He took the best business advice my dad ever got.
This is what reminded me.
My dad says it every day.
He goes, just don't do anything stupid.
If I'm like, hey, should I order this?
He's like, is it stupid?
And I'm like, I don't think so.
Well, then do it.
Yeah.
Just don't do anything stupid.
And Gobwin is doing that every day.
He's not doing anything stupid.
He's just going fishing.
Just go fishing, knock sides off of them, send them on their way.
Eat a sandwich.
Oh, it's so beautiful.
I need to talk to Paula about that.
What?
Because she's a sandwich maker.
Oh, she makes a sandwiches?
Oh, yeah, Paula got, Gawba got everybody on the payroll.
Like, Paula makes sandwiches, Johanna baked some cookies.
Like, oh, you weren't here when Johanna sent him cookies up here.
Johanna made us cookies.
Oh, no, no, yeah.
Them of them, uh, uh, the cream pie.
She made her some homemade cream pie.
Homemade oatmeal cream pie.
Uh-huh.
Oh, they were excellent.
They were good.
Yeah, they were good.
Yeah, they were good.
Yeah, God would come walking in with a bag last time I was here.
I was like, I don't know what's in it, but judging by the grease stain.
on it, I'm going to like it.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
Yeah, that old grease stain, dead giveaway.
Yeah, I need that.
Whatever that is.
What if you took a homemade oatmeal cream pie, heated it up, and then put some of that
oatmeal cream pie ice cream.
Okay.
On top of that.
Okay.
I wouldn't be angry.
I'd like to, I'd like to borrow Gobbins arm monitor.
Yeah.
Just to see what I did.
See if I looked like a progressive slot.
Yeah, she wanted to rush.
Somebody'd show up.
thinking God was in trouble if you wore his.
Abort.
There'd be a bunch of needles come flying at you.
You need some of this, man.
You need that insulin, son.
Get on.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, it's a day, ma'am.
Whatever.
Hey.
God's good, man.
At the end of the day, God's good.
This is the truth right there.
All I got to do now is keep my kids alive the rest of the day, you know,
which is a task all in and of itself.
At that age.
I told Jared, I said, you know what's going to happen?
Well, my kids are going to do the same thing.
so I need to practice patience right now.
Like, this is a good time for me to realize.
I said, when I take you fishing,
it is like fishing with my kids.
So, Jared grew up bank fishing.
He never spent a lot of time in a boat fishing.
And you can tell, like, kind of the way he operates in a boat.
That's what they do in bunky.
With me and Martin,
hey, me and Martin are catching bass ever catch, ever catch.
Ever cast.
What does he catch?
It's a drum.
Yeah.
A Gasper goo.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I handed it in the rod.
We're catching their bass every time they're tearing this little old,
crank bait up.
Crank bait.
Crank bait.
Yeah.
And what do you catch?
He catches a drum.
O.G. Tiny 4, baby.
I know, Martin.
Yon.
You never need to know what it is doing.
Hey, I fish the same stuff, man.
You know why?
Because they bite it.
Yeah.
That's why I.
That's why I fish here.
If it comes by him, oh, I'm sitting there and, hey, fix it lifted all the water.
one of them about two and a high pounder just like to took the rod and all from it and i mean i
was fixing to lift the bait out of water had that much left of dangling
hey you won't know how bad it was this morning on them cropy i was just dropping straight down
on top of them like found them out there in the middle of nothing just straight down oh yeah
so i catch i don't know about a dozen of them and i looked at jared i said you won't catch one
a minute just after he dropped my key y'all being mean no i just looked at
look, I just, I'd say, you won't catch one of them?
He said, yeah.
So I hand him to rod, and he drops it down there.
And that sucker called a blue gill.
I've been catching, I'm sure.
That big.
Yeah, it's something wrong with the boy.
All you had to do was just get it down there.
He ain't even here to defend himself.
No, he'd, hey, he's whooping on himself a worse than I am right now.
He said, there's something wrong with the boy.
No, no, no, I'm serious, because I fished with people like that before.
Okay, but I feel like that, because I absolutely.
struck out for an hour
the other night. And the two easiest
ponds to catch fish. You went to Willie's Pond, didn't catch
a fish. I went to Big Dave's Pond, didn't catch a fish. And I said,
screw it, I'm going to go over to Willys. Didn't catch a fish. And my
kids are sitting there looking at me. And
Lottie goes, I got mad at one point
and I dropped Benny's famous line.
I'm a terrible fisherman.
And Lottie looks at me and goes,
Dad, are you a terrible fisherman? And I was like,
Are you a terrible fisherman? Maybe.
Maybe. I'm good at it.
Bates.
And then we got back to my parents' house, and she looked at Allison and said,
Dad's a terrible fisherman.
I said, I'm about to whoop you.
I don't know what to tell you.
No, no, because you got to-
Quit repeating everything I say.
You got to look at that.
Martin's dropping them off, and I mean, it goes just as soon as he gets that certain help,
boom, he rives him in.
They've been doing it, like he said, there, 12, you know.
Straight down.
No, all right, you want to catch one?
Yeah, okay.
That's like night, we're night fishing on a hole, on a brush top.
Yeah.
You know?
So look, me and his corks are sitting just like that right there.
One inch apart.
One inch.
Hey, mine goes under.
I set the hook real.
It's a good one here.
So, hey, you know, I've already put 25 in the cooler.
And I said, dude, he said, what?
I said, the next time my cork disappears, pick yours up and move it one inch to the left.
I said, are you going to sit here?
all night and not catch a scale.
Boy, he's in the army with.
Yeah, yeah.
So, hey, he finally does it.
Hey, and then he caught one.
Probably weighs all three and a half, four pounds.
I mean, a big.
I witnessed one time.
Godwin and Sye, fish and side by side.
Oh, no.
Guy was whooped him.
17 to 1.
18 to 1.
He called 18 fish, and I caught one.
And look, I'm ridden it under his stupid bait the same speed.
And hey, boom, it's his.
And I went, what in the hell is going?
I've got the same bait.
It's the same speed.
I'm under him.
And the stupid crop he comes up and gets his.
I know there's people, I know there's people listening to this thinking they've been both those people.
Right.
Oh, no.
Because growing up, we fish, I fished with my Mamma on my papaw.
We's crappy fisherman.
Papal in the front.
Eyes in the middle.
A little husky boy in the middle of the boat.
And then Mamaw all back here in the back.
She in the back would strap me and him every time.
Oh, though.
Hey, Mamma all knows what you.
They done seeing all our stuff.
Yeah.
And they go back here to her, do.
She had that quill, didn't she?
I just, ma'amaw, no, she's using a jig.
Just that, damn, too.
tube jig, man, with a croppy nibble on there.
And I mean, she would strap our butts.
All that is is presentation.
And then she'd get back here giggling.
Oh, no.
She'd just be giggling.
I was watching my dad and mama one day in the boat.
And they all, you talk about competitive.
That's where we all got our competitiveness.
But anyway, you know,
daddy's been catching them big old chinky pants.
You know, and they was using baby crawfish.
the little bitty ones.
Oh, yeah.
So they stopped biting, you know.
So that's in the front of the bowl up in.
You know he's doing something because he's hiding it.
He hides.
Yeah.
Y'all, and that joke, you know.
Well, about, it's happened about 10 times, you know, and mama said,
James, what are you doing?
You know, he's putting another bait on.
She said, what are you doing?
He said, oh, I ain't doing nothing.
She said, don't lie to me, you sucker.
You're doing something different than I am.
because you're catching a fish every time you throw it back out of it.
He was pitted it.
He breaks the tail off and peel it.
He just put that uncle white meat on it and throw it out there as soon as you did.
Why ya!
Got him.
Yeah?
They was tired of shell cracking.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I told him, hey, no, this guy here is cleaned them for us, boys.
Yeah, look at here.
That catch me too.
That's a million y' boys on the menu over here.
Yeah, that catch me too.
Well, that old chinky panty, he's about to hunt his fish.
The fish, something that's just
I've always, when me and daddy would be fishing,
I said, hey, what, dad, what is it about
who people got the same base,
the same depth and are sitting side to side?
And one of them will catch 15
and the other one won't get a bite.
You know what my mom said?
She said, you ain't holding your mouth right.
That's what she always told me.
You ain't holding your mouth right.
And you know, as a kid.
I hear that 15 times a day.
So you got a bear or something?
No, as a kid,
Then you just sit in the bottom of the poke going.
Yeah.
You're changing.
And a whole big.
Fish are weird.
And the whole time she'd back here like, get the net, get the net.
Drinking them slimy coax.
We didn't have enough money for two ice chest.
Yeah.
The coax and the fish.
You just drink it, drink it, and how you get it's climbed to.
That don't make no sense because my dad had enough money for two ice chests, but we only had one, too.
Yeah.
He put it in there.
And my papal really had enough money for whatever ice chest he wanted, and he put it in the same one.
Yeah.
I'll tell you how ignorant I used to be when I first started fishing.
I got out there on candy, run out of water, but the fish were biting.
Yeah.
I just kept fishing.
Next thing I know, I'm having a, I'm getting dehydrated.
Yeah, you have, six hours.
I take my water bottle and fill it up with that good old Jackson Parish.
Caney water?
Caney water.
I held it up to the sun and I looked at it.
Oh, it ain't nothing in there.
What?
It ain't nothing there.
In the old days, people you drink this all the time.
I bet.
It's a good point.
I chugged that down.
Oh.
And let me tell you something.
It was like, I could have crap through a screen door.
Oh, yeah.
It was bad.
So don't ever drink the lake water.
My sister can't even get in cany without breaking out in a full-on rash.
If she drank it, she'd probably be in big trouble.
Yeah.
Well, good news is when you're on a lake, nobody dumps their sewage into the pond.
nobody nobody bypasses a septic tank go straight into the pond
stone was drinking it meanwhile uh jared's peeing off the back and dropping keys in the
yeah i've taken a mini a dump in that lake but it's the clearest water
it's the nearest lake anywhere here yeah you would you would think it's okay but i would
have tried i would have done it giardi is real man they said we still got that stuff around here
hunter hunter probably had it for you ever just taking a sip out of water you weren't supposed to
oh you ain't no i just figured you may have out there on the farm get running around to get you a drink
out of a mud puddle you hot that's like one of our number one rules and go find a water hose yeah yeah
don't drink out of the pond the lake the river none of that nowadays you can't even drink out of
water hose yeah i remember a football practice they hook the water hose up to the pvc oh that's so cool yeah boy
But if you went first, man, you got hot water.
Oh, sorry.
No, it didn't matter how thirsty you were.
Wait or go at the end of the line, man.
Go get that cold water.
Oh, man, junior high football, you'd be so sweaty.
That was the greatest thing ever, that PVC water squirting out.
I don't think I have.
Jared said he was going to title today's video, Keys to Success.
Keys to Success.
He's to success.
Leave them in the truck.
The Keys to Success.
Leave the keys in the truck.
That's what you need to tell.
Whoever you take with you next time.
Don't touch them.
Don't leave the keys in the console.
Boy, ain't that the truth.
Don't lock the door, idiot.
Golly.
I'm going to bust out of window.
Well, you can lock the door.
We've done that before.
No, it's 2025, man, lock the door.
I can call OnStar and unlock everything.
That's a, that's a...
And you fancy.
That's an app away, man.
My truck...
I remember doing that duck hunting over in the...
Mexico. Yeah, lock your keys in there. Locked them in there and I said hey. Yeah.
Yeah. I just panicked because I didn't know what my keys were. He said, hey, step back from the
vehicle. They're not in the pond. Well, both of my keys are in my truck right now.
Hey. That's a bad call. That's satellite of affairs too. Yep. Unlock you stuff. Oh, I do that
all time. I lock my keys in my truck all time intentionally just because you can use your phone
to unlock it. Like, I ain't got that kind of truck. Oh, really? That Toyota ain't got that?
Oh.
Oh, Big Dave got the fancy Toyota.
Oh.
Big Dave got their fancy.
Oh, big Dave got their fancy.
Oh, man.
We got anything, Hunter?
318, 215, 6559.
Is that right?
Yep.
And hello at duckcallroom.com.
Talladega Nights has competition.
We got a...
Well, there ain't no way it gets better than Talladega Night.
Well, Michael Corn married Barbara Corn.
Okay.
No, buried Barbara Cobb.
Barber.
Oh, corn on the cob.
Wow.
Her name is Barbara.
Oh, no, her name's not.
He said her name's Barbara Corn Cobb, but her name's Barbara Carbcorn, dude.
He switched it on me.
Oh, yeah.
This is Bucky from Oregon playing games.
Bucky.
Bucky from Morgan, boys.
Still, though.
Yeah, that's a-Aladaga Knight.
Talladega Nights wins.
That's a good one.
Do we tell you somebody named their kid Talladega and their last name was Knight?
Are you serious?
They listen to our podcast, which isn't shocking.
And they're from South Carolina.
I always said if I had a son, I was going to name him Keith.
Smooth.
Smooth.
Keith.
Keith Stone-like commercials.
Oh, no.
Keith Stone.
Moved.
You're so smooth.
Smooth like Keith Stone.
Smooth like Keith Stone.
That would have been out of that.
Panther growl at the end of it.
That is a great commercial series.
Well, he old Keith looked like he was from North Florida.
It's a good country.
I'm telling you.
There was a dude.
I'm not going to say it.
I saw Joe Exotic today, though.
I could have sworn it was him.
He didn't have that picture, did he?
No, but I looked up as a good night.
You look just like the Tiger King.
That boy still lost for love, man.
What's he got, Hunter?
Yes.
My name is Ken Collier from Copper Hill, Tennessee.
I have a question for Johnny D.
Oh, boy.
Do you color your hair or do you color your beard?
it looks real dark for some reason.
Thank you.
Love you guys.
Bye.
That's a very personal question, sir.
Why he sounded like Bill Danz's neighbor?
Who's the name, Ken?
Ken?
I've been to a barber twice in the last 10 years.
I shower if I get sweaty.
I do not have any desire or time.
to color any beard yeah yeah now if you Ken if you were here you'd be able to see the streets of gray
there are I am getting some grays in the beard not in the hair yet but uh I pretty much as natural as it
gets now there are a couple of people here that have colored their beard hey time out are you okay
no I got something in my eye but Arton's eyeball is falling apart mid-episode everybody
a funny story got something in there but Phil made everybody color their beard one year yeah
Yeah, he got on Godwin, yeah.
No.
Oh, yeah.
Godwin had that thing.
I remember Godwin died the...
It's paranoia.
He did it too.
I remember Godwin having the black goatee for a year.
No one didn't do the just for me and deal.
He didn't do that.
He went to a hair salon.
Yeah.
And they died it in camouflage streaks.
Yeah.
Season one of Benelli presents duck commander.
If you can find that.
Yeah.
He made everybody die there.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, all the ones were right.
Oh, hey, look, if, if, if a man will
get a can of black spray paint and you cut a film off of the blind and he you're next time you hear
you hear you know what's crazy until psycho ikew smoking he never had the color his
well it was always stained anyway that's a true story you go back and look at it you can tell when
cyquette smoking that old yellow beard yeah had the yellow beard somebody asked me how you were doing
uh the other day so i said he's doing really good he carries his i
with him now, but he's doing good.
Oh, why does he need oxygen?
I said, Winston's.
To breathe.
Not two packs a day.
Yeah, it'll do it too.
To breathe.
You know?
Hey, guys.
My name is Bryce.
I'm 20 years old.
Millen's kid.
I'll tell you where I'm from at the end.
But I just want to say, love the podcast.
I always listen to it.
I were guessing through the day.
I started listening to
it while I'm in bed.
And so instead of counting sheep, I count the amount of times Uncle Si says, hey, puts me right to bed.
But the question I've got is, if you had to fight a cartoon character, who would it be and why?
Me personally, I would go for a foghorn leghorn.
He'd beat you.
You know, if I beat that sucker, I'm frying him up right afterwards.
Yeah, that's my question.
A rooster.
I think he's from California.
He's from Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Sorry, I was too slow.
Oh, thank you.
Where's he from?
California, originally.
Now I live in Utah.
Thank you guys for the entertainment over the years, and God bless.
I have a question.
How are these people listening to us at work?
How do you do that?
I mean, I say these boys, delivery drivers and stuff all the time.
got podcasts.
Yeah, my UPS guy and my FedEx guys.
Yeah, okay, that makes sense.
Yeah, all the time.
I think, yeah, warehouse workers, stuff like that.
That's better than, yeah.
Mowing grass.
I mean, when I mow grass, I listen to a podcast.
That's a good call.
So there's all kinds of things you do listening to a podcast.
Anyway.
A cartoon character.
That you would fight.
He went with what, the rooster?
Yeah, fogg-old.
Leger.
There I'll say, I'll say.
I'm going Wiley Coyote, man.
You are never going to beat that guy.
Well, that's why.
Because if you do, you're a legend.
You know?
Like, if you beat Wiley Coyote, you're a legend.
That's what, that's, I'm going with him.
I'd have to fight a Skeletor.
When I was a kid, I hated that sucker.
Who was, Skeletor?
Skeletor, you know, on He-Man.
He-Man, Skeletor.
You don't know, with the purple cape?
Yeah.
Yeah, pull him up so I can see him.
So I don't remember him.
I don't know, Skeletor.
Skeletor, scary.
You're braver than me.
Oh, okay.
All right.
He hates his tail whipped.
He needs his tail whipped.
That was the last thing I expected you to say.
Caliator makes total things.
I used to watch He-Man every day.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What about you, Hunter?
Hunter's going to say something weird.
He's going to say some kind of Japanese.
No.
No.
I don't know.
I didn't.
Anime character.
I didn't think about it.
I was preparing this for y'all.
What?
Well, I mean, you're, Hunter, you are us.
I'm going to go with Sesame
Sam because being old Sesame Sam's going to have a gunfight.
Yosemite.
Yosemite.
I thought he was about to beat up Big Bird.
No.
It's not even a cartoon.
Yosemite he's going to have a gunfight.
To be fair, Big Bird whoopside.
That's a big bird, man.
That's a big bird, boy.
He is a big bird.
I'm going with SpongeBob because that is the worst television program in the history of man.
It's never been funny.
It wasn't funny when I was a kid.
It's not funny now.
unpopular opinion and now my kids watch it and I hear that stupid laugh and I want to fight him.
And I know I'd win.
We want to fight boys.
Yeah, sometimes the TV will still be on Nickelodeon because Paul Patrol was on or something while they eat or hanging out.
Paul Patrol way cooler.
What kind of thing?
But then it'll swap to SpongeBob and I never watch SpongeBob anyway, but now I'm like, now I know why.
It's not, it's not any good.
Like, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
I never got it.
I don't get it.
Always been against it.
Yeah.
SpongeBob people.
Can you let us know why?
There's SpongeBob people.
Oh, I know.
If it wouldn't, Nickelodeon wouldn't still run it.
But yeah, Paul Patrol, I'm more, I like the boys' cartoons, actually.
Paul Patrol, Rubble and Crew, Bluey.
They're all good.
They're better than a lot of the stuff we had growing up.
Oh, Scooby-Doo is pretty good.
Scooby-Doo was good.
Yeah, Scooby-Doo was good.
But I ain't taking on Velma or nothing.
Well, yeah, see, like I like the Ninja Turtles.
I got the guy that plays poker with me.
he's always doing Scooby-Doo laugh.
Oh, boy.
Rett-Row, Raggy.
That's hilarious.
Every time he gets a good hand,
he gives him.
Hunter, did you give us an answer?
Who are you fighting?
I don't know.
I can't, I can't think of it.
You watch more cartoons than any of us.
That is, that is probably true.
He can't think of anyone that we would know the character to.
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
That's it.
Almost said Bluey's dad, but he's too nice.
He is nice.
Bluey's dad would whoop you.
No, he's too busy playing with them kids, man.
No, Blue's dad's savage underneath.
