Jacob just got back from Canada. You don't need a federal duck step in Canada. It don't matter. You need one here. What did you do in Canada? Shot ducks? All right. Welcome back to the duck call room.

And we're back. Yeah. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. Are Canadian ducks nicer than American ducks? I don't know. They're definitely dumber. I'm going to say, I don't know if I can speak on their emotional beings. Well, did you have a good trip?

Yeah, it was fun. Yeah. Is that your first time to the Great North of Beth's homeland? Oh, yeah, it was my second time. Second time. For hunting, second time for hunting. Okay. Yeah.

So how was it? It was good. Good. Do what? Did you go there before for something else? Yeah. You just visit Canada off? I went with Willie.

Oh. You know how that goes. I think all of us have been places with Willie. I've been to Canada with Willie. The only time I ever left the country to go north. First time I was ever in Canada was with Willie. How'd that go? That was one of the coolest things I probably ever did.

Oh, there you go. Just like the place I went to. Yeah. Sometimes you never know because sometimes they'll just go lock himself in a hotel room. You don't see him until you leave Canada. That is true. Seeing that. When me and Willie were in Canada, I traded an autograph of Willie for two racks of ribs

and three large portions of Poutin. Poutine. And he was like, where did you get all that? I said, don't worry about it. Yeah, it's not a big deal. Did you have like a stash of autograph things to do that? No, I'd just walk up to him and say, sign this, and then I'd come back with food. Yeah.

It's a great deal. He's awesome. A food truck with Willie Robertson and your presence. You can make things happen. There you go. That's cool. Good ribs too. So how many, what would you say?

I'm just curious, a preview of our duck season based off of what you saw in Canada. What do you mean, a preview of like how it's going to go down here? Uh-huh. Was there a bunch of young ones? Was there a lot of babies? Were there not so many? Was it, you know? I think we hit it as a weird time.

I think a lot more people south of us like an hour or so, like not the ducks that pushed down to us a week earlier. Okay. So I would say, yeah, I know a lot of people that were smashing them down south. Okay. But we missed a cold front by like a week. I mean, I think a coal front came through there the week before we got there. There you go.

But there's a lot of ducks up there, so it's kind of hard to... Isn't Canada just one big cold front? It was like 40... I'm just saying it was 40 degrees when we were there. Oh, no. I'm out. Leave me here. That's cold?

Oh, yeah. I want to shoot the ducks that are in Jamaica. here in a few months. I've seen the movie migration. That's where they're headed, according to DreamWorks. Pixar. Oh, man.

So those are the ducks out. If you want to shoot ducks here, make sure you got your duck stamp. Head over to duck stamp. com. Get that done. That way you're not that guy on opening or gal.

You need a duck stamp here in America. You need a duck stamp here in America. So get it. Take care of all the legalities and get back to it. And help preserve the ducks for future. Do you kill anything cool up there? Like cranes or?

No. geese or nothing just standard duck hunt just standard duck hunt nothing crazy but it was fun like i went with my grandpa and he's 82 so there it is that's good it's my brother's my dad and my grandpa and my cousin oh so family true it was family oh that's awesome it was awesome like just had my grandpa up there he's the one that taught me out of hunt like took me to kill my first deer so it's like what he think about was that his first time to Canada or is he no he's been deer hunting up there never duck because he's one of those guys that said i never had to go anywhere to shoot duff They were already here, like when he used to kill him.

Well, boy, ain't them days changed. Yeah, it has. It's a lot different. You used to hunt a lot of Beth River back in the day. Oh, yeah. I still do. Yeah. Si, you excited for duck season?

Eh. I was waiting for Cy's first lines of this podcast. Have you been to Canada? Have you been to Canada? I've been to Canada. But not hunting? Not hunting. Not hunting, yeah.

I went up there with, uh, one, Billy Graham. What's Bill Graham's son? Franklin? Franklin. Yeah. Jimmy? No, Franklin. No, he's football player. We actually... Talk about a name drop. Oh, you know, my good buddy, Billy Graham's son. We actually watched a bunch of veterans come in on a plane. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awesome. Really cool. Yeah, and ended up catching a bunch of salmon and all that kind of... Oh, yeah. I watched the bears catch the salmon. Yeah. I didn't catch any salmon. I watched them catch them. Yeah, you watch them fish. Yeah. You don't want to get between a Canadian bear, and all that kind of... and their dinner.

I don't want to get between a Louisiana bear and his dinner, much less a Canadian one. Oh, you were talking about it's open now, right? They got a bear season? Yeah, you can draw for it.

Yeah. You draw for it here. 25 human beings in the state of Louisiana can go shoot a black bear. I wouldn't care. Yeah. Yeah, me and them ain't got no problems with us. Yeah.

Yeah. Bear skin rug, not my thing. Yeah. Hold on. What? Of all the things you would do with a bear, a bear skin rug is the coolest. Yeah, but I'm so hot natured.

I'm not going to go cuddle up by the fire on a big rug. And it's also Louisiana. So, like. If I got one, I'd make one of those hoodies like the Lost Boys did and Peter Pan. Yeah. And put the bear head on top of my head. You'd be straight out of Jeremiah Johnson, too. That'd be so cool.

Halloween's coming up. You know how hot you would be in that thing? I would sweat through it. Bear ain't very good. Tasting? Yeah. It's just a giant. It's got a stout, strong flavor.

Yeah, man, I've looked at him and I don't. I don't get inspired by table fair when I see him. I'm like, I mean, I, you know, kind of. It's like purple, isn't it? I hear, I don't know. I've never shot one. It's just stout. Yeah.

He just doesn't look like something I want to eat. Yeah. I had a guy that, Arkansas, he went all over the world, killing stuff. Yeah. We had caribou, we had bears. What else do we have? I just had a buddy He killed a caribou.

Yeah, but it was pretty good. He'll he kill one. Yeah. Yeah, he killed two of them, yeah. Aadbu's pretty good eat. Yeah. I don't know about no bear. The, uh...

That is real stout. It's like I'll get it to me. You don't know. I got it. I don't got it ain't no good. It's good. I like it. Oh, it's stout.

It's stout, too. Hey, frogs are good, too. I got something I cook for you. I went to the local processor this morning, and he gave me some duck sausage to try. Oh, no, I had some of that. That's good. Yeah, hordes I have that.

I'm so glad you've told us now. Hey. What, me? Yeah. At the processor? Yeah, do you know that everybody knows you were at the processor this morning? Well, they took a picture with me. The women did. Oh, yeah, I remember where it was now.

It was a honey break. Oh, yeah, there I am. That's me with the women to buy you butchers, baby. But can we talk about the perfect placement of your head and their logo so you have antlers? That's why that cat moved me. I didn't even realize that. I got to, even the top comment was perfect.

placement with I got to laughing at the honeyhole. Yeah. I said, Barton's at the butcher's shop. Hey, look, here's my sausage in my hand. He looked like the devil, boy. Martin's just a young, two-year-old deer. Oh, I'd be got, son. If I was a deer, I'd have been dead.

What are you talking about? I'd have never made it. You're a foot taller than everybody in the photo. At least. And you've got horns. And I got a good laugh at there. They had deer deer beets, small one.

Okay. You know, and I don't care for that, but the deer sausage, the duck sausage, the duck sausage was excellent. Yeah, I got, he gave me that this morning, so I'm, I'm letting it thaw out right now. I'll eat it. No, it's good. I've had some. It's good. It's good.

The, no, it was, I'll say this for Bayou Butchers, and this is not a ringing endorsement of them. I mean, it obviously went there. I do think they produce good work. I've been in a, I don't know how many different processing places through my, career. Like when you shoot deer, when you're out of state, you take them to process or donate them to a lot of times you pay for them to be processed and then donate them to like the local food bank and stuff because they're just inherently hard to travel back with. Yeah. So it's our way, it's our way to give back to communities when we go places and hunt animals and all that stuff. That is the cleanest

place I have ever been inside of. Really? I thought you were about to not give them a ringing endorsement. No, I'm just saying what I'm saying is like they don't partner with a duck call room. They don't sponsor me or nothing like that. But what I'm telling you is I went in there and got the grand tour of the place. That is the cleanest processing place I have ever been in. I mean, it was incredible how clean it was. And it didn't smell like most processing places have a very distinct aroma. Yeah. I like, I go to the one, uh, sometimes in Rocky Branch. Oh yeah, to drive through deer process. That one's got a smell. Yeah, by the time you make it. I walked in there and I was like, I want to ask you how you're eating McDonald's in this room.

right now. Yeah. But people say the same thing about me next to all those worms. Oh, last time, yeah, last time I went in that place, that lady was sitting there with a plate of fried chicken. And I said, how are you eating lunch inside of here? I mean, the smell was just, I was like, uh-uh. It's the smell of a butcher shop.

Yeah. We got a lot of good ones here. But that place right there, man, is. And they got a photo op and you get just beautiful. Oh, yeah. I don't know this kid, never met this kid. Kid, if you're watching. Great haircut, man.

Great haircut and great deer. next time maybe put her tongue back in her mouth. That's all right. The tongues are always a weird part for me. Generally, if I'm about to take a picture of one, I cut the tongue. Yeah, I did that. Just so it ain't there. No, it was super clean, so I'm looking forward to it.

My buddy's son shot a dough and a little buck this weekend, so I dropped it off for them. They were going to be indisposed and asked if I could do it, so I took it up there and dropped it off. That's awesome. Yeah. There's nothing like a good butcher. Fear processor. And this guy, so this guy did a crawfish bowl for us

when Kevin Van Dam was in town fishing. The KVD. Yeah. And so that's where I really learned about them was he brought some duck boudan that he made and threw in the crawfish bowl. And that stuff was so good.

I said, I'm going to hit y'all up come the fall. Like once we get to shooting some things, I'm going to let y'all do some work for me. So that's why I said it's not a, I don't know, right? Like, this is my first time I've ever given them any of my business. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up.

You know what that means. That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what, because of our friends over at Triedells beef, makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson would say,

buy on the grill! Look, before we got Triedells, getting ready for a cookout, I mean, 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 Triedales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales 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 ribbons 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 Tritails beef.

I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat me. She ain't a big meat eater, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash. support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Si, you ready to go to Wisconsin? Me and Sai and God would leave tomorrow morning to go to Wisconsin.

No, we just got this one today. And then we got like a week off because y'all are world travelers. Heck yeah, man. We get to go where the, hey, weather's going to be nice. High is like 60. That's a good event up there. It is, man. They do a lot of, they do a lot of good things.

What is it? Life Camp USA. They got like four different entities of it. But it's a major fundraiser for the one they call Life Camp USA, which is where they take children, fallen service members, so whether it is Army, all the way to local law enforcement first responders,

if your child is lost in the line of duty, you can, they apply for them. And then they take them out for like a week of man camp or if it's a young lady who, and they lost their mother. So they cater it to where the kids are dealing with the same kind of deals. Yeah.

And, yeah, share the gospel with them. They are very faith forward. And so me, Sai, and Gobbon for the, this is our third time there. It's our second year in a row, but I think it's third time there, are going up for their auction and fundraiser and a pheasant hunt. Are they auctioning off, Si? I hope so. There's like time with them.

You don't get to keep him. Not for the right price. You probably keep him. He don't mind. Do you? All you got to do is promise to return me to my wife. There you go. Return to cinder.

Yeah, there you go. Turn to cinder, boys. At least every so often, huh? Yeah. Well, we like him here at least twice a week. You haven't hunted any yet this year, huh? The stone, have you one picked out? Well, no, we went down for dove at a honey break.

I had, you know, the whole bunch killed like over 200. So it was a good doe hunt. then you went till hunting down there right yeah i went till hunting and it was we killed six one day and then i was six so i i told stone y'all go where i'm out and i laid it up but now that you've turned into a deer hunter in your and your prime here i'm looking forward to deer hunting this year we got a lot of uh nice deer that needs to be shot taken down does he have uh one named for you yet Oh no, we got one way after. What's his name?

Oh, Big Red. Big Red. I got to get him before. I got to get him before BK or Sage. Good luck on that. Yeah, if that's the case, you're out of luck. No. I'm just going to let you know they have their deer tags.

Oh, no. I'll get it. BK. And Sage both. They're ready. They got plenty of tags, huh? Yep, they've got them printed and are ready to roll. I ain't sat in a deer stand yet either.

I'm about the. stupid hogs are what's driving me crazy. I'm ready for... Y'all got a lot of them on clay. They always do like this. When the farmers first cut all the fields, they show up for a hot minute. For a free meal?

Yeah, for a free meal. It runs them out of the fields and runs them on to us. But they'll move on here eventually. But yeah, for right now, you're just trying to feed deer, but you're feeding pigs. This is pretty aggravating, but, you know, whatever. You got to see Tombo.

Tombo killed a four. 400 pound one in allah. 400 pound pig? Yes. Oh. Yeah, I got one about that side. I got one bore that's probably, I thought he was a bear the first time I saw him.

Like, I was. I thought he was a black bear the first time I saw him. And all I had was a 28 gauge with me. Oh, that's like, this ain't enough, boys. Oh, that ain't enough. That's a four sackloaded. I said three bear. You saw three bear?

Yeah, a mama and two a cup. And two babies. I thought it was hogged at first, and then when they got to talk about it, I said, no, I said, wait a minute. And Drew said, well, we got them both, hogs and bear. And I said, well, there was something funny about the way they was running. What is it with you and black animals? I follow you, don't they?

Well, I just looked, and I looked over and I said, God, that goes three pigs. And then when they got the talking, I said, whoop, let's back up once, boy. They ain't pig. I knew there was something wrong about the way there was really. You sure it wasn't a panther with babies? No, no, this was too, this was a mama bear.

You can tell a difference between a panther and I, come on. But it was cool to see them. No. Not a hog and a bear. A hog and a bear, hey, there's, they, hey. From a distance, they do. I'll never forget that time I was driving down Arkansas road and that bear stood up and looked at me. And I said, what was that?

No, no, no, no. A buddy of mine, okay, in German, okay, he went to Russia. Oh. And shot him one of them, sure enough. of wild boars. Oh, one of the boys. I thought we were going with a big old grizzly. This guy is about

6, 8, probably 425. You ever met anybody like 5'10? No. Yeah, a few people. Everybody side meets the concedent of Goliath himself. Hey, look, this guy, I thought

he was on his knees. 6-8-4-25? Hey, 6-8, 4-25, look, and no fat. But anyway, I thought, thought he was on his knees and i said jake you on your knees he said no i'm standing up son he killed one and looked the thing weight a thousand pounds russian boar yeah and look he shot him five times with a 308 and you know that size that bail okay they trailed him for like you know seven miles he

finally died but this thing you're talking about how big was it huh a thousand pound a thousand pounds. Yeah. And Goliath's brother. Oh, no, he's chancel. I got a little buyer's remorse. I just bought a 308. I mean, this past weekend.

Y'all, this thing was unreal. I wish we had a picture. Of that? Was it? Well, you could, but it doesn't exist. He reminded me when I was in a teenager, it would go to the state fair. And they'd have them big hogs in there

that would be like longer in that table. and weight like a thousand pounds. That's what that picture reminded me up. Best friend was a spider. It made me think of Charlotte's Whale. Hold on Wilbur. Look at this.

If you go to Hogsilla on Wikipedia, that's a biggin. That one weighed over a thousand pounds. That's a bigan. I think they're about to put his corpse in that hole. That's a big. That's a big pig right there, buddy. That's a biggin.

Yeah. That one was... That's a great biggin. that one was alleged why has it got to be a legend we have a photograph right here how much it weighed 12 feet long and weighed over a thousand pounds

it was also originally considered a hoax or urban legend until but the animals remains were exhumed oh we pulled the corpse out in early thousand okay we got to stop

I'm gonna have to tell the corpse story so okay we're We're going to tell him that next. In March 2005, they confirmed that he actually weighed 800 pounds and was seven to eight. How do you get its corpse and not know that he's how long he was? Can't you just measure that? Dinosaur. Put him back together.

I like how we can't figure out how big a pig was in 2005, but we know that some dinosaur was 2.4 billion years. There we go. Come on now, science community. I'm calling a little question because we don't. Hey, McGraw-Hill was lying. You remember that book, that science book? Hey, as a trained scientist, I always had an issue with stuff being around 300 million years. And they're like, oh, it was, you know, it was this weight and had purple eyes.

And I'm like, but the pig that died when I was 18 was somewhere between 7 and 12 feet, and we don't know, even though we dug it up. Interesting. Even though we exhumed him. We exhumed him. Also, we might have to exhume Dublin, is why we're all laughing. I know two gentlemen that researched a lot of stuff in the Bible. Mm-hmm. And all these scientists that are talking about, oh, 14 billion years ago.

I just think there's some things that are unknowable. Yeah. I'm looking at that. Like, they're just, I mean, maybe, right? Maybe it was 14 million years ago. Well, here's the same. But I just, I don't know how you with any certainty can say. Oh, no.

Well, why don't you just tell me the truth, okay? You're an educated man and you made a guess. Yeah, we used to call it a S-W-A-G. Yeah. Super wild guess. You know, you just said, well, here's what I think. Yeah. You know, because I know some people that studied the Bible and traced from Adam to Jesus.

Yeah. And, hey, why would God put all these people? people's names in there and then actually say this cat lived 1,200 years, this man lived 800 years. Which, by the way, is that not wild to think about? Yeah, that's crazy. Imagine if like that were still a thing. Uh-uh.

No, past. I mean, we would still be, we would all, including Silas, would all be children. Yeah. Do you know how many? Yeah, no, I'd be in. That's too much. That's what I'm saying. Like, we still, we still technically on the teeth.

Yeah. The point I'm making is, okay, hey, God put it in his word, specific years that these people lived. Okay, and two people that I know of that spent a lot of time in research doing it, and they come up with, hey, the math don't lie. Numbers do not lie. They come up with, hey, this earth is about 7,500. years old. Is that your beard on your microphone? Is that what I'm here?

He's great. Who knows? Do you hear it? Who knows? Oh, yeah. It is. I can't confirm. That's what I'm here.

That was Cy's beard. I literally tried to do it and no noise came out and then Syge shook his head. No, I was just trying to figure out what this weird rustling was. I was like, wrestling. Is that a dinosaur about to come out to ground? I didn't know what the weird rustling was. I was trying to. I was trying to figure it out.

But no, I mean, there's just some. Some things that are unknowable, right? Why? Who was the politician that said that? Huh? The guy used to say, hey, there's some things that are knowable, and then there's some other things that you'll never know. There's things that are known.

There are things that are unknown, but then there's also things that are unknowable or something like that. Yeah. That is a deep quote. Google. Maybe it was Walt Whitman. I have no idea. I don't, Jayce used to quote it all the time.

I don't remember. I mean, good night. Something. You just can't figure out. Yeah. I mean, but what is, yeah, I just don't, yeah, I always struggled with the 300 million years ago. I'm like, man, that, that, that's, that, that's, that just stop. Like that.

There's no way with any degree of certainty. You don't know what happened five years ago. I know. And now we can't even count a ballot. So like, you're telling me that we can go back and count that. Like, I'm just saying, I got a big trust issue when it comes to humans. Well, I, I'm saying, uh, the, the, uh, the, carbon dating thing.

Yeah. That's interesting. They went through this and then the guy said, well, oh, you got, that won't, that won't fly. Yeah. Unfortunately, I had to pass test on all those stuff. Because he went, you know, that's out. You're going to bomb, bomb him in talking about finally, finally you're going to run out of carbon 13.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, then, wait a minute. That makes your, uh, guess, a guess. A guess. A guess. It's flawed. A true.

Yeah, it's flawed. Scientific theory. Oh, hey, why not you? We found out they had been lying to us for years. Who's they? Well, the scientists. Oh. Oh.

Bill Nye, I knew it was you, Bill Nye. They gave us a gift. And hey, you know. Yeah, they did the best they could with the information they had at the time. But at the same time, it's not. Well, what tickles me is one little animal do everything out of, out of whack. That sheep. And that's the duck bill platypus.

Doug Bill. I was talking about Dolly. Yeah. No. Wasn't that the sheep's name? He can breathe air and he can also breathe in water. And he lays eggs. And he has a beat like a duck.

And when they came a phone. Or is it a bill? Now, talk about an exotic pet that would be cool to have. I would take that to the vet. A duck bill platypus. If I could walk in here with a duck bill platypus on a leash, that would be cool. We should talk to Curley about that. We should get an emotional support duck bill platypus.

There's all kinds of bar stories about how a guy walks in the bar with a duck-built platypus. Hold them. Now, that is an exotic pad I can get behind. Yeah, that's right there. It's only in Australia? Of course it is. Yeah.

Can they adapt? Look at him. He's venomous. Oh, no. Well, that's fine. What kind of wild Australian? Hey, he loves crawfish. That's what it says?

No, no, he does. He loves crawlsfish. That's one of his, you know. That's what he feeds off of. What do they call crawfish down there? Yabbies, something like that. yabbies yeah wow

education man isn't it fine throw him up there real quick I ain't seen him in a while let me see him he's cool sorry I was isn't that awesome

oh goodness hey look at him look at that doesn't he have a tail like a no he's had a bill it's right there in his name now he's like a backwards beaver

yeah that's what I'm saying I thought he had oh yeah you know he looked like a beaver that was walking backwards he looks like a mix of a lot of things yeah that's awesome What is that thing?

So you gotta get one. An emotional support. Dupbill platypins. Let's get a water tank in here and put them in there. Don't they like sweat milk too or something? What? They lactate. I think we gotta end the show now.

I don't know that we can recover from that question. They sweat milk? Yeah, it was something like that. Like, uh-uh. Gang, we're about to learn so much more than you ever bargained for. Look it up, boys. Listen to us. Am I wrong?

Where's Martin going? I'm getting some water. Martin's just leaving. Oh, we got to. a water machine over there. Martin's getting it. I don't know. It's water.

Most of the... No, I think what you're thinking of is they lay eggs, but they also have milk for their young. I don't think they're sweating milk. Hippo sweats pink. Really? Martin is saying out right.

He did not know. Martin has... It's right. Hunter's right. It's something about milk. Milk. That's a duck mill plattable. That would have been handy to have three years.

Hunter's right. Hunter. I told you it was right. They ain't got no teats. Oh, so you can't milk them. So you've got to sweat your milk out to feed your babies. Interesting. Y'all telling me this was just by chance.

Me and Olivia have had many conversations about the platypus. How did lactation come up with you? Yeah. The offspring. We're just talking about platypus. When he said it, I knew how he said, he's got something. He's right there. Or he's got something.

That is the wildest thing. I have it ever. So when they start sweating, they sweat milk. Yeah. To feed their babies. Because they don't have no teets. Teets or teeths? Teets.

Teets. Well, I don't. Do they have teeth? Teeth's a weird one too. That's such a wild-looking thing. It really is. Think if you saw that thing sweating milk. Yeah.

Think if we're walking in here right now. Walked in here would be crazy. Seeing that thing open that door would be the wildest thing I'd ever seen. We've got to get Robert Irwin to bring. That's one. I'm telling you, that is an exotic pet that I can 100% get behind. That is exotic. I love the way he's shaped.

He's got the duck bill, and then he goes on the back of him, and it looks like it's a beaver. I know. They only weigh five pounds. Yeah, they're little. That's what I'm saying you can sit here and hold him like. I thought they were like the size of a basset hound, which would be way cooler. Yeah. They're kind of shaped like one.

No, you want him, man, where you can hold it. Like a little wiener dog. Legit. That would be a good fit. See? Yeah, that would be a good fit. See, we're on to something. Now we've got to get in the black market trade of duck-billed platy pie.

I don't think you can bring one of them across the ocean without. What's the plural, hunter, since y'all have had these many in-depth that says it platy pie? Duck-built platypus for kids. Can we get one off the Silk Road? I'm going to go with platy pie. That sounds fun. That sounds fun. Platy pie.

What do you call a group of duck-bill platypuses? Flat of pieces? A good dang time. That's what you call it. Plata pieces. It's not a flock because he just has the bill. What do you call a group of beavers? I don't even know.

No, that's the thing. I know. I know. You know that. The beavers? Yeah. I don't know the group of beavers. I know a group of crows is a murder.

A group of beavers is a colony. A group of geese is a gaggle. Oh, man. I'm so excited for what I'm typing into Google. What is a group of? A group of duck-billed platy pie. Oh. What are they?

Australia is just doing a good job with this animal. Y'all really need to market this thing some more because I might go there just to see one. He's way cooler than a koala. A group of platypuses is called a paddle. A paddle. Oh, that is cool. A puddle. A puddle.

But it is platypuses. I saw a puddle. It's a puddle of platypus. Look, here's a picture of a cartoon. Well, it's a puddle. A puddle of platypuses. Oh, yeah.

And there's no milk anywhere. Well, those are babies. Mom's sweating out, though. There's on some other. So do you think they, like, drink from under her armpit? I wonder where her sweat glamp hunter. Is it on the back? It's all over.

It's all over. Like, we're licking on toes here? Like, what are we doing? Wow. Too far, man. Why? Milk. I'm just asking.

That is nasty. Like, could you imagine? That is crazy. Like, I sweat out something totally different. That is crazy. Hey, just think you could just get some sweaty milk. All right. Folks, if you got a platypus,

you're more, if you own a platypus. Right here. 117, Kings Lane. Westmanola, Louisiana. Raise one, two, nine, two. I see it. We want to play.

Yeah. Yeah. Beth, look, we've got people on the edge of their seats. Crawfish. We're a learning podcast of science. What do they eat? Never saw us.

to platypus today. I didn't either, but I'm so glad that we did. Larva worm, shrimp, or freshwater, crayfish, otherwise known as Yabbies. Yabbies. We are so much more. Oh, Dad. Hey, we're definitely smarter than a fifth grader.

I don't know if we're smarter than a sixth grader. We're definitely smarter than a fifth grader. About something, even though Hunter didn't get the 32 degree ice joke earlier. Yeah, really failed on that one. That was before we started recording. But he knows that. How do you miss that? one but you know that a platypus sweats milk.

Interesting. So before we started, we were talking about water and the temperature of which you would want to drink it at. And I said, just make sure it's not 32 degrees, you might choke on it. And Hunter goes, wait, really? And I was like, huh? And Martin said that's ice hunter. I can have my blonde moments sometimes.

I'm proud of you. You can, but it's just crazy that. Does the Munro Zoo have a platypus? No. We should do it. If they do it, we should. break any matter. You gotta go over on one. If they do, we're busting over.

I got one in San Diego. San Diego. Did you say that a platy, platypuses? Platypuses. Oh, okay. It is platypuses. It only gets weird if you slow it down. It's making sure I'm saying it, right?

Are they like more in Australia? They're only in Australia. Only in, oh, okay. Unless there's a couple of them in San Diego that relocated. Can I tell you my favorite Australian, in fact. Depends. I don't see why not.

Great. I have a microphone. This is America. I'm worried. Have you heard of the emu war in Australia? The emu war. The emu war in Australia of 1932? Yeah.

Yeah, I've heard of it. Have you? Okay. I just Googled it as well. Oh, really? Oh. I'm very quick. They lost the war against the emu's, not once but twice.

And it is one of my favorite stories of Australia. They lost a war against what? Human beings? Emus. Yeah. They were trying to control the populace. population of emus. Australia.

And then they couldn't. Then they tried again later. And then they lost again. And it's one of my favorite things to read about. Because they don't have guns. This is avioles? Emus. Si,

the good folks of Australia lost a war against birds. They look like ostriches. I mean, they're big birds. Not the big bird. But don't ask me the temperature of ice. In 1932,000... They had a war with birds and lost. How do you lose that?

How do you lose a... Oh, it was a bird. Would you like me to read about it? I just want to know how you declare a loss. We're difficult to kill. Shoot them in the head. Yeah. They have guns.

The birds could survive multiple shots and were incredibly fast, often outrunning vehicles. All right, Tina at Heavy Shot. We're friends. Hold on. I love you. I want to go shoot Emu's with Heavy Shot, Heavy 12, and show these Australians how you win this war. Hold on, but they didn't have this. I will eat the emus, by the way, for all you that just jumped

the car. I can't believe you said, we'll skin them and we'll eat them because they got to be good. This was 1932, though. I understand. But the emu still didn't have a gun. Yeah, they didn't have a gun. Yeah, but I'm not saying the emus were fast. But in 32, we were in the First World War, so like the M1 Grand was available, right? Boom, boom, boom, boom.

They did kill 986 of the emus. So technically, how did they lose? 98 people died. I'm just kidding I totally made that up That's not true That was what to say This is crazy

That's as true as a man right in a giraffe Got that mighty They didn't really go to war I don't want to hear that They did Did the emus know it was a war? The emus had no idea Did they claim their flag somewhere

Like Ayers Rock Isn't that a big deal in Australia Hunter? Why do we know so much about Australia By the Apparently one day just 20,000 emus showed up Because of Crocodile Don D.

20,000 and they only got 900 of them? Hmm. I mean, they don't fly, do they? You just wanted them getting a Model T and run it down? They don't fly, but they're fast. They just snip them. What kind of cars do we have in 1932? Apparently down there, Subaru wasn't there yet.

I don't know, man. Fastest car in 1932. When was Outback Steakhouse founded? Mm-hmm. Because that's awsey. That would be the first one. Remember when their cheese fries were really good, now they're just pretty good?

Yep. Well, they're still cheese. At the end of the day, they're still cheese. Their mac of cheese used to be really good too. Oh, mac of cheese. Oh, man. They had the shell. We're learning so much.

If any of you know. I've never been more proud to not be Australian than right now. Whoa. I agree. Well, you lost to some birds. You let a bird. It was nice. The rest of the world was fighting a world war.

Yeah. Not once. And you're down there getting. whooped by 20,000 emus. And you conceded. You almost got beat by one ostrich. It's all I'm saying. He did run me in my truck.

That's all I'm saying. But I was also asked not to shoot him. Yeah, that's, if it were, if it were just street rules, I'd have had a dead ostrich. That's it. But like,

I was asked to not do that. So I did everything in my power to honor the request to not shoot the ostrich. Also, just, you know, because I know a lot of questions have been coming up this episode and we left somebody hanging.

the Outback Steakhouse was founded in March 15th of 1988 so after the Emu War No rules just right Apparently there are rules When fighting emus though And the fastest car in 1932 Could go 140

Wow 140 I don't mean it made it down there yet Well the Emil could not run that Yeah that would run an emu down And just leave him A bump in the road At some point don't you just go bowling There used to be some emus on green road

Now I'm worried for my safety Really? Did your uncle used to to raise emu? He did. Mac. He did. Ostrich. Ostrich. Oh, I thought he had an emu. I was once the nephew of a man who owned an entire ostrich farm. There was one rule when you went to the ostrich farm.

Do not put your finger through the chain link fence. It will not come back with you. They take your finger on? They have teeth. Have you seen an ostrich? Yeah, but... Yes, I have. Closer than most. Without a fence in between us.

Yeah, I've only seen them with a fence. And ostrich is like a modern-day raptor teradactyl mixed. Okay. That's one way to put it. 300 million years ago, that'd have been something. They are big. I've seen one up close. Then they're mean.

They are mean. They look mean because they are mean. I've heard one of their eggs too. He had his bluffing. Yeah, they're by side of the eggs. I've eaten one too. I've ate their eggs. They're good.

You remember that show figured out on Nickelodeon? Uh-huh. And where they would have to figure out what the kids were doing. with their lives. My cousin was on that show, and it was like, Callie Owen grew up on an ostrich farm. And they didn't get it, and she won a trip to space camp, which is also probably a lie.

Really? Just space camp. She went there, but, you know, what are they teaching? But yeah, no, we had an ostrich farm. Not we. My uncle did. Unbelievable. Did they make boots out of the ostriches there?

Yeah, he had so. But ostriches can run 44 miles an hour. Yeah. Faster than me. You know, them long-legged rascals are you? Yeah. I'm telling you, I saw one at Point Blank Rane. He ran me into my truck.

Was he taller than you? He felt bigger than me. I didn't stop to measure 6-5 versus whatever he was. I don't know. Wikipedia has apparently gone European on us. It's got kilograms. I don't know how to convert it. They got three toes.

What? He did have some toes on him. I mean, hey, you know, Mac got one of them. dumped him. Yeah. Knock him down. That's what that one did to Miller. He rear back and kicked him.

Yeah. They do like a forward kick. Yeah, yeah. Boom. Right in the chest. And Mikey did kill him. Yeah, Mikey did kill him. Mikey did not honor the request.

Mikey did shoot the ostrich. Yeah, that was about 10 minutes after he ran me in my truck. An ostrich can get up to nine foot tall. Yeah. He was big. That neck was up there. Yeah. What do they weigh?

They got to be. All I know. All I know. Did you imagine? Did you imagine? a lion and an ostrich fight, I bet PBS has done it. PBS may have done that.

Ostrich killed lions. There you go. Ostrich killed lions? Is that what it said? No. This is going to be AI again, and hunters are going to have to correct me. They choke them out with their neck.

All right, here's it go. I'll just kick the piss out of them. That Jaguars got that ostrich by that neck and that foot is just thrashing. This is a wild YouTube video. And why is it not up on the screen? Why are you the only one watching it? It's me and Sire watching it.

I don't care. It's like me versus Jeff and Jessica's cats. I'm just kidding. Wait, which one are you? I'm the ostrich. Their cats are everywhere. Oh, they got a bunch of cats. They're going to be it.

They turn into crazy cat people? Uh-oh. I don't want to use the term crazy. Isn't that a colloquial term? I mean, that's like a term of endearment. They got a lot of cats. Cats. We'll leave it at that.

We'll just going to leave it at that. There's your cats. There's got cats. I don't get cats. I don't either. Unless it's like a big cat. I just don't trust them. I think cats are good for killing rats and snakes.

Anyway. I'm out on cats. Martin, I've got big news. Big news. Hello at duck callroom.com. Uh-huh. I got an email. And it's weird that they emailed it on the weekend of your children's.

Birthday? Third birthday. The Martin twins turned three this weekend. They did. Yeah. We had us a grand old time turning three. It was a celebration, if you will. Yeah.

But every once in a while, a subject line catches my eye, and this one did. Hunter emails in. Not this Hunter. Careful. Different Hunter. We don't know where. Yeah, we do know where he's from. Do, oh, I don't even know how to pronounce that.

Delonga, Georgia. Dalenega. There is. No, no, no, no. It's Dalenega. A dive bar in Dalenega. Hunter. I went there.

That's not how they said it. Hunter. Oh, boy. Uh-uh. Did you send an email while you're there? No. Did they sweat milk there? It called it DeLogna.

Oh, I can't even say it. Delo Glegnut might. That ain't the way they said it, he said. There's a town in Georgia with a silly name that Hunter's from and Hunter's been to. Am I wrong? Who knows? A semi-famous country in Western song that's called a dive bar in Dalenega. It's a semi-famous country.

He's pronouncing it wrong then. Who's Nick? Yeah. My friend that I've, I've, lives there? Yeah, I have two friends in Atlanta. I went to a wedding and I visited them. I was a groomsman.

And continue with your email. Okay. All right. Anyway, there's a strange town in Georgia that I don't know how to pronounce. That hunters from. But the subject line is weird dream about Martin. I'm sorry. Oh, you will be.

Uh-oh. Why somebody's around me? I just wanted to warn Martin because I had a dream the other night. Okay. Where he had. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Stop. Stop. Twins. Hmm. That ain't no happen. I don't think it meant anything at all. Hunter goes on to say, but just wanted to let Martin know to maybe take some extra precautions just in case. But buddy, I don't know what extra precautions Martin can take.

Yeah, there's not a lot more I can do. If this is the Lord's will, and he told it to you in a dream, man, it's going to happen. I just hope you had, it was like... So now it's your twins or three. Are you ready for another set? No. That's where we're getting...

No, I was going to say, I hope it was maybe just my face on like John Luke's body or something, and he got the news of them announcing their twins confused with me or, you know, I don't know. I don't... People are dreaming. I love my boys. People are dreaming about you having another set.

Look, I love... Georgia of all places. I love my boys. and now that they're three, they are a lot of fun. Like, it is, you forget about the first 15 to 18 months where it was just survival. And now they are a ton of fun. I don't want to go back to those first 18 months, man, I don't.

What would you describe the first 18-ass? It's a blur. Like, I don't remember much of anything. I mean, we had our first Jackson chipped a tooth this weekend at the pumpkin patch. Yeah, they got that big. like Bob looking thing. Bob's sweet.

Yeah. So, but, you know, there's a bunch of kids probably seven to ten on it. Three-year-olds run that thing. And Jackson said, oh, I'm their size. Watch this. And went up there, it wasn't long, bumped heads with another one, come back. We've got a piece of a tooth missing, you know. The whole tooth will leave at some point, so it's not that big of a deal.

He was fine. He cried for just a hot minute and then, you know, the attention span of a nap. Let's go do this. And he was gone and all was well with. of the world, you know. So, yeah, I don't want, I mean, if it is the Lord's will, there's not a lot I can do to stop it. I just like, so it doesn't matter.

You need to take extra precautions. Yeah, I'm not doing that. I've done the precaution I can do. Ain't going to go. Other than, other than that, I'm not going to do the steps to undo said precaution, but I'm not taking any more. I mean, what's been done has been done. So, but thanks, I guess.

People are dreaming about you. That's cool. Really? No, I don't, I'm, mm-mm. What in the world? I don't even dream about me. I haven't had a dream of Martin. Yeah.

But, yeah, we can wrap it up. I know Si's got to go, so this is going to be a little bit on the shorter side. Hold on. Is Sae having twins? Oh, I hope not. I kind of hope so. That is scary because that Malvern, Arkansas is not far from here, is it? Mm-mm.

No, Malvern ain't. A mountain line got ran over. Oh, yeah. All that. Yeah. You got roadkill just outside. Malvern's just outside Hot Springs. That may be the one guy

one talking about on his trail camera up there. Because that's where he deer hunts right there. Oh, that's terrifying. Look at this thing. I'm scared of it even though he's laying in the road. Yeah, he's a big one. That's a good one. That's a good cat there, man.

That's a good one. And Martin doesn't believe we can have him. I know we got him. Did you see how brown he was? I've never denied the existence of brown. on cats here. We're just talking about the black cat, the firework shop. Yeah, it's the one that's on the...

What happened. I had a few emails to go through that day. Allison, great name, from Bloomington, Indiana. She got a weird snake. She's got a weird snake. It's named Sid. It's a pet ball python. Why would you name it Sid?

We have an infected bird. And he wears a sombrero. Oh, well, that's why you name him, Sid. You've watched way too many cartoons, lady. Cumbaros on a snake is objectively hilarious. And shouldn't you name him Speedy? That's a... Speedy Gonzalez?

That's a mouse. I know, but Sid was also a sloth or whatever he was on Ice Age. What was the snake's name on Robin Hood, the cartoon? The one that was like the prince's like little company guy. You know what I'm talking about? Oh, man.

You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. He gets like drunk and they show him in that wine bottle and he gets like... Yeah. He has a little hat. He has that little hat on. Time out of a snake got drunk.

What was his name? His name was his? Robin Hood, the cartoon, is one of the greatest cartoons of them all time. Yes, it is. Robin Hood's a fox. Prince John. Little John's a bear. Prince John's a lion's.

Oh, that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He gets mad at him and, like, shoves him in a wine barrel, and he comes out and he's, like, spitting bubbles. It's up there with Min and Tights. That's such a good one. Long live the king. A drunk snake, man. That's funny.

Don't want to run into one of those. Those. No, heck. Anyway, we got to go. Yeah. Size got to leave. First of the day, this is the most simple I can make it. Psalm 3414, turn from evil and do good.

Seek peace and pursue it. There you go. Amen. And you know, the most peaceful thing I know? Sleep. A duck bill platypus. Thank you. There's got to be given good lives.
