What is that?
Oh, okay, we're back, people.
Hey, welcome back to the Duckballroom, wherever you're listening from.
Give us five stars.
Hashtag like and subscribe.
Send us into it, Martin.
I don't know why I felt like being a radio morning DJ to start this one, but I did.
Hey, you walked in, you'd been listening probably like Bobby Bones on your way in,
and he just felt like you wanted to be a part of it.
I can appreciate that.
What was I listening to in the way in?
But I do, yeah, we have snacks.
So I figured I'd go ahead and get this out of the way now.
Pass them around.
From our friend Josh in Washington State,
their duck season's about to open,
and he said,
I just want to send y'all some of my favorite blind snacks.
Blind snacks.
Spoiler alert, the back of Dodge pretzels is no longer in here.
I may have opened this yesterday.
You can't have Dodge pretzels anyway,
but now when there are some double smoke smoke sausages.
Double smoke.
I know that's a Johnny D thing too.
That is a Johnny D thing.
And, Sa, you're the only person I know.
Hey, we got cattlemen.
That would eat chocolate-covered cherries?
Fruit.
Oh, perfect.
So here's cherry.
Do you want milk chocolate?
Truffle cherries or milk chocolate?
Oh, yeah.
You just want cherries.
I'll throw you want to eat.
Okay.
These are from Washington.
Here you go, bud.
One more.
The label says Washington.
Washington.
And then I don't know who would ever want to eat these, but I'll save them.
Recy's peanut butter.
cupcakes.
What was that?
No, bring that back out.
We got the peanut butter.
What was that?
I don't know.
Resey's peanut butter flavored cupcakes.
I can't sign off on it.
I've never seen them, so I just, I wanted to be the first one to try it.
Is that like a Racy's Little Debbie?
Wow.
Congratulations.
Now, it's not Little Debbie, so I feel like it's kind of like kissing your sister,
but Miss Freshly, Miss Freshly may be good.
I don't know Ms. Freshly.
How much sugars in that?
You know?
Miss Freshly versus Miss Debbie.
How much sugar goes?
I am drinking a coffee.
What a life.
Because I tried to say conglomeration.
Yeah, I can't do that.
35 Gs.
That would give me quite the spike.
Yeah, that'd be fun to watch your little app though as it goes up.
We could take bets on how high it gets.
Yeah.
We could put like an overrunner on it.
My chart would be.
How funny would that be to start like sports betting on Gawin's sugar monitor?
I got a problem, so I wouldn't participate.
I'm at, I don't know.
It actually looked like a candle.
Let's see.
How is it?
Pretty good.
Washington knows how to make a double-smoked mission.
How's your cherry, Sigh?
Excellent.
So duck season in Washington's looking on the up-and-up for our friend Josh.
So that's fantastic.
Good for you, Josh.
I appreciate you.
105.
There you go.
Is that good?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know that life.
But we're back.
It's another day.
What have you guys been doing?
Another day.
Well, today my boy's turned one.
Hey.
So that kind of dates our, that kind of dates what day.
we're recording this.
That's crazy.
Your kids are one year old.
A whole year.
Well, at 1059 and 1101, they will be one years old.
So we still got like an hour.
But we did it.
We did it.
We did.
First year's down.
First year's the hardest, right?
In theory, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
And for their one year old birthday present, they got RSV.
So that's cool.
Yeah, you have a big time.
Yeah, it's been fun around my house.
Well, good.
Yeah, a lot of fun.
but that's where I'm at.
I never dreamed we'd be here.
It seems like the longest and shortest year of my life all in one time.
I know y'all have all been through it, but still very new for me.
We were at the doctor this morning, as you can tell by the snot on my shoulder.
Yeah.
Oh, it gets better.
That's where Wayland Barry's face to wipe his nose.
That doesn't change.
Yeah.
They can be 10 and they're still using your shirt.
Oh, yeah.
They come to look for you.
Wipe that nose on it.
So Martin, you got one-year-old twins.
One-year-old twins.
We did it.
Yeah, it's over now.
It's all downhill from here.
I have noticed he's got gray or hair now.
Who, me?
Oh, yeah.
I'm not going to attribute that to the kids.
I'm going to attribute that to Brittany.
Uh-oh.
I didn't know where you're going.
I got grayer and less.
So she can't, she, they can pick one.
I don't know if it's.
I found a black hair in mine other day.
Whose was it?
Paula picked it out.
I said, would you pull that one for?
She said, well, it was wild.
I said, it is wild.
It's not supposed to be that color.
I just figured there's somebody else that doesn't sit up in there.
It was yours.
You may be going the reverse grade.
What if yours turns black as you get over?
What's up movie that guy?
Benjamin Button.
I might be a Benjamin Button.
Is that possible?
Absolutely.
Once you go gray to go back color?
I don't know.
We'd have to ask our friends at Nutrafol that study hair.
I'm not sure on that.
That's something I don't know.
Yeah.
Well, guess what, boys?
Chicken squat.
PBS is back.
Oh, he's been sitting over there awful quiet.
He's been having something in his phone box already.
Yeah, PBS, the title of it was ancient earth.
Oh.
Ancient Earth.
Frozen.
I ain't going there.
Did you let it go?
Hold up.
Did you know 850 million years ago?
Okay, according to PBS.
This earth frozen.
over.
Froze over.
Well, I remember I'm saying something about ice age.
Yeah.
That was a good show, too.
That raccoon is hilarious.
Squirrel.
Whatever he is.
Hey, hang it.
They said the oceans were a half a mile deep frozen.
Okay.
That's incredible.
280 divided by two is...
Not to go against the public broadcasting system.
22,640 feet of ice?
Yeah.
And the first thing that popped in my mind was,
I wonder what the earth weighs today.
Okay, and he may have looked it up on Google.
It was something like a trillion billion tons.
How much the earth weighs?
I would like to know what it weighed back when it was frozen.
Well, you got to take an account.
Do what?
What it was what?
When it was flat.
Or is it?
No, it's never been flat.
Never been flat.
It's always been a basketball we live on.
Just making sure.
It's flattening out because of the weight.
Yeah.
But I'm going to say something that might not be popular here.
Are we just guessing at all this?
Who weighed the earth?
Well, no, no, because look.
Yeah, where's that scale?
Before they start stuff like this, they need to say, okay, here's our disclaimer.
We're guessing.
Okay, this is a theory, in other words, and another word for theory is,
hey, I got a guess about what happened here.
Yeah.
Yeah, we used to call them a swag in school.
Yeah, as a biology major.
What does that stand for?
Scientific, wild guess.
My whole life I've heard our great minds say,
okay, a single cell amoeba crawled out of the salt water.
That's how everything began, J.D.
That's the rumor.
First thing I thought to myself was, okay.
Yeah.
what are you doing that?
What are you doing?
850 million years ago.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were picking up rocks and stuff and testing them.
Every time I see those deals when it's like this many million years ago,
I don't even, where, how, why?
What are we talking about?
Yeah.
Like, it's so unfathomable to me.
I'm like, I just, I can't wrap my head around.
If they could figure that out, I feel like they'd be able to find
some tree sap with a mosquito stuck in it, you know.
I figure it.
Oh, it ain't treasap.
Take that out.
Presto, Dino, D.N.
No, no.
They found it in rocks.
Well, I figure, like, for real, if we can figure that out, how can we not run a balanced
budget in this country?
Whoa!
And how come we get?
We're talking about simple math.
Yeah.
And why can't we?
The math that they're extrapolating for, I'm like, if we got that many brilliant minds,
why ain't you on Washington, D.C.?
Let's get back to zero.
Let's get that balance sheet back where it needs to be.
Well, like, you can't put it in that.
Well, never mind.
Hey, y'all get the meddling now, boys.
Well, it's just the stuff that we take as truth.
Yeah.
Because a scientist said so.
Yeah.
It's weird, man.
It's wild.
It's a wild deal of how the human brain works.
No, no, because here's what got me.
Here's what got me, okay, because just over the hour that I watched, okay,
about the frozen earth.
Okay, they had about all,
probably 30 different people
from 30 different universities
talking about, okay,
the frozen earth 850 million years ago.
Okay, so it just, you know.
Some of that stuff is...
But some of that stuff is weird
because, like, you know,
me and Galvin go to Wyoming just about every year.
And there's one hillside up there.
Like if you walk up on it, there's like fossilized seaweed.
5,000 feet.
And we're talking about, man, that's way up there.
Yeah.
So at some point there was water.
Oh, oh, no.
At some point there was like fish schooled on the edge of that shelf, which is kind of weird to think about, especially down here.
Yeah.
Because we're at sea level, essentially.
And that one's a mile up the, a mile above our heads, there was sea.
weed. Almost like there's some great event.
Figure that out. Like a flood.
It was actually like this earth was actually covered with water one time.
And then the water got hard, apparently.
Yeah.
Or maybe it started hard and then it melted.
Now, that was only like 7,000 years ago.
Here's one for you.
Okay.
Not 850 bigillion.
Go to.
Time is wild.
Let's feel Alabama and go east and then turn on the paint road, paint rock valley road and go up in the mountains.
Oh, I know where we go in here.
Oh, no.
Look, you would think, okay,
Paint Rock River is at the bottom of the mountain.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, in the 20s, it went dry.
Well, the house I lived in,
guess what my water came from?
Where?
It came from a spring.
And guess what the spring was?
At the top of the mountain.
Hey, it was 10 yards from the top, the peak of the mountain.
Because I had to go up everywhere.
once in a while and cleaned the screen out
that was tied over my
water pipe. It's a good
thing you remained active.
No, no. Oh yeah.
Oh, yeah. I was right.
I ain't a hillbilly.
I learned that.
Because the coal fair, hey, it was a chore
to cool up and clean that screen out.
That was a three Winston Walk, would it?
You got to think about this.
Okay. Common sense would dictate
that if you had a
spring, that it would be at the bottom of the mountain.
Yeah, at the bottom of the hill.
Yeah, at the bottom of the hill.
Uh-uh.
That's the top of the hill.
Let's go all the way to the peak and come 10 yards down, and it's about 8-foot circle,
and the sand at the bottom of this thing, which was about 8-foot deep, would be bubbling it up.
Just coming out of the ground.
Ice cold, sweet water.
Oh, yeah.
This ain't hard water.
Artis.
Oh, yeah.
And this is the finest water.
ever made, okay.
The river went dry, okay,
and in the 20s, guess where everybody
got their water, got drinking water?
Top of the mountain. Top of the mountain.
And the stupid river went bone dry.
Why's the river got to be stupid?
Well, hey, I'm just saying it.
Hey, what did you do? What's wrong with this
picture?
Gravity. The river at the bottom of the mountain
is dry, but the spring
ain't, ah, it's at the same level
and stayed the same level.
So how did that water come out cold since the middle of the earth is hot?
Hey, don't let, hey, that's another one.
Look, I'm telling you, man.
There's all that.
Put that in your pot smoking.
I feel like that's what we've been doing.
I'm very confused.
I felt like I missed a darn good chance.
Oh, no.
Hey, I love it.
Oh, man.
I love it.
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 Tritels 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.
Tritels 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 Triedails beef.
I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat.
She isn't a big meat easier, folks.
Yeah.
Just go to trybeef.com slash.
That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.
It is wild to think about it.
But like time is one of those deals that's, it's, you know, it's just weird.
Yeah.
Like, time is weird.
Yeah.
850 million years ago.
Eternity.
Like.
Say what?
Yeah.
It's more than that.
Hey, it's time.
No, there ain't no time.
You're talking eternity.
So do you, side, a question for you, you watched all that.
Where do you stand on Ice Age?
Did it happen?
The movie?
Well, yeah, because, hey, look, it, ice is over here in Louisiana once in a while.
Very rarely,
but hey.
I was just curious.
I mean, it's one of those deals
that's just weird to think about.
Because whole earth turning the ice.
Yeah.
So what happened to make it do that?
I don't know, but hey, there's ice in space.
And then what happened to make it melt?
And melt.
Oh, I know what melted it.
Uh-oh.
The sun?
Nope.
Gas.
Alian.
Ha! Ha!
You're on tent.
Hey, come on volcanoes.
Hey, PBS told me that last night on ancient Earth, son.
Volcanoes.
That's right.
It was froze over at one time.
Then it has to be another catastrophic event here.
An asteroid?
No, nope.
Hey.
Volcano.
I tell you, volcanoes.
I'm thinking of that, does anyone know how many volcanoes are on this earth?
Don't know.
Why would I?
I think I'm...
Hold on.
I was studying that last time.
I've probably seen it on PBS and I think it's 15.
15.
Active.
Like 25
on active.
That's it?
Yeah.
Man, I would have said.
That way you got that ring of fire.
There's more than 15.
No, no.
What it may be?
But I have 15 stuck in my mind.
What about all them?
Oh, JD's fact.
1500.
50s on Earth.
Is that being?
1500.
You got to add 2 Z.
I had 15.
You were off by 10.
Oh, I was off.
How many are in the United States?
That was good in math, Jady.
That's all right.
No, no.
Look.
That's around 50 to 70.
Look, if you check...
70.
But that's from the British geological survey,
and their numbers are different than ours.
But if you check, I guarantee you they're situated in Pacific places.
What?
Kind of like Claymore's.
No, no, no, that's just my...
Do you think when this thing gets wired up to just blow up there
in enough places to just destroy everything?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
When he gets ready to get rid of all, everything,
Hey, he's just going to open a valve, baby.
And this baby is going to melt.
The first time he came with water, the next time he will come with fire.
Yeah, baby.
That's biblical.
And burn up.
That used to be size line.
He said, I don't know about global warming, but I can guarantee you it's going to be hot around here.
Oh, yeah.
It's his place, baby.
He said, the book of Peter says it's going to be hot around here.
It's going to be hot.
What?
Wow.
I didn't know what we're going here today.
What do we really?
When you look at it, you got to think about it.
We got a thin crust over this ball.
That is not true.
I once dug a hole at the beach.
Oh, no.
Very deep.
Oh, no, we got a thin crust, baby.
And hey, in the middle of this ball, what is the magma?
Magma?
Magma.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a ball of hot fire.
That's what?
Coming up.
them volcanoes.
That's what blows a hole in the crust there once in a while.
And then you got hot rocks.
So the earth is like a pizza.
Yeah.
Boy,
I love both of them.
They're both very round.
In shape.
But when you think about that, that's wild.
Yeah,
we ought to be careful about blowing up bombs on it.
It's the old thing about in the movie where the guys were putting coals on it.
and then didn't put enough dirt on top of it.
Oh, you saw it right off.
Yeah, saw it right off.
Didn't put it enough dirt on it.
Yeah, my Johnson.
Greatest mountain movie of all the time.
Hey.
But you got the thing about that.
Didn't put enough dirt down.
We got liquid fire right off.
Inside this ball we're living on.
That's true.
That once froze over.
Yeah, that once froze over.
So what happened to that?
That question, that question was, as soon as I said, okay, it froze over, I said, okay, think about the weight.
what kept it up there in the orbit.
Well, how much of a weight shift is there between liquid water and hard water?
Oh, a bunch.
A bunch.
Is it?
Yeah.
I would say it is.
Hard water is more stable.
Is it the same?
It's going to weigh the same.
But it's not the same size.
Wait a minute.
Hold it.
Hold it.
Hold it.
Holt.
Density gets different.
Weight is going to stay roughly the same.
It's going to stay the same.
Because the salt is going to come to.
the top. That's insane. It's a weird deal. Yeah, that's insane. Science. Well, what weighs more?
A pound of, a pound of feathers or a pound of water? Yeah, no, yeah, it's a pound to pound.
Yeah, okay. So liquid water and hard water is the same. It's going to be the same. I would
thank you. The density is what changes. Yeah. In my mind, it would make it heavier. I feel like.
Because the weight is actually going to spread out more when you freeze it, because it's going to go like
this to freeze and then when it melts it's going to come back like this so that's why you're
thinking that the weight would change because it's going to shift the coverage yeah yeah and then pull
back down but is are you smarter than a fifth grader still a show with jeff foxworthy i don't know
i ain't say nothing that jeff foxworthy in years you should go on that show martin i know i think you
i was like i think so but you were like let me just go ahead and explain i used to have that game on
my phone and i was not smarter than a fifth grader a lot were you not no absolutely
That's a crying shame.
But they're teaching stuff in fifth grade.
If that really's happening in fifth grade now,
a lot has changed since I was in fifth grade.
Like,
I don't remember learning that much.
Ron, Bill, Ron.
Yeah, they're teaching, you know.
We got to keep up, man.
Yeah, well, I'm about to, I'm not,
I'm staring down a barrel of being back in it.
No.
He's not, he's not smarter.
His kids are going to be smarter than you.
I hope they are.
Oh, no.
No doubt.
I hope they're smarter than me.
No doubt.
I sure'd like to retire.
I hope they're smarter than me, stronger than me, faster than me.
I mean, there's a lot of attributes I'd like them to be.
If my kids can't run faster than me, they're in trouble.
I bet they can't jump higher than you too.
They can't jump higher than me.
And they really don't.
That's where wisdom comes in, son.
I can't catch you.
But guess what?
I know you'll be back.
You got to come back here.
That's right.
You got to come back because you'll get hungry.
You'll get thirsty.
Yeah, guess what?
When you come back, I'm going to whoop your butt.
And you know what?
You can't spell wisdom without SI.
All right.
And on that note, let's take a break.
Science episode.
We'll be back.
I know it.
I lost Electron another day.
What?
I lost electron.
Can you be sure?
Yeah, I just have to keep an eye on it.
I thought you were going to say, yeah, I'm positive.
That was for Martin.
I was with Johnny.
I was with Johnny.
I'm so confused.
Oh, boy, we're getting deep today on this podcast.
Just keeping an eye on it.
Oh, yeah.
You've got to keep an eye on it, boys.
Are we deep?
We're deep.
Are we so shallow?
Yeah.
The world will never know.
Oh, boy.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Spell.
Who?
Spell.
Spell who?
W.H.
Oh, there you go.
That's a laughy-taffy one for sure there.
Laffy-taffy.
Laffy-taffy.
Where do you get them at?
Out of them, what's that?
Where do you get a Laffy Taffy anywhere where candy sold, sir?
Cracker Jack, box.
Speaking of that, how many of them Cracker Jack box?
Is that too old for you?
No.
I remember a Cracker Jacket.
They didn't have jokes in them, did they?
Yeah.
Do they have jokes in Cracketacket?
I thought they had little toys and stuff.
They did.
I remember getting like.
The jokes on the wrapper.
Oh, I thought that was Laffy Taffy.
It's the name Laffy Taffy.
I thought.
Hard to say.
Really?
Yeah.
Maybe Cracker Jack changed.
I don't know.
I don't.
I have a computer.
Buy me some peanuts and some cookies.
Unfortunately, all my tabs are.
I had them caramel.
The song Time by Hootie and the Blowfish.
How many active volcanoes are there in magma?
Magma.
These are the things I search whilst I talks.
I love it.
That's fantastic.
Hey, it's all good.
The third guy long as fluid behind my ear is going to stay.
What?
Gobin got fluid behind his ears.
He shakes his head real fast.
He gets like drunk.
Hey, go click your plane, right in your fix it.
No.
That sounds like a terrible.
That's what I done it.
Apparently there used to be a book in Cracker Jack boxes.
Really?
Yeah.
It did.
Yeah, I got one.
I used to like the jokes in the middle of Reader's Digest.
Yeah, they remember.
I never had a Reader's Digest, I don't believe.
Man, we're talking about all the old stuff.
Now we hit Paul Harvey last week.
Now we're on Reader's Digest.
TV Guide, baby.
TV Guide, baby.
Oh, you used a TV Guider.
Oh, we had a TV guide.
Remember you used to call, get the weather?
Yeah, time and temperature.
Yeah.
All that stuff, yeah.
There's still a time and temperature, but it has like an ad for a bank at the beginning of it.
Well, you got to pay for it somehow.
Yeah.
Somehow you got to pay for that landline.
But then the...
It's weird to think about it.
I remember looking up movie times in the newspaper.
And then you had to go to the movies to get a ticket, to go to the movies.
Yeah.
And there wasn't a reserve seats.
You weren't here.
We haven't had an episode in a long time together, Martin.
Were you aware of how many...
Movie theaters have recliners in them in this world?
I would have to go to one to find out.
And I couldn't tell you the last time I graced the presence of a movie theater.
Everybody was sending us pictures of the blinds and they're like all in these nice chairs like they're at my house or something.
You ain't been to the picture show?
Which one?
Any of them.
Yeah.
But I mean, we don't have the fancy movie theater.
Do we have recliners here?
No.
Not recliners, but they do in Creeport at the IMAX stuff.
It blows hunters over there going
Yeah, they do
I drive to Shreveport for movies on them too
Yeah
I drove to Austin, Texas
To sit in a big chair
I haven't seen either
I didn't know
They went out for the sushi
Yeah we haven't seen
To you know me and size
Stopped at the largest
Bucky's in the world
And it's in Tennessee
Was it magical
Severeval Tennessee
Yeah
Did you go to the Little Debbie
Theme Park?
We swung by
But then we had a meltdown
With the boys
They did not nap
The intention was for them
To nap upon travel
that did not happen.
Travel with children's always an interesting.
They didn't like you driving.
They didn't like you driving.
No, they used to be like the car seat was like an instant nap and they're to the age now where it's not, they want to see everything.
The news war.
Are they still facing backwards?
Backwards?
Still facing backwards.
I remember those days.
We're out of car seats.
We're in all boosters.
Really?
What's that like?
It is one of the greater joys.
life. Once you're done with it because they're like, hey, you open the door, they climb in,
click. You don't have to buckle them or nothing. They can do it. That's crazy. Of course,
that also means they can get loose a lot easier too in there. So they want to start any mischief.
There was some mischief on our little road trip. Oh, we went on.
Because they're fighting. Well, Carter, we've, you know, he tried and train the boy to take care of
his own stuff. So it was like, hey, if you want your iPad in the car, get it, get a charger. He left
to charge her.
Oh.
He gone.
It's dead.
So on the way home, they get them back out.
Lottie's got hers.
She had her charger.
And then she finally decides to tell Carter, well, oh, you can play with mine.
It's dead.
So she's a jerk, right?
That was really rude of her.
The next thing I know, Carter's done, he's done snuck up.
Like, we're going 80 miles an hour or so.
And he's in a different seat.
So then we had to pull over and have the whole talk about why we wear seatbelt
so we don't end up, you know, plastered to a tree on the side of the road.
Yeah.
I used to ride in the back of the trip.
Yeah, I did too.
Standing up.
Standing up doing weird stuff.
I'm still here.
You know, it's weird.
Our entire baseball team, we'd go practice, hit the batting cages before,
and then we'd drive, like, the two miles to the fields down Arkansas road.
All of us in the back of one truck.
There'd be 10 kids.
Yeah.
Yeah, now the thought of that would.
You get you arrested.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That's like going on a bag, bag swing.
My favorite.
Everybody on jump on.
A what?
A bag swing.
Bag swing.
You put a rope, a big pond country.
Yeah.
Put a bag on it full of stuff.
And then you'd have it.
We had a shed that we pull up with it.
And then everybody would jump on.
The only time when the rope broke.
That'd be a burlap bag, by the way.
You're talking about rough.
About the 15 kids on it.
swing and it goes up and it always breaks at the peak.
Like the car at the rodeo, clown car.
So you're just trying to be on top.
Oh, yeah.
You didn't want to be on the body.
Yeah, you don't want to be the first one to get on it.
Did y'all have a tire swing?
Oh, no.
No, this was a burlap bag.
Burlap sack.
Full of old clothes and junk where it would be soft on your butt.
That's...
Well, something needed to be because burlap, anything but soft.
Oh, yeah.
I fell off the tire swing one time and it hurt.
Oh, no.
I fell from like 10 feet in the air probably.
Oh, I fixed, hey, it was higher than that was us.
And, hey, it was about 15 kids.
I remember one time I was a husky kid, you know, in that department.
That was one time?
Well, yeah, but I've just talked about one time jumping on trampoline and thing,
a dry rodded, you know, got close to edge, do a big jump.
Well, when I did, go.
You went through it.
You know, but, you know, gravity worked where I was, your inertia, whatever you want to say.
I was going back up, and I'm looking down, and I'm like, it ain't there no more.
Uh-oh.
It's got a big old.
I'm staring at my fate of going to the ground.
I'm like, oh, it's not good.
Not good.
It's tore.
You know what else I used to do?
What?
When I was a kid, we'd go out in a field and play football when we tackled each other.
No helmet?
No helmets, no pad.
And then we'd get tired.
We'd go to the old woman's house that lived by the field.
drink water out of a water hose.
Crazy times, man.
What a time to be alive.
Water out of water hose tastes better.
When them street lights come on to our house,
mom got that whistle where she puts her hands in her.
You could hear it all the way down at the end of the road.
Me and Clark look at each other like, uh-oh.
We supposed to be home 10 minutes ago.
Oops.
Well, Mama come out there and holler and you'd holler back and it'd be all right.
Like the original Marco Polo game.
Yeah.
Either she'd say,
get home or he got about 30 minutes.
Yeah.
You're talking about that.
Remind me the, what's the good-looking woman on Beverly Hillbillies?
Ellie Mae.
Yeah, hey, hey, she could bust your head drum, whittlet.
You was there?
Oh, no, I'm better.
And, hey, she's done it.
Oh.
And I'm talking about, hey, I'm half-de-f anyway, and I went, good grief, woman.
She put her hand on her lips and...
Yeah, that's why mom is.
She's sticking them too fast.
fingers right there.
I don't know how she does it.
She never taught me that school.
I never could make it work.
Yeah.
I can't whistle.
Like at all.
And that right there is why you got to get a running start at that duck call.
But I can.
I can suck in a whistle, but I cannot blow out.
I don't understand it.
Never been able to.
Maybe you need to stand.
Let's take a break and get in that mail bag.
We'll be back right after this.
I was just flipping through emails here.
and this is a wild one.
What happened?
This is just wild that this is even possible.
Hello at duck call room.
com.
There it is.
Send us in your thoughts.
Send us in your questions.
Send us in whatever you want.
There you go.
And we'll see.
Who knows?
You may be like Sarah with an eye on the end.
Is that just Sarah?
Sarah.
Sarah.
Sir I.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
She said, my husband and I
love listening to your podcast here in Tokyo
Wow that's cool
And then she said
So I was reading the British newspapers
And she saw a picture of Uncle Si
Timeout
Yeah
Her husband and they're big fans in Tokyo
And she's written
We're a world live man
Newspaper
I was trying to make that all
That goes back to 850 million years ago
I'm just trying to make that all make sense
Yeah
And she said
We seriously love you guys.
And if you'd like any snacks from Japan.
Absolutely.
I don't know what snacks in Japan are.
I don't either.
But yeah, sure.
Do it.
I've never really met like a hefty Japanese man, though.
No, wrestlers.
That's a great point.
They have good snacks.
Yeah, they got to have some.
Send them, Sarai, Sarah.
But anyway, here's Sae in the British newspaper.
What were you doing?
Who's he with?
Oh, Smith & Wesson.
Yeah.
That's a dad deal with Kylie.
Santa Claus on my right.
As Santa Claus on your right?
Who's this guy?
Santa Claus.
He's not Kyle.
Conish Kyle Dingwall.
So you went to the grand opening of Smith and Wesson's new headquarters?
Yeah.
What were you doing there?
Hey, did you tell them to start making MTCs again?
Kyle paid him to come up there.
Oh, yeah.
Our friend Kylie's a big head.
He's a CMO, yeah.
He sells guns and Smith and Wesson.
Yeah.
And I actually got me a model 10.
38 special.
Whoa.
That's pretty cool.
Snub nose or what kind of barrel you get on it?
Four inch.
I wanted the 38th, but that's all right.
It's all right.
All right.
Are you ready for a question that only you can answer?
Yeah.
Are you ready?
Do you like cherries?
Love them.
No.
No, they look like a chip on.
I was about to say, oh, Al, but he's next to me.
He got 14 cherries.
You just ate the half a pack of those.
in like two minutes.
It's okay, Johnny D.
He'll work it off because he's very active.
Very active.
You weren't here for the last episode.
I said,
I was in my recliner time.
I said,
how do you eat a gallon of ice cream a night?
And he was talking about eating a half of an apple fritter
that was the size of this table.
So how are we not having to wheel you in here?
And he said,
that's easy.
It's because I'm active.
You're active?
Oh, yeah.
Since when?
Yeah.
Thank you.
You sleep more than my 14-year-old basset hound slouts.
Yeah.
And that was a lot.
Hey, I actually need it or I wouldn't see it that much.
He needs it because he's so active.
So active, he has to risk.
Now, with that being said, and I said this for the podcast,
I said the point I didn't get to make was, look, at 75,
I hope I can do the stuff that Cy does.
You ain't lie.
I'm not saying he's not, for 75, he's not in a very good shape.
I just.
Act is a strong, time.
That's what I was...
We had to redefine actors.
Yeah, that's the point.
He said, tell me your day, and I said, well, I sleep till about 10.30 in the morning.
Yeah.
All right.
Like most active people do.
Then I get up like any normal human being, okay.
Walks to the recliner.
Walks to the recliner, and then for about two hours, turn TV on.
Then he goes, walks to the kitchen, has lunch.
That's right.
Then he goes and gets back in the bed.
Oh, it takes a nap.
Then they're going to take by afternoon now.
Okay, which is anywhere from all 12, 30, 1 o'clock to about 5.
Active.
Anyway, back to your question.
I don't even know how to recover from that.
And he's finally had time to chew all of his cherries, too.
He's got most of them out of his mouth now.
He can answer that.
He was three in its cheek.
He putting them things in like him old cowboys putting them plugs of tobacco.
He just stuff in cherries in there.
They said they were really fine.
He said they were good, boys.
Saigo moved to Washington on us.
All right, Elijah emails in.
Most people call him Eli.
He's from Ohio.
He's a junior in high school.
Okay.
Has a question for Uncle Si.
Since mid-August of 2023, two months ago?
Two months ago?
Month and a half.
He's been dating this girl from my church named Emma.
Uh-oh.
And I wanted to know if Uncle Sai has any advice.
advice about dating a blazing redhead.
Though she is a very sweet girl, she has plenty of fire in her.
And I would like to hear what Uncle Si has to say.
Danger.
Move you, Mike.
Danger real, Wverson.
Danger.
Danger, Eli.
That's right.
Danger.
Danger.
No, hey.
Good choice, son.
What's the woman's name?
We ain't got the woman.
Emma.
Oh, Emma.
Yeah, we do.
Emma.
Hey.
Fire red head.
Hey, look, you're never.
ever have a dull day in your life.
Eli and Emma.
That's right.
Marry, Eli, and hey.
He's seven.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, son.
He's 17 as a junior in high school.
Well, I didn't say, hey, dated for a couple of years.
Hey, dated for a couple of years.
Now, hey, then make him move.
Go ahead, take the woman and make her your wife, son.
Yeah.
And he did on with it.
Sigh in on them redheads now.
That's it.
Yeah, don't lose the redhead.
Oh, man.
He's been, though.
I don't know if him.
he is but hey mine's mean well he says she got plenty of fire yeah i think that's the point i think he's
he's probably got a little meanness to them and uh and before we go to the next break we're still
getting tons of it the blind got extended for like another week yeah people are still going people
are still we might have to do like a whole episode or something of blind reviews because i've got
hundreds of emails about what people thought where people went and saw it it's crazy
how many people have seen it and where all it's been.
People from every state, it feels like, are sending in emails.
So that's really cool.
People are how they love the duck at the beginning.
Yeah, a lot of people have said that.
Yeah.
Yes.
Man, that took like two weeks of filming to get that one shot.
That's what's got.
And it's a miracle that we got it because, don't tell you,
that cameraman was out in the bald open.
It was, the good Lord just.
said, you know what, I think this movie needs a duck to die on it. I'm going to give it to them.
Okay.
Thank goodness. That's where that started.
It needed it.
Yeah. Anyway, let's take our last break, and we'll just stay in the mailbag for another segment.
We'll be back right after this.
All right, Martin.
What's up?
You've struck a chord with the listeners.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
This could be good or bad. I'm not sure.
It's good.
Oh, okay, good.
The problem is you said you were going to, you needed to sell them, or I don't remember exactly what you said about
Christmas CD. Oh yeah. Yeah, absolutely. But everybody's asking. And they get one?
How to get one. Yeah. How to get one. Let me figure that out. We're going to figure that out.
Because it's not on Spotify really anymore. If they'll pay shipping and handling, I will send out at least the first 200 request as long as they pay shipping and handle it, which is not guys, it's CD. It's not going to be much.
What are we sending? The Christmas CD. The Christmas album.
Oh, we're trying to get this baby from platinum to double platinum.
Now, I don't know if there's a time restraint on that or not.
No, we've got some.
So let me figure out, let me work with Jennifer and Angela on how to.
A lot of people want that on how to do that.
Because we can't do that through the hello at duckcallroom.com email.
That would be, that's a travesty.
So we'll figure out.
Boy, I feel like that was a little bit of a shot at me.
No, no.
No, we got to figure out the logistics.
No, we got to figure out.
I'll give you an update.
Let me figure that out.
just wanted to make sure people, because a lot of people were emailing in like, whoa,
that sounds awesome.
We want that CD if y'all got it because it's, I think we're the last people that own it.
And I think you might have about half a pal.
Buddy, we got a bunch of them.
So we can, yeah, at least the first couple of hundred.
Pretty good, Johnny Deeg, struck a cord with people.
Oh.
A G-cord, maybe.
I don't know, music.
No, it makes sense.
I was talking to a guy we're doing some ministry stuff together and he's doing the
worship stuff.
and I told him like, bro, I can only play Spotify, so do what you want.
Yeah, do what you will.
I can't make jokes like Godwin, striking cords.
Paul from Montana emails in.
Awesome.
He just wants to know, because we talk about our breaks a lot.
Oh.
How much time goes by when we say, we're going to take a quick break or we go to a commercial.
Highly variable.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's zero to five seconds and sometimes it's can to 20 minutes.
Sometimes we go on a commercial.
roll. Yeah. And sometimes we got to wait on
God when it gets done making a pot of coffee.
I mean, it just is all
highly variable on how much time is
actually in between there. Well, there you go.
And if you'll pay really close attention, some days
we change shirts. Yeah.
It gets hot in this room.
If we're breaking down the fourth wall,
it gets hot in this room. But it's
false. So like it's nice and comfortable in
here today. I'm not even going to have a sweat ring on
my rear end when I stand up today. The fall
is here. Like, yeah, you don't want to sit in this chair
after we're done. No. And that side of the room
cooler than this side. Yeah, I felt bad that Sadie had to come in here sitting this chair that
time. She, if she only knew the amount of sweat that's been poured in this chair. But, you know,
well, she's tough. She's tough. We lie saw it. Yeah. All right, Samantha emails in. Hello, Sam.
Oh, Sam, emails in. My husband and I are making a road trip to West Monroe for my 45, maybe 46th birthday.
I don't know if that means she doesn't know what birthday this is. Or are you coming this year or next?
Yeah, I don't know.
But coming soon, like in a week,
they plan to stop by the Duck Commander Tour and the Honey Hole.
And then she has a few more West Monroe questions that she would like ask.
Is the zoo a nice trip?
No.
I ain't been there in a while.
I don't know.
It's not terrible.
But it is a small town zoo.
Yeah, it's not like.
It ain't.
It's not the San Diego.
I mean, it's better than what Joe.
Exotic was running.
I don't know about that.
Well, I mean, I'm saying...
I mean, you could throw hot dogs at tigers.
I'm saying the looks of it.
I'm not saying the experience.
I'm saying visually, it's better than that.
But, like, it's...
They got parakeets.
And I think there's a Duck Commander Duckblind, though.
You can't shoot the ducks, but...
Yeah, that's wrong upon.
Well, a good place to stay.
Wow.
And I wanted to bring this up.
People always ask me where to stay in West Monroe.
And I don't know how to tell them that I have a house here.
I've never had to...
Yeah, I just always
going out the newest hotels,
which are going to be directly
close to the Ike Hamilton Expo
and it's really close to here.
Those are the newest hotels in the city,
so anywhere right there.
What's a just staying in West Monroe?
Huh?
What?
Staying on this side of the river.
Oh, yeah, he's saying stay here.
West Monroe rules.
By the airport.
But any...
They're going to go to worship at WFR on Sunday.
There you go.
That's awesome.
Hope I see you there.
What?
else would we suggest to do while visiting?
Oh, man, this time of year, go to Black Bayou.
It'll be really cool.
The Cypress trees will be changing.
They're going to be like a blaze orange color.
There's probably going to be some waterfowl out there.
It's still just warm enough to probably see a big alligator if you haven't ever seen
one of those.
But Black Bayou is like beautiful during the fall.
In the Black Bayou and the alligator in the wild.
Yeah, yeah, a real life.
Yeah, not captive one.
So that would be, I mean, if you're looking for.
like prototypical Louisiana
swamp look while you're here, that's a really
really cool area.
That thing's got that big walkway too. Yeah, it's got
a boardwalk. So you don't even really need a boat.
Yeah, it's got a photo blind
like that you can go sit in and look at all the
different waiting birds that are coming through this time of year.
So some really cool stuff.
Oh, Congo.
Let me find one more.
One more. Last one of the day.
Hey, you know what else it is?
What?
It is the Canadian, Beth, happy Thanksgiving to you and your people.
Oh!
It's good. And we have a lot of Canadian listeners.
So happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, yeah. I think it already happened.
It happened. But I question since Beth's in the room.
We got Canadian, we got Canadian questions for you, Bill.
What do you all eat for Thanksgiving of? Is it like ours, like turkey and same?
Okay. Why is a turkey? Poor turkey.
The fall gets him.
I had croppy one Thanksgiving. You did what?
We stayed at the lake and we just had croppy.
That is the most.
Are you doing that again this year?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's happening.
And this year.
I was going to selfishly invite myself.
Can we come?
Absolutely.
Like, you're always welcome, Martin.
Yeah, that was, I was just wondering, are there more Thanksgiving than like U.S. and Canada?
Is that, is there Thanksgiving everywhere you go?
Like, that's a, and do they all eat turkeys?
That's tough.
I would think us and Kanata are the only ones with Thanksgiving.
Maybe Mexico, hard to say.
Turkey, duck.
If Mexico has Thanksgiving?
I bet that's tight.
I bet they're not having Turkey.
Nah, but if Mexico had Thanksgiving, we'd have already stolen it like we have
Cinco de Mayo.
That's an aggressive take, but a true one.
Well, but I mean, it is.
That's just part of it.
Nobody's, no offense, nobody has stolen Canadian Thanksgiving.
Beth's giving you a look, but.
It must not be as much of a party as Cinco de Mayo.
That is weird.
People in the U.S. always just looking for a reason to party.
That is weird how we totally.
just jacked Cinco to Mayo.
Uh-huh.
And like we all celebrate it like it's a thing.
And it's always the weird, it's kind of like the weird deal of Mobile and New Orleans who really owns Marty Gras and like that kind of deal.
That's not weird.
Mobile's just dumb.
I'm not trying to be rude to Mobile, Alabama.
But all y'all got is a tunnel.
I can't wait to check those emails in a week.
Yeah.
Bring it on, Mobile.
There's a lot more people.
You have Marty Graw, bring it.
There's a lot more people for Mobile listening than from New Orleans.
But we've got the greater outer banks of New Orleans, the outside part of New Orleans.
Yeah, probably so.
I would say even the good folks of East Texas known as Shreveport would support my decision
and saying, stop it, Mobile.
Marty Grau's not yours.
It's ours.
And I'm not even going to any of that because it's weird to me, but whatever.
Yeah, our kids get out of school for it.
I'm cool with that.
You know, I just, anyway.
How did we get here?
I don't know.
I do have a Bible verse, and I'm going to break it down and get super serious for just a minute.
None of us claim to be theologians.
None of us claim to be political scientists.
But there's some stuff going on in a part of the world that Jesus once walked on.
And I'm just going to read from the Bible what it says.
Psalm 122.6, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
May those who love you be secure.
to anybody over there
we're praying for all that
you know we pray for Israel
that's something we support and
I'm not going to go too deep into it
because that's not our job our job is to just
recognize it pray for it
anytime people are being hurt
senselessly
not for it
well I can't we just love God
with all their heart and mind and soul
and then love our neighbor
amen buddy amen
all right we'll see y'all next time here in the duct call room
We're out.
