Duck Call Room - Justin Martin's Wife Is Hoppin' MAD at His Big Fail

Episode Date: January 24, 2023

Uncle Si's new sunglasses are in ... and they're something all right! Martin and Jay make fun of Si's deer-hunting abilities, and John-David is offended by how bowling alleys keep scores. Martin forgot to make the baby bottles before leaving for a hunting trip, and John-David suggests two phrases Martin can use to help the situation. Jay points out those two phrases have never been uttered by a Robertson, and Uncle Si doesn't disagree. John-David and Stone talk to Madison, the new producer, about how often wives call their husbands. Jay recounts the last fight he ever had with his brother — and it was a doozy. That has Martin remembering his last fight with his older brother. The email has been flooded with a weird looking black cat from Missouri, and the guys debate whether it's a black panther or not. -- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're in the duck call room. It's January. Martin, what do you read? It says open on the podcast, and it's a small letter. I don't have time to read all this on here, I don't think. That's very fancy handwriting. Oh, she's asking for a shout-out for her husband. This is from Sharon from Farmington, Missouri.

Farmington, Missouri. And her husband is disabled and just asked him. If we wouldn't mind to... Wait, Ms. Sharon from Missouri? Yeah. She's who I called you about yesterday. Well, here's what I got, buddy. Right here.

So the thing that she sent you a gift, too. So here's what showed up. But the gift showed back up to her house because it had her address on it. Oh. Well, here's what showed up, Sharon. Right here. We have figured out the mystery.

Yeah, Sharon called me yesterday. We're all friends here. Oh, yeah, and it says, my husband Larry sent you a gift, hope you enjoy it. Well, Sharon, you've got the gift. The gift made it back to Sharon. And Sharon, here's what I got. So, but look, never mind.

It was in a package from the post office ensuring us that they care. Oh, that's hilarious. So. That's it. So it got busted open. The gift fell out. I guess. But the gift luckily had her address on it, so it went back to her house.

Yeah. So Ms. Sharon, I'm sorry I don't have your gift. But Larry, thank you for listening. Appreciate y'all. That's it. There you go. Now we know. We have solved the mystery.

We got to get up. I got on phone with Martin about that yesterday. Yeah, he called me. There's a mystery at hand. She said, do you have something? I said, I ain't got nothing. I said, but in fairness, I ain't been here in two days either. You know what the mystery I'm concerned about right now is?

What's that? Why is Cy wearing those glasses? Battle vision. These are Battlevision. Are you going to battle? You want to know why you know their battle vision? Because they say the entire word, battle vision down the arm.

No, it doesn't. Yes, it does right there. What? In very large font. Oh, I can't read that. That's... I'd have to have my reading glasses on and read that. I can't read that.

I'd have to have my glasses. Right. My reading glass. But I don't need glasses anymore. No, my reading glass. I didn't say that. I said reading glasses. There's a difference.

There's a difference. How... So why are you wearing Chartreuse lenses in the middle of the day? what I got enough. Well, no, no, these are, these are light green. Chartreuse. No, no, they ain't quite sharp.

They're a yellow charteroes, but that's fine. Yeah, go ahead. But here's what's funny. Me and Willie weren't hunting. Oh, no, I know what's funny. I'm looking at what's funny. No, no. When I first walked up and we got in a stand looking, I'm looking at the food pot,

and I said, boy, that food pot looks really green. And then I done that, and I said, oh, no wonder, this is a green tinted pair of glasses. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder how you figured out that'd be green tent before you put them on.

But I wear it for protection. But here's the question. You're a biologist. Educate me on deer atlers. How do they grow? They grow every year

and they fall off. I know that, but how do they go? There they are, sir. He's got the blue ones at home. Blue frame or they got blue lindges? I got the blue ones at the house. But are the lenses blue or is just the frame?

No, the lenses are blue and orange? I got blue and green. Blue and green. I've caught a lot of fish off of blue and charteroosautee, but... Oh, no. It's a good color. But back to what I've asked you. Yeah.

Okay, it's on top of the deer's head. Uh-huh. That's where his brains are at. When they grow these embers, is that what fills them up? It's brains? No. No, it's just bones. It's just annual...

No, it can't be bone. It's got to be something that's like liquid to fill them up where they're growing them. Huh? And then it turns into bone. Aren't bones full of liquid? I'm asking about the process of how this grows. Yeah. I mean, you pretty much got it.

I mean, it's a bone that starts growing, and then at the end of the year, when testosterone levels drop, it falls off. Yeah, it fall off, and then they grow them back every year. Yeah. Yeah, it's got blood supply to it and everything. Like when they're in Velvet, if you go touch him, he's just going to start pouring blood. Yeah. Yeah.

Now, that's what I'm saying. Now, that one lost a lot of blood. Twice, at least twice. No, that's what I'm saying. Oh, so this was just a humble brag about the deer behind you. That's what this is. No, not really. I really want to know how they actually grow these things, okay?

Humble bra. Yeah, humble brag. Velvet, okay, it's nothing, all it is is a leather sleeve that they grow. growing there here. Yeah, it's like your skin. Yeah. Yeah. And then they fill it up.

Mm-hmm. That's what I want to know. What are they filling it up with that actually turns into the outlet? Liquid bone. That's it. Liquid bone. Liquid bone. His body is producing all that calcium, all the phosphorus, and it just keeps growing and

growing until his body says, that's it. Now let's make testosterone. When he starts making testosterone, he goes and sheds his velvet. All of a sudden, the seven guys he's, been running with all summer he don't like them no more that's right he starts who's yeah we ain't we ain't friends we ain't friends no more I ain't no friends because women have done coming into the picture now and then they run them women for about two three months and then and drop 50 pounds drop 50 pounds

and then they're done and then they started all over again but it is pretty cool I mean that's the difference between antlers and true horns that they shed them every year and I found some sheds in places like that will still have a little bit of blood on the bottom of them so you know the deer just left there. Oh, no. Yeah, he just dropped them. Yeah, it just happened.

So it's a... Science. It's a cool process. No, no, I'm just saying. You got to think about that. He keeps pointing out. You want to know what size deer you got to shoot when you got cataracts and don't know what you're shooting and still kill it? He's got to be that big.

Yeah. Oh, no. You shot him essentially blind. Oh, no. Oh, he was blind. No, he was my buddy there. That's my buddy. Is he?

Okay. I bet he don't feel the same way about you. He did not. not see antlers when he killed that deer. I did. I've seen half. I can see why. He thought it was a cactus.

No, no. Or a tree or something. That's right. That's a good analogy. I mean, that thing. How many points are on that thing? 27. How in the world do you get your taxidermy back at fast?

The rest of the free world don't. No, no. That's what I was telling Justin and Eddie. They come up over here. Aren't you, Justin? Not to him. No. And, hey, when they showed me that, I said, man, that was quick.

Yeah. Because you gave me both of them. This one I killed last year. This one I killed this year. I didn't know he was a 12 point. I'd say you stepped up. No, yeah. I didn't even know that that was a 12 point.

I mean, I could sit in there. What did that deer score, Si? That one has scored 2.30 is what they told me. It's funny. It's biggest deer I'll ever end up shooting in my life. Cy's biggest deer he ever killed is 100 more than the biggest. Oh, the only deer ever killed. It's a 230-inch.

10 point. I mean, my goodness gracious. No, no. B.K. killed, uh, what, eight point. Yeah. He scored 182. Look, I don't have them. But my, about Tupperware, these Tupperware glasses? Yeah, I know, I'm aware. The mass. That eight point was bigger than my Tupperware glass. That one out there pretty close to being bigger than your tupperware glass. Yeah, right my hand down.

But she killed him. I mean, you're talking about a stud. You got a 10 point she killed in Arkansas. The eight points in Texas is bigger than the 10 point. Oh, it was quite the trip. Did you get that picture? I have a photograph. He's a bull. That's some cool country down there.

Oh, no. That's a big animal. Congratulations. You earned it, old man. No, no, look. And guess what? Check that out. That's what it's all about right there.

And guess how many I saw the first morning I sat? 72. I saw 60 deer, and guess what? No, no, look. Look. I saw 62 deer, okay, 35 of them. There's a good picture. Was bucks like that one I've got on the wall behind me.

Oh, good night. These glasses is lucky. Look. Oh, what are you doing? You don't whacked another deer wearing them. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's my Mississippi. I got to come up with a widget and put it on a late-night infomercial, so I'll buy it from me.

You can be rich. No, no, that was a drop time. three drop times, two on one side and one on the other side. And look, would he fail? Where's the rest of him? Oh, he's behind, he's out of the camera. Oh. They just showing that one.

Oh, they're just focusing on you. Yeah. Whatever. The star. Look at him. Bad camera. I notice you got the same look on your face in both their pictures. Right, that's it.

That's wild. Well, no. No, I'm just, I mean, look at it. He got that same. He got that wild look at his eyes. Yeah, look at him. Oh, yeah. Let's pay the bill so we can have.

on to your trophy one. We'll be back right after this. All right. Look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cook. 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, Sall 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 Tritails 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 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 Trial's 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. Well, does deer season actually close? End of January. I need to go a couple more times. I need to shoot something else. You got like a week?

Yeah. I think you got a week with a firearm and then you can bow hunt until the 31st maybe or something. What about what is the Singapore? Yeah, you're mostly. 35 wheeling.

Okay, right, yeah. Then you can finish it out with the 35 wheel. Well, we got some good weather coming out. We'll go this weekend. All right. Yeah, I need to kill one more. They kill a big old red

Okay, down there on the property Big red, he's longer Yeah, you need to kill another biggin. No, man, well, hey, I'll take it back I'll kill the ghost buck. It's a ghost. He's calling a shot now. Oh, no, no, no.

How are you going to kill the ghost buck when it's a ghost? Oh, no, look, this is like, I'm going to kill, what, like one of the brammer bulls in PBA, bull riding. You can't kill them.

Well, I'm talking about this deer's that big. There's bulls and bowling? Right, no, no, that's why I want to shoot him. This deer is really that big. He looks like a PBA buck and bull. PBR. He is. A, or PBA or whatever it is.

Yeah. PBAs and bowlers that come all Sunday at 1130, right before you get home from town. Wearing those glasses. That's right. They do. What? The only people that wear those glasses are bowlers and like Olympic skeet shooters. Professional bowling. Professional skeet shooters.

There you go. Who do you think you are? I am. You didn't know it, okay. I've been killing stuff and I've been blind. You ain't going to believe what I can do now that I can have to be. Well, then things look like in the dark. They help get rid of light.

Do they? Like headlights? Yeah. Still green, you know? It makes everything clearer, okay. That's what surprised me. I thought it was a bald-faced lie on the commercial. How many pairs did you get?

aren't two? Clearly they're by one, get one free. Second one is free, right? Yeah. Okay. I was just curious. You got to look about it. I miss.

Well, no, I'm doing it for really for one thing to keep my eyes protected. No, I know that. Okay. Do you think you could holler at them and get them to custom fit your old glasses with those lenses? Because I miss. I miss the wireframe side with a strap hanging around. Well, I have to. With the beads hanging off.

There he is. Yeah, I'll hate to do that. Yep. That's what you look like right now. Yeah. Well, I mean, he ain't got a five head like that fella. That's the greatest bowler that ever lived. What's his name?

Pete Weber. Pete Weber? I only know that because I have the Google. Oh, that's the guy that hit the strike and started yelling at everybody. You've seen everybody's seen the video. I haven't. He, like, yells, who do you think you are? I am.

And it's really confusing. That may I may. But he won. That may I may want to go read the New Testament. He's starting to say about who you. think you are, I am. Yeah, I'll fix that. He gets a little confused to go in here.

Yeah. No, you ain't I am. No, you ain't I am. You going to end up being you was. Yeah. And not is. Yeah, you keep that attitude up. That only goes one way.

That's right. Man, I may start doing that next time I kill a milder Drake. Who you think you are? Who you think you are. Who you think you are. Come flying in front of me and thought you were going to get away. I'm going to file that under that act like you've been there before. That's right.

Didn't that boy expect. You ever seen that? No, why would I? Oh, well, that's a good point. I like the one that bowls. The one I like is he don't put his fingers in the ball. Most of them don't anymore, do they? Well, no, no, no, I'm serious.

This guy holds it like this, and then he spins it. Yeah, spins a snod out of it. He spins the crap out of it, and that thing. He starts on the right corner and cut clear cross, boy, and when he hits it, everything's going down. I wonder how many times it took them toting that thing like that, and dropping it all, on the toe to figure out where exactly they needed to cradle that thing. Yeah. Because I know one thing, he gets down close to it to do what he does.

And why is bowling so hard? That dude's won $4 million playing bowling. Oh, my goodness. Oh, the one that's fenced it? The guy with the glasses. Four million? Four million. Four million.

Four million. Who's watching that? I used to watch it. And I actually was in a bowler league in the military. Of course you were. And bow. No, no. Man bowed pretty good.

Have you ever bowed a 300? Nope. I closed close one night. How close? It's the last shot. 205. The last shot. Nope.

I had, I had, what, never one of them, strikes, last shot. And it was a perfect hit and should have been a strike. Left of 10. So you've bowed a 280-something?

Well, it was 2.90, I think. That's what it was. I don't know how to math works. I was so thankful when the bowling alley started keeping the score for you. That offended me. Why? I like actually keeping the score.

You like having that overhead projector up there? Yeah, that was more fun. And sitting there coloring on that thing. Yeah. Whenever I moved off to college, they were like, no, it keeps score for you. And I was like, not back at home. You got to do that yourself. Yeah.

No, I think by you bowled and jumped up into them leagues now. They have. Yeah. It's a sad day. People don't even know how to keep scoring bowling anymore. Yeah. Well, we had a class for bowling or something that we kept score. It taught you how to keep it.

But I could never remember it. Of course, when I am. ended up bowling. It was late at night. I was about to say where we're going with this. I mean, it was late at night and before Christ? Let's just say that.

Well, I would just say, was alcohol involved in this? Heavily. Heavyly. Yeah. Yeah. If I ended up at the bowling alley,

I've been there. You can rest assured. Yeah. There were some steps that got me there. This was alcohol related. It was not. Hey, let's go bowling. Yeah.

Yeah. It was like, why not? I'm pretty sure bowling was the only class Willie actually ever took in college. Oh yeah, he strapped me one time. We went bowling at Dave and Busters. I didn't even know that he had bowled before. Oh, no, no. He's a bowler.

And then he got up there and spun that thing all the way across it. I said, he's got his own shoes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I looked at it. Maybe even has his own ball. I just get the one, like the midweight ball and throw that sucker as hard as I can and just hope something gets in the way of it.

Well, that's why Willie is, too. No, he's spinning. No, the coolest bowling alley I've ever been. had a spodometer on your ball. That is the only thing I would have been concerned with. Who cares about the pins?

Who's a man? Who's going to hit about 40 miles an hour with this bowling? Where was that at? What did Willie? He was in Arkansas. I wasn't with Willie. Oh, you wasn't we?

That's kind of like Top Golf. Because I know he throws hard. We want points or we want to make that score tracker, that tracer light up? I was right, get a good crow hop in and just heave it. Get your hips and. involved. You bounced it down

the vine. I almost hit the pins before it hit the... Before he even get down. Back in the day, Willie was actually a pretty good athlete. Sneaky athletic. He made... It's before he got top heavy. Well, right. But he made the high school basketball team. Which is very difficult to do for somebody with his genetics.

Yeah, for Chubby. West Monroe High School. Yeah, for Chubby. Five-nine Chubby Boys at Westman. Oh, yeah. He can still shoot. Oh, he had some game. Oh, no, no. Willie had a pretty good gaming back. Yeah, but for the past six years, every time I've done something sporting-wise,

well, Willie, he gets hurt. Yeah. Oh, no, no. He blows a hamstring. Yeah, he's an accident pro. Well, I mean, it's because he goes out there. He ain't played whatever he's doing in five years, and he goes back thinking, well, this was five years ago.

I can do this. No. No. No, I'm finding that out the hard way. No. Getting old sucks. Oh, you don't know the half of it. I don't know where they come up with this golden 60 crap

No Okay, because no There ain't nothing golden about getting 60 Well, you left that behind four years Oh yeah, I'm telling you That's why, you know, the motor died on us other day It flooded out And Phil, Phil said,

I don't know if I'll let you young bucks run that motor anymore He was looking at me and Jays I said, Phil, we're 50 Yeah, ain't no young here Ain't no young no more I said, we've been running a motor for 30 years Yeah, it ain't no young people here anymore. Yeah, we're...

You got to look at Phil's perspective, though. Anybody under 60s a young buck at this point to him. I met a 91-year-old man today. Did you? Mm-hmm. Was he fishing? Mm-hmm. Was he going fishing?

Oh, you just met him. Yeah, I can't tell the story. Oh, he can't tell him. But once you're 91 and somebody's stealing from you? Oh. He just let him? No, you just take matters and you don't need to. No, no, no, I'm going to fix that.

This is just... I don't want to indict him. Well, I was fix that. We don't want to indict him. I was excited. We don't want to hear anymore. Yep, that's all we need to know. Yeah, we don't know to hear it anymore.

But if you are stealing from a 91-year-old man in West Monroe, this is your fair warning. Yeah, I will give you a red alert. You better stop. I got a feeling if you're stealing things, you probably ain't listening to a wholesome show like ours. That's probably. I'm just saying, hey.

But just in case. Just in case you are. Sir, your life depends on. Yeah, for you to keep on living, you better stop. There will be. 91-year-old man. Consequences. Oh, man.

Let's take another break. We'll be back right after this. Duck season's about over. It's coming to two and in. Yeah, that's pretty much, well, it ain't over for me, but it's close to over for me. Look, I'm operating off this premise. We've had a really good year, or at least I have, and I've kept my marriage together with having twins born a month before it was done.

I'm not going to jeopardize that here for the last week and a half. You've done a great job, Martin. Yeah, well. Impressive. I'll tell you what I did do. You want to hear a good failure? You know, hey, we're not too, we're not too proud to talk about failures on here. So I spent my first night away from them kids yesterday, last night.

I went up central Arkansas. I left at 2 o'clock in the morning, Tuesday morning, going duck hunting. And so the one thing that woman asked me before I left, she said, can you just make sure their first bottles are made? Absolutely. Got you. No problem. Got you. I went so far as to before I laid down, I opened the refrigerator, looked in there and said,

yep, they're done. I don't know what I saw in there that resembled two baby bottles. But you saw something. But they wouldn't know baby bottles in there. Because at 7.10 the next morning from the duck hole, my phone was ringing. I'm looking, and it's her. She don't ever call me. She knows what we do.

Uh-oh. She respects what we do. You are in trouble. So when I look, I said, this ain't good. I just drove three and a half hours up here. I guess I'm about to have to drive three and a half hours by. I'm looking around looking for the boat. And I'm like, you know, I know how to run a motor motor.

We're fine. Ain't no problem. But I answered, and she said, I thought you made the first bottle. And she could tell that I was legitimately surprised. It wasn't like a, oh, crap, I forgot to make. No. The last thing I did before I laid down was looking at the refrigerator and said, yep, they're there. Yeah, they're there.

They wasn't there. Okay. And she let me know that they wouldn't there. and I could hear them two boys in the background letting her know that they wouldn't have. Yeah, that wasn't there. And I was like, failure. My, oops.

I mean, major failure on my part. The first time I leave for a night, I do that. She asked me to do one thing, I can't even pull it off. So there you go, look. And you learned the valuable, most important words. I'm sorry, I was wrong.

Absolutely. I told her. And she was like, well, she said, it just made me feel alone. And I said, I get that. understand. I can appreciate that. And I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to shake responsibility on this one. This was all me. I bet it won't happen again. No, next time there'll be eight of them in there. What were those two phrases you said? I'm sorry, I was wrong. Those are two phrases

a Robertson will never utter. Male or female? We're not ever wrong. He created them. I've never heard my wife say either one of those we're not ever wrong what can you do yeah well i can tell you right now your boy was wrong on that one oh but isn't it nice to have a have a wife that doesn't call you every hour and i see i got buddies that's biblical well i got buddies that and i wouldn't say a lot of times they're nagging they just call them to talk about some things but no i'm glad that mine and i do the same thing with her if she leaves and goes somewhere i don't mess with her Like, hey, you let me know when you get some time. Yeah, go have you fun.

Yeah, because I got a couple hunting buddies. I ain't going to name those names, Chad and Cody. Their wives call on a consistent basis. I'm talking about, like, every hour. Now, Cody did a lot of work at my house, and it added about four days on the job for how much his wife called him over a month period. I ain't even going to lie about that. Oh, bad.

But that ain't, you know, that ain't preaching or meddling or nothing. Well, they're still young. That's just an observation. They're still young. They're younger than me. Are they? Are they? How are you?

37. Oh, yeah. They're younger than you. Yeah. But, you know, maybe it'll get better. Yeah. I hope it does. Me and Brittany's had that understanding since the beginning of, like, if I'm gone,

everything's cool. I ain't doing nothing. I ain't doing nothing I ain't supposed to. And same with her. Like, if she's gone out with her friends doing whatever, I ain't worried about it. Let me know when you get home. That's the only thing we ever request is like, let me know when you get to where you're sleep.

Where you go? Like, that's right. Right. When you get there, just say, I'm here. I love you, text message, call. Either one doesn't matter. Like, just let us know. A little bit of peace of mind. Yeah, and that's it. But, you know, when my wife, if I don't go hunting, my wife takes her something wrong. Why are you here, sir? What are you doing? It's duck season. Right. Where are you doing? Get out of here. Leave the house. Leave. Yeah, you ain't supposed to be here. When are you going on another trip? Yeah. I got in the habit of trying to go home for lunch for like a week. She was like,

You're messing something up. Yeah, she was like, what's happening? I said, well, you say you were cooking lunch if you warm me up, something? She was like, no. I'm going to read my book. I was like, okay, see later. The only time I go home for lunch

if my wife texts me or calls me and said, can you bring me some lunch? Absolutely, I'd love to. That's right. Because that means something has gone on afoul with them youngans. So absolutely, I'd love to. I'll take her lunch. Young ones.

I got them while she eats and does whatever, and then I got to go back to work. Who we got over here? What's her name? Uh-oh. Okay. Are you married? Engage.

Engage. How often do you call your fiancy? Perfect. Yeah. Once a day. That's perfect. Once a day, she says. Congratulations to you and to him.

Yeah, that's it. We have a new non-hunter behind the camera in case any of all wonder what we're doing here. Yeah. We're getting to know we're live on the air. Yeah. It's fantastic. When are you getting married? May. What day?

27. Would you like shy to officiate? She's good. I don't think so. I may can get him to leave the glasses at home. I don't think so. The first wedding officiated by Battlevision. Y'all got any interest in getting married on the duck call room?

There are some. Oh, she gave two thumbs down. Here's what I can tell you about her. She's going to fit in just either. That's a podcast, baby. OJ's has a plantation over there, but you're going to pay for it. He's going to clip you. He's going to clip you.

Be careful where you walk, there's holes all in the other. Oh, yeah. They digging up Barry Treasure. Also known as Bud Light Tops. Their neighbor's got some good ponds, though. Do they? It's the rumor. Oh, good.

Really? That's good. You're not supposed to fish them. Oh, by the way. But I know some high school degenerates. Oh, Willie's Pond is getting a facelift. What are we doing to do it? We're focusing on the pan fish.

Yeah. Remove all bass? Remove all bass. I know you would enjoy. Except them biggins. I'm on it. And them giant ones leave them in there. Leave them giant.

And everything else, take them out. Take them out. Take them out. We put some of them giant brim in there. Mission. You get some of them coppernows? Accepted. You get some of them coppernode?

Got to put something in there. Willie can catch. I'm not laughing. I'm not laughing. When I, look, hey, when I was Willie's assistant, I want to know if I'm wrong here. He told me to go buy him a rod and reel. He said, open face.

I said, okay. Open face. That's a baitcaster. Bate caster. Yeah. Okay, I'm not wrong. No. So I go by, he goes, no, no, this ain't open face.

He said, I can't use this thing. I said, oh, he wanted an upside down pole. He wanted a spinning reel. There wasn't a pushback. He said, you know, open face with the bell. I said, that's not. That's a spinning. Yeah.

That's upside down pole. But he calls a baitcaster and open face. And I was like, you can use this. He goes, no. Backlash. have you seen people use a spinning rig with the upside down oh yeah and then reel backwards yeah yeah yeah that's they also reel their bait all the way up to the end of the pole yeah and bust the eye off of it break the end of the rod bust the rod jeryl swindle got another line about that but i ain't gonna go

he said they also listen to luke brian that's right Bill dance Now Luke I'm not worried about you listening But I do consider you a friend So I didn't mean that He can fish though Oh absolutely he can Oh his pond guy is the best

His fond guy Troy Troy knows what he's doing Troy's the man But Luke saved himself With all them fishermen When he come out with Bill dance They're like all right

We take back everything We've ever joke we've made about you So Bill dance is cool Yeah he is cool That's the one rule in life It don't get no cooler in that Bill Dance.

He's like 85 years old. He's always had some questionable eyewear choices too. Him and Sai got a lot in common. Y'all should come out with your own pair of glasses. The Si and Bill Dance approved safety glasses. You know, Galwin and Bill Dance, they're like, they're friends. They're big buddies. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

They fish a lot together. They move about the same speed. Oh, yeah. Guy one's moving quicker now. Oh, yeah, he's lost a lot of weight. He ain't moving quicker. He's moving the same speed. It just looks like he's going faster because there's less of him.

Not quite as much drag. He's a little more aerodynamic, some may say. Oh, man, well, let's take another break. We'll be back right after this. Well, you know, I had the distinct privilege to hunt with a guy named Chad Robeshoe. Robeshoe. Robeshoe. I feel like I've heard that, man.

He's from South of I-10? Well, he was born there. He's got an X on the end of his name. Robeshoe, Tobedo, Boudreau. He is a real-life superhero. Man, Boris Recon Marine did eight tours of Afghanistan. Oh, he's incredible.

Yeah. Incredible. Check out his story. It's worth reading. It's something else. Oh, yeah, that's the fella that went duck hunting down there. That's right. Yeah, I got you.

So we were sitting in the blind and he said, you all have any poo-doo? I know what that translates. I said, do what? I know what a pooh do is pooh do you know what pooh do is sigh

they only fly at night and they and they are the highest flying duck we've got well the cajans they eat the gizards out doth isn't that right martin? They eat coop

yeah that's a flying gizzard poo do in a Cajun is translated into water chicken yeah he's a chicken I don't think he's as good as a chicken But maybe if you soaked him in some of that w. Yeah, he may get tolerable then.

But they only, I mean, they eat the meat, but they like them for their gizzards. Them Cajuns love a gizzard off of an animal. Now, the way they clean them, I get it. They like filet a gizzard, keep the tender part, and throw the hard silver skins. Oh, yeah. Right. But, you know, it's just, it's a lot of work. Yeah.

Now, I like a liver, like chicken liver, but them chicken gizzards, they look chewy for me. Like chicken liver. I can't. I can't. Chicken liver done. right. It's good. It's good.

Yeah. It is. But chicken liver, not done right. Yeah, there's no good. It's bad. Terrible. No good. Yeah.

You ain't ever, have you had chicken liver? What's wrong with the chicken thigh? Nothing. Nothing. But they ain't not wrong with that liver either. That liver turned into a catfish. You soak him long enough. Is that well, yeah.

Yeah, that's right. I eat him the catfish can. Anyway, old Robeshoe, he's about 5.3. Probably go 140. Climmy like a cat squirrel. Oh, my goodness. But. But him, his four generations of Marines and the most selfless human I've ever met in my life.

All he does is want to help people. That's all he wants to do. Well, he went into Afghanistan and the rescue his interpreter. It ended up rescuing 17,000 people, orphans and Christians. 17,000? 17,000. Yeah, went in after one, come out, 17,000. He just kept going back getting them.

Yep. It's incredible. I got chill bumps off. And now he's doing the same thing in his son, Hunter, doing the same thing in the Ukraine, getting out orphans and Christians. That's wild. Isn't that something?

Yeah, that's the ones that's wired different to me. Oh, is he wired different? They run towards the fire. Oh, look, and he's also... I'm going that way. A fourth-degree black belt in Brazil and jiu-jitsu. He taught class in our school that night, and he choked me 25 times in five minutes.

and was laughing the whole time. That's like every 15th seconds. Yeah. Ooh. I don't know. That's tough to come back for, I may. I might be exaggerating a little bit, but it was quite the experience. No, you didn't exaggerate. Were you there?

I'm just telling you. So I saw it with battle vision. No, no. I just know the breed. Oh, yeah. Well, look, his son is 24 years old, and he's got a black belt. which will take most grown men 10 to 15 years. Oh, no.

But he said his dad started training him when he was three years old. Let's think about that. Yeah, I bet he was a bull in school. Oh, my goodness. Boy, he's a little guy too, five, five three. That's what I'm saying. If somebody come up there and mess with him. Oh, no, it's nothing.

Next thing they know, they're like, why them lights go out? No, no, that's my fondness memory of high school. Oh, good, getting choked out. Oh, no. No. No. That the bully of the school, a new kid has come to school, and they are all harassing him. Well, the bully walks up and so about, you know, he gets in his weight.

You know, and I become friends with this guy later on. The bully or the guy? No, the guy that whooped. The new guy. Oh, spoiler alert. Somebody about to give up. The bully is about 250, okay. Two 50.

Allen is about, oh, he's five, six, maybe, and maybe 150. 160-ish. Yeah. So he comes walking down the hall, the bully steps in front of him. Alan stops. He said, I'm going to take a step back, and I'm going to step forward. And if you get in my way, I'm going to walk all over you. Well, hey, he took a step back, step forward, big boy stepped in front of him.

And to this day, all we've ever discussed is, how many times? Did he hit him before he was stepping in his stomach and his chest on his face and walking on? Because, son, you're talking about putting on a man and put it on him quick. Well, come to find out, he got knocked out in the semi-final golden gloves. Who, your buddy, Alan? Yeah. Yeah. So, hey.

He had them hands. Oh, yeah. You don't want to forward. He knocked him out with the first punch, but he hit him four or five months. more times on his back. And then he stomped the mud hole. No, no, I'm serious. He did.

He knocked him out with his first punch. And I guarantee you, we don't know how many times he hit him. Yeah. He hit him all the way to the ground and did, I'm serious. Okay, he stepped right in his groin. Steps in his stomach. Okay. Steps on his face and just, and he done it.

He done it like it was so funny. We died, David. Now, look, see, I'm the kind of guy. I was big, right? I mean, I was always big. Yeah. I didn't ever size up. But you wasn't a bully.

No, I wouldn't. But I'll tell you this right now, even being big, I was always more willing to take on a bigger person than a smaller one. The harder they fall. Well, and big ones, we get winded quick. That little one got staying power. He going to be there a while. I saw enough of them fights to realize I won't mess one in about that size. They'll whoop you because eventually you got, you know, big guy, he got about maybe two minutes where he can go pretty.

hard and then you got three in you you all right like but them little ones no they just keep going they're like energizer bunnies you don't you don't mess with him I don't sinked it I didn't ever I was like no man you you you on my team come on over here come on to this guy yeah you know uh-uh no I'm serious that was I didn't have much tolerance for a fully in high-line my school career is watching old old big boy get his butt just oh old big boy get wooked by little loud. A little out.

It was funny. It was hilarious. Yeah. To this day when we get together, we all were talking about, how many times? What did he hit him? Everybody says, don't know. Couldn't keep up with him. I just know this.

He did it quickly and stepped in his chest like he told him he was. I bet Big Boy didn't do that again. Oh, no. I bet he gave him a little clearance when he got walking down a call the next time. That was the day that the bully died. No, okay, because figuratively. Metaphorically.

No, no. He's no longer a bully. Hey, because that dude, he ain't never bullied another person from then on. He learned his lesson. He learned his lesson. Every once in a while he just got... He got his tail kicked.

A stove's hot. You got to touch it to find out. This sucker hero burn you, buddy. I got him one fight in the fourth grade, and I thought my dad was going to kill me because I got in all sorts of trouble at church. Your sister whooped you, didn't she? No.

Oh. One of my good friends kept making fun of me, so I kicked him. He went down. It was a very short fight, and I was like, my dad's going to kill me. You used a kicker and a thrower, wouldn't you? I fight dirty. I'm going to fight. If we're going to get in a fight.

You're going to fight outside the box. I'm going to fight. I ain't going to wait a way. There ain't no road, boys. He'll be coming with their windmills. My dad said. But he's going to start with a couple of baseballs. I'm throwing something.

He's going to try to get you from distance first. Hey, that's it. But look, I thought my dad. was going to kill me. I said, this is it. Like, he's, I'm grounded, he's going to whoop me. And he looked at me, said, he's making fun of you? I said, yes. He goes, you try and walk away? I said a couple times. He said, well, if he makes one of you at school tomorrow, skull drag him across the playground. And I've always remembered that. I said, that was my dad teaching me. If somebody

going to pick on you, you might have to stand up to it. Yeah. That's a good kid, though, that picked up me. We were, we were like friends two days later. It was just a weird moment. But I had full permission. to skull drag him across the playground. Oh, some of my big fights, baby, my best friend. Skull drag. Oh, you know what's worse than fighting your best friend? Fighting your brother.

The last fight I've been in, last real fight, was my head through the wall from my brother. I mean, literally, through the wall. Because he was always big like you. And, you know, I'd mess with him. He was my younger brother. Pick on him, you know, fat jokes, whatever. Yeah.

That same thing my older brother did. My brother six years older than me. I remember the last one we got into, too. Oh, so we were... There's always the last one. We were in college on this, okay, we were playing video game or something. I thought the football, Madden football game, and I beat him. Well, I...

You had to let him know you beat him. I let him know I beat him. The scoreboard wasn't enough. And then I threw in a little fat joke in there. And then the next thing I know... You threw a walk. He had grabbed me up by the nap and... my neck.

And through the door, not through the door, through the wall. Through the wall. Through the wall. That's back when sheet rock was good. Oh yeah. Through the sheet rock.

Yeah, this ain't cheap sheet rock. Through the wall. It ain't that mess they sell today. I woke up 10 minutes later and they're in there back playing Madden football. They're just sitting there playing. Yeah. So you know what? I learned my lesson that day, so.

Oh, no. You will eventually pay. Oh, no. You go run up on somebody one day. We'll push him too far. Well, eventually, like in that brother scenario, eventually little brother, that bluff wears off a big brother. And you got to try it. That's right.

I remember, see, there was six years difference between me and my brother. I used to bluff him. And I got to it again. The only bluff only goes so far. Yeah, I remember with my brother, like I tried it at 12. Of course, he 18. He whipped me pretty good. Didn't work.

That didn't work. We wasn't ready yet. I wasn't there yet. You wasn't there yet, boy. I run it again about 14. No, it still ain't there yet. Oh, he's 20. Yeah.

But did it at about 17. Okay. And then he said, you know, I think we're done with this. Yeah. He don't want to fight. Yeah. He's like, yeah, you know, hey, brotherly love. And we ain't ever, you know, we ain't.

But you always had to try it. You had to keep sticking your toe in there as little brother because eventually you knew he was going to be like, all right, that's enough. Ain't that funny? You finally whip his ass and he don't want to fight. Yeah. One time. Yeah, one time. Yeah, never more fighting again.

Oh, boy. Oh, well, let's take our last break. We'll be back right after this. We're back. We're back. I'm still checking trail cam pictures. I'm not going to, hey, to start off, I'm not going to do email. I'm going to do regular mail.

Regular mail. Weston from Citrus Heights, California, sent me a photograph that he drew personally. It's on a picture route. That I've specifically asked for. Is that Phil? Well, that's what it looks like Phil. It's supposed to be me. And you're wearing a monocle?

Yeah, and it's me with a monocle. Riding a giraffe. And it got me on the back of the drafts. I stood up on my... It's a pretty good draw. I grabbed two horns on top. Are those horns, Martin? Yes, the horns.

It's a science podcast. They're horn. I ain't ever studied the gyraff real close. Well, hey, from around here. Look, that way I see everywhere around me. You'll see it off. I'm up there and got my legs right under it. head and I got

hold of the two antlers he's got. Well Weston thank you for the drive. He also said he hopes your eyes are doing well. They are. How could they not with Battlevision? Battlevision, you can make the checkout to Cy Robertson and friends.

No, don't you pay me with your blood money. You're going to send it to me? Yeah, send it to Cy. Not one, but two. Send it to you, Si. He still owes me a steak dinner. Yeah, he does. I was wondering why you were so quiet.

So I came over to watch that game, and when Georgia started pulling away, he just got real quiet. Oh, no, I got left. He left. I turned it off and out. He had to get home and start digging behind him picture frame. He got enough to eat dinner. No, no.

I had made the prediction, okay, if they both show up and played the ball, they're capable of playing. Georgia showed up and played. Not the dumbest thing you've ever heard. TCU did not, they shouldn't even came to the game. All right, because they don't belong on the same field. No, no, because they didn't show up. They didn't show up.

Well, look, if they played 100 times, Georgia would win 100 times. No, I'll say it this way. If TCU had played the way they played Michigan and put 50 points on the scoreboard, that would have been a good game to watch. Because it would have been, whoever's got the ball last, I say, Williams. hate to tell you but Georgia ain't Michigan. No. Michigan ain't Georgia.

But I have seen the little giants. All right, anyway. I have seen the little giants and there's always one time. One time. Here's a difference. One time. And it's the end of this. TCU ain't got Icebox.

Icebox don't play with girls though. That's right. Wait, Icebox was on Dallas Cowboys in that movie. No. It was. What was the girl's name? Huh? What was the girl's name in the movie?

She is Icebox. She, Spacebox? Yes. That's why I said. What's the bully? I don't. Spike.

Spike don't play with you. That's a good name for a bully. All right. So Charles from North, I just want to give Charles a shout out. Northwest Arkansas. He's currently stationed in South Korea. We thank you for your service. And it's been a bit rough.

He says he got to catch the beginning of Tils season, but all of his friends back home in Northwest Arkansas are just slaying the ducks. But he said one thing that made him feel like. home in the middle of January and Korea, the Christmas tree cakes showed up. I hope you bought one of them boxes on bottom. And not one of the ones on top. But I'm interested in hearing size take on this. He's learned on this Air Force base that there are green heads and pheasants on the runway

and there's a program to shoot them to remove them from getting sucked up by jet engines. Sign them up. Volunteer. And go have yourself a time, boy. You need to act like you from the University of Tennessee. That's it. Let's go volunteer. Volunteer for that one.

I guarantee you. I was wondering where you. Yeah. Yeah. But he said if he ever gets through, he's going to send picks. That's the kind of volunteer you want to volunteer for. Yeah. Go to see green heads and green neck feather.

And then my other email was about your crazy. package that half of it showed up, half of it got returned, but we covered that. Okay, good. And then there's, we got to cover it. What? Y'all are going to be mad at me. About what? Missouri. What about Missouri?

Oh. Oh, boy. Oh, yeah. Oh. I mean, there it is. That's not even a good one. How's that not a good one? There was one other that somebody sent me that's clearly a dog.

You look at that. It's a Black Panther for those listening. There has never been a mountain line that even resembles that body frame. That thing is big. That's a leopard. Or a jaguar or something. That's the jaguar. That is a big cat.

That right there is the jaguar or the Mexican jaguar as of what that is. I don't care where he's from. That's a sucker right there is a big cat. That ain't a mountain line. He's from Missouri. That's the Jaguar. Missouri. That's where they found that.

There's a whole neighborhood in Missouri terrified right now. Well, no, you got to think about it. Because this thing is running loose, Martin. Hey, well, I don't know, because here's the deal. You got to think about it. So they had time to shine a spotlight on him. I got ten emails about it. I'm just saying they got time to shine a spotlight on him.

And this is Missouri, mind you. Missouri. They got time to shine a spotlight. We need to, well, we got to. But they ain't got a rifle? Hold on. I call. You all don't want to use that.

It depends on what part of Missouri. If this is Southwest. In that word? Missouri's got a lot of, uh, uh, the cedar trees. And the cedar trees breaks. That was a movie, too. See, well, this is right below St. Louis. So they might not have.

It's Missouri. Right. Yeah. And that word, Josie Wales is from. Mm-hmm. They should have guns. Yeah. They carry a spotlight.

I guarantee you. You can't have a spotlight without a rifle. What did he say? Something about he measured it? They what? The homeowner was taking her pet out for a bathroom break and she saw it. They measured the footprints. And where are those at?

We haven't seen those. But some residents do believe it could just be somebody's pet. No, I didn't know pet. Unless Joe Exotic or Carol Baskin or Carol Baskin's husband who's alive. Did you see that? They found him. he's in Costa Rica hiding from Carol Baskin. Anyway, that's neither here norah.

They found him, Martin. You didn't know this? Oh, my gosh. Homeland Security found Carol Baskin's husband. He's not dead. Well, then that really punches a lot of holes in Joe's argument. Yeah, well, there's a reason Joe's the one in jail. There you go.

If you're listening, Joe, I don't know how podcasts work in jail. We thank you for sending a picture of the cat. Okay, and it is a Mexico Jaguar. Oh, man. I really did get a ton of them. I would wager pretty much anything that I own

that that picture is not from Missouri. Yeah. I don't care where it's from. Oh, agreed. Wait, you got to care that it's in America. No, I'm just saying, I don't care where it's from. South America.

I'm tired of life. It can be in Mexico. All I'm saying is, hey, that's a big black cat. She took her daughter. dog out to use a restroom, saw it, had time to go get her spotlight, the cat that evades everybody is still standing there. That's just like this. To take the perfect picture of.

This is a giraffe. I mean. Giraffe. I mean, people. What? I'm just, I couldn't not bring it out. Are we dumber as a country or more gullible? Or where are we at here?

Oh, we are. I mean Is this an indictment on the American education system? I wish I could find this email, but if I Google, if I search. I understand we don't use the metric system, but we ain't dumb. Like the things that all had to go right for that picture to transpire in Missouri, just south of St. Louis. And we're going to spread that thing around like wildfire and say, oh my gosh, look at the Black Panther.

I mean, the house cat from Louisiana made it around here 17 million times. I mean, I give up. Hey, just so we're clear, a guy that emailed in, Austin, he orders his stakes medium plus. Oh, no. Oh, we got another. The waitress told his wife that medium plus was a real thing. It is real. I order my steak that we never know I eat.

Size changing this country as we know it. Medium plus. Battle vision. I am against. Put that up again. Give us a Bible verse. Give us some sense of actual reality and let's get out of here. Black Panthers are real.

But there's an important lesson here. Be bold about what you believe. Absolutely. Hebrews 1039. We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. That's right. If you believe in Jesus Christ, don't shout away from it.

Amen. Claim it loudly. Wear it on your shirt. If you believe in Black Panthers, keep your mouth shut. Put it on a hat. Thank you. Call me later.

All right, we'll see y'all back.
