We're back. Welcome to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. Did we leave? Are we back? We're back in here. It was a long weekend. It was. But the beautiful thing is...

It was Mother's Day weekend. It was Mother's Day. So we thought what better to do than to celebrate a mother on today's podcast? Corey! Welcome back to the Duck Call Room. I'm glad I'm the representative mother. Hey, you've been like a mom to, well, especially to me and Johnny D for some Yeah.

Galvin, I think y'all are a lot closer in age, so I don't know. That might be like a dad or not. Stemmama, stepmom. Oh, Lord. So, welcome, Corey. You found out today the problem of when Cy cancels and you're the only Robertson at the office.

Yep, then I get in. Well, I remember, so as speaking of me being a mother to y'all, I remember babysitting John David. I'm John David. One time. Not John Luke. I know you were about to say John Luke. There's a lot of John something in the family.

I almost said John Luke. I didn't babysit John Luke. He was my child. I babysat John David one time. This was before like, which I mean we had car seats, but we didn't really like use car seats. Do you remember this, John David? Is this when my head went through the windshield? Yes.

John David was sitting. I was a teenager. Literally John David was sitting on the little like console in the middle of the thing. The 90s were a different thing. Well, that's where we all used to ride. to do? Yeah. How did we ever survive?

And I had to slam on my brakes because someone stopped in front of me, stopped short in front of me, and David's head went through the, like to the windshield. It cracked the windshield and he was fine. That shows you how big of a head and hardheaded John David is.

Who all was, was cherry in the car with us? I don't remember who else was in there, but I just remember like freaking out. Like, oh my goodness. And I looked at him and he was fine. I do agree, though, that mild childhood concussion could explain a lot.

I didn't My head went through the It's my fault I took the windshield out I was not injured At all The windshield took the force You didn't hit the windshield

The windshield got hit Yeah pretty much Yep That's what happened I remember riding In the regulation Cars way back The back seat had a little

Flat spot You know the one Back glass had come down And the back seat red And then there was a spot You'd be cut up in there, ride, laying down. Lay up in there, get the warmth of the sun.

Yeah, the good old days. Oh, yeah, we used to like, in Mammals car, we played with like little army men back there on that way. Oh, yeah. You just had your full-blown battle back here on that way. Nobody wore seatbelts back there. No, and you're a seatbelt. We need to tell people to wear a seatbelt.

You do need to wear a seatbelt. Those were dangerous days. My papal used to let me ride on the hood of his car till we got out the neighborhood. But he'd go like 20, and we'd just be sitting on top of the Lincoln. Oh, yeah. Just cruising. Slam on the brakes.

We went to get iceys. We'd go get icies, staining out of the sunroof, singing, we are the camp chico boys and girls. Wow. See, we made it, though. We did make it. Now, that doesn't excuse it. Once you know better, you're supposed to do better. That's right.

So now we know better, we do better. But, yeah, I rode on that center console a lot. It was a good seat. Absolutely. It was right in between Mammao and Papo? But you had to get them everything. That's right. The stop short.

Got that deal. Yeah. Oh, it was a good time. But you had to reach in the back seat and get them everything. Yeah. Hey, give me that pack of crackers. Well, you just climb back there, got them pack crackers. The center person.

That was their job. That's right. You like the concession stand. Oh, my goodness. I cracked that with it. If only. And here we are. Now they have to ride backwards till they're, I don't know.

I'm going to have to brush up on all of that. You're about to figure it out. By the way, is the duck commander dumpster full? Uh-uh. Because this weekend I went and threw like three car seats into it. I just, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we're, we're, well, not. Boosters are, well, not. Boosters are not one car seat, two boosters.

Oh, okay. And I would have given them away, but when I tell you, that was the most, I started to clean. I said, nope, this is beyond. I looked at my son. I said, you're gross, Benz. And he goes, dad, I'm really messy. And I was like, that's not a good thing. Where does he get that from?

Let's talk. How did he get that stuff? Well, we handed it to me. Oh, fine. Yeah. I mean, there's so many children in that car. Oh, I remember whenever we had a minivan when the kids were little and we actually, like, did a trade. And I think we made money on that minivan because, like, we had had so many times been, like, hell damage that we just took the money and didn't get it fixed.

Because, like, hey, we were broke back then. We were like, hell damage. That was, like, a good payoff. So, like, we would take the money, not get a fixed. We had all these things. We finally turned in. The window would not, it came down, but it wouldn't go back up. So once you got it up, you just left it up.

You don't make the mistake of rolling it down. The DVD player or disc, you know, CD player had like $4 and change in it. The kids had stuff through there. Yeah, it was, we wore it out. Did you get money when you traded it in? I did get, well, I got a little bit. Now, I remember thinking, like, I'm not quite sure how, but it would just like drove off the lot and we're like, we're not going to talk about this. Somehow we got a really good deal.

And thank you, God. Yeah, moving on. That's how, you need to know these things because you're having twins. Yeah, there are. That's how Allison's car is now. So there's a leak in the DVD player, and I don't know how that happens. But when it rains, the water falls from the TV. And I don't know how that happens.

And the door is slosh. So we're planning on trade it in once the kids aren't so messy. Oh, the door's easy fix. But not until it's a drought. The door's got a weephole in the bottom of it. Take your finger run down there on the bottom of it and get that dirt out of it. That's it? 100%.

Oh, her doors sound like Moses parting the Red Sea when you open. So every door on one corner or the other, depending on how they've got it set in there. You just got a weephole in it that'll get clogged with dirt and you just reach there and run. You wash your vehicle a lot, obviously. So that was a joke. Martin is full of like knowledge. No, mine did that one day. And I was like, I did like, why is my door?

I could hear the water. And I was like, it was duck season. I was like, what the heck? And then so Google, smart. phone. Why is my door full of water? They're like, the weephole's clogged. I reached up in there, found it, just scrape my finger back and forth, and all this water poured out of my door. How did you do that?

I've never heard of that before. That's never happened to me on any of my cars. She keeps her car clean. We were literally prepared, first off, I once went through the windshield of it, and I know John Luke and Sadie enough. That minivan was not. No, I'm just saying the outside of it. Now, now our cars are clean. My car is really clean now. Yeah, absolutely. I cleaned all our cars this weekend, and that one with the chill. And it is still kind of gross, but it just is what it is. But now I can sell it whenever it's not a drought because I was like, we're just going to sell this thing at the end of July one year.

Oh, you can sell it right now. Yeah, just go unclog that hole. You'll be fine. I'm interested. I wonder how many people you're solving that problem for today. I almost want to go over and do it. God, when you knew it, didn't you? Yeah.

Yeah. My solution was I'd have got a drill bit and went up there and had made us all. And he'd have made his own. I don't make my own. See, I just thought, which we do have a leak in the DVD place. Yeah. That's not normal. I can't help you all that.

I can't. I think it's the sunroof. Yeah, probably so. You know, mine stays covered in mud. You need to get that. So that's how I found out. That's a good point. Yeah.

You need to get that army man out of that seam and that'll quit leaking. He's saying there's something shoved, didn't there? I did that. Do you remember Papaw's car that I tore up with my friend, Derek? We took Ninja Turtles and would bend the antenna and attach the Ninja Turtle to him and fling them through the yard

that tore up the antenna and then we decided it needed more gasoline and we were four and five so we just put all the bird seed in the gas tank Oh my goodness And you still got a roller? That's funny He still loved me

That man still loves you a rollout He still likes me He still yeah but he was mad that day That was the first time I think I think that might have been the only time I ever saw mad at me He was like, you put birds in it? I was like, yeah, it needed something. They needed food to run.

That's funny. That's what you put in it. Kids tear up stuff, man. Oh, food for energy. I never tore up anything. Oh, yeah, right. Get ready for twins. I do.

One time we had the plumber come because our toilet was stopped up and the plumber got like a power ranger, a car. Yeah, he got a few things out of the toilet. That was when during Will and Bella's, you know, toddler years when we called him Destructo 1 and Destructo. two? They were. There was a lot of that. If it wasn't tied down, they tore it up.

That's the truth. How many seeds or peas have you pulled out of ears? No, we didn't do that. Did Johanna do that? Oh, man, she stuck everything everywhere. Didn't she get one in her nose? Don't her stuff up? Didn't you have to pull something out of her nose or was that somebody else?

I've heard of that. I've heard of people doing that. I'd reach up in there and get that mess up. That's awful. I don't know how you do that ear. more than once because coming off of having that fly in my ear a couple of weeks ago, you don't, you don't want that. That's bad. That's no, no bueno. I've been wearing these earmuffs since you told that story, just out of fear. Sleeping in them. Man, terrible. I had a fly in me

one time when I was young. It was terrible. It was the best pain. I remember, like, yelling, and we were like, I was like, I got to go to the hospital, taking me to the car, and we were on the way of the car, and it flew out, and I was like, oh, my goodness. Oh, you got lucky. It's crazy. You had to go get it taken out. Oh, well, yeah, we did it ourselves, but Oh, yeah. It was fun. It was a good time. Lessons learned.

It's kind of like getting that weephole unclogged. Once you get it out, everything just flows out of it. Yeah. It was incredible. I shouldn't have told Allison that you taught me that. I should have just been like, oh, no, I looked up about to fix this. Well, you ain't got it, Taylor? I already did.

Well, when I heard my door sloshing, I thought, problem. So I was like, surely I'm not the only ones that's ever had this problem. And, of course, I wasn't. So thank you to the fine folks at YouTube for housing a place where we can find out how to fix things that we don't know how to fix. You can learn anything. That's pretty amazing. That's exactly right.

Well, let's take our first break. We'll be back right after this. All right. 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 Trial's 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 Trial's, getting ready for a cookout,

I mean, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door.

We threw a couple of ribbons on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat 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. All right, Corey, we are so glad to have you in here. Look, we are just coming off of Mother's Day. Please tell us what the boss did for Mother's Day for. I'm intrigued to know after, how many years have y'all been married?

30 years. And John Lucas, 27? 27, yeah. I know it was somewhere like that. 1995. 26, right? He'll be 27 in October. 27 in October.

Yeah, so 27 years as a mother, what is the boss still doing to celebrate you? I'm just curious. Well, this was an odd Mother's Day because I was traveling. I actually spoke at a church in Corpus Christi this year for Mother's Day. He said it was awesome, by the way. Oh, my gosh, you're terrible. Okay, I will say this was really sweet. So I was traveling yesterday and I had that plan, so I knew it was going to be gone for Mother's Day.

So the week before on Sunday, I was like, well, maybe let's just plan like to do a lunch or whatever. You know, the week before Mother's Day, that'll be kind of the Mother's Day. well I mentioned it in passing Well then I decided not to plan it Because some of the kids were out of town anyway And I was like whatever It's not a big deal I mean I've had 27 of these

So you know it's not like And a lot of your kids are now new mothers Right exactly so no it's kind of like shifted Now it's more about them So I had I was like I'd plant it And I said I might plan it And then I didn't So Willie said something about like

Oh what are we doing for lunch And I said oh I decided not to do it And he goes oh well now I can go off I had turned down golf Because you said you want to do that And I was like that's so nice of you to you had turned down golf the Sunday before Mother's Day because you thought we were going to have lunch, even though he ended up golfing because I didn't do it, but just the thought.

I thought that was really nice. The thought that he would cancel his golf game for you. That's right. That was really nice. And so he did buy me, really, you know, he has unique giftings. He has unique when he decides to do a gift. So he bought me a blender, like one of those like blenders you can make smoothies in, but it's like an individual one and then it becomes a cup, which is nice. Like a neutral bullet thing or whatever? Yeah, just like one of those little things, which was really nice. But I really think that was really for him because it drives him crazy when I leave like smoothie stuff in the blender, you know,

and I don't like wash it out immediately. That stuff turns to concrete. It does. It does. So I think that that was a little bit more like, hey, stop using the blender. You got your own little personal. This is yours, you know. I've seen you just like

And then it's a And then you have You can drink out of it for a cup William So thank You keep you keep losing You keep Well plug yourself back in

I don't know Messing with all them I found it Anyway Well as the person who used to buy you All the weird gifts He has bought you some weird He does

He does And I'm like are we sure Does one stand out David why didn't you help I did You have no idea How much I see steered the, tried to steer the ship in a different direction sometimes. Yeah, he has, you know,

I would double check. Do y'all still use that, like, turbo fan for your bed? No, I just actually put, move that to the attic. Yeah, that was one of his scopes. It was one of these, like, because, like, sometimes my feet are cold in the winter or whatever, you know? So, it's this, like, thing that goes on your bed and it can heat your feet in the winter or cool you off. It's like a massive. It's like this giant hose that comes out of the side of your bed. So, it's this, like, out of your bed. It's like a leaf blower for your bed. That is what it is.

And I was like, are you, are we sure? Does it make racket? Exactly what it is. Does it make racket? Yes. Like it's loud. It's loud. And I don't even, I don't like, hold on.

What are y'all going to do with this? Yeah, do you want it? I may. I like, I like stuff. It was expensive. Like a white noise. I almost got rid of it. Y'all got to arm wrestle.

Y'all arm wrestle for it. My foot race you. I almost got rid of it. Then I was like, okay, could this be useful? Like, say we're camping out in the backyard and like we just put an extension cord and we could a lot of air condition in our little tent like okay absolutely yeah it seemed weird to me when I well I sleep with a fan right by my head because I can't if it's quiet I cannot sleep I don't like a fan on I don't

like anything I don't mind like a like a white noise thing you can't hear you can't hear somebody sneaking up on you with all that record I guess that's a really good point yeah yeah I don't mind That's true. You're just like, I'm asleep. I'd rather sleep. Whatever. Yeah, figured out. Whatever.

So, okay, so back to Mother's Day. So I was gone. I spoke at a church and it was awesome. It was really neat. But I did four services, which was all a lot. By the fourth one, I literally, I had a little blankout moment of like, did I say this? Like, the service, like, you know how you start freaking out? Like, did I just tell the story to these same people or not?

I don't know. Four services is a bomb. That's tough. Yeah, that's tough. I'll tell you. The first three, I was fine. It was number four that got me. But anyway, so I did that. But I want to tell you this, John, I actually spoke like three times this week. So I was in Virginia, Florida, and Texas. She big time. And guess what? No, no, no, no, no. The point of this is, the point of this is, guess what, my number two question that I was asked on this trip was. Number one, can y'all guess? Is Sai? Is Sai?

Something to do with Sai and is he like that or where is he or what's he doing? Okay, there you go. Is Sai really like he is on TV? I always said I was going to get a shirt that said the front was like, no, I don't know where Sae is. Yes, he drinks that much tea. That way somebody's going to run around. Here, yeah.

Got it. All right, moving on. That's the number one question. Number two was, does Godwin still have that hot tub? Oh. That was the number two question. I literally got asked that. Where I went.

I get asked that all time. You've gotten 100 emails about that. Ms. Paula, she said, no. No more hot tub. She got rid of the hot tub? Yeah. She said if we had one, we put it in the backyard, which makes no sense. Where did you have it?

Well, where would you put it? In the front yard, where you can see who's going down the road? How can you see who's going up and down the road in the backyard? I didn't realize that was the point of the hot tub that. We did put that first one smack in the middle of his front yard. Right by the driveway. That's where it needs to go. I think it's more of a backyard kind of practice.

I one at one time was so committed. He had one he could take with him. Oh, yeah. A little drive of a hot tub. Yeah. That was smart. Yeah. How is that smart?

It fit in the bed of your truck. Okay, now that's cool. It blowed up itself. You just plug it in and turn the pump on. It turned the bed of your truck into a hot tub? Oh, anywhere you wanted to go? For it. I'm for it now that it's in the bed of a truck.

I mean, it was made for like Talladega, but, you know, somewhere like that. But, yeah. And it was camo. The boy had a camo travel hot tub. Those were the days. You were living your best life then, Godwin. Boy, I wouldn't even, I tried to keep it for a minter tank.

She wouldn't even let me keep it for a minter tank. A minter tank. Put my menors in. I got four menor tanks. We have so tight. Minno. Yeah, I was about to say, God, when you want to explain, probably at our audits, what a minner tank. Minner.

Although the first person who asked me, asked me if Godfrey still has his hot tub. Yeah. Godfrey. Have you ever been called Godfrey? Godfrey, Goblin, Goodwin. Yeah, a lot of good ones. A lot of good ones. I've been called Gobin.

And I'm like, y'all need to pay closer attention. Yeah. Like, for real. I get called Jep a lot, but Martin the Gobwin difference is stark. Yeah, I mean, 20 years and... Two feet. Eight, nine inches? Whole different color on the beard.

This little boy called me Jep in the airport one time. What? He said, you're Jep. I said, no, I'm Godwin. He said, nope. You're Jep. I said, okay. When we were at Daytona together, this is like season two of Duck Dynasty.

Nobody knows on earth who I am. I'm just working behind the scenes. And somebody asked Gawin, they said, hey, will you take a picture of me and that guy? Yeah. And so they hand the phone to Gawah, and Gowlin's just giggling and so am I. And then they said, all right, see you later. And I said, they just got a picture of a dude. I took his picture.

That's a lot. Just works in the warehouse. I hope I still got it. I said, wow, I can't believe he's here. That's awesome. That's really good. Who is he? I got Missy at Chick-fil-A the day.

You know how you get through Chick-fil-A and they, like, normally ask you your name? Which one? Well, this Chick-fil-A, they don't ever ask him. me my name. Oh, well, you know, the main, the big one, the big one. They never asked me my name because they know who I am generally, you know, I mean, I go there often. This is our hometown or whatever. And so they don't ask me to my name. So I just assume that I get around there and they say, Corey, this time I get around and they said, Missy. And I was like, no. And I was like, oh, they thought I was Missy. Yeah. That's probably me. That's probably me. It is probably.

It is funny to think about. I got on, you know, that time hop thing today. Time hop. And I saw. 10 years ago, I tweeted, be sure to catch a new episode of Duck Dynasty tonight. Wow. It's hard to believe. Ten years ago? That was season one. Yeah.

Season one tweeting about a new episode of Duck Dynasty. We probably should have done a 10-year anniversary in March, 29. I was just like, I was dumbfounded. I was like, it didn't, I mean, obviously you know it's been 10 years, but it didn't hit that it was 10 years until I saw 2012. I was like, whoa, man, that seems like at most like five years ago. Well, we were talking about on this trip how, because Bella went with me, how, okay, we've been off the air for five years. And Bella was like, no, it's been a lot longer than that.

And I was like, no, really just five years. She went from like middle schooler to married since we've been off the air. I mean, that's pretty weird. Yeah. You know, like, she was like, I guess like eighth or ninth grade when we were off the air. And that was only five years ago and now she's married. That's crazy. Wow.

Unreal. She's 19. She married young. Yes, out granted. But still, like, over this last, yeah, 10 years, a lot has changed. A lot can happen. Martin went from... Party of two to party of four.

Party of two to party of four. Right. Yeah. That's right. You doubled up real quick, though. All right, this is a change. You need to go to break? Yeah, let's take a break.

Let's take a break. Corey's taking us to this one. Beautiful. We're going to tell you about something. And we're back. Corey's got something for us. Yes. I do. Corey's been in a heated debate recently.

Yes. This is another thing that happened this weekend. Our daughter Bella and I had a heated debate over the word that is spelled L-A-W-Y-E-R. Lawyer. Okay. Lawyer. Wait, you said it like me. No, I didn't.

Okay, so Bella says the word lawyer. Lawyer. Okay, yeah. Is that how you said it? Now I don't know how I say it. Now I'm confused. She's got it. We were talking about the Amber Hurd and Johnny Depp trial, of course.

Bella's all up on it. She caught me. You've come to the wrong podcast. She caught me all up on it. No, I know about it. She kept saying lawyer, lawyer. And I was like, what are you saying lawyer as it is lawyer? And she was like, no, it's not as lawyer.

So we YouTube did it. And sure enough, it's a lawyer. Here we go. Is it really? Yes. So whatever I heard him saying it, on Instagram, I said, I was with Bella, but then now that I was in this room,

I said, oh, no. Okay. I don't know which one I say that. Apparently, the way we say it, we. There's redneckified or something. Yeah, it's Southern. Is this Southern way? Listen. Clear. Clear.

Lawyer. Clear. Well, so we Instagram. I got it to Instagram. I got it to Instagram. I later jet. We sent it to Instagram, and we did a poll. And Bella won out by like 70 to 30%.

I was- Yeah, but that's not fair. Then people Googled it. Sounds like lawyer. You say menor or minnow? Well, I say meno. Both times the same thing. I say Shiner. But I was like law.

Your. Right. It's lawyer. Phonetically, that's the way. I mean, if you look at it, law your. Lawyer. So y'all, oh, Corey and Martin are the rednecks. We are.

And God. Good. He said lawyer. That one's not so much. I mean, he says minter for crime. So you're supposed to say, how, what? Lawyer.

This is apparently a heated debate. Lawyer. Lawyer. I feel like I'm on stepbrothers. It's like. Lawyer. Like, I feel like I can help you with the S's. Lawyer.

It's like L-O-Y-E-R. Well, that's the way they should have spelled it. Yeah. Yeah, they should have spelled it like foryer without the F instead of the E. That's right. I'm a Gallagher on that. Lawyer? It's like, yeah, I mean.

I think I do say lawyer now. No, of course you do, because that's the way of spell. I don't know what I say anymore. I've got a great idea. Let's cancel it and we'll just say attorney. We won't argue over that. Let's get the attorneys. That's what I always hear anyway.

Let's get the attorneys involved. That's true. Not that we've ever been in any lawsuits, but. You know what the most terrifying word in nuclear science is? Nuclear? Oops. Good one. Oh, he's got him.

He's just got him up his sleeve, ready to go. That's a good one. Oops. That would. That would make you, yeah. Some dude came in the honey hall the other day, goes, boy, you walked right into that one with Godwin the other day. The Hawaii one. Let's say if Corey knows it.

What? Why is there, can you, you can't, what did he go? Oh, boy. I forgot what it was. Why is it illegal to laugh? No, it's illegal to laugh out loud in Hawaii. Why? You just have to do aloha.

That's a good one. I appreciate that one. I was good. I walked right into it like it was a real thing. Oh, like it was really illegal. I always wanted to go there. You don't laugh out of. Yeah, just have to do aloha.

That's good. I like it. I like it. That's part of the show now. Full of laughy-taffy jokes. Gavill, what did you do for Miss Paula for Mother's Day? Oh, man. I got scarred up from it.

What? She wanted me to clean this. There's a tree. Looks like an arch out there in a corner of our woods. Uh-huh. She said, I want she clean the vines off that. I said, yeah, I'll do that. And I got down there to it, and it was like,

there was a lot more to it when I got down there right on top of it. I cleaned on that thing for two hours. yanked and pulled. I see your arms there. Was it full of briars or something? Look at my legs. I all scarred up. Yeah, it was full of briars.

That doesn't sound like a great. That shower didn't feel good after that, did it? It's don't. I figured you to just get the fish. I bet it looks good. I bet she appreciated it. She does. He just went. Kind of like size greeting to Bella at his birthday party.

Yep. Yep. Did you hear about that? No, what happened? Oh. Your daughter went to Sy's birthday party. We were all there. Well, when she got there, she went up and said,

Happy birthday, Uncle Sy. And he just looked at her way, yep. Yep. What? Did he not recognize her? That's what she thought. And Si, we asked him about it the last time we were here. And he said, no, I knew it was her.

She was with butt cut. And then we started laughing. And he said, hey, Willie gave him that name, not me. Immediately it was like, yeah, of course it was her butt cut was with her. And I was like, he knew. He just was in the mood. He just said, yep. He was just in a triag.

That was it. They run that boy ragged on his birthday. He was, think. Oh, yeah. To be fair. That was a long party. Size's birthday has become like a weekend extravaganza for all of his buddies. And it's a great time, I hear.

Yeah. But, I mean. You hear? Yeah, I have never been. You were invited. It's the same weekend as my son's birthday. Oh, okay. But they have like these.

big ordeal. Do you know how much fun Sy would have at his birthday if he showed up there was like a bounce house. Him and Ben's would be. He needs to come Vince's birthday. It's two hours long

and then we take a nap every time. It's none of this go until 3 o'clock in the morning. That's true. The whole weekend. Well, I did play in the poker tournament. I was the only girl in the poker tournament.

Did you win? No. But I made, I was respectable showing. I stayed in for a pretty good while. Did you ever say, I think I've got the best hand? No, unfortunately.

Well, that was your problem. Unfortunately, I did not. But I did take Sye's money. I did bus out twice on his birthday. But the thing is, like, everyone just kept buying Sye back in. So, you know, Sye could. He was free roll. He could not lose, like, that night.

Yeah. But I did. That takes a little bit of Sysmoney. They cost double once you get there. True. Yeah, there were rules to the, like, tournament. Not for him? No, not for anybody.

Once it, you know, it was going to be like, Sa, he can do whatever. But everyone else, you know, can only buy back in, once but no oh yeah it was just yeah once the money gets to roll and they don't know nobody wanted to stop it was fun though it was fun oh man it's always a magical what did you do for brittany i mean it was number one yeah i mean she is she is no she is a mom she is going she got two human beings oh i agree in the womb yeah she wasn't expecting anything so i got her i just got her some stuff nothing sweet nothing crazy i got her

I got her, what did it say? It's called like Baby's First Bible. I put it in there and said from, you know, the kids. I said, we want you to read this to us whenever we're older. That's sweet. I did that. And then what else did that? Oh, we went fishing.

Yeah. There you go. Yeah, we caught some fish. And then yesterday we ate those fish. There you go. Nice. Because my mom had requested some blackened fish for to eat. So we blackened fish yesterday.

and then we left there and went to another buddy's house and we ate fried fish so I'm fished out so we were we were idling out we had done had a jumped in your boat yeah jumped in martin that's the size of godwin yeah that that's not trick photography wow you can tell there's bend in my arms i'm not it's all i can do to hold him up he's about 40 pounds and he jumped in your boat so we're idling out we done caught our fish that that cooler you see right there in the bottom corner slam full of and we're idling out and I can see them up there in front of me I see their wakes moving and about that time this thing just comes airborne right beside me and I'm like oh no that hits out but he was at an angle and he landed right on my front deck and when he did

he knocked the whole boat around well then he starts flopping he's bleeding he doing that on his own I didn't do that too yeah I did worse than that after that you better watch that slime It'll turn the concrete boy. But then, so Brittany's in there pregnant and freaking out. Oh, I bet. I would be screaming. Like trying to protect. She's over there like this.

And I said, just get your feet up. You'll be all right. I said, he ain't got no fans or nothing. He'll play out here in a second. But that big rascal jumps. I mean, it was like slow motion, though. I felt like I was watching Free Willy, except he didn't make it over the wall. He landed right on the wall.

You saw it coming. It just went right in front of me. And I'm like. It hit you. Oh my goodness. I'm just glad he had a little angle to him. If he'd come straight across, concussion. 100%.

You know that happened during filming of Duck Dynasty. We were out there and like we were filming, we were in boats, filming and the film crew was on their boats. But so they all had cameras, so they're not paying attention. They did not see it coming. And one jumped in their boat and I mean, we heard cussing and screaming and people falling in the water.

When it happens to you the first time, I'm not going to say what the mother to be said. I'm sure. But when it happens to you, the first time. It's kind of an out-of-body experience. Yeah, that's scary. Like me, I'm trying to go real slow because I know that they're in there.

So I'm like, man, just get out the way. You're watching for them. Yeah, I'm looking. The first time having me, I was on a kayak. And that thing was above my head. That's the episode that we were on in Ozark is when we were catching them thing. Yeah. So it was kind of funny that that just.

You know we made. I haven't seen it yet, but I heard. We need to talk to Netflix. Get our money. Get out of mail box. Yeah, you used our likeness. Hey, somebody call a lawyer. Let's say, get these attorneys involved.

That's right. All right. Let's take a break. We'll be back right after this. Yeah, where we were at yesterday over at Ben's house, they got all them little kid, and they come walking back up to me, and one of them said, I fished my pants off. And I was like, do what? You fished your pants off.

And he said, yeah. He had done hooked his breeches. and pulled them down around his ankles. Because he couldn't figure out. To him, the only way that you could get that hook out was take your breeches off. That's the only way. We could not leave your pants pulled up

and pop that hook out of there. I may have done something very similar, very few. It was a weird angle. It was in my shorts. And I was like, you know what? Took them off. It was way easier to get the hook out. It was a treble hook.

Well, this wasn't even a treble hook. It was just a little jighead. Little jighead. I said, well, Sawyer, be still. let me, I said, you can pull your pants back up now. He said, no, but we can't get the hook out. I was like, no, pull your pants up. I'll get the hook out.

That's funny. It is fun taking kids fishing. That is funny. You just can't be too attached to your equipment because you're like, man, whatever, I'll fix it later. John Shepard is too, and now he loves to go fishing at a pond. Like that is his favorite thing to do. So the other day, like, not this Sunday, last Sunday, before church, he wakes up in the

morning and like the first thing he's like, fish, go fish. you know, Willie's not awake yet. So I'm like, hey, hey, I'm not going to, I'm going to make these kids, this kid's dreams come true. I'm the grandma. Like, we're going fishing. So literally, we went out and fish and I caught a fish before church last Sunday. And I didn't have time to shower. So I'm like, we're just going to church.

We might be smelling like fish. The whole time of church I'm thinking, we probably really smell fishy right now. But hey, it was fun. We had a good time. He loved it. He really likes throwing them back in. That's kind of his favorite part because, like, they swim away. And it's fun to watch them do that.

Oh, that's awesome. Catch and release. That's Carter's favorite moment. He just, he wants me to catch them, hand them to him, and then he's going to go throw it back in the water. That's John Shepard. He loves it. Yeah. Well, that's a good relationship. Carter can come with me anytime because I just like to catch him. He don't mind. He doesn't really want to reel it. He doesn't want to cast. Of course, I got to be honest. I'm more of a harvester of fish, not so much of a realtor. I know, yeah. I do like to keep on too to eat them. But yeah. Before church, I was like, nobody's cleaning this fish. it's going back in.

No, especially them mighty peas, white birds. I was thinking I probably would not have done this with my kids. You know, like, got up before church and gone fishing and then just threw clothes on and got to church, nope. I can tell you, I'm not doing that with. Grandma. Grandma. She fed makes this boy happy.

K.K. will take you fishing. If you wake up and want to go fishing. I love it. I had a grandma did the same thing. We walked across the road in her house every day go fishing. We just had to wait for a stories to be. over.

The stories. We had to get done with as a world turns. We couldn't go fishing for it. Couldn't go fishing until 2 o'clock. My mom-m-all didn't watch as the world turns, but she would take me fishing. Her and Papa all across the street.

Now, if you didn't get it done before 10, you had to wait till 2. It was a hard out between 10 and 2. It wasn't just one story. It was all the stories. It started with Price is Right. Come on. The Restless.

12 o'clock news. What's that other one? Bold and a beautiful. Between there and then she was a CBS purist. So, so Channel 4? She didn't watch none of that trash on ABC. It was Channel 8 back then. Channel 8.

Oh, Channel 8 back then. Yeah, no, that was, I still remember it to this day, though. Golly. You remember the lineup and everything. All of them. That sounds like Willie with Granny. Willie tells us stories about Granny. Those are the same shows she'd watch.

It was every day. What was it at night? Dallas or? Well, you started with the five, o'clock news then you had to watch CBS news then you got six o'clock news because there was a lot that happened in Monroe and West Monroe in 30 minutes yeah I was like I was like why are we watching both of these I never and then will a fortune yeah and then it was kind of a free-for-all at seven like you could if there was baseball on she was watching baseball because she loved baseball she didn't

care who it was so and the brave yeah Andy Griffith but that that TV just like Phil's don't leave Fox News or the Weather Channel. Hers didn't leave CBS. That was it. That was the juice. CBS was the juice. I don't know if I'm going to follow in that with the grandmother. I don't know if I'm not sure I'm going to do that, but John Shepherd loves horses.

So I found on YouTube, it's like one hour of just horses in the wild. And it's like so beautiful. It's just like these horses just running around. Just galloping. And so we watch that. Yeah. You watched the whole hour? Did he watch the Kentucky?

Derby? I'm going to say... No, we should have. Oh, since he loves horses. Yeah. What happened? Like an 80 to 1? Some old boy came from the back and he didn't check up. Yeah, like 80 to one. He's still running somewhere. Yeah, to the bank. Yeah. The home he got paid. He was like in like fifth to last and all of a sudden he just, it looked just

Mm. Wow. When he got to that fourth pole, something in him just geared up. Yeah. He said, I got to get up there. That's funny that you let him watch an hour. Because I did the same thing. Carter was obsessed with trains. Some old boy just went around video and trains. Just driving by.

Carter would watch it for an hour. I miss Carter's obsession with car wrecks. That was a fun one. That was not as good. What? He had an obsession with car wrecks. Carter is into destruction of any sort of property. Now he's on the Titanic.

He thinks he's amazed that a boat is at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. Yeah, he's like, dad, we need to go watch that movie. I'm like, not what you think, buddy. He goes, how old do I have to be before I watched Titanic? I said, at least 17. He goes, I'll be able to drive before that. I said, and you won't be able to watch Titanic? Well, you can watch the TV version.

Let the boy watch the TV version. But no, he said, just don't answer that question when he says, paint me like you do, your French girl. Yeah. Don't go down that road. He said, Dad, yeah, the Titanic sank and I need to watch the movie because I hear Jack survived. And I said, first off, incorrect, but he could have.

Don't get me started on the size of that door. But second off, no, you're not watching this movie. But yeah, for a while he would watch, it was like cartoon car wrecks on, and by the way, now he's not, remind me, thanks for that. He's not driving before he's 17. He's never driving. Oh, I love. I used to go in Johnny Dee's office on the day Carter is sick or something. He had to be up here.

And he's just, he got that iPad just watching toy cars wreck. It was fantastic. That's what Ben's got for his birthday, just tracks that interconnect. That way they just eventually just run into each. and everybody laughs. I'm like, what are we doing this for? Hey, kids can be weird. Legit, though.

When you got a new car, like Hot Wheels or something, when you were a kid, the first thing you did was see what you could run over. Like, go get the toy horses. Wow, what you is? I mean, you used them like a bowling ball. So I don't know what that is in a kid, but you're like, let's see what we can tear up now. I counted our Hot Wheels like the other day, and we got too many. We need to do.

Because everybody talks about stepping on a Lego as a parent's the worst thing ever. I'm here to tell you, Martin. That's not true. It's a hot wheel. Because then you fall because that thing got wheels on it. So you go, ow, and then you're gone. Just like home alone? Uh-huh.

It's the same thing. Way worse than a Lego. I'm more worried about them stepping on a fish hook or something than I am. Yeah. Oh, I almost hooked Lottie the other day. We're not going to tell that story. I know. In case Allison listens because stories on.

She won't ever go. You might listen to the Mother's Day episode. Oh, man. Happy Mother's Day, Allison. Well, let's take our last break. We'll come back and get in that mailbag. All right, we're back. We're going to get in that mailbag.

Hello at duck callroom.com is the email address. So whatever you've got, lawyer, lawyer. Be on the right side. Yes. Lawyer. Let's get this changed. Let's get this law changed. Lawyer? But anyway, what's sitting there, Johnny Dee?

That's like I was going to organize this. hide and seek tournament but good players are hard to find all right anyways hello from Australia here's our first email and I'm just they don't even have a question

but they're from Australia and they hold me hello and they just said they love the podcast Leslie and Haley are sisters in Christ from Bathurst or maybe Batheurst Australia did you know we have people isn't us in Australia

I didn't pretty awesome but I got a couple of people I've worked with over the years that are from Australia That's a different breed. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's a good boy. What? They cuss a lot is what Martin's getting at.

What? Just like our British friends. But they're not, and it shows you how weird language is because in their language, it's not considered cussed. Right, true. But when you come over here and they start saying that. I'm not saying Leslie and Haley cuss a lot. I'm just saying like we segue, like we talked about fans in Australia and then you go to like, I know people who cuss a lot. No, I love them.

Like is that? Leslie and Haley, thank you for emailing in and for listening to us. Now clean up your country in's mouths. Here's what I tell you about Australian. I'm just saying this is pretty cool. What kind of world do we live in that people can listen to us in Australia? That's pretty. I love them because I met these people with us working through Yeti.

And they hunt and everything in Australia. They're killing cool stuff like stuff that we only dream about doing. And so, but it's cool that you can have that kind of connection with somebody. Yeah. that far away just because you hunt and fish and they're i mean there is they'll give you the shirt off their back great human beings their language is different than americans and so you're in public you're like oh do you know what that means and they're like well that's not what it means in australia i'm like oh okay cool all right so you're saying that if brittney were in australia when the carp jumped in their boat

it'd been perfectly acceptable they would have thought she was celebrating that's right they would have thought it was a long-lost friend she hadn't seen in a while where's the party there's the party yeah so oh that's funny well thank you for listening from australia i got a lot of questions about australia we already had our segment on the united kingdom in all those countries we should go we should be like the duck calvin travels to australia i'll have to run that past allison i don't think we wait like a year okay we get these things grown a little bit and then i'll roll the producers over there too yeah he's wanting to go no we don't need him he's wanting some shrimp on the Bobby.

All right, I got two more emails that we can get through. We might get stuck on this one, though. And it's a good, it's a good Mother's Day kind of question, even though it's from a father. But it's about his child. He listens to our podcast, Taylor from Ohio. He listens all the time. He's really, a lot of times we've been talking about having faith recently. We've had some atheist email in, which is always awesome.

We appreciate you listening. Keep listening until you get on our train that we're on and we're rooting for you. but he has a question for us and it's how do I get my five-year-old daughter as excited about our father as I am as I am how do I get her to want to know God a five-year-old any advice there you know I think it's just time I think you know your kids

well one thing I always think about is how like you know God is our heavenly father and so our first kind of example of what a father looks like is our earthly father and sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's not a good thing. So I would just say for him, he's the father. That's the first kind of example

of what a father looks like. So show that unconditional love, let her know how much she's cared for by you and protected and loved by you and how much you love her and delight in her. And then hopefully she'll relate that to a heavenly father eventually.

Amen. All right. Here's our last one for the day. this one's a little tougher. Just being honest. Megan from beautiful Colorado. She's lived for God her whole life. Been waiting and waiting for God to answer multiple prayers for my life, but to no avail.

And my life continues to fall apart. What advice would you give a person who feels like God has forgotten about them? My first bit of advice is he hasn't. And then it continues, I'm ready to just give up and throw in the towel. I'm exhausted, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That's a tough one. Megan? Yeah. I would say first of all, like our heart goes out to you, Megan. You know, we know that in this world, we do experience a lot of heartache and trials and hard times and it, you know, you can get down, but know that God does see you. He is with you. He was never, ever, ever going to leave you,

never takes his eyes off of you. And we were talking about the other day how, you know, Paul, the verse about considerate pure joy when you face trials of many kinds because that produces long suffering produces patience and all these things they're producing for you something great that God is doing in you. Right. And how Paul wrote that, but he's the one who experienced, he was beaten like multiple times. He was shipwrecked. He was in prison. He was the best one to talk. about something like that because he experienced so many trials in this life but still in the end he said considerate joy which I know is not an easy thing to do it's definitely

not but I think that sometimes people think like oh because I'm experiencing difficult things in this life that must mean God is not with me but look at the heroes of faith in the Bible they experience so many hard things but that didn't mean God wasn't with them And God was with them through all of that. And he was doing things through their life. And, you know, one day, I think that, you know, the longer you live, you always can kind of look back and be like, oh, now I see what God was doing through there. It doesn't make it easier.

It doesn't make it, you know, go away. But you can't always kind of see the way God's hand was with you all the way through it. Yeah. I think the best answer I can give you is to go to Sadie's social media and go back to April 24th, when she spoke at a church here in town, and it was just what she talks about, the promises of God. And I think sometimes we do get,

and there's people out there that preach that if you become a Christian, everything's going to get easier and better. And, you know, wrong. And for a long time, and I think I was wrong on this, God promises a lot of things. And the ultimate promises.

The end result is there. And that's the promise you have to focus on. Yeah. Because sometimes it ain't easy. Well, and there's nothing. in life when you're in a certain season, it seems like it is forever. Oh, yeah.

And then when you turn around and look back, you're like, man, that was really not that long. Like, you look back on it after you've come through it, and you're like, wow, that wasn't that bad. But when you're in it, when you are in it, it seems like there's no way out. You can't dig your way to the top. No matter what I do, I keep falling.

I keep falling, but you keep getting up. And then you look back on it and you're like, holy cow okay so so that wasn't that bad and the other thing i would say to are you sure that these prayers aren't being answered are you sure that his answer isn't better isn't better than and it may not be the answer you want so therefore you may be having a blind eye to it look at everything that could be the answer that's in front of you that would be my suggestion because i know you know there's a lot of them you're like man why don't you answer this I've been praying about this.

And then all of a sudden you're like, wow, you answered that like three weeks ago. Yeah. And you're like, man, shoot, boy, wasn't I stupid? Because that's not the answer you desire or that you think it should be. And sometimes it's hard to accept that answer. Yeah. But it is an answer. And you're like, well, okay then.

You know, I think you're right, though. When you look back at the end of the day and you keep walking towards that promise of God, I always look at the Bible It's not a rule book It's a playbook And if you actually go And you try and do what it says It's not so we'll be sad here

And in heaven one day It's the best way you can live Like the absolute best way You can live on this earth Is written down in the Bible And all them old dudes that you're like Man they really got it figured out It's because they just one day at a time

Went through a bunch of junk And figured it out Use the rest of them And now they're content and happy. But this man has said it before. It's okay to be mad at God. Yeah. It's okay.

Yeah. Ain't that right, God? Just tell him why you're mad. Yeah. That's good. I'll tell you what Paula does. Paula, she writes her prayers down, and she'll go back and look at them, and it'll be something, and it might take a while to get, you know, because we want everything right now. it might be a while and she'll go oh he look what happened here and look well you can look back

and you got it and she oh well he is you know you finally realize there's more answered than not yeah that's good there was a time in my life i remember i have been praying for something for a really long time and i actually was sitting down in a therapist office and i thankfully this therapist is a Christian and is a strong believer because i said well it just feels hopeless because i had just been praying for it for so long and felt like it was it just wasn't ever going to change. I said, just feels hopeless.

And she just, like, stop me in my track. She was like, all right, stop right now. Because when you say something is hopeless, you're denying God's power because God is a God of hope. And there is nothing that is hopeless with him. And it was just like so good for me to hear because like sometimes I think, you know, you're talking to a friend. They'll be like, oh, well, you know, it is hopeless.

Or, you know, yeah, that situation. That's never going to change or whatever. But somebody say, like, nope, you serve a God who is full of hope. So there is absolutely nothing that is hopeless. with him and it just stopped me and it reminded me that like and now that situation has done a complete change it's a complete answer to prayer something that I once thought was really hopeless and thought you know I don't know that I'm ever going to get the answer um to this so that's awesome don't give up what was her name Megan from beautiful Colorado we'll be praying for yeah Megan

and you can get through this absolutely you can you can you can and you will yes that is that is a guarantee. And how weird is it that the Bible verse of the day is Isaiah 410 from Corey and my memoir, Gene Howard, brought to you on the Bible app by Corey's dynamite daughter Sadie. Isaiah 4110, so do not fear for I am with you. Do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Megan, read that every single morning. That's pretty cool. No, God's praying for us.

Wow, that's amazing. Holy Spirit working right here because my mom sent that right before we got. I didn't even have a Bible verse plan, and that got sent, and then those were the emails. Megan, the Lord loves you. Amen. I love you. Corey, thank you so much for joining us. It's great to be with y'all.

It's always fun talking to y'all. We'll be back. Come back. Right here. See y'all next time. Thank you.
