Si is convinced Jase is three-quarters wood duck. Jay excites Si and John-David with a story of a "large black cat" running in the woods. Godwin and Jay give great advice on how to split up chores around the house, and John-David has an important message about not taking time for granted. --- Learn more about your ad choices.

I might take that to the house. To the hospital. Hey, go ahead and see what he fits. See if he misses it. He'll miss it. Yeah. Well, he probably, who knows what Martin's doing. I'd like, he's busy.

I'd like to have a brisket right now. I just go ahead and line it up on there and smooth it out a little bit, then eat the whole brisket. You wouldn't share it? No. He's not big enough sharing. I'm hungry. I have seen that man right there eat six hamburgers in one sitting.

And these are homemade, fill hamburgers. Hey, and that's one. Hey, that's one. Hey, you want it? Run it through the garden. Ready to put all of it on there. Wait, you'd like, this isn't just meat, cheese and bread. Oh, no, no.

This is the onions of the garden pile of it. Keep it up. Hey. And look, the first four will just disappear in a New York second. Okay. That's just a tasting phase. Okay. Then you say, okay, is there any left?

You have a couple more. I said, well, I'll get up and take care of them. Well, they had the quality thing. Then we're going to the really enjoy phase. You have to eat four hamburgers? Oh, yeah. That's more. That's to get the edge off.

Okay. Then you eat the other two to say, okay, let's see if these first four was really as good as I thought he was. Yeah, yep, yep, it's there. He does make a fine, fried burger. Oh, yeah. You think the house is fixed to burn down. Smashburg. You do.

Because there's a cloud. There's a cloud in the kitchen, okay, of smoke. Because if you ain't got smoke, no, you ain't got a good hamburger. No. His has got a little, what do we call it, Stone? The bark. He's got a little bark on it. They're crunching on the outside.

Grisly. A moist. Crunchy on the outside. That's like stones. Beef tenderloin. Yeah. It's got a bark to it. Did you not eat breakfast this morning?

It'll make you sit up and bark. Okay. What you do. What's fine. Are you hungry? Since we started talking about food, yeah, I can't wait till the night. I know. What time is.

The deer hunting is just a necessary evil to get to the real deal. Si's going to a deer hunting with Willie this evening. That's right. So somebody needs to be there to film that. That's right. We need to have a camera. So I don't let him shoot one of the up-and-comers. Oh, no, no, no.

That's the thing. I'm going to say, hey, look, I know you the boss. I know you're the one with the money. but hey if you shoot that deer right there I said what what's in here that I can hit you upside the head with

because if you shoot that deer I'm fixing to just bust whatever I can find here on your head he's on a record to say you know sigh passed on a nice buck Oh yeah Oh no that's the only thing I heard from Last week

Yeah during the veterans week We hadn't heard that Oh no look look we're sitting there Okay and it's you know We got like deer under us, around us, to the left, to the right, just everywhere. Y'all, and I'm looking to how I like a two-step. Tell me, that's another one.

And then I said, hold it there. I think that's a buck. Y'all Stone said, well, look him over. And then tell me what you're going to do. This is a, this is a brute real deal. Okay, yeah. And look, he's just about, what, 75 yards? Oh, he's about 45, y'all.

Or 40, about, okay, I figured it's longer. He's clums. 45-yard, Joe, and I've got him over a doctorate, you know, and I'm looking at him over. I said, yeah, I'm thinking about myself. I said, big old buck, and I got the green light. I can shoot this sucker if I want him. And you didn't? No, no, and I look at him.

He said, look him over. I looked him over, and I said, you're not going to believe this. He said, what? I said, I can't kill him. And he said, what are you talking about? I said, he ain't before. I said, we need to let him walk this year. Let him live one more year, he said.

Let him live this year and we'll shoot him next year. Willie's going to shoot him now. And then I had to, of course, everything that happens in the deer woods, I got to tell Willie because he's my boss. Yeah. Because if he finds out that I don't tell him something that I know, I get in trouble. So I got to tell him everything.

You don't keep fingers from the boss. So I said, well, Si passed on. We call him DT because he had a drop time last. year he's the biggest rack buck we have in the woods on the woods and sly and willy's you know what willy said he said if i see him i ain't passing on it oh yeah then i'm on call sigh as soon as i kill him oh no no i hope he's seen the night because i'm gonna tell him i hope y'all don't oh no i do because just for the fun of it you know because willie i said if you pick that crossbow up i said what's in here that's made of iron since you're so hard head made of iron it's right made of iron i said since

It's just so hard at, if you shoot that dare, I'm going to bust this iron on your head. Bust him in his head. That's right. All right, well. Then you're going to hear, st to-toon. Arrows gone. Well, before violence happens between family, we should probably take it. Let's take a break.

I'm going to give him a rough time, though, if he shoots him. Don't let him shoot him, side. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outsides. side cook and 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 it's 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 come to him but with tritels beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way try try try Hotels 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. If you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash.

Don't. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. All right, Cy. So this evening, I'm going to put you all in the same place that me, you, and Bullfrog sat the other day. Which was very exciting. The scene of the crime. Oh, yeah. And hey, look, we're sitting there, and it's about 9 o'clock,

and Stone says, oh, man, may, move, there's a buck making circle. But anyway, y'all, so, look, y'all, so I'm looking, Stone's got his binoculars up, he's looking way over there in the woods. So I keep waiting, I keep waiting, they keep waiting, and then right down here, here he comes, just, yeah. and I told B.K. You know, Stone's already handed it as a gun. You know, she was getting settled on it and all that.

And I said, I said, he's right behind the tree, BK, fixing to come out. So let me tell the story behind this book, it's a book we call Big Red. He's got a bright red coat. Beautiful, dear. And he's huge. I mean, and I've been watching him for two years. And last year he was... 30 yards.

Last year, he was a bull. Oh, yeah. For North Louisiana. of deer, you know, he's really good deer. And a sigh passed on him last year. He said, let him grow another year. Well, guess what? He grew about 30 inches.

Oh. No, stone's putting out of the protein. Okay, for antler growth. So this is his peak. He's five and a half year old this year. Yeah. And Louisiana, a five and a half year old buck is at his peak. Prime.

So he walks up. He's ready. And I give BK. The green light. And when she's shot, that deer fell over all four legs stiff

so we're filming Max felt it but Sye's hugging her hi-fiving she's smiling you know it was sigh about three minutes later

about three minutes what we look up and that deer is standing up he goes right by us but he wasn't ready he ran by us so he

gone it's like it came back to life faked you out so yeah because normally she shoots high shoulder shot.

Okay, which is normally just they're down, they're not going to move. It's over. And that's what we thought. Nope. Well, she had. I looked down there and he kicked about four times and the next day he'd come in by us.

I said, he, you know. He laid there for three minutes. Oh, yeah. Gets up. I don't know. Lazarus. Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

Resurrection. I'm serious. So she looked at me like, what'd you do he gets to play what did you do she did she was on

you got Roberts you got Roberts in her no yo if she looked at dad like you gave me the green light yep and she

I mean she's a very good shot but in this case the deer had his butt torches for about six minutes thing

she was on him the whole time and I looked because I was telling I said BK shaking a little yeah yeah but she had been on him

for six minutes she got a little fatigue I should have took the weapon away from her and looking back on it, but, you know, she's, I mean, she shoots way better than I do. But she got a little fatigued because she had to hold the gun on the deer for so long, six minutes. And she's pretty small kid. And when I looked over my shoulder and I saw the deer turn back, which I thought was pretty close to broadside, if not broadside. Turns out, looking at the woods, it was a little bit quartered.

and she was let she pulled her shot to the right a little bit and it went through that neck roast so when it hit that neck roast that it just shocked that deer no vitals kinetic energy it just hit it shocked literally shocked it into temporary paralysis and it laid there for three minutes and then all of a sudden got its wits back and said i got to get out of here go so we wait an hour I get down, look, no blood, no nothing, nothing. She almost scared it to death. Oh, yeah. Then three hours later, called the most famous deer dog man in North Louisiana,

and we tracked it for about a mile, and that dog was something else, I tell you. And we got about a mile into the boughs of the neighbors over there, and that dog stopped and turned around and looked at this owner. And old Gary, he looked at me and said, Jay, this dog was. telling me there ain't nothing wrong with this deer. He just told me, hey, you ain't going to find this one. He said, the hunt is over. The hunt is over.

I said, well, he said, you'll be getting pictures of him a couple weeks. I said, well, I sure hope so. Oh, I told her that. I said, to make her feel better, I said, hey, look, don't worry about it. Okay. I said, because here's my prophecy on that. I said, the deer, you hit him high and just blew some meat off his neck. He'll be all right, because I've done it.

Okay, in Germany, twice. I said, he'll be all right. And I said, I'll kill him at my stand. And you're going to kill him at my stand. I said, then when I do, I'm going to ride you like a yard dog. That's right. That's what he told me. Yeah.

He said, so, hey, just know that it's in the future. I fixed to ride you like a yard dog. I kill Big Red. He said, oh, he said, boy, for all you done messed up now. Uncle Sy's going to get him. Yes, I'm going to get him, and then I'm going to jump on you just, yeah. Okay. I'm rooting for her.

Oh, no. Well, that's the Robertson way there. Oh, no. Oh, how you can't, if you get a chance to strap of Robertson, you got to strap them. You'd have to strap them. Then you're going to let them know about it. That's right. Then you're going to let them know about it every chance you get.

Because they're going to do it to you. They're going to do it to you. It is. Yeah. But it is. I mean, once you stop shooting everything that walks like I used to do, and you can sit there and watch. deer.

Oh, no, it's way more fun. Me and Paula was on a deer stand another morning. It's getting daylight, and the thrashers start hollering, you know, they're the first bird of wait. And then you might see a coon.

A fox squirrel comes, just jumping in a limb right beside you. And deer, I got a deer phone, I named him Sneezy. He coming there the other day. Sneezzy. He was Nate, milling around on

ground and it's kind of like some where an opening was the water had it clean where the back water come up and just them old twigs just come up and he stuck his nose he stuck his nose in one and he just sat there sneezing and he was scratching his nose but i was thinking you know a lot of people don't get to see that what we get to see in the woods you know because the other the day, I told them. We'd been sitting there for like two hours. I said, I think this is the quietest morning I've ever been. Not a bird, not a nothing.

I said, I ain't heard a bird. I ain't even heard a cat squirrel or fox squirrel barking. I said, usually blue jays are making a fuss and all kind of, like you're talking about thrashers, making all kind of noise. I said, this is like for two hours. I said, I ain't heard nothing. Yeah, I know. I was beginning.

I wanted to say, and we ain't going to kill doodily squat. Yeah. Because it's too quiet. Ain't nobody woke up around this joints yet. But us, you know. Yeah, I know. But I can remember sitting on a stand, you know, after I, you know, in my teenage years and maybe not say a deer, but once a month, maybe even one a year.

Oh, no. When I was growing up, if you seen the deer track, hey, you was going to. considered Kid Carson. Oh, yeah, go back. You was one of the mountain men. Yeah. You see the deer track. Yeah.

I'm serious, because there wasn't any. Yeah. And that's what the mentality, everybody, you better shoot him. You might not see anything. Well, no, no. What always surprises me is, is you go in there way before dark, you know, before light, okay?

You sit and everything settles down. You know, and you're sitting there, you ain't making a noise, you ain't talking, you know, and you're looking, and then just all of a sudden, you're looking, it's like you've been blind for 30 minutes because there he is standing in the middle of the road. I know, he just showed up. You go, I've been watching it the last 15 minutes,

and nothing's moving, and then I'm just looking, and he's there. You can't hear. Or the nose there, or four doors are there. And you said, what did they come from? The worst one is when the leaves are off, the trees about that deep. And when you walk until you stand,

you sound like a herd of elephants. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And then you're sitting in your stand and you look down because something catches your eye and there's a big doe that weighs 200 pounds standing right under you.

And you didn't hear nothing. Yeah, because I know I have a hearing problem, hearing loss, but, you know, still. Yeah. Stepping on crunch leaves. It's something away. God made the hoof on a deer that's pointed

and like this. They go in. They don't crush, they don't crush leaves like we do. They push them aside and they don't make no noise. The wildest one is when a deer is in water

and not in a hurry. It's they're slipping. They don't make ripples. No ripples. None. I watch three walls. buy me in water and it's like dude

I didn't he see no water drip off of it you know who else don't make ripples when they're waiting oh slick oh Jason I will say that because he is literally Jason is literally going after a cripple has walked up and sat down on one of them mounds we got out there in the water on the pipeline and sat down

and he sat down and looks over to his right because it's about as big as this table. Yeah. He's on one side. There's an eight-point buck right there at the other side. He just, hmm. When you flip up on a buck

and sit down on the same little piece of ground, he just rested up. Now that's slick. You've done something. That's why they call him slick. Yeah, that's why he called him slick. Well, let's take a break and we'll talk about old slick. Willie said he's looking forward to you hunting with him this evening,

shooting that buck you passed on. Hey, tell him, I text him, say, bring him a baseball bat, will you? And if he asked you why, I didn't tell him. He's fixing to be here a little bit, you can tell him. We'll shoot a podcast with him about this, too. Oh, yeah. Spoiler alert for Nick. So, Jay's can move through the water like an animal.

Let me tell you something about Jace. Yeah, we've been friends 20-something years. he is the best the no doubt about it the best in the world at slipping up on stuff there's nobody better

we call him we call him the stilker it's not a stalk it's a stilk yeah because there's a different it's almost like he's he's moving

but he ain't made well no no You can't see him move. I got to tell this story because I think he's about half, maybe three quarters, wood duck, okay? Because when he was a child, okay, me and Phil went hunting, come back, we got three wood ducks a piece, okay?

We come in a house, I bring in the ducks, we're picking them, and Phil said, wait a minute, I ain't got by five. He said, where's the other one? He said, we kill six. I said, I know I brought it in. He said, no, he didn't it have been where we'd have picked it already. I said, I'm telling you, I brought it in.

So Kay comes in laughing and, you know, she just put the kids to bed. She'd come in and slap. She said, tell her, I said, come with me. You need to see this. So I get behind him. They go in the bedroom. Jason's over in bed. And he's got a wood duck Drake, which is the prettiest duck there is.

Okay, and he's using him for a pillow. he's sound asleep with that wood duck Drake under his ears. You made that story sound cute, but it kind of sounds gross. Oh, no, no, it is cute, but that's when Phil said, that's what I'm talking about, boys. I got one here. But anyway, that's why he's the best crippled man, okay? He is that.

We've actually shot a duck crippled him. He fell for 250 yards over in the wood, you know? Jay said, hey, he sits there for about five minutes. He said, I better go get him now. He said, we ain't flying very good. I'll go over and get him now. So he takes off. He's gone 35 minutes.

No shots. Okay, and he comes back. And the first time I'm, yeah, tell him, well, Jay's, Phil. Phil's all the way. Well, Jay, she got a story for us. He said, oh, yeah, I got a good one for you today with this one. He said, I went over there. He said, I knew exactly where he had failed.

He said, I looked over there. He said, it was one feather over there by a brush top. He said, then I seen a little ripple, you know. He said, so I start easing over there. And he said, I see him. He's in the brush top, and he can go. And he said, I started to shoot him, and he said, blow him up too bad.

He said, so I'm easing toward him. And he said, just get closer, close, and closer, he said, got him. No, no, no. Look, he rinses, he look, he rinses down in his waiters. And pull out of that wood duck that's about three-quarters of way alive. He can mind there and fly. He said, there you go, boy.

He said, this is, he said, I'm proud of my mind. myself on this one. He said, this is probably the best retrieve I have ever made. He said, because I, he said, I really, he said, oh, y'all, he just threw him up, duck just took off. He let him get out of about 30 yards, boom, and killed him. He said, he said, I'm telling you, I'm proud of this one right here, buddy. So he caught a live gun. He caught a duck that could actually fly because he brought him back, took him out of his waiters, and threw him up and then killed him. I tell him about 30 yards. trying to lend you my microphone there when you were traveling in your story and you scared me to death when you grabbed you.

Oh, no, no, no, no. You could do. That was quick. He's the best cripple man. Hey, there ain't nobody even come close to it. Oh, that is a fact. Well, you know, I'm pretty excited. Me and Sire are going to South Dakota here in a couple weeks. That's going for, I'm looking forward to that. And we're hooking up with Camp Valor Outdoors, which is a nonprofit that takes, uh, I'm looking forward to that. Uh, we're hooking up with Camp Valor Outdoors, which is a nonprofit that takes, uh, wounded veterans on hunts and fishing trips and helps some of those guys get acclimated to civilian life. And it's a good deal. So we're going to go do a little pheasant hunt and try to raise some money for them. So if you're interested to help and check out Camp Valor Outdoors, they're on Facebook. They have a webpage, and I'm sure that they'll be happy to accept any donations that you can help them out with. This is a really, really good cause.

But we're going on a pheasant hunt. Have you been a pheasant hunting? No. I've seen one on one of the outdoor shows, and it was in South Dakota. So I'm looking forward to it because, hey, they got like 80 acre field, and they line the hunters up and the dogs,

and then they got another line of hunters at the end of this 80-acre field. I'm going to be on the end of the end of the. field. Yeah. Because, hey, they start, the dogs start working and everybody's moving and there are literally thousands of pheasants start jumping up, hens and roosters. And most of time, all you hear is rooster, you know, hens, don't shoot him. You know, rooster, bam, bap, bough, bough, bough, bough, shoot him. So I'm looking forward to this. This is going to be a riot. You know, I heard there's going to be another special guest there. Well, who else is coming?

Well, I know it. You don't even got to be mean-looking to be scary. Oh, yeah. He's the man. Y'all talk about them pheasant. I pulled in my driveway the other day, and there is a pheasant. In your driveway? Yeah.

stories I'm going to verify. What is going on? Oh, somebody erased it. According to the map of where pheasants live, Calhoun ain't one of them. Yeah, and West Monroe ain't one of them either. I concur. He said, he ain't going to argue with it with it.

I'm excited right now. Well, let, we're going to take a break and let us go out of time. Uh-oh. What is that? What is that? What is that? it's a cock or two that you thought was a feather

but we're going to take a break we'll be right back after Definitely a pheasant. That is a pheasant. What did you think I was lying? Yep, that is a pheasant. Oh, yeah, look at that. Paula took a video where he was going by a boat target. If that ain't wild.

Well, I don't have to admit. Louisiana. So now, will you admit that a black panther? Well, that's a good segue because me and Psi were driving out the other day out of the woods. Oh, yeah. What we see. And I saw, I hate to say this, I don't want to say it. I saw a cat, a dark cat.

He asked him, Max is in the back. He said, Max, you see him? Max, said, no, I didn't see him. Bible cat. I said, I said, nope. I said, since you had said nothing but just I've seen a black cat. And you said, and it wasn't a house cat. I said, well, let me tell you what I was saying.

up, got out of the four wheel and stood up and I said, and he was about, he comes to right here on my thigh. I said, he was that big. He was that close to him? And hey, yeah. No, no. And I thought I seen his tail and I said, well, I can't say that.

I said, because he was running directly away from me with his butt to me. I said, but he was black and he was big and he was fast. Because it was, he's gone. Yep. I can confirm That's all

I said Yep That's just about the size That I saw But I'm not I'm not Convinced about how big Size says he is

But Bobcat has a longer But this was a dark It was not a bobcat It was too dark Nope I thought it When I first saw it

I thought it was a coy Oh Yeah No wrong Wrong shape. I thought it was a cow, but Long shape. Then we got, it stood there for about two seconds.

Yeah. Wrong shape. And I thought my instinct was that's a cat. Yeah. It's wrong shape. That's not a dog. That's not a dog. Yep.

That's a long shape. That's a cat. So it's just, I did just warm. And then I saw a tail go off in the thicket. And I thought, that ain't no way. But, but, and that was, I would say right before you get to the gate, going to the lair. In that corner. Right there when you come around?

In the first curve. First curve. First curve past gate. So I go up, the two days later I show up at the layer where we keep all their stuff. Oh, man. And I look out on the steps of where old Dan sleeps. And there's this big gray Tomcat staring at me. I'll have to look at the cat because, no.

Right now, no, he ain't, that time cat ain't that big. This is a big cat now. One of those big tabby cats. One of them big ones. He's big. Well, no, because here's the thing that got me. The black one, it wasn't just black. It had a kind of sheen to it also,

which was a lower color. Someone would call it panther-like. Well, I'm just saying it actually had the shine to it. But to shine, was lower, you know, than the black behind it. It was weird looking. Do you know why? It was weird looking.

Do you know why the chicken crossed the playground? No. To get to the other slide. The other slide, okay. Oh, howdy. Stone did not approve it out. Is that catching the chicken and gets to the other side of the playground? I thought preacher jokes were bad.

No, no, hey, this reminds me, okay, I have seen this, this makes the foresighting I've seen of something that was unidentifiable. I've seen the other three times, three times was once on the middle of levee, once on the road, and I can't remember where they're... What did you say on the middle of levee? Something that was black and big,

and I just rode it off as a bar. No, I rode it off as a river otter because one of the holes that Red digs in, the patch holes in the road with water fills up in the wintertime and when I run up there on the four-wheeler right quick when I seen him,

there was ripples in that pond, in that little puddle. So I sit there for like 30 minutes, hoping he'd come up, just to see. Nope, didn't come up, so I don't know. But that's four unidentified objects that I fain there were critters that were black. The difference between you and your brother

is when I'm riding with you and we see something unidentified, we just look at it and talk about it. When I'm riding with your brother and we see something's unidentified, the bullets start flying. Well, say, I didn't have no on my gun. You want to let me take the pistol. We and Phil pulled up to the privy-old one,

day and this grass is neck tall. Yeah, I was weak. And you were there, too. Something takes off running through the grass. I mean, who knows what it is, you know? Pay-ow. And I'm just, look, I thought, I wonder what that is. Next thing I know, pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pah, pop-pah.

Just spraying bullets. And it's like, good night. Did you find any blood? No. He's getting out. I would just fix that because usually if he would pop-a-pah, there's blood somewhere. In his mind, I thought they got hit. But in his mind, everything is a beaver.

And the beavers wreak havoc on us. We're trying to save our trees and we're fighting beavers. If you had fought beavers as long as Phil Robertson had fallen, you would have a hate farm like he's got. In his mind, everything's a beaver. So, yeah, I bet you that was a beaver. I'm like, well, what if it was a small child? Who knows what it was? In the woods.

Well, out in the woods, but still, you know what I'm saying. It's supposed to know, in front, behind, and all around, you're talking. So when I go to Phil's house, I call him first. That's a good idea. Hey, Phil, I'm coming over. Don't. I'm coming over. Okay, what are you doing?

I'm going to cook supper. Oh, okay. That's a good idea. You want to call ahead before you go down there. One time I brought over something for Al, and I went up to the country kitchen. And when I turned around, there was Phil standing there. there with his AR-15 pointed at me. And he said, what about it?

I said, don't she, it's me. That's right. It's me. It's me. Oh, wow. So don't ever go sneaking up on. Yeah, I fix that because man's that death threat. You know.

Oh, yeah, there you go. What's the what about it? What about it? What about it? Have a Bible study. We give you want. You just got to ask. He is supposed to know where your head is.

That's it. What about it? So what about the time that this was, what, 15, 20 years ago, they were duck cutting in Washington, standing at some ratty motel. Yeah. And Phil's in there with his long handles on, with his shotgun in his lap.

They were all sleeping on the floor. Yeah. And look, this is a rat hole, I'll tell you, okay. Okay. And look, they had, when they pulled up there and we went in the room and Phil said, hey, we're going to leave his guns in the truck? He said, if you do, back it up all the way against the side of the wall. Yeah.

So Phil said, hey, have me mine. I'm taking mine with me. So look, he's in the bed like the song said. You know, this was when he was like 35 years old dark black beard, okay, in good shape. about 2 o'clock okay you know he don't sleep

he ain't a heavy sleeper okay he hears the doorkov squeaking so he just he just rinsed over and grabbed that shotgun 12 gauge of Benelli and he's sitting there

and his underwear up on the bed and the guy backed in the room opened the door and backed in the room you know and when he turns around there's He throws his hands up and says, wrong from. Yeah, I thought he could say.

You think? Wrong room. And look, Phil said that guy died out of that back around. I bet they did. The guy had a key. He backed out, okay, and just, he backed all the way just out of sight. Yeah. Yeah.

Never to be seen again. Did you think about shooting him? Yeah. He said, yeah. He said, if he'd have moved wrong, he said, said he'd have been blue out the door. The open door, he said, I just blew him about to buy out. Just to show you what kind of a randy hotel.

Yeah, what are you doing? I'm telling you. If he had blew him out, he'd just walk through and shut the door, got back to bed. Wrong room. Wrong room. Phil's about to go western on somebody. Yeah. Sometimes you need to.

Oh, man. That's a classic. That is amazing. Well, if you've learned anything from this podcast, don't go down to Phil Robertson's house. I'll wait all ahead of time to give me my heads up. Hey, bud, I'm on the way down at the house. Just letting you know. Call two or three times.

Yeah. To be sure. All right, we're going to take our last break, and we'll be right back after. I got some emails here. Hello at duck call room. com. If you ever want to email in, I read a bunch of them this morning. Stone, are you ready?

It's got to be like. Stone can't take nothing heavy. No, no, don't get nothing too heavy. Well, I have one specific. specifically for you. That was three days ago. Okay. It said next time Stone is on, I need advice.

This is from Nate in Illinois. Hey guys, needing some help here. My wife hates to cook. I'd like to be able to help more with suppers, but find it tough to have the time to run my small business and help out consistently in this area. Just wondering if Jay could give some advice on how he handles this, grocery shopping, meal planning, meal prep,

all that fun stuff. Yep. Well, that's a good question. And it took a few years to get that lined out because my wife, before we got married, she just come out and said it, I'm not going to cook. And, you know, I thought about the good, far outweighed that. So what it comes down to is you have got to plan ahead if you're running low on time. And I run into the same situation.

So I like to cook big meats that could make more than one meal, preferably two, three, four meals down the road. So say, you smoke your brisket. Well, the next day, I still eat sliced brisket. Well, after that, you know, that turns into a pulled brisket sandwich, which can also turn into some pulled brisket with scrambled eggs, which is delicious, by the way. Yeah.

and you know just something like that will last you pretty much all week same thing with ribs um just i just you know if you get into it get into cooking um you need to get to a point where you can stretch that thing out if need be especially if you're running low on time but uh i would say uh focus on smoke meats and then go from there. And if you're short on time, you really don't have time to be a bona fide chef. You know, you could get you a pellet grill, something more than you. That they works like an oven.

Turn those big meats into other meals. That's just the way I do it. I like the sound of, they've got the, here's my, my observation on this. Nan and Stone have got the perfect setup. She come out straight forward. I ain't going to cook. Yep. So he cooks dessert.

Okay, the good outweighs the bad. I'll take over the cooking. Yep. Okay. It's made him an extraordinary chef, by the way. Especially, he's a meatologist, is what Dr. Dean says. Okay. So anything in the meat range, okay, because most time he said he cooks big meals,

and most time he's got a bunch of parasites that always show up, you help him eat it. So there ain't no leftovers. okay because I'm one of them there is sometimes but no it's uh but they've got the perfect situation yeah he enjoys cooking okay

she's a she's a good dessert lady well what is it what is this guy's name Nate Nate what does his wife do does he say she just don't like cooking she don't like cooking she kind of laid down the law like well she needs to do the grocery shopping yeah and uh the dishwashing That's what my wife does.

I like that. So it's a trade, you know. We had kids. Good trade off. She can't handle the puke, and I didn't want to deal with the diarrhea. So we made a trade. You handled the poop, I'll handle the puke. That's a good trade.

Oh, no, they got the perfect situation. Because the poop happened every day. The puke happened like once a month. So that was a real good trade for me. You know. Come out on the better end. Oh, yeah. Good trade.

No, she washes dishes. She does grocery shopping. I do the cooking, you know. I wash dishes for like two years when we had kids, but Alson took that back over. I don't think she trusts me to do it right. Another thing you can do, I'd like to clean while I cook. You know, I'll use a bowl, and then I'll rest it out before it sticks to the bowl. Yeah.

That's important. Oh, yeah. You should hang out a little longer and tell Willie about that move. Yeah. I used to do all that. He'll be here in a minute. Garbage, but then. I didn't want Paul to get all the press

because she wasn't feeling needed or, you know, all that. Wait, what? I just cook. You do everything. They get all the press. The whole thing about this advice is, okay. Do whatever works for you and your woman. Yeah, you just got to talk it out.

If the woman does not like to cook, okay, if you make her cook, you're probably going to eat bad food. That's very, very good. Because she don't care about it. Okay. So it would be better for you and the whole family. I don't know if you got kids or not, for you to cook. Okay.

And like Stone said, hey, okay, I'll cook, babe, as long as you clean up. Yeah. And, you know, if you're pressed for time, you've got your own business, just learn how to smoke meats. You know, you throw the meat on a smoke and walk away from it. Uh-huh. Let it go for six hours. You'll go do your job, why you're cooking your meat.

I'd like to know how long they've been married because that's not something that, because it doesn't say anything about kids. kids. That's not something me and I also knew how to do before Kielack. We couldn't cook. Hot pockets

and mac and cheese. Gross. Well, most people can't even heat up water without burning it. Okay, when they first get married. I know. Right. That's life.

So it is a time thing. Like, you got to figure out how to work in a marriage. You'd be surprised. Around the meals. Like on this grilling what you can do. You just think it's hard.

It ain't. I mean, there's a technique. The key to all this is, okay, anytime you say time time is management. Yeah, the people, they'll say hi. Okay, that's why Stone said, hey, he likes smoking stuff. Because, hey, you can put it on the grill, and depending on what you're smoking,

you can, the time factor is there. Well, Stone's down. Ribs, two hours, have long. Okay, brisket, longer. Whatever. Yeah, biscuit, 24 hours for me. Yeah, 24 hours. 24 hours.

Yeah. But that, like this evening, I'm doing, Willie wants me to do a beef tenderloin for a La Roaches coming in. And they also want me to take them hunting. So I'm going to put the tenderloin on, take them to the deer stand, come back, get everything else ready. And have it time to when they get back, it's time to eat. By dark and be ready.

then you have the presentation but that takes practice because that's what that was when I first started cooking and stuff that's what I was terrible at timing everything was coming out at different I was like okay this is that's going to be cold that's going to be hot so you keep cooking the same meal

it gets better and then the side everything but you ain't to learn to learn what stones learn you've got some stuff I have I couldn't do no beef tender meals okay you've got to let the The meat rest.

God, that's right. Oh, yeah. Okay, so that you've got to think of all this. You know, when the meat is resting, that's when you prepare all the sides. Let the meat rest for about 15 minutes. You know, make the salad, makes whatever, you know. You know, nan, then like nan, you know, sweet potatoes.

Excellent meal. Excellent meal. Especially when stoned and nan cook them because they cut them about a quarter inch thick. then they put a little stuff on them and put them another them hey it'll make you slap your mama

I'm telling you unless your mama's mean I like the sweet taters but I can't have the extra little stuff on it oh boy olive oil and oh no the sweet potatoes are excellent no he means

I'll fix you just go home a rabbit and the cinnamon and the marshmallows I fix the rabbits he's talking about sweet potato pie yeah anything good I can't have

I didn't cook cook myself up a meal here and I'm starving. I know. All right. Well, before we get out of here, I got a verse. You got something? Nope.

I got one thing I just want to say, have everybody praying for a guy. We had an employee that worked for us for about eight years, Mr. Ralph Coston, and he passed away just unfortunately too young. He quit working a while back, but it was tough on his family, and he started getting better, and then just one day his heart gave out, so we're all kind of bummed about that. But be praying for his family. And just one thing, just in the past week's been weird for me with that. But I realized I was going to the visitation, right?

And I never, I was like, I got to talk to his wife. And I didn't know what I would say. And I was like, well, I guess I'll just tell you what Ralph meant to me. And then I realized, I never told Ralph what Ralph meant to me. Which is kind of a bummer, right? Yeah. I think Ralph knew. And he's a good dude.

And I'll see him again one day. But I just wanted to throw that out there. If you got somebody in your life and even if it's just a coworker relationship, You know, tell them what they mean to you. Do something weird this week and freak somebody out and do that. Hey, I love you. Yeah, just something like that. But, you know, pray for them.

And that was just something I learned this week. I was like, man, I got to tell his wife that. But I really went. I saw him like a week ago. And I didn't, I was like, hey, man, what's up? Never thought he'd be gone. So. Yeah, don't take time for granted.

Yeah. Because he was only 59. Yeah. His 60th birthday party ended up being the day of his funeral. So it was a bummer deal, but we loved Ralph, and we know he's up there dipping shiners in heaven for the apostles now, I guess, because he was our aquatics director and he was the man. But let me give you a verse, kind of go along with that. Matthew 5 for, blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. We have a hope and we have a comfort, and his name is Jesus Christ.

See y'all next time. Bye.
