And now it's time for the duck call room. And welcome to the duck call room. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We are here. We do have a guest for just a brief moment because there has been a development. Y'all have all seen Jordan on here numerous times before. I don't know. Do you know what the development?

No, he has no idea. I ain't got a clue. That's the beauty of this. But I'm not going to say anything because I wasn't there. But these two gentlemen were there. so I'm going to let this happen. Okay, I was driving. Jordan was sitting right next to me.

Okay. We're going down the levee. Now, you remember what happened a week ago? Yeah. We're driving to the duck hole. I got a rig full of men and this critter runs across the foal wier. So this is another first.

Okay, so let's tell the story. All right, so that's the premise. So we saw the critter last week. We saw the critter last week, unidentified, two men behind me, no idea. I thought immediately, Big Cat, okay? I've never thought that before in my life. I can, I can verify that. Okay, I've never, I was, oh, I was always been against it since the beginning.

I was on the side of logic, right, for a long time. but recent developments have got me considering alternatives. Okay, strongly considering the alternative. From what I saw and then what we heard later on that morning come from that same direction. So that being said, that was a week ago. Went two days ago? Two days ago, me and Jordan riding down the lead,

the main levy coming from the north in the side by side. Okay, we get it. This was Friday. This was Friday. Yeah. I'm, I'm saying y'all leave together. That's right.

Okay. Well, you were doing a podcast that morning. Yeah, I'm doing a podcast one of the same. Okay. So I'll go by, I get about halfway down the levee for some, there's a rut coming up. So I'm looking at the rut.

And all of a sudden, this man here, who never yells or hollers, raises his voice ever. He said, did you see that? As loud as he can scream, and I stop the rig, and I'll let you finish the story, Jordan.

Yep. So Stone's looking off to the side, and I'm just looking dead in front of us, and about 45 to 50 yards, I see a mountain lion, jump across the road, pale, I don't know, three, three and a half feet long. Okay, this is the Puma, the mountain lion.

A Puma? I would have called, seen plenty of them out west. Yeah. 100% my first thought mountain lion as soon as I saw it. Okay. What color was it? Well, it was shadowy.

So we had about, what was like noon, wasn't it? I mean, it was, it was a middle of the day. It was middle of the day. So obviously it's dark. It's a dark shadowy, but it was 100% a big cat, like, without a doubt. Jordan don't blow smoke No and he he jumped across the road I saw his tail and immediately

that's where my mind went Without any of this mess that y'all argued over forever Well I'm just saying It was a big cat It wasn't an otter it wasn't a deer It wasn't an alligator It wasn't a bobcat

It wasn't any of the things like we ran through it Like what could be like nope Mount Lyme I wish Jason Robertson was here Okay because Friday on the podcast on the same podcast he gives his version of what happened with with this critter okay and he said all right I saw it right off he said it was otter and and here's the way he described he said when it was coming in front of the vehicle it was it was doing this y'all so then

they put up look they put up an otter and when the otter is is walking he don't you know he is up and down But the same about it is, you won't mistake an otter for a mountain cat. Okay, you're just not going to do it. Not only that. It's not good. And an otter is about what, maybe a foot and a half off the ground. Well, no, and I told them, because if we feel said, Phil got in on this and said, well, I saw this thing black. And I said, well, hey, guys, here's the difference.

Okay. Let's see. I said, well, an otter, a big river otter, 50. 25 tops is what he will wait. Okay? And I said, hey, what I've been seeing is up in the

50 plus range. Jordan tells us how much this can't weigh. As soon as we kind of got settled, he said, how big do you think that thing was? I said, 85 to 100. It was as big as my golden retriever, which he's like 80 pounds. Oh, no.

So Jordan had like a three foot tail. Like, That's what I had told was on the original one. I said, guys, he probably weighed 115, 125, maybe 135. Because in my mind, if Phil had not been at the boathouse with the camera and taking pictures of the dog, I would have said, hey, there's blue in the stupid road. And blue is a solid black. Yeah.

And he's black. weighs about 1.30, 125 or 30. Okay. But I've seen, it's funny that you said this, because I've seen not only the Black Panther on Phil's property, being Phil or in side to side, going around dog bow, and Phil said, hey, get that, get that raffle ready.

I've seen a coyote back here yesterday. Well, soon as we come around the back end of it, okay, we went down off the levee, like that, I said, back up. I said, there he was. And I said, but it wasn't a coyote. And Phil said, what are you talking about? That's exactly where I seen that coyote.

I said, yeah, but this wasn't a coyote. I said, this was a two-tane or two-tone animal. He was dark, gray and like a tan color on him. And I said, then, hey, it was a big cat because I seen his tail. So, hey, yeah, I've seen a tail. a boat. Well, and I, Jordan, just so I'm hearing you correctly, you now believe there to be a black panther on Phil's property because you saw it.

No, he believes that there was a mountain line. There's a mountain line. A shadowy mountain line. Yeah. Yeah. Shadowy. Hey, no, no. It was a very.

We got another one. It was a cat big enough to eat humans. You got to think of it. Okay. When we're talking, we're talking about. It was the levee road. Okay, on the side of that levee road on the lake side is water. If that thing had just come out of water, he would be dark looking.

I don't care if it's broad daylight, night, whatever. He would still be because he's wet. He would be dark looking because I've seen deer come out of there, and they look like that shirt he's got on. So they was wet. Well, after this happened. yeah i immediately looked over at jordan and he was visibly shaking i mean i could see it's not expected to see that his hand was doing this and he looked at me and he said get your pistol so you were

well no no oh yeah oh yeah well no because hey and like i'm telling you if you would have took the time and if it was any dirt there there was a showed okay you would have found a track that wouldn't they wouldn't have covered my hand. He never hit the ground. He went. He jumped over the left, like literally over it. What would you say about as wide as this table? Yeah.

His whole body stretched wider than this table. Six foot. His length with the tail and all. That is correct. Like he was wider than the road. That is correct because, hey, do you look up a mountain line? They're big. And I'm telling you, it's five to about six feet.

And we're talking. 45, 50 yards tops. Like, that's as far as he was. Well, this is close. There was no mistaking it. Well, I, you know, most of y'all have been known to blow a lot of smoke and stretch the truth a little bit. Looking at us.

Oh, no. I will make, hey, look, I will spice the story up. Oh, I know it. But okay, but let me tell you, the foundation of it is 100% true. Okay. I will throw a little crap in there to make you laugh. But trust me on it. tell you a story.

The foundation is truth. Here, baby. Honestly, when it happened and we were driving back, I just didn't want to believe it, really. I mean, I could tell. I assumed that I was his first call, and I could hear it in his voice. He didn't want to admit it.

Well, no, no, no. That's one of the things, if when it happens to you, unless you're dead, you're going to get excited. But you know, like an alien abduction. My first question for him was, what color was he? I do. I don't doubt, and I never have doubted, Mountain Lions in North Louisiana.

Let me make that clear. They don't live here person. I don't think. I think they come through. 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 because of our friends over at Trial. beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels,

getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from, but with Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritels comes from a family ranch out in Texas.

They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference.

The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

Well, my first thought was I'm fixing to be thrown into all the crazy cameramen. Oh, yeah. Join us. The people that have seen him. You've seen it. But I saw it. Unless be clear. That's so disappointing.

like our other cameramen, Jordan does not or has never dabbled in overuse of recreation. Well, no, no, no, no, because I was just to say. That was true. That was what come up. Oh, but you got to take in sight. You got to take an account. That boy was on drugs.

Yeah. Y'all was lame it, guys. I said, you always got attitudes on everything. I said, y'all never can't just say, here's the deal. This is what happened. There's four people that saw this at Critter, and, you know, common sense dictates. Okay. Just, you got to think about it.

Four people in there in a vehicle, and hey, four foot apart. And they're looking at something that's in front of the vehicle and headlights. We have to go on a. You would say, well, what did you see? I saw a big cat. What did you see? I saw the same thing. He did a big cat.

Oh, what did you see? Well, hey, look, I'm one of them guys. I'm not going to go out on a limb. So it was spiritual. Making fun of Clay.

Now, Clay gets a strange. I'm not bad-mousing the guy. Okay. But you, you know, and then you got one sent over there who says what. And then I got one

and it's all I seen playing his day. It was a river out. Yeah, no. This was no river otter. You know, because I told Jay's, when Jay started to say, I said, since the time it started, I can see the wheels in your mind. You have been thinking about this. How do I sell this product?

Okay. As a river on. Hey, yes, y'all, because I'll tell you, because there's, here's the thing that I've told it, and nobody seems to remember. They always just jump over it, what I'm talking about. There's three times on Phil's property. I'm driving down the levee or the road or whatever,

and I see a big black object, some type of furry animal. And, hey, and I've always said it. That was three times it was unidentified. I never did identify it. One time it could have been a river otter, but it wasn't. Okay.

Thank you. Okay. Another time I thought it was a stupid turkey in full strut, okay, when he's doing his thing with the girls. But that didn't pan out either because I kept playing in my head. I went, nope, that ain't worked. And then I actually said, well, it could have been a black bear cub. Okay.

Because this thing was just a big black ball of black fur, okay? and it was like all all three times it was 65 maybe 75 yards away yeah and I never did I never did in my mind after running it through and everything I never come up with nope I hear I got like jays said oh it's definitely an honor nope can't do it couldn't do it because I ain't got it's not right I've seen plenty of river otter and I've also seen several mountain lines out west. That was the first thing I thought when I saw it, mountain line, like as soon as I saw it. It wasn't that the first thing I said. Yeah. And it was shadowy. I didn't say, I don't know.

I just, there was a mountain line. That's like me. If I don't know, I'm just going to say, hey, I told you I've seen three different things. But to be fair, to be fair, this is the first time that this came from a credible source. Well, that's true.

Thank you. Because they always bring up, well, that boy, you know that boy, he's been on your whatever, you know. Well, that being said, also, some of my favorite people used to be on drugs. So that's okay. Well, no, hey, look. I don't hold anything. We all make mistakes. Yeah.

We all make mistakes. Yeah. Okay. But I'm just saying, you know, so you've got to, here's the thing on anything. You've got it, take it. and, you know, analyze it. Yep. Okay.

And then compare it to stuff that you're talking about, well, this was what it could be. But it's down there. Yeah, yeah. Here's the thing that got me. They see this thing. Okay, four of them. Then they go and get in the duck blind

and all of them in the duck blind then heard some critter three different times. Okay. And it had to be two of them, because one of them was over here and then one of them was over there. Not only that, we're in the blind with a wildlife biologist. Yeah, okay. And he said, I don't know.

And the wildlife biologist says, I don't know. I've never heard that noise in my life. Well, for someone that has heard. Jordan called me at 2 p.m. when he saw it. That's what I was looking for. He called me at 2 p.m. So that's middle of the day, boys. Yes, there is a.

shadowy, big, I'm going to say mountain line, but big cat. There is one. There's a Black Panther on Phil's property and we must find it. Oh, no, you're never, no, you're never going to solve this.

I'm down there every day. Here's the thing. You're talking about most of the time. Okay, you're talking about an animal that only moves at night. Okay, now he moves during the day, but I'm just saying normally, it's at night.

We got cameras. There are a bunch of trail cameras. It is amazing that that thing is not walking from. That's the thing, but then I got the story. I feel scared to go down on Phil's place and take a leak. I feel like I'm going to be on camera somewhere. If I pee outside, I'm like, yeah, somebody just saw them. There's a lot of, there's a lot of,

we're surrounded by a lot of folks that have a strong desire to get in there. and do mischief. Yeah. Yeah. But here's the thing, because I always go to the one that you had, you had the biggest, uh,

bobcat I've ever seen on the camera. Oh, he was a giant bobcat. Uh, he was a big, huge. No, no,

that's the biggest bobcat I've ever seen in my life. Because at first I said, oh, there's proof, boys. There's a, that's a big cat. It ain't a, it ain't a bobcat.

He's too big. A tree was, this sucker looked like he's been, you know, steroid. That tree was covering his tail. Oh, I remember that. That was the investigation with the chicken in the trap.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. We didn't watch this thing about putting out bait trying to catch it, okay? We put a chicken in a trap. I don't know. Here's what's so funny about that. How long we do that, a week or two? Yeah.

Yeah. And, you know, you would figure you would have called a fox or something would have got after that chicken because they eat, you know. All too slit. They said if it's too good to be true, it's too good. You know, I turkey hunted a place in Texas, and they had a mountain lion problem there getting their deer. And we were turkey hunting one day, and we walked up on this, I mean, a gigantic trap.

And it was probably six feet tall and had a little spot to get in up top. They had a goat in there. That's all the goat was there. Literally they fed him and watered him. He was bait. That's his whole life was spent. Mountain lion bait.

So maybe we should try that. I'm in. Well, no, I don't know. I will purchase the goat. I just know. Isn't that what they fed to dinosaurs and Jurassic Park? I think so. That's really good.

That's pretty much what happens. You just got to stop looking. I just know that I watched the show on television. The guy has a PhD and they had one picture of a cat in the Amazon jungle. One, that's it. Well, hey, he spent 12 years of his life putting out trail cameras to the tune of 1,000 in the Amazon Jungle. So you couldn't take a leak around there either. Hey, no.

It took him 12 years, but he did get another picture of that cat. What's a mountain lion's home range? Pretty big. Depending on the food store, I'll tell you how big. They're walkers. Hey, depending on the food stores, up to 500 miles. There you go. So this guy stayed out there 12 years.

Because wouldn't there that one? He stayed out there for 12 years to finally get one picture. Ain't there that one mountain line? I think it's a news article. He was like caught in South Dakota and then recaptured in like Kentucky or something goofy. I mean, that boy went on a walk. Hold on, no, no. That's a junk.

I mean, that boy said, I'm out. Mountain lines should roam freely in the wild. The largest home range is anywhere from 30 to 125 square miles from mountains to swamps. There you go. Swamps. Ain't no mountains. They got a long walk to get back to the hills. He came out of the swamp.

The Puma. Hey, if he was, you could lay him out right there because I've seen, I've seen him mounted. Well, Jordan. He said, hey, he was about to size that desk. That's a true statement. George, we're happy to have you. Yeah.

Same big cat. Hey. Well, I'm looking to the club there, buddy. There you go. There you go. But I know Jordan's got a meeting, so thank you for you, time. Yeah. Well, there you go.

We'll take a break. We'll be back right after this. Gordon is one of the few people. people that's had this encounter that I know they're not down there to please sigh. Like some people just want to be on team side because my man is, he's a legend. You know what I'm saying? Like you just want to be like, yeah, me and sign, we're together. Jordan don't care about that stuff.

And I know Jordan has encountered numerous mountain lines and all of the Buck Commander travels out west. I've seen his footage of them. So that is why when Jordan caught, I didn't say, I didn't start laughing. I didn't, the only thing I said was, well, what color is he? That was my, he said, I could see where somebody would say he's dark. He said, but he's just a mountain light. Oh, yeah.

There you go. Because he did, it's noon. Like essentially it's noon, sun straight up, everything in the woods is a shadow at that point. Like, so. That's where I always got with Jason. I said, Jay's, hey, look. Which is about the same time of day, y'all saw that one because it was after the duck up. Yeah, it was 12 o'clock.

Yeah. Okay. Bluebird Day. That's why I told Jayce, I said, Chase, it's not, it's nothing going to be dark. Yeah.

Just shadowing. It's broad daylight, 12 o'clock noon, nothing's going to be black if it ain't black. But, yeah, there's a mountain line in southwest Wasthtaw Parish right now,

Roman, he's out there scurrying about. No, no, because that's why I loved going there and listen to what the outlines. I wish we had a recording of what we heard. heard that morning. I'm not saying that was a cat. To me, it sounded like some weird kind of bird. Like, it sounded like a noise that would come from a bird. Well, no, no, because I tell you.

But I don't know what bird it would be. Well, no, no, Peacock would be pretty close. Pekot would be pretty close. I've heard Peacott. This was different. This was, this was, this was, this was, no, it was just, it was weird. I don't really know. I just know when you hear it, a cat, and it wasn't the growl. Yeah. It's a, it's a more of a, uh, it's higher. Yeah. The octum is higher when they're doing it. It's more of a scream than it is a growl.

Yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was a, it's a weird sound. But the only thing, other thing makes me think it's a bird, because this time of year,

like there's a lot of birds migrating, not just ducks. Like, all the birds leave and go South America. So everything's heading south. Yeah, you may get some weird something to stop and spend the night here that ain't normally around here.

And he wakes up and then a good mood and makes a bunch of racket. Well, Sound Hill Crown makes, A weird noise. Yeah, but I've killed them. So I know what time. That's more of a... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it was wild. It was, I don't know. I think we all need to go down there and don't leave until we find it. I just, have we ever... I would love to hear of the sale. Have we ever discussed just in general? Where does everybody stand on crypto zoology? Things that may or may not exist.

I'm just curious. Like, I don't even know what you just said. What is the old boy that I used to say? He was a politician. I don't know. Well, there are some things you can know. Oh, yeah. And then there are other things that will always remain unknown.

I'm more of a Reagan kind of guy. No. Trust but verify. That's kind of where I said. Oh, it's nothing wrong with that. Yeah. It's nothing wrong with that. Like I trust, I just want to verify it, you know.

Oh, I love it for it to be verified, but I just don't ever expect it. So Sasquatch. It just did. So Sasquash slash Bigfoot, where are you at on him? I'm just curious. Well, 100%. No, no, no. Because here's the thing.

There's so much acreage out there. How can we explore it all? Okay. You know, that's the thing that I won't say yes or no because there's just so much acreage. All right. So Louisiana, they got that thing that's out called a roo guru. What about him? Oh, that one's for sure.

Okay, for sure. That's being confirmed. Well, here's the thing. And nobody drinks down there. Phillips got a picture, okay, and his way or they lost it. But he had a picture, one of our friends, okay, that goes out on a stormits and blows a transformer. They go out and replace it. Yeah, I saw that picture.

Okay. Well, you know, Jay said, oh, you can tell that's a photo op, chop, all this junk. The photo op. But hey, but here's the thing about it when I look at it, you're talking about it. You're talking about the ugly animal. Okay. And what it happened was, he was up on the power pole and got in that thing and it was like that.

So he fried. So he fried and, hey, that's okay, that's like that. Fried pussy cat. You know, and it was a cat.

Okay. So you could say whatever you want to when I told Jason, showed it to you. Jay said, oh, you know, that's one of them photoshop jobs, you know,

I said, I saw that picture side. That was one of the. Well, I'm just saying it was a black cat. Hey, I'm just telling you, the man that pulled it off and threw it in the, in the trash, hey, hey, was he black? Was he black?

Was he black? Was he black because he's black or was he black because he's burned? Hey, no, he's black. And burnt, okay, it was both, okay? Yeah. But it was just, I tell you what, I wouldn't want to run up on it at night. You're talking about ugly. This is, you're describing like Wiley Coyote right here.

So continuing down this road. So like the Yeti, the abominable snowman or whatever you want to call it. Have you seen how big Antarctica is? I have. Well, see, that's why I would never, would never say no or yay because of the acreage. Yeah. Okay. Because look, I don't know for a fact, there's stuff in the ocean that we've never laid our eyes on.

So like Megalodon, you think he's still with us? Nah, I think we'd have found him by now. He would have eaten something. Uh-oh. Hunter, Hunter, that piqued Hunter's interest. It did. The trench. What's that trench called?

Mariana trench. You know that layer of gas that nothing can get through? Yeah, that's where Megalodon lives. No, he doesn't. Yeah, he can't get through. He's below the layer? Yeah. So he's trapped.

Yeah. So you're saying Megalodon's in hell. What's he eating? Yeah, what else is down there? No one knows? He's the size of a cruise ship. Well, no, no, because that's the same thing. Other things that can't.

I mean, what else is down there, Dale Earnhardt? Like, notorious B.I.G. Like the last. Blackness monster, not real. Obviously, they would have live scoped him by now. Anything in the water is easier to catch, and especially when they're the size of monsters. Well, you can't go that deep,

especially through that layer as well. But who's to say wildlife doesn't, or creatures don't live below it? For example. You got a lot of like, Jason, isn't you? To the extent of you, you're shaking your head. I'd hurt my feelings. I was like absolutely yes to a lot of these things, but like the moon, no, it's out.

Oh, no way. I mean, look how far away that thing is. So that's the only defense I need. I love it. It's like, oh, yeah, we go back to space. I think your best defense, honestly, is why haven't we gone back? I think that's the best defense. In like 40 years.

And they're like, we go to space all the time. It would be like if we went to California one time and now we go back to Shreveport and everybody's like, see, we keep heading back. It's over there. No. You have to cross the Grand Canyon. Yeah. Well, the my deal is because I'll see the show.

Okay, they were in her diving bell in that trench, y'all talking about. Yeah. Okay. And they're down as far as they can go. Okay, they want to go any further to crush it. And they're looking at a whale bone carcass. Yeah. A old whale.

Nothing was born. And then the guy said, hey, wait a minute, move up a little cloaks and put the light on right there. so they do and then there's something there's something moving on the bone and what it is is a giant worm

that's eating the carcass because then they get to looking and you see them and they're everywhere they're coming out of each individual rib bone so for you to say well no they don't exist

hey you better watch it you're on thin eyes dead eyes, baby. You don't thin ice because, hey, look, there's stuff we haven't been seen yet, okay? Oh, man, I love it. What other, do a little quick, quick search on cryptos of all. What other, what other?

They got that Arkansas skunk apers. The skunk ape, yeah. The chubacabra. Texas is big, too. Well, I know, skunknang, I had an encounter of that as a child. I'm serious you know you really are Forrest Gump

well no like Forrest Gump was made after you like you've done so many things Here we go Tommy Can we explain what this is This is the skunk ape right Skunk Kate

Skunk Akekeke He's about to tell you when he saw it Well no no Because look Tommy Phil and me Tommy's what He's in the 12th grade Phil's in the 10th

and I'm in, I'm still in, in, uh, lower grade, no, lower grade. Okay, so I'm about maybe four foot tall, maybe not in that three something. Well, okay, time is in front. He's taller. Phil's neck. He's a little bit shorter. Then I'm behind.

We've been froggy. We got a sack full of frogs on their back. Well, I'm scared of the dark at this age, okay? So I'm, I'm really staying on Phil. Not to interrupt your story, but I've never seen your woods go dark even at this age. Well, no, no, but anyway, hey, look, we're walking along and I feel a present.

What's you doing in my waters? Oh, a presence. Like a spiritual being, if you will. No, no, no. I just feel. I feel something's behind me, and I turn and look. And when I do, look, something is eye to eye with me.

So I, you know, I'd not feel down. Did he stink? Oh, yeah. The Scott gave. No, no, because look, one. when I'm not field down, we get back up and something takes off running. That was Tommy. No.

Oh. No. And then Tommy starts chasing what's running. Uh-huh. Well, it goes into a big giant cupboard over there in a drain. Which in fairness, look, none of y'all know Tommy Robertson. If he couldn't catch it, that sucker was bad. Well, no, no, he's fast.

But anyway, he's got in the line in there, and he's talking about, y'all smell that skunk? Oh. You smelled a skunk? Not the hate. But I'm telling you, when I turned around, he ain't on the ground. He has, like, glowing red eyes. Oh, yes, he did. No.

No. I'm serious, and he is eye leveled me. That's when I do the, ah! And to feel, knock him down. My man is a national treasure. Oh, gosh. I'm serious. That actually happened, okay.

Did that not have been like an escape chimpanzee from the zoo? Look, I have no idea, but I just know this. It was tall as I was, and he's like he. The skunk gave this large, hairy human-like mythical creature. Hey, I'm serious. I'm telling you, hey, I'm just telling you that's what happened, boys. Also, is there a chance? I just thought of this because of Escape Monkeys from the zoo.

Is there a chance that size got like some Joe Exotic-type fan that owned a Black Panther illegally and went and turned it loose? On Phel's play? That's a bad setup. Why not? Because it's Phil's not size. Yeah. Like you get caught there.

That's an issue. Yeah. That's the issue. Like he told Jared the cameraman the other morning, you're about to be hiding forever. Wait. Hey, what happened? You better be coming very good.

Outside the blind, you know, film the ducks. Phil said, where's the cameraman? Jerry came in the blind and Phil said, boy, you need to tell us where you at. he said jared said well i like to hide real good Phil said he'll be hiding forever if you don't let us know where you're off yeah yeah if you don't yeah you didn't let him know where yeah oh man he never cracked a smile

yeah that's wow man what a life yeah oh then he got home in the day yeah I mean oh oh do we have any voicemails today or anything I just don't I don't want to derail this We can't go. We're so far in. We can't go a different route. In conspiracy theories and cryptozoology? Well, I mean, we haven't really gone down any conspiracy theories. This is another zoology.

Uh-oh. So we got another unidentified animal. So we're down, you know, we caught the gator. Yep. And you said that that was not the gator that you saw on the footage. That's right. Well, there's been eyewitness testimony of a, Bigger.

Bigger. Yeah. Byted at the same body of water. I got to catch him on camera. Yeah. Yeah. So we got trail cameras on the water. Yeah.

Yeah. We get him. I told Stone, that wasn't the one that I was looking at on camera. So there's not big enough. Okay. I said I had two foot to him. I have foot still a big lizard, though. Oh, well, he's a big lizard.

Yeah. Yeah. But, hey, his, his, his, uh, width. on the camera. Wasn't there. Wasn't there? Okay. When he was eating the chicken.

Mm-hmm. And we did have a tag for this one. Yeah, oh, we got him. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's everything above board on him. Yeah. Yeah, we like to do things the right way. Oh, no.

But you got any voicemails or emails or... Hunter, voicemails? Oh, yeah. I got a few. If not, well, before we got a voice, well, Hunter's getting the voicemails ready. I do have good news. What is it?

In the cryptozoology world of emails. Okay. Tracy emailed in and told me about a mythical panda in the Chinese zoo. Have you seen it? But it's in a zoo. Whoa. That ain't a panda. Zucker's painted a dog.

That's a dog. Did they really? Who did that? Oh, yeah. No, they're in trouble. Look at that dog. Oh, my goodness. Even CNN's upset with them. Oh, yeah.

So over in China. They put a dog in as a panda. They had two pandas as a big attraction, and then they finally had to come clean and tell everybody, well, we just dyed the dog's hair to look like a panda. If you'll paint a dog as a panda, there ain't no limit to what you'll do. I mean, it's just, like, that's a Joe exotic move. Like, that's not a, that's not a zoo move. That's somebody who's got some fences in their backyard.

Is that in China or Kentucky? It said China's two chow chow-chow dogs. I don't even know what a chow-chow-dog is. I don't know. It says zoo. But I mean, I'm not familiar with the Chinese zoo system. Well, and to be fair, Mr. Exotic called his place a zoo. But it was.

That was not a zoo. No, it was cages. We need to call him. It was all, it was a step above like the Humane Society. Like, not really, maybe not even above, just bigger. Just around. Yeah. Anyway, Hunter, hit us with a voicemail.

Remember, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We got a phone. We got a phone now. Oh. Yeah. So if you want to listen to listen to this. leave sigh a voicemail. Ask him a question. That one guy told us a joke. It wasn't funny.

318, 215, 6559. Call it in. Leave sigh voicemail. Hit it, honey. Hey, y'all years old. And I just wanted to say that me and my family is huge fans of y'all. We watched Duck Dynasty ever since it came out. And I made, I even made my own little fan-made cartoon called Toondy. I actually showed Martin on Instagram. and I just want to say we love y'all so much and appreciate what y'all do and we just want to say thank you for all the laughs over the year

and if y'all are listening to this, I cannot believe it and I hope to come to Duck Commander next year for my 16th birthday. Bye, I love y'all. There you go. Love you too. Oh, here we go. The country cartoonist. This is the bravest thing we've ever done.

Oh, look at Godwin back there. I got to get the noise. Oh, the A volume. I don't have any volume. You've. Where are we going to lunch after church this Sunday?

It's a whole cartoon. Who's who here? I can see Gobbun. That's definitely Jep. Yeah. Oh, there's Siam. They're Silas. Grand, what?

No questions during the race. I called himself a grand poo-paw. Racers ready. He made this. cartoon? Apparently. What are you doing? There's Willie. Oh, there's Willie. Never mind. I thought Willie was that other. Oh, I guess I may be the guy in a blue shirt back here. That's a new problem. Oh, that's Jay. And that's Jace up front. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Get back to work. Yeah, that fits. Hold on. Willie is in way too good a shape.

Well, so are me and Gobwin. I wasn't going to point that out. But thank you for the... No, Willie had like muscles, though. Look at him. Thank you. Yeah, he got that narrow jaw line from his 20s. He ain't had that in a hot minute. Willie. Well, thanks. There you go. That was cool. I can't remember her name again. I went blank. Emily. Thank you, Emily,

from Georgia. Thanks for the voicemail. Thank you. Just shared your cartoon with everybody. Emily from Georgia. There you go. What else you got, Hunter? Hey, boy, this is Jake from Villarid Ridge, Missouri. Sitting here in my office eating some expired Cajun crab dip with some wheat fins, listening to your podcast. I'm wondering, are you guys wheat pens followers or twist,

Triscuit, so it's kind of cracker you boys on. Let me know. Wheat thins all the way. I do like a reduced fat wheat thin. Oh, I don't know why I like the reduced fat ones. I don't really care about that kind of stuff, but to me, they taste better than the regular. It all depends on what you dipping with. I just eat pepper jack cheese on top of it.

Now that Triscuit, that cracked pepper trisket. That is the greatest snack in the whole wide one. You know, dipping up some crab dip is pretty dog. gone good. I've been a Trisket man from way back. Yeah. And if you get to just feeling heavy, put butter all over it and season it yourself and just bake it in the oven for a while.

Really? Oh, a trisket soaks up butter. Put some cheese on it. Oh, yeah. With salamis and pepperonies. I love a trisket. But if you got pommitted cheese, that's when you go with the wheat then. Yep.

Pimenta cheese would be better on a wheat. It really depends on what you're using, delivering with. Or a chicken salad. Wheat thins, chicken salad. Not a chicken salad, man. Just mayonnaise and chicken. Leftover chicken. And leftover mayonnaise.

You got to boil that chicken. And there's a whole restaurant built off that premise now. I've never seen a male walk into that place. But anyway, Hunter, what else you got? Hi, Piper. Favorite places we traveled, side? What's you got? Marsh.

The Marsh. The Marsh. Oh, Venice. For the Mississippi River runs in the Gulf of Mexico. That's a good one. That's my favorite place on Earth. Yeah, I wouldn't have picked that one. You can see gators, you can see cows out in the marsh.

Oh, yeah, you tell me about them cows. Which is wild. That sounds like Lee-Anning Road now. Gators and cows out of the marsh. Hey, we've been motored for two hours. 34 south. You're on a boat. And I look up.

I had there's a humpback. A brammer. A brammer bull. Oh, yeah. Walking in the marsh. And, hey, guess what? Behind him. Big gators right behind him.

Well, let you get down there. that's yeah you know you've liable see he may have been he may have been on that gator's menu i don't know that thing was on the run if it ended up there interesting martin where's the best place you ever been i like everything out west uh visiting out west i don't want to live out there but like the salt lake area is really cool to me salt lake city um Wyoming that place we go devil's tower all that stuff is that like a big just round thing mm-hmm Okay, I've seen that on the show. Yeah, it's cool.

That's neat. Yeah, it looks pretty cool. Just out in the middle of, it's the only thing around like that, too. Like, it's a cool deal. So I love out west. Scotland was fun, though. I enjoyed going to Scotland and skipping around over there when we all went there for Duck Dynasty. It was, it was cool.

It was different. I like seeing different countries. Well, it gives me about all out west is that night. Oh, there's way more stars than you ever knew existed. Yeah, how close they looked. Yeah. When you're at that. That goes hand in hand with mine because the sky in Montana is actually bigger.

And I don't know how it works. Big sky. I mean, that is just the biggest sky I've ever seen. And I don't understand how it got so big. Because when you come back home, you're like, why is the sky so small? Why is it so little? Yeah. And it's bizarre.

Great fishing. You got the mountains, and then you go 100 yards, and you're in the Delsso. Pretty cool place. Yeah. A lot of good pizza in Arkansas. And you got the undefeated Harding Bisons. And as Phil says, it's the only place you can find women with beards. I haven't been to a lot more places, I can attest that is.

He was in the Air Force. He's the one that he was a master sergeant. And when he was telling me about his being in the military, you know, and he said, oh, no, they wouldn't do that. I wouldn't lie. I'd whip them. And I said, well, wait a minute, you're not that big. I said, did you ever get whoop?

I bet you didn't talk back to her. No, it was just, ma'am. I guarantee you. Yeah. Yep. Psalm 7414. We're just on stuff we don't understand and won't until we get to heaven.

It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan. That's an animal in the Bible that we don't know what it is and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert. What is that animal? Is it a dinosaur? I don't know. Speaking of desert, I think fish, you know, water in the desert and no water.

Hashtag Weather Channel. Hey, watch it. The PBS is wild. sometimes. That was the weather. Oh, no, that was, oh, it was crazy. To see thousands of fish dropping across the desert and no water. No, it was insane.
