last year. 2020 was rough on you. And hey, oh yeah, it's rough. Because look, I'm trapped in a 72 year old body for crying out loud. Okay. Unbelievable. That's why we're such good friends. So why did you get the monster truck? Have you told

Have you told that on here? You have not told that. Oh, my goodness. Hey, look. Hey, when the show was big, okay, I'm sitting in my recliner at the end of the filming day. Oh, I do know this one. Hey, and look, the phone rings.

Well, hey, guess what? I think it's Willie, because he's always pulling pranks because the voice on the other end said, hey, this is so-and-so. I own all the monster trucks. I want you to come down here and drive. drive one and when he said that, I went, boom! I hung up. I said, nice try, Willie Boy.

Well, the phone rang again. I picked it up and the guy on the other end said, hey, hey, hey, Mr. Robson, don't hang up. This is slim. I do own the monster trucks. And I do want you to come down here and drive one. And I said, is this on the up and up? He said, yes, sir. In the square. And I said, where are you at? He said, Monroe Civic Center. I said, I'll be down there about 15 minutes.

I've seen the video of this. So, hey, look, I call him and I say, hey, get over here and give me a. He's, what, wait, wait, what are we doing? I said, don't worry about what we're doing. Just get your butt over here and pick me up. These last minute phone calls from side, I never know what's going to happen. So look, he pulls up and driveway. We jump in, and he's on the phone with him, and they said, hey, come in the back way

and come in the bottom of the arena and all this, you know, so we go in there and we meet with Slim, the drivers, and Joe, his right-hand man. and here's how the meeting goes. John Gimmer's there too, my nephew. So here's how to go, you know, Phillips said, hey, what's he going to do?

You know, and he said, oh, what we're going to do, we're going to line up the trucks. He's going to be number three. The spotlight will be on his truck, and we're going to drive around the arena about three times. And then they're going to pull up, he's going to pull up on them dirt berms

where the ten crushed cars are and get out and take his helmet off and the crowd's going to go nuts. So he leaves. Him and Gimmer go get in the stands. So he turns out of the Joey's right here, man, we get in the golf cart and go to the pit for the trucks apart. Yeah, and we have a meeting and talking about, yeah, okay, you're going to be.

And Shlamps, I mean, Joe said, man, what the boss tell you you could do? And I said, well, we're going to do this, you know, drive around and ran and then. I'm going to get out. He's stalled, man, you're on the side. You need to jump something. I said, okay. So I said, hey, come back. You know, and everybody turn around after what?

I said, change the plan. boy, I said, you ain't going first, I am. I'm fixing to jump M10 crushed cars. You know, so the boy said, well, I'm had perfected a 360 backward flip. I said, hey, come in a minute. He said, what? I said, man, hey, tell me what I need to do.

He said, hey, look, pizza cake. He said, this thing will cut donuts from here to eternity when you were out there. And I said, okay, that's a good thing, though. I said, but, you know, what I need to do? He said, hey, see the dirt burn on this side of them crushed cars? I said, yep. he said when you come out of the pit make a wide turn

and then just all you got to do is make sure your truck is lying up straight on that dirt burn because when you jump you want to hit the other dirt burn on the other side I said okay no problem so look you know they kill the lights of the thing they got a spotlight on my truck they see a guy bring out a ladder and I climb up in this sucker because the tires are about eight foot tall that's the last thing we saw that's the last thing so here's these two idiots talking to each other tell me

John Gimber said, Hey, man, that man, he's coming out of, he's coming out of the pit. He, I think he's actually going to do something. And Phillips said, no, man, they change drivers. They pull us, what's the rule on us? That ain't him. Well, about that time, them tires do this on that incline, and I just, whoa, woo, woo, 440, hear me.

Next thing I know, I'm airborne, and look, I'm looking at the ceiling. My heart is trying to come out of my chest, About the time I get about half. Y'all, well now I'm coming down. Okay, and the last thing the guy told me, he said, hey, once you get airborne, get your foot off of the accelerator. Well, guess what, people?

My weight on the foot, I can't get off the accelerator. Well, this thing hits and bounces about twice. I'm already spinning the wheel because I've already got it in my head. I'm fixing to blow it up, turn it over. crush it, whatever, but I ain't quit. No, no, about this time, it's just, it dies, come, come, come, come, come. It dies, and I'm going, you piece of trash.

Ah, y'all, you're talking about pathetic. Well, it took me five minutes to get all unharnished. They got crossed just, so I finally get out, I pulled my helmet off, the spotlight's on me, and the crowd is just a, whoa. Oh, y'all. And then I hear a loud, piercing scream above the crowd. And it's him.

He's done grab the railing and is coming out of the stands, screaming, you crazy old man, well, it's going to kill me. What are you thinking? And I said, hey, what is your problem? Well, he got his phone. Hits in about three times and shoves it in my face. I had to just grab his hand and push it away. You know, and I'm looking.

that he got a picture of the truck in the air, you know. Well, hey, I'm standing on the ground. The concrete is about two foot above my head. Then about two foot above that is the seat start. And I'm just looking at this photograph and I'm going, one, two, three, four, five, six, I keep looking at him, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen, fifteen, sixteen, sixteen, sixteen, seventeen.

I said, you're talking about up there, baby. That was a jump. Hey, I didn't know it. The truck didn't die. I scared the old boy that owned the thing so bad. He had a kill switch and he killed it. Yeah. If I knew it, I'd have punched you squarely in the nose.

Hey, so Si comes up and sits with me and Gimber. We're sitting there watching the rest of these guys for about 20 minutes and sigh said, Hey, 10. He says, let's go. I'm bored. I'm tired of this. I'm bored. You're done seeing.

ain't all you needed to see now. No, no, yeah, because hey, look, I'm getting out, me and himble walking away, and Slim's, hey, hey, where you going? That's the funny thing. Slim comes to chase side down and says, hold on, hold on. I need to talk to you. I need to talk to you. He said, you know this duck down to the show ain't long last forever. I said, oh, it's on its way out, Slim. He said, well, hey, wait a minute, give me a pen. Told Joe to give me a pen, gave him a pen. He pulled out of a car, business car, turned it over, and he said, this is my home phone number. This is my cell phone number. He said, hey, you're probably going to need a job in the near future. He said, you crazy rascal, you can drive any truck I got in here.

And I said, Slim, I appreciate that, son. That's a great way to start this. Let's take a break. All right. That sounds like a winner to me. So, you know, one of our favorite things is the fan emails, the hello at duckcallroom.com emails. Well, this week, we got one from Tennessee. and just so we're all staying, you know, clear and transparent here,

she tried the Omega XL. Tried it. And? Loved it. Loved it. She said, I bought it. It works in all capital letters. You guys are endorsing a great product here.

She's been to several physicians, specialists, physical therapy, chiropractor, and nothing had been done. Since 2014, she had been dealing with pain in her back and hip on her right side. Now, the unfortunate part, of this is she goes on to say that we were actually the cause of some of that pain because she actually used to make the headbands that we sold in our store. Huh. So, yeah.

But look, we appreciate your hard work because that was great product and it sold great. So look, we appreciate you trying out the Omega XL sending us, you know, your own personal experience with it. If you want to try it out now, you can go to OmegaXL.com slash duck. that's omegaxl.com slash duck or call 1-800-844-4-48-88. That's 800 844-48-88. You buy one bottle now, get your second bottle for free. Every time I think that size is not telling the truth.

Oh, that one's true. Oh, I remember you sent me that. Oh, I sent you that picture. Hey, I did two podcasts before I watched JV over on his little stupid machine. Yeah. He's checking out what I'm saying. Oh, he's back checking for sure. I knew that one was true, though, because I shared an office with Gimber,

and the next morning, everybody was freaking out. Oh, yeah. Si was 30 feet in the air in a monster truck at 65 years of age, and he's the biggest thing in America right now. In the Monroe Civic Center. In the Monroe Civic Center, no less. T-Jug in hand. All of Balkanville saw you.

All. I go to the monster trucks. That's because you guys. kids. Hey, the monster. See, and right then, I put this on my bucket list. You put it on your bucket list after you did it? No, no, no, no.

The next thing. Oh. That's one of them big balloon dragsters. Oh, like a top fuel dragster? Oh, yeah. Natural, not top fuel. They don't have fuel in them. So that may be your last ride.

No, no, I know it. See, that's the part that's bad, but I'm scared to do it because, hey, then the guy I got to tell him, and I said, well, hey, look, I'm serious now. because this guy own one of the things and races it. Oh, yeah. And I said, well, hey, look, you know, I said, what's the record? You know, and he told me what the record was. And I said, well, you know if I drive it?

I'm going to try to break the record. No, you're going to blow up the clutch. No, no, no, no. Because he said, well, he said, well, let me tell you. He said, you had open heart surgery, didn't you? I said, yes, I did. He said, well, you may not want to drive that car. And I said, why is that?

He said, because it pulls about 5 Gs. And I said, well, let's see how I want to do this. You know? I said, well, hey, look, all I said about it is, let's go out with the bang boys. That's what Clint Boyer said when we filmed that episode with him. He said, because I told him he was crazy for going 220 miles in a circle. And he was like, not the crazy ones are them drag racers. He said, they are sitting on top of a controlled explosion.

Yeah. He said, and if you lose control, it's over. Yeah, why don't you just sit in like the passenger seat? No, no. There ain't. That's just one. No, no, no, no. That's what got me. This one got a cockpit.

No, no. That's it. Hey, they're strapped down in this thing. Okay. They're on a rocket that would go to the moon. Yeah. Okay. Or to go a quarter mile in 3.8 seconds.

Yeah. Pass. Look, just think of that, though. When this thing goes, whoa. Y'all, I seen one of them blow up behind the guy in the seat. And all you got is a little deal. Just, you know. Yeah.

And you, too, is. benches off the ground. Yeah. I'm out. I'm going to ask you not to do it. Oh, no. Oh, no. I want to do it for a simple reason.

I will break the record and look. And I'll hit my, my front tires, them little big bicycle tires, I want to get them at a 45 and go down there. Oh, no, you're going to spin them elephant tires on your rear end.

No, I ain't going to spin them. Guarantee. Uh-uh. You won't ever make it past a burnout. Oh, that's bull. I'm scared of death.

Because I know, I know for a fact we're going to get an email from somebody. It's like, I have one. Oh, no, no. I've already got the contact. Yeah. Oh, no. I've just been holding sigh off.

I'm like, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. He's done told me, all you got to do is tell Philip to call me and I'll arrange it. And you're going down the track. You go, baby. Well, that's going out with your boots on, I suppose. Well, hey. What is, actually. Hey, think about what fun in it.

Because whenever you, they got a slow motion one that I watched one time. And right when it started. Oh, it flattens them tires. Oh, no. Them tires. Twisted is talking about it. Oh, no. They're twisted.

Yeah. And then when it, it bites. Yeah. Oh. You know, think about the front that'd be. And I want my tires. I want it being trying to take off. That's hilarious.

Yeah. I wish it had wings because then it just, I'd just be flying that baby then. Well, just go get a plane. No. That ain't near. No, that's a dog. He's a dog. You've been on a plane ride before.

I want a rocket. Yeah, flying a plane, that's a dog. Oh, that's, yeah. Let's fly a car. Flying a plane is for a sister. Oh, chitty, shitty bang over here. I don't like it. What else is on your bucket,

because now I'm just curious. How big of a bucket do we need? The man's. No, it's small. So we need a little bucket. Because really the dragster, that's the last thing. That's the one to go out of, boys. Well, what's just.

What's just before the drakster that's not breaking all sorts of games. I ain't got nothing before the drakest. That's it. Okay. Tell me, well, what finally got him? Well, the nitro finally got it. He tried to run a drakster and tried to break the record, and he did. But it killed him.

It killed him at the same time. Do you mind if we video that and put it on YouTube in case it is your last ride? I don't care. They're always, somebody said I'm dead anyway. Yeah. This one probably if I pull it off, will probably be for real. Okay, because probably my heart couldn't take five Gs.

Oh. So I think the rest of us in here don't want you to do that. Well, I appreciate it. We'll wait on that, yeah. I appreciate that. Yeah, I'd just as soon keep you around as have you do that. But you know what? If that's your last wish, I'll put the gas in it.

Let's roll. Hey, that gas is Metro, boy. Well, whatever. The fuel. The fuel. I'll put the fuel in the tank. Okay, he'll fuel it, boys. And I'll even work the little Christmas tree lights for you.

Just don't red light. I'll hang you with it if you read it. Let me hold the kill switch as soon as he gets going. He's like, peop. Piece of junk. It don't matter. If that thing bites, it's gone. Oh, yeah.

That kill switch, you cut it down at the end of the track. It ain't going to, I fix it. It ain't going to hurt it. Yeah. Just remember the brake is on the left. They ain't got breaks. They got parachute. They ain't got a break.

That's where you go, and then pray that it grabs and you don't eat that concrete wall at the end. God. Oh, man. I spent many hours watching that mess. Wasn't it Boyer driving you around? Oh, no. Yeah.

And he was in the back. Oh, y'all were together. See, I didn't know how fast was going. Martin said, do you know how fast was going? I said, no. This is that Texas Motor Speedway? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, Dallas. Yeah. And I said, well, Martin said, what was you looking at? And I said, I was looking at Boyer and every now and then. I'd look over and we're about that far from the wall. And then Martin said, well, let me give you a little bit, you know, tighten him a little bit. You was running about 140. Yeah.

And I said, no wonder that wall was just a blur. The worst was. And, hey, the bad part was he's driving 140 miles down and he's doing this talking to me the whole time. And I said, boy, you're. That way. I wouldn't even to make. What's the road? Look, I know how you feel, side, because I've ridden with you.

Now, line road. I won't even give him my contact. I put my hand over my face when he's talking to me because he's passing an 18-wheeler on double line. And his little truck's got an eight-silline. Oh, no, look. And they're here. Hey, I'm passing a logging truck. Mm-hmm.

In the rain. No, no, no, look. And guess what's coming over the hill? Another one? Another logging truck. So it had to be just, I like to stuck my foot through the dashboard, through the bottom of the floor. Because I hit that baby and it was, whoa.

There it all went. Stop falling in. We got to fix things. Hey, so John David, you think I'm being nice when I drive sire around? You're just being safe. Yeah, I never let him drive. Never. When he pulls up to my house, I say, get out and get another seat.

The best one was, hey, he picked me up at the airport in Mississippi. and we take off and we're talking poker. For two hours, we went to wrong direction. And I said, I thought, I thought that you should have done the other way. I said, but we got talking poker. This is what happened. As we're talking, I start to realize about the second hour, we're going the wrong way, but the stories were so good, we couldn't get off of it.

So I just said, side, you're not going to like this. He was like, what? I said, you may fire. me today. I said, I already figured that out. I said, but I'm not good with the wrong direction. I'm telling you, yeah. That Clint Boyer is, he half crazy.

Oh, no, no, I wish he had brought his Cadillac. No, no. I wish he would have, and we could just, we'd have had to find a Ricefield off of a road, and I would have just set that baby in the middle of that rice field doing about a Honda. Well, he took me around Tallinn. and we got in trouble.

So he took me in the pace car and the light took off off the top of it. Oh no, yeah. Yeah, we's going about 170 on that. Yeah, and they didn't like that. Yeah, he didn't. And neither did I. Yeah, he said they don't like blowing stuff off on the racetrack. Yeah, we said in that Toyota and that, I don't know, Camry, whatever,

and that light that was on top of it flashes, it just went. I had never been fast to blow anything off anything. Then somebody come over the radio and said, we're going to need you all to shut that down. And, yeah, new light brought out. Me and Clay said, he said, when we get there, I'd just go the other way if I as you. He said, I'm used to these meetings. I've done this a few times. Yeah, I've done this a few times.

Yeah, I'm the exact opposite. I like to drive about 10 under the speed limit. I'm scared of death. And there's cars off behind me. And he was just over like, another day to office. I'm scared too dead. Hey, running 140 and he ain't got but one handle on steering wheel. Yeah.

And the whole time, he ain't. ain't looking this way. He's talking to me the whole time, and I said, Clint, keep your eyes ahead. Keep your eyes on the road, sir. Please. I got to feel that's what people feel like when they get in a boat with us going, Duck Hutton, no. And we take off down that ditch wide open.

Oh, yeah. Oh, no. We know where we're going. Oh, no, no, no. And he's mellowed out. Yeah. Because you used to, oh, no. Oh, yeah.

All of our boats were aluminum and all the front ends had a U. where he had just Cyper Street That's what he always used to say See yeah this one about three inches narrower And it was when we got it Yeah he said we can go anywhere now Oh no

Look when we was fishing We're in tech Fishing on Darbon He had 14 or 13 bass holes And people would be at the dock Waiting on us to see if they could follow us And find where we catch all these fish Well he had 20 yards mercury

on this little old deercraft aluminum boat. He had done knocked one of the fens on one side. He had done shared that off

on a cypress knee. Yeah. Well, that made it go five miles faster. Well, he done sheared the other one off. That made it go another five miles faster.

So, hey, we'd outrun everybody else have a 20 horse market. We just leave them in dust. Yeah, but now. Uh-uh. Couldn't keep up. Oh, winning, boys. Well, to the woods.

Let's take another break while we're at it. Sounds like a wonder to me. Here we go.

So, I mean, who doesn't need an extra $5,000, $7,000 in their pocket, especially after Christmas. Hey, I just got docked. Did you? Because of Christmas gifts, and I didn't know that that could happen? Yeah. because I just put it on like a small credit card.

being changed oh bit to me's yeah yeah i don't understand i don't understand why i don't understand why nobody actually believes that believes what so i do tell for all of those at home who haven't heard this story before. This is a good one. Okay, I started out. 24 half years in the military, I was in two wars, Vietnam and the Iraqi war.

When I was in Vietnam, my job was we stayed downtown in Kanto, Vietnam, okay, and I drove five miles to the Air Force base. It's where we worked. Okay, I've got a do-and-half, no bowls, no food, canvas on it. It's open bay, okay, on the back, loaded down with soldiers. So look, I drive them

to the air base in the morning. That afternoon we come out, you know, I hang her right out of the gate, okay. Here we go on the do-stime. I never got below 10 miles an hour. 10. 10 miles. I never got below that. I pulled in the parking lot where I parked my truck, the hotel's there. You know, they all bail off started going in, and one of the guys, I'd already lock my truck up and was headed toward the hotel. And he said, hey, Rob, he said,

got a missing out of deal. I said, ha, ha, nice shot. Missing a what? Outer duel. Outside wheel. There you go. So, you know, he said, hey, no, I'm serious. So I walked around there and here's the stud sticking out.

Now, this is out the back of the truck on the back? No, no. They got two wheels on each side. You're saying one of the wheels that was spinning. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. At a minimum of 10 miles an hour. At a minimum of 10 miles an hour. They got it off going down the road?

No, no, and here's the thing that got me. I asked the idiotic that was still climbing off the truck. I said, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. And they said, what? I said, you were sitting right above this stupid wheel. Where did it go? And they said, we do see nothing. And I said, wait a minute, boy.

I never, it was traffic dim. I never got below 10 miles an hour and never just stopped. And I pulled in the hotel here and now I'm missing an hour of duel for crying that loud which weighs about, with metal and air and tire, about 250. I said,

they said, well, you must not tighten the lug nuts on it right. I said, wrong answer. I said, I pull maintenance on my truck, keep it all right. You know, and I said, hey, you idiots should have seen something. They said, we didn't see nothing. Yeah. They stole a 250 pound tiger.

Without a jack. Uh, without a jack. While it was moving. While it was moving. And hey, the only thing I think is King Kong went up there and put a wrench on it. So the little boy that you sent around to the store to get your Winston's, is this before or after that? Because he didn't bring Winston's, did he? Well, no, no. Hey, that's another thing. Look, you're talking about slick now. Hey, factory-packed cigarettes, Winston's, from America.

Okay, they could open it, flip all the tobacco out of the factory-packed cigarettes, then reload them with weed, okay? That sounds like a New Year's party now. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. California gold the best, okay. In Vietnam? Oh, yeah. Sounds like Vietnam and purple.

But anyway, hey, I run out one night, told him the boy son, go down to town and get me, you know, these. I gave him the empty pack. He brought him back, you know, and he kept saying, oh, don't. He's a Vuku-Sai, you know. And I said, hey. Vuku-Sai. Look that up, John, David. You know, I said, no, no.

I said, hey, go back and get me these. I showed him the pack again. And they all, you know, there's all life and all the fellows were laughing. I know what it was about? And I said, hey, go ahead and fire them up. You'll enjoy them a lot more than Winston. y'all he said that's the good stuff and i said you idiot he said i said i've been watching y'all do this and why would you want to yeah be you know well the world's got to know yeah you're

18 years old and you won't feel like you're 100 why would you smoke that junk so did you fire one up no oh no i had to be honest if you sent me over to vietnam i'd probably would have fired well that's why a lot of them that come back they can't get off of it yeah hey tell you Tell Martin how long you stood in line when you were checking out what it would take to be a gunner, a helicopter door gunner. Oh, no, no, no. Me and a buddy of mine got bored. Hey, this is what you have to, the mentality of our troops that go to war. Because I actually thought this, okay.

The survival rate of a door gunner in Vietnam was 72 hours, three days. okay and then they had to be replaced yeah so me and a buddy mine uh we're in vietnam and we get bored and we're fixing to go volunteer for a door gunner duty until i sobered up the next morning because i just said uh 72 hours yeah what was you thinking yeah well hey you wasn't evidently he'd rather he'd rather go out in one of them tricky cars yeah he'd rather have an Explosion. Oh, yeah. On a rocket.

Natural boys, you'd never know what happened. Oh, my goodness gracious. Didn't you see one of, didn't one of them towed a motor out across the water or something? Oh, no, no, yeah. That duty. Look, my job was supply. Okay, we got a truck shot up in, and what we'd do, we would strip it down of everything usable, okay? And it'd be just the metal carcass left, okay, frame and, and, uh, mechanic terms.

instead of carcass. But anyway, y'all, and my job was, hey, to order it, okay, and then if, you know, I'd pick the frame up and go around our head of pond and motor poop, you know, drop that frame in that pond. I've been doing this for six months, okay? That pawn was deep, you know. So we got our engine in that afternoon, and the mechanics uncrated, it's in a metal container, bolted it down, you know, by the top.

So they unscrewed all the bolts on top, took it off, hooked the battery, put oil in it, you know, fired it up, just running good, talking about, okay, we'll put it in tomorrow morning, yeah. But that night I got guard duty. Uh-oh. So, me and the guard are doing a patrol around the motor pool, and we had made every 30 minutes, you know, after walking their post. You know, so we just went through and we had, you know, 100 yards from the motor pool,

heard a clink, you know, metal on metal. Yeah, so I get on the radio, I said, hey, just heard something down on the motor pool area, pop a flare over the motor pool. You know, they pop a flare, you know, and me and the guy standing there, and when the flare and it's parachutes carrying it over the pond, we walked up there and we're looking, y'all. But all we can see is about half of the deuce and a half engine. Get him on the mic. Hold on that.

Look, all we can see is the engine about half sticking out of the water. water and there's one Vietnamese on each side doing this. Chon. Is that swimming? Swimming. Okay. Yeah. Now, hey, a duce and a half engine weighs about 2,500 pounds.

So I look at this kid beside me and I said, what do you see? And he says, you first. And I said, well, I see a Vietnamese on each side doing. a dog paddle with one arm and they're going to cross the pond with that engine. He said, that's what I say. So look, the next morning when we're in there with the officer of the day that was on guard duty with us, we had to give a written report and sign our names to it, y'all. I hand him mine and he said, you're really going to sign this and hand it into me?

And I said, hey, that's what we saw. that's just what it is he said well off the record and he said I'm probably not even going to hand all this in I'm just going to tell them hey the engine got stoke he said how did you think they'd done it and I said well

as wild as this is he said I said here's the only way I think they could have pulled it off I said hey I've been dumping metal frames in this thing for six months it's deep I said, so look, it took about 40 of them. And I said, the one on the bottom has got to be the strongest man alive.

I said, because he's got 39 other people standing on his shoulders, and he's walking across the bottom with that engine. And then he told me, in no uncertain term with a little vulgar language, get out of my face. Oh, hey. So now, I think I may have figured it out, Simon. What? You're putting all those frames in the water.

Maybe they had a bridge to go across, and they floated it across, while they were walking on top of those frames. That's amazing that you said that, because, hey, look, the Vietnamese actually did that on a river in North Vietnam. Huh. They made it where trucks could drive over it, but it was underwater. You had to know where it was. You had to know where it was.

Huh. They had to send recomb patrols in there because they were saying they're getting the supply somehow. How are they getting them? So they send patrols in there to patrol that river

and they finally caught them. Look, they was carrying them on elephants across that bridge, pack elephants, donkeys, whatever they had that would carry anything. They were doing it. If they had trucks to drive across, they had drive across it.

Should have got them old boys that stole your engine. Hey, look. I'm strong. Hey, when I first... The tire was with that engine. No, no, no, look. Hey, here's what I was told when I first got in country. Okay.

They said, Robertson, hey, let me tell you, these people have taken stealing to a new level. And I said, what are you talking about? He said, well, I'll give an example. He said, these people are so good. He said, if you got a radio, you go to PX and buy you a radio, and you got music on it, He said, Sunday'll steal your radio and leave you the music. Let's take a break.

That's stealing, boys. So, Philip, the other day, you said, Cy called you having a problem, huh? He called me at 6 a.m. And he said, Philip, get over here. My alarm's going off. I need you. Alarm, like his house alarm. Well, he's got...

Security. He's got big security, okay? And so they call me, and I know all. the codes and punch it in and so i said side go punch this in he said i punched it in it didn't work i said do it again with me on the phone he's over there peep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep nope still going it won't shut off so there you went well yeah and this is saturday his only day off so i get over there and he's standing at the door he says philip something ain't right it won't go off it won't go off I walk to the panel and look and I hear a disturbing sound.

I follow it to Si's bedroom where his alarm clock radio is going off. I yank it out of the wall, get in my truck, and leave and didn't talk to him for two days. Well, look, Cy, there's a much better way to protect your home than a security system. You go to hometitle.com, register your address. It protects your home, your home title, and also gives you some identity theft, protection in there with it as well. All you have to do is go to home tidal lock.com slash radio, register your address, and you'll have 30 free days of protection.

That's home tidalock.com slash radio for 30 free days of protection. The funniest thing is Si kept having all these people come through. They would come through and they would stay in his barracks. I always had an empty bed in my room. So people would come through and stay with him. And Saia, he was a good host. he'd get along with them and they'd go off, you know. He made a lot of friends.

One guy come in and been on too many tours. He was no nonsense, and the guys next door were being too loud. Oh, no, they're drunk. Well, those two dinner and they go together. No, no, no. Too loud and too drunk. This stuff had, I don't even know what you'd call it, but the top of the room had, uh, uh, gosh.

Mesh? No, it was, uh, I can't even think of the word. But anyway, they had, They had done through stuff in there to break it, break it where it could go in the other room. Oh, sheet rock. Yeah. Like broken sheet rock?

Yeah, but, well, it was not sheet rock. It was actually, you know, fancy stuff. You know, they had all the middle things on top of, I can't even say the word. I got you. But anyway, we'd done get drunk and knocked that, broke it out. So look. So I was all knocked out.

Hey, I'm on this side of the room. Okay. They were throwing boots and it hit his, mosquito net. So hold on. You're in your room and you got a guy who's staying a few days with you.

Oh yeah. And then he's going back in the field. Well, no, no. He's going home. He's going home. He's been in the field for 11 months. And there's two guys on the other side, younger guys.

In the other room. And they kind of acting the fool. They're drunk and they're throwing stuff in my room. Okay. I'm ready. Now I got it. I'm against the wall in my bunk.

Okay, with my mosquito net on. Two or three boots come in. they finally knock his mosquito net down. So look, when he come there, when he came there, boom, boom, boom. All he had was his M-16, bandoliers of ammo all over him, and a rutsack. And on the rutsack

was the old-time pineapple grenade. Okay, it looked like a pineapple. That's why it was made. Oh, yeah. So, hey, the next boot hit the mosquito net, okay? Well, hey, he just wrenched down and grab one in pineapple grenades and said, pop the deal off of it.

Over the room he goes, right past me. I'm expecting the wall to blow out. So look, I've done grab my mattress and done a 180 flip down into the

metal springs and just cut my nose and everything else. And I'm like this, waiting for it just whoa. He's over a lap. He's over a laughing because it was just like a cartoon. All you heard was, whew, whew, whew,

them guys leaving that room. So he gets up, goes in there, picks the grenade up, comes back in, and he's already put it back together and threw it to me, and I was just, you know,

you know, he said, they do just what the Vietnamese done except with one difference. They didn't get shot. He said, I would have shot, you know, Vietnamese. You know, and I said, you by crazy, ain't you?

He said, yeah. He had been there, look, he had been there seven years, seven tours. I have a lot of questions. Yeah. Was it a real grenade? Oh, yeah, it was a real one, but he had already burnt, you know, he'd burnt a ticket. It was a decoy. Yeah, yeah.

So he wasn't going to blow up. Right, right. It wasn't going to blow up. But, hey, I didn't know that. Yeah. But I thought he, he like, went through it and then went and put the pin back in. Oh, well, he could have. Hey, crazy as he was, he good of.

Yeah. No, he said he was on that flushing. That's what he, he'd throw it in there to flush them. No, no. They'd flush. Like a bunch of pheasant. No, no, then it would be a 30-round clip when they come out. Side, did them boys ever come back?

Oh, no, no, no, look. Hey, it was so, no, it was so funny because they would come, I could see them coming down the hallway, and they would go, it was he in. Yeah, it was he in? And I'd go. Back. For those listening,

Sy is tiptoeing around the studio. There was no wild parties till that cat left. Okay, that shut the party and down. Oh, man. The party's over. That's good stuff, there.

Si was the security guard when they stole the motor. I didn't do my job, boys. Sorry, slick me. I think I can listen to Saiz's Vietnam stories all day. Oh, they're good. Good. There go on. Well, you've got to think of this, okay.

The Seven Mountains region, you know, they B-52 bombers, bombed it, okay? 105 artillery rounds for three days straight, nonstop, just boom-pun, boom, boom. Every time they had sent a recon patrol in, they'd sniper fire and open up on them. They finally took it, okay? And what they found was a 10-story hospital. inside the Seven Mountains region. We had bombed it for days, seven days at a time, 24 hour, around o'clock bombing.

They had a 10-story hospital with operating rooms, wards, and all of it. Inside the mountain. Inside the mountain. You wasn't getting to him. You wouldn't get to them, boys. That's incredible. Oh, no. Hey, look, they got tours over now that you can go through on all that stuff.

they had they had tunnels under our headquarters in sagon listening what they were planning that's why every time they'd go to a place and some planted operation yeah they go wasn't nobody there where'd my music go yeah yeah serious coolest one was hey guy come out he was in a mountain region on artillery well they ever every night before dark they'd shut all their generators off, check them, change oil of them, do whatever needed. And they were burning them up, just at a phenomenal rate. Generators were burning, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it. Well, the motor pool officer finally just said, hey, all right, we fixed to find out what's going on. Well, this is on top of a mountain down there below of the village. Yeah. So that one officer

said, well, all right, there's got to be something going on here. So here's what we're going to do tonight. We're going to shut them down for our 15 minutes to check everything, get them ready for the night, and then when we crank them back up, guess what we're going to do? You know, them things go from 110 to 20, 440. He said, all right, boys,

when you crank them up, he said, before you let, he switch it to 440. Uh-oh. So look, they shut them down, you know, it's getting dark, they check them and all that, crank them back up, you know, put them to 440.

And, hey, immediately there is a red line from every generator going down the hill to that village. And all of a sudden, the whole village gets like LED lights bright. And then there's explosion after explosion after explosion, because everything with that 440 current going to it is blowing up. Well, needless to say, that stopped all the generator burning it. because they blew that whole village. Everything in it was toast. With electricity.

Gone. Gone. Goom, boys. All right. Well, let's take our last break and we'll come back with some fans. We've, man. We all like the fans. And on the outside of pineapple.

Okay. It looked like a pineapple. That's why it was made. Oh, yeah. All right. Look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means?

That means more outside. 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 them but with tritels beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas.

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

you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails Beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain'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. So, hey. Coming in from the hello at duckcallroom.com. Tray and Johnny Dee, what do we have this week? What has the fan been up to? Dot call room.com.

We know on our Christmas Eve episode, we dove deep into the world of the Black Panther. Obviously, our real. Okay, here we go, boy. And I've got photos upon photos, upon photos and videos. There was one video of a guy who claimed it was a Black Panther just running across his driveway, which was a little weird. Thank you, Jared Bell. But yeah, people agree with me and Cy, Martin, that Black Panthers are real.

And I got. I look through them as well. I would like you to point out, just how many different states was that one picture of that one Black Panther? How many different states did it come from? I did have the exact same picture sent to me by three people. Different states. And said this was on trail cam in North Carolina, Alabama. Kentucky.

All three of them sent the exact same picture. So it made me feel a little worse. But I will say, it is amazing how many people have seen a Black Panther, including me. It is amazing. I think it's pretty impressive. I think y'all are like those guys in the barracks next to Si, but that's fine. That's all good. Did Si tell you all about the Black Panther that got electrocuted that we got a picture of?

Oh, Lord. No, no, no. You're not telling them about that, Sa? No, no. Hey, Bull is his name. He plays poker. His real name is Richard. His real name is Richard. Okay. But we call him Bull. Okay. Everybody's got a nickname. Yeah, I know. Bull, chicken, lizard. I mean, you got a mile over. Oh, no, no. He's a limeman. Okay. When a storm hit, those are the transform or whatever, he's got to go out and prepare it. Yeah. So, hey, boom. Storm hit. You know, he goes out thinking, okay, the storm blew it.

Now, he gets up and looked and, hey, here's something laying in the transformers back. Something big. And something big, black, and, hey, has got teeth about that long. Mm-hmm. Okay. So he dragged him out and takes a picture of him. So we're playing poker, and he shows us. He said, look what I found another day when I went to repair a blown transformer.

He said, hey, this thing got in it, it electrocuted him, and it blew the transformer. Yeah. And I said, hey, bull, send that to Philip to why I want him to show that to Jason. Well, he shows us to Jason and says, oh, he. you tell that the doctor photo you know you tell that doctor shop yeah photo shop he said i've got it on my old phone hey so it's been a minute hey oh but you tell me hey you wouldn't have to want to run up on this thing in the darker night well here's what i found very encouraging from those emails yeah the one guy that in fact saw a black cat yeah he shot

yep well no no i was looking to tell he he went too quick he had it in his lap yeah I actually pull a plank Yeah, there you But what is that? It's a bobcat. It's a bobcat. You got to talk of the microphone. Yeah, it's a bobcat.

No, no. But that's pretty cool. It'll blarer. I know that one? That's right there. He said that's a cougar. We're going to have to. Back in the mic.

Translate, Phil. Hey, that's a cougar. Okay. Simon finally is into my computer, by the way. He's like, oh, this thing's awesome. We're going to have to put an ancillary machine right there in front of it. It won't work for me, but hey, it is. When it works, it works good.

So this Noah Pinalt, might have butchered your name there for him. He did a lot of research, like, studied and found, I don't even think that's him in the photo. But he came through with some scientific evidence. And I think the big thing is it's just another type of black cat in these. these highfalutin biology majors are mad at us for not getting the species right. Is that kind of like when you say poisonous snake

and every time Martin goes venomous? That's exactly right. So I says there's only two kinds of snakes. One's got a rattle on it and everything else is a cobra. That's right. Everything else is a cobra. And they're all poisonous. All venomous.

Venomous. Venomous. So I think that's the problem with the Black Panther. I think I saw a black Jaguar? Tiger. Oh. Well, no, no, because South America's got the black jaguar.

Big black jungle cap. Yeah. I got no problem with that. So you think me and Saas saw a black jaguar? No, no, no, no. I, in fact, think y'all saw a cougar that was not black at all, just the circumstances around you make it appear blessed. I'm just saying.

I'm throwing that out. I have no doubt. Nothing against you. That there are cougars and mountain lines. whatever you want to call them that traips through North Louisiana. I have no issue with that whatsoever. No, I think we should take it. What I saw was not a cougar because, hey, he was black as the ace of spades.

So didn't you call? And the middle of the day, sitting down a dark, shady road. He wouldn't look black. No, no dark shady road. It was 12 high noon. Bluebird day. To be fair. But you got to think about it.

Think of all the woods. that people can't even walk through until they put it in a logging crew. That's the best point. But Bradley, Bram Schreber, really tough names today. I'm telling you. He saw one broad daylight. And just so we're clear, he's not crazy. He put it in the email.

Oh, he's been tested, huh? He knows it was a black band. Why did y'all have to bring up crazy? I'm on your side here. Somebody called your name, Sire. But Bradley also wants to know, Sye. Your thoughts on the Sasquatch. No.

No Sasquatch. No. Again, I got no problem. Well, with you say in a mountain life. I want to know if it's true. Well, I've seen one on Fields property. Yeah. Did you call?

Did you call the wildlife? Oh, no, no, no. I just wanted to, you know, see what they would say. Yeah. Because like right now, okay, all the farmers in the Delta area, Del High area or gripping about Hey, they're way too many black bears

Oh Well, guess, okay, guess what folks? That's our wildlife people. They've been releasing black bears Into the woods. Well, hey, so I just thought You know, it hit me, it'd be funny.

Call them up and asking about a black panther. Well, then I asked the guy, I said, hey, well, look, can I shoot the black panther? And the guy said, Oh, no, no, no, no, no, you can't. And I said, wait a minute. you say it don't exist so in actuality i'm shooting my imagination so don't be telling me what i can and

cannot shoot hey look here's the deal he didn't like if you see him and you shoot him i'll take the ticket if you bring me the body i like that if you bring me the body i'm going to tell you dead or alive the reason i wasn't dead i don't want to mess with him alive no no no look i wouldn't shoot him for the simple reason i don't think there's very many of them And I'm serious, if I saw him, I doubt if I would kill him. I don't think there's many of them either. Just one. Well, no, no, because, hey, the reason I'm saying that, I watch the show on the nature channel.

How about the world's rarest cat? Oh, no, look, they had one picture of this stupid cat, and a guy that's into cats, he's got a PhD, he's a doctor. And all his life, all he's doing is he spent trying to find this one cat. The cat king. Oh, hey, he finally found him and got another. There's two pictures. But it took him 12 years in the Amazon jungle with 1,000 trail cams. That was actually Russia.

We've already went down this road. Well, hey, whatever. Hey, I appreciate it. Look, here's what I'll say, and all I ever ask out of a man is consistency. And you are consistent. Oh, I'm not going to get off of the black. Oh, I agree. And I love it.

It makes for a great story time such as this. So I appreciate it. I fought this little battle my whole life. Okay. My brother's sons, duck hunting with them, they've been telling me for years. What I'm seeing was my eyeballs and what I'm killing with my shotgun. And you don't have enough. Hey, wrong.

He's fed up. Yeah, one into a corner. But look, hey, we appreciate y'all. Shooting us all the emails over at hello at duckcallroom.com. Y'all keep them coming. We're going to continue to take them and look through them. And here they go. I'm not even worried about that.

That's a pretty one there. And, hey, never mind the giant fence behind it. That's just about like the one I saw. Oh, okay. That's probably him. No, no, I'm serious. It's just like the mountains in the background. Hey, what would you say?

That's a property right there. Oh, looks just like it. Is that the privy hole? Yeah, I love shooting ducks by that big mountain, a big rocky outcrop. What would you say that cat Wade right there? I don't know, 100. $140. 140? I said about $1.35 is that one I saw weight.

Yeah. Big enough that I know I don't want him on me. I won't know. Hey, we'll let that one go. I send us out with a word of encouragement here for 2021. Okay, boys, here's the deal. 2020 was terrible. Okay, the pandemic, everything that's gone on, politically, it's been a nightmare. Every bit of it's been bad.

So, but hey, the Almighty is still in charge, and here's what I call if your life is going bad the bad things in your life you need to switch out with what I call the intangibles okay that'd be stuff like goodness kindness self-control

joy peace and all that is is the fruit of the spirit this would be in Galatians 522 but the fruit of the spirit it is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. And here's what's cool about it.

Against such things, there is no law. Amen. Amen. Okay. And, hey, just to remind you, J.D., last week on the podcast read, Revelation's 21, 4 and 5. And I loved it. That is good. Okay.

You know, because the Almighty, the one that's sitting on the throne, Jesus, said, hey, there will be no tears, no sorrow, no pain. Because guess what? The old order of things is gone, and I'm fixing to make everything new. So, hey, that's my advice to you. Get rid of the bad things in your life for 2021. and replace them with the intangibles, joy, peace, love, kindness, brotherly love. Awesome.

Hey. Perfect. Well, that, guys, hey, appreciate you. Stand tuned. Stay tuned to us. I'll get it right in a minute, boy. Stay in tune. Stay tuned.

Like, subscribe. Review all that. We'll see y'all next week. We love you.
