Duck Call Room - Uncle Si Ain't Buying the Propaganda

Episode Date: April 15, 2021

Si teaches a master class on how to hustle a skeet shooter, but then he loses a crisp hondo to Stone's 13-year-old daughter on their fishing trip. Si and the boys shake the Robertson family tree, and a whole lotta hilarity falls out, including what Phil did when Al had appendicitis, the time Phil had food poisoning and refused to miss a duck hunt, and the tale of Uncle Marvin the Lead-Eater. Stone brokers a compromise when his kid refuses to go to the daddy-daughter dance. Martin nails the two things everyone sucks at, and Si reveals the magic words every marriage needs. JD gets roasted for his truly hideous shirt. And Si says JD, Martin, and Stone can flush their theories on PED use in baseball right down the bidet — he knows the truth.

watch all the annexes as they happen in real time. And I think that's about all I've got for the intro. Sa what did how was your weekend you watch a masters no you what nope I flew to Mississippi I'm involved with a children the homes of hope over the kids and the reason I'm involved with them I ain't but a big kid myself okay oh we was uh over there for my annual Cy Robertson's skeet chute we had uh what about 400 people four to a team so that's A hundred teams. Okay.

Had a real good event. They enjoyed, everybody enjoyed it. It was a real pretty place. The Running Creek Ranch was where we was at. So it was a real pretty place. And they had a bunch of ponds. It probably had big fish in it, which we'll say something about later. But we had a good time.

The Homes of Hope is in South Mississippi, South of Hattiesburg down there. And I think they have four or five houses now. I know a couple of those houses were made possible due to Uncle Si, you know, spending his time and efforts. What that is, and they do a great job. How long have we been doing this, Cy, about seven years? Seven or eight years. And I remember seeing some of these kids when they were this tall. And now they're.

Now they're grown people. They're grown. 20 years old. Yeah, 25. Now they work in the event. Because one come up the other day. No, no, no. I'm serious.

Come up, man, and said, do you remember me? and I said, no. He's hayes. He's 25 years old. COVID brain, boys. Like he was, no, it wasn't covered. It was just, hey, he was a kid when I met him. So instead of these kids going through the foster system, they get these kids,

and they actually go to court for them and fight for them in court, and they raise them in a godly atmosphere with a house mom and dad. A house mom of dad, a good solid, established family. Christian family. It's an awesome thing. It really is. Yeah. Well, I remember when you were first starting doing those, I did a couple of them with you.

And it was fun. I always enjoyed it. No, no. I think when I did it, to put it into perspective, they were building their second home whenever I went over. They got four now, and they actually are fixing to build a fifth one. Because as long as you, when they graduate high school, as long as they're working toward a degree,

they can stay on campus, okay, that's what he called it, okay? Yeah. To long as you're actually, you know, keeping your grades up and working toward a degree. Oh, that's awesome. It's an, you know, Michael Garrett is the one in charge of it. He's the doctor, got a PhD, I think. Okay, he grew up in one here in Monroe.

Yeah, he grew up at the one here in town. So he knows the ends and out, the bad, and the good stuff of it, okay, and he made sure that all of his, ministry over there and his campus okay he's got all the good stuff yeah he does a good job when i heard that he was actually going to court paying money to make sure that these kids don't go back to you know like a drug mom and dad addicts okay he wouldn't let him go back in there yeah because philip had told me that's what he's in a children home here in monroe it's rusted

Yeah. And he said that was the bad thing, bad part of what he was involved in, is that they'd keep them three months and, you know, then have to turn them back over. Yeah. So, bad deal. When I heard that he actually took them to court and actually won the case and kept the kids,

especially when it's like, you know, brothers and sisters, they wanted to separate them, you know, somebody wanted to adopt a boy or girl, but wouldn't take both, yeah. They're family for crying. That's right. And I had one of the big donors for that thing came up to me. a couple years ago and said, why, why this? He said, why does Uncle Si choose this over, say, some other charity?

What did you, I'm curious to what you answered that. And I looked at him straight and I said, because Uncle Si loves kids, especially kids that are disadvantaged. Now, I didn't go into anything. That's why he hangs out with us. He didn't go into detail points. Yeah, as it's kids that you would think would struggle in life, due to their circumstances, Uncle's size, a really soft spot in his heart for those kids.

Well, I just look, and I was very lucky. You know, I grew up with a mom and dad and siblings, okay, and we was dirt poor, okay, but I mean, we have what we needed, yeah. We had, first, God loved us, and then we loved each other, the family. So I'd always say, hey, if the world's coming in, I got a time, machine, guess what year I'm going to set? Right back to your child. Back to when I was a kid.

He going to get back on that part. Hey, I used to love it when mom would get sick of us, load us up in the falcons, drive us 15 miles up, drop us off at the levee and say, I'll see you at supper time. I can still do that for you. Oh, no, no. You don't go drop you off down a living? I wouldn't mind doing it.

I have somebody with Tom. Stone has to go with me, though. Hey Yeah But I Look I wouldn't mind Doing it I'm tall

Because we'd push us a log Out, ride down Yeah Wait a hold I'm sorry Get him Sandbar

We got wools on it Let's see what's going On there I had to look up What a falcon was Because I've heard that story A hundred times What's the falcon

It's the coolest car I remember Oh no It was Yeah That's what I That's what I drove A falcon

What color was it? White Which I don't know Why people Want a white car. Have you lost your mind? That's the only color to have. Oh no, it ain't. Yes, it is. You can tell one is filthy. Okay. And you can't tell one a black one's filthy like yours? Well, hey. Of course, yours has been dirty so long it looks

like it's two-tone. So it don't matter. Well, hey, there you go. That's been a good truck, though. I guarantee you mine too. That sucker's paid for, which is the most beautiful part about it. That's the best part about it. When you get rid of your car notes on, that's like getting a raise. Good night of living. I guarantee you. Well, that's good. I'm glad y'all raised a bunch of money. Y'all did good.

Well, hey, I don't know how much money they raised. Oh, yeah. Trust me, they did. They raised a good bit of money. Yeah. And not only that, it's a good cause. It's a great cause. But they always give Uncle Sy a little prize every time we go down there.

And this time, it was some bass fishing in a privately stocked. And one of them built. dance deals. I'm talking about it. Hey, I like him kind of. Yeah, it's easy to be a pro bass fisherman when you're going to a private pond that just loaded.

You're speaking my language now. You got a pen to it? You got the ad there? Oh, I know where's that. Yeah, we'll go back to that. But this is one of them things. This is invitation only. And you ain't getting an invitation.

Got to have an invitation. So Uncle Sai has. to do the skeet shoot that's that's where all the people come a scoot sheet uh what i say old scoot sheet that's the scoot boogie they're a shoot skeet and that's and that's how they raise their money scoot boogie well hey he got me started because then i want the brooks and dunn boys oh he loves the brooks and dunn but anyways uh that that's that skeet shoot has become a their biggest fundraiser by far and by the way, that's the man that come up with that. All I said was he needs rednecks with guns.

Yeah, and food. And that's what they come up with. Feed them and let them shoot something. So anyways, Sa'i drives around in a golf cart, taking pictures of everybody while they're shooting skeet, raising money. And harassing them. Did you shoot? No.

No. I'm just going to harass them clowns in our shooting. I thought you'd be the best shooter out there. I am. Oh, no. Why didn't you shoot? Oh, I did shoot this time because Michael Dean said, hey, they said, hey, I want the photographer takes pictures you to shoot.

I said, oh, you don't have to shoot. I said, oh, if I go up, I'll shoot. So I said, hey, hand me it over and under. Give me some sales. So I missed one, and I knew he couldn't stand. And he said, hey, I gave you a hundred a hit too. I said, pull, boom, boom, give him a hundred dollars. He hustled him?

Oh, did I hustle him? and he still owes me that fund old Michael Garrett. Tell him make it in a donation of the homes I hope for children. But hey, I'll give it to you. So if you're needing to get rid of some money for tax purposes, that is a good one to give to. Anyways, while Uncle Si was shooting skeet. You're slowing down on that one.

Me and old bullfrawl, we slipped down there that private pond. with some wacky rigs and put a whooping on them five, six, seven pound bass. I mean. She caught about 40 the first day. Okay, yeah. Okay. But five of them would have weighed 25 pounds, five pound average. Yeah, she had a 25 pound bag.

Yeah. I saw it stone, I said, hey, you ought to put her on the B-A-S-S circuit. Because she could, she could fish with him, boys. Okay, and put him in boat. Because I got to tell you. What day I went with, we called, both folks called about five that weighed five pounds pieces. But look, let's take our first break.

And then we'll get back into more Sight Tall Tales right after this. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedales beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good?

It's so good. It's 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 them. But with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.

Tritales 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 cats. 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 Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat either, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. I found the scoreboard. You are not the best shooter there.

No chance. You got the scoreboard. Some dude named Clint would whoop you in a skeet shooting competition. What he shoot? 98. Oh, you know what? It was out of 100. It was out of 100.

one man hit a 98. That's pretty good. Best I've ever done is a 92. There was about 10 people that beat a 92. Yeah. Oh, that's some people do it all the time. They're professional. So they got the scores post.

But they're the ones. You're not on there. I know it. I didn't shoot. My favorite is some guy. I shoot live stuff, son. Some guy named Chad hit seven of them. Seven.

Chad, time to find a new hobby. If you're listening, Chad. go fishing so you found the results from the skeet shoot where did sigh rank size didn't shoot i'm not in i didn't shoot i only shoot live stuff boys some guy named squintz squintz doesn't even have a last name shot 86 and i like that guy well he's squint that's why he can't hit nothing you wouldn't hit 86 of them if i have if i do shoot it i'm going to hit a hundred percent okay it would be one hondo i'll put one hondo on that I'll take you money.

I'll take you money. Guarantee. I'll hustle you. Yeah, y'all aren't joking, man. There's a, y'all had a ton of people out there shooting. Oh, a pile of people. This scoreboard goes on for days. And look, what got me is they're from everywhere.

Mm-hmm. All over. Oh, yeah. Texas is always sitting quite a few people. What do they win? Huh? If they win the skis. Oh, no, no.

Then that's the thing. They've got some good prizes. Over and under shotguns. The 6.5 Creedmore rifles. Yeah. Do you put on a concert for them? No. I'm out of that.

He's out of the concert. I'm out of that. I've seen the business. The band has been disbanded. So you didn't watch any of the Masters? No. So you don't know what happened? No.

Dang. I don't know about a couple of people on it. Or maybe just how better they make that one. That's unfortunate. But watch it. Okay. He didn't win. The first Japanese golfer won the Masters, which is pretty cool.

That's a cool thing. Yeah. That boy Hadeki is going to have him some statues. Yeah, it's a worldwide event. I mean, yo, golf is worldwide. Yep, and he went out there and strapped a whole bunch. He tried to make it interesting there at the end by screwing up, but he made the best bogey I've ever seen in golf.

So that was pretty incredible that he made a six from there. I was reading for that kid that looked like Happy Gilmore's caddy. Oh, yeah. Oh, Zalotaurus. He looked like he hung his head out the window the whole way to the golf course and then got there and he looked there. started playing. Yeah, I struggled watching it because for some reason I couldn't

ever call him Will. His name is Will Zalotorish, but he looks like a Ritchie to me. What does that mean? I don't know, but if your last name's going to be Zalotorish, you need a first name to match it. Will ain't it. Will is not the deal. Yeah, if his name

is Zlatoyus, you need something like Zoro Zalotoy. Oh, a double Z. No, no, hey. If you're going to have one, let's have one. So maybe if he's, when he makes a big Put, he ought to just start doing the Zee. Is that the Zee-Chi? Is that what we decided?

But that was the sword fighting. But this is just a Zique. No, no. If he wanted, he should just have a real sword on it and I'd just take the top of the flag off. Don't even bother pulling it out on. Speaking of real swords. What about that sword you got sitting there in front of?

Tell him about your knife, sir. Hey, that was a gift I got over there. And there's only been three of them given out. Waylon, Willie, and me. Okay. That could be a countryside. That's Waley Jennings, okay. It ain't Willie Robertson.

It's Willie Nelson, okay, and then me. Uncle Todd, they even got my name on it. I'm going to cut you with that later, too. Tell him what's so special about it. If you're watching, I'm trying to make it where they can see it. That's a Jim Bowie knife, okay? The real deal? The real deal.

Oh, Jim. And the wood on this and the handle, okay, came from Jim Bowie's house in Lafouche, Louisiana in the 1827 to 1831. Wow. So I did a book report on Jim Bowie one time. He from Louisiana? He died in Louisiana. Oh.

Hey, he's got a home in Louisiana. Used to. I don't think he's there in a lot of Mississippi. He ain't here no more, but he did have a home, and that's a picture of him. Okay. And it tells you about it. Okay, all about it. He owned a home in a plantation place in Lafouce, Louisiana.

Oh, no, he died at the Alamo. So, hey, that's pretty cool. But hey, we had the little deal before. Now, that is a knife, boys. No, that's a real one there. Yeah, that's a real one there. Hey, just run your finger. No, thank you.

I trust you. Hey, trust me when I tell you, that's the sharp as a razor. Got it, boys. So Jim Bowie spent most of his life in Louisiana, but he was born in Kentucky, and he died in the Alamo. Remember the Allen.

That's quite a story there. Hey, and that knife he had? That's killed a lot of people. Okay, trust me, boys. Your hands? Hey, Jim Bowie was a knife man. Okay. Imagine how fast he skin a deer.

Oh, what are you telling me about? Hey. What's up? Oh, you could actually kill them out if you learn to throw it. You probably don't have to throw it to kill somebody. Well, no, I'm talking about deer. Oh. You can probably.

You'd have to throw it as a deer. Well, you could probably just drop it on top of him. You got up in a tree. Well, how'd enough? You're slick enough to do that. That won't work because it's got enough weight, didn't you? I know what thing, Martin, I figured out real fast. If you ever want to be a fishing guide, you need to rethink that.

I'd never want it to be that. I'm sitting in the middle. Imagine this. They got wacky rigs. Him and Bullfraw. Bullfraw was 13. She's on the front of the boat. Size is in the back.

of the boat sitting in the chair i'm in the middle yeah so and there's moss in this pond okay especially if you're shallow real shallow so i told them i said look y'all try to land it just on the edge of that moss because of fish rip on the beds and uh if you can imagine it's sitting in between them two you're saying they weren't pinpoint accurate they were not pinpointed out they got better towards the end but uh i spent all evening picking moss off a hook retouch Huck, putting them little rings around them. Oh, no, no. Hey, he's really good.

He is really good, okay, with young children and old men. That's it. He's a good day. Which one are you? Hey, hey, both. Yeah. So I told myself, right. He just struggles with his peers, huh?

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I have trouble with my peers. If you want to be a fishing guy to rethink that real quick. Oh, I couldn't do it. But I will say this, I had a blast watching them catch them fish. In between picking moths off of hooks. It was.

Hey, that's why I was, hey, that's why. Your, you know, Fibke would be able to like that. Storm will see the line jumping. Yeah. I'll laugh. Or their big bucket mouths come out of water. Yeah, tail walking on it up. Yeah.

And Storm will say, yeah, how he's playing? Play him. There you go. There you go. Pop. That picture. No, no, no, no. I mean you break off.

I don't know. I didn't break off none. I missed about five. Oh, I got you. The first year, he was reeling down like a Texas. Slack lining. Oh, no, no, no. I was, you know.

Whop? No, no, I told him. I was just going to say, B.K. definitely got the bigger fish. Oh, yeah. Golly. No, no, I told him.

That's going to be the best one, okay, when he took it. Sa, did you catch it, or is that what you're using for bait? No, no, I'm serious. That was one. That's a little fella. Yeah, I threw out there, and it was pumped in the, got tight and I just raised up on it and started really well he's come to the water real to be in bk was same way she done like that and tumm it done that and then it was going

and i went uh-huh i got the bad end of this stick boy so you caught the male and she caught the yeah yeah she caught the big big mama yeah guarantee what a good picture that turned out to be but hey don't you know you don't want to bet her no money you know she'll take you money take you money Oh, yeah. What did you lose to her? Hi, Honda. Well, good thing you're owed a Honda. Do you play for less than a Honda these days?

No. Life's too short, ain't it? Yeah, life's too short. Get it up in the mug. That is a good picture. Look at her. That's the only time you're going to see her smile. I'm serious.

She ain't a big smile. She ain't a big smile. I wonder where she gets that. I dare hunt with her. And it's just click, put it back on the site, sets it down and it goes one of any deals here. you know, tell me, you going to shoot that one? Stone cold.

I said, just stone cold. I told Stone and I said, you ain't have to worry about her. I said, if they ever get out of line, she'll pop a cap on them, boys. She's the Lord, have mercy. Well, let's take another break. We'll be right back after this. That is a good picture. That's a good picture.

I'm going to get that. I'm going to get that one blown up. That's a good one. You're right, though. She only smiles. when she's got a oh she you know what she told me the other day when she's winning and uh her mama wanted to take a picture with her on easter sunday and she said i don't take pictures oh she no she said i don't take pictures unless they're with animals that's right with fish

or animals that's it that's it fish or deer yeah i'm ever something now said something about you got uh you got uh i want you to put on that pretty dress for i can take a picture or something BK said, no. Ain't happening. No, it ain't going to happen. They ain't going to happen. Well, they had that daddy daughter dance. Oh, that's what it was.

That's what it was. It was the daughter daddy dance. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about, Nancy said, hey, you got to wear a dress. She's, no, I ain't happened. She said, I won't go to that. And her mama said, oh, are you going?

And she said, I don't think so. I don't believe that to be correct. Of course, I had to chastise her for being disrespectful to her mother, of course. And then he took her shopping at Academy or something instead of going to the dance. And then I had to explain to her mother, this is not her cup of tea. So if she don't want to do it, you know, don't make her. No, make her. All mama wanted was the pitcher.

So I taught her and put the dress on to take the picture. Please tell me y'all went fishing afterwards. No, well, she might have, but I took the other two. I took the other two to the daddy-daughter dance and she stayed home. I like the kids at Stone made. They're a bone to be chewed. I like the fact that your middle one just said, no. No daddy daughter.

The middle ones is always different to every middle child I've ever run across. Look at Willie. Look at Jay's. Both of them stuck right there in the middle. All the middle ones. he's a middle child I don't think so no he's a baby

he's the baby boy that's right the baby boy I'm the baby boy of course you're well I am too where are we all Stahl where are you at I was the first born oh yeah

makes sense responsible the responsible one well I wasn't too responsible but I was I definitely got the got the wrong end of

stick as they say on multiple occasions i was the guinea pig i guess and that's what i told my oldest daughter i said look i'm sorry but you're the guinea pig you're the first one i have so you're you're the test you're the starter child i say and i'm gonna screw up we all screw up but hey yeah i'll learn my lesson yeah just remember that when you go to raise one there you go that's right that's why i always said there's two things everybody sucks that a marriage b b apparent because you've never been either there's there's there's no no case where you've been either the first time and in both cases you will learn the hard way oh buddy guarantee even if it involves going to sit with somebody that knows a whole lot about it that's it guarantee yeah

counselors everything else you know I you know don't be prideful thing that you don't need to talk to somebody oh 100% 100% you all and especially in marriage there's a lot of times you need a third party you need somebody that's unbiased to tell which one of is wrong that or either just learn to say the magic works yes ma'am i'm sorry it won't happen again yes ma'am i won't do it again so i heard a story the other day so you know how compassionate these robertsons are oh ain't they and uh because i'm married to one and this this is compassionate is i would say the now they they do have compassionate tendencies for those people who are not in the family now if you're in a friend our family i'd put you in the same category uh the term compassionate

need not apply no to siblings cousins friends so in other words now if i was got sick and i got sick really bad sick. The last time I got sick, I thought I was going to die. My wife looked at me, she said, you're going to get out of that bed or you're just going to lay there all day. How long are you going to milk this time? And I said, well, I don't feel good. She said, well, suck it up.

You need to go to work. And that's just the Robertson way. That's just how it is. See, I was the oddball of the family on that part. I'm very compassionate. Well, you are. But still, if Phil gets sick, you ain't going to call it. Now, I would go down to his house and see him.

Oh, you would? Yeah, but see, I'm telling you, I'm the oddball in the family. And by seeing him, he means he'd go down to his house and take a nap on his couch instead of his own. That's been a while. That blue couch misses you. Well, no, no, no, take, you know. That thing had a firm imprint of your body in it. Hey, that was a comfortable couch.

Hey, that would tickle me when I found that Willie was going to fire me. That part, I just, I never, you know, that was funny to me. It really was, okay, because, hey, Phil just told him, hey, now, so don't mess with it. So, side, the reason I brought that up was that, uh, that story Al told me the other day was when Phil came into the room when all y'all were playing dominoes, your dad, your mom, your cousins. Phil came in there with the first duck call he ever built. Al said, this is how it went down.

A young Phil Robertson walks into the room with his daddy playing dominoes. He put the duck call in his daddy's face. He said, Dad, I'm going to make a million dollars selling this duck call. And Paul looked at him and said, give me ten. Now, you can't tell him, a father crushing a son. Okay. That's why they was. He just, you know, Phil said, hey, one day I will sell one million dollars that.

Paul said, 10. He just kept playing the game. Hey. And, hey, none of them, they all kind of looked up when he walked in and said, hey, you know, that's the first one off the assembly line, boys. And he said, and, hey, before it's true, I'm going to sell one million of these. Well, they just went back to playing dominole. A little did they know.

30 years later he sold a million. And 30 years later he sold one million of these bad boys. And then in the 40th year, he sold a million in a year. So, you know, look at it that way. And here we are. Now we get to talk to everybody all because of that. No, no. And then that's why I tell them.

And then you want to tell me that, that you can't see that there is a supreme being that runs this world. Because it all started right there. Hey. And I was the most important part of this. Okay, I'm serious. Because you're a crazy old man who makes great TV.

No, no, because hey, this crazy old man makes the reads and without reads, this thing don't make no noise. Don't work, boys. So, hey, intricate part, JD. Well, you're pretty good part of the marketing campaign. Like I told Willie, I said, little did you know, Willie. You was looking at a diamond in the rough. If he would have fired you, we would all be doing something totally different with our entire lives.

And I'd probably be homeless. But something tells me, something tells me John David would still be wearing a hideous shirt. Oh, well, that's up to my sponsors. That ain't terrible. That ain't terrible camouflage. Okay. You go ahead to talk to my brother-in-law about this one. He was proud of this shirt.

He said, well, you wear it? I said, I'll wear anything. I'm not fashionable. I'm trying to figure out what you'd hide from. Would you hide from an Easter egg? I think this is more about people seeing you than it is about hiding. Oh, so that's anti-camiflage. Hey, JD could become an Easter egg.

Okay. How's that? Stuffed with peanut butter. What? There you get. Stuff of peanut butter, boys. Hey, there you go. Get him on that flank.

You'll see. Look. Hey, fix the tap. He fixed the tap's back, boys. That's one of my favorite things. I'll be over here for the first. Okay, he'll be over for the duration, boys. If I get you on that flank, that sure makes me laugh.

It hurts. The pillberry. no boy. I've noticed that, though, about old people. They don't realize when they think they're playing with you. My pap ball used to slap me on the back when he'd hug me, and it just straight hurt. Oh, yeah. Just right in the flank.

Or when they ask you, let me show you how a horse eats an apple and get you on top of that kneecap. Or when they ask you, how does a turkey peek over a law? I haven't heard that one. What's that? Yeah. Horse bite. Show him. Show him, son.

You don't know how. He doesn't got jumping, boys. I was boring. No, just stay right there. Size is going to show you how turkey peaks over a log. See? Look, you see there? You went just like that?

You raised up the peak of one out? I didn't know you didn't know that one, Sean. Yeah, I've never heard that one for it. You want me show you? Don't touch Stone. He'll whoop you. Hey, he's just looking for a reason to jump on you anyway. Hey, no, Stone gave us a full class the other day on self-defense,

on which I ended up on the floor very quickly about four or five times. I got videos of it. It was funny. No, no. Hey, he's already, I've seen him with stone out there. I went over. He's cooking something for us. You know, while we're waiting, you know, the meat's on, this cooking and smoking and all that.

And he said, all right, say, come up here. Here's the move. Picked on the baby? Picked on the baby. No. Baby picked on me. Oh. Hey, the baby doesn't put him down on the ground.

I'm looking. I looked, I was just, don't you may not want to do that. You got to be careful with the little kids because they'll have, they'll have their cousins in a get. Yeah, they'll hurt somebody around here. Ah, that's fantastic. But, you know, a little self-defense is a good thing to touch the kids. It never hurt anybody.

No. Unless you're not the self. If self-defense hurt somebody, it was on purpose. Yeah, that's exactly. Well, let's take one more break. We'll come back right after this. Phil goes to the dentist without medicine? No.

No medicine. No numbing agents whatsoever. None. Can I say something? Phil Robertson's way tougher than Oliver being. Well, no, no, no. And I think we all knew that. Him and Paul.

His famous line was, I can do, I can stand anything for five minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-mm. Oh. Sigh, tell them, tell them what your, y'all's dad did with the pliers that day. Hi. He's done so.

He's done so much for flowers. You know, hey. They were playing dominoes, and he asked your mom for some pliers, remember? I don't even remember what he pulled out, but hey, you know, I think a, oh, hey, a wisdom tooth, I think. He pulled his own wisdom tooth out?

Yeah. Yeah, it was bothering. It was aching, so he just said, you know, he said, you got any pliers? And mom says, yeah, I think something's in there on, you know, whatever, you know. Yeah, he went in there and the next day of here. He coming out with it, just blood all over it, you know.

I don't think that's safe. He pulled his own tooth with a pair of plures. Nope. Mm-mm. Oh, no, he's done stuff worse than that, you know. I don't know if it gets any worse. Oh, no, it gets worse, trust me. Okay, and I can't tell this on the podcast.

It's a family podcast. Oh, boy. No, no, I'm serious. Okay. He's just, you know. We'll edit it out because I kind of want to hear this school. Well, no, no, because, hey, look. Yeah, I want to know where it'll take us.

He fell off of an oil, Derek, and broke his back. Okay. And they had just, you know, numbed him, shot him up with stuff. And he was about high asleep, you know. The guys come walking in, he said, what are y'all building? You know, he thought there was carpenters. They said, no, we're the surgery team just going to work on you. You know, he said, they had saws and hammers and stuff, you know, come walking out.

Yeah. Thank God for modern medicine. Well, you know, I go to the same dentist as Phil, and I ask the dentist, I said, is it true that Phil doesn't take any pain killings whatsoever? He said, that's 100% true. He said, I drilled him out the other day. Oh. No.

No, no, you think about that, okay, because, hey, look, I've had them work on me, and I mean, I'm numb, okay, and it got still hurts. No, no, yeah, it got hot. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. The worst part is hearing it. That's the worst thing about a dentist is hearing. You hear that, when you hear that high-pitched drill,

but when you hear it change gears, and you're like, uh-uh, uh-uh, me too, that's why I don't go. My teeth are all jacked up. So like a bunch of mine are fake, and they, uh, you can smell it sometimes when they're burning stuff off. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's the worst. Yeah.

No. Why are we talking about this? Yeah. No. Hey, put me out or either numb me totally. And look, if something happens during duck season, he will not go to the doctor or dentist. Oh, I'm very aware. I remember probably my second duck season down there.

We had big gumbo from some Cajun. I ain't going to name her name. I don't want to embarrass nobody. Coot gumbo. And we all ate it. and every one of us. No, not we, because I ain't no gumbo man. Most of us ate.

But every one of us that ate it got sick as a dog. Something done turnting it. I don't know if it was oysters or the shrimp. But anyway, we all got sick. Well, we all get on the men. We's out for about 24 hours. But I guess Phil must have hit it again because the next day we went hunting. Phil said, you know, I think I'm finally starting to feel better.

and he just, you look at him and he's white as a sheet. And as soon as he gets out of his mouth, he turns around, throws up out of the duck blind and says, yep, I'm better now. So, I mean, the man just goes hunting with food poisoning or whatever got us. We done got some kind of, in his words, microbe. Microbe. Microbe got me, boy. Oh, micro. And he did, but he looked up, we just running fever, chills, all that best.

He said, yeah, I think I'm starting to feel better. Yep, that's it. I'm good now. He's not going to miss any duck hunting. It was unbelievable. For nothing. Oh, I didn't get out of bed for a dog. I'm trying to think, I'm trying to think what the day he missed it,

and we went up on Cypress Creek, and he could air shooting. And it likes killed him. Well, he did the same thing when we had the veterans hunt. He couldn't go. He sat on the front porch. Kay told me this later. He sat on the front porch, and she said, Phil, what are you doing? He said, I'm listening for gunfire.

He just wanted to know what he was. was missing. That's it. That's all it was, too. He had to know. I don't remember what made it because like he was sick as a dog. Well, it was like Al, Appendix erupted. You know, blew up inside it. Yeah, but Al didn't stay there on his own accord. Well, I know, but he stayed there. Well, you hunted through a heart attack. Don't be talking about nobody doing a stupid thing. Yeah, Al's appendix blew up. We were on that bench on the pipeline. And Jeff was there for some reason. And Jeff was there for some reason. And he said, Dad, I think Al, something. was wrong with Al and Al's just writhing in pain and Phil's like and Jeff said

Dad we need to take out to the hospital and Phil said what time is it? All that Mallard's going to be. Jeff said it's nine o'clock and Phil said we need to give them to at least 11. Right primetime. No we ain't going nowhere. It turns out that appendix had done developed some kind of shell, protective shell on the outside of it, which the only reason he didn't die. Well, it's because of that. Well, it's because of that.

That's from all that lead shot he ate all that in the year. Oh. Hey, you're talking about that. Uncle Marvin, Hobbs, okay? He literally went to the hospital dying. They didn't call the family in, notified all the Ken folks and everything. He's on deathbed. Yeah.

They x-ray. They don't try everything, so they x-ray him, and they look, and here's this big black ball that shows up on. on x-ray you know one in and they cut it out of his uh it wasn't his I don't know it wasn't his appendix it was something huh probably a spleen maybe it's spleen but anyway hey 100 and like 130 pellets lead pellets lead yes six is fours two he had done eight so much okay he was dying from lead pointing look after he got over that he looked like he was about

65. He looked like he was 35. After he got over the lead, porous? Oh, yeah. This is Uncle Marvin? Yeah, Marvin Hobbs. He had done, ate so much lead, like squirrels, ducks, all that, and hey, they counted like 130 pellets

out. You know, the doctor had it on in kind of a bucket. Uncle Marvin need to slow down when he eat. It can't take you time. And when he's training animals. No, no, here.

You got to believe, I got to tell it all. Okay. But anyway. Go ahead. Him and Uncle I film, okay. That's a main one. Yeah. They went together, saved up in the moon.

They went together. He's the one that back up and the hornets. You know, hey, Wildcat. All, oil deck. They drilled, you all. And, hey, blew top of the deck out. So they're instant millionaires. These are just country boys, okay?

They don't know what to do with it. Yeah. But anyway, he's finally, he's finally. That sounds familiar. Well, no, no. Go ahead. But anyway, look. Uncle Marvin's on his deathbed for real, okay?

And he tells his daughter, Sally. Come in here, darling. He said, help me walk me out to the yard. I want to show you something. So she walks him out to the yard, and he said, right here. He said, after I die, he said, wait a while, and then, you know, come out here and dig us up. Yeah.

So look, she had forgot about it. It's been two years he's dead. You know, he's gone. She had forgot about it. And they had had a family reunion. And she said, oh, good grief, I forgot. And all the kids said, what do you mean? You forgot, you all the brothers and sisters.

And they said, Dad took me out in the yard and showed me a spot. And he said, after I'm gone, go ahead and dig it up. So, hey, they go out there and dig it up. And it's about 10 maces jars full of money. You know, the next thing, hey, here comes a backhoe. and they dig the whole yard up. They digged the whole property up. Hey, back there was just, you know.

Well, they laughed about it. And said, well, that was the only spot he had money. Y'all, he said, because Max said, because, hey, we dug the whole property up. He said, yo. Oh, that's a good thing. Chase didn't roll up there. Oh, boy.

Jay's would have been on his hands. He'd have been out there with his spade. Oh, no, no. Teak, tink. Okay. Let's see what I'm sorry. So Uncle Marvin. Uncle FM had the money.

No, Uncle Marvin. I need to learn more about Marv. Marvin. Big Marr. Survive. Look, Hayd Boys and made money. I got a good one for you.

This man never worked the day in his life. You know, he did. It was trapping. He ran a trap line. That's about all he ever done. He's a hustler. Hold on. You know, Irene, I know why she was mean now.

Because Uncle Marr was her husband. So she had to do all the work. That's why she was mean. Yeah. And if you set your feet onto her table, she's fixed to cut you with her toes. Point blank.

She's going to reach down there and she ain't wearing no shoes and she'd grab you with that big toe in the next one and pinch the blood out of you. And, hey, no, no. The Hobbes that and Hale had a mean streak with them boys.

I got way more questions than answers. Maybe we can Maybe we can answer them right after this break. What does that mean? Catch you. Hey, they're mean hoes. Huh.

Hey. Interesting. We'll be right back for the last second. I don't know how many times I filmed back to us kids in them in Washington. Thank you, sir. And hey, I ain't talking about this. This was in the day when we was little. And, hey, these suckers were like this.

And, hey, it ain't another one. You couldn't fit another purple tail on it. I know a place that still gets like that. during the summer. Can I take you down there and we do it for old time's sake? No. Can I just back you into it?

I'm going to make it a YouTube video. You said you want to go back to your childhood? No, no, because that's that. You remind me of that place when we went up there and film and you chased me with that dead rattlesnake. Uh-oh. Look, and uh.

I only did that because I knew you didn't have a gun. Oh, no, no, no. Because, hey, if I had one, I'll have shot you. I know. But anyway, what I liked about that when we was out there in the boat and that thing, we look up in a dead tree out there in the middle of the thing.

And look, honey was just running out of this stupid tree down to the water. Mm-hmm. I remember that. Full of beads. I got a question. Oh, no. Full of bead.

I got a question you probably would know the answer, Martin. Uh-oh. Since you run with these professional bass fishermen, if a professional bass fisherman wore that shirt he's wearing right now. I would automatically assume he's getting paid a lot of money. Go to hangooshop.com to get yours. I was sitting here thinking, is him wearing that, Johnny D. wearing that shirt, is that helping or hurting?

Oh, I see why he's doing. This is advertisement, boys. Oh, yeah. I always wear the brand, man. He's wearing the brand, boy, the family brand. That's family business. Yeah, that's the honey hole. Let me assure you something.

Nepotism is still very much real over at the honey. What's you talking about? What are you talking about, Jack? That is a terrible shirt. Terrible. No, I've always wondered. I've heard people call, you know, golfers, athletes. Uh-oh.

Professional fisherman athletes. What's the definition of an athlete? Uh-oh. We went through this a little bit last week. Si, would you call a... Si said a bull rider's not an athlete. I would beg the difference on a bull rider. No.

Hey, a bull rider is a crazy man. Okay, there ain't no athlete involved in that. What about a race? car driver. Yeah, NASCAR. NASCAR driver. That ain't no sport either. I can't do it.

Now, he could be an endurance athlete. Who? I would say back in the day, you probably had that argument. Today's NASCAR drivers are, I mean, they're comfortable. They're physical specimen. They look to be in good shape. And even golfers, I remember when I was growing up, there were a lot of fat golfers. Yeah.

Nowadays. Golfers now are like other sport washouts. I mean, that's kind of like. Oh, boy. Well, I mean, there's several levels. So they can't cut it. They can't cut it in any other sport. Well, they can't get to that level.

Okay, so that level. Yeah. I mean, like Dustin Johnson can flat-footed dunk a basketball. I mean, and he can also hit a golf ball 360s. I would say Dustin Johnson is an athlete. Well, I'm amazed. But all golfers are athletic because it takes hand-eye coordination to do it. But that doesn't mean that they're all an athlete.

So hand-eye coordination is part of being an athlete. Well, yeah. All right, Jay-D, what is the definition of athlete? One moment, please. By Webster. By Mr. Webster? Yeah. Okay, but here's what I will say for those that play all this, do all this stuff, especially golf.

Mm-hmm. I am amazed at what they can do with a iron or a wood. Oh, 100%. Okay. To a little white ball. Yeah. It's ridiculous what they can do. with it.

So unpopular opinion. Baseball was better with steroids. Do you agree with that? Agreed. No. And I wish I could prove this because me and Jason Robertson has that just stupid argument forever. I would give Jason Robertson he could use all the drugs he wants on his team.

Okay. I mean all of them. Team of what? Baseball. Baseball team. I will take 10 people or 9 people that love to play the game. And I will whip his drug-induced team every time we play. What if his drug-induced team is like Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa?

Look, drugs didn't make Mark and McGuire and Sammy Sosa knock him home runs. They had to, no, no, no, no, no, okay. I got a Wheaties box with me. Mark McGuire's face on that. Hey, they had to have the natural ability to put that bat on that ball. That's an argument for steroids. No, I ain't arguing for steroids. Baseball was better with steroids.

Steroids make you feel like you're 10 footfall, but hey, you're still 5-11 or whatever you are. You're still an itty-bitty man. Okay. Mark McGuire was not any bit. But your hands move way faster. Now, here's the deal. And you're way stronger. And the ball.

And the ball flies way farther. I'll put it this way, okay? When they could luck out and put the bat on the ball, a guy that worked out with weights would hit it further than someone like me. You don't say. Okay, because it would just say that's just physics, okay? But when you're saying, okay, drugs makes me better, you're talking about a drug dealer's, you're talking about a promotional thing.

Okay, this is a promotional guy that, finally just hit the home run himself. Oh, I know what I'll do. I'll shoot them full of drugs and call it, oh, this ain't drugs. This is a performance enhancing shot I'm giving you. Believe that God, a PED. Performance, this is going to make your performance way better.

We could do a whole episode on you. Oh, yeah. You're never going to. convince me because the only way to argue, stop this argument, give me nine men that love to play the game. Okay. So, so now, I'm going to end it with this.

Uh-oh. Okay. All right, he's got the final say-so boys. The coup de grace. The coup de grace. It is a fact that the steroids will make you bigger, faster, and stronger. Okay. We know that, right?

Yep. So. I will agree with it. all that so if if you take somebody like johnny d for instance okay you give him a baseball bat and put a ball on a tee he hits it maybe 150 feet okay you give him steroids and let him work out for a year then he's going to come to the tea and hit it 250 feet because he took steroids not because he's any good because he's not good. I was decent at baseball.

The only thing, I agree with the theory behind it, like you're saying, but you still got to bring in the talent, okay? And in my humble opinion, okay, it says, I'll go to music. There is God-giving talent.

Okay, this person gets it. This clown over here, don't get it. And then there's auto too. No, no, no, no. Hey, look, and you can say, okay, this person has it. The steroids of music. Yeah. Hey, no, no.

And then you say, okay, well, what I'm going to do is, and this is a drug dealer, okay, you know, I'm going to just pump you full of this enhancement truck I just come up with. And you're going to be able to do all the wonderful things you, that guy can't. Ain't going to happen. So you're, it ain't going to happen. So who was better? Ken Griffey or Barry Bonds? Who's Ken Griffey?

You can't have this. We're out. Barry Bonds, I know. Okay. Barry Bonds, steroids. Here's why this theory don't hold water, what y'all saying. Do you know how many people's in the home run club? And baseball's been playing for how many years?

What's the home run club? The home room club is all these people that have knocked home runs in They're in the club. 500 plus. 500. I know how many people are in the pipe. Try, how long has baseball been playing?

A lot of year. Longer than you. You know how many people's in this home run club? 27. 5. Yeah, 27. So, hey, y'all take that tear about the drug and flush it down your day. How many of them are from the steroid?

One, two, three, four. five, six, seven, eight. So without drugs, there's only 19. I arrest my case. It ain't but eight with drugs. Huh? But that's because I rest my case. You were driving the Falcon down the river when somebody's...

I rest my case. 19 that liked to play beat the eight that was drug enhancement. That's just the eight that are... Eight aren't in the Hall of Fame. I'm going to assume that's because of drugs. Those eight. We'll say seven. Those eight left 500 in the dust and got to six and seven hundred.

Yeah. This is all so true. 762. Hey, should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame? Absolutely. Barry Bonds? Yeah. He used steroids.

Hey. But hey, look here. Rules of the time. No, no. Here's the thing. How many did he knock before they even come up with this, his performance deal? A bunch.

But you know what? A bunch. But you know what Barry Bonds didn't have? Barry Bonds didn't have Omega XL. Thank you. There you go, baby. You didn't have 35 years of research and development. Working for you.

That's not working for you. We're up against the clock, ladies, gentlemen. Sorry, we did not get into any of the emails at hello. Hello. At dot callroom. We will do it next time. But we'll do it next time. We appreciate y'all joining it.

Look, I am interested if you made it this far with us, I want to know. drop a comment, did steroids make baseball better? I got to know. Ken Griffey. We're out. See y'all next week on the dot com. Hold on.

We got a Bible verse, man. Oh, we do. Go ahead. Do you have one? No. All right. My dad emails me every day with the Bible verse, so we're going with that one today. Whoever dwells in the shadow of the most high will rest in the shadow of the almighty.

I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God and whom I trust. Psalms 91-2 No 91-1 and 2 And my dad said Staying close enough to God To rest in his shadow Makes for a life of satisfaction and trust So Big Dave
