Hey, you just remind him something. Do you think a Cajun's ever rolled an alligator? Oh, I'm serious. As a mode of shampation. Probably not as a drunk. Yeah, I told these idiots that. I said, hey, look, hey, Cajun has rode an alligator. There's no.

Probably rolled him to school. Does he need a separate alligator? He probably will, yeah. Do you want an alligator? Do I want an alligator? Do you want alligator tags? For an individual accompanied by a licensed alligator hunter with bags. Yeah. No, because I'll fix to go with him. That is exactly what I just said. If you,

if you pull the trigger, you got to have the lights. He's going to have that. Well, yeah, get me out of there to attack because we're going to kill a big guy over there. All right. He's got that now. Hunter, could you read that that I sent you? Wait, it just, hold on. Size LDWF account, email address, j at duck commander.com. Oh, yeah. He's probably got three different email addresses on there. that's funny. Oh, I got a bunch of them. All right, I got both of those. Getting him an Arkansas license is a nightmare.

Yeah. So we're going, yeah. If we always, when we go to another state, we always have trouble. It's just Arkansas. Y'all better be careful. You're in trouble. We're in trouble. The email. Too specific. Wait a minute. What do you mean I'm in trouble? You're in trouble on the internet. Hey, that ain't nothing new.

Are we recording? I spent 24 years in the military and I was in the military, and I was in trouble the whole time I was in it. So we're good. Oh, all right. I was kind of going and I kind of wasn't. Yeah, I didn't know. We have a live studio audience.

We do have a live studio audience. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We got some fine folks. Where are y'all from? South Carolina. South Calcuttax. All right. We got a bunch of Gamecocks.

Are y'all gamecocks or Clemson or what are gamecocks? Okay. I'll see you missed the whole point. Right. We've got a bunch of a beautiful women here. Oh, boy. In the podcast room. Do I think it's stupid?

I like these days. I don't have to do much. That's it, right. He's a good. Wind him up, let him go. Hey, that's right. Frank it up. So you did get in trouble, though, on the, on the internet.

Because of that picture right there. You went mildly viral. Why did I get in trouble? Well, how many? I'm with my hunting partner. Yeah, Stone's part of it too. And with our, with our guide. No.

Bad. he's very good with old gentleman and kids yeah you're a young yeah that's what i'm down to you yeah yeah i'm an older gentleman so why is he in trouble so we posted a video of samuel our good friend who does all the bird impressions birds call man but it was just us watching him before he came here i should say no the bird call young un young and yeah yeah the guy because he's not what about twelfth 13, 12. Something like that. So we showed you watching him for the first time

and like three and a half million people watched it. Yeah. And those aren't all. So they liked it? Well, I don't know. I mean, most people do. I'm thinking about our ratings. But I think we're obviously struggling,

so please like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcast. Yeah. And subscribe on YouTube. Allegedly. But anyway. Who knows? So people tuned in that are bird watchers and love Samuel, which amen we do too right he's the best but the problem is they don't like this person deleted their

account by the way because now their name is just null they don't like what but a screenshot lives forever my friends they don't they don't like dead animals they don't love dead so one of the one of the top comments wait a minute hold it you're showing your ignorance when you talk about you me killing an animal uh-huh well it was about this photograph it was about that photo specifically is they're a picture of two murdered animals in the background? Oh, yeah. Hey. They never felt a thing.

Look, they would hate, like he said, they didn't even know they left this earth. One minute they're sitting there chewing and eating whatever they ate. Okay. And then the next minute, they were in heaven. Well, you got to realize what kind of people are making these comments. I mean, these are not. Well, another, I know what it is.

You're ignorant, okay, and I forgive you for it. Okay, because look, you wasn't brought up the American way. Oh, that's nice, because I believe this, ma'am. Hey, my dad, when I got a Daisy BB gun for Christmas,

okay, he knew I was going to go out and start killing everything I could kill. And his first words out of his might as well if you kill it, you grill it. That's right. Did you kill it? You eat it.

Did you eat those? Oh, yeah. In the photo? Oh, hi, what you're talking about? I know. Did we eat them? Well, it's very. I'm not the one saying it, man.

Well, hey, I'll tell you, I'll give you a good deal. He reports you to say. Who Sundays ago, his youngest daughter, Sage, so she's a little killer, too. She was a late bloomer. She wasn't like BK. BK, I think, come out of the room, ready to kill something. Okay, but Sage

come up to me and I said, fine. She said, guess what? I said what? She said, we're out of tear meat. This is at church. Two weeks ago? She was mad.

You tell her she should have been talking to Jim and Rio? I said, what's sage, the good part of it is, look, it's August. We ain't got but a little while. Did you say winter is coming? We can hunt and kill some more. I saw two deer in my front yard the other day. There's a lot of them.

A lot of them around now. And they are delicious. Oh, no. I've seen a big doe the other day when I was going home for a poker game. That wasn't the other day then. That was the other night. Oh, it was the other morning. Yeah, another night.

It was the daylight. Well, I could understand. Of course, this kid is incredible, by the way, what he can do. The bird guy? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He wasn't a dog hunting, though. And that's what I told him.

They did not like that when I said. said that in the comments. They're like, well, take him hunting and let him shoot his precious birds. I was like, oh, buddy, he is. That's what the plan is. That is exactly the plan. But my favorite part is if you actually go back

and watch him, he's like, oh, and this is Johnny Morris' favorite bird. I don't know if y'all looked up with Johnny Morris. Where's the kid from? Oklahoma City. There's a lot of hunting over there. Why does it make them mad for us to kill a deer? I've noticed most of them have a cat.

All right. A big dollar Drake. It's. You'll see, y'all don't understand. Like Jepta. Okay. I've got a house full of guns.

And I made a house full. I've got like 12 pistols, two or three rifles. And he can slap axles under and call them away at any time. Three or four shot guns. You only have three or four shotguns? Oh, son, I got guns. I, you know, if the war breaks out, I'm ready.

All right. I don't know. I don't need a government. give me any ammo and all that i got ammo guns all that stuff he's ready to go and look and not only that i hope it doesn't break out because everybody knows what your roof looks like in my short 78 year span of life i've actually went into people's houses where they would touch a button on a wall that you couldn't see and the wall would slide open oh big stopbox and hey oh yeah they had a stopbox a stop all right.

Stockbox pro. They had a M-50 caliber machine guns. Hey, did they? With ammo. I got a question. You're going to get us on a list. Oh, I got a question for it.

Did they have their duck stamp in there? Oh, yeah. They did? Oh, yeah. Well, you need to tell them now they can get it on their phone at duckstap.com and add it to the wall. Hey, that's important. Yeah. Even if you don't want.

Hey, it's a beautiful, it's a beautiful stamp, collect stamps. There you go. And, hey, when you get enough of them, hey, a good stamp collection, a lot of, hey, it brings. It brings in green stuff a lot of it. There you go. Anyway. So the kid has a lot of fans that are birdwatchers, I'm guessing.

But here's Martin's response was the best part of the whole thing. They said, is there a picture of two murdered animals in the background? And Martin said, must be your first time here. You're probably not going to like how this escalates if you stay around. And I sat on my couch and laugh for an hour at how it's going to escalate. And then buddy, that sucker took off like a stock market. Oh, I bet. And look, and Laster is good for the soap.

Oh, it was funny. It took off like the stock market. What's the name of this business? Duck Commander. This business was founded on murdering ducks. Not only that. Tricking ducks into thinking they were going to have a good time. And we got to trick them into coming into decoys with our duck calls.

Well, yeah. I don't think. And look, we was the best. that's ever done it. Because we get them in close, and then we just abuse them. Uh-oh.

Careful. Abuse them. That next word's going to be key here. Yeah. And then we eat. Abuse them. And that's toning it down. Because what we really do is,

hey, we get them in at about 15 yards, and then get them all. Happiness is blowing them. We let one get away. Somebody gets chewed out. That's one of the best quotes of all time. Oh, my. Oh, man.

You know the test of a good shirt? You can wear it anywhere, right? You can wear it to the dove field. You can wear it to church. You can wear it on date night. It doesn't matter. And y'all know what shirts we're talking about. We're talking about our friends over at Pancho.

Pancho makes men's outdoor performance shirts that look good enough to wear anywhere. You can wear them fishing with Godwin on the boat. You can wear them dove hunting like Psy. You can wear them to the tailgate, not that football season's back, or to dinner, they're breathable, stretchy, and quick drying with UPF 50 plus built-in, and they seriously feel like butter. They come in size of small all the way to 3X, and you even get to choose your fit. So whether you're slim or tall or just regular, they got you covered.

And the best part is all the little details that show they actually thought about how guys use these shirts. There's a hidden zipper pocket, sunglasses holder, and even a built-in lens cloth for your shades. And when you try one, you'll want it in every color. It doesn't take long before you've got a whole stack of them. Ain't that right, side? Yep. You got you a few of them now, don't you?

Hey, when you get my age...

If you haven't earned a right... to do what you want when you're my age, you're never going to make it. Yeah. So, hey, yeah, I've made it. He's made it. He earned it. You did earn it.

Speaking of earning it, you earned it by going to Vietnam, correct? Yep. Martin sent me a thing on Instagram, and we need you to verify if it's true or not. Did you see tigers over there? Oh, hey, no. We had a general that hunted him when he was off.

Okay, well, here's what we found on Instagram. Yeah, we got tagged in this. That a lot of guys that fought in Vietnam came back with mounted tigers. Hey, why do you not have one? Well, no, no, no. Well, number one, I wasn't in the jungle. But, hey, here's the good point of this. I got a good story that go with this.

What part of Vietnam are you in? He was on base. We was in South Canton, Vietnam, and we had, we was, we stayed in a hotel, three-story hotel. Okay. and I always, okay, my room always had an empty bunk. So guess what? Here's a guy he's been in the jungle for 11 months. Levin Bravo.

So he's been in the jungle for 11 months. He walks in the room. He's got a rutsack with grenades hanging all over it. A M-16 bunch of bandolier ammo and his rifle. And he stays there about two weeks. So he was telling me about a firefight one night. They're all on patrol at night, and the firefights, boom, busts out. You know, some of the guys get shot up pretty bad.

The medic, he's docked him up, passing him up, and he's done dug a bullet out of a shoulder, got him against a tree, he had wrapped him up. This is the Doug Dynasty. Oh, hey, look, they hear a scream. okay and look a bingo tiger has grabbed this soldier

right here where he's been shot and is dragging him off and he told a bunch of kindergartners is okay so hey look they all open up to kill the tiger

they kill him did you tell the kindergarters that they shot the tiger well no they killed the tiger they're there you but hey that's the kind of junk that I went through.

Okay. And look, one time we was in the room, and there was a lot of drinking going on in Vietnam. Can't imagine. So we had done through stuff. If I was getting shot and eaten by Tiger, I would also. The top of the room had a bunch of pretty,

pretty stuff, you know, but we'd already knock it out, throwing stuff in between the room. So look, I got one of them guys again, Levin Bravo, been in the jungle. All he's got, he's got a rutsack with the pineapple grenade. This actually looks like a pineapple.

It's World War II. This is World War II stuff. Yeah, but it's laying right there by his bed. He's under his mosquito net, boot comes through and knocks the mosquito net down. Well, he gets up, walks across the room, and walks in there and says, hey, boys, I'm trying to relax. Y'all, y'all settle down.

Well, they're drunk. They ain't going to settle down. So he comes back in, and here it comes again, the junk comes in the room. Well, he just rinses down, grabs the pineapple grenade. Now, I'm against the wall where he's

throwing this grenade. He just pops it, right? Hold it for about five seconds and throws it in the other room. Well, I'm thinking the wall is fixed to blow out.

So I grabbed the mattress to do a flip, one of the one lady cut my eye the lips everything else in the wiring of the stupid boy I'm laying down and I'm sitting there thinking the bitch

just going boom whoa he's over a giggling he's over a dying laughing because hey you could it was like a cartoon you could hear just people were leaving yeah well he finally gets up

walks in there and he comes back and he tosses me that grenade it was all right wasn't wouldn't you know he wasn't wouldn't loaded but y'all didn't know that but i didn't know it yeah so and if he was as good as you he could kill you with a blanket so hey the rest of the two weeks he was there so you didn't try to jump on it to save you buddies oh no that ain't the robbertsy way no you're man for himself i was i was i was going to be blown over where he would have to be wounded is what i thought was going to happen oh you really had to go than you dentist.

But hey, war time is, no. You recognize any of them boys? You wasn't around none of them, huh? Hey, no. None of these were your friends

holding the tigers. Hey, well, I should say, yeah, I recognize them. Yeah, because that's the way

all of them look. Yeah. That's crazy. And so you came back, and then you started a TV show called Duck Dynasty. Where you tell the people, the children's.

I'm fixing to teach these kids that, hey, somebody paid the price. for their freedom. Have y'all ever heard of the term known? There was a war in Vietnam that we was involved in, the Americans and the Vietnamese.

Okay, does anybody know how many people died? See, y'all thinking. Oh, my goodness, that is one of the greatest. He gets in that Bengal Tiger. And then Phil started... No, no, and Phil. He was showing him how to gut duct. Put this guy against the tree.

He had a shoulder wound. stop the bleeding. There's a bingo tiger grabbed this guy he just bandied dragging him off. They got to kill the tiger. And there ain't none of the blood spraying everywhere. That's funny. He told the story. He told the exactly the way he told it.

Hey, and that was, how many years ago was that? That was like 2011. That's season one. So like 40s. No, that's 1968. Oh, the story. The story. 68. Yeah.

We were talking about what you still tell us. This is 2026. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you getting old, boy. That was 58 years ago. I'll tell you, you're getting old, son.

You were 20. You were 20 when that happened? You were 20 years old and people were getting drug up on Dingle Tiger. Well, no, see, that's the thing that most people don't understand. Okay. When I actually come back,

they got me, said, hey, that was contact. said, hey, we want you to do a movie. Yeah. And I, Horse gone? No.

Were you going to be forced? Oh, no. Have you heard that? Hey, it was the same type of movie. Name it was Faith of Our Fathers. Oh, I know that. So two guys, okay, two young men had lost their dad in Vietnam. So they was trying to figure out who their dad was by going where they had gone.

So they put me in the movie and it was, it was wild. Yeah. yeah he was in that I thought you were talking about they interviewed me they interviewed me what was he coming back and when they was talking about

I said well I said let's how do I word this I said I'm not being disrespectful I said but you got to understand something here I said the American people

sent their sons across an ocean to fight a war and I said and we was kids. And everybody's looking and saying, what? I said, hey, we had

come to commanders that had just turned 21 years old that was sending 18 year olds to death. Go out there in jungle and check them down. But anyway, during that thing

it came up, the word atheist come up. Now, I'm in New York City with this. It's where I'm at. Uh-huh. and the word atheists come up I said there's no such thing the next day the New York Times

front page was Uncle Si says there's no such thing as atheists so I'd unfired a bunch of non-believers and God up so I had to give them one of the I said what let me explain I said okay I said you're in Vietnam

I said you're on guard duty at night in the foxhole. I said, there's two of you. One of them is a religious man, then there's another one that says, hey, I don't believe in God. I said, well, guess what? Charlie, this is tent offensive. Charlie is coming,

and he expects to kill everybody on this compound. Overrunning, kill them all. I said, so, hey, the first thing you look, you look over where the religious man is on his knees praying, saying, Father, I need a little divine help here because

I'm in a serious bind. And I said, guess what? You look over there and the guy that says he's an atheist and don't believe. I said, he's also on his knees

and this idiot don't even know who he's asking for help. I said, now that's why there's no such thing as an atheist. You are a word smith. I'll give you that.

Yeah. Most time you put two of them together that don't really go together. That article came out July 3rd, 2015. Oh, really? Christian Post still got it up. Really?

Hold on. Oh, it was wild. Really was. When you got your hair thin and the easiest thing to do in the world is just throw on a hat, right? But there is something even easier than throwing on a hat.

you need to go see Willie, the boss. And I said, why? She said, you're in trouble again. I said, you know, so I walk in and I said, Willie, what's going on? He said, I can't send you or dad nowhere. Y'all get in trouble. And I said, well, hey, I'll tell you how to end it.

He said, well, how's that? I said, where do we get in trouble? He said, every time I send you to New York, I said, well, quit sending us to New York, tell me. I don't feel getting trouble in his own life. And that way, I won't get in trouble. I feel got in trouble everywhere. We got in the most trouble in New York. Yeah.

You come to our homes. Oh, you were. To rape our women. Oh, no. No, no. That one on for a. about a week and look, the ride home from New York to Monroe, Willie gets up in the middle of the plane and says,

let me tell you something about the Robinson family. Don't come down there, thank you. You're going to rape and pillish our women and all that. We got dogs. They're the first thing of line of defense. We would rather have a Bible study with you if you would. But if you want a gunfight, we'll do that too. We'll be right back with Michael Stray hand on the station.

This is a plane with about 300 people on it, loaded. And Willie went off. It was hilarious. We laughed until we cried. Oh, gosh. Oh, man. What a good one. I don't even know.

Hey, but life has been good to the Robertson family. I don't think anybody could disagree with that. Oh, no, and I'm saying, people don't, that they say God's dead. that used to be one of the headlines when I was a teenager. A paper, three-fourth paper said, hey, God is dead. That's on the front page. Was it really? I'm serious.

Back when I was in high school, like, a level's greater, that was the new, you know, the paper, headline on front page. Hi, hippies. God's dead. Ah, the hippies. But hey, Doug Darnsey, hey, I'm living proof that God, the father, son, and holy spirit. spirit of alive and well and doing the most amazing things with the most unlikely people also

proof he got a sense of humor oh life is great so is god he's the greatest of all oh my goodness man i just wanted to ask about bingo tigers today yeah i was really and murdering that's a pretty animal used to be well in all those days too They're still got them. Yeah, but that one right there. That one right there's got. Yeah, they're failing. You know, they're having trouble.

Yeah. What are they doing? They ain't doing so well. Bengal tiger? Yeah, because you know, you got all them people that think like a tiger's paw or cure, you know, polio. I don't know. Will it? He's a beautiful animal.

There's a bunch of paulus tigers. It would beg to differ. And he lives in water. Yeah. He's like a deer. The tiger is? Yeah. Have you ever been?

into the Monday, too? I'm serious. He lives in water. That tiger just stays in the water, spinning in circles. Oh, no, I'm scared. Probably because he's only got like 20 square feet, but. And he lives in Louisiana. Yeah.

And it's, yeah, it's 117 out there right now. Them things weigh like up to a thousand pounds. That's a big cat. Hey. A thousand pounds? Hey. That's a big cat. You're talking about some tools.

That's why they want them. They want them paws, man. I got, I got a story for you. Uh-oh. Me and Logan were riding through the property this morning. No. You and who? Logan.

Okay. They did the mulching for it. Okay. And y'all saw something. I didn't see it, but he did. Oh, boy. Something black. Oh, no.

Lept across the road. Oh, no. Lept across the road. Yeah. Like a big leap. Oh, no. Like a cat. No.

And he said it was jet black. How far were you from it, Logan? 50 yards. It was close. Here's a question. Just a guess. What would you say what you saw weight? 150 pounds,

100 to 150. I've been on your side this whole time. The sighting of the Black Panther with me, Jason, and Jargawa. The crazy thing about this was that normally we get through hunting, we come back to the bold house, we unload. and the first person that leaves is was Phil Robertson and his dog. Blue's black.

It weighs about 150. That's a big lab. Big lab, okay. Very stubby tail. If Phil had not had to stay and film that day, when we come around that bend and seen that black sitting in the road, I would have said, hey,

as Blue, Phil's let him out to take a dump. he ain't got to do that he just he just take a dump on your stove that's why i say that's why he left him out because he will take a dump in the truck or whatever in the boat whatever he didn't have very good manners yeah oh no oh no hey i'll try to go to sleep one day and the blind he pissed on me that is a true story i watched it happen no i'm serious i'm laying there out here this he just all over my waiters pop him upside the head get away from here, dog, you idiot? That dog had the worst.

Oh, no, he was a manner. It was good grief. But every time he would do something like that, Phil would laugh. He loved it. He loved the fact that we hated that dog. Phil wouldn't laugh. You blow a duck call, that dog would start howling. Hey.

I'm surprised. I'm surprised we ever killed anything. Oh. Because when Phil would hit the duck all on, you did. Old Blue would just go wild. He'd be like a wolf. Oh, you're stupid.

I had that one day. I said, what was that saying? He said I had him by his collards. Yeah, most people hold him by the collar and keep him from breaking, but Phil had him by his. That's Kyle. Oh, that episode hadn't come out yet, has it? No, no, Phil was rough on dog. That was a funny year up there, Phil.

The God episode. What happened? So Phil liked when the dog would piss on people? Oh, yeah, he loved. Oh, no, he loved the dog. But he did the, he was ruffled. Do the Phil laugh. That's what he would do.

Don't look at me that way. I'm not looking at you anyway. Man, Sa is in rare form with our studio audience. Oh, yeah. He is. He's an easy day. How you got that much energy? I'm always better life.

Well, he just woke up from a nap and got here. Can we tell that story? What? Oh. The one of a hot? one or what that's not Tommy one what no we do have a nice pretty exciting trip planned where y'all going up well we're going to stop it honeybrake shoot doves then we're going down to the marsh oh go alligator hunting yeah redfish and we're going and gaysing and then we're going hog hunting in an airboat

at night with thermals and that's with an M16 automatic semi-automatic oh oh that ain't right I'm sure. Ah, you ain't been that acting in three years. They may have an automatic out. I hid in somewhere. You can't say it. But I get him with a semi-as. It don't make any difference.

Yeah. Then all the way back, we'll stop back at Honeybrake and shoot some blue-wing till. That's a tree. That is. You got to burn your gun. You get a gator. Get some redfish. Okay.

Now some doves. And then you get to shoot them little fast flying blue wing. You fired up? Oh, what are you talking about? That's going to be fun. And I got that little pop gun that goes, boom, boom, boom. A little 28 gate. Oh, 28 gates.

Are you, are you, did you set all this up? No. No, he heard me talking about it and invited himself. That's right. That's right. He started talking about what all he's going to do. And I said, I am invited. My thinking was, I thought it might be a little too much for him.

It's true. But. There ain't too much. Got the oxygen. There's that. Oh, he'll take a day. I ain't really big in shooting gators, but I will. I bet he misses the nighttime activity.

Oh, yeah. I don't know he is a night out. The hogs with the thermals. Oh, the only nighttime activity nowadays is poker. Poker and ice cream. That's right. Poker and ice cream. That's it.

How many gators have you do a lot of gator hunting? Huh? Well, I wouldn't say I've been gager hunting, but I have been fishing and seen a lot of cager hunting. But I have been fishing and seen a lot of casers. Okay. For the last time we went to Honey Break, we're saying about eight. So you've never killed a gator? No.

No, well, isn't it into stuff like that? I've never killed. I've been in a boat where one got shot. Well, now you can in Louisiana. You just buy a lot of them? No, there's more gators now than there are humans. I did see a thing the other day about how many gators we got, and it's too many. No, no, hey.

Yeah, they're overpopulated now. Mm-hmm. There's too many of them. They are too many. You know. We whack ours. We lack our 32 a year. So anybody?

The human that can't regulate nothing. Yeah, anybody, as long as you're with a license alligator hunter, you can. Yeah. Well, how do you get a license? How do you become a license alligator hunter? You got to have a commercial fishing license. Ain't nothing to it. Yeah, we're going with some guys.

That's what surprised me. All these years, Phil, there must have a lot been, been a lot of gators around. down then. On what? Because Phil never did have any problem with his nets. Oh, yeah. No, there wasn't many of them. Now, I mean, it, it,

watched our rivers just like recently getting a healthy population allocators. They've always stayed away. Yeah, because people are always talking about the one down there at the cutoff. Yeah. Y'all saw much y'all shot one that was in our bass pot that was line foot. Mm-hmm. And the old answer was y'all didn't get the big one. That was the big one still out there.

and hey, and all the crocodiles know that they're coming to this river, to this spot every year. They're waiting. Yeah, I think I'd ride it out. I'd ride it out on the other side.

I mean, I'm serious. There's so many crocodiles that they literally could go across on top of crocodiles. And when you see a crocodile pull a big old wildebeest down out of water. Yeah. Forget that. That's all you needed to say to make sure you said. Oh, no. Yeah, you don't go swimming there, boys.

That mouth full of teeth had me putting that already. Yeah, you don't go. go swimming anywhere around here. No, no, it showed to Al. Al went to Africa. And they was in a village and it was a little pond in the village. And Al

Or make it better Hunter You're out What did you say? He said you put cinnamon coffee in your cinnamon toast crunch milk Or something Yeah.

Terrible. Something to that effect. It was so good, and then you put bitter leaves and beans. Chocolate chip, not chocolate chip, Oreos in an ice cream. Now, hold on now. That's good. You're against Oreos and ice cream? You're ruining good ice cream and ruining a good cookie.

Wait, time out. You don't like Oreos and an ice cream? I thought he was going to come at me and ferment chocolate chip, and I was ready to defend. But the whole world's against you now. What? Everybody likes... I don't like chocolate chips. You don't like...

Chocolate of chips is messy. How are you eating them? Huh? Have you seen how he eats everything else? Everything you eat is messy. I get it all over every time I eat anything. Yeah. So why you take it out of chocolate?

I mean my second childhood for crying out loud. Well, long as we ain't got to change your diaper. Hey, I found it by the way. If you need that for hunting season, I got it. It's a double X, I'm sure, so we might have to have it hemmed up. Oh, that'd be good. He could put it over the top of his waiters. No, you got a...

That's too plain. Two plain. What do you want, a picture of you on it? Oh, hey, if you know, if you put something on like that, you got to have it flared, put some glitter on it. He's taking you hunting. You want him wearing glitter? Be fair, he would be wearing all white.

What do we hunt? I don't know, whatever you want to hunt. You don't want to say if there's a season, I'm in. So whatever you want to do. I was just making the point you said he's going to have to do everything for you. He's like Elvis present. He's going out there in blue jeans and a t-shirt. what is el why are you bringing elvis into this because he's a dresser is elvis still alive sir

huh you think elv's still alive no i think he was a couple years ago no no they run him oh what is connor parker i don't know carner park and and eliz's uh management run that boy to death he'd be 91 if he was still up now so i think whatever island he was chilling on old age caught Ellis could not live on an island. Why not? Because he's got to have the fans. He said he wasn't alone. He's an entertainer.

Entertainer can't live alone. How would you know? Because I'm an entertainer. Got to have the people. I'll fall that one. Hey, I'm big into Constitution. We're the people, baby. What is that?

Well you just want you Now it'd be way more fun if you didn't defend it Yeah Okay okay okay okay we just want you to say it in the microphone Okay do y'all think that dinosaurs are real at one point Dinosaurs Well of course they're real That's where we get our oil from

Fossil fuel Fossil fuel Uh-oh. Johnny D. I mean, there's a lot of movies proving that we could bring them back. Hey, there's another good question. Did the caveman ride the dinosaurs?

I sure he did. Absolutely. I mean, some of them. Could you imagine riding a triceratops? They actually did that in Jurassic World as part of a ride. They were baby triceratops. I'd like to ride the, what is the bird, the big bird? A pterodactyl?

Yeah. Oh. A big bird. We're actually going to hunt taradactyls in Texas. Oh, Sandhillcane. I was like, what kind of? We're on that, that's right. I was about to say, I knew we had money.

I didn't know we had go hunt tarotactyl money. I thought that was only reserved for like Jeff Bezos. I'm going to take my 38 to that hunt, too. My 38 special. You're going to shoot him with a pistol? And hey, if he rars up like the did it, Jason, I'll blow his head off with that pistol. This girl's dying to tell us why dinosaurs aren't real. Now I do because you're over there just like, they believe in dinosaurs like a bunch of goofs.

Okay, so I think if they were real at one point, they would, like, some form of it would still be here. They are. Are they? Have you seen the birds? Are you seen the birds? Because birds are not dinosaurs. My friend, he told you a whole story about an alligator the size of this room earlier. There is evidence.

They find bones all the time But you could also think Bones could be reconstructed into books something different. You think all the archaeologists are in on it together? You never know. You're one of my favorite people. I mean, you're wrong on this one but I do enjoy it.

This one would have. Okay, so now I got a question for you. Did we go to the moon? Have we been to the moon? Yeah, probably. Huh? Probably. Probably. So moon landing, 100% real, dinosaurs absolutely fake.

I just like saying where people's heads are at. You know, I've flip-flopped on all those before, so not against anything you're saying. I'm in on the moon landing now, but I've always been in on dinosaurs. I think the dinosaurs couldn't fit in the arc. But he had two of... Dinosaurs couldn't fit in the arc. Oh, yeah, they could. No, they couldn't.

That's my thing also. He said that there's like two of every kind on the ark, and if they were two of every kind, I feel like there would still be dinosaurs here. No, he left them. They were too mean. You can't have a dinosaur on an ark. Then we'd all be toast. That's what I'm saying.

Like, if they, he had two of every kind of, like. So dinosaur would have been. So dinosaur would kill you on an art, but not a lion or a tiger. They probably had something to do it like there. Komodo dragon or. Oh, no. Oh, no. Or crocodiles.

Oh, no. Armless. I mean, this is. There you go being human. What? You're, you're, uh, underestimating God. Oh, you think he calmed them down. Yeah.

Everybody got along. I wish he wouldn't have to calm that fly catcher down and he'd ate them to them two skaters. He actually told him to go to the ark. I know. I just wish he to get rid of them skeeters and them ticks. Well, I ain't figured out why that's there, but I mean,

you know, maybe I'd be one of the questions to ask one day. Oh, what did you make this mosquito farm? Yeah. I've got a lot. It's got a perfect. Before we record again.

I got to figure out, I don't even know if dinosaurs are real anymore. Well, you've forever had a, a sticker on your computer said birds aren't real. You can be talked into a lot. Okay, but here's the problem.

Now some birds aren't real. Here's the other question I got. They really are doing that in China. I just thought it. It was a joke. What's the largest fish we've got? Is that the whale? Whale shark.

A whale is shark, yeah. A whale is a mammal. A whale is a mammal. Spotted whale shark. Yep. The blue whale is the largest animal. Well, hey, this is a good question. I've asked that to everybody.

Okay. Why, when you're in the ocean and you hook a fish? Oh, they're always white. And when they get close to the boat, it's silver flashes, and then when you pull them up, they're solid red. Where does the silver come from? Go ahead. Thank you for that.

Wait, can you say that again? No, no. Why are fish different colors? I'll give you a, I'll give a, he hooked into a nurse shark. Mm-hmm. Now, this thing is black and brown polka dot. Back and brown. Camouflot.

When it was out there in the water, every time it would turn, it would be just like somebody's got a mirror of flashing silver. And when we get it beside the boat, this stupid thing is dark brown and dark black. Polka dots. And this is your eyes telling us this? Huh? Yeah, now this before he had a search.

Was this there the time of one lens? There was no alcohol involved. I'm just saying. So you're saying it was like iridescent. Like it was like shining in the light. Basically, saltwater mutes all colors until they get to the top. It's what he's saying. It's something about the blue water.

Yeah. When something disturbs it. And the sunlight. And the sunlight, it makes it silver. We had to bring in a physicist on that one, buddy. I don't know what else. It actually is crazy.

It's crazy. Over the last six years. It was probably. a different like fish than a nurse chart. Oh. Like it's probably different species. So they caught it. I got it on deck.

Everything that they pull in is a different color and yet it flashes silver. Why you think the spoon works so well? When I say silver, it looks just like that right there. You know, I don't know that one. See? No, it's crazy. But she knows you've never caught a dinosaur. Yeah, true, true.

Those are big facts. Great white sharks are basically dinosaurs. There's a lot of. of the things that are on her argument not mine i'm in on them do you believe in black panthers oh boy yeah okay i'm i've been on your side for six years i like to look this here and i think there was one of those on the art he looks like he's been playing with a wall socket i always like to ask everybody here this have y'all seen a black panther and it's shocking oh mom has mom has carolina that checks dude oh oh

Hey, I had my aunt shot at one. Mm-hmm. Only one ever. Oh, no, I'm serious. She walked outside on her porch with 30-30 and looked up the tree by side her, and he took off running. She shot at it. Is that the one that claw you with her toenails?

Huh? Your aunt that clawed people with their toenails? Was that her? Yeah. Bear Sue. Marisoe was wild. See, folks, don't drink. You don't need it.

Hey. Living proof right here, buddy. It's got weird. It's way more fun. just being on a natural high. You don't need trucks. Yeah, make your own Noah Tropic. Hey, Mackey High.

You got to do what you got for. Yeah. Well, I'm just going to throw it to Noah. Genesis 817. Genesis 817. What do they do in Genesis 817? I have no idea. God told Noah you can leave the ark now.

But hey, it's fixed to be a flood. No, no, no. It's floods over. Floods over. They've landed. Oh, they've landed. And God said to Noah, bring out every kind of living creature.

So some of them died? I don't know. I'm reporting. You decide. That is with you. There you go. The birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground

so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase and number on it. All right. We'll see y'all next time. Right here in the duck call room. We're out. We've done it again, boys.
