Well, they get on your nerves, I guess.
Well, and you, a person can't sit there and not hit it.
I mean, it's just, see.
Well, especially when you had 12 of them.

So without further ado, look, guys, we are, I think we can probably all self-admit something here.
We are coming off Mother's Day weekend.
I think I'm going to just go ahead and say it right now.
I'm a mama's boy.
It's all there is to it.
I am a mama's boy.
So Mother's Day is always a cool holiday.
You get to celebrate the moms.
and we all, I know everybody's mother and mother figures in this room, and I'll say right now,
our sample size is pretty strong on mothers and mother figures for who we all have in our lives.
So, you know, I think it's a cool day to celebrate moms.
Dad, you get your turn coming up here, you boys that's had children, you get your turn coming up here in about a month and a half.
but for our moms just to take a step out a day aside give them some flowers cook for them all that kind of good stuff it's pretty awesome
so moms make the world go around yeah i was also known as mama's baby boy all my siblings were jealous
of the relationship me and mom had were you the favorite that's what they said that's what my sister says too
he were the baby and so was i
but like martin said i'm got to mean looking his eye right now yeah you know you're the favorite
no no not even close well i was but i you know i've met all your siblings you know before they
passed on and i see why you and jan were the favorites and there's there's there's good reason for
that oh no there is you're our favorite i was abused by five older brothers and six
And so was Jen.
That's funny.
I guess the...
Look, I had a duty crisis because of it.
Well, the telling point in all of this is baby, baby, baby,
first.
Oh, this.
Hey, the first always catches it.
You were the trainee.
I was a guinea pig.
Yeah, the first one, you know, that day, you're the guinea pig.
So, yeah.
Here's the deal.
What's the favorite?
your fondest
recollection about your mom
growing up.
Because I've got mine.
Yeah, I'll start with mine.
Go ahead.
Mama, okay, dad was always a way working.
Okay, so that left to discipline, okay,
up to mom.
Okay, and it just, now that, you know,
as you look back, a lot of things
that wasn't funny at the time,
become hilarious, okay?
So mom was one of the type that she would,
you would do something like break a butcher knife or something,
and she would say, I'm going to get you for that.
Three days later, you're something,
time that moved on.
Did he say break a butcher knife?
Oh, yeah.
I don't know how you do that, but.
Well, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, that happened a lot around Robertson's house, okay,
because everything is geared around food.
So we broke a lot of butcher night.
But anyway,
Three or four days later, something else would happen.
She said, I'm going to get you for that.
Five days later, something else happened.
Then you would catch her in one of them, what we call,
mom's in a bad mood.
But when she was in a bad mood, she had grabbed Holt of you.
And then the discussion will go like this.
Go out and get me a switch off of the bush and then come back.
Yep.
And then it was one of them bushes, you know,
people say, God, I didn't got a sense of the year,
Oh yeah, trust me.
Maybe all that thunder stuff, maybe that's him laughing.
I don't know.
But anyway, he's got a sense of humor because, hey, he made a bush growing out of a yard.
It was one purpose in life.
It grew the perfect switches to whip young people with.
Okay, because all mom had to do is do this with her wrist,
and that thing would eat you up.
I think it things were passed down from generation.
the generation like you go cut a limb off and stop it in the ground when you get ready to have
kids and it'd grow and then that way you always had something it it may be i don't know because
we had one in our yard so anyway i go and then i get to the i get to the age okay
f 12 13 you know i don't got smart i know it i know what's going on now yeah so she's
telling me go get a switch i went out there and grab it and do it this way you know
That doesn't a break after about four, four licks.
Break it all.
Oh, yeah, it lasted four licks.
She broke that one and she said, young man, go get me another one.
And she said, let me go ahead and explain today.
We may be here all day and we may pick every, that bush down to the bare ground.
Because you better get a good one.
Look, the next one I picked, she whooped me for six months.
Okay.
And when it broke, my mother literally hit her knee and cried.
I thought we were talking about the fondest memory.
Oh, we want the fondest memory.
That's why he said, you know, when you look back and things that aren't funny,
it wasn't funny at the time.
But now looking back, look, you know, you do stuff and she'd let it go for three weeks.
And then you're running around.
She's got you by the hand.
And she's got that little old switch that is just,
eating your bare legs alive.
And she's just, you're doing a dance.
She's leading.
Okay, you're running around a circle and she's just,
oh yeah, what was it last week?
Oh yeah, you broke that butchinaw.
Oh, yeah, hold it two days ago.
What was that?
What did you do?
Oh, yeah, you were disrespectful.
He's spinning in his chair.
You know, and I'm just, my legs.
I thought you were the favorite.
Look like I'd been out in the sun and had a bad sunburn as she got through tearing them legs up.
No, we had a peach tree in our backyard.
Oh, we.
And those peach limbs, they had some burrs on them.
I mean.
Of course, we had to do the same thing.
Mama would say, go out there and pick you a limb, cut you a limb off, bring it back.
Of course, I would much rather mama give me a weapon when I was a kid than my dad.
My dad was a large individual, and he took that belt, and that was, you know.
And it whistles through the air.
And it whistles.
Yeah, it whistles through the air.
Big Mike don't play.
No, he don't play.
But I would say my fondest memory of my mother, when I say fondest, I'd say one of the best lessons she taught me.
I remember when I was seven, eight years old, I wanted to play basketball.
Well, we had basketball go in the backyard.
Well, my mom would play with me.
Every day when I got home from school, we'd play, and she'd whoop my butt every day.
I couldn't beat it.
The girl could play basketball.
But I'd get a year older.
She'd still beat me.
I'd get closer and closer.
And I remember her telling the story how I used to throw fits and just act like an idiot because I couldn't win.
And I finally won one day.
And I guess I was about 11 or 12.
And she said, well, you finally beat me.
I guess I'm not going to play anymore.
Send her into retirement.
And I said, wait a minute now.
She said, play with your brothers.
I'm done with you.
So the lesson she taught me, and she told me later on, we laughed about it.
She said, yeah, she said, I knew there would come a day when I wouldn't be able to beat you.
So I beat you as many times as I could before that day got there.
So, and then I turned around and did the same thing to my brothers.
But she wasn't about to stick around for you to drum her from there.
That's right.
I like that.
Go out on top, boys.
That was a good one.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, my mom, same way.
She, uh, I'm trying to think, like you said,
said, looking back on this, one of them deals, you know, I'm, I'm thankful for my mom,
no matter Saturday and Sundays for a lot of kids for weekend, right?
Well, not, not us growing up.
Saturday meant you got to mow all the credit union yards for no money, you know, no, no cash money.
changed hands, but I never wanted anything either.
But every Saturday morning, from about the time I was six, maybe seven years old,
I was at that credit union mowing that grass and pulling weeds out of flyer beds,
doing all that kind of mess.
And then Sunday morning, you think, man, I get to sleep.
Not Sunday morning, church.
And Dad Gumman, she drug us there kicking and screaming.
But she drug us there.
and that I'm thankful for
and for teaching me on Saturday mornings
it ain't nothing in this life given to you
get up wake your butt up you go earn it
like said I never I never received cash money
but I never wanted anything
if we was at the store and they had new fishing bait
mama by meant new fishing bait
long as I kept mowing that grass
I never you know that was
and looking back on it at the time I was thinking
man you work and doing all this ain't getting no money
what the heck.
Then I look back at and I'm like, but I got a new fishing rod, got a new fishing bait,
got a new tackle box, got a new shotgun, you know, any of that kind of stuff that I wanted
as long as I did that, they took care of me.
So, you know, I'm thankful for those lessons that she taught me that early, you know.
That's a cool thing.
Well, you know, I'm looking back.
When I was a kid, we had a list of chores that we had to accomplish every day.
and nowadays I look at the kid even I can say this about my own parenting I do not have enough chores for my kids every day
so I need to get back get back to the old ways of doing things I'll find I'll look around I'm washing dishes I'm thinking
why am I washing dishes I got three kids you know I'll be mama's in there doing laundry I'm thinking why is mama doing laundry
we got three kids so we're fixing to have a of an awakening of sorts at my house but they
my do have they do help their mother a lot which it makes me feel good inside watching them help
their mother do stuff like that but uh but no back back even in when i was growing up i can't
imagine the list of chores he had to do oh yeah they had to milk a cow oh no my my chores consisted
the weed eating, you know, around a sewage pond.
And I mean, you get that weed here on the edge of that sewage pond just right.
It just, you just get covered with that green sludge.
Yeah, and that's back before they gave you safety glasses.
That's right.
No glasses.
Get some of that moisture up there around the eye.
You know, mow the yard, weed eat.
All my chores were mowing other people's yards.
I don't think my dad trusted me to mow his, but I had to mow all the grandparents.
That's the same way my dad was.
I wasn't going to touch a yard at the house.
Everybody else's yard fair game.
I noticed you had a crew mowing your yard the other day I drove by.
My uncle always said- At my house?
Yeah.
No.
You mow your own yard?
I mow my own yard.
I bought a lawnmower this year.
Really?
Yeah.
There's a crew at my house, though.
They're remod.
Oh, okay.
Might have been them.
Might have been them.
There was a crew this morning mowing the median, but I don't know.
I've always wondered who did that.
I finally found out.
But no, I mow my own yard now.
I took some time off there when Willie had me gone every weekend.
How long does it take you to mow your yard?
My yard?
30 minutes.
Mo, and then it's like an hour of wheat eating.
Lucky rascal.
How often do you mow your yard?
Every two weeks or so.
I'm feeling judge.
He drove bass this morning and thought that needs mowed, and you are correct.
There's been trucks in my, I was trying to see where he was going.
That's exactly it.
That's why I had to move out of the compound.
But, look.
Yeah, everybody passes my house and judges me on their way out.
Well, you know, Johnny is the, what do you call it?
the HOA, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, my uncle Johnny, but his yards look terrible lately.
He keeps claiming it's too wet.
I'm like, no, that thing, sir.
Well, look, moms everywhere, mothers, mothers to be,
those that are struggling to be mothers, mothers that have passed,
everybody dealing with every different stage of motherhood in your life,
we salute you because y'all are the glute.
And we'll be right back after our first.
Can I talk about my mom?
We'll do it when we come back.
A little tiny lady?
Yeah, come on.
She couldn't hurt me.
We're going to run it back.
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 Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby.
Ain't it good?
It's so good.
Our friend, Sall Robertson would say, buy on the grill.
Look, before we got Triedells, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day.
And you never really know where that beef comes from.
But with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.
Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas.
They're a fifth generation American ranch.
So they've been at it for a while.
Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch.
And other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way.
Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door.
We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill.
Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire.
That's all you need.
Look, because I'll tell you what, when the...
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 isn't a big meat easier, folks.
Yeah.
Just go to trybeef.com slash.
That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.
no listening to y'all it is you know i never thought about the parents must have got together
and talked to each other about okay how are how we're going to do this because you all
saying same thing that mine said they're turning the cameras though yeah oh i'm telling you yeah
just yeah no i guarantee i think that switch tree was passed down from generation to generation
we didn't have a switch tree use a you use a you
You were lucky.
But my mom was too small.
But you had a queen-sized bed.
No, I'm not going down to Willie Road.
I'm not going down everywhere.
That ain't me.
That ain't me.
No, I'm just telling you right now, my Mamma, who was a lot like my mom in a lot of ways,
because both my parents worked, had a switch tree.
And then Mom also had a switch tree at the house.
All the difference was, at Mamma's house, it was a lot shorter walk to that switch tree,
so you couldn't put off the...
the correction quite as long you know mom at the house you could kind of get lost and meander
and give yourself about 30 minutes get psyched up for it ma'amaw watched you every step of
away it wasn't about seven steps from the back door yeah and then buddy when you got up there
well grandma now was no she's like grandma was like homie homie don't play okay and neither to the
grandma yeah she would tear your butt up oh and grandma's grandma what she was she
Oh, what are you going on?
Oh, buddy.
What are you talking about?
I'm from a long line of tiny people.
My grandma was 5'2 with a perm, Jack,
and she would beat the snot out of you right now if you needed it.
Hey, Grandma's short.
I think she was, what, 87 when she died?
Everything in her kitchen was Dutch oven iron, okay?
So, hey, no, no.
Strong.
Little white.
Little white-headed lady in her house with a log cabin
that she had done washed with a rag so much
that it was slick as a newborn baby's butt and white.
Okay, because she used, put turpentine on a rag
and turpentine thing.
I believe it.
Hey, she had whoop you and I had.
My mom.
You grab her that woman's arm.
You know, no.
And I can say this for both my mom's, both my grandmothers.
They were to.
kind that cooked my grandpa's lunch every day.
And I'm not talking about like going there and put them a cold sandwich together.
I'm talking about peas, cornbread, dried deer steak, some sort of something.
Yeah. A full meal.
Lunch was lunch.
Yeah.
Just like we used to have down at Phil and Kate.
They did that for my pap balls every day, which is why I was always like, yeah, I'll stay at my mom.
Are you kidding?
That's how I went from 90 pounds to 160.
That was the second grade.
I got on memo's bags, son.
Here's the choice, okay.
You know, you don't want dad whooping you.
No, uh-uh.
Okay, or you don't want grandmama whooping you.
Mama's way better.
Okay.
And look, look, someone wrote a song about it,
and I wish I could remember the name of it.
The whole song is about,
I knew Mama before she was Mama.
Oh.
Because people don't realize, you know,
because my kids, I remember my kids talking in the room,
they done got their butt tore up,
and they was in there talking about, well,
how in the world did she know that?
You know, you could hear them whispering and I'm telling them,
we was behind closed doors.
How did she know what we was doing?
You know, we'd tell them,
tell me, hey, it's hard
for you to imagine there's
child.
I was your age once.
You know, I've done what you do.
You know, so
it's hilarious, okay?
Johnny D. Give us something about Big Jam.
Big Jam? We all love Big James.
See, that's, y'all talking about
mommas and grandmas. I don't, I got
like a few spankings from my mom, never
from either of my grandmas. But I think
it's because the men in my life were so scary.
They just knew to threaten
that because my dad's dad was a sergeant in Vietnam and a church of Christ preacher so that's just
scary there that's hard nose there boys and so then and my papal just sent me back to my dad
but I remember the I don't know if I've told this story the last spanking my mom ever gave me I was
like in the second grade my mom's 5-4 couldn't hurt anything if she tried I started laughing
bad call that was the last one ever bad call wrong reaction yeah and so my dad just I mean my dad
beat the snot out of me.
Yeah.
I figured out mom pretty early.
I'd let her get about four or five licks in,
and then I'd let that first crocodile tear go down the face.
He'd say, that's enough.
I was too dumb.
But I was always new.
I was with Si.
Mama's the one you won't whooping you.
Because Mama still looks at you like her baby,
and she's going to whoop you and correct you,
but she ain't going to go to where if dad's got to get called in.
Things have got serious.
It's done got bad.
Yeah.
I just wish I knew.
It's got bad.
If dad's called in for the discoling,
you're in serious trouble, Jack.
And Mamaw would whip you twice a day whether you needed it or not.
I wish my Mamma would have spank me because she was smaller than my mom.
I'll tell you, worst one I got for my grandmother.
Grandma spank people?
Oh, man.
I'm still.
I come in with wet, muddy shoes on.
I knew the rule was to drop them at the door, but I had to use the bathroom.
I was in a bind.
Yeah, he's in a bind.
So she let me finish using the bathroom first.
And then she whooped you.
And then she whipped me.
And then she made me clean it all up.
There you go.
But I had to take that whooping because if not,
we're going to have a lot bigger mess to take care of other than that.
I can safely say my mama had never worked me.
I tell you nothing about my mama.
I watched her wash my cousin's mouth with comet.
With comet?
Because he said a cuss word.
She said, give me that tongue.
Oh, yeah.
Took that tongue and poured that comment on that tongue.
Open your mouth.
And got it all.
Common.
Common.
Common.
Green common.
There's literally a number on there to call if you ingest it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, this was back in the day, sir.
Yeah.
Oh, my grandparents were old school.
I may not be 35, but they both retired early.
And I got in on that generation of raising just like my dad did.
That's one of my biggest regrets, okay, is I did not get to know.
I got to know both grandmamas, but I did not get to know the men.
Yeah.
My grandfathers, neither one on either side.
And it has always, to put it mildly, pissed me off big time.
Okay, because when they talk about them now.
Yeah.
You know, because I tell people this all time, kids get something from grandparents.
Oh, for sure.
that they can, it's not anywhere else in the world.
And I don't know if it's because the parents
hadn't got the time to actually spend the time with them.
The grandparents do have the time.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I love staying at man on PayPal.
We've fixed every day.
Yeah, yeah.
Or worked in the garden.
And it's like you said.
Well, no, no, because all I remember is the love
that my parents showed each other.
Okay, because I feel so sorry for kids
said don't have a mom and dad because my father never left the house that he didn't kiss
mama by.
Never left the house.
Because Mama was reminding if he got in a hurry like he was going, you know, I had to go to work.
He'd be getting in the cross-up.
She said, James, you forget something?
Here he comes.
Yes, ma'am, I did.
Mama had his boyfriend on him too.
Yeah, I did forget.
He'd run back and give her a kiss.
Okay.
But I mean, that's what the kids are missing today, though.
Yeah.
Okay, like you was talking about,
I know good and well just when you say about your papa.
Yeah.
That one more wanted to cook the meal every day his life.
Every day.
My father, I remember him and she gets,
Mama gets so mad every once in a while.
All dad had to do was,
he'd shake that glass and, hey,
mom's, mom standing beside and pour it for a tea.
and every time she'd catch it
and make her so mad
James, I'm gonna knock you
I'm gonna knock your head off
and hey, all they do is shake that glass
she'd feel that tea glass out
Mark Martin's gonna try that tonight
when it gets on.
Let's see what Britney does.
Let's tell you what Brittany gonna say.
I wish you quit making all that racket.
That wouldn't work for my house.
Tell me, hey, you nervous or something,
she'd say, what's wrong with your cup?
Something wrong with your hand?
It's just the opposite of my house.
My wife said, go in there and fix me a glass
of water.
You know what I do?
Yeah, but hey.
I go fix a glass of water.
Here's the thing.
Hey, that works for you and then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all the matters.
If it works for you, I'm a more priority.
Oh, it works just fine.
Yeah.
I'm just, I'm serious, you know.
There's, yeah.
It works just fine.
It works just fine.
Not a thing I'd change.
Get you on.
Oh, no.
Get her a bottle.
Oh, man.
Golly.
Well, that's awesome.
Let's take our next break.
We'll be back right after this.
Oh, my grandma was so funny.
She's hard.
I didn't tell you she whooped me all the time.
Love to fish.
Love to hunt.
Hunting deer all the way up until she couldn't no more.
Until she was 84, I think.
It was the last year she killed a deer.
But would not go to town without doing her hair
and her makeup in case she ran into somebody.
Okay, she saw somebody she knew.
Now, we go stay at the camp for a week and shower twice, you know.
But if she was going to town, buddy, she had that perm, high and tight, had that perfume
on, had her makeup, because she may run into, she may see somebody she knows.
Does she always have the rollers in her hair when you'd go over?
No, she got it, she got it showing up just permed at the lady next door was a hairdresser.
So she just walked across the pasture to the hairdresser and get her hair,
and you wouldn't ever go to sit she wasn't no old white-headed granny she she kept that mess
colored till the day she died she kept that mess colored light brown she was funny but i'm talking
about hard as nails i'm just as tough you know any of my friends growing up she toad it around
a remington 11-hunter shotgun with a 28-inch full barrel on it that's what she deer hunted with
that's what she squirrel hunted with it didn't matter that old woman had that shotgun and buddy
if she ever drew down on you you go ahead and add that one to the pot
they didn't nothing get away from memo she was a weird squirrel hunter though she's
one of them squirrel hunters just sit there she find her a beech tree or hickery tree or
something and she let them come to her she'd squirrel hunt till ten o'clock in the
morning just sit on the ground waiting for them to come eat walk boy but she made some good
squirrel and gravy man alive I miss that woman squirrel engraving so you'd like
that I ain't no doubt about it.
We don't got down just talking about mamas and grandmamas and
I'll show you that.
And then there's this guy.
Look like Ghostbusters.
What is it?
Picture of Jason.
Is that Jace?
In his bat.
Hazmat suit.
Hasmat suit.
They had a bunch of bats to send on him.
He's trying to shoe him out the front door.
But he's wearing like a sheet.
And he's got a tennis racket.
When was this?
Yesterday.
Yesterday?
Oh, Mother's Day?
Yeah.
Oh, Lord.
Have mercy.
Of course, everybody's going.
He's the only one there.
There's bats in his house?
Oh, yeah.
He said there was about 20 of them flying around in circles.
20 bats.
And he got all the doors open.
He's got a leaf blower trying to get him out of there.
The ducks.
He said, well, you take it to help if I let my dog in here.
You think he could get him out of there?
Yeah, I'm like, you know, yeah, get old biggin in here, big old yellow lab.
But he's wired.
Stuff like this always happens.
If somebody needs to film that, though.
Are the bats still in his house?
Oh, yeah.
He can't get him out.
I didn't know he had a bat problem here.
Be like Ghostbusters.
Call the Bat Patrol boys.
Who you going to call?
That's about Batman.
Call Batman Robin and see what they do with him.
he'll be talking about that for the next three weeks
oh and here's one thing I'll tell you
that every time he tells that story
he's going to get a little more dangerous
there's going to be more bad
oh I had one light right there on my shoulder
and you know I had
they're going to be 10 pounders too
the biggest bats you've ever seen
I wonder where he gets that from
I can't imagine uh oh
look at the man over
I got him shaking his head
we're guessing you
no I never did really
until people get to talk about me and Jason.
I said, well, you know, I lived in Junction City up there
where Phil was teaching school, you know,
and we kept Jason when he was a baby a lot on weekends.
You know, because Kay, you know, did the break.
So that's why he's, you know, and plus I, you know,
Phil had told me, you know, Kay's in the hospital.
I was there and she said, hey, go find your brother
and find out what he wants to call this boy.
Wait, hold on.
So Kay's in the hospital
of having a kid and you're the only Robertson name.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Is that a true story?
No, that's true story.
Willie tells a lot of it.
Very believable.
No, no.
Where was Phil?
Phil was on the Red River fishing.
We're putting out nests and trot lines.
Okay, trying to make a living.
100 people.
Okay.
So look, I walk up on the levee, you know, walk up,
get on the cliff.
He's down there at the boat,
and I said, hey, he said, what?
I said, Kay wants to know what you want to know.
What are going to know?
name is child y'all have it you know and he said what you don't mean to do about it i done my part
y'all y'all i said hey you woman asked you what the name's a child and the child has been born
oh yeah you know and and feel look said hey i ain't that's how i fool of you name him after you
you know so i come back and tell kay i said kay you're not going to believe it and she said what
i said your husband said name him after me
and she's staking she'll okay
okay you know
Jason
Silas Robinson
okay
that's he's gonna be his name
I said he's marked for life
Kay
okay
hold up
and he literally was
oh man
Willie tells that story
that the same story
and that's how Willie got his name
you had to go down to the river
and ask Phil what to name Willie
No, it was Jason.
It was...
Willie Dunn's started blowing smoke worse than I am.
Oh, I love that.
That's hysterical.
Yeah, I've heard that story 100 times, but it always ends with...
Hey, Alder Robertson's a pretty good storytellers.
Oh, I guarantee you.
Jayce ain't got no bugs on him.
He can tell the story now.
Y'all all tell them the same story, though, and just inserting your own name.
Well, just put whatever name you want on it.
I'm going to be honest.
I think this version's the one I'm going with.
Yeah.
He was there.
He was in charge of naming somebody.
I mean, Silas.
Hey, I was with Miss Kay and Phil Robertson on their first date.
I was their chaperone.
You were younger than them.
I know.
We're sitting at the stupid, can't even think of the joint's name now
before everybody hanged out of school.
Yeah.
And look, I'm in the back seat of Kay's car.
You know, Phil's driving and Kay sitting beside him.
I walk up and said, who's that in the back seat?
You know, Phil?
He said, oh, it ain't nobody besides.
Don't worry about it.
Because I went out where they went.
I'm serious.
And you're still lost.
I'm still with them.
Still.
Phil tells the story of how he, when he hired Side to make the reeds,
How long ago was that, Si?
What year was that?
Do you remember?
93 is one on the shoulder.
1993.
He said he called up, Cy, and Cy is wrong.
Say, yep.
Phil says, I need you to get down here and make these reeds.
The only thing you have to do is get up and go.
You got one requirement.
One requirement.
You get up and you go duck hunting every day during duck season.
So I said, I'll be there tomorrow.
This was the craziest thing.
this is a Friday afternoon okay my wife's working she works for the government I'm working in
a deadbeat job so we're both sick you were the assistant to the greenskeeper one oh yeah no he
yeah anyway he was a deadbeat job so look this is Friday she comes home okay and when I married her
we come down here to Louisiana okay stay with field and Kay for a while till we you know got a
job and got away finally.
But when we left,
then she said, hey, I'll never come back to Louisiana ever again.
Yeah.
So she said this my whole marriage life.
I'll never go back to Louisiana.
She said that after she lived with Phil.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So, hey, look, you know, Friday afternoon,
she comes home and, you know,
and soon she walks in, we sit down and, you know,
we get to talk about what's going on.
She says, you know what you need.
need to do?
Y'all and I'm looking.
I said, what are you talking about?
She said, you need to go to Louisiana
and work for your brother.
Well, I literally got on the phone
and called Tracea Leight and said,
hey, I'm pretty sure your mom's dying.
I'm serious.
It's a serious.
I said, I think your mom's dying.
And Trachson said, what are you talking about?
I said, well, she just told me I need to go work
for my brother and we're going to move
back to Louisiana.
And Tracer says, yeah, I think she's dying.
So me and Trace's both things she's dying.
Okay, so look, this is Friday.
Saturday, okay, I call Phil to find out what's going on,
and he says, hey, you know what you need to do?
And I said, what's that?
He said, I need you to come down here work for me.
You need to put the reads together.
He said, I can't get none of these idiots around here to do it.
They just won't do it.
So he said, I need somebody I can depend on that will sit down
and put the reins together.
Yeah, so that's the way the conference goes.
I say, okay.
I said, well, let me, I got to see if I can sell this place of mine,
and I'll get back with you.
That's Saturday.
Sunday, we go to church, and here's the way the conversation goes with the people at church.
Hey, I'm thinking about moving to Louisiana, but I got to sell my place.
So look, we leave the church building, drive back home, we're eating dinner.
A lady from church pulls up in the yard and says,
you ain't sold your place yet, have you?
And I said, no, darling, we just talked about it today.
She said, I'll buy it.
How much you want for it?
I told her whatever it was, you know, 15,000, whatever, you know.
She said, okay, we'll do paperwork tomorrow.
Yeah.
So look, I look at Chris there, and I said, hey, look, I'm going to pack my stuff,
and I'm going to fields tomorrow morning.
I said, when you get everything ready, okay, I'll come sign the paperwork,
pick you up when you head out.
And that's the way, and look, this, God worked all this out.
I'd say, it's almost like he was meant to be here.
No, no, no, no, no. You got to think about that.
Friday, she says, hey, you need to go to Louisiana and work for your brother.
Saturday, you know, he calls, we talk, and then they tell me, yeah, you need to come to work for me.
You know, Sunday, the house is sold, the farm is sold, and hey, I just, yeah, babe, I'm leaving in the morning,
you know, I'm going to Phil's house, you know.
As soon as you get our thing ready to go, I'll be back on the side and pick you up.
All right.
The rest of it's history.
And Phil Pot has never been the son.
Hey, Phil Potter has never been the same.
And hey, I put Russ Monroe on the mouth.
Got it.
Mic drop.
That sounds like a good time to take a break right there.
Let's take another break.
We'll be back right after this.
All right, we're back.
He's having good tea boys.
He's belching.
Johnny D.
What's up, Martin?
What's been happening?
in the world.
Anything interesting?
Saad, did you watch the Kentucky Derby?
Nope, I didn't.
I always get excited about the Kentucky Derby
and then I found out that it ends before I can watch it.
It's very quick.
You have to really be in tuned
with horse racing.
Well, what happened with the Kentucky Derby?
The winner.
What about the winner?
Tested positive for steroids.
Not the jockey.
Yeah, not the jockey.
The horse.
I have a fix say.
The jockey tested positive.
Who cares?
But it was the horse.
Oh, it was a horse?
The actual runner.
Medina Spirit.
Oh, I, hey.
Medina Spirit.
What a name.
But yeah.
But he tested positive for steroids.
So now I don't know.
Was he denied his...
I don't know.
He could be disqualified.
Do you think...
Here's the question.
Should horses be disqualified for horse sterilized?
Well, of course.
No.
What do you mean?
No.
That horse didn't inject.
himself that's not the horse's fault that was that was hey he tested positive for steroids but it's
not the horse's fault don't take the title from the horse take it from the man do you think those
steroids might have altered the outcome uh not really i don't know how did nope not really is the horse
just like jacked is it a super big horse do you think those steroids made that horse right they trained that
horse okay and put him in a weight room and he lifted weights and he worked out you know
and then he won the Kentucky Derby thank you give me a break hey so you're saying
it's a drug okay look hey the guy that come up with this was a drug dealer and he's a bad
person oh no he's a bad person and he's sitting there thinking okay how can I make this where it will
I can sell more of it
And he comes up with a, he has a brainstorm and it was a good one because he said,
oh, I'm not going to sell you drugs anymore.
This is a performance enhancement thing I'm selling you now.
For horses.
Hey, no, no for people too.
Okay.
Hey, you have the biggest bunch of bull.
All right, kid, I don't do drugs.
So, I just got a note.
Hey, disqualify the sucker.
The human, not the horse.
Well, disqualify both of them.
The horse is, the human's in trouble.
That's right.
The horse didn't have nothing to do it.
The horse, wrong place for old time.
The horse, wrong place, wrong time.
All right, you want to hear what else is happening?
Well, that's a plausible deniability.
That's what that is.
But the horse, the horse's argument is easy.
I don't have thumbs.
How am I going to work a needle?
You just put it in the wall and I back up to it?
All right, Sam.
Moving on from the horse, check this out.
I'm showing sigh a video.
There is a tiger on the loose in Houston, Texas.
In Texas?
Yes, in Texas.
In Texas.
Everything's bigger than Texas, boys.
But there's tigers.
We've got tigers loose in the...
Running around...
In Houston neighborhood.
And I think that proves that Black Panthers are real.
Here, kitty, kitty.
I think...
Look.
Because you wouldn't...
You would say there's no tigers in Houston.
That's right.
Here's a tiger.
Here's a tiger in Houston.
The whole neighborhood's up in arms about it, too.
And there's video of it.
It is.
Correct?
Yep.
Where's the video of your Black Panther?
Where's video of your Black Panther?
Oh, they've got pictures of them now.
Thank you.
Okay.
And I want this to be made clear since we're back on this.
I believe.
Back on it again.
Hey, that tiger is beautiful.
My argument is never been that there aren't black cats.
We obviously know there are black cats that exist in the world.
Jag wars.
My argument.
is there is no black
mountain line that roams
freely in North Louisiana
But you would have said the same thing about a
Bingle Tiger in Houston. Did he roam freely?
Yes. For how long?
Until his owner put him back on the
station, took him back in the cage. When those
things come up missing, somebody's
looking for him. Like, oh, crap,
my tiger got out. Like,
we got to get us a tiger.
I mean, you know. Well, you're saying a black
pants that don't exist, and I went to the
Seminole Indians, and they had a
big cat in a cage
and on above the
door was the word
black panther, yet
hey, he wasn't black, he was
the color of that hat out there.
But they had black panther
and he was pretty. He was a little
old young thing weighed about
oh, 125, 135, 130, maybe
150.
So I don't hear that black panther crap
okay. They are
alive and well out there in the woods
boys. Yes, they are. And the tigers
are alive and well in the neighborhoods
and the suburbs of the future. And there's a bunch of them that live
wild in India. Look at this thing.
It's a big tiger.
Did they say his name? 800-pounder.
What? Did they say his name?
The tiger's name? Tony.
Was it really?
No.
His name is Rufus.
So the video, the tiger,
I mean, I would poop my pants if I was in my
neighborhood and saw this thing because it's huge.
And then everybody's freaking out.
There's guns involved.
And then some guys like, hold on everybody, and just goes and puts them on a leash and walks them back into his house.
Come here, snowball.
Yeah.
So, come here, kitty, kitty.
Made me super nervous just thinking about tigers on the loose.
But we should get you a Black Panther as a pet.
I know.
I would not have to have one.
Wow.
Somebody listening is going to have to make that happen.
I wouldn't do it because, say, I know you don't make pets out of wild animals.
This is true.
Because you never know when they're going to.
going to go wild on you.
Yeah.
I was going to make a pet out of a wild animal.
It would be a turtle.
Yeah, I feel pretty safe.
And even they'll bite you.
Yeah, they'll bite you.
He ain't going to kill you.
I had four turtles when I was a kid.
Yeah.
Cats corals make a good pet.
He bites you too.
Oh, and he'll bite you too.
Because I had one.
Yes.
And I literally, I was paralyzed for just a succulent.
All right.
And then I got one more story.
Good News from Alta.
Alton, Illinois.
A young man who was in a program, he has autism,
but he was working at Snooks grocery store.
Snooks.
His name is Ben Mazur.
He's 24 years old.
He's working, putting all the carts back.
And all the grocery stores on a hill,
there is a baby in a cart going down the hill.
Uh-oh.
Towards traffic.
Not good.
We're all right.
Ben Mazur takes off running,
saves the baby, saves the baby's life.
And now, if you're from Alton, Missouri,
Every May 5th is now known as Ben Mazur Day.
That's awesome.
That's cool.
That's good.
That's our good news for the day.
Ben, we salute you, son.
That's it.
Hey, good work.
Spring it into action.
There's a lot of stories.
I didn't know there was this many stories of people just springing into action to save children.
Yeah.
I kind of want to read one of these every podcast we got.
Yeah, I agree.
But between horse cheating, tigers of Roman Houston, and people just saving the day.
And Ben saving the day.
That's what the internet's all.
about today,
on the day that we're filming this.
Well, at least, hey, at least
it's good stuff.
Is the horse cheating good stuff?
Well, the horse cheating, no,
there was a man involved in that.
Okay, it wasn't
the horse's fault.
Martin is right.
Martin is right about that, but he's still
disqualified. And going back to the
other story, not only did he save the baby,
he actually went to work.
Now, that's an American hero.
And that's something these days.
My man said it's time to go to work.
Hey, if you don't go to work, you can't have a day.
That's right.
You won't be able to save the baby if you don't go to work.
That's right.
Strong points, though.
All right, let's take one final break.
And we're going to come back and get in that mailbox.
Hello at duckhallroom.com.
That's it.
Slash.
Dot.
Duck.
Slash dot duck.
And we're back, ladies and gentlemen.
Look, it's time for probably arguably our favorite part of the week.
We're in the hello at.
dot callroom.com inbox, but first...
Hello at dot callroom.com.
Stone got a package.
I'm going to let Stone since it's just for him.
I'm going to let Stone do a little thank you
to the man that sent him a bunch of crappy jig.
So, Stone?
Well, I got something in the mail.
I guess old Randall from Tennessee felt sorry for me
because everybody else getting stuff except me.
And I got the jackpot of all gifts, I think.
Now, Randall from Tennessee,
sent me some hand-tied croppy jigs.
Hand-tied.
Let me see.
The hand-tied?
Hand-tied.
You'll never see them again.
Yep, those are now size.
And that was actually a good color.
Now, I know this is a great gift because I used to dabble in this.
In jig-tie?
In tie-in-jigs.
Yeah, I did, too.
And it's not easy.
And you've got to have some patience.
The lip-bum.
I was looking at them.
He tied some good stuff.
White.
That meribou?
Why, it was a pink head.
Hey, that pink and white is a good color on.
They'll bite that.
That was almost bad.
Almost real bad.
What?
In the coffee?
Yeah.
That had been size, second one in as many weeks.
And there are also maribou.
Maribou boys.
Which I know they work.
Yeah.
The thing about a maribu is you don't have to jig it.
You just hold it.
And that maribu does all the jigging for you.
It's like a Hawaiian hula dancer.
That's it.
It's real.
subtle and those copies they can't stand that's right so randall thank you sir i appreciate that and i
will put them to use we will put them to use i'll be there with him in a very near future

You heard it first here, boys.
Do you smell what stone's cooking?
I wish.
That's true.
I'd love to smell a big old brisket right about now.
That would be good.
Is that a big tenderloin?
That's a 24-hour process at risk of making.
Well, I'll see tomorrow about four.
So the man that asked the question hadn't given us an answer.
I see because that's tough because I like,
Frozen's a good movie,
but my wife,
she kind of got a snow white look about her.
No, snow white.
And that's like,
when she goes Halloween,
she got a snow white costume,
so I kind of have to say snow white.
But I'm going to cheat and say,
Princess Leia.
What?
That's Disney now.
It is.
Princess Leia's got to be way cooler than Cinderella.
I like I just said straight,
Minnie Mouse.
I love it.
Mini Mouse.
You used to look like a little mermaid guy.
She's trying to marry Mickey Mouse.
Oh, yeah. Why wouldn't you choose a little mermaid?
You're married to her redhead?
Thank you.
Look.
I had to put up with that mermaid, so, hey, I don't want to hear it.
Been putting up it wasn't your whole life, huh?
Yeah, I'm putting it out.
So I'm going with Princess Leia and Snow White.
Princess Laya and Snow White.
Princess has got to be a Disney princess at this point, right?
I said, princesses in her name.
Minnie Mouse wants to marry's, what is it?
Mickey?
No, not Mickey.
Mighty Mouse.
Mighty Mouse.
Yeah.
Mickey's stronger cousin.
You want to marry
Mighty Mouse boys.
Mighty Mouse is,
he can fly.
There is a cartoon
Mighty Mouse.
I don't think it's Disney.
No.
I think it's like one of them.
But they may all be the same people now.
That may be Disney's problem.
Well, if your size age,
Mighty Mouse was really good.
Hey, he was a bad dude, boys.
Did you ever watch Underdog?
Yep.
Boom, boom, bum, bum, bum, boom.
My kids love Underdoll
dog just the song i don't know how to watch it i like the droopy dog i love droopy cartoon no no no no that's the one
and when you said the underdog that's who i saw droopy dog yeah you didn't see underdog yeah
underdog was good too i have no need to fear droopy ears boys all right johnny he was a deputy
what what bible verse you got us hey let's go with one that's kind of about mothers but kind of about
the good lord Isaiah 49 14 through 16 i think we can all agree we all
all have great mothers, grandmothers in this room.
Amen.
Helped raise all of us.
And we talked about that today.
But let me read this one for you real quick.
But Zion said, the Lord has forsaken me.
My Lord has forgotten me.
And then verse 15, can a woman forget her nursing child that she should have no compassion
on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palm of my hands.
Your walls are continually before me.
even a great mom
ain't as good as God
that's pretty cool
I can dig it
but she is a gift from God
she's a gift from God but she ain't as good
and she's finer than any jewel
ain't she say
she's more precious than the most precious
jewel
amen
moms we thank you we love you
we salute you that's right
And in the words of Silas, we love you.
We're out.
We'll see y'all next week.
