Welcome back to the Duck Call Room, ladies and gentlemen. We are back. We have nobody here because everybody's busy. It's summertime vacations are going. But you got us three. I know y'all missed us on the last one with our buddy John Christ, but you know the boss come in and handled our light work so that's good hunter did they make fun of us while we were i mean like the tiniest bit yeah see that was a

tiny chris made fun of y'all way more then yeah that's fine yeah john but john's a comedian so he should and what did he say about us we're low-hanging fruit uh that y'all wouldn't let him talk about his men-in-night heritage i've actually supported that very much that could have been a joke Yeah, did he talk about his new web series, Springfield First at all? Not once. What? I was kind of disappointed in that. Man, if you are listening to this and you ain't saying, if you're not on Instagram,

you need to be because you need to go watch his little mini series on Springfield First. That's good is good where he makes fun of. Is that what you do on Instagram? What? Makes a lot of people? No. No. Watch that thing.

Yeah. Boy, he's wearing that shirt. By the way, what is that shirt? and why is it awesome? It's the red, white and blue is all I like to eat. Is it a tuxedo shirt? No. No, I'll short sleep.

I know, but is it supposed to be like a suit? Hey, I don't know. Somebody sent it, and I, he said, I wish you'd wear it on the podcast, so. And there you go. Hey, America's going to be too. It's that simple. What? You send size something, he'll wear it.

Especially for the semi-Quentinentennial. As long as it's, as long as it's comfortable, he'll wear it. That's for sure. And this is comfortable. I do have an update. Look, I was just in Lower Alabama. I had to drive over and work with my folks at Real Tree, pick up a new truck. But while I was there, I went fishing with my buddy, D.C.

He's been on here for Dustin Connell. So I get off at his exit to go to his house to meet him to go fishing. You know what they got, Johnny D? Ashonies. They had Ashonies. Where does he live? Clanton, Alabama, baby. Clanton, Alabama.

off of Interstate 65 has got a shoneys. So for anybody looking for one, my hours of which I was there just did not line up for me to enjoy a fine meal at the shonies. But I will say Friday and Saturday night are steak and seafood buffet. Well, you know what? I drove past this weekend.

What? A Western sizzling. No. What? I saw a billboard. It said on the right. The billboard was on the right. It said a head on left,

Western Zisland. I wasn't driving, however. And Allison just kept going. She kept zipping, huh? It was somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas. Okay. Somewhere between Conway and Yaleville. There it is.

It was the western sizzling below Clinton, Arkansas. Okay. Clinton, Arkansas. That's interesting. See, because I would consider us a small town and ours are going. No, we're not a small town anymore. We're not? I've discovered that we're like, we might as well be New York City.

I think 100 grand ain't small. Was that what we got now, the 100 Gs? Once you add West Monroe and Monroe together, we're from the big city. Really? Have you ever been to Yaleville, Arkansas? Never heard of it.

Have I driven through it? I don't. Beats me. Where is it? Somewhere by the Buffalo River. Oh. We asked our little driver that was taken. We recently floated the river for the kids.

The kids wanted to do that. Oh, to Buffalo? Oh, yeah. How was that? Did y'all catch any? We didn't fish. He didn't fish. You on a tackle shop and you didn't fish?

I was paddling five other human beings up a river. How am I? supposed to accomplish fishing. Oh, y'all was canoeing on the buffalo? Well, it was too high to canoe, and it was for experience floaters only, so I was like, well, we're not that. Turns out, I think I am, because I could have canoed that just fine. Y'all floated just fine?

Oh, yeah. We had like a giant raft. Oh, okay. And I don't know if you've met my children. Not a lot of help. Yeah. So I'm... Well, Ben's ain't tall enough to see over the edge of the raft if it's one of biggins.

Yeah, so I'm by myself. Yeah. So I was like, I'm not even going to try him to do it. Was it rough? No. Was it water cold? Yeah. But then we asked our little driver who takes us up.

We're like, well, what do you got to eat up here? He's like, well, there's three restaurants. Yeah, we had the pizza place last night. And he was like, big news. Forgot about that one. There's four restaurants. Okay. How was the pizza place?

Good. Good? Solid pizza. Okay. Can't complain. They had a Mexican place and two barbecue places. Okay. And when I tell y'all that we went to this barbecue place called

the Black Sheep Barbecue in Yaleville, Arkansas. Yeah. It's worth driving there. Really? I got a hamburger. It was two smash burgers with brisket between the smash burgers. Oh. Yeah.

Brisket between two burgers? Did I not send you the picture? You did, but I missed the brisket. Oh, there's brisket in between. I just saw the hamburger in like, was it cater to-todged or something? Those were french fries. French fries? Oh, yeah.

I'm just trying to go off memory here. Look at it. I'll zoom in on it for you. That's brisket all in. And that place was fire. They're just in population, like, maybe 72. Did you get it to go? Did you go back?

Or were y'all just like that? No, it was last night. Carter ate a whole rack of ribs. Okay. We had to wheel that boy out of there. Okay. Ice cream? No, they had cheesecake.

Also, phenomenal. I'm going to leave them a yelp. I'm going to Google review them. While I'm thinking about it. But, yeah, if you're ever in Yale, Elville, Arkansas, highly recommended, cool vibe. They had gun smoke on the TV. But there you go.

You would have loved it. So I said, that passes my test. I had a barbecue and a gun smoke. Right there. Look, hey, and I ate in Auburn, Alabama at one of my favorite places. It's a definite stop if you're in Auburn. A place called Bow and Arrow. It's barbecue.

I never heard of it. Buddy. But just if you go to Auburn, go to Bowenero, it's so good. I'm sad that I'm six and a half hours. way from it. That's how sad I Black sheep barbecue. Yeah, there again. Black Sheet Barbecue and Bowen Arrow. There you go. That's the, I can sign off on Bowen Arrow 10010%. It is so good, man.

The burger was called the whole cow. Well, that makes sense because you got his booty in the ground round and you got his chest in the brisket. So that checks out. That's all of him. Carter said five stars for the ribs. Five stars. Ben's ate fish. They had fried cat fish. He gave five stars. Everybody was very happy. What'd your wife eat? She,

they're fried okra. You know how most, you go get fried okra and we all know what it is. It's the same bag of oked, like hicked sweet or whatever. This was, they did it themselves. It was another level somewhere.

Okay. It was so good. What was it battered in? You remember? Like cornmeal or flour? But it was good. Yeah. That's what I remember.

I love ochre. I was looking at mom's ochre plants in a garden this morning, man. Suckers about knee high. You like okra? Oh, yes, I ate ochre. Gobbins one that hates ochre around here. He says it. Yeah, it has to be illegal to grow it.

Yeah, and ought to be illegal to grow it for whatever reason. I don't know why. That's one of the things that one field cooked, what? Gumbo. Gumbo. Every time he had, you know, he cooked a big pot of it. Hey, he'd break out a bag of frozen ochre. Yeah.

Throwing it. Throwing it every time. I'm just a believer. You don't have gumbo unless it's, got ochre in it. I'm a firm believer in that. That's what makes a good government. It is good.

It is okra. Yeah, that's kind of our travels. I played in a golf tournament for first time since last year. That was fun. Well, I meant that, talking about that. I meant to tell him, he ought to plant some ochre down there on the place for duck feed. Huh? How are you going to feed ducks, okra?

Just go eat at yourself. Well, hey, no, no. Do you just get ducks because we had a, we had a guy in it, and he's poor. we used to live in Dixie. He had a lake that dried up every year. Yeah. He disked up and planted

ochre there. Yeah. And it come up and then all that it got ripe and then he flooded it. And you're talking about wearing some ducks out on. Really? You wear me out too. If I knew there was a free range ochre patch

I could go get some. Well, hey, oh, it's about what, probably 30 acres? Of okra? Of okra. Oh, no, there's a lake down. and then, you know, the rain filled it up, and, hey, the ducks got on it. Man, if I'd have stumbled across that, good Lord. We got one row of ochre, and I, well, by the time it gets done.

That stuff produces, though, is real. But the cool part about ochre is when the rest of your garden burns up, the ochre really just takes off. Like, the hotter it gets, the more it loves. Better it's gold. Yeah, heck yeah, man. It's so good. Then we went to Forest Frank. Forest Frank, how was that?

How was High Forest? Oh. He's good? Boy, puts on a phenomenal show slash worship slash, I don't even know what to call it. Yeah, that's good. It's all the, it's like you go to church, but you also get to dance a little. Yeah. And just have a good time.

But I'd never been to like a major Christian concert like that before. And I don't know that there are that many of those. I still never have, yeah. Yeah, like a, but. Where was it? Wait, wait, who's you going to see? Forest Frank. Have you ever heard of him?

Oh. He sings really catchy tunes about Jesus. And the kids love him. My wife loves him. You know what? I'm going to be honest. If it comes on, I ain't changing the channel because it's so much fun. I wasn't saying mercy me.

I can't thank you all the ones. Okay, so here's my question. Were they selling alcohol all outside the stadium? Oh, yeah. No, inside, you could bring your own beer. You had beers. So I didn't really expect that. walk in and there's just,

there's no lines to get the beer. Oh, yeah, nobody wants to be the one called Drake in that. And I go to the bathroom. And there's this guy that goes, best part about this concert, the beer line's so short. He's just at Forest Frank.

And then another guy goes, yeah, brother, a lot of Baptist in here tonight. You ask them what they were then? No, I'm giggling at the urinal. Because I'm just, I'm just cracking up. laughing that this is the conversation that I'm somehow right beside. Look, I remember going to our first appointment when we had the positive pregnancy test

and Brittany getting the ultrasound. And I heard the heartbeat. That is when it became real for me. And when an unexpected pregnancy happens, a lot of dads are left feeling overwhelmed. I was like just sitting there supporting my wife, but I was overwhelmed. I was unsure. I was wondering if I was ready for fatherhood. But that's exactly how John felt.

He had questions like, can I do this? and can I actually be a good dad? But after connecting with pre-born, everything started to feel more real and full of possibility. Pre-born provides parents with free ultrasounds and connects them with support, encouragement and resources. They're given encouragement.

They're given all the things to help them choose life right there. Two gives you confidence moving forward that you can do it. And, you know, everybody in this room is pro-life, right? We are all pro-life because that's what the Bible says we should be. And that's why we support pre-being. Preborn, Preborn provides free ultrasounds to women in need and so much more counseling for two years, diapers, maternity clothes, and the hope of the gospel all for free. Today you can help another father and mother experience that same moment of hope.

He's like, yeah, man, every time I come to these, I'm the only person in the beer line, but then they start asking you to give money them kids. My kids were like, sponsor this kid.

He's like, I'm still sponsoring a kid from Dude Perfect. But I sponsored another one anyway. Well, good for him, man. Yeah, he had a lot of high noons. That's good. Which is a probably better way to get, we should tell, except if you really want them to sponsor. Oh.

Get them surrounded by children and a little liquored up first. It seemed to help. I don't know how you do that. You may want to rethink that statement. That's right. Yeah. Because I feel like that could go the way wrong way. I feel like I want you to clip that though and I need it.

Yeah, but added to that. And I don't know when we'll use it. Yeah. Anyway, that's a great way. Surrounded by children and a little liquor. Can we explore that a little more? That's what was happening. and they were like, sponsor the kids.

Sponsor the kids. And they looked at me and wanted me to sponsor some kid as like, I got Jephth's kids. There you go. They might even live with Jepta at this point. I can't tell there's so many cars down there. So they just treat it kind of like a D.U banquet. Like you go to these Ducks and limited banquet, Dr. Walsh.

No, I'm saying you want to save the ducks. You get people liquored up. And then with that comes wallet lubrication. And people try to be the most proud person in there. And I don't think that was the play. And I think Simmons Bank Arena was like, You can come here, but we got a bottom line to scratch. How much were there a drink?

I don't. I don't. I bought a $6 water so I can only imagine. Oh, yeah, they probably 12, yeah. I was just curious. I didn't know. Do you know what you just made me realize? What?

The Christian heavy metal concert that I went to, no alcohol, only liquid death. Oh, the canned water. Yeah, the water. Yeah, see, I was the only thing they served. And I was with a pastor buddy of mine, and I was like, boy, I bet the, uh, I bet the beer sales are going to be pretty low tonight for old Simmons bankery. And he goes, one's in the hidden styrofoam cup will be high, though.

He said that. I started laughing. I have to say this. That's why most people, okay, are wrong about God never said anywhere in his word. You can't have alcohol. Yeah. I agree with you. I'm just not sure I'm going to, you know, partake.

Well, most religious people, though, if they see you like, drink a beer, they'll look down. God, they never said that you can't drink, drink a beer or have a glass of wine. No. Matter of fact, it's just the opposite. Oh, my big toe does, though. He tells you, take a little wine for their stomach steak. Yeah.

Now, hey, he don't say over and does in alcohol. Now, he does say that. Don't do that. Yeah, don't get drunk. Yeah, don't get drunk. But hey, y'all, it's okay for you to have a beer. Oh, 100%. Well, see, I did that floating down the Buffalo,

but I ain't going to do that at the forest front. It seems like a weird place, you know. I don't know the rules. Yeah. But the water was great. You slid in a little. It's a smidge of that old church of Christ's legalism. Got you?

Yeah. Yeah, you felt guilty from your roots. I don't know where. You felt guilty from your roots. I get it. But I didn't. But also, I ain't got to have a drink everywhere I go. No, I ain't.

And I'm like, so I'm like, I never even, it just blew my mind. And then I was like, ain't nobody going to be buying that. And then the hilarious conversation in the bathroom. And the urinal, yeah. Was just my favorite part of the whole thing. I'm just glad there was two boys in there that found something they had in common, you know. Short line. Did they have the full refreshments?

Could you get like nachos at it? Oh, I got, I had some chili cheese fries. Yes. There's nothing in the Bible against that. Chili cheese. How much were they, eight bucks? Didn't ask. Just put my phone down.

Captain left. I don't want to know. I walked away. That and like four waters and a monster energy drink. It was enough to. And then we almost got in a wreck. If you're ever in Little Rock leaving a concert, good luck. There was a man asleep in a car.

What was he doing asleep? In the middle of the road. He was in that line. The line was so short. A man couldn't even make it out of the parking lot. So then I'm like, what's going on with him? and then you can't turn. Whoever was in a CRV in Little Rock at the Forest Frank concert,

learn how to drive. Oh. Because they wouldn't move. And then they, then this other car pulls in and then a F-250 slams into it and almost hit me. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I was this close to being stuck in Little Rock.

Wow. Which would have not been great. In Allison's car? Mm-hmm. Oh. Oh. Tough eat. Hit the tundra.

Don't hit that thing. Yeah, tough eat, man. Anyway, that was my weekend. Summed up. Had a great time. And then I accidentally matched my brother-in-law at the concert, which felt stupid. So he was there? Yep.

How many other people? Did you see anybody else he knew? Oh, yeah. A lot of people. Yeah. Going from down here up there. That's the closest force Frank Gister right here. You'll be in Dallas at the end of these summer.

On a scale, you know, on a scale of one or ten, how was the concert? I'm giving it a 10. Yeah. I'm getting it. It ended with Amazing Grace Acapella. And I was like, ha, this is my Q, gang. Yeah. I don't need no instruments.

Then that old church of Christ really got out. You know how good that it'd have been if you'd had like two beers? I actually had no idea, sir. Never sang Amazing Grace with two beers deep at a worship service. I might have sang it a couple times around a campfire. Well, we will at his memorial service. How about that? There you go.

Oh, that's great. Oh, good grief. No, but if you were any, if you have, no, you know what? I was about to say, have kids. If you love Jesus, go see for as Frank, because it is a wonderful time. Yeah. And it's just all positive and fun. That the boys love his music. He got a little vibe going on where he does it and he talks about Jesus, but it's in a fun, it's not in your typical worship music way. It's a little. It's kind of made for kids, really, if you think about it, younger folks.

That's where my sister would slap you because I think she's, it's made for her. No, I don't disagree with that, but it's a way to get kids involved in it. because of the upbeat nature. He knows what he's doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's giving kids positive music, and for that, I'm all about it. Yeah, and it's easy listening for the parents, too. So even if your kids do get obsessed with it, it's not like, you know, kids bop or nothing like that.

Oh, yeah. Way better than kids pop. Hey, man, buddy, that stuff trash. Anyways. My kids got it. Honor, do you listen to KidsBop? You're laughing like you do. No, you just reminded me of my parents.

because they hated it so much. They just got me and my sister on Skillet, like the old Christian band. Skillet was awesome. Yeah, so we listened to like that and Breaking Benjamin. They're like absolutely no kids. A skillet still together.

Yeah, they go unashamed all the time. Gillet does? Yeah. Why don't they come right here? Because they do in video. Oh, they, okay, they loop in. Yeah. We're not.

Have they asked them where they come up with the name Skillet yet? I have no idea. Because I'm interested. But I'm upset that they never ask me to to record those episodes. Yeah. You feel bad, huh?

That's okay. We'll close them loops one day. We are. Also, you know what? Just a PS, a shameless plug for myself. Please go watch Senator John Kennedy's Instagram. Find my comment, like it, and tell him to come on this show, because I'm working hard.

Every time he posts one of his weird new videos, Have you seen them? Uh-uh. Sa, we got to get you an Instagram to do the same thing. What? Oh, watch Senator Kennedy? No, just do it. He just turns a camera around and starts talking about Becky's...

Did you watch that one? Uh-uh. His wife Becky's famous chicken salad? Uh-uh. Funniest thing, you will watch... He likes chicken salad? Oh, he loves chicken salad. Oh, man.

Which makes me kind of have trust issues. Yeah, me and him are going... I thought... But Becky's chicken salads, apparently world famous. And he goes, well, I don't know, but I like it. He goes, and I don't know. give, I don't know why people give a dang about what I'm doing, but my staff tells me to record this. He recorded himself eating chicken salad salad.

No, making a sandwich. A chicken salad sandwich? It's so funny. You haven't seen it? Oh, you got to go look. And please go to my comment. No, I haven't, I haven't been on a lot of social just because I've been driving. I've been in my truck for the past.

Well, the new greatest thing in all social media is John Kennedy's. Instagram. He said, I ain't as smart as all. these other people up here. You can just ask them. So I got to read 35 hours a week. Sigh, there's big news in the world. Okay. This is a good break. You were kind of fired up when we showed up. Yep. I'm going to fire you up even more. What was the big news? Are you ready? Maybe the craziest news I've ever heard. I'm on field and stream magazine.com. Field and stream.com. Okay. There is an initiative in Oregon, sigh, that they

actually may vote on in November. It's called the Peace Act. Peace? The Peace Act. Hey, peace is a good thing. Is this the one about fishing, hunting, and ranching? This thing has

150,000 signatures or something and only needs 117,000 for the people of Oregon to have to vote on it. And it would make hunting, fishing, hurting any animal for any reason illegal.

They're actually going to have to vote on a fishing. And this is a popular vote? Or is this a legislative vote? This is a popular vote, I believe. It will be on the ballot. They've got enough sick. There's enough people in Oregon

trying to make hunting and fishing illegal, punishable by law that they will have to a vote on if they're, now the good news is there's 330,000 licensed hunters in Oregon and 500,000 licensed fishermen. So surely that there will be more votes. But that's the world we live in, Sa.

Look, I've been on road a lot this summer and, you know, and sleeping in a hotel, man, it just ain't it. Hey. My sleep score struggles. But until I get home and I get on that helix sleep match. and that's why we love our Helix sleep mattresses because the proof is in the pudding. We were at that cabin just this weekend and boy, did I not sleep right. But you know what you do?

and crap like this is on. To the fine folks of Oregon. We got your back to the fine folks of Oregon. Yeah. And I will. And for the ones who started the signature. What? If you reside in Portland,

might I offer you a chance to go out to your countryside and tell me which one is better? The outskirts or downtown Portland. I've been to both. One of them is trash. Yeah. That's exactly right. And one of them is arguably one of the most beautiful. beautiful stretches of country I've ever seen in my life.

Oregon is amazing. It's unbelievable. It's set for Portland. And there's a hundred. Portland is garbage. And there's a hundred and twenty five thousand people that are going to make the entire state vote on if not even hunting and fishing. If you're allowed to raise a chicken and chop its head off and eat its thighs,

of which I had two last night, Oregon, and they were delicious. What about? What about like if you raise chickens and you collect their eggs? No, illegal. Is that illegal? It's got to be. That has to hurt the mom. Oh, yeah.

Like the hen chicken because her babies are gone. They're going to send the, I mean, Oregon. See, I'm playing with you, Oregon. Y'all can't be serious. Like, this can't be. That's serious. I know this much. I was planning on going to Oregon duck hunting anyway.

If y'all vote. in November, I guess I'll hit the October season. And I will make a campaign while I'm out there. But there's no way it passes. Our fine folks a heavy shot who's worked with us forever are out of Oregon, man. Hey, there's, you know how many people have jobs that depend on hunting and fishing and loving every day? This ain't even making fun of Luke's new song.

Oh, that's easy to do. Oh, that's bad. It's like Jordan Summit wrote a madly of and handed it. it to Luke and Luke made a song out of it. Oof, huffy. But I say this, you know, everybody says that one's bad. Did y'all hear the one before it? This country and she

knows it one. Oh, that's not very good either. No. I just got one question. Okay. Oregon. Where's your common sense on this? I think common sense will prevail here, but it's scary that there's enough. Did the people that signed

it, did you have to be from Oregon to get So that's 100 and whatever Oregon. They still have to validate all the signatures it looks like. There's still a lot to go. So like, you know, some person from, you know, wherever, Colorado couldn't go sign that petition and make the fine folks of Oregon have to vote on it, right? They could. But yeah, they'll trash.

But it has to be 117 residents of Oregon's signature. Yeah, it's got to be legitimate Oregon residents. Residents. that had to sign it. But I mean, that's crazy. You're not, you're not looking at the economics of this either. But. Have you seen Portland?

They don't care. Hunting, fishing and wildlife. I know, no, because like you said, when you go to the city, it's trash. Yeah. It really is. They just soon everybody be broken homeless. Yeah. Independent.

Heaven forbid the independent. But I just look at, okay, that means I can't go catch a massive cropy. Not an or. And cook me a mess of fish. Not an organ. Or if I want to go out in the woods and kill me eight squirrel. You know what? I'm not even going to worry about it because I think the fine folks of the Oregon

countryside will band together and this will never be anything. That's what I'm hoping for. Well, I hope that. But it's a travesty that it even could make it potentially to a ballot. Well, see, what scares me about this is how this popped up, how it come into being. Because I'm looking at it economically, it's not going to help your, your cities or your country. No.

Common sense wise, hey, it's, you know, you're taking food that I love to catch any. Well, forget,

yeah, I mean, if you're wondering to know where the money comes from that takes care of that wildlife for the people that signed. Yeah,

if it wasn't be for the hunters and fishermen. It wasn't for the license sales, then all this wildlife that you think you're protecting is about to go grossly underserved. Yeah. So.

Because hunting, that's why I was saying this. Economically, you're killing yourself. I'm going to read that sentence. Yeah. And then common sense-wise, you're killing you. How much money they bring in hunting and fishing licenses in Oregon. It doesn't have that.

But hunting fishing and wildlife watching activities account for $1.2 billion in spending and over 11,000 jobs. And all that has sales tax. That's your economy, folks. In that state. Oregon, yeah. All right. That's your economy we're talking about here.

a billion dollars? Yeah, 1.2 billion. That's a billion dollars. Yeah. What do you think you got? Chelsea Clinton? Also, that library looks pretty cool. You might want to think about this again. No, there's no way. But it's, but now we're to the point where we have to bring it up.

We actually, it's almost like we have to make sure, we shouldn't be in a world where we have to make sure we're still allowed to fish or hunt or raise chickens. Or, or raised goats. I just look at a couple

of lines in the Constitution. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And you know what made your brother happy? You're fooling with that and hey, when you are you've just found you went on the fighting side of me. Y'all heard it here. Okay? Because

you're messing with my life, you're messing with my liberty, and you're messing with my pursuit of happiness. He said he's going to get him fired up. I thought this might because you know what makes... And you wonder why I'm mad? When I can't go fishing, I can't go hunting. And nobody can have race.

We don't have cows. You people are ignorant. Sorry about that, but hey, that's just my opinion on you. Do we know who started the petition? No, I just want to go back to the pursuit of happiness real quick because you know it made your brother feel real happy? Yeah. To blow it.

or Mallard Drake's head slam off. At 20 yards. And he liked to do it every day of his life. If it was a season every day, he would hunt every day. That'd be 365 if it was open. I got a really good friend who's from Oregon. Well, Matt from Oregon emailed in and said, if y'all could just help some Oregon out.

Hey, I got a question to ask you, okay? I will come to Oregon if it came down to it. Back in the day. the pioneers were one that made the Oregon trail treks. Well, they didn't, they just ate grass the whole way up and back. Yeah. They didn't hunt or fish. But hey, what happened to all you?

The people that made this petition died from dysentery. For sure. Guaranteed. Because they were too afraid to shoot the buffalo. Uh-huh. And now those people, they did shoot too many buffalo. We had to dial that back. But if they played the game, they died from dysentery.

They died from being a little pansy. They poop themselves to death. Is that what dysentery is? Uh-huh. Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. What's the three things about, hey, first be slow to speak.

Quick to listen, yeah. Quick to listen. Quick to listen. Slow to listen. Slow to speak. Slow to speak. Then what's the third one? Slow to anger.

Right? That'd be a good one. But, hey. Oregon. You need, hey, before you get involved in this, you better think about it. it a while. Better change your team's name too.

You better think about it a while. Imagine how many ducks are hurt by that. Do a little research on it, yo. You're going to lose a billion dollars. Y'all, I tell you it's going to affect your economy. I would, okay, but here's the, there's no way it passes, right?

No, I wouldn't say that. That's what scares me. Yeah, that's scary. That's what's scary about it. We have to make sure, as human beings, crazy stuff like that doesn't happen. happen. But, I mean, I would legitimately have to move. How sad would you be if you lived in Oregon and that happened? Because, I mean, I pack up my bags. Why, I'm leaving. Not only do I not have a job, I'm hungry. If they outlaw it, if they outlaw it. If they outlaw. Yeah. If they pass it. If they pass. Yeah. The people, the game wardens, for example, that protect all of Oregon's wildlife, they're out of a job. Yep. They're gone. They're gone. The, the part

shut down, all this stuff's gone. Yep. Nobody to protect it. We're going hunting in Oregon. Because who's going to stop us? There ain't going to be nobody there. You don't want to go smash. You go catch them. Like, who's going to stop you?

No, no, no. They're going to be underfunded and understaffing. No, no, I mean, he's right. As long as you're not a moron, you can go get whatever you want out of the state of Oregon. At that point, that's what I'm saying. So yeah, let it go. And I'm coming to a border near you, buddy. Because you're going to turn the people that this is part of their life.

Yeah. You're going to turn them into outlaws. Oh, yeah. They're still going to do it. Oh, yeah. And then somebody's going to get hurt. Yeah, then somebody's going to get killed. Yeah.

He went the first way. You can even go, well, hurt or killed. Oh, I mean, it'll happen. Yeah. So, yo, you're opening Pandora's box here. And you have no idea what you're unleashing when you do that. Oh, look, I was on the road the other day in South Alabama, and I look up and there's this big storm brewing sun. And I'm in a brand new truck and I'm just driving down the road.

And next thing I know, I look up and half of a tree is just coming out of the side of interstate right in front of me. And I'm like, oh, buddy. Lucky for me, I looked in the left lane.

does that not hurt it? Well, I draw the line somewhere between rabbits and horses. At some level, so then what are you going to eat? What do you mean? Where do I draw the line? I'm not going to eat a dog.

I will eat a goat if I'm forced to. Don't really like it. That goat ain't terrible. And on my top. Like a lamb. Have you ever seen that billboard? Oh, yeah. Where do you draw the line?

Somewhere around here. Right about there is pretty obvious. I always go meat eaters and vegetarians. They say you're killing animals to eat. to eat. Well, hey, when you pull a carrot up out of the ground, you just killed it. Yeah, he's gone.

That's what I'm saying. Okay, and if you don't believe that, hey, throw it over on the ground and come back about three days later and see if it ain't just withered up and fix the normal way. There it is. It died.

Yeah. This is a real billboard put up by PETA. All animals want to live, where do you draw the line? It's a bunch of cats and dogs on one side, and there's a bunch of chickens and cows and rabbits on the other side, and somebody painted over it said, right about here.

Right about it. I ain't going to eat that horse. I will eat that rabbit, though. The rabbit and the horse need to switch spots. They say horse is good. What? Well, hey, I will go back to the three statements that I've told you about in our Constitution. Life, liberty, pursuers, happiness.

life okay things die things live that's life that's a cycle okay that's part of life death is part of life yeah okay

yeah yeah no and eating's part of life too yeah yeah yeah so hey and and I've got I've got orders from headquarters okay arise kill and eat well in Genesis I have dominion.

Okay. And plus, God made me a steward of what we're talking about. That's interesting. I wonder how you get there. I just wonder how you end up there. You're trying to protect a right purchase.

What road did it take to get you there? What got you where you're at? I'm actually genuinely curious about that. Like what? And then also, how do you serve? survive. What's your what's your deal?

I've seen some of them, though. And that's what bothers me. I've smelt some of them too. If you're going to be that against meat, you shouldn't you shouldn't look like I did in Duck Dynasty. Well, here's a deal, right? You know what I'm saying? You should be pretty thin.

What do you, you know? There's a lot of stuff that goes on that I don't agree with. I don't understand. Don't get it. I'm not out there making a petition to get rid of it. I just say, you know what? You do you, bro. As long as it's legal,

as long as it's legal and moral, I'm cool. They have put the blue gill on the level of humans. Yeah. That's the weird. That's where this gets weird is, yeah, we're starting to look at things at a human level

that are clearly not human. And that's a problem. That's a big problem. Oh, yeah. Things are out of order. Oh, yeah. Out of whack. Yeah, things are out.

But that's why I just want to know what got you there. Like, I'm legitimately curious to how you got there. Like, and that's an easy thing to get by. Yeah, I hate that y'all kill stuff. Well, for somebody to eat, something's got to die. And that goes for all of them. For a deer to eat, that thing's going to have to die. For a buzzard to eat something had to die.

Buzzard's dead stuff. For a plant to eat, technically breaking down nutrients in the soil, something had to die. Just say it's just, that's why I brought up three things. Life lives soon happened. For the fish to eat, something else had to die. Like there's, that's just. That is life. Life is, life is the beginning of life and then there's the end of life.

Yeah. You're alive and then, hey, one of these days, you're, You're going to die. And I understand if you don't like hunting or fishing, I get it. It may not be for you. And you may think that we're all, I don't know, egotistical, barbarical. Well, that goes about things. But you ain't going to find nobody that loves that stuff more than us.

Like right now, I love seeing little baby ducks running around, man. I love watching them. I got baby bluebirds in the house at home. My favorite thing do I go out there and look at them every day. In your home? The bird house. Yeah. They got their own house.

I put up their own house. You said in the, I thought, okay. Yeah, they were in their house. I go, me and the boys go look at them every day and show the, you know, show the process of how they go from a little naked pink thing with like a feather on it to now they're like little, I mean, it won't be long and they'll be fludging out of the neck. Yeah, then they get fuzzy. Yeah, they're cool, man.

Well, then it gets better and they get covered with feathers. Yeah. And the next thing, you know, they're flaws. And you know what, though? She feeds them worms. Guess what? for them babies to eat, the worms had to die. So I'm just saying, it's kind of a weird deal.

That's crazy. You could even say it was like a cycle. Yeah, it's almost like there's this web that was created. Yeah. And it has to work this way for things. Yeah, and it works only this way. Well, I didn't mean to go too political today, but I felt like that's something we got to speak against.

Also, speaking of politics, did you see what Donald Trump did in Bangladesh? man I really got to watch more TV I guess I didn't see what he did I ain't seen you all talking about all kinds of stuff I ain't seen it right there huh oh that's Donald Trump a rare albano buffalo that's Donald Trump

man there's look at the hairdo there was a buffalo that was about to get slaughtered in Bangladesh for some sort of and he pardoned him no he didn't party on it but then they said well it looks like Donald Trump but now now the cow is named Donald Trump and they put it in a zoo instead of

slaughter in it. That's it. So if you got a haircut just like Donald Trump, you might be able to be saved, Oregon cows. Yeah, there you go, boys. How much does that cow look like the president? I do this. I like it.

It needs to be a little light of color. That's funny. That's as deep as politics as we're going to get. There's a cow in Bangladesh. A cow in Bangladesh. Named. It's apparently a big deal. People are coming from all over to see the cow.

You reckon he talks too much, too? Greg and he got just a little too much This is a big beautiful Beautiful I see you over there With those big beautiful Ears of corn You're going to feed me

Also whoever named of Donald Trump Got fired apparently Oh Do you think they named him Donald Trump It went viral I just wonder what like The Bangladesh Interpretation of Donald Trump was

Languages are weird They really are Oh yeah He could have been like Donnie all I know is where we're we're, I'm going to Oregon to vote. Yeah, that's weird, man.

Would you move? I'd have to. Yeah. I mean, you're not. Oh, if I put it in law, I'm out of there.

I say that. I would then petition something else. I, I would then do everything I could to turn that place into two states. Oregon and Oregon or here. I couldn't move. I don't know. Or a gone.

Or a cone. You're out. If I couldn't move, then I'd be going outlaw. I would just, no, I would. I would either move to Florida. Although since they sent me over to collections, I might not. I would just beat them at their own game. I would then have to play their game against them.

Uh-oh. What would you outlaw? Purple hair and not shaving your armpits for women? Stop, Hunter. Don't spit that out on the computer. This thing are expensive. I'm not saying that's the $125,000. What I would then do...

I'm just saying that's 124. What I would then do is then I would fight them at their own game and get legislation passed where it's not a popular vote, where it's then just in some bill where it's like, no, you have the right to do this. You do have the right to do this. That's what I'm saying. But I would make them put it in writing,

and it would then become part of... It would be a law. It would be a law that was part of Oregon's Constitution or so. I would just beat them at their own game. I would not go through a freaking petition on change. to do this. I wouldn't be able to get milk though. Like it, the act gets rid of farming cows. Yeah. I mean, no milk, no butter, no bacon, no, no, no none of that. Like, I mean, that's why I said you better name four of my

you better think about this a while before. That's what I'm saying. I mean, yeah, it's easy as a knee-jerk reaction to hate hunting and fishing. I get it. It's not for everybody. We have some really poor examples of outdoorsmen that live in the world. I get it, right? But for most of us, are pretty good. Most of us are pretty good people that mind our own and take care of stuff. We give way more than we take most of the time. I even throw fish back most of the time. I mean, we're, man, D.C., we're going up and down the river and if we, of the Coosa River and if we saw trash, we stop and got it. Like, we're picking up after other people. That ain't our trash. I picked up a freaking golf ball. Somebody hitting the river. Like, I don't even know where that thing came

from. But, you know, like, the most of us are pretty good and actually care about that stuff. So there are bad apples, no doubt. But yeah, I'd just beat them at their home game. I'd just then be a full onslaught of, you know, or another state. I'm cool. Oregon and Oregon, Oregon, not. I don't know. Weird part and throw it in the ocean.

Yeah, I don't know where you end up. And if you live in Portland, I'm sorry, man, but y'all really do. It's bad. I don't know if it's still bad, but when I was there a couple of years ago. That's how all big cities are going, though. Yeah, when I was there a couple of years ago, I was looking for the paper mill and there wasn't one. But it smelled distinctly like our city.

And I was like, ooh, there's no paper mill. Yeah, it couldn't find out why it stunk. There's not a paper mill or bourbon street. We don't know why it should smell like that. Yeah, man, it was a toughie. You want to talk about somewhere that stinks. What, bourbon? Yeah, Bourbon, yeah, Burbin Street.

New Orleans proper. Yeah. Yeah. So, that's, you know, yeah, we're looking at the problems in our own state. See, we recognize their problems here. Well, he got lots of issues. Yeah. But wow, what a life.

What a time to be alive. Is that the best email we had? Oh, I mean. Or we got more. We got more, but I had to make sure we covered. Oh, no, I'm good with that. Yeah. We had to cover our feeling, although people knew our feelings toward Oregon.

I love Oregon. I think it just needs to be known that there's, you know, there's, that's, that's the problem, though. Like, you know, 125,000 people sign this thing because they're goofballs or whatever. But like, if it actually becomes a fight. Yeah. The whole country of outdoorsmen and outdoor women will turn their eyes towards Oregon and win. Yeah, it's a problem. There's no way you'll win it.

And your state is beautiful, man, like outside the cities are, man, there's some of those valleys and then big tall, like, evergreen trees. I don't know what kind of pine trees y'all got. And I don't want to disrespect them by calling them something. But, man, y'all got a pretty place. Like, it is beautiful country. Full of mallard ducks, full of wiggins, full of elk, turkey. I think now. Oh, yeah.

Y'all are a pretty cool place. All the wild game. Yeah, take care of it. You can take care of it without doing what you're doing. And, you know, but whatever, it is what it is. Father's Day is easy this year. Is it? Yeah.

What? Beef. Beef. It's so simple. Your dad's probably got everything he's ever wanted. Just get them beef and maybe he'll share something. Our friends over at Tritails, premium beef makes a great gift. Look, Tritails is running $20 off their Father's Day box through June 22nd.

Like he's asking ours? Yeah, but I'm trying to think Kansas. There's not a lot of... Mine would be. Cropy. White perch. Cropy. Hands down.

Yep. Hands down, it's the best. Mustard fries. White. You don't have to mustard fry it. Oh, yeah. Put a cornmeal jacket on it. Oh, no.

Hey, mustard fries it, baby. They're from Oregon. What? One of my favorite follows on the internet. Who? The N-O-D-R. They're from Oregon. No.

I can't say their full name. They say it. I can't. I don't know who we're talking about. cornmeal jacket they're from Oregon put that in a cornmeal jacket see they're from Oregon yeah they are the N-O-D-R I was wondering why you couldn't say it yeah where's that where'd that go is that on Instagram mm-hmm they still around I see them pop up every time every time every now and time I mean they smoke a lot of weed and catch a lot of fish man they got 11,000

followers yeah I'm one of them they're relaxing and catching fish mm-hmm that's where Cornmeal jacket originated. Right there. That is. Look at them crappie, boy. Look at that big old cool. What, Honor? You ain't ever heard of them?

Oh, you need to go check them out. Oh, that 118 plus crappies. Big dog, you gotta go check them out. They haven't been posting a lot lately. No, I still watch our old stuff, man. That's so good. The, uh, but I mean. They had a podcast for a minute.

They should get together with hood fishing entertainment. They should. He's, gee. What is the Lord going to leave us with today? I think we need a little more. We probably need about five more minutes. Oh, okay. Favorite fish to eat, we're back.

Favorite fish to eat. Mine's white perch. I mean, all of them? Probably are good, man. Brim or bluegill are good. My mom and dad caught a lot of bluegill this weekend. Bass are good. You know, the best part of a bluegill is tail.

Yep. Oh, I love eating fish tails, man. Oh, wow. What a life. Yeah. I mean. It's like a fish flavored potato chip. I would say probably my least favorite.

It's going to be a very unpopular opinion because for a lot of people, it's the only fish they get to eat is catfish. Probably my least out of the. Your boy ain't eating no farm raised catfish. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I know a lot of people you don't have access to fresh fish or, but even outside of farm raised, like wildcatfish are not great. That flathead's pretty good.

Oh, sorry. The, well, I had up to about 15 pounds is pretty solid. Apollososus cat belly bait. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, like our local catfish establishments, I'm not, I'm ordering the shrunk. Except for catfish, Charlie's got catfish. The way that they turn that catfish into like a chip, for lack of a better term, the thin and crispy.

It's like a fish chip. That stuff is good. You've got to cut it thin. Yeah, that stuff is good. But you know it's real good, however than people in England be cutting whatever type of that fish in it. Yeah, that's like cod and stuff. I think is what they eat, a lot of white fish. I like.

But ocean fish are significantly better than fresh water. Yeah. I like a big piece of white fish meat. It's delicious. Yeah. So, I mean, you start eating like Kobe and all that kind of stuff. Oh, man, that stuff's so good. You know what else is really good?

Captain Deas. Don't have a clue what type of fish it is. Thoroughly enjoy it. That's one of them white fish cod. This one of them at deadliest catch uses for baiting their crab traps. The processed Alaskan halivet. Oh. The cheese meat is the best on halibut.

His cheeks, I'd eat it. Cold water fish are significantly better than warm water fish. We ain't got no cold water. That's not true. I don't really like trout or salmon. Salmon's the wrong color. But salmon's good. No, it's not.

It's not bad. It's not good. Like black and salmon is. good. I don't get to work. I mean, I've eaten the salmon sushi. It's the raw, this raw salmon. You've grown up.

Yeah. And it's disgusting. I just like fish. So, I mean, you're going to be hard pressed to get a fish that I'm not going to at least try. I just genuinely enjoy eating fish. That's good. Yeah.

I had one other one, but I can't find it. But somebody was asking. how we like to prepare deer. And if I was in Oregon, I would say, every way, sausage, hamburgers. I like deer spaghetti. The best way to prepare deer is cut it up all about a quarter inch thick

and then fry it up. Chicken fry. Chicken fry. I literally just, I feel bad because I'm not going to give this person their name. Chicken fried deer is good. You know how many emails we get telling us how Hunter should be doing his job? About what?

A lot. What's he not doing? I don't know. Everybody wants to run our social media for him. Oh, that's a toughie. He just got that. Y'all give him some chance. No, they're not.

It's just companies saying, we'll clip your show for you. Oh, that's just AI stuff probably. Sign up for this and we'll feed your podcast into here and we'll AI clip it up. Well, I have no idea where that guy asks. How I'm getting old and I can't even work. computer.

Honor, you may have to take over emails too. Just find some you find interesting reading them out to us. Yeah. Johnny Dees said fire away, boys. Oh. Genesis 1, 25 through 27. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock, according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to

their kinds. And God saw that it was good, which we can agree with the petition people. God liked it, we liked it, you liked it. Then God said, let's make man in our image, mankind in our image, in our likeness so that they may rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, over the livestock, and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his own image. In the image of God, he created them, male and female, he created them. We got orders from headquarters, boys. I see it.

We're in charge, not the fish. There you go. Go catch them on a coiki ball this weekend. Oh, wait. Go catch you some crappy.
