This is a special episode. There's three of us. There's three of us. There's just the three of us. They should write a song about that. We ready? I'm ready. All right.

We're back. We did that together. It's like we've done this a lot together. I heard it in stereo. Hey, this is the first day of September 22. We're breaking down walls. You're not hearing this on that day. All right.

But hey, guess where I'm going to be what? Five days from now. And I think this episode is going to air after that. Okay. I'm fixing to go to Houston, Texas. H-Town. Okay. Go into an Astros game.

I'm going to, no. No. No. No. I'm going to the hospital. Oh. And I'm going to the hospital because I have C-O-P-D, which is a breathing preliminary medical issue with my lungs. Because of, hey, they lied to me.

Smoke is harmful. Okay. Cigarettes are bad for your health, as I found out, after I smoked for like 30 years. Okay, so hey, don't let the powers to be that make them cigarettes, okay? Tell you the lie. It's harmful for you. Okay. That's why I'm fixing ahead to Houston, Texas, and I have some suffer vows put in my lungs to help me breathe better.

Explain that. What it is is a plastic vowel. and they are tailor-made for my lungs, my airways, okay, and all they're going to do is they're going to put me to sleep and I guess put a big air down my throat, some kind of medical tube. Yeah, okay, and then the doctor's going to actually go in and put vows, plastic vows, okay, that will allow the air to come out of my

the lobes of my lungs, let it come out. It cannot go back in. That's crazy. Yeah. That's to help me, so I don't know what they call it, but it pumps in a way. What a time to be alive. A fibulator, I guess you'd call it.

I don't know. I think that's some shocking thing. Well, no, but anyway, this, it's like a... Shocking things. It's like a blacksmith that uses to eat the fire up. Oh, oh, one of them, it looked like an accordion. Yeah, it blows air. What does that call?

I'm going to look up what I'm going to know. I don't know, but anyway, that's the way in your lungs you've got a thing that does that. Yeah. And it goes up and down. Your dive. Yeah. When you actually breathe in, I don't have no problem breathing in. The air is getting trapped in my lungs, the bad air.

So it don't come out. It don't come out. They're going to put vowels in, okay, that we'll let it out. and you know so I'll actually breathe a lot better so you're gonna be able to take a bigger breath oh yeah yeah well I actually expelled the bad air in the bottom of my lungs

so I got tickle it I got tickle at the x-ray when he's x-raying my lungs for this procedure he said man good grief he said hold me scoge you down a little bit he said your lungs are so long because he's been talking a lot my man

because you all and I did and I got to look at me And he said, look at that. He pointed it up to the screen where it's on. He said, your lungs are filling up the whole stupid screen. He said, most people, you always just fill up a part of it. He said, you're just trying to go out of screen. Good grief. So you, all this time, you've had really long lungs?

Oh, yeah. No, that's what, hey, that's what? That makes a lot of sense. That's full of old air. Hey. Full of hot air. It can't get it out. And it won't come out.

Well, no, no. Like, day. The last thing you got a problem with is getting air out your lungs. Yeah, that's what that, that's, you've got one of them. The bellow. Yeah. It's a bellow. We figured out the name of it.

So what is the recovery time? I got to be in the hospital and like I should have asked the doctor. I don't even know how long. Are you that guy? You don't even ask questions. Well, no, no. Because, hey, I've been so healthy all my life. Okay.

Because when the doctor did open my heart surgery on me, you know, he goes through the big spill to tell me what he's going to do on that. And he said, you got any questions? I said, Doc, I have no idea what to ask you. I've been healthy all my life. What am I going to ask you? I'm that way when doctor says, I'm like, you can't say them big words anyway.

No, no, well, anyway. It seems like when Paula was studying for respiratory stuff, she was wanting me to read these questions off to her. Yeah, you couldn't even pronounce. Well, what you just tell me the answer? I'll tell you if you answered right or wrong. I don't speak that. When the doctor asked, you got any question, I said, yeah, I got one question.

I said, I got one question. He said, what's that? I said, do I really have to go through this? And he said, you mean the surgery? I said, yeah. And he said, well, of course you do. You're going to die. And I said, well, all right, let's get it on then.

Get after it. All right, get after it. And look, I told the story to Philip, okay, about the big problem on most surgeries, especially bypass surgery for heart. Okay. You literally, they put you on a blood machine to keep the blood flowing through your heart. Yes.

Okay, so you're actually dead while they're working on it. Well, they didn't do that with me. Because most of the time when the doctor says, okay, scaffold, he cuts the 12 inch thing from here to here. Then he says, rib spreader, crank your ribs open where you can see the heart. in it to him? No, no, but I'm just saying this is the way it goes down.

So look, when he said rib spreader, and the nurse handed it to him, and he put it in there and spread it in my ribs, it's like, you know, it's like opening it in the window or door. voila, and there's my heart. Most of the time, now this is coming from the doctors, what the

doctors tell me. Most of the time they have to spend like two hours cutting the fat and all the garbage away from it where they can actually see what they've got a repair. He said his whole team, when he's done the little deal about spreading the ribs, they all went,

ah, because there was my heart just, pump, pump, pump, it was in, hey, it was where it was supposed to be.

Yeah, well, then it was clean, okay? He's got a clean, then here's what the guy that came in the restaurant told me when Philip, you know,

he could come in to buy some hamburgers over, John Gimmer's deal. He said, Then Doc did the most amazing thing. He just gently put his hand on an ankle size heart, lifted it up, and said, you know, needle and thread, a scaffold. Cut it, okay, took the vein he had, put it in there, and in between heartbeats, ba-boom, stitch, bum-boom, stitch, bum-boom, stitch. That's amazing.

Okay. I didn't go on the blood, I didn't go on the blood machine. Oh, that's good. He actually operated, and I was sitting there thinking, wait a minute, when they was test, him in this story. My brother told me his story because the doctor told him. I said, wait a minute. You got to think about this. God made a man so amidectrous and so talented. Okay, that he can stitch between heartbeats. Yep. That's a pretty good scale. You know, yeah. You wasn't the first one he done it on.

Yeah. Yeah, and I'm saying, yeah, I said, no. So you ain't nervous at all about because you've been through that. Well, no, no. Hey, oh, I was nervous. So you ain't worried about next one. So if you're listening, he's already had it. He's in recovery. Tell him how you're doing, Sigh.

Oh, I'm good. He's good. So we'll have him back soon. I'm breathing way easier. There it is. He's just letting you know. We're trusting in the Lord. But throw some prayers up for Sai while he's in recovery.

In your prayers. And we can't wait. We're going to do a couple more before he has to go. go do surgery, but we're rooting for you, Big Dog. As always, we love you. Tune in. Actually, I got questions for Sa. Tune in next.

All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know. We love to eat beef around here. And that's what, because of our friends over at Triedales beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good?

It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, bye on the grill. Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritels comes from a family ranch out in Texas.

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

that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails 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. I got one for you too You gotta Google something for me because Nova left me hanging last night Hold on. Nova. Yeah.

I watched Nova last night And it was about the first alphabet. You know why they're in that order? Nope. Because of that song. What song? A, B, C, D.

I don't know what's happening I don't know what's happening I'm going to say I'm out of the base boys that's why I'm out of the babes I don't even know that I'm Hey you need to Okay yeah I was going to ask you questions

But you said you have I watched Nova last night What is Nova? Well it's on PBS Is all I can take you Okay He's watching PBS Nova I'm watching PBS

And look they come up They show this old ruins In Egypt There's 49 seasons of this show. Oh no, hey, I'm telling you, they got some good stuff. Anyway, the first alphabet, they left me hanging, because I'm not sure who actually

come up with it. So you were watching season 47. And then the Egyptians, and then the Mesopotamia, which is back then, is currently Iraq. Hey, just moved this podcast over into history and learning. No, no, because they had foreigners.

We're about to teach you. You know, because The hieroglyphics, okay, Egypt is into pictures. Okay. They're artists, they like to draw. Yeah, yeah. Okay, but the alphabet actually was pictures. What did they call them?

I can't think of the name of it. Hieroglyphics? You know what that? You know what? The other one was Bonnegrounds. I think of them called. Pictures. I found the episode.

Pictures and writing combined. Did you hear about them two artists that had a contest? Nope. It was a draw. Oh, it was a draw. Hey, there you go. Okay. He's got one.

But anyway, you need to Google. Who was the original? Who did the first alphabet? Who did? Okay, because I found the episode, but it's 50 minutes. So we don't. No, no, no. Who made the alphabet?

Who came up with it? Who picked up the stick and made the first drawing? Cave, man. That's how he done the alphabet. I don't know. No, that was, no, he just did the pictures. didn't do the alphabet. Are you,

because, look, the Japanese and the Chinese and then the, what did they say, Rebus, I think. The Rebus? Yeah, Rebus is a part of writing. Never heard of it.

Well, hey, that's what they said on. Revis? Yeah. R-E-U-B-I-U-S, something like that. Rebovious? Yeah, hey, Rebus is how they pronounce. Revis and Budhead.

Hey, well, I was thinking it. I'm serious. I'm just telling you Hey this is over my head You know When you go back and tell about that But what alphabet are you Like the English alphabet

The first alphabet The Hebrew alphabet Well I don't know Hey Hebrew No Hebrew come in later So you want I thought about the first alphabet The who made

Hey here's this This is where Hebrews's coming in The Phoenicians The who The Phoenicians Is that what it says Where are they from? Yeah

See they're foreigners Asiatic or something like Azeastic. Well, everybody's a foreigner prior to like 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Hey, I'm just telling you the way the people on the show had it done. Besides the Native America. They were showing. They're the only ones that aren't foreigners.

Why are you so interested in? Well, I was wondering who really actually done it. Who was the original alphabet writer? So what that's going to do for you? Because, hey, look, we got the Egyptians first. The Phoenicians. They was the picture drawers. Leaving.

Yeah, they used the pictures, okay. And then they brought in somebody to Asiastics, I think. Geriatric. I thought it was Asiatic. I bet it was geriatric. Yeah. But anyway, hey, they brought in, then they brought in, and started mixing writing and pictures.

Yep. Oh, they wrote a book. Well, I know, but hey, all I know is that when they went to the original first one, they had to go into ruins, go in in a cave, and then, hey, here's all this stuff on the wall. Thousands and thousands of different little affidates. So it used to be, you know, hey, at first it was gigantic, not just A to Z. Because, hey, they had buildings that had it all over the buildings. Buildings.

You know what breed of dog can leap over a building? Nope. All of them. Buildings can't jump. Here we go. I'm so confused. Okay, so you're saying the Phoenicians? I'm saying the, I don't know what a Phoenician is.

Foreigner. Obviously. Well, I'm just saying, I don't get it. Well, look, no, you had the, I can't even, residents. The Egyptians was the resident. Okay. So you said they're foreigners of Egypt? Those that was traveling through, which is all the foreigners, okay?

Hey, can somebody call Martin? We need him to sort of this out. No, no, hey. I'm so. No, no, that's why I told you, they left me hanging because I didn't know who really, I wanted to know who was actually given the credit for writing the alphabet. I would, I guess it was a collaboration, is the word I'm looking for. I think it morphed over time. through a collaboration.

Yeah. Okay. Into Greek and then other stuff. I'll tell you, they come in way late. Then we got English, baby. Hebrews and all them, they come in way, way, you know, somebody was way ahead of them. You think?

Yeah, that's what the show said. Sir. Well, I would have to just say, okay, this was a collaboration between a bunch of people to finally come up. with the one alphabet. Well, are you happy now? But it was the Phoenicians. That's your answer.

If you ever... Yeah, the foreigners. Okay. They was a more noble character. What? Well, hey, I don't know. This is back in ancient times now, I'll tell you. Wouldn't everybody...

Are you... What do you mean by foreigner? I would have said the Borians. He is not a resident of the country. Of what? He's a pilgrim, in other words. Alien. Like the Americans.

We're foreigners because we was pilgrims at one time. Were you a pilgrim? Yeah. I come from pilgrims. Don't you know that we landed at Plymouth Rock? I don't mean you could have showed up at any moment. Well, that's what I'm talking about.

This is America, son. This is a great melting pot. Here's what got me. How the alphabet started is a guy is holding a little piece of wood and it's got 90 degree angles on it. Hold on. And he starts making little imprint in clay. They had a video of this?

Yeah, he was doing it. No, I'm serious. He was a professor, okay? Oh, the professor. I thought you were saying they had no, no, look. Footage of the first man's alphabet. Hey, look, this is back when they're writing in the mud.

Papyrus. Yeah. Oh, no, hey, this was for privacy. They was doing it in mud first. Okay, because they're showing him he's got mud tablets. Hold on, though. It was interesting. I'm just saying, you've got to think about it.

Hey, the first pen was a piece of wood that had 90-degree angles on it. But who wrote the book of Job? Because isn't that the first book ever written in the Bible? All I know is whoever did it was guided by the Holy Spirit. Well, correct. Okay. That's all I know about who wrote. Because he had to have an alphabet.

bet yeah well there you go i always just go back to that because wasn't job actually written he wasn't in ancient times he was before ancient times after huh i thought that was pretty well how you got to you got to you got to define all this stuff okay because hey when you when you go to how we talk about them yeah when you go to how we talk about them yeah when you go back to the word in the beginning okay you're going Way back before, ancient. I know. Okay.

What I'm saying. Moses might have wrote the book of judgment. All I know is, all the men, all the men that actually put the pen to the paper. They had to get the alphabet from something. It was actually guided by the Holy Spirit to what was put down. That's true. Okay. But the Phoenicians taught them how to do it.

At least gave them the letters. Well, hey, you may. Some point? Right. Well, when you get right down to it, now I know who did alphabet. How? Who?

The Almighty. There it is. I got him there. No, no. No, no, because if I'm looking for... He fed him for 20 minutes. Well, no, no, because when you get right down to it, yeah, okay, now we know for sure.

Okay. What's the most amazing things you're saying in the woods? Do what? What's the most unusual thing you've? saying in the woods. Well, that would be a tough one there. Well, I'm going to give you a break to think. We're going to take a break.

Oh, I'm not going to be able to come up with an answer with that. We're going to do a commercial. Okay, but I'm not going to be able to come up with an answer for that. And then you're going to have an answer. Too much. Ready? Set? Break.

Back. Okay. Oh, we're back. Okay. We're back. Look, I could think about this for years. Years. You know, you know.

That is. You could think about. There's so much. much what you've seen in the woods. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. You know, like flying squirrels, for example. We talked about them.

They don't fly. They glide. They glide. They fall with style. No, no, because you got to understand. Or do they sail? My arms, okay, if I was a flying squirrel, part of my belly skin would be,

you got that anyway, would be connected to my arms. And that way when I do this, I've got a big sheet. Okay, and I've done Yeah, they glide And I run up to the top of the tree Tip top and bail out And I'm going toward another tree

I'd like to do that No, no, and I guess what I do The whole time I'm sailing Downward Okay So I can't land in the top of that tree I'll land on my trunk Wait at the bottom

And then I've got to climb all the way up If I want to go from that tree And then do it again And do it again That's it Because hey, I got a deer stand that I hunt in. So I'm sitting there listening and, you know, it's real quiet. It's perfect time for the deer start moving.

And I hear, so I'm looking around. Well, then I felt a breeze on the back of my neck. Well, he's inside my deer stand, flying squirrels. That old canvas. Yeah, yeah. He had a nasty in there. He had done to come up behind me on that thing and was running around behind me.

It took me a while to figure out what it was. It scared me when I first seen him. So you're going with flying squirrels. Yeah. Flying squirrels. I got a bunch of flying squirrels inside my deer stand. They was. Plus a bunch of waltz.

Wast? That's only if you used the first one in there. Perfer tails. No, no, that's why I hate. That's why you go to TP or either honeyhole and get you one of them bug bombs. We don't have those. You don't have bug bombs?

No. Oh, you need to get a bug bomb. Shut up? Yeah, I'm serious because, hey, I need it to kill all my waltz and all that of my deer stand. We can get a bug bomb. Because, hey, you go in there and just pop it, throw it in there. Close the door and walk away. Close the door and, you know, come back, you know, two weeks later and hunt,

you're waltzer all dead. They got on. Otherwise, you're sitting there, and you pah. So you're going to just nail me, boys, a perper table. You'd like to be able to fly like a squirrel, though? Oh, what are you talking about? Yeah, I'd love to fly like a school. Okay, so with that noted.

I would too. Will you go to Six Flags with me and ride a roller coaster? No. I will. No. Why not? No. You want to be a flying squirrel.

They make me throw up. Dude, how are you going to be a flying squirrel? Well, I mean, hey, look, hey, the Almighty can take care of that. Okay. But, hey, six flags. No, my son made me get on one morning and hey, I was sick as a dog. Oh, I love him. But, like.

Dude. Like the one where your feet dangled is called Batman, and you go upside down. Well, no, it ain't it upside down. The one that we rode is you're sitting in it, and just all of a sudden it's like the ground actually falls out from under your feet, and here you go straight down. Yeah, let's go.

And I'm really, I'll tell you, then the rest of your insides are up in your throat, you can't breathe. It's the best. It'll be like you're a flower. No, no, no, I ain't like a small squirrel. Glide you actually glide and can enjoy it. Look around. People enjoy roller coasters.

No. You would have fun. No. Not on a roller coaster. I actually, the last time I rode a roller coaster, we went like in the heart of shutting down everything, but Six Flags was letting like a few people in every day. But you had to wear a mask all day, so we're like, there ain't going to be nobody there.

And I've reached the AIDS where I cannot ride the same roller coaster for eight straight times without feeling like I'm going to hurt. myself. I was like, there's nobody here. I just sat and I was like, hey, I'm not getting off. He said, I ain't getting off. Run it back. Run it again. But I finally reached the point. I was like, this is, this is foolish. I'm too old for this. This hurts now. No.

But I want to go. I ain't in a roller coaster. Last one I rode was Space Mountain. Space Mountain's a good time. I was starting the lights off. Yeah. Uh-oh, turning lights off, boys. That was the first roller coaster I ever rode, actually. And I didn't ride another one for like

10 years because I was scared. I'm not a thrillseeker. I put Joe Hanna on her and she hated roller coasters. But I didn't know it was going to do what it did. It done some pretty cool stuff. I'm not an adventurous person. You ain't. Because if it was left up to me to settle the world.

You want to be an interstellar traveler. The world was to be unsettled. Unsettled? Yeah. It is unsettled. Because I'm not a pioneer. You've got to. You've got those.

No, no. Because you've got to think about it. You've got those people. They've got to climb the mountain to see what's on the other side. I finally figured. To me, climbing the mountain just to see what's on the other side, that's a waste of time. You'd just go around it. Yeah.

I was going to stay at the bottom of it. I think I finally figured sign out. Yeah. Because he always talks about how when he gets to heaven, he's going to be an interstellar traveler. Oh, no, no. I'm going to travel then. He's going to do. Because of flying, the squirrel.

Oh, no. I'm going to do it because it's the way I can do it. So you're just like, everybody on earth trying to do all this stuff. And you're just waiting for heaven. No, no, here's what it is. There's no work involved. No work involved. Okay.

I can just go and there's no sweat. There's no strain on me. He said there's no. Okay. But you got to think about that. Everything is going to be good. Yep. Well, it is.

There ain't going to be no stress, you know, and like time is of no, has no meaning. There ain't going to be no time. Yeah, it has no meaning because it's eternity. Can you imagine that? I don't know. When you start thinking about stuff like this and really just you look at it, you don't know what I'm saying, hold it, wait a minute. You know, because Jay's, you know, shocked me with what he told the young people. What he was teaching them about God.

He said, close your eyes. And when I say, Jehovah, God, the Father, what comes into your mind? What picture do you see in your head? It's a pretty good little phrase right there. Because most people, that's reading, God ain't real to them. Because they can't, you know, they don't have no image of him. Well, they forgot that they need to read the Bible.

Yeah, you do. Jesus would walk this earth. We saw it, you know, people saw him and saw him do amazing thing, and he is the exact representation of the father. He is. Okay. That's going to be pretty good.

No, no. That's why when you say, wait a minute, when you're actually going to meet him face to face, and I always had to go, you're meeting the king of kings and the Lord of. of Lord's face to face. The one that is everything, that has done everything, and yet without sin.

That's gonna be, yeah, that's gonna be out of this world experience. Oh yeah. It really is. It's gonna be something that, no, you're not gonna ever top this. Yeah, because you're meeting the one that is everything. Yeah, that's why right now I'm trying to write a song, and I don't ever think I'll accomplish it. Why not?

Because I'm like a computer right now. I'm on overload. Overload. It's just too much. Smoke's coming out of his ear. Yeah, it's just too much. And he's just waiting to be. No, no, and you can, you know, like the alphabet.

The alphabet is used to make words. Yeah. We can't come up with the right words for him. I like where you went with. that. No, no, I'm serious. I agree. We cannot come up with, you know, and I'll tell people all this time when I preach it to them. You really don't comprehend what is being offered to you, human being. We can't. We really don't. We can't. We can't. Yeah. That's why we can't forgive ourselves. That's why we can't do right. Okay. Because in and of myself. So,

Dallas Mert Robinson has no righteousness, none. No. But I have a savior that is willing to give me some of his righteousness that he's overflowing with. That's a big love. Which is, that's pretty cool. Big love. Oh, yeah, that's pretty cool.

But for right now, we're just going to go to a break. Well, hi, there you go. We'll be right back. Oh, no, just a take. Oh, just a tail. You know, one time I had to just tear the tail off of a bait. To make them bite it? We was fishing with minors, too.

A double minter rig had minors on there, me and Jay, and we couldn't get the fish to bite. And we tore a charteroose piece, I mean a piece, and put it on that hook with them menors. And then they bit it. And they eat it. That's fickle, ain't it? Well, no, no. I was like Daddy and Mama was fishing one time, okay? And Daddy's, Daddy's, I love this.

He kept turning his back to Mama. Yeah, and what they had was they had a little baby crawfish and they was fishing for chinky pens. Chicken pan. Paula calls them chicken pens. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, Daddy was back and he turned his back and what he would do was break the tail off. You know, that's what they was catching him on.

Yeah. But he was actually peeling it. So it was just a little white piece of meat. And then he put it on his hook and told out there. As soon as he did, it'd sink, you know, brim hit it. Mom was up there and she still just got the tail covered, you know. Yeah. She ain't catch nothing.

She got to watch him, man. She finally snook up and was standing over him when he peeled it, you know. And she popped him on the head and told me, you know. James, no wonder you're supposed to tell me, you know. Why are fishermen like that? I don't know. Also, welcome back to the duck call room. We just start.

They just start talking. Wait, what? They like to strap people. Well, they'd be like, why are you so concerned with other people also catching fish? Well, because it's so much fun. Because you want to catch more than other person. It's so much fun strapping them. That's why when you're spider rigging, you know,

they got them yellow tips on them rods, on them trailing pole. That's so you can see your partner's pole move. and grab and catch a fish off of his side. Grab his. That's what they're for. That's like that one. I told them when we designed them, a duck commander's series being imposed,

I said put a two, everybody's got a short section. I said, no, put me a two foot section on there. Two foot yellow on the end. That's right. So you could see it for miles.

Eight miles. That's eight miles. This is what they're biting right now. That's that darbone. That's a darbone. Crappy magnet. Black and charrettee is. Black and charters.

With a little spinner. With a little spinner. A little pin spin on there. I tried that one. When did you go first? I tried the mermaid, but black and charteroes. That's the color. Back in the day, we used to make our own hackles.

And you had to, the size of the spinner, a spinner is key. You had to use the number five. Anything else? That little map spinner. Number five. All I know was the number five. You put it on there and then you put feathers, wrapped feathers around it. We made them.

We made her own. Yeah. We had the little kit that you make them with. But a number five spinner had to be on there. And, hey, the best one is you kill a wood duck during duck season. Mm-hmm. You can range up there and you grab the whole top notch off that wood duck and put it out. Yep.

And then tie that on a hackle bait, hackle hookah. hackle hook. Oh, yeah. Tail season fishing started. I've got to take me a zip-blot bag with me. Oh, no. Yeah. Get some of the feathers, different colored feathers.

Oh, yeah, baby. The best one I ever you. Let me see. The funnest, if you're not catching any fish, you got to buy some little trout magnet, little bitty bait with a 64th hook on it. And you can buy them little elbow mips, elbow spinners, and put on there and make it a little, like a beetle spin.

Yep. but that small black and chartreuse and you can go up there and just catch all the brink. They won't be big unless you get into the biggings. Yep, nope. But you're going to catch fish just about every cast. That's the funnest thing. I like chunk of their mind and anyway.

Hey, whoever come out with that was that was a good one. Yeah, accessory. It was the charthouse and black little beetle spin. That's, hey, them thing. They're them black dots on them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And bath, you'd catch a lot of big bass on them stupid little old baits.

H&H, remember the H&H? Oh, oh, yeah. There's a lot of baits that's gone now. H&H beetles that. They still there? Well, what about the spinner bait, the regular spinner bait? 269. 269.

What did it used to be? What did it used to be? We've seen a honeyhole hat when we was up there. We're taking over the world, man. Up there at that, what was that outdoor show, the game fair where was it at we at we flew in the Minneapolis it was Rogers

Minnesota yeah there was a kid come walking by and he had a honey hole hat on we're taking over the world we had a double take we said whenever we started hunting

moss lake and fish lake you seen a honey hole out oh no no look we started fishing up there okay and anything that hit the top water hit the water you could just slaughter them. So we started doing what they called a chugger.

You know, and like you throw it. Lucky 13. Oh, no. No, this was just a straight chugger, two-inch chugger. And it needed to be with the sun perch color. It was the best color. Sun perch. Yep.

He's multi-colored. Beautiful fish. All them boats, I mean, all them baits had a red front to. Oh, yeah. Yep. With that, them old wooden chugged. With a dugout front where you could make it spit water. But you throw that thing, let it sit, let all the ripples go away from it,

and then just pop it one time. And I mean, you look over 50 yards on the Siper Street, all you see was a big weight coming. And all, it was quite entertaining. What's the biggest? And then just, who, whoa, whoa. What's the biggest fish you've caught over? Up there, oh, eight, nine pounds.

Oh, we got eight, nine pounds or an eight or a nine pounder. Oh, hey, both. Both? Yeah. Oh, yeah. All of it. That was back in the day, like when the river would be on, you know, flood stage. Yeah.

It would be back in there running. In that backwater. Oh, yeah. You get in and it had to be about, oh, about at least 18 inches to two foot deep. When it got over the road, 18 inches to two foot. They'd all just congregate, and you could throw in there, that and a three-inch white grub with a spinnerbait on a hackle rig. On a hackle rack.

They just kill them. I'm talking about it to the tune of how they load a boat down. Did they have cane poles back in? They don't have cane poles now? No, we're using rod and reels. You cannot find a cane. The most we ever caught was like 1,500. in a day?

And one going, one fishing. Good, Jerry. We had about... How many people? No, no, it's four of us. No, four of us. So y'all caught 400. What was you just wade in the bank?

No, just wade up there and throw on cross the road. Who was the other three? Oh, we can... Bill Bowling me and whoever time he, you know. But look... Oh, no, I'll tell you, that was back in the... the day that, you know, the dam on moss and fish lake, all it was, they brought a dozer in there, put a pipe in there, you know, and covered it up.

And by the eight foot down, well, when the river flooded, you know, it'd get over them roads, and when he did, you'd go to sway it up there about waist deep, yeah. The trick to it was was right when it was fixed to come over the road, you could pull up there and then throw on the other side and where the water was against the down? Yeah. Thousands are there. And, I mean, you just, you think about running a spinner bait to a thousand bass.

Boom. Every time you'd throw it in there, you'd, boom, you know, reel him in. And, I mean, you'd read him in, and there'd be a hundred behind him. I'm talking about anywhere from two, three, five, seven, just, you know, it was insane. Just jumping all over each. All over it. Just fishing. I wonder, could you find that spot right now?

Oh, yeah. Look. Phil went in there one time. I wasn't there. I wish I would have been. He's putting up there right at dark. He's going to stay at Eagle Nest, had a little cabin up there.

You know, and it was brim. And all they was doing, the brim were feeding in. So they were just, oh, yeah. Hitting, okay. But, hey, it was so many. It sounded like, thunder in a thunder store.

Just a roar of I've never heard that thunder. No, no, no, I'm serious. He said it was literally the water when you looked out through the woods through the swamp. It was just with so many brim feet. April and May.

Yes, yeah. Yeah. Just because that was the greatest fish hatchery ever. I can remember Daddy used to He liked to fly fish for them bring them Oh no no A little bitty popping bugs

Yeah but that takes too long Too long It really does You know because you got to You know We're doing a fly rod Yeah Yeah yeah

It's too long And it takes you too long to get them in Because you got a hand Oh but it's fun It is fun Them things fight Like nobody's business But just think about it

Just because it was literally millions of brim. I know what you're talking about. April and May. That's when they do that. Oh, no. It's a, Mayfly, okay.

Yeah. When the mayflies come out, what do they do? They actually, they lay their eggs on the limbs and backwater. Yeah. And then when they actually hatch out,

it's literally millions of them just start flying around and look, they mate. And then after they made, they're dying following water. Feed the fish. That's why they're here. To feed the fish. Yeah.

The almighty feeding his creation. I was wondering why they was here. Oh, no. And that's all they're far. They feed the fish. Yeah. That's all their far. That's why it's called fly fishing.

You know, I was at Fort Devons. When May, the day that all the May flies hatched out, you know, and started their deal, I'm wading in a creek up there. I had an artificial mayfly on my fly ride And you caught zip No No I had

I had an artificial mayfly You had the real I had the bait I shouldn't know of them But hey I did not catch a one And I literally I'll tell you I saw millions

Millions brother Okay Well we got to I'm talking about some big ones We're going to take our last break And we'll get in that hello at Duck hall room when we get back. Yeah, it already went by a mailbag.

All right, where are we at? And who were we with? Are you ready? Right here, and I'm with y'all. All right, where's... Well, I don't know, but who we're with there? And where he's at? I don't know.

I don't actually know where this one's from, but Josh... Josh. Josh, I don't know his last name. That's a good name. If that's his last name that I'm reading, I can't pronounce that anyway. Okay. But I don't really do last name. Anyway, Josh emails in.

He works for a lawn care company and he listens to us all while riding the lawnmower. Thank you, Josh. Thanks for listening, Josh. But he's wanting a little bit of guidance regarding some stuff. Don't run over that. Number one, what's the stuff? Don't run over that rose bush. That's right.

Hey, that's right. Don't go through the fire guard. You'll make that woman mad. All right, so here's the deal. He fell in love with a wonderful woman, got married about two. years ago. She had two children. Son's 12, daughter's 20. He's very close to his stepson.

Hangs out with him a lot. His stepdaughter's already grown, so she's not in the house. He was raised, Christian. He'd been a believer as long as he can remember. However, his new family didn't really practice

a lot of he puts religion. They share the same moral values and they're real good people but his wife not a Christian he's scared he's trying to figure out what to do his stepson

likes the Bible he says prayers at dinner but he just feels like they can't take that next step from good person to Christian first question what are you scared of that they're not Christians. Okay. Well, hey.

He wants them in heaven. Well, no, no, no. That's why you was put in this position, sir. There it is. Yep. No, no, I'm serious. I love that. God moved in mysterious ways.

Okay. And a lot of people don't realize this. God sends people to Pacific people for Pacific reasons. Okay. You, sir, have been. chosen, okay, to guide your family to where you want them to be. Okay, and all you've got to do now is, okay, you choose your method. You already said they had good morals.

Okay, so all you got to do now is, hey, you could say, pick up your cross and follow me. That's what Jesus tells us. or you can do it, you know, whatever way that you feel comfortable doing it. But that's what you've been chosen for. Yeah, and I think he's down with that. I think the tough part and what he's kind of looking for. He's not patient. You just got to, you just have to get up and go to church on Sundays, Wednesdays, whenever y'all meet.

Just get up. I asked them to go. If they don't want to go, don't push them. Just let them say God through you. There you go. And before long, she'll follow you to heaven. Yeah, and that's, it is a, I've noticed in life, it's way easier to tell what I would, I don't want to say a bad person,

but, you know, someone at the bottom of the rope, someone who's been through a lot, someone who's struggling really bad with something, you can tell them about Jesus, and it sounds, way better. But the people are like, I'm a good person. I don't do a lot of bad things. They're tough because they're tough to convince or to show like, hey, there's a better, there's an even better way than just being a good person.

I was just saying, when people say that, okay, and I've said it myself, I think of myself as a good person. But here's the thing. you're not good enough. Okay, you need to remember this. You may be a good person, but when it comes right down to it, you're not good enough

because, hey, it only takes one thing, doing one thing wrong, and you're lost. And we're not good enough. Okay, that's why Jesus coming down to this earth and did what he did is so important. important. Okay. He is good enough. Okay. And he's willing, like I say, I want to go, in and of myself, I have no righteousness. Okay. The Savior who is overflowing with it, okay,

is good enough to cover anything I can ever do. He's got enough righteousness to cover. He's got enough all my stupid mistakes. Okay? And he's willing to do it. That's the great part about this. So, hey, don't ever get down on yourself, you know, because, hey, he's the one that can do it. All you got to do is submit yourself to him.

And he'll take care of the rest of it. And I think Godwin absolutely nailed it, too, with patience. Well, that's because Ms. Paula, you ain't going to tell her what to do. So you got patience? But if she sees you living out what you're talking about, she's going to follow you. A woman wants to be led, wants a spiritual leader. She'll follow you. Once she sees you're living, what you're talking.

and it ain't no joke. She'll follow you to heaven. Well, that's the problem we have. Can you walk to walk and talk to talk? They got to match. Yep. Okay. And if you don't, here's the other thing, okay.

It's so much easier to live a Christian life, okay, if you surround yourself with others of like mind. That's right. Okay. If you're running with the heathens, you're running with the wrong crowd. You're going to be known by who you run with. You'll be known by who you associate with, okay?

So, hey, surround yourself with good people. And like John said, hey, take them to church. Okay, you can't force them, okay, but you lead by example. Right. Okay. so you know that's about what we've got what you know it's been said okay you was chosen to do this okay and like I said you used the method you feel comfortable with okay and hey got to do the rest

I love it all right I'm gonna lead us out of here with a little Bible verse about hope and patience because that just fits right into that Romans 8 24 and 25 for in this hope we were saved but hope that is seen is no hope at all who hopes for what they already have but if we hope for what we do not yet have we wait for it patiently in the same way the spirit helps us in our weakness we do not know what we ought to pray for but the spirit himself intercedes us intercedes for us translator there it is so you wait god knows the spirit knows you just wait patiently man and you keep living it out and I think you're going to have great results.

That's right. And we wish you the best. And we'll see you in heaven. That's it. And we'll see you next time right here in the duck call room. We go. Love y'all.
