I think we got to open this up today requesting assistance from our listeners. Listeners, we've got a dispute. There's a situation. There's a situation brewing. We've got a dispute, and we need y'all's help to tell us what this animal is. And we're going to put it on our TV, but I think the powers that be here will put it into the actual YouTube deal so you can see it a little more clearly. Okay. Let me zoom out.

But we're going to look at it on our TV for right now. There's the trail cam picture. So this picture, I went and checked my deer cameras this morning on my mineral sites. And this picture came, I think, from three nights ago on Phil's property. I'd say 30 yards from the river. What is it? I know what it is. I do, too.

It's a big cat. It is. Okay. Here's the funny part. to meet. His first name is Bob. You can't see. No, his first name is not Bob.

Thank you. Hey. What the funny part is, though, is that tree covers up that long tail that's coming down and going to the ground. Well, if it does, that tail is straight up in the air. No, it ain't. He ain't no bird dog. Hey, he ain't no bird dog.

That's a big cat. I say, okay, Martin says, I say that cat would weigh all right at $250. going toward 300. Okay. Okay. Martin says that is a bobcat and that would be the incorrect answer for this because, hey, the head on that thing

is not shaped anything like a little bobcat's head. I didn't say he was a little bobcat. I said he was a biggin. Oh, no, no, no. The head is wrong. I mean state record that ain't him. And that's another thing. At first I said he was

a puma. But hey, you don't I don't think he's a Puma anymore? No, no. I take that back since J.D. Put the Puma up there, okay? The Puma. This is, we're going to have to go further to South, boys. He's not a mountain line.

In my humble opinion, okay? He's not the mountain line, okay? No mountain line. This is the Mexican jaguar, and he just don't happen to be black. But he is, if you look at his coat. What is that? He is spotted. That's not what he is.

Is that a jaguar? That is a, yes, sir. I'm with. Hey, what we're looking at on the screen down there on Phil's property is a Mexican Jaguar. Hey, if you started playing Mexican music, he had tap dance for you. Okay, trust me. So we were only lacking a mariachi band. I'm going with Jaguar.

That's it, boys. It looks like this picture to me, which is what I found when I googled Mexican Jaguar. It's a bad camera, and there's little spots right here. Just like a bobcat. Where's the picture of the Bobcat? I don't have a picture of Bobcat. Those don't exist on Google? No, they don't.

Okay, so, no. No, no, let's put it up. That thing's too big to be a bobcat. No. I see bobcats all the time while I'm deer hunting. And trust me, we've got a big one down there on Fields property. And that's him. No, that ain't him.

That's him. That ain't him. Okay. Hey. Nope. Wrong answer. Go ahead put that little, little bitty small thing up there. That's not a bobcat.

That's not a bobcat. That's a link. some sort. That's a bobcat. Get out of here. Not a bobcat. That's a I mean, that's the third building, Google, what are you doing? Well, that don't matter. Put another one. That ain't him. That's another one. Get us a regulation

bobcat. Don't be looking for the picture that tells your story better. Get us a picture. That ain't him either. Also, not a bobcat. What? Okay. That's the northern links. What is the bobcat then? Why are you so scared to put a picture of an actual bobcat

up there beside it? He can't find one. I don't guess. Because Bobcat. I'm not scared to put it up there. Trust me. That cat right there is not a Bobcat. Now that's a Bobcat. Zoom in on.

I can't zoom in on it. Oh, my good. Hold on. You're really good at the Internet, but you're failing to do. At Bobcat. When I need something off the Internet, I actually call you. Hold on. But this is your poorest performance.

Here's the question. Okay. What? Here's the question. You know, what would you estimate that cat's weight? that. About 75 pounds. I'm going to say 175 pounds because it is a jaguar. That's 200 plus if it weighs an ounce. Hey, his head

weighs 50 pounds for crying out loud. This is why I love hunting stories. I love trail. Here's a decent There you go. That's him. Look at his tail. Look at his tail. Look at his tail. Look at but look at his legs. Look at the little spots on his legs it magically stopped. Yeah, but hey look at the size and that. That thing looked like kitty cat compared to that big cat I'm looking at there in that photo. Oh my goodness. Now that might be a baby.

That might be a baby bobcat. No, that's a mid-age one. That's a two, three-year-old one. Well, how long, how? That one out there, he's king of the jungle. That bobcat? You want to know why? Yeah.

Because he's closer to a life. That's right. That's right. King of the jungle. Oh, my God. Folks, folks. I wish we had a Marchi-Argy band. Hey.

Well, the good news is, Hey, the good news is when I pulled my camera this morning, when that picture came up, I thought, uh-oh. It's going to start again, boy. Oh, yeah, this is your camera. Oh, well, you, never mind. But then I kept scrolling, and then I got another picture of that cat. Yeah.

I don't have that picture. You don't have that one? I need to send that one to you. Oh, boy. But before you do, Yep. Is it clear? Is it clearer than this one?

I just want you wager. on the table before we see this other one. This is our... Because the other one I have a feeling since Stone's holding it out will prove what this is once and for all. Okay. So how much you got? Honda?

No. Okay, hold up. Before he shows the second picture... I bet you five, though. Five? So, Si, I sent that picture to Jace. Yeah, what did Jay's say? He responds,

Ha, it's a bobcat, but there's a lot of ways I can see Cy claiming Panther. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think it's a Jaguar. It's a bobcat. All right. Those spots on the legs give it away.

Yeah, this is this the... I have the other picture. Well, I want to, let's save that for like our next break, because I want the people at home to weigh in on this. Before we go to the answer. So you've seen the answer. I'm not. I've kind of seen it.

Don't spoil. The answer is not, I would say, 100%. Yeah. It's 95. No. No. No. I don't know.

Tagwire. Don't show it to him. Oh, no, no. I ain't worried about seeing another one. Okay. Hey, I don't have to go to the other one. Why not? Okay, because what I'm looking at right there is not a bobcat.

Can we bring up one other? You're right. It's a picture of a bobcat. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, you got to, you know, I brought a magnifying glass where I could get, minute details of this sucker, okay? What were you using the magnifying glass on? Inspector Gadget.

Show us that magnifying glass one more time. Let's see what you got. He actually brought that. I actually brought it and looked at it and looked at them ears, okay? Look how big his nose is. God. Can I see it? Yeah.

You're welcome to see it. So you, to look. Oh, yeah. I looked at his head. Okay. Well, why didn't you just zoom in? Zooming in don't get it. Okay.

Hey, right there, hold it, right there. Zoom in, don't get it. You say you do not see any spots on that high. There's spots all kind of, let me look with my magnifying. That stops suspiciously around his bottom of his torch? Oh, no, no, no. Hey, I'm telling us spots over his entire body. Oh, Lord.

I have more questions about the magnifying glass than I do the panther. Yeah, where did you get that? My wife used the cysts. For what? To read the real fine print on. stuff that she buys because they've printed so you can't read it, especially elderly people.

Yeah, so do we. It says prop 65 due to the state of California. This may cause reproductive harm. I mean, yeah, we print that too. Unbelievable. I can't believe y'all when y'all look at that picture and then you look at a picture of a bobcat's

head. Here's what I'm saying. That's you're saying, oh no, that's exactly like that picture of that bobcat's head. Here's what I'm saying. I've hunted in Wyoming for the past nine years. This will be my ninth year come September. I've seen a few mountain lines. He's taller

than him. That's not a very tall animal. He's a little short wheelbase. He's not very tall. I mean, that's a log laying flat on the ground. He's not very much taller there. Zoom out a little bit. Okay. Here's the deal. He's not a very tall animal. No, no. Here's the thing.

How high would you say that is? To what? To the top of his back? To the top of his back. About my waist. So I'm 34, I'm about 34, 36 length. That's three foot. Where are you going? He's leaving.

Ladies and gentlemen. That's three foot to the ground. So you're telling me. No, I got short legs. You got long leg. No. And you got shoes on. I'm saying he's three foot to the top of his back.

Can they hear, sir? No. I can hear him. You ain't never seen a bobcat that tall. I'll translate into the microphone. Okay. And then not on that. And then not only that, I wish I had.

So you could go around that sucker? Okay. There's only one thing left to do. Wack him. Oh, I'm going to kill him. Wack him. Y'all going to force me to kill that sucker if I ever see him. It's legal.

Wack him. Hey. Once hunting season open? Oh, yeah. Well, look, they eat. Their favorite meal is white-tailed fawls. Well, hi, if he ever walks out there, that one walks. walks out there, he's getting shot.

That 35 whaling or either my 6.5 creed morph. Yeah. If they can put a hole in his body. There you are. Look at that cute look. Yeah. That thing about three months old. That's not the same animal.

That's just not, that doesn't grow into that. Oh, Lord. All right. Hey, time out, whatever. We're going to have to look. Here's the deal. Okay. We're going to take our first break.

Let's take our first break. We're going to agree to dissoning. No, after the break, we're going to look at the picture, the other picture. That proves nothing. We'll be back right after this. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means?

That means more outside cooking. And y'all know, we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Triedells, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the groceries. store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day.

And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door.

We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I 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 Triedails beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat eater, folks.

Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some damn. good steak. No, that can't be. That can't be true. This one's 63. 63.

Yeah, you're getting up there now. 70 pounds. 70 pounders. What does that guy got right there? A bobcat. I got this one's worth pulling up too. All right. Here we go.

Okay. Let me get this. Wait, which picture are we going with first? So here's the world record Bobcat. That's a dang big. Whoa. Now put him up. Now go down below.

I'm trying to, I wish I could. There you go. I wish I was good at Photoshop. Right there. Right there. Just leave it down below. look that's about the same side yeah so we got the world record bobcat over there

and what do you weigh that one's 63 pounds allegedly I said 75 so look it's summertime he's probably he may have just got through eating a deer phone now what you think what's you think huh that's a big big cat there mm-hmm is that a okay yeah that is a bobcat below and above I think it's a jaguar oh whatever now let's see the other picture

all right stone's other trail cam picture Just the other picture. Go to the other picture. There we go. Survey says. Oh, okay. You ain't zoomed in on this one. Zoom in.

I tell you. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. That's a little bitty tail. Uh-oh.

No, no, no, no. There ain't no a little bitty tail. That's a little bitty tail. Okay. Look at that. You see something that runs down and then, but when the tree stops, that tail keeps going. Thank you. The end of every bobcat's tail is jet black.

What's at the end of that right there? A shadow. Oh, my God. That is, it's being cast from the tree onto the middle of that Jaguar's tail. You boys need to go work for seeing him. No, no, no. You won't even believe what your eyes are showing. Oh, no, no, no, no.

Here's the thing. Here's the thing. You all have done, you. You all have done force me. That cat better not walk out in front of me during their season. Because if he does, he dies. Okay. I think he's 50-50.

I'm going to bring him in here and talk about, hey. Now, I've identified him because I've put him on the ground, and it ain't a bobby. Look, here's the deal. If you whack him. Oh, I am. I will pay to have him mounted. Amen. So I can sit him right here, and you can stare at what's wrong with you for the rest of the time.

That's it. That way he can sit right there and look. We're going to put him on his haunches. You're going to find that. It ain't the bobcat. Oh, my. Is it legal to mount a jaguar? Who don't?

Yeah, sure. As long as you don't go get it from the zoo. Hey, this is what tickles me about this whole setup, though. Is that tree is perfectly situated, okay? Yeah. Where you really can't say yay or nay. Okay, I'm serious. You really can't.

There is no clear end of this tale. No. It don't just stop and then there's a dark place. Nope. It's running and, hey, then the tree gets in the way. It's funny. to make it. But hey, still,

that's a big cat. Oh, yeah. That's a big cat. No, that's a, I don't care who you are. And I could be wrong, but I, hey,

I'll go to my grave saying, that ain't a bobcat. That ain't a bobcat. But there's a lot of things you go to your grave, saying that we know it's 95% true. You know, because I'm looking at how big

that Joker is. Yeah, he's big. But look, here's the about trail cameras and what people don't know, everything at night looks bigger. on a trail. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Everything at night looks bigger than what it is. Jay's tried that with got Johnny Gallard. Okay, Tom, no, at 12 noon, if you get far enough away, it'll look black. Now, I'm just saying, no. That's bull. Because, see, look, here's what you have on trail cameras at night. You got an infrared flash, and you see that shadow behind him. You can't really see the shadow, but it makes him appear bigger than what it.

That's why, like, if you see a picture of a deer at night, and you're like, holy crap, that's a big. And then you go see him the next day during the daylight, and you're, you're like, oh, man, he ain't as big as I thought he was. Yeah. Happens every time. Ground shrinkage. Ground shrinkage on nighttime trail camera photography. Oh, yeah.

100%. I've heard all that crap before. So what you're saying is the shadow. And every time I've shot something, I don't know if I wasn't on ground shrinkage. I suck a weight 300 pounds. You wait 300 pounds. Okay. That's what I said when I said.

I got a feeling, oh, you like our man, our cameraman that says he hit the ball 300 yards when it was only 260. 300 pounds to you and 300 pounds me is a lot different. Who said that? Hunter. Oh, no. Yeah.

But it's the same deal. Like, just because you can't pick it up don't mean it's 300 pounds. It's because I used to pick up 260. No. It's still weigh 260. You just can't pick it up no more. A 300 pound deer down here is a dang big.

I ain't never picked up 300 pounds and I ain't never even gazed you by that. Okay. I just look and say, hey, hey, it takes three guys to put him in the back of my pickup. Yeah. He weighed 300 pounds. Yeah. I've killed some big and. with some tall fences around them and don't none of the way three hundred pounds.

Oh, that took away three hundred pounds. He couldn't even move him. I will admit. Okay. I will admit. Was he about 230? Freakish, freakishly large animal. But that deer had been denatted.

Hey, he looked like a black angus cow. Oh, yeah. When it come out, I thought that's for state record. Yeah, the only reason he shot him is he knew the size, because he couldn't see the horns. It was, you know, his horns were like curly cute. Yeah, devil, devil horns.

It was, it was, it was, I would say a 270 pound animal. Oh yeah, castration. At least. Yeah. Castration got him. It was a steered.

Something in the woods. Oh, fence. A fence most likely. Oh, yeah. He also had big tumors all over his neck. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he'd had a rough life. Oh, yeah.

He didn't kill it. Yeah. You didn't need him, did you? Oh, yeah, I gave, well, I gave him. meat away. He gave him the red. Yeah. Oh,

that's that ain't no big deal. He was sick? No, ain't a big deal. He's better than the other meal they had. Look, Jimmy Redden him eating anything. Anything in the wild better than what you buy. But what if it?

Okay. It had tumors on it. No, you just cut them off as long as I ain't in the meat. Yeah, I cut all the tumors off. Yeah. Yeah. Now, if you open him up and he's got like a green, yellow pussy infection. No, it wasn't none of that.

You get rid of that. No, the meat looked fine. Meat was fine. Yeah, meat was fine. I wouldn't have pawned that off on nobody. I've killed a few of them that's been in fights and got bad infected. You know, apparently it's like soft. Can't anything do about him.

Go on them way. No, but this thing, I got a picture of them on the camera and I thought, boy, that's the biggest dough I've ever seen. And I showed size. I said, no, no, that's a devil deer right there. The devil buck. He had spikes. One of them was a curlicue, and they were pointed straight back like a billy goat. And I'm going to tell you.

He's been on that same feed bag as that bobcat. Oh, no, no, no, no. He's hanging out with the doves. Hanging out with the girls. Well, he thought he was one. He was one of the doves. So when I shot him, I grabbed him by the high and legs because it wasn't no horse a grab hole to, and I tried to pull.

I could not move that thing one inch. That's a big one. Hey, his head, I'm telling you, he looked like a black angus cow. Oh, yeah. He showed me coming out when he shot him. Do you know any other color animal other than black? Black Angus, black panthers? Hey, look, I'm just saying,

black lads. Hey, when he come out, that's what he looked like was a black angus cow. I said, okay, right there looks like a bow. I told him a bull. I said, hey, you didn't see the horns on that deer. I said, you shot that deer because he was so big.

He said, well, you're right. A black angus cow. That's a big one. He tastes good, too. His head was behind a limb. Yeah. He come out with his head first. I thought it was a giant.

Oh, you would have thought it was a cow. I'm telling you. You thought. Just like you think that's something other than a bobcat. Hey, I'm telling you. No, hey, that's a good picture of a black hangous bull. That's a big. That was a deer looked like that.

Huh? Oh, his head. Oh, it was weird. It was weird. It was weird. He's got the video because he's coming. This week on Trail Camp Diaries. Oh, yeah.

Brought to you. Hey, you got to back it up, boys. This week on Trail Camp Confessions. That's right. I like that. This is unbelievable. I love trail cameras, though. All I get on.

I don't know if I'll be able to shoot him. Who? That big cat. Yeah, because you don't want to have to sit here and stare at it. Well, no, no, I don't want to have to. I need you to shoot him. That don't bother. He's just so pretty.

He is majestic. Okay. I give him, man. He's the biggest one I've ever seen. He goes there. The biggest bobcat I ever seen. Technical difficulty. He's a bigin.

He's sending over here. I'm sitting it to you. It's coming. You got to send it. Uh-oh. The devil deer. You got to put it up. You got to put it up.

The devil deer is? Yeah, you got to put it. Let's look at this devil. Stone's sitting in me all sorts of great pictures. Right. Now, look, that first picture is the coolest trail cam pick I've ever got. Oh. That's a hawk.

That's a hawk. Now, the second one was that, was that giant spike, me and Sauer, talking about earlier. I got too many pictures. You got too many pictures. You ain't got it up yet. The hawk. He's gone. There's the hop.

Yep, he's gone. That's pretty awesome. Oh, my goodness. Jay? Let's look at the devil deer. Look at the devil deer. Look at that thing. Yeah, look like a dang stag.

He looked like a elk head. He looked like a cow, I'm telling you. It looked like a elk head. I'm going to try and get it around. Now put the next one up, now to tell you how big it is. Oh, my gracious. Biggest body white tail I've ever seen.

That's a big one. Anywhere. That's a big one. Now I can zoom in. It took three. That's what happens when you ain't got no horse. hormone running through your body. You just sit around and eat twink.

It took three of us. Getting all fat and sassy. Eating bread and desserts. Get fat. It took three of us. Hang it. And we barely got it. That is the grossest looking set of horns I've ever said.

Well, folks, before we go to our next break, though, you've seen both pictures now of the cat. Yeah. What is it? It's a jaguar. What is it? I'm not asking you. I'm asking the folks. Folks, what is?

That's a folks. Who are you team Martin and Stone? Stone, do you think it's a bobcat? Just Bobcat. Okay. Stone is never clear. Are you team right, which would be Martin and Stone? Or are you team wrong, which could be any other cat than known as John David and Sy?

Si did say it was twice as big as what I thought, though. Big. I think it's about a 150-pound jaguar. So I said 250. So I said 250. Two-hundred-a. Cy for Sy's reference, me and John David both are about two-fitty. Yeah.

Just for size. Well, you hang both of you up. Okay. Hang him on one side, hang you on another. And put that cat in the middle. And it would be pretty close, boys. Mm. All right. Let's take our second break. We'll be back right after you. Hey, that's what's so fun about, you know,

going and getting a trail camp. No, forget that. You don't ever. When they text you. No, no. You don't ever know what it is. Look at this, though. What?

We just got a picture of a Black Panther in the emails. Oh, baby. It's a baby going to a mineral site I mean he just sent that Juvenile That cat ain't as big as that mineral block That's more sweet candy Maybe that's something we should do too

Hey folks if you have unidentified Trail camera pictures you'd like us to weigh in I'll send them to John Day Oh I like that This is gonna be fantastic That was Jacob that was Jacob that Thank you for the mysterious panther For the baby black panther

Going to a soft block I thought that was a stupid dog It was a cat. I thought it was a dog. I was going to say cowlady. Oh, my favorite. I just glanced at it. Oh, my.

I didn't got to where the point in my life. I enjoy checking the cameras and planting the food plots more than I do actual deer hunt. Amen. I do like. Trail cameras can become like an addiction if you're not careful. Especially now that they text you. Let me read. They send them straight to your phone.

Oh, yeah. You got some of them? Yeah, I got some of them. This. What happened? Well, unidentified. We got unidentified. Well, look, we've done.

Undertinify. Last one. Last one. Last one. Oh. I don't know what that is. It's in the Florida panhandle. Wait.

No, no. No, there are Panthers in Florida. But that ain't. But not, not that. That is the house cat. I don't know what that is. It's like an auto. That one needs a flea collar.

I don't know what that is. But, hey, that's from the police right there. That is from. Chief Jake. Thanks, Chief. From the Panhandle of Florida. Chief Jake, you quit drinking on a job. He says it's called a carabel cat.

Carabelle. And they're 60 to 70 pounds. That one ain't. And black, orange, and yellowish colors. Some say it's a jaguar and panther mix. Florida's a weird place. So to be a police officer in Florida, I'm sure you've seen some stuff. Well, who knows on that deal?

That could be somebody doesn't turn. Now, Florida is bad about getting exotic pets and turning them loose. They're bad about that. I don't know why those folks in Florida's bad. Especially in the snake family. Well, we can't say nothing. We had to bow a constrictor loose around here. Oh, yeah.

It is what it is. They got that thing. Yeah, that's good. No, but look, we got more Louisiana news. I think you need to inform Sai what happened. Si, do you know what happened this weekend? No. The spelling bee, which we've talked about before, was held

Maybe Deppreter Depreter Depreter Depreter all I'm saying Louisiana guy to Louisiana girl. If you want this chair when we get yours.

Because I'd love to see you versus Sy's heads up in spelling dominoes and something. I want to... Leave out the spelling. Go to the dominoes, boys. Where's he from? Harvey. That way I'll have a change. Beneath New Orleans. Yeah, down around New Orleans.

I think that's part of the West Bank, which is really confusing because it's east. Yeah. But it's on the West Bank of the River. The River. I think. I don't know. I was a got into them pickles, boys. They did. He can't get off of them. He can't get off the pickles.

But that is awesome. Oh, and then another Louisiana thing happened this weekend, but I can't talk about it. So anybody else want to talk about it? Oh, are you talking about our man from Lafayette? Yeah. Beating an Irish one? Oh, yeah.

For all you McGregor fans that say he broke his own leg, oh, well, a L is an L. Mr. Porier still won, or however you say his last name. I worked very hard on not. seeing a picture of that man with two knees on his leg because that's what it looks like now yeah because you're not your leg's not supposed to bend in the middle of the shin it's not supposed to go that way and whenever i see those things i almost show sigh no no is that one we ever done before no this just happened Saturday night about midnight yeah so they broke her leg again yeah he

stepped back and his leg goes no he stepped backer and his leg just crumbled under him like I think that means you're getting too much but you know what the cool thing I think about it is two of the greatest fighters who ever lived are from Lafayette. Who's the other one? The whole girl. Daniel Cormier. Oh, okay. D.C.

Then, hey, maybe the greatest of all the time. Them Cajuns is a rough bunch. Oh, yeah. You don't want to mess with them. And Lafayette has a Popeye's buffet. They do have a Popeye's Buffet. Right in the middle of the switch there.

Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Oh, really? Popeye's Buffet? Oh, here we're going on that, boys. You can go up there and get all the spicy thighs you want to eat. I don't know. Not that I've been there. If COVID took it out.

I will drive to Lafayette three hours just for that Popeye's buffet. Well, the problem is, before you get to the buffet, you start to get you a little warm up on some Boudan. Yeah. And then you hit them cracklings on the way out. You know, New Orleans has good food, but Lafayette is better. Yeah. I like Lafayette.

Real authentic, real authentic Cajun food. Yeah. Not a chef's interpretation of Cajun. That's right. Yeah. No, I'm talking about home cooks. Like, Cajun food is best from a home cooked, not in a restaurant. 100%.

I mean, Mr. Foles, when he comes up to Willis and does that. Silly what he does. But what I'm saying is he's a chef that is a home cook with Cajun food that's fantastic, not the catered events whenever he does the smaller deals. Well, John Fulce is from New Orleans, born and raised, didn't he? Yeah. So he may technically be Creole. I'm not sure which one.

There's a lot of difference down there. He's from St. James Parish. Which one's that? Not sure. I get confused when you get down in amongst all in. Yeah. Yeah, it's to the left. Some call it west.

But no, Lafayette. Hey, Lafayette, just call yourself Louisiana Lafayette. Oh, don't get me started. Instead of just Louisiana. You can get to folks in our state confused. So. We're like, we're the University of Louisiana, and they leave off the last part of the sense. But they are the raging Cajuns, so good for them.

No, Lafayette, we salute Zala. congratulations. Mr. Porreier, congratulations. Louisiana is showing out right now. We're going to rule the world. That's awesome. Yeah. All right.

We'll be back right after this. American men experiencing friendship recession? What does that even mean? American men are having a hard time making. I'm a single digit, man. I keep my friends in the single digits. Keep it.

When I get into double digits, I start culling. If you can't keep them on one hand, you got trouble. So Willie sent me an article from FoxNews.com, American men experiencing friendship recession report. The Survey Center on American Life found that only 27% of men have at least six close friends. I mean, I know Jesus had 12, but. Yeah, but he was starting something. Six.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, he really had to get the word out. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I mean, he had. He has something bigger. I'm reading this. And it only took 12 of them.

Why would you need more than six friends? Why do you need six? How many do you need? And here's the bad part about what you were talking about. What's that? They still miss Jesus. Yeah. Men have at least down, we're down 55%.

Apparently people in 1990 had a lot of friends. Yeah. That's because. But what's a close? friend. How close is too close? I think I'd have to refer to like on your phone you go to your favorites

most. Okay. Let's see. Now some of these. Is Willie my friend or my boss? He might be both. I think he's both. He's on my favorites, Lou. He's on mine. You know, I've got on my, now, let me take out family here. Mine's mainly family.

Oh, okay. crud. I've only got three close friends if we take out family. One of them's my boss. Let's not take out family. Take out my family and I got six on there. That's about right. That's about right. The report suggested.

Hey, the good news is you actually make it even though you think we're not friends. You're all my favorites. See, look at there. This is a good one. I got my wife. Yeah, mine's on there. Jace. You need to bump him down.

Yeah, he's suspect. He's suspect. I'm, but cams right there at number three. He's not in plastic motors. Oh, well, hey. Hey, cam. Yeah, he's got to be a friend. Oh, yeah.

And I got Steve Lyle number four. He helps with the, uh, uh, the duck call barrels. The barrel, the barren, high end barrels. Yeah. So my, my three and four are for duck call. Oh, look, I got father-in-law beat. That's awesome.

Hey, I got Al beat. Godwin, Martin, and Al. And then we got Phil's house and Memo okay and Uncle Si. There you go. I got like four numbers for Sai every time it's Russian roulette if I pick the right one. I mainly just see Sioux of me. I ain't got but two. Who you got on speed dial, Si?

Oh, I ain't got a speed dial. How do you call somebody? You tell Christine the dial it? When you go to make a phone call, how do you call? I just don't call anybody. But you've called me before. Did you have to get your woman to dial? No, I have that.

I got your number, Stone's number. Philip. I don't have dummies number here. Plus, hey, he's like Willie. I wouldn't ever get him on the phone anyway. That's not true. He'd ask you. Oh, he would if you'd answer.

Oh, yeah. That's a better way of it. You know, it's terrible when you can't even get your nephew on the phone. That's why Kay calls me all the time. Yeah. Kay calls me once a week. Hey, where's Willie at? And I'm like, I'm not sure.

Oh, the only time I see Willie, I had to get in my pickup truck and go to his gate. And then sometimes he'll let you in. Say, hey, let me in. I need to talk to you. Yeah. So look, I don't have, I'm not

normal. I don't have six. Yeah. I don't know that that, I mean, so. Oh, wait a, I left out one other one. I got,

I got half of that. I got three. Phillip. Phillip? Yeah, y'all too. Yeah. Okay.

Can't count Stone because he's family. See, but I think that's, I think that's the problem. They're not counting family. Yeah. Yeah. But if you look at the bottom of your favorites.

I consider a fat boy, you know, he's a friend. And he's family. Oh, yeah. And he's both. So if you get look at the bottom of your favorite list, those are your newly acquired friend. Those are ones trying to work their way up. That's it.

Or they're there and I just haven't bumped anybody off yet. But that's a good way to do it. Look at your favorites and go from there. So according to the center, the friendship recession trend is rooted in lower religious involvement, lower marriage rates, and greater geographic mobility. So people can travel. And people aren't getting married and people aren't going to church. But I think we need to qualify, though, like. Because is my wife, my friend?

Because I like her more than all, yeah. But not only that, I have a bunch of people I consider friends necessarily that are really more like. acquaintances like we're very friendly to each other yeah we text from time to time but but they're not all they're not a friend but but they're not who I tell like hey man I need some advice there's only like or whatever or somebody's going to call me for advice like there's that's a small that's a small little group that knows just about everything that goes on in my life like you know but I have a lot of people that I'm I'm friends with but that aren't in my inner circle so it's like a I would say that's the question what is

this saying is a close, because I would think as a close friend, like, you know everything about me. You have to define what a close friend. You're who I go to for problems. Like, you shouldn't have more than a handful of those. If you're telling the whole world your problems, then it's going to get rid of. Well, and you can't maintain those relationships.

You can't give as much as you get and all that if you have too many of those. I mean, that's intended to be tight. True friends are the ones that know your faults. Yeah. And they still hang with you. Amen. And I got plenty of people I like hanging out with that, I mean, but they don't, they're not me and Martin close or me and my buddy Drew close.

Yeah, absolutely. And I still like you. Oh, 100%. But I got one eye on you. Yeah. But, yeah. Or you could say your true friend is the one that shows up at your house when you're dying. That's true.

Yeah. And then, but if you're not a true. And then when we talk about it, I found that. Hey, then he calls you a liar. But if I say, but if you're not a true friend, he'll lie to you. If you're a true friend, he tells you the truth. That's why I didn't move in.

Well, hey, a true friend may have been thinking he was telling the truth. Amen. And may not have been doing it. No, a true friend knows better than that. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. That is funny, though. I mean, but I think their reasoning for a lot of that is probably correct, though.

I mean, I think that. Well, it also says the. workplace has an offense which that's a that's a weird one to me because we're all friends here we're friends with people that worked here and been gone but we're one of the few that through everything that happened we still work together like we didn't move out and go home yeah we didn't so it said americans work longer hours switch jobs more often and increasingly avoid coming to the office at all amen so we all come we enjoy coming to work because we hang out we never stopped coming to Yeah.

Well, no, no. We talk about a 48-hour pause, where it's like, but then we're like, man, we got a bunch of POs coming for that call. We got a ride, ride. Everybody wash your hands, boys. Wash your hands, disinfect them, let's go. Either you believe in the resurrection or you don't. Yeah. Amen.

Thank you. Amen to that. Hey, it goes back to, hey, you don't want to miss Jesus. No. Not at all. I had a good lesson on Sunday back. Yeah, he did. Hey, don't miss the point.

And the point is, Jesus. Well, you know, they had the kids in the auditorium now because the summer, they don't have the kids classes during big church. So Sage was in there with. She's a six-year-old. You know, she's something. I would say rambunctious.

The blonde tornado. Blind tornadoes with psychos. So she's sitting there. She's never heard her pap preach before. So we're sitting there and Al gets up there. And she said, hey, there's Pap. and then she said, where's my coloring book? I got to tell where's the color and books.

No, I got a time to listen to that. I have to listen to him all the time. I want to listen to him here. Oh, that's funny. That's good stuff. It is fun. If your grandpa's a preacher, I grew up with a preacher grandpa. That was kind of cool to sit there and watch.

My grandpa was the song leader. Yeah. And I don't know why I can't sing. You were coloring? I can't. I think neither. Yeah, that stinks. I was a lot like saying, though.

But he had a band. Right. And I made some good money. Amen. Preach it, son. I actually found that T-shirt the other day, Uncle Si and the Sy Connics. I got the T-shirt. Is it the one with a straight jacket?

Cy and a straight jacket? I don't know. That's why I ended all my performances. They brought me out in a straight jacket. Oh, that's where you messed up. You should have started in it and then broke out of it. Oh, I got out of it. I was cleaning out my closet.

I found a drawer full of Duck Dynasty T-shirts, and most of them are just size face. They put my face on everything. I got a Merry Christmas shirt with Size face. With the Christmas light? With, like, stuff in his beard. Yeah, Christmas lights. I thought about wearing it today.

I got here. I'm on that bag. I held on to that one. So you need to find you a big piece of cane and whip, whoever talked to you into starting that band. What are you doing it? I made some good money with that. He loved it.

He loved it. It's banned. Hey, if the record label, you know, they let me down. They let him down, boy. They let me down, boy. Oh, well, look, let's take our last break. We'll be back. We're going to get in that mailbag. Get in the mailbag.

We're going to see what their fans been up to, boys. Johnny D. Wood is in that hello at duckcall room. com. J.com. What are the fans been up to, J.D? what are the fans been up to? They've been up to a lot of weird stuff

and a lot of good stuff. Well, hey, that fits right in with this bunch. So Jennifer. Jennifer? She didn't give me a town to mispronounce. Okay.

Asked the weirdest question we've ever got. Uh-oh. Jennifer, you've got the weirdest question. The weirdest question. Ever asked. Ever asked.

And I'm looking forward to this. It's weird. I just have no idea. Does anyone else think Martin looks like any guesses? Fine figure of a man. Travis Tritt.

Travis Tritt. What? Jennifer? Jennifer thinks I look like Travis Tritt. Jennifer thinks she looked. Put up a picture of Travis. Put him on the screen. We're about to prove this wrong.

Put Martin next to him. Ain't no way I look like. Look, if I do look like Travis Trit, I'm very flattered. Well, hey. But I don't think I do. Hey, no, the resemblance is there because of the size of your head. Okay. Okay.

I can go with that. He's got a big head too. Oh, that ain't me. Hey, yeah, it is. You got a mustache. He's got a mustache. But I ain't got no hair. I put a picture of Martin next to him.

You got a mustache. Yeah. Me and Travis end on the fact that we're both male. Hey, well, no, no, look at the eyebrows. Your eyebrows look the same. I can't see my eyebrows. What happens if you Google image search? No, no.

I'm serious. Hey, I want the denim jacket, Travis, though, if I'm going to be compared. Uh-oh. Okay. There he is. There is. There is. Right there.

You got that same look about you. That was from a few years ago. I like it. I like it. I see what they got it. Open image. I get it. Holy cow.

That's a fine figure of a man. God. I mean, just alike. I mean, very similar. Hey, all you need to be singing is, hey, here's a quarter. Call somebody who cares. There you go, baby. I can do this for 10 minutes.

Don't get. confused. I enjoy Travis Tripp because you know why, it's a great day to be alive. Oh, yeah. Hey. I mean, Travis Tritt, he had some good stuff back in the day. Oh, he did. He did. That's them number one. He kept that mullet going when people gave up on it.

Him and his buddy Marty Stewart had a big time back in the time. We already know how I feel about the mullet. Some ladies sent a picture of her kids with like skullets, though. That's a, oh. It was kind of awesome. I don't even know what skullets is. It's like when you have a mullet. You need it.

need a mirror. What do you mean? You got one. I got a skull. Oh, I got a skull. Hey, I got one. I don't even know what it is, boys. You just call it hair.

This needs to be shown. This has to be shown. Look at these children. Oh, that's a bad. Oh, yeah. I mean, look at those mollets. Oh, that is a sculletron. Oh, no.

Timeout. Hey, back in my day, we had the cool. No, forget that. Mo. picture back up there? Mohawk. Can we talk about another travisie in that picture? Mohawk.

Look back there behind that kid. What in the world is up with tie-died crocs? Tide crocs. Why in the world are we doing tie-died crocs? Don't send us pictures. Crocs. We will. Crocs.

Brittany refers to Crocs as like the greatest form of birth control ever made. Well, that was Jessica from Crippled Creek. That's what Brittany refers to Crock says. I've always agreed that they're terrible, but my niece has got me a pair of real tree crocks. I keep them by the door to take the dog out. That's right. They're wonderful.

But you don't wear them to work. Don't wear them to do anything productive. I'll fix that. Do you wear them and there's bumblebees around? You get your toes. And you end up a little sunburn circles on top of your feet if you wear them out there too long. That is it. So that was from Jessica.

That was her children from Cripple Creek, Virginia. I thought you were going to say Florida. No, Criple Creek. That kind of is wild. Imagine if you saw one of them kids on a trail camera. That hair cut in a pair of jorts and a cutoff t-shirt. That's what they got going on in Florida. And some candy saggarts.

That's all they're missing. Okay, boy. Okay. And then Hunter from Waco. Oh, Lord. I don't know how. Hunter from Waco, boy. We became the relationship experts.

Somewhere along, I guess it's because you made it 50 years. Hey, it's probably more Christian. And I'm married to a mean effort too. Hey, look, hey, I'm, that's a defeat. I'm telling you, boys. So he's asking what kind of advice or suggestions to, he's engaged and he's about to start planning his wedding for October 8th, 2022. Oh, Hammer, that's a long time for that.

That is a long time. I got one question. Are you rich? What's this suggestion? No, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'll tell you asking a suggestion for first. What's the question? For people that are about to get married.

I got this. Yeah, I got this. You are the male in this, you're going to be the man in this relationship. You don't have any business planning anything to do with a wedding. You let the woman handle every bit of it. And you plan the honeymoon. That's right. But if I could make one suggestion, bump it up a year.

Yeah, October 8. Well, they're young. They're only going to, they will be 21 when they get married in 2022. Okay, move it back six years. No, hey, kudos to anybody can get married that young. I couldn't have done it. I was way too selfish at that point of my life. So I couldn't do it.

I did it. Oh, I know. I'm a kudos to everybody that did it. I was like a young married child. But if I got married at 21, I'd have been divorced at 22. I'm going to ready there. I was too immature. Yeah.

Way too immature. Yeah, 100%. All right. And then I've got two here that I don't want to read, but one of them I just don't want to read because it's bad news. They're asking for prayers. Well, we can do that. And I just think it's important. We're all a family here.

Their son, Joshua, he's only nine years old. And he has been battling brain cancer. This is from Andrew and Julia. and so they're just working through all that. They've been battling it for two years, and he's active duty military, and he's about to retire. And so I just thought it was important.

I don't like that reading that, but I want just everybody listening to just pray for this family and Joshua especially who's been battling this. You know, that's a tough, tough place to be in. We just want you to know, we do love you. We will be praying for you guys. Amen.

And Andrew or Julia, whichever one's about to. retire. Thank you for your service. We appreciate you. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Especially our military families. Amen. We love you guys. And I just wanted to take that little moment we had to shout you guys out just so you all know, y'all are going to have a bunch of people praying for you now. And then we had one other email from right here in West Monroe. Uh-oh. Now this is, and this one's a good one. Homegrown. His name is Robert and his mom is about to ring that bell for her last cancer treatment.

Awesome. Oh, wow. She's doing really good. There's the bell. And so he just wanted to give her a shout out for going through all that and getting to her last treatment. So, you know. That's awesome.

And may it never return. Amen to that. So I thought, you know what? Let's give a little shout out there in the emails. There weren't really questions, but they were both a very important things. So. Love it. Are we ready for a Bible verse?

I think we are. Yep. All right. Well, my man, Jeremy, he sent a big, long email. He's from West Virginia. He's going to come by one day, maybe drop some snacks off. Uh-oh. If you dropped snacks off?

You're welcome. But he wanted us to use a verse. Let's do it. Have you dropped snacks off? If he even threatened. And he's a law enforcement officer. You get the verse, my man. You get the first.

So, 1 Corinthians 13, 4 through 7. And love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it does not dishonor others. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, and always perseveres.

So Hunter from Waco, your verse and your advice came from my other man, Jeremy. And it never fails. and it's the greatest of all. Amen. That one needs to be read every day. Yep. Yep. Because it's the greatest of the three.

Hope faith and love and love is the greatest. And we love to see y'all here next week. We're out.
