They asked me, what was your favorite meal? And I said a BLT, which they don't have on the menu. So you have like the first. This is not even on y'all. No, it's literally just for you. Well, I've got to taste it in a few guys. See? See? Look at there.

We're going to have to take a break just to cycle his ice cream. Otherwise, he ain't going to talk. We'll be back after this message. Okay. I had had nothing like this in so long. Thank you, Will. Andy. Oh, hell good.

Did you know in 2004 two double stacks, a biggie fry and a biggie Coke after taxes was $4.77, Godwin? I didn't know that. It sounds like you did. I ain't that on the reg. Man, what a life. I love American. That's because you can't cook. See, boys, you just let them cook.

Saidan got so excited about Wendy, did he, he had to slap that oxygen back on. Look at him. Martin, it's just a good day. It is a good day. I wish I had my heart rate monitor. Yeah, heart rate monitor. I'll check your pulse. It's high.

It's high. Yeah, his heart's beating out of his chest. He met a superstar. Yeah. But when he and her box is here, that's like, they brought us all kind of good stuff. I know. First, the BLT, which is not even on the menu, which it will be in the future. You're welcome for that.

We don't know. I appreciate them saying, that's you. Yeah. But he's tried. No, they did ask me. They said, well, if we come, what is, what is, Uncle Si I liked to eat and I said a BLT they said oh the chicken one I said no no just just B L and T and that's just B L and T and that's it yeah my dad put peanut butter on a

you don't like it oh no that's why your dad did not start a restaurant and Dave Thomas did well no no hey everyone I love peanut butter on come up just a got you I got you okay they're better on a BLT but look I'm out of a vent and it's in the this It's actually in South Carolina, but they didn't think the hotel in South Carolina was good enough, so they went across the border in North Carolina, and that's where we stayed. Well, after the event, I was hungry. Got in late, you know, and I said, hey. And you went to Wendy's?

Oh, no. No, this is the hotel. No. I know this hotel BLT experience. I told Phillip, I said, hey, call downstairs and see if, you know, what do you feel like eating? He said, I don't know. So he called him, he said, hey, what y'all got on the menu? You know, and they said, BLT.

I said, okay, yeah, fine. That's what we want. So send us two each, you know, french fries and some tea. So it comes up. Now, you've got to understand. My taste buds are ready for a BLT. Well, hey, I buy it into this thing

and something foreign in it, and as soon as I do, it's, it's, spit it out. What was it? It was a stupid fried egg. A fried egg or a BLT. Well, yeah, they had a pitty-pity chance again.

Oh, that, hey. I'm against that. Eggs and tomatoes and lettuce. So I told Philip, I said, hey, call them back up and ask him, hey, do you speak English? Uh-oh. BLT, did that? B-L-T.

Where is fried egg in that? Where's the E? I never said a BLT and just had an egg in that. Should have a egg in that. Should have went to Wendy's. Should I have a thing. Look, they listen. They listen.

They give you what you want. Oh, no. Hey, I'm serious. I might take a shower when I get home after eight, but, you know, two bites off at Bill T. Juicy. Juicy wasn't the word. There was fake. Running everywhere.

There you go. But Martin, in the hierarchy of things that you've ever done in your life was getting invited to a all-inclusive, you know, special run breakfast by Wendy herself. That has to be up there. You know me. You know my affection for Americana. Yeah. And Dave Thomas.

And Dave Thomas. He's up there with Mike Lindell. So there are some cool ones that have reached out because of social media and all the things. Every once in a while. That I just say yes to because like Wendy's is a part of my childhood, like a part of my life. I mean, I was the same way. In high school, we're all broke teenagers, right? So you go.

Two double stacks. Biggie Frye, Biggie Coke, 477 in high school. That's what I'm saying. And I eat it every day. You can eat it every day for $5 or less. We were making maybe $5.50 an hour at our three-hour jobs after school. $5.15 minimum wage.

That's what I'm saying. One hour got you, Wendy's. I don't know how it works anymore. But that's what I'm saying. So like there are certain brands. So like Wendy's, when they reached out, I was like,

yeah, ding. Like Little Debbie's another one. Yep. That I was like absolutely. Another one that I think, is hilarious and I keep all of their marketing boxes is Bush light. I don't even drink. Like, I mean, I may have a beer with a dinner at some point, but I don't know. I don't casually

drink or anything like that. But their marketing stuff is so clever that I'm like, yeah, I keep that and I post about it because it's hilarious. And so when Americana brands reach out to me, my answer is always yes. Like there's no, the answer will always be yes. I've raised you out to Wendy before. That's how much I like it. So yeah, when when Dave Thomas's namesake comes rolling through the inbox and says, hey, would you like stop by for breakfast? Yeah. And we met Wendy.

And you brought her here and I'm forever grateful. Well, Wendy said she was a huge fan. That's bigger than going to like meeting Mickey Mouse. And I just looked at it as like a guy thing. She's like she's a huge fan of Sy, huge fan of Sadie. And I was like, wow, we're actually. I can see Satan. I was like, well, we're actually recording today.

Yeah. You know, if y'all are still in town, just just swing on by at 1 o'clock. And they're like, really? So, yeah, that's fine. I mean, she said, I said, you all know where the office is? No, I said, it's not even a mile. Like, I mean, it's just straight right that way. You got a pass like three windies to get here.

Yeah. I got a question to ask you. They probably can't answer it. It's probably in a vault. What's that? Who come up with the ideal of a square hamburger? Fresh never frozen. Fresh never frozen.

They don't cut corners. Ha ha. What just happened? Wow. That was actually fine. Wow. They're off camera, but she said that's because we don't. Have you got a degree?

No, she said it, not me. Oh. If I was that good at marketing, I wouldn't be in this chair. Take my hat off. I didn't think you is that smart. They don't cut corner. That's why that's a corner. Is that where that come from?

It's the, oh, my word. I don't know, but that's the, well, look, I think I've ever heard. You know, what do you expect anyway? That's a lot. Everybody else cuts the corners after patties. I had to remember that. Wendy's doesn't cut corners.

They don't cut corners. That's what I'm eating at home, square hamburger. From now on? I will never patty that sucker out again. Never. Uh-oh. He's back on it. Okay, he got his breath back in his heart rates down.

Boys, more frosty. met a fine redhead and his, we're just now coming back down. And this isn't by any means a Wendy's commercial,

but kudos to them too on that orange dream soup frosty. That thing tastes like the 1900s, man. I went straight back to being a kid.

I like a dreamtube back. I never left that. I wanted the whole thing. So I never left being a kid. He never left it. He's putting his headset back on. He doesn't need the oxygen anymore because we've calmed down.

He doesn't need his oxygen, but go and get you couple more bites off that frosty let's take a break we'll be back right after this yeah let me get some mike out of the way all right look springtime is here it's warming up you know what that means that means more outside cook and and y'all know we love to eat beef around here and that's what because of our friends over at tritels beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robertson would say buy 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 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 try tails beef i know in size case christine loves it which is just a uh she doesn't eat me yeah just go to try beef dot com slash that's try beef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak all right and we're back back and we're back i really now don't even we've peaked yeah i don't know where to go you've peaked in life

we've what to do we met windy life is good we got frosties delivered we got BLT's made off menu items like i wanted the whole thing well god when i'm proud of you for not smashing it. That shows how far you've come. I got me a little taste. It was good, too. Yeah. I can appreciate that about you, Gavin. That's a, that's a tough one. But it's good to be back. I missed the other one. My kids tried to kill me. So. They do that. Wow. They tried to snuff you out. Yeah. They, yeah, they gave me a stomach bug, buddy. And, I'm talking about I ain't been, I ain't been that sick. Colin Clander.

Buddy. How much weight you lose? I lost nine pounds in three days. Sounds like a good time. If that's what you're attempting. Yeah. No. Yeah, it was bad.

So you're back to eating now. You notice that even I didn't finish that ice cream. I still don't trust. I don't trust a whole. And that was what was weird because they invite him in that deal. And I was like, man, why am I coming off of like a sickness when they invite? If I went there,

I ate a few bites of this. That is pretty good. Oh, crush. And, my favorite. breakfast favorite is sausage egg and cheese. Biscuit.

Salmon. Oh, they got one there. It's good. I've ate that one before. The sausage is good? Yeah, it's actually really good. It doesn't have like a funny taste to it. It's actually really good.

Breakfast food rules. Breakfast is almost the only thing fast food I eat. I mean, that's the only. Breakfast in general. Have you ever gone somewhere and they're like, hey, we're having eggs, waffles, and bacon? And you were sad about it, no matter. the time?

No. You wouldn't be. No, I hate that people pigeonhole it in that you got to eat it in the morning times. Oh, there's nothing better than Brenner. Breakfast for dinner, baby. Everybody likes a little wine with their pancakes. Oh.

I do. I ain't heard that one, but I like it. Yeah, that's what Brenner's all about. Si, that was, are you, have you recovered from meeting that redhead? Yeah. Okay. Just checking on you. So I got a handmade BLT.

He met a redhead. And he's been having dreams. And he'd been having ice cream. But it started with, I've been having weird dreams. I hope this ice cream will settle. So. I got a name. They're so crazy.

It's hard to remember. Really? That's what I'd say. No, no. Just stupid stuff. I was trying to think. I told it to my wife and then I've already forgot it. And she just dies after it.

Well, I know. I dream. And she's a tough crowd. I don't know. Oh, yes. Yeah. You'd make her life. Yeah.

You've done something. You've done something. Oh, man. So she's the only one that knows about your dream? Huh? Well. She's the only one. I was like,

we're going to have to get me 15 back in. I miss. It's left. What are you being? Chase? No. Oh, I remember what it was now.

Kind of like to say. Had it's over your head. Yeah. I was naked to first thing. Okay. So you were in your childhood. And then I was holding the infant, the infant,

the infant had, had a bowel movement all over me and itself. Oh, you didn't have a dream. That's a nightmare. Here's the thing that was crazy about it. Then all kind of people showed up, okay, at the house. They come in and it was all just, everything was just, okay, well, this happens all the time. No, it don't.

Yeah, and then I woke up. I say, you ain't had a dream. That was just my Saturday night when the boys had the stomach bug. but I wasn't neckin. But hey. Was he eating Jito? No, hey, here's the thing. Yo, I had been drinking.

I know that, you know. So I'm just saying, hey, just crazy. Crazy stuff. That's not even. You know, I'd expect it if I'd been drinking. Had you been taking weird medicines? No. I hadn't been taking, you know, by regular medication that I take, which you've not much.

Have you eaten anything new? No. You know? Sometimes food give, foods give people weird dreams. I don't know what it is. I just, you know, because, you know, I'll tell you about when I got on the kick and I asked y'all what was Jesus, his blood type. Mm-hmm.

And that was one of my dreams. You know, God went, pst, hey, say, say, wake up, I want to tell you something. Yeah. And it was, it was so. Yeah. What was his blood type? Huh? Well, it's got to be positive first, okay.

then it's got a resurrection in it okay so positive resurrection and it was about four other things that I had put in there that I've already forgot for a blood type yeah yeah

I just said he was the universal donor whichever one that is isn't that O positive yeah that's the kind of they can give to anybody yeah that's the kind of blood I got you're O positive yeah but see he wouldn't be it's not universal

by all time it'll be cosmic cosmic Oh yeah but that's what I'm saying Anybody can have it Yeah Oh even the other universes Yeah

Yeah and it's got Oh no no If they're out there I don't know A hell don't know Sunday Yeah Okay and after he's done

It or no It was not Al It was chasing I had told him I want to use it for preach Sunday Yeah And gave him

What he wanted to preach on But anyway I went back And read In Hebrews You know He created more than One World

Okay I've never I had never read that before Huh Well he was in Hebrews somewhere It says I think it's in like first verse Yeah about to witness you know But it's got

Whirls Plural In there Therefore since we're surrounded by such a great crowd of witnesses But he says It may be at the end That's 11 one right

Yeah 11 or 12 one we're not unashamed I had never I had never come to that I mean we are unashamed we're not unashamed

you're discussing Hebrews 113 yeah is that what I'm saying I guess okay through faith we understand it actually says

that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear it's the Greek word for ages or periods of time world

Yeah, I don't know. That's deep. Yeah, that's... I'm not your guy. Well, I got one. But Jesus loves you, and I know that much. Nope. That's everybody.

Every single one of them. It doesn't matter what you want. No matter how many worlds there are. That's that. Or what that definition is. That is true. Oh. And another thing.

Somebody stood in the question about, okay, do fish drown? Oh, yeah, Martin's here. We had a whole discussion on fish can drown. I know what he's going to say. Can fish drown? No. Well, that goes against everything, Stone Zed. Never mind.

Well, first you had to ask yourself the question. Can fish? Because I went and looked it up in Western. Before I said I was going to do some more research. What is the definition of drowned? Well, I'm thinking they be water. According to stuff. Our breathing person or animal gets stuck in liquid.

Yeah, that's right. But it actually says, okay, fish, fish, my deal, it's a technicality on how it's worded. Drown it would not be the proper thing for a fish. So what a fish out of water drowned on there. Yeah, because he breathes water. But they can. It's one of them oxymoron deals. What you're actually doing.

when you drowned is you're being suffocated by water. That's true. Which I would say a fish can be suffocated by water. He does. He does,

but it's a lack of oxygen that actually... Yeah, that's what gets you. Yeah, that's what gets you. Yeah, that's what gets you. Yeah. If somebody sat here and blew an air nozzle of 500 miles an hour in your mouth,

you're going to choke to death. Yeah. You will not survive it. So just like, Just like if you're dragging a fish behind a boat, he is going to, in fact, drown. That's what that's, so Stone said, Godwin said, get them manners up, you're going to drown him. You're going to drown. He does a better Godwin impression than me.

But, and so he's, and Stone said, as only Stone would. And Godwins were alive and stones were all dead. So they drank. My answer is okay. They really actually do not drown. They're choked. They're suffocated. Suffocate.

Okay. Because they live in water. Did the fish get wet when it rain? Nope, they get under a law. Get under a law. That was Evan from West Virginia's question on the last episode, which y'all missed. Yeah. And I said, I didn't want to give an answer until I've done further research.

Evan and his all his homeschool friends got together to discuss drowning fish. And I was like, come on, homeschool. And then turns out they can. So sorry, Evan. I'm the one in the wrong here. And I apologize. But that's how I'm. I mean, I just deduced from doing all that that those fish were, in fact, drowning from,

but from choking from not. In summertime, when it gets hot. Well, yeah, you knew that was going to happen. Yeah. And they could suffocate. Well, what about ghost? Do you believe in ghosts? Uh-oh.

Ghosts? Is the duck call room ready to go down the ghost road? I don't know. Yeah. Beth is not in their head. One thousand percent there's ghost. I know. I think she's nodding her head that she wants us to go down this road.

I don't know that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And I'm saying, yeah, there's ghosts. Well, okay. Give us some elements of what you're talking about. It's in the Bible. Luke 24. What does it say?

When Jesus, when all them boys run up in that room and lock the door after they killed him, and then he appeared to him. Yep. And he told them to touch him. A ghost don't have flesh and bone. like you say I have. And the Holy Ghost. So for you not to be it, for him not to be a ghost,

that means that there has to be a ghost. Hmm. Correct. I mean, that's what you're saying, right? Must be. Yeah. Well, I was going to say, wait a here. Jesus was not a ghost.

No. But that's what God was saying. That's what he was saying. Well, I. Then there ain't a dog. He said, touch me. A ghost don't have flesh and bone like you say I have. No, but what he said,

saying is Jesus is acknowledging the existence of a ghost because you can't touch a ghost but you can touch me uh first samuel 28 Saul asked that crazy woman to talk to samuel's gahost that's that old that's the old ghost just saying and i think they call her the witch vender and i ain't going near it so i got because i don't like all that stuff i got a i got but she brought that old boy back Do you feel like you've had any experience? No, no, no, no, I don't even go to scary movies. There's no need for that. They said, no.

I believe it says avoid every kind of evil in First Thessalonians. Come on in a shame. Bring it. And so I just do that. I just do that. How come ghosts have to be evil? Ain't no Casper. Well, I always mess with.

I always mess with Brittany because, like, probably at least one night a week, about 11 or 12 o'clock. Jackson will be asleep and just start dying out laughing. And he is asleep. Right? Yeah, but I tell her, I was like, oh, yeah, that's just dad going in there and talking to him telling him jokes. It's fine.

And she's like, are you serious? Well, yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, I mean, dad was a pretty funny guy. I mean, he probably just wants to come see his grandkids. Like, Jackson obviously likes him. Like, it's, you know, I don't know. I can see her.

I like what you think in there. I do. You know, I don't know. I do. He's never dead. I don't think you're having discussions about him. Yeah. They're never dead.

And I don't, you know, as far as belitt. I don't, I mean, to me, honestly, I don't think I've ever had a ghost experience. I mean, I don't, but. You would think it would be 50-50, though. Like, half the people are super rude in this world and half are friendly. So you could run into a friendly ghost. Yeah. But I think friendly ghosts aren't being ghosts.

Let's guess. Casper. Casper. Yeah. So there might be friendly ghosts. Yeah. Well, look, if there's demons, why can't we have friendly ghost? Now we're going down another route.

Well, hey. Well, since you asked about ghosts. Oh, boy. Well, hey, do you believe in demons? Yes, and they believe in Jesus. And they shudder. The reason is they know Jesus. Yeah, and they scared on them.

Yeah. So you should, too. Okay. Fear God. Yeah. Put it on a bumper sticker. What do we do? I figure it is the beginning of knowledge, sir.

Ain't that the truth? That's biblical. That is so good. Well, no, no. Let's preach. That is true. Well, no. Why do you think I don't like mountain lions?

Wow. I know better. I hope one day you get bit by Black Panther. Oh, I don't. I was Jason with. Lord of. I would have just been great. I've actually told Jason before that one.

One snuck up behind him and actually sunk his teeth in his rear end, he still would believe. Thank you. I'm convinced, like, if one of them cats got after me, I'd die of a heart attack well before the cat killed. Well, that's like snakes. That's been a snake. Remember that last year?

He wouldn't have to bite me. Just come up there? If I just thought he did, that'd be a heart attack. Remember that last year was in Wyoming? There's one in the bow range. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Here's the thing that people don't realize. depending on their food source if they've got a plentiful food source no snakes plentiful they will get hey they will get they won't even believe how big they'll get what's that a snake all right they get big now

because hey my buddies that work on pipelines sent me a rattlesnake picture that they got in the ditch while they're doing the pipeline Yeah. Hey, this thing was seven foot long and biggest of them Congo. Well, I'll jump. Oh, he had some stakes on him, didn't you guarantee you.

Oh, it was unreal. I meant to bring in my treasure I found another day and show sigh. Hold on one second. You got on? You got a treasure? Hey, bring me some coffee. Y'all keep talking. Wait, hold on.

You found treasure? And he's just leaving. If this one of my face, you burned up a knife, I got a knife. I know what he's after. What's my big knife? Hey, me that big knife. That's a little old don't do the trick. Whoa.

Where'd you get that? Oh. Hey. That's pretty cool. Where'd you find that? That's a loggerhead. He ain't been dead long. That's a loggerhead.

I was thinking about him. We ain't going to be able to leave him there too long. I had some of those in my front yard. Where'd you find him out? Ah. So, Dallas was all. Yeah, I found this other day. You found treasure.

Now, this store is going to get weirder before it gets. Are there ghost turtles involved? Well, I don't think there's a ghost turtle. That is a longerhead shell. That's an alligator snapping turtle. Is that their ribs? Yeah. Yeah, that's his ribs.

That is how that connects. I didn't know. I thought it was just a... See? Look up under there. There's a backbone. Look at a solid piece. See?

There's his backbone, his ribs. All right. Tell us the story. So, I'll tell you this. That's a skewed, actually. A skewed. Oh, here we go. biology man doesn't know if fish tramble that's a scale but what do you mean i said i would say yes

just kidding i'm sorry um so this is where the story takes a weird turn so i pull up the other day after i mean i noticed like things are weird like traffic has stopped and i'm trying to get back to the office but i don't know why i pull up to the office in my buddy who is the newly elected coroner for washington paris is in the in our back parking lot and i'm like yeah like, well, what are you doing here? And he said, well, we, uh, we're investigating a death. I was like, oh, boy. Okay.

Yeah. Um, that's weird. And he said, I said, was it on our property? Like, why are you, why are you at Duck Commander? Like who, what happened while I was gone? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And he was like, no, no, no. He said, oh, a boy stepped out in front of the train right down here at the end of the power line. And I was like, oh, right back here. Yeah. here. Oh, yeah, right. I mean, the power line runs through our back parking lot. And he said, is there any way to get from here to there?

And I was like, well, we're going to put on. I said, well, you can walk there. I said, we're going to have to put on some boots. I said, it wet. And he said, well, just show me the way. And so I walked back there. And I got as close as I was going to get. And I said, all right, the rest is on you.

You just keep going right there at train tracks. You see them. Like, you can get there from here. Well, when we stopped, we stopped there. And we're just talking, catching up for a. second, and looked down and there lay this alligator snapping turtle shell. And I was like, and he just kind of kicked it and looked at it. I said, do you want it? He said, no, I said, good. I'm taking it. Martin. And so, yeah, I mean, because that's a, that's a cool turtle, man.

What are you talking about? I wonder how old that one. That's not a very old one. This is a little guy here. This is probably, he's probably, I say not very, I'm talking about alligator snapping turtle years. He's probably only 20. 20 years ago. Yeah, he's a young fellow. I was thinking 25 to 50. I mean, he's 15 to 20. I mean, he's. He got it. I looked all over, so, you know, me, the nerd, me.

I looked all over back there for the rest of time for his skull, because their skulls are really cool. Like, I don't, I hate to. They look like a drag. Yeah. Yeah, whenever, when all the meat's off of it. Yeah, it's actually a really cool skull, but I'm going to keep the shell.

And I think what I'm doing, I'm trying to get it unstinkified one. and then get it lacquered, get the skewets put back on it, and then I'm going to put like some little backpack straps on it, and Jackson's going to be a Ninja Turtle for one Halloween. There you go. But with a real turtle. That's pretty cool. But I haven't going to put some straps on it.

Jackson's going to be a ninja turtle. I don't care. That's cool. I like it. Yeah. I really do. No, I ain't going to. I mean, when I'm out in the woods and I find stuff like that,

there's a 10 out of 10 chance I'm keeping it. Hold on. Well, it's like the box turtle. Tartle shells. You bring him home? Yeah, it's like the box turtles, I do. Yeah. Red ears, I don't.

Like, red ear sliders, they get got by coons all time. They're a dime a dozen for them turtle shells. I used to thank them box turtles were cool until I found out that they actually are bunk baited with a rattlesnakes. Oh, yeah, they all live together. They live together. Well, they got a hard shell. They can. Well, he's got to, he's got to drive-in garage door.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He said, I get out of here. Yeah. Yeah. You buy it all you want to. He just locks it.

He just the garage door. Yeah. He says, but they're cool looking. Oh, yeah. No, turtles are awesome. Yeah. Turtles rule. They really like pizza as well.

That's why. Hence I said Jackson, not whaling. Oh, bigging. That will be cool, though. That's going to be fun. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I hate to see that alligator snapping turtle died because they're,

they're struggling a little bit. Bracken what got him? I don't know, and I don't know how he ended up there. You know, there's not a, not a real large body of water here that. Yeah, but he was like dead. He come from one. Oh, yeah, no, he took off walking. Yeah.

He's probably a young male. He probably gone from over at all behind the, between well road and here. Well, you had that rank. Well, no, he's been dead. No, he's been dead longer than that. He probably sometime last year. I saw it out of whatever we went to that little park over there. Oh, restoration park.

That's probably where it came from. Yeah. There was probably, he's probably a young male and a big one got to whooping on him. And he said, no, I got to get out here. I'm getting out of here. And hit the railroad tracks and then probably couldn't cross him and turned around and started walking down them and just ran out of water, ran out of stuff. But, yeah, I don't know. Run out of habitat.

It was weird to, weird to find him back there, but, you know. I'm looking at his scales that he got, you know. Oh, he got some big. Scutes. Scutes. C-U-T-T-E-T. I tried to remember. Well, what's this knob called?

What, these three, these, they're like, they're just called three rows of dorsal lateral spines. That's what I said. That's how you tell a difference between an alligator snapping turtle and a common. A common is smooth across here. The alligators got three, three rows. You can hold the shell and they can turn around by you. Yeah.

Not in. Yeah, that's the common. That's the common. Oh, yeah. And they get that big? They don't get that big. Oh. They get like 30, 40 pounds.

I mean, I think up north some of them will get like 50 pounds, but not, not gigantic. Like these things will get 200, 300 pounds. But no, he can't, he can't get you. Like alligator snapper, you grab him right there. You can do whatever you want to with him. He's like me. He ain't got no net. But don't do the flat shell that way.

No, other than flit shell. Yeah, no, he'd turn around. He'll turn around. Pop, pop you cut your, cut a thomas. That sucker's neck so long. He can bite his tail. Oh, yeah. I ain't messing with turtles.

You grab him by a little. a back feet if you're going to tow him anywhere. Really? Yeah, you grab by the back feet. Like, because I move them off the road whenever they're nesting so people don't, because for some reason he's rednecks around here, like to like treat them like target practice or something. Sure do.

Like, I mean, you, I'm like, bro, you had to swerve to hit that turn. Like, why? What did he do to you? I accidentally hit a turtle one time and it got son his back and it was spinning like crazy. Oh, yeah. I felt bad. Yeah. I've hit them too.

I felt terrible. Even when I was a young youth and didn't know no better driving, I'd probably swirred i probably swirved and hit a couple but once i got a little sense about me why why would you do it like it's dumb because it so now when i see them i get out i throw her in park and i get out and go take them off the road like a wheelbar hey i forgot to you finish another story a guy on cattle lake in streetport oh that's full of them okay he caught one as big as his table he changed him in his yard and charged a dollar or right and charged a dollar or That's not true.

Hey, you asked my brother, Phil Robertson. He had a longerhead turtle assigned of this right here. No way. And kids would be on that turtle's back giving this guy a dollar. Yes. Did you write it? I didn't write him. No.

Johnny D. If y'all ever expand. What in the name of Jurassic Park? No way. If y'all ever expand the honey hole and have like, like have a little ride? like have like a mini bass pro experience in there like with an aquarium or something can you please work with black bayou and get a turtle that kids can ride that you can bite your kids hand off i tell you what you need to talk to some commercial fishermen and things look too easy

what are you talking about catches turtles all the time look on this deal right here there's a whole program at uLM i didn't work under the herpetology department but i helped them where you go we would go out to Black Bayou out and put out hoop nets with sardines in them. Yeah, yeah. And catch these things, and then they would radio transmit them. They'd put the transmitters on. And I'm talking about, I got pictures of me with

them as big as they grow, buddy. Like, where it takes. I ain't got nothing like that. I'm telling you. That's a little probably inflated. That is not a story. This is the gospel truth. That's the five. That was a longer head total as big around as this table.

Gospel truth. A guy chained him to a tree, an oak tree. With a chain. And hey, charge kit, $1 to get on the back of that thing and ride it. And you couldn't come by there.

There'd be a line and they'd all be riding. But there are reports, like in all... Did Phil ride it? I guarantee you, you talk to Phil. I guarantee you he's called him all, what, size of a number three washed up. Yeah. And there's stories of them like the size of a number three.

I'm telling you. I believe you. I believe you. I've ate some turtle before. Well, I was going to eat, but then until they didn't clean it properly. Because, hey, they had that old scaly, scaly skin left on them. They didn't clean it. Hunter, you, you don't, you ate turtle?

Yeah, I've eaten turtle. You've eaten turtle? Yeah, they don't taste. What does it taste like, turtle? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. I looked at a hundred, Hunter was getting queasy over there. Chicken.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chicken, bologone. What? Filet chicken baloney honey. They said there's so many different type to eat on. How come everything guy tastes like chicken? Oh.

Because it does. I was just saying. Yeah. I had an alligator that I don't taste like chicken. Chewy is chicken. He tastes like a gar. Ben said, that's terrible. Garter liked it.

I tell you what, that fresh alligator that you just kill and put it and cook ain't chewy. Yeah, he's a little better. He's a little better. Well, everything's always better for spread. Yeah. That's true. And not falling.

Catch a bass on the pond. Still no good. Filet him and cook him right there. Unless he's a little Kentucky bag. He said, no bass. Okay. Our cropy, our brim. What an interesting day.

Yeah. We started off with the Greek word of worlds. No, we started off with Frosties. That's right. That's right. You don't forget about that, him. Like a little red-headed windy. Oh, boy.

And now we're talking about turtle soup. That's right. There you go. Unbelievable. What a lot. It tastes like chicken. Well, we'll take one little quick break and then we'll get in that inbox. How about that?

I will, if you will. You don't take... You know, we've started, are you a redneck? And just, so we're all clear, if you've ever chained a turtle to a tree and charged children a dollar, you are a redneck. And if you've ever... Our shot a stop sign. Paid a dollar to ride a turtle. You are redneck.

But Steve emails in... You're definitely redneck curious. And he said, well, I got to find out if I'm a redneck. He's about to move to a town called St. George, Ontario, Canada. Beth got excited. Beth, Bet's it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, eh. He's excited about it. And he just, I don't think he needs to ask if he's a redneck. He just sent proof that he's a redneck. Yes. Yes, sir, Steve. Yeah. What is that?

That is a multicolored mule deer tattoo? On his calf. Oh. It's kind of camoish. What a mule deer on one side? That is as redneck as you can get. That's an evil, evil deer. An evil-looking deer.

That's an evil-looking deer. Redneck calf tattoo from Kanata. I'm telling you. There's a lot of them up that direction. I know, eh? Calf tattoo definitely jumped you to the front of the line. I'm going to get one now and it's going to be very colorful. Okay.

And Beth, apparently Beth emailed in, our producer Beth. Did you? She needs to hear a story, and I didn't know she'd never heard it. What story? It's magical, and I'm going to, TX, that's going to be Texas. Okay, Texas Ranchin commented on YouTube, finally got Sy's book after the podcast, hearing us talk about it. His favorite story that he cries laughing every time is whenever Sy was in a little place

called Vietnam and had a tire stolen. And Beth has never heard that story. That's my favorite, too. My friend? The floor is your as soon as you put your mic back on your phone. Here's a deal. I'm at supply, okay.

I'm also the driver. We live in Canton, South Vietnam. We live downtown in a hotel. Okay, and we work at the Air Force base five miles away. So every morning the troops would get into my douche and a half. I would drive them to the airfield.

At 5 o'clock, they load up, and I was driving back to the hotel. So look, it's 5 o'clock. They load up, and look, the Duce and a half has got none of the bowls on it and no canvas. Open Bay back. Look, and there's probably what, at least, I'd say, 20, maybe 24 troops on it, sitting on each side, above the tires. that's important. Okay, so we pull up at the gate to leave the airbase.

They wave me out. Okay, so hey, this Duce and I have is a manual five speed. Okay, first, second, third, fourth, fifth. Okay, I never got out of like your third gear. I never got below 10 miles an hour when I pulled out of the air base. I put in at the yard at the restaurant, not the restaurant, the hotel. I put it in the where we parked the trucks.

I'm locking up the truck with a chain and lock. They are in loading. And one of them jumps off and says, hey, hey, Rob, you're missing an outer duel? And I said, ha, yeah, last, nice try. I was already head toward the hotel. Nice try. So the other one says, hey, look, it's a couple of,

are still getting off. He said, hey, really seriously, you're missing out of drill. So I walk around there and ain't a number of stud sticking out. And the guy's fixing to climb down. And I said, hey, hold it. And he's what? I said, you were sitting right above the tire that is missing. What in the world happened?

He said, I didn't see or hear nothing. And I said, dude, you're sitting above the stupid tire that's gone. Surely you had to see here or see something. more than my other favorite Vietnam story, the engine block in the pond. You heard that one? Okay, yeah, and I've got a chance to hear it to

reclassify something I had said that was in error. So look, I tell you, I'm in supply. So the company commander comes to me and says, hey, order me, they do some half engine. Because here's what would happen.

We would have a convoy go from any anywhere just say from Saigon to another town. Well, they'd get shot up. Charlie had hit them. They'd get shot up and just everything on the vehicle shot to pieces. Well, they would bring that back to us. We would strip it of everything usable.

And then I'd been in supply and I had a rough terrain forklift. I would pick that frame up of a three-quarters tonne and go drop it in the pond right by, by our garage, you know, motorpool. I've been doing this for six months. This pond is deep. Okay, so look, my engine, you know, comes in. Their air base calls me and says, hey, Robinson, come on up here with the do safe, get your engines.

So I go up there, get the engine, come back, put in a motor pool, we unload it. This thing's in a metal container, and it's bolted down. So the mechanic gets out your tools, Unscrews the bolts out of it. Takes the lid off of it. Okay, now this thing is airtight. Okay, it's got rubber where it fits together.

Gasckets all the way around. This is going to come into play later. So anyway, okay. So look, mechanics take everything up the top of all. They put oil in the engine, brand new engine, put oil in it, you know, get it right hook a battery to it crank it up boom yo hey doceive finish running good tell me all right put the lid back on it you know bolt it back up

and we'll put it in the in the you know frame you know of the ducellaneous new juice type we got you know so that night unluckily guess who's got guard duty me yours truly and a couple other guys so look yo we come together at the motor pool you know We've been walking around like 300, 400, 400 yards around the motor pool and this pond. Yeah. So we had just left the motor pool going about 50 yards apart.

We heard a metal sound, clank, clank, metal on metal. Yeah. So look, I got the radio and I said, hey, pop a flare over the motor pool area. You know, poof, y'all. You hear it. Poof, y'all. They shot it up in the air. the flare busts in the light

okay it's the parachute the wind's covering it over that pond well by this time me and this other guard had walked up and we're watching that ducid a half engine is in the water and there's a vietnamese on each side of it and they're doing this one arm in this ducanife engine

now with this ducanth engine in a container weighs 3,000 pounds. So I used to say, hey, you know, I asked the kid, you know, I said, hey, do you see any flotation device? Y'all? And he said, you first.

You know, because we're looking at this stupid thing that weighs 3,000 pounds going across water with one on each side of it, just, your dog pattern was one arm. Well, hey, look, the thing is airtight, so it floats. Before, I've told you. this story a thousand times that I had forgotten this stupid tangus there and that it floats.

That's a way not as good story as all of them standing on each other's story. No, no, no, but anyway, so look, when you had guard duty and anything happens, you have to make a written statement of what happened. So I make my written statement, and you're in a lieutenant, the officer of the day says, hey, Spectford Robertson, you know you're going to put your signature

to this, right? And I said, yes, sir, I know that. He said, really? And I said, yeah, I know. And he said, well, wait a minute, just off the record. He said, I got to ask you.

He said, I know I shouldn't, but I'm going to ask anyway. How do you think they poured it off? And I said, well, I said, it's going to take about 40 of them, sir. And I said, but the one that I'm impressed both

was is the guy on the bottom. I said, because this clown's got 39 other he's on top of his shoulders. Okay. So he's got a lot of weight to be walking on the bottom that far as well. I can't even listen to those

without laughing because I know the punchlines and they're so good. Beth, have you heard about Eagle the Pigeon? Okay. I was about saying, his next episode is going to be easy. That's a wild rat for for sure.

Oh, goodness. It's gracious. Oh, well, send us out of here, Johnny D. I got the verse we were talking about

earlier. It was King James. I'm going to go with NIV. They used the word universe instead of worlds. But it's by faith we understand that the universe

was formed at God's command so that what is seen was not made out of what is visible. That's Hebrews 113. Hey, hey, folks, being in the military, we have to have a command voice.

When God spoke it to him, you talk about a command. for us. Amen. You need to listen to that light.
