Where's Martin at? Martin, he was at. Tennessee. Is it Tennessee? He's with Wheeler. He's in Tennessee. And they had a big high school, Jacob Wheeler's Foundation,

had a big high school fishing tournament, which is a good thing, get high school kids. And Martin was helping host that. Okay. There's a lot of high school fishing tournaments. That's good. Hey, a kid from West Monroe came in fourth

in the national championship. That's what I'm talking about. Colby Dark. And his buddy, forget his buddy's name. Colby's one of the funniest little redneck kids in America, though. But his buddy, him and his buddy went up to Pickwick, and they were in fourth play. Pickwick, boys. I got some big small mouth up there.

I don't think I've ever, oh, I have caught a small mouth. Here? No. There's not any here, is there? No, no small mouth here. I didn't think so. Stone, what did you say? You had something?

Huh? Water ain't cold enough. You had something to tell us? No, I ain't got that day. He said no. I thought you did. Oh, well, you know what's coming up this weekend. The 4th of July.

That's right. You know what that means? USA, baby. A lot of cooking. That's right. We get to do whatever we want. Because we're from America. And the smoker will be smoking.

The garbage can will be lit. And that's right. So, in preparation for 4th of July weekend, I have acquired three Boston butts. And I'm going to do my Guinness-based smoked butts on Sister Schubert slider rolls. They slide down easy. And that's going to be at your house? Yeah, that's going to be.

No. About three and probably. About what time? Not going to be at my house. Sorry, Cy. He's been in there. No, I think I'm out anyway. I'm in San Antonio, Texas.

What are you doing over? Uncle sign, unplugged. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Since I don't have an on-and-off button, they get to unplug me, boys. That could be dangerous. I know. Hey, I don't like electricity anyway.

I've had too many bad issues with it since childhood. You got an electricity story. I can see it on my horizon. Oh, no, no. Look, hey, I go in the bathroom, and we got the old time. It's got a little brass chain on it. Yeah, poor cord. Yeah, poor cord.

It was off, so, hey, I crawled up on the sink, which was a little bit damp. And when I say, it's literally just swinging me around, and it finally turned off. It's the only thing that saved me. My weight turned it off. Yeah. Me and electricity, don't get along. Well, don't be wet, grabbing. Well, that's it.

I let you get it myself once and I never want to do that again. Yeah, electricity ain't fun. You can't see it, but it'll bite you. I was fishing one time, and I was jigging a worm on a ledge, and I picked that ride tip up, and it started... It hummed. Oh, yeah, that's a bad feeling.

I've been there. I put it down, and it stopped. I picked it back up, zzz. Yeah, when you sound like a bunch of bumble bees or humming, yeah, that's bad news. Bombo bees. I bet you that zizz-z-z-z-oh, no, because that hair on your neck, it starts, when I had heard, does it?

It's wild, like he said, if you got, you know, you're picking it up to see if anything's got it, and it's, v. Like that would have happened. And it goes back down, we, woo. That'll make you just put it down. Whatever I. That'll make you put it down, crank the motor up and say, I'm going in the end. Whoa, going to the bank.

Yeah, it goes into banks, too much electricity in the air. Whenever I was an unwise young man, I stuck a pair of tweezers in an electrical outlet. Oh. And I learned never. Yeah, never do that again. Don't ever play with wall socket. I turned off. He looked at that wall socket and said, what is that?

What would happen if I stuck this in there? Well, it was on the table. It was in the science lab at school, and I was in science class, and I was tapping the tweezers on top of the electrical outlet, and then I just went straight in. Oh, yeah. The science project. The teacher walked in at that moment and she said, this is it. This is the, I'm going to have to call his parents and say, this is the first student I've ever lost in class because sparks went to fly and my arms went to shaking. Lights turn off.

I shut down half the school. That's what I'm talking. It literally went on. All the kids in the computer lab, all the computers turned off. All stole their stuff. It's a legend at that school. They're like, hey, in this room, we don't put tweezers in the electrical outlet. It will cause problems.

Yeah, it will cause issues. I wasn't always the brightest. All of them redneck boys was like, where'd you put that in there? Oh, it hurts. It literally hurt. So don't do that, kids. Don't do drugs or stick tweezers in electrical outlets. Well, at least you charged up for the rest of the day.

I said, if that, boy, the battery charged. I was ready to go. Don't do drugs and don't play with electrical outlets. I have a healthy respect for electricity. I just call an electrician anytime I need anything because it scares me. Well, there's nothing to be. If you don't know what you're doing, you don't need to be messing with that. Exactly.

In fact, that's a rule I live by. If I don't know how to do it, I ain't going to mess with it. That's a good rule because you normally tear up more stuff if you don't know what you're doing. And then it costs even more once you've torn it all up. Anyway, that's why one people left to tell me, do you ever remember bear hunted? I said, nope, I made it rule when I was a young kid. And they tell, what was the rule? I don't hunt nothing that will hunt me back.

Yeah. That's a good rule. That's what I don't get. They shoot them with bows. Them things are itchy. Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, you're part of the food chain. You make a bad shot.

Your dinner. Yeah, like you're talking about, they hunt grizzly bears with the bow. That's, you know, he's like bear with the polar bears. Grizzly and the polar bears, the two biggest and baddest. Okay. They all bad to me. You're just doing hunting a grizzly bear with a string, sticking string? No, thank you.

I don't even hunt him with a big gunning. Okay. No. I wouldn't hunt a bear. I wouldn't. Anything that can just can make one swipe with his paw and break a mousse's neck and then eat him? No, sir. That sounds like a late-night PBS.

Oh, right. I'm telling you, a grizzly bear is one bad dude. You watched a grizzly bear break a mooses. Well, I've read about it. You've read about that one? I mean, you would think so. Did you see that movie where Leonardo DiCaprio got tore up? Oh, no, no, I thought that was actually real.

Then I said, no. So I was there. You thought it was real? I thought it was real. Man, those cameraman weren't nice. No, no, hey, no, that was all computer done. The computer done. Put that camera down and shoot it.

That's right. Hey, don't quit filming that kill the bear. It was trying out loud. Oh, it did look real. Oh,

no. Yeah, I don't. It's a movie. Brutal. What was the name of that movie? I don't remember. The reving it. There it is.

Yeah. That dude was tough. What are you talking about? Oh, I like when he poured the gunpower and the wounds in his beard and psh, oh, yeah,

because he lit it to, like, arterized the wound. Oh, People were way tougher back then. Way tougher. Oh, yeah. What are you talking about?

That was when men were men, boys. Real thing. I'm talking about, no. I've always said, you know, when Phil was running wild, you know, his motto was, who's a man? And every time they'd say it, I said, hey, leave me out. I'm a boy. Okay. Y'all go ahead.

Y'all go ahead with that stupid stuff because I'm a boy. I ain't into the manhood yet. No. Have you made it yet? No. No, that's like my wife, you know, her tolerance of pain is just, you know, my pain is the tolerance level is zip. Okay. Well, it hurts to get hurt.

Well, no, no, I'm just telling you, hey, no. Hey. That's one of the wisest statements I've ever heard. It hurts to get hurt. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That goes along with that one that Philip made the other day, but what is known is manageable. What is known is manageable.

On that note, what hurts? Wait, what is it? What hurts? It hurts. It hurts to get hurt. It hurts to get hurt. And what is known is manageable.

What is known is manageable. On that note, let's take our first break. Let's take a break. All right, I'm going to get some coffee. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking.

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

And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Triedale's beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales 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 easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash.

That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Speaking of bears, we have a first on Phil's property. Oh, that's right. We got black bear problems. I pulled up to one of Willie's protein. Oh, what the crap. That's one of those high-price magnet for us. That thing's dang.

That baby, hey, that's a magnet there. Just think if that thing would have fell on your toes. Your toenail turned black, it'd fall off. Oh, lee. Anyways, I'm riding down the road, forwarder, and I come up on one of Willie's 550-pound protein feeders for the deer, and it was laying over. side and I had just put

550 pounds of feed in that thing and protein feed is expensive five days prior okay 500 pounds on the ground so I got to inspecting and I came to the conclusion

there's only one thing that could have done that a bulldozer and a bear but this bulldozer's got black eyes and hurry hey he weighs about 4.50. I went to Phil. I said, Phil, I said, I think we got a bear. I mean, it was dry, so it wasn't any prints. Too dry. I mean, I thought I saw a bear print, but anyways,

Phil said, no, no. Deer did that. Deer. Did that? Oh. And I said, no. I think I'm pretty sure it was a bear, because we've never seen one, because he's not, and I could see why he would think that. He hadn't seen a bear on that property. We didn't see tracks, years, about, probably Plus, you got to think about it. He's over there. One of the years ago. Most of the time. He's in every day.

Yeah. Most of the time he's over there. They've been on a mission to bring the Louisiana Black Bear back. Well, and they've done it. I posed the question. Why? Why would you bring the... Why would you want a 300-pound raccoon?

It's pretty much what he is. It's what he is. It's a big old trash panda. Our farmers next door, they destroy their corn crops. I mean, I don't know what they're good for, to be honest with you. Well, I saw one going down right over by our house. House is. There was one, there was a kid outside playing, and I look over and I said, that's a big dog.

Nope, that's a bear. And I stopped. And I was like, hey kid, go inside, please. And then his mom walked out, and she goes, he told me he saw a bear a minute ago, and I didn't believe him. I said, it's right there. Like, he's trying to climb a tree. And it was like a baby bear, which means mama's probably somewhere close.

Ooh, that's dangerous. Well, according to Wagon Train, okay, back in the days of Wager Trains and Indians and Cowboys and all that, you know, they used Indians, used them, they're greased, okay, they're fat. Oh, yeah. They're greasy? Oh, yeah, and they greased their body,

and it kept all the, like, the bugs and the nats and the mosquitoes and all that. I have heard. That's a corner of wagon train. Swat them two mosquitoes? I have heard. I just tell you. You know. This is a corner of a white wagon train.

Why didn't, why didn't, well, I didn't know, swat them, two skaters. It keeps the mosquitoes and all that off of your bear grease does. I also heard that

bare fat is the best leather conditioner you could ever use. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I mean, that's why all the worst of movies, when you tell me, I tell them, well, I'm going to go kill the bear and get the bear fat you know that's how they said bear a bear bear I'm going to give

him a bear I'm going to get bar fat here bar fat also my friend Sloan brought a jar of bear fat when he came when it was that a few months ago and he asked me to fry some fish in bear fat wow no it was deer steak it was deer steak and it was delicious It was rich. Well, I tried bear meat in Arkansas when I was a teenager hauling alfalfa hay up there to a farmer. Yeah. That was it?

Huh? That wasn't. It was stout tasting. Oh, yeah. Musty. Yeah, it was, yeah, it was really, yeah, I didn't care for it. We had caribou, bear, elk. What kind of bear was it?

Black bear. Black bear? He didn't knock your trash over and eat everything in it. Everything. He wasn't much. I'm just saying it's a giant. It's like a goat. A bear's like a goat.

A goat eat anything. Beer cans, it don't make whatever it is. He'll eat it. He'll eat it. Is a black bear even like a predator though? Like will it? He can be. He can be.

Oh, yeah. But like, will he kill like a rabbit and eat it? You know, I'm not sure. What about it, Cy? No, no, I think he's more. No, no, I don't think he's really a meat carnivar. Vegetarian? He eats a lot of berries and grasses.

I think so. I'm sure. And protein feed. He's bad on like on fruit trees and stuff. Protein feed. Corn. I mean, they just. Because up there in Alaska, you know, up there, you got it when you're picking, picking blueberries.

You got to be always watching out for the grizzly bear because they love blueberries. I didn't do. They eat a lot of what they do. They'll bust the old rotten log apart. Yeah. They eat a lot of grubs and junk like that. Yeah, they will do that. I've seen that.

I grew up hunting what is now the Tensoe Game Reserve. Well, the bear there, in Tensoe Prair, the bears are, you know, they got a good population of them in Tenso. They were, well, I was a kid then, and one of them coming, of course, it scared me to death. I was on a deer stand. But he was rummaging around old rotten log, going to lay it on the ground. I was wanting him to get out of there.

Then I seen a German Shepherd come running through there. Daddy said, no, that's a coat. Looks like a German Shepherd, though. That's what I thought they would. No, no, I'm serious. So I just sent that bear picture. So anyways, I put up a camera to... Got a picture of you.

See what... You knocked it over. Apparitis. There it is. And there's... And there he is, boy. There he is. There's the culprit.

Yep. That is a bear. Martin says it's a young male Louisiana black bear. Yep. How can you tell? Well, Martin's an expert. That's how. He's a biology.

He's a biology. He's a biology. Also known as a giant raccoon. Giant raccoon. That will tear up. And that's one thing that is black. He is black. No, his.

Well, they're bad on, that's a different feeder. That thing weighs what? Probably, what's the weight of the? 550 pounds. And he knocked it over? It was probably 400 pounds of feet in that thing. And he knocked it up. And not only did he knock it over,

where he ate the 400 pounds. He sat there and ate the whole thing. The whole. Yeah. Clead get out. Greeter. Yeah. Now you're just making them stronger.

I bet you've got diarrhea now. All that protein. That'll run straight through him, man. Don't stand behind him when he cough. He's probably way bigger now. Okay. That's like eating a meat plus from Johnny's. That ain't staying in you from us.

No, he's not very hard. Bores, boys. Protein. Yeah. Yeah, the scary part is. He said, bring me a thousand pound. Let me show you what I did. What I'm thinking about watching this.

No, no, is that Phil was getting eaten up by some kind of fly in the woods, him and Dan. And they weren't, yeah, and they wasn't bothering Dan. And Phillips said, no Sam's. No Sam's. You know, and Phil said, why, I'm getting, these things are eating me alive. Why ain't they bothering you? And he said, because I got Victoria Secret on. You know.

So he got. I don't know the secret to get there. Well, no, no. So, hey, it got so bad fields that were, hand it here. Let me. So he sprayed it down when he went deer hunting the next, you know. Victory. Yeah.

And he had it sprayed it out, you know, when he got in the woods, sitting on a deer stand. And he had walked to the deer stand climbed up it. Okay. And he sees something moving coming toward him. Well, it's three raccoons. And they're walking. They're walking.

And then they're standing up on the hand of leg. So look. They followed him, flammed to the deer stand, climbed up the steps, okay, and around getting in front of the right up on the last step. You know, hey, you don't want to wear a Victoria's Secret. No. The bear may come to, you know, come to your dear stand. Bear may be attracted to it.

They may attract the bear. Not enough them women in them laundry. That's what they're doing. Well, hey, there you go. Well, let's expand more on Phil wearing Victoria's Secret when we return. Well, hey, there you go. I'm just saying, hey, if bugs are eating you alive, you've got to do something. Hey, Victoria's Secret was wrong, ain't it?

No, it's right. Yeah, well, Amber Romance is the title of it. So here, I noticed that in Phil's boat. I went with him to realm of his hoot-nets. This was probably 12 years ago. And I got in the boat and I saw that bottle of Amber Romance right next to the driver's seat. And I said, Phil, what's that all about? What is this?

He said, Don't tell nobody. Don't tell nobody. Well, we better not. And we don't tell the whole world. Don't tell nobody. Well, that was 12 years ago. But then he said, no, I used that for those gnats.

He says, the only thing that works on gnats. So I put it on. Guess what? Nasty didn't bother me. It works. But the Deer Stan story, that wasn't the Amber Romance. That was actually the Fabriz, which Phil calls it Fabrize. Not breeze.

It's fire breeze. Well, that stuff smells. Okay, let me, let me tell you about that. So, Phil said, let's go sit on a deer stand. This was, this was a while back 10 years ago, probably. So we get out of the foil winter. We're just going to sit on deer stand and watch the deer where Phil pulls out a bottle of Fabriz. And start spraying it on himself.

I said, Phil, what are you doing? He said, this fibres, you spray this fibres on those deer, they don't know you there. I said, boy, it sure, it sure got a potent smell. It was like, like linen. Yeah. Linen, like, I don't know what the smell was. Like brand new bedsheets. I mean, it was, but it was a loud smell.

I mean, I could smell it. Oh, yeah. Way off. Good, great. And I said, Phil, I said, I think that would just do the opposite of what you're trying to do. He said, he held up the bottle and he said, you can't even tell it. Well, you got to understand. This has got to be good.

This is Phil Robertson. Who's a man? He held up the bottle and he looked at it with a wild eyes. He said, eliminates odors. Duh. And I said, hey, whatever. He ain't arguing with that. No, no, you got to understand, though, this kid that told him that, okay?

Every time he would go deer hunting, we was going duck hunting. We'd meet, you know. Oh, yeah, I remember. You know, he said, hey, I'm going to be up there on an Ep, Stan, deer hunt, you know. Well, look, he'd come out. When he'd step out of a truck, he'd spray and stuff down with, you know, I don't know what the name of the, you know, if February's, whatever it was. You know, spring, spring season or whatever.

Y'all, and then, hey, we're in the duck line, and we hear, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, y'all. And we'd feel, say, good, crazy, shooting the woodsup, you know, and you ain't never killed nothing. Well, we'd come back and go and said, hey, what was all the shooting mine? He said, well, I shouted a big eight points that run by. Yeah. You know, and then a six point come walking up, y'all shot at him, missed him. You know, and he said, and I finally killed that four point I've got in the back of my truck. Every time he'd go, he would kill a buck.

And shoot a box or shit? Yeah. and shoot a box of shells to do it. Hey, they're running all open, you know. That tells me he was shooting them a long way. Stone's about to ban something. He's getting around that's bad. This whoever this human is, not on the premises anymore.

Oh, he ain't around here no more. This was years ago. This was before. Yeah, this is 15, 20 years ago. Yeah, this was before law and order. Yeah, it came to town. This is before Matt Dillon arrived on his name. That's right.

Once in the law show, we were trying to go. You were telling that story. I was trying to figure out what scent had to do with ducks. Then I realized all the shots were at deer. Oh, yeah. We were duck hunting. You know, we was in the blind. I mean, he literally, daylight would break and it would be bam, bam.

And Phil looked at. The wild west. What is he shooting at? And I said, I have no idea, you know. But then when we'd come up here, he said, well, we said, well, we said, Well, you shot about eight times. Did you kill anything? He said, yeah, I finally killed a four point.

Finally. Finally killed a four point. All right. I said, one time Red shot a four point. He said, I got me a nice four point. I said, there ain't no such thing. What is a nice four point? It's a nice four point.

He just kind of looked at me. I'm like, okay. Come on. Oh, man. But anyways, We got a good thing going now. Yeah. Law and order came to town.

That's it. There's no more eight shots at dawn. Matt Dillon shut all this wall living all we'll do. But the fibres story is one of my favorites. And to this day, he still thinks that if you spray fibres on your hunting clothes. Well, if it says, hey, a lemonade's order. He's got a point. I can argue with that.

I think it just covers up more than... It is stout. The smell is strong. Okay, it really is, y'all. I don't know. Yeah, it's that, all right. But he kills deer. Who?

Phil. Does he? No. No. Not because that. He don't... I mean, me and Cy supply, Phil, with his venison. That way he don't have to go out there.

That way he don't kill our... So we figured out a while back, as long as you keep the back straps coming. Yeah. Yeah, he'll stay out of the wood. He's because he really doesn't want a deer. He doesn't enjoy it like we do. That's true. He enjoys eating them, but he does not like sitting on a deer stand.

Now, he'll sit in a duck blind and watch the sky all day long. That's what he loves. On the chance to see him one duck. That's right. What if he flies by? Yeah. I'm going to say, you can't kill them sitting in the reclining at the house, boys. He said, I ain't got nothing else to do.

Let's say, you know, we've been there half a day. You know, it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon. And I told me, hey, you had enough? He said, I ain't got nothing else to do at the house. Yeah. He said, I'm over sitting at the duck flying. What else you boys got to do? Yeah, what are you going to build a duck calls?

Some of them said, well, hey, some of us got to work for a living. You had never filmed that first duck, we wouldn't be in this predicament. That's right. He said, hey, look, you boys are getting. He says, you boy, gang, ain't got much of the stand power here. You got to ride the hole. Ride the hole. They got a business, too.

Like Al told me, a very wise man once said, my dad is infatuated with misery. Misery. He's sitting in a duck blind from daylight to dark. And the fear of missing out. Yeah, phoma. Phobia. The phobia missing out.

Almost. At any moment. Fear of missing out. Well, if we don't go. Let's pick back up on that after this break. How many, how many, well, you don't work for us no more. I said,

how many, last time I checked, they saw one metal detector. Oh, no. Hey, I'll say this. It was actually interesting with JSON yesterday talking about metal detection. Oh, yeah? Is that what he was talking about?

Oh, he talked about metal detecting? Well, he didn't go on about it, but being what he said was interesting. into somebody that's known nothing about it. Well, no, no, because Murray, they found a moon rock. The history. Yeah, that's what I heard.

It's cool looking. Oh, no, no, when they cut that thing, you know, it got shining. Yeah, it's like diamonds all, and it's shining. When they cut it with that salt, whatever they use, it brought that thing to life. What's that thing worth? 50,000?

He said 50,000. Really? 24 pounds, and it's worth about 50 grams. Huh. But you're talking it pretty, when they put that saw on it? We need to go look for rusted looking things. You can get you a nice aluminum boat, 50 grand. That's it.

Nice, that one. Nice liminal. Well, yeah, that's right. Used to. I mean, good degree. Who knows what they are now. It's ridiculous. Yeah, they're proud of these things nowadays.

Well, everything is overpriced. But anyways, I'd say let's get back on that, on that daylight to dark deal. The day night. No, no, the best one that ever happened. Yeah. Okay. That's when we had, we had three blinds and one. And it was right there in the middle of the lake.

And we were facing west. We had one that faced west. We had one porch that faced south. And we had one portion that faced north. And it was a full blind. You could sleep four grown men. We had a kitchen and all that in it. So we go in that.

a blind by about 4.30 in the morning, y'all only been sitting there and, hey, it's all right at probably 4.30 something, okay? Legal shooting hours is over about 5 o'clock. So it's 5 minutes to 5.

Okay, so all right, I've had enough. So y'all been there all day. All day, all day. Phil said, I've had enough, boys. load up. So we get in the boat, and right when we pull in the buck brush, W.E. went out of the boat.

Wait, hold on a second. Before you continue, how many ducks have y'all killed at this point? We've killed probably five or six. Five or six ducks. Not much. All day long. Maybe, it may have been ten, but it wasn't. You know, all day is the front.

So we're waiting on the front here. It didn't. So look, it's five minutes still. Phil said, I've had enough of our boys loaded up, you know, so they get the boat and come back. We get in the boat, As soon as we get out of the blind and get right where the buck brush starts

where we're going to park the boat on the shed, we look back and 100 mallards. Just cup and cup and doing this. In the decoes. In the decoys. And Phil just shut the motor off. He said, boys, he said, we don't sit here all day long.

He said, somebody ought to take a break a lamb off and just beat me. me half to death. Yeah. He said, we don't sit here until four, third, you're a quarter to, a five minutes to five. I said, you're talking about stupid. He said, why didn't we just wait five minutes?

And that's where riding the hole started. And then that's when you finally said, let's go, nope, we're waiting until dark. He said never again. Never again. He said, we don't sit here for all day long and then left, right? the wrong time and a hundred mallards went in the pocket boy well that's where it all started i guess that's it they don't want to miss it you don't want to miss it like going back to jace you know

actually had a good time on the family vacation this year first time i played golf in about four years how'd you do on that oh i oh i did terrible but but we had fun so well with jace along that's that's that's that's the first i ended up You keep saying that, and then Jace comes on here, and it was a great time. Oh, look, Jayce is a lot more fun than it used to be. I'll give him back. I got to give him a hard time, boys. Oh, yeah, we love him.

He's the namesake. So I ended up riding back. Actually, I drove his truck while he was doing a stock market stuff. It's a good time for that. And doing all of his notes on their podcast. and I learned a lot about metal detective. I learned a lot about metal detective when he came on. And the stock market.

And the stock market. We stopped one time, and we made it back in like five hours and 45 minutes from Gulf Shores. That was pretty good. This was good. And I had my wife and my seven-year-old. About eight hours. In the back seat. Oh, the other ones.

About eight. So, and then Miss Kay, her rig. Made it back in nine and a half hours. Okay, nine and a half. Excuse me. April's wrong. They were just crossing into Mississippi and you were in your recliner.

Yeah, Bullfrog rode with them. She said, that was a nightmare. They stopped at every little side. Everything they saw on the side of the road, Miss Kay won't stop. Oh, we got to look at that. They had about a rig half full in the back when they left there. When they got back, it was.

Slam. It was produce. for it and over every little thing everything she's buying Christmas present for the grand key but no I actually enjoyed the vacation and the trip back with Jace it was very enjoyable he knows about metal I'll say this about Jace when he gets on something he gets on it oh no no halfway he ain't going half cock

he don't do nothing half I do the same thing he's full in on that yeah if you're gonna put it your time in how you're gonna put it in full it in full you're gonna be Bear you mother. Yeah, grizzly. Grizzly bear. That's funny. No, he was telling us that he can tell the difference,

like whenever he's metal, he can hear the different tones. He's like, oh, he knows what that is. I'm like, that's impressive. I would never find nothing. You'd be digging out. It'd be holes all over the other. Well, no, no, because, hey, my high frequency,

uh-uh, it's gone. Oh, yeah, it's gone. I can't hear that. I would just be waving the wand. It ain't nothing happening. That's what we had. I didn't hear that little beep. They told him, okay, beep.

Yeah, I didn't hear no beep, boys. A recliner at the house, and all I say, that thing's squeaking. I'll be rocking in it, you know. I can't hear it. She said, you need to fix that. I turned it over, sprayed WD 40, and I got in it, and I went, yep, fixed it. He goes, let's still squeaking.

It's like Christine goes on the porch. I leave the refrigerator door open there. It's got a little beep, beep. Yeah. You know, see you come in and tell me, can you? Hearing that? I said, hear what? She said, the beep. I said, that's high frequency, baby. Nope.

Here, hear a refrigerator beep? Oh, yeah. When you lead the door open, cracked, doesn't shut? That's not that high frequency. Yeah, it is. It's for buying anything up there, no. Oh, he hears it. Bad burn. Don't say you hear that. He probably does. He just wait for somebody come home to shed it.

He's got the same kind of hearing. I got politics and I have selective hair. Yeah, Mom, you used to tell me. If it was dad, he hears it's a elective heard. That's it. He hears what he wants to hear. And that's another reason why Phil likes to hunt till dark. Because he, and he's actually come out and said it. And I say, Phil, you know, what about it?

There ain't nothing flying. He said, hey, this is better than listening to an old woman talk on the phone. That's the real reason he wants to say. No, no, I've always. I've always sit back and watch. I can't even come up with that much to talk on the phone about. Oh, my goodness. It's just, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It never stopped. Yeah. And you're saying, wait a minute, they've been on a stupid phone for 35 minutes. Yeah. I said, what in their world are they talking about? When I was in high school, you know, talking to them old gals, trying to talk them in and going on a date. You'd be go somewhere.

You'd talk to him for 35 minutes? Oh, you know. Back to end. Now. Send a text. A couple words. I don't like sending text. Do you don't go out?

No. I mean, if I got some business to tend to, call me and talk to me. Don't be writing a letter to me. Don't write a letter to God when and send it to his phone. So what about, what do you do? Like when somebody calls you up and say, what's up oh i don't like it people do that though yeah what's what i do i'm like you call me good you got something tell me what i got a buddy who called me and be like hey man what's going on and i'm like

i'm aware yeah and he's like i hadn't talked to you in a while i'm like okay you need something dude we got something to accomplish you i learned that this this move from phil somebody calls him what's up? What about it? What about it? You better make it quick, too, because then if it's going to talk, see that.

Hey, Daddy had three words. Hello. Yep. Bye. No, he didn't say bye. No, he didn't say bye. It wasn't no, bye. Y'all don't say bye when you know.

No, no. The Robertson's on phone. Y'all just hang out. No, no. Sae says bye. Bye. Yeah. You know, with phones, no, sir.

You know, Daddy had a lot. like I'm talking about it. Then he had three words. Just, hello. Yep. Bye. Yeah. That's it.

I remember. I've actually hung the phone up and the person was still talking. You do, do, do, do you click. I remember Missy. When Missy was the secretary up there, she came down at Phil, she come in and had one of them flip phones for Phil. And he listened to her.

And she was showing him, he pushed his button for Jay's. push number two for out, push all the way down, you know, and John and everybody and Bill looked at her and said,

I ain't got time for that. Walked out. She just went. So much for that. He let her go through the hose but she showed him how to use it and push the green button, you know, to call.

And he said, push the red button to hang up. Nope. Me and phones don't get along either. They won't work. What it is, he's got people around him all the time. They got people with phones. They just don't want to use them themselves. They're a lot of trouble.

There's a lot of trouble. You will get in trouble. All right, well, let's take a break, and we will be back with that email inbox. Hello at duckcallroom.com. All right, y'all ready for the first email? I got two or three pretty good ones. I like this. So I got this one today.

It's from Daryl. He's from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Daryl and Daryl, boy. You've been to Shian. Daryl and Darryl and Darry. Daryl and Darryl. I've been there. I've been married for 11 years.

I've a 6-year-old son, likes to go outside and hunting fish and stuff. So he did lose his dad when he was 9 years old, so he's been teaching himself how to hunt and fish. But he just bought two Duck Commander Duck calls, and he's excited to learn how to blow him. What do you guys recommend to learn how to blow them the right way? So you need to be quiet, sign. He said the right way. The right way. Well, you're in luck because we have a lot of instructional videos on our YouTube channel, don't we?

Of course you do. If it ain't on the channel. If it ain't on the channel. We build them all. We did run some videos on some different calls. We have, of course, we have a lot of different species, wood duck, gadwall, teal, whedging, pintails. I think we have a structure. I used to have a wood duck call.

Used to. Yeah. What happened to it? I gave it away. He gave it away the family. He gave it to a family. One of the kids at the sportsman's camp. Yeah.

At Willie Sportsman camp. He walked up to him and he said, Jay said that I could have your wood duck call. Would you sign it? I said, what? I look at my jay he's just laughing well the kid had one that was too high pitched for some reason and and i knew galen had a good one so i just took the liberty of getting godwin's off the lanyard you can get another one

boy you thought i'd give him a million dollars oh yeah that's awesome it made it but anyways go to the youtube channel duck commander's youtube channel and scroll down till you see some instructional videos and very, I would say, what's the word I'm looking forward here? Down to Earth. Easy to follow.

Well, they're easy to follow. Simple instructions. They're detailed. Detailed and easy to follow. And simple. So blowing a duck call is not an easy, blowing a hen call is not an easy thing to do. You have to learn to pressurize your air and control your air.

And you use your tongue as a cutoff valve. It's very difficult to do. It takes years to, to perfect it. And not only how to call, when to call is actually more important than how to call. Right.

So, number one rule, never call at their face. Always call at their tail feathers. Yeah. So if a duck's coming in, don't call at him. He's coming.

Where are you wanting to go? What you want them to do? Some people just can't help it. They've got to call them all the way to the water. But hey, that's part of it. But anyways, I would say,

those videos out and they are helpful be patient because it's not easy start out with your whistles and those are easy put one in your cup holder and everywhere you drive you can practice and then follow teacher's instructions practice makes perfect well then so his email continues after that and says on a more serious note he's looking for some advice he's a believer but struggles with being the best I know I should be. I struggle with doing things. I know I shouldn't. I'm just looking for direction on how to overcome poor choices.

I want to be the leader of the house I should be and set the example for my son. What do you guys recommend? Get up every morning, make you some coffee, and get you a Bible and read one chapter every morning. Start your day with some scripture reading. some scripture reading yep and then you'll think about it all day you go to do something you ain't supposed to you go

maybe I ought not see that and that consciousness kick in also known as Holy Spirit there it is he was looking at inside oh no no because hey here's the deal okay we're all too hard on ourselves

okay you gotta realize when Jesus said okay I wipe the like use the need a paper. Bunch of writing on it, okay? Jesus wipes that clean. Okay, he's forgiven you. Okay, now you need to forgive yourself.

Right, which is hard to do. Yeah, which is hard to do because you always say, well, golly, I done it again. I've done it again. So, hey, learn to forgive yourself. The Lord has already forgave you, okay? And he's bigger enough that if he says, hey, I've forgotten it. Because a lot of people tell you, well, hey, I'll forgive you, but I ain't going to forget it.

Well, if you ain't going to forget it, then you didn't forgive me. You know, it's one of them deals. So, hey, forgive yourself. And then move on because, hey, we're all going to do stuff that we know when we're doing it. This is wrong. What am I doing? So, hey, forgive yourself. being so hard on yourself.

Yeah. And you just move on. Always focus on Jesus, okay? He's already forgiving you. Forgive yourself. The guilt's gone. All that's gone. Okay.

So you've learned to say, yeah, okay, I did it, but all right, I'm going to do better. I'm going to do better. Like John said, read the word. The word is, you know, it'll be fresh in your mind. And if you're wondering where to start, just read, start with Luke, read Luke, and then acts and that'll remind you why you are believe yeah i like that yeah because i mess up every day you cannot be perfect yeah i do something wrong every day too if you dwell on if you just you live in a bind so you know just try your best and like god was said start start the day with a little

scripture and i think it's darrell it shows that you you are trying which is the most important part that's right nobody is looking at you saying you're not perfect there's There's one perfect dude. Thank goodness he was perfect for all of us. But, you know, you look at the apostles. Even them, them dudes were literally in Jesus' presence, and they were a mess. Like, they screwed up and did stuff. And you're like, why would they do that?

And then you're like, yeah, because I would too. Because we're not perfect. But, you know, Stone said the thing about the Holy Spirit inside of you. That's clearly inside you because you're sitting there thinking, man, I got to do better. What should I do? And that, you're doing it. You're asking for advice. trying to figure out this weird, tough thing that we all call life.

So, Darrell, I think you're, your size right, you're being a little tough on yourself. I bet you are a great dad. And he sent a picture along with that, this email. Look, here's his son's first fish right there. I don't know what kind of fish that is. That's a yellow perch. That's a good one too. Yeah, that's a big one too.

I like that rod. Hey, continue taking your boy fishing and keep him in the outdoor fishing hunting. Make it fun for him. Yeah, look at that smile on that kid's face. That's what's all about. Making memories. Making memories. Well, we'll end this thing on an old Bible verse.

Is that the right time? I'm going to look at it. We aren't got Martin. Is that good? John 1-6. I like that one. Oh, I had one about running the race, but John 1-6. Let's look at what John 1-6 is.

Johnny Gobwin. I was going to say, John has got a lot of good things to say. John 1-6? There was... Read it. I like this one too. There was a man sent from God

whose name was John. That was the Bible verses. There was a man sent from God. His name was... That was good stuff. That's a good name. He can't even read it. He's no true.

tickle. That's it. I thought it was wrong. No, that was it. That's the whole verse. There was a man that came from God. His name was John. Hey, there it is.

I thought we're about to read. Johnny Goblin, one liner, baby. Straight from the Bible. I said he's got the wrong verse. I said, uh, nope, that is the right one. That's funny. That's perfect. Well, Darrell, I'm going to give you one other one besides his name was John.

Just for your. what you've been talking about. First Corinthians 9, 24 through 27, do you not know that in a race all runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way to get the prize. Everyone competes in the games, goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore, I do not run like someone running aimlessly. I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I've preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. Darrell, keep running and keep running in the direction of Jesus, and you will get your prize

at the end of this life, man. Okay, so stay tuned because we got a little treat for you. Coming up after, this is over, Sy, Jace, Jep's new treasure hunting show. It's on Fox Nation. We're going to give you a little clip. You can listen to it. If you're on YouTube, you can watch it. And it's on Fox Nation.

you can subscribe to it. Hey, and if you're a first responder or a veteran, they're going to give you your first year for free. So go check that out. There's a bunch of episodes. Si, are they hilarious? Yeah. They're hilarious according to Cy Robertson.

So go check it out and stay tuned and check it out. And I'm going to keep saying check it out because I don't know how to end this. You don't know what to do with his hand. You know, Jessica told me the other day, we got married. I had one tiny little patch of chest hair. After like five years, I had hair on my back, shoulders. I mean, and she's like, I was lied to you.

All you had was a little bit of hair, and now you're the hairiest person ever. Now you have to rope. I don't know what happened. You got creepy. Hey, I heard a rumor. Your wife actually talked you into getting your haircut? No.

What it was, yes, the answer is yes. To most people, getting this haircut would be no big deal, but I considered it a sacrifice. When I looked in the mirror, I scared myself. It was a cultural shop, wasn't it? Oh, I just went. Oh. Well, you know, that's what we got, I think.

Our genetics, that's it. Our super good thing is hair. Yeah. We're outdoors people. Yeah, I wish it had been like muscles or like strength or just anything. Brains would be nice. It's real hairy. I mean, it kind of sucks for my kids, but whatever.

The really good thing about it, though, is that I got a lead from the hairstylist while I was there. Old home place on what used to be the Mississippi River, which is now a lake, she was like, here's the contact. I'm like, can I have her number? Yes. Where is this? Well, she said Bonavista or Buena Vista, something like that. Yeah, I know this place.

It was a union hospital during the Civil War on the Mississippi River. Back in the day, they traveled that Mississippi River to and fro. That may have been the hub spot. It very well could be. It's an early 1800s house, so yeah. It's old enough to have the stuff we want to find. I say we go check it out. So where are we going?

I think we ought to go tomorrow. I can go tomorrow. We just can't be gone all day. We got the graduation party at night. It's important, so we need to be there, but I'm saying it's late in the evening job. We can get what we need to do and make it back. I mean, I hadn't been late in at least a month. Sounds like a plan to me.

How big is this place? It's not that big. We can cover it in a day, that's for sure. Let's do it. That's what I'm talking about. We'll celebrate our dollars of graduation, and then we'll celebrate The treasures were found.
