So, Sassia, look, you brought in your weight training equipment that's been the topic of a mini of discussion. Yes. You want to, for our YouTube watchers, do you want to show it for our album? Well, hey, I'll give one because I worked out today and it'll just kill me. This is eight pounds on each hand. Uh-huh. Okay. So you got a five and a three.

A five and a three. Redneck, into duty, taped together. Okay. And how are they taped? For our folks that can't see this, tell them how they're taped. Look, there is electricians tape on. underneath this medical tape. Because I put the electrician tape on it and I started messing with it.

And I come close to breaking my foot because the three pounds come loose. So I said, well, okay, we're going to have to put a little more tape on this thing. Look, but you got to think about it. Okay, I do 10 minutes on the cuby. Pedaling. Okay. Sitting in your recliner. Yep.

Sitting in my recliner. Okay. Watching Darrell's, live from Darryl's house, music. Daryl's garage. Okay. And I do 180 reps. One, two, three, four, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Are you going to do 180?

Yeah. But anyway, I do. No, no, I do 80 reps in five minutes. 180, excuse me. Doing that. Doing that. What, up, out, this, okay. Hammer curls.

Then curls. Palm up curls. Okay. Okay. So it's, you know, that's five minutes work. And I'm, by the second hand, I'm usually 30 seconds when I'm done. After doing 30 sit-ups. That's my last exercise.

You do that? I do five with the weights and then 30 sit-ups. Are you doing that every day? Every day. Well, that's good. That's incredible. Five days a week. How do you do the sit-ups?

You put your feet up under something? No. I just, been. That's pretty impressive. I got there by my cuby. And I actually touched the front. floor. Right now I'm trying to get over a belly wound from a tick.

Hey, look, no, I'm serious. I'm serious, that sucker, hey, when I pulled him off, look at that, look at it. Oh, oh, he'd been there a minute. Oh, no, no, he wasn't even puffed up. I pulled him off and it was pop. I heard, I looked down and just blood was spurting out of my belly. Yeah. You're talking about a bite on me.

This sucker had, he had all four. teeth suck in me. I don't know what just happened. The ticks have four teeth? Hey, I guess. Hey, I had to pull him off and, hey, it actually popped when he let go. I was going to make a joke about the beard hair and the sweet pea hair all over the tape. Well, hey.

I wonder where that tick come from. How many? When we rolled around looking at the lamb. Yeah, but you never got out of the forewitter. Well, hey, that don't make any difference. Hey, they fall off the leaves. Oh, okay. You're in the woods.

Hey, you don't have to get out. You don't think it might have come off that big old cat? No. No, sleepy. He ain't outside. The only person that spends less time outside than size, sweet peevee. But he is trying to get out of the door more because there's this little female cat there. Don't work out.

Guess who came to the house of pain today? The house of pain. The house of pain. The morning? Yesterday. How long did he last? Three minutes. Three minutes.

That was all we were going for that. That was the test. Oh, that was a test. Okay. I said, we're going to work these minutes? Once I gave him a little 15-minute tutorial on how to stand. On how to box. How to hold his hands.

Did you slap him with you go a few times? How to throw a couple of different punches. I got your other. No, not yet. Not yet. We'll get there. Hey, when you get ready to pop him, call me, let me walk. By the time.

Anyway, he got 15 minutes of instructional. And then I said, where you're going to hit the mitts for one round. That's three minutes. You're going to finish this round no matter what. So I started the buzzer, and after about 45 seconds, he was struggling. But I will say this.

It's not easy. I understand that because when he did, I didn't even like that, Jay. He has a problem with it. Because I was, hey, I was going at it just yelling. And he said, you're going to last about five more seconds, or unless you slow down and paste yourself. then I finally just said, I quit. But Johnny Dees' problem is, Martin, he wouldn't breathe.

I didn't know how to breathe while he's yelling numbers, and I'm hitting in the sequence of yells. And next thing you know, you're about to pass out. And Stone goes, hey, you hadn't breathed in like 45 seconds. You just told me why I had some of us trouble with that boxing deal. You weren't breathing either. No, he was yelling out numbers. That's what screwed me up.

I ain't never been good math. Okay. No wonder how can't do. So you can't think. Think, breathe and punch at the same time. There's a lot going on in boxing that you don't know about until you do it. Oh, I'm. And then you forget to breathe.

Once the numbers become second nature, you'll be able to breathe. Right now you're sitting there. Oh, number to never. What is one? What is three? No, no. Number that are never going to come second nature to me. And then I missed the punching pads a couple times.

He kept, he kept hitting me in my forearms. I got yelled out for that. You're lucky you didn't get. Oh, you lucky you didn't get. A little over the top. No, it was like three-quarter little. That was at the end, though. I wish, I was, hey, I wish Mr. Lee had been there training.

It was not. Because, hey, if he hit Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee knocked him out. Yeah. I'd say, at what point does a trainer get to swing back? Oh, no, no, no. Mr. Lee did a heartbeat. It's coming, I'm saying. I'm not going to do to J.D.

What Mr. Lee did to me. Oh, I would have. I would have. You got to have a little fun. Baptism. by fire. This is going to be baptism by smoke. Oh, I'm surprised.

Which is also fire. He hit you a couple of times and I said, what? I was saying about what? You said, popped him, no popped him right quick. Just with a little quick town. Johnny D did good though. So we're going to do something else today. Hey, I'm proud of it.

I'm going on this afternoon. You got him on that jump rope yet? No, no. I don't think we can go there. Has you gone with a speed bag yet? No. Well, he played with it. He played with it a little bit.

bit but uh you know that's like the one you hit there's another one he's got it it's on a stand the double end yeah if you hit it you know if you don't watch it knock it out yeah i hit one day yeah oh leat that's like a springing this is not a sprint this is a yeah this is a marathon but we're going to do it we're this is more back in fact we got we got we got to have a way in at some point and uh we got to set a goal and get there i way didn't the morning. Did you? What are you weighing in at, JD?

Well, this morning wasn't a great morning, but I weighed 237 to 238 right now. 238, okay. We'll say 238. 238. Wait now. I was 248. Well, hey, 2.38. The morning I went to the doctor.

215 is the current goal. But, you know, if we get in this box and thing, I might keep going. If you stick with it, you'll get down. That's 17. You'll get down to 200. I went from 235 to 165 at 1.5. boy. That's a lot.

He was back. 235 stone was when you look back on it now. It's funny. Oh, there's been a lot of emails of, hey, is this stone from the podcast from the episode of Duck Dynasty? He's standing there with the mean stone face. Yeah. I'm married in.

Oh, I didn't even recognize him when he showed up. When? When he lost about 75, 80 pounds. It was quick, too. Yeah, I'm looking. It felt quick. It took about it. about a year and a half.

That's pretty quick. That's pretty quick for seven. Self-induced torture. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not into self-induced torture. Yeah, that's right. Because he run into Mr. Lee, and what it was, Mr. Lee was not in a mood to fool with him.

Yeah. Okay, and he figured, he's something, okay, I'm fixed to put it on this clown, and he won't ever be back. So, hey, Mr. Lee done, he tried to kill him, is what he tried to do. Well, Stone's hard-headed, and he showed back up,

mostly say, oh, uh-oh, I may have one here, boys. He may have been a good one. Stone's hard to have headed enough to keep yelling at me, too. Hold on. The best part of it is, it might work out. The Stone is going to be Mr. Lee one day. That's right. That's it.

They're going to be some 25-year-old show up on Stone 70, and he's just going to wear a little fun in life. For those of those people don't know. If you have to torture some youngsters, hey, torches some youngsters. That's what Mr. Lee loves to do. Mr. Lee, a great friend of mine. He's 84 years old. And hey, and we'll slam a sledge armor, 10-pounder, up over his head like 100 times on the tire.

Oh, yeah. He's a national tragedy. He's impressive, okay, to say the least. 168 to go. He's just like the old man on that train, Rocky on the Rocky. That's him, too. You got to catch the chicken, Rocky. Yeah, that's him.

Lord, have mercy. Well, let's catch our first break. We'll be back right after this. With more boxing tips. 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 Tritels 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 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. 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'll 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 and 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. Anyway. Well, I have learned since I've met up with Stone and on the boxing stuff. I have learned, okay.

I'm a... I put the word. I'm more intrigued by a boxer now than I used to be. If you box for a living, you know, you got to be in shape. You're hard. Yeah.

No, no, you got to be in a shape. If you box for a living. Well, you just look at it. Here's the deal. You watch them, you know, and they're doing a little shuffling in the ring and all that. Then that once in a while they'll throw one in. Most time, they're, Especially if it's heavy weight, they're all by hugging on each other.

They're pushing their weight on each other, trying to wear each other out. That's because them heavy weights ain't got to swing. Well, no. They connect one time. All I got to do is hit you once and that's enough, boys. So who would win in a fight? A heavy boxer or a light boxer? Who's going to go all 12 rounds?

It depends on it. They had to march 50 miles before. That depends on the two boxers, okay. Hey, you know, weight hadn't really got nothing to do with it. Okay, who's in shape and knows how to punch and not gas himself out. That's right. I think weight might have. But, no.

Because they got a longer reach. It's just like, oh, here's what, jujuice. Okay. It's all about technique. It ain't about he's bigger than me. It's about, hey, does he know as much as I know? Are they both professionals or is this like me versus time? Well, that's what I'm saying.

That would be a good deal. That would be what determined who beat who. Because I'm a heavyweight. Which one is not for a freshman? The difference is you won't find a middleweight boxer that will step into a ring with a heavyweight. They ain't going to do it. Because it knows better. For a good reason.

But there's some. That's why they have a weight class. That is correct. But in Jiu Jitsu and the little guy, the big guy doesn't have that much of advantage over the little guy. So he's not scared to jump in with a big guy. But in boxing, you don't want to get hit by heavyweight. Remember that, J.D. Yeah.

Unfortunately, I think that's my current class. I got to get down. Yeah, you're in the wrong weight class. You're in the wrong weight class. I'm in the class with old Mike Tyson. Yeah. Whatever happened to the good heavyweight boxing, though. Oh, it's back.

Is it back? It's back. There's a guy named Tyson Fury, who is a hoot to watch. If you've never seen him, you need to watch him. Because last time I watched boxing, people came over. We all split it. It was pay-per-view. And then an hour later, we were all like, well, that was disappointing.

Because nobody got knocked out. Well, that's why I... I'll tell you, Tyson Fury is very entertaining. And Deonté Wilder hits like a sledgehammer. And then you have another guy from Great Britain. What's his name? I like that. I don't know.

But anyway, there's three of them that are really good. right now. Well, who was the guy? He was a black guy. Yeah, he's up and comer. Yeah. And he was in like a hundred and eighty-five class. Anthony Joseph.

Sugar Ray, Sugar Ray Robertson or Leonard? Sugar Ray Leonard? Is that the one I'm talking about? If he talking about Sugar Ray, it is. Well, because if he ever, if he ever stunned you, the match was over. Stunge you? Oh, yeah.

No, no. If he ever popped somebody and stunned him, is this him? Yeah, that's him. Is that? If that man right there. ever stunned you, you didn't get over the stun because he hit you five more times and put you on the floor.

He wasn't as good as Marvin Hager, though. I don't know. I don't know. I'd put my money on him. I'm taking smoking Joe Frazier over all of them. That's the argument. Smoking Joe Frazier could take a punch. Okay. Had a good chin. See, you lived in the golden age of boxing. Oh, no, no,

no, no, no. Because like, you know, and the only reason is everybody watched Ali. Ali? They were praying. Yeah, everybody that watched Ali was praying somebody was going to come along that could beat him. But here's the thing. You know, you don't really realize it, but he was really the greatest there ever was. Okay.

That's the reason he could do the shuffle and not get hit. And then he's going to pop you when you try to do whatever you tried to do. Did you watch all those live? Oh, did I ever watch them? Yeah. That's cool to me. Oh. no no he was saying let me at him

you know I show you you let this monster man you just got to understand the guy gets in the ring with somebody and he's just dancing around with his hands down okay and the guy can't reach him and then he just

72 and he just 70 to eight bang out you know and then he danced a little bit and then pangow see I wish I could have watched all that live oh no no

hey trust me when I was it when he used to say I'm the greatest he was telling their truth. I believe it. He was the greatest. I've seen it, but unfortunately I knew the outcome. God just told you about that, Tyson Fury.

He's a lot like Muhammad Ali. He's huge. He moves around, light-footed. He's got a, his arms are from me to you. So, very entertaining. He has the gift of gab also. We need to watch it. Well, now, if you know, it ain't a gift of gab,

you can bag it up. Oh, he can back it up. He can back it up. That's it. I got the gift of gab. have, but I'm not backing up anything in a box. Hey, wait, I apologize for if you're smelling anything right now. Uh-oh.

Because I've been out in the woods since about seven. That's why I'm over here trying to breathe through my mouth and they're talking. I don't believe it. But it's all right. That's all good. What did you do today? I'm putting up a big, big shooting house for the boss, man. Oh, big shooting house.

And it's a lot more complicated. He said he's going to get it locked down where I can't even get in it. A big old quipaw. A big old quiet paw. You know, it's a biggin. Well, good. You got a... And you had no help.

I'd tear the door off that son of my eyes. Oh, yeah. I had to have. But they were just watching you and filming you? Well, yeah, Jordan was there. He was helped me, but our cameraman in training, old Jacob, that's Willie's new son-in-law. Butt-cut to our listeners. For all the other ones.

But cut. He was filming. And, of course, you know. Have we got a disc up yet? Oh, yeah. I've done a disc. three times. I know, but if you got it

like those ones? So I said, have we? Like he's been down there. So I said, have we got it this? Well, I'm involved in it. You got a mouse in your pocket? Well, no, no, I'm a root-in section, right, y'all. Hi.

Hey. You're the supervisor. No, I ain't no supervisor. I ain't super-bye. I just want it involved in it, okay. He's in the rooting section. You know, I actually sit in the chair and watch and tell me, okay, look at this deer here.

This one, this is your stand. This one's up here, you know? Oh, so you're the scout. Oh, yeah. Well, no, no, no. I just enjoy seeing what we've got coming up. He is literally just the fact of it. And he's actually got me in management.

Okay, because I'm sitting there. Used to one walked out of there, just, bam. So now it's, okay, let's see. What did this stone say? No, I've seen. What did this stone say I could shoot? I've been with you, and you've said, not too big. It won't shoot it.

So I know you are. Well, no, no. But see, I've even got out of that. The only time I actually shoot a yearling is if the orders have come from the property on. owners. Okay, that would either have to be Phil Robertson, Jason Robertson, or Willie Robinson.

Or Kay Robertson. Or Kaye, hey. Oh, the real ball of Kate. Yeah. That's it. But it was... Then I'll shoot one. Otherwise, I've got to look at it and tell me,

God, there's five big old bucks down there at the end of my food plot. And it's getting dark, and I can't see their antlers, and I can't shoot with three. And then they started talking to them. Oh, no. Yeah. Okay. Then they always just, you know.

Okay, boys. They start coughing, jumping, farting, wheeches, and everything. Hey, deer know you by name, son, down there on our place, on the Robertson place. I'm serious. What did they call you? The old man. I'd have to go ahead. Every time I hunt size deer stand, when a deer comes out, he'll stare at that deer stand for 10 minutes.

That's because he used to somebody running a chainsaw up in there beside being asleep. No, I never go to sleep, but I am watching. Big Doc. No, he don't go to sleep because I take him about five minutes before a deer start moving. Or they used to hearing that build pump running in there. That's it. No, I got him, I got an indoor plumbing. That's it.

I built him a French drain urinal. French drain. I bet that's the day I smell good. Golly. It smells better than it used to. Oh, no. Hey. You can hit the drain?

Huh? You can hit the drain? He's got a phone and everything. I'm saying, you know, hey. You have a funnel out of your deer stuff? Right. Down into the ground and rocks and everything. Frank Strait.

Hey, this is a high-class hotel. We're in here, buddy. I use a gorilla tape and hook a water hose to a funnel. That's right. And then I dug a French drain and poured rocks in. That's amazing. Do you at least pour a little tea down there to, like, clean it out? Oh, yeah, I'll pull water down there once in a while.

That's good. Like to flush, you know. That's outstanding. You know you pee a lot when you got a French-drained toilet in your deer stand. Good. I guarantee. All right. Well, let's take our next break.

We'll be back right after 10. Johnny D. I got a good one for you. Uh-oh. I'm ready. So I'm walking by a field's truck today this morning. And I smelled something. You smelled it from the outside of the truck?

I smelled it from the outside. It was coming from the bed at his truck. And I thought, good. What is that? I smell. And we can confirm it. Wasn't you? It was not me.

I mean, not yet. Okay. I smell pretty bad right now. Just check. It's one of them deals where you don't want to raise up out of your seat because when you go back down, that wind, it hits you, you know. Yeah. But anyways, I walked by that truck, and it was one of the most awful smells I've ever smelled my life, and I got to dig it around. I'm looking for a level.

So I'm digging around, and it gets worse and worse, and I move this old towel, and I pick up this zip-up. bag and is full of shrimp pills from about, I'd say a month maybe. Oh, go? Yeah, for about a month ago. And Phil will stand there and I held it up in front of him. I said, Phil, what about it? He don't even smell it. No, he don't smell it.

He said, good night. I forgot to throw that out. I said, you showed it. He just had that in his truck. In his back of his truck. There's nothing quite like the smell of rotten shellfish. Yeah. That's a bad one.

Even shrimp before you cook it don't smell good. It's bad before and after. Oh, it's terrible. Yeah, but once they get hot. Yeah, what's up with that? You can taste that. That's a Robertson thing, though. Hey, no, it ain't.

Just leave and trash. No, it ain't. I've seen it. Look, that boy has never had a sensitive nose. Si said, no, it ain't. I went and got them weights out of his truck while ago. There's a half a roll of spent paper towels in his passenger seat. Oh, half of that is.

mask. Well, there's Matt. What? Mask. I understand. I saw it. Is it that far of a walk to the garbage can?

Oh. Well. I said, is that a Robertson trait? No. No. Hey, look. You go look in the front seat of his truck.

It's like. Feel can't smell. Okay. I'll tell you. He can't smell. He's never been able to smell or is that a... He's been that way he's whole life. It's got to be strong.

Huh. Well, he don't even make any difference if it's strong. If it's strong. One of the worst things I've ever smelt in my life. Was shrimp out of the bad one's truck? No, was Phil. Oh, I bet. No, was Phil.

Hey, when you get in a four-wheeler and the wind shield is down and wind is blowing and you're in the back seat and he's driving and something stinks like he's been dead for 10 years. Okay, and you go, what in the world is that? And it's even worse when it's in a duck blind with no air moving. Oh, yeah. So, but he can't smell at all? Because look, here's the deal, why. He's got this thing about, hey, don't wash his hunting clothes. Yeah.

Okay, so he spends 60 days. Okay. Well, there's a reason why he doesn't wash him. He thinks that they're warm. That's right. They're warmer if you don't wash us. It's a science. Well, he may have a point there because, hey, there's no air can get.

through them clothes he works. No, okay. That's a lie. That's a lie. Because it's leaving there. That's a lie. That air is leaving there. Because I can smell it.

Because you look up every day. Well, I just figured from all the sweat and everything, you know, for 60 days, you know, it does leave there. It comes back to us. The one seat always empty is the one riding with field to the duck box. That's it. I'm just confused on why he can't smell. Like, is it a... I think it's from all them years of commercial fishing.

Yeah. Yeah. He just, you know, that commercial, you become nose blind? Well, think a rotten cart buffalo floating in the Wastaw River and all. He's nose-blown. If he smells it, it's bad. Bad, bad. Does he smell good smells?

He, well, he does when he's cooking because they say, you smell that? But that's it. Only food makes his nose work. That's the only thing. Bad smells, he's just immune to it. Unless the bad smell is food. He said, oh, no, didn't pass sniff this. I didn't hit that one.

You know, I, for, I understand a little bit because, you know, growing up the way they grew up, having to take a bath and a wash tub, you know, personal hygiene just is not high up on the list. It ain't what we used to be, boys. Hey, all I got to say is at least you weren't last in line. That's right. But he's. Sye, never bathed in clear water. in his life. Oh no. Didn't know what it was.

Yeah. What you mean clean water? That's what I'm talking about. I thought it come that way. I thought it come dirty. Well, it kind of does here. What? You mean you got clean water?

That's why the yellow tin in our water don't bother, Sa. Boy, you should have seen him when I was a kid. That's it. But you're not as dirty as Phil. I hate to use the word dirty, but it's the right word. You know, he don't care.

Well, he don't care. I actually. I actually used deodorant, okay? Matter of fact, I used two. I used the body, the bod. The bod. He gets a roll on it. And after shaved lotion.

Okay. See, so you thought. No, no, Al Lisa gave it to me as a gag joke. But you like it. No, no. My wife loves it. And, hey, not only that, when I was out with the band, the women loved it because they said,

my goodness, you smell good. You know, that way they had their arm around there. I said, yeah, I know. it. Didn't have nothing to do that you played bars all night. Yeah. I didn't have nothing to do it. The clientele weren't exactly.

Oh, man. Well, I'm proud of you for. No, Sae does be. Yeah, he does. I've never come in here and been like, yeah. No, Phil is. I even change clothes today. Those are post-workout clothes?

Oh, no. No, these are. Hey, I had to get out of them. That's after nap closer. Yeah, I'm like stone there. Some ook, something stinks are right here. When you can smell your smell. That's a rough smell.

That's a key. That's like that's a cue. That's the cue. It's time to hit the shower, son. Except for Phil. Yeah, Phil, he just don't. I think Phil does it to see how long it it takes for you to say something.

For me, it don't take very long. No, no, yeah, but he don't really care. No, that's what I said. He don't really care one way and on there. He wants to know how much you can take before you say so. Does Kay not smelling? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Phil, you need to shower, feel. Oh, yeah, all the time. You got to understand. She wanted a pioneer man. She got her pioneer man. What does she say? I feel sometimes it can be a rascal. A rascal.

That's rapscaliant. Rapscallian. He might be more of a swamp man than a pioneer man. I think so. There's a different breed of, the people from the 1800s in Oklahoma. And the people that were here, that's a different. Well, you've got to understand. We actually lived, okay?

It was actually 1950s, but it was actually like the 1850s. Yeah, we had a big garden. We raised our own beef. We raised our own pigs. We slaughtered everything. Canned everything. Yeah. So we really were throwbacked.

Didn't have no time to bathe, did you? Didn't have time. He didn't even have time to put clothes up. We wasn't really fond of water to begin. Do you ever told you a bar of soap to the river? Now, I have taken baths. Yeah. In the river?

In the creek. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it seemed like that would be much more. Cleaner water. Yeah. Cleaner water. Yeah.

So I finally got to get unused water. You know, I go to the creek. It ain't anybody been in there. Yeah. The only thing I have to, you know, fish. Ain't nobody pass gas in that water yet. Yeah, that's it. Except for fish and turtles.

No bubbles. boys. Did you ever have a bubble bath, J.D? A real bubble bath? A real. Oh, Lord. I'm afraid to answer. Now he's hitting me.

Oh, boy. Is it? We're talking about a good time now, boy. I guarantee you. Talk about bubble baths and childhood. Bubble baths. I'm guessing. And I'm talking about a real bubble bath.

I will confirm. Not just fake what they got going on today. I confirm part of Phil's theory, though. Close are. warmer on about day four or five of wearing them. Like during the winter when you ain't sweating and you ain't stinking, you know, you just kind of, it's nice weather out there. You wear the same insulated underwear for a couple of days or, you know, your bottom layer

and your jacket. As soon as they get wet and you wash them and have to drive. And that first day back, you're like, I ain't as warm as I was yesterday. So I don't know if it's a dead skin cells plugging up the holes or what it is. I noticed he hangs his hunt clothes on a railing on steps going up to his door. So at least he lets a mare drive. He does let them air out. Let them air out, boys.

Yeah, they're out. But socks, you've got to change him every day. I don't care who you are. You got to get rid of them. I'm on my third pair of socks today. There you go. So that's good. You must have sweaty feet, JD.

I do. Okay. My feet are like my thermostat. If my feet are hot, I'm hot. If my feet are cold, I'm freezing to death. Like, take me somewhere. That's one of the hunt's over as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, then feet get cold.

Will I get cold? Bye. Well, bye. Hey, it ain't, he is not that important. Amiler Drake is not that important to be. And down here, a shoveler, Drake show ain't. And I ain't going, you know, you know, James liked, he like, he wished you.

Jason needs to move north where you can crank a chainsaw up and cut holes in ponds. Yeah. I'm out. Yeah. Anyway, let's take another break. We'll be back right after. That's me.

You got to bust the chainsaw out to get. into water. No, forget it, boy. I'm out. Forget it, boys. Yeah, I did that one time. I ain't doing that again. Yeah, that ain't no fun.

I ain't doing it at once. Because the problem is you do that at daylight. They don't fly until 2 o'clock, and we don't know they ain't flying until 2 o'clock. But there we are. There are we on. I'm going to say this, the last few times I've been to Kansas, there wasn't no hunting at daylight. Well, they finally, they're hard-headed. You think?

Yeah. That's just Phil, wouldn't it? They're hard-headed. That's right. Now, one time Phil was there, and we made him wait till 2 o'clock. Oh, they'd like to kill him. Oh, he didn't like it. Yeah, he didn't like it.

Y'all didn't let him hunt in the morning? Nope. They don't fly in the morning. It don't fly. When there's ice, when there's ice, ducks do not fly in the morning. You get one bunch at daylight up there. That's it. One bunch.

And then there ain't another duck till 2 o'clock. That's right. When it's froze up. I've done it enough. I've froze. my butt off enough up there to know you get one good bunch at daylight you'll kill eight or ten out of them yeah if you all pretty good gun hand and then you might as well pack you stuff and go back to the camp till two o'clock yeah that's right you know warm up but now no no we're here

now what makes them start up at two that the ice starts to melt and thaw and them ducks know it and yep they know when the ice starts thawing out they start flying yeah and that hole's true here too i notice when it ice is up here oh no no no yeah the two days i'll This is what was so crazy. Here's what I don't understand about that whole setup. You know, everything freezes over and it locks up ice over all the water. Then here comes some three guys with chainsaws. They cut a hole in a pond for crying out loud.

And ducks just appear for that hole in that ice that these three idiots just cuts just cut. That don't even make no sense. What? Oh, you're right. It don't make no sense. That's in Louisiana. They're watching you from the, watching me. That's not how it happens, side.

Huh? That's not how it happens. Yeah, it is. They show up. Hey, it's iced over, they cut a hole in the ice, and the 30 minutes later today, full limit. So how it really happened, we hunted the lake that morning before that,

and we watched about 500 ducks go down. And me and Jay's kept thinking, where are they going? It's shallow up there. But what they did, they kept the hole open. There were so many ducks. They kept the whole oak from freezing over. There were so many of them. Body heat.

Body heat. So we went back there the next day, ran in there, run off about 800, threw the decoys out, got in the blind. And we had the greatest whacking of all time. I can attest to that. It took about 25 minutes. 25 minutes, eight man limits. Eight people limit and 25 minutes?

48. It did not take long. Good ducks too. And got back with a boat and was like, man, that sounded fun. That does sound fun, bab, bab, bab, bum, bum, bum, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow. That does sound fun. 15 yards right in your face. Backpedaling.

The problem, that works every time but once. Oh, so say. When there's another hole pretty close to you, It just kept open, too, and they just go land with them. I've been a victim of that one, and then you sit there and watch the ice freeze coming right back to you. You're like, man, this is not good. But if you're the only game in town and they know it, they're coming right back. Side, they're going to be long.

We'll be in the blind Saturday morning. Are you going to be here? Yep. And you ain't going to have to worry about it freezing. You might have to worry about it evaporating. Oh, by the way. Speaking of smells. Yeah, by the way, I was showing old Jace the duck cold the other day.

and we were going down the road, and I hit a rut, kind of got a little low on his side, and next thing I know, he's in my lap, hollering. I turn around and look, and there's a Congo, a cotton mouth, on the high side of that rut.

So when I went down, hit it and I got pushed him out. It was like two feet from hitting, there's a door on the side by side. Oh, yeah, yeah. But that Congo was about knee level, and he said when we went by, It looked like a cobra.

It cocked that head back and opened that mouth. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And he went to holler and I was talking about it. I got out of the rig and blew his head off. But, man, he was a big one. He was one in one about that big around. Oh, I'd tell you.

I'd tell you about that. If there's a lot of times when you fall off in one of them ruts, he'll come floating up on side of it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that thing ain't got much room there. Yeah.

But no, he got up in my lap. I'm talking about it. He said, good night. I'm going to have nightmares about that. It was a big one. That head was about two inches wide. I'm shocked. Boy, don't you love till season?

No, no. I'm shocked that nobody has got bit down there on that property. Oh, it's a miracle. Except for blue. Okay. Jason went out one day. We was up there on the Beaverdown on the creek. Yeah.

He went out in the pierrot to pick up some cripples or something and come back. Okay. This is a, on a big old. this blinds on big old cypress logs, and they're opening the hollow in the end of it, you know. He comes paddling by, and I mean, it's one of them, it's struck at him. You know, and it's, whoa, ho!

He likes to sunk the P-roll and everything else, and then you hear, come, boom, whoa, you know, in the back. But he, you know, just, I mean, he comes paddling by, and, hey, snake struck at him, a miss. Those duckblowers are full of them. Oh, no, yeah, they're full of them. They're full of them. They're full of them.

They're full of them. lost too. I'll say I'll take my chances with a cock and I can see him. Them dang purple tails when you get in there and get to stomp it around and you don't know where they are and they're about 17 of them late you up all at once. The one thing you don't want to hear, yeah, the one thing you want to hear in a duck blind is a, ooh, yeah. You're going, what in the world was that?

You remember that big blind we had with the bunk beds in it? So, Phil they'll go, they had a headache. A full kitchen had an oven, a stove top, two bunk beds. I mean, you could live in this stuff. Oh, no, you could sleep four men. Hey, you could sleep four men. Yeah, a toilet went straight to the lake. Didn't even have a French drain.

It had a toilet. No, it wasn't a drain. It was just a hole. But it was a toilet. This was, you know, 20 years ago. So, Phil Nell, we get in there before daylight. It's early in the season. Still kind of warm and here's,

as soon as he stuck his foot in the blind going in, You heard a woo. And he moved back and it. He said, did y'all hear that? He put his foot back in the blind and massed the board. He pulled it back. He said, boys, we got some bad stuff in this sucker. There's something bad going on.

Yeah, something bad going on. Look, he goes back. He gets him a, I think he sprayed it with gas. a blanket. It's a blanket on that bunk bed. Well, no, no, it was a, it was a, uh, uh, uh, a, damn, a sleeping bag, rolled up. Yeah, that's right, sleeping back. Yeah. And he'd get up there and he, he, he got him a gas can that he pumped up full of gas. And he goes in and burned the whole thing. And when he, how, when he, when he walking up, all you hear, oh, it's just getting louder. Well, he just, I think he cut it,

like with a machete. And it, and it, he, he, he's, he, he's, he, he, he's, and it. And it. opened up and just I mean when it opened up it was just a wall coming toward him of bees yeah I was he just you know laced gas you know knocked them down you know but the woo the work the wind on them things when they was buzzing oh it was loud I've been there it's like ghost it's like ghosts they're making a noise and you can't see him because just darken that stupid blind. I've been there. That's bad deal.

Is that why they don't have that blind anymore? No, flood tort and four pieces. It's just four different duck bones. Now we got four blinds out of one. It was a mine strike. Flood water ripped it to shreds. It was 25 by 25 by 25.

It was four sides. With a hole right in the middle of it. A hundred, a hundred foot of shooting porch on that blind. That just sounds fun. Yeah. That's when it was a gar hole down there. Oh, yeah.

You had to shoot the whole thing. I know. We had to, we killed a lot of ducks out of that. A lot of jacks died right there, boy. A lot of ringnecks died right there. That was the best day. It was raining jacks. Y'all need to Google.

You all listening. Google, it's raining jacks. They just keep falling. I've been there. You get in a deer stand. It was probably 1,000 black jacks. Come over the top of the blind. and lit.

Ring necks. Ring necks. Lid out there. And our cameraman said, he filmed it. He said, we can't run this. And Phil said, what are you talking about? He said, it looks like a bunch of sharks feeding.

Sharks feeding. Sharks. Hey, it was just, hey, I could not keep a, I bet I'll shot 25 times. If you watch that, you'll hear Simon W.E. Get to laughing. Hey, they just get tickled. I could not.

I could not. Chastised for laughing. Oh, no. For having a good time. I could not. Hey, look, I could not keep a shell in my gun. Look, here it is right here. Oh, there it is.

There's the video. I saw our footage. Is that sigh? That's sigh. I put three in a nice. There's Mac. There's my uncle Mac. The original Owen.

And original. Back it up. Is that the beginning? That's just where you could see who was in the blind. I think you already missed it. Oh, yeah, there it is. I don't have no noise, but... Here they come.

Oh, good gracious. Oh, oh, look at him. Look at a young athletic man popping up in that blind. Good gracious. Look how many ducks that is. I laughed till I cried that day. I had crocodile tears running out of my eyes. He's laughing watching that video.

That's the only ducks they shot that day. That's it. One bunch. They got one butt. We had something like, I found we had four in the blind. And we full limits after that. Yeah. Yeah.

There you go. Four in the blind. And I kept saying, I can't keep a shell of my gun. I can't keep a shell of my gun. I had 38 ring next to them for a seven man. Hey, look, and we shot them for two weeks after that. Look at W.E. Hey, shoot that cripple.

Try not to smile. Yeah. Don't have fun. You'll get weeded up. I like sigh with the brown beard Oh, that's just a filter on the camera That's right, filter on the camera, of course

That's back when Si wouldn't talk If you don't believe that Si I wouldn't say a word That's it I had to hide the cameras, boys To get me on film Si I wouldn't talk, he was scared to death of it

Oh boy, once they turned you on Well, hey, they didn't bring no money Oh, here we go That's what happened, okay, the money The money people show up Okay, green stuff showed up I'll be Huckabary Well, let's take our last break

We'll be back right after this Well, we're back for the fan segment of the week Johnny D, what is in at hello At duck callroom.com inbox Who we got today? Oh, hey, I'm looking it up right now We got a bunch of emails Somebody just sent in a very rude one

That I don't like Who were they rude to? Me Oh, that's fine Hey, Jeff from North Carolina Well, hey, that's normal, Jake Jeff from North Carolina Nobody likes the Panthers either

You watch your tongue when you talk about the same. Don't like that. All right, here we go. Oh, Lord. Big fan since the beginning. This is Corey. He doesn't say where he's from.

Excuse me. It wasn't bad manners. It was good tea and lemon. Every week, good tea and lemon. Because it was. But he's been hunting dove in Pennsylvania for 21 years, and he gets a good bit each year, but never a band. A banded dove.

I think he saw your video of you band and dubs. that being said he'd love to know who holds the current record for bands dove and waterfowl he thinks phil would be the reigning champions or he could be wrong so i'll start off and say zero and martin maybe you can explain what bands are for those that don't know well before martin explains everything i would like to say that i have seven bands from ducks and si has two of my bands on his lanyer that he claims belong to him which in fact do not they belong to me. How many total do you have? Oh, I have no idea. He's got two on his lanyering. No, I've got some of them.

Stomwell's talking about that. He claimed them. Jace's got a bag. Here's the reason that Jay said... A bag. He shoots the 12 gauge, I shoot a 20 gauge, the duck was out there about 80. He was 80.

Okay, and he said, hey, you're out. Martin was there on one of them. Which one? The one... Oh, the Mallard Drake. You gave one of your bands, Tyler Jordan. No, I wasn't mine. Phil. PR killed that one.

Oh, did he? And then the other one, I killed the other one. And, Cy said, give me that. Yeah, I got that picture. That was a good morning. Boy, we blacked them. What's the eyes of that happening? And then we went the next day to my place in Arkansas,

and I killed a band for the last dug of the year. Yeah. Last Mallard Drake at a year, I killed. Three banded Mallard Drake. Yes. In 24 hours, essentially. That's right. Yeah.

I'm at zero. And the one I killed was super cool. because he was banded on my birthday. So he banned it on August 26th by somebody I knew. So that was, I was like, it's kind of like the holy grail of duck. Or duck bands.

Tell people what duck bans even are. So biologists that research birds, period, for the most part, will take a bird and band it. The reason they band it's because it makes them easy to track as long as hunters or whoever does their job and calls and reports them. So when you do that,

you get all kinds of data. you get like life history, life expectancy, you get recruitment, you get, you know, where they migrate to, where they started, where they go, kind of that whole deal. You just, you learn a lot about the bird, but there's a lot of people that won't call in their bands for one reason or another. I mean, I know why they used to not call them in because that's when a lot of the band data was used to purchase refuges. Yep. Where these ducks were killed, the government took the band data and said, man, there's a lot of band of ducks that win are right here and they bought the land they made the landowners an offer

they couldn't refuse which you know it's one way or the other we have more ducks today because of that does it does it suck that you know we can't manage it like we used to and like y'all used to do absolutely but it is what it is and we have more ducks because of it so you know if you kill a band of duck it's a pretty cool thing for for a lot of people it's a really cool thing for me I just want to know the story. Like the band, you can have it. I don't, I don't really care about the piece of metal. And last year, like, we killed a reward banded Miler Drake, which I haven't seen one of those in a while. He had a $100 bill on his leg. This year, we banned I helped Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries ban dubs. So now they're starting to expand.

They've learned probably what they consider as much as they can learn about ducks. Now ducks are getting transmitters, which also have bands with them. But now they're more worried about how ducks move at a local level and doves are really getting the forefront of the banding effort now so if you go dove hunting a lot kill you a band of dove it's pretty cool but you need to let the people know because that's how they set our seasons that's how they know if we need to kill 12 or 15 or 10 it up the limit too and how long the season needs to be so you know it's just all research stuff it's really cool it's like i mean my the cool one was banned on my birthday but he was only like a year and a half old the coolest one i got was

I killed a pentail Drake who was banded 11 years prior to me killing him. And he was already an adult bird then. So nobody knows really how long. I mean, that duck was a minimum of 12 years old and could have even been older than that. And to think about that duck going from here to there, from here to there, and one day flying over me and my 20 gauge, bad call. And the band is like almost worn through on the back. That's how long it had been on that.

When I was taking it off, I had to use a pair of tweezers to make sure I didn't break the band in half. That's like killing a nine-year-old buck. He's been around the block. Well, the best part of that for me, we killed a wood duck. I killed a wood duck on Old River in Gillum, Louisiana, above Dixie. And he was released in Seattle, Washington. That's pretty cool. 24 hours.

Prior? I killed him. Yeah, I killed him the next afternoon. Golly. Okay, that's like 5,000 miles, something like that. That sucker called a tail wheel. Oh, no, no. He was moving, Jack.

And look, the thing about it was, they were, it was just a woody flight. Oh, yeah. Migration. Yeah, migration because, look, and they was biggest mallards. Norther than woodies. Just giant woodies, okay, beautiful thing. But I would say out of all of us, I don't know, it's not me. I've only killed 15 or 20 bands.

I haven't killed a whole lot. But I know Jace has a bag. Well, I can tell you this. And Phil also has a bag. Phil has more than a bag. He's got a coffee, old folders coffee thing was full of them. And I told him, I said, Phil, I just got to know. This is recent, a year ago.

So I got a piece of nylon string, and I tied it up on one side of his fireplace, and I started sliding them bands on it. And it went from here, I would say, do you see that white fan how far is that? 12 feet yeah at least I'd say that string goes 15 feet yeah and it's solid bands from one end to the other and a band is about a half inch that's it and Phil and Phil told me he said that ain't near what I got he said I don't know I think I gave the rest of them away

oh no he did so Phil wins but you got on the land slide he's been hunting what good grief but he's been hunting what good grief but he's He was able to hunt when they first, but he was able to hunt a lot when they first started the banding efforts. So every duck that these people caught was banded. I mean, it was just, they spent a ton of money. And not only that, and especially because, like, that's the reason that Moss Lake and Fish Lake was made a refuge. Okay. It all killed too many.

Phil kill so many banded ducks that they just kept a guy up there. wherever they're at when you call to find out he just said wait a minute I keep seeing this guy's name so he just finally said hey you know runfield robertson name through well when he did it was just page after page after page yeah because hey guess what what is it uh and then they came and burn it's upper wash towel now yeah upper washdown

the uh what is that what does it call up there where that big lull of prairie used to be oh molless mollis Molese. The mollison unit. In the 70s, okay, that was all big oak trees, and they had come in, and the Germans had cut a lot of the oak trees down for making whiskey barrel. It's now the largest reforestation effort in the United States for bottomland hardwood forest. But there was probably 10 million ducks.

10 million. On that, okay. On that. On that. And look, Moss Lake and Fish Lake was, you know, right there on Arkansas, Louisiana land. There you go. And, hey, on a clear cold day with a Northwest wind.

They tear their tails. Hey, guess what? And he got to watch my mom and a leaf. Yeah. Yeah, it was crazy. It was wild. Yeah, there you go. There's the nerd segment.

The nerd segment on Banded Ducks. All right, real quick. And then we got a Bible verse to close it out. Some people have been emailing in about they're also trying to lose weight, which Martin, what did you say you did yesterday? They biked a... No, I ran a mile. I jogged a mile and walked two.

All right. Well, Ann, Ann's joining in on us. She wants to lose a little weight. And she's got two pound, five pound. And she went ahead and bought the eight pound weight. She didn't take the twos and the five. So she's in here with this. She gave her whole workout list and looking good.

And then my man, David, from Phoenix, Arizona. He weighed 427 pounds four years ago. and he recently weighed in at 258. Good work. So he lost 169 pounds. Excellent job, sir. Wow, he lost sigh. That's it.

He lost my weight. He legitimately lost size. And now he's about my size. So, David, that's awesome. He's still working on it. Keep it up, man. And thanks for tuning in. He's from Arizona.

Phoenix. Phoenix. Oh, I bet he used to be hot. It is warm. He's over, well, there's a lot of dobs. I bet he used to be. Oh, and real quick, if you've seen this, somebody sent in the world's greatest

Black Panther paperweight, the Moulton family of Quincy, Illinois. They've brought it by here, so thank you so much for that. That's it. And you want me to close us out with a verse? Yeah. Is it that time?

Send it home. All right, First Corinthians 9, 24 through 27. Do you know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize, run in such a way as the, get the prize. Everyone who 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. Have a goal. And hope. Hopefully it's to get to heaven. That's it. That's it. Amen. That's a good one, boys. See y'all next time.

Right here for that call room.
