Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the duck hall room. Y'all've asked for Hunter Cam, and we've got Hunter Cam. Actually, we just have Hunter. They've been clamoring for this moment for Hunter to get back in a chair. Hunter, can you look at me? I just want to make sure we could potentially get the look at the faint bruise on the side of his neck. Hunter, did you get bid by a snake? Ooh, wee.

Are we starting there? A vampire. Which is one. I see two homes. two holes in Hunter's neck did and about that far apart. We're not going to stay there, Hunter, but if you thought you were going to get a pass on that,

wrong answer. You knew better than sitting over there. Welcome, Hunter. Thanks. The fans have been clamoring for you. I don't know why. Happy? Yes.

Yes. I'm just making out to my Instagram, which is new. Yeah, Hunter pulled me aside this morning. So I got a question about Instagrams and DMs, and I was like, yeah, stay out of it. You got to be kidding. Oh, no.

Uh-oh. Well, he thought, got bit by a snake and in the Bible I got bit by a snake and this clown Googles it and got all kinds of snake wrapped around limbs, trees. Well, if he really got bit by a snake, I was going to put this one up

so he could look at it and not die. Yeah. Well, Exodus for you. Oh, there you go. No, Leviticus. Well, the problem is he got... Numbers. The problem is he got bit by snake and then somebody tried to suck the poison out of. Lucky for him, she must have got it because he's in with it. He's still alive.

Honor, let's face it, you're as close to a little brother as I'm ever going to get, so this is a lot of fun for me. That is the problem. I'll take it. I have a twin. It's good to know how the love world is, okay, in 2025. It's all cyclical, man.

They've been doing the same thing for years, right? Hold on. What? Good over there? Did you just say you have a twin? This isn't new information. You didn't know that? He got a twin sister.

I didn't know it either. I don't pay that much attention to you, Hunter, but I didn't know you had to... I'm just kidding. Do you really have a twin? A twin sister. Yeah. Okay.

You've met her. I don't remember it if I did. You told me you met her. Bring her. Gosh, you're in charge of getting this person. Yeah. We have more questions for Hunter. And the only person that can answer them is a person that wants shared a womb with him.

You think I'm anxious. Wait, she's 24 and a female? Yeah, definition of anxious. I might be a little worse than her, but she's got some tendencies. Last night, she was like, hey, you want to walk to the bathroom with me? I was like, I don't think I'm allowed in there. Not anymore. You may not go there, Rob.

Yeah. Can't walk to the bathroom by herself. Really? That's a woman thing. Yeah. They go in pairs. Yeah, they just do that. That's not a twin thing.

Unfortunately, for you, you have a twin. But that's why I find Hunter so fascinating. Because there's a girl version of them out there somewhere? No, because as a twin parent, I like to see what's coming for me. I like to say the anomalies that are built up in these things from a bond that is unlike any other. I don't know if it'll be the same for you, but we hated each other. We're nothing alike. We're actually close.

We're very similar now, but. Did y'all wear the same clothes? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we. No wonder you hated it. You're wearing dresses. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I blame that of the parents. I do, too. Okay. That's the parents problem. Don't put you in the girls clothes. No, no, obviously not. Now we know Hunter's whole problem. Hunter, I know Hunter a lot better.

That's not what I meant. He had issues growing up because he had a wear dress. Sisters clothes. Hey, that's about as good as old Johnny Cash was. Hey, be in name too, boys. Boy, nice, sir. Man, hey, I knew I would be around. So, hey, I made you wear dresses.

Oh, man. Hunter. Hunter. So you just said, no, I didn't mean her clothing. You wore matching clothes? Yeah, we weren't matching clothes. But there were boys and girls. It's 235, man.

We got a specific. Well, there's a bunch of that stuff out there as a twin parent. You would be surprised at what the match boy and girls. I'm saying for twins. Like, when you get in that twin section? The cloth industry loved it. Okay. Huh?

The cloth industry loved it. Oh, yeah. Big cloth. Big cloth. Big cloth. Big cloth industry. You know, big pharma, big cloth. Yeah.

We dressed. just dominoes one time. Oh, what number were you? I think it was our age. I don't remember. See, that's where my head went straight to a pizza box. Or eight? Oh.

Way cooler. That's why he went with a pizza. When did y'all quit dressing a like? I want to know what like my future is for this. Or do y'all still? Does she wear this? Does she have a band-aid on her neck last week? I'm not going to let that go, are you?

No. No, he's not. No. You should have just worn it like a man, not the band-aid. Don't try to hide. And my hoodies wouldn't cover. We're not talking about this. You wear pajama pants and hoodies every day.

And now you're like, oh, I want to be professional. There it is. Hey, in this defense. There it is. I think everybody's got a hickey story. Well, who doesn't? I have a really good one. We just, most of the time, got it out of the way before we started a career.

Well, no, no. Hey, because I even had a good one. Like, I just had to deal with it at football practice, right? I got the best one. Whatever you, boy. Yeah. Mine's a straight lie, too. Uh-oh.

I had this paper football thing where you had a suction cup and you would stick it on the table and you'd flick the paper football. Well, I took that suction cup and put it square on my forehead. And I didn't know. No. And then I was trying to hit it and flick the football through the uprights over my head. But I left that suction cup on my forehead for about 30 minutes. and when I took that sucker off,

I had sixth grade had to go to school with a squared up suction cup hickey on my forehead. You were cupping before cupping was cool. Yeah, I did it. There you go. It was cool, boys. But then I was like, wow, I look like an idiot.

And my friends are going to make fun of me for putting a suction cup on my forehead. So I pulled a hunter. Yeah. Just lied. Oh. No, just straight lie. If I say, if you put a band-aid on your forehead,

that's commitment. Got all nervous. I told everybody my, I got a new panty. ball gun and we were testing it out my dad accidentally shot me in the forehead and they believe you gotta get everything with a good story okay that's a yeah was it you that i told that my dad accidentally like kicked my sister's head trying to get a roll a toilet paper off of her head like karate knocked your father yeah karate kicked her yeah let me know let me knock out why y'all I don't

think that was an accident I think he did it on purpose no no he didn't it was hundred He stuck the toilet paper on my head. Got it. Clean off. That's what I'm telling me. He did it on purpose. And then he went to my sister. Oh, no, he did it on purpose.

Yeah, he did it. Was it because you were wearing a dress and she was wearing boys clothes? And he got confused. He didn't. I think we need to have your parents in here. You were wearing dresses. They were kicking your sister in the face. So your dad, like, started that trend way before it was a trend to like kicking the top off the

water bottle. He just tried it with toilet paper and a human. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. He used up all of his... Man, there's a lot of stuff making more sense now. My parents are weird. A little dog paper, somebody put that song. Made us weird. Oh, okay. Wow! You ever seen that show how I escaped my cult? No. Tell me more.

No, I was just curious. You may I'd look into it sometimes. Oh. Wow, what a life. Man, honey. I don't even know how to respond to the last. last eight minutes. I don't either. Other than I've just been sitting there laughing for most of it, Hunter is a national treasure. Yeah, you want to know why we put you there? Here we go, buddy. We got to have, look, we got to have your sister here. I agree. No, no, I'm sorry, I have both of you the own. Hold on. You, you're terrified of putting a camera on your cell.

But you're like, hey, the person who known me more than anybody and at one point hated me and shared clothes with me, let's bring her in. I'm a little bit more comfortable now. My sister would be like, way worse than me. You're doing a great job. We got to bring her in. Yeah, you said he's doing a great job, buddy.

You ought to see how fast and feet. I think so he ain't stopped moving. He looks like a duck. Yeah. He ain't got moving since he's a down. Everything on top of the water, cool. Everything under the water? People have been saying that about me for years.

I'm not. Some of us just moved. I've got to hide it, you know. Run silent, run deep, boys. I would like to revisit that I wanted to look professional. Hunter, this is what you wear every day. Yeah, this is live. Normally there's a t-shirt with cronio-megalo-gainly goblicon on it.

I don't even know what the word is. My t-shirt's fun right now. Oh, okay. Now we're, now we're. Oh, is it the possum in the mountain. It is. Let's see. Very predictable.

You can't mountain do what's already been mountain done. There you go. Where's the lift by? Where do you shop? Everywhere. I got this off the Instagram store. He drives around looking for old places to shop. Yeah.

Well, when I was a kid to get weird t-shirts, you had to go into that one store in the mall, but you didn't want anybody to see you in there. Yeah. So you had to go fast. But then you had all their stickers all over there. I had a T-shirt. It's expensive, though.

I had a t-shirt that said guns don't kill people. People with mustaches kill people. and I wore it to school and the teachers laughed. Yeah. Because 2004 was way cooler than it is to 2025. Yeah, people weren't way there.

They're not too... I would get thrown out of school for wearing that now. Yeah, you couldn't even wear that to work. One of my friends wore a shirt that said love, but it was spelled with guns at my high school

and they made them like do it, wear it inside out to walk around. Where'd you go, West Wastow? Yeah, West Wastow. Yeah. I mean, it kind of makes sense. That fits a demographic. Yeah.

I'm in. West Washedaw? Mm-hmm. I got cousins that go there, man. That's fine. I like West Washed off. I love it. It's just too far out there.

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

It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson, would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Trials. Triedale's 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 Triedells 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 you. your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire. That's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're

stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. that's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Where'd you grow up?

Rustin. You're from Rustin. I'm from Rustin. That is terrifying. Yeah. Did y'all leave or did they kick y'all out? We moved. We moved from like a rural neighborhood

to a farm. Okay. I was just curious. So like Rustin, north of Rustin or South of Rustin? Makes all the difference. He's South of Rustin. I don't know. Which way did you go when you got off interstate?

right left left oh south of rustin okay okay yeah yeah okay he down about westin and quitman yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I know those people those are my people too yeah yeah I was just curious because you didn't strike me as a rustin night I mean I got friends that are from Rustin and they my only friend from Rustin's Carl Malone there's a strong chance he could palm hunter's head yeah probably just like oh he could probably just lift him up that's what I'm saying yeah just only reason I know who they this is because he has like his names on car dealerships in rustin. I other than that.

I think he's a basketball player. You don't know that the mailman? No. He got dealerships in Salt Lake City too. Mailman deliver even on Sundays whenever it's Caram Malone. Yeah. But wow, Rusty, I would have never figured you for a Rustic. Yeah, how did we get on the man?

It's the way we always do. It's a long and winding road. Yeah, chasing rabbits. Oh, everyone went on. Yeah, but if we go down to the basketball player route, we're going to lose hunter fast. Yeah. He's not going to have a lot to add to that.

So he's a big squirrel hunter, and he likes to hunt with dogs. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, we have to wait until a squirrel season back here. Here he's got some ponds. There was a dead squirrel in my driveway yesterday.

Well, not my driveway, right in front of my house. Oh, hey, if I've seen one run over, I'd stop pick him up, take him home with cleaning him. That's gross. That's serious. I'm serious. I'm serious. I'm serious.

seen him run over. If it's fresh, I'd take that sucker home. I did him out and fry him up. I wrote to the guy who did that to a rabbit. We just killed. We ran over. Hey,

you ran out. That's okay. He's like, that's dinner and then he grabbed it. Oh, yeah. Oh, like what? Jason,

I remember with Jason, they put a Louisiana wild. I put a $5 bonus on tails of Nutriot. Muturret. Mm-hmm. Hey, everyone.

He's your way to make. On the highway. They just announced that they're trying to get people to eat Nutriot. No. Like, they're vegetarians. They're, you know. Yeah, they're also gross. I don't know.

Yeah, they are. The word rats in your name, I'm not eating. That's all our Neutriot is. A big rat. A wolf rat. I'm talking about. I mean, you already eat a part of them. Their glands are used for, like, raspberry flavoring.

I think it's raspberry. Get them out. Uh-oh. Wait a minute. What are you talking about? They don't grow nutrient rat to make raspberry ice cream. Oh, no, no, no. Here's a wild one.

Hey, guess what they get women's perfume? It might be beavers, I don't know. They get women's perfume from a skunk spray. That's not true either. All right. Googly it. Pepe Lapeu. No, they do use the musk glands of skunks and of beavers

to do a lot of perfumes. and all kinds of things. I don't know about this raspberry deal, but if there's a part of a nutria that tastes like a raspberry, that's wild. No, it's worse. Because most people say, you know, it's worse than we ever knew.

That tastes like chicken. But if he... Hey, there's a lot of stuff that is so wild. We'll spit it out. This is worse than we ever. Put it up there. Nope, I'm just going to read it. It can't be...

Because put earmuffs over your children if you don't want them to know some things. Castorium is an additive used in some foods that originates from a beaver. From the beaver's castor-staffed. It's worse. Right around the old booty canal. Food. Yeah, it is.

Okay. Many raspberry and strawberry-flavored foods contain this oil. Really? So from the grundle of a beaver to your Pop-Tart. Yeah. That's where Pop-Tarts come from, for sure. Hey, that hors d'oeuvre you got came from a beaver's behind. Yeah, the grondel level.

So you better hope that beavers never find out about mammals. I got to be honest. Hey, bongo boutique, baby. I feel like if it was, if you needed strawberry or raspberry, it is just way easier to go get strawberries and raspberries. I just love it. It is to milk a beaver's butthole. I don't eat ralberry or.

I'm never eating anything again. This is disturbing. And why did you know this? My dad knew it. I mean, we hunted neuterats and beavers. Was your dad a farmer? Yeah, still is. That's how he knew.

You got farmers know. Yeah. He is the most probably, he probably learned it from the Albinat. Or the internets. But that's all right. He didn't read the internet. I'm telling you. He learned from the Firmus Almanac.

Because, hey, if you ever get one of them things and read it, oh, there's all kind of wild stuff in that thing. Have you? Yeah, I've read part four. Oh, it was heavy. The Almanac was heavy. I'm serious. Hey, hey, Farmer's Albinac ain't just a book.

Okay, it's... Exactly what it is. No, no, no. No, no. The farmers considered it there, yo, you got the Holy Bible, and then you got farmers open acts right behind it. Running in a close second. I don't.

Okay, you can, hey, look, you can tell the weather bite. Okay, you can literally, I'm serious, you can literally read one of them and predict the weather there. I'm shook. I haven't, I'd had to get Carter in here to tell me about the farmers. I didn't even get one. Hey, you asked him about that. I like to hear what you is.

Why are you shook? I take a strawberry vitamin every morning. Or a beaver or a boole vitamin. That's what I'm saying. Oh, you take a vitamin every morning? Well, that comes from a pig. It's a, no, it's a K2D3 gummy that's strawberry flavor. Oh, we are going to talk about gelatin, are we?

Ah, ooh. Gelot, no, I don't eat that trash. If you're eating a gummy, it's made a gelatin problem. Yeah. No, when I'm talking about like a cup of jello, I'm out on that. I never did get into that. I saw Johnny D's daughter the other night eating it. I said, man.

I ain't seen a kid with a cup of jello in a minute. You know what's better than a cup of jello? That plate with the jello upside down. Oh, the mold. From Piccadilly. Oh, yeah. And then you sit there and watch it. Just shake it.

Shake it and then sit down and wash it. And one stop? Shake it again. We should talk about jello? Hey, I'm sorry. Oh, man. I know what we're talking about, but I'm into it. Unbelievable.

This year's Farmer's Almanac has the thing in it about raising chickens. Oh, that's got... They got it all in there. I know eggs have gone up, but it is not worth having chickens in your backyard. Oh, whatever. Chickens in your backyard are fun. Hey, now, let me tell you a little story about the chicken. No, I can't...

Can we just... This kid watches, like, anime and, like, hey, I'm going to go to watch Barbie and Austin, and you think he's like... Can't a know. have chickens? See, that's what, and he's like, yeah, but chickens in your backyard. Yeah.

That's what I'm into. I just can't figure you out, I grew up with chickens in our backyard. Here's the thing. Raising's chickens is great entertainment. No. Oh, yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah.

Silk, like little baby Silkees? I guess Silkeys are always small. They kind of look like they're wearing pants when they run. Yeah, and not all that. Yeah, and the little waddle. Well, they're little. They have kind of like down on their body.

and it's real soft. I mean, real soft. But chickens are great entertainment. Oh, yeah. Martin? You got a chicken story? Not one that I can share. What?

It's a chicken. Yeah. Oh, was it that night at Popeyes? You got to understand. Okay, you're a country people. No, I'm going to send you a picture. Okay. You got a chicken coop, okay?

And you've got a hen sitting on the nest, okay? laying eggs. Ugh, chickens. Okay. Someone goes out and gathers them every morning. My uncle used to do it. Right. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh, there's something in that chicken's nest, and it ain't, it's not supposed to be there. A snake? Yeah, it's a seven-foot, seven-foot black snake. Yeah. Okay, and guess what he's doing? I'm so nervous to click on the picture. He's done, he's done, had himself,

hit breakfast. Okay. He swallowed 12 eggs. Okay, go look, my uncle comes out and he's swinging this stupid seven-foot snake with 12 eggs in him like this. And here comes the kids and he, baya. I don't believe that. Pops his head off and upside the head with an egg, okay? I can't believe that.

No, no, I'm serious. He used to do this on a daily basis, okay? You can do that, by the way. You can? Yeah, whenever I do. I did, whenever I did wood duck boxes in college, that was part of my master's program. Chicken snakes inevitably get into anything that makes a nest. So I'd open the door on one of them boxes and there's one of them big five, six foot chicken snakes in the house.

Full of eggs. Full of eggs. So for my own fun. Yeah. If you went in. Well, the management protocol is to dispatch of the snake immediately because they're big enough to get around predator guards. So like you're trying to help the wood ducks. So yeah, I would see if I could sling the eggs out of them.

And amazingly, they sling out much like a slingshot wood. When you go back forward with him. Guess I'm not that redneck. I won't touch a snake. Something got my neighbor's chicken or got after him. And then the chicken ran to the safety of my boat to get away from whatever was after him. It's a crime scene, you know. and sat there and decided I'm going to bleed all over his boat while I recover and spend the night here.

And amazingly, the chicken's fine. The chicken's fine. Well, I don't know that he's fine. He's got away. The chicken is living. Yeah, survived. If I lost that much blood, I think they'd just call it a day on me. Buddy, when I showed up to go fish another day and saw that, I said, what in the world?

That's enough blood to, like, you'd. that's more than you donate. And it's very oxygenated blood too. Very bright. That's why I was like, I think it's blood. That's probably a font. I got you. I don't know what got him,

but whatever it was couldn't get in my boat. Yeah. So my express boat was enough of a safety for the chicken to spend the night. And he could have been nice and not crapped all in my boat. Well, you know what? If you're going to get bit and bleed that much, you're going to poop. Yeah. But you're scared to death.

You couldn't just get to the edge and drop it over the side. Why'd you have to put it right in the middle of my boat, man? There's a lot of poop in that picture. I know. That's what, well, I mean, I'm sure it's scared that, never mind out of him. But, um, but, uh, yeah, anyway, there you go. That's my chicken store. I told you, I didn't want to show it to everybody.

No, this is a family show. That's my latest. You probably talked about beavers' butts and raspberries. We can't show blood on it. That was like the day I come out and check the pigeon coop. Yeah. And the cats have raised. It's a separate for eagle.

Except for eagle. Everybody but eagle made it. You're not going to sneak up on a eagle. Oh, Hunter. You got an 180 degree turn on that head. Well, Hunter, you got any parting words before we let you go back to your normal place in here? We got somebody else coming on. We do.

We got another guest today. I'm very excited. We're working our way down the podcast hall today. This is fun. I told you. We want this to be all inclusive. Everybody up here gets a lot. It's a time.

Well, most everybody. Some people, not worth hearing from. Yeah. Like Josh. No, Big Air will be here one day. But we're going to make sure he does his hair.

He's sitting right there. We're going to make sure he does his hair. You want to talk about, he's going to have to. He's going to have to. Hunter doesn't want Josh over here because to quote Josh, chronic oversherer. Yeah.

I have it today. Not today, but I'm just saying you've confided something in Josh. It probably shouldn't. You share with it. us too much live for 100,000 people to hear. Who knows what you tell Josh is just you two in the office? Silence makes me uncomfortable.

And if people aren't feeling it, I'll just fill it with whatever. Everybody stop and look at him. Don't do that. I'll quit, Jody D. That's not nice. Look at it. You can't have silence on a podcast. Good work, Hunter.

I can't. We can cut it out. Yeah. It just starts sharing. Yeah, it just starts. This is my New Year's resolution. Stop oversharing so much. It's March, bro.

Yeah, I've done great so far. Oh, you haven't? I've done moderately well. Have you ever dabbled in a cult? A cult? Yeah, I'm just curious. No. You haven't researched them?

He's worried about you. You're a chronic person who would end up in Brazil. For some reason, I've been watching a bunch of cult shows, and you kind of seem like the prototypical person to end up in one. So I'm just acting like, I'm trying to actively help you. You're too skeptical. You're like on Netflix too now, man. You've got to stop.

I find them fascinating. I always believe If the words of Willie Robertson, I could never be part of one. I could lead one. I could run one. He could run one he's dead, but I couldn't let it out.

I can't join y'all's cult, but I could probably lead it. If you need somebody to be at this top. Yeah, I know. That's weird, man. My wife watches those weird things. Yeah, me too.

I don't like those. I find them fascinating. Well, I guess that's what she does it because he just comes in there once by the time. Hey, you don't want to say nothing? I don't want to say nothing.

I don't like evil stuff. stuff. I change the channel. Well, I like to know how evil is out there playing the game. Because I don't want it to ever sneak up on somebody. Oh, I was fixing to say, it's an, you know, they play. That's what I'm saying, man. They play an entirely different game. Yeah, I like to see how they're playing the game, so I know what to look out for.

Yeah. Especially when you got kids coming up that are young and able to be molded. Oh, they're wild. And they can run the cult. That's what I'm saying. They can hunt them. Carter will make his own cult. Sometimes you've got to know the people that are hunting and what they're

doing that way you can hunt better than them if you can make sure you snuff them out if carter were to run a colt what kind of colt do you think he would run presidential yeah presidential colt yeah i asked me how to fly a plane the other night on uh playstation or something whatever his little i don't know what they are but whatever his game was and i said oh that's cool you could be a pilot and he said sir i'm going to be the president shut you i'm not going to fly yeah i'm not going to fly somebody going to fly me on air force one yeah air force one somebody else to be up in the cockpit. That's, uh,

be tight. It would be in the back. If Carter does make president, can I request one flight on Air Force one? I just think it'd be cool. Heck yeah. Yeah, amen, buddy.

Hey, I'd like to at least you something. We're going to be like 95, but we'll still have fun. I just want to ride one time on that thing. Just see what I like, I'd like to be in with him when he made the lap around the, oh,

Daytona? Oh, you're talking about the other armor car. All right, Hunter. Get out of here. We got another treadmill. Thank you. Thank you.

When we get back, we're going to bring in the black sheep of the Robertson family. Her words, not mine, so we'll be back right after this. Who could it be? Oh,

I was excited. Who could it be? Hunter, thank you for being. Oh, he's back over there. There's no Hunter Cam anymore. He's back in that direction.

What a weird 30 minutes. He's back in his little pit. But we now have Alex Robertson, Mancusa. Mancusa. Hello. She texted me last. Okay, now I know because I didn't have a clue.

You're the black sheep of your family. Again, self-described. That's not me saying that. So I just want to be clear. I think it's accurate. Well, I got a question. Right out the gate. Okay.

Why? You're the black sheep of the family. Well, I'm not very nice. Oh. That makes you on par with the rest of them. I don't know. That's about par. They can fake it, I guess.

I can't. As someone who went to high school with you, she's not lying. Oh, yeah, no, no, no, no, no. The Robertsons don't fake nothing, okay? My age group does of Robertson. There you go. Yeah, so you're a year older than me? Yeah, I think so.

Oh, you're sneaky about it. Okay, right. I can be sneaky. Yeah, okay, she's sneaky. So, Alex, do you haunt? I've been. Yeah. I was just trying to really hammering her whole.

We need to family tree. You really don't care about it, though, right? Well, I'm not an early riser, so. There you. I ain't getting out of my nice, warm bed. Yeah, I'm with you on that. Go out there and freeze. Do I really want to get out of this bed and go?

You know, if someone were to invite me to a hunt, like, in the afternoon. Afternoon. So you're a deer hunter. Yeah. Yeah, I would do it. So you're a lot like Willie. Nobody's ever asked me. Your uncle, but we do, people are going to have a conyption because we never describe who

new people are. Yeah. You are Al's youngest daughter. Yes, and arguably the best. Oh, that's because Nan ain't here to defend herself. And she won't. And she wouldn't. She wouldn't.

She might stick stone on you. We would invite Anna to have a podcast, but Hunter'd have to fill all the silence because Hunter just said he doesn't like silence. Wouldn't that be true? And Anna don't talk much. Wouldn't that be a true? Anna would just sit there and look at you. She, yeah.

So, yeah, we got Alex. Alex, you took a kind of non-traditional route. back to the business. Oh, yeah. I've been everywhere. I've been everywhere. That's about Johnny Cash, baby. I ain't know where I ain't been.

She's a classically trained pastry chef. Is that right? Is that what you're? Yeah, I graduated from pastry school. There you go. Look, where was pastry school at? DJ age. I feel like I just need to go there to visit.

I went to LSU and then I went to pastry school whenever college didn't stick. Pastry school sounds phenomenal. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. And then, of course, I ran the Ms. Kay's restaurant for about eight years until COVID killed it. There you go. Great pastries there. Great pastries. It was a blessing in disguise because now I get to work here with all you fun.

See, there you go. That's why I said, very non-traditional, kind of a circuitous route via Baton Rouge back to. Can I just? That's actually pretty amazing. You use the word succuitous correctly. Watching all this. So what do you do? Well, I'm on the production team here.

She's part of the duck call room, unashamed. Yeah, all of our podcast. And actually, you know, Martin, I think you might be the only person on this podcast. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I think you might be the only person on this podcast today that I'm not for sure related to. There you go. Hunter and I related.

We got that Ward 9 blood. Really? Wait, are y'all related? Yeah, we got cousins down the line. Wait, how are we related? I actually think... You're my cousin-in-law. Yeah, I actually think we are, actually.

Somehow, your mom is related to the Leonard. The Gibson's and the Leonard's up there in Ward 9, or somehow. My mom's a Leonard originally, so I think... Well, hey, it's a small town and people get bored easily. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, I mean, winters ain't cold, but they are lonely. You're out in the wood.

Weird hours of the late night. A friend. Early morning. Or just 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Yeah. I'm just saying, you can see some weird stuff if you go south on 34. I'm just telling the truth, okay? It only gets weirder the further south.

I don't know. The other day, you know, I'm sitting there on the door. Come in. So I'm seeing what you're standing there. You know, I said, hey, come on here. So I said, hey, come on here. So he opened the door. and he said, sorry to body, Ms. Robbins.

You didn't bother me? I said, what's going on? He said, have you seen a guy in a white pickup truck, a young male, white male? Oh, I was out when he said young. Good. But anyway, and it's got like stuff on the top. You lay pipes and stuff. Oh, headache rack.

Yeah, headache rack. Yeah. And they thought you might know where this guy was? Yeah, well, yeah. Are you paying that close of attention to everything outside? Well, I'm just saying, I'll watch you, you know. Neighborhood. son.

Hey. You never know what's going to go on. The mayor of Crackpot Ruts. Yeah. Hey. That's Balkanville. Okay. Well, I got a question for you, Martin. Go ahead.

So why are we recording early today? Oh, I got a... Yeah. I heard there was a reason for it. Yeah, I've got an... I don't have an appointment. My wife has an appointment. For what?

At a doctor? No. Oh. What could it be that made us all change our schedules? Oh. You're building our lungs around. Y'all can take this up with her. This ain't got nothing to do with me other than I thought it may be in my best interest to attend.

What? Brittany is going to, made an appointment to go somewhere close to Dallas, which is not close, mind you. You're going to Dallas today? It's closer than Israel to get a tattoo from the oldest tattoo shop in the world, allegedly. I don't know. The oldest tattoo shop in the world's next. Lucky's? Yeah.

Well, they're making a U.S. tour. So the folks from Israel come to the United States, and their deals, they got like a selection, and it's all basically resurrection-based tattoos. Okay. And they're old Israeli stamps. So, like, they're very, I don't know. I don't know a lot about it. I haven't looked into it.

Are you getting one? No. So you're driving all the way past the Buckees. Oh, if you think I'm not going to stop. And you think you ain't bringing me back. And past the Dairy Palace. I am passing Dairy Palace, too. It's right.

Yeah, it's going to be kind of a long trip. So you're going all of the? Oh, your wife is fixed to get this tattoo? Yes, today. Okay. Where on her body? I don't know. I was about saying somewhere near Dallas.

I'm a guy who has no issues with tattoos, right? I just don't want one. So, like, I don't. Oh, I have issues with them. They take a needle in. Yeah, and you're out on that. Getting in that color. I will say.

But I sat there as Johnny Dee got that one on his forearm, so that was Las Vegas. Sat there for 10 minutes of the three hours. Well, yeah, I wasn't going to sit there the whole time. I figured I'd come back and check on you. Hey, that's like watching paint dry. That one hurt. But I will say there is something to go into a bigger city to get your tattoo.

Yeah, you don't want to do it here. Because there's a reason these three fonts are very different. Move the mic. Move the mic. You know, Lottie's name looks better because I happen to be in Nashville. Lottie's name. Carter and Ben's, not going to say where, but not as impressive. I got my first tattoo here in town, and it was a was and still is now forever a complete disaster. Oh, okay.

Your first, how many you got? Oh, your choice, where you get one is important. Yeah. Well, it is. Why is it a complete disaster? It is forever. It's crooked and it's scarred and it's, it just. looks really bad. Actually, I went and tried to have it removed, but that hurt even worse than

getting the dirty. Well, you know, the good news is you didn't ask your dad to do one because he did his own on his arm. And, well, you know, that's what he said. When he saw my first one, he was like, well, at least you went to a shop to get it done. Yeah. And then my mom was like, he's going to be with his people. It's covered in touch her. Again, black sheep. That was a great Lisa. But it was, and then, guess what? Then, like, a year or two ago, she calls me and she's like, I need you make a appointment with your tattoo lady and then she went, got a tattoo. Lisa has a tattoo?

Yeah. She and my dad got matching ones. Oh, lepricons? I hope this is just out. No. Matching lepricon tattoos? Did Lisa get Lisa right here? Because Al got.

The fact that Al has just Al tattooed on his forearm and he did it himself. Tattooed is a loose term for what that is. That's more of a stencil. I got one on his. arm up here, but it has a D in the middle. My mom's name is

Lisa, but there's a D in the middle of the heart the one on his arm. And so my mom's How, you got to stop all that. Oh. Hey, them Robertson's at the front of the road a little wilder. Is Lisa had the D? That's why they keep them out of the gate.

I think actually the person whose name starts with D, I think my mama beat her up into McDonald's back in like And to think Al was just through that wall right there. That's it. Yeah. If we could just have Al slide over here.

I did ask Al about his tattoo one time. I said, Al, why did you tattoo the word Al on yourself? Like, were you afraid you'd forget it? He goes, well, John David, I was drunk. I was drunk. And 16 years old. Oh, I started laughing.

I think about getting a new tattoo, though. Are you? Yeah. You're going to go to Israel? I mean, Dallas? No, I'm not going to Dallas today. No. and like to sub that job out.

Are you worried she's going to get it too big? No, I don't care. What is it? Then why are you going? Hey, it's her body. She asked me to go. Yeah. That's why I'm going.

That's the shop around. Not. I'll drive back, yeah, because she can't see it at night. She's blind as a bat at night. You're getting so old. No, this is not a new thing. This is, she's been that way since I've known her, so I don't know. If she doesn't, if she wears her contacts at night driving, she says all the lights look

the same. Well, maybe she needs another type of appointment. Yeah, well, you know. With an eye doctor. Yeah, well, we spent a lot of money there. And I hope my kids get my eyes because, oh, I haven't adjusted for that part of the budget yet. But no, I don't, she asked me to go, so I'm going to be as supportive as I can be. And hopefully today won't end up in counseling. Well, this just words? It's a stamp. Like, look, hey, go get on your book of faces there. and you know Jennifer that worked for us Jennifer did it last week in Nashville

what she's not getting the one that Jennifer got but look at Jennifer's do they use the gun or is it the one where they tap on the Alex you're giving me way too much credit for I was actually wow I just said yes I'm gonna I'm gonna grab my computer and I'm gonna work from the passenger seat on the way over there and then I'm gonna drive back so

it seems as if did you find Jennifer Allen yeah Throw it up. You can throw up Jennifer's tat. She was in here the other day showing it off there. Yeah. So they take a stamp, they stamp you, and then they tattoo you? Yeah.

So that's what they do. Okay. They're all old stamps. And you got drive to Israel to get that. Well. Oh. See, Christian got one. There you go.

Well, if Christian's doing it. Well, he went and did it in Israel. See, I'm more about work smarter, not harder. I ain't no buckies in Israel. No, I ain't no buckies there. You can't find, well, you can probably find plenty of briskets in Israel, but not not not slight a good thing. I'm going to have bacon on it.

Well, while she's getting resurrection tattoos, I'm thinking about getting. Something wild is about to come out of your mouth. I think I'm going to get a pastry. A pastry. Yeah. What's one? Like a,

like an eclare? Like a cinnamon bun. Oh, on your. On the bun. Yeah. So why don't you, I mean, at that point.

It was my husband's idea. At that point, you could just. It was my husband's idea. It was my husband's idea. Okay. You know what I will say about Alex working in this office about, once a week roughly on average.

She walks into my office with something within a Tupperware that says, Mom told me to give you this. And it can be anything for Mexican cornbread, beans. Last week was chicken and dumplings. And my ratty little kids stole them from me. So they do approve of Lisa's chicken and dumplings. I've tried to make them chicken dumplings before. They go, I don't like it.

and then so I sat the bowl of Lisa's in front of them and they just went both hands in and I said yeah that's about right okay so I'd like her as better I like hers better myself so I gotta be honest she didn't tell me to do that I just did that because I was hoping you'd invite me on the pocket oh I told you I never knew I've been trying to weasel my way in here for a while so well here's a deal on that and I told you in the text message when he sent you I never know sometimes about separation of church and state that's what I like to call it like when family that works for one side of the business I just don't know all the rules that we have in them.

So I never, I never want to confuse anything. Plus, I don't ever want anybody to feel like, oh, crap, I got to say yes. Like, I'd rather.

Actually, I do want people to feel like that. But now that we can, well, there's two people I'd really like to have on here too, right? Beth and Harry. Harry's not. I know,

but the prophet, I feel like the whole world needs to get to know Harry profit. He's also an IT at the end. Harry doesn't want, uh-uh. I feel like that's an episode of another show that maybe you want. to be on.

What's that? I don't know, not this one. I like Harry. He's an interesting guy who the closer he gets to retirement becomes way more savage in his old age. And I love it. He's a little lippy now. He is lippy and like he is the anti-us.

Oh, that happens when you're getting close to the retirement. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because, oh, no, okay. You've had it. You've had it up here. I must be pretty close.

Yeah. Oh, wow. No, you just, some people overachievers, Alex. I think that's where you fit in. Yeah. Oh, show. No. No.

I just never want anybody to feel like, oh, crap, I have to do that. So I want you to, I'm glad that you volunteer. And look, anytime you want to come back, all you got to do is send the text message, right? I kind of want Alex and Stone. Of course, what people don't know. To be on the same episode. You know, y'all are neighbors, right? Like, there's a fence in between y'-law.

What's it like being Stone's brother-in-law? Well, I'm his sister-in-law. Oh, yeah. Whatever. What's it like having Stone as a brother-in-law? Yeah. That's a real Al and Lisa catch. Stone is what I call an assing.

Well, that was close. Wow. I really thought I was going a different way. Don't know. So it's a very good asset to be involved with. He's a great cook. Si-hyphenated that word. Yeah.

Okay. He's a great cook. He's been my brother-in-law for over half my life. But of people like, y'all are all afraid of him. I ain't scared of him. We have tied into it so, well, not like a bunch of times. I mean, we've tied into it a few times. Yeah, because y'all both speak your mind.

Verboly. I ain't scared of Jay. I just, he's all with, he ain't ever got to look for a reason to be pissed off, so I don't ever give him more. Well, he married, he married the right sister because. Quiet. Yeah. Yeah.

One that, uh. Not as lippy. No nonsense now. One that I ain't going to. Okay. She might get you back, but she ain't going to, you ain't going to see it coming. Yeah. She quite,

what, she's like that elephant. You don't forget. And buddy, it's coming. And you never know when. I sent your sister home one day because I showed her a picture of a snake.

She threw my phone. She left for like a day and a half. She's more scared of them inside. Yeah. Well, I've been her getting along in that respect. Well, actually, before he married my sister,

before they started dating, he was my basketball coach. in middle school. Okay. So I had him as a basketball coach for seventh and eighth grade. He was coach Stone. Yeah. Before he went to Afghanistan.

Oh, that's good. He would always say, you be on her like a rat on a Cheeto. That was his line. Rat on a Cheeto. That's the Stone line. You gotta have the lines, boys. He can't even get away from coaching. Now he's back teaching people out and choke each other out.

So I guess once a coach, always a coach. He is a coach. But Alex, you got three kids, right? I'm just trying to let the people get to know we're about out of time here, but you got three of them. Yeah, and actually, you know what? I think, J.D., I think we were in the hospital within, like, at the same time with all three of our kids.

Really? Because they're all the same age. Yeah, we're all real right. Like within two days for our kids. Y'all could have set a calendar. Who's birthday is this week? Is one of them this? Doc?

No, March 19th is Corbyn. Okay. Yeah. And you got Carter. March 8. Yeah. There's into this way. So pretty close.

Carter's 11 and 358th of 65th or something. But on the update on Phil and Kaye. Yeah. Okay. I spent some time Sunday with Jersey Joe. Yeah. So he had told me, you know, that he's had, he has his good days and he has his bad days. Well, don't we?

Here lately, he's had a few bad days. Yeah. So it happens. It's one of them things that, hey, look, when you get me in Phil's age, okay. there's stuff that comes along with getting old. Okay. That's just life, okay? And you have to deal with it, you know.

Well, I saw it. It's hard to watch. A buddy of mine's a plumber, and I saw he had to go out there and fix something at their house, and said they were just the nicest, most caring people. And I was like, well, yeah, that's who feeling they are. So he must have been having a good day while a plumber was there. So that's a good thing.

Well, the two of them throughout all this have been, like, best friends. I mean, they've always loved each other, of course. They've been married for 60 years. But now they're like inseparable. They don't even want to be out of the same rent. Oh, Phel and Kay? Yeah. Yeah, because they weren't like that until recently.

No, they used to keep a healthy separation. Phil be on the land and K be uptown. Yeah. Oh, that's like you said, hey, bury me in the woods. Yeah, they'd reconvene around dinner time and that was about it. Yeah. They were always doing it. And now, yeah, they're joined at the hip.

It's kind of cute, actually. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it gives you hope. Relationship goals. Yeah. First time anybody ever called Phil cute. Well, first time in 60 years.

Oh, shoot. Well, I guess Johnny D. I got you. A little black sheep verse. A little black sheep. Isaiah 118, come now, let us settle the matter, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, they shall be like, well, Alex, you might be the black sheet of the Robertsons, but you're always welcome in here.

And if you feel like a black sheet out there, there's a place for you, and it's with Jesus. I feel like I fit in in this room. Also, the reason we're in this room and not in that room is because we don't fit in. So this is the place for misfits and degenerates right here. If it makes you feel any better, I'm also the black sheep of my family. No. No way, Hunter. Hunter, you're the black sheep of everything.

Yeah. I don't fit in either, Hunter. Oh, all right. Well, we'll see y'all next time right here in the Duck Call. Weirdos of the Duck Call Room, Unite.
