Right before hunting. July 4th. Hey, everybody's celebrating. They all ride up over hunting season starting. Yeah, that's what it is. Yep. I don't know what we're talking about. We're trying to figure out why so many people we know is born in April.

Born in April. But there are clusters of birthdays at this office, which is kind of weird. Like there's a bunch of them right around April, mid to end of April. And in mid end of August. This first of September is another wad of them. January. I was born September the 6th. I know what it is.

It's 90 days after duck season closed. No, it's 60 days after duck season closed. What does that have to do with anything? Because, hey, during duck season, they're widows. The women are with us. But it takes longer than 60 days, Hammer. Well, Hamer, I'm just saying, hey, I just, I said January, March, April, but it's really March April because January 31st.

is when it usually closes. So it's 60 days after the duck season closes. You are aware that a human... And everybody's celebrating. You do realize. Especially the women. Human gestation is like 40 weeks, right? I was going to say...

It's close to nine months. That's a big word. Yeah, I was going to put it in layman's terms. It takes nine months to cook a baby there, so. Hey, that's it. Almost me. They say, hey, one... He said, that's what they say.

There's one in the oven. It's bacon. Slowly. It ain't baking. That's for sure. Bacon. Bacon is good. Some of y'all's kids are bad.

No, no. I'm talking about baking. Baking. Baking. Not bacon. I got confused. They sound like. Here we go, boys.

We're going on food already. And I hadn't even had dinner yet. That's terrible. Well, I hope you wouldn't have dinner. I'm going to grill up some chickens tonight. Are you? What piece of him? The breast and the thighs.

Thighs. Oh, then break pads. Mm. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, I love them chicken break pads, boy, they're good. Me and Martin once cleaned and Popeyes out of chicken thighs. Spicy chicken thighs. You just give all the chicken thighs in these two buckets.

I had that little card. You buy you a three-piece. You got a free two-piece, and I said, make all five of them thighs and make them spicy. All thighs. He's the thighs, man. Oh, I love a chicken thigh. How are you cooking them? I'm going to grill him. He's grilling them.

Smoking them. He's grilling them, boys. Low and slow. I like it. Yeah. So you got... You boys have lost your mind. About what?

About everything. So hold on. What's your favorite piece of chicken? The thigh? No. No, you're the pulley ball. The leg. I thought you was a pulley ball.

I'm a leg man. Are you? Yeah, I'm a legman. They ain't but two bites on a leg. I know it and they're excellent. That thigh, he gets rolled out. So size is. on them landing gears.

That's it. Johnny D. You're a thigh man. I know that. You're a thigh man. Mm-hmm. And I'm a thigh man. There's a lot of legless.

We're talking about chicken, right? Well, hey, now, here's the deal, okay. You got to understand? I said leg. Well, hey, there's a thigh connected to the leg, boys. Oh, so you're after that quarter. You're after that. Hey.

Yeah. You're after that quarter. Yeah. That chicken quarter. That's what he's after. Glutton. Well, then that's more than two-bye. He called you a glutton.

Oh. I do eat some fried chicken. There ain't nothing I love more than going to the grocery store. Do you go into that chicken section? And you see that batch of thighs that come off of them really young chicken. They're kind of small. You can almost, if you wanted to, probably bite through the bone. Have you had any of the field sticky chicken?

Of course I have. And his fried chicken? That is bad to the bone. To the bone. The first time I've seen him cooking and he opened the, the Dutch oven, the top of it, off of it. And I look, and there's about 12 pieces of garlic, about that big around in the bottom of the pan with that chicken.

And I said, God, I feel I ain't going to be able to eat that. That's going to be two. Keeping vampires a lot. You know, I said, that's going to be. He said, no, yeah. He said, you won't believe it. He said, you'll like it. I said, oh, I ain't able to eat that.

He said, oh, yeah, you like it. Well, hey, we get ready. And, you know, I get me a couple. one little piece first, you know, because I don't think I could eat it. First of them just, it's nothing but the bone left. What was that last part? It's gone. You just slurped it right up there?

No, that was just, hey, you know, and you're talking about fine, so, hey, the next time I give me about four pieces. Hey, when we worked down there, though, me and I would fight over that pulley ball. Kay said the first time she ate with us at Sir Robertson's, I stuck a little fork in her hand because you, was grabbing the last piece of the chicken she tells that story that's a lie

but I mean she tells it she went she went to your class of storytelling huh oh yeah yeah she doesn't tell one on me telling me I don't stab her hand with a fork because she grabbed the last piece of chicken which was a leg

that sounds like something me or goblin would do for sure I'm grabbing in there with my meat claws yeah I ain't there in a fork Don't grab a last-pit chicken as it's Robertson-Ey-Hen. You get a fork in your hand. Yeah, my grandpa used to tell me you draw back a nub.

That's what he always told me. Draw back a nub. I'm nervous. I'm going to draw back a nub just sitting at this table because he's always hitting me and making movements. That's so wild because I just had the urge to don't pop you right then. I did. Right before he said it, I just started doubling my fist up.

I sure am glad I sit by God. He was beating on that table. when he come in. I know. There's a lot more love on this side of room and it is over. We got tons of love. We just throw it out. Show it in weird ways.

Very weird ways. Oh, Lord, have mercy. But it's been a good week. Look, we coming off probably, I would suspect here in Louisiana, our last cold front. It'd probably be the last time we feel temperatures like this until November. I mean, we always get one right about now. And that pretty well wraps it up. open the door to the humidity.

Yep. I hope we don't see no storm like me and Paula went down there to house to see. You wouldn't hear for that storm, man, was it rough? No, it was worse down there. Was it rough? I don't know about worse now. Boy, we was upstairs and the wind's blowing and all of a sudden, hell started hitting it.

It was down, right down from us a mile. It was like baseball, side. He was knocking the wind shields and backglasses and side mirrors laying on the ground. Can you imagine having a, I mean, traveling and, you know, going down out on vacation. Discount car sales. I might going to get home. Discount car sales. Hey, if you're really lucky, like O'Lea, you'll end up on your favorite podcast.

You might do it. Car breaks down. Hey, here she is. Sometimes getting stranded ain't a bad thing. That's it. I do notice you're a lot darker than when you went. Yeah. What you got against sunscreen?

We did. We didn't. No. We stayed inside. It rained the whole time. It must have been an anniversary trip, you know. We's going to go to the beach and lay it. No.

You just laid there, night? I fixed. I put shower heads on. So you were the handyman? Yeah, tightened up. Handi man. Well, you got to earn you keep. Well, it rained every day.

Yeah. It was sunshining when we drove down there, and it was sunshining when we drove home. Well, that tells you all you need to. to know about the beach right there. Well, I tell you. The best times about the beach are going and coming. That's it.

Why you're there is misery. No, misery. Yeah. We just sit inside. Especially if you didn't haul your boat. We did get the old chef Chris. He cooked us up a fine dinner Saturday night. What did he cook?

Scalips and smoked oysters. Mm-hmm. And then I forget what they call them the deep water shrimp. It tastes like lobster, the red, something, royal reds or something. We had some sheepheads, and he had some kind of sauce on, kind of like Etti Faye on top of it. Yeah, cream sauce on it. Yeah, with crawfee.

Like in a chaffalaya sauce or something. Yeah. And, uh, seared. What was you talking about a big red like a lobster? Them royal red shrimp, them deep cold water shrimp. I think a lot of people, we call them shrimp. I think most people refer to them as prawns when they get to that. They're not real big.

They're just a little bigger than what you see here. But, man, them suckers taste good. Was it? Oh, Chris can throw down. He can't. Chris, he can throw down. He did the food at our wedding. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, he had that prime rib over there. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's good. The seared tuna. Well. I'm getting hungry. Yeah, we got to. I didn't eat lunch.

I was a really thing. Y'all ready to go. We're going to go grab lunch. We'll be right back after our first break. We'll be right back. after lunch if we're a little sleeping. 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, ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sal 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 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. And we're back. Now we're all. My weekend last, I never know. During break, Cy talks like,

this show never stops even when we're on breaks. I never know when we're going when we're not. Last weekend was an excellent weekend for me in BK. Because we went bass fishing and she stepped me. Oh, yeah. We got right down to it. But we did catch, okay. Between us, we caught 10 fish,

five and a half pound average, boys. 50 pounds. That would have won the bass masters this weekend. What are you sitting over so depressed? Were you here Tuesday? Thursday? For the Thursday episode? Have we said something about that?

Have we said it? We showed the pictures we did. I mean. Well, see, I wouldn't, I ain't paying attention to what you were doing. You were the one telling the story. Uh-oh. That's bad. That's bad because I don't remember telling us.

Remember I pulled up the picture? I apologize. of that. Do you remember when I pulled up the picture of you and BK and you're holding a little dainty fish? No, I just, we talked about it before.

He got that COVID brain, son. COVID brain, you got that COVID brain. Golly, it's eating away at the short-term memory. Sorry about that, folks. No, you're fine. Hey.

No, it ain't. They probably won't ever hear it. Well, they may. Look, that's the old age is you don't remember everything. Okay. Old age is creeping in, boys. The world's greatest storytellers starting to not remember things. It's all downhill from here.

down here. At least he's got good story. I don't mind listening to Most of the size story twice. No, actually I think they're getting better. It's like there's details that are changing that are way better. I'm super curious to run back old Eagle the Pigeon. I could sit here and be happy with that. That's how's favorite one.

I agree. I concur. I concur with Eagle the pigeon. That is funny. So I just went straight. Well, you weren't here. So maybe he was just trying to tell Gaima. Maybe my back. It was such a great. I got the pictures. It was such a great weekend. As it was happening. Hey, sometimes you have such a good weekend.

You've got to tell about it twice. Just run it back, boy. You don't remember who you tell. Hey, look, anytime you catch 50 pounds of bass. Thank you. Five pound average. On one outing. Hey, that would have won the bass masters.

Me and BK will clean up 300 grand. Two ways, one 50 a piece. Thank you. Thank you very much. Before taxes. Before taxed. Yeah. Oh, it is tax time, too.

Why did we just go so negative? I don't know. I thought this was a positive non-political. I happen. Well, when you're talking about taxes? Taxes. I don't, are taxes political? I mean, I guess a tax increase is political, but you got to pay them.

Man, what else are you going to do? Not pay them? I ain't going to jail. Go to go directly to jail. Do not collect $200. Yeah. In fact, pay. $200. Pay $200.

That's what y'all should have done when he's locked in the beach was playing Monopoly, man. I got Monopoly Jr. now. Do you? Is that the fast one? Yeah, it's $1 bills only. Yeah. Man, I love Monopoly. I'm the two-time raining champ.

Well, I would hope so. You're playing a seven, four, and two-year-old. It was a job. And your majors was finance. I'm just teaching them about, it's teaching them finances. I did feel bad. The first time. we played, Carter did not, he'd never bought anything.

Make an interest. Monopoly goes too long. If you play it right, it does. Well, it's boring. When it gets down to people, when bankruptcy gets on the line, it gets fun. Well, it gets fun. people's true colors, yeah. What's your favorite board game?

Yeah, what game? You were around when all the board games were made. So which one do you? I like chest. Back in the 19-Hod. I like Chess. Okay. Me too.

Chast. But Chess is real complicated, so you know, back it up one. Like, not checkers, but chess. Let's go to checkers. Oh, okay, yeah. Let's go to checkers because, hey, chest, that can get long. Especially when it's a grudge match and you're sitting there forever. say, hey, it's been your move for an hour.

Are you going to move? And this is in chest? And it's in chess, yes. Okay, no, hey, look, when you play some of my time limit, they have him third. No, there ain't no time limit. Well, that's for the circuit. That's Bobby Fisher and them boys. Because they've got to have a time limit, or either they'll be sitting there like

Are you just plain dumb? Are you an eggno-ray moose or are you pretty smart? No, I'm pretty smart. I know how to beat it. I'm a smart fellow. Yeah. Every time. Yeah, somebody bought it for me at one time and I memorized the little.

It's a trick to everything, boys. My dad took my sister at a cracker barrel every Thursday morning and she showed me how to beat it. That's right. They finally figured it about fourth. It's a trick to it. About fourth grade, my sister was like, ba-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-done. Because every Thursday morning until you're 10, you figured that out. But she ought to just take people there and hustle them.

I bet I could. I've done it before. I went to Waffle House on Tuesdays, though. There's no game. They don't have. Too much of Crackerbrow, I'm thirsty. You went to Waffle House Tuesday. That's what Dad did with us.

The game at Waffle House is, will anything of mine stick to this booth? Yes. The answer is always yes. In the words of one of our former co-workers, it's open 24-7. They never got time to clean that place. he would not eat there because he said they couldn't possibly clean it because it was open all the time I said I think they just clean it in between and by the way

is that fat boy you're talking about well you call everybody fat boy no hey I'm talking about the boss no he'll eat bad boy no this is your nephew your nephew John Gimbaugh who owns a restaurant that's very clean yeah but he's no longer fat he doesn't slim down boy

yeah he's a former Yeah. Former fat boy. Former fat boy. Hey, and by the way, I don't want anybody to hear me saying stuff about sticking to the booths at Waffle House thinking that that means I don't like it. I love Waffle House. We actually have this discussion. Love it. How many times have you and I combined Waffle House experiences in our life?

I don't know. Well over a thousand. For well over a year, I ate breakfast there every morning with the same three old men. I sure did. That's amazing. I come in every day with my Waffle House cut. Every day. Waffle House is good food.

Guaranteed it. Okay. Anything cooked on a griddle is good. I love hash browns. Me too. And the bacon, bill teed, boys. Hey. So.

Yeah, scattered smothered covered. That's my order. You like the onions? Onions. I like that sucker covered and chunked. That's tomatoes, isn't it? No, that's ham. A ham.

There's two things I ain't ever had at the Waffle House, Bert's chili and the T-Bone. I've had the T-Bone. Not bad. Really? Surprisingly good for a Waffle House T-Bone steak. Well, what's wrong with Bert's chili? I don't know.

It's Bert, man. I don't know who bird is. You don't even know who is? I don't even know who Bird is. I don't eat Wendy's Chili either. Yeah, no. I may have it going there next day too and see. Bert, hey, what about your chili, son?

I'd recommend. We're discussing it the other day. Let's have a little bit of it. I'd recommend a Zan tax size of a hockey puck before you go down that road. Oh, whoa. In other words, Bert's chili? It looks like it could give a little mild case of heartburn.

Does Bert make it or Ernie? I would suspect if Ernie made it, it'd be Ernie's chili. That's right. I don't think it's like a Sesame Street. Bart may be taking all the credit. He could be. Ernie managed me taking the credit board on Bert Silly. I don't ever remember which one I like more,

Bird or Ernie. I can't remember which one's with. I think Bert's the long-faced fella. Isn't it? And Ernie is the orange circle-faced fellow with the red nose. Oh, I'm an Ernie man then. He's an army man. Yeah.

officially performed by Carol Spine, from 1969 to 2018. He is an 8-foot, 2-inch, tall, bright, yellow, anthropomorphic. That's what I see. That means you're giving a bird human traits. Canary. Canary. I told you. But I knew you'd know what anthropomorphic meant.

Yeah, that means giving an animal-human trait. Hey. I told you the canary. Look there. The old man was right. The old man was right for once. He didn't even need Google. Oscar the Grouch got it right.

Well, they should have called him last. Oscar the Grouch, what is he? I thought the guy that lived in the trash can was the cookie monster. No, he's Oscar. I thought Oscar was the Cookie Monster. No, the Cookie Monster's happy and the Grouch is mad because he lives in a trash can. How could you be happy? Well, hey, tell him to get out of trash can.

Okay, and he would come in the house and say, let me tell you what we do. I said, Philip, I don't care what we do it. Don't tell me nothing about it. But it's 50 years. 50 years, man. We got to do. No, we just talked about that the other night, me and my wife. We looked at each other.

We met in the hallways past for doing something. All we did was looked at and busted out laughing. And then we both said, it's been 50 years. Oh. She said, I know. I robbed the cradle. You was only 22 when we married. And you were wearing that cool jacket with the dragon.

That's right. A black jacket with a black jacket with a black jacket. with a bright, bright red fire-breathing dragon. I wish I had it. That's what irritates me. I don't know what happened to it. I guess that I grew it. Well, it was 50 years ago.

You probably lost it in Vietnam. No, I hadn't want to come back. Oh. You were still wearing it. Hey, no, no, I was because, hey, that's how we met. I'm hit-tacking, going to the club. Okay, and her and her friend, and a guy that was in the Army with him,

me, stop and pick me up. He said, I know they got to stop, pick him up. Pick him up. Yeah, yeah. So, hey, that's how we met. Worked on dumb and dumber. Yeah, it is. What was your line to her?

What did you say to? All this happened, me and that woman getting married, all this happened because of a home-cooked meal. And look, and I had to cook the stupid meal. What she said? I cooked rice and pent old beans and, you know, we had salad and tomatoes, you know, You just cooked a bunch of sides?

And that's what it goes. Oh, yeah. So your lower bowels just... No, hey, I actually cook good food, son. I believe that. But hey... Let me tell you what, ain't good. Joe Vietnam Special.

It blown up our bathroom. That's what it is. It is what it is. I missed out. But you were smart. I was worried about that Vietnam special when you pulled that spam out. But when that spam went to the skillet, I said, oh, he know where he had. That's it, boy.

Fried spam. Hey, spam is actually good if you know what to do with it. As long as you fry it. My mama sent that to me in a care package when I was in numb. A bunch of spam, about four jars of jalapeno peppers, my cowboy boots, and what else was that? Your teaglass. And my teaglass. There's one very important.

I've been married to it right here for 50 years. Fitty. That's pretty off. 50 years. We sit there the other night and talk about, I said, that deserves us. Hey, you know what? Did it go by?

I asked my wife, I said, did it seem like a long time? She said, it seemed like yesterday. And I said, yeah, I was thinking the same thing. And I said, can you believe we got old? 50 years. Well, hey, honey, it's been 50 years since I married you. Yeah, we got old. You gave me two children.

That's a beat. Which they're miracle babies. Yep, they wasn't supposed to happen. Oh, no, they wasn't supposed to happen. Now I've got eight grandsons. Yeah, it's pretty good. Pretty sad. The Almighty, hey, that's a plug for the Almighty right there, okay?

All the doctors had told my wife, you'll never have a child of young. And I told her, that's why it took me about 14 hours of the convincing to marry me. Because she said, nope, I've seen you with children, you love them too much, and I'm not going to marry you because I can't give you one of you own. And I said, hey, you don't understand. I know somebody. And she said, what do you mean? I said, I know somebody. I got the inside track.

Okay. If we're meant to have children, we'll have children. I've been beating the odds his whole life. That's it. That's it. Amen. Hey. No, no.

So, hey, you know. Congratulations. My two children, daughter and son, and then my eight grandsons are miracle babies from the Almighty. And the God's word tells you that. A man who quiver his full, and that's children. Okay. It's blessed, and I'm blessed. What about a man that ain't got no quiver?

Well, hey, look, he wasn't meant to have children. Yeah, I like that. Because not everybody is. That's like marriage. Not everybody's cut out for it. Cut out for it. Yeah, 50 years. That's impressive.

Hey, that's a give-and-take situation all the time. Yeah. Hey, you got to roll with the punches, boys. Well, it's one of them deals you always hear 50, I found out early on. It ain't 50-50. No. It's a hondo and a hondo.

Because if you go into it 50-50, they're going to be problems arise. You both got to give it you all to make that mess work. No, it ain't that. It's zero and a hondo. You get zero, she's going to get the hondo. Oh. It's like old Jerry Reed says, she got the gold mine and I got the shaft. He made it 50 years.

Oh, he did. I'm listening to this. Oh, I wouldn't have. If I had to do over, I wouldn't change one man. Not change nothing. Except giving that jacket away. Except I kept my own jacket with the big old fire breathing and dragon. Because I did look bad at it, I'm telling you.

Johnny D. I got an idea for his birthday present. Yep. What size jacket are you? Do you know? No, he's large. Oh, okay. That's what I wear in a shirt.

Get the luggage. Can I give that, the smiley face one to Wheeler? Okay. I want to give the smiley face one to Wheeler. To Jacob Wheeler? Yeah. Jacob Wheeler? You know, so he catches in Beggins, he goes Ding and hits a bell.

That's a funny bail. He had one on ice chair. I like it. Every time I, B.K. starts to catch one. Dean? Yeah. That's all you got to say. You know how to bail that?

I think I fixed it. I love it. See, all right, let's see. Uh-oh. Let's see. Uh-oh. I did not fix it. You're going to have to give it to go.

Godwin. He's a parts changer. He's a parts changer. Give it to me. Give it to him. Take it over. He'll, you'll lose it. I'll build it. I'm walking over there. Walking. Walking.

Walking. Walking. Walking in front of the camera, walking. That's not annoying at all. No, that isn't annoying. That's like giving you kids a toy in church. Are you going to be able to not hit that? Bellhop, bell hop.

Come get the luggage. Is it broke up? Hold it. I can't do it. Where's the other piece? We need the wrangor. Right there. That's beyond my control.

Okay. We got a bell, gang. I got it. Hey, flip out the other one over. Show it to us real quick. I need the sprang. It ain't a sprang. There ain't no sprying.

I had it right. It just fell. The triangle's down. Triangles down. Triangles down. It punches. Oh, I see it. It hits the little flat part and hits the

triangle out towards the bell. Ladies and gentlemen, we got it. We got it. Oh, I gave it back to Saia. It's not going to stop. He's not going to be our shortest watch. He's not going to stop, boy. Oh, I like that.

You like what? I like the little face on it. All right. While he's fixing that one, testing, fire to help. Oh, it's worth for us. Oh, boy. All right, let's see. We're back.

All right, a fan named Daniel. He asked a question about Cy and snakes. Cy, are you still scared of him? Yes, yes, very much. He said, thank you for asking. I will kill you. Thanks for asking his question on the podcast, Daniel. Thanks for sending it in.

And from one veteran to another veteran, thank you for your service. That's awesome right there. He sent us a flag of the United States Marine Corps. And as always, we are super appreciative of our veterans, our Marines, our Army. So we're going to put that up there in our flag collection. We're building one back there. We'll hold it here for now. That's the devil dogs, sir.

Devil dogs. You don't want to mess with no Marines. Do not mess with the devil dogs, boys. Here's my favorite one. By you. Yeah, wait till you all see this one. My boy, Lee Ray is concerned about my health. He said, this is to protect me from getting pistol whipped.

There you go. Put it on. Put it on. All right. Now, turn right here. Hold on. Let me put my headphones on. You can't feel.

a thing. Hit him harder. Oh, I can make you feel it, buddy. Get that stick. I'm solid. I'm just glad Stone's not here. He has a... He has a...

Hey, Stone's a... Hey, next time Stone here, what else we got in the mailbag? Hey, Stone's going to... Stone's going to whip you the next time you put that on. Stone ain't touching me. Oh, yeah, he's fixing to beat you up. Do you all understand me?

Yeah. I can't even hear myself. I did... I can't talk with this stuff. He got that up. He got to take it all. Oh, by the way, yeah. So.

I didn't want to get punched. For those of you that can't see, I'm thinking of YouTube here, Johnny D. put on boxing headgear. That's what he was putting on out. It's a nice one, too. Learay did. Yeah. He spilled.

Top of the line. Yeah, it is top of the line. Yeah. Put it on. I'm no pro at it, but. Hey, I ain't going to put it on. That's because nobody's going to hit you. They're going to hit me.

Oh, that hit me? You're going to piss, though. People are concerned. Look. That's a target. If you put that on, that's a target, JD. Oh, yeah. Everybody's going to hit you.

Everybody's going to put it on. Bam, bam. Somebody's going to hit me. Also, I got a package in from the Morley family. I mentioned in passing, I think. The Morley? The Morley family. Okay.

That my daughter now is allergic to peanuts, and they've had some problems with that. She sent me like a book, some advice. So that's just, our fans are, we're forming like a little family here, Martin. Well, that's nice. That was very nice. It was very kind of her. So Morley was.

We appreciate it. And then, you know, the last gift. It wasn't from a fan. Willie sent me body wash. I don't know if you listen. Willie said, B.O. Take a bath. He sent me Wild Willie's cool body cleanse for men.

He ain't got off of it, too. And Wild Willie's wild body wash for men. The wild body wash and the cool body wash. They're invigorating is what it says. Invigorating. Invigorating. It does smell. good though Martin. Do you want a bottle?

Try it out, Jenny. Do you want a bottle? I think you need all of... Hey, boss. Appreciate it for you. Why is it for me, huh? I think you need all to help you can get. Willie said you stink. What I heard. It was one time. Hey, maybe two.

Allegedly. Yeah, so that is, I think that's all the stuff we got in the mail today. Perfect. This week, including the birthday card, and I'm sure the mail will go crazy next week with a size birthday coming up. You know what you need to send Willie?

What do I need to send? I'm very curious. An invoice. A big no. That big giant thing they used on Ghostbusters, the big giant marshmallow, that's what you need to send Willie.

There's a giant marshmallow man. And say, hey, lose some weight fat boy. Hey. He's always getting in your case about stinking like a hog. I get all over him, son. He stink like a hog.

That's what friends are for. Me and whether. Oh, no, hey, he's done turning the dogs, lose, JD. Go ahead and put yours out, stick him, boys. I thought that was hilarious, though. Now I have, hey, I just saved like $8 on soap. Well, look, let's take our last break. We'll come back and we'll get in the...

We got some email. Hello at duckcallroom.com. Don't go nowhere, folks. What he said. Oh, okay, anyway. Hello at dot callroom.com. That's it. Hello at duckcallroom.com for the emails.

I get it now. What we got. Oh, Godwin. we got a bunch of questions for you about cold water. A, Sterling asked from Sacktown, California. What would it take for you to do the cryotherapy thing where you get in the freezer basically? What is that? I was just fixing that as the same.

Martin, you might be better explaining it than me. Is that what it is? Cryothermic? Cryotherapy. Yeah, cryotherapy. So you get in like a cold chamber, super cold. It's like negative 40 degrees. They'll give you.

stuff to protect your fingers and your toes a lot of times. Why are we doing this? For muscle recuperation. There we go. See, I knew Martin. So you freeze your body to recuperate your muscles? Yeah. I mean, they've been doing... You don't want to think about the doctors that come up with this? He's a duck, boys.

He's a duck, quack, well, here's what I'm saying, everybody's using it now. All the athletes. 40, 40 below zero. Something like that. It's cold. Yeah. Just walk in there. Basically. So you got socks on and gloves on. And nothing but a smile.

I think you should do it. For how long you got to be in there? That I don't know. I don't think it's very long. And how much money they're going to give me. They're asking you what it would take. Yeah. Oh, that's what they was asking.

They want to know. What would it take to get you in there? What would it take? Yeah. For you to freeze. $150,000. For $2?000. For two minutes?

For two minutes? Oh, you'd do it for $150,000 for $150,000? for two minutes? I'll do it for $150 for two minutes. No, I'll do it for a 20. No, I ain't doing it. Lunch for two. I wouldn't do it for a penny. No, you don't like being cold.

Cold, well, cold, cold air is not as bad as cold water. So how much for you to take an ice bath then, like we used to have to do after a football game? In cold water. No, I wouldn't do that. With ice. All right. Speaking of cold water, Jason, email. then are you against drinking cold water?

No. So you'll drink cold water, you just don't want it touching you. Well, here's one for you. Ms. Paula, she don't like the air conditioner on at night. She gets cold. But she'll get in 50-degree water and wade around in it and catch them a trap. Now, that don't make no sense to me either. Don't like the air conditioning on at night.

No. She gets cold. Well, you need to slide over her, big fella. So. Well, we cut it up, but she's sending you a message. Now,

she wears, she puts on thick nightgowns and everything. Well, see, my wife is the exact opposite at night. She'll go in there

and want to turn it down to 62 and then put seven blankets on the bed because she wants to be cuddled up in a blanket. Oh, no, no, no. I don't get it.

No, I do. I do. Do you? Yeah, I do. You like a blanket? Oh, no, no, no, because it's what it is, okay. The blanket.

No, no, no. There's nothing better than getting in a bed that's got like several quilt with the acciditioner turned down. Because once you slide in, the weight of the covered on you, you can't even move. So size on that weighted blanket bag. That's right. I bought Allison a weighted blanket. A hurricane couldn't put it off of you.

The weighted blanket. That's the deal. So where was this guy going with it? He's just curious. Everybody's curious about you and cold water. I just don't like cold water on my bed. belly. It locks up.

What about on your ankles and your feet? I can go that. He locks up? It's just when it hits my belly. He locks up? My back just, it just, my muscles just. I don't know what it does, but it hurts. I know that.

He's got an isophobic. So would you go fly fishing in the cold water? Will, uh, from Arlington, Virginia, asks us our opinion. With waiters on? On flyfish. See, I go fly fishing with Willie every year in Montana and I just do it in a swimsuit. And it's, I mean, it's cold. It's cold.

Yeah. But it feels good. Do y'all catch anything? Where'd y'all go? Snake River? I've told my legs. Big horn. I mean, legs.

It's just when it's something about it. I don't know. It's something when it gets around that waistline. It just, it don't do it. Yeah. My muscles just, it locks me up. So you ain't fly fish. And it hurts.

It hurts. Y'all were waiters. Fly fishing's okay in waiters. But what is our opinion on fly fishing while we're there? I love it. I guess fun. Spinning rods way better. You got to, I'll fix it.

You got to be a little more talented. Yeah. I hate to fly fish. No, it's not talent. It's about efficiency. Yeah. Well, if you're going to catch him, you've got to be talented. But if you want to be efficient.

A spinner bag. A spinning rod. Flick it up every time. Well, I'm just saying it takes more talented flyfish. And I'll be honest, too. It takes more practice. Fly fishing is more just for funzies because you ain't eating. And you ain't going to fly fish nothing around here.

And we can't. Well, you can do blueguils. Well, you can for like a month out of the year. Everywhere else you can fly fish all year long because the water's a foot deep. Yeah. Down here, the water's a foot deep to get 97 degrees during the middle of summer. Don't let them live up there. Yeah, ain't nothing going to be there.

Yeah. So that's, there's our opinion on fly fishing. Oh, I do it. It's fun. I do it. I've done it. And I'll do it again. It's slow.

It's just, it's something we do. It's too slow. It's made for cooler. climate. It's very active. It's too slow. Yeah, it's too slow. So what's the next?

Because when you're flying fishing, I'll catch 10 fish. No, I catch 20 fished you're ever won. Yeah. Efficiency. Yeah. Well, thanks. Well, yeah. All right.

So my man Chase, he's 13 years old. He's seen every episode of Duck Dynasty and the Duck Call Room and he needs something to live up to. So he's got some goals to set. And he wants to know the biggest cropy we've ever caught and the biggest deer we've ever killed. My biggest crop is 354, which is 3 pounds and 9 ounces. Good. And that's a good one. All right, well, I'm done.

Not going to tell mine. That's a good one. Y'all, and you remember the 3 pound claw? No, not yet. I'm 287. I call it a 4-pounder, but it's not verifiable. Turtle ate it. Nope, that's it. How's it not verifiable? Because I didn't weigh him.

Turtled. Hey, look, I had one the day before that I measured. The one the day before was 17 and 3 quarters inches long. So if we had a tape measure, you could pull that out. That's about two and a quarter. That's a good one. Okay. Well, the one I caught the next day, I didn't have my tape measure on me. He would have ate that first one that I caught the day before.

So, hey, he was four pounds. Trust me. Four pounds. And out of a pond on a golf course. Okay, look. And here's the deal. Here's the deal. We're always first.

Fertilizing the green. The pond is right beside the green. It's running off the fertilizer. Fertilizer makes them things grow bigger. Yeah. Lots of algae. Lots of bait fish. Oh, yeah, and a lot of fish.

And hey, hey, the guy that was watching me catch him thought I had a seven-pound bass when he walked on the top of the water. Instead, you had a five-pound drum. I mean, four-pound crop-pey. No, I have four-pound crop. And he told me, you know, you should put it in the cooler. It tastes perfect. I said, nope, they bite them. So what else is our goal?

What's the next big story? I wanted to share my croppy story. I thought you said you did. I mean, it ain't three and a half. So I got a good story. My dad, I always wanted a mount of fish. So my dad took me croppy fishing. He said, if you catch one over two pounds, we'll mount it.

And I caught six of them that were all two and a half pounds. Where did y'all go? Yeah. Cany Lake. Oh, it was a good night. But that night, and we mounted one of us, still in my room at my parents' house. Two and a half? Two and a half.

Two and a half. I was about 10. That's not just any croppy. That's a black cropping. Pretty. Pretty. Pretty, pretty, pretty. And then biggest deer, I'll go first because I'm smallest for sure,

128 inches. 154. One, really? That one from two years ago. Yeah. That one from five. We got a tie over there. Hyatt winner.

Mine was 200 and something. It was. In Texas. He shot a box of bullets to get him. Oh, God, he got. How did? I didn't shoot a box, but I did shot shooting five times. Oh, boy.

All right. Next question. Well, Johnny, Dave, what you got? There you go. Oh, no, I actually got something I want to do this one, and I've lost. What did I tell you about that bail one ago? Hold on. What just happened?

You hit it again. Did you touch my computer? No, I ain't touch your... Hey, I'm sitting next to it. It's lobby or run amok. He ached out of it. Hold on. I had the Bible verse already.

You had it already, and it? You had one job, Sean. All right. Hey, no, I'm right there. It's in Leviticus. I know that much. Old Testament, boy. I'm pretty sure. Leviticus

3. We're going to guess at this. Old Testament. Leviticus 3.22? Was it? It is. Oh, look at me.

All right. Nope. Lamentations. That was close enough. Lamentations 3, 22, and 23. You had a 50-pity chank. Yeah, I was. They both started with an L.

So, lamentations. Hey. Or so does Luke. Lamentations. Size are. made a plug for a faithful god so we're going with that lamentations three 22 and 23 because of the lord's great love we are not consumed for his compassion's never fail they are new every morning great is thy faithfulness and now i want you to do something if you've listened for an hour

go click on youtube or spotify wherever you're listening go to maverick city music and listen to the song promises and it's going to blow your mind but Anyway, great is that faithfulness. How's that one? Fifty years of marriage. That was good enough. Yep. That was a good one.

I'm ready to party with you Saturday night. Let's do it. All right. We're out.
