Duck Call Room - Uncle Si Is in Awe of the Actors Who Played Him in the New Robertson Movie

Episode Date: July 6, 2023

Uncle Si and the boys caught a sneak peek of the Robertson origin story, "The Blind," and for once, Si was speechless! (Though he thinks a certain classic rock song would have made the whole thing better.) Stone and John-David were pleasantly surprised at how well-made the movie was, and they both admit to getting choked up during the experience! Si and Stone’s fishing stories make Godwin excited to hit the water again ASAP, and the boys figure out exactly how they feel about people who exclusively back into parking spaces. "The Blind" hits theaters Sept. 28th.

That little blue healer we got, Libby. That's a funny dog. She catches flies. Eats them. Your dog eats flies? Blue healer. If you want a good dog, you get you a blue healer. I had a blue healer in the fourth grade named Rocco.

Rocco. I don't know whatever happened to Rocco. So she'll be sitting there and you can see, I kind of like that scene of that movie with old Jack Elam. His eyes are looking. Oh, yeah. Her eyes will be, she'll be dead still, but her eyes are moving. She's always... A fly, a fly come by, she'll come by.

Catch it. Eating a fly cat. Eating flies. That dog's part frog. As quickly as you can. Well, welcome back to the duck call room. We're back. I haven't been here in like two weeks.

Where'd you go? Where are you being? I went to Colorado, then I was in Colorado. Then you were in Colorado. Creed, Colorado. I was in Devon. Elevation. 8,863 feet.

I feel like a one-oh. If you got lungs problems, you don't need to go up there. Yeah, how did you make it? Hey. Because I thought I was going to die. I had an oxygen bottle the whole time out of there. Good call. Boy, there ain't no iron up there.

There's none. My aunt and uncle moved there from Shinnie Lake to divide Colorado at 9,000 feet, and I don't know how they ever breathe. No, no. You just... It really is. I learned something though that back in the 1800s

Creed had a big silver strike miners have a dangerous job because it was up on the mountain before they went in oh no it's yeah it's dangerous can I tell you what I did do what I drove a rental minivan to the top of Pike's Peak

and my my rear end cheeks will never be the same they're still clenched it was the scariest thing They race up that thing. I know. They were racing like the day after we drove up it. And I watched them.

I was like, y'all've lost your mind. I went like 15 miles per hour, like a little old lady in a minivan with my whole family. I was like if I sneeze, my whole family's going to fall down a cliff and die. Yeah, it was like.

It was insane. That was like when I went to the Alps in Switzerland. Okay, I'm hunting. G. And we're driving along and I'm in the passenger seat. And when I look at the window, it's like a mile drop straight down. Good, Gary.

Y'all, and this guy's talking and driving. We like to win over the mountain. Not looking at the road. Had a wreck. Had a wreck. You had a wreck? Yeah. Oh, yeah, we had a wreck in the woods.

In Switzerland. I'm glad you're alive. I had to go back. We went back, you know, somebody come and got us, went back, got with my four-wheel drive. I had a big chain because we had went a little bit over the side. Yon and I had to pull his vehicle up. On your side? Yeah.

I come back up on the highway. No, it was wild. Did you have to change shorts? I'm telling you, you don't know. It's when you're in a passenger seat and you're looking out and you're looking, I mean, I mean, you wonder why, you know, am I still on the road? I'm looking straight down. So my wife was in the passenger seat and every time I would be like, oh, look over there, I'd get yelled out. Look at the road.

Yeah, keep my own road. It's weird. I'm not a mountain person. Are you scared of heights? I didn't think I was, but I'm afraid of driving heights. That's not normal to drive back and forth in a minivan. Chrysler Pacifica. Good mountain climber if you ever need one.

What got me was the different terrain. Some of the mountains, okay, stuff is growing on it, trees and grass, and then some of it, it looks like just dirt. And nothing will grow on. You get above the terrain. Ain't no iron. Well, I'm just saying it's wild looking. If it ain't no air, you can't grow. Then a lot of it was just solid rock.

That's just sticking straight up. That's a mountain. That's a wild looking. All country. Like, we've been gone from it. So we recorded some early. And so we've been gone from, what else has happened in your life? Oh, if I've seen you last.

Not much. Not much. I'm trying to get over this altitude change. Outitude. It'll get you. They gave you a headache. But we did all do one thing together in the middle of all this. What do we do?

Because, hey, my mind ain't functioning right right now. We went and watched a certain film. Oh, oh, yeah. The blind. The blind. Well, it was a screening. It wasn't a premiere. If you're listening, you probably can't figure out how to see it yet,

unless you're like an internet pirate or something. But don't do that. That would be uncool. But we all got to go see it. it's worth going to see for the simple reason you see how running up on Jesus can change your man okay because it changed my brother

drastically okay yeah it changed his whole life which is like if you throw a rock and water ripples go out from where it hits that's a good way to put it well no no I'm serious And that's poetic.

What got me about when I seen the preview, you know, is was that it impacted my brother's life. Then it impacted the whole Robertson family down the road, the future. And others. And others. The world. Yeah. Yeah. So it was pretty amazing to see what the effect was.

yeah because a lot of this would not have happened if you know bill smith hadn't went and preached the gospel it's pretty much an unbelievable story no yeah how everything happened i mean the only explanation is divine intervention and the story's always been an incredible story and luckily you and your brother have this gift of storytelling that is unbelievable um but the movie I was nervous. I was like, is this like, is this going to be good? Okay, so here's what I was thinking. Yeah.

You know, I'm always thinking best case scenario. Mm-hmm. So I know that Zach Dasher is the head hot show. Ed Hodgeow of this movie. So my expectations were not high at all. I was going into it thinking these actors are going to be terrible. Yeah. dashers running this thing.

It might be decent, you know. But I will say this, I was, I won't say shocked, but I was very surprised at the quality of this film. And I come out of there, I stayed emotional throughout the whole movie. I know. You know, because I know what happened. And I've lived through a lot of this post. I didn't know Phil B.C.

Yeah. But I started hanging out with them shortly thereafter. And to see all that and how all that went down was very emotional. And the acting was great. Hearing the stories come to life on a screen. Oh, yeah, man. It was great. So I can't recommend it enough.

And I don't like going to movies. I ain't been to a movie in eight years. because most of them not worth watching. Yeah. Yeah. Really. And I probably went in with the same attitude as Stone, like, because you see some Christian movies, and let's just be honest.

A little cheesy, bad acting, all this, that, and the other. And so I was like, you know, I was like, I hope it's good. And then I also thought, like, am I going to be blinded by the fact, like, this is people I know. Like Bill Smith was one of my papal's best friends, and I was best friends with his grandson growing up. So I'm like, am I going to be emotional just because I know these people? And then I got in there.

I was like, no, this is a real movie that is really good. No, yeah. This isn't, this isn't amateur hour by any. This was legit. Well, like Sean was talking about you, you got to understand. Zach Dasher is, was my sister's son. Okay. He has no training.

He is not a producer and all this, okay. So when he's putting all this together, like he said, somebody that's not made for this, okay? But the most impressive thing to me was, okay, is that you may have friends that you've talked to them and they just ignore you. You know, you know they're going down the wrong road and you're trying to stop them

and they just ignore you. And then finally, you just give up, okay? Now, I'm never going to reach him. He's lost. Well, that's the way I was with my brother. That's the way our whole family was, except for one person, my younger sister. Jan saying something or felt something or knew something,

you know, that if the right person could talk to Phil, and Bill Smith was the only person I think, that's why God chose him to do it. It's worth watching, folks, okay, because, you know, I gave up on my brother, which I shouldn't have. he's family yeah so don't ever give up on you on your friends that you're trying to you know

stop their downward spiral you know don't ever give up how prophetic was jan you know she told told bill she said if you can if you can bring him to the lord he'll bring thousands to the lord turns out now that well she's sold him a little short yeah it's pretty amazing that's the amazing part of the story. Oh, it's incredible. It was an amazing movie. So September 28th, right? I'm looking to my left and made their head nod.

September 28th. Go to theblindmovie.com. Look, this is not me saying that this is, as someone who has seen this movie now, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, I don't care where it's at. It's worth driving hours to go see when it comes out. Go see it. Buy your tickets now. It's incredible.

Yeah. It was only missing one thing. It wasn't missing you. No, no, no, it was missing one thing. They should have had, the soundtrack should have been the guy that wrote the song, Haley, those Eagles, drummer. He wrote the song, Dirty Lundy. Okay. By Don Henley?

Yeah. That's what, because, hey, look, Phil's having his whole life, everything bad, he's done. So hey, he may just live in on the evening news, but airing out dirty laundry. He did. Phil's dirty laundry is out there, but the redemption of Jesus Christ is out there too. So go check it out. I got a couple other things to say about that movie after the break, particularly when it comes to America's favorite uncles.

So we're going to take a quick break. 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, 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 to them.

But with Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritels comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living,

you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

All right, so, Cy, now that we've seen the movie, I have a few questions for you because my wife cried literally the whole time. I got a question. if you put a slinky on an escalator Would it go on forever Depends on the speed of the escalator That's a good question Slinky on

Everyone loves the slinky Slinky on Lanky To go to the escalator stops Most escalators break down That's why I like stairs I know, just go to the airport Yep Anyway

So my wife's Whoever that lady was that played Miss K phenomenal job. I felt like I was looking at Ms. Kay the whole time. Oh, yeah. The fact that they got some dude that looked like 1972 Bill Smith, Bill Smith's gone on to be with the Lord. His wife was there, which was really cool to see. But that dude looked just like Bill Smith and that cracked me up. And acted kind of like him too. But the eight-year-old sigh, when, and spoiler alert, he looked up and

said, hey, no, Jack. Have you been this way since you were eight? When the possums did after you, that's what you do. Well, no, that guy would play a really good role. Okay, he really did. Okay, because like a bunch of people told me said, my favorite was you in the movie. And I said, well, he hit it, you know, because you got a, you know,

I've got, Mama and Daddy had seven kids. Okay, I have got four older brothers and two sisters. Yeah. And it's, you know, it was a trip growing up. Okay. Well, because every time your character showed up on the screen, because it's, it's a heavy movie.

Yeah. You don't want to love probably. I've always been to comic relief in life. Yeah. Okay. And I kind of was there too. Okay. You were, but even back then and those, like, like in the heavy times with Phil going

through all that, like there's a pretty serious scene with you. The thing that. that you know cracked me up i should have said emotionally got to me you know me going with phil on a lot of his uh raids or whatever you want to call him okay made k feel better but it didn't it didn't make any difference okay because he was he was out of control yeah but you did sometimes you were there well i just i was always talking to him okay But it just, it didn't do no good. It's like it's fallen on deaf ears.

You know? That's interesting. Tried for a clock. All of us. Yeah. So it was just, you know, it was a bad thing to go through. Okay. The movie was mild, okay, on some of the scenes where it showed them fighting.

Uh-huh. It was way worse. Okay. In real life. And that was one of the part, the worst part of it. Yeah. because that's why I think one scene said, I told, hey, you don't deserve this.

You need to go ahead and, you know, leave him and start your new life. Yeah. Because, you know, he was rough. You know, some of those scenes, of course, I've heard those stories over the years. But one of them that I enjoy was when Phil got all liquored up and it was racing the cars. Yeah. That is true.

Well, hey, look, half the time, he never wore shoes. Okay, because his feet are literally deformed. I'm serious. They are so bad. I'm serious. We've shown them on this. No, he didn't wear shoes, okay, even in the wintertime. When we were growing up, you know, we could step on glass.

You could throw a jar busted. We'd step on it. Our feet were so tough. him cut us. I'm serious. Believe it. They're right. They're the woods, squirrel hunting bear for it.

Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And snake-infested woods. Yeah. I'm serious. I've seen him so many times put his foot down.

Okay. And then all you would see would just like that paper for that. Oh, yeah. White spot. Ooh, boy. Cotton mouth. That's why they call him cotton mouth.

Because when they open their mouth, all you see is it's just like a piece of cotton. Big, you know. piece of cotton. But Phil told me that they had it figured out that they don't matter what kind of car they were driving. That car could not beat him up to 20 yards. Now, 30 yards?

30, it would catch him and pass him. Catch him and passing. But 20 yards. 20 yards. He beat, he wins every time. He said the only thing that he lost to was a motorcycle, a Harley. Yeah. He said, a Harley beat him.

That's insane. but that's the only time he lost. Yeah, a car couldn't outrun him. And you, excuse me, you saw this in person. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, yeah. That's funny. You got to understand.

Where do you think he got his extra money? His motto, okay, growing up, every time when you was hunting, fishing, whatever, who's a man? That said in the movie. You know, and I always said, hey, nope, leave me out. I'm a boy. I ain't, I ain't made it to manhood. No, I don't want none of it.

Are you there yet? I still ain't there. You're still a boy? I'm still a boy. Hey, because it's just crazy. Insane. It's just, the stuff he's lucky to be alive.

Okay, he's wrecked three or four pickups. Sunk two or three of them? Sunk two or three? Boats or trucks? Oh, trucked and boats. Okay. Well, Willie always tells, you know, when Willie was speaking,

which he's still speaking a lot, but when I was with him, he would always tell kind of that story about his dad and turning his life around. But like, when he gets into the stuff

at that bar, like raccoon fighting. Oh, no, no, no. It's insane. No, no. That's why I said, you're talking about totally out of control. Okay.

Once you've reached raccoon fighting and betting on it, that's out of control. You know, the one I always, you know, that had to work. Worst of it, okay. Al's childhood was cut short.

Yeah, because he had to grow. He's the oldest. He's taking care of everybody else. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So Al just, you know, he didn't have a, he's always been an old man. Al has, because he's had been taking care of business and the kids. Yeah.

He's told, he's shared some of that with me. You know, they used to live in those apartments at Darbone Lake, where the, um, you You know where I'm talking about right there at Jake's. 33 bridge. 33 bridge, how far? Half a mile? Quarter of a mile. Yeah.

Give or take. So, Kay would go to work and leave Al home with Jace. Of course, she had to. This was when Phil was done winning nuts, you know. Al says he remembers, Al wasn't, but eight years old. He was sage's age. No, no.

Jace was like two or three. He would grab Jace by the hand and they would, they'd want to go to the beach. On the other side of the bridge, they would walk across that 33 bridge. At 8 and 3. 8 and 3 and go play on the beach while Kay was at work. That's... No, you got to understand something about the Robertson family.

My mother, okay, when we was kids, me and Phil and Tommy and they were older. Okay, but me, Tommy and Phil, we're two years apart. So we're like stair steps. Well, everywhere they, Tommy went, Phil went, I went, yeah. So, Mama gets sick of us. She'd load us up in the Falcon car we had, drive 15 miles up, up river, drop us off to the levee and say, hey, I don't want to see you to dinner or supper time. So we'd walk across the levee, get on Red River, find us a log to push off, get on it,

come to a sandbar in the middle of the river, play on it, y'all. Yo, that was, what would he think about it, y'all? because Jay's talking about the other day about that time. Growing up, we did some crazy things. Yeah. Just, but to us, it was normal. Can you imagine Johnny Dee turning your kids loose on the Red River? No.

No. I can't even. I'll see it. I don't even want to see it. It's a dark. Yeah. We would never see my kids again. They're not as recess.

No, no. We're running and chasing each other on the sandbar in the middle of Red River. Okay. It's got young woollet trees on it, just yellow. like pushes. Yeah. About head high. So we're running and just, you know,

Tommy's in head, Fields behind him, I'm running it. And all of a sudden it's just, Tommy stops, and it's one of these deals. Wham! Wham!

Wham! He'll feel running into the back. And he's throwing his hand up and said, Cobra! Y'all, what he had run into was one of big old hog-nakes, hog-n-old snakes.

When they get excited, they blow their head out and they look just like a cobra. They're black. Yeah. That's fair. So we step back. You know, Thomas said, no, wrong.

I made the wrong, just, you know, the defecation here. He said, now that we backed off, see, he's settled down. He said, it's, I've seen his picture in the, you know, dictionary. He's not, it's not a cobra, but he can flare his head like a cobra. You know, so we go back home and we look it up now of Encyclopedia, you know. You know, hall thanks. Did y'all kill the snake? No, oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we killed. Nate. Nate got to go. Well, before we take a break, one more time, and I'm not even trying to give this movie a plug as much as I'm trying to give Jesus a plug here, because I truly believe this, seeing this movie

is going to turn some people's life around. It's going to save some people's marriages who are on the rocks, and they see hope in the story of Kay and Phil, but the hope is in Jesus Christ. Don't give up. So I want as many people to see this as possible. So it's the blindmovie.com. Right there, if you go to that, you can click get tickets, type in your zip code, find one close to you.

It was cleaned up and mowed. Who did it? And that piece of wood that was left over where they put it up to Porta Conrad. Yeah, that was gone. Yeah. It would look nice. Thank you, sir. Well, hey, my pleasure.

So I called me, say, hey, my yard man. Yeah. He quit. He quit. He quit. He'd gone. And my grass is about knee high. Well, that's all this rain.

It was about waist high, what I got there. I had to bow that grass. Four times. It was bad. It was bad. It was. Well, you can't, it's hard to mow right now. Hey.

Oh, it's tough. You can't mow when it's, you know, you got water in you. There's water everywhere, and it was 115 degrees. Oh, yeah, it was hot. It was hot. But I got lucky to see a friend of my wife's, they could bring their kids to the sportsman's camp at Camp Chioca. Well, she brought her husband this time, old Michael,

old will and he's he's the irrigation man so he was pretty handy on the business end of a weed eater yeah i met him yeah and he was like yeah stone told me to come by say hey i was like oh cool man he said yes hang out with stone ended up mowing size yard i said that oh yeah welcome you're in now johnny day i used i don't have i own a fancy zero turn lawnmower so i use willie's equipment yeah good call and i i told all i call Willie, I'm like, hey, Saia's yard man, is M-I-A.

I need to go mow his yard and, you know, you care if I use your equipment to do it? He said, yeah, that's fine. He said, tell side the first one is free. Willie will be in the yard business for too long. That's it. Oh, yeah. He's got enough lawnmowers.

The first one's free. The second one's going to cost you. When was the last time you mowed grass? Hey, do you talk about a rip-off? Okay. The yard business has gone insane. I used to mow five acres with a pushmore. Yeah.

For $5 and think I would done good. A dollar an acre. Yeah. A dollar an acre. Nowadays, oh, no. It's $400 for a yard my size. Just, dang it, $500. I'll do it.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't think it's $500. I'll do it for three. It's a thriving business. It depends on what all, nowadays you pay by the month, like anything else. Yeah. You got your flower beds, you are and everything else.

It's too hot to the moment. It's hot outside. We got a cool front right now, so it's only like 94. I know. I had to give myself a haircut whenever it was like, don't go outside or you'll die, keep your pets inside. Like the TV was telling you. and you heat advisory.

I was like, it's time. Yeah, in the summertime, as a kid, we used to get a Mohawk. About all, inch and a half. You cut everything else off, right down the middle. What did you just leave that for? Yeah. Just whack it all.

I went high and tight. I'm going to bawled anyway. I almost told her to shave the whole thing. I'm to that point now. I'm fixing to shave my head. I ain't got squat. Hold on. You might as well.

Yeah, you might as well. I laughed because I thought you had been shaving it. I was like, yeah. I did shave it one time when we was in Wisconsin at the Ducks Unlimited thing, the Great Outdoors. We used to go up there and that's what that guy, did you ever go up there? The Great Outdoor. That guy would say, welcome to the Great Outdoor. He'd be on the Intercom.

But anyway. W.E. Bet me. He said, I bet you. I'll give you $20 if you'll shave your head. That's what he said. $20. I said, $20 now. He said, okay, I'll let you shoot first when you come to Arkansas.

I said, I'll shave. Right, right. That's right. So what would have paid for us to get you back in a Mohawk? Back in the mohawk. It wouldn't be a very good mohawk. That's what I can say. I don't think it's physically possible.

Yeah, that ain't possible. That's about all I go. It's just right on the top of them. But hey, if you make it the right price, you got the donut. If you make it the right price, I would save it. Then you can see all the scars I've got on my head. From what?

I'm from childhood. You have scars on your head? Oh, yeah. What, do your head bud? Hey, look, look. We would get the biggest needle we could find, get a big kitchen match, take a razor blade and fit it forward.

Hey, my brother had one there one time. me it was it was crusty yeah the sun had baked it hard on the outside except for the inside when you flipped it over when you flipped it over it was soft oh yeah oh and how they he was coming around the tree and my brother's just spack yeah we would not it was hard enough you well hey there was a fist fight going on i would have told on oh yeah no there was a fist fight going on black eyes loose

Oh, this is gross. All right. They made you see things. Oh. Yeah. Bangs. I can't even remember what they call now, but anyway, it's a sticker plant, but they grow. A cactus.

Oh, I can't remember the name of it. But they got a real good, uh, it's a little. It's like an almond in the flower, you know. You can eat them. But it's, they rub. Where are they grow? Cactus. It is like a cactus.

Where are they going to? I don't know what you're talking about. It was a big black like an armor inside, inside. Bullnettles. Yeah, that's what it was. Bullnettles. Bullnettles. You eat the seed out of the bone.

Yeah. I doubt it. But it's sticky. You know, you'd be pulling. I don't believe. Blender's out of your stupid thones and fingers. I ain't doing it. But it was good eating.

Speaking of good eating, we need to take a quick break and talk about one of my favorite holidays when we come back. Because it just happened. We can do that. This 4th of July, I got lucky and scored some Wagyu brisket. Oh, I did too. Wagyu is from the same place. From the same place, the people had a show me.

Is that the name of it? Show me. They donate Prime beef to the sportsman's camp, Camp Chiyoka every year. Okay. And there were some left over. I like that.

No boy gave me a call. He left a pile of meat here. We need to. It needs to be gone. You know, we need to cook it, can't freeze it. So I scored me a Waggoo Bresket. And then I took a bottle of this W. and used it as a binder on that brisket.

And let me tell you something. I cooked that thing 24 hours. It was like a, it was like a big block of jello. What did you cook it on? With a dark bark on the outside of it. When you picked it up, it was just, I mean, I could literally cut that thing with a butter knife. It was incredible. I mean, there's a difference between Wagyu and choice.

Well, I got one question. Or select, what? Why didn't I? get a call. Well, you was in Colorado. What did you cook it on? What tent? I smoked it on, I like to cook mine about 210 for 24 hours.

24 hours. I like to get that in. How good was it? It was. It sounds wonderful. It was incredible. It was probably the richest, best piece of beef I've ever had. It don't last long.

Now, I like a good dino rib, a good beef ribs. They're rich, rich, rich, rich. But this right, this waggo biscuit, it was something about it. That, you know, it was, you couldn't eat too much of it. So rich. It was. Meat candy is what it is. But I use that W as a binder.

That's the first time I ever done that. And it had a good parkout outside. Man, that helped. So, oh, it was probably the best, it was the best one I've ever done. That sounds good. Was it close to your tenderloin beef timber well that's totally different but you know that tenderloins is you know that's hard to beat it is I can make what you do on the fourth?

I went to Creed Colorado. Oh you were in you were there on the fourth? Yeah yeah it was like two days ago. I know I don't know I thought that was this weekend for me Philip and Matt Owens went up there and preached to share the gospel with the good people of Colorado. That's good deal. It was a good deal. a good event.

What'd you do? That's a beautiful country. I went fishing. What'd you catch? Was there boats everywhere? No, you gotta leave about 11. You got to go. When them skiers start coming,

that's when you go put it on the trailer, Darbo. What did you catch? I called a bunch of them. Oh. Miss Paula go with you? White Putt. She did not.

Oh. There you go. She don't like going in the morning. She don't like it. But deer hunting, she'll get up. up for you to go deer hunting. Wishing not.

She likes the long line. Long line, it is fine. It's fun. It's late. You just sit in the chair. You got a shade over the top of you. Now I'm fixing to get one, though. I'm going to get one of them tops that come up.

Mm-hmm. You got to have it. You got to have it. You got to have it in July and August. Yeah. Too hot. You got to have that. But you've gone by 11.

Yeah. You got to catch them and go. Fourth of July is a tough day to fish. Remember that time we warm out on cany? Fourth of July, it was hot. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, beggings, too. Begings, I mean slabs.

Ooh, I think I might go there in the morning. I like that right there. Just every one of them. The reason I remember it because I caught 17 in a row. Yeah. Right beside Silas Merritt. Yeah, that's the day you stepped it on my rear end. Yeah.

I just, they wouldn't hit my bait. He's having a flashback. Oh, no, and a bad one. I'm having a nightmare. I laughed at that. It was, he's right. He caught 17 fish before SIG even got a bite. And look, what made me mad was, his line is like this.

Mine would be under his line, and it would be, boom. And I'd keep reading. Yours was on top of my house. Well, hey, I never did. Yeah. Too fast. So I full, we were in my boat, and I saw the top on the screen. I said it had about 50 big crop.

on it. So the way we did it back then, I'd put the nose of the boat into the wind. Since we're using a little bit light jigs, we... With the wind. The wind helped you make the long cast. And the further you're away from the crappie, the better they bite. Yep. So I'd get right at the end of casting distance. So they'd one little one 30-second jig and set that one that fancy. What's them troll-motors called? The main code is that the spot lock on.

Yeah, spot lock. It was all tears in. It was a whole tide of old tracks. It stays, no matter what the wind's doing. It just heads you there. Yeah. But you got to put the nose. So we had a bayboat, we'd fish out of the back.

With the back, sigh and Galvin were like standing right beside each other. And I said, I threw a buoy out. I said, y'all cast at that booze. It was insane. Give it about an eight count and slow roll it. Slow roll it. That was the key. Seven.

Slow. 17 to one. Yes in a row. Then you did catch war out. I did catch water. his sad. Well, made me mad, like Stone said. They was about like that.

He's all beggins. I mean, good ones. Yeah. We, every time he'd do it, he just, he's like he's sticking me with a knife. And look, God was catch fish on every, every cast. I said, all right, they ain't biting us. Let's get out of here. That's what?

I said, wait a minute. Let me real listen to him. He's waiting. Let me get this with him. I said, you're sorry, Russell? I think I'll go there tomorrow. He said. It was hot that day.

It was on. Oh, that was that silver, that silver. It was the trout magnet. A trout magnet. Yeah, the mealy. Pepper and salt. Salt and pepper, yeah, that's right. I remember the day me and you went, we'd fish like five deep brush tops.

We had five in the cooler. Yeah, one fish on each top. Yeah, one fish on each top. That's what I had, you. Well, it ain't working on the deep water. He said, I got a couple in the cellar water. Let's go try. So we run up there, he threw out two buoys.

It's about two foot square. And he said, you got to hit in between that square, y'all. If you don't, nope. I do like 80s selling a cast. Just soon. That was the ever cast home? Hey, one, two, pooh. You still do that.

I had to come to the fool in your own stars. He said, how many more? I said, just one more. I said it about 15 times. You know, finally, I threw again. and just I was ridden a good one in and Stone said I had enough it. All out here is you don't want in the pocket

and I had click, you'll cut the line. Look the pole from me and said I got to clean these stupid you ain't fishing no more. That's the reason Stone wanted to go. You were catching and he was going on. I was taking them off the hook and over the ice chest. Every now of then he'd get caught up in the top and I had to retire his jig.

I never made a cast. 87. And then you never got any help cleaning? I had one bag of ice in that 65-quart Yetty, and I was jumping up and down on top of that lid trying to shut it. In the hot summertime. You know, people live just fish for crappie in the spring. Won't even fish in the summer.

This was spring when we done it. When y'all done that? Oh, yeah. We's in the back of the creek right now. The best one was I always lay down when he's searching. So I'm laying down. That's the fun. He'd be talking to himself.

Well, okay, that's pretty good. That looks pretty good. He got a few on it. Then he said, whoa. When he's saying, whoa, he's throwing a buoy out. Yeah. And he comes around, he throws two buoys out where you have you marked the throat. So he's, golly, look at this.

Well, he didn't got my attention now, so I jump up and look. It was a huge top, you know. And I wish it had been at night because it would look like a giant Christmas tree. I bet you there was a thousand. There was a lot. Ain't no telling. I'm serious. I bet you it was 1,000 on his tree top, but when we got to catching them,

they were all just about that big. Yeah. Hansi, every one of them. They still want to catch you. Well, they fun to catch, but I like it when he says, uh-oh, it ain't many. It's about 15. He said, but they are, you know, these are bulls. They keep growing.

He started his forearms. Oh, no. Yeah, oh, go. To his elbow. Now they're mid-biceps. Oh, no. You throw out there. Oh, they're all records now.

You'll catch one, maybe. Yeah. You know, but if you catch one in big ones, hey, they get locked, y'all then. Because you look at them and there, you can see them there. Well, it was 15. We caught one. Now there's 14. They caught one.

We sit, fool, around that, talking to say, there ain't nobody. Hey, we can need them to go move on. It ain't nobody. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun. That's fun.

A hummingbird. Oh, yeah. You got to have that side image. Side image. I'm not saying some of them, the fish, you know, the smaller ones will be all in the top or right on top of the top. Yep. And you'll look and the biggins will be off to the side. But nobody fishes off to the side.

Yeah, there'll be a little off out. The trees over here, like you said. Yeah. They'll be just sitting over. Well, hopefully you all had a great Fourth of July if you're living. and then hopefully you got around the pool, got on the water somewhere, went fishing, ate some barbecue, ate hamburgers, hot dogs, whatever it was you did. Oh, yeah.

Did you pop any fireworks, sir? Oh, yeah, they had a big fireworks. Somebody in our neighborhood stone had the loudest firework known to me. Oh, well, and it wasn't Willie. Yeah. I thought it was Willie. Nope. It was just, it would go off like every 20 minutes.

It would, boom, shake the whole neighborhood. Yeah. But hopefully you had fun celebrating July 4th, 1776. It's a reason to be thankful. We come in from Colorado on the 4th that night, and then about like 10 o'clock, and everywhere on one row, I bet you that was cool.

It sounds pretty cool. It was pretty good. Because we celebrated it at Jason's long time. We didn't. We forgot to talk about that. Yeah. We'll talk about that right after this. We'll take a break, talk about that, getting emails.

Break. This is like the catch-up episode, because we all hadn't seen each other in a minute. But Jason, Missy and Jeff and Jessica hosted, you were there. Yeah, yeah. Faith, Family Freedom. Yep. That was wonderful. Okay.

First of all, it was, you know, when we're going down there, Philip drove me. Yeah. And I'm looking. There's cars. Jason's got a levy right by the river on that. And there's cars both ways as far as you can see. Wow. I said, good grief.

I don't even know if we're going to be able to get in, Philip. He said, no, I've already worked it out with John. Jason and Miss it. You had special part. Yeah, we're good. Yeah, I had the first part.

Well, look, they, Jason gave a wonderful freedom-based gospel presentation. Okay,

and then we had fireworks, you know, but they baptized 40 people. Wow. Down there, and then like

at the church that morning. I know. Bill baptized 19. Oh, well. Well, that was pretty,

pretty good lick for the Almighty. That's like, Yeah. 21, total. 21 that morning? Yeah. And 40 at this, so 61?

Oh, yeah, 61 people. That's amazing. That's awesome. It was a good day. That's cool. Yeah, I saw some pictures. I met some people from that, just that were in town, running to them. And I got to give a shout out to this guy.

He might be your biggest fan in the world. I don't know if his name's Asher. Asher. He's from Lake Charles. That dude has watched every episode of Duck Down. I don't know how many times, but he had that sucker memorized. He's eight years old and he was asking all sorts of questions. And I was like, this is the funnest kid in America.

I was like, just keep asking me questions. Then he'd be disappointed when I didn't remember. I was like, well, you remember tell me. He would just quote them things. So there was a lot of cool people in town for that. That was awesome. So he's got a photographic memory, one of those. He's got card counter type.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. He remembers. He said I memorized Duck Dynasty. I was like, that's cool. And then he started asking me why I wore flip-flops. And if Godwin really ate that many donuts, I was like, yeah. Well, you know, the Robertson bloodline has that quality in some of them.

You know, Jason's got that car to read her mentality. And I asked my 8-year-old the other day who won the Royal Rumble in 1989. She said, Big John Stud. She got on a kick where she watched every Royal Rumble wrestling. Good, Gary. from 1988 you know who won the very first Royal Rumble? Your boy, Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Hatsawl Jim Dunkin, boy.

Yeah, he was on an episode of Duckdye. He was on there. So she knows every winter of the Royal Rumble from 1988 to right now. I was like I had the privilege of hunting and pheasps. We hunted pheasant with the Undertaker. Oh, yeah. He was cool. Oh, he was cool.

Yeah, Mark's. Yeah, one of the most pleasant, humble, nice humans I've ever met. Curious-looking man you'll ever run up. He's like barely. No, no, except scarier. He's really a nice guy. And a born-again Christian, I might add. Yeah, awesome.

Yeah. Yeah, that's fantastic. He's a cool dude. Oh, yeah. Sage got on that wrestling kick. She wouldn't get off of it. So they came to the Civic Center last week, I think. Did you go?

My buddy, Joseph, I trained judici with, him and his. wife and another friend of mine, his wife, took sage because I had to cook for Willie, took sage to the wrestling, and she made a big sign for Rhonda Rousey, her hero. Her hero. Oh, yeah. That's fantastic. Yeah, she looked at me when she got back. She said, Daddy, I'm going to be the baddest woman on a planet one day.

I said, is that right? Hey, I believe that. I believe that you didn't advise me to eat something over there. I come in and sit down in the reclider. And Sage comes in and just gets in my face and said, August I, you want to wrestle? I said, no. Get out of here.

Y'all don't want she hurt me. Leave. Oh, boy. So if she says she's going to be the badest woman, yeah, I agree. I'll say, yep. She'll tie you in or not? No. I believe.

I'm not missing. I watched her trial. Hey, she made a 17-year-old. Husky boyfriend of Carly. He was fixing the pies out. He put the choke code on him and I'm serious. He dropped his phone and was going and got him. Let that boy go!

She choked him out. He was just far from, I'm gone. Wow. I'm going to send my two boys down there just to get beat up sometimes. They need it. Well, she'll do it. there's no better therapy it's therapy

board oh that's funny I remember when Stone first started that and he was going he said well I'm fishing to go get my butt whooped I gotta get my mind right yeah

it's time for therapy yeah oh that's funny oh well we got time for like an email or two we're gonna keep it light this has been a good fun episode

going through all fun stuff that's been happening. But Ellie from Murphysboro, Tennessee emails in. Woo. Rocket top. Yeah. But she's troubled by something. Uh-oh.

See if we can help her. I think we need to help America with this one. Everybody, apparently in Murphysboro, feels the need that they have to just back into a parking space. From Walmart, church, everybody just waiting, sitting around, large vehicles, just Everybody's got back in. And she needs to know our opinion. Should you back into a parking space or should you just pull in?

So what's the issue with this? Everybody's, no, have you ever got behind that person that feels they've got to back in? They take like three tries. And had to wait five extra seconds? Yes. Boy. Well, but here's my opinion on this. Just park in the first place you see and pull in and then you're done.

What's wrong with a balcony? You get out quicker. I don't know. I think what they have here is they got escape issues. Okay, they feel closed in. They got to go. I'm serious. I think they got a problem with, okay.

They're like the world closing in on them so they've always got a back in where they can make a quick getaway. Yeah, I'm back in the place. But if there's somebody behind me, I pull in, you know, eating joint or something. I don't, I just pull in. I don't back in. I kind of have.

If there ain't nobody behind me, I'm serious. I think because I've got it too. What? Because like when I go somewhere, I don't want to be, you know, I don't want anybody to close me in where I can't leave. That's because you'll leave without saying goodbye. We'll never know what happened to you. And that's why I'll go over here and park outside or back in

because I don't want to be waiting there for 30 minutes for somebody to got me blocked in. So it is an escape issue. Now, here's a problem. America. has a problem when it comes to getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. This is true. They lose all patience.

So don't get in a hurry. Just let the man back in. It's five to ten seconds. Just relax. Oh, wait. That's a good point. Okay, because I have an issue about, okay, my patience is not the best it could be. Okay.

I see, so I guess I've never really ran into this because, like, you'll never probably ever catch me with a good parking spot. Like, I'm not looking. First spot that's open, I see, I'm like, that was fine. And you have to walk, because I timed it one time, because I watched somebody driving around and around to find a good parking spot. And I just parked, like, in the back of Walmart. I'm like, whatever, I'll just park here and walk in. I was already inside before they, I was like, all it was was 30. Well, they don't want to walk.

40 yards of steps. Get your step. steps in and you'll be patient. Yeah. That's as simple as that. Just do the opposite part as far away as you can. There you go. I always hate to think, okay, look, hey, be courteous.

Be nice to everybody. Be courteous. Yeah, be courteous. Yeah, I think in this situation, just, you know, try to take a deep breath. Yeah, slow down. No in your mind. Oh, okay. I ain't that.

It ain't going to make a difference. There are plenty of impatient, idiotic drivers out there. and if you can get to the point where you can laugh every time that happens when somebody pulls out in front of you happens to me every time I go somewhere somebody pulls out in front of me somebody slams on their brake somebody's looking at their phone at a stoplight it's maddening but expect it because it's gonna happen laugh it off and move on I laugh at the people that are driving around looking for the perfect parking spot and I'm on a mission to park further away from them and be out before they find a parking spot Positive attitude with a lot of courtesy.

There it is. There you go. I'm going to send us out of here with a Bible verse. Happy 4th of July to all those living in America. I did get an email from like South Africa the other day, which was cool. But we celebrate in America July 4th. It's all about freedom in this country. But there is a greater freedom that can be found.

And we talked about it when we talked about Phil's movie. And that is in Jesus Christ. So Galatian 5-1, it is for freedom that Christ has set us free. stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. If you're wondering how to live the most free life you can, I don't care what country you're from. I don't care if you're American, English, Australian, South African, or anybody else in the world, the greatest thing you can be a part of is Jesus Christ and that is the only place true freedom will ever come from. Amen. We'll catch y'all next time right here in a duck call room. We're out.
