Duck Call Room - Uncle Si Is Stunned That Justin Martin Nearly Keeled Over to Help a Friend

Episode Date: December 14, 2023

Uncle Si is disappointed by the unflattering piece CNN filmed in West Monroe and equally surprised by the fact that there’s apparently a market for NASCAR belly button rings. John-David is apparently an Ebay guru, and Martin performs a supremely difficult service as a favor to Godwin. Jay Stone discovers that there’s such a thing as adult legos, and Si has one spectacular move to get out of shopping for every occasion possible. - Learn more about your ad choices.

We're starting with emails this podcast, gang. That's fine. Are we? Let's start it. Matthew. Okay, so I don't, I didn't know what happened. Well, first of all, hey, welcome back. Yeah, be kind.

Welcome our folks back. Good gracious. Come on, man. If you're going to host, host. I wasn't hosting. Beth just told me to start. Bet's in charge. I was just listening to her.

Anyways, we're starting with the email. Yeah. Because it's so very interesting. Good. I did not know that we made it on TV. But Steve from Weathersfield, Connecticut, emails in. Now, this is a problem. Somebody from Connecticut saw us on TV this Not Duck Dynasty.

I'm not sure where this is going. It's worried about. But here we go. But he said, I saw on the national news that the parade and the story behind it, the Redneck Christmas parade just happened, Martin. Yeah. It was on. Yeah, I'm aware.

Yeah. By the way, that's like you can see it from this office, basically. Yeah. When it happened. They turn around. I'm about 34 South all the time. Yeah. Well, and...

Is this the Balkanville? Yeah, the Balkan. You were the mayor of it. Yeah. What was it called? He was the Grand Marshal one year. The Grand Marshal of the Red Neck. The Grand Puba, boys.

The Grand Puba. But I'm a little confused. He said all the stories I see on TV when I watch Duck Dynasty, a normal looking town, but never realized how bad things were and how sad West Monroe is. Wait a minute. What are you talking about? We got a Redneck Christmas brand. You're not sad?

Somebody is bad-mouthed on Christmas parade? I don't think they're bad-mouthed on the parade. I think they're potentially bad-mouthed in its location. I don't really get it. It was CNN did the pay. Oh, I'm sure they put a real positive spin on it. That's what they're known for. Yeah.

I'm sure they told the story about if you pay to be in that parade, your money actually goes to a toy drive for kids that are less fortunate. I'm sure they told all that part. of it. I did go watch it because I was so confused because they throw out like tulip paper and ramen noodle. It's hilarious. They throw outside teacups. They've bought stuff from us before. Yeah. It's duck calls. Yeah, they've bought duck calls. They've bought teacups. They've bought Willie Bandanas. I mean, you name it. Like, so yeah, we're redneck. Willie's not redneck. Well, he's not, but there's nothing, I mean, arguably there's nothing more redneck than

American flag. You can fold and wear around your head. That is true. Like, I mean. But yeah, the Redneck Christmas parade is just a, it's a staple around here. It's hilarious. We literally plan. I think Jimmy Red was the Grand Marshal one time. No.

I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure like three years in a row, it went like Si, Mountain Man, Jimmy Redd. Yeah. I mean, now they definitely went down the talent list of Duck Dynasty. Yes. He was on half an episode. Well, hey. Does that might?

Can you think of a better representative for the people of Balghamville than Jimmy Redd? No, no. Especially when you mentioned, Redneck. I rest my case. Mr. McGins was Redneck. Yes. Blake Burnett. Jimmy Red is the Redneck.

Yeah. But Blake, Jackie's stepson was a grand marshal about three years in a row just because he had like his own pair of Daisy Dukes that he would ride the tractor on. That's fantastic. It's just a, I don't know what CNN's trying to put. fool here, but redneck can be fun. It's not that it can be, it is. It is fun. And that's what the Christmas is.

For the most part, that's what we thrive on. I am, they're everywhere. Yeah. Different stages of it, but they're all over. You know where the most redneck people I've ever run across were? Do you know where? Canada. One hundred percent.

As Beth drops her head. She knows it's true. Why? The people on that side of the, you know how the weirder, the more northwest you get in America, the weirder you get here in America. In Canada, it's the more redneck you get. The further northwest you go. Yeah, well, redneck implies some form of isolation. Yeah, Saskatchewan.

Yeah. Yeah. They're a different breed. Yeah. When you've got fewer people to talk to, you generally get more redneck. Like there's generally not like a big redneck community. Like they're generally all scattered out kind of across the farm ground and the heartland, and then they all come together.

Yeah, they come to a rendezvous point. But they know they can't live together. That's right. But they all put their stuff just. Yeah, that's out. Out in the front yard. Yeah. And then that stuff starts disappearing.

And then one of them gets labeled a thief and the whole thing falls apart. So that's why they moved out there by themselves. I can't get over the fact that Jimmy Redd was the Grand Marshal. Yeah. I mean, why wouldn't he be? That's true. The same with Mountain Man. I mean, you know.

It's a fun type, but Steve, don't feel bad for us. No. It's like a joke that we play into, and everybody, I'm pretty sure loves it and they raise money for some kids. I think it's lasted longer than like the city Christmas parades, because you know why this was more fun. That's the point of parades, right? Does Red have it on his Facebook profile, Brad Marshall? There's one way to find out, sir. Did he really?

I bet he need to be. Yeah. I don't know who was the Grand Marshal this year. I think he drove like the Phil and K Enterprise's truck in it too. You can enter. Anybody can enter. Yeah. So I could go do it if he wanted to. Hey, long as you got something on wheels that will roll, you're welcome. I can't find Jimmy Redd on Facebook because it took me to this moment. I don't know his last name. I just thought it was Red.

Gibson. Gibson. There it is. Gibson. Gibson. I was like, why am I thinking his last name is right? Also known as in-law of Stone. That's right. Now, he married him.

He's my mother-in-law's nephew. There you go. Any other things making sense now? It's just a weird. That's a weird time to be alive. My wife is half Robertson, half Gibson. Scary. Which means full-blown.

That means... That's scary. She could be the next grand marshal. Oh, yeah. That's... You better say one eye opens. That's scary. Oh, that's funny.

I love it. Anyway, if you see it on CNN and you think West Monroe's just awful place, it's not. Well, anytime you get that many Trump flags in one place, there's going to be a CNN case. Oh, yeah. Because I guarantee you there was a few of them. Oh, yeah.

Like, and I don't know if it said 2016, 2020, 2020, 24. I'm not sure if it might have said 2028 just in case. Well, it all comes clear why they bad mouthed. Yeah. That's probably true. You get that many, you know, Trump flags in one place. It's going to raise on their radar. All right, I got one more email to do.

Go ahead. And I think we need to do this one because Cody needs more redneck in his life. All right. Oh, everybody does. Exactly. Cody's from North Carolina recently got engaged to the love of his life. Ready? Set?

Boom. There's the picture. North Caculeac. Congratulations, my man. That's it. Anyways, he needs to be more redneck because his question is he needs advice on how to get through the wedding planning process.

Oh, that's easy. Hey, yeah. You just don't show up for that. Thank you. That's right. You don't even get involved in that. There's two words you need to know, Cody. Yes, dear.

Okay. So he's been told that he's supposed to say, yes, ma'am, a whole bunch. They've been engaged a little over a month now. and it's very clear to me at this point that anything I would like for the wedding is not happening. It's not your wedding, Big Talk. Duh. Stay away.

Congrats. You don't have to do anything. No, you're just a figure. You just show up. Like, you legitimately could be, you could hire somebody to be you for this, Cody. Yeah. Like, this isn't your day. No.

Like, come to grips with that. You know, people got, the celebrities got stunned men that do all the dangerous stuff. Yeah. Hey, you're non-existence in this. Yeah. You're nothing more.

than the people that sit in the empty chairs at award shows. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Until you're needed. Hey, until you're needed, don't even worry about it.

The best thing you can do is ask what time. Yeah. Where have I got to be? And date. What time? Yeah. Do I need to be somewhere? Yeah.

And what am I supposed to wear? And write that down. What did you pick me out to where? What did you pick me out to where? Yeah. You don't get any say. And that's okay. And, hey,

guess what? It's like that for the rest of it, too. Man, it's not that big of a deal. It really is pretty freeing once you embrace it. It does. It's a great life. I mean, I'm just saying.

There are a lot of things you've had to consider before this in your life that you'll never have to consider again because it's already planned for you. Been planned. Yeah. She's made the decision. Yes, that's fine. Like, family pictures. She picks what you wear. Done.

I mean, it's like, we're going to this. She picks what you wear. It is fantastic. Embrace it. Celebrate it. Brittany literally puts Martin's clothes out on his bed every. morning. Absolutely she does. We're getting ready to go on a trip and she's got my little stuff. She's like, here, I want you to wear this, this, because it all goes with hers. I'm like, absolutely.

No problem. That does kind of sound awesome. That's what I'm saying. I mean, the only thing I get to choose in that deal is my underwear. It's a wonderful life. And I love it. No. I'm right. Embrace it. Yeah, because she knows me like during the winter. I wear the same thing about three or four days in a row because I ain't sweating and I ain't really doing a whole lot. You were wearing that yesterday. I was from the bottom down. Yeah, absolutely. I'm 100% wearing. the same underwear I wore yesterday. Now, I'm not that. I do not.

No. No. No. No, those get changed daily. Tommy Johns. You got to swap them tummy John's. Yeah. And if they don't get changed daily, they at least get turned inside out.

So it's cool. Amen. Yeah. But anyway, let's take a break. We'll be back right after this. 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 Tri-Tales 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 from,

but with Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill.

Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah.

Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Sae, are you doing Christmas shopping yet? No. I don't do Christmas shopping. Oh, you just give her a blank check like you did when you forgot her birthday? You got to check an account. I do what you want to do?

Are you going to forget Christmas? You forgot her birthday? No, that's all I'm asking. I never forget Christmas. Okay. But you'll forget a birthday. But the presents and all that, no. That ain't what Christmas was.

When was the last time you bought someone a present? It's been too long ago. Was the last gift you got bought? That was a gag gift. The gag was actually on Lisa now. And all of us when you were over-acquired. Hey, look, my wife loves it. He went with the over-application.

No, no, I'm serious. because I do. Was that like the last thing you unwrapped as a gift? Probably. Yeah. That's wild, man. Yeah.

We should get him something. What do you want? Is there anything like you're garning for? I don't need nothing. Well, I'm not giving you poker money. It's not about what you need. It's about what you want. Yeah.

Well, hey, then, he said it. I'm not giving you poker money. Give me a hondo for a poker game. No. No. Because I know the people you play with that get it. Thoroughly good time. with that.

Whether, look, whether I lose it or win it. Okay. Okay, because my poker game ain't about the money. Clearly. No, I'm serious. And Christmas ain't about the gifts. And Christmas ain't about the gifts. What's real in your life?

Hey, well, no, no, what Christmas is, hey, it is about a gift, but the gift came from God. Amen, buddy. Okay. That's what Christmas is. It's the birth of Jesus. Stone, what's you getting a man? She ain't listening to this. I'm getting their rice cooker.

A rice cooker. There you go. I do have a rice cooker. I do too. I use it way more than I ever thought I would. A woman has been cooking lately. Has she? Oh, yeah.

Okay. I'm going to encourage more of that. Yeah. I'll just think, say, she makes some mean desserts. Oh, yeah? Okay. His woman does. Oh, I'm aware.

He makes a good pumpkin. About once a month, I show up looking in the refrigerator in there and there's peanut butter pie and I just sit there and lop it off every day for a week. Trade that for a favorite. that for a pumpkin bread. Pumpkin bread. Yeah, throw the, what did you say? Peanut butter pie?

Peanut butter pie out. Let the dogs have it. And hey, send me a pumpkin. Let the pumpkin press. So aggressive. You can't just eat something you enjoy. You have to throw it away for the... Yeah, and get something he won't.

For the dogs to eat it. And get something he wants. Oh, no, you need to get the real deal. You know how you can stomach pumpkin, surround it with a bunch of other things that ain't it? And then bake it in a loaf. Say, man, that's good pumpkin bread. They make a cake out of it, yeah.

You know what you love about peanut butter? You can just eat it. That's true. I've never seen somebody run into their pantry. Put some jelly with it and then put it on two pieces of bread and I'll take care. What? Peanut butter. A peanut butter jelly.

What if he did like a mayhole jelly on top of that peanut butter pie? Oh. Oh my goodness. Well, you were just... I might eat it then. Hey, I might eat it then. Hey, she's your wife. I'm not making any critique or suggestions to it because they don't.

just keep showing up. If you feel led to do so, knock yourself out. Oh, that wouldn't make it. But really and truly, if it was like a layer of peanut butter, a layer of jelly, then another layer of peanut butter top it off. I'm just saying that probably wouldn't suck. Ooh, that sounds pretty good. Make that like a three, three layer of cake.

Mm-hmm. And in between it, put the may haul jelly. There you go. Or a may haul, slow, and, you know, and musky down. And then top it with butter finger, if we're just going to put it. Oh, no, then top it with butter. Top it with butter. melted butter all.

Helted butter. Yeah, that way we can all have one of them things. Oh, yeah. And everybody has a heart attack. Yeah. God, it's so rich. Man, a lie. We always end up to food.

Hey, I'm telling you. And I'll go south. We end up the food. Whatever he just created, it's like our next sponsor is going to be a Zimpick or something. I mean, good. Oh, you got to admit. That would be good. What's that?

The peanut butter jelly pie. Yeah, the whole. I don't know that would be good. EBJ. Yeah. I think it would be. I just think you'd have to go to the. freezer with it.

Yeah. And it'd come more like an ice cream pie, you know. I think that's where it, I think that's where you'd have to do that. Oh, don't, don't add that to it. Yeah, make four layers. Make it four layers. Now, now you're cooking like Willie. Yeah.

Now you're getting on what Willie does. Willie made desserts. We're now there. Yeah. Just, I like that. Why not? Yeah. Pour that in there too.

The best part about Willie's cooking is remind me of the Army. He starts out with the, little little bit of pot and then when you get through he's got a 30 gallon container on the stove okay yeah he needs a boat paddle to sworn it with but it is good oh now that we've gotten distracted you're getting Allison anything I don't I'm yeah I need to make that decision vacuum cleaner uh oh I tried that once it kind of fell on its place oh Allison loves a good vacuum cleaner yeah that Watson's out of hers very into cleanliness

but no because you know we just got done with her birthday and now I got to figure out when we're kicking her for our anniversary which is like in a week and then Christmas happens a week after I got three weeks of just all of it but then you're done

right till Mother's day covered boy that's right I'm yeah I hit it all at once and then so is it better your opinion to have them all at once or is it you know like a month at a time kind of a deal

because if something comes in late, you just push it to the next one. She had a birthday present, didn't get here in time, it's an anniversary present now. There you go. That's good. She just gets the whole month of December and spends all the money.

Not a great trade, but I mean, at least she feels like she wins, one out of 11. Oh, she wins for sure. There you go. Married to me. Oh, wow. Here we are. That was a bold statement. It's a bold strategy, I'll stand behind it Well, you had to

That's how you got her That's why you get the checkbook And you'll say, hey, have fun We're not there I mean, I can do that with a checkbook I just got a limited amount of ink and a pen That's the Yeah, hey

Now then that's when you get into trouble Allison's the tight wad in our family though Is she? Oh yeah I'm way more likely to make us go broke Than she ever would Like I'll buy stupid stuff Just on a whim like

Oh that looks like fun What are you looking at? Your shoes. I'll just see which ones you were wearing today. You have quite the footwear collection. I have a small one. Yeah, as you're saying this, I know where this is coming from. And he used to work next to me, and I saw a lot of the frivolous spending that you're talking about.

If you need a pizza oven, you need a pizza oven. And you order it, and if it works, it works. Hey, this fetish is shoes. I like shoes. He does like shoes. And he likes to resell game consoles. Oh, man. I wish so bad.

there was something coming out this Christmas because some rich kids would pay for mine because their parents couldn't get it and they'd be on eBay buying it from me. There's not one of those this year though. There's nothing? Nothing. Oh, man.

I love Christmas season because you can just take advantage of people. No, no, there's bound to be something this year because I've seen it on TV. What is it? For the news. The Lego junk. Oh, you can make money on Legos. I've never got into that. No, because if you ever get home.

with it you like the ones that you have so i start building it yeah the thieves are actually going berserk on legos yeah they're busting in the store stealing all the Lego things I'm serious and hey the guy's talking about two and three thousand dollars for this junk

you can sell some Lego yeah so it's some my uncle got into that for a while have those people never stepped on one have you ever put together like Darth Vader's head it's pretty fun it's like a puzzle but 3D are you bad-mouthing Legos Oh boy, here comes on her. I'm not bad-mouthing them.

I'm asking. They never stepped on. Why would you steal them? Because Legos are expensive. Yeah, they really are. They're so expensive. It's a big deal. Do they have like an off-bram one?

Mega blocks. Why do you know so much, Hunter? Because I played with a lot of Legos and stuff. Hunter's the kind of kid. You can get rich on eBay. Oh, no, no. When I was a kid, that's what my parents did. They bought the off-brand Legos, which were mega-blocks for me,

because they were infinitely cheaper. Are you still playing with Lego? Legos make for a great date. What are y'all doing? So says the man who's not married. He's like 12. You can get like one of those like flower things or like one of the adult Legos

and then build that for a date and that's like two hours. Adult Legos. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Great. Yeah. That's what they're stealing right now.

I'm not going to. I'm kind of on Hunter's side here. I've built one of the flower Legos with my wife. It's like a puzzle. Really? Yeah. Have you ever done a puzzle? I love puzzles.

It's the same thing. Yeah. It's even get, they're going into the art form of this thing, okay? You can make all kind of stuff with this Lego stuff. Then, and if you buy the right one, you can sell it on eBay and triple your money. Oh, yeah? Yeah, it's a big item right now. I know all about eBay.

Huh. I ever tell you about the time my mom was selling Dale Earnhardt Jr., belly button rings on eBay? No, but we've got another segment and I'd love to know more. So let's take it back. Dale Hart, what? No, time out. Oh, hey. I'm just wondering if Hunter's bought one with as much as he's laughing.

No, I've heard of it. 100%. Hunter, is your belly button pierced? Wait till you hear this story. You're laughing way too much like he used to have this. No, he's got a ring in his belly button? I never expected all of those words together. Dale Hart Jr. belly button rings on eBay?

Yes. That paid for my whole family to go on a carnival cruise. Don't ever say I'm not redneck. Which part? The belly button ring or carnival? All of it. Both of them. Just a smooth transition. No, my mom, like in 2000, like when you had dial-up internet. So like 2000, 2001, 2002, she got super into eBay and she would go buy stuff from like these jewelry markets. I love Janice. And the two best-selling thing she ever had, she could buy them for five bucks apiece, put them on eBay, and they would sell for $75. And they were, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon Belly Button rings 100%. And she made like $10,000 one year. Do you think Godwin bought Paula one? There's a chance. The year was 2001.

They do love him from Dale Jr. Was that 2001? So was he driving the 8 or the 8? 88 then. It was eight. I remember it. It was red and there was a black eight right in the middle of it. I'm going to find one.

Sponsored by Budweiser. Back when NASCAR was, I don't really know what's saying. Oh, my goodness. They're still on eBay. Is your mom still selling them? Is there a model? Oh, gosh.

Thank goodness that didn't say Honeyhole tackle shop beside it. That was them. Look, right now you get them for $29999. Janice Owen made a fortune doing this. and you get senior ones. I don't know if she had senior. That's junior and senior. Those are belly button rings.

Uh-huh. I'm trying to think of what else Janice sold on eBay. I just love the fact that there used to be a market for Dale Jr. Bellybone. Yeah. And apparently still is. You've been to Talladega, sir. Yeah, but I didn't look around.

I thought the, I thought. Mark was of the age when he made it to Talladega, eyes forward, head down. I thought the best thing, I thought the best thing I could do was keep my eyes in front of me or looking at my feet and get out of there before dark. That was the only two things I was certain of. You don't want to like gaze and you want to be out of here before it turns dark. And that's that's all off the suggestions of Boyer who said don't go down Talladega Boulevard at night if you're not ready. I'm not ever going to.

Yeah. And I said, you know what? I'm not nor will I ever be. Amen. I'm proud of you, sir. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, those are the people my mom used to make money off of. Honeyhole tackle shop selling.

Well, I don't know what her name was back then. It could have been something else. She had a mighty eBay presence. She still does. That's fantastic. I've shipped, hey, there's some people in this world that have PlayStation's that they bought from the Honeyhole on eBay. Yeah, well, I knew that it was your market.

And now I guess now I see it's genetic. I mean, apparently. It's a family affair, boys. If everybody wants something, we're going to try and buy it first. And all of them. And all of them. And then you can come buy it from us for a, you know. At a markup.

A nominal fee. Yeah. For a nominal fee. It's the retail world, baby. America. You know? Still the dream, boy. I mean, I'm just saying America.

Like, that's just what it is. You know. Belly button rings. True story. That is a 100% true story. What made her think like, yep. We got to have Jan on here because now, now I need to know. That's a wild episode.

That's what I'm talking about. Now I need to know what. what flipped when she saw those belly button rings said yep that's it that's the one who knows how many of them did she sell do you know she made like 10,000 dollars a bunch off a belly button ring yeah I'm not when I say she paid for our legit our whole family went on a cruise because she sold belly button rings on eBay that's just the true story Dale Jr and and Jeff Gordon probably senior too I remember the NASCAR belly button rings That makes me happy.

Legitimately. Only in America. eBay and the dial-up days was wild. That's all I remember. She had this big old camera. She'd take pictures of stuff and she would ship it out. Good for her. It's weird times.

Hey, folks, listen, if you've ever dabbled in anything like this, shoot us an email. Tell us your eBay stories. I don't ask for this often for people. but like I can see where this one hits home with our fans. Potentially. And I want to know if there's any other crazy things that y'all've ever bought a ton of and sold on eBay.

I'm just, I'm curious. Even better, if you bought a NASCAR belly button ring. Do not send us a selfie. No. Or the belly button ring itself. Those are yours now, no returns, no exchanges. Yeah. Now that you know she was buying them for five and sell.

them for 70. There wasn't enough internet back then. Like you couldn't price check things on your phone. And you couldn't track people. No. Like, it ain't like it is today. Yeah, that wouldn't fly today. Oh, man, a lot.

It was beautiful. Yeah, I'm interested in know how many other, like, weird trinkets, I guess you could say, that people have done that with on the interwebs. Oh, there's everything. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, I just want to know personal stories. This is kind of cool. You can buy anything on eBay.

I mean, she sold a bunch of things. of Dug Dynasty stuff. At one point. Yeah. Yeah, she sold a bunch of our stuff. I mean, she was a great dealer of ours. She was selling side cups on eBay for a minute there. I know.

That's what I'm saying. Like, she was. That paid for Christmas one year. That's what I mean, I knew that story. Jan has got some side hustles in her. I know. And I guess the more I think about it, the more the Dale Jr. thing makes sense. But, you know, she does sell crickets.

Six cents at a time, baby. And worms. And every once while we're saying. a pair of Jordans just depends on how bad you want them. We ain't a get selling nothing in my family. That's all drugs is where we draw the line. Anything else? Crickets, worms,

PlayStation's, belly button rings, Jordans. Supply and demand. It's just a basic economic. Just short of Rucker. Anything just short of what Rucker was doing with his grandma, you've been doing with your mom slinging goods and services. Amen.

Okay. That's fair. There you go. I'm trying to think of some other weird stuff. We've sold some weird stuff. Did you ever get Rucker on here? Oh, yeah. He told me that day, he said, I'm going to get out there and do Jiu-Jitsu

we all. Rucker? Yeah. Please, please. Okay, looks like we're going to move this set to the Jiu-Jitsu gym for a day. Camera man. Because that needs to go on ESPN, the Ocho. Hold on.

Who better watch out. Hey, stoned him. For Rucker? Yeah. Why? He'll have a razor blade. Oh, no, because if he gets in there, he's going to be good at it. good at it

what about Rucker screams athlete to you I'm just telling you hey anything that man gets involved in he's good at it no the only thing Rutgers don't know that's like saying uh oh Rutgers joining the track team

and he's going to triple jump he's going to be good at it yeah if he does hey I don't know about jumping because he ain't got a lot of weight to jump with but anything like wrestling I'm telling you you better watch out that ain't wrestling

That's Jit-Soo. Hey, what do you call it? Let me tell you what Rucker tries different things to see if he can turn a profit at it. Like, this is a business decision. That's why I said if he gets involved with it, you better look out. No, I'm not talking about him personally. He may make this a part of one of his recovery programs. Or like people with anger management.

Send them over to Stone. That's where he should come out. And then he'll hit Stone on the backside for a cut of their membership. That's what Rucker's doing. This is R&D. This isn't because he wants to do Jitza. Hey, what did I say? Better look out.

Yeah, well. Well, I think I'm fully confident that Stone's going to win. I don't think Stone even has to look out. Oh, there's no winning. There's no losing. No, it's not about winning. Okay, well, the one time you showed me things and I was on the ground, I felt like I lost. Well, you didn't lose.

You learned something that day. Yeah. Not to mess with you. Don't ever do that again. You know. You learn you're a loser. That's sometimes learning what you can't do is just a valuable. Hey, they're losers and winners.

Somebody's got to lose. Somebody's got to win. That's true. That's life. You know, now I think about it, I think you're right. He's looking for an angle. There you go. Oh, no.

He's going to say, I got this house full of 12 guys that have anger issues. I'm going to get them to join your gym for doing that. I want a $5 per person cut per month off of their membership. If not, I'll take my business somewhere else. That's what Rutgers do it. That's why I said you better look out. God bless America. See?

The American Dream, baby. Selling belly button rings and dreams, boys. There you go. See, it's really no difference. And he looked at me and he said, you know, people don't know this. But I'm a second degree black belt and Taekwondo. Rucker? That's what he told me.

And I said, that I will believe. I mean, you'll believe. anything at this point. Well, yeah. You believe in Black Panthers. Hold on. This doesn't. Well, I know this. I believe in Rucker. I do, too. I don't know about. And he also believes in Coach Prime. Yeah.

Well, hey, look, he shook the whole world up in college football. For a couple weeks. And still has got him and have still got him shook up. So look, hey, don't make your decisions lightly. Yeah, don't have. At a town. Well, hey, he built him a new lake at his place.

Well, I was just saying. Hey, I saw that. I'm just saying, hey, don't want you about too early. With some fine F1 tiger bass, I'd imagine. Yeah. Yeah, Coach Prime loved to fish. I bet. But let's take a break. We'll be back right after this.

Have they lost every game since Sive was made, made that prediction to go undefeated? They have literally lost every single game. But they ended up, what, four and eight or five and seven or seven or five and seven or five. No, and half his team left. Well, hey, look. The holdover. I'll say, nah, we go to transfer.

I'm a beat for the underdog all the time, boys. They're the underdog, all right. Hmm. Hmm. Well, in that case, I did you think Florida State should have made it in? Yeah, they should have made it in. Uh-oh. I'm still hot about that.

Are you? Yeah. 12 and 1 got to play and 1 when 13 and 0 got kicked out. Yeah. I hate that. What's wrong with this system? I tell you what's wrong with. Some of the people that are making decisions don't know what they're doing.

Ah. Put down in your pipe and smoke it. How did I know this would be so rich? I'm with him. I'm on his side. I'm serious. Hey, you go undefeated and then some clown that goes 12 and 1 gets to play. Texas should be out too.

Well, that's fixed to say it. Liberty should be in. Texas. Let's have a little justice here. Texas made the playoff. Uh-huh. They have 12 and 1. They got beat by Oklahoma.

Wait a minute. And then you got a team? And Florida State went undefeated. And they're out. Yeah, on the city end, they got kicked out, got the boot. Because they're quarterback. Who did Texas beat Alabama? Alabama.

They beat Alabama. And Alabama's in because they beat Georgia. Alabama's in because they beat Georgia. Martin, do you think they got it? Martin thinks they got it right. I here's, no, and I quoted, somebody called me that night. And I said, they asked me like, what do you think? And I said, well, I think that Alabama is better than Florida State currently.

as far as best teams in the nation, I said, but Florida State earned the right to be there was my opinion on it. Right. Yeah. So whether or not Alabama is or isn't better, to me, doesn't matter because they earned the right to be there. And then if you look at it, I know this ain't college football podcast. It can be.

But if Alabama's quarterback goes down with three games left and they win the SEC with their defense, do you leave Alabama at home? Nope. Nope. So how can you say that leaving Florida State at home is the right thing? What about this? If Texas played Georgia tomorrow, what would happen? Georgia destroyed.

Georgia would beat them by 30. Yeah, Georgia would be. Pain and simple. Oh, Martin does not know. Texas is good. I know you don't watch much football anymore, but they're-oh, I don't watch any of it. They're good. Well, no, no.

They're good. They're better than they've been. in a long, long time. This is not going to happen, but if Travis, Florida's quarterback, starting quarterback. Yeah, Jordan Travis. Yeah.

If he was there, okay, I would love to see him, the Florida State, Seminole's play Alabama. And I'd put my money on Florida. Oh, there's people that got upset with it right now. Uncle Si doesn't believe in you, Todd. Well, Jordan Travis is the reason Florida State's not in it. Because he got his leg broke.

Well, no, no. Yeah. I mean, that's the reason he's not in. And there would be no argument if he were still played. That's why Florida State should have been in. They lost their main quarterback, the backup, and then they got a third stringer that took them to it undefeated. Look, I'm of the opinion on this whole thing.

I think that they got the four best teams playing football right now, but I also think Florida State deserve the right to be there. What about Liberty? They did liberty. to be there? You're right. Liberty. They're undefeated. They earned the right to be there.

Yeah, no. Liberty, get out of here. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Get out of here. Go go do whatever you do. They'll be in it next year.

There's 12 teams. Who else was undefeated? Michigan and Washington. Yeah. And Liberty. And Liberty. If Washington played Georgia tomorrow, Georgia would win by at least 30.

I don't know. Washington, Texas. I put them all in the same category. I don't know. I don't know. And I had watched college football in six years. Yeah, some things never change, except Texas is playing good football.

And I'm not a horns fan. Look, y'all know me. If you worked around here, I love making fun of those Longhorn fans, and I want a lot of money from them because two of them used to work here. It was a good time. I got a hundred bucks of football season.

Yeah, like, it was the easiest. Thanks, Garrett, Taylor. It was the easiest hondo you could ever make every year. It was easy. Yeah, easy. So easy. But they should have put Florida Stadium. and everybody agrees.

Their third string quarterback's better than every quarterback on the Saints. And they're professionals that get paid lots of money. Is he better than Taysam? No, Taysam Hill is not a quarterback. Oh, he's a football player. Yeah, there you go. Taysam Hill's the best football player on the planet. And I'll go down swinging if anybody challenges that.

I was wondering, I ain't got to talk to side about that. I figured that was his... He was yelling about it before an episode of the other time. I figured that was his opinion. Well, no, no. Here's the thing. Anytime you're a football team. Okay, and I know that the schedule, who they play is very important and how it's all rated.

Yeah. Okay. But, hey, anytime you can go 13 in O in a season with the talent that is in the game today, you've done something. You've earned the right to be there. Yeah. Okay. That's why I said. They earned to be there.

I don't think they're one of the four best teams, but they deserve the right to play because of what they did. Yeah. That's. Yeah. Well, that's all I was saying, because, hey, the other one's okay. You got about three in there, three or four. There's 12 and 1. And it's the same deal, though.

If you did it with any, if you swap them with any SEC team that that happened to, would you leave them out? No. The answer is no. I mean, you don't leave Alabama out. You don't leave Georgia out. You wouldn't even leave LSU out or Tennessee or none of those people. So that's where the rub comes on what happened.

Like, that's the biggest deal to me. But again, we're not a football podcast, but there you go. The bowl game starts this weekend. So there you go. They didn't ask us to be on the committee. It all comes clear. I would love Versailles to be the president of that committee. I don't trust anything that is ran by a committee.

My favorite part is somebody said it's full of a bunch of committee people that have never even played the game of football. Well, here's the thing. True. Yeah. Here's the thing. It's actually ran by a bunch of investment people that are like, how do we make the most? Yeah, there you go. And they said Alabama roll-tied.

That's the bottom line. Yeah, how do we turn maximum profit? Yeah, how do we get the, how do we get to? And how does that happen? This tournament, turnip is minor out of blood, but hey, let's get that last three times. You know what? They could probably use my mom on that committee. There you can go.

That's who it is. Next thing, she'll be selling belly button rings with a big A on them. She could sell a million. No, that market's probably saturated. Roll time. Yee. Gobbin wasn't going that water and get that deer.

Oh, we want to talk about that? That sounds like a pretty good story. Yeah, that's a good story. I think he needs to be here. I'd hate to trash him without him here. Oh, we've done it before. He wouldn't get in the water? No.

Cold water? Gobba? No, he has a boat? Have you listened to this podcast? He's got a phobia about that. and water. Oh, well, that's a nice deer. Yeah.

That's a good one. Johnny G. Yeah. He wouldn't even... I took a picture with him. Well, that deer belongs to you more than it does him. Yeah, you went and got it. So the guy was used to deer, and it runs out in the lake.

Yeah. And he refused to go retrieve his own deer. He didn't refuse. His option was, let's do something that's going to take another hour onto the night to get the deer. Go back to the camp, get the boat, put it. in the lake, get the deer. I said, well, he ain't about 70 yards out there. And he's just looking at me.

What, you had to swim out to get him? I didn't swim. I waited. Oh, it wasn't deep enough far in the sink? No, it was wild, though. I got video of me doing it. Here you go. You can tell I was just short of throwing up

at this part, at this point. Was it cold? Did I get winded? Was it cold? Imagine that bottom was a little soft. It was about 14 inches. of water and I was up to my crotch. 14 inches of water.

Yeah. About 6'4. Yeah. About 30 inches of mud. Mud and mud. I just sent you the video. You can play it on the deal. I don't think I cussed during that part of it, but I wanted to.

I probably didn't have enough breath to. I mean, I was so winded retrieving that deer. It was a wildest thing ever, though. I mean, it was like, we blood trailed him, and then he got on the bank. of the lake. Oh, you drugged that sucker? I guess you was winded. You think? Yeah. That's a good friend right there. That is a good buck though. Yeah, he's a good one. He got to take a break, boys. Yeah. And where's got, has got one filming? He's right there cheering cheering me on. No, that's W.E. And W.E. Zoomed in. W.D. didn't even get within 20 feet of

the water because he's afraid he'd get caught up and having to do something. Yeah. He's got a big fear of that. Yeah. Yeah. He's allergic. to work. Yeah. Hey, if he had to shot him high shoulder, you wouldn't have to done that. Where did he see him? Yeah, not there.

Guts out. A little. You see it here in a minute. Butt shot? Yeah. No, not in the butt. About second rib. Hmm.

Yeah. And you drug that sucker 70 yards through that? Yeah, I did. You're stronger than I thought you were. Yeah. I mean, I hated life after that for a little while. You're a nice guy. Huh?

You're a nice guy. Well, thank you. Yeah, I mean, you know, here's the deal. It was Godwin. That man, unquestionably, would do anything I asked him that didn't involve getting belly button deep. So it's cross deep on me, so belly button deep on goblin. In cold water.

He ain't doing that. He's not, I mean, that's a phobia, a fear, whatever. And I respect that. We all have irrational things that we're scared of or bothers us or whatever. Horses. So, yeah, cameraman. man, Jared said, well, I'll go get him. And I was like, buddy, we don't pay you enough to retrieve our deer.

So that's not, that's out. Yeah, that's out. I said, plus, who's going to document this process? Like, we, we, I'm not filming this. So I took off everything I had except for my base layers and there I went. Took off. Because it was just so weird. I looked out there that we got to the edge of the water.

And all of a sudden the blood just stopped. And I'm like, well, this don't make no sense. I mean, he's bleeding good. all the way. And so I just, I was just looking around and I finally just something made me pick my head up and I see his one side of his main beam sticking out of the water. And I said, no. That's an awkward. No. I was like, that can't be him. Yeah, that's him. And then I got to dissect and, well, it's not that deep if I can see his main beam and like part of his back. Right. And then I said, I bet this is just a little bit boggy.

And I took one step in it and I confirmed my suspicions. Yep, I was right. And I said, I went back to like high school hunting Darbon Bayou in the place called Boggy Bayou. That was the kind of mud that was in that place. Like, yeah, you earn it when you do those kinds of things. Oh, yeah. But yeah, the deer ran out in the water and died. I mean, he was dead and had been dead for a minute.

You know, we watched the footage and just say, yeah, let's give him a look. Let's give him some time. But, you know, it's fine. We got gobbling's deer. He's thanked me 120 times probably since I did it. And the only thing that cost him was a backstrap. Hey. That's not a terrible trade.

No, it's not terrible. It is, but man, that mud smell. I mean, I just had that slime, that film of that mucky mud. Oh, no. Got through my pants and into my shoes. And, you know, it was just misery. But, and meanwhile, W. He's over there just laughing the whole time.

Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Right after that video stops, I'm like, I'm almost to the bank, and I was like a half an inch from falling face first. I mean, I just, I lost everything trying to drag that deer. And I said, oh, no, no, no, no, not here. Right. I just, I just knew.

I don't want to fall down here. I knew my chin was about, I'm about to have covered 135 yards, and I'm going to fall the last five yards to the bank and get just drenched. But we made it. It was cold. Goblin was fired up. I think that's probably his biggest rifle buck ever. I don't know what, you know, we ain't put no tape on him or nothing,

but he's a great deer. Yeah, heck of a deer. Yeah. And I'm so glad I didn't shoot the deer. I almost shot that afternoon, too, because then that night would have just got longer and longer. That'd be worse. Yeah, I had like 140-inch nine point out there in front of me, but I should have popped it.

Nah, yeah, maybe, but I was mad. I was mad. I didn't get to shoot the two coyotes. They slick me. They, they got one of those cows. out there. Man, they were there and I was just getting settled and then they just started

running like chasing a rabbit or something and then I never could. They just were in the grass and they were mousing like jumping up and going down and doing all that and I was trying to time it where when they jump up like boom! But I just never could get the timing right, you know? That was the thing that upset me

the most was letting them two coyotes live. But it was fun. I love Arkansas. I do too. I love that place. A lot of game. It's a lot A lot of foul. A lot of foul. A lot of game. Northeast Arkansas will be specific.

Yeah, I didn't want to tell them too much about where to foul are. There was enough people up there duck hunting already. Good grief. Oh, I bet. For you folks that may or may not listen to them, I don't know, public hunters probably don't listen to us a whole lot. They ain't really care what we say. But to y'all's dedication of something like 22 boats in line at 10 p.m.

And that you can't launch you boat until 4 a.m. my guys you're madder at them than I am yeah yeah you are you are just oh I'm convinced serious duck hunters have a mental illness yeah but you have to be crazy yeah I sleep in your truck and I did it I did it for years yeah yeah yeah I'm I'm guilty of it I mean I think you could start like a recovery program for I think so like maybe have that on Thursday nights instead of Friday nights yeah the Friday they're going to be going somewhere ducking. Because mentally when you get out of that stage, you're broken for a while.

Yeah. You're broken. So you did the whole like, hey, we're going duck hunting tomorrow. We're going to leave tonight. In the night. Mm-hmm. And go sit at his wamp break here. At a ramp.

At a boat ramp. Yeah. Wait. In line. No, and I see, I never hunted a F. Wammastown. You never went wham breaking? I mean, I went one time, but we had a hole runner when I went.

You know, the young guy went out there at about 4 a.m. We showed up about 6. Yeah. He went and got the hole. Then we brought in the breakfast and the goods and the groceries and said thank you. But you did that on Darbone. I did it. The difference is we were too poor to have a duck boat.

So I did it in two-wheel drive, all on foot. Yeah. That's rough. Yeah. Totting decoys. You generally make like three trips. How far is that walk? Oh, which one?

What I'm thinking about at Russell Sayes. off the main road there to get to the back of that slew. Yeah. It felt like in waiters about four miles. Yeah, that's probably, yeah, it's a solid three. Yeah, that's solid three. Or if you go to the end of pump road and then take off from there. Yeah.

Yeah, I've walked. I've probably walked almost every square inch of Russell Sage, or the green tree at Russell Sage, now that it's expanded. I ain't messed with none of that other stuff. But I used to be mad at them. I recovered. Oh, hat's off, too, the public land hunters. Oh, no.

That's quite the game. game there it's a young man's game younger yeah once you get in your in your 30s you don't have that desire anymore or you kind of cured yourself of that illness yeah well you found other things that take you time up instead of oh that's right instead of sitting at a boat ramp all night yeah just waiting just waiting no yeah just sitting there just i did it i did it not long ago in Arkansas, probably three, probably it's been within three or four years, got there at 11, slept in the truck. I wanted to do it one last time. And then when I stepped out of that boat at 4.15 in the hole and stood there for two and a half hours to illegal shooting hours,

I was cured again. He said, that was it. One last time. Sometimes you just got to chase that dragon one more time. Yeah. And then you make it. You're like, yeah, yeah. No, I'm going to go back to my other mousetrap. I think it's all right. It's a sickness. Oh, it is. Oh, it is. It's an addiction.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a problem. And I couldn't wake up to get up and do it again. Yeah. Couldn't wait. Couldn't wait. You left there, went to work, made you a little meager paycheck, and then, all, boys, what time we meet at the boat ramp.

And then spend it all on shotgun shells and waiters. And little debby's at the gas station. And little Debbie. Yeah. Cheap sugar highs, because that's the only thing you was running off of. Yep. All the red bulls and stuff didn't exist. You used chugging Mountain Dew and eating Little Debbie's just trying to make it.

Mountain Dew and Honeybund. And Mountain Dew's gross. Like, it ain't even good. It's really not. No, it's not good. You put you a sprinkle of dickle in there, that ain't bad. I don't know what that means. That's the plastic bottle of whiskey.

Okay. They don't even serve that one in glass. Plastic on. That's so if you drop it, you know, you're fine. You're going to drop it. Yeah, you're going to drop it. Well, it closes out of here, Johnny D. Psalm 25, 4 and 5, show me your ways.

Oh, Lord, teach me your paths, guide me in your truth, and teach me for you are God, my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. As I go. Amen. Remember that this Christmas season, y'all. Thank you all so much. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
