And we're going to be doing it for the next. 30 years. Good work. 30 years. So I'll be 103 and just podcasting. We'll be at least three times a week. I may have to have a cane then. That'll be the limiting fact.

I may have it have a cane. Hey, I will say, though, on you, you're doing a lot better since January. A lot better. A lot better. Yes, I found that out after all the lies I've been telling you. Yeah. Well, I know what I'm saying is,

used to walk in here, you'd have to leave your oxygen hooked up. Now you carry it with you. That is getting better because I'm not using it as much. Yeah. You got more energy. More energy. He was doing jumping jacks before y'all got here. So if you're struggling with COVID or your family is, just know, look at Uncle

size as an example. It gets better. You can be. He made another one. The energy is back. It is back. He is not lacking in that department anymore. Hey, I'm like Fleetwood Mac.

The Mac is back. Jack. Si, you got any big plans coming up? What's life throwing at you? Well, the only thing I'm waiting on right now is for stones who call me and tell me when we're going fishing again. Boy, that's a rough life. That's my plan. Okay.

Wait for the phone ring and Stone said, hey, look, I check the weather. Everything's going to be fine. We're going to have a light breeze. Okay. You've got to have a light breeze to fish crop. Yeah. Well, it's kind of. That's when they bite better.

It's kind of cool because everything's starting to open back up in the country. So we're about to start. I mean, I'm not going to speak for everybody, but I'm about to start traveling a lot again. I'm going to, I'm going to Houston tonight to do a commercial. Then I got to go to Austin, Texas for a NASCAR race. Is that Houston where the tiger is loose? Uh-huh.

You better be careful. The tiger is still loose. Well, look, the next time we're in there. And the guy is denying he owns him. Well, that's the time we're in here, I'm going to have him sitting right here. I'm going to get the tiger. I'm going to put him as my carry on. So here's the deal.

The tiger. A single tiger. That would be awesome. About 800 pounds worth. Well, he's a nine-month-old. I've really researched the tiger and was telling him all about it. So he's just a kitty. He's just a kitty.

I don't know that you can call a bingled tiger even at nine months old a kitty. Oh, yeah. He's a kitty. He's a kid. He got a lot of play for him. He can steal. Big kitty. Okay.

But to our listeners in Houston, the tiger is on the loose still. But they got the guy. And the guy's kind of a sketchy character. I saw that. So the guy who had the tiger, he allegedly has murdered someone. And so he's out on bond. Well, they were like, now that you might have murdered someone and on a tiger, you've got to go back to jail.

Yeah, you've got problems here. And he somehow got away from the police with the tiger in the back of his van. Well, they worried about. So we don't know where the tiger. Not having no evidence. That's what they worried about. Because he could feed him to the tiger. Matt Lockover

I've heard that story The lawyer I heard that alleged story That's alleged So yeah The tiger He's still loose People of Houston

Look out Hey find me His last known whereabouts That way while I'm in Houston I can go look They just sounds like a lot of BF to me No it's true I'm serious

Yeah No CNN says it's true CNN said it So it has to be true Yeah I'll take that with a box of salt. Oh, the whole box, not just a grain.

Not just a grain, no, the whole box. But here's the other thing I found interesting. Owning a tiger in Houston is a misdemeanor, and it's a $500 fine. That's it. There's tigers everywhere in Houston. Houston's a weird place. I wonder if the guy's an LSU fan.

Is that why he had the tiger? Was it for game day? Was it? You'd have a lot of really cool parties. Well, hey, you've hit on a note there. He could be a fanatic LSU fan. And maybe he's bringing him back to Baton Rouge. Maybe that's where the tiger's coming.

Mike 9 or whatever number of Mike the tiger will. Why wouldn't you? Hey, if you can't, why not? Who's not playing up after him? I'm kind of with God on this one. Can you imagine what he leaves? I know this. Cat crap is probably the worst domesticated feces there is.

I mean, when I was landscaping yards in high school for my summer job, I'd rather get in a was nest than I had a pile of cat crap. That stuff stinks. How do you feed a tiger? A lot. A cow. That's a lot of hands. That's a lot of hands.

That's about the truth, though. A cow. You go to that butcher department, Stalin's talking about, and you get the stuff he don't buy, I guess. Oh, no, no, no. They don't feed these things now. It's filet mignon. And rib eye and the whole nine yards?

The tigers? Yes, sir. They get filet? Oh, no, no, no. They get the top-grade beef. You don't feed them trash. Really? I'm serious.

Which tigers are you talking about? Well, hey. Have you had tigers? People know. People that own tigers, they don't feed them junk. So the only people that have ever owned tigers, according to the internet, are pretty sketch. Do you know people that own tigers? Well, the two that used to be in Vegas, they had a tiger show, white tigers.

Sick free and roll. Maybe. I'm pretty sure one of them got taken out by a tiger. Well, he got bit bad, mauled. But he didn't get killed. People just get like a bass at hand. Or a tarly mignon. He wasn't full.

He may have been. Vegas tiger. You don't know. To the tiger he may have been. I would then ask a question. Have you ever had you? I thought he didn't feed him junk. Vegas tigers do eat nicer cuts of meat.

I'm assuming this Houston tiger. It was a large. Scrappy. A lot of hot dogs. Only the strong survive. I'll tell you. People that's got them do not feed them junk, I'm telling you. That's cool, though.

I feel like Simon is a tiger. He owns a miniature tiger named sweet pig. No, no. Hey. Oh, yeah. Hey. What do you feed sweetpeed? Just way too much.

Way too much. Anything he wants. Every time we go to the vet, he says, hey, you got to put him on. I said, look, that's the woman. Okay. It ain't my cat. Have we ever discussed how old Sweet Pea is? He's about five, I think.

That's just my... That's what you said five years ago. Well, hey, I'm just telling you, I think he's five. He may be 20. I feel like Sweet Pea was mentioned on Duck Dynasty more than five years ago. Oh, it was. It was. Yeah.

So, well, hey, maybe I'm awful little. Here's what I'll say. Those Robertsons have a disturbing trend of when your pet dies. You get another one that looks just like him and name him the same thing. So, I mean, we could be on. Sweet P is seven. It's hard giving them straight. Yeah. Yeah.

Have you had more than one sweet pea? No. Okay. No. You still had dogs, but then I lost so many. I got too heartbreaking on me, so I won't with cats. The wife got a cat. What kind of dogs did you have?

The, what is it? The waney dogs. He had dashhounds, Johnson, whatever you call him. That's the greatest pet there is. What about that poodle from Duck Dynasty, though? Now, hey, Killer. Killer was a trip. was I'm telling you yeah that was the best no hey that was the cool that I've got I've

signed that picture of that poster more than anything it's his in a cameraman did a fantastic job because he was a panning and it shows me show real beautiful scenery on the greenery of then it shows me and then he pauses and then the next he slides over how yeah here's that big if we look at Poodle. That was an amazing moment. Hey, that was a good hunt dog. Killer was a retriever.

Here's what I remember about that day of filming. That had to be one of the top five hottest days we ever filmed. It was hot. That one in the day that I jumped in the pond behind Jason's house. Yeah. Wearing waiters. Try wearing waiters in like August in Louisiana. And then they're talking.

I went, oh, you can't get wet. I said, wrong answer. You ain't been in these waiters for four hours. Yeah, I'm wet. I'm getting wet. I'm wet as it is. And I'm actually getting real wet and get cool.

That cost them about a thousand dollar mic. That'd be all right. They had it. But they made money. That poodle kills me every time. Oh, no. Killer was a trip now. That's awesome.

Killed a bunch of doves. Oh, that's a good dove. Retriever. Did your dachshunds not retrieve? Dotson are mean They're just a lovable animal No they ain't they mean I had one

I had one as a kid Look if you were a Martin You were fine Well no no no If you were anybody not a Martin You was as good as bit Well you gotta understand He's like no homie don't play that

A little dog is scared of big people Yeah Okay because hey I dated a girl that had a little chihuahua Mean Oh no that chihuahua Hated me with a passion.

And she said, y'all, y'all gonna make friends one night. So she sits me down on the couch, she sits down on the couch, she sits right, she's holding that little chihuahua. And she said, bring your hand over it. She grabbed my hand out. That dog, I can pull her, I said, he's going to buy me.

She said, no, he's not. Just hold it. She put my hand over here. He just, hey, I'm bleeding. He doesn't tore me up. I said, woman ought to beat you half the death. I hold him by and that,

and that stupid dog. You know, have our dinner. Oh, Lord. Well, look, let's take our first break. We'll be back right after this. I got to watch Cy getting a dog. 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, Cy Robertson, would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for our...

a cookout meant somebody had to run the grocery store do all the things grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day and you never really know where that beef comes from but with tritails beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way try tales 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 think that you're threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you

need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails Beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just

a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat eater, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com Slash. That's trybeef.com That's trybeef.com slash. support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Where we go, boys? Oh, Bobo.

I like talking about dogs. Yeah, Bovo eats you alive. Bobo's never bid anybody. He what? Oh, yeah, no. He what? Yes, he had, too. You let Jimmy Rig come in there.

You let any Gibson walk through that door. That's a good time. They're as good as big. No, that's a good time. What about Lisa? Phil used to make him hate me. Phil said, take something to cover your face and walk over here at me. So I'd take a hat off and cover half my face.

And then Phil say, watch him, Bobo, watch him, Bobo, watch him, Bobo. And he'd come off the top of that chair and try to eat me until I uncovered my face. When I uncovered my face, he's like, oh, that's you, we good. Was this Bobo 1, 2, or 7? This is just Bobo. This is the one of the Bobo.

This is the one where Kaybo, where Kay got snookered and the thing she was buying a rat terrier and she bought Bobo, whatever. he is. He's some kind of... He's a mixed breed. He is Heinz 57 for sure.

JJ and Jesse were rat terriers. Bobo, when he showed up on scene, he was like torched up. I was like, that ain't no rat terrier. I don't know who he's got in him. Yeah, because

so rat terrier He'll find a deer though. Hey, can outrun and catch a cat squaw on the ground. Oh, yeah. They'll beat him to the tree and like,

Jesse would kill him. Yeah. Jesse was a dog. Jesse was the only one that would kill him. Snakes. The rest of them would catch them. And they'd get bit and then they turn them loose. Yeah, Bobo's rough on a snake too.

Bobo hates a snake. And we'll just throw him around in the air until there's nothing left. Oh, yeah. He's going to kill him. Grabbing him start by grabbing by the tail. And just slamming him around all over until he's dead. Then he'll play with him for hours. Yeah.

Until he finally just falls apart. and nobody taught him man he just started doing it one then he eats he ate snakes though i'm serious he did that's a good thing yeah he's funny bobo is uh he's an odd dog he's old old jay was probably the calmest out of all of them but she'd still she'd show up about every six months all swole up or another snake done bitter she'd get too close to copperhead or cotton mouth she'd get in there and they'd just they'd pop her yeah she wasn't too bright no I only like had a big Whedemeyer, maybe. Yeah, she'd come back and she'd have like soccer balls on the neck.

Soccer balls. Oh, what? No, no. Look, I'm serious. It would look like a soccer ball on her neck. But a snake is bitter. But you're holding your hands like a softball. Well, hey, I'm telling you, it's a big round.

What kind of dog was it? Wheatabar or a woman rammer. Whichever. Say that 10 times real fast. No, I ain't. Dang. All right. A wire manger.

I can't say it. No, no, this happens every time I pronounce them two words. What is the correct pronunciation of them two words? Womareraner. A Womareraner. Hey, I've heard of Wadermar and the other one. So what kind of dog was your Wommer? I can't say it.

Wimar. I'm going to Wiedermire. I like that way better. You had a Weter Meyer? Yeah. Mama raised them. This is when you're a kid. Long tail or short tail?

Short tail. They don't have long tails. I snip them off when they're puppies. That one has long tail. No, that's a short tail, son. Now, that was a long tail. They didn't get him. He escaped.

I always felt bad. He escaped the snip. Why do they cut their tails off, Martin? It was just a breed. You don't know? I think it's just for looks. Them are German dogs, okay. Why do you get a haircut?

They was actually guard dogs. okay it's what they was you know bread for because I had a blue healer named Rocco when I was in the fourth them a good shoot dogs and I was sad when they his tail I was like a dog needs a tail no some of them

a lot of them working dogs don't have tails a lot of them is but I think a lot of it's for what they're the kind of country they're in the showmanship part I guess and help protect them a little bit and if they don't swim if any of them you don't

need it. He don't need a tail if he's not swimming necessarily because he just uses his tail as a rudder. Well, he's going to knock the flyers off of the cell for you. He's going to knock him out. No, this is a turn to take it, I guess. You take Brevecto for heartworms? No, I don't know. I see that commercial

all the time. Now that we've talked about dog, what's your favorite dog? Favorite breed? Wheeler Meyer? My favorite breed is obviously a Labrador retriever. How many dogs do you have? I've got one, I generally get one or two on loaner for duck season to make it through to make sure that

we don't cause any hip troubles and wear them out and all that. So, yeah, no, I'm a lab guy. Labdivores have a tough life. I'm a regulation lab guy. I like, but the British labs are cool too. My one that I use a lot, Jesse is a British lab. Yeah, I know Jesse. But she's got so much hair during the summertime. She's, she's tough to have in your house. It is and you can tell i'm not necessarily the cleanest person around but that amount of dog hair that comes off of her is just like you cringe you're just well some of them some of them some of us what i call bad shedders yeah brittany's got a brittany got us a door map because of it when you walk in our house it says warning dog hair everywhere that's a true state and it's true

state yeah if you get a if you get a lab if you're allergic to it you don't come here i love yellow labs, but they shed year-round. That's just what yellow labs do. They're constantly turning their coat over. So if you're going to get one and you want a little less shedding, go with the black, but I stay away from them brown ones as much as I can. Yellow labs, I think, because Phil had one and, in my humble opinion, they're the best hunters.

They're great hunters. To me, they got the best personality. Well, they hunt everything. Okay, most of them say, you know, retrieving ducks. No, no, no, no, no, no. The yellow lab Phil had, you know, if she walked up and leaned on the tree, stood up and leaned on the tree, shoot the cat squirrel up there in the tree. Because trust me, if she lands on that tree, that's cat squirrel up there.

Yeah. Yeah. Goblin's got a melting pot of dogs at his house. Problem is, he only owns one of them. Yeah. Oh, boy. It's all the dogs in the night. It's good. Mr. Paula feeds them all.

In other words, it's the neighborhood hangout for everybody else's dogs. We had two. We had a lab. We had a big, his name was Todd. Yeah. And, uh, Todd. He's a great dog. He was.

Great dog. And, uh, his running buddy was cow. Well, we still got cow. Todd and cow? Todd and cow. Cow's a rat too. Come on, Moo. We still got him.

I used to mess with Galvin when I'd pull up his house. I said, well, the thunder and herds here to greet me, like seven dogs. But I knew he only had two of them. Well, I owned two of them. Paula should feed them off. Look, old Bromley's dog, he had a golden retriever. He lived up the road. And we'd be sitting there in the morning.

We'd have the door open. You know, it'd be cool. We'd be sitting there drinking coffee. And then we'd slip the golden retriever. Slipping. Slipping. Real slipping. Slipping.

He don't come running out. No. Oh, he's slipping. He geese is over there, and Paula's got a bunch of dog toys in the corner and the basket. Oh, good good. And he'd slip over there that basket and get him a toy, he'd run out. And he'd steal all cow and Todd's dog toys that Paula get him. And Bromley, on the way to work, he'd go drive by, and he'd chunk him out the wonder in the yard as he went by.

A theft. But, oh, it was all, I told Paul, I said, you quit feeding them, and I quit hanging around. But she loves animals. Oh, yeah. I used to get. So what's your favorite, though? What's your favorite for you?

I like the lab. I like that black lab we have. That's a duck hunter in us. We had two homes. My dog ate hunting nothing. Except groceries. Especially in water. Well, let me tell you, a lab, though, is very, very protective of your house.

I mean, they'll make a guard dog. Yeah. They're very loyal. The only problem with them is, I mean, they're a great guard dog, but their bark is definitely much worse than their body. They just try to bark scare you away. Well, but nay, we had one before Todd, but nay. And her bark was just as bad as her bite.

She wanted them. Oh, she was one of them. Jude's fine, like the dog lives our house full time, until you open the door, she makes eye contact with you. And she's like, oh, wait, you pet me? Come here. I don't know who you are through that door. but you come through it we're good we good now she talked to top and we'll walk to walk too

there you go so we got another one we got another dog i don't know what kind he is he looks like he's kind of like a weenie dog and something else maybe a rat terer weenie dog mix but he don't bark he don't bark he don't bark we call him roger his name's roger it's cow's silent partner because he don't bark When my dog barks, the entire neighborhood hears it He got that hound in him That old basset A group of ears

I got a 12 He's not got big ears He's gonna make an old dog Oh my dog's ears Drag the ground As well as the rest of his body at this point He a lot like sigh He sleeps most of the time now

So, Sa, you're the weenie dog, man. Is that your favorite? Weenie dog. He likes wienie dogs, but he has kept.

Well, I get it. We lost too many. It was too rough. I get it. I thought I lost Dublin the other day. Raccoon got hold of him. You think it was a raccoon? It was a big bite.

He got bit by something, got infected. We ended up at the emergency valve. I got a raccoon story. Well, hey, save you, raccoon story. Let's take a break.

A raccoon would kill a big dog, young, or old. Yeah, he almost got it. Raccoons are bad dudes. Anyway, my wife and the lady across the streets from us, the lady across the street from us has about, uh, oh, 15 or 20 cats. Oh boy.

Okay. So my wife has got, she went to the grocery store and, you know, she's looking to feed sweet pea there one, one morning. and said, good grief. I just bought that 50-pound bag of cat food like two days ago, and it's empty. Yeah? And I said, you're buying 50 pounds of cat food? I said, don't want her. I said, I've seen you putting some bowls out on the porch.

What are you doing? She said, well, I'm feeding the cats for the next door, a couple cats for the next door. Yeah. So this went on for about two weeks. She said, yeah, I'm out of the cat's food. again. That's a hundred pounds this week. I said, hey, you got to quit feed the cats.

A hundred pound of cat's food, a weak, good grief, woman. That's a lot of drag. No, no, yeah. So look, we're in there and I'm watching TV and I hear something on the front porch. Oh, boy. So look, I click on, I click the light on. Okay. It ain't cats that's eating that cat's food.

There's three coons out there that weigh about, oh, between 65 and 75 pounds. Hey, these dudes look like, hey, no, no, look, these dudes look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. They won't. Okay, I'm talking about beast up. I said, Christine, you're not feeding cats. I said, yeah, there's three coons out here that would kill a, kill a grown bull from trying out loud. I said, and that's dangerous. Hey, that comes through the house that kill me and you.

Oh, good grief. See them beefed them up. Oh, beat the, beat the, I'm serious. I was shocked when I hit the light and looked down there. Hey. Well, you better go. These suckers, hey, they're three foot high. Good grief.

Okay. You better go get some more food. You don't want them mad at you for stopping. Hey, they're rocking the scales at about 75 to a hondo pounds. A raccoon? Raccoon. That's unbelievable. Beg it.

Oh, hey. I made a big. a big one. Oh no. I'm serious. That's the biggest raccoon. Them three is the biggest ones I've ever seen. And I've seen thousands of raccoon because I've trapped them, shot them, and everything else. But that begs

a question. I got a question for you. I hear people talk about it all the time. Do you eat raccoon or have you? I tasted it. You tasted it. No. No good. No. He's out. If everybody told me, I don't know if they know what they're doing now. You need to eat going zones.

Oh, no, no, no. These were big-time raccoon eaters. They, it was Barbecued. Okay. No. They grilled it and barbecued. No. A raccoon?

Yeah. They had to you a little bit and talk about, no. I was going to. So, me and a buddy of mine, he's got a deer place, and they were over rooomacons and eating all the corn, and just like size talking about you, get tired of paying all that money. Yeah. So we said, well, we're going to thin them rascals out. So instead of deer hunting, we's raccoon hunting.

that's always a fun night well no we did it in the daytime yeah we just turned the feeder on where it come on earlier and just sat there with a 22 and uh anyway I said well what are we going to do with these things now and he was like

and somebody said they're edible we shot them all sizes yeah they said they're edible did you have any 75 pounds no we didn't have we had a couple of 30 pounders I mean grown like I mean I'm saying that's the biggest killer I was saying that's the biggest killer I was

Yeah, they get big. I'm not denying that one fed cat food could get to 60 pounds. I'm suckers get big. But anyway. They're 50, 100 pounds a week. So we were... You're talking about 100 pounds of cat food, son. Hey, yeah, they're going to get big.

So thanks to modern technology, we looked up raccoon recipes. We're like, we're going to try them. Yeah, they're edible. I'm too squeamish for the... I'm sorry. I can't deal with me. So we went and cleaned them. No, you did.

Of course we did. While I was cleaning them, I got to look, and I said, man, that meat just don't look like something I'm going to like. Like, it's kind of like a purple color. It ain't really. No. It ain't. Yeah, it's, no. It ain't there.

It's not a red meat. Anytime you can look at something and say, I don't think I'm going to like this. Yeah. Anything with the nickname Trash Panda, I'm not interested in eating. Well, them things ain't getting to no trash way out there where we were. They was eating corn, so I was like, well, they were eating corn. So I was like, well, these are probably going to be as good as you can get. Corn thin.

Oh, no, no. Yeah. So did you cook them? You cooked them. Uh-uh. I couldn't do it. I'm proud of you. That fat on them, like, it would get on your knife blade while you was cleaning them.

And you couldn't cut nothing. Like your knife. And I'm using them have a lines as to replaceable blades or whatever. Oh, no, no. Yeah. And that's a surgical blade, essentially. And that fat would get coated on there where you couldn't cut nothing. Yeah.

Until you went in there with dolly and. on dish soap and washed it off. Oh yeah? Like it was, I said, you know, I went Clint Eastwood. The buzzards got to eat same as the worms on them thing. I mean, I just.

Leave them live. Now, we did make some, you know, we dried out some pelts and stuff from the ones that we're clean. We didn't make any hats, but we got the pelts on a board and we saved them and all that kind of stuff. Coons can't cap. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we made them.

Yeah. But, so they didn't go to full waste, but I just couldn't. I couldn't do it. Have you ever eaten possum? No. And let me tell you why, I ain't going to eat no possum. I was fishing Beth River one time.

Nope, nope. I fish in Beth River. There's a lot of cattle farmers on Beth River. I get downwind, and I'm like, he's a dead cow up here. There's only one thing that smell like a dead cow, and that's a dead cow. So I get up there by him, but I know that that dead cow, you can catch him fish. Dead cow, ho. Because there's maggots coming off of him.

Oh, yeah. which brings in bait, which brings in bass and cropy and everything else. It's a little, if you can stay in the smell of it, if you can get on the upwind side of him, you can make us work. But as I'm sitting there fishing at dead cow and catching them, I look. And out of an orifice, I'm not going to say which one, comes something grinning at me. Yeah, comes a possible. Hey, go.

Hey, go. And I said from that moment on, I said, he's safe from me. I ain't eating him. I ain't doing it. So I had an Uber driver once. I hope you're listening, sir. It was in Mobile, Alabama, and he was from West Virginia, and it was a two-hour Uber ride at midnight.

I flew in. I was going to meet my family at the beach. Did you have your socks on? Yeah, I wore them all week. I like you. And this dude starts going into stories about his childhood, eating possums. and he proceeded to tell me

what they would do with the rest of the possum is the equivalent of hoghead cheese where they would melt it down and make a loaf out of the possum and I looked at that Uber driver I said, you're lying

and he promises I have a picture of that Uber driver I don't think I have permission to he was a nice guy but I was like bro I got a lot of questions about possum hoghead cheese I'm not much on possum, either. I'm never tried it.

But West Virginia and Alabama, it makes sense. The craziest thing about that possum is I told people that story, and I think I told Phil or Jace or somebody. And they had the same experience of a possum coming out of a bloated-up cow. Yeah, apparently they like them. Speaking of dogs and possums, my dog killed a possum in the backyard one time, and I was about to pick it up, and I was like, but what if he's playing possum? That's that.

I'm going to get up. My best possum story is I had two. I had surgery a couple years ago. For those of you that work here, y'all know why I had. Oh, that's surgery. Yeah. If you're super curious,

you can Google the term hydrosil and go from there. I'm not going any further. But two days post-surgery, my wife comes running in the house, just screaming, squalling. Like, I'm like, okay, what? Like, I'm laying here recovering. from surgery.

She's like, you gotta get this thing out of my car. A possum about that big, got up in her glove box of her car somehow. She swore I put him there. I'm like, I just had surgery. I mean, now, is that funny? Yes. And is that something I could possibly do?

Yes. Most assuredly. Yeah. Did I do it? Absolutely not. So I go hobbling down the driveway, recovering from surgery. And there's his little old bitty grin and possum just sitting there looking at me. She said, well, yeah.

She said, what are you going to do with him? I said, I'm just going to grab him and take him out of your car. I mean, really, she said, what if he bites you? I said, well, he probably will, but that'll be all right. Ain't no big deal. You don't want a possum to bite you? Well, he's got the most teeth out of any North American mammal. That's a little small fact for you.

But I picked him up behind his neck like his mama would do, and he just hissed at me, and then I took him and said, get out of here. Two days later, he's back on the back porch again. He wasn't as fortunate. I've done relocated you once. Yeah, I gave you a change. Yeah, the second. time you got to go now you're just causing problems with me and my wife and that ain't good so all right

we're back we're back is it it's good news time right good news i like good news let's talk about some good good news good uh you're not martin god when i got good news for you bud what's that guess who's making a comeback he's making a comeback he's riding again in the ex he's riding he's riding he's riding and we'll give you what in the Xfinity series. Xfinity. He is in a NASCAR. Old juniors running it back.

Oh, yeah. He's back in the seat. Did you know that? I knew he's coming back for a race. I didn't know when. He's coming back on the 20th anniversary of September 11th. He is running it back in Richmond. Oh, and I'm excited.

Man, that is a Richmond raceway. is very nostalgic. That would be a great place for him to run. Well, he's doing it. And he's got a really cool America car. Yeah, of course. National Guard. America.

Are you a junior fan? Well, sure. Who's not a junior fan? Gobel's just a fan of going fast. Oh, I like the flying flea. He loves to go fast. He likes going fast. How was your name when you is riding the bike?

Flying flea, yeah. The flying feed boys. You picked up a few pounds since then, though. Yeah, just a few. Dug Commander 50. I'm at the Duck Commander 52. And then in other news, I got just, you know, what we find on the internet before we come on here.

I got a lot of questions for this man in Utah. There was a guy in Utah. Have you ever gone rock climbing, sigh? No. Do you want to? No, I don't see how that catch out. Oh, yeah, that sea was over. I mean, I don't know who he is.

But that's where all that goes on over. There's a big rock. There's a big rock. Over at Moab. So this guy was in, I can't pronounce any of that, in a canyon. Canyon lands or somewhere. Little Cottonwood Canyon. And he was in an area.

The area of the mountain was known as certain death. Friend. That's what they call it. Yeah. I think you're in the wrong spot, friend. Like on a mountain. map? No. Yeah. No, this sounds good. This sounds right. It's on that trail, I imagine. Yeah, it's like, they're climbing the rocks and they're like, oh, this area is known as certain death. Welcome.

Enjoy your stay. I ain't got nothing to prove. Yeah. I'd be out of that. That's why I said, am I into rock climbing? No. No. They do it. Okay. Okay. Because number one. Trucks and stuff like that. No, this is danger. This is rock climbing. This is rock climbing. Oh, he's hot rock crawling. He climbed. It may be rock falling. Well, here's the deal. A rock did fall on top of him.

Who did? Wow. Another climber? No, a rock fell on. Rock fell on this dude. And the rock was the size of a refrigerator. I just got a lot of questions for people hanging out in areas. But I thought we was talking about good news.

When does the good news kick in on this? Because this old boy was climbing somewhere, death and now a rock-sized refrigerator fell on. I got to read. Were there groceries in the refrigerator? Is that where the good comes here? No, he couldn't get quiet to the door. I've just tried to figure out where the good happened.

The good news is he survived it. He got away from certain death. Okay, he served. He's once a certain death and won out. He survived certain death, which is just a terrible name for, like, how do you sell that on a brochure? But he got out of. there because they sent in a helicopter and two ground teams and they they the ground teams got

the refrigerator off of them and then they flighted him out of there and he's good to go now but yeah i'm just trying to think if you to ground team like hi and the world hey guys we we got to call it we need you to go to certain death yeah uh uh-uh those be totally different right uh we're saying now they're We got another one. On certain death. We got another one. Like it fall on his legs? That fell on his fingers.

Didn't say. Didn't say. Fell on his finger. They got him. I can't get away. Hey, look. It hit him. But it didn't, you know.

It wasn't fun. But hey, he got out of there. If you're rock climbing, you're probably not listening to this podcast. But be safe out there and avoid certain death. Because that is just a just. It's a terrible name. They should have named it like... I reckon that's a badge of honor, though.

Like, hey, you know, you get a patch or something, you know, like them boys that climb Everest and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. Or you get there and you, like, leave a piece of your clothing or something. You need a magnet or something. Or sign the rock. Maybe he was trying to sign the rock and it fell on. No, those people don't sign the rocks.

You got to leave it how you found it. I just trying to figure out some reason. It makes sense of why he was there. Oh, why he was there. Man. I'm like, Martin. They do it without even being tied end or something You've seen that movie?

Every once in a while That crazy person that climbed that thing without a rope That's nuts It's on like the Discovery Channel Free Solo I've seen him That's insane Plus I can't even do a chin up

So I don't get it In other news Other news Did you ever play slow pitch softball? I played fast pitch Fast pitch Fast pitch softball Yes sir in the military

were you good at it? The team was I was part of the team we was good, okay What position did you play? Shortstop Oh yeah, he's a And I pitched

Sacrificial lamb Get over and catch him rockets I didn't play I didn't play much I pitched mostly Let them rockets hit you Yeah I pitched mostly So you were the fat

Well this could have been fast pitch I guess I played slow pitch softball For a while in the old church leagues. But there was a game going on and there was a pretty bad wreck next to it.

But luckily the game was between a bunch of NYPD officers and the police commissioners league. So if you're going to have a wreck, you have it there. Have it right beside a bunch of first responders. And they were like, time out, ran over, worked the wreck, fixed it all out,

then got back to playing softball. I don't know if the blue team or the red team won. But that wasn't a, important part. That's not the important part. They help some people out. Thank you, NYPD. That's awesome. They responded to the crash at the site. That's awesome. The police get some good press for once. Yeah. Everything bad. On this podcast, we will always give the police the good place. They made you and we love you. Thank you. And we thank you. That's right. For your service. Amen. For your service. But that's all the random findings from the internet I have today. I do have,

I'm very excited about this email. We're going to give out some life advice. Are we? Yeah. A man asked for advice for his life. Well, let's take a break and then we'll come back and give out the advice. How about that? Come back and give out some advice.

He needs advice from Sa. Oh, Lord. I don't know that we can help him. I will fix safe. Yeah, we may not be able to help you, sir. We're going to try. Well, we'll try. We'll give a shot.

There's no room at the end. Hi, we're back. And we're back. back in the hello at duck callroom.com inbox. Shoot us a message if you got a question or anything like that. Look, for all you folks that are emailing us birthday deals and shoutouts, I just want to tell you right now, and I may say this every week, happy birthday.

If your birthday was since the last time you've watched us, happy birthday. We love you. Everybody, there's a bunch of people born on every day of a year. Yep, it's hard to do all birthdays. Armando, this is for you, but we're not going to do it for everybody. But this is for Armando, and that's the only one we're ever going to do. In fact, look, by the time this airs, Johnny D.

Will have had a birthday. 32. 32 good years with Sean here. So going by Si, he's 13, and I'm going to be like four. You're going to take us somewhere to eat? I think I'm going to iron cactus on. Hey, he's going to iron some night. What time?

Where are you going on? I don't know. I told my wife. What are you going to order? from fajitas, thank you. Fahita, ta'a. All right, so back on topic. What's in that inbox, John, David?

So we're going with something. We've kind of done this, but I, so we get silly questions, we get good questions, we get, what's your favorite snack questions? But this one, my man's legitimately asking for some advice. And I think we should do a little life advice segment. All right. So this is going to be life advice from my man, Grant, from Littleton, Colorado. He sent this email more than once, so that's a good way to get me to do it.

But him and his girlfriend have been dating for almost a year, and it's not going to happen anytime soon, but he wants to know what everyone in here's advice is on knowing whether she might be the one to marry. So Grant needs to know if how do you know when she's the one? I... That's good advice. How long they've been dating? A year. Almost a year now.

And he says it's not happening soon, but my man might be in love here. So he needs some advice. I would say, here's what you do. You ask yourself two questions. Question number one. Number one, can I live with this woman the rest of my life? That's a good one.

That's solid. And the next one is, okay, depending on what the answer to that is, okay, the other one would think, well, can I live without her? Bump, boom, bong. Okay. And if you can't live without her, she's the one. Go see to the justice of the peace and say, I do, I will, I will love this woman till death do its part. Can you live with her? Can you live without that?

And then that's a chain. Yes or not. get you to two places. Yes, yes, get you to the follow-up question of can you live without her? If it's a no, hard pass. Get out of there. Time to go head back to the pond and find a new fish. I don't think I can beat that advice.

No, that's pretty solid. Godwin, you got any advice? I was going to pass a word of warning that with Brittany, I didn't have to ask this question. Oh, you just knew. Well, I was just a fake sake. I don't, you know. You should know. It is that weird.

I mean, that's that strange. It's that strange, okay? You should know. That's a pretty good. That's true. Which maybe he's asking to confirm it in his head. Maybe he already knows and he wants to confirm it. So that's why I tried to.

You know. I wasn't even going to say anything, but like I didn't. The only person I asked a question to was her mom and her dad. If they mind it. if I did. That's the only person I questioned about, or only people I question. Are you going to accept me as your son at all? Yeah. And they both told me that's fine, but no returns.

That's right. Once you get her? Yeah. It ain't been no bringing her back home, buddy. No returns, no exchanges, no exceptions. That's right. That's right. Once you say I do, you got her. So, Grant, go for it, buddy. A year, me and Brittany dated a little over a

year before we got engaged. Allison dumped me. That's good. There was a five-month period. Yeah, did you wake you up? Well, no, she came crawling back. Oh, wow, here we go. It's not even close to true.

That's when you shaved. Oh, boy. Oh, yeah. No, I don't know how I'll say this. I got in super good shape. And no, then we ended up back together. And we dated. Hey, put your apron on and go get me a sandwich.

Oh. I don't know what this happened. Oh. And then. Grant, that is not part of our advice. That is not. Never say that, Grant. That'll get you in trouble. But yeah, we dated for a year and I proposed.

And you just, I knew within like a couple of day. I was like, yep, she's, I'm going to do whatever I got to do to get paperwork involved here. So she can't just dump me again. That was, that was too simple of advice to give you. Okay. No, no, in a way. You get pretty good advice. No, but in a way, but here's what the really good advice, okay, going into this,

know that there is going to be, have to be, a lot of giving take on both sides for it to work. Speaking of giving take on both sides, he does ask a second question. Oh, what's the follow-up? There's a follow-up question, and. This pertains to number one, too. So his girlfriend grew up, I don't even know how to say this word, vegetarian. So she's not really into eating meat. So he wants to know our favorite non-meat dish.

But I got to call a red flag into play here. I think you got to sell her on meat, man. Grant, you're on your own on this one, dog. Hey, no, no, listen. Okay, that's what I was saying. of goal case there's got to be a lot of give and take okay because hey look he'll get her to brussels sprouts no no he'll take the steak hey here's the deal that's her baggage she's bringing into this deal okay bag of potatoes biodegradable yeah okay you're the other way you've got baggage too yep

that's why i'm telling you okay there's got to be a lot of giving and taking here i like it but sigh for real yeah yeah If Christine was a vegetarian, how much different would y'all's life be? Not much. Not much. You just mean plain, mean, period. You eat what you eat and she eats what she eats what she ate. Yeah, I'm for sure joking about that.

If Allison was a vegetarian, I'd be like, well, sorry that I took the Brussels sprouts in bacon. It's kind of like religion, okay? Yeah, I mean. You can try to convert her over to the meat, okay. It's vegetarian a weird one like no butter, no eggs, no, it's. fine. Oh, okay. It depends on the person.

So they're off a muscle tissue. That's their big hold of. Hey, here's my deal. If Allison was vegetarian, I'd have still married that girl for sure. And we just cook a lot more food, I guess. Yeah, you'd need like two kitchens. So if she's worth it, my favorite non-meat dish. Here's the bottom line, boys.

I cook everything in bacon. Hey, what she eats is not what attracted you to her. Yeah. Well, that's why he's wondering what our favorite non? So what do you like that's not meat? He needs advice here, too. On what to cook? Yeah.

Without bacon. Because my Brussels sprouts have bacon. My asparagus has bacon. I mean, but you. Potato put bacon on that. Well, hey, she'll tell him. Yeah, she'll let him know. If he's looking for ideas, like, I'm trying.

We're almost to like prime garden season. And my diet gets significantly less red meat. Yeah. Like all that, I mean, I eat a lot more of it. It goes to vegetables during the garden season. Yeah, I mean, I switched a lot more to peas, okra, tomatoes, cucumber, squash. But you always have a meat group with it. Well, you have a little bit, but there's, I mean, there's also a lot of times that I don't.

I'll just eat vegetables. I'll saute a bunch of vegetables and call that good. Call that my dinner. Like, you know, onion, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, put all that in one, like a big stir fry and call it good. Now, if you have some chicken, great. I just love fresh garden vegetables. But you don't get that in December, but you get ducks then. He's a cycle.

But I've never had to think about that question. Yeah. If I couldn't eat meat, what would I eat? French fries. Pork and beans. Are vegetarians? Hey, pork and beans. The first word gives that one.

I said, hey, I've got a good staple, pork and beans. I know, but it's got meat. Can vegetarians eat fish? Are they fish eaters or not? No, that's a pescatarian. Okay. We know way too much about this. A pescatarian?

Well, these are all Willie's fad diets. He's had for 48 hours at a time over the years. Oh, boy. Ranch style. If you just eat vegetables. You got no meat in them. You're what? A vegetarian?

If it's vegetables only, I think it's a vegan. I don't know. A vegetarian means I'll eat some butter. Yeah. I'll eat. Yeah. A vegan is like, you can't even have honey. Oh, you get too complicated in this, boy.

Yeah, there's all kinds. That's not me. Yeah. It comes from bees. No, no animals can even help make. Yeah, that's too complicated. And you know what I like a lot? Cheese.

Well, what do they do about to fertilize? Oh, if it's like chicken craft or something? Yeah. Guy when I haven't gone that deep into this conversation. Nip's the top off, starts new growth, and the deer helped you. And then you just smoke that thing and fried's backstrap and eat that. That's weird. What you do.

Invite her on a, get you a double seat deer stand and take her out. That's some good advice. Go home and cook it and say, you got to have a no thank you portion. No thank you. And once she gets that no thank you, she's going to get mad. She ain't been eating. Because she may be some kind of, you know, some people can't eat meat because of the hell. My uncle's that way.

He can only eat fish because he had colon cancer. Yeah, yeah. Just is what it is. You got to, hey, you got to figure out how to cook the best. dishes you can cook. I think I can live off. I could survive off a fish and shrimp. Yeah, yeah.

And scallops and oysters. I can keep going on. Yeah, I can do that. Crab. I mean, I'm glad I don't have to. And I also get really sad for when people tell me they have a shellfish allergy. Yeah. I really feel for them.

Oh, that'd be rough. Because life without shrimp. Yeah. That's bad. I love a shrimp. Our prayers are out. Soft shell, crab. Yeah, he good.

I didn't think I liked them, but, yeah. Stone fried some up. Are they good? Yeah. Edible. Interesting. Grant, thank you for the thought-provoking question.

Grant, I'm going to say this. Grant, you emailed us because you already know, start saving Big Boy. Yeah. And learn how to cook vegetables because she's worth it. Practice at Neil. That's right, boys. Yeah, don't drop the ring either.

I lost mine for a bit. Yeah. Practice him. Anyways, let's, hey, are we? Let's wrap it. We're done. We're done. Proverbs.

1310, where there's strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. If you're ever wondering something, ask somebody smarter than you, which isn't us. I'll suck on that. But I find somebody you trust and ask them for advice, and that is called wisdom. Wise counsel, wise counsel.

I'd make another piece of advice on that. If you're the smartest one, in your circle, it needs to get bigger. Yeah, you need more friends. Yeah. That's why I surround myself with many people. Amen.

You might be the smartest one in this room, though. He's definitely the wisest. I doubt that, J.D. He's the wisest, for sure. You've been there the longest. Yeah. Hey, look, I trust that man. Experience is the best teacher, boys.

Ain't that the truth? And you've touched that hot stove a few times. Hey, ow. Ouch. Yeah, it hurts. Just like that honey bottle. It's hot. I forgot and grabbed that temperature probed other day in that state.

Oh, no. Bad move. Was it about 135? That's why. Hey, that's why you put gloves on? Yeah, I know. I just wouldn't think. I said, I need to flip this thing.

All right, we're out. Are we still going? We love you guys. All right. Tonight. All, Thursday. Thursday? Or Tuesday?

Tuesday. Thursday. Thursday. Goodbye.
