I'm posting. What are you posting? A duck cover room podcast. Oh, look at Godman. Without, Si. Without teaser. Silas. How was supposed to start?

Oh, he over there, and he's, well, he's got his headset on now, but without the headset, he'll see it. He looks like a garden on. Oh, that's good news. Welcome back to the duck call room I look like a garden gnome You could for sure be a member of the sticky bandits Well I'm freezing And I'm tired of being cold

It is cold It's 12 degrees outside Martin's here Gobwin's here Goblins here Phillips here Philips here Johnny D you're here

I'm here How do you spell gnome? G N-O-M-G It's that silent G G G Gnome It's a good name Got him again But we're We're slyless.

We're sidelis. We're sidelis. It's going to be a weird podcast. Yeah. So if y'all are wondering where Uncle Sye is, well. I'm wondering. Hey, duck hunting's dangerous. Duck hunting is dangerous.

Uncle Si had a hunting accident. Yeah. So he's old. Boy, we're really leading this up. I legitimately don't know what happened. I'm sitting here as clueless as the rest of you. I got a text message that said, who wants to be on the podcast in the morning

to talk about what happened to Sai? And I was like, Ed, just don't ask no question. I guess I'll do it. So, I don't know what happened. I'll give you the front end and then Philip can give you the back end.

That's kind of weird. Of the story. I would have said it differently. Should I throw up the picture I received? Not yet. Not yet. Okay, because I just, then that's all I know is this photograph

and it's terrifying because I love Uncle Zine. I'm nervous. Not yet. So we went duck out of a song photograph. We went duck hunting this weekend up in Arkansas with our friends. It's the place Gobwin calls blood pressure medicine. Yeah. The green gate.

Y'all took size somewhere's nickname is blood pressure medicine? Yeah, because it lowers it. It don't raise it. Oh, you go through that gate, your blood pressure goes. Yeah. And we went duck hunting that morning and had fun. me and goblin sat shoulder to shoulder and then sigh and stone and the morse guys sat in other duck blinds there's like three duck blinds on this one lake and it's kind of a weird deal i won't bore the people

that don't duck up with the geometry of it all but anyway they were in one blind we were in the other one we shot what was you a dozen i don't know not many ducks i mean it was not many but great yeah but it was fun yeah no 100% it was i mean we had a fantastic time but then boys don't hunt long, which I can appreciate. I would like them. They're the, they're in the anti-Jase category. They don't ride the hole.

No, about 8.30, you see their cell phone come out, and they call a man named Tony, who is the caretaker of the place, and they say, Tony, fire up him eggs. And so that way, because they've got it timed out perfect, to how long it takes to get decoys up, get the boats back, and when you walk in, Tony's putting that last plate of eggs on the table.

I like Tony, and I like the way these people operate. Amen, buddy. There's fire going. That's nice. Whatever you want on TV, most time Westerns, especially when size there. Yeah, all you've described as heaven for size. Well, see, that's what I'm saying.

Don't think, like, we were up there roughing it. Like, y'all took Sire on a duck on and 20 degrees, and where you're all thinking, he's old, I'm like, we ain't roughing at all. So I'm glad to hear this. Yeah. Because here, here's what I got. He called me and said, hey, blackout three days.

I'm going with stone. Yeah. That's all that I knew. And that's what I wrote on the calendar. Yeah. So we had. So now I'm learning that what happened. For us, like me and Goblin and even when Jason Field would go, so it's like vacation for us.

Like for duck season, for duck hunting because it is like the easiest thing ever. You could wear the buy had just fallen out. So you couldn't wear tennis shoes this time, but most time you wear tennis shoes duck hunting because the boat pulls right up to the blind. You step out and like it's all I call me. My beach trip. Yeah, it's like a beach vacation for duck hunters. Yeah. And anyway, so we get back to the boat house.

And I guess I had probably gotten a little cold or something on the ride. I don't know. But anyway, typical Silas Robertson in a big dang hurry to get out of the boat. of the boat and into the Polaris. He was hungry. They had eggs. He fell. He knew about the eggs.

He fell trying to get out of the boat. Into the water? No, just on the bank there, like, because you pull up to the boathouse. They got a covered boat house, like, but it's steep right there. So if you don't go off the nose of the boat, like the very nose, you will fall. I know this because I have fallen right there. because you got a little mud on your boots from being out there. You step on that gravel.

So this ain't an old man fall. This is just that anybody could fall. 100%. If you don't go off the nose of that boat, you will fall. I would have fallen, you would have fallen. Phil would have fallen. I have. That's how I know to go off the nose of the boat.

And he probably knows that, right? He does. He's been there no less than 50 times. He stepped over the decoys, straddle leg. He went to take a long step instead of waiting for us to move the decoys and the shotguns. Impatient. Impatient.

A B.D.H. A big dang hurry. And he fell. And when he fell, he fell on his oxygen machine. Like, because he had it, you know how he wears it like a bandolier. So he fell, bont, lands like that. But he bounced right back up. I think he was like.

Well, he's embarrassed. Yeah. I think he didn't want anybody to see that he fell. The problem is you covered in mud now. Like, we know you fell. Like, there's no. But you asked him. Ask him like, are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Classic sigh.

And so we get. He's all checking out. I know. Yeah. Very easily. We get back to the clubhouse and breakfast is done and like we're looking up. There's no sigh. He just sitting outside.

And the, in the cold. In the cold. Which ain't. That ain't. No. Immediately I think he got a concussion, right? Like, like, he's so out of. He's so out of character.

And he keeps one of those. he's so out of character it's like what's he doing we're like hey sigh you gonna come eat breakfast oh yeah yeah it's ready so how many time it's ready when we get here like there's no there is no waiting at this joint unless you want seconds like there is no waiting but but he and then he ate and he was real quiet another red flag right and boy ain't ever quiet no stories yeah no stories he just said staw on you ready and so they loaded up got in the truck, come back home. The abrupt exit.

Yeah, so then me and Jared jumped in the truck so that we could all travel to get, you know, in case I'm like, you got something go wrong or whatever. Well, Stalin stops to get fuel there in Brinkley. And so I pull in and just, I can see Si sitting over there. He wanted a cup of ice, obviously. Got to have his tea. But I can see him sitting in the pasture seat. So while my truck's, while my truck's filling up, I just go over there.

I say, hey, old man, you're all right? Yeah, yeah. I'm like, you don't look all right. And that's too quick. Yeah. Too quick. Yeah, I know. I was like, I got some Advil.

Like, does it hurt? Anything hurt? No, no, we're fine. I'm fine. I said, okay. I said, just so you know, though, you don't look all right. Just that's where we're at. And he, he typical Robertson, who's a man, ain't nothing wrong with me.

Who'd he blame? Nobody. He ain't blamed nobody. Okay, let's do. But he wouldn't open up to you. No, he wouldn't say nothing. Yeah, he wouldn't say nothing. I mean, I asked him point blank, tried to give him some Advil.

Did he talk to anybody when he came in for breakfast? I mean, he just. If spoken, too. If spoken. So he wasn't, he wasn't in sight. No, he was not in character. Yeah. Usually you can't shut him up.

He wasn't the center of attention. I don't like this story. No. But anyway, so we get whatever, we get back home. then yesterday you get the text size headed to the er which is where philip coming well as soon as i read the text i said that old sucker done one of them ribs broke buddy 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 trytales beef makes such a good product baby

ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robertson would say 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. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their 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 TriTales beef.

I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She doesn't eat meat. She and a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com that's trybeef.com slash support ranch families

and eat some dang good steak. And here's what's going on at that time. So I just got a big trailer full of firewood and I'm hauling to my house and I get a call from Christine's lady that her caretaker, Elizabeth. She says, Philip, we're headed to the ER. I mean, I've got those calls before

but it's Christine's fall in or something and she was like, sigh. And as soon as she said that, my heart just dropped. I said, what happened? We don't know right now. His oxygen level is really low. We went into the walk-in clinic, and they said, take him now to the ER, because his oxygen's so low. And so I immediately went to the house, pulled in, jumped out with the truck still attached to the trailer, took my wife's car.

And she said, what's going on? I said, size in the hospital. I don't know all the details. yet. So I get up there. I park and I'm nervous. I mean, you know, look, when you get these kind of calls, I mean, especially with with sigh. Oh, I mean, we're all so close to him and love him so much. And so I'm just praying, you know, I'm like, I'm like, Lord, just just keep him around, you know, a little while longer. And I'm walking in and she comes out and meets me. And she said, he's in, you know, room 16 right down here to the left. I was like, okay. So I'm walking. So I'm

walking in and she's gone. She's like, tag, you're it. Christine's gone. No, no, Christine's not there. Elizabeth's like, okay, I turn around to talk to her and she's gone. I'm like, okay. She said, I get paid to take care of Christine, not the old man. Yeah, whoa, whoa.

So I walk in and there he is, and it's quiet in this room. You know, he's by itself. Nobody's in there. I walk in. I said, what is going on? And I figured he would start laughing and talking and what? No. He said, man, he said, I'm in a lot of pain.

Yeah. He said, I fell duck hunting and I think I broke some ribs. You know, he always thinks it's the worst thing it is. I think I broke some ribs. He said, but I got to get some x-rays and my oxygen's low. So the doctor comes in and he said, well, I tried to give him some pain medication, but he said no. I said, was that the first thing you ask him? He said, yes.

I said, okay, I walk, walk out here with me. I said, no, when he says no, no like that, he means yes. So pop him with some pain, medicine, and let's get this thing going. Let's get this show on. And then he got popped in both arms. No, no. And then he started telling me stories, okay, boys, let me tell you. I said he's feeling better.

Yeah, well, that's my case. Welcome back to the land of the living. That's my case. He's feeling a little bit better. And I said, tell me what happened. He explained a little bit of the story, not in detail like you did. And he said, I'm glad that doctor gave me that pain, Madison. I'll tell you what, I've been in pain for three days, you know.

And the whole time, just refusing. And Martin asked him, are you okay? Are you in pain? And they had to do x-rays. They did the x-rays, and they did all kinds of blood work just checking up. I'm glad he went in. And he's glad too because he stressed himself out. He was so worried about what it could be that he stressed himself out.

And when everything came back... I'm stressed out. And I didn't even know about it until now. When everything came back good, you know, all the tests came back good. And we were a few hours in there. Man, he was so happy. He was so excited. We said a big prayer.

And he was feeling kind of good. He said, hey, I said, Martin just text me. He wants to know how he are. He was like, yep, yep. Put him on that face thing. Let me look at him. I said, you want to look at him? He said, yep, let me look at him.

So FaceTime Martin. And then you got that, didn't you? Yeah, that was fun. FaceTime and Sae was one of them things I didn't know I needed. But the fact that Sai held the phone, he was like, where are you at? He said, show me where he at? And I was like, Si, I'm in my office. Like, I don't know what to tell you.

He was medicated. Yeah, we're working. And, of course, then when I could tell he was feeling good, I was like, all right, I'm about to mess with him. So I said, what you got under that gown, old man? He said, hey, hey, he said, now hurry up. I got a nurse coming in here a minute. He said, I'm going to get off here with you because that nurse coming in here.

I was like, oh, what's that mean? He's like, I don't know. I just don't want her. I don't want you seeing her. I was like, all right, whatever. Yeah, I mean, at that point, I was like, yeah, he's back. So we've got no broken ribs. No, so everything is good.

And we're expecting a full recovery? No broken ribs, bruised ribs. And they checked, while they were in there, they x-rayed everything, even the lung surgery from two years ago. That's good. And so everything's good. Because oxygen levels are kind of the most important thing

with our guy. That's right. Like when you start calling and saying and Sa's oxygen levels are low, like... That's right. Which I think what Sa... I knew this story ended well,

but I was still very nervous. Yeah, I could tell you, I think Sae got so nervous and so worked up that he kind of started having a little like mini panic attack kind of almost. Like got short breaths

and quit breathing deep. And I'm sure, I mean... And the pain. As a guy who's had bruised ribs, that crap hurts. Like to take a deep breath. And he knew that he has such good friends that one day this photograph would end up all over the internet. That was the other reason he was panic. He knew that Phil was probably going to take photos of it.

So you see that right there? Imagine Cy holding a telephone and FaceTiming you in that same. This is when he first went in, boys. He was rough. I sent that to Martin. Yeah, that was good. I got that last night without knowing I thought he fell in the water or something and just got... Now, now, normally, when you get the text, A, size and the ER, there's a large concern because he's a sign. He's about 77, we'll be 77 in a couple of months.

And so you're like, you know, I mean, just things happen. And then, but as soon as I read it, I said, oh, crap, he did hurt himself from the fall. I just knew everything else. It's like, oh, crap. He broke a rib. I mean, that was the, like, because if you had a seen him, and you know how his little oxygen machine is. I mean, it's like the perfect size. If you were to fall on it to really, I mean, them edges,

it really would make sense that a guy of his age falling on that. Because I'm not talking about a controlled fall, not like a, not like a stumble. I slowed down on the way down. I'm talking about like. The only thing that stopped him was his oxygen tank. Yeah. And the ground.

Yeah. And so, I mean, I just was like, Oh yeah, he broke a rib. Well, I mean, because the guy broke a rib getting a coke out of an ice chest. Yeah. I think we're fishing with John when that happened. So the fact that that would have broke a rib really checked out in my book. I was like, I'll get him healed up, you know, ace bandage, whatever.

Ace bandage. Well, there's no way to treat a broken rib. You just wrap that crap tight and don't move for a few weeks. Like, that's the only way that. They don't make cast that size. No, you can't. And you ain't going to keep him in one anyway. So like, but I'm glad he's all right.

He did get a good duck hunt the day before. Yeah, he did. Oh, well, yeah, look, he wasn't ready to tell no stories. He was very serious all the way up until he went and got the x-rays. And even when he came back, you know, he was nervous and we were praying. But when everything came back good, he was, then the stories started. And then he got loud and people were looking in the hospital room and they were talking about, I was like, sigh, stop telling stories.

Your oxygen is going down because he won't stop to breathe. Medication was kicking in. They took him off the oxygen. And so he was on his own oxygen for a couple hours. Everything was perfect. And we just thank God that he was all right. Amen. And I knew he was going to be okay when he realized that his whole demeanor changed

and he just found some relief knowing that there's nothing wrong with him. Yeah. Yeah. All of that stuff checked out. wondering what have I done to myself? Now, he did say that. He said, I've been too much of a hurry, and he said, I need to slow down. He's assessed blame on himself.

That's new. Oh, yeah. No, this is the only time I've seen himself aware in years. Yeah. Yeah. It was good. When we got back and he was covered in mud, I said, why are you in such a hurry? What were we going to do?

Was somebody going to run off and leave you? Like, well, he's used to getting left. if you ain't in the rig you get left that's why he's early like and he was in the first boat back you were going to leave first anyway me and goblin was going to be last like and another thing we talked about was being patient in life driving you know things that you're doing in your life be patient you're older now and and he says he actually said you know I forget how old I am he said I really forget how old I am and pretty awesome I just thought, yeah, yeah.

Because he says, he says, you got to stay active. He never calls me Philip. He never calls me Philip at all. He calls me Phil. He calls me Mac, you know, a knucklehead. But when he said, Philip, I got to make some changes. This was before he got the good news report. He was like, man, I got a.

You should have got you phone now. I said, I didn't want to. I just catch him on. And I said, I'm going to remind him of this when he gets well, you know. Slow down and saver. that's what I'm doing. I say that since I retired, but boy, have I been on the go.

Don't you hope you're still on the go like Si is at 7?7, though. Yeah, yeah. I showed up North Arkansas, and there was Gobwin. I walked down, I said, I didn't know you's going to be here. Oh, yes, sir. God will shows up a lot of places now. I said, it makes sense, but nobody said you were going to be here. He said, that's what I'm talking about.

Well, I ain't been able to go this year. It's pretty loud. I usually go during our split in December, but I didn't. And I'd already been up there without you. It felt kind of like you're kissing your sister or something. I mean, it was weird without being there without Gobbin. And no, it was the funniest thing. Me and Stall were sitting there talking about duck calls, just, you know, about the business.

And Gobble looked over there and he said, y'all stop that. Yeah. He said, y'all shut up. I'm retired. And I was like, well, we're not. He said, I don't care. I don't want to hear it. His blood pressure went down when he went through the gates, he said.

He was to refrain from all that. His blood pressure been down for a few weeks. All that negative top. All that negative. All that negativity. You get that crap out here. Yeah. No, man, it was fun.

It was a good time. It was a fun trip. I'm glad the old man's all right. Yeah. But it made sense, like after. That's why I asked him so many times the day. of like you know just trying to get an assessment but generally with sigh when he's that quick with you something really is wrong but you can't do nothing till now he's so hard-headed yeah you can't

until he recognizes there's a problem you can't get him to change nothing and then look and afterward when we got by the way he he said hey we got to stop by and get this medicine filled you know and he said and then pulling johnny's right there i need to get a peach on the way home oh john we got his man that sounds We got his pain meds and his pizza, took him home, and he was as happy as could be. He wolfed that pizza down. He's like, yep, okay, ball games coming on. Notre Dame can't lose. Incorrect.

Okay. Wrong answer. Speaking aside, looking a different age than he, you know, he's, we've started watching Duck Dynasty at the house. Oh, Lord. Which is just the wildest experience of my life. Because I forget, my kids have no clue. And some of their little friends, like, at school, have been talking because like it's on

Amazon Prime and some kids at school are like, have you ever watched Duck Dynasty? And Carter's like, what is it? And I'm like, son, you're about to be in for a wild ride. But the, what I look like? What did I look like 60 pounds ago? Wait, friends. Have you ever seen

have you ever seen Malcolm in the middle? No. There's this scene with Brian Cranston where he's like, when his kid walks up to him, it's like, what's Star Wars? And he like turns around and he goes like you can never return from this if I show you. Yeah, no, that's what it felt like.

I'm like, I'm about to just break Carter's whole existence and Ben's and Lottie. And look, last night I'm trying to watch the national championship. And Lottie is chanting, Duk, Commander, Duck, C, man. And I'm like, okay, I hate what I've done here. Yeah. I don't want to be part of this. Look what I did. But the whole time we're talking about SIE feeling way younger than he yet.

Doug Dynasty was so long ago. Yeah. That all y'all looks so different in the first three episodes. Like, Sai looks like he could go play football. Oh, yeah. You got a brown beard almost. Ain't no white. I was like, just on one side.

All his teeth, yeah, just on one side. But I was just sitting there and I was like, this is insane. He had them transitions glasses. Oh, yeah. One scene, they're clear, next scene. They look like freaking aviators. But I was looking. It's so funny going back down that because I hadn't done it in so long,

like watch that show. And it was just a wild ride of, I mean, and then I had to explain some stuff to my kids because of what Phil Robertson said, and I didn't remember that being part of it. Oh, which one was that? Was that Crawfair? Is that the Crawfair? No, that hasn't had.

I'm ready for that one. I wasn't ready for find you a good woman who can cook. Oh. You bring her squirrel. She'll never cut you off in. They had. There you go. And Ben's goes, huh?

I was like, nothing, nothing. Just keep rolling. Don't worry about it. Focus on side. Yeah, don't worry about it. Oh, but yes, I'm somehow raising the next little brigade of Duck Dynasty fan. They chanted it at me. Which will be wild for them because they know all of us.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I know them. They probably don't know me on that show because, I mean, I was. You know, you were hard to recognize. Yeah, I looked like I look like I ran face version to a bee. have son like Allison had two questions

when did Brittany come along and how much weight did Martin lose 2013 I was like yeah it was a couple she goes why do you lose weight I said if you were sitting here on watching yourself on TV you'd make some moves I'd actually wouldn't even I mean maybe subconsciously that was part of it mine was my back like every time

I would do something stupid and my back would just lock up and I was like, so I went and saw an orthopedist about it right before Duck Dynasty started, and he was like, you got two options, big dog. He said, you can lose weight and see if that helps or if you're past the point of helping and we'll have to do surgery. He said, I really recommend the weight loss first because nobody said, man, I love that back surgery. I always say that. I mean, he said, he was like, you're not going to meet one person that says, man, I love back surgery. So I was like, like okay actually godwin got in on it with me we we used to work out every morning you're at the

wellness center i remember that that's right when i started working here y'all would come in from the wellness center well because we had a group discount from the office like they offered us a group deal so i was like man it'd be dumb not take care take advantage of this so um have we all been told by a doctor that we need to lose weight have you oh yeah we're all in we're all in this together oh that's what i'm saying so like you lose 30 pounds i That's, you know, for me, at, what would that have been? I would have been like, 14 years ago. That's what I'm saying.

So me at 25, 26, 27, to hear at 25, you know, that age, like, yo, bud, you need to lose some weight. Like, and I'm that young. So when I was that young, I was like, man, if I don't lose it now, I probably never will. Like, so I just took it. I took it as a challenge. I got off of my Waffle House. because I used to eat at the Waffle House every morning.

For those days. Yeah. We remember them fondly. Yeah, absolutely. We should go back sometime. And that was really when I started having awareness about like soft drinks and all that crap. I cut most of those out. You know, in a week I will be one year sober of Dr. Pepper's.

Wow. You got a Friday night go get you. I never did get on that where I needed, you know, where it bothered me to. The only thing was snuff. Yeah. That bothered me to quit. How long you've been quit? Oh, I ain't quit.

He just told you it bothered him to quit. No, that's... So, yeah, that was kind of my back story on the losing of the weight. I just, I really didn't want to have back surgery at 25. That's a good decision. Or get to sugar, that'll do it too. Sugar? I'll cut it out.

Yeah. Yeah, that was my deal. Yeah, that was. Well, because we all, you know, we joke about Si and, like, we'd mess with him about his oxymachine a little. But good gracious, do I hope, at 77, am I running with guys half my age fishing, hunting and doing way? Like, yeah, I'm a step slower, but I'm still there. I'm still there, and I'm still rocking. Like, he's crushing it.

These old men, man, man, I will tote them with me. Like, if they, if they, if they were. want to go, I will tote them because I hope and pray that if I get to that point, somebody will tote me too. Now, it may take two of them to tote me. Say you can tote by yourself. Not if he don't get off that black walnut. Nah, he could eat what he wants at this point.

Oh, yeah. No, he, what, the other night that Jeff's, he ate, he just kind of kept eating. Yeah, he just grazed. Yeah, he kind of, he looked like a deer on a food plot every time I look back up. because I brought him a little plate, and then every time somebody walked by, he'd say, hey, what you got there? And he'd take something off somebody's plate.

It was so funny. You had that Duck Call Building Competition won in episode two of Duck and Honesty, by the way, and then you fell apart at the end of Martin Beach. You don't even remember that, do you? No, there was a lot of episodes, so. It's been eight years since that thing even aired the last episode. I know. No, 10, ain't it?

It's been 10? When are you going to watch it with your boys? I tried one time. I tried to pick one that had a lot of me in it just so that they could recognize. Like, hey, you know these people? No. They ain't there yet.

No. It's a wild ride. But the only thing that keeps their attention is right now for any length of time is rubble and crude. They like dogs with excavators. I don't know. I mean, to be fair. I mean, it kind of checks a lot of boxes, I guess.

To be fair, that is pretty cool. Yeah. A dog that is an excavator. I mean, that's a big deal to them, yeah. The movie stunk. Wow. Yeah. So it's, yeah, that's about the only one that they'll just like.

I'm ready for that day, though, when the Martin boys sit down and go, we're about to watch Duck Dynasty. Yeah. Oh, man. I'm not. I am. It'll be interesting. Yeah, that'll be good.

I just hope I still. You know it on a date with Si. Yeah, I hope I still remember it. Like, you know. I bet it is hard to remember all the episodes that, especially y'all were in. Well, we got it. Me and Phil got it easy. We got to remember about 20 minutes.

It wouldn't even be nothing. And we'd be like, so I give credit to them editors. Yeah. Yeah. And boys doing some amazing work. Oh, the edits of Duck Dynasty. Well, the crazy thing is. Whenever, like, Phil says something, it cuts the size weird face and then cuts back to Phil.

Guy Richie shot. Guy Richie shot. A one-liner. of the century. Well, the whole deal is like, now there's a whole new crop of people. You're talking about like your kids. Yeah, they've never seen it.

Well, then when they run into us, they've just watched it for the first time. So they're thinking that we just did it. And they're like, do you remember? And I'm like, yeah, man. Of course, I have no recollection. Well, you don't want to hurt their feelings. I know.

But you know, just wait until the next time Carter's here, just imagine, which he's hung up. up on the two bleeps from the first episode, which was controversy back in the day. We were like, why did y'all do that? Because Willie didn't say anything and they bleeped it. I forgot about it. Yeah. And I- Glory, too. Yeah, they did it. Well, and Corey. And that's when we say, all right, boys, we're out. Y'all do that anymore. So Carter's got a thing. He don't like people that cuss. Like, we won't even watch Home Alone anymore. And so I hear it and I'm like, oh, no. And he's just sitting there and he's staring. And I'm like, you okay? He goes,

did will it no no no no no and so then i explained to him what happened so then he said we need to go to california and pound that guy i said no uh is that people oh dare you're in trouble we're gonna forgive him oh dare you're in trouble son oh he was mad he was mad oh dare he was i can't remember rob rob rob rob big hair rob um oh big hair yeah the um no that's crazy so yesterday was probably a pretty big day for carter huh Did he watch the inauguration of our new president? Yeah, he went to the dentist, had a bad experience of the dentist, and then the only thing that made him happy was sitting down watching the news.

That's funny. He got a lot of questions about that, too. Yeah, I don't love you. It's just like Johanna. Johanna, when she got her driver's license, the first place she went, library. Yeah. Oh, Carter will be there just looking up stuff.

Them AR points, we smoked in. Man. The problem with Carter is he doesn't read AR books. He reads like history books. I'm like, hey, read something you can get some credit for. Yeah, well, they ought to give credit for all books, huh? It wasn't matter what you're learning about. Just sit down and read.

It's a weird ordeal. Well, that's when it'll make sense now. Yeah. Yeah, that, uh, yeah, yesterday. And then, you know, he's obsessed with Vietnam right now, too. Oh, so he's got a lot to talk to sigh about it. Yeah, well, no, you weren't here for the blurry creatures. episode. So I brought Carter in because we shot it on like a Sunday. And it was like, that's a weird

day. I said, well, I've only got to bring one of mine. Luckily, friend of the show. So could do some things. So he's got a whole list of things to ask the blurry creatures guys about stuff. I don't even know how he knows about it. And then he walks in and sees two strangers and Sighs in the corner. He goes, hello, how are you? Hello. How are you? This is Uncle Sye. He's a veteran of the Vietnam War. Let me tell you about it. And I looked at those studios. I said, yeah, so you better show some respect. That's what we're here for. Oh, Lord, mercy.

Godly. I said, we need to send Carter with Cy places just to introduce him. Let him be his hype man. Ladies and gentlemen, and I present to you, Vietnam veteran, Duck Dynasty superstar, Cy Robertson. There you got. That almost wasn't on it. Signed the future president of the United States of America.

He's president of Philpott Road. That president. Oh, who wants that job? Hey, what about Tom Baddard being covered? It's so cold. It's so cold. What about them boys getting snow south of us? Yeah.

Yeah. I woke up with like three snowflakes stuck to my truck. And then you look on the news and like Lafayette. Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans getting pounded. Hey, New Orleans can't even hire a football coach because they don't know how to fly planes into New Orleans. Right. And everybody's like, what's New Orleans doing? There's an inch of snow.

And all the New Orleans is like, we don't know. We're on lockdown, boys. We don't know what to do this. Hey, look, when I was coming home yesterday evening. I passed like about a 20 truck, dump truck, full of sand with snow plows on the front. They said it safe. Arkansas DOT going to help us out. Well, thank you all to stay to Arkansas.

That was wild. I was thinking, I was talking to Paula. I said, where are they going? She said, Alexander, they're going to get snowed in. I said, really? I said, well, why don't? I got to thinking, we. got no snow plow.

No, it'd be kind of irresponsible for the state of Louisiana. We got brush guards. Yeah. I mean, generally down here, you give it about two days and it'll be gone. Yeah. Like, the part about us it sucks is when we get that ice that won't melt. Yeah, that's right. And we got no way to melt it.

Yeah, we ain't got no salt. We ain't got nothing. Like, it just is. But snow ain't that big of a deal. Snow you can drive. Like last year, we got that snow, you can drive through the snow. Oh, yeah. That ice is the issue.

But for all you northern folks, we're sorry for all the winter jokes. A lot of my northern friends have been sending me texts. Yeah, I've got a lot of mess. Y'all okay down there? Right back at you text. Hey, it didn't snow, it didn't rain, and I'm not okay. I woke up just freezing. I was a fishing business when it's 12 degrees outside.

Still cold. We've sold like six shiners today. I went to work just to hang out for a minute, talk about politics. Where's everybody fishing it? No place fishing? Yeah. A bunch of pansies. Yeah, we all died now.

weather. The only good news about this weather is it's the one week a year. We're going to sell a lot of gloves. There you go. Yeah, run through them. Yeah, this is glove week at the honey hole. It's the only thing we sell. But if you need gloves, we're kind of your only game.

We have a deal for you. I need some of them boots. We got them too. I need to come by there and get me some. I'll be there right after this. You may get a discount. They got gripped on the bottom of those. I don't know.

they got some waves yeah they there you can do anything you can go alaskan snow crab they got a smell these do kind of got a all them you got to wear socks with them yeah well most people wear socks i know you don't no but i'll put i'll put that foot potter stuff in there and that help yeah yeah i took my shoes off other night and me and jared were staying in the same room at that place was that and he Oh, yeah, I was there. He said, oh, who's making that pot of squirrel gravy? I said, hey, don't worry about the inside of them waiters, son. They done got a little musty.

Oh, that was W.E. Yeah, no, it wasn't me. No, it was me and Jared. I took my socks and shoes off. He said, ooh, somebody brewing a pot of squirrel and gravy or something up in here. I said, yeah, inside them waiters doesn't got a little tough. Come to the end of the year. That was wild, see, and it's crazy.

We live in the same time, but we see each other more. when we travel. Yeah. We just run in each other. Well, that's because you quit coming up here. Amen. He's sorry, rascal. On purpose.

Me too. Guy of them retired, and I had to travel four hours. Just see him again. Good call. Someone from Manitoba. Yeah, Canada. Winnipeg just emailed him, by the way. His name's Henry.

Yeah. And he said, I'm laughing at y'all about to cold weather. This isn't live. He sent this five days. We've been whining about being cold forever. Oh, yeah. He said up there it's colder than negative 50 wind chill. Yeah, but the fact that he's still up there is that's his fault.

Yeah. We like, I'm thinking about migrating from here. Look. They make us nice this time of year. They say it all the time. But when it's 100 degrees, I can walk outside. And if I'm mildly prepared, I won't die. No.

You go out there in minus 50 for more than like two minutes. Yeah, you die. And like your eyes freeze and like blood free, like stuff like that. I ain't stay in there like that. I'm out. I don't care how nice the summer is. Nope. It feels like 21 right now outside of these walls.

And I'm, I have, I don't even existential dread. Is that a thing? I'm not even looking forward to driving back to work because it's going to be so cold. And what's crazy? As hot is this room? gets there in the summertime, it gets that cold during the wintertime. I have on two pair of pants right now. And you ain't hot.

And two, a hoodie and a jacket. Yeah. Yeah, that's cold. It was, how cold was it where you was at yesterday morning? 21? No. 21. 21 with a 10 mile an hour north.

There's a reason the Lord started civilization somewhere around the Middle East. It's all I'm saying. And nine of her, where your brother was. Huh? It was nine where you'd be. Brother lives. Johnsburg. Yeah.

That's too cold, man. That's cold. Shoot. It's unbelievable. Well, we're to that point. Hunter, do we want to do voicemails, emails? Hello. At dot callroom.com.

If you want to send us an email and the phone number is 318. 318. 318, 31565559. 318, 2156559. send us a voicemail. I'd be remiss to not congratulate the fans of the Ohio State. Ohio State Bucket. I was rooting for Notre Dame because I like their coach.

But I also like a, you know what? I got paid by Ohio State, so I'm cool. All right, Hunter, what you got? You got anything or we go an email? Yeah, I got one. Go ahead. Hit us with it, Hunter. Five miles, 12 donuts, one hour.

Y'all look up the Krispy Cream Challenge in Raleigh, North Carolina. What? You'll pray for me as I embark on this journey and try not to lose my guts in the process. Thank you. Krispy Cream Channel. Hold on. Look at it.

Jeremiah. From North Carolina. That rhymes. So is he got to ruin five miles? 12 donuts, five miles one hour in Raleigh, North Carolina. What is the Krisby Cream Challenge? 2400 calories, 12 donuts. I just want to know what you have to do.

Yeah. Do you run five miles, then eat 12 donuts? But if you got to eat the 12 and then run, that's a lot bigger deal. If you can eat while you run, that's easy. Can you run five miles an hour? I'm in the best shape of my life, Martin. I understand that, but that's like a, I mean, that's average in a 10-minute mile. I could do that.

I couldn't. I just ran one mile the other day. I ran in eight minutes. There you go. Eight minutes is about my mild time of just getting it. So I think I could do five miles in an hour. It would be close. Yeah.

I'm not saying I would do it with ease. But to be fair, of all the people that could also eat 12 donuts, I feel like this was actually made for me. But I'm a little confused on the rules. Yeah. Is there an order of things or do you just have to accomplish that? It is cool because it's a whole bunch of people doing it. What do you win?

Oh, no. Okay. Wow. Psychopaths. Psychopaths. So look, this is dedicated to sporting North Carolina Children's Hospital, which is really, really, really cool. I like children's hospitals.

I'm fond of New Orleans Children's Hospital, but I'm sure North Carolina Children's Hospital is doing great things. So this is a really cool thing that they're doing. You have to run two and a half miles, then eat 12 donuts, and then run back to where you started. I don't think I could do that. I'll eat the 12 donuts, but I'll drive. Yeah, we have to have.

a four-man deal to do it. Yeah, can we tag team this thing? Like, oh, it's, it's, it's February 1st. There's still time to get there, Johnny, there's still time for me to practice. I'm not going to North Carolina's the problem. I'll be your donut coach. And them Carolinas, them people staying in tents up there. Yeah, some of them. There is a, there's a virtual race registration. Oh, you can do it here? to run your own crispy cream challenge. We don't have a crispy cream. Thank goodness.

Okay, I can't do it because of that. Well, you can. That guy won a street port. What is? Is it about two and a half miles from the honeyholder here? You can run the streetport. So you could run here. Eat 12 donuts.

Turn around and run back to work. I don't like running over the interstate. That'd be fine. That's kind of a pinch point, but you should make it. I wonder what's the best way to run to work from here. I almost rode my bike one time. After deer hunting all year and wading in mud all year. You still couldn't run five miles?

I still kind of achy. No, I can't run five miles. I'm feeling kind of achy. I don't have five miles in me. Not continuous. No. No, I'd have to be like run one, walk one. That's where I'd be.

I'm trying to decide if I want to try and do this, but I don't want to eat 12 donuts. You don't want to run out there when it's that cold. No, it's too. Y'all should do this in the summer. That way you can sweat a little, gets your sweat on the donuts. Go to the mall, run in the mall. Oh, the medical mall, you just do laps around. Fast walking.

That's a fast walking mall. Do laps around the blue hairs. I run too fast for them old ladies. Hunter, we got any more? Hey, y'all. My name is Thomas, and I'll give you all a second to guess where I'm from. Thomas, I appreciate you being from North Georgia. Alabama.

He's definitely one of us. I'm from Dallas, Texas. Wow, we went east. Oh, he's not from Dallas. He lives there now. He's calling Dallas. Born in Alabama. Like, he's nowhere near Dallas, Dallas.

He's an hour away from Dallas, but he calls it Dallas. Oh, hi. Dallas like the England of cities. And I just recently bought an engagement for my girlfriend. I was wondering for you guys in the duck call room, how did you know that your wife was the one? Well, I made that decision before I bought the ring, big dog.

Thank you all. Love y'all. Have a good one. We're out of order, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Thomas, you got some splaining to do, man. Splaining. That's a real hunter move there.

That's a real Munson. No, he knows. because she think he's the one. No, he knows. He's just trying to get some validation. Hunter, I love. If you bought the ring, you already know. Yeah, he's figured that part out.

Oh, yeah. I don't know. I mean, validation to know that she's the one. I knew when I was dating my girlfriend who became my wife, I mean, I just, I don't know, I just knew we were compatible. I know. Very different, but compatible. and we both loved the Lord.

And so I had somebody to help me through this life. And I said, yep, this is who I choose. This is who I want. And I did. I prayed about it and seek God's will about it. And that's about all you can do. Yep. Yeah.

I met Paula before. It was BC before Christ. But I just knew the way she acted, the way she handled herself, the way she just was different than anybody else. As far as she was smart. I mean, she is smart. And I said, boy, I need dad to help me through this life. Boy, that was a good catch right there.

That was the good catch. That was a good catch there. That's pretty a move, son. It was. She was smart. But I just knew it. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

It was, yeah, just one of them deals, man. It's like, I mean, she was the only one that I'd run up on that I was like, yep. So I don't, I mean, there was just something different in there. She was only one tall as you. Well, that. And she was extremely lippy, which I knew I needed that. You like that. I knew my introverted self needed an extrovert to get through life.

I felt so bad when I, I needed the opposite. When I met your wife now, Brittany, years ago, and I said, Martin, is this, this is your fiancé? Yeah. And he said, not yet. Nope. Awkward. Yeah.

But there are them puzzle pieces that just kind of. a fit together like i would say philip said i mean a lot of times you are very different but it takes that difference to make a whole are you and alison very different what are you talking about yeah yeah i mean when you date and when you date girls you know and you and you like them and uh but there's just something different they're just something different yeah you'll know it oh ain't no doubt. And if he went and bought the ring, you know it. Like, unless you, bless your buddies were like, I bet you won't do that.

They may ought to reconsider. When I wanted to go out with Alicia, and she was teaching a rinerobics class I was taking at the gym back in the day. And she never would go out with me. Her car was broke down on the side of the road. She had a flat tire. I pulled over to save the day.

And when she said, I can't believe you put a pin in her tire before she left work. That's terrible. That's awful. And then followed her home. They made podcasts about people like you. Awkirk.

Awkward. No. No, but she said, no, I don't need your help. She said, I got this. She said, my grandfather taught me how to work on cars. I can change the oil. She said, I don't need you. And that's when Philip said, Mary me.

I said, she's the one. Yeah. My truck is old. Because I got a bad tire. I need you to fit. Can you help me then? Help me out. It is weird that you put a nail in her tire, though.

Like, that's, that's, that's aggressive behavior. Well, there you go. What's his name, Thomas? Right? It's going to work, Thomas. Good luck, Thomas. Thomas, if you're quiet, you need one that's lippy.

If you're loud, you need one that's quiet. It's great advice. Yeah, me and Gobind went with a lippy ones. Because we're pretty quiet. My buddy that just got married, I had met her. I'd met her. Oh, I bet she's outgoing, buddy. Yeah.

Well, you know my buddy. He's quite. Me and him got together so well because, you know, he's super quiet and I'm super loud. And when he was telling me about this girl, I was like, yep, she's going to be lippy. Yeah. I was right. Was she?

No, not it was. Yeah, yeah, there you go. Don't let her and Brittany get together. The whole place to be loud. I won't even be there and I'm one of the loud ones. We swung by Godwin's after we recovered from the flu. And Brittany and Paula got over there and it was like time had never passed. Oh, yeah.

Me and Godwin sitting in his recliner and I'm sitting right beside him and his. dogs in my lap. We ain't saying a word. You don't have to. That's a men thing, though. It's a good visit. I talk a lot and I'm loud,

but I don't have to talk. Yeah. Sometimes I do, though. Anyway, Psalm 147, 16 through 18. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast?

But then here's the best part. He sends his word and Felt them, praise the Lord. He stirs up his breezes and the waters flow. All this ice and snow is beautiful and it's a great thing. And the Lord has made all the seasons. But praise God for summer. Yeah, and it's temporary.

And be careful playing in it. Amen to that. Don't get frostbite. And slow down. Be patient. I can't wait. Say a prayer for sigh. Oh, they's going to be so many blooperies.

I mean. Hales. It's not, the snow's an inch thick. It's just going to be them playing in motion. That's what I'm talking about. I know, but some of them's getting seven inches. Yeah. There you go.

That's pretty wild. Now, throw one up for the old man that he continues to recover. He should be back in a couple of days, Lord willing, and we'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out. We're out.
