So, Sye, it's the third day of duck season, and what me and Martin heard was the first two days you didn't do good, the last two days you've done really good. No, then there was some misinformation and miscommunication. The first day we did not fire shot. That was opening day, Saturday. Sunday, we killed, we knocked down six. Okay, we picked up five. One of them slickers. He was crippled.

Then today, same thing happened. About six coming in. Okay. I didn't see, you know, Jace just said, shoot him right here. Well, then I look, and I'm seeing flickers going to the left.

So I just raised that 20 gauge up. I'm talking about, boom, one, he crippled down. I look, flicker again, boom, he crippled down. Then one was going way out there, seeing a flicker here, boom. A flicker. He crippled down.

So you're three for three? I was three for three. But we did. Stone one out there. He's looking at him. Boom. He killed that in over there, the longest one. Then when we got ready to leave, I told them, I said,

hey, y'all need to look out there around where that grass starts where Stone had to pull in this morning because he made a wide turn. And then about that time, Stone was just seeing it get out of blind. He just, boom, he killed another one. I said, okay. I said, that was two of them that I crippled down. I said, one of them got away. What?

Yeah. I was three for three. And then we picked them up, our dog. which is stone picked up to them. You being mean to stone? Do what? Don't be mean to stone.

I ain't made the stone. You just made him go pick them all up? You made Stone go pick all your ducks up? You don't make Stone do nothing. A lot of truth to that. Stone volunteer? What are you talking about that? Stone is just a good man that does it out of the goodness of his heart.

So you killed three of 12 ducks? Uh-uh. I don't. Three of ten. We didn't kill it with ten. He got them to the water. Five Sunday. Five Sunday.

Five Monday. Ah. I kill one on Sunday and three on Monday. Are these all blue wing till? All blue winged? Oh, no. Because Philly shot one on water. What, yesterday?

Yeah, yesterday. She killed a green wing. Huh. I'm glad you didn't say Woody. Yeah. No. No. No.

One of them rainbow teal. Oh, one of them. We killed a couple of, yeah, we killed a couple of green wings opening day, too. Them green wings were nice. They actually responded to a duck call. Then blue wings are flying around scared to death. Oh, no, no. We're scared to death.

We've seen four bunches Sunday. Mm-hmm. Okay, like you said, yeah. Scared. Here they go south and here they go north. Yeah. They got that thousand miles staring in their eyes, you know. Well, and Jason was called.

Hey, Saturday, we had the best duck teal hunt I ever did have. Yeah, this is what I want our listeners to hear about this story. So how many did you kill? We killed 16. Now, hold on. How many did you catch? We caught eight. Okay, wait a minute.

You killed 16 and you caught eight teal? No, we didn't catch eight teal. Oh, well, who did you catch? We caught eight catfish. Oh. Wow, they were teal hunting. Did you happen to bring a grill in a pan and blackout? them catfish?

No, not yet. But they have been filet. Oh, they've been filet. And they was all about a pound and a half. Oh, good, great. Them good stuff. So you were, you should name y'all filet them? No, you should have just cut their head off, yanked the fins out,

and then hit them about three times each on each side with a sharp knife. I don't like me. And then, brown. I don't like my fish when I eat them like some assembly required. I'm out on that. I don't want to be digging around bones. Oh, you're eye on assembly? Yeah, like, let's eat him.

Okay. And I've heard all that. When he eats with fish, he likes to eat fish. It's all that junk bones make them taste better. No, that's a bunch of garbage. You want to work out while you eat. That's all that is. Well, you tell me that your mom used to eat the tails.

Oh, no, I eat a fish tail. I'll eat a tail. Yeah, like a tater chip. I'll eat a fish tail. Because you fry it, it's crispy, crunchy, crispy and crunchy. You can eat him all the way to where that tail hits a meat. And then he's too thick.

He hurts you to him trying to buy another. Get that at Captain Dees. I don't have that there. I have questions. Do they have fish? We got all kinds of action for you, JD. They have the wild caught processed Alaskan halibut over there at the Captain Dees. There we go.

So you were duck hunting and then you just started fishing? Well, say, look, here's deer. We were sitting there. Why did you have a poll? So many questions. See? Well. Fill us in.

Okay. So this reservoir, Clay just bought it. It's a big one. Oh, this is a new one. Yeah, it's a big one. So I fished it back during the spring right when he bought it. And I caught like, I don't know. Just a chat.

A big old drum, probably 15 or 20 bass. And the first fish caught out of it was a crappy. On a wopper plopper. So if anybody knows, I ain't ever seen a crappy eat a wopper plopper. And he was about the same size as the bait. So it was very bizarre. So we figured while we're sitting out there. Might well try to crop you.

See if we catch a crappy. Why not? You know? So we took a point. pole. No crappy was back. But we weren't even fishing yet because we still hunting, but then when we shot the first month my little yellow shotgun shells were floating

because I'm shooting my 20 gate. Just like a bobber. Yeah, it was just sitting out there. Well, I look out there and the catfish comes up and decides he needs to taste that heavy shot. Yeah. And I said, huh. I said, Jacob, where's that fishing pole? He said, I got right here. I said, throw by that shotgun hole. He threw by

that shotgun hole. That thing just never stopped. court gone. Huh. Set the hook, a half catfish. I said, all right,

now, hand me that rock. We got some work in here. So we started taking turns, except the jerk string was in the way for him, so I could catch them and boat flip them into the person next to me. So I was just catch him. I'd throw him in the boy's lap next to him and say,

take that off. And he'd take it off. Nobody move. Give me my cricket back. And I'd throw back out there. We ended up with eight catfish and 16 teal. That's a beast. you want to see it, it's on the Duck Commander

YouTube channel if you want to watch it, but it is funny. Look, I got that big stick out. Oh, he got that big stick out. Yeah, what is that a Cars 3 fishing rod? No, actually. So that, that right, that ride is one of those at telescopes and goes down to like a foot long. Oh, you had planned this. Absolutely, I planned. Yeah, he planned it. Oh, yeah, that one we had to get to P-Roe after. I couldn't boat flip him.

Well, Phil, how did you're opening day go of teal season? It's funny that you even asked It was great What'd you do? How did you kill? I slept in, I didn't go Hey, I wanted to go Matter of fact, I said,

Hey, Sa, do you think? He said, don't even ask me. So I saw Phil Sunday at church. Yeah? I said, Phil and Phil gave a great lesson and I think six or seven people were baptized. It was really good.

We had some friends come in from San Antonio. Anyway, I said, Phil, I said, it's about time that we get me work back into the blind. He said, ha. No more response. That's all you got. He did the, uh,

Ha! Walked off. You know, Phil don't always answer you. I need to translate what that means. Yeah. I don't think you do. No, no, do it. What's banned?

Always banned. Yeah, that's a, you ain't getting back in there. That's right. You ain't getting back. That's worse than TSA. I think like if you get banned from TSA, you eventually work where you can fly again. Oh, yeah. Phil Robertson, you're out.

You're out, but you're on forever. Well, hey. At least you didn't have to wake up. at three o'clock in the morning. That's true. I sure did. I don't know how I don't know how side does it.

He doesn't. He don't miss. I went to bed Friday night at 245 a.m. Cy, that's called Saturday morning. What are you doing from Friday nights? You party animal? Call.

Call. Four. Oh, boy. Raise. How much money did you lose Friday night? Oh, I dropped a little bit. I've got to get into playing poker with side. It sounds very lucrative.

No, you don't, because here's what he does. He takes money from his friends. Yep, yep, yep. Me and Philip can't beat him. Uh-uh, we can't meet him. He gives it to everybody else at the table. Him and Willie, but if you get to watch him and Willie. I'm real for my friends.

Yeah, you'll love the battle between Jace and Willie and then sigh and Jays. Cy is the king of that low-peer draw, you know. Stay in it to the end with middle pair, and then, oh, I got two pair. Two pair. What the crap. at it. He's staring at you like he knows what he's doing. What's your strategy,

so I tell the truth. Well, I'm going to be like Jace. I'm like Jace. I ain't got any strategy. But unlike Jace, I don't have any luck either. Jase ain't got no strategy,

okay, and he's lucky. He's got a full-grown mule. With heavy shoes, okay, stuck somewhere. Ladies and gentlemen, that's a horse shoe stuck right up his foot.

It was right on his foot. would take one of Plunkets Biggest record trucks. Plunk's wreckers. For extraction. For those of you not from West Monroe, that is one of the local towing services around here.

They also don't have an E.T. on the end of their name. It's plunks. Fine people. They've got me out of a mini about it. Thank you. That's well. Anyway, let's look.

Let's take it a break and read an ad from Plunk's record service. Right? No, we're not. All right. That's going to cost you, Plunks. We know you got it. Commercial.

all right look springtime is here it's warming up you know what that means that means more outside cook and and y'all know we love to eat beef around here and that's what because of our friends over at try tails beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robertson would say buy on the grill look before we got tritels getting ready for a cookout man somebody had to run the grocery store do all the things grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day and you never really know where that beef comes from, but with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas.

They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people, 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 me. She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. The problem is I ain't got no video The best part of that pontoon deal Because what happened See what happened was

First I was doing what I was supposed to be doing You go like this That thing Ended up Day before opening day We had put it in Pulled it up to the boat ramp Well the wind switched

Everybody know got out of the north A high synthemat like you ain't seen lately blew up on that thing Well now we can't go nowhere Because that pontoon won't get up up on, you can't, you can't go nowhere. Where are you going to go? So we, I got a video on my phone of it.

We had to hire an airboat to tow us out of the highest, man. We tore that pontoon to pieces. It was fantastic. We had to rebuild it out there on the water. You hired an airboat to tear your pontoons up. Yeah. I mean, you got to do what you got to do. You got to pay for it.

I mean, yeah, you just post. The hyacens, the float. The hyacinth. Water highs with cramp. Yeah. No, it blocked us in. We couldn't go nowhere. The mud motor wouldn't even get up on it.

So we, we, it cost us three alligator tags, a night of frog and some long wheel base tins, but we got it towed out there. You got it to do? That's what you got to love. It cost you the alligator tags. You didn't get to you? What that? Well, I mean, he got to be with us because we, we the tag holder.

But he gets to keep them. So whatever. Which that's fine. Look, if that's alligator, I ain't got to clean. I'm happy about that. I'm in. Oh, what are you talking about? That's a nasty animal.

Well, not on that. And hey, it's dulled the sharpest knife. Yeah. In seconds. He's just a bad critter. But they went the night before opening day and caught, they already cast in their frog trip. They caught 60 frogs.

So this thing end up costing. That's what you got to love about rednecks. Oh, you can barter and trade anything. We can trade frogs for airboat rental. That's right. Where else in the world can you do that? Right. Hey, I've traded duck calls.

for a tire, a spare tire. How much do you pay for them duck calls? I don't even know. But it was duck calls for a spare tire in a bind. Are you stealing duck calls? So you got a free spare tire. That's awesome. But it wasn't spare when I needed it.

It was like putting it on. It's all I had. Oh, you just had duck calls in your car? I was like, well, I can trace the dog. He don't eat them anymore. He ain't hunting. He doesn't got it. Ouch.

Hold on. Ows. Ow. Isn't that the reason you got it? banished was because of duck calls? He shot him. You don't get banished for blowing a call. You get banished when you jump up and not three birds down.

If you had blue a call, you would probably get banned from. Oh, they ain't run you off yet, so. Hey, look, boy, I can call them as good as anybody. I had you back, Philly. I was looking at you, buddy. That's right. Duck season is it open, boys. You got to sharpen your wit.

You ain't kidding. You got to be on your toes. How many more days of teal season are there? What are we? What is it? We got 13 more days. It's 16 days total. 16 days total.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a fun time. And we'll kill, oh, we'll be lucky we'll kill 10 more. And you're going to go every day. Every day. Well, John Devin? Here's the thing.

You never know. Here's the broken rule. You never want to miss. You never miss a day. Because the day you miss. The day they burn their gun barrels off. They burn their gun barrels. I've heard of it.

Here's Phil's lying about teal season. When you go, you don't fire a shot, he said, we're one day closer to killing them. Every day that goes by, you don't kill them. You're one day closer to get them. You're one day closer to kill them. I just got other stuff going on. Yeah. Tiel season is a laborer.

Cleaning your Rolex. Oh, you stop. You got to love it to do it, okay? I just don't want to go sit in the woods and not have a chance. You just said you're going to hunt for 13 more days. And it's like, I may kill 10 more. You may or we as a group. We may.

So there's six of you down there. Yeah, unless, okay, it happens that, hey, we have one of those days when here they come. So you're just waiting on that day. And then we could kill, okay, you know, if it happens a couple days in a row, we can go ahead and get her numbers up in the 60s and 70s. But all logic and reasoning says you're going to kill 10 more blue-wing deal, which tastes like mud. About four years ago,

it would have been a day like tomorrow's going to be. Kind of nothing, no weather, stale weather. They talked me into going with them. And I was like, man, why am I going? Y'all hunt too long? What are we doing here? Ride the hole. They ain't killed one in four days.

I was like, you know what, there would be good conversation. Let's go. I'll go sit in the woods. Yeah, the fellowship would be better. We hunted about 17 minutes, killed 42. and there was never any inkling that we should. So the next day you're all fired up,

well, we're about to tear that. Next day? No, I told them after that next day, I said, well, I've enjoyed it, boys. I'll see y'all getting about four years. About four years. So tomorrow you need to go with them. No.

No, I'm on a better bag in that. See, because we got 16 opening day. We killed eight second day and we killed 17 today. So I'm going to stay on my bag. Martin's got his own little duck holes. Martin's like a politician. He knows he's got to do it on his own when it comes down to it. He's just...

No, I'm a strong believer in this. So if I hunted with them every day, which I could, and if I wanted to. Don't rub that in. I don't want to. I don't want to. There are a couple of reasons. One, I run this company.

Two, they just hunt way too long. So... Ride the whole. Ride the whole side. They stayed too long. And there's definitely no breakfast. And no breakfast. So, or, and, but I could hunt with them.

We would have one cameraman in one place every day. If we got them great. If we don't, we got no footage. Or I can take one for the team. Oh, yeah, that's what it's called. And go hunting with my buddies and then we got two cameras working the whole time. And then we always have footage for people to watch it. Like to watch the car.

So me and Phil need to go get a third cameraman. So we have just up our odds. Probably, because if you get banished from Phil, you ain't welcome with me either. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. We talk. Hey, just to be fair, I'm still welcome. them everywhere. What about me and Johnny D going hunting together and then filming it?

Yeah, y'all should film it. Hey, that's it? Yeah, y'all should. A quick question. Where are we going? I don't know. Yeah, y'all need to end up up there at Afwamistan. You need to get with John and Gimber. No. You and Philip get it with John Gimber. Me and Gimber used to hunt together all the time.

We could go to William Bray. Yeah, Affleamistan. I got one rule about duck hunting. What's that? I only go if Martin asked me if I want to. I'm just waiting on the invitation because that generally means they need to other guy because it's going to be a great day.

Just for a limit. And I just... Well, he knows we're going to kill him. You ain't going to kill him, dude, squad, but hey, you're good for a limit. No, he kill him. He can kill him. He can kill him. Absolutely.

He can kill him. I got hand-eye coordination, son. I don't know about this one. Hey, I'm kind of believing that Johnny D may be a good shot. No, he's good. No, that's all I'm good at. Everything else. He sounds just like you on a duck call.

I can't buy a duck call. I can't. He's got to get that head start. He's got that kickstart. He's got that kickstart. Well, hey, look, I've heard a mother to hand do that. Me too. And, hey, I just heard that.

I have sat them in the decoys and shot them, boys. And I've shot the ducks you've said in the decoys. I just like to give you a hard time. That's just for fun. So before you people in the comment section, say, quit picking on Sia. Look, he's shot ducks I've called in. I've shot ducks he's called in. We're all happy.

We're just messing around. And the best day we ever had, and it was about three days in a row, was up there when he had rented a rice field. Oh. And, how's good. Arkansas? We're going,

we're going to the hole one morning. To the hole. I'm telling Martin, I said, hey, Phil's got a theory. And Martin said, what's the theory? I said, when you're going to wherever you're hunting, whether it be by boat or four-wheeler, and you're looking on the water,

and you start seeing fresh duck feathers. You count them. Okay. So, so we're going to the hole. well he's going to kill speckle badly because that's all i've been killed yeah that's all he'd been killing was specks so he said hey we're going to kill specks tomorrow i said okay that sounds good i ain't ever killed no geese so yeah okay that's good so look we get on the four we'll get up there unload the four wheel and when we come to the rice fill he jumps off in the corner of it

you know and i said you know i told him about the duck feathers however many if you see 10 that means there's a hundred ducks there one feather equals 10 ducks really one feather equals 10 so look the day before we didn't kill much we killed oh maybe 8 or 10 yeah so when we jump off in the rice field on the corner I'm looking and the wind's blowing toward that corner and I'm saying good grief I said Martin when we come out yesterday I don't remember seeing any duck feathers on this this right field he said there wasn't and he said not only that he said I was watching what come in here here last night at dark till dark. He said, there was nothing here. Them feathers wasn't there. And I said, well, that's probably, I said, that's probably a hundred feathers I'm looking at. Quick math.

So, hey, look, we come, you know, motoring out toward the blind. And all we can hear, gack, gack, gach, gach, peep, beep, beep, pip, pip. And then it just all over. Hey, daily out breaks. It's just, here comes in a little. Let's shoot them five-mothers. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, y'all. Goodness, shoot them three-pin-up, boom, boom, boom, you know.

So we full limit that day. Well, we do that three days in the row. How many of y'all was? A bunch of y'all? First day is just me and size. Yeah. It was late in the season, too, so it's kind of weird. And then, so everybody was worn out from hunting.

I was begging people to come. I was like, if you'd have any money, he'd have paid them. Hey, I just made you there. I just need you there in case we get. into them. He begged everybody but Phil. McMillan. He was saying,

but we hammered them for three days. He had probably just sucked out on me the night before some old crap poker hand, I'm sure. I love old hunting store. Two pair, but it's just twos and three. Well, I had a pair of kings.

I know you did, but hey. He hit the three on the river. That's a size move. Oh, I know it. For all the fans, that's size move. Yeah.

All right. Well, let's take a break. We'll be back out of place. The best fishing trip I had this year was, though, we went to the Little Red River. Who did you go with? We were Stone and B-K. We went to a P-A-N-P-A-N-P-A-N-P-A-N-G-B-U-R-N.

Population 6-Hole-3 in Arkansas, and it's on the Little Red River. What we did know, we're up there, and I get out of the car, the truck, walked down to the boat ramp. They're putting the boat. in, okay, and I'm watching all these fish. I just want to compare this to the story from four episodes ago to see if they're the same. Well, hey, look, is this the same story?

Oh, yeah. Is it the same story? I just want to hear what kind of creative license is taken with this story. Hey, we're watching them pop. But you haven't heard it, so that's good. So, look, they put the boat in and we get in and I'm going to tell this guy if he starts the boating to take off. You know, hey, Jill, shut it off, let's go right out of him, fishing a little while.

But he's already wise to it. He said, hey, we're just going to go out here about 10 yards. And all you do is four foot deep, you know, I've got you sit right. I've got you a little jig on it, a trout jig. Just throw it out there upstream and pop it one time when it's coming in, you know. So I throw it out there and pop it. The court goes under. Well, for two and a half hours, I sit there doing this, me and BK.

Okay, we caught 200. 50 rainbow Trafft. Was that what he said last time? Something like that. That's about that. So what we didn't know,

okay, they tell us later when we come back tell me, well, I said it is always like this and it's the whole river that's the way this thing works.

He said, usually, he said, it's this good most time. He said, but what I didn't tell you was right before we got here, the truck

come down to stock it. Okay. He backed up where the boat comes in. and just dumped about 500 trout. You know what you called out? Half of them. You know what you call that?

Bated. A good fishing guy. Yeah, baited. So, I will say that you are lucky at fishing. I'll say that. No, son. Hey, no. There's no luck involved.

Okay. I am a pro fisherman, okay. Is that a sport, son? Yes, it's a sport. He got one of mules, too. Yeah, he does. Oh, well, it's easy. I'm a pro-fisherman.

When you only fish with hammers, it's easy to catch them all the time. Trust me, I got a few friends that are hammers now. They say cast this way. So we were in Belize. Hey, cast this way, or hey, you're running it too fast. Slow it down. We were in Belize. I just want to point out that you make fun of me all the time and you just started a story with.

So we were in Belize. Go ahead there. Fancy Pants. I'm, let's hear it fancy pants. Hold on. Tell us about Belize. I'm rolling the camera and signing. stall on or fishing and Sevy

is pushing the boat with a pole You remember that? My good friend Sevy Yeah, Sevy Like we know that is. You know, Sevy in case he's listening. Hey Sevy by Osteros. He's not listening.

Sevy, show us the fish. So anyway. We're after bone fish. And these bone fish. Bone fish. The guy, Jay went the day before and caught one. Yeah, he fished all day. One.

Stone only caught one? Yeah. So now we're back at him with, we got the camera rolling. and sigh is catching them left and right i mean and these things are pulling like he's got a shark on the other end of it don't hook the first one he hands it to me and says okay you know you really mean so they're feminine so i'm running this thing and hey i would have swore he weighed like five pounds we got pictures of this right yeah man i've seen this picture yeah yeah but anyway

anyway he's got the pole double and i'm talking about i got a whale guy's good creak you all i said my muscles start to cramp up just. Oh, yeah. You know, I pull him in. Pound a quarter. Yeah, no. No, you're being generous, okay? That's being generous.

He's about that long. Seven inches. About seven inches long looking. He's about like a good, a good fat cigar. Right back around. Why don't you hoping to be an orange? It took me about 15 minutes to get this stupid thing. in. I said, you can put it in the world.

I said, what's the biggest one, Chevy? What's the biggest one you caught? Chevy. You know, and he said, eight pounds? And I looked in and I said, I looked at it and I said, on this little bitty rod and real? So Chevy, I don't believe he was doing. He said that thing pulled like a silverado. It poured like a silver rod. I said you, I thought I was hooked to a John Deere driver.

And you were just struggling with a seven-inch cigar. Yeah. Couldn't, didn't know how to handle it. But look, we did catch. 25 of them. Oh, yeah. Okay. And we, no, they say they're good, but hey, there were some other kind of fish he had.

It was silver, okay, a little old funny-looking thing, funny shape, too. We've seen a school of them, but they wouldn't bite turkey. Then, what, Dr. Garrett went the next day, and he caught one of the other kind. Oh, yeah. Of course. Yeah, I don't remember what that was called. He's slapping them on a deck. Yep.

Doctor who? Dr. Gatch. Martin. Yeah. Dr. Garrett of Homes of Hope. So, hey, so let me tell you, I bring that up to tell you this, Cy is lucky when it comes to fishing. I guarantee you.

Luck has nothing to do with it. You're one of the luckiest human beings on her. He's the luckiest man in life. Dotter. Dot net. Dot net. Okay. So I'm actually got like 71 years of fishing.

Oh, here we go. Sa, did you really just say you're not? lucky. Did you really just say you have 71 years of fishing expense? I was fishing when I was an elephant son. He was crawling out. Hey, Phil said he didn't wear clothes till he was like 14. 14 years. This man won this man won the lottery at 64. True. To be fair. Duck Dynasty. He was. I like it. But he ain't lucky. I like you. But he ain't lucky. No, I'm not. You're highly favored. Oh no, no. Yes, I am by the almighty. Amen. That's true. I give you that.

Most people associate that with luck. Well, I know. So we can agree that you are in fact highly favored. You're not lucky. Highly favored. Highly. Highly. Highly.

Highly. Okay. So you're lucky. Yeah. No, I'm not lucky. Don't hit me. We're going through a semantical argument. I know you.

And you're going to feel it. You'll feel the pain. I'm trying to find us some news articles, but they're all just so depressing. Well, good. You know what? We got time to do it in the next break. Let's take that. Take a break, right after that.

And that, Martin, do I got a story? Well, look up the difference between lucky and blessed. Well, I found one, all I found was one news article. Everything else was depressing me. All right. But this one gets me excited. Okay, don't get a depressing one. No.

I want the other one. The Saints won. That's not depressing. Hey. Yes, they did. And Mr. Man, who sent in that email. In your face, baby. That's right.

I'll talk about that all day. but what I want to talk about is what's happening in our nation's capital right now. What's happening? It's very serious news. Five zebras are on the loose. Zebras? Zebras? You can't ride them.

There are zebras on the loose in Maryland. You can ride a zebra. What about the giraffe? He said, that's what I want to ride. There's five zebras. Well, hey, look. So that was five days ago. One for each of you.

Zebras are on the loose. And then three days ago, we got a suspect of who loose. Wait a, D.C. Congresswoman, bizarrely denies letting zebras loose. So one of our Congress ladies... I think it's a local congressperson. The mighty zebra. Hey, you got work to do.

Leave the zebras alone. And also some zebras. The zebras are legal, but they were let loose on it. Last week, and she says she has an alibi, but nobody really knows. But it is understandable that she is one of the culpable

that she is one of the culpable. Okay. The fine should be at least $300,000. So she was, what she's saying is she was there, she just didn't open the gate. That's what it sounds like. But she hopes the owners. That's what I get. Here's, she made a statement. I hope the owners find the zebras and that they all involved live long, full lives. Yeah, well, their chance went significantly down when you let them out of their pants. Hold on. Do you think five zebras could become?

wild zebras and become like an animal we have in America? No. No. Like they start making new zebras? Yeah, 10 zebras. And then there's baby zebras. And then my grandkids children look up and there's wild zebras. There's wild zebras out there.

Running around Maryland. They do. I'm applying for a zebra tag. I don't think I can shoot a zebra tag. You'd only trade it for getting unstuck somewhere. Yeah. It's like an ugly horse. I will trade you five zebras for one.

One, giraffe. No. Draffs are cooler. Well, to the good folks in Maryland, if you see these zebras, don't eat them. Number one, take a picture and send it to me because that's incredible. And I want to see zebras on the loose. And number two, call the authorities. And if you see any zebra cakes on the loose, send them in this one.

Nope, no, I'm not eating this. Yeah, send them on. I'm on a nose zebra cake. You're right. Zebrose. I said this way, not that way. That'd be zebra. You can still.

send those, but I will not partake. Little Zebrose cake. If Stone sees me eating a zebra cake, he'll hurt me even worse. I'm very tired of us. Well, this would be the safest place to eat it because he ain't going to watch his podcast. That's true. This is what our congressmen and congress ladies are up to. Do we have any?

They're phoenix. I got nothing else. Everything else is sad. Dizarre. Everything else is not fun. It's like, we're the news. We need some good news. If only someone had some good news.

I do have some good news. Well, give us something good. Now, this is really good. We rehearsed that. Yeah, here we go. So when Sai was in Oklahoma, Sai gave a fiery testimony. It was, I think the, what was the,

4th of July? Yep, 4th of July weekend. So anyway, it was awesome. There were a lot of people there, and we got a message from our good friend Matt Kessner, and Matt said, Philip, this guy was at the event, and,

his friend Chad Guthrie has cancer and is dying from it. You know, it's a really bad situation. And they want Uncle Si to say a prayer for him, you know. So me and Si are sitting down like we do. I hear that ice chewing up. It's good tea. Me and I. We're sitting down at the poker table in his kitchen that's supposed to be a kitchen table.

And his wife said you can never have a poker table in here, so that's where we're sitting. Yeah. And we're going over different. events that sye has and so i read this to sye about the young man who is uh who is diagnosed with cancer and sys says you know what he said let's send him a video so i could you mind if i play the video that's fine all right i'm going to play it over the over the speaker so this is our this is our friend chad who is uh getting the video hey chad i heard that you're a duck hunter man 1500 ain't nothing sneezed dude you need to tell me about what kind of duck

You got flooded timber, rice fields, what, you know. Hey, next time we go there, maybe he can take us on. Yeah. But hey, look, I heard you got diagnosed with a counselor, hey, look, me and Philip will take you into the throne room, the Almighty and mint your name personally to the Almighty and ask him to, you know, keep it down to a minimum of maybe get rid of it. If he wants to, he can use the doctors or he can just do it his way.

Okay, but we will be praying for you, man. Yeah. That's what you. So, so I sent that video or we sent it to him and then I don't know

it was maybe a few weeks later we get a text I get a text on my phone from Matt and it's talking about Chad and it says thank y'all appreciate you so much for praying for him and so we're thinking the worst and yeah I'm thinking

oh man yeah you know and at the end it says he's completely healed he's got no more cancer things are going great just want to say thank y'all for you know taking him into the throne room of

the almighty and asking to remove it which there's nothing in the prayer that me and sigh did but it's the power of God that lifted him up and it's just a great report you know that God is almighty is doing what he does

yep so Chad go through we are so thankful that you have that God has spared you and brought you out of this. And I appreciate you taking time for fans like you do to say prayers and stuff like that. And that's not the first time this does happen. I mean, I know we've, it's happened to other times as well. That's the best part of it, okay, is that, you know, that's why I tell people all the time. I said, the show Duck Dynasty, the thing that was most important from the show that I've got,

is it strength in my faith that God, the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit are alive and well and doing the most amazing things with the most unlikely people. Yours truly. That's pretty awesome. No, no, and it's honor and privilege just to be part of it. That's pretty awesome. Yeah. It never gets old here in about answering prayers.

No matter what the prayer is. It could be a broken finger. A new job. Or, you know. Or, I'm taking cancer. Cancer gone. Yeah. That's unbelievable.

And the doctors are scratching their heads. Yeah. Yeah. And I hate to say that I was thinking the worst, you know, because that's just my human nature saying, you know. How can you not in the world we live in a day? I mean, there's people dying every day from cancer. Yeah. You know, so that's incredible.

Maybe one day's days we'll have someone come up with the cure. I do like how Sigh led in to the cancer prayer with asking him about his duck on. In case everything works out. Old habits die hard. No, no. Hey, no, no, that. He's healed. So now I'm next time I'll talk to him and say, hey.

Hey, what about that duck on? Yeah, word of the invitation there, bro. He prayed a little harder for this man. Just a little. That's a little. That's fantastic. That's probably. That's probably right.

Old habits die hard. Yeah, we're going to pray for. about that duck hole uh that lord let's get this duck haul ready the duck hole ready for say hey put the invitation in the mail all i'm saying is god can do whatever he wants so he clearly wants us to go duck hunting in ok well of course you let's do it well hey feel had the same thing happen okay except it was the reverse rope he said hey if the almighty lifts you up you and a couple of your buddies can come and hunt duck hunt with me yeah yeah i don't know if the the guys have heard this story, and they may have,

but tell him where Phil was at when he got the phone call. Okay, look, Phil, this was back before Duck Dynasty. Phil's going to Memphis, Tennessee, to a shot show in Memphis, Tennessee, and he's going up there to sell his duck calls. So he's on, I think, Interstate 40, going toward Memphis, and the phone, his truck phone rings, and there's a lady on the other end and says, you don't know me, Mr. Robertson, but my name is Susan or whatever, and I'm in St. Jude's Children Hospital of my son,

who was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Is there any way you could say a prayer for him, you know? Now, you've got to think about the timing on this. He's running about 70, okay, down in the States, and on the phone with this lady who's talking about his son that's got stage four cancer, and he said, ma'am do you happen to know what exit St. Jesus Children Hospital is on?

And she says, yes, exit five. Well, guess what Phil's looking at when she says this? Exit six. Exit five. Oh, man. God, that's so good. No, no. Hey, exit five, St. Gilbert Hospital.

He's said, man, what room are you and your son in? Y'all said, they tell him. And he said, I'll be there about five minutes. So he goes up there And, you know, the kids, you can't even see his face For all the medical junk, you know, and barely manages to smile But he tells Phil, you know, Mr. Robertson, I love your hunting videos And all this, and I would love to go duck hunting with you?

You know, and his mom said, well, would you mind saying prayer and fist? Did you, I be honored to? So he does. He leaves. Go does the shot, Joe, and really don't think anything else about it, you know. That's that old duck's unlimited. that show. Yeah.

So anyway, hey, two years later, he's in Memphis again for the show does a shot show. Okay, and this kid walks up

and says, Mr. Robson, you remember me? You know, Phil looks up and says, no, son, I can't say that. And the boy started laughing.

And he said, well, I looked a little a little bit different than that hospital bed, you know. And Phil looks up and said, well,

it looked like the Almighty has lifted you up, son. And he said, yes, he did. And Phil said, I guess you want

your duck hunt, huh? And the kid said, yes, sir, I do. You're looking to collect, that you? So look, we hadn't meant, this was the first split. We ain't killed nothing, you know, been a bad year. And Phil had told him how he'd come to the second split. So him and his two of his buddies show up and hunt with us like Friday, Saturday and Sunday,

the full limit for three days. You know, Phil said, hey, son, this is a pretty good deal. Here, it's a win-win situation. You know, you get your cancer taken away. You come down here, we ain't killed a duck in three, weeks y'all and he said then we get full limits for three days he said that's pretty good deal but y'all it's just one of the things again god doing what he's doing amen yeah which was cool and somebody that he put the opportunity there that didn't let the opportunity pass them so pretty cool

that's awesome well let's take our last break we'll be back right after this all right we're back and we're back here we go it's the fan section it's the fan section it's the fan section We're getting in the mailbox, boy. What mailbox is it, sir? I got you. For the podcast. For the podcast. It is hello, H-E-L-L-O at duckcallroom.com.

And Johnny D. is the keeper of said mailbox. I'm the keeper of the mailbox. Well, after Willie did his impression of the Irish folks, I'm not going to do an impression of the British folks. Because they said it was the worst impression they've ever heard. They've ever heard. And Willie's pretty good. Not that day. This is from Gary.

He's from England or Great Britain. I just don't understand how many countries are in that country. Too many countries in that country. He's got two questions. One is incredibly serious. And one, I'm really confused about. How do you get on the path of the Bible? I'm not religious, but what you say in the duck call room makes more sense at the moment

than all the things that is going on in this world. We are the ones making sense, boys. And so he's asking how to get on the path of the Bible. That's kind of a broad scope. Phil, do you want to hit them with it real quick? I'd love to. You know, this shirt right here, it actually shows where God became flesh

and died on the cross to pay for our sins, was buried and raised three days later. And look, he goes back up into heaven. to mediate for his children and he's coming back. That is the hub of the entire Bible. Everything before pointed to the cross and everything afterward pointed back toward the cross. So we're 2000, we keep our time and our date,

201 years away from an event that was awesome. And that was this event. God becoming flesh, his death, baring resurrection on the cross. to rescue and bring back his children. So I would say, yeah, this is what it's about. That's pretty well the crux of it. That would be what Paul calls the first importance. He's done four things, okay?

He don't have one thing left to do. Come on back. That's come back and get his people. And I'm ready for that. And best believe we are already. Gary's right, because not a lot is making sense. We was actually discussing. this this morning in the duck

bomb. In the duck bomb. Because Jason Saturday or Sunday went to church and said okay man I really enjoyed the guy's sermon about what heaven's going to be like. You know he gave his slant of what he thinks heaven and then we started talking about this morning. You got to think about it. We're going to be

okay interdimensional travelers. I like that. Okay. I don't even know what that means. No, no, no, because you got to think about it, okay. God created all this, okay? And we're going to become eternal beings. I like that.

Okay, so we're going to be just like God is. He's outside of time, okay? If you're living for an eternity, okay, there is no time. So, you know, God created this. There was nothing in the beginning. Well, he speaks it into existence. You talk about voice command. There's voice command.

That's my military training coming in there. Xfinity, eat your heart out. Oh, yeah. But anyway, this thing is still expanding. And look, we only see a speck of what he's created. So we may spend eternity, okay, going to all the rest of what he's created. So since there's going to be no time, is there any reason to have a Rolex? No.

Hey. Sorry, Johnny Dey. It was shining at me while you were rubbing your head. No, no. Oh, we can get rid of this baby here because we're not going to need it. Thank you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Johnny Dee.

It was just staring at me when you were rubbing your head. I hope there's a queen size bed in heaven for me. I got him with my instrumental. That was Gary. That was Gary. I like the question. Yeah, Gary. And, you know, I would say go buy you a book.

It's called the Bible. And don't start in a weird. Start in Matthew is what I would say. Or John. Those are the two books I would read. You can go back and get the history lesson later. You can go back and get the genealogy later. Hey, Gary, here's the question for you.

Or, Gary, you can check out unashamed. Oh, yeah. They'll hit you in the face down there. Yeah. Yeah. With a little bit of the gospel. We sneak it in. Hey, but here's a challenge for you.

We're very much a soft sale. I gave this to a buddy of mine in the military. Okay, me and him are doing Bible study. Okay, and he said, oh, good grief. Oh, man, I've read that book from cover to cover four or five times. He said, it's a classic. You know, I kind of scratch my head on that. I said, I've heard the Bible call a lot of things.

A classic? But classic ain't one of them. That in Huckleberry Finn. But, hey, here's my challenge to you. I challenge you, okay. to find any question you want to get the answer to, and I guarantee you, God's covered it in his Bible.

And keep in mind that nothing came, this isn't just a story, but the prophets got this from God and wrote it as they were instructed. All scriptures God breathed and is useful for teaching, training, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped. Well, here's the deal. Speaking of thoroughly equipped, look at you go, Phil. From Genesis to Malachi, Jesus is coming.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Jesus is here. Then the rest of it is about, okay, what's going to happen afterwards? He's coming back. He's coming back. He's coming. He's here. And guess what? So what's the not serious question?

So Gary, then ask, because he's from England slash great Britain slash whatever all that is. What's your favorite? And he spells it with you because he's from England. English food. What's an English food? A muffin. He said you must.

An English muffin. Okay. But they're kind of a guard. English peas? No, that's a mega going. What's English? No, no. Do they have their own food?

I've never heard of English. A bagel. A bagel. A bagel. That's not English. Is it? It may be. But that's Gary.

Gary, thanks for the email. Yeah, thanks. There you go, Jew. We're going to type for one more? Yeah. This one piggybacks on Gary. It's. Lane from Grand Junction, Colorado.

Okay. Junction. Biggest junction in all the land. It's grand. It's a very grand junction. He says thanks to us for the show. And he's trying to be, they're learning true thankfulness because they're going through some challenges. But he's wondering everybody's opinion on how to choose a church congregation

when looking for a church, they've been struggling to find a place to attend regularly. Tear it off, sign. That's a good question. That kind of goes back, because I was going to say to Gary, find a church. But that's not easy. No.

But find a church is a great way for Gary to figure out his question. But Lane's question is, how do you find a church? I would say on that, a variety is the spice of life. you'll know when you walk in if it's for you or not most of the time and just go to a bunch of them though don't go to the first one

be like man that church was awful and then give up on a church just keep you may have to you may have to drive 20 30 minutes I don't you know lane don't don't be afraid of that but you'll know whenever you get there like I've been in a lot of places

and I mean some of them you walk in and you're like yeah this is going to be all right you know so just keep going. By all means, don't let the two in your town. I don't know nothing about Grand Jocke's in Colorado, but I'm sure there's another place close to you. In First Estolanians, Paul says,

test everything and hold fast to what is good. So you can test them all out like Martin's saying, but you'll know. You'll know what's good and what's bad, and test it against the Bible. You can read. You can read it yourself and go, ah, but, you know, as long as you're looking,

I love it. Hey, you can test out 20 places on a Sunday these days because they all on Facebook. I was by saying, in today's world, they're laying there online. You can go watch three services to go see if that would be the place for you. You can figure it out. I mean, like, it's there.

It's readily available for you today like it never has been in the past. And I will tell you that, I'm quoting a verse, and without faith, it's impossible to please God, because, let's see, without faith, it's impossible to please God because, um, I got to read it now, John David. Oh, you were, I thought you had it.

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Because those who, because those who, look at Hebrews 116. Well, you knew where it was. So that's, there. I must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Who diligently sacred. Yeah.

Ding, ding, ding. So, so that just tells me, that tells me if, if I'm really seeking and trying to find that God, one of his promises is that he's going to reward me. Well, here's my deal on this, okay. What is their their doctrine or

creed? What is it that they stand on? Okay, and they're never getting, and that's on that church you're wearing. Okay? Because when it gets right down to it, that's the core of what the Bible

is far and about. Amen. That, hey, that God became flesh. He willingly went and died on the cross for things I do wrong and you do wrong. He has never done any wrong himself ever. Okay. They buried him.

They killed him. They buried him. And he rose from the dead. Okay. And all this was done, okay, for your benefit. Yeah. So that's the thing that, is the meat of your your search.

Amen. I agree. Hey, I like that. We just kind of went full unashamed email section. Y'all didn't know we were a little bit of preachers ourselves, boys. I'm sure. I'm sure when Phil watches this, he'll critique us.

Oh, for sure. But. And he'll put our, he'll pouring out our flaws. Yeah. Hey, well. Hey, you know what I noticed today? Oh, Phil McMillan got a couple verses.

up in that head of his. Send us home, Phil. So send us home, Phil. But, you know, I'm going to have to look this one up. But I do have a good one for us today. It is John 14, 13, and 14. Godly, I could read that from the moon. He got bad eyes.

Hey, Mr. Martin. He got a big prince. So I ring the bell on him. And I will do whatever you ask in my name so that the father may be glorified in the son. you may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it. Jesus said that.

That's John 14, 13, and 14. That's good news, too. I did ring a bell with me. Yep, yep. That's how you had it. Ding, dang, boy. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. Peace on.
