We do try to go in there and check them out from time to time. Be kind. Not to us. I'm just saying to each other, really. Be nice to each other. Yeah, but that's the internet.
Starting point is 00:04:58 So, anyway, I don't know. We're back after a long weekend. kind of a big week last week. What happened? Oh. Yeah. The monkeys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Oh, what? The monkeys. Sir, have you not seen the news? That's a weird way to talk. Wait. Are you talking about actual monkeys? Yeah. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Forty-three monkeys have escaped. Monkeys? What? What did they escape from? Microphone. Yeah. South Carolina. Where did they escape from?
Starting point is 00:05:30 South Carolina they had this testing facility where they were apparently running some test on some monkeys and the monkeys said forget about it. Good for the monkeys, man. And so now we've got 43 super monkeys running loose in South Carolina. I've seen that movie.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Yeah. And there's only one, they've only caught one of them. Is there one big one? I don't know. Yeah. You better go check the Empire State building for him, right? But they have literally, there's four, how are we supposed to go on as a country when we got monkeys on the loose we got politicians in dc what's a difference yeah in fact i mean i trust the monkeys like they're probably just out there doing what the good lord intended them i don't blame the monkeys yeah the problem is these are like what if these are like
Starting point is 00:06:20 superhero monkeys then that's awesome hey you know you got a good point what's that i i'd trust a monkey over a politician any day of the week at least you know they're just that monkey he ain't gonna lie to to your face. Well, hey, you heard it here for it. No, he may come take your Christmas tree cake donut out your hand,
Starting point is 00:06:38 but that's about where it ends, you know. That's as rude as he's going to be to you. He'll pick a couple, pick a couple bugs out of your hair. Hey, he's transparent is what we're trying to say. But for real,
Starting point is 00:06:49 though, there's monkey, there's legitimately. What do you get? We legitimately have, apparently they've, since yesterday, they've caught 18 more of them. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:59 But there's legitimately 25, monkeys on the loose in South Carolina. Well, what were they tested? That's the question. Oh, but they seem to be quick to be gathering. So what's the rule on the monkeys? Like if you see one, because it's hunting season. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:16 So like old redneck's out there, the corn feeder, and here comes a monkey. You know, here comes a monkey. So I need a bite of that corn or maybe a scoop of that rice brand or something. Anyone who spots one of the monkeys is asked to call 911 immediately. They should not approach any of that. of the animal. I'm telling you. These monkeys.
Starting point is 00:07:34 See, that don't sound good. Escape from a lab. Yeah, they escape from a lab. Yeah, that don't sound good. So we're killing squirrels and letting monkeys out. Yeah. That's where we're at as a country. That's what we're at in this country.
Starting point is 00:07:47 We're killing squirrels. You break into a man's house and kill his pet squirrel. Yeah, and now. And now we've got a bunch of monkeys. They claim all the animals are in good health that escaped. Well, yeah, they survived whatever they gave. them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I agree. Also, the name of the place is Alpha Genesis. If this isn't a movie that starts off with monkeys escaping and then ruling the world shortly there afterwards, I don't know what it is. Well, they escape from a place called Alpha Genesis. Yeah. We're in trouble. Alpha.
Starting point is 00:08:18 If I was in South Carolina, I'd move immediately. The Alpha Genesis loosely translated as like new beginning. Mm-hmm. Yeah. The monkeys. They're world order. I'm pretty sure this is the exact plot. I think they've done a movie on that little theory.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Yeah. Yeah, I think it is. If the next one, if some Skeeter and some amber gets out, we're in trouble. Because then we're going to have Triceratops. Let's go to something more positive boys. No, this ain't nothing negative about this. How did they get out? Do they know?
Starting point is 00:08:52 They broke out. Legitimately, one of them broke out. Oh, hey, they broke out. I don't blame them. And let the rest of them. Let the rest of them out. Let the rest of them out. Guys, we're getting out of here and we're getting out of there today.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I'm on team monkey, man. I'm against it. I think we need to shoot them all in case they have superpowers, but... Hey, fight the oppression monkeys. I like it, man. I do like the fact that they just started opening up doors for everybody on their way. And I kind of think a wild population of monkeys in the U.S. isn't a terrible thing. Hey, that would be, hey, that'd be pretty good.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Lavin up your deer hunt a little bit. Yeah. I mean, you ever heard of him? Oh, boy. Try to be a coon, coon hunter. Well, no, you can't do that. What? You can't do that?
Starting point is 00:09:39 They'll come in and kill it. Did we learn anything from the squirrel? Yeah, if you're not allowed to have a squirrel as a pet, if you get one of these monkeys, they're coming for you. What happened? They killed that pet squirrel in the state, the government. Yeah. Can't have a pet squirrels time.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Come into a man's house, took his squirrel out, killed him. Where? And his raccoon. In New York. In New York. New York, no. You can't be having pet squirrel in New York. I just don't go together.
Starting point is 00:10:08 I just don't go together. 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 Triedale's beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good?
Starting point is 00:10:28 It's so good. Our friend, Cy 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 Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritels comes from a family ranch out in Texas.
Starting point is 00:10:51 They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living,
Starting point is 00:11:14 you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat, either, folks. Yeah. Just go to Tribesies. beef.com slash that's trybeef.com slash
Starting point is 00:11:34 support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Oh man. Well, the monkeys are on the loose. I hope they catch them maybe. I'm rooting for the monkey, man. Go monkey. That's what I. You know, I'm a go, monkey. Go monkey, go. Dan saw a monkey on field's property. Dan saw the monkey. Yeah. What he saw it? I saw it. I saw it yesterday. I saw it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:11:59 It was a potsom. A black possum with a white face. Dressed as a monkey. Yeah. Possum dressed as a monkey. He did. If you've seen him up a tree and eat psalmins, you would think it was a monkey.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Okay, because he's black and his face is white. Yeah, but I mean, he's still. Hey, and he was eating all the, he was eating the, what is? Rice brand. Rice brand. Oh, yeah. Possums love rice bran branes. Yeah, they love them.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah, they love it. I got one in my backyard or mom's backyard that comes, eats a rice bran every night. I actually went deer hunting yesterday. Did you? Yeah, we saw three deer. Okay. A hawk.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Okay. And a possum. And tons of redbirds. Cardinals. Yeah. They on the move. Oh, they, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:47 that's one of the prettiest birds there is. Especially in the morning at daylight on the sun shining. Mm-hmm. I looked over there in the bushes and there must have been 25 of them. Okay. all bright red. All males. Yeah, it looked like a Christmas tree lit up over there in the brush.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It was really pretty. There you go. So no deer, though. The deer wasn't moving. They wasn't moving. We were after that same old buck. I hunted him all year last year. And he's going around whipping everybody and breaking their handles off.
Starting point is 00:13:22 And he still. And him and the girls, you all go to the Bahamas a week. So, hey. And he still. clicking you. Oh, he's slicking. He's slicking. He's slicking me so far.
Starting point is 00:13:33 But I'll hunt him all season this year. Well, I think we'll get him. But the rule is, if I see him, if it's 100 yards or 1,000 yards, that's the scope to 1,000 yards, and I'm going to pop it. Seems doable. When he told me that, I said, well, let's go practice. And he said, no, I don't need no practice. He's a gamer, son.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Just give him the ball. Oh, no. Hey. Just give him the ball. If he shows up, range him, set the scope, and then let me kill it. So I said, put me in, coat. What's that? Put me in.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Hey, I like being under pressure. Yeah, put me in, coat. I function great under pressure. Yeah, you have a lot of it in your life. Oh, yeah. What is the most pressure? What is the most pressure you have in your life now? I'm actually curious about that.
Starting point is 00:14:24 No, no, that's why I sleep a lot, okay. Sleep, release pressure. Oh, okay. What pressure are you under? Hey. Oh, you over it. You wouldn't know if I told you. You wouldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:14:33 If I told you, you wouldn't believe it. I'd crack just hearing about it. That'd probably put you in the Loonie Band. Yeah, man, enough to even hear about his problems. It's like that movie, talking about it's all the voices. I can't tell you the truth because you can't handle the truth. I bet there is a lot going on up there. I'm still rooting for the monkeys.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I can't get past that thought in my head. Unbelievable. Just a wild population of monkeys right now. That'd be tight. Yeah, that'd be awesome. It would be weird. Well, I'm almost done with that duck blind. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:15:05 There you go. Well, it opened. It opened Saturday. I know. No time like the present. Oh, it opens Saturday? I told you, last time I was here, I couldn't get any help. The Buck Boys no help?
Starting point is 00:15:16 No, I got a report on that. One of the Buckboys showed up to help. One day for about two hours. Well, see, they're like manager G. Crabbs. What? Who? Y'all don't know who.

Uh, the many loves of Dobie Gills, which aired from CBS from 1959 to 1963 is what size talking about. That's what I grew up with. Yeah, well,
Starting point is 00:16:32 that would put you from 11 to 15. Yeah, that was right in your prime. Oh, yeah. There you go. And you're still 14, so you've been watching it a long time.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Hey, I'm telling you. I feel like I'm in a rut. That's all that stress. That's what's stressful, J.D. You try to be in 14, 76-year-old body.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I'm not about stress, so. Which buck boy showed up to help you out, Oh, that was old Parker. Oh, okay. Oh, Parker. The Parker showed up. Oh, he showed up.
Starting point is 00:17:07 He dug about four holes with post hole there. Okay. A little porous and a little sack create in there. Okay. Where did you put the blind? On the elbow. On the elbow? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:17 It's two-sided. Two-sided? Oh, yeah. Oh, you can hunt either side. That's right. You can hunt 11 men in there if you want to. Levin men? Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:17:26 I know what? one of them see-through blinds no oh that ain't one of them oh we're we're beyond the see-three blind we're not we like a little more comfort than that we're going to have a roof halls and a floor there you go that means you and jace can be way away from each other yeah well i'm in the middle you know jace is always on the end but sounds like there's about four different ends to this blind the far end oh yeah but they'd never let me on the end There's three corners on this one. Oh, three corners.
Starting point is 00:18:00 There you go. You could be the tip of the triangle, sir. Okay. Hey, I, sharp as I am, I need to be the spear. There. That was. Hey, there he is. Especially when I got that 20 gauge in my hand.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I'm trying to picture a three-corner duck bind. It looks like a A. It's an L. A frame. Or a V or however. L. L. Yeah, any kind of letters there.
Starting point is 00:18:26 That's real nice. That's good. I think we're stressing comfort over killing these days. Is that, look, that day ain't realized what it's all about yet. It ain't about to kill it. About the fellowship and being out in God's creation.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, making memories. Make it. Most of the memories I hear from down there, are y'all fighting with Jace? No, I wasn't a fight. I thought we was going to go to. 50 cuffs, though. No, just verbal.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Over a duck. Yeah. Over a duck, no less. Verbal altercation. Verbal sparring. Yeah. I ain't ever heard no meat get to popping down there. No.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Oh, yeah, no. It just. We've come close. A bunch of silliness. It's all boils down to finding out who's fault it is. Assessing the blame. They blamed it on me and that's been
Starting point is 00:19:20 a story of my life. And then never. That's a lot of the stress. Okay. Never. They blame for everything. Never. admitting any kind of wrongdoing, our mistakes.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I mean, how would you like to grow up with a family that we all hunt all our life? Okay. And according to the family, I've never killed nothing. No. You know, when the truth of the matter is, I kill everything. But he always seems to kill him when he comes with me. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, I'll kill him every time I go.
Starting point is 00:19:51 You know, that's why I like hunting with the idiots that are family. because I love being in a blind and people all of them are saying no you didn't see that and they're talking about me they're telling me what I see with my eyes and then they even get stupider then they go and say
Starting point is 00:20:15 no you didn't kill that duck that'd be what I shot with my shotgun that's when you break out that boo on them no that's when I just bust out laughing and said hey look if it wasn't for me you boys would never have ducking dressing it's starving of that 20 gays barks something guys that's it every time yeah every time get them buddy that's it every time there's been a lot of a lot of that over the years well it's pretty funny when you go back and think about it oh because you got phil and jace on each end
Starting point is 00:20:53 and their space is wide open. Baud over. Baud of it, no, hardly any brush. And then you look at the middle of the blind, and there's brush piled up where you can't even see over it. I literally, yeah, I mean, this is true. I literally make enough room just to stick the barrel of my gun out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Because I've got a tree piled up where I stand. Mm-hmm. Because I stand up. And if you pop up. One limp. Get down, you're flurring. Get down, you flurring. Get down, you flare.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I said, hey, look, whenever you cover up that mansion you got open on the end down there, I'll think about getting down. I said, Duck can't even see my gun barrel. You ain't ever flared a duck. No. No, he's too stiff. I heard Phil one time say he wore a shirt, duck hunt one day, about to color that one you wear it.
Starting point is 00:21:57 light graves, light gray. It was because I remember Jason, I guess, I guess the camouflage is out now, right? Oh, yeah. Jason, that's what he said. He said, I guess camouflage is optional these days. He's optional these days.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And Phil said, do what? He says, where's your camouflage? He said, what are you talking about? He said, you're going to flare them with that. Phil said, I don't flare ducks. Never. Ever. Ever.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Yeah. Oh, man. It's like at opening day I showed up, feels in red plaid. Oh, yeah. Hmm. I said, when did you become a lumberjack? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:40 He said, what are you talking about? All bunion. I said, all bunion, boys. Flannel shirt you got on. Yeah. He said, oh, I got camo under here. Yeah. I'm like, I think we got this backwards.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Like, I think the flannel needs to be under, and the camo needs to be on top. But, hey, man, he's old. It's his place you do whatever you know. They've never learned. That's what gets me. I've hung with his guy's 50 years. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And they've never learned. Hey, y'all. Just don't move. Movement is what the ducks see. There you go. As long as you're standing up and you got your hat like I've got mine on and I never, I never raise it any further. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:24 One of these, that's what they see. We call it rubbernecking. So if I just sit still, they won't see me. Hey. Look, I've been in a duck blind before it gets daylight right when it's starting to get daylight. And you would think the blind was on fire because there is a flame coming out over the porch. Right now. And it's light everywhere, okay?
Starting point is 00:23:57 It lights the decoys up. Yeah. Watching computer. 40 miles just in the decoys. Couldn't shoot them because it wasn't legal. But they came in with that flame. Because think about it, all the boughs up in North Louisiana, they got pipes sticking up with fire flaming that up in the middle of the boughs, everywhere.
Starting point is 00:24:21 There you go. I did one time I went on a trip with Jast of Kansas head and my bonfire. built on the river bank where he was hunting the river. Oh, no, yeah. And it was about to get legal. I mean, he had a raging. Just a roaring ball blaze. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 00:24:35 Then he looked at me and he said, you need to take that headlight off your head. You're going to flare something with that. He's got a signal fire going. Yeah. I'm talking about on top of the mountain. But according to you, they don't flare off fire. They don't fly off.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I'm telling you, I've had 50 mallards last. in the decoy and you would have thought the blind was on fire. I'm talking about flame shooting up 10 foot in the air. What? So we had a blaze going because, hey, guess what I built the fire? Yeah. Charco and then, hey, about a half a pint of charcoal lighter. Woof!
Starting point is 00:25:16 Two things are about size wood, buddy. They don't go dark and you ain't going to be cold. No, you ain't going to be cold. Oh. Look, if you, if you, my man's always got a flashlight and a fire. No, no, because look, if you went, because okay, we're in Moss Lake. That was back when Phil and them were drinking. They was drunk.
Starting point is 00:25:38 No. And there was eight or ten of them. No. Hold on. Hold on. Are you a part of this day? Oh, no, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Like, hey, no. No, no, look. Phil and them were drinking, they was drunk, and it was eight or ten of us. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, because look, you got to think about it. We got a big boat, okay. Then we got a 12-foot little old little, little bit of aluminum, light aluminum boat.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Okay, field and like six or eight of them get in one boat. Well, he sends four to get in with me in the little boat. And hey, all these boys are rocking about 250 to 300 pounds. So me. Yeah. So every time they stepped in it, I look. you know it going down when they all got in i got a freeboard about a inch oh gosh hey guys look hey a couple of you get out i'm what you know because i'm not going to
Starting point is 00:26:37 make it to the brook brush to get to the lake to get to blind and feel so that's it all right there and how he goes what he say oh he can't get 20s he was drinking yeah he was drinking it don't matter yeah he said something i figured i'd drink it in the buck brush. Yeah. Now, we got out of, and when I hit that old lake, I had a little five-horse motor on that 12-foot, okay? Well, hey, I had it.
Starting point is 00:27:07 My neighbor was breaking it, keep it stodles down. Well, it didn't work. You'll tell you, once I got out in Clearwater, it starts speeded up. And the next time, though, I'm sitting down, and I got both hands holding the motor I get, and there's a stampede coming toward me from the front because we're going down. It kind of sounds like a weight and balance. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:32 So, hey, look, I didn't even get up. I knew how deep the lake was because I had bass fish waiting. Yep, but that's it deep. I just, water started coming in. Oh, man. I'm like it right here. Look, it was 18 degrees with a 35 mile northwest wind. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Ice over. Was it ice? Oh, not in that river. I'm sitting at the bottom of the lake. The boat lay it on the bottom, but I'm just sitting there. Phil was yelling, stand up, stand up. The blind, we sunk right in front of the blind. Right on the outside of the decoys.
Starting point is 00:28:19 they was all thrashing around you know he finally got them stand up they all walked up and climbed up the ladder i pulled the stupid boat in the woods tied it up sunk yeah climbed up the ladder and hey from before daylight to two o'clock i was inside the blind okay everything is damp every kind of We've got 10 boxes of shells, empty boxes laying everywhere. And I never could get a fire going. All I could get was smoke. And I literally dried out after about eight to ten hours, just in there where you, you know, hey, I probably sucked in more smoked
Starting point is 00:29:09 than I smoked my, you know, I smoked for 20 years. I probably had more smoke in me that day than I've ever had. Because I stayed in there like, eight hours just owes of smoke, but I got dry, they got warm. You come out there looking like a piece of jerky, huh? I'm telling you. How much soot was on your glasses? Oh, hey.
Starting point is 00:29:30 I was solid black. No, no, I'm solid black. I'm serious. My face was odd. Well, we didn't do face paint. My face was black. My clothes were black, and I smelled like a fire. Well, good news.
Starting point is 00:29:42 They don't wear face paint anymore, either. So you ain't got to worry about that anymore. Is face paint out? That's out. It was always pretty messy. Everything is optional, these ways. Loading your gun. Optional.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Who's not loading your gun? It don't make you doing it. Hey, Dan, he'll kill nothing anyway. I beg the differ. And friend. So I get tickled when he gets talking that trash. Oh, no, no. The one says they're going to kill them.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Hold on. Here's the best one that never was. Okay. First week. We have two good huts. Two good ones. We looked up. Here comes a bunch of green winged tail.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Hey, Cicke. Yo, Jayce calls them. They come by, you know. They come by the second time. The third time, they come in there. I just raised up, and I said, boom, boom, boom, yo. And everybody gets to run in the mouth and tell about what they killed. I said, well, I was three for three boys.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Well, they all start busted out laughing. And I said, what's so funny? And he said, well, what you didn't know, he said, you didn't kill nothing. Did they put blanks in? No, no. Yeah. And I said, I said, well, you. talking about. He said, because, hey, we put three blanks in your gun. I said, see, that's where you boys
Starting point is 00:30:55 just don't understand how good I really am. I said, y'all took the shot out of my shells, and I said, I just killed three green winged till flying with the wadden. Is that a true story? That's a true story. Did they do, who took the, who put the blanks in your gun? Hey, they said they put it in there, and I just had to tell them. I said, well, that really happened. I hate to hurt y'all's feelings. I said, but hey, I kill three for three. And I said, you know, Stone will tell you, because he had to clean him and he took three wadens out of the chest of teal.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Stone will tell. He's not denying it. He also ain't confirming it. That's a good story. Stone trying to figure out where he's staying on a moral scale on that one. Oh, no. Do I tear the whole man's hopes and dreams? Oh, I love one.
Starting point is 00:31:48 I love hunting with them, boys. They never win. They always run their mouth, but they never win. They ain't good enough. That sounds like LSU. They can't Tommy Topper, baby, boys. You ain't going to top it. If time travels a thing, I'm going back.
Starting point is 00:32:07 We're going hunting in like 1960. I'm going with you. Just one time. Not the day you sunk the boat, though. I'm going to miss that one. Oh, no, no, look, that was a reoccurring theme. breaking the law or both thing. Hey, you cannot talk to a drunk person.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Okay. Yeah. He's bad enough to talk to when he's sober. I'm going to go with guilty on both of them. Trying to talk to the drunk person and then also being a drunk person. I'm going to say I'm guilty on both the camps. Well, hey, I've been there. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Oh, yeah. Guilty. Yeah. I know exactly where you're talking about. No. That's a tough one. Boy, you 10 foot tall and. blueprint.
Starting point is 00:32:52 What are you talking about? No at all, too, buddy. You know what Phil was. If he's going to do something, he's going to do it all the way. Oh, no. Now, he's all in. Yeah. And I guess that went for drinking, too.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Oh, no. Well, see, hey, y'all didn't know. You know, you didn't want to, you know, if you've ever got knickered or tricked into going over the land. Look, it won't be about 15 minutes. Take about 15 minutes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Now, like when he bass fish, it used to be, hey, 4.30 in the morning in the boat at the ramp and, hey, it'd be slam dock when they come back in. It all day long. That's called not having anything to do. No, no. That's all really, you know, what you're involved in, it wasn't on half-measures. Yeah. This was all the way in.
Starting point is 00:33:50 He had, no. That sounded like he had four kids at home. Phil Robertson never half measured anything. But I will say this, though, what he went out, whatever he goes after? Yeah, you better be careful. He's going to figure out how to get it. Yeah. Don't want them monkeys caught?
Starting point is 00:34:08 Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, this would have been already handled if it was in South Washington Parish. I'll let you boy. They're worse than monkeys loose down there. Because you would think, you know, that's what always made me. when he started his fishing, you know, make it a living. You would think if you dropped a net, okay, 12 foot up,
Starting point is 00:34:33 all the way across the river from bank to bank. If anything moves, it'll catch it. Uh-uh. Wrong answer. If you don't know, look at the spots and have water and all, uh-huh. you got to know they're just it's unreal
Starting point is 00:34:55 and I'm talking about you can be off a foot not catch a scale I ask that boy named Peter he's just on the wrong side of the boat no no that's the craziest thing all he had do is throw over yonder oh no I've had a personal experience with that
Starting point is 00:35:12 telling me hey with Jesus Christ no but in his creation there's two corks sitting in I'm telling you, they were to inch apart. Both of us had got a big shiner on it. Mine would go under, big crappie, y'all. Put another one on and put it right back where it was.
Starting point is 00:35:35 15 times in a row. Who was fishing with you? A kid that lived next door. Was he your driver? No. No. I found he kept seeing all these fish. I'm cleaning and eating.
Starting point is 00:35:48 He said, can I go with you? I said, yeah, you can go with you? Yeah, get that paddle. Oh, that's right. Yeah. But look, 15 in a row, that cork goes on and I put him in the boat. And I said, hey, we're going to be here until we fill this cooler up. I said, the next time my cork goes under, move yours one inch to the right.
Starting point is 00:36:12 One inch. Because, hey, you're going to sit here. You're going to sit here all day watching me catch his fish unless you move. I don't know what it is. One inch? Listen, one inch. I got one for you.
Starting point is 00:36:24 I witnessed him, Cy, and Godwin in my boat. Yeah. Cast at the same buoy and Godwin caught 18 fish before Si ever caught one. I've got the same bait on. I'm ridden the same,
Starting point is 00:36:42 I mean, I got my bait under, I got my rod under his rod. And I'm sitting there doing the same. anything he's doing he'll 18 in a row I finally caught one fish What were you doing wrong that he wasn't?
Starting point is 00:37:05 I have no idea but I never did get it right. He was his his retrieve was slightly faster. Must have been something because hey, they had hit guy ones. A lot fast. Hey, and wouldn't even touch mine. Oh, that happened with field one time we had a pond like to the east of
Starting point is 00:37:24 You know, and every time a black cloud Come over there, the pond was about five acres. Had lily pads all over it. And, you know, slam full of big, big old giant bass. I mean, you know, and the tiny torpedo was the bait,
Starting point is 00:37:41 sun perch pattern. Yeah, when it, it's clouded up over there, hey, we jumped in that car and took off once that pond. Look, I've got a... That way to landowner wouldn't be there? Oh, no, no. we have permission on this one.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Anyway, we've got the same torpedo. I've got the colors of a sun perch, but it ain't the sun perch pattern. It's that close. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:11 I saw mine out there. They roll behind it. Phil throws his out there, and you just suck it under. Too fast. You go. Hey, 27 till 1. I caught one bass, he caught 27, and hey, I put them together and looked at them.
Starting point is 00:38:31 All the colors are there, but it ain't the sun or the pattern. The only difference that happened was the back of the top water bait. That's out of the water. That's out of the water that a fish can't see. That was the difference. I did it. No, no, I'm telling you, it's something about that pattern, okay? They'll eat it up, and, hey, they'll come up and just roll behind that other one.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Look at it. You roll behind it. Tell me not if I answer at one. That must be the same thing happens when I fished with Jacob Wheeler. Yep. I just got to change color. Wrong color. Wrong color.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Surely it ain't him. Oh, no. Hey. You should go buy more colors. Nope. Because the guy when I had the same color. Yeah. I'm used the same bait he's used.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Oh, I tried that too. Hey, my retrieve was wrong. My presentation was something. Hey, it was wrong because it was 18 to 1. I mean, you're talking about. a small buttwhip it. There you go. I took one time.
Starting point is 00:39:28 You don't have pissed. Oh, he got hot. Oh, I was hot. You're not nice about it? Oh, I'm trying everything and I can't catch a fish. And they was a good one's too. Yeah, I mean, they're like this, okay. Hello at Duck Call Room.

Starting point is 00:44:08 So I figured, honestly, the most likely one of us to end up on there is Johnny D. No chance. No, I'm saying Rowdy from a hockey game. I figure, you know, because Monroe PD is right there by the Civic Center. So somebody come down there and do something stupid to you or, you know, back into your truck or something. I'm leaving early. I'm home by the time rowdyness starts.
Starting point is 00:44:25 I got way too many kids Let me tell you, don't ever leave a Yeti in your truck at the Civic Center It's gone Gone I was there two hours I thought everybody was asleep You know, it was 10 o'clock
Starting point is 00:44:38 Thought I was safe, nope No, that's when the night shift wakes up That's right Yeah On Patrol live There you go, Monroe Has anything crazy happened? Have you been keeping up with it?
Starting point is 00:44:48 No I watched it that first night They were there And the guy from Munro of the cop He pulled up to the guy And it's the most Monroe thing ever. He pulled a guy over. He said,
Starting point is 00:44:58 damn, man, your breast stink. That's what our cop said to the person he pulled over. He said, dang, man, your breast thing. Is it like really live? They're just following police around live?
Starting point is 00:45:10 I haven't made it on there yet, but I could, you know, maybe it seems to be live. I don't know. Like, you want to go? You want to go get rowdy Friday night?

Starting point is 00:45:48 Yeah. Well, what is not interesting. You'd be surprised what happens. Well. For a police officer on his. is yeah. To hear a drunk person's rationale of why they're not drunk and driving is always a good time, right? No, sir, I only have one fear today.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Well, sir, you can't even open your eyes. Yeah, but I'm just tired. No, I'm not drunk. Tired. Yeah, I'm just tired, man. I don't mess with the police. If I see a police, I say, hello, sir. Yeah.
