Hey, let me put my headset on. Put your headset on it. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the podcast room, boys. So what did you do this weekend? I went fishing with Stone and Martinez. Oh.

Okay. For Crappy. All we really did was one out there and make sure that Stone's boat's been in the shop, you know, make sure it run and all that. And the property are on the bed. We found a spot there back in one of them little coves that, you know, there's 50 of them on the bed. They didn't.

So then we finally went up there and there was a dock out there and we pressed up there and John went by and he threw the buoy out and told me, all right, we got about a hundred here. And I actually got two dumb ones to bite. I caught two. And I caught two little old buck baths,

a little bitty thing on my jig. Thank you. But the water wasn't but 11 feet deep and then it was a tree there and the tree was like a foot on on the water. So you couldn't, you couldn't really,

you know, and I mean, the crappie were just in, down in the limbs. So they ain't, you ain't really, in there,

every time you get in there, oh, break it off, retie me, you know, break it off, retimey, break it out,

retimmy, so, no. But they ain't, they ain't on the brush tops yet. Well, no.

Yeah, they're still on the bank. Yeah, they up there reproducing. Yep, they up there, you know, stock and restocking the lake.

But anyway, you know, We had an enjoyable day on the lake. We caught five fish total. Okay. But it wasn't, you know, we just had a good fellowship. So I see someone different setting beside you today. You see someone different?

Oh. Yeah. Oh, I was wrong about it. Oh, whoa. I didn't. No, no, no. I was wrong. That wasn't the one that I killed at Eddie's.

Okay. I killed that. It was me, Philip, his two sons. And my grandson, we actually. went to Triple Creek, I think, is the name of it, about 45 miles northwest of Dallas. It's high fence, okay, and everybody involved the five of us. One, two, three, four, five. Yeah.

All five of us, his son killed the biggest one. Scored 228. Drop times. Drop times on Bo Fountlers. He never went again. Okay, drop time on Bo Fountlers. And I killed this one, okay, and he scored 200. them eight okay and that was that that that deer actually was shipped to us from

Japan what hold on wait a minute because he committed Harry Curry I had to shoot at him five times before he died there's more than five no it was five and that's taken it no no that's five the great outdoors ladies and children no but I'm just saying sigh had the cheapest ton out of him all well no no he shouldn't have been he shouldn't have been dead because every shot your price goes down oh no it'll come from my Raffle, look, my rifle, you know, I threw it in on a dime at 100 yards, and I put three in the center of a dime at 100 yards. Uh-huh. How far was this deer?

But anyway, no, no, no, no. Anyway, he comes out the first time, 125, boom. Boom. Okay, I don't see dust kick up nowhere, and he runs off. That's because you shot all the way down to Amarillo. Oh, no, no. So, hey, he comes back out. I shoot at him again.

He comes back out, and shoot at him again. Come back out, four times in, fifth time. First time it happened, I got out and I said, hey, let him live. Let's go to the house. I mean, I did. And the guy was running the camera. He said, look, this is for, you know, for duck commander deer hunting. No, we're rolling the camera, Jack.

Get back in the darn blind. So anyway, so I said, well, guys, here's the thing. I done shot at this deer four times. And I'm saying, hey, has anybody seen dust kick up? Tell me where I'm hitting. And they said, we don't know. You're shooting high, though. So look, I've been dropping this thing the whole time.

Every time I'm dropping it all. So this time he walks out there again, about 125, stops. And I said, okay, y'all say I'm shooting high? They said, yes. I said, okay. So I've been putting it down his front leg, okay, and putting it like in the middle of you. Okay, so this time I run the vertical cross area down his front leg. Okay, and I said, okay, they're saying I'm shooting high.

so I take the horizontal line on the crosshair and I drop it below his belly and say, Coboom! Okay, well, he does. And I said, I said, Maddie, I said, y'all bought that deer from Japan, right? He said, what are you talking about? I said, because that deer, I didn't kill that deer.

I said, he committed suicide. I said, he committed that, what do they call it, Harry Carey? What? Amacazi? Camaccav. Harry Care, I think it's called Harry Care. Harry Kay was announced for the cops.

You know, and commit cause suicide. Anyway, the deer should have lived, okay? What are you talking about? Father blind, he's here. He has a pretty one. I want to take you to the fair where they got those bent barrels

that you can shoot and win a prize. Maybe you could hit some of them for me. Well, they don't got that mess. That's a fair rig so much. You know, you ain't done it. Often called Harri Kri. Harry Carrey Harry Carrey

I can see where that's what That sounds like some kind of fashion and fancy dish Well what you're talking about Harry Carey if that's how you pronounce it It's spelled that way Well whatever So anyway

I learned something new today I didn't claim killing that deer I said he committed to us that But he is on the wall He's on the wall Tags out of his ear I got another one His ear sewed up too

I don't know yeah I got another one coming That I did kill in South Texas down at Eddie's place, and that's the three diamonds ranch. Okay. High fence again. Amen.

There we go. Well, hey, look, I ain't claiming the deal. Willie's talking about he's a free roaming deer. Everything Willie shot is in a pen. Hey, so you think Jayce will do that? Hey, if he ever kills a tiger, I'm telling you, they got a goat steak out. and when he comes up to eat the goat, he kills the tiger.

Why is it? Who's shooting tigers? Hey, how about you're tigers, huh? The hunters. I don't know what's happening anymore. No, no. That's why I know. If you ever get a chance, go to the three-diamond range, okay, in Alice, Texas.

And if you were wondering about size opinions of high fences. Eddie's got a good idea, Martin. Great bunch of people, okay, first-class operation. And look, hey, he's a big hunter. He's killed a lot of stuff in Africa. Was it in Africa or was it inside that fence and taxes? Oh, no, no, no. It ain't inside a fence.

He went to Africa. He's killed a lion. I don't get that. He killed a crocodile. Here, look here. He's got a crocodile in his lodge up in the attic. Okay. And it would be from about right there all the way past that camera over.

That's a long ways for our. listener it's a long way that's about 20 22 and a high feet okay and he'd probably weigh oh he's about it's wide at this table these two tables here that's a look when they shot him when he shot him in the river that's a dinosaur oh no no no when he shot him in the river that's a thing i used in lake plassie then his trackers and his hunting guys in africa the most of the source they all get down to the whitey tatties okay and they go get them a limb off a tree and they all weighed out in the river and beat the water

and go out there go on the water, tie a rope to that big crocodile and pull him to the bank. Pull them to the bank. You know why they're beating the water? To make sure they don't get eaten? That's right. To do it off all the other ones out there, okay?

I'm not that interesting. For what I'm concerned, that sucker would have laid on the river till he fossilized. The only way I'm going, hunting in Africa, is from the roof of a, like, a two-story jeep. All I want to do, I want to hunt. All I want to do is go and see all the animals. I don't want to shoot.

I don't want to kill none of them. I would like to go and sit on the, on the cliff over that river when the wildebeest make their 5,000 mile journey from the Serengety. You want to watch the pink part. Yeah, yeah, and I want to watch all these crocodiles. Stadium seats. Yeah, eat all these wildebeests. That's when Crocodators.

The crocodiles get to go to high fences in Texas. Oh, no, no, no, look. They know it. Hey, look, they know it. Green 7. Hey, you know, I see a crocodile right now taking a pencil on and telling me, what day is this? Oh, 31st. Hey, look that on calendar. Worldebeest, Worldebeest will be here at 31st.

And the dinner bell be rung. Oh, my God. Just cut that tag out of their ears. Goodness gracious. How'd be good here. Martin, I'm going to let you wrap this one up. I don't need to wrap anything up. Well, it's about time after a break.

There you go. Do it all this morning. I love it. Hey, y'all don't go anywhere. We'll be right back after this break. There you go. 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? 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 them. But with Tritales 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 who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic.

So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat, folks. Yeah. Just go to Tribalienable. beef.com slash that's try beef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. We had and we got a man we called Jay Stone. He is our, he's our deer management man. Okay. So he's been managing the buck population, okay, for about three years now. Made a hit list.

He made a hit list. We had total of leaven deer on the hit list. And look, this year, we got all the hit lists we took them out. Hey, I don't care who you are. That, to me, was very impressive. To have a hit list of 11, and look, here's the greatest thing about it. 11 different people shot them. There you go.

Okay, that was the coolest thing. You know, B.K. got her one. Stone got him one. I got me one. Marely. Martinez got him one. Don't even bring him up. But anyway.

You know, Martinez got him one. Philip, do you get to go hunting down there? No, Reed Robertson. Negative, sir. Reed, Roberson got him one. Reed, who's that? Reed, Jason, son. Oh, yeah.

Reed, I forgot. Oh, he will. Oh, he was fired up, too. Because he says, you know, they're sitting together, him a stone in the grove, what's it called the grove, okay? It's a ticket. Anyway, Reed said, Jay, how comes a big buck. and Jay said

Why are we whispering? I don't know. Well, because we're not. But anyway. I know, but we're not. It's a high offense. I have a question about this. Okay.

But anyway, Jay said, sorry, Ray, wrong one, you can't shoot him. And then he looks at it and he said, hey,

for real, that's the right one. Poppy. And Reed shot him and then we just wouldn't berserk. That's the biggest you ever kill, you know?

But hey, but it was a good deer season. Why do people whisper after they shot the deer? You're still in hunting mode. Yeah. It's like when a cop is playing with you and cuff you. That's never happened. Son, he goes in cop mode and he doesn't like it down so tight.

This doesn't drawled blood. Hey, how's your future of bracketology coming, sigh? You're a basketball, man. Yeah, you're a basketball guru. Remember you watched them all the games. You laid there and watched everything. There was once a man that played basketball. they were real good.

It was two of them, I say, okay? One of them was called magic, and the other was called bird, okay, and they was really, uh, what in the word, um, uh,

they both played pro basketball, and they both enjoyed playing each other because it made each one of them better. Hmm. Okay. Yeah. What does that have to do with March, Matt's got to do with my brachatology.

Okay. Look, yeah, basketball, Hey, there's a reason it's called March Madness. Yeah, everybody's mad now that the brackets got busted. And hey, when you use the word March Madness and then you're throwing words like, oh, they're a Cinderella team. Okay.

This is like fantasy football, but it's worse than fantasy football. Okay, because anything can happen in this. There's my bracket. All because of size Tennessee prognostic. I was with you. Look, honestly, I thought they would go all the way. And they didn't even make it out the first week. We called them a basketball school.

We sing Rocky Tom. They're still better at basketball than they are at football. Yeah. Everything in this game is up for grabs. No, they went back to Rocky Flop. If you got the ball your hand and you're close to the goal, just throw it up and, hey, it'll probably bounce around a few times and fall through the net. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's what they do. dude you know hey yeah then you've got these other ones that you know actually do some really talented yeah every team still left in the tournament is really talented um but hey just slip a coin and hey take you best shot baby who's going to win it good all right notice i didn't make any predictions did you not have a bracket no well i didn't watch any i didn't really make the connection. But you got to have a feel for the bracket. You need to really be paying attention the last month of the season.

The SEC doesn't play basketball. Well, no, they're football. I got confused right. They look good when they play each other. All right. So we were all rooting for Tennessee, right? I was. I think we all were.

You had to be because you're wife. I wish I was. Brittany's not listening. No. No balls. Who are you rooting for now? Oh, I have no. St. Peter's.

St. Peters? I like St. Peter. Now, who do you want to win? I don't have a coin. If I had a coin, I'd show you who I was rooting for. He's just going to flip it, heads or tails. John David, how many we got left? There's 16.

16. Sweet 16. Sweet 16. I quit watching when Baylor lost. That was who you were going for? You got a problem with that? Just kind of random. Yeah, very random.

They won it last year, and there were another one. Where to go out on a limb there, Phil. Hey, who's some of the top? And it hurts. All right, we got Gonzaga, Arkansas, Arizona, Houston, Michigan, Villanova, Texas, Tech, Duke, North Carolina, UCLA.

Oh, yeah, Texas Tech is in. Purdue. I will make one prediction. St. Peters, Kansas, Providence, Iowa State, Miami. Some way, somehow. The Duke and North Carolina is going to play. Who? Duke and North Carolina is going to play.

Play each other? Yeah. That would happen in the... Yeah. Well, I'm just saying, hey. That's my prediction on that. I just look for them. That's some way that, hey, they're going to play each other.

Yeah, because I haven't played enough this year. Yeah. I'm rooting for Miami. St. Peter's, man. Go for the Cinderella. Go for the 15 seed, man. They're going to get beat down by Purdue. Probably, but they're not going to root for them.

Hey, St. Peters is for real on playing the basketball. Well, yeah, they're in the sweet 16. They took out the wild Kentucky wildcats. I'll be charged. Buckley here. SCC. Charles Barclay. Hey, I'll be Charles Buckley.

Hey. Let's hear it. No. Hey, Wildcats didn't play good. Okay. Hey, St. Peter just how I played them, boys. Do you have a good Charles Barkley impression? No.

That sounded like it. That was it. Hey, Charles tells it like it is. All the other three was talking about, okay, yeah, you know, that St. Peter made a good move and made a couple of good shots. And Charles said, no, I ain't, no, I ain't given it. That was terrible. He said that was terrible defense.

Horrible defense from Coteau. That was terrible defense on the Wildcats part. Okay. I ain't no taking nothing away from St. Peter, but hey, now on that one, them two shots, no, it's bad defense on Wildcats. Terrible. Have you ever heard Charles Barkley's opinion on women from San Antonio? Uh-oh.

No, I hadn't. You should YouTube it, unless you're a woman from San Antonio. He don't like women from San Antonio? He's very rude. That's all I'm saying. Well, hey, look. You tell it like it is. You tell it like it.

You got chiro. Hey, all I'm saying, you tell it like it is, you tell it like it is. I'm going to tell you this. Let's take a break. We'll be back. We need a break. So I get an email from a lady in Colorado. What part?

I don't know. It's just Colorado. It's a big state. Yeah. And I may get Mac and Mary to search of these people anyway. So we get an email. She says my husband has been listening to the podcast. He's very interested in some of the stuff you guys are talking about.

And the story goes, you know, he came back from some tours and was really having a tough time. A lot of PTSD. Military man. Yeah, military man. He starts seeking and looking. And one day he finds a Duck Commander study Bible on the side of the road in Colorado, probably Mac or Mary threw it out the window driving by. Marketing.

Yeah, marketing. That's called littering. No, we call it marketing. But he finds that Bible, and he ends up having his wife email me saying, hey, I want to come down there and listen to some more of this stuff. So he came this weekend, got to meet Zai. We end up going to hear Phil preach yesterday. But anyway, it was just, it was awesome.

You know, he became a Christian. His wife became a Christian. I'm excited for them. And also, I just think, you know, I love how God works in mysterious ways, you know. And I hope that I can be a servant when the time comes like that. And, you know, fortunately, I was able to spend some time with him this weekend. Five-hour Bible study. That's exactly right.

And the wife was, it was a Facebook. They Facebooked it too. FaceTime. FaceTime. The wife watching it, okay. He gets baptized and then she said, hey, you come home. Okay, and then you're going to baptize me when you get home. But I believe just what all this stuff I just hurt.

Isn't that wild? Hey, pretty cool. Crazy. Yeah. That's good. I would say, he's in town right now? No, he's back in Colorado now with his wife. I would say that was a divine intervention maybe that he just happened to find a Bible on the side of the highway.

Yeah. If you're listening and you're like, you know, I'd like to get my life right. I want to be on the right track. It's never too late. Right. He's always there for us. You just gave me my Bible verse. You just gave me my Bible.

You just can't clean up, folks. That's right, so. Oh, now I got it. We got to do two more segments, but. Be flipping your Bible as a room and spot, but. It's a good one. Man, that's incredible. I just found it on the side of the road.

I wonder if he was cleaning up the side of the road. I ain't ever found a Bible. I found, like, screwdrivers. I found a $5 bill one time. Wallets. On the side of the road. Yeah. Yeah.

I locked them up to go get it. I got us down. I got to start walking more. My brother-in-law's been cleaning up. I just see all the stuff. And when I pass like something I want, I'm like, oh, turn around. That's a pry bar. Hey, speaking of that, I got a good story about that, about fine stuff.

Please tell you. And I was stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana. Okay. And most people say it's Fort Puke. But anyway, Ford Polk. I haven't heard this one yet. When I was stationed in there, I lived next door to a guy, and he had a, probably what? 40 by 40 little old shack building that he kept some tubes and stuff in there.

And I needed something one day, so I went next door and I said, hey, you got a grinder I can borrow. I got a piece of metal there. I need to grind down to sharp. So he takes me in that building. I didn't know where the guy worked. He worked at the city dump, where everybody brings their garbage and wherever things put.

Then they do stuff and all that, you know. But anyway, this 40 by 40 building was slam full of all kinds of tools. And look, he didn't buy none of them. He found every one of them in the dump. Oh. Okay. And then when he would look at it and check it out, got a bad switch. That was $13.

Got a new switch, put it in there. you know, brand new grinder works, okay? You know, just all kinds of power tools. Drills, you know, same thing, got a bad, got a bad cord. You know, the cord in it was good, I mean, bad. Take it out, throw it away, put a cord in. That's five, seven and five, something like that. Yeah.

Another time, okay, he looks down there and he's bulldozing this stuff and pushing the trash around and, you know, and a leather purse rolls up on top of the garbage. Uh-oh. So look, he shuts it down, goes over there and starts going through this leather purse. Well, it's got a zipper compartment. Uh-oh, don't do it. No, no.

So he unzip this zipper compartment. Hey, $1,000 in $100 bills. That's $10. $1,000 in just look like freshly minted, hundred dollar bills. I said, son, you got a leprechaun on each shoulder. Well, that's close. I guarantee, no, I'm serious.

He, I bet you he had like $10,000 worth of power tools. And look, he found every one of them in that stupid dump. And all it was was, hey, a short here, you know, bad card there, bad switch, just, just do a little little bitty thing that costs $15, $20 to fix it. and he's got a brand new power tool just, y'all. That's insane. So, hey, the statement about, hey, one man's garbage is another man's treasure. True.

Has a lot of truth to that. Oh, yeah. Amen. Look at me. This man here, I guarantee you, he had $10,000 worth of power to. My brother-in-law's big into picking up the highway over beside his house, like he goes and picks up trash. He has found a gun, which he called the police about.

He has found, I think he found a shotgun too. And then he found $20 bills. Like, he, it's, the stuff falling out of people's cars are unbelievable. Hey, none of that ever fell out of mind. Hey, let me tell you what I found. There's just trash, everyone. Hey, quit littering. Not none.

I ain't got $20 to fall out of mine. So I had to evict a tenant. Oh. Yeah, evict a tenant. From a duplex. And, because they wouldn't pay me. This weekend? No, just recently.

And here's what I found. I found flea. and a big ball of dope. So I had to call the cops to come pick it up. It looked like a basketball, but it was marijuana. How much you're selling that dope for, old man? Nope. I called the cops immediately.

Oh, that's the Ladega Nights. Come on now. Oh, man. Johnny D. made the dumb and dumber reference. You got to come strong. It scared me to death. I didn't know what to do with it. How much you're selling that weed for, old man?

Oh, come at you like a spider monkey chip. I love that movie. I never saw it. You never saw Talladega Knights? Me neither. It's the NASCAR movie with Will Ferrell. That's why I didn't too. Yep.

Because you don't like NASCAR or you don't like Will Ferrell? I ain't big on NASCAR. If you watch that for NASCAR, you're watching the wrong show. That was funny. That little old red-headed kids. How much you're selling that weed for, old man? Oh, man. Walker and Texas Ranger.

That's the name of their children. That's what he named it. son so Walker yeah Walker and Texas Ranger he said because if he'd have wanted a little sissy he'd have named him Dr. Quinn and Medicine Woman that's pretty funny it's such a good show you got Dr. Quinn and Medicine well I didn't want to watch the TV version they really clean it up on TV and it's still funny so tell you a sad part about movies the TV version's always funny the kids you had a girl and a boy and it was no he had two boys Walker and Texas Ranger Oh, okay. If you had the other side, he said it was a medicine woman.

Dr. Quinn and Medicine Woman. There you go. Educating, Si. I would say pop culture, but that movie's almost 20 years old now. How is we? I'm getting old. I'm surprised. I ain't seen that, then. Yeah.

Oh, man. All right. Well, let's take a break. We'll be back right after you. I did something yesterday I ain't ever done for in my life. What do? You wrote a shoot. I didn't know the clock was rolling.

I wasn't going to tell this one on there. Now you got to. It's a good one on me here. You finally admitted that there were more wheels than doors. No. There is hot wheels. You've finally done something. You've never done before.

He read a book all the way to the end. No, I did a bunch of that. Oh. First time that I've been out in my boat. Pond or lake? No, out in the lake. Big lake? No, small lake.

I went to woolen lake. Okay. I went down. I went to where if I had a malfunction, I could use my trolle motor. There we go. I wouldn't get in tow back. Is it's old river? No, yes, old oxbow off the Beff River.

But anyway, so I'm launching my boat, doing everything that you do, right? Unstrapping it, all that good stuff. I go to back end of water. There goes the boat. No, no, no. I'm better than that. I'm better than that. The drain.

Not quite. The drain. No, plug's in it. Not check the plug. Everything's in it. But I go to back off the trailer, and I'm like, man, why is that so hard to back off his trailer? I done left my transom saver on my boat. I pulled my transom saver off my trailer and had that thing dragging the ground up under me as I'm pulling up to the bank.

I'm like, what? Your trailer heads come up? No, my transom saver, where you hold you, where you hold your deal, where you hold your motor up to keep all the pressure off your. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Off your deal back there, off your transom. That way it don't bounce going down the road and tear your whole boat up. Oh, yeah, I left that on there. Yeah, you got to take that off.

Yeah. That's a rule. And I was like, well, now what? You know, do I put it back on a trailer? Like, how do I fix said problem? Goggles. No, you just trim it all the way up and jump in about mid-thigh deep. And when the water says 65 degrees, that sounds warm.

Yeah, but it ain't. That is a misnomer. Yeah. That is not warm. 65-degree water is not warm. Did I get cold? Because then that fabric started seeping up. It was going to where it was dry.

Equilibrium had been reached below, and it just started easing up. Ooh, ooh. Yeah, but I ain't ever done that. I have never done anything quite that. I've done the plug several times. You won't do it again. Like, forget that. Yeah, that's a big one.

And look, here's the funny part. Like, I trimmed the motor up. This just goes to show you however many times I've done this. I don't know. I trimmed the motor up and something caught my eye. I don't remember what it was. but I left, like, I was trimming the motor up to take it off. So something caught my eye, walked up front of the boat real quick.

And then I turned around, well, I see my motor trimmed all the way up. So I'm thinking, oh, well, I already did that. I mean, I remember looking just like, okay, I'm ready. I'm ready back in the water now. Wrong nature. I'm like, hey, I'll give you this. That sucker's still in one piece. It's well made.

Of course, I bought it back, you know, when I bought the boats, probably 2003. Back when stuff was still made. Oh, yeah, it's made well. But yeah, that's just go to show you. I couldn't tell you how many times I've launched a boat. And that is the first time I've ever done anything quite that. No, plug happens all the time. Not all the time, but more than it should.

I did something. But the plug's an easy fix. People out there, if you forget you plug in your boat. Yeah. Get on pad, turn your bilge pump on. Just start running. Get most of the water out, but make sure you head it back to the ramp. Then once you get back to the ramp, you can put your plug back in.

But you won't sink and you'll be fine. but you got to get up and get on pad, then turn that bilge pump on. Don't do those two in the wrong order. But you can survive that way. I did something kind of similar. I mean, I haven't, I don't think I've ever done this. I don't know what happened. But I loaded my golf cart on a 16-foot trailer.

Mm-hmm. I hooked it onto my truck and took off and then roo-oh. Uh-oh. In my yard. The jack? I left the jack down. Yeah, buddy. I've ripped off a mini of them.

Oh, my goodness. I couldn't believe I did that. I was like, I got everything. Everything tied down. I'm good to go. I got my lights on. And that is why they put jacks on brackets. That way, when you do that, it'll tear off and you just go get you a new jack.

And install it. Frecking all that. Felt so dumb. Like when you walk around the truck and you hit that little ball on the back of your truck. Oh. You only do that one time. But, yeah. Then you do a wide birthday on that.

You got a little respect for it. Oh, yeah. I clipped him this weekend, too. Oh, he got a. Oh, yeah. Barton got a bruise. I hit that sucker full of speed, son. Oh, yeah.

Martin, you got to get back on the swing of things, man. Spring, man. That one was hooking up the lawnmower. I cut my weeds for the first time this year. It is springtime because my eyeballs are just on fire. And I love it because it means it's springtime. I was outside all day yesterday.

Yeah. It was beautiful. Oh, it was beautiful. Oh, it was beautiful. Oh, it's just the work. My eyes have itched all day today, but I don't care. I mean, I care that I'm like. I'm just glad I told his fishing story first because they only caught five.

I caught seven and I was by myself. I was good. It was a rough day's fishing. Hey, I have a question for you and Stone. What pound test do you use? Two pounds. What on earth? What?

Camouflage. No, no, no, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No. Hey, look. I had a guy come in and he fishes with you and he said, hey, can you take all this line off?

And I was like, what this isn't what is this? He was like, oh, we only use two pound. Stone won't let you on the boat on the boat. you only have two pounds. Well, no, no, no, no. Let me tell you why. Yeah. If me and you go in different boats, what do you use?

I ain't get enough two pound. I didn't ask you. What size do you use? If we're going for Crape, either six or eight. Okay. I will catch four times what you catch. Ask him how many hooks he'd go through, too. Yeah.

How many you miss? I will catch four times. Hey, Martin, what did you use yesterday? Oh, yesterday, 20-pound floor carbon. Okay, so we had 20 and two. I had bass fishing, no. We should have bass fished because where we look at it was a big old bass laid on the bed. Oh, yeah.

I mean, grown them. They up there doing their thing right now. Oh, yeah. Are you a believer in this two-pound nonsense? No. Okay. No, I'm not. Hey, just trust me when I tell you.

Get him, sigh. Trust me when I tell you. I would just use a better grade of floor car. If we. Me, prayed. What I would do is I would do. No, hey, you say no. No, no, no, come down.

Oh, boy. Fishing pites. Let me tell you before you use subjects. The reason I say that, okay, look, every time we normally go, me and Stone, and we go a lot, we're going to get back. I'm aware. I've been there with y'all. I've done it with you.

Look, okay. But there's a better mouse story. I always, because I told Stone when he first told me, and I said, Stone, I lost five fists a day. Yeah. That was three plus, three plus, you know, pounds. How they call it? You pound test.

You know, and I said, hey, you know, me personally, when I was fishing and doing, you know, then got rid of my equipment, okay, I used six pound piece shine. Peeline, yeah. Peeline, yeah. Okay. Which is good stuff. It's a copolymer line.

It's strong. Yeah. It's going to take a bigger one to break it. Yeah. I mean, a big one. Okay. But I'm just saying, hey. But the one thing Stoll hasn't done.

We don't prove this, okay. I understand. You will catch more fish on that two-pound test. The one thing he hasn't done, though, is put like 20-pound braid with a six-pound quality lower carbon leader on it. And you'll catch the same amount of fish. I promise you, you will. He promises.

But he hadn't, and I get it because it's a pain in the butt to do. Oh, no. For what y'all do, the east. easiest way and he's taking kids and taking people no no i totally get why he does it totally get but you could do the same thing with braid with a small leader well i don't know if you catch as many because i'm telling you you you catch more than you think uh well i know but but that's a nightmare to do with small children yeah trust me because one line twist and it's it's over yeah if they're not paying attention so it's look i get why he does it and what he does it for but there are there are easier

mouse traps for adults to do. Two pounds. But kids, I totally get. Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah, it's hard. You tie knot with the two pounds? It's hard. It's hard.

It's hard. It's hard. I can't do it. My eyes, they're not that good. Yeah. Stone's done once. He's got him to buy the focal. Okay, because his eyes are going.

So, yeah, you've got to have it so tight. Yeah, you got to, I mean, it's hard to tie like a Palomar knot with. Okay. You're trying to tell me, okay, you wrap it a little bit, and then you try to, okay, I got to put it. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard. No, it ain't easy. Which is why you catch fish because they can't see it.

And you're fishing in brush tops, so, hey, you don't want to be pulling the brush top into the boat. You just break it off to how you new bait on them. Yeah. Because if you ain't in that top, if you ain't. No, see, you got to like fishermen like that, though, because they always come back to by jigheads. You want them to be doing this. Oh, no, no, no. Here's the thing.

Okay, because we lose, hey, in a five-hour fishing trip, We'll lose, what, 20? Yeah, that's why when I used to troll for Crappy all the time, I'd go hustle up all the tire shops for their lead, make my own jigheads. I got tired of buying them things. Because you'd lose 50 every time you went. Look, when you buy a five-pound bag of them?

Yeah, all I know. You know, because don't buy them, y'all. I'll give me $250. Oh, yeah, I used to make them. Yeah, because, hey, you just, you know, you break it off. Hey. Yeah. Then I got two attached to them, so I started buying them again.

I want to know what kind of knot you tied when you and Phil put that grill in the back of that truck. What you tell me? You and Phil put a grill in the back of the truck. Y'all were going to take it up, Ms. Kay's grill. She had the warranty on it. Oh, that wasn't me. Yeah, it was because Phil said, hey, side, did you tie not? Oh, I got the blame for it.

No doubt about that, but I mean, it wasn't me. What happened with the grill? I didn't have nothing to do with that. The grill's gone. It falls out the back of the truck. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, that was all, Phil. Phil said, what kind of knock at you tie,

but I got the plane for it when it fell out of the truck. And Cy said, I never laid my hands on the grill or the rope. Hey, I'll give Cy this. Man is an excellent knot tire with rope. Are you? He can secure loads. I did not know that. No, he's excellent.

Hey, look, mine ain't going to fall out. No, he does like double half hitches. Oh, no, no, no, no. And bolins and all kinds of stuff. Boy, it ain't coming out. Yeah, no, so I tie tight. Okay, if normally. I did not know that you were a knotman.

Usually, there ain't the one tied in it. It's usually how he takes the pocket knife and cut the rope. Don't the rest of the crap that way. I've rode with him enough to know a man, tie or not. He's good. I always got blamed for it. You did get blamed for it, for sure. I always get blamed for it.

That's like if duck flare, it ain't but one person's scared him. And I'm the only one that's got brush in front of him. All the rest of them standing in the ball open. There he goes. No, the man tie a knock Oh, hey. Tie-knit. First time I saw him tie him brush down

when me and him going to cut willows, I said, oh no, we're going to be all right. It ain't coming off. When you see a man, here's how you can judge a man's knock time, when you're securing a load. If the first thing they do is reach up there and tie a loop above where they're at, you know they know what they're doing.

Because they're about to run that other end the rope through that loop and we're about to cinch that baby down. If they don't start there. It ain't nothing going to fall off. Yeah. If they don't start there, say, I'm with the wrong crew. That's pro tip at home. Oh, this one of them deals about just running through and hope for the best.

It's okay. Then you'll see me if I'm there. If someone does that, I'll go over and tell me. He'll cut it and retight. I'm going to agree with side on this one. I get my foot on it. That somebody else tied that knot, Phil just pointed to blame. Well, that is the Robertson's favorite pastime.

It's transfer the blame. Flame assessment. Oh, no, that's the first problem. That's the first problem. What happened? Oh, load come off. Yep. Who tied that?

Man, worked in supply for 24 and a half years in the military. He knew how to get stuff there in one piece. I've done it. Y'all won't blame me anyway. Okay, I'll just say it. Well, I got blamed for sinking a boat, and I ain't ever even been in the thing. You know? It's always fat boys false.

Yeah. Them two fat boys. Something about. Get off him honey buns. We'll be all right. I'm looking around. I'm like. I ain't been in that boat

I ain't been in the boat And it turns out as Jimmy Redd's kid Shocker Shocker Probably the ones who tied that down If I had to guess Anyway Let's take our last break

We'll be back Emails Johnny Dee what's in that mailbox Hello at duckcallroom.com Hello at duckcallroom.com Let's start with Sheila Sheila Oh Sheila

She may not hunt or fish So we're going to answer a question This is Sheila from Hendersonville, Tennessee Hey, that's where my wife's from. Sorry about your balls, if you're a Valls fan. We were rooting for them. That's where my wife was born.

Really? Hendersonville, yeah, just northeast of Nashville. Maybe she knows Sheila. Well, her question is about your wife. Uh-oh. And my wife and size wife and Phil's wife. Okay. Why don't your wives listen in?

According to all of you, none of them do. Sheila, they have to listen to our stuff 24-7. Do you really think they need another hour of it? That's a great. Moving on. No, no. Hey. Me and my woman

has been married for 50 years. Last thing she wants to do is listen to me. Oh, I said they have to listen. They get to listen to us. They choose to listen to us. No, they don't listen to us. They hear us from time to time, but they don't listen to us at all.

So like you're hearing, what my wife's called it. Yeah. Yeah. Allison's just not interested. Yeah. No. I tell her about the funny stuff. They've been enough.

They've been around for enough of these little opine sessions that they don't need to hear one recorded. No, because anytime we get together, they hear it anyway. Yeah, it's this. I mean, whether we're playing dominoes or whatever we're doing, whenever we're all together, it doesn't matter. I remember when Duck Dynasty was on and Si would come over to the house and my family would be watching it, you know. And they'd say, say, say, come over here, you got to watch this. He said, ha, I ain't watching that crap. I think he watched about four episodes.

I said, sigh, why do you say that? He said, I got to live it every day. I don't want to watch it. He only watched the premieres when we had those premiere parties. And I think we only did that for like four seasons. And the only reason I done that, it's because they always had the steak. Yeah, good food. I remember that.

Man still worked for a free meal. Don't do anything for a good time. You were there, though, whenever that poodle showed up, which was one of the greatest moments in Duck Dynasty history. You laughed at that. What? When Killer showed up? That is the most, the picture, that picture of me and Killer.

I've signed that picture more than any other picture. Boy, it's hot that day, wouldn't it? Oh, what you thought? Oh, Lee, it was hot. But when they panned over and you were sitting next to that poodle, I giggled. No, no. Hey, killer was cool. Man.

I don't know how we didn't all die heat stroke. Oh, no. Man, it was hot. I was here at the office. Yeah, we've done some stupid stuff too. It was hot that day, bud. Middle of August and then wearing waiters. Yeah, it was hot, but.

And then they told me, talking about, you. I told them, I said, hey, I'm going to get wet. They said, no, you can't do it. You got a mic on. Uh-oh. And I said, hey, you better fix the mic. Yeah. Hey, I got wet.

Hey, $1,000 mic. Take it out of my check. Take it out of it. Hey. Ah, what else we got in? Next email. So we've had a lot of people kind of email in about this, and I'm just confused by it. He's confused.

And I've got young kids. So I'm not there yet. So Patrick out of Leeds, Alabama. Leeds. Alabama. Yes. I'm skipping the untail side. I said roll tied.

I'm not saying. He said we never failed to put a smile on his face. He has a question. He's 16 and there's this girl I really, really like. I've been listening to your podcast for a while now and I've heard advice on how to tell her, how to approach her, how to ask her out. We've given great advice on that if I do say so myself. But I have a different problem.

My issue is not that I don't know. how to tell her, I want to tell her, my difficulty is that I can't. Neither she nor I are allowed to get into a romantic relationship until we turn 18. And in order to honor both our parents and mine, I'm not telling anybody. So I want to ask if y'all have any tips for restraint from telling this woman that he loves her, or maybe not loves her, but he likes her. And he sees her two or three times awake, and he just wants to tell her, hey, I really like you. But is that normal to not date until you're 18?

I think it's becoming more normal. Is it? Yeah. You got older kids in this day and age of awfulness. Philip, speak. Because I don't know what to do. Yeah, I mean, it's a tough call either way, but I think he needs to become friends, you know. It sounds like they are very good friends.

Yeah, they could continue that friendship, and he could be like, hey, where are you going to be in two years? You know, don't go nowhere because in two years, you know, we're going to date. But no, I mean, I think they can just keep it friendship until then if he wants to. Hey, and kudos to honor your mother and your father. Yeah, it sounds like this kids got a good head on the shoulders. I don't necessarily agree with their philosophy, but it is theirs and their job is to raise you. We're not your parents. I'm not your parent and you're still living under their roof and they're paying your bills.

Like it or not, honor them. I was kind of like that because I was like, me and my daughter had a conversation and she didn't want to start dating until she was in college. So in high school, because it's just crazy in high school, we just said, let's don't date. I mean, let's be honest, for the most part,

relationships before you're 16. They really don't make much sense anyway. Yeah, where are you going? I mean, yeah, you're really just, you're really setting yourself up for some sort of failure for doing something you probably shouldn't at that age. So, I mean, I think the 18 has some merit.

I would just, man, if you want to stay away, like Leeds Alabama, there's a bunch of good ponds around you, son. Get you a fishing ride, get you a boat, go fishing, go deer hunting. I have a little problem with this. Hold on, Sao. That's fine. What could they do? Well, Sae's coming from a day and age where they was married by 18.

Couldn't they see each other? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but here's the time. I've got a problem with this. And it's not, you know, honoring your father and mother is paramount. It's biblical. That is. Yeah.

Okay. And I'm not going to go against that. The only thing that I have a problem with is, okay, maybe mom and dad, you need to talk to them. Because they're putting you kind of in an unnecessary bind. But you need to get all of them together. You need to get her, him, her parents, your parents, and say, look, here's what I'm saying. what we're thinking. What do y'all think?

You're putting on the girl. Well, you're, they're putting, the parents are putting an undue stress on these kids. Well, because we can even say. What my problem with is on this. Sorry. Okay. Because I know for a fact, okay, if, you know, because I say it with my peers. Okay.

If mom and dad says, hey, you can't go see her. You're going to go see her. You're going to go see it. But he's not. Well, no, no, what I'm saying. Okay. And that's why Martin was. right to say,

Honoring your parents was a great guy, and I won't ever go against that. But I'm just saying, hey, if it was me personally, you know, I would get with mom and dad and her mom and dad and say, guys, look, we understand, okay, but hey, you're putting it on to do pressure on me. Yep.

And this young man you're late. You can't go wrong doing that, Tsai. You can't go wrong, meeting everybody getting together and talking about it. And Martin's words, open and honest communication. Well, no, no, I'm just saying to me, okay, because I just know from watching my peers growing up, okay,

if the dad or mom said you can't date this person, they snuck out of the house. Which is kind of what's happening to this kid because it's constantly on his mind. Yeah, he's wanting to. You want to sneak out. That's why I would say, hey, hey, let's all get together. But, son, let me tell you this.

And we need to move on. But, well, let me tell you. tell you, I never said to my kids because I said so. You know what? We sat down and we talked about things. We talked about the dating that was going on around them and there was a lot of unhealthy things that they saw in school. Now, they were able to go to dances and do things. But when we would communicate, they were on board with what I was asking them. They were on board with it. They weren't bluffing. I mean, you know. Hey, here's the scary part of this to me, okay, in this day and age.

okay and i i'm not going into detail about it all i'm going to say is okay since there is this gender thing going on okay that comes into play in the dating world okay so it's you know you got to communicate about all this stuff like the part that i still always hate is putting a number on it because everybody is different if you if you say as a parent starting out, my kids aren't going to date until they're 18. That doesn't mean that you have to stick to 18. Your kid may be at 18 by the time they're 16. They may be making 18-year-old decisions when they're 16.

And I think this kid clearly he's got to head. If he's wanting to do the right thing. Yeah. So deep down. And so I think. To a man. I think your best call is to go talk to the girl because if she don't want to do it, you're going to look stupid.

So you got to make sure she's in. And then if y'all too have the maturity, to go to both of your parents and say, look, we know you said no, and we'll honor that, but we both like each other, and we would like to have your permission to date. Appropriate relationship. I think most parents would look at that and go, how do we raise this mature of a child? We can trust them. And that shows they can trust you.

So I think you talk to her, y'all get a game plan, make a PowerPoint, and go show your parents why it's a great idea for y'all to date. Yeah, and then cook a dinner. It always, food covers a lot of things. Make sure. Don't really make a power. Whichever one of y'all, whichever one of y'all's parents are the better chefs, have the other ones over for dinner.

And, uh, I like that. You know, something like that. I like it. Presented is almost a business situation. Well, show maturity. Yeah, that's exactly right.

And if you show maturity, people will respect that. If you show immaturity and you go sneaking around behind your parents back and they catch in the, or if you get in there. Or if you get in there during this process and they still say no, and you cry and moan and that, that's still, that's not maturity.

So just know that every action you take from here forward is going to be judged on a potential for getting your two-year probation list. We ready for a Bible verse? Yeah, absolutely. But I said I had one earlier because it was such a good thing my man Philip McMillard said. Oh, yeah. So Romans 5 verse, where am I going to start? Let's just start in. Oh, I've lost it.

Nope, there it is. Those are tiny numbers. Romans 5, 6 through 8. You see, at just the right time when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person, someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us and this,

while we were still sinners. Amen. Christ died for us. So what Phil was saying earlier, you might think you've got to get it together, you've got to get your life all in order, and then follow Jesus or then, oh, now I've got it together. Now I'll follow Jesus.

That's not what Jesus did for you. He, at your lowest of lows and the lowest place you've ever been, that's what he saw whenever he died for you and gave you the gift of eternal life three days later whenever he said this grave ain't going to hold me neither. So, therefore, no matter where you are at in life, if you think it can't get any worse, that's when he died for you. Right there.

At your worst. Preach. Amen. Good job. We'll see y'all next time right here. We're out.
