Oh, we ready crank this baby. Let's crank this baby. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. What? I had a great Christmas. A great Christmas? I did. What is the negative side of Christmas?

There's not one. Yeah, you can't wait. Well, and you making sure that don't happen. Jay, do you know what I'm doing right now? Tell me what you're doing. This is one of the things you never do, J.D. Don't try to work out on a cubie under a table that's too short. Short table.

Okay, because it's killing my knees. Every one time when I hit it. Here, I'll lift. I'm lifting the table with my knees. Now you get a workout. Oh, boy. Hey, check that out. Go ahead.

So you ate a lot. Look at him. Speaking of weight gain, how much weight have you gained, Johnny De? Since when? Since Christmas? The last two weeks. There might have been a, it was a pound difference between. Well, that's good.

Yeah. That's really good because me and myself since hunting season. Oh, it's been tough. I have gained 11. 11 pounds. 11. I haven't checked since I hadn't been working out in my cubie here for a couple of weeks. I've got lazy.

I probably got him about 10. I had the first. It's all right here. It's all right there. All right there. That old boy. Big gut. I had the first piece of pie I've had in four months or something.

First dessert. Oh, my God. Oh, banana caramel pie. I had one piece. I understand why you're doing. And I said, it's Christmas. Banana caramel. I understand why you did it.

I said on Christmas, all rules are out the door. Well, that's where I'm at. You know, when you get to the point to where you don't eat a piece of homemade pie, that's when you got to look yourself in the mirror and say, I don't want to be on my deathbed one day wishing I ate a piece of that pie. Just say, it's reward. No, that's when you need to check your pulse and see if you ain't dead. That's right.

You turn down pie. I ate pie fried shrimp, potato casseroles. I just went for it. Crescent rolls. I ain't ate white bread. I smoked a baloney lo. Hey, smoked a baloney. That's one of the best things I've ever had was a smoked baloney.

You had to have a special baloney to smoke it, though. You can't just. All of them won't work. A special baloney? No, I'm serious. You have to buy the right type or it will not, it won't, you leave it in there for a hundred years. You didn't take like smoke. Who told you that?

huh the guy that cooked the best I ever ate I can't remember his name well I must have had to write because it was good well no no it was good yeah it's something about it has to be right right blown there or he wants to smoke the last hour I mixed barbecue sauce with jalapina jelly

and put it on there that sounds like a good glaze but here was the the winner I done your fried duck fingers I wasn't done of that leg oh

it was gone once you get on them you can't get off of I got some fried shrimp waiting on me from Christmas leftover the first time I had that after fried shrimp

you know what to do with that right eat it well you know how to warm it up to make it where it's crispy again air fryer maybe I like cold shrimp oh you eat cold soggy fried shrimp I love all forms of shrimp I'll eat.

I can't do cold, soggy next day fried shrimp. Well, how do you do it? Well, you get you a cookie sheet, turn you oven up by about 425. And put them in there. Just spray you some pam on there and throw them in there. That'd probably work on day old french fries. It'd have crisping back up. Yep.

That you old french fries. There you go. Yeah. I'll make a new french fry. You didn't french fries. What'd you say? shrimp. No, our Christmas lunch every year is all the casseroles of every corn, potato, sweet potato,

and then we do filets and fried shrimp. Yeah. Big Dave. Are you a casserole man? Nope. The only casserole I like is cheese cheese and mac. Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese.

Oh, I'll tell you something else I put on the grill. That was good. Them apple or something. something flavored them brocks out of that moink box. Are those good? Yeah. Apple flavor? You need to get it.

I have some. Oh, I haven't eaten them yet. I'll take. Now you've got me interested. Yeah. Because we had all the Christmas, I got a moank box for Christmas right before, and I hadn't broke it. I ate some New York strips.

Well, good brock is hard to beat. I'm hungry now. I ate some of them in Germany. They're the best. Well, I did. at the Robertson Christmas, we had fried shrimp like y'all, and I did two Boston butts.

I smoked them for 11 hours. And he couldn't get off of them. And they were good. So I had to get up at 4.30 on Christmas morning, and I put those butts on the smoker. And I walked back in the house and Sage, my youngest, my seven-year-old, she was sitting on a couch staring at those presents.

She read it. And she looked at me, she said, Daddy, he came. That's right. Santa came last night. I said, you barely made the cut. You barely made the cut. I can't believe it. She just sat there staring at those presents.

I said, well, you need to go back to bed. She said, go wake up, Mama. I said, no. No, no, no. Not at 4.30 in the morning. No. Oh, I made my boys. My boys woke up like six, but the baby was still asleep.

And Mama said, no, we're waiting on her to wake. We ain't waking her up early on Christmas and having her cry all day. Them boys were forced to sit there for two hours and just wait. I felt bad. I was like, hey, look, my sister used to sleep in on Christmas, too, man. And Johanna, Johanna comes, stayed with us. Me and her was up drinking coffee. Well, she wasn't drinking coffee.

I was. And Paula, she was the last one. I didn't know y'all. I said, hey, it's Christmas. It's Christmas. You got to get on up. I don't get breakfast. I do love Christmas.

Oh. Did you get anything good? Yeah. Get you a fishing pole? I got, no. No. I got some, yeah. I got some, yeah.

I got some tennis shoes. I got some cleaning stuff to clean my sea arc with, boat cleaning stuff. I got some SD cards. I'll stuff I need it. SD cards, baby. Hey, well, you need them for, you know. Dear, Deer Camerson's such.

It's always good to get those. What'd you get? My whole family got some rod and reels. Oh. Well, because my children are left-handed. And so that's becoming part of a problem in life. Because I don't, like, all my stuff's right-handed. So then, like, if I take them fishing,

they're turning stuff upside down and trying to do it left-handed. So they got them some nice little push-button Abu Garcia. We're going to go fishing. They didn't want to go fishing yet, though. They were, and I got me wanting to. I saw a hand one time He was reeled in a spinning rig Upside with the reel

Facing up That's what my kids do And they'll turn the other one upside down So they can do it left out This guy was a grown man His name was sigh No Nope

Well if he got on a spinning reel It'd be just rightful Everybody wants to put the handle On the other side That was spinning reel Yeah don't do that That's what I do Put the handle on the left side

Oh, that's what I do. Spinning reel left side, bait cast right side. Yeah, that's right. If you're right-handed, you put the handle on the left side. That's right. Oh, with your right hand. That's it. Real with the left.

Set the hook where you right hand. That's right. Set the hook with your right hand. There you do. There it is. Christmas advice on your new riding rail. They come like that. First figure out what hand you use. And when you're spilling up a spinning reel, you get you a wet rag and hold that line

and let that line come through that wet rag as it's going on that spinning reel. That way you don't have all that memory. Yep. Or if you're on the lake, just throw it in a live wheel. I've never heard that either. I've never heard that either. That's right. Well, do the same thing.

I just, I'll cut the bait. You can read it on there. And then what you do is, hey, you just let line out and motor down the lake with it and just let it go all the way to end. But there can't be any end of it and then rid it in. That's right. Nothing on the end of the line, though. Right. No light.

Just a line. Free line. Take the twist. That works. every time and hey it'll untangle it it makes straight as an hour and it takes it a long time before you starts kinking up on you yep because it'll get all that memory out all right now we need some comments on how you how do you spoo you're riding real what side of the of the reel is your handle on yeah yeah i'm on whatever side my dad was on because i just used his stuff my whole life

that's just like a coffee cup what side of the handles a coffee cup of them yeah i drank coffee yesterday. It don't make any difference on coffee cups. It's on the outside. It don't make any difference. Because you pick it up with either hand. If it was on the inside, it'd make a difference. Yeah, you get burnt.

Yeah, that's right. There you go. I don't know where we're going with this one. I don't know. But Merry Christmas. That's trying to make it easy. Look, it's 80 degrees. Yeah, I know.

I'm wearing short-legged boots. I got all like sweatpants and sweats shirts. No. That's what I just want to go up. go hunting. I look and someone walks up and had Bermuda shorts. Say that 10 times. Bermuda shorts. Yeah, Bermuda shorts. Yeah, Bermuda shorts.

It's 80 degrees. It was 66 when I got into a truck. It's hot outside. Yeah, it's hot. And it's Christmas. But it is beautiful. Oh, it is. Oh, maybe it's hot out. It doesn't have the same ring. But it ain't good for ducking. It ain't good for duck hunting. I told Stone, we need to put the shotguns up, break out to rod and reels. I told you to call guys. Because I'm sore-lipping them all right now. He soarlipping them all.

Well, how you got to get them in the boat? Quit soarlipping them. That's true. Well, we're going to take a break, and we'll be right back after this. 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, Bye 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 Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritels 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 either, folks. Yeah. Just go to Tribesies.

beef.com slash that's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. I learned about three years ago what the greatest crappy bait of all times is. What's that? This is that little crappy magnet. Yeah. That's it. Which one?

It's any of them. Yeah. But it depends on water clarity, what color and all that. Yeah, but the best one we use is okay. One 30 seconds. Yep. And it's salt and pepper. It's silver.

It looks like a little minute. So the way me and I do it, we do it an old-fashioned way. I don't have one of these high fluting video game fish finders on my rig. You don't live scope? No. I refuse. I'm not going to do it. My dad has one and he refuses to turn it on.

Well, no, no. All we need to know is the depth of the water where the brush pile is. Yeah. And then that determines how many. many counts we give it before we start reeling it. I will say this. I don't have a live scope, but I got a hummingbird that will tell me exactly how many fish. And how big.

Or on that brush top. That's right. How many and how big. That's it. I know that I'm at a disadvantage versus other fishermen because I don't want to use that video game thing. Because I see these boys on the lake, they got their head down. They're fishing, but they ain't even. looking at the water.

You know good and well. It's tunnel video. Yeah. They're not looking at the water. They're not looking at the trees. They're looking at God's creation. They got their head in that screen. And when they get home, they've got a crack in their neck.

Yeah. So for those of you that don't know, they're looking for that flash. A live scope is the newest and hottest thing in fishing that basically gives you eyes underwater. It's live. And you can just look at a screen and know, you can see the fish bite your base. Yeah. You say, here you come.

Get ready. Get ready. Here come. Hey, oh, there you. It's fun. And Godwin's into it. Oh, it's like playing a video game. So I'm probably into it.

Don't count where you're mouthful. Oh, yeah. I'm just saying. So you don't use it. No. I'm against it. In 20 foot of water, we give it like a 14 count. Well, it depends on how tall the brush is.

Yeah. But I'm just saying normally in 20 foot of water, y'all, you thought that. You give it a 14 count. Look, and about the time it hits 14, you see. start ridden it, then you fill a little drag on it and you start there is. It gets heavy. The best one's

is when it's in shallow water. Then it's the only depending on how deep the water is and our hot hole, I ain't'll say, I ain't'll say to death. But anyways, it's about a two count and it's Wham! Can you drop me a pen to that? No. No. No. I got a little blue dot on.

Hey, if you go with this, I blindfold you. You're going to blindfold me? I blindfold you. I blindfold you. to get you there and blind for you to come out. Guy was the only other human I've told where that's at. I'm telling you. I never seen nobody else fish here. Crazy, ain't.

I know. Well, do we keep it a secret? That's right. They fish it when we eat. Any place you can pull up to and throw 85 times in a row and catch about 85 a pound and a half copy in about 15 minutes. Yeah. Yeah.

It was about an hour and a half. Yeah. Hey, you did catch one on every cast. I'll tell you how bad it was. Stone said, hey, we got enough. And I said, one more. Well, I did that about 10 times. He's like old Harry Potter.

I did that about 10 times. One more. And he said, hey, and I said, hey, do it. As soon as it hit, I hooked him. He said, Stone just flipped out that blade he's got on his belt, cut the line, tanked the motor up, said, I got to clean these. We're going to.

I was having a gentleman. up up and down on that 65. You didn't get the fish. To close it. To get the lid. All I did was take fish off hooks. That's all I did. It was every cast.

But you all need to claim that much. I got two fish that day. We come back to the land. It was 100. Oh, yeah. Full limits, boys. Full limits. It'd take a while to clean a hundred fish.

It takes a whole time to clean 100. But he's got a good partner. his little daughter. And not you. You actually don't know how he's daughter. Okay. He's filet. Hey, he's filets them.

River. And she cuts the bones out of them. That's good. And what did you do? You just caught? I just caught them. He just caught them. He just comes to me.

I'm telling you. He said they'll be ready about six o'clock. And he shows. That's why I told him this morning. I said, hey, when I was driving in this morning and I told you age too, I said, hey, I was thinking of how good I've got it. I said, I've really enjoyed being around you, boys. all these years

he did he slicked us all he did Jake's swing oh oh see you had a well see

they're they're putting out I did it for 40 years yeah okay now we trained them to do it but the only thing about it

trained you you to do it you got to watch these young bucks because they get moutty when they get about 50 yeah

they were young bucks now they're getting mouthey they'll get moutty on you boys You know, he's going to lay thing we're sitting there talking about and tell me, well, you all you all ready to go? And Phil said, well, we ought to get him Jason. Hey, y'all can stay, but if y'all go out to get the decoys up yourself,

Phil said, well, we better go then. But then he looked at there and he said, Stone, you're going to pick up our decoys for us? I said, yes, sir, I'm doing it right now. Yep. So if we leave right now, we'll pick them up. But otherwise, you're on your own. You're on your own. You know, he said tomorrow, hey, I ain't coming.

So we're going to have to get Burrell. We're going to have to talk Burrell in putting D-Gar. I can't believe y'all actually want to go. I mean, there's a reason we've been talking about fishing the whole time. Well, no, hey. And nobody. What else have we got to do? I can't kill them sitting there.

I can't work out on my cubie, but I can't kill a duck sitting in my recline. When I got back to the barn, where we part of the four-waters today, that my waiters were full of water and it wasn't because a leak or I fell it was sweat he didn't fill his waters up because he sweated but I understand because hey look after they went okay man Stone had to make the rounds okay and he's got to put out all

he had to fill up my feeder were corn then he had to put out so you did all rice browns yeah then he had to put rice brown out for all All the bucks we're trying to keep in the area. Now, now, good, I'm actually. Stom, you working hard today. I do it every day.

It's not even lunchtime. Dude, my day, I get up at 3.30. We go, we go duck hunting. I get back, cook lunch. Most of the time I cook lunch. And most of the time it's fried duck fingers, which we have the recipe on the duck commander of YouTube. They are as good as deer steak.

They're good. Oh, they're delicious. They're delicious. You bring some tomorrow. You're buying them right. Oh, no. They're as good as deer steak, I'm telling you. This was all gabber.

Now, that's saying something, because I love my deer steak, but the first time I ate them that he had fixed them, I said, wait a minute. I said, what did you say this was? He said, that's duck fingers. I said, no, you don't cut up a darn yearling and fried deer steak here. What are you talking about?

I said, that ain't no duck. Oh, yeah. Phil said, hey, it's duck, idiot. Stone fixed it. That's him Woody's. That's him Woody's living kidding. Anyways, well, go duck hunting. I said, I don't really believe that right now.

At least 10 o'clock every day. And that's the early day. That's early. If Phil, let's his sleep. You know, now this thing got real hot, we just start unloading our weapons and leave without even asking Phil. That's right. I can see Phil looking down there, he's trying to figure out. He said, what is all that noise?

Yeah, what is all that noise? I hear guns. Look at 70 degrees at 9 o'clock in morning. Oh, it's terrible. So we'll get back. I'll eat cooked lunch, we'll eat lunch, and then most of the time I'll sit on, take somebody deer hunting that evening and I get him a deer. And then I get home about seven.

If we kill a deer, I get home about eight. Yeah, because then he's got to go. He's working hard and hang him up, gut him. Oh, yeah. Go pick you up on the rickshaw, bring you back. Oh, it's tough. Hey, you know, I try, I do my best. I'm a lot better than it used to be about, you know,

I never want to complain about any of that. We're making memories, boys. That's right. Making memories. Meadstone and B.K. are making memories. That's right. Okay.

Because I've done told everybody in the family, when I die, that Begarra 6.5 raffle of mine, that's Ms. BK's rifle. Yeah. You heard it here first. Okay. I guess other people have heard. a second. It's documented.

It's documented. If anybody fights over that. I made sure that was documented. Please go to minute 20 of episode 98 at the duck call room. BK. And you get that rifle. Yeah, you know who owns this rifle. That is, that holds up in a court of law. We're going to

take another break and we'll get back to God, we own a second break. A second break already. Who knows what we're going to talk about next? Who knows? So there's this guy There's this guy that we've been hunting with for years. You know, in a small area in Arkansas, he's famous. Very small area or big area?

Kind of like when Phil run up on, he said that women do not have whiskers except for small pockets in Arkansas. I had a night. You had a beard. Oh, me, my great grandma had a nice beard. Okay, lovely lady. The reason she had a beard, hey, she worked like a man all her life. Oh, yeah. Okay.

And I mean, that's just the truth of it. She worked like a man, so she had a beard. I mean, how thick? How thick, how thick was the beard? Oh, no, no, no. She had to, hey, she shaped. I'm serious. She had, yeah, because she worked on the farm all our life.

Okay. They had cattle, pigs, all this stuff, young. She worked like a man, okay. If you work, so we work. So what you're saying is, if you work like a man. Oh, if you work like a man, you'll have a beer to me. And you're a woman. You fix it grow a beard. Hey, yeah.

She did. Yo, and that's what I attributed. Then how did I get a beard? Well, no, no. Hey, I'm just saying, that's what I attributed to was work, okay? I had to get that joke in on myself. Maybe it was some of them squarely genetics y'all got over. Well, hey, maybe, you know, I go with my theory.

Okay. You work like a dog, you know, you live a little. be a dog. That's it. Yeah, working like a man, boy. That's it. Well, anyways. Biological theories from Uncle Sy.

Back to you, Stone. So, anyway, this guy that we've been knowing for years, he was childhood friends with my father-in-law, Al. And his real name is, is what, William. Bill? Bill. Bum. Red shoes. Bill called him red shoes.

Billy Red Shoes and then that later transformed into Red Dog. Red Dog. For the old school Duck Commander Hunting Videos. He's on like the cover of Duck Commander 4, isn't he? Oh, yeah. He's one of the original. Because they had that dog, that red dog. I'm not sure he called him Billy Red Shoes because he wore those red converse.

Yeah. Oh, that was a good tendency. The Red Sox was his favorite. He was part of the famous butt-woping story. when Phil lined everybody up on the car and said if you ever want to come back here That's the best one ever You take your boatwubing like a man

I told out of a lot today Your friends Your friends impress me big time Because hey If that man has told me Hey all the rest of you want to come to this house again Come on down there and get your boat with So that's in five right there

That's Barley And W.E. Red Dog. Phillips in the middle there. Yeah. Oh, Burley got to look about him right there, son. Burley's got a thing.

Boney's always having a little bit. Anyways, W.E. doesn't sort of let himself go a little bit. To put it mildly. And Phil says he's the only man he's ever seen that can put a plate of food

on his belly and eat off of it. And it's perfectly flat. It stays level. It stays level and it does not move. table it's like a table yeah it's like a table yeah he can cut a steak up or everything else that's it cut the steak he used two hands you know yeah yeah yeah and the plate never moves so he's got that going for him but he also is a what i call he has the gift of gab he comes up with some things and you would never think somebody like that could be that witty but i come up with

this new duck call this is there he is there he is right there that's the perfect photo yeah that's a good one That's it. That's him. That's him right there. That's an updated version. That's right. Yeah. Red Dog.

Oh, he's killed a many of them. He's one of them. But I come up with this duck call, the Phil Robertson Pro series, and I sent one to him. I said, what did you think? He said, hey, that thing has reverb on the milkdown. Huh? Reber. Hey, this is the, he's telling the people that built these calls.

and he's using terminology that we'd have no idea what he was talking about. So I had to think about it. What does reverb on the milkdown? What does that mean? Translation, please. I went hunting the next morning. I was sitting next to Jason. I told him what Debbie said, and he said, reverb on the milkdown.

So he looked up. Reverb. Reverb, which is reverberate, which means what is? reverberate mean. We're talking about guitars and amps here now. Yeah, reverb's like feedback. Like back pressure. Feedback and the milkdown is high to low.

Okay, high to low. So when you're blowing a duck call, you reduce your air. You start out with some good pressure. And when you get down to the lower notes, you have less. You got to turn a reverb down. Less pressure. But this one turns out it holds. that reverb all the way to the last note.

So in other words, it takes very little air to make the reeds harmonize. Do what it's supposed to do. So that's the newest? That's the new volume. Phil Robertson, Procery. I like the black one a little bit better. But, oh, yeah, it's got reverb on the meltdown. It wasn't bad manners.

Good tea. Good tea. And we also apologize because it was bad in manners. You want to hear it? Have you heard it? I was about saying, give the people. Y'all get that reverb on the milk down. That's the proof of it right now.

You hear that? Yeah. That sounds good. I hear the reverb. That's the reverb on the milkdown. That's it. That's it, boys. Hey, he nailed it.

I don't know about you guys. That sounds just like a duck. That sounds exactly like a duck. That is heard. That's the goal. Yeah, that's impressive. reverb on the meltdown there's reverb on that meltdown

you should put that on the package I know it cost too much and put you know you got to give W.E credit for it W. yeah that the package needs to say that

reverb this call has reverb on the meltdown W.E. Phillips have a picture of him holding it was right W.E. With a plate of steak on his belly

he's the only man that I ever seen that could do that though Oh, yeah. Anybody else, if you put a plate on and start cutting a steak, you fix to have whatever you got on your plate and your lap. You've seen him do it? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Look, I've seen him, hey, I'm talking about, you know, the steak was on, cover the plate. Oh, he's hilarious. Have we ever had him on here? No, we need to have it on. In 98 episodes, we've never had W.E. Nope, we've never had him. Yeah, next time he's in town, he needs to be.

Because he's got, you do a pretty good impression of him. No, he's got plenty of doors. But he's a strange character. Oh, he's strange. Well, you've got to be strange to hang out with that. Well, no, no. But, hey, look, his dog. What was the dog's name?

I can't think of that. Chase. What is Chase? Vegas? Trace. No. Trace? No, it was Chase or something like a.

Chet. Chet. Chet. Chet Walters. Hey, look, no, no, look. This is the only dog that I know, okay, if you go in a deer stand, tree stand, that dog could climb in the stand with you. Hey, good.

he could climb he could climb ladders you're talking about a lock on I'm talking about if you lock on the ladder if you got a ladder going on a tree that dog bill had

will climb it like that thing I showed you this morning yes sir he would climb it yeah he could climb it he was unreal

he was the dog now that was one of the best one he's ever had well he chained him to it because you know everybody talks about the dogs but

because we had tree blinds we had dog blinds we had dogs We had duck lines and trees. So, hey, the dog had to come up in the bind. Can you climb a tree? Well, you know, I used to be scared of them, like on John. You know that.

But ever since we started using those hunter's safety systems. Those are important. I'm not scared anymore. Well, hey, no, no. You should not be in a tree. I would just fix that. Anytime you're climbing trees, you better have your safety rope on. Oh, yeah.

You get killed or get maiming. What do you build? You always think. that's not going to happen. Safety. Safety first, boys. Yep, because you should either, I'm watching a dog climb a ladder on YouTube. It is possible. Oh, yeah. But safety first. Wear a life jacket. Wear a safety system at all times.

Anytime you're on water, have your life jacket on. Anytime you're going up in the tree, have your line tied to the tree where if you fall, you won't fall and become a, you know, embellet. That's statistic. I just don't want you to hurt to seven people. There's a lot of people that have done it. Oh, I don't. So it's dangerous, and hey, you don't want to do that. Do not be stupid.

Take time to put a life jacket on if you're going to be on water. Take time to tie yourself to a tree if you're going to be climbing up and down. It's one of our favorite PSA is because we don't like getting prayer requests for families whose husband was doing what he enjoyed and then made a mistake. And it cost him dearly. So on that note, tie your stuff. stuff into a tree, wear a life jacket. Take a break with us. We'll be right back. Hey, and now we're back.

You know what? And we haven't talked about. Christmas is gone. It's over. That's it. Christmas 2021 has come and gone. You will be. Now, what we got coming up is we got the new year. 22. Are you going to stay up till midnight?

No. Hey. I ain't ringing. I ain't ring. I ain't ring. I ain't ring. in the face. It's a rubber band war. So you're not staying up to watch the ball drop. That's at 11. The rubber bands are flying.

Barely missed you. We're pretending it's the new year. Oh, there it is. My goal save me. Happy New Year. There was the gone. Got him, boys. So.

You don't make them? No. Hey, look. I told you all the last podcast. the Bunknine special wider long barrel 45 we used to have them and we

he's on the rubber bands so you don't make New Year's resolutions no no no let's take a quick break because this segment's over here's what I do okay tell us I've lived 2021 okay

and when 22 gets here I'm going to try to be a better person that I was in 2021 Well, that's pretty good. Yeah, that's a good goal. So that's all I do is I try to live a better life that year coming up. Be a little bit better than you were a year before. A little bit better.

A little bit better. A little better shape. And a little better shape. Well, I bet you can pull that off. You seem to be the man that can do that. Goblin, you got anything? I'm going to try to catch all the crappie and Darbone Lake. Please.

Every one of them. Please don't. I'll no longer have a job. All of them. He's going to catch a all of them. That's like, you know, I took my youngest daughter fishing. We caught about 10. Nice for him out of Willie's Pond.

And I said, it's time to go. You ready? She said, I want to keep fishing. I said, well, good night. How many of you want to catch it? All of them. All of them. I said, good night.

She got a lot of Robertson in there. I mean, you want to kill. All of them. Yeah. You hadn't thought about it? I hadn't thought about setting a goal. You need to set of gold. Has Jason called all the fish out of Willey's Pond?

Pretty much. Pretty much. No, I don't believe. I think I could go out there right now with that salt and pepper jig. Throw it down there and just about the time you get to right there. One of them croppy matches your food. That's it. Yep.

That thing grows fish. Every time you put it in the water, it turns into a crappie. Thank you. Y'all just go over and see what you can do, size. It's sain it. I make them older this afternoon then. He's coming. Tell me when I'll meet you.

Bring your back back with you. Bring my oxygen with me, boys. It's a little bit of a walk. I ain't, hey, no, I'm going to drive your go-cart down there. I ain't walking. I ain't got a no go-car. Hey, yeah, you do. You got one of them golf cart things.

Oh, it don't work. Hey, put it on. Charge the battery on. The batteries are gone. Come get my golf cart. I'm going to drive my truck then. He's going to drive his truck to Willie's Pond. That's right.

You're going to get stuck. That's going to go over about like a turn and a punch box. Well, that's all this. Hey, I may be banished from the property. Because I'm driving my truck down there. To the edge of the bank. Stone, you got anything? What, a New Year's resolution?

Well, I would like, I'm kind of like, I try to improve myself every year a little bit. Of course, you can reflect and see where you need improvement and be honest about it. Mm-hmm. As a human, you know, I tend to have, I guess, what you would call selfish tendencies. As a human being, I have a good friend of mine named Jeff. I always tell John, I told John the day, I want to be more like Jeff.

Man, I'd be, so. And this guy, everybody has a friend like Jeff. If you don't, you need to go find one. Go find you, Jeff. Because this guy is the definition of. selfless. Yeah, he's awesome. Always worried about others instead of himself.

And I want to be more like that guy. I want to do more for other people than for myself. That's a good one. Well, you're well on your way, sir. That's my... Yeah, I would say you've helped me out this year in the form of 30 pounds in the last few months. And just being encouraging as well as teaching them.

Self-finalization is... is rough. Most people are not, most people are not honest with themselves. So, so mine kind of goes with that. So mine's more of like a new month resolution, but it's going to lead into the new,

so I'm going to, I think I'm going to do it. I've been considering it. In January, I'm going to delete everything from my phone that's not phone and text message. If I, I just want to communicate,

I don't need, delete Facebook, delete Instagram, just delete it all. delete any like little puzzle game that you play when you're sitting on the toilet and if you want if you need to do that fine go sit down at a desk and do it but get and then I just I don't even want to look at my phone because I'm not on call anymore like I when I'm at work I'm at work well your previous job I needed my phone you had to have yeah yeah now I for the first time ever I can go throw this thing wherever I want and leave it for

a month the black box I can just put it like I used to need to have it so now that's I'm thinking like, and it's created stuff in me where like I won't even be a penitaineering. I'm just doing a puzzle or something stupid. And I'm like, I think I just want to delete all that and like retrain myself. Like this is, my phone is not for entertainment. It's for calling and communicating to others. That's right. Well, please don't break it.

I'm glad these things do not work for me. No, no, I'm serious. I'm serious. Because the deal is, hey, they're more trouble than they're worth. Yep. They get you in trouble too. Hey, a young person today can get in serious trouble with one of these things. Oh, yeah.

Okay, and really, if it's important, okay, you know where I live. You come see me if it's important. Otherwise, you get in the truck, drive over. Somebody's going to show up. No, no, hey, the slang term is, okay, it's called street lingo, okay, you know, and tell them, okay, can you talk to talk? Yeah, okay. Yeah, but hey, do you want to talk to?

walk to walk yeah you know well walk to talk too if you're gonna run your mouth then how you you both better be able to back it up and walk that's it I'm looking at all the things but anyway yeah but it's a good thing like you're talking about yeah if you don't have it oh yeah but you can you can lose yourself in it and then you look up and it's like oh man I spent that much time on my phone and I'm like I'm brought to just well number one the month of January I'm axing the thing Number one, I've never called myself a conversationalist. I don't know what they do.

What have you got to talk that all the time? Well, yeah, Robert. I see people driving down the highway and they're talking on the phone. There's nothing in my life that important. I saw something on the way back, on the way here. There was a guy wearing a mask sitting on the passenger side. With his hand on the steering wheel, it was going about 60 in a 35. He was driving?

Who it is? No, no. That's always tickled me. There wasn't no driver? Well, I'm sure it was a driver. That's always tickle me when I'm driving down the road and I see one person in a vehicle. And that person has got his mask on. Oh, yeah.

You know, I don't get it. Okay. I don't get it. I don't either. You're by yourself. Why are you wearing a mask? You're a threat to yourself. Yeah.

Are you that scared of yourself? These people have gone slap me next. I'm serious. I don't get it. Anyways, I saw that today and I thought, boy, I have seen some things. But that right there is something. And he was probably on his cell phone, too. Probably, oh, he was.

Had your cell phone with a kiss. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, I want to shoulder. Well, what I don't understand about everybody getting one of these things, they never talk on them. This is called a cell phone. Look that beautiful family. They never talk on them, okay?

They only text. Yeah, they write letters on them. Now, I am like that. It's a typewriter is what it is. Okay, and when you're driving, I don't do that. Don't be typing on the phone. Okay?

Put off the side of the road, please. I think we as a society. I'm driving, everything aside, put your phone down anyway. I saw a picture the other day. It was of some golf tournament. And it was like 1995 and everybody's watching. And it's like 2019 or something. And everybody's holding their phone up, recording what's...

I'm like, and they're all looking at their world through their phone. And I'm, you know what? I've had enough of it. I've had enough. rid of it. I'm going to go pick it up after this. How did we ever survive without them? Yeah, shockingly, we did. When I was in high school, I had a phone and a bag with a cord on it. A bag phone. Bag phone. You used to have to carry, you used to have to carry change in your pocket.

Okay, and then go to a phone booth. I don't. It wasn't for Superman back in the day. The only time I ever used a pay phone, I thought it would be fun to call 911. from Walmart, but I didn't pay for it. And I learned a valuable lesson that day. Pay phones, 911 did not require a quarter. I got in trouble. Well, I'm sure it is. Yep.

Fake 911 calls. Anyway, there's some New Year's resolutions for you. Hey, let us know what yours is. I think we might have one other episode right after New York. Well, we're definitely going to have one right after New Year's or before New Year's. So let us know what's your New Year's resolution. Maybe we'll talk about it on the podcast. And we're going to take a quick.

break and get back to hello at duck callroom.com emails right after this. And find out what's in the box. We got some advice questions. Y'all want to get into them? We're in that email bag. We get in that email. So, hey, here's the deal. Some of you can't figure out the email.

They say they can't find where to find it. Listen, right now, it's hello at duckcallroo. Hello. com. Email me. I promise I'll read it. I don't promise I'll read it on the show. but if it's interesting or I find it funny, I will.

My man JJ from Orchard, Texas, emailed in this week, and he said, the subject line is tough question. Tough question. I like tough questions. Okay. Well, here's one question before you do. Are you ready for a tough answer maybe? Oh.

I like that, Seth. Well, right. Tough question. He struggles a lot with, nope, nope, I got something I'm struggling a lot with. He doesn't struggle a lot, but he's struggling with this a lot. he considers himself fairly educated in the faith and very positive about who his savior is, but he struggles a lot with perfectionism. How do I find the right perspective on making sure I'm having a relationship with Christ and not strictly religion

and get the right balance between worshiping Jesus as my Savior and remembering God as my loving father? He's trying to be perfect. Huh. Well, that's a very easy answer for this. Okay. there was not but one perfect human being, and that would be who we're worshiping. That would be Jesus himself, okay? We will never attain that, okay?

It's not to say we shouldn't strive to do that, but that's why he is the greatest human being that's ever been on this planet, okay, because he was perfect. Yet, he doesn't require us to be that way. That's the reason he came down to this earth. Okay? And look, that's the only way Sal Robertson is ever going to have righteousness. Okay. Jesus, my Savior and Lord, gives me some of His.

That's the only way the Father can stand to look at me. okay because I will never attain it in and of myself and I'll hushed. Well, just think about it. He knew how we were going to act down here, and he came anyway. Yeah. That's pretty awesome. Well, I, for one, I'm glad he did. Oh, yeah.

I'd be in a lot of trouble. Oh, for sure. I would be without a boat or without a paddle. As is. In the middle of the water. NOM. In a creak in nom somewhere. Yeah, perfectionism is a weird thing because we do try and you're,

you're striving to be perfect, but when you get caught up thinking that that's what it's all about, you miss it. Because that's whenever, I know in my life, you start comparing yourself to others, not even people better than you. Sometimes you're comparing yourself to them. You're comparing yourself, well, at least I'm not that guy. And so that was always, whenever I was trying to like follow rules and be perfect, and do this, this, and this right, I found myself in a judgmental state, like, at least I'm not doing this.

And so then you're always comparing yourself rather than just saying, here's what I am. It's ugly. It's not perfect. It's messed up. That's why my favorite two verses is John 316 and 17. And the most important one, both of them are important. But to me, you said it, okay, judgmental. Okay.

17. John 317 says if the Savior of the world, that would be Jesus, came down and he did not judge us because he's qualified. Okay.

He's qualified, boy. I like that. Well, no, no. Okay, but if he didn't judge us, hey, don't you ever get in the judgment business? Mm-mm. Yeah, that's right. Okay, and you said it,

you call you, you catch your saying, ooh, but I'm not as bad as he is. But the bad thing, the good thing is, hey, and Jesus came down

because we are not perfect and we never will be. But he was, and that's the reason that what he did, he's the only one that could have done it. Mm-hmm.

So that's the cool part. You ain't going to be perfect. Why try? Not going to happen. Not going to happen. All right. Know what you are. You know, what Chris Christophson wrote the song.

And he said, I know what I am, which is a sinful man. He was a pretty good actor, too. Well, no, no. Yeah, but he wrote the song, which was good. Lord, why me? You know, what did I ever do? Well, hey, you could never do enough. That's why Jesus is the greatest human being that will ever live on this planet.

Okay, because he was perfect. And all wells will be. Man, he loved us enough to come down. he did I got another I got another one all right this one's this one's kind of sticky too

and I'm gone with this one because it was just the holidays you might have been around your in-laws and things of that nature so Emily I'm not going to say where you're from Emily in case your mother-in-law's listening

or future mother-in-law heard her boyfriend been together for almost a year planning on getting married next November congratulations they really love each other They're telling everybody it's going to happen. But here's the deal.

His mom still treats him like a baby. And it's kind of making her uncomfortable. She says he's cute, kisses him on the head and stuff. Let's be honest. It's kind of creeping her out. Her word's not mine. He still is at home right now. So maybe that's the reason why she's talked to him about it.

He's like, eh, but he doesn't want to tell his mom. His mom's a super sweet lady, right? So, and they don't really, they're not like. the Robertson family who will just tell you how it is. She specifically said that. They're kind of, you know, more reserved. So she doesn't know what she needs to, should she tell her husband to say something?

Should she say something? I'm going to go ahead and say, you probably shouldn't say something. But she needs life advice on her mama's boyfriend. No, here's thing. Question. How old are you young man? And how old is the girl's mother?

she's 20 I don't know how old her boyfriend is and I don't know how old but I mean that's Because look If she's in her 40s or something And you're like in your 20s You may be a baby to her

Okay Oh well you're always a baby It may not be detrimental Okay What does she say Kiss him in the forehead? Yeah So I'm a bona fide

100% mama's boy Oh me too Everybody knows it I agree with it I ain't trying to get around it But there is There does come at time where my mom had to step back and, you know, I'm now married.

And you've got to figure that out. Every time I see my mother, I give her a hug and she kisses me on the cheek. There's nothing wrong with that. I am not a mama's boy. But I love my mother. I'm not. And there's nothing wrong with the guy's mother kissing him on the forehead. I mean, that's just something that maybe turn the mirror.

around and look at it? Well, no, because I don't know. And when you have catch you. It could be something more than that. I have no idea. Yeah. So I don't know. That's, that's a.

But that's one of them things like, okay, a lot of people are not, well, I call huggers. Yeah. Okay. The Robertsons are not known. Well, no, no. Well, see, I am. You are.

You're the only one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, because like, Phil. He never hug me. Hey, well, hey, look. But I am.

But I am. But I'm saying. Okay. the lady may just love you and, you know, well, she loves her son. Well, no. Which all mamas do and all mama's boys are treated. That's part of being in love with the mama's boy. You may be, but Stone said it.

Okay. There may be something else there, but you may be making something that's not there. That's right. That's what. Who knows? I mean, we don't know enough details. Yeah, I think you're doing the right thing because you've talked to your boyfriend about it.

Yeah. Um, and you just need to figure it out, you know, here's the deal. If you're going to marry this man, you are marrying his mother too. Do not make enemies with the mother and a lot. Hey, you want her as a friend. Because guess who was at my house for about five hours after I was at her house for about five hours yesterday. My mother-in-law, we're good friends. We made coffee together.

We sat and talked. But if I would have got all sour about something she did 11 years ago, it wouldn't have been nearest nice Christmas 2021. So remember, whatever you do now affects Christmas Day 2034. That's right. And you know what? It ain't worth it. It ain't worth it, Emily. Well, hey, I think that's all we got time for today. That was a fun one. I enjoyed being with you guys. Martin, I think will be back on the next one, but I got us a Bible verse. All right. All right. What are you going to send us that one, Psalms 51, 10 and 11 for the new year. Here's your good verse, creating me a clean, heart, oh God, and renew

a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me. It's a good time to renew some things. The best thing you can renew is your relationship with the Father. See y'all next time.

Maybe next year. Be safe out there, folks. Be safe.
