Oh yeah, he's a prop comrade. Oh, I got a prop. He's a prop comment. Oh, man. Clay's in the house. He brought weird stuff. And I'm not even talking about his hair. I'm talking about the box of stuff behind.

Are you recording? That was cold. It looks like he had a perm done before he come in. Look that. Oh, that's all natural. Okay. So are them highlights. This is the duck call room.

So, hey, he brought. I thought I'd bring my duck call. We brought it. That's brave. What is that a dog? A dog whistle? Yes. Brown one.

Do you know that Philip McMillan once brought a duck call to something like this, and they haven't even, like, talked to them in a decade? I want you to know. I did not know that. That's brave. But last time I brought a snake rattle and I almost got hit, so why not? That ain't good. Now, why do you carry a box of props with you?

I mean, this is, no, but this is you. This is just like hunting with you. Every morning we go hunting, you got a box of stuff we got to take. And I'm like, just throw some doggum shells. in your pocket and let's go. And you have, you've changed me over the years. Yeah,

but he's a gadget man. Well, here's something you need to do for him. Get him a new shotgun. Why, he's got mine. Well, no, no.

He ain't using yours. He's using that one he's got. Which one? And the barrel, the choke is burned out. Oh, that's true. He's got a new choke.

You either a new choke. I had to jayb. I had a new choke. I had shot it out. He had a new choke. Look, I got something to ask you rich folks. Rich folks? Yeah.

Zing. What y'all got against maintenance? Wait, what are you telling me? That's how chokes get shot out of shotgun. He's asking you and our esteemed guest who might or might not have a little bit of cash on hand. You're talking to the wrong person. Well, I gave him $600. Hey, look, no, no.

I mean, it was a dead old by McMillan. Hey, look, you're talking to the wrong person. What? Stone cleans my shotgun. Again, so. So what do you have wrong with maintenance? And my dad told me. I have nothing wrong with maintenance, except that I don't do it.

Hey, you said I had money? Hey, if I got money, I'm paying for that, boy. You did this before you had money. Yeah, I don't think it's money now. You did this when you were broke. What if it's not baddy? I'm like him. No, I didn't always have somebody that did it for me.

Yeah. Even when I didn't have no money. Yeah, somebody that'd pick him up on the side of the road. Right. Hey, good friend. That's called a good friend. Isn't that how him and Christine met? I don't know, but I had to figure.

I finally got tired of size showing up three hours late to work. I just started driving the way he'd come. And about it once a month, he'd be, that old Bronco would be sitting on the side. So I'd be walking down the road. I said, get in. Get in. We got to go to work. I just started traveling the same path he did.

That way he wouldn't have to walk to fields no more. And I appreciate that because I walked to the field a lot. that Bronco breaking down you walked a Phil don't exactly live nearby Well I know Yeah But it's a leisurely walk

You know Well I wasn't in no big earth Yeah So when you started working here By dinner time I was happy When you started working here You were working at Phil's

Oh, that had a big Dave's department. And then he, well, I'm telling you. I can fix things now. And then he said, well, do you need anything? He said, since you fix that, I'll take another one. And you might have said, what color is it? And you go, do you need the same color? I don't have that color.

But here's, and this is what cracks me up. He's done well enough. He could have the latest and greatest in everything. Right. and he still shows up on opening day of duck season every year with a Ziploc bag full of shells that he found in his truck and then gripes when they go poof they don't shoot

Don't weld it itself together. Yep. He said, no, I'll fix it. Oh, man. I love people like that. They make me laugh, though. I mean, he's just, I ain't believing his shell ain't working.

And he pulled out of his gun and the whole brass is nothing but rust. I'm like. And then I have to clean his car. Oh, that's not going to, we as bass fishing, man, Phil. We had bought three abrogatea cib real, the open face. Oh, yeah. Those are Revo 1's back.

Well, hey, these three things were whore out. So they ended up with me. So I break them, they're the same reel. I break all three of them down, clean all the grease out of them before I can see them. And I picked the best part in every, Every stack. And the Frankenstein.

No, no. Yeah. I put it back together and it's pretty good. I have opinion for this. I put Vaseline instead of oil and all. I'll grace on it. I put Vaseline in it. Beautiful.

Sent the other two, put them together, send them back. Look, Garcia sent me two brand new upgrades. It's not like that anymore. They was the 33. They sent me the 410, which was a fabulous, you know, real. Yeah, they don't do. that no more. Because people like him, Frankenstein and Reels, but I don't know

what's wrong with it. And no charge. No charge. Customer service, he said. Hey, guess what? When I got them two brand new ones, I sent them to the other than they said, hey, they sent me another one in 4'10. Because the two wasn't enough. Hey, I got three brand new rod and real now. Man, ain't that the people?

That's why we're dealing with what we deal with. Right. Warranties used to be great. Now people our A's don't even know what a warranty is. They're just like, deal with it. Because sigh and company just ran. Oh, no. Hey, look.

Look. The guy wrote me a night. And so did Clay. No, no. He wrote me a nice long letter. And he said, by the way, how long have you had these reels? He said, because they were, you know, the gears were pour out. You've got some fish.

Well, we used them. You know, me and my family used them and passed them. They got passed down, you know. I said, they've been good reels because son, you wouldn't. if I could fill an 18. I'm just kind of guy, though, when I use something and it has performed up to what I considered it should have. I'm going to buy a brand new one.

Of the same brand. Thank you. And say thank you for making a quality product and trash the other one. Or give it to a kid or something like, I mean, if it's still functional. You're going to give a kid a broken right and react. No, I don't, no, I won't give it to them broken. I'll throw it in a trash can. Hey, I send it to them and say, hey, fix my reels or send me a replacement.

and I'll pay for it. They're the ones that said, hey, if you use them this much, you know, I'll ask, well, hey, you got a good product. To be fair, whoever made that decision just got, it took 40 years for the marketing budget to pay off here, but they just got a great ambassador. Yeah. Oh, there you go. And what a name for Abu Garcia, too.

What an old ambassador real. That was an old ambassador, guaranteed. Somebody brought one another day, like, you got anybody who fixed this and said, no. No, but I got it. Got this brand new Revo right here. Yeah. No, that's wild, man. Well, no, no, because I've been talking for the last two hours before I come up here.

Who are you talking to there? Huh? I had some people in my house and I preached to gospel to them. Who were there? Yeah. I loved it. And I kept saying, I said, I know I'm repeating myself, but I said, I've got to the point that I love saying this. I know the man that hung the sun, moon, and stars in a constellation.

Thank you. And I said, his name is Jesus Christ and he's the son of God. And I know who he is. I know what he's done in the past, present and future. Okay. And, hey, I'm going with him. You can choose whoever you want to follow, but hey, I'm going with the man that hung the sun, moon, and stars. Well, I'm with you.

Hey, I love me. I'm with you, fellas. See, that's where I'm at right now, okay, because like I've always told them, and even he's done it on the shame. I am an uneducated country bumpkin. Okay, and that's just the truth of the matter. I don't have a degree. I got a high school diploma. Yep.

I have no degrees for colleges, okay, which I got my own thing about that, but ain't no big deal. But anyway, but God did bless me with one thing. He gave this crazy old man good common sense. True that. Okay, and with that common sense, I can look around me and I said, okay, let's see. We got the bird kingdom, they're beautiful, okay, all fantastic colored, okay? We got the mammal kingdom.

They're perfect in their environment. A deer, a deer is half white, like that right there. Yet, if he's standing still and you don't know what you're looking for, you can't see him. And what that is is that's perfection of its surroundings. Okay. And like, hey, where there's a design, there must be a designer. Amen. So you were talking earlier.

And what I don't, what I want to know is this. You said you're a preacher. You preach to folks that you just had some folks at your house. Yeah. Yeah. At your house. Well, it was my maids, people that, you know, know her.

And she said, I need you to talk to the side. Well, no, no. She said, you, she told me, she said, look, I've got fanatic fans coming, you know, from my family and they just, they love you. And I said, okay, good. You know, well, they come in and there's two men, Robert and Patrick, okay, and Patrick's mother, okay, and we got to talking, and hey, oh, it went maybe three minutes. Okay, and then I'm talking about the man.

Hey, nothing of Robertson loves more than a captive audience. Oh, no, no, no. That's why I look. I tell you that right now, buddy. If Phil's chosen what he loves to do, hunt ducks, well, the reason he loves it, okay, he's in God's creation. Then he's in a duck line in the wilderness, okay? And, hey, he's got a captive audience.

And a shotgun. Yeah. And, hey, he's waiting on ducks to kill, and he's got a captive audience that he's going to share it, Jesus. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means?

That means more outside cook. And y'all know. We love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Tritels beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day.

and you never really know where that beef comes from, but with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door.

We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks.

Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. So we always hear about Phil's story. That's what I was trying to ask. When did you start becoming that? Well, when did you start preaching? No, no, the show come up.

Okay, and everybody, you know, and like, yo, here's my take on it. You know, Al, Phil and Jason are the evangelists. Okay, they're the preachers. Well, everybody kept telling me, said, well, hey, look, every time you're out of an event, every time, hey, Jesus is always going to be talked about. They said, you need to do more of that. well i i just said no i out and field and jason was the preachers well time goes by and i got to look in and and said that was wrong what i said was wrong they're not the preachers i'm one too

and i love doing it okay and and here lately you know i've got hung up on the reason people don't believe in the father's son holy spirit they've never seen them work. Okay. And God has blessed the Robertson family with, oh, he showed us his work daily.

Okay. And I've got, yes, I've turned into a fanatic about I know the man. Okay. I just,

I just really like to unpack something, so I just said. I think for the first time ever, we have a Robertson documented saying I was wrong. well hey and I'm just saying I think for the first time ever

and he look there is documented video and audio evidence of a Robertson saying I was wrong because I've been wrong a lot oh we all have and and when I have to go to the Lord and say yep it's me again dummy yeah he already knows it again

he just won't hear you say it he already knows well I know but hey yeah I don't mind saying it yeah That's profound right there, what you just said, though. What's that? He already knows. Oh, yeah. He's waiting.

He's saying, I wonder when that idiot's going to come tell me about this. I mean, I know it, but like, what's going to admit to it? That's the thing about the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. They know it before you do it. Okay. And then they still say, hey, I'm still here and I still love you. Don't worry about it. Get up.

Knock the dirt off your feet. Let's go. Go. Yeah. And hey. That'll preach. Well, no, no, because, hey, that's why I said, you know, the human race is, well, yeah, it hurts my feelings that we're that stupid. Okay.

And y'all notice I said, it hurts my feelings that we're that stupid. Where's, do y'all have a button for like mystery button? Like, oh. Hit that bell. Is that what you got? Is that what you got? All right. You not watching the news today?

No. So this Algerian. individual knocked old girl from Italy out, basically, in the boxing and the Olympics. Yeah, they're supposed to be women boxing. So Algerian's not allowed to box according to the international boxing thing,

which is, you know... Oh, he was showing it on the little... Yeah, Josh got it up there. Well, the Italian girl says, nah, that hurt. I'm out. I'm out, big dog. Because, you know, she's getting punched by somebody who has a lot of testosterone

in their bloodstream, enough where the international officials of boxing, I don't know. They don't let the individual, man, I'm walking a tight line, Martin, just dodging all. You're fine.

There's some pronouns there. I don't know what they are. You know, and they let her, him, they let the individual go out and just whoop this girl, which is stupid. and I will say this, I have to. There's no truth to the situation. Well, this situation is a little...

There's a lot of falsehoods going on here. This one's a little different because she was born. Yeah, both? Yeah. Oh, hermaphrodite. Sure, I don't know the technical terms, but it's not like... Yeah, hermaphroditic means you got both. They woke up one day and said,

I'm going to take a bunch of pills so I can be a chick and dude. It's not that. But you still don't get to box against women. No, that's a tough. Dude, that's a tough. That's tough. I mean, that's just a tough. Could you imagine going through life like that?

I mean, that's tough. The individual has for sure had a tough life. But just because you were born with a bad deck of cards, that means you get to do whatever you want to do. Yeah. Which is sad because the whole world thinks you can do whatever you want to do now. But that's just, that's part of the problem. Yeah, that's a toughie.

But it's so. specialized when you get to the Olympics. I'm sorry. You just don't get to play. I'm sorry. You don't get to call. We got to protect women's sports. Well, no, no, because there's rules to this game.

Yeah, you just don't get to play. There's rules to the game, okay, and there's supposed to be women against women, period. If it is not co-ed, you're out. You're out. You're out. Because Reggie Bush could have won women's rugby, himself 100% to this day. Play?

Yes. You shouldn't do it. You might could go win something over there. No, trust me. All y'all would get to see is a bunch of women beat me up. If I play, it doesn't matter what rugby I play. Well, if they ever go out in a day. Give birth.

Give birth. Give birth. I'll be an Olympic sport. They all deserve a medal. Oh, man. Brittany gets to go. Your wife, yeah. With two, double gold.

Allison kind of struggled on that first one. She might not make the podium. The next two were way better. I'm in trouble for that. Oh, my goodness. I love you here. God, Maddie. I can't believe you with it.

You did used to say, man, yeah. Full disclaimer. This is not a bad rest. Hey, Jay, I didn't even think about this a lot, boys. No, Johnny D. You say it all times. Oh, yeah, 30 weeks she's on bed rest. She sucks at being pregnant.

She's terrible. She was real bad at being pregnant. It's not a good thing. we worked through it he used to say it all time we've given our testimony about it now we're in a great story oh

well women are men and give babies I got to say you on her job was giving birth oh no sir no chance yeah no not not even a little bit if we was up to band

we'd already been extinct boys amen women are way tougher than me I like old boy from the men's US team with the glasses Brady flip No.

No. Oh, boy, they just sat over there the whole time like a stone cold. Harry Potter, Netta-Razdak. He looked like a net of razzdak. Yeah. He was just waiting. He sat there the whole time like an assassin. They said, all right, pommel horse.

He took his stuff off, got up there and got us abroad. Is that the one who wears glasses? Mm-hmm. And he can't see. Clark can't. You don't got to see. The pommel horses all feel. That's what he says.

I have no idea. He can't see. And so he has both, both of his eyes can be, he can change eyes to whichever one is the dominant eye. Some people are born to pommel horse. Some people are Martin. He's a huge inspiration right now because he changes dominant eyes. That dude's 5'7, by the way.

Some people are born to pommel horse. Some of us are born to pommel pizza. Yeah. You know? I'm the latter. And you got to accept which one you are. And I'm really good at it. Give me the regular horse. Forget the pommel horse. No, I don't ride a regular horse.

I can't do nothing with that little fiend being. I'm trying to. any type of horse I'm into and I can't think of one horse power yeah I don't even like that I like to go well yeah but you got to go I mean it still takes horse power I'm good the less is more less horse more life well welcome welcome clay how's it going this is the craziest podcast I listen to your podcast like I'm one of the biggest fans right oh look we like to cover it all there's no tap who we don't talk about uh Beth oh Beth oh best did, well, Beth...

No, the Indian guy, everybody got all this fancy equipment, and the Indian dude looked like he's shot at people behind the gas station. He's Turkish. No, he's Turkish, and my man... The untrained eye. But he looks like, oh, boy. from Ted Lassow to me. He does.

Like, he's shot people before. I'm just going to say it. I feel like he's about to shoot us. I mean, where do he set up the camera angles? My man, like, yeah. He's pretty cool the way he does it. He said, I don't need your special equipment.

Paya! I don't, well, I mean, he is shooting a pretty specialized gun. So the fact that he's like, I don't need all the equipment. I'm like, bro. What kind of guns are those, by the way? I'm like, bro, like, go get a Ruger 1022 and let me see what you do. Like, if you ain't talking about specializing. guns let's get off that but please don't show that all that guy with that stuff because that's what

Great Britain scored 48 and America scored 26. In what? Pistol shooting? No, and trap. Oh, trap? Is that men? Trap's hard, man. The way they do trap is hard.

You got to shoot it through like rings and stuff? He, like, doubled the score, and that dude got... Great Britain can shoot. Well, yeah, what else they do it? They've got those old guns. I thought they only had like knives to stab each other with over there. No, man. We got guns.

They got guns. Okay, but it's just, you got to go to a lot of... Yeah, but we got other stuff. You know, we can go bass fishing. Praise guys. We got pizza at every other corner. We got, we got Waffle House. Could you imagine growing up in a country that didn't win medals and didn't have Waffle House?

Yeah, I mean, so. Like Canada? Zing! Oh. I watched Canada win something though. Diving maybe? Yeah, it was called two years ago, snowboarding. Like synchronized diving or something?

They were like bronze or something weird, yeah. We have a lot of Canadian. Oh, no, Canada's got seven medals. Yeah. Yeah, I watched them win one. I thought it was very odd that the sport that the Canadians would meddle in was diving. I mean, most of their water is hard. Yeah.

I didn't know they were used to jumping into soft water. I mean, you know How many times y'all eat out a week? If I need out, like just go out. A restaurant, not at the house. Oh, no, not much. Not this time of year. I went out to eat last night with my kids.

So. Did you take Christine? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's nice of them. You didn't include her in it. We had meatballs and spaghetti at what Milano yos. Oh, Milano. Right up there.

Yeah. And I picked up the town. Well, that's awful. That's awful. Well, it was her birthday. I mean, that's nice of you, side. When I take my kids out to eat, there's one rule. I'm not deciding.

Those three have to decide, and they all three have to agree. Oh. Oh, it's fun to walk. Oh, you drive around a lot, don't you? It takes a minute. But they argue some present points. Oh, they got blowing guns. Oh, they all have to agree.

If all three don't say yes, that one's out. And when the president steps in and says his stuff, what happens? He's, you know. He probably was the day. He's a big on the veto. Big on the veto. He's not really going to do a lot of pitching, but if you come up with a bad idea, Carter's like, no, we're not going there.

But we ain't going there. So where would you say y'all eating 90% of the tire? Are they like a one-trick pony? Oh, no. last night we went to Scots because they wanted catfish, which is, you know, it's a shame of my, I love Scots. They got great stuff. Fried fish in my family, though, it's like, we're buying this. It feels weird.

That's a toughie. Them kids like fish, so anytime they can, Benz will only, like, Benz don't even like chicken. He's like, I want fish. And so anytime he can sway the boat to fish. And I love catfish. Yeah. Oh, look, I'm not, I didn't grow up in your family. I eat shrimp.

it was good. But that's how, why do you ask how much we eat out, Clay? Oh, just, I was talking to my dad this morning, and he was like eating out whenever I grew up was maybe once a month. You know, it was, they considered it a privilege, you know, and so, you know, I was just curious. Oh, this Waffle House got you. And Waffle House got me on the,

how often do y'all eat out? Because I'm just. We eat out a little bit. Not all. Yeah, not much. If Alston's not around now, me and the kids are going. Like to this point, like the boys, if you try to take them to a restaurant or something, they're just way more in tune to everything that's going on around them

and then eating is not on their list. It's not on the list. And then by the time you do get done, whatever, and you get in the car and well, now they're so hungry. This is. That they're in full system shut down. This is like going out to see the circus. Yeah. With the boys.

Yeah. Everything else is going on here. You're watching it. It's century overload. I'm not eating. but by the time we leave, I will be the hangriest you've ever seen. Yeah, you're at that age.

Yeah, yeah. So, like, that's why, I mean, and plus the garden is like, I mean, this is garden time of year, so it's fresh veggies every night. Cucumbers? Cucumbers, squash, bell peppers, peas, okedars, like all the same.

How do you eat your cucumbers? I just peel them and eat them raw. You peel them. Yeah. You don't add vinegar and salt and pepper? I mean, I will put salt and pepper, but no, I can eat him straight off the vine. I just want to,

I want to jerk that skiing off. Oh, you like, you like to eat them just straight. I love them. Okay. Well, they're 90% water, really. So, man, they're not, I don't, you know, I love cucumbers. I went by Ms. Jolene's house yesterday on the way.

Yeah, he got a 15 pound box. Picked up a big box and delivered them to my mom this morning. Because his mama liked to make pickles. Oh, yeah. Cucumbers? Yeah. I like cucumbers. Oh, you tell you.

Anyway, I had a cucumber. I love. I like, yeah, I like cucumbers anyway. Now, I did tax the box of cucumbers. Don't worry. Well, you take that up with your mama, son. We were freely giving them. So.

He said I did tax it. Yeah. Y'all didn't name the one that I really, my favorite. What? Mater. Oh, no, squash. Squash and tomatoes.

Yeah. Fried squash. Either cut it's long way or circles, but I can eat 25. Oh, I don't. He loves fresh vegetables, deep fried and peanut oil. Yeah, I know. I said fried squads.

I had proud okra last night. The greatest, the greatest thing that happened to squash was the gas griddle to me because like I can just put a little bit of olive oil on it, salt and pepper and then throw an onion out, well, maybe. I mean, it is, but then you got to go through the whole process. I mean, you got to do the oil. You got to do all, or you can just go out there sprinkle a little olive oil on the griddle and eat you fresh veggies that way.

And that's why I eat ochre now, too. I just blister it on the griddle. Man, it is good. Gosh, but I love ochre. See, but I was trying to be healthy. People can't stand, especially if you're not like okra. Yeah. What about fry it over?

If you cook it in beans. Mm. Where it gets slimy? Oh, yeah. Gumbo? Oh, you put ochre in gumbo? No, no. They say, oh, hey, well, you don't ever want to eat gumbo and Phil's out.

Oh, he put about three bags. Oh, yeah. He got that frozen ochre. He's over, okry boys. Yeah. Yeah, Phil's, Phil's, Gumbos got a consistency of kind of like snot. Oh, no. It's good, though.

Man, it's good. It's good, yeah. It's good. That's good. Do you not like fried ochre? I don't. It's healthy. It's green.

You don't eat green? You don't know, that does great. I may there was something about you. You don't eat anything green? Cucumbers, does that count? That counts. I'm as green, yeah. I was just making sure.

Brussels sprouts? Oh, not a chance. Oh, man. Hey, I like a Brussels. I do like it, little baby cabbages. I got a way. I'm like you. Oh, Al and Lisa fix them the best.

Oh. Bacon, bacon, bits of bacon in there with it. Guy loves a vegetable as soon as you make it as unhealthy as you can possibly get it. Oh, yeah. I know, because out of them does spice it up and it in. It's cheese and bacon. Yeah. I'm in.

Yeah, wrap a shoe in. I got a friend who hadn't eaten a vegetable in a decade. Who? His name's Brad. Brad? Yeah. You might know Brad. Oh, he don't know what he's missing.

No, look, no. I kid you not. Or is he a keto guy? No. Oh. No, he's just afraid of vegetables. Afraid? Afraid.

Very strong man. but afraid of vegetables. That's a funny word to use. You know Brad McNeely? He had a lot of records on West Monroe's powerlifting team back in the day. Oh yeah, I wasn't on that squad. A little older than you.

But Brad, he swore to me this is a true story. I took it up with his wife. She confirmed. You know how when you go to Taco Bell and sometimes that one little piece of lettuce gets on the taco when you order no lettuce? He took a bite. He said something's wrong with this taco.

The piece of lettuce was on the other side. He threw the taco out the window. I said, you can't eat. I said you can't just remove the little string of lettuce. He goes, no, the whole thing was ruin. That's right. Those are the people I hang out with. That's Brad.

He doesn't eat vegetables. I kind of feel the same way about like mayonnaise and sour cream. You can't just, well, that sticks with it, though. But he can't even eat something that vegetables were next to. I'll pick stuff off all the time. You like milk? No, no. Milk's very healthy.

Yeah. No milk. Water. They drink water. It's the only thing I've eaten today is milk. Really? Milk. How did that work out?

How'd you eat milk? You just have to do it. Okay. The lady at the gas station that other day. You phrase it, put sugar and cookie dough in it and call it ice cream. Call ice cream. Yeah. That's better.

Thank you, Judge. I'm on a liquid diet. You drink milk for breakfast and lunch. I, I, I, I, chocolate covered milk. Chocolate covered. Oh. With a stick. Yeah.

Oh, I love. I eat way too much of it. And sprinkles. Oh, man. How good are sprinkles? I haven't had any in a long time but I've covered. Hunting versus Wasteful Killing.

Joel. Before you read it. Hello. Yes, we still get asked. I still get ass on Instagram and like, where 300 something of these end, the email has not changed.

It is H-E-L-L-O at duck callroom.com. I'm guaranteed to probably read it. You'll get it anyway. I'll look at it. Depends on how interesting you make the start. I'm a busy guy. Joel, though,

Joel, he picked my interest. And he picked Sao's interest because I was over here reading the subject line. He has a seven-year-old daughter, Ada, who loves science and wildlife biology. Praise God for Ada. Martin, a lot like you. He's an avid hunter,

and she often sees and likes, there's animals he's bringing home. And she likes to learn about animals. But she just read a book about reintroducing endangered species. that's obviously a thing and he was trying to explain to her that's not what he's killing

that's not all hunting or hunters are bad the great reasons to hunt fun food protecting people property how do you explain the difference to a child between you know the bad hunting which is just like going and smoking an endangered rhino for its tusk and selling it off

opposed to what we do shoot ducks eat them stuff like that the money that we pour in to it and you can tell her this goes like something like 85% of it goes back into conservation of the species so it goes into buying public lands it goes into maintaining public lands

it goes into working on all the equipment it's under knocking it's all the thing pitman Robertson dollars you can look it up it's federal government stuff one of the few things they've gotten right and re-uping it I mean like I'm just saying so but look there's poachers everywhere too the same time that are

still doing the same thing to our species that aren't of great concern. I mean, we're in Louisiana. It's August. Somebody will probably kill a deer tonight in this state, right? Like, I mean, it's just part of what it is. Somewhere near size. But would you call them a hunter, huh? You would call them a poacher.

No, yeah, they're not a law-abiding citizen. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, the game doesn't matter to them. Like, even though, I mean, we've seen it. Like, the first thing I do when I shoot a duck, and I go pick him up or dog brings him back. I hold him by his foot and I look at him. Like, I'm just like,

well, thank for about jewelry. Well, not even that. I generally flip him over. I just like to think about the story. Like where how, and I look and see how old he is. Like I'm,

how many times since he made it. I'm aging him and I'm like, that's cool. And just thinking about him and, you know, appreciating the life cycle that is the mallard duck or wood duck or whatever it is. Um, because then we are going to eat him and we're going to have fun. and, you know, we're celebrating and doing all the things while,

but the rest of the year when it's not those 60 days. And Clayte, I know he's been on tractor for the past month, month and a half. I loved it. Yeah, but you're just, but you're planning stuff for the foul, like to take care of them from for the time that you're not there hunting them. It's not, do you get some benefit while hunting? Absolutely. But the bulk of it is used in October before we can hunt.

and February and March after we can hunt. It's not even used for the hunting stuff. So taking care of the game and doing all the things. But she's seven. She'll get it as long as you keep reinforcing that aspect. Don't be in a hurry to explain rhinos and elephants and all the things of Africa. Explain the things that she sees and that you do that you see right there around your house. Here's the thing.

We had Paula and John Gowan on here because Paula and John hunt together. Well, a married couple. I asked her a specific question about, why do you hunt? She went on for like 35 to 45 minutes, and she never mentioned when I kill the deer. It was always, I was in God's creation, watching the things that the animals do.

We had worked hard, setting up the stands and all. So look, here's my take on it. If pulling a. trigger on a big book was all there was to hunting, I would sell every gun I've got and never go again. I agree.

Okay, because it's not about shooting the animal. It's been out in God's creation, watching, okay, I watch more than I pull the trigger. That's duck hunting or or

a squirrel hunting, dove hunting, whatever. I watch more than I actually shoot. Me too. Like Martin said, when I shoot something, my father made this rule when I was burning to hunt.

If you shoot it, you grill it. I couldn't even shoot a bird with my BB gun unless I ate it. Boy, I cleaned a many of them. I killed a mini of robin. Okay, and they are

delicious. Yeah. They're one I pop with that baby gun. I stuck a fork in him and roasted him over fire and ate that sucker. Yeah, Mabon made me do the same thing. Oh, hey. That's a true sportsman, okay? We want this stuff around for my grandkids. Yeah.

Okay. Take care of. Hey, there's too many poachers everywhere, okay? But she's seven. You got plenty of time to get there. Like, I wouldn't be worried about explaining the world away to a seven-year-old. Take her with you.

Show her the stuff you can show or explain it on her terms. And then just keep that, though. Keep that relationship. Keep that communication, all the things. Like, you know, wasteful killing is going to happen. Like, because we're humans and we're stupid.

Like, and people make bad decisions every day. Against animals are no different. Like, we kill each other for crying out loud. So. For crying out loud, Barton.

All right, that time for one more? Yeah. This one. Beth sent to me via a Facebook DM, but I also, unless there's two of these people asking the exact same question, he also emailed it. So that deserves,

but there could be different, but if this is more than one person with this problem, that is amazing. Thanks for the awesome content. Name Derek. It's a second-year duck hunting, and he has a big problem. What do you think the problem is?

Anybody? Shooting? Nope. I read it, so I'm not going to say. Duck calling? Nope. Where to find a place to go. Nope.

He has a size 18 foot. Good Lord Charles Barkley. Oh gosh, almighty. You will probably have to special order. Is there any way for him to get waiters? Yeah, just call one of the premium companies and tell them what you're after. Yeah. They make that.

They will make it for you. They will make it for you. Size 18. Yeah, call Sean, call Sitka, call one of those companies. I mean, the new. kind of pop-up custom waiter built. And they'll take all your measurements. Now, it may take them six months,

but they will get you something that you can. But that's not going to be cheap. Your size 18 foot. Where do you buy shoes? I got more questions for this guy. Buddy, have you priced a size of 10 waiter in the past five years? They ain't cheap anyway. If you're talking about duck honey,

they're not a cheap sport. They $1,200 regardless. Friend, I don't know if you've heard what size shoe I was. Well, you wear a 13, you get all my stuff. But, you know, if I need a new pair of waiters, I'm going to ask you which ones you're tired of. Yeah, you just come to my house. But I'm just saying, if you were to price. I'm a little size, true.

So I just try to go where he is. If you were to price them, a regular size that is normal from like eight to 14s are $1,200. So. That is a big foot. A 18. Yeah, my man's on skis. Derek, I need you to send me the rest of your information in, just so we know what size man we're dealing with.

18 shoe. I mean, that dude's the size of a refrigerator. I'm thinking Andre. Yeah, he'd be. He'd be hard to hide. Yeah, how do you even duck? You just pretend to be one of the trees? Well, he is the tree, yeah.

Yeah. You hang stuff from him. Like, you go over, his buddies go over and hang ducks on him. Well, you know what we can talk about? The Bible. Yeah, so I started this off with the Bible. We went down a real weird route. But I think this covers.

A few things we talked about, and it's found in Genesis 1 in verse 26. Then God said, let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God. He created them, male and female. He created them. Let's get out of here before somebody shows the 18-sized shoe at us.

All right. We'll see y'all next time. We're out.
