I like my women hot and I like my tea cold. And we're back. Welcome to the duck call room, Hunter Press Play. We're talking about tea and women today. Are you ready, Martin? Yeah, I'm ready. That's an interesting, interesting concept. Brittany, who is on the show,

just like the farmer boy, and I put them out. What do you put out? Everything. Hot women. Hot women? Everything. A lot of tea through the kidneys. He's.

Unbelievable. Brittany just asked Si if he wants his tea hot or cold. Yeah, which is a sin to do it hot. Hunter, welcome back,

by the way, you were out sick. Sorry about that, the other day when we recorded. Is that really sick, though? What?

What he had? I'm not sure. I mean, that's just like too much prune juice. Oh, he had to squirts. Yeah.

Okay. That or like a buffet happened. I don't know which. Well, he's living on his own now so like the questionable meals actually become a thing.

Like you give it the sniff test and you're like, eh, but I think so. You know, it's amazing how much longer leftovers were left over when we were hunter's age. Oh, absolutely.

I can talk. I found my mic. Oh, boy. He's like, I got to stick up for myself. I do. No, but you don't.

I mean, you are, you just got an apartment. I did. I did. So you're no longer at the family. So now, like,

you got real budget. decisions to make. And sometimes that 10-day-old takeout is like, you know, I think it'll be okay. You know what I remember about when I moved out my first apartment, that two-liter Coke bottle, spitting Copenhagen in that two-liter Coke bottle. Oh, Goldwater good.

And wait until it got slam full before we threw it away. Yeah. Oh. Mm. Mm. Mm. Oh. Every now there, somebody had those cigarette butt in there.

Oh. Oh, good. My buddy snacks would fill, my roommate snacks would fill a Gatorade bottle, and I thought that was gross, but two leaders is a lot more. I got, whoa, blah, blah, you had a buddy named Snacks? Yeah, my roommate Snacks in college. Why was his name Snacks? I mean, that's his real name?

No, his name, oh. No, no, his nickname, everybody called him Snacks. Okay. I'm going to let you, you know, determine why. Max is a big guy. Yeah. Yeah. He lost a lot of way.

I think he's a doctor now. Like our man, lunchbox. I mean, you know, there are some names. I just snacks. That's an interesting one. It's a good one. Snacks had a lot of snacks. What was he from?

Bass Strip. Bass. Yeah. Good name for a dog. And there's a lot of things checking out. Okay. Oh, goodness. There it is.

Yeah, he dipped a lot, though, in college. Did he? He would fill the bottle up and I'd be like, bro, I can't do this. Was he a flavor guy, like winter green or something? I don't remember. But it was just preparing me for my time with Willie. Yeah. You ever taking a plug out of one that you didn't know was a

spit bottle. Yep. There's a, whoa. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're gross. Me too, buddy. Y'all are gross.

We paid a kid to drink snack. I thought smoking. Oh, man. No. Good. You ain't ever taking a plug off of? No. Oh.

No. Willie did it to me on purpose. Oh. Oh. That's how. I had a glass of tea or something. Uh-huh. And it was right.

And I, he swapped them. Yeah. And I wasn't looking and it hit the lips and I ran, I threw up in the bathroom. It was warm, wasn't it? Yeah. Willie likes to make it grow up. Yeah. Yeah.

I had a case in high school, maybe college. I don't remember of mistaken sonic cups. You know, I had two of them right there. At least it was yours. Yeah, but that don't make it no better. Like I don't got rid of it once. I don't want it again. And, yeah.

Yeah. Oh, my God. But that's truly, I mean, I think a southern, almost like right of passage, you get the wrong cup. And you, you, then we see, we see what you're made of. I think every dipper at one point has done that. I never dip, but I've done that, which is, that makes, all right. Oh, it's nice.

Oh, it's terrible. We've upset, Si. Dick ain't worth. It ain't the word. Well, you know what he thinks about spitting anyway. Oh, sir? Yeah. Oh, no.

I, I, I, there's been a time. that he's getting him right and you know it could have been a bad situation over spitting oh yeah because it ain't no fault in my oh oh oh oh oh okay hey there wasn't no thought the next thing you seen was hey you're gonna knock him out by the hair and he was a rag dog just you pulled it by hair i'm like this go and the next thing i was doing okay Look, this is at church. Oh. Okay.

I said, where's your husband? I looked, found the wife, the mom. I said, where's your husband? Because I don't want this to turn into a killing. Oh. I said, but that boy just done the nicest thing you can do to another human being. So that's your ultimate sign of disrespect. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. It's up there. I don't disagree. Pretty bad. Yeah. That are spitting in a trash can. Johnny D's got a sign at the honey hole. I can confirm.

I saw that yesterday. Do not spit in my trash can. Them old dudes, they would sit, they'd be there before I get there at nine and the six to nine crew is kind of a rough crew. And they'd just be spitting in the trash can. Well,

I got to take the trash out every night. So I left the sign up one night. Yeah, that said, if you spit in this trash can, we're wrestling in the parking lot when I get here. Yeah. And I haven't had that problem since.

except there was this one dude I think Stone just said he's going to go spit in that trash I ain't going to wrestle Stone I heard the I was just thinking about what Phil does he just spits on the floor at the layer I've seen Willie spit in his warehouse

not since it's been remodeled I said did you just spit on the floor that's just because he ain't been here oh speaking of that I had I just I didn't even noticed I knew all the work would be a done but I never went through hey y'all have upgraded big time and it is really nice

y'all haven't done anything well you all still got the same off as he had well i'm just saying hey addition is fabulous that's that's how you know they are really everything is really nice when did you go through this just a while ago sigh has been here at least twice a week for the past year and just now walk through well hey look he goes to the back door walks in here and leaves Yeah, he had to go take a leak or something So that's why he got to wander

They said they need him in the kitchen Ah So I went through Hunter went and I was following Hunter So I went through the other nice offices Everybody's got you Yeah, the kitchen remodeled Actually was me. Yeah, that actually was me

That was my idea That was hey y'all have really made it nice Yeah Yeah looks good I had leftover backsplash Now we still did it on a budget Like that same backslash I got in my house because I bought too much of it.

I was like, hey, y'all take that stuff, put it up there. And they did. And, you know, everything. We still on a budget, kind of. Got rid all the riffraff. It looked really good. It made it nice. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. It's, it's, uh, I got rid of all the riffraff. I was just speaking of myself. Yeah, no, a bit of a stretch air. Hunter's got a nicer office than I had, which is mildly upsetting. It could have been nice. Hey, it's like the judge. Hey, when Harry moved in my old office, they fumigated it.

and redid the floors and everything. I said, Harry's office is nice. Yep, that is true. Same one you were in. But you, you, you, you cohabitated with a Gimber for a while. Yeah, and then all his, all of his fowleness rubbed off on me and the stuff started piling up. Was that what it was? Yeah, I'm in a claim.

Then I lived beside him for a second. And I said, okay, we've got to change this. Oh, man. Gimber and stuff. Well, then Gimber does have. have some robbers. That's a deep subject with a shallow mind. What is?

Well, Hey, by the way, I got a ball. I've been meaning to talk to you. Oh, what have I done now? He started with a bone to pick and then changed it.

Well, because I was going to say bone to pick with him. It wasn't him because he's not the one that bagged up all his crap and put it in my office. His wife is the one did that. Oh, yeah. The fat checker. But here's my issue.

What happened? The other day, I got bored and went through what she had packed up and put in my office. So Christine just packed up? Here's my question. What did you find? Like seven pairs of waiters that still had the stickers on them. Oh, my goodness. And the problem is you're the only person that wears a size 10.

So I can't even use them for nobody else's. So. Hey, yeah, you can. What? Down the cliques. Well, that's where I took them. Because once I realized. your bag of hunting clothes, which I was like, hey, there you go.

I'm wearing a 10. You don't want none of these. I mean, we got the better options now. But I just never knew that I gave you all those waiters through the years and you never even took the tag. Hey, look. No, no, here's the thing. Y'all, every year, they say, hey, come up here and get your stuff. You still had a brand new of duck commander waiters.

How long ago was that bad? 12 years probably? That was before me. That's what I'm saying. 11, 12 years? Well, you got to understand. Okay. With me, you know, some of that stuff is so hard to get into.

Yeah. That I'm wore out by the time I put it on, so I can't even feel like going on. That's not. Them old knee uprene, they'd cut you in half. But these were just the breatherable ones from way back with. 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 Tritels Beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sal 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 Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales 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 Triedails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat either, folks. Yeah.

Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. I mean, it was just, I was like, what is in all these bags? I take it out, pair of waiters, take it out, pair of waiters, took it about, fair wait. So, Christine? And then there was one bag of fancy Western shirts that apparently. unless you had had enough of a size. I'm interested in selling those.

I haven't heard from Clay if he found them yet or not. Okay. I was wondering because I went there and looked the other day, and I said, wait a minute, I used to have a lot of stuff that went with my hat and my boots. What in the world happened? And look, I was being nice calling them fancy. Because we did something.

Hold on now. We did something and ended up being at auction. And I'm sitting there, and I looked and I said, wait a minute. I said, that looks like my old pair of boots that I dare, you know, I said, wow, hold it. That's a coat that I really like. And it's all yours. I said, what is going on here, guys?

And they said, hey, look, all I know is your wife brought all this stuff and said, hey. And they auctioned it all? Yeah. I'm in an Asian shirt for eBay. And I said, hey, wait a minute. That ain't for sale. Give me that. Okay.

And that ain't for sale. This is eerily similar to the first episode of Duck Dynasty, right? I'm just telling it. It was crazy. I, yeah. So Christine just got tired and just dropped all of size stuff in your office? A bunch of trash bags. Oh, yeah, no, no.

He brought and put it in my office. Yeah. Because used to, okay, for, you know, until she's got to go, I couldn't even get in one of the closets. Okay. Well, you should be able to get in there now, buddy. Because of just what you said. There were a darn pair of waiters.

I was just stud. They all still had tags on them. I was like, here's what's funny. He doesn't even hunt nine times a year anymore, and he had nine pair of waiters. Well, when I gave those two,

him, he hunted a lot. That's what's amazing about it. All of the time, we changed, uh, sponsors, sponsors,

yeah, we changed sponsors, well, everything got to be due. That's true. Then it's, everyone it would go through, you know,

they'd look at Phil and say, Phil. There's no, long who's a sponsor we can't wear that Phil's a nightmare when it comes to that by the way. He said, what are you going to do? It's one of my favorite, I'm close. One of my favorite jacket.

That's stupid jacket. That stupid jacket and them dead gum hip boots. That's a good jacket. Have caused me more grief from people than they ever should have. Nobody wears those hip boots. Because they got them stupid beaver insoles. He killed a beaver and made insoles out of them.

Because you know, you can't take them and put in something else. I'm just sad. I just take them out. Don't take them out to put him in another. No, no, don't fit right. Hey, don't mess with that. Don't fit right. That's one of there, you know.

Oh, boy. He dug them out of the dumpsters. Stone threw them in the dumpster. And he went and dug them out because he was on a rampage looking for his beaver insoles. Yeah. That is cool, though. What's that? Beaver insol.

It is, and they're totally transferable. Yeah, you can take them out and put them in a new fare. I don't understand the issue. He's a seamstress. He made them perfect for those boots. I know, yeah, that's what it was. He had them more than they. It was perfect, and he didn't want to mess with them.

But that's just Phil Robertson in a nutshell. If it fit in it, it won't fit in nothing else. I'm telling you, that ain't, he argued with me until he was blue in the face that the two Benelli, Super Black Eagle threes were different shotguns. Because that one's black and it's better than that camouflage. I'm like, it's the same shotgun. The exact.

with a different pattern. Shotgun. One of them's painted and one of them ain't. So according to Phil, an unpainted shotgun's better? In his mind, the one that I gave him. I think I'm going to die on that hill with him.

I like it. I don't know why. I'm just saying it was just, I mean, they were the exact same shotgun. And he argued with me. I always think of the cameraman, he nicknamed.

Oh, no leg. Oh, no leg. He backed. Them old hitwaters, they finally started leaking. praise God but you know my feet ain't cold they got beaver insults and I can hear him now he'll justify keeping leaking hip boots that's right thanks I mean that's just I need to get him to make me a pair of beaver shoes just for fun that sounds awesome that's a hey that's a piece of fur now

a beaver pelt but I mean we can't say done Christine texted me the other day I can you get size some more of these shoes again again it has been yes he said he just just glued the souls back on the last pair he's got. As a man holding the shoe now, there's a lot of super glue here. Yeah. Hey, that's wood glue. That's all I had. Okay.

I wonder, look, I've just three, I've had to throw three of these away. Because, hey, the other day, I was walking, and I said, yeah, it feels like a rock in my shoe. As I get a rock myself, so I took it off, and I couldn't find the rock. It was in my chair. It doesn't fell out. I just leaned back and it doesn't fell out. I have a hole. Let's big around the bottom of this thing.

If only you made enough to get new shoes. That's insane. Oh, no, no. These are so comfortable, though. They're slip-ons. Well, sigh, guess what? They're not here yet. But they're on the way.

But thanks to the fine folks of eBay, I found you a pair of size tens just like them. You bought Buck Commander slide-ons on eBay? No, I bought the Duck Commander. ones. No Buck Commander ones in a size 10 were to be found, but I did buy... I'm worried that, like, you bought them from my mom.

Well, there ain't no way it should take that long to get here then. She has a lot of because they shipped out. I may have, that hat may have come from her. It showed up pretty quick. Oh. I bought a Duck Commander hat off eBay, too. Is this your new hobby? No, Jordan.

Well, I went through the paces to get a new pair of shoes and I said, you know, just for funds he's let's Jordan you still got an eBay account right and he's like yeah so we got on eBay and typed in size 10 duck commander shoes and there was one pair on all of eBay one pair 23 dollars what I paid for that's $23 you ever spent where was it at I have no idea I don't where they coming from man there's a lot of stuff on eBay from duck commander hey there's a bunch from Buck Commander too because I looked up the Buck Commander shoes just to make sure who that suitcase

Remember the suitcase? Oh yeah, the luggage. There's one of them for $42. Well, that's a, that's a travesty because those suitcases lasted like one trip for me. Oh, I like that suitcase. The camouflage one? No, oh, I have a green one.

Oh, yeah. Camouflagemen like self-destructed after two trips. It ain't doing great, but look at these. Oh, those are size 11. Sorry, I'm going down to eBay Trail. He may can make him make 11's working, shovel a little paper in the toe of them or something. I mean, the man put wood glue on his shoes for crying out loud.

There's no telling what he'll do to make them work. Yeah, you know you were on TV, right? What? You know you were on TV? No, I don't know that. I mean, you go get you some new shoes. Hey, I never think about that. Yeah.

Gristhen sent me a picture of him gluing his shoes back together. Can you get some more of these? No, no. I was what I'm right. I said something I was telling Liz my maid. I said, hey, check the cause. I thought I had three four pair of these. Well, there weren't any in those bags.

No, no, but anyway, she checked. She said, no, you've got only one, and they're the rubber. Okay, for shallow water. Yeah. And they ain't no good. They're too heavy. Too heavy. Those are heavy.

I've got those. Those were heavy. Yeah, they, they too heavy. Plus, you know, they're too little. Okay. Too low. Them ain't going to keep your feet from getting wet. Well, what are those going to do?

Well, no, no. These are slippers for just for wearing a bout. Yeah. Every day. I'm about saying, if you got wood glue on the soles, they ain't keep any feet dry either. Here's the funny thing. I've got to always, when I get ready to put them on,

I've got to pick that stupid cat I've got off of my shoes. He loves these stupid things. I didn't smell. No, I'm serious. He's sleeped on my shoes with his head. Look, with his head. With his head and nose right here. Yeah, he's trying to find that fish.

Yeah. I bet you're trying to find. He loves that dead pop. Yeah. Dead boss. My cat is still crazy. Honor, are you taking notes on how to live on a budget?

There you go. Yeah. Sal, why don't you just get you? I grew up poor. I know how to live on a budget. No, no. My cat has got a foot sock fetish. A foot sock fetish.

Look, I get home. Dangerous road. When I get home and kick my shoes off, the first thing's going to happen, the sweet peas are going to run under and stick his head on my foot. and I sit there for like 30 minutes catching his ear with my toes. Well, that sure sounds like one of you has a fetish,

but I don't know that it's sweet. He does. He does. The cat loves my feet and socks. What do y'all do to that cat? I don't know. He goes and locks himself in the cabinet. I don't know, but that cat's got more issues

than any human being I've ever met. I've met a lot of them that had a lot of issues, but no. You reckon it comes from who he's surrounded by? Well, hey, that is a thought. It's part of the people. may have an impact on what causes all of his problems. What made you a cat person instead of a dog person? Well, all of the dogs kept getting run over.

It was too sad. Okay, I had to mourn them. You know, because they get under your skin. So, okay, you're going to lose them. The last one I think I lost was Merlin. Merlin. That's the dog he had when I started here. Hey, guess what got him?

Battlesnake. Yeah. It's sad. A snake that has a fang width That's why Merlin was a G He was a What was he?

A weany dog Allison had a weeny dog growing up Oh they're one weeks The recliner got him That's why I can't laugh at that stuff That's why it's a struggle for her to get a new dog Because if a recliner take out your weenie dog

As a kid that's a rap on dogs Pretty much the rest of your life That's sorry you My man got by a recliner. No, no. The other day? Let me ask her what that dog's name was. Look, the other day, I'm getting out of my recliner,

and it's automatic where you push the button. You know, you're a recline, you push the button, it goes back down. That one don't stop for dogs. Oh, hey, it went down the other day, and I hear, wow, wow. Okay. Christine had her foot stuck in. Oh, no.

Pete P. Pete was under my recliner, and I've got him jammed. to the floor. You just said he had a foot fetish. Hey, he was under your recliner. Now, now I've got to let my recliner down. I got to look, make sure he's not under it anymore. How slow is this cat?

Huh? Them automatic recliners take two years to go down. Hey, it was too, he's too slow because, hey, that thing out here, and he started looking like he thinks to bite somebody, and I'm the only one in on it. When I show up and I got one of them chairs that goes up the steps on his porch, I'm going to die. Hey, does this recliner also stand you up? Oh, yeah.

All the way. All the way. My grandmother just got one of those. She just puts the button and she stands up now. Just don't be in a hurry when you go to get out of them lift chair. We barred her friends for Brittany whenever she had the boys because of the how big the C-section score was. She had two kids. It's understandable.

And her like trying to get out of the. Also, how old are your friends? well they were older they had they had one well I love it they have it sits back with around the Robertson house oh it's always something's going to happen

you almost got sweet people with the oh yeah I like to crush him to look I mean it went all the way down and hey he's pinned to the floor and he don't like it okay because hey the chair he's kind of where his foot down

right in his stomach okay and he a camera in size living room would either scar us for life or be the only rate the highest rated show on TV the only reason i did get bit is that he had it in any pen now but i'm telling you otherwise he'd a bit of out of me how'd you let him out oh hey i finally i've just you know raised it up hit up yeah i don't don't know if you had to step back because it was like a caged animal at that point oh it's good I hear me because I, y'all. So you got all the way out of the chair before you realized it was sweet.

Oh, my goodness, y'all. Then I had to go back and just push the button. And he says, I don't know why that cat's got more issues than any human being I've ever met. I love this guy, man. I love that you're a crazy cat person who scratches it with your toes for 30 minutes when you get home. But the cat's the one. But the cat's the one with a problem. Hold on.

And look, right. Then, then after that, the hour goes by, okay. I'm recline, okay. He walks around and gets it on the side over here. When he looks up at me, I know what's coming. Okay, then he jumps up.

It's so funny. He gets in my lap. Before he lays down, he kind of looks up at me like, okay, you can begin massaging me. So then, Hey, he lays there for about an hour. He'll finally just get sick of him and I have to kick him off of him.

You're done. Get away from me and don't come back. I'm done with you. I got a routine with Sweet Pea like we got with a boy. My blue jeans where I've been petting him are just a black ball of hair all over my legs. Okay. How old is Sweet Pea again? Like 40?

About 14. Good. So he's 140. in cat ears is cat ears the same as dog years I got nine lives I've never had a cat in my life oh they're a hoot

my wife is like deathly allergic to cats and she's afraid of getting a dogs I mean before I get a cat I'm gonna get a turtle or something that's what's so funny about Jason I just ain't a guy Robinson is allergic to fish what yeah

allegedly lime yeah yeah He wallowed in it for what, 25 years? Got to be a scaled fish. He's not allergic to catfish. Well, I'm talking about how he's scale fish he is. He allergic to the slime on it. Huh? You ain't ever seen the man clean crappie?

Yeah. We're wearing gloves. Yeah, he can't get it on him. Really? Like a face mask almost? He'll wrap like a towel around his head. Yeah, okay, yeah. Does he like break out and hives?

I don't know. I've never seen it happen. but he reminds me to people. No, he gets sick. If he don't put on gloves in the faceway out. He reminds me to people I say eating crawfish with gloves on. I'm like, well, then why are you here? You know.

That's like Clint Eastwood. Clean Eastwood is allergic to horses. What does he do for a living? Makes Western Cowboys move. Say he's on the horse. And he allured to the horse. We're fact. He's allergic to it because, hey, you don't ever know it.

He's got his nose. stuff with cotton bottles. You gotta make a living. That's why he always looks so angry. You got to make a living somehow. He had a stow on his face because he was about to die from horse fur and he had to sit on it.

Yeah, and that's all he's ever done is rode horses. Gidea. That's pretty wild. That is different. That's crazy. Is he? Yeah, he is.

I was just curious. I wonder when that. That was on a PBS or Weather Channel special at some point. I just wonder when that revelation happened to him. Like, man, I mean, surely you wouldn't start out wanting to do Westerns if you're allergic to horses, right? I'm afraid of horses and I ain't doing Western. I ain't get nowhere near no horse.

Some things are too big. I like I got hung for horse steak. Huh? I was a teenager. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah. No. I was actually accused of stealing the horse.

But that was just y'all playing, right? No. No, no, it was for real. You don't remember this story? One had said I could use and ride his horse any time I choose to. So, hey, I did. So he chose. I know.

I'm fishing on a pond about three miles away from the house. Some kids come up and says, hey, they fix the hang of you for horse staff. And I said, what? The year was 1758. Yeah. In quaint town just outside of Massachusetts. Hey. Was Matthew McConnor, hey, your lawyer?

Oh. The old farmer said, hey, you stole his horse. And I said, no, I didn't steal his horse. I said, well, hey, he's talking about getting the law right now. They're going to hang you. And I said, well, let me go back and see if I can straighten this out. What time machine did you go on to do this? I didn't know a old time.

Gene. Well, that's, hey, growing up at Dixie, Louisiana. They were hanging people for a horse thing? Well, hey, no, no, no. Not horse. Haas. Hoss. Hoss.

That's right. Stole a horse. They're going to hang you. That's not. That's a movie that you watched and then you thought it was your real life. Nope. Nope. Because when I was riding the horse back, I liked to kill the horse because I was running.

He stumbled, okay, and lacked him. We like to done a flip. I yanked his head. up when he stumbled. Otherwise, he'll fail. I just got a revelation, by the way. My man's lived like seven lifetimes in one. And so is his cat.

I mean, I just... I did just get a revelation, though, from Allison. The dog that's neck got crushed by the recliner, its name was Ethan. Ethan. You can't give a dog a human name and then crush it with a recliner and ever recover from that.

Ethan? Did it kill the dog? Yeah, it killed the dog. Who looked at the dog and said, man, he looks like an Ethan. Wait a minute. Ethan? Who killed the dog with a reclass? Allison's dad, set up.

Allison just got a puppy. It was like a week old. But if that just goes to show before when the Bible says there's nothing new on the sun, it's not. Nameing a dog Ethan is. A dog been crushed by a recliner. A dog went crushed by a recliner. I mean, I feel like he's like ready to go to college. Like Ethan?

Hey, that's my... People name stuff like Willie is the only acceptable dog name and human. Right? Like if you name your dog Willie, that makes sense. But like there's not many dog and human names, right? If you scratch his butt, he'll wag his tail. Barney's okay.

That's a big purple dinosaur. I just think it's weird. I had a friend who, her dog's name was Todd. Todd. Yeah, Yaw wouldn't have a dog name. dog named Todd. Yeah. I had a dog named Bullitt.

See, Bullitt's a dog, we got to work on people. Why we named him bullet? I'm afraid to ask. I had about, hey, faster than a speed and bullet. Oh, okay.

That dog was fashion. Yeah, I've got a questionable past with animals, so I didn't know if he was named before or after. I just question people that would, and now I found out as my wife. I didn't know the dog's name was Ethan. Ethan.

Like, get a Rocco. Or a rocky. Biscuit. Biscuit's a good dog name. Dingo. Dingo, hold on. Dingo was one of the greatest dogs of all time. Best stray ever.

Do you remember Willie's dog Dingo? Nope. That thing ran the neighborhood and was in charge of everything. That wouldn't die. Till it did. Wait a minute. What kind of dog was Dingo? No one will ever know.

Heinz 57. A mixture? Louisiana short hair and she's a feeder. Yeah, there you go. That one. That one right there. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, dingo was, he was a conglomeration of things. What did he look like? Because I don't remember. Yeah, I got a half dingo. A little brown thing. I got a half dingo at the house. You do? Yeah.

A healer. Okay. They're a half dingo. Blue healers all? Yep. I didn't know that. They didn't tell that. You got a.

Don't she have like a big golden doodle or something? Yeah, the thing is worthless. Jeff and Jessica got too. Don't ever get a dog. with a doodle in it. That was the greatest episode of Duck Dynasty. But his was an actual poodle. Dumb and dumber.

His was a full-blooded poodle. His was a full-blooded poodle. Yeah, when you start mixing them, they... Oh, my God. When you get doodles instead of poodles? They struggle. Yeah, my brother got one. You want to talk about a bad pet name.

What's name? Searchlight. That was the dog's name? It is the dog's name. He's still with us. Sertzlight. Yeah. Who named the dog?

My nieces. And I have no idea why, how. Searchlight. I don't know. I like it. My sister's doodles named Charlie. His name what? Charlie.

Human name. They're out. Yeah, but Charlie. I mean, I think any Willie, Charlie, Billy, like, I mean. Can't name a dog, Billy. Why not? Because. Come here, Billy.

If your house catches on fire. Billy. Did somebody go get Billy? Then somebody going to run in their thing and it's a human being and it was just a dog. Yeah. Well, that's fine. He's a family member. The dog needs to be saved, too.

Yeah. And he's a jump out of window then. You can't say that these days. Just a dog. Can't say that. They put you in jail these days. Yeah, I'll get in trouble. It's the good thing, our good friend, Kyle.

Poodles, though. People don't realize. Pudels are an amazing breed of dog. Yeah, when they're left alone. Yeah. Well, no, because, yeah. They're mean, aren't they? They were actually a hunting dog.

They're not nice. Dalmatians are. are mean too. Yeah. Them little weenie dogs are mean. Yeah. Merlin was mean. Wait a minute.

Hold. If you weren't sire Christine Robertson, you stood a 50-50 chance on getting bit. Yeah. I don't know what. What is it about little dogs? They like to bite me. It's because if Ethan would have made it out from that recliner incident, he would have been mean. Yeah, he'd have been pissed.

I dated, I dated a girl, okay, in ice group. Okay. Where's this? Yeah, one of them stupid chihuahuas. Oh, yeah. They're mean, too. And hey. You know who was a chihuahua owner?

Gobwin. Yeah. They had a little yip. I would come in time with her. That stupid dog was always, uh, else one night we sat down on the cat and she said, y'all fix to make friends.

And I said, no, that dog will back me. No, he won't. You got Ben. She said, give me your hand.

That dog's fixed to heat me up. What's up with Jason's dogs, by the way?

He's speaking of little mean dogs. Well, one of them's not mean. Little buddy, he's all right. Say buddy. But little hazel. Is that the names of them dogs? That's the first line of defense. Jason's dog.

Is that that little white one? That's that little fat white one. Hazel. Jason's dogs, both of them, weigh a grand total of six pounds put together. Man, that's the devil. You can't drive past. You can't bike past, you can't walk past. Don't sneak up.

Ben's always going to get away from here, yippy dogs. We call them the yippy dogs. Yeah, that's what they are. But I don't, it doesn't seem like a real Jace dog to me. Jace needs like a bloodhound. Well, Jace ain't a dog, man. The dog's going to survive. He ain't a dog person.

I'll tell you something. If a dog is going to survive living with Jace Robertson, he's got to want it. A dog wants to survive on that street. They got to want it. Dico was the only one that ever did. We're going to go to the emails, but first, we need some encouragement for the fans to send in better emails. Hello at duckcallroom.com.

Send some stuff in. Because, you know, we like to talk to y'all and give the advice. Interesting topics for discussion, too. Yeah. It doesn't all have to be, I like this girl, she doesn't like me, what am I supposed to do? I like this girl, but she's dating my buddy now what? Yeah, that's, you know. I mean, it's always the same.

I mean, they just let you know just how small of towns we are reaching, which is a good thing. Because, I mean, those are our people, right? You know, and, I mean, we're a small town. Dated her and I like her sister. Like, we don't need any more of those. Yeah. But. We can refer you to 350 episodes of those.

So come up with something. I want some new stuff, some new content. And there's a couple of Duck Dynasty questions that are, you know, those are fun every now and again. And Craig was sitting there watching old episodes of Duck Dynasty. Craig. Oh, Craig. And he wants to know if Squirrel is a real person or just some made-up person. No, he was.

I mean, he's no longer with us. He passed away. Squirrel died? He died. Yeah, he died. I didn't know that. He died way back. I mean, it's been several years ago.

but they used to have a motorcycle shop, squirrel and sherry's motorcycle shop. For a while it was called Tramps, and then they thought better they renamed from Tramps motorcycle shop down there on New Nacchadish. They renamed it to Squirrel and Sherry's. So that was his woman. But yeah, no, squirrel is a real deal. Real deal. I knew him my whole life. I never met Squirrel.

Because my grandparents live right down the road on New Nacchitis from them. So he would always come walking down, garden time, getting watermelons and all that kind of stuff. Oh, squirrel. Yeah, now I don't know that that was his given name, but that's what everybody knew him as. Nicknake. Hold on. I ain't no way a man's name was squirrel. Buddy, this place ain't that big, and I wouldn't be surprised.

So I can't confirm nor deny. Better than scone. One of my close friends' name is Pistol. Hunter, you're from a weird part of town. Is he a dog? The same part of town as y'all. Is he a dog? No.

It's a real guy. Is he from Texas? Nope. he was born right next to Phil's house. Anyways, I think people wonder that though because they see Duck Dynasty and they see Phil McMillan, you know, he's a little different on this podcast. But all the people were real people.

Yeah, squirrel was the only thing I knew him by. I didn't know Mountain Man's real name was Tim for a hot minute. I didn't even know he had a real name. I don't know how to say his last name, but I know his first name is Tim. Gerardi. Yeah, okay, there you go. Yeah, he's from Tim, aka Mountain Man, is from way down south, below I-10. Oh, I thought he was from Tennessee.

Well, that too. I did, too. He's got a nephew after Hurricane Katrina. His nephew was actually in my class at school because he never went back down south after. Oh, okay. And so, yeah, he got family. So they run him off from the marsh. So Mountain Man, Mountain Man got a lot of mixtures of questionable in him.

Oh, yeah, he had dingo. Cajun, the hills of Tennessee. He a mutt. We all mutts, so. Yeah. I mean, that's just, that's a simple fact. We all much. That is true.

And then another email comes in from Beth, who is sitting right over there. Oh. She offers a great question. Okay. You know how you have to tip people? Yeah. Who are we tipping? Who should we be tipping that we don't tip?

Uh-oh. That's an interesting one. Uh-oh, Martin's against tipping. I really am. Yeah. I think it should be included in the base price and that those people should have a higher hourly wage. That's what I think.

I don't think you should be rewarded for doing your job. Like, I mean, you sign up for this job. I don't get tip. I mean, you can put a jar on your desk. But what stops us from tipping everybody? I got a tip the other day. That's what I don't understand. Why not just adjust the hourly wages to not have to depend on tips per se?

And then everything is just, it's, you know. Don't most restaurant do what you just said? No. No, they pay them nothing and they have to work for their tips, which is fine if you're, I mean. Yeah, but it stinks because some people are bad tippers. Yeah, some people, you can give them the best service they want and they're still going to tip like trash. I made it as a waiter for two whole week.

But I'm saying just pay them more, pay them what their average tip out is per hour and then call it good. And then up your prices and we pay a flat. The last table I ever waited, it was $43 and $50. But I'm not just talking about servers, by the way. And he left $44 on the table. And I walked back, I said, sir, you forgot your change. And then I went in the office and said, friend, manager, Mr. Sir, I'm going to go mow yards now.

That's where I belong. I can't do this anymore. Yeah. But Allison was a waitress at the Red Lobster for a long time. Brittany, that's all, Brittany has a long history of serving jobs. And I'll tell you, I mean, she was great at it. But you should be a good tipper because that's not the rule. Yeah, that's not the, that's not the rule.

I like where your head's at. I try to be fair on all of them. Like, I mean, I'm not ever going to leave you less than 15%. I never. I don't care how. The ones that I get questions on is like to go orders. Like you order out and they got a little deal like, do you want a tip? I'm like, because I came and got it?

No. I don't. like, I mean, I will, because now I feel pressured because there's tip line there, but, you know, now you got to tip your grocery deliverer. Well, that's me, so I tip. You got to get in on it. You got to get in on them deliveries. I don't know, but like all the things.

Just click it and it shows up at your house. To go orders, the carryouts, all the things. Like, if I'm going to actually physically pick it up. Do you tip your pizza delivery guy? I don't do pizza delivery. They're too close to me. You're not living, man. Well, I'm cheap.

Let's call it what it is. I mean, there are two miles from me. If I can't jump in my truck and go get pizza, then my fat butt don't need to be eating pizza. Decent point. I'm just saying. Somebody gave me a tip the other day. It was one dollar.

At the honey hole? You gave you a tip. Yeah. Said keep it. I put line on the rails like four bucks. They're like, here's your five. You did a good job. And I was like, thank you, Mr. Old Man.

There you go. See? I don't know. It's a weird. It's a weird deal. Keep the change. Do you tip people? Most of the time.

Oh, I tip them all when I go. It just is a weird, I don't know, there's a weird, like, pressure thing to it now. It's a weird. I don't like when they're hovering. Yeah, they just kind of sit there. They flip that screen around and look at it. I probably should say all the time.

Because you're in a restaurant. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm saying now you can tip anything. Like, there's tips on all sorts of services where there used to not be a tip. Haircuts. Yeah. Like, didn't he charge them?

me for the haircut? Why do I tip you? That's a weird one. I don't like just up your price. Like if you're saying, man, I'd really like to have 40 instead of 30. Well, charge me $40. And I know what it is to get a haircut. It's $40 to get a haircut? That's on the low end. Of a lot of things. And if a woman

goes and gets hers done. I don't even want to know what the price is. That's a don't ask, don't tell situation. It makes you wonder what happened. Yeah, stay off a rocket money on that one. You're going to look like, say, good night a little. I legitimately don't know how much Allison spends on her hair. Yeah, I just don't understand. I don't just up your price and then get rid of the tip because then they get on griping and nobody's tipping them.

Well, then just up your price. I'm putting out a tip jar this afternoon and seeing what I can get. The price is the price. I just, I don't know. Tips are like taxes. Just put it in there and call it good. Like, you're going to pay for the service if you wanted it or not. So just put it there and let's just all agree to get along.

Like, you know, and then if you want to go extra because they went above and beyond, well, then by all means, you can do that. Yeah, the fact that they're getting paid like $2 an hour is ridiculous. And I've tip servers before, but twice my bill, because, you know, like sometimes sit there, get to know them, they got a terrible story or something goofy happened in their life. And you're like, hey, man, here's a couple hundred bucks. God's been good to me. Like, here, let me pay it forward.

Like, it comes down to an individual. Yeah. What's going to do. Yep. Yeah. That depends on how you look at it. Yeah, I never, I mean, I just think back on jobs I had. Loading that Quick Creek, nobody ever slid me a five.

Like, it was just the price of the Quick Creek and the loading came with it. Like, you know what I mean? Like, which is fine. I didn't expect nothing. That was your job. Yeah, that was my job. I didn't expect anything. I was getting paid $8 an hour to do what I did.

That's fine. Quick rate. Hard pass on that. Just saying. And hey, you shouldn't have no reason to grab because, hey, you agreed to it. Yeah. And I didn't gripe. I knew what I signed up for.

But if you're good looking, you're going to, get way more tips and if you ain't. Well, that's true. That's why Allison was a waitress and I worked at the Super 1. There you go. Stacking apples. And I was a lion cook. Oh, yeah.

Well, send us out of here. Proverbs 1125. A generous person will prosper. Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Be sure to tip your waitress. There you go. Yeah.
