What's up with the monkeys? I don't know, but I love it. I saw Stephen Ridley post about it last night. I'm trying to figure out where Stephen Ridley lived. Who's Stephen Ridley? Former running back for LSU. What's going on with the monkey? One, however many Super Bowls running the ball for Tom Brady.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That Ridley. Yeah. I thought he was... He had read, man. Ridley's beauty. Then I saw there was a monkey and a spirit Halloween running around, running a muck. And you would expect it to be fake being in that store.

What people don't know is that monkeys will kill you. Like, they're not as safe. Especially if I got hepatitis C, COVID, and whatever else, all these monkeys from Tulane, Howard. Wait. Cy, have you not hurt? Apparently, we've started. Yeah, we're running.

It started the clock. We were just having. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We were having just. A monkey epidemic going on? There's a lot of news out there. Well, a monkey, a monkey truck crashed. A guy tagged me on.

How come things keep happening that have happened? in the movies? I don't know, man. We got a monkey truck crashing. They get out. Who knows what's about to start? People stealing stuff from the museum out there in France. I've been to that museum.

The Louvre. The Italian. I actually had an exhibit in that museum. They roped it off and everything. For you? Yeah, puked. I was not feeling well. They, like, take pictures of it?

Like, was it abstract art? They just roped it off while some guy mopped it up. And then I walked by Mona Lisa. See ya. Why did you puke? This was a truckload of. monkeys did crash 40 monkeys going somewhere Tulane was sending monkeys somewhere

I don't really know they had hepatitis C COVID oh they had they injected the monkeys with these they got a bunch of study monkeys yeah or were they just sick oh that's worst case scenario well I've already learned that people take all sorts of animals to the veterinarian this is how planet of the ape started again

why are we are we perhaps living in a simulation Well, that was going to be my question. Is it possible? Who's controlling me? Once a day, I feel like, y'all got something going on, man. Look, I have a friend that tries to, you know, he's big on the, oh, this is a simulation. My thing is, if it is, why did my life have to suck so bad? Like, could we not have programmed something a little bit better?

Did you have not just turned it off? Right. That's what I'm saying. Like, hard reboot, please. Oh, this guy, his life is going to suck. Could you believe? have control alt deleted me a few times whoever's in charge of my version of the truman show just keep this thing running yeah you're doing pretty good having an all right time here on planet earth

i'm talking about bc oh yeah i'm not talking about a d i'm talking about bc so well yeah beforehand yeah i definitely now keep it running i mean we've got there yeah we're fine but yeah some guy matthew irvin uh send it on instagram said y'all got to look at these monkeys that escape from the truck Well, let's look at it. Is he related to Michael? I think I saw last night there's only one left. If he's related to Michael Irvin, then I'm related to Terrell. Can you imagine the people in central Mississippi?

Because I think that's where it happened, somewhere around the hatches maybe. If they know, hunting season's open and there's one monkey to kill. It's a bad time to be that monkey. Oh, you got to be the guy that tags that monkey. Oh. And then, yeah, but I mean, is that not like, I know. A human? Well, here's the sad part is if you're in a deer stand,

you see said monkey walk out and you shoot him. They're probably going to try to take you to jail for it. Oh, yeah. There's no rules on monkeys. They'll probably put you in jail. Oh, no, update. Oh. Three monkeys still on the loose.

According to the Associated Press, three monkeys, they've got 21 of them. These monkeys had COVID, hepatitis C, and herpes. Lord, I apologize. But why are you going to give a monkey herpes, man? Also. It just ain't right. If he gets it himself, that's fine. Maybe he did.

If he's a periscuous monkey, that's fine. No, monkeys were living a rough life. He didn't get it himself. I don't know how monkeys were. And we wonder how COVID got started. There we go. Here we go. It was nowhere, then it was everywhere.

I just think it was perhaps a truck full of humans instead of a truck full of monkeys. Oh, boy. We're about to get into some. Oh, they were two-lane monkeys. So they were smart. They were Green Wave, man. I don't know if they were sending them. I don't know if Tulane's on the road this week,

and they were like sending them to a football game or... They're playing Mississippi State. Or, you know, maybe they were trying to get out and save Brian Kelly. I don't really know, man. He could be a monkey king. Well, last year, those... I've been watching Paul Patrol the last two days. It's fine, man.

Oh, yeah. Like one weird one about a crown and a monkey king or something. I don't know. Last year, the monkeys escaped from South Carolina. there was 43 of them. How do these monkeys can get out? This happens once a year. Because they're monkeys,

these ain't cats. These are monkeys. They got, can we go back to mice? Like, whatever happened to the white mice that, you know. I'm not okay with them giving the monkeys

hepatitis. This is scary. Give it to us, Cy. Yeah, yeah, what about you? Infecting animals with all this crap.

Then they, you know, have a crash. They're loose. Yeah. On the puppet. Yeah. Well, monkeys can use a key, too.

Like, they just turn the door. That is one problem with monkeys. They, in fact, have thumbs. Most things are out because of a lack of a thumb, but not on them. They're just putting these things in an 18-wheeler trailer and like, all right, we're going to haul the monkeys. Sheriff's deputies euthanized five monkeys that got loose. Euthanized a strong term for a sheriff's department. Yeah, they killed them.

Yeah. Euthanized means we shot them. They killed them. And I'm sure somebody represented. and the monkeys. That's bad. That's bad. Three other monkeys that escaped were still loose.

What do you think they're doing right now? I'm trying to figure out why they got herpes. How did this happen? Trying to scratch that itch. They're like, I don't really remember how I got here. I mean, that's a rough lie. The last thing I remember was I was picking a piece of fruit off of a limb. Yeah, the next thing you know.

Yeah, the next thing I got to go on. middle of nowhere Mississippi with herpes. Talk about a bad wake-up. I'm down here. You're in Africa, chilling, having a good time, eating a banana. Next thing you know, you're in the armpit of Mississippi. I end up in Woodville, Mississippi, next to Illusions, the Gentleman Club on Highway 61, and I got herpes.

Right. That's a story as old as time. Well, I was going to say that's a story many humans could tell. Oh, only around these parts. That's weird, y'all. You couldn't at least give the monkeys like a bush light? I mean, at all the things you could give them monkeys, you gave them herpes. Parting to sunk up on this, y'all.

That's just wrong, man. I got to ask, I got a lot of questions to ask of why we did that. And why are those three diseases traveling together, one? Like, well, I mean, you could, one could argue that there's people that suffer from all three of those diseases at the same time. Well, I made Tulane. You were supposed to be a school full of learned doctors. What are we doing, Tulane? Like, I was actually kind of rooting for your football coach to come to LSU,

but now I got some real questions. What is going on in the middle of... And is there not a better way to transport monkeys than in an 18-wheeler? That's my thing. Hold on. No, that's the only way to transport 21 monkeys. Is that an 18-wheeler? Let them drive.

Give me a better option. You could fit 40 dudes on a coach bus. I mean, why can't you put 21 monkeys on a bus? What's the different? Put it on his train. If you treated the monkeys better, they wouldn't have ran away. That's right. They didn't run away.

The 18 Wither tumped over and they looked outside and saw trees again and said, this is where I was meant to be. Then they probably started singing songs from a Disney movie and felt alive again for the first time. Depending on how you tell that story, it's either a really, really good, beautiful thing, or it's absolutely terrifying. I hate it got to the point that it did. Sheriff Johnson said, no, you don't.

Well, Sheriff. You just got to go on a safari in Mississippi. You don't hate that, man. But look, hey, look, and then over in Plano, Texas, the people that are not from the South are just thinking we're wild right now. Also, if you're the driver of said monkeys, you left Tulane and you got to Central Mississippi,

but you fell asleep. Is that what they said? That ain't but a few hours down the road. They said that he fell asleep in record. That's what this article says. Oh, my goodness. Oh, no, time out, y'all. We got to move on because there's another monkey in Plano.

Plano, Texas. Plano, Texas. You know, the regular. That's one of them cities around Dallas, right? Yeah, that's part of that big thing. He's in the top of the place. It's one of them cities in that city. Anyway.

He used to live right by Plano. The monkey, there was, you know, them Spirit Halloween stores that pop up for a month and all your run-down grocery stores? A monkey was on the loose in a spirit Halloween. Oh, there's a video. Martin. Oh, wait. Imagine you took the boys to get their Paw Patrol costume and you look up and see this, Martin.

The monkey could be seen climbing pole. Absolutely. That is awesome. But that's somebody's monkey. He got drawers on it. The monkey is wearing a diaper. Oh, dude. Running around, I would have thought it was on purpose.

He's just having a good time. I guarantee you he doesn't have herpes. Oh, that's not intentional? Well, he made up. That might be why I got it covered up. Turn into a... It turns out, though. Why do I have to get to the bottom of this article before they say the driver was mistaken

and that none of these monkeys were actually infected? How come I got to get that fault? Why not lead with that? Why did you lead where they got herpes, hepatitis C? Because to be fair, you two over there have been talking about diseases for 10 minutes and we did get it. It did every article and that's how the media were. They got us. Yeah.

Well, I mean, how can you not? It was the first line of the paragraph, and then you get three quarters of the way down, they're like, no, man, we're just kidding. So these monkeys weren't infected. So they were just happy monkeys. I mean, allegedly, but you know what you don't have to have to hunt monkeys?

A duck stamp? But you know what you got to have to hunt ducks, a duck stamp. And if you need one, hop on over to duckstamp.com slash duck. Get yours today. That's right. Easy. And then that way you can go hunting ducks, but you ain't got to have one to hunt monkeys.

That's right. All right. You can hunt monkeys without it. Yeah. What's wrong, Johnny D? Amen. All right. Look, springtime is here.

It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cooking. And y'all know. We love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedale's beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good.

Our friend, Cy Robertson, would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. 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. What do you have to have to hunt a monkey? I don't know, but they, no, you can't do it here. They've got specialists set up with monkey traps. Right. Hey. Nah, we ain't doing no monkey traps. There ain't no monkey traps in Mississippi. That's a raccoon trap. Hey, don't worry about the deal. Don't worry about to put a pile of bananas on a,

close the wagon. Put some bananas on a corn pile and sit there and wait. They set up traps with food to try and catch the three monkeys. He said deputies have no intentions of euthanizing them. Them monkeys gone, man. You know what that really means? You know how fast and long a monkey can run? That monkey's in Florida by now. Right?

I don't know. Okay. Then boys that broke out of the jail made it to Atlanta quickly. Does it say what kind of monkey? Reesies monkeys. Not Reeseesies, because that'd be way. cooler if they were made out of peanut butter. That's it.

Reesus monkeys. What kind of monkey is that? Are we talking closer to chimpanzee or closer to... What are you telling them? He wants to know what a Reese's a monkey. There's different kinds of monkeys. It's a 16-pound regular monkey. Regulation monkey.

Regulation monkey. That doesn't... That doesn't answer the question. It ain't like a gorilla. Yeah. There's different kinds of monkeys. I was working one of these treatments. and lady that was speaking there works at the zoo, she brought a monkey.

Is that kind of monkey? Just a regular old monkey. Oh, dude. Nothing special about a Reese's monkey. Those are really cool. Nothing special. Look at them. Either a gorilla or either a orangutan.

Look at them. If a gorilla escapes in Mississippi, I ain't ever driving through there again. I kind of always did want a pet monkey. What if one of them makes it like all the way across the river to Angola? Uh-oh. That is worst-case scenario. Actually not. They'll probably take good care of the monkey.

They probably imagine you're in Angola and all of a sudden a monkey hops a fence and now you got it first. And then he walks in with an alligator under his arm. Yeah, okay. As a man who's visited Angola, never stayed. You ain't getting in there even if you were a monkey. Them fences are tall and got a lot of sharp stuff on the top of them.

You don't think a monkey could get in Angola? Oh, yeah. You think a monkey could get out. I think he could. Monkey can get in or out of that joint without them knowing. A monkey could get in. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Now, until a monkey got winged. he ain't getting in there. What could get in Angola? A bad person for doing something bad. Well, you ain't getting in there unless you're on a bus or in a car and you got a badge. That's it. That's it. It's on lockdown.

Except for ducks because they duck hunting on the place. Well, yeah. They can fly over it. So it doesn't have a dome. And it gets white part. Yeah, big dummy. Yeah, how'd the fish get there? And a bunch of other kind of fish.

Oh, they hauled them in on that bus. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, a truck that was allowed in with a tube in the back of it. Yeah. Interesting, man. Also, media, terrible job leading with that they're infected. But then three-quarters of the way down saying they're not infected. That's why you can't trust the media.

I knew, sir, tell them, sir. Because I'm not a- That's why you can't trust the media. I have a hard stance against what PETA actually stands for, but why are we transporting monkeys with diseases? Like, I don't get that. I don't. Well, there's got to be better ways to study this.

too than injecting a monkey full of something. So, but. I think about the driver who, like, crashes his, his truckload of monkeys, and then his immediate response to everyone is they're infected with hepatitis C, COVID, and herpes. I just hate that his defense is I fell asleep. I mean, you're not that far from New Orleans. I mean, you got to-

You had to know this job was coming. I think you got a drug test the driver. I mean, really. Counsel Rucker coming in with the- Time to, here's a cup. I'll see in a second. Yeah, this is standard, I mean. S-O-P, baby.

Yeah, we got to find out. The news is a wild place. Monkeys. I didn't like the sound, dude. Oh, Sall, you went deer hunting yesterday. Did you see any monkeys? Nope. No monkeys?

Because I know Dan the Butler, seen a monkey down there. Also, not as a possum. What he really saw was a big old possum. He might have seen a monkey. It could be. With a big smile. You never know these days.

Well, how was you deer hunt? That's your first hunt of the year, huh? That was a good one. Was it? Yep. I was just given a new rifle, 30, 30. 30. And then, hey, the first day I get a shot at is a nine point.

Well, one sit, one killed. Oh, you killed him. You said shot at, so I didn't know. Oh, I ain't, no hat. You didn't text no picture. Yeah, they did. They did. They'll be out later.

after they put it in or whatever they're going to put it in. Huh. We was watching doles and year lengths, you know, and that's a little bitty thing. And then, Stone says, good, great, look at the size of that deer. As soon as he said, he looked through binoculars, I looked through a 30-th-thusoscope. I said, buck. Buck deer. He says, shoot him.

Yeah. Oh, man. And you popped it? And I popped him. That's 90 yards. Have you eaten them yet? Nope. We've got to leave him hanging 25 days.

25 days? Yeah, 25 days. Huh? Yeah. Seems successful. You let him hang in a cooler. 25 days and then everything will be real tender. You didn't know that record?

I know you leave him hanging. I didn't think you did it for 25 days. No, you can't even go further than that. Stone kind of like them trees on the Lord of the Rings. Anything worth doing worth taking a while to do it. Right. He's going to let it hang for 25 days. When he cooks, it's like six, six.

hours. That's how he operates. And I appreciate it. So a good hunt. We had deer all around us. See any ducks? Nope. You didn't see any ducks.

Do you know, look at that smile. Look at them teeth, man. Look at them teeth. Oh, that's the first thing I was going to do to let your teeth shut. But when I look at him. Oh, yeah. Look at him.

Hey, when I look at it. Oh, yeah. There we go. Hot to Molly. Look at that. I don't even care about the deer That's phenomenal Man, it ain't even dark yet

No, I shot him like the 20 to 6th There you go Good for you man It wasn't much time We went in real early We didn't want to smoke them Look at them teeth out I love it

That is awesome Rucker, what you think about our man's teeth I'm impressed Yeah I think it's good I like you got you some teeth Some new chompers You're able to smile like that

Yeah, it took two hours to pull 13 and then put 24 back. That ain't bad. It was a good trade. I feel like it would take me a lot longer. I'm glad you truck driver didn't crash. And then you get out on the side of the road, you know, looking like a monkey. He didn't have to go through Mississippi to get there. You do, you do this in town?

You got them done here? No. Springfield, Missouri. Okay. Can't get chompers like that just anywhere, man. No, no, those are next level. high dollar chompers. Specialist.

Well, these are the healing teeth. What does that mean? I got to go back two months, three months, whenever this heals up. Then they put the permanent ones out. Oh, those ain't even the final problem. No, no, the only days are the final one. We have done three episodes about your teeth,

and you're just now telling us this. Yeah, we're just not telling us. I thought we were done. Oh, yeah. What are you going to do with those? Huh? They take it. They recycle them.

They let other. They're going to put them on a monkey. No, no, no, no. Ladies and gentlemen, please check out eBay.com slash honeyhole tackle shop for... We'll be selling these teeth. Or update. Oh.

How much you think you could get for size teeth? You know, surprisingly probably more than you should. Right. What's the starting bid there? Cy, would you ever sell your teeth? No. No. You tell you about trash.

No, I'm talking about these. No, I'm amazed at what? the teeth go through in a lifetime. Oh, yeah. So what I had in my head was junk. You know, they were worn, you know. And like when I was young, I brushed my teeth with soda and salt. And literally, I mean, there's four grooves in it because I brushed up too hard.

You brushed your teeth? Oh, bacon soda. Yeah, baking soda and salt. That was, that used to be the white, and you brushed your teeth with that? I bet. I brushed it too hard, too, and four grooves it. Colgate got to taste better.

Oh, yeah. Hey, it happens. Martin, you're going to brush your teeth too hard? I don't think so. Rucker, how often do you go to the dentist? Every time they call me. But I cancel a few times, and then they, So here's the thing, like the dentist office that I go to, people from the church and close friends work there.

So it's like I'm always canceling and then they're always trying to strong arm me up there. You know what I mean? It's like a whole thing. It's a little game that we play, you know. So I actually just went to the dentist last week. Everything all right? Everything's good. I got to get a feeling.

Rucker's the most responsible one out of all of us. That's normal. I don't know if I'd say that. You are when it comes to teeth. Yeah, but I've been, I spent a lifetime of being irresponsible. So now he's just checking in on his teeth and all that. I'm just trying to be a better version today than I once was. You know what I mean?

That's in all areas. The dentist does shame you when you, you know, skip a few years. Yeah. They're like, hey, it's time for your six-month checkup on the text I get. We haven't seen you in four years. And I'm like, yeah. Been busy. Also, you scare me.

Every time I go there, it hurts. Well, I'll tell you what they did is, I mean, it was a blessing. So the first time I went to the dentist in probably 20 years whenever I first got up here, I went to the dentist office and I was getting ready to leave. I'm like, how much do I owe you? They said, oh, it's taken care of. Somebody's taken care of you for your next three visits. Oh, yeah, I too.

So now, now I feel that since I was blessed, I should go. and, you know, continue to take care of my dental hygiene. Oh, I thought she's going to be like in people and drive-thru. You pay for the next people behind you. Hey, I don't know where this. No, this is whenever I first got up here. I wasn't in a position to do that now. You know, I mean?

Now I could bless somebody on their TV, you know what I mean? The drive-through thing's a funny one. Pay it full. Is it? I'm always nervous if somebody pays for mine in front of me that there's like, you know. Yeah, who's behind you? The guy behind you has six kids. What if it's the dashers?

van behind me and I'm like, oh crap. There's a people mover behind you. Yeah. Oh, man. But you know how that always happens? I got this one friend. He will not, he's like, nope, they're trying to bless me. I don't know who's behind me.

And he would just take it and smile and say, God bless the person in front of me and keep going. I'm like, really? Is that okay? It's a hot topic of conversation. That's interesting. I haven't been the recipient of one of them. You haven't? But I don't eat a lot of fast food.

I mean, I was at Chick-fil-A this morning because the boys, would not go with their mama that had to be dad. Go daddy's truck. I was like, all right, whatever. Well, they knew they was going to talk you into that Chick-fil-A stop. Oh, they don't care. I mean, I don't care if they'll eat. I mean, bacon and eggs from Chick-fil-A.

It's the wildest thing. Have they heard about their chicken? Not interested. Not interested. They want that bowl full of eggs that Chick-fil-A offers. It's the craziest thing. It's the healthiest option. That's good.

I don't know. They like it. They like the eggs in a bowl. Won't touch a chicken mini. I eat very healthy for breakfast today because I'm going to come clean about something. I got to get this off my chest. Hey, this is a safe space. Yesterday I had a gas station meat pie for breakfast.

Praise God. And then for dinner I had gas station fried chicken. It's not even duck season yet. You're over at TV, man. Good for you. I was running later. Did you wash that baby down with a Christmas tree cake? Come on.

No, I did. I'm on. I stayed away from the Christmas tree cake. I woke up, was going to work. I was like, I got to stop the gas station. I saw that meat pie said, why not? I had it. And then I didn't eat lunch, and then Allison and the kids were off doing something last night.

I'll say this, a breakfast meat pie is a risky choice because you don't know if they cooked it that morning or it sat there all night. Yeah, because that gas station 24-7. Yeah. But that meat pie was good. And then I was going home. I didn't have anything to eat. And I was like, I'm about to go walk back into the same gas station and eat dinner. And man, I hope it's a different person working.

Yeah. It was. It was. Good, good. Is how you like a meat pie? Mm. Burnt. Best thing ever come out of city in Akadish, the meat pies.

I don't know of anything else that came out of the city. Well, they got them Christmas life. No, chicken pot pie ain't. Oh, you got a young and you'll go now. Yeah, I'm about to recycle all those, you know, fun things of doing that stuff. You know, I hadn't had to do any of that in a long time. Y'all dressing that kid up for Halloween? Nope.

Nope. Not even. It's like a little. I mean, I say no confidently. I hadn't planned on it, but that doesn't mean that my wife hadn't. Oh, there's been an Amazon package show up as a little pumpkin or something. Oh, there's been endless Amazon packages. It's a nonstop Amazon packages, Walmart orders. I mean, it's just, it's nonstop.

So you feel confident she's not going to listen to this? Yeah. No matter. She knows that, hey, look, I utilize this as a way to say the things that are on my chest. Well, go ahead then. Let them out. I love my wife. She's fantastic in every way. You know, I really am blessed. I don't deserve her. But I got a lot of Amazon packages. There's no but. That's just the truth. There is a lot of Amazon packages, but, babe, you keep getting them Amazon packages. Okay, if it makes you happy, it makes me happy. Did you have your house rated of scorpions? Hey, you know what? I did. I had the exterminator guy come out and he did a spray for not just scorpions, but any other, you know,

know, insects or critters that could be getting in the house. I even did the 25 feet of your yard also. Yeah. And I got to say, I mean, I hadn't seen any, because normally you'd see like, you know, just different little like water bugs every now and again. Yeah. Spiders was a big deal on our porch. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Nothing. No. Chemical desert, man. Wiped them out. It is. Baby. It has been full fumigation.

That's good. So everything's being good. good, you know, baby's good, family's good. I will tell you, probably that you talk about going back to 2006. It's been a struggle for me this week because one of my, one of the guys I've known my entire life. I mean, I've known him since kindergarten is now here and in our program. And so, I mean, you talk about a black, and this guy knows everything. Like to every, all of y'all, like my life is a story this dude was there uh we used to get our guns from him and his brother you know for uh various things you know protection very i think you were looking for enough areas not various

whatever however you know uh but but it is cool it takes you back so like he shows up and he is like north side houston you know what i mean and i'm so far removed from that that like it's it's almost like a blast from the past and he's like what's wrong with you i'm like um i'm a whole new creation the old is gone the new has come that's why you're here is you've seen that and you got and your life took a turn and you're like well maybe maybe there's something about this jesus guy that i need to have a closer relationship with there you go so it's pretty cool it's pretty cool man interesting last time i saw him he was in my wedding he was one of the guys that i had uh come be one of my groomsmen in my wedding.

And now he's in the program. Now he's in the program. Hey man, good for him. What about, so the north side is the problem in Houston? No, north and south. Pretty much every side is. North south, east, west. Yeah, pretty much every side has us.

But, you know, historically in Houston, it was, you know, back in the day, you had a major beef between the north side and the south side of Houston. Yeah. Right. So north side, rock blue, south side, rock red. You know, you fill in the blanks on that. Yeah. But except for a, anyways.

Yeah. But like so, but yeah, so I hail from the north side. So were you purple? No. You strike me as a guy with one foot on each line. No, no. Trying to sell stuff to everybody. I was just curious.

Back then, back then I was pretty north side, you know, I was a huge advocate for north side. Yeah. Okay. I was just curious. Advocates another word probably. I've just always known you as a salesman. So I figured you had a little red, a little blue,

kind of just operated as purple, you know? When it comes to things like that, you know, people kind of blur the lines a little bit, you know, because it's all about where's the cheapest price, where's the best product, you know? There you go. And so, you know. Talking about worms? No. Sure.

Yeah. Go with it. Sure. Yeah. So you'll kind of, you know, you'll put aside some of your principles for good product at a cheap price. Interesting. Principles. No.

I got a prop. Yep. So we got something. Oh, hey. All right. Yes. Well, ladies and gentlemen.

You pulled one of my deals. I like to hung myself on that stupid thing. I broke it, boys. I'm finally not the only person to break a microphone stand in this room. I hadn't broke one in a long time since they made me start using this new one. well that's probably why you got that one are we pausing what I found out about

pause keep the cameras keep the cameras rolling that's cheap all right are we back I don't know after 4956 episodes I'm now not the only person to break a mic stand I still got a long way to go to catch up with you

I'm only like two or three you break another one you come in one day you got a cinder block a big arm You're not allowed to touch my... It'd probably be easier if we just drilled a hole in this thing and come out to table, then you don't have to worry about anything. Hunter, take notes. That was funny, though.

I mean, it was pretty funny. If we figured out a way to stash these seven miles of cord up under my feet. That's the first time one's been around my leg, though. Hey, you know, that's fine. Hey, it's worth it for this prop. This is a good prop. I was getting this prop. I'm going to read the letter that come to us.

So do you not recognize? Several years ago, my husband and I purchased Phil and Kay's high school yearbook. When they were in Palestine, Texas years later, I took the yearbook and they both graciously signed their picks and we laughed over the memories it brought up. It brought smiles and laughter to them both. I'd like to return this yearbook to the family as Phil said he hadn't looked at a yearbook in years and he and Kay were so young and pretty. I'd rather not hand it to just anyone, but at our age we have to plan our drives about three hours from home. If John Luke or Willie or any of the boys would like to have it, please contact me from this message. Thank you in advance, Janice Brooks. Now, we generally don't say people's

last thing, but as a thank you, I feel like this is, yeah, I feel like that's cool. I really like Janice, by the way. So Janice and your husband, I don't have your husband's name, but thank you so much for this because, man, there's some gold in here, Jerry. Oh, mm. There's, this happened, But 1964 happens to be the year that our friend right there. Silas Merritt was a sophomore. Oh. And Si, what, I know you said, I mean, this is how old it is. Look, this got Kay's business card in here.

Back when Kay used to carry a Duck Commander business card. I thought you were going to say the Rebel flag. Oh, and you know what, Kay's, well, the Rebel flag is what it is. That wouldn't pass for me. This is actually totally normal for me being a Westman or a Highest. school rebel. Right? This is...

I'm just saying that's clearly... North Caddo can't do that no more. Well, yeah, by the way, to me, this is nothing but high school. So all y'all that want to turn this into something else, this is just what our high school colors were. But Kay's business card says Phil's

personal assistant. That is old school. Good for Kay. I used to be one of those. Oh, man. But anyway, so let's just thumb through here. they've got some highlights here. Yeah, we've got some sticky notes in there.

I'm very excited about it. So we'll get a way to get these up on the big screen if you're watching on YouTube. But look at Phil Robertson. Senior favorite. Look at that. Senior favorite. Phil. Did he just win an award for being the favorite?

I'm trying to figure out why he did it on a knee. No, he's changing the vinyl out. That is the senior favorites of Gail. I'm not going to say Gail's last name because I don't know. I don't want anybody to get. man and Phil. And then there's Mr. and Miss Reble. It's not even like the favorite to win an award.

It's just, no, they're just the favorite seniors. Yeah. Like, they're just the, they, that's back in the good old days when we pick favorites. Okay. Look at this guy, Rucker. My. I feel like we're missing out. Sai.

Well, it's such a small picture. I mean, I'll hand you this yearbook here and just a second. That way you can show Sigh. But all the pages are marked. You look like a normal guy back in. And did the, teeth look the same as they do today, though. Kay Carrowe.

Look at Kay's hair. Look at the volume on that hair, man. Look how wide it. Oh, yeah, that was back whenever the bigger, the hair, the closer to Jesus. The closer to Jesus. Yeah. I got a better question. Is there a football photo of our monster man here?

Look it. Oh, man. Here's Phil. So this was his senior one. Phil Robertson, football, baseball, track, Spanish club president. What? Phil was the Spanish club? Phil was the Spanish club president.

He was in the key club. He was a senior favorite, and he was an outstanding freshman and sophomore. So apparently junior year didn't go so well for our boy PR. Hey, I'm sure there's some people out there that's always been curious. What is the key club? When I say people, I mean me. I'm from the projects.

I'm going to have to go look it up because I believe the key club would be like a choir. Is that what key club was? I'm going to look it up real fast. I don't think we had those in the school. Well, that's kind of fun how that all lays out. Phil was a senior, K was a junior, Si was a sophomore. No, not a choir.

It has nothing to do with the choir. It's just making the world a better place. There's all kind of signs and going into towns about key clubs. Oh, look at here. Spanish club thing is interesting. Kay's homecoming picture, but you know who walked her?

Si. Do you remember who walked Kay on home club? coming? Because Si and Phil would have been playing in the game. It's a great point. So a young man named Harold Robertson walked. Ah. So is Harold the oldest?

Next old. Next old. Jimmy Frank was old. I just want to picture the monster man. Oh, the football's coming. That's so crazy. What's that? This walked out memory lane?

We were playing so Harold walked. Yeah. Yeah. Is that the game? This is the seniors. So Phil is somewhere here. Is that the game they lost? How many did you lose by?

Phil would have been starting quarter. Here's Monster Man, sophomore quarterback. Number 22, Silas Roberts. Number 22 in the programs, but number one in your heart. Emmett Smith, you were second. Hold on. You were a quarterback? Yeah.

Yeah, I played all kind of position. So I was a stud. And there's Kay putting the chop suey on in her cheerleading pose. Oh yeah, I've seen that. Yeah, that one's in the tour. You never told us you were the quarterback. Well, hey, I played no number of positions.

The Los Espanioles. So this must. Oh, Cy, you were in the Los Espaniol. Well, yeah, I took Spanish too. Yeah. You were in, hey, I learned just enough to get my face slap. By who? By the girls.

Well, whatever. Si was utilized. Whatever did you say in Spanish. Well, hey, that's it. I was supposed to, I thought I was saying that one thing. Yeah. And they told me when they slapped me in the face, I'd said another time. Oh, there you go.

I said, well, hey, you know. Brucker, you know a lot of Spanish? I know enough to get your face slap. No, not get my face slap. I know enough to buy and sell drugs. That's about it. I mean, if we're being honest, I mean, past life before Christ, D.C., you know. Yeah, go find that.

Go show Cy himself in football. number 22. I'm trying to, oh, there's Phil. Yeah. It's crazy, man. It's a cool walk. I mean, it's not my memories because I wasn't there, but it is kind of fun to see y'all.

I'm sitting here trying to think of what Gail's last name is. Oh, the first one? It's in there. I just didn't want to say it. I didn't. Because I don't know, you know, we like to protect people's privacy and all that stuff. So, yeah, I didn't want to.

Sophomore quarterback. So that means that you. were probably was Phil Phil's playing quarterback in high school as a senior. So you were back in, you were backing up Phil. They had the, that's the monster man? That's the monster man. Yeah.

They had the two Robertsons at QB. Yeah. Oh, we're going to have. Show him Harold walking K too. That's kind of funny. I never knew Harold looking like that. So I didn't know Harold well anyway. I only met him a few times.

You have missed that. I'm sure, he was, hey, him and Jim and Jim Frank both was mean. It was mean. Look at you. I had a lot more dealings with Jimmy Frank when he wrote that book about Phil the first time,

that legend of the Duck Commander or whatever, so I had a lot more dealings with Jimmy Frank. I only met Harold in passing a couple of times. I want to meet some of your friends. That is. Who was the guy you fought and then became best friends with? Charles, Charles, something. I can't remember his last name.

Oh. That's going to be the tough one. He was a little on the chubby side. That narrows it down. Y'all weren't in the same weight class. It was hard to be chubby back in 1964. No, no, no. It was.

If you were chubby, you were wealthy. You're first day of high school. Okay. So they're pushing me and him on each other. Right. I'm sitting there talking to him. I said, hey, look, can't you see what they're doing? Hey, next time I know, wham.

Oh, yeah. He sucker punch. He stole off on you. Oh, Miss Janice. Thank you. Yeah. For real. Thank you.

You didn't have to give this back to the family, but thank you. That is really cool. It'll end up in our museum somewhere. I'm not exactly sure where it will end up in the museum, but it will be in there. It is funny. A lot of those pictures we already have from, I guess they were scanned images from that maybe

that are up on the wall like in the first few rooms of the tour or the museum because kind of the walk-through memory lane, but it's fun to see them in their original documented form. Also, that yearbook's in really good shape. Yeah, they did a really good job. Charles. I'm a little disappointed that in that yearbook, nobody wrote I'm the first one to sign your crack.

Yeah, that's him. He was a little fatter of that. That was always the thing that everybody did at Westmore High School. Whoever got your yearbook, I'm the first one to sign your crack, and they'd sign it on the spine of the yearbook. Well, that, because sign. Low-hanging fruit, right? Well, but signing yearbooks was a thing.

Did they not do that in 64? They didn't sign yearbooks? No. I didn't see it. Kay and Phil signed it. Well, I like all the sayings they had any matter. I'm probably the most, probably the most, be most successful. Did you win any of them?

I don't know what you. Well, that was your sophomore year, so you wouldn't have been up for any of them. These are my, these are my Eagle baseball shoes. I'm going to my first baseball game as a dad this afternoon. Okay. We're hoping for a walk, boys. Well, you got the wrong logo if you're going as a dad. What does that mean?

You got to go get that big end on them white shoes if you go in as a dad. New balances, man. All white new balance. See, what you've mistaken me for is a regular dad. I'm a cool dad. Who's playing, Ben? That's why you wear sweatpants and jays? Is he?

I'm wearing sweatpants because it's freezing. I didn't check the weather yesterday and wore shorts and a t-shirt, and it was, you know, for our friends north, they were about to laugh at us. It was like 58 degrees of windy outside, and I thought I was going to die. It was cold, yes. It was, well, it was only cold because it's the first day that we've had like that in quite some time. But that wind had a cut to it.

It was blowing about 25 years. I kept having to go outside and I was like, I just, I want to go. I was about to book a flight somewhere south quickly. Get out of here. So Ben's crushing it out there, man? Crushing it is, well, it's our first time to ever play baseball. We're getting way better. Great improvement has occurred.

How old is Ben's? Deep learning curve, huh? Nine. Nine? Yeah. But he's played T-ball and all this. No? They're not playing a T-ball.

No, you don't play T-ball. No, I mean, I'm a kid-ball. If it were up to me, I'd get rid of all that stuff. Ben's picks a new sport every six months, and that's what we do. I really thought he had him wanting cross-country, to be fair. Yeah, because you've seen me run. Well, he just strikes me as a kid that can, like, put in earbuds and go. Like, because every time I'm around, Benz, he is totally fine playing by himself.

He don't. He ain't down to run. Which was weird that he chose cross-country. But at this stage of his life, it's like, man, if you want to try it, go try it. Yeah, we kind of see what sticks. Well, now, but like a buddy of mine's kids on like a robotics team or something. That's kind of cool for kids this age to have. We never had nothing like that.

But what we really didn't have, Martin? What? Was the Lion King. The Lion. Oh, he sent me this last night. Side, check it out. This is great. Turn the volume.

Oh, yeah. Cut me out. Out of service, out of Africa, I wouldn't hang about. The show is getting marvelous. I'm awake. Look at them wing! Oh, I just can't wait to be king. We have been working our butts off at our house on building wings for Zazu of the Lion King.

Time out. Time out. Hold on. Y'all got to make your own costumes. What you think? We're just going to go to the store and buy Zazoo. No, no, no. I mean, if they got those just laying around.

If the school asks you to be in a production, shouldn't they provide the costume? This ain't jail, roe. This school. This school also charges tuition. So, no, you're on your own. Well, but that's the, as somebody that pays for that school, I'm going to just tell you. Yeah. Well, he does at times three.

Yeah. So you're only paying for one of them right now. Check that out. When the other one's starting, the other one will be on the way out. Yeah. So I glued probably 800 feathers on those wings. They look good. There's no way that's 800 feather.

That's because you can only see the ostrich feathers, which were my favorite ones. Yeah. Well, and. Ladies and gentlemen. You got to remember, the front also has a back, so double whatever you're seeing. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're ever making wings, I highly suggest ostrich feathers. They cover a lot more area. There you go.

But they also can't fly. Well, neither can't fly. You don't need them. You don't need them to fly. You just need a race. No, I'm just talking about the structural integrity of ostrich wings. Oh, yeah. I ain't going nowhere, but they look good.

I even put three in his hat. Then I stayed up an hour last night Trying to make a beak out of foam I'm not artistic You said that last night And the first thing I did was I just can't wait to be king Oh yeah

Johnny Dee, you're a good dad You're out there making it happen Young Simba Somebody hadn't told you that I have huffed all the glue to prove it Is he what So does he get to sing the I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

Oh yeah GD It's a small world He's going to do the whole thing, I'm pretty sure. So he does all of Zazu's parts. Yeah, it's pretty much included in being Zazu. That's a two-hour movie. I mean, I don't know how to what he's going to be up there a lot, I think.

Okay. He don't get to sing a Kuna Machada, but hey. Well, but there's a lot of kids, so there is like some other bird that I'd have some of the parts. There you go. But apparently the other bird can do flips and stuff. Carter can't do no flip. He can barely roll. And if he doesn't.

does roll in that suit that I glued all them feathers onto, I'm a herding. Right. You better not mess up that suit, dude. I was, I was, we have the wings for in here? I'm hoping. Whenever they're done.

No, I'm hoping on Thanksgiving break, Carter going to come in here in full Zazu regalia and, and give us a few tunes. I just think they'd really snaws up the place. I felt like we could use them. Well, we're going to pin them to his new presidential suit.

So we had to buy another suit. he outgrew it oh yeah we went a size up and I couldn't button them the kid's humongous he's ruckers size yeah he's getting big yeah that's true well I will you know I think I play I was in a play one time as baby bear you know the three little bears or was was that one the red riding hood with the no that's not the girl that ate the porridge of the bears what's it called

owls owls did you say owls do y'all not know what I'm talking about This is the three bears. Goldilocks. That's it. I was baby bear. Because you remember the daddy bear, the mama bear, and then you had the baby bear. She ate all their.

I'm not going to eat all your porridge, man. No, he had a porridge that she ate. You know what I mean? Because the dad one was too hot. I mean, if I'm just, I'm not trying to be judgmental here, Rucker. But if I look at you, you really fit a baby bear well. No, I mean, I was the ideal guy. You're vertically challenged.

Horizontally stout. Horizontally stout. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah, you'd make a great Pumba as well. Yeah, you're not Tomeone, don't you for that stuff. Me and Sai could pull off Tamone and Pumbo. There you go. That's a great.

There you go. I mean, why hadn't we done that? Well, we're adults that don't. There's not a lot of tryouts for the Broadway show. And it's weird if you're the adult that shows up for that. And to be fair, if size your Timon, they're pretty active participants. I'm just saying. Not a lot of dancing happening over here.

But great singing. Great singing. He could sing, especially with them new choms. Let's get out of here. Which Timon did have. How do we want to close it? Psalm 32-7? Yeah, that's fine.

I didn't know if we're doing that or a prayer. I'm down for either. Yeah. No, we're good. Go song. You are my hiding place. You will protect me from trouble and surround me. me with Songs of Deliverance.

The Lord is your hiding place. If you're in a bad spot, look to him. He'll protect you. And one day deliver you, which is a great thought with Rucker's buddy who went down the same path as Rucker. Took a little longer to get here. But he still got time. He's working on it.

I almost brought him up here because I was with him right before I came up here to do the podcast. But we're going to give him a little bit more time. You know what I'm saying? I slide him up here Johnny D. He said him down Big Dave. Oh, yeah. And Montreal. We're going to have to, well, you definitely have to put a parental advisor.

That dude starts going. We have to put that for Sigh. All right. We'll see y'all next time. I'm right here in the duck call room. We're out.
