Duck Call Room - Uncle Si Remembers the Forgotten Robertson Brother

Episode Date: October 12, 2023

Uncle Si returns from the infamous Hazard Fest with Martin, Godwin, and Jay, along with fresh stories of the world's most interesting lineup of guests and fans. Godwin wistfully remembers a time before diabetes when he could eat a dozen of the best donuts in North Louisiana. Martin and Jay are confused when Si calls himself an "active" person and the boys remember the other truly active Robertson brother, Tommy. Si claims he doesn't believe in Bigfoot, but he does agree with Jay about the existence of the Rougarou from cajun Louisiana folklore. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Hi, welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We're here after a fun-filled weekend full of travel. And I'm sure at some point we'll talk about that. But before we get started, our friend Brandon, I can't say your last name, Brandon, because that's against our rules. But our friend Brandon sent us a box of chocolates. And in the note, he said, thank y'all for doing kingdom work. But I also just wanted my name mentioned on the podcast.

So Brandon. You send chocolate you get mentioned. I mean, they're actually pretty good. Yeah, the chocolate was legit. One of them was not very good. But the rest of them from Sweet Shop USA, I don't really know nothing about them. But they had, I think it said Mount Pleasant, Texas.

Pretty good. I know some good folks from Texas. They're all right. Yeah. Well, Mount Meat Loaf said two out of three ain't bad. Two out of three ain't bad. Yeah, it's really more like three out of four. Just that one was kind of raunchy.

But Hunter loved it, which I thought was weird. Well, he would. Yeah. I mean, to me, it kind of tasted like Hunter dresses. Now, he doesn't have a video camera over there, so y'all don't know that joke. Hunter at least laughed at it, so he gets my correlation there. A little soapy. A little soapy.

Look at him. Y'all can't see him. Sorry, YouTube, folks. And if you're listening to this, you really can't see him. But you can imagine. Zip up hoodies. Oh, it's fall. Hunter's back in hoodie season.

It'll be all the different zip-up cotton hoodies that you can find for the next four months. So I love it. But, you know, this is Louisiana. This is like false fall. This is that one where it gives you the little hope. And then it gets hot. And it's going to get hot again. Yeah.

Yeah. And so you're like, you know, but hey, I'll take the cool off. It's fine. Oh, man. Well, you noticed. I dressed appropriately. I finally broke out my underarm. That's for any time.

Just below 70. If it's below 60, nope. Can't be cold. I'm right out the under armor boys. Oh, man. But back to the weekend. Yeah. Everything was fine except travel.

Travel? Yeah, travel's always a pit. Yeah. And Knoxville got to get something figured out on their traffic. Yeah. That's crazy. Oh. Unbelievable.

Too many people. That construction. Too many people? A lot of humans. A lot of humans and a little small bottleneck. See, like if somebody was hunting us, we'd be easy to kill. Oh, yeah. Because you got to take that trail.

There you go. That trail through Chattanooga is a bottleneck. Oh, 75, yeah, we're 75 turns into 59. Yeah. That's a bad deal. I've been there, too. 9-11. Yeah.

So y'all drove right by the little Debbie Park. Y'all could have stopped. We stopped, but we didn't get out of the truck because the boys were one of them days. They hadn't had a nap, and we thought we could drive them there, and they'd get like a 35-minute nap, and they did not. So by the time we got there, they were at a 10. And so Brittany just looked at me and she said, we'll come back.

And we turned around and left. But we did see it. I can confirm that the Little Debbie Park is actually there. And then, yeah, we had some scheduling conflicts with the Little Debbie folks. So we'll be back. I'm in Chattanooga often. So I'm not worried about it. That's a place where my buddy lives.

But the Hazard Fest. That was fun. that was probably what that's this is a third or fourth year third one i've done so i think it's like the fourth or fifth year we missed a year somewhere other year we do it's like every other year we do it but this was probably the biggest crowd i i think we've had up there yeah and i you know they have what uh someone from blazing saddles yeah have someone from uh what's the movie deliverance yeah little boy played the movie deliverance and they had no little boy played a man and they had no little boy no more.

What's amazing is like they had the girl walking around from tool time if y'all remember the show Home Improvement. I don't remember what her name was on the show. Heidi. Yeah, there you go. And then they had the lizard licked toeing people.

So y'all can, folks in home, you can imagine the gathering of rednecks in one spot. All sorts of impersonators. Lulu showed up. Luke Duke. From he-ho. Yeah. He had he-all people.

Duke's a hazard actors. Uncle Jesse. looks the same as when he did. Is that him or was that somebody at? He been gone. Let's say he should have done passed on. Yeah, he's been gone.

But that guy looked just like him. Oh, he's lived his whole life for that moment. Oh, yeah. One weekend a year. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it's the no, I'm going to say what I was going to say. Everybody that owns a

General Lee car, there was like 25 or 30 of them they were there. Yeah. I actually, somewhere up there, John Snodda showed up, and they had one out there, and they told me the cameraman said, hey, look, we got it parked out back,

keys in it. You just come out, get it and steal it and take off. Oh, yeah, and Luke Duke was there. Yeah, yeah, so I did. I'm on my... I come this close and wrecked General Lee. That'd have been about right for you. You know?

Because I stomped that baby, and hey, she's sideways and all that. It took me a little while to get it under control. Well, the beauty of it would have been, you'd have been the one person in America that got away with it. Well, hey, there it is. They wouldn't even been mad at you. He said, well, I wrecked my general leave. Oh, no, they loved it.

We almost wrecked a couple times on the way back. Oh, yeah. You're talking about a bunch of idiots on the highway. Look, the biggest concentration bad drivers slash morons are from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham. Yeah, yeah. That stretch. Good luck is all I can tell you. Everybody's running 75 on the interstate.

Okay. except this one car. She's going 20 in the fast line. She's got a white car with a red A on the door. Yeah. Roll tied.

Yeah. And she's running, everybody's running. Stadding you run up on her and just break lights everywhere, you know, and truckers sliding sideways. I mean.

Yes, y'all. Just exit. But there was about four different instances where I was, I was saying, this is all of it. Yeah. And it all happened

between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. Hmm, that's interesting. That's dangerous. Just the drains as part of driving down. I traveled that trail often. I was going to say around Chattanooga, somebody, there's always that one hero that, like, tries to go from the inside lane to the outside lane and about kills everybody.

Or vice versa. Yeah, and I'm like. Weaver bird. Yeah. That's what I call them. Can you really be in that big of a hurry? Yeah. You should have left earlier is all I got to tell you.

Oh, man. You know what the. this is going to be. Not a road building up that way. That was a nine-hour jump. Yeah. It's a ways up there. Well, I flew and got a stinking earache.

I ain't never got that fluid behind my ear from. I'll tell you, it's old age. I do that again. I'm driving. It's old age. We all driving. We all done got off of them air lines. We tell you y'all something about driving.

I'd have figured it out. Just piss on airplanes. here's what you do. You tell yourself Yeah, it's all by perspective. It's right here. Everything's right here. Yep.

I told myself before I left here, I said, this is going to be so nice. I'm going to enjoy this. This drive is going to be so pretty and so nice, and it's going to be fun. You know what? On the way up there, I got there, and I felt like I drove 30 minutes.

Man, I say something, because that's a job. What happened coming back? You had side. On the way back, I had sideways, but that didn't work. Was he beating and banging on everything? No. No, he said he still on the way up there. His wife may have said two words to him.

Okay, the whole nine hours. It was awesome. Okay. She may have said maybe four on the way back. Man's a quiet, she's quiet. You don't even know she's there. Okay. Oh, yeah.

Until you know she's there. Oh, until you know. Well, then when you have, hey, if you say, something out of lying now, you know she's there. Yeah. Yeah, you get her stirred up now. Yeah, if you get her out of line now, nope. That's where that Robertson bloodline kicked in.

That inbreed. Oh, man, but it was good to see all the fans out there at Hazard Fest. I mean, it was a line of them. I know you guys are listening because. Pretty humbling. If not, you just lied to us because every one of you that walked up and said you love the podcast. Oh, yeah. And that you never miss one.

and well no we had to wait like 30 minutes and i said what what's the hold up here and i said they're they're printing pictures and i said print what pictures yeah well i'm expecting some some other pictures because hey all them pictures i saw and signed was of the podcast room and i didn't think i ever put that many clothes on because every one of them was a different shirt i'll say this yeah you wear a lot of different shirts in here. You don't wear many different socks. Oh, no. I like my beaver socks.

I don't know what that's about. I don't know what correlation that goes with, but you've got about four pairs of socks that you rotate through and that's it. Well, beavers are the main one. I guess it was because me and Phil have fought them for like 50 years. Hey, when we try to drain the water off the ducco, it's the beavers and the congos and they've got conspiracy. Well, we got us a river dug between the lake and the in the dump now. Uh-oh.

Good luck, Beaver. Uh-oh. They'll figure it out. Oh, he's done dug a river, boys. They'll figure it out. Although, they always do that. They'll put it back. That was the most amazing part of the first time I worked my brother to do the busting of Beaver

Downs. We pulled up there at daylight, okay. walked out there and broke it. Oh, we dug, Phil did, okay, a hole about wider from me to John, okay, and about six foot deep. And through all the brush and the leaves and everything behind him. Yeah, the next morning, daylight again, I'm looking at this stupid thing.

I said, wait a minute, we just did this 12 hours ago. what in the world is going on. How many of them is it? I said, how many of them? It had to be a hundred of them to put it back overnight. Fills it, no, about two. I said, wait a minute.

Now. Things are efficient. No, it's got to be more than two. I said, you dug like a six by eight hole, you know, four foot wide in the levee that they had built. And I don't know

they get in the dirt. I don't know where they're getting all the timber fart. What is six by eight in Siamath? About big of that table right there. 48 feet? No, it's about double it. 48 square feet. No, you got about a square right here. You know, six foot deep, eight, eight foot long. Okay.

And they filled it back in like it had never been gone. They will do that. 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 Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sall Robertson would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Triedells, 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 Triedale's beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales 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 isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. But hey, on a more positive beaver note, Sai, you stopped at the world's largest buckies.

And I know, and look, I don't. I didn't go in. They don't play games. They have their own... Well, hey. That's what was on the side. I'm looking at when I'll dry. It takes 30 minutes to get in the parking lot.

No. I ain't walking in there. I met some of our... That's full of people, too. I met some of our fans in there, too. Oh, I did too. I was just... The problem is I stopped at two different buckies up there in both times.

Yeah. We talk about it too much. Because it's like they're sitting there waiting on one of us to walk in. And I was like, which is fine because I'm going in there to get me a brisket sandwich anyway. It's good. Gas station brick. When Mayor Phillips, it's unbelievable. Went to a Texas event.

The truck's low on gas. Okay. And I mean, it's laying on eat. Well, he said, we'll pull it in the buggies. We pulled in there and I said, no. Hey, there ain't a slot open in the gas station. I said, no, you got to get out, go to another one where it's like one of these little mini-mart deal. Put in and get your gas, go, let's go.

We ain't going there. Take too long. Oh, there's 900 gas pump. Yeah. And it's never. And it's never empty. Okay. And look, I was in there.

Every time I've ever pulled up, to look at a buckies to see what we're going to go in. Nope. I was in there like a total of maybe five minutes, too. Because I knew what I want. So see, I got a rope. roadmap in my head of Bucky's. Yep. And I'm like,

you go to the spot where it's that. I know where my stuff is. I get my stuff and then I'm back out. But they've got, you know, they got 20 registers in there to keep you moving. And unlike everywhere else in the world's got 20 registers, they actually have 20 people working on.

Oh, that's right. Yeah. It ain't the worst than going in and there's 20 cash registers and they got two people in two lines. Or they just backed all the way around the building. Or they now have it where you just do it yourself. And you don't get a discount.

which is a bunch of bull. I'm now working. I'm paying y'all to work for y'all. Yeah, I'm paying you to work. You should get 10% off if you go to self-checkout. Self-checkout. I'm just, I'm being honest. You should get 10% off.

And they're always empty. They got one person standing there looking at you weird too, like you're going to take something. Yeah, make sure you don't take something. Like, they're just looking at you like you just farted or something. I'm like, y'all could at least smile. Like, come over here and be handy. But, you know, I'd worry about that at Buckees. that's why so many people stop in there.

And the brisket's good. Brisket's really good. I was disappointed, though. There wasn't a brisket burrito. Oh, yeah, they were out of them. You had to go over into that hot station to get him. You know, they got that deal. They'll build him right back there for you.

In the metal? That one, see, now that one's a commitment because the Bucky's connoisseurs know that. So if you walk over there, you're going to be there a second. Or you just get you something pre-made. Yeah. Which is, look, the brisket sandwich is good. No problem.

Their barbecue sauce is good. It's good bread. It wouldn't sitting out there all day. Like bread's not hard. Everything's soft. Oh, yeah. They go down smooth. Yeah.

I mean, I ate four up. I've ate a minimum. Or? Not at that one. I stopped again. Oh, I got two both times. He hit it twice.

Well, you know, they got that giant one in there. I was eyeballing that one. Yeah. Oh, with all, with everything on it? It's about that tall. Yeah. What is? You can't eat him and drive, though.

Yeah. they go brisket sam yeah it's all over you wouldn't it yeah you can't eat I'm glad you didn't get that one I had trouble with the one you did get you got the giant's out of hey you don't play when you go to Buckees you get oh no and you know I got back

to Kyle's house and the wife said you get me something from Buckees I said how do you know I stopped you know you don't stop I just couldn't drive by the biggest one in the world not to stop. Is that the biggest one in the world? That's the biggest one right now.

Yeah. And Severeville. They're like Bill this and over here. Rustin? I don't think it's going to be a very big foot. Oh, there's one coming up in Rustin? Yeah. Yep. Oh, yeah.

Taw button. By the time they get it built too, look, that'd be a great 30-minute ride for me in the boys. Boys get in the truck. We go to the Buckees. New, new date night. Yeah. Yeah, man. Go on the Bucches.

Grand opening. The sad thing is, Bucky's going to move here and have the best barbecue in North Louisiana. Uh-oh. A gas station going to have the best barbecue in North Louisiana. That's terrible. That is terrible. You think about it. Is there a decent barbecue joint in Shreveport?

Got to be. I ain't ever had it. I've never heard anybody talk about it. They used to have the best donut shop. Oh, they still got. I think it was the name of it. Something happened. The one by the interstate?

Yeah. It's gone. It's there, but something happened. Something happened. Oh, they're going to turn the lights on. Because, hey, used to, hey, we'd stop there, get a dozen a piece. And they'd be hot. And they'd be hot, and they'd be gone about two minutes.

Oh, yeah, I've seen. And everybody bought 12. I've seen Jay's wife, no, pop a dozen of them right by herself. Oh, no. Oh, we used to have. When we stopped, we all got a dozen each. Yeah. That's what my sister ought to do over.

They were gone. They didn't have time for the, for the, uh, for the, uh, light when they're hot. Stuff on top of them. She'd tell them. It was still hot. The glaze? Yeah.

The glaze? Yeah. It was still hot. Smoking, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, that was good. It went down smooth.

There's something about a hot donut. I'm going to call high school. That's what they need to be doing right there. Yeah. Oh, they did if they burn the light on when they just come out. And they just come and roll out of that. That's when you want them. They just melt in your mouth.

Oh, yeah. Oh, you get a dozen and, hey. I've been talking like a man. I ain't got to diabetes. I know. I tell you what, I could eat 15 apple fritters and 18 bacon pies.

Oh, that's another one. My wife has found him somewhere in one sitting. Oh, I bet you I could do it. Oh, no. It's been so long. It's been so long. It's been so long. Whatever they are.

They're good. That's what they are the next day. Yeah. They're right down the road. I just know she found them And hey, ever since she's buying like four They're big It's about this wide and that wide

They're down full Got them by half of them Put them in there for 20 seconds Heat them up a little bit And eat about half up How are we not having to push you in here In a wheelchair with stuff you eat? No look, he's got a tape learn

You ought to be You ought to have a beeping device up next to you The sweet junk that you eat And you still walk in here at 160 pounds Soak him well Hey, look. But I'm still active. You're what?

I'm still active. He's, he's verbally acting. He's verbally acting. You're what? He's verbally. This is not active. No, no, I am active.

Just to confirm, this is not active. This is not being active. Hey, I am. This is being awake. Yeah, I am. There's a big difference. He walked to his chair every morning. Hey.

My man, I say he active when he brags about sleeping 20 hours. Well, hey, I am. active, but hey, man needs to have his beauty rest, man. How much do you sleep on a ride home? Not long. Hey, I didn't even take a nap. Yeah, you took one. No, I didn't.

I never did. He slept on that plane. Now, I laid back and rested. But look, this is the man, hey, I know how to rest. If you have done any time in the military. That's right. He's tired. Hey, hey, that's what I said.

That's the biggest joke I've ever heard. I'm still active. Unbelievable. I am still active. Sitting around a poker table and a podcast table and not the definition of active. It just feels pretty active. I mean, he's slowing down now,

but for years he run circles around you. He didn't do physical labor. Yeah. Exercise, if you will. Yeah. Look, I can get my exercise. You know, aside probably does get 10,000 steps today. walking to the bathroom and back. Yeah.

That's probably a lot. Well, let's take a break. We'll be back right after this. I actively drive him to the deer stand. Yeah. To the bottom of the steps. Yeah. He does climb four steps to get in there.

Hey, that's active for this old way. Yeah. And if he goes duck on, he steps from the boat to the blind. Yep. I mean, it can be a decent step. You got a duck to get in there. Yeah. Got to walk over to the Haiti.

Hey, look, that's active. What? Yep. Unbelievable. Oh man, I will say before we leave it completely, the Hazard Fest, it was cool to sign pictures from like five years ago from us being there. Because same people wait in line and come up just to say hello. But now they've got something different to talk about.

That's the other thing. Just about everybody that stood in that line had seen the blind, which I thought was really cool. Yeah. That they had all bought their tickets and gone. and seen it and had such great things to say about it. Nobody talked about the duck, unfortunately. One guy did say he saw John David and to be sure and tell him.

So John David, I'm going to force you to watch to get that recognition since you're not here. That's right. You was noticed. You were noticed. But it was cool. And to see all the stuff that's happened since it come out, that's been really cool, the baptisms and things that happened after it and all that kind of good stuff.

So I would say that Phil's choice to say yes to the deal was getting the response he wanted or agree, you know, one of the reasons he agreed to. Well, I always told people that's talking about when they bring it up. I said, well, what about if you changed position with Phil, would you have said, yeah, okay, yeah, show ever stupid and mean and ugly thing I've ever done, put it on live screen. I couldn't do it.

I said, no. I don't think. No, I, I, nope. No. Yeah. I'm like you. I said, no, I ain't, I ain't going to do that. Yeah.

Yeah, no, because I've done some pretty dumb stuff. Yeah. Yeah. It was, but that was cool, though, just to see the response to it. So if you guys haven't seen it, I think it's playing for a couple more days, but not long. T. Swift is about to take over the world because she hasn't already. Man, that's a wild room. But we don't need to talk about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.

That one, that's just, that's great. Well, I finally figured out why the chiefs are so hard to beat. Oh, boy, this ought to be. No, no, no. I really did. They show up? No, no, he got hurt the other night in a game, okay. Is that Kelsey?

Yeah. Oh, he's just trying to get some sympathy from Taylor Swift. Well, no, no, but I understand. He's trying to get a song written about a bad knee or something, man. Don't worry about that. But, no, no, the reason I think they're so hard to beat you is, okay? is the people, the players on the ball team, none of them have an ego problem.

They're happy whenever, whoever catches the ball scores or whoever's running it makes a good run or catches a good pass to stone. You know, they're all, it's just a team effort with Kansas. It really is. Now, because a lot of my,

you're talking about egotistical. Come on. Kind of like Coach Prime. Kind of like you, Man, Prime. He ate out another victory. Well, no, no. Back on the winning street. Who'd they be?

Arizona State. Well, not only that, they come close to beating USC. And hey, that's the Hisman man that's supposed to be running away with the Hisman Trophy. Yeah. Okay. And they, they, USC, struggle. barely beat them.

Yeah. Okay, that's why I said, hey, when they played who they did and didn't do nothing, they did show up. Didn't show up, boy. They didn't show up. And that's the truth of the matter. They didn't show up. That and they ain't no good.

Huh? No. No. I tell you, it ain't no good. T.C. you ain't been the same since Georgia got done with them last year. Unbelievable. But we're not a college football podcast. We could be to an extent.

We got an expert on the premise. Oh, Si? Yeah. No, you ain't got no expert. I said I ain't a coach. Coach Corso over there. I played, I played it, but I mean, I ain't an expert. He is our Lee Corso, isn't he?

Oh, yeah. Lee Corso, Barney Fife, he's just that guy. He's what you tune in for. Hey, here's your one bullet. Make it a good one. With an open board. That's right, with an open board. And we got to hang out with Shelby.

Do you enjoy seeing Shelby? Yeah, I've always glad to hang with her. She's a good time. Hey, Hank. That little fine. thing. She was a lifesaver, though. Oh, thank God she was there.

I'm glad she was there. I looked at Shelby. I said, this feels like 2014 all over again, don't it? Because she used to work all those beating greets with us and for us and everything.

She's over there on the ground, cutting pictures off, taking pictures on the phone, just doing whatever. Shelby, you probably don't listen either, but thank you. Thank you for your time. She's a good, good worker.

Yeah, good person. That's the first time I'm not ever signed a picture and could have wrapped my boat with the same stuff. Yeah. I didn't even know that was a thing. I didn't mean anything. To print eight by tens on vinyl. Yeah. Then hand cut them.

But I wonder if we're stuck on somebody's wall or their truck. Absolutely. Or their boat now. Are we a part of a boat wrap? That'd be cool. That'd be pretty neat. Oh, we should have saved one for ourselves. Put it on one of the general ease.

Hey, if you want some, hey, if you want, somebody put a whole pack of them in my truck. Oh, there's so many of the pictures. Of what? Of them pictures. Really? Yeah. Well, I think during the break, I'll go get them.

And peel one off. I got me there right now. I'm unloading. I'll peel it off put on John David's chair for when he comes back. I unloaded him. He got an autograph picture aside. Yeah, they had a house. Oh.

But you have them. You don't load them? Well, that's because you active. I forgot. I forgot. I forgot. I forgot. I forgot.

Very active. He's still active. He's cleaning up. Cleaning up around that. I'm not one generally going to go back on this, but I'm curious. What do you define as active? I'm just curious. What is your definition of active?

I get up every morning. Okay. Now, it might be 10.30 when I get up, but I do get up and move around. Okay. You move from the bedroom to the living room? Yes, to the recliner. And then what's next for you? Then I come up here and do these podcasts, okay?

Hey, hey, that's active. Okay. And then late eating when I... So that's two days of your week. What about those are three? Then when we got a poker game, hey, look, I'll stay up to like one, two, three o'clock in the morning for this game. Yeah. Hey, that's pretty active for a 75-year-old man.

So your activity is getting up from one place to go sit at another. That's right. To relax. I think his definition of activity is doing something. He's got a real. Hey, look, boy, I worked for 60 years. I worked for 60 years. He opens his eyes, that's active.

Activity. You know, I've been active enough, okay, that I'm going to take a break now. But you are one of them people, though, you eat, for the most part, like trash. Hey, and you never gain a... You just talked about you ate half an apple fritter that was this big. Oh, hey. Well, they're really good. But look, this is...

Do you have a glass of milk? An apple fritter is a light meal. Yeah, lightly fried in peanut oil. I mean, it's got fruit in it. With apples and a little sugar. It's healthy. It's got fruiting. That's right.

That's what, you know, Phil told me one day, he fried up some, what are you? Frye up some chicken. And he said, you're going to eat any of that chicken? I said, that's when I was trying to cut some weight. And he said, I said, no, I'm trying to cut some weight. He said, peanut oil is. made from peanuts flour

is made from wheat healthy healthy what's not healthy about that healthy I don't know baby you're right give me a piece of that but ain't none of you Robertson boys I mean Phil

I would argue ate a little better than you because Phil doesn't need a fine ice cream a night oh no here's the thing Tommy okay that's why it should Shocked me when he got sick and everything. Because he's a, you talking about a health nut. Okay, because when Nancy cooks, you had one helping and then everything was gone. There was nothing left, you know, if you said, boy, that was really good.

Let's have some more. Now. So she's the exact opposite of K. Yeah. Yeah. You got one helping of each thing that she cooked and that was it. You ain't getting no more. So first time.

First time through the live make a count, huh? Yeah. You better get what you want. I said, well, in Tommy's case, it wasn't what he ate because he was physically, he looked like Captain America. Oh, I mean, the man at 60-something looked like if he took a shirt off would have a six-pack. That's right. No, no, because he always was working.

Yeah. He made duck hunting work. That's why I didn't like to hunt with him. He loved it. Oh, he made it work. Oh, absolutely. Y'all and I said, hey, no, look, this is relaxing. Relaxing time, boys.

You relax. My favorite part about Tommy is he always get home and then call back. Do I have your jacket? That's right. Well, I don't know, Tommy, do you? Probably don't. You probably do. Well, I got a 2X.

Yeah, then that's probably my. It's definitely not yours. Why do you have it? Well, it's laid there by my stuff. Oh, okay. That's why I was wondering, I was looking. Everybody's got black magic markers in writing in their, They're clothes.

He had Phil shotgun one morning. You know, and I said, and then I'd come up one morning and I said, where's my hunting jacket? No, it's gone. Well, that was a problem because we'd all get the same stuff. I mean, we all had, every jacket we had was identical. Every gun case.

Every, everything was identical. You know, I always enjoyed hunting with old time. It was, he had, his vocabulary was expansive. I'll never forget. One what? We were hunting with Cole Reed's middle boy who was, I'd say, about 10 years old at the time. You know, Tommy was a, you know, he didn't give a rip what you thought. He's going to say what he wanted to say.

And every now and then, he'd slip in a little four-letter word. That's that coach coming out of. That's that coach. And superintendent and everything else. He got mad about something. I can't remember get mad or not, but he said a couple, four. letter words and Cole was there and Jason looked up at it and he said Cole don't ever repeat anything your uncle Tommy says.

Well, it was the best one I was. I don't remember what camera was. I think it was a Swinky. Swinky. That's his name. Sinky. Thank you. Oh, swiky. Yeah. He had a bit of Jail. He done something and Tommy, you know, they both got up and Tommy said, hey, I'll whip your A-S-S, you keep up. Whoa, here. Easy, boys. That'd have been a pretty good scrap to watch there. Sinky and Tommy, that's been a good one there.

Sinky said something to him, and he said, hey, you better back off and sit down over here. I'll just, you know. And I'm, whoa, boys, ho, whoa. Keep you friendly here. Keep you friendly. Oh, man. One time he looked up and he said, big bunch, big bunch coming. Never mind, airplane.

Yeah. He was the king of two singles. too. There's a pair of singles coming. Yeah. He was also the king of air ringing too. Now, he didn't see a shot he didn't like. Oh, he loved everyone.

I gave him that. He didn't see a shot he didn't like. He said, oh yeah, I'll try it. I don't care if it is right over your head. I'll try. And I always ended up right beside him. The biggest guy in the duck blind next to that. You're in the block.

And he's, yeah. I was just in between him and Jace. That's all I was. That's what we use burly for now, a blocker. Yeah. In between field and side and the rest of us. Keep us from getting shot. I do miss old Tommy, though.

He was a good time. I'll say this. You never saw that man sitting still. No. At any point during the duck hunt. He was active. Putting decoys out, picking decoys up, brushing. Tommy earned his keep one.

He showed up. And then he'd take you. back over there and work you till dark. Yeah. Like Tommy, it ain't that important. He was the opposite of what we call dead weight. Yeah. Other than, he just had that, he just had that pack rat problem.

Easy. He just had that pack rat problem. He'd always leave with somebody else or something. Yeah. Every time. Yeah. Oh, shoot. Check your gear, boys.

A farmer had raised watermelons in that field. And he just had left. I died or what it, moves away or whatever.

Well, guess what? They come up. That whole field wasn't nothing but just red meat and yellow meat. Oh, volunteer. Oh, yeah. So, hey, the next 45 minutes, we're picking them up, dropping them, letting them bust open and just eating a heart out of them. You're talking about good.

Is that what you told yourself to make the thiever? not seem so bad. Oh, hey, no, hey. Somebody had to leave this here. This would just say, they grew wild, you know. They were wild watermelon. If you see somebody, let me know. Yeah.

Well, let's take another break. We'll be back right after this. So I got a question for you. We're in the email section and all that. Johnny D would generally run this. So we're actually getting most of these from like Instagram. So do you believe in Bigfoot? No.

You don't? No. Why not? Oh, pretty dear. You could be feeling the daylight hours, too. An hour after daylight. Nope, he ain't old enough. Oh, do you think he is?

Nope, he's three. Three? Yeah, he ain't old enough. He weighs about 220. Back to Bigfoot. Yeah. Like here. In a way, maybe.

We're trying to do podcast here. Yeah. No, no, maybe. But it would have to be up north in the snow country. Oh, see? You're talking about like the Yeti. Yeah. A yetty.

The abominable snowman. A snowman. I don't believe in that, neither. Gobwin, you're out on Bigfoot? Yeah, there ain't no Bigfoot. Stone? As many. Wait a minute, now, hold it.

Hold it. They had a picture of one in Florida. They had a picture of one in Florida. Yeah, I believe it. Well, no, no. I'm just saying they showed a picture of Brown in Florida. That was a skunk eight. Huh?

They called the skunk. Now, I don't believe in Bigfoot. But I do. believe in the rogueroo the what oh what rugeroo rigaroo down south ruggeroo what is that thing now hey

it's a roogueroo I got I nobody really knows that may have been what was behind me feel like the top of what I was young to be well nobody knows who bigfoot nobody knows the rigoroo did he smell like a skunk rugaru

ruggeroo Roo got he smiled like a skunk Y'all had him behind me Okay. Well, I was in a teenager. 100%. 100%. Look.

Where was you at? We had one frog gig again. Oh, so you were in the small? Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah. Maybe so. No, no. So look, we're walking up.

We're back. We got a sack of frog. Okay. Tommy's in the lead. Phil's next and I'm behind. And I kept hearing something behind me. So I stopped and turn around and look. And this was when I was about, Tommy would be what?

he's in high school, 10th grade, Fields in the eighth grade, I'm in the sixth grade. Okay, and we're like this. Boom, boom, boom, boom. So you're about 12 years old. Yeah, and about four foot tall. Well, I turn around,

I hear something, I turn around, and whatever it is, is the same height I am, and I'm looking at this thing and eyeball to eyeball. Well, I knock field in the tummy because I just, whoa. Y'all, and then something runs

and goes in a, concrete pipe for a flood relief. Tommy goes up and shines a flashlight, that's the skunk. He just sprayed, you know, we can smell it. And I said, well, all I know is, hey, it was a big one because, hey, he was the same height that I was. Because he might be one of the rougaroos or whatever.

Four foot tall scum. Look, I'll just tell you. So what brought up to big foot? I was just asking because we had a nice message from the North Carolina Squatch Watchers. Oh, the Squatch Watchers. They have 74,000 subscribers on YouTube and people 20. You got a picture of it? They got 23 million views on YouTube.

Oh, wow. Oh, does they get a picture of it? No, they just sent a message. Oh, they sent a message. But they're a Christian-based Bigfoot investigation group. I wouldn't say if you asked, okay. Where is that at? Air Hunt.

North Carolina. You'd have a picture, man. Well, hey, I want to. They just said they'd love sit down sometime and chat about Jesus and Bigfoot.

But look, we did see a picture of a spotless giraffe. Hey, that was real. They brought it up there. Yeah, that was real. Hazard Fest.

Yeah. Was a giraffe, a young one, and hey, no spots, none. Not one. Not one. She showed it to all of us, because she was on my case

about the Black Panther. Well, There you go. You said, have you ever seen a spotless giraffe? Would you swear in court? I would not. On Bigfoot? On Bigfoot.

I couldn't answer that question. I just said, Judge, I'd take the fifth though, that one. How would they be so elusive for this long? Same way that Panther has been. Same bit. I guess so. People keep seeing them and ain't none of them ever got a gun. Hey.

Wildest thing I ever seen in my life. No, here's the thing. You would figure some redneck would have shot one. Now, I did see a man that works on telephone poles and the transformers. Had a transformer blue. He's called out. He goes out there and look. He pulled a black, big black, big black cat out of a transformer that electrocuted him.

Yeah, it probably wasn't a fried him or nothing. Well, oh, no. Oh, he was rough-looking. No, no, trust me, he was rough-looking. Look, he had teeth that long, too. You know, this was a vampire. When you burn something, what color does it turn? Huh?

Black. Okay. But anyway, hey, I'm just saying. No, no. I'm just, no, no. He took a picture of this. Listen to me. He took a picture of this, okay.

You know, and I told Philip, I said, hey, get with him, have him send you that picture because I want to show that picture of Jay's. Well, I did. And Jay said, oh, you can tell that's, that's been doctored up by a photo shop. I said, Jason, if a panther bit you on the butt, okay, and left tooth marks on you, you wouldn't believe it. Oh, man. I'm going to get Phillips Senate, right?

I love, love. Hey, this is a weird, wicked-looking thing. What else? And I think he deleted or lost his phone or something. I really do. Who? Philip had a picture of him on his phone. Oh, I saw it.

I think he lost. I saw the picture. Yeah. Do you remember that deal we used to do? Bad taxidermal. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've seen. I know which one he's talking about.

You know the picture I'm talking about. Because this cat has been pulled off a telephone pole from here to Washington State. Yeah, all over the country. I don't want to hear that. A railroad worker who was a buddy of a cousin's sister's best friend. I will say, okay, somebody has taken a picture and it shows, you know, and I've had it from all the states. It's the same picture.

Hey, this one's from North Carolina This is South Carolina This is Florida This is this This Texas all Yeah That's like the Chubacobbler Yeah

Chupacabber Yeah From Texas He everywhere He's everywhere He's everywhere, boys He's just different He's a nice

He's in He's called something Same thing Ain't Yeah Just called something different No Now

Chupacobob By now you brought up The Bigfoot Do vampires Does what? Vampires no

well i just yosted it's winning what makes you think that i would believe in anything you asked me so hey i just i mean the most mythical thing i believe in is jesus and that's not even mythical i'm saying he's not here and you can't see but you can at least see the power yeah of him transforming people yeah okay that's about that's about if for me to believe it i got to see it i can't go off a hearsay well here's That's just way my brain works.

Okay, here's that. Okay, if I actually see a panther, okay, and have my gun, I don't think I could shoot it. That's because you're a cowl at one time. No, no, I'm scared. And you're afraid to be wrong. No, no. You don't hold the legend to die.

No, it's not that. Because I might be shooting the only one of them existing. And somehow you are the man that run across him. No, no, I'm serious. Three times. I'm serious. So you've already won the lottery with Duck Dynasty. You ain't doing this, too.

I mean, you might as well start getting struck by lightning about 15 times. Oh, no. Hey, I've done that close. I've done that close. I've done that close. I've been so close to lightning strikes that the hair. My hair looked like, I look like that an afrofoam. Like Einstein.

Just, just, okay. But I have to say, that day they'd done that, the light and the strike was as wide as the Mississippi River going across the sky. Wow. Whoa. Oh, I was looking at it when I came out. No, no. I was in North Carolina, too.

Because you talk about a light show. This was a light show, boys, because it was that dark. And I mean, hey, when you see a streak about, you know, mile, mile and a half wide of solid lightning boats, that's scary. That's scary. You talk about some power. There you go. Look, it's been another fun day in here, right?

Oh, what are you talking about? It's kind of weird. John David's not here. There hasn't been any like yelling or shrieking. It's kind of, it kind of doesn't feel like the duck call room, so it's a little weird. But, you know, I guess we'll close it out. We'll send you on with the verse of the day. And since the blind is playing and we've heard so many things, I've got one that I think really pertains to Phil's mission that has been ever since I've known him and since he gave his life to the Lord.

Has just for Mark, Mark 16, 15, he said to this. them go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. And I think that we can all agree that Phil Robertson has done just that. Ever since he's run upon Jesus, he has. He took that one to heart. He took that one to heart. And by doing so, he's put it in all of our hearts too. So it's really cool thing. So that's it. Mark 1615. We will see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
