Yeah. But I noticed they all they kept somebody around them who had one. Well, no, that's the same. Phil always had somebody to have one. Hey, you don't know that black box and call.

At the last one of dinner. Now that my average age of my friends is mid-60s, I do know a lot of people with flip phones. You sound like me. You come hang out at the Honey Hall. All my friends are at least 70. I'm the IT guy. I had to change a guy's tundra's clock the other day. Cooney said, hey, my clock says it's on Hawaiian time and the daylight savings is about to happen.

And he goes, and I keep pressing buttons and nothing happens. And I went out there. I was like, boop, all right, we're done. Man, aren't old people fun. They are. I can't wait. are a good time i can't wait to be one of them well i can't wait to drive my kids crazy with it you're regressive well yeah there's all you're good you go you're going back going to be a child again

And every now and then crap your pants. That's it, boy. Everyone's right. You know what they say?

You get past 50. Don't trust the part. That is a false statement. You get past about 24. You better not do that. There's times when nope, you better stop. We're going to go down a road there because I got stories. Oh, yeah.

I don't want to talk. I don't, hey, if they're truthful, everybody is crapped on itself. I just wish I couldn't remember the last time I did, but still a very, vivid memory. No, no, no. Yeah. I'm just saying how if they tell you, if they've never done it,

they're lying. Yeah. They like a politician. If his lips are moving, that's the sucker's lying. Uh-oh. Well, my brother once told me he was in the military, too, he was in the Air Force.

He said, you got an authority problem. I said, no, I don't really have an authority problem. I said, I have a stupidity problem. There it is. If you're in a position of authority. Yeah. I was always taught to respect my elders, but I...

Well, hey, sometimes it's just so bad you can't do it. I amended it. I respect my elders unless they're an idiot. Well, no. I don't respect them. There it is.

But you can still respectfully say, yes, sir, move on. Well, when I, hey, respect stops when, hey, I'm working my butt off of you and then, hey, you turn down five E5 stripes, which one of them belonged to yours truly.

They're like somebody might have had a grudge. Oh, hey, oh, yeah. I had a grudge and an attitude problem after that. I just can't imagine you being unlikable. Oh, well, no, here's the thing. I will give the men that was above me, and that was an officer. Yeah. I will say this for them.

They were honest. Because if it had been dishonest, I would have done time in Vietnam in Long Bend jail. I can see how it might be tough to be size boss. Well, look, if I'm out there working my tail off, every day, okay, and like you never have to worry about, okay, did he do this or just? Because no, hey, I did it and more. Yeah. And then to come back and find out that, hey, he's turning down five E5 stripes.

Now, you can't tell me that a person that's got 300 men under him. Can't find five that he'll actually give a stripe to? I got a question for you. Did you take naps when you were in E4? Huh? Did you take? Oh, I always took naps, whatever my rank was. Yeah.

Okay. That's a rule. Yeah, rank, you'll rank and don't come in and play here. That might have had something. Okay, I'm like that old boy in the movies. Okay. Hey, when you're fighting the passes, if you get time to take a snap, you better take a nap.

Yeah. But in the end of telling them, that sucker's going to jump up and try to knife. you. You got to be ready for it all times. Just say, wouldn't that stuff going to knife you?

Oh, yeah. Hey, they had a bill of fire unless you roast over it. Hey, the patches were mean. They were evil, too, because they thought up,

you know. Do you think they were mean or just misunderstood? Oh, no, they were mean, too, because they just, they thought up ways of torturing people. Yeah.

Well, you'd probably been pretty pissed off if somebody show up and start taking all your stuff, too. Well, yeah, no, yeah, I probably would. Perhaps they did get a raw deal in the grand scheme of things. Johnny D, did you notice my beard? It's fuller than it normally is. But it's getting real gray.

It's getting a lot of gray in it. A lot of gray. So my youngest age, she said, she said, dead of your beard is getting great. Yeah, you get long in the tooth. I'll tell you, another thing, your hair is falling out too. Well, Sage don't pull any punches.

She tells it like it. I didn't know. I haven't noticed your hair, but I've got a lot of gray on the left beard on the underneath. I got a pretty good ball spot coming on in the back right there. It happens every all of us, boys. I think I'm just going to get that pull of galvan and get the clippers out. And go full ball?

Yeah, once it goes pretty thin, I just shaving it. But I got to make up for it. with the beard. That's what's so weird. Some people really look good with a ball head. Michael Jordan. No, no, I had a knee-sixth. Charles Barker.

Hey, you never saw that man with that too good-looking women on his arms ever where he went. Eve Harvey. Yeah. And look, I can't think any white. Hey, you had. Look, when you was around this dude, you had to have a good pair of shades. Because, hey, I don't, I don't know if he buffed it or had a shoe shine man.

Was it shining? On his head? Oh, yeah. I mean, there was no hair. That's the only reason I ain't done it, because the commitment level to that. Oh, no, no, no.

It's way more. Oh, no, it's work. Yeah, it's work. Well, they got those electric ones now. No, no, because, hey, you never saw this guy have any little prickly hairs in it now. They were shining.

No, this thing's shine. Plus, I wouldn't get to go talk to the man. I said, I think he had a shoe shine, ma'am. Probably the best in the land. On his head. Pop his head. Popping that rag. Popping that rag.

And singing the blues song. You've got to sing the blues when you're shining them shoes. 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 Triedales beef makes such a good product, baby.

Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson, would say, bye on the grill! Look, before we got Triedails, getting ready to. for a cookout meant 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 Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.

Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need.

Look, because I 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 easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash.

That's trybeef.com slash. Stuck. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Do you get your shoes shined? Oh, yeah, I've signed it full. I've never done it. And I always has a golden man and he sang the song with it. In case you ever wanted to know who gets their shoes shine in the airport,

I sat there and watched his shoe shine. Oh, no. Now, you've got to get his shoes shine. Yeah, traveling with him. I have sat there and watched him. But when you're on the escalator, you can just put your shoes on that little brush. Hey, if the boy don't sing, he'll get a tip. if he sings while he's shining

he'll get a good time. How can you tell if he's singing? Because you're probably singing. He'll be singing if he does mine. I ain't going to it. That's like, that's like, shoot dice.

What? I used to love to watch, you know, the field hand shoot dice on Saturday night. Yeah. Did you? They all got to,

you got to have a good job while you're rolling dice. I do like. Like, hey, Give me a sip because Bobman needs a new dress. Yeah, I do like... Don't know why, and by the way, she's going to need a new pair of shoes too.

Yeah. I do like shooting dyes. I've played craps like twice. It's fun. It's fun. The gambling ain't the fun part. The gambling isn't the smack that is taught. Why is shooting dice?

No, it's fun. I enjoy it. That's the one casino game that I truly enjoy. Well, that smack talk, that's the best thing about Domino's too. Oh, no. Yeah. Hold on. You got to have a rhyme.

You got hype, but you better be really good if you smack talking dominoes. Otherwise, you get your tail stepped. I prefer to just stick to the pizza when it comes to Dominole. Hey, just go for the meal. Don't go for the smack. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to get beat. All right.

The best game of Domino's ever played was Jason Robertson and Allen Robertson against Jimmy Frank and Harold Robertson. Harold and Jim and Frank needed five points. Jason and Al needed one. 150. Two-hand later, guess who lost? The old man. The old men.

And they got strapped. I mean, it was brutal. Jace didn't talk no trash. Oh, no, no. Every time the family got together after that, well, we got to go there again, boys. Well, Jace. How?

Jimbrant, how many points did you all need? You only need it, five? Oh. And how much did Allison and Jason need? 150. And two hands later, you're sucking high-in-tit, boy. Jace, though,'s kind of,

he's got like a rain man quality about him. Oh, he can memorize. Hey, you don't want to play Dominoleville. No, you don't want to pay cars with it. I'm serious. You really don't. I don't want to play anything that involved. He's sitting there telling you, hey.

You ain't got but two plays. Play one of the other one, I'm strapped. Well, then. Jace can count to, 52. I am certain. Oh, no. Like any numbers between zero and 52.

Oh, that's the one thing. It ain't, but 28 dominoes. Yeah. And like when you still, you get seven apiece. And when you start playing, you know,

Jason's already know he knows what you got. One round around the table. One round and he knows what you got. And he knows what everybody's got. That's crazy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the one time I played with him,

he said, play that three, four. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you ain't got one play, play. I mean, he's just like, play that, you play that, all right. I know what you got. We get 60, you get 30. Yeah, and we win.

Okay. Yeah, we win. That's wild. Well, while we're on a current nice thing, we're talking nicely about Jace. So my grandmother recently passed, we've kind of talked about that. But you know how when people bring you food? Yep. And, you know, for some of us, you're like, hey, we're good.

Just thank you. Drop off canes chicken strips or something. Well, Missy texting my mom, she's like, hey, I got a big pot. of soup would love to bring it by the house. Oh, what kind of soup? It is soup weather. It is soup weather. Oh, yeah.

And it was her corn chowder. Oh, praise B. Yeah. See, that was not Big Dave's reaction. Big Dave straight up said, well, I mean, I got a hamlet. I'd have had Big Dave. I'd have had Big Dave. I ain't much on corn soup.

And that's fine. That's fine. But let me tell you, her corn chowder is fantastic. I didn't know that was a style of soup we were going. It's really not a soup. See, I mean, I don't think I ever ate it because, you know, I, I He was a big corn soup man. So Big Dave gets home last,

he went and watched my nieces play basketball. He gets home, goes in the house, and Missy has, on the stove, it's warm, ready to go. And dad looks at it. I might have to try that. Yeah. And then he got to the store this morning,

he said, you better hurry because I'm going to eat it all. He said, he said there's potatoes, there's shrimp, there's sausage. He goes, it's the best thing.

Yeah. The name corn chowder is very misleading. Well, I was just to say, yeah, that's misleading when he started name and sausage shrimp. Yeah.

This has got some meat in it. Yeah. Yeah. It's very hearty. It's not a soup. Yeah. But I was like, I got to go to my mom and dad's house quickly before he eats it all. I don't really know. I mean, I guess you call it a soup. Because there ain't nothing better. It eats more like a gumbo almost. It's good. There ain't nothing better

than a hot soup on a cold day. And buddy, we got a cold day. And I mean, yeah. We got a cold one. I went to work for about an hour and we talked about that soup the whole time. Yeah. He's fired up about it. Which is weird because he's literally like, please nobody bring us food. But then when you know, they'll live across the street, you're like, okay, we'll try it. And he was like, okay, this is legit. Yeah, y'all are on the list. You can bring whatever you want. If you've ever been related to K, you can bring food. You can drop it off. Yeah. Everybody else just send a

door dash gift card and we'll figure it out. Mm, yeah. Yeah. That's, uh, or in, thank you, missy, by the, I haven't had it yet, but I'm going to sneak me. Oh, you're going to be glad you did. Oh, I've had it. I've seen the photo. I was in the moment I saw it. That sounds like a cow. I've got a little picture of old stone and family pulling up. Let's see. I was like, what are we? Oh, yeah.

Look at the side in that picture. He looked like he had having a bad day. Hey, you got them new teeth. Why didn't you got them out? Hey. Why didn't you have them teeth out, man? Didn't talk about it. Just so used to hiding them all this time.

Yeah, just so used to hide them. No, we went to the. Texas Hill Country to the Hawks, right? Well, that's pretty, that is a pretty place. What, Hill Country, Texas? Well, I mean, it's, the scenery is epic. It is. And then then you go up and down and then you look, and there's, you know,

ten of them things standing in the woods over there, you know. Ten of them? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's awesome. We took old bullfrogrogh, old Robeshoe was there, our buddy Kylie was there. Is that who that is? Yeah, look at Kylie. Kylie.

I even talked to old lady into coming. Yeah. Anna's there? I think she had a good time. She had a wonderful time. I think she enjoyed it. I got a thing. What I saw.

She needed a good way. She shoot that tank. No, we didn't get to shoot the tank. But we let old bullfrogue. I asked that guy, I said, what is the best tasting animal on this ranch?

Yeah. What you got out of the? We're a grocery shop. Yeah. That looked like it looked pretty good on the wall, too. Cimitar oryx. Bull. Them,

them horns are 40 inches. Well, good grief. I mean, hey, look, and they, these guys were talking about them, said, hey, you can get a, pick, like a pecan up, and throw it at one of that, that one of them, and he'll slap that

pachar away with that horn. Oh, like a baseball bat. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to see that. They are that good with what they got up there. You know, if you saw some pican at them, they'll knock that sucker away from. Oh, yeah, but I've already ate some of them.

I ate those inner tender loins other day. And that was about the best thing I ever ate. Compared to what? I don't know what to compare it. Well, you say the best thing I ever ate. I think that's compared to everything. It was like a filet mignon type texture. Like a, it just melted in your mouth.

So the texture of the major is really good. Oh, yeah. Tender, no gamey flavor whatsoever. It was a, it was. Well, you don't like beef. I can't. invited me, invite me next time. Oh.

Well, that was your... You're right there in the photo. Well, hey, yeah, but I'm talking about for the frying part. You know, Bullfrog, she got a little shook up on that deal because that, you know, them things, it was a herd of, and now all the cows and bulls look alike. Yeah. So the guy... They both got out.

That's the one right there, but they were running from us. So we had to pretty much, it was a stalk type deal. We had to run it down. And that was a bull, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And she finally had to shoot him on the move. I didn't tell her to shoot, but she just got fed up with chasing it.

And that thing was jogging. They just run up around the mountain and when a Jeep chasing this thing. And she double-lunged him on a slow jog. Bullfrog got a little fill in her. She just flipped that sucker. Oh, no. She loves killing stuff. Oh, she does.

I can't quit looking at Kyle. Kyle's back. Oh, Kylie. Kyle got that underarmor sweatshirt on from 2012. I love it. We got to get Kyle in here one day. Oh, yeah. Well, Kylie, whatever happened in Minnesota, nice.

Whatever. We had a big, um, but the size right, though, the best part about over there is, it's just the scenery, the beauty of it all. You're talking, hey, you're talking about 18,000 acres. Mm-hmm. Okay. Look, when you're coming into it, you come flat, then you're looking over there, and there's, there's bones.

Then you run up, then, hey, then when you get on the range, you know, we just, oh, Texas Hill Country

is one of the top three most beautiful places in North America. Oh, it's incredible. I don't see what is it. Yeah, and then fill that 18,000 acres with 20,000 animals.

And a tank. And a tank, and a flame thrower. Yeah. Yeah. And a tank. And grenade launchers. Yeah,

all of, I'm interested in the grenade launchers. Oh, because, hey, look. Hey, if it's a, weapon that goes boom they got it.

A tank is fun to drive because hey, you can hit hit the brake on one side. It's just been. Oh, yeah. I mean, in a, I mean, in a second. That tank they have there goes 75 miles an hour. M1A booms run 75 miles an hour and hey, can kill anything that if you can see it, you can kill it. The cool part of it, you could be running 75 and kill it.

And that barrel is just a steady. that's crazy yeah and hey you know how much of things five meal a pop didn't you get in trouble

for drag racing one or oh no yeah no ain't that a story I remember no no no yeah no no look no no no yeah I forgot the general gets in his helicopter

yeah it goes around and checks the base is this in Mississippi I know this was at Fort in Fort Knox Kentucky when I was in charge of a service section you were racing oh yeah look

We were racing... We were racing... No, no. We were laced to M60 tanks, M113, personnel carrier. I thought I remembered this. And it's the personnel carried is what's fun. Okay, because they got its metal tracks with pads on the bottom of it. Well, I don't know what the things got in it, but it's got a powerful engine in. So you had, you had ribbed, oh, you would have it just redlined.

And it's done just everything, all you can hear is a bunch of... a squealing metal. Because it's trying to go. Okay, and you've got the brake on and you've got it redline. He's power breaking a tank. Yeah. No, no. I feel like you're going to tear something up, man.

I paid for that. You take the break off and you jump about six foot. When it does that, it's just just destroyed about six pads. Because we're on concrete and when it jumped, it just ate that pad. rough on equipment oh hey we didn't want to think about you know so when he lands and comes by who's in charge I walked up

and saluted I am sir he said what the hell you think you're doing and I said sir we've been working you know seven days a week 18 hours a day we need a little you know break from this yeah a little yo time man yeah a little joy in our lives little fun time he said well not at the expense of these tanks in 1-1-3s

and I said Don't we put pads on them before we're sitting out, sir. You ones. I just, yeah, I'm in charge of this thing. I need to know just what kind of wear and tear these pads can take. That's a good point. You don't want to get in the middle of a fight somewhere. Just not know what you got underneath you.

I don't want somebody blowing smoke saying they need new pads when I know they can take more, you know. That's right. I just got to know my equipment. Research and. I didn't even realize. I didn't even realize. I walked out after he left.

And it's just solid black streets where we've been just. You know, and I said, well, no wonder we got caught. Wasn't hard to see it. Yeah, this ain't hard to see when you up in a car off the helicopter. And the trail led right to you. Yeah, you can't deny it. You do make the military sound fun. No, no, hey.

Or at least being in it with you. I don't know. Well, no, it was. But that may go for most things. Stone, is it fun? That's why I say. He wasn't in it with something. That's what I said.

But you got his attitude. You make the most of a situation. You're not afraid of jail times. Hey, look, here's why it was fun with me. Because everybody wanted to do what I did, but they just didn't have the balls to do it. Because I was ready to take whatever punishment they just out because I'd had it up to here.

Hunter, can we say balls anymore? Yeah, he can say balls. Okay. I have a quick question. have you been to jail? Huh? No, but hey, being honest, okay, being honest, if the guys that were above me were not honest,

I would have done time in Vietnam especially. What did you do over there so by a good, well, hey, I just told a commander that, hey, I wouldn't even wiggle my finger for her. Oh. And I didn't. Hey, and hey, for six months, if you wanted to find, you know,

specialist Robertson he was in the van air-conditioned van with about 360 feet of the best music of the 60s so i'm in air-conditioning just blaring it out so not getting those e-5 strikes starting to add up no no feel hey some of the stories like the one where the uh uh duke and eye finition was floated across the deal but that was my miss deal because they're airtight the containers are airtight so they'll float anyway regardless of the weight yeah wasn't 19 of them standing on top of each other yeah wasn't that but hey but could have been maybe but Phil Phil said he said oh wait a minute hold it you just said something back up what was before you continue with the story what did you have in your pocket and I said a fifth of whiskey and I said at the end of the day it would be empty every day

Every day. I'm glad you to hear with us. Now these stories are making sense about, you know, people stacked on each other carrying a 300 pound engine. You know, they made the movie The Blind About Phil, but if you made one about Si, it would probably have to be a cartoon. Well, no, it would be a comedy.

Yeah. There's no way the things that you say could happen. It would be comedy fiction. Yeah, I'd love to. No, it would know. Nope. No. No.

Oh, hey, take the fiction out. Oh, hey, I wrote two books and him that books. There's a lot of stories about stuff that happened to be growing up. Hey, 95% of that is true. Same thing with my military career. Okay. Agreed. You know what 95% is, an A.

Oh, yeah. That's an A. Well, I'm just saying, hey. Good point. If you make 95s all through school, you're the smartest person in the room. Right, 5% is to make it funny and laughable. As you know, I read the first audio book. I listened to that.

He ain't never got over yet. I would change that 95 number to about 45. No, it's 95, son. 95 stitches. You are a storyteller. Your sweet britches. Oh, man. Yeah.

Oh, size. We had a big time on that. But I did enjoy the military because of the military. because the military was good for me. Okay. Because, hey, look, you ain't got a clue what you want to do in life. I still don't know. I don't know what I'm being when I grow up.

Hey, look, I told them when they was kept, hey, the guy was bugging me. Every time we'd go to New York, the guy from the publisher, he'd come Zoom and sit down by the next time you're asking you, when are you going to write your book? I ain't. I said, I ain't. I said, it ain't doing it. It ain't that issue.

He said, look, hey, buddy. I don't remember who was first. He said, but hey, they went number one. Phil went number one. Willie wrote one, one. He said, hey, look, you'll sell both of them clowns. He said, you need to write the book. Did he say clowns or did you add?

That's about 95%. Yeah. Who gave that book one star? Oh, Philip. Judith? That was a unique book because, hey, it was a lot of fun to read because of the stories. And look, and the thing about the stories... Hold on.

Does it have explicit content? Oh, I, no. Everything in there was true. Does it have expletives? It happened. Well, Mr. Bain says one star because it's not for teens or preteens. Not for preteens. That's for anybody.

What did you talk about? You talk about chasing that one around a car? Well, hey, that's my life. This person wouldn't even. Yeah, I'm going to chase that good looking thing around the car. If you're going to one star, you somebody put your name on it. That was my teenage years. And that was the greatest part of my life.

Five stars people Yeah it says stories by Syriberts And simple books rock man Don't be complicated Oh here we go This person put her name on it Ruth from Arizona gave you one star One star

Not what I expected Just Fluff I feel like that was probably written on the advertisement, Ruth. It was just fluff. How did you end up with this book about Cy Robertson and not expected to be fluff, Ruth? Ruth from Arizona. The one star is on you. I'm looking at you, Ruth.

Somebody said who would buy this one star? You did. That's how you wrote the review. Yeah. I tell you how he's already on the board with the 48 buck. Which one was it? Big nine point. Yeah.

Nine point. About 90 yards. First one of the year. Get him with that icy stare? I got him with that 30-30. The dirty-thirty, 30-th. One-thirty, 30-60 grain. Will it?

The fact that there is a nine-point buck in that part of the world is, Jay, I'm impressed. I don't know how you did it. It took a lot of doing. Oh, no. You had to get rid of some. Yeah. Not deer.

I'm talking about. The people. Yeah. You had to change a lot. One. But still, even in that, I mean, it's not like there's a fence in. He had his work. I'll say this.

He had his work cut out for it. Oh, yeah. But it's done. Like, it's like, to get from where we were with what we had and then to get where we're at. Pro tip. Where we're at right now. Pro tip. You know how you don't get big bucks?

Yeah. You don't. button heads. Yeah, which is what you infill world famous for. You don't shoot the button heads. Yeah.

No, that's why I said he had it worked at all. World famous. Y'all were known. To me, I was easy because, hey,

y'all he just said, hey, look, if you want to go on, you start minding me. Yeah. Get with the program. I'm not taking you.

And actually, it actually made me a better hunter and I really enjoy it. More enjoy it. That two years that we chased toothpick. that was the most fun deer to hunt. Guess what?

I'm glad you didn't kill him because he got the... Is he bigger now? He got to breed an extra year. Oh, he got a son. And now... Oh, no, yeah. Oh, this is wild. Not toothpick, but ice pick.

Ice pick. Because that sucker... Oh, I thought we were going to say dental floss. No, no, look. Hey, look. Hey, that sucker's got a horn coming out like this. Or is it tooth brush? About that big round.

Yeah. That's funny. There you know. And that's toothpick. son. Okay. We'll be after him. There's ice.

Oh, good grief. Yeah. He's a bull now. I ain't a bull. It took me two years to kill his dad. Yeah. 24 degrees. No, that ain't right.

No, that ain't right. Oh, well. That was so wild. But that was last night. Yeah, it would have been close. Yeah. It would have been close there on the river. Oh, we had a frost this morning.

Yeah, heavy frost. Heavy fro. Yeah. That's a big old deer. Yeah, that's why it was cold. We actually filmed that hunt. I killed that nine point for Buck Commander. But I made a great shot on the deer.

But when I got the gun out of the tripod, I looked at the scope, and it was still on three. That deer was 150. Oh, I didn't zoom in. He said, why didn't you zoom in? I said, hey, when you said, there's a big deer down there, you was looking through my doctor. I feel that 30-30 up. At dirty-thirty. Yeah.

And I said, I'm on him. Y'all ready? And they said, shoot him. Boom. Boy, you actually let them reply. Most time you do. No, no. Y'all ready?

I'm on a. Boom. It's all one motion. He's squeezing it, y'all. Already, boom. Boom. But it was a beautiful buck. Oh, pretty dear.

Six-year-old. Yeah. Six years old. There you go. I got slu. And, hey, pretty. pretty good port 150 least what maybe no probably about 135 i got slick by our pigs yesterday evening so oh you got slick by pigs well i was just driving around i got my rifle with me

because boys weren't with me so i was about saying i run across crunchy you don't shoot animal stone are you aware that martin doesn't shoot animals anymore in case i martin's got a pet beaver named crunchy stone he ain't a pet but i tried yesterday i didn't see him yesterday he's and I thought he may be up there sun and stay warm. I'm telling you, that's an amazing animal. I know. I don't mind. I really don't mind the chess game with them.

It's actually kind of fun. You'll like this pitcher, Martin. They're size 9 point. There's this 30-30. I'm going to tell people you got scoped. But the best part about that picture, zoom in on them new teeth, Johnny D. See, he had them out there, but he didn't want to smile with BK. I guarantee.

Look at them. That's because he was upset. He wasn't the one killing. I am going to tell people, though, you got scoped on that one. Whenever you're gone, I'm saying he got a little too close to the scope. No, no, Doc, seen the picture, you know. He said, hey, I didn't know how blacked your eyes. I said, oh, yeah.

Yeah, you blacked both eyes. Yeah, you black with both. When you pull in all 12 of your teeth, you're going to end up with the bruce. It was over here and it was just black. Yeah. You look good, now. You figure pulling 13 teeth in about a 30-minute period. Oh, that's rough.

Yeah. Yeah. You skipped our haircut. Yeah, when you want to redo your haircut? Well, I'm the schedule. So we can have the full makeover. What's your schedule? When you leave again?

Yeah. Let's work on this part first. I fixed it go to Florida Thursday. What are you doing in Florida? Making some money. I'm making some cash. There you go. You need to get old Jekyll's brother, old trace.

I let him trim that beard. No, I ain't going to happen. No. Women only. No, no, no, I'm going to let. Women only. I'm on that. He won't.

Don't let another man touch. He won't have brushed by. I'm going to let a good-looking thing to trim my hair and my beard. We had them an appointment. And then whenever I was going to it, he was taking pictures in Texas. Yeah, I was in Texas. We were getting pictures from Texas when he was supposed to be at the bar. Oh, what I would say pictures from Texas.

You won. I just got a haircut. Yeah. It was fun. Oh, I made a good shot at DRQ in Texas. There you. He sure did. 180.

He still got it. Oh, he got it. It's back. 180 and I duck on with him enough to know he got it. It's ground. Yep.

Everybody talked trash about him, but I duck up with him enough to know he's still. No, no, because that's why I always tell people I said, according to two people and the family,

I ain't never killed anything in my life. That's Phil Roberts or Jason Robert. I was wondering if you were going to let us know. But the truth be known, these boys wouldn't even have any digression if I had to go with them. The best line I've heard him say

when him and jace almost got in the fist of cuffs over them hundred mallards i said i got tire tracks up and down my back from you two idiots i'm sick of it well hey they've been only the whole my whole life you know that the worst part about that that little scenario uh jason killed a milder drake at 125 when he should have shot three at 60 because when he'll get behind the tree hey i can't move because i's got wings on the water i'm looking at them they're right above me you saw the shit though so hey i can't move because if i moved he ain't going to get a shot and i'm sitting this deep in water as it is well there's so many versions of that story but i'll never forget that as long as i live planet.

Oh, I thought we fixed. I thought we fixed that. You were there too, aren't you? Was I, I was there. I was there with water steady coming over my waiters. I was so low in the water. This is cold. I got wet.

You was in that brush pile on my house. I was next. I was next to a brunk bush. And I'm, all this out is my head. I was in a tree top as low as a man at that point. I was about 310 pounds could get. Godwin was there.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, Garvin was under the blind taking a leak. Yeah, Godwin had the wrong weapon in his hand. Yeah. And then Willie wasn't there, wasn't? No. No. So, yeah, that was the normal group.

Yeah. We need to have all y'all in and relive. What was actually funny about that, though, is... I don't like reliving that one. We get back? I thought I was about to do bear crawls or squat jumps or... Yeah. We get back and Phil said, everybody gets your butt over here.

Or just have a belt taken to me. I didn't know what... And he gave us all the bunch of you. He said, hey, from now when I go get the boat, nobody gets out of the blind until I get back in the decoys with the boat. Yeah, that was the first time as a grown adult. I was scared of getting a whooping. Not like.

From Phil? Yeah. Not like a fistful. I'm talking about an absolute whoopin, like bend over my knee. That's what I thought was coming. I was like, oh, boy. Boy, it was serious. This is going to be, it's going to get weird.

It started out wrong. in the morning when they said where are we going oh now we're dissecting at all oh no no yeah no yeah it started out wrong they said well we're going to go the M-ho and i said hey there's probably going to be a flight on today i said you better go to the lake but what well you know and guess what from daylight right hey no no from daylight to two o'clock guess we do for the whole one to go down until two o'clock. We watch them go down in the lake. And I bet you didn't,

you weren't very humble about that, are you? When Si got out there to pick up decoys, he made a bunch of splashing sales. And that's what brought the duck. If I hadn't done it, they would have never cared. All the ducks, three-quarters of them all the way,

heard the splashing. Yeah. Got up. They come over there to get over the top of it. And a bunch of 100. Yeah. Tried to come in the hole. Because they heard all that splashing.

So I got the brain for everything. Okay. My Stone said the best one was important. I said, hey, I've been having y'all make tie marks on my back all my life. And that's true. Everything that happened, guess who's got blamed for it? Silas, Merritt, Robert.

Because you're the youngest. Yeah. Yeah, you're the baby boy. They had a problem with taking the blame, that's for sure. Oh, hey. And it's always fellow meat because I was younger. Well, I just let it, y'all, you know what they say. Blank rolled down hill.

Man, it's roll on him. This happened every single morning with no exceptions. Argument about where to go? Everybody would gather up before we ever left and where we want to go. Well, Phil would say, we got this, and Jay said, I think the wind's blowing this direction, and then they'd wait for Si, and whatever Si said, they did just the opposite. Right, they'd go against it.

And it usually worked out. Usually. Yeah. But that morning when I said, hey, look. That time it didn't. Hey, the weather is right for a flight. You better go to the open water. Nine times out of ten, though, the elm hole's the best hole on the place.

I mean, it is. That generally you can get them. Except when there's a flight. You can get them there. Yeah, but. But nobody, I remember, nobody wanted to go to lake too because it was sunny. It was sunny. You just sit there and just your retinas burn out all morning.

That was the problem. You're facing southeast. Yeah, but we sit there all morning to 2 o'clock, watch it all in Mallard's like. right in the duck blind and you know what's amazing none of us starved ain't that something oh yeah and we still had a pretty good hunt that day i think those folks were going to the south they wasn't going to the lake ah oh hey and i think they just did it for spite the ducks no jace jason them if i said it i ain't going to do it but that happened every one even if they knew it was going to be a slaughter they still would and it would get loud every morning

arguing over where we're going to go. I just kept my mouth shut. I was getting a rig. I realized at that point, that discussion was for three men. And really only two of them mattered. Yeah, there's only two better.

The other one was going to give his opinion, but they'll throw that out. Throw that one out. I just said, I know of a very saying, what y'all need me to tote? Where are we going? Like, let me go get my big rear end somewhere

and we'll call it good. I realized at one point, too, I was mainly there because I had a watch. You were the only one with the watch? Yeah, Phil always bragged about not having a watch until legal shooting hours. Yeah, that and the phone. Yeah. And the first thing I was about it was, all right, somebody, we got them.

What time you got? Yeah, that little black box, call the casey when we eat. Yeah, tell her to get that rice going. Yeah, get that rice going. Turn that gumbo on low. That's right, turning on low. Phil always brat. Well, he said, I know time.

It's almost daylight. It's mid morning. Right about lunch. Yep. Now. Getting dark. I just get dark. And that's dark.

I'm going to bed. You don't need a watch. You don't need a watch until you duck hunting. You need a watch. You need one there. You got to have a watch for duck hunting. Oh, it was always funny. Mark, what time you got?

What time you got? Those were the days. Wouldn't it? Hunting with Phil and then going to eat K lunch every day? Then lay up for about 30, 40 minutes. Yep. And then go ship out the orders. Make it just in time for UPS.

We had a, we had a, we had a, We had a knack. What an amazing story. Yeah, we had a knack for just being right there when he'd pull up. Yeah, here you go, buddy. What an amazing story and an amazing life. Oh, well, you come about it. The K lunch every day seems like that's all it would take.

Oh, praise God. That was incredible. It was so good. That was what he sold me on. Come to work for him. I said, well, you ain't paying much. He said, no, you ain't going to get paid much. He said, but he likes the honest man.

But, hey, here's the deal. But the benefits. A lot of benefits. A lot of benefits. A lot of benefits, son. And he said, hey, and I'm telling you, the ship's out of sea. He says, just, yeah, hey, if you hear when it comes in. So I was so enthralled with it that even after he retired, he'd still wake up and go down there and take a nap on their couch.

That's it. Yeah. And then hang around, eat lunch, make another nap and then go home. All right, I'm going. Yeah, he'd just go hang out with them five, six hours. Did Kay and Phil eat like two meals a day that were that big? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, dinner was always kind of even smaller.

Lunch was the meal. Yeah. Like, lunch was. I've had. But what was incredible is like I would eat if I were down there, like when he went crazy and made me move decoys every night, like one year. It's like, that's, this is dumb. The middle of the night.

Middle of the night. Wait for him to go to bed. But what was crazy is they never ate the leftovers from lunch for dinner. he would always do something else for dinner. I was just happy with the leftovers. Bill didn't eat leftovers. I was like, you give me what we,

let's run that back. Yeah, my wife's saying, well, he won't eat left over. Yeah, let's run that back. Let me eat that again.

We'll eat the leftovers for his steak. A lot of things are better the second day. Oh yeah. Yeah. Gumbo. Gumbo was the only thing he would eat again. Like that was all, he's like,

it'd be better tomorrow. He'd make one bowl. It's going to be good. Did he cook breakfast too? Uh-uh. No breakfast. Nope. She would make,

she would make herself breakfast. Yeah, big dinner. You were on your own for breakfast. Yeah. Big dinner though. Dinner is lunch to you though. Yeah.

Okay. Dad calls lunch dinner and I. Yeah, that's a gob one thing. I think it's a, I think it's an age deal. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. But lunch was the, lunch was the mainstay. That was the big one. Every now that we came in early, she'd whip up some homemade biscuits. Yeah. Oh, man.

Or, I'm hungry. Or she would give us a treat. and have fried pies. Those were the best. Yeah. Yeah. There, they're towards the end

every time she made fried pies, she would hide them. No, no, she had to. She'd make them and hide.

Yes, she had to, though. Especially if Barley was in town. Oh, no, yeah, she had to because if you didn't, they were gone.

They'd gone. That might be the best thing that I've ever ate. Oh, fresh, homemade, fried apple pie that memo came out. I don't know how she did it

Because how many could burly? Well, she was fried. The dough would split and have pockets. Mm-hmm. And it, you know, a pop, where it pops up, it'd be crispy. You know what I miss, I miss that homemade banana pudding. Oh, no. That didn't have bananas in it.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, just to, just to put, open down. It was like a. And it, that was another one that she did different. You ate it warm. warm just like her potato salad i don't like potato salad i don't like potato salad right now but that's but you eat it while it's hot yeah yeah yeah that hot banana it's more it was more like a custard put yeah my favorite one was her custard yeah but her but oh man that that potato salad yeah nobody

makes potato salad that good nobody can make her pie crust willie tried it but he couldn't do it Cato, his hands were too big. Hands were too big. That's what she said. Egg custard. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I get that whole thing.

Oh, absolutely. Yeah, me too. If my mouth was better enough, I could just, and then swallow. I'm serious. You can chew things now, man. You got tea. No, no, no.

You don't have to do that anymore. You can enjoy it. You can savor it. You can just. The thing I, I, I ate pizza in Germany. And it was an Italian place. And they made it, and I were going there, and I would order three,

12-inch pizzas, pepperoni. And then I'd roll it up like a burrito. And ate there, all three of them. There you go. But if I could, if I could have put that 12-inch pizza in my mouth at once, I would have. Because you didn't have to chew it. You just put it in your mouth to eat it.

You just swallow it. That's why her egg, egg custard pie. Oh, Lordy. I could just put a whole 12 inch pie in my mouth. Her pie crust were the best. Oh. Nobody can duplicate it.

I've never had it. It's sad. It's got to be thin, and then I don't know how she gets the flaky part. You get it thin, flaky, buttery. Yeah. But the pie of pies was as key as that was when you threw it into hot grease, it would cause bubble air pockets all over that fried pie. Well, let's go eat lunch.

Martin looked like he's ready for the post. I can eat a dozen of them. Yep. Did she take that powder sugar and drink? Yeah. I was going to eat a dozen of them right now. Oh, yeah. All right.

I'll see y'all next. I'm in, too. You ready, let's pray our way out of here. I want a mercy or something. Hey, look, this is, we'd ever celebrate an episode 500 because we had Blake Cook on and then Morgan on. Please go check that out if you didn't see them. But, whoa.

We're not done yet. No. I don't have his headphones. size done. But we're going to keep this thing rolling as long as y'all keep listening. But 1 Corinthians 1031, so whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Amen. And ain't you a bunch of fried pies?

And Cy says eat you a bunch of fried pies, but he's already thrown the headset off. So we'll see y'all next time.
