Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everybody, we're back. Welcome back. Welcome back. On the duck call room. Every time I sit in this chair, Clay McConnell calls me. It does not matter. I don't care what day it is, what time a day. It's like he knows.
Starting point is 00:00:22 It's because his hair is full of secrets. Yeah, it's like an antenna. It must start tingling. Maybe he's got some spidey senses or something. We should put a picture of Clay up just so people know. Well, I don't know if he's had his tips frosted lately. So we'll still. Martin, who sent this in?
Starting point is 00:00:37 Before we get started. Man, I forgot his name, but he knows that he sent it in. We have an action figure of a giraffe, along with an action figure of Uncle Si, which I didn't know we're still around, riding on top of the giraffe. That's what I need to be, right there. Right there.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Had the Cy action figure's been around long enough now to be, like, vintage? I mean, are they, like, coming back into style? Size's vintage. Is he? It's got a better. I am, vintage. 75 years worth of it. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Do you feel vintage or do you feel brand new? Oh, yeah. No, no, I feel vintage. What makes you feel? Except for the mental capacity of it. The mental capacity of I'm a 14-year-old. I will say you're sharper than a lot of... Than most.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Yeah. I mean, you ain't showed no signs of slowing down other than you want to ride a giraffe. That makes me question where your head could be sometimes. You can buy one of those exact action figures on eBay right now for $5. It's pre-owned. It's not sealed. Does it come with a teacup? No.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Because I've got the teacup in my office. I forgot it. I just don't know where said teacup fits. I couldn't make it fit in his hand. Looking at this. I wonder if a giraffe can outrun a racehorse. You know? The thoroughbred racehorse.
Starting point is 00:01:56 We're going to have to... A real racehorse. Hey, send somebody an Instagram message asking them that instead of Googling it. Yeah. Never mind. That's a different thing. Before we started recording, I'm sorry. Who can win the race?
Starting point is 00:02:08 A giraffe or a true racehorse? I think I'm going racehorse. Who would? He just looks awkward. He's got to be top-heavy, though. Yeah, but look at his long legs. Yeah, but... I mean, he can cover a lot of space in, like, a few steps, but...
Starting point is 00:02:27 And not all that, this animal is chased by lions and such is that. I think when he gets up big, he ain't chased by munch. Well, here's the deal. The horse has won the Kentucky Derby every time. The giraffes never won it? Giraffes have never won it. I don't know. Have they ever even qualified?
Starting point is 00:02:44 I've never seen one. I don't think they've ever a race for it. Must mean they're slow. You big dummy. I can't find, apparently no one else has ever considered this question. That's the question you need that. Oh, man. Can a giraffe, a giraffe enter the Kentucky Derby?
Starting point is 00:03:03 If it could, I would go And I would wear a stupid hat And I would be so excited to be there I'm only going if they let's out jockey it So Hey, you got to have him up here You got to get up high Oh, a horse is going to whip him
Starting point is 00:03:19 No Yep You think a horse would win it Top speed of a giraffe 37 Oh Quarter horses I'm assuming that's the fastest horse
Starting point is 00:03:29 Thorough bread Have been clocked running 55 Yeah that's out 55. That's like me and Martin. A giraffe owner on 37? Well, I would think if you look back in time,
Starting point is 00:03:42 you know, they brought a lot of horses over here from whenever they settled, when they settled America. They didn't sell the West with a giraffe. No cowboys on a giraffe. No, I mean, I did. Water, baby!
Starting point is 00:03:54 I'm just. I hate to bow. I mean, is a man who watches as many Westerns as you do. It would have been a lot cooler if they did, though. It would have, it would have. Man, those movies would actually. They'd be shooting out on everybody, right?
Starting point is 00:04:15 Yeah, it'd make it a way easier shot. Yeah. Because you could see where you miss. They eat a lot, man. Kick dust up right beside him. I got this for feeding a giraffe at the Houston Zoo. They gave you a bracelet? How much that cost you?
Starting point is 00:04:27 Well, like 15 bucks. 15 bucks for three pieces of lettuce and three. three bracelets. Well, it is like Earth Week. It's cool that we're talking about giraffes. Is it Earth Week? I think, isn't it? No idea.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Aren't we that time of year? We're crowding it if it's not. We're around it. I can't believe that he can't reach but 37 miles an hour. Hold on. I'm about to show you this picture, side. This is a good one. But I got to send it to my computer.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I bet if there was a short neck giraffe, he could go a lot faster. I bet that's a lot of wind resistance up high, man. Like if he could, like if he could, if he could, if he could, if he could, if he could lay it down. though. Streamline. But he's going to trip over that tongue. It is a long tongue.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Here you go. Here was the Houston Zoo right there. There you go. Look. That's me and Lottie feeding a giraffe. Look, and she looks like she doesn't want to kill the giraffe, which is new for her. It is very new for her. But like you got to go up a lot of steps to feed a giraffe, like 10 of them.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Yeah, that's pretty cool. Look where they've bent that deal. Oh, yeah. They don't bit that. Or is that supposed to be like that? I think it's supposed to look like sticks or something. Oh, I got you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Oh, so that sticks that are bent, not the metal. It looks like it's bent iron. Can you pet him? No, you're not supposed to touch him. Not touch him, okay. No touching. No touching. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:05:42 No touch. Here, yeah, you can't touch it. If you go to the zoo and they let you feed the giraffe, they won't let you touch it. So you probably don't need to go. Well, if he touches you. Well, that's out of your control. Hey, hey, I was just standing here. That rascal touched me.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I don't know. I was just standing here doing this and he leaned in. That fact, he kissed me. I would like to pet a giraffe. And it was all tongue because his tongue's that long. Look at him. Look, there we are actually feeding him. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:06:10 I'm between them to take the blow if the giraffe decided to get, you know. Exactly. Does he have horns on top of his head? We've discussed this in full, and I can't remember, to be honest. He's sticking her tongue out just like he's sticking his out. Oh, no, no. It's kind of cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Oh, yeah. It was a good time. Houston Zoo is a good one. And he's just eating some lettuce. Hey, I tell you. y'all the Tyler Zoo got run ostriches again? No, but I'm looking at that ostrich in the background. Why do they always put ostrich with the drafts?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Like all the long neck freaks got to go in the same pen together. Why do you got to do that, zoos? Separate them. They ain't got to be categorized. Does an ostracists really stick his head in the sand? I hear that. I don't know, but he'll put that one toe right through the middle of your chest. My uncle had an ostrich farm at one point.
Starting point is 00:06:56 You've had a deal with the ostrich, right? Yeah, yeah, I've been treaded by one. My uncle had an ostrich farm and you could be outside the fence running back and forth. You weren't beating them at a race. No. Those are fair. Osher's eggs is about that big wrap. Yeah, Jordan brought one home.
Starting point is 00:07:11 They, uh, Willie bought one on that, on his little adult Disneyland trip he went on for their breakfast. And they, like, did? Yeah, they took a drill bit and made an omelet for, like, ten people or something. It's like two dozen regular chicken egg. Yeah, you can't crack them. No, they took a drill bit, like, drill hole in the top, drill hole in the bottom, and hear it come out. Cooking with power tools is the best.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah. Well, I mean, if you go cookies. Oh, you can't crack them? I mean, you could, but it ain't going to, it ain't, it ain't a, you ain't putting it in a pan. Yeah. I wonder what kind of pan it'd take to hold that. Well, I think that probably has to be pretty good size. Hey, look, folks, if you're wondering why there's only three of us in here, we have a special
Starting point is 00:07:50 guest today, but he only has a certain amount of time to be with us. He's a busy dude. He's a very busy dude. He's also vintage. And he's, he's quick, too. I mean, he'll be in and out here for you even know what happens. You won't even know what he said. We don't even want to give many clues about who it is.
Starting point is 00:08:06 But look, we're going to take our first break and we'll be back right after this. Hey, but before he gets here, I officially need life advice. Okay. I'm going to ask you inside for that. All right. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means?
Starting point is 00:08:24 That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's because of our friends over at Triedales, beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sal Robertson would say, buy on the grill!
Starting point is 00:08:40 Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Now look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef.
Starting point is 00:09:30 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 tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. In case you're wondering what just happened in that break, we continue to talk about ostrichags for an extensive period of time in our experiences. Because why wouldn't we? Because ostrichs are cool.
Starting point is 00:09:54 But I have a story, and I didn't really know how to respond to it being a dad. Well, I've got a lot of time under my belts. It doesn't involve Lottie, and it doesn't involve bins, because why would it? It involves Carter. So yesterday, we're at the church spring fling, right? So all the church, we all go to church. Then, hey, everybody meet up at Crowley Park this afternoon, bouncy houses, barbecue, fellowship, fun, all the good stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:20 You know, we're going to say a prayer over the meal. Then we're all just going to hang out and talk. Be a church family. Good time. Everybody's having a good time. Carter, had a great time. he's playing well then i lose track of him which is a normal thing that happens and i'm like i wonder where he's at but he knows stay here so i'm not worried about it and i look over and he is wearing an apron
Starting point is 00:10:39 and he is loading up a trailer like he has joined the serve team at church and i'm so proud and like i'm like oh he's just in the way and they're being nice and i'm look over i'm like he's working he's working great that's cool so he's getting the boxes he's combining boxes of chips throwing away stuff. He's picking up trash. I'm like, this is awesome. I've done. Maybe we're on the right track. Hashtag win. So then my friend April comes up to me like an hour or so later.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Uh-oh. Because he'd come up to me. He's like, Dad, I think I'm tired of doing this. I said, hey, man, you did your part. Good job, buddy. Go ask him to take the apron off and do whatever you want. Go get in the jump house. So then she comes up to me a little while later and we're good friends with April. She kind of runs all the serve team stuff at church. and she goes, your son is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I said, oh, no. What is he done? Has he done? What has he said? Was he just in the way? I'm sorry. I thought it was helping. Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:11:39 She goes, no. He comes up to me. He says, hey, can you get this apron off? I'm done working. And she's like, oh, sure. Hey, Carter, thank you so much for helping. And he looks at her dead eyes and says, cool, where do I get my paycheck?
Starting point is 00:11:55 My man, straight up, saw an opportunity. Said, these people need help. and I'm going to deliver and then. That's right. Then I'm going to get paid. Then I'm going to get paid. Show me to check, boys. So he missed the lesson about serving.
Starting point is 00:12:08 He missed the fact that he was just helping out. Because I tell him, hey, work hard, man, and you'll get paid one day. You've got to work hard and earn your money. And it's been like, because he just thinks money grows on trees right now. He's like, hey, give me some bro blocks or something like that. And I'm like, hey, no, you got to work. I go to work every day. That way we can afford things.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Just because I want to. Yeah. So now. So now he thinks, oh, I have two case deal. So now he thinks, oh, I see a problem. I just go in, help, and somebody somewhere will hand over the money. Well, praise God, that initiative still exists in America. That's true.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So I was like, I'm probably. It may be a minor bit misplaced. At least he's got the right idea. But the initiative is there because, hey, he's about to be out of school for summer. You want him up here for an application? Maybe. I don't want him at the honey hole. I need to do.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Anyway, but he straight up is like, What's up, church? Hey, Jesus, appreciate your paycheck time, bro. Hey, way. Hey, it's biblical. A worker deserves his way. So how much did you pay? We went to Dairy Queen.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I was like, look, bro, you ain't getting paid. April claims she's going to send him a $1 check from the church, which I'm going to have to add back on because I won't be able to sleep at night. Better send $1.54 cover that stamp, too. Good point. I said, I will not deposit it, and we will frame it. but I'm like, I love it. I'm proud of you, but like, you got to know, sometimes working is just for the Lord.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Hey, look, here's what I'm going to tell you on this deal. Don't do nothing. And I thought about that. Yeah, don't do nothing. I mean, commend the effort. Just tell him there's different times and different places, but commend the effort. Hey, man, we appreciate you working hard. Like, that's exactly what you have to do.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Just not there, per se. You don't want to confuse them. I picked up all those chip bags and never made a dime. You made Jesus very happy. That'll make him happy. I tell him that. You made Jesus very happy. Abraham Lincoln would be so proud of you.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Who's his hero? George Washington? Your man, George, he's got it. Like, he's very happy that you're an American. But next time, let's talk before we discuss work. Like, if you feel the need to work, just say, hey, man, is this something I can make some money at? No. No, this is for the church.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Okay, cool, I'm going to go to the jump house. I mean, that's probably the answer you're going to get. That's fine. But if you say yes, I mean, he's liable to jump in there. I mean, he gave you a solid hour. That's tight, man. How old is he? Nine?
Starting point is 00:14:42 But, yeah, going to be 10. Yeah. Oh, he was working. I just thought, I got 20-year-olds here that ain't got that initiative. And they do get a paycheck. They clock in and clock out when they remember to. Hey, I thought it was hysterical when they remember to. I remember to that.
Starting point is 00:14:57 but B, I was like, this is funny, but like, it's a little tough navigating because you're like, well, I don't want him to think, oh, if I just pick up a broom and somebody's going to pay me. But I was a proud dad, and then hilarity ensued because he's Carter. Yeah, I mean, where's my page? Where do I pick up my page? Where do I pick up my page? We're at the park, son. You think the accountant from church is over there, just writing checks to everybody?
Starting point is 00:15:19 Hey, he ain't worried about it. You'd have been, yeah, he should have just taken about a five out of your pocket and said, thanks for the help. I called it good. But, you know, hey, good on him, man. Hey, you're raising a good kid. Like, if he at least shows the initiative to see a task that needs done and goes and does it, hey, you're winning at Parrington. And then I was trying to get him to Dairy Queen. He's like, nope, I got other stuff to do.
Starting point is 00:15:42 I'm like, hey, now you are in the way. Like, now we're loading up and getting out of here. Like, let's go to Dairy Queen, man. We're proud of. A nine-year-old me would have took a Dairy Queen bribe so fast that it made your head spins. Well, who dip cone for everybody. So did I. That Oreo, Brookie Blizzard turned it upside down.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Hold on. And the dude that works at Dairy Queen, he got to be 19 or 20. Working hard by himself up there. And my kids start, hey, Carter was like, you just, that was upside down. Oh, blew their mind, huh? Blue is mine. Kid, like, took time out of his day, explained it to it. It was working hard.
Starting point is 00:16:19 So Dairy Queen, man, appreciate you entertaining my child for a minute there. There you go. Look, if it'll stick to that cup. imagine what it does to you entered. It's still inside me and I love every minute of it. Derry Queen Rules. Anyway, that's the latest on life adventures with Young Carter. Hey, I say you're winning, man.
Starting point is 00:16:38 I'd just leave it at that. If they send him a check, though, I'm framing that sucker up. Oh, his first paycheck, I'm stunned that his first paycheck isn't going to come from the honeyhole. I mean, that's what's the coolest thing ever. He gets a buck. Man, that's cool. I felt like a brother where art thou. Lots of money be made in the service of our Lord.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Bible sales, gentlemen. Hey. Big Dan. Big Dan. Big Dan. Anyway, that was what funny happened to me over the weekend, and I thought you'd get a kick out of Carter. Hey, I can appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I just hope mine shows some kind of that sort of initiative. I got one that seems that it's going to be that way, and I got one that appears to be lazy. Well, Carter's big thing is I think he thinks he just wants to be rich to fix all the things that I have broken at my house and that he complains about he's like dad this place a dump I said I won't boy
Starting point is 00:17:29 they're remodeling the porch of course it looks bad right now they just tore it all down he called your house a dump oh yeah boy now that may be something we need talking about he's like it's all broken
Starting point is 00:17:41 I said that's why these guys are here like we had some rotten boards on the porch he almost fell through no not really but he is a trip and whatever um oh
Starting point is 00:17:52 here's what he said the other day Oh, even bad. I love it. I can't wait for this stage because I love honesty. This one got wild. We were late leaving for Easter lunch. We were supposed to leave at 1115. The whole family knew it. We're like, hey, we got to go. We're in the car. We're going on the road. And Allison goes, Carter, we were supposed to leave 20 minutes ago. We got us to go. And Carter goes, that's not very smart. It's 18 minutes ago. I said, boy! But he's just. is so literal he doesn't catch on like no we're we're just rounding buddy so then we got a whole lesson and rounding did you do you turn around give him a low five who was the reason he was who was the reason he was like all of us oh everybody there's a hundred people in my household but he uh yeah
Starting point is 00:18:40 he was like 20 minutes no 18 you dummies wrong when you're dealing with a very literal child it's tough so presentation but yeah we should get in another literal person in here yeah who only speaks very literally. Which one? Our guess. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he doesn't talk in metaphor at all. Never.
Starting point is 00:19:01 But look, let's do it. Yeah, let's take a break. And we're going to bring... You've asked for it. It'll take us a second to get him here. Give you a mild hint. He's from Tennessee. That's all I'm going to tell you.

There's some good stuff. Get you all a Mountain Man t-shirt while you're on there. Hey, Mountain, I pull that back up. What are you looking at in that picture?
Starting point is 00:25:47 Whatever it was. You made a match. The way he's got their eyes cut. Oh, no. Somebody caught me in a surprise. These pictures they put up in bed. I don't know where they get them. I looked like I was behind a pine tree taking a leak.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I was about to say the same thing. You look like you got caught taking a leak behind some bushes. Like, uh, whoops. My bet. Give me a minute. Let me zip up, boy. That does. I ain't seen.
Starting point is 00:26:20 you know, it blowed up that big. That gum, I got to do something about that. Y'all, y'all, I just blowed up enough. Who's doing that back? That's John David. There's a bloodshot wrestle in my eyeball. That's good stuff. Never mind my head on there.
Starting point is 00:26:40 It is good stuff. Man, and use it on burgers, chicken, steaks, on the grill, and it's blacking in as well. Oh, you can do it. at all. Y'all've had black. It's like a Swiss Army knife of seasoning. Yeah, you ain't, what?
Starting point is 00:26:54 Hey, what? That'll blacken your fish right up, shrimp. Mm-hmm. It's hard to find any shrimp up there at East Tennessee, ain't? It is. I'm going, I guess, somebody's had a birthday party, and after that, I'm going south to go get me some shrimp. You're kind of a world traveler, you know?
Starting point is 00:27:15 You don't mind driving anywhere. Well, it's been singles of dead burn long, My dog was born in the back of a greyhound bus, I guess. It's been riding me. Don't you mean a blueheeler bus? Yeah. Not a gray ham watch. Not a good march.
Starting point is 00:27:32 My dog was born in the back. Blue healer bus. Blue heller bus. He didn't ride ever since he's a puppy. But yeah, I do go places. Yeah, that's. Making moves. He is.
Starting point is 00:27:45 And that's good. Mount Man, it's good to have you. We're going to jump into another break and we'll be back right. after this. 10-4. Thank you. The first came, the first batch
Starting point is 00:27:57 they come out with it wasn't near about his red and it just didn't have enough kick. It was just like
Starting point is 00:28:05 cuck. It was missing the boo-ya. It was mountain man's cuss even. Without the boo-ya. It couldn't
Starting point is 00:28:13 have an exclamation mark on it now if you wanted to but it needed just a little bit. We're worried about you know
Starting point is 00:28:21 people up north you get a little bit too hot for them, which is nothing to us. Oh, no, I can't eat it. But I got something kind of in between where Yankees down to us rednecks. How would you describe the flavor of that? Describe, oh, it just excites your taste buds. I'd have to have the taste buds.
Starting point is 00:28:46 It's like, kind of like Tony Shackery's crossed with a blackening. and then a secret ingredient that I can't figure it out. You don't know your own. He's got the flavor, but you just can't quite tell what it is. Is this guy? That one open? I'll try it right now. Let's open it.
Starting point is 00:29:09 It's open because it's leaking. Look, that ain't no bag of laced tater chips. Mountain Man fills it up to the top, folks. You ain't got no gap in it. All right. Let me. Yeah. Martin says put the top bag on and throw it out here.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I'll eat it. Throw his head around there. No, it smells good. It was just a little, I mean, we are doing this in the morning. Yeah. Snipping season is not a solid meat. Get up, J.D. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:39 No, it smells good. No, oh, my, that was a heavy poor. That was heavier than I meant to do. That was a heavy pour. That's really good, though. Yeah, it smells great. Like, I'm not discounted now. It looks is good.
Starting point is 00:29:54 But I'm out of water. Yeah. If it does have kaboo. We're going to take a break and I'm going to go get a glass of water. It ain't too hot. No, it ain't too hot. That was just too much. You dumped.
Starting point is 00:30:06 That was an accident. When Martin says the bottle comes full, he's not joking. I wouldn't kidding. My husband man trying to take the lid off. It's leaking out to set. Hey, you get your money's worth of you, both folks. Dang right. Stuffed in there.
Starting point is 00:30:23 He took a tablespoon of it He's still alive All I got to say is kabuia That does have a good smell Oh, I wouldn't get it. Oh no, it's good It is good I would rather that on food
Starting point is 00:30:37 Than just straight As much as I ate But It's really good on food When I snap my head It's really good on food Hey You ain't getting cheated on this folks
Starting point is 00:30:49 This baby is to the top When I When I snapped my head, it wasn't because it didn't smell good. It was just stronger than I thought. And I remembered it's 8.45 in the morning. My eyes watering. I'm good. Mine are.
Starting point is 00:31:03 That should make, you know, like a steak taste really good. Oh, yeah. Shrimp. Yeah. It smells like a good. Now, hey, I understand what he was talking about. I wonder, well, it's got something that you, hey, you just, it's good. Try it in your teeth.
Starting point is 00:31:21 No. Oh, yeah. You know, it'd be good on the rim of your glass for your spicy mater juice? Oh, no. Yeah, it'd be good on that. I mean, I'm to be honest, I'm not sad that I ate that straight. I'm sad that the bite was that big, but. Yeah, it covered you tongue.
Starting point is 00:31:36 It was good. Yeah, no, there you go. It was better than them lemon packets. That didn't make you good good. Glad you like it. Johnny Deacon. Oh, I need a glass of water. Yeah, let's not kid ourselves.
Starting point is 00:31:45 But it probably was way better than Dunkin a little Debbie and W sauce. It was way better than a vion of sausage. I'll tell you that much. I'd, hey, what if you had a Vienna with some caboo y'all? It would actually. It's good on Vienna sauce. Look at there. It would make it way better.
Starting point is 00:32:01 I forgot about that. Oh, that. Heck, I feel like I'm, well, I'm 65, going to be 66 this year. Some days I feel like I'm going on in 83. I don't know if I ever has in them days or not. Oh, yeah. But I said, well, if you're going to do it, do it now because. I'd like to get a show where I involve kids in it, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:26 where kids could have a good show to watch, you know. Of course, no cussing carrying on, no suggestive stuff. No liver punches. None of that. Well, look, no liver punches. You don't tell you that. DeGum Willie leaked that out, didn't it? Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:32:49 But look, so I'm going to do this part quick. but um sigh always tells the story on here about when him and willie what in the world are you doing i don't know what's happening i hear bert barking yeah evil bert cabigal i was looking at mount man's facebook i didn't know the tv played the sound now there you go we got a new tv that dog did sound for me that's bert yeah that's bert but sigh always tells the story from the from duck dynasty when him and willie were on your show. Do you remember that episode? I do. I do. What did he do to annoy y'all? Do you remember that? What will he do? No, sigh.
Starting point is 00:33:32 What was he doing? Did it go something like this? That bail. And I think he stole the bell when he left. This might be it. There it is right there. Is that it? I believe it is. I had more fun on that episode. because when we walked in, your receptions had a little plex glass window, and this bell was sitting on the counter in front of it. And she wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:34:02 So I come in and I, as soon as I seen it, I was behind Willie. I said, yep, okay, I got what I'm going to do for the show today. And it was... That was good. I rang that bell the whole time I was there. I knew that I would want to talk about that
Starting point is 00:34:18 because I knew that's where. I learned something there. I had more fun that you're old. I have like a weird feeling right in this region where I think my stomach starts from that seasoning. That was a heavy dust. You got a weird feeling, boy. Heavy.
Starting point is 00:34:33 This water's delicious. Yeah, you needed that for a chaser after that big goat for that. So Mount Man, I know one thing that they've asked to have the on here. Some have for a while. so we finally were able to link up and get everything. But if you had to pick one memory from Duck Dynasty,
Starting point is 00:34:54 what is that? What is your one memory? What's the one thing that stands out? I got one of you, but I mean, of me personally. But I was curious on yours. Well, I always enjoyed the free food, you know. But it's a lot of chance. choose from. I really enjoyed filming off my back porch that time. The wood chipper scene
Starting point is 00:35:24 where Willie about, well, he had to go and it wasn't number one either. That was pretty good. I believe, you know, I believe, Cy, you were really getting to him in that scene. A lot of times, you know, we may act like it's bothering us more than what it is. I believe Sire really got to him because Willie, after they shut that scene down, I was aggravating him on the microphone there. He took that football. I don't know if y'all remember him throwing that football at me as hard as he could. I'd just seen it come and I stuck my hand up and bang and hit my hand.
Starting point is 00:36:09 He was headed right at my head. and I had it kind of bounced in my hand like a one-handed catcher that failed, dropped off the porch, and Jace got it, and Willie runs off, just run to the bathroom, stuck my bathroom up.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Well, I think the one I remember most is you walking down the road with that squirrel. That was a good one, you know. Willie is a heartbreaker, you know. I found out out. He just took my squirrel, you know. But I made $5. on it.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Did you ever think walking down the road with a squirrel would get you to speak in at places and t-shirts and kibuya seats? No. No, no, no, no. Phil says that. Oh, man, man over there. Squirrel made him famous. Oh, and all that squirrel.
Starting point is 00:37:01 That's what I told him. I loved that squirrel. I tried to get it back from Willie, but couldn't get it back. I technically answering a broken air conditioner call on a Sunday evening's. You know, I'd never dreamed it a million years. Willie asked me that. I knew Willie is involved in Buck Commander and Duck Commander and this, that, and the other. But I thought maybe it was for a commercial or something for one of them.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I'm outdoor channels. And I didn't know really what I was getting into. I walked out that open field where I had a... camper or Jackson was trying to get it up in the air or duck blind and as well I guess what was a possum or cocoon or something scared Willie out of it and uh I didn't know that it was actually A and A nationwide I asked Willie when I got over to talk to him first time and he said it is A&E Mountain Man nationwide. I said,
Starting point is 00:38:10 Mm. And it was on after that. But I think I was only supposed to be in one scene. That's what I hear, but they like me. I'm glad they like me. The people love you.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Well, I love them too, you know. I love everybody. I mean, we're supposed to love everybody, but they like me too. A lot of times in life, I'll just settle If somebody likes me Because there ain't no way they can love me Sometimes I feel
Starting point is 00:38:46 But maybe I'm underestimated But yeah They love me and Heck it went on So you went to trade school route Mm-hmm You could have actually getting a degree In college
Starting point is 00:38:58 Yeah Whatever And then see you No room dancing He could fix anything I suggest that to anybody nowadays I get a trade because I feel like we're going to need more of them in the future and yeah I'm off of trade schools you know you ain't got to have a college degree to keep up with me
Starting point is 00:39:19 I don't take that right I don't think any truer words have ever been spoken oh man I like that so how long did you do you did heating there what close to 40 years yeah yeah yeah I did it at all. I mean, everything is. You still doing it? No, not lately. Just personally. If you air goes out and you can't bring you fix it. Or good close friends or family.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Yeah. Well, at 66, you probably don't need to be climbing in them crawl spaces where that stuff lives. Don't give me an extra year. I'm just 65. I'm just 65. Oh, 60. Oh, 60.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Yeah, close enough. Yeah. Oh, I don't, you know. I've heard of there had to drag. A few of them younger brunks out in the days, you know, they couldn't take it. Them young kids, they ain't used to that heat some of them. Yeah. Well, let's take our last break.
Starting point is 00:40:16 We'll be back right after this. All right, we're back. We're back. Mountain Man, this is a segment where we read the fans' emails. Hello at duckcallroom.com. And here's the deal. People have been clamoring since we've started this thing to have Mountain Man on the show. But through moving and all that, we finally have linked up.
Starting point is 00:40:39 So for all those emails that say you need Mountain Man on the show, you're welcome. He's there. We did it. Can't, uh, don't know what I was going to say to that. That was weird. Anyway, oh, I can't read all of them because there's literally, I typed in Mountain Man on my emails that says many. It doesn't even give me a number. One of many.
Starting point is 00:40:58 One of many. But Sloan emailed back a while back and asked a question that he has. All right. Go ahead. How much of Mountain Man speech management. are accurate versus embellishment. Well, been here for 30 minutes and it ain't changed. I think some people think that you just put on the slow profile.
Starting point is 00:41:24 I'm that embellum in a word. I just hadn't read in the dictionary yet. But yeah, I see what you say. I've had that a time or two, but after hanging out with me a while, they know them like yes but i had a lady say that she's an elderly lady and i really respected her and she was at a restaurant and listened to me talk at table next to me and of course i took pictures with everybody at the table she is with but her and she came up to me says do you really talk like that all the time young man i said yes ma'am i do she said i don't think you do and then she
Starting point is 00:42:14 walked on and that one i kind of hurt my feelings a little bit you know i mean who on earth could fake that for that long it'd be hard to stay in character the whole yeah that's a tough one That's why everybody asked me like, see, he really talked like that. I'm like, well, I'm only for 10 plus years, and I've never heard anything different. Pretty much, you know, every now and then if you get excited or something, I might talk a half a mile an hour faster or so, but not much. Which will get you up to a solid of like 0.6. Well, my man, did this go back to your second grade teacher that slapped you?
Starting point is 00:42:55 Hey, I look. Is that what caused this? He said, I'm going to start talking slow. If she's still alive, you're still alive, you? you out there and you know who you are. I'm coming after you. I'm going to sue you, lady. You run.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Oh, you better write her a check. I like Minnesota is where this happening. Oh, Minnesota. You better send her a check if she's the one that got you to talking like this. Who knows? You may never. Then again, yeah. You might have a little check.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Caboia. Yeah, I'll send you a jar of my career. Good. Special cibouia sauce, baby. Hey, it's rock Minnesota. They got some of this up there. They wouldn't know how to take it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Oh. You ever had somebody up north? I ain't saying this up north. I ain't picking on the Yankees, y'all. But look, you take some green beans and some straying beans, and you got a girl sired of them, and she dumps them off of her big spoon on your plate, and they bounce.
Starting point is 00:44:00 that's when they ain't going to have much flavor in them, y'all. They ain't been cooked down to where they hit and plop. If they bounce off your plate, all they do is throw them out of the can into a skillet and warm one and put them on your plate. You said if the green beans bounce. They'll bounce. I'd watch them bounce for.
Starting point is 00:44:22 See, I'm talking kind of fast. Green beans that are like a check. Hey, bounce, baby. You don't want them. That's right. Don't any of them. They ain't been cooked. They're going to bound.
Starting point is 00:44:36 That probably got a lot of other vegetables as well. Yeah. That's funny. All right. And then Ben from Florida, he emailed in a while back and said he had a question for anybody. Which, I mean, I think, Ben, you should probably have known this without asking. But is the name Mountain Man, Mountain Man's actual name? um i look i was mountain boy when i was a child
Starting point is 00:45:06 mountain baby well they grow into mountain man grow into a mountain man that's what he called his son mountain paul for a long like ground mountain gramps or something's coming up that's what he that's how he used to introduce his son whenever he'd come somewhere with us This is my son, Mountain Boy. Mountain boy. Oh, Mountain Boy. I'm glad he's got him a girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:45:39 That boy, he loves the ladies. But speaking of him, I'll say it's real quick not to throw you off a subject. He has got him a girlfriend. He's had for a long time. She works for in the Labnam, Tennessee, but she works for the Sheriff's Department. So he gets out of hand, she just going to handcuff him. and lock him on up. That's only, yeah, Mountain boy, but look, I've been called, I had nicknames through high school.
Starting point is 00:46:07 They called me Geronimo. I looked a little like an Indian. Then one guy shortened it up and called me Mo, like three studious, Mo, I guess. And then one guy called me modal, modal one day, and that stuck. For years, some people still call me modal. but one guy when I got a job doing electrical work with these rednecks from Cottontown, Tennessee, they couldn't say my last name, Gerardi. And they had spit all over herself trying to say it.
Starting point is 00:46:39 One of them finally just says, G. Roy! And when he said G. Roy, that stuck. And I've been a G. Roy for a long time until I moved here. Well, I live in Indiana, though, they called me Tennessee. But that was before the G-Roy. That was before the... After the G-Roy. What was it?
Starting point is 00:47:07 I don't know. G-Roy, Motel about it. But anyway, yeah, Mountain Man, Marty, Good Day, a Cajun from around here, the nickname me, Mountain Man. After I moved here. And it kind of stuck. That one has really stuck. That one stuck.
Starting point is 00:47:25 I think you with that one the rest of you. That's, yeah, yeah. A mountain man, but I used to be mountain boy. Mountain boy, now we know that he was modal, he was mo. Groy. Groy. And his first name is, but a mystery. It's a, yeah, Mama name me Timothy after Timothy in the Bible.
Starting point is 00:47:48 She will make that boy do right. There you go. Mama tried, didn't she? Mama tried, mama tried. She did. She, hey, Mama was a very good Christian woman. Sure was. Dad, too.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Love it. Bless her heart. Love it. Well, Mountain Man, we appreciate you coming on. This is the end of the show where we throw it up with a Bible verse. I got one. You got one? I got a Mountain Man Center Bible.
Starting point is 00:48:15 I'm glad y'all followed my lead after all these years having a Bible verse at the end of the show. You know, I did that. start with. I would love to say that we got that from you, but... You can't on there, no. I might as to sue y'all. Get some money or something. Nothing like suing people over using the word of the word.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Yeah, nothing like... I'm just cutting up. No, I suggest everybody try to do something like this. But Johnny Deeson decided... This one came to me when Mountain Man was talking about trade school, worked hard for 40 years and then you never know what's going to happen and I believe that's because
Starting point is 00:48:56 Mount Man you followed this verse in First Thessalonians 4, 11 and 12 make it your as Phil Robertson would say ambition to lead a quiet life minding your own business and working with your hands just as we told you so that your daily life
Starting point is 00:49:12 may win the respect of outsiders and that you will not be dependent on anybody and if you do that you never know what buying. a squirrel will make your life look like. That's what I'm talking about. Kabooya!
Starting point is 00:49:27 Oh, Mountain Man, before we get out of here, though, what's your website? That way people can check you out. We'll let you throw that out there one more. Yeah, yeah. Y'all go to old Mountain Man'sworld.com. I know it's not my world, but, hey, mountainmansworld.com or cabooia. There you go. And check him out on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:49:48 He's very active on there. you can see him and Bert, but Mountain Man, we appreciate you. Bert jumped over a fire and caught a frisbee the other day on Facebook. Oh, yeah, we go out on a limb doing our videos. Still can't make no money off. How are we supposed to make money off of them? I can't make a dollar. But look, Bert's jumping over fires.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I'm standing out in front of trains. Still can't make money on that video. And that's a story for another time. That's a story for another day. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out. Later.
