You know what needs to get killed? Huh? Whoa, a black lab. That, okay. Whoa, look at that black lab walking down that bridge. Yeah, look at that black lab, yeah. Sa! Say!

Hey, I know what that is, son. Thank you. Oh, stop. That's like old. Seth from Chattanooga sent me a picture. He's a big of yellow eyes are shining. Well, from his spy point, just south at Chattanooga. Hey, look, the first.

time I looked, you know what I've seen? That tail was going down behind him. I ain't no dog. That's the first thing I looked at was that tail going behind him. I just feel like we hadn't had a good Black Panther siding in the duck call room in a long time. That's a freaking dog, man. Are you kidding me?

I'm fine if you want to show me a picture of a cat. But when I look at that, my first reaction is a dog. He has the gate of a Black Lab. That's a Black Panther. Okay. If that's what you want to go. When I look at that, I see canine. I don't see.

Yeah, it's got that. I don't see cat. How do you not see cat there? Because a cat generally has like a little swoop in his back. That looks like a dog. That looks like a dog out just for a walk. I mean, I'm not trying to be a naysayer on that one. Like, you show me a picture of a cat.

I'll tell you it's a cat. But that, to me, when I see that, I see black Labrador. Seth. The body ain't right. Yeah, he just, he looks like. The body ain't right on it for a dog, though. Well, okay. No, I'm serious.

I want to see the image. He's too slender. See the image. No, I want to see it in like, like, take the black and white. Like, if we could zoom in on it. He's slender. I'm telling you. Cat.

Hunter. Roof. What do you see? Look at the leg. Look at the leg. Look at the leg. Is that all you got, Johnny Dean? That looks like a dog to me.

Oh, hold on. That's who you're getting on your side of Hunter? I'm just saying. Get somebody with no... Hunter has no bias to whatever this is. Yeah, but Hunter can't even... Hunter doesn't believe a... Hunter doesn't have a dog in the hunt.

Hunter uploaded the same podcast twice last week and had me answering four billion emails about what went wrong. So Hunter's opinion no longer matter. Wait, Hunter, you did what? Hunter, explain to the people what happened. We must address it. I made a mistake.

That's okay. That's fine. You're human. What happened? I accidentally, last week, I've instantly uploaded Tuesdays episode of Thursdays. And thankfully, and Tuesdays, the kind people have reached out to me nonstop

to let me know that I did that. I mean, I don't even know how my phone did that, but at 7 o'clock last Thursday, the people were like, we've already seen this. And they needed to let me know that something had gone awry. The podcast. The same one ran again. We'll be a kick his podcast, all, boys.

I did it on audio only. The video I did correctly. I just, I got confused to mess the whole thing up. Oh, it's all right. So that's what happened. For the people who listened to the same episode twice, it was Hunter's fault, but we love him still. Hey, and he admitted it.

Yeah, I fixed it at 8 a.m. though. Honor, you're not really, uh, that's not a really good thing when they were, I bet they're rescinding their thoughts for giving you a raise from that one episode. Oh, yeah. They're like, nah. Go read the comments. They did mention that. The Instagram messages also mentioned that too.

Will they rough on you? No, I started to give Hunter a raise thread in the comments. And now Hunter uploaded the wrong episode. I literally had the guys back. I was like, Hunter needs a raise. Can all the fans send in that Hunter needs a raise? And then instead of showing why he needed a raise, he made a mistake. And that's okay.

He proved his true value. I still want Hunter to have a raise. I don't think I need a raise. Please, Sam. Hunter still needs a raise, even though he made a mistake in the comment. It happens, Hunter. Like and subscribe. But I made a mistake. Hey, key thing right here, you owned it.

Key thing. That's right. He thing that's missing in today's world, you own it. You did not shift the blame to the equipment or the, no. Hey, he said I screwed up. Thank you for accountability. It doesn't exist anymore. It was 100% me.

I fixed it at 8 a.m. I told my bosses, I was like, I made a mistake. I fixed it. Perfect. Let me know what else I can do. Perfect. That's all you got to do. And then we're moving on.

And to the people who listen on Thursday nights, you lucky suckers get to listen on Friday night now. Whoa. Because we gave you the opportunity to listen to that episode twice. Ladies gentlemen, and Beth's back. Hey. That's back.

She's back from the great state of Canadian. Hey? Beth left. Beth left. Beth went to Canada and got a sunburn. I don't know how that happens, but. Oh. Never going.

Well, they're closer to the sun, huh? Canada, I know they got water, but do they have beaches? They're different kinds of beaches. Imagine like Galveston, but like nicer. I said nicer. Niser. I can assure you this. Their water's way cleaner than Galveston.

Hey, I got to tell a story real quick. I know a guy. He was in the store and he had this weird thing on his foot. From Galveston? Yeah. I said, what happened? He goes, I got stung by a stingray. Okay.

My man almost lost his foot. Really? Yeah, so be careful when you're in the beach. Dang. Them stingrays are serious. They call them stingrays for a reason. That's what happens in that dirty water. It was sting.

I said, what beach you go to? He said, Galveston. I said, yeah. That's that dirty water. Who was that that died from a stingray? Steve Irwin. Yep. The crocodile hunter got...

Crocodile. If the crocodile hunter... His mistake was, okay, it spared him in the heart. He pulled it out. Is that really true? No, no, I'm serious. That's what happened. He should have left it.

He should have left it. Yeah. I'm going to be honest with you, though. If you're saying the mistake was pulling it out, I'm saying the mistake was being in the water with stingray. Well, he's not. No offense. Great man.

Loved him on TV. He's got great kids. They do great things. I just, I'm going to swimmer in stings. He forgot rule number one. What's that? He was fooling with something that wild, well, lived in the wild. Well, that's kind of okay.

His whole MO. Most of the time, if you've fooled enough with stuff in the while, you get bit back. You're going to get popped. You get popped. That's like snake, snake people. That is a crazy thing. I wrestled all them crocodiles like deadless. And a stingray.

I thought the alligator would get it. him and then just swimming around. He was awesome TV too. Oh, he was. He was such good TV. Like, wholesome TV. Your kids could have watched it. Imagine what he'd be, well.

I'm trying to remember how many hours I spent as a kid. He learned a bunch of stuff. Yeah. Oh, I big animal nerd here anyway. He actually would be 64 now. That was, he died 20 years ago. That's crazy. Wow.

That math works. Yeah. Unbelievable. Well, anyway, remember the cameraman that was on Duck Dynasty a while back and had the fingers missing? Oh, that's Mike, yeah. Didn't he get bit by a snake in that what happened? Oh, no, he was a snake wrangler. Oh, yeah.

The Jay says, no, I don't need you. And the guy said, what for? He said, hey, he said, you're missing a finger because you got bit by a snake. And you're a snake wrangler? Oh, thank you. Yeah. Oh, you're out. You're out.

You're out. You're out. That's like Jim Shockey. Shockey has been all over the world. Okay. I mean, just, you know, unreal, you know. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he goes places that he goes and hunts in them stands.

No, no. I don't mess with them stands, man. Yo, they're hunting a little, uh, a swamp deer. A little, tiny thing. You know, I mean, little old bitty thing, like the German road deer. Yeah, weighs 20 pounds, lives in the swamp. Well, that, you know, they showed them they're weighing their water all up on their thighs. Oh, and it's hot.

There's going to be some snakes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so there's, you know, yeah, yeah. But it is, he hunts everything, you know. I said, I got a question, not, yeah, this is totally shifting gears. Shift it. Shifting. Yesterday, while we were filming, Willie was ragging on you pretty hard about.

How about the beaver? About beavers and beating you. Did he come to your house and take your money? Oh, no, no. I got some of it. This is so weird. You asked me, my, I went brain did. It was Jason's birthday, so it was at Jason's house.

Oh, okay. That's where we played. And Stone cooked hamburgers for us. There you go. And they were expensive. And oh, no, no, no. It wasn't just Willie. You know, Philip bought the beaver for me as a president.

You know, because I used to have a big brass one. Okay. And I lost it somewhere. But anyway, he bought it for him. And somebody at the house dropped it and broke the real pretty rock stand it was on. Okay. But I opened it up, looked at it, and I said, This makes sense.

Who broke my brewer? So when I come there, I had to file it down and get it all where it wouldn't scratch the card. But I got it fixed and took it to the poker game but set it out. Oh, so he's like your card marker? Oh, yeah. Oh, hey, look. And it's on top of his bad parts. No, no.

Everybody at the table jumped on me and the beach. Beaver. Because every time I would bet, said, okay, the beaver's in. Oh, so, you know, they got on me and the beaver. But hey, Willie will return and get that thousand I lost to Willie Parrard. Willie said you lost more than a thousand. Well, no, he just owes Willie a thousand. Yeah, but I thought I borrowed a thousand.

Oh, so you lost everything you had and had to borrow another thousand? I just sent you a text. Yeah. Yeah. That's normal. But, look, Willie has owed Psy. Willie has owed Sai also in the past. Yeah, but the difference is yesterday when

Si came walking up, Willie said, Willie said, hey, you got my money? Yeah, he said, hey, there it is. Yeah, and I look. That's his card marker. Hey, somebody busted that at the house. See how pretty that is? It sounds like you busted it. Or the daughter of the maid.

All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. and y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Tritels Beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good?

It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from.

But with 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'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 Triedails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She and 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. How much money did you lose, though? I didn't know your business. Speaking of losing stuff. But hey.

Because I saw, but hey, it don't know. Because I'm on a, winning streak. No, I'm on a downhill spiral right now. Yeah, right now, if Sae was a stock market, you'd want to buy.

Yeah. Wow. Hold on. Oh, hey. Buy the deal. It can't go no lower. No, no. The last three times I've played,

it's just, it's been at the worst, bad beats. I'd have a boat. He'd have a bigger boat. I got a flush. He's got a bigger flight. Yeah.

I got two pairs. He's got three of a kind. Just all. The last three times I played, I bet it, they call, they have the best hand. But what happens in Oklahoma? You always won a tournament and a cash game the last time we went to Oklahoma. Every time I've ever played in Oklahoma, always a cash. Sounds like you should always go there to play.

So I'm like 100% good in Oklahoma. What are you in? Can you explain that, Martin? No, no, well, hey, I know what my problem is with this bunch of them play with. Oh, yeah. It's Willie and Jay's. Oh, no, with all of them. They won't fold. They won't folk.

Yeah. Because I'll give you a story. His brother came. We invited him talking about Danny. He'll play poker with him. He's okay. So he comes there, okay, and he comes. And Danny, for y'all, so nobody knows Danny.

He's a country club hustler. Danny won him that walks up on the golf course. You think, this boy ain't no good at golf. And he goes there and shoot 71 and take all your money. Then he takes off. Every bit up. Yeah. He shows up.

Am I right? You are right. No, no. He shows up, okay. He clipped these clowns that we play with for $4,500. Okay. And as we're walking out of the guy's house, we play that. You know, I said, Danny, we're going to play Friday again.

He said, don't ever call me. Uh-huh. And look, that was, what, 10 years ago? That's how you know a real hustler. He saw it, and he said, no, no, no. Never again. I spent 10 years ago, and like he ain't bad back, right? Nope.

Because he said, I said, well, Danny, wait a minute, you clipped them for $4,500. Man, come back and can't get some four from him. He said, oh, no, no, no, no. Yeah. He said, I've never played 10 people that they don't even know how to pronounce the word, F-O-L-T. He said, because they, he said, I just, I couldn't believe it. You know, I got quards.

You know, and I bet all in. and they say it's call, call, call, call, call, call, call, call. So who's the best player between Jace, Willie, and Jep? Because they were all there playing with you for Jason's birthday. In my humble opinion, that Jeff was playing. Wow. Jay's like Muhammad Ali, I'm the greatest. Okay, but the one that really, yo, is the best.

Willie is? That would be fat boy. Me? Oh, no. He admitted it. Willie. Okay. Yeah, he is good.

Well, but now, part of the problem is Willie just gets in your head and makes you angry. Well, no, because here's,

that's why I lost those times. Then talks about your beaver and the next thing you know, here's why I lost the other night. Oh, hey. He did get up and do some dances. Didn't he say?

Willie. Here's the reason I lost those days. Willie normally comes in, sits down at the table, and for the first two and a half to three hours, it's, hey,

he's bluffing every hand. And showing. And show it. Well, hey, so I'm playing the Willie that I know. Well, Willie doesn't change his game a little bit on me.

Okay, so he come in and he wasn't bluffing. Okay. Willie, you know, it's scarier than the one you know. Well, the problem is, again, you can't bluff y'all because none of y'all fold. Hey. None of y'all fold.

That's right. Don't point at them and say they don't. Because you're just as guilty. So, Willie called me the next. You started this. friend, buddy. That's true.

This is all on you. The funniest thing was, you're the reason I retired. Sye had his poker shirt on and Willie walked in with his poker shirt that's got an ace up his sleeve. Did you have your poker socks on? Oh, yeah. And the fever.

Byrne them. You may want to go back to Bigfoot. I got to get a new prayer. You may want to start wearing Bigfoot. Get off of them. No, Willie called me the next day because he needed some life jackets. And, you know, I don't deliver for many people, but Willie's one of them. And so I was like, yeah, man, you got some cash.

I said, I'll just bring them by. I'll ring it up. And I gave him, you know, the family discount. And then I go hand him all the stuff. He opens his wallet. And I'm like, good gracious. And he goes, oh, yeah, I played poker with Sy last night. And then he said the amount of money that was on the table.

And I was like, Willie, I feel like I'm doing all right in life. But y'all make me so nervous, I can't take it. That was happening right down the street from me. It would have been an armed robbery. No, I wasn't in your neighborhood. And then I gave him the family discount on them freaking life jackets. I should have charged them double. I used to worry about that until everybody comes in and sits down the table

and puts their glock on the table. That's true. Stone's there. We're not getting robbed. Oh, yeah, Stone's there. Yeah. Is Stone play? No, but he cooked the hamburgers in.

He got pain. Oh, yeah. Stone just shows up, cooks, get paid. paid as a drink of whiskey and goes home. Stone's the smartest person I might know. If Stone was in the Wild West, he'd be like the saloon owner. I'll tell you what broke the game up is when Anna brought in that bun cake.

We all just quit and started eating her cake. What kind? And the food was good. What did she bring over chocolate? Was I lemon? Was it lemon? I can't remember. I didn't even meet a piece, I don't think.

It's probably gone by the time you got up there. He was too sad about all the money he lost to eat. A fair's one thing I know about side, he don't get sad about losing money. No. No, he can. He just reloads. Look, I can't take it with it. Yeah.

Might as well. That's why. That's why my kids, one of them just started, he's got into, he's, he's, he's, equestrian. What? Horses? He does horses now. Scott?

Yeah. What do you mean does horses? Well, he. tell me it's like the prissy ones from the Olympics. Yeah, not something that happens into Yowana. Hey, he come in to visit you know, me and Christine. Yeah. Y'all, they got to talk about it.

Wait, do you own a horse now? No. Oh, my son that my son is in the business of it. Okay. But anyway, they was telling me what they wanted to do. Mm-hmm. You know and I said, well, what kind of money are we talking about here? Horses, like, boat money. Yeah.

You got horse money, you got boat. These are, hey, these are the wild mustangs. breaking them he he gets them and then jennels them down and breaks them and makes them bridable nope that's that thing so that's what he's doing now which i got to write him another check but i said i would do well that sounds like you writing your it sounds like you own a horse well no no well i'll have them at my inadvertently i have them at my disposal yeah you have wild mustangs at your disposal i like it yeah man i can hear garth brooks now Well, no, no, because I've always loved horses, okay, because when I was a child,

in Dixie, Louisiana, when mom and dad bought that house. Miss Kay had a pound. You was a horse thief. Oh, yeah. Well, hey, I even got charged with horse theft. I know. What? And the kid that come and told me, he said, hey, Mr. McKinney, he's going to hang you for horse

theft. Yeah. The best accent. Because, hey, his son, his son. his son owned the horse and his son had told me hey any time you want to ride just go ahead come over saddle him up and ride but he didn't tell his daddy well evidently not and then they were going to anyway i felt like riding so hey i i've sounded up road and me and the kids okay over the neighborhood was down on a par fishing when another kid walked up and he said oh sigh i said what

he said uh they they they don't call the law they don't call the chef and the chef's going to hang you for hostage house stuff it's straight out of like a 1990 like straight out of a 1994 matthew mccannock like a tom saw your story here's what all the former before they had air conditioner in the courthouse i mean i love it you know ever ever since uh time began okay Farmers would get together and have a roundup, you know, after winter. See what their cattle had done. How many of the babies had been born and all this, you know? So when they would do that, they would all show up at the cotton gin.

And like, it would be 60 horses tied at the cotton gym. Well, guess who? Truly. Okay. I'd get on the first one, and they got them tied side by side. And I'd go from one to the other and sit on them. Yeah, okay. So now you're in the horse business.

So now I'm, yeah. Okay. There's 82,000 wild horses in America. Yeah. Well, Scott. The West is still big. I just, I feel like if I was in a parking lot somewhere and like a pigeon flew up to me, I'd be like, that's normal or a feral cat.

But if a horse just walked up, I'd be like, where's the owner of them? That's somebody's horse. Hey, there's Morgan. horses. Okay. And they took a stallion and bred the stallion to wild Mustang mirrors. Okay. And that animal is still out there running wild.

Okay. So it's a pretty, you know, when he told me, Marsha, of course, cried and because I told him, I said, well, hey, y'all are going to get my money anyway. That's a good point. I said, so what kind of money are we talking about? You want it now or later? And I said, hey, a living will. I said, if you are really serious about this is what you would like to do.

Yeah. That's funny. I said, I'll help you get started. And I got to come up with an idea. Well, you know, you. That's what my dad said. I got a plan for you. We're gone.

Well, hey, if it's a good plan, I may do it. Hey, you never know. Whenever I decided to buy something stupid at the honey house. But that fits your son. I mean, that actually fits him. Well, no, no, because he's a vet, okay? He's got the whatever it is, PSD, whatever it is. PTSD.

Yeah. So he's got that that he's dealing with. And I actually seen him have an episode when he lived beside me. And I had to physically, me and his wife picked him up and carried him in the house. Yeah. Because he literally, mentally shut off. Yeah. No, that fits.

He's a lot like you and the way he can. cares for people. Well, well, no, but I said, you know, I said, okay, look, you're going to get the money anyway. What are we talking about? And I'll let you get started. No, I think that's a good deal for Scott. No one, Scott. I think that's a, that's a good deal. And you have horses. People don't have the opportunity to do what they like to do. Yeah, absolutely. And you're giving him that, you're helping give him that opportunity. I've got the money, okay. And, you know, I'm not going to ever spend it. Yeah. I love it, man. I, I tend out of 10 support on that deal.

That's cool, man. I just need you on a wild horse. Well, no, no, but hey, I didn't say a wild one. No, I just want to. I want the horse to have a little spirit. I want to see sigh like in the opening of a Western. Yeah, right now. Now, just walks up to a horse pen, you know, and they're there breaking.

Oh, no, no, no. Oh, you're talking about as a child, you got to understand, okay. You know, kids are crazy. Uncle size stallions. Well, no, no, no. I'd buy one. Look, Jimmy Frank and Harold are in the... Time share.

Hey, look, Jimmy Frank and Harold, my older brothers, they both work on a horse farm while they're going to LSU. Yeah, there you go. So guess what? Summertime rolls around. I'm about 14. So they come home and Jimmy Frank says, you know, I got a good idea, you know, for, you know,

My younger brother to come spend some time down there on a horse ranch with me. Well, hey, they got a stallion. Red Roan, beautiful horse. About 17, 18 hands. Ooh. So guess what?

I've been on the road like five hours and get there. So when we hit the farm and the stallion's in the corral, well, the first thing I do is, hey, I run, get on the fence. He comes up. I've got an apple.

I'm cutting apple off and feeding this stagio, okay? And we've got pretty friends, so I slid on and sitting on him. Bearback. Bear back. No problem, no, nothing or nothing. Uh-oh. Well, the owner of the reins goes ballistic. He's scared to death.

What the duck? Bup, blah, pop, blah, pop. And I said, hey, what's your problem? I said, me and him are getting along fine. Oh, get off of him. make it out of there. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

He worried about you. Yeah. And the horse. Oh, and hey, look, it wasn't a problem. Yeah. All right. I get off of them. Well, you only weighed about 105 pounds soaking wet.

Oh, yeah. It wouldn't go hurting. A holocaust victim. I don't know if we can make that joke. Well, it ain't. Just to say I was skinned. Let's just say. Skin and bones.

If I ever on the horse, it would be one of them small ones that are like a big Shelling ponies? Hey, the only thing about that is they got a bad temper. Yeah, they're mean. They're mean. You ain't kidding. We've got one at the owl. You've got a...

They got a... It's something about being that little. We got a horse program. It's something about being that little. They got an attitude problem. They really do. I know a few humans like that, but I didn't know there was... Well, no, no.

Yeah. I think it's transferable across the spectrum of all wild... Like Jason's... dogs. Yeah. Or in my case. Well, no, no, because, hey. Whalen.

That is a, that is a true statement because, hey, jollas, they're so small. They're always bad to the bone. Yeah. Because I dated a girl who had one, and that dog ate me up. So she was going to make me be friendly with him. And I said, that dog's going to bite me. She's giving me your hand.

He ain't nobody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I should have never trusted her. Did you leave her after that? Oh, yeah. I dropped her like a hot potato.

Can you imagine getting dumped for how bad your dog is? Oh, wow. You're not saying, hey. I just think about all of Silas' ex-girlfriend. Oh, no. If you're out there listening for some reason, please email hello at duckcallroom.com. I'd love to have you on and ask a lot of questions.

Like if side misses an episode, we're probably aren't going to put you in the same room. I just wondered if they sit back and look, that could have been me. Yeah, look what I could have had. Yeah, look at that. He dumped me. To be fair, they had to go through it for about 40 years before they got there. Yeah, they'd have really had to, they'd have really put that faith to the test, you know.

Wow, what a life. But now they'd own horses, you know. They'd own pieces of horses up and out of. Well, they wouldn't own horses, but they would have them available for use. Not just horses. You'd own wild. side of time shared wild mustangs. Right.

That's awesome. It is actually really cool. Hey, that's the legacy of the West, though. Of course. Oh, I think it's perfect. I do. I really do. I think it's perfect for Scott.

I think that's great. Legacy. Well, hey, West. He works with animals. He works probably by himself a lot. Well, look, horses are just like all our vets have got, they got the dogs. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Horses is the same way. See, that's what we use horses for. No, no. I'm here. We've probably got 20 horses out there. You got 20 horse? One little Shetland pony.

Who hates everybody. Have you ever ridden the Shetland pony? Because you're kind of like the same stature. It's a Shetland pony. Look, now he's all mad at you. It's because he's not very tall. Don't bite me. Well, this is starting to get deep because the dog's okay.

The reason vets need them. Oh. okay a dog gives unconditional love oh I know that oh yeah and that's the same thing about with the horse's same deal right okay

they love you okay they're here to serve you okay and I mean it's just it's a wild thing yeah yeah that's right I'm off of animals I'm just gonna be honest I had that one that was a good time

well I don't know because they get in your heart so you won't ever get another dog and then when you lose them I'm good Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we're staring out a barrel like ours will be 11 in a week or so. Yeah.

Staring down a barrel of either new dog or time without a dog. You know, I mean, she's fine. She looks fine. But when a lab gets over 10, like, I've known enough, I've owned enough labs in my life, duck hunting. When they hit 10 years old, it's, you're on borrowed time then. Like, it's, you can generally get about 10 out of them. Well, they, like, we were up with,

me right now. Yeah. I'm on my bonus years with God. Yeah. Okay. Everything else is, that's freebie from him. Yeah. Okay. He's, you're making the most out of them. No, no. He's today. I don't want another dog to your bonus here. Well, no, no. Well, I don't want another side. Hey, you can't help. Be fair. You can't find him. They can't help yourself. They get in your heart. Yeah. They really, they become your children. And then you run into one like the one that I got now is probably the best, no, she is the best I've ever owned. And, you know, they always say, like, in a hunter's world, you get one good dog.

Oh, no, yeah. So why get another one? So if I'm staring down my one good one, I'm like, oh, man, like, this is, that's just the toughie. Like, and she is good. She's been great with boys and all the things. So, like, but I'm sure we'll get another one, but it'll be their dog. They're going to be old enough where it's their dog.

I can remember when me and my brother, when we were young, we got two dogs, Credis and Freddie. And Creditis and Freddie. Yeah, hold on. Thank you, Mark. I was five years old. I don't know.

You named it? I don't know who named it. Credice. Clearwater revival? I don't know what it means. Credits. And Freddy. And Freddie?

Freddy Federer, baby. Something happened to the dog, and they were gone. And so I said, hey, where's Creditis and Freddie? My dad was like, I had to take them to the animal hospital. You know, they're going to have to get

some care. And I was like, okay, so when we went to church Sunday, I told Sister Sarah to pray for Cretus and Freddie. Then my brother walked up to her after the prayer and said, I'm sorry, Sister Sarah. We had to lie to Philip. Those dogs are dead. Oh, brutal.

But thank you for your prayers. Yeah, but thanks for the prayer. I have my first favorite story from Allison having a job. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Yeah. Y'all know when cats climb up in the bottom of a car? Uh-huh.

And then they go on a ride down the interstate. Yeah, as long as they're not by the fan belt. Yeah, well, one did that all the way to the car line at the school where Allison works. Oh, so did a cat get loose in the building? Oh, no. That's hilarious. The cat got loose in carline. Carline.

But not for very long. Boom, boom. Ooh. So then a teacher, our kids are all like, uh-oh, we've got a cat's eyeball falling out in the car line. It's a bad deal. Oh, Lord. the teacher goes to get the bat, you know, to put the cat out of its misery. Oh, no.

But luckily, hold on, hold on. Luckily, they just needed a trash bag because the cats had already gone to be with the Lord. But, yeah, that was the first story I got from. So how was second grade? Let me tell you about the cat line. Yeah. If I was a kid with that school and heard that story, I said, hey, boy, what grade you're in? You're in the second?

Boy, you better keep your mouth shut when you're going to start. They were going to finish it with a bat. It's not like they got. What do you think they got? A flamethrower? Yeah, they didn't have a dead cat plan. Like, what do we do? Grab a stick.

I've seen the handbook. It's massive. There is a plan for everything at that school. That's up for a dead animal protocol. Except for cat jumps out of engine block into car line, get squished by other people. car. What are we going to do? Grab a bat. And then everybody was like, oh goodness, what do we do with the, is that somebody's pet? And she was like, I don't even know where that cat came from.

What grade are you in, boy? You're going to, what, who's, you want to who? You want to miss baseball? Note to self, don't get injured at OCS. They'll take a bat to you and finish you off. They got to put you out your misery. See, that's the thing. Like if that happened at Westmanoe High school somebody just went and got shotgun out of their truck. Not no more. No, not anymore. I need more. They're serious.

Back in the days, it would. Yeah. What I was going to school. Hey, grab your gun and get this thing over. Yeah. I know you went duck hunting this morning. Go grab your shotgun. Yep.

Back in the day that would have worked, now you just got to either go or get a dumbbell from the, you know, wait room, drop it. So we went from get a bat to get a shovel. Yeah. So the cat's no longer with us, but pray for those kids that saw that, I guess. Good Lord. That is terrible. Ain't nothing happened at OCS like S as Phil showed up there with a dead wood duck.

No, two years ago there was an alligator on the playground. What is going on out there? OCS under siege, man. By the animal planet, son. Ain't no bad people out there, just animals. Oh, that's not a woodwork. My goodness. Yeah, Carter came home and he was like, Dad, there was an alligator on the playground.

I said, I beg your pardon? Pardon? And I didn't believe them. But sure enough, there was. What a life, man. That reminded me with the fifth grade teacher. Was Allison working, Caroline? Oh, yeah.

Oh, so she saw it. I don't, I, well, you know. I love Allison, but she ain't the one, you know, if something's gone awry and there's an eyeball laying out, don't call her. She'll be no help. This is horrible. I can't even remember her name, but she was my fifth grade teacher. Uh-huh. And she, you know, people were always trying to punch her butt, push her butt, push her

button. Punch her button sounds really. No, no. Push her button. So they brought in a garden snake. Uh-huh. One of multicolers. Yeah.

Yeah. And put him in her drawer and shut it. I think she didn't say in her drawer. Because, no, no, because the first thing she'd always do when she sat down is she had the roll book in the drawer. Oh, yeah. Open that middle desk. Oh, hey.

Open the middle desk. Well, they took attendance on that little green book. Yeah. Oh, and as soon as she opened up, she said, Oh my goodness Somebody brought me a present She gets it out You know who starts walking around

Everybody's scared snakes Here we go Yeah I'm done out of the classroom Yeah size Size tree Size tree like at cap So me and Rich Nadler did that

In about the seventh grade We wrapped up in a gift box To our teacher A little garden snake And so when she started up And she was like Somebody brought me a gift when she started opening it, I started laughing because you're not, you know, this is where I shouldn't be laughing.

Yep. And then I'm crawling out the door because I know I'm going to the principal's office while she's still opening it, and I'm just he-hawn. And she opens up that gift and then says that little snake, she starts screaming and running around and people are coming in. I just went straight to the principal's office. Yeah, let me save you there. Let me save you a stay. Yeah, it was me. I got to find a kid in Allison's class to do that to her.

That'd be awesome. even with a rubber snake that'd be hilarious you think oh yeah we got a film but though if we

I mean I'll catch the snake if you can get the gift there hey he's I'm just saying I'm just saying

I will find the critter if you can get the gift delivered like I can get you the goods it's just whalen and Jackson like them they're fun

they don't mind them they're out on things with wings right now for some reason like you don't want to mess was something that can fly. Why not?

Because it, like, aerial attack. Why do you think we won World War II? Plains. Oh, then I need to bring your boys over my house when the Martins are. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they probably be out on that. They're attacking.

Yeah, they're probably out. You walk on the porch and it's, yeah. So I caught a dragon fly the other day and that was not that, that, uh, they freaked out. Yeah, wasn't, him sitting there flapping them little clear wings. That didn't do it for them. I don't like that either.

But he landed on me, so I just, you know, kind of cradled him in my hand, took him inside. I thought, you know, it was a sign. So just trying to get him used to all God's creatures. Of course, then yesterday, while we were filming, a dead gum purple tail was lit on my sunglasses. Scared me to death. He was fixing to go under him. Like, I took my glasses off, threw him on the ground. I saw you.

I didn't know what was going on. Yeah, a dead gum purple tail lit right there on my sunglasses. And he was going down. Yeah. He was climbing down my glasses. And I was like, oh, I'm about to get dough popped on the face. Now I know the rest of the story. Yeah.

I got stung by a B right under my eye when I was like in the fourth grade. That's not fun. No, I knew I was like, oh, it's going to hurt here. All the thing I could think of was get these glasses off my face. So thank you. They're sitting a paid ad. Thank you, Costa, for protecting my eyes. Because if they hadn't been there, I would have probably just gotten stung right up into the eye.

Visit the Honeyhole tackle. Yeah, Coast of Del Mar. There you go. Get you some fan tell pros. When my friends would come over, we would get sticks and go to the barn. It's what, bumble beats. I popped one and knocked him on the ground. Well, guess what?

He was like Rocky. He jumped up. He lit right there. Oh, no. Jimmy's about to take one on this. Jimmy's about to catch one. for a week okay i was jimmy derail there it is when i saw him go to the nose i knew it

jimmy about to catch his stray son that poor old man i'm serious i had to walk like this i i'm walking this way because that's only where i could see hey my nose i'm telling you look of all the people born in the 1800s jimmy d'rante just gets shot at more in this podcast. That's just more straight.

Hey, that was a great, great man. Oh, man. You got any email or anything? Yeah, got a couple. Any emails, voicemails, Hunter, you got any, I mean, we ain't done no that. You ain't got to be ready now. I just ask you.

Try to hit something a little bit different. I do have one of my favorite from Hunter. Which, by the way, is hello at dot callroom. com is the email address. This is a perfect one for the bill to be here. This is one Philip. I don't even remember. Philip will like it.

Philip's going to love this one. Yep. Because I feel like we're changing the world with this podcast. Okay. And Hunter from Port Ritchie, Florida, is proving that because he drove his wife all the way to Spring Hill, Florida to take her somewhere. 25 miles away. 25 miles. A little place called Captain Deerey.

A great little seafood place. It's a great little seafood place. All right. That's perfect for the voicemail that I have. Right. Okay, so like legitimately this thing was like, I got to go see what Captain Deeds is all about, apparently, because we're always talking about it.

And he loved it because it's a great little seafood place. Oh, I figured somebody in Florida would really shun Captain Deez. Like being that close to the ocean, I just figured that was like a big, a major no-fly zone. I was really worried, but. Oh, they're hush puppies. They're good. That's the one thing that Brittany sends me there for.

Yeah, I've seen Martin there picking them up. That's what I thought. Got good ma'i. Postpartum Brittany, for whatever reason, loves and still does, but not like she was obsessed with their hush puppies there for a little while. Oh, who else makes great hush puppies? Scott's. Oh, the warehouse.

Oh, the warehouse. I eat all of them. Them little tiny ones. Oh, you know, down at the casino. Oh, no, you're talking about Benion's Steakhouse. So Hunter, what's your voicemail then? If it goes, I'm interested to know what voice mail ties into Captain D's. Hey, guys.

Joe. Hey, Joe. From. There's no. There's no. There's no. He works at Captain D's. That is the most regular Joe I've ever heard in my life.

Oh, that's Calcutta. Alabama. Joe from Missouri. No. Oh, that's Calculac. Alabama. Joe's from somewhere weird like Utah. Tell him Alabama.

Southern California. Oh, wow. We're going to Florida soon, and I went into Washington. know what you guys order at Captain D's and Waffle House. We're going to have a couple of those buyers. Smother covered. I'm going to hear you guys' feedback. And thanks.

I'm telling you, we're changing the world. Dear Captain D's, please contact staff. Slide up in MDM. We'd love to do an ad for you. This is how it goes. I take your order place. I need a deluxe seafood combo.

Let me get the... Oh, you're a regular ready. And I'm going to get... Wait, you eat the stuff. You eat the... the stuffed crab at Captain D. Bring the slaw. I'm against this.

Green beans. And cut the hush puppies, add breadsticks. Cut the hush puppies and bring me breadsticks. Really? Mike drop. That's a terrible order. Oh, that's got everything. It's like a $20 order.

That's got shrimp. It's got fish. It's got the crab. That little weird crab. Oh, yeah. I ain't eaten that crab. Is he? Oh.

Pass. Good. No, it's really good. I can speak way more to Waffle House than I can. I can speak to both and I can't wait to. that Waffle House, that hash brown bowl that they have now is like everything all in one convenient little. That's a good one. That's a good one.

If I was to walk into a Waffle House on vacation, because vacation John David eats way different than at home. Than normal Johnny D. At home, John David would be like, give me a small hash brown bowl with like two eggs. Oh, sick. Yeah. But vacation John David. Hask brown is good. Yeah.

If I was traveling all the way from Southern California to a Waffle House, like this is one shot, you're going to walk in. you're going to say give me an all-star breakfast, two eggs over medium, triple hash brown, scattered, smothered, and covered with a side of bacon. There you go. I like that. That's the one. That sounds good. And there might be some toast in that, but who cares?

And they make a good BLT. Really? Absolutely. Me and I have eaten that a lot. Okay. The Waffle House BLT? Yes. And with hashbrows.

Yeah, you could get hash brown. You got to have hashbrown. Trust me. Captain D's you just get the fish plate though. Yeah, that's right. But as long as you get fish. I'm going to give you my mom's order at Captain D's. Can I take your order?

Jan. The woman owns a tackle shop and we have 872 chicken stores in this town. And my mom will go to Captain D's and get a three-piece chicken strip. Wait, no, you can't do that. Janice, you can't do that. She does it every time. You can't eat chicken that's fried in fish grease. You can't.

Then your chicken tastes like fish. That's probably why she likes it. That's probably why she does it. You can't do that. Yeah, you can't. No, you can't. We do it every Sunday. What?

But anyway, let's get out of here. Hey, look, guys, I'm not going to be here. You do it. Yeah, I need you to do it. I'm not going to be here for the Duck Commander Sunday. But I did. I wrote something up to remember Phil, and I want to share this with you guys. I've talked to a lot of you, and I know that Phil has changed you guys lives just from watching him.

But I got something I'd like to read. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, this is how we end in it today for sure. Oh, you wrote, look at that. A handwritten letter. That's also pretty small. I hand wrote it, but then I typed it out. It's pretty small font.

Can you read it? Yeah, I can read it. Okay. You need some clicks? No, I don't. So today I want to take a moment to honor Phil Robertson for his life lived with bold faith and a heart dedicated to sharing the gospel of Christ. I talked about this a little bit yesterday.

Yeah. Through his words, his testimony, and his unwavering commitment to pointing people to Jesus, he has impacted not only the lives of countless people, millions of people, really, but also me and my own family, which makes it personal. His story is of transformation reminding us that no one is beyond God's reach of grace. His willingness to live unashamed has been a light and a dark world. and an encouragement to stand firm in our own walk with Christ. So today I want to say thank you, Phil.

Thank you for your obedience to Christ, for your courage and speaking the truth, for showing us what it means to live a life of faith, and the seeds that you've planted will continue to bear fruit for lots of generations to come. Thank you for being an example of Christ to me and my loved ones. There you go. Man.

That's pretty awesome. Didn't know we're going to get Marshall this morning, man. I'm going to, I'm going to, because you said it right there, right? You said thank you for living unashamed. To bring it on a little higher note, let me, I'm just going to play you. Jackson's new favorite thing is saying I'm unashamed. I'm a z. phenomenal
