All right, we're ready? All right, means I going. Welcome back to the Duck Call Room, ladies and gentlemen. We are so glad that everybody could join us. And I don't really know what we're going to talk about today, but that's nothing new. So I will tell you, I had an exciting weekend to travel this week. It sounds exciting. Where did you go?

How was it exciting? I was in West, well, eventually I ended up in West Unity, Ohio. West Unity, Ohio. What was in Ohio? Yeah. What was in Ohio? vent was that you was at? It was a men's group at a church in the middle of nowhere in Ohio.

Okay. Where they didn't realize that spring is here. Man, it was cold. Oh, they didn't. Spring had not sprung. Yeah, it was not sprung up there. They had sprung here either. Their water was hard.

There was this white stuff all over the ground as wild. Oh, that's bad. I don't know. Yeah, that's cold. They said they call it snow. I'm not real sure. But it just seemed weird for March, right? But no, the, yeah, American Airlines, they got me.

Oh, no. It was good twice this weekend. I walked to the gate and my plane was still there, but that famous line of, sorry, the doors closed. Yeah. That one. So I got to watch the plane that should be taking me. Oh, no.

Was it your fault? No, it was their fault. I mean, it was weather's fault. Oh, that's nobody's fault. That's always a good region. Yeah. Yeah. But it was, there was a big bad thunderstorm over DFW starting out,

first thing Saturday morning. and then it just never got better. So to keep my perfect attendance record at my events, though, I drove from Chicago to West Unity, Ohio. I rented a car and I took off. Really? Yeah. How long did it take you?

About four hours. So I was about two hours late for the event. But everybody stayed. Everybody was happy. Everybody was nice. But let me tell you, they didn't hang out long after it. They took their pictures and everybody's out of there. They's ready to go bed because, you know, that wonderful time change,

which I will say. This is the time I like. So whatever this looks like, this is the one I enjoy when you have time for daylight after you get off work. Yeah. This is the one I enjoy. Mr. Trump, if you're listening, promises made do the rest of it. Yeah, but doesn't he want to end daylight savings time? I think he's open to either one. He wants to keep it.

No, he said it was 50-50, so he wasn't going to mess with it. 50. That's what he said. Really? Yeah, it's 50-50. People like it getting dark at like 445 in the winter? No, I hate that. Well, it's because they live somewhere where it's like.

They ain't doing nothing anyway. Yeah. Well, I'm with you. I like to get off of work when I used to work. And there's still some daylight. Yeah, and there's still some daylight left for me to do something. Yeah, where you can piddle, right? He didn't do anything at work all day.

No, well, he was. He said when he used to work. Trust me, he was well rested. Hey, I said when I used to work. Yeah. I haven't seen those days, but he was always well rested when he left here. So he, I mean, the sky was a limit when he left up commander.

Well, the other argument. Hey, and here's the deal. Okay, they never had to say, oh, we can't do anything. We ain't got any reached. I don't disagree with that. They never said that. Nope. Never.

Did they ever say, sigh, wake up? Your naps over? Oh, yeah. Oh, we didn't wake up. They said, hey, you need to get up. No. No, they didn't do. Don't let that lie.

None of all ever wake him. He'll already have done told them. Don't mess with him. Do not mess with him. So me and sigh had something like that happened. we were actually doing a duck commander event and we got stuck in chicago yeah 15 hours 15 hours and look you're talking about somebody who could sleep in the airport size should write a book about it sleeping in the airport he could sleep on everything standing up leaning on stuff he could just

oh that's like a two-hour lay oh no it was four-hour i had a four-hour layover in dallas you got a six-hour nap no no i gave a four-hour concert for the people. I left the concert. I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. That's when you used to friend texted you, right?

I was the only one I could hear the music. I had phones, your phones on. But I gave him a four-hour concert, and they filmed it. That's big time. It went viral. You are viral, sir. But there's nothing worse than knowing that the plane's there. When you look at it.

And look. I've watched the plane a couple times. So Stone is in better shape than we are. And so he kind of ran to get on the plane. And hold it for us. And hold it for us. Hopefully. But he's on the plane.

And the lady says, sorry, guys. They just shut the glass door. Sorry. Yes, he grabbed me. I was going through and going toward the plane. And she said,

hey, where are you going? No, the door's closed. You can't go in. Where are you going? I said, Hey, the door ain't closed.

So I FaceTime Stone. Yeah. And he's showing me the door. And he said, no. And then we went to the lady and said, hey, why are you sitting here in lying to me, woman? Oh, the door's open. Let me go down and then get on a stupid plane.

I bet the way you called her woman and the plane stupid really helped your case. No. He was hot that day. There's nothing worse. Give me for our language boy. Well, yeah. I mean, that was my deal. I was irritated that day.

I should have been. I do feel bad for some airport employees because they got no control. Yeah, most of the time I give them a break and don't say nothing. Yeah, I just said her. The only thing, when they say, I said, no, I just said, are you sure? Yeah, yeah. And I was like, as you check, please.

As much as I want to show my butt here. Oh, yeah. What good is it going to do? And then, you know, I'm glad I didn't because, like, coming home when I got back to DFW, the lady working the Monroe flight was the one that wouldn't let me on the flight to. Oh, good. Were you nice? Yeah, I was polite.

Again, the only thing I did was said, I'm on this flight, and she's like, sorry, it's closed. I said, are you sure? That's the only thing I did. She was like, yeah. And I said, okay. I mean, I just, as much, the first one was like, man, whatever. When the second one was like that, I was ready to say, no, what you're going to do is open that door. One of us leaving here with a butt weapon.

I don't know which one of us it is. You're going to fight somebody over it? I just was so frustrated. Look, I got perfect attendance. on all my events. I've never missed one in 13 years of doing them things. I've never missed one. And I didn't want this one to be the one where I started.

And I didn't want to, selfishly I didn't want to drive four hours. Right. Like, I knew it was an option, and I didn't want to keep all them people away. It was everything in me to not call and say, look, bro, they got a flight going back to DFW. I'm going on. But I said, you know what?

What if Jesus would have done that to me? Like, what if he had said, You know what, bro, I tried long enough if you're out. You know, I got other stuff I need to do, and I ain't going to worry about you, Martin. So you drove to Ohio. I went and got me a dodged ram $2,500 that drank gas like you ain't seen lately, and I took off, buddy. Were you flying?

You went, you were supposed to go Monroe? I was supposed to go Monroe, DFW to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Oh, and since you missed that, you just went to Chicago. Because the other flight going to Fort Wayne didn't get to Fort Wayne until, like, after my event had started, which it turns out, wouldn't matter because I was going to be late anyway, right? But Chicago had a couple of more options for Fort Wayne. So I was like, well, let me get to Chicago and we'll figure it out from there. And now, all I figured out was I ended up at the Hertz deal.

And yeah, so that all happened. Then I got home last night, delayed again, got home, woke up this morning, picked Whaling up out of bed, and he decided to project all vomit all over me. So I've had a good 72 hours here. feeling facing. Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know what the good Lord's got trials like this for, but, you know, I know it's from him and because of him. So I'm guessing that I needed to learn a little more patience and forgiveness

or something I don't know. Yeah, patience. You know, whatever it is, I'm thankful for it because I'm here. I'm in one piece. Like, you know, all the things. I ain't going to, none of that crap is ever going to just get me irate like I see some people in the airport because like the end of the day. People get crazy.

At the end of the day, none of the day, none of the thing. None of us are in control in that airport. You're a captive audience and you're going to do whatever they say. Or you're going to get towed out of there. You know? And West Unity, Ohio, way closer drive than Munner, Louisiana from Chicago. So I was like, let's just go over and we'll do our best, do that and spoke to, I don't know, two, three hundred folks that night.

It was good. Gobwin had just been in that area because everything I signed had ham sandwich on it. Got a got one. So apparently, Gowler, had just done one not far from too far from there. I don't understand that whole part of the country. It's like it's so close, man. Like once you get there, like I was in Chicago and ended up in Ohio and was only three

and a half, four hours away. Like to me, in my mind being Louisiana Redneck, that just seems like it should be further than that. But everything up there is really close together. And if you pay the toll road, you can pretty well go. And I did pay the toll. $47 worth of tolls. $47.

Oh, yeah. Whoa. $47. To drive on the road? Mm-hmm. Why? I don't know, but I actually like it better because they've proven they can't figure out how to use our taxes to fix them.

So if I can pay for it, at least I see something, you know. Hold on. I got major. $47 to drive on the road? That's what the easy pass thing said when I got done with it. Oh, yeah. Oh, I guess you were in Chicago. Chicago to Ohio.

I pay $47 on the roads to get there. Well, we paid a lot in Houston going through those tolls. I've never noticed. Yeah. Yeah. I also don't have a license plate on my car, so I just kind of. Just keep on trucking. You're not going to pay, are you?

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.

It's our friend, Sao 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. 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. 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. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat eater, folks. Yeah. Just go to Tribalienable. beef.com slash that's trybeef.com slash

support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Yeah, I think of how much better mood everybody be in. It's like legal shooting hours during duck season was like 705. But see, people complain. Instead of 605. But it really is 50-50. Is it really? Because like two years ago, we talked about this on the podcast.

And I was myself, you know, I'm kind of loud and have opinions. And I was like, oh, This is the best thing ever. And we got so many emails and comments of like, you're an idiot. And I was like, I thought everybody was on my side here, but it's like 50-50. Yeah, I don't, I don't like it when it gets dark early. I don't know. People don't want to send their kids to school in the dark.

And I'm like, they're going inside. Yeah, what does that matter? Then you want them to come home in the afternoons and be a captive audience from 445 till the time they go to bed? I got headlights on my truck. All that is boiled down to is lazy. too lazy is it set the clock I'm serious

but now it automatically sets to everything you got with smartphones well no my watch well that's right that ain't a smart watch well on my wall don't okay I got a lot of it that don't set yeah time changes my truck does normally reset

it seemed like it was early oh speaking of your truck tell uh Martin and Johnny D what happened to you the other day we went up We went out from church, and I get in turning the radio on, and it's, this, he thought somebody was shooting at him. You was jamming, huh?

I was talking about, good, good, good, what in the world? And Phillips said, hey, what, I said, y'all, and then you heard, then you heard. I said, hey, somebody's locked in the stupid back row. Yeah, so I go to the back to open up the tailgate, waiting for somebody to get out. So we thought we had somebody's got to crawled in there and got locked in there. Who was it? No, it was stupid. It was stupid of speaker. Your speaker was beaten? No, it busted.

Oh. Because look, one day, one day, I went somewhere. Look, I come out. That's because you jam. Yeah, you know, and I hit the release button, you know, for the truck to unlock. When the step come out, I stepped up on it. And then when I stepped up on it, I haven't touched nothing else. And I hear.

and I mean it's like a 22 rifle all out here is pow you know well I get in turn to turn the ignition it starts and everything's all right but it's like all of a sudden just pow boom you know static well Johnny deacon I figured you know Philips said he says hey you figure blue well Johnny deacon help you out busted woofer no you go by Johnny D's you go by Honey Hill grab you a turtle box put it on the front seat you you can wrap that sucker loud as you want to, and it ain't going to go out. No, it's under warranty.

I don't know what now. It'll blow the windows on. You are the perfect candidate for a turtle box. You just need somebody to tote it for you. I mean, you ain't. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he don't need it. He can.

Villis don't want it to carry it. You can do whatever you want. You can jump on it, throw it. You can do whatever you want. It's waterproof. Float. Yeah, it's waterproof. Unless you get the little one.

They're pretty sweet. Yeah. Just saying. Speaking of loud noises, though. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. What'd you do? Carter got his gun.

Oh, you got the 4-10. We got the 4-10. Have you shot it yet? Carter's got a gun. I need to show you the video. I bet that's on Phillips play, Luke. Carter's got a gun. But he opened the box, he goes,

is this my first shotgun? I said, yes, sir. He goes, this is so sick. I saw that video. I got to ask you something, too. Wait, but what are you talking about? Oh, he's pumped. Sick is a good thing when you're 11.

Yeah, that's awesome. He goes, this is actually sick. Hold on, I got it. And in true you fashion, does it have a silver barrel? Yeah. I know. Well, I got the cheapest one, man. Oh, man, no, you had to have a little bling on it.

You had to have a little front of the neighborhood bling on it. I like it, man. It did have a special little, it was cooler looking than the other cheap one. Just the amber type, hammer type. Oh, yeah. Single shot. Okay. Yeah, you open it up.

Okay. Yeah. Here you go. I'm going to show side of video. Has he shot it? Hold on. My first shotgun? It is your first shotgun.

What is it real? You want to learn to go duck hunting. You need a good shotgun. Dude. That's actually sick. That's actually sick. The first ever shotgun I did? That's yours.

What the heck? Oh, yeah. So we got his first shotgun. So then. That's tied. But he also got a kayak. We're just, we're outdoorsman now. Yeah.

which is good. He needs to get outside some more. And so he was, we went to, for his birthday, he wanted to go to the lake and kayak. As soon as we get there, the bottom drops out.

Lightning and hail, it hailed on us. It was crazy. Really? When was that? Saturday. So then. That must have been all that stuff

I was flying through. Because that's the other thing. Once I did get in the air, buddy. Choppy. I mean, the whole time, I was like,

man, I'm done. So then we get a five-minute break. We kayak for five total minutes, get back in the house. And then the next day we got church. He's like, he wakes up. He's like, dad, today's the day I shoot a shotgun. I'm like, it could have been yesterday, but yeah, today we're doing it.

And he goes, and we need to shoot a watermelon because that's what Mark Rober would do. And I was like, you know what? You only turn 11 and get your first shotgun once. So we went to after church, bought a watermelon. So then I take him out there. And we put his earplugs in because he's got a lot of, you know, he's had a lot of your surgery. Yeah. And put them in there and I'm like, I'm going to shoot it first and we're up on the hill.

We just, I'm just going to shoot it in the pond and you'll see what happens and you'll really like it. And to be fair, I was not quite ready for the 410 to be that loud. Yeah, it was pretty short. So that's right up there on you. Yeah. And things get louder when you're shooting at targets. Yeah. Well, we were just shooting.

That's what I'm saying. Like when you don't have like a foe in mind. Yeah. Like if you're duck hunting, like you rarely hear them or unless. Carter's standing with me and I pull the trigger and he just, he said, dad, that sounded like Hiroshima. Hiroshima. Yeah. And I said, not quite.

He goes, because Carter doesn't like loud noises anyway. Like he's very sensitive. And so I'm like, okay, well, we're good. I said, what do you want to do? He goes, I think I need you to do that again. I was like, that's fine. I said, the one thing we don't want to be is uncomfortable. Yeah.

Like, you need to be comfortable before you do. do anything. Amen, buddy. And so watermelon's still in the car. So I do it again and he steps back and he's like, Dad, we need some next level hearing protection. And I said, that's fine. Oh, that's what you texted me. So I texted Martin. I said, hey, is there any Walker's Game ears up at? And I don't think there are anymore. And because we used to have a stash of him. And I was like, he went to Jason's house. He got a bunch of them. I'm sure he did. Well, and I was right there. Anyway, so then I went to Academy last night, bought him some earmuffs. He wore them for an hour last night.

I'm like, hey. Just because? Are you kidding? Breaking them in. Oh, you see them now? Is there some right there? Is that headphones? No, I see his headphones.

Okay. I don't think these do a whole lot. Yeah, no. Oh, there make your ear sweat. So tonight we have, we're going to do earplugs on top of Walker's game ears. Oh, yeah. That'll be good for. It's one of my own shooting.

And it's, he's like, tonight we shoot it. Oh, he's pumped, but he doesn't, he did not like loud noises. So I'm like, hey, we're all like a sharpie. Oh, like a sharpie duck on the watermelon. Oh, he already wants to... He's already, like, ready to print papers of ducks to destroy. Well, I mean, I figured he... Like, no, I ain't going to say what I figured it.

So you're going to video it for us? Oh, yeah. Hopefully tonight we go... The first time he goes duck hunting, you need to film it. Oh, we're going to film it. Oh, yeah. But he was... I was proud of him, though, because, you know, a lot of kids would just be like, I'm ready.

I'm shooting this thing, even though I'm kind of nervous and terrified. He's thinking it through. And so he's thinking it through. Making sure Martin's leaving and making sure he's ready. And so I'm like, hey, no pressure, man. We're going to get there. And then, you know, by this summer, he'll just be a regular old white erp out there. I like him getting used to it, though.

You know what I mean? Taking it slow. You need to do that. We're taking it as slow as part. Martin, what are you doing? I was looking to see if I had any two and a half inch shells back there that weren't three inches that would be a little bit better for him than that. I don't even, I wish I could tell you what I don't know.

You bought three inches. It's hard. The two and a halves are actually kind of hard to find. So I would just back, I was just looking to see if I had some smaller ones. That thing was fun, though. There was no kick to that at all. No,

it's just loud. I mean, especially for a kid that's never shot a gun. Yeah. So we're learning. There ain't a quiet one. He's excited about it. That's fantastic.

It was fun. Well, that's why the suppressors they put on high-powered rifles. It's really nice. Yeah. And you can get back to far if you've got kids. Shotgun. They make shotgun suppressors.

I wouldn't put one on a 410. I don't think they make one for this gun. Well, you'd have to get it threaded. They do. You can. Hey, the world, your oyster, buddy. You can get it done. It is 20, 25.

You can get that done. You can make it happen. Yeah. Yeah. But shotgun suppressors, they help a little bit, but they make the front of the gun so heavy. Yeah. That it's like, it just, it's no longer a shotgun.

It's essentially a little small rifle. Well, you've got to use a. You're swinging a shotgun so you don't want that act of your weight. Yeah. So that was Carter's birthday. We kayaked for five minutes and then ran from lightning. Good for him, man. And then we shot a shotgun twice.

Is he a yacker? Working our way. Oh, that boy can paddle. He liked the yak. Very slow on his feet. Quick hands, kind of like his dad. Quick in the water. Nimble.

Nimble, yeah, he was moving quick. That's good. We were going to fish and then the rain ruin that. Yeah, man. It's almost spring. time. Yeah, it is. Yeah.

It's good. That's fun. But at his birthday party, which I'll, before it was started, his friend was in here, whose birthday, that kid, Henry's been watching a lot of Duck Dynasty. Oh, Hank. Okay. Yeah. And all the kids at Carter's birthday party are talking about Duck Dynasty.

I'm like, this is weird. Make you feel old, don't it? I noticed Carter didn't have a shirt on. I was proud of him for that. Yeah, he never wears. That's straight out of Duck Dynasty. He don't wear a shirt. So, yeah, they were all talking about their cousin that was on like one episode.

and Benz looked at him and said, my dad was on episode, and I was like, ugh. Yeah. Dad wins. Yeah. It was a good weekend.

Although we got made fun of Martin for what we would do. They just found out about the Johnny's buffet. Oh, praise God. I said, yeah, me and my buddy Martin been done to shut that down. Yeah. And they were like, Henry said,

I bet y'all could. And I was like, listen, you skinny and a pump. Yeah. Hey, we were one of the three people in Westman Earth that still ate at a pizza hut buffet. To be fair,

that one was no good. It was just a good. is a good yield. It was like five bucks. Pizza Hut buffet was awesome. No. No, it was not. It never was.

There's no such thing as a bad pizza buffet. Well, if there was, that one's it. Now, I refuse to go along with this charade. But the joint that they put in there is pretty solid. So, Javi Peas. That was good. Last night. Did you?

Don't get me close to Academy and not go eat Mexican food. Yeah, Hobby Peas. I saw that place, but I haven't been in there yet. It's as close as West Monroe will probably. ever get to like chippole or something so we'll get a chipotle in like a decade you think i don't know i've given up on them since i ain't here yet i'm figuring i just i don't know how many more chicken places we could have there's a man who loves fried chicken there's other news too what happened what i miss should we tell sigh oh yeah sigh needs to know this we need we need a live reaction to this

She did a lot of the thankless jobs around here. Congratulations, you good looking, thank you. That's what I was like. Yeah, there it is. There it is. You know, we kept Shelby, we kept in touch with her all through these years for size birthday parties and anything else that was going on his 50th anniversary. Yeah, I guess we'll all have to be making a trip to, I guess, probably.

Make sure he's good enough for you, baby. Yeah, you know, Si ain't going to let you end up with no scrub.

Si, sigh, going TLC. Ain't no scrubs around here. Oh, Lord, have mercy. So, sigh, let me ask you something. What did you do to Jace recently? I just saw Jace. I had done nothing to Jace. He calls me going down the road a few days ago.

He called me. He said, oh, Phil, I need you to send me, I was a number. I lost it the last time you sent it to me. I was like, okay, I'll send it to you. What's going on? He was like, well, I got to drop my truck off somewhere over there. I'm thinking about leaving it at Sye's house.

He said, because he's got to go down and take Ms. K, her vehicle anyway. He needed to leave his at Size. And he said, I just don't sigh coming out shooting. You know how he is. I said, shooting. He was like, well, you know, you just never really, can you call him for me and tell him? Well, he don't shoot. He knows the area.

It ain't know what you're going to see. Do you off, go out shooting? Well, I don't know. Well, there's a lot of shots fired down there in the area. No, I'm serious. And he knows all the guns you got pointed at the door. Well, forget that. The one, the most dangerous one, he's got, the one hanging over the door.

That thing will knock a pop knot on your head so fast. I just thought it was funny that he was worried about you. coming out maybe shooting. And he's family. Yeah. Well, he knows they've had some differences through the year, you know. I just saw Jason at the gas station, very friendly. Yeah, he's up here all the time now.

I would say mine and Jason's relationship is better than it's been in a long time, mainly because he's here every other day now that Unashamed's in the building. Unashames here now, that's right. Yeah, Unashames here. So, like, we talk, I don't know. We sit down chat for 15, seems like 15, 20 minutes every other day around here. So he's thriving in grandparenthood. That's funny.

Oh, that's so funny. Jace gets to be a grandparent the same time I'm being a parent. Like our kids are the same age or his grandkids and my kids are the same age. Grandparenthood. Yeah, I never figured him for that. Yeah. But he seems to be a good papal or whatever they call. I don't know what they call.

What do you call? Jace. I don't know what they call him. I don't know whatever happened to papal and mamaw. Like now all the grandparents won't. be called something else. They all make up these weird names. That is a great point.

Yeah, whatever. What happened to Mamma on PayPal? I got mine is going to be when the day comes, Papi Phil. Papi Phil? Yeah. Happy Phil. And Sa, what are you yours?

Poonpaw? Yeah, German. German. Okay, that makes sense. Pum Paul, old ma. I'm texting Reed right now. That tracks. Your kids call.

Read Rob. Jay's, yeah. If he responds. I haven't texted. read since we texted each other on our birthdays. Oh. We have the same birthday. We text once a year.

Happy birthday. That's it. Oh, there you go. I didn't realize that. Huh. So that means just coming up. Okay. You know what?

I'm glad I asked this question. Uh-oh. I'll give you $100 if you can guess what Jace's, what reads kids call Jays. Jace. $500. You won't get it. I'm going Jace. Nope.

Click. It's not. slick. Oh, that's a good guess. It is not granddaddy. It is not grandpa. Not papal. It is not papal.

Mammal? It's some nickname. We're going to go. It's a good nickname, I'm telling you. Gaple. We're going to go with J. Rock. Jay Rock.

Jay Rock. Okay, what are they called Missy? Now I've got enough. She seems, I'm not even going to guess. Yeah. Jay Rock. Jay Rock. And how about it for Reed?

He came up with it. With that. I guarantee you. Read the hustler. You see me text, he's like, he might have a bed or something. He has no idea how unimportant these are. Now he's going to. Now I need to text him.

Hey, send it to me. It's worth $500. But I do like a man who doesn't go into any explanation. He just sent J-Rock. J-Rock. That's interesting. No, no, J-X gave a man. I'll tell you.

Well, yeah, I mean, he picked it. You don't get to pick it. Call him. I'll tell you, he did. I want to know. Jay Rock. Oh, he didn't. Oh, there's no doubt about it.

J Rock. Any update for Missy? No update on Missy. Hmm. Interesting. So you're going to be Pappy Phil? Yeah. Pappy Phil.

When did name names? When did it all become crazy? I don't know. I had a grandmother, a granddaddy, a memo and a papal. Very standard rigs. Yeah. I had Mammal and Pappaw and the endings were their last names. I had Memon Pappo, Pappel, Leonard, and Mammu and Pappo Martin.

You had two of each. Very basic. I like switching them up. Yeah. Mamo Pappo Martin. Mamo and Pappo and Pappo, Leonard. I'm all hell. Yeah.

What are your kids call your mom? Granny. Granny. That was from my nieces. Okay. Yeah, because the first one's good to choose. Yeah, they're older, so.

Sa, what about you, Ma and Paul? Ma' and Paul? Granny and Paul. Granny and Paul. I kind of chose my dad's, though. What is it? He's Papa,

but I called him Papa for years. Yeah. Because he's Papa Bear. That's just one letter all from Papa. Yeah, so that's a pretty, but my mom's J. because she's kind of gangster like that. Jay Mama.

Hey, Jay Rock. Jay Mama? Yeah, I guess we just, it's a lot of letters. Willie's what, dubs? That's what they call him, dubs. Well, he don't even give any of them kids real name. Yeah, that's a good point. Everybody gets a nickname.

Yeah. Phil K. I just, I didn't have no. Well, they go by Philling K. Oh, just standard rig Phel and K. I don't, all of them, I'm all K. I don't know. I mean, when they were kids.

That's what I, that's what I remember. That still blows my mind that your nephews just look at their parents and call them Phil and Kay. Oh, It's mine. Like if I walk back in the honey hole and, like, hey, David, can you go over there and I would think he would hurt me? Hey, Big Dave. I do call him Big Dave a lot.

Okay. I'm never going to drop a David on my father, though. Hello, David. Hello, David. Hello, David. Hello, Janice. I do call her Janice every now I will say ever since everything's happened with Phil

I've heard Jason refer to more times as dad than I probably ever have in the years prior to that so I think there's a and Jason they don't work together anymore either so I think it is more of a rather than a boss employee relationship it's probably a little more father-son now than it has been in times past so but yeah when I started here and they just called them Phil and Kay

I was like, y'all call them mom and dad. I mean, it's not. Jeff was the only one that called him mom and dad. Makes sense. What's tracks, right? Yeah. That was, that was, he was the only one. I had to get, my dad was like two aisles over for me and somebody was asking me a question I didn't know.

So I just said, dad. And then people for the rest of like three minutes later, they were like, are you dad? And he's like, yeah, he's like, I'm just going to come to you from now. I'm just going to come to you from now. I appreciate you. Probably the smart thing to do. Yeah, right now. I'm the old guy.

smarter. Yeah. Anyways. No update on Missy though. No update. See, look, what? You get one shot with Reed. I just texted him.

I said, hey, let me call you. I got a couple questions for you. Who? Reed. Reed. Yeah. Reed Roberts. Oh, he's definitely ignoring us now.

Yeah. Yeah, we're out. He's on. Yeah, we're out. A lot. That's cool. Hunter, what do you call your grandparents? What do you call Big Wendell?

I call him Paw Paul. Pop Paul. I was really hoping you would say Big Windle just said. Big Wendell. Big Wendell. Big Wayne. I mean. Is he?

Wayne to lane very tall. What is he? I think I'm taller than him. Yeah, that's what I thought. I thought you would be about the same if not. About the same a little taller. Yeah. And my dad's like six feet.

Yeah. And your other grandpa from Pennsylvania, we need to have him on the show. What do you call him? Don't make that noise. He's actually going to come down fairly soon. Oh, man. I wonder what kind of inappropriate t-shirt he's going to wear this time.

No grandpa shopping truck shops way too much, man. I realized this the other day. I'm also related to the Lennards. Yes, I told you, you get down there some. We probably somehow, cousin. Somehow. Yeah, you get out there in Ward 9. Yeah, I know some Lennards out there.

Yeah, you get out, my mama was a Leonard, yeah. Wow. I tell you, we all somehow got a little. Somehow. We got a little Kenfolk in all of us out there. That's why I can't date in that little area. Isn't that exactly where you found your girlfriend? No.

You found her at high school? Yeah, well, she was. Her mom drove her from Farmable. I don't know. Union Paris is another one. I don't even want to tackle. Yeah, I don't. Well, I'm not related to anyone in Union Paris.

Allegedly. Well, that's where all my family starts getting weird is Union Parish. You get to Rocky Branch and I'm related to everybody in that cemetery. See? Also, Hunter, I need to talk to you. Listening. There's an email here that says, Poor Hunter, double exclamation point.

And basically just trashes me for being rude to you. it's about time when were you rude to me that's what i'm asking you well i want an apology yeah that's right right hit him hunter yeah we need a hunter camp see i know how hard he's laughing right now hunter do you like when we talk about you have the power to edit out anything we say yeah so if it were embarrassing you or you felt like we were being mean to you would you edit it out correct okay cynthia me and hunter are friends yeah i've noticed a lot of comments about that that we're mean to you mean living through me oh yeah i saw somebody hit that one comment and basically said who cares about hunter i was like well i for one dude i was good yeah you guys

make my job really fun that's what i'm saying i love coming in here and talking to you if nobody messes with you they don't care nothing about you well especially yeah because this is i mean we call it a podcast and we call it a duck call room but if you ever played sports this is way more akin to a locker room. So I said it in that comment. I said, Hunter has seen us at our absolute best and our absolute worst. And he's got the video to prove it.

Well, but he shows up every day regardless, right? So then you know your best, it's probably not great, but your worst also isn't terrible. So, because otherwise you'd bail, right? You'd be like, no, I'm out on them claims.

Like, yeah, if we were just perennial butt holes to them, like, no, man, we care about it. We just want to say, I want Hunter to have what's best for it. I heard a loving conversation between you and Hunter as I walked in earlier today. Uh-oh. What? That one was a little. What?

Yeah. I'm not bringing it on. No, when the cameras ain't on, we get a little more real. We get into the details of each other's lives and like everything's good, man. I will say, do y'all remember that one guy that emailed in too about Hunter? And he said now that he's no longer looking, he'll find somebody within 30 days. Oh, he did. He is now emailed again.

And said he was right? He said, not saying I'm right yet. Oh, he's right. But I'm tracking. I was thinking about that the other day. When a Mark shows up on somebody, you're right. That's Ryan from, I don't remember where he's from. I can tell you where he works and his email.

You got Mark, boy. Three of his phone numbers. There's been contact. It was an interesting email read today is all I'm saying. And I was like, whoa, I thought me in Hunter. we're friends, but Cynthia thinks I'm mean to Hunter. It's got personal words.

But she didn't say me specifically. She's talking about all of us. It seemed directed at one. Well, yeah, that's because you get the emails. How she's going to be mean to sigh if you, you know. And it don't matter what side does. Ain't nobody are maddened. Except for that one guy says he talks too much.

Which I don't get that. I'm like, you're listening to a podcast, bro. Like, you want us to just sit here with dead air? Yeah, but this one says, You aren't funny. I was sickened. the listener who asked what you were on that day or hadn't taken that day, ma'am, I don't take anything,

made a sensible observation. Anymore. I've never been on riddling. Lulu, Missy's name. We got J. Rock and Lulu. Lou Lou. Okay. I like that.

I like Lulu. Yeah. I like that. That's tight. That's tight. That's sick, bro. I like, no, I like it. Lulu's a good one.

I like it. I like it. I only laugh because there's a one guy. Hey, I like to. He tells me to quit trying to be cool by saying that's tight. I actually got two to do that. I'm not trying to be cool. I replied to that guy.

Oh, yeah, in the clerv, we all fam. So my greatest comebacks yet. Yeah, Hunter put it, put the reply to, hey, man, in the cler, we all fam. I was like, golly. That's tight. Somebody thought you were trying to be cool? By saying that's tight. And I'm like, we're going to go down a weird.

That's just something I say, man. I look at them because a lot of them make me giggle. There are some really clever people out there, so comments on a lot of things make me giggle. One time somebody said, John David, we get it, you have tattoos.

I'm like, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? I'm not trying to like, well, look at me. Yeah, what you want me to do? Go full body suit up in here? Like, I mean, it's not.

I could do this. Anyway, I like our fans. I like the people in this room too. Yeah, I don't know. We're all friends. It's a shocker. Yeah, ain't that something?

A place where you come to work and you get along? Well, most of them. but everybody in this room especially like everybody everybody in here we would not have made it 450 episodes if we didn't all have some sort of mutual admiration for hunter and the whole gang amen but i feel yeah i feel the same way about i mean hunter josh big hair who for some reason got a haircut wow what have you not seen him big hair got a haircut big hair it's not little hair oh big hair is now just Josh oh he there's no more oh yeah it's crazy, though. I'm going to go be mean to him next.

But even, I mean, on the whole podcast side, we had Alex in here the other day. We got Madison. Madison, producer, Beth. Like, I love them all, man. I text Beth every time something funny happens between Canada and America. Which, that's really picked up here.

I've had to slow it down a little. And this fix is straight up. We got to take a trip. To where? I've been convinced. I met a man Neil from Iowa. Oh, I met him today. Yeah.

Yeah. And he, he, I saw a thing on the internet because he's a walleye fisherman. And I saw a thing on the internet and somebody asked if croppy or walleye were better. Yeah,

walleye get a very good reputation as being quality food. I don't, we don't have it. I've never had one. And all the northerners are like, that's not even a close to a question. And I'm like,

no, no, that's not true. Yeah, we went walleye fishing. No, that's not true. They're close to a cropy, okay, for a forest flavor.

Yeah. And the meat. So this, it's white, you know. Flaky. Flaky. Okay, so they're very close. My father says that's the best eating fish he's ever had. Walla?

Walach. Yeah, I've heard that a lot. But you tell me it's true. I think it has a lot to do with the people that actually catch it. And how it's prepared. And prepare it. Okay, they did. You know what else that has to do with?

Because I, I've had, I've had, I've had, meals that, you know, I get an example, the access deer. Yep. He's good. That's the best mate it is, deer mate. Well, I've had it. It was pitiful. Yeah.

The guy that done it didn't know what he was doing. That's probably true. That's just the truth. Well, okay. If you got a person that knows what he's doing with it, cleans it properly, and then fries it like it's supposed to be fried. Yeah. Well, and I'm a big believer, too, when it comes to fish, the cold.

the water, the better the fish. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's true. Like cold water croppy, wintertime croppy, significantly greater than summertime cropy. The flavor is different. Yeah, it's funny, man. The flavor is different.

Someone who's eating so much fish, I've never considered that. Walleye and crappie, okay, if you was actually to put them together, and if you know what you're doing, you would probably have a hard time picking, Which is which? That's good to know. I want to go north just to catch a walleye and eat it.

Look at old Phil and walleye Dan. That's walleye. No, that's not walleye Dan. That's one of the guys that we went with. Did you keep that walleye? I ate that walleye. Oh, he looks small. That was good.

Okay. Hey, we didn't catch any big ones. You were lucky if you caught anything. I got you. I don't know nothing about it. I call it a bunch of what it called Shuners. Well, yeah, you can't catch them because you're stuck fishing a one-foot hole. And ice.

dropping straight down. They got live scope for that. I'm like, what difference is? Oh, what they do is they drill a hole and then they pan to see where the fish are and then they go drill another hole right on top of them. That's what they do. I'm for it.

I'm for it. Yeah, they've gotten smart at that. Then they just go grid the whole area where they saw the fish. Yeah. Now, it was 20 below and it was freezing. And so we dropped the cameras down in there. And the first time that we saw a fish come up,

So I got excited. Okay, boys, here we go, here we go. And when he caught the fish and brought it up, it was about that big, about six inches long. Two inches long. Yeah. Yellow perch. I said, I said, boys, we use this as bait or we're going.

Send him back down. Put a hook through him and send him back down. Hey, look, here's what you do with this. Yeah. I did a hook you between the eyes and stood back there. I said, let's use some yo-yoes. They were like, oh, no, you can't use yo-yo's. It's illegal.

But you can have tip-ups, tip-ups. Okay. Yo-yo's. None are expensive now. I'm ready for the spring. Anyways. I'll hear you. I hope y'all are too.

Honor, we got any voice mails? Hi, guys. My name is... Hey, guys. Just had a question from Uncle Si and Martin. Uncle Sai, who are you in the Veggie Tales? And Martin, would you let the boys watch that episode with Uncle Si? Thanks, guys.

AJ from New Hampshire. Hadn't I been in Veggie Tail? Yeah. He's the Okra, bro. Ain't that right? I don't know what I was. Yeah, it was a good one. I think it's a Christmas special.

Is that what it is? Whatever. I thought that was a... I can't even think of... Cucumber? Pickles, yeah, cucumber. Yeah, I thought that's what you were, too. I know, I feel like it was green.

But I've tried to get the boys watching veggie tails, and they're saying, eh. They're way more interested in rubble and crew. They like dogs with excavators. Who'd that? Yeah, shocker, right? You voice Si Robertson is an American television personality preacher, hunter outdoorsman, former U.S. Army soldier and duck callmaker. And he is the voice of Silas in Mary, Larry, and the True Light of Christmas.

Now I'm trying to figure out who Silas is. Silas is the janitor at the Spring Valley Mall. Let's see it. And he is, I think he's. He's some sort of... Nailed it. There you are. He is an okra.

There you are. Oh, I was okra. I love okra. Hair color gray. Hair color gray. Look, Tsai, you're an okra pod, man. That makes sense, though, because ochre got their little hairs on it. Yeah.

And I'm assuming that was a... Southern thing. A redneck or... Okay, so that's why I've got them two stupid things stuck on my... Bulletin book. Is it awards? No, it's okra. Yeah, I wonder where they come from and I was saying.

All these years later. Yeah. And now I find out, well, you used to be an okra. He said okra. I love ochre. Oakhers good, man. My buddy Ryan made some ochre the other night. What kind?

I was skeptical. Was it good? He fried a whole pod? No. Why were you skeptical then? He's not known for his cuisine. Ryan, the preacher? Yeah.

Yeah, I could, that might have made sense. Yeah, he's five. foot eight hundred pounds can bike 82 miles whatever yeah fried ochre wouldn't rather check a lot boxes that's what i'm saying of course you look at him you wouldn't think he's a very good preacher he's so good he just don't look like a preacher yeah that's a guy like he looks like a guy this should be selling me like home security systems or something final signing not installing i'm just selling them like he got the little sweaters on and like you know okay i like ryan i'm just saying yeah that's a guy though he strikes me of some kind of salesman

Much he is selling. I mean, he is. Eternal life. Yeah. Bible sales. If you act today. Yeah. Big damn, man.

Levitticus 11, 12. If you're still reading along in the Bible recap, congratulations. You just finished numbers and your brain is confused. But one of my favorite verses I've run across so far reading the Bible for an entire year is in Leviticus. It is 11-9. Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, You may eat any that have fins and scales. And serve it with a side of okra.

Walleye, copy, however you want. Hey, you can either have it boiled or fried. Yeah. I prefer fried. It's real good in peace. What ochre? I like it in my gumbo. Some people don't.

I like it in the top. No, Phil goes overbole over there. He does? Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah. All right. We'll see y'all next time. Phil and ochre like size.
