Welcome back to the Duck Call Room. Duck Call. Well, Sy. First of all, welcome to 2022, folks. Oh, yeah. Okay. I hope it's a great year for everybody. Yep.

Well, you know what? Every time the year changes over, most people, they come up with a New Year's resolution of some sort. All right. Do you have one? No. which they never keep, by the way. That's why I don't do that, okay? The only thing I do is, okay,

I was a pretty good person in 2021. He's pretty good. Pretty, pretty good. Have we talked about this already? Yeah, we did. But Phil wasn't here. Okay, so we need Macmillan's New Year's Resolution. Size's just going to try and be.

I'm going to be a better person in 2022 than I was in 2021 and leave this earth in a better shape. Can me and Stone make a list for you? The things need to work on? No, you don't make lists from somebody else's resolution. That's a better way. He doesn't need anything on his list. So what about you?

Well, I don't do resolutions. You know, whenever I want to do something or not do something, then I just do it. But that's like... Is there anything you're going to do or not do starting... Well, you know what? I might drop a few LBs. How are you going to do that?

I know a guy that can have a pound. Pounds, drop a few pounds. Oh, okay. LB. Yeah. LBs. Pounds. LBs.

Well, I do. You know, hey. Well, the January marks the halfway point in the Louisiana duck season. Oh. And I'm going to go. I'm here to tell you. You better have a gut full of it. Uh, well.

Be honest with you. Yeah. I feel like a, I feel like I'm about 60. Well, that's because you run with, you know, old, old fart like, man, Phil. Well, I'll tell you. Phil might be 70, how old is he, 76? 70, no, 75. I'm 75, he's 75, two years old.

He might be 75, but he still runs like he's 35 as far as duck hunting goes. He's going to go every day. We've had record highs this past week. It's been getting up in the 80s. 81 Sunday, I think. There's. Not duck hunting weather. I'm the scout, so I get into P-Roe, and I go over the whole property, and there is not a duck.

Not one duck on the whole property. Times are bad, boys. So my advice was, Phil, we don't have not a duck on the premises. Let's sleep him Let's take a day off He said Why would you ever do that? Why would you?

See y'all duck cut it this morning I can hear it now I can hear it now Do you look at you like this? I'm trying to change The way he thinks As far as You know most people

Wait till the duck show up Then go duck up But we got What you call FOMO What's that? The fear of missing out he has that's a diagnosis and i think phil robertson has a major

fomo of a duck showing up and he was watching the weather channel at the house instead of killing it i said jays came up with that what's the word for that acronym is that what that's called anyways it's very accurate with our hunting party because for years if i was sick or something and I would hope that they wouldn't get them.

And that was when they'd get them. The fear of missing. He was rooting against. You shouldn't hope that they didn't get it. It always worked out. Well, Phil had it yesterday because me and Jace went. And we went on the early hunt before church. And Phil didn't want to go because he had to preach.

But he had barely call about 9 o'clock to find out what they missed out on. he said what about he called he said Phil wants to know what he's missing out I said three witties and a gadwall that's what he missed that's it but he had that that FOMO so bad that he just had to know

had to know because I admit I used to have it but now I do not have it Realism Well that's what you go because when I was living in Alabama I come over here for about five days so we just you all

I'm coming up. It's about just, I got one more day, you know, and I said, well, I said, well, boys,

we left, I left Saturday. I said, well, boys, y'all burn them tomorrow. And that's what you're talking about? I said,

the temperature's going to drop 40 degrees and I've got to go back to Alabama. I said, so y'all will smoke them tomorrow. Burn the gun barrels off.

So, hey, they call me, yeah. They call me, usually I have to call them and say what they found out. They called me and said, you were right you kill 75

they wasn't rubbing it ill were they oh yeah oh yeah rub it yeah they said it might be the fear of the rub in yeah

I said I knew that oh they loved rub it in but that's the way it goes okay if you miss out but here's the whole thing if there ain't no ducks yeah

well it's been let's you know and hey these are you know I'm gonna understand if I go because I'm uneducated so that means I'm able to

okay But for educated people to go, they just keep going. That's bad news. But it finally got cold. Yeah. Did it bring any ducks with it? About 25.

About 25. No, didn't it bring, didn't bring none. They came. They don't come down. Because it was 80 degrees Saturday and then Sunday it was snowing for a minute. Yeah. Wow. What has to happen for the ducks to come down here?

I'm going to tell you. Tell me. From Arkansas north. It has to be about two foot of snow. And then they'll leave up there because, hey, all the grain will be covered. I'll tell you what, it's been tough. Woo. Yeah.

It's been tough this year. I mean, look. I want Jay to tell the story that I heard when I was at Your House Friday on speakerfall when Jay said he's going to leave early. And Phil was like, you're going to miss out. You're going to miss out. You're going to miss it. You're going to be telling your grandkids about what we do here today.

when you leave. Yeah, that's when Jay's talking to him and he said, no, you're going to have to tell the grandkids, because I'm out of here. Yeah. And Stone went with him. I said, I'm with you fellas. But the way, the way Phil does it, you know, he don't really have anything else to do. He just seems to send that duck blind.

So he'll, he'll say, boy, is about 10, 15, you're not going to believe what you're going to see here. You're going to be telling your grandkids about it. And then after 1015 comes and goes, he'll say, boys, I've seen about 1130. You're not going to believe what's fixing to happen here. I used to fall for that. I don't know. You know what I said? Yesterday we're sitting there about noon.

And he said, boys, I remember when Paul used to talk about that 2 o'clock flight, it's like the daylight flurry starting over again. He said, I'm telling you, 2 o'clock, that'll be the leading edge. Well, my God. I've got to say, hey, he's always positive, buddy. He's always positive duck hunter I've ever. Well, the last time I hunted. I ain't been a couple of days.

Well, about a week. Okay. So anyway, the last time I hunted was on the lake. Okay. And we killed, I think, eight, and I kill three of them. Thank you. Because I kept telling them, I said, boys, I said, I was three for three. Well, Jay said, no, you're out.

And I said, no, no, I'm not out. I said, three wood ducks come in, I kill two of them. Yeah. I said, then two jacks come in and I kill one of the jacks. I said, so I was three for three. Well, since they get badmouthed me, Stone would call me and say, hey, look, you know, you don't need to go. Just don't waste your time. I said, okay, I ain't gonna be there.

So there's bad mouth of me. So guess what? They ain't killing them, doily squat. No, I ain't there. The shooter's gone. The shooters gone. That's it. That's why we ain't killing nothing.

Does he do like Phil? Is he positive? Like, hey, guys, it's going to be a 10.30 flight? No. He don't do that? Jace? No, Jace is quiet. He stays in his end and looks for ducks.

I only been with him one time. He was real serious. That was the end of the cold, boys. Well, you don't raise up and shoot. That's right. On your own. You know. Hey, I've learned.

Only two people call cut them. That's it. I've learned. Last name is Roberts. The weed out process is, is, It's a pretty good process. If you get weeded out, you're weeded out. I mean, deal with it.

But they ought to give you a heads-up on, hey, here's how this works. Yeah. Because he didn't even get a heads-up. No. He made a mistake and it cost him. Always remember this, Philip. Always remember this. Blood is thicker than mud.

What's that, boys. With that, let's take a quick commercial. Let's take a break. Let's take a break. quick break 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 it's our friend sall 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 Triedales 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 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 ain't a big meat eater, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

Stone, you been cooking anything good? thicker than mud. Oh, yeah. Well, we're going to eat good Sunday night? Oh, yeah, we're going to eat good Sunday night. We got a buddy of ours from the great state of Mississippi. Mississippi. He's coming here?

Dr. D. Dr. Dines, you need to meet him. I don't know him. Oh, yeah. He's a character now. Oh, he's a good one. You ever, he's a keeper. He's a keeper.

You know the movie, Oh, Brother, Where Art now, when they're singing the song about the guy going to jail. He's in the jailhouse. In the jailhouse. In the tune of E, fellas. In the neighborhood. In the neighborhood of D. It wasn't bad.

It was good to you, boys. Which one is he? All right. So anyways, yeah, he's one of them. He looks like the little skinny one. He's got a red beard. He's got a long red beard. Well, hey, I'll tell you, a secret.

If you ever seen the, what is the medicine show, what's the name of it? Old Crow Medicine Show. Hey, that's what you, he's one of them. Yeah, but don't none of them fellas. In constant sorrow. But don't none of them fellas look like Dr. Dates. Oh, he's got a unique look of his own. Hey, let me, can I tell the story about how you and him met?

Well, yeah, go ahead. So we're at it, we're at a, well, I'm going to tell most of the story. Go ahead. When Si had an event, we were doing a skeet shoot, which actually started making this home for Hope's, a lot of more money since me and Jay and Cy kind of talked to him about it. That was my idea. It was your idea. You get a bunch of rednecks together with shotguns. You can make some money.

So he's part of the homes for Hope. Well, he's one of the sponsors. So he gives them money. Him and his buddy, Jay Graham. Day Graham. So they've got a big tour bus that belongs to Jay Graham, and it used to belong to Brooks and Dunn. So that's where...

So he's a character, but sounds like he's doing all right. Oh, he's doing all right. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, he's a doctor. So look, they say... At Artaic, he's a doctor. They say, sigh, this is your bus where you're going to be able to go and take a break.

It's going to be your green room, okay? So Stone is walking up on the bus. and Dr. Deans and Jay Graham are on the bus so Stone walks in. First he looks at Dr. Deans and he said, what are you doing on this bus? And Dr. Deans was like, well, I mean, and then he turned to the other guy and said, how about you? What are you doing on here? He was like, man, I own it. He was like, where you can stay.

You got to go. So what about you here? You get that holy looking better out of here. He said, that's when I knew he was going to be friends. That's it. And we've been friends ever since. You can stay, but you gotta go. But no.

That's the short version. Well, you know, we were on the bus and these two hands come up on it. I don't know who they are. It's true. I thought somebody will try to, you know, mess with Simon or whatever. Hoodwink. So anyways. So I always had better security than Willie.

Yeah. For sure. Because I didn't do know. So the funny part is we still tell that story and laugh about it. but these guys have become really good friends of mine. And we keep in contact. I talk Dr. Danes about once a week, keep up with each other's family and whatnot.

But it's funny how you meet people. Yeah. We've met a lot of good people. They're like family. If we go to Mississippi, I want to see them. That's it. Or if they come through here, you know. That's right.

So he's coming here Sunday, by the way. We're going to have us feed. Hey, and it helps when if they're good friends, I've got big ponds full of big, largemouth bath. Hell yeah. That helps a lot. Hey, John David's a good thing. Me and BK, I had to hit that at once in a while.

The first time we went, they took us to one of Jay Graham's ponds to go fishing, and we didn't catch nothing. And Stone said, this is a gar-hole, boys. Oh, gar-ho. So the next time we came, they took us and we caught a bunch of fish, and Jay was like, man, what happened that first time we came? They said, we didn't know you. We didn't want to turn you on to the good fish. We didn't know you. Good enough.

We didn't know you. So, the first time Dr. Dean's coming to go fish with me, guess what? Gar-holding? He got gar-holding. He got gar-holding. He took them to Jason's Pond, not Willys? But anyways, this January, early January, halfway through duck season. This morning, I get up with my voices.

I'm losing my voice a little bit because yesterday, the whims blowing 30 miles an hour out of the northwest. And you all hunted it till dark. Yeah. Ride the hole, Johnny D. Because you keep thinking in past years, when a big front came through like that, the ducks or geese or whatever, some showed up. Yep, they did.

It was sleet, wintry mix, 30-mile-hour northwest wind. It never happened. It never happened. So you didn't kill anything. We killed nine ducks. And hey, here's a bad person. the last one was shot at 7.30 a.m. That's right.

And I left the blind at 5.15. They left at 5.15. I got home about 6.30. I told the wife, I said, I don't know if I can keep doing this. So you were in a duck blind from 8 until 5.30? No, I left the house at 3.30 a.m. But I'm saying from 8 a.m. to 5.30, you were there and didn't. No, that's right.

Didn't fire one shot. Just camaraderie. So what do y'all do? You tell stories? It was me and Jace, really. There was an early shift, and then I took the early shift back to the bank. Jay stayed in the blind, and then later on, Phil and Burley showed up. And that was the late shift.

And you just. But me and Jay stay there all day. So, what do you do when you're riding the hole? Yeah, what do you tell stories, you cook, you all eat? I don't, I've got where I don't do that anymore. Sye's out. No, but the sad part is since I hadn't been there, there ain't been no laughing. Yeah, it's like, is there's a story time.

Lackers out, boy, snake. Yeah. I don't know. I would have been able to even laughing. If I ain't there, no, laughter's out. And Al's got it right. He said, it's Phil and Jason that they have an infatuation with misery. Who's a male?

Look, will you get some, Phil get some new meat like somebody new shows up? He'll ride them from daylight to dark just to see what they're made of. And then laugh about it the next day. How did Evil Eye do? Oh, he did good. Oh, Evil Eye, he's one of them. He's a hunter now. I don't think you could wear him out.

Nope. He's one of them. That's another one we need to have on here. He's a character. We got a lot of strange collection. of humans Phil nicknamed him I've met him

and Jay said hey look you need to change that you know you shouldn't have done that yeah and Phil said what are you talking about son he said well the man can't see out of that eye he had an accident when he was a child he said evil is

he said evil that's talking about the devil and Phil said well hey look you know and so the next time he came down he said stone take old take old bugger eye get him in the rig. I look at Lance, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's smiling.

He don't think that of it. The compassion of the Robertsons. Phil does everything out of love. I mean, he chewed me out this morning, out of love. Hey, look, they don't fool with you? Evil, uh. Hey, you didn't make the cut. I moved Phil's forewitter this morning and took a butt chewing.

That's right. And what he meant. He got out of the blind. Went on a lot. So, he does a lot of the, uh, they call it. a walkout. Yeah. In Australia,

a walkabout. A walkabout, Mike. A walkabout. Yeah, I do a lot of walkabout. He does a lot of walkabout. He's got an Australian in him. He does a lot of walkabout. Ace.

Okay. Oh, that's good stuff. So on that note. You know, James goes out there, put the decoys out and all this, and it's rough right now. It's rough. Okay. I mean, hey, it's tough.

I'm surprised we hadn't got stuck going in there. Oh, it's tough. You know, because the roads are all muddy in, the ruts of deep. and all this and so they go in there Jay had scowded it and told them hey I did not see a duck let's don't go up there yeah let's not even go okay let's not even go oh let's sleep in nope we got to go and then they went up arsill for it's hard to get into then he goes out there and every time he takes a step putting decoored out you think about a foot and a half and mud yeah so you're the whole time you out to put out decoors you're this close from getting wet

Okay. Oh, it's rough. So look, he comes back, y'all. Phil's not even worried about being banished. Jason said, hey, somebody needs to move his four-wheeler. So Phil said, hey, mine's taken care of. I brush it. Y'all one gets in the other one, drives it 20 yards and leaves it apart right in the middle of the open ball.

Ball open. So, jace, y'all, y'all, jays come back. Is that what you got in trouble for? Oh, yeah. Yeah, Jason said, hey, look, we got to do something for a horse. Jason, did I get him, I'll take them,

yeah. So he gets in the first one, drives it, 200 yards, parks it, comes back, gets in the first, takes it,

drives it, you know, Phil said, what are you doing? Yeah. He said, I'm moving the stupid, what four-winds

just right here beside the blind. Young Phil said, just brush. And Jay said, hey, there was two willers on it, on the top.

Well, I think it was three. But anyway, yeah, so, so Jay goes on a walkabout, and then Phil, jumps on Jason and Stone

About you boys You don't got for you all Thank y'all know it all Blah blah blah blah You know what the crazy thing He just told that story He wasn't even there So you weren't there

No It happened this morning Yeah Oh shit my legs crapping Hey What we got Hey that's the thing Hey that's the thing about

Not a big brother But a younger brother He hears it and sees it all boys He sees it all. All right. Stones need some potassium. He's too many walkabout. So we're going to take a break.

Walkabout break. Regather us. Sile, tell us more stories he wasn't there for. Right after this. So we watched the video this morning. I said there wasn't no laughing this morning, but it was, actually.

We watched the video, Sire, you'll remember this. Where, you know, Clint and him, who does all our social media for Duk Commander. They got a, they got a, uh, tick-tack now. TikTok for those.

TikTok. TikTok, I believe. So they, they got sigh on there. The, the, one of the best arguments I've ever been a witness of, been witness to, where 50 pentails were working around there. This was 20 years ago. 20 years ago, there's 40 or 50 pentails working around. we don't ever see pentails so jace gets all excited about them well they work around work around work

around you duck hunters know that that pentails you know once they do that they get within 40 you better get what you can get but three of them peeled out low and was back pedaling over the decoys now back in these days we're trying to get footage for for the old DVDs we used to used to run the original duck commander to DVDs so getting duck footage was critical and uh it's pretty much our livelihood back in them days so anyways jay said kill those three

where we raised up and the group was about 60 I'd say 60 to 70 yards at least at least at least yeah so we all emptied our shotguns on the high bunch and jay said well y'all y'all at least we got

to three and and sigh said what three well sigh Tommy and Phil they never saw the three low ones they just saw the high ones

which me and jace we saw the three low ones but they were on their side so we thought they got them so nobody shot at the three no no nobody shot I raised up and like that it was probably 60

first shot mea I mean so here we go feathers feathers all right here it is sigh so you're ready Yeah. Johnny Dees got it. Why are you hollering?

Why are you hollering? You keep pointing right in front of you. If they were 15 yards doing this in front of you, you should have killed all three of them. Sounds mad. They just swung past that tree right there. Eat it. I knocked one down and I shot at him up in a million. No.

Bad call. Bad call. Yeah, it's a bad call. I made a bad call on them four gadwold. other day. You just made a bad call on 40. Get them. That's just dumb. But the pass before was close from that. You wanted always talking

smack about by shooting. I just saw it. It's terrible. I didn't kill the whole bunch of them. They were in front of y'all. I'm not going to take the blame. You're in this duck blind. If they're 20 yards from me, they're 20 yards from you. They weren't? Well, I ain't taking the blame, Jack. You know, so you can get off

for that horse. Phil's in the background just dying. Hey, I remember like it was yesterday. So I said, you can get all that horse because he's dead. So I'm fired up, Sam. Did you get fired up? I don't know, because I don't even remember it now when he was saying, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot.

Because if I had heard that, I said, no, you're talking to the idiot. If you see three at 20 or 15 and didn't kill him, you're the idiot. I mean, that was Duck Dynasty level. I ain't taking the blame, Jack. That could have gone on a T-shirt. That was 20 years ago.

You believe that? I remember it like it was yesterday. That was funny. Look, and they hollered for an hour. That didn't even do that argument, justice. There was hollering for a solid hour. I ain't taken the blame. Over those three stupid pentails.

Over a dunk, no laughs. Over three. Three stupid pentails. That's what I'm so funny about it. It's over a duck. Siza, so was it you against everybody else? No, no. Look, it's usually me against all of them anyway.

Okay, because according to Phil Robertson and Jason, I've never killed a duck in my life. Okay. And unbeknownst to both of them, I kill my share every time we go. Well, you told me that Stone was cleaning the ducks and found a bunch of your shells in them. you're shot. He takes it easy on them. Oh. Yeah.

I'm on side side. Because hey, look, the best one on that, when Phil had Moss Lake, okay, he had a bunch of people that was with him and they paid money, okay, to least Moss Lake and Fish Lake. You know, him and Tommy, and then the other people. Well, they got the blind. We got the blind one morning. I'm a guest, okay. So we killed a bunch of ducks. they're sitting there and here comes one big mile of Drake.

Well, I'm so used to being around them that when they said, okay, you go ahead and kill him, they usually raise them killing. So I was rushed my shot and missed him. Well, hey, they all put on spurs and started riding me like a bronch. They're going to, you know, break, wild bronch. So I'd had a gut full of it. So, hey, the next day we went, okay, and I said, they got on me again. You messed up and shot by yourself.

No. No, no, no. I just don't know. They said, you kill him. Well, I figured one of them was going to kill him, so I shot fast and I missed you. Yeah. Well, they rolled me all day.

So the next day we come, and I said, okay, and they jumped on me again. And I said, okay, boy. Okay, boy. So, look, we're back at the place where we clean them now, and we're cleaning them. So I said, well, all right, boy, since y'all been riding me all day, I said, I don't think I'm going to put my spurs on, and I fix the ride you, clowns a little bit. So, hey, we had about 40

or 50. So I said, okay, and that's the... How many of y'all was it? Oh, it's about eight of us, yeah. And I said, I said, okay, let's set the stage for this little production here. I said, what are you shooting?

And they all said, I'm shooting 12 and number two shot. I said, what are you shooting? You know, it's 12th number twos. Yeah, what do you shoot? Twelve number twos. Twelve number two. I said, well, I said, P.R., where are you shooting? He said, 16-gauge sixes.

I said, yeah, that's what I'm shooting to, 16-gauge sixes. So we start cleaning them, and like I said, we had about 50. And I said, okay, let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ten, him ten right there, that's 16-gauge six shot. Oh, hey. All right. Here we go, boys. There's one duck for a number.

It's 12-gaged twos. Oh, another 12. Okay, another 12 ducts for six. 16 gauge sixes. Now you've broken a lot. Golly, hey, boys. Oh, hold it. There's two more, there's two more

Ducks that's got twos in them, you know? So y'all are three, we're about 18. You know, so it goes up and I said, okay, boys, here's the final count. 43 to seven. So two of you killed 43 ducks in one day? No, side, no. No, no.

So I said, hey, all right, here's the final count, boys. I said, hey, 16-gauge 6th, 43, 12-gauge 2s, 7. I said, oh. I got a question for you. You ain't got nothing to say over there? They got off of you. Oh, they took them spurs off him. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, they didn't, hey. What's the difference between a 16-gauge number six and a 12-gauge number six? Huh? What's the difference? No, it won't be a difference. That's right. Sixes. Yeah, six is.

Sixes, baby, little holes. Yeah. Tools looked like they'd been shot with buckshot, okay? Yeah. But anyway, I finally, Phil said, hey, come in me, we're going toward getting the trucks, go hunting the next day. Phil said, hey, I said, what? He said, yeah, I don't care.

He said, but, hey, he said, but the other ones do. I said, they're paying money. He said, I know, I said, it was justified you doing that to them. He said, because we rose you pretty hard. I said, yeah, for missing one mile or drink. He said, but don't do that again. He said, they're paying money and you're not your guest. I said, Roger that.

So you just shame the boys that paid to hunt with you. I don't. Don't ride me. If you can't take a little ribbon yourself, don't rip me. Nope. Oh, if you don't have thick skin around where we hunt. Hey, that's true. Homie, don't play that long.

Don't play that. Well, on that note, on 12-2-6, 16, 4s, and twos and sixes, we're going to take another break and we'll be right back. Right after this. Right after this. By the way, have y'all noticed my attire today? It's nice. Shurpa?

It's fleece. I call it a shacket. A shacket? A shacket. I have a shacket. I like the color. Yeah, I like it, too. No, I like the color.

All in one. It's just the best thing since pockets on a shirt. Is that one of our sponsors? And that is a shirt with pockets. Oh, yeah. I'll figure it. Where did that come from? My mother-in-law will give it to me.

Okay. Lisa. No, Lisa. Okay. I never have. No, this thing is incredible. I mean, you're talking about warm. It's got, feel that, Philip?

No, her and Al, her and Al both. I like that. They bought a vest. I have some kind of. Al has a vest. Mule. Not an emil. Alpaca.

Alpaca. Alpaca. Oh, now. The deal was closed. Alpaca, emule. That's the same thing. I don't know what this is. I think it's wool on the inside.

It's nice. Oh, it's real nice, Clark. Or fleece. It's a real good. True grit. True grit. Was that a Christmas present? Yeah, about three years ago.

Oh, by the way. I thought it was like a new discovery. But Al and Kellett had a real good lesson Sunday. Tell us about it. Well, it was Matthew 28. where Jesus is calling the disciples together. Yep. And said, all authority has been given me in heaven and on earth.

Therefore. Well, no, no, it got me thinking. So I went after the lesson, after everybody fixed you to leave, and went up and told Al, I said, hey, Kedadar had left. I said, that was a real good lesson. I said, but I got a question for you. I said, in the original Hebrew or Arabic or whatever language, Greek.

You know, our Greek, what was the word for authority? Man, you're getting deep. Well, no, no, because I wanted to know, okay. This just became a 300-level course. Yeah, and Al said, I do not have to answer to that, but I will look it up. So I went back to the house,

got my Bible out, looked it up, and it had like eight verses, you know, down there in the bottom. I'm talking about, okay, go check this out. And it was talking about Jesus' authority because one of them, I think, Augusta or whatever, when he was before him, they was asking Jesus, by what authority are you doing all these miracles you've been doing? And he said, well, I'll ask you a question. And if you tell me, then I'll take it. Well, he asked him a question, and they wouldn't tell him, so he didn't tell him what authority.

But I thought it was cool. The Bible said, okay, he has authority over the universe. verse. Okay. Well, when I was telling an aisle, I said, well, here's what hit me when y'all was talking about that. I said, in my little mind,

Jesus has the, because this was right after he was, was, he has risen from the dead. It's when he told them. You know, I said, well, here's what come in my mind. Jesus has the authority. He turned to death and said, hey, depart from me and don't ever let me

see your face again, me are my people, which I think is really cool. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But anyway, that was just a side note. That's a pretty good side note. The great commission. But it was cool. They did have an excellent...

You know what I got authority over? What? Doodley squat. But at least you know it. He got authority over. That's the difference between most people. Okay. He knows. Okay. And I just... I ain't got a 30 old.

I don't know. Yeah, okay. What was that old woman's name on Josie Wales? Oh, Granny Hawkins. Oh, you know what that means? Josie Wells. You can pay me when you see me, Josie. Doodley, Scrox.

All that big talk. Doodley, squawk. Side doesn't got me going down a rabbit hole of the word authority and Hebrew and all sorts of stuff. Well, hey, what, yeah. Excusea. What? excusia exusia i guess i don't know exusia maybe

it's not an english word there it is exusia so power authority moral authority influence in a personal sense of spiritual and heavenly power well the unique thing when i looked up the scriptures

the different ones one of them was when he was a child and was in there and expounding on, you know, the Bible, they said, hey, this is a child, and he speaks as one that has authority. So Jesus was doing it, okay, as a child with authority. Yeah, so it was, they had a lot of cool things in there.

You like the word authority? Well, no, no, I just like, no, I like his authority, okay? because when you can tell death, hey, depart from me and don't let me ever see your face again and don't you ever bother my people again, either. Because we were meant to be eternal beings.

Because in the garden, there was a tree there that we had the right to eat from, the tree of life. So it's pretty cool when you think about it. Oh, Johnny De, that's a nice watch you guys there. What's he got? Let me see that. So how did we go to that from the authority of Jesus Christ? It's an heirloom.

That's real nice. Hell, stop it. Roll it this way so we can see. I have the authority of Alton Howard to wear this wherever I want to. You know what I call that, sir? That's highfalutin. That's high cotton, sigh. High pollutant.

Now I'm confused. I was about to go down the authority route. Let's talk about my watch, shall we? It's nice. It was glittering. Is that a gift? It was a gift. Yeah.

From who? Out and Howard. Okay. Maybe you've heard of him. Yeah, I've heard of him. I knew. I knew him well. Yeah.

I knew him well. Well, this was actually from my mom. He was a song leader. He was a song leader. This was from my mom, but he owned the store where it was purchased from. He was a jewelry salesman slash Bible singer. He sang a few songs. Book writer.

Book writer. He did a few things. He's one of those. reasons I'm glad we he death has no authority because I'm going to hang out with him original what three guys that was in a fishing boat that come up with uh a lot of stuff the school the school of biblical preaching yeah biblical bifr camp out with their people don't know that uh even jace graduated from that school of preaching i went there i went there for the mayor too you went to the school of biblical studies and i ended up in abling christian

Christian. Did you, do you have a theological degree? Yes, I do. Look at you. I didn't know that. But see, the school, the school of biblical studies closed down six months before I graduated. So I went to Abilene Christian.

Finish it up. And finished out of ACU. Oh, I think we've told the story about Al and his friends. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think we've told that story a few times. Well, yeah. We tend to do that.

There's something that. It's not told... It's an episode 101. We run some things back, people. Here's something we may not have told about old Jason Robertson, though. My namesake? Your namesake? Oh, yeah.

In high school, Jason's always been a godly man. Yep, yep. Okay, but in high school, he said, okay, hey, I think it was after he was baptized. Yeah. He went on a missionary trip with his classmates. domestic.

No, no, I'm just saying, hey, he went on a personal evangelist trip for him. And, hey, he preached the gospel to every classmate. I think that's one of the reasons why Philip's sitting right here. Yeah, that's true. Weren't you the pool hustler? No, I went with him into the pool hall. They had a guy. McIntosh.

Oh, yeah. No, no, I'm serious. They went on because, you know, he would go and teach somebody, okay, and baptize him. and then he would join the group. So, hey, they went on, I'm talking about that personal. Oh, yeah, it was like a hundred people. Yeah. Yeah.

So my favorite story about Macmillan is Willie, well, Willie tells the story of the first time he ever laid eyes on driving down the road. Some guy with an afro. And a hundred dollar bill turned and looked and he fanned out about 10 hindoos. They started doing this. Fanned yourself with hondo. Sa, you've seen it before.

That's a real Philip McMillan move. But I always thought that was so cool. Oh, yeah. It really was. Oh, yeah. You know, that he took the time out of his life for every one of his classmates. Let me tell you something. Here's something important that you need to hear.

That's bold at that age. It really is. And I'll tell you this, if you haven't read his book, Good Call, you should read it. It is one of the best books I've ever read. But a lot of those stories, Sire, are in there. Oh, no. A lot of those stories are in there. Oh, no.

Hey, as much as we have and as much as we argue, hey, I do love you there. Yeah. One day we're going to have him on here, and I'm just going to sit here and watch. Not worth it. You ain't going to be here. I'm out, and on that note, I ain't going to be here after. Well, I will be here after this break. Can we go get in that hello at duck call room?

Hello. And I've got the easiest Bible verse. We think to see what their fans have been up to you. Bible verse has already been set up, so stay tuned for that too. Commercial. Hey, and I bet you money it's got something due with authority. Hey, Johnny D. You got anything in the mail box?

You know me. You know me. I actually, I woke up this morning. The first thing I did was go through all the emails, and there was some good ones. Uh-oh. We have some good emails. Oh. So I don't even know.

Good. It's a bad time y'all got on the ball. We have some good ones. So I'm just going to say. Start from the latest one. Tristan from Minnesota. Minnesota. We've been there,

Saip. Philip was there too. Yeah. Hey, I don't know my bucket list. Okay. Ice fishing. Nope. Okay.

Sledding. It's been done. It's been, hey, that has been deleted from my bucket list. It was negative. This is one time only, boys. Negative 22 degrees. And people are going out on the lake with brand new. Chevrolet pickup truck four-wheel drive

with street tires on. That's it. Driving out on the lake. And it's already two foot deep on the lake. And then turn it on a heater. Yeah. I mean, we would have froze death, though, without that heater. I ain't doing it.

I'm staying here. What's Kristen got to say? Tristan. Tristan, from Minnesota. He says a lot of nice things about you, Si, and about the rest of us. But he would like some advice on how she, he should talk to his girlfriend's father about marrying

his daughter. Oh, man. So, but here's, there's a twist. Keep in mind, he's also my boss. Oh. Okay, wait. But they have a great relationship. Now. So he's been dating his boss's daughter. On the down low. Yeah. I don't think

it's on the down low. Oh. No, he doesn't, it's on. I think it's on the up and up. Uh, but now he wants to go to his boss slash future father-in-law. and ask if it's cool. First of all, we need to know if this fellow here is bona fide. You have a job, are you secure?

He's got a job working for his father-in-law. Okay, well, if that's the case, and I would say this, be as respectful as you can possibly be. And if your father-in-law likes you already, I don't think you have a thing to worry about. Just go up and ask him and say, and he's going to know what you're going to ask him before you ever get to him. Oh, he knows.

He knows. I mean, there's a vibe that goes off there because when I did it with Al, I mean, he knew. My father-in-law literally said, well, we've been wondering when you were going to talk to us. I was like, oops. I thought I was going too fast, so glad to know you were proven. The funny thing is, you know, both Willie and Jace, both of their father-in-law said, no. But they married them anyway. That's true.

So, and now, you know, it worked out. It worked out pretty good. Pretty good. You know. Oh, no. Willie went to my uncle Johnny and Johnny gave him all the reasons they shouldn't. Yeah. And then he went to Phil and Phil said, hey, run up to Arkansas.

You only got to be 16 there. You don't need her dad's permission. That was Phil's advice. No, but just be very respectful and make sure he understands how much you love and care for his daughter and that you will do everything in your power to get her to heaven one day and there's no way he's going to tell you know unless you're you're making minimum wage have a career plan checklist size of stones advice just have a career plan this yeah well stone just hit me what he said oh yeah and by the way if he says no just say well because

because of the money. So, well, hey, you're the boss. Give me more money. Yeah, give me a raise. Give me a raise. I want to talk to you. I love your daughter. I'm going to marry you.

I want to talk to you about two things. Right. No, what they said is good. Okay. Yeah. Most of all, like you said, Stone said, be respectful and say, hey, look, I love you're a daughter. Okay. And I'm asking you, will you give the permission for me to marry her?

That's it. That's it. Sounds good. Phil's in. Yeah, you'll be all right. You'll be fine. Oh, you'll be all right. Next.

All right. I got Josh from Mountain Home, Arkansas. Oh, I've been there. Beautiful place. Beautiful place. Where? Mountain Home Arkansas. Mountain Home Arkansas.

That's in North Arkansas. I like North Arkansas now. But he's currently in Dallas, which I would normally say, but he's getting his masters at Dallas Theological Seminary. Oh, yeah. So I say, good for you. Josh. Um, so he has a question about fishing. That one's not important. I want to get to the heavy question.

Wait a minute. What's the fishing? We got stone right here. The right-handed person, left-handed, retrieved bait-cast rod. No, right. No, not bait-cast, spin-cast. No, he wants everything on the left. Well, not a bait-cast. If you're right-handed, bait-cast needs to handle needs to be on the right. See, he disagrees. Spend-cast on the left. See, Josh, I was trying not to embarrass you, but you're wrong. Uh, anyway, so I had to do. Well, the way to do it is you look at the best fisherman there is on the pro circuit. Oh, Martin's buddy, old Wheeler, he's the best. There's no doubt where he's right-handed and his baitcaster has a handle on the right.

And his spin cast has a handle on the left. There you go. Well, for most people, if you're right-in, you throw right-handed, so you're going to reel left. Yeah. but on the bait casting throw right-handed real right-handed that's right while we're stuck on fishing by the way

my five-year-old I was fishing with him the other day he's never caught a fished I saw you down there at Willie's Pond we didn't catch anything there but at my dad's Pond I hit you know you catch it for them they reel it in yeah

but he's trying to learn how to cast that's going terribly and I'm over there fishing and I look over and he's just got a bass on the bank and he did it all on it so it's his first fish ever one Honda solo. I bet he was fired. Oh, he was.

Cast, real. And he goes, I got a fish. I was like, probably just grass. And I look over and there's just a fish getting drugged through the mud. And I was like, yes. We got fired up. All right, anyway, so serious question from Mountain Home, Arkansas. Josh, it's a tough one.

He says, it's in regard to if any of you have lost someone you love, but you are unsure. if they have gone to heaven, which is a very tough question. And his is personally, talking about seven years ago, he lost his dad at a young age,

which is terrible. He says his parents were Christians, but he just doesn't really remember how Christian, I guess, is kind of his thoughts there. I'll take the lead on this one. Yeah, I like the man who went to the seminary, taking the lead.

God's grace is so much greater than any of us understand. His grace is greater than my misunderstandings. And you're not in and out and in and out and in and out. Every time you do something wrong or say something, you're out, now you're back in. So you're covered. You're covered, and the tenor of your life is toward pleasing God

and making Jesus your Lord. And then there's grace, you know. So I would not worry about that. I would let God do all the worrying and everything else, and just trust that he's way greater than what your understanding is. That's a good answer, Phil. It is good because like you're saying, okay, you know, he knows, God knows your heart, number one.

Okay, and if he knows your heart, there's nothing else to say. That's it. That's it. And I would even say we are all God's children, and Josh, you probably, you're young, you probably don't have children yet, but when you do have them you realize

what all you would do for this human that you're responsible for and God gave them to us and the grace you would give your children I would give my kids so much grace it's silly and probably almost to a fault sometimes

and that's nothing compared to the grace that God gives us that's right and wait until them kids get to be a teenager yeah and I'm wanting to choke slam them Stone's eyes just got big. So yeah,

the important thing to remember is we're not in charge of figuring out who goes to heaven and we got, well, as Phil put it so perfectly, grace that we can't even comprehend,

understand, covering me, covering everybody I love. You know, and yes, you do have to believe, but it sounds like your dad said he was a Christian.

I like it. I like his chances. Yeah. Because the Lord says his grace covers all. All right, hey, you ready for a Bible verse? Yep. I got one, I think you a lot.

Because you already mentioned it from Alan Kellett's lesson yesterday over at WFR, Matthew 28, 18. Then Jesus came to them and said, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I'm with you always to the very end of the age. Amen. And we'll be with you next week here. We got out.

That's pretty good looking tics there. Love it.
