They're not dangerous. Yeah, they are. They eat people, babies, and dogs. In that order. In that order. They start with the people, then they eat your babies. Then they'll eat five. Hey, is this your pit?

Chon, chom, chom. So, Cy, what made you decide to walk in today after 75 years on this planet? You just found out alligators are dangerous creatures? Well, I was looking at the magazine with Willie's picture on it, and I read about alligators. Put your mic. Fix your mic. We're just getting started. Get to mic.

Okay. Nope. I was looking at that magazine with Woody's picture on it. And you skipped a little bit about him. Then I had some alligators in there. Then he went to the interesting part. Hey, I didn't know they was as dangerous as they are. What?

Yeah. Oh, they'll get you. And look, no, no. Did you never watch the car? I know that ain't alligators, but they're cousins. Well, I should have knew, okay, because that's one of the prehistoric dinosaurs. If he's made it that long, he's pretty good at what he does. I can tell you that I'm deathly afraid of alligators.

I can confirm nowhere near it. Having taken Philip alligator hunting, I can confirm this. Well, no, no, because only the big ones are really dangerous. the old the old big ones yeah okay because if they're you know they get like kind of fits what eight feet normally normally a big one is eight feet long

I'm not pretty good size but they get way bigger when they get older yeah and they're dangerous for them because hey look if your kids swimming or your dog swimming in a pond and there's a gator lives there hey it's dinner time and they're fast now can't they run fast on the ground too I'm not afraid of an alligator on land, but I'm not entering the water with one.

Well, then you ain't getting in no water around here that is a swimming pool. That's true. I do. Because if you do, you end the water with them. You know, it's funny we're talking about this. You know what Carter told me last night. Uh-oh. Alligator on the playground at school.

For real? For real. Oh, a little guy took off walking. Oh, yeah. That's cool. Yeah, because he goes out there by Black Bayou. All the kids are out on the playground And all of a sudden they see something moving over there

And there is an alligator on the recess playground Yeah, guarantee you that's a little male That's a little male that got tired of getting his butt-look I got a story about that Okay, look Here it goes A kid from up north Okay

I was at when I was an army That's cool My E5 under me Okay, here's brother comes to town They're from north Okay so we go fishing and we're fishing in a lake in South Louisiana, which is full of gators, okay.

So look, we put in the boat, you know, on the creek, and I'm paddling to go to the fishing hole. Well, I come around the bin, there's one about six foot long. And I said, hey, don't make a sound. I'm going to catch you, that's about $200. Yeah, well, it secured him. He bade noise and the gator went under. You know, come right again on the next one, right?

Okay, this one's about eight foot. long, big one. I said, hey, this one is big money. Big money. Do not make any noise. Well, he made noise. Yeah, he's scared. No, no, he is. So look, we're fishing all day and we're drinking beer. Okay. The fear's leaving. No, no. No, look. They're getting brave. Look, we're using shiner, so I always stole a handfuls of ice in the shiner, but keep them live. Well, this water's ice cold, so he got the last shiner, and I'm fishing, and I ain't paying no attention. He empties that ice water on me. And I said, I'm going to get you for that.

I'll get you. So like I said, we was drinking beer, and he had had about a six-pack, so he had to take a leak. Look, he's got overalls on. No shirt. Okay. Familiar. Look, so he's on the back of the boat taking a leak. Well, I just take my foot just in the water he goes.

Look here. He's done seeing three alligators, okay? This kid is head first in the water. He got him. The next thing I don't, no, no, the next time I know, he's standing in the boat in front of me, and I'm doing this. He ain't even wet. He went head first in the lake and didn't even get wet. He literally walked on water and got back in the boat.

Scared him that back. Oh, no, his eyes, look, his eyes was that being around. I generally have a way different experience when I drink beer. But, hey, I couldn't believe it. Look, his coveralls or his skin wasn't even damp. I could not believe he did not get wet. He went in the lake and was back in the boat. He just lats onto the side of the boat.

Just because of that, not like that right there. That ain't even a big one. That's a little guy. You have fun with him. Carter was excited to see it. Yeah, they're fun. I mean, one of the places we duck on, it's got a lot of alligators in it. Does it?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You want to go, Phil? No, no. I don't want to talk about it. I'm talking about some bigwitz. Yeah. Y'all ain't telling me nothing.

We got some grown ones in that one. Because I guarantee you, I was walking the bank at a circle of water. It's about as big as both of these tables. Just cool. The first time I took Gobwin there, I dropped him off by an alligator pole. I said, yeah, just duck out right here. It'd be all right. A piece of bamboo with a big old hook hanging from it out there.

He said, I know what that is. I said, I know you did. It'd be all right. He ain't here. Obviously, otherwise he'd be on the hook. He'd be on it. But it was, no, they're one of them deals that just... Martin, you would have got kicked out of school

because you would have been the kid that walked up to it. Absolutely. Here's the thing. I went and petted him. Hey, here's the thing that impressed me about the... You can believe that. Look here, we're in the boat with a 20-horse marker on it, looming the boat. And it's about three of us in there, and Phil's got it wide open.

We're chasing a big one. Big gator? Yeah, he's about 10 foot long. Look, here comes a Buddenbrook thicket. Okay, that gator, hey. he ain't never slacked up just to it. Oh, yeah, he can make it through that. Well, if he can do it, I can do it.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong again. Wrong. Wrong. Look here. Hey, boom. All of us go after boat at the front.

You know, just, and hey, that gator parted that junk like it wasn't even nothing. Yeah. They're cool. Bush done this and went back. Now, I will say, they involve a certain amount of respect. If you fool around, they can hurt you. Yeah. For sure.

They're not to be played with. Not to be played with. Not to be fed, not to be held captive. Like, they're not, they're not that deal. But they're a fun little animal. Oh, no, no. Me and Josh got South Louisiana. Yeah.

We go to a restaurant. Okay, so you're driving in, you're driving in by all these canals. You're in an airboat? No, no, in the truck. Oh, oh. We're driving along, and here's all these canals, okay? Well, we just caught, like 40 or 50 trout. Mm-hmm.

So Josh filated them, and he just kept the carcasses, and guess what? we go up and start throwing them in the pond and sons you ain't you walk up and look and there's nothing at first carcass hits the water and then you see little bumps coming up in the in the moss and here they come yeah i mean just hey all sizes y'all then the big boy comes out and everybody left all the little ones yeah like what why do you have a fear did somebody do what side did to you, like, scare you with them? No, I think it was probably when I was young and went to the zoo, and I saw the alligators, and I was scared of them.

And, I mean, just from fishing. You got scared animals at the zoo? The alligators? What zoo was this? Joe Exotics? No, the local zoo. I just don't like alligators. I mean, so I don't like snakes.

No. That zoo got them big old tarantulas in it. I ain't about that life. I mean, but you're at the zoo. I know, but, like, he, spiders are sneaky man them make old rascals get out of there I ain't about spiders me and them

we don't we don't jahawk I mean I'm not like hey let's go look at the spiders and snakes zoo and like right now you know it's bow season right of an animal at the zoo right now is a worst time of year to deer hunt oh no because you're going because it just opened yep but in every trail in the woods there's at least 57 spiders across it and you walk face first in them in the dart and

you know he ain't going to hurt you But man, just that feeling of that big rascal. Well, some of them will. Yeah, some of them will. But most of what you're going to walk into right now are just big, vile, nasty-looking banana spiders. Yeah, they're all bad looking. See, that don't bother me.

I can have cobwebs in my face. I don't like that. But the purple-tail wasp and the alligators and snakes, nope. Oh, I had a was come attack me the other day on a deer stand. I'm sitting up by myself. Did he pop? No, he got dope pop. but he come in

he told me she was in violence and I just I took my hat off and I showed him violence like Al being on that way street there yeah I was up there

minding my own business there wasn't no waltz mess wasn't no nothing he'd come up there wanting to stare in my eyes I was like that ain't gonna work ain't gonna work have we

Wop Hammer yeah I'm at him that's funny well that is yeah I mean alligators

they can they can mess you up but I mean not if you treat them with respect that's one of them you're not messed up till they've latched on and start spinning. Now, if you, if you fooling around, y'all's talking about, like, wanting to be on the bank with them.

Now, see, you go during nesting season and you get around to nest with a mama. Yeah. See, I heard they can run like 35 miles and hours. I'll just tell you right now. You would be, you would be bit before you knew she was there. You'd just be like, what's that sound what? Yeah. But that's just her doing what the good Lord put into.

She's taking care of her little one. I mean, you do, Brittany do the same thing to you right now. You go mess with our little ones. I'm sure Allison do the same thing. You mess with y'all's kids. I mean, I didn't know this. I didn't know this. On our Dunk Commander Tiel season video this year,

opening morning, till season, there was an alligator in the pit blind we hunted. Had no idea until we got in there with us. He's a little guy. I blew a four-footer. I mean, he was crawling around in the blind with us in the dark. So how'd you get him out? Reach down there and grabbed him?

Nope. The best one was, hey, Ben, look. Rished down and grabbed him behind the head and threw him out into decoys. Ben, Stone, go down to Josh, you go south Louisiana hunt teal with us. They got a lot of gators. Okay, so look, Jason goes with us one year.

And Jason says, hey, you know, a bunch of teal jumped off. They're going to the blind. Buncheil jumped up. And Jason, let's hold here. And John said, well, I got a better place right now. He said, well, hey, you just got 50 else. So John said, okay. So look, here comes a bunch of teal.

They come in. They kill four of them. You know? And Josh starts laughing. And Jason says, what's the first? funny. He said, I'll just give him a minute. You see. So the tail are out there flopping, y'all, and hey, you see a little ripple coming. You know? Yeah. And no. Hey, first thing you do, now look, there

there ain't an aluminum boat that you just pull in between cane for the blind. Okay. The gator comes up and puts his head on the boat and looks at all of them. And then it slides off. Our Canadian friend is going, no, no, no, look. Hey, we had alligators on the playground yesterday. No, no. Hey, he swims out there and he looks back at him.

East the first one. Turns around and comes back, puts on his fish, look, that I begin. And then he goes east to five they kill. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we got it on video. I saw one of our tail hunting videos from down there, yeah. Yeah.

You know, and Jason, Josh said, hey, that's the reason I didn't want to hunt here. he said because when he hears that boom boom boom boom boom he said dinner the dinner bell has been run yeah no i ain't fighting for that bird well let's take a break we'll be back right after this 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 tritails 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 them. 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. Stakes are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic.

So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Trial's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat either, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. You've been through the rear. And look, and I'm supposed to be taking care of size.

Yeah. You're going to be taking care of me. When we go to the airport, I'm going to say, Can we get two wheelchairs over here? So what's your latest calamity? Last time you thought you were dying and had gas. Are we rolling? Yeah, we're rolling.

I don't want to talk about all my calamities. That's, we all do. Right. It's part of the contract that we sign. I think it's part of, I think it's part of our niche is that we will talk about the crap that happens in our lives. So when me and Si, when me and Si were out of town on one of the events on the way back, I told Sao's like, my feet are hurting, you know. It ends up, it was gout and one of my feet, probably both, I don't know. Anyway, so it's very painful.

You got a bad case of a gout? You're too young to be having gout. I'm 53. I don't know what you're not. I had it 10 years ago. I'm shocked. I had gout pre-30. I've never had the gout.

Now, there is a genetic component to it, and my dad also had it. What is the gout for those of us uneducated? Your kidneys don't filter your... Uric acid. Yeah, your kidneys don't filter your blood properly, so you have like a too much uric acid. And your blood? Well, it'll go to a joint. It goes to where, like, blood flow...

Crystallizes. Blood flow switches, and it'll kind of just gather there and crystallize, and it. And it legitimately feels like little shards of like glass. Yeah, like needles. In your joints. Yeah, it's like excruciating, I'm telling you. And that's happening in your feet right now? Yeah.

Yeah. It's rough. It's worse. Fun, ain't it? Yes. Yeah. I don't even want a sheet. I don't even want a sheet put on my feet because it hurts so bad.

You have to sleep with that foot outside of any cover. Like, it's just got to be there. You have shoes on, though. Shoes help mine. Yeah. Well, I mean, not while I'm sleeping. That would make sense because he said, hey, your toes got a fever. Yeah.

Yeah. If it's hot, yeah, you want it out for us, you know, get the wind. But what's wild is the weight of that sheet hurts it so bad. Yeah. The weight of a sheet? Yes. I'm telling you. It's crazy, man.

Do not. I just don't look. You can roll your eyes. I'm not rolling my eyes. I've slept by myself for two nights because I didn't want nobody around. My wife was like, you want me? I was like, nope. I'm going to sleep in the bed by myself.

No sheets. Yeah. Don't turn the fan on. I don't even want the air coming down. But I beat it. Now, mine was partly because I weighed like 315 pounds at the time. Wade ain't good for.

You beat the guy. Wade is not good. We should get you a T-shirt. I was on medicine. I was on daily medicine and then I swapped and made some changes in my life. I quit drinking sodas, quit drinking beer. Well,

just think about the citric acid in the soda. Yeah. Well, I don't know if it's exactly that. But there are some things that you shouldn't eat, you know, red meat, shell food. Shellfish, yeah. Shellfish? Like, anything is high in curing. That's 48, don't it?

Yeah. We ate shellfish and steaks every day we were there. Yeah. And it was good. I can't wait to go back. But I don't want to go back home. So what about this more? Start drinking water now.

Because if you drink the water, you'll force your kidneys to flush it. So, like, just stay extremely hydrated. So do you... Is that why you drink more water than anybody I know? Probably. Yeah. Yeah, I'm paranoid about getting it. That's how bad it. Oh, it's that, it is that bad. When you're on the medicine, you don't get it. But I just don't want to be on daily medicine. I do not want to be on a daily prescription. On you, can it flare back up? I've had one other time that since I got off of it, that it flared up. And I went fishing one day. And it was like during the spring. So it's one of those cool days where I didn't drink water because I wasn't hot. I wasn't thirsty. I wouldn't think. and I got extremely dehydrated.

And so, therefore, all my, you know, when you get dehydrate, your blood gets a little thicker. So it dumped a bunch of it at my left big toe. And I said, never again. Never again. So I'm at. When I go fishing during the spring, I'll set reminders on my phone that say drink water. And I'll go back there to my cooler and give me a bottle of water and drink it. Because you're not hot.

You're not really, you're fishing. You're not. You're active, but you're not doing anything to make you thirsty. But during the summer, that's not a problem because it's hot. But when it's nice during the spring, you can get dehydrated so fast to make your head spin. But yeah, no, it's... So when we were leaving... They'll probably put you on allopurinol for a little while, get your urac acid down, and then see if you can get off of it.

Biology. When we were leaving the airport, we had an 80-pound lady, and I had to get her to push side because I couldn't do it. I couldn't walk on my foot. And then they were gone so fast. I couldn't keep up. I was just like, I have to meet up. He's got a gout story. You do? Remember a lunchbox?

But that's what you didn't know nothing about it then either. And then when I come in with, you're like, it really hurts that bad. I was like, yeah. Yeah, lunchbox. Lunchbox had it whenever he was working here. Who is that? Lunchbox? He worked here for a long time.

I love lunchbox death. But he came in and he just looked so sad. And he walked into Willie's office and me and we're sitting there. We're having time of our life because, you know, we weren't really working. We were just hanging out being friends. That was my job. and lunchbox comes in and we're like Willie goes

Hey man Why are you so down Because I mean Dude was just sad And we didn't know He had the gout Or what was that And he goes

And he looked normal You know He looked like Lunchbox always looked And he's like Oh man So much pain Just in a lot of

He goes He goes I'm just in a lot of pain And it was so bizarre That me and Willie Just started laughing Because we're like Oh hey

We'll all get through it together We didn't know. And he just kind of, and he worked in the warehouse, so he's walking everywhere all day. Hobbling. Oh, yeah. So he was legitimately in a lot of pain, but the way he went about telling us was kind of funny. But I have the same way to see, my dad had it. And he would always talk about it and like, you know, my toe hurt.

And he's just like bent over in pain. I'm like, from your toe? Yeah, get over. As a kid, I'm like, man, you're making this up. That's what happened. That's why you got it. You're like sympathy. You're looking for some sympathy.

No. Until I got it. And I said, no, this ain't, this ain't nothing to be trifled with here. That's why when I went and met with a doctor, I was like, how do I get rid of this? This is not, this is a no-fly zone here. And she said, well, you can do it. You just got to figure out what your triggers are and figure out, you know. She said, and you will, and you'll avoid it.

And you'll get off medicine probably. She said, most people just are not willing to make the lifestyle changes that it takes to do it. And I was like, yeah, okay. She started telling me, cut out Cokes, cut out. Yeah, but that's just sheer stupidity. Oh, yeah. Because it's painful as that junk is. That's stupidity.

And I can drink Coca-Cola's and Dr. Pepper's like people drink beer. I mean, I can drink him suckers one right after another. Look, I like them. Yeah. Don't hear me saying I don't like, I just don't do it. I'm like, nope. Nope. I'm avoiding that.

It ain't worth the pain. No, it's not. No, no, not at all. I just know it's bad. It sucks. Yeah. On a scale to 1 to 10, you know how they ask you, what's your pain? Where are you feeling the pain of 1 to 10?

I'm like, yeah, 12. It's crazy. 12. It's bad. Yeah. 12's like your arms falling off. That's it. Well, then 13.

You would just as soon cut your toe off. Let me just go ahead and tell you. It's that bad. I asked her, I was like, can we just cut the toe off? Yeah. Like, do I need my big toe? Yeah. Coach Prime.

Really? I don't think I can have no use for it. But she told me, she said, well, if you cut it off, just going to go somewhere else. I said, well, never mind we ain't. Let's keep my toe. Let's keep it. I need 10 of them. Let's. Did you imagine? Feel off balance without a big toe. Yeah, but

it hurts so bad, I was willing to lop it off. Like, hey, take a pair of loppers to it and let's get this over with. Like, it's, it's wild how bad it hurt. Because if you look and if you show it to somebody, they're like, well, it's just a little red. Yeah. They look at it's like, well, it's just a little red.

I didn't know what it was. I was telling size, something's wrong with my feet. Yeah. He was like, yep. Yep. Yeah.

That's like somebody was a toothache. Yeah. Yeah. You can't tell him. Oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah,

that's bad. Yeah. That's crazy. That's like that guy on the boat when we went fishing and the pilot got seasick. Uh-oh. He was out there for four days. And he was seasick?

And he was there with us. And he was sick all the time. No, you ought to take me back. No, no. No, no. I said, hey,

kill me. Shoot me right now. Throw me over. It was that bad. Oh, me in the ocean. Yeah. Hey. Yeah.

These are miserable stories. But look, everybody goes through. I mean, there's something like that for everybody. The lunch lady in that Adam Sandler song had the gout. That's where I learned about. I wear these brown orthopedic shoes because I got a bad case of that gout. And you just can't say, well, you know, I feel for you. No, you don't.

Shocker con. No, it hurts. Yeah. You don't feel for me. Yeah, whenever, because me and Brittany had just, I don't know if we were married or just started dating or what, but she was like, your toe hurts that bad? I'm like, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. And then one day, like, I remember what had happened, and she stepped on it one day. Not unintentionally. Were you rude? Was I rude? I pushed her.

I can see that. I went back hands inside offensive linemen. Like, like, back up, Jack. Martin went into passing. Like, like, I can steer you from here. like you know you're protecting that and she apologized i mean you know she didn't obviously was unintentional she weighed 130 pounds soaking wet so it wasn't like you know but it is

it's crazy how bad one little joint can can can hurt of course we are men and we're kind of pansies in the grand scheme of things but it it still hurts that doesn't diminish the fact that it does hurt men make the worst patience i guarantee you we don't i'm a pansy so you were the worst patient when we were in Houston. I've been sitting here trying to figure out if I could shove the end of that knife in my ear and get that fluid to drain out. That's driving me nuts right now. The funny thing about Cy being a patient, and he couldn't get out of the bed for how long was it, 24 hours?

No. I had to lay there for four days. Three days. Three days. Three days. Three days. Anyway, here's the problem with side. That ought to be what you thrive at.

They brought in the little things for him to go to the restroom and so he could, you know, pee in these little urinals, whatever they call it. Oh, yeah, a little jug. Yeah. They're called tea jugs. Well, he's got about six of them lined up full. And I'm like, where is this coming from? And look, the nurses quit.

They were just like, tell your buddy there, he can take. Take care of it. So that became my job. I said, sigh, he said, I got to go again. I was like, no. He was like, and give me some more tea while you're up. What's up? He'll never have the gas.

You held the job? You held the job? No, I didn't hold the jug. No. No. If it has to do with your kidneys messing up? But I did have to go pour it out. Oh, that ain't nothing.

Sa will never have the gout. No. No. His kidneys work. That's the last thing standing is his kidneys. I'm functioning. I'll tell you right now, New Orleans would never flood again if they made the pumps like it. It's unbelievable.

Anyway, let's take a break. We'll be back right after this. Suh. What was this? You went on the show with, who is the Chad? Chad? Yeah. It's Stone's friend

I'm going to connect with the animal. I'm just going to look at it on the wall of my living room. I want to connect with it with a backstrap. Yeah. Got about a quarter inch thick and fired. Yeah. As soon as he gets to the house. Yeah.

I try to get him cut up. Now, hard is actually really good, too. Oh, yeah. Deer Hart. Yeah, it's fantastic. What are we doing? No, it's not. It really is. You just call it fantastic.

It really is. Reese's peanut butter cups are fantastic. Here's the thing about the gizzards. What are we doing? No, no, look, you chop the gizzards up after you clean it, cook it properly. Yeah, get silver skin off. And then put it in with the gravy. Okay.

Put on your rice. Yeah, or make dirty rice. Or make it. Like when you make a dirty rice, that's part of the meat. Cy was cooking squirrels the other day. I went to his house, and all I could see is. his little heads bobbing up and down. I said,

sorry, he kept hitting them with that spoon. He said, I'm going to eat them brains. Oh, they were bubbling in the gravy. That's a lie. That's a lie.

He's telling them, hey, first time I do when I kill them a squirrel, shoot him in the head anyway, he was 22. Cut his head off? He cut his head off. I only eat the legs,

the back. That's it. See, that's what part of all animals we should eat. And it was good. That's what I don't get. We're talking about chicken hearts and deer hearts. That,

like I understand, And if we're, if hard times come our way, we can do it. Oh, no, no. If you was raised with my grandma, you clean that squirrel all the way to his nose, buddy. Oh, yeah. Well, no, no. I'm talking about. Oh, yeah.

No, no, because look, okay. But, hey, you know, a lot of people, when he said about the heads of him. That's true. That was, no, no, that was somebody he knows that done that. Okay. It's probably your brother. You know, no. No, no.

No, Kay's the brain eater. No, Kay's the brain eater. Yeah. Okay. You know, she's always mad at me because I choose squirrel in the head. Amy? Mark your head.

Manma used to... There ain't no head. I blow it off. Mamma used to whatever we'd put up, squirrels, like if we killed too many, she's going to freeze some. If they were old, she left the eyeballs in them.

Yeah. And if they were young, she popped them out. That way, when she knew when she went to the freezer, these are for frying and these are for like dumplings. Squirrels of dumplings.

I said, Mamma, why don't you just write on the bag young and old? Like, we got sharpies. Yeah, why we got a, but she wasn't sacrificing them heads. No, no, no. Hey. That head was going to be in everything.

Oh, yeah. I guess the weirdest thing my family did was, like, fight over fish tails. We ate them too, no. Because we're going to eat them. But, I mean, everything else is just a better solution. Yeah. Well, hey, that's just the difference in times of how they grew up. A lot of people, hey, it's different things because I know people that actually freeze their brim.

Whole. Oh, guts and all. Really? They just stole them in the freezer, and then when they get ready to cook them, then they clean them and fire them. Yeah, they'll scale them. That ain't, no, that ain't for me.

No, go and get them guts, either. Yeah, I got, mine's got to be clean and put in, you know. Freezing their brim alive? But, Sa, will you eat the frozen fish? Huh? I would rather have it fresh. Yeah. I don't, I normally don't keep them, okay.

I used to. Why is it that the Robertsons, they don't like? You can eat any kind of frozen fish. It's better if it's just caught and clean. We're fish snobs. The best thing. I'm not a Robertson. Are you that way, too?

I'm a fish snob. Well, no, no, because, hey. Well, your dad owns a tackle store. Look, I would rather. I've been a fish snob since before that. I would rather have, we build a fire before we go fishing. Okay. Have the pans and all the ingredients.

Go catch the fish soon and you get back, just fill them up. And then the next thing. Sound different. I like them sit on ice on ice. That sounds good. No. Oh, yeah. Like, I like them to take an ice bath.

Yeah. And then let's go eat him. Like, I don't... There's something about just doing it on the lake. Yeah, fine. Well, generally because you're real hungry, too. Well, that's true. Because you've been out there all day.

And you ran out of Vienna's a long time ago. But like catfish from a grocery store? No, gar. Uh-uh. No, you ain't going to catch me buying no fish. So that bill fish, we caught in Hawaii. We caught it that day. We ate it that night.

And it was delicious. Oh, yeah. It was a spearfish. Spear fish, yeah. It's in the Marlin family. Yeah. But it's just smaller. No, but he was pretty, and they said it was good.

I didn't need you. He laid the eyes in him? No. No, they took one eye out. Well, there's them boys or whatever that do that with like swordfish whenever you catch one and kill it. They like drink the stuff out of the eyeball or something. Why are people weird? That's terrible.

That's what it gives you gout. It's about, you know, who's a man? Leftover food. Yeah. I'm a boy. I'm a young. I'm a youngster. I like backstraps.

I like thighs. I like. I like legs. Captain Dees. Captain Dees ain't bad. I'm going to be honest, everybody. He eats it, Captain Dees. Farm raised frozen catfish, gar.

Captain Dees, it's a great little seafood place. Wild called Alaska a white fish. Yeah. Whatever that is, I don't know what it is. That's not that bad. It's like what, the halibut. Maybe. Yeah, you ain't eating that.

They say the halibate. Cheeks. The cheeks. I ate them in Alaska with a halibates. There you go. Cheatlechle. There you go. I could go a long thing about.

fish. You know who's fish not quite that bad? Arby's. Arby's. Kind of weird. My kid wanted it. Really? He said it was good. I don't know about Arby's. I'm ashamed of it, but I'm being honest. Hey, well, hey. You ate Arby's fish. Well, I did not. Oh. My son had some and he was like, this is awesome. And I was like, you're really, you're really doing damage to the family name, son. Let me try it. And I was like, it ain't bad. Okay. Arbys? Yeah, ain't bad. I don't know what you got here. Hey, anybody that's got to, we got the meat.

Hey, they got to be good. You better have decent fish. That's right. Hey. It was weird. There you go. I'm not too prideful to say it. But now, there are things I don't like it.

I'm a fish snob who likes Captain D's and Arby's. We should take a break. Yeah, let's do that. We'll be back right after this. Brittany will smash a filet fish like it ain't nobody's business. With like extra tartar. I mean, look at me. I'll eat anything.

You know who else does that? My mom. My mom love a filetal fish. That nasty. But I'll say this, we had a fish fry one time, and they bought it fresh. You don't have to record this. No, but we may want to use it. Okay.

But we bought it from Super Bowl. It was fresh, never frozen farm-raised catfish, and there's a huge difference in that. But it still wasn't great. Did it say fresh, never frozen? No, the only farm-raised catfish, I'm going to eat the catfish, Charlie. Because it's real good, real, real, fresh. Well, because they figured it out. They take it and cut it in half and then fry.

And then they cut that one in half again? Yeah, and it's like a fish chip. Oh, it's so good. And it's good. They get rid of all the mud and the funk taste too. And they got the best cheese sticks. So have you ever eaten a mud cat? No.

Never. Like a polywog? Nope. I've had fun catching them. Because I heard you could cut them and bleed them and they wouldn't taste so bad. Why don't you just throw him back and catch something better? See? There's plenty of things.

I mean, you catch one in mud cats. throw it back and then you get you a channel cat okay and then you yeah or put a hook through him and see what eats him that's right or see what eat him right best eating is off oh yeah yeah flathead's good yeah yeah you know it's real good belly meat what if you take that op and my dad will get get them and then he'll cut them into tiny tiny pieces and make nuggets nuggets oh yeah fish nuggets that's why phil does the belly meat he cuts them in little strips like yeah and if you know which ones are the filets and he cut in strips and then you You got the powers in the choosing. Like you just look, you're like, oh yeah, that's that belly right there.

Let me get it. But Phil always got it hidden. It ain't ever on top. It curls like a pig's tail. Yeah. That's how thin he cuts it. You look for the little curly cues. By nose.

It's so good. Oh, no, hey, look here. He hides them. Phil hides them. Oh, he does. Yeah. When I started working down there and we had fish day, I was like, man, I don't get what this flat-haired catfish all about.

I mean, he's a height, but he ain't great. And then I got to see him where Phil was digging from that pie. Yeah. Tell her, where's he getting? So then I started digging where Phil was digging. I said, oh, I get it now. That's a family trait. I understand.

Okay. Family trade. Pile it up with distractions. If you got a little side pot over here. Like, okay. That was like deer meat. They always wondered why when I cut it up why it was better. I don't cut it thick.

No, so I can read the newspaper. Mine is like a quarter inch thick. If that. If that. If that. up a little bit better than most people. Plus, I cut all the sine you, all that junk. When you eat what I clean, it's deer meat.

It ain't no sine you. It ain't no other. We got that thing about it. The end is made the bowstring out of sine you. Yeah, that's tough. And we're eating it. And we're eating it. And that's why you're sitting down going,

cowboy bubble gun. The thief stuff is chewy. Boy, it's right. Hey, well, cut it off, dummy. Yeah, that's silver. Throw away. That silver can stick with you for a while. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you chill enough from here to Sunday. Yeah. Oh, and it's Monday morning. You got six more days of this. It's Monday morning around this joint. You got six more. But Willie's just like Phil. Will he'll cook for a hundred people.

And you can just, if you're ever at that party, you watch him. Go last. You wait till he's eating. Go last. Because all of a sudden. Watch where he's, what pot he goes in. No, no. That's what you go in.

Because that pot ain't out yet. I got a story. Everybody else is going through the line. and everybody's like, oh man, this is good. And there's like these appetizers that are just filling people up. And then all of the sudden, Willie's like, that's the time for me to eat.

And just something comes out of nowhere. And you're like, oh, whoa, but I'm full. So you just wait on Willie. So I was with Willie at a big fish cooking they had down at Fields, okay? And Willie got a bad piece of catfish. And he was like, mm. He took it back and put it in the pile

and sat there and said, Let's see who eats it. He would. Hey, we saw somebody eat it. He's such a turd. Steve Higgs. He's such a turd. Hey, ask him about,

he's a price. If you've never done it, you need to go to a pizza buffet with William, watch him just skin every pizza in there. Well, he's the worst. He'll get a whole pizza and he'll just take his hand and grab the toppings. That's all he eats. There's the bread away. He's such a turd.

You leave the pizza buffet, and there's just mounds of bread with just a little bit of sauce on top because he's just scraped them all off. Just scalped every piece of pizza. He takes a fork and goes just like that. That's all he eats. He's like, that's a good part. I don't want to fill up on bread. Yeah.

And he's the king of making three loaves of bread when he cooks so everybody else will fill up. And he's got leftovers. He's gotten down to a sign. He's a turd. He's a selfish. This is the word I would use. He is a turd. I always like watching him cook.

He starts out with a small pot. It's bigger. Bigger. Yeah, every one is the next size up. Then by the time he finally gets it and it's ready to eat, it reminds me of the Army Messaw. Then you've got a 36-quart boiler full. All right, boys, yeah, it's here.

And he's eating out of the one that he started with over on the sides. A little bit. Yeah. And watching y'all eat the rest. And putting dirty catfish back. Oh, that guy. What a life. That's a true story.

Hey, I did since we had recorded so many lately. I asked some questions on my Instagram. I was wondering what you're looking at over there. Yeah, I was trying to see. Actually, this one is kind of, we were talking about food, obviously, and it says what Cody wants to know our favorite pizza crust. What does that mean? Hand tossed, deep dish, thin.

It depends on where you go. Okay. Well, well, pizza is a science. Sy, what do you like? You like the thin pizza, don't you? Well, no, no. The bricks. Hey, I wish it was in Germany.

Roll them up, baby. No, no, look. I would roll them up just like a hot dog. 12-inch pizza, pepperoni. And I'd order three of them. What? No, no, I'm serious. I'd order three.

I'm going to roll them up like a hot dog and ate all three up. There you go. That does sound amazing. I don't eat a lot of pizza, but I would say the thick crust. I don't like thick crust. Crush. No. Somewhere in the middle.

No. It depends. I don't like crunchy pan much either. You'd have never ate one of them pizzas in Germany. You'd have never ate another thick crust pizza. Have you ever had a Detroit-style pizza? Which one is that? Is that the one with a sauce on the top?

Yeah. And everything else underneath? It's like a cake. Yeah. Nah, we put the sauce on it. Me and Allison make a Detroit-style pizza. Well, yeah, y'all make it out yourself. I don't see what y'all making over it.

That ain't fair. You still ain't brought on that. Yeah, that's probably better. This was a guy that he should have been cooking cornbread. and he made it a pizza crust. It's about that thick. Oh, yeah. That's Detroit.

That's good. But if I'm like at a, if I'm like, That's when you pull a Willie. You just take your fork and scrape all the good stuff off and throw the bread away. That ain't true. Leave it for somebody to make bread. That's right.

Hey, see who eats it. You're pizza. You're all there. But the. No topic. If I'm in a bind and I'm, you know, have an order from Domino's or Pizza Hut or somewhere like that, you get that thin crust with pepperoni and halipipip.

Dominoes, I like that Brooklyn style. Brooklyn style good, too. Yeah, that's the one I like. I was going to say I like to go to Willie's house when he does pizza. Yeah, he's good at it. He makes his own scrush. It ain't bad. Here's another one before we take a break.

Si, who you got in the World Series? Huh? It's the Rangers and the Diamondbacks. Who you got? I'm an Astros fan, but I keep that to myself. I got to go with Texas, boy. That's right, Cy, the Rangers. Me too.

There you go. And Ben actually said, please say Rangers, Uncle Sy. I'll guy as an Astros fan. Look, hey, if between rangers and diamond-backed. Gun-toting cowboys are diamond-back snakes, you know I'm taking the Rangers because, hey, we're going to blow the snakes head off. And you know why? Because Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris. There you go. All right, well, let's take a break. We'll be back right after this. Are we in the email box? Yeah, we're in the inbox. I was still just reading through some of the questions I asked. I'll save these, though, in case we run into slow times, too.

Facebook, comments, YouTube. comments. I read the emails. Hello at duck callroom.com. Send us stuff to talk about. We always do a fan. But I do have a fan that emailed in his first bow deer. He did it. He got his first dear old. That's no brother-in-law. Oh, look at the camo. That's Drew. Look at that. Look at that little cute deal. What do you do? There ain't a hole in him. A little five point. Yeah. So I, that's why I wanted to bring this here to the experts because, you know, our family's full of fishing stuff and clearly we kill huge deer. Where's the hole, Martin?

The only evidence of blood I see is out his nose and his ear. So he hit him with a truck? Yeah, maybe his truck. No, he shot him. It's his first bow deer. I just don't know. Because I don't even see an arrow. He didn't even got a, no, Drew hit that with his truck.

No, he didn't hit it with his truck. Oh, okay. I mean, what do you do? Hit it with a half-ounce rattle trap? I don't know. He caught it. Mike. Fishing rod.

It looked like he snuck up behind him with a hammer and hit him behind the ear. Yeah, the earhole. Earhole. Shot him in the earhole. Or he could have been standing away from him, okay, and he shot him up, you know, the Aho. What? Oh, Texas. The old Texas heart shot.

That's right. Texas heart shot. The hard way. I remember, look, here's what I remember. The hard way. I remember one time hunting duck up with Phil, and these ducks come in from behind us and just kind of I swooped us. We stood up, boom, blah, bo, bo, bo. Phil looked, he says, sometimes there's only one way to get to the head.

He said, that's right up his rear end. See, I just don't see a hole in this deer. And there's an arrow. It's weird. Huh. Maybe it's in the other side and it's stuck on the shoulder or off. I don't know. We're going to be some more pictures.

He just never told me, so I said, well, I'm going to put this for the world to see. Also, Tessa emails, and I'm almost positive I've read this email before, but Beth told me I haven't. Okay. Because she's emailed this before and I meant to read it. What? So she had a cat. The cat had a kitten. It was a boy. They love Uncle Si. So what do you name a cat if you love Uncle Sy? Syllis. Sweet pea. No, it's a boy. That don't matter. Sweet pea's a boy. That's weird. It's weird. So look, they had Silas. They thought probably best for Silas is not to reproduce. We're going to go get them neutered. They brought them out after the neuter and said, hey, the spay went

great. They said, Spay, it's a boy and they're like, nope, Silas is a girl. So apparently they're not very good at telling the difference between boy and girl cats. But their question is this. Do we keep the cat's name as Silas

or do we read, since it's a girl, or do we rename it? Name it Paula. Rename it, Christine. No, I want to name it sis. Paula? Who's Paula? Godwin. Godwin. Salas and Paul.

Oh. There you go. Hey, Salis and Paul, boys. Hey, Paul. I like Christine. Chris? I would just name it. I'm Chris.

Fields married to you wouldn't like her. I'm going to keep it. I'm just going to say, stay with Cy. I got you on Johnny D. Any gift suggestions, this comes from Lauren, any gift suggestions for twin 17-year-old boys who are obsessed with fishing. What's the big thing for kids fishing right now? 17-year-old boys. We got a lot of high.

human beings on earth Because they all want what's new And you know how everybody's on the mission To be different in the world Like you want to stand out Mm-hmm Right

Like look at Phillips' character On Duck Dynasty Yeah He was on a mission to stand out but fishermen are the exact opposite. They want to know what that guy's doing and they want to do the same thing

because they don't want to be left out. Yeah. So you just find what's popular and they'll be excited about it. There you go. It is weird. Yeah, I would agree with that. Fishermen are weird.

Somebody wants to know, Saab, what was the first thing you bought with TV money? He didn't have to buy anything. The weird thing is they started giving him everything. They gave him a house. Willie bought him a fence.

Gift, gift. Yeah, he did slick Willie. He got trucks. Gift. Yeah. What did you buy? Gift. Happiness.

No, hey. He can't think of anything. Ice cream. I really don't know what I bought with the money. What about guns? No. Gifts. No, they gave me them.

Yeah. That's fine. Once you finally have money, you don't got paid for stuff. I know. That's weird. Broke and needed some help. Nobody would give me a help. The first thing I did was put a down payment on mine in Brittany's house.

And I was able to do that without having to take any money out of the bank. Like I was able to pay 20-something percent down just, boop, right there. Oh, I know what I did with the money. I know what I did with the money. What? I gave that redhead of mine a big diamond ring. There you go. Absolutely.

You did buy that. Because, hey, I witnessed that. That's right, because, hey, I felt so bad about putting a cigar ban when I married the woman. Since she said, that is not correct, sign. Incorrect. Phil, what did you do with your duck down? money. I hadn't got it yet. Oh, yeah.

I didn't even know y'all were getting paid. He's still waiting for it. I went to Captain D's and spent all mine right then on a 99-cent mozzarella stick. You should have invited me. In case you're wondering, it takes two episodes to get paid, everybody. Ooh. Boy.

Hey, it took me inside. Everybody else was about 34. We ever saw a paycheck out of it. That's true. Oh, man. Oh. But, let's see. Somebody asking if we watch the new wrestling.

I don't think. New wrestling? Let me tell you something, brother. We watch it. We're ready. I'll put you in the ground. There you go. That was impressive, Phil.

But PBS must be having a special on the Native American. Oh, boy. It's been on for about three days. Well, we're running out of time. We don't. Stay tuned for next episode, when? We owe the Native Americans a lot. It's what I'm finding out.
