Duck Call Room - Uncle Si Visits Some Very Naked Beaches

Episode Date: May 11, 2021

Si isn't exactly sure what Dogecoin is, but he predicts it's going to the moon!  Godwin is judging JD HARD for wearing socks at the beach, and Si doesn't understand why anyone would hit the beach in socks when you're supposed to be ... nude? Godwin shows off his extremely flat feet in all their shoeless glory. Martin sings the praises of gas station fried chicken and hog head cheese. Si doesn't buy what the media's telling him about the skyrocketing price of lumber. The boys deliver a crash course on marriage thanks to Bill and Melinda Gates. JD gives Si literal chill bumps with a story about a humble hero who saved a little girl's life. Si reveals the one thing he won't eat from a fast food place, Martin lays down his one rule about fast food, and the Duck Call Room weighs in on favorite fast food joints (and which ones should be kicked to the curb). - Learn more about your ad choices.

Oh, hold on. Oh, that guy. Yeah, the comedian in the movie. Let me show you all. Look, we got Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin. On a coaster. There it is. On a coaster, boys.

Who are Jim Carrey? I don't. Care. Hey. Is that it? I knew you get it. That looks nothing like. Nothing like Jim Carrey.

Hey. Jim Carrey is a nut. He said he is a nut. He is a nut case. What's your favorite Jim Carrey movies, Si? The one where he was, I can't have to think of a stupid name, but he was always doing stupid stuff. Yeah, the one where he wore the mask. I don't know the name of them.

Yeah. Doing stupid. You don't know the name of it. Oh, yeah. The mask? Everything he's done was stupid in the movie. What about the Truman Show? I mean, he was chasing animals.

The animals was chasing him. Ace Ventura. Yeah. One or two. Yeah. Both. The first time me and my wife ever hung out, we watched Ace Ventura two together. That's how you get them, young men.

I like the series of unfortunate events. The what? Series of unfortunate events. Is that a movie? Jim Carrey was in. I'll have to look it up. I never saw it. Never saw it either.

I did find out Joe Exotic is currently being housed at the federal center in Fort Worth, Texas. Huh. But it's like a hospital prison. Joe's not doing well. Joe, if you're listening, if you're allowed to. We wish you will. We hope you get out and find the answers you're searching for.

To all your problems. Because there's a couple of them. I miss 2020 sometimes. That was a good week, the week of Joe Exotic. Tiger King. That was good. I just. It was a fantastic television program.

It was a fantastic podcast. because I listened to that before they ever come out with that. It made me the most nervous when the Duck Commander T-shirt showed up. Which time? It was a couple. Yeah. That was our fan base there. Hey, and that's not saying anything about you guys.

No. But there's a couple of you out there that got a little Joe exotic in you. And I'll be honest, if I drive down the interstate and I see a sign that says exotic Tiger Park, I'm going to pull in. I mean, that's cool. I like the alligator parks The alligator parks are cool I don't remember if we discussed this And we need to bring it upside

Did you see we have a park here Corolli Park for children Did you see the alligator that they caught in Corolli Park? No I haven't Oh yeah But we talked about it the day Because he said he was going to send you to go get him Oh we did talk about it?

I'm still hung up on it people I can't He still hung up on Corolli Park boys Off of the fact that they've got a gator over it Well don't hate on that gator because they can't catch him until September. Jay Dee, I want you ride him.

You want me to ride? He ain't big enough for JD to ride. I'm a big boy. Also, I've gained weight. I thought it was a big one. No, it's like a five, six footer. He found that stock trout pond at Corolli Park and said, buddy, I had

died and gone to heaven here. They're groceries everywhere. Not only are his groceries, but this prettiest rainbow. Mm-hmm. And brown. Yeah, all of them. All of them.

Until the water hits about 75 degrees, and then they just come belly up. That's right. Then the float to the top. Try it ain't much. Corolley Park didn't post about it. No, it's a Westmanrow PD that did. Westmanrow PD, okay.

Thank you, Westmanrow. Everybody got all been out of shape? I mean, there were just some panicked mothers. Okay, panic? Yeah. I mean, it's just an alligator for crying out. I mean, for crying out, laugh. There was an alligator.

An alligator is dangerous when children and dogs are around water. Stampede. That's it, boys. Yeah. That's how it works. I'm still trying to find it. Still trying to. Alligator.

If you type, maybe it didn't happen. Maybe I dreamed it. No, it happened. Because I knew the cop that was sitting on top of it. Here it is. Oh, yeah,

there's a police officer sitting on top of him. Yes, Chris police, isn't it? I think so. And he's, I went to high school with him. Protecting and serving. Yeah.

He is the alligator whisperer. Well, thank you, corporal. The alligator whisperer for protecting our children and he really did wrestle that thing he's holding it by the mouth yeah i'm going to send that over to the producer people that way they have a producer the way that everybody can know what we're talking yeah it's because we're really just rambling here side do you remember any strange animals and parks growing up like you worked at a golf course did you ever have any

we caught a strange seven-powered no i wish i would have done i wish i'd have to work the one in new orleans it's a Classic they have every year. Uh-huh. They all had, they had a three-legged gator. He had one arm that was another, a gator, it ate half his arm off, front arm off. Oh, that must be the same one that got chubs. No, no, look, he'd be walking.

His arm ain't touched his round. They call him stub. Hey, I don't know. Or they call him tripod. But hey, he was a big old gator, though, I know that. Was it? Yeah. What, the one that ate the leg or the one that survived?

That both of them. All those both. I figured the one that ate the leg was bigger than the one that lost the eight. That's crazy. Think something that big losing the leg and what it takes to rip that off. Oh, no, no, yeah.

And if you type in three-legged alligator, they're a desert classic. Hey, it showed them during the classic walking on a stupid fairway. Why's the fairway got to be stupid, man? Because I never plays from the fairway. Hey, I only go from T's to green, boys. Oh, happy girls.

The forest. The forest green. That's right, part three. Yeah, he drives it, can't find it, walks up to the green, drops one, puts, calls it good. That is a really big three-legged alligator. It is. I feel like you're really missing out a lot by me not being able to show my computer. The shoulder, look, I like the way he walks.

Oh, man. That's so cool where he doesn't. How old, and they named him tripod. Yeah, right. The video says, how old is tripod? Yes. Hey, I know one thing, he's a big old boy. Yeah.

How many people are Googling Tripod right now? Tripod. The PGA Tour tweeted it on April 27, 2018. That's awesome. I love that you just remembered that so well. No, no, hey. You don't forget a three-legged alligator. We didn't see the three-legged alligator when we played in the Zurich Classic.

Me, Jason Willie, actually played in the pro-Aid. We didn't see. I feed him because I watched it on television. Yeah. me Jason Willie he was the spotlight of the day 11 foot long that's it 11 footer boys that's a good one yeah that's kind of you ride jadie

yeah oh yeah i'd be i wouldn't be as nervous i could get away from one with three legs uh as long as it's not in the water no you're biting off more than you can chew here son well if he bit me you're letting your a mockingbird mouth overlaid your overloaded your little alligator rear end.

I thought it was a hummingbird rear end. Hey, there's all kinds of ways to say. Oh, I know. I'd never heard of that saying. That's the end of a rambling first segment here on the duck call room. We got a new segment. With that.

Oh, yeah. No, we're good. With that, are we ready to take a break? I think we are. Are you? Yeah, let's take a break. Well, let's take a break. Well, let's take a break.

We'll be right back. After this, we'll be right back. All right, look, springtime is here. 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 Tritale's beef makes such a good product, baby.

Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. but with Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while.

Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic.

So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails Beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She and a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families

and eat some dang good steak. I'm barefooted. Why are you barefooted? because I can. Did you walk in here barefoot? Oh, that is a bare foot. On the table. And it more resembles a stump than it does a foot.

You ain't got no arch, huh? You need to wash them things, son. You don't have no arch to your foot, hammer. That thing's flat. Flat as a flitter. I mean that. Fat as a what? It's all the weight.

That's what flattened it. Time and pressure. Yeah, time and pressure, boy. Look at it. That duck sit flat on. on that foot flat on it i'm talking about godwin you're a size ring neck hen yeah there you go ring neck

yeah ring neck end walk through that aisle see what they got what size are you sir i about size of a ring neck hen i'm sure all the shoe salesman know but apparently you don't need a shoe salesman you just go barefoot why does this man need why are you barefoot do you like being barefoot is that a well yeah it's summertime yeah I don't like wearing too much.

Hey, back in the day when we, hey, when we was kids and we went barefoot all the time, tell us about it. You could actually, we could actually step on glass and it wouldn't even cut our feet. That's how tough our feet were. Try it now. Oh, no, no, no.

Why is that? I go barefoot at all time. My feet ain't that tough. I get on them rocks. I'm like, I'm tip-toeing. Rocks, hot payment, all that. I used to run down. No problem.

Gravel road. Now? No. I wear socks on the beach. I don't like being barefoot in. You don't wear socks? No. Yeah.

Just put ankle socks on. That way it doesn't get all that. I don't like saying. I wear flip-clops. I knew that fella was weird. He went to talking about his bathroom last time. Most people go to the beach to get naked. J.D., he goes and puts clothes on.

Yeah. Wait, you go to the nude beach? Beach? Well, why else you? I'm telling you it'll... Most people go to the beach to get naked, J.D. Not put on socks or what the ankle socks? I ain't ever been to that beat.

I ain't been to the naked beach either, but I wear a swimsuit and then like a hoodie. And then I put socks on because... Then why go swimming? Do you wear this outfit? Yeah. Oh, this is a great beach. I'm just, why don't you just sit inside? Because I don't want to get sunburned.

Oh, that's what I'm so sitting inside. I'm going to open, open the window, look at the beach and sit there in your underwear. No, I like the water. Why do you? You like to go wade around and everybody else is urine? At the beach. That's a, that's a. Where else do they take a leak?

I mean, it's big enough to where it's diluted at that point. No, but like you go get the water, then you put all your clothes back on. But you keep your socks on because I don't like, you know, when you get in the ocean water, then you walk onto the beach. it's all stuck to your feet. I don't like that. So I invented socks on the beach, which is a great.

So what do you do with those socks? Throw them away? I mean, you can't keep them. Yeah, you can. How? You run them back. I give up. He goes to the beach, okay?

So that he can swim in the public's peak. That's exactly right. Nobody else go to the beach. Do you not get in the water when you go to the beach? Godwin goes to the beach all the time. Yeah, but I'm, I ain't wearing no. So he's barefooted. Well, you're barefooted right now.

I wear short-legged breeches and sometimes I take my shirt off. I'm saying you take a shirt off when I'm in the water, but I don't like getting sunburn. I got lots of questions. Sox on a beach, $1,200 toilet. There's all kinds of things. Well, you don't want to accidentally run into a shell. I mean, is that? I just don't like sand.

So then why go to the beach? Then why do you go to the beach? Other people like sand. I like the ocean. What does that got to do with you going to the beach? I don't like the sand. There's a room in my chair. There's a really cool thing called a swimming pool.

Maybe you ought to try that. No, no, I'm way more into swimming pools for sure. Swimming pools are way better than the beach. I got the hillbillies. It's just. The California hillbillies are called them cement ponds. There you go. I like a swimming pool.

Oh, my goodness. But the beach, I mean, there's just too much sand. I think you and Gaba may be getting to know each other a little more than he wants to be. Because now he's judging you. Yeah, I could put like a blanket down, but you still got to get there. And the sand still on me. Something ain't right. Do you sit under an umbrella?

When it rains. No, at the beach. Well, why would you do that? Everybody's got an umbrella at the beach. That's why they're called beach umbrellas. I'm not beach umbrella. Well, how are you going to get the sun? I have a healthy respect.

He don't go there for the sun. I'm against the sun. He don't go there for the sun. He don't like the sun. He don't like the sand. He's just going. And he likes to. He's going for one thing. He likes to go have the ocean water.

Pleases warm. That's the only reason he's over. That's too. The only reason. That and the kids. I went to one beach one time, though. I was like, hey, we got the Washhtaw River. I'm not going to say the name of the beach.

It's in Alabama. And I was like, hey. Gulf Shore, probably. Turn right. That'd be down there by the fort. Yeah, maybe that one. And I was like, this water. I was like, we'd just go back to the Washington River and call it good.

That's why I felt the first time I rolled up on Grand Isle, Louisiana. You ever been there? I haven't been to Grand Island. The sand, not white, the water, not blue. It just has sand and water. And it's muddy? Oh, is it muddy? Grand Is it muddy?

It's the, it's the... The Bull or the Garland Island. How close is it to the mouth of the Mississippi? It's right down there back. That's where Highway 1 starts or ends, however you want to look at it. It's a gar. No, it ain't a gar. Because you can go down there to the dock.

Well, hey, charcoal then. Well, yeah. But look, you can go down there to the docks where all the shrimp boats come in and just buy your shrimp straight from their boat. So it's not a gar. You eat fantastically in Grand Isle. Okay. If you can go get fresh shrimp, yeah, okay.

Not frozen. It ain't a garhole. They scoop it out of the hole of the boat and like, how much you want, 10 pounds? Pop. It's good. I used to have a guy who would drive here like once every two weeks from Grand Isle with shrimp. They were excellent. Excellent.

And they were the size of like my face. There's a gas station in Grand Isle proper. Got some fantastic fried chicken too. Uh-oh. I love fried chicken. Especially gas station fried chicken. We should do it. I want to get on that gas station fried chicken bag.

Yeah. I would. And a heartbeat. My favorite. That's dish. Boone balls. Fried chicken got shut down for a car. Those things are good.

No, they ain't no good. Boodan ball? No. You don't like booedad? Do. Really? No. Why?

No, I like shrimp, but boo damn, that's out. He's out on that. You like him blue crabs they catch down there? I'm not big on those. Soft shell. No, yeah, I like the soft shell. Yeah. I didn't even know it.

Yeah. Why don't you like boo? He likes the soft shell, but didn't even know it. You know, if you can. What kind of. Pick a knife in it, it squirts out meat, no, no. So you don't like sausage? If it does what I said, no.

Squirts out. I can't eat booed in. I mean, booed-d-d-hans weird. Do you eat hoghead cheese? Nope. That stuff's so good. Oh, you're disgusting. That stuff so good.

I like cheese, but I mean, no. Hog-head, nope. He's off a hog-head, too. I need to know from our listeners, do any of you people eat hog-head cheese? I hope so, because that stuff is good. It is so gross. I threw up in that restaurant that one time. Incorrect.

It is not gross. No, I threw up in the restaurant. That is correct. Willie. If you ever watch it being made, you have to do you want me. No, Willie said he took this huge piece of hoghead cheese in a restaurant, and I was like, I ain't eating that crap. And he was like, I'll give you $300 if you can eat the whole thing.

And I just did the best I could, and then I ended up puking on my. last buy it was disgusting yeah I felt like that bring it up again we'll vote on it I figured he was gonna order craft macaroni and cheese that's more his style uh-oh whoa whoa no just because I wear socks on the beach don't mean I don't know how to cook and I eat fancy lots of chicken nuggets around there is that what you're gonna get out of there and the frozen sides coming out of a box he knows how to cook shaped like a dinosaur and he knows how to eat I ain't too many people don't know how to work a microwave. Now I feel personally, you can make fun of socks on the beach.

You can make fun of my toilet. You cannot make fun of me and what I eat because I have actually. Oh, he's a connoisseur. I've been called a food snob more than once. You've also been called a Roomba. And I've also been called a Roomba. I'm not afraid. If it's good, I'm going to clean you out of it.

But no, I know how to cook. He's also been called garbage disposal. I've been called a lot of things. But no, we made, we made some Pioneer Woman stuff on Monday night. It was fantastic. Pioneer Woman's stuff? The Pioneer Woman is,

if you don't know how to cook, go get out a Pioneer Woman cookbook, and she will teach you how. She's a great teacher. I hope the Pioneer Woman listens to us. I'm going to go out on a limb and say she doesn't. But, lady, if you do, I love you. Thank you for all those recipes.

You want to show her what they did to you? Yeah. Well, and ever since all you people keep sending snacks in, I still keep getting bigger. Get on that flank meat, sir. That's right. I hope Bill Barry and dough boy here. That plank steak over. Put my helmet back.

Pudgy, boys, pushy. Well, let's take another break. We'll be back right after this. After these messages. What defines good and bad news? Most of the news is bad. It's why we don't talk about the news on the podcast. That's right.

Well, that, yeah. Yeah, but I mean, that's, you're interchanging the term news with politics now. Oh, that's all. Well, I'm saying that's all that. He said the P word everybody. That's all that exists on the news. Oh, well, we're, I. You want to know some real news?

Big windstorm come through here yesterday. Remember when that stuff used to make the news? Now you don't even hear about it. That was the news. That's the local news. Yeah. Well, I mean, locally, that's a. How big was the windstorm to come to?

I don't know. It'd be. You slept through it, didn't you? You sleep all the way through? I just heard all the rumbling. Yeah, it was, it was rough. It knocked down a couple of trees that my grandparents have. Oh, did it?

Mm-hmm. Then it's pretty rough. I thought, and I thought that straight line win. I thought after the two hurricanes last year, every tree that wanted to fall had fallen. Nope. Nope. There was two more that said, I'm done.

So, you know, yeah. I've what's done it all, I'm going to take this. I've had all I can stand. That's right. I've had all I can stand. Well, what you got, Sean? What is, what do you consider news? I've been just, I've been reading the news.

I'm trying to, you know, grow since I'm going. Give us something that's entertaining. So your belly been hurting? Oh, well, this one's... Your belly been hurting? Like the ketchup bottle. Well, ain't that when you read the news on the toilet? I am going to put that awkward family photo book by the toilet because that just looks like a good time.

In your house? No, it isn't there? That's just the Duck Commander toilet. But no, I said, we're just going through the news. All right. What's you got? I just went through all the trending topics. But this one interests me.

And I want to hear, side just had 50 years of wedding. Bliss. Bliss. Bliss. Blissful marriage. Capital B. Capital B. That doesn't mean he's a billionaire, but speaking of billionaires.

I'm far from it. Bill and Melinda Gates after 27 years of marriage are getting a divorce. 27 years. Was that? $130 billion. $130 billion? That's what he's worth? Well, I guess half that.

I would just think so. Hey, she's fixed to clip him pretty good. Yeah. Okay. I'm sure Bill is sad about that. But hey, I know. He's still going to be a bill. I know.

What are you going to do with, what, 137 billion? Cut that in half. Sal, what would you do with $137 billion? Probably the same time I'm doing with what a little bit I got in my checking account. It would be the mayor of Philpott right, baby. I bet Philpott would actually be fixed, though. Yeah. I bet you'd be able to drive down it without having to replace.

Well, hey, no. No. No. No. No. No. Look, we do too much logging in Louisiana. Too much logging.

Yeah, because that's why the road you're going down there and you just, it's like you fall off a hole. I'm going to be honest. I wish they'd do a little bit more and drive that price of lumber down. Good grief. Yeah. Wow. No, no. See, that don't make any sense.

It ain't no supply and demand that drives the price up because there's more trees laying on the ground in Louisiana right now. Two in my yard. Okay, and this one's high on a cat's back. Oh, if I could piece up that oak tree that fell in my house yard yesterday, I'd be a gozillionaire at the price of lumber right now. You could be like Bill Gates. I wouldn't be quite there, but I'd be able to buy some doge coin. I could survive if I was just a being there, one.

You could survive? You could make that work? Yeah, I can make it work. Do you think your marriage could have worked with a billion dollars? Probably not. Oh, so you're saying that might have ruined it. Oh, no, no, yeah. That's too much money.

Well, hey, we get a lot of marriage advice. How do you know how to handle money? Huh. What happens? He says most people can't handle money. Most people don't know how to handle money. Why do you think they say that's the root of all evil? I'm going to be honest with you.

If I had $130 billion, they're a pretty good chance. I'd be dead right now. I mean, I'm just tearing down a wall here because I'd have done something stupid by this point. See what I'm talking about? I just said they don't know how to deal with money. I mean, you got $130 billion.

That just leads you down the road to do something stupid. No, no, no, it is because I had an uncle. Like learning how to fly a helicopter. No, no, no. Size got an uncle. No, no, and it ruined his life. Yeah. Okay, him and his brothers saved up enough money that they wildcatted in the oil field.

And unfortunately, they drill one, and it blew the top of the dairy cart. And then there was instant millionaires. Well, now, hey, here's a. a country boy redneck that was born, poor as a snake, okay, him and his family. And then all of a sudden, when he's like in his 30s, he's an innocent man there. Well, just like he said, here comes stupidity. Yeah. Because now you can afford to be stupid.

Oh, you can do real stupid. Oh, no, no, no, yeah, you can get ignorant. Yeah. Okay. He'd be like, hey, I just saw this cool airplane kid. to build my own airplane and fly yeah boom i mean there's just all kinds there's a death in the family yeah hey he don't know nothing about aircraft yeah but i mean you're like i got all this money i might as well do something with it i'm just saying i'd go on vacation

would you wear socks what you went to the beach no no he'd have somebody toad him he'd have somebody carried yeah i mean four-wheeler that way you don't have to touch the same yeah i mean it's just well that was just an interesting one to me seeing as how you've made it, but, you know, you, 50 years, we've been talking about that a lot, that's impressive. I'm at 10 years. Here's the key to marriage. Let's hear it. If you ain't struggling,

you're going to be divorcing. That's deep, homie. I like that. I'm serious, if you're not struggling just to scratch by, you end up divorced. I'm going to tell a story. You want to get real? I got yelled at by my wife this morning, and I walked out and closed

the door, didn't even say goodbye. And then like... I broke down and cried like a baby. No, but like, no, I didn't. I was mad because I was in trouble and she was blaming me for something that wasn't. I didn't do it. And so then I had, but I did call and apologize later on the road to Home Depot. I was like, hey, my bad. I got too mad there, but why did you have to say that?

And then she apologized. And so, you know, it is. Well, you like that old Arredale dog, J.D. What's that about? I'm a lot smarter than a look, boy. You lost morning you look because you learned to do the one thing. Most people don't learn to do it. Good on you for calling and not texting.

Yeah. That's a good one. It's a good one. I got all the way down Arkansas Road before I said, I guess I'll call. Yeah, that's a good one. Because I was hot when I left the house. But, hey, maybe I love you. Anyway, I got some good news now.

That was weird news. But I thought that'd be worth talking about. A lot of money. But, I mean, before we end Bill Gates. Let's go. I'm just curious. If you've put in 27 years of work. That's a good point, too.

How do you then decide, no? I mean, 27 years. It finally, no, no, no. That's a quarter of a century of work. How many years are you? You're 30 something. 32. 32.

So five years ago, you and Paula just said, no, I'm good. No, we ain't doing it. I know that. But that's, I'm just saying, just think back five years ago if y'all are just, no, I'm good. a 27 years. Yeah, I've done put up with you for this long. And vice versa. And vice versa.

And then all of a sudden, when you're going to look and say, you know, I don't even like you. They weren't invested in each other. Well, I mean, does it not probably come back to

to where the focus in their marriage probably was? Yep. I mean. Boys, we're hitting on all. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

That's why I had. said if you're not struggling. Yeah. Because if you're struggling, you're trying to fight this crap together. I'll tell you something. If you're not, then you're going your own different ways on all different things. Yeah. And that's why finally they're going to come up and say, look at this.

I've been with you for 27 years. I've had enough of you. Yeah. Yeah, I just think, you know, probably part of the problem is you would look at it and say, Well, you know it wasn't financial, but maybe the financial was the problem. Maybe the B was the focus. Maybe the $130 billion was the center of their marriage. Well, hey, from experience, I've known a lot of millionaires in the Army when I didn't have nothing.

Okay. And they was the most miserable people I'd ever been around in my life. Because all they was worried about was just what you're talking about. Their whole focus was on what they had. How to add another M. Yeah. How can I get more? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you got the world right now. What do you mean? What can I ask can I get? Yeah. No, it just, you know, your focus is wrong. That's why I was saying if you're struggling, your focus is, you know, if you can't pay the bills,

yeah, your focus is on we got to do something. We got to pull together. Yeah. We got to do something to fight this. Yeah. Oh, I can dig it. No, I can do it. I can dig that.

It's just interesting to think about, especially because I'm in a few weeks, I'll be married for six years. And, you know, I mean, you don't think I ever thought. You don't ever think I ain't. Have you had a blast? Have you had a blast? Huh?

Have you had a blast? I have had a blast. I've had a good time. That's why I wanted. But I've also recognized after the first year to embrace the struggles that come along with marriage instead of like fight the struggles. embrace it knowing that it makes your marriage that much stronger.

It's coming. It's coming. Yeah, this is all coming. It's give and take. You got to invest in each other. Yeah. It was something I did early on in our marriage. Paula told me later she really appreciated it.

We had a big fight. Well, I guess our first big fight. And I guess it stemmed from my parents divorced. and I was like, I'm married, I ain't getting another way. And I, yeah, and I ain't let it happen to me. But we had that fight, and she was, and I said, look, it's okay for you to be man? We'll talk about it in private. She went and got on the couch.

She was, she going to her mamas. I said, I ain't no going to mamas. I ain't no going getting on the couch. I said, we're going to sleep in the same bed. It's okay to be mad? We'll talk about it in the morning. And usually it diffuses the situation. A lot.

But she said she appreciated that. So we made a pack, even though we're mad, we're going to sleep in that same bed at night. And ain't no kicking you to the couch or the other bedroom or none of that. No going on the couch. No going to mama. Yeah. I mean, I'll be honest with that.

I sleep on that couch sometime. That's just because ducks is. rolls around. I'm all asleep air and I wake up. My dad's left on the couch all the time. It's just because we were afraid to wake him up. Yeah. Yeah, Brittany's like, I tried to wake you up.

I'm like, no, just let me go. It's fine. But anyway, well, who knew we'd have got there? But I'm glad we did because you never know. There could be listeners struggling. We've had people ask for marriage advice. Yeah. And so I found it just interesting that you would think people that had no worries in the world

27 years just went back. back on vows they made. And then you start, yeah, and then you get to the point about, I wonder what caused it. So I'm about to say something I thought I'd never say. Thank you, Bill Gates. Let's take a break. Thanks for providing the deep conversation here in the duck call room.

After these messages. And we're back. Well, thanks, God. I appreciate you doing that. We're back, baby. Oh, well, Johnny D, that one was. That was fun. Who knew that news story would get us into the?

That was good stuff. Hey, let's chase another one. It was. Marriage counseling 101, boy. Let's chase another one. Well, so here's what I did this morning. I googled good news. Because I was like, I kind of wanted to just see where the bill and Melinda thing

takes us. He wanted to go positive, boy. But we needed some good news. And CNN, surprisingly enough, gave me a good news story. Oh, my goodness. The media has actually produced good news? Good news right here. So it starts with bad news.

We're in Ocean City, Maryland, and there was a big crash on a bridge, eight cars or so. Oh, I saw this. You saw this? This is incredible story. Yeah, it's incredible. You're going to love this. No, I just, I know what he's talking about. And so the bad news is there's an eight car crash on the bridge.

Okay. That's the bad news. And here's the worst news. 22-year-old little girl fell out of the car and off of the bridge. That's how bad the crash was. And she's in the water. Some old boy that wasn't in the wreck, runs, jumps over off the bridge, doesn't know how deep the water is. Oh, right.

Does the tarzan on? Yeah. For real. And he jumps 25 feet down. The water is only five foot deep. So he risked his life. Yeah. Gets down there, pulls the little baby out, saves your life.

And then, you know what? He won't even let anybody know his name. That's awesome. the good Samaritan that's cool that's a good man that's just a good hero he's one of them marvel character that's cool yep captain america to the rescue baby that's a good he the good samaritan they're calling him the humble hero and the good samaritan i've often found in cases like that though whenever somebody's doing something good it wouldn't have mattered if that water would have been two feet deep he'd have

been all right it just seems that that's the way those kind of things worked out because he jumped in there unselfishly to save this little kid. So there's it, you know, conspiracy people would say, boy, he's lucky. I'm going to say it's a good Lord putting a shield around him because he's doing the right thing. I got chill bumps all over me, boys. He really does. I can see the bumps. No, because just what he was saying, hey, that's the almighty doing his thing.

Yeah. The Almighty put him there to go get that little girl. Yep. Hmm. Because just how, if he wanted to take that little girl, he could. Wow. Good grief. But he put that, he, he put that fella there.

You got size shaking. He put that fellow there to save that little girl, and that's pretty awesome. And I'm glad that that guy listened. He just went to us. That's what I'm saying. But he had to have the urge. And sometimes, you know, we've all had an urge to do something, and then we back off of it.

But he had the urge and he went. So, go on, save the girl. Now he doesn't want anybody to know. his name that's awesome that's cool okay i'm gonna be honest i got i like being the guy like i'd be like look what i did everybody like maybe who knows i haven't been in that situation so it is cool that he's like ah no no no no no don't worry about me i'm cool i was just being a good human i just doing what i felt needed to be done at the time yeah that's awesome anybody that's good one to jump on the bridge i'm out i say i'm glad he did i'm glad he was there because i'd have got up to the edge problem

I'm not saying I wouldn't end it up in the water, but I'd have looked at that 25 feet and said, I would have needed to know. When I went over that edge, I would be thinking, how cold is that water? It's going to be cold. And Johnny D would be thinking,

this is going to hurt a lot worse than a bidet. Clench, baby, clench. I've jumped off enough bridges and rope swings to learn that trick. Clench. Plus that high. up. It hurts.

At water, and water is harder than you think it is. About like concrete. Yeah, yeah, it's hard than you think it is. But me and heights

don't really gee-haugh anyway because I've found, especially when I was heavier, I was even more scared of heights. I was like, I get up in that deer stand. I look now, I'm like, oh, boy.

Oh, boy. Okay. All right, okay. I lost a little weight and got a little bit of my agility back, so now I don't bother me near the butt. Then I was just going to be a cinder block. What's so cool about this?

It reminds me of a story in the Freeport newspaper when I was a kid. You know, a mom looks outside, and there's an 18-wheeler truck runs over her child. And the guy stops it. He had a heart attack or something, and it stopped, and the kid's under the wheel. But she picks this tractor trailer up and pulls her child off the money. She was like $1.15. The woman did? Yeah.

She picked the truck up? She picked the truck up, pulled her kid out from under it. That's amazing. No, no. She weighed 115, okay. That's a miracle. Between the good Lord and adrenaline. No, no.

Yeah, adrenaline. That's why I wasn't, you were talking about. You know, that's one of them things that, okay, yeah, I'll give you a shout of this to get this done. Just do it. Just do it. Yeah. I've heard stories like that. That's awesome.

Oh, I had a picture of it. You know, this little girl, you know, she was like 22 years old. That fight or flight response is real. Oh, no. Yeah. And, you know. Yeah, adrenaline is an amazing thing. That's why some of our military people.

And I'm going to tell you, I'm a fighter. I ain't a flighter. I ain't ever run for much. Yeah. Now, I run from a purple tail nest. I learn my lesson about fighting them. You're going to lose that fight. Yeah.

That's right. That's a losing battle. I mean, you may win the battle, or you may win the war, but they're going to win the battle. You get them. They're going to won you. Oh, you're going to have little pop marks all over you. But, you know, that's about the only thing that has sent me running. Anything else, I'm like, let's fight it out.

Let's do it. Fight it out, baby. All right. Hey, next news story. All right. Dive into this one. This one is a little partial to my heart, not because I've ever been pregnant or You handpicked them, didn't you?

No, I just Googled. I just went down the list. I mean, I skipped some. some that I was like, that's not that great of news. All right, here's this one. Passengers help deliver premature baby on a flight to Hawaii. Ladies, pregnant, on a flight to Hawaii, super early, 29 weeks. Like, oh, no, this baby's coming.

Three NICU nurses and a NICU doctor on the flight. Just happened to be there. On the plane. My coincidence, they're on that plane. What in the world? They was going on holiday. I know, but like how perfect, because, So I have vast experience in the NICU with my first son.

He was there for 76 days. But besides the point, that's a long, boring, terrible story. But he's healthy now. So NICU nurses hold a special place in my heart and NICU doctors. But I thought that story was just amazing that they're just flying. They're going to Hawaii for vacation. It's like, hold on. You got one more job to do.

And the baby's fine. How about that? That's pretty cool. Women had women been having babies for years. Scott was premature. His butt would fit in my hand. Wow.

When he was born. Really? Yeah. Carter was. So I'm like you, the people in that field. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

They're heroes. Yeah. They're, yeah. Cool-headed. And Jay Stone's wife was premature, too. She was really, yeah. Anna was like. Anna was like.

Yeah. She was big as a cat squirrel. Yeah. Oh, no, no. Carter was four pounds, so he was kind of big for the Nicky, you. But she was-dain. I'm just glad God would put it in a perspective. Our listeners will know.

She's about the size of a cat-square. Oh, cat-squareles size. You know, it takes about 10 of them to make a good gravy. Yeah, it does. I mean, it is a good gravy, too. It wasn't supposed to be here. That's my favorite wild game, squirrel. Oh.

Well, Sire, look, before we get off the news, I just, I got no one. thing from you. Is Doge coin going to the moon? It better. It's what now? What'd you say? Doge coin. Is it going to the moon? It's like fake money that people buy that gets more expensive over time. I don't know. I made $500 yesterday. Yeah, it'll probably will. To the moon. To the moon. To the moon, boy.

After these messages. All right, we're back. Look, Johnny D. We've been on the news. Do you want, okay. So I got, oh, sorry. Sorry. I was going to tell everybody how to reach us. Look, hello at duck callroom.com is the email address. It's an email address. You've got thoughts, concerns, questions, nice things to say, whatever.

Shoot us a note. Hello at duck callroom.com. And Johnny D. is going to find something in there that we're going to talk about. We got one email today that I really like. I think it's going to take up our entire time. Only one? Well, we had a lot. But there was one I really wanted to discuss in length.

But it also goes with another news story I found about a, Florida woman finding a cigarette in her Taco Bell. And I was like, that's disgusting. Speaking of cigarettes in your Taco Bell, though. Daniel of Branson, Missouri. You ever been to Branson? Yes, I have. I've been there.

Nice place. I hear it. I've never been there. He's a redneck, living among hillbillies. And he's sad because there's no Popeyes to be found within 40 miles of his home. I'd be sad, too. I mean, how bad. No Popeyes. No Popeyes.

So he wants to know what Uncle Si and the boys' favorite fast food joints are and which ones need to be excommunicated. Oh, really? That's what Dan thinks. And I've got favorite fast food. Strong opinions. I mean, to me, I'm just going to tell you the ones that you will find me go to. Chick-fil-A.

Amen. Obviously. That's a good one. Raising canes. I like them. Louisiana-based. You know, Popeyes, obviously we've talked about that at late. Praise the Lord.

Cigarette or not in your Taco Bell. I'm going to Taco Bell. How much gross stuff do you think you've eaten? A lot. Parado Supreme, baby. With extra sour cream. This person's acting surprise. They just were lucky enough to actually find said obstacle in their food.

I have one rule about fast food. You don't open it. Don't look at it. Just eat it. You just eat it. You got it. You know going into this, I may not want to know everything that it took to get it to ride it.

Well, at least it showed the picture of it. At least it wasn't lit and somebody had been smoking it. It was just a. Oh, it was new. Yeah, it was a new cigarette. Oh, so they could have taken it out of it. Somebody just fell out of their pocket or something. Yeah, he just leaned over to get some onions and it fell out.

But what if it fell from behind their ear and had that little ear sweat? Especially on a busy day. Yeah. You know, a soggy cigarette. Or perhaps their manager just come by and slapped it out of their mouth because they were going to. I told you about smoking in here. But I'm still going to go to Taco Bell and get that burritos. Yeah, the woman was sad because her child took a bite of a cigarette.

Well, at least he didn't smoke it. Amen. Amen. But those are probably my. Those are your go-s. Then were good ones. I like Arby's. We got the meat.

Yeah. I could live without it. Phillip better, if I were in charge, he better spend that Captain D's gift card to quit. I would just fix that. Bresket at Arby. Oh, God was still stuck on that brisket at Arbis. They got good cheese sauce on it.

That's just one thing I cannot go. Orseysals? No, no, is a fish place. Yeah. That's because we catch and eat all about. I'm used to catch them, okay, cleaning. and cooking my fish. The only fish place that I've eaten

that I enjoy is the local one like Catfish Charlie's because they have that, they have that thin and crispy food where they take like the Catfish fillet and butter chit. And like you got crawfish. And they get the mud out of them. I mean you see the live

crawfish then they boil them for you and put them on the table. But I have one new story I want to share with Cy. Yesterday at Lake Havasu, Arizona. Oh. Gobba knows about this one. All of us. Lake Havasu, Arizona, yesterday.

I like McDonald's. Yes, listen to me, Sa. Let me and I. World record Chinky Pen caught yesterday. We got an email about that. 6.3 pounds. Oh, I was going to say 5. 6.3.

Hold on. Chinky pin. Chinkipin. Red ear. And I know how much you love them. And you're talking about cleaning and eating fish made me think about it. I don't forget. A six-pound.

Here you go. There's you a picture of a man named Justin sent a photo. Hold on. You wouldn't have to go fishing for a week. Bull. They got them, what's them muscles in Havasu? It starts with a cube. I don't know what the...

Wait, where did you say it was? Lake Havasu, Arizona. A quada. We're looking at something different. This is something, hey, this is six, six pounds. Red-eared-eer sunfish. Yeah, that's cheeky. That's a six point three pounds, 17 inches long, 20th.

This says in Waterford, Wisconsin. No, uh-uh. No, no. Incorrect. Incorrect. Fake news. Caught by Thomas. Hey, he's in the news.

For sure. Wasn't it have a zoo government? Yep. Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm sure somebody just had this one. Yeah. Well, that's big fish. But that 6.3 pound Tinky Penh may be like that Black Panther

that's been from North Carolina to Utah. No, no, yeah. It's the same pitching that's coming from everywhere. There it is. West Virginia. Lake Havasu. There it is right there. 6.3 pounds.

Wow. Yeah, we're looking at the same thing. Yeah. That's unbelievable. Well, why did they say Wisconsin on there? Because that's what the internet does. Okay. Yeah, a bunch of dummies.

Yeah. That's what they. internet. I would eat a six-pound chicken. Well, here's what I'm going to tell you. It was the fisherman. Do you ever eat the fish tails of the bread? Oh, my gosh. How good would a six-pound fish tail be?

That little, hey, look, don't sleep on that little peck fin either if he gets left on it. Tater chew. It would be six pounds. It's a fish-flavored potato cheese. I just want to give all of our listener to heads up. If you hear of a four-plus-pound red-eared-eer sunfish, shell cracker, Chinky-pinkie, whatever you want to call it. Mason-Bullough.

Call it calls them chicken pins. Chicken pins. Chicken pins, boys. He come from Arizona. And he come from Lake Havasu because that's what they're known for. That's where they grow them. I need to go to Arizona.

Yeah. Hey, you want to catch you a bull. He drop shot at a night crawler on the bed, just like you all do down there. Take drop shot, throw it on bed. Six pounds. That's big. Giant.

Imagine how good that fee labor. Humongous. Oh, my goodness. You could have made two big sandwiches out of that. Okay. Papa's has a flounder sandwich right now, and I'm against it. Flounders are. That's a bull.

It's just weird. That's a bowl. All right, Johnny Dee. Take us home. Where are we at from the Bible? Oops, I had it. Anyway, I like Chick-fil-A, too. Amen.

And we should get rid of Burger King. Let's go to Chick-Phill right now. Well, I'll read a Bible verse, and then I'm in. Proverbs 1822. This is for all our listeners. We got a little heavy today. Hey, let us know if you like the news stories and what we thought about them. I thought that was a fun set.

Hey, another thing may be cool, too. Shoot us your favorite Bible verses. That's it. Some people do that. Yeah, we get a lot of Bible verses in. Yeah, shoot us your favorite one. You're in private words, but you're in good country. Good country.

I typically try and when I'm over here, I'm trying to find a verse. Hey, that's a lot. I got me some brownie points over the day. On our anniversary, I give Paula a sweetly. little note and I'll put Proverbs 31. I think it's 15 to the end. Oh, you said she's a Proverbs 31 woman. That's right.

I got one of those too. And I thought about reading the verse from Proverbs 31, but I'm going to go with Proverbs 1822 because I think all the men in here will agree with it. He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. That's sweet and simple. Hey, does it need to have anything else said? Nope.

That's what I thought. So get with your woman. Stick with her. See you in heaven. Yep. And hey, it's for one time only. That's for your entire life. Because that's what you said.

That's what the vowel was, boys. And that's a ding. And we'll see y'all next week right here in the duck calls. Like and subscribe, boys. Hit that bell.
