Duck Call Room - Uncle Si Vows He’d Never Do What Joe Biden Just Did for His Son

Episode Date: December 5, 2024

Uncle Si is critical of Joe Biden’s handling of the sweeping pardon for his son, Hunter, and reckons most fathers should be. Martin opens a can of worms when he dives into Si’s opinion of his nephew, Al, cooking Phil’s famous duck and dressing for the first time this year, and John-David just seems to really be into pickles these days. Phillip went on an epic tuna fishing trip that resulted in the boys making some surprising observations about him. A young caller confronts Si about one of his famous stories, and Si is forced to tweak a couple of things for honesty’s sake.

Oh, Amarillo is far away. Yeah. But you can be there by morning, according to George Strait. Right. Well, if we went, they just got a new animal. Oh, no. The Amarilla Zoo got a new animal. Well, good.

Welcome back to the duck-all room, ladies and gentlemen. Do you have any guesses? That duck is pretty, what it could be? If they emailed us, it can only be one thing, a large black feline. And his name is Bigura. His name is what? That ought to tell you them things don't exist. Why?

Like they naming them names. It ain't really names. That's the name. That's the name of the black cat and jungle book, man. That's fine. Yeah. But you ever heard them other names anywhere else in Jungle Book? Hey, that's the Mexican Jaguar.

Eight-year-old black Jaguar. I didn't know Amarillo had a zan. Hey, you could throw a saddle little net sucker boy as big as he is. But anyway. That's a pretty animal, though. Yeah. Sometimes I start on emails and just see what's in there. Sometimes people send me things.

Oh, it's the double hump camel. Okay. Now my computer's just at the Amarillo Zoo because I was curious. All right. Then there was the kangaroo. Roof? Hey, thanks, Lee, for the email. Ah, yeah, there you go.

There we go. That's how we start. But welcome back from the holidays. Yeah. We had a good holiday break. Philippa was your day. I hope everyone had a very, very good Thanksgiving. Amen.

So much to be thankful for. They were thankful. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I gained three pounds. Double it. Double it. Martin gained six pounds.

Double it. There were too many pecan-based desserts around me at all times. I'm proud to know you. That's impressive. Well, it wasn't from the other stuff. It was just straight desserts. But the problem is I ate it for breakfast, lunch, dinner. That sounded like me in the sweet potato pie.

But, yeah. Oh, before we go and duck hunting over the break, yeah. I'd walk by that leftover pecan pie sitting there and I'd just grab a slice cold, buddy. I got one at the house. Head on out to the duc hole. And he'll open his yet. Oh, I'm coming to your house. I'm done.

I'm on detox. I'm on detox. I didn't even open it yet. I ate the potato pie, though, because every time I'd go, I'd take it and knife. I have more sugar in a three-day span than I've had in the last six months. Hey, it's Thanksgiving. That you're supposed to. So, tell us about Alan and Lisa.

they picked up a new recipe. They're going to cook the dressing like Phil and Kay. So tell us all about it. Since Phil didn't do the dressing, okay, he always does it for Thanksgiving. Well, Al said, well, we've got to keep on the, keep the legacy going. So Al tried it. Yeah, he tried. He tried to, let me, before you get started, the man, one day before y'all are going to

say, hey, can I get about six or eight teal? I said, Al, I ain't killed six or eight teal all. all year. I ain't even seen it. If I, I would be glad to give you something. It was always different feel. Like,

you know, because we hunt rice fields or fields a lot early. Yeah. And I'd always take field some teal for his duck and dressing. But I said, ow, this,

this ain't a year for it, buddy. I don't know what to pay. I don't know what to use. I guess can tell us. No, no, he found some till for somebody. Okay,

there you go. What? Here's the deal. He asked me, he said, well, what about it? You know,

I've done got mine, you know, and so I tasted it. I looked at the beginning when I said, well, no, you missed it. Uh-oh. Just looking at it.

Yeah, just looking at it. I said, too runny, especially want to put the spoon in. Uh-oh. I said, too running, you didn't cook it long enough. I said, hey, here's what you got to do.

You got to cook it long enough for it's, it's, you had to kind of scrape it off of the sides. Were you the first in line? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I said the blessing.

And I said, I was already starting to get my plate, and they said, hey, we should pray first. Yeah, well, we would like you to, a prayer for you say a prayer for i said well hey i want to eat i said bang heads so i said the blessing and then i got my food well i told al i asked me well what about no i said well number one no is it

you answer that nope no come but it's runny i said you didn't cook it long enough i said you got to get it hard on the outside all the way around this is the dressing yeah the dressing and then when you do that way okay you'll dip in there and What's inside will be, it'll be more. Yeah. But it wasn't that. Then I got the little till off of the top, right? Yeah.

Well, I like the broke the plastic fork. He was so tough. Ooh. I said, the duck was too tough. You didn't boil him enough. Man, good grief. Normally we just make fun of his best. Now we're just going after his heart.

No, no, because you, hey, you have to ask Phil, you know, how do you tell if the duct are tender? Well, you, yeah, you boil them. and when you can just grab the leg and just ease it off, that's when it's tender. So did anybody eat the dressing? Well, they ate it, but I mean, you know, hey, they don't know good dressing because they hadn't ate mine.

Okay, I, hey, look. Hey, in fairness, in fairness. I make the best dressing. When's the last time a Robertson, not named Phil or Cy, ate a duck? ate a wild duck. What was the last time? Yeah, not you and not your brother. Oh, I'm saying.

I'm discounting y'all. I'm saying because, hey, Thanksgiving, that's all I go to. I know. That's the only reason I show up. So you can't. It's going to be duck and dressed. So you didn't stay long. But you can't expect, I ought to know really how to cook duck.

And you don't eat. Well, I will. Now, he grew up eating them, and I'm sure he hates them. Yeah. Well, no, no. Here's what I need to tell it. I said, hey, look, call me. I'll cook you up.

And hey, look, you can help me. I'm prepared. You can help me. I said, because your dad scared y'all from infancy. Oh, you don't want to put them a sage in it so they don't put, you know, I mean, you got a big pot this big, okay, you know, that'll feed, what, 30 people? Yeah. So, yeah.

And Phil goes. A little sprinkle, and that's it. It starts it's always, you know. Yeah. Hey, you got to put some sage in this. The other man tried to carry on a tradition, and you just went, nah, no. Well, no, no, I'm going to help Al make it next Thanksgiving. But that's just.

It'll be good then. Well, that's betting on the come, eh. He's going to be in there scraping the bottom of the barrel to get the last little bit. That's right. But you're giving honest feedback. Oh, our daughter just walked in. Yeah. Okay.

Time out. Time out. Hey, Alex. Alex. Unbiased opinion. Yeah, she's a shift. She's a legitimate frame chef. Go get on Hunter's microphone.

Alex. How he is addressing? So Alex, how was your dad's attempt at your grandfather's dressing? Could use some improvement. Oh. I don't know if that came through. In other words, in redneck languages. But that's a nice way of, see how she said, this could improve, not.

Well, that's what I told him. He asked me, he said, hey, no. It doesn't need more sage. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah, it doesn't need more sage. Oh, yes, it does. What it needed was a longer cooking time. There is no sage flavor in it.

So I did say that. A little runny. Yeah. See, I like, to be fair, I would prefer my dressing like my steak. I'd rather it a little runny than overcooked. Oh, yeah. Like. Oh, no, that's the last thing you will do.

It's overcooked. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Medium plus, if you will. Oh, yeah, there you go. Hey, I'm serious. No, no, look. I'm just glad to know Alex is still a Robertson.

Here's the thing. They rough food critics. Hey, look. Hey, they're rough. Period. Look there. If you can't grab whatever that dressing is in and shaking and it don't wobble like jello. Wobble.

Hey, throw that crap out. It'll be good. You cooked you too long. Just often how you used to patrol the bars, wouldn't it? Oh. Yeah, you need it to wobble when you did. Yeah. Okay, okay.

Beep. I see you. Okay. Oh, my. Oh, boy, look if you won't bar. No. I get that too. Oh, my goodness.

Thanksgiving's terrifying, though, because every family's got that. Like, somebody's passing down. Our family had it this year. My poor cousin Lauren, who's the smartest of all of us, she's like a bona fide pharmacist. I ain't ever met her. She lives in Arkansas. Oh, okay.

She was going to do the crescent rolls that my grandmother always did. Uh-uh, hard pass. you don't do grandmama stuff look when I tell you grandmother's there she passed it on to Lauren bye Alex bye Alex

and I could see it in Lauren's face she was like I'm so nervous that everybody's about to have this crescent roll and she's going to get the side treatment you stink well no because he said it hey you don't do what grandma hey let me hold on

you don't have to love look you don't have to love hey put your mic up there big girl grandmama's having their hand. You don't have the love that grandmamas have. Hold on. You don't. They put it in the food.

I don't know how, but they do. But I think we have a redemption story here. I was nervous for. Yeah. You could tell. It was like a big, because we've always had the homemade crescent rolls. And they came out the oven. I looked at it and I said, boy, that looks right.

Uh-oh. Step one. Step one. You got to pass the vision. Lauren, did you do it? And I, when I tell you, Aced it, maybe even better. I said it.

Grandmother's not listening so I can say it out loud. Lauren's crescent rolls are an upgrade. They were that good. I ate 12 of them. Hey, she didn't roll over in the grade. All she did was mild. The girl got it. The girl got it.

She learned well. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know. We love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Tritels Beef makes such a good product, baby.

Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sal 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 Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while.

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

I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat either, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Well, you gave her good feedback. You know, the Robertson feedback seems harsh to me. And I think it's just honesty and maybe they do make changes and it gets better.

But like when Christine saw Al walk into the restaurant, we were all eating together. She said, Al, Alan. And he said, hey, ain't Chris or whatever he called her. She said, you are getting fat. She hasn't seen him in a while. That's exactly what she said. But how can you, I mean, I would trust that man's dressing. Obviously, it wouldn't from eating dressing.

I feel like we need to let Al at least give his piece of the story. story. Here's what I'll tell you about Al. I won down on him. I'll tell you, I bet Al, out of all the Robertson men, though, I bet Al would admit it. That is true. Al would say, yeah, I probably could have cooked it a little longer. The rest of them would have said, that oven, that dead gum thing, man, I cannot believe. I put it on $3.50, that's stupid oven.

Blame the oven. They'd have blamed anything. No, see, we didn't start on time, so it just sat there in the water from the lid. you know, I mean, it'd have been anything other than just wear it. Too much something. Too much something. Step one. Assess blame.

Step one of Roberts. Immediately. Assess blame. Step two. Transfer said blame. That's right. Blame shift. Get everybody.

Everybody. That's step one. He knows it's true. Well, hey, most of them won't admit they've done it wrong. Yeah. I would, though. Yeah. I do.

I do, too. Yeah. If I shoot three times, a duck don't fall, I just go ahead and say, guess what, boys? I wouldn't on him. I didn't kill doodily squat that time. Doodily squat. All I did was make three loud noises, bam, bam, bam, and nothing failed.

Well, that's unfortunate today. I would have, well, no, I'd probably put my money on Willie being the copycat. No, no, it was his first time. Because, you know, dressing is essentially what Willie's good at. Throw a bunch of stuff in a pot. Goulosh. And watch it come together. because that's exactly how you make dressing.

Throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and watch it coming together. You got to have cornbread, you got to have wrist crackers, the red type. You got to have celery. You got to have celery, bell pepper, onions. The onions are optional. Thank you. I don't like that.

I don't like dressing, I said it. Oh. Just a bunch of carbs. You figure I'll be good at it. Look, I got a four-inch casserole-th thing that I fill up with dressing. It's just like, and I can sit it right here and eat the whole. I will say once I made that dressing last year and brought it up here to prove a point. The sage dressing?

I mean, I still taste the sage from time to time if I belts just right. But, you know, it was good. Like, now I ain't been worried about a witch or no Native American. Boodoo. Yeah, idols. Does Sage protect you from that? I think so. I don't know.

I see them people having over the doors all times. That's why I was in such great shape. Oh, yeah, you give him a healthy belt for the next couple of weeks, and his house is safe, buddy. Hey, you ain't got to. No vampires. Well, hey, it's got to have some. Spiders and bugs.

Okay. Your duck broth, okay, no one of you, duck broth. Because all you've really got in dressing is cornbread, crackers, okay, and bread. French bread, yeah. You know, because I'll take a loaf of bread, put it in. and get it brown on both sides.

And let's say it, and then it just crumbles, and it gives it that color. It's got the brown color. But all that is is bread. Well, hey, if you just eat stewed bread,

eat it up, it ain't got no flavor. Period. Maybe that's my problem. I just been eating warm bread. That's why you have to put the belt, like I doubled my vegetables. Yours was good.

Well, I tell people, I say, hey, this is not for you. I'm not, I'm not this guy. I made this specifically for meat. Pacificly. And atlantically, it is good. And hey, I like a lot of vegetables. And hey, you nailed it. Look, they got, my wife found this two little jars about this tall and about as big

as a silver dollar. Of what? Of sage. Okay. And I put, I, I make too big. casseroes, so I put one in each batch. It was, it's a... Now, it's got a sage flavor.

It's definitely got the flavor. It is sagey, but it's good. I mean, I'm not discounting the fact that it's good. It is good. It's not... It tastes like sage. But it's sad. Hey, I like the flavor.

Yeah. I would call it Sage Ford, but it is good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ate that stuff for like two days of it. Well, no, no. And the dust... I tried. I don't know.

And the ducks were tender. Ducks were great. Yeah. I'm sage adverse. Hey, look, all I did was boil them. I check them. When I grabbed the leg and you can't pick it up. Yeah.

It'll break off. It'll come out of the duck and drop the duck. You know what I like? Ham. Oh, man. That good. You're right. No, no, yeah.

Turkey skin. That was wonderful. Well, you used to when I was a kid. Ham and bacon. For Thanksgiving? All the time. Mom say, hey, go out. smokehouse get a slab of bacon.

Go out there, unhook it, bring it in, she'll slice it. You go out there and get me a slab of bacon. Huh? Will you go out there and get me a slab of bacon, buddy? Oh, boy, you're talking about. I've been duck hunting all the morning. I'm hungry. No, no.

You detoxing from them 18 pies? I know it. Boy, I could eat a whole one right now. All I've eaten today is a pickle just to try and forget about what I did last week. That's all I've had. I've had two packs of peanut butter crackers. and the words of John Gobble, my stomach thinks my mouth went on vacation or whatever he said. That's the road to recovery, though.

I know. But man. Because Christmas is coming. It is. And Lauren going to eat 14 crescent rolls again. I'm staring it down. That's right. I got to get around and say, okay, Al, we'll be at your house.

That's what. And then we'll make the dressing. No, we all have seafood Christmas, though. No, no, no. Oh, no, we're going to make a pot of dressing. There we go. For Christmas, you and Al, make the dressing together

and then we will reconvene and see what Al learned from your wisdom or if you were just mean to him. Because here's the deal because I've already been thinking about it. That big pot that Phil uses and makes dressing all the way up to the top. Mm-hmm. That's big magnolite.

Two of them, that won't have it won't have the flavor of mine that I made. This was good. Yeah, but I know, but most people don't want to even taste to say it. But at least it'll give it flavor.

They don't want yours. Okay. The man loves sage. He does. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Surprisingly, like I don't care if ducks in it or not.

No, no, that's me. Dressing just a girl of chicken. No, no. Yeah, the ducks don't have to be there. The duck is the festive part because it's duck season and like, that's what we do. Well, that's just for presentation. My mother-in-law makes, I mean, she does dressing well, and we usually get ducks

from Si. And, I mean, she's, she's an awesome. tough year on them rascals. Yeah. It's hard to make duck and dressing. Without. Oh, hey, it's a workout. Without ducks.

Well, no, no, no, you got to have it for the broth. I know. That's the only thing that duck is. You have ducks to have the broth. Yeah. Yeah, we're just talking. I'm just talking about the process of acquiring said ducks this season. It's an old-fashioned.

Have you been hunting anymore, Si? Any more duck hunting? Oh, yeah. I hunted a lot. Yeah, this first split, did you? Yeah. Oh, yeah, he hunted. I hunted with him like three times.

Is it been good? I was. I was. with them. Okay, on the morning when we killed the 32, which I killed about 15 of them. Oh, God.

Oh, yeah. He killed six. Oh, yeah. I didn't kill 15. I killed my limit. Hey, our friends, the Gar Commanders are now duck hunters. They're out there trudging it, man.

Oh, I bet they are earning it, too, with a river as low as it is. They've shot once. Oh, no, there's plenty of ducks on the river. They shot once. All Thanksgiving break. I want to hug them. Because the ducks ain't there.

Shot, shot a shell. That's a tough. They didn't admit that. Their mom came by and bought them some Christmas presents. I said, how's the duck hunting going?

She goes, oh, they won't tell you, but it's one shot. I shot two shells. Who? Oh, what'd you shoot that?

Darts. Oh, okay. Did you kill one? Hold on. Did Dungeons and Dragons Hunter just chime in with the I've shot two shells? You are so interesting.

Did you hunt with a Wendell? I did. Oh, y'all. What'd y'all kill? A few woodies? Not many. Oh. When I say a few goodies, that means something different.

I was excited because there was a lot of shoot. Look at his eyebrows. There was a lot of misses. Oh, that's all right. I didn't even go on. The first time I ever went duck hunting and I shot a duck, Martin acted like we just won the Super Bowl. Yeah.

Every time we shot a duck and we shot about 30 of them. Yeah. And he was fired. And now he's like, just get them in there. there and just watch them. We wasn't filming then. Set a handica? Yeah, I don't care.

I just stare at them now. I killed me enough of them, but I, that's whatever. I took my bride this morning, which was fun. Brittany went. So, mom kept the boys. So that was a fun, fun morning. First milder drink of the morning. I put her on an island.

I said, kill that thing. I mean backpedaling. Payao. Payao. Payao. Oh, no. Here he went. Oh.

Oh, I got, I got tickled. Poor Brittany. Yeah, she said, she said, don't you make fun of me. I don't get to do this much as you. I said, I ain't making fun of this. I just thought it was funny. I said, look, I wouldn't nobody in this blind going to shoot that first one except for you. So it was fun, though, but the next one come here, she killed him.

So it's good. Yeah. But that first one, I was like, boy, look at that big rascal, would you? Nope. He got a wild story to tell. He got something else. He better be thankful for. Well, I did a lot of shooting, but it wasn't at any ducks.

What did you shoot? So my son, Bryson, I had all my kids at the house. I've got three adult children, and they're all here. He came in from the U.K., he's in the Air Force. And in 2018, or 19, when he was at LSU, he had a Zwindow broken out, and they stole his pistol, his glot. And I got a call a couple years ago that they had found his Glock, and it was in the evidence room.

but it took me two years to finally get it. Where did they get it? Who had it? It was down in Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge. Yeah. Evidence room. But it was pretty cool because we celebrated his Christmas and birthday while he's at the house.

And I gave him that gun back and he was happy to get it. There you go. That's cool. That's awesome. That's cool. Got it back. So I got a question for you. Yep.

You know, we stay out of politics for the most part. Oh, Lord. But. Hold on. Did you see what our current president do? No. Oh. Did you see that he basically did exactly what he said he wouldn't do?

What's that? Pardon his son? Now, I just got to know. Oh, I'm legitimately. Oh, I heard about that. I'm legitimately curious. This is not President Trump that did it. Well, no, he ain't there yet.

Oh, I know. Yeah, he's on his way there, but he ain't tear yet. Yeah. No, Mr. Biden, President Biden. Pardon this. Look, I'm just curious. I don't care. I don't want to go down the political road.

Just curious. Cy Robertson, your president. My take on that? No, but you're president. Yeah, and Scott did something. And Scott did something. Yeah, that's a face issue. I was just curious.

Hey, yeah, that's a face issue. I'm with you. That's the way I raised both about you. I mean, I've never had that power, so I don't. but I like to think the way I am now. Yeah, man, you got to figure it out. Well, no, no, because you're not doing him any favors. No, now.

Okay, because hey, guess what he's going to do? Something worse. He's going to do it again or do something worse. Yeah, it generally leads to a level of. Somebody else catches him, guess what? Yeah. So you're not doing him any favors by doing that. I'm just curious.

We're all fathers, right? Yeah. So I just was legitimately curious. And we're all sons. Yeah. If I was 100. I would have had to have hoped Jill was president. Big Dave would have just hung me out to drive.

Yeah, you need a Jan in their running thing. Yeah, if I always knew if I got arrested, call mom. Something serious like that, I'm probably with Si, you know. You just, you can't say that. Well, you could do a hundred different things, right? You could commute a sentence, like, after he goes to jail or whatever. But to just pardon it straight off the rip, I just feel like that's a...

Well, you're teaching him, you're teaching him that, hey, you're not. you're above the law. And not only go. And that was taught to him long time ago. And not only that, you're just being a bold-faced liar. I have opinions that I... You're enabling him. He ain't enabling nothing.

He's in on it. I said it. Oh, there it is. There's my political opinion. I'll tell you what I can relate it to. And it's not really apples to apples, but when I was an umpire at Green Road, me and my two brothers...

You know, close to apples to apples now. Green Road... umpiring and presidency and the Ukraine and murder. All of you think you got too much power. So my little cousin come up to bat and he wouldn't swing the bat and it's right down the middle. Boom. One, boom. Strike two.

And the next one is right down the middle just bow. And he just looked at me and I said, ball. No, no, I said ball. And another one comes down in the middle. Ball and the fan started yelling. I said, hey son, swing the bat. and the next time he swung and he struck out. But I was like, without thinking about it, I was just like,

oh, let me, I'll just give him a little. You know, come on. Maybe that's what Joe was doing. He was having some ice cream. He was like, what's my kid's name? Somebody told him, and then he was like, yeah, let's let him. Not to swing or swing at a baseball. It's a way different.

It's a way different. But it's stealing money and, hey, that's, no. Yeah, that's major stuff now. Consequences, a little different. Yeah, for sure. They're all in all. on it together. I'm that guy.

My ten full hats on. I think they're all in on it together. Something bad happened. And if it all comes out, I was just curious, man. I was just, when I saw that, I was like,

as a father and a new, relatively new father, my kids are two. I was like, just put you in that spot. Like, what would you do? You know,

you won't have to make that decision because yours are not going to grow up like that. You know, they're just not. Yeah, we hope not. I wouldn't think so. Well,

you can't say that. Yeah. Well, I don't know. You train them how they should. You teach them and train them, and they're going to come back to the Lord. Well, you know. Yeah. Yeah, I just, I don't know.

When I read that as a father, I was curious. And again, I'm not trying to. Well, you being a hypocrite, them, whatever, you know. Especially when you say you're not going to do it. But yeah, the point, the point being is explicitly during all of that, I will not do this. I will not do this. Yeah. On my way out the door.

Merry Christmas, pal. I mean, I guess he doesn't. I guess he's off the hook for Christmas. And nobody can stop him or do anything about it. Yeah, no, he can't do nothing about it. Unless there's something else they haven't charged him with. And then the next guy gets in there and they recharge him. And then he goes trial for something else.

But generally speaking, I've noticed when people get away with stuff like that, it generally escalates to what else can I get away with? Oh, no. You generally end up where you're wrong. You're not doing them a favor. Yeah. Okay, because you're saying, okay, buddy, it's okay. Yeah.

Well, guess what? Being human, I got away with it. Got to run it one more time. I got to try it again. Yeah. No, you're right. They ain't going to get me this time.

Yeah. I learned. Next time he's going to say, hey, dad, guess what I got away with? A new laptop. Yeah. No. I got a new laptop recently.

My old laptop is still at the place. Oh, man. They're cracking into that thing like it's Hunter Biden's. No, no. No, no. Good news is they just quit. So he ain't got worried about looking into it anymore.

Who quit? No, I'm just saying I ain't looking into that laptop anymore. No, that's true. It can't. Nothing matters. Speaking of stuff,

lies and truths. I spent water all down my face. Si, I got an email from Micah. From Micah? And where's from? Micah is from Kentucky. Kentucky. And he's worried about a story

he's heard not being totally truthful. Kind of like, who told it? Oh, well, who? Ah. Sy Robertson.

He was a huge job. He's a kid had all the gear. He's getting more into duck hunting, but he has Uncle Size's books and he's read them. And he needs to know what part of this story is the lie. It was 5% of this story a lie. Side, did your shoes actually catch on fire from running so fast? No.

But here's the deal. There's a deal, though. But I did run so fast and hard. that, hey, the rubber was sticking to the asphalt when I was walking on it. So they didn't. It had got to the point it melted a little. Well, that's your own asphalt. Yeah.

Oh. I got it. It hit me really fast. So you claim. Got me without me knowing. That whole story. What were you running from in that story? Wolves.

Wolves. Wolves. They was actually. I've heard this one. so many times. No, no, look, they was actually a story. We can tell a story. They was actually coyotes.

Coyotes. Because it was in what? Vietnam? No, this was like 65, 64. There was a bunch of them, huh? Oh, no, no, they got so bad. Look, there was 50 and 100 to a pack.

And they were pulling down. They was killing grown, full grown bulls, and then eating them. So the farmers all got together and brought in the trappers. And it wasn't nothing for us to go on the school bus every morning. Go drive down the highway, look on the fence line. 350, what they caught in traps that the other night. 350 coyotes?

Yeah, 350 coyotes. That's a wacky. Oh, hey, a pack of them got after me. Now, if they're taking down full-grown bulls and eating them, what in the world are they chasing your wormy stuff? I don't know. They must have thought you was a female coyote. They were trying to.

Appetiser. Cartier did, and I outrun them. And look, I'm telling you, if I ever had a coach with a stopwatch on me, I would hold every running record from the 40-yard dash to the 10-mile marathon. Tyree kid. Because I run about 10 miles. Did you throw up at the end? No.

But your shoes. I'm about to die, though. We're melted. From lack of oxygen. But his shoes were sticking to that. That's right. But my shoes had got so hot. now they put their tennis shoes

they had out of rubber okay they had got so hot that when I walked on the pavement it was actually it's like a suction cup boys was it in wintertime oh yeah

it's tough son hey he had to be tough in that day and they chased you for 10 miles 10 miles you probably picking them up and letting them down son I was he looked like Forrest Gump

I'm just trying to think what that lead Coyote was thinking but it wasn't in the wintertime you're wrong oh it was in the summertime because we were standing out in trout lines the truth is coming out one fraction at a time

school well it was in September because school was open school had just started that's what it was fall we'll land in the fall well no no because I went with Phil and his buddies okay the football players

Mm-hmm. Okay. And since I was the youngest, they made me go across the river in the boat, and then they made a round trip in the car. Did you start a fire? No, I didn't have no matches. That's why they started chasing me. Look, I crossed the river in a boat, tied the boat up.

You know, they're on the other side, wait until I get everything tied up and everything. Okay. We'll be there in, you know, hour or two, you know. So look, I go in and I don't even know where I'm at, okay? This is in the wilderness. We're 40 miles from anywhere. And look, there's a little circle by big of this room, okay, in the woods. Okay, so I'm sitting there, it's getting dark.

Well, right at dark, one sticks his head out on the other side. Just one. Just one. Well, then another stick his head out, I do another one. Well, hey, I take off running. and 10 miles later Hey and 10 miles later Hey

The asphalt road in the middle of the wilderness Well hey I'll tell you what I did My shoes were so hot They only read 10 miles but they're 40 miles from anywhere Hey no hey You start breaking down the math And this one it struggles My shoes were so hot though

That I did rain There's water in the ditch I did step in the water and a little smoke come off of what I did. You reckon that could have made them sticky? He's a storyteller, not a mathematician. Micah, thank you for that email. When I saw it, I said, you know, I hadn't heard that story in a minute.

My goodness gracious. 40 miles from anywhere, ran 10 miles. I just wondered what that first coyote thought. He peaked through them bushes and he said, I got to have it. What is it? There ain't enough to go around here. What is it? Keep looking. That was self-preservation.

They saw a. Man, they knew was going to get all of them. Oh, hi. I got a call coming in from Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Ontario, Canada. Oh, hi. I don't know. I got my only Canadian I know is here.

Uh-oh. Yes, you're out across hall over. Oh, man, that makes me giggle. Wow, what a life. Si, and is 95% true. Mm-hmm. The 5% is the math. Oh my goodness

Oh, I love you That was one about weakest subjects You don't say That's funny Oh, that's good Thank you, Micah, for a trip down memory lane Thank you for that Speaking of a trip down memory lane

What else you got there, Big Hammer? I got a lot of questions about this photo Oh I only want to show half of it Because Phil Yeah Who you hang out with there?

That? And white overall and no t-shirt. Now that is Dirk DeMoss. With a giant fish. There's about 10 of us that get together every year since we were in seventh or eighth grade. We've been friends. And we go fishing down in the Gulf.

And that is about a 120 pound. Tuna. Yellowfin tuna. Oh, I thought you were talking about the guy. Yellowfern tuna. No. Now, that's just because he's helping, you know, bait all the stuff and do all the work. Now, me, I'm in shorts and T-shirt.

Yeah, Philip looked like a tourist. That's right. I've been fishing, you've been fishing with me before, Martin. Here, reel this, Martin. Yeah, he looked like a tourist. Did you catch that? Yes, but the boat catches it

because you can only reel so much and then you've got to pass it off. I mean, it will tear your shoulder out. When it comes to tuna fishing, if you ain't ever big, you catch the first one by yourself because you need to experience what that's about. After you've caught one,

no, it's team effort because we all taking them stakes on. That's exactly right. I got nothing else to prove. That is a huge. It was a good. That was a big one. And we caught four.

And look, if you catch one, it's a big deal. Yeah. If they go crazy, we caught four, and one of them was 170 pounds. Why my man got a shirt on them? That's the question I asked. Because it's hot and he's working. I mean, you know, this is Bluewater down in Venice, Louisiana. Y'all check them out.

That's their name? Bluewater. Oh, you're wearing a shirt? Oh, you bought that at the pro shop. Okay. That's right. Okay, you really are being a tourist. Hey.

It was fun. That's funny, man. Hey, I like a big fish. And hey, it was good eating. That's about, what, six foot long? No. Phillip ain't even standing up. He don't scare six.

But he's big. I ain't trying to be mean. That's observation. Yeah. Y'all laughing. What are you about five, nine? Martin is not afraid to make an observation on a human being. Five, nine.

You heard what he said about the coffee kid. Hey, stop it. At least I said it too then. Yeah, I mean, you say it to their face. You just make observation. I'm a biologist, man. He don't backside them. He front-sides them.

You observe, and you're like, wow. And state it out loud. John, do you got the other one that I sent you? Is that different fish? Yeah. Oh, boy. The other one's a little bit. Oh, you got to Google something.

What's them glasses? That one right there. Is them glassed is Costa del Alicia or what? You get them from your wife? Yeah, I did. Wait, I didn't notice. Hey, Google. Let's just pick apart feels up here.

Yeah, go ahead. I like the boots, start with the boots. So what's with the other one? Oh, them boots is extra tough. They're all the going ready. Where'd you buy them, Phil? Those are cowboy glasses.

I got them from Uncle Si. Gas station. I ran into Jace at the gas station before I got here, at the one with the sandwich shop. Was it the happiest part of your day? Daily Press. Well, I was talking to some other guys. We all grew up together.

Jace walked in and goes, Hey, boys, who's going to start singing? And I was like, man, Jason's in a happy mood. He about started a little. worship right there in the daily press. A little barbershop quartet. I was like, well, not me. There you go.

See you later. Oh, man. He was probably going to your shop to buy some more crickets to go poach his brother's pond again. He bought a bunch that day. He should be safe. He should be okay. Oh, man, Hunter.

Do we have voicemail? Or is that something we're doing still? Voice mails 318. Yep. That is the area code that you should call. When trying to call. is you want to start with a 318. And then after that, 215-65-9,

I legitimately know the My Pillow number better than I know our own voicemail. But 318, 215-655-59, and Hunter will listen to it and then maybe play it. And we'll try and guess where you're from based on your accent and how much you weigh. But do you have any? Yeah, I got it.

Okay, cool. We ain't done this in a minute. I like this. I've hit a couple emails already this episode. I love it. All right. I'm going to pause this one towards the end because that's when they say what they are.

Perfect. Perfect. Let's hear it. Hey, guys. My name's Tatum, and I'll wait until the end to tell you where I'm from. Tatum. My question is, what is your go-to gas station snack or drink that you always pick up on a road trip?

I got you. Anyways, I love you guys and I love the podcast. Michigan. No, that's, Michigan people don't eat gas station snacks. Tennessee? Kentucky Kentucky It's something

You know It's not fancy She sounds Of the gas station She sounds so normal Like I'm perplexed Why she's calling us Yeah

That's Hey my name's Tatum I got a great degree And I'm a normal person Just not used to it I live in a gated neighborhood But I do go to gas stations Is why I listen to y'all

I'm going to go with Georgia Okay Like Atlanta Or something like that I'm saying like Michigan Michigan. He's sticking with Michigan. Okay. What is? I'm from

Cleveland, Tennessee. Oh, who had Tennessee? Dang, ding. I finally got one. I said North Georgia. Cleveland, Tennessee. Just north of Chattanooga. I know right where Cleveland, Tennessee is. I've shopped at that Target and ate at that chick filet

and all the things. Man, memory like, all right, go to gas station snack. Uh, man, I wish like hot snack or any snack, like gas station with a deli or? See, that's the problem, Tatum. Or just gas station, period. Here, gas stations are full bore restaurants. So we would say fried chicken thighs. Yeah.

No, no, I will say fried chicken. That's what I'd say. Yeah, because I mean, I think she means like a normal people's gas station. Like a snack. Every time I stop me and Sire somewhere, he says, go in and get me some what? Kids. Yeah. Potato cheese?

Or no, pork rinds. They have to be the hot ones. Yeah, hot ones. It used to be Fritos and he got off of that. He used to eat chili cheese fritos all the time. Yep. Yep. Yep.

Yeah, if we're just talking about basic snacks, I always go to that little cold section. And if they have one of those cheese witches, smashing that every time. Salami and pepper jack cheese, the two pieces of pepperjack cheese with salami in the middle. And then generally some sort of nut, peanuts, cashews, something like that.

I get a Hershey bar with almonds. That's what I eat. And then I get his snack for him. I get whatever beef jerky I can find, but nowadays I get, not that, not like the weird pickle that you got in the gas, the concession stand in a bag. Oh, no, the slice one. The good one.

Yeah. That high dollar pickle. No, what is it? It's like, oh, snap. Oh, snap. That's it. I eat an oh snap pick. I walk to the gas station every day and get an oh snap pickle and an energy drink.

Well, you're like, Co-Snap pickle. Yeah. With Spears. Oh, yeah. But the, oh, snap. These are like sliced deal pickles. And they're thick. I'm thinking about buying a bunch of them and making fried pickles out of the

O snap pickles because I think that would be life changing. They may be tough to crisp up though because they are thick. But I want to say, you know, you never know until you try. Yeah. No, I've eaten a many of O snap pickles. O snap pickles legit. I've also eaten a many of gas station boiled eggs. So like the little two packs of boiled eggs.

You don't want to ride, buddy. No. That's fine. Yeah, by yourself. And I always drink Power 8-Zero because generally if I'm on the road, I'm not drinking a bunch. I'm a propelle guy.

I'm trying to stay hydrated. He wouldn't even give you a courtesy role. Hydration is Martin's most important feature. It really bothers me because I know if I get dehydrated, that left big toe is going to cause me a lot of grief. And I ain't trying to. Martin has been hydrated since I've known. I ain't trying to get that GEO.

No. Amen. I try to avoid that like the plague. But I'm going to quit on voicemails. I finally got one wrong. I'm getting this next one right Hunter. Hi, Hunter.

He could do it. Pecan or pecan? Pecan. I asked Michael Waddell at one time, because he calls them pecans now, you know, but. Hey, there ain't no can on a pecan. No, but I asked him and he said, well, he said, I called them pecans until I bought this pecan orchard.

Yeah, you sleep in and hey, y'all, you can sleep a week. And I got Hey, I got a verse for out now. I will take him to school,

old boys, and the next time it'll be excellent. I got a verse for Al. He's got a verse, boys. Because he's probably worried to death

of how you're going to treat him at Christmas. Al, 1 Peter 5, 7, he's big enough. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Amen.

And your dressing. And I use a poker term. Look, most human beings don't realize it. When it comes to human beings, the Trinity, they go all in for the humans.
