Are we ready? Are you good, Hunter? Filmed in front of a live studio audience in Westman Row, Louisiana. The duck call room. Welcome back. Huh? Let's say stop screaming. I thought you said you were ready.

You blew out the mic. Filmed in front of a live studio audience in Westman Road, Louisiana. What was that guy? It was Bob Barker? Come on. Johnny Olson. Yeah, I want to be that guy today. Bob Barker.

Come on. The duck call room was filmed in front of a live studio audience. We got an audience today. We do have an audience. Bob Barker was Price is right, right? Yeah. You keep looking at me. My mother won that.

That is a true state. Both show worth taking. Both. We got enough to talk about today. We got a lot to talk about. Kevin Peel, if you're listening to this, which I doubt you do, I'm ignoring you.

Kevin Pell, you're being. But he's a good time. Bye, Kevin. He's a good phone conversation. If y'all need somebody to talk to, I ought to give out his number. How funny with that. That would be clever.

But probably, yeah, no, he's too mean, though. He'll come up for something more diabolical. He'll get you back like Willie does. Yeah, that's a tough one. But we do have an audience today. We do. We do. Which is always one of my favorite podcast that we do whenever we just have friends,

strangers, just people we meet somewhere. And we're like, hey, come watch us go. And you'll see that we're not lying when we say we have no plan and no idea what we're going to do. That's true. And then they're like, wow, that was weird. And we're like, yep. So who did you bring? Oh, I brought the furthest guest in the history of guests.

Philip, I don't remember this episode because it was so long ago. Okay. But I have an email right here from December 15th, 2020, a year ago. Okay. His name is Andrew. He's from rural Ireland. Mm-hmm. And he listened to the duck call room that year for 101,949.

minutes. Wow. And we did a whole thing last year about that. And I think he was by far the winter. Like there was a couple other 60,000s, but rural Ireland took it. And we said, hey, if you're ever in West Monroe, come see us and stop by. Well, guess who's in West Monroe? He walked in the honeyhole this morning. All right. You should hear him talk. Hey, let's get him on here. Yeah, come here. Come here. I was fixed to ask you. Come here. Where is rural Ireland? That's in the outskirts of Ireland. So this is Andrew. Rural.

Andrew emailed me a month ago, and he said he's coming. I was just kind of waiting to see. And then this morning, somebody walked in that his voice does not match the rest. Andrew? How's it going? Hey? He full of blood, son. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. So, Andrew, you're a carpenter. Yep. Yep. And you listen to us, do you still listen to us that much? Yeah. I have, I just listen to you in my headphones all day. That Irish man has Si playing in his head all day.

Oh yeah. Yeah, you got stories, don't. You don't want to see him. Yeah. My headphones. Okay. If Si is welcome in your head, that's a good one there. So, Andrew, I guess my question is why?

I mean, I don't. Why us, Andrew? Why not? Yeah. Why not? Why not? Why not, mate? I'm just curious.

Like, what about us is like, you're like, I'm not turning these guys off because 101,000 minutes. Quick math says that's a lot of hours, which also, by the way, you work a lot of hours. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. Self-employed.

Okay. So what, what are you, your carpenter? What's your specialty? Anything? Everything. Everything. I'll go in, I'll, I'll, I'll go in and I'll build your house from start to finish. Oh, okay.

So framing and everything. You do it all. And all the way to finishing. All the way to cabinetry and everything. Okay. Well, you would, would you consider yourself a master carpenter? Yeah. Okay.

Well, no, no, I'm just saying. As far as the Irish are concerned, he is. We got a real good friend of mine that's a carpenter. Right. Okay. And he helped Phil, which anything my brother has built is, is never square. Yeah. Okay. So, so we got it, you know, Mack Owens is a master carpet. Yes. So he built all of our duck blind, you know, and everything was square.

So Phil didn't like it. He said, hey, it's a duck blind son. It can't be square. The ducks to recognize it. Yeah. Nothing in nature square. There's no right angles in there. Yeah, no right angle. That's all, you know, that's the number one line of a poor carpenter. Yeah. Nothing in nature square.

Yeah. Because he'd come up with a ride out of ill one time. He said, hey, boys. You know, we started building the blind. And he said, we're going to make this so big that, no, a duck would never say that's the duck blind. Yeah. But look, we had, we actually had three duck blinds in one. Right.

Okay. We had a kitchen. We had bedrooms. You know, we had a whole night. Yard. Okay, this thing was a monstrosity. Have you ever built a duck blind? I have not. Are you allowed to hunt ducks in Ireland? I don't know. He's not a hunter. He's a carpenter. He's a carpenter. He's a carpenter. That's fine. There's not much hunting in Ireland. There's not much. Okay, thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. I could tell you. He's a lot like Godwin, except from a different countries, I really struggle. Yeah, well, and maybe that's why I understand him, because he is a lot like Galvin. That's what I said to Johnny D. earlier.

I said, I feel like I'm the honorary Godwin. Yeah. So I'm so much smaller than the rest he is and I come with subtitles. Hey, I answer to your question. I know why he listened to us. Why? Because we're impressive. Are we?

Yeah. So I wouldn't go with that. I mean, I don't know how long he listened to us, but hey, it was a long time. All of them. Hey, we must be doing something right. Well, what I learned about my new friend, Andrew, new old. friend. We just met in person for the first time. Andrew, you want to know

the other thing he did in the United States while he's here? You're not going to guess it. Where he just came from? Hold on. Not very Irish. It's not very Irish. Marlago. Incorrect. You got to go further west. He just came from

Vegas. You got married? No. He went with a giant rodeo in Vegas. Oh, the NFL. Oh, so you are a redneck just displaced in Ireland. That's, yeah, that's what I like to think. Okay. Friend, you went from Ireland to Vegas for a rodeo and then said, you know where I need to go next?

West Monroe, you are a redneck. But, you know, if you're... Oh, yeah, the national. Oh, yo, PBR or national. But if you're from Ireland, like, Louisiana's pretty close to Vegas. I mean, in the grand scheme of thing. It's not that far out of the way when you've gone that far. Once you're this committed, like, so where, okay, you've, I'm guessing you're,

flew from Ireland to Vegas? Yeah, we flew to Vegas and then we flew from Vegas to Dallas. Oh, okay. And then we hired a car in Dallas and drove. Okay. And then you're going back to Dallas to fly home? When are you going home? Um, Friday. Friday, okay, so be home for Christmas. Yeah. Okay. That's cool, man. That's awesome. That is. That is wild, man. Well, because we've invited a lot of people on and they never show up. Steve Harvey. They ain't been here yet. Shaquille O'Neal. Still ain't come. Oh, no, no, no. Dave Harvey would be a hoot.

But my man, Andrew, you had to do the most work to get here, and I thank you for it, sir. Yeah, that's all. So who's with you, Andrew? Because there's a lovely lady over here. My wife, Chantelle. Chantel, okay. All right, there you go.

How long y'all been married? Was it? Two years? Huh? Oh, okay. 2020. He's already rounding up. He said two years.

Look, he's baking on the future. She said, not so fast. I love it. She said, we ain't here yet. She said, you just brought me from Ireland to Vegas to the paper mill. You know what? This is my holiday. He found Paula.

Yeah. Oh, there you go. This is my holiday, my vacation, because normally we go to Orlando. Oh, really? The Disney World. Okay. That's what she likes. Obsessed with Disney.

Well, we are definitely not Mickey Mouse. So, Shantel, I'm sorry. sorry, but you're doing the Lord's work here supporting your man on this. She really is. My hat's off to you. You better keep her around for the long haul if she was willing to go to Vegas for a rodeo and then West Monroe. And they're hanging out in Fort Worth.

Nothing says romance like cow manure and a paper mill. Oh, yeah. That's where Andrew's taking her. What we have here is an Irish cabinet maker that's also a cowboy. Yes. At heart. At heart. Yeah.

Have you ever ridden a horse? Yeah. Okay. Bull? No. No, none of that. He said, I'd love, I'd love to, I'd love to try the saddle bronch riding on the bearback riding. You would try that?

I'd love to try it, yeah. I don't ride the bull, I saw it. And you speak it. You talk a lot of it. That's what I said. I throw it, boy. You'd punch him at the head and kill him. So you're, you're an adrenaline junkie.

Okay, yeah, you're an adrenaline junkie. Well, yeah, he has sigh in his head all day. He's trying to find ways. out. Oh, well, let me tell you something. If you say, you know what, I'll get on a saddle bronc and you ain't ever done it, you're an adrenaline junkie. I won't even look at a horse without a fence between us.

That's like a drag race car, but with real horse power. Yeah. That's a real horse under power. You're talking about getting size heads. Yeah. When Stone, actually, you know, we've got, I've got an audio book. Oh. Oh, yeah.

Stone is the one that's done it. That was funny. Okay. And look, he still says he hasn't got over it yet. It's a long time. He said he's still struggling with some of the issues that it caused it. Yeah, that's the day he started drinking. Oh, boy.

I'm thinking of it. No, stop it. That's not true. That is true. I'm serious. I just remembered. 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 because of our friends over. at Tritels beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say,

buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with 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'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 Trial's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat.

She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. If I make it back to Ireland, I've been over there really close and had a typical Irish breakfast, which was like beans, tomatoes, and eggs, which was weird. But when you come from a very pork-based breakfast, does the United States. You have a different kind of bacon.

Yeah. It's not bacon. No, it's ham. Yeah, it's a back. Bacon. Yeah. But what, so what are, what are your Irish folks known for? Like your cuisine, like the meal of Ireland is.

Because them Scottish folks got that haggis. Yeah. That stuff's trash. Stereotypical Irish dinner would be bacon and cabbage. So. Bacon and cab. Yeah, a boiled ham. Okay.

Ham and cabbage. I can get behind that. Or, When I was in Ireland, I ate a bunch of roast beef on, like, mashed potatoes and carrots. They were down with that. Oh, okay. And then, like, one of their beers would fill you up for, like, the next week. They were very heavy.

Very heavy. It was not a natty light. Yeah. No, we don't drink late beer. Yeah. That's very... That's very American. Their beer is, like, 10% of alcohol.

As is 2%. Well, one of my favorite ones that I ever had, I don't really drink much anymore, but... A smitics, which is called... Smittics! It's called Irish ale or something. It's really good. You don't pronounce the W. Yeah, Smittix.

I know this because I was in Ireland in college and there was a couple wild nights in Ireland. So much so I named my dog Dublin. There you go. And I said one day Andrew's coming to visit me. That's the largest city in the world. Hey, Andrew, I didn't know that. You didn't know that question for you, Andrew?

Uh-oh. I want to know after all the listening to this podcast, what are some things that really stood out to you? Uh-oh. Well, there's one thing that for the last two or three years, I've really wanted to say it to say. Go ahead, buddy. Shoot your shot. Good question.

Tacos. Taco. Oh, Christine. He's a big fan of the Christine episode. Taco. That's funny. We were eating spaghetti. No.

Taco. No, we went. I did not know where you were going. I love. I love it. So people in Ireland, we'll let you get out of here a minute. But I just got to know, have y'all ever seen Black Panthers over there? Y'all got any mysterious large black felines that people claim to see, but they really haven't. No, but I saw something when we were driving last night.

Oh, no. Oh, no. We were driving down the inner stair and there was something. No. Off in the bush. Really? Yeah. He's a believer now. What is Ireland's?

famed, y'all don't have the Sasquatch. Do you have a roo-garoo? No, nothing. And Lockness is over in that other country. Yeah. We don't talk about that. Do it look something like this? Yeah, well, something like that.

Hey. It was large, dark. I rest my case. Andrew, every time you're in West Monroe, you're welcome with me and sigh. You want to know what that says? That even after 100,000 minutes, osmosis is real.

You got him believing he's seeing things. He ain't seeing. after that long. No, it's an internationally recognized animal now. Hey. Hey, there was a mountain line just killed in what? Outside of Kilgord, Texas. Well, I've never...

Run over by... Run over by a truck. Have I ever once argued with you about the presence of mountain lions here? Well, if there's mountain lions, then there's black panther. Then it stands the reason that some of be black. Hey, thank you.

Thomas says, books that, boys. Ah. The only difference is, one of them is black. and one of them is tear-colored. Okay. I mean, a malignite is actually two-tone. Chantelle, did you see this?

She was sleeping. See, this is how most of these things happen. Well, that's never two witnesses. Yeah, no, never. Okay, never. And eyewitnesses are no good. And you say, well, did you have a camera? Well, you wouldn't have been quick enough

to take the picture of it anyhow. That is a good point. There you go. I was trying to drive down the wrong side of the road so I couldn't take a picture. Hey there you go that

clip that one hunter yeah I don't know I don't know we you're right you're driving and seeing stuff yeah it's hard to take your word

for anything now that I remember we're trying to drive down the road in a small house in a small house very large vehicles over here

oh yeah very large I saw it Because it had Texas, it's like a F-250. It's a, what is it, it's Silverado, 1,500. Oh, okay. Oh, shabby. He had a big old truck and I was, and, yeah, you probably had a, what,

the yacht got a big truck. Huh? I couldn't come to America and not get a big truck. Oh, there you go, yeah, that's a good point, especially a carpenter. Imagine how much stuff you put in. Oh, yeah. I have one at home, but it's half that side?

Yeah, if even. I once got hit. That's a big truck at home. Okay, and that's a big one. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I got you. So y'all drive on the other side of the road?

Yeah. Which one of us is right? Well, we sit on the right side of the vehicle. Oh, so everything was backwards for you. No, bro. They all got mail trucks over there. Oh, really? Yeah.

They don't have regular. They just got all our mail trucks shipped them over there, and that's how they've been driving. Well, the stairwell is on the right side. Well, if you look at it this way, right, Henry Ford is the father of the modern automobile. Yeah. Henry Ford is from Cork. It's an Irishman.

Oh, okay. So we sit on the right side of the car. Yeah. Do you get what I'm saying? So we're right because Henry Ford is Irish. Oh. But he put it on the other side. I know.

He put it in the middle. That sounds like, I don't know where this is. He's in the middle? Yeah. It's only on the right. if you own the right side. Oh, man. Here's the deal.

I'm going whichever way I'm told to because I don't want to face oncoming traffic. There you go, yeah. I think that's the... Interesting. The crux of the story. I love it. Irish.

So you're Irish. What do you think of haggis? You like it? Not too bad. Oh, really? Black pudding. You tried black pudding when you were over there. Yeah, I tried that too.

What? Yeah, it wasn't all good. Black pudding. Yeah. Blood pudding. Blood pudding. Oh, even worse. Yeah, it wasn't no good either.

I'm out on all the things. Hey, why you're this close? Can I offer you a chance at a detour? Yeah. Ed from here and go south to a little town called Lafayette. Yeah. On your way back to Dallas. You're going to go into a gas station down there and you'd say, I want some boot-in.

Oh, yeah. And you'll never, you'll never touch that haggis again. You'll say, yep, them boys got it right. Yeah. Then every time y'all be going to Orlando and then swinging by Lafayette to get some boot in. I might. I'm trying to. think if I have some.

Oh, but you flew into DFW. So did you, now I got to know as an Irishman. What did you think of a little place called Buckees? Have you been to a Buckees? I had to stop at Buckees. I had to. Yeah. Just talk about it enough.

I had to stop. You had to or you have to? We had to. We stopped on the way. Yeah. What did you think? For those driving down the road, this is. He can't even describe it.

This Irishman has never seen anything like that. No, me and my wife walked in, I turned to her and I said, are they confused? Like, this is a, it's a petrol station, it's a gas station, but you can get clothes and a frying pan and. I had to know, because I know going to DFW, there's the, the Buckees at Terrell or whatever. That's the one, too. That's my favorite one. So that's why I was like, oh, did you stop or are you going to stop on the way back? 450,000 gas pumps out the front.

How much you spend in there? And they're always full. Yeah, he got to get back to work a little early because he got some carpenter. He got to do after a bucky stop. After a bucky stop. After a weekend in Vegas and a bucky stop? Yeah, he got some work.

I've never thought about somebody that drives like a little car showing up to Buckees for the first time because they're from a different country and having their mind blown. Yeah. I can still see it in his eyes. Was that today? No, when was that?

That would have been yesterday. Yeah. Oh, wow. Brescott. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Hey, look, I've never been inside one. No? No.

He's not allowed. There's certain people. That ain't the reason, but, hey, I've never, hey, we wanted something to eat, you know, and I said, well, Bucky's served real good food. So we pulled in there, and I said, I ain't going in there. there's four people

there's a hundred thousand people in this stupid thing I'll never get out of here because everyone of everybody in a Buckees is a big fan of you sir yeah target market achieved yeah there's like three people

that can't go into Buckees you Larry the cable guy and Donald Trump and yeah and maybe Joe Exotic and those are the four that if you go in you're taking pictures for the rest of your life

like that's it My man, what Joe excited. Oh, gosh, somebody. Well, Andrew. Buddy, it's been a pleasure. Thank you so much. You stopped in. Thank you very much for having me.

Oh, you bet. Hey, we invited you a year ago. Yeah. You showed up. If we ever invite you, Charles, Barclay, if you're listening, we mean it. So, Charles, yeah. I came, what, like 4,000 miles or something. Yeah.

He can come an hour or two down the road. Yeah, there you go. But, hey, next time you're on holiday in Orlando, you know, just slide on up. Oh, yeah. It's not near as far as Dublin. But for real, people like you that do listen to us, we say jokes like why, because we don't get it. But we appreciate all of you. Andrew is your leader now, for those of you listening that much.

A brooch is a couple of bits from Ireland. They're out in the truck. I'll have to get a lot. We'll circle back. We'll circle. We'll get Phil back in here. We're going to take a break. You go get me whatever you brought me all the way from Ireland.

Absolutely. That guy, by the way, hold on. Go ahead. I love that guy. Hey, hey, he's great. Yeah, he's still in here. He's tight. That was fun.

Oh, buddy. Absolutely. Like, if we had any ducks in Louisiana right now, I'd say, Andrew, come duck out out of no more. But we ain't got an honest, so don't waste your time. I don't know how much an out-of-state license. I know how much an out-of-state license is. I don't know how much out-of-country license is.

know if it's the same or different or is this same is it yeah so but i'm aware it ain't worth it like spend that money a chick fillet or something or just make another run by bucky's on your way back to dfdb yeah you'll you'll be way more fulfilled i can assure you that but uh no so what do you have uh so you know our podcast company does a lot of other podcasts too tread lively and one of them is um what's it called hunter what's that a podcast called blurry creatures blurry creatures Right up Uncle Size Alley, right? We have a podcast. Yeah, they talks about stuff that don't exist.

That's not this podcast? Well, I mean, it is, but we stay much more grounded in reality, I think. Most of the time. And plurry creatures, people, they go like this. However, one of their partners is Free Life Soap, and they sent us some soap. So if you would like some Chow Bello, which apparently means hello handsome. I don't know. That is what that means.

Yeah, well, in Italian. Chalbello. I don't want to them Irish, so. No, they don't speak Italian. Everybody keeps sending a soap. We must stink. Oh, there ain't no doubt we do. It's duck season, buddy.

We stink. I've smelt better in life. And look, how did I know the man that would really be interested in this is the guy Mitt Millen? Who can never say no to anything free. That's not true. Or leftover.

That is true. That may be true. Look, I knows it's true. You like free stuff. I say, Sa, are you done with that? Yeah, eat it if you want to. Oh, yeah.

Tobacco leaf. I've never understood the scent tobacco leaf. That smells good. Is that a real scent? Because that was first time I've ever seen it right there. Oh, that's a scent and everything. Oh, is it really?

Like, hey, you want to smell like a Winston? To be fair. Cuban cigar. That's not how that one smells, but we just got a little manlier and a whole lot better smelling. Ooh, look at there. Cy, back in the day, did y'all make you on something? So, yeah.

Yeah. I thought you might. You made your own soap? Yeah. Did you ever use it? That's why. I know your, I know your brother didn't. Right.

It was pretty rough. Okay. Like the soap was actually rough? Oh, yeah. What'd y'all like? Yeah, this wasn't mild, you know, when you, you know, it was, it had a lot of grid in it. Okay. All right.

Yeah. So what'd y'all sin it with? Like sand? I don't remember. I mean, do you put, like, pine needles in there or something? Well, I guess I, when they was cooking it up, you know, I had a big boat powder in a big iron skillet, you know, big boiler. That is wild. So was there like a soap pot?

Oh, yeah. I mean, you didn't use that for nothing now? No, that was it, yeah. Because, you know, it'd boil it, yeah. Yeah, okay. But that wasn't your gumbo pot. No. Like, okay.

It had its own deal. I was just. You're cooking soap. I think they may have done the soap and then boil the pigs in the same thing. There you go. When they scrape the hair off the pigs. Nowadays where you grew up when somebody says they're cooking something, that means something totally different, you know?

Oh, yeah. No, no, that was back in the day when, look, we had a smokehouse. Yeah, I remember that. With the bacon? Oh, yeah. That does sound. Hey, no, no, because look, you know, Mama said, okay, okay, for breakfast, I'm out.

You'll go get a flat back. You know, and it would be. He tells the story a lot. It would be like, you know, like this. Andrews, Andrews knows this story. He's a bacon. It's a good one. Yeah.

But it's real bacon. It ain't that ham stuff ate over there. Oh, no, no. And, you know, you could do it either way. Sand or thick. Amen. Mommy used to do it pretty thick. I have more questions for Andrew after this is over.

Like, is Irish bacon, Canadian bacon? Why can't we all just get along and decide what's bacon? Yeah. And as a human, and what's wrong with... Everybody loves bacon. Just call it ham. Like, it's fine. Ham is good.

Well, do you have an American pig or do you have a Canadian pick? Well, no, but you get them from Spain, then my beard is. We don't want no Canadian hogs over here. Well, hey, I'm just saying, you know, hey. Super hog. Maybe that's why you say, hey, you got Canadian bacon? Or is this American bacon? Well, the problem is Americans decide to take a turkey breast and call it bacon.

So, you know, we can't be trusted either. So why would anyone do such a thing? That's what I'm saying. So like, yeah, it's fine. I had somebody tell me. It really doesn't matter. Okay. Bacon is bacon.

And we got more audience in here too. We got some folks from our friends over at Real Tree. So they are here to do the impossible, son. What's that? Titus is here to kill a duck where there are none. He's never killed one. So he's here for his first one. We're going to try tomorrow.

And, you know, short, Sure to go into the farmer's market and going to get that one. But is he going with you or is he going down the field? Before you answer that question, which one gives them the highest odds? Everybody know this. I didn't want you had to say it yourself. No, he's going with me. He's going on me and Clay.

You've got a good chance to kill one. And look, Sigh, he knows everything there is to know about Duck Dynasty. Yeah, if there was like a Duck Dynasty trivia night, this kid, he's... Oh, yeah. I want him on my team. I would lose. He was telling me stuff that I'd done long, forgot about. We did.

That's when they say, hey, you know, you crack me up when you've done this. And I'm looking at them with a blank stare on my face. What are you talking about? Come here. And I said, young fellow, young Titus. I never watched it. Young Titus. I said, no.

Pop in real quick. Get on in here, Titus? Yeah, pop in real quick. So he's the duck. Oh, I ain't seen him without his hat on yet. Oh, we're going to have to get some face paint on that hair. Oh, okay.

Boy, this is getting harder all the time. My head's a little bigger than yours. He's going to dip your head in an oil barrel. No, it'd be all right. Titus, what's going on? Nothing much. So we'll make this quick for you, Titus. Favorite Duck Dynasty moment.

We just... Ooh, well, that's tough. Well, I already know your favorite character. I told my dad, he's right there beside you. So this is pretty big deal for you. I think my favorite one ever would have to be. When Willie hired an assistant. Oh, boo.

That's when our rating started going down. The Manhunt. Y'all remember that one, the Manhunt one? One Jason, uh, Jason Sigh had to chase down Willie and. Oh, yeah, they were wearing the camouflage. Yeah. Oh, that is a Johnny Dee episode. That was a good one.

Yeah. That's how Johnny Dee afforded their Christmas kids right there. Yeah. Okay. He had me there for a minute. Man. Yeah, I was like, Con a net gun.

I got torn up by ants that day. I was, I was. It looked painful. Hey, you know where I learned that move from? The Manhunt? John Wayne. Oh, okay. And one of his, uh, war movies.

The Duke. Philippine Islands, you know, where there's in the rice field with the, with the, uh, cane underwater. I don't, but go ahead. No, no. that's why I learned that. Oh, to hide. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. We used to play high seat and my uncle had a big garden and he'd done his row, you know, and everything, it's, you know, it's dead, you know, the garden season is over. Now we're playing high and go seek. So I said, okay, boy. I said, you know, and we're playing war. So I said, boy, we fixed to slip them, slick them. And they said, what are you talking about?

I said, we're fixing to be, we're going to hide in the plane open. It's so simple that never know it. And all we did was got in between the rows and laid down. You couldn't see us. You really couldn't. We was out in the open and you could not see us. Couldn't see you. Just like being in a duck.

We won. You always won. We won. We killed them all. I'm serious. Hey. Because when they come walking up, tell me,

if they thought it was over. You know, by the time they'd said, okay, you know, and we jumped up and what did y'all have? Uh, hey, we was playing war. I know, but what guns do you have? Oh, we had homemade guns. Oh, okay, I got you. Hey, we used to make the, uh, wider was the one that was the, uh, long barrel.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. We used to make them. Okay. And we actually, okay. We made, look, we had an 18-inch barrel on it. Okay. And we take a bicycle tube,

and cut a circle. Yeah. And then stretch that thing 18 inches. And look, when we run up behind you, stuck it to your back and pulled the trigger. As all of it. Oh,

no, you got a whelp on your back, buddy. Boy, y'all sure wear a knife back in. Oh, no. Hey, that was fun. Yeah. They were mean. Sounds like it.

Oh, it was. Yeah. Well, if you don't know, no better. Oh, hey, no, the trigger was a clothespin. you put it actually closed it the clothes pin on it when you stuck it to you open the clothes fit yeah well ties do not do any you will get in trouble for all of these oh yeah no no no i just learn some stuff don't take this back to them in the morning let's stick to the 28 gauge and we'll be all right but uh titus normally i'd say that's a good gun he's going to let you shoot

there you go well the uh normally i'd say you'd win the furthest traveled for here but Andrew had to show up my D. Did he today, I just saw. Hey, have you ever met anybody from Ireland? No. Now you have. Look at there. Changing lives, Andrew.

Look at there. Ain't that so? My Disney World was cool. All your dreams actually come through right here in the duck car room. It's the happiest place on earth, y'all. How old are we there, young man? 12. 12.

Don't you miss him, Dave. Hey, y'all are two peas in the park because he's 12 years old. on the inside, he says. Oh, 14. Oh, 14. A little bit older. New years old. Older and wiser.

Older and wiser. Oh, well, Titus, thanks for jumping in with us, man. We're going to have fun in the morning, man. We'll let y'all know on the next podcast how our exploits go. Forget his hat. Titus, I'm keeping your hat. Nah. You want sign-in-s-s-s-in-it.

Yeah, there we go. Sign it and send it back over. He had a plan. He saw that Sharpie said, I'm just going to accidentally leave this hat here. I like it. That boy's smarter than he looks now. I'm here to tell you. He looked pretty smart.

I would say he's smart, but when he showed up, he said, go Gators. We know that ain't true. Oh. He's got a little bit of me. That's right. So I've got a question for you. I heard something, and I've been hanging out with you. I mean, every week for 15 years.

I heard something, and I want to know if it's true or not. Did you ever live in Ruston, Louisiana? and were and did you answer a 911 calls? Yes, I did. What? I actually worked for the Ruston Police Department. We are 400 and, Hunter, eight episodes in. You were a 911 dispatcher?

I was, yes, I was, I was a radio operator. I can't believe this. How did I not know that? That was your first experience to get you top secret clearance. No, no. And look. the worst thing that ever happened I screwed up one night

you let somebody die didn't you no and nobody died but the bad guy got away because I best up look we got I'm with Rustin PD okay it's a city police yeah okay I also

have in my radio room the state troopers okay okay so look I hear a high speed chase being in progress, okay. Well, I didn't think I was supposed to alert Arab guys,

you know, about, hey, he's chasing somebody toward Rustin from, from, like, gambling or something.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So look, he pulls, you know, and finally when one of the cops come in and said,

hey, look, you need to relay all this stuff, you know, what's going on? I said, well,

I didn't know. Yeah. So look, he poured into a stupid, in subdivision, walked the car and run in the woods. And took off running. Yeah.

So now they got their got an own foot chase. But I screwed up. There you go. How long did you do that job? Well, when I was at college. So not very long. Not very long. Si is supposed to be given the play by play.

No, could you imagine a sigh relaying critical information? No. Hey, no, no, no, no, hey, yeah, no, no, no, hey, no, no, hey, no, no, hey, hey, no, hey, no, hey, no, hey, no, hey, no, yeah, hey, no, no, but I think it's just a knife. No, no, yeah, he's in that stupid neighborhood. It's a situation as if he's armed and dangerous, boys. Oh, that's awesome. I didn't know that.

He's, hey, he's good under pressure, boys, they're under pressure. He just continues to prove that he is, in fact, the world's most interesting. I cannot believe. I know y'all, I tell you all. No, no, because I keep telling you, y'all, I had a chance, thank you, dogs. I have led, okay, in my short 76 years. A very interesting life.

Yep, okay, I really have. Well, yeah, you, 24 and a half years in the military, Greenskeeper, you know. Assistant Greenskeeper. Assistant Green's Keeper. Assistant 911 dispatch operator. And, hey, here's the best part of it. I drove all these people nuts. Well, yeah.

I just feel like, imagine your surprise in those days how hard it was to call 9-1-1. I mean, you had 9-1-1-1-1. One-oh-oh, and it was. So, yeah. Click-click-click-click-click-click. So that's a big deal, right? Like, that's a big, and then whenever, 9-1-1-1, this is Cy Robertson.

This is Cy Robertson. Oh, hang up. Right. What's your emergency? sir, may I help you? No, hey. Did you get a bunch of calls? Like, do you remember any of them?

Like, what's the weirdest one you got? I know you blew it on the high-speed chase. Which has probably made the Rustin PD real mad. It's like as a cop. I think like you live for high-speed chase. Oh, the best part of that, no, no, look, the best part of that was, okay, bad or big things come in small packages. Because look, the state police had a state police officer.

Okay. And he was about, I think, five, four. You're talking about the person? No, no, yeah. I'm serious.

No, no. He was about five, four, okay. Uh-huh. And he was skinny as I am. Uh-huh. Okay.

Small package. Hey, but, hey, do not mess with this clown. Okay, because he'll kill you in a heartbeat. So now looking back on it, that guy versus Big Oaf.

Oh, no. Big O would run from him. I would run. No, no, because hey, the bad guys, because hey, look, they got this guy that chased him into a neighborhood. He got in a house. They're having a gun battle.

Uh-huh. Okay. And I think it was the city police that had him surrounded. Well, they couldn't get him to, you know, give up. So guess who they call? Five-four.

They call five-four. Okay. He pulls up and, hey, the only thing he does, as he flipped his trunk open, grabs the megaphone, and said, hey, you've got three minutes to throw your guns out

or come out, or I'm coming in, and if I come in in, I'm killing you. Okay. That's great. Put the horn back in, slam the deal, and so tell me that. You're down to two minutes.

This was in Rustin? Yeah. I'm waiting for one minute, and I'm right. You're down to a minute. Uh-oh. yeah well hey next thing they do it's don't chuck again grab his bulletproof fist puts it on grabs that uh sawed-off shotguns that they carry

y'all put 15 shells in it oh man he said you're down for 30 seconds y'all and he's still walking house crash you hear a window break here comes a gun out I'm coming out I'm coming out yeah he said y'all cuff him he told the city police he said y'all cuff him take him in He said, I'm back on patrol.

Now I wonder what else is in there. No, no, because I'm saying, hey, and I asked one of the cops, I said, hey, I said, what's the deal with this thing? He said, look, they all know, all the bad guys know him, and if he gives you three minutes, he means three minutes, and he's coming in and shooting. Never buff. The best one was, we have one cop, Russian City cop. he's fixing to retire okay so look he pulls up to a 7-11 store in his patrol car okay about the time he pulls up a guy has just robbed the 7-Eleven and they're calling you no no oh no he's backing out and when he turns around he sees the cop car well he just starts just bam bam bam bam bam

bam well hey the cop was getting out of his car so he jumped back in look and he's didn't even raise up. He just pulls his 38 special and just threw the windshield. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. And I said, what would you do? He said, hey, I was just shooting so he would stop shooting at me. I said, yeah, but you blew your windshield out. He said, oh, I'd have blew the whole world up as far as that goes. Hey, just stop shooting. Good grief. And Titus, you know, on Duck Dynasty, Phil said I am 911. He probably got. from his brother, who really was 911.

No, I was 911. That was a professional transition, Phil. You know, back to Titus, playing games in the woods. This is your favorite uncle. That's your man. Y'all keep bringing up stuff in moves out. I've known you for 20 years, and you never once told me you worked as a 911 operator. You know where I heard that from?

Alex's dad. Big Al? Big Al. Big Al was in an event and he spoke to this crowd in Rustin and they told me they was like, you buddy, side, he worked for the Ruston Police Department. I said, no, he didn't. He was a 911 operator. I said, no, he wouldn't. No, Rustin folklore. So I just found the truth out. Yeah. So you were a 911. Hold on. Every time I think this shows run its course, like we're out of material. I'm like, no, no, we're not. We got, there's more. There's more to uncover. I mean, I got so many questions.

Like, what was the interview process? Did you have to wear a gun? No. He was at a desk. Yeah, but hey, you never know. He said, like you had a cell phone. He's out on the field doing it. That's one of the things I'd ask.

I said, God, do I get a gun? Do I get a gun? A badge? Desperps in the right, John, baby. The guy told me in a no uncertain terms. Hell no, you don't get a gun. Heep, beep. Beep.

And I said, wait a minute, wait a minute, guys, I'm part of the team now. I said, you got to give me a gun. Good grief. You know, I said, what if I'm hearing some bad guy comes in? What am I supposed to do? Call 911. Yeah, call 911, man. Hey, I am 911, you idiots.

Did you get a badge? No. Nothing. You just had a name tag. That was the first two things that asked about it. I said, number one, do I get a gun? and I'm going to sue and you know you like to get a badge and I said no you just got a name tag yeah Robertson did you have like a headset like you're wearing now oh yeah oh yeah we've got to get them on that show

praise god what live PD no the 911 show with uh Reno 911 no there's like a whole show that's like 911 Texas and they called 91111 and there's this person sitting there that relays it and it's not that good of a show but I can save it I have the actor. I have the guy. I have him. I have you a gold mine here, folks. All we've got to do is sit there and talk.

I have no idea what show you're talking. 9-1-1 Lone Star. Here's the thing that got, okay, because I talk to all the cops. It's got Rob Lowe. And I said, okay, what do you hate to hear from the operator, the radio operator? Uh-oh. Silence. No, domestic disturbance.

Yeah, I bet There's more people injured That kind of scene set up Because you never know what you're going into Yeah So when you call them and tell them Okay, hey look we've got a domestic violence You know at this address

Yeah They say okay Call so-and-so and tell them to back me up Meet me there Yeah Well that's a tough job too. You know, what they're doing is tough and 911 operators.

You actually have no idea how tough that job is. Yeah, because you're dealing with the crisis every time you answer the phone. Except for the time I called 911. And that's why I wondered what you call. I got in a lot of trouble as a kid. It was a pay phone, Titus. That's a thing. Every these little booths.

We were at Walmart and my mom was... You put a nickel or nine or a corner? Yeah. She was returning something, so I was just playing on the phone. and I only knew one phone number to call, 9-1-1. And I called it 10 times. But I thought you had to put a quarter in to make the call. There is an exception to that rule.

That exception is 911. So then somebody calls up there and they're like, is something going down at Walmart? We've got 10-9-1-1 calls from them. Bomb threat. And everybody was like, no, I don't think so. And then I heard it. I was like, uh-oh.

I've messed up big. Excuse me, sir, I'm sorry Nope, got outside the store Who'd you pin it on? Well, no, I looked at mom I said, Mom I said, Mom, you don't have to have a quarter to call 911, I'm guessing

She was like, no, is that you? I said, yeah, she goes, well, hurry up, let's get out of here. You know who your granddaddy is? We gotta go. We got to go. You're going to jail. We got out of there.

I came clean to my mom because I felt so guilty about it. Yeah, you'd sing like a canary, buddy. What? I said you'd sing like a canary. I wasn't going down. If any of us get in trouble, we're doomed. I ain't going to the pen by myself.

We're going as a team, y'all. Johnny D's middle name is plea. I actually don't have one. Oh, Lord, have mercy. What a good time. How did we make it through another 50 minutes? And we got, we still. We ain't even talking.
