The whole world knew who he was. It paid off. Hey. I like you little sash there. Gone undone. That came in the mail. A diamond under rough, boys. We've been getting a lot of mail.

So would you can... I feel like one of them, uh, a girl in the beauty pot. Yeah. You look like one, too. Hey, watch it. Watch it. Watch it. The question is, will you be participating in the swimsuit competition?

No. No, I ain't going on that. Pigeon legs. You ever seen any short-legged chicken? You're on, you know, chicken legs? Chicken legs. You riding in a young chicken legs. Oh, yeah.

Very pale as well. I saw them whenever I went to ask him if he took his medicine during the COVID days. That's right then he left. He said he was scared. Hey, question. Did this stuff, the birthday paraphernalia, is that what this would be considered? That's what that's considered. The sash.

Did that come with these? Oreos? It did. They come with all of them goodies. Okay, so there wasn't a note, but I found the email. Let's go ahead and call her out. Okay. Because she's solid. Her name's Brittany.

It's a good name. Solid name. That's not. Her birthday's. Martin's Britney. No, different Brittany. Different Brittany. I don't know where this Britney's from.

It's probably from Tennessee. Who knows? That's a good state. Solid one. She has the same birthday as you, and that's why she sent. Oh, wow. April 27th. Well, in that case, Brittany.

Happy birthday. There it is. Golly. But Brittany, I don't appreciate the Irish Spring. Hey, Brittany, we do. Now, if he, hey, if his wife will only make him use it. It was one. Okay, we'll be in good shape.

He's going to have a sense of humor. He's going to smell even better because they're in the midst of a bathroom remodel anyway. Hey, y'all remember. Is they getting a new bidet? No. Okay, here we go. Hey, yes. and a very nice one.

A nice one. He's upgrading, boys. But before we... Just tell the folks at home how much you decided to spend on your new toilet. I'm not telling anybody nothing. Come on.

Come on. Hey, hey, thanks for listening. Come on. Come on. You got my curiosity running rampant. So remember, the first episode like we ever did was Christmas and we talked...

This soap smells delicious. Not delicious. Oh, no. That's good soap. That's good soap. No, that's good stuff. It'll cover all your odor. Trust me.

I use it, so I know. And I've never smelled it. It will cover the funk on your junk. Anyway, so the first episode I said I wanted a bigger bathtub. Well, ladies and gentlemen, have you got one? It's on the way. It's on the way, boys. They have ripped my bathroom in my closet down to the studs,

because it was made for like five, seven people. Well, I'd see two people. Hey, there's nothing wrong with my house. Let me be the verse. to congratulate you on your new bathtub. Well, how much was your toilet? No, it was enough. What was, hey.

It was less than I get paid for the money? No, no. What was the price tag? You got to tell us. $1,200. It was, I bought a toilet that costs more than my lawnmower. I think it's got a couple of zero that. No, no, no.

Not a chance. I just don't make no sense. A $1,200 toilet? So let me tell you something. Well, how would a $1,500 would make you feel? You know what you put in it? No, no, listen. Whenever you go up to it, the light comes.

I'm paying that much for nothing that you're going to just destroy. Did you hear, God, would you go there? It's not worth it because of what you put in it. This one has a light. Okay. It missed. The seats warm. And it's got a blow dryer.

But all that being said, Godman's looking at it. He's funny. He's funny. No, I'm not. You're coming over, God. No, unfortunately, he is not funny. He's dead serious. And we were saving this until the end, but since we're on badees,

Si, you had something come in the mail today. Yeah. With great honor and dignity that I send you a very special gift. David says that from Burnips, Michigan. I think, is it in my Michigan? I used to be so good at that. Now I'm like, is a Mississippi. He sends it to you, and he gives us his phone number.

And now I'm going to say that on, just kidding, David. But he sent you. your very own bidet attachment from Amazon and you can put that on your toilet at home. No. Okay. I appreciate the thought behind it,

but that will be a big no. No. I'm going to put it on the, I'm putting it on the, there's a toilet right behind that wall. It's me and Martin's toilet. He said behind the wall, boy.

No, we're putting it in. So you don't want. In addition to the duck commander toilet. It's going to be the duck command. That's right. Gobba, do you want me to put it on your toilet at work? No. All right.

I said, no. I still can't get past Gaba saying, do you know what you put in it? That's right. Do you know what you put in it? That's why I like to take care of it. Have you got any idea? Do you spend that kind of money for what you put in it? Oh, man.

That's good. That's rich. I don't care who you are. That's funny. It really is. It is. That's right. So the dude doing my bathroom, whenever he sees the cloak from the plate,

like you buy the bathtub. You buy everything. the same place and he goes no no no that's too much i said look there's a toilet on there it's exactly right it's the problem and you know what that toilet's giving me a job right now

just getting on telling the fans of the duct call room all about fancy toilets and so i'm going to give back to the bidet community and spend all the money that i make from this podcast on a toilet on the toilet his toilet got more functions in my truck

hey I saved $100. The heat works, the air works. It's got a mister. In other words, this is the luxury model with all the bells and the whistles. I did leave off one bell and whistle. It doesn't open and close on its own just when you walk up to it. I felt like that was just something that was going to end up breaking.

He said he thought that was going to. That was too far. That was going. If it was open up, no, that's going too far. Enough about me. It's your birthday. Do they make one with a jitbox? where to just like play you a little ditty while you're sitting down there. Before you drop that quarter.

Let me give you one small request. Oh, my goodness. That's right. It's a new meaning to toilet humor here. That's it, boys. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate the soap. Si appreciates the things. Happy birthday, Uncle, Cy.

Thank you. I feel ridiculous. This isn't supposed to be about me and my. No, but that's your gift of size to tell him how much you spend on your toilet. Because now he's judging you hard. Oh, I am too. Yeah, look, so it's going. That's just a Tuesday night.

Yeah, I'm actually, I'm more concerned about Willie and his business now. Willie and who's. Okay, since you're his right-hand man that I would spend that on. If you spend that kind of money on a piece of junk. It's not junk. It's very nice. Oh, no, no, it's junk. because of what Guy one said, okay, it's junk because what's being put in it.

Okay, trust me. It's just, I just don't, I can't, I just, I'm just. You're at a loss for words, aren't you? I am. Look, here's deal. Let's take a break. We'll see if we can find your words. That's right.

We'll be back out after this. We'll have a discussion maybe if we can find the word. I am interested in these. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. that means more outside cook 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 ain't it good it's so good our friend sall robinson 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 come to them but with tritels beef we skipped the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedails 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 ribbyes 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 ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to tribeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families

and eat some dang good steak. I want to know. Move on. 73 years. Cy, 73 years of wisdom. I got questions about that. What you got? 73 years of wisdom?

Yeah. I mean, you may only have a couple of years of wisdom in there. Well, I figured that because I ain't been, you know, kind of just storing up wisdom here, boys. Reservance. I've been living. You've been living. I like it. I still gravel roads around here when he's young.

Yeah. They didn't have asphalt when I was young. Yeah. It was dirt and mud. They didn't have them. That's why all your rednecks from Louisiana know how to drive on snow. They drive on muddy roads all the town.

Did you just say we know how to drive on snow? Yeah. Were you, did you drive during the snowstorm? No, I didn't leave the house. Nope. Hey, when there's ice outside, this boy don't go outside.

Okay. That's like, hey, when ice, I don't go ducking. You know, Jason and M. can take a chainsaw and cut him a big hole and go kill the ducks. I ain't that mad at them. Okay. I'm going to stay where it's nice and warm.

I am with you. I'm a, what they call, a fairweather hunter. Well, hey, 73. 73, you've earned that right. Bring the heat, boys. Bring the heat. Because let's be honest, if you don't kill another one in your life, you've already got plenty.

Yeah, I've got my share of them, trust me, when I tell you that. So what year were you? Especially in the Malt Lake days. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we don't want to go there. Yeah, we don't want to go there. Okay.

And nap every day. And you've been alive for 38 million minutes. 38 million minutes. I remember when I first come to work for the commander, I would come in, drink a cup of coffee, pour some tea, drink his tea, lay down on the cap. And go take a nap. Yeah. Take a nap.

And he'd come out there about 11 o'clock. Miss Kay called for dinner about an hour later. He'd go in there and eat. And eat. Then after, hey, take a nap. And after you eat, you've got to take a nap for digestive system to work. Then he'd come back out there and he'd stretch real big. I've about had all I can stand today, boys.

He'd go out. I typed in the wrong day. I know. I was telling you. It's the 27th. It's the 27. You are on Wikipedia, though. I'm on Wikipedia.

Important things that happened in 1948, Cy Robertson was born. Television personality. Was born. Vivian, Louisiana. Well, Sy, have you gotten any other interesting birthday gifts? Ms. Kirstein gets you anything? No, she didn't.

She only spends what I make. Gotcha. Okay, and she don't spend it on me. Gotcha. What about your... She spends it on herself. What about your brother, Field? Did he get you anything?

No, and I didn't get him, nothing either. That's the Robertson Way, boys. Tell me, hey, you're just another year older and a little bit uglier. Yeah. Nothing has changed, boys. I can tell you what happened, so I walked in the fields and filled at him and said, well, you made it. Another year.

That's not another year, boys. With the last two standing out of our family. Yep. And we're getting real long in the tooth, boys. You got a real home. You got another three or four decades in you. Well, maybe. Sight, do you know how much it cost to get a gallon of gas when you were born?

I think it was like 32 cents. 16 cents. Oh, 16. Right. I was a gallon of gas. I was close. He was getting premium. Yeah.

I was one of them thoughts that had the gas in the top of it. It'd feel up the top. Yeah. You'd live in the gravity fed. Phil and his buddy, Bill Conley. and Bill had an old, old mobile, I think what it was. And what they put in it was drip from an oil well. It was about half diesel or, you know.

Did it work? Yeah, they'd run that car. No, no, they had it dripping in a 55-gallon drum, and we had one of them little pump you put in there and pump the gas and the drip in the old car. That's incredible. And hey, now it probably burnt the motor up later, but I mean, you know, it worked while we was driving it. That's all we was concerned with.

All right, side, what was the average wages for a year, the year you were born? Oh, good grief. $8,000. Wrong. Nope. Probably about about six. $2,950 bucks. $2,950.

And what job was that? I don't know. That's just average. Average. The average? $2,000? And you could get a brand new. You're talking about poverty level, boys.

Well, not back then. Well, I just know, hey, we used to pick cotton, you know, our whole cotton all day long, 50 cents an hour. That was from daylight to dark. And if you did that for 2,500 hours, you could buy yourself a new car. Because a new car when you were born was only 1,250 bucks. $1,250. bucks.

I want to get like a sack full of money and get a time machine and go back and go back and just buy a bunch of stuff. Be a millionaire. He'd be the Appleman. I don't know how far you're going back, but I'd pause somewhere around the invention of the air conditioner. That's a good point. Yeah, that's right.

He said, pause is that year, boys. Either that or I'd change the location somewhere much cooler than here. The cell phone, remember Star Trek? They're talking at. Then the flip phone come out. Oh, that first phone was a string in cans. Yeah. And then the computer, the computer come along.

Well, they all had cows. So every year, it was what, after wintertime, I think. They would all go down to the cotton gin, okay, bring their horse trailers and then their horses and unload them,

and then they'd all go to whoever's land they would go to first and round hills up, then go to the next guy and round his up. Well, while they had them tied up at the cotton gin, I was just like a, I'd be jumping from horse to horse. Sit on him while. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. jump on another. That's a good one.

So I said, well, I want to go up there to the pond, which is about 0,500, 600 miles, I mean, five, or 600 yards away. That was a journey. Yeah, that was a journey. Okay, so I said, I don't want to walk, so I'm going to saddle an old Dan. I'll ride up there. The horse's

the sheriff down there right now they're out looking for you you know you fix the hang Was this 1848 or? No, no, this was, you know, in the 50s, in the 50s. So, hey, I jump on that horse and look, he liked to fail with me

because I was running wide up, and he was old. He tripped. Oh, Dan, that's why they called him old. No, no, no, no, no. He was, look, he was going down, and it was all I could do ran back to bring him up where he didn't fall. Because we think they have a bad tumble here, son. Me and the horse.

So I'll come up there and I said, hey, what's the problem? And you're on this man's horse? Oh, no, yeah. I said, what's the problem here? Your son has told me that I could ride this horse anytime I get ready. He said, well, hey, my son has done a lie to you because it ain't his horse. It's mine. Now, this is his dad, too, and I said, y'all need to get y'all story straight.

Okay, so, you know, I was at the birthday party when you gave him that. stupid horse. Okay, so it was his horse, and he told me I could ride it. So, hey, I don't want to hear this story about horse theft. But here's your horseback. That's right, but hey, but here's your horseback. Now, you want me to unsathe them? Or you're going to do it.

Yeah, he said, hey, you just stay away from him. I'll unsat it. And I said, Roger that. He's the same one. No, no, no. He's the same one, okay. They had a boat. Did you steal it, too?

No, no, no, no. He let it rain. Okay, and it sunk the boat. So for five years, I'm looking at this boats on the bottom of the creek down there. So, you know, I said, okay, it's been five years. He ain't worried about that boat. He don't care about it. So, hey, me and the kids, the neighborhood kids, we all weighed out there, drag this big heavy boat full order, bail it out.

Okay, it's got four or five holes in it. I get with Daddy and say, Daddy, I need some tar, you know, so I can tar the bottom of this boat and fix his hole. He said, okay. So he brings me a blow torch and some tar. So, hey, we work on this thing for like a month. Fixing the holes, putting board on it and putting tar on it and, you know, doing the bottom of it. And the first time we out there, we're in it, fishing, tearing them up, getting them, we're on the brim bed, just ever cast. Big old brim, bluegill.

You know, and he comes up and says, well, you're doing in my boat. I said, well, you left it on the bottom of the creek for five years. I figured, you know, find his keepers here. Yeah, and he said, no, that's my boat. And he said, you put it right back where it was. Well, hey, I shouldn't have done what I did, but okay, buddy. You know, so I paddle up to the bank, told the kid, hey, hand me that axe. You know, we have ax and tools down there where we was fixing it up.

I said, hand me that axe. So I paddle out in the creek. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Right on the middle. Right in the middle. Okay, right in the middle. Okay.

I'll stand up. and hey right in the bottle of it you know bottom of it axe goes to it about three times then I said no that ain't quite good enough okay

right field left side of the boat off now and it's going down right side of the boat off you know and I put that come walking out and I'm there it's back where it was that

son just like I had it all he's through a fit I come home Daddy comes home and I come home too And Daddy said I already take it a belt And just wear you out And I said well let me give me my side of it first

He said your mom's done told me your side of it And he said I already beat you He said but I'm not because the man was wrong Yeah he said but And I said well wait I got a question you at you daddy I said, you're off the hook. Why are you bringing it back up? Well, no, no, because I just had no.

I said, you need a lot of one to run. What was the problem with him? He's seen that thing laying on the bottom of the creek for five years. Didn't care. Didn't get two cents worth for that boat. Now, what's his problem when he's watched a bunch of kids work a whole month fixing it and then they're having a time of their life out there catching fish out of it? Thank you.

And he just can't stand it. Couldn't stand it. happy. No, no, no. Couldn't stand for seeing kids actually something that used to belong to him. You know, just couldn't stand it, watching us have some fun out of it. So Mr. McKinney was kind of a screw. Oh, no.

Yeah, he was. God. Daddy said, hey, you got over with this one with this one. He said, I ought to beat you badly. He said, but in all honesty, I can't do it. He said, because I'd have done the same thing. That's what he was thinking. that's terrible

and I've run up from people like that because like one of them when I was in the military and the guy had chicken coops and what he did was he spent a little money on them and made apartments out of them

apartments out of chicken coops and I lived in one of them okay the walls were paper thin but anyway I look at it it's about a two acre lake down there and you know everybody told me and said man that thing is full of big

bass and every you know croppy and everything. So I went in the wintertime, yeah. Went down there and knocked on the guy at the door, sit down and talked to him about an hour on his porch. Tell me, hey, man, let me fish in your pond. He said, no, I got a rule on a little bit.

I said, hey, look, I'll make an agreement, shake hands with you. You know, if you let me fish on it, if you find something wrong, if I've been on your property and you find something wrong, I won't leave until I'll fix whatever you find wrong. So he let me fish, you know, hey, all during the winter I'm fishing, I know I ain't going to catch nothing. I'm waiting for when they get on the bed.

Okay, so hey, I'm looking forward to it. Here it comes, okay. February, March, April, May. They're on the beds, and I'm driving by it and see them swirl out there, about ten of them, just bulls. I'm talking about. So he doesn't tell me I can fish, so I go down there. He's not home, the old man ain't.

But his son is. So I throw in one of them big beds and catch one weighs about seven and three-quarter pounds, you know, and I keep him in a bad, first thing I did, stupid, okay, as I went and showed the sun. You know, I caught one of the big baths today, you know, so the next day I was coming back and we were going to catch some, a couple of more of them. As soon as I drove in, he came out and cussed me and tell me, oh, you tore up you, and I said, wait minute, I don't know what, you tore up you on, I said, well, hey, I said, get in the golf cart,

take me down there, whatever, before you say I tore up, and I'm not leaving until I'll till I fix it. I shook hands with you on it, my words, my bond, I ain't leaving your property until I fix it. So he y'all around, I said, you might as well get in the golf cart and take me where it's broke, because I'm not leaving your property until I fix what you told, show me is tore up.

Well, there's tore up. You called my bass. I said, all right, now I'll leave. He caught the man's fish. Oh, no, caught the man's fish, and he could not stand it. I love it. Was he trying to catch the fish? No, he didn't give two things about that bass.

Most people care. He just didn't want me catching him and having fun. Why are people such scrooge as? No, no, I don't understand. Hey, you start messing with men's fish, their dogs. Yeah, yeah. Oh, don't bad mouth. dog. You can bad mouth my dog.

Well, Sa, look, you've made it to 73. I just, I think inquiring minds want to know, is there anything in your life? Well, I got two. It's a two-parter for you. Two, a A and a P. Is there anything in your

life you do different, A, and B, is there anything left on your list to accomplish? Is there something you're like, man, I need to do this? I mean, you're 73, so I would say that time may be against you, but you're the ageless wonder, so I don't know. I don't know. No, no.

The only thing, the first one is, okay, would I change anything? No. Nothing. Love it. I really wouldn't. And I believe that. I don't think you're just saying. No, no, because I just, because I look at where we was, where I started from, and look where I ended up. Started from the bottom now we're here. Yeah, yeah.

There's a song about that. No, no. No, no. And look, that's why I tell people all the time, and they never, I don't think they ever really listen to what I say, that I am living proof there is the God, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit in heaven. They're alive and they're well, doing well. And they're doing things with the most unlikely people. Amen. Okay. Because I am actually one of those that he's doing things with.

Yeah. Okay. So I wouldn't change nothing. It's actually been a privilege to be part of what he's been doing, just to be there, to watch it. Because I've watched him use the Robertson family and friends and employees. He pointed at us on that. Do?

Oh, no. I don't know if we're friends and employees anymore. Well, you're both. Yeah, you're both. But he's done so many amazing. things with all of us that it was just the coolest thing to be a part of it all I got to say to that is amen no I'm serious it was really was that's why I said I would not change nothing but on the other thing what have I got that I'd like to do other than we know the one don't

no no no I fix it yeah the car is the one okay the draxter okay and I would have to be might be on my way out to do it because the guys tell me it pulls 5Gs and my heart might not be able to take that. So that would be one of the last things I would attempt on this earth. Top fuel dragster. That's right. Top fuel dragster and hey, and not on that, set the record when I did it. There you get.

John Forrest, if you're listening to this, no. He's the only drag racer I know. Oh, no, I know a guy, and Phillips got his number and everything. He's got one, and he's the one that told me, he said, you may not want to pull this and all for everybody. Let's get this podcast to December before we worry about that. But I would like to go win one of them. Could you think of a 365 mile an hour, because the record is 360.

I like. So I'm going to beat that by five miles an hour in three seconds flat. No, is it that fast? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's fast. Why don't you just like... Good grief. Call Elon Musk up and go to the moon or something.

I have no inkling to go to the moon. You don't like Chief? No. I might be a rat, but no, I don't want to go to the moon for it. I don't want to go to the moon either. We ain't be able to. Ask him. I know it's on your money.

Hey, ask me. Do you think we've been to the moon? No, that's area 54. They've got that roped off and guarded with guards, okay? That's a scent, okay? You're going to claim, I'm sorry for blowing everybody's speakers out, that the people of this great nation never have been to the moon. One of the greatest accomplishments in American history.

Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Because I don't think we have either. Well, no, no, because here's the thing about it. Do you think the great people of this nation would lie to you? in a New York second. We're diving into politics,

people. We're diving in. So anyway, yeah, I don't think we landed on the moon. I think it was a setup. Martin? Oh,

thanks. I'm not saying we didn't land on the moon. Just look at how far away the moon is. I think it's a fabric of America, an American history, and growing up in the education system,

I have to believe that we landed on the moon. He said he has to, boys. Because if not, I spent a lot of time wasted memorizing a bunch of crap but it was thought to me wrong. So I'm going that we went there and we planted that flag on the moon and it was one giant leap for mankind or whatever.

One giant step for mankind. Were you watching that on TV when it happened? Yeah. You were too? Was it real good one? You were like, yeah, that's it. I mean... Did we go there?

Yeah. We got FaceTime like three years ago and now we're just like... This is like the hypothetical, okay, that this earth we live on is over 400 billion years old. I got just one simple question. We wasn't even here 400 billion years ago. So how are you going to say, oh, yeah, this thing is 400 billion years old?

I do have lots of questions about that. Yeah. No, I can't Google that. There's just some things, okay? That are unknowable. Yeah. There's some things that are unknowable. Well, the moon thing is knowable.

Oh, it is. Because why won't they go back? Prove it. Prove it, Martin. Oh, no, no. That's one logical argument I can never refuse. The last thing I've seen on something on television was about, okay, that somebody is building rockets. Elon Musk.

Okay, like they do a 747 plane to put 300 people on it. And guess where the destination is? The moon? The moon. an asteroid. Well, here's... Well, here's what I'll tell you. You can, hey, you can forget that little trip for me.

Here's what I'm making it. Look, Mr. Musk, I think, is a brilliant human. I mean, he's obviously on the next level. But I ain't getting on nothing he makes because the stuff he makes right now only goes 300 miles before we've got to plug into a wall. So until you get that issue fixed, I ain't going with you to the moon. And when it's cold outside, you ain't making it a tree park. No, absolutely not.

You got to pull over an... Applebee's parking lot. Baby, it's cold outside. Yeah, and by the way, how did Applebee's get the exclusive charging stations? Is that just so people will come in there? I don't think anybody eating at Applebee's has got a Tesla. No offense to the good folks of Applebee's. Applebee's, got a charging station?

But I think that their crowd more so follows Ricky Bobby. And that's where they ate as a family. And I'm fine with that. Hey, what about me? Ricky Bobby ain't got no Tesla. One of my favorite jokes of all time. Larry, the cable guy, we were in a golf tournament. I was the caddy.

Willie was the guy playing golf. The golfer. Let's go with the golfer. Larry, the cable guy was playing with us. And Willie had some old fancy club. And the cable guy said, where did you get that club off the wall of an Applebee's? And I laughed. Yeah.

And I've laughed. And I've laughed. Say, that's what I'm talking about. The Applebee's jokes are great. Larry knows his crowd and ours because they're one in the same. same. So big Larry, he's aware. The Walmart crowd, boy. I'm about to go to Home Depot and Walmart as soon as we're done with this.

But not to get soap. I got plenty of that. You got some Willie Sending So, so, you know, so anyway, back to this moon thing. Oh, we're going back. I just, I'm mad that nobody will tell me why we don't go back. I'm just mad that they won't come out and say yes or no. But maybe that's what this UFO stuff is coming out.

to that. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. There's UFO stuff? Yeah. June. June. Air Force, Navy, and all that's releasing all their documents related to UFOs.

Oh, they are? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Huh. How interesting. Have you ever seen a UFO? Yes, I have. He didn't even think about it.

Oh, no, no, no. Was that a real question? No, no. You got to understand. Of course he had. They've seen a bar of Panther. If you've counted. If you've camped out.

Sal of I. No, no. Look, if you've camped out under God's sky at night. Yeah. Those all counts. Trust me, you see stuff, okay, that normal people wouldn't see. Because they're not, they're not at laying out looking up in the stars. Especially if you're in a cow pasture and their mushrooms is around.

You see all kinds of stuff. Oh, yeah. Well, you lay it in that mustard field. See, he's going. He does drink a lot of tea, don't he. Phil, when I told him, I walked around in Vietnam with a fit of whiskey in my pocket. in my pocket. He said, now all these stories you got in Nam? Makes sense. Make sense. Yeah. So that's why he brought in the mushroom.

But no, no, look, hey, the best thing, funnest time we ever had, okay, we're duck hunting, and we're making a trip out west. And we're actually, Albuquerque. We're north of Aberkirkie, okay, at 4.30 a.m., six degrees outside. We're throwing decoys out on the Rio Grande River. Okay. And in a 45-minute period, we see 17, okay? Different, you can call them falling stars, shooting stars, burning up planets or whatever you want to saw,

streaking across the sky. Look, one of them was, it looked big as the sun, okay? And it was a big giant red ball of fire going across the night sky and it literally gets right above it and breaks into two pieces, a little piece of trailer and a big one in front.

And we watched this and this is like 17 different things and Phil just looked at me and he said boys what you're looking at there going across the sky on fire that's a gigantic planet

like the earth you know so hey you could call that an undenified flying object. Okay. Because it's just a big ball of fire going across the night sky. So you had Phil went and saw the movie Armageddon together? No, I was there. No.

No. Oh, this is real. It was more than one. No, no. It was the size of the sun. I wouldn't say that big. It was big. It was big.

Galvin has been with signs of very formative stories. the sun re-entering the atmosphere, the Black Panther. Guy would tell us a little more sensible side of all these stories. Was that, Mac Owens was there with us, wasn't you? Mac was there, yeah. Phil? Your uncle. I'll call Uncle Mac right now.

He probably won't remember. Oh, he'll remember. Trust me. He will remember that. You could have called. Was that pre or post-CR? Huh? Oh, boy.

Is that pre or post-C.R? That was post. Or is Godwin, like to say, was that? That B.C. or AD? Yeah, that's right. All right. Mac, Owen. We're texting them right now.

He'll tell you that's true. 17. 17 different things. I would say more than 17. It was incredible the amount of Seating Showers. And in theory of meteor showers. Oh, yeah.

Oh, it was unreal to see. It might have been. No, no. It was unreal to seek. To witness. That's pretty cool. And everything, look, everything out there in West,

at night. It looked like fireworks. It looked like it looked like like fire. Touched the stars are so close

and it looks like and the sun of planet? Oh no, no, I'm telling you hey. It was big. I got to know

though after that did y'all kill them ducks? Oh, did we kill them? That's what I'm talking about. That's the wildest thing. Look. The barometer was all off

that morning. Hey, look, everything that morning from daylight, soon the daylight broke, okay, here comes with Green Wings Hill up the river.

Okay. And look, they're all flying. about 50 yards high. Yeah, they don't want to get hit by that stuff either. They don't. They've been shot at all night. No high grease.

We didn't see a duck over 50 yards high the whole time. And we hunted for three days, full limits. The reason I, well, here's the reason I asked, because this year, on my first hunt back after we lost my dad, I was sitting there waiting on Clay. Clay was going to come pick me up. We were going to ride together. And it was a little meteor shower in January this year.

I saw like seven or eight, you know, shooting stars, whatever you want call them. And we hadn't been killing anything. And then all of a sudden we show up that morning and it's just thick as fleas on a dog. And I was like, I didn't even, no, no, I didn't even think about what you was saying. Yeah, that's why I was curious, because I've only seen it once. And we whacked them, and that's why I was curious.

Y'all were in the middle of one. I was wondering if y'all whacked them too. Oh, yeah. We did. No, no. Three days limit. But it was another day like that. And like you were talking about, and we didn't know, you know, usually we're watching,

High ducks, one there's really a flight on. No, these are all 50 yards high. Yeah, that's great. If they come over you, you could shoot them. They was killable. So meteor showers are two for two on killing ducks. You see one of them coming, go duck hunting. You rise.

I didn't think about that. If the heavens are having chaos. Yeah. Lower day. Maybe I'll fly low today. Yeah. Duck your head. Keep your head, Dad.

Well, let's take our last break. We'll be back right after you. Yeah, I didn't think of it. Hopefully Uncle Matt gets back to me. Let's get back in that inbox. Hello at duck callroom.com, Johnny, D. Yeah, what do we have? We got to go quick today because now we, that break caused us to have extra Bible verses, people.

But my friend Andrew, my man Andrew is sending emails. He is, he's kind of my pen pal now. Mr. Snip? Mr. Snip. He told us a story of his vasectomy that was hilarious. but he sent a whole box of stuff for Sy's birthday. He even sent Philip McMillan a Captain D's gift card since he's the only person that still eats there.

That's right. He sent me an Arby's gift card. He sent me a hostess cupcake. He sent me this knife in case I need to fend myself from Sai. Hey, let me see that now. Wow. Let's just say it's pretty good. Oh, no.

Hey. You give your defense mechanism to sign. That's a real knife, boys. You can give that. You can give that one to say. It's in a childproof container. But he also sent. Childproof tank, the old word of can't.

Oh, yeah. He found this in his house. It is a chia pet uncle sigh. I think we need to put it up there and let it grow. Let it grow, boy. That's what I'm talking about. Put it up there and let it grow. And you remember when we were talking about the spelling bee?

Uh-huh. This dude's son was like in Washington, D.C. and the spelling bee. This man is a renaissance man, and I really like him. Mr. Snap, you may ought to look at getting your own podcast. You're quite an interesting family. Looks like he's got one. And then Michael, I don't know from where. Martin, you opened that package, didn't you?

Oh, yeah. From, what's the North Fork? North Fork fishing. He made us some custom baits. So Galvin's got one out of the package right there. Oh, I was thinking it's a North Fork where the Ruffman lived. Uh-uh. No.

Well, look at here. Well, that may be why he named was coming. Got me a personalized square bill. Square bill, boys. I'm going to catch me a little white. Hey, shallow-a-bate. And then this was sent to the duck-call room as well. I only assume it's for you, Godwin.

Home-style can-O-Cre. Is that pickled ochre? Pickled Deal-Ocra. That was for Godwin. It had Godwin's name on it. No, holl at you boy. O-Kra. Hey, big band says he'll take it.

Do you want it? He don't want it. He'll like it. I'll like it. I'm a giving person. And you can have that. I will share with everybody. It ought to be against the law to grow it.

Are you about to eat that right now? Of course I am because it says on the deal made by squareheaded Germans. That's hilarious. Squareheaded Germans. That's what it says. Square heads, yeah. Pop. It's fresh.

It's fresh. Oh, yeah. Are you about to eat that? And he's going to eat it. God, when you don't eat ok. Half a jar, he's going to have about a half a jar. It ought to be against a law to grow it. I think that's against a lot.

Olive Geroord. Come here. Come here, boy. Well, get out of that. But that's pickled. So I've never tried a pickled, Ocler's.

That's good. Right now. Put a camera on the man's face. I know. I know that's good, okay. Boy, is that good. Yeah. I know that's good.

Try one, Guy. Is it slimy? No. No. That's pickle. They've been pickled. Yeah, it's been pickled. Who ever sent this?

Send an email. That's good stuff. I'm telling you. I ain't even tried it to. I can't try it. We'll try it. All right. Godwin hates.

and he just took a bite. He's chewing slowly. I'm telling you, that ain't won't last long. Martin ate that whole thing. Martin went back for seconds. Godwin's still contemplating. I could eat these.

Yeah. And God would have eaten those. Somebody just changed Godwin's mind. No, I ain't changed his mind. This tastes like a deal pickle. Yeah, that's it. Oh, really? Yeah.

Oh, that's good stuff. Why did we send those over there? No, no, no, that's good stuff, I'm telling you. I'm not. I'm not as giving as I once was. He said he changed his mind on giving that way now. I thought they'd be gross. Now I'm interested.

Oh, Well, go get you one. There you go. I'm telling you they're good. I don't think you can throw those. They might go crazy. But anyways, I think that's all the birthday gifts. We got a lot of stuff in the mail this week.

Thank you all the gifts. I would like to thank you for the pigletoeuv. I would like to thank the square-headed Germans. I would eat these before I starved. death but he'll need them before he's talked about it makes sense I think these just for fun I got two Bible verses this week so should we go ahead and throw those

out or did you have one nope I'm gonna line on you JD we got we got two this week because uncle sigh brought one in a break that we have to mention but the one I had ready number 624 through 26 this is for

And you children. Amen and amen. Anytime the Lord is looking at you and showing his face, that's a good one. That is a solid one. All right. And then I got to bring the one that God, Pastor God went over there brought up. And my man, Uncle Sy, we were talking in the break about heaven. And God, we got to preach and I said, turn those cameras back.
