Episode Date: April 18, 2024

Uncle Si’s irrational fear of grandmothers comes out after John-David reveals that he got beat down on the pickleball court by a 70 year old woman! John-David’s double first cousin Heath Arthur tries to convince Si to return to the seas on a cruise ship since he’s a cruise director and Stone dives into Heath’s upbringing in Cajun country to relive some of he and Si’s best memories in South Louisiana. Si recalls the clever way his mama made a life for herself during World War 2 and the typical but hilarious “dad joke" his dad played on him after his first duck. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey, welcome back Uncle Sy to the Duck Call Room. Well, I appreciate that. I love having you here. Hey, look, I like being here. It's your show. We cover some good topics. We have a lot of topics to get to today. We have a Jay Stone in the house, and then we also have a special guest.

Martin has a stomach bug. I don't know what's happening there, but it sounds like he's on the toilet. Kids. Yeah, that's what's happening. But we have my cousin. Right, there you go. son of Mac Owen, Heath Arthur is in the house today. There you go.

I mean, not just your cousin, your double first cousin. Let's not go down that road. That's going to confuse people. Did we cover that story when Mac was here? We did not. Well, we definitely have to cover that story. So Heath was the best man in my wedding. And we're related.

We're as close to brothers as you can be without being brothers. Yeah. Because we share grandparents, but we don't share parents. That's true. All the people in Alabama are right. Okay, yeah, cool. Makes sense. For the rest of the world, and especially our UK listeners.

So my mom and Heath's mom are sisters, and my dad and Heath's dad are brothers. So I don't, do you ever hear how that worked? No, I don't know how, because my dad met my mom first. Yes. And then, yeah, how did your mom and dad, what happened there? I have no idea. I guess Big Dave saw her at something and swooped in. Saw her at the wedding.

It was like, hey, she's cute. She's cute. Probably was probably sorry to wedding. Yeah. Oh, I don't know. I have no idea how. How do we not go to that story? I do, I just realized I had no idea.

Maybe he thought his mom was good looking and then saw, oh, she's got a sister. It looks just like her. There you go. That's probably what happened. That makes sense. It could have happened. So that's how we're double first cousin. So that is how me and he look a lot alike and talk alike.

We do. I'm taller though. Yeah. And stronger. And older. I know Mary, but I probably met her, but. You know my mom. Big Jan?

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. All right. Hey, look. He don't know. No, that's fine. It's fine. He meets a lot. Right. They're really good ladies. They are. They're great. Great ladies. Okay. Great lady. Yep. Yeah. Sure.

So Heath is, what do you do, Heath? You're part of this whole Duck Commander family. Yes. Via Mac and you were best friends with Willie for a minute there. Yep. Yeah. Willie was in my wedding. Corey is our other mutual cousin. I was. We share all of the same cousins.

We do share all of the same cousins. We share all the same cousins. Man, we share cousins. Yep, on both sides. Yeah, that's true. It's true. There's some confused people out there. There are.

There are. No, and I got into the Duck Commander family through Corey and Willie, and then I used to fix the computers down at Duck Commander. It was great. I would always show up at about 12 o'clock, and Ms. Kay would make lunch. Then everybody would fall asleep, and then I'd go work on the computers, and she'd send me home with the sweet potato pie. So that's how I got my start.

That's pretty good. That's pretty good start. That was a great start. Go leave Miss Gay and Wood a sweet potato pie. class. Yeah. That's better in money. No, it's good. And she, so I hosted the Duck Commander Cruises. And Ms. Kay told me, she said, you know what?

I've always thought of you as my fifth son. And if I'm being honest, you're probably my favorite. That's not true. She said that. She said it. I know for a fact, that's not true. I don't know that it was true, but she said it. Uh-oh. Well, I just know for a fact because neither of you were Jeb.

Y'all might be the second favorite. Now, I know Jeb's the favorite, but she told me that. Oh, there's no doubt about that. She tells you that too Yeah Oh yeah Oh she's been telling me that for years Miss Kay just tossing out

The oh goodness It's all coming to light I'm sorry I'm sorry she lied to you stone I'm sorry Oh but you did host So if you recognize Heath From anything

If you went on the duck commander cruise Which was your favorite thing ever right? Yeah No We did two of them The stupid crews Like they killed me So I loved him

He loved him No I didn't We went from one end of the ship To the opposite end of the ship 17 times a day. Oh, yeah. Okay, and look, I got bad lungs, boys. Y'all like to kill me on that thing.

Hey, we had sigh on water slides in his cowboy boots. Yeah. And so much. It was awesome. Not once. Try about 35 times. One more time. Why were you doing?

You don't have to hold it. That thing's about 150 foot up down. I got to go up the stupid ladder. They were making you. Hey, I had to slide down it. Slide down it this way. Fall out this way. Do this.

Was there like a special play in the pool with Safer? I guess. I don't know. Those people paid a lot of money for that. They did. Well, they did. Did you get ripped off? No, I got a lot of money.

I was going to say, I bet you got compensated for it. Yeah, I got compensated for my trouble. Okay. So, Heath, how, Caleb, you direct their cruise? What is a cruise director? Are you cruise director? So I'm the host of the Caleb Cruise. And so I operate as a cruise director for the week.

So all he is is the man to say you take care of that, you take care of that. Yep. You take care of that. And meantime, okay. When you have a problem, contact. See, now, Cy's a cruise director. That's it. That's all you're a problem solver.

You know how many cruises I've been on, Sae? How many? Zero. You didn't miss nothing. Zero. You didn't miss nothing. I will not. Get on a cruise ship.

No. I don't. God would love it. God would love the cruises. It was fun in a way. You get trapped on a big boat with people you don't know. You can't go nowhere. I mean, that's accurate.

You're stuck there. You stuck. Well, Phil spent his time in the poop, baptizing everybody. Yeah, that makes better sense. Oh, yeah. I was about saying. I was picturing him. I ain't.

No, no. Just swimming. No. No, that's the wrong picture. If he ain't baptized, he ain't there. Okay. But he did baptized a bunch. There's two things I ain't doing.

One of them's a cruise. Those ones watch the softball game. Oh, here we go. I used to be into cruises, but now, now, you know, some stuff happened a few years ago that we can't say or YouTube will be like, hey, they're not experts in the field. I ain't getting anywhere I can't walk back home because whenever, you know, I was like April of 2020 and people lived on a cruise ship for the next three months, hard pass. Yeah. They were sticking them people on there. Yeah. Sorry, Heath, we're doing a terrible job advertising for your cruise stuff. Thank you. I'm glad to be here, guys.

That's awful. The last place you wanted to be was on a cruise ship. Oh, yeah. I mean, at that time for sure. But now it's back. Yeah, yeah, no, it's back full force. Full force. We're having a good time.

Normal. Yeah, it's awesome. Stone's not going. Stone's not going to go. But Heath will be there. I'll be there. We'll go ahead. There's John David's in.

There's one of those buckets list. Okay, yeah, I've crossed it off and never bring it up again. Yeah. That's about like, well, me and you went ice fishing. Remember that? Remember what? Wait, what? We're going to ice fishing.

That sounds great. Oh, yeah. In Minnesota. No, ice fishing is a joke. No good? Were you in one of little houses on a lake? Oh, yeah. The time that got me about that is they're buying brand new pickups just off the lot.

It's two foot of snow on the ice on the lake. And here comes this guy driving a brand new pickup with nothing to street tires on and get stuck. He didn't worry about it. He just got out and started fishing. Yeah. He's not worried about the stuck truck. Yeah. So they love it.

They love it. I don't trust ice. Me? No. Now, I enjoy fishing on water. Mm-hmm. Okay, where if they're not biting here, you go to the next place and then you find, you know, and they finally bite. You don't have to drill a hole.

Yeah. Right. You know, we're sitting there, and the first time I dropped it, you know, they got a camera down there. Mm-hmm. And he said, oh, here comes a big one. You know, and I set the hook on him and get him up. Yeah. I said, boys, I said, we use this for bait.

You remember the aqua views? They dropped the aqua view down by your bait. But it made it look like the fish was 10 times bigger than what it was. And then when you got it up. He would come up to the bait and those Yankees would be like, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. And the side was set the hook and reel it in to be a little minute. That's right.

They're all celebrating. They're all celebrating. They're so far as a Shiner. Yeah. I said, so them cameras are no good. They're not, they're not right. I said, because they're making them, These little shiners look like they're for a pound, two pounds.

And I said, yeah, okay. I said, what cost that off the list? Never bring it up again. Yeah. We're just going down the things you're never going to do again. Okay, so we got cruises and ice fishing. What's another? The last thing I'm going to do, okay, is I'm going to drive a drag racer with the big balloon tires.

Yeah. But I'm going to be high. I'm going to hide the way to the doctor says you ain't got by two weeks to live. Then I'm going to call him to say, okay, get the drag race. are ready I fix it go out but I'm gonna go out in glory boys because I'm gonna break the current record for the how fast it goes what is the current record about 360 something for a half mile so I'm gonna beat that when I when I do it okay because you're not worried about having to stop I worried about how I yeah yeah if it blows up kills me the all I want to say is

I don't think they're worried about I want to be in heaven and when somebody says yep well he went out in glory and he did break the fastest record sir I don't think they're worried about the car blowing up. I think they're worried about your heart blowing up. Oh, he ain't worried about that. That's why I said, hey, I've got a way. Yeah, I've got to wait to the doctor says you're on your way out. Because he says that thing pulls, you got to think about it. It's thing pulls five to seven Gs when it's going down at racetrack. 338.

Oh, 338? Oh, good grief. I need, hey, I need to talk to me, tell me, I'm on my way. I go break that thing, 3.30, good grief. No cruises, no ice fishing, 340 miles per hour. He's in. I'm going to beat the world record. If I do it, hand on that in my mind. We're going to take a break. Yeah, let's take a quick one. We'll be back.

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 Trial's 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 Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritails 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 Tritale'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 trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Heath, you have a bit of an interesting story. I do.

That we might need to touch on. Yes. Because you're not just your typical, you know, life story. No. Well, because you introduced me as Heath Arthur. and your last name is Owen. And we share grandparents. Correct.

So that is confusing. There's a different. Yeah. There's a different last name there. Yes. So my parents met a little younger. They were living a little bit of a different lifestyle. And so I was adopted by another family down in South Louisiana. I grew up a Cajun, about 30 miles off the Gulf of Mexico.

If you don't know anything about Cajun culture, they made a very helpful documentary called the Waterboy. Painfully accurate. Painfully accurate. So I grew up down. So I said, I have not seen that documentary. So have you seen Adam Sandler's the water boy where he plays the foosball? No. Okay.

Oh, my God. We'll show up to you. You're really going to enjoy it. So, yeah. I think I've seen a little bit of it. I grew up down in South Louisiana and then I met our family when I was 19. And so I have known Mac and Mary, I've got two sisters. John Davis, my double first cousin, our extended families here.

And we have been, you know, doing life for the last. 30-something years. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah, it's a very interesting story. It's wild. Yeah. So I was like six and all of a sudden I just had this adult male cousin who could

like bench press and was the size of a house. So he's basically been my hero ever since because I was like, sweet, I have a cousin. And it was really cool. But then we got beat by an old lady in pickleball yesterday. Man, that was rough. We got beat by seven. You know how we've been on a, me and my wife have been on a mission to beat Sadie and Christian pickleball?

What we got, me and Heath got beat by Sadie and not Christian, just Chris, her grandma. Her grandmother. Two mama. 71 years old. She never. Two mama can play. Yeah. You learned that?

I just thought maybe we had a chance. She's not a typical, she's a super grandma. I mean, that's true. Hey, most grandmals are super. Yeah. Okay. Hey. Yeah.

But yeah, I think I'm going to hang it up. I don't think I'm going to beat those people from the other side of the field. No. It was tough. I mean, now, in my defense, it was one of my first pickleball games. And now that I've played like 10, I feel like if I play her again, there's no way she's going to beat me by that much again. But she will beat you. Oh, yeah, yeah, but I'm going to make it a better game.

Sadie's just over there laughing at us. Yeah, Sadie was, yeah. It was embarrassing. Why, you're talking about two bomb? Good, great. Oh, too, Mom. Yeah. Yeah, I'm telling you.

It is funny how, so Corey's mom is my aunt Chris. He's Aunt Chris. But everyone on Earth calls her two mama because that's what John Luke started calling her years ago. Like, even Sikaws are two moms. No law. Yeah. It's just her name. That's the only license plate.

That is awesome. Yeah. Next door neighbors with stone, so he knows the license plates coming in and out. That's crazy. Anyway, yeah, we got beat. Yeah. Probably the... It's a long story, you know, he took back up and then we got beat by an old lady and pickleball.

I mean, that's the end of the story, basically. Yeah. I think that's the only person I'm really scared of as a grandma. That's fair. Yeah. No, I'm serious. Yeah. Mom's bad enough.

but you flew with a grandmama? Mm-hmm. You've lost your mind. Yeah. But don't play them in pickleball. Oh, I'm not. What happened that you feel this way? Well, no, no, because I didn't, I always tell people, I never got to know my grandfathers.

And it's always been a big issue with me. Because grandmoms and grandfathers give kids they'll find nowhere else on this earth. Mm-hmm. that the wisdom they have and they've got time. They've already raised their kids. And now they really have got time for the grandkids. And when they get sick of them, they just tell you, come get these terrible kids.

Why the kids got to be terrible? Huh? Why the kids got to be terrible? Oh, why? They are. Because they ain't got no sense. I didn't have no one else kids. My kids are wild.

But, you know, I'm just telling you, that's like my grandmama you're like mama you're like mama now mama's died when she was 94 she actually was a riveter on a b 52 what does that mean that's impressive you never seen rosy the river you ain't never seen a b52 bomber i know what a b 52 is i don't know what a river she riveted she riveted putting it together oh so she was she worked on b52 bombers that's what mom did that's what my mom did okay daddy joined the navy and he went to war mom just you know she she joined him in california and the way she did civilians couldn't travel on buses or trains all that so she would just grab a sailor or a marine or army guy and say i'm your wife till we get to the

next place we stop that's why she went she went to california when daddy signed up and you know enlisted in the day. Yeah, she lived to be 94, right, side? And we know, you know,

you know what Phil said when she died? I think so. He said, well, he said, cigarettes finally got it. Got it

94. But hey, no, no, I remember, I look at it today and I'm just amazed that none of us

died from cancer. Mm-hmm. Oh, well, Judy did. But anyway, because, hey,

you'd go down the mom and daddy's house, and they'd be in there playing dominoes and it would look like there's a cloud in the house with him. Oh, you're just smoking in the house?

Because it was, hey, it would be. Real Cajuns. It'd be, yeah, no, I get that. It would be that tucked from the ceiling down just right above your head. Yeah. You know, and Jason and Al, they're there playing with mom and dad, Domino. Oh, yeah. They, they, we were all brought up just in a smoke fog.

I'm serious. I believe you. Oh, no, I'll just say, you know. Is that what it was like in South Florida? is it? Because you grew up south of I-10, which is a whole other country. Oh, it's a different planet. No, I was, I mean, I was real close to the Gulf of Mexico.

But, yeah, we didn't, like, if my parents were smoking in the car, we didn't crack the windows. Like, it's just a fog in there. Yeah. That's how we lived. What town do you grow up in? New Iberia. New Iberia. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's, that's, that's conical.

There it is. There it is. You can say it. That's a whole discussion on it. No, no, I accept that word. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, they all do. Yeah, that's what we are. They're great people.

Oh, good people. Yep. Real good people. They are. I agree. Look, I didn't get to really enjoy it until Doug D.C. hit, and then I got invited, come to DC fishing. Oh, yeah.

So that's a totally different world. When he says that, that's the truth of the matter. His favorite place on Earth is the marsh. It's the marsh. Mm-hmm. That's where he grew up. Hey, you go as far as you can. can then how you ain't going no further unless you're in a pee roll or a boat yeah you're gonna love

the water boy when you find you're gonna you're gonna really like when you're out there you have no idea what you're going to see and like when something hits your bait you have no idea what you're getting until you get it up at where you see it the first time i fished i fished i fished for three days and the only thing I reeled in was a head. Just a head? Just a head. Everybody else was, oh, good news. You got 15 pounds red sniper.

No, fished. I said, well, mine probably weighed probably close to that, but all I got into the boat was that. What happened to it? Shark. A shark. Shark. For three days, everything I hooked into and started reeled in, never made to the boat.

You got real faster, man. I know. That's what they told me. Hey, I couldn't do it. No one's fast enough. The wildlife variety is unreal. I mean, you can see a Brommer bull out in the middle of the swamp. Okay, and then you can see him being chased by a big alligator.

You've seen these things? Oh, yeah. In the marsh. You've seen a Brahma bull being chased by out of 15, 15, 17, 17. I was with him. I can confirm. You did see this too. I saw the Bromber Bull, but I did not see the alligator that was tasting.

I told him, I said, hey, there was an alligator. That bull was running. There was an alligator swimming behind him. And they said, get out of here. I said, hey, I'll just tell you what I saw. Look, we got in the boat. We had already went 10 miles. And I looked up, I was like, is that a cow?

In the middle of the marsh? He said, oh, yeah, they're all out here. Yeah. You know, they were just standing there looking. Yeah. It was kind of weird. Yeah. Because, hey, I was just, when I looked over, I said, wait a minute, that looks like a stupid Brammer bull.

And the guy said, it is. And I said, what's he doing that? We've been running for 10 hours. You know, he said, oh, they live out here. And I said, cattle in a marsh. Oh, this is part of some ranch. That's a weird. It's a weird.

Little bitty strips of land that they travel. They just stay on it. They just stay on it. Don't they stay on little ridges. I don't think I'd make it below I'd 10. It's different. Yeah. Hold on.

It's a different lifestyle all together. Oh, yeah. I like them all. If my wife leaves me, that's where you'll find me. That's where you're going? South Louisiana. Okay. I'm going deep south.

Deep South. Deep South. Just a hut. Well, you can't beat it. Oh, it's great. You're never going to go hungry. No. And good people.

Okay. Hey, and hey, the people there, you're talking about pioneers. They're actually. They actually came from France is where the Cajuns. It was French. Oh, yeah. No, in the airport down there in Lafayette.

When they play announcements, it's in English and French. What? Yeah. There's that many French speakers? Where they came from France, went to Canada, Quebec. Yeah. And then the original Cajuns came from Canada. They was actually the real pioneers.

The real pioneer. I mean, hey, them. If you chose to stop where there's, apparently bulls and alligators chasing bulls, you've got to be a different sort of human. Well, here's the time about it. They're just like the native Indian. Okay.

Because they can live anywhere. Okay. Resilient. Resilience. Hey, you put them in a desert? They're going to adapt and live in. You know, in their mind, they had to be thinking, we're going to find the worst possible place to live on earth.

And stay there. We will be left alone here. Yeah. We can thrive all by ourselves. It was a bunch of stuff. They were like, you know what? There's nobody else's coming here. I like it here.

They would. And then one of them was looking at a crawfish and said, I bet you we could eat that. Let's eat that. Oh, he didn't thank it. He says, hey, put him in a brawl. Think about occasion. They will eat anything. Anything.

I don't eat anything. I'll eat a lot of stuff. Have you ever had gumbo with chicken feet in it? No. Not chicken legs. Chicken feet. Feet. Just a feet.

Oh, yeah, my grandpa. Yeah, I remember cooking it. And my aunts would, they'd fight over her. who'd get the chicken feet. No. Oh, yeah. They chewed the feet? Yeah.

I mean, it's chicken feet, yeah. Just gnaw on it. Got some flavor. Can you swallow a chicken foot? I mean, I guess you can swallow anything if you work hard enough. It's rough. It's good roughets. Yeah.

But is that like page and bubble gum? I didn't eat the chicken feet. Oh, you never ate chicken feet? I did not eat the chicken feet. No, no, no. My aunts did. That's just weird. Well, that's like most people just like, oh, gizzard.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, if you know what you're doing and clean it properly and cook it, it's delicious. You know who has the best gizzard? Coot. Coutes got a good gizzard. They got a run on the water for about 565 yards. I think the cages call them Poo do. Oh, yeah, pool do. First duck I ever killed was a coup.

That's the first one I killed, J.D. Really? I'm serious. That's what I'm talking about. Yes. Me and Daddy are in the duck blind. Okay, and I see a duck out there in the decor and I said, daddy, there's a duck in the decart He said, okay, just wait. He said, you see them three pieces of grass sticking up over here

on the right? I said, yep, he said put that 16 gauge right in the middle of it He said when he sticks his head up blow it off So I put there and when he come up boom Yeah, so he goes through this wow long story about art We got to go out and get him. You know, we got to go out and get him. I'm proud that I could be I don't, y'all ducks, y'all. So we go home and he said, all right, you got to pick him and clean him real good. So I pick him and clean him, you know, sends him and clean him.

He said, all right, go down there to which you had and find me about, oh, about eight inch board, you know, one by eight piece of now. So I get it, you know, clean. He's cleaned it up real good. I do. I clean the board up real good. And I'll wash it off now. He said, all right, now put the duck on it.

I did. He said, now, get your salt and pepper ready. He said lightly salted, you know, an idea. He said, now he said, cover it completely with black pepper. It's a lot of black pepper. Oh, yeah. So, hey, I'm, you know, I think solid black, okay? Black is just right here.

Inside that apple. He said, all right, put it in the oven and turn it on a full blast. And he said, and burn him to a crisp. He said, now take him and grab it board. He's on the board. had a board, throw the duck outside, and eat the board. I had a feeling the board was going to come in. I was going to digest.

Oh, man. Is that a true story? That's a true story. How old? How old? All I was, what, five? Yeah. The gun was bigger than I was, but I did kill that sucker.

A five-year-old shooting a 16. Yeah. 16. Yeah. Boom. That was my first duck, a poodle duke. Yeah. They ain't much.

They're not much for table fair. I remember smelling a coop gumbo one time, and it was pretty messy. Yeah, that sounds like it might have chicken made in it. Cajun cooked it. As soon as they open the lid, we all just,

whoa. Phil said, that's pretty stout, smell in there, son. Phil ate a little bit of it. He said, hey, he said, I found out something today. Now that all cage is getting cooked. He said, some of them can't.

He said, that's good. Did you eat a lot of weird stuff growing up here? I mean, I don't think so. Just chicken feet? Yeah, well, okay, I did not eat the chicken feed. But yeah, I mean, that was kind of, I just remember specifically seeing that in the pot. You know, you don't forget that. But, I mean, you know, we had alligator, stuff like that.

But for me, it was more like everything that we had. Like, you couldn't get gumbo at the store or at a restaurant. You just made that at home. So it was just, we just had a lot of Cajun food as our normal food. Yeah. That was just food. It wasn't cage. It wasn't cage.

It was just dinner. Yeah. Well, there's nothing they won't try to eat. And most of the stuff that they do eat, they cook it very well. It's very good. You know, like shrimp, all your fish. Oh, yeah. Your crabs, all that stuff.

You know, they cook that. And, I mean, it is excellent. I'm in. Yeah. We talk about food a lot. I like it. It's the pot. You know.

Well, it goes with a cool. Oh, sure, see. You know what I tried? I'll tell you about the turkey necks. Turkey necks are good. Done right. Turkey neck is incredible. Did you cook it?

All right. That's nothing wrong, Shreport. It's just like the rest of the towns. Sucks. Got a lot of trouble. I'm sorry. I can't. It is gar-hold.

Oh, Shreveport. Hey, go ahead. Okay. He's originally from Jackson, Mississippi. We're trading one gar-haw. Another gar-old. and that's where all his family's from. His dad is wanting him to move over

and take over his construction business, but his girlfriend is dead set on staying in Shreeport. Do y'all have any advice on how I can convince her to move? And he said he's not going to body slammer, but Gobwin's not here so you would not get that advice. And he doesn't want to start any arguments or fights. Well, my first question. It's a great opportunity, he says, for business of his dad.

Well, yeah. My first question is, darling. what's what's the problem with going home and taking over dad's business that he worked hard for his children? I don't know. Okay, this is going to put money in your pocket to go shopping, you know, and it's going to help dad out. He needs his son to help him run the business. Well, my first question will be, is the business profitable? He said it's a great opportunity.

It's a great opportunity. I mean, I'm all far. Leave the woman there and go. It's not his wife. It's kind of like a boy that sung the song about fishing. And she said, hey, if you go fishing today, I won't be here when you get back. And he's out on Lake and he said, hold that thought. He said, he said, I got the back.

I'm sure going to miss her. That's about where I'm at with your girlfriend, your son. You know, hey, look, you know, dad wants me to help him with the business. you know that's what we've all been thinking about growing up his dad started the business and we're going to help him along yeah now it's came to fruitation fruation yeah i would just have to tell delicious treat well darling i'm going to miss you but hey i'm me and dad's we got a business around fruitation is the sole reason duck dynast to exist i don't know if it's going to help you there buddy but hey you know in all honesty i can't go against it

the son and the father. Oh, yeah. Heath, you've moved a lot. I can't go. You move to Colorado. Now you're in Georgia working for a warrior poet society. Yep, yep, yep. So I would move.

Yeah, yeah. Especially if you could go home, working with your dad, business he built. Yeah. Yeah. She's got to get on board with that. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I was a dream when he was a young man that he's going to start a business. And then him and his son are going to make it big. Anybody that's got any like just loves Shreeporty. that much. I got a lot of questions. Yeah. My wife's from there. She thought it was awesome. And then she like grew up and realized, no, no, it's just Shreveport. Yeah. But I would say the same thing about West Monroe. No. I would say the same thing about Munro. Westman Row is way better. But yeah, it's just Shreport. Here's the thing. It's your job to make everything better wherever you go.

That's a good point. Wow. No, no. That's why I'm saying. Okay. Hey, look, you're supposed to leave wherever you go, you're supposed to leave it better than when you can't arrive. That's good policy. So, hey, girl, get on board and go help dad and your husband. Yeah, girl. Well, they're not married. Make all this money. Yeah, they're not married.

So that's a weird, it's a girlfriend for three years and, yeah. Yeah, this is not even worse discussing since J.D. brought that up. Uh-oh. It'd be a different story if you was already married. Imagine. But, hey, that ain't, this is just a possibility in your life. Yeah. So, hey, I got to go again, like Stone said, hey, me and dad are going to make some money.

Hang around if you want to. And maybe you'll get to spend somebody. All right. That's a good point. Here's the next one. Evan from West Virginia and Evan, I'm worried. West Virginia by God. Because, hey, I had a friend from there.

He never said West Virginia last year, added Bag God. I thought it was by God West Virginia. Well, either way. I don't know. As long as God is done that. Evan is from West Virginia. Evan, I got a lot of questions. He's 13 years old and he's homeschooled.

Me and my homeschool friends get together Friday. I apologize for the chuckle, but you're going to hear why. My teacher and I had a really confusing conversation about if a fish can drown. He says yes. I don't, if that's what they're teaching at homeschools in West Virginia, then I'm worried about the education system. How can a fish drown? How can a fish drown? in the air?

Their gills, I may be wrong. No, we're going to. But I doubt it. But I doubt it. Now I was on Amazon and wherever books yourself. You've got my, this has got my complete attention. Now, this happened. I was with the Godwin, fishing.

And we were doing a technique called Long Lining. Okay, and that's when you're going about one mile an hour. You're dragging the base behind you. We were going from one spot to the next, so we got up to about two miles an hour. But we had the menace on the hooks. And God would say, round them minors in, they're going to drown.

And I said, what did you say? Real that minute's in. Hang on. He said, reel them minors in, are they going to drown? And I said,

you reel them in. I'm going to leave mine out because fish don't drown. Well, you know what? When we got to where we were going, they were dead. Mine were dead.

Yeah. And his were alive. They drowned. They can drown. All right, Evan. I apologize for all the homeschool jokes. wanted to make, fish can drown. Godman showed us.

Minters can. This is still suspect to me. True story. Until I get further research on them. Okay. Because, you know, it just don't seem possible that a fish that lives in water can drown. But I may be in there there. I don't know.

I'm not going to say yea or nay until I do a little more research. We probably should have waited for Martin to not be on the toilet. Yeah, because he would know this. Yeah. Oh, well. Martin probably gives us a hand and I'll bring Martin. But we're going to take Godwin's word for it. Yeah.

Well, hey. My men is word dead. Okay, that's hard to argue. Roos in the putting. Hey, he said he's in the back there. Okay. I'm going to refrain from state now. What?

Whether I'm into it or not. You're going to go watch a bunch of PBS and we pull back? Well, I'm going to try. No, I'm going to get home when I'm going to have my wife Google it. Okay. I was about saying. Are you going to go to the library? But I do think I thought I saw somewhere where if the water comes,

the opposite through the gills that it's supposed to. Oh, wait a minute. I made me in error because, hey, humans, when they dive, if they come up too fast, they get the bends. Fish, it happens the same thing if a fish comes up too quick. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I've had them with their eyeballs popping up in the head. Yeah, yeah, they look.

So it may. I'm still it's still suspect I ain't I convinced yet but yeah the beans and all that yeah yeah it may be right and there's something with sharks too

like if they stop moving they'll drown they gotta keep moving yeah it's got like the water's got to keep going through their gills or something yep I don't know we should have Martin here to answer this yeah thank you right we need to we need an educated person

someone with more intelligence on this matter than me says hey it gives me the green left. Evan? Yeah, they do drown. We're going to find out for you and all the other West Virginia homeschool kids. But it's looking like that's probably right. That's outward. Yeah, yeah. But I'm not totally convinced.

I'm heartheaded. I got to be proven it is right. Okay, I'm going to send us out. We send end every episode of the Bible verse. Heath, thanks for being here. First Timothy, 4, 15 through 16. Be diligent in these matters. Give yourself holy to them so that everyone may

see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely, persevere in them because if you do, you will save both yourself and your listeners. Hey, this is for that girlfriend. What? This is your scripture, lady, read it. This is just the verse of the day. I like it. Hey, move to Jackson, Mississippi.

That's right. It's at least in a song. We'll see you all next time. Right here in the Duck Park. Oh, that was a great one.
