All right, welcome back to the Duck Call Room. We're here again. Shocker. Here we are. Yeah, we're here following a holiday weekend, so everything's good. Yeah. It's all a good time. I notice around the room other than Sae, we all look a little more sunkissed than apparently we have been in the past.

Cy is still living in his house. Yeah, I see it. Was it. Not seeing the outside and, you know. Well, hey, what did you do for the holiday weekend, anything? Does it? Watch a gun smoke marathon or something. I watched grit all the westerns.

Yeah, that's a good chance. There wasn't nothing on there. I didn't. I've already seen it. I went to Perry Mason. I got no. Watch him win the cases. I would think that you've already seen everything on grit, right?

No. No, I actually seen one other day that I had never seen. Was it good? Yeah. But I seen a couple other day. I just thought I switched channels. Wasn't no good. Too slow.

Didn't keep my interest. How long does that take? Well, hey, it's got to be active, okay. But hey, I'm just saying like, PBS the other day, save me. Oh, here we go. Okay, hey, they had about the Caribbean reefs systems. Interesting. Oh, it was.

Was it the Caribbean's or the Caribbean? No, the Caribbean. Oh, okay. I'm a Caribbean kind of fella. And, hey, they had a lot of pretty stuff in there on the ocean on the reef. Yeah. A lot of, anything you could eat? Oh, yeah.

A lot of that. Yeah. Yep. And then there's a lot of things that would eat you. I don't like that. Uh-uh. Oh, no. Hey.

Speaking of things that could eat you. Uh, Johnny Deid, did I see you that picture? Yes, you did. No, your boy Jace called a shark. I think it might have been. Oh, no, no, what it was in about Obama? Oh, yeah. Oh, it was, it was quite a spectacle.

And he drew a crowd real fast. So, there it is. Oh, that is. Oh, it's nice. That's me doing the old Catching release. But let me tell you something about the sharks. You've got to be real careful when you grab a hole to them things. What are you talking about?

No, every year we go to the beach for family vacation. And I still hadn't figured out the draw to the beach. I mean, why people would spend thousands of dollars to go to a, go sleep in a strange bed and sit out and sun. and get burnt. Yeah. And get sand in every oilfish you've got.

That's right. There it is. That's waiting for it. And half-necked women running around. Well, yeah. I mean, who's got time for that? And you can't drink the water. Sounds like hell to me.

All right. Anyways. That's Phil. Yeah. I'm with him on that. But I do it, you know, just try to keep my wife happy. Hey, there it is. But anyways, we decided, me and Jason said,

we're going to try to catch these little pop a nose, which are good to eat. Oh, I caught one of them. If you're going to be at the beach, we're going to put up an umbrella, put up about four fishing poles. That's a beautiful fish. Oh, it is.

So we got four Pompano rigs out there, and Pompano was not that big of fish. But a big one's, what, five pounds? Maybe, yeah. Maybe. Yeah. But they're delicious. They're delicious.

Kind of like a saltwater crappie. Yeah, they are a fine table fair. So we're sitting out there right after daylight. and one of his polls just started going and I look up and it looked like a small child just come out of the wild. I mean, I say small. I mean, you can see it.

That's about a what? Yeah, five, six footer. Five footer, yeah. So, and he's got 20-pound line, 40-pound later, mono. That he got from the honey hole. He did. Yep, he did. James pulled it up for him at the morning he went to the beat.

Oh, by the way, y'all fleece him on that. 20 pound test. He told me how much he paid for it. I said, yeah. That's what happens when you buy your reel somewhere else. Yeah, Johnny D. Got his. Yeah, when you bring in a reel from the internet,

the line gets more expensive. Yeah, that's right. Binder's feet. Hashtag shop local. Anyway. But anyway, is that, that's all the splash. I thought, boy, that kind of looked like sharp. And I thought, no.

He ain't been sharp. That thing would have cut the line already. So, long story short, 45 minutes later. Of course, when he tells a story to be, hour and a half. He did actually. He actually got him and landed.

He told me. Well, you're looking at it. Yeah. Yeah. So the, the only way he could have landed him is if that thing had a metal leader in his mouth, which is what the case was. That shark had bit a shark rig that somebody was actually fishing for sharks with a metal leader. Okay. But he broke their main line.

So all the rigging was still in his mouth. It was about, I'd say. 30 foot of rigging. Good grief. Weight and metal leader hooks, everything. He swam by. Oh, and it got tangled up? Yep.

He swam by and that rigging got tangled up in somebody else's popinot rig. There was three popinot rigs tangled up in that shark's mouth with the shark rig. So he had done swammed by two other popinot fishing. Broke them off. Yeah, broke them off. Got the old Jace down there. And hey, look at you, old lucky Jay. He didn't break it off.

And Jay's got him to the, hey. That goes back to that mule. That's right. I'm telling you. And then he looked at me, he said, what are you going to do with it? I said, what are you going to do with it? He said, I ain't getting nowhere near it. So what are you going to do with it?

Yeah. Hey, Dave. Come on, buddy. What kind of shark is that, Martin? I don't know much about shark. I mean. Fan shark. PBS knows.

PBS nose, baby. That's the sand. Look at that. That's where one of those, what's that called, a Ramora. Was on him? Yeah, there was about three of those on it. I mean, ain't they're saying, they can call it like black tips or something.

I thought that was a black tip maybe. It is. It's a black tip sand shark. A reef shark. Yeah, I don't know. Something like that. I don't know. But anyways, he didn't broke off three other lines before he got to Jace.

Jace landed him. And then he asked me to go. Why does that knock? And then he stood six feet behind him to take a picture. Well, that's right. Oh, I don't blame him there. Because he got a lot to live for. Oh, I don't blame him back.

He is far back. I was in Virginia in one of them underground aquariums in the ocean. And look, they have some shark mouths sitting on things and said what kind of shark was. And I touched it, cut my finger. yeah so hey oh yeah he come he snapped at me when i grabbed by the tail oh yeah oh yeah they hey they're quick as the cat too and he was released unharmed yeah back i cut the leader and uh i didn't get real close to his mouth but closer and better than he was he was way better off than he than he was but he swam on off so look folks that moral that story is go the honey hole get you some

fishing line look what it'll catch you yeah i don't want to catch a shark i don't think five-foot shark but it was uh black tip Sand shark. Pretty miraculous deal. Sharks are fun. Yeah, you catch one. Me and Brittany went shark fishing. She got down there in hell and won.

I did all that mess. A lemon shark. Stone caught one. But the catch one on a popin'o rig. Oh, yeah. No, now, we were fishing for sharks. Right. This, yeah, no, that.

Now, Jayce told me the story on his drive back to the beach. It took significantly longer than what you just told me. But the same message for the most part. Yeah. I mean, it all got to the same place. My favorite part is his grandkids, almost as close as he is to it. Oh, yeah.

You know, that's cool. Yeah, he, uh, the old Jason. He looks a lot tougher than he is, don't he? I'm with him. I'm staying back. If I'd have caught a shark, I'd have got down there and played with him. I mean, I wouldn't lift him, obviously. No.

But I'd... Hey, that's because of his childhood. If you wallow and fish fish all your childhood. Yeah. Yeah, you don't, no, you don't fove fish. But he is quite the crowd gathered up by the time he got that thing to the bank. Well, he is a showman. I'll give him that.

Oh, yeah. He's quite a showman. It was pretty exciting. That's a good thing. Somebody need to feed, Jason. Yeah, well. He's been a while. He just been eating black and fish every now.

Well, they don't eat a whole lot down there. Yeah. It's just him and Missy now. That's right. He just goes, he goes, catches four fish out of Willie's Pond. Yeah, it ain't more, it ain't much. That's a pretty good system. Oh, yeah, he told me that day, well, this must have been a good spawn in Willie's Pond.

I said, no, we just put about 2,500 crappies in there. Yeah, it was a good spawn, all right. Well, Johnny D, you caught a fish about the same size over the weekend, didn't you? Go ahead and show everybody. I know you want to brag about it. I ain't got, oh, you got out of it. No, but you should be proud. Is this your personal best bass?

I don't know. I've never weighed a fish before. I don't really. I got a scale after that. I'll weigh him for you. All right, let's see it. Let's see him. Uh-oh.

I'm saying right below seven. No. Five and a half. Five and a half. Nope. What are you saying? It's seven. It's over seven.

We got over seven. I don't know about that. Yeah, it is. It was big, though. Hey, look at that belly. Yeah. It's a bit of a belly on. That's seven.

All right. Let's let the expert weigh in. Hey, who me? I already told him. I said between five and six, just from the picture. Because I don't, I mean, there's a lot I don't know. But his eyeball doesn't look big enough to be seven pounds plus. I went to.

So I'm not going, I'm just going off his eye because that's all I can really judge him. I will say I do own a scale now. Yeah. Well, I've owned lots of scales that were just for sale. But now I have one. Hey, ma'am on you. Not weighing him. I didn't have a scale.

Well, you could prove me right here. Where did you catch that fish? I'll say he's seven. Real close to your house. Real close to you're out. You catch that. Willie's Pond? Uh-huh.

That's good. He live scoping the boss's pond. I'll tell you, boy. Oh, you got a live-scope. On the kayak. Oh, yeah. Look at the gird on that thing. Look at Stone.

Yeah. We put a live scope on the kayak, and I watched that big blob attack a little chatterbop and just ripped him on out of there. That does. Is that the only big and you caught? That's the only big one I caught. We caught a real big brim and a real big croppy. I caught a croppy on a wacky one.

You threw them back, right? Mm-hmm. Okay. I threw everything back, sir. He threw it all back. How big was a cropy? He was good. He's a good one.

I got a picture. Yeah, he sent me a picture. Oh, I don't know. Big enough to eat a wacky worm. Yeah, he ain't big. Oh, man. Call him on a wacky worm no way. I mean, that's pretty good.

I like that wacky. That's the bait. I'm telling you. That is what Memorial Day weekend is good for. All right. That's what you are. Like catching fish, celebrating our freedom. Because I think the folks that laid down their life for us would refer us.

I mean, that's a good copy. That's a good copy. He'd be good to eat. He's back. Just fried, baby. I texted Willie, I said, you care if I put my kayak in your pond? I didn't tell him.

I guess I'm going to root it out. After you had it in. I guess I'm going to go to Willie's pond to fish anymore. Oh, here we go. I went fishing for the first time, but. I was going to go to a couple places. Then I was like, Memorial Day. I think I should just go around the corner.

There's going to be lots of people out. That's right. Lots of people. Pondoon boats everywhere. So I just went with the kayak in the old boss's pond. Stroked them. How many bass did you catch? Oh, like seven.

That's it? That's it. I was on the hunt for old Big Belly Kelly there the whole time. Oh, that's a new one. Big Belly Kelly. I wasn't looking for them regular-sized ones. He's just out there panning. He's going to pan that place to death for it's all over with.

Well, let's take our first break. We'll be back right after this. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. and y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Tritels Beef

makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left

in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with 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'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 trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. I managed to get my feet so that gung some burn. Oh, is it bad?

It's a good one. That's why I stay indoors. Well, you know, for. Because you can wear socks. Yeah, or shoes or sunscreen. Yeah. But I got so used to, you know, I got a new boat too, and I got so used to just always, I keep like three cans of sunscreen in my boat.

Well, and my switchover, my sunscreen didn't make it on the boat. But when I had the boat, I was like, oh, I got sunscreen in a boat. I mean, I've been doing it for 20 years. You just leave sunscreen in a boat until you get a new boat. Yeah. And then it don't make it over. And the next thing you know, your feet end up fried. Did I send you that, Johnny too?

your feet oh buddy let me just see i think i still got it so i took a picture of them you took your feet were that bad you took a picture well i felt like it needed to be doctor i saw a picture of your head on on the internet yeah my head that's just from a trucker hat i keep that look like a basketball got them got them seams on yeah take a gander at that oh oh oh boy how about that you you don't got red son that is what you call big time red that's what you're call burnt. Yeah, that's fast red. Yeah, I looked down at about two o'clock and I said, you know what, mistakes have been made. Yeah, that's never good. But at that point, what you're going to do? I ain't got nothing but flip flops. You got bubbles coming up, yeah. No, it calmed down pretty good.

I think they're just so used to getting burnt because they always end up like that in the spring and a summer that it's just kind of like, yeah, whatever. So we're hot. And yeah, let's get this over with and we'll be a high. I mean, when I put socks on today for the first time since it had happened, It was a little tender, but how you live and you learn. You know what's in my boat now? My three bottles of sunscreen. It's in there now, baby. I done, I done made that a difference.

I don't, I don't, major correction. I correct. I went fishing, no sunscreen. Then I took all the kids to my parents' house for the pool, and that's whenever I looked like a ghost. I said, no, we're not. Yeah. I need no more sun.

I got, yeah, I got three cans of liquid t-shirt in there now. What, that, SBF 75 or whatever it is. Yeah, uh-uh. Man, sunburn sucks because you like, you can't be comfortable. You're not even comfortable in your own skin. Can't sleep? No. And then you feel like you got a fever.

I'll tell you, one of the worst days of my life, I had sunburn on my back, and I put a scented lotion. Oh, no kind of lotion. Uh-oh. On my back. Yeah. No kind of lotion. It created a blanket. It felt like a million fire ants were stinking.

Oh, no. were stinging me over and over. People kept telling me, hey, put it out, no, I ain't put no little kind of cream on. I wish I had, I had no kind of cream on burnt sunburn. I wish I had a picture of Sighians from down there in the Bahamas. Oh, hey. Ooh.

Is that that trip, Si ended up staying inside for the next four days? No, me, I was with him. You were sick as a dog. I'll never go back to the Bahamas. Yeah, the Bahamas is a garhole. The only reason I went is it was free. That was garhole, too. And then it is a gar-off that off bucket list.

Never to do again. Yep, gar hole. Yeah. He just talked about P. Martin was there. Hey, well, hey. Mark, are you going back? I'd go back.

I enjoyed myself, but of course, I took care of myself. Now, Stone got a bad deal. He, stomach virus or something. I mean, he just caught a bad deal. He got a bohemian flu. Yeah, he got sick. You know, I mean, he was sick, and I was burnt to a crib. Now, my size was self-inflicted.

Well, hey, look, I had all that crap. up on you're supposed to have on and it didn't work. He put it on once. And he got on the boat. Yeah, and I had, it looked like I had white cream all on me. He fell asleep on a boat. Yeah, it's pretty long run to the fishing hole. So, sigh went to sleep, laying in the sun.

And boy, down there, you close to that son. Oh, yeah. Real close. No, I'll tell you this. And our boy ended up fried. I remember that vaguely. But I thought I was going to die. I was so.

sick. I've never been that sick of my life. It was middle of summer and we're in the Bahamas. And stone's inside like in a blanket. He ate something bad. Miserable. Friesing. Just shivering. And me, Gobb and Brittany and Paula's out there swimming

with pigs and like... Five days. In the bed. The only time I'll see anybody in the same shape is it was when we went down there and a guy that flew us went on the boat was and he got seasick and he was out there for three days. He was sick the whole time.

That was one, that trip was actually when I saw the biggest shark I've ever seen in my life. That was a, he came out there and got on our tuna that we were reeling in. And then all them spear chunkers that we were with, that's what they call themselves. They spear fishermen were wanting to get in the water with him. And when I tell you, homie was big. I mean big big what kind of shark was they called him a white tip the one that like cleaned up them

them plane crashes and stuff they think back in you know like I was like I went from the edge of the boat to the middle of the boat and we're in a 30 foot contender like he I mean ain't nothing he can do with us to us yeah and I was like nope I'm getting right in the middle of this boat

boy I've seen Jaws he was big took out a whole boat he was uncomfortably big I was like I don't call one of the nurse shark about eight foot long. Yeah, I'm saying nurse shark. You know she ain't gonna mess with you. About that big around.

You pet her. What got me about that was that the stupid thing was spotted black and brown. Polkidot, black and brown. And when it was down there flashing, it was flashing silver. And I'm saying, what in the world's going on? Where is the silver? Light and water, man. That's cool.

It's the craziest thing. I've asked everybody that's ever fish. Hey, I got a question for you. In the Gulf of Mexico, fishing, you get a fish on, and it don't make no difference what color he is. He's flashing silver. Where does the color silver come from? I said, I've seen it on Big Gruper.

He's a black and brown, the old dull-looking color. But not way down there. But not when he's down there moving out at ocean water. When he's popping that tail, it's silver. We need to line us up another trip, sir. I enjoy it. that redfish, that redfish that Josh took us on was epic. Yeah.

About what, 5,000 redfish weighing anywhere from 25 to 45? Well, now's a pretty good time. Now it's a pretty good time for it if you can stay in the heat. Problem right now, there ain't a wind blowing any time. It wasn't that day either. It was flat. It was glass. That's when it gets hot.

Oh, no. It was hot. It wasn't a ripple on the water. And I mean, just that, but you're talking pretty. He put that drone up in there. We had two boats. We caught 25. Yeah.

And it was just solid, it looked like blood all under the boats. Bright, bright, bright red. Yeah, bull red. It was about 5,000 of bull reds. And they just scared the death of you. Oh, no. Hey, they were looking up there at you, said, on over him. That was unreal.

That's why I like going down there. That's my favorite spot on there. off the coast of y'all if y'all do go back will you please bring some chickens back well we're going to have to go with them to get i know you got to go down and i'm not against catch a bunch of fish so you're all you won't there i'll sit in there and eat chicken them stuffed chickens are good well i get me a load on the way down and a load on the way back i'll call me a chicken eater but let's take another break we'll be back right after we went to that one island he said you know what's after this

I said, no, what? He said, Africa. I said, oh. Oh, ooh. We're on out here, huh? Okay, I got you. Yeah, that's cool. That was neat.

I enjoy adventures like that on the ocean. Oh, yeah. But I don't want to get in the ocean. There's nothing about me that wants to end up in the ocean. We were actually fishing on the beaches on the beaches of Mexico. It's where we was catching him. Redfish. That was Grand Isle.

Grand Isle, yeah. Yeah, in the Gulf of Mexico. Right off the beach. Yeah. I love Grand Isle, too. Oh, yeah. That's a special place in my own. Oh, yeah.

I love that place. You know, when I was in high school, me and my brothers would go every year, we in college, we'd wade fish out Grand Isle. Uh-huh. And have a stringer or a speckled trout tied to my waist. I wouldn't do that. No. See, you're like a walking chumby.

Yeah, I think so you're chumming in the water. Yeah. What you got, Biggie. It was big fun. Your eyes are wide. Speaking of how big the ocean is, this is a sad story that I'm about to tell. But I think it needs to be told. Okay.

Because there's some things you don't do. Oh. So this morning, the Coast Guard had to call off their search efforts because a kid took a dare to jump off of a cruise ship at night. Ooh. Ladies and gentlemen. Good grief. Stay on the boat. Yeah.

I'd probably open to murder him. No, there's video. Oh, okay, there you go. He took a dare. Oh, so he just took a dare, like Snapchat video or something. So here I go. Here I go. And his friends are all like, hey, whey!

And I guess they thought you could turn a cruise ship around in the middle of the night. Yeah, they'll come get you. You're in the ocean now. High high up was he? Like, way on up. It didn't look that high. Oh. But, yeah, they looked for them for five days.

But I mean, yeah, you get sucked up under that current of that ship. and you know that's bad deal it's a big ocean that's one of them things even if you think you're beside a boat you're not unbelievable in a second

unbelievable well I hope my kids don't do nothing like it so don't do that that's when you were saying it's a big ocean that's what I saw it this morning I was like oh my goodness I got no interest of ending up in the ocean like I love being on top of it

I just don't want to end up in it. No. Because you go from being on top of the food chain. To be coming a food chain. You're very smack somewhere in the middle of the food chain. You ain't even at the top anymore. No. No. You're

just above, I don't know what. You know, there's a famous group of spear fishermen down in South Louisiana. And you know the water clarity. Mm-hmm. It's not great. No. They dive those those oil rigs.

Yeah. No. So it's platforms. Mm-hmm. And shoot Wahoo and all kinds of stuff off of it. Can't see till you get a certain depth. Yeah. And there's all kinds of tiger sharks. Mm-hmm.

Very dangerous. And not to mention they're hooked up to a, to a lot of them free dive, but a lot of them use tanks. Or tank. The tank's in the boat, but there's a hose that goes down to them. Oh, okay. And that hose get tangled up in that, in that row. rigging.

Real easy. Yeah, you get a little current switch. Yeah. You ain't a bind. No thanks. All of a sudden, you're a chatterbake. Whoa. Yeah.

Some people just, they love to live dangerously. Push the envelope. Yeah. I've never understood them people that like sticking their hand in there and grabbing a catfish. Oh, no, no. Fishing has yet to get to the point. Have you ever done that?

Heck, no, I ain't. No. You've never gone in the water and they have things. No, my wife has. They have things that are called rot and root and reels and hooks and line. When that ceases to be fun, maybe, just maybe, I'll go grab on the one with my hands.

But I still like reeling them suckers in. Like, I enjoy that. I've done the go under, grab a catfish, let it bite your hand and pull them out. Oh, no. How big was he? It was a long time. It was big. Nope.

I wasn't real sure about what we were doing there. But there was like an old water heater they had sank. Oh, yeah. They all over Darbonne Lake. It's on Darbaugh. Oh, yeah. Just go under, put your hand in there. You'll feel something bite it and then just bring it with you.

Yeah, I've seen them all over side imaging. Hot water heaters, dagging machines. They got all kinds of things down there. They try to get catfish go in. And then go down there and grab one of them. I don't get it. Wait a bit. Repeat that?

What did you say? Stick my hand where? Yeah. He's going there. And if something bites it, do what? And pull him out. It was pretty fun I was kind of freaked out

But I did it Well my wife has done it But I'm not You're out I know heck no I told her I said do you take a hook down there When he bites you

He brought that hook in his mouth And I reel him on out of there I said I'll have just as much fun as you did I promise Yeah I promise I'd be the one sitting in the boat I'm like hey

You got him Yeah I'll tie the rope to him And then I'll pull him in for you Yeah I ain't getting in the water's ticking my hand in no dark hole. Why not? You've got lost your mind.

That's a good road to live by. Hey, what are you talking about? Yeah. I'm not unplugged my mic. Good rule to live by. Martin laughs so hard. He unplugged his mic. That's a good rule.

Anyway, be safe on the water. Don't do weird stuff. And don't take weird stuff. And don't take dare. Turn around, don't drown, use whatever kind of catchphrase you need. Wear your life jackets, all the things. That's terrible. Which I noticed using a kayak, you didn't have your life jacket on.

We just calling people out. I feel like I'm in trouble all this. I'm just saying he got kids at home, man. That's true. You need to wear your life jacket. I had a partner with me. I did just order a life jacket. There you go.

Before I go out in the big water by myself. You saw all the brush tops I put out there. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I know where they're at. I kind of knew where they were at anyway, but now I got imaging of them. Well, yeah. Stong going to be fishing with you now.

That's one of the crop of the trophies. Jason knows where they're out here in two weeks. I put all those tops because Jace likes to fish the bridge. The bridge is a good spot, but I found you've told me about the other one. We're not going to say where it is, people, just in case Jace listens. I don't think you're in danger of that. Speaking of them, did they? win that award?

I don't know. Yep. They did? Yep. That's cool. I'm ashamed. Good for them. Yeah.

Good. I think they got, Alex was there. Did they win? Did they win? Yes or no. Yeah. They did. Are we allowed to say that?

Well, I don't see why not. They did. All right. It doesn't air. The show, the, the, the, the reward. Oh, those aren't live. This airs after. Okay.

This airs after. Hey, they want. Oh, well, congratulations. I feel like we all just got in the aid. We better not say anything. Well, I didn't. I mean, I didn't know because everybody was posting online about going to K-level. I didn't realize it wasn't live.

That's on me. I wouldn't have asked had I known that that was a great. Okay, cool. So everybody will find out Friday. This air is Tuesday. Yeah, to follow them. Good for them. We got a chance now, y'all.

No. Hey, I'm happy for them. Oh, I'll tell you this. Al puts a lot of work into that podcast. Oh, yeah, he does. Yeah. So do we? They got outlines, notes.

What is that? Simon, I need you to start outlining this show for us. I feel like there's a joke about working three hours a week in there somewhere, but I'm not, I can't put my finger on it. Oh, it's rough. We do the same, everybody. All I know is I've heard them say a lot of times. Oh, we've got two podcasts a day, two tomorrow.

And Jason's always talking about, hey, look, I'm not going to be here. So we've got to do two today. there you go so hey there's a much more serious time I believe they have fun though yeah good for them I'm proud of them

they're the ones that paved the way for this one 100 they do a great job without theirs there would be no this one they put out a lot and when I say I mean a lot of good biblical stuff I did like it the day I saw Phil wearing Phil

that somebody posted a picture of Phil wearing himself on a t-shirt so I that was good I appreciated that. Yeah, that was good. Okay. I know Phil didn't like wake up and go through his closet and say, I'm going to put this all. It was just what was on top and it just so having to be a t-shirt of himself.

So, yeah. I think I have one t-shirt left with Willie's face on it and I still have the feel for president's shirt. I got Willie Wood. I got that one too. I still got side of Christmas elf or something like that. And size retirement t-shirt. I got that one. I got that one hidden away.

Yeah. I saved a few of them. from days gone by, just for... Most of them pertain to sigh, though. Yeah. That tells you where my allegiance is and all that. But even before this. They've done 690 episodes.

Oh, wow. We're catching them. And Phil thinks Alexa is an atheist. Oh. The latest one. The thing on your kitchen counter? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Just ask him about it. You'll be thoroughly entertained. I'm going to have to watch that. Yeah. He thinks, okay. So he thinks a robot is an atheist. Oh, yeah. I'd have been programmed by one.

Hard to say. Oh, he had a conversation with her. Yeah. Field him? Yeah. Oh, man, I'm going to have to. I'm not going to spill the beans. I'm going to let you all.

Yeah, go watch it. I'm assuming that's what that episode is about. I'm very. Okay, so that would be comical enough, but what if Godwin had a conversation with Alex? It wouldn't work. I don't think Alexa. Would Alexa understand Goblin?

Is this something we need to do? I think so. Gobwin versus Alexa. What color crappy magnet should I use? I mean, what would Gobwin ask Alexa? That's even more fun to think about are the things that he would ask her. I don't think he would ask her anything. I think he's against that.

Alexa, play Rush. Play Catman. Play Catmandu by Rush. Alexa, play Rush. I mean. That's it, yeah. That's what he would do. Yep.

So who's worse, Alexa or Siri? That's the question. Which one? Sirius is listening right now. Oh, wow. All right, let's take a break. We'll be back right after this. Here's what got Phil with the whole Alexa thing.

So Al or Lisa gets him the Alexa first. Seems like a normal gift to get Phil, right? They couldn't find him an alarm clock with the, he would feel one of them wind up alarm clocks. Well, they don't make him anymore. They couldn't find him one. So she decided, well, just do the opposite of that, get a. Yeah. Go all the way, whole, all.

If you go on, eat crap, take a full bite of it. So. Go to the opposite. So she gets him in the Alexa deal, and they set the alarm clock over. Well, he gets up next morning, and Alexa out of the blue says, what's side doing? That's the report I got. Alexa just says that? Yeah.

Phil gets out of the bed. And Alexa says, what's side doing? Well, that sounds like everybody at every meet and greet I've ever been to. Yeah. What's side doing? Where's side? So then Phil immediately calls Dan the Butler. You know, he's kind of tech savvy, you know.

So he runs down there and they interrogate this Alexa. And that's the funny story that I want. So these, oh, oh, yeah. This all comes from. That ought to be good. This all comes from Dan and Phil, interrogating Alexa. Both of them were interrogating Alexa. Well, that was like me in a phone, okay, that cussed me out.

Just a telephone? A telephone? Yes, sir. An iPhone? One of them stupid, one of them cell phones. Well, guess who's in there? Huh? Who's in there?

Alexis, I guess. Yeah. Alexis. That's her sister. Well, no, no. But hey, look, all I did, okay, this was when they was training me and the use of the phone they had bought me when I was out with my band. Well, we had been through the training, hit the home button that turns it on. Allside back on that iPhone 4. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Oh, look, I do that, and they had tried to make it idiot proof. Okay, so they said, hey, hit list.

Is that your phone, Johnny Day? It'll never be the same. So I'm a phone list, you know, and I would do that, you know, so I wanted to call Bridget. She was supposed to pick me up. I was out somewhere and landed, and I've, so I've done that, hit the on button, hit list, Bridgettator name, come up, I've tested her name. It's dialing, darling, darling, dialing. But this time, now, I didn't want to know dialing, dial, d'all, d'all, it was something,

an F you. Whoa! No, no, I'm serious, and I'm going, whoa. I've done what you said Whoa I said wait a minute I said this phone just Cush me out using the bad word The bad word

Yeah the Brad word You know not Did you ask the phone if he kissed your mama Oh no no no no All right I hit button off And I told him like no I ain't I ain't using the phone I said when I could touch something

That's supposed to tell me something And I call somebody and it gives me a cursing. You sure that wasn't somebody standing behind you? Your phone's buzzing. I know this. I've been cussed out on the phone

plenty of times, just not by the phone. No. Oh, no. Hey, I was by the phone. But unlike Si, I got offended, I think I just get along the phone. That's why I, hey,

nope. She bought me three of them. Three of them? Yeah, I don't know what she did with them. I don't use them. I don't use them. I don't use them. I don't care.

I don't mess it. I would have a great time if I could text message. Oh, no. It would be interesting. It would be fun. I said, hey, I said, why didn't y'all tell me that y'all's going to play poker the other night? And he said, I text you. And I said, Jayce, how long have you been with me, son?

I said, I don't do no text. I said, you got a phone. I said, you idiots don't use the phone for what it was made for. And neither do you. You hang up on everybody that calls you. y'all yeah do you you just go out to get in the 20th century son

if you want to get through to sigh you've got to be committed or just show up it's gonna take about 10 hangos it's one of them and you're here and you'll hear come in

a legend come on in you got to get in your rig and drive over that's right getting your rig and come on over if you want to run the phone gontlet it's at least 10 hangups in a row for is the eye thing

oh no I'm a robo killer you also kill your friends. No. Some people just call and ask you how you doing. I was lucky today. Hunter called and I didn't recognize the number. I said, now I'm in a good mood.

Let me answer. Hello. He looked at his phone and said, what would Perry Mason do? No, no. Hello. And he said, did Christine tell you? And I said, no, she did. Then I said, I'd ask her this morning when I got up.

I said, hey, if I got any podcast today or anything like that? She said, nope. Well, she didn't check. Her phone was on charge. Well, Hunter calls, and he said, hey, we had you schedule for 1.30. Didn't Christine tell you? And I said, nope. This is how you know size great, though.

We called him at about 120 because he wasn't here yet. And it's like, well, he's not coming. If he ain't 10 minutes early, he ain't showing up. No, there ain't a reason to wait any longer because he ain't, he ain't there, boys. No, he's 15 minutes early. And that's on time. But that's on time. That's the military thing, though.

Yeah. That's a good thing. I don't like nobody to rush me. I've got throughout too many officers' office when they try to rush me. Thrown out? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, son, that was a daily routine. I'd make somebody mad. Get out. Roger. Gone. Did you go in? In an argument mood, then I'd say, what's your problem? Did you go in there with that goal?

How quick can I get thrown out of him? No, not really. But that's always what happened. Somehow, it always got around, get out of my office. At least you were coachable. You got out of their office. Well, hey, look. I would have loved to hang out with you back in the day.

Oh, no. Oh, man. Oh, you wouldn't know. Because you'd have been in trouble. Every picture I've ever seen of him when he's in the military, everybody around him is cheesing. I'm talking about they are cheesing. Because, look, I kept them laughing.

Because I, but, hey, here's the thing. I will say this for all the officers that I served under. They had to be honest men. Otherwise, I would have done some time in the people. Okay, because insubordination don't even touch what I pulled on some of them. What were you doing? If I'm your right-hand man and I tell you something, and then you make me do it when I tell you it's going to get you,

it's going to come back on you? Well, hey, I'm not going to stand there and let you chew my rear end. I'm going to say, hey, me and you got into argument, you being the officer, locked my heel, call me his attention, and told me brief him. And I said, I briefed him, and I told you if you made me do that, you was going to get your butt chew. Well, hey, you ain't going to chew me. I told you.

I didn't tell you. I didn't tell you. And you made me do it anyway. Hey, and you did get your tail shoot. So, hey, suck it up. You just go out to take it. That's it. I don't care if you are a two-star.

Oh. How many stars were you? I didn't care. Hey, I was a sergeant. He ain't got a star. That's the reason I got away with it. All the stars I had, he saw. That's it.

Hey. Old Maverick over here. Oh, Maverick. I was, I was that because I went off the reservation. Oh, that's a resident. Oh, that's character on Masher. No, here's an example. Okay, you come to the sergeant in charge.

You put him in charge. Then you leave. You come back. He's done finished what you put him in charge of to finish. And then he's turned his troops loose. And he's out there by himself. So the officer comes back and says, where's all my people? I said, you put me in charge.

We finished what you had me to do. And I turned them loose. I gave him day off. but then he wants to fight about it and I said whoa whoa whoa whoa nope nope that ain't gonna work I said next time you come to this road this cross road okay if you're gonna come to me and put me in charge

then don't tell me how to run my people that ain't gonna happen you put me in charge I made decisions now I'll stand behind it can you be in charge here was this before or after no they stole all your stuff. In this day in time,

no. But was this before or after they stole all the parts from the truck and walked them? Oh, this was during and in between all of them. All this is going on. Makes sense. There you go. Hey, do it your own way.

We'll be back right after this. Let's get in that mail bag. That was a good little break. That was a much needed laugh. We had a good laughter in the break. They did not record and we'll all still have jobs because of it. All right. Anyway, Anyway, Michael from Nash.

Hello at duck callroom.com. Send in your emails. Stun, we had a great one the other day that Gobwin said you got to body slam people. It was fantastic. I don't know that I have one of that stature today, but I wish I did. But Michael emails in. This is a pretty decent one. From Nash County.

I don't know where that's at. I thought we were fixing Nashville. Nash County. All right. He has a question for Si and what would Si do in this situation? He got the worst letter in the mail yesterday. Okay. The worst letter?

I can't even imagine what this is going to be. Jury duty. Oh. He wants to try and get out of jury duty, and he's got some crazy ideas about a trench coat and the Second Amendment. I don't know that that'll work or get you sent to jail. It ain't going to work. Yeah.

I'd rather sit out jury duty than I had it county. So, I mean, not. Yeah. You don't want to go to jail to get out of jury duty. You won't get out of jury duty these days? Walk in with your Bible. Like, you don't have to do anything other than that. Well, hey, look, you need to go talk to them and let them talk to you,

and then you may convince them by what you say. Is it, is it, is it, I've never had jury duty. That's a selection process. Have you had jury duty? Oh, yeah. Did I just jinx myself? I don't know. I've only, I've only had it once.

You have a responsibility as a citizen? Yeah. Okay. To honor that. Okay. But if you have a reason. medical reason, because I have medical reasons. I got out of one.

Okay. Because there's two of you? Well, I know. Multiple personalities. I didn't know which way to vote. That's what way to get out of it. They were afraid of a hung jury. But look, hey, unless you got a medical condition that, you know,

though you're probably going to answer, sir. You've at least got to sit through the process. I mean, there's like. Generally, when I went, there were like a hundred of us in there, and they were only looking for 12. So, I mean, you're at a 10% chance, roughly, generally. Well, if you make it to the point you show up and they talk to you, they may kick you out.

Yeah. They asked you a few questions, and if you don't ask them to their liking. Oh, yeah. Yeah, then you're not qualified. If you're honest, they won't pick you. Well, no, no. Well, no, because that happened before. Okay.

I didn't use the medical issue because I didn't have it. You know, they asked me some questions. You know, can you, you know, convict this? Could you convict this man? And I said, well, I might. I said, but if the lawyers prove a reasonable doubt, I said, nope, not going to convict him. Yeah.

Well, I got selected not too long ago. They asked me a simple question. The lawyer did. He said, would you be more apt to believe my client or a police officer? And I just smiled and I said, are you serious? A police officer. That was a real question. That was 10 out of, yeah.

This guy's been convicted of multiple crimes over his life. My question. I'm going with the police. The question I got asked and then was dismissed not long after was, are you or against capital punishment. And I said, well, if the crime calls for it, I'm for it. That's right. If it doesn't, I'm against it.

I'm like you. I'm like you. I said, hey, look, if you do the crime, you've got to do the time, baby. And then they just looked at them. I think they were wanting me to be strongly against. So I don't really know, but I... Boy, that was a heavy case. You were on, Martin.

Yeah, apparently it had something to do with somebody taking another one's life or something, but it was, uh, yeah, it was wild. But I was like, man, if that's what to find people are, of America voted on a suitable punishment for this thing, then yeah, I'm for it. I mean, I'm going with the rest of us. We are a free country. We have a democracy. We vote on things. And if that's what it is, that's what it is. So, you know, like, I'm not wanting to buck the system. Let's roll, man. Then, let her, I know, they're like, Sarah, you can go home. So I got my $7 and, you know, never see another poor day. I think the reason everybody's scared of jury duty isn't

necessarily the jury duty part it's because it's a government run establishment and you're sitting there all day because they can't run anything right yeah it's a waste of time for the most part because you do you go in that room and you sit there and they wheel in a little tv or something but you can't talk to anybody you can't like not that i read the news but you there's like you you get all these stipulations of what you told as free people you can and can't do and you're like no man on the one that I served on, I'll have to say this. Okay. If you report to do jury duty,

they ought to have a parking spot for you because, hey, when I went there, I parked and it cost me $270.70. He got a ticket. Yeah. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. That's on you, bro. I get stuck, $270.70.

But you got $25 a day? Yeah. Yeah, I'm on that field all the way. That they send you a W-9 for it to end. Oh, hey, I will say this to the people that run our cities. Hey, if you have one of us citizens come to do his patriotic duty and serve on it. Give him a parking spot. Give them a parking place for that on.

Hey, you parked here and there, well, I didn't, wasn't no sign. and they stuck me 270 bucks. That's an expensive parking. It is. Where did you park? It was down here in my road. If I was on the jury for that ticket, I would say you're not guilty. I think that fall in a category of civil.

Hey, that's another thing. Don't fight it. Unless you got absolute proof. Okay, because otherwise it's going to be that plus court costs. That's another $500. You've spent a lot of time in civil court. I watch a lot of TV, son. Yeah, he's just going off at Judge Judy bag.

No, I'd rather watch Judge Steve Harvey. It's way better. He said, no, I just watch a lot of TV, son. I didn't know Steve Harvey was a judge. We live in a great country when Steve Harvey can be the judge over your case and it matters. And he's exactly. God bless America. It's common sense driven.

Well, yeah, because it's Steve Harvey's a smart guy. Hey, oh, no, he is. He's your buddy. Oh, he is. He was on, me and him was on Foxy and Friends. I know. And it was a riot. Wasn't it?

Oh, I bet. Jimmy Fallon? Which one were you on with Steve Harvey? I think it was a fox and friend. There may have been on a night show. I don't know. I think it was on both. Y'all were just doing the round.

Jimmy Fallon, yeah. I got to watch that. Oh, no. Oh, it was. Here you go. It was hilarious. Look. The best part.

Look, look, just like you said earlier. Oh, man. Come on the assing. He's smiling. Here's the best part on it. Phil told him and said, hey, dumb it. Steve, man, you need to come go ducking with us. Steve Harvey, y'all, he's quick.

Steve Hardy said, let me get this right. He said, how many of it is? y'all and he said we said seven and he said and that's all seven of them got shotguns he said let's see seven white guys with seven shotgun and and one black man is going to go out in the woods with you seven men he said ah ah oh we live hey no but I got I ain't got a I got a right. He's cool as he can be. Oh, he's funny.

He is. He's cool as he'd be, too. I wish we could come out somehow slick him and you end up the defendant on one of his court cases. That would be fantastic. Oh, no, I would love to do it. I'll still say right now. I'll still love to stress.

Look, he's got some good stuff. He does. He is funny. He is. He's a funny man. Well, Jody D. That one took up surprisingly more time than I thought it was. jury duty, man.

Into Steve Harvey. All right, well, I'll send us out of here. Look, we didn't, but it was a crazy couple recordings. We didn't take time to talk about Memorial Day until today. And we all talked about the fun we had, fishing, sire watching grit and all that

good stuff, and that is all great. But the reason we have that is because there are men and women who gave their life to fight for a country where you're free to do pretty much whatever you want to do. And before that, they was a citizen. that put everything aside in their life

to do what he just said they'd done. This was just ordinary citizens that gave up their freedom. Yep. Okay. To fight and die for our freedom. That's why they deserve the utmost respect. Yep, because they did what Jesus called the greatest of that love you can give.

John 15, 13, greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends. So to all those out there currently serving or have family serving, we thank you. And to anyone who's had a family member, uh, that gave their life in the line of duty, we thank you because that's the reason we can sit in a room, talk about fishing, talk about hunting, talk about eating, and live the lives we live. Because people that gave that place. We can live this great life we've got.

Amen. So from the duck call room, we thank you. and we will see y'all next time. We're out.
