You know the one. Our competition. I got a connife. Huh? He's got a connife. Look out. Our podcast competition? Oh.

What podcast competition? No, I don't know that one. Yeah, we're getting ripped off, boys. We are? Uh-huh. By who? Apparently Joe Rogan doesn't have a big enough podcast, so he had to steal our topic. About what?

He's claiming he saw a Black Panther in his backyard. That tells me two things. A, they're real, and B, duck call room's on to something. boys. Just because Joe Rogan saw it. It makes you. I'm just saying, man. Who's Joe Rogan?

He has a very small podcast. It's nothing like ours. And all of our fans are like, hey, Joe Rogan's talking about Black Panthers. And so I went and watched it and then I had to cling my ears out with soaps. Joe, language, sir. He'll take his bow out and shoot you. He'll take his bow out and shoot you.

But look, here's the problem. Why didn't he do it to that black cat? He's kind of it was a 70. pound black panther. No. He saw it in his backyard. He also has it on security footage. No. Let's see the footage.

No. Show the footage. It ain't available. Wait, do you not believe he saw it? No, he didn't do. Wait, inside. In Austin, I think. In Austin, Texas. Austin, Texas.

No, he has trees. Well, and I was going to play the video. It ain't have trees down enough for half a few. Where's the video? Panther. They show the security camera footage. No, not the security camera footage. Well, I don't care about the rest of it. I watched the video.

Hey, that was a 75 pound pound coon he saw. Now, that I bleak. Hey, okay. You think he saw a 75-pound raccoon? Somebody get Jeff on the phone. Who's Jeff? Jeff. Yeah.

Our former employee that lives in Austin. Part of the family? Yeah. Take it easy, pal. Anyway. That you've been mistaken for several times by our visually impaired fan. He is not my cousin, first off. I'm only related to Willie.

And second off. I'm not Jeff. He's only ready to Willie. But look, here's the sad part about this whole deal. I say sad. It ain't sad. Black Panthers or Joe Rogan? I don't care about Joe.

Or Jeff. I mean, good. We're going on to Black Panthers. Here's the problem. I'm just mad that the number one podcast in the world's ripping us off. Clearly, Black Panthers is a hit topic. Slow day in the news, you know. That is what it is.

But the issue is, if the government has their way, the chances of a black panther are coming sooner than we think to the United States of America. Oh, because I read an article yesterday. Uh-oh. That's the proposal of releasing 150 Jaguars back into the wild in Arizona and New Mexico. Now, them Jaguars turn black.

Oh, they are big, too, a big cat. And your boy, if you go there and say you saw one if they turned these things loose, I'm all of a sudden in with you. I'm like, yeah, you probably did. Well, no, no. Look, they've done been saying that the scientist says that everything in the southern hemisphere, that would be like the Amazon and all that, they're all heading north. They're all heading out of there.

They're heading north. It is hot here. Guess what? Louisiana is north from Amazon. This is their historic. That is part of their historic. historical range and then we as humans run them out of here.

Killed them all, run them out of here for the sake of cattle and... Yep, I believe. So what's going to come back because that comes back? Huh? I mean, what's the... Their argument...

Real Tree posted the article. Yeah. I'm reading it right now. Hey, not only that. He's brought up, the big point he brought it was the government is doing it. Okay. How do you feel about the government?

How do you feel about the government? The government needs to leave us alone. Okay. But anyway, here's something like the government is bringing something back. Well, hey, just think about, hey, what haven't they been telling us about?

What they've already brought back? Well, my problem with all of this is where are you going to get those 150 cats? Like, are you going to go to a rescue and get them? So they're not wild. They've been dependent on humans for food for however long. so that doesn't start off well and they're like oh well it's very loosely populated

my cat's got a good sniffer on him he's gonna find the humans around there that's been that's been responsible for his food his whole adult life and that's where he gonna stay so where are you gonna get them or you gonna go into their range where they are and just take out 150 from there

which that's not good for the cat either so where do they come from it's like a chicken and the egg kind of deal like I'm all for keeping wildlife alive. I am. I give as much money to conservation as I pour into hunting every year. My deal is, is at what point are we doing these animals a disservice

by turning them back? I want them to go wild. That'll be fantastic. But how do they get back to being wild is the question? That's a good question. Because, hey, we've domesticated the Canadian hunker. Yeah, Canada goose. There we go.

Yeah. Okay. I can tell that one didn't hit your humbox. We don't see them down here anyway. And since we have, it's become a nuisance. Yeah, they just tear up golf courses. They tear up golf courses and they crap on your patio. And look, and in the northern cities, they're eating the gravel off of industrial buildings.

Okay, which causes it, yeah, to leak. Yeah, causing roofloos. They're pain in the butt what they become because we domesticated them. Yeah. We made life too easy for it. Hey, that's why the hunters are so important. We keep stuff wild. Yeah.

Because if I'm chasing you through the woods, oh, you're going to stay wild. You wild. Yeah. Because I'm wild and I'm wild after you. Okay. Please don't hunt me. There's a movie about that. Hey, look, hey, it's a good thing they ain't got guns.

Because the human race would go extinct pretty quick. Well, see, but the New Mexican cattle growers association. The association is mad. Yeah, they're out on it. Because they already deal. There's Mexican wolves or New Mexican wolves. Are they New Mexican? No, it's the Mexican wolf.

The Chibabaver? It's the Mexican wolf? Yeah. Or the new wolf? No, he's a Mexican. It's very confusing. But they're worried about... Because apparently, if a Mexican wolf eats some of your cows,

you get reimbursed, but it ain't enough anyway. And now they're worried about these Jaguars. Yeah. Can a jaguar take down a cow? Oh, buddy. Oh, what are you talking about? Canny? I just, because Jaguar's, I thought they got like little antelabes.

Why do you drug them into trees and they were? When they were selling the West, they always shot the mountain lions. Yeah. Hey, because they didn't want to get eaten. Well, no, because they was tacking their sheep and their cows. Wasn't that an old yeller? What a mountain lion? Uh-huh.

Yeah. And that dog said, no, no, son. Well, that's the thing. That was awesome. Now, the good thing about when you reintroduce a cat, he's better than reintroduce a cat. he's better than reintroducing a dog because a cat only kills what he can eat a cat doesn't

for the most part I disagree with that in general I would fix that you don't remember my story about picking I know okay they will they will kill for just

for sport but dogs are way worse that that happened dogs are way worse at killing for sport that's why the bingos what is that the name of them? Dingo in Australia is such bad.

G3. He's bad news, boys. Dingo. But that is. I mean, I just, I don't know, man. It's, you have to walk a fine line of, of reintroduction and humans. And, because I can't tell you, it's just like around here when they reintroduce that bear. Oh.

Now look. When somebody finally got tired of him, they just capped him. I mean, that's all it was to it. And they were like, you know, I'm tired. You ain't going to come to you? care of him, I will. Which is what you're going to fight in this battle, too, is like, look, we were fine without them.

Especially because of the rednecks. Boys, don't ever doubt it. They're everywhere. Yeah. So, you know, once they raid, my garbage can and start throwing garbage all over the place and I had to clean it up. Oh, yeah, he's a figure popped. It's only a matter of time.

Yeah, it's only a matter of time. His days are numbered. Yeah. Trust me. Yeah, it's a weird deal that we have to balance. I mean, we are responsible for sending them out of here. So to a degree, we should be responsible for getting them back. I just don't know how you bring back a cat that's been gone and keep him wild.

Because if you do, you're going to remove him from where he is now, which he's also a key part of that ecosystem. So it's kind of a, it's how do you do it? It's a chicken and an egg kind of deal. What's the benefit of reintroducing? Well, it gives them back into their native range. It does a lot of things for them. range now over yonder

I'm just saying their historical range but what it will do is it'll keep your other top level predators in check so coyotes there were all of a sudden they'll drop the number of coyotes are dropped because now they have competition and

that cat ain't scared to go kill him a coyote either got to get on that competition yeah so you know all your bobcats everything will be once you put an apex predator into a system which is what a jaguar is everything else will adjust to him like you know and he'll eat elk he'll eat he'll try to eat wild stuff but i can just tell you right now when he walks by that first fence and there's a big old black cow in there and if he's

hungry he's gonna eat it yeah that cow is as good as dead dinner hey hey the general bell is wrong yeah and at that point the rancher loses however much money he's got invested in said cows well when you think about it i don't know what type they are but when we was pig hunting in texas they had a cow and when they started shooting the pig, because I didn't start shooting them. He handed me the guns that they're right out in front. And I put the scope up and it's got night vision and I said, cow, cow, cow, cow, cow.

I done it five times and then I handed them a gun and said, y'all go for it and have a good time. I don't want to mess up here. I'm not going to shoot a cow. Then, hey. I can only eat so much. Hey, they started shooting a stampede. I was scared for my life.

because I thought it was a bobwire fence at the front. No, it's a steel fence. Okay, so I'd have felt a lot better if I knew that. Yeah. But anyway, they went out there the next morning to check for wounded pigs. Well, no wounded pigs, but there was two dead cows. And, hey, to the tune of if they had been shot, you would have paid five grand for each one of them.

They died in a stampede. Oh, yeah. They died in a stampede. I got in a stampede. Okay. That's crazy. Hey, old yellow guy got by a wolf, not a panther. Oh, yeah.

It was a bear and then a wolf. Oh, I thought he fought off a cat there in the middle of it. Maybe. I need to watch old yellow. I thought he had to run in with a cat about halfway through it. Maybe. But he was fine. I can't find that.

The wolf's what got him. The night of the grisly. But anyway. Anyhow. Well, look. Where did we go here? I'll tell you where we go. We go to break.

We'll be back right after this. That's right. All right. All right. All right. Look, it's warming up. You know what that means? and y'all know we love to eat beef around here and that's what because of our friends over at try

tells beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall 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 come to them but with tritels beef we skip 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 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 Triedales beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn'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. It's a bizarre deal. It's kind of, when you start doing that, you're almost, and look, I understand that the the way you weeded them out you were also doing this, but it's almost like the point where humans want to play God. Like, well, we did this, we need to do this.

Every time that happens, generally speaking. They usually screw up. Because you know why? Because we ain't him. Well, no, no. That was a direct quote. You just directly quoted Jurassic World.

That's all I'm going to say. Well, no, no, because here's the deal I'm talking about it. And this was just a thing. They stocked salmon. Okay. up in Salman? Yeah.

In Alaska somewhere, but what they didn't do was, okay, if you're going to put something and stock it, you need to look it and see if they can get back to it. So they fed the bright idea, oh yeah, we're going to stock them here and they turn them loose. Well,

when they went to the ocean and then they come back to the spot that they was started from, it ain't no way they can get up there. They could go down, but they couldn't go back up. Go down, but they never can get back up. Okay. Hey, dumb move, human being.

Yeah. Check the route out, okay, to see if they can make it back. Interesting things happen when man tries to play God. Common sense. I'll say that. Interesting things happen. Because thousands of phone thousands of someone died. And didn't even get smoked on a cedar trunk.

Yeah. And didn't even get caught. And a bear didn't grab it. That's the coolest thing. No, right. Let me tell you, wherever they hit the roadblock, then bears have a lot. Bears are not,

that's like the song, Convoy. Hey, that's like the song convoy. When the sound were running, hey, the Bears Convoy, that's a great tune, by the way.

C.W. McCall, Convoy. If you haven't listened to it, I've never heard of this in my life. We've crashed the gate in high. During 8, saying, let them truckers roar.

10, 4. 10, You've never heard There's bears ever Where in the air, boy Oh, it's fantastic I have no idea it was on it.

It's on my iTunes. You just own the song? I bought that one. That's weird. That's one of them. Look at that. That's one of them that comes on. You turn it wide open.

Oh, it's good. Because we're fixing the what? We're going to have a convoy. Because we got a little convoy rocking through the night. You've never heard that. Don't you bag it off a little bit. Them hog.

Man. Yeah. Yeah. All right, pick, PIN. This here's a rubber duck. Jay-D's brought the bears up on the salmon. Sorry, I'm like the Bears. The Bears, boys.

There's bears everywhere. No, them bears. Them bears found that pinch point where them salmon was. This might have been the pinch point. Had them a golden corral, son. He's thinking a golden corral. He's out. He's gone.

I think it's back. Not ours. Not ours. I could go for a salmon bake. Could you? No. I'm just confused while all. I'm confused that both of y'all take the time to pronounce the L, which I can appreciate.

But, you know, most of the time it's just salmon. I like Salmon. Salmon. I got to look up. Salmon. Salmon. How do you pronounce it? I think either way's fine.

It's just kind of weird when you hear the L. I'll take it out of fire, please. We almost got a weird commercial instead of the correct pronunciation. of salmon from the YouTube salmon salmon salmon salmon that's lower Alaska so it is salmon

the L is silent yeah no L salmon kind of like Knaf yeah Knaff and Gannat Gannat

yep it's salmon P-n-M-O-N there's a bunch of them yeah why are there silent letters should we talk about why is that a thing Like, why is, it's just an extra motion when you have to write?

Then you get into the mind of an English teacher. Uh-oh. I'm just saying, John has an H in it. That's biblical. Yeah. It's what now? John has an H in it. John has an H in it.

It's not Jahan. John. Well, it would be John. Oh, Jahan. No, because the Bible it has an H. So all you J-O-Ns, quit being so lazy. Careful. You're John.

You're a. H. biblical. I just do. I wonder why. That's true. Me and Godwin have the same name. John David.

John David Godwin. John David Owen. I just hyphenated it. Just go by the full thing. Silent letters. What do they mean? Worcestershire sauce. They don't mean nothing.

They're silent. It's a good point. And they don't say nothing. Why is a good point? Hey. One of life's men. It's kind of like, speaking of like that dog, we got

Roger he never barks so Paula calls him Roger Cal's silent partner Roger Cal's silent partner Roger Cal's silent partner Who's cow? Cal's a ratterian The ratterian he is not silent

No very much not silent You got that's all the dogs You have though right? Yep Roger Well that and the rest of the neighborhood Yeah the rest of the neighborhood They end up at the house at one point or another Generally about feeding time

It's when Willie's dog show up to my parents' house. I'm hungry. Let me in. Whenever we start cooking all of Willie's animals and just, sometimes his kids even just I must say, you better be careful. He got enough son-in-laws now. Y'all going to have to up your grocery bill. They start showing up.

The fence keeps the children out. Oh, speaking of, I have great issue with an episode of the duck call room I recently wasn't a part of. when Willie was on and talked about how I was in line the whole time. Oh, at the wedding? Yeah. Oh, you're on good behavior? And hey, and that drippings of gravy and everything on your belly. On your belly.

100% false. I went in the line once. It's not my fault the line was slow. I blamed the host for that. And I told him, hey, he didn't have it on his own. I said, he didn't have that gravy on his shirt long. That's because he took a knife and scrapped it up and then. I was there long

I was just it I went back for seconds and that's it it was just a long wine well you was in the line well he made it out like I was just eating all his food well you knew you was you went back in a second

you went back for seconds but you got thirds on the way home to be fair no I didn't oh I thought you said you found a huge plate of pasta oh no no I was going to they said you went in free times No, I went in twice. I got some other people food.

They said you went three times. You got something on the way out. My favorite part of a Robertson wedding is people think that I'm doing something for Willie or Corey when I'm there when I'm really just, you know, there for the party. So I will cut in front of the line and act like it's for Willie or something. You got that fast pass at Disney. Oh, yeah. At the Willie and Corey parties, I do have a fast pass.

I didn't keep an eye on the line, but I did see Big Christian. up there several I noticed him in that area several times he was sneaking around one time he was like oh sneaking around hmm I just said the line's got along I said Christian watch this I said hold I he's got something to do how they looked at me and they were looking at him it's like get it get him on the air I was like that's how you just cause confusion Christian I did you to go to my car to get this right here and I say I was talented enough I towed three plates back with me after the first one so I was good you needed more than one plate.

Yeah. Why do weddings, that's another question. Why do weddings have tiny plates? Because they pay in that bill. Have you ever been to a wedding with a regulation plate? Oh, yeah. I've been to some of them swanky ones that's inside a building with air conditioning and that you go sit down and you had to choose steak or chicken and they bring you a regulation

meal. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I've never been to a wedding where you had to choose your meal. Oh, yeah. It's always been buffet style. But they always got tiny plates. That's just to keep you honest.

I'm not an honest person when it comes to buffets. I mean, some people, now their wedding is different. Like, they could have had platters because I know how much food Willie bought.

I mean, there was one thing I was certain of at that wedding. They weren't running out. We weren't running out of food. That was not going to be an issue. So they could have, but most people are on a budget

so they're like, here, you can get you a little slice of this. Well, I was excited. But we're trying to feed everybody. It's the same deal like his birthday party. But with the Robbersons

and the cooking, oh, you better have a bunch, Because, hey, because Christian will be there. Well, no, no. I'm just saying, and me. The food, the food is so good that, hey, everybody, yeah. Yeah.

No, it was. It was legit. I'm fat, Ms. Kay. Small plates, silent letters. Come back up from the table. Things that just don't make sense in this world. Small plates. That's worse than a silent letter.

Unless you're in the spelling bee. We still need to get one of those kids on. That's actually an insult. You come to eat and then they give you just a little saucer. I agree. It really is. That's an insult. I agree.

Thank you. Hey, go ahead and put me a platter. But can I tell you how many times I've tested the tensile strength of them little plates? They'll hold more than you think. It's just small and stature. You can go high with it. I'll think, say, the average man or woman hadn't learned that you can pile them suckers up. Speaking of.

You can make layers. Yeah, you just keep going. But it's all about the base. You have to build a. solid base. You got the foundation that's got to be good. I got to do a commercial right now. All right.

Just for the, out of the goodness of my heart, just because of what we're talking about. Because Johnny's pizza buffet is back, baby. Your boy going to hit that. Yeah, we go in. Yeah, we're going to hit that. You know,

I'll say this. Because talking about power. We're about to take a break. But here's where the thing I've missed. The thing I've missed the most about Johnny's buffet and you're going to think I'm full of it. It's the salad bar. There's very few places you can get a good salad bar anymore and at our local pizza

chain lunch buffet has one of the best salad bar. And then you feel. Johnny's Pizza house. Yes, it's fantastic. Johnny's on Warren. Okay. Yes. And you feel good about yourself and then you can just go slam.

I'm a whole pepperoni pizza. I'm a salad freak. They got pickled ochre. Yeah. Okay. That's for you. Black olives. Banana pepper.

Pretty much everything they put on a pizza. They put it over there next to a thing of lettuce. They got them little square chunks of ham. A bald egg? Your boy likes ham. Ham sandwiches. He says, yep. Them little cubes.

We're going to take a break with them. I'm just going to leave it with this. Them little cubes of ham have always weirded me out. All right. I know. Let's take a break. All right. We got it right into this thing, so I missed some of the housekeeping stuff.

But let's clean it up real quick. Look, if you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, don't forget to check out the live Unashamed with Phil and Jace Robertson podcast event on Wednesday, June the 23rd. What? Yeah, Wednesday, that's... They're going live?

No, no. I would just think... Should we go? That would be a scratch it. I got somebody walking the house saying, Is it not? Hey, is it already the 23rd of June? Get your peanuts here.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the 23rd of June. I like the peanuts. But we could, I mean, we could liven it up a little if they start talking serious. Yeah. We could, you know. What do you all think about the duck call room? Black Panthers for life.

Nah, that would be serious. That is a good show, though. That would be funny if Si showed up, though. He'd draw all the attention away from him. Oh, that's time to tell. What I would love to do, I would love to show up. Hey, pet black pants are with it. Walking around with him on the ledge.

Cy exotic, baby. Tell me, hey, what was this? You said what? Check that cat out. I wonder if Siri would answer the question if there's a black panther. We've tried. There's a lot of debate. Yeah, a lot of debate.

But, hey, you know what? We haven't talked about. What did he just say? I missed it. You got to let him tell you. I hate stealing his thunder. Say it again? I say, you butt again, you butt your brain's out.

That's why you got to love gobbling, son. Ham sandwich! What were we going to talk about? We're going to talk about this past weekend. This past weekend was Father's Day. Happy Father's Day, Martin. Too, huh? I don't know.

He's got two blonde kids. My dog got me something nice. He got him something nice. He brought him up. She let me sleep in. She let me sleep in. She didn't even wake me up with that dummy in my face, say, throw that for me.

Left him a surprise. That's funny. Oh, man. Father's Day. What did you do Father's Day? Sir? Do what I do, sleep. Okay.

So you'll be proud of me. I saw like a meme thing. What are those called memes? Like a picture and it was a bunch of women pushing strollers and it said if she can push a stroller, she can push a mower, take the weekend off. And I took the picture of it. I've seen that.

I screen shot it. And it says take the weekend off king. Yeah, yeah. You're looking for trouble. Yeah. And so I put Linda Allison and I put my thumb over that little arrow and I said, I don't think she's going to think this is funny as I do. and I deleted it.

Yeah, put that one back on the holster. Yeah, put him back in the holster. That's like using the word training. No, you don't want to go that route. Yeah, Paula likes mowing grass. Paula liked Brittany. I'm a lot of a lawnmower for a birthday one time. That's what Brittany got this year for hers.

She was fired up. Mm-hmm. A riding one. A riding. I got a push mower on Father's day. Yeah. Now we're talking. She mowed about two times a week.

Two times a week. And half a goblin's yard ain't got grass. I was sick to say. My next day neighbor loves to mow. Tina. Ford. Yeah.

Tina? Tina? Tina. I gave me a little shout out. That's awesome. Did she know your yard? Hey, like you tell me, a lot of it ain't got grass. Dust's going that way, but she's not there.

Why doesn't she? You should tell her to mow your yard. No. Who mows your yard? A guy that gets paid very well for it. Who shall remain nameless? I don't even want to give his yard guy. love. He gave his

neighbors some love, but not his yard guy. Hey, I like cutting grass. He don't even pay her. I like cutting grass, but Allison ain't going to do it. Oh, I love cutting grass. That's fun. I don't. I've turned in, speaking, I've turned into my father. I used to always look at me like, how heck is he

mow every day? I act like he enjoys it. Yeah, and actually enjoy it. And now that he's no longer with this, I find myself, when I ain't got nothing to do, I say, you know, I could go mow. I go go get on a mower. And I take out, you know what? And I look, I stop and think, I'm like, I think I'm smiling right now. And I'm like, what has happened to me?

What is happening to me? What is happening to me? Where you mow, make sure that blade's good. Because if it ain't, it's got to be, it's got to be like a golf pool. I changed them lawnmore blades for last, man. I got to sharpen another set. I put a brand new set of it. It's nice, because now you can cut them lines in you.

Oh, yeah. See, I've tell you. Like a baseball. I don't full-blown. I skip fatherhood and went to grandfatherhood is what happened to me. Yeah, look at you there Friday. Hey, I love it. You don't make the square.

Oh, I like it for all of it. My yard or duck hunting. Either one I'm full-blown in on.

The best groomed. You just remind me. I got another person I got to have to play a trumpet. Uh-oh. Mark Brewster. Okay. So you got, you got to bring your trumpet, sir. To the podcast.

No, I ain't even pulled it out. I'm telling me. I'm telling me a real one. Gala just keeps thinking. Yeah. If I ignore it, it'll go away. No, it ain't going away. It's just like that squeak in the front end of your truck.

If I ignore it, it'll go. go away. Trust me. It ain't going away. I want to hear you play it. What do you want to hear me play? Well, I tap. Amazing Grace.

No, I can play that easy. When the Saints go marching in. He played that too. I play that on the ship. I've heard him play that one. I like that, so I get a little. Where was I after when you did this? I was on that stupid ship.

Yeah. Yeah, we couldn't go anywhere. I know. I was there and I didn't hear it. I was there. I remember. You most. been. Well, I must have not been all there.

Well, you must have had. As usual. I think you was doing something with the kids. Yeah. May have been story time. Was side? Like the kids' wing of the boat? No. No. But at night, he read them like a bedtime store. He read them a bedtime store. Because they go to bed at the same time, like 745. So side and the kids were all in there like snuggled in together.

What kind of cruise ship is that? It was the carnival. It was a wild one. Let me tell you what that cruise ship did. It paid well. Oh, yeah. It was a great paycheck. That's what we should do. The setup was horrible. I ain't doing that again.

Yeah. The setup was horrible, especially one man with a breeding product. That was the first. You had to go from this end of the ship to the other end of the ship. And just when you get comfortable down there, they said, okay, now the next event is back where you was. So all we did was a boat. It's like a basketball game. Everything happened on one.

and then goes down happens on nothing. He said a boat. Yeah. This is a big boat. Yeah. And you start walking it and going up, you know. I don't think I'd ever go on a cruise again. It was.

Oh, I won't. Oh, I won't. Trust me. It was funny. Remember how much the waves was rocking that big boat? I was like. Oh, good. When we had to do that show that night,

which is on the very front of the boat, it's on the bow. You can feel the waves? Could you feel about to take me on my feet? on that stage. I'm thinking if these waves is rocking this thing. Yeah. You wouldn't want to be out here and no skater.

There, no. They ain't no two or three footers. Yeah. Old C. Art would be struggling. No, no. Daddy was in the Navy. My father was in the Navy. Father's Day. No, no, look. They was... We're back. We bet it back. Yeah. No, no. Look.

And they was in a... I think it was a destroyer. Okay. And the radar was screwed up. So a guy had to go up, okay. Yeah. Put some bad, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And the waves, okay, the ocean was bad, bad weather.

She was angry. She was angry for him. Angry wasn't a word for it. But look, this guy's up there, like, I don't know how high, okay. But look, the waves are doing this. Good, Gary. Hey, he's up there fixing this thing and when it goes all over, he's putting his hand on the water

slapping the water Wait, from the top of the ship? From the top of the ship, look, go the other way same thing, popping the water with his hand. They got pictures of that. And I was telling Daddy, I said, I said, and I might near join the Navy. I said, I must have been out of my mind

or drunk or something. If the waves get that big, no. I don't like boats. I like, I've been up there. There's nowhere to go. Son, you're out there.

Oh, yeah. I've been on a couple cruises in my life. It didn't even look real. Oh, I believe it. Okay, but hey, it was a video.

Okay, so this is live, and you're watching this guy, every time he goes from one side of the other, he's slapping the waves as he goes down. And look, and the boat's like this. Yeah.

Yeah. I said, why didn't it turn over? it looked like it were turned over. I mean, the thing is literally, you know, down. They had all the hatches clothes. Well, they got it where he's down. They batten down the hatches.

Oh, no, batten down the hatches. No, batting me down. Send me back home. Yeah. Put me in a pine box, son. I'm gone. Yeah. Let me out of here. Yeah, let me out of here.

I just said, whoa. Did you, you almost joined the Navy? Yeah. In the Navy. Hey, I had all kind of harrowing events. Okay, when I finally went to the military. I actually tried. tried, mightnere join the Navy, and then one night I did get polluted, me and a buddy,

and we started to join the Marines the next morning, except one thing happened. I sobered up for a full morning time. I sobered up before my buddy. Oh, yeah. And my buddy, my buddy didn't. He went and joined. And to this day, he's mad about that. Oh, Lord.

And I said, hey, you shouldn't let me sober up, son? Sorry. I come to my senses as the Bible puts it. Oh, boy. Well, let's take another. break we'll be back okay I will if you will so what did you do

Johnny Gow? I went to Ohio father oh you went to Ohio and what did you do in Ohio I watched them catch catfish off the bank oh bigwoods Lake Erie Lake Erie Did you catch any? That's a great lake No

I didn't try What was you in Ohio for Catfish tournament Oh catfish type of meat and greed up there In Cleveland That's where I flew into. Cleveland. Is there catfish in the Great Lakes?

It is. Well, they're great. They're great. You can't be great and not have catfish. I didn't know Canada had catfish. Oh, yeah. Catfish lived in a mud hole. You give him enough time.

So as long as anybody's water has been in there, he in there. He in there, boy. No doubt. But look, since, you know, I can't really help on this regard. Uh-oh. You don't sprung to leak. Look at that. Are you leaking coffee?

They're sprung to leak. You lock the whole thing. I know. It's spore. That's not, that's what you call French drip. French drip? Yeah. You just hold the bottom of the cup over your mouth.

Yeah. French people are weird. Yeah. Especially when it comes to coffee. Well, you got a big puddle over there. I know. I'm saving that one. He's saving.

Hey, you leave it there long enough of catfish. I leg that up in a minute. Yeah. But anyway, look, you boys are. Your boys or dads, what's your one piece of fatherly advice for all of the fathers out there? What's the one, is there one staple? I mean, you know, what's one thing? We've probably got a lot of new fathers or expecting fathers listening to this show.

So what, if you had to tell them one thing. You need to let your kids know how much you love them. and you also need to let them know how much you love their mother. Don't hold back on that. And all these activities you don't want to go to, go to them. I never missed a ball game or nothing. And then you need to discipline them, okay, and you need to be consistent with all of the things we just said.

Oh, yeah. Be consistent with the love you show your wife. Okay, be consistent with the love you show the children. And like I said, then if you don't discipline them, you really don't love them. That's right. Okay, that's the bottom line. Yeah. If you can't tell your child no and then if he does what you told him no and you don't tear his butt up,

you don't love him. Because you're letting him run wild. My daddy loved me. Love me. I mean, hey. Did you think less of him? Absolutely not. My mom and dad really loved me with all four, five letters, whatever it is, in capital letters.

Because, hey, they dismal. They dismissed me big times. And look. My grandparents may love me the most. Oh, yeah. No, no. And not only that, okay. And I loved them for doing that.

Take me. Yep. Okay. Because, hey, look, I needed it. They'll remember. They'll remember. I didn't get the whoopings for nothing. I deserved them.

Okay. I earned everyone I ever got. I always hated here. And I needed. You'll understand. I needed the boundaries. But it's true. Okay.

I needed the boundaries. Mm-hmm. Okay. Because otherwise, you just go stupid. End up in jail. You know, yeah. No respect for anybody. Get killed.

Get killed or end up in jail. No respect for anybody, no self-esteem. And no self-control. That's right. Johnny Deere. You're the youngest father out of this bunch. I'm in what you would call the weeds of fatherhood. What are they?

7, 5, and 2. That's what I'm raising. But yeah, you know, tell them you love. My kids, no. It's hard for me to discipline my kids, like legitimately hard. Because I don't, that's the most miserable thing ever. You're a big soft to, you know. Yeah, for sure.

I'm a push over and a house. You can bring them over to my house. Yeah. Well, no, I mean, I do it. I like it. But, yeah, no, it's, my kids have done figured out, like, if they get in trouble, then just go cuddle up on dad. Everything be all.

So, yeah. Mama's got to be the bad guy. No, Mama ain't the bad guy at all. No, I'm the bad guy, but, you know, it is that thing. You got to, if you correct it behavior and stuff when they're young, it's way easier than dealing. with it when they're 15, you know. I've heard that 100 times.

If you don't deal with it before 15 it's too late. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're not even going to touch them. You're going to be going really through it then. I got pretty well-behaved kids. They're just rambunctious

as all get out. Like, they don't stop. They got some energy. Now, nowadays. Yours wasn't rambunctious? She hid under the pulpit at church. I know.

No. Oh, you may? She was a handful. Oh. Oh, yeah. My two kids were pretty wild when they were being brought up. I wonder where they got that from. Oh, no, yeah.

But, hey, my grandchildren. Oh, Lord. No, no, no. I call them that. No, they're not children. They're destructos. Destructos. Okay.

I need to drop Carter and Benz off at Sy's house from afternoon. Oh, man. Yeah. I really believe this. you could give them a stainless steel marble and put them in the middle of Sahara Desert and they would figure out a way to destroy that stainless steel marble. Because they, everything they touch,

they tear up. They tearing up your stuff, man? Oh, tearing up. Look, I got one that he climbs up. My wife has all kind of knick-knacks that she's been collecting over her whole lifetime. and hey there ain't but a few of them left okay because he got up and destroyed all the ones he could reach and hey he's about you know the 98% monkey okay so hey you can't put it higher enough that he can't get to it oh my kids can't climb too and i can't even do a chin-up i walked in the living room one time

i think she was about four or five she was young she wasn't in school yet And she was sitting on top of the freezer, on top of it. She pulled the drawers out of the cabinet and used it for a lighter and jumped up her. Just sitting up her. Like she's supposed to be there. That's awesome. I love it. Yeah.

I wasn't ever much of a climber as a kid. I was more of, I still, as a kid, I had an offensive lineman's mentality. Like, climb that wall? No, let's just go through it. That's just right. Let's just figure out a way to get through it. No, I can tear it down. Yeah.

That's why my kids are and they do it to grandkids. Yeah. I'm telling me, I ain't going around it. No, I'm going to run through it. My kids aren't as much destructos as they are, like, whenever they start talking, everybody holds their breath because you don't know what they're going to say. Well, especially at 7, 5, and 2 because what they are going to say is pure honesty. Oh, yeah.

And they've said it. I would just think say out of the mouths of. babes. Yep. Okay. And that's the top list, that honesty. We're sitting here, remember nolly. If you don't want to hear it, you better.

Don't ask my kids. Don't ask them. Oh, I've gotten more call, like after and they're like, how you're never going to believe what Carter said to Dan. I'm like, oh, yeah. Oh, boy, here we go. Buckle up. Or Benz.

You know why we're remembering it and laughing? Because we're cherishing those memories. Oh, yeah. Amen. Look, that's the deal. Like, that's all fantastic advice for young fathers, new fathers and all that. And, you know, as we go through this deal, there's also probably those dealing with other types of fathers, fathers that may be gone, absent, or, you know, just no longer here and up there with Jesus. So look, our thoughts and prayers are with y'all as well.

You know, Father's Day, Mother's Day, all those bring back lots of emotions for lots of different people. So wherever you're at in life, know that you're not along with that. And hey, thank God our Heavenly Father still lives. You know what I'm saying? Yep. I like that part. On that note, let's take our last break. We'll get back into that hello at duckcallroom.

Dot com mailbag. We're going to open the mailbox. Mailbox money. That's right. All right. It's our favorite time of the week. Look, we are in the hello at duckcallroom.com inbox. Hello.

Thank you all for all the emails. we do go through. Johnny D. What did you find most interesting this week? Oh, okay, okay, okay. I got a little, I got a life advice. You know how much I like to hear size advice on life. Jesse, my man, Jesse.

Does he have a girl? I'm guessing it's Jesse. Somebody shot him in the boat. No, it's Jesse. Sorry. He who watches Duck Dynasty, Buck Commander, Finn Commander, Unashamed, and the Duck Call Room.

and he loves us, but he needs his help. He's 25 years old from Maryland, self-employed, so he doesn't hang out with a lot of other people. I fish and hunt a lot. Preach, my man. Martin with the preach. You sound like me. You don't hang out with a lot of people and you fish and hunt a lot. I would say we'd be friends, but we both know there's a problem right there.

We don't like other people. So here we. And this is why he needs advice. I've been single for a long time, and I'm not going to meet anyone new unless I run into them in the Woods. Wrong answer. And that's not going to happen. Let me finish. I don't like going out. Okay. How do I meet new people? Jesse from Maryland, life advice. Go. I'll go first. Church. Don't take the easy one. No. That was going to be mine. Well, that's the best way, because you will find somebody at that church house that is like-minded. Odds are, Jesse,

after hearing you describe yourself, you'll be looking for somebody on the back row. Not in the middle of the pew. Close to the door. Not in the middle of the pew. Mark, expert on the subject. There'll be on one corner or the other.

And if there's a side door, I'd check there too. If there's a side exit, I would check all exits sitting on the end closest to it. Odds are there'll be somebody there you can get along with. I'm impressed.

Well, that's, well, when I read the, I hope back. We just had a freak of gas show up. So what I just saw is fight or flight. You go on. Yeah.

Yeah, you impressed me with that. No, that was a great answer. And when I read the email, I said, well, Jesse, you need to talk to Martin. Yeah, there you go. I mean, I'm just saying that that's a true statement, I believe. I mean, that's how I would, if he were sitting here, that's what I'd tell. I will say, because mine ain't that good. I was just going to say, well, okay, you're spending, you're spending too much time in the woods by yourself.

Okay. So you need to go find some place. And Martin come up with the best one. Go to church. Okay. And I didn't know all the ends and I tell you. You've got to look specific places for your type of person, which will be in the back row, he said.

Look, and I'll tell you this, when you're worried about being single, look, I'll tell you the good Lord's got a sense of humor because overall I think most people would describe me as an introvert. I would say so, Martin. Other until you give me a microphone and stuff like this. Give him a microphone. Until you really get to know you.

Yeah, until you. But I got layers up before you, I got, there's a lot of layers of this onion before you get in there. I'm still peeling back every day. He just don't let anybody in, boy. It's a hard way, it's a hard place to get into. Some big, thick layers. But you'll look up and you'll see that the good Lord's got a sense of humor because he'll let you meet somebody like my wife, who is the exact opposite and is an extrovert.

know, I'll challenge anybody for the microphone at any time. And next thing, you know, you've been married six years and you're happy as can be. So, you know, don't resist. Don't just go there and have a good time. Go there with nothing in mind and see what happens is mine. I'm glad you said that because, you know, this is, to me, this is God's, I can't even think of the word to say. Plan?

But it's really, it's really a. great time for the almighty because trust me when i tell you okay he's got someone for you jess already picked out okay and all he's all this the way it is okay you're going to have to help him out by going looking okay because he'll put you together seek and you shall find that's right he will bring you together and then hey then your whole life is going to change my mom man. Boy, ain't that the truth.

Oh, hey. And look, for those of us that flow with it, it's changed for the better. Sure. You try to buck that current,

though. Yeah, but every once while, you know, you got, you know, a little friction in different areas

of your life. So there's a... Go ahead. No. There is a church in our town that has a, like,

a young people thing on like Thursdays. A mixer, a mixer, if you will. It's all for like 20 to 30 year olds. And they're probably,

Jesse, I'm assuming that happens in Maryland. And we had this like magazine did like a contest, best restaurant, best sporting goods store, like local stuff.

And the best place for singles to mingle, bars came in second, third, and fourth, but the church thing came in first. There you go. Bo boom. There you go.

So if you're looking for somebody, that's the place. That was going to be my post. And I'll add this for you, okay, Because, hey, look, you're not looking for quantity here. Okay? You're looking for quality.

Quality. Okay, so, hey, the bars may have come in, second, third, fourth, and fifth. Hey, go with the first one. Amen. Okay. That's good stuff. That is good stuff. That's good.

Guy, one, any advice? How to meet people? I think that one was kind of a soft toss. Like you said, get connected. If I need to draw you out a playbook, Jesse, let me know. I can mark him places in the church to look for. Send us a diagram of your church, Jesse.

Hey, that's right. Hey, send it up here and he'll give you all. I can draw it out like a decoy spirit, sir. And I'll tell you where you're going to find the people you like. And look, he'll tell you where to set up for the viewing. Tell me, you're in the back, you're overlooking the whole thing, boy. Especially if you get up a little high where you can see the whole crowd. Church is the only place I'll put.

my back to a door. You notice in here, I'm looking at that door. I don't like putting my back to the door. Well, yeah, because Will you can come in and make you put your pants. I saw him coming. And it's just because of what just happened. That's exactly right. That's why the boys in the West used to always go in the saloon and have their back to the

door. Yeah. You always got to know what's behind you. Don't want to be surprised, boys. At this office, Becky may come driving through that wall in a minute, so you never know. Well, don't tell Becky's stories. We'll have to show that video on one of these because we still got it. I got the video, boys.

Oh, right. Man to hit the break, hit the gas, boy. Well, it's been a great week. Johnny D. You're going to send us home with a verse. He got us, baby. Something for daddies or something? The best fatherly advice.

Love it. Any human being has ever given. Proverbs 226. Start children off on the way they should go. And even when they were old, they are, threw me off. Go ahead. And even when they are old, they will not

depart from it. What King James verse are you? That's true. That's a good one, boys. That is a good one. I love it. And it's true. And I can say I'm a testament to that verse.

So thank you to my dad and all dads out of you. Ain't that the truth? Thank you for dragging me to church. Yep. Amen. Yep. All right. We'll see y'all next week.

Go to church, son. Your woman is waiting. Love it. Trust me, she's there.
