Because everybody at that Bassmaster Classic, they ain't talking about Duck Dynasty no more. They're talking about you and what we talk about on here. Every last one of them. And don't hear me, folks. I see that clock rolling. He's trying to slick me over there. Look, I'm looking up there. I ain't complaining.

It's just bizarre. Because Duck Dynasty did so much, and we've answered those questions for so long. and now the deal is now you remember that episode y'all were talking about this and I'm like that wasn't Duck Dynasty I'm like the podcast well hey no no no no but here's one thing about that tell us one thing about it hey

I was shocked at some of the stuff that the fans asked you know give me some help with this uh huh and I mean this is and I'm talking about all of us yeah okay I was no I was more than shocked I was actually amazed Amazed.

No, no, no, no. At. More than shocked. At. It's amazed. The great information that come from each one of you guys. Oh, yeah. Well, no, no.

I didn't figure y'all was that bright. I'm sick. I really was. I was stunned. You used to be the smartest man in the room. No name with us right now, but hey, he's included that. Yep. What about?

No, no. And John. Oh, no. Hey, one line of John and all. Oh. Oh, yeah, I have one old boy said, I got a new joke for goblin. I said, lay it on me. And it was, why did the chicken cross the road?

That's right. That's famous. Well, what's the answer? Because. I mean, that was a goblin one if I'd ever heard it. I said, law. Because. I will say, though, for the first time in my life, everybody disagreed with Sae.

Uh-oh. What? What did I say wrong? say wrong that they disagreed with me. I can't wait to find out. Yeah. It was in defense. Everybody is in defense of the Walmart employee that would not bring up.

Oh, good grief. They all mad at you. They said, well, he got a ton of money. Why didn't he just buying both? I said, y'all wouldn't pay it that close of attention. Yeah. This took place in probably 73. Oh, yeah.

I said, this is before. Si was scraping up money out of his cup holder to go in there and buy a robbery. And pick it up bottles off the highway. Yeah. This wouldn't know, y'all missed the timeline here. Somebody called you a Karen in the emails. Oh, big Karen. What?

What? A Karen. A Karen. Somebody that asked for a manager. Explain to him, Martin, what a Karen is. No, I'm not, you ain't getting me. Or you were. I'm sure there's people that listen to this who's name's Karen.

You ain't sending me down that road. JP from Pennsylvania. Now you're someone on my has-been. No, you ain't a has-been. Yeah. No, that ain't got... He's just dead. You used to be.

Smack him, Sire. Oh, no. You used to be a carrot. Now you're just a sigh. But it was incredible. I mean, and I'm talking about... Bassmaster? Yeah, I'm talking about folks of all ages, too.

Like, from this high to this high. Grandma. Everybody listens. Babies and Grandma. So that's awesome. So remember that when we tell our stories. I did have a story request from Cy as well. Have you been struck by lightning?

Hey, that's so funny. that you asked that because that was a day? I got one. I got one too. Just the other day? The guy said, you got to have Sia tell about that time he got struck by lightning. And I said, well, buddy, he ain't told me that one yet, so I'll find out if he's got it. Did I write this down in the book somewhere?

Because I can't remember. Okay? Hey, no, he won't. Oh, no, it wasn't. I didn't get struck by lightning. I'm in this house, my buddy, it's written, okay, and I'm rented from him. and there's a violent, I mean violent storm, tornadoes and everything come. And look, lightning strikes above that house about 50 yards in the woods.

It blows the TV and all the systems in the house, the TV part. Gone. Anything electrical, digital. It fries it. Well, hey, he's trying to make me pay for this. I move out. Because of the lightning strike? And I said, hey, look, that was the act of God.

I ain't paying for that. So I don't win into them, went into them waivers of the insurance policy. That one falls under act of God. Yeah, yeah. And I said, hey, you know, I can't, I ain't going to pay for that. Not in the contract. So it wouldn't because you were watching the TV and listening to the stereo at the same time, huh? Well, hey, look, I mean, no, it just, hey, it went through the house.

Hey. Hey, I'm talking about, I'm serious. I was in a recliner in the house, and when it hit, it actually lifted me out of the recliner. You know, and look, my hair. You may have got hit directly. No, no. No, I didn't jump.

You didn't jump. Headphones are gone. King. Oh, Don King. Don King. Don King. All in America. That's the way my hair looked.

Okay, I had the Don King look. That's how close the lighting was. Oh, I love it. I thought you were going to tell the story about when you went, y'all went fishing and you put two leads down and was cranking, and you passed out, and when you woke up you had a boat full of fish. No. Wait, what?

He's talking about something illegal there. I'm talking about something dropping something holes. red and cranking something. Oh, like you don't know what that's up. Yeah, like, I don't know what that. He thought he was calling them out. He told me, hey, he told me my ball there. Hey, that's what I look like.

Only in America. Okay. If it wouldn't for that hat, you wouldn't be far from that right now. There you go. There you go. Head funds back on. So that's your lightning strike story. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Well, I got another story I just found out. That guy seemed like it was going to be way more entertaining than me. Oh, hey, like I said, he'd like to jog by. me let me have to go get a copy of psychology 101 and see if there's something in there i got one in the truck 95% truthful that book that's probably hitting that everything's true except the part that's completely made up yep i mean that's right what would you aim but five cent five percent boys so i i was talking with sigh's wife last week i was over at their house

fizzing and she said did sigh tell you about his sleepwalking episode and i said i have heard that sigh when he was young would sleepwalk a lot she said not only did he sleepwalk he got up got dressed got in his truck and took off down the road and had his tea with him when he woke up oh no that was here lately lately yeah no no no that was here lately i look at get it hey i don't know if you've ever done this before no no no actually a sleep i've slept walk it's sunday morning i got up sleep driving and i'm and i'm and i'm like i'm in a fog nothing's clear well I had that but that had that

oh no no no no look I'm going in the house you know and I'm going inside and I'm looking and what I'm thinking okay I want my tea so I finally get my tea you know drink a little of it and then look at my watch yeah okay it's time to get in the truck

and go to church you know and look I didn't actually clear get clear until I got over the I-20 bridge. So you were asleep the whole time? I was actually, well, I don't know if I was asleep. That's what it felt like.

Here's the deal. I've now, and I've been in favor for a while. Once you reach a certain age, you should have to retake the driver's exam, and you might fall into that category. Now, here's what I'll say for Si. That was asleep at the wheel, sir. Well, that's fine. Oh, I wasn't to sleep at the wheel.

I'm paying the sense and all what I always do. Here's what I'll tell you about, sign. But I was just, it was a weird feeling. He doesn't hold up traffic. No. He's not the problem. Oh, no, no, no, no. He ain't going to be the slow problem.

He's not the problem. Yeah. Well, a lot of people. This is for all the drivers on the highway. Watch out. Watch out. No, no. This is for all the drivers on the highway.

Getting the right. No, no. Abbey the speed limit. In town, out of town, anywhere. If it says 55, don't drive 30. If you do, get in the right lane. Just his commentary when he's riding with me. Even when you're there, you should still do 55.

I think got an accelerator. Hey, that's the reason it's got an accelerator. You know, neutral park, all these things, drive, okay? You know, use it. It's got, hey, that's really got a steering wheel. Okay, you could turn, you know. Don't get him just mind, you know. I don't know.

Don't get me on driving. He doesn't got so mad. Hey. Look at it. He's stirred up. I got to have a drink. But time out, time out. I got to hear more about your grandma almost getting arrested.

But it's going to be after this first break. Good grief. JD's grandma? That's what he said. 15. Yeah. No way. That just goes to say here's a alert for you.

Don't fail with grandma. Oh, Lord. All right. We'll be back. All right. look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cooking. And y'all know, we love to eat beef around here. And that's what, because of our friends over at Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good.

Our friend, Sall Robertson would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Triedells, 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, Triedails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales 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 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. I was at Buckees.

Yeah. Yesterday? It's magical. I spent a ton of money. But I was... He didn't bring me no chocolate cover of pecone? No, no, no. I got a lot of beef jerky.

But I was pumping gas and this dude walks up to me. He goes, are you John David? And I was like, yeah. And I was like, I've done something wrong. Yeah. But he was like, I was just listening to the podcast. And I was like, this thing is bigger than I think it is. Oh, it is.

Yeah. So hello, man that stopped me at Buckees. And also, me and a kid took a picture with the fever because he recognized me. I was like, come on, man. Oh, yeah. It was cool. That is a cool aspect of this. I had no idea that.

Our ramblings would mean so much to so many. It is what it is. We get a goldmine every once in a lot. Yeah, and I think we're on a verge of once. So, yo, grandmama, got arrested? My dad is at church on a Wednesday night. Oh, by the way, happy birthday. Dad, today's his birthday.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday, big day. How old is it? 62. Everything today is 62% off at the honey hole. Go by and tell them. Go by and tell them. Just right down there, folks.

Okay, fine. If you come by on March 7th and say that, we'll give it to you. Hey, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I hear's later. Anyway, so my dad was at church. He gets a call from my grandmother. My grandmother's 88, 89. My grandmother talks about the Great Depression.

She's been around for a minute. She's been here hot. She's awesome. She's really good at Jeopardy. Like, unbelievable. She has written into Jeopardy, like, with the mail and said, hey, you actually had this question wrong. There you go. It was like a biblical question.

And they said, yeah, you're right. but nobody really like they're like technically you're right so my grandmother it's not she's she's sharp yeah but anyway so my dad gets a call from her she's like hey can you come pick me up and he's like why and she goes well we got pulled over and he's like we'll just drive home she's like can't do that and also you might need to give my friend a ride home too uh-oh oh so grandmama and friend yeah so in this story my grandmother is not bonnie she is Clyde just remember that So a cop gets behind them on Arkansas Road and clocks them going 58 in the roundabout. It's a 35 or 45, however you look at it.

Well, they're speeding. About 25. Well, they see the cop car behind them and they're like, uh-oh, better get over. The cop needs to get around us. No, they was after you. And then they're like, oh, they're like, is that a fire? Like, there's lights behind them. It's dark.

They don't really know what's happening. They're like, okay, maybe it's a fire truck. they need to get around switch lanes cop switches lanes back behind them this goes on for a short time of switching back and forth to let the cop get around them

and he ain't getting around him he's trying to pull them over so he's switching like they're going they're going sigh Robertson speeds well the cops freaking out he's like they're up there said I wish they just go around me then blue light is distracted so the cops radioing in Like, hey, I got somebody.

They're not pulling over. I need backup. Mayday, Mayday, whatever they say. Well, you know, that's Wachitae Parish. Well, they're headed into the great state of Westman Road, Louisiana. And they're radioing up. Like, these people won't stop. I don't know what it is.

They don't know that it's literally two 85 and up-year-old women on their way to church. That's all they were doing, just driving a little fast. They don't know. They don't found a spirits, huh? Well. So my dad shows up to where he was supposed. to pick them up and he's like, well, not going over there, way too many cop cars. They must be in the parking lot down here.

And then he calls her and she's like, where are you at? She's like, in the middle of all these cop cars. He's like, there's 15 of them. Yeah. So. They had an alert. Granny on the loose. Oh, it gets better that y'all aren't going to believe this.

She got tased? No, not tased, but that spike strip finally stopped. No. No. They spiked them? So they get into West Monroe. There's cops waiting on them. Before we go any further, what kind of car does your grandmother drive?

It wasn't her car. That would have been hilarious because that's a white minivan. But it was just a small SUV. Spike strip. So not a clear grandparent car. So grandma gets spiked. So she goes over the spike strip. Here's my second favorite part of the story.

I love it. The cop car chasing them gets it too. hits the spike strip. Oh, yeah. So now these two old ladies have caused eight flat tires. Every cop in the parish is at the, in front of the old Fred's building by Coney Island. There's 15. They ran over the spike strip right there.

They're just trying to go to church, man. So. Hey, remember why I gave the alert? Don't mess with Grandma. So my mom calls me and she's like, I'm surprised they didn't handcuff her. And I'm like, well, Mom, I think when she got out of the car, they realized. They said, yeah, uh-oh. A, we just called eight flats for no reason.

Yeah. Well, they needed to slow down. Well, there was a red light coming. Yeah. Hey. I mean, for crying out loud, I think you could have got their attention at the red light. I guess what just happened with this story? What?

Okay, it reminds me another time when I got caught. I don't know how many showed up. Wait, time out though. Let's wrap this one up. and then we're going to get into yours. Did they do anything when she got out or just said... I mean, she's abandoned. I mean, she can't go nowhere.

No, no, my dad had to drive them both home. And you can't find four of the same tires around this town right now to save your soul anyway. So now this SUV probably got mud grips on the front because it's probably a front wheel drive and slicks on the back. My man, Mike, over Jean's tires, wasn't upset about it, I'm guessing, because that's who everybody goes to. But, yeah, they ran over the Spike Strip.

And that's why my dad was confused. because she said, I'm going to need a ride home. We got pulled over. My dad was like, just go home. And he got there and realized, oh, no, this is a flat tire. She thinks it's the norm now. We got four flat tires. So she's just trying to, so grandma trying to do the right thing, move over for emergency vehicles.

They think she's pulling evasive maneuvers. All the while going straight down Arkansas Road. There's a time in here where common sense would have been pretty good. Are they talking to each other? Who's your grandma's friend? I don't really. Oh, let me tell you what they're doing. What's that conversation like?

I wish they just go around us. I can hear Grandma my name. They also thought there was a fire truck. It went from cops to fire trucks to ambulance. And they just kept on. Get in the other lane. They just wanted out. The other lane.

If you are listening, if you see a cop behind you, just slow down at least. You'll figure it out if you, that's why I was going to say. Grandma, all you had to do was like when you eased over, if you'd have backed off the gas, you'd have figured out. Oh, they're getting me. Yeah. Oh, it's me. It's my turn. But my grandmother wasn't driving.

I just want to point that out. Oh, she was just the accomplice. She was just the accomplice. That's good. There you go. And then the cop told my dad, they're like, yeah, they kind of seemed confused. And my dad was like, yeah, there was a spike strip. Yeah.

I'd have been confused too. And they were 30 seconds away from a seizure with flashing blue lights going behind them for seven miles. That's elderly abuse. I'm calling it in. Oh. Unbelievable. It's so funny. We've laughed about it.

Everybody's laughing now. Now. See, that's what happens when you get out age and you get out after 5 p.m. I mean, time needs to change so we can go to church at night during the light daylight hours. Oh, my goodness. Anyway. Okay.

Fifteen. Fifteen, I don't know how many showed up for us. Uh-oh. Who? Okay, we went, me and you. Uh-oh. We're out of an event. Oh, now I know what you're talking about.

We're in our event in Mississippi. Okay. And I should have. I should have, it should have rested on my mind when they cops said, hey, look, when you leave, you need to go down here and take this road when you leave. So hold on, Sigh. We're going the way they told us to, to head home. Yeah.

And I see Jep and Jessica on the side of the road standing beside Jep's truck. Mm-hmm. And I said, Sigh, slow down. That looks like Jep. He said, that is Jep. And then he punched the gas. Whoa. I said, look, I want to do.

Turn around. Let's go check on them. He said, wait, me, tell me, he may need help? I said, no. He don't need help. So look. See you, bro. I'm going on, you know, I'm already three, five miles down the road in blue lights.

Yeah. So I said, look, this isn't a dangerous part of the highway. This is one of the things that they dug out ditches and built the road up because there's a low place, you know, for flood. So there's no place to really pull over. safely. You know? So you just, he's got behind me and gets behind me with his light, so I just kind of ease off by highway, just got my right tires off a little bit, you know, and rolled one day down

and I wasn't speeding. You know, and I said, what in the world did you put me over for? He walks up the cop, does. You say what in the world? Oh yeah, no, no. I said, hey, why in the world did you put me over? The cops already laughing. You know what I mean?

When he's laughing up laughing, and I said, what in the world did you put me over for? He said, because your nephew said, Dad's going to wrong side, did he? Done got got, son. Oh, no. So, look, there's cops from everywhere on Mississippi coming, and they all wore pictures. We're causing a dangerous situation here. Because it's one-lane cars now going through where we got everything stacked up.

And not only were the cops stopping for pictures, but everybody that passed by. Then they saw what was going on. People were getting out of their cars and coming up. Can we take a picture? Traffic, Jeff. Hey. I bet no one of them working.

We turned into. Okay. We was there for an hour and a half. And Jep just drove on by. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Look, got out and took off.

Now I'm sitting where he did it. Yep. Got him. He created a diversion. Yeah, I said, okay. There it is. This is my uncle's side. Go get him.

Oh, my goodness gracious. Well, Johnny did. I'm glad you're grandmothers. And thank you to the police. You know, they never know what they're getting into, so take all precautions, but you did spike strip my grandmother. Yeah.

I'll have to remember that. Somebody needs to spice strip. If you get over, if the cop car pulls up behind you with his lights on, you're in the left lane. And if you get over and he pulled behind you, you need to stop. That's for you.

So I try it a few times, though. You need to stop, because, hey, if you get there going back and forth, you're going to get spike strip. Here comes. comes a step. I'm just glad nothing happened to them when they hit them spike strip.

I mean, I would have done. Because at 85. Anything could have happened. Oh, yeah. They could have had a heart attack. Yeah. Spike strips seems scary. They could have show enough ruined you, Bridgett.

Oh, yeah. That's all I'm going to say. Well, let's take a break. We'll be back. Love you, Grandmother. I'll see you tomorrow night. I'll see you there. I need to carry some spike strips with me and throw them in front of side.

And we're going. We're going to start back. We don't know where we're going. We just took a 45 minute break to tell stories. I'm going to thank. Doug Wolf for the lemon. What is it? Hey, it's actually crystallized lemon in individual packs.

So now you don't have to... His wife was real sensitive. And he told her one day when they were at a restaurant, do you know, you have no idea where that wedge of lemon has been? Now, that's a true statement. Yeah, nasty. Yeah. So I understand what he's...

That goes through my mind every time you suck on one of them things. Well, hey, look. Hey, look. I just happen. Hey, look, think we live to it. Hey. What is it? Now, we are talking about a 74-year-old man that.

Go for it. Are you really, you took that as a shot? You want some water? This ain't a hot chip challenge, Sean. That was dumb. Woo! Why? I was just getting woke up.

Is it tart? It's actually good. I can't see you anymore. It's actually good. I think you're a crosser of me. And it would be, look, it would be a lot easier. He was correct. Okay.

Instead of carrying a big bottle I carry. Carrying a big box? I can carry a bunch of these in my pocket. Yeah. All right, I'm about to do this. Unless you get busted at the airport again. How many does it take to get you tea right? Well, I tried one and it had a good taste, so I put two in it.

Okay. It's good. This whole boy over here is struggling. Woo! That's a good way to get going. Hey, if you ain't mad enough to handle it, don't, don't go much with it. Don't worry. I can't do it.

That's right. Hey, oh, I love lemon juice. But crystallized lemon? That's a pretty good deal. If you're into lemon. No, no, it is. It's actually got a good flavor. This is a ad, by the way.

The name of it is Lemon. The name of it is. Lemon. It tastes just like a lemon. It's crystallized lemon for water, tea, and recipes. It is zero calories, zero gram sugar. Oh.

And it's non-GMO, which is what, gluten? What is GMO? Yeah. No gluten. No gluten. No gluten. Genet. Genetically modified organism.

Ah. Hey, look, it's all healthy, okay, because it's only got what? Carbohydrate, one gram. That's all that's in this whole mess. One gram a car. One gram of car. We're doing people. We're reading the nutritional facts of crystallized lemon.

Si, if you've made it to 73, don't turn them things around and read it. I ain't worried about it. You've made it. You're good. At my age, that's why I'm still eating about a gallon of black walnut ice cream. Pedal it off on that cuby, son. Petal it off on the cube. Cubby, baby.

That's it. So you got a birthday coming up real soon. 74. 7-4. What year were you born? Seven-four boys. Oh, you're going to tell them about that? Oh, no, I'm saving.

I'm saving this special. I love this envelope. It's for the last section. I had to open it. What year were you born? 48. 48? What was gas back then?

Oh, we shouldn't go down that road. Oh, I can tell you exactly what it was. How much was? 32 cents I got one. Well, we're on. only 12 times that now. How much was milk? Oh, I have no idea.

If you'd ask my mom or dad that, okay, they'd tell you. I'd say about three tugs. Oh, no, no. They got it themselves. Oh, no, no. That's what you... This is so crazy when you were doing that. My mind.

They milk in the calories. You used to milk cows? Oh, no, they did. Hey, and they just taking a shot? Oh, right from the udder. Hey, right from the udder. Straight from the source. I don't know that.

I'm ready to do. I did have that conversation with somebody this weekend. I called them a redneck. They said, no, we ain't a redneck. We just country. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, time out. What's that? I said, you got to think of this thing like a pyramid.

Country at the top, right? Probably. And then you go redneck, hillbilly. And then I said, and where we kind of fit in, somewhere between swamp trash and redneck. I said, that's where we at. He went with swamp trash. that was aggressive.

Well, that's what I'd call myself. No, I googled Redneck, and I hit images, and Willie Robertson 100% comes up twice on the, like, second. I was hoping it would be side. I believe that. I believe it. But Willie 100%. Side didn't make the cut?

i got sigh good one i took my family to a movie probably a month or two ago there's five of us How much money do you think I spent? Five people? When we went to the movies. Now, we didn't laugh for folks. First of all, how many adults and how many kids? Two adults, my family. Me and my wife, three children.

One of them was two at the time. How much money? Oh, you spent $130. $130. Never mind, he's a genius. How did you get that? I thought you'd go way low. No.

Oh, no. It's ridiculous. Oh, no, no, no, no. It's 20, 25 ahead. Yeah. To go to it right. Yeah. If you go at night, if you don't go at 11 a.m.

Oh, what was the deal on the news? I'm never going to do. Town had a shooting over his other night. Well, that happened. Did it? Yeah. And West Monroe? Yeah.

Not over here. Was your grandmama there? She was driving a getaway car, Martin. Accomplice. No, I don't know what happened. Everybody's okay. Somebody did get shot at the movie theater. Which, you know, why?

where this is supposed to be a sleepy little town of west monroe oh no oh it's perfect for a date line but they called them john david i don't know i just saw it a minute ago they are well as far as i know they said hey the investigation is ongoing nobody's dead but somebody got shot in the leg um i don't know yeah why are we shooting everybody i don't get it well no no no why are we still killing each other that's what i'm saying yeah we have It ain't ducks. It ain't human season. Don't make any sense.

Everybody's quick to go guns around here, boys. Yeah, four gunshots. There was an altercation. But I couldn't tell you the last time I went to the movie theater. They've made it so convenient for you to do the same experience at your house. When I went and it was $130 or whatever, the next day there's a commercial. Hey, this movie didn't work in theater. There's $20 at your house.

I was like, I would do that all day. Yeah, they've made it soaking. The popcorn's almost as good because we cook it. Well, there's nothing saying you can't go walk in, grab your popcorn and go back home at that point. Well, we used to do it, though, okay, for a break from the house. Yeah, to get away, have something to do. Yeah, to go to the movie, take a break from a house. Well, in theory, it was a date night location or take the family, you know, family night and all that.

I always thought movies were a terrible date because you're just sitting there in silence. Surrounded by people. It's a good place. Accountability. Watching other stuff. Yeah. You really, most time when I went, I watched the people. I was like, I wanted to see how people reacted in said movie.

And I low-key judge the people down there on the front row. Like, how do y'all make this work? Why is this okay? The front row? Yeah, it hurts your neck. I went down there and experienced that one time. I like the middle. Yeah.

Dead middle. Oh, and I'm the guy on the end so I can throw my leg out there in the aisle. A big old boy now. I needed some room to move. I don't want to be. I've always wanted to go. I don't want to be him then. They got the moving theaters.

I don't either. That was like recliners and like meals. Really? Yeah. Recliners are good at tensile. So they got an upscale. No, I'm talking like lazy boy. Now that's one thing I do.

You gotta go to a big city. It's put a real comfortable chair and put, you know, cup over. You don't have your cup holder where it's bad to get you all this stuff in the movies. And then you go down there and there's nowhere to put it. Yep. So you end over knocking the choke. over it, spitting it all over the place. The popcorn fall, and it goes everywhere.

Since we're talking about this, so Mountain Man called me, this has been a while back, and he was like, Hey, Philip, what are you doing? I said, what's up, Mountain Man? He said, do you want to go to the movies? I said, yeah. What? So me and Mountain Man, go to the movies at Tenseltown. What movie? Just you and Mountain Man on a bro date to 10th?

Yeah, he was like, hey, go see, you know, go check this movie out. I was like, okay. I did not know, but Mountain Man can't whisper. He doesn't have an inside voice. So it's dark and I'm coming in, you know, he's already got the seat. And he's like, Philip, I'm over here. I said, shh. He said, I'm being as quiet as I can.

I said, that's the last movie that I go to with Mountain Man. He never quit talking during the whole movie. What movie was it? I can't even remember it's been so long ago. You just went, I just think it's kind of fun that you and Mountain Man went to movie. Yeah, I like Mountain Man. I like Mountain Man too. You two just don't strike me as the movie going duo.

Hey. Like, hey, you want to go see Batman Mountain Man? Sure. Well, you're going to pay for it. I always remember we visit church and I'm riding with him going home with a... So I don't tell that story. I am going to tell it. Look, so we pull up, Mountain Man comes walking out and he's got...

a handful of ducks that Jason gave him that they killed that morning. So he, you know, Philip drives up and Mount Mouse, you know, weighs him down. He rolls one of the down. And Mountain Mountain Mountain Mountain Drive down. And Philip just rolls one that drives him away. And his wife, his wife slapped him and said, you are so rude. Get your story out, bro. No, no, no.

That's known as an in-person ghost. Oh, no, yeah, but just Philips. Roll up. Hey, Phillip said, darling, hey, you don't understand. I ain't got two hours. We got to go eat lunch. We already got this to be six and come out of the oven. Philip just hit the ignore button in person.

Oh, God have mercy. Hey, I love him, man. I love him. I love him. I was that Mountain Dog? Yeah, because when I first met him, I asked Willie, I said, Willie, you know, girl, he was filming, you know. I said, where did you find these people, you know, Willie?

And he said, oh, no, he's my, uh, conditioning the man. He said, I had him over the house the other night, and then he said, Oh, I was there the first day he showed up. Oh, no, no. Yeah. And Willie said, okay, yeah, I got one here. Yeah.

Hey, you're going on the show, buddy. Yeah, we got a live one here. Yeah. First time I met him was down at Philling Kay's garage sale. Remember that? The squirrel. Yeah. The squirrel.

I just want, I'll just give five dollars for that, Willie. Well, here's 10. Bye. Yeah. And a truck. Ah. Yeah. I never forget.

That was really like our first really like strong day of production outside the office. We drove at 100-yard stretch of Phil and Kay's house 19 times to get the timing right with that rascal, Mountain Man. Because they were like, we needed like 10 seconds or less, Mountain Man. Nope. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. If you're on time frame, no, sir. He ain't got it, boy.

He ain't going to do it. Let's get to them. That was one of my favorite episodes when me and Woody. went to Mountain Man's radio show. Was it? Oh, yeah. That's good. That's good.

That's because they had the bells. Oh, no, because look, I'm behind Willie. And, hey, that was on the darn. Here we go. That's a reception window. And just as soon as I saw it, I started laughing and said, I fixed to drive these people insane. And congratulations, you still do it.

Oh, no. Yeah. Just hit it. One time, Cy, go ahead. Hit it and send us to it. break. No, no. All right, we're going to take a break.

We'll be right back. Let's get out of here. All right, we're back. And we're back. What's in that mailbag? Hello at duck call room. dot com is the mail bag. Or duck call room,

117, Kings Lang, Westmore, Louisiana, 712992. I got a real letter in the mail. Physical mail. And it's in great handwriting. And on back, it's not, I mean, it's a child's handwriting. It says duck call room.

And I'm the one that opened it because I said, This has got to be from a lovely lady or a young man, young person with a star. So we have, if you're on YouTube, you can probably see this from a distance. We had a kid right in, and he needs some advice. About what? What's it saying? My name is Jay Hu. I'm a kid.

I have a friend. His name is, I'm going to leave this kid's name. Okay, no, we're not. His name is Owen. I appreciate that. I ain't going to leave it off. And he is not nice. Uh-oh.

He is bad. I want to help him. How do I help it? How would I do that? First of all, what a great heart this kid's got. He wants to help his friends. This is Jayhu. I didn't know how to pronounce it.

J-E-H-U. You? Jay-hoo? Yeah, I'm going by his mom or dad's handwriting on the letter there. Okay. And he has a friend. Owen's been getting in some trouble, man. He's not a good kid.

He had a friend. He's not a nice kid. He's not nice. Well, he is bad. That's what Jay-hoo says. Well, Jayhu, Why are you hanging around somebody? Oh, hold on.

You need to hang around. You're just friend. That's what I'm saying, though. Maybe he's get his friend, Jayhu's friend's getting in trouble. He's bad and he's kind of bullying other people, maybe. But if you lay with dogs, you're going to get fleas.

I'm just trying to keep the boy from getting some fleets. Now, I'm not saying he shouldn't help him. Okay, yeah. But maybe sometimes when you lose something that causes you to buck up a little bit. maybe Jayhu just needs to say, look, man, if you're going to keep acting like this, we can't be friends.

That's exactly right, because you've got to tell him why you're getting away from him. You know what I'm saying? Tell him why you're getting away from him. You can't continue. I didn't know where you was going. Yeah, you can't continue to be the good guy in a relationship and, like, enable this kid.

Yeah, because he's going to tell him. If you can't change him, then you need to drop him. Yeah, that's right. Okay, because if you keep on, it's going to rub off him. And sometimes the act of dropping is all the, all the, All our friend Owen needs to straighten up a little bit.

Straighten up, Owen. Great name, though, Owen. Yeah, that's cool. But hey, Jayhoo, good on you, son, for taking the time to handwrite a letter, concerned about another human. That is so rare in these days. You're concerned about another human and not just yourself, so I applaud you, young Jayhu. And I applaud your parents.

I'm sure you're listening, parents. Yeah. So thank you. This is awesome. Absolutely. That's cool. We're giving out advice. Jayhu, children.

Give your friend a chance, and then if he don't straighten up and become a better person because you, sir. Call it. You have to call it. That means leave the situation. You gave him a shot. Give him your best shot, brother.

Disengage. If you don't fall in line with you, well, hey, you just got to turn him loose. Hard said, Colin. Calling. It's a hard life, Jayhu. Time to learn that early. That's right. All right, my next one.

Ivan, I'm going after you, Ivan. Minifie, California. Now that's an area I wouldn't suspect we'd be very big in. You know what? And this guy says he's an atheist. And he's listening to us? I bet that's tough. That's a weird thing, isn't it?

Yeah. He goes, but he recognized the gospel. He says, does some good for some people. You're going to find out one day that there's a whole lot of good eternal life. But he says A sandwich is the best thing Well, hold on He's mad at us for not like an avocado

He's mad at us for not like an avocado. He's mad at us for not like an avocado. John a guy with a friend. I don't know that they're friends. He just wanted to say What's wrong with us for not like an avocados? Can I tell you the problem? And we should eat more avocados.

Can I tell you the problem with an avocado? They tried to replace cheese with an avocado. What? They started putting it on everything. Yeah. When it was on its own little deal, like you could order this with some avocados, that's fine. Now everything you looked up, it won't be long. Popeye's going to have avocados.

You can't go down here and get a BLT without them putting avocados on it. That's what I'm saying. That's not a BLAT. That's a BLAT. Yeah. Avocados stink. They don't stink. They just don't bring a lot to the party.

No, I'm just saying they stink. Okay. No good. But you don't like them. But Ivan says we're wrong about avocados. Comparatively speaking, if you're having a house party. Nobody cares. They're the person that brings Fritos and canned bean dip.

That's what avocados is. They just don't have a whole lot to offer. You don't ever look up and they've got a homemade pie or a brisket. Who brought the avocado? Yeah, nobody's ever asked that. Said no one. They're terrible. And if...

Guacamole is only okay if you make really, really good... If you put a lot of stuff in it. And then you're like, this isn't any better than salsa. Yeah, if you basically make pico with avocado with avocado in. Yeah, because it's got a bunch of distractions. Holy guacamole. Holy. What?

Number one, you're talking about, hey, you're talking about people's likes and dislikes for crying out loud. Well, avocados stink. Well, to you. I'll eat it. Your opinion. You got your extremists. Okay, and that's what we're talking about here. More avocados.

More avocado, boys. From Mexico. I do like their. commercial. It's like music. Everybody's always yelling more cowbells. All right. So our man's man. Well, and I just want to say, I'll start eating avocados, but you've got to start believing in Jesus. That's my trade. No, I got one thing. I'll eat one every. Yeah, hey, that is a trade. Johnny D. is going to have a Bible study with you while he eats an avocado. That's the only way here. How about that? I might be wrong about avocados, but if you're wrong about that, there's... I got one question.

What is it? All right. What's your evidence to convince you to be an atheist? Okay. That's all I'm going to say. What's your evidence that convinced you to be an atheist? There you go. Think about it and then get back with you.

Get back with him, Ivan. Ivan, the floor is yours. If you don't say crazy stuff in the next email, you write, I'll read it. Yeah. And we'll discuss it on there. All's in your court. One more, Johnny Dealey. One more.

Y'all want. Whack! Y'all want restaurants, Christian girlfriends, or Christian girlfriends? We are the dating experts, apparently. I don't understand. Let's go with restaurants for 100. All right. My name is Corey.

I'm from Devil Hills. That's a lot from 100. North Carolina. Very touristy beach town. He's been working in the restaurant industry for 19 years. It has its ups and downs. He's a server. Have any of you guys ever worked in a restaurant or do you think you ever could?

Nope. Nope and nope And that would be a note for me too I worked in a restaurant So you're not going You're not going to Hollywood Yeah Not Willie's Duck Diner

I worked in a restaurant One of my first jobs I got a seafood place here in town I was like I'm probably a waiter They make pretty good tips It's going to be awesome And two weeks after my first day I walked in

I looked at them in the eyes And I said I quit I'm more cut out for mowing yards Because that crap is tough And here's why I could My hat is off Because people suck. To all servers and especially good servers.

My hat's off to them. Yeah. Because you're the messenger for screw-ups and they continue to shoot you. Yeah. On the famous line is don't shoot the messenger. Like, I'm always very kind and cordial to those people because I have no, even if you bring me the exact wrong thing, I'm not going to huff and puff. I'm not going to do.

I'm going to leave you a tip regardless. And what does getting mad do? It's just to make people mad at you. All it does is increases the chances saliva ends up in your food or something that happens when you can't see it. I know a guy, and I told him, I said, one day I'm going to ask the Lord how much spit you ate in your life

because I don't like going out to eat with them. Just be nice. Just be kind. They might have made a mistake, but just be nice. It doesn't cost you one dime to be kind to people. And especially in today's world, what servers are having to go through. My goodness gracious.

And you also don't know. I was at the airport last night, DFW. Oh, oh. Where'd you go? A little cold front coming here. I went to South Carolina, come back. No, no, no, no. We're not even on restaurants.

I'm talking about the service industry in general. Oh, my goodness. Ticket counter people. Y'all also don't get enough respect. I'm just telling you right now, you don't. They're mad at them because of the weather. And they didn't do nothing. They just, homie chunks his bag.

Oh, come on, bro. At the counter. Displaced anger. And they go into Lafayette, Louisiana. That's right. I'm calling out somebody from my home state. listen to this, that was rude. There wasn't no reason to do it.

And look, buddy, I feel you pain. I've walked up to that door before and seen that plane at the end of that jet bridge. But I couldn't get on it. I've been there. It sucks. Yep. But guess whose fault it ain't that lady at that ticket counter? She did not.

It is not her fault. And throwing that bag at her in that counter, you know what that got you? It got you home at the same time he's going to get home this morning. It probably got you later. because she decided not to help you as much, and good honor for not. I mean, he just proceeded to show his butt. And I was like, but it's a bad deal.

I've been on both sides. I've been the guy as the door's closing, hitting me in the butt going down to Jet Bridge, and I've been the one that was like, eh. I've watched by playing. You ain't getting on board. I always remember that man's anger doesn't bring about the righteous life God requires.

I'm saying, you were talking about the service industry? Yeah. I couldn't know. Hey, look, you people out there that do all this stuff, you do not get credit for how nice you are most of the time. So I. Thank you for your service. I've never worked at a restaurant, but I have and still do work in a service industry where we're having to talk with people. Oh, yeah.

So, I mean, it's customer service all the time. Well, and all of our jobs to an extent are customer service. You know, it's like for us, we're the face of this company, whether we want to be or not. You know, me, say, you know what I'm not. I'm not rude out there. That's what somebody said to me, say, how you do this? Talking about me at the Bass Matcher Classic. I'm like, these people get one chance to stop and talk to me.

Why am I going to be rude to them? I'm going to say, hey, I'm going to shake their hand. If they want a picture, let's take it. If we want to sign something, here's my pen. Like, let's do it. And then let's move on because it didn't cost me not one thing to be kind of that. Yeah. And that's the way, if we would flip that script in this country, we'd all be a lot better off.

Oh, yeah. It's not going to fix gas prices. Yep. Right. But by God, it'll fix humanity. And the girl working the counter to gas station ain't got nothing to do with it. She punches that number in on that ticker and says, sorry, bro. Rude.

She got orders from headquarters. And if you go to Walmart to buy your fishing poles. There you go. Got him. Hey, you want to use Phillips first to close us up? Does you have one? Because I had one too. The one that he just said, I love it.

Do you know where that is? I can't remember where it is. It sounded like a proverb, but I just didn't know. I think that was just Philip McMill in verse one chapter two. Philip McMill. I do have one. Go ahead. Hit us for one.

I got one for our friend in the avocados and our friend Jayhu. I'm going to hit everybody. And for our people in the service industry. This is just the perfect one. for this and I don't know how this this is holy spirit stuff because I just kind of was struggling and googled something and came up first Thessalonians five nine 10 and 11 oh yeah god did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our lord Jesus Christ he died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live together with him I hope

you're paying attention avocato man and now everybody else pay attention to the next first therefore so since Jesus did all that for us encourage one another and build each other up just as in fact you are doing now he wrote that to the Thessalonians if he wrote that to the Americans he might not be saying in fact as you are doing yeah he'd say build each other up just like y'all ain't doing period so let's do a better job hey you know what I'm going to challenge everybody listening do something weirdly nice for someone in the service industry this week, as you're driving around, if it's a drive-thru, I want you just look at them and say, hey, thank you for doing that, and God bless you, and just catch them off guard.

If you're listening to Duckawroom Podcast, do that. Amen. James 120, that's what I call it and didn't even know it. James 120. James 120. Good job, boys. We'll see y'all next time right here. See you.
