But now let's get into the meat of this thing. Cy, two weeks in a row with you. I think you're back for good now. Oh, I am. Hey, look, I had a friend of mine. He's got some people come in. and they want to meet me. So they take me to doze, okay?

Eat place? For dinner or to dine. Yeah, eat place. Yeah, eat place, okay. They have great tamales, best tamales worldwide. And they always have really good steak there. So I ate four tamales and a little chili and about, you know, half a basket of crackers. And then I had a salad, okay, a...

A little colon massage. Yep, a little cold misoders. Then a six-ounce filet, cooked to perfection, I might say. It was light pink in the middle and just, oh, it melted in your mouth. A ringing a dorset. Yeah.

And then, you know, I told them, make my fry it a small batch. Hey, they gave me enough to feed three people. And you ate them all. And I ate about half of it. So, hey, you know, I'm actually getting over the virus, by my appetite. It is back, Jack.

I wonder why that shirt seemed a little stressed over there on the bottom. It's a little tight. It's a little tight, boy. Last week you were just tomato juice or blood, sorry, Mr. T's bloods. That's right, Mr. T. A, the best tomato juice in the world, Mr. T's. Bloody Mary Mix. No, that is. Don't even need no alcohol.

That is not one of our 60-minute ad reads, or 62nd ad reads. I should say that one is just purely sigh loves it I'm giving them thumbs up boys there you go I can drink a gallon of it one thumb or two two two both the size thumbs or what's left of that other one it's a little shorter than the other one but that's fine no I'm just kidding but uh hey you brought that up hey Phil was having hip problems and look went to the doctor and finds out his uh what I think it's his left left leg his left leg is one half and inch shorter than his right leg. That's why he always walks in a circle.

No, no, no, no. Look, it was giving him problems. He had, I mean, pain. Oh, yeah. So, hey, look, they put an in-foot, what, an step thing. Yeah, a lift. A lift in his shoe, I had that, too. Half inch. Hey, the boy has never had any more problem with that.

He walks good down. I ain't got no pain. I just think that's pretty amazing when you think about it. Yeah. He was a little half inch shorter on one side. He's a half off plumb. Yeah, well, there you go. I never know.

I understand that, because I'm about a half bubble off myself. I don't think yours can be fixed by putting a lift in the shit. I will say this, though, being that half bubble off, I have more fun than those that are straight all the way. He's back, baby. He's not kidding. Man, there was like three weeks there. I didn't know if we was going to get, I didn't know how long it was going to take us to get back. Oh, no, no.

I didn't realize how far gone. I was I had the podcast the other day and then everybody in here was talking about me a liar. Yeah. Hey. Well, you did.

You lied to all of them. No, no. I lied about this. I lied about that. The only person, look, the only good point about that was the only person I did not lie to

was that redhead that I'm married to, mean one for about 45 years. No, it's going on 50 now. I fixed me. Oh, yeah, that's right. We fixed it to a five,

big five old. That's awesome. Yeah. That is awesome. God, that's this, oh, that's this year, okay, like two months from now. Do you remember the day you were married on? It was just Valentine's Day, so did you get her anything for that? I don't get, I don't buy presents.

Oh, you didn't do like you did for Christmas and go all out and get her a white sweatshirt? No, no, and I won that. I won that as a door prize. No, that's what I do is, hey, she's. He's got the checkbook. I just say, hey, if you want something, go buy it. Thank you. Do not bother me with, hey, well, you forgot Valentine's Day.

No, that's on her. No, I didn't. You got the checkbook. Are you going to get her set? All you got to do is go get what you want. Si, if you'll give me your checkbook, I'll go get you something for Valentine. No, I don't need nothing. Hey, I'm a man that don't need nothing, fellas.

Think about that. Okay. There you go. Okay. I thought. I thought about it. I was waiting for the delivered. No, he just really wanted to talk about.

I'm serious. I don't need nothing. That's what he said. Nothing. What do you get a man that has everything? Nothing. Nothing. There you go.

That's what you do on the beat. You get him spicy, bloody merry juice. That's what you can do for me, J.D. Bring me a big glass, okay, with four ice cubes and Mr. T's bloody merry mix. Spicy. Only, only, yeah. Square ice keeps. No, it can be round.

It don't make it. The shape of them is important. It's only that you put four in there because you want it to get cold, but you don't want it to be able before you can't get the juice out of it because of all that. You've thought about this extensively.

Oh, no, no, hey. Do you prefer it? The 30 days I was sick. Hey, the 30 days I was sick, that's all this boy did was laying in bed. I don't know. You now know what 40 days and 40 nights is all about, don't you?

That's right. Because you're there. Yep. And stubborn. Oh, no. Hey, people say, oh, no. Since you borrowed 40 days, 49, people say they don't believe in the flood. You haven't lived next to a river.

Okay, because I'm telling you, in the rainy season, if you live next to a river, okay, trust me, you'll believe in the flood because when the water comes up, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because the almighty, not only, It rained 40 nights and 40 days, but he opened the fountains of the deep tooth. Okay. So, hey. He meant to flood it, and he did.

It was coming from below Annabody. Oh, yeah. It was coming. Hey, look, my brother's got a pump. 36,000 gallons per minute is what it pumps. Okay. He starts pumping the duck hole up depending on how bad the drought is. You know, he may start in October.

depending on your hydride it is. Look, he may spend anywhere between $10,000 to $20,000 of diesel. Yeah, I get that. In money, okay? To pump it up, hey, look, when the Almighty's in the mood, he said, hey, I got you back to this year, Phil. I'll fill it up free. Here comes the monsoons, and the hole is slamful,

overflowing, we've got to be draining it out. Okay, so hi, don't tell me he can't flood this baby. Oh, he gets it in his mind to flood it? Oh, it's going to flood. Oh, guarantee. Me and Goblin were up there in Wyoming a couple of years ago, and we went up on top of this hill, and there's these little things up there that look like bullets.

You remember that? Yeah. And they were showing them to us. They looked like bullets, but I said, but that ain't no bullet because it break in your hand. I said, what is that? It's fossilized seaweed up on top of a mountain in Wyoming. Yeah.

You don't think that water ain't deep? That's deep water there. I mean, we's a mile high finding seaweed, and you know that was under the water. No, no. Here's one for you. I lived in Alabama for a while. All right.

Roll tide, baby. Anyway. He didn't mean that. Oh, yeah, yeah, I did. Hey, but anyway, my house, the water for it came from a spring. Okay, and this is in the mountains. This is right on the Tennessee border, okay? You go up the hill, okay,

and you get to the peak, okay, and I'm standing on the peak, I'm looking around, over the whole thing, and 10 yards below me is that spring. Now, you've got to think about this. I don't know what year it was in the 20s. Bad drought in Alabama. Water's dried up everywhere, except for that spring. Now, this spring is at the top of a mountain. Common sense would tell you,

let's put the spring at the bottom on the mountain. Now, the Almighty don't play that. He put it at the top, and guess what? Everything else around there was dried up. This spring is about as big as this table, okay, and about six foot deep, okay, and it's got sand there, and it's bubbling the whole time you're standing there looking at. It's ice cold, sweet water.

Look, a guy run a, a 3 inch PVC pot down to a 2 inch, down to a 1 inch, down to a 1 inch, down to a half inch, and then run it in that house. So whenever you turn that baby on, gravity fed, okay? This ain't got nothing on hookup. That is clear crystal cold, ice cold sweet water, every day when I come home. What did you do when you showered? Oh, no.

Oh, no, that was one trick. It's the good thing we had a good water heater. You're talking about cold, that spring. Yeah. That baby was cold. You lock up and die if you get on the cold water. Oh, no, no, no, no. Here we go.

But you would think the whole cold water. Yeah, you would think the spring would be at the bottom of the mountain. Now, at the top. That's at the top. That way you did it. Now, how might have got all might have got all that water up at the top of that mountain? That's what I'm going to ask him when I get there. That's a good question.

You ask him, Matt. I'm going to ask him why. Why a tick? Why a mosquito? And why a chigger? Yeah. Oh, that's why. Yeah, why?

Oh, no, no. No, no. That's a good question. Because look, we don't know it, but they have a reason for being here. I know, and I got to figure it out. Yeah. No, you ain't going to figure it out.

Forget it. Wait, wait and ask him when you get to have it. I hope he says, that's what I'm saying. That's what I mean when I figured out. I hope he says, you know, I just missed. I was trying and I fouled it up. No. And I just let them loose anyway because I love them.

Nope. It ain't, I didn't miss. No, he said watch you. He don't miss. I know. But there's hope that it was just, you know, a mistake. Because intentional, I'm probably not going to like the answer why he says that's here. Oh, no.

Oh, we're not going to like a lot of answers. He gives why the stuff here. Because I can ask him one, swine a snake. Yeah. Yeah. A good knight. Yeah. A good nap.

There you go. Hey. Hey, forget to Gannette. I don't want a snake. That and many more deep thoughts when we come back on this episode of the Duck Hall room. I think we're thinking to have a break. That was a winding road to the first break. And here we are.

Here we go. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Trial's beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good?

It's so good. But our friend, Cy Robertson, would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritails, 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 them. But with Tritales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales comes from a family ranch out in Texas.

They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living,

you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. You ain't a big meat, these are folks. Yeah. Just go to tribeef.com slash.

That's tribeef.com slash Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Boom, boom, boom, boom. This is the best thing ever. We found this in the duck call room. We don't even know what it is. It's from a TV show that used to be on cable television. That just makes sigh and jace noises.

Wait, was the belts on the room? recording or was that was that was live that was live but that's that good um he does that upon he's still cyphering over at doze in his belly that's why you didn't want me to get you nothing for lunch oh no hey you still suffering from the meat sweat oh that's out of you yeah i got you that was a fine one hey well look so i know this weekend was your grand return oh yeah you went back to the duck hole yep what happened hey After being gone, what, I was in the hospital, the 12th. So 12th on, I'm out on duck hunting.

Well, guess what? This year, the state of Louisiana said, okay, on February the 7th, veterans will give you that day that you boys go out and kill you some ducks. So Stone said, hey, look, I don't got a bunch of people invited over. They're going to be here, you know, Friday night. Yeah, or Saturday night. Yeah, Saturday.

Saturday night, we're going to have a big cook out at my place. I'm going to cook a big, it ain't the backstrap. Tenderloin. Tenderloin. He said, I'm going to smoke a big tenderloin, you know, for supper. And then, you know, and then we'll do whatever else after that. So he did. He cooked that big tenderloin up, and, hey, this is the finest piece of meat available in the world.

That's the second piece of meat you've said that about. Oh, no, no, no. Tell you, look. What about last night? Hey, when Stone cooks it, oh, no, no, look, this is, the steak was good, the filet mignon. So it's the second best piece of meat in the world? Because it was first just the moment's over. No, it was good, but it ain't got, it ain't getting there.

Okay, because Stone, when he cooks that tinneloyne and that trash can, that's what he calls it, the smoker. All right, this is the finest piece of meat you'll ever get a hold of in your life. Okay. It's perfectly, if you like it, medium rare, it's perfectly that. Perfectly. Okay, every time. Perfect. Because he puts a temperature gauge in there, and it gets up to this temperature,

and then that's when he takes it out. 1.40. Nope, 137. Close. In a half. Oh, no. No. 137.

But anyway, then he takes it and wrapped it in 10-4, okay, and he, this is. is for when he lets it breathe for 15 minutes. Got to let it rest. Got to let it rest. Just like you. And then the presentation is that he takes that out, takes the tenfold off, puts it on the butcher block. Okay. And then tell me, how do you want it?

How thick? Y'all and I said, well, you know what I want. I want the end piece because it's light pink in the middle. And it's got a lot of bark on it. Oh, and it's got the good stuff on it. Yeah, you ain't fool of nobody. Yeah. We always fight over that bar.

Anyway, okay, that was the final. I'll find it to work. But anyway, back to the veteran hunts, what we actually brought this together for. Yeah. So Stone's got about, oh, six of his friends, or five of them. Five of them and me, okay?

We all get together, go to the lodge, you know, get the decards, all this stuff, and Stone's done scouted the hole, and he's got two spots where there's ducks. So we go in the morning, nah, wasn't flying too much. not too good. We only kill 10.

Petal. Which was pitiful. Okay, because hey, look, when they get down here, feels property, okay, to the duck population, okay, is worldwide known

as the dead zone. Okay, so, hey, when they finally get down there and light, they ain't flying. And it's hard to kill ducks when they won't fly. So anyway,

so we kill 10 that morning, then we go the afternoon and uh-oh things are picking up especially after we ate them pan-fried hamburgers it filled for lunch which hope are excellent the man didn't eat for three weeks and now he has been on a all beef heaters oh yeah yeah yeah I got the

food sweat but anyway we ended up killing about 40 we killed 30 that afternoon and the vets had a wonderful hunt, and we thanked the state of Louisiana for their appreciation, showing us a day, giving us a day to kill a goat. So, Sy, did you kill a duck on your return back to the dog?

Oh, yeah, I got evil. Did you? Yeah. You got your six of them. I got my six. That's good. And I shot at everything that flies. How many shells did you shoot?

I shot 74 times. I'm like old Johnny Weeks, Every time you'd go to Johnny Weeks up there in the rice field and tell me, well, Johnny, how many y'all kill? He said, we shot five boxes of shells apiece. He wouldn't ever give you a number. No, no. And I said, yeah, but Johnny, how many ducks did y'all kill? You had 40 people in there on all these different duck blind, you know, how many ducks did you kill?

He said, everybody shot five boxes of shells. Quantity. Quantity, not quality. Johnny Winks, as long as you shoot five-box shells, everybody had a good time. Yeah, guaranteed. That's why that's Fetter. To our friends at Heavy Shot, if you're listening, Si needs more 20-gauge bullets because he doesn't got into my stash.

I don't run low, boys. 74 times in the morning. But I figured out a long time ago, you can't kill them unless you shoot at them. That's true. And look, hey, my favorite line that you say, No, I wasn't on him. If I'd have been on him, I could have killed him. Oh, no, no, no.

Yeah, that and, that, that, that, that, that and my lead wasn't right. Yeah, lead wasn't right. Lead wasn't right. Bring up the tail, pot. Yeah. Then I said, well, it may have made a different. He is about 125 out there. I said, nope, don't make no difference.

If the leaves right, you kill him at 150. Yeah, there you go. If you're going to kill it. If not, you're wrong. And the word to size, shoot your shot. Yeah, that's all it is to it. Open bore, baby. With high velocity floors.

He liked Mike Kellett when we used to play church league basketball. That's a black hole, so it goes in there. It's going to get shot. That's all there is to it. You give him the rock. It's going to get shot. We did get an email asking who the best shot in the duck call room was, and I figured that wasn't even worth trying to answer.

Oh, no, we can answer that. Yeah, there's not up for debate. No, no, the honest answer to that is. The honest answer is. The honest answer. Here it comes. No, no. The best shot in our duck blind, okay, is Phil Robertson.

Well, they said in this room. Uh-oh. In this room? Oh, yeah. Well, that ain't one person. Ain't one person here. She's good, there, J.D. Thank you.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. No, not you. My bad. My bad. Martin raising his hand like it was in. No, that's why I just was like. No, I just put it this way.

According to Phil Robertson and Jason Robertson, I've never killed a duck in my life. And according to Cy Robertson, none of the rest of us have ever killed one of it. That's right. And according to it, and this is 95% true, if I didn't go with them, these boys wouldn't ever kill nothing. That was the story. Look, during the teal season, we had 11 till come in. We killed them all.

Well, Phil said I went three for three on that. And Cy said, I don't know, but there's six ducks laying in front of me. I know I killed two of them. Stone killed two of them. Now we're above the number. Jace says he killed three on the way out. What was the guy in politics that used to say? There's some things you just cannot know.

Some things are unknowable. There's things that you can know and then there's things that you are unknown. I know. Well, I have one of them deals when you got to look at, I'm going to talk common sense to you here. Okay. You got five people in the blind. Phil, Jace, Stone,

Gobbin, and Meek. Okay. Phil Robertson is shooting a modified most of the time. Jason Stone, both of them shoot, extra full chokes. Guywlin, you shoot a modified most of the time.

I'm shooting an open bore, which has got a barn door pattern. All of it. So when 11 ducks come in at 15 yards, and I shoot three smooth times about a foot apart, guess who killed them 11 ducks?

I know. That's what Phil. Hey, the mathematics of chokes will back me up on this. There's some confused people listening right now. You're going to want to Google shotgun chokes. I know. Phil says, well, Sa, what about them boys sitting beside you? He said, that's what I'm talking about.

If I didn't show up, we wouldn't kill nothing. Mm-hmm. I just, we went from a podcast to a late night radio show real quick, all from side doing this. He's had in all the science of the chokes. He went into his Valentine's Day voice. This is backed up by math. Oh, Lord, have mercy. You know what else is backed up by math?

Our next break, let's take it right now. That's right. A goblin? Yes, sir. We're just coming off of Valentine's Day. What did you get Ms. Paula? Nothing. No. That's quick.

Hey, you don't do that. You get something. You have to get something. I got her some flowers and a little bit of chocolate. Okay. Can't tell you the rest. Oh. That's PG.

Family show. I like it. How long y'all been married? Went to the 34 years. 34 years of research and development. Working for the conference. Oh, it's coming up on 30. It's working for you.

It is. This would be the Godwin XL part of the show. Oh, I like it. Maybe a double X, but that's fine. That'll be a double. Double it. Me too. Well, I just say this, Gawin, you out kicked your coverage.

I guarantee. So did you. And so did I. I did. So did Allison. Oh, my bad. No. Here we go.

Okay. I don't know about that on mine. That's mean. Yeah. You know what my wife's into lately? Uh-oh. She ain't meat. Well, she's a little mean.

She just cooks bread every day. I went on a diet and I can't do it because there's three lobes of bread at my house every day. Fresh baked. Yeah. No less. Sour dough. Sourdough. Sourdough.

She's become like a. Well, bring one of them up here. I will. Well, you're going to share the wealth, J.D. It's all she does, though. She just cooks bread and bread and bread and bread. You bring the honey. I'll bring the bread, bread, bread.

Bring here, here, here. I forgot you're eating again. Great, son. My brain, break bread? Yeah. It's almost, my wife has just become Susie breadmaker. And she's good looking, so, yeah, I'll kick my coverage, too. Allison will be off at, though.

Give her a couple of months. She's going to be on the next thing. Whatever the next thing. Yeah, I mean, she went, she was Pioneer woman there for a little bit. She went through every page of that cookbook in about three months. I love Ms. Kay, but that pioneer lady, I ate that lasagna last. week? Good back you, aren't yourself.

This is just the food episode. Yeah, I'm leaving. I'm going to get lunch or something. All right, let's go eat. But no, it's after duck season and it's Valentine's season. It's like sweet season because you know what I saw at the store last night? Just candy.

A big chocolate rabbit? No. Those were there. A pink chocolate shape. You got to have a solid one. So a pink out of freezer and freezing. Just just as memorable as those Christmas tree cakes are?

No. Uh-oh. That Reesey eggs. That egg. He's fired. The Easter egg. Yeah. I'm taking to go buy one.

I'm telling you right. Because they finally, where Recy screws up the rest of the year, and y'all can back me up or I don't care. I know I'm right on this one. Is the peanut butter chocolate ratio is off on a Reesey cup. Well, it's just on that egg, he's perfect. I think they have hearts too right now. Oh, yeah.

They look like a rear end. Yeah. It's kind of a funny thing. What is? Now I'm uncomfortable. The Recy Heart, they look like a rear end for the Valentine's Day one. But them eggs. I think I have some of those at the house.

Yeah. I've been trying not to eat candy because I eat 700 carbs of bread every day. But a Recy egg, have you had him yet, Si? Oh, we'll get them next week. No worry about it. We changed your life with a Christmas tree cake. Next week featuring Reese's eggs and just loaves of bread. And a gallon of olive oil to dip it in.

And welcome to Duck Hall. Dyerdough? Critics. Yeah. Cooking critics. It's weird. It's like more work than our children. She has to feed it every night.

I'm sorry. You feed the bread? Yeah, you got to do stuff. She's like a full-time job. No, I'm out on that. It's wild. But I got to thinking of it because for Valentine's, I think I'm going to cut my hair. Oh.

Maybe. There you go. I haven't decided. You mean a real haircut? Not a real haircut. Like, you're going to have to wash it. You're going to trim your beard a little, but I think I'm just going to go grab the meat shears. No, Jay, I'll cut it for you.

I've cut my own hair. I'll cut it for you. Jay, D. Don't cut your hair. Just let it go. I wouldn't be able to take it, so. But I can do the short Willie hair. No, no.

You don't want to look like Willie. I know I don't want to look like Willie. You don't cut your hair. Somewhere between. You want to look like him. No, he don't want to look like him. No. Can confirm.

One thing you won't do is look in the mirror and look like I am. Oh, Lord, mercy. But that's my Valentine's plan, is to maybe cut my hair. When did y'all turn it into chef, chef critics on Reese's cups and all this different food we're talking about. Oh, that ain't a chef critic. That's just a fat boy son. Don't worry about that.

He's there ain't got nothing to do with a chef. It's just fat boys talking. So you're new to the fat boy game and welcome to the club. But we've all been around for years. You stay with us. We'll pop that button smooth off there, son. That's right. Run by Academy.

It ain't out far to go. Yeah, I guarantee. We'll get you some of them stretchy pants. That way you can wear them from a 36 to a 40. Those are a bandex, baby. No, they're jeans that stretch. Yeah, they just stretch. It is the greatest invention.

If spandex is what it is. Well, sure. But they look like jeans. I guarantee. They're Levi's. Yeah, that's fine. That's all good. I really like them.

Oh, this is what happens. So in case you all are wondering what it's like the duck hunt with us, these are pretty much the same conversations we have in the duck blind. So now the season's over, we just bring pointless conversation into here. Oh, no, no. Here's the one that's going, you know, yesterday was beautiful. It was. Because my wife said, hey, look, you need to go out and get some sunlight on you.

You go out there. It's really nice out and all. So I go out there. And the next time I'm doing it, I'm fixing to call Stone and say, hey, let's go to the lake. Okay, because the crop are bound to be biting. They are. Got to me. Then, hey, I woke up this morning and I'm freezing my rear end off.

Oh, yeah. Stupid. You're going to be ice fishing by the end of the weekend. No, I'm not going to be. I don't try that one time. Yeah, don't do that. That one scratched off my bucket list, okay? Done it.

It won't do it again. Was it cold? Was it cold? It was 20 below. And what are you sitting on? Ice. Uh-uh. And what do you do?

And what are you doing? And what are you doing? No, you don't build a fire. Air on ice. It'll melt. That's what I'm talking about. All them boys with them houses up there and eating. Oh, they like drive the truck on it.

Oh, yeah. I don't even walk on it. I ain't doing it. Too big. We already know gobbling and cold water. They don't j-hole. If I went out there, I'd look like the Michelin Man. The Mitchelan Man.

What's the noise he makes fun? Ah! Yeah, that's what. The Missile Man? It ain't. They say, oh, we drive trucks, it's safe. I said, yeah, I see all that on knees where they're dragging trucks out of there all the time. They say they drive trucks, and you get out there.

There's one bad spot, you know. But then you get out there and you ask them, say, what are we fishing over? Well, that's an old truck that fell through right there, and then fish get on top of it just time of year. And you're like, oh, okay, I got you. Okay, all right, we're just fishing a new reef. Somebody's truck from last year. Man made. Yeah, we out here at the Toyota Reef, you know.

Man, it's crazy. I just, there's a lot better things to do when it's 20 below than fish. I mean, but those people choose to live up there. That's crazy. I don't know how people ever even settled there. Like at one point, some guy looked up and was like, this will do. Yeah. This spot right here, and he named it Minneapolis, and he froze to death.

What are you eating? He just ate a limit. I mean, just dough pop that thing. He is just eating. And his eyes didn't even close. He is back, boys. For those of you not watching, I just ate a lemon like you would eat a Hershey's kiss.

All right. Look, and that's been soaking in my tea all night long. All night? All night in the fridge. Do you want some more ice? No, I'm good. He just wants for it, Pete. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know what just happened, but we're off track again. Let me have off track. We ain't never off track. You got to be on one to get off of it. Cy is the track. I'm like, hey, I ain't never lost. At what?

I just don't know where I am. I just don't know where I'm. Oh, you never lost. But I'm never lost. Yeah. I'm always here, but I ain't ever lost. How are you going? Have you ever been lost?

This lemon is delicious, by the way. Real talk. Have you ever been lost? Oh, yeah. You have? Yeah. Well, good. Let's talk about that when we get back from this next break.

Do you want me to go get you ice during the break? Run it back, boys. Yep. This is a real break. I'll be back. It's to the rind down there. Or just start. It's down to the,

Why? Stunning. All right, he's back on the tea. Stunner. All right, boy. I figured I should at least get you some tea since I didn't make sure you took your medicine because all I did was ask you. Oh, he won't tell you.

That's back when Sye was a lie. No. Those days are behind him. He's not a liar anymore. You take your medicine today? Yeah. You better be down front next time you go to church. That's all I'm saying.

Yeah, that's right. So, Cy, you've been lost, like, legitimately lost. They didn't know where you was. Oh, yeah. woods well what happened you just said you've never been lost well I picked the direction and unfortunately it was the wrong way because I walked about 20 miles what I call west which way was it and then I hate then I finally come out on the highway and some dude stopped and I said I got turned around he said well where did you come

in at and I told him he said said, oh, did you ever get turned around? He said, you've walked about 25 miles, son. I said, oh, I knew I was turning around. I said, because it all looked the same. And I said, hey, when you lost and you don't want, hey, you pick a direct and you go with it, you don't stop. So you hit, you know, until you hit something and say, okay, here we go.

Is that true? But that wasn't bad. Just 25 miles. When you get lost. That's just a day. Just a whole day. I can't walk no 25 miles of it When you get lost, you're just supposed to keep furthering into the loss.

This was when I was young, J.D. Yeah. The fact that he found a road to miracle probably. Yeah. Back in. Well, if it would have been real big woods without roads, I would have been in serious trouble. Yeah, these days you can't walk.

It may have been about 50 then. Yeah, these days you can't walk 25 miles without hitting a road. I know. That was back in the 1900s. Way back in the 1900s. I guarantee you. I was alive in the 1900. Yeah, I was too.

I know. Ain't that something? That's something to think about. There's going to be people saying that. Back in the 1900s, we're like, that's when we was born. You're old. I guarantee you. But, man, who knows?

It's life without duck season as always. It takes them getting used to. You're back for some of us. You're back at the office every day, which, you know, three of us in this room know that feeling. The man holding his finger. right now he yeah but there are good things coming our way is it because when the weather gets warm the fish start biting okay they're biting now so then okay we switch from duck cunning

to crappy catching how'd that last one go yeah yeah boy oh get in here you rascal get on in here you big fillet you big fillet boy and then and then And the good part starts, hey, filet them bad boys up, salt and pepper them, put mustard all over them, throw them in a bunch of flour, roll them around a little bit, and throw them in some hot grease, and then just pig out. Instead of the beef sweats, you get the fish sweats. That's right, then you get the fish sweats. Yeah, you got to water them things.

You've got to water that peanut oil, don't you? I can't wait. Guarantee. I can't wait. It is that time. Yeah. It is that time. It's coming quickly, boys.

That's a cool thing. When you grow up and you love the outdoors and all that like we all do, you just move from one season to the next. There ain't really an off season. You just kind of, you know, you go from duck hunting to fishing. And then if you want to drive yourself really crazy, you go turkey hunting in Louisiana because we got about seven long beards in this whole state. And that's about it.

And, you know, good luck being one of the 2,000 people that chased the seven. You may see one. Yeah. You may see a track if you get lucky. but then after you go you can fish all summer long it's just your target changes like you start on them crappies and then you get on them chinky pans and then blue gills you run them a while then you move back to them crappies and then you can get on them big old ops on the river and then next thing you know them little blue wings and the doves are showing up again and you've done completed a trip around the sun you know martin left out the bass though Martin kind of been a bass

No, no. Well, them bass fishermen, you start talking about them bass, then they see me cut the sides off of them. They don't care too much for that because they're looking at that saying, dang, that's a $20 bill going right there. But them little old pound and a half, two pound bass eat fine. And don't let anybody tell you that a spotted bass is bad eating because I'm here to tell you he good. Them little old spotted bass out that Wachita River is behind.

Hey, they ain't got much flavor. You got to doctor it up a little bit. Yeah, but it's something to do. Oh, hey, they're edible. It's my best weight loss program because when I go fishing, I don't even think about eating. I just, I drink water and that's it. Then I get home, I'm like, dang, I ain't eating nothing all day, you know. So let's cut the sides off these things and get to eat them, you know.

That's why we don't fish together because I bring snacks. Yeah, yeah, you too. I'm very much into snacks. You too. I got snacked. I got one of them big multi-variety pack of chips in my rod box. I'd have never guessed it. Oh, yeah.

Do you? What kind? What kind? Sun chips? Now I understand why you're on that Cheeto bag. No, no. Now I understand why John don't catch many fish. Too much crinkling?

Don't catch many fish. Too much crackling. Now you offended it. Too much crackling. He catches plenty of fish. Yeah. No, no. Oh, God would leave him a trail back home.

Just follow the Cheeto rack. That's right. That's right. Where did you fish in the day? Oh, Honeybun, Cheeto. he's up here boys he's up this creek right here we all we're trailing godwin now boys

he's right there somewhere yeah oh lord the signs are easy to follow he leaves chito bag he ain't gone you're gonna where he goes well you gotta keep your strength up I guarantee you

oh then professional fishermen run off a red bull the whole time they got like 17 of them in their deal all them boys they'd stop and eat something ain't tell them what they'd kick yeah ain't no Well, that's the true. But don't you ever, ever, ever getting their boat with a banana?

Them boys are superstitious. I don't know what it is about bananas and boats, but there's some kind of bad luck. It may be something on the internet about that. I don't know. Yeah, what is that? Something about if you step on a banana and a boat. Professional fisherman's boat with a banana, you're out.

He's going to tell you, he's going to politely ask you to get out. The next thing you're going to hear is that 250 headed the other direction from you. He ain't got time. We've got something against a banana, huh? All of them do. It's true. See? Never bring a banana or a suitcase, avoid a fishing boat.

A suitcase. I don't, I report you decide. A suitcase. Huh. I'm reading one. Boats carrying bananas don't catch fish from something back in the day of Caribbean trade of bananas. You can't catch fish if there's banana on the boat, boys. You know what I bring?

Gas station fried chicken. That's what I bring. I got a couple of ponds. I think I want to put that banana on a boat deal to the test. Oh, it don't work because I fished with Mike Valentine at Treeland Lake. And he had bananas. I said, good grief, you got a banana. And we caught a crap out of them.

So is it a mental thing you think? It's got to be. I've only been told when you go on fishing, if you see cows standing up, the fish are biting. But if they're sitting down, you just turn around and go home. Yeah, see, I've never understood. that. I don't, it's just what my dad does.

I know. What do a cow and a fish have in common? I don't know, but hey, apparently if they're standing up, they're hungry. If they're standing up, you go fishing.

If they're laying down, just what he said. Tony's picking up around and go back to the house because you ain't going to catch him. I don't, I don't agree with that. I don't,

we need to have, we need to have some meth buster. Well, a mid-busting fishing episode. That's right. Yeah. You go by and, hey, if the cows are

down you ain't going to get doodily squat i don't see but my dad always told me that as a kid we'd be going to fish in them we passed the same field full of cows every time and there were zebras in it too on the way to canny lake oh zebras the zebras and he'd look over and how up cows are sitting down i ain't going and then he'd just keep going well if you believe this what are we going where are we going well they're going get up eventually go catch peace i mean i get really that's what i'm time. See, I would feel better if you drove by them and they were laying down because I know at some point they're going to get up.

I guess that's true. Now, you pass them and they already up. We missed it. That's right. When we get there, they'll be laid down time you get there. That's exactly right. See, I'd feel better if you passed them and they was already laying down. That would make me feel good.

I don't believe it. And then you never catch one on the first cast either. That's bad luck. See, I go, I'm just the exact opposite on that. Yeah. As soon as you throw in and catch one, you face it. to burn them. Many times I've caught one on the first cast and never again. But you can't catch one on every cast if you don't catch one on the first cast.

And that's what I'm trying to do. I refuse to catch one on the first cast. I just throw it on the road. Reel it in. Oh, Lord. It's like the banana thing. I love superstitions, not you? Golly, they're fun. What's another superstitious? Oh, there's a bunch of them. Step on a crack, break your mama's back. That's not fishing. We're just talking about superstitions in general. I mean, what else you got? I bet Sigh's got more than one. He probably does. So, you got any? I can't speak of any right now like y'all talking about.

But I just know this. If the cows will land down, you might as well go on. He's still there, boy. He's getting off of that one. Hey, he's still there. What's the deal with the black cat? We was driving going to Johanna's the other day. And a black cat running across the road, Paul said,

oh, he's got a white spot on his foot. We're safe. Well, that was a black panther. Oh, yeah, black panther. It was a baby black panther. But it had a white spot on his foot. So he was safe. What's the black cat?

What's the white spot on the foot about? I guess that means he's not all black. I guess he's got to be jet black to be bad luck or something. Something about a black cat crossing the road. What is that bad luck or something? I guess it's when you say, oh, oh, there's a pintel pony. You know, got paint on him. A pintel pony.

Yeah, a pintel pony. What is a pintel pines? He's got paint on him. Look, he's white and black and whatever. you boys brought up a white spot on a cat we're doing right we don't got to talk we did we have all done just fell off the track we finally made it off the tracks we fell off the track on it

let's see if we can't get back on it right after this break well we're going to use the fans to help us get back on track this is the part that we we love we look forward to look we appreciate all you all taking the time to send us emails to hello at duck callroom.com. That's hello at duck callroom.com. If you have some interesting thought, if you want to wish sigh well, would say, look, the amount of emails in our inbox saying they were praying for you

and thinking of you on the COVID deal is unbelievable. Our fans love you. Why would you say? Well, I appreciate everybody that said a prayer for me. Amen. Now, they love you. Some of them not a big fan of John David. I don't really know why.

There's this one guy. There's one guy. Hey, no, it's all right. I got a Bible verse just for him. Hators all around, son. Haters all around. Hey, it's, they, they think, they, they believe everything size says is 100% truthful. It's only 95% for 10%.

So when I ask about the 5%, they really get upset. And some people are upset that I wear shorts. That ain't changing, boys. Yeah. Well, I mean, hey, it is what it is. But what do we have, what do we have coming in from the duck call room hotline? So are, are the duck. Are the duck, hello at duck callroom.com has become quite an enigma of three things.

Si, they got to tell him, sigh how much they love him, hope he gets better. They have to tell Cy that they have seen a Black Panther. And unfortunately, vasectomy stories are really getting a whole lot of uncomfortable stories about that. Let's not talk about it. We're not talking about that today. But, Cy, somebody sent you a gift. Hold on. Hold on.

Whoops. Somebody sent me a gift. Yes, we had a gift just for Si. It is a T-shirt with a Black Panther. Hey, I love it. And it says, I do exist. I love it. Hey.

Now that's what, hey. Hold it in front of you. Hey. That's from our listener, Lisa Ainsworth. There you go. I will wear this with honor. We shout. Johnny D.

And show it to all these people. Oh, there it is. Look at it. Oh, you look good. For those of you just listening, it's a good-looking shirt. Oh, it's a black pan. We'll have to get you to wear it and put it on our social media. That bad boy right there.

That bad boy right there is bad to the bone. See, that's my question. How does that t-shirt exist if black panthers don't exist? That's a picture of a black panther. Hey, that's a good point, Dave. Because that's not just a picture of a cat put in black and white. That would never happen, right? That's a black panther.

Oh, yeah. Hey, I've got a little bitty one at the house. He ain't little. I saw Sweet peep. Well, hey, sweet pee, I got one at the house. Sweet pea is the size of a bag of corn. Yeah, he sure is. Hey, I'll tell you what.

He barely will fit in the carrier. He come over and laid down on my foot. Lisa, I love the t-shirt, babe. He loves the t-shirt. I hope to get you wearing it. We're going to hopefully take a picture. Oh, I will wear it next time I'm in there. And we're going to put that on Instagram.

I'm on Facebook. and we're going to show the world. I'm going to display him proudly. All right. What else you got, Sean? So one of my favorite comments from last episode that aired or beats me. Me and you weren't here. People asked, is side driving everyone at the hospital crazy with a bell.

Did you have a bell in the hospital? No, but I did have that little thing that they got that took to the bed. Oh, the call button. The call button. Them nurses don't pay any attention to that thing. You mashed it more than once, didn't you. What was you asking them for? I just wanted some company for crying out loud.

They ain't coming in there. Okay, and they ain't coming. I guess my reputation preceded me, boys. I would hit the call. I would hit the call button and it would be, I'd hit it again. Radio silent. Yeah, and it'd be. Okay, I guess this is.

They saw that episode. On Radio Silence Out. You had a bell and you wouldn't stop hitting it. Oh, yeah. We need a bell in here. That's my favorite... That's my favorite... Look, that's my favorite episode in Duck Dynasty.

We're getting a bell. Because as... Hey, look, the best thing was, no, look, a fan... Had cut a board, what, a 1 by 12, I think? Sure. Satted it down, varnished it, and then put about 10, maybe 12. I think it was 12. bells on it.

12 one inch bells. No one, no. These were different size. Look, and I called them my bongo bells. Look, and I was getting very good musically on these stanks. Very good, strong. Very good.

Okay. And I come home one afternoon and I looked all around my reclinder and my bongo bells are gone. And I'm saying, baby, she's what? I said, where are my bongo bells? I need to work out. She said, oh, no, you're not working out. I threw them in the garbage, and the garbage truck men have done picked it up, and they're gone.

And I said, you're kidding me. Tell me you're kidding me. She said, oh, I'm not kidding you. You are driving me insane with them stupid bells. Oh, Lord. I told me she was mean. Oh, yeah. That ain't mean.

That's self-preservation. Oh, no, no, no, no. That's mean. I'm getting a bell. I was enjoying them bells immensely. Oh. And she took the only good time I was having a wait. The only good time Cy Robertson was having in 2013 when he was the most famous man in America was his bongo bells.

Bongo Bills. I'm still waiting on the one. I know the one story. My man. I don't know his name. I know his mom's name is Susan. Yeah, that's good. His mom is named Susan?

I've got a story. So Miss Susan, she says she's a single mom and she appreciates you, you guys. for just being a good role model for his sons. He's a 15-year-old kid. He's really got into duck hunting. All right. Oh, hey, that'll keep him out a lot of trouble. So he's duck hunting.

Well, he gets exposed and he can't go to school to the coronavirus. So he's sitting at home, but he's having to go to Zoom classes online. Well, he's a duck hunter now, boys. He's done got his duck call out, and he's practicing in his room during school because he's got his computer on mute. He forgot to mute it. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. So science classes going on.

and this kid's just... Gag-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c... So he's just practicing. Come on. Cut them, boys! I don't know if they said that. But, so then the teacher gets upset. He's disrupting class.

Hey, don't blow the duck calling class, aka, make sure you have mute on. So, teacher gets on to him and apparently sends him to the principal's office. I don't know if there's a Zoom principal's office. Where's that at? I don't know. He's back home?

He's at home, but he's got to talk to the principal. And you send me to the principal. Awesome. I don't know how it works. 2020's weird. Well, hold on. It gets better. Oh.

So the kid now, he's talking to the principal about why he wasn't paying attention. He had a duck call in class. I got good news. Principle's a duck on her voice. Uh-oh. Off the hook. Principal says, and I quote, more of an art form, and we should encourage art in any situation. Boys off the hook.

Don't do it again. So Susan, keep raising a man who will blow a duck call in class. thank goodness for good principals. I was just saying, hey, this is one, this is one that the whole country

salute you, Mr. Principal. We salute you, Mr. Principal. We salute you, okay? Not only for Duckland,

but for having some commas tense for God out loud. Was that the old beer commercial? We salute you. Real man of genius. That principle, Mr. Duck Hall blowing principle.

Maybe. Oh, that's fantastic. He's got common sense. He's got common. That's, and we're lacking. Hey, that's, yeah. Common sense these days. I mean, a rare.

Rare. Yeah, rare things nowadays. Not a rear thing. And our Bible verse actually goes along if we're ready for that. Look, I think we are. Let's just make sure, look, if you want to send us more of your awesome stories, you bunch of sci-kit cool people. Sci-kit cool people.

Or T-shirts, or Mr. T's bloody Merry Mix, or Christmas Tree K, Reseese eggs. Eads. What was the team? Okay. Focus, focus. Here we are.

I'm focused, boy. If you want to reach out to us, hello, H-E-L-L-O at duckcallroom.com, send it to us. Give us something enlightening or inspiring, and you could be featured on next week. Or put it in the comments on YouTube. Or somewhere else. Facebook, we have an Instagram. Facebook, Instagram, all that kind of stuff. We see it, we look at it, and we appreciate it.

and we're going to send this out John Deed, so I gave you the verse. He gave me the verse. You know, there's been... That's right. Hey, look, give us something uplifting from the almighty to send us out. Oh, no, this isn't uplifting. Well, it is.

It's uplifting. And we were just talking about common sense. So Proverbs 18, 6, the lips of fools bring them strife and their mouths invite a beating. The mouths of fools are their undoing and their lips are a snare to their very

lives. Hey, if you're going to be a fool, keep your mouth shut. Silence is golden. Guaranteed. According to Proverbs, silence is golden, boys. I just always remember to go along with that what a coach in high school told me. He said, if you'll keep your mouth shut, nobody knows how stupid you are. Amen. And I was like, noted.

So that's why, you know, Dr. Honesty. I drop about one line at a time, boys. All right, I'm out. All right, that is Jesus. Yeah. And with that, hey. Let's go home. I'll leave you with that.

They do exist. I do exist. Well, you sure, for sure. For the Black Panther. Wow. We're out. I can't wait for next thing. Okay, boy.
