Yeah, that stuff's wild. Martin, can you see through walls? I can't see through walls, but I feel something.

I was waiting for some profound. Nope, that's it. We're going somewhere. No, we're not. I was waiting for the punchline. That's how I feel today. Well, you know what you need to do tonight, Philip? Tell me.

If you get bored and you need to be entertained on your 55th birthday. Hot tub with a cigar? No. Whoa. You need to. Unlock your phone and get on Instagram. Nope, not Instagram. Oh, it's on Instagram.

I know, but there's another thing that's happened to it. Wait, what is this? You've seen it. Have the people seen it? I don't think so. No, nobody knows. I get on my phone, my Facebook's not public, right? Yeah.

I get on my phone the other day and I have a notification. And I screenshot it because it just didn't make any sense to me. It said, you have a new friend suggestion on Facebook. Look who joined the world. Social media. Jay Stunt. And I was like, you know what I said? He'd been hacked.

Somebody, some guy in a cave somewhere with, that talks funny called Jay and Jay was rude to him. And so now he said, all right, big dog, I'm going to impersonate you on Facebook. And so then I clicked it. No, it's Jay. Nope, that's the real deal. No, that's stoned. 100%. Husband father, duck man.

He was in my office for 20 minutes this morning because he couldn't figure. out some things on it. And I was like, man, I love when old people get social media. Oh, yeah. And then he also joined The Graham. Yeah, he's on Instagram. That's where I saw him the first time. Instagram. Old Duckman underscore Stone, y'all go give him a follow. I'm sure it'd be some riveting and lightning. I really think he's just doing it to make fun all of Willie's kids. Well, he, the duck boys have definitely been the focus of his first few posts. that and siding deer hunting so yeah there it is there you go nutman stone there it is hey and let me say good follow we're averaging more than a post today oh yeah he's on that

bag now he come in there asking me for a strategy i said i don't know when something cool happens i boast about it look he even got reeves walker out there doing something yeah oh yeah well he got the buck boys the problem is you notice ain't none of them got the right last name well i guess they do they all the wrong. Yeah, you're right, because they're all working. Yeah. Yeah, they're doing stuff. Uh-oh. I see what you doing. That was a hold the mayo and hold the mustard. Hey, they're draining water, boys.

Yeah, they're getting rid of water. Look at him putting together a reel. Look at old stone. Oh, putting together reels. So in the past month, he has been, since I've known Stone, I've been, he's been anti-social media. He's now got social media. And he talks about not watching football. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Are you going there? But there's a YouTube. watching ball playing years ago.

But there's a YouTube video that may or may not be on the Duck Commander deal where him and Sire are watching football. So Stone is time to fess up when you get back in here, son. Instagram. It's time to come clean. Football. It's time to come clean, son. It's time to come clean.

Side, do you remember watching football with Stone any time soon? I just watch his football. It's when y'all were down at Honeybreak. Oh. Oh. I was sitting there watching football. I didn't know it because I didn't roll into all you clowns were snowing. And Cy ain't no snitch.

Well, Stone ain't going to tell Si what he can and can't watch. Stone's just going to leave what's on the TV. But if you're that hard against it, you think you just go over and not watching. I'll be sitting there with him. Oh, yeah, he'll not Graham. Watching a football. He's going to be in my garage jumprope and soon, big sissy. I think what we got here with Stone is what you call an M-L-C.

Oh, what is that? You think so? Mid-life crisis. Mid-life crisis. I don't think so. Also, I'm afraid of him. He's not here. Oh, but, yeah, but somebody might tell him.

I posted a video of me hitting a punching bag the other day because I needed to blow off some steam. And I was like, I wonder if this looks cool. And I video it. And I was like, kind of does look cool. I'm going to post it. And then everybody said, yeah, you should go hit the matchless stone. I'm like, y'all lost your mind. Yeah, what about me punching a puncher?

I'm letting go with steam. I don't want to go on purchase. I don't want to get hit back. He ain't going to hit you. He's just going to... He choke you. And then you're on the... Have you ever seen when he got a hold to me?

Well, no, but me and Si went and watched when he was becoming a what, blue belt maybe? A hurt you belt? I don't care what... Oh, it was like two hours of just brutal fighting. It was rough. He told me one time he said, stand up. I said, yes, sir. And then he said, now reach for me, and I said, yes.

And I was on the ground. Yeah. Just like that. Yeah, he has shown... showing me a few moves. But that's all right. Because now we get to make fun of him because he's on the gram. I'm making fun.

I'm glad he's on the ground. Oh, I'm making fun of it. I actually think he might be one of the more interesting follows in the world. He'll be good if he'll do it right. Because he has full access to Uncle Siah behind the scenes. It did make me laugh when I saw it. It come up as a suggested on my deal and I said, oh my goodness. gracious. Here we are. Yes. He said, well, Bullfrog needed something to do. I said, are you paying her?

He's like, well, no, she lives with me. I thought, well, yeah, she's your kid. Of course she lives with you. I like it, though. I think social media can be a great thing. It can be whatever you want it to be. It can be a terrible thing, but I think in the hands of stone, oh yeah. We just got another at least 50 episodes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we, now we just to get to get stone. to give us a recap of his social media. What was this? Yeah, what was this about? I'm not great at social media.

No. That's not true. No. No, you did the buy Felicia, which is the single greatest moment. I did do that. And you love a little disco man. Cy's page is so hard to be involved with. I don't run it.

Duck Commander runs it, but I'll put some things on there that Sia wants me to put on there from time to time. but with 4.8 million followers, it is unbelievable the stuff that goes on his page. Oh, ain't no doubt. That's what happened. Cy posted a picture of that. But now you can't. And Felicia said, I can't believe you'd kill such a majestic creature.

Buy Felicia. I'm unfollowing and Phil hit her with the bye Felicia. I mean, one of the top moments in social media is, when Mark Zuckerberg sat around and thought that page up, that's what he was hoping for. Yeah, he was hoping for moments. It was funny. Yeah. So there you go.

Every once in a while, I'll hit a good one, Mark. Inside, does that make you want to start doing your own? And here comes the best. My eyes. 4.8 million people follow what you say on Facebook. Yeah, what you want to say? Let's add something right now. Yeah.

Philip can type it up. Hey, I'll tell you this. We finally have got a president. Oh, oh, oh, oh. No, no. This is old people in social media. This is what I love. Hey, here's the deal.

You want to go live on his Facebook page? Hey, he was groomed for this position. Oh, we had a groomer. Okay, because, hey, Trump right now is having the time of his life. You'd really fit in at the Honeyhole round table, by the way. I'm just letting you know. I'm serious. I'm with you.

You wouldn't sit in at this cut in anymore. I watch you, man. when, hey, you know, the man is, hey, he's where he's supposed to be. Running this United States of America. Hey, well, sometimes when you- The Canadians nodding her head. That's all I'm going to say. Canadians's in the corner, Beth is going.

Sometimes the right people get in the right place. Of course, the opposite's also true to that. But, you know, I mean, he seems to be thriving. It is funny. I mean, like, I look at all those posts and the shares. My favorite, though, one of my favorite things is, everything's his fault to some people or everything's what he did to other people. Well, here's what's so funny about the whole thing, though.

Most people sit and run their mouth about, well, if I was in, I would do this or this and this. Mm-hmm. Well, see, he ain't, hey, when he got in there, hey, it was bam, bam, bam, bam. Yeah, he said, hold my smelling salt. Yeah. Yeah. All right, look, springtime is here.

It's warming up. you know what that means? That means more outside cook and y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what, because of our friends over at Tritels Beef, makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend,

Sao Robertson would say, buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef come from. But with Tritale's beef, we

skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'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 Tritails 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.

Duck. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. So we want to welcome everybody from Uncle Sy's page to the duck car room. Are we really live? This is our first ever live broadcast. Oh, no. Just remember that it's live,

Sa. What do you want to tell your 4.8 million followers right now? Anything good? We are live. This is the best time in America. Yeah, amen, buddy. Just keep turning it on. And like on mine, I got dish, so it's on Channel 205.

Oh, okay. Channel 205 on this. And keep up with what President Trump's doing right now. Oh, yeah, well, I. Look, he's got the whole world shook up. boys. Thank you. And hey,

and this is just the beginning. Okay. I don't want to be here. He was playing in the beginning, but as I said, the mood all changed. Oh, I love it.

Phillip, live mics make me nervous. You turn that off. Live mics make me nervous. Yeah, he's live. Yeah. I'm looking at a red light flashing live, buddy.

I wanted you to tell everybody. Oh, he's live, y'all. Yeah, he's live. Tell him, hey, Cy. And he's got 300 people. And we want to let everybody know Oh, that's wild. Sye's alive and he's doing well, huh, Sye?

I always wondered how much lag there was. If you film the TV, will we open a portal into the unknown? I hope so. Si, is that possible? Do it. Do it. Film the TV. Put it on the TV. I need to know what happens.

No, if I'm still here. Deadgum it. Hi, Uncle Sye. Everybody's watching you. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, all right, guys. Bill, turn it off. Philip, get out of here, but. 293 people immediately joined.

We're at 300. 302. I'm ready for that video to say, Uncle Sa, oh, he's still on. He didn't turn it off. He didn't turn it off, boys. Three, two.

Bye, guys. We love you, Uncle Sy. Hey, Dolores. Speak it, he says. Bye, Felicia. We did smell it. You just broke the internet. That's right.

I just cut it off on that, maybe. Oh, that was a top moment in Duck Call Room history. Yeah, he was sitting there looking at it. I was looking at it, and you're like, he's not live. I'm like, oh, buddy. Buddy, he's live. I was trying to figure it out. He was trying to figure it out.

Yeah, that was fun. You know, we used to go live a lot when Sae would play music and sing, and everybody loved it. But then he got snuffed out. No, he just got busy doing other stuff. Well, live's kind of nervous, fracking. With 4.8 million people. Well, not if you're just singing and fellowshiping.

Having a good time. We just have a little good time. We cook some food and play music. I love it. I love that our Canadian friends in here. If Rucker was here, he'd represent Mexico. And just all the good fun that we've been having is North America. I stay very.

Channel 205 on dish. Did y'all see the Jaguars owner? I saw that. He rolled up in a, he didn't fly there. He went from Jacksonville to New Orleans in a boat. Yeah. With like two pools on it or something? Boat.

It got a pickleball court on the boat. There you can go. And parked it in the Mississippi River. He's like, you know what? Ain't that wild? Yeah. Yeah, when you spend the night out on the ocean. No, but he parked it in Mississippi River.

That's a boat money now. I mean, that thing is going to be so dirty on the bottom by the time he get out of Mississippi River. Hopefully he'll swing by Galveston on his way home. Galveston. Clean it up a little bit. Actually, I finally figured out why Beyonce won country album of the year. Galveston. Well, they felt bad for everybody trashed in Galveston for the past year.

And just wanted to give them a win. win. Sa, do you think it's all scripted? Oh. Ayah. Earth to sign. Oh. It makes you think that when you watch it, okay?

Some very convenient things happen. Because of the talent. Oh. Because of the how talented it's got, okay? It makes you think that. I wish we could figure out how to script duck huts. Yeah. Like if I just woke up and knew we was about to go smash.

or if I knew we weren't going to kill that, I stayed down. script duck hunts. I'm going to tell you all, Si could. Well, yeah, you can. You had to train the ducks, and then as soon as you train them, they're dead. Yeah. That'd be a lot of work. But Sae's not a gambler.

Si doesn't bet on sports or anything. No, he's not. I'm telling you, we went to the horse track with a bunch, a group of friends where Si had to take a picture with a horse. Excuse me, sir. I have played poker with Cy Robertson. Hold on. That's different.

No, sir. He will call. call for one car. You're talking about something different. I am a gambler. Yeah, I was about to say. I'll say never on sports. I've never seen you bet or gamble on anything on sports.

This is why I say that because when we went to the horse races and you said, I said, Si, which horse you want to bet? You said, uh-uh, I ain't wasted money. He doesn't bet on them ponies, y'all. But he said, here's $2. Go bet the biggest butt. The horse with the biggest butt. Go put the money on it.

He come in dead last. I said, Cy, you lose. He was like, yep, I'm done. Yeah, well, that's fine. See, that was fun, though, because he had a story to tell about the only time I've been to horse races, I bet on a horse as a Belmont steak over, I was there with Under Armour, back in the day when we were all working together on stuff. I've always wanted to go to a horse race. And I bet on a horse called Ten Bears.

Ten bears. Of course, you know why I did that. You had to go that. I had to. And I won a little bit of money on him, but not. I was like, that is the end of my horse betting career. Ten bears. I found a horse, yeah, named Ten Bears.

I found a horse named Bamboozled and lost. I don't think anybody in this room got a problem with you. I'm just letting our fans know if you are someone you love. Yeah. $400 gambler. A public service analysis. Sall always says it best. He said, look, if you can't take a $100 bill and light it on fire,

you don't need to be playing. You don't need to be sitting down at the table or poker table. Money means something to you. If you're going to take your wife out. You can't do that. And I put this in his book. If you take your wife out, you go into the movies, out to eat, you're going to spend $100. Oh, absolutely.

And you might want to take that money and do something else with it. What movie theater are y'all going to that it's only $100? Well, they go to the midday matinee because they ain't got much going on. Yeah. They on that 1 p.m. movie. I took my family out to the movies. You know, they got the lights on then. I had to get like a fifth job.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. No, that's fine, man. No, you're right, though. If you can't take it and set it on fire, you don't need to be messing with. Pretend it's a firework. Yeah. Boom,

that was cool. Now you ain't got no money and what you bought exploded. Yeah. There's nothing worse than watching somebody play poker that shouldn't be there. Oh, I disagree, sir.

Those are the most fun people. No, no, that. And to quote Johnny Dean. Because they have no chance of winning. I was with this guy in Las Vegas. Uh-oh, I want to hear this. We were with a friend who, make significantly more money than us.

He was... What were playing? Rulette. Yeah, playing roulette. They were playing. Me and Johnny D. were just there talking. I was watching. And Johnny D. looked at him and said,

you know what? Watching people who's got like a house note on the line gambles way more fun than watching you gamble. It was wild. He does well for himself. And he did well on the roulette well somehow. He walked away with more than me. Yeah.

He walked away with more money and he started there with. And me and Johnny D. sat there and watched him. It was like watching Drew Brees. I was just cheering. them on. Yeah. But your gut was a little bit sick thinking about all that money. Oh, no, I would have poop my pants. If that was my money,

I'd be like, well, let me go back to the grindstone for the next six months. These worms ain't going to sell themselves. We went down. I just wasted a year's salary. Yeah, nope. We went to the Golden Moose Awards in Vegas. Remember all that? I remember the moose.

And so when it was over, Cy went to play at the poker table. And he was, he sat down at the table with some really, really good players. And I walked by and looked at him. One of them had made the final table at the World Series of poker sitting right beside Sai. I was like, Cy, you're in over your head. And he was winning. Oh, yeah, I was winning. That's because they all play by a certain set of rules. Yeah. They don't know how to play with that. Hey, that guy. Hey, no, no, no. That's why that's, they have a hard time with me. Well, yeah, because everything you do defies logic and sense.

Break the mold, baby. It's actually genius. If you're sitting around with a bunch of people that do it and you know that that's how they're going to play. I was the easiest guy ever to be if you were willing to gamble because I'm going to play by the book. Now, if you want to gamble against me, I like my chance. In the long run, I'm going to come out ahead.

That's why I'm only here for a short period of time. But for a short-term victory, you could get me. Like, but I'm still going to be there to end of the night. But I play so tight that I never made any money playing poker. Like, I just, I'd be pretty much even. I like, every night, I would, I would be somewhere within $20 or where I started. Yeah, it's just wild, man, because I just, I worked too hard for that crap, man. I don't, I don't go in bad.

No, you don't lose. I don't go in bad. No, you do not. The price of eggs is too much to be burning money. Yeah, now they just play B. bingo over. So. That's why the pros,

they've got a, I don't even know how to say it. They're smarter than the rest of us. They're really good at math. They're that too, but they're playing, they're playing the numbers. Yeah.

They're good at math. Yeah. They're really good at math. Because they do stuff, okay, and like, they make, I've been watching them here lately. Uh-oh. Studying up.

They make... 201. They make calls that they should not make. In other words, they throw away money. For information? No, no, because that's the way they play. Okay. They bluff the pros.

They bluff so much that sometimes you look at them and say, why did he call that? That's because you can see the card. Well, no, no, but I'm serious, though. Poker easy when you can see the card. Hey, all of them play the same way. But not you. Because they make calls that they should not make.

Well, now that sounds like you. They know their beat, but they get bluff so much that they call. Yeah. No, that sounds exactly like you. And look, Si, if he didn't have to catch a plane that night, I mean, we had to get out of there, I think he could have broke the table because he was up. He had so many chips in front of him. I said, sigh, we got to get a plane.

Nope, nope, nope, nope. I said, sigh, no. The plane ain't going to wait. Look, I've played in Oklahoma, and I've never lost up there. Do you hear me, Oklahoma? Hey, I'm serious. I always win in Oklahoma. Tournaments, too.

Oklahoma? Hey, just so we're clear. Just so we're clear, you do pretty well for yourself here in Louisiana, well. That's true, too. You play a different kind of poker here, but the gamble's been pretty solid America's favorite uncle. Okay.

Let me have a deck of cards. Yo, I have one problem. If I will play to win, I win. But if I get where I'm having fun, I fix to lose all my money. Especially if Willie's at the table.

I'm having, I'm having too much fun. I'll fix it to lose it. Oh, yeah, Willie would go in bad. Oh, no. No, no, I enjoy playing. with Willie because me and Willie are going we're going to get it all

in. Nobody else at the table. No, no. Me and him are going to have all our money in the pot. Y'all have fun. We're all sad. Willie's like, hold on. And normally when I walk away, I'm going to have all the money in my pocket. Hey, the last time we played at

Willie's, the last time we played, there were some people there, I didn't know, very wealthy people. And I told Simon the way over there, I said, look, this is more money. This is more. money than I'm used to playing for. So you aren't going to catch me playing hardly any hands. I played like Martin.

I mean, if I didn't have a super hand, I didn't even call the blind. He played what we named, we named it Turkey Poker. The boy was behind the log, and when he played, he would come up with brass knuckles, hit you in the nose, and then go back down. That's a good description. That's a good description. Look, he cashed $3,800 that night. I cast $36.

The man's memory. memory is incredible. Oh, no, no. And the last hand of the night was the funniest because it was Willie and Si. And Willie had a bunch of IOUs that Cy was. Oh, no. Look, we had one of them yellow tablets, the long one.

Yellow one. And look, I had a stack. I mean, I stack. So look, the last hand, I pick up my cards. So I made the most money, really. I pick up my card and guess what? I got pocket sixes. I looked at Willie.

He watched him when he looks at his car. He's got something like Ace King or Ace Queen. I know that's what he's got. It's big, it's paint. You can see it in his face. Oh, no, I can see it when he does. So look, we have already, here's what has happened for the night. Corey had been in, in Walmart,

and they had Domino's on sale. So she had bought like 28 packets. packs of dominoes. Well, we had run out of chips. So look, we busted all 28 of them dominoes and we had, there was $100 a piece.

And me and Willie both, we probably had all, you know, 12 packs of dominoes and the chips. So look, I'm looking at y'all. Y'all, he's looking at his hand. I said, Willie's on you. What, you're going to open,

y'all? So look, he just grabbed. have a double handful of dominoes and said yeah i open for this y'all and i said you better be careful you're going to lose every bit before this hand's open you know so look by the end of the river okay we've got everything all our dominoes all their chips in the pot y'all could have got a disney world instead of this and i said okay well hey you made the bet and i call you we're all in y'all show me your cards I've called you

well he's sitting over rubbing his car which I know I got him beat I finally said I got a pair of sixes slide it all over here boys I hope you won enough to that. He turned the table upside down

and through Ace Queen down I said that's what I thought yeah there you go take that take that boys that's wild You boys wild. It is amazing how Sop can remember in detail all the hands.

Oh, his memory's crazy. That man, if it goes in that brain one time, now some distorted view of it may come out, but most of it's right. Well, hey, over the years. You've got to make it interested, boys. Spice it up a little bit. Oh, storytelling, baby.

Storytelling. One time I would like to actually go. That's a good work, Martin. And play against the pros. Yeah. You would break them. No, no, and I think I would win because, hey, I'm not going to fold when they make the big bet. Well, I know you enjoy it, but I just don't think losing 20 Gs is very fun.

That's how much you want to sit down with. You're going negative. He's saying if you buy into the big game is going to be a lot. I'm saying if you buy into the big. Oh, no, I'm just saying, as soon as you put it there, you've got to act like it ain't there. I just don't see why that's fun I don't have no problem with that Yeah I know

No either I don't have a problem with that Boy I do But you're 70 what 77 No I don't have any Yeah I'm 39 So I see why Like I get to 77

That probably ain't that big of a deal either So you give me a hundred and fifty million Go play I ain't ever gonna make it there If you get me a hundred fifty million dollars They're gonna be like Remember that kid that was on the duck call room ran that tackle shop? What happened to him?

Nobody knows He got boat money Got boat money I'm on the Mississippi River Suckers Yeah Yeah, I'm docked down here off of bourbon street. I ain't going there. I'm going somewhere nicer.

What would you do if you had $150 million right now? This very moment, what would you do, Sire? I'd play poker somewhere. This podcast would be over. I would be in a cash game of cash games, buddy. I'd go towed his luggage. Hey, I'll tell you. And hopefully I'd get a little tip money.

Don't count on it. Oh, I'd have his little... I'd have his little travel my pillow right here saying what you need, big dog. Martin, he can't hang. He only, he went with you that one time. I was like, Martin, sit beside side and take care of him, let me go back here and rest. I fell for it once. I rode up for the other way back.

He said, don't even think about it. Yeah. No, you can have that, son. I'd be sides of sister. I was willing to do anything. I can do anything. You still could be. Like, that's wild, man.

I could, I could go with Sigh. $150 million, what you get? Who, me? I don't know what I'm doing if I have $150 million. Would we know? Yeah. I would find out. Yeah.

You wouldn't know if I'd know. No, I'm not doing anything illegal. Oh, y'all know. Y'all know if I did because I slide it to the people that I like and care about. I would probably. How much you need? Like, what gets you to zero? I'm just saying, what gets you to zero?

zero on the books, like, where you don't owe nobody, nothing. And I gave you that. Here you go. Let me know first. I go buy a few things. Well, that's fine. Yeah, if you get a sniff of it, go try it. I still bet you out.

I don't care. But, like, I'm just saying. That's the kind of stuff. I mean, because that's what. I do. I also, that's what I did with the first time we got induct dynasty money. I went and made sure I didn't know nobody, nothing. I was like, hey, pay that truck off.

Like, get that done. I ain't ever on a truck in my life. bank owned everyone. Oh, no. I ain't a big Dave Ramsey guy, but I agree. Yeah, no, you just get to where you don't owe nobody nothing. If you can help some of your friends out in that same predicament, that's cool, man. $150 million, though.

There'd be some new owner. That was one of the, that was one of the- We ain't going to work every day. That was one of the nice things about to show, because I gave it to some good, good charity. Yeah. I know you, you gave a lot of it to kids. The kids don't know it, and they never saw a check from Uncle Sy. But you gave it to children.

And he gave it to folks that served. And I gave it to the vets. Another part of that was, okay, is I got to go to a lot of charities and a lot of events. You got to see lives change, man. Well, no, no. And then I've seen people that have a lot of money. My favorite ones are the ones that want to prove they're the wealthiest one in the room.

Because, like, we're the entertainment at a lot of those things. Oh, no. So, like, even though we're the entertainment, we don't even make, like, the top 100 list of the people in there. Yeah. But we're there to shake hands and people think we're cool. And then I go there and try to identify

which one thinks he's the richest and make sure that we goad him into spending more of it. Well, who's got the biggest boat? Yeah. Maybe he won't ride on it one day. You know? But there's some people that

you talk about big hearts. Oh, yeah. And big bank accounts. Well, there's people. And they give it a lot. way. There's people that realize at the end of the day, there's a beautiful thing about life when you get to this point. Yeah. That you had nothing to do with that success. Yeah. It wasn't about you. It never was about you. It really never about you. It was never about you, which is why you've never,

I mean, how long we've been doing this? I ain't ever brought this up. Four hundred and nine. Nobody ever knew how much money that man gave way. I did kind of, because I saw some of the things. But like he didn't walk around bragging about I did this, I did that. You just looked at. I always told him where it came from. Yep. But that's the ones you got to watch. That's the ones you got to watch.

Those ones that tell you where it come from. Right. Like that's people you got to watch. The one thing is about to him. Because you know what you watch them do? Go broke. Every time. Well, I look at that.

Every time. Well, yeah, because their focus is wrong. Amen, buddy. There ain't no humility in them. Not none. Their focus is wrong. They thought it was them. It never was.

It was never you. Amen. Buddy. And I never told, I never told anybody that I've seen Sye put a million dollar checks in this front pocket and get on a plane. And I said, put that check up sign. He was like, I'd be all right. What if you lose it? They'll write me another one.

Imagine, you know, back in the day when that kind of stuff was happening. I was just, I was blown. away by everything that was going on. Well, they couldn't put it in them bridges. They were so tight. But my question to you is, what was the hardest thing about making that money and the fame that came along with it? What was the hardest?

You don't want to be rich and famous. You want to be rich. Yeah, but. Fame part sucks. Yeah. It wasn't hard because Al, Phil's oldest son, had called us to get. when the show went, you know, like it did. And he said, hey, since this has become such a big thing,

the evil ones going to come after us. He said, so, hey, look, everybody get ready, clear their head and keep a, you know, don't go off the reservation on us. Who are we? I tell everybody that. I get, like, after Doug Dynasty, I got. And look, I ain't, I wasn't on crumbs. were good, right?

Like, yeah. I lived a very good life on their crumbs. Thank you for that, by the way. Still am. I was just picking up their crumbs for them. It was awesome.

They and Phil were just walking around like, Sa, you forgot this crumb. Really? There you go. Hold on. But I realized in there, even in that,

I realize how these boys, like athletes and stuff like that, get screwed up. Because anything I wanted or desired at that time, Oh, no. Yeah. Was all an iPhone away.

I mean, name it. Like, legit, name it. What you want? What, what sinful desire you want? Mm-hmm. It'll show up here. Like, so I get it now where if you're not grounded in that stuff. Well, see, that's what was so good about it, okay?

Because, you know, God and his infinite wisdom. Didn't let you do that at 25? Didn't do that at 25. You have. Trust me. what I tell you. He really would be Uncle's side. Oh, no, no.

Because that, yeah. No, that thing wouldn't be TMZ. It'd be S-I-Z. Because I would have, I would have wasted it all. Oh, I get it. Didn't you have an uncle that made it pretty big? Oh, no. No, yeah.

Him and his brothers. Oh, in all. In all. Oh. They saved up like 10, you know, and this is working people, okay. They saved up like $10,000 in Wildcadded, and it blew the top of the Derek out, you know. they hit.

Well, it turned them in an instant millionaire. Now, you got to think about this. Poor country boys that hit it big and it turned them in a millionaire.

Didn't know what to do with it. Yeah, they spent a lot of money at the Honeyhole. Yeah. Didn't know what to do it. Look, it literally, it destroyed his life.

It ruined his family. Yeah. Divorce. Even without iPhone, all that stuff was accessible. Oh, No, no, just like what he said. Here he is, dirt pouring, and then, hey, bam, day happened.

It's crazy because all of a sudden. And, hey, and guess what? He went stupid. 318, 218, 25, 6559. Hey, what was that girl from Bucky that hate Buckees? Jennifer. Jennifer. Wasn't that her name?

Yep. I'm pretty sure. Her name was Gryph. Her name was Janessa. Genessa. No, it was Jenny. That's close enough. We probably screwed that up.

Yeah, she said she did. Her old rig aunt is also a former Marine. Told you she was tough. Oh. Old you. Oh, Phil. Yep. She admitted to being a little upset they left Texas,

but the quality's going down. Yeah. Well, yeah, because, I mean, look how many people's in that thing. How many chest you're going to cut off a cow and get all good ones? He's live again, boys. Sorry for not getting your name right, Janessa. Yeah, sorry, Janessa. How did we miss that?

Because it was a voicemail. Easy to do. All right, Hunter. What did she have said her name? Yeah, but also the transcript called her Jennifer. So I thought her name was Jennifer. Yeah, because I remember I asked because I thought she said Vanessa or something. Oh, you screw.

Oh, it was, uh, Janessa. It was Hunter's fault. Partly my fault. No. Partly Google call. We're going to blame Hunter. Yeah, that's good. Blame it all Google.

We're going to be real Robertsons here and blame Hunter. Yep. Hunter's fault. There you go. I take some blame. No, no, no, no. One person has to wear it all. Janessa, hate Hunter.

Yeah. Oh, shoot. All right, Hunter. Hey, everyone. Just wanted to give a call and ask you a quick question. So didn't know if y'all seen the show on Prime, the Beast Games. Didn't know if y'all noticed that the Duck Commander glasses are shining one of the guys. But he's in the contest.

He's a believer. So when you're watching it, if you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. Also, I'm calling out from Georgia. All right, thanks. I don't know. I saw the Beast games. It was good. It's on prime.

People are stupid. I watched it until people started turning down a million dollars for people they didn't know. I said, nope, scripted, not real. No way. They were like, oh, I'm such a good guy. If somebody over me a million dollars, I'd kick Martin in the butt cheeks. I'd let you. Yeah.

And they're like, oh, no, we got to let everybody. But I didn't see the part where he said, what happened? Somebody was wearing Battle Vision? A Duck Commander? I think that old Duck Commander glasses. Remember the ones we had made through, who is that, Nouveau or something like that? We had them for forever.

I don't know. That's interesting. The last episode, some old boy that was like, oh, I'm going to turn down the million dollars. It's a game show. Take the money. Yeah. And then he got voted off.

And then people told him he was a bad person. And then the guy that was telling him was a bad person, went and took like $750,000 for himself. And I was like, there ain't no way this is real TV because these people are... And he stayed up all night crying. Yeah, he was so sad that he did it. He's like, I couldn't help it.

I never watched it. It was weird. Anyway, that was a real hunter-boys. Reality TV. Reality TV. Oh, no, reality. Hey, Doug Hallroom. It's Lance from...

That's impossible. Tennessee. Lance is a really... Minnesota. I think he's a Louisiana person. Okay. Go ahead.

Hey, Doug Hallroom. It's Lance from Texas. I just had one question. Would you rather fight a bear-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized bears? Let me know. I love you guys.

Enjoy the podcast. Have a good one. God bless. I'm going one-on-one whenever I get to chant. I'm just saying. Your kids are a little bigger than a duck. Yeah. But imagine if they were bears, then there was a hundred of them.

That's what I'm saying. Give me one-on-one. Anytime I got the chance, let me have one-on-one. Because you don't fight fair. I'm not afraid of no duck either. I don't care how big it is. Yeah, no, I'll take my chances. One-on-one.

One versus a hundred, you're in a bind. There's a hundred of them. Even if you get the first 90, you still got ten more. What's that? Yeah, I'm taking on the big duck, and I'm going to stab him right. I go with one on one. All you need is one, like, one smooth stone in the correct spot, and you can take down a giant. Yeah, I still worry about that.

Look it up. In a book. Okay. First Grandin's. Hey, guys, my name's Denver, and I'm from the Panhandle, Florida. Why are you not from Colorado? Sorry, I meant to pause that a lot earlier. My name's Denver, and I'm from Colorado.

Colorado, Florida. Jacksonville. He's from the Panhandle. He's a redneck. A panhandler. Yeah, we hired one from there. Okay.

Go ahead. Oh, Kade's dad called me. Hey, guys. My name's Denver, and I'm from the Panhandle, Florida. First of all, Hunter, I just want to say there's nothing wrong with driving a long way

to get to a nice movie theater. Anyway, my question is for everyone. Hunter picked this. If you're going to go on a vacation or something, how far is too far to drive, and at what point do you just fly. Thanks. You're going to podcast and you'll have a great day.

Yes. This is a great question because I'm currently going to argue with my entire family that Colorado Springs is too far to drive. How far is it? Too far. I can say with the boys, I don't want to drive. Hey, I don't want to be in a car more than a day, right? Like a day.

I'm not saying 24 hours, but like I don't want to have to wake up. I want to spend night somewhere and wake up and keep driving. I don't even like driving to Monroe with my kids. Us right now, it's like eight hours. So, like Chattanooga, Nashville, we can do that. No problem. Very little issue. But over that, we're about to jump on a bird and get there.

Now what's the furthest vacation you've ever driven to? Don't know. Don't think. I ain't wanting to really vacate. Now look, for a hunting trip. Yeah, he'll drive away. I ain't a vacation man. What's the furthest you ever driven to hunt an animal?

Idaho. I'd be to South Texas. No, you drove to Idaho, didn't you? Back in the day when everybody went west. Oh, to Idaho? They didn't, we ain't had the money to fly. Then don't go. I mean, but ducks are there.

Ducks are here, too. There's like eight between. Oh, you didn't make that one. No, I didn't make it. That was up when y'all was on Columbia River. Yeah, all that stuff, yeah. I drove my kids to Disney World, you know, when they were younger, and that's too far. I told my kids, that is too far.

That is too far. That is too far. That is too far. if we're going to Disney World. Yeah, that's a long way. We stopped in Pensacola. If you got Disney money, you got a long way to drive. That's what I'm saying.

We're going to spend that extra cash. Only about eight hours. Eight hours is all I want. That's a good number. My mom and brother-in-law have decided this summer when we go see Uncle Mac and get some of them delicious biscuits. And I can't wait. You're headed to the North Pole.

We're going to see Santa Claus Uncle Mac. Yeah. But they want to rent a 15-pour. passenger van, I get anxiety thinking about it. And then... Tell them you meet him there. I'm thinking about it. You should take a suburban or something. You should follow behind. And then they're going to put my... And I'm like, I'm cool with Jen and Drew's kids.

They don't even talk when I ask them questions. But my kids, have you met him in a car to Colorado Springs? And then we're going to get to Colorado Springs. All right, now head up the mountain another hour. How long will drive is that? Let's look. I bet it's 13. Mac and Mary live in Divide, Colorado. We're going to start here at 117 King's Lane, which that's shaving off 10 minutes.

13 hours. I'm guessing. 15 hours and 53. 16 hours. Hey, that's an hour per person. That's too far. That's too far. That's too far.

And I'm like, have none of y'all been to the Dallas, Fort Worth, airport? They got these shrimp in there that they wrap in bacon and cook to perfection. Yeah. We can stop and have one. Yeah. I don't know what the deal is there. Anyways. Well, you just need, is Big Dave going with you?

No. That's what I think. Big Dave vacates as much as size. So you get Big Dave to say, I need Johnny Dee to stay one day and help me. And then you say, oh, I'll catch up with you. You know what my wife would never do again if I was about say due to me? but no, that ain't going to happen. I'm out.

Sleeping outside. Again. I never slept outside on purpose. But there were some long nights. Harding University was a weird place. Anyways, they locked the doors on you. Hey, here's a Bible verse. Send it home.

When you were talking about staying grounded and stuff, a Bible verse hit me, and it was one of my papal's favorites because he once pulled a move on the government when they said he owed him taxes, but they actually owed him taxes and he went on the news to talk about it. I like that.

He got called out by the news that Howard brothers. Howard brothers owed money. And so my papal went on the news with receipts. And the actual story was, nope, y'all owe me money. And then he said,

so that's it. There you go. Proverbs 26, 27. He walked off. Al tells this story. And I was like, was Proverbs 26, 27. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it.

If someone rolls a stone, it'll roll back on them. There you go. Hollage boy. There you go. Love. That's a good one. We'll see y'all next time right here in Duck Call Room.

We're out.
