Episode Date: October 10, 2023

Uncle Si gets tickled thinking about all the ducks the Duckmen missed this teal season — and they can’t blame it on him this time! Martin looks forward to the recently announced halftime performer for the coming Super Bowl, and John–David has a firsthand idea of how a Willie Robertson appearance on “Survivor” would go. Si wouldn’t survive an apocalypse, but he’s got a good idea of which of the Duck Call Room boys would. Si and Jay Stone look back on their military experiences and realize how much they didn’t appreciate until it was gone which warranted an apology from Phil Robertson. The boys give excellent advice for duck hunting from a canoe, dealing with parents who are addicts and what church denominations actually mean. - Learn more about your ad choices.

We're in the duck call room. It's a lovely Thursday afternoon. Isn't it? Yeah. Today's Thursday. Wow, what a life. And this one airs on a Thursday. I know.

It's weird when those stars all aligned that like it's a Thursday and it's a Thursday. But the good news is, Martin. We can spoil the whole movie for everybody now because it's been out. Which movie? You saw the Taylor Swift one? No. Oh, you're talking about the other movie. You know, the one we know.

You wasn't impressed? I was, I was in and out. I'm just curious. That's what you're not, Twainte. I'm trying to get. I'm not impressed. But I'm not allowed to talk about it because we're all as asking. actors are on strike.

Oh. You're a member of sag and you're on strike, huh? I'm on strike. I've broken every one of those rules that I don't know how they apply to me or if they do, but whatever. Yeah, I don't think you're one of the ones that's affected by that. But maybe. Who knows? You know, maybe.

Stone, you go to the movie? I went for this one. But the short answer is, no, I don't go to the movie theory. You don't go to movies. But I did attend this movie. And it was really good. Okay. Stone's saying a lot.

Stone doesn't go to movies and he already knew the ending of this one. So to go see it. I knew. That's a big deal. 90% of what was already in it. And my expectations were low. Well, I will give you the summary of the movie. It was way better than what I thought was going to be.

I'll give you a summary of a movie. Most people that get into the spotlight, okay, they always say, make sure you show my good side. Well, hey, this movie is just the opposite. Okay, they show nothing but the bad side. The truth, the whole truth,

and nothing else but the truth. Oh, there you go. If you're a human being on this planet, you need to go see it because, hey, there will be something in there that will prick your heart. Bada bada bada bada bada. Okay. No doubt.

No doubt about that. Okay. Yeah. If for Phil, if you're like anyone else that's lived in this world, you're going to have issues and problems to deal with. That's been. You know, go see the movie, and hey, you'll see how to deal with them. And for Phil, to give the go-ahead to run that, you know.

And I think, what did he say, Martin? He said, if it helps one person. Yeah. Let's do it. Yeah. So. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want the worst of me out there.

No. Because, hey, it's not. I mean, you ask me about it, I'll tell you. Yeah. It's like Paul Harvey. Different when you've got to watch it actually happen. That's a weird deal. It's like Paul Harvey.

Hey, come back. And when you come back, I will give you the rest of the story. We need to get a new Paul Harvey. Paul Harvey needs to be run by. Oh, no. I don't think so. Yeah. No, we tried it with Bob Barker.

Yeah, but I mean, that was Drew Carey for crying out loud. That's what I'm saying. When you try and replace people. Bob, right, you can't replace Bob Barker. Thank you. Yeah. And you can't replace Paul Barker. Paul Harvey.

No, but I mean, but to tell the kind of anecdotal stories that Paul Harvey will tell. Somebody can do that. They don't have to. Good day. Hey, they lead you right up to it and say, hey, we'll be back at the break. And that's the rest of the story. And that's when you'll get the rest of the story. You just be on K-104 here in Westman or Louisiana.

Oh, I love Paul Harvey. Yeah, absolutely. Hey, what about Sa? He always, he always happy and suspense. So I will, sigh will not stay on script for anything. Paul Harvey had a very regimented time slot. And he read it word for word. That is not that man's bang zone.

No. Too much embellishment. Improb was improv. Because I would read the story before he got there. Make it his own. Somehow have lived it too. I would give him the punchline. And then I would say, hey, come back.

And I'll tell you the story before all, the punchline. Yeah. You wouldn't keep them very long. And put it together for you. I think it would be better. It's personally my skin. Look, now look, his Jerry Clower stories are better than Jerry Clower telling that story. Oh, man, it would be fun.

Thanks from your childhood. I used to listen. Oh, I went back on, hey, when Big Dave was here on a podcast other day, oh, we went back to childhood. Oh, I'm aware. I was sitting right beside. That's what happens when two old geysers get on a podcast. A big Dave was on here.

Big Dave came in last episode. Let me show you Big Day's podcast dance. Yeah. He just laid back. That was his whole deal. My man back here. And the best part of it was when he's talking about Willie. He did tell.

Yeah, he did tell some stories. And he said, that boy ain't no mouth too much. And he said, I was wrong. He said, but boy, he watched him. And he said, that boy ended up being worth much. Apparently, Dad used to take the nail gun and shoot it at Willie while they were building cabinet. He said,

oh, he was out there pretty good ways. I said, well, it's a good thing because they, you know,

those, them nail guns drive through two before it, boom, boom. Yeah, they were them old ones. Yeah.

Back in them days. They didn't hurt as bad. I said, well, Willie was used to it, okay, because we had

BB Gun Wars and all that stuff growing up. Yeah, but that's Willie's elbow to step away from me from around

the corner and throw something at you and hit you and then go hide. I mean, it explains, I feel like most of what

Willie's torture to me was just getting back at what my dad did to him. Well, hey, the best one was the famous post hole digging. Oh, yeah. That was good one. He literally threw the post holes in the hole, and when he come down, he hit his hand and gave himself a concussion. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah.

Who'd ever thought Willie wouldn't a handy one of the family? Oh, yeah. but hey that was on another podcast go back go check that one out with big Dave was our guest he said he'd come back sometime he said he was worth it it it was a good one he said he has no idea how that many people listened to what we did

he said are you sure and I was like that's what they tell me yeah and then someone sent in like we've been doing it for about 15 minutes sent in a question about how look, I want to run a bait shop when I grow up. That's the right guy. I said, well, hey, you got the right man here.

And he said, well, hey, get ready for long hours and you doing all the work. I said, that's about the truth. Stone, would you be shocked to learn that John David is in fact a mama's boy? No, I would not. That would not shock me at all. Was that established?

Yeah, yeah. Dad, I thought that was just a thing we all knew. Oh, I know, but it was funny to watch your dad say. I said, what's the light working with your son? He said, well, his mom is there, and she's a pretty good buffer. In other words, we couldn't get to the truth. Mom is a good buffer. You know who else is a good buffer?

His mom was a buffer. You know who else is a good buffer? Who's that? Oh, Burley. He's a real good buffer. Is Berley still in town? No, he went. Oh, man.

Oh, that blue wings run him off too. Yeah. They said, nope. I'm out, boys. Blue winged teal. Well, they couldn't hit them. Yeah, well. That's another story for another time.

Yeah, we've already told that one, too, unless it's happened again. Yeah. It probably happened again. Oh, it happened again. Oh. Yeah. It happened again. All right.

What's it like down there in the AARP blind? Well, he said, what did he say yesterday? He said, he said, boys, when you're crowding, 80, you start shooting it all over the place. No tails. They just got it, flew off. It's gone. They're lucky I ain't going with this year.

I'd be riding them boys. No, yeah. I'd have my cowboy spurs and cowboy boots on. Yeah, you would. Yeah. Oh, I'd give them, because they rode me my whole life. Oh, yeah, I witnessed it. Oh, hey.

Would you wear your beaver socks? He got tire tracks all up and down his back. Oh, yeah. and I got my beaver socks with them roasting marshmallows. Your socks. Y'all didn't know that beavers like roasted marshmallows. I thought they like wood. Everybody like those.

They do like wood. They always gnawing these trees down. Time to take them out. Unbelievable. You got to take them out, boys. Well, we've already made it through one segment. Let's get out of here. Let's take a break and pay for this thing.

We'll be back right after that. All right. 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 Triedale's beef, makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sall Robertson would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Triedells, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Triedale's

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

So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Triedails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She and a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to tribeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash.

Duck. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. We just talking about a Super Bowl halftime set. I mean, it's usher. Stone ain't watching those Super Bowl halftime. No. I'm not watching the Super Bowl either. I'm going to.

I'm excited that it's Usher. Usher. But I think they've done figured it out. They like, look at the demographic of all this and like, what did these people listen to when they were growing up? Who? Usher? Yeah. No, the fans.

Oh. No, I'm saying the fans. They finally got dialed in on the demographic of the people watching it. That's why we had Dr. Dre and Snoop, which was really good. Hey, Snoop dog, good. Look, I'm a Dre fan. Let's not, let's not kill it. ourselves. I grew up with these guys. Now we got Usher. You've had to repent lately, but

yeah. Well, I mean, it happens. But, you know, I mean, it's just, it's what you grew up with. It's just like nostalgia. I don't, I don't drive down the road listening to it every day. But every now and then it is in my songs and it comes up and, you know, but you know what else is in there the other night? Wailen grabbed my phone and he somehow started playing the Gat Band. So I don't know. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. My 11-month-old son grabbed my phone and somehow dropped a bomb on me. That's the best. That's the best. I have no idea how he did it with not ever opening my phone. So congratulations to him.

Kids are weird about phones. They know about them. Hey, your son knows good music. I guarantee you. He got the gap band on there. I was standing there and I heard. I was like, and I looked down on my phone and it's just the gap band.

I'm like, well, son, I don't know how you did that, but good on you. I'm a big fan of the Gap band So you know But there's little nostalgic songs in there That take you back to places in your life Speaking of football How did Sy's latest A football prediction game

That was a bomb Uh oh They didn't show up Didn't show up There's got to be something to that Well I don't know I ask the great minds right now

What is the deal on that Hey A team won three in a row and all three games were great from start to finish and then another game comes up, okay,

and they don't show up. You know, they was there. I think you're a curse. Hey, when you pick a team... I know, when I pick a team, that's it. Yeah, we just need to start back the opposite of year. When a team loses by 40,

the team that beat them is way better. No, they're trash. Just the other team didn't show up. Or the other teams. They just had a bad day. They just had a bad day. Oh, they're trashed. You didn't get that right.

They're still trashed. The other team just didn't show up. And that's true. And that was very predictable what happened. Stone don't even watch football. He said, everybody knew that's what's funny? What's funny is I think they'd have had a better chance if they'd have lost to Colorado

State. No, I'm not going to predict anything on football anymore. He's out. He's retired, boy. Prognostication is gone. It's got voodoo going on because every time I predict this deal, it's always a blowout the other way. So, hey, this time I'm going to know. I ain't say nothing.

Sa, are you watching anything good on TV lately? Oh, I did. What? It's called Woods Bathing on PBS. That sounds dirty. Is that a subscription service? No, no. With Rocket money, you can get out of that.

No, no. It was actually really cool. Okay. Look. You got parental control on this? or what? Like, I don't know about something called Wood's bathing.

No, no, it was actually a real good show. I'm sure there's an only fan's page about it. Hey. You can't say that. Why not? Hey, watch it, okay. It's about, it's an African-American young man,

and he's in the, in God's nature. Taking bass? Huh? And, yeah, he was, you know, you need to watch the episode. I can't tell you about it. What the heck are you watching?

Okay, and he was actually, it was spear fishing. That great white's out there. Well, no, no, but he went spear and look, the water was, you couldn't see nothing, okay,

because they tried the camera, showed you on the camera, No, it was so dark you could, all you've seen was images. And he's swimming in it? Oh, yeah. I'm out. Yeah, yeah, I was thinking it's exactly what you was thinking. If the water was clear, I'd be all right. But I ain't going down in murky water where you can't see.

Yeah. Okay. And when a human being is in the forest, okay, bathing. Okay. You're in the forest, okay. You breathe that and it actually helps your immune system. them. I mean.

You didn't know that. Did they tell you which tree helps with a head cold? Well, nope. I'll go sniff every one of right now. No, no. And another thing was I can't, I think it, I think they said, uh, tubes or something, it starts with a tea.

And it's like a small potato that's in the ground. French rice? No, no. And you can eat it. There's 11 different species of them and you can only eat one. Huh. Okay. And then when you,

they got a dog that finds it. That's how they find them, a dog or a pig. Okay. A pig. Yeah, yeah. A dog or a pig is one that smells it and digged it up.

And what it is? It's like a small potato. This is a different. Well, when you cut it open, okay, the ones that's edible has got, it looks like a fat in a steak,

marble. It's got a marble look to it. You talk about mushrooms? Uh. No, any mushroom. He was doing something. This is like a small potato. What are we talking?

He said, that smells like real good butter. Yeah, truffle butter is amazing. Yeah. Well, it makes good food because the food they look, look, fabulous. Hey, you know, when you get done burning that filet, like you always talk about cooking it, yeah. If you slap you some of that truffle butter on there, buddy, you have something.

Oh, no, it's soaked in it. Mine is soaked in it. Okay, so that's why it's good and juicy. Boy, you can't hide. Matter of fact, hey, look, I ain't one last. You got a truffle butter in the house? Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

Whipped saltwater butter is what it's called. Oh, no, but yours ain't got no truffle in it. Well, hey, it may. It may because it, oh, I'm telling you. So nobody was taking a bath in this. show well no no that's what it's called you were bathing in the aroma in the aroma in the wood okay okay but it didn't surprise me because God's creation has got all kind of wonders no with this one wait wait no that wasn't a bunch it was he was with

That's where they was at. Mm-hmm. Yeah, no. But it just, it amazed me that it talked about the fragrance and then it helped your immune system.

All they did was go on a hike and call it a forest bath. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and that's what it is. You're taking a hike in the woods. They've been picking the mushrooms of them cow patties. You don't want to bathe? Make them a little tea. You don't want to bathe in that.

Stone says, oh, boy. They went on a hike and called it a forest bath. Mm-hmm. People are getting weirder and weirder. That looked like, okay, I thought there was a beehive. I thought there was a hive. I thought there was a beehive you were looking at there, J.D. Ain't no different side, though, calling an aquarium a water zoo.

Oh, no. Hey, it is water zoo. It's different, Martin. All the ocean is, is a big giant aquarium. There you go. Water zoo. Find what he's talking about, just so we're clear. Well, hey, you've seen Forest Bayesian.

That was it. Okay. What's it got to do with dogs? Who let the dogs out? Now somebody's doing a forest bath with a dog. Okay, see, that's what we're talking about. Hey, no, you got to find the, what is it, truffles? Truffles.

Truffles? Let's look for truffles. You got to have the pig or the dog to find the truffles. We're going to find some troubles. Yeah, let's use, let's use a dog to find the truffles in this break. I'd like to eat some of that rice and what they had in there. It looked, it was, you know, they was, hey, they was putting it away. I got to say, though, to be fair, Hunter's not here today.

Josh is filling in for him. And the fact that Josh is, can put up what's the word size looking for on the screen that fast. Josh, Josh, we may have found you. You may be a permanent fix. Your hunter,

if you're listening to this or editing this right now. Yeah, that never would have happened. I didn't see it ever. I hope you enjoyed your ride on the private airplane today. Yeah, he put it up there. Oh,

I had never heard of the term forest bathing. I haven't either. That's because you don't hang out in weird. I don't know. Liberal Democrat Portland circles. Well, I'm just saying, hey,

and then to find the truffles. But the term forced bathing sounds like the title of a bluey episode. So, I mean, I'm... That's for people that do goat yoga. They all over TikTok. Yeah, I was right. They all over TikTok. I'm telling you.

There are some weird people in this world. Hey, what are you talking about? There are weirdos out there. We watched Survivor last night, weirdo, every one of them. I'm a fan of a lone. He said a lone. He said a long. We watched Survivor last night, and dude, he'd been there a day,

had a panic attack and couldn't climb a ladder. Oh, he could. I was like, did you know you were going on Survivor? Did you not think of like walking up your driveway a couple times before you got on? Did he do that one time? Survivor? On the Survivor, yeah. He tried out for an amazing race or something one time.

Yeah, way back in a lot. I thought he did the Survivor. That boy ain't going to Survivor. You kidding? Well, I just, I thought he, I thought he did it. He'd be the first person to bring an assistant on the survivor with him. Yeah. Hey, don't get me.

Ah, he didn't. and find me some rice and a bag of fire. And a truffle. I thought he did do it. Yeah, give me some truffle butter. Put on my radishes. Will he be the guy that you think was going to win Survivor?

Because he'd be there at the end. And then you'd realize everybody on that island done hated him the whole time. And he'd done got all of them out. He'd been eating mac and cheese. They'd vote against them just be out of spite. He'd been eating mac and cheese and hamburgers from McDonald's the whole time. Everybody asked me starting to death.

Eat bucks. eating thugs. I don't think if folks on Survivor necessarily roughing at that order. I know, I know. They lose a lot of weight. Yeah, well, you know. Oh, well.

It's my next diet plan. That would have been a good episode. See, William's Survivor. See, the one I wouldn't make it on is that a lone show. On History Channel? No. Is it real?

Is it real? How does that work? Huh? How does that work? They drop you off of like four cameras? Yeah. And you got to film it off? Stone would be the best out of all of us.

At a long? At any of them. I mean, I ain't ever seen Stone start a fire with two sticks now. Yeah. I'm just saying. I mean, I'm just a lot of that stuff. I mean, a bunch of that, though, just comes down to how tough are you. Yeah, I'm not very.

It's my mentally. I was fixed. Yeah. How mentally tough you are. Yeah. No, there ain't, it ain't many of humans today that you would, you know, that would fit that be tough. No.

Which brings me to an email we got. What? Already? Oh, well, this is fine. Let's go with it. This is just, because remember, Sia is trying to fix all of the world's problems. Oh, yeah. He wanted to know how we could fix the world.

One email is going to eventually do that. Okay. Anthony, I believe Anthony doesn't know where, we don't know where Anthony's found. He said this is how you save the world. You just bring back natural selection. Because if the lives we're living today with all the convenient stuff, made everybody weak and if we took

all that stuff away, nobody would like the people today would never have made it to Kansas is what he says. Oh, no. They'd have never got on that Oregon trail. What do you think, sign? Can people survive? The boy's got a good, valid point here

okay, because look, if you take away all the you know, just talking about it, just take away electricity. Take away, hey, yeah. Uh-uh. Let's take away something else. Oh, I don't know.

That controls air conditioning. Yeah, survival. Hey, it would be a mass, okay, dying, happened. I mean, I agree. Okay, and look, he's right for the simple reason, okay, the survival of the fittest is what was to happen. So only then will you find out who the tough people was. Okay, because, hey, I'm gone.

Yeah. Okay, I'm gone. I died. Yeah. It's fresh. I'm, at least I'm honest about it. Yeah, you go ahead and start digging my hole.

Oh, no, yeah. You're going to bury me because I die. Okay. So you're out too, Martin? Oh, I'm not going to try to be Mr. Tough, man. Yeah, I'm going. I feel like if I go.

Because if you, there's some of the stuff, like, if you're like, hey, let's take away. What now? How far are we going with this on taking stuff away? Oh, no, no, no. No. Because today's shotgun shells are really good. If I go back to having to pour powder down a barrel

and put little balls in a gun. Yeah, and then actually go and look for the ingredients to make powder? I mean, that's a... I mean, we have the things that we have. We just don't have electricity. Well, then I like my chances because they got a lot of ammo. Hey, lead shot back. And in some extent, the winner of this game,

the winner of this game is going to be the one with the most ammo. I would just think I wouldn't have trouble, okay, if I had, like you said, a gun and bullets. okay because I could kill and I could live off the land or whatever I killed. But like they take my fishing rods and I got to make one out of a stick with some strength. I'm in trouble. But if you take everything away and say, okay, you're on your own.

I wouldn't make it a long time. Beer can. You see them boys with the, they wind up fishing line around that beer can. But see, but I mean if we're going back that far was there aluminum cans. Yeah. I'm just saying. Oh, you know. Oh, you ain't going to have a coars to pop at night.

It's cold. No, no monofilament. No monofilament. No chlorophyllum. You're going to do this with a vine and all, whatever you can find. No life scope. That's out. Yeah.

I'm saying, like, that's where you got to be careful when you say, take away everything and start over. Like, how far back is everything? Because then you lose your gasoline engine. Oh, yeah. I don't know how to ride a horse. Well, I'm walking north immediately. You getting out of the heat? We got to at least get to like Missouri or somewhere.

He's headed north, boy. Because this summer I would have died. I don't think Missouri would have been far enough to escape. No, really? I think you'd have had to end up there around. I can handle 95. Once it's the, you know, 105, that's when your boy starts eating lots of popsicles. You got to stay cool somehow.

He said eats a lot of popsicles. I think I was about... Vanilla-covered chocolate. I was about 10 years old last time I ate a popsicle. You are missing out. I hate to be one. Life is grand. That Hawaiian ice thing.

Not even the fancy ice cream was just like... Yeah, oh, no. Done with it. Oh, man, that thing's good. I'll see, he's into physical fitness, okay? So all that kind of stuff that me and you enjoy, stones out on it, okay? I just got to say this.

If you want, then Pediolite popsicle's pretty good. Now, if you need something in the summertime, keep in the cooler box to keep you hydrated. A little Pediolite popsicle throwing your ice chest under the ice. It'll stay frozen most of the day. I'm a Hawaiian ice man. We went from natural selection to who makes the best popsicle. Yeah, now we're on PEDC.

I told you. I told you. Like, go ahead and dig my hole, buddy. Stone's making it. Hey, I'm going to dig my hole. You might be, this man's got a good point. Okay. You really look, because it would be this, only the fit survive.

Yeah. Okay. So you're talking about a killoff. Okay. Because, hey. Mass proportions. Oh, hey, this would be epidemic, okay, big time. Yeah, it'll start stinking.

Because it just, no. That's people I said that don't know that when they go to the grocery store and buy hamburger meat. Uh-oh. In a package? Uh-oh. They don't know that a cow was took to a slaughterhouse, killed, skin, cut up, and ground up to make that amber beet in that nice, neat package. There really are people out there. Oh, yeah.

There's people out there that don't know that. They think they cut a slice off his rear end, bandaged it up, and send him back out there. So we'll get on that again here in a little bit. Yeah. Like it's milk or something. Yeah. Because, hey, you know, there was a thing in the news about, hey, the farmers, you know, they need help, all this. and the woman said, hey, I'm so sick of hearing about the farmers need help.

When I want it, I just go down to Brookshires and get it. What they need help for. Yeah, what they need help for? Go down to the Brickshadow. Oh, darling, didn't you know that pork shop you had last night for supper? That used to be a pig running around eating slop. Man, and then they eat, pork chops are good. Yeah.

I like bacon. Think about bacon. Stop. Hey. I love bacon. If it wasn't hog farm. We wouldn't have no baby. What about smoked pork belly?

Yeah. Okay. So that's what you say. Mark Lloyd. Hey, no, no, because that's why when you said, how far we're going to go with this? How far back now? Yeah, how far back we're cutting down? Yeah, what are we taking away?

Yeah. Then if we have a little bit better set of rules of the game, I make it, make it a little bit. But if we go on back to the 1800s. No, no, no, no. That's why like, that's why the guy that was. Hey, the greatest generation? That's why they was the greatest generation. They'd have made it.

What it boils down to is the older generations all had a war to fight at some point. And when's the last time we had to send our troops to war? Nineties? Well, where did you went to? Enduring freedom. Afghanistan. Yeah, Afghanistan. That would have been like 2005.

Yeah, 2000, well, yeah, you're right, 2002, 2003. I was there in 2003. Well, 2001 all the way up to what now, present time? Well, they pulled out. But when you do a tour, when you're in theater, you don't have those things that you're accustomed to having. There were no cell phones. We didn't have air conditioned.

We lived in a tent. We did a 12-month tour. I think the, yeah, it was all, they're 12. Yeah. So you get used to it and you adapt and you overcome. And your appreciation, okay, of the things, appreciation and respect, there was a lot more respect and a lot more appreciation for what you had.

Yeah, and you don't appreciate things until you don't have them for an extended period of time. That's for sure. That's why when you said about okay, going back and taking it all the way, no, we would lose, okay, what is the population? I ain't even got it. No idea. Billions, say six million or six billion?

In the world? Yeah. Yeah, something like that. You would lose 85%? Oh, from down to six. Oh, no, no, no. That's why I'm saying, oh, it would be a. It would be a dying like you ain't seen lately, boys.

From six buh to one buh. Yeah, okay, because hey, I'm telling you, only to survive would, you know, only the fit would survive. Most of us, most of us would go down. Oh, ain't that. That's just being facing a fact of honesty. Okay. I don't disagree with that. Yeah.

You'd wait it out a lot of us this summer around here. Oh, what are you talking about? We'd have been like the ducks and either headed north or, you know, it's rough around east. Well, I look at the, I look at it at the game that I hunt. I'd be starving to death right now. Well, no, no, I just, I don't see how they make it through the wintertime, especially when we have a rough one here in Louisiana, when we have ice and snow for a few days. Yeah.

For a few days. That's big to ours, though. Ours ain't equipped for that. When the water freezes over, and every. Everything has got to deal with that. Because like when we go in the duck blind and see a beaver sitting up there and he looked like he's about how he froze

and he goes into water. You know, under the ice. Yeah, mad. Yeah. You know he's mad. Yeah, yeah. Damn it, I just got out of this mess. Yeah, and he ain't got no heat

that he warm up. He just got to deal with it. Yeah, he just got to deal with it. No. You wouldn't deal with it very well? No, no. That's why I said. said, hey, I'd be the first one gone.

Throw dirt the boy's face because he ain't here. He gone. Phil would make it. The Phil would make it. Phil be all right. He'd make it. Yeah, Phil would be okay. Because I've seen him just, you know,

he's actually probably. No, he had any source, okay, and it is like 18 degrees. That must have been a long time ago. Oh, hey. That's what I was going to say. That's a mock lake day. I don't think Phil could make it without. uh, propane.

Well, now he couldn't. No. But back in them days, he had that old crow. Hey. That's in the first half of, and hey, they all said it kept a warm. That's the biggest lie. Is that what they said?

That's the biggest lie. It don't keep you warm. It just makes you not care. Yeah, you're numb to it. Okay, you're numb to it. Makes you indifferent. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't matter. It don't keep you warm. It just makes you indifferent. Hmm.

You're like, well, I could be colder, but give me that, you know. No, I, yeah. No, that's why the generation, you've got to think about this. That was back whenever, all of our people were farmers, most of them, farm boys. Okay. And as soon as the war happened, okay, they all went to the recruiter, joined up, okay, and then got on anything that would float across the pond, the big pond,

and went to try to rescue some people that was being a big, abused and killed. And we did it. And we did it. And did it. Yeah. That's wild. Hmm. Yeah, I mean, wild.

Because you guys, you know, most people don't realize this. The bombing campaign was seven days a week, 24 hours a day for years. Okay. When was this? I, World War II. And look, we was sending everything. that would fly with bombs. And hey, they're standing order.

Don't come back with bombs in your bomb bay. You drop them on something. My papa was in a B-26. Oh, no, no, no. See, that's what I'm saying. Okay. Yeah. Kill her up.

Yeah. And unload her. That's crazy. No, no. If you've ever seen some of the footage of bombs being dropped, and then you say, wait a minute, what did you say, Uncle Sa, seven days a week, 24 hours a day for years. Okay, we had B-17s, B-27, B-52s going to Germany,

and the amazing thing about it was my first tour over at was 72, 1977. And you had to look hard to find, you know, anything that even looked like a war was carried on over there. And they literally, or I said, I should say, we literally bombed Germany to rubble. And then built it back. And then built it back. I mean, that country was leveled by bombs.

Okay. Don't mess with the greatest generation. Oh, no, no, no. That's why I'm saying. You're talking about some tough, tough old codgers. I guarantee you My grandpa was one of them All his toenails

froze off When he was over there From bray in the trench He was on the second wave at Normandy Really I've been on that beach in Normandy Back all day You think of the beach here in America

And you think of every beach you've ever been on That beach is Four times wider Bigger Ross that thing with people shooting soaking wet. No, no. That beach, that's not a beat.

That's a full on field. No, no. My brother, Phil Robertson went over there, okay, and he was on both, on the cliffs and the beach at Normandy. Okay, and like, for 24 and a half years, I went to the military, and every time I'd come in for leave,

he never said, thank you for his service, none of that. He went over there and stood on the beaches on Normandy and on the cliffs, And look, he'd come back, and the first thing he said to me was, hey, I owe you an apology and thank you for serving our nation. Mm-hmm. He said, because, hey, I've been over there, and he said, uh-uh, I didn't know. See, that's what most people don't realize, okay?

Because he said, when I was standing on the cliff and thinking, oh, wait a minute, this is where the enemy had all their big guns. and our troops landed on the beach down in front. He said, it'll give you a new perspective of what the guys and the military, guys and gals go through. You know, that's why I was saying that, just, you know, yeah, that's why they was the greatest generation.

Amen. No doubt. Well, let's take a last break. We'll be back right after this. Duck blind canoe plus wild black lab, yes or no. That's the title. Spoiler alerts. That's the title, boys.

Let her rip, Tater Chip. We're back. Anyways, Si over here, spoiling my emails in the break. All right, so, this guy's got an interesting name. It's Nathan with an M. So, Nathan?

Or Matan? I don't know. He's from South Dakota. He's got interesting situation. He's a sophomore in high school, just started duck hunting. South Dakota? Mm-hmm.

That's good one. Good later. Okay. You got to draw to duck hunting in that state if you're a non-resident, so you know it's good. Okay. All right. So he bought himself a canoe from a garage sale. Got him a canoe.

Okay. Painted it camouflage. What do you think about going duck hunting in this? Oh, he'll smash up there. Hey. Wouldn't work down here, but he'll smash up there. Yeah. But when you shoot.

Hey. Make sure you're grounded. Be careful. Yeah, be careful. Make sure either your canoe is beached. Or you're like, you carry like four poles with you. To stabilize it. And you put two in the front on each side and two in the back on each side.

That way it kind of wedges you in there. To stabilize the boat. Until you really get it figured out, my man, hunt with a life jacket on. I mean, that is a legit canoe. That's like an old skinny canoe. It's made by a Luma Craft, which I'm guessing that that's an aluminum canoe. so it's probably riveted. So check it for leaks because those rivets do wear out after time.

You can do that in your garage with a water hose. You can throw it in there and see if you got any leaks and then fix them. J.B. Weld or generally take care of it, which looks like, hey, that may be what he was doing right there. It's filing sanding down some rivets and putting some J.B. Weld over it. But, no, you will kill them. That will work up there. It would not work so much down here.

Why would it not work down here, sir? It stands out like a tarry to punch bowl. Stick out too much. Well, you got to think he's South Dakota, so he's where the ducks raised. A lot of the ducks that he's going to run into are four, five, six months old. And they're on. It would be the first decoys they've ever seen. Yeah.

Their own, they're up there. They've got little creeks. Yeah. So it's not very wide. But take your time, get hidden. I mean, you can't just pull out in the middle of a pond and sit in and kill them. Like, that ain't going to work. But pull it up in some cat tail.

I've hunted up there. Pull it in some cat tails, kind of brace yourself, get you some poles in place. That way you don't shimmy and shake. Wear your life jacket. And go have fun, man. All right.

It'll work. And watch the stack them. He's thinking about taking this dog. Yep. Same thing. I'd get a stand for the dog. You can paddle with the dog in the canoe and then once you get there,

put the dog out of the boat on a stand. That's what I would do. I wouldn't have the dog jumping in and out of the boat, me in it. So, just me personally. Then you go out to, you know, scoop water out of the bottom of the boat. Yeah, I don't think that one's got a bilge pump in it.

Yeah. You don't have to carry you a jug. Yeah, yeah. It's your gin. That's a jug. Well, I figured we'd ask the experts. Yeah. I'd go have fun.

Get out there, man. Oh, whack of a stack. All right. Do we want marriage problems, dad problems, or religious problems? Real fun emails I was reading. Why is everybody got to have a problem, man? That's what we got today. I asked how to fix all.

world there you go so i pick one russian roulette what we got what we got again marriage problems dad problems or religion problems let's go with all three of just start one well i say all three boys nobody wants to pick I'll pick one I ain't a friend we always talk about relationship yeah let's go with this one

alright rich from Madison Pennsylvania big fan question is how can I honor my dad when he's basically been non-existent my whole life and when he is around, he's drunk. I have a history of drug use and I'll be 10 years clean on October 17th. That's fantastic. Good job, Rich. So I get where he's at an addiction, but he doesn't want to change. I've tried to invite him to my kids things. He only showed up a couple times or he's got a stupid excuse. I've tried mainly because I want my kids to have a grandfather, but he's making it

near impossible. He's just going to let my kids down like he did me when I was growing up. Any advice would be awesome. Rich, any chance you can get your old man to go. watch a movie called The Blind. Shameless plug, but also true. No, shares a very similar background. No, no. As far as the drinking and showing up drunk and not being a part of the life. It may be a, that may be a way if you don't really tell him what the movie's about.

Just say, hey, man, want to go catch a movie? Take him to it and let him see that whole story and process play out in front of his life. And maybe it gives him some recognition or something like that. You know, a lot of times if you see that, you see that, that even though you're living it, if you see it, it'll have a different thing. Not all this. Hey, don't give up on him. Okay.

Maybe he won't listen to you so you send him to somebody else. Or you get someone else to tell him. Dude, you need to straighten your life up and become a grandfather for crying and a father for crying out loud. You know, it's possible if you, you know, allow people to help. help you. There you go. Yeah. And I would say, you know, in the movie shows this,

Kay legitimately had to separate herself from Phil for an extended period of time. And sometimes you do have to remove yourself and let somebody else hit rock bottom. Not only that. My brother actually said it. You may have to hide from your drinking buddies, buddies. because they're going to keep coming to you and say, hey, let's go get drunk. Okay, because my brother actually did it. He went and found him, his wife did, found him a place on the river,

and he hid out for about the first two years after he was converted to Jesus. Okay, because, hey, who you run with is who you'll be known as. Okay, so if you're running with a bunch of drunks, you can't get straight if you stay with them. You've got to get away from them and then take care of business. It is possible. It is possible. Because, hey, Phil Robertson is living proof of that. There you go.

Perfect. All right, we go on marriage or religion? It's a tough one. Aye, aye, aye. Hey, aye. Since we had that, let's go to religion. Oh. All right, this one's.

Because that's what's trading my brother out of religion. I think this is an easy answer, but my man has confused himself to death. Clinton from Oklahoma is having some mixed feelings towards religion. He believes in our Lord and Savior. He never says Jesus Christ, but I don't believe in different denominations or churches because it seems like all they are is a scheme to get money. I'm also, this is a part that confusing me,

I'm also confused on the different religions, whether it be Christianity or Muslims or whatever, because the more I talk, the more it seems like most people are confused. and then he goes on about how America you're not supposed to have religious persecution because that's what makes America great I guess my question is it okay to have the feelings about different denominations and many of the churches

because I feel like you don't need a church as long as you are living your faith and spreading your faith but what confuses me about that is he said Muslims and Christians and so I think my man is daffly confused Let me help you out, okay? First of all, when you look at the human race, okay, they're going to let you down. They're always going to fall short of your expectations.

Okay, there's three, there's three, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Godhead, the Trinity. Okay, is everything screwed up in the human race? You got it. okay but you said you believe that jesus is is the son of god and that what has been written about him he didn't say that well i don't but i was just saying what has been written about him you either believe it's true or false okay and that's where your faith comes in okay but look if you if you're always relying looking around and looking at human race hey guess where all the denominations came from it came from people

because hey this guy was going to the Presbyterian church well they did something you know oh I've seen him drunk okay so they're out well hey look if you're you give that

kind of view your perspective they're all the human race is always going to fail you we're sinful flawed human beings. So number one, don't put your trust in a human being. There's one you should.

Well, I know, okay, unless you put it in the Lord himself. I don't know about y'all, but I drive by 10 churches to get to my church. Uh-huh. Yeah, especially here in West Monroe. Which church do you think Jesus will stop at? That's an interesting one. Well, no, no. All of them?

And probably go in there and be like, y'all got to. this one wrong. You got this one wrong. I was fixed thing. That makes more sense. Yeah. That's it. I think that's the answer my man needs to hear because he goes on about all the different types of religions. But I'm going to send us out of here with a Bible verse that should help you answer. Jesus Christ himself said in John 146, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. Jesus is your only answer, my man. So I hope you can figure that out. And a great way to find that out is in a church where people will let you down. But find you one. And that's going to have a sign on that building.

Get plugged in and get around. And as long as they're pointing to Jesus. I have a fixed day, you're not worshipping, okay, the people. Yeah. You're going there to worship Jesus Christ, the son of the father. Amen. Amen. Okay.
