Episode Date: September 30, 2025

Uncle Si is in rare form as he relives his run-in with an Alaskan grizzly, shocks the boys by disagreeing with Trump’s stance on PBS, and explains why his family buried cash in mason jars instead of... trusting banks. Jacob Mayo takes on the challenge of tracking down a replica of Si’s legendary silk dragon jacket — the one he swears helped him win Miss Christine. Phillip reveals the embarrassing but fitting nickname Phil Robertson gave Martin, and John-David beams with fatherly pride as his son Carter lands the role of Zazu in the school play. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:00:01 Welcome back to the duck call room. Martin's not with us today. He's out hunting, and I guarantee you, he went to one of our favorite sponsors, duckstamp.com, months ago and got his duck stamp. Have you got your duck stamp yet? I've got my duck stamp yet. You've got yours.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Did you get it on duck stamp? Yeah. Right there on their phone. So look, I think I'm going duck hunting this weekend. I've got to get my duck stamp. I haven't got it yet. But I'm going to go to duckstamp. com, have it ready, ready to go.
Starting point is 00:00:29 But without Martin, we don't need Martin. We'll just talk about random stuff. That's right. But we're here this morning. It's a rainy morning here on August 7th. I'm just kidding. We have the only day it is. We got Jacob Mayo, Philip McMillan,
Starting point is 00:00:43 Cy Robertson, Martin bailed on us. Well, me and Jacob saw a package for Dustin Martin this morning. So what is that about? Dustin Martin. Dustin Martin and Cy Robinson. Everybody's favorite characters. Is that an ultra-ego or a brother? The twin brother we don't know about.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Mm-hmm. You can't be too careful these days. Dustin Martin. Mm-hmm. I don't think there's a... Justin Martin. I didn't know Martin's name was Justin for like the first three years I knew him. Because it was Martin.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Called him horse head. I just called him Martin. That's what everybody called him. What did you say, Sam? What did you call him? We called him horse head. Phil, I don't feel,
Starting point is 00:01:16 I named it. Phil hung horse head. Horsehead. What was the reasoning? I want to know. Have you seen him? I mean, I get he has a big head.
Starting point is 00:01:24 I was standing in the blind one day. Okay. And we've got wire put on the blind to stick brush in it. Right. And then we heard. heard a loud crash. That was a horse head. A horse head fell through the wire.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Big boy. I thought you were to say you heard a large. Wasn't an actual horse, just a man that's the size of the horse. Which back then Martin was probably bigger. Yeah, we'll just say bigger. Well, I don't know because him of stone, they used to rock them scales pretty heavy. They were more filled out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Robust. To be fair, everyone put. on the Duck Commander 50, which is worse than the freshman 15. Well, you got to understand. Kay fed us all, you know, we had a full course meal every day. Yeah. At lunch? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:17 I don't know how y'all did that. Well, then I would sleep. Well, that's why Willie wanted to fire him. That's why he burned all his calories. I'm going to fire your brother. His dreams. Yeah. We did figure that.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Don't fire my brother. My favorite, Martin's story. is when we were playing poker, and I don't know if we were at size or Willie's, but Martin lost all his money and got up to leave, and Willie said, where are you going, son? You're still on the clock. You're on the clock. Sit back down. He was like, man, I don't want it.
Starting point is 00:02:47 And buy back in. You remember that sign? Yeah, and he said, if you ain't got the money, I'll put it on my list. Yeah, he'll take it out of your check. Willie does have a way about him of he pays you, but he somehow gets a lot of it back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's weird. Hey, work for me and gamble all your money back to me because you suck at poker.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Every time me and Willie left out, I had a... Good grief. I don't know what. The Thunder rolls. Willie, I had $100 earmark that I was just going to have to give back. That's the way my truck radio used to sound, just like that right there. Thunder? I don't know if you don't hear that.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Oh, yeah. You hear that? I'm serious. I've gone down the road and all it was in the back feet was, booboo. So I blew a speaker out because he likes it loud. That's true. Oh, wow. Was your power out this morning?
Starting point is 00:03:33 Was your power out? Okay. Did you talk about on here yet about you driving at the bridge at Willie's house? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We covered that. You can't even tell that it ever happened.
Starting point is 00:03:45 On your truck or on the bridge? No, well, you can tell it on the bridge. The bridge is still down. The truck's fine. The truck's fine. How much does it cost to make it? I ain't going to take it. You got a new truck.
Starting point is 00:03:57 What do you mean? It's expensive. It's expensive, big time. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have an eight-foot-wide truck in the bridge is seven and a half. Don't do it. Before Wheeler went through there, I just, it was right there
Starting point is 00:04:11 where it was in the curve. I didn't line it up correctly. You can go through there. You want to try it again? No. Running back? No, not after what I paid to get it fixed. I'm glad they got your speaker fixed
Starting point is 00:04:25 because they called me and said, we can't make this, we don't know that there's a speaker out because. Turn it up all the way. I said, turn it up louder. Hey, here she comes, play it last. Loud and proud, boys. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. In your truck, the speakers don't work unless it's all the way up.
Starting point is 00:04:40 No, no, I'm just saying I like to play it loud. And he blew his speakers out. What happened is the roof, you know, the sunroof that you can retract, it leaked. And that's what done the speaker. Sunroof leaking. What a leak or a leak of water got in there and blew it. Huh. Well, I was just going along listening to music and everything was fine.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And it just, like I said, it was literally, I was in a thunderstorm inside the truck. That doesn't sound like. I'll vouch for it. It was just the loudest. It sounded just like a thunderstorm. Yeah, busted speakers down the way. And it rolls, boom, and it rolls away. It was wild.
Starting point is 00:05:25 It sounds wild. It scared the piss out of me at first. We were at church. When we left church side, he turned on. He said, Philip, there's somebody in the back of my truck. Go and look and see if somebody's trying to get out. Yeah, yeah. He said, he said, he said, he was going to the truck.
Starting point is 00:05:43 You thought somebody was just hiding in the bed? Right, right. You should have made. That's what it sounded like, boom, boom, boom. And you went and looked? Yes. Of course. It's a good friend.
Starting point is 00:05:52 He said, well, no, he said, I don't, I check the back. Is it dark? In the back seat. Was it dark? No. He has a bed cover. Oh, okay. You know, those fancy rednecks, big money.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Fancy. Yeah. And them idiots, when they got that, they wanted to take, I had to crawl up in that thing. In the bed cover? Yeah. They made you. I'm claustaphobic, too.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Are you? No, and I got in there and just started. You're agile getting up in there. That's a tiny little thing. Oh, yeah. I said, guys, that piss on this. I can't, I can't. Did they lock you in there?
Starting point is 00:06:24 Well, I just, they closed the cover. They did? They closed you in? Yeah. Who? Huh? The guys. Did they say count of ten?
Starting point is 00:06:32 then come home. Yeah. The people that put the cover. Oh, okay. That sounds like an interesting. I've never had a bed cover. Me either.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I don't like I don't like clamp places. I don't either side. I don't. I think that's why I'm always falling. What? In my dreams. So we talked about that the other day.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Because I'm always, I always climb a mountain and I always get in trouble where I got to jump off a mountain to get to. Here we go. We get the dirt. But you're not in the bed of a truck.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Why are you afraid of cramped spaces? I don't know. I thought you like being like swaddled when you go to bed. Yeah. Oh, I like cover heavy as it can get. That feels like a cramped space to me. No, that's just, you can't get no air under. That's by choice.
Starting point is 00:07:22 It's so heavy. He likes giggling and weighty blank. The cover is so heavy. There's no place that is, you know, no air. going under. He gets stuck under. No, no, it's actually hard to turn over. That's how, that's how heavy the cover it.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Well, why don't we just put weights on the edge of the blanket. No, no, no, no, no, we'll work. It's got to be quilts. He likes to be swathled. All right, quilts and we'll put 45-pound weights all the way around it. Oh, you know somebody. Listen, this is making quilts right now. We could probably get you a paraphral off.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Oh, no, my wife makes them all the time. She's a quilt maker? Yeah. No, I didn't do that. Yeah, she makes them baby quits. How many baby questions it take to cover you up? I don't know. All of them.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I never tried it. Sound like a fun game. Oh, yeah. Well, it would be. What? Playtime. He's still a kid. He's still a kid.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Playtime. Playtime. It's recess. Let's go outside and play. It's recess, boys. Or go to the bed and play. Either one. Your choice.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I don't know what we're talking about. Your choice. Not much. Not much. Not my. Time out. Time out. I know every time we go somewhere on events,
Starting point is 00:08:34 size like find me some more blankets. Find me some more covers. If you got to give me the one you got on your bed. Are you cold? No, no, they put one sheet on top of the bed and then with a little thin, thin blanket. Hmm. No, it's so thin that you haven't got any weight.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Why are you so cold? Oh, old age. Blanket reviews. Have you, is this an old age thing? Oh, no, this is the old age thing? So you didn't used to be like this. No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:06 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 Tritels beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good?
Starting point is 00:09:20 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 comes from, but with Triedales 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.
Starting point is 00:09:52 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 try tails beef I know in size case Christine loves it which is just a she doesn't eat me and a big meat easier folks yeah just go to trybeef dot com slash that's try beef dot com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak
Starting point is 00:10:30 What's your favorite material? How's that? Hi, silk. Silk? Oh, no, I had that jacket that had the big black and red dragon on it. That was a silk, yeah. I feel like silk is the exact opposite of what you've been talking. That thing cost me like quilt and silk.
Starting point is 00:10:48 A grand. That jacket cost a thousand dollars back then? Yeah. Subtle flex. Yeah. What dragon jacket is this? You don't know the dragon jacket? Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Oh, that's what got me in my wife. What? Yeah. She said it wasn't a dragon, but it was the dragon. Actually, you said it was the way I was strut. So this was back in the day? Time out. You're who ain't needed.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Is this a Sukajan jacket? You can't see it, but I'm a player. Look up a S-U-K-I-J-A-N jacket. It's a Japanese or Vietnamese jacket. Oh, no, somebody sent me one, but it. That one was not. Hey, no, Vietnam had them beat. He got this jacket in Vietnam.
Starting point is 00:11:32 And then you were walking out. This is what I'm talking about. The streets. That was weird. The streets of what? Massachusetts and Ms. Christine saw you? I think this is exactly what I'm thinking of.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I was going to the club. You still have it? No. Oh, no. I wore it out. And we've looked everywhere for it. Oh, no, look. I wore it out.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And it took. I literally, I literally, it's just, now see, all that's too much. This was solid black. Let me see, Johnny D. I'm just amazed that I've looked high and low for this thing for four years now and then General Vintage comes in and says the name of it Is that what it is like that type of jacket, the Suka John jacket?
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah, but it's just the jacket was solid black Yeah, a big giant red flame throwing dragon on it Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. They're very sought after in the vintage world. Oh yeah, well get on it. Look this thing look like this but it. Yeah, look up. It was Suka John, Ventz, S-U-K-I-J-A-N.
Starting point is 00:12:33 This thing was pure silk, so it's ultra-light, okay, and felt just so good. Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. So, I mean, I used to, I literally, it fell off of me just from the threads. That's because you wore it every day. I did. It's a souvenir jacket. Did you pick it out, Tsai? Huh?
Starting point is 00:12:55 Did you pick it out? Oh, yeah, I think it sounds like that. Did you pay a thousand U.S. dollars or a thousand dongs? Huh? Did you? Well, it may have been, it may have been the don't.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It was a thousand dollars. It's a thousand dollars. Yeah. Well, I think the exchange rate changes that up a little bit. We're 12 bucks. I'll say the exchange rate does change it out. So it looked like this tiger jacket, which that would have been what I would have.
Starting point is 00:13:22 That's Rocky's jacket. But it had a red tiger? No. That's the thing. It was black. Didn't have none of the ribbon-looking crap. The jacket was solid black, and then it had a red dragon. 10% off.
Starting point is 00:13:36 10% off, got to get it. Si, Roberson. Jacob, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find that jacket. So it just has a dragon on the back. Big red dragon. Somebody sent one that was... This is really beautiful. It really was.
Starting point is 00:13:53 It wasn't the jacket. It wasn't the jacket, but it was close. I can find you one. It might take me a little. while just to find the size and everything if you want an original one. I don't think you can find one. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:14:06 I don't know. I don't think you can find one like that one. Okay. I'm serious. I really don't. Okay. If I know anybody to do it. Hey, that was the only one I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Yeah. They're rare. That's what I'm saying. To see them now. Well, that's because they went out of style. Yeah, but I'm just saying a Vietnam War. Yeah, I'm saying a. Both of them put too much junk on it.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Yeah, there's a lot of ones with all types of stuff. Yeah. They'll have stuff embroidered down the sleeves, their names on it. We don't want that. Depending on what they were a part of, they'll have it on the chest. Yeah. We don't want that. We just need a black silk jacket with a gigantic.
Starting point is 00:14:49 We just came up. We just came out to a currency conclusion. How much is a thousand dongs? Guess. I want to give you a guess. $4? No, no, no. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Just guess. It's not $4. Currency rate. Well, I'll let your friend, Mr. McMillan, share the conversion rate. Oh, my word. It was like a nickel. It wasn't a thousand Vietnamese dung. It wasn't on nickel.
Starting point is 00:15:19 It's 3.8 cents. Oh, with tax. Ooh, that's fancy. That's a real nice, that you got there. What year was that? That's this year. No, well, that ain't right. Back then it was worth one.
Starting point is 00:15:33 This was the 60s, don't he? 68. How many dollars? I don't know how to look that up. But if the jacket was $1,000, you'd need roughly all the dongs. See, wait, you got to, hey, you got to realize, okay. This thing, it was tailored fitted. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:49 It was Taylor made. It was made. It was made. They took your measurements and everything. That's what I'm saying. It was customizable. Roughly 25 million Vietnamese. dog.
Starting point is 00:15:59 That's about right. I'd buy that jacket for that. Oh, no. Oh, anybody would. I'm telling you it would drop bed gorgeous. It really would. Actually, I think I would. I wore it until it literally fell off of my back.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Did you comb your hair in? Did you comb your hair in? Like Fonzie. I'll have to comb my hair. Noise making, noise making. I guess it was. I get excited when you bring the women. Women.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Yeah. Well, Jacob, find us that jacket. If you need more Vietnamese dong, call me. There's some buried in size yard. We'll get millions of them for you. You still have money buried in your yard? No. That's a good call.
Starting point is 00:16:44 We dug it all up. And any mood is building. Okay, just checking. But one day I might take a shovel to your yard. Oh, but I got a good story about that. What? One of my cousins. They had $10,000 between them.
Starting point is 00:17:01 How many cousins? Well, it's the hails and the Hobbes's. How many is that per year? It was, what, three of them, I think. Three uncles. They had about $2.50. They had $10,000 between them. Yeah, they had about $33.
Starting point is 00:17:14 So look, they went wildcatting in the oil field. What's wildcatten? Yeah. How do you run the wildcat off? Drilling a whale. Oh, gotcha. And hey, it blew the top of the dairy out. So these country boys, no, no, these country boys,
Starting point is 00:17:28 was turned into instant millionaires. There's a TV show about it. They didn't, they did not handle it good. Okay, it ruined, I'm serious, it ruined one man's life.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Yeah. My uncle John, oh, hell, he lost his family because of it. You know, he just,
Starting point is 00:17:45 he went nuts, yeah. Mm. He didn't know what to do. And that, that was the story? Where'd that? Well, no,
Starting point is 00:17:53 no. Because they had money married? No, no, one of my other uncles, right? The Hobbs is, okay he took his uh sally his daughter he took out in the yard one day and said hey look when i'm dead
Starting point is 00:18:05 you need to remember this spot right here his shoulders the ground he said remember i took i brought you out here you know if you ever get in a bind for money dig here do you remember where yeah what did that square feet hey did mustang sally already give it oh yeah oh yeah i'm like a road trip No, no, no, did they make a road trip? They dug up. They dug up that old yard. It was a hundred grand in Basin jars.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Oh, I'm telling Uncle Sam. What? Yeah, it was a hundred grand in Mason's yard. They found that. And then I said, you know, the brothers got involved and said, did Dad tell you, show you any other spots? She said, no, he just said, you know, when you're in a bind, dig here. I think a Honda's, that's plenty to get you out of a bag.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Look, they dug the whole yard up, y'all. We come by the one day. They took a track hole or a back hole and dug the whole front and backyard up completely. To be fair, if I found out, if I dug up one spot and I found $100,000, I would immediately rent a backhoe and dig up the rest of the yard just in case.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Well, no, no, they did. That's what they did. Good on it. It's a good call. They didn't find them more, but hey, It worth the risk. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Plus you got to play with the back-out. Oh, yeah. My wife's got an uncle that bought an old house to fix up, and he was taken down a wall, and he found like $10,000 worth of coins that was hidden. Didn't in the wall. In the wall. I've heard all kinds of stories about that.
Starting point is 00:19:43 They down that in Chicago. What? And I'm talking about this was millions. You think AI's good? Hey, with an em. This was millions with an emma. In the walls? In the walls.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Everywhere. everywhere. And they had them in rolls with a big rubber band on it. Just go to Chicago. You'll find it. Just go to Chicago. I had them in the mason jars with a lid on it. I don't trust the banks or governments,
Starting point is 00:20:10 but I'm not putting money in mason jars and walls. My grandfather did back in the day. He would bury it in the house. The old people didn't use to trust the bank. I don't trust the bank. I don't trust the bank either. Well, no, no. I trust the bank.
Starting point is 00:20:23 When I say they didn't trust them, They didn't put it in the money in the bank. Yeah. I don't trust. They put their money where they could get it. Wherever they said the fountain of youth was in Florida, that was a thing I learned. That was in size childhood.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Because that's like in Arizona, it's supposedly, this was the Indians, the native Indians of America. Mm-hmm. They said Arizona is the center of the universe. Arizona? Arizona. Yeah. Interesting. No, no, it is.
Starting point is 00:21:00 That's real. I mean, no offense to my friends. Hey, you can look that up. That's real. Look it up. That's just where old people go to retire that don't like Florida. Back tech. Arizona has got Indians.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Center of the universe. He said that you can look at us. Arizona somewhere. What is weird is whenever I type in center of the universe, you know how Google fills it in? Tulsa, Oklahoma comes up. Apparently a lot of people are Googling that. Okay. counter out. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Well, we don't know. We don't know anything. I don't know what's going on in Tulsa. I got a bunch of good friends in Tulsa. All right. Yeah. All right. What's the center? Is it Tulsa? I'll tell you. No, it's Arizona. We don't see what Google. They've got some like Indian houses up in the cliffs. And that is this. That's the center of the earth. Hmm. That's what they say. The center of the universe. Earth. The center of the universe. Universe. Universe. Universe is crazy. It is. That is wild.
Starting point is 00:22:02 And it's big. And like, the Lord was like, you know what? I'm going to make the middle of this. Arizona. Phoenix. Yeah. It's where Dan Marley played. I don't even know how big the university is.
Starting point is 00:22:13 And it's in Dalby, all. We don't know. But Arizona is the center. We know that. Hey, me personally. We can start there. Well, you start there. Me personally, I think it goes on forever.
Starting point is 00:22:22 You know, for a podcast about nothing, we sure do teach people a lot. No, that's why it was really, It was a, it hurt my feeling when they, Donald Trump did something with PBS. He said there was a bunch of cooks. That's not true. They got, they got, the PBS has got a lot of good things. Yeah, they really do. I think that's important for the people to hear.
Starting point is 00:22:45 No, no, I'm serious. We didn't bring back PBS. Hey, they do, they do a lot of stuff about space. Who doesn't like space? Okay, and that's always fun. Animals. I love it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:56 And then the, the, uh, water, okay, anything's got water, all the stuff that lives in water. Water's very important. Yeah, water is, yeah, no life without it. Water. Pools are great for holding water. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:11 But that's why I learned about the center of the world. So PBS. So you think we should bring back PBS? Yeah. Well, I don't know. I almost want to go down this world. Look, I have learned a lot. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Because didn't PBS get like canned? well he said they was uh oh i think some funding got taken yeah it was some kind of funding thing it was a scam scam and you say well no scam ball even though you're a you're a red-blooded american republican you say bring back PBS super damn right see why can't we all just say like you don't have to be on one side of everything yeah PBS I'm not going to say that I've told me a lot of interesting stuff because I don't know enough about PBS to even have a standpoint you know I know that it's provided this podcast many hours. That's like, hey, they've got a lily pad.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Okay. You ever heard of one of those? A lily. And look, yeah, a lily pad that is about, oh, about an eight-foot circle. Okay, a major lily pad. I mean a major lily pad. You can sleep on that little. Look, and it starts at the bottom of the ocean.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Okay. A lily pad is at the bottom of the ocean? It's ocean or a pond. And then it goes like a chute. It spouts and goes to the top of the water. So it put a life. And then when it gets on top, it starts just unfolding. Expanding.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Yeah. And this thing is like really, I'm telling me, a safe foot circle. A big blue herring can land on it and it and it won't sink. And this is PBS? Yeah. It's where he learns. It just, no, it's just. Oh, you're saying that's something you learn on people.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah, PBS. All right, look how big... What does PBS stand for? Public broadcasting service. For some reason, when anybody under the age of 25 gets in this room, size is like, time to tell them about a little channel I know about it. I will say this. Here's the Guinness World Record of Lily Pad with a kid standing on it.
Starting point is 00:25:17 How big is a massive... Ten and a half feet. Whoa. We're just learning stuff today, y'all. No, no, hey. And I'm talking about that pretty cool. If you couldn't swim, you could crawl up on that and live. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Just got to have one of those in your back pocket. Put it in the pond. Just fold it up and save it for a rainy day. Or just go to where there's living. How fast does it grow? Yeah. Well, no, no. It's like the water was 20 foot deep where it just seeds germinated.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Well, then it had to go 20 feet up. And then when it got to the top, it just started unfolding. I need to have to. Then we had a gigantic. you know, eight-foot circle of lily pad. Fun facts. Birds, birds, an alligator could crawl up on one sun. An alligator.
Starting point is 00:26:07 They don't have a weight limit. That kid's standing on it. He's like probably 40 pounds. I mean, depending on how big the alligator is, it would sink, he would, but he could lay up on it and not sink. Yeah, it wouldn't sink all the way. Eight foot, eight-foot circle, pretty good size circle. It's a big circle.
Starting point is 00:26:27 a big circle. Yeah. Yeah. We should take, I should take you to my kids' school and have you teach a science class. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, no.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I, you know. And PBS can sponsor it. Well, I was calling out science homework last night and germinate was one of the words. And Syed just threw it in there. Used it in a sentence and everything. And I didn't even know. I think you could teach.
Starting point is 00:26:47 PBS featuring Cy Robertson. It's a special. Late night PBS with Cy Robertson. It would be a hit. All I'm saying is, You want to save PBS, we got your guy in there. Brought to you by the honey hole. You got to think about, you got to think about this, though, okay.

Starting point is 00:36:53 Yeah. No way to blink. No, no. That'd be hard to catch a polar bear. Luckily, they send coax up there about once a year. Well, no, no. Look. And a scarf with Coca-Cola on.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Hey, and not over that. A quilt. And a quilt. Anything that smart, he'll hunt you back. Yeah. You hunt him? Hey, there doesn't have no polar bear. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:37:11 He'll sneak up on you and hunt you. Hey, we went to Alaska. Me inside, Ed, to be with Franklin. Graham. So anyway, we went looking at the bears out there, and one guy in the group, they let him carry a pistol. I mean, it was a bear stopper.
Starting point is 00:37:28 You know what I mean? It wasn't a judge. No, but I couldn't get away from the bear. I mean. A bear stopper? Yeah. Is that what they call it? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:37:36 A 440 magnum. Is that what it was? Is that a judge? The most powerful handgun. Oh, no. That was a big gun. It's like a mega gun. The most powerful handgun made.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Oh, let's see. But you've got to have something because if they get after you, it's over. Well, no, no. See, that's nothing. A grizzly bear, okay, people, you know, they don't ever see one up close. Have you? Oh, yeah. Up close?
Starting point is 00:38:03 Yeah. Yeah. I come in. We drop down and landed in, and anchors your last one. I went to Vietnam. Okay. Okay. They didn't have any jet things that, you know, ramps that you,
Starting point is 00:38:17 You plane pull up. You had to get out, walk out, stairs, and go in. Well, as soon as you walk inside, you had to turn a corner. Well, hey, they, guess where they put a giant grizzly bear? Holy stuffed. I tell where you're coming around the corner. And I've seen this. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:38:34 This thing, hey, this thing is 14 feet tall. I saw this bear. A dead bear. Yeah. But it was still an encounter. He didn't know it was dead for a second. Hey, he's 14 feet. tall, okay, look his claws.
Starting point is 00:38:50 They look like, you know, every one of them looked like they were at least 12, 14 inches long. Oh, my gosh. Okay, look, he can break a elk's neck, just one pat. Look it up. They can. No, he goes to Stone's Jiu-Jitsu classes.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Yeah. They're all right. It's unreal. No, yeah. I've seen the revenant. I don't want to get a fight number. I want to see a video of it breaking the elk's neck. Well, you've got to figure.
Starting point is 00:39:17 That's what he is. That would be cool. It's wildlife. You ever seen that Instagram page called like Nature is Metal? I have. It's pretty good. Yeah, it posts some crazy stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Oh, no, no. It shows you just how brutal. That's what I'm saying, life in nature. Their life is. So I's got to get on Instagram. We have to do size science. I tagged you on Instagram. Science was science.
Starting point is 00:39:41 You didn't say anything back. Science was science. That's why I would love to be able to go to Saturn. Okay. And I want to land on Saturn. A grizzly bear makes you want to land on Saturn? Yeah, no, no. I want to see.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Now you're figuring it out. I want to see what the... The Mayo's got to figure it out. I want to see what the planet looks like because you can't, you can't ever see the planet because it's always raining and cloudy. How far away is Saturn? It's far. 794.34.3.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Really like this. Million miles. I don't think you're going to make it there, by now. How long does it take to get to the million? I was fixed. How long would it take us to get there? We would have. It all probably be dead. People also ask. We'd have to be teleported. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Instantly. With current technology, it takes anywhere from roughly three to six years. Just to get there. Okay. That ain't that, man. We can make it. No, no, no. Hold on. That is a wide swath of time. That is a long time. If I'm like going on a road trip and I'm like, how long is this going to take? And they're like, your kid will either be 14 or graduated high school by the time you get done. I'm not going. That's crazy. You want to go, sir? No.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Okay. I would love to see it, though. I'll FaceTime you when I get there. Well, I ain't going to, I ain't a space traveler. Me neither. You don't want to be Buzz Aldridge? No, I'm not that adventurous. Have you seen those new spaceships for like, you probably have the money?
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah. It's a lot of money. They will take you to space and you're in space for like 20 minutes and then they'll drop you back down. I don't believe that's a scam. Scam. Scam. Scam. Scam.
Starting point is 00:41:17 How is that a scam? It's a scam. It's a scam. It's a scam. So I said you're not a real. If you just go up and then come right back down. All they don't is just get above the... Dude perfect, did that?
Starting point is 00:41:28 Uh-huh, one of them. Really? Uh-huh. Did a video of it? Oh, yeah, I had to watch it ten times. No, you did. Well, no, because I see the one where the... How much does it cost?
Starting point is 00:41:36 Oh, okay, so you're going to... How many don't... How many don't... It's the can't... All of them. That's all the dogs. It's a scam. I don't think it's a scale.
Starting point is 00:41:46 It is. It is. It is. Scamps. You're 100% of... Hey, no, yeah, because they charge you an absorbable amount. Absorbent. All right, we got it.
Starting point is 00:41:58 A lot of money. What's it called blue space? Just to go up and say, okay, I went in and out of space and then come back down. The exact cost for a blue origin space flight is not publicly disclosed, but they must pay a $150,000 deposit to just reserve a spot. Get that back if you make it alive. Have you got a $150,000 just a reserve a spot? Hey, what's the conversion rate on $150,000 on the Vietnamese dongs? I ain't got it.
Starting point is 00:42:28 I ain't got it. It'd be a lot. Good gracious. $150,000 down. Yeah. That's just the reserves of spot. Ben, they ain't really said how much it's going to cost them. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:40 This person says anywhere around $200 to $300,000. You can buy a house or you can be in space for 10 minutes. Those are your choice What's your choice What's your choice? Which one are you doing? It's a scam Scam
Starting point is 00:42:54 Okay let's pretend it's not a scam Just for a minute And you may not even be going anywhere You may just may be like simulation You just think it's Disney World? Yeah you think they're going up Spinning you around And like putting you on

Starting point is 00:44:11 Cammal. All this moonwalk bullfrey. Moonwalk bullfress. Scam. Scam. Scam. That's where they... They did the moonwalk bull crap.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Uh-oh, scam. But you just said you want to go to Saturn. You don't even think we made for the moon? For the record, I'm with him. Well, no, no. I just, yo, you got to look at this with what, the open mind. Very open. It seems like it. You really do.
Starting point is 00:44:38 You know, it may be true. Okay. But if it's not. No, no. Yo, but it's one of them things. It's like the story of Jesus. Wait. You know, it's just
Starting point is 00:44:51 True. It's so good. No, scam. Yeah, it's so good. Yeah. Could it possibly be true? Yes. I know one of them's true.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Well, with that, I say yes. But with the moon landing? With the space thing? With the blue space? Yeah, with the space thing? Scam. Scam. Have you ever just like really stared at a full moon for like 30 minutes?
Starting point is 00:45:18 Yeah, and then a house? Oh, no. I've done that a lot. Have you? In my career. Yeah, because you had to, hey, take, like, night watch. Oh, yeah. And just thought, like, hey, people have been there.
Starting point is 00:45:29 I can't get it. Do you think the earth is flat? No, it's real. Do you think dinosaurs are real? Yeah. Of course they are. I'm just asking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:36 I'm trying to see if I have any more, he has any more fun. Well, no, no, no. They didn't fit on the arc. You got to look at that. They got places in California that, you know, you can see one. You know, I don't know if it's real or something. They just put it in there to make it. New scam.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yeah. But probably that part of it just may be a scam. But no, no. But the thing about it is, that's where all of our oil and stuff come from. Is all the dead rotting dinosaur? And your cousin hit it. No, and giant lizards, baby. He drilled into it.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Wild cat. Wild cat. Wow, cat. Woo. Well, but just think it, you're, you saved the bunny, and then you risk it. And hit the biscuit. Yeah. Then you eat the biscuit.
Starting point is 00:46:19 biscuit. I mean, you, hey, you got all the biscuits you'll ever want. You can get great. It is true that you have to risk it to get. Oh, yeah. You got to be a gambler. I don't know about that, but you got to be a risk taker. Ask you that.
Starting point is 00:46:34 No, no, you got to be a gambler. You saved that money. You worked hard for it. And then gamble it away. Risk it. I'm on, I'm going to gamble on. I'm going to drill right here. So you need an ace king.
Starting point is 00:46:46 You're going to gamble it right there. Yeah, I'm on drill right here on. my property. I'm going to hit the nuts. And hey, and hopefully it blows the top of the tariff out. Then you hear that rumble under the ground. And then you call your family and you hear a bunch of hits. Hey, then you hear a bunch of hissing. And then all of a sudden that black gold starts shooting up top of that. If that happens to me, I'm going to call your phone and go, Uncle Sa, I hit the nuts. Hit the nuts on me. It's all flowing out of the top. I don't know how we got here. We're going to space because I hit the next.
Starting point is 00:47:19 I don't care how much money. We can pay for it. I'm not going to space. We can pay for it now. Hey, if somebody would pay for it, I'd go. Ladies and gentlemen, hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't know that you're. I'm not going to say that.
Starting point is 00:47:35 You have to sign a waiver for that? Yeah, you definitely have. Oh, hey, no, he can do it. You think you would make it? You think you could do it? I would probably cry like a baby when I was up there. No, could you have? I'm worried about your emotion.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Could you handle it? Physical health? This is an emotional thing, though. I agree with that. But physically, could you handle it? Like, it's a bunch of G forces. A lot of G's. A lot of G's.
Starting point is 00:47:57 We'll take you to Disney World. Probably would take it. And put you on that ride for it. We'll put you on a heart monitor and just check it all the way up. They're going to make you do stuff. That wouldn't help because, hey, you know. If you're going to go out that way, you need to drive that car, that funny car you want to drive. Well, I think it'd be way cooler to do it in space.
Starting point is 00:48:15 I don't know. Uncle's side. way I wanted to go out is the way to do it. Uh-oh. Have you heard how silence is around? Hey, get it in a drag racer, okay. This thing has got natural fuel. And we've got a guy that owns one of them.
Starting point is 00:48:29 He's already said I can do it. He said he could drive it. And I said, well, I like to wait until the doctor tells me I'm on my way out. I said, then I'm going to do it. I'm going to, number one, I'm going to break the world's fast record. It's the doctor. No. And I said, here's asking him.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I said, when I crossed the finish line, them two bicycle tires, when it goes across the finish line, that natural engine is going to blow up and send me to heaven. I think you're hard. And I was running 390 miles an hour. Your neck might break. Yeah. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:49:06 He won't need it. It blew me to heaven. I don't want to need it. That oxygen machine won't be able to keep up with that ride. That's right. Well, he don't want to be kept up. That's right. Well, of all the things we talked about today, I'm really not.
Starting point is 00:49:16 sure. A lot of scams, a lot of truths. Scam. Scam. But yeah, I'll get you some tickets. Well, you gotta be a lorry of all the scams. Get us all tickets. But I do know this one to be true. Genesis 116. This is the only thing I know about space that is 100% true. Okay, well lay it on me. God made two great lights. The greater light to cover in the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault to the sky to give light on the earth to govern the day and the night and to separate light from darkness, and God saw that it was good.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Not a scam. Not a scam. You were created. Yeah, that's right. And so is the space that we may or may not have been to. I've always told them. Like I told the boys up there in San Quentin, all of you need to turn around and look up at that big ball we call the sun.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Nobody's been there for sure. I knew, I know the man that hung that. That's right. Maybe Jesus. Right. His power sustains. it. Martin's better at this.
Starting point is 00:50:17 If this power holds it where it's got to be or we'll all be dead, we'll either burn up or freeze the death, if it didn't stay just exactly where it was. I don't want to freeze the death. That'd be way to bad. If you have a weighted blanket, I don't want to burn either. You might not freeze.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I don't want to, you know what I want to do? And if you're in the center of the world. I want to go to heaven. We hope to see you all there. See you next time right here in the duck call. That's it.
