Well, we are back. Welcome to the duck call. I'm tangled up. Here we go. John's tangled up. He's over here roping. Oh, he's in the wire, boys. Too many wars over here.

Too many wars. All right, boys, hey, I'm looking at something here, Stone. What's going on with the cage over there? Before I explained that, I'm also looking at something. You and Philip are wearing the same shirt. Oh, well, yeah. Philip's going to wash it for a gift. Here's what you get out of that.

Hey, here's what you get out of that. great minds think I like. Thank you, Sine. That's it, boy. Philip, you didn't call him and tell him to wear that service. We didn't get the call. No, I'll tell you the reason I'm wearing it. I'll tell you the reason I'm wearing it.

The only clean shirt? No, no. I got out of bed this morning. Okay. He picked it off off. No, no. I got out of bed. I slept in this morning.

I got out of bed at 9.30, okay, because I was sitting there, laying there at time of night. I worked out yesterday. Okay. I started on a workout day, boy. Uh-oh. With my cuby. Okay. So,

hey, I got up. What is that? Okay, got me a glass of tea. Explain the guy in what you're... Well, Cuby is a,

it's like a bicycle. Okay, but it's, you set it on the floor and you work out in your, in your recliner. Does it have handlebars?

No. No. Does it have wheels? You just pet it. No, and it goes from a setting of one, okay, the resistance,

one to eight. So I set mine halfway. No, he's got a chain off of it. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no. I'm on four. Okay, so look, I sit there for like 30 minutes, you know, getting ready. I said, okay, how do I need to do this?

I said, well, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to do three, 10 minute exercise, okay, you know, of pedaling to QB. And then while I'm waiting, relaxing, okay, I've got three pounds weight in each hand, and I do five repetitions, I mean, five different things with 30 reps. Oh, that's pretty good. Did you put him on that Stone? No. No, no, no, no.

He's the one that got me on it, okay, because I said, well, I need to work out, get rid of this belly. He's self-motivated. And then, okay, and I'm also eating oatmeal for breakfast. There we go. Okay. Good for your cholesterol. Heart healthy. Hell, good for your cholesterol.

So, you know, because Stone, now he gets up at 5 a.m. And does cardiac. Cardio. Cardiac. Cardiac. Cardiac. All right. Look, hey, yeah.

But anyway, that's the reason I changed shirts. Because, hey, I've done there. I've done my workout. And it was a total of 45 minutes. Because while I was five minutes of relaxing, I'm actually doing the weight thing, okay? Five different things. So when I got it to do, I said, good grief. I told me a woman, I said, Christine, turn that fan on, turn her over here.

I said, I don't work up a sweat. You know, my T-shirt, the one I had, I don't remember what it was. Oh, yeah. Precision. Yeah, you're Texas precision. Yeah. My Texas precision. Hey, this thing was soaking wet.

So I took it off, okay, and put some diodorant on, and then put me on a big t-shirt. I'm glad you did that. That's the reason I got the duck call room. Well, let me ask you this. Do you feel better? No, no. And I actually, that's the good thing about this.

Okay, because I had this over there. I had my oxygen on over there. And Christine said, well, as you get done, you know, you need to get on your auction. I didn't need to. So it actually, and look, and I felt good after I'd done it. Okay. Well, that's worth doing. Well, no, no, it is.

So now I'm going to do this five days a week. Wow. That's good. Because I'm going to get rid of this. I'm impressed. I'm impressed. And, hey, plus I'm going to get my weight down to my fighting weight, about 160. There you go.

So I got about five and a half pounds ago. I lost about 20 pounds. Well, how did you go on that weight watchers deal? Well, no, no. He's on the slim slow. I've seen it. I'm in the grocery store. I'm barcode and I'm zapping him thing.

Tells me how many points stuff he is. Yeah, okay. That's a good. Hey, look. You need all kind of crap. Overweight is dangerous. Okay. Oh, he's looking at me and you when he says.

No, no, I'm just telling you, overweight is dangerous for your heart. It's the silent killer, side. Well, I'm not serious. It really is. Now, okay. So the fact that it makes you feel better is worth good. I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited that Uncle Si's self-moving.

I am too. I'm planning on making it. He has made a 180. I fixed the plan on making it to 100 years ago. Don't forget, Sire. These three guys, we saw you when we were calling in the family. We're like, hey, y'all need to get on over here, so I ain't doing it. That's why I said, I'm going to make it a bond.

He's back. He's making it to him. What he's doing it, he's getting himself ready for. hunting season. Okay. That's good. He's proud of you. He's 100% correct. Okay. That's right. Hey, you know, number one, I want to kill that big old cat.

Okay. We may catch him. I may not have to kill him. Stone's got to kill him because he said he ain't coming up there closest cave. There's a big trap and a little trap. There's a big trap and little trap. Little trap for little cats and big trap for big cats. So what we got here? Stone is six, Jay. What do we got here?

All right. So there have a big trap. So there have been some sightings on Phil's property. There's been a pitcher or two on the deer cat. And I'm excited about it. So I got with my buddy over here at the feed mill, and I said, I need a trap big enough to catch a bear. A big cat. Yep.

He said, what kind of cat is a bobcat? I said, no, mountain line. That's right. Or the Mexican jacket. Mexican. So I had no idea that they even made something this big. And by the way, Phil paid for it. He just don't know it yet.

He's going to find out if he watches this podcast. He wants to know what's out there. Miss Kay is going to be calling me, what is this miscellaneous on here? If it's not, you know, WD. If it's not fertilizer or millet, you know, he says, well, what is this? I agree. It looks pretty pricing. If he boxed on you, I'll pay for it.

Okay. That's good. That's good. We're going to pay for the thing. All right. So what we have here is a genuine live trap for big animals. Now, as you can say, you have a big cage and a little cage. Yeah.

Now, the little cage attaches to the back of this big cage. Now, you can put whatever you want in it. I'm going to go with a chicken. Chicken. I'm going to go with a live chicken. Now, some people might say poor little chicken. You know, you know what, when I get done with him, I'm going to eat him, okay, if that makes you feel any better. So you put the chicken in the cage, in the little cage, attached little cage to the big cage.

Well, Bobcat, now, I'm going to say this too. Uncle Siah seen a panther, and the neighbor next door, he has claimed to see a wolf, which either a wolf, the way he put it was, either a wolf. There's some strange sightings. or strange people down there. Or the world record coyote. Or the world record coyote. Or it may be a big dog. Or a big husky.

So you attach that cage here, put your chicken or whatever in it. And you put this thing out. Oh, here we go. Well, he says, I got to get to that chicken. He got to get to the chicken. One way or the other. He's making a trap. He's in the trap.

He tries outside first, can't get in. He comes in. He puts his weight. on this little deal right here. Uh-oh. Yeah. And then he backs out. That's right.

There he goes. Oh, no. That's my, I had the bar. He's going to hit that. There we go. He had, he had,

I had the mechanism. Shoot it towards you. Yeah, there we go. It's going to hit his desk. I had the mechanism blocked off it. Yeah. So he comes in, steps on this. Uh-oh.

Oh. He's caught, boys. He caught. He's caught. He ain't getting out. He ain't getting out of that. And that's even locks at where he. can't pick it up and get it under it won't yeah it's pretty come that's thinking right there

and i asked don't know what you're going to do when when you how you're going to handle it when you get him you know to get him out depends on what it is oh yeah that's right that's right now if it's somebody's dog i'll let him out and put him in the truck take him back to the owner but if it's a uh a a j a panther i'm calling wildlife and fisher's and uncle sigh right here uncle sigh first you've been vindicated boys yeah yeah i see that's it it. We've got proof. We fix it has some fun with this.

And y'all, and y'all can follow along on Duck Commander's YouTube page where our podcast used to be. See what we catch in this thing. And we will be giving updates on the big cat hunt. The big cat house. Wow! I'm excited about this. I really am.

Jay, are you going to put a camera up where are you going to have the cage? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm going to put one of them cameras that have come back. your cell phone. Yeah, because, hey, I don't know if, yeah, I don't know if the, the, the Jaguar, he's going to be dumb enough to come in there. Oh, he's going to, he's going to get that check.

Well, if he's already getting an excuse. Well, no, no, I'm just saying, no, no, I'm just telling how slick they are. Okay, because, hey, look, I told you about the scientists that, hey, he's, they had one picture of this small cat. Well, he set out 1,000 trail cams. This is in the Amazon jungle. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Oh, yeah. Look, I said this is true story. I read this, okay? And it took him 12. No, no, hold it. But it took him 12 years, but he got another picture of that cap. And look, it was that night. Took him 12 years with a thousand trail counts.

Well, I'm going to be a bet, man. I'm going to say it's going to take one night to get a picture of something trying to eat that chicken. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's true. Oh, yeah, there's too many critters down. That's a lot of critters. All right. Well, let's take a break.

We'll be right back. All right. Look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cooking. And y'all know. We love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedells beef makes such a good product, baby.

Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao 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 Tritails 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 tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season,

go check out Triedails Beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash. Duck.

Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. All right. So we're back. did a little demonstration on the cage there demonstration it's going to work I'm fully confident in it so the neighbor says we got a wolf uncle size says we got a mountain line so now we're going to figure out we're going to figure out exactly what we got and I and if I don't if I remember correctly Martin said that when we catch it he will pay for the taxidermist to mount it all right

Remember that that's important. Yeah. Okay. Martin's picking up the bill for having me now. And then he's going to set it right here so Uncle Si can look at it. That's right. Hey, Mexican Jaguar. Stay tuned for that.

We'll be a, we're on the hunt for the big cat. It's on the hunt. So last time we had Ms. Paula here, that was a treat. No, no, it was. I enjoyed her being here. Really was. She's a good guest. I get to look at that every day.

every day. And she's very knowledgeable about stuff. We even discussed, you know, how everybody met. Yeah. Yeah. Which was very interesting. Yeah. I finally found out the truth how Nan and Stone met.

Yeah. The real, the real story. And also that me and Macmillan were next to our neighbors for, what, in seven years. Everybody lived down there. And I went to his house one time. Yeah. Everybody went down there. I told the wife, I said, that guy next door, I don't know about him.

they over having I never talked to the man he said he lived down there right on the same street but he left a buffer I remember when I built my house Macmillan come up me and said hey you're building house here I'm like yeah he said

if you don't mind leave a buffer of trees in between me and you he's in there talking smack you're building a house on your property I said he wanted because he didn't know what I was going to build you know so he didn't want to look at whatever I had going on

So he said, please leave a buffer of trees. I said, okay, whatever. All I remember is, I didn't know Jay, but he would catch a lot of fish, apparently, because he'd be bringing in the fish and out there clean them a lot. That's the way I was in the military. Where I stayed, everybody would look, tell me, good grief. That boy's catching tons of fish. We had Godwin and me and an owl.

And stone. Yeah, and stone. We all live right there. And we had the men's Bible group, and sigh would come. over to it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think, Jay,

you may have came over there once. Yeah, I did. Twice or whatever. Yeah. That's wow. Yeah, I didn't even know. He knew Paula and John. Yeah.

And then that's where he stayed for a while. Yeah. You know, and that's how him and then fell in love. You were living with John and Paula? Yeah, you know the name of that road? Hold on. Your address was there for 10 years.

I know, hold on. I got to think for a second. Well, it was John. I ain't telling. It's probably something we got love. Hey, what's love got to do Wellspring. Wellspring, yeah. Well, spring.

Well, I got that. I all named it. That's right. From that very side of the Bible. Well, I remember that. We had a dedication of the land. Living water. Yeah. Now, right next to us was Easy Street.

Remember that? I told people I didn't live on Easy Street, but I wasn't far from it. That's right. That's where Fortenberry's lived down there at the end of the Easy Street. That's right. I guess my street, where I guess my street, was named hard knocks it definitely wasn't easy

street boys so we uncle sigh is on an exercise program we're all set to catch the big cat what else we got where jr I want to know where y'all went this weekend did you get a new scope for one of your guns yesterday did oh yeah we talked about that

the other day yeah I did yes I got a new map 308 okay 308 810 AR 10 in an AR10 platform custom built custom built with optics and okay we actually filmed the mounting of it getting everything lined out

everything straight we do a little deal for tune up Tuesday so yeah yeah so it's good but we do have new guns and I can't wait that's why I can't wait that's why I'm getting in shape because I can't wait till dear season open up I know there's a lot of exciting things for you to get ready for oh no I know so what's going on in the news

Is anything worth going on in the news? I don't look at the news ever. I try not to myself. Well, I try to, you know, I can't watch it on television. It makes me mad. Okay. Can't do it. Yeah.

Can't do it. Can't do it. I need to start walking myself talking about exercising. Well, yeah. Because I'm fission to go up there to Wyoming. Deer hunting. There ain't no air up there. Okay.

Ain't no air, boy. Hey, it ain't like down here. Oh. It's flat landing. He gets winded up there. But there was, when we got there last year, in the archery range, a mountain line beside one of them targets. I said, look at there, Martin, if I shoot or are you going to go retrieve my errors? He said, no.

No. Well, that's like MacOas, where he lives. I think Colorado, he sees them all time in his yard. It's like the song. They're everywhere. everywhere. So that's why I'm saying, there's big cats down here.

If you've got hundreds of miles of timber and I'm mainly talking about the pine tree and we've got a lot of it in Louisiana and look, I'm talking about you can't even walk through it until they bring in a logging crew

and cut you some lanes. Otherwise, yeah. So you can't tell me what's out there in them woods. No, you can't see. Yeah. You can't even walk to it? I'll tell you one thing there's a lot of that I noticed during both seasons is mosquitoes. Oh, yeah.

He's like him dogs. Oh, those are horrible. Ticks flees and they have to sleep with it. Sound effects, boys. You know, Louisiana's famous for their mosquito population. And the further south you get, the bigger the mosquitoes get. Well, Texas ain't, you know, Texas, you know, y'all went over to, Houston for Blue Wing Teal hunting and talking about y'all like to get carried off with the

mosquitoes we went to the Neshobie county fair for my wife's birthday over the weekend say that 10th century oh listen and over at mississippi yep it was it was awesome the place where we went yeah they have a fair there every year and and it runs for a one week solid and they have a midway and all the rides set up and there's different games and arch and crafts and rodeos and everything. It's all family-oriented. And so we gave the chief a big, big box of calls and stuff that you had in the letter that you wrote him. So that was a great event. We loved being there. And the mosquitoes weren't too bad. For some reason, maybe they're maybe they sprayed or something. Yeah, that's a pretty place. We went over there. We was in

Mississippi for an event. So that's where Si, that's where I wanted to learn how to play the drums, the bongo. Oh, no. no, no, no, that was, hey, them things are beautiful, handmade, okay? Indian drums, handmade, okay? They're made out of deer hide, okay, for the, for the, for the, what actually in, you know, and leather. And you can actually, what was cool, you know, we got to food with it. And he said, why, if you're on a little softer, you know, just, you know, they got leather. Well, they just move it down the rope a little bit, make it softer. No, that's on TV only.

tune it. It costs about three grand. I'm actually thinking about buying one. I really am because it's a beautiful piece of actually, you know, they've handmade it for kind of things. I imagine that'd be a little easier to learn than the guitar. Absolutely.

Oh, no, it is because I ain't learned a guitar yet. Hey. Hey, but you've been songwriting. Did you tell Stone about? Well, no. Oh, yeah. I am in the process of writing me and a buddy man. Like a Jay's face.

No, no, of writing, it's a gospel song. And hey, if we finish it and get it recorded, it will be a number one. Because it's just that good. It's just that good, boys. Keep us up. I hope you're right. Yeah. I'll be rooting for you.

That's right. Well, anything about Jesus is good. That's right. That's the right answer to everything. That's the bottom of it. Yeah. Yeah. So, y'all got anything that we can talk about today?

I mean, we're reaching here. What do y'all want to talk about? Nobody watches the news. Nobody watches. I've been watching the Olympics. Everything's bad. Yeah, it's hard. It's depressing.

Yeah. It's depressing to watch the news. Matter of fact, for people watching a podcast, if you're involved in all this, hey, write something good or show something good once in a while on the news. Yeah.

Yeah. It's hard to keep watching it. Oh, he's right. It's depressing. It is. But, you know, we try out of a lot. speaking and you probably see this too side america's awesome going all over the place

that's the funnest thing that come out of the show well you know people don't have the right perspective on things so well let's dive into that after the break let's take a little break side do you like my shirt yeah I do number one has got jesus on it and he's got the devil by you know chocke oh boy's got him choke oh it says Jesus has your back that's right boys

And once you get them in Juditha, if you get them in the back, hey, they're going down. But, hey, look, John made a good point a while ago, okay, about when we go out, look, guys, you know, if you listen to your local news, okay, the media, all they ever report is bad stuff, so it'll give you a negative view of America. Hey, look, America's still the greatest country in the world. Hey, they eat. Amen. Okay. And look, you know, and there's still a lot of good people out there, okay, people that are doing good things for other people.

Way more good than bad. Yeah, absolutely. Now, that's not being reported. It's not being reported. That's the bad thing. Okay. So, hey, you know, because when we're out, like John said, everywhere we go, there's good people helping other people that needs help. That's right. And that's what America has always been about.

especially the greatest generation ever, which was my father's generation. Okay, because, and I'm going to tell you why they was the greatest generation, okay. There's only really two commandments God gives the human race. That's to love him with all your strength, mind and body and soul. Okay, and then go horizontal and love your neighbor as yourself. Well, here's the thing why my dad, and his people were the greater generation.

They lived that daily. That sums up to tank a man. Yeah, I'm serious. They really did. That greater generation really did. They lived them to principles to the max. That's just the way they were. Yep.

For crying out loud. They were always prepared to serve and work extremely hard. No, no. Which are not. Which is not a... in the human race's vocabulary today, sadly to say. Or being loyal to something.

But it's still the greatest country in the world, boys. America is. You know, many people trying to get here. Why are they trying to get here? Because, hey, it's still the greatest country. Well, yeah. Yeah.

Even today, you know, in the media, is the reason why I'm not the only person. A lot of people have quit watching the news. quit watching sports because it's divisive, it's uncomfortable, and I used to have a say in the media, sex sales, well nowadays it's fear sales. So everything you see is racist, is divisive, they're trying to divide and conquering.

Get you scared. So, you know, I just had a gut full of it, so I just, you know, I can't even look at it anymore. I'm the same way. and Jesus said, you'll know my people by their love, one for another. For each of other. Yeah.

I mean, that's what we're about. I hate to listen to a bunch of divisive stuff. And really, I mean, it almost tries to snuff your joy out, John. You know what I mean? Yeah. The sad part is, you know, our kids are looking at that, you know, with everything's so easy to look at these days with the cell phones and it's rather tip your fingers.

And I hate to say it, but, the evil one is is behind 90% of it. That's right. And it's, it's tough for kids these days. Listen, if you, if you have kids and you're not familiar with your cell phones and social media and stuff like that,

I mean, when it first came out, I really didn't know that much about it. But what we started doing, once we heard enough bad stuff, is we took everybody's phone when they got home. You're talking about the children's home, right? Well, yeah, well, that and my own home. Okay.

We put, we made everybody put their phone on the bar and if they needed to use them in the evening they come and sit at the bar and use it you know what i mean we had to make some rules because these were things that me and my wife weren't familiar with and and at the home where i worked we stopped them all together no no wifi no social media well here's the bad thing about what you're saying okay it's impossible is that no one used when they invented the cell phone it was invented for a good purpose if your wife was on the road and the car broke down she could call somebody to come to help her. Okay.

But now, nobody says hello. They don't talk on the phone anymore. It's become a computer. It's a typewriter. They text each other from right now. The art of communication is going to the dogs. Absolutely. That's why divorce rates are up, all this stuff.

Let me tell you what we did this weekend. We left our phones at the hotel, you know, where we stayed at the, whatever the name of the place was, the moon or whatever it is. the one we stayed at. We left our phones, and the whole weekend, we didn't fool with our phones, we didn't look at, we, we were just together, and it was different because we had to talk to each other, you know?

And you didn't miss it. And I liked it. Just like a couple that, when we went to see Brooks and Dunn, you know, was it Ronnie? That was telling you. Yeah. He was like, him and his wife are in the same room texting each other, so they ain't got to talk.

They're sitting on the same couch for crying out loud. Good grief. And I said, Ronnie, they're getting. a divorce. Okay, and I said Ronnie, did you ever think that may be the reason you're getting a divorce is because you're sitting on one end of the couch? She's on the other, and you're not talking to

each other. You're texting on your phones for crying out loud. I remember we'd go eat. Remember we'd go eat lunch? And everybody set their phone in the middle. And whoever answered had to pay for lunch. There you go. That's a good one. That way, we'd

talk to each other. Hey, look it. We're going negative. they told me before we started this we got a lot of good questions from the fans yeah let's get in that let me just say before we move on side you wouldn't have been a good ladies man if all you could do is have to send send text to people hey hey hey you got to be hands-on when you're with the women boys hands on you got to be involved just what I'm trying to tell you that's right that's what we're talking about you know I'm curious you know and and I've heard stories that you know

sire was quite the ladies man I heard those things back in the day so sigh what was your number one go-to pick-up line oh I can't wait I can wait to hear this when you approached a woman well it it wasn't a pickup line okay no no I'm sure what it was what it was okay

look is ever lady I ever dated okay we always had a good time and we laughed a lot. Oh, I'm sure you laughed. Okay. No, no, I'm serious. Okay.

I am too. Because most people, you know, they don't know how to have fun anymore. I'm serious, you know. If you take yourself too seriously, okay, number one, you're going to be mad a lot because you're going to do stupid stuff and it's going to make you mad

and you're going to go around and be a soccer. power pus all your life. So, hey, don't take yourself too seriously. Lighten up. Lighten up. You know, you're a human being. You're going to make mistakes. Hey, learn to laugh at something that you've done that was stupid instead of getting angry.

And then for two days, you're biting everybody's head off. Biting a ten-penny nail in a take. Oh, yeah. So you would have a joke for waiting for. Is that what you're saying? Well, like, we just had fun. Okay. No matter what we did.

to the roller skating rank. Whatever. Yeah. I was about, you know, you know, no, I don't even want to go there. I was so bad, I stayed on the floor. A roller skating? Yeah.

And I was just beat up. I felt like I'd been beat over and run over all night long. Well, see, Sa, we're from the old school. Yeah. We're all included. We're telling our age now, the roller skate. Well, they still got them. Not only that, but we have to communicate with people face-to-face and talk to them.

Social media has made people where, they're not very good socially. They're socially awkward when it comes to real life. It's a lost start. Communication is becoming, it's going to go like the dodo bird. Okay? It's becoming extinct, in other words. Okay.

So, you know, just, hey. But that was the main reason that, you know, me and the ladies had fun when we was out. We laughed a lot, had a good time. have any good pick-up line stone. Well, I guess I didn't either. Okay. Yeah.

I did make them laugh. I mean, and really I'd just been with one for about 32 years, but there was a few before that. And I would make them laugh. Yeah, I've been with mine for 50. Oh, good. Hey. That's a feat, boys.

Let me tell you. Good for you and rough on her. That's it. Oh, no. Hey, hey, I kept her laughing for all those 50 years. She's still laughing. She's still laughing. As soon as he walks in the door, she starts laughing.

That's right. She's talking flight. Hey, Jay, what is it? When he was at the hospital, what happened when he walked in? Oh, when I brought him home from the hospital, Christine was, she was scared and nervous. You know, you remember. So I brought him home, and she's standing at the door, has got her arms open. She says, welcome home, side.

He looked at her and said, yep. Yep, yep. He sat out on the counts, turn on Matt Dillon. So, yep. And Cy's right. We do have a couple of good emails. we'll get into as soon as we come back from this break break break welcome back to the duck call room you all ready to get into this email bag by and well let's see what's in the email

all right so we have this question is for godwin uh-oh oh you're up first godwin this is hunter from texas hey we got a hunter from Louisiana we do all you that boy he works for us yeah and he plays golf too he claims he's he's you and him got a little bit in common we ain't no good at him he claims to have hit well that

you got that and he also claimed to hit a 300 yard drive well hey there you go good work hunter physically I can hit one too with a with a gun yeah you drive it out there and I'll shoot it

for him that's actually fun for him and side it's physically impossible hey look I did it okay i don't care what jason roberts three hundred yards now wait i was there he was there i will attest to it i saw the whole thing 300 yards i really did the ground not row it was unbelievable it's a one in the lifetime hit and he he did it just to be funny and he was like because i said side just barely

hit it down the middle because everybody else was in the woods no i'm going for it everybody was asking in the woods yeah that sounds like so they walk up to this golf ball and and stand behind it and everybody holds up three fingers. And somehow that's proof. Yeah, that's proof. He hit a 300-yard drive. Hey, I had three other people that said three hondoes, boys. One was the chief.

And one was a chief. Okay. One was bona fides. Chiefs don't lie, boy. Chiefs don't lie. But anyway, Hunter from Texas wants Godwin to give him some bull riding advice as he is just starting out. He loves the podcast and really hopes that God,

Darwin could give him some advice. I'll wait after you're done. I've got the best advice for him. There is. I'll tell you, just like a good buddy of mine, told his mama, he got stepped on, collapsed lungs, and in intensive care.

And they got up there, and I told her he's, all right. See, don't look real good. he's hooked up to a bunch of stuff. And she walked in there and she says, oh, I hope you learned something from this. And he picked his free arm up and he said, yes, ma'am, I need to get over that front end just a little bit more.

That's the advice. But stay over at front end. No, you're just going to have to get on a hundred of them to get good, you know, just keep getting on them, go to them jackpots. and hang around people that win a lot and stay on them and ask questions and just keep getting on them. You've got to get on them to learn. Practice makes perfect. Hey, and much you can do.

And you've got to be tough as boot leather, okay? Because, hey, but here's my advice to you. This is the best advice, okay? You get you a very young yearling, okay? you know maybe what three days old and hey then you may be able to ride him otherwise hey don't even do it these days that pBR these days they breed them they breed them oh yeah for mean to be mean and they know just how hard they got a buck to throw you off if they feel you slipping on the side more weight they'll they'll get you in there so you just got to keep

getting on. You ain't going to see nothing about the first I don't know, 30 40 bulls. You ain't going to see nothing. But after that you'll get your vision and keep looking down between his shoulders and

monkey up on him. Hey, you got to find that sweet spot. You got to find that sweet spot. What did you say? Stay there. Do you say monkey up on him? Yeah. Hold on.

That's not getting a good hole. Squeeze. your knees, stick your chest out. Got to have that sweet spot and stay there. Those are a buck real good and try to jerk you down. You can't grab a hold of them. Do you get stronger with your legs and knees to squeeze with, or do you have to exercise and work out to do that?

Well, back then, I didn't exercise nothing. Them boys work out now because they're getting on stuff now that show enough. Yeah, 2,000 pounds. They'll try you. 2,000 pounds? They're making a lot more money now than what I did. Of course, I was just local, you know. Well, that was Hunter.

So Hunter, I guess your advice is... Just keep getting on. Keep getting on. Get on. Get after it, monkey. Monkey up. Stay around, honey. Yeah, them ball riders know what I'm doing about.

Just keep getting up knocking the dirt off of you and talking about, where's the next one? Bring on. Well, you know, it's to me. Get that chest out. You know, push and pull. I've known going for a long time. We're talking about 20 years.

All right. I remember when I first met God when he was about what about 175 yeah and and when you say in your bull riding days how much do you weigh I was 170 170 175 right thing and some people don't know this but he also raced motorcross yeah yeah dirt bikes I started racing motocross when I was about eight years old dirt bike man yeah he's a he's a thrill seeker so no no no no no no Oh, what he is is a dirt man. You ain't never been in a boat with him? You ain't never been in the boat with it? He's done it on the bikes first,

then he got into it and done it on the bulls. I don't like riding in a... Dang, that's thing going on. I don't like riding in a boat with him. It scares me. I don't like... I mean, he likes to go fast, everywhere he goes. It's a thrill seeker.

Yeah. Thrill see. He loves the dirt. What was your nickname when you were racing? Super fly. Super fly? I thought it was the flying flea. Flying flea.

Oh, the flying flea, boy. Hey, I love it. I love it. You need a t-shirt. That's right. In other words, you stayed in the air lot on that. A lot.

Somebody make God with a flying, I like to fly. Somebody make God with a flying flea t-shirt. Yeah. Double X or? With a white goatee. Oh, I just got a white go-tete.

You all just remind my wife told me today in the news. Hey, they're making flying cars nowadays. Are you serious? Flying cars. That's what you told me. I don't believe. That was a car. tune she was watching.

No, what it was watching? She was watching the jets. There you go. No, no, look, she's on her computer, okay, in our cell phone, looking at this stuff, and it was something

in about flying cars, okay, I'll tell you. Look, we see in the movies all the time. That's flying carpet, sign. No, flying cars, too. You never tell Christine get off of spacebook.

Look, I'm just telling you how the girl stays on the computer. The Book of Faces, that's what Paul is called. The Book of Faces. So a lot of people, a lot of our audience that's listening, They don't know, but sigh has been to the Grando Opry, what, three times? Yeah, three times.

Wow. And sang at the Grando Opry a couple times. I sang on Sunday morning inversion, the gospel song. I sat in a seat. Okay. I actually sat in the circle, okay, which is about an eight-foot circle that they brought from the old. Yeah. Look, and what I did is I said, I'm not being disrespectful, and I put my hands

down in the circle and I said just let some of the talent, just a little bit of all the people that have stood here singing. I ain't no telling. He's oozed in this body of mine. And the Almighty said, nope, nope, nope. I was

waiting for that. Like, Paul with that throwing his side. I said him up because I knew go come and tell me, and the good Lord looked down and said uh-uh. Not today, Boy. Nope. Yeah, man, Paula went and watched it one night.

It was on, and we got to sit in this. That was pretty nostalgic. See that little circle up there. Oh, no. There was a lady sitting in front of us, and she turned around. And she said, she poked that other lady. She said, I think that's John Godwin from Duck Dynasty. And the other lady said, no, that ain't him.

I was there last week. Me apologies. I am. Hey, we got one more email we need to get into. Right after the break. All right. Hey, but size beard, have you noticed how good it looks now that it's trimmed? Yeah, it's trimmed.

I used to be on the evening. Who trimmed it? He got it trimmed in Oklahoma. Yeah. Oh, you got a beard trim in Oklahoma. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she actually cut my hair in a little bit and beard trimmed.

Yep. You know, at a spa. Huh. He went to a spa? XL XL. XL. Yeah. The XL spy.

The XL spy. Yep. Excel spy. So when's the last time you got a haircut? When I got out of the Army. No, no, I'm serious. The last time I had to cut my hair was when I was in the military, and that was in 1993.

He just let it go. And I retired, and, hey, I ain't touched it since, and that woman done it until the other day for just a little bit in Oklahoma. And I told her, I said, hey, don't get carried away. Because if you do, you're going to have to give me about five hondoes. You'll freeze the bad. They cut that arrow. Cut that skull it off.

You give me five. That's right. You got to pay me five hundred dollars. What she said was, side, do you want me to clip that tail for you? He said, Hey,

leave that tail alone. Like old snail pick, I said, Hey, boy, watch that knife. That's it. Watch that knife. There's somebody else that I know who also has not had a haircut in 30 years.

Bill PR? The same guy who watches. the same TV shows that side of us. Let me tell you why we watched that. Phil has not gotten a haircut in 30 years. I know he colors his beard during duck season for one reason. To look good for the TV? No.

No. Won't flare a duck. He's always telling us, hey, Johnny God was flared, my flare him. And hey, I don't ever flare duck. White beards. That's the flea flare. I never flare him. So he gets, Jace gets these,

Um, what, what's that stuff called? That hangs on the cypress trees. Spanish malls. Spanish malls. He, so Jace goes around gathering up the Spanish malls and puts it on and puts it all over the duck blind because it resembles size beard. Right. And feels beard.

Well, not only that, then Jason Robertson always, okay, I got to take a chainsaw to cut me a little hole where I stand. No, yeah. Because Jason Robertson puts a tree on top of where I stand. Right. They try to keep him from killing those ducks. And then when you look on Jason's in and on Phil Robertson's in, guess what? Then a stick of a brush on. Wide open.

Wide ball open area. And then they always tell me, who flared the duck? And I said, hey, you need to have a mirror. Both of you. And look in the mirror. And then I'll tell you, who flared the duck. There is a lot of truth to what he's saying. I want to know how much truth it is.

He is dead. Oh, okay. Let's talk about this other email. We got one more email. I think we can get some mileage off of. So Eric from Washington says he is on the West Coast. 1 a.m. Bell and Alfalfa listening to the duck call room.

Oh, good. Nice. Thank you for keeping me awake. Working man. You're welcome, Eric. Yeah, working man. So he has a story back in college. He had a boat, went fish, hang out with his friends on the boat.

But the boat always broke down. He said 90% of the time, the boat would not make it back to the boat ramp. They had to row it back or got tow back. He wants to know if we have any stories about boat breakdowns. Well, let me start this off. And I got one after you for sure. Let me start this off. First of all, okay, you didn't spend enough research on the boat you bought.

Okay, because it sounds like you bought a piece of junk. Okay, so next time, do a little more research before you pay for the boat. And then you won't be breaking down as often. They're all going to break down, but not as often. Yeah, that's right. I'm in that club, too. I got an outboard that keeps breaking down on me. But you've got a good outboard.

It's good. I mean, it cranks back up, but it keeps shutting out. Anyway, aggravating. I ain't going to talk about it. Vacuum. So I got a good story. Uncle Si loves to drive the boat. Okay.

We used to hunt down the creek back in the day. Well, in the creek, there's a lot of stumps. but everybody knows where those stumps are because we have navigated that creek on multiple occasions. Okay, but one is either Phil or Jace running the boat. Nobody else. They know where the stumps are, never sigh. So Phil gets a brand new motor, puts it on the boat.

So I said, let me see what this thing. He wants to run the boat on the way back. And Phil said, all right, go ahead. He finally gave in. Si takes off down the creek. Guess what? Bam. Everything comes to a stop, lower unit sinks to the bottom of the creek.

Hey, piece of junk. So Phil said, Phil said, Zai, he said, I told you not, you didn't know where you were going. And in size, you know what size response was? He said, hey, that stunt wasn't there yesterday. Hey, they ain't gone up to it. So, so me and my brother, my older brother, we were, we were, hunting ducks since I got kicked out of the duck bond, I can never go back with Simon.

You don't ever raise up and shoot on your own. You got to wait for the land. There's a band list and I'm on it. I said, side, we best buddies. Can't you get me back in? He was like, no. You're gone forever. You raise up and fired a bunch of a hundred tail.

You ain't coming back. Anyway, so me and my brother, we're out at Wham. What? Wham break, boys? Because that's where you go when you got nowhere else to go. You got to fight everybody. But anyway, we're riding back in after the hunt. And something's wrong with the motor.

And so Danny says, Philip, come back here and put your finger right here and hold it. He said, don't let your finger off of it. But the problem was, John, that it was freezing cold. So I kept it on there for about 10 minutes going, I'm having to look this way, we're going that way. And so I was like, I just got to warm my finger up just for a second. I took my finger off of it.

And it went dead, and we stayed out there five hours before somebody picked us up. You told you not to take your finger off you. I said next time you might want to say, don't take your finger off or we'll be stranded for five hours and then I would have sucked it up and kept it on the way. You didn't understand the repercussions of the situation. That's exactly right. He didn't understand the situation. The severity, seriousness of it.

All right, God, what are you got? Well, I remember one time it was me and W.E. Uh-oh. And one Jeff Smith. So we're in this ditch. It's down by the lodge. It's a ditch. Riceville on one side, a little levy.

And the lights wouldn't work on the boat. And so W.E. says, they ain't but one tree on this levee. And I know where it's at. And it's foggy. And we take off. All we got is headlamp. We can't see squat. No.

And he takes off wide open. Oh, yeah. He said, if you're scared, say you're scared. I said, I am scared. I'm afraid you're dead. And no sooner did I get that out. Hell! We went through that will of tree.

Oh, yeah. And knocked Jeff out of the boat. I'm sitting in the middle. W.E. is in the back, and he's laid down his head's in the water. He's laid back, Wallerne trying to get back up. Waller. Wallerne's a good word. He said, oh, yeah.

we better not do that no more. I said, you think you almost kill me. And he really did. But he said, if you're scared, you're scared. And the belt broke on the thing. And they had to pile it back. I walked down to levee. I made them, he had to push pole it all the way back to the cupboard where we put in a long way.

That was good for him. If you're tired, say you're tired. Oh, he was tired. I can guarantee that. Yeah. Well, the best one I've ever been involved in, okay, and it didn't hit, he didn't hit nothing. But it's just amazing that he's got that, he's got, Phil's got a photostatic memory. Got a six cents.

Okay. Look, we would leave the house, we would leave the house at the boat house in the motors, 20 horse mercury on a 14 foot deer craft, okay, wide open. No lights. he had run Cypress Creek wide open. Yeah, I was in there that morning. Okay, and I'm looking as we go by him, he's missing Cypress stumped this bigger round.

Oh, yeah. Okay, I'm talking about six inches or less. Yes. In the piece right, he can run that. Just back and forth. He can run that whole creek all the way up to the second slew, going in there, and it's stumped everywhere. And never hit nothing.

in the dark. And I'm going, cow, we're lucky we ain't dead. I know. Remember when he let off the gas and come down off of it? We bumped one. He said, well, that's pretty good. Once he said, yeah, he said, I hit one.

I ain't run this thing in 12 years. What about the time? Jay, didn't you have to catch the boulder before it went down and sunk in the water? Well, yeah, we've talked about that. That's when Phil sunk the whole boat. Oh, the whole. We've talked about that numerous.

Breaking ice. Well, Uncle Sy, it's about that time. You got a Bible verse. All right, here's the deal. I always tell you, as far as this concerns me in the morning when I get up,

I put this in my mind. Okay. Today, I'm going to be good and I'm going to treat everybody I run into right. Okay. Now, I'm going to go to Proverbs chapter 9

and see what the Almighty has to say about that. Let's see where we start here. Okay. Instructed wise, man. verse 9. Chapter 9 verse 9 of proverb. Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still.

Teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through me your days will be many and your years and years will be added

to your life. If you're wise, your wisdom will reward you. Oh, hey, if you try to be good and just do what is right, the Almighty has said, hey, I will add years to your life. That's pretty good incentive. Yeah. And that will be your reward. I will give you extra years, which, hey, pretty cool.

You need to ask me. Oh, yeah. And we'll leave y'all with that thought, okay? As far as it is, up to you, always be good and treat people right. And the Almighty will look down on you and smile on you and add, who knows how many years to your life. Boy, if everybody did that, the world would be a lot better place. We have a lot better place to live. That's exactly right.

The news would be positive. Good verse. All right. See y'all next week.
