Starting point is 00:01:20 Because that would be measurable. In 40 years, I've never gotten it until right now. Do you know where you got it? No clue. I mean, I'm assuming I got it when I went Turkey out in Texas the first time. But now you're going to get more. I was a little more cautious. What does the doctor say?
Starting point is 00:01:36 He said poison something. Okay. I don't know if it's Ivy Oak or Sumac. He said, but, you know, it's just a reaction. What are you talking about? I don't know. Are you ready? But we're welcome back.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Welcome back to the duck call room. Ladies and gentlemen, we are back here on a beautiful Tuesday. It is Tuesday. So you'll probably be listening to this on Thursday, which is fine. There's no. On Thursday? When is this air? Let's just tear down the fourth wall.
Starting point is 00:02:02 It airs Thursday. Well, happy Cinco tomorrow. I hope it was grand. Yeah. I hope y'all had a phone one. Hope you recovered. I hope the headache has stopped from tacos and tequila. I was going with the, I hope your bowels have recovered.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Again, that mind does not stop. Peritio mania. Yeah. I mean, Cinco to Mayo is fun, man. Mexican food's good. It's very American of us to just celebrate another country's independence. Well, you need something, right? Is that what that is?
Starting point is 00:02:29 Yeah, I think, right? Everybody loves Mexican food. I mean, who doesn't love chips and salsa? If you don't like Mexican restaurants, I got an eye on you. Yeah. Yeah, I got some serious trust issues. But no, we're back.
Starting point is 00:02:43 It's good to be back. I'm finally home for a little bit. So I'm excited about it. Where are you been, Martin? Where have you been? This past weekend, I was at Texas Motor Speedway, seeing some old friends. I'll say this for Texas Motor Speedway. Not a lot of employee turnover because they were the same folks walking around there from when we sponsored the Duck Commander 500.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Duck Commander 500. Yeah, we took a walk. down memory lane, but I was hanging out with pit boss and academy folks over there. They had a car running in the race. So it was fun, man. It's good to be back. You forget just how loud that place is. Man, those cars are loud. You forget to you. And I bumped into a friend of the podcast, John Christ, so it was kind of fun seeing. I got a lot of questions for him. About what? Is he redneck? What is he?
Starting point is 00:03:33 He is something. He's, uh... Like he's an Amish Christian redneck. Yeah. Who wears nice shoes. He does wear nice shoes. And I was walking around with a duck on his hat. So, you know, I don't know. I was like, man, he wears that $5 bass pro hat that hurts my feelings a lot.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Yeah, he didn't have that one on. This was a very nice hat with a duck on it. So I don't know what it is. You need to send more hats to him. Who? No, man. Donnie D. A 3499, sucker.
Starting point is 00:04:00 I can. All you do get on website. Order. Yeah. Straight out to him. We need to have him back on sometime and ask him questions. about him because I'm confused. Here's what I'll say.
Starting point is 00:04:12 What I learned about NASCAR drivers, they've gotten a lot younger since we were there. I didn't know anybody there. Oh, really? Yeah, the people that I knew were like working on the teams and stuff now. Like they're like owning the teams and doing the booth and all that stuff. So it's kind of a weird, there's been like a turnover. They all look like children driving those cars now.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So we're getting very old. Yeah, yeah, apparently. I like when people call me Mr. John David now. I'm like that. It's correct. There you go. Or you can just go with Mr. Owen. I do not care.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Yeah, but we left from Aaron and then went turkey hunting again because we still had some tags in our pocket. And so, yeah, it's fun. Brittany killed her turkey. I killed a turkey. Life is good. We're going to be eating turkey nugs. Perky slag.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Was it just you and Brittany or the boys go, will you? No, the boy stayed here. I didn't want to, I knew I had to do a bunch of stuff on pit, road and I didn't want to be wrangling the boys at three running around taking lug nuts off people's tires or something you know like doing what boys do I didn't I didn't want to have to worry about somebody's wheel falling off because my kid went over there and took a lug nut off of it's that'd be kind of cool story to tell though you guys remember on Texas Motor Speedway when that tire went flying into the stands but nobody was hurt and everybody remained safe yeah
Starting point is 00:05:32 yeah I found two lug nuts in Jackson's pocket so That'd be crazy. Si did you watch the race? Now that you're back home. No. How's life back home? Life. No.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Johnny Dee. So I moved back into his house. I know. That's what we were asking. Okay. Everything is a lot better for him. When I went to go visit him... I would be so excited if I'd been out of my house for what?
Starting point is 00:06:01 Four months? Yeah. I went to go visit him. Me and Alicia went to go visit them. And he was back in the back sleeping. So I went and woke him up. He was like, hey, I'm trying to sleep all day back here. What are you doing, waking me up?
Starting point is 00:06:13 Like, hey. Thinking of sleeping all day. Oh, yeah. Can we look at your socks a little closer? Because we had an argument earlier. Yeah, that's what it says. What's this eight? I'm amazing in bed.
Starting point is 00:06:27 I can sleep all day. Yeah, but let's get rid of that bottom part. There you go, Sa. You can sleep by the day. Now you need the pan back to his face, though. It needs to be a video. That's where we need it. We need this.
Starting point is 00:06:39 This is going to be on Instagram. Look right there. Yes. Yes. Send me that. I will post it. I do not mind. No, no.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I'm claiming that one. Well, then let's collab. Done deal right after this. Oh, man. That is so good. So, did they get you ready? Everything's good at your place now? No.
Starting point is 00:07:04 They still got to put all the doors on. You don't have any doors? I got some doors. Like, well, you're talking about internal, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Oh, okay, yeah. Cabot doors. Hey, here's what happened. They come in and they gutted the house. Yeah. That means tear the floors up, tear the walls up, all of the,
Starting point is 00:07:27 uh, cabinets. And we had a bunch of them. All the cabinets had mold. Mm-hmm. So, right, rip out, gone.
Starting point is 00:07:38 They got them. Okay, so that's a replacement for all the cabinet I got, and I didn't realize how many cabinets you got in your house. A bunch of them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So there's cabinets from the kitchen all the way to the bedroom.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Yeah. And in the bedroom closet. Oh, yeah, because your back wall was kind of like a cabinet wall. Hold on. Yeah. You had all your stuff, your memorabilia. And then all the stuff, there was cabinets in the living room everywhere. Well, them had all go.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Your cabinet, Bill. Hey, good news is cabinets are cheap. Oh, they ain't cheap. No, they ain't cheap. I found that out when we remodeled that house, and that was three years ago. They're real proud of them little thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:25 And you've got new floors all through the house. That looks great. You know, and that's another thing. We're putting new floors down. Yeah. So you can boot scoot and buggy. Hey, that's it. You guys want to throw a day.
Starting point is 00:08:36 New cabinet tops. New appliances. It catches out of the way and get down. You could have built the whole house. Well, hey, that's what Martin says, hey, you should have just bulldoze that sucker off. Hard it over. You're going to bring a new one in.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Build the house was taking a little longer, but. Not the way he built. But that was not what my wife wanted. He enjoys her home. So, hey. Make them seven bruce. I did. I pulled up.
Starting point is 00:09:02 That's what was funny is you go, like going back to Texas Motor Speedway that's the first time since we've been there and when I pulled up like to the concourse still I just visually went straight back to where we were like we had the duck commander trailer right I was like the duck commander trailer is right there plate and Holmes had this iPad right here and the miss k dog washing station and that's where we hung out like because it had air conditioning like that was our time away from everything and I mean I just went back to like 2014 in my mind and was like I think I have a picture why I
Starting point is 00:09:37 We all have pictures. I mean, it's just crazy. And I just remember the line of people. Like, it was insane, especially that first year we did it. Like, it was, but it was cool to see all that stuff. And, I mean, again, most of those people that we worked with were still there. So, I mean, apparently it's a great place to work because those people love their job and they're still hanging around, you know, however many years later that it was there. And I talked to the owner, Marcus Smith.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I mean, it was... I remember him. I mean, yeah, it was just a walk-down freaking memory lane, man. Except this one was sponsored by Andy's frozen custard, and they were giving away custard everywhere. I may have divulged in that a little bit. I do love custard. I do, too.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Why is it better than ice cream? And they came in, like, these perfect little cups where you never were like, man, that's too much. It was just enough, and then you just went and tried another flavor, because why not? Let's make sure I'm not missing. something on my normal order here at Andy's frozen custard. So I really gravitated towards the peanut butter,
Starting point is 00:10:42 which should be no surprise to anybody that knows me. But I do love peanut butter. I've got, I've trained my children. The boys always want to go to that place where they put it on the cold rock, marble slab or whatever. Oh, yeah. We're going to call that average at best.
Starting point is 00:10:56 But it's ice cream, so it's good. Yeah. But I've got Lottie trained. She's like, no, we're going to Escobos. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:11:01 that's my girl. I like Eskabobos. I like Eskimos too. That's good custard, boys. and always goes back to food. Look, y'all know the duck call room believes in a good night's rest and sleep sets the stage for the rest of your day.

Yeah, I even got to, as a benefit to this, they were having a barbecue competition. Oh.
Starting point is 00:12:52 There that was sponsored by pit balls. So, you know, they go through all those, those fancy deals when they played it and turned it in. Well, there's always a bunch of shrapnel left from their presentation. And I was getting everybody shrapnel to try that, on the stuff that didn't make the presentation, yeah. Folks at home,
Starting point is 00:13:11 I'm here to tell you, there were 52 teams there that could straight cook some ribs because I think I had a rib from all of them. You ate 52 ribs? I don't know that I ate
Starting point is 00:13:21 all 52 of them, but I ate way too many single ribs from people that did not make the cut and I did not have a bad one. I was like, how do you pick a winner in this? I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Hard to beat ribs, Martin. I mean, food competitions are weird. Yeah. Other than just like personal taste. They were all not like Phil says, and they were not too tender. Like you didn't just take a bite and it all come off there. You bid it and boy, but when you, you took one chew of it and it was gone, it was like butter. I was like, holy cow, man. It was so good. I could do that.
Starting point is 00:13:57 It sounds good. It is getting that time of year though. It's barbecue time. Well, May is barbecue month. I didn't realize that. And that happened on May 1st. So that was part of the deal was the kick off to barbecue month was a barbecue competition at Texas Motor Speedway. Oh, I was so glad to be there. Man, turns out I just really love it. Well, me and Philip also had an adventure that pertains to food. What'd you do? We went to Mississippi.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Yeah, and we ate good. We ate good, but Philip was fired up. Si, have you ever been right south of Jackson where that giant restaurant is? It's just, and they got the giant cross-y. and it's like berries seafood. Nope. Nope. You've never been?
Starting point is 00:14:42 Nope. Well, Philip gets all fired up about it. He's like, when we're on our way home, we're going to stop here because all you can eat seafood buffet. But then there's another smaller one and then Philip was like, that's the one we're going to. And I was like, are we really about to eat a $40 seafood buffet?
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yes. And Philip was like 100%. Wait, what time of day was this? Well, we were. I see, that's where we got off. I'm proud of Philip for this. We were going. Because y'all were in transit.
Starting point is 00:15:08 The homes of hope, we were going to a fundraiser, me and Johnny D. Yeah. And so we got down. It has alligators, by the way. Yeah, they do have alligators at the place where they shoot all the ski. And Si, it was the 11th annual Uncle Cy's skeet shooting. Everybody asked about you. But it went great.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And they raised a lot of money. It was really good. So on the way back, I said, Johnny D, we got to stop at that place. And it gets to go for the all-you-can-eat buffet. And I was like, dude, I don't know that I- Oh, so this is on the way home. Yeah, I was planning. I knew y'all were leaving at like daylight.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I was planning for, but when we drove by it, I said on the way back, we're hitting this place. We've been talking about the seafood buffet all day. And then we had some great catfish while we were there. Oh, my goodness. I was good at that point. I was like, I'm solid. I didn't want to fill up on the catfish because I knew what we were going to do afterward. And Mitt Millen was like, I got to get to that buffet.
Starting point is 00:16:01 So y'all hit a, y'all hit a. I had full back in high school, he was banned from Evergoers. Buffets? Buffets. He ate too much. He ate too much. So did y'all drop it? I'm very interested in this story.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Did y'all, please don't tell me y'all dropped in on a buffet at like 3 p.m. They were closed until four. Otherwise, Philip was dragging me in there. He was like, what are we going to do? I said, it's closed. And I'm not sitting in, I don't even know what town that's in. Let me look. No, I said, can we just sit and wait for him to open back?
Starting point is 00:16:36 up you know and Johnny D. was like, are you kidding me? Because he can't sit still. He's like, no. Oh, man, I really wanted to know what was on the buffet at 3 p.m. That was, I'm actually sad but the giant one was still open. But then we were so close to home, it was like, let's just roll home. Oh, man. Where is this? I don't even know what town this is. On Google Maps, they don't even have a name. Oh, you know why Saa hasn't been there because he flies every time. we go. McGee, Mississippi. McGee, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:09 I spent the night in McGee before. Why? Because I legit could not make it home. I was so tired, like coming back. I tried to do one of those drive down, do the event, and then turn around and come back home. And I got to there and I was like, I'm going to die. And there's a holiday Inn Express in McGee, Mississippi. And I stopped and spent the night there.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I remember because I was like, I just, I can't make it these last two hours. I cannot do it. Now, I will say, if. If it had been four o'clock, I would not, I would have been like, all right, let's do this, Philip. He'd have probably watched me, you know what I mean? He'd have been like, okay, I just watch. I guess the good news about stopping when a buffet opens is it's fresh.
Starting point is 00:17:49 The thing about me and buffets is the reason I avoid them is because I know what I'm going to do. Yeah. I'm going to set records. I'm going to have my picture on the wall. And they're going to talk about me months later. I'm a grazer until I find what I like. And then I just kind of camp out right here. I was like, yeah, let's run that.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Do we want to get off food? I do have an email. Yeah, let's do an email. We ain't done one in a minute. It's been a minute. Let's get on. Ben from Glenn Daniels, West Virginia. West Virginia, by God.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I think it's West by God, Virginia. Well, that is. You ready to fill old Martin? Yeah, let's do it. A good 10 or so years ago, I got this duck call in a mystery box from the Duck Commander website. It's a mystery box. Glenn, no, you're from Glenn.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Ben from Glenn, thank you for buying one of those. It will be chapter three or four in my book, The Duck Commander Mystery Box. Shout out to Stephanie out there for, it was probably her idea, but I really kind of stole it from her. What?
Starting point is 00:18:55 The mystery box. Well, it come from Woot. I bought a mystery box. I sent you the link for the Saints Mystery Box. And I got a bunch of crap in it. Yeah. And I was so proud of all of it. And Stephanie that worked here goes, we should do that.
Starting point is 00:19:08 And I was like, Stephanie, we shouldn't do that. I said, but what if we did that? Yeah. And Kyle Tingwall. Man, I signed a bunch of duck calls. And I put it on there, one out of every 10 would have an autographed duck call in it. And the guy in charge at the time was from Minnesota. He might.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Guy Lee. Minnesota. Many or so? I just don't think people are going to buy anything if you don't tell them what it is. We sold like 500 mystery box. is day one. Yeah, that was crazy. We said there might be a duck call in it.
Starting point is 00:19:40 No, there would be a duck call in it. And it might be autographed. And one out of every 10 would be autographed. It's always had, and the people went wild. Anyways, Ben from Glenn, Daniels, West Virginia, bought one. And he got an autograph. Which one of us did he get? He can't read it.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Did he send a picture? He did send a photo. Would you learn how to sign your name, sir? Well, that's me. Yeah. That seems kind of obvious, Glenn Ben from Glenn. Yeah, who else would it be?
Starting point is 00:20:10 Like, it's clearly not Robertson, so where are we? I will say, the only people whose names I can ever read are yours and size. Yeah. That's what I say? It ain't man.
Starting point is 00:20:20 No, that's me. That's 100% me. On a sard. Yeah, because we had a bunch of them. On a sage. Yeah. If you got one of those mystery boxes, please email it and tell me,
Starting point is 00:20:31 also sorry. That was just stuff we had too much of. Yeah. But I was so sorry. Ben, it was, you got the value. Yeah, it was a great deal. You just probably would have never bought all that separate to spend that much. Yeah, and I'm sure you kept like two things and threw the rest of it away.
Starting point is 00:20:47 But, you know, there was a sock up in there. There was a sock up in there at the time. You saw on the revival, how many of those we still had left. Yeah. All right, but he does have an important question. Okay. Any advice for a 21-year-old guy moving out to start his own life? He's fresh out the...
Starting point is 00:21:05 Parents door, apparently. He's from Glenn Daniels, West Virginia. What's the advice we give him, Sigh? Surround yourself with godly people. Yeah. And have fun. And don't take yourself too serious. That's what Sye's saying.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Have fun or don't do it. Get a plant. Hey, look. What? Hold on. The reason I'm telling you that. Hold on stuff, Sire. Fix your mic, Sire.
Starting point is 00:21:28 How old are you, sir? 21. 21. You'll blink and you'll be my age, 78. So hey, enjoy yourself and have fun. And Hunter? Yeah, did anybody hear Hunter? No, what did Hunter say?
Starting point is 00:21:43 Size is like important great wisdom. You're important great wisdom. Hunter, fresh young hunter who's 25 said, get a plant. A plant? Get a plant. A plant, not a plant. A potted plant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I said, fast-scored trees, baby. What about a plant? Does that make it feel like a home? Yeah. You can't get a flower You can't get a dog or a cat most likely Yeah get a flower Why can't you get a dog or a cat?
Starting point is 00:22:13 No, we don't want a dog or a cat I don't want a fast going to plant Most departments are kind of weird about that Unless it's a service animal I also think you should get a bunch of posters Or pictures around your wall So it doesn't feel like a jail sale That'll help
Starting point is 00:22:28 Oh you get you a good looking woman and marry her Interesting there is that Oh no one Do you have a plant? Yeah, I have a Pothos. A what? A Pothos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Pothos. I mean, get something non-native you're going to throw out and probably spread like wildfire one day. That looks like it would take over a yard. Get one in big old, huge, desert plants. We've got to have to go down this road. You don't have to water it.
Starting point is 00:22:56 You don't have to water it. You don't have to water it. You know, I've named it. Orlando Bloom. I don't know. I like it. It's funny. That was my co-worker Madison.
Starting point is 00:23:08 She told me to name it that. That's it. It's actually two vines. So one of them I named Orlando Bloom and the other one's Jonathan Devine. I love you, you little weirdo. I live alone, okay? I love you.
Starting point is 00:23:27 We're going to bring Emily back next week to do support work. And I love you. My favorite is it. I mean, one of these days, we'll just uncons. cork all of our group texts. It'll be great. Hunter was texting us last night,
Starting point is 00:23:39 asked us about some stuff. It would do it. But then he was like in the middle of all the text. I'm going to have to get back to you. I'm eating crawfish with my parents. I mean, crawfish of my parents. Hey,
Starting point is 00:23:49 good call. If you ever want to know what Hunter's thinking, he'll send it in a text. I love it. Chronic overshared. One of my favorite things on Earth is texting with Hunter. It's so good. When Allison's ignoring me or I'm in the,
Starting point is 00:24:02 I'm in the dog house, I'm like, well, I can go text hunter in your face. And I'm going to know everything that happened from right now to 0,800 today. It'll be great, man. It is. I mean, it is so good. The interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting. Yeah, I can't give Ben from Glenn any more advice. Have fun, get a plant.
Starting point is 00:24:25 There you go. Get a plant. Have fun, get a plant. Stay on budget. Create a budget, stay on it. Don't let finances be the stress. If you get a plant. They have to be.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Name the plan. That'd be my biggest deal. When you're young like that, finances, just get a budget stick to it. Oh, you're fine. You can make mistakes and fix them later. Yeah. That's terrible advice. Do not listen to that.

Starting point is 00:27:31 They're also ahead Um Run it back Okay, yeah. Tony's in. Is it the in? Oh, that was the hotel, right? Like, didn't Shoney's used to have like a hotel right there not far from the...
Starting point is 00:27:44 I think, yeah, no, there's a hotel. Shoney's is still around, y'all. Oh, man, we got to go find one. I got to find one on my travels. In a C. Now that checks out. So far behind there ahead. They got the most.
Starting point is 00:28:02 That, Shoney's, my sister, went. go into shonies. Why not? Because she made the childhood mistake of making a pile of food and wasting on a buffet. And my dad ain't so much about that wasteful life. She had to eat at all. And he said we still talk about it to this day. How many chicken nuggets my sister had to eat? Ooh. That'll show her. Bad call.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Yeah, there's one of, there's two in pigeon forge. Of course there is. I bet they're the busiest ones in the world. Couple in Gatlinberg. Does Pigeon Forge have a Lambert's? It should, huh? Lambert's only in the two places. The two places, Springfield and Gulf Shore.
Starting point is 00:28:44 That was good. Or almost Gulf Shore. Yeah, there's more Shoney's in Tennessee than there is anywhere else in the world. Man, I do. Did they have, what was their logo or their little mascot? Wouldn't he like a squirrel or something? Was he a squirrel or a beaver? Yeah, something like that.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Didn't they have a little rodent guy or something that? I just remember as a kid like color. color and all the things. It was some kind of little rodent-looking creature. Man, we're taking a walk down memory lane now. Good grief. I'm going to find a western season.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Like, that's the guy who is... Oh, it's a bear. A bear? Is that what it was? Man, I would have said... America's favorite breakfast bar. I would have said it was a squirrel. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:22 I thought it was a chip book. Oh, it could have been, Tsai. I thought it was some kind of rodent. Yeah, but... I think it's a bear. I think it was a chip bar. It could be a bear. I mean, I don't...
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah, we're, we're... No, it's a chipmunk. Yeah, but they said it's a bear. Well, hey, they don't know if a chipmunk. They can't tell the difference between... Whenever you shrink out a bear into a handheld size, it becomes a chipmunk. Because when does Shoney's here close? When they figured out it was a bear?
Starting point is 00:29:52 I'm just trying to figure... Oh, yeah, that was him. And, oh, they're calling that a bear. Okay. That is a bear. Donnie Bear. But if you make it hand size for children to have his... Well, that's what I'm saying is it was a problem because they didn't really say that for a kid.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I never, I remembered him as another animal. They too. But that's fine if they call him a bear. I just want, when did ours close? Long time ago. It's been a minute. I think that one day was in, it was a chip one. Because now what's where Shoney's was, where Shoney's?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Which side of the road was it on? On the right. It was on the, it's where AT&T is. Yeah, that's right. Chick-fil-A, dear folks, if you're not from Monroe-West Monroe, I'm about to take you down a trip. Which one was Chick-fil-A? Bonanza. That's what was Chick-Fal.
Starting point is 00:30:40 There wasn't nothing better than getting out of church and headed to Bonanza and trying to beat the Baptist there. Yeah. That was a good time. Yes, Bonanza. That's what was where Chick-fil-A was. Bonanza's steakhouses, the nostalgic American chain of buffet-style steakhouses founded by the actor from Bonanza. Really? Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:02 I did not know that. And hey, you can hit the gar deal on that. Oh, you don't like it, Zah? Yeah. You don't like the show or the... Hey, Bonanza ain't no good. The food. The restaurant or the show?
Starting point is 00:31:13 The restaurant. Oh. In 1989, there were almost 700 bonanza locations. So people... Okay, I thought... I didn't know if Bonanza was that spread out. So people know what I'm talking about. Look at there, man.
Starting point is 00:31:27 What a life. They still got them in Pennsylvania. that's the best part. Some of the places in America stuck with the places, like the Western Sisland in Conway, Arkansas. That's always good. Man, what a time to be alive. The 1900s were awesome.
Starting point is 00:31:42 They really were. The 1900s. 1989 to 2000 was peak. And it sounds like now we're just repeating a pattern, except now it's fried chicken. It used to be a buffet on every corner, because I guess you had to provide value. Now it's just a different form of fried chicken.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Remember the Western Sisland? Yeah. I remember him. He was right down here. He wasn't far from his office. We had 17 buffets in this town for what we did after church. And now there's not a one. No.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Grannies. Is it open on Sundays? About the Piccadilly. Did y'all used to go the Piccadilly? No, that's where the rich folks went. Hit that button. Gar. Nicodilly's still there?
Starting point is 00:32:21 Still a gar. Still there? I did love Shawneys, but it was so packed. And one time I went with one of size friends, Sal Militella, when we were younger. and it was so many people that he was like, I got something we're going to do. We're going to have the buffet to ourselves. I said, what are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:32:37 He had a little glass thing about this big. He said, when I step on this, it's going to smell like skunk. Everybody's going to start leaving. He stepped on its side. Everybody left? We had to fight our way out of there when they found out it was him. Oh, no. And it was so bad.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Leave it. Your skunk bombed a buffet? Leave it to Sal Militilla. And y'all ate by yourself? No, I couldn't eat. It smelled so bad I couldn't. But it was a good idea. I mean, in theory.
Starting point is 00:33:11 That's a terrible idea. It was awful and we all had to leave. He must have hung around with Mark a lot. Yes. The idea. Yeah, yeah, he did. I actually need people to email me restaurants like that. What's that?
Starting point is 00:33:25 Like the old 1990s, Bonanza, Shoney's Western Sizzland. Are they still in your town? Or buffets were the model? Yeah. I need to know more about it. I'm still very interested in us potentially getting a Popeye's buffet like they have in the Great City of Lafayette.
Starting point is 00:33:42 It's gone. It's gone? Hold on. Oh, no. Rest in peace. Really? I didn't know. There was all you can eat Popeyes.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Oh, man. Me and my buddy Drew almost drove to Lafayette one day just to hurt ourselves. Yeah. I think it's gone. Yeah. I think COVID killed it. Dead God, man. Look everything, you know.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Yeah, gone for good. Gone for good. No more Popeye's Buffet. There was one left in Lafayette. Remember the Wendy's buffet that had spaghetti? Yep. Yep. Yep, I do.
Starting point is 00:34:13 They had that little weird sunroom and a spaghetti buffet. Oh, yeah, I do. After a glass coming off the side of the building. Yep. We're so weird. Guy, is there any food that you could just like eat all, like on a big buffet that you really like? Fried shrimp. Crab legs.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Or that you used to like. These people still got buffets. Don't hit. Can't think of one. Yeah. You like Phil's burgers. You could eat food food. I know.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I try not to laugh at my own jokes. Wait, wait. I was a good one. What did he say? I mean, I'm sitting here thinking all buffets are dead. And all the reason they're dead is because I don't go eat Chinese buffets. That place is huge. But it's clean.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Very clean. Very large. I like a clean place. You love the place by big lots. Yeah, the big place up there. Very big. Is it good? It's huge.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Have you all eaten there? It's clean. Very big. Very clean. But the food. It's very large. Very clean. That's not, guys.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I told you that. Food must not be much. No, it actually is good. Are y'all as busy as me? God. It just feels like every night's baseball, soccer, something's going on. And when schedules ebb and flow, y'all, it can be easy to get off track with your health habits,
Starting point is 00:35:32 but AG1 is here to change all that. Look, Philip's got a travel pack right now. And this is the berry. Look. It's a good one. And if you're wondering what that is, AG1 is a daily health drink with a multivitamin, pre-in probiotics, superfoods, and antioxidants,

Starting point is 00:37:02 That makes the best shake ever. Is it a Dairy Queen or is it the DQ, whatever they call it now? Grill and Chill. The DQ, grill and chill is different. It does say DQ, grill and chill. But isn't that Dairy Queen? That's the other. Yeah, in theory.
Starting point is 00:37:20 You're different. Okay, because the manager came out and sat with us because we told her how much we love this place. We drove out of the way to go. Yeah. We took that route so we could stop there. Yeah. Because I had to put two car loads. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:37:39 That's a grill. Everybody ordered it. And when they come out, they said, you were right. Because what they do is that they take. He loves it. Whatever one you order, like a peach ball. Okay. Well, they have, you know, a fruit bar.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Yeah. Fresh peaches. Well, they, you know, cut them up. Then like strawberries, one order. Yeah. Well, they cut it up and then mash it where it'll actually go through the straw. Ah. So you're just, every time you, you know, take a suck on the straw, hey, it's strawberries coming.
Starting point is 00:38:14 There you go. Hold on. What did you, so have you done it at ours? Is ours trash? No, no, I tried. No good. Yeah. It's something, I don't know what the deal is, but because when I actually was sitting in the car, he's mine.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Yeah. Some people walk up to go in and get one and said, it's really good, isn't it? And I said, yeah, it is. Yeah. He said, oh, this serves the best ice cream around. What'd you find, Johnny Dee? I am leaving a Google review from the hello at duck call room.com for the Dairy Queen Grill and Minnesota.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Uncle Si says all dairy queens are not. Did he like this one? Oh, no. Created. Not locked out. What was the manager's name? We don't know. Oh, man, because this one is far greater.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Superior. All that I've tried. That's crazy. I go through Monicella all the time. I mean, because that's how you. They have the best ice cream malt. There is. Well, that's how you get to Central Arkansas from here going duck up.
Starting point is 00:39:18 You got to go through Moncella. Every time we go to Circe, we go through there. But look, the place is clean. The parking lot is clean. When you go to this place, they're doing it, right? I ate and I ordered a hamburger because he had ate it last time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Well, try it in the hamburger. There you go. The hamburger. They served like the old days. And nothing's changed. Excellent. It's like you're going back in the 70s. Just like the old days.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Yeah. Which tells you that, I mean, it does work. If you care about what you're doing and it's clean and the food's good, people are going to come to it. I just realized that the duck call room can now review. things publicly on Google. And I've never been more excited. Hey, here's the thing. But we're not going to be named.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Hey, that place is always packed. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why. I've never stopped in it and it wasn't that. Hey, nope. All the parking lot is. Everybody knows.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yeah. And the people in line. I'm serious. What else do you want a Google review? You have anywhere else on earth that you want to just tell them they're doing a good job and you want the world to know? It was the Derry Queen. and chill.
Starting point is 00:40:31 And might as sell Arkansas. Yeah, we've already done that one for you. They got two thumbs up. No, I got five stars. Or five star. Oh, no, that's five stars. I even wrote it. That baby right there's five stars.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Can you believe there's people that left this place a one-star review? Huh? I gave it a one-star. I don't know what they're doing. It's five stars. I don't. I order chicken strips. Can we talk about that?
Starting point is 00:40:55 I order chicken strips and they forgot my barbecue sauce, one-star. Yeah, there you go. Can we talk about, like who takes the time to go be negative and review things? Yeah. One star. Like who's like, I'm going to show them? Yeah, I'll put the one star on them.
Starting point is 00:41:10 You do? No, I'm saying that's what they're saying. I'll put them a one star. No, I don't. Yeah, you had to have a truly bad experience to take time out of your day to do that. Well, okay, but hold on. Listen to this. Here's an example of a one star review from Mariah to the Dary Queen Grillin' Chill
Starting point is 00:41:29 in Monticello Arkansas. Which is our favorite. Mariah. I'm coming for you. Hey, you better be careful, sir, because if she's eating it to TQ in Monticello, Arkansas,
Starting point is 00:41:40 there's a chance. She's plugged us in, so. I don't care. I'm just saying. She needs to know why. She's a listener. This is the worst review of all the time. We're going to get one star after this.
Starting point is 00:41:49 One star. Order two side salads with cheese and no tomatoes. Well, there's your problem. And I received a small plastic container barely half filled with tomatoes. I will be getting my refund. One star.
Starting point is 00:42:07 And I say something. If you go to Dairy Queen and want cheese and lettuce as a meal, that's on you. Get a burger, get a milkshake. If you want to be healthy, carry your butt to Subway. Don't you come inside Dairy Queen like this? That's not that. Whoa. Not only that,
Starting point is 00:42:31 their name. Mariah. Hey, Mariah Carey is a five star, baby. She ordered a side salad. They were like, I guess we get the hamburger toppings
Starting point is 00:42:42 and throw them at it. Like, they didn't know what to do. A side salad. That's why, like, if you go to a fish place and you don't order fish,
Starting point is 00:42:50 that's your fault. That's your fault. Yeah. If you go to a fish place and you order chicken. If you go to a burger, a burger joint, you order a burger, you idiot.
Starting point is 00:43:01 It said it was a side salad with cheese. Yeah, why did you stop it, Derry Queen, for a side salad? With cheese. I've been in... You canceled the point of the salad.
Starting point is 00:43:12 You're eating the cheese. You need to stop in a little mini mart and get you some cheese. Well, I've been in Monta salad. There's a grocery store right over there. Just go make you a salad. Yeah, hey. It's like right across the street.
Starting point is 00:43:24 It's on that main... You can't. You can't depend on Dairy Queen for the side salad. I'm going to tell you right now. The fact that that even has to be a PSA is... That was two years ago. And that's the worst part. Somebody ordered something silly at a Dairy Queen two years ago,
Starting point is 00:43:41 and it's just there. Stuck on Dairy Queen and Monticello for years. I mean, that's incredible. Maybe we'll straighten them out with that little... That's incredible. I don't get it. I don't know. That's an aggressive...
Starting point is 00:43:53 What's fish plus you eat here? Captain D. That's a great little suitcase. That's like on Captain Dees talking about to say, hey, give me a steak. Yeah. I think they used to have pizza. Hey, it's a fish.
Starting point is 00:44:06 It's a fish restaurant, you idiot. Look around. Yeah. Figure it out. To be fair, Captain Dees is really a mozzarella. Oh, fuck. Yeah. They are good.
Starting point is 00:44:16 They are so good. They are good. See what Captain Dees in Westboro has a bunch of reviews, gang. That place is always bouncing. Yeah. That is, Pat. I went there after church one time. It was like an early service ordeal,
Starting point is 00:44:30 and I had to wait 15 minutes. And when I tell you, I was like fifth in line. Yeah. So for when they open. No, it's always popular. Well, listen, I think so.
Starting point is 00:44:39 It must have changed. Yeah. That's pretty good. Pretty good food. I mean, Brittany had that. Yeah, that's what Brittany likes there. Oh, no, I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:44:47 The times I saw you there, I was going for postpartum husst puppy runs for Britney. That's all she orders. It's a hush puppies. She gets like a piece of fish. in like eight hush puppies. He loves the hush puppies. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Martin pulls up to the window and I'm in there or, and he was like, it was so funny because there were two white camouflaged trucks there at the same time. I was like, look, I pull it in. I'm like, it's on Phil. Got a go box with him. I'm sitting there,
Starting point is 00:45:15 I'm sitting there waiting on the hush puppies here. Like, can you pull forward? We've got to cook some more hush puppies for Brittany. And here comes walking out and come Phil and Alicia. I'm like, well, I heard on Phil. Put her down. Oh, man, it's a great little seafood place. See, but like this guy's like, I'm going to bash Captain Nees.
Starting point is 00:45:34 The food is too expensive and it takes 20 minutes to get your order. It's not worth it. They, their prices are advertised that you could look that up before you got there. Like, when you get surprised by Captain D's prices, that's on you, bro. I'm going to go to the line off of Let It Ride. Well, who cares? I don't personally ever mind waiting. at fast food-esque places
Starting point is 00:45:58 because it's generally fresh. They're having to cook. Yeah, they're cooking it for you. I have one that drives me insane. What? And it's a great place. But I don't understand how I have to wait for raising canes. Because it's just chicken.
Starting point is 00:46:13 They only have chicken strips. Yeah, that's it. When I pulled in, you knew what I was, you had to have an idea of what I was going to order. Yeah, there was, just go ahead and drop three or four in there and see what happened. And if you're looking at me in profile, then you know I'm going to say no slaw. So don't waste your time.
Starting point is 00:46:26 putting that in a cup. Extra piece of toast. You know what I'm saying? Have that one ready. Don't waste your time putting that colds. Every once while they're like, well, we're waiting on fresh chicken. I'm like, the line's full and we're all probably ordering the same thing.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Yeah. Yeah, it's just, do you put it between two pieces of toast or do you put the piece of toast in a box? What does that communication sound like? Here's somebody else. What do they want? We don't know yet they haven't ordered. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And we, our Chick-filet needs to step it up too.
Starting point is 00:46:49 We need a line for people that just use the app. No. Go to the other Chick-fil-A. Why? We've got two chick fillets in West Monroe. Do not complain about our Chick-fil-A, or I will jump across side by side. I'm just saying. I'm going to jump across the table.
Starting point is 00:47:03 I'm not complaining about the Chick-fil-A as much as I'm complaining. It is 2020. You pull up there and you hold your deal to be scanned so you can get your points. While you were waiting back there, five cars deep, you could have ordered it. And then you just go up there and you can tell them your name. No, no. You can do that. I know.
Starting point is 00:47:19 You just pull into a parking spot, click it, say what parking, and they bring it to you. But not everybody does that. So I see what you're saying. It makes the line long on one side. It makes, somebody's going to get caught up because they didn't use, I'm just saying, if you put all mobile orders through one line,
Starting point is 00:47:33 they said, Bip, Bip, Bix Laleigh. Hibh, Garr, gar, garr. He said,
Starting point is 00:47:39 Chick-Lay was a gar. I ain't doing that. Les Monroe. He won't hit it. He won't hit it. West Monroe, Louisiana. Hey, that new chicken sandwich,
Starting point is 00:47:46 that guy's really good. You would like the halapena ranch thing. And it comes, hey, it comes with halopinia peppers on it. You would like it. 100% you'd like it. Ladies and gentlemen, if you've never been to Westman or Louisiana,
Starting point is 00:47:57 I would like for you to get on Google Maps and zoom in. I do. I do. I do. I did get him. On Chick-fil-A. Look, I got in that arm-slanging club with Paula. We walk. We're walking. What are you laughing at? That's what them women do when they go walking. They sling them arm. They sling them arm. We was going to do two laps. I said, no, we're doing three.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I got more energy. I ain't taking as much medicine as I used to. I'm 11 weeks in, I've lost 25 pounds. Well, you told me you needed new clothes because your old shirt. My bitch is falling off. I got that draw stung just pulled all the way, but I'll be walking and they'll slide. I'm pulling them up. I'm saying not to clean out the stinking cloths. I don't have to take my sugar medicine no more.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I quit taking it. I'm off my blood pressure medicine. I don't take it no more. I'm telling you, you get losing this weight on this Ph.D. and you'll get healthy.

Starting point is 00:49:47 Unlike what I said about like all dominoes are not created equal, Chick-fil-A is a model of consistency, just about it, all the ones you stop at. I had a Chick-Blay chicken biscuit in Mope. Bill Alabama one time that changed my whole life. I think they dropped it in the butter vat and they just said, ah, he looks like he'll enjoy it. He'll be a right. It was wild. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:08 It was juicy. But it's just a level of consistency is what they offer. Like, no matter which one you stop at where it's not. But I do want. Not like your one favorite very point in Monticella Arpins. I do want the people to go Google Matt West Monroe and zoom in on the one Chick-fil-A and when you're like, why is there two right beside each other? I want you to realize that, yeah, that's how we roll.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Yeah, and it's not a mistake. Johnny D. Tell us about the QT. When we stop in the morning to get gas, Johnny D comes out, he's got a pizza. I got a new thing. And some kind of chicken sandwich. Y'all, there's another gas station in my life.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Quick trip. Quick trips. The one here? Hey. Easy with how you choose your neck word. No, I'm just asking. Is that the first time you've been in it? The quick trip franchise, it's like a Buckees, but smaller.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Oh. It's really nice. And they don't have a mask. Like the Borkies and better. When I tell you that breakfast pizza, five stars. When I tell you they're waffle fries that are sitting in a, really? Underneath a heat lamp, better than Chick-fil-A's, five stars. The quick trip will change your life.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I ain't ever got anything from their hot. Oh, it was. Hey, quick trip will change your life. Chicken biscuit? I heard it here. Press a button. Gar, it was awful. I don't know who planned that.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Terrible idea. So there's some hit and miss. But I think I'm going to start exclusively eating at gas stations. When we went to Mississippi for the Homes of Hope, we exclusively stopped in quick trips. I tried new things every time. Oh, God. It's phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Well, they're putting them everywhere now. Like, they are going up. I'm wondering if this right here by the office may not end up being a quick trip. You know, I've been looking at it and praying. Yeah. Because I'll never go. It's definitely a gas station. Yeah, there's a new gas station.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And if it's a quick trip, look, I'm going to tell you the truth. I got a friend who owns a quick trip t-shirt. Oh. Philip? No. Oh. And if I could, they bought it online. Oh.
Starting point is 00:52:14 You know, the, those are the people I hang out with. I'll say this, the quick trips up north that are spelled with a K are really good. That's not. Yeah, yeah. The one we stopped at in Wisconsin is like. We actually bought some biscuits and. and cooked them. Well, we did that too, yeah, the pizzas.
Starting point is 00:52:28 But then we stopped this year and got like a biscuit because it was morning time and we weren't going to. Casey's. Casey's. Casey's good. We're just, I mean, how blessed you will be alive. Oh, the Casey, man. Who? Stone's a case.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Yeah. It's a good one. He likes the sauce. You know, and pour them to burritos, whatever they make. Stone's still a big salve, man. Everyone got their breakfast. Stone's a six-month bender away. from being 300 pounds.
Starting point is 00:52:57 So that's what's always fun about him. I mean, Stone ever, like, blows in ACL. By the way, I want to tell you that Jay Stone, when it comes to Homes of Hope, Jay Stone, came up with the idea of having the trap shoot. It was his idea.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Really? We were all together. I met all aside. All the Enigma people you've heard about Martin over the years of them doing this, I got to meet them all. He met them all. Dr. Dane's there?
Starting point is 00:53:24 Oh, yeah. He was there. He was there. But the interesting thing is, you know, Jay came up with this idea, and they started using it 11 years ago. And me and John Lee just went to the 11th annual Uncle Sy Skit. They really do. And they keep growing the thing, and they're doing a lot of great stuff for me. They're building a fishing pond now for them.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Oh, really? Which I support. And when it's stocked, let me know. And we'll change it to the honeyhole fish tournament for kids. Get off that skeet shoot. But don't shoot in this alligator. There's a sign that says do not shoot our alligator. But my point was, oh, Stone's pretty sharp.
Starting point is 00:53:59 You know, because when he sat down, he said, look, you got to let people shoot something and eat something. And not this crap you're cooking. And we need something to eat that's good. And they brought some people in who started cooking. It was actually good, wasn't it sign? And so the catfish were good. Y'all had catfish here? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Oh, yeah. Also, I'm going to just confess, I ate 14 hush puppies. While people weren't looking. Oh, I wasn't watching. Yeah, I know. You knew I would tell it. I hit it. The fish was good.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Oh, that's something that's hard to get off of. The fries were good. Them hush puppies from Hanks on the river catering be slanging. What's that restaurant? We go over on the river. Warehouse. Oh, them little hush puppies are from warehouse. Hello.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Oh, look, I kills the warehouse. Yeah. Hey, I ate like whole baskets myself. Yeah, they're, that's about 20 in each basket. In your defense, I will say that those hush puppies are a 10 out of 10 when it comes to a house. Oh, no, no. They are so good. Scott is the finest out of eight.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Yeah. Okay. And then they give you the little butter truck. That was the only saving grace of the Homes of Hope deal. They didn't have the little butter tubes. Because you'd have had. Because I'd have just been like just dipping butter and. I like his confession.
Starting point is 00:55:15 He's like, I'll tell you what happened while you weren't watching. Those hush puppies are over. At the warehouse? Yeah. Is it? Christine, I don't know. ain't one basket. Did they put another one there?
Starting point is 00:55:26 Well, Christ, they picked it up, moved it. Handed to Blake said, put that on another end table. Don't let him get them. Yeah. Well, I said, I tell Blake, I said, hey, pass me the stupid basket. Yeah. I said, don't let it want to do that. They are good.
Starting point is 00:55:42 They are good. They are really good. They're good. I ain't a whole basket by myself. Yeah, they are good. Our hush puppy is so good. Man, man, man. And look, and they're hallows.
Starting point is 00:55:52 of pinas and they're not that down over bad. Yeah. They're perfect. Yeah. Mm. Some of them, they get in there. It's rough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:05 But these are perfect. They cut them just the right size and mix them good. And I can't, I, I get a bushel basket full. This was before you had tea. I'm going to bring you some. I'm going to go get some.
Starting point is 00:56:19 I'm serious. You should have brought them back to the Mississippi. I'm bringing you something. I'll eat them. From the warehouse? Scott's has good hush puppies. And their butter tubes are the exact size of their hush puppies so you can dip them. I should not talk.
Starting point is 00:56:36 I will eat a whole little, what are those called? The little dollops of butter. What do you call those? Packet? A butter packet? Yeah, just the little, you're talking about the little round-dil? Yeah, with the thing, you peel it back and there's just beautiful butter sitting in there and you can, you shouldn't dip stuff in there, but you do.
Starting point is 00:56:52 How frustrated do you get with that little packet, like the little tinful tears off? Oh, yeah. Now that's a halfway over and you're like, and you just bite into it, man. Then you just throw shame out the window and lick the butter out and then throw the hush puppy in your mouth. I don't care how much weight we lose. I don't care how strong I try to be. I will forever go back to the kid that just wants to dip a hush puppy in straight butter and enjoy himself. Folks, if you've made it 45 minutes a day, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:20 because y'all are thinking what are these frigging idiots do why is butter so good it all started because me and johnny d we drove by and all you could eat buffet and we still ain't got it off our mind I've been thinking about it

Starting point is 00:57:59 Look, we did get to hang out with the Homes of Hope guys. They're doing awesome jobs for kids that have just fallen through a system. There's just nobody there to take care of them. And when I was there, I kept bringing it up. James 127, religion that God our father accepts as pure and faultless as this, to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep one cells from being polluted by the world. That's what they're doing.
