You are the happiest, most go-lucky person I know. You really are. But in every picture somebody takes you, you're never smiling. What's the problem? You're trying to be Clint Eastwood and Bozo all at the same time? I don't really know. See, you're just telling me something that I haven't never realized it. You ain't ever realized?

Yeah, because I'm not looking through the picture to take it. Okay, look right there. There's your picture on the wall. What are you doing? Walking. What's he doing right here? Not a smile to be family. That's a frown.

I mean, everywhere you look of sigh. Okay, he's smiling in the one with BK. That's all right. Okay. Well, look, hey, the name of this is for a few ducks more. Well, sure, I'm looking like Clint Eastwood. That's my serious deal. Okay.

And yeah, you need the background music. But on the side of your truck, look at you. There's a little bit of a club. There he is, boys. Hey, I'm smiling on my truck. You ain't smiling? Eh. Oh, well, hey, I look off.

I'm smiling. You're looking like you smelled a fart or something. I may have. That may be part of it. I may be a lot of it. You look mildly confused. I mean, you're the happiest person I know, but in 90% of pictures, you're just. Well, hey, the reason I'm happy, okay, that's what I tell you, this has been a really good week.

Okay, because guess what? On Wednesday, PBS had a good one. Oh, here we go. Okay. And the title of it was Rivers of Life. Oh, boy. Rivers of why. Hey, the coolest part of this whole thing is the Zambezi River.

Where's that at? Buckle up! That's in Africa plus six other countries. Whoa. Wait, wait, don't test him. Africa's a continent, but yeah, it can be in six other countries. Six countries in Africa. Hey, I'm just repeating what they said on the show.

Okay. They say it's in seven different countries. And one of it is, okay, one place is the Victorian fall. Yeah. Okay. And during flood stage, because like this thing is the river that floods and makes the Serengeti plains green again. Okay.

But they also have the Victorian floods. Uh-huh. Or falls, excuse me, not floods, falls. Yeah. Look, and then during flood stage, there's a million gallons per minute going over the falls. And look, when you look at it, it reminds me of Arizona. and the Grand Canyon. Because it's falling in.

The falls are coming over a big cliff and fall in like in a canyon. But it was cool, but the coolest part was they have a lodge, okay, for all of your people that go to Africa to see the animals and take pictures and all this stuff. Well, this lodge is open, okay,

and it's got big pillows. And then right beside the lodge, they've got a gigantic and a some kind of fruit tree okay it's kind of like a god I can't even think of the name of it

but it's like a big plum papaya no it ain't a papaya the other one plum pie no starts with a G I think guava

I don't know but anyway some kind of fruit look and baboons wild of bees bulled elephants all the wild elephants

all the wild animal and the nalphra come to this tree and have been doing it for hundreds of years to eat the fruit well hey they just come walking through the halls okay of the of the lodge nope i mean these are wild look these are wild bull elephants yeah that ain't a lodge that's a tent oh no but no no no look they even went in the gift shop that's what i'm talking about no no it's look it shows this bull elphal and he he sniffed it y'allon an elephant Yeah, a bull elephant with about six foot touch sticking out. You got to respect elephants.

Here's this lady, and I'm serious. She's sitting down around the table. The bull elephant comes walking in, and he's about from where you're at to her. Not a chance. And she's going, about eight foot. Just unreal. Yeah. Your boy wasn't in bed.

And I said, well, I said they do really. We can get along with the animals if we really try. But hey, the neat part of this was the Zambizzi River starts on a little hill and it's got a spring, fresh water spring, that you could just take a cold dipper and just be ice cold and sweet water from this freshwater spring. That's how it starts. Then it shows it in the Serengeti plains where it's, you know, thousands. the acres of flood land, which is wild.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, but I thought it was cool. That's what I was going to. It was actually a good episode to watch. So are you saying it ain't how you start? It's how you finish. How you finish?

That's it. This thing finishes with a bang. Speaking of with a bang. Oh, no, look, and it actually empses into the Indian Ocean. And when it's that way, it's a little fingernails, just like all foot wide. Oh, a delta. Yeah, Delta.

Yeah. River Delta. Have y'all noticed how much energy Si has, how good he's doing since his procedure? I guarantee you. He comes in here fired up on a Monday. That's because there was a really good episode on TV about the Zambesey roof. And he got that new truck, well, old truck, but it looked new.

It's new now. But he's still on smiling pictures. Uh-uh. Still, he won't do it. No, he's got about a half smile. Well, you got to have a serious side to you. It don't pay that to be serious, doesn't it? Well, I mean, no.

fun. That's a different podcast. That's right. So, you seem like like you're doing a lot better.

Oh, how are you feeling? I feel better. We had an event Saturday in Mississippi at the armory. That's right. Yvonne Williams Armory.

And she's a, she is a state trooper. Yep. And a hot, good-looking state trooper. Okay. Good grief. He's the side been on steroids or something.

I don't, I don't gave it to her on the, over there at the show last night. Okay. Okay. What?

Because they told me, hey, yo, tell them about my store. And I said, hey, y'all need to come down here and check your store out. If there's nothing else, if you don't care about the store, come down here and check this hot, good-looking state trooper out. Who sells guns and ammo. That's right. Who sells guns and ammo and will pull you over and give you a ticket in a heartbeat if you're going over 705. So that's where Si got his teacup holder there that he wears on his belt. There is.

That is, boys. So now you, so. And that fits. What's the store's name? Ivana Williams. Yep. Armory in Mississippi. Yeah.

And they gave you a man that works there. He was a cop too that's retired because of medical disabilities. I just lost my chair. He made, he made me that. So what do you do with that? Hey, I put it on my belt and hold my temper work up. I'm now shorter than Philip. This is fantastic.

No, no. Anyway. So you put your cup. It fits my tub on your belt. On your belt. That's because it's too heavy to hold. That's right. It's too heavy to hold.

Plus, I told him, okay, I've been looking for somebody to do it. But I had a buddy in San Antonio said he was going to do it, and I don't know if he's made them or not. If he has, I'll just have four of them. But I've got two 45 pistols that I took out of here. Your pants are going to fall off. You remember those 45 pistols? Yeah, they don't work. No, they do.

They do work. I was hoping I could shoot them at the Army, but she ain't got her. Sidewalks in with both guns. She's like, all right, boys. She ain't got a range belt yet. So she's got that to do. Then I can go over and shoot my 45. But I've actually getting two holsters made, one for each 45.

One for each of you? You want me to make them just two holsters on one belt? And I said, no, I'll make them two holsters, right-handed holsters. You know, one's black. Oh, yeah, he went in the great detail about what he wanted. Yeah, one's black, one's tan. Okay. What are you expecting to run into?

Oh, I just wanted some Western cowboy belts for my pistols. Well, you know, so is a man wearing tennis shoes. He's ready. He's ready. Wild west, boy. He got the boots. I know, and you got the skinny jeans, too. Oh, I is it.

Now that you can breathe again, you can probably wear them again. That's it. There was a while I think, hey, you're going to talk about a picture. I find that in break. Side and them skinny jeans, golly. Hey, the women. Ooh. I couldn't wear them.

I know. It looked like he was melted and poured into it. Well, hey, you know. They kept saying, sigh, how'd you get them bitches on? That's right. I was wondering the same thing. Yeah, they even wrote a song about it. What song?

Called the law. But don't get the sheriff on the phone because we want to know how'd you even get those britchies on. Oh. Well, hey, there you go. There you go. Well, take a breath. Let's take our first break, and I'll fix my chair, hopefully, so I can get off the floor over here. 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, Cyrabs, would say, buy on the grill!

Look, before we got Triedails, getting ready. for a cookout meant somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Triedales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while.

Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. 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 Tritails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash. Stuck. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

Ladies and gentlemen, skinny jeans, sigh. That's it, boy, skin. Look at this thing, son. Look at that rear end. Where is it? Where it's supposed to be? Oh, simmer down, ladies. That looks like two bean poles.

Look, and Dave won't even go over his boots. That's what I loved about them. That's it. Hey, I had to tuck them down in them. We've put over the boot. Look at it. We're going to play his favorite song, and he likes to dance to. Y'all get ready.

Is this the pretty state trooper you were talking about? That's Godwin. No, I don't know who that is. I didn't know what we were talking about. Oh, man. Oh, Martin, thank you for that photo. That was a good time. That was post a NASCAR race, is all I remember.

NASCAR, baby. I just, I remember standing there looking at the side, like, I got to take a picture of this. What are these jeans? I mean. Oh, you took that picture? Yeah, I took that picture. Of course I did. Oh, my goodness.

jeans on. We used to travel the country together about every weekend. When he'd wear something ridiculous like that, yes, I'm taking a picture. Your boy was getting a photograph. The best one was I looked better than Elvis Presley. Huh? When the lady made my jumpsuit for the Dallas Speedway. Yeah.

And I looked better than Elvis ever thought about looking. I still need to send you a bill for that, by the way. Yeah, send him a bill. You ain't all sent me a bill for you. You send him a bill for it. No, we've already paid our part. Well, why we're doing this, let me shout out to Kip in Mississippi. Yep.

Yazoo. The Yazoo Honey Beef Farm. So, Kip... This entire podcast is sponsored. I mean, Si, might... But these are just people sending us. Siah's like Mississippi's native child that ain't ever even been from there. They love Si.

And I'm just saying. Si I lived all over the world. He ain't ever lived in Mississippi, but spends 25 weekends a year there. He does. Hey, but this is one of the... them things okay because i got a short story to tell you about from childhood about mississippi no about bees so kip was coming through the line to meet sigh and he's like hey i got some honey for you boys y'all take this back way to the duck car room all you guys we love listening to you and he and i said listen

sire's got a story i want to know if it's true or not can this even happen yeah let's tell the story so i'm about probably 14 maybe 12. Okay. So we don't need Christine here to verify it. No, no, but anyway this is still hung. So me and Daddy are sitting on the porch and this, you know, he said that bees sworn in

March, April, and sometimes as late as August because I told him, I said, I think it was right before September. We're sitting on the porch when it's just starting to cool off a little bit. You know, and I look and we see something black

up in the sky coming towards us and they're flying. It's a bird. No, no, no. And it's a plane. Oh, no, no. And it's a bunch of them.

It's bees! No, no. So this lady that lived next door to us, she had a back, she had vines on the back porch that have them beautiful purple flowers. Oh, like wisteria or something? Yeah.

But anyway, this thing, I mean, tell me, hey, it's like my porch on my house. It runs for 30 yards. And she's got flowers on them, it's like a vine. But anyway,

them bees come around and fly around a little bit and they go over and they light on one of them vines. And look, it's a ball of them about this big around. For those listening,

a very large ball. Big ball. So my father reached in his pocket and pulled his pocket out and said, come with me, boy. So we start walking toward these stupid things. that are hanging on that vine.

You know, and we get up her pretty close, and he said, here, hold it right here. You know, I'm looking at him. I said, have you lost your mind? I said, them bees fix it. Eat us up. He said, grab the vine and hold it while I cut it off. Who's holding the other end?

No, no. It's still connected. So I grab it, you know, and I'm shaking. He said, quick shaking, you're going to get a stung. Yeah. So he cuts my end. end off behind my hands. Then he works over

I grabs it with one hand and cuts his end off. He had already grabbed two chairs, went to the back house where we had an old shed that was made out of pine boards, found a knot, knocked the knot out, set them two chairs in between, you know,

right in front of that knot. So me and him walk around there carrying this ball of bees. Can you buy this? I am. I've heard it. I mean, Hey, I mean, you're talking about walking softly in time to keep from shaking. But anyway, we set it down. He grabbed another chair and pulls it up and sits down.

And he's watching these bees roll up on each other. But about that time, he leaned forward and just, thumped one of them in there. It's queen bee. She finally rolled on top. He thumped her in that hole. They get up, go around like a tornado, and then all of them go in that hole. And for the next 15 years, we just go out there every time we want some honey when it's, you know, time to rob it. Take one nail out, set it down because he cut a square out and just nailed it back up.

You know, and we'd go there and get a number three wash tub slam full of honey and con. Every year. You know, because I told it, and Phillips said, I don't believe that. Well, I've been around you a lot. The guy Kip, okay, he pulls up. a picture of he's got like a thousand beehives the boxes thousand yeah because he's a beef farm commercial so he's got about a thousand and they're swarming and they lie it on a big tree over there and it's oh it's the beeser would

cover this whole table just a whole just a wad of them over the tree you know but they're okay you can fool with them and not even get stung with a little smoke maker. Can I tell you what you can't do? Ron. Well. You can't be checking wood duck boxes in college and not paying attention. Yeah. And realize that the honeybees have done taken over a wood duck box and pull the door off of it and not get stung.

Oh, yeah. About 60 times. That's how many times they got me before I got to that ditch full of water. Oh, that was you? That was me. No, no, no. Them suckers ate me up. Look, that door on a wood duck.

box you never looked at it. It's like right at eye level. Yeah. And it's about the 50 or 60th one I checked that day. So I'm just in kind of a fog like doing my thing.

I never looked. And you just slide it. I went like it. Yeah, you just slide it. I did that and there was a wall of honeybees looking at me. And I said, abort.

Aboard. And I just took off as fast as I could. I didn't, none of them sting me in the face. Hey. They all got me in the back. Oh, no. He showed us. He showed us, you know.

he told me he said hey they had a big wreck the other day on the interstate 20 turned over a 18 wheeler that had 400 beehives in it uh oh so they called kept they're like hey they called him and said hey can you come help us he got stung like 120 times wearing a bee suit yeah yeah and still got stung because they was mad but see you know what i respect about a honeybee unlike a wasp when he stings you he dies yeah he got one shot at you Yeah, he's it. He dope pops you and then he's gone. That's all of it.

Yeah. Them washers and them yellow jackets just keep on tagging you. And you know what? That ain't fair. No, it is at least a honeybee. The honeybee when he lands on, you've got to make a decision. Is this worth dying for it? It's a sacrifice.

You know? Is it worth dying for? That's all he's thinking. Do I really want to pop him and die or just let him go? A wasp or a yellow jacket? He's stinging out of just pure meanness. I'm going to pop him. Yeah.

And then I'm going to pop him three more than that. And then I'm going to pop him. And then I'm going to call my 57 buddies, and we all going to get him too. And let's pop him again. And then we're going to go back to the hive, and we're going to tell stories about what fun we just had. Hey, that's it. Now, I thought he was talking about Phil being stung. Didn't Phil open up that?

Well, we felt, Phil kind us into doing that crap that night of moving that external beehive and got us all laid up. Except you're truly. Go to hospital about 50 yards away, watch it. And he was right. I'll give Phil credit. It wasn't my first rodeo. I was there now.

I give Phil credit. They do not fly at night. But them rascals will crawl and sting you with equal enthusiasm. It doesn't matter. They don't have to buzz. Yeah, them suckers ate us alive. They start crawling on you and then dope all you. And then we didn't even get done to honey.

Phil kept all the honey. Yeah. Then he goes there the next day and robs it with the smoke. Yeah. A little pot smoke. Cheater. Cheater. Didn't Phil take that door down off of that honey

where you had? Oh, no, no, no. This was the funniest thing you'd ever want to watch in your life. You know, me, Tommy, Jan, Judy, I think was at nursery school. But he had done made him a B-suit.

He had on about, about three pants, you know. He made it. He wore a pair of Jim and Franks, a pair of Harold and a pair of his. Okay. Then he made him about, three football jerseys over and stitched them together.

Okay, and then he tore a screen door off of a barn back there and made him a screen helmet. Okay. He looked like a space man, okay? So he looked at, Daddy had it rigged up perfect, y'all. All you have to do is take a hammer. One nail helped this, like four before door in place. Yeah, so just take the nail out, grab it, and set it down gently.

I see where this is going. Bill took the nail out, okay? He's standing there right in front of this place. Took the nail out and just tossed the door. Okay, what he didn't know when he pulled it off like this toward us, the whole back of it was honeycomb. And bees. And bees.

Just solid bees on the honeycomb. Yeah. Well, he just threw it. Bad call. Bad call. Because look, when it hit, we could not even see his leg. Because they were solid bees. And they were stinging him.

And as he exit the area, screaming, okay, we're all on the floor in the house dying laughing. Nobody ever said Phil was smart. Oh, no. Hey. But he's tough. He's tough. He's tough now.

He's going to do stuff like that. You've got to be tough. But I will say this. He's a quick learner. Because he never pulled that's done ever again. He never did it again. That's a DED. That's it.

Hey. Don't ever do. Don't ever do this. There you go. Let's take another break. We'll be back right after this. All right. What else you want to talk about, old man?

You want fired up today. Well, it's amazing what in God's creation. Because right now, bee people, bee farmers. Bees. No, no, are having problems because they've got what, they're fake bee workers. Like drones? Well, they call them fake workers.

Are you saying bees aren't real? No, no. Sigh doesn't believe in bees. No, no, no, no. This is one of these deals there are. Hey, they will move in on a beehive. They will not work. Okay, so, hey, you know, and they kill the worker bees.

Well, they call them Americans. Well, hey, I'm just saying, hey, I'm just saying everything, because there's some kind of, uh, there's some kind of fruit. Okay, the birds eat. One of them is poisonous. And then there's another one that looks just like it, but it's not poisonous. Where did you learn this from? Well, I've read about it or saw it on television somewhere.

I believe him. He's usually right about this kind of stuff. They're fake bees that they do not work. They won't work. They don't make honey. And they will take over a beehive and kill the worker bees. Well, then you lose your hunter. You're honey.

You don't have anybody working, making the bees. I mean, making the honey. Who makes the bees? Yeah. Oh, God makes them. Unfortunately. I ain't going to say it. Unfortunately, what?

This sounds like the way of things. Bee people are serious. Yeah. And they should be. Hey, if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have nothing to eat. Wait, no, no, you got to think about it. The bees and the birds. That's why you always, when you got kids, you tell them the bees and birds story.

I've never heard the bees and the birds How about birds and bees? Oh, yeah, you do. Hey, I got two coming. Will you tell them? Don't let side do it. Why not? We came down to take them down to fill.

We let him get the crawfish version. No, I ain't. I don't believe that one. I ain't letting Phil do that job. Let's not make a video for them for later. Oh, man. Look, Phil, yeah, no. Phil does a great job.

He does. You don't want that thing to fall off. Keep that thing in your pocket. That's it. That's all you need to know. Oh, man. The birds in the bee, boys. Hey, we wouldn't have no fruit, no vegetables,

none of the stuff it wasn't for the birds and the bees. The problem of Phil is the older he gets, the shorter that story gets. Oh, yeah. Let's get down to the basic of love, baby. Okay. Family shows. Some people have already signed up.

He used to not use visual aids. Now he does. And I'm like, all right, now. Come on. Oh, boy. Oh, man. I'm just saying. I remember that episode when him and Sadie was in the vote.

That was hilarious. That was funny. It was. It was good. She looked a lot like Cole. They do look alike. Oh, man. I ain't believe in Sadie posted on her Instagram this week about her Tigers lost.

You want to talk about, girl, you're from Louisiana, born and bred. The right tigers won this one. weekend, by the way. She married an Auburn man. Well, I married a Vaub and I cheer for them, but you know what, Tennessee and LSU play this weekend. Uh-oh. I'm going to wear my, I'm going to wear my purple till we get beat. He's going to wear it's purple and gold, baby. Here's what I tell you, Tennessee going to win. LSU ain't very good, but that's fine. I'm cool with it. I'm not just going to wear Tennessee just cold. Yeah. I am. I've made the switch. He's a ball, baby. He's made the French boys.

I'm worried that the outcome of this game could potentially send her into labor. That's what I'm worried about. So I need Tennessee actually. Yeah, you're still here. Last time you were here, we said we may or may not see you again for a while. We got a date on the calendar now. I'm not going to say what it is, but we got a date circle. Okay.

We finally got a. The date is circle point. If it don't happen by this date, it's going to happen then. We be there at 8 o'clock. You just be there at 8 in the morning. don't go in the night before? No, be there at 8. Right around the corner.

Be there at 8. By 10.30, allegedly will be holding babies. That's it. So, there you go. 36 and some odd weeks of something down to two hours. That's wild. But. The final count.

Yeah, I'm worried. I need one or two things to happen. I don't need it to be a close football game. So whoever wins, Tennessee or LSU. You want a boring game? Please be a blowout. That's it. I don't need it to go to the.

The fourth quarter with 30 seconds left. But you know it will. Otherwise, yeah. That's what I'm worried about. Last person with the ball is going to win that game. I hope not. Somebody needs to win by 30, and I don't care which side it is. I'll root for either one with equal enthusiasm.

Equal enthusiasm. But I'm still going to be wearing my LSU stuff. Go Tigers. Well, yeah. And you've got a con one of your boys into being an LSU fan. Yeah. I'm going to let them choose, but I think they're going to look at that orange and say, nah, it's too bright.

Maybe. That's too bright. Too bright. But they're probably going to like that song. It is catchy. Oh, yeah. You'll always be. There it is.

That's what they got. You can't have you get fired up that song. That's what I'm saying. They got a good song. It's a catchy. A good old Rocky Top. Rocky Top Tennessee. And everybody likes Tennessee because nobody's been scared of them since Peyton Manning was there.

Yeah. They ain't like Alabama who nobody likes unless you're from Alabama. And only half of them like them. Yeah. Well, no, everybody likes Alabama. Everybody likes to root for a winner. I mean, the same reason the world used to be Patriots fans. Now they're all, you know, behind my homes or whoever.

Oh, that was a good game. My homie. What, last night? That wasn't no good game. Yeah, it was. Are you kidding? It was a butt-wipping. Well, I'm talking about that's why I was good.

That's, I like the Chiefs. I didn't watch. Oh, I'm fine with it. You was too tore up from what happened in London? Football only makes sense. I have a fixed day. Hey, London ain't a good place for the Saints to go. A football stadium is not a good place.

The Saints can't go. Well, I just say it, hey. It ain't it, hey. Also, I got two tickets to the next game for sale. If you got like 20 bucks, I'll take it. What actually happened? Did they just expand to go overseas? No, they're going.

They have games over there. They send them over there that way. Everybody could be annoyed whenever they were flipping their TV, and they were like, we're trying to watch Manchester City and Manchester United. I looked all over the sidelines for Coach Lassau, but he wasn't there. He was there. I know, but he wasn't dressed in soccer guard. We could have used him.

Yeah. He could have given some motivation. A half-time speech. Not getting penalties every five seconds. Not a motivated, maybe. Although most of them are just phantom at this point. I'm now going to start a conspiracy website that the NFL is totally rigged like the WWE, and you shouldn't care because the script's already been written.

Well, what happened with Alabama and Arkansas? Arkansas faked out like they were going to come back Yeah Well Arkansas was doing good Right up to the end of the third quarter They were only a what They pulled back Yeah they come back

And then Alabama said Oh yeah we're still Alabama Yeah I was working and I was on TV And then I got home I was like oh man this is coming a game Let me go home Watch the end of it And by the time I got home

It was over Yeah that wouldn't Alabama's tough Especially in the fourth quarter George almost got beat Yeah by Missouri Hey. Who did?

Georgia almost got beat. Last thing about football, though, you're going to have them games and all that matters is you get the W. Yeah. Because at the end of the year, it don't matter. You just got to get to W. The problem is when them teams lose that game, which is what LSU did week one. They had that game and couldn't find a way to win it. So, I mean, that's when you're like, yeah, okay, all right, this ain't our year, boys.

All right, that's cool. Rebuilding year. Moving on. Football is hard. It is hard, but it sure is fun. I had a buddy we was shooting gar. Gar? Yeah.

Fish? Fish. Okay. On a pond, on the old river. This sounds safe. Hey, we had, fine. Look here. There's no such thing as a ricochet. Yeah.

We had climbed up a sycamore tree on the edge of the bank. Was your buddy's name's Zakias? No. I was curious. A kiss? No. But anyway, I had done. They get out from there.

I had done shot a bunch of them. So I got tired I climbed down. I'm on the bank down there under him. And he said, oh, good grief. There's a big one

over there on the other side of the bank. But I just quiet, can't see him. Yeah. So he started easing out on that limb. Okay. And I said, I said,

William, don't do that. I said, don't do that. That's a sickle board tree. Brittle limbs. And I said, hey, get back near the trunk of the tree. He said, no, I mind you can see him.

Just one more little slide, and I'll be able to shoot him. He slid, and it was, and look, he's up there in the top, and it's crack. Well, look, he had one under his arm. He's hanging there like a piñata. Oh, no, no, no. He had one under his arm, okay, because he was sliding out on this one, and had his foot on it, and one on his arm. the one under his feet broke

the other one helped him for just a second and then it's now and look I'm looking and watching this and I once had a video of it every limb he comes by he grabs hold and it stops him just a second just long enough just long enough

and then it breaks and look he cleared he cleaned the whole side of that and fell in the water, and I can't even see him for the limbs on top of him. And I'm saying, are you all right? He said, I got to find him by 22.

I said, don't worry about the 22. We'll find it. Are you okay? He said, yeah, I'm all right, y'all. So look, we find the 22, you know, and get out of and start walking home. You know, and he said, oh, God, man, my arms hurt. I bet it is.

You know? No, no, look. And I thought, well, he said, look at this and tell me what's wrong. Well, hey, them limbs had literally shaved. Oh, yeah. Strawberry. Every bit of the hair off. Mm-hmm.

Okay. And it's bleeding, okay, and he's sweating because it's hot in the summertime. Literally say, he is miserable. Yeah, there you go. Now, tell the truth, did you laugh when he fell? Oh, no. Oh, I die laughing. Okay.

And the bad part was is instead of holding it down and letting it heal up, he did this. Well, guess what happened on Monday morning when he went to school? And he's walking around like this. First thing his buddy's going to do

is go grab it and push it down. Yeah. Or tickling. Get him in them real. He'll tear where it healed over the scale. There ain't much lonelier feeling in the world than falling. Oh, no, no.

Yeah. Because you're like, yeah, this ain't good. I can't jump very high. This ain't good. Here's what was so funny about it. He hung with, he'd grab a limb with his hand and it'd break. He'd throw his leg over one and catch it with a leg. It'd catch him just a second and break.

I think you're giving him too much credit. No, no. He was just falling. Oh, no. But he was falling with trial. I think he was just falling. He's literally cartwheeling down the tree. That's what I'm saying.

And breaking and breaking every limb. And some of them was that big around. They had hold him just for a second and he had breaking. Hey, that's the one thing that kept a boy alive there. Oh, no, that's the only thing that's the only thing that boy alive. Oh, yeah. Because he had broke his neck otherwise. Uh-huh.

Oh, that's a lonely feeling. He was up there about, oh, probably 45 feet. Oh, my. You remember where the General Motors, A building used to be in Monroe. What, how guide, please? Oh, guide. So I was working out there when I was young, out of high school,

and I was on as high as you could get in that building. It was maybe inside, I don't know, you're three stories up. And we were on the scaffolding, and we had concrete buckets coming to us, and we were pouring them into a wall to make a solid concrete wall. And I was standing on one of these boards, and it just broke while I was holding. the bucket. He come.

So look, I just start falling straight down, and this guy beside me about Martin's size, he just grabbed me by the t-shirt and held me just, the bucket fell and the other stuff was falling. He just held me by the shirt, and he

moved me over, got me back on the scaffold, but for about to seem like five seconds I was falling, it probably was only one second. But there's a, that is a helpless feeling. How high up were you? As high as that building could go on the inside, so it was almost three stories high. When I fell out of that duck blind that time hunting, I didn't think I was ever going to hit the ground.

And crap, I just fell out the front of it. I mean, I was only how tall of my, six, four. We was probably only three foot off the water. We wasn't very high. And I didn't think I was ever going to hit the water. It's a bad feeling. Yeah, but there was nothing I could do, and I had a shotgun in my hand. All I could think was keep it that way.

Just keep it that way. Yeah, why don't you go down range, boys. Hey, that's no kidding. We had a, me and Si had a visitor this weekend. But see, my partner, unlike yours, he reached to grab me, but he didn't grab me. What was your partner, Sam? Al. Oh, Al.

Al gave it this number. Alan Roberts? Yeah, Al gave it, Al gave it that preacher reach. Oh, man, didn't quite get you. Couldn't quite get you. Yeah, didn't quite get you there. He got it that preacher reach. Yeah, more alligator.

That's the same length arm he's got when the check comes. Did he do you like this? Just can't quite reach it. Just can't quite get there. Can't get there. He just can't quite get there. That check sitting right there can't make it. Golly.

See, sigh laughing because he knows it's true. Look at him. You don't laugh at stuff it ain't true. You know what he was thinking is that he's like I ain't worried about him. He'll be fine. Oh, he was thinking. That's the Robertson. He was thinking, I don't want to get hurt too.

That's all he was. That's a big boy. I may not be able to... No, but I have waiters on. All he had to do grab me by the back of the waiter. You weren't going to hurt yourself. No. He might have fallen in with you.

There ain't no chance you was going in with me. We answered the question. He's pretty well a stump these days, so he wasn't going to move out of you. Does a big giant oak tree make a noise when it falls? Yes. The answer is yes. If he falls through a duck blind that's wrapped in concrete wire, he certainly does. And he also rips his waiters to shreds on said fall.

The waiter's got the worst end of that deal. Yeah. You're lucky you didn't cut yourself on that wire. Yeah, I only have one little cut on me from on my leg. Is that on video? Uh-huh. Yeah, it's on Duckman, probably 13 or 14, maybe 15. We need to pull that up.

It's during till season. We shot a big bunch about 25, and there was a couple of cripples. So I loaded my gun real fast, and I turned around and grab my shells, put them in my gun without looking. And I turned like this. When I turned like this, I just kept going. Because Phil, heaven forbid, we put more than one board on the, bottom of the duck blind like we broke. They had one board that was like a two by eight.

Wasn't even a two but 12. And I'm a 13 and when my foot slid, it went off the front of that blind and I just kept going. He got on. See, so I tell you. And then when we got up. Hey, when you get up there with mud on your boots, they get slippery. Yeah, it was slick. Yeah.

Phil said, oh, I had another board. I reckon I should have put it. Yeah. I'm like, well, ain't all of us still an athlete like that, son. Some of us got a 13. I'm not 20, 20 boys. Yeah, that was. And, of course, I'm on the end where everybody gets into, so everybody got mud on their boots is walking past my deal.

So you want to talk about slick. We started adding shingles after that. That was a little, that was a, that was a realization we needed some grip. Yeah. Bigger board and grip. Martin went down. Unbelievable. Yeah, I felt smooth out that thing, right out the front of it.

That's fun. At least it was September, it was warm. It wasn't bad. Yeah, it wasn't cold water. No, it was fine. Hey, and we still, we killed a bunch of them. That was good. That's good, huh?

Well, let's take our last break. We'll be back right after this. We met a guy in Mississippi who knew Phil lots of years ago when Phil lived in Arkansas, and he said that they lived close to each other. Phil got Ms. Kay's beetlebug stuck. and borrowed this guy's tractor without asking him and went and got the beetle out. That's not borrowing. Well, hey.

That's stealing. And he stuck that and finally got it out. He brought it back and parked it. And he didn't even ask the guy if he could use it covered in mud. The guy got mad and went down and shot holes in Mr. Kay's beetle bug. And he said that they drove it around like that for, you know. The rest of the time. He was lucky.

He didn't get killed. You know what that told me. That's why Phil likes all them, them boys to live around him. He put them all on the clock and pay them so they wouldn't steal from it. Well, no, no, because, hey, when Tommy Field was in college, they both had a BW. And look, they'd load it down with, you know, them, two and two more football players. Well, they just drive out and get stuck. They just get out, pick it up, walking out the hole, get back in it, keep going.

I used to have. That was their four-wheel drive, a beetlebug. Yeah, my parents, I was bad about getting stuck. So the four-wheeler they got me was like a Yamaha Breeze, a little automatic 125 or no, it's 250. You get stuck, just hop off of it and pick it up. Yeah, figure it up. And if you start, if you get in something too deep,

just hop off of it real quick and it'll float. That's right. And then just hold the throttle and treat it like a motor until it got on ground again. We've done that in the Beatles. On 12 mile bow, flooded. Oh, yamaw breeze. Hey, you know, and hey, they're airtight, a beetle is.

Not that one. Well, I understand. Both of them in, if you ain't shot holes in their airtight, they'll float. Yeah. We just, I get out and push it, push it wherever we want to in the water. All right, Johnny D. We're back. Look, what's in that mail bag?

Hello at duck callroom.com. All right, I just got a good one here. Because, you know, Ian pretty much tore Florida up. It did. And Dave sent an email in. He works at an electric co-op in Baton Rouge. So you know they're headed down there. But he sent this picture of all of them preying over all the guys.

And I just thought that was super cool. That's awesome. And especially thank you to our linemen. I know I was super appreciative whenever we had hurricanes and y'all came and got our power back on. And hopefully y'all can get down there, do your work safe. Most importantly, and come back home. And get those people down there back with power.

And if you're in Florida and you're listening, we're still praying for you guys. Hurricanes suck. They do. Basically, what a guy. Yeah. So far, I'm not even going to lie. I'm thankful we've had a year off from them. Yeah.

Because we had a good two, three-year run there. Like we had a bullseye on us. So I hate it for the folks of Florida, but I'm also extremely. thankful it's not us so one of those kind of weird deals but what else it is crazy though when those happen and then you got linemen from everywhere they show up from all over the place willing to help ready to help yeah man they they're the unsung heroes and all of that um all the first responders get a lot of credit which they deserve rightfully so but the linemen a lot of times get overlooked so yeah because you can't it's hard to clean up until you get power and yeah nowadays everything runs on

You need somebody to turn the grid back on. Yeah. So appreciate you guys. That's when you go find your neighbors that still run two-cycle motors. And they're like, yeah, you got gas. Let's roll. Let's roll. It's good.

All right. I got a question for you guys. Kyle. Kylie. Kyle, from, he's from Wisconsin. Kylie. Kyle says, thanks for the podcast. He listens.

He loves it. Air Force vet. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Kyle. Thank you for your service. He also thanked you in Stone for y'all's service. This one's kind of a doozy.

Are you ready? Beans don't go in Chile. Oh, I didn't know how hard it was going. Yes, they do. Anyway, I've recently started attending worship service at a new church, literally just last week. And the organist is beautiful. Kyle got a crush on the piano.

He sounds like sigh. I have a tendency I have a tendency to come off as awkward or weird because I'm not super great at talking to women I was wondering if there's a super easy way to ask if she'd like to go get a fish fry or a plane ride over Door County, Wisconsin without coming across is odd

he knows we've answered questions like this before what do we got for them? A fish fry or a plane ride? How am I about to take her on plane ride for first date. That may be weird. Is he the pilot? That's like third.

He's an Air Force veteran. That's what I'm assuming here. You think he's flying a plane? He knows somebody that's hot. Well, it's going to be even weirder if there's three of them. I'll fix that. I like it. That's a great date.

I don't know if it's a first day. Yeah, you certainly don't want to set a bar there. Where are you going on your second one? Where do you go from there? You need to start at Chili's. Don't even take her to a nice restaurant. Start at coffee. I like it.

I like it. Coffee. babe, you good looking thing you, do you want to go to a fish fry or you want me to take you up in a jet? Si, say, go for it. Si says go for it. I say, sigh also locked Christine in a restaurant until she agreed to marry. That's it. That's it.

Yeah, it was, it was, it and ten staff begging her. Yeah. Marry him so we can go home. That's right. Marry him before he can get out of here. While I'm not discounting the effectiveness of said proposal. Fifty years. It is.

Look, you've got to be bold with women. Okay. I'm going with black coffee, but you just do whatever you do. So he hasn't talked to her yet. I don't think he's ever talked to her. I would start off. Are we sure she's available? Hey, how did you?

Yeah, she's got to be available. Here's the line. We're going to consent. If you'll play me a song, I'll fly you a plane trip. That is so bold. I think he might be right. Any way you want to go. You know what?

You do that video. That's right. Hey. I was going into this on Martin's side. I am still with Martin on this. What, coffee? Or ice cream. Good, Griff.

Coffee's boring. No, I want to start off boring. I'm more of a deer hunter when it comes to women. Watch them a while. Just wait. Make sure you got the corn pile out. Make sure everything's good. Take them to the deer stand, boys.

Hey, there you go. No, no, that is not what I meant. Oh, wait. Mm-mm. No. No. Not a captive audience in the woods with weapons. Nope.

Nope. Not what I meant. Oh, good. I just meant the strategy, not the actual. So Martin's saying you need to go a little slower. Si is saying you need to walk up to her. Say, you're a beautiful woman who plays the piano beautifully. I'm getting my plane.

You want to go on a plane ride? You want to go to a plane ride, baby. And I see a scenario where that works out. Me too, in a movie. Yeah. The Hallmark Channel. I mean, like. I'm just saying the odds are really low.

Well, hey, look, hey. But if it does work, that's a good, unique way to break the ice, boys. But you've got to find out who she is. I mean, what if she's beautiful, but then, you know, her personality's terrible? He's only been there a week. Are we certain she's not married? We're assuming that. I don't think he would send this with her being married.

I think he knows that she's not married. He knows she's Facebook. Well, then he's very bold if he's done found that out. Maybe he asks If he's only been there a week That's a good point Well he's smart So he wasn't there for

So he's smart He's got this figured out Now I think she's available We're going with that You do need to find that out I just like to confirm that first Do you do you drive with Harley Davidson Wait what?

Yeah There's size lines Some of size pickup lines Hey baby Hop on the back and let's go play easy rider And go up and down I believe Si would do it that way.

Si never had relationships with like, you know, using any kind of social platform or anything. Don't be like everybody else. You don't go get a cup of coffee? No. That is true. She's been asked.

Here's the deal, my man. Hey, you won't go take a plane ride and make out? Look, you don't like plane ride? I like it. I love it. That's the one. You walk up to her and say, Hey.

Now you're getting my dog. You want to go on a plane ride and make out, and when she most assuredly says no, you say, what, you don't like plane rides? That's right. You don't like plane rides? And she's going to laugh. Right?

Yeah, that's the joke. I'm glad you got it. Thank you. I love it. She's going to laugh, and then you go, I'm just kidding, I am a pilot. Maybe we can go on a plane ride someday. Would you like to just go get ice cream or coffee?

There it is. That's the move. I'm just opting. I'm just looking as you are. Hey, I really want to make out. And then... You say that when you're 74. Yeah.

And then on the... I said it was 14. I believe he probably did. I did. On the school bus. Anyway. Hey, in the first grade day, had to separate me. Oh, my word.

We're finding that a lot about sight of... We're not giving great advice to this man. I'm going back... Oh, you bite your tongue. I think I've given it some pretty solid. I'm going back to Martin's side because it got weird. Hey. Okay, maybe I'm moving too fast.

I just try to on number one, stay away from captive audience. Okay. Like, in community, everybody's a little more comfortable. Hey, maybe I'm a little rushing a little bit. Hey, maybe we all just have a cup of coffee and discuss this a little bit. You can still end up on a plane. That's it. Second or third date, if that's your thing, take her for a plane ride.

I love it. He said you want to go on a plane ride. make out. Drive you plane to church. I always just had to say pizza. Hey, I'm lying the baby in the parking lot. Oh, my.

I don't think that's possible. Yeah, it is. I may get a ticket, but it's possible. What? I don't know. Send us out of here. That's ridiculous. I was trying to find a Bible verse.

Give us some Bible verse. That matches always. Is there one about plane? Well, I typed in a taken girl on a plane for a first date Bible verse and nothing came up but a story from 2021 did so maybe go Google that my man

we need more information I googled Bible verses about dating so we're going with the number one answers uh oh all right let me read this to make sure number one answer boys I like it 2 Timothy 22 so flee youthful past passions like plane rides and making out

and pursue righteousness faith love and peace along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Kyle, I'll say this, my man. You're at the right place to find you a good lady. That's true. And we didn't cover that. So good call on finding the organist.

Make sure she's single and try and make sense of what all we just told you. And good luck. Let us know how it goes. And then I remind you of the top three. Faith, hope, and love. And what's the greatest of them all? Love, baby. We're out.

I'm going on a plane ride. We'll see y'all next time.
