Welcome back. Look, folks, we are just coming off of Instagram live. Welcome back. So I wanted to hear from y'all today. So we hopped on Instagram live for a quick bit and took some questions. Oh, Philip wrote that down. Where did you get these questions? They weren't asked.

They were part of it. Does Sy's legs have a Facebook page? No or yes. Oh, they're insured for a million dollars? Oh, Lord. All right, we're back on the fan. episode. So let's see. I'm so confused.

These are the questions. I just got his short hand. This is, yeah, I'm having to read Phil's writing. I don't, you said, Phil, I'm actually curious about this one because you said you knew the answer. Why do they drink milk after the Indy 500? Oh, because I really don't know the answer. I was just going to make something up. I do they drink milk at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

It largely dates back to Lewis Meyer back in the 30s. Three-time Indy 500 winner drank buttermilk to refresh himself on a hot day. It's like a good recipe for a full system cleanse there. And he always just did it as a matter of habit. And then he won the Indy 500 and started drinking some milk because that's just what he did. That's just his lifestyle. put his feet up and have some buttermilk. Lucky milk.

And an executive that was with the Milk Foundation saw it, captured the photograph. And vowed to make sure it would be repeated in the coming years. Now we understand. Okay, it's a money-making deal. Got milk. Okay, yeah. That's right.

You got milk? It is a milk advertisement. Cool. Milk.com. Learn something new every day. Milk. com, order all you want. All right.

All right. For a normal feat. All right, the next one that I'm actually borderline interested in. Okay. They wanted to know what all of our dream vacations would be. So I'm interested in what Cy Robertson. I know where it's not.

Sighs is not the beach. Been there with it. It's not the mall. Favorite place to vacation? Dream vacation. Oh, Oh, dream vacation. I have one to go on with that.

What was the other question to ask? What will go to your favorite spot? You can't pick and choose. Well, no, no. No, no, it'll be the same answer. Oh, okay, that's fine, yeah. The favorite place to go. Yeah, okay, and then what was this?

Dream vacation. My favorite place to go is the same one that my dream vacation. Now, where is this? Where is this? Okay, this will be, I'm heading south. Okay, you go past New Orleans. Oh. And you keep going down.

And then you go till you can't go no more. To the road ends. Because, hey, the road ends in Venice. And you have to be in a boat from then on, buddy. You can go anywhere you want to. In the world. To the capital of the world. My favorite place to go in this world we live in, okay, is the marsh.

Okay, for either blue wing till hunting or, you know, sticking it to them big fine redfish. There you go. Oh, red. Caitlin from Texas or Canada, Texas. And then just to see the variety of wildlife. I thought you were finished, I'm sorry. Well, were the water's brackish? Oh, yeah.

It's nice. Look, you catch any kind you want. I call all five. What? Red snapper, redfish, speckled trout, some other ones. Oh, yeah, big mouth, largemouth bass,

and then there was another one. Catfish. Catfish. I caught five species. All of them. All of it. Dream vacation right there. That's it.

You broke my computer again. No, I didn't do it this time. Fitchie drag. Did you have something up? Because I hadn't been hitting it. No. It just stopped working. Oh, no.

It's piece of drag. I don't know. That's why. Anyway, what I was said. Caitlin from. Hey, I'll have it. Okay. Caitlin from Texas, Kansas.

Whose email I can no longer read because I turned my computer off. It's unplugged, dummy. She's in the... Way to go, sign. She's stationed in California. with the Marines and she wanted to know your favorite place to travel. Venice. So we're going to Venice.

To a town. See, I was more along the lines of like New Zealand. That's where you'd go? Yeah, where the stags roar and huts are everywhere. Well, hey, that would be, yeah. Yeah. He would go with me though. No, I don't change my mind.

It's not where he wants to go, but he'd ride shotgun. If they get that bridge finished. I would go on that trip. just for what he said. Would you invite him? Absolutely. Okay, you're in. What about JD?

The limit on ducks over there. He got to sell cricket. Look, the limit on ducks over there is 50 apiece. Fishing is anyone? Great. Okay, so me and Martin could kill 100. Oh, boy. Oh, yeah.

And then, hey, then we could go either fallow deer hunting over there because they got some monsters or the red stagg. They got some monster. Okay, and this is with the ones that've got the double crown. Okay, crown on each each antler. Yeah. That's why they're called the king of the, king of the herd there. So there you go.

That's where we're at. Like, what about you? What's your dream vacation, old field? I kind of like Belize. I had a great time. Belize? That's a girl. Huh?

Did you just call Belize a gar? a gar. Yes, that I did. They got a big old black marlin off the coast of the leaves. I know, and they got them bonefish and look, boy, I'm telling you, I didn't catch but little ones. I thought I had a whale. I'm serious.

Stone has one that hooked him, and he said, hey, here, you read him in and I'll film you. So I'm reading this thing in. Johnny D. You know what that's like. No, no, we got about a five-minute film here about me telling me, I got Bobby Dick on boys. He's about to pull me out of the boat. And look, when I get him in, he's about maybe a little bit bigger than this.

He's round and about that long. About like that? No, a little bit bigger than that. But, hey, I did. I thought I had a whale. Johnny D. Where you go? Yeah.

Where's your favorite dream place? So this is nowhere I've been. It could be. Yeah, he's good. But if I could go anywhere in the world, James. Dream vacation. Yeah. I would go to one of them giant reservations in Africa

and sit in the back of one of them safari. Hold on. Si wants to go with you. Look at him. And just look at the ant. I don't want to go hunt like a rhinoceros. That's not my deal. But if I could go on one of them safaris,

like down in South Africa. Oh, you can go over to Dale, huh? I've done that one multiple times. I'm shot at the way you said this. Most people, if they would say, okay, I want to go on a safari, they would actually want to shoot something. Wack and stack them? I'm not that guy, pal.

They're the other type saying, no, I just want to go and be there and then look at what's there. Oh, I mean. Which is really cool when you think about it. I would love New Zealand. I don't like, I don't have to kill a red stack. I want to hear them roar in those mountains. Because I know what it sounds like when they roar in the United States.

Oh, no, no, no, like you tell me, echoing off the real roars. The different meanings of their roles. That is. In Germany, okay, in Germany, okay, I got to hunt Red Stag. And that was one of the coolest thing. Okay, I'm in a stand, the high seat. They call it hoxed. I'm in the high seat.

The guy. And they're doing what you're talking about. They're roaring. Mm-hmm. Okay. Like a hair stand up and back in the air. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no.

Especially before daylight. Yeah. Okay. And then when you finally daylight breaks and you've got your paradoxes, you're looking, okay, and I'm saying, oh, there's a class one, Red Stagg over there on the hill, and he's bellowing, okay. Oh, there's another one over yonder, you know, class one. He's bellowing, yeah.

I had five, okay. And they're all, look, and they've all got a herd of, uh, 150 to 250. Females? Yeah, Heinz. That's what they call them. Okay. And look, the main bull is running the little ones everywhere.

He's never still. We sit there like 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He's been running and chasing all the boys away the whole time. Let me tell you this. Johnny Deacon attest to how they taste because I gave him a backstrap off of one. Oh, no, no, no, no. That's what surprised me because when Willie Cook, you know, what, the one that John Luke killed,

which was a huge bull. Yeah. And Willie said, hey, we're cooking, you know, and come over, and, hey, it was really good. I was shocked. Okay, you would think an old bull wouldn't be edible. Yeah. But that thing was.

The one I gave Johnny Dee was off a young dough. How'd that turn out? Oh, no, no, no, no. That's why I told them, I said, hey, if I ever go again, I don't want to shoot the red stag. Yeah. I want you to do yelling. Okay, and I'll buy the meat.

Amen. Okay. Yeah. But I just thought that was cool that, okay, you don't, you're not into, I want to shoot everything. Well, I, you just enjoy seeing it. The safaris are cool. That would be meat. I mean, you might see a line actually.

Well, the safaris is like going to a real life zoo. Yeah. Like, you know, a lot of, I'm saying a lot of the animals at the zoo. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I got no, I got no interest in killing a giraffe. Oh, not at all. There's only a couple of things over there that strike my curiosity and like a kudos one because that's just a cool animal.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm like you. But the rest of them are safe for me. I'd like to see that too, like a big thing. I mean, just like a big herd of wildebeest. And elephants? Yeah. Yeah, no interest in.

Well, Al, when he went to Africa, okay, they go by this, it's like a big pond. Okay. I didn't, I didn't, I've seen them on television. in the African wild, the crocodile. But it don't do, they didn't do it justice. Okay, because Al, I'll walk by this pond and they had the crocodiles in it. These things, they look like they're as wide as this table. That's a good way to lose a limb, Mary.

No, no, no, no. And they look, they're walking by them, and they don't just walking, you know. And I said, I didn't realize the crocodile was that big. They're big. But then if you think about it, you see them jumping on them wildebeest that are crossing the river on their annual 5,000 mile track. See, I need to see that in person. No, no, no, that would be fun to watch.

Because literally, there are so many crocodiles that these things are walking across crocodiles trying to get to the other side of the river. Yeah. Let's go. File that under, you don't want to be second. Yeah. No.

Yeah. We should go. Yeah, unreal. Yeah. That's footage. they had there was unreal. Well, there you go. So there's dream vacations. Let's take our next break. We'll be back to get into more of y'all's

Instagram questions right after this. It's all day. We're flying. We're flying. Favorite. All right. Look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means. That means more outside cook. And y'all know. We love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedale beef makes such a good product, ain't it good?

It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson, would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritels 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 cats. 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 Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat either, folks. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. All right, we're back. More fan questions this week here on the duck hall room. Si, they have asked, what traditions do you have for Thanksgiving and Christmas?

You want to go piece by piece? Thanksgiving first. Well, it starts with the thighs. Thanksgiving, I'm not really, we don't have a lot of tradition. We duck hunt. Yeah, we duck hunt, and then we have a big meal. You know, the big meal would be the only tradition. Fried turkey. Family meal.

Yeah, family meal. Yeah, family get together. Y'all do Wednesday night, don't you? Y'all do the Wednesday night before. We just do it whenever. Yeah. So I just shows up with that. No, no, I'm serious.

Christmas time now, that's a little different. Okay. Christmas is different at the Robertsons. I remember my first one down there. It was interesting. Because Kay, Kay, K and him usually have it at their house. and you know now that everybody in the world is married and having kids and everything they'll probably have it at willy's since it's but what's the what's the menu for Christmas at the Robertson Christmas this is the one thing when I showed up I thought it was kind of strange

has it gotten better over the year it's seafood yeah it's all seafood yeah for Christmas like fried shrimp k and Phil they and Phil cooks a etouet and the all grotton and all grotton and all grotting and, you know, the shrimp that you don't cook them. Boat? Yeah, boil, okay. And then Phil actually fries shrimp, okay, and he's ruined me from ordering fried shrimp anywhere. Matter of fact, the other day when we ordered it down in Florida,

that was actually edible, which was no, which is normally, normally I can't even eat them. We were in South Carolina, a stone. throw from the water. That's always a good. That's a, that's always a plus. Oh, yeah, that's why it was edible. Okay, they was fresh.

The boat had just come in and unloaded. Okay. I'm talking about right on the restaurant. Okay, because they come right there, load, unload, clean them, everything's fresh. Fresh scallop, all of it, you know, every bit of it's fresh. I used to love Thanksgiving as a kid because you were out of school the whole week. Like the only week off, you guys. That's a plus.

And we would, we would. hunt at the camp until Wednesday book it back. Mamaw would cook all night, Wednesday night and all morning, Thursday morning, and as soon as everybody got done eating lunch, load up the leftovers and back to the camp. You ate turkey and dressing for about the next five days until it was gone. Which it was good. Yeah, which by that time, but by the fifth day, you was like, all right, that's enough of that. I need something else.

I love leftover Thanksgiving food. Oh, I do too. I absolutely love it. but that was probably, I mean, I remember that vividly from my childhood. Like, because that nap you got on the way back to the camp as a kid because you couldn't drive, oh, it didn't get no. You didn't have to drive. It didn't get nobody.

Especially since you're like a beach 12. Mm-hmm. Okay, you need to rest just to get over what you ate. Yeah, you all swolped up from all them carbs and everything else you donate, and you buried it under a gallon of sweet tea. Oh, yeah. So ours was about playing football. We'd watch football on TV, and of course, we'd all bring the family together and eat,

and it was the young people against the old people. So we just had big football games. How'd that turn out? It was awesome. I loved it. I don't ever remember losing. I said, yeah, okay. Just like on the show.

You remember right, right? Yeah. But that's what we did. My wife's family only eats leftovers on Thanksgiving. I'm sorry. They better not listen to this. Okay. I have a bone to pick, and I've only picked it with.

my wife and hopefully none of her family listen they they cook the food and they do it so well and then they have to they're big into presentation in her family so they set it out on all these platters and then it sits there and it gets cold and then it sits there and then it sits there and then it sits there and i'm like are we going to eat this turkey are we just going to let it sit there so i've i've brought my own turkey to their Thanksgiving before so it would be warm you could eat it no one of the greatest challenges is trying to get a spoonful of dressing without third degree burns on your tongue. Oh, no, no.

They set it out and everybody gets in the line. And they're not fancy people. Is it cold? It ain't hot. It's probably about 78 degrees room temp. Yeah, and like, oh, I'll take pictures and send it to my friends. Well, the food's out, but we're not eating yet. And I don't know what it's.

That's like eating fish. I'll report back after this. No, no, no. The first time I dated a girl and went to her out and had breakfast. they fried the eggs, okay. You know, then cooked the toast. Braquist dates? Then done there, then done there.

And by the time it got there, everything's cold. That's what they did. That's terrible. And I looked and I said, I had to hit McDonald's. No, no, I just said, what are y'all doing? Well, eggs. I'm married into that.

Eggs and biscuits you cook last. Yeah. Because those are two things that don't age well. You need a little cold bacon or cold sausage. No problem. Hey, I can eat, but hey, not eggs. Not eggs. I want eggs right out of the skillet.

Yeah. And toast right out of the oven. In fact, when I cook eggs for like big breakfast stuff like that, I'm doing two or three at a time and like bringing you plate. Here's yours. Here's yours. Yeah, like a short order cook. Here's yours.

Yeah. You don't eat cold eggs. No. Unless they're boiled. Yeah, unless they're boiled eggs. Yeah. And a devil. Fried eggs?

No. No. Yeah, them rooster rockets are. pretty good. That's what I call deviled eggs and rooster rocket. Yeah, them things

are good. I like, my name daddy, every Thanksgiving, he wouldn't call him devil dags because he said the devil can't make

nothing this good. Oh, and then, yeah, Christmas, we do kind of the same thing. It was always around the hunting camp because, like,

that's where you went as soon as it was over. The only thing I miss it to Christmas because of it's all seafood is the duck in dressing. Yeah.

Y'all don't even do that on No, it's all seafood. It's all from the water. We do steak and fries. Look, this is like he's talking about, okay. This is about a two-day event preparing this food for that. Our grottin and all the stuff that we did, Kay and Field Fix, yeah. She fixes.

The only lady raised her hand, and she said, why is it something wrong? And I said, no, number one, how in the world did you get this much meringue? That's because she beat the end-in-lawedged by hand. Well, no, no, no. her own chickens hatching the eggs fresh eggs and then that was the deal fresh eggs allegedly yeah and i'm telling you hey it was 10 inches high you know you had to take like a knife just long 10 inches high yeah to do the meringue you know not then to get to the pie uh i'm a whipped cream more than meringue kind of no no hey fine what it works oh i love homemade meringue like i don't like

that stuff you get at restaurants no they just put on top of something high or some but if case it's in there and whisk them eggwags all the way up to the point it is really good but it's got to be fresh it's like and they got to be brown yeah because when they're done right okay there's little dew drops no tear drops tear drops all over the moraine yeah okay and that's uh it's just uh i'm with you buddy i know exactly what you told you're sorry he's so excited at it no no i want to say i want to say it's it's not it's not sugar but it's a sweet it's a sweet taste but it's not yeah i know what you're talking about so johnny d what about the desserts uh over at your wife's family's house that fine they're okay

yeah dessert dessert time you're good well i don't eat a lot of dessert well desserts generally come out of the oven and go to cool anyway so that ain't a big that ain't a big but i really don't eat a lot of dessert like at thanksgiving i try and see how much of the skin of a fried turkey i can eat preach and so then by the time you're done being that guy between that and the Then the bark off of the ham, like, I'm, I'm a guy. Me and my Uncle Joe are the carvers of the turkeys. And we just eat skin together. That's what I've got on from where it's stones out.

Yeah. Okay. And that, like, a fried turkey wing, I'm the only guy over grabbing a wing off a turkey. I'm like, let me hold him. You wouldn't fit in in our house. I'll take care of that. Is this a boneless turkey or is it a, no, it's a real deal. You cut that, you take that filet knife and you cut that wing off there and you get the gnawing on him.

So good. Because he's like extra well done when you fry it. There really ain't no way to not be well done on a turkey wing because you got to get everything else. I fried our turkey last year because Uncle Joe wasn't in town. I was sad. But it's so good. So I've got a story for you about a lesson that you've learned from your mom or dad. Well, let's talk about it when we get back.

Yeah. Let's take our next break and we'll be back right after this. Cy has won that he has just been dying to answer. So we're going to let him start there. That's right. The first one we want to talk about is baseball. Baseball. American's favorite sport.

Yeah, in the 1900s because of how slow it is. No, JD. It's still American favorite sport. Right? Right. Talking the microphone, please. Ow! I ask you a question.

He hit me. His oxygen is American's favorite sport. I would like to say, yeah. Something's wrong with baseball that needs to be fixed. It's too many. I'm an. Astros fan. Now that's questionable

these days and I get it. So no coming at me. It was from my childhood. Craig Bissio. Did you have any doubt that the Astros was going to beat the Braves last night? Atlanta can't win nothing to save their lives. They fall apart at the finish line. In every sport. Everybody else was screaming, oh, we got them.

We got them. I was proud of that. They forgot about one thing. What's that? The Astros has been here before. Thank you. Okay. That's one reason they're so hard to beat. I got a question. But here's the other side of this story.

Look, folks, between both of them, the talent is there. Okay. Yeah. They could flip-flop this thing back and forth. Okay, so all I'm waiting for is, hey, let's get to game seven. Okay. So, hey, look, ask those are going to tight. It's going to be 3-3.

And then we're going to have the real playoff game. So if you're wondering, we're recording this the day after game five. And it'll be over by the time to say. right. Well, size already called it. It's going to be... Well, hey, I've done to tell you,

folks, here's what's going to happen. This three to two now. I guess what, not tonight, but tomorrow night they play again? They got a travel day. Okay, so they got a travel day. So tomorrow night,

guess who wins again? Astros. No, wrong. So it's three, three. You're a Braves fan. Then another night. I'm a bigger conspiracy theorist on the fact that I think

Major League Baseball didn't want the series to end last night and share the ratings with Sunday night football. So when they have Tuesday all by themselves, the Braids win, and Atlanta sports team is the hero, and they get all the ratings.

Remember when the Falcons were up 28 and 3 in the Super Bowl? Hey, y'all heard it here first, boy, that was my prediction. My prediction is it's 3-2 right now, one night and then here another night. That's what it was last night. It was nothing in the bottom of the place. And it's going to be 3-3, and then. All you got's an airport.

Then is everybody, everybody. Everybody, every man for himself. Hey, I have an important question. Did you stay up and watch that full game? Because that had to be past your bedtime. No, no, J.D. Hey, look, when they tied it up, I went to bed. First inning?

A third. Hey, I went to bed at the third inning. He already knew. And then I said to myself, good night, boys. Hey, I know what I'll see in the morning when it comes on. Astros win. Are you an Astros fan? Yes, I'm Astros fan.

Why are we so alike? Yep, y'all are identical twins. I missed the days of the Twitter handle that ended everything with the Astros lost. Sports pickle? The Astros were bad for a while. I used to always go to Astros games with my dad. That was our thing we'd do every Sunday. But the Astros ought to give people like the Jets and all them.

You got hope. Like, look what happened. Now you got about said or even like, no, I'm not going to say that one. I'm going to say it. I like size commentary. I was going to say the University of Tennessee, look, y'all still have a chance, okay? Don't be mean to.

I look, I got family that's Tennessee fans. I'm married to a vault. I'm just saying it's been a rough eight years of marriage when it comes to football season. I root for Tennessee. I do too. It don't help. I root for anybody that's in the southern part of the United States.

He's hoping in one hand, he said. Hey, I hope your wife don't watch his podcast. She don't. She don't. She don't even listen. to me while I'm at home. What makes you think she going to listen to me when I'm away from me? I love you.

Have we answered a question? No. Well, hey, no, we answered the first one. Okay, look, hey, it's going to be that I'm going to play another one. Then it's going to be tied, 3-3. Hold on. Then we'll have the playoff game.

Nobody asks that. Martin says Debray's win. Okay. Excuse me. Wrong answer. Okay. The Astros are going to tie it up, 3-3, and then, okay.

Then it's every man for himself on game seven, because then all stop are pulled out, okay, and go for it, boys. We should have our own sports show. That's what we just learned. I mean, just hard-hitting, in-depth analysis. I would just be, if I was the announcer. Oh, it would be amazing.

I will be hoarse after the game because I would just be screaming. If there's any high schools close by, me and side, we'll come do your radio game next week. And give a play-by-play. We're a quarterback. For a nominal fee. I'll do the play-by-play. You be the color comedy. For a nominal fee.

equivalent to a Mike Leach post-game interview is what we are. We're all over the place. Which finally, for once in my life, I do agree with Mike Leach. They said, what do you do a candy corn? You open the bag of candy corn. You poured in the trash and go get a Reesey cut. No, sir. That was Mike Leach's post-game interview.

I thought he said, was just opening it and start popping them. No, he said, open it, throw the candy corn in the trash and go get you a Reesey cut. Well, hey, I like it. Mike Leach, you're smarter than I thought you were. Hell State. I like it. Well, hey, I know one thing, he's had some gun slingers when he was on his offense. Yeah.

And one of them was a puppy. They proved Kentucky was a, huh? Yeah. Leach didn't have Mahomes. Yeah, he did. No. Yeah, it is. Texas Tech, son.

Yeah, but he was at Washington State then. No, I thought he was still there. Uh, I don't think. You sure? I don't think. I want to say, I want to say, my home he had to say, my home he had. I want to say my homie had. I think that was a mistake.

I'm pretty sure that he was coached when Patrick Mahomy was there. Wasn't it, Kingsbury? I want one of you to be right and want of you to be wrong, so I'm not saying anything until I know for a fact that... Well, hey, look it up, buddy. You're not even close to right, Sae. Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing. Mike Leach was in Washington State from 2012 and 2019.

Patrick Mahomes was in Texas Tech from 2014. Who is that? My Holmes. Was Kingsbury the coach then or not? I don't know. Cheese, boy. I think so. That's where Kingsbury come from.

That's who... So, there you know. Well, we almost answered a question. Instead, we got the inside musings of Sci and Sports, which I very much enjoy. Okay. One of the other ones that you wanted to do. Well, well, answer one right after our first break. First break.

First break. We'll be back. All right, we're back. And we're back. Philip, you brought up on before we went to the break. Look. this this one i think is a pretty pretty solid one the fan asked what is the best lesson our dad has taught us so well i'll tell you um i didn't grow up like johnny d but uh my stepdad did on a store

do you remember howard griffin lends of toys loads of girls and boys okay it was so anyway i was next door to that no it was it was that store so anyway uh so i'm working. I'm in high school and I'm working and apparently part of the ceiling in the warehouse was falling down that was wet and nasty and gross and he said, Philip, I need you to clean all this up, get a shovel and a wheelbarrow, you know, load it up. I mean, this is a, this thing as tall as Martin. I mean, it's huge. And I'm like, why do I get all the junkie jobs, you know? I didn't want to do it. And I was like, I'm not doing it. And so I went and did something else. And I walked back by there about an hour later and here my stepdad is with his suit on he's got his

he took his jacket off and he's got his sleeves rolled up in his dress suit you know and he's in there with a pitchfork and a wheelbarrow cleaning it up and i mean it is disgusting just gross and i just sit there looking at him i was like i should be doing that you know and he said listen he said everything's important if i give you something to do it's because it's important. I would do it myself, but I don't have the time. That's why I ask you to do it. And you're talking about learning a lesson.

I said, please let me do it. And from that point on, I didn't ask anything. When something needed to be done, I took initiative and started doing it. It was a great lesson. Well, and it meant a lot to you, too, to see him actually do it. You know, like if you'd have walked by

in that pile would have still been there, you'd never learn that lesson. That's right. That's legit. That's what's up. No, that's a good one there. Si, favorite lesson your day, or most memorable lesson your dad taught you.

Yeah, it ain't the favorite. Something just doesn't involve the belt. Yeah, this ain't, this ain't nothing about this. It was a hard lesson learned, okay, because, you know, daddy worked graveyard shift in the off-field a lot, okay, and that's from 11 to 7.

So he comes home, gets in bed, tries to go get some rest, you know, to go to work, you know, tomorrow night, yeah. So me and my sister, I'm about 14 And what, Jan's three years younger, so she's 11 So we're having a little, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, so Well, I didn't even notice it. You know, mom said dad had been up about two hours

Walking around trying to find a belt Okay, while we're, every time we meet each other, So, hey, he finally just walks by us, okay, and we're ran, And he grabs the only thing handy. Uh-oh. Oh, I know. one okay so it's a 12-foot extension cord okay and look every time every time we used to talk about this okay my father would would you could see tears in his eyes okay when we're

talking about this and all he would ever say is did you deserve it and I would say yes sir I deserved it yeah who's dad worked shift work and had to work here in graveyard yeah I know we're yet yeah but I didn't get beat with no extension cord but there was a very different set of rules when he was working graveyard versus. But anyway, I always remember my father having tears in his eyes, okay, because he knew he went too far,

okay, but he was tired and he was angry. Yeah. And this is for parents. You never whip your children when you're angry. Yeah. You walk out of the room and come back and tell me, we'll deal with this later.

Yeah. Okay. Have that a little cool off section. Yeah. Well, you tell them, go in your room. I'll be there in a minute. You're like,

we're going to talk about this again, but I'm going to have to calm down a little bit before we do. Anyway, but hey, it did teach me a lesson, okay, because that was the last one I got. Yeah.

Okay, any other time that whatever he said, it was, yes, sir. Yes, sir. Absolutely. So it did. I did learn something,

hard-headed as I am. I did learn. Hey, you don't want to push him that far. So when, I want to, add a little something to that about being angry and not beating your kids, you know. Because when Blake started driving, I said, Blake, you have to take it slow.

You have to be careful. And I told him all these things, okay? And he hadn't been driving long at all. And look, I mean, this was like one day I said specifically, slow down, make sure you're going to speed limit, you know. I come in from work the next day, he's kicked back in the easy chair. I said, how's your day, Blake? You know, he said, they got me, Dad. I said, they got you.

He was like, yeah, they caught me. I said, what are you talking about? 85 miles an hour on the interstate. I said, everybody get out of the room, but you, Blake, you stay. I walked out of the room for 10 minutes, sweating, trying not to blow up. And I walked in there and said, what part of slow down, do not speed? Did you not? I said, walk outside with me.

And we had to go out and talk for a couple hours. I had to call myself down. But that's a great point. Don't discipline your kids when you're that angry. Johnny D. Now you're back working for your father. Who? Have you learned anything these first few days?

I learned where the menispins go this morning and how to price them correctly. All sorts of fun stuff. No, it's been good so far. I'm sure we're having a moment coming soon. No, but growing up, my dad, my dad just taught me to show up. And I've said it on here before. Like if you're an employee of someone,

if you just show up, it's that easy. Just show up. And my dad, I always remember harping on people. He would hear a term. Somebody would say, oh yeah,

I'm pretty committed to that. And he's like, nope, that's not a thing. The word pretty can't go before committed because you're either committed or you're not. And if you're committed,

you show up. And so I was one of those kids who showed up to church every time. you possibly could. I was, and, you know,

he works like 60 hours a week because he's committed. And so that was kind of the thing. My dad instilled him. Even if you feel like you had nothing to do, just show up and start helping somebody do something. Yeah. And those type of people are the one,

you know, if you do that here at Duck Commander, you've risen all the way up. I mean, there's only so how you can go here at Duck Commander because size. Yeah, I'm about three rungs on the corporate ladder.

But you can, you can scale them. Yeah. And so what he taught me, though, and what I'll always remember is just being committed to something. And if you say you're going to do something, you do it. And you just, even when you don't want to show up, you show up. Oh, yeah.

No, I say, my, I mean, that's kind of what I was going to say about mine. My parents always instilled to me make them wonder what would happen if you didn't show up tomorrow. Like, what are they going to do without you? Kind of a mentality. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, back in my heathen days, I spent a night in a parking lot of my jobs.

That way, I wouldn't over sleep. You know, I just slept in the truck because I knew they'd wake me up when they got there, you know. I mean, when you'd be out till three, four in the morning doing stupid crap and just, you know, it's like, well, I got to be there. It wouldn't know I'm going to call in. It wasn't none of that. And it wasn't like, I'm going to be late or not show up. No, I'm, no, this is my job. These people depend on me.

I'm going to be here. No matter how bad I feel. I'm going to be here. I thought that was the only one that done that. Nobody. Why, I was in the military. I'd come in just before time to get up. Mm-hmm.

And I'd lay down on my bunk, and I hadn't even messed with it, okay? Just lay it on top of it. That way all I do is tighten it up just a little bit, and then ready for workday. Yeah. Raise your hands if you ever left Willie's house and drove straight to work. That'd be a poker game. Oh, no.

Yeah, I'm a hard pass on that. Oh, no. going away. Yeah. You work for me. Hey, here's the worst part. Sometimes all you did was walked upstairs. Yeah.

And went to work. Yeah. I've been on both ends of that one, driving away and going to work and just walking upstairs and going to work. Right. Been there, done. But you were there. Show up, baby. That's a major one there.

That's a, and one that seems to be lost. Oh, yeah. Hold on. There's people that, you know. I don't want to say you both here. Well, the last couple of weeks, I've heard the excuse of my wife's sick. I can't come to work. What?

Huh? Huh? What does I have to do with anything? Just show up? Unless she's in the hospital and you have to be there with her. Uh-uh. Be there. Yeah, unless she's on life support.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's amazing to me, even the people that just. Or don't show up at all. Don't show up at all. Like, that happened. Or wait. Here.

Yeah. Wait 15 minutes after you're supposed to be there and then call and say, oh, by the way, I'm not coming. No. That one. That won't get you very far with me. Well, I'll tell you where that one I get you. That'll get you looking for another job with me.

Ask the guy that called. That's the guy called and did it. Yeah, it gets you a pink slip saying, hey, we've enjoyed having you. You don't even get the pink slip. You get the last checks at the front of the desk. It's on the mail. It's in the mail. That is one of my favorite speeches.

As a whenever you're like, hey. That's what I hear from all employers. I'll just let you go. Yeah. I just wish I had somebody that would show up. Yeah. Mm-hmm. It's that easy.

So what do you want to pass on to your kids? You know, what do you want them to look back and say? That just got deep. Well, I mean, we've all learned something. I mean, I think that same kind of deal. Like, you know, just if you say you're going to do it, whatever it may be. Do it. Do it.

It doesn't matter how trivial the task is. If you say you're going to take out the trash, take out the stinking trash. If you say you're going to show up to work, show up to work. And that goes for every stage of life. Like, just do whatever you say you're going to do. Be a man of your word and everything else will fall into plus. I would just fix to say, plus that gives you your reputation. You know, the thing is, talking about your reputation precedes you.

You know, if someone says, hey, you know, I'll be there for everybody that knows him, they know he'll be there. Yeah. Come hell to high water, he'll be there. Yeah. Okay, or he'll call and say, hey, look, I just had a death in the family, so I'm not making it today. Yeah. Because, you know, there's not any more that, like, used to, you know, everybody in them, everything you do, you've got to have it written down on a contract.

Well, yeah, that was what bred contracts. No, no, yeah. Because a handshake. Yeah. And a word. And a word. You got my word. You got my word?

That was his bond. Yeah. Well, okay. That was like, hey, I'll either, you'll either find me dead or I'll be there. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I want my kids to take initiative, you know. That's one thing is stay busy.

Do something. You know, if everybody else is on their cell phone, no. Get busy. Do something. Be there for a purpose. Yeah. I mean, just stay busy. There's always something to do, you know.

Self motivation. And then the other thing that my, I think my whole life has been trying to make sure that they're going to have a good relationship with the Lord. I mean, that's just, that's the utmost of importance to me. Amen. Yeah. Yeah. I love it, man. That's good.

All right. Let's take our last break. We'll be back right after this. To wrap up today's fan interaction show via the Instagram. I think this is a cool way to wrap it up. One of them asks, what's all of our favorite Bible verse? Anybody want to go first? Yep, I'll go first.

Go ahead. My favorite one is John 316 and 17. Okay. And the reason it's my favorite, the first part of it, everybody knows it, but God's soul of the word he gave his only one, God and the Son. Okay. That whoever believes in him shall live eternal. It shall not perish, but have eternal life.

But the favorite part, verse 7. Four. You know, because it says, okay, Jesus didn't come to this world to judge us. He came to save us. That's why I always tell people, hey, don't you dare turn your nose up at anyone. Okay? If the person that is the savior of mankind didn't judge somebody, then, hey, you ain't qualified. Hey, boy, ain't that true.

Yeah, I say that a lot of places I go. There's two things I'm certain of. one there's a judge two i'm not him yeah i'm not him yeah i'm not him so anything you've done yeah i don't care yeah because i had one that i was studying with once told me well you're judging me i said whoa dude careful hammer easy careful dude hey look i know i'm not qualified okay so hey no i'm not judging you yeah okay i've shared something with you okay and since you've heard it, you've judged yourself. Convicted.

And you've been convicted by what you heard, okay? I said, don't put me in as a judge. No, I'm in the same boat you're in, son. Sinful man, we're both sinful men, and we both need Jesus. Don't you tee tee down my back and tell me it's raining. Yeah, tell me it. That was one, I have two. Go ahead.

Ephesians 612, okay. And the first part of it is, your struggle is not against fleshing blood. And then it goes on to say what your struggle is against is the higher powers and authorities and rulers and evil forces in the heavenly realms. There you go. Folks, that should scare you. Okay, because it scares me. So you better be with someone of equal power. And that would be Jesus.

Phil? Romans 116. I'm not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of salvation for everyone who believes first for the Jew and then for the Gentile. So I'm excited about that verse because the gospel, the Greek word is Ewan Gillian. That's when God became flesh like it's on size shirt. God came down, became flesh, and paid for our sins so that we can be reunited with God. So I like to think of the gospel as being so important. and of first importance like 1st Corinthians 15 says so that's what I go with yeah that's what I mean

actually that's one of mine too I would say first Corinthians 15 1 through 4 where Paul takes a time to remind us about the gospel is one I go to you know back when I was sick my buddy handed me Psalms 91 too saying yeah my God you're my refuge oh yeah I trust in you and I'm safe and one that I've I've been on for for just a little while now, even since then, because everybody knows last year of my life is, it's been fun. Yeah. Well, it's been, because of this, it's been joyful. It's hard for me to say that.

But James 1, 2 through 4, consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. And that's how I'm looking at this season of my life. So right now, you know, for the past year, I go to that one often. It's hard to consider hard times joy. But you know what's to come. It's not about right now.

What's to come? What's to come? So, you know, that's where I'm at currently. So Johnny D. you want to. Yeah, I've had this. My favorite Bible has been the same one for probably my whole life, Joshua 1-9. have I not commanded you be strong and courageous do not be afraid do not be discouraged

for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go and that one you know it's kind of wild to think about that it's a command to be strong and courageous and then not only that you're not supposed to be afraid or discouraged that's a command from God to Joshua because we know that the Lord is with us no matter what hard times, you know, your past year's been pretty rough.

Wherever you go, God's right there with you. And in the end game, it's all good. Yeah. You know, we win, as I like to say, with that change of address. So that's always been mine. I mean, and I've,

past year my life's been pretty fantastic. I hadn't gone through a lot of struggles, but I had before, like with my son, when he was sick. And that was a verse that was hard to live by because there was a lot of discouragement and a ton of fear. But then you think, you know, God knows that. God's right there with you.

And he knows what you're going through and he's there for you. So we can go through tough times with strength and courage. Amen. That's excellent point. And also, I would add, you know, you don't know what other people are going through. You know, you never know. And so be kind to people, you know, give them a break. you never know what they might have going on.

That's super important. Amen. All right, fans, this has been fun. Look, I've enjoyed it. We've gone from funny to deep to spiritual to, but look, it's because it's what you guys wanted, the questions you guys provided. We thank y'all for that. Thank you for the interaction.
