I don't even know what we're doing. Are we filming? Welcome back. I don't know. Have we started? I don't know. We ain't started. Welcome back, Johnny.

I said, no, we ain't started. The numbers ain't rolling. Hey, nope. We have started. Welcome to the podcast room, boys. And we've gotten upgraded. Hey, we've got audio, boys. Oh, no.

Producers, audio guys now have noise makers over there. I like it. Just so we're all clear, this isn't me. Yes. So before y'all start hating on Johnny D. Speaking of that. What are we speaking of? Ben Stone was in a deer stand yesterday afternoon.

How is that speaking of that? Because it was noise. Noance. Oh, is this a story about noise? We're in the dearestown. I thought you're supposed to be quiet. First, we've seen six doles in Yerland. They come out.

When we drove up there to let me out, six of them run out of the field. Then we got to sit there for about an hour, and then about five minutes after four, Here they came back to six dozing years. But we're sitting there later, okay, and it's getting right near dark, okay? And Stone's it, fuck. Yeah. And it's a nice two-year-old eight-point comes walking on the stand.

He goes to the rice bran pile, and then Big Red comes out, and he's a big... Jimmy Red? Three-year-old, no. Nice big three-year-old. eight point buck eight points and he goes over at the rice band and a dough and a year

and then come out there and a spike and where's the noise we got five of them on the ramp you know so then we hear something like that's about what it sounded like

I'd never heard that before in the woods and I looked at Stone and I said Was it that loud? Yeah time out what did it sound like you know

and I said Stone what in the world was that I said I've never heard that in the woods before And he said, well, this is a deer. Keep throwing their head up, you know, I think it's some kind of predator. How many times they do it? Huh?

They'd done it twice, you know. So how was it? So then when, you know, hey, when they actually, they done it again, you know, the two bucks took off running, they left. You know, they left the area. Yeah. And I said, hmm, what scared of them? And he said, I think it's a coyote. So we're sitting there and look.

I threw my binoculars up. He said, yeah, there he is out in the field. It was too dark for me to see him. And then I hear, Ketang! Boom! You know, he said, I said, well, I know you hit him. And he said, oh, he's laying out there.

I got him. So he shot the coyote. Is that what it was? Yeah. You went and looked at him? Oh, yeah, we picked him up. Did you eat him? No.

It was a little female. She's got a bad habit. She goes over when we pour out rice bran for the deer. she'll come out and drop a load in it. Drop a load. That sounds like something Willie would do. Use the bathroom. Oh.

Okay, so, hey, the little female coyote, she needed a shot. You know, that's true. So we're trying to feed the deer, and she's coming out there telling the world what she thinks about feeding the deer. Get you some of this. Okay, get some of this. The man says she got a bad habit. You put out food, she goes to drop the load.

We broke it over that, though. We broke her of that, okay? You broke her of everything. She's no longer with us. Well, hey, that's right. Hey, you killed the right one. Female. Don't mess with us feeding their deer, okay?

She's just scared of her deer. Pitching loads in the rice brand, and now she's dead. That's just one of them things you don't do. It's just don't do. And you says she young. Oh, yeah. So that fits one of your favorite sayings about like young coons. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Whatever they can't eat, they drop a load on. They crap on. That's right. They drop a little bit. I've world famous for saying that. Is that true, though? What's that?

What are you saying? And look, and that reminds me. I don't know. I ain't ever looked at the pile of rash brand. I'm sure. That reminds me. That reminds me another deer hunt. Men, Chad, the nurse practice, and his dad was deer hunting in that same stand.

Same stand. Okay. Same deer. They are not doing it that day. Okay. So we only see, what, one yearling and a doe. Yeah. So, you know, it's getting prime time for the bucks to come out.

You know, and I said, hey, look, it ain't, be much today. Two coons come down the tree and get on the, on the corn feeder and start eating the deer corn. Bad move. I told Chad, I said, hey, look. Yeah, take them out. Did he?

We had a deer hunt. I mean, we had a deer setting for deer that turned into a, a coon shooting. I think I saw, yeah, with a coon skin hat on right after that. Size's done taking deer hunting to duck hunting. We got to shoot something, boys. I ain't been, I ain't been, boom, back, boom, wow. I haven't been duck hunting in, what, two weeks.

Well, there ain't a reason to. What I know. That's what I'm going on. Mega gar. Yeah. You haven't been in, two weeks? I thought they would kill some this morning because when we left the deer stand last night after dark, okay. You know, he got a text on his phone and said, hey, look, yeah, there's some ducks on the fields next to the field's property.

Yeah. So I thought they'd kill them today. No, no good. I mean, we hunted this morning. perfect weather, right? I mean, everything you want. Yeah, except no ducks. Yeah, no ducks.

We killed nine mallard, Joseph. All right, that ain't bad. No, it's good, huh? Nine, that's like full limits these days. Y'all, where's your hunt at? Up in Arkansas, right across the line. So it's just... Hey, you got to go north to kill ducks.

North or west. But we got another big front coming. It's weak here. No, but it's going to be cold. Yeah, but it ain't. And I know you ain't duck hunting in. No. Because the low is 20.

Oh, no. And the high is like 38. That means ice. And hey, look. Maybe a little snow. When there is ice. Oh, I don't mind snow. But when there's ice, hey, I will not be there.

You probably ain't even going to get out your bed. Oh, no. I'll be still checking my eyelids. So I'm going to put that cubie on the mattress. That's what's going to happen there. So I'm going to be pedaling in the bedroom. He's going to call me to bring his cubie over to him. Hey, I did work out the other day with that.

Did you? Yeah. And I've done three thousand. There you go. How much do you weigh these days? You're looking good. 174. And it's staying there.

Every time I get on it and look, 174. Two days later, get on again? 174. Mine's highly variable. I'm telling me. You know what I've noticed about time? For two weeks now. Anywhere we go, if he sees scales, he has to go stand on them.

And if he sees bells somewhere he has to ring them. things don't ever do. Even the UPS store? Anywhere we go. Yeah, hey, here's one of these things you never do. And he's going to weigh itself. You never go to a racetrack, a horse racetrack. What? Well, hey, look, they invited me over. Y'all heard this story before. Well, no, no. Anyway, they

invited me over, okay, to take a picture with the one in horse. Well, we're waiting, okay. I hope that sucker bit you. Oh, no, no, no. We're waiting for him to come down and take the picture. You waiting on the horse? Yeah, the horse race is. to be over, so we're down there so I can be with them when they put the roses on. There's a scale.

And I said, hey, I need to check my weight. So, hey, I got on it, you know, and I said, but slid it over. I told me, and there's a bunch screaming about, what are you doing? Security, like 10 security guards are running at sign. Everybody went berserk for about five minutes. Hey, get off the schools. And I said, wait a minute. What are you talking about, son?

I said, hey, they said, no, you can't do that. I said, why? And they said, you just don't understand. We got to wait the jockeys again. And I said, well, hey, don't worry about it because it's correct. 174. I said, you don't have to recalibrate it? I said, this thing's right.

I'll weigh 133. I said, then that's what it's got. And they said, yeah, but you don't, I said, yeah, but no, ain't, yeah, but nothing. I said, the scales is correct. Why do they weigh the jockeys? They weigh them before and after. They walk on a scale with the saddle. Yep.

If you can call it a saddle. It's a little, little bitty piece of leatherwood. Like a bicycle seat. Yeah. Well, hey, it's a piece of leather with two stirps on them. And, I mean, a very thin piece of letter. Well, they stand up. They're very little.

Yeah, they do stand up a lot. They're light. So they step on it, weigh them with it, okay. But then if they weren't a race, then they got to do it again. Be weighed again. Wait again. Why? That's just the rule.

To make it legal. It's a silly rule, but hey, they do it. They think they suddenly go and drop 20 pounds. Well, yeah, they think they cheated some way, okay. Way before and after So you can That's what I don't know Ask the powers to be that run the racetrack

Okay What I know is you got to wait before And you got a way after This is one in before and after things Found it We're weighing in and out Found it Up weighing in and out

There you go Give me one moment Give me one moment He's doing the research And the drum roll I mean I'm kind of that way I like to wait before I go to the bathroom And when I come out

Sometimes I can lose up to a pound and a half Hey, that goes with that little female coyote. Hey, then you know exactly what you dropped. Yeah, there you go. There you go, boys. Sometimes it's just good to know. It's just one of them things I want to know. Yeah.

I don't really understand why they do it still. He's read it and he still. I told you, it's a silly rule that they had to abide by. Oh, okay. That got it. Okay, so I'm terrified it, pardon. Here we go. So you.

So there's a limit. You have to weigh a certain amount because them jockeys are all very small people. Oh. So if you find like... So each horse has got to have like 150 pounds on his back. Right. For example. So it would all be even.

So the super tiny people have to wear weights. Do they really? This is not like football then. It's the opposite of football. Okay. It's the opposite. So you ever rode horses in your day? Oh, I loved them.

Yeah. I don't trust them. Hey, what do you mean you don't trust them? I don't trust a horse. Hey, how do you think we sell of the west? brave men. Let me tell you something. We wouldn't there settling.

We wouldn't. Hey, my great-grandfather was. I was going to stop at the Washington River. My family come from Tennessee and a covered wagon. I know. Where did they go to? The Wachita River. You know where I'd have been?

If I'd have been doing that, when I hit that Mississippi River, I'd have said, nope. Yep. I'd have been somewhere around Vicksburg, Memphis, depending on which way you went, Greenville, somewhere. I'd have been like, I ain't crossing that ditch, boys. It ain't going to try that. Too much water. Yeah.

Of course, it looked a lot different. You may could walk across it back in. You never know during the summertime. You probably could have walked across it. Is that or they may have felt, you know, refs? No, no. No, no. No, they had a ferry and they sang a little song.

Oh, no, no. You need to go, look, hey, you need to go to Arizona, Utah, and all them places and actually see where that they did cross, have it you know block and tackle and all this junk letting mules down and yeah yeah oh hey that was back in the day when the name when you said man oh it meant something entirely different than it does today oh boy hey you can put r e a l in front of that real men there you go well look let's take a real break and we'll be back right after that we're gonna take a real break break all right look springtime is here it's warming up you know what that means that means more outside

cook and and y'all know we love to eat beef around here and that's what because of our friends over at tritels beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall 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 Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and

shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails Beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. The weight of a jockey usually ranges.

from 108 to 118 pounds. And no more. Martin 8 weighed 118 pounds since the second grade. He weighed 118 pounds when he was born. The second's probably generous. Probably more like the first. I mean, I was a late bloomer, but come seventh grade, I ain't seen 120 since then. I was a thin little kid until I got them tonsils cut out.

Then I went on that ice cream diet for a little while, and I ain't ever looked back. Hey, blame him on the cream. I like him. Something in tonsils and adenoise jacked everything up. He does. I said, I just never took my tonsil out. No,

I'm glad they did. You got on an ice cream kick? That's it, boys. It's gone. I'm glad they took them out because I was never sick as a kid and still, for the most part, ain't. But, you know, COVID don't care if you got tonsils or not. You ain't kidding.

But, no, I was a thin, young strapping fellow until I got them tonsils out, and that's all of it, boys. He's looking at all the writing paranoia. Paranel you, huh? Tell them, sign. Whatever it is. Hey. Y'all know what it is.

Yeah. You know what I was talking about. I'm just reading about jockeys. That's right. And it's showing all kind of stuff that they wear. I bet they wear Tommy Johns. Oh, do they? They're lightweight and their thing.

Yeah. There you go. He's coming in for the stretch, boys. I bet they don't wear jockey. Where's our sound effect guy? Come on, man. You got a board. Boy, that was a joke.

God holy. That one needs a... Hang on the scene. Oh, yeah. I'll take it. I love it. Yeah, just throw one in every now and then, we'll go along with it. We're getting bonafide.

When he started having a man over there with sound effects, we're getting bono-fied. We're just turning into like a local morning radio show with that. That's right. Native American retina. This is like, good morning Vietnam. Oh, by the way. Yeah, how you go. Hi.

Side. Let me tell you what I saw on TV. All right. They were doing a special about Vietnam, and they showed the truck gunners, these trucks that would go, when they would be bringing supplies in. Duce and a half.

Yeah. These big trucks had guns, big guns. Quad-50s. Yeah, I'm talking about awesome. And they would be the protection for these. They ever let you drive on there? Oh, I drove Duce Laph all the time. But I'm talking about with Quad-Fitties.

Well, no, but I'm talking about it. I've seen them. But they had names like Brutus and all these kind of names that they put on the side of them. That ring that that, them quad-fitties is on. Yeah, I mean, it's heavy, big-time heavy, but it has to be. 50-caliber machine guns are heavy. Man. And then if you put four them in that ring.

Okay. Well, they said that. I could just go outside and you picked the tree. If I had quad-fifis on that d'is-eye, I could make it in toothpicks. for you and just well that's one of the things they said is that if they had their enemy hiding behind the trees oh yeah they just and they had the other guns they just yeah they just have to shoot around them and try and get them but with those guns you're talking about you just cut the tree down that's exactly what they said you just shoot the tree till it fell down no you shoot right through the tree yeah those bullets go through it

it be like a buzz saw it would take it now that's sound effect but it's about five about not I'll say 10 times louder. Fittalibre is loud. Just like the mini gun, 20 millimeter, it's loud. Now, how do we go from this? What was we talking about? You had talked about some strange sounds earlier today. Oh, horse jockeys, strange sounds.

Quad-fitties. Quad-fitties. Oh, no, you said, welcome back to Vietnam. Oh, good morning. Morning Vietnam. Oh, yeah, we turned into a morning. There you go. Okay.

We just traced our... It got steps back. Now what? Hey, here's what I got in my fortune cookie. Sometimes you can be walking around lucky and not even know it. That's true. You got that in a fortune cookie. I don't know, man.

Fortune cookie. What do we do after hunting and football season? We go fishing, but then what do we watch? You don't watch anything. I can't wait for... You eat crawfish. Well, we finally get more hours in the day, so it's not dark at fourth. You watch Ted Lasso.

and you laugh. I need to watch that. That's a good show. It's a language. It's a little British on the language. The language is kind of. It gets a little British. It gets a little British.

British people's curse words just don't, they don't, they're not offended by them. Yeah, they're real fond of one Ted Lassow. They just, those British folks, why y'all keep cussing British folks? There's some British folks. Because the sun never shines over. I'd be mad too.

We spent two weeks over there. You don't ever say this one. No, no, no. You're right there. I know. You never. I never see the sun and it rains every time you get out from under a roof. I'd be mad too.

Oh, no, no, no, no. That happened in Germany. Look, and it went for like 40. Hey, yeah. That happened to Germany, okay, for 45 days we'd never seen the sun. You know what else? It was always rain. 45 days?

I'll tell you what else. And look, I know we got people. And it rained the whole time. I know we got people from the UK that comment on this podcast, and I appreciate y'all. But I'm just telling you right now, life's too short to not have a. ice and a salt shaker. Go treat yourself. I'm just safe.

The ice thing's weird over there. That and such thing as, you know, like hot sauce and stuff that gives a little bit of flavor. Well, if they would just start with a salt shaker, there's no telling what they'd discover. But they all see it off. But anyway, let's take another break. We'll be back while Johnny Dee puts the air back in his chair. Welcome back. Oh, boy.

I was like, welcome back, Carter. Yeah, that sounded like a live audience, sir. We should do one in front of a live audience. That way we could get in trouble. No, we can't. I'm a big believer in non-live. Well, we'd had someone email in asking if we'd ever do a live podcast. I mean, I would if there was like a little crowd because I think it'd be fun to interact with a crowd.

We need to do it like a fan, live, like a hundred people. Okay. All right, I've got to tell you all this. When we went to Hazard Fest, the Dukes of Hazard Fest? Yes. I was there. Yeah, that's where Philip got the to-go meatloaf. Oh, yeah, he brought the hamburger home.

Waw, waw, waw. I got a question about... There it is. No, stop. Because the guy who put the show on said he'd love to have all the guys from the duck call room come back next year and do this same thing. Because this kind of was like what we did there. We were up on stage, me and you and Godwin and Sine.

Yeah, I just made Instagram stories while Sye talked the whole time. What I used to do when Sine Willie had... appearances. I just sit in the back and giggle. So we could take the show on the road. Take the show on the road. We're on the road enough. I ain't trying to.

I'm not on the road ever anymore and it's wonderful. Yeah, I know. I drive five minutes a day. Traveling's one of them deals. It's really cool until it's your job. Yeah. And then you just get... Then it gets bad.

You get tired of living out of a suitcase eventually. So that is what it is, I suppose. Anyways, what are we going to talk? about that. I don't know. What do y'all want to talk about? I'll tell you this on our duck hunt this morning. We killed a banded muller drake. How about that? Have you called it in yet? I show did. Where was it from? Where did the bandit? Any guesses? Louisville, Kentucky. No. Illinois. No. Minneton, Minnesota. Somewhere in Canada. Uh-oh. Hey. Congratulations.

Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan. Yeah, us two that we've killed on that piece of property, both banded in Saskatchewan. I went to Saskatchewan once. Yeah. That was the most redneck place I've ever been in my life. Alberta's the same way. It was beautiful.

It was beautiful. It went to like the Calgary Stampede rodeo or whatever, and then we went to the indoor lacrosse game. How was the rodeo? It was cool. Yeah, it was neat. That's a big deal. Yeah.

Yeah, Gavon was fired up. Oh, yeah. He used to be a rodeo. He was a bull rider. Yeah. Me, I was just like, that's an awful big animal there, so I can get him away from me. Yeah.

They had them jumping. horses there, them bucking bronx and the boys was riding them things. Yeah, Lee. Lord, have mercy. I'm into Canada. I want to go back to Canada. Yeah. I've only been one time. One of these days.

One of these days we'll be able to get back in. Oh yeah, are we not allowed in Canada? I'd like to go to the prairies when the ducks are actually nesting. And go look at them. Yeah. Just stare at them. That would be cool. We have a bunch of people from Canada that listen to this. Oh, I know. They're fantastic. I like, I've always had very

positive experience with Canadian folks. Because when we went to Alaska with what Bill Graham's deal? Yeah, Franklin. This dude emailed me. You know, that was where the grizzly bears fattened up before they hibernate on Big Salmon. There you go. My man Dane from Manitoba, Canada emailed us, and he wanted to trade weather for the day. It was minus 48 windshield.

No, you can have that big day. Yeah, but the thing about that is, okay, that's a dry. No, no, no, no, minus 48, ain't. No, no, I'll drop it. No, no. I know this, oh, go ahead, side. Yeah, but I know this for one reason. That's, hey, it makes a big difference if it's a dry cold or a wet cold.

I know that, but minus 48. I stepped off a plane in Anchorage, Alaska, but it was 40 below, and I was actually comfortable walking from the down. the steps of the plane inside. Do we have a sound of that? Until I actually got inside and realized how cold it really was out there. Yeah. I mean, you do have, that argument has merit.

Oh, yeah. If it's not minus 48. That's just cold. Wet, dry, and different. There's a different cold. 30 degrees here feels colder than 30 degrees up at matter. Yeah. We had these boys this weekend come in and hunt from Wisconsin

that bought the hunt at the Tim Tebow deal. they came by the honey-haw. They froze to death. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, it was raw, though. I mean, wind right in our face. Cold, humidity. It's an entirely different base.

And they were like, yeah, yeah, this cold down here gets in your bones. I was like, oh, I'm aware. I mean, I've lived in it my whole life. It's in your soul. I said the heat does the same thing about mid-August, too. So, like, it's a real deal. We went ice fishing that was 20 below. Yeah, they kept trying to get me to come.

20 below. 20 below. Is that the coldest? And that wasn't that bad. It really wasn't. It really wasn't, yeah. No, size right. I had a light jacket on.

That's because y'all stepped out and stepped into the shack. No, no, no, I'm just saying, though, but it wasn't that bad because I had a very light jacket on. And we also went behind the snow, the dogs. Yeah, dog sledding. And it wasn't that bad, but it was 20 below, and I thought I was going to die. But then when we got out in it, it wasn't that bad. Erroneous. I know y'all were cold.

The coldest weather. It's entirely different deal. No, it's the entire. We were in Chicago one time and it was six degrees and I said, this is how I go out, just in the middle of the street in Chicago. That was just what I was fixed saying. We went to Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's not even north.

When we was on the real grand over at duck hunting, that's exactly what temperature was. Six? Six degrees. And I was comfortable. No, the coldest I ever been was that first time we went to Kansas duck hunting. Oh, no, no. There was just enough humidity in that place.

Yeah. froze to death and not on that and we was on the blind was metal we had ice up under us it was like a refrigerator any heat wrong answer dude don't make a blind out of metal i froze to death oh no i like to die i like to die okay me and ice do not get a long period okay that was the coldest i still is the coldest i've ever been even by the first i'm the coldest i've ever been even by the fire I couldn't get warm. Like, I was, I mean, that was. I never did get warm until I got back home and I sat in front of the fire.

It seems like when it's, when it's a cold that's kind of wet, that it's hard to get over. Oh, man, I'll never forget that cold. That's why when the greatest hunt they ever had on Field's property, I was not there for one reason. You're scared? It was iced over then, and Jay's used the chainsaw to cut the ice hole. Oh, now we killed them at that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Quick.

Full limits in about 15 minutes. Yeah, about eight guys. I like cold. I don't like misery. I mean, I want it to be cool, but I don't like being miserable. Have you ever been married? Only for seven years. I ain't been miserable.

He ain't in the misery. Not yet. Not yet. He ain't got to the misery. Still honeymoon. I'm just joking. Still honeymoon, I haven't been married for 50 years. I'm about the honeymoon.

I'm not joking about the misery, but I am about the honeymoon. I've been married 50 years. It ain't the measure involved. Oh. My wife got in bed another night for me and said, are my feet cold and stuck them to iceberg? She had attached to the bottom of her legs on me. I was like, no, you got to get out of here. This ain't even cool here.

Till cold does us part. I mean, she said, you're always so warm. I said, well, get them off of them. Get off of me. This is no flies on here. No flies on. So after 30 years, stuff like that, no, I'm immune to it. I just let it go.

You just let it happen? Yep, put the cold feet on me, I'm fine. But I done got all toasty, you know, I done got nice and toast. And she stuck in two icebergs on me. Man, I ain't ever felt somebody's feet cold. I told her, I said, check you, Paul, see if you're alive. That's not a day. I mean, cold, son.

I don't understand that. Brief. Well, let's take another break. I don't like being cold. after this. All right, we're back. We're back. Back.

After quite a break. Very long break. We're having a case of the Mondays. That was a needed break. I'm having a case of the Monday. I got something for Mondays. Hey, what do you got? What do you got?

It'd be where your best shot, JD. A little story out of Tallulah, Louisiana. Right down the road. You've been there, huh? Yep. I have. Julio's on the river. Don't know what that means.

Colby from Heber Springs, Arkansas. Yeah. Loves the podcast, and he sent in a new story that was about his grandfather in Touloula in 1983. Oh, okay. I'm interested. Were you born yet, buddy? No, I was not, sir. Nor was that.

What? Set the dial to 1983. What happened in 1983, J.D. 85. To his grandfather. There was a lion on the loose in 1983 in Touloula. A lion on the root. For what?

On the loose. On the loose? Yes. Oh, I thought you said roof. On the roof. Okay. No, it was not a black panther. This is a regulation line.

Here's a picture. From the zoo? No, it was somebody's pet because the 80s were awesome. The 80s were awesome. Look, so there's the lion. So this line's on the loose. It starts on a dog poodle killing spree. Well, then he killed a poodle.

He killed a poodle. One of the neighborhood poodles got got by the line. Okay. And then, old Kobe's grandpa got trapped by him, basically, outside of the yard. And his only defense was a fly swatter. Oh, no. That ain't very good. So he's swatting at the line.

He gets the line back, gets inside, gets his gun. Then he throws a rock at the line. That doesn't work. Then he shoots the line. I would have started there. Well, hold on once. It does say. Rat shot.

No. Whatever I can get my hands on. A 7.7 millimeter poplar St. Japanese rifle. Yeah, no wonder. Okay. You know why the lion kills the poodle? This is just my favorite. Because cats and dogs don't like you.

No, no. No, because he thought it was actually a lion and he said, you're a sissy. I ain't going to let you live. This coming from a man who owned a poodle. Well, hey, it is killer. Name killer. Hey, look, I've got more photographs of him that I had to sign. Me and killer.

You and killer? Me and killer. Didn't you send that dog back? Yeah, I actually shot a dove one day, okay? He went out to get it, and when he come running back, he was running too fast, and I grabbed him. They got real sensitive ken, the poodle do. And it actually pinched him, and he tried to bite me.

So I had to send him back to the dog's the dog. trainer for remedial training. There you go. There's the story of killer. Anyway. Look, I feel for his granddad. As a man who's been trapped by an animal, you'll do anything to get out of there. What were you trapped by?

Not a line. By Britney? No, this is, this is mildly more. That he didn't mind. He didn't mind being trapped by her, okay? Oh, is this when she put the cold toes, then he? Oh, yeah. This is mildly more embarrassed.

I love that woman. I'm very interested in what animal had Martin pinned. I mean, it must have been a big animal. Oh, no. Big. Hey, it's a mountain lion. No, we were. It's a mountain lion.

No, it ain't even nothing that cool. She comes from Tennessee, boys. She come up there with mountains. So we were hunting in Texas. We're turkey hunting in Texas. And we get there late one evening. The guy drives us around. He's showing us the whole place.

and he said be careful if you end up in this pasture because there's ostriches here oh and they're mean and he was like he said they may be nesting we ain't really seen them in a while whatever okay cool yeah well it's we're flying around this place so next day we go turkey out turkey gets a goblin right so we there we go we strike off I told miller I said I just go kill that turkey you know it ain't but one of them So I ain't the reason for both of us to go. So go kill him. I'll sit right here to the truck. Well, I'm sitting in the truck.

It starts to mist rain. Well, all our stuff's in the back of the truck. All our shotgun, you know, shotgun shells, vest, all that stuff's in the back of the truck. I'm like, well, let me get it out of the rain. Yeah. So I get out. I'm gathering it all up. Mind you, I'm in the bed of my truck.

And I hear her. And I'm like. That's that sound you heard. I know. But I'm like, what in the world was rain? Yeah. Yeah. And then I heard it again.

I said. It was a taradactyl. So I said, nobody panicked. And I turned and looked. And there was the male ostrich. Ooh. Swallow up. He didn't like you.

Swole up. He had them little short stubby wings out like this coming at me with his head lowered and just hissing. And I was like, no, buddy, that ain't, uh-uh. This ain't okay. Wrong answer, dude. This ain't okay, fellas. But of course, I'm at the back of my truck. My gun's in the truck already.

I don't put it up. And I'm like. Well, now what? So I get in the back of the truck. I get on the roof. You're on the roof of the truck? Well, I had to get to my door. I wasn't going to do it from the ground.

He got to get to a gun. So I went around. And I'm crawling over my roof of my truck, and I'm trying to reach that door handle. And even at 6'4, you just don't bend like it. I finally got it open. So seeing a man my size go from the roof to inside the truck, I'm glad they wouldn't know cameras.

Yeah, it was amazing. But it was a desperate, I mean, you had to get there. But I got in there and I grabbed my gun and I cracked that window. And I just pointed it out that window. I was like, you rascal? If you come at me. You're right. Don't make me do this.

I don't want to. Well, so he's looking, finally gets satisfied. He doesn't scared me off, which he had. I mean. Ostriches are big. He had. And mean apparently. And then walks off.

Well, I'm like, okay, thank God. Praise God. And I'm sitting there, and all of a sudden, the turkey quits gobbling. So I'm like, well, Miller about to kill him. Ain't no thing. And about that time, I hear the weirdest sounding gunshots you've ever heard. I'm like, that didn't sound good. Well, then I heard it again.

I said, something's wrong with Miller's gun. So I went to go find Miller. Yeah, I told me he may have shot himself. I found a man and an ostrich. And an pout. Yeah. That ostrich has done snuck up arrow Miller while he's using that turkey call and beat the tar out of him. Ostrichers are mean.

I'm talking about being. The same one. The same one. Yeah, he walked that way, but I wasn't thinking of it. And in self-defense, Miller had to shoot his way out of this. So at that time in his life, Mike Miller had converted, and I hadn't heard him cuss in probably 10 years. Well, I walk around the corner, and that boy is letting out every cuss. word you have ever heard in your life.

He legitimately got hurt by this ostrich. Got whooped by him, son. Yeah. They got the gun knocked out of his hand, finally scrambled over there to the gun, and shot the ostrich in the chest twice at point-blank range because he was just curb stomping it. Because they swing their head.

Well, no, no, no, no. Look, hey, and not on that, hey, them thirons have got big feet. Oh, yeah, kicked him right in the chest. Look, and have got big toenails. Yeah. Hard toenel. You know what saved Miller? His binoculars.

That turkey kicked, or turkey, that ostrich kicked him right in the chest, ripped his binoculars off. We found him like 20 yards away from where they went flying. But the funniest part of that was we dug cactus needles out of Miller. Oh, yeah. For the next two days. Because that ostrichs just went round and round on him and whooped his butt. Of course, I'm laughing. Now that I know Miller's okay.

Yeah, that he's not dead. But when I heard them weird gunshots, I was like, you knew something wasn't right. Something ain't G-Haul, and then I never thought about the ostrich walking over there and whooping him. Did you towed a gun with you when you went to go check on him? Oh, buddy, did I? Yeah, I knew he went that way.

I just didn't realize he went and attacked Miller. So did y'all have to pay for the ostrich? We did. We wrote a check for him. That's fine. John David, your uncle used to have a bunch of ostriches. They would give us eggs, big huge. ostrich. Yeah, my uncle ran an ostrich farm. And I tell you what we did too, we cleaned Mr.

ostrich, and we ate him. He'd pretty good eating. Were you still mad at him? They ain't pretty good. I wasn't mad at him. No, he let me off. No, man, me and him was cool. You got away. Me and him was cool. Yeah, when you had that gun pointing at him, he was like, I did, I did have my gun just precariously out the window of my trucks saying don't do it. Mike told me a story about it. Of course, all I had was a 20 gauge and I'm like, the thing's fast, too. Watch this dude. Watch this dude. Watch it. Boom!

Is that Miller? That's what happened to Miller. No, no. Mack told me that and he went in the pen and wasn't thinking. Well, we didn't know. Hey, he knocked him down with that big foot. He said, I'm glad I had my hunting coat on. He said, that's the only thing.

He probably stuck me with that toenail. Is Miller a big guy or not that big? He's average. I mean, he's six foot, 180 pounds, you know. Hey, Austin is a big bird. Oh, that's a big animal. That's a big animal. I got a picture somewhere if I followed Miller holding the head of the ostrich up.

I said, well, you got to take a picture with him. I said, that thing, I said, he. Hey, who you've been in the fight with? You don't want to know. Yeah, he won the battle, but he lost a war. They should have had him stuffed on the, so he's on the ball. Full-grown ostrich is like the size of Martin running twice as fast as Usain Bolt. And way more agile.

Oh, yeah. Ostrich will whoop you. Oh, I'm telling you, when that sucker, you ain't ever felt fear in your life until you'd gather and all your stuff at the back of your truck. You hear, and that second time when curiosity gets you, I felt like the guy in a scary movie, you know, when I hear the noise and they go investigate, well, when I heard it again, I had to know what was behind me. I was like, oh, boy, here we go. I'm serious. That's about what I heard last night. I don't think it was an ostrich.

It might have been. Escape from Max Farm 20 years ago. I had never heard that crazy sound before. Well, look, if that officers get after you, get behind stone. Put something between you and him. That's like the deal about, hey, I don't hate that run, you all. I just hate that I'll run you. Something between you and him.

I recommend a pickup truck. Amen. And a shotgun. I want to see this story on the big screen so I can yell at it. Get away, Martin. Oh, I'm telling you. I was so happy that I had that toolbox in the back of my truck because I don't know if I could have got to the roof by just, well, I probably could.

I was scared. I think the ostrich was wanting to whoop you first. But then he got a good look at you. He was like, he's a little bit too slick for this. I ain't going to whip him. But that boy out there sitting on the ground, I won't even see it coming. I'm going to get him. What's even funnier is like 20 minutes later that turkey got the gobbling again.

We killed him. We went back with an ostrich and a gobbler all in the back end. Well, Mr. Ranch owner, I got a problem here. When they got two problems. Yeah, I got a problem here. We got a turkey. But we got a bonus there too. Yeah.

Oh, wait a minute. What do you mean the bonus? Miller tried that old line. Well, Alastries showed up. And it was a bunch of whooping going on. Yeah. And we had to, you know, shoot our way out of that. The landowner said, son, you need two things.

First, you need some tweezers and you need a big check. Yeah. Miller tried that line on him and said, you know, we won't sue you if we ain't got to pay for that ostrich. I looked old boy, I said, how much we owe you? I ain't trying to, I ain't playing that game. What we owe you? We killed your livestock. What we owe you?

Question, was it pretty expensive? He wasn't that bad. No. And he probably did y'all, gave you a good deal. Well, I mean, what was he going to do? He was dead. Take what he could get? I think he went on there and figured out what it'd cost to replace him,

and that's what I wrote the check for, but that was fine. Ain't no thing. Did Miller help with the cost? No. But I wanted to keep turkey hunting, so I was willing to pay. Yeah, here you go. Let's roll. ostrich fights.

I did not know that story. Yeah, that was a good one. That was a, yeah, I've kept that one under my hat. That was not one of my more proud moments, but. John, David, you ever been pinned up by an animal? No. No, he pinned raised. Very, very by design.

I got stuck on a trampoline from a neighborhood dog when I was a kid for a while once. Better than getting treated by a chicken. I just sat up there and was like, this dog can't get on this trampoline, hopefully. Well, let's take our last break. We'll be back right after this. All right, we're back. we're back for the favorite segment of the show. Oh, yeah.

We got in a mailbag. Johnny D.D.'s mailbag. Hey, hello at duckcallroom.com. Patrick from South Carolina sent this literally three minutes ago. Where did you find them? Samuel's first. Duck.

Ducks. He said duck, but good night. Oh, he's got a bunch of them. They were pretty mallards. Then be mallard ducks, too. So way to go, Samuel. That's over there in South Carolina. A little South Carolina Greenhead action.

What was that out? I'm jealous. I wanted some lake over there. I can't remember the name of the lake. I've got more than one. Hartwell? That's the one everybody knows, though. Yeah, I don't remember.

I have no idea. There's a lot of ducks on it. I don't know of that. All right. So Anyhousers, we got more and more emails to get to. Jess doesn't say where he's from, but his wife is Polish. Okay. All right.

I don't know what that means, but. It means a lot of salt. I dig it. And he, for some reason, he addressed me. Uh-oh. Oh, here we go. JD, I'd like to know your opinion as well as the guys on how to lure my woman into going hunting with him, even if it's just once. My wife said no.

So I can't, I got no advice. How to lure her into hunting? Yeah. She don't want to go hunting. Oh. So he's like, how do I get my wife to go hunting with me? Have you ever fed her the wild game? you hunt. That's a good start.

Make it really good. And then say, wouldn't you like to do this? But I also say this, if they've never been, if they have never been, don't start with a duck hunt, don't start with a deer hunt. Start with squirrels or doves, something you can go, you're moving, you make noise, the weather's nice, and you don't have to be quiet, cold, and miserable, like you do sometimes when you're actually, when you're chasing foul or chasing and deer, just make sure they can have fun.

If they can have fun, the chances are they'll try a different kind of hunting. And then you just kind of, you know, like this morning was not the morning to take somebody. A, there ain't no ducks. B, it was like 28 degrees here. And there was about 10 nine hour north wind. It was cold this morning. Not a good morning and say, hey, you want to go on your first hunt? No, this ain't it.

Sometime around the 1st of September when it's still nice and breezy and warm out, you can take them and see if they'll go. But look, if she don't, man, hunting ain't for everybody. Just like... I like the deal about the food, though. Feed it to them first. Yeah. Yeah.

Because, especially squirrel. That's my favorite wild game. Squirrel's fire. You fry a young squirrel up for, hey. Squirrel fire. Man likes a good squirrel. I'm not... Squirrel's good.

I've never been able to get my wife to go. She just, she don't want to go, and I don't want to make her go. Yeah. If she don't want to go, she don't want to go. You don't want to go. And respect that decision and move on. Okay. It's cold outside.

You know what happens if she likes hunting? Your bill just doubled. Yeah. You're trying to figure out how to stop her from going. Now you've got to go buy our hunting clothes, a gun, shells. It's probably a good thing. So, hey, maybe you don't want her to be. Cy, has Christine ever showed any interest in going with you?

Nope. A little sister-to-in one way is growing up. Brittany hunts for me a lot. Yeah. And what happened was, it was scrolling. So funny. So I'm shooting at this squirrel running up a tree. I'm shooting with a 22 rifle.

Okay, and he's taking off. I done it missed him first time, so he took off. And hey, my sister is literally up on my back, beating me on the head. Kill him, kill him, kill him. Which one? The squirrel was Jan. You know, so I said, okay, all right. I've learned one thing.

Hey, you get over there. Okay, because I don't want she's jumping on top of him and beat me up. at the head time when I'm trying to kill a squirrel fox squirrel running up a pecan. And she was for you killing it. Oh yeah. Yeah. And then right after I killed it, she said, oh my goodness, because I done it three or four times.

She said, you killed us. I said, you was a minute ago screaming, kill it. I said, yeah, I killed it. Now we're going to go home and cook it. So there you go. Keep it fun. Don't force it. That's right, boys. Hey. All right. Next email, Roger, from the great state of Kentucky.

Roger Dodger. Dry Ridge, Kentucky, been a big fan ever since. The Duck Dynasty Show, loves the Duck Call Room on YouTube. And he knows there's no way to actually know the answer to this question. But if Si had to guess, how many ducks do you think you and Phil have killed and eaten in your life? That's pretty good. Killed and eaten. Probably it'll be in the thousands.

There ain't no probably to it. I know it's in the thousand. It's just how many zeros are behind it. Yeah. The difference between 99,000 and 1,000 is you're talking about a lifetime here. We started, okay, you know, when we was kids, okay? The shotgun I cut my teeth on was a 16-gauge browning. Okay.

I would say... It was bigger than me when I started. So how long you've been hunting? You've been chasing ducks for 60 years? Oh, yeah, at least that. I started actually squirrel hunting when I was six. Six. Okay, because the first one I killed, I watched him for like 35, maybe 45 minutes.

And then it was, what are you doing, idiot? This is what you come out here? Boom! 60 years, you probably got to think, kill three, four hundred a year. probably something like that well what about the military years though uh oh i hunted when i was in that oh yeah he hunting did you not duck hunting did you oh yeah he hunted fort pole i know i've heard them stories and on uh fort devons you'll see i was in charge of police and all of fort devons i had a bunch of people i'd pick up and they'd you know would go out and clean the post up

but i kept going over this little bridge it was over this little creek i haven't heard this and I looked down and kept saying, them look like the maled duck down there. Well, I got the, this is in October. It opened like, you know, at the end of October up there. You know, and I said, hmm. I said, I got to find out if I can hunt there, you know. So I did.

And oh, yeah. And it was a little river. And then you come around a curve, okay, and it had a little slew that backed up, you know. And I got in that little slew. and they'd come down the river and I'd hit them with a duck haul and they'd swing in there

and come down and get in front of the DECOR's back pelling. Get their tail shot off. Oh yeah, and then get their butt shot off because these were blackmowers too. Oh, black duck? Oh, yeah. That's awesome. Oh, no. Did you have people go with you?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, the best time was when me and Smitty, a guy from Georgia. There's always a Smitty. There's always a Smitty. I'm in the Army, okay. I'm living there on an apartment, you know, out of, you know, off post.

So I had a couple of shotguns, and I'd come into the barracks, you know, and tell me, hey, look, it's Saturday tomorrow morning. I said, duck season's open. I said, anybody want to go? Instead of just stay here in the barracks, nothing to do. I've got two shotguns, I've got shells, you know, let's go, you know, none of them would show.

And I said, you bunch of sissies. You know. Here comes Smitty. Oh, yeah. So finally, I come here and I said, Hey, anybody want to go duck out? You bunch of cities. You know, and Smitty said,

wait a minute. What are you talking about? I said, now, hey, I ain't got no waiters. We're going to wait. We got to wait about, you know, 30 yards to get out on this island. That's where the ducks are at. Yeah.

They lap right out there by that island, so that's where we got to go. Yeah. And Smith said, well, what are you talking about? I said, well, hey, it's the wintertime, son. It's cold. I said, we ain't got no waiters. We're going to be about chest deep and water.

Well, hey, I wasn't thinking. I'm 6'3. He's like 5'4. Oh, no. No, no. Hey, ain't nothing wrong with that. No, no. So Smitty.

Smitty ain't waiting. Smitty said, y'all, because I tell me, you bunch of sissies, y'all. Smitty said, I'll go anywhere you go, Robert. That's okay. So I wasn't even thinking. You know, we get to the place where we fix the duck cut. I started weighing out toward the island,

and I hear it comes going, blub-bl-bl-bl-bl-lo-blood. Smitty's got out there. Look, he's got his shotgun over his head, and he's literally going underwater and bouncing off the bottom of the darn little old slew. And I said, Smitty, why didn't you tell me I would have let you just grabbed on me

and wouldn't, where you wouldn't get totally wet, you idiot? He said, Robston, I tell you, I'll go anywhere you goes. I said, okay, so I learned something about Smithy then. Smitty's one of them, hey, he'll go where you go, son. There you go. Smitty did a Smitty. Be a Smitty. Look, so, look, we come waiting out with full limit of ducks, okay?

Guess what? Game Ward shows up. Oh, no. Smitty ain't got no license, does he? He said, no, no. He said, hey, what are y'all doing here? Major so-and-so called us, you came on here. And I said, hey, wrong answer, Jack.

You know, this was the MP. Yeah, I said, wrong answer. I said, hey, I've done it. I said, here's my life hunting lice and my duck stamp, all this good. Smitty showed him his and all that. Tell me, well, about this time, here come a squirrel. And he run between us and the game wardens. I said, kill him, Smitty.

Did he do it? Hey, yeah, Smitty ran up your boom. Where's this story been all in? Oh, no, no, no. Look, hey, it's scared the, you know what, out of that game warden, MP. And I said, hey, you can get off of this I can't hunt here. I said, I just checked into this. And I said, hey, I'm going to be here in the morning.

Me, Smitty are. And Smitty said, you got that rat, Jack. I like Smitty. I like Smitty, too. I said, hey, grab that down in Fox World. You just shot. We're going to eat them tonight. Oh, Lord.

In life, be a Smitty. Yeah, I've hunted, you know, I hunted in Germany. I actually taught how to hunt the German away in Germany. There you go. Because I went to a scoop for it, you know. The German way. How to hunt the way the Germans want to down. Johnny Dee?

They give what, when you kill an animal, they give it the last rites, what they call the last rites. You got to kill, like if you kill a deer, you break off a piece of the limb off of an oak tree and put it in their mouth. That's called the last rites. Your honoring the game you just took out. What Bible verse you got for us, Johnny Dee? let's wrap this one up and send her on home. I got us a short little one from Big Dave sends me a Bible verse every morning. We're going to go with his Bible verse today.

Psalms 1455. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. Amen. What is that? Psalms 1455. Psalms 145. That's a good one.

That is a good one. All right. We're out. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck. We're right here in the duck on. Sound effects and all. Weak, we're like. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
