[01:10] What's that mean, Martin?

Speaker 5:
[01:11] Everything look good, butter face, hi.

Speaker 7:
[01:14] Oh, I always, I've got one of them unforgettable faces.

Speaker 5:
[01:17] You do now with all them teeth. Teeth. You're like that alligator, you got all them teeth, but ain't got no toothbrush. I hope you don't get ornery.

Speaker 7:
[01:26] Hey, I got some choppers now, I'm telling you.

Speaker 5:
[01:28] Look, he's trying to hide them. Pull that mic down closer to him so we can hear you.

Speaker 6:
[01:32] We gotta get him a haircut and a little trim.

Speaker 7:
[01:37] I need a mustache trim, too. Then you can see my teeth.

Speaker 8:
[01:42] I arranged this and you no-show it.

Speaker 5:
[01:44] Yeah, you bailed on it.

Speaker 6:
[01:45] Well, now he's ready.

Speaker 7:
[01:47] I'll arrange it again.

Speaker 5:
[01:48] Run it back, he says.

Speaker 6:
[01:50] Hit him again.

Speaker 1:
[01:51] Let's see what I can do.

Speaker 5:
[01:52] All right, Si, look at the camera and smile. We got our final set of teeth in.

Speaker 1:
[01:57] The permanence.

Speaker 9:
[01:58] Looking good.

Speaker 7:
[01:59] God. Hey, look. Oh, it ain't no good ever were under it now. Huh? Everything these, my healing teeth were larger. You know, had more junk in there. Yeah. Then this bottle that I've got is more compact.

Speaker 8:
[02:17] The 2026 model.

Speaker 6:
[02:18] That's the new Si 2027 model.

Speaker 7:
[02:20] Hey, when she was a young lady that was putting them in and go, tighten them in, she said, Hey, I'm going to have to tighten them down all the way this time. So you're going to have to, you know, grant them maybe be a little pain.

Speaker 8:
[02:32] You don't have any black eyes this time. So that's a plus.

Speaker 7:
[02:36] Hey, when she said she was going to tighten them down, she wasn't playing.

Speaker 6:
[02:39] She tightened them, sent them down.

Speaker 5:
[02:42] My favorite part is Si had no idea what his teeth are like, but I did because Phillip was texting me.

Speaker 6:
[02:50] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7:
[02:51] Oh, no, no, no.

Speaker 6:
[02:53] They wouldn't let Si see his teeth until after the whole procedure was over, they hand him a mirror. But the whole time I was letting Martin know.

Speaker 5:
[03:01] Oh, yeah. He's like step one, step two, step. So I saw the whole transformation take place right there inside the office. How you feel?

Speaker 7:
[03:08] Good? Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[03:09] There you go.

Speaker 7:
[03:09] That's a lot better.

Speaker 5:
[03:10] So he's back. But where's the old one?

Speaker 7:
[03:13] There's the house. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[03:15] They let you have the healing tool?

Speaker 7:
[03:18] Yeah. I told him.

Speaker 6:
[03:19] Yes. He's got them.

Speaker 7:
[03:20] I said, hey, take them. But they didn't leave all of them on there. Like the part that you have to put the screws down. That part, they left that out.

Speaker 5:
[03:33] Wait, like this thing like you auto pull up auto parts.

Speaker 7:
[03:37] Hey, I feel like the bionic band. No, no, I'm serious. When she was tying them down, when the girl said, hey, I got to tie them all down, she wasn't driving. She was cranking that thing. She had a ratchet.

Speaker 5:
[03:52] There you go.

Speaker 7:
[03:53] Hey, she ratcheted tight. When she was doing the last little, hell's pain involved in that. What's that? She said, I told you to tell me to stop if it was pertinent. I said, well, darling, you doesn't say it. You got to tie it up now. So then they used me saying anything about pain.

Speaker 5:
[04:13] Ain't no reason to drag it out.

Speaker 7:
[04:14] Yeah. No.

Speaker 1:
[04:15] Well, it ties it down.

Speaker 7:
[04:17] Sucker. The only thing I was worried about it, I said, I sure hope the pain don't stay there after she does it. But it didn't. Well, she cinched it down. It hurt there when she's doing it. But, you know, five minutes after she does it, after she does it, everything will be okay.

Speaker 6:
[04:32] You don't have to go back to Innovative Dental in St. I mean, in Springfield, Missouri. That was your last trip.

Speaker 7:
[04:39] Yeah, that's a good thing. There's not like a check up? I love the guys up there and the women.

Speaker 6:
[04:44] Well, you will have to go in February of 2027.

Speaker 8:
[04:48] He said, and the women, which brings me to my next point. Anytime Phil and Si go on an adventure, these are the photos I get, Martin.

Speaker 7:
[04:59] We got, oh yeah, I got those two. That's what Hop's all about.

Speaker 5:
[05:02] Oh yeah.

Speaker 7:
[05:03] That was the one that was, she had to wrench it on him.

Speaker 6:
[05:06] The one on the right. Yeah, that's Shayla.

Speaker 5:
[05:09] My right or yours?

Speaker 1:
[05:11] My right.

Speaker 6:
[05:12] Si's right.

Speaker 1:
[05:13] Look at Si's.

Speaker 7:
[05:14] My right.

Speaker 6:
[05:16] Never gets old.

Speaker 1:
[05:17] He doesn't ever get old. He doesn't ever get old.

Speaker 7:
[05:21] My right or yours? My right.

Speaker 8:
[05:23] Every time they go on an adventure, there's Si with women and a photo, and then it always gets followed up with feeling the way it feels like.

Speaker 6:
[05:31] Hey, Dr. Megan.

Speaker 7:
[05:32] Hey, look, everybody said that, hey, my teeth, my smile is back.

Speaker 8:
[05:40] Well, yeah, it's not back, it's existent.

Speaker 7:
[05:43] Oh, no.

Speaker 5:
[05:44] Earlier, it was full.

Speaker 7:
[05:45] It's more than that back, Jack.

Speaker 6:
[05:47] Hey, what did Willie say when he saw Si's teeth? Were you in here?

Speaker 5:
[05:51] No, well, he come, I was walking through the office and run face first into him and he said, what are you doing here? I said, well, we got podcast. He said, right now? I said, yeah. I got all his teeth fixed. He said, oh, I'm coming. I got to see this. Here he come right in behind me.

Speaker 7:
[06:07] I got to see it.

Speaker 5:
[06:09] He just said, Willie said he was going to go get some Bondo work done too, is what he got.

Speaker 7:
[06:16] I didn't realize how rough the lifestyle is on teeth.

Speaker 8:
[06:21] Your lifestyle, sir.

Speaker 5:
[06:22] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[06:23] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[06:24] Because I'm a-

Speaker 5:
[06:25] You, hockey players.

Speaker 8:
[06:28] Boxers.

Speaker 5:
[06:28] Yeah. Pretty rough time. Pretty great time to be a dentist. Pretty bad time to also be a dentist.

Speaker 8:
[06:33] But also, Phil sent me one other thing. What is going on here?

Speaker 5:
[06:38] Yeah. Who's that guy? Is that the doctor?

Speaker 8:
[06:41] And there's a cutting board.

Speaker 5:
[06:42] Yes.

Speaker 6:
[06:42] So-

Speaker 7:
[06:43] He bought me a steak.

Speaker 6:
[06:45] Yeah. Dr. Olson cooked Si's steak and said, try your new teeth out on this.

Speaker 7:
[06:49] He said, try it. First I had done, when I cut it, look, I dropped a piece of it off. It's fat. It fell off. I said, well, let me come and help you. But I said, hey, I said, you're a pretty good chef. I said, because, hey, that idiot New York, that said he didn't know what media plus is or there wasn't no such thing. Well, Doc knew it. He goes, hey, look, it was light pink in the center.

Speaker 5:
[07:17] Ain't nothing like a steak on a couch by the bathroom.

Speaker 8:
[07:20] In the dentist office waiting area.

Speaker 7:
[07:23] That one was cooked to perfection.

Speaker 5:
[07:26] I ain't ever seen that.

Speaker 7:
[07:27] Hey, because I just kept cutting the pieces of it, ain't I?

Speaker 5:
[07:30] Did y'all hit up Lambert's?

Speaker 6:
[07:31] Yeah, we did. I got to tell you what happened.

Speaker 5:
[07:34] Did y'all hit up the Bass Pro Shop?

Speaker 8:
[07:36] I got to call a timeout on this.

Speaker 6:
[07:38] Okay.

Speaker 8:
[07:38] Si says, I will not go to Bucky's because I can't get in and out of there because.

Speaker 5:
[07:45] In fairness, he can't.

Speaker 8:
[07:46] Bucky's people are Si's people.

Speaker 6:
[07:49] Well, okay.

Speaker 8:
[07:51] But there's another place that falls right in line.

Speaker 6:
[07:54] Well, I'm going to take the blame for this because the last time.

Speaker 5:
[07:57] We were there, especially on the way to Branson.

Speaker 6:
[07:59] I heard about the place in Springfield. It's called Lambert's and they throw rolls at you. I love rolls. And so it sounds like and we drove all the way through with no stops. I said, Si, I'm starving. Let's go where they throw the rolls. He said, pull on in there and we'll go in.

Speaker 1:
[08:16] Yeah, look, did you get some?

Speaker 7:
[08:18] Do they throw?

Speaker 6:
[08:19] Yes. Yeah, they're fried.

Speaker 7:
[08:21] They are fresh out of the oven. So, hey, yeah, you need some hot. You need some gloves to catch them.

Speaker 5:
[08:28] Did you catch one?

Speaker 6:
[08:29] No, I caught them for him.

Speaker 8:
[08:30] He called him for you.

Speaker 6:
[08:32] He almost got hit in the head by one. Only my reflexes saved him.

Speaker 7:
[08:37] You want from me.

Speaker 5:
[08:39] What else do you eat there?

Speaker 7:
[08:40] Well, we had, I had roast beef.

Speaker 5:
[08:42] Roast beef.

Speaker 7:
[08:44] I will say. Back of cheese.

Speaker 5:
[08:46] Fried ochre.

Speaker 7:
[08:47] No, and fried ochre. Yeah, they got young ladies walk around with a pot of hot, fried ochre just out of Greece.

Speaker 5:
[08:56] Oh, I know.

Speaker 7:
[08:57] It was pretty good.

Speaker 8:
[08:58] And everyone in that restaurant, DVR Duck Dynasty for eight years. Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[09:04] Well, hey, I-

Speaker 8:
[09:05] They are your people, sir.

Speaker 5:
[09:06] And they just bought a new Samsung and found the Fast Channel. So-

Speaker 6:
[09:11] Well, look, we got away with it at first.

Speaker 8:
[09:14] Oh, this is-

Speaker 6:
[09:14] Sit down. We were eating.

Speaker 7:
[09:16] That was a good picture.

Speaker 6:
[09:17] And then all of a sudden, did he make their Facebook? Si takes one picture, a hundred people are gathered around him, and he just stops eating. He's like, I can't eat.

Speaker 8:
[09:25] Look, I went to Facebook to go to Lambert's, see if they posted Uncle Si's swing by. No, I just typed in Lambert's, and the first thing that came up is Si and this little girl taking a picture. I didn't even type in Si.

Speaker 1:
[09:38] Yeah. Oh, that's cute.

Speaker 5:
[09:42] Oh, there's his roast beef. I see it right there.

Speaker 8:
[09:45] Oh, man. Are you hungry, son?

Speaker 7:
[09:47] No, hey.

Speaker 1:
[09:48] Did you go hungry?

Speaker 7:
[09:49] That's your own fault.

Speaker 1:
[09:51] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[09:51] Because hey, good grief. That place is good.

Speaker 5:
[09:55] There's gonna be somebody in heaven walking around with a first thing.

Speaker 8:
[09:58] The rolls are excellent.

Speaker 5:
[09:58] I'm here to help.

Speaker 7:
[09:59] Look, you can get rolls, cornbread.

Speaker 6:
[10:02] Butter and honey with them rolls.

Speaker 7:
[10:08] It's all fresh out of the oven.

Speaker 8:
[10:10] You go on Facebook and just type Lambert Si Robertson. It just keeps going.

Speaker 1:
[10:15] Yes.

Speaker 8:
[10:16] Si, those people had no idea that the mayor of Lamberts was about to walk in and eat there.

Speaker 5:
[10:23] Did you meet Mr. Lambert?

Speaker 6:
[10:26] We met somebody who came out and gave us our meal for free.

Speaker 8:
[10:29] They gave you the meal for free.

Speaker 1:
[10:31] I wasn't worried about meeting him.

Speaker 7:
[10:35] ADC is what I've been out.

Speaker 6:
[10:37] But we brought our own cups because we got a bunch of them. So Si was signing them and handing them out until we ran out.

Speaker 8:
[10:44] That's amazing. That's awesome that y'all just busted in a Lamberts and just did a meet and greet.

Speaker 1:
[10:50] That's hilarious.

Speaker 8:
[10:51] You had no idea it was coming.

Speaker 7:
[10:52] Well, no, no. That's why it happens all the time.

Speaker 5:
[10:55] Last time I was at Lamberts was-

Speaker 7:
[10:57] If he's driving, look, if he's driving, it happens and then if Stone's driving, it happens. The Stone's the same way he is. If somebody walks up, he'll say, would you like for him to sign your duck call or whatever? Then the people, when people got phones, they come out of the woodwork.

Speaker 8:
[11:19] They come out the woodwork.

Speaker 1:
[11:21] Here they come.

Speaker 7:
[11:22] That's it, because they get on the phones quickly. We got to do- We just walked in here.

Speaker 5:
[11:29] All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know, we love to eat beef around here. And that's why, because of our friends over at TriTails, beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good?

Speaker 8:
[11:44] It's so good. It's our friend, Si Robertson would say, bye on the grill.

Speaker 5:
[11:48] Look, before we got TriTails, 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. TriTails 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 ribeyes 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 Si's case, Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat.

Speaker 7:
[12:43] She ain't a big meat eater, folks.

Speaker 5:
[12:45] Just go to tribeef.com/ that's tribeef.com/supportranchfamilies and eat some dang good steak. You ain't bit Ms. Christine yet, have you?

Speaker 7:
[13:00] Well, I've nibbled a little bit. Hey!

Speaker 8:
[13:03] Okay, that's forward, that's forward.

Speaker 5:
[13:06] I wanted to see just how uncomfortable we could make John-David.

Speaker 7:
[13:09] I'm not uncomfortable.

Speaker 5:
[13:11] Kind of. I mean, they are.

Speaker 8:
[13:12] I'm sitting beside them, they're my neighbors.

Speaker 7:
[13:14] Well, I know that.

Speaker 8:
[13:15] I'm moving.

Speaker 5:
[13:17] Do not go over there past eight o'clock.

Speaker 7:
[13:19] As soon as I got home, she was outside. Phillip come in, was putting everything up that I had. So I walked out there and just smiled at her. She laughed, and I said, what do you think? She said, well, that does pretty good. Then she come back and she said, I was just joking. She said, they're fantastic. There you go.

Speaker 5:
[13:39] Oh, man.

Speaker 7:
[13:41] They really did though.

Speaker 8:
[13:44] The fact that y'all rolled into Lambert's just has me thinking of what other places in America could Si legit not go enjoy? Well, Lambert's might actually be number, I mean, it sounds like you enjoyed it.

Speaker 5:
[13:57] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[13:58] It was good.

Speaker 8:
[13:58] The place you would get recognized the most.

Speaker 6:
[14:01] Well, they recognized Si, we were driving down the road, and they were going around us and stopping and waving. I said, Si, how do they know? They can't even see hardly in this truck, but they saw the Duck Commander logo on the front, and they were beside him trying to get in and roll his window down. I was like, wow.

Speaker 5:
[14:18] Well, you get stuck on that Tulane Road up there too.

Speaker 7:
[14:21] I did that in Nashville, and I wasn't even thinking. They had pulled up and recognized me. You know, I had some ice, and I bought a something that wasn't even good, a Coke. So I just rolled the window down, and it didn't even look. I just rolled down, threw it out the window, with them people that pulled up again. They had their window down. I drowned them people with that Coke.

Speaker 5:
[14:45] And you're the only person that they laughed about.

Speaker 1:
[14:48] No, no, they didn't.

Speaker 5:
[14:49] They smiled while they claimed the Coke out of their truck.

Speaker 7:
[14:53] Well, that one was hot too in the summertime. So I had to cool them off. But that was so funny.

Speaker 1:
[14:59] I said, oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 7:
[15:00] Bye-bye.

Speaker 8:
[15:01] Cooled them off.

Speaker 5:
[15:04] That's a terrible defense.

Speaker 8:
[15:07] I can't wait for it to be 98 degrees outside. I'm just going to pour Coke on me to...

Speaker 5:
[15:11] Going down the road. So it dries almost instantly.

Speaker 7:
[15:14] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[15:15] That way you're just like stuck to your seat and your door.

Speaker 8:
[15:18] That's awesome.

Speaker 5:
[15:19] Thank you, Uncle Si.

Speaker 8:
[15:20] All right. Well, next time we go somewhere, we're going to Buc-E's. We're going to...

Speaker 5:
[15:24] I mean, Buc-E's.

Speaker 7:
[15:25] I ain't going in.

Speaker 8:
[15:26] Yeah. You went to Lambert's. Now you can go...

Speaker 6:
[15:28] No, Buc-E's is a lot further walk because we pulled right up to the front and he got out and I mean, he just walked from me to Hunter.

Speaker 5:
[15:36] Sir, I think you could park by the beaver and nobody would say anything to you. You could park by the brass beaver and you'd be all right.

Speaker 8:
[15:43] We'll make it happen.

Speaker 6:
[15:43] All right.

Speaker 5:
[15:44] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[15:45] We're going to Buc-E's, Si.

Speaker 5:
[15:46] I'm going to Buc-E's this week.

Speaker 6:
[15:48] Hey, bring me back some of them chocolate.

Speaker 7:
[15:50] Well, I'll take that back.

Speaker 6:
[15:51] Pecans.

Speaker 7:
[15:52] Phillip will get out the wheelchair and wheel me in and I'll go.

Speaker 5:
[15:55] Phillip will get out the wheelchair.

Speaker 7:
[15:57] Because I ain't walking.

Speaker 5:
[15:58] I'm strapping a GoPro to him. I just want to know what it's like.

Speaker 6:
[16:02] Me or him?

Speaker 5:
[16:03] Me or him is right on his chest. I just want to know what it's like.

Speaker 8:
[16:07] I think he would get swarmed and it would be amazing.

Speaker 5:
[16:10] Yeah, it'd be great. I don't know if they'd cover your bill, but... No.

Speaker 8:
[16:15] No, they wouldn't do that.

Speaker 5:
[16:16] Before you've got to find out, make sure you find out first.

Speaker 8:
[16:19] Yeah, don't get gassed.

Speaker 5:
[16:20] Because then I can send you a list of what all we want.

Speaker 7:
[16:24] I was just pretty sorry.

Speaker 8:
[16:25] Buckets, a fire pit, sunglasses.

Speaker 5:
[16:28] Let's get that all.

Speaker 6:
[16:29] I love going to Bucky's.

Speaker 8:
[16:30] Fever nuggets.

Speaker 5:
[16:31] Oh, I know Bucky's is fun. Oh, it's fun. I enjoy it is a good quality stop. Oh, man. They're going to finish that one over by you.

Speaker 6:
[16:40] They're working on it right now.

Speaker 7:
[16:43] You go in there, you ain't going to get out without buying something. Because there's too much stuff that you like.

Speaker 5:
[16:48] Yeah, and you're going to go TT and feel good about it. Very clean bathroom.

Speaker 6:
[16:52] Very clean.

Speaker 5:
[16:53] Very clean bathroom. That's fun.

Speaker 8:
[16:57] Let's update on Si.

Speaker 5:
[16:58] That is a good time right there.

Speaker 8:
[17:00] Lambertson.

Speaker 5:
[17:01] I can't imagine him walking into Lambertson. Was it like lunchtime too or something?

Speaker 6:
[17:04] No, it was seven o'clock at night.

Speaker 5:
[17:06] Oh, dinnertime.

Speaker 6:
[17:07] Yeah. And so.

Speaker 7:
[17:08] But the place was packed.

Speaker 6:
[17:10] And we were starving.

Speaker 8:
[17:11] Lambertson.

Speaker 5:
[17:12] It's Lambertson.

Speaker 6:
[17:13] Both of us were starving.

Speaker 8:
[17:13] One of the best restaurants in America.

Speaker 5:
[17:15] So I'd down there to Gulf Shores and go in that one at any time of the day. You can't.

Speaker 8:
[17:20] You can't.

Speaker 5:
[17:20] Like, it's because you know why they're walking around with fresh hot fried okra. That's good.

Speaker 8:
[17:27] I haven't been there in a long time.

Speaker 7:
[17:28] That is really good.

Speaker 5:
[17:29] I love fried okra.

Speaker 8:
[17:30] I'll go in there this summer. I just decided.

Speaker 5:
[17:32] So good. Anyway.

Speaker 8:
[17:35] Penny Hoosers.

Speaker 5:
[17:36] I don't even really know what else we need to talk about.

Speaker 8:
[17:38] Si, I do have some news.

Speaker 5:
[17:40] Oh, there you go.

Speaker 7:
[17:41] You have some news.

Speaker 8:
[17:42] I have some news.

Speaker 5:
[17:42] Rory McIlroy won the Masters.

Speaker 7:
[17:45] Did you watch the splashdown?

Speaker 8:
[17:47] Like a hawk. And then they made me wait for two hours for them to get out of there. So I ate a whole pizza. I was glued to the TV and had nothing. I was like...

Speaker 5:
[17:57] Emotional eating.

Speaker 9:
[17:58] Is everything okay in there?

Speaker 6:
[18:00] I was like, I will say... Nervous eating.

Speaker 8:
[18:02] Whenever they dropped them first parachutes and they're falling at what feels like an incredible rate, I'm like, and then they cut them suckers and some new ones come, but nobody told me they were gonna cut the first ones. I got a feeling in my stomach that was not good. I was like, turn away kids. I thought we were about to see that sucker go to the bottom of the ocean.

Speaker 7:
[18:26] You know what surprised me when I was watching that? The capsule come floating down. It's the fire that kept flashing off of the.

Speaker 5:
[18:38] Off the deal?

Speaker 6:
[18:39] The bottom of it?

Speaker 7:
[18:40] Yeah. Yeah, you don't wanna go that way. It was fire just coming off of it every second or two.

Speaker 8:
[18:46] Yeah, cause they were going as fast as you did when you melted your shoes.

Speaker 7:
[18:50] Well, it surprised me how fast they was going with the chute, the three chutes.

Speaker 8:
[18:54] Oh yeah.

Speaker 5:
[18:54] Oh, you gotta thank it. By that time, the bottom of that sucker or the face of it, whatever you wanna call it, that thing was like a lit cigarette.

Speaker 7:
[19:01] No, no, cause that's why they land in water. Yeah. Where the stupid thing will cool off.

Speaker 8:
[19:07] Wait, that's why?

Speaker 7:
[19:08] I'm serious.

Speaker 8:
[19:09] I just thought it was a softer landing and I was getting annoyed.

Speaker 7:
[19:13] That's why.

Speaker 8:
[19:13] Cause I was like, if y'all could have got on land, they're, oh man. Okay.

Speaker 7:
[19:17] I don't know, they could land it on land.

Speaker 5:
[19:19] Oh, if they wanted to. But then you're gonna start a brush fire.

Speaker 7:
[19:22] Yeah, but then you're gonna start a fire.

Speaker 8:
[19:25] Okay. Cause they were like.

Speaker 7:
[19:26] The reason they splash down is to cool that stupid thing off.

Speaker 5:
[19:30] That's why the shuttle was so cool. Cause then it was just like a regulation airplane. You just land and do your thing.

Speaker 7:
[19:35] Oh yeah.

Speaker 8:
[19:36] Okay.

Speaker 5:
[19:37] Apparently terribly inefficient at what they do.

Speaker 8:
[19:39] Okay. That makes sense.

Speaker 7:
[19:41] They're gonna get it one of these days where they go up and come down and land on like an airport.

Speaker 5:
[19:45] Yeah, like a airstrip.

Speaker 8:
[19:47] That was wild. Cause I was like, it's just like that because they were going 25,000 miles per hour. And then they slowed them down to 19 miles per hour in like the span of like 10 minutes. And that's what they were going when they hit the water. I was like, 19, just go land somewhere in the desert and hop out and get in a car and walk.

Speaker 5:
[20:07] Yeah, because I imagine that difference though. Yeah, I'll go from 25,000 to 19. You're like, am I ever going to get there?

Speaker 8:
[20:16] And then you're stuck in a boat. Yeah, because now it's no longer a spaceship. It's a boat. Then they get you out and put you on a helicopter and take you to another boat in great white shark territory.

Speaker 6:
[20:29] I don't want to get eaten.

Speaker 5:
[20:30] They I think I would have said, hey, man, y'all might dump me in the Gulf of America. I mean, they got some out there too, but not as many as they got over there where they went in.

Speaker 8:
[20:38] In San Diego, there's some larks.

Speaker 6:
[20:40] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[20:40] Yeah. I've watched Shark Week. I know what them boys do off them coast over there.

Speaker 8:
[20:44] Yeah. That's where the big ones are.

Speaker 7:
[20:46] Them boys got some chompers.

Speaker 5:
[20:47] But welcome home.

Speaker 7:
[20:49] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[20:49] Welcome home.

Speaker 8:
[20:50] We got to get that Victor dude on.

Speaker 7:
[20:52] How close did that get to the moon?

Speaker 8:
[20:54] 4,000 miles away from it, which seems really far away until you do that.

Speaker 7:
[20:58] But it didn't with the photographs.

Speaker 6:
[21:00] Yeah, it looked closer.

Speaker 5:
[21:01] Yeah, you're right next to it.

Speaker 8:
[21:03] Yeah, they were close.

Speaker 5:
[21:04] Considering how far we are away right here, 4,000 miles really close.

Speaker 8:
[21:07] They were on the other side of it. That's, we can confirm that.

Speaker 5:
[21:10] Yeah. No, that was, yeah, we need Victor. Victor, talk to Butch.

[22:58] What is it about?

Speaker 8:
[22:58] I've recently made a hire.

Speaker 6:
[23:00] You've hired someone at the store.

Speaker 5:
[23:03] Oh, am I gonna start getting paid?

Speaker 8:
[23:04] No, you're not getting paid.

Speaker 7:
[23:05] Ed, come on.

Speaker 6:
[23:06] You're still working?

Speaker 7:
[23:09] What did you hire him to do?

Speaker 6:
[23:11] Yeah, let's find out what that is.

Speaker 8:
[23:13] I just need you to sit at the register, talk to people, say hello. Check people out, and then his main domain, oh, I gave it away, I gave a part of it away. We narrowed half the population. His main job is to be lured over the bait room on Saturdays. That's all I need.

Speaker 6:
[23:32] Has he ever been convicted of a crime?

Speaker 8:
[23:35] I don't know.

Speaker 5:
[23:37] Ask him, he's right there.

Speaker 8:
[23:39] He is in the room with us.

Speaker 7:
[23:41] Oh, Hunter's walking for you.

Speaker 8:
[23:43] Hunter's getting shatters, y'all.

Speaker 7:
[23:47] He's a shatter man.

Speaker 8:
[23:47] Hunter came to me and was like, dude, if you ever need any help, I'm like super bored on Saturdays right now. I said, well, it just so happens I'm not bored on Saturdays right now, because it's our busy time of year. I said, he's like that UPS driver that shows up at Christmas. I got Hunter. That's just my little wing man.

Speaker 7:
[24:06] Hunter needs to do one thing. What?

Speaker 8:
[24:10] Don't listen to him.

Speaker 7:
[24:10] Really sell shiners. You need to, when the people are there, you said, hey, let me show you how good these shiners are. Eat one. And he said, fish won't be able to stand it. They have to eat them.

Speaker 9:
[24:23] I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 8:
[24:24] Hunter, it's not required of you.

Speaker 7:
[24:26] You would sell a zillion of them.

Speaker 9:
[24:28] If you would like to come over and do that, you can be my guest, but I'm not.

Speaker 8:
[24:33] You will get a bonus. Hunter, I will give you a bonus. Hunter said, at the end of our busy season, if you eat one shiner, but you have to record it.

Speaker 5:
[24:41] Yeah, Hunter said, I'll video you clowns doing it. Let me do my part here. I got record. It's going. Most of it.

Speaker 6:
[24:48] Yeah, I could do that.

Speaker 5:
[24:49] Most of it.

Speaker 7:
[24:50] Oh, hey, you should be a salesperson. So I'm like, hey, look, I'm gonna tell you how good these are.

Speaker 5:
[24:54] Shiner's so good, I'll eat them. Look here.

Speaker 7:
[24:57] So I'm like, hey, these are so good that fish can't stand them, they gotta eat them.

Speaker 8:
[25:01] Oh yeah.

Speaker 5:
[25:02] Man, your breath's stankin.

Speaker 7:
[25:03] Hey, because as you put me.

Speaker 8:
[25:05] So hey, it's my Saturday busy season help.

Speaker 5:
[25:10] I'm just glad to see y'all got Shiner's back. Boy, that's a tough week last week. There wasn't ever any Shiner's in there. I brought the boys.

Speaker 8:
[25:16] There was never any Shiner's anywhere in North Louisiana.

Speaker 7:
[25:18] That's what I'm saying. You buy the little bitty ones that you buy like the two inches. I got all of them.

Speaker 5:
[25:21] Both of them.

Speaker 8:
[25:23] Depends.

Speaker 7:
[25:24] They call them trot line Shiner's.

Speaker 5:
[25:26] Because the boys walked in and wanted to go see the Shiner tank. I said, boys, it's over. It ain't there, boys.

Speaker 8:
[25:33] We're busy, which is why we need a lord over the bait room.

Speaker 5:
[25:37] There you go.

Speaker 9:
[25:38] It was a lot of fun. I had so much fun doing that.

Speaker 8:
[25:41] And he loves it.

Speaker 5:
[25:42] Those are your people, ain't they?

Speaker 8:
[25:44] Well, he's from the 292, baby.

Speaker 5:
[25:47] Yeah, you see a lot of people you know in there. So I see them every day.

Speaker 6:
[25:51] I did have to go to the Honey Hole a little while back.

Speaker 8:
[25:55] When it was a Saturday and they were understaffed.

Speaker 6:
[25:58] That's right.

Speaker 8:
[25:58] And we needed Hunter and so here we are.

Speaker 6:
[26:00] And so Bryson's mother and father-in-law and their grandparents, his in-laws, they all came from England to hang out and be available for the Vowel renewal. And one thing we did, we took them fishing.

Speaker 1:
[26:17] That's what they catch.

Speaker 6:
[26:18] Every time they put the cricket out in the water, they caught one. And so a lot of brim, just caught a bunch of brim.

Speaker 8:
[26:24] Anyway, that's my news. Hunter and I work six days a week and has a part-time gig in a tackle shop.

Speaker 5:
[26:29] Have we talked about Bill Dance?

Speaker 6:
[26:31] What?

Speaker 5:
[26:32] Calling you out?

Speaker 8:
[26:34] What's not, dude?

Speaker 5:
[26:35] Oh.

Speaker 6:
[26:35] What happened?

Speaker 5:
[26:36] Oh, no. You remember our friend Juicy? Yeah. Big Juicy with a big hair. So he got to do the social media thing of Bill Dance is like three questions. Will Bill Dance? And Bill asked him about the worst fishing experience of his life or something.

Speaker 3:
[26:52] A funny story.

Speaker 8:
[26:54] He said it was the best experience of his life.

Speaker 5:
[26:57] No, but Big Juicy went ahead and ratted out John David for not knowing how to tie a knot. And Bill Dance got on him. He said, if you don't know how to tie a knot, tie a lot.

Speaker 3:
[27:08] You lost the biggest bass known to mankind.

Speaker 5:
[27:11] There we go.

Speaker 3:
[27:11] Because Johnny D didn't tie the knot right. You know, a good buddy of mine told me one time, if you can't tie a knot. There it is.

Speaker 1:
[27:21] There it is. There you go.

Speaker 7:
[27:22] There you go.

Speaker 5:
[27:23] There it is. Johnny D now lives in infamy on Bill Dance's social media.

Speaker 7:
[27:28] Don't feel bad.

Speaker 8:
[27:29] I got jumped on with both feet by Bill frickin Dance.

Speaker 7:
[27:34] Hey, don't feel bad, because hey, I want Martin to the reservoir, get in them bass, and I set the hook, and the bait would come off. Just take off of the bait.

Speaker 5:
[27:49] Oh yeah. This wasn't me either, by the way.

Speaker 7:
[27:52] I said, what's going on here? I said, is this the old line? He said, no. I said, well, it keeps breaking because hey, that's about the third bass run off it.

Speaker 6:
[28:03] Who was fishing, you and Martin?

Speaker 7:
[28:05] Yeah, but we had a cameraman, and the cameraman, when I break it all, he would tie the next one on.

Speaker 8:
[28:11] Who's the cameraman? Jared. Good job, Jared. At least Bill Dance isn't making fun of him.

Speaker 5:
[28:18] I just thought by the time we all hit our thirties, not tying.

Speaker 7:
[28:22] Yeah, not tying.

Speaker 8:
[28:24] It was one.

Speaker 1:
[28:24] I just thought it was a thing. Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[28:27] One. Especially if you run a tackle shop.

Speaker 8:
[28:33] One.

Speaker 7:
[28:34] That's the bad boy.

Speaker 8:
[28:35] One.

Speaker 7:
[28:36] That's the bad boy this.

Speaker 8:
[28:38] One knot.

Speaker 7:
[28:38] You're being worked at a tackle shop and can't tie a knot.

Speaker 5:
[28:42] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[28:43] Oh, don't worry. After Bill Dance jumps on me.

Speaker 5:
[28:47] That'd be like me picking up a duck call and blowing it from the wrong end.

Speaker 7:
[28:50] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[28:50] You know?

Speaker 7:
[28:51] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[28:51] Shut up. I did that on TV too. Duck Dynasty. Look it up. Then if that wasn't bad enough, Big Dave sees it. He said, it doesn't take a genius to tie a knot. I've taught you this son. Because it's Wednesday, he's off work and he's getting texts that Bill Dance is making fun of the heir to the honey hole.

Speaker 1:
[29:15] Oh, man. There you go.

Speaker 8:
[29:17] Thank you, Mr. Bill Dance. It was the best day of my life.

Speaker 5:
[29:21] Yeah. I've never seen somebody more fired up to be put on blast by Bill Dance. I sent Jody D Bill's number too. I said, here, if you want to take it up with you. No, no, no.

Speaker 8:
[29:30] Mr. Bill Dance, we appreciate everything you've done for the fishing community. Thank you for making fun of me. Anytime you need someone, I'll be your huckleberry.

Speaker 5:
[29:38] Come sit in my chair one day, Bill.

Speaker 8:
[29:40] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[29:41] Oh, I'd love to have you.

Speaker 8:
[29:43] Shoot. Bill Dance knows the rules. Whoa. Go fish and fall in the water and post it on social media.

Speaker 5:
[29:49] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[29:50] Or just don't tie a knot quite perfectly.

Speaker 5:
[29:53] Tie a lot. And that was my favorite. If you don't know how to tie a knot, tie a lot.

Speaker 8:
[29:58] And it just juicy, dog. I thought we were tight.

Speaker 5:
[30:01] Oh, juicy. Got you, bro.

Speaker 8:
[30:02] Juicy been all over the world. First, Jennifer Hudson, now Bill Dance. Who knows where that kid's go end up next?

Speaker 5:
[30:08] Well, now he's what, on some watch list for like elementary football players or something I saw they posted. I'm like, y'all don't really start watching them at that age. It's just the hair.

Speaker 8:
[30:18] Juicy never change.

Speaker 5:
[30:19] You got put on blast by Bill Dance. Good for you, man. Thank you. You're welcome. I didn't know if we talked about that a lot.

Speaker 8:
[30:26] No, we didn't.

Speaker 5:
[30:27] In person.

Speaker 8:
[30:27] I was going to kind of let it die, but you didn't.

Speaker 5:
[30:29] Live it or in public.

Speaker 8:
[30:30] I posted my response and some guy said, what a way to be remembered by Bill Dance. And he thought that was a shot at me. And I said, but.

Speaker 5:
[30:38] He don't know who you are.

Speaker 8:
[30:39] I said, but he does remember me.

Speaker 5:
[30:43] But he don't know who made that comment. I do.

Speaker 8:
[30:45] I'd had to look it up.

Speaker 6:
[30:46] He was on a couple of episodes of Duck Dynasty, wasn't he?

Speaker 5:
[30:50] Just on one.

Speaker 6:
[30:51] Is that the one where we were all fishing down at Clay's place? Pond.

Speaker 8:
[30:55] Pond fishing.

Speaker 5:
[30:56] Were you on his team? Whose team?

Speaker 6:
[30:58] No, Si was on his team.

Speaker 5:
[31:00] We won.

Speaker 6:
[31:01] I had my own team and we did not win.

Speaker 5:
[31:03] Yeah, we won. Caught them all off of shocker, Bill, a wacky worm. But I had a little local knowledge.

Speaker 6:
[31:13] Si, y'all didn't catch much when you went with Bill.

Speaker 8:
[31:15] He's just, I can't know cheating.

Speaker 5:
[31:18] No, y'all just went around the bank throwing a frog. I went out there where there was open water and throw a wacky worm.

Speaker 8:
[31:23] They're throwing a frog?

Speaker 5:
[31:24] It used to be frog paradise out there, but when it gets real hot, they pull out in them deep holes and you just throw a wacky worm in them.

Speaker 8:
[31:32] Hey, you know what?

Speaker 5:
[31:32] Reel them suckers in.

Speaker 8:
[31:34] I do got to brag about one other fishing story. Yesterday, going home from church, Carter said, today's the day, we're going to go catch a fish. We're going to cut that sucker's sides off. Then we're going to fry them and eat them. And I got him set up. He did the worm on the hook, got the fish off. He filleted it. We had some help with the peanut oil. And then he ate it.

[33:15] Hunter, you do have us some voicemails though, don't you? You told me you did, so it'd be awkward if you didn't.

Speaker 5:
[33:21] I don't remember the phone number, 318.

Speaker 9:
[33:23] It's 318-215-6559.

Speaker 8:
[33:28] I don't, I've already-

Speaker 5:
[33:30] I forgot the 215. I knew the 6559, but I don't know.

Speaker 8:
[33:33] 215-6559, area code 318.

Speaker 5:
[33:36] May get funny.

Speaker 8:
[33:38] Or at least interesting and enjoyable.

Speaker 10:
[33:41] Hey, what's up, Duck Call Room? This is Larry from Little Elm, Texas. Hello to Uncle Si. Love you, my man. Hey, you guys have talked about your favorite episodes before. I would love to know if there were any episodes or scenes from any episodes that you absolutely hated doing for one reason or another.

Speaker 8:
[34:04] All right.

Speaker 10:
[34:05] God bless y'all. Take care. Keep doing what you're doing.

Speaker 8:
[34:08] Bye for now. I thought he was going to say scenes that you thought were hilarious that never made it because I got one for you, buddy.

Speaker 7:
[34:16] I got one that the people that run the show has it.

Speaker 8:
[34:23] What?

Speaker 7:
[34:24] That was one way that Jason's.

Speaker 6:
[34:27] When you were miked up and they said don't get in the water.

Speaker 7:
[34:31] I had told them, I said, y'all better do something with this mic.

Speaker 6:
[34:34] Because I was saying that the crew hated what he did.

Speaker 5:
[34:37] No, I know that.

Speaker 7:
[34:39] The cameraman and all them, the sound man and all them, the fool with microphone stuff. Yeah, they hated it. I had told them, I said, y'all need to do something with this microphone. I don't think they pay attention to me. The next thing they heard was, and I'm running off the pier and doing on my back out in the water. Because we're filming in July, and it's 115 in the shade and we're wearing chest waders. That's warm.

Speaker 1:
[35:13] That's hot. That's hot.

Speaker 7:
[35:14] I told them, I fixed the cool off. Well, hey, they should have listened to me.

Speaker 5:
[35:20] I'm looking through the episode list.

Speaker 8:
[35:22] To be fair, I think I filmed the least in here, but it would be hard to say you hated it because there was a time you were cold and you were stuck outside waiting. But we just watched boys in a boom truck in the ice storm up and doing their job. So hate's a strong, I mean it like.

Speaker 6:
[35:40] Yeah, you don't want to lie about.

Speaker 5:
[35:42] There were definitely some.

Speaker 8:
[35:43] It stinks.

Speaker 6:
[35:44] That's the, I was going to say there's one episode where we did the lawnmower races and it just took so long. I mean, it was two days of filming.

Speaker 5:
[35:57] If I disliked any of them, it was every one where you saw us at night.

Speaker 6:
[36:01] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[36:02] Because those were the longest dadgum nights, like you're sitting there at two in the morning, doing nothing, just waiting on them to get lights set up. You're like, my God, guys, for a bunch of people that go to bed, not long after the sun goes down, they're generally up about sunrise, working until two and three in the morning was like, uh-uh. What about, this is out.

Speaker 6:
[36:25] What about when you and Martin, no, you and Godwin and Jay were in the boat and it sank?

Speaker 5:
[36:32] That's fine. I mean, I was just, that was Bayou Water. And I mean, I was cut off by-

Speaker 6:
[36:36] And you were standing on the motor?

Speaker 5:
[36:37] Yeah, I was just standing on the boat. I was like, just stand up guys. Like it's not that big of a deal. But that one, I was like, the other one, the bee one at night sucked.

Speaker 8:
[36:47] Bees?

Speaker 5:
[36:48] Yeah, whenever we went and robbed the stupid bee hive at night and then got stung by a bee, that sucked. Like that was no fun.

Speaker 8:
[36:56] The worst one for me never-

Speaker 5:
[36:57] While Phil was laughing. While Phil's just sitting there laughing and they're not, cause he's at the back of the boat and they won't fly, but they crawled all over us and ate us up. I'm like, this ain't funny. This isn't, like, I'm sure it is from where you sit.

Speaker 8:
[37:13] At least they put it out there.

Speaker 7:
[37:15] Hey, it's from your perspective, you gotta look at it.

Speaker 8:
[37:18] The thing I did when we were at Willie's Duck Diner making the fried bologna sandwich, I was like, it was me and Willie and he's talking about, what should we do? And I was like, add jalapenos, they're delicious. And I just started eating jalapenos to show them. And I was like, yeah, it's more tingly than hot. Just trying to prove how, you know, they weren't that bad. And I ate, like, 40 of them in a row.

Speaker 6:
[37:42] Do it again, do it again, do it again.

Speaker 8:
[37:44] And then tears start, and then I was like, I'm done.

Speaker 5:
[37:46] Now that you've said that about eating, yeah, every family dinner, misery.

Speaker 8:
[37:50] Uh-oh, yeah, misery's a strong term, though. You just sat there and got free food, man.

Speaker 5:
[37:55] No, here's the problem.

Speaker 8:
[37:56] You got paid to eat.

Speaker 6:
[37:57] No, it's cold, wasn't it?

Speaker 5:
[37:58] Here's the problem. Season one, Phil and Kay cooked every one of those family dinners.

Speaker 7:
[38:03] And they're really good.

Speaker 5:
[38:05] And they're everything that you want.

Speaker 7:
[38:07] Is good.

Speaker 5:
[38:08] And then you go to get it, and they're like, nope.

Speaker 7:
[38:11] Yep, it's cold.

Speaker 1:
[38:12] And they're just like, Yeah, wait.

Speaker 5:
[38:15] Nope.

Speaker 7:
[38:15] Wait.

Speaker 5:
[38:16] And they're like, do that again, do it again. And they're like, all right, now y'all get up and walk out and leave your food on this plate. Don't eat. Just get up and walk out. We're going to shoot that side.

Speaker 8:
[38:25] You're going to talk about torturing old Martin.

Speaker 5:
[38:27] Yeah. Oh, when they were doing it. Now, as it progressed, they started catering those meals and it wasn't that big of a deal. But the first season, man, that was all filled with cake cooking that. I'm like, yeah, Swiss steak, praise God. And then I'm like, no, I'm going to go. Watch you step outside for 40 minutes.

Speaker 7:
[38:43] Yeah, and we can't eat it.

Speaker 5:
[38:44] And they just get cold and then come back and then we're going to force you to eat.

Speaker 7:
[38:47] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[38:48] It was like, come on.

Speaker 8:
[38:48] I just ate jalapenos until I cried and they didn't use it. I was pissed.

Speaker 5:
[38:52] Yeah, there was a lot of stuff that they made you do that's kind of dumb that they didn't use. But I mean, I'd really have to go back and look. I mean, I hate they didn't run up my pants busted on the date with Si. Like that was funny, but nothing inconvenient about it. But I sat on that pallet more and then sucker split from my crotch to my ankle.

Speaker 1:
[39:10] Like I was like, whoa.

Speaker 6:
[39:13] I wish they, I wish they would have put in there what happened when I jumped off. We were racing the outhouses. I jumped off and y'all are all standing there. Si started, before I could say anything, Si started running me over, hollering stuff at me. I was like, I just stopped and turned around and walked off. I was like, I don't know what to do here.

Speaker 5:
[39:33] I mean, there's a lot of good, there was just, there was some things that were inconvenient, but nothing.

Speaker 8:
[39:38] You had to eat cold food.

Speaker 5:
[39:40] That sucks. When it's good food, it's like, oh man. Yeah, well, I like to say that-

Speaker 7:
[39:45] One of the funniest ones in me was when we was in Shreveport at some restaurant. We was trying to get to people that worked there to say some lines. And we fooled with them for like two hours and every time they saw the camera, they couldn't even talk.

Speaker 6:
[40:04] Yeah. I bet. And there's nothing like having five cameras and boom mics all around you.

Speaker 7:
[40:10] Because one wouldn't be bad.

Speaker 6:
[40:12] Right.

Speaker 7:
[40:12] But when they do it, it'd be about seven cameras. Come on to me, when it did, you'd see it. I mean, you talk about a deer in the headlight.

Speaker 6:
[40:23] So I want to know how long did it take for y'all to get comfortable with all the cameras and the mics and all that stuff?

Speaker 7:
[40:32] Me?

Speaker 6:
[40:32] I know you didn't like it at first, but it didn't take you long.

Speaker 7:
[40:35] Hey, I got where I didn't even notice as they was there.

Speaker 5:
[40:39] Well, most of the crew, I mean, there was some turnover, but the main parts of it stayed the same, so they became really good friends, man.

Speaker 6:
[40:48] So it was nothing, I mean, you got used to it really fast.

Speaker 5:
[40:51] Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest deal, because we had done the Benelli show, and so you were used to having two or three, four cameras around, wasn't that big of a deal. The biggest one on this one was all the extra people. Like just, there were 30 people with us at any given moment. Because they had producers, directors, assistants, like, I don't know, why these people can't like put their own battery in their camera. They got to have somebody back there to put a battery in their camera. I mean, it's just Hunter shaking his head. He's worked in production outside of this place. He knows, it's like, Hunter's probably at his level, probably is the guy putting the batteries in the big cameras for those guys. Were you like, were you like key grip or something?

Speaker 9:
[41:36] I haven't worked on bigger productions like that. I think the biggest I've done was production assistant on The Blind, and that's about it.

Speaker 1:
[41:42] Yeah, I've worked on short films.

Speaker 5:
[41:44] But there's a lot of people there to do some very menial tasks.

Speaker 1:
[41:47] Yes, well, that's why it takes so long.

Speaker 9:
[41:50] You can't help with any of them.

Speaker 1:
[41:51] Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 5:
[41:52] The other people can't help and fill in. It was wild.

Speaker 9:
[41:56] What area you're in, that's where you have to stay.

Speaker 5:
[41:59] Yeah, and it was so unionized.

Speaker 7:
[42:00] It's like if somebody accidentally kicked a plug out, electric plug, shut her down. Nobody can touch it except for electrician on the set.

Speaker 5:
[42:10] Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 7:
[42:11] That's crazy.

Speaker 6:
[42:12] What about the color run when y'all got hit in the face with all that?

Speaker 5:
[42:16] Oh, that was fun.

Speaker 6:
[42:17] The Si didn't like it though.

Speaker 5:
[42:19] Oh, the one with the trail and...

Speaker 6:
[42:20] Yeah. Well, you got hit in the face with all that color on the color run.

Speaker 5:
[42:24] Oh yeah. I had some weird color boogers for like a week after that deal. That was crazy. Well, all that dust goes straight up your nose because you're jogging and they hit you with powdered color and you...

Speaker 7:
[42:34] Yeah. You can't help but get it in your lungs. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[42:40] Yeah, it was a weird one. But yeah, there were some definite inconveniences, but nothing that I hated, I don't think. Like the first time I went off that rope swing, a Redneck water park, landed sideways, water in my eardrum, so the rest of the day, I was just like, I'd move my head and all you're like... But there we were, we stuck it out for the rest of the day. Then I was like, all right, I got to get the heck out of here, boys. Like, I got my ears killing me. But I wasn't going to quit because of that, like let's do it.

On that episode, where Willie hired me, the first words out of my mouth with all those cameras on me was in this totally new voice that wasn't mine.

Speaker 6:
[45:04] Like me reading ads.

Speaker 8:
[45:05] It wasn't anybody's we'd ever heard. And it like, my voice just went wild for a sentence. And Willie looked at me and goes, is that, are you doing that now? Like, is that your new voice, or are you just gonna act like yourself, or?

Speaker 5:
[45:24] Yeah, where we at here?

Speaker 8:
[45:25] And I was like, I don't know where that came from. And then after that, it was like rock and roll.

Speaker 6:
[45:30] Yeah, because you were gonna have to do that from then on.

Speaker 5:
[45:33] Yeah, you don't wanna get along with that.

Speaker 8:
[45:35] The only times I ever really got nervous was, you know, whenever Phil or Jace would enter the room, and then I was nervous, and there they live, I'd be fine.

Speaker 5:
[45:42] Yeah, but that's with or without cameras.

Speaker 8:
[45:45] Correct.

Speaker 6:
[45:46] What about everybody telling Mountain Man to speed it up, and he's like, no, well, this is how fast as I go.

Speaker 8:
[45:54] That is a really good impression. Bravo to you, sir.

Speaker 5:
[45:57] That's a good one.

Speaker 3:
[45:58] Well.

Speaker 8:
[46:01] Oh, Hunter, what's the other one? Is it Duck Dynasty related?

Speaker 3:
[46:06] Willie.

Speaker 5:
[46:07] No, no, it's not.

Speaker 8:
[46:08] She punched me in the liver.

Speaker 7:
[46:10] The liver punch.

Speaker 6:
[46:11] Oh, I'm not feeling so good.

Speaker 5:
[46:13] I had a date last night. Girlfriend punched me in the liver.

Speaker 6:
[46:18] I told you all about the blind date he went on.

Speaker 5:
[46:20] That confession happened at church, by the way.

Speaker 7:
[46:22] She sucker punched me.

Speaker 8:
[46:23] Right in the liver.

Speaker 5:
[46:25] Right in the liver. I wonder what Pope Leo would say about that. And confessional.

Speaker 8:
[46:36] I'm nervous about this.

Speaker 5:
[46:37] Are you guys ready?

Speaker 8:
[46:37] We're ready.

Speaker 10:
[46:41] Hey, Duck Call Room, this is Josh.

Speaker 5:
[46:43] Hi, Josh.

Speaker 10:
[46:44] I have a question for Phillip, for Jay, and for Uncle Si.

Speaker 5:
[46:50] Oh, good.

Speaker 10:
[46:50] How was it when you gave your daughters away in marriage, where you guys are wrecked? Love what you guys do. Talk to you all later. Bye.

Speaker 8:
[47:02] Martin, sit out.

Speaker 6:
[47:04] Hunter was there when I did it. So I'll go first. When I gave my daughter away, what was my emotions? He wants to know. So I was a mess. I mean, I tried to hold it together. But I mean, this is my little girl, been with her her whole life. And I mean, so it was very difficult for me to walk her down. And I held it all together until I walked her down the aisle. Then I just cried like a baby all the way down. So yeah, I mean, it's just it's going to be emotional, but it's a it's a happy, happy time, happy emotion. So it was tough. And I'm still it's still tough on me because I want to talk to her every day. But she's married and so, you know, we do stay in touch. But I got to give her her space. So what about you when you when you gave your daughter away to marriage to Kyle? Was it hard on you?

Speaker 7:
[47:57] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[47:57] Yeah. He's tearing up this right now. I'm looking at him.

Speaker 7:
[48:00] You know, Phil, Phil always run his mouth, you know, and I said, hey, a daughter would not been very good in your family.

Speaker 6:
[48:11] Evidently.

Speaker 7:
[48:12] No, no, I'm serious. Because he wouldn't have been able to handle it. You really wouldn't.

Speaker 6:
[48:18] It was hard on you?

Speaker 7:
[48:19] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[48:21] Do you remember?

Speaker 7:
[48:21] Because I just, well, people, you know, when people said, you know, asked me questions about the kids and I said, well, I said, you know, I said, my son and my daughter got married and they both gave me. Or grandsons. And I said, only grandson? I said, yeah. And I said, God, God had a hand in it. I said, because I had a granddaughter. I said, dress the kids, we'll get nothing.

Speaker 8:
[48:52] Can I interest you in the lotty?

Speaker 7:
[48:53] No, no, I'm serious. Because, hey, hey, you know, like people said, well, what would you know? When, when, you know, when I was in the military, I felt like I was away from home a lot. You know, and then Christine would always says, yeah, yeah, I know you, you never was around. Well, she'd break out photo albums. You know, I said, so what about this? Here you are as a six foot Easter bunny. You know, in a pink, pink rabbit suit. But I felt like I wasn't there. Yeah. But if you have a, when a man marries and then has a daughter or a child, she's going to manipulate dad. Okay.

Speaker 5:
[49:43] Johnny D.

Speaker 1:
[49:44] It's just, it's just like, okay.

Speaker 8:
[49:48] She's seven and she's already caught on to them.

Speaker 1:
[49:50] Well, no, no.

Speaker 7:
[49:51] Oh, no. The six and yo and I don't know what it is.

Speaker 8:
[49:55] Hey.

Speaker 7:
[49:56] They catch on real quick.

Speaker 8:
[49:58] My daughter sandbagged for three quarters of a soccer game the other day until I said, hey, if you actually try hard, we'll go get an Icy after this. And she got a hat trick in two minutes. I was like, just start like that.

Speaker 7:
[50:11] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[50:12] But the girls, I don't understand women. And girls are even worse.

Speaker 6:
[50:17] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[50:18] That's because they're all insane.

Speaker 6:
[50:20] I would get on to my boys and say, clean your rooms, clean your rooms. And they would. And then I'd say, Amber, clean your room. And she was like, daddy, can you do it for me? Close the door and say, yeah, I'll do it. Don't tell your brothers.

Speaker 7:
[50:32] Don't tell your mom.

Speaker 6:
[50:33] Don't tell your brothers.

Speaker 7:
[50:34] Or your brothers.

Speaker 6:
[50:35] Si, it was, when she was getting married, was it a time, because y'all were close. I mean, when I-

Speaker 7:
[50:42] No, no, no, cause that's why I told CJ, okay, when I got him alone, when we was taking pictures. Ooh. And I, no, no, I'm serious. And I was standing there and I said, hey, he said, what? I said, you better treat that queen right. Okay. I said, she's a queen. And I said, you better treat her like that. Martin said, you know, that girl's grew up with me. Okay. So hey, she's kind of like my daughter too. I said, you better treat her like she's, you know, is a queen.

Speaker 5:
[51:15] Oh, you're talking about.

Speaker 7:
[51:16] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[51:16] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[51:17] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[51:17] I was talking to DJ. He said, DJ, hey son. He said, I love you. He said, but you better treat her right.

Speaker 5:
[51:23] I thought you were talking about yours. And I said, oh yeah, Kyle with a season. Interesting.

Speaker 8:
[51:29] I was a little confused too. To be fair, I didn't know you were giving just that's the right everybody.

Speaker 7:
[51:34] That's the thing that ended the father's mind more than anything else. Take care of your little girl is, hey, yeah, yeah, you better take care of her. And when I, when I say take care of her, you better not make her cry.

Speaker 6:
[51:48] Yeah. And Kyle's done a great job.

Speaker 7:
[51:50] You better treat her like the woman she is. No.

Speaker 6:
[51:55] So you got a great son-in-law and I do too. I love DJ. He's fantastic. He's doing wonderful.

Speaker 8:
[52:00] So I got no son-in-law, but if you're out there, I'll kill you.

Speaker 5:
[52:03] But he's taken application.

Speaker 7:
[52:04] No, because everybody that dated my daughter, look, everybody that dated my daughter, they come to pick her up and all that, drop her off. And when they come pick her up, I said, I'm going to tell you what she's going to feel. And the boy would look and say, what am I going to feel? I said, yeah. I said, you're going to feel the crosshairs on you.

Speaker 8:
[52:27] That's aggressive.

Speaker 7:
[52:29] And this kid is sitting there and he's looking at a bunch of skull mounts I've got of deer. I said, you treat her wrong? I said, your head will be up there.

Speaker 8:
[52:42] We got a couple.

Speaker 6:
[52:44] Steal some from Willie.

Speaker 7:
[52:45] Christine, you used to get so mad when I do it.

Speaker 8:
[52:48] I've got a plan, but I'm waiting for it. Right now, there's just some kid, the lotty came home the other day and said, John David said something funny. And I was like, I know, I'm hilarious. And she's like, no, the one in my class has said, you tell that kid to watch it.

Speaker 5:
[53:00] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[53:01] It's my name, not his.

Speaker 5:
[53:03] You're going to waterboard him in the Shiner Tank.

Speaker 8:
[53:04] And he ain't that funny.

Speaker 6:
[53:06] Hunter's going to be there helping.

Speaker 8:
[53:07] I think he's a good kid. I'm just messing with him.

Speaker 5:
[53:09] Hold him in the water tank at the Shiner Tank.

Speaker 8:
[53:12] I've never even met this kid's parents. I don't even know if this joke's funny.

Speaker 7:
[53:14] You better get you a deep breath.

Speaker 5:
[53:16] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[53:17] She said he did something funny. I was like, I know it.

Speaker 5:
[53:18] You better mean this one.

Speaker 7:
[53:19] That's right. You better hold this one long, son.

Speaker 8:
[53:22] I know Minnie Ratnack's.

Speaker 5:
[53:24] That old reverse baptism, you know? We go on face first, son.

Speaker 8:
[53:30] Yeah, girls are scary. Good luck to all the girl dads out there.

Speaker 6:
[53:34] But you can do it. You can do it.

Speaker 5:
[53:36] Good luck to y'all.

Speaker 6:
[53:36] It'll be tough.

Speaker 8:
[53:37] Good luck to y'all, he says.

Speaker 5:
[53:38] Good luck to y'all.

Speaker 8:
[53:42] It requires luck. But you know what doesn't require luck?

Speaker 5:
[53:47] Scripture.

Speaker 7:
[53:48] The Lord. That's right.

Speaker 8:
[53:49] That's right.

Speaker 5:
[53:49] It's in the beginning.

Speaker 8:
[53:51] I'm not actually going with Genesis 1 today. I'm going to go with Psalm 127.3 because we talked about kids a lot. And you're pointing that gun at me.

Speaker 5:
[53:59] It's all safety.

Speaker 6:
[54:00] No, it ain't.

Speaker 1:
[54:01] It is, too.

Speaker 8:
[54:02] Ladies and gentlemen, if you do listen, we appreciate it. If you would like to understand some of the things that are happening, head on over to youtube.com/duckcallroom, like and subscribe, and you will see that for the past 10 minutes, a salt gun has been pointed at very different directions.

Speaker 1:
[54:18] It's all safety.

Speaker 8:
[54:19] Anyway, Psalm 127.3, Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.

Speaker 5:
[54:28] Hey, that was not all safety. I didn't even shot you.

Speaker 8:
[54:33] I was acting like a kid.

Speaker 5:
[54:34] You tally-whacker.

Speaker 8:
[54:37] That's what your kids. The Martin boys were in the honey hall the other day, and Martin said, hey, quit grabbing your tally-whacker or something like that. It was Jackson. Jackson said, he said tally-whacker, and he kept saying it.

Speaker 5:
[54:52] The boy is whatever he is, not quite forward, and is completely apparently obsessed with that thing.

Speaker 8:
[54:57] Yeah, that happens. They get out by that eventually.

Speaker 5:
[55:00] But we'll see y'all next time right here in the Duck Call Room. Until next time, keep your tally-whacker put up.
