Oh, you got a lot of chickens. I know he's got a desert lizard. Yeah.

I've got the beard dragon. His name is Commander. Down to one dog and then like 20 chickens. You have a dog?

Which dog is yours? Pippa is my

dog i don't think i've ever seen that yeah well she's inside she's already inside okay yeah uh so every once in a while i don't let my dogs run around the neighborhood like everyone else in the

jay stones dog we got a we got a situation back there going on what's that little fat dog he got a little fat one it's a blue heeler i think nobody knows who's dog that is it is his he told me that you need to get a little winter dog what why hey they're great hey i will say oh no they're great pets. People that have little wiener dogs are like them little dogs that are blood tracking dogs are the funniest dogs ever. Have you seen that? Like people have little

tracking wiener dogs. No, no. Hey, what gets me is they look like their owner. Yeah, yeah. And they've got their mannerism. Did you just call John Luke a wiener dog? Do I look like a wiener dog? No, I'm thinking about Jason Robinson with his little two yippy dogs. He's got yippy dogs. You've never seen Jason's dogs?

I think I've seen one of them.

That's all they do. They're white, and they're the size of this Black Panthers.

They're even smaller.

They just look like actual rats. I'm going to say a contrary thing here, too. I don't like little dogs. I can tolerate them, but little dogs are too much personality.

Oh, no, no, no. I dated a girl that had a little chihuahua. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And that dog bit me so many times, it ain't even funny. Sadie and Christian got little dogs. They hate little dogs.

Little dogs hate clumsy people. I'm not going to say what I want to say about your sister and brother-in-law. Yes, I am. Because they were super nice and let me come shower at their house during the ice storm. But that dog was on the dining room table.

That dog's crazy. That dog is insane. I call it a lemur.

Is that normal behavior?

Oh, yeah. That dog's crazy. Oh, it's up on everything.

Is your dog on your dining room table?

I got two dogs, yeah.

Okay.

Is your dog on your dining room table?

No. Heck no. Okay.

I'm just making sure.

She's got layoffs, right?

Yeah, I got a hunting dog and a big old golden doodle.

See, Jacob's the best dog.

He's got the dumbest dog there he is. He actually trains his dogs, and they're trained. That's good news. Mine are, Pippa's semi-trained. House is a good dog. But it's a house animal. She's a great dog, yeah. But no, we got a whole pack of wild dogs running around our neighborhood. Yeah, we did.

Just the other side. What about the attack one? Is that what we're talking about? No, the other day, I'm walking through the neighborhood, and here comes John Luke with this random dog. walking down Stone's driveway. And I'm like, whose dog is this? And John Luke's like, it keeps jumping in the pool. I'm just trying to get it away. It's like jumping on the kids.

Yeah, it's jumping in the pool. It jumped the fence into the pool. And it jumped into the pool. Just a random dog. He's crashing the party. Yeah.

Yeah, well then he followed me for an hour and started living at my house.

He smelt the food on the fingers, baby.

He's my dog now.

Yeah. It's still there? No, it's not really.

It stayed on my porch for an hour. You still have room to build him a house on your house, a little room. No, he's not coming. You build him a little room. He's not coming. Do you have dogs? No. I didn't think so. I had a dog. He's buried at my current house. I am building a new house. I don't think I've told people that. Yeah, you do. I'm going behind the gate. I'm going behind the gate. I'm going to be Willie Robertson's neighbor. But when I told my kids we were doing that, you want to know what Carter's first words were? What did your prayer say? He said, but what are we going to do with Dublin's corpse? I was like, we're not going to bring him with us.

That's a great question.

We're not bringing the dog graveyard with us. Dig him up. Because I'm pretty sure we bury Dublin on top of the people's dog that lived there before us. So I don't want to get the wrong dog.

Uh-huh.

Yeah. It'd be a bad deal.

It is getting tricky with all the building in our shared space because there's a lot of dogs.

I'm not going to have a single dog.

Yeah.

Promise.

Yeah, in the new school.

I might. My kids want one. So every once in a while, Si, I go, you know, I feel like I've got enough street kid to just walk around Willie's property wherever I need to, but I don't, I go fish to see what he's done with it. See what he's doing. you out there fishing. If I see on Instagram that Willie's probably not in town, I might peruse over and help myself with some fish.

He may or may not take a fishing rod with him. Every time I've seen him, he's on that fishing rod.

But look, so the other day we are on the golf cart and we're just driving around. I said, let's go see what's behind Sadie's house. And there's an annex of chickens far away from everyone's home. And I don't know whose they are. And there's three weird chairs looking at them. What's going on back behind your house, John Lee?

That's it. That is the chicken and eggs. That's the bachelor pad. You have more? Yeah, that's my second coop. Those are just males? Those are just the roosters.

That's your second chicken coop?

I have a word I could say here. The chairs are unrelated. I don't know why the chairs are out there. The chairs are not to watch the rooster chickens. But that is where, so I started like breeding them. So I started getting all these chicks. So now I've got like.

you're done oh wait wait you're breeding chickens now yeah not just oh yeah he brought in what's

i need to hear the rundown of that i got hold on i thought once they're eggs you just eat them

you're letting them become full-grown chickens oh yeah i got a whole operation you've become

in a butcher shop dude yeah well no no look look he's gonna have he's gonna have young fry young

fryers man i'm feeling great looking great getting all kind of compliments energy i don't have to take none of my meds no more that is what's awesome because i forgot to take them half the time anyway but i tell you my stomach flattered i flitter there you go it's pretty you look good son phd is the real deal i'm telling you whoa whoa most weight loss plans have one thing in common they quit working eventually and then when that happens the weight comes right back the phd weight loss it's different i'm 22 weeks in i'm almost 40 pounds down i'm feeling great i got lots of energy which i need for them new twins but man it's just i get around better the menus the all kind of information on the website even they just talk about how your body and how food affects your body and what what this does and what that does and it's just it's just different

get some chickens when we get back because we got more land now than we currently have and so me and big dave are talking about chickens and you have a lot of chickens so i'm i'm ready to learn oh you can look you gotta think of dr he'll make some cash on you oh he's gotta think i'll buy chickens

you're just turning them out oh you can i got five kids you gotta have some kind of uh that's true uh work for them to do i was thinking he's just trying to go hey raising chicken just feed them yeah raise the chicken hey your job is you gotta go feed chicken clean out chicken coop mm-hmm so and then the best part of it is like well hey look mom's gonna have fried chicken tonight go out there and rain three or four of them fryers they're not doing that and then come

back those chickens they are those chickens got names at john luke's house they do them with a

butcher knife out there yeah so that's the key so i've got the one coop behind the house that is all those chicks all those chickens have names the kids get those eggs all that then i've got the second coop out in the field and that is the food. That's where you take it behind the barn and let it go. That's the chicken thighs.

That's dinner. Those chickens

don't have names. Tyson ain't got nothing on that coop. I've got so many roosters so then I've just been putting them out there and now I've been letting them free range so now they're all walking around back there. I had two more last night. Oh man.

That's fun to watch. That may have been one of the chairs there. Watching a bunch of chickens go out. find grasshoppers and everything

that lives in the wild. I do have a lady that buys 200 crickets a week and just goes and throws them at her chickens and says it's the funnest thing she watches.

Oh, I bet it is. But the funny thing is, so I've got those three chickens out there and then yesterday another chicken showed up in the field that's not our chickens. He migrated. So I don't know where that one came from.

He's banned. I love it. How many chickens do you have?

I've got five out there and then, yeah, like 15 in the other coop. Some of them, like eight of them are chicks.

Okay. So you get fresh eggs all the time, right? Yeah. How many eggs do you get a day?

Yeah, like six eggs a day right now. Six to 12. Half a dozen, baby.

That's two large burritos.

Oh, yeah. Well, here's my problem, though, is I got these, they're called seramas, which are like the smallest chickens, and they're really tiny. and so like five of my six eggs a day are like the size of like a whale yeah like the size of it's not a burrito like a quarter so it takes like four eggs to make one egg he's got kids so i do get six eggs a day but they're all really really tiny proportions proportionally and i've got two chickens that like normal size eggs so then we eat that we know that's like one

His uncle? An ostrich. That's what we eat, dude. I've seen one of them. Those are huge. Do you remember the ostrich farm? Yes. You're old enough to remember it?

Uh-huh.

Ostrichs have eggs about the size of big giant coconuts.

Yeah. When we went to that Ox Ranch place, we picked one up out there, and it was huge.

Oh, no. Hey, it's about the size of that stupid drum.

It's like a football.

Yeah. It's about the size of that drum. I'm serious.

It's huge. And when you crack it open, hey, it covers a whole big old pan. We ate it, too. That's what they served was ostrich eggs. I hear they're good. I haven't had one in years. They taste like eggs to me.

They're good. I thought it was just a normal.

Oh, it's killer. He cooked one. Matt cooked one. Yeah, I've had one. I just...

I remember the ostrich farm. That was a deep cut memory.

The ostrich farm of the family was long ago.

Yeah. What'd they do with them? Like to make what? Lost money. I don't know. That was funny.

I really... I was so young. Yeah. Because I didn't even know if you would remember it. Because I was probably 10 whenever they were like, this is more trouble than it's worth.

Let's farm some ostrich.

I just remember. How many people do you know start in on the chicken coop and don't end up where John Luke's at? And they're like, this is exhausting. And I mean, these things are the size of pterodactyl.

I just thought of the ostrich farm the other day because Dave Ramsey was talking about it. He's like, oh, yeah. And one time all these rednecks started buying all these ostriches. I was like, that was like a thing? Does other people have ostrich farms? I thought that was just like our family that had it.

We're weirdos, but apparently... What, you got an ostrich?

No, that's next step.

You would know for sure if John Luke had an ostrich. We do need an exotic animal in the neighborhood.

I can see his ride one.

You should get a peacock. Hello. Let's define exotic animals. What is the threshold?

A peacock would be the base.

A llama?

No.

Llamas are in now. I feel like they're close, though. They used to be. They used to be. Too many people got.

Does Willie still have a llama?

No, he died. R.I.P.

I'm not even sad about it. I didn't like that. That thing was super mean.

That was the meanest thing we had. All right. Let's name top five exotic animals that you could have as a pet. He wants a giraffe. Well, that's never happening.

That's not true. People in Texas have it. I need to like them. We ain't in Texas. What did you say? A black panther. Or the snow leopard. Snow leopard. He's going to need a bigger cage than us. No, you're talking about pretty. Snow leopards? I'm talking about practical, exotic. No, no, no. We're not practical. Have you ever listened to us talk? No, just think about it. Hey, laying in bed with a big snow leopard laying right beside you.

I can just imagine you with a cheetah robe on.

I don't think a snow leopard could live in Louisiana. They'd be like all them people in Europe just passing out from the 80-degree weather.

That'd be like having a husky here in Louisiana. He's just doing that.

I had a buddy that had a wolf. My son had one of them.

Legit. It's just too hot.

Remember, my friend? Pick hides. I mean, you talk stuff for, Eric. I thought I had a coat on him. He bought two dogs that turned out to be wolves.

I remember hearing about that.

Yeah, he was like, these dogs are getting older and not normal wolves. Never buy your pets on eBay. eBay.

That's pretty cool. eBay's a bad place to buy anything.

No, no. He, like, went and picked them up. And then as they grew older, we were all like. That is a beautiful cat, though. Something's off about that. I mean, that snow leopard is cool.

I think a zebra would be a cool animal to have, like an exotic animal.

There used to be like two or three on the way to Caney Lake. Zebra.

Zebra? I feel like you just throw it in there with the horses. I don't know.

Hey, that's always have, you know, why didn't Africa ride the zebra?

I think we talked about this one time. We looked up zebras and jockeys, like racing.

And it made sense why they didn't. What do you mean there ain't enough of them? There's way more horses. In Africa? They're slow. They're zebras. In the world. I know, but the zebras. They got camels in Africa. I'm talking about the African people. Why didn't they do like the Indians? Well, I think we looked it up, and they're... slower than regular horses. I think we watched a video. Yeah, but hey. This is episode

453. Riding a slow horse is better than walking. I guess.

Amen to that. Amen. We started with that Model T forward, baby. Because hey, the horse helped people move westward. That would have been on a t-shirt had you said that in 2013. A slow horse is better than walking.

Well, no, no, because I just always blew my mind. why didn't the african people actually domesticate there wasn't enough of them huh the world may

never know we looked it up there was not enough zebras to catch train and domesticate like the

population i think that's somebody's lie uh-oh that pbs told me that that's like one of the wild out people say hey you you don't get to shoot a pintail this year because we that they had a bad year and then you go to a refuge and guess what's on that refuge more thousand and thousands of pentails you can shake a stick yeah yeah so they had they people will lie to you and that thing about hey there wasn't enough zebras in africa i don't know a lot about africa as well every time i see an african film all you see is a thousand zebras Well, that's because they don't show you the empty parts. They're not like, hey, let me show you the big field of nothing. That's like when you said, hey, the dodo bird is extinct. It is. Well, he was extinct. But, hey, you're saying there wasn't many zebras. Well, every time I've seen the African film, matter of fact, was it John Wayne that went to Africa and tried to demescalate all of them? And they was roping. If John Wayne couldn't do it. Roping that thing there. Giraffe. A giraffe. There's roping giraffes and elephants and rhinos. He was roping rhinos? Yeah, they were roping. That's a good way to die. Well, I mean, hey, it showed them how you turn it over to one of the Jeeps when they was doing it. All right. Are you ready?

Can I just... We've done this on this podcast before. I've literally read this sentence. There's only estimated between 500,000 and 750,000 zebras in Africa. There's 3.3 million horses. So you still got 700,000 zebras.

And there's 32 million camels.

That's a lot of camels.

Well, that's why the Middle East people ride camels. There it is. That's why they went with it.

I think what else we did was the camels are easier. The camels are easier to ride.

They drink a lot of water, and then they go for weeks in the desert. You're kind of like a camel. You got the same bladder, urinary tract, wild animal to ride. Have you ever ridden a camel? Hey, they have camel races, and there's big money in it. Because them suckers can run.

Me and John Luke found a gator. Did you find it? Where? In our pond? In the pond. Yeah. The pond that y'all all currently live around.

How big? Six foot? Yeah, like six foot. Well, that's big enough with kids. Like, he's got kids that's going to live in the pool.

Oh, we didn't want it there. Yeah. And then, two Papa and my mom acted like me and John Luke were about to go wrestle. Yeah. They were just panicked that we were going to go swim with it. with it i was like i'm sitting 20 yards on short like i'm not close to it yeah they were panicked

but then what y'all remember devin it was devin from the film crew who came and what wrestled it

devin from the film crew do you remember that guy oh he was like he shot like stuff for discovery channel and ended up on duck dynasty he walked up behind the six foot alligator and just grabbed it real fast it was the most impressive thing i've ever seen and then yeah that's why y'all got him

out of there yeah he took it back to the wild yeah he just threw it in his van he put him in shinny lake it was drove it yeah i don't know if that was totally legal what we did that moment but i think the statute of limitations well i had to go yeah i mean i did the right at least 10 years ago had to be had to be yeah you don't want to get it oh yeah no that was like 15 years ago

we found one for safety hey we found one during the wintertime in in dixie we had a little slough behind the house that froze, iced, iced over. We were doing something, you know, come up on it. There's a gator. He's about eight foot long. Froze to death. He was frozen to death? He froze to death. He didn't go in. Did he wake back up? He didn't go in, you know, in time. Could have went in before it got, you know. But, you know, ice is rare in Louisiana. But it had a bad ice storm.

But we have alligators because they don't like it. Anyway, John Luke, how's camp going? Are you camp directing? I mean, we're in the middle of summer.

I was over there the other night.

I know. You was too. I know. That's why I'm asking if we need to go back and apologize. Did we do okay? A memorable night.

It was a memorable night. No, y'all did great. Sportsman's camp. Sportsman's camp's over, but how's camp in general? Yeah, camp in general's going good. We're right in the middle. We've got three weeks left.

of camp so it's hot who else do you have helps that goes out to speak well for sportsman's camp

willie came monday and then you came wednesday and then jace came and wrapped it up on friday yeah and i told this story and in unashamed the uh for sportsman's camp so when jace pulls up he drove straight from nashville and was like from nashville didn't even stop at his house just straight to camp to speak at 7. So he walked up. He was like, hey, I'm exhausted. Let's just do a quick intro. I'm going to keep my talk real short. I was like, okay, sounds good. Whatever you need to do. He's like, I'll be about 15 minutes. And I thought, I've never heard Jay speak, just say anything less than 30.

It's going to be great.

He got up, and so I'm telling the story, and it's not going to sound like a compliment, but it is so i'm like oh he's gonna go about 15 minutes so he gets up there he goes into it 15

minutes and he didn't even finish his introduction i'll fix that i knew he wasn't just 15 minutes

he actually kept it short for him and ended at 35 which beat the record because dad my willie went 55 minutes and you went about an hour 15 so my favorite part is you keep saying sap me martin

and godwin were on the stage with you and we didn't say anything no y'all were there for moral

support it's kind of like chaos at the faith family oh yeah he did that hey the mouth of the south is here what do you mean i didn't get to say nothing it's a robertson trait uh john luke said this isn't gonna sound as a compliment i ain't got i ain't got a button off but boys

oh man okay so y'all are young athletic would you say sure sure boy that was not confident

Well, it's more like, do you want to be prideful? I mean, I would say we're semi-athletes.

I don't know. Yeah, I need an inhaler sometimes.

Boy's got five kids. He's an athlete. Trust me. He's an athlete.

Okay. Well, I have one email that we have got to get to today. Y'all probably don't watch the duck call room, do you? You got five kids. You can watch it? 18 jobs. No. Delusional call room. Who are they talking about there? all of you so you're married in you're a robertson so buckle up okay um laura emails in recently sat was telling us a story about how he once threw a rock three miles with a sling three miles we talked him down to where he can still to this day he can't walk to the door without oxygen but he can throw a rock one mile yeah i think i think i can actually own a good

rock, I can make a mile and a half. Matter of fact, a good day.

He truly believes he can, but that leads me to Laura's email because recently your sister's been on

the internet talking about how she can just walk out and hit home runs right no big deal who's this i don't think she did sadie sadie said she just hit a home run just over the fence no

problem so now i understand the delusional couple you think you could throw a rock a mile

oh that's crazy well i mean that's just insane that doesn't matter what do you mean so the

question laura has is after seeing both of these things on social media throwing a rock a mile sadie just walking out barry bonds and home runs she said is it a gene trait in y'all's makeup that y'all just think y'all can do anything that comes in your head now you're married in so you

might have the most i i want to say i'm under no i'm under no delusions but i did think i could do a backflip and i did a backflip this year for the first time in my life just at 30 at 30 from the ground just jumped and did it you gotta understand this could you do it right now no

i've still not recovered that was about six weeks ago you gotta camera you gotta understand this came from merrick robertson yeah because when we come from the top uh that way it comes from mom

because i once heard willie talk about becoming vice president like as as a casual like well Maybe I'd do it.

And I was like, are we serious? This comes from their grandmother, Willie's grandmother, because she told all her kids, don't be a follower.

You lead the pack. Well, that's where all this comes from, this confidence. Because she said, hey, no. That's why I had so much trouble in the military. Think about that.

you've got men that are over you that are called officers well that didn't fit well with me

yeah yeah no my mother had told me be a leader from outside in i would just say i would say the people i have the most is willie and cory and how they raised everybody so i would say it's just a confidence thing now you can take that confidence and be delusional or you can be rational so it's

How much do you see any other delusional confidence, Jacob?

I'm not trying to get you in trouble. No, no, no. Because I will back you up. I would say a lot of it's rational, but I also think some people just say stuff and don't really think about what you're saying, just like most people. I mean, I'm that same person. I have the same problem, but I'm just saying if you're raised with-

That's why when I actually measured a mile with a pickup, I said, maybe I'll drop it down to like a mile. See, look, he's already changed it.

I was just thinking this. Do you think you could shoot a bow, like a literal bow? I'm not saying hit a target. I just mean, like, if you pull back a bow and aim it up high, do you think it would go even 1,000 yards? Do you think it would go a mile? Like, I don't even know. I don't think so.

See, I brought that up when we had this. Do you think it would go a mile? Look, no, no. I brought that up when we had this sling thing. Yeah. Look, we used to make homemade bowls. How far would that thing go? Cut us a limb big enough to make a bowl.

Yeah.

Homemade arrow. Yeah. Okay.

They were making recos.

And, hey, we would go to the cliff on Red River, and I could shoot that sucker probably, what, 350 maybe to 500 yards?

Two weeks ago, this was a homemade bow now. Yeah. So look. Look it up. I bet you could look it up. Hey, here's the thing. How far can a compound bow shoot if you shot in there? Hey, you need to take Christian with his, you know, bow and arrow.

What do we need? I'm just saying. Squatter? No, no, no, no, no, no.

So here's just, yeah, Christian being able to do something and you being able to do something are two different things.

Well, no, no, no, no, no, no.

But what is he going to change?

Hey, well, I'll ask you this. How far can a man with a boat, a man with a boat, shoot an arrow?

That's what I'm saying. I don't know. I'm saying, you're talking about hit a target?

Maximum theoretical range is 550 yards. See, there you go. Here you go. See?

I don't buy that. Oh, my gosh. I don't buy that.

Ripley's Believe It or Not, boys.

Hey, hey, hey, yo, because, hey, look, I don't know the pounders you can go up to because I think the guy in high school, his was 80 pounds full. Yeah, I think he might crank it. A 40-pound pull might shoot at 580 pounds. You can double that, baby. You can put that in there.

Would you like me to math your rock?

Yeah.

Because I will math the rock. Holly actually did it. Shout out to Holly. She sent me and Martin an Instagram message. This is a girl. Yes, Holly's a girl who cannot throw a rock that far. To throw a 1.17-ounce rock three miles, you would need an initial swing or release speed of approximately 740 miles per hour, which is roughly the speed of sound. And in reality, because air resistance slows projectiles down, you would realistically need 875 miles per hour to achieve that distance. And that is thrown at an angle. She's got words that I haven't used since I was in high school math, like cosine and sine, of 40 to 45.

Yes, I think. Well, hey, now here's the deal.

One mile, you got to go 350 miles per hour, Randy Johnson.

Here's the deal. Okay. Let's take, okay, someone that's five years younger than John Luke. 25. And is in pretty, is in good shape. Okay. Okay. Okay. say someone like christian okay okay okay give him a slingshot with a good sail rock

it's flat it's got to be the right rock yes any good day it's got to be our aerodynamic better give him some steroids okay i mean he's gonna need everything well no no

and he better be on top of a plane hey i'm telling you because hey i go back to the bible story of save it in July. Oh, goodness.

How far do you think he's from? I wasn't three miles away.

If a kid, a teenager, can throw a rock and bury it in a giant's head and kill him dead, graveyard dead, well, that giant's head has got skull.

Let's look up speed of rock to penetrate skull.

They've done that. We're about to do a whole Mythbusters episode on Si and his slingshot rock. And we're going to get one of those gelatin heads and pile it.

I'm going to get a Juggs mile-per-hour gun, and we're going to do a video of him slingshot and see how fast he can throw it.

To go 300 yards, you need approximately 115 miles an hour. Holly, shout out for that. I would say that's possible. Pebbles can be done. That can be done. That's possible.

That can be done. One mile, 400 miles an hour. I'm telling you, you get the right one in the right sling.

Yeah. Well, if people can throw a fastball 100 miles an hour, you can definitely throw a slingshot with momentum 115 miles an hour.

If a guy just hits an arm with his arm comes out, well, hey, you think, okay, take a pitcher that can throw a 100-mile die and put a sling in his hand. Hey, he's going to be faster than a 100-mile die with that sling.

Honestly, better than that, somebody that throws a javelin, and I bet you could throw a sling shot better.

Well, no, no, because, see, I told them that. I threw a javelin once. Hey, Phil threw a javelin like 200 yards.

Yeah.

And look, this is a stick.

Yeah.

Okay, because you got to know it's all about throwing it at the correct angle. Hold on.

What we need is an Olympic discus thrower. Yeah, yeah.

Who's that? That's a small one. Hey, think about this. I bet we can get an Olympic discus. I wonder how fast, really. Out to Camp Chioka. What's the guy that blew up the pigeon? Johnson? What was that the other day? Oh, Randy Johnson. Yeah.

I was going to eagle the pigeon.

Think about Randy Johnson with a sling in his hand. Okay, and how fast. 100-mile-an-hour pitch, he does that, you know, just with his arm. You give him the string, and I guarantee you, he would either double it or maybe even triple it. He might could swing that thing. First Samuel right there.

I was going to say this. When you said Randy Johnson, is his name Randy Johnson? Uh-huh. Yeah. He looks like Alan Jackson kind of. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he does. You could sell some t-shirts at General Vintage with Randy Johnson's face on them. Dude's a savage.

I'll never forget to watch that ball game. And he comes off the mail. With that thing to smithereens. So it was. And look. Then it looked like somebody shot it with a 10-gauge. But like a pillow clay. Pillow clay just blew up. Hey, it just blew up.

It feathers went everywhere. I've got bad news for society, though. What? because i googled randy johnson and google said people also ask did the bird survive no well that's like no the bird did not survive he blew up i think it's a joke there's like this

page on instagram called nature is metal and there'll be like some crazy stuff that happens in nature like an animal dying or an animal killing the other and like people will comment on me like does it hurt the animal does it it's like a joke it's like a thing because some people would say that. Did you say nature is metal? Yeah, have you ever seen that?

Blow up all the feathers. I started following that page

because of you. That page is awesome. I saw this another, this is a nature is metal thing. I took a video of it. I need to send it in, but the other day at the farm, it was probably six months ago, I watched a blue heron kill another blue heron in the pond. I'm talking about suffocated in the water. I just watched. Grabbed it and buried it. Yes. Drowned it. And just, he literally, So they have really long necks like a giraffe. And he literally put his feet on the breast of the other blue heron and pushed it and stretched it out. You didn't video it? I have a two-minute video of it on my phone. You're going to share it? You want to see it? Yeah, we want to. The thing's like.

Send it. Text it to me. Si needs to see this. I need to see that.

Because look, I watched a stupid one of these turkey buzzards. How's it going to be stupid? Hey, he ate about a 12-pound bass. This thing looked like that long and this wide because he kept throwing him up in the air and catching him. And I literally swallowed it. Yeah.

Where was this 12-pound bass?

Huh? Hey, he caught him and then ate him. I know that. So them things, you saw me crazy.

A turkey buzzard caught a 12-pound bass out of shinny, which is impressive by itself, and then flew it all the way to Si's house and was eating it.

No, no, it was on television. This was a show. This is PBS. This was a fishing show. I just, when I looked and he swallowed him, I went, no wonder they hate these things and they kill a bunch of them.

We need to come out with a turkey buzzard bait.

A turkey buzzard bait?

Just catch a 12-pound bass.

Filler. Filler goes to church with us. uh-huh he's a government uh man wildlife agent yeah and hey he goes out and they shot thousands of them you know and that day was always saying oh they're they're distinct you can't kill them you're talking about like predation tags or something yeah you know so hey you know but hey that's why they're if a bunch of them descend on a farm uh fish pond that you know that are doing it for business hey they'll eat the pond dry this video if you get a 12 pound bass You look great, you know.

Is there snow on the ground?

Yeah, this is like during the ice storm.

Oh. Well, I don't know how to get it on the TV, but me and Si are currently watching it. Oh, I'll see it. I'll see, okay.

This was like for 10 minutes.

Yeah, it takes a long time to drown.

I made Bella watch. She was in the car. I was like, we got to watch this, babe.

Did anybody just hear what Si said? What did he say? He goes, yeah, it takes a long time to drown. Well, no, it does.

have you ever done it this is crazy well come close but yo you gotta think about that they have bound to have a dispute over the fishing grounds no i looked it up they're like pretty

territorial like the males so i think if another male came in i think that's just kind of what they do like that was his pawn and he was gonna let that dude know like hey that's a big bird oh yeah he's huge no no yeah those are giant and i'm just telling you i'm just driving down the deal i'm like oh my god that's just happening in your yard in the pond at the pond all i hear is i'm like oh my gosh territorial dispute

I'll tell you, he done took them down. Is that how y'all used to act back in Vivian?

Hey, we follow a lot.

I'm glad the world's not like that anymore.

Hunter, I'm trying to send you that, by the way.

The clip is crazy.

But watching wildlife, you learn a lot.

Yeah, they're...

I'm serious.

Survival of the fittest.

Hey, that's the way life works.

He's not wrong. There's no emotions played into their decisions, really.

No, they're just trying to eat. Or do whatever it is that God programmed them to do. I like it. Delusional confidence. He's still reading the computer. Oh, I meant to say one thing about that. Yeah, tell us more. Usually with people of confidence, would you say they fail more or less than those without confidence?

I guess it would just have to depend on like... They keep trying. Yeah, they keep trying. I would say they probably more, but it also depends on the kind of confidence. Like, do you have rational confidence or irrational confidence? Some would call it.

Yeah, most of your leaders, okay, they're very confident people.

Yeah. It just depends on what you're confident in. I'll put the question. If you're confident in Jesus Christ or you're confident in something else, like a different religion, what would you say?

Well, no, I would say that's what I was going to bring up while I was going to go with the slang thing. Yeah. With man, you're limited. That is not what that verse is about. God, everything is a-

Hey, Philippians 4.13, I can do all things through Christ. That's the one he's on.

He's just like- He's going to look like Tim Tebow out in the parking lot with a sling here pretty soon, just throwing rocks. Somebody-

Hey, somebody put Si in a picture like King David throwing a slingshot for us. Y'all need to look at your clothing. The gladiator gear.

You probably could find me one.

What?

Buy me a boot that's got a long leather tongue.

Okay.

And then cut it out and bring it to you. Update, Martin bought two slings. He bought me two, he bought me two, and they're not, I've got to build my own.

I never thought about it at the time. We should have had the sling to throw at the pigeons on the cotton gin. I'd have had more pigeons in my chicken coop.

Do you have any pigeons in your chicken coop? I don't have any pigeons. I got some pigeons at camp, though. Oh, yeah. Did you get some more bees? They just live in the pavilion. Have you got any more bees? I got my bees. I'll pull some honey. Oh, I forgot about that. I also have about 100,000 bees, so you can count that to my living animals. Bees? He's going to have all kinds of honey and honeycomb. I'll pull some honey out for our locusts and honey meal.

All right, there you go. When he finds the locusts, he'll bring fresh honey with the locust. You also have bees?

Yeah, we kind of pondered off on him. We've done a film on that.

We filmed that. They're up there by the gate. They used to be in the backfield, but now they're up there by the gate at the front of the driveway.

John Luke can tell me if I'm wrong, but John Luke inherited all animals from Doug Dynasty, the revival.

All from Doug Dynasty, the revival. Anything that showed up is yours now. Any animal that was on the show is now. He did it willingly.

Why don't you take that dog back? Do you or your kids ride the horses? Who's got horses?

At the farm? Yeah. here i mean we used to ride the horses yeah i don't ride old now though i don't i'm not

getting on horses they're just grazers yeah no horses are great they're not grazers they're great i disagree i mean i agree and disagree well you look at them every day you get to see the i'm not touching a horse horses are cool i just once the horse realizes once you started doing

it no yeah you would against horses against them yeah i'm not getting on no horse why what if he figures out that he's in charge yeah that's when you bust you pussed right in the nose and that's

when he turns around and bites you right in the face if you punch a horse in the nose you're

gonna break your hand yeah okay i had one bite me and i punched him as hard as i could hit him right there in the nose and he he lifted me i had the range of confidence and he lifted me off the ground and then i pulled him back up to me and i said now do you know who's in charge we should start a series or do i have to punch you in the nose again fictional stories you stupid idiot can i add something

That's called the Duck Call Room. Add that to our Mythbusters episode. Can I add something weird? Please do, Hunter. I once went on a date with a girl, and we were messing with bees. We were filming a bee video, and I totally forgot about this. Was this a first date?

Hold on. What number date?

There's a lot of backstory to this. Date number two. Why does everything with you do that? Date number two?

This is actually true. You went straight to bee movie? Bees and bees stories.

Date number two, you were like, you like bees? I had to go film a video of my best friend's mom messing with bees because that's her whole job and I was like I'll just bring this girl with me and we both kind of know cameras it didn't go so well did you get stung? I did how many times? Just once on the hand did she get stung? I don't think so oh and she's still

she's not around anymore no she's crazy

she's crazy you took her on a date with bees yeah well not even like hey, we've been together for a while. You want to go see some bees? Like, hey, we hung out one time. I'm a fun time. How many?

Yeah, I take you to

go see bees. Is this your dating profile? He doesn't need a dating profile anymore. As soon as we tried to make him one, he's like practically married. You have that girlfriend still? Hey, not the bee.

Not the bee one.

Humble bee story. Me and Phil are squirrel hunting. okay and he crosses a fence he goes first and the fence post is right down his ground and just you know up hanging on the wire well phil went through and shook it up well guess what's in inside that rotten uh fence post these these when i got through yo i split my pants when i get through there well they get after me and I had read somewhere in a book that if you're being chased by a swarm of bees fall down and they will just go over you and they'll have to come back to try to find them that was in Winnie the Pooh well hey here's what I didn't here's what I didn't know I had ripped my pants and guess what I had a target

a bullseye

you had a full moon And if you've ever watched Bob Lyle Backsheep, the World War II story about, you know. Is this a movie? Yeah. No. Yeah. It's the guy that was, they had a squadron of fighters. Okay. They were fighter pilots. Well, hey, I remember a lot of his, you know, they'd be flying over and the leader would say, I'll get on the radio and he'd say, hey, right down below us, there's the target. That's the way the bees was that day. I fell down, and all it did was leave it to me. He says, and then, hey, they stung me 27 times on my behind. That's the biggest my butt has ever been. And my mother, when she was pulling the stingers out.

So it was just like regular size?

No, no, no. My mom was just average size. You could actually sit on the toilet? Mama was just dying laughing pulling the stingers out, and I said, it ain't funny. She said, if you could see how big your butt is, you would laugh too.

Yeah, you would laugh because the other day I posted that video of you with the slingshot, and the top comment was, Si has negative butt. Look it.

No, no. Negative. Your shoulder blades stick out further than your cheek. I come down off my back, and it goes in.

I'll say this like I say to Zane. You're the type of person's legs that, even with the lid down, you still fall in the toilet when you sit on it.

Got him.

That's a good one.

Bye-bye. Oh, boy. What you got? All right. What's the almighty? Well, I had to go look up what Bye-Bye Black Sheep was. That's apparently a TV show from 1976.

Bye-Bye Black Sheep.

That was who's the star of it. I don't. None of us were alive. I mean, who's the star of it is? Come on. Tell him the star. I don't know. That guy. Yeah. Well, what's his name? Robert Conrad. Yeah, Robert Conrad.

Mr. Conrad.

Mr. Conrad was Major Greg Pappy.

Yep.

What a name. Pappy Williamson. I have no idea. Anyway, in 1 John 5, the Bible says this. John's writing it. John wrote 1 John, right?

Yeah.

Had to have. 1 John, John wrote it for you. You can say that. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us and we know that he hears us whatever we ask we know that we asked of him guess what i'm gonna say before i throw that rock uh-oh let me throw it three miles

You better hope it's in his will.

Because that's the only way it's going to happen, boys.

You better hope it's in that will, baby.

He's going to hear you.

If he's going to angels in the outfield it out there, we'll see. We don't have because we don't ask. So guess what? That day, I'm going to ask. Ask it with confidence, baby. Let me throw this rock three miles before I get in Jody and Martin's face.

We need some prayer warriors for Psy's rock-throwing abilities.

All right, we got to go. We'll see you all next time right here in the Duck Call Room.

Thank you.
