Insights
- Hunting storytelling culture emphasizes exaggeration and creative license as entertainment value rather than literal truth
- Servant leadership and humility are presented as countercultural concepts that challenge traditional power dynamics
- Personal experience and practical knowledge are valued over formal education in hunting and outdoor contexts
- Community and relationship-building through shared activities (hunting, Bible study) serve as primary social structures
- Reluctance to assume leadership roles reflects preference for autonomy and avoiding accountability to others

You blew up a beaver damn son. Somebody you were asking stone. Well, I was at stone. He come over and ask you don't go blow up a beaver down with me. I said, no, I'm not really interested. Yeah. Well, that was a sure sign he's getting old. Yeah. Yeah. I just got slightly worried. Well, hey, look, you know, just, you know, it ain't much. If you've seen a thousand. Explosions. If you've seen a thousand, you've seen the next one. Right. Well, hey, once you done it once, hey, right off the bucket list. Once there's somebody blowing things up. Oh, I know. And if you said, hey, you'll go hunt beaver tonight and pop them in the head. Then I said, well, yeah, hey, let's go kill a few. Yeah, you got it right. Sideway more of a night out than an early riser. Oh, yeah, I don't fix that. No, it's sunrise ain't for him, boys. No, I'm only if he's still awake. That's the only time he sees the sunrise if he's still awake. He's trying to get up. It was a monstrosity of beaver dam. Huge. We took three inch PVC. A four foot section of it. A four foot section. Tanneryte. Tanneryte and then stuck it into the beaver dam. I get in the middle of the beaver dam, backed off a hundred yards, put your goggles on. Boom. What was that? 30. 30. And it went. Big boom. Big boom. It's going up. Oh, yeah. It blew a hole for me to you in that thing. Well, I hope his 34 beavers come out with it. With it. Oh, it was. All the limbs. I've not seen 34 dead beavers. It was a spectacle. Oh, Jordy had a drone flying over the top of it. Oh, about 80 foot. And when he was watching the screen, he. Dirt. Get out of the way because some. It scared him. It scared him. Just came inches from taking that drone out. Well, he a little skittish anyway. Well, hey. Yeah. It was. And old Dan has some shrapnel blow by him. You know, Dan a butler. Yeah, I passed him on my way up here. Well, I was out guns out, baby. He on that motorcycle with that one helmet is too small, but them arms is blaring red like getting burnt to a risk. When your arms are built like that, you can leave them out for all year long. Yeah. Oh, Dan, yeah. Seeing him on that little bitty motorcycle, though, I just I'm glad he's still all in one piece. Dan's a good hand. He's trustworthy. Oh, yeah. I grew up with Dan. He's he's awesome. How it is, Dan. Y'all same age? I'm the same age as his little brother. He's three years older than me. I'll say he might. We're about 40. Yeah. Yeah. Dan's pushing 40. He might not be 40 yet. But going back to the beavers. Yeah. That's a unique little animal. Oh, when you hit that right, right down to it. I know you seen his gas station. Oh, hey, I'm talking about slick now. Seeing his gas. There they they can make a dam that will hold water at the level they want it to be at. Let me tell you something. A buck is is a beaver dam because everything that come by it stopped. Yep. Oh, he's a great character for a week and a half or two weeks ago. And I was like, good grief. It's starting to get like too much. The words out. We got to we we got to stop telling people about it. I wanted the beach is shoulder to shoulder traffic. Oh, it wanted the beach. You can only stop him on him when it's dark. Yeah. That's the only time you can even reasonably get in and out of that place. It's got to be dark outside. That's the only reason my kids want to go to the beach. Stop it. But I'll be back to be fair. That is the highlight of going to the beach. On the beach for what? Bucking gas station. Bucking. You've never been to one. He's never been. I go by we got to take him in. And he goes in the parking lot. He just ain't going to go in. I never go in. Well, I don't blame you because you're kind of the Bucky's. Why? I mean, you probably should call Mr. Bucky. Yeah, I mean, you could probably offset your retirement a little bit if you just go in a few of them. I don't get recognized a lot of places. But it's pretty well a very high percentage if I go on a Bucky. That's one of the reasons I don't go in. Are you from Duck Dynasty? I'm like, I've never been in one and not taken a picture. We would be a Philip was on a trip and we have flown gas and was going to go and get gas and a Bucky. And this thing got like 50 stalls. Oh, I got more than that. Yeah. And hey, there's lives on all 50 of them. I know they just like Chick-fil-A. They've tricked you into spending money with them and feeling good about it. And then Philip said, well, you want to go get something? I said, I ain't going in there to do it. Not up in there. I said, we would never get served. Plus they ain't got no straw very mulled. Now, I will say this, you in and out quick. They got a system. So you go in there and get yourself get out. Hey, look, I just couldn't believe it because there's too many people. And look, that's one of the best places on planet Earth to take a dump. Amen. I was hoping that's where you were going. You got your own little. Good clean. It's not a stall. It's a room. Yeah. It's a room that. It's a room. You got a whole room to yourself. Oh, yeah. It's private. You could take your lunch in there. And there's somebody waiting with cleaning supplies as soon as you get off the pot. Why is that in America that some of our stall doors have like a two inch gap between them and the wall? Yeah. Well, anybody walks in there because look in there. It's weird. And it's like, you have to if you got to take a dump, you got to look, see if somebody's there. There was trying to be cheap. Yo, Bucky's is doing it right. Put a half, put a half a door up. It's weird. Have you ever made eye contact through that crack with somebody on the other side? I think there's a lot of jokes here. I can't. I have seen people come in and they're looking under the stall. Oh, yeah. But it's taking a dump and they're looking under the stall. I've never had that happen. I have. I've never. What time? I sit like this sometimes just to trick people. Well, no, I'm just. I've never. I don't know. I'm in here. How in the world. I've never had to wonder if you're in a bathroom or not. You give a play by play. Oh, I was walking in and he's got some kind of phobia because they next time I know I'm looking and I'm looking and he's at the mightier floor level. Checking out what's in the stall. He might have just been seeing what you made of. He saw your socks and said, Oh, crap. Is that side rubber? Yeah, he's I got to see. I got to see what he's made of, y'all. Let's see if I'm gonna say means what he says. Y'all, it is weird. We need to all go to the Bucky's all public bathroom. I wish I had a cap pistol. There's a lot of security. You know what? I'm like, Oh my gosh. I just stuck it on the thing. You're a cap. Yeah, I ain't heard about a cap gun in a minute. Oh, I used to love. I look. They still make. I love the smell they put out. Yeah, a little bit. They still make them. All right. Well, I say that. Honored. You know, if they still make cap guns, get one off Amazon right now. I think they still got them. Oh, we know. No, I know the hair because here's the thing. Get a real gun. They make them. They make them too much. Look, they look real. Too real. Yeah, they make them look too real. Eight dollars and thirty nine cents right there on Amazon. Yeah, which is dangerous. Oh, yeah. This got the orange thing. I'm surprised they hadn't outlawed them yet. You know, they got rid of those candy cigarettes. Those were awesome. Yeah, really? Candy cigarettes ain't a thing no more. I think they outlawed that. They outlawed the big league to remember the big league to in the back of. They the gun on to. Oh, what is happening? They still make rain blow. That multicolor gun ball package, you know, had like 10 of them in the thing. Big dummy gun balls. Those were those. Those were good. They got big league shoes still around. OK, good. They're still there. They even got Aaron Judge on the cover and great. Well, then they ought to call it choke. Oh, boy. Oh, sorry. Thanks for not showing up in the finals, Mr. Judge, if you order some, it just never arrives at your home. Yeah, especially when it matters. It'll show up when it doesn't matter. Sorry, Aaron. I'm who cares. My favorite part of the world baseball classic is that the US beat the Dominican Republic on a controversial call. I'll give it that. But because we have somebody from the Dominican that works at Duck Commander now, so like I don't know anybody from Venezuela to talk trash to, but congratulations, Venezuela, by the way. But no, Louise was just all in your president. Yeah, we still got him. I don't know if y'all are thankful for that or not, but we'll trade you a trophy. Anyways, but so how have you been doing? Nothing? Not much. Ellen. Not much. Watching a lot of TV. How's your house coming? I'd need to get I need to get a report from a woman. I ain't been over. He's one of her and Leo's go check it. So for now, you're still Ston's neighbor and Johnny D's neighbor. Yep. Are you all right? Because I've never seen you, by the way. Hey, I don't go anywhere. Well, you're not at home. Hey, the only place I actually actually go is here. In church. No, but podcast and church and the church. Yeah, that's it. Well, we going somewhere next week. Or what we got next week after next week on the Texas. Yeah, oh, to Texas. Getting the helicopter. Oh, yeah, the helicopter. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And then he, uh, Jordan said, hey, we're going to you going to do something else. What's that? He said, go shoot a turkey. I said, I don't care about shooting no turkey. You turkey. You don't care nothing about shooting a turkey. Well, that's rude. Why? They got him. I mean, they ain't much excited about that. Oh, it ain't too bad. Well, they don't talk about she won out of the train like he used to do. Well, now I do that. They're going to do that. I don't care about it. I don't care about calling them up or I slip in a squirrel hook one day. I looked, looked over and I thought it was a turkey. So I put the slip on him. I get right up on him and shoot him. I'll know. I'll give him any falls. I look and I said, well, he's got a red head, but it ain't right. Buzzard. You buzzard. You done. You done. You done slipped your turkey. Yeah. I done. I done slipped up on the poster. Oh, man, I still remember the first time I saw an ultrasound of the boys. You want to talk about life changing, man. When you see that heartbeat, that little bit of movement, it just hits you. That's life, man. Look, all over the country, pregnant women are being pressured to make irreversible decisions and moments of fear and panic. They're told to act quickly, leaving many feeling like abortion is their only option. But because of you, they have another choice and that choice is life. Right? Like a pre-born network clinics, a woman receives what the abortion industry will never offer, compassion, clarity and the hope of the gospel. She's given a free ultrasound in space to breathe and more than 80% of the time when a mother sees her baby on an ultrasound at a pre-born network clinic, she chooses life. This March, pre-born is hoping to save 6,800 babies, but it will take 124 partners saying yes every day they're taking care of these ladies. They're offering support, counseling up to two years. Diapers, wipes, all that kind of stuff. They're not just leaving them out there. They're setting them up for success. Would you pause your busy day for just one moment and become a yes right now? One ultrasound is just $28 or $140 can help five mothers. Every dollar helps save babies and share hope. As pre-born celebrates 20 years of saving babies, there's a moment that can save countless lives for years to come. An ultrasound machine doesn't just show a picture, it introduces a mother to her child and many clinics don't have one, nor can they afford one. Pre-born's goal is simple and urgent. Place an ultrasound machine in every clinic across America that needs one. If you have the means, would you consider a tax deductible gift of $15,000 to save countless lives? To donate securely, dial pound 250 and say the key word baby. That's pound 250 baby. Or go to pre-born.com slash. Dirk. That's pre-born.com slash. Dirk. Hey, man, the buddy man, he's got a 36 inch 12 gauge single barrel. Goose gun. Goose gun. Bolt action. Huh, no. One in bolt action. No, this was, yeah it was. Yeah, I got one there. Yeah. Look, and we shot it a buzzard that's come over way high. That sucker chased us and tried to puke on us. Because you shot at him? Huh, yeah. He shot at him and didn't kill him. I don't know if he hit him or not, but he shot at him and what he did. That round score just started. Hey, he is 152 yards high, okay? And you could smell it when he was throwing it up. You tell him that stink. He was dropping bombs on you. Poof, you tell him that. And hey, somebody asked me when I was telling him stories, so why didn't you shoot him? I said, hey, we're too busy running. Trying to dodge a puke. Yeah, trying to dodge, bomb it. Hmm. I'm so confused. But hey, he just chased us for 30 minutes. The buzzard? The buzzard chased us for 30 minutes till we finally just went in the woods where he couldn't see us. No. So that's one thing you don't want to do. You either kill him outright or you better not shoot at him. Because if you shoot at him, he's fixed the bomb to you. He's slamming the table so hard stuff's falling off the wall over there. Oh, no. Hey, that was that was rough. Because you saw that stink. Well, think about what they eat. What did I say? That's the thing. I was like, yo, but you saw my raw. I saw a bunch of them on a creek the other day. I was wondering what done got dead and blowed it up and floated. That was the buzzard. Bunch of them like 40 pack. I feel feel was running. There was about 20 of them in the road in a truck. And he was just he didn't slow down. And hey, guess what? Next thing. Hey, he's fighting the buzzard inside the truck. They didn't kill the buzzard. No, it busted through the window and then feels fight him. OK, trying to drive it. You've heard this. He finally killed him. They finally got him. I would not want to fight Phil Robertson in the front seat of a car. But but but on the flip side, I would not want to fight a buzzard there. Oh, hey, my family has hit some wild stuff with with cars. Any humans? Yeah. Well, no, not up. Hey, I come close. They come real close. So you don't like turkey hunting? No, it's fun. They eat good. They eat good. Oh, hold on. That's my problem, though. But they're good. I mean, it is not the everybody up here was trying to get me in Turkey and swearing up and down by it. And then they killed one and they cooked it up here. And it was just chicken nuggets. That's all it is. Yeah, you turn it. That's all you turn it into Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets. Yeah. But well, I passed two of them to get here. Yeah, I'm just saying, you know, sometimes it's more fun to spend a couple of hundred dollars and kill it and eat it. Well, it definitely is. It's just go by it. You know, you don't like doing the hope. Well, no, no. Because I will tell you what, no, it's dangerous. Why is it dangerous? Because I've seen them on TV. Well, they were just against the tree. And then the next thing that happened is, hey, the camera's flying one way. The guy sitting against the trees, rolling, fighting a bobcat. That's a lot true. Orco. I never thought. Because, hey, the bobcat heard a little pluck pluck pluck pluck pluck pluck. And hey, here he comes. And hey, he hit that sucker wide open. And hey, the camera went one way. The hunter went the other. The hunter and the bobcat went the other way. Johnny D, you remember TK and Mike. TK and Mike. TK and Mike. Had a little bit. One of them sit on one side of the tree. The doors were TK and Mike. And the other one was on the other side of the tree and he was gobbling. But they thought each other was a turkey. Oh, I like that. Oh, W.W. It was wild to watch. OK, go Mike. This was about a... Oh, he ain't talking about TV. Oh, a minute and a half. He's back to the bobcat. You know, you're watching a guy that camouflage with a bobcat on and there are both. There's been a lot of instances of turkey hunters shooting other turkey hunters thinking they were turkeys. Right? Yep. Now, I see that. Never thought about that. That's even more scaring. There. What, getting shot? Yeah. I saw one that is turkey hunting. Would you rather get shot or attacked by a bobcat? Huh? Give me the bobcat all day. That's just a big mean raccoon. Yeah, but you'd love to survive that one. You'd better get maimed up or something. Oh, I was sitting on a live squirrel hunting. A bobcat. One morning. And I met a fox. I saw something. Looked on the other end. Other end of the log. And it's a bobcat. Coming at you? Yeah. He get you? No. You get him? No. I shot shot. No, it was scared away. You'd rather get shot than be attacked by a bobcat. Oh, I'm just saying I ain't ever really thought about it. Well, hey, either one of them is going to be painful. Yeah, they both going to hurt. Yeah, they both go hurt. And you ain't going to see either one of them coming out of the thing. That's true. They are. I'm just saying why hunting. I don't know what you do about that, man. That's a toughie. I don't sound good enough to trick a human or a bobcat. They're down there and I can trick a turkey. That's like a good trick. The guy that actually had to kill a a a a ostrich. Miller. I was there for that one. My brother. During the rut. Mike. Yeah, I was there for that one. Mikey. Mm hmm. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Martin saw that man get attacked by an ostrich. I did. Oh, you're you're a. I saw the. Hey, you're a huckle. Mack told me that. Hey, one of them whooped him. Max. He got to be with him and doing something. Let me tell you something. Next time that thing did was jump up and kick him. Uh huh. And he was right there in the chest and knocked my to knock him out. Oh, yeah. That's a big old chicken. Right. Hey, I believe it. That's a that's a velocity. Right. So they're they're feet. They're feet are huge. They got three, three big toes. Why do you think I crawled over the top of my truck? Yeah. Get in it. He won on him in his pickup truck. It's the same one that get that hurt. Oh, yeah. He shot. Yeah. Same same. Ostrich. Yeah. He scared me. He whooped him. Buddy, he killed himself to fence. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I had to go. That's one thing that the right to say. Don't shoot my breathing. Oh, Ostrich. Hey, what happened? Got him. Got him. I had him. And I should have one thing on his mind. Protect my nest. Apparently we got to the way. Yeah. Yeah. Don't get in his way. Yeah, we didn't have no idea though. We didn't go out there that morning and intend to know not to have. You never intend to be in an Ostrich attack. I guess unless you're Malcolm who went in the cage with him. Animals and birds during that period, you don't want to mess with them. Oh, that period. Yeah. The red. Well, that's when I sense in your in play, you don't want to get get involved in that. I don't know for our listeners how much you can hear, but side, the noise maker is on. I guess we took away his bell. Well, I am. The bongo. He has slanted the table. Well, we filmed that last one and unashamed and said, hey, sit on your hands. Because we had four mics on one table. So he's just making up for lost time. I mean, it is wild. I feel like I'm sitting in an earthquake. He overlooking like Mel Gibson on Braveheart saying freedom and just beating a snot out of everything, man. I want to saw Mel Gibson eat popcorn and that is a memory. Oh, hey, forget. Huh? Just leave it there. Look, this is what you don't let an old person do. Don't give him too much time to think. Oh, then we're in trouble with you. Yeah. That's all you're doing. Yo, I've been in deep thought. Oh, boy. About. And like when I was in high school, everything was Simon says, you know, big it was big back in the end of the day. Okay. Well, I come up with a no, it ain't Simon says. We're losing the man. Let's go with the man. Oh, the man. Yeah. Really thought you were going to go with. I said, Jesus, what does Jesus say? No, I'm on that kick now. Okay. That's your new kick. Well, what would Jesus say? What would he do with time? No, no, I, hey, it was all like a stand to listen to Al, Zach, Christian and John Luke. I started just grabbed the chair and going to sit down and get him, get him involved. Lord, I wish. Oh, yeah. No, no. Cause I started to cause they, they had a good deal going on. I wanted to talk to Al, but I had to come over here and do this. Cause I was going to tell Al. I said, man, it was everything. You took everything in me enough to interrupt you. Well, he's your neighbor now. You can go talk to him. Well, no, he was in, he was in there because we got here. No, I know. I got here an hour. We couldn't find Si. They couldn't find me next to this truck here. He's got to be here. If I was in there with him, you were the live studio audience on. Oh yeah. They had a, he was live on it. What were they talking about? They was talking about the Roman government that Jesus showed up at that timeframe. Zero, which is, which one you think about it is pretty, pretty amazing. You know, the Romans were in control of everything. And then the power structure was just one individual, the emperor. And then they had governors. Yeah. I think governor's under even stuff. Waste all that. What got me, they didn't realize because Zach mentioned something about power. Well, what they don't realize is, hey, most Christians don't realize the power that God's children have. We've got Jesus' power. Man, I gotta tell you, I didn't think I'd be on another weight loss journey this year. After I've dropped all that weight last year, I got stuck and thought for sure that was the best I was going to do, but boy was I wrong. I'm just six weeks in and I'm about 15 pounds down, but that's where the coach is so valuable. How's your knees feeling? Perfect. Look, the inflammation is gone just about. I mean, I can jump out of my truck now. No problem. PhD weight loss hasn't figured out. Look, there's one thing that tells your body to burn fat or distort and most diets absolutely miss it, but not the team at PhD. They've built a plan that actually works with your body, not against it. So if you've tried all the diets, keto, paleo, fasting, and you're just feeling stuck, it's because they're all the same and it's time to try something different. If you call now, they'll give you two free weeks in the program and pay for your food so you can finally see real results. If you're done with yo-yo dieting and want clarity, call PhD weight loss now and mention. Go on. No more guessing. Just answers. Call 864-644-1900 and say. Go on. That's 864-644-1900 or visit my PhD weight loss.com. So that's why I want to talk to you. I said, because we don't understand really what's at our disposal. Yeah, the scripture is, hey, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 413. Yeah, so really, when you think about it, hey, the power grid and it's the wildest thing when he shows up and how he shows up because you would think the king of king and Lord of lords would like, because it's shocked the whole world that he didn't go to none of the authorities, the people so-called that had the power grid. He didn't even go to them unless he was taken. Oh, and then one day they did bring him before the power. Jesus told him, hey, if it wasn't for my father, you wouldn't have this power. That kind of is the most gangster line in the history of it. Yeah, that's a good mic. See, that's what I'm talking about. You don't understand the average Christian. You don't understand what's at your disposal. What do you think they thought when he told them that? No, no, see, that's it. Probably, well, they probably thought he was insane. Yeah, because hey, what the emperor told Paul that, have you lost your mind, Paul? You think you're going to convert me to be a Christian when I'm sitting here and I'm killing them as fast as I can? Yeah, what a guy. Most people really don't understand because it was not a kingdom of what they're used to, this kingdom that Christ brought into existence. Yeah, but it'll never, it'll never, you know, though, it's pretty wild when you think of it. There you go. Deep thoughts was so. Oh, it is, you know. And I've sitting there talking about, yeah, I should go in there, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna stay right here. He said that. I'm gonna stay right here. I'm gonna have a microphone. I'm gonna stay in my lane. Yeah, let's restrain yourself control because I'll take over this whole thing. My question is, which one would you have knocked out of the way if you pulled up a chair? Oh, that probably would. Hey, that probably said, hey, welcome. No, I know that, but you'd have had to get a chair. Huh? Yeah, you was going to have to get a chair. Who's microphone where you still? Yeah, who are you taking? Hey, I will. I don't need a microphone. I was so fired up. I want to talk loud enough, trust me, without the microphone. Oh, yeah, I've heard you in church. Oh, seriously, when I get fired up, I get loud. I'm not gonna say. Well, in that instance, you don't say. I'm loud and proud, boys. Oh, especially when you talk about the savior. It's a good one to talk about. Oh, no, I think I'll drive over just, you know, for us can talk about it. Because there was some questioning I wanted to ask you about, which they had a good study going. No, there you go. Yeah, what question you got? And I said, well, well, I just, you know, I just want to know if we can. The first thing I would say was I said the Romans thought they had the power. Well, as far as they knew that. Yeah, far as they knew they had it. But hey, in reality. But imagine me and them. And I don't know that's why it's because you got all you got all of it. You got the power. You got the money. You got everything. Here comes this. Here comes this cat. No, yeah, I say. I do what? And look, and then the reason like you asked, what did they think? Well, they didn't know what to do with it. So that's what I said. Hey, we got to kill it. No, because they really didn't know what to do with Jesus. That the Romans didn't have to kill it. No. Yeah, I was in there like the emperor. They were scared he was going to take over his his his role, you know. Yeah. But she could at any point that he decided to. Yeah, yeah. He humbled himself. So that's what they didn't understand about what, you know. Well, I mean, it didn't it didn't fit their perspective of what he was going to be. Well, before Jesus, there wasn't really any servant leadership. So to speak. So they were emperors. Yeah, they were dictators. They were whatever name you want to put on. No, no, no, dictator was a good name. Yeah. OK. Yeah, dictator. Good name. They called him emperors because I think it seems fancier. But yeah, they just it was a one one person's decision. They wouldn't, you know, they had a little Congress or whatever. But still, he outruled them all. I actually seen one movie that that portrayed a lot of the six years of light. And so rough stuff that that there are Romans did to the Christians. Oh, yeah. And it was the best thing that that movie was. Every time the emperor would walk through all the dead bodies of the Christians. It tried. It drove him insane. Because they all had a smile on their face and they had just been killed by a lion. You know, and hate when he walked by, they all had a big grin on their face. You know, and in his head, the guy that done the move was great. Because in his head, he could hear them laughing. So it literally drove him insane. Yeah, because he's Joe. I don't want to be an emperor. No. I don't even want to be mayor. No, I don't want no public office. Well, no, no, not none. I don't even like being in charge. I'm a good number two. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, because that's you get to Oscar for best supporting. I got that was me in the military. Sign me up. Yeah. Yeah, I don't ever want to be. I was a better soldier follower. I mean, hold on. You sit here all the time and say how you were terrible in the military because you couldn't follow. Well, no, no, but I'm serious, Joe. So that really says a lot if he was better at acting. Yeah. Well, no, no, I wasn't. They said that meeting. Hey, being honest with myself, I was a better follower. Yeah. Because every time I was in charge, they let me in charge. And then when I made the decisions, they all were berserk. It's how much you can't do that. And I said, well, hey, here's here's the deal. So I spent his whole career trying to get demoted. Yeah, yeah, we're giving me this. Yeah, that's right. Put me in charge when you put, you know, when I do my what I'm gonna do. Hey, you're not gonna like it. Way harder to get a nap that way. Yeah, way harder. Once you once you get too important at work, you can't take now. People start looking for you. Well, no, because when you're in charge, you're always the man that's got to you've got to be there to be a give them answers. Yeah, right. OK, and then this was so weird and funny about the whole thing. They don't like the answers that I give them. No, well, sure. Well, that's like every hundred. There during four we went hunting every morning. So I was in charge of figured out which blind we needed to go to. Oh, no, it was insane. And every every blind that he said we should go to, we went to the total opposite. Toll option. And that day that me and Jayce like to have to fight. It was his fault and Phil's fault because I told him, hey, the flight's going to be on you better go to the lake. But that that was the highlight of every hunt for me was sitting there listening. To him, Phil and Jayce arguing about where we should go. And I just told him I told him, I heard it. I'm going to do what you're going to do. I said, but hey, when when it's all said and done, you're going to be bad. OK, at me, because hey, you didn't go what I told you. I heard that argument thousands of times. And you know how many times they went with size recommendation? Big go, zero, zero, say again. How many times it would they screw up? Oh, quite often. OK, because if they listen to me, what I told them, if I said, hey, most decoys over here a little to the left, if they'd done it with a kill. That was also every morning. So I would put the decoys out. So you don't make a great follower. No. So hey, they don't like my when I make a decision, they don't like it. OK. Yeah. They never have nobody does. But you can make a decision. But I can make the decision. I'd put the decoys out. He said, maybe the decoys ten yards over there. But hey, but to put them, I know why they do what they do. OK, because when Jason put that decoy, most of them are going to be on their hands. That's because we want them to die. OK, because so they want to shoot them. OK, because they die. You going to miss? No, I ain't missed. Nothing gets out my hand, son. Nothing. That's like feeling them saying, hey, I don't ever flare ducks. Well, that's the bunch of you know what. OK, because they flare ducks because they're the only ones that's got an open porch. OK, everybody else has got a brush pile in top of the old top of it. Especially yours truly. You get you're getting fired up. Oh, no, I don't. That's why I know I love talking with them because, hey, for someone that has done it for 50 years, you would think they would still use common sense and be careful what they say. But no, they ain't careful. They just plowed it out and I'll kill them every time they do it. I finally figured out Phil was like he was stoking that fire all the time. He had that poker at him. Oh, no. Stoking that fire. He loved it. He loved it. Why don't you? I think it's like when I think about that, when he said that, Phil, Phil like to poke the bear. Oh, he loved it. That's because he knew he was the biggest bear. He knew I would respond. OK, yeah, yeah, you poke this bear. Hey, you're going to get a crown coming, son. Y'all know we believe the story of Easter is the most beautiful story ever told. But sometimes because we know it so well, we can forget what it actually costs. What if this year you slowed down and considered the cost? That's actually the idea behind Tim Tebow's new book, If the Tree Could Speak, because it's telling the crucifixion story from a different perspective. You've never heard before the cross itself. Look, it's one of those books that makes you stop and think and really picture what that day was like. The illustrations are beautiful and every page leads you to really feel the weight of the crucifixion moment. You reflect, think and deepen your faith. Reading it, you step inside the story and hear the witness and ultimately experience Easter like never before. It's hard to find a favorite point of the death of Jesus Christ besides when he was raised from the grave. But on page 71, he's here in this beautiful drawing between two thieves. And he says, today you will be with me in paradise. And that to me, that gives me chills thinking about that guy right there. And so they've captured every moment of the story of Easter, which is unbelievable. That's awesome. Look, this one's worth checking out, y'all. You'll see the crucifixion differently than ever before. If the tree could speak by Tim Tebow is available now on Amazon. Order your copy today. Hey, I've had it all my life, you know, according to them, according to the whole Robertson family, OK, including my brothers, I've never killed anything and I've never caught anything. No, not once. Not one. OK. I'm talking about zero. You sure kill a lot when you come with me. All right. Well, hey, I can get a stone every time I talk about his own life. So I know. Yeah, you didn't kill anything. And I said, wait a minute. I said, hold it. I said, all of y'all, especially I point to him, I said, especially you, you're educated. I said, you know, you are no better. Hey, OK. And I said, let me give y'all a little scientific information here. I said, Jason, what what have you got in your shot? Oh, here we go. What kind of joke? Oh, what the jokes? Yeah. And he said, extra fool. Extra. And I said, extra, extra, read all about it. Yeah. And I said, how many ducks fail out of that bunch? Oh, all 25 of them fail. I said, well, I got news for you. You may, but I doubt it. You may have crippled one. You may have crippled. Yeah, you may have crippled one. He probably shot one. I said, but hey, when multiples fall. I said, you can look to the right of you down here in the middle. And hey, if you ask who killed them, I will simply raise my hand for you so you know who did. OK, because hey, when multiples fall, I've got an open bore. So when I pull up and shoot three times, I've covered about a six foot barn door. And when I did it, the ducks are bunched up and most of the three shots are right in the middle of them. Ducks that are bunched up. And I said, that's why I hate the first three shots, 17 fail. And guess who shot the first three times? You shot three times for anybody else pulled the trick. Hey, before they I hate, if you run the film back, you'll hear it. Boom, boom, boom, slow motion. I've seen that. Three shots in hey, 17 fail. And then hey, they kill seven because that's all was left. 17 fail and they won, but 25. I'm on your side in this whole argument. Oh, hey, I. It was. That's why I enjoyed. I when I. I enjoyed the dialogue when I do kind of with you and stone that one time. There was no ducks to be seen. And then that poor crow fell flew over and side had enough. He said, no. Yep. He's. On the. Blind backs. And it was far away. Happened down there on Honeybreak, too. And then him and him and stone. Try to. Jason and stone tried the next morning down there on the lake. They shot a box of shells of peaches to good kill the crow. I can confirm that story is not true. That's bull. Hey, they shot a bunch of them. I don't remember who told me that. But hey, that's the Jason and stone both shot 25 time trying to kill a crow like you did the other day down there. Honeybreak. We got plenty of around here. Storytellers. And he's the king. Got a bunch of. Love it. Yeah, you and you and your nephew. Hey, hey, he can hold his own and story telling. He is so low. So he's. That's that boy. Hey, he's got the only thing I take advice from Jason Robertson on. Is the Bible. OK, he knows what he's talking about there. But otherwise, otherwise, no, there's too much BS involved. He is a story teller. Well, he's one of the one of in the top 10. You know, he's got this Facebook page. Yeah, right. And Debbie called me not too long ago. He said, hey, is Jason OK? What do you mean? He said, I should cut his leg off when it changed on. You know, something. What about some boy dying of hypothermia down there? You know, what? That was during the ice storm. Debbie. Jason puts up on his Facebook. Right. He talked about almost cutting his leg off. He was injured. And he's got a little scratch on his leg. I mean, he didn't make his leg. But it's a little scratch. He was injured. They're talking about a OK. With a hypothermia. He got his boot started leaking and he got cold. I mean, he was shaking a little bit. You know, but but Jason's story turned into he had hypothermia and almost died. That's that loss of toll. Yeah, I heard that. I didn't hear that. Tation. Amputation. He went through the whole thing. What was that on? Had to be on other shame. Was it? Well, he'd take a story and just. Oh, well, to be fair, that time he came in the honey hole for the me and Muthang and then told the story about it on Unashamed. Me and my dad sat there and listened to it. We're like. I mean, there's a little there's there's there's definitely some side flair. What a what a creative license. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, you know what? Yeah, Jason's son, Reed, who's almost who's also named side, has that same talent. Oh, yeah. That boy is telling tales. His whole life telling wild tales. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. Whenever, whenever Jayce told that story, because Jayce don't have a lot of stories with me, but when he told that one, I was like, we're really amping. Oh, you know, you just have to know how to print. Prime him. Yeah. Oh, if you get it prime, he'll tell stories. OK. I have that part of I like it. That's like me poking you. If you poke me the wrong way, I'll fix the batch. I do have a fabulous Jayce story from when I was in junior high, though. Whenever he was our Bible teacher, I was thinking about this the other day. He was Jayce. How old is Jayce now? 56. Oh, 54. So I was no double nickels. He said last year he was 55 when I turned 40. I think our birthday was like a week apart. So when Jayce was my age, he was out teaching the junior high boys Bible class on Wednesday nights and he told us, I remember two things vividly from that class. Oh, he said, you need to look at a woman like a doctor does. He sees negative people all day. Doesn't bother him at all. And I was like, that seems impossible. And then the line of the century from Jayce Robertson to a bunch of 13 and 14 year old boys, he said, I mean, y'all looking at these women on these. Hey, you wouldn't know what to do with her if she popped out of that scream. You'd scream. Go, ah, you remember that. I remember you were a junior high. Oh, yeah. That's what he told me. He said, y'all looking at these women on these screens, y'all wouldn't know what to do with them if they crawled out of that TV. That was our Bible class. Check's out. Yeah. It made me laugh really hard. Yeah, better than, uh, it feels less than to the junior high kids on the different venereal diseases. He had a media. He had a way of listing them off pretty quickly. Rapid fire. He get them out. Yeah. You're gonna feel though. I have a great email that I'm actually, uh, very curious as to size thoughts. Uh, Mike from Nash County, North Carolina. Email North, Kackalack baby. North Kackalack. Good country. So when Phil was on, he got it BC, Phil Robertson. I'm assuming this is when Phil was on the run. So he was prime Phil Robertson before Jesus. Would he have been able to outsmart prime dog, the bounty hunter? Yep. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All day long. Every day. Yeah. Because prime feel existed in a time where technology wasn't a thing. Like dog track. A lot of his people with the cell phone, with cell phones and stuff like that. I mean, even up until 2025, Phil Robertson never had a cell phone. So he had somebody. No, I said he never had. Oh, he had Dan but somebody with him has had it. Yeah. And when he needed it, but he would have cut off all communication. Oh yeah. Oh, that's why I'm saying Phil Slicker and dog. Oh no. If Phil needed to get away, he would have said he would have sent Dan the butler away and he could have never been seen for four months. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he would have been Slicker than dog. Like, yeah. Oh yeah. Well, hey, look, dog would have to go in the woods. He ain't gonna find a dog. Had a pretty good gig. I mean, he ain't gonna find Phil Robertson in the woods. I'm telling you. Like, no, dog was a bounty hunter of people on an island. I'll give you an example. Where are you going?

That's the one I was going to talk about. Oh, you can't. Cut that New York strip up into cubes and how about you did and I was, it was, it was phenomenal. It's that tender. It's good. I love that try tells is a family business. It's a fifth generation family ranch and that same family is still responsible for every box of meat they ship to your family.

We think we hear the game. What y'all know? Look, man, him both. I read him both, you know, get under water and grab Boston, please, on top of our heads. Wait, what? No, I'm sure. How are you breathing through the balls? Hey, there was wisdom high school. I'm sure it's and look, hey, we stayed that way till like an hour and a half past dark. Hide him from the game board. Hide from the game board. And we're, hey, the only thing above water. Look, it's just where we breathe with our nose. The rest of the rest of his under water. We got muscles out of our head. And we stayed there. This isn't the worst time when it's cold. You and Phil. Me and Phil. Okay. And look, hey, we stayed that way. I think it gets dark at five, like five, 20. Yeah, ducks. In a one or two. Hey, we do not move until seven thirty. We sit there in the cold water. Time doubled. Well, I and a half. Okay. Back down to two hours. On top of our head. And then we got, they was there. They built, they built fires on both sides of the swamp. Hey, we walked 15 miles south. Cut back and then walk 15 miles back to the house. We got in like at four thirty a.m. We had like 30 ducks in a tow sack. Okay. So, hey, the next day we're down at the store buying some stuff for mama. And they, they in there and so I went, well, I said, y'all, did y'all sleep there last night? Well, we left to sit and sleep where they said down there on the grimes of y'all swamp. They said, we've been down there. And they said, your car still parked down there. I said, oh, we've done that like a week ago. We was picking pecans, you know, out of grimes is orchards. We'd pick a hundred pounds of pecans off his orchard and sell them. You were stealing pecans? Oh, yep. A bar. Oh, poaching. A bar. No, poaching. Hey, no, that's how it grows and it grows while it's free. Everybody. Yeah. Everybody. I like how you described it as an orchard and then called it growing while. Well, how it is, of course, growing while. My favorite part is Phil and Si only knew about property lines once they got property. Yeah, I was fixing that. Before they had property. That's when it become important. Yeah. When they were the ones with the property. Yeah. I just might say this. So Phil was very lenient on people that would poach on him. Unless it was a pig. Well, that's right. He does not lean in on pigs poaching on him. Oh, no, the animal. The animal. Yeah. Now, human beings. I think he had a soft spot for, you know, rednecks that like poaching. Oh, he did. You know, yeah. Wherever did he develop that from? Yeah, he saw a little bit of him and all of them. That's right. That's right. So I don't hate old him either. But he also, I'll tell you what about Phil by that time in his life, too, he saw it as a great time to share the gospel with him. Oh, oh, no, yeah. You were about to be a captive audience when they were scared out of their mind by that man walking up on you that you just got caught poaching. Yeah. That's a good time. They were going to be as open to anything you said as any moment of their life. All right. Running his hoot dance. They wasn't going to say, hey, sit down and sit down and I got a story to tell you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was going to use it. You was going to listen. Yeah. He was going to use it as an opportunity. 16 gauge. Okay. In his hand. Yeah. Or 22. Oh, he had some kind of weapon in his hand. Yeah. I hate. No, I wouldn't mess with them sands of weapons. Yeah. Phil Robertson ain't went anywhere half cocked. How do you tell that old boys that we can either have a Bible study or a gunfight? I'm ready for both. Yeah. I'm ready for either. And he was, he's a bit of an imposing figure either way. You ain't never have to worry about me. Oh, we, man. Y'all slept in a swamp underwater for two hours. I don't know how. Okay. Yeah. I don't believe some of those details, but I'm sure it happened. I ain't ever slept in the water, but buddy, I have reconvened with my buddies down the road because I thought we heard something like somebody coming. But I'll get out of there quick on you. No, you ain't going. Well, you would have been like feeling that kind of stuff. So just disappear. I've done it. I've done it. I've taken guns apart, thrown pieces in different areas. We'll get them out. We don't have some, you know, a sixth sense. About Warden. Oh, yeah. Gameboard. I'll tell you. That one with the round spectacles. That beat anything I ever saw. This old boy just didn't pick a truck with round spectacles on. Okay. That's him. Acting like he was fishing. But he'll say that when he, when he come by. Federal man. Boys, he's, we say what? Said, Gameboard. Federal man. Fed. You know, he said, that's federal man right there. He said, we said, what? He had a new man. Well, the next one, when he got in the blind, we kept seeing wood ducks get up, up in front of us in front of the blind. True story. All morning long. You know, finally he come out and said, Mr. Robertson, how do you get in that blind, duck blind? He'll say, this been in the back. You know, he said, well, how many of y'all killed? He said, you know exactly how many of them were killed. He'll say, you know. Been out there all morning. You know. He said, I knew you been there. I knew you was there. He said, how'd you know? He said, hey, you scared up woodies all the way from coming in. Oh, man. No, then when he said, hey, how did I get, yo, what's the easiest way to get out of here? It's such a shame boy, you come in. Well, you came. Well, you came. So he had us all trained on what to tell GW. Here's my gun. Here's my license. Here's my ducks. That's what all of us say. That's all you say. That's all you say. Yeah. He said, hey, you had a good morning? We just. Here's my gun. Here's my license. No, then he said it again. You say, hey, here's my shotgun. Here's my license. That's the air is one duck that I kill. OK. Yo. Hey, history's four shells. Oh, yeah. I said, don't give me any information. No, I can play poker. You don't know. You don't say nothing. No, that's funny. P.R. A legend. Oh, yeah. Well, well, where did the time go? Well, hey, out of here. You got a good verse for us. I do. Are you ready for this one's for Si? I think he's going to like this one. He goes along with his Roman. Give the Caesar what Caesar's incorrect. Correct. Of all the Bible verses that I'm kind of like, come on, man. Why'd you have to put that one in there, bro? Really? Are we sure? I think it's going to have something to do with power. It just might. Power Daniel 221. He changes times and seasons. He disposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. So I ain't nobody in power that God didn't put there. And if they ain't going to stay there, he going to get rid of them. There you go. He puts them in there and takes them out. Here it is. So that's all I got. There you go. That's a good one. There you go. All right, we'll see y'all next time. What's the opposite of greeting and salutations? Farewell. So long and farewell. We're out.
