Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Weekend of Hunting Season

[00:00-06:59]

• The group recaps the start of the hunting season, highlighting Si’s unique “travel ball Randy Savage” look due to borrowed sunglasses.
• Justin Martin discusses hunting with his twin sons ("not so much dove hunting as watching a dove hunt") and the challenges of keeping youngsters happy in the field—especially when he “had one major failure as a dad” by running out of snacks.
• “They had fun. I had one major failure as a dad. I did. We ran out of snacks.” — Justin Martin (01:48)
• Hilarious parenting moment: Justin’s son shouting “Shoot, Daddy, shoot!” at distant doves and not understanding why his hands got bloody while handling the birds.
  • “He said, ‘My hands all red.’ He didn’t really understand that that was from the dove.” — Justin Martin (04:19)
• The group jokes about kids’ roles as “retrievers” and reflects on how the focus shifts from hunting to enjoying the experience with family.
• Si recalls his impressive skeet shooting in Wisconsin: “You went 10 for 10 on the skeet shoot.” (05:19)

2. Hunting Stories & Snakes

[06:59-09:57]

• The crew shares stories of animal encounters, including an episode with a cottonmouth and Si’s twins learning what to do around wildlife.
• “At first it was shoot at everything, right? Egrets. Buzzards…if it was in the air, he thought that was a dove.” — Justin Martin (08:37)

3. Fan Letters: Halloween, Faith, and Parenting Decisions

[13:38-20:27]

• Amanda from Indiana asks about celebrating Halloween as Christians.
  • The group’s consensus: Halloween is what you make it—it can be a wholesome time for family and community, or something darker depending on intention.
  • “You can go into anything with great intentions and a good mindset…It doesn’t mean anything other than a one night dress up where you have a reason to be together as community.” — Justin Martin (14:36)
• The crew proposes funny Halloween costumes for Si and the twins (clown, T-Rex, one-eyed cowboy, Slinky Dog, Blues Brothers, Mario & Luigi, “Phil and Si”).
• Parenting around fears and scary costumes: Some kids just don’t like Halloween and that’s okay; the hosts adapt by focusing on fun not fear.

4. Discovering the Twins’ Greatest Fear: Spiders!

[20:27-23:10]

• On a Kawasaki ride, Justin’s son Jackson reacts with terror to a tiny spider: “His fists are just locked up…I thought: is this kid having a seizure?” (21:00)
  • The crew laughs about inherited and irrational fears, debating if fear is “in the DNA.”
  • “As soon as I knocked it off his leg, cricket! As soon as I knocked it off his leg, it was like an off switch.” — Justin Martin (22:29)

[30:08-38:39]

• Tyler from South Carolina asks: Who from the Duck Dynasty crew could handle “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test”?
  • The room votes: Stone (Jay Stone, due to military background), but some push for Jacob Mayo (“he always wins—he’s a gamer”), and others for Christian (“biceps the size of my head”).
  • “You're not going to catch me being as humble as I've ever been. It ain't me, buddy. Nor do I want to.” — Justin Martin (32:57)
• They humorously disqualify themselves, with Johnny D declaring he’d be out at the first sign of difficulty.

7. Life Lessons: “Don’t Ever Do That” Stories

[44:20-46:38]

  • “If you swing a baseball bat at a basketball, that baseball bat's coming back at your face.” — Si Robertson (44:30)
• The crew swaps warnings about dangerous childhood games and why some lessons hurt more than others.

8. Deep Relationship Advice

[49:47-57:39]

• “AK” from Wisconsin asks for relationship advice: After a year together (almost a year living together), she’s ready for marriage; he says “wife” but hasn’t proposed.

  • Phillip emphasizes following God’s intended order for lasting relationships: “Do it under the umbrella of marriage.” (53:01)

Transcript

[Si Robertson]

Foreign. Welcome back to the duck call room. Ladies and gentlemen. We are back in here. The best time of year is around opening weekend of hunting season was this weekend. And I saw sigh. What did you have on your face by the way? Like what? What?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Jay Stone got him in some sunglasses.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. What was that?

[Martin Robertson]

He looked like.

[Si Robertson]

Was that look.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I look like a travel ball.

[Martin Robertson]

We were. We went dove hunting.

[Si Robertson]

He looked like Randy Savage. The Bad years.

[Martin Robertson]

And when they was doing the safety briefing, he said, is everybody got your shooting glasses?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

And I said, no, I don't. I need a pair of Jason. I got. I got covered.

[Si Robertson]

And that's all he could come up with.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, hey, I was good.

[Phillip Robertson]

Where did he find them?

[Martin Robertson]

He had them in his truck.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Those are stones.

[Martin Robertson]

Stone always comes prepared. Okay. That's his motto. Be prepared.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

That's Scar's motto from the Lion King.

[Martin Robertson]

No, no, but hey looked out for him. Hey, the guy was right because you got hit by pellets when you got so si.

[Phillip Robertson]

Did you do any good?

[Martin Robertson]

I didn't do much. Cause we was in the wrong spot. I think I ended up killing seven. Stone killed 11. I think so. We did get a limit.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Did you eat them?

[Martin Robertson]

No, not yet.

[Si Robertson]

They gone.

[Martin Robertson]

Found out about them and Willie ate them.

[Phillip Robertson]

Probably that does happen.

[Martin Robertson]

But hey, look, I. I'll get some. We'll go back.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, it ain't no problem.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Martin, you went dove hunting with 22 year olds?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I wouldn't call what we did dove hunting, but we went and watched a dove hunt.

[Martin Robertson]

But did they have fun?

[Phillip Robertson]

I bet they had a blast.

[Martin Robertson]

They had fun.

[Si Robertson]

They had fun. I had one major failure as a dad. I did. We ran out of snacks. Yeah, man.

[Phillip Robertson]

What happens?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Well, that doesn't happen.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, it happened. It did happen because I forgot to transfer from their bag to my bucket because I had already prepared the bucket with one thing of snacks. And so I just didn't think about like, I mean, one for each of them. And I never thought to go back into their actual bag and grab more. I was just like, oh yeah, I got everything. And then, buddy, they ate those on the ride out there.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And then once we got there, they were cool for about 20 minutes. And then it was, I'm hungry, I'm tired, they're growing. But I will say it's a different perspective when you're almost three year old yells at you, shoot, daddy, shoot.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And I said, son, he is a little far. Yeah, I don't care. Shoot.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Come on, man.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah, make some noise.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Get your made up.

[Phillip Robertson]

He needs to go hunt with me. Cause I shoot him way out there.

[Si Robertson]

Well, buddy, this dove, the first dove I shot at with them watching was no less than 100 yards from me.

[Martin Robertson]

Did you kill him?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

No, I would have.

[Martin Robertson]

I was just fixing to say I killed one. Being stone. I think we doubled on it, but it was about 75.

[Si Robertson]

Well, this one was a Hondo for my first shot since last January. So to say that I didn't even. I don't even think the dove knew I shot at him.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

He didn't even scare me.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he just. He stayed flying the same path.

[Martin Robertson]

He was a bad day for two reasons. We was in the wrong spot. And then also there was about a 12 mile an hour wind.

[Si Robertson]

It was a good win. It was like. And hey, most comfortable day of dove.

[Martin Robertson]

Because it was not that he said this is best day as far as heat.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

Nice day is diet because usually you're just burning up.

[Si Robertson]

What's meant. They could stay out there a little bit longer. So we stayed maybe an hour and a half, like, which is a long time for kids with no snacks and you know, out there in just a bald open. So I could have killed a few doves, but every one of them come like from right behind them. And I was not there going to shoot over their head.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

That's wisdom.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Even with. Even with protection on and stuff, I just wasn't going to do it. I mean it's not worth add of to do that kind of stuff. But they have fun. So the, the folks around us killed some. So they were the little retrievers. And by retrievers I mean they just kind of went and petted them, you know. Yeah, they. They Wayland's favorite. Oh, so soft.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

It's a dove.

[Si Robertson]

He doesn't quite understand the concept of blood yet. Because when he would hand it to me, he would look. He said my hands all red. He didn't really understand that that was from the dove.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Hey, gum.

[Si Robertson]

And he said, can you wipe red off? Yeah. So it was fun though. Taught him about picking up shell holes. We picked up all our trash. We picked up other people's trash. And we just, you know, we had kind of a little scavenger hunt and had fun. We. We didn't bring home a dove. And I wasn't even mad about it. So. No, it was fun, man. It's. But that's what you got to do when you take them. I don't figure it out. Don't worry about the hunt. Like the hunt. The last thing you want to do Is hunt. Yeah, it's just watch them do the thing.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, I like it. Shoot, Daddy.

[Si Robertson]

It is a new level of pressure that I didn't know was going to be unlocked, so.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah, well, they're looking at you.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, they're going to be watching, so. Yeah. Dad's going to have to go one time without them. Get a little bit dialed in.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And then I'll go back with them.

[Phillip Robertson]

I will say you were dialed in last year when we went to Wisconsin and you went 10 for 10 on the skeet shoot.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, well.

[Phillip Robertson]

And we've got that on video.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, you impressed. You impressed everybody there.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, did.

[Phillip Robertson]

Hey, they.

[Martin Robertson]

Martin, I think it was you and one other person that. That actually.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah, that ran.

[Phillip Robertson]

Was it me?

[Si Robertson]

No, it was not one.

[Martin Robertson]

You. You were out off and it wasn't me either.

[Phillip Robertson]

Hey, but I did go dove hunting in Texas because they opened up on the first.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

How'd you do with our boys from Oklahoma? And we went over to Rooster McConaughey's place and we limited out three days in a row. Everybody there. It was really good.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I saw a bunch of doves. I was in Texas. I woke up in Austin, Texas this morning. So, uh, I filmed a commercial all day yesterday for my friends over at Academy Sports, which when y' all see that, I can't talk about it, but just be looking forward around Christmas time because felt funny. I'll give it that.

[Phillip Robertson]

Martin's dressed up.

[Si Robertson]

I guess I like, I was not. I was just in hunting attire. But what we do, it felt funny while we were doing it. So I don't most those things, when they feel that way while you're shooting them, they're generally pretty good because most times shooting that stuff, you're kind of halfway miserable.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And then by the time they edit it, I'm just saying, by the time they edit it, then it comes out funny. Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

Like the commercial sign they made that when they said keeps us longer.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Wildly strong, wildly stronger.

[Si Robertson]

Well, yeti come a long way since ice longer.

[Martin Robertson]

Really? Grizzly bear strong.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Grizzly bear proof. Yeah. We had all the things, but no, it was fun. So be looking around Christmas time and you'll. You'll see it.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I didn't have. I didn't go dove hunting.

[Si Robertson]

You didn't? Oh, you work.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

But I ordered Wingstop.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, okay.

[Phillip Robertson]

Hey, that's just as good. Well, hey, you're eating something.

[Si Robertson]

There's a solid nothing. There's a solid chance we ate the same foul for dinner that night. I bought a Hunting license to do this.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah, I did have wings.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, man. But it's fun, man. The boys are having fun. They're learning all the things. So it's. Yeah, it's fun.

[Martin Robertson]

No, it's like you remind me when you said, you know, he said shoot. That is. It was Stone was talking about. He was down at Fields and a big cottonmouth was out in the yard. Shoot the dog. No, the dog. The dog would look at Stone, look at snake. Look at Stone, look at snake. Tell me, are you gonna shoot him or what? You got that gun. Shoot him.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, kill him now.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah. Well, I can grab him. As soon as Tom blew his head off, old Bobo grabbed, you know, Bow, Bow.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yo, that was old Bobo.

[Si Robertson]

Who knows?

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

It's a wild.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Oh, man. But look, hunting season is here. And that's the fun part. But look, this hunting season, while you're out there with your kids, your family, your friends, make sure you check out ducksnap.com. get the all new digital duck stamp, and that way you stay legal with everybody. All your boxes are checked, everything's good to go, and you don't have to worry about keeping up with.

[Martin Robertson]

Yep. And you don't get fined about 500.

[Si Robertson]

The. But the fun part was like, watch Waylon put it all together while we were doing. He finally figured out what a dove was by the time we were gone. So he'd be like, there goes a dove. And I'm like, okay, now we're gentle.

[Martin Robertson]

5.

[Si Robertson]

Because at first it was shoot at everything, right? Egrets. Well, buzzards.

[Phillip Robertson]

That sounds like.

[Martin Robertson]

No, no.

[Si Robertson]

Because, hey, if it was in the air, he thought that was a dove.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Check it on the ground.

[Si Robertson]

We were here to get him.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, I got a little irritated. They wouldn'. Fly over me. So I said, well. And Stone tell him, said, hey, he's putting out death rays and they ain't gonna come come to us.

[Si Robertson]

They saw them glasses.

[Martin Robertson]

So I said, I had a bunch of blackbirds come over and I said, don't do it. Don't do it. You know, they. They was.

[Si Robertson]

They did it.

[Martin Robertson]

So I missed the first one. Oh, yeah. And that made me mad. So another group come over and I said, don't do it, don't do it. And I said, I'm gonna lead this by five yards more. Boom.

[Si Robertson]

He just got him. Old red wing blackbird.

[Martin Robertson]

And one of the guys said, he said, why'd you do that? I said, just to see if I could. I could still do it. And I said, I Got it.

[Phillip Robertson]

He done got blackbird hungry.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Next year, them boys had BB gun out that.

[Martin Robertson]

Oh, no, we have one on in our field.

[Si Robertson]

A kid with a BB gun.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah. And he come up and he said. He said. I said, what's that? And he said, his dad said that's the first of his kill with the baby girl. I'm talking about boy.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

No, that's pretty good.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, it. No, but it's dove. It's like. I don't know. There's something special about it, man. That's what I'm trying to. To get to them like the boys to see. There's just something special about. Opening day of Dove season, we had.

[Martin Robertson]

About four that was all 14, 15 maybe. And all someone you didn't have to tell them to shoot. It was three times.

[Si Robertson]

Every time one come by, I was listening to Waylon. I was sitting there calculating my future shell bill. I was like, oh, man, shoot a shit.

[Martin Robertson]

Gon need more bullets. You're going to have to shoot to keep him occupied.

[Si Robertson]

[Martin Robertson]

I think pretty cool when somebody asked, hey, what'd you get your wife for anniversary?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. And you can say camouflage.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I can't say that.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I mean I could say it but it just wouldn't go over very.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

It would just get returned very swiftly.

[Phillip Robertson]

No, I couldn't get away with that.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Not even close.

[Si Robertson]

Oh man. But we ain't really dove into the emails in a hot minute and the voicemail. So we're going to, we're going to spend a little time with you, the fans on, on this episode and I don't know who wants to go first, Johnny D or Hunter or Hunter.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

There's no way Hunter's ready. Do you think he's ready?

[Martin Robertson]

I think I would wager that he's over chomping.

[Si Robertson]

He's always ready, set go from Yalls and I don't care who goes first.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Hey, Uncle Sigh, this is Amanda here.

[Si Robertson]

From Newburgh, Indiana calling in with a question.

[Phillip Robertson]

I would love for you guys to talk about Halloween.

[Si Robertson]

I love Halloween. I love all the candy and the.

[Phillip Robertson]

Tricks and dressing up.

[Si Robertson]

But as a Christian, it feels kind of funky because of what other people celebrate it for. So I'd love to hear your guys's input. I thank you.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And by the way, you said make it funny.

[Si Robertson]

Why do ducks ask others pause it to cover their butt? Quack.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I think he got it. He nailed it. I don't think you're gonna hide their butt.

[Si Robertson]

Facts.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Have a good day, guys.

[Si Robertson]

Ah, got it.

[Martin Robertson]

He got more.

[Si Robertson]

I think anything but I think she answered her own question in her question because she said what other people celebrate it for? I think you can go into anything with great intentions and a good mindset where you're, you're all dressing up as a family and friends and having a great time and laughing and it doesn't mean anything other than a one night dress up where you have a reason to be together as community. Or you can look at it from a purely what they say, the origins perspective and celebrate that. And then I think either way it's just what you make it about. Right? Like is it a night to have fun with your family or are you, you know. And a bunch of pagan things though.

[Martin Robertson]

Is the variety of costumes. Well, I'm just saying everybody has their own view of what this is for.

[Si Robertson]

Have you ever been sexy made?

[Martin Robertson]

What?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Did not see that coming.

[Phillip Robertson]

Are you ever dressed up for Halloween?

[Si Robertson]

No, he's more of an Easter kind of fella.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I was about to say he likes to be big, but I'm not a Halloween guy.

[Phillip Robertson]

Big bunnies?

[Martin Robertson]

No. People have seen 6 foot tall pink.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Rabbits like a deranged Easter bunny from the Christmas story.

[Martin Robertson]

But I'm just saying that's the uniqueness of the human race. I'm glad we're not all look alikes.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And on Halloween we really are. What are you going to be for Halloween?

[Martin Robertson]

You can carry it to the extremes one way or the other. Best thing Mark said was, hey, you make it what you want it for the night with family and friends to have a good time and to, to have a fellowship between each other.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, I've been places now that are handing out little bibles for kids. You know, I've personally handed out duck calls for kids.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

You did do that one year?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I had a bunch of them left over from an event that they had already purchased and. But they were like, keep them, do something with them. So I gave them out.

[Martin Robertson]

Went over well too.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, everybody was sad when I run out.

[Phillip Robertson]

Have you ever had any trick or.

[Martin Robertson]

Treaters come to you the time? No, we did when we was in the military because it was a big thing on base, you know, and the costume was the biggest part. And we. Y', all the people that done all the candy and all that, they. They was big time into costumes.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. So if you were, you know, let's have some fun. If you were going to celebrate that night or if you were going to trunk or treat at the church.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah. That's what you used to do.

[Si Robertson]

What is Cy Robertson gonna dress up as in 2025?

[Martin Robertson]

Well, I would, you know, I'm just curious. Whatever. Whatever anybody would want me to dress up.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

That's actually the most truthful answer he's ever heard.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, sigh. Wear this. And he.

[Martin Robertson]

Cause when it comes to kids.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

Okay.

[Si Robertson]

Yo, that's fact.

[Martin Robertson]

There is. No. No, I won't do that.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Sai. Will you be a clown?

[Si Robertson]

Yes. Yes.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Will you be a T. Rex?

[Martin Robertson]

Yes.

[Phillip Robertson]

I actually got.

[Si Robertson]

Will you dress up like a one eyed cowboy?

[Martin Robertson]

Yes.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

He's in.

[Martin Robertson]

Whatever.

[Si Robertson]

Will you put a horse costume over your skin?

[Phillip Robertson]

So I got him a uniform. An inmate uniform from the pea farm. A real one?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

With the stripes on it. They don't use. I mean, these are ones that they don't use anymore, you know.

[Si Robertson]

Oh. So they've been worn a lot.

[Phillip Robertson]

They've been worn a lot. But I watched it inside. And then I want you to put a bandana on and get one of those sticks things you pick the trash up with. And let's go. Let's go around to different parks and see if anybody recognizes you.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, do a little social experiment.

[Phillip Robertson]

Social experiment.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

You actually got that?

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah, I do have that.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I said, do you actually got that? What was.

[Martin Robertson]

I got it.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Weird English. Got it.

[Phillip Robertson]

But we. Well, we didn't. Look, one of my kids does not like Halloween at all. It's too scary. It's. It's. You know, we don't do the scary stuff. No, that's Blake now. Bryson and Amber, they're fine with it. They went to all the Halloween parties and with their friends. And Blake's like, I'm out. I'm with it.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

There's no scary stuff. You want to be a Ninja Turtle? We're in.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

You want to be Skeletor with blood all coming down your face?

[Phillip Robertson]

Oh, he ain't enough for that hard pass.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

That's where, like, there's just things I'm like.

[Phillip Robertson]

But like fall festivals, we would go to those. And when you got young kids, it's a lot of fun. And it should be fun and not super scary scary, you know?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. That's why. I mean, we're always home by dark, right? Like with the boys, I mean, they. I don't still know that they know what a street light looks like.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

A couple years ago, we were in the neighborhood and you know, there's one street with a gate and stuff where.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, well, y' all got a good.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Neighborhood, a certain family lives and we're all. There's people everywhere. And all of a sudden I heard this one kid go, hey, that gate's open. Let's go get some of the Duck Dynasty candy. I bet they got the big bleep candy. And I got to laughing. Hey, kid, don't cuss. But he made me laugh really hard because he was like, I bet they give. I bet Willie Robertson gives out full size snicker bars. He was probably disappointed.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

But yeah, still thought it was worth a shot.

[Si Robertson]

That was probably. Well, you. You would have probably been the one to get the candy. So what were they giving? I didn't.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Well, we do it kind of different. We take the golf cart and just go to people we can trust house and get that candy. And then.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, that's why all the churches started doing church.

[Phillip Robertson]

Trunk or treat.

[Martin Robertson]

Halloween.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

That's a great thing. Go to one of those.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, yeah. The. You got to. When you're saying scary. I forgot we were riding in the. As the boys got Kawasaki the other day. Now they've tried. Now they try to say it super fast. For some reason I don't understand.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

It's fun. But you say it. Wait, say it normal. Now say it super fast.

[Si Robertson]

I was hockey.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

How much more fun was that?

[Si Robertson]

I know, but not to encourage it. And this segment isn't brought to you by Kawasaki, by the way it is now. But it can bleep all that out if it can be. Holler at it. The. But I look over and Jackson just starts this blood curdling scream. And his fists are just locked up. And I'm like, what is going on with this kid? Like, we're just. We're cruising, man. We're just riding. And I can't figure it out until I finally see a little tiny spider is on his leg.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Oh, no.

[Si Robertson]

And my man just. I mean, just locked up. I thought I was like, is this kid having a seizure? What is going on? I'm.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I'm never screaming.

[Si Robertson]

He had his hands and I mean, those fit. You couldn't have pried his fingers apart.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Good for him.

[Si Robertson]

But I'm.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I did the same thing just the.

[Si Robertson]

Other day, but I'm just trying to figure out how do you. Where's your fear of spiders come from? Like, we're not. Look at it, but I mean, we're.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Not eight legs in a billion.

[Si Robertson]

He hasn't seen. He hasn't seen fear out of mom and dad to now. Brittany is definitely not a fan of them. I mean, I will say that. So maybe there's a genetic component to fear. I'm not sure. But I have never. I didn't know it was the funniest. I wish. I mean, you know, you're terrified because it's your kid, and I'm trying to figure out what it is. But once I figured it out, I couldn't stop laughing.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I mean, spiders are scary.

[Si Robertson]

This thing was this big.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I don't care. That's even scarier. You can't see it coming.

[Phillip Robertson]

It's the fear of the unknown. Yes. Like, what could it.

[Martin Robertson]

Maybe in the DNA?

[Si Robertson]

I mean.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah, I would say it's in the DNA.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I would rather fight a giant spider than a tiny spider.

[Si Robertson]

Well, but then you know what that led to, right? Then Wayland starts because he don't know why brother is mad, but. But it's got to be something. And I need to be mad about it too.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah, something terrible.

[Si Robertson]

Like. But I mean, really, I thought, is the seat on fire? I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Like, but how would they get in here? We're going 10 miles an hour. Like, I just couldn't figure it out. And his reaction to it was.

[Phillip Robertson]

So once you figured it out, I.

[Si Robertson]

Just wiped it off his leg. And it was like an off switch. As soon as I knocked it off his leg. Cricket.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I would have done the same thing, is all I'm saying.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, I just don't.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I want a spider touching me.

[Phillip Robertson]

Like, I can jump around spiders. I can jump away. Like, whoa, whoa.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

What if it's a jumping spider?

[Phillip Robertson]

You can also jump in the other way.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And you don't know what spider you're looking at. It's best to just scream.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah, just scream and rest.

[Si Robertson]

To just scream.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Lock up and then just get out of there.

[Martin Robertson]

You're welcome everyone. That's like me and snakes like squirrel.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

Sit down on a log and too many shotguns. Can't hear real good but I hear something and then when I look sat beside me I've done sat down by a king snake.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Did you Freeze up.

[Martin Robertson]

Oh, I jumped up a king.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

No, no, no. There's no time to identify snake. You scream, you run, and then you identify.

[Si Robertson]

Then you turn around and check it out. I just. I don't know. It was the wildest thing. I just have never seen that.

[Martin Robertson]

Now that. That's. That's from mom.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Martin Robertson]

I would say it's DNA.

[Si Robertson]

It was. It's scary just because I just were.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Born with a chick.

[Phillip Robertson]

You can talk it through that, but that's what.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, and that's what I try to do with them, even with snakes. Like when we see them is just show them like they're okay.

[Martin Robertson]

This one's bad.

[Si Robertson]

This one. I mean, but just leave them alone right now. Just. You can look at them. Just leave them alone and nothing's going to happen.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

You know how I make my kids handle their fear of bugs?

[Si Robertson]

What?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Well, I don't admit that I'm also afraid, so I make them get rid of it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

That way they learn.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And then I never have to face that fear myself.

[Si Robertson]

Like that night I was at your house and that gecko got in. And you, you. You were gone.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I hate these things, man. They're gross. They lose their tail. They're crapping in your house, you know they're crapping.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah, but you could say 15%.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I hate them. Thanks. I ain't never using them because I don't like the. My house is still infested people.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, he got a bunch. He does have a conglomeration of geckos.

[Martin Robertson]

No, no.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I feel like the pharaoh and I've got some. Some Israelites held up and God's pissed at me and he has sent the plague of geckos on my home.

[Phillip Robertson]

Well, you got woods and water right by your house.

[Si Robertson]

And they are right by the door that gets the most traffic. I mean, I opened that door and that fast sucker was in there before I knew what it's every night. I was like, I don't even go.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

In my own house. Some days I just sit there till they all leave.

[Phillip Robertson]

I bet you can turn the light on and they're all over the walls outside.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Oh, yeah. I'll get you a video probably tonight. It's insane. I hate it. I'm thinking about burning it down.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, well, that was 10 minutes on ACT.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Hold on. But what are your kids being for Halloween? Because I've always wanted twins.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, I don't know.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

For one night only, Halloween.

[Si Robertson]

So you're welcome to dress them however you want to. I mean, I'll bring them to you if you want to borrow them for that night.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first. I would just please put in the comments. The best 2 year old twin outfit for Halloween.

[Si Robertson]

Well, the one that I've seen online that I personally would like to see them do. I don't think they're there yet though. But maybe next year is Slinky Dog. But then one of them has to be the butt, right?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Like I tried one to do that. They won't do it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I just think it'd be funny. But then one of them is going to ask, well, how do I end up the butt? Right. But, well, just depends, you know, so.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

But Slinky Dog's a good one.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, you can do it like.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

A bowling ball and a pin.

[Si Robertson]

But I think any twin deal you do, it's going to be tough. Right?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Wow. It makes it easier.

[Phillip Robertson]

How about the Blues Brothers?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Just a dynamic little Men in Black. That'd be hilarious.

[Si Robertson]

And little black suits.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And next time you go to a wedding, you're set.

[Phillip Robertson]

Dumb and Dumber. That's always good in there. In there.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Always a good one.

[Phillip Robertson]

They got the tuxes on.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Any duo is possible.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I know. But then there's always the one. The one. Huh? Domino's.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

The pizza place?

[Si Robertson]

No, like an actual domino. Oh. You assume they like each other that much, I'm gonna need a little separation of church and state between them during the last. I'm trying to look for a picture.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Of when my mom did that to.

[Si Robertson]

Me and my sister. Oh, you were? Yeah. You are a twin. What did you dress up as?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

A Domino Hunter was into the scary side of Halloween for sure.

[Phillip Robertson]

I think. I think they would be cool as Phil and Psy.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, God.

[Phillip Robertson]

You know, with the beards and one of them.

[Si Robertson]

I see. One of them's gonna be mad they're not Psy.

[Phillip Robertson]

That's true.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

As long as you do feel inside. As long as it's not Willie inside, one of them won't be.

[Phillip Robertson]

Or you could do Willie inside and have them handcuffed together.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Oh, they'll hit each other for that.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

Oh, they won't like.

[Si Robertson]

But like if you did Mario and Luigi, one of them is going to be mad they're Mario or not mad they're Mario. One of them's gonna be upset there.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

The taller one gets to be Luigi.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Shorter, stumpier one gets to be Mario. Ask Carter and Ben's.

[Si Robertson]

They've done it.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

They've done it. Hey, what's the phone number by the way.

[Si Robertson]

318-21-56559.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

We're all looking at each other if that is right, people, because that was a great question.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, thank you.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I liked that question. We should do another.

[Si Robertson]

Do another one. Hunter, you got another voicemail.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

No, he doesn't.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I had a few. I've got.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I've got a lot that I've even since June.

[Si Robertson]

That's fine.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

We got, you know, life coach throws curveballs, man.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

The best plans sometimes are waited on.

[Si Robertson]

Johnny D, what do you have?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Oh, man. Hey, we did just cross a milestone.

[Si Robertson]

Okay.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

We have now received 25, 000 emails@hello duck call room.com.

[Martin Robertson]

Wow.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Remember when I said I've read all of them?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, you were.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

That's no longer true. We're bumping around 24, 000 that I have read though. How deep do we want to go here?

[Si Robertson]

I'd say stay in the shallow end until we get.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Let's go shallow. Tyler listener from South Carolina, longtime listener, first time caller. Listen, he had this thought the other day. Wondered if we had an answer. Have you seen the TV show Special Forces? World's toughest test?

[Si Robertson]

No.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

They threw like Cam Newton on it. They're hanging off of helicopters. It's wild. They're basically doing, you know, the test.

[Si Robertson]

Well, if the next question is, could we do it? If Cam Newton couldn't do it, I'm out.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

So, hey, I think Cam actually did complete it, even with a silly hat.

[Phillip Robertson]

He.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

He wondered who would be the best person from Duck Dynasty to compete on the show and would we make it J.

[Phillip Robertson]

Stone.

[Si Robertson]

I'm going to give the nod to Jace Robertson on that one. Kind of. Wow.

[Phillip Robertson]

What about Christian?

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah. Well. Well, in that case. I've seen the competition. I'm going to vote Jacob Mayo because he seems to always win.

[Martin Robertson]

I was just fixing.

[Phillip Robertson]

I mean, Mayo.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Mayo. Mayo's weird.

[Si Robertson]

Really? He's a game.

[Martin Robertson]

Stone.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Mayo.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I'm going with Christian.

[Phillip Robertson]

I'll take Stone.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I'm going with Christian.

[Martin Robertson]

I'm going to go with Stone.

[Phillip Robertson]

I'm going with Stone.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

If you are hanging off a helicopter for your life, Christian just can do that for the next three days.

[Phillip Robertson]

Stones a two to one favorite?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

No.

[Phillip Robertson]

Oh, yeah. Overall, both of them boys. Because you know why? He's been in the military. He's got the mindset if he wants to do it, he could do.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I've never seen the show, to be fair. So if like this is more than.

[Martin Robertson]

Push, probably they are doing things.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I don't know Exactly. What.

[Martin Robertson]

What did you say that you said?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I saw him hanging off a helicopter one time. That's all I got.

[Si Robertson]

But mine, my vote of mayo is just.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Oh, my goodness, they got this girl underwater. Okay.

[Si Robertson]

He's a gamer. Is the only that does make a thing about Jacob. He is a gamer.

[Phillip Robertson]

Somebody that's scrappy and a gamer.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, they're gonna.

[Phillip Robertson]

They're gonna. They can do.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

They got them jumping from like boat to boat in the ocean.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, see, that's the kind of crap.

[Martin Robertson]

Well they're doing the field training. Op. Special op training.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah, that's what they're doing.

[Martin Robertson]

That's what they're doing.

[Si Robertson]

What was his name? Austin. Was that right?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Tyler.

[Si Robertson]

Tyler. I don't know. Was he from Austin?

[Phillip Robertson]

You've been in Austin?

[Si Robertson]

You just throwing out. They're both cities in Texas. Oh, Fort Worth.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

From South Carolina.

[Si Robertson]

South Carolina. I don't know. Here's what I'm certain of.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

None of us.

[Si Robertson]

It isn't me.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Nobody in this room right now.

[Martin Robertson]

I'm out.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, you're not going to. You're going to catch me being as humble as I've ever been. It ain't me, buddy. Nor do I want to.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Unless the world's toughest test is like jump roping for 10 minutes. Even if it's 11, I'm out.

[Si Robertson]

You know what I'm not going to do? Jump from one perfectly good boat to another good boat. I'm going to stay in the one that's good.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Sir. Those boats are way too small for the ocean. I ain't even getting on the boat.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I mean, no, thank you. Like, I don't.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Although I would go on Survivor. I wouldn't do this.

[Phillip Robertson]

I would love to watch that Survivor. That's my favorite show. But I'd love to see Johnny D on it.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I would.

[Si Robertson]

Johnny.

[Phillip Robertson]

Send it in. Johnny.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Dad, I got too much going on.

[Si Robertson]

What'd you do?

[Phillip Robertson]

You know Willie, you know Willie tried to get on Survivor?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah, Yeah, I would. I would go on Survivor, but I would.

[Si Robertson]

But not naked in a frame.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Well, maybe. Depends.

[Si Robertson]

What about alone? Do that one.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Have you met me? The worst three months of my life or whatever. My roommate moved out and I had to wait to marry Alice. And I was so bored.

[Phillip Robertson]

His bidet was down for a week and he was calling me, hey, you know, a plumber. I gotta get it fixed.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I was just looking at my dog like, what are we supposed to do? There's no one to talk to. No, I wouldn't make it alone. That's Why? I want to be on Survivor. I just lie to people, do some stuff, stab them in the back like a Tuesday.

[Phillip Robertson]

All that honeyhole.

[Si Robertson]

There you go.

[Martin Robertson]

Yo, that's, that's, that's. You know, you gotta have a special attitude to try that.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I got a special attitude of quitting.

[Phillip Robertson]

Sigh. You're too honest to be on Survivor.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, no, no, I'm just saying. Okay, it's, it's, that's, that's all a mental thing.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah. What game show would you go on?

[Si Robertson]

Sigh.

[Martin Robertson]

I wasn't going on none of nothing of that.

[Phillip Robertson]

The Price is Right.

[Si Robertson]

There you go.

[Martin Robertson]

That he would.

[Si Robertson]

Or what's the one with the whammies? Oh, yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I know a guy that won a hundred grand on me.

[Si Robertson]

Really?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

[Phillip Robertson]

I did not really think.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, hey, Jason is too, though. That's why when you said Jason, Jace would give you a run for Jason would win alone.

[Si Robertson]

Well, Jace, I wasn't thinking about Revival Duck Dynasty. Yeah, I was. I just went to straight, like, OG Duck Dynasty. And that's why I said Jace, because out of all of us, Jace is the gamer.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Like, hey would win.

[Si Robertson]

He's not gonna quit.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah, he was not.

[Si Robertson]

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

With the age and his biceps are the size of my head.

[Phillip Robertson]

I remember watching An Officer and a Gentleman when I was young.

[Si Robertson]

They throw me in that water and.

[Phillip Robertson]

And I'm telling you, the training that they went through in that show was just like, whoa.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I'm just dumb enough to think I could do it and hurt myself real bad within the first 30 seconds.

[Phillip Robertson]

Oh, yeah, you'll be ringing the bell.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah, quickly. But it's because I'll be hurt.

[Phillip Robertson]

I'd wait till they.

[Si Robertson]

I don't even know that I'd get the opportunity to ring the bell. I think the ambulance sirens would get there before I got to go touch the bell. They'd be cart. They'd be carting me out. Now, somebody may stop and ring it as we're walking by, but I don't know. I don't believe that I'd be in.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

What if you had size Reach up and get.

[Martin Robertson]

What gets me about that. Okay. And it showed. And I don't want no movie was. But anyway, you know, he just. They had been in the water. Out of the water, in the water, out of the water. It's cold.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Oh, I don't wanna.

[Martin Robertson]

Out, in, out. And the. The time they're not in the water, they're doing the telephone pole thing.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

The cold changes everything.

[Martin Robertson]

Okay. So hey, they do it. And look, he went through all of it. Okay. This is hell week. That's what they call it. Okay, I'm going, y'.

[Si Robertson]

All.

[Martin Robertson]

They come out of the water and. And then the guy, he just. He looked. And he starts stumbling toward the bail. Soon as he. He rang the bell, the guy was over and he said, you just waited.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I remember that was. This was all of it, the sniper movie.

[Martin Robertson]

And I look, you were done. I say, God, he put up with it for all that time. And then just.

[Phillip Robertson]

So do you remember the sniper, Chris Kyle? Remember his wife and son were at the event that we went through. They're going to be at in Wisconsin when we're there.

[Si Robertson]

Who's that? Taya.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yes. Oh, and her son and daughter.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

Okay, so you get to see and talk to her again. But. But Chris went through all this in the movie. You could see him going through all those things that you're talking about. You just got to be super strong physically and mentally.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, I just. It may have. It may Have I may have could have done it but I doubt it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

I just don't think I've got that in me.

[Phillip Robertson]

I don't either.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I'm going to stop you right there on me.

[Martin Robertson]

I ain't got well no no I football.

[Si Robertson]

Like I mean I threw up running gassers playing high school football. I knew that that wasn't for you.

[Martin Robertson]

Don'T know because hey when it happens, okay you have one or two choices. Give up and die.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

Or do what you got to do. Well maybe. Maybe I got more about living than I. You know that I know I've got Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

When it comes to fight or flight I don't really know which one I am because I'm generally not there when it comes to that.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I've already got.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I've already left.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

That's called pre flight and that's what.

[Si Robertson]

I don't know what Jackson's response technically would be classified as the other day he Is there another one? Is there a thermal fight flight or pause.

[Phillip Robertson]

That was.

[Martin Robertson]

That came from mom and his in his DNA.

[Si Robertson]

I'm a. I'm. I'm more of a fighter because I don't want to die out of breath, you know. Yeah. From running.

[Phillip Robertson]

Didn't you get in a fight with a. An ostrich one time?

[Si Robertson]

No. Well that one I def. I didn't flight but I crawled back into my truck. I didn't want to fight him. He was big.

[Phillip Robertson]

I thought y' all did fight ostriches.

[Si Robertson]

Are not I'm very analytical too. I can. I can look at the risk and say it ain't worth it it no.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Do not trifle with if you can.

[Si Robertson]

Lay an egg that big, you don't.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Want to mess with them.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. And that footprint.

[Martin Robertson]

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I took the Boys to Waffle House. This morning it was kind of cold. I put the heat on in my truck, and on the way here, I was like, why is it so hot?

[Si Robertson]

Forgot it.

[Martin Robertson]

Forgot.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

You got to switch that back to the ac.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah, it couldn't been the worst. As s turned the heater on his butt for seven hours.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I had to smell.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, hi, Hunter. Hey there, Duck call room. This is Dalton Worley. I'm actually a public affairs officer of the 101st Airborne Division, so I wanted to give a shout out sigh on that. But I also just listened to the episode where he talked about things you shouldn't do. And I can confirm basketball plus baseball bat does equal some head injury. He's got a nice little scar over my eye to prove it. Anytime, uncle silence. Come out to Fort Campbell. See what I can do. Yeah, and I'll say where I'm from. I'm from just north of Nashville, Tennessee. Well, thank you for your service. First and foremost.

[Martin Robertson]

That's the first thing.

[Si Robertson]

And yeah, I think all kids. I mean, don't all kids have a baseball bat basketball story where mine's a.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Basketball rollerblade story, but yeah, we all got one.

[Si Robertson]

But. Oh, yeah, you swing a baseball bat at a basketball, that baseball bat's coming back at your face.

[Martin Robertson]

It sucks to hit you.

[Si Robertson]

Leak.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah, it's gonna hit you.

[Si Robertson]

It is.

[Phillip Robertson]

And don't hit it. Don't use your golf club and hit a metal pole because it'll come right back at you.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

All right, the basketball.

[Si Robertson]

I don't even think that one needs to be explained.

[Phillip Robertson]

No, no, no, no. I have seen it firsthand.

[Si Robertson]

Did you do it?

[Phillip Robertson]

No, but I was there. I was there with. With the adolescent who did it.

[Si Robertson]

Were they mad?

[Phillip Robertson]

And.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Please, no, no.

[Phillip Robertson]

They were just swinging. Hit the pole, the. The club wraps around and comes right back at him. Breaks in half all the way through the arm. Now we're at the ER. I mean, it's like the club is through the arm. Don't ever do that. True story.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Well, duh.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I mean, I've just never looked at a metal pole and said, you know what? I want to hit that with golf club, with anything. Well, I don't want to hit a metal pole. Not in my truck.

[Martin Robertson]

Bad.

[Si Robertson]

My fifth.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

We got a lot of don't ever do's on this podcast.

[Si Robertson]

I'm not even.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I didn't know we had to tell people about that.

[Si Robertson]

Well, Hunter's got one. What'd you do, Hunter?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I didn't do this.

[Si Robertson]

My girlfriend. Right. Right before we we started dating.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

She was really mad and told me.

[Si Robertson]

How she took a baseball bat to a tree.

[Phillip Robertson]

Whoa.

[Si Robertson]

But that was just to let you know. Don't make her mad.

[Phillip Robertson]

You're gonna be the tree.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I don't even believe that. That was just a warning shot.

[Si Robertson]

But the baseball bat came back and hit her in her knee and left a big old bruise that stayed for, like, a few months.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah, Isaac Newton, man.

[Si Robertson]

So she went from Carrie. She went from Carrie Underwood to Tanya Harding.

[Phillip Robertson]

Ooh.

[Si Robertson]

Why he went from baseball bat to the pickup truck to get kneed, like. Okay.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

You want to be honors? You got. Yeah. Careful. Careful, buddy. I know. Careful. You may wake up with a Millennium Falcon glued somewhere. You don't want it to be the bat.

[Martin Robertson]

Do not fight with a woman. Okay? It's the old deal about, why'd you shoot him only six times? All the shells I had.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, it didn't hold seven.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah, it didn't hold seven. I just throw him seven, huh?

[Phillip Robertson]

A woman's scorn.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I'm not messing with no woman. That's a good way to get hurt.

[Martin Robertson]

20 men, one woman.

[Phillip Robertson]

I had my nose broke twice by girls.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

What?

[Phillip Robertson]

Well, I was working. I was working with them, and they got upset. And you know what's kind of fighting. Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

And you know you can't fight back when you're trying to assist and help. You just take the beating.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

You just take it.

[Phillip Robertson]

You just take it, Hunter. I'll teach you that. So when your girlfriend gets.

[Martin Robertson]

Take it for the team, boys.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

What? You just take it?

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah. You gotta take it for the team.

[Phillip Robertson]

You just help them how you can.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

This is why I work in a tackle shop.

[Si Robertson]

I quit listening to y' all, like, two minutes ago.

[Martin Robertson]

Right.

[Si Robertson]

I was looking at trail camera.

[Martin Robertson]

What do you got? For one of his people?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Slap broke your nose twice.

[Si Robertson]

It happened.

[Phillip Robertson]

It happens.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

Over the years.

[Si Robertson]

Feels that. It feels at a good nose height, though. Like, he's right there in the scrum at about five, nine.

[Phillip Robertson]

But no, one girl was about six, three. Another one was about five foot.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. See, when Philip gets in the middle of something, he's, like, technically in the middle of it. If I get in the middle of it, you're above it.

[Martin Robertson]

He's above it.

[Phillip Robertson]

He's above all that.

[Si Robertson]

He's.

[Martin Robertson]

He's above everybody.

[Si Robertson]

So that's why I was.

[Martin Robertson]

When he's in the middle, he's right at the level.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Phillip's in a good. The perfect height.

[Phillip Robertson]

I'm not on the high horse.

[Martin Robertson]

Hey.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

S. Yeah? When's the last time you bragged about your wireless company.

[Martin Robertson]

I don't have a wireless company.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Well, if you had mine and Pure Talk, you'd be bragging about it.

[Martin Robertson]

And because I will brag about them, but people, because they do stuff for.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

The veterans, they do a lot for the veterans.

[Martin Robertson]

Okay, hey, anybody does stuff for the veterans of our country, they're good with me.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Hey, they gave away a thousand American flags to deserving vets. They've raised almost half a million dollars to prevent veteran suicide. They've forgiven $10 million in veteran debt. That's something worth bragging about. And Luke from Wisconsin emailed in, said he's gotten hooked on our sponsors. He switched to Pure Talk, and he's literally saving over $130 a month from what he used to be doing. Well, I think the same coverage you can even brag about the coverage you get, just like Luke is because a 5G network is what you going to get that is insanely fast, dependable and secure. And you can definitely brag, just like Luke did, about how much money you say with Pure Talk, unlimited talk text, plenty of data, it's just 25 bucks a month, saving the average family over $11,000 a year.

[Si Robertson]

And Luke's average.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And Luke's very average.

[Si Robertson]

He's average.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Way to go, Luke.

[Si Robertson]

He's at fifteen hundred dollars.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Look, and I can agree with Luke. I'm on PureTalk coverage, exactly the same. Can't tell a difference. The only thing I can tell the difference is I got more money to spend on stuff I want, not stuff I have to have. So it's time to switch to my wireless company, PureTalk. Go to PureTalk.com and save an additional 50% off your first month. Again, that's PureTalk.com to make the switch today. PureTalk Wireless, worth bragging about.

[Si Robertson]

All right, where we at? We got a deep one and we out of here. What are we doing?

[Martin Robertson]

Hey, hit us with a deep one.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Do we want a deep one?

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah, give us a deep one.

[Si Robertson]

We'll close on something. How deep is this?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

AK From Wisconsin, you're about to hear it from sci.

[Si Robertson]

Connie, let's go, baby.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Not gonna. She asked me not to share some stuff. She asked me to share some stuff.

[Phillip Robertson]

Share it.

[Si Robertson]

Share what you share.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I need some relationship opinions.

[Si Robertson]

Okay, but, man, we ain't done one of these in a while.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I know. And we got a list of things we can share, things we can't share.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, it's.

[Phillip Robertson]

I reading it.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I'm reading it. I'm ready okay, all right, we got a 19 and a 20 year old.

[Si Robertson]

Okay.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Been together for a year and a half.

[Martin Robertson]

Male. What is weight?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I don't know the age.

[Si Robertson]

We're not there yet.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

No, I.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, 19 to 20.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Okay, one's 19, one's 20.

[Martin Robertson]

Okay.

[Si Robertson]

Now that one doesn't really matter.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Okay, you act like it's Bill Belichick and his. Oh, yeah, no, we're the same age.

[Martin Robertson]

It matters. It matters. But hey, I can do.

[Phillip Robertson]

Okay, that's close enough.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

It's. It's so close. It doesn't matter. Okay.

[Si Robertson]

Ouch.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Bend it. I'm just saying that's weird.

[Si Robertson]

It is weird.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

24 year old girl sounds. But I mean, no offense to you.

[Martin Robertson]

Okay, all right, well, how long have they been together?

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

A year and a half.

[Martin Robertson]

Year and a half.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Okay, here's where I'm gonna throw in. Okay. They've lived together for almost a year.

[Si Robertson]

Rut row. Oh, ruh row raggy.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Both financially stable. They don't fight. Talk everything through. Great relationship. She wants to be engaged and married. It's man of her dreams. He already calls her his wife. Okay, but I feel like if she says she feels like, she is like, hey, where's the ring? He might run away or something. How will I know when it's the right time?

[Si Robertson]

Let me tell you something, ma'. Am. You should have known that before you moved in with him.

[Martin Robertson]

Oh, well, if she hadn't figured that out by living with him for a year.

[Si Robertson]

Well, it sounds like she has, but she also. He must have some sort of commitment issue.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, it sounds like she's getting cold feet.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Ain't no cold feet.

[Martin Robertson]

They've been brought up, he's brought up to marry her. Right.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

They've been pretending they've been married for a year. There's only difference is a piece of paper at this point.

[Phillip Robertson]

So I'm thinking a piece of paper.

[Si Robertson]

And a piece of jewelry.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking that you got to do it God's way and God's way and always our way, but God's way is different, you know, and moving in together, that's not God's way. That's not his idea of what a marriage should be. And so I think you need to rethink it, you know, your relationship with this guy. And then he needs to rethink whether or not he wants to be with you. Because when you move in and do it your way and not God's way, then, you know, you may be, you may have relationships with each other that God had not intended for you to have. And if you. And if you are willing to. And they love this person, you're willing to go through all the changes to make it happen. Y' all got to talk about this.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, I would say this. Y' all was talking about you have a good relationship. Finding that piece of paper and putting that ring on your finger. That don't mean you'll stay together. Okay. This is something that you like Phillip's talking about. Okay. God's way is better. God said you need to do it under the umbrella of marriage.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. We just. We got a little out of order here. We went a little out of order.

[Phillip Robertson]

And that can be fixed.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And I'm not. Yeah. I'm not trying.

[Martin Robertson]

All I'm saying is that piece of paper, signing a piece of paper and buying a ring and putting it on a person's finger, that I don't make a solid relationship. No.

[Phillip Robertson]

Because si. It's threefold. There's a covenant between me and my woman and with God.

[Martin Robertson]

And that's all of you involved.

[Phillip Robertson]

Right.

[Martin Robertson]

You're involved with God, you're involved with her, and you're making a declaration that you will do it. Right. With both.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

Okay.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

My opinion is.

[Martin Robertson]

And I was just making the point, a ring and a piece of paper.

[Phillip Robertson]

No, you're right. You're right. If your mind's not right, you're not right.

[Martin Robertson]

Matter in the heart and the head.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. And also that contract, I don't think necessarily means not what a good lord either, because, you know, like.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Well, Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, that's just.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Well, right now, that's just so you.

[Si Robertson]

Get your day in the United States court system.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Great tax benefit.

[Martin Robertson]

That's why if you've made it right, they need to think seriously about, okay, what are we doing?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Because there's no difference.

[Martin Robertson]

Okay. And what do we want in the future?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

For this relationship.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And if you're both living together, you're both financially stable, I'm assuming you're doing all the things married people do. You pretty much married. I don't want to be the. I don't think you just going to go pick up a coffee table and.

[Martin Robertson]

Leave one day, you know, common law. They've already been married.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I don't know how that works, but.

[Martin Robertson]

Well, I. I think it's just. They just used to live together.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Yeah. And I had a buddy who went through this great friend of mine.

[Si Robertson]

He was living.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

He said something feels off and he felt like he was being called, like he'd Been. He had some kids together. They were just. But they. For some reason, they were like, we're not getting married yet. I was always like, that's why not.

[Si Robertson]

Okay.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

And then one day, it kind of hit him like, no, I do need to. And he moved to the couch for a month until they got married, because that's what he was feeling that God was calling him to do. So I do believe if y' all are meant for each other, you figure that out. But I. I think it. If you love him, it's. Bring it up. Say, I'm not just here to live with you and do all the things married people do. I'm here.

[Si Robertson]

Well. And if you bring it up and he runs, I think you got your answer. Yeah, like.

[Martin Robertson]

I mean, that's what I was saying.

[Si Robertson]

I ain't.

[Martin Robertson]

Right now.

[Si Robertson]

I ain't trying to lead you down a road of heartbreak, but, like, if. If. If he's going to run, then he was always going to run. So.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Like, you know.

[Martin Robertson]

Yeah. All I was saying. Okay, you asked for advice. Here's the advice. Philip was right. You need to look at this seriously. Okay? And then, like, Martin said, okay, if you say, okay, we need to get right with God number one.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin Robertson]

And if he runs, then, hey, it wasn't meant to be.

[Si Robertson]

There you go. Yeah. You're saving yourself some trouble, and you're.

[Martin Robertson]

Saving yourself a lot of heartache or.

[Si Robertson]

Whatever by doing it.

[Martin Robertson]

Okay. But I'm just saying, that's the advice we've given you. Okay? Now, you've got to do what you've got to do. You need to do some serious thinking.

[Si Robertson]

And the words of my grandfather, it's time to crap or get off the pot.

[Phillip Robertson]

That's right. And here's the other thing, is, is we love you. So we're telling you what we think the truth is about this.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phillip Robertson]

I mean, if we didn't love you, we'd say, oh, yeah, it won't work out.

[Si Robertson]

But, yeah, bring it up. It's your right to know that answer. So bring it up.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

Because if he don't want to get married.

[Phillip Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

What are we waiting around for?

[Si Robertson]

Well, if you don't want to get married, then the next thing, y' all just move out, keep dating. Yeah. You're both financially stable, right? About stable is stable or. And if you're only financially stable together, now, we got a different problem. But there's. Hey, there's. There's ways to work around that, too. But whatever.

[Martin Robertson]

I'll use a Bible here.

[Si Robertson]

When.

[Martin Robertson]

You know the truth. Truth will set you free.

[Si Robertson]

There you go. Hey, close with that one.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

We're going to John 8. 32.

[Si Robertson]

There you go.

[Martin Robertson]

Yep.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

I've always wondered if I could, like, use an actual Bible and be faster than Googling sometimes. And you know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

[Si Robertson]

There you go.

[Johnny 'Johnny D' Robertson]

You nailed it.

[Si Robertson]

I'm the truth.

[Martin Robertson]

Nailed it.

[Si Robertson]

There's only one I'm the truth.

[Martin Robertson]

And then you'll be at. You'll be at ease with yourself, Duck.

[Si Robertson]

And we'll see you next time right here in the duck call room.
