How. How do you have a long night?

[Si Robertson]

Do tell us. I didn't. I didn't sleep much. If I went to sleep, it wasn't but just short periods.

You'll see. I got in bed about eight and I, you know, I. I'm trying to go to sleep.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, I rolled in, so we were all staying. Let's set the scene for the people listening. We all went down to Honeybreak last night. If you've never heard of it, look it up. It's a. It's a duck hunting place down in Jonesville, Louisiana. Really nice. I mean, one of the nicest places you'll ever visit after all.

[Si Robertson]

Shaft. It cooks great food.

[Willie Robertson]

All the things, all the.

[Si Robertson]

All the min. But I is the name of it.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. But I let the boys go to bed. Then I took Brittany out to dinner. Then I come down. So I got down about 11 o'clock.

[Si Robertson]

How sweet are you to do that?

[Willie Robertson]

Well, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

You treat your woman like the queen she is.

[Willie Robertson]

I guarantee you, son, you better do it. But I rolled in about 11pm and y'all had Rocky. Rocky for blaring. So I assume when I'm walking upstairs that everybody's awake because the good one isn't it.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah, the Russian.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

It's just one big bunk room we're all in. And so I'm thinking they're going to Be a wait. Well, I walk in, everybody in the room snoring. I thought, oh no, oh no, I have messed up here. So the fact that you're saying you weren't asleep.

[Phil Robertson]

Not true.

[Willie Robertson]

There's a.

[Si Robertson]

Well, if I went to sleep, I'm telling you, it wasn't for short periods.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, yeah, because you were.

[Si Robertson]

I laid there and just said, you know, I look at my watch and say, good grief, it's only 2:30.

[Willie Robertson]

Only 2/3. Why?

[Jase Robertson]

That's been a long day for him.

[Willie Robertson]

That accounts for three and a half.

[Si Robertson]

Hours when I go out. There's something about.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, did you sleep on a ride back? Because it was a two hour ride.

[Si Robertson]

No, I tried that. Nope, can't do it. Everything's got to be just right for me to really sleep.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, what?

[Si Robertson]

Hey, you ask. I'll tell you what you do. Ask Christine. Hey, what happens when I come back off of a trip, you about to.

[Willie Robertson]

Sleep for a couple of days?

[Si Robertson]

I will get in that bed and I won't get out till like 11 o'clock the next day.

[Jase Robertson]

That's like hibernation.

[Si Robertson]

That's it. I'm talking about like 9:00. I'm in bed and I don't get out till like one. Okay. She said you must be tired. You stayed in bed all day. That's a. Oh, I slept 24 hours straight one time.

[Willie Robertson]

God bless you.

[Si Robertson]

I'm serious.

[Jase Robertson]

Only thing that does that is bears.

[Si Robertson]

No, I did it when RIP Pam Winkle, because my wife said she spent like 24 hours coming in and putting her hand on my chest to make sure I was breathing because I. I did not move for 24 hours.

[Willie Robertson]

There you go.

[Jase Robertson]

Man hibernates.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, I don't know why he's so tired. Because it sounded like he was relaxed. Stone too.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, that's the crazy, that's the crazy part.

[Willie Robertson]

I woke up this morning, said, man, my throat's a little scratchy. I was like, yeah, I know why I heard that. All night long, I'm telling you.

[Si Robertson]

And look, we had watched before we went to bed, we'd watch bears. Somebody shooting bears up north somewhere. And some of them would find them and they would yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba. Well, that's what he done. All night long. Yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba, yabba.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, he was ripping. No, like. And apparently they had some peas or something. Cause everybody in there was farting too. It was wild.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, hey, I guarantee you I ain't.

[Willie Robertson]

Slept in a group setting in a minute.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Clear. It's like at least 100 acres of timber.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Solid logs.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, solid log.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

On the ride back, that window would go down on his side. About every 15 minutes, window would go down and that gust would hit me.

[Willie Robertson]

He just cutting wind over.

[Phil Robertson]

Just smell like just rotten egg, like he'd been eating deviled eggs.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I know this. When PR would go out with go somewhere hunting, I got banned from the rooms.

[Willie Robertson]

That's true statement. When we first time out, hey, you.

[Si Robertson]

Get your butt in there and sleep on the couch. You ain't sleeping in the room.

[Willie Robertson]

The first time I showed up to Arkansas to hunt with you boys, the first time they put me in the bunk room with Si and I had no idea. I was like, heck, yeah, I love Si. He's hilarious. Then Si fell asleep. And this is before he had a CPAP machine.

[Si Robertson]

And Martin lay there.

[Willie Robertson]

You know when you fell. You know when you fall asleep when you bunk? Was I when he gets up to go pee?

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

You got like a three minute window. That does take him three minutes to.

[Si Robertson]

Go to sleep quick.

[Phil Robertson]

And it goes from. To. When he gets up to go pee is, oh.

[Willie Robertson]

That'S your cue. Go to sleep, man. It was. Yeah, it was. There's a long night last night.

[Jase Robertson]

He makes noise.

[Si Robertson]

We landed in Denver and there was a whole crew.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, I was. I wasn't for this.

[Si Robertson]

I went in the bathroom and everybody Al, Willie, Phil, him. Did they all come in? Whoa, whoa, man. Oh, it was one strange Willie. Hey, I've never been in this airport in my life, okay?

[Willie Robertson]

That's because it wasn't an airport. We was in the fbo.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, and Willie turned the lights out every time.

[Willie Robertson]

Every time.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, oh, oh. If you walk in, I started doing the mime thing against the wall, which is dangerous. I don't know where I'm at. I'm running into junk, bumping my knee on metal. Oh, then it was, oh, yeah, Willie ought to kill you when I get a hold of you, boy.

[Willie Robertson]

You know, back then I thought that was mean, but after last night, I think it's kind of funny.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, it is. If you're not on the receiving end of it.

[Willie Robertson]

I guarantee you it ain't funny if.

[Si Robertson]

It'S you're on the receiving end.

[Willie Robertson]

It's still pretty.

[Phil Robertson]

It is funny.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, what a life, man.

[Jase Robertson]

You do make a lot of noise.

[Si Robertson]

Well, now, I admit that I'm a noise maker.

[Willie Robertson]

He is a noise maker.

[Si Robertson]

My wife, she said she just walks out of her room. Will you quit that? I said, what? She said, you're in here just making all kind of racket. And I said, well, I don't even know it. What are you looking at?

[Jase Robertson]

This shirt from the original Duck Commander. That's old school.

[Phil Robertson]

20 years.

[Willie Robertson]

That's 2000. And I got distracted by that. Probably 2006, I bet.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. This thing is warm because I am burning up.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, I'm freezing.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, that was made by Drake Waterfowl, but it was right when the. The real tree deal started. That's real tree max four.

[Jase Robertson]

So I got distracted by how much I want size jacket. Sorry.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, no s. Don't give it to sell it to Jacob Mayo.

[Jase Robertson]

Called that thing 500.

[Willie Robertson]

It's Duck Commander jacket.

[Jase Robertson]

That thing is sweet. So y'all had a good, good night sleep, huh?

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm so restless.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I was. I guess I wouldn't. Shouldn't call it that. We had an interesting, adventurous night of sleep.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, we did. That's fine. Or whatever.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't remember the last time I was in a group sleep situation.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, last night. Tried to avoid last night. Reaffirmed why you will never get me at one of those men's retreats.

[Phil Robertson]

No, look, I'm telling you, that's reason number 98 not to go to one.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, the 198, the one I went on. I looked over, and there was this old dude about size age in blue jeans and boots sleeping. And I was like, how's he asleep? Like this. And I've never heard someone snore like that in my entire life. So then I just left. Went on, like, a little excursion. Went through the woods.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Found some stuff. Found. Went to the kitchen where I wasn't supposed to be. Made myself a snack. They were like, what were you doing last night? I was like, you can't sleep next.

[Phil Robertson]

To all these people.

[Si Robertson]

I ready to pantry.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Group sleep. I. I don't thrive in group sleep setting.

[Phil Robertson]

No. No.

[Jase Robertson]

The only person out of my room's Allison.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, not even. And mine's Britney, but she's even optional sometimes. I'm like, she get them restless legs. Get the thrashing, buddy. Yeah. Like I just kick you, huh?

She kick you?

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, yeah. Sometimes I kick back, too.

[Phil Robertson]

W is fun to sleep in a.

[Willie Robertson]

Room with terrible man. Yeah, but one nostril that don't work.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, they called him tiny nostrils. When he was a teenager, he got little bitty nostalgic pinhole nostrils.

[Willie Robertson]

The only man that sounds like he's drunk. That don't drink. Jay sunk him with that one the other day on the phone. He said, you always sound drunk, but you don't drink. He said, hey, I am drunk on life, buddy. We're heading into the new year, New year, new me, which generally means, you know, changes of things.

[Phil Robertson]

I think so.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, good.

[Phil Robertson]

Good.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't even know what it was.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, me neither.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, you Know, me and Si accomplished something we set out to accomplish two.

[Si Robertson]

Years ago and actually, okay, it actually, we actually accomplished it.

[Phil Robertson]

We did it.

[Si Robertson]

And that. It's a deer and his name was Toothpick.

[Jase Robertson]

Is Toothpick dead?

[Phil Robertson]

What?

[Si Robertson]

Toothpick has went to heaven.

[Willie Robertson]

Toothpick left the chat, boy.

[Si Robertson]

He left. He left this old wicked earth. And hey, he went to the good place.

[Jase Robertson]

You got him.

[Phil Robertson]

You got him. Seven and a half year old buck.

[Willie Robertson]

He got him.

[Si Robertson]

I wish I'd had the camera work on him preparing me to shoot this deer. It was hilarious. Oh, well, he was trying to. He was trying to talk to me calmly, okay. Not to get me excited. And it was hilarious.

[Phil Robertson]

I guess what we call in the business the buck fever. He gets excited, he'll get to shaking like a dog trying to pass.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, look, I've been chasing this rascal for two years.

[Jase Robertson]

Is this him?

[Si Robertson]

I don't know if it's him or not.

[Jase Robertson]

Good.

[Willie Robertson]

Did a picture aside with a dead deer.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, it is.

[Jase Robertson]

How many deer you got a gill to say?

[Phil Robertson]

I ain't sure.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, that's him.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, he's giant.

[Si Robertson]

Talking about groups. It's so lovely to be with a group of people. And you do something. Look at that. Because like when, when I shot him, the deer runs off, okay. So he sends pictures to about three people saying, well, what do you think? You know? You know? And all of them say, well, he got shot.

[Willie Robertson]

He was.

[Si Robertson]

No, he wasn't. He was a little far back. But it wasn't gutshot at the lungs. And it did and it got delivered.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, Si. Let's talk about what happened a couple weeks ago before we add.

[Willie Robertson]

So we're clear, that little ruffle of her right there. Exit wound.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I think this is.

[Willie Robertson]

Go up, go up right there.

[Si Robertson]

Toothpick may be one of Santa's reindeers because the deer gods have been protecting this deer.

[Phil Robertson]

So to Johnny D. Two weeks ago. Yeah, Toothpick was standing in the jump out and it was getting dark. Yeah, it was about 10 minutes for illegal and he was 90 yards in the chump pile. Head down, broadside. I said, sigh. He's in the chump pile. You see him? He said, yep. Is that him in the jump house?

[Si Robertson]

I said, he standed broadside to me and he's got his head. He's eating the chum in the chump.

[Phil Robertson]

I said, giant buck in the chum pile.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

You got him? He said, yeah, I got him in the crosshairs. I said, hold up.

[Si Robertson]

He mumbled something about camera. I think oh, boy.

[Phil Robertson]

I said, hold up. Let me get the camera. Reach down to get the camera.

[Si Robertson]

And you hear.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And I said, well, we both high five. So I got a bullet in that sucker. I finally have done it. I've got him, you know. So we high five and we sit there and talk about, well, it's been a. You know, he's been a worthy adversary. We've hunted him for two years now, and we finally are going to get to put our hand on them big antlers at Rascal. Well, he goes down there about 25 minutes later, he said, I'm gonna go check for blood. So I watch him, you know, he's got his phone light on, and he's walking around, you know, makes a circle in the woods. And then I hear that big.308. Pow. And then pow, y'all. And I look, and it looked like he's picked up a rabbit and threw it back to the four wheeler, you know, And I'm saying, wait a minute. And he comes up. I thought he was pulling my leg. He comes up there and he said, hey, you big dummy, you shot a little yearling. And I said, don't, don't. I said, come on, dude, don't do that. I said, hey. And he said, I'm serious. Well, look, it was dark, you know, by that time, so we can't see nothing. So we wait and go back the next day, and we go down there, look for blood. Can't find any blood. Make a big circle. They do. They walk around looking at him and Chad looking for blood. They, you know, probably went 300 yards, circle around everywhere and come back. And when we're walking back to the four wheeler, it's uphill. And Chad said, hey, there's a bunch of deer hair right here. A big pile of it, you know. And I said, well, now we know where the yearling was standing. That stupid deer was standing in front of him because he was uphill. I had the crosshairs on him and killed that stupid yearling.

[Phil Robertson]

And he didn't see the yearling. I didn't either. I was reaching down.

[Jase Robertson]

Good friend.

[Phil Robertson]

I was reaching down to get the camera, which Willie gave explicit orders. Don't shoot that deer if it's not on camera.

[Jase Robertson]

And he shot it before I could get the camera.

[Phil Robertson]

So it worked out pretty good. And plus, I got some tender back straps out of the.

[Si Robertson]

And I got some deer meat, you know, which Christine said, hey, you go all deer hunting all the time, and I never get any deer meat. I said, well, darling, all you had to say was, hey, bring home some deer meat. I said, stone will kill me one if. If we want a deer. Yes, you do it and give me the back strap. Go. Just tell me you want.

[Phil Robertson]

But anyway, so he, instead of shooting Toothpick, he shot a 35 pound yearling. And I picked it up by the hind legs like a rabbit, walked it up there and he said, I finally got that sucker. I said, yeah, you got him. And I shined that light on that yearling and he gets to hollering. He said, no, that ain't what I shot.

[Si Robertson]

It wasn't what I was shooting at.

[Phil Robertson]

I said, well, he got a big hole through. Somebody shot him.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

And I, Toothpick, had him trained to take bullets for him.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, that's what I'm talking about. When the deer gods are putting yearlings in front of this big rascal. I mean, he's got divine protection, boys. Good grief. But hey, he messed up. But like I said, I would love to have camera on him because he said, hey, settle down, settle down. These pick is coming out over from the other stage.

[Phil Robertson]

I was trying to stay calm myself. Yeah, I get sick.

[Si Robertson]

So look, I throw my binoculars up, looking through the trees, and all I see is a head of a deer coming. And I look at them big antlers and I said, oh, yeah, that's him, you know. And he said, calm down, calm down. He said, let me get your rifle ready for you. So he puts the rifle in the holder, screws it down, okay. Looks through the scope, gets it, you know. He said, okay, I got it set up for you. So look, I put my eye to the scope and I said, is it the buck in the back? And he said, no, no, no, no, he ain't come into the picture yet. He's going to walk into the. Where the scope is. So I sit there and wait. And here he comes, he stops and I said, you ready? He said, yeah. Pow.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

I said, take your time.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, take it out. Bam. Well, look, take him out.

[Jase Robertson]

That's what he heard. Hey, you said, take your time. He heard, take him out.

[Si Robertson]

Pow. Well, no, no, look, yo. Cause I asked him, the deer, the deer runs off, y'all. We didn't even see him fall. Okay, good reason. No, I'm serious. Cause the scope, as soon as I pulled the trigger, scope went up, gone. Okay? So I asked Stone, but that's why.

[Willie Robertson]

You get it on video, so we can watch.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, no. Because I asked Stone, I said, hey, did you hear it hit? Hit him. I Said I didn't hear the whop. I said, did I miss him again?

[Willie Robertson]

What are you talking about, son? Sound like cardi b all over that thing.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, but anyway. So, hey, y'all, we sit there and talk. He texts about 14 people and say, well, we. We got our bullet in y'all. What do you think? And all of them were saying, well, you got shot in me. All this, that. And he asked me, so where was you aiming? I said, high shoulder. He said, oh, no, you didn't. Shouldn't have done that. I had it set for just, you know, center mass. Well, I said, high shoulder. But the bullet. If you cut the deer in half, the bullet will hit right at half. Half mark.

[Willie Robertson]

You hit him in a 50 yard.

[Si Robertson]

It was. It was. I told him. I said, oh, it's about 6 inches back too far. Well, add another 4 inches of that. It was about 10 inches back too far. But it still did. Because when. When we watched it on the. On the camera, I said, stone. I said, that ain't a bad hit. I said, because it wrinkled his skin. Well, that was my way of expressing where I thought it hit. Well, the more I thought about it, I said, oh, no, Now I know why I used the term it wrinkled his skin. When that bullet hit that deer, it collapsed his lungs. And it was. I'm looking at a 3D picture. His lungs are this wide. And then it went pow. And it's this wide. Okay. And look, when we got back to the lair and put it on the big screen on the computer, when it hit him, hey. He immediately hit the ground.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, he was hurt.

[Si Robertson]

And then jumped up and run off. And I said, oh, that deer said, good.

[Jase Robertson]

If you shot me in the stomach, I'd hit the ground too.

[Si Robertson]

All the wannabes are still saying, no, you got shot him. Yeah. What?

[Jase Robertson]

Before we go anywhere else, who. Who are the wannabes?

[Si Robertson]

The people he text you, I'll take.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, yeah. Oh, it's a gut shot. That deer was gutching. Look, hey, look, let me tell you something.

[Si Robertson]

He was shot too far back.

[Willie Robertson]

Look, I'm not.

[Jase Robertson]

Which would equal the guts.

[Willie Robertson]

Gut shots happen like this. You're. How old are you?

[Si Robertson]

Seven is six. How.

[Willie Robertson]

How far was this deer?

[Si Robertson]

235. 235 yards. Let me.

[Willie Robertson]

Let me tell you something.

[Phil Robertson]

Yep.

[Willie Robertson]

High five for hitting him. Like, I'm just saying, like, that ain't an easy shot. Like, nothing about that is easy. So you hit him, but then the most important thing you did, forget the shot is you did the Right thing. You got the heck out of it when you didn't know. You left him alone.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, because that's what he came in.

[Willie Robertson]

That's the lesson from the whole deal.

[Si Robertson]

He text everybody. He text.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And he said, hey, you know, we're thinking we should just not mess with him. Don't go.

[Willie Robertson]

[Si Robertson]

He, you know muscle man.

[Jase Robertson]

Is that why you said? Because I got the picture in the group message.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh yeah, yeah. Where's the video? The good looking gentleman dragging him out.

[Jase Robertson]

It was you.

[Si Robertson]

Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

Well me and zone breaker. Zone breaker did a lot more than I did. I just kind of steered. He. He was more of the horsepower always. If you see this boy, you know.

[Phil Robertson]

Always like having bone breaker around.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I mean look at.

[Willie Robertson]

Very apt name.

[Si Robertson]

Look at the size of that joke.

[Willie Robertson]

But here's what I was going to say. If you want to know how much it means. When the man got from the four wheeler to the deer, he couldn't say a word. It's the first time I've ever heard him speechless. Not because he was out of breath.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I was out of breath too.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, he's out of breath. But that wasn't it because I was over begging him to put a plug off that oxygen machine. After I drug him up that hill right there. I was like, hey man, give me a little hit of that. Like, I mean but he. That's how much this quest meant to the guy who gets paid to sit here and run his mouth. He couldn't say nothing.

[Si Robertson]

Here's the thing about him, okay. We figured we and we, okay, me and him and sometimes his daughter. Okay. And sometimes other people would sit with us. We sit in the stand 40 at least 40 times.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Hunting that deer. And he. Yes, we being that deer have had some moments.

[Jase Robertson]

I'd say so he had little deer jumping out in front of bullets.

[Si Robertson]

You know, we're having.

[Jase Robertson]

You had secret service.

[Si Robertson]

You know, so hey, the deer lived. Look, the deer lived. He probably seven and a half is what we think we'll know once the. Yeah, we get the mount back because the guy that mountain will tell us how old he was. But me and the deer got got. We bonded over that 40 cents.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, he was the monarch.

[Si Robertson]

Because I said wait a minute. Because stone would be in the stand. We don't. We don't got a picture in the camera of him at this stand. So the weather's right, the wind's right, we're in that stand, we're after him. And guess what? Stone throws his binoculars up and he's looking over at the other stand. He said, yep, that's just what I thought. Well, when he said that, I said, oh, don't tell me that. And he said, yeah, it's him. He's 50 yards in front of the other stand.

[Phil Robertson]

500 from where we were.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, from where we're at, he's standing 50 yards in front of the stand.

[Phil Robertson]

That happened three days in a row. We don't want Stan. He come out the other.

[Si Robertson]

It's like he's a mind reader. And then Stone said, well, hey, look, let's just face it. This big is smarter than both of you and me combined, okay?

[Willie Robertson]

He also, the bottom line, he also values living.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, hey, you don't get that big by being dumb.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, you talking about a big old pretty animal. That sucker probably weighed about what, 230? And that's post rut a lot. Yeah, post rut. He probably was walking around about 260.

[Si Robertson]

When I petted him. When I was on my knees sitting behind him, it was like petting this wood. It wasn't no gill. Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

He wasn't a heavyset deer.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he was.

[Willie Robertson]

He sure felt like he was.

[Si Robertson]

I watched them drag him out.

[Phil Robertson]

But the most impressive thing I saw that day was when Martin and Bone Breaker lifted that deer up and power cleaned him in the back of that side by side. Martin got it that much room to spare.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no.

[Willie Robertson]

Here's what I knew. I knew I had one, maybe two opportunities at that and that was it. I said, so I'm gonna give it everything I got on this first on the first, and hopefully it land.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, on the first.

[Willie Robertson]

If it wouldn't have, I'd probably.

[Phil Robertson]

It was impressive. It was impressive.

[Willie Robertson]

But Bone Breaker had the hard part. Head to head.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay, who is Bone Breaker?

[Willie Robertson]

What's his name? Cody. Cody's own Breaker.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, we barely nicknamed him. He said Zone Breaker. More like Bone Breaker.

[Willie Robertson]

My guy is.

[Jase Robertson]

Where did he come from?

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, he could run through that wall, son.

[Willie Robertson]

I'd say East Carol Parish. Probably just looking at him.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I would bet on him.

[Phil Robertson]

He's from basket blocks.

[Willie Robertson]

He's from basketball.

[Si Robertson]

I would bet on Bone breaking.

[Phil Robertson]

He trains at our jujitsu school. Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

It's a very apt nickname. If you see him, he'd be like, yeah, makes sense.

[Jase Robertson]

I ain't Getting in a fight with nobody.

[Phil Robertson]

He makes Burley look like a little child.

[Jase Robertson]

He makes Burley look like a child. Wow.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, big old boy now. I like to know he's on my side.

[Phil Robertson]

That's right. You want him on your team?

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

He bigger than Burley.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, muscle. Muscle wise, not. Not stature, probably. Yeah. No, not stature. Muscles.

[Si Robertson]

Yes, his arms. Probably about size.

[Willie Robertson]

That he'd have a tough time choking you because his arms are so big.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, he. He don't have a tough time joking.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, he get that forearm on you. I'm talking about just like, you know, like a kid. Friendly choke. Not one to like.

[Phil Robertson]

He likes this kind of joke.

[Willie Robertson]

There you go.

[Phil Robertson]

He'll pin your arm up next to your head and just. Yeah, he can pop your head like a pimple if he wanted to.

[Willie Robertson]

Very good nickname. We'd have him in here. He big old boy now.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

You. You quick to arm wrestle Rucker that they'll get you up against old bone.

[Jase Robertson]

I. I know I'll lose to a man named Bone breaker. Who's burly size.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. A big old boy.

[Phil Robertson]

He get duck hunter, too. He's good.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, yeah, he's. But that was fun. It was fun to be a part of. It was fun to be there for the recovery.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah. We had all kinds of people there.

[Si Robertson]

Don't say that was another thing.

[Willie Robertson]

And most people don't get to have a crowd.

[Si Robertson]

There.

[Willie Robertson]

We selling tickets.

[Si Robertson]

Jazz and his two girls. And, you know, we got to listen to sister telling Jay, jace, you need to quit killing these little bitty deer.

[Willie Robertson]

That's true story.

[Si Robertson]

Stop. Stop shooting the yearlings, Chaz.

[Willie Robertson]

Daughter undressed Jace Robertson via telephone. It was fun.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah. About shooting yearlings.

[Willie Robertson]

About shooting baby deer.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

And then Phil caught a couple of strays because he said, well, I learned that from my dad. She said, well, your dad is not a nice man.

[Jase Robertson]

Who's this person, Chad?

[Willie Robertson]

She's daughter.

[Si Robertson]

How old is she? Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

The honesty of a child. She. She was letting her rip. Then she looked at me. She said, your daddy shouldn't have taught y'all that. I said, hey, I'm not one of them.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm not one of them.

[Willie Robertson]

Excuse me. I'm not one of them. I just kind of look like I.

[Si Robertson]

Run with them, but I'm not one.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, but it was, man. It was special. I ain't gonna lie. I got choked up a little bit when I saw him, because I. I was. I 30 on actually retrieving the deer, but when I saw him laying There it was. It was pretty cool.

[Si Robertson]

It's good stuff. Well, the night before was pitiful.

[Willie Robertson]

Let me guess, you didn't get no sleep in either. Okay.

[Si Robertson]

Worried about him.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, you. You running on empty, ain't you? Two nights this week with no sleep.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

Now we're trying to figure out what we're going to do for the rest.

[Si Robertson]

Of the year now, right, y'all, you've.

[Jase Robertson]

Peaked here at 76 years old.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, but I told him, I said if I. If we hadn't recovered him, I would have probably. Okay, forget me. Deer hunt. I'm through with it. I'll do it again.

[Jase Robertson]

That have been sad.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, it would have been.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

Then I wouldn't have had nothing to do.

[Si Robertson]

So now what we're going to do is. Hey, Willie's needs some deer in the freezer. So now we fixed to go shoot time out some.

[Jase Robertson]

Does Willie needs deer in the freezer? Did one of the four come unplugged or something?

[Willie Robertson]

No, he's out of deer. He still has plenty of eland and elk eyed.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

It was 11 point. But he was a horse.

[Si Robertson]

It was a horse. Well, look. Guess what is that?

[Jase Robertson]

This one?

[Si Robertson]

That's it.

[Phil Robertson]

[Jase Robertson]

I was going through the emails and that is this picture came up and I said, wow, that kid looks like Stone's daughter.

[Si Robertson]

But anyway, I shot twice. Okay. At dear, not whitetail. I shot twice at 2 axis deer bucks back in south Texas and I missed both times. So that was at 385.

[Jase Robertson]

You just said you don't practice shooting.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I did, though, at one time. I wore my badge. Shooting badge was expert.

[Willie Robertson]

And Cub Scouts.

[Si Robertson]

No, in the army, not in Cub Scouts. I wasn't in the Cub Scout.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm just messing with, well, I guess.

[Si Robertson]

You could call them Cub Scouts.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, when he started a deer hunt with me, he actually was using rifles with optics that were actually zeroed.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, let me tell you what that old man did this morning. Oh, on the duck hunt.

[Si Robertson]

What'd he do?

[Willie Robertson]

I may have reached out there with that 20 gauge, clipped him a crow at about 70.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, I saw it.

[Willie Robertson]

I saw him measuring it out. I was outside the blind watching messed up. I saw him measuring it out with his shotgun. I said, ain't no way, boy. Ain't no way he shot that crow. That thing folded like a wet dish, buddy.

[Jase Robertson]

You want to know what's funny? The one time I've been duck hunting with psy, we didn't see nothing. It was me stone inside, and a crow came flying overhead.

[Willie Robertson]

He's smashing si.

[Jase Robertson]

All of a sudden, just stands up, pow. Folds it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, well, when the ducks ain't flying, you don't want to fly in front of me, okay? Cause if you do, I'm gonna do my best to kill you.

[Jase Robertson]

It was one of my favorite moments, duck hunting.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, you've just put your finger on my wound and poured salt in it, and I ain't gonna take it.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, he dope off that thing, so.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, he smashed it.

[Si Robertson]

Made today.

[Phil Robertson]

This place we were hunting, you know, it's pretty swanky, you know, high end, you know, highfalutin customers, whatnot. And I guarantee you, that's the first time anybody's ever raised up because they.

[Si Robertson]

Asked, okay, how many crows y'all killed? The lavender. He said, I think this is the first one.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Yes. I done reached out there and got him one.

[Si Robertson]

So. Hey, guess what we did after, before we left the blind.

[Jase Robertson]

You ate the crow?

[Si Robertson]

No, I had to get out and hold a stupid crow up and take pictures with him.

[Willie Robertson]

And then I laid it on his chest while he laid down. Right.

[Phil Robertson]

Now we getting it mounted.

[Si Robertson]

And that was the first thing that Drew asked me. You want this fully mounted or just a head or wings out or what?

[Jase Robertson]

Skull mounted crow.

[Willie Robertson]

You don't want to do that. I don't think his skull in good shape from what I saw.

[Phil Robertson]

It was a headshot all the way the time out.

[Jase Robertson]

He shot a crow like, that was probably 15 years ago. It was one of the most impressive shots I've ever seen.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, you don't want to fly. Hey, time spent by the duck line when there's no ducks flying.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Time spent outside. I just said it jokingly. I said, sigh, here comes your crow.

[Jase Robertson]

That was all he needs he had a.

[Willie Robertson]

Come right by me, and I was looking at him, and I saw that gun barrel come out that blind. I said, oh, he ain't gonna try this.

[Si Robertson]

What he's gonna do is stone think same thing. Cause I do it all the time. And then I just.

[Willie Robertson]

He'll measure him, and he'll be like. I don't know.

[Phil Robertson]

He'll say, but, hey, I smoked him.

[Si Robertson]

But this time, I didn't say nothing. I just.

[Jase Robertson]

You smoke?

[Si Robertson]

He just. I looked over then. Drew was real nice. The dog's not him. I don't want it back.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, boom, boom, boom.

[Jase Robertson]

Had the dog go get him.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

He didn't want to.

[Si Robertson]

Picked it up. Looked at it first, picked it up, come walking back, had a funny expression on her face. And I really don't. I don't understand.

[Willie Robertson]

He looked like he just grabbed, like a Sour Patch Kid or something, you know?

[Jase Robertson]

He's like, that dog's gonna be confused for the rest of his life after today.

[Si Robertson]

See, that's what hunting is about.

[Jase Robertson]

Killing crows.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, it's having a good fellowship. Okay.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And having some fun. And you hear the most important part of all of it. Laughter.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, I laugh.

[Si Robertson]

Boy.

[Jase Robertson]

That's why it's actually impressive that you killed deer. Because I figure you make a lot of. That's why.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, that's another reason it took us 40 plus times. Kill Toothpick. The noise. The noise factor. I had to put insulation in all of his deer stands.

[Si Robertson]

Here's the deal.

[Phil Robertson]

Black them out.

[Jase Robertson]

That right there, the big one behind you.

[Si Robertson]

I had tears in my eyes when I walked up on that deer right there. And I told the owner. I told him he was out of his mind when he told me you could shoot him. And I said, have you lost your mind? I said that there's worth a lot of money. You sell him to somebody to shoot him. Don't give him to me. Yeah. And I said, he's my near too pretty.

[Phil Robertson]

But I'm gonna tell you right now, the memory that Eddie is going to carry to the grave with him is worth way more than what he sold that deer for.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh. And if you don't think I ain't toting that crow to mine, you wrong.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

You know, but legitimate chance we can get that crow mounted.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

We can do it. Are we going to. I wouldn't doubt I got a nice chance.

[Si Robertson]

When we left, Drew had the crow in his hand.

[Willie Robertson]

He made it back to the camp.

[Si Robertson]

He made it back to the camp. So I'm Pretty sure I'm gonna see that crow again. Oh, praise the Lord. It's gonna have some. A plaque on the bottom of it with some writing.

[Willie Robertson]

I the kind of guy kill a crow, be the only one bandit ever, you know, something goofy like that. But it's not this. I mean, I laughed, I giggled because I ingest. I was like, s, you got a crow coming right here.

[Jase Robertson]

That's all he needed to hear.

[Willie Robertson]

All he needed.

[Si Robertson]

I didn't hear that. All I did was I seen him and I said, hey, bad move, dude.

[Phil Robertson]

Bad move. Wrong place, wrong time.

[Si Robertson]

Wrong place, wrong time. And it was a good shot because it was about 70.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, look, Jay Sa even told me that was a good shot. Jay's even compliment me. I look over.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah. He said, hey, that was a good shot.

[Jase Robertson]

Having a good day.

[Si Robertson]

And I just kind of thought to myself, I said, well, hey, I've been doing it all my life, son. You just never have verified it, acknowledged it.

[Jase Robertson]

That's how you had to prove it. You had to shoot at something nobody else was going to shoot at. So you could easily claim that one.

[Si Robertson]

Man on I just did it because I wanted to. And it fit the moment. I was glad you did live in the place up.

[Phil Robertson]

It was a highlight of the hunt. But it's been a good week. It's been a good week.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

We're back. It's 2025 now. So do you have any New Year's resolutions?

[Si Robertson]

I don't make New Year's resolution. Why not? Don't. You don't ever keep them.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Why. Why should you fool yourself if you're not going to keep it, don't even bother making it.

[Willie Robertson]

What he's really saying is, why would you mess with perfection?

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, he ain't changing now. Is that what you're getting at?

[Si Robertson]

Well, I'm too old to change.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, you just said you're going to practice shooting.

[Si Robertson]

Well, well, look, that's.

[Jase Robertson]

That could be your New Year's resolution.

[Si Robertson]

That. Well, no, that ain't a resolution. That's. Hey, let's get to work. The work. The work will pay off.

[Jase Robertson]

I think that's my definition of New Year's resolution.

[Si Robertson]

No, Just think of the fun that me and him are fixing to have going to the range. Because, look, trust me when I say, okay, there's going to be 3, 4, 5. Okay, that's the range doing it. It's made out of metal. So when you say pow, you have no doubt. You either missed it or you hit it. Because, hey, it's Going to ring the bell to use the Navy seals deal. You want to quit, you got to ring the bell.

[Jase Robertson]

That's true.

[Si Robertson]

Okay, but if you, if you want to keep going, like, I would be able to hit the bail.

[Jase Robertson]

Like if you had like a New Year's resolution, you wouldn't want.

[Si Robertson]

No, I ain't got a resolution.

[Willie Robertson]

You ain't gonna catch him on the technicality. You ain't gonna get him.

[Si Robertson]

I ain't gonna have a resolution. Solution?

[Phil Robertson]

No.

[Willie Robertson]

What'd you get for Christmas? Anything worthy. A note.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, what do I need for Christmas?

[Willie Robertson]

Nothing. I just asking if anybody surprised you with something worthy a note, that's all. Nothing.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, my wife told me she loved me.

[Willie Robertson]

That's a surprise.

[Si Robertson]

That's a surprise. That's right.

[Phil Robertson]

There you go. That's better than money.

[Willie Robertson]

My sister in law thought it'd be a good idea to give my whole family to flu.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, I'm glad you're around for me to take care of.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, you was down.

[Willie Robertson]

I had bad deal around my house.

[Phil Robertson]

I actually felt bad for you.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, well, I mean, it's fine. The, the real kick in the cods about it was like Brittany and then we're supposed to be gone all week, so I had to like my deer set up. Like I had everything planned out for the week and they come running back with the flu.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, good.

[Willie Robertson]

And then the whole time, you know, thanks to spy point and cell cameras, like, I'm just sitting there while I'm taking care of my sick wife and my two sick boys. And he's standing in front of the camera, standing in front of the camera, stand in front of camera.

[Si Robertson]

I'm like, I like, I like toothpick.

[Willie Robertson]

I just took it as some kind of learning lesson from the good lord. I don't know, focus on the things that matter. Maybe deer don't matter or something. I don't know. I was trying to find a positive in it so I just wouldn't be pissed off.

[Si Robertson]

Silver lining, you know, silver linings are important.

[Willie Robertson]

I was trying to find the lesson in it, but I just kept coming back to the just mad, just pure anger, but a little pride that my plan worked.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

I was like, you know, my plan did work. At least, at least I still understand how to kill a deer because it's been. All I've been doing the last three years is dragging people's deer.

[Jase Robertson]

That's true.

[Willie Robertson]

Fetch size, fetch God ones. I mean, that's just. That's all I've been doing.

[Si Robertson]

Dragging at the bottom of a Lake.

[Willie Robertson]

No, no, I agree. But I don't mind. Hey, you kill one this evening, I'll go drag it out for you. All you got to do call me. I don't mind doing that stuff. Not for my own.

[Jase Robertson]

I told actually, if you got both.

[Si Robertson]

Of you, I appreciate it. I appreciate everybody that was there.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, I went with the full intention of hopefully dragging out a deer. I did. I lost my shoe in the process. You know, ain't many people I dragged through briars for. But you want to.

[Si Robertson]

And it was three or four.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. So it was all good. Is there any. Any email worthy a note here before we wrap this baby up?

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, man, we got a bunch.

[Willie Robertson]

You got some weird voicemail or anything.

[Jase Robertson]

Over Hunter's ey got humongous when you. He was not ready for that at all. Hunter, are you okay?

[Willie Robertson]

Also leave us a rating 5 stars. Wherever you can find a Spotify, Apple podcast.

[Jase Robertson]

I will say else.

[Willie Robertson]

Amazon, I don't know. We're everywhere where if you're listening to a podcast, go there, click 5 stars if you like us. If you don't, don't click nothing. Just say, hey, good job. But a lot listening to us this far into it, you probably like us.

[Jase Robertson]

A lot of people did email in that want the Hunter Cam hunter camp.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

318-21-56559 is gonna be who you call to leave a voicemail.

[Phil Robertson]

Play it.

[Jase Robertson]

Hunters, what's up?

[Willie Robertson]

My name is Ryan and I am from Kentucky.

[Jase Robertson]

Brian's a tough one.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, that's somewhere. North Carolina, Tennessee.

[Jase Robertson]

That could be anywhere, but not near a big town. Arkansas, like that could be Oak Grove, middle of nowhere. Mississippi, Mississippi.

[Si Robertson]

Kakalax.

[Willie Robertson]

North Kakalaki. You and Stone got them, right? Didn't you say that?

[Phil Robertson]

Well, I named off three states, he said.

[Jase Robertson]

What city did he say?

[Willie Robertson]

You ain't never heard of it?

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, exactly. Okay, I got that part right.

[Willie Robertson]

You just said North Kakulaki.

[Jase Robertson]

Not near Charlotte.

[Si Robertson]

I only got one right.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, I was wondering, if y'all could have a superpower, what would it be and what would your superhero name be?

[Jase Robertson]

Superhero?

[Willie Robertson]

I like hearing Yalls wrestling name, sir. This ought to be fun. All right, y'all boys have a good one. And I appreciate it. And I wish I would upload every single day, but I know you can't. But I appreciate the entertainment. Y'all have a good day. All right now.

[Jase Robertson]

Hi, now.

[Willie Robertson]

All right, now, here's the deal.

[Si Robertson]

Superpower, what would you name be?

[Willie Robertson]

I want to fly. That's my super.

[Si Robertson]

All right. What's your name gonna be?

[Jase Robertson]

You too big to fly?

[Willie Robertson]

Well, yeah. I mean.

[Si Robertson]

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What do you mean, too big?

[Willie Robertson]

Like airborne elephant? I mean, I don't know.

[Si Robertson]

Ain't too big to fly.

[Willie Robertson]

You know, like an ostrich.

[Si Robertson]

Just. He'll be a jumbo jet.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, no. I'll make some racket now when I'm coming down. Hey, but yeah, I want to have Mallard man. There you go. I just want to fly. Like if out of all the ones. I just want to be able fly. I think it'd be cool, like if I just pick up and go.

[Si Robertson]

You're not gonna believe that's what I tell you. Okay, well, first, what do you.

[Phil Robertson]

I want to have night vision.

[Si Robertson]

Night vision.

[Phil Robertson]

And my superhero name would be Q Beam.

[Si Robertson]

You beam.

[Willie Robertson]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

I like it. Night vision. That's good, baby.

[Willie Robertson]

That's good.

[Si Robertson]

All right. What about J.D.

[Jase Robertson]

I. I've never really thought about this. And I want to say laser vision, but that kind of makes me sound like a psycho who's out to hurt people. But I would only hurt the bad.

[Si Robertson]

You could use it for good.

[Jase Robertson]

Use it for good?

[Phil Robertson]

Well, that's what Jay says when he goes plays poker with Sign them. He said he takes money from evil people and does good with it.

[Jase Robertson]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

I wanted to fly.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And my name would be Wood Duck.

[Willie Robertson]

Wood Duck.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Mallard man and Wood Duck.

[Si Robertson]

That's right.

[Jase Robertson]

An unlikely duo here to save the world from.

[Si Robertson]

Now you got to think about it. Something you could fly.

[Willie Robertson]

Just imagine size nickname be Woody. Woody, Woody, Buzz and Woody. Oh, Woody Woodpecker. I went with a much more modern Woody. Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

What just happened?

[Willie Robertson]

I don't know.

[Jase Robertson]

I mean, where would you fly to, though?

[Willie Robertson]

Wherever I wanted to. Isn't that the beauty of this?

[Jase Robertson]

I guess flying's the obvious.

[Si Robertson]

I already told you.

[Jase Robertson]

But I don't like helicopter.

[Si Robertson]

You know where I'd fly?

[Jase Robertson]

What if you fell?

[Phil Robertson]

Where would you fly?

[Willie Robertson]

Well, dang d. I'm a superhero, so I'm not going to think about.

[Si Robertson]

Where would I fly if I could fly?

[Willie Robertson]

You?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we've talked about it.

[Willie Robertson]

You'd fly to Venice. No, that's your favorite place. Well, hey, in the world then.

[Si Robertson]

I. We talked about it, and it has to do with pbs.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, boy.

[Willie Robertson]

That. That river in the desert.

[Si Robertson]

Nope. Oh, I would have liked to seen that. Oh, where? All this swimming on sand.

[Willie Robertson]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

And that's why I. It was on television. For real.

[Willie Robertson]

We saw it.

[Jase Robertson]

Are you talking about you'd Fly over to that lake where all the.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, there's something we don't know. It's got rings around it.

[Jase Robertson]

Saturn.

[Si Robertson]

Yep. I would fly to Saturn and go through the clouds and say, okay, now what's under these clouds? Cause I fix a light on this baby and find out.

[Jase Robertson]

He's about to. Light on Saturn.

[Si Robertson]

That's right.

[Jase Robertson]

Why Saturn?

[Willie Robertson]

I wouldn't go there.

[Jase Robertson]

Why not?

[Si Robertson]

You wouldn't go there? Why not?

[Jase Robertson]

That's really far away.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, it seems like it'd take a while.

[Si Robertson]

What if it's a solid gold planet?

[Jase Robertson]

It doesn't matter. It's going to take you too long to get back.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, I got.

[Jase Robertson]

And how much gold can you really hold?

[Si Robertson]

That's another thing. If I could fly, I'll be eternal. That goes with flying.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, he's just going straight Superman is what he's saying.

[Si Robertson]

No, I don't. No, no. Superman.

[Jase Robertson]

Would you have. Would you have like a special, like Thor has his hammer?

[Phil Robertson]

What Would you have that teacup?

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, he's already got that. He's already got his prop.

[Jase Robertson]

And it never goes empty.

[Si Robertson]

Always.

[Jase Robertson]

Forever.

[Si Robertson]

It's always full with ice, lemon crystals.

[Willie Robertson]

And I tea and that yeti cup double as a hammer. He could beat the hell out of you with it, too.

[Si Robertson]

There you go.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, you come try to knock him out the air. No, that ain't happening.

[Si Robertson]

Just think about it. Saturn is a solid gold. No, it's not one. Hey, I mean, I'm talking about 100% pure gold.

[Willie Robertson]

But you could finally tell us if the moon was made of cheese.

[Jase Robertson]

No, for a fact, Saturn is not pure gold.

[Si Robertson]

What do you mean ain't pure gold?

[Jase Robertson]

It's just not.

[Si Robertson]

You don't know that.

[Jase Robertson]

I think I do.

[Si Robertson]

That's the reason I want to go and light on it. Okay? Because it may be pure gold.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, will you swing by the moon and tell me if it's made of cheese?

[Jase Robertson]

Nobody's been there.

[Si Robertson]

No, because I'm scared of the rats that's on the moon.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, okay.

[Phil Robertson]

I don't want to burst your bubble, but Saturn is a gas planet and it's made out of gases.

[Jase Robertson]

That's not true either, Hunter.

[Si Robertson]

Nope, that ain't true either, Hunter.

[Jase Robertson]

Read a book.

[Phil Robertson]

Saturn is a gas giant planet and.

[Willie Robertson]

Therefore does not have a solid surface. Speaking of gas planet, I need to wrap.

[Si Robertson]

What are you getting at, Hunter? That's from Google.

[Phil Robertson]

NASA.

[Willie Robertson]

NASA can't be trusted.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, but that's the last.

[Phil Robertson]

They don't know.

[Si Robertson]

When it comes to space, they've been lying to us all these years. Cheers.

[Jase Robertson]

Thank you.

[Si Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Thank you. All right, here we. You know what? I'm gonna send us out here, but just real quick. To everybody in New Orleans.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

That is a terrible freaking ordeal. I've been right where those people were, and most of them were probably just there for a new year or a football game. I've been there. I've done that. And just some psychopath comes out and does evil. But this is the verse I got because of that. Ecclesiastes 8, 13. I also know it will not go well for evil people because they do not honor God like a shadow. They will not last. You're going out there to just do evil. Your time's coming. It's called Judgment Day. And that's all I got.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, and. And who was saying. This is the Almighty.

[Willie Robertson]

Amen, buddy.

[Si Robertson]

Okay. The one that cannot lie. You may think you get away with it here, you won't. You're going to stand before him and. Hey, you know he's got something for you.

[Willie Robertson]

Yep. We'll see y'all next time, right here in the duck call room. We're out.
