Date: October 23, 2025

Episode Overview

This lively episode finds the Duck Call Room crew deep in the heart of Duck Commander, swinging open their Instagram DMs and letting fans steer the conversation. What follows is a freewheeling, often hilarious Q&A where no topic is too odd or off-limits: from favorite movies and absurd injuries to body part sacrifices and testicular implants for dogs. True to form, Uncle Si and the gang keep things light-hearted and down-home southern, with plenty of off-the-cuff story swaps, friendly roasts, and a few surprisingly sincere moments.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Banter and Hunter’s Shirt (01:06–02:25)

• Hunter’s T-shirt becomes the first topic—a gift from his autistic girlfriend’s friends, reading “I love my hot autistic girlfriend.” The group lobs supportive jokes and explores the autism spectrum briefly.
  • Hunter: “My girlfriend is diagnosed with autism. Yeah, I mean, that's. That's really it.” (01:39)
  • Corey gives a simple definition of autism: “It’s a developmental condition that affects how people communicate, process information, and interact with others.” (02:26)
• The group jokes about Hunter’s popularity and how he’s finally “in the Hunter chair,” with Corey urging fans: “Spam the comments for Hunter needing a raise!” (04:15)

2. Fan Q&A From Instagram DMs (05:01–38:41)

A. If you could pick a new name, what would it be? (05:51–08:45)

• Corey would be “Jonas Danger”—inspired by a Weezer song.
• Phil jokes, “Show me the money,” or simply “Money.”
• Martin muses about name associations: “What’s the first person you think of with Van Damme? Kevin, the bass fisherman.” (08:07)
• Hunter chooses “Scott,” inspired by Scott Pilgrim, cue much ribbing about picking such a common name.

B. If you had to lose a body part—no pain or consequences—which would it be? (09:09–14:00)

• Toes, an ear, and appendix are suggested.
• Martin references vestigial organs: “Technically the most common thing—appendix…does that count as a body part?” (09:43)
• The conversation devolves (hilariously) into dog testicular implants—“Nudicles”—and their merch. Full comedic treatment is given to the topic, culminating with, “You can get dog testicle earrings!” (15:26) and “Jake Gyllenhaal is a spokesdog for Nudicles.” (13:50)

C. Closest experience that felt like magic (15:42–18:34)

• Corey goes with meeting a magician and his wedding day.
• Hunter recounts being a nervous child on stage at a magician show.

D. Most absurd way you’ve gotten hurt (18:34–20:09)

• Martin: “Sleeping! I woke up with a knot under my shoulder.”
• Phil tells a grim scorpion sting story: “Don’t pop the infection pocket on your elbow…you could see the poison running to my chest!” (18:44)
• The guys agree often “sleep injuries” are the most absurd.

E. Backhanded compliments (19:53–24:10)

• Martin recalls, “Martin, are you getting skinny again?” (that also implies he was fat before)—with the group debating if “skinny” ever truly applied.
• Phil shares: “My nephew said, ‘I was shocked because…what you’re saying actually makes sense!’" (23:18)

F. Worst smelling place you’ve ever been (24:34–27:40)

• Phil: “A chicken house.” Martin: “Duck hunting lodge near a feedlot.” Corey: “A plane after my son Carter’s legendary fart.” (25:32)
• Hunter: Cleaning rotten soybeans under a combine.
• Porta-potties and garbage trucks also get honorable mention—all in vivid detail.

G. Random oddities & a visit from "Oscar Meyer Weiner" the dog (27:47–30:39)

• Discussion about reading with your finger derailed by the on-air arrival of a wiener dog, “Oscar Meyer Weiner.”
• Conversations about getting the dog “nudicles,” puppy ear softness, and dog nostalgia.

H. Who would last longest fighting Stone? (30:12–31:42)

• Phil and Corey agree: “Not us. Stone is a monster.” Stories of jiu-jitsu challenges gone awry.

3. Strange Brains and Impulses (41:43–44:10)

• Hunter, earnestly: “I always want to touch a hot stove, just to see if it’s really hot.” (41:54)
• The crew is baffled—Martin: “I’ve never looked at a stove and thought, man, I wanna touch that.” (43:02)
• Phil: “These days, I want to do things, but my brain says, ‘You can’t, idiot.’” (43:59)

4. Absurd Things You Believed/Did as a Kid (45:19–49:51)

• Martin: “Peeing on an electric fence. It hurt!“ (45:27)
• Phil: “My uncles tricked me into burying golf balls, told me they'd become hardballs. They lied.”
