Martin
He wants us to be funny.
Sigh
Funny?
Martin
I'm not in a mood to be funny.
Sigh
No, I'm witty.
Godwin
Or witty. Nope, you missed it.
Sigh
Not a witty.
Phil
It's out.
Sigh
Nope, not witty, boys.
Martin
Well, here we go.
Sigh
All right. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We're back. What's so funny?
Martin
We just didn't even say, like, what do you want to talk about?
Sigh
Oh, we ain't got to, man. Why? Why?
Martin
This is literally shooting from the hip at its finest.
Sigh
We are not going to break what has worked for roughly 500 episodes.
Phil
Wow. If it doesn't wrong.
Sigh
I already know what we're going to talk about.
Martin
We normally at least say, now go.
Sigh
Ahead and pull it up. I know what you're ready to blast me for was I. Wait, no, ahead and pull it up. Go ahead.
Godwin
Okay. I was going to say, is this the steak dinners you and Godwin eight?
Sigh
No, no. I know what I'm about to get blasted for, so I figured let's just get. Let's just get it out right off the top. I want side to watch roughly a minute video of me and then you can call me every name you want to. Silas. Ready? S. I know it's coming.
Martin
This is Martin on Instagram. Don't you J. Martin Duckman. There's. I don't know how to do the volume. There's the button.
Phil
What is that? A snake?
Sigh
What is that cotton mouth?
Phil
That look like a snake?
Sigh
It is a snake. It's a cottonmouth.
Phil
Throw his head off.
Sigh
We play right here.
Martin
See, that's what you would think.
Phil
He's up here.
Sigh
Can't live here. We're here too much. Wait, watch it. Just watch close. Watch this part. Look out now. If you get back to the water, I'll let you go. Did you see that sucker spin out and come right at me? Try to stand your ground. Problem. Go on. Go on and get. Go on and get.
Martin
And he let it go back into the water.
Phil
Oh, he let it go back.
Sigh
I let it go.
Martin
The top comment says, I'm telling on you. And that was me. And now I'm telling on you.
Sigh
Yeah, I just figured we'd go ahead and rip this band aid off. I could go ahead and.
Godwin
Oh, yeah, don't worry. I was gonna make a comment for you.
Sigh
Well, look, watch and we'll talk about why I did what I did. But here's what I know. This is not Phil Robertson approved. I'm very well aware of what you would have done and what Phil would.
Phil
Have done would have blew his head off.
Sigh
Exactly. But I didn't have nothing to blow his head off with.
Phil
And then I got me a big sick whoop. What you say?
Sigh
Well, see, here's the bar out of it now.
Martin
Now we're developing a big problem now.
Sigh
Here's the issue with that. And the reason I didn't do that, because I wanted to. Right. Because I. I do trot around that barn often.
Phil
Yeah.
Sigh
Like, I mean, that is a place that we keep decoys and crunchy slither.
Martin
What do we call it?
Sigh
What? Does this have a name? No, he does not have a name. But what I didn't want to do was the boy. The boys are right there. You don't see them in there, but they're in the Kawasaki looking at me watching all this. I didn't want to go get a stick and whoop him and then them think, yeah, that, oh, I can get a stick and whoop a snake when they can't swing hard enough or know where to hit or know that there. There is actually. When you kill a snake with a stick, choosing of the stick is very important. That ain't just go pick one and get after it. Like you, you. You can't have one that's going to break halfway down because then you're just bit like, you know, not a switch. I was trying to set a good example. Not necessarily like venomous snakes are. They're their own thing. If you, if you're where I. If I'm just driving down the road, I'm not going to run over you. We're good. You go do your thing.
Martin
I'm swerving.
Sigh
But if you're aware I spend a lot of time. I do tend to opt for self preservation and that you. He didn't intentionally jump at me. Look, if you would have been there. That's why I.
Martin
Hold on.
Sigh
That's why I got to laughing because I saw him. He got to go in so fast but couldn't move and he like spun out. That's why. That's what caused him.
Martin
That snake jumped at you?
Sigh
No, not at all. Intentionally, unintentionally, he did come towards me.
Martin
Jumping snakes must go.
Sigh
I was. Whenever he did it, I said, oh, when I post this video, cue the comments about that time when they was a kid and they got chased by a snake, man. Like this. That's what people think of. Whatever. I got chased by him. Like, I wasn't worried about him because he was just trying to go so fast. He hit like a little ramp. There was a little root right there. And then that propelled him.
Phil
Propelled him in there.
Sigh
Yeah. So fight or flight is real, whether you're a human or a snake. Because he was just trying to get away. He was like the Robin Hood. Buddy, let me go.
Martin
Cartoon snakes.
Sigh
Yeah, he's fine, man. That's fine. I don't look as cold as it is today. I hope he went and found him a nice log to get up under for the rest of winter. When did you become. I don't.
Martin
I don't even know. The apologist to. To the vile creatures of the woods.
Phil
Yeah, I can't. I can't remember who it was. It was yesterday.
Sigh
I got to get better.
Phil
I showed me a picture of a cotton. Not a cotton mouth, but a copperhead.
Sigh
Yeah.
Phil
And that's about the biggest copperhead I've ever seen. That. That.
Sigh
Oh, man. You won't say a big. And you get on my Buddy Mark Daniel Jr. Instagram. He posted one on his story yesterday. Magnum Copperhead.
Martin
Did he kill it?
Sigh
You know, Mark ain't messing with a snake.
Phil
That's really a pretty snake.
Godwin
It is pretty.
Sigh
Yeah.
Phil
But that joker, I'd say he was about that big around probably, what, all three and a half foot long?
Sigh
Yeah, this one's a big one. Hey, look, I'm out here teaching my kids about cotton mouse. But you know what's even cooler? I can now teach them. You don't have to go to the post office to get a duck stamp. You can go to duck stamp.com, get the all new digital duck stamp, and we're protected, we're safe, we're good, we're legal. All the things duck stamp.com. get the all new digital duck stamp.
Godwin
So what did your boys say about this?
Sigh
Well, we sat down and had a little coaching moment after it that I posted to my Instagram stories, but it was just, we don't play with snakes. We don't. And then they ended it with, let's go find Crunchy. Like, they. They're still stuck on the beaver.
Martin
And where is the beaver?
Godwin
Crunchy?
Sigh
I don't know. We finally got it where there's no flow. So he's not a foe anymore. Right now he won't be a foe until we hit some more rain and get flow back going. So he's. We leveled the pipes out, so he's not mad at us and we're not mad at him right now, but I guess he's still out there. But yeah, no, we just had a good coaching moment and they have since. It's hilarious. Like every day we don't play with snakes. Cotton mouse are venomous. Yeah, it's. It's funny the words that they hang on to, because that's been a mess. That is one that they are very well aware of, that we do not play with snakes. So, um, you know, they don't know that we can play with them.
Phil
You might miss the dentist.
Sigh
That's why I haven't. I haven't handled one. I haven't even handled a ribbon snake other than the one in my backyard in front of them. So I just am not going to handle any snake until they're old enough to know.
Phil
Now, the fish snake better looks just about like a cottonmouth, but he's a little bit different.
Godwin
Yeah, that's why that boy got bit at the snake rodeo and had to go to the hospital while we were pulling in.
Phil
They look a lot alike, but, you know.
Sigh
Yeah, it's.
Phil
It's that triangular head you got to look for.
Martin
Philip just said the words. That's why that boy got bit at that snake radio when we were pulling up.
Godwin
Oh, yeah.
Phil
Yeah, he was.
Martin
No, he got bit because he was.
Phil
There to be there. He was walking down by the dock and look, there's a snake there. He jumped in thinking it was a fish snake. Yeah, well, it wasn't a fish day. It was a real deal boy.
Sigh
Yeah, I don't.
Phil
And he popped him.
Sigh
Yeah, I knew what that one was when I was. When I rounded the corner and saw him laid out.
Phil
Oh, yeah.
Sigh
Because only cottonmouths do that.
Martin
You know why he was laid out in the road.
Sigh
He's getting him a little sunlight.
Phil
No.
Martin
So you could Hit the gas.
Sigh
I just don't. I think that's why so many people are scared of snakes, is because they're taught from an early age to be scared of snakes.
Martin
Thank you, mom and dad.
Sigh
You don't have to be scared of them. You can respect them and move on.
Phil
That's the word.
Sigh
Like you. You don't have to fear.
Phil
Yeah.
Sigh
They're not actively hunting you. Like, they're not to be feared, but they are to be respected. Give a little bit of room and like, you can all get along. That's my only. I don't want to put. I don't want to be responsible for instilling any irrational fears in my children.
Phil
Well, I can tell it, you know, if you go and say, well, okay, let's get my family a stick. Then you find your stick about two foot long.
Sigh
Yeah.
Phil
Well, no, when you go look for a stick, make it five or six feet long.
Sigh
Yeah. And make sure it ain't rotten.
Phil
Yeah. And make sure it's green. Or when it hits him. Yeah.
Godwin
Because you're gonna fight with it.
Phil
It ain't gonna break.
Sigh
Because you know how I've learned the lesson of picking the right stick because I chose the wrong one.
Phil
Yeah.
Sigh
A few times and you get about halfway down and that thing snaps off and you're just left there with a nub and you're like, now what? You're too deep in it now, you know, and so. But I got to get a little better. It is time. This is the time of year to me when you encounter the most snakes, like when they're on the move trying to find them a place for winter.
Phil
Winter.
Sigh
This is a. This is a time where if you have children and you're going to be around that kind of stuff and you need to get rid of them, it's a good time for a 22 rat shot to just kind of keep on you at all times. And I didn't have it because I just wasn't expecting to see one. I don't. I don't know why that place that we hunt doesn't have a ton of cotton mouse, which is crazy, because that's funny.
Phil
And like, fails. When I bought that property, that place.
Sigh
Got the most cotton mouse anywhere I've ever seen. Hey, I've been a lot of place.
Phil
Oh, no.
Sigh
Phil Robertson's property got the most mouse I have ever. I tried.
Phil
Hey, when you can kill like 5 or 600 cotton mouse, that's a breeding grounds, boys.
Sigh
I mean, yeah, there are so many of.
Phil
Because we shot them Just in the next year, you'd start. Start out, you'd come by and look at a hole down there. Had a little water. It'd be five in it.
Sigh
Yeah. That's crazy. How many are there?
Phil
I'm like you. That's the most snakes I've ever seen in one area.
Sigh
Yeah, well, sigh. You finally kind of got the roof matching the basement, huh? You got new teeth and you got new boots, buddy. Throw that boot up there. You just did it. Let's see that thing. Hey, look at them. To Covis. And look at all the scuffs on the bottom. That sucker been. He been stepping out in those boots, man.
Martin
Stepping out and stepping high.
Sigh

Phil
That's it, boys.
Godwin
So who's keeping up with all the blinds down at the land now?
Phil
Stone.
Godwin
Stone is. Is he fighting? Oh, yeah, the moccasin.
Phil
Oh, yeah, yeah. Phil says the the Beavers and the Moxins were in cahoots. It's a conspiracy. The beavers build and the cotton mouth, you know, patrol it. Because every time you come up on Beavertown LB4 or 5.
Sigh
Yeah. They generally live hand in hand.
Phil
Yeah, yeah, they're. They're real fond of each other.
Sigh
Yeah.
Martin
All right, I got to do it. I found a video that to just. Just for some other people to chime in on this cotton mouth.
Godwin
The cotton mouth, I think, is just evil. Yeah. I mean, you can make a correlation with the evil one embodying a snake, because once you get to know a cottonmouth real well, would you.
Phil
What would you say, Phil? They have no fear.
Sigh
None.
Godwin
They.
Phil
They will bite you.
Godwin
Oh, yeah. And so that's the point I was making. I'm way more scared of a cottonmouth moccasin than I am an alligator.
Sigh
Phil says, oh, now, say, did that video not show you that they very much have fear of you?
Phil
Well, it.
Sigh
He jumped, he ran.
Martin
I was actually trying to find that video. Phil blowing that one into smithereens, and I was just gonna put it up there. But apparently unashamed talked about snakes just as much as we.
Sigh
Here's the difference between me and the Crocodile Man. Yeah. I mean, that's a core video from my childhood. Not even. I mean, I have watched that one.
Phil
I remember the day.
Sigh
I think it was like Duckman 7 maybe is the one that. That's.
Phil
You and Phil went. Caught a couple of cotton mouths because you wanted it.
Sigh
I caught a bunch of them, yeah.
Phil
Yeah. But anyway, we still had them in the sack. Everything, all the filming was done. Well, we was all standing around the circle. Bill got that AR15 in his hand with 30 round clip on it, and he told whoever had the sack, said, hey, dump them right here in the middle. As soon as he dumped him out, you just hear.
Sigh
Yeah, he run 30. He run 30 rounds into the mud.
Godwin
Is that when them boys came to exterminate the exterminator?
Sigh
Yeah. Billy and the exterminate didn't know that's what we were going to do with them cotton mouths, or I may not have caught so many of them. I mean, that was just kind of like a ritualistic bloodletting there. But. But Phil said, you're going to go catch them. And I was like, yeah, I had some snake tongs. I wouldn't. I do not mess with venomous snakes by their tail. I do not. I don't play that game. Well, you got.
Phil
When you do that.
Godwin
Yeah.
Phil
The chances of you get bit.
Sigh
Yeah.
Phil
Is high.
Godwin
How old were you and Phil when y' all went squirrel hunting and you had to shoot your way out because all the snakes.
Phil
Oh, that was. No, that was when I was at Junk City with him when he was up there teaching. He went down the Arkansas, Louisiana line, which is just a dirt road forever, and he come by the house one day and say, hey, I found him. Let's go kill him. I watched he squirrel. He said, I found son. So, hey, we get there park, we're going in the woods. I'm already about 50 yards away from him. And he said, oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. He said, forever squirrel. There's 10 cottonmouths. Look, I hadn't even walked 100 yards. I mean, all about 20. Well, walked in the woods 20 yards, and I look, there are two cottonmouths and a copperhead. So I started to go around them and I said, wait a minute, I may have to come back this way. Boom. Boom. Boom. Blew the heads off. Well, I didn't go but 100 yards. Well, it's starting to get dark, yo. And I said, well, I bet I was sitting on. It's just cut over. I sitting on a stump, and the stump went down in the creek, you know, and I heard. Kept hearing something, kept hearing something, couldn't. Couldn't find what I was hearing. Finally, I was. I was turning around looking for squirrels, and every time I'd do it, bark would fall off that tree, down that to the root system. Well, the big cottonmouth down in the water, he taught her to squirrel up there. Here you come. You know, I finally helped Boom get back down there where you broke Boom. But anyway, it was about 30 minutes to dark. It's getting dark. So I said, you know, you can't see it better. I better start easing my way back.
Godwin
And, you know, there's a lot of snakes.
Phil
Oh, yeah. So look, I start going back towards the road. 27 rounds later, I make it to the road. Well, I've shot a box of shells and two, you know. So Phil pulls up with the headlights on me. He said, man, you tore up, did you? And I said, yeah. He said, where they at? I said, right where I shot him. And he said, oh, you've been shooting snakes. I said, you got it. I said, hey, if you're coming back here, don't ever, don't bother stopping by the house.
Sigh
Don't call me.
Phil
Yeah, don't call me, cuz I ain't coming.
Sigh
Yeah, I'm out, boy.
Phil
Yeah, I'm out when it's that many steak.
Martin
I went to Dutman 7, and I just. You know how it has the most replayed part on YouTube videos? And I clicked it right at the beginning. Most replayed, and it's just Phil biting.
Godwin
A duck's head, crunching it, the best of.
Martin
Oh, it's Duckman 5.
Sigh
Yeah, well, yeah, I May have been off. Little bit on there.
Martin
Yeah. It starts with the snake.
Phil
Yeah, I was fix to say I throw it up.
Sigh
I want to watch it too, even though I've seen it. 700, working with the beavers and cahoots here. All that bus need killing every one of them.
Martin
And Conos, the beaver and the Congo are in cahoots. And now Martin's saving their lives.
Phil
Here's another critter.
Sigh
Here's another critter. Look right here. See?
Phil
Yeah.
Sigh
See that sucker right there? Now he got teeth on him like a needle. That's a needle nose, gar. Now what are you doing laying out in there? You know these suckers.
Martin
You didn't pay us for this.
Sigh
That's funny.
Phil
Needle knows God.
Sigh
I don't think this is the one where he says it though, is it? Oh, yeah, that's it.
Phil
That man, that man loves what he's doing right there.
Godwin
Yeah, he did. He loves just working out there.
Phil
When they tried to sip in on me. Every morning at daylight.
Sigh
This is a daily ritual. Uh oh.
Godwin
Uh oh.
Phil
Look at that.
Sigh
Get him before he gets you. Bop right in the back of the head.
Phil
Oh, oh. That's what I'm talking about.
Martin
That's not what he did to crocodile.
Phil
Blow that head off.
Martin
Look at that thing flopping around. It jumping like it jumped at you, Martin.
Sigh
Well, yeah, because it ain't got no head no more. I will say, Phil, you know, we go through this a lot, but he was the best at like hip shooting with that.22. Like he could hold it out and know it. He wasn't looking at the scope. Halftime he knew exactly where that thing was aimed just by holding it out one handed.
Martin
Oh, wait, here's another one.
Sigh
Oh, yeah, he killed. He killed a piss out of him, though. Now this may be it. She's about to go about four rounds in there, I think.
Phil
Oh, there's a little more than that. Yeah, look at that. Whoa. See that color? See how he hides up in the old root wads where you walk right by him?
Sigh
And therein is the problem. Cause he'll sure pop you. My little sister got bit by one. Her leg got that big around. Turned solid black. Now the crocodile man. Yeah, here it is on tv. Will get up here and mess with him. But I guarantee you one thing. I ain't never seen him grab a.
Phil
Hold of one of them by the tail.
Sigh
See, here's what I do.
Phil
Here's the difference between me and a crocodile man right here.
Sigh
I mean, you see, he never looked.
Phil
At that scope and, hey, he shunts. Look, he shot that sucker to pieces, too.
Sigh
I'm telling you, man, he was. He was the greatest hip shooter with a 1022 you've ever seen.
Phil
Oh, man.
Martin
If you want to watch that for yourself, it is Duckman five traditions. The first ten minutes are Phil just in the woods raking and shooting snakes.
Sigh
That's what I'm talking about.
Martin
Like I said, that's the difference between me and the crocodile scope on the gun. Never lifts it above his head.
Phil
I pull that thing out where I could really see how bad he shot him up. Yeah, he shot him to piece.
Sigh
I know.
Phil
That's all. He didn't waste any of them stingers.
Sigh
No. He never had to look at the scope. That is always incredible. I remember always just sitting there watching it, like, how did he do that? Just hit, shoot.
Phil
Just. He didn't even. I wasn't even paying attention. Just, just.
Sigh
No, he'd be looking at you while he did it. It was incredible. When you buy the duck stamp, look, you're not just buying a piece of paper so you can go duck up. What you're actually doing is prot. Habitat.
Martin
Entire marsh.
Sigh
Yeah, the whole. The whole thing. The spiders, the bugs, the worms, the forward. There you go. Look, that money goes straight to finding habitat that ducks, deer, fish, and all God's critters depend on. We tell folks all the time. Do you want your grandkids to see what real duck hunting looks like? Well, this is a way to help ensure that you can right. The flooded woods, the marshlands, the mallards. They don't just happen by accident. Somebody's got to take care of it. And the ducks nest. Been keeping Wetlands wild for 90 years now, so I bet size bought a duck stamp for nearly all those years.
Martin
How many duck stamps do you think you've bought?
Sigh
All of them.
Phil
A lot.
Sigh
It's simple. Look, pick up your 2025 federal duck stamp at your post office sporting goods store or the easiest way, online in.
Martin
A matter of minutes.
Sigh
There you go.
Phil
They've gone digital on us, boys.
Sigh
There you go. You do it for the ducks, do it for your grandkids, and do it because it's the right thing to do. Look, you download the duck stamp from duck stamp.com, put it in your wallet, and then whether you've got service or not, you've always got your duck stamp. It's that simple. It's right.
Phil
There you go.
Sigh
You never have to worry about. And if you're like, well, I want a paper one, guess what? Come March they're going to mail you one. They're going to put a mailbox. Look, you know the drill. Duck stamp dot com.
Phil
Duck.
Sigh
It only takes two minutes, so let's get it done. That's duck stamp dot com.
Phil
Duck.
Godwin
He said your younger sister got bit. Who was it?
Phil
Oh, Jen.
Godwin
What happened with.
Phil
Me and her were playing hide and go seek. We had a drained. Was kitchen drain drained out in just a bunch of dewberry pine. You know, it was always wet there. We run through there. Okay. I thought the snake come in.
Martin
Was in the kitchen.
Phil
Come in and said, I got snake bit, you know. And mama, you know. Well, let me look at. Well, what. It wasn't one hole. Yeah, you know, it's just one hole. And said, no, it's bright stuck, you know. Well, an hour later, her legs swollen up like that back around. And it was the ugliest color. It just. Every color under the rainbow. That's what her leg looked like. And it was twice the size of her. And then you could see. No, it was a distinct too dang well. So they rushed to the hospital, kept her overnight. Hey, you got over it. There you go.
Martin
Well, I'm with Phil.
Sigh
Kill them all.
Martin
It's the difference between me and the crocodile man.
Phil
Yeah, I don't play with him too. You don't know how many people. How many times I've shot just that head like that right there. And I just. And it didn't make a difference how far. Hey, he'd just be laying there headless.
Martin
The snake episode. So I hate it. I really don't like them. Hey, I'm not afraid of them. Like. Like my wife is, but I'm not.
Godwin
I mean, I. The king snakes, I let them live, you know, I mean, when I'm mowing the yard, I will avoid them. But every other snake. Nope. I'm.
Sigh
Sad, man.
Godwin
I mean. No, but just because I read.
Phil
Well, the key snake kills the bad one.
Godwin
That's right. I let them live.
Martin
See, I'm not smart enough to know. I got a. Send Martin a picture after they're dead and say, what did I just kill?
Sigh
Yeah, he always said, what is this? I say dead every time.
Godwin
Well, what about the guy who. Who chases the pythons that we met in.
Sigh
Oh, big. Yeah, Big king, big boxer.
Phil
Yeah, he's.
Sigh
He's decided that boxing humans wasn't good enough. So he goes and grabs pythons by the back of the head and pulls them out of holes. And he works with that python cowboy guy.
Phil
Yeah.
Sigh
And then they kill them and then they make stuff out of them. I tried to get side to go because he was auctioning off a hunt. I was like, sigh. All right, if you'll go with me.
Godwin
No, Johnny Lee, see if you can.
Sigh
Pull up, go grab a big dummy, dummy python out of a hole in Everglades.
Phil
18 foot long.
Martin
What's that?
Sigh
Huh?
Godwin
What is that called?
Sigh
It's. I mean, you look up python cowboy. That's probably the guy that's the most famous for it.
Martin
And that's what they do for like a job or.
Sigh
Well, because pythons are not supposed to be here. So people get them as a pet and when they get outgrow the cage and rather than killing them.
Phil
Yep. They turn it loose.
Sigh
They turn them loose, now they down.
Phil
Florida's got a problem with it.
Sigh
Yeah. And now like you go to South Florida, I mean there's 18 foot pythons.
Martin
Yeah, I'm looking at one. And it, I don't know when they.
Godwin
Were auctioning off this, this hunt, I mean, he told people, he said, you will work. I mean, you're going to have to get in the water and work.
Martin
I got to work to work.
Sigh
Yeah.
Godwin
Well, it's going to be real.
Phil
I ain't all work.
Godwin
I ain't going to do it.
Sigh
But kind of their deal in South Florida is they remove invasive species. So like stuff where humans have created a problem, like pythons, iguanas, and I think Egyptian geese, maybe they go down and they, they, they eradicate them to the best of their abilities.
Martin
Timeout.
Sigh
Yeah.
Martin
Did you just say the words Egyptian geese in Florida?
Sigh
Yeah. There's a problem there.
Martin
How did that even occur?
Sigh
Because who got lost? People.
Martin
Which migration?
Sigh
The same, the same way. The same way. We ended up with a Brazilian imported fire ant here. That causes all sorts of trouble.
Martin
Egyptian geese.
Sigh
Yeah, he ugly thing. Yeah. So yeah, he's ugly. But that's what happens, man. Humans do what they do. And so now there's a problem. Now you've displaced all your native stuff. So they're going in and trying to eradicate is that's a good thing.
Martin
But like whenever they, you know when you go to the pet and zoo and they're like, here, you want to hold this snake?
Sigh
Yeah. No, you never do.
Martin
I've never. I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be honest. I don't think I've ever touched a living snake now.
Sigh
I'm not a big proponent.
Godwin
I don't think I have either.
Sigh
Like, I'm not, I don't think that should be a thing. Like just because like, there's some people.
Martin
In the comments right now with pets now.
Sigh
Oh, absolutely. And look, I'm glad that you love them and you care for them and I hope you're a responsible pet snake owner, but the truth is most people aren't. And you can't flush him like you do to goldfish. Like you get tired of him and.
Martin
Look, end up with a pet tiger.
Sigh
Yeah. I mean, where's. Where does it. Why do we have to domesticate everything?
Godwin
And that reminds me of a story. We had a camp in Bosco and something was in the toilet and we couldn't. We weren't sure what it was. And so we got a broom and a. And a piece of string, made a noose. And the next time we saw it, we snatched it and we pulled a five foot snake out of that toilet. I'm telling you, it was five foot.
Martin
Snake out of a toilet.
Sigh
Yes.
Godwin
Yeah, it was humongous. I mean, there was 10 people there looking at it.
Sigh
Really?
Godwin
It must have come up through the cess pond, you know what I mean? Up the pipe.
Sigh
Oh.
Martin
So I saw it. Okay. You know, remember our friend Quick Quigley? Andrew Quigley.
Sigh
Yeah.
Martin
Listen to us on Spotify so much. We said, dude, if you ever end up here.
Sigh
Yeah.
Martin
You got a seat.
Sigh
Yeah.
Martin
Our Irishman, he flew all the way from Ireland.
Sigh
Yeah.
Martin
Guess what is on the loose in a forest outside of Kells.
Sigh
Where's Kels? Ireland.
Martin
Ireland.
Sigh
Oh, okay. I don't know.
Martin
A lion? No, it's like our black panther and it's showing up all over Ireland. Facebook. Hold on, here's another photo.
Sigh
And this isn't like Shaggy riding a giraffe.
Martin
No, this isn't Shaggy riding. This is real photographs from Ireland.
Sigh
Oh, that's a line.
Godwin
Oh, yeah.
Martin
You would think it is a lion, but the authorities had to get involved, obviously.
Sigh
Is this like the monkeys?
Martin
Oh, it's better. It's just a dog with a bad haircut.
Sigh
Really?
Phil
A dog with a bad haircut? That's good.
Martin
Everybody in town thought I was thinking.
Phil
It was a dog. I was, I was thinking when it was a dog, just away from the rear end.
Sigh
The lion, like animal roaming around the woods in East Clare is in fact a very friendly mouse. A Newfoundland dog.
Phil
Yeah, I loved it.
Martin
So all of Ireland's going crazy over.
Sigh
Is that not animal abuse? Oh, look what they did to that poor dog.
Godwin
Harassment. Yeah.
Martin
I mean, if it was for Halloween, I get it. They wanted to call him Mufasa for the day. But that is a wild haircut. But literally all like. A ton of people were scared.
Sigh
I guess they thought there was a.
Martin
Line in their neighborhood.
Sigh
That's the definition of that. You're so ugly, you ought to shave your butt and walk backwards.
Godwin
That's it.
Sigh
I mean, that's the definition of that old suit.
Godwin
Shaved.
Sigh
That girl was so ugly, she had to shave her butt and walk backwards, you know?
Martin
Oh, man. But Andrew sent me that, and I laughed and laughed the other night, and I said, I gotta wait for the right.
Phil
That's good. That's good.
Sigh
Garda. The Irish people not speak English. What's garden?
Martin
They speak Irish, man.
Sigh
Is it. It's all. It's its own thing.
Martin
They got a couple languages that they were okay over in Ireland.
Sigh
Yeah, I didn't know. That's interesting.
Martin
I believe it's Gaelic, maybe.
Sigh
Okay.
Martin
Really making that up. I had a dog named Dublin, though. So shout out to our good friends in Ireland. And they're. They're lying, roaming around the country.
Sigh
I just expected Irish police for it to say police. I don't know. I didn't expect Garda. What Irish people speak the Irish language? Gaelic.
Martin
Gaelic, yeah.
Sigh
That's what Hunter's nodding. Gaelic.
Martin
40% of.
Sigh
As a guy who just visited a ren fair, he should know. Why are you laughing on her? You don't think I snoop? Your.
Martin
But only about 72,000 of the good folks of Ireland spe speak that.
Sigh
How many people are in Ireland?
Martin
Well, see, that's. They didn't give me a percentage. I don't know. But Ireland just, you know, they just throwing out whatever language they feel like the day.
Sigh
That's fine. Hey, good for them, man. That's kind of what we do. English, redneck, Spanish, something else.
Godwin
I mean, all mixed together.
Sigh
Yeah, it's kind of an interesting hodgepodge. Kind of a melting pot, if you will. Say, I heard you had a good weekend finally. Yep. Did you?
Phil
I won at poker.
Sigh
Whoa.
Godwin
And hey, did he win? He. He changed his game. He's been reading books and watching videos. He come in there and he wipes the table out.
Martin
You went to books a million and got a poker for dummies?
Phil
Well, I was due. Let's say, put it that way, you were due.
Godwin
It's those lucky new teeth he's got.
Sigh
Oh, he had everybody distracted. You just kept smiling. I couldn't see, so I said, hey, y', all, help me pay for these new teeth.
Godwin
He kept smiling. Everybody thought he was bluffing.
Sigh
So what'd you. How. What did you take down?
Phil
Yeah, Who'd you hurt all the Regular bunch, everybody.
Sigh
Did you get Jace?
Phil
No, Jason played.
Godwin
They skipped out.
Phil
He skipped out.
Sigh
Okay.
Martin
Because I was much funner when you get Jason's or Willie's money.
Sigh
Yeah, well, he.
Godwin
But he did get Fox, bull, chicken, nerd mayo. Oh, yeah. Even though. But cuts. Daddy was there. They all were. And me.
Sigh
Do y' all call Yalls Poker game Animal Farm?
Martin
Yeah. What's your name?
Phil
Oh, no, no. Because that's what's so funny.
Martin
What do they call you?
Phil
I'll be telling somebody. I'll be telling somebody about playing poker. And I said, oh yeah, you play with my uncle. Y' all know what his name? Steve. And I said, no, I don't plan it with Steve. He said, oh, well, you probably know him as Bull.
Sigh
Yeah. I said, okay, so bull, fox, chicken.
Phil
Yeah.
Sigh
Fart man. Right.
Martin
Now each other's real.
Godwin
Hey, Smokey. But Smokey don't smoke anymore. So now he had to quit.
Sigh
He smoked.
Phil
He had a stamp put in his heart.
Godwin
Yeah. And hey, thank you. I'm glad he's alive and doing well. We love you, Smokey.
Martin
I mean, Smokeless.
Phil
Smokers. We changed his name from Smokey to Smokeless.
Godwin
If we could video this game, I'm telling you.
Phil
Oh no.
Godwin
It would be the greatest ever. I want to put cameras in the table and then side.
Sigh
Do you have a nickname? Are you just.
Phil
Yeah, they say I'm the 401k. 401k?
Sigh
Yeah. There's a lot of truth to that. You. You are an economic stimulus package at a poker table. That's for sure.
Martin

Did you see those NBA players that were. That got arrested for playing poker?
Godwin
I heard about it, but tell me more.
Martin
That these guys making like 20, 30 million dollars a year and they decided to invite people over play poker with them and they had a X ray table to read everybody else's cards.
Sigh
No.
Martin
100. And cheated and just stole from all these.
Sigh
And this is outside of the. The people in the NBA that were shaving points or whatever.
Martin
They got arrested at the same time.
Sigh
Oh, okay.
Martin
But.
Sigh
But this was all one big sting.
Martin
Oh, yeah.
Sigh
Oh, okay. This was all part of that. Well, I saw them two baseballs got popped yesterday for throwing intentional balls because people were prop betting on.
Martin
They had.
Phil
Philip. Phillip said it. I would love. I would love to. If I had the money like Willie does, I would buy the cameras and film people playing.
Sigh
Yeah.
Phil
The group. I've got not to cheat on it. Just where I can show you how crazy they play.
Godwin
I'd love to be the commentator.
Phil
No, no, no.
Sigh
Who's watching?
Godwin
Look at this.
Martin
They had fancy glasses on where they could see it.
Phil
Yeah.
Godwin
Oh, wow.
Martin
So they'd look at their glasses and it would tell them what their opponent's cards were. And then they basically. Which. You know, if you go to an NBA player's house and lose $2 million, I got to question what you're doing, too. That's a bad call.
Godwin
Yeah, yeah. That ain't a bad streak. You mean you're getting beat. It's a. It's a plan.
Sigh
What's even funnier is if in that deal, like you're the dealer and you're dealing off the bottom of the deck. So then they're trying to cheat you, but then you just end up doe. Popp.
Godwin
You can see every car.
Sigh
But I'm saying, like, just if you end up.
Phil
That's why in the west. Old west, lot of people got to kill playing poker.
Sigh
Oh, yeah. They'd have been dead.
Phil
Dealing off bottom deck. You catch him, he shoots you.
Sigh
Yeah. Or, you know, the movie rounders.
Phil
That was one of the things that I used to, you know, I said, well, everybody says. Well, they all. They're all cheating.
Sigh
Everybody cheat.
Phil
Yeah, everybody cheats.
Sigh
Well, y' all play crazy enough. It feels like somebody's got it.
Phil
That's what I was. Why I would love to film it. Okay. Because I give you example. His brother. We invited Danny Young. Danny showed up and he clipped him. He clipped everybody for 45, $4,500.
Sigh
Yeah.
Phil
Well, when we're going out after games over, I said, danny, we're going to play again next Friday. You want. You want to have seats? Reserve seat for you? He said, no. He said, don't ever call me again.
Sigh
Yeah.
Godwin
That's a true story.
Phil
That's been 15 years ago. He hadn't played since he had placed it. He said, I've never sat down at a poker table with nine guys.
Godwin
Idiots.
Phil
And he said, and they don't know what the word F O L D means.
Sigh
No, y' all don't. It's bingo.
Phil
That's why I would love to show these idiots just a feminine and just say, okay, tonight we're going. Before we play, I'm going to show you how stupid you're playing. Yeah, watch the video.
Sigh
Yeah, Here, watch this.
Martin
Watch your highlights.
Phil
Yeah, watch this. You're calling with 2, 3. And you call $5,000 with the 2, 3.
Martin
Oh, that's. That's not what was going down in the NBA. They had one guy that would get the information, and then he'd signal to all his buddy. Like, one guy would show up, and they basically just rob him.
Sigh
They were just taking.
Godwin
Oh, wow.
Martin
There's literally text the FBI guys, please let him win a hand. He's in for 40 grand.
Phil
Oh, no.
Martin
That he's about to leave if he doesn't win.
Phil
That's like that 360 game. They play three. Yeah. Four or five guys come in and they're playing together, you know, Then they split the night's tape.
Godwin
Yeah, okay.
Sigh
Yeah, yeah.
Phil
They want them to say, yeah. He said, oh, I bet 100. The other one say, hey, look, I'm on, but I will raise.
Godwin
They're trying to trap somebody.
Phil
Yeah, well, look, there's. There's, you know, they're targeting people.
Godwin
Let me tell you who's not in cahoots. Me and sigh are not in cahoots. I'm trying to tear his head off, and he is breaking Me?
Phil
Well, no, no, because here's the thing.
Godwin
But we. But we don't show favoritism to each other at the poker table.
Sigh
Well, because I did. I always stayed away from psych because I could never beat him. I never. I was like me and him.
Phil
What is funny is we play the same kind of cards, okay. So we run up on each other and we got the same hand. Normally we both got a wheel draw.
Sigh
Oh Lord.
Phil
Yeah.
Martin
Wheel draw.
Phil
He said I bet 100. I know I'm going to raise you 300, fella. He said I'll ball him. So it just, you know.
Sigh
And you own the same thing.
Phil
Yeah, but.
Godwin
And also when Jace plays with us, he don't want nobody in cahoots. You know what I mean? He's watching for.
Phil
Well.
Sigh
Oh, team player.
Godwin
Yeah, he's watching for this. Just this sort of thing.
Martin
If he's watching for X ray table, then I ain't never showing up.
Sigh
That's incredible.
Martin
That's crazy.
Godwin
It must have cost a fortune.
Sigh
So they just.
Godwin
Table.
Sigh
They just picked a guy, say hey.
Martin
Man, come on over, we're gonna play poker with you.
Sigh
And then doe pop him.
Phil
Yeah.
Martin
And then see you later and take all this money. And now that that dude's gonna go to jail for like 10 years when he was making $20 million a year.
Sigh
Who is it?
Martin
Chauncey Billups.
Sigh
Oh, Chauncey was.
Phil
Cause a bunch of basketball players used to. They gamble.
Sigh
Well if you most of Michael Jordan.
Martin
Didn'T go play baseball for no reason.
Phil
Yeah.
Sigh
I'm just saying.
Martin
I don't know.
Sigh
Yeah.
Godwin
It seems.
Martin
But if I had to bet.
Godwin
Yeah, it seems so easy now to just cheat in the NBA or baseball because everything. I mean Pete Rose, he ain't got nothing on these guys, you know, and everything. I mean you can bet on how many. How many pitches before the guys taken out.
Sigh
That's what the Cleveland Indians just got in trouble or whatever they're called now. Guardian.
Martin
Guardian, sir.
Sigh
Whatever they are. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry to my native American friends.
Godwin
And what about these college.
Sigh
Sorry to Rick Wild Thing Vaughn.
Godwin
These guys in college, I mean they're young and I mean they can be persuaded.
Phil
Well, I got a dangerous game out. I got a question. They're playing college players nowadays, right?
Godwin
Yeah. They're making more than their coaches.
Phil
How much? How much? We're talking about how good are you?
Sigh
How good are you?
Phil
Big money.
Sigh
Some of them if you good, some of them can get out of college. And if they do it right they could go to the NFL if they just Want to go get their brains beat in or they could cash out.
Phil
Yeah, but why?
Sigh
I'm good.
Godwin
Yeah, yeah.
Phil
Why?
Sigh
Well, but why is because they're very good athletes and that generally comes with an ego, so. However, there are some professional athletes side that you have a lot in common with. Apparently because we stumbled across two videos.
Phil
Oh, yeah.
Sigh
This weekend, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. And they were asking their players, how do they like their steak cooked?
Phil
What did they say?
Sigh
An alarming number of them responded with medium plus. So I'm wondering, do y' all listen?
Martin
Hey, dear Arizona Cardinals.
Sigh
Deal. Deer. Cardinals. Deer. Steelers. I've already been talking to Patrick Queen with the Steelers to try to get John who Smith. Oh, he says 100% him. He went and watched the video. He said, oh, yeah. He said, I'll see what that clown knows.
Martin
He said, great catch last night.
Sigh
He did.
Martin
They called it incomplete.
Sigh
They called it because you eat your.
Martin
Steak medium plus, which isn't a real thing.
Sigh
If you'd have just said medium or medium rare.
Phil
No, no, see, that's what gets me. One of that guy, the chef from New York, sent me a little tweet on the machine on the computer.
Sigh
A tweet on the machine?
Phil
Yeah. Well, yeah, tweet machine. I'm not into technology.
Martin
They tweeted you.
Phil
He said he didn't know what medium plus means. I said, I wouldn't eat nothing. You cook, you don't know what you're doing.
Sigh
Well, apparently you could make it in Glendale, Arizona, or Phoenix, wherever that. Whatever town that town's in.
Martin
A lot of towns in there.
Sigh
Or Pittsburgh.
Phil
I've asked this in restaurants before. Apparently the fans, when they asked you, how do you want your steak, sir or ma'?
Sigh
Am?
Phil
Most people say medium rare.
Godwin
Amen.
Phil
Okay.
Martin
Because that's.
Phil
And then I said, hey, no, I don't want my medium rare and I don't want it well done. I want it medium plus. Which means, hey, if it's a three inch steak, I want it light pink, no blood in the middle.
Godwin
And a lot of times they'll look at me for translation. And obviously he wants it between medium.
Phil
Jason always said, hey, make it well done. And I said, no, I didn't say that.
Martin
Jay Seeds, well done steak.
Phil
Well, no, no, he's just. For me, bad interpretation. No, I don't want to eat boot leather. I buy something, I want it medium plus.
Martin
That could change. We. We have a situation here where you have teeth now.
Godwin
Oh, yeah. Oh, hey, when he gets his permanent teeth, the. The doc's Going to cook him a steak.
Martin
How's he going to cook it?
Godwin
He's going to cook a medium plus.
Martin
You're not going to change. You can chew better.
Phil
Done it when I had these, it.
Godwin
Was, it was before.
Sigh
Before?
Godwin
Yeah, before.
Martin
I feel like you can live on the wild side now.
Phil
Well, no, no.
Sigh
Maybe try rare.
Phil
No, no. That's what was so fun. Okay. I literally had to retrain myself how to eat.
Godwin
You're finding places to chew that you.
Martin
Didn'T know you had.
Sigh
What are you. What are you. What? Yeah. Since we've last discussed what have you now eaten? Because now you can eat more, right?
Phil
Well, no, no, I had, I had a chicken fried steak the other day.
Sigh
How was that?
Phil
That was good.
Sigh
Unbelievable.
Phil
Oh, no. Yeah.
Sigh
You didn't even have to have mashed potatoes you wanted.
Phil
Well, no, no, I did have mashed potatoes with gravy. Brown gravy.
Sigh
You know what you want to give somebody, give them their confidence back if they've been struggling. If you're wondering like what's wrong with that person, but maybe you notice their hair is not quite as thick as it used to be.
Martin
Little thinning hair.
Sigh
But they don't want to admit it. They don't want to say it. You can give them the gift of Nutrafol.
Phil
That's it. Don't point it out to them.
Sigh

Phil
Funny style. Where would we eat? We ate some French fries somewhere and they were kind of. They cooked some of them crunchy.
Sigh
Yeah.
Phil
You know, so I wasn't ready for that. I thought it was going to be sauce to it. You talking about cracking and all the noise.
Godwin
You ain't heard that noise.
Phil
I ain't heard that in a long time. Yeah.
Godwin
Well, si. Do you remember that place where we went and they cooked all the steaks? They had a humongous grill and they cooked steaks for the event, the DU event that you went to last year. And the owner came up and said, hey, I hadn't seen you since you and the psychotics were here. Yeah, we. So I went with Martin and Godwin and they were the. The guest for the DU banquet. And I'm telling you, the steaks they cooked smelled delicious.
Sigh
I ain't ever seen a grill like it's huge. Things like 15 yards long yards. Yeah, that's probably like 50 foot.
Phil
I was fixing. These people cook a lot.
Sigh
Yeah. And apparently during the. Yeah, apparently when it's not closed for an event, you can go by there and it's $2 cheaper if you cook your own steak.
Godwin
Yeah. They let.
Sigh
Let's give you the piece of meat and cook your own. Yeah, you just stand up.
Martin
That sounds fun.
Godwin
Yeah. Yeah.
Martin
It's like a reverse hibachi.
Sigh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Godwin
You cook it.
Sigh
You cook it. You sit there on $2. $2 a person if you'll cook them. It's crazy.
Martin
I'm interested in going there.
Godwin
I sent you a picture of John.
Sigh
It's big. Yeah.
Godwin
Martin and Godwin eating their steak.
Sigh
It's a big place. It is.
Martin
Oh, we love it.
Sigh
Look at the lady.
Martin
She's looking at y' all like y' all don't belong here.
Sigh
I know. That's what's hilarious.
Martin
Live photos is a great thing.
Godwin
That is awesome.
Martin
Martin giving the hefty thumbs up. That woman going, what? How did I end up at this table.
Sigh
Yeah. Yeah, it was. It was a wild. It was a wild night, man. It was fun.
Martin
That's so funny.
Godwin
Oh, Jeff, I like when you were bidding on some of those items that come up.
Martin
Martin, you started bidding on stuff.
Sigh
A couple of them.
Godwin
Look, he started shaking his hand like this. I knew what he was.
Sigh
I had three. I had three picked out that I would have been okay with coming home with.
Martin
But what were they?
Sigh
28 gauge shotgun shocker. Right.
Martin
That's right up your alley.
Sigh
What was the other? The Santa. Oh, the giant inflatable Santa. Inflatable sand ducks in his toy bag.
Martin
That's fun.
Sigh
That's kind of funny. But I didn't want to. I ended up letting that one go because I didn't want to wait on it to deflate to come home. So we were already going to be getting home late, so I bailed on that one.
Godwin
Oh, we did get home late. And there was a vehicle. Oh, on fire on the side of the road.
Sigh
Yeah. 18 Wheeler. Just. I mean, raging inferno on the side of diesel, buddy.
Godwin
In the middle of nowhere.
Phil
Diesel burns hot, boys.
Sigh
Buddy. It was so hot that it was on the side of the road. We were in the lane, the fast lane.
Martin
Life in the.
Sigh
And you felt the heat through the truck.
Phil
Oh, no.
Martin
Oh, like.
Sigh
And we're going 50 miles an hour.
Martin
Yeah, you should have spent.
Phil
No. Diesel. Diesel burns hot because.
Sigh
Oh, after I thought about it, it's like Goblin. Why did we slow down?
Godwin
Yeah, I don't know.
Sigh
What if that thing goes boom about the time we get right there.
Martin
You just keep going.
Sigh
Now the doors were open.
Godwin
Yeah.
Sigh
We didn't see nobody on a. On a very quick inspection, mind you, but Philip did call the state police and turned it in because it was just a big dummy. 18 wheeler on Fireball.
Phil
Fire department, they usually just let it burn out. Well, hey, look, it'll melt.
Sigh
They were just more concerned about it.
Phil
Will melt metal and all this. The operators east of hot.
Sigh
But I guess he went all the way to the tree line because as hot as that fire was on the road, I could. You couldn't stand by it. I mean it again. We go 50 miles an hour and you felt the heat come through the truck.
Phil
Diesel barns hot.
Sigh
I got it real hot. I got it on video. But it's, you know, it's kind of a weird.
Phil
I've seen. I've seen where one's burnt. I just let it burn out. Let wasn't much of the truck.
Sigh
Hey, whoever made the truck though, kudos to you because this Thing's on fire. And the headlights were still working.
Godwin
Yeah, they were.
Sigh
When we got past it, the headlights were still on.
Martin
I said, it's probably totaled.
Godwin
You got that. That film on?
Sigh
Oh, I got the video of it. It's a. It's a crazy because from a distance.
Godwin
It looked like a little flicker.
Phil
Yeah.
Sigh
Yeah. We were all trying to decide what's.
Godwin
Going on up there.
Sigh
I said, that's a fire, man. Then they talked me out of it. And then we got closer and I could see the smoke. I said, no, buddy, that's a fire.
Martin
It's on fire.
Sigh
That's a. That is a fire. Here we go. Let's send it to Johnny D, since he can pull this up.
Godwin
Johnny D. Yeah.
Sigh
It's a big.
Phil
Yep.
Sigh
Hold on. God. One narrating.
Martin
I didn't know that.
Sigh
What is this? That's far.
Phil
Far.
Sigh
That is a.
Phil
That's a far there.
Sigh
I don't know, but you're a little closer to it and I'd like to be. Yeah.
Phil
I tell you, Diesel. Barn's hot.
Sigh
Look at this thing. Good.
Phil
It won't be nothing left of that truck.
Martin
All right, I got a texture, but that was crazy.
Sigh
I mean, that was at like 1:30 in the morning, man, like right outside Shreveport.
Phil
It was one that I saw. It burned up. All that was left was the rims.
Sigh
Yeah. I don't know. We didn't go back and check on it. We called the state police and everything else was burnt, whatever that mile marker was, and said, hey, there's a truck on fire and there ain't nobody there. So.
Godwin
Yeah, I said, you can't miss it.
Sigh
We figured. We just assumed, like, because you saw it, man, you could see it from two or three miles away.
Martin
There'd be somebody there by now with.
Sigh
The water hose or that the state police would at least be aware of it. But that guy acted well. Philip got on the phone with him, he acted like this was all new news with the dispatcher. I was like, man, I just hope whoever it was, I hope everything's okay.
Godwin
Yeah, I like seeing the doors open because it makes me think that, yeah.
Sigh
Both doors were open and you. There was nothing noticeable inside, and they're.
Godwin
Not going to be standing anywhere near it. It was so hot.
Sigh
No, that's how hot that thing was. It was incredible. But that's wild. Hey, we've had another fun day, man. We filled this one up. So when is this going to air? A week from tomorrow, so. Oh, okay. Not quite Thanksgiving yet, but we're. We're Getting there, not Thanksgiving.
Martin
You let me close it out.
Sigh
Yeah, close it out. I'm just.
Martin
We're going to rip another band aid off here. I lost my grandmother. Wow. Yesterday morning from when we're filming this. It'll be a little ways and, you know, it's tough. I've been through a lot of weird deaths this year. This one, she was 91. She told us a couple weeks ago she was ready to go. She was ready to be with Jesus. And so we know that we have that hope through Jesus Christ that we know exactly where she is. She's with my Uncle Joe and my granddaddy.
Phil
Oh.
Martin
Didn't think I was gonna cry, but my dad has been taking care of her, and I just want to honor him. And he sent me a Bible verse this morning. Second Corinthians 1, 3, 4. Praise be to God and Father, Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. If you listen to us, you're probably on board with the whole Jesus Christ of Nazareth thing, and thank you for that. But if for some reason you're here and you don't know him, I don't know how you do it.
Phil
A.
Martin
And there is a way for hope. There is a way to be comforted when life sucks, and it is only through Christ you find that.
Phil
Man, you don't know what you're missing.
Martin
You really don't.
Phil
You really don't.
Sigh
Amen to that.
Godwin
Amen.
Sigh
Oh, man.
Martin
That's how I'm going in that one.
Sigh
All right, boys. Well, I was going to leave that band aid on, but I. I'm glad he took it. Yeah, he did say that, but I wasn't going to bring. I wasn't going to be the one to start peeling it. So if y' all wonder why we ain't talked about four, now we're just going to let him get to that point.
Phil
So.
Sigh
No, we love y'. All. Thank y'.
Phil
All.
Sigh
Lift up the Owen family in prayer, because no matter whether you're ready for it, they're ready for it, or all the things. Death is still hard, man. It's still. It's final here on this earth. It's not the end, thank God, but for here it is the end, while we're still stuck on this planet. So if you're struggling through this is the holiday season coming up. Lots of weird. Lots of weird things happen around holidays where people you now, remember these holidays for certain things. Lord knows that's the case with my family. And so, man, just cover people in prayer, man. It's awesome. Lift each other up. Be thankful.
Martin
Uncle Joe's got to be guiding me through that turkey this year, because that was his job. And now me and Lauren are taking it on ourselves.
Sigh
But now he gets to cook it for his mama again.
Martin
Man, that Thanksgiving in heaven is going to be legit. Well, you got crescent rolls and the turkey are there.
Sigh
Yeah, and didn't you just hear it? Phil just killed two. Cotton, Mouse up. We'll see y' all next time right here in the duck call room, y'. All.
Martin
Love you guys.
Phil
We're out.
Podcast: Duck Call Room
Episode: Uncle Si Reacts to Phil Robertson's Wildest Moments Caught on Film
Date: November 18, 2025
Hosts: Si Robertson, Justin Martin ("Martin"), Phil Robertson, John Godwin, Jay Stone, Phillip McMillan, Jacob Mayo
This episode is a rollicking, unscripted gathering of the Duck Call Room crew, with Uncle Si, Martin, Phil, and friends reliving Phil Robertson's most infamous outdoor moments and snake-handling escapades, reflecting on generations of (often hilarious) lessons learned in the Louisiana woods. The conversation also takes heartfelt turns, touching on parenting, faith, family loss, and gratitude. As always, the episode is laced with Southern humor, old-school wisdom, and a hearty back-and-forth about snakes, poker games, hunting, and wild animals.
"They're not to be feared, but they are to be respected. Give a little bit of room and you can all get along." (09:04)
"He could hold [the gun] out and know it. He wasn’t looking at the scope. He knew exactly where that thing was aimed just by holding it one-handed." (19:35, Sigh)
"They remove invasive species. Stuff where humans have created a problem... they go down and eradicate them to the best of their abilities.” (26:34, Sigh)
The dangers of irresponsible snake ownership are also highlighted (27:31).
"If it’s a three-inch steak, I want it light pink, no blood in the middle." (44:15, Phil)
"That’s the definition of 'so ugly you ought to shave your butt and walk backwards.'" (30:22, Sigh)
"...She told us a couple weeks ago she was ready to go, ready to be with Jesus. We know that hope through Jesus Christ..." (54:11–54:36, Martin)
He shares 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, expressing the power of faith and community during hardship.
“No matter whether you’re ready for it, they’re ready for it, or all the things, death is still hard... It’s not the end, thank God, but for here—it is the end.” (55:55, Sigh)
The episode is a blend of brash humor, tall tales, and genuine connection. The hosts poke fun, spin wild stories, teach through hard-won country wisdom, and ultimately remind listeners to find gratitude and faith amid life’s wild (and sometimes dangerous) ride. Always, the conversation feels unscripted, authentic, and steeped in the camaraderie of old friends who’ve survived everything from snake pits to poker disasters together.
