Wednesday night, I'm going to put a turkey and a pot. Ooh, turkey and a pot. And I'm going to put crab bowl in there. Uh-oh. Oh, crap bowl. And I'm going to bring it to a bowl. Uh-oh. And I'm going to let it sit all night.

Uh-oh, and the crab bowl. And then the next morning, I'm going to put it on that pit bulls, so on that smoke sitting. Thanksgiving. For about a wires. You need to make it eight. Yeah. And then make sure you're baste with a little butter.

that way that skin gets nice and tight. Just bring me to ski. Oh, we're going to inject it with all kinds of stuff. Crispy boys. So as a brine, you're using crab bowl. Yes. I can appreciate that. He can get along with it.

I'll try everybody's turkey. Well, you're going to be able to if you keep pedaling that cubie around. You're going to be able to go house to house. In my house of pain, Jay Stone, I've lost 28 pounds. That ain't bad. That's, that ain't bad, JD. Some would even call it good. But here's the deal.

I know what I'm about to do this week. Last night, family was over. We ate pizza. I crushed it. What, what? Pumpkin pan. I'm going to take today easy. But he also working out, so that's a good thing.

So I brought me his QB to use wild podcasting. And so I'm going to be ready for Thursday, which we've talked about extensively how much. I've also offered a girl I work with $20 if she finds a little Debbie's Christmas tree cake ice cream pint. That's why I'm going to pay her for it. I can't find them. But that's why I'm starting to work out at any moment. You keep talking like that. We all going to have to have a cubie to get this bag rolling.

So I's got two. See, Guy, when you're going to smoke the turkey after he soaks in crack, that's interesting. I like that. That's what Paula's dad does. Really? That's interesting. Bring it to a bowl and let it sit in that water all night. Oh, so you bring it to a bowl, drop it in, then just let it sit there?

You bring it to a bowl and then shut the boiling water off and just let it sit there all night. And then put it on, smoke it to next day. Oh, so yeah, you won't have to smoke it that long because it's going to cook while it's in there. I don't hate it. Just make sure you get that plastic baggy out of it. Let's get that. The what? The plastic bag.

The plastic bag. Make sure you get the plastic bag out of the middle of it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. With all the other ingredients. With the neck and the liver. Yeah. We did a thing like that.

Now, you want something fine. You fry that liver up and that heart. That gizzard. Uh-oh. Now, that gizzard, you eat him until Christmas. That turkey got a big gizzard. Big old gizzard. I just like the turkey.

Oh, that fried turkey liver's fine. Then you gnaw on that neck bone. I don't want its organs. Say, look. I had a pin raised. Oh, boy. Look, here's the deal. Turkey neck's fine.

I just ain't eating its livers. Every year we go to Grand Isle, that's what we use is crab bait, turkey neck. You go out there at Sam's, get like a box like 20 pounds of them. Little of nothing, they're giving them away. Hang him on the line and go out there and catch you a bunch of blue crabs. We're going to have some duck poppers. Oh, yeah, we're going to have, I've done, I've done,

I've been siphoning off the teals and the woodies. This episode airs on Thanksgiving. Yes. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. All right. I hope people are watching it instead of the Saints game. And they're going to know. It's going to be way more entertaining.

I was just a fish. We're going to have a cornhole championship. Oh. Do you win that? I'm going to stick with the corn bread dressing. I'm no good at cornhole. No, you don't fish. I fish.

No, you don't. You sell fishing stuff. I fish yesterday. Did you? No. You don't fish. Well, until you can put that cricket up under that limb, you ain't going to be no good at born hoping.

I'm not going to put it. I was fishing a chug bug yesterday. Oh, yeah. A chubbub. Yeah, that's an equivalent to how side duck hunts. No choke and just spray and prey, son. Open ball. Hey, he ain't spraying prey.

Okay. I kill what I shoot at, son. Oh, I've seen him shoot a galaw all about 65 for that 20-gauge open boar. That's a, yeah, duck season started. Open bowl. Oh, yeah. Has it started? Don't said improved cylinder is a better pattern.

So I put the improved cylinder in. That's because it's improved. Well, hey. Over just the cylinder. It's literally in the name. They were all talking about it, and I said, hey, I got some sad news for you clowns. I said, I was the one that kept an old boy out there about 80. He said, I was stretching it a little bit.

I said, now I was stretching my gun barrel on him, but I got him. Now, since I wasn't there, and he ain't trying to. to get one over. I'm telling me the truth. Was it you? It was me. It was you. He was flying.

It was a lot of boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I went, boom, boom, boom. And I folded. There you go. Then we all shot him on the water. Because at 20 gauge at 80 yards, it didn't kill him. It knocked him out of the air, but it didn't kill him. Well, you had a good dog go get him, right?

Well, no. That's up for debate right now, the dog. Oh, somebody got a... So, God, well, why don't you tell us how Phil's new puppy did this morning. Let Johnny D. What's the name of it? I don't know.

Drew. Drew. Drew. I don't know. I don't know where he come from. Yeah, you do. Where do he come from? Well, I heard the name Gimber.

Oh, boy. He heard the name. Ladies and gentlemen, John Gimber is a wonderful name. That's close to Timber. Nephew of one Phil Robertson, John Gimber. Family related. He's a pretty good cook. Yeah, let's not get off task, though.

How did the dog do this morning? Because Guy went told me this one we got on air, and I got tickled. I will tell you what the dog is really good at. What's that? Okay. He's not going to leave any shotgun shells. No.

Okay. He will drop a duck to get a shotgun shell. He's right. He's not going to have any shotgun shells floating out there in the water. He ain't a litter bug. He sinks every one of them. I can appreciate that. Well, you remember when you smile, you'd pick a 22 hole up and you'd smell it.

Yeah. He just loves that gunpow. Oh, he likes to smell a gum. Yeah, let's see it. Yeah, because soon as they at the water, he runs us from the blind. Oh, he's out. He's on. Oh, okay.

So he's not a, he ain't interested in the ducks, though. No. He got two of them. Well, hey, here's what I mean. I'll kill? 28. Hey, look, here's what you got to realize. Okay.

This is a puppy. Okay. It's got a terrible now. He's never been hunting before. All he's had is, okay, if someone's standing right beside him and throwing a dummy out in the open field. Well, and I'm going to defend the dog to this regard. Phil Robertson.

Likely, likely. It's not a dog person. Likely the greatest duck hunter the world has seen. But he ain't a dog boy. Worst dog handler you've ever laid your eyes. Doesn't remember what the whistle. us for that blows it 17 times when it only takes one he just he gets confused on handling dog he's not your dog guy y'all need me in dublin to come out there tomorrow

well it might drown yeah now galvin so i'm gonna take up for for drew because i ain't ever seen a terrible dog name he got the last two there's a difference between one of them was the 80 yard gadwall and he got that so he made a good retrieve on that that's good okay so he's starting to figure The one was out there in the D-Cores picking up ducks. Yeah. Yeah. And he threw him a duck, and he went, oh, this is what I'm supposed to do? Yeah.

So he was confused. Stone's training and Drew right now. Let me. And Phil says, he was coming back with just a handful of ducks, and he says, Stone. He said, I just want you to know you're waving any dog I've ever had. Well, in fairness to the dogs, hunting down there is tough. Hold on. It's tough.

Because they can't see. I need to take Drew to the rice field with me for about two or three days. He'll get it figured out and then he can take him down there. Well, he's starting to get there. Like I said, the dog's never been duck hurting. Yeah. He's used to standing beside somebody in an open field and the guy throws a dummy out there and he goes against it, okay?

Brings it back and he's told you a boy. Yeah, yeah, and he told good, good treat. He better not want any praise from his handler now. He ain't getting it. Because Phil ain't going to give you no adder boy. whether you're a dog human or otherwise. No, no, because when he brought it back, he said, hey, good boy, good boy. Oh, he's spilling that dog.

Oh, no. Next thing you know, it'll be in a bed with him and Kay. That's true. Can we rename it? They will. They will. No, no, because I... Why does it name?

Drew's a person's name. I know, because what he was saying, Drew, but he's blue. Half the time, we thought he was staying blue and told him, Tom and Phil, that ain't blue. He said I know. He said I know. I can hear Phil down there to end of blind.

I go, here Drew, here, Drew, here, Drew, here, Drew, here, Drew. He's going to get. You know, and the dog ain't any penetrators. He didn't. Next dog he gets, it's going to be a female. It's going to be Sue. That's right. That's right.

That's better than a boy name, Sue. That doesn't work out too well. I do you, date. That's right. My name. Well, look, folks, here's the deal. It's Thanksgiving Day. we want to take this minute to wish y'all all a happy Thanksgiving.

We have a lot to be thankful for, and when we come back, we'll discuss some of that. Let's take our first break. We'll be back back. I'd got to go get a turkey. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking.

And y'all know, we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Trial's beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson, would say, buy on the grill. Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things,

grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way.

their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat.

She isn't a big meat, folks. Yeah. just go to trybeef.com slash that's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. All right, we're back. Look, sigh, in the spirit of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving! What is one thing you're thankful for?

Let's just go the old. I'm thankful. Here's the biggest thing I'm thankful for. You know, even with this C-O-P-D, I'm pretty healthy. so I thank the Almighty that I'm you know 73 and I get around pretty decent for an old 73 year old You do you get around a lot better than a lot of 73 year olds

I love hunting on Thanksgiving morning. What about them? Tuckies with that big old white stuff in between them. Sure. Absolutely. I'm good with that icing. Did you just say double, are you speaking of double doozy? Oh, yeah.

Double doze. Not to be confused with a, what's that thing? Oh, that ice cream sandwich. Oh, big bopper. Not to be confused with it. There's a big bopper? Oh, yeah, that's that bluebell ice cream sandwich and the gas station. Got cookies on each side of ice cream.

Amen. I don't know. Reddic green marks. But. Yeah. No, that's awesome. Sison, what are you looking for? What's the first thing you're going to take a bite of on Thanksgiving?

That would be the dressing. So you're going to burn your tongue and not able to taste nothing else. Tell me a bite. No, it's going way, way, way beyond a bite. Okay. I'm fixing to pig out. What are you going to make and bring to the Thanksgiving? milk because you know that's got

If they want to buy something or give him a hundred bucks, I'll do that, whatever. Here's what I'll say for, Sigh.

He don't ever overstay his welcome. He got him. When he gets full, he made doze off for about 15, 20 minutes, then he's going to get up and head to the house. That's it. He'll stand up and say, all right, boys. Enjoy it. Enjoy it.

You know what I'm going to go. I'm going to get me some butter. You can pour me some honey in it and mix it up and sopping big old biscuits in it. Uh-oh. He's talking about Calgary boys. You're talking about Calais? I saw a certain twinkle in them baby blues. You had to be sitting right here.

This is a great day. It's a great day coming. Thanksgiving. I'm trying to think. Oh, I already know. First thing I get, as soon as that turkey goes out, I get that little flank of skin between the breast and the wing. I just go ahead and pull that off like it wasn't even there.

Cheater. Cheater. I eat that on the way in the door. That's always my first. Well, hey, the cook is always the quality check. You got to. You can't send nothing in there you ain't tried yourself. I got a smoke of turkey on Thanksgiving.

Oh, smoke, smoke, smoke. Well, there's usually, you know, different ones. I'm going to. I'll tell you what I did, though. I'm going to turn mine on, then I'm going to go get in a duck blower. And by the time I get out, she'll be ready. You want to know what we did the other night? What's that?

Just cheating. So, you know what you do with the ham? on Thanksgiving. You claim the bone. Oh, yeah. You got to claim the bone for your pot of beans a couple days later. Everybody does that. That's why I cut the ham before I take it somewhere.

That way nobody gets confused on whose bone that is. Yeah. Well, me and Allison got to talk another day, and so we just cooked a turkey on, I mean, a ham on Saturday. Because we wanted the bone. And so now we're going to have a pot of beans before Thanksgiving. Holla-old you, boy, when the beans is right. Oh, and another.

Yeah, and then we're going to have a pot of beans before Thanksgiving. Oh, and another. Yeah. And then we're going to claim that ham bone on Thanksgiving. Oh, yeah. We're collecting. It's ham bone collecting season. Y'all white beans or red beans?

Where are y'all at? We're white. White. Sometimes red. Lima. Yep. White beans. Very good.

But ham don't make any, yeah. He don't care whether they're white or. No, I just, there's some people. I like, I like all beans for the most part. Well, with equal enthusiasm. Daddy calls them nine mile beans. Nine miles. But since it was.

And we walked nine miles uphill to get them. Thank you. Uphealing on that, too. I thought that meant that was how far you could cut wind. For nine miles. No, but we left. So since it was only our family, I got to carve the ham up, and, you know, there's a lot left on that bone. Oh, yeah.

That way out of soaking them beans. Leigh Lennie for seeds. Then you get that little bonus piece of ham. That's a nice surprise when you reach out. Oh, yeah. Oh, there's going to be a lot of surprises in this pot of big. Kind of like when you were the ones. It made the cornbread, and you remember how you put the skillet in there?

That way you cut the pieces, got the full slice of bacon down it. Uh-huh. Because you know right. Some hand-douy sausage. Put them in the beans. I'm hungry. Yeah. I ain't ate in like a month.

So you want that white beans and rice kind of, and most Louisiana folks know for red beans and rice. I like them all, though. I just really don't care. They're all good. We don't put it on rice, even. We just eat beans, ham, sausage. Corn bread. Cone bread.

Yeah. Cone bread. You know, we had, let's see, Tuck, no, it wasn't last year. Year before last, we had Thanksgiving on the lake, and we had crappie. Fried crappies? Mm-hmm.

Mm. For Thanksgiving dinner. I'm thankful for the crappy. Everything's good in the duck blind, boys. No, he was, this was Thanksgiving dinner. No, not on the Lake line. No, no, Darbone Lake. Okay.

Oh, Darbone. Our Darbone. Well, that's... A dogboat. Come straight out of the channel. This is the only... This is one of the few days of the year where gluttony is celebrated. Not only is it allowed, it's expected.

I'm going to hurt myself. And then you hit that dessert section. We're going to have turkey duck and venison. Turkey duck and venison. You know that's what the pilgrims ate on our first Thanksgiving day? Turkey duck and venison. I bet it wasn't wrapped in bacon. Even plums, they say.

Even plumb? Well, they're plumb happy. I'm not a big plum-haired-ha. No. But you know what does happen some? Like when you get older and you get married and stuff, so then you got different Thanksgiving. Well, my sister is the master of the banana caramel pie,

and she's going to be in Tennessee this year. Oh. So I am a little sad. I bet she'll make you want when she gets back. I hope so. Maybe she'll marry you one. Well, she lived pretty close to me. So she ain't got to mail it, but she leave in town.

She's leaving town. She headed to Berfurt. I think so. She ain't even going to cook for her. She leaves. One of them Nashville suburbers. She can drop it off on the way out. That's a good point.

Or she'll just make like three or four of them at Christmas. Yeah. I love it, but I don't want to wait that long. I'm so ready for that turkey, them duck wraps, that ham. What? How many episodes have we done on Thanksgiving food by the way? Let's just keep. We're thankful.

We're thankful for Thanksgiving. Praise God. Praise God for a day to eat on. Now we need some emails on. Oh, we got tons of them. That Friday in the duck blind, Black Friday, when everybody else is out there shopping and doing whatever the heck they do. I'm going to be over there.

I'm going to have to size up my waiters for Friday. Yeah. I got up one morning on Black Friday to go duck hunting 3.30. And Miss Paula and her little nest of girls that she runs around with, they're all in there around the table. Looking through papers, they had their cinnamon rolls, had the coffee going. And I'm like, what in the world? She said, oh, we got to get our list together.

They get a limit. Going shopping. Well, I told her about 1130. I said, how are you doing? She said, well, the card's still working. Keep going. You ain't got your limit. You ain't there yet, Paula.

By all me. You ain't there yet. That's fantastic. All right, well, let's take another break. We'll be back right after you. All right, we're back. And back. So what happens tomorrow, since this is airing on Thanksgiving,

is the whole world goes out shopping. Oh. And I'm going to work, baby. Oh, you're going to be. It's like hunting over a baited field for you. This is new to me, too, because here at Duck Commander, you know, about Tuesday or Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, everybody disappears to go hunting. See y'all Monday.

Yeah. My new job, it's Black Friday Importante. What kind of sales on a lot? We got 20% off all hats and t-shirts and apparel and belts. What about menors? No, them's full price. Full price.

We don't make no money off menas. What about Jack Ham. Jay, that's going to be full price. Oh, man. 1799. Bobby Garland's still 349 and the original baby shab, depending on what color you get. I'm starting to learn the color.

See, I don't know. I always have the same thing as one and two. What do you want? Socks and underwear. Socks and underwear. Some Tommy Johns, baby. It doesn't even matter. I mean, I love Tommy Johns, but if they need to be the standard underarmor, that's fine, too.

I just like socks and underwear, so I don't have to go buy none the rest of the year. That's it, boy. Like, throw out my old and start over with a fresh new batch, and let's roll from there. I ask for some new shoes, like some nice shoes, for, like, church. I'm trying to dress more professional these days. That's a gar. That's not even true either. But I did see some shoes I wanted, but that's all I've asked for.

Tennis shoes? What? Well, I saw two. Oh, there's some boots. Oh. I saw some boots I wanted. And then those tennis shoes. Boogie boys.

But I asked my wife for one. I asked my mom for the other one. I asked my mom for the more expensive one because it was a better chance of getting it. There you go, Big Jam. What else did I ask for? That's about it. I asked for. I asked for some more pictures.

I wanted to update our pictures in the house. Oh, there you go. Yeah, I just thought it'd be cool to update that. So I told her, I said, super simple. I think it'd be cool. Wrap it up and let's roll. Call it good for me. Take some photos?

You're going to go take photos? No, no, stuff we already have that we just haven't gotten printed. You know, Van Gogh. Oh, no, he just wants pictures of himself framed up for the wall. No, just stuff me and her have done. Oh, for sure. We went to Utah a couple years ago, never really got any of that stuff printed out in the arches and all that kind of stuff. Oh, yeah.

Because we went out there right after y'all was there. Yeah. And we went, what's that one? That was a long, it was two of them. Delicate. Yeah, it wasn't delicate. That trail wasn't delicate. Oh, yeah, no, it was anything but.

It started off. It tricked you. You like, oh, yeah. And then you get on out there where it's too far to turn around. And you go like it. So, uh-oh. And you see them little black markers on the ground. You're like, I got to go there.

You say, whoops. Not only is it uphill. There ain't even nothing to grab onto. No. If you ain't got them hiking sticks, you're going to bind. And then you walk around the deal that's about a size of a size 14 shoe to get around this little clip. I'm a 13. I had just a little bit of freeboard, but not much.

But it was cool. See it standing out there in the middle of nowhere. That was a cool thing. But yeah, I'm pretty simple. I just some. Updakes and old mule deer dog standing out there. Homely looking things. Or the ones I saw was.

They looked like they needed to eat some more. Yeah, I needed some grocery. So what you want for Christmas? Nothing. I know. But if I was going to buy you a gift, what would you say? Man, that's awesome. Well, I always say it's awesome that people buy gifts.

But I just, yeah. Buy your deck of cards. Unbreakable dominance. Mr. and Mrs. Teens. Well, hey, I would bet. They're probably, they're not probably made, are not made. Unbreakable dominoes? No.

I bet you they are. I doubt it. I bet you they got like stainless steel. We broke ivory dominoes, son. Oh, yeah. Ivory's pretty tough. Bomp, bump, bump, man, go. Yeah.

Look, here you go. We get, we get involved with our dominole. We've actually broke fingers and thumbs with our dominole. Well, what's the best Christmas gift to you ever got, sir? Here's you some Swaroski. That would probably a hunt I went on. Oh, okay. I can appreciate that.

Yeah. Because look, Thanksgiving, that's part of the day. What, the hunt? The hunt. Yeah. Always, when I first started working. A lot of people say, nope, I got to be with my family. And I said, well, hey, we're going to be with the family after the hunt.

Oh, Miss Paula got me. You said an old Hickory butcher knife. Really? Son, you're talking about, well, I don't know if you'd call. one of them a butcher knife. It's more like a machete. That sucker. He's huge.

I need a good. Si is right. When I first started working here, though, I'd look up on Thanksgiving. It was just like me, Sy, and Phil, because everybody else had family and kids. He got to watch the parade.

Yeah, I'd do all that. And then on Christmas, it was always just me, Sy and Phil, because everybody, you know, kids had Christmas. It's just us three out there, and I'm looking down there like, huh.

And I just had to, y'all, I just say, hey, look, this has always been this week. Okay. Hunting on Thanksgiving. Hunting on Thanksgiving. Hunting on Thanksgiving's Christmas Day. As long as I can remember that I started duck hunting, it was always a mad dash back to mammals to be there by lunch. Because you duck hunted, and some of my best hunts have been on Thanksgiving morning. I don't know what it is about it.

I guess the good Lord's appreciating us for being thankful and being there, but I have killed a lot of ducks. Privet hole. Oh, Thanksgiving morning. Yeah, Privet hole, Thanksgiving morning. And just hammered them. And we whacked them on a second island one year on Thanksgiving morning. I remember that. That's why I said, you know, just probably a hunt.

Yeah. Pintail I have on my wall is up from Thanksgiving morning. Just the biggest thing I ever seen. Giant pentail. They felt safe on Thanksgiving. Bad call. He doesn't stay up eating too much turkey. Everybody's always.

They don't hunt that day. Yeah. Or they hunt quick. Or they go for just a little bit and then leave. I've never hunted on Thanksgiving morning. Mm-hmm. That's fine. That's fine as wine.

Yep. I'm going to hunt up at turkey. That's what I'm on. He signed up at turkey with the crabball. Well, that's a good thing about smoking a turkey is you can just go out there putting on two feet on. Let it go. Fill your hopper full of pellets.

Let it roll. And roll. All the peels. all the flavors. You want to know what one of my favorite Thanksgiving meals I ever had was? What? Pizza. Pizza.

We went to the Macy's parade when I was in the fourth grade, and we woke up at like 5 o'clock in the morning, so you get a good seat. And so then we were like, well, I always knew me and you were different. So we went to the parade, and then we were like, all right, we got to go eat Thanksgiving, and our family was like, watch this. And we ordered pizza and ate it in the hotel. And I don't remember nothing about that parade. But you remember?

But I remember sitting in that hotel room eating pizza on Thanksgiving, and I was like, this is the best. I don't know what I'd do if on Thanksgiving Day I wouldn't dress them, camouflage. I don't. Yeah. I just don't know what I'd do. That's in the evening.

What's that? The deer hunting? Yeah. But, I mean, we duck hunting every morning since I can remember. He'd head into the camp. Yep. And then you get home, then you spend the weekend at deer camp. Yep.

Eating dressing, leftovers, ham, turkey. We had some left. What I liked was. them little, when I was here, them little backstraps, he had fried up. You could just put them and suck on them in your cheek. Just suck all that seasoning out of them. That's good.

You're allowed to chew it. Oh, yeah, I cheered it after that. No, and then it left quicker. Oh, man. All right, well, let's take another break. We'll be right back after this. All right, so I looked on the comments of our last podcast, and I saw a young lady, and then this conversation.

comment got seconded and maybe we'll try to yeah however you said second did yeah I don't know anyway they said here here yeah here here they wanted to know what it meant when we said oh that's a gar that's a gar that is a gar they wanted to know what that they don't understand when we use a phrase that's a gar they've never been to a fishing hole not caught nothing what if you catch a gar then that's a gar It's a gar hole. It's definitely a gar hole then. To explain loosely the definition of a gar. A gar.

If someone takes you either fishing or hunting, okay, and you do not catch any fish or you don't kill anything, you always tell them, you took me to a garhole. Yeah, you got guard. I got gar. You guard me. Well, did they like the taste of a gar or something? I don't even think that they knew a gar was a fish. Fresh gar. And affectionately known as a trash fish.

Oh, yeah. Now, there are a lot of people that eat gar. And like them. And love them. And they make gar balls. But here's what I'll say. I ain't ever seen somebody with a gar filet. They always add.

You can fillet it. They always add a bunch of distractions around them. Look at that ugly thing. Like a gar. That's a gar. That's a gar. That's a call. that's called an alligator gar

for a reason. If you look at it as way his mouth is, he ugly. Yeah, he looks like an alligator, okay. But that's a lillen. And hey. That's a baby. Yeah, that's a baby there.

That's a little. Yeah, they'll get up to... So that's a little gar. So if you go on a little gar, that means you kill like two Woody's. Yeah. Big Gar. Now, Woody's?

I don't know. Biggar means you never even grabbed your gun. That's right. Never fired a shot, boys. That's what you. That one you got guard bad. Hold on. I'm pulling up a picture of a new.

I just figured. Of an old eight footer. I just figured since we were. Look how ugly that creaker. Now that's a mega gar. Now that's not, you don't kill nothing when you say that. Yeah.

That's a bull there. That's a mega gar. That's a bag. Then poor gar got a bad rat. And a hard head. Don't lift them when you catch it. On Red River, if you go where they put a rip-raff up, it all these, it looks like telephone pole.

Riff raff. To keep it from washing the bank out. Yeah. Yeah. You can get on them things to stand in the summertime and watch the gar come up to breathe. Just thousands of them, I'm talking about. Yeah. So I figured last time we had somebody ask us about the definition of a rig.

Yeah. So I just wanted to make sure that they knew when we said, no, that's a gar. That is something that's not desirable or no fun. That's what a gar. Anything can be a gar. Gross and ugly. stuff. Yeah, that's exactly the rock. That's what...

O' garr. O'clock. That's not true. It is garr. Now, if you fright. It ought to be against the law to grow it. So a galvan ain't about that ochre in his gumbo. I've had it. Now, I'll eat it in gumbo. But as you say, there's a lot of distractions around it. But any other way?

No. Godwin's, it ought to be against the law to grow it is the same as stones. I quit watching ball playing of any type. They believe in these things. Yeah. I ain't ever been at Stollins on a Saturday night to confirm that he quit watching it. He always suspiciously knows what happened. Oh, boy, I'm not telling him you said that.

He can listen to this. That's it, boys. That's right. What a gar. I ain't much on grains either. You don't know what you're missing on green. You consider turn up greens a gar. I've tried.

Yeah. I've tried it. No. I've tried it. No, but you ain't tried. Yeah, I've tried there's too. Yeah. Taste the same way.

I like them. Now, I'd eat before I starve to death. Turnbull greens are fine to me. I'd eat it before I starve to death. Can't cook something and put some little Boston butt in them? I've tried hers too. Taste the same way. Like dirt?

It's the same taste. You just don't like, you just don't like greens. I just, I don't like that taste ever. He's not into it. Which is fair enough. But I don't like liver. Eat to his own, boys. Yeah.

Are you comparing turn? Turn up greens to liver. No, there's no, that's two distinct tasties. Oh, yeah. Tastes. I'm just saying. I got you. He don't care for it.

I'm with you. Don't care for. Hey, look, there's a lot of things I don't care for. I'd eat greens before I starve to death, but liver, I'd just go on go. It'd just go, boys. Now, you don't like fried chicken livers? No. Oh, buddy.

I'm not. I do not like it. I love a fried chicken liver. No. You're like the oldest person I know to only be third. Fried chicken liver's good, man. I like gizzards. See, that's crazy.

That's not the same thing. What's wrong with a thigh and a leg and a breast and a wing? Why y'all got to eat all this other things? We in that waist, not want to. Give me the thigh. It ain't nothing wrong with them. Get a leg and the thigh. No, I'll eat them too.

But them energy is all right. That liver, he's fine. At Gizzard, he'd take a little while. to chew. I'm just Hey, don't, because now we're getting on to the fine, finer points of fixing this stuff.

Cleaning gizzards, yeah. You got to get that silver scale. You've got to know how to clean them, and look. You don't, you don't have big chunks of gizzards. No, you filet it almost. You fillet it and, okay, and it makes some of the finest giblet gravy.

Yeah. Okay, that you let me put your mouth on. Why not just regular? I think that was the, well, I think that I call it gibblit. Define that. Yeah. Either one. Define what?

Ghiblets. Ghiblet. Ghiblet. Ghiblet. Whatever. Tomato. Tomato. But that's just for everything that's left over.

That's where the hearts go. That's where the gizzards go. The livers. So why do we do that? Waste not. Hey, look, you ain't going hungry. But them boys used to be poor, son. I'm fine with that, but you ain't.

I know, but it comes in there. It's the old thing about one. Okay, like my dad raised me, okay? If you kill it, you grill it. Why do you think Sire grew up on Robbins? Hey, I'm telling you, if you kill it. And blackbird. You eat it.

Oh, you know what I want to do? I want to smoke a baloney log. Hey, all the birds I shot as a child. You ate the whole thing. I built a fire and, hey, put him on a fork and roasted him over the fire and ate that sucker. So I won a few people you know that grew up picking Robbins. Oh no Look

When we see a giant Flock of blackbirds The crow blackbirds The big ones Grackles, yeah Hey We broke out the shotgun In son

Eight shot And went and got us A mess of them I'm talking about And mom would cook them Just like she does duff And then put them in a Dutch oven And made them let them get tender

Hey and then biscuits And honey And rice and gravy And the whole works You're hungry you had to eat well we supplemented look when we was growing up

we supplemented our food bill with what we caught and what we killed and you know what side was wearing this morning in the duck blind was they on a coon skin hell look hey no no you're talking about hey

I should have took a picture of it I couldn't wear it long because you're talking about warm too warm that sucker will burn you'll burn your head up I concur he did okay because hey I pulled off and I'm wet up here.

Just somewhere, yeah. And we used to make them. Oh, sweaty. We'd actually put them on a board, okay? Stretch them over a board and salt it down and scrape it, get to me, you know, the skin off of it. Yeah. Let it harden and then you'd send it somewhere and let them make whatever out of it, you know.

See, that's good. You used to make a lot of money trapping, okay? It was a big industry, okay? Mm-hmm. Then that's out. Then, hey, fo fur, the chinchillas,

and they started farming and all that stuff. Then they started raising them, you know. Yeah. Well, there you go. Hey, my uncle, that's all he did. Yeah. That and Oldfield. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, let's take another break. We'll get back in that hello at duckcallroom. com inbox when we return. I got a couple special Thanksgiving-themed ones. All right, Johnny Dee, what is in that hello at duck callroom. com inbox this week?

Oh, we got a couple of. we're going to start with Olivia's first year. Okay. Olivia? I like it. Olivia, I'm not sure where she's from. Beautiful young lady. Boom.

Got it. All right. Zooming in too far. Bigging. She got her. Good work, Olivia. That's a good thing. That's a good way to start Thanksgiving.

That's fantastic. Look, and a corn field. There's a scarecrow behind her. Corn fed, boys. That's what my mom's saying. Let me back up. That's all Olivia. Great work.

Great work. I don't have any more information on Olivia, but I like that here. That thing was 425 yards. And she shot it with that 14th and slough. Fourteen slow. Open boy. All right. All right.

And so now we're going to get into a couple little family questions. All right. It's Thanksgiving. You may be sitting around after Thanksgiving. giving meals and now you're watching us and I don't know why you do that but hey some people like to and Ian from North Carolina this could get North Calacac boys this could get weird Ian if you're watching this with your family what are your opinions about mother-in-laws and how much should they be present in your family's day-to-day life I've got a fantastic mother-in-law

you ain't trapping me son yeah no that's mother-in-law are part of of life. Okay, when you get married. Absolutely. So here's his thing. His mother-in-law is around a lot. We'll just leave it at that. Isn't that the case in every family, though?

Like, one mother is around a lot and the other one seems to not necessarily be. Yeah. Well, I can see my... What's up with that? I don't know. It just always seems to be that way in a marriage. Like, one side or the other,

and it's never the same. It's never the guy's wife or the guy's mom or the... It's always alternates, but every one of them, seems to be a little more involved than the other one for whatever reason. It probably depends on where you live too. Yeah, I think so. So my mother-in-law,

if I step out on my front porch, I can see her house. If I go to my back porch, I can see my parents' house. So you pee off your back porch. Well, yeah, but... Okay, there you go. Who does that off their front porch, my dad?

But, no, so Allison's had to learn how to deal with her mother-in-law, and I've had to learn how to deal with my mother. And there's some stuff that... You should have moved further off. Well, we've moved there on purpose. Yeah. But, yeah.

Well, and that's a great thing. So, you know, you just have to find the happy balance. And we're all, I think we're all happy. We'll find out. But I love my mother-in-law. She's a super nice lady. She keeps our kids. Here's what I will say about that.

I'd like to see her more often. Go ahead. Okay, she's listening. Look. They're family. Yeah. Okay. And look, it's you and family against.

the world. Okay, that's why they're important against the world. I like that. Hey, I can go with it. Hey, when you get down to it, it's you against the world. But look, if you're feeling that she's around too much.

Build a man cave. Well, just approach that one with caution, is all I'm going to tell you. I'd probably just let it bump. But, you know, long as she ain't in your bedroom, I think everything will be fine. I'm saying long as she ain't the one come in and clean your house while you're there and all that kind of weird stuff.

Well, because one day you probably eventually most people have a parent move in with towards the end of life. Like you're going to have to take care of somebody. Well, you got to give back to what was given to you. They took care of you for 20 years probably. Well, and without that mother-in-law. If not more. You ain't got that woman because that's where that woman came from.

So mother-in-law is on Thanksgiving. I love you, sissy. Yeah. Love them. I got no issues with them. I like them a lot. And on mother-in-law, John David.

What a great name. That is a good name. John David from Valdosta, Georgia. Georgia. He even put an H on there on John. He wanted to ask our opinion on a little family advice again because it's Thanksgiving. On when you know you're dating the right one and when to ask her to marry you. I've been dating my girlfriend now.

for almost two years. She's definitely the love of my life, and I would do anything for her. What should I do? I don't know, but let me tell you a cool story that happened this morning. So one of the guys that duck hunts on the farm

that we duck hunt on took his girlfriend's dad duck hunting this morning. Oh, and to ask. Two asked. I better to do that first. If he could. Okay.

And the answer was yes, but he didn't ask until they shot a limit. they shot there 12 and then he asked I said now see look here's there between me and you I said I'd have asked on the way down here that way I knew if I had to take him duck hunting or not yeah because if he says no well then all right I'll be back here in a couple hours

yeah you're out you know but no they shot a limit of ducks I'm not going to give out any information I doubt they listen to us but they might so I don't want to ruin no Christmas surprise but if you know where I duck hunt and you think a proposal may be coming to you you're right there it is your daddy said yes

now it's up to your boyfriend I remember that speech I went and sat down both of Allison's parents and said here's a deal I'm gonna ask you to marry me

y'all cool with that right yeah that's basically the whole speech I gave some people here know some people here know so yeah

so are you cool with it they said nope we don't want you marry our daughter oh yeah I bet that's weird I couldn't imagine if they were

I would have said, no, I would have said, well, this is about to get weird. Yeah. Then that mother-in-law email would have probably taken a completely different turn. Yeah. Then it turns into a completely different deal. But to know that she's the woman, I... He already said it. She's definitely the love of my life and I would do anything for her.

Well, then what are you waiting on, son? Here's my advice. First, look at her mother. Look at her mom because that's what she's going to turn into it. Every time. Yep. You look at her mom. If you can live with that,

30 years, then you go to her dad and say, hey, bro, I'm going to marry this girl. You cool? You cool with it? And if he says, no, you got problems. Then you might, you got to start bobbing and weaving. There you go. And figuring out some things. But, yeah, one-on-one duck blind deer stand.

They're good places to do it, especially this time of year. We did it over pizza. I like pizza. Everything in my life. Pizza, I'll fix it. Pizza is very important in your life, man. I'd have never guessed that by looking. that's how I got to the size I was boys.

Oh, pizza. Well, good luck to you, John David. Hey, and it sounds like you found the one that you love, so congratulations on that. Also, if you're dating John David from Valda, Georgia, tell him to get a move on it. There you go. That's it. All right. We good?

I got one more. All right. Let's do one more. I got one more. It's a short one, and all we've talked about is food today. So, Connor from Shiner, Texas. Shiner. He is ordered.

What's made there? What's made there? I don't know. Are you kidding? Are you kidding? What about it? Minas? Oh, Shattered box.

There we go. He was just wondering what our definition of a Kalachi and a Kloboskneck. I don't know what that is. Say that 10 times real fast. He's out there from... He wants to know what a Kalachi is. That's a bunch of meat wrapped up in some bread. See, this kid's a liar.

He said that that is a fruit-filled dough. No. That's not a Kalachi. Not like any calachi in my neck of the woods. A clobosnack is a sausage wrapped in dough or a pig in the, no, that's a calachi. Yeah, see, what we got is somebody who's. A failure to communicate.

No, what we got is somebody who's from regulation Polish descent. Is that one? Is that the, versus what a bunch of rednecks have called. Do you know why we call it Kalachi? Because that's way easier to say than that other word. That's right. Oh, wow. We are wrong.

Oh, 100%. But we can spell Kalachi and we know how to say it. instead of that other one. Yeah, and it's forever Kalachi. Oh, Kalachis are what fruit, weird things. Hey, don't be a gar, son. No. That's a place over by the house got.

Buda and Kalachi? That's an apple turnover, what you're talking about. That's a fritter. A fritter. That's a fritter. Oh, bearclaw. A bearclaw. Oh, shoot.

That's funny. All right. Well, you got a thankful Bible version. Oh, that's exactly what I write. I'm thankful you got one. Psalms 107. Verse one, you don't even have to go very far once you reach 107. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.

His love endures forever. Forever. And ever. That sounds like a song. And ever. All right. Throughout. Give thanks to the Lord.

For he is good. Thanks to. That's what I'm told. And with that. We'll be here all week. Hey, and with that, we're out of here. We're out of it. Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. It's a Thanksgiving song, everybody.
