Welcome back, folks. We're here for another edition of the Duck Call Room. We have a little in-studio audience with us today. They are little. By popular demand from one episode in the past, I don't remember it's been a few ago. You guys wanted to meet the Gar Commanders, so the Guard Commanders are here. You have got your wish. Johnny D. brought the Guard Commanders, and I can only assume from the smell in here they brought gifts.

Yeah, they brought food. I want to preface this. I made all their parents tell me it was okay because I didn't want to get pulled over and have a bunch of junior high kids in my car that don't belong to me. Yeah, that'd be weird. So we're approved.

They can just ride around with me all day now. Okay. And part B, he brought what only the Gar commander would eat with him. And I've told him I'm going to try it because I once threw up eating vowing a sausage on here, so might as well. But anyway, opening weekend of duck season is now past us. It's now beyond us.

Did you have fun this weekend? We actually had a good hunt. You went? Yeah, 25. Well, 14 gadwalls, five green winged teal and a shoveler for Jack and four woodies.

How about that? I did not see 14 gadwals. Oh, no, we had about five birches. That's good. It was a good duck hunt. It's been good. Especially since there is no water. But you know,

I heard in there. I heard enough teal and enough woodies to know it's going to be pretty good eating. Oh, yeah. That's a good thing. The duck and dressing will be ready. Well, we ate it yesterday, so it's fine. I went hunting with my, we had our daughter, Daddy, hunt. Did you?

Deer hunt. Joe honed, I shot her a big doe. There you go. And I went, look, I went to scan it, and she said, no, I want to do it. So she got up there and. cut it and I sort of, quartered it up, cut the back straps out, got in there and got the tender lawn.

I was going, she said, no, I want to learn it. I mean, she got that. She was on, alone that concrete, just getting all that meat off the neck. I said, you don't need, she said, that's my meat. I'm taking it. I'll love it. Okay.

Look, we got home, and her husband looked at her after we was telling them on what she's doing. And he said, I'm a little concerned that you're skis. heels. She said, she looked at him and said, yeah, you don't need to worry about Daddy no more. Worry about me, big dog. That was pretty awesome.

That's fantastic. I always enjoy getting together and doing that. We may have to get Johanna on here sometime because she kind of got a flare for the eccentric. 100%. She's the only person I know with a shoulder-mounted dough. Yep. Does she? Maria.

And she named it? Uh-huh. And she dresses it up. Hey. Oh, no. She changes Maria with a holiday. Oh, hey, look. Oh, I got a picture of it.

That's a real deal there. Yeah, send it to Johnny Day. Yeah, I'm going to need photographing evidence. Yeah, we need to prove for this. So she killed a dough. Because I saw Ms. Paula sharing the picture. How far off was his job? How long?

How long? How long? Yesterday? Yeah. Yeah. One 50, 175. Okay. Good shot then.

Oh, yeah. Good shot. Yeah, she can shoot. Okay. Yeah, don't mess with that girl. But yeah, she'll key. She's the time telling me, hey, I got a canife. Don't bother me.

That's the Hall of Gobbman's daughter. I ain't messing with her. No, guarantee. Guaranteed. No, out of the Gobwin family, I would mess with Goblin first. 100%. Trueer words have never been spoken. If I'm picking a fight with any of them.

Yeah, I'm going to start with Gobbin, and hopefully I ain't got to get no further than that. because Miss Paula Whoopie now. She, uh, but this picture is fantastic. So she just dressed it up like, what, is Rudolph? But it ain't got no antlers. No, no, this one wasn't Rudolph. You'll sit here short. You'll see.

This is worth waiting for. What? That's good. That's Maria. That's good. Look at her ears. She's proud of it. That's legitimately just a big old dough.

Uh-huh. I ask God of money. I asked him when he told me about her killing this, though, I said, well, do you have to, do you have to cape this one out too? He said, no, she didn't want another one. But shoulder mounted dough. Hey, she's got false eyelashes on it. Oh, yeah.

It does. It does. I saw that. Oh, she's fired up. Oh, I love it. She killed a doe and put earrings on it. I love it. Look, she lets all the bucks pass because she's looking for a cold six point.

She don't want to beg him. She wants to call six points. No. She is the exact opposite of Paula. No, no. Because, hey, something was character. Yeah, that's what you want. I like BK.

BK killed one that was nine years old, six points. Huge six point. There you go. And nine years old to boot. There ain't nothing better. BK. Half spoiled. She doesn't kill bigger deer.

Oh, she's ruined. Yeah. She, she, the last one. She's stone cold, too. She don't even like. No, she needs to take up basket weaving. Whoa. Was that thunder?

That was. Sound like a rumble. Yes. That's it. That's him Naders. That's him November Naders. I didn't know if somebody was opened up and that pit blind over. Is that good for a duck hunting?

No. If it's really bad weather, no. But I'm going to say, I don't care because we need the water. Oh, no. So rain, baby, rain. Yeah, I was not safe. If it's got to have thunder and lighten them with it, then that's fine. I'm not going to cry about how we get it.

We need water. I don't run the ducks off. We do need water. So it is. Are we in a drought? It feels very drought. Are we in a drought? It's like D3 or something.

I mean, it was like to the level of, I mean, like, bad, bad, bad. Everything dry. Like one of the places I was walking across this weekend that we were hunting, the cracks in the ground didn't even seal up. So, like, you're walking across it and you're still stepping in the cracks of the ground. So if we were to, like, turn our pump off, it would be dry in probably two days. Oh, yeah. There's no water anywhere.

No. No. So the fact that the cracks you see it yet. You ever wonder how deep them cracks are? No. I don't because I don't want to know what lives in them either. Well, no. Hey, you need to do that though.

If when you're pumping, because Ben, Phil's pumped, you know, started to pump up and it was a drought year 99, matter of fact. Yeah. And we've been,

he's pumping three weeks. Okay. So, well, we need to go check the water. water, see, where's that? So we're going down there, I said, well, you think it's to the lake. And he said, well, no, I don't know. It may be, but I doubt it.

All right, we've got to walking down. And like you were talking about, we're looking through the woods, okay, where the water runs. And it's an eerie feeling because you're wondering about it, are you losing your balance or something? because it looked like everything's moving. The trees are looking like they move. Son, you're talking about a lot of junk living in them crack. Between the ants and the spiders and the snakes, snakes, bugs. I mean.

And just, hey, everywhere you look, it was moving. And look, we finally come up on that and look, this thing is that wide. The crack is. Okay. And the water is just. And I mean, he's pumping 36 gallons of, you know, a minute. Yeah, yeah. 36,000 gallons a minute.

Yeah. This thing is this big around just blowing water. It's pouring to it. Yeah. And it's just, hey, it's just, you know. And ain't a water inside nowhere. Yeah, I feel like I'm in a Garth Brooks song. You know.

Here's your winder. Yeah. It's like shaking the room. Well, I hope this does away with the drop. Well, hey, it's bad. storm. Your winters ain't down. It's coming from the west. Your winders rolled up? Huh? Yeah, mine's rolled up. You ain't got your waiters in the back of your rig, do you?

I got that cover. I got you covered. My waiters down at the Laird. There you go. Mine's in the back of the trip. Well, let's take a break. We'll check on this weather, make sure we don't need to shelter in place or something. We'll be back right after this. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know.

love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Tritels beef makes such a good product, ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao 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 grill and see, and go check out try tails beef i know in size case christine loves it which is just a uh she doesn't eat me yeah just go to try beef dot com slash duck that's try beef dot com slash duck support ranch families and eat some dang good steak all right we're back look we're we're we're gonna there ain't no there ain't no naders close so i think we can just allegedly yeah right now and things will sneak up on you yeah you ever seen twister that cow is still going

somewhere. But tornadoes really don't hit West Monroe a whole lot. No, they hit the lake though. They hit the lake, they hit Monroe. Mm-hmm. Way was at the lake when that and hit. But you was here that day we had that one that started

basically right here that ripped the academy sign down and then tore through downtown Monroe. Oh, yeah. I mean, we were sitting there at the front door, the only piece of glass we got in this place all looking. Yeah, that was dumb.

That wasn't smart. Yeah, we're not the only place that something could have happened to us. But, you know. And our windowless offices. Curiosity killed a cat. Well, I mean, I'm weird. I love watching bad weather.

It's weird. It's one of those things. He's a nerd. Yeah, it's cool. I mean, now I would rather see a tornado just ripping up an empty field somewhere. Like, don't kid me. I like lightning shows. Do you?

Lightning shows. Yeah, the worst one I've ever seen was in Fort Bragg over in North Carolina. When you see lightning that's wide as the Mississippi River running. across the sky. It was that wide? It was that wide. And you're telling us curious, the hair on my head when it come over

was sticking straight up like old king. Now that's saying something. Oh, no. Hey. I went inside when that happened. He said retreat. Yeah, I retreated when that happened. My wife just died like.

She said, you look like king with the Afro. And I said, what? And I went in there, look. My hair was straight up. Oh, Dahlink. Yeah. I was like King. I was thinking Larry King didn't have.

I like donuts. But hey, you're talking about some power. You know, to be wide as a Mississippi. And Mississippi is a mile wide some places. Huh? Maybe. Yeah. And it's just solid lightning.

I'm still trying to process why Gobwin let us know he liked donuts. He said he liked lightning shows. Oh, you just saying stuff you like. Okay, I can appreciate that. Oh, I like a watch a good light. Gone by. You like that old boy on Anchor Man. Especially like the military when they do a live night fire exercise.

That's something to see. With the tracers. All with all kinds of good stuff. Yeah, that's interesting. Now, bad weather's one of them deals. I used to go out and watch. I don't watch it much anymore. Now I've got kids and now I'm like actually worried if something happens to us for some reason.

Oh, my wife's in the closet with all our kids right now. Like I can control a tornado coming over. Yeah. Oh, I need to make sure. Do something about that? Yeah. I mean, like, what do you do? Getting a car.

You get in a bathtub and you put an helmet on. That's the one place I draw the line. Like when they're like, hey, bad weather's coming through. Nowadays, they can pretty much tell you what neighborhood it's in. Jared Floyd, shout out. He's good at what he does. He's busy right now. Yeah, and he's probably on the news telling people.

But he'll let you know, like, hey, if you're in this neighborhood, probably. And a few times our neighborhood's been in it. Like, I'll do most of the things they tell you to do, but I ain't putting a helmet on in my house. And if I go out because of that. Who has a helmet in their house? I mean. My favorite part is he just trying to help people save their lives. And you got people griping on there saying, well, why can't I watch NCIS?

They get all big mad at their shows on. Because that nadir ain't in their neighborhood. Why does you interrupt my show? Yeah. The Will of Fortune was on, Jared. Godly, we were on the last one. I don't know if they won the car or not. They probably didn't.

Have you ever seen Jared go off on those people? Oh, yeah. He don't take it. He did one time. He's like, I'm sorry, people's lives are in danger in our community. And I think more of that than you watching your stupid show. Yeah. He is good though.

The price is right. I like old Jared. I am with side of one thing. Like, why don't you just walk outside? Jetstream. I know, because, hey, they all live in buildings that have no windows. Yeah. Just walk out.

Then they were, oh, it's a beautiful day, sunshine outside, and hey, there's a tornado going through the joint. And rain is poured down four inches, four inches of an hour. Yeah. Oh, hey, how about just opening a window look outside and say, it ain't sunny out there, folks, just raining cats and dogs and horses and mules. It's going to be dark tonight. Yeah, it's going to be. Yeah. So there you go.

The weather. It is the best job you could ever have. Yeah. Being a weatherman. Why? Like, somebody pay you to be wrong? Oh, here we go. I'm just saying, like.

Well, hey. You're not held to any amount of standards. Yeah. Like, oh, well, I tried. Yeah. The model said that's what should have happened. Look, Jared Floyd live on the Facebook right now. God said.

Oh. Yeah. That's not what's. That's wicked look at there, boys. Red, yellow, and green. And it's all headed this way. And it's headed toward us. Mm-hmm.

We'll be a right, though. Yeah, we'll be fine. We got Jared Floyd. He'll let us now. Hey, worst case, we got Jesus. I love it, I love it, though. That's even better than Jerry Ford. That's what I'm saying.

Hey, I love watching weather. Expect you when you're out in the wild. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Because look, I've been standing on the cliff on Red River in Dixie, Louisiana, and watch the storm come down the river, just rain. And look, it stays within the banks of the river. So you was dry?

Huh? You were dry? Look, I'm standing on a cliff, and I don't. that and my arm is wet from here there. No. I'm serious. Quit. Look.

Hey, going down the river, there's a big giant curve coming. Just like Washington River down that Fields House. Stop it. No, no. Don't you tell me that thing. No, no. You would think it would just went straight. No.

It came out and it was just like somebody was driving a storm. They just stayed within the river bank. It was an old town on its track. That was a, no, I'm serious. That was a wildest thing. watch. Okay. So the west side of the river wet, the east side dry.

Dry. Unbelievable. And I mean, hey, it was just like somebody was driving. So I'm like, somebody was trying to write. That was BC before Christ, huh? No. No.

No. It's wild to watch ones. That's like me and my mother on Lake Powell in Arizona. We went fishing. We're going to the boat race. out in just the desert. We're just back off in the lake. And look, here comes a little thunder cloud.

That's about 30 yards in a circle. And it's dark black. And under that, it's raining. So this stupid thing comes right by us, okay, raining. And we thought we had hit a gas pocket and was hallucinating. Because we, hey, this storm come by, rain, okay, the desert blooms out, all the flowers, all the cactus got flowers, birds and bees appear out of nowhere.

And look, 15 minutes later, it just all folded back up. Sun came out and it said, well, out. It was just like, never had. We looked at each other. Me and my mother looked at each other and said, did we just hit a gas pocket or something, and was we hallucinating what we just saw? How many times you thought that in their life? I'm serious, a few.

I don't. I believe in the hallucination part. Well, no, no. What's the gas pot? Well, hey, just you know, there's gas coming and sleeping all over this earth we're on. Bubbling out of the ocean? You know, bubbling out of the mountains, cracks and stuff? Well, I'm going to step out.

We got the guard commanders in the house. Well, I'm going to let you, boy, sample their fine cuisine. I do have a little bit of work to do with it being duck season, so I'm going to step out. thing and I'll be back once the Gar commanders. I'll let you know how to. You're not going to try one for real? No. Why not? Well, maybe. The evidence has done been presented.

No. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Okay, so we have the Gar commanders in the house today. We talked about them a few weeks ago because we were talking about eating weird foods. And I was like, I actually know four young boys who are basically redneck. You're as redneck as they come. No, they're red, they're red, they're going to go. Where did y'all come from?

D-Rit. Noah, where did y'all come from? The woods. The woods. The woods. That's not. They live in the neighborhood behind the honeyhole. Well, that's the woods.

That's the woods. And no. Not off of the Wachita River. And Noah, what do y'all do for fun? Trap, fish, hunt. Trap fish, hunt. They're basically the biggest rednecks I've ever met. Yes.

And they, Noah, um, I, I met him because he kept coming in how to catch Gar. And I don't know. And you gave him all the tips you had. Yeah. Don't. Do you give him some mentors? I think.

So, so y'all are super into catching Gar, right? Yes. Because y'all are the Gar commanders. Yes, sir. How many gar have you caught? Two minutes count. Two minutes.

Look at this. That ain't a gar. It's a both fan. We need to tell you what a gar are you. That's my bad. I clicked the wrong one. Well, What was he have?

No, that's a gar. So Carter in that picture, he had a spear, and we're on the Johnboat, and he grabs the jug, and Carter, he spears it and lift a two-inch hole in the side of that gar. Yeah. Okay, so here's... Mashed up the meat, huh? Yeah. So what's the best way to cook him thing?

Garballs, frown. And you brought that with you, of which I'm very angry at. When did you cook that? Today. It was hot when they got in my car with it. My truck now smells like a garball. I'm going to. They're still hot?

Oh, they're still hot. Oh, they're going to try it. Oh, gosh. They're disgusting looking. It's basically like a... It's a nasty-looking hush puppy. You eat these, Noah? Yes, sir.

You notice they over there and sit over here. I'm going to give them to you. They're the guard commanders. I didn't know people actually ate that. Watch their face. Watch their face. Do you cook them or your mama cook them? My dad.

More dude. Who's dead? So they don't call anything. It's like a, looks like a crab cake. Is it good? Mm-hmm. Look, he put it back. He said, no.

Carter said, no. You don't like it? Do you like it? It's strong. That's amazing. I smell it. Oh, that's strong. Yeah, I travel.

Because I, I smell it from here. Yeah, that's the problem. The smell is what's getting me. A lot of green onion in it. Is that what the secret is? Maybe. Maybe. Onion.

You said, maybe. So, Noah, you might be the most redneck person I know. The redneck down your own. That's what you're all over. How old are y'all? I'm 14. 14? Oh, 13.

13? Okay. And this is just what y'all do, right? Yep. That's good. You're telling me all these great... It's not bad? I'm going to try one in a second.

But y'all were telling me all these great stories on the way here. Now the lights and cameras are on, and y'all've got nervous. Well, you said you're going to ask these questions. You don't like that. You got a problem. You got a problem. You got a problem with like a pump. Like what?

Mexican food. Mexican food. It's all Mexican food. He's going to eat all of them by the time it's over. So you, God, when you're not against this. You're not against this? That's pretty good. He did good.

All right, I'm going to do it Got a fishy taste? No, got one? No. Really? I'm serious. Come on, John, David. Mm-hmm.

It's amazing. Okay. No fish is strong taste at all. I can't believe that. I've almost thrown out from eating a vion of sausage. Try that, J.D. Nice and spicy. Oh.

Whoa. oh oh god oh man it must be the texture it's a texture thing for you ain't it no it's not about the texture Noah what are we doing man that tastes good that was the saltiest

strangest thing I've ever had in my mouth salt that was ugh let me ask you a question there we go what's the worst bait you've ever used Bass and drum. You use bass for a bait?

Yes. Yes. Now, we had an uncle that told us, hey, look, we were saying in the pond. We had perch, you know, and a lot of pot-gut shiners, is what we call them. Pot-gut. Okay.

He said, well, hey, we'd get all the perch out and put it in a number three watchtow with water in. And we'd throw the shiners just out on the bank. He said, y'all throwing the best part away. And we said, what are you talking about? He said, hey, what you need to do? He says, hey, look, go to the store, buy you a bag, big bag of cotton balls. And them shiners, you've been throwing away, put them in a gallon jar. Okay.

Fill it full of cotton balls and put the lid on it, leave it out in the sun for about a week. Boom. Catfish bait. It's catfish bait. Did you know that? No. Try it. Yeah.

You need to try that. We will. We use, like, chicken livers. That's a good bait. Blood baits. Blood baits. Straw. Strawberry.

Pigs. Uh, sausage. Strawberry. Strawberry sausage. Slim jams is pretty good. We soak them and, like, strawberry collade. Slim jams. Look off some nice catfish.

Yeah, we use strawberry cooling. Y'all soak sausage and strawberry coolid? Yes. Yeah. Is that a real thing, Gobba? It is. We call... And slam jams.

Some of them pro-caf fisherman put a piece of slim jam on the hook with skipjack when they're bumping. That's amazing. I shouldn't have said, Dad. I'm going to get in trouble for that. That's a pro-tip. Pro-tip from time. He left a secret out right there. Yeah, I'll go try that.

All right. Well, we're going to get your brother on and Craven on, because they're kind of the entrepreneurial spirits. You two are the more redneck ones, and we're going to be right back. Are they going to eat them things? Probably not. Probably not. So you brought them for us to eat, but you're not going to eat. Yeah.

That's what I did. That's not like the usual garbaws I've eaten. Oh, you've had other garballs? Yeah. Oh, I can smell it. Entirely different. No his dad made those. No fish taste.

No fishy taste. None. None. I'm not for them. I'm a texture guy. Well, there we go. It's like a... It's like a crab cake.

It's like a crab cake. we got two new guys in Craven's worried man down this is good y'all's trash came outside it's outside we'll see it a minute we lost one of our

we lost one of our we lost the that guy's the Willie I thought he liked it Craven just ran out he's gone I don't know where he went but we still have Carter

nope CJ y'all got to get C. Yeah, I mess y'all's names up. They're brothers, so I don't feel bad. And they're basically twins. So, C.J., you're into garbals? C.J., are you?

So what's the deal? Why did you run out of here? Craven? Too many peppers in there. Too many peppers in there. It's hot. They're hot. Pretty spicy.

It was very salty. They're a little bit spicy. Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay, so Craven and C.J, y'all are the business-minded folks of this operation known as guard commanders correct yeah correct so tell us what y'all did um we ran a lemonade stand at honeyhole how much money did you make uh well combined probably a little bit over seven hundred dollars they made seven hundred dollars on a limitate stand y'all buy any kind of tackle fisher

tackle with it oh yes sir that's what we used all the money for i'm broke now it's the best system I've ever made. They sell lemonade and then they just give me all the money. It's awesome. Buying stuff. Biting stuff for me. So, you all right. Hey. So, y'all got a good deal of business going there. I love it. So what gave you the idea of lemonade? Because kids in America these days do not participate in going outside or running lemonade stands. So, and there's kids listening. So, um. He's just crushing these garb balls while we do this. So, um, this is my last one. Okay, good. Because you're not allowed in my truck after this.

so um the idea that we got for doing a lemonade stand so basically we were sitting down at his house uh after we got done fishing or whatever we were doing and we were talking about going to honey hole and buying something me and him and then so i always have to borrow money from Noah and Carter and CJ because um I'm kind of broke so I have to in other words you have hard trouble hanging on money. He spends it all. If he gets 20 bucks, I'm getting $19.95. They're fired up about it.

Good deal. We basically, we were like, you know what, why don't we just go run a lemonade stand at the end of our neighborhood? Because that's where it first started. And we made exactly $121 off of it. And then I had the idea. I was like,

why don't we go run it a honey hole and potentially make way more money? So, about the next week we go down to we go down to honeyhole and started selling lemonade on the, it was a Tuesday started selling lemonade

and we made over $300 on the first day on a Tuesday and what was your job I think it was holding the sign He was out by the street on the side It was awesome though And so and y'all made a ton of money this summer and funded basically your whole fish

and gar adventures. Yeah. I love it. But anyway, these are the guard commanders. There's hope for America because we got kids running lemonade stands hanging out in the woods.

You know what my favorite part about them is, though? They're never fighting over money. It's like all four of them have this communal jar. Well, yeah, that's true, too. But they all just share everything and they're out fishing and it's awesome to see. I love them and they've always made me laugh.

Well, I know why you love them. They spend all their money they make. at your home? That's not the only reason I love it. Quit eating that. You have to ride back. I was getting one more. You said that was your last one. But they're a great group of kids. Hey, he actually likes them. Yeah, he does. He's in the Mick Man.

Godwin liked them too. I eat three of them. All right, well, we're going to take a break. Maybe Martin will come back in and try a garball, but I doubt it. That was the saltiest thing I've ever eaten in my life. Try it, Martin. I don't get that.

Huh? Martin, why will you not try one? So I wouldn't try one. I ate vienna sausage. So look, I stepped out to let the guard commanders come in, which, by the way, I follow them on Instagram. I hope all y'all do. I've liked a couple of their things.

Garballs, where are we at? See? I ain't saying I'm against garballs, but while I was out, I had one of your young youths run by me to the trash kit. I was before. And I was like, huh? And then I looked in the trash can and I can only assume what was in there was garball from what I saw.

And then I walked in here and the smell, I mean, I feel like I should just bite an onion. I mean, is that where we're at? Like is it heavy onion, heavy distraction? If you were to lick a fish, as I said, and then bite a raw onion. That's what you got. Good habit. Yeah. See, I think I'm more along the South Louisiana.

The South Louisiana folks, when they make garball, They smother them in like a gravy. We need gravy. And then you eat that over rice. Lots of distractions. I can get behind, but just, I mean, he went running past me. He was just following my lead. Oh, I must have just barely missed you then.

Yeah, I tried one and it wasn't, weren't much. Yeah, their Instagram, a wild place to be, man. They got one old boy, they blurred his face out. I guess they kicked somebody out to rat pack. I might have been one that got in trouble or something. Oh, okay. I'll try and keep them out of trouble too. He's grounded.

Yeah, I saw it. He had a face scratched. I was like, well, I guess he got weeded out, but the picture was worth it. Their parents dropped them off, and one of them, I'm not going to say, whose mom said, just don't let them say anything incriminating from like game violation standpoint. I said, no, they've never done anything. Yeah, there you go.

And we'll edit it out if they made a mistake. Well, there you are. It's fine. You got to learn somehow. Ain't no big deal. Well, well, I'm glad that y'all, y'all went down. that road. I hate I missed it, but I'll watch, no. You're not going to eat one? Not yet. If you're not eating one, I'm going to take them out of this room. Oh. I can't handle the smell.

Well, by all means, yes, yes. Put them in the warehouse. Did you eat them? Yeah, I ate three of them. What did it do? Just kickstart your appetite? Now you're on a trail mix. I'm on my heart. Hey, I'm about to drive it and blow away. Side, what did you think? Do you try it? Do you try it? No, too old. I think a Robertson's going to try something like that? When did you try it? long time ago. And still, it stays with a man.

He tried it back when he was poor and didn't like it. Yeah. You think he's going to like it now that he's got money? I don't know. You're right. I'm back right. That's what I'm saying. Back in the day that, okay, yeah, I'll try them.

Yeah, they didn't have nothing. Because I've actually been raised to, hey, whatever's put in front of you eat it. Mm-hmm. And no. Well, he's against that. He went back on that statement. Yeah.

You may would have me had my man not come running past me. I don't know. I think you should try it. But there was almost a head-on collision out there as I was hauling boxes to the dumpster. And he was headed towards a trash game. But of all the kids that had to run out, he was like the most willy of them. He was the lemonade guy. He ain't quite as redneck as the rest of them.

What made you get up and take off? He said it's hot. It's hot? Too many peppers. Spicy? Mm-hmm. Are they spicy? They are.

Yeah. Okay. Well, that's fine. Teach his own, man. I'm just glad that we can celebrate young entrepreneurship. All right, that's it. So I will always give up my chair with young entrepreneurs to come sit in. And I can assure you that.

I gave them some advice since you said that you didn't like hot lemonade. I said, boys put ice in next time. Well, yeah. There was a lot of things wrong with that lemonade. But they were trying. Jay, he's coaching them. We've made an adjustment on it, young. more lemon.

Yeah. They tried to skimp on the powder. They had no ice. And here I am paying $10. You know what? I don't care. You didn't ask for change. The ice had melted because it was 115 degrees out.

Oh, yeah. It's more planning. You've got to keep ice in it. Yeah. I'd have to keep ice at it. Y'all sell ice, don't you? Yeah, there was a huge ice machine right beside them. That's what I'm talking about.

We probably should have looked more into that. That's what I'm talking. You should have traded them three bags of ice for your own good. I bought like five cups of lemonade that day. The early lemonade was pretty good. It was as the day progressed. Oh, they didn't, they didn't prepare. Yeah.

Yeah. And when I got it, it was kind of like yellow water, which there's pretty much Westmanoe water anyway. Yeah, you don't know. It just had a little tang to it instead of that kind of oomph. You never know with Westman Row water. Yeah. Lemonade, urine, paper meal.

Like, it's just never, it's always suspect. Hey, they was out there and I hate selling it. They were. They were getting money. They wasn't, like I said. Well, two of them were. One of them was inside eating Johnny's pizza when I got there. Uh-oh.

But Craven and CJ were the actual main lemonade salesmen. The other two were still fishing. I can see that the honey hole sponsored their tops. That's for sure. I just showed up. I didn't even ask them to do that. They just showed up. And my boys, we were all deep.

Hey, they understand the world of the Graham. Where are you sponsors? Put them out there, son. We're all in the same neighborhood every day together. Yeah. Oh, that's good. I have taught them to close the honeyhole. though. I mean, I do feel like they're probably my future workforce, and I can count on them to be there because they live, you know.

And you'll always get you money back. Yeah. And that's the best part. But they used to, when the school would get out and it was just me up there, I'd be like, they'd show up and be like, help me close and you get a discount. So you're Willie. A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Hired his youth group and helped run duck commander, then play poker with him on Friday night, got all his money back every Friday. And then you see what he did with it. So there you go. There you go. Rob in America's youth. I love it. I am not.

I'm encouraging them to get outside and teach them about economic. I'm kidding. They give you money. You give them a product. That's fair. I forgot to ask them if they believed in Black Panthers. Wow. Raise your hands quick.

Black Panthers real? Yeah, there you go. All four. Oh, wow. I believe he's got a story. Well, if there were. was ever four guys I would say are on brand for Sy Robertson's clientele, I would. I'd be it?

Yeah. I found them. They did say he was her favorite. Who, Cy? Oh, for sure. Well, absolutely. He's my favorite, too. I mean, no offense to you, boys.

Or myself. None day. I like it more than me too. Yeah, if I'd have dinner with me or Cy, I'd pick Cy. I mean, it's fine. Like, that ain't a big deal. Let's get in my way. Chug, chug, chug.

He washing down in chocolate. Yeah, boy. That guard ball's going to stay with me. Anyway, well, let's take, I guess we're taking another break. Yeah, we'll do, we're kind of out of sorts here. Who knows where we're at, but we're going to do emails next. All right, perfect. We'll be back right after this.

That works, you might have a bunch of them. All right, Dan. All right, we're back. Hello at duck callroom.com. That's the inbox. Johnny D. is frantically scrolling through it currently. Not really, he was reading. I could see he was reading.

Did we get any Gar Commander emails? I got some messages on Instagram saying, who was that? Y'all said follow? I brought them. I brought them today. I told them, ACAR, commanders, West Monroe, or whatever it is. We have one.

What? It says equals mega gar. Because that's the funniest part to this whole thing to me. Mega gar. We call everything a gar that's awful. And then these guys are like, we're going for them. Yeah. Hey, stand out.

Like, in a world that you could be anything, be yourself. They're all high-fiving over there right now. Yeah, heck yeah. But Abe from Oregon emailed in, and he said, not being allowed to pump gas equals mega-gar. And I was like, I don't even know what that means. He wants our opinion on Oregon's law making it so you can't pump your own gas. He personally finds it pretty silly, but it would be fun to hear our thoughts.

Why? I don't know. Oregon's close to Canada. Is that a thing, Beth? Beth's looking at me dirty right now. I'm sorry. I don't get it. Why can't you pump your own gas?

Lazyness. Yeah, New Jersey has the same thing. Yeah. New Jersey has the same thing. has the same long? Do they, all right, Josh, you see you're nodding in agreement, or at least you're, at least nodding, why. Is that his name?

Yeah. Well, big hair. Big hair is what we call him. But his given name is Josh. Potentially dangerous, I think is what they say. You know, like you're not a trained professional. You know, I will say that I've run across people that I'd be scared to let them pump their own gas, you know?

Oh, wait. Now I'm reading it, and apparently Oregon just let them start pumping their own gas. They let them go back? Yeah, so they went back. But I'll say this. I went on a date with a girl in high school, and she was about out of gas, and I said, do you want to pull over and get gas?

And she said, I don't know how. And I said, you're driving this car. How do you not? I'm confused. It's okay. She's definitely not listening. She doesn't know how to pump her on gas. This isn't the show for her.

But she went to like the one place in town where they pumped your gas for you. Back in the day. I mean, back in the day, in 2005. They used to have self-served. 1951 was when that was. But people in Oregon don't put there on a ban. That was established before 51.

Convenient stores up north don't have gas pumps? They do, but they have to have a person to pump it for you. Well, just in New Jersey, apparently. But Oregon before you yesterday. From the store? Hmm. I wonder if you got a dollar more or an hour for that. I mean, I don't mind.

the thought of somebody pumping my gas if it's a legitimate service like that yeah you're gonna claim my windshield yeah yeah like check my tire pressure and all that stuff like they used to do back on andy griffith like okay yeah like that's fine but just because you don't want to get out or if you bought gas that was part of the service that went with it yeah you got lost your windshield wipers you know check your tire pressure yeah well my truck cuts off at a hundred dollars the machine just stops and so I believe I'd deserve somebody to do something. At least give me a high five and a hug for breaking me. That's just weird that the government would say you can't do that.

That's one of, there's a lot of other things. I think we should probably say you can't do. Well, they had a lot of hand injuries back then. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Do they spill the gas? Or maybe they're smoking while they do it. I mean, that's dumb.

I don't know. I've seen that before. Yeah. It's a weird thing. I don't know. People smoking and pumping gas. Yeah. Willie doesn't turn his car off and it makes me mad.

He said they don't do it in NASCAR. Every time I'm like, you're supposed to turn your car off. He's like, they don't do it in NASCAR. I don't turn mine on. If Paul is in the car. That's a rule. If I do it. I don't know why it's a rule.

So you can pump your car while it's running? Yeah. You can, but I can. I know. I think the one issue that happens. It's a special thing that you've got to do. I think they say like the car running. If you're super.

low on gas and you do that leave it running your you could vapor lock your engine or something or your tank or something too i ain't getting gas till i'm five miles to empty oh no no see yeah you got it goes through a lot of fuel pumps getting all that trash in there that that's why won't this thing run all right Kyle 30 years old uh lower new york state lower lower so the bottom part of it um he's been hunting all of his life. Well, but he really step it up back around the 2020s, right?

The year that everybody was just outside. We were off. So he's gone turkey hunting, no luck. Small game hunting slightly better. Hunting white tails, absolutely no luck. Manly hunts on state land because it's

a little tough, he says. But his question is this. How do you deal with the discourage when it comes to hunting. He's discouraged. He ain't killing nothing. Well, he got a scout. Yeah, the more time you spend in the woods,

you better get at your craft. But how I deal with it, like this weekend, duck hunting was pretty pitiful overall. I mean, you know, we killed them. But like it's teal and shovelers and stuff that don't really work. They just kind of fly. And the ones that want to come in, they'll come in. They don't, they don't.

But not my kind of duck hunting. I don't enjoy that. So you just don't go. When you know it's not going to be any good, you just don't go. So here's his problem though. He's out here fighting public land, so it ain't never going to be. Yeah, that'll never be empty. But like if you're on public land, then I would probably go on the days when most people wouldn't go.

To learn to blow a duck call, I had my mom drop me off at the sanctuary every day. Now, I can't hunt there, but I went and listened to wild ducks every day. Did you really? Yes, absolutely. I've never heard this. Yeah. How old were you? I was 11. Teachers, say it all. Practice make perfect.

Yeah. Absolutely. Just more time. Immerse yourself in it. No, we got to go back to this. You've got to pay the price. That's amazing. So at 11 years old, I didn't know this.

I knew like your parents thought, hey, we're going to keep him hunting to keep them out of trouble. Which is kind of what our friends cigar commanders' parents are like, hey, send them to the woods. Amen. There you go. But I did not have a clue that. At 11 years old, you're just sitting on the banks of the sanctuary. Uh-huh.

Yeah, at the lookout deal out there at Darbon Bayou where you could overlook the beanfield. How long would she drop you off for? She'd come out and give me a dart. I mean, I wouldn't do it, nothing. I just sitting there listening to ducks. I had my duck call with me. Walking around. I had my duck call and I was just sitting there listening.

Then I, you know, I was real quiet. I was like shy. Like I was going to embarrass myself in front of the ducks or something. I don't know. But I just was like, then I try it. and they'd all get quiet. And I was like, no, that wasn't it. I tried again.

Once I got back to chat, that ain't it. And then one day, and they did it back to me. And I said, okay, we're on to something. We're getting there now. Your mic. So your mic's gone. You drinking that tea.

They're actually fun to watch. Okay, because, I mean, they're very playful. Yeah. They have a good time. I mean, they have a good time. Yeah, when there's no pressure on them and they're just being ducks, they're a really interesting animal to watch. To watch.

You know how when you get in a swimming pool and somebody splashes you? Uh-huh. Ducks started that. That's just interesting. The fact that you're 11 just sitting there honing, and which is why you are one of the better probably duck collars on Earth? No, well. He's good.

No, I'm decent. He's good. I'm decent. I'm not great. Like, I've hunted with people who are great. I'm not great. Well, that's like, okay. Phil Robertson is great.

But you're in, like, probably the top 200 human beings. On killing ducks, yes, competition. On duck calling. Well, I have to kill it. Hey, when you go, okay, like, you know, Duck Calling Championship. That ain't real. They do things, okay, they do things, okay,

that a duck don't do. But their air pressure, control and what they can do with a single read-it instrument is nothing short of impressive. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, the same thing goes with shooting. Do it a lot. Okay.

I know people that they are champion ski shooters. Yeah. They don't miss. I can't hit a duck with a bull and a base, you know, a bass fiddle. Yeah, they're definitely ragged at it. Yeah. What did you say? Now, this is a man that shoots skis and wins all the championship.

That's because it's muscle memory. He bust them all. He knows when that thing's going off. It's coming across that fast. Boom. Get him in a duck line. And he's like, oh. First 10 ducks he shot at, miss.

Mm-hmm. Totally different thing. It is. Totally different. Yeah. So that's why Martin, what he said was key. Hey, you got to put the time in. Yeah.

Immersion. And that doesn't mean hunting necessarily. Yeah. Just be out there with them. Be in it and learn from them. Learn your critter. Yeah. learn their habitat, learn everything.

That's like deer, okay? Deer are one of the most camouflage animals that I think I've ever seen. Because when they're standing still, they're hard to see. You don't see them unless they move. I'm serious.

You don't see them unless they move. But that principle outside of hunting can be taken in any point of life. Yeah. Do you want to get better at being a Christian and read your Bible every day. You want to get better at cooking, cook. You want to get better at, like, do all the things.

Just keep going. Just keep going. You've got to put the time in. Put the time. That's what Paula said. She looked at me the other day and said, is that grill, bro? I don't think so. Let me show you how to turn it on.

Johnny D, send us out of here with the Bible. Send us out of here. Here's one for the gar commanders themselves. Proverbs 1227, the lazy. do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. Get out there in the woods and on the water and just keep going, and you'll get better at it, Kyle.

We're out. We'll see y'all next time. Bye.
