All right, welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. We're back. The boss has made an appearance. The boss. He has informed us that he's going to do his best impression of his dad today, so less of him and more of us, which I'm sure is what you tuned in for. It won't be. His best impression of his dad is.

We have that video. We have that video. A lot of foolishness going on here. A lot of last. But laughing, tomfoolery going on. Before we get into the fold. A lot of jokesters here. A lot of jokey jokesters here.

Funny ha ha ha ha ha, funny stuff. You boys are regular comedians. Y'all should do a show. We're trying to. He's going to keep character for it. I know. I was going to try before that he went into that to get, I know him and sigh are going hunting today.

Together? No. Against one another. Against one another. It's a competition and, hey, it's already decided. Okay, I'm winning. Where's the competition at? It's on Phil's property.

My property. Oh, I had a hard time losing on my property. Well, it's just going to happen today. You boys, going after them big bucks. That's it. Hey. It's not how big. It's how many.

You should have been with us yesterday. Uh-oh. We didn't see, but 50. 50 deer. 50 deer. Eight bucks. Three of them was big ones. One of them was a old one, and we would have shot him if he had come up there,

you know, in a little closer range. 700 was too much at dark. It's kind of like this podcast. Hey. Three big ones, one old one. well I take it back That's your best line

I had no idea where that was going I'll fix hey You get what you get boys I was trying to figure out how this was 700 yards to dark Hey I had no idea Hey I tell you this

Because I love you Well are we going to sweeten the pot on this thing Anyway Hey, we're going to deer hunt. I'm still on the deer hunting. I'm just finding this out. What are we doing? We're going to deer hunting.

Okay. Not together. Not together. Two different stands. Copy them. And we're actually hunting a Pacific deer. Very Pacific. His name is, the deer's name is a Asian deer.

Toothpiff. Yeah. Toothpick. Toothpick. Yeah. But if another one, if another one old enough and bigger enough, you shoot what's available. Okay.

But we are going after two-pick. We're going after two. And he's been seen at both stands. He's been seen at both stands. So we've both got 50-50 chances actually seeing him and we're getting a shot. Have you seen him? I've seen a picture of him on the videos. Have you seen him?

Yes, he's seen him. Yeah, I've seen him. Yeah, he's a... Who chooses who's staying? How's that going to work? Well, I'm assuming size hunting his stand. Well, hey, that's the deal. I'm hunting my stand.

So you've got the advantage. And then I'm hunting the new set. You're hunting the grove, what we call the grove. Okay. And that is a thicket. Okay. And big bucks like thicket. Big bucks like thickets.

So probably if you say who's got the advantage, I would say you really have got the advantage. Aren't grove and thicket like anonyms of one another? Martin Smart. Martin's smarter than most. You would think it would be named the thicket. thicket not the grove. The grove is where ULM tailgate. Well, look, I didn't name them.

Okay, I didn't name them. The man that, you know, is doing all the work. Let me guess. He hung toothpick on that rascal, too. He hung toothpick on. Have you killed a deer this year? No, I had, I was going to shoot at dough, but we, we was hunting. Something hot.

Hunting big bucks. So we, you know. When did you start hunting big bucks? Well, Stone's got me. you're on the program too yeah i'm on the management program with stone okay because like he's the he's the manager and when we're in the stand i just look at him and he you know he gives you the call yeah i said well it's up to you you're managing this thing if he goes this you just right no no that's why i shocked him like last year we're hunting on the corridor and the biggest deer on the property come up there

and he's like oh 60 to 80 yards And he said, all right, old man, look at him and then tell me what you're going to do. So I put my binocular on him, check him out real good. And I said, you're not going to believe this stone. And he said, what? I said, he ain't old enough to shoot. We're going to give him one more year. Wow.

And then the lady's next door property is the one that shot him. Oh, so he got smoked. Yeah, but he was at the end of the season. So he had already, you know, he had been with the women to take care of business. The parts I didn't tell you is three days before that. He missed a deer by eight feet. Well, no, no, that was a day. I actually saw that.

No, no. Hey, look, I told him. I said, look, if you had one of the medical monsters hooked to me right now, they would say, hey, throw dirt in his face because he's dead. Because I just, you know, I know better. I didn't squeeze the trigger. No, I jerked the gun. Yeah, I saw the shot.

It looked like you shot from a boat. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, no. A moving boat. Hey, no, you're not the only one to say it. It's stolen. Put it on the public broadcast system.

The whole world saw it. Yeah. I saw it on the news. Yeah. Okay. Two deer stacked on top of each other, but he still wasn't hitting. That's the beauty of it.

All it happens. I don't know if anyone that's hunted that hasn't missed. No, most of us just don't do it on camera. Tell you they did, didn't. Okay, they're liars. Okay. They're like politicians. Their lips were moving, they're liars.

Oh, wow. Wow. Aggressive takes? Here in the morning. I came hot today. He came hot. Hey. But he's matured.

Y'all missed that he's matured. Well, that's for me being active. Oh, wow. We want to ask Kim about that? You know why he's in such good shape? And he hadn't gained weight from all the ice. It's because he's... I'm active, boy.

Active. His words, not ours. I don't want to know what that means. That's what I asked. Yeah, that's what I told him. I said, y'all had to define it, you know, whenever you get ready. Yeah. Apparently he's working out.

I said, hey, I sleep, you know, about 10.30 in the morning, get up and then get in my recliner, spend the rest of the day there. Yeah. Define the rest of the day. Two, three. Right. Four o'clock, five. Oh.

Because after that, you know, and it's somewhere between one and four, I take a nap. in the recliner there's no head in bed i get back to bed okay it's more comfortable man talk about the american dream hey look uncle sign bass in all i all that i say is i must need it because hey i can do it and actually sleep yeah will you sleep on the deer stand this afternoon no no he'll be bright-eyed and bushy town hey i'll be bright-eyed and bushie who are you who are you hunting with me and stone i think hunting and then you and uh You're a cameraman and whoever else is aboard. We may have a guest in my stand, I don't know.

You know, that's up to stone. There's plenty of room. Well, I'm just saying. Yeah, it's a hotel. It's not the old stand. Yeah, it's a hotel. No, it's the duck blind. Oh, the duck.

Yeah, that's now size. Yeah, episode two of Duck Dynasty. That's size deer stand. Yeah. Oh, so you'll be, oh, so you've got, okay, so you'll be in there. How far away are we from each other? Probably maybe 152 yards. What?

Well, hey. You get on your manager. This is an educated guess. Okay, I'm not sure. We're in the same general area. I mean, technically, you could spook my deer. No, I'm not going to spook nothing. Although I kind of like him being there.

I know he won't be there. I can weed that spot out. Well, no, no, I've told you, you have the advantage here. Okay, you know. Well, as landowner, he probably should. Well, no, no, he does. You know, you just down there. That gives him that right to have the advantage.

Okay. What's the advantage? I just didn't realize we were that close. Huh. What's the advantage? I may be wrong. I think it, it's probably 200, maybe 250. We're in the same general area.

Because that thicket is right to my left of my stand. It's where it comes out. Okay. So I'm where it opens up, okay, is where I'm hunting. So why does Willie have the advantage? Because he's in the thick. Because he's in the thick. He's in the thick.

On the corridor. And the deer is in the thick. No, I'm not right. Somewhere in there. No, my stand is going around the corner to go down. Yeah. Okay. I just don't want to make sure you don't have a weapon that could reach me.

Oh, hey, I couldn't get a bullet to you. you know if you stand there if you stand there like a deer you'll be safe i saw how bad you missed the deer yeah and it was high on the public broadcasting system yeah it wasn't low i'm just saying hey i can't get to you because of the thicket okay it the bullet wouldn't make it one in a million shot dot yeah it would be it would be one in you know like you know hey yeah a thousand maybe trillion oh one in a thousand maybe a trillion hey one in a thousand i'm not a million i mean one in a thousand Not the odds. Okay.

You might come back alive. One in a thousand chance you don't. I'm rooting for you. Yeah. There's going to be changes. My eyes are probably better than it is anyway. But since the deer stays in tickets, okay, generally a buck stays in thickets. You have the advantage.

I wish this thing has stadium seating where I could just go watch. I did put it a drone up. Oh, no. Live broadcast. I could just watch. Look, the thing about him where he's sitting. he'd just he'll be sitting there and he'd just look up and he'd be under him hmm okay I'm I'm serious he could come from anywhere

oh I he could be you wouldn't hear him and he could be standing on your stamp that's what you got that's what you got Jordan for though Jordan been in the world that's like you know yeah it's north the Grove ticket northwest northwest yeah Grove thickets I was just going to do a quick cursory check of the wind but look Willie brought it might change you Yeah, yeah. The biggest problem is we need a way for Sada to stay silent tonight, so I'm going to get out of here and we'll figure that out.

Ooh, I like what you did there. 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 we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedales beef makes such a good product, baby.

Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sall Robertson would say, buy on a 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. Tritels 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 either, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. I got to say, if you've never been deer hunting with Sigh, though, it is one of the best afternoons of your life.

Well, no, no. Because I deer hunting me that one time. We ain't ever laughed so much. No, no, no. He tried to talk himself into that phone being a big dough by the time it got dark. I'm like, it's the same 60-pound phone that's been there, man. That's she ain't moved. I was bad about that.

Yeah, he just, oh, that's a different one. That was big. I'm like, she has never left our field of sight. How can it be a different deer? But I was actually hunting one night and it gets dark and they always wait the big bucks to do. It's dark and come out on food plots. So I'm sitting there and it's like three or four doles and yearlings around and right in front of me. Well, way down there, 200 yards away, three deer come out and they're big.

All three of them are big. and I said I've seen what you've reasoned as big. Well, no, no, no, these were all big there and I said, I just go ahead and pop one because I know they got horns because they're too big. And I sit there and just watched them

for another 30 minutes and it just got slammed where you could see nothing. And I said, no, I ain't going to do it. And then he went to the house. I went to the house. Well, since you started in on all that, we didn't get a chance to introduce our guest who's sitting beside you.

you, but he does make a product that may be of some interest to you, Sigh. Well, what's the product that this young man is sitting beside me? And I think your name is Brendan, sir. It is Brandon. Okay, what do you, what do you make that can help this old man or this way? Suppressers, silencers for hunting. Oh, okay. Yeah. Do you make any for 75-year-old men? Absolutely. So we can keep him quiet a little bit. We can quiet him down to a, to a manageable level. They've been trying to put the muzzle on me for years. I don't want a muzzle.

I'm just saying just a knob. Oh, no. I see it now. They slipped in here and I see it now. Look, there you go. Here's the thing. Okay, the man I hunt with, okay, he is great with old people and children. Okay, and I'm a little bit of both.

Okay, so he's got his handful. But anyway, Stone has this, okay, on his, on his six. point five creed more, which really is mine, but I gave it to his daughter, BK, okay, because she's my hunting partner and fishing partner. And when I go with her, she always strapped me, okay? So, you know, that's life. But now we've got one of these. No.

Well, of course we've got one of those. That was, we've got one of those. You can leave now. Well, no, no. Hey, don't, we'll order more. Okay, because he, you know. Yeah. He's the one that makes them.

Well, I understand that. The one that Stone has, he made it. Well, I understand that. And, hey, that is a great, great item to help. Expect me for, okay. For this. Up, microphone. Yeah.

Yep, there you go. Or your ears for ear protection. Yeah. Okay, because, hey, this, you know, makes a rifle, usually makes a pretty good noise. well that will tune it down a lot of decibels man they ought to hire you as well does that make sense to you right you understand how it works Brandon is that in fact what it does

I was just making sure you understand well size explaining suppression well I actually today you're using my rifle uh oh so you actually have a really big advantage oh I get used you're using my rifle with my suppressor with our new buck commander suppressor with the zy scope yeah is that yeah okay all right it is okay yeah so it is well it is never i'll just say this it's never mr dear okay well i'll just say this now okay your advantage just went out the window okay

now you have the advantage oh now i have the advantage hands down you have my My weapon. I've got a Zyskold. You got acres of property. On your car, your weapon, okay, which is never Mr. Deer. With a silencer central suppressor. With a suppressor, okay, which will I just say flat out, you're a liar, okay, and I know it, you know it, okay. The American public.

Who's a lot? And the American public, no, you ain't, you ain't killed every deer you've ever shot at. With this gun. With this gun, I have. No, that's, that's not a lie. And I can test. I know it. I can testify about it.

Okay. I'll buy that. Its own video. I'll buy that. He's never said that about the others. Well, I was just fixing it. He said about the others. He said about this one.

I was just fixed it. He said it about this gun. This gun has never missed to do it. Oh, I'll buy that. Yeah. Okay. I apologize for calling you a liar. Okay.

All right. Brand is this what you're going to get into? Well, no, no. With that gun. Okay. With this gun. So yeah. Okay.

So if you miss, it will be the first miss. Oh, now he's putting me under pressure Hey, look, just turned about three more Franks Okay No, actually don't touch anything on it Just the trigger Please don't touch anything

Oh, I'm not Just aim like you did The only thing I'm gonna do Like you did the last one off the cruise ship And just squeak Just jerk that trigger back In a violent of hurricane Oh man

On the cruise ship in a violent of hurricane Yeah Okay, well I said that dough Okay It's not really how I saw this This is not how I saw this segment going. But hey, Brandon, stick around with us and, you know, maybe, I'll let you talk this time. We'll be back right after this.

Okay. Hey, hey, I wanted to say some. Okay, go ahead. We got Brandon here. So when you shoot a rifle, it makes a loud noise. And so these things are really good because they'll make that noise not so loud. Is that right, Sam? Yeah.

Well, it seems like my day for apology. I apologize, Brandon. for you know since they put me in this today is okay look I screwed up all right now all right here we go all right here again

you ain't screwed nothing up you ain't it's funny well hey that's not as funny you were telling the man that's what he does for a living it does for a living but you explained it for the common man well hey look

it's a you know if my here's my advice to all of you that hunt okay If you're using a high-powered rifle, take the time to apply, okay, to get you one of these suppressors. Absolutely. And why should he do that, Brandon? Like a human commercial. He's like a human-infomercial.

Now I'll let him tell them why they should do that. Yeah, exactly. Well, he pretty much summed it up, right? If you're shooting a high-powered rifle, you don't want that recoil and you don't want that sound, so if you can put a suppressor on the end, why wouldn't you, right? Yeah. But that, I missed the part, the most important part. So with that, is that with the suppressor, okay,

it also lessens the recoil on it. Which gets important when you get your age. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. It's important at any age. I know, but when that bones get thinner.

Well, I'm just saying, okay, when you get excited, okay, and like when I'm out in God's creation, watching God's creatures, I get excited. Especially if they got a bunch of this, like that rustle right there. there okay hey you know if that don't make your blood get hot and boil okay what's probably or throw dirt in your face there you go okay but recoil is very important yeah 100% okay because that's why normally you miss okay is you do not just gently squeeze the trigger like that day like you like that day I did on the dough I jerked it okay That was funny.

We'll have to run that clip again. I wish I had it somewhere close where Brandon could watch it. Because I don't think you make a product for that, Brandon. Wow. Brandon is here. He sponsors us for Buck Commander. And he has an incredible story, really, of his journey of how he got in this business. But I also want to hear about you had something cool happen a week and a half ago.

He called into a radio show and asked for some advice. And I got to be a part of the, how long ago from the call to a week or two ago? About 12 years. 12 years. So yeah, tell us about the story, kind of how you got into. Actually, tell us that story. Okay. And then we'll hear the rest of it.

Sure. So I called in Dave Ramsey's show, financial planner. Yeah. And I'm a pharmacist by education and trade. And my parents are really big into do well in high school, do well in college. do well in college, go to graduate school, and then work in that job forever. That's kind of how I was raised in the South. And I got to the point where I really want to do suppressors. And I knew it'd probably be a letdown for my parents, because when you first start, you're not

obviously going to sell a ton of them. And I think they felt like you went to college for eight years, and you want to do what? So I called Dave and said, hey, what do you think? And kind of gave him my story of having been in the pharmaceutical industry and moved up really well. And I think he was convinced I could probably run my own business. And the income was getting close to where it would be similar to what I was making as a pharmacist. And Dave really encouraged me to sort of follow my heart and do what I wanted to do and not necessarily worry about the way I was raised or the way my parents thought I should be doing. And, you know, I'd talked to Willie a couple years ago and he said he was coming to Sioux Falls to hunt or coming to South Dakota to hunt.

and I asked him who he's come with. He said, Dave, so I reached out to Dave's assistant. I just kind of found her online, kind of guess what her email address would be, emailed her, and I looked like I was best friends of Willie, which wasn't true. I just said, hey, I heard from Willie that Dave's coming to hunt. And so last year, Dave said he would stop, and then it just didn't work out.

Yeah, we're really close to the airport, but, of course, he was going further west to hunt. So this year, Dave and Willie and the other group that came with, Dave Ramsey stopped by the office. So Dave, Dave was not familiar with my call, obviously, from it being so long ago, but I kind of walked him through the call where I called him to get his advice. And I told him that as I was on my journey, I would often look back and say, wow, it wouldn't be cool if I could get Dave here to see what I've done, you know, 200 employees and, you know, a large, successful business and, you know, locations in 42 states. And so kind of really a dream come true that willie kind of helped me connect with Dave. And Dave agreed to come.

And he wasn't familiar with the story, so it was exciting to tell him. I felt like a lot of pride and ownership from his perspective to convince me to do that. It was cool to see that happen. What if he would have said, have you lost your mind? No, pharmacy, that's where it's at. That's a growing business. What if he would have told you that? Do you think you would have buck the advice and still went with the?

I don't know because you got to realize like my wife is very similar to my parents. She's a pharmacist too. So everyone in my life was, you know, play it safe. Do what your parents told you to do. Don't take any risk. That's the environment I was in. So really, Dave was the first person to kind of say, hey, you know, what's interesting is I could tell he owned silencers. Because I said, you know, there's a negative connotation around silencers.

And I sense it's probably my parents think that's not a good thing and probably look down on it. And he's like, oh, no, they're not that bad. I can tell he probably owned one. And he admitted he was a firearms collector. So that's a good question. I don't know if I would have. Just because no one else in my life had ever said, hey, you ought to take a risk. Because my whole life was surrounded around people that are risk-averse.

They were like, oh, don't take any risk. Just what you went to school for. I want to go back ask the question. Yes, sir. How much time year-wise did you do on your education? So I went to pharmacy school. That took six years. So I went to Chapel Hill in North Carolina.

And then I did two years on my MBA at Duke, so eight years of college school. Eight years. Yeah. Okay. And then your dream was that you wanted to do the suppressors. You know what? It's something I started doing honestly as a hobby job. I would just do the gun shows and they're typically in the winter.

So I would do it on the weekends. But over time, I thought, man, I could really grow this into something. Like, I was very passionate about it. So, um. Well, no, because, because the people, the phrase is, okay, if you do something that you love to do, you don't ever work a day in your life. 100%. Totally agree.

Okay. So, so our education is the reason I brought this up, you know, me personally. When I was in college, okay, because mom, mom made me go to college because I told her, hey, don't waste your money. How long did that last? How long did that last? Semester. Yeah.

A full one? A full one. Yeah. But anyway, the reason I want to bring this up, okay, is that most of my buddies that was like two years older than me had went to college, had got a degree, and then they were flipping hamburgers for McDonald's and Burger King. Well, that kind of just turned me off about college. I said, because why would you wait for more? Most of your buddies were doing, and that's what I'm doing it. to them.

No, no, I'm serious. Wow. Because the education system, we're graduating seniors that have been four years of college, and there really is no job out there for them. Even back then? Even back then. And it's still the same to date. Oh, yeah.

The medical field. Well, no, no, because, hey, the medical field, okay, there's always going to be a job for people, for nurses, doctors, pharmacies, all that. because the human race is going to be sick going to get hurt and all that but the other stuff you know why would you spend eight years all that other stuff no why would you spend eight years going to college when there's not a job available when you get out and when you go for a you put your resume and go for the interview and the guy turns to you and says well you know I'm sorry but I can't I can't use you you're overeducated and I mean there's

There's a lot of people that heard that phrase. I can't use you. You're overeducated. That's kind of funny. You say that. Well, I'm serious. PE coach, biologist, pharmacists. I bet you've never heard that then.

Well, no, no, because look. I bet you've never heard that statement. No, I haven't. No, I haven't. Because, hey, look, I will say this. Having that piece of paper saying you're educated, open doors that I will not be able ever get in. That's how you get in any door.

you won't. You can get in that, buddy. Yeah, for real. All right, quit playing. You don't need a degree. You're there, Dad. All you got is go. You made it.

When you said that, okay, that, hey, that's his do it. That's the Almighty's doing. Okay. You can stop in Sue Falls and walk in there and get you some pressure if you wanted to do, I bet. It's really, it's amazing, okay, that this man spent eight years of his life, okay, was in a job that he liked, okay, that he chose. but his dream was, okay, I want to do something else. And he's made it work.

Well, he can still always do that. What the press is it? He can fall back. He has got that as a cushion. He's got a great backup quarterback. He's got a good cushion. Okay. I will say that.

That allows him to do what he's done, which is fantastic. So tell me this. Did you learn anything in your education that actually helped with business or was it is it just apples and oranges? I think so especially the MBA training just the business side yeah just forcing no doubt okay that education will help you in your endeavors right yeah okay and even in being in the pharmaceutical industry my first job out of pharmacy school sales so that obviously helped when I was working the gun shows sales and be able to sell them yeah yeah and just change your widget yeah totally selling them right and and you wouldn't believe how big

like how many how many suppressor or like in the system right now or whatever however you want to categorize that of in the process or that you're processing at this moment

so we have about 100,000 of them sitting on the shelf that people are waiting for the ATF to approve 100,000 that's cool which is fantastic yeah that's right

and that's the thing I was going to do. Yeah they're not they're flexly the people they're waiting on the government Yeah, but it's a lot easier to obtain a suppressor these days, right? I mean, that's one of the things you guys are known for.

Yeah, absolutely, yeah. So I would say that, you know, what I found working the gun shows over the years is that a lot of people are hesitant to buy a suppressor because they don't want to have to deal with the process and the paperwork. So we basically create an entire business model around that of how do we make the process super, super simple for a customer to buy a silencer. And essentially, we have a team in place and technology in place where it's really turned key.

It's, you know, a couple digital signatures on an email you get, and the next thing you know, it shows up at your front door. Yeah, because you're talking 12 and 18 months is the normal. And right now we're at about six and a half months, but you're right. It'll vary over time. But right now they're doing an all-digital process, which has sped it up quite a bit, and we're tapped into that from a digital perspective where we can submit it all digitally for our customers.

And, yeah, just my business insight talking to customers is they were concerned about the process. So really spent the last almost 20 years figuring out how to make the process easier for the customer. So in that time frame, if you hunt, that's about the off season. Yeah. As long as you do it by February, you're looking pretty solid. Totally. If you wait until November, you know, you have to wait until next season to play with your toy.

But that's fine. Like patience is a good thing. But I noticed you said that silencer, suppressors, whatever, have a negative connotation. Or you were, you know, they were perceived. It has. I think it's gotten better. Yeah. Just more use, more education, more people utilizing them.

I would say our number one sales tool is their buddy owns one and loves it. And I've never had anyone that bought one that didn't like it. And a great way to get kids introduced to the outdoors, right? I mean, take the loud bang away and then all of a sudden kids want to keep shooting. Yep. Take the recoil away. Then all of a sudden they're not flinching or hurting or anything. And in a time in the hunting industry when our youth participation is pretty low compared to our adult participation.

I mean, it's a huge tool for us to help get kids back in the outdoors. Really a benefit to us at Silencer Central is partnering with the Buck Commander team, and they really have that audience that's into the hunting. And so to have them be an advocate for us and to be able to use the products. And then, you know, even they approached us and said, hey, Silencer Central, we feel like there's a gap. There's not really a suppressor or Silencer out there specifically for the hunting, specifically for deer.

We'd like to partner with you all and create one specifically for that, and then we'll help you co-promote it. We're that passionate, there's an opportunity there. So it's been a good setup where, you know, silence or Citral's expertise is the process. And then the Buckingamander team is really to understand that customer and that consumer that's hunting and relate to them and show them the benefits of it.

So it's been a nice, it's been a great partnership. Awesome, man. Well, I'll fix it. You make a great product, okay, that is, there's, I don't think there's any negative with it. Okay. because in the hunting world, okay, being quiet is important. Absolutely.

Okay. The safety is also there, you know, so it's a win-win situation. It's funny to hear you say being quiet is important. Well, no, no, it is. Your whole business model is based off the exact option. We need a silence. Yeah, can you put some long gray hairs off the front of that thing? Make them blow back whenever you should.

we need a little silencer I'll put this to screw on a couple of things whoever can make a silencer okay will be very they'll make a lot of money if you can shut me up

or you can make some cash oh man well Brandon thanks so much for stopping them man good getting to chat and I think the way I've understood it is you may actually get one of life's great pleasures and get the hunt with sigh this evening

so I think your odds are going on. Oh, now I know who. Oh, well, you are really stagnant. Hey, the advantage just went back to you. Oh, no, no. Oh, man. No, no, because of him because of me. Oh, yeah.

He's got to entertain. Y'all are going to be laughing. Because, hey, I, you know, we're mad. And now you're going to be nervous because he's going to be watching you. Like you are when you pee. No. No. No, because I'll give you an example.

Me and Dr. Dean. Stone, friend, invite him over. Okay, we're in the stand, okay. You know, and Stone is over there saying, you know, and me and Dr. Dana were laughing and playing, having a good time. Okay, we actually, you know, Stone had to leave for some reason. Oh, no, he's hunting another stand.

That's what it was. He killed a deer. We heard him shoot. Well, me and Dr. Dana sit in there laughing and talking and having a good time, yo. And I looked and I said, that's a buck over, you know. out in the field, you know. And I said, you know, I looked at him.

I said, too young, can't shoot him. Yeah. You know, and I said, Stone's already killed one. I said, I'm mad now. Well, I'm sitting there again. I look over there if something moves. I look over to the right, and I said, hey, there's a buck.

And I hand, I hand Dr. Tene the binocry. And I said, look at him and see what you think. Well, right when I hand it to him, I just, pangio! I didn't have a silence either. you know he went you know he was like this he went yeah he said i thought you wanted me to decide whether you shoot him not i said i made him up i changed my mind he changes mind boys also uh Dave and I came out Luke brown stopped by too last week huh yeah absolutely yeah he was in a concert man yeah South Dakota yeah

everybody rolling through there no it's perfect what do you think about the operation oh he liked it yeah yeah how many how many free products did he ask for All of them. Yeah. Yeah. That's what he does when he comes here. Oh, does he? Yeah.

If he saw that stack of shotgun shells behind me, he'd be like, uh, yeah. I really hope he would start making some money so he can quit asking. I know. I mean, I guess American Idol and concert. Not enough. Not and everything else that he owns. Yeah. Every other little venture.

Everything else in southeastern United States. Hey, that's one of these. Come on, man. Yeah. Oh, man. Come on, Luke. Yeah. I do love it.

But how, Brandon, just before you go, if people want to find out more about you guys, we'll put it in the description too, but just so you can call it out, silencercentral.com. Yeah,

Silencer. com, yeah. Just do a Google search, call us or buy it online, whatever works. And be that simple. A couple of digital signatures and this on your way.

So ladies, if you're listening and you can't figure out what to get your husband for Christmas, this is a pretty good one. Absolutely. They're never going to say no to the suppressor. The Buck Commander Edition.

Yeah. Absolutely. This has been super popular. We just launched it recently. But the bigger reminder, too, is we let people pay while they wait. So you don't have to pay for it all at once. Pay while you wait. No, no interest, no fees, nothing. If you pay more, does the weight get shorter? No, well, I was wondering if you can see a little status more. Well, if I throw a little bit cash at it, does that get a little shorter? No. Oh, man. Well, thanks so much, and we appreciate you. And good luck to you all this evening. And keep doing what you're doing, man. Appreciate you guys. Yep. Thanks for having me. All right. All right.

Well, that was fun, and we didn't even say let's go Brandon one time. I'm proud of us. I'm really upset with y'all because I was sitting over there and I was like, man, you could really just sneak that in over and over. You could really kind of hammer that one home. But, you know, we're not political. We didn't want to ruffle any feathers or bring any of that stuff in. But Johnny D. We're not political. Well, we try not to be. I mean, I think it's pretty obvious of where we stand on that. So take a guess. No reason to talk about it. Hello at Duckcallroom.com. That's the email address. Johnny D. You got anything for the boss in there? Do you all want to get political, though? We can go back to. Oh. Oh, yeah.

I can go back to this guy. The founding fathers. George Washington. Thomas. Thomas. Jefferson. Writers. Oh, chicken men.

Oh, chicken eaters. Oh, it's not working. What's not working? Johnny D. Oh, you found the video. I just had a shot. Wow. Look at that.

Hey, Mr. Silencer, man, does your weapon-altering thing make it drop by 30 yards? Yeah. Check in. I mean, look at that. Just a bit outside. Hey, the reason I actually really did that, I didn't want to kill her. Yeah.

I changed my mind right in the stride, boys. You didn't come close to killing her. I love size reasoning for things when they don't go as he expected. They didn't show up. I didn't want to do. with this, but I always got a good excuse. But anyway. Email.

Anyhow. Beth was asking me, where's that video? I said, oh, I bet I can find it. Here's a good question for Sy when Willie's there. Okay. Okay. Fire away. That's what it says.

It's from the, is this from the YouTube comments? Oh, wow. Beth says yes. Why does Uncle Si look different? Is that the end? I know he doesn't have to wear glasses and that's really good, but it's like he's had cheek and plants.

Does he have work? He has. Did you not tell her by that? You and Joe Biden got your plastic surgery work at the same time. Yeah, I had cheek implants. Oh, wow. That's not where I thought that would go. Okay.

Would you get the discount? Oh, that's a good one. Did that person say, ask this wild size with Willie and then ask about his cheeks? Yeah. What does it matter that I'm here? What is that? I'm assuming that they thought you'd have the most. humor for the...

Oh, that I would make fun of you. Yeah. Okay. People really enjoy it when you make it. Yeah. Yeah. I suspect it was further. Like, I didn't pay for that.

Like, whatever that was. You paid for his fence. Paid for his fence. Which he could have gotten two new eyeballs for what he paid for that thing. Yeah. I assumed it was for the... Oh, boy.

That number right there on your office. But that's what it is. I look different. Right. Anyway, Caleb from Birmingham, Alabama. I won't say the next two words he said. Him and his buddy cooked up some large-mouthed bass the other day, and it left a weird taste in my mouth.

My question is, not laughing at you, Caleb, I promise. No, we're laughing at Birmingham, Alabama. It's one of the most humorous cities. What's the best way to cook up a bass? Mm. Well, not the way you did. Yeah.

Yeah, let's scratch. Let's see if we can guess, though, what, what's the name, Caleb? Let's see if we can guess what happened. Oh, I see. I think I know what happened. Oh, I know the main. I think he caught a four-pounder and knocked the sides off of it, which you should never do. Well, he said a big bath.

And it tasted like mud. Well, no, no, he said a big bass. He said a funny taste. He didn't say. Funny taste. He said. So I'm going with too big of a bass fried in old grease. That's it.

Large mouth. That's it. No. Always, if you're going to eat bass, I think he washed his hands. I think there's Don dishwashing liquid on the meat. Uh-oh. Wow.

Uh-oh. That's deep. He has these days. He's like, hey, we've got to cleanse thing up, mate. And then he got it on the deal. Didn't rinse them all. Soap. Soap.

That's soap. Eating soap. That's a funny taste is when you get soap. Yeah, soap never tasted well. Neither has a four-pound bass. I'm telling you. I was going with Martin. It's a big bass you don't want to cook him.

Okay. he's fun to catch but then when they catch and release throw that. It's like a bag and get a car. Or either mounting. Well, that basket's over about 15, 16 inches. Yeah.

He just ain't much. And look, he ain't much even then. But you got to see him a little bit. There's some techniques. Yeah, I mean, you can make him edible.

He said it tasted funny. Funny, yeah. I think, speaking of, though, you have a fantastic. It was not prepared, right?

In other words. Something happened, I guarantee you. Yeah, yeah. You got soap on it. Yeah, it was not prepared. Poor, poor meat preparation is what Willie's called.

Poor meat prep. But cooking, especially, you know, fish you catch or wild game, you have to learn, and it's going to take more than one time. Remember when you walked in your house and John Luke had caught him? Oh, he fried a fish with the guts in it? Yeah. He did who? He scaled a fish, then he fried it.

The guts were still in it. Yeah, was it whole. Whole fried guts. That fish was still. No. Although, I just found, like, I was just talking to another dude. He didn't cord me. Oh, no, no, no.

Hey, look. I talked to another guy, though. He said that they eat the guts, and he was in Africa. It was actually in South Dakota. And he said they were guiding, and the first thing they do, and they kill like an impollin, they ate the guts. Well, if I was in Africa, maybe. Yeah, I mean. No, no.

I had a lot of people that I've known. Okay. I'm a pass more groceries. They freeze them, and they don't clean them. They freeze them whole with the guts and everything in them. Hold on. And then it unfore them. and then clean them and cook.

Did you say a lot of people you know? Yeah. All the people that graduated with a master's degree who are flipping a hamburgers. Well, I'm just saying. They're also freezing full fish. They freeze game with their guts in it. No.

That's poor meat preparation. We probably need to figure out who all it is that you know. Jimmy Ray. Like all six of them. Like pull those people together because he keeps saying, Everybody I know. Well, it's all them with your soccer games.

I feel like that. I've met people besides us he talked to. I've met people that they froze fish with the guts in them. Who are these people? I did take some fish to a friend of mine in town, and I thought he'd love me. So next time can you bring them with the, leave the heads on? Because that's the way we wanted to cook them with the heads, with the soup.

Oh, a suit. Yeah, cut the heads off. This head suit. Leave him heads on. See, I would take that guy fish all the time. I get mad at the ones that say, Well, they open an ice chest when you drop them off fish, they said, they ain't clean. I'm like, no, you're off the list.

Let me take them back. Take them back. All right. Anyway, Abby. Abby. Abby. From Greenwood, Indiana. Greenwood, Indiana.

I think that's somewhere we probably went together, really. I think y'all did. We spent a month there one weekend. Seems like a place y'all spoke and ordered Dominoes. Good dude. That's more than one place that ends in Indiana. Huge fan, Duck Commander, all the Duck Commander things. Listen to all the episodes of this podcast.

which is crazy. I was wondering what, what do dad, she's 14. Okay. What do dads want for Christmas from their kids? She doesn't have a job yet.

She's got a little money from chores. How long did the suppressors take six months? So we got six months. You'll sell some Girl Scout cookies. You can pay as you go. I've already heard of it. He's got a deal for you.

Pay as you go. Actually, I mean, let me, oddly, what your dad would want, is to tell him that all you want is something inexpensive. Because then like you're getting the credit, but then he's not having to spend as much,

so it all comes out and everybody's happy. So just ask for one gift from dad, and it doesn't have to be anything expensive. That's what a dad would want for Christmas for him. Does that make sense? Yeah. As a very frugal individual, yes, that's perfect. I'm just, yeah, I mean.

But frugal and will. Willie Robertson don't really go together. Not anymore. It used to. Okay. I didn't really know that, Willie. I grew up, Frug. I'm back to Frug again myself.

What are you talking about? Oh, yeah, you didn't drive all over this country with him. Y'all flew. Nope. Y'all treated airplanes like suburban. We treated a suburban like a suburban. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Except for that time we got that seafood tower. Bring it in. I'd say make him something. I don't know. A duck commander. Something would be. Oh, cut down.

Commander, what else we sell them? Yeah, cut down 2.0. We got a customer over here. He's 14 with no money. What do we got? What do we got? We got your Uncle Siqa cup. That was the worst advice ever.

What did you want? I mean, what do you want? I mean, my kids just turned one. With Army and I don't mean, I don't know. You know what I want from them at one to go stay at Grandma's house. Like, that's, let me here. Like, I don't know. kind of get. I don't have any, you're, you're the one with kids closest to that age out of all of us.

To 14? Yeah. Oh, wow. I might actually be. No, you are. That is weird. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. So you answer that guy. You answer it big cause. It's our advice, sucks. You answer. You should ask you dad. I mean, nothing about you being frugal either. I don't want to hear from you, you sucker. Mr. Rollette. Oh, here we go. Anyway, you should ask your dad. Bade. Add it on to my house. Don't tell me about spending on the house. I've never added on the house. This old boy You can spend some cash now

You can't even hide it You make him more offended than anybody else on the planet I find great humor in it It makes me sense My blessing and my curse I guarantee Let's hear My advice for her

Yeah Will be to tell your dad you want Whatever he's into Go do it with him There you go I want to go hunting with him Or fishing or whatever he's golfing Whatever he's into

Go do that Man you saw that on Instagram somewhere That's solid. Yeah, probably. I can appreciate it. You want to send us out of here? Who got to buy? Will, you got a gift?

That's not really a gift. Like, that's not a gift. It's the gift of time, man. That's not actually, there's not actually a wrapping or like a gift. He ain't got a, he ain't got one, go ahead. He just said, I'll spend time with me. I mean, that's, that's not a gift. That's life.

Like, that's not a gift. Like, spend time with you for Christmas. No, it's a gift. Like, there's an experience. She's a 14-year-old girl. She probably doesn't go a hundred. There's a day. It's like a thing and there's a gift.

What's going to wrap up the invisible package of time I spent with you? In the comments. How about? Who's gift is better? Talk about it. George's got a 15-year-old son. What do you want from Rip? Sorry, we have a live studio audience today, people.

George, do you want less gifts to give him or do you want him to say, dad, I'd love to go turkey hunting with you? Read the original question. Now you've already funked it all up. Like read the original. What did the man? What did Abby say? What is something personal a 14-year-old could give their dad for not too much money? Any advice would help.

For Christmas? For Christmas. For Christmas. He was trying to save the girl money. Me or Willie, pick one. Just time to talk. That's not a gift. He said time.

He said time. Jordan's the cheapest guy. No, he doesn't, like, he's not going to get his own kids' gifts. So like. He's giving him like Willie Robertson Touch this shirt You know Give us a Bible verse for these cheap suckers

Okay Gives him like the hats And I'll leave in his truck Give us a Bible verse boys I can't even talk You got this guy Hold on I have a Bible verse Just

All right Psalm 9012 So teach us to number our days That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Sounds like we need to spend time with each other. Bye. We'll see y'all next. We'll see you all next. We'll love.
