Hey everybody. We're back in the duck call room and we have a special guest today. You know, I used to run around with Willie a long time, but now we have a person who's known him probably the longest. And you may be thinking that's Corey, but she slept in and didn't show up. So Jordan Summit has joined us. Hey Jordan. I'm just slightly less good looking than Corey and shorter. It depends on who you ask. Okay. Well, you're definitely shorter. That point is not up for debate, but... We are back.

All we're running? The clock ain't moving. Sa, you got to ignore the clock. You just got to go back. Well, hey, look, I figured the clock that'll be running, boys. No, it's fine. Ladies and gentlemen, we do have a clock that you can't see. We've got a real case of the Mondays on a Thursday.

It's fine. It's cool. And this is going to air on a Tuesday. It's on Thursday? It is Thursday. It's blown by. I lost a couple of days this week. Sleeping?

Well, no. just said they went somewhere. Because I didn't think it was Thursday. What did you think it was? How time flies when you're having fun. There you go. There you go. Look, he, for those of you that don't know,

and you wouldn't. Well, you wouldn't know this. You wouldn't get John David's reference if you weren't on the production schedule for the Duck Call Room podcast. His slight at Corey was because she was supposed to be here 30 minutes ago. I made no slight, sir.

Huh? you did what do we need to rewind anyway Corey wasn't here okay she's very busy she's your cousin she's family you can get away with a lot more than the rest of us can maybe and I mean you made a reference to if somebody you had to invite somebody somewhere to be on time and you got a million dollars if they were late or you died if they were on time you said the first person you invite was Corey

100% you said that all fair I just said it on air to put it on the record you gotta be on a record so You know, but anyway, so we adapt and we overcome. We do have lots of employees here. So Jordan is somebody that needs to be on here because Jordan is the keeper of a lot of secrets. He's the keeper of secrets. Uh-oh. See, look at him.

He's got the keys to the closet, boys, where the skeletons are at. It's not a closet, but it's a hard drive. Well, I'm telling you, hey, he's the keeper of the keys. I thought y'all were just having me in because I happened to walk by. That was a lot of it. Well, that's part of it. That was at least 50% of it. I said, I'm inviting the next person that walks by that door in.

And it just so happens, you were it. We needed a warm body to sit in this chair. Welcome to the duck call room. How we do things. We really just wing it. I don't know why, but my hands are really sweaty. Jordan, don't be nervous. That's fine.

Everything's good. Jordan's worked here longer than you, right? Jordan, how long have you worked here? Uh, going on 17 years? How many times have you been fired? Hmm. Well, two for sure. Two for sure.

There might have been a third, but we're not going to talk about that one. I got out at two of them. And I'm not going to say anything bad about Corey because she got me out of the other two firing. So Corey's great. See, there you go. She kept me from getting fired. And she gives you your big break on the podcast. That's right.

I'm finally in front of the camera. This is it. Yeah, Jordan has spent his whole career, not whole career, but a lot of your career behind the lens, not in front of the lens. So you've followed us around. You've done so many unspeakable things and mainly listen to us on several mics. And I don't know how you've kept it together as well as you have. Oh, well, you know. God is good, Martin.

I mean, I have faith. I just, I love it. I have fun. You guys are entertaining. That's why I do it. That's good. Hey, we love having you around, Jordan. He's a cataloger.

That means he can put stuff away, you know, and don't bring it out. Don't bring it out. That's right, unless it's needed. Don't make the cameraman mad. That's right, hey, that's the stick to this. Okay. Don't make the camera. Don't irritate the camera.

I agree. Okay. Sorry, Hunter. I'm not worried about that guy. He's a fine figure of a man He's only been here like a year He ain't got many secrets Oh he's been here too

He's holding up too We ain't even do it Have we been doing this two years? Almost In like November It'll be two years Of the duck call room Wow

This is like episode A hundred and six Hunter Hundred hundred 166 of these bad boys Y'all ain't tired of us yet Probably shouldn't ask that That's the comment section on YouTube

I figured out something right here What? This is duck commander's happy place. What does that mean? Just what I said. This is the happy place. Well, that happened wrong.

This room, I'm serious. I hear a lot of laughing when I'm getting in a hallway. A lot of laughing. This room has always contained laughter. That's true. That is a true statement. Unless you're here after five working in this room, then there was not much life. Then there was much.

No, no. There was a lot of frustration. I never was in that, five than that. No, no, about three was all you had in you. Oh, overtime for sigh. Three was all like a hell, boys. Oh, my goodness gracious. Jordan, so let's just put you on the spot.

Who's your favorite Robertson? Ooh. You're looking at one. Hey, tell the truth. Tell the truth, I don't care. That's an easy. I'm going to go sigh. Oh, good grief.

Yes. Mine too. That's everybody's those. So you have to... Actually, I'm going to go K. Then I'm going to go sigh. Oh. Hey.

That's a smart man. That's a good call. It's a good call. Cave and Cy. Who's getting bronze? Bronze is the interesting one. You know what's funny is I really miss Jeff. Really?

Yeah, I miss having Jeff here. You missed Jeff? Maybe because we were just like, you know, in the trenches together. Yeah, and his work ethic really inspired you. Well, I mean, I don't know about that. I mean, we're guns blazing today, folks. Guns blazing. I'm sorry.

It's just, it's the end of the day. Would you get like this, man? It's been a long week. Boy, they're tired. It's fun. I'm not tired. It's all in good fun. No, it's good.

Now, Jordan and Jep did share an office together for a really long time. So you know Jep probably better than any other employee here for sure, even his brother. Oh, yeah. There's no doubt about that. I live across the pond from Jep. I don't see him often, but he was fishing the other day for like seven hole minutes. Really? He didn't catch anything.

I watched. I do. Nothing. Did you tell him, stop by the honey hole? No, because I've never caught anything. of that pile. I need not a fish in either. Whoa.

Just in that one specific place. Sorry. Very finicky fish. Very finicky. Oh, man. So you've been here. How old are you? Jordan, we're the same age.

Aren't we like 37? I quit counting at 30. I think you're you 37? When did you turn 37? No, I will be in like a week or something. I'm 37. Yeah. I'm just a little older than him, but not by like a full year.

Did you legitimately just have to like think of that? Yes. I constantly ask my wife how old I am. That's because she's older. Jordan married an older woman. Jordan just, man's got game. I hate to say this about bullfuggy.

Oh, boy. Duck commander has not been kind to either one of you. Have you looked in the mirror? Oh. Careful, Jordan. Our fans do not like it when you throw it back at Sy. I love, I love, he's awesome. You just have to take it from side.

One thing you got out of here if you work for the Duck Commander Bunch, You got to have tough skin guys Oh, Jordan's has made a leather I've seen what that boy's been through Yeah He's been fired twice for crying How many times have you been fired from Duck Commander Well

They tried to fire me all the time Okay But you just kept hanging around Yeah, I just, yeah I'm like a bad penny I just keep showing up, boy That's the way I was with the military The military didn't know what to do with me You got fired from the military?

Oh, they tried to do. to numerous times. And you'd just show back up the next day? And I'd just come back to work. Did we fire him? Yeah, that works. That works. Size's motto, just keep showing up.

No, no. Yeah. It worked. Hey, these days, that's a plus. Oh, I had a whole conversation. If you got employees that shows up. Keep him. Hey, keep him.

Forget about it if he works or not. If he shows up every day, you got a chew, boys. I had a whole conversation with a kid the other day. I was like, I want you. be successful in life and all you got to do is show up man you can't even do that yeah can't even show up there you go that's pretty bad ain't it yeah it's like being really late to a podcast or something can't even show up oh hey tough skin boys and no i'm kidding look let's take our first break we'll be back right after we love them 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 tritels beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall 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 tritails beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedails 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 ribbyes on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I'll 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 Triedails beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat easier, folks.

Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash. Duck. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Well, we can't. Nobody knows who he is. But did y'all know Walter got engaged?

No. What? To a woman? We got to get Walter on the podcast. But I want to be here when he did talk on. Yeah. Be in the studio audience. This must be a new employee.

Former employee. Oh, former? You remember Walter? No. Can't say that. Young kid, kind of big, blonde hair. Very strong. He didn't talk much at all.

Yeah, he filmed he duck up in a few times. Oh, real quiet. You'd know him if you saw it. He would tell you his name is Matthew, but it's really Walter. Yeah. So that is what Jordan does. to any new employee Jordan looks at him, says the first name that comes in his head,

and it is stuck on a lot of people for a long time. Why do you do that to people? Did Phil teach you that? Oh, of course. Look, I'm stuck. They still call me Frodo. That was the first thing when I walked in, and I said, Frodo Baggins.

I was like, what is that? I mean, and it is stuck to this day. I literally saw Phil like two weeks ago, came in, and he said that line right there. He said, Frodo. that commander in time has not been good to you I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one they see a couple of 37 year olds with gray hair

and they're like that's the thing that I was noticing what I'm supposed to have gray hair in my beard and you have had it yeah for a while well hey but you boys young and y'all got gray hair in your business and your nephew's color theirs so it's fine whoa oh oh the secret is out I've never colored anything.

It can't be a secret. One episode, it was really light. The next one was really dark. It doesn't, like, that doesn't just happen. Willie's hair is blonde right now, if we all remember. He actually looks better. That is false. No, that is false.

Hey. It fits his personality now. Because he looks weird? No, blonde. Because he's... D. D goes with blonde. D.

D. He's... He's... Ha, ha. We're just blasting them out, boys. All right, who we want to make one of next. Anytime I got to get a shot at Willie, I'm going to take it, guys. We'll take it.

You got to do that. Fire away. Fire away. So, Jordan, we need a story because this is an hour-long podcast of a good, do you have a good Phil story or a good Willie story? I know you got something. So when I first came to work here, you know, I'm in the video world, right? And so when I first came to work here, Willie put me down at Phil's, and it was like middle of the summer.

And my job for about the first two weeks, Phil had just cleared out this big duck hole, and then he had burned it. And my job was to pick up sticks for two weeks. Two weeks. Over at the burn. I remember them days. Golly. Come on. Come on go with me.

It won't take about 15 minutes. That's right. For two weeks, I picked up sticks. Burnt sticks, and I'm just putting them in a pile. all day all day and you came here to film I came here to film

a videographer I was so excited that I got upgraded to the warehouse where I got to use the tape gun working with Godwin working with Godwin

and Jeb's in there watching TV just sit there packaging duck calls Gobwin's out there on the tape gun Jase is in there doing his

duck call building so I was sleeping I got the whole experience before How you get, how you do what you do best. Yeah, the early 2000s of Duck Commander. It was amazing. So, yeah, you started here at 20.

That's incredible. Yeah, because you sent Willie just in emails like, hey, I want to work here, right? Yeah, I sent him an email from my college address, and he happened to get it. And he says to this day, the only reason he answered it was because of my email address being at harding. dot edu that happened to be the same college will he went to and so he says that's what got he said i only answered your email because of the email address so and then so he's like ah we went to college the same place for a couple days that's right and he hired you to pick up sticks picking up sticks hey you got to put your time in that just proves that that is true yeah

that proves the point that god does move in mysterious ways i'm serious and willie moves in even strange your ways. That's pretty cool that I, you're, you get, yeah. And then he said, okay, yeah, I've done it. Kind of like I did. I just made myself an email here and then I was hired. So I pretty much. That's awesome.

So you just, you hang around. Like, to size point, you just show back up. Yeah. Just show up again. All of a sudden you end up on payroll. 90% of the battle. I mean, you got to, you got to not cash you check for a few days, but, you know, still end up on payroll.

Yeah, it's going to be like seven people. People show up next week. Well, at least normally they would tell you. They better not hang around too long. Yeah. They will get put to work. They normally tell you how you need to hold this for a couple of days before you take it to the bank.

Mm-hmm. You miss those days? No, I do not miss. I do enjoy the fact that on Thursday nights, I wake up Friday morning, and I have a payment to my checking account. Didn't you go a long time without being paid at all? I went like three months with no pay. But that was me.

I volunteered my services. What? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I was working through school. Everything's fine. I had plenty of money. Duck Commander was weird before I got here.

Martin was up there. I'm in there editing, and Martin's in there just picking up the phone and cold calling people. You want Duck Commander duck calls. Walmart. I mean, just. Walmart, baby. Making sales, baby. That's awesome.

Sales, baby sales. Doing my thing. And yeah, no, I worked for like three months with no paycheck. And then I finally got one. And then I was asked to hold it until like Tuesday, until the other check from Bass pro cleared the bank so we can make payroll. Yeah. Case y'all want to know what this place were really like.

If y'all want to see behind the duck, if you want to know that, you know, what we really started working here for is because we loved it. It wouldn't, it didn't have nothing to do with the pay or. The food was great. Yeah. I will say that.

Well, I got upgraded from the food because I started at the Brownlee House, not down at filling caves. Then I got moved to filling caves. Yeah, because then I got to upgrade. Oh, yeah. Duck Commander used to be run out of two houses. Yeah, we had Duck Commander North and Duck Commander South, is what we called it. Phel and Kay's in my phone is still D.C. South.

Is it really? Yep. Yeah. That's fine. 100%. I miss the lunches. That's what I really miss. Oh, buddy.

When you'd have Miss Kay just come in there and feed everybody. Ain't that. One person you didn't want to get behind, though. Who? John Godwin. God. Love him to death. That's how he got them in the line.

That's how Godwin added at Duck Commander 75. It was called Duck Commander Fitty. He was overachiev. It was a upgrade. It's a true thing. Yeah. Yeah. When you started working down there, it was because you were a captive audience.

Yeah. It was too far to come back town to get something to eat. So you ate whatever Kay had, and it was made with love and butter. Yep. And always really good. But it was definitely made with love and butter. Kee was trying to fatten me up for 40 years. But I slept it off.

She's getting there. That's right. Hey, after a big meal, you've got to take a nap, boys. I miss the days of, like, going down to land and side being on a motor grader, like fixing the road. Well, no, no, I kept the roads up. Yeah. And now, you can lose a four-wheeler down there. That's not a hole.

You got to get stoned on that. No, no, I'm serious. You can lose a four-wheeler in the holes in the road. So I was a great road, man. Oh, I took care of the road. Yeah. Phil showed up one time, and I had tobacco, and. from the gate for about 200 yards.

I had just a big mound of dirt in the middle of the road. I hadn't had time to grade it out yet. And he comes up there and the guy that used to own it, the ending, hit the roof. And Phil come up and said, what are you doing? I said, hey, I'm sick of these ruts in this road. I'm fixed to build it up and make it, you know, have a mound in the center where to run off in the ditches.

he said we don't own this I said well they'll never know the difference once I get it all graded down son wait you worked on other people's properties oh no and he said hey put it all back in the ditch I said are you serious he said yeah I'm serious put it all back to the ditch

well I did but I left a little bit for a mound so the roads were mounted up through there yeah he had him a little crown he had him a little crown on the road no that that place went to pot when Saik was working on the equipment Yeah.

Because Phil, every time it'd break down, Phil's the, cow, you tear up everything you get on. I said, I know, and I'm the only one

that gets on it and uses it. That's the reason that's breaking down with me. Phil's idea of fixing a mud hole is just go wider. Yeah, just take another route around.

Around it. That's why there's a lot of wide areas down there in the woods, okay? Yeah. What happened there? A hole? Don't go to that direction anymore.

You'll lose a forest. vehicle. Yeah, Phil's method of fixing a pothole was just keep going wider, boys. Just spread it on out. Just go wide. Got all the equipment he could ever want to fix them. Nope. Ain't got time for that.

You know, what's funny, too, is when I first came to work here, which it still holds true to this day, Phil would always accuse camera guys as just being weird. Very just, you know, the whole thing he does and weirdos. And one of those days when I was burning sticks, I was coming back. My wife Angela, she was working with Ms. Kay. And so we were coming back to our house that day. We were driving down Lee Anding, and I see something crossed the road, a black figure crossed the road. You saw it, too?

Hold on. No, no, leave Telton. Can I finish? Can I finish. I finish. Sorry. So I see this black figure cross the road. and this is before the iPhone

okay no phones we got Motorola razors you ain't flipping that open and getting a good video and so we pull up there and it stands up and it's looking at us and I was like man that's a big dog and we get up a little closer my wife says that's not a dog that's a bear

and I immediately called Phil do you remember this? Okay well called Phil and his first thing was well where was your camera and I said why I didn't have a camera. He said, well, Frodo, I've never seen a bear out here, ever.

And it was like a week later, I think y'all saw a big track out on the land. But I got made fun of it for like a week because I had no idea about the panther thing. And they were like, oh, yeah, every camera guy that comes through here is talking about the black panther. Now they've seen it. And size got this black panther he's been seeing. It's there. I'm surprised that I've never heard this. Oh, you've heard it.

You've heard it. You just don't remember. I don't remember I was hearing about a bear That's a back when you was busy You didn't have all that time to file any memory like you do now Now you got a stoned cold memory which is incredible But Anything

I'll tell you They never did tell me this That he saw a bear? Yeah They never did tell me that Gordon You know Gordon old seen a bear Frodo

Because when he said hey He stood up I was saying Uh oh Oh boy Some of the big dog And I was saying no Dogs don't stand up. Not unless you got a treat.

Yeah, unless you're just one that tree and a squirrel. Yeah. Oh, man. They all had one of them, a lavador and saver, golden. So I had Jordan. Wooden bark. Wooden bark. I had Jordan to the list of the employees that has seen a large black figure in the woods.

But it was a bear. It was a ban. There you go. He has a reasonable explanation for what he saw. There you go. All right. We'll take another break. We'll be back right after you.

Jordan, you know Si is famous for Black Panther. Thank you. And there is research being done right now in Michigan. I have many emails to prove it. You do, but you make sure that you take the time to read the statement from the DNR about what it really is. But that's neither here nor there. So you've been down on Fieldsland a lot. Yep. With a camera in your hand.

Yep. Have you ever videotied a large black cat of any kind? I videoed a very dark bobcat one time at about 100 yards filming Willie Deerhunt. Okay. zip. I've seen... It looked like a bobcat that had been rolling in the mud. I've seen something, and I saw it

three different times. Thank you. And I never identified it. First time I seen it was on the road to go into the dump. High noon. Okay. And when I seen it, I just gunned at four-wheeler, and I come up there where a field had dug dirt to put it in the road,

or red at, you know, it's full of water now. It was ripples on the water. It was going around. And I said, well, it was probably a male saw a big, giant river out there. But I don't think so. But I see it three different times, never identified it. What do you believe it was, sir? I have no idea.

At first, I said, well, it was the turkey fanning out his feathers during the rut. Nope, that wasn't worked. Then it was something else I have thought it was. Oh, yeah, thought it was a cub bear, a young bear, black bear. Mm-hmm. Well, Jordan saw one of them. Now, hey, it may have been a bear. It could have been a bear because it was just a big black blob as how I described it.

All right, so are you ready for the news out of Michigan, though? Yeah, give us the news out of Michigan. Boom, on the screen. They have spotted a large black feline, and the authorities are involved. So this one's a new photo. It's not the same photo that everybody sends from different places. Give it a year. There's something uncanny.

That looks just. Just like what I saw in the middle of the road. Thank you. On Fields property. It looks like a house cap. What? No, no, that ain't a house cat. It's squatty.

No, no, no. That ain't a house cat. Jordan, do you want to be invited back? That's not a house cat. Trust me. That is a big black cat. It's a cat. I would say probably weighs all 60, 60 pounds.

Oh, it's bigger than that. No, that's 60, 65. How much the sweet peeway? he weighed up to 40 one time at one time about 45 because we couldn't get him in I had to push him just push his belly inside to get him in his battery to take him to the vet

upstairs I literally had to just squeeze his body in and then push him in it and he couldn't even move so Hugh from Michigan sent that to me And also about eight people on Instagram and four other emails. No, no.

Did you click the article? Yeah, I read it. You did? Yeah. What the DNR say? That is a big black cat. And they're investigating it. But whoever you are, DNR, if you're listening, size just confirmed for you is a Black Panther.

Even though they said it's a large domestic feline? Well, no, they said it. It ain't no domestic cat. And domestic, Joe Exotic had large domestic striped felines. How? That thing was, hey, that thing was sleek. Okay. If they showed him moving, he would be just fluid with his movement.

Would he sound like a woman screaming? And he can. Being tortured. Brian said it. I'll tell you what I have. Shout up Brian. Have you ever heard it like the red, I think it's a red wolf is what they used to have here. What's, what's?

Yeah, red wolves. Red wolves. Those aren't common to see, though, anymore, right? No, I think they pretty well extinct too. I saw one of them. Extinct, too. So you're saying there used to be. It's funny, it's funny you say that because Stone used to have a picture of it, okay?

It was a big giant, well, God, can't, one plank. Cahoe? Yeah. Okay. And he was red. Yep. Mail. Yep.

Beautiful thing. Yeah, I don't know what the back. They told me when they called me. Red wolves. Stone told me, he said, hey, guess what we just killed a big wolf. That's what he told me over the phone. And I said, come by. I said, get out of here.

He said, I'll show you to the season when we go deer hunting. They had him in the couto. They hung him up. Really? Yeah. And he was red. And most coyotes are skinny. You know, skinny.

This one had been living well. He was, you know, he was fat and fooled out good. He looked like a wolf. I'm serious. Big time. What I saw was a wolf in my yard. Here? Red wolf.

When he lived here? He was red color. Yes. Oh, okay. Yeah. I didn't know if it was here or caught. No, but it was at least 80 to 100 pounds. Okay.

I had a big dog at the time and it was bigger. But it was a big, I would call it a Red Wolf. Everybody I've talked to is like, yeah, you didn't see a Red Wolf. That was something else. There's only 19 to 21 of this one. But I think you might have. That's what I always love about my family. When we go hunting and we're in a blind, duck blind or any deer hunting all that,

I love somebody telling me that, oh, that ain't what you saw with your eyes. Oh, oh, no, that ain't what you shot with that 20 gay. You didn't kill that duck. Hey, I got a little newsflash for you, idiot. These are my eyes and this is my trigger that I just killed that duck with with my gun. If anybody would know, it would be you. Yeah, thank you. I mean, look how thick and glasses are.

Hey. He ain't going to miss see something. Hey, that's it. I got, I'm, hey, I'm corrected 2020 better than 2020. That's what I'm talking about. I ain't got 20-20. That's like 20-40 or something. I'm better than 2020.

That's what's up. Eagle eyes. That's good. That is good. I wish I did have the eyes of an eagle. What would you do with them? I would enjoy life more. What would you look at?

Everything I could. I'd tell you what, them rats he was shooting other day. wouldn't be safe. Hey, they ain't safe now. I kill three of them things with a pistol. How many did you have? How many did you end up having? Oh, no, we didn't kill but 10.

He went on the other day. Regulation. Right. No, no. Oh, yeah. The first time, Philip killed about 25. And I guarantee, look, we saw 100. There was 50 in the tree.

Oh, yeah. There was 50 in the tree. They climbed, hey, look, these rats climbed a tree worse than a squirrel. And they make a good gumbo I was shocked I was shocked that they climbed the tree like they did because the first thing happened

the first one slipped me you know because what he's done he's got a chicken coop you know for his chicken well there's all kind of holes around the chicken coop well first thing I done he's run the garden holes out there

run it down in the hole turn the water full pressure so we sit there for a vote I've waited about five minutes I had 22 in my hand loaded with redshot nothing happened and one ran out of a hole and went back in too quick.

And I said, hey, Philip, here, I'm on some tea. You shoot them. Well, just as soon as I ended a gun, here they come, buddy, and mass. You know, there was 10 going up the tree. There's four or five running along the roof of this thing. Phillips just pow, pow, pow, yeah. He actually killed 25 of them. Godly.

And look, I'm telling you, there was 50 left in the tree. Y'all have a rat problem out there at your chicken coop? Oh, no, we don't. Jordan raises chickens. Chickens, turkeys. Jordan, are you interested in the woods? Yeah, kind of. And no rats have showed up yet?

No. Do you feed your chickens? Yeah. Oh, you got rats. No, no, no. Hey, you need to look around your chicken coop. The turkeys keep them away. The turkeys will keep them away.

No, turkeys ain't going to keep them away. Rats are coming. You ain't ever met his turkeys. Them turkeys mean. Are they? Oh Spurs about like that Mean

You need to go out there And pet one of them Oh no It'd be some dead turkeys Jordan Are you interested In making a YouTube video Of sire and a rat hunt

No no you gotta do that You were supposed to do it the other day I know I was actually supposed to be on that hunt It didn't work out And then what's funny was Philip It was like hey I'll film it with my phone And then I asked him Just hey how did it go

And his reply Was really fun no good video. Yeah. But now I'm hearing he killed 25, or Philip killed 25 of him. Oh, no. Hey, I'm telling you,

Philip killed. You're going to video nothing. Hey, Philip killed, you know, he ain't no duck on a nut, but hey, don't mess with rats. That sucker is a rat killer

from way back now. He's a better rat killer than a camera man, apparently. Oh, Rat Commander, boy. You got, it's rat shot.

It's like a small, you know, shotgun. He said, that boy is a hot killer. But, hey, he's a rat killer from way back. Way back.

Because, hey, I'm a witness to this. He killed 25 that first day. Got ice in his mouth. He shot at, oh, he shot at 50. Okay, he killed 50%. That ain't bad. I've never heard somebody be called a rat killer way back. That belongs in a T-shirt.

Way back. Put that on a shirt. They're going to have to start calling that boy Hawk or something. He's that big of a rat killer. He's definitely bad to the bone on rats. Oh, Lord. Well, let's take another break. We'll be back right after you.

Hey, we can talk about that time. You miss that buck about seven times. Oh, six. In perpetuity. He's six. Hold on. Jordan. It don't hold but six.

And I ran it dry. Hold on. We were in a break. We were in a break. Jordan, were you the cameraman? Yeah. He wasn't with me. No, I was with you.

I filmed you. Oh, no, not on that. On the buck? Not on that. Oh, you're talking about the one over Texas. Yeah. Oh, that wasn't my five shots. I actually killed him, though.

All right, sir. I didn't kill the big one on Fields property. Sir, I think we're going to need Jordan's side of the story. Oh, no, no, look. We needed Miss Christine's story. That was a deer from Japan. I wasn't in Japan, but apparently he missed another buck in Japan. Oh, no.

He came from Japan because that deer committed Harry Carey. I didn't kill him. I'm telling you. The deer committed Harry Carey. Okay. Jordan. All right. So, Jordan, you filmed all of us, to some extent, but you're, the one we were talking about, and we've talked about it here,

Si missed a buck deer several times in Texas. You were filming that. How do you recollect that going down? We've heard Cy's version. Let me just, let me start it off for it. I didn't ask you. I know, but let me start it off for you. I shot the first time and missed the deer, and I was so disgusted, I just unloaded the rifle.

and said, hey, come on, take me back to the lot. That Jordan's face says no. Yeah, that does. That was after about number three or four. No, that was the first time. First time I missed him. Right, let him live. No.

Then it just got worse. You shoot the first time, and he kind of walks off, and then he does come back. You shoot again. Yep. He just stands there looking. You shoot again. He starts to walk off.

Then you tried to get out of the blind, and we had like an hour left at daylight. I was like, hey, let's just sit down. Like, what else we got to do? I said, hey, let him live. The other part of Jordan's job is professional therapist and coach in a deer blind because people get sad and want to quit. Yeah, Jordan's got to talk them through it.

Yeah, you got to talk them off the ledge. I mean, so I had the yips. Yeah. Oh, bad, bad. But what I will say about him is that he knew he did. He just kept talking to him and said, oh, my gosh, I can't shoot worth of. Dang it. I mean, just kept on the guy.

Well, I had due, okay, because the guy had asked me, you're sure you're reprimed and I said, no. I said, it's true then. Don't worry about it. Yeah. Well, I missed this deer like five different times. Yeah. And I'm about, okay.

But you had it sided in. I got to, yeah, I got to call my son because he borrowed it. And come and find out, yeah, he borrowed it. And when he was getting out of the deer stand, oh, oh, I forgot to tell you. I dropped your rifle. Mm. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Because I treated it in and I could put three in a dime at 100 yards. Yeah. So no. Yeah, that definitely wasn't the case that day. No. Oh, no. That's why I said his. How far was this dear?

Oh. Anywhere between 75 and 200. Like, I'm just saying between all six shots. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Somewhere in that area. In that area. 75 to 1205.

And most rifles are zeroed at 200. Correct. So shouldn't have been a problem. Oh, no. Well, it got to a point where I was just watching where the bullet was going every time. And I was like, no, put it on his foot. And then maybe you'll hit him. Oh, no, no, because that's what I said.

I said, guys, y'all are looking. I said, where's the stupid round hitting the dirt? Behind the deer, high, low, whatever. And they would say, all I know is you're shooting over him. So the last time, that's why I said the deer was from Japan. So they told me, said, okay, I've shot that in four times and missed. So I said, okay, there he is again, the idiot, it's back out there. I said, it's okay.

I said, y'all say I'm shooting high. They said, yes, you're definitely shooting high. So I said, okay. Cross hairs, the horizontal crosshairs, below his belly, vertical crosshairs, right down his front leg, dead center middle. Under the belly, I could see, I could see. the cross has, and I ain't looking at deer. It ain't on deer meat.

It's below his belly, and I go, boom, he drops. So we walk up there, and I said, I'm about 50 yards away, and I said, Matt, I said, where did I hit that deer? And he said, well, if you go from the front shoulder up toward his face, halfway, dead center, the neck. And I said, I said, Matt, I said, where did y'all get that deer? I said, you bound to bought him from the Japanese.

And Matt said, what are you talking about Japanese? I said, because, hey, I didn't kill that deer. I said, that deer actually committed suicide doing Harry Carey. The only thing he didn't do is he didn't have a knife to kill himself. I said, he just, he run into the bullet because I didn't kill him. Welcome to the duck car room, George.

Wow, I've really been missing out. Uh-huh. Oh, my gosh. This is way more entertaining than that editing room. Jordan, can you, you could probably get our man Hunter over there, a little clip of this hunt, right? Oh, yeah. We can count the shot. Yeah, we can.

Oh, no, it's hilarious. Roll that beautiful. No, no, it is hilarious. Oh, Lord. I love hunting stories. Golly. Man, they're good. Well, let's take our last break.

We'll be back right after this. And then we're going to get in that mailbox. We're sitting in a stand, okay, and we've been watching bucks. There's six come out of the woods, just one behind the other big bucks, y'all. And Eddie said, you know, I got my rifle on, looking at all of them. And he said, well, hey, pick the one you want. He said, I looked at all of them and I said, well, I like this one right here better. He's got a better looking rat.

So I just don't pop to him, you know. Remember it hung in Willie's Duck Diner for forever. Oh, yeah. You know where that is now. That's him right there. Oh, that's him. There is. That's him right there.

Wait. That's him. That's the one you missed six times? No, that's the one I missed five. I killed him on the fifth shot. Killed him on the sixth shot. I did not know the whole time that this duck with that hat. And it was in the bulls down.

Like Martin said. That's a big year. Look at the mass on that joker, boys. There's a bull now. Just the dumb bull that lets you shoot seven times. Hey, on that one, it was six of us that hunted. And we all killed a huge buck. Yeah.

Yeah. You had your grandson. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Phillips kid. Phillip. Oh, yeah, that's when y'all went and killed the biggest. Oh, yeah. And Bryce killed the biggest.

Yeah. He scored 228. Drop time, double drop times. Biggins. Huge thing. Beautiful thing. I got me a good turkey hunting spot out of it, too. Oh, no.

Oh, that old boy's got a good ranch now. Johnny D. Yes. What's in that mail bag? Jordan, every week, we answer our fans' emails or just see what they have to say. Um, I got big news, though. This is my favorite part. Jake emailed in.

Jake from Wu. He didn't say where he's from. Oh, good grief. We got Little Debbie cereal. Oh, wow. Little Debbie cereal. They went to ice cream, and now they've gone to cereal, boys. I'm interested.

Martin, why, what's the face? I'm not a cereal guy. Oh. Oh, I never have been. I will slam a ball of cereal. Really? Little Debbie would make you. Little Debbie's taken over the world, and I feel like we're

partially responsible. It's like their lead unpaid spokespeople. Of them are good now. I mean, hey, oatmeal cream pies. And now they've met them cereal. And now they got it in a box and put milk on it? Yeah, I'm just not a cereal. I don't know. For breakfast, I'd rather have eggs. Like, I don't know. I love eggs. I'd eat a dozen.

All right, well, I just thought. Eggs. Over easy. I could eat a dozen of them. Yeah. Or I'll like boil like 15 or 20 of them. Oh, no, no. I'd do that. Eat two for breakfast. Oh, have you got the microwave thing? They had a little egg boiler. Yeah. A little contract.

Hey, that thing is cool. Yeah. You put a little water in, put four eggs in it, put it in the microwave for a knock on whatever time it is. Then before you take it out, you shake it. And hey, you don't have to peel it. When you shake it, you just take the shell off of it and put your egg over. Interesting. No, no, no, perfect.

Every time. You got one of those? Yeah. What's it called? Egg shake pot. Egg something. Egg pod or something. Egg pod or something.

Egg pod. Amazon. Yeah. Egg pod. Everything's on Amazon. And hey, excellent. Yeah. I'm serious.

Egg. It's eggs. Because I always take mine. I swapped over to the air fryer, though. Oh, no, I've got a little paper bowl. Put a little salt and pepper on the bottom of it. Throw two in there and roll them around, get them all pepper and salt. I bet that is one salt.

Yeah. Love them. Put a little lemon on top. Put a little dash of vinegar in there with them. Oh, no, no. Forget to forget. Oh, hey, now my wife does that when she makes, what, devil eggs. Vinegar?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, no. She makes them like three dozen. She made like pickled eggs. Oh, no, like three dozen. And I eat them all. Boy.

Three dozen, three dozen, what I called? That deviled eggs give you some gas. Oh, no, hey. Yeah, you don't want to be. I ate a lot of deviled eggs. My mom makes it. You don't want to be around when I eat a dozen of eggs. All right.

Next email. This one's not a question either, but, you know, if you put Johnny D. is right in the subject line, I'm going to read it. go. Trish from Caulfield, Missouri. After hearing Johnny D.

Talks so much about his bidet. I bought one and he's right. Life changing. I love it. Sorry.

Life changing. Thank you. Just further, I've been proven right again. I wonder when they're going to be there. My brother got one of those and he said the same thing.

Jordan, are you interested? No. What are they going to come up with? But night. I just, I can't. Instead of a bidet.

Can't do it. Everybody in here is against it, but I'm trying to change the world. Stone. Stone. Hey, JD, he got stone. wait oh yeah oh i knew that yeah you knew that i forgot for a second all right anyway all right

here's a real one oh that one was time out that one was real it's just here's one we can talk about and expand a little further austin's 24 loves the show listens every episode but he needs some advice he works for his dad and his cabinet shop and he really likes his job he's worked there for just over a year i told him i would take a pay cut to work for him for a couple months he had just opened, but he hadn't gotten a raise since he started, and it's tough right now. I can't live on what he's making. It's getting frustrating. He's been thinking about going to welding school for a few months so he can make some real money.

That is true. I know a few welders. They do well. I also don't want to leave my dad high and dry if I do leave. What is your thoughts? Should I stick it out and hope for a race, or do I go to school and in six months make over double what I make now? Advice, working with dad.

as a non-family member of a family business, I don't really, I can't really glean a lot. I would talk to your dad. I mean, if you like working with your dad, there's a value you put on that, figure out what that value is,

if it's more than money or whatever, like, you know, but if your dad said he was going to give you a raise, then ask him for one. Do you deserve one? Yeah. What is known?

It's manageable. It's manageable. That's a famous saying we have here in the duck call room, Jordan. It's not famous. But if you want to go to welding school, too. That's a great skill to have.

Absolutely. But so is building cabinets. There's a guy who's remodeling his house and just had to pay for cabinets. A lot of money in both of those fields. You're willing to work hard and do a good job. Ain't that the truth. You make money well in a cabinet shop. Ain't that the truth.

So if your dad has a cabinet shop, you might want to stick it out. Might want to stick it out. But I think you just need to talk to your dad and say, hey, look, this isn't working for me right now if we can bump myself. And your dad ain't going to, he's your dad. He ain't going to be like... Yeah. Have you had to ask this big day for a raise yet?

No, I'm not going to. I'm scared of it. Did you send this email? No. Oh, okay. That's like a true. My dad used to work in a cabinet shop. I actually just changed everything.

I'm tired of working with... No. Back to the welding class. You may want to do that. Anyway. Yeah. You'd have something to fall back on. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Because you're only 24. If you can weld and a good one, Pipeline, especially on pipeline, you'll always have to be going out of town, so to speak. But hey, you make big money on pipelines. But, yeah, I just think you've got to talk to your dad and see. And there's definitely benefits to working in a family business.

It's already established because you're the next in line. That's right. But if your thoughts were, there's a little confusing in there, if your thoughts were I'm going to work here for two months and get a raise, that probably, like, he said, him 24 just started here a couple of months. You're also 24 and just starting, so. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of, a lot to unpack that.

And I don't know if he just was going to work there for a couple months, and then, like, that was the expectation just to help his dad start it. Yeah, and maybe it is. Maybe it was. But. If you like doing it, I just talk to your dad. If you don't like doing it and you're telling, you're looking for us to give you advice to get out of there, then go.

Yeah. Just quit. Then just go. Go to welding school. Yeah. And if you're worried about your dad's once, your dad wants you to be successful. And he wants what's best for you. As a dad, and I know my dad, my dad probably wanted me to work at the honeyhole far before I ended up back there just because he wanted me to come work there.

But he was happy for me when I was here because I was having fun. I was successful. I was doing a fun job. He wasn't like, man, I wish John David would come work for me. So your dad's not going to be like, oh, no, he's going to do something else. Yeah. And if you were going to do something else that was silly, yeah. But going to welding school, that's a good call.

Yeah, that's a good gig. Amen. That is a good call. Any more? One more. One more. Hit us with another. One more.

Jordan, you have kids, right? Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Well, then you're prime person for this. Austin, where's Austin from? Austin doesn't say. He's been listening. He's not a big for Texas.

That's a bold statement. There's a one in 50 chance. Uncle Si, hope you live forever. You're one of his favorite people in the world. Well, I appreciate it. He is going to live forever. Um, he, crap. He drives all over East Texas for where. How did you know? That's amazing. Uh, but here's this question. Do we have any advice for new parents? My wife and I are expecting in September with a baby boy and my brother and his wife are expecting their first child a baby boy at the end of August. So that's pretty cool. Cousins are going to be super close in age. We would love any advice you guys have.

Yeah, I'm listening. Look, here they are. They even got a picture of themselves with the pregnant ladies. There you go. I'm listening. Y'all both married up, by the way. I'm just going to say it. What y'all got for new parents?

New parents. Jordan, you've had kids longer than me. Yeah, I've got a 13 going on 14-year-old and an 8-year-old, and I would say, if anything, time has flown by so fast. I mean, I remember when they were little bitty babies holding them in the hospital, and it is just flown by. And I wish I could have done way more and soaking up the moment throughout their lives. And so I would encourage that.

Always just live each day to the fullest with them and encourage them and help them grow and teach them things. I mean, you're going to do all that anyway. But it's just going to go by so quick. So just make sure you take that time with both of your kids. I mean, it just flies by. That's good advice. I remember a man telling me, and I was about 25, and he was about my age, telling me, hey, enjoy your life.

Take time to smell the roses. Yep. Okay, because one of these days, and he said it one of these days, it'd be like tomorrow, you'll be my age. And that's the way it seemed. My daughter, a good grief, I remember like you're talking about, holding her, and I have her sat in my lap, and the next day I know, she's met some dude got married and lives in Texas.

And he got four kids. Yeah, he got four grandsons. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. So, yeah, that's, but I would say this. Go read about God's man, Job. Okay.

And you'll learn a little bit about patience. Because, you know, that's what I asked God for was patience. And then my wife was pregnant. I didn't know what I was asking. But in retrospect, now that I look at it, well, it taught me patience. There's your answer. There's your answer.

Yeah, my only thing, my new piece, it's new, because I ain't been doing it, just being forthright here. I just read a book called Dad Tired, and I was like, I'm tired, and I'm a dad. I'll read it. And it was really good, but the thing he stressed was mixed Jesus into everything. Don't just discipline and tell them that they're doing wrong because of they're doing wrong. Like, don't just say, don't hit.

Mix Jesus into that. And everything you do, point them to Jesus. And at the end of the day, everything will end up all right. That's biblical. That's going to be our Bible verse today, too. But I really took a lot from that. I'm like, I'm getting mad at my kids and telling them how to do stuff and tell them how we should treat people.

But sometimes I just tell them, hey, you need to be nice to people. I don't tell them why. Yep. And so it's just one thing to always remember, like, okay, I'm about to teach this human being something that they don't know because they're six and they're not you know they just all they want to do is play video games and fall guys and go outside and roll around in dirt but when i'm going to teach them something i'm going to teach it to them as best i can through the eyes of jesus and if you do that you have some pretty solid kids when they're adults and you'll be able to look back and

be proud of it so there's my advice austin there you go martin well i can't tell you learn anything no not yet i'll let you know i'll let you know how to deal with two of me hey his time It's time is coming. It's coming. He's going to have top. He's going to have two of them, babies. He's going to have two of them, baby, is on the top here soon. He's got double ergos holding one on the front, one on the back, and just walking around the grocery store.

I can't wait to see this. What's their mom are going to do? Shopping. Oh. I carried Lottie around one of them things all around Disney where I was a time of my life. I just, I always wanted to have two. It'd be fun. Oh, buddy.

Come get you some. Whenever you want them. That's funny. All right. So I alluded to it. Here's your verse for the day. This goes out to all. Austin and his brother and their family expecting two kids.

Proverbs 226, start children off on the way they should go. And even when they are old, they will not turn from it. We've done that one before, but it's worth doing again. And we're probably going to do it again one day. So always point of to Jesus, my man. Take Jesus for you everywhere you go, boys. Whoa, whoa. We're out.
