  Speaker 1: Hey everybody, what is going on? Welcome back to another
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: episode of Last Stop Waterfowl Outdoors podcast. I'm your host,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Jacob Robery. And as always, it's great to be back
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: with y'all. Man, we are outside today recording this episode
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and I have to tell y'all, It is the first
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: time in quite a while that it feels a little
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: bit like hunting season. And what I mean by that
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is we are here in South Louisiana today recording this episode.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And we have temperatures that have since Friday. We are
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: now recording here on Sunday. Friday, we had a little front,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: our first major cold front of the year. What you
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: could consider, I guess, a true cold front for us
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: here down south. Where we had, we went from, I think,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: like it was 91, 92, 93, somewhere in that range.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago and we dropped down into
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the 50s even the upper to mid 40s for some
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of us depending where you're at here in Louisiana so
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: as we record this episode sitting outside I'll tell you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: what you can't ask for much better weather than it
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is right now sunny it is breezy I'll say that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: because the front came through it is breezy so if
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you've been out there This weekend, trying to do a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: little bit of hunting or a little bit of boating,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it's a little breezy this weekend. I know a couple
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of y'all I talked to tried to do some squirrel hunting.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: They said, hey, beautiful weather. Felt awesome to be in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the woods with these temperatures. Knocked back the mosquitoes a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: little bit. But it's winter. It's hard to find them squirrels.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be able to get up there in the deer stand,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: do a little bit of bow hunting, but I think
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of us, we're going to be out there
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: either way. It don't really matter, especially when you have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: temperatures like this. I know for me personally, I'm going
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to be probably lighting my first fire on the back
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: patio this evening and kind of get that season kicked off.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: A little fire pit season, man. It's awesome to be
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: able to crank it up and get going. It actually
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: feels like hunting season now because it's been so damn hot.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I know So many of us have been talking about that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of us have been working like dogs over
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the summer, and we are ready to get into some
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: cooler temperatures. which also means we are closer to duck season.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: We all know that's the case. And y'all know that's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: where I'm going to lead into on a episode, any episode,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: because I get the opportunity. I'm very blessed to sit
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: down with all of you, the listeners and talk waterfowl
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: hunting or really anything else that comes up with the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: outdoors here in Louisiana and across the flyway. So I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: hope y'all doing well, hope y'all enjoying the weather. And
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: we're going to have some fun on this episode because we,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: This episode, just to tease it a little bit, guys,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we're going to sit back in this episode, and I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: have compiled a list. And I know a lot of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: y'all tell me, you say, man, I love whenever you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: do the list episodes where either it's a top, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: top five, top ten, or you have a list that
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you create and you go off of and you discuss
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a certain topic. A lot of people talk about how
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: they like those episodes. And in this one, we're going
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to sit back and we're going to look at ourselves
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: as waterfowl guys today. We're going to make a little
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: bit of fun and maybe point the fingers at a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: couple of our hunting buddies that are also maybe in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: duck camp throughout the season. So, what I titled this episode, guys,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and what we're going to discuss is duck camp stereotypes.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Which one are you? And that's going to be a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: lot of fun, I think, because a lot of us
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: are going to be able to sit back and say, yep,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that's me. Or you're going to be able to say, hey,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that ain't me, but I know such and such. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: my buddy, that's him, definitely. So... You know, when I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thought about this episode, I said, hey, I like to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: keep it fun. I like to keep it light. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I started looking back at us as a brotherhood of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: waterfowl enthusiasts. You know, we all are pursuing the same thing.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: We all either have a rich tradition in duck hunting
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: or maybe you're new to duck hunting. And as you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: get into it more and more, you go through different
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: phases in your life if you're a duck hunter over
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: time and in your hunting career, you know. And we
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: all have different phases most of the time. But as
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you make that journey as a duck hunter, however long
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you stay in it, or if you start in it
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and you end up finishing your life in it, there's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that we can look back on
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and agree that we shouldn't have done or that we
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: done that was pretty funny. And maybe we wouldn't do
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it again or something that we may do again. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: every duck camp in America has the exact same cast
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of characters. Different faces, but let's be honest, the same guys, right?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: No matter if you're a high-end duck club, if you're
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a public land group of guys that get together and hunt,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: maybe you have some family property, it doesn't matter. We
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: have the same characters in every duck camp I've ever
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: been to, every group I've hunted with. It's just different
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: faces across those different groups. So running through all of them,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to do a rapid fire episode right here, guys.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And by the end, you'll know exactly which one you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: are or which one your buddy is. So I think
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot of fun. So let's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: jump right into it. How about it? So the first
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: one that I made notes on right here are the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: gear guys, right? Everybody knows the gear guys. We all
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: got a group or, you know, I'll say a group,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a guy in our group or sometimes a multiple guys
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in our groups that are the gear guys. They're going
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to be responsible for having all the latest gear that's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: out there, whether it's decoys, guns, clothing, whatever it is.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: They're going to have it. And the one stereotype that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I always laugh at is the kazoo caller, I call them.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So we all know what a kazoo is. For us
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: older guys, at least we know, that's a little birthday
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: party deal. They used to hand you out at the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: birthday parties. It was like a little horn. You'd blow
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on that. Or if you had a celebration, an anniversary,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: somebody would hand out those little plastic kazoos. So everybody
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: has the kazoo caller in their group. It's $ 3, 000 worth
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of custom calls, but yet they sound like a dying kazoo,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: like that little plastic toy that you get handed out
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: at those parties. And to be honest with you, the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: kazoo caller has an opinion on every callmaker's tone. So
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: no matter what callmakers out there, no matter what duck
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: call hits the market, they have an opinion on the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: tone of that duck call. and whether or not it
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: sounds like it should or doesn't sound like it should.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So the kazoo caller is definitely one of those guys
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that we have in the group. Spends tons of money
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: on those dug calls, and yet they sound like they're
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: blowing a kazoo that costs about 25 cents. The second one,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the Sitka Fashion Show guy. We all know that now
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: very well. I think y'all could agree on that, man.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Clothing and waterfowl hunting has come such a long way,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and there's always a Sitka Fashion Show, it seems like, nowadays.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And I know I'm picking on Sitka. It's not just Sitka.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It could be Shin. It could be Mossy Oak. It
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: could be Burlableau, whatever they call it. All these brands
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that are out there nowadays, there's going to be a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: fashion show in your group or you personally going to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: have to worry about head to toe. New gear tags
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: practically are still on. Yet, you forget your waders whenever
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it's time to go hunt and you don't have the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: gear or you forget a jacket back at the camp.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: When you get to the blind, it's too late. You
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: always got a guy, it seems like, in hunt camp
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that's worried about his clothing, but then you get to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the duck blind or you get on the road to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: take a road trip to go make a hunt somewhere
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and they forgot their clothing that they're so worried about.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I thought that one, that's pretty funny. That's one that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: comes to mind. The next one, when it comes to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the gear guys, we all know quote unquote, the gadget guy, right?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Range finder, two GPS apps, three GPS apps, a drone
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: for scouting. More time on his home, I mean, I'm sorry,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: on his phone than watching the actual sky, than actually
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: doing the scouting. The gadget guy is going to have
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: all the modern technology. He's going to do all the scouting.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: He's going to tell you where the birds should be.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: But yet, he's not a guy that's going to actually
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: go out there, typically put boots on the ground, go
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: out there, scout. But I can tell you what, he
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: has all the GoPros to film the hunts. He has
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: everything when it comes to new gadgets, hearing aids, you know, everything.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You name it, the gadget guy is the guy that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: will have it all, thousands of dollars of new gadgets
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in his bag. and still can't kill a duck. So
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we all know that that guy exists in every camp.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: The next one, the hand loader. How about the hand
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: loader guy? We all know a guy. A lot of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: times the hand loader guy is going to be an
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: older guy because you don't hear a lot of you
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: younger guys talking about guys that do their own shells now,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: load their own shells, that type of stuff. But I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: can promise you in some of the older duck camps
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: out there, we all know the hand loader guy, which
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is a guy who rolls his own shells. He packages
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: his own shells, judges all the factory loads that are available.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: They got hundreds, if not thousands of brands out there
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: on the market. When you go to a sporting goods
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: store of just factory loads, you got companies like, you know,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Heavy Shot. You got companies like, you know, Kent. You
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: got all these major name brand companies that are making
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: shells to where you don't have to go out and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: hand load your own shells nowadays. But there's that one
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: guy that's out there that's going to tell you that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that's all junk. That's all trash. We know that. And
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that there is no shell better than a hand loaded shell.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: So I call that guy the hand loader. He's the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: guy who has the spreadsheets on all his patterning. He's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: going to try to prove to you that those hand
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: loaded rounds are the best rounds. And all those other
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: major name brand loads out there are absolutely junk, right?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: because nobody can build a good shell that's in the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: hunting industry out there nowadays. I laugh when I think
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: about that one because a lot of times, like I mentioned,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that is going to be a guy who is an
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: older guy. He's been doing it. His daddy probably hand-loaded shells,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you know, and he has the machines at home, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: which is funny because I think back on my childhood
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and I remember my dad, he used to hand load
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: his own shells. Now, granted, this was back in the 80s.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: You didn't have all the brands of shells that you
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: got out there like you got nowadays. So a lot
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of my dad's friends that they hunted together, they would
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: hand load their shells. It was cheaper back then. That
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was really the reason they would do it. They would
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: go ahead and it was cheaper to buy the machines
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to hand load, all the materials to do the hand load.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And they would go out there and do it and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they could save some money at the time. they thought
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that they had a better shell, like, you know, that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they could find in the stores. And at the time,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: with the advances of steel shot and all that stuff
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: not being there like it is today, a lot of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: times they probably were right on that. You know, they
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: were coming out of the lead era and into when
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: steel shot got mandated. So my dad, I remember sitting at,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: my sisters had like a little, a little tee of,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: little Playhouse T tabletop. And it was made for like...
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It was like something you see from Play School or
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Little Tykes or something like that that you see in
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the toy section at the toy store at your Walmarts
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And my dad had a whole...
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: set up for loading shells that I would help him
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: load shells on that little teapot coffee table that we
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: had in an extra room in our house growing up.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: And we had primers. He had gunpowder. He had everything
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he needed for us to hand load our shells. And
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I remember sitting on that hand load machine with my
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: daddy pulling on that lever, crimping those shells down. So
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: we all know, I still think if we don't all know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of us do know some of these older
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: generation guys in camp, that's going to be the hand
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: loader guy, right? They can make a shell better than
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: what's out there, even though there's hundreds of thousands of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: damn shells out on the market right now. And when
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: it comes to the last one with the gear guys, guys,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: how about the boat captain? We all have a boat
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: captain in the group, right? Boat costs more than his truck.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: It's set up head to toe. Look, I was in
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the boating industry. I know some of these guys got
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: trucks that look like they've been ran through hell and back,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: but yet they got a $ 40, 000 boat. That's got, you know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: everything on it. Lights, sound system everything on this thing
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that is cost more than the truck because they hardcore
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: about duck hunting they serious about hunting and they want
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to make sure they got a setup that could be
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: versatile and get out there so we all know the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: boat captain boat costs more than the truck uh he
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: idles into the dock that's another thing i made a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: note of how about when they idle into the dock
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: on that expensive boat like it's a yacht. Like, they
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: don't want to put a scratch on it. They don't
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: want them in it. And they're coming into that public
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: boat launch, and, boy, they're trying to get in there
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: just as delicate as possible so they don't put a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: scratch on it. And that's what I call the boat captain,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that guy who spends that money on that boat. He
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: don't want to put a scratch on it. He don't
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: want to get that thing scratched up. Then what the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: hell are we doing duck hunting with a $ 40, 000 boat
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: if you're that guy that don't want to scratch? That's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: what I would say. That's how I would think. If
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to buy a boat, it's going to be
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a tool. We're going to use it, and we're going
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to go out there, and we're going to put some
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: scratches on it. So they pull in. Some of these
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: guys will pull in like they're docking a yacht, you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and somehow always first to the hole, right, because they
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: got the biggest, baddest-ass boat. They're going to be first
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to the hole, so they're going to make sure that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: boat's in the water. It's as fast as it can be.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Got that stage kit on it, some of them. And
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they're going to make sure that they first to the hole.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: So that's what it boils down to when we talk
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: about stereotypes for the gear guys, guys. So the next
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: category I thought would be pretty funny is when it
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: comes to stereotypes for duck hunters is blind personalities. Everybody
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that steps foot in the blind has a different personality.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And a lot of times, I always say this, is
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: if you could find a group of guys that you
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: could hunt with, a lot of times if you repeatedly
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: hunt with those guys or you hunt with them for
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a long period of time, a lot of times you're
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: going to have very similar personalities to each other because
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you work well as a cohesive unit of guys that
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: hunt together, right? You gel well. You got guys that
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you know are reliable. But even within that, even if
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you're lucky enough to find that, you know, that type
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of group of guys to hunt with, Everybody within that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: group has different personalities, right? That's what people say sometimes.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: So what are some of the things they say when
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it comes to blind personalities? What types of guys could
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: possibly be in that group? So the first one I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: thought of was the greenhead pierced, right? Boy, you got
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: those guys. They only want to shoot mallards, and they
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: got that mentality. We don't shoot anything but mallards. That's
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: what you'll see. Duck camps across the flyways. You will
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: find that there are personalities like that that say that.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Every other duck that's out there is a trash duck.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: All you kill, all they kill is mallards. And then
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: they'll even get as picky as saying, hey, I only
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: shoot Drake Mallards. I don't shoot Hen Mallards. Why would
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you want to shoot Hen Mallards? Because that decimates the population.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: You'll get those guys that'll preach to you all the time.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So the greenhead purist, he sky busts the spoonie at
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: 60 yards when he says that all he kills is Mallards, right?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: That's usually how it goes down. Those guys that preach, preach, preach, man,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: all I shoot is mallards. That's all I kill. All
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I go out at is greenheads. They'll be the first
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: one that'll pull up at 60 yards and sky bust
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a spoon and drop him in the middle of the spread. No,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: no questions asked. And we all know a guy like that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: The second guy that ties into when we talk about
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: stereotypes is the sky buster. Everybody talks about sky busting.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: If it got wings, the sky buster, it's in range.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: He's going to tell you that it is in range,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: even though it's 100 yards out. He's going to pull
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: up there, and he's going to take those shots because
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: he wants to be the first one to shoot, and
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: he thinks that because he's shooting that extended full choke
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: with his business shot, he can reach out there at 100,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: 120 yards, 80 yards, whatever it may be, and he's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: going to be able to drop them. We all know
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a guy like that, and I guarantee you he misses
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: more times than not. Every now and then, he'll get
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that one that ends up getting a pellet in it,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and he ends up probably dropping it. That bird ends
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: up falling about 200 yards away from where he shot it,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and at that point, he's convinced again that he can
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: hit them at that range consistently, and he can't. That's
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the guy that I would say is called the skybuster
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: from what I've seen through the years. How about this guy,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the I know a spot guy? We all know a
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: guy like that. I have known so many guys like that,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the I know a spot guy. His secret hole is
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the same public spot everyone else hunts, right? That guy,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that always seems to be the case. I can't tell y'all.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: How many times I have hunted with people through the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: years and somebody will approach me or they'll hit me
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: up and they'll say, hey, Jacob, man, you need to
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: come on a hunt with me. I got a spot
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that nobody knows about, man. It's on public or but
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: nobody I've never seen anybody in there. And then you
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: go make that hunt. And I used to do this
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in my younger years. A lot of times we'd hook
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: up with people, you know, and go make hunts like that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And then you get there, and then you realize it's
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: a spot you've either hunted before or you've been in
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: that area or you know somebody that's hunted it before.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: So the I know a spot guy always cracks me up, y'all,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: because he always thinks that there's a secret spot, it
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: seems like, when in reality, especially as public land guys,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Everybody tends to find it, especially nowadays. There's no secret spots.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: We've talked about that a million times. We all know
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that that isn't the case anymore. The next guy, the weatherman.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: That's an important one. Any group that you're in, you're
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: going to have a weatherman. He calls the migration. based
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: off of the weather on TV, based off of the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: weather on his apps on his phone. A front's pushing
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: birds down that day. He's going to tell you, and
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: then you get out there and it's dead skies. Or, hey,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the birds ain't going to be flying today. The weather's
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: not set up right. And then you go out there
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and you end up having the best damn day you've
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: ever had that season. which is always, always a blast.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Or he'll say, man, you know, the weather set up
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: right this week. It's setting up awesome. We're going to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: have an awesome week. And then you go out there
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: and you don't kill him. And he says, well, you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: it's because we worked all week and we didn't get
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: to hunt until Saturday. Or we didn't get to hunt
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: until Sunday in the front past Friday. on Friday, or
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: it passed on a Monday. It always seems to be
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the weatherman always got an excuse if you don't kill them,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: that the weather was either a day late or a
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: day early and you just missed it because, you know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: of course you didn't have the opportunity to go out
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: there and hunt. You were working. Who would be able
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to hunt during the week? So we all know that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: he he'll tell you exactly, Hey, the weather is this, uh,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing and the migration, it should be this. They
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: should be down here. Uh, or they, they haven't arrived
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: yet or the man, those temperatures pushed them out of
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: here because it went up two degrees, uh, from yesterday. Hey,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you always laugh at those guys because they live and
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: die by the weather and they think that they could
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: predict the migration. And we all seem to know somebody
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: like that. It's, It's always very, very funny in my opinion.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: But the next guy, how about the TikToker guys? Films everything.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: He never really hunts, not really interested in the hunting
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: aspect of it. He just wants to go out there
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and film, but he says he's a hunter. He tells
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: everybody he's a hunter. He'll tell you that he's one
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: of the most die-hard duck hunters out there, but when
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: you get out there, he never really wants to participate
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: in the hunt and contribute to the bag limits. He
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: just wants to get out there and take selfies. He
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: wants to take TikToks. He wants to post videos of
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: himself doing this, doing that, everything but hunting. the tiktoker
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and i say the tiktoker that goes for all social
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: media you got i've had people with me before i
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: think that they're pretty hardcore hunters and then i invite
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: them on a hunt i get them out there and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: they they have their gun leaned up against the boat
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: or against the blind and they more worried about taking
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: selfies and every other picture in the blind looking good
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the sunsets the sun all that stuff, and they ain't
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: even worried about the hunting. And look, hey, I ain't
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: knocking it. If you want to do that, hey, bro,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: do you in that situation. Definitely go out there, enjoy
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: whatever gives you stress relief, but Those guys are oftentimes
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the ones saying that they diehard duck hunters. They're going
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: to be out there no matter what, rain, sleet, snow.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And that may be the truth, but that don't mean
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: they're going to be hunting. They may be filming or
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: taking selfies out there. So the TikToker. The next one
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: we got, guys, the shot caller. Every group, and I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: mean every group, that I've ever hunted with for over
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: 40 years of waterfowl hunting, guys, that I've been out
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: there in a blind. When I was young, As I've
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: gotten older, there is always the shot caller. And that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: guy calls the shot early every time. He's the shot caller.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: but he's always going to be at the wrong time
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: whenever he calls the shot. He's so anxious that the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: birds are coming in or they're working the spread that
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: he's going to call the shot for the group. He's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the guy in charge. He's supposed to be the expert.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: He's supposed to be the guy that has the experience
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: when it comes to that, but he's going to call
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: that shot early. Everybody's going to pull up. You're going
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to hear him screaming, take them, and the birds are
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: still circling at 50 to 60 yards out. We all
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: know it. Y'all know we know it. So when I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: say the shot caller, everybody could typically relate to the
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: shot caller because that is such an accurate description that
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: every group has a guy who's going to be the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: guy in charge of calling the shots. And let's be honest,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of them aren't very experienced and a lot
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: of them are so anxious they call those shots early
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and end up blowing it for the whole group of us.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: So That wraps up a lot of our blind personality stereotypes.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good summary of it. In
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that situation, which one are you? Do you fit into
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: any of those categories? Or who out there is somebody
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: that you know in your group or that you could
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: call out maybe you've hunted with before that is one
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: of those people when it comes to waterfowl hunting and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that's those stereotypes to the personalities in the blind? Well,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: number four, let's talk about this, the camp characters. That's
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a category that I wrote down, the camp characters. You
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: always got this guy in camp, which is the camp chef, right?
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: He doesn't hunt, not interested in hunting, but he ain't
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: going to miss an opening weekend. He ain't going to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: miss a weekend with the boys. He doesn't hunt. All
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: he's worried about is cooking. And when he's worried about cooking,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: he wants to be the first one in the pot.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: He wants to eat first. And somehow he's essential to
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the group, right? And I talk about this all the time.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I've said, you know, when I grew up in Evangelical Parish,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: my grandfather, my uncles, my dad and all them, whenever
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: they used to talk about this guy, the camp chef,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: We refer to them or they refer to them as
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the camp dog. And that's what I always grew up
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: calling them was the camp dog because the camp dog
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: was the person that was responsible for the cooking, for
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: building the fire, for making sure everybody had ice whenever
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: they got back to the camp from hunting. you know,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to make sure they had ice for the drinks that night,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: whatever they had to have. He'd go make change if
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: they were playing cards that night, whatever it was going
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to be, you know, and he made sure that everything
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: was in order and he could give two shits about
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: whether or not he went hunting. Didn't even want to hunt.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: He's going to do it, get everything organized. He's going
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to cook breakfast. He's going to, you know, go take
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: him a little mid-morning nap. Then he's going to come
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: wake up and he's going to cook some lunch for
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: when everybody got back Go ahead, take another little nap
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: after lunch sometime, and then everybody, get them fired up
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: for the night, have everything ready to go, and he's
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: going to cook you a good meal. The camp chef
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: is the guy that is totally, in my opinion, one
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: of the most essential people, but it is definitely a
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: stereotype when it comes to waterfowl hunting and something that's
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a must-have in our duck camps. The next one, when
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: it comes to camp characters, guys, how about the old-timer? Man,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I look at this, and I wrote to myself, 40-year-old,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: He has a 40-year-old 1100, Remington 1100. He has a
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: canvas coat. He outshoots everyone. He doesn't have all the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: latest and greatest gear. He has an old rusted gun,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: an 870 that he's been shooting for 40 years, a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Remington 1100, an old Browning. He has all the oldest
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: gear out there. He don't have a lick of actual camo, brown,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: drab colors. You know, he got the old flannel. But
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that dude will straight up outkill everybody in duck camp.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: He's killed more ducks than you've ever seen. There's always
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a guy like that. And a lot of us know that.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And even though we won't admit that, that guy is
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the guy when it comes to the killing machine in
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: every duck camp. The ones that are old school like that,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: when you see a guy, he don't have to have
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the latest and greatest camo like that, and you know
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: he's hunted his whole life, that tells you something right there.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: He knows how to kill them, and he don't have
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to have all the fancy gear to kill them. So
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the old-timer, that's the guy you're going to see right there.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And I laugh because I started thinking about that. I said, man,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I'm becoming the old-timer now. I'm getting close to... 50
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: years old, I'm touching closer to 50 now than I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: am 40. And am I fitting into that category? That's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: what I started looking at. But I don't think I'm
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: there quite yet, but it ain't far off. I'll tell
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you all that. I'm not too far away from it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: But the old timer, if I achieve that status, I'll
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: be honest with y'all. If I achieved that status right there,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the old-timer status off of what I just told y'all
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: is the stereotypical things I think of when I think
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: of him, I'd be pretty happy with myself, I think.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I'd feel accomplished if I get to be the old-timer. Now,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: since I'm thinking about it, I'd be extremely, extremely accomplished myself.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: If I could get to that point where I'm that
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: guy and I can consider myself the old-timer, right? If
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I'm that guy with the older gun, I got the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: canvas coat, I got the old flannel on, and I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: can out-shoot and still kill them birds, drop them better
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: than anybody in duck camp, then I think I'd be
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: happy with that. I think most of y'all would too, right?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The next guy, the whiskey thermos guy. This is always
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: an interesting one. This guy and this stereotype, this guy
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: tends to be the most interesting person in the duck
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: blind whenever he shows up with that thermos. So what's
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: he have? What's the whiskey thermos guy got? Well, he
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: got a blind bag. You know, his blind bag, it's
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: 60% thermos. That's exactly what it is. He's going to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: have a blind bag in it, and he can't fit
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: very much in it, but he got that damn thermos
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: in it. He gets friendlier every hour after the sunrise.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And we all know why, I think, because he is
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the whiskey thermos guy. And we all know that that
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: ain't coffee in that thermos, right? He's out there. He's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: enjoying the sunrise. He's freezing cold. But you know what? Yeah, yeah,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it ain't too bad. Weather ain't too bad. And he's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: out there sipping on that thermos. Well, we know, let's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: just call him Uncle Charlie. Old Uncle Charlie ain't sipping
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: on no coffee out there. The reason he's getting looser
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and looser every hour is because he's warm. He got
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that little hotty toddy in him and he got that
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: thermos that's going to last him throughout the day if
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you got to stay out there all day. Or if
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the hunt ends early, he's going to have enough to
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: be able to take him back to the camp and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: continue drinking at the camp. So the whiskey thermos guy
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Probably one of the most livelier guys in the duck blind.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: He is one of them guys that you are going
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to enjoy the entire day as long as that thermos
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: has something in it. And when he cracks that vacuum
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: on it, he can pour something out of it. That's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: going to be Uncle Joe. And he is the whiskey
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: thermos guy. A lot of us know him. He's in
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: our duck blinds every year. How about the napper? That's
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: another stereotype I got when it comes to camp characters.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: The nap, he's asleep by 8.30 in the duck blind.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: He don't care of the mallets. He ain't waiting on
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: no big ducks to show up late. We all know
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that them big ducks ain't been flying until 9, 10 o'clock,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock in some cases. The napper, hey,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: if it ain't flying before 8.30, it ain't dying because
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: he is catching up on them Zs and he is sleeping.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: He is worried. Hey, that sun's hitting him just right
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: in that duck blind. It's cold outside, but hey, you
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: know what? He's bundled up. He done ate his breakfast.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: He got a belly full of biscuits and bacon. He
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: is ready for a nap. He's going to be out there.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: You're going to think somebody got a malfunctioning duck calling
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the blind because he's going to be snoring so hard
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: on the side of you. He's going to sound like
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: somebody trying to blow a duck call out there. Ass crack. Basically,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the napper is going to be snoring so hard. So
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: that guy is I can't tell you how many times,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: whether you're a child that's in a duck blind with
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you or somebody that's older, there is a napper in
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: every duck blind if you hunt for or as a
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: group of people throughout the season in America. Wakes up
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: only For the volley, I made a note. So if
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: he does get up, you're going to say, hey, they're working.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Somebody's going to make a comment in the blind, and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that dude will come from the deepest sleep in the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: blind to all of a sudden he is alert. He
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: has his finger on the gun, and he is ready
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to hit that safety and pull up and shoot and
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: drop them. There are some guys like that. Some of them,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: they'll sleep through the whole damn hunt I've been with before.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: But then you got this other guy that, He can
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: be dead slept. You have to check pulse to see
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: if he's breathing. And then all of a sudden you
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: say something about a group of birds coming down or
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: coming towards you. And that dude, all of a sudden
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you look back and his eyes are open. He has
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: his hand with his gun in his hand and he
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: has his finger on the safety ready to pull up
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and drop some birds. I don't know how they do it, man.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. I'm not that guy. I can't do that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I don't sleep in a duck blind. I'm too anxious.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I'm too excited. I like watching the nature. I like
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: watching the birds and finding them up in the sky.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I like working them birds. But I tell you what,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: there is a Napper personality in every camp that we got.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: And this guy, the final one when it comes to
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: characters that I talked about and I made notes of
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: is the excuse factory guy. How about the excuse factory guy?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: What sums him up? Well, the sun was in his eyes.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Shells were wet. The dog moved, man. That's why I
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: didn't hit him. They flared because the dog moved. Man,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I I didn't get none of them out the group.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: When I pulled the trigger, my gun went click, my
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: shells were wet. You know, it must be them wet
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: shells that I had accidentally fell out my way this
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: last hunt. You know what? When I pulled up, I
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: was in the shade when I was watching them birds.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And when you called take them, I pulled up, sun
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: right in my eyes, man. I didn't hit a goddamn thing.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I shot every shell in my gun, but I didn't
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: hit nothing. The sun was in my eyes. Y'all know
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, right? There's always a God like that.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: And it makes me laugh because we all know that
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: that's so true. There is always an excuse factory God
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: that's with you. Somebody, if they don't drop them. they're
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: going to tell you why they didn't drop them. And
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: they're going to come up with the wildest shit when
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: it comes to excuses you've ever heard. And they never
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: just missed, right? They always going to tell you they
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: missed because of, and then they're going to have a factory.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, a excuse factory behind it that they're going
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: to drop on you. So it's never, man, I just sucked.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I just missed. I don't know what happened. I just missed. No,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: those guys, they're going to have every excuse in the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: book when it comes to it. So, I think that
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: pretty much wraps up my camp characters. A lot of
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: y'all could probably relate to that stereotype when it comes
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: to personalities in the duck blind. And it's really, it's funny, guys. Look,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: this is really to laugh at ourselves. I'm guilty of
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: some of these myself. I know some of you are
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: guilty of it, or we know somebody who's guilty of
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: all these people. But y'all know, I'm keeping it real
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: with y'all. I'm telling y'all the truth because we've all
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: been there and y'all know these personalities exist. So number five,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: another personality stereotype when it comes to duck camp and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: duck season, the personalities that we deal with. How about
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the dog people? That's another category. So what type of
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: stereotypes are the dog people? Well, I enabled this one,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the pro trainer. The dog is better trained than he is.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: So the pro trainer, that guy, we know the dog
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: has been to every possible dog training that he could
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: be to. He spent thousands and thousands of dollars on
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: training that dog. And what we end up finding out
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: whenever you hunt with him is that the dog is
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: actually more disciplined and trained than the guy, the pro trainer.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: So he is the guy who doesn't have the patience.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: He can't wait for them to make a pass close
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: enough to be able to take a shot at it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: He runs hand signals you'll never even understand. He looks
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: like he's doing sign language out there to the dog
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: because he's giving sign signals that looks like he's giving
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: directions for a 737 to take off of a runway.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: They're doing signs that I've never even seen in my life.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's foreign language or they're trying
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: to launch a plane in the duck blind with the dog.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: But the pro trainer is definitely going to pull out
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: some hand signals that you've probably never seen before. And
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, you just look at him, sit there,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: scratch your head, and say, what in the F are
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: you doing? Because the dog's looking at him. You know
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: how that dog kind of looks at you and then
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: they give you that cock-to-head look? A dog even turns
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: around and looks at it and says, man, I got
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to get away from this dude. I got to go
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: out there and get this bird. I know where it's at.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: He's sending me in a totally different direction. But the
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: pro trainer is going to tell you that he knows
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: everything about that dog. He knows how to operate that dog.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: He knows how to give those signals to that dog
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: and make that dog find that bird that fell in
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the marsh out there. that nobody else could find because
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: he has been around. And when he got his dog trained,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: he either trained him himself or he studied those guys,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: teaching them at school how to do it. And he
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: knows how to do it. So he now is also
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a professional trainer. The other guys, when it comes to
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: dog people, he's still a learning guy. Boy, I can
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: tell you, I've heard that a lot. I've had people
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: through the years, guys, tell me, man, can I bring
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: my dog, Jacob? I got a dog, and I'm telling you, man,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: he is good. He'll recover them birds for us. Would
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: you mind if I bring my dog? And I'll say, sure,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: because I'll be honest with y'all. I always love to
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: see a good dog work. Who doesn't love to see
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: a good dog work? There is nothing better than watching
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: that dog do his thing. That is well-trained out there.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And he go out there, fetch that bird for you.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Whenever you don't have to get out that duck bond
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and go recover them yourself, or it's a bird that
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: you can't find. And that dog's able to go out
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: there and retrieve that, you know, damn well, you would
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: have never got. So. that he's still learning God where
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: he comes into play is when you get him out there,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you get that guy out there with his dog that
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: he has to bring. And this dog, you get out
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: there and you find out that this dog is seven
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: years old. He's six years old. And he goes out there,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and he can't find a needle. He can't find nothing.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: He can't find a T-bone steak on a hot skillet
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the decoys. And your buddy looks
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: back at you, and that still learning guy says, well,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: guess what, guys? Man, you know what? He just didn't
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: see it. He's still learning. That's the still learning guy.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: We've heard that excuse a bunch of times through the years.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that. They'll tell you that they're awesome.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: They do this. They worked with them. They got a
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: really good duck dog. You get out there, and like
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I said, a T-bone steak can be sitting on a
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: hot skillet in the middle of the decoy spread, and
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: that dog will not sniff it out. He will not
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: find it. And you're looking at that old boy kind
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: of sideways that told you his dog's awesome. And he says,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: he's still learning. You know, it's because of this or
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: it's because of that. That is the I'm still or
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: he's still learning guy right there. That's exactly who I'm
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: talking about, guys. And the last one, the no dog borrower.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: The no dog borrower doesn't own a dog. He's always
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: hunting over yours. That's why he's the, I don't borrow
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: nobody's dog, but yet he's always in his YouTube videos
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: hunting with a dog. Or you see pictures of him
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: with a duck dog. And he says, man, I'm not
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: borrowing anybody's dog. But at the same time, he's got
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: your dog that he's taking pictures with because he took
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: him hunting. So he doesn't own a dog. He's always
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: hunting with your dog. He's asking to borrow the dog,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: but he's going to tell you he don't borrow nobody's dog.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't borrow nobody's dog, but Hey man,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: can I take your dog? Can I take your dog
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: with it? I really liked the way he retrieved them birds.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: He found them hard to find birds for us. So
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: there is a such thing. And I've had guys like
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that as well, man. They will tell you that they
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: don't have a dog. They don't hunt with a dog,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: but yet you see them in pictures and you'll ask
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: them about it. You'll say, Hey, And whose dog is that?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I thought you didn't have a dog. No, man, I
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: don't have a dog. You know, we were hunting with
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: my buddy's dog. And I'll say, oh, you borrowed that
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: dog at all. But I don't borrow nobody's dog. But
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: then you'll see him again a week later. And they
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: got the dog again. Dog borrows, guys. That is the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: guy who says I am the no dog borrower. But
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: he is the dog borrower. He will rent your dog
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and not even pay you a dime for it because
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: he loves hunting with your dog. He don't have to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: buy one. All right, guys. So as we get ready
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: to wrap up, I did a little quick lightning round
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: right here of stereotypes when it comes to waterfowl hunting.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: And let's start with the lightning round right here. We're
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: going to go the Marganza Apologist. They eat fine if
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you cook them right. Nobody believes them. How many times
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: have we heard that before? They eat fine. If you
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: cook them right, no, mofo, they don't eat fine. A
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Morganza does not eat fine. It is like chewing or
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: trying to cook boot leather is what it ends up
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: turning out. Not to mention it stinks like ass. Those
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: of you who have shot Morganzas before, you know exactly
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. A Morganza will smell like ass
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: before you even take it home with you in the
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: boat ride out of the duck blind. They are just
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: stinky damn creatures. They are. A Morganza? Look, I'm going
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to keep it real with y'all. Y'all know I'm going
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: to keep it real with y'all. I live in Louisiana.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a big old boy. I grew up in a
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: family that could cook. I could eat. If they could cook,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I could eat, right? If you could cook, you could
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: probably eat. And you know people just like it. If
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: we can't cook a Morganza in Louisiana, let me ask
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: y'all this. When's the last time you turned on social
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: media and you seen somebody with a Morganza recipe that
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: they cooking up? Hell no. The reason you didn't is
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: because nobody's doing it because they're nasty. But you're going
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to have a guy who's trying to shoot a morganza.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: He's going to be the first one to pull up.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: You're going to let the morganzas come land in the decoys.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: You're going to say, no, man, that's morganza. You're going
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: to say, somebody's going to say in the blind, let's
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: take them, man. That's a good bird. And then they're
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: going to pull up and shoot them and blast them.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: And you're going to be looking at them saying, what
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the F are you doing? And they're going to tell you, man,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: they eat fine if you cook them right. No, they
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: don't eat fine because they're fucking nasty. They're gross. They
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: don't eat fine. Nobody eats fine when it comes to
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: talking about eating Morganses. And the reason you don't hear
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: him talking about eating Morganses is because most people don't
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: eat Morganses. That's exactly right. Why you get to that
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: point with them. You tell them, call them out. No,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: nobody eats that. But I can tell y'all, if you
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in Louisiana and you can't make a Morganses, we can't
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: make a Morganses taste good as Louisiana people that could cook.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It ain't good. I promise y'all. And there's some crazy
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: shit we cook in Louisiana. Y'all know that. Y'all absolutely
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: know that we cook some crazy stuff in Louisiana. But
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: the Marganza apologists, there's going to be one that wants
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: to blast them. And then he can't just leave them
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: there because he looks like a jackass because you're not
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: killing an animal just to kill them. So he's going
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: to tell you they cook well. No, they don't. How
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: about the next one? The decoy perfectionist. Everybody got a
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: decoy perfectionist in the group, right? 45 minutes on the spread.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I put. He's going to spend 45 minutes
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: on the spread, making sure each decoy is in the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: perfect spot. Birds land in the empty pocket anyway. So
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: wherever the decoy, whatever amount of time or whatever amount
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: of time he spends on them decoys, which could seem
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: like forever because you got to get there three hours
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: before shooting time. So you could have the decoy spread
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: looking right. with the decoy perfectionist guy, then them birds
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: are still not gonna land next to them decoys. They're
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: gonna land on the open pocket somewhere off to the
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: side of the decoys. Boy, I tell you, that happens
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: so often. And I can tell you, I have laughed
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: when I was thinking about this list of stereotypes. I said,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: we got to put them on there because I know
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: everybody has a guy like that in their group. The
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: decoy perfectionist is in every hunting group I've ever been in,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: every duck camp I've ever been in. And there's always
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: a guy like that. And you know what? That's usually
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the guy that makes sure all the decoys are there,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: which is a great thing. Hallelujah. that you got a
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: guy like that in there. But it's funny because no
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: matter what he thinks the strategy is, the wind tells
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: me I should put the decoys here. We should go J-hook.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: We should go in a different formation. We should go
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: in that formation. They're going to still land over there
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: with the damn coots that are 20 yards off to
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: the right where no other decoys are at. It's the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: funnest thing. It's happened for as many years I've been hunting,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and it's a real thing. So how about the limit counter?
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: That's another one. I got the limit counter guy. He
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: announces everyone's count after every volley that they shoot at,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: and that's the truth. You always got a guy in
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: the group, man. You're hunting in a group, and you say, okay,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Here they come. Everybody gets ready. You get a volley
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: that comes in a bird's pull up and shoot boom, boom, boom.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: You see him drop and they have one guy in
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the group. That's gonna tell you, hey, Joe, that's your
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: fourth green head. That's four till for you, Joe. You
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: got him. The banded bird falls. Hey, I got that band. Well, buddy,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: you didn't shoot at that band. No, no, no, no,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I did. You just didn't see him. He announces it.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: He'll be the first guy to tell you that he
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: dropped that bird with the band. or if it's a
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: bucket list bird that comes in, he saw that bird
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: even though he was on the opposite side of the
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: damn duck blind. He knows he didn't shoot it, but
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: he's going to announce that he shot it, and he's
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: going to tell you the limits that everybody in the
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: blind got. And that exactly is the limit counter. He's
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: going to let you know exactly where the group stands
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: for that day, If anybody is over the limit that
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: day or under the limit, I promise you it is
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: not his fault because he done announced it to everybody.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: After every bird was shot, every bird that hit the water,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: he accounted for it, logged it in, put it down
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: under your name, and he has the tally in the blind.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: He's going to let you know what it is. This guy,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the last one right here, guys, the early lever guy.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: When we're talking about guys that we know in our
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: groups during duck season, we're going to have the early
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: leaver guy. He's going to say, we're leaving early today.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I got to be out by sometime, whatever it is.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: And then next thing you're going to know, you're going
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: to be hearing, all right, one more group, one more volley.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: means three more hours. That's exactly what that means. That
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: guy never wanted to leave early. His wife might have
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: told him he had to be home for a honeydew
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: list that morning. He's the early leaver that day. But
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, y'all are running late and you
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: scrambling to get to that honeydew because he is one
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: more pass, one more volley, one more bird. We only
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: need two more to get a lemon. I know we've
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: been struggling. We can't hit the side of a goddamn
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: board today, but we are not leaving right now. He
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: is the early leaver. He's the exact opposite of of
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: what he says or what he's proclaiming that day that
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: he got to leave early. And look, let's be honest.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: God announces he got to leave early. Most of us
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: are like, God damn, why we invited him? Why we
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: brought him with us? We don't want to leave early.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: That guy, a lot of times he ain't leaving early.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if he's a diehard and he does
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: this and you know, he loves it as much as
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: you do. He ain't leaving early. He's going to be
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: late that day. I promise you. So, or every now
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: and then you get a guy like that and he
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: leaves at eight o'clock. and misses the best flight of
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: birds that day. So there's two ends of that spectrum
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: with the early-leaver guy. He's either lying to you, and
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: he's staying late, and y'all are all going to be
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: running late for whatever obligations you got after the hunt
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: that you're supposed to be home for, or you got
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: that guy who wants to leave at 7, 30, 8 o'clock,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and he's ready to get out of there. He got
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: fucked up last night at the camp. He got drunk.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: He's got a hangover. He wants to get out of there.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: He wants to go take a nap, whatever it may be.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Or we all know the PW guy, right? The guy
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: in the group that his girlfriend got him by the you-know-what,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the old PW, he's old PW, I'll just say that
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: to keep it civil for everybody. But his girlfriend said
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: he got to be home by a certain time. And
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: that early lever guy, he's going to be counting that clock.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: He ain't even looking at the birds up in the sky.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: He's looking at his watch, his cell phone. He's making
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: sure that he got just enough time to be able
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: to make it out of there, get back to the
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: boat launch, get his gear loaded up, get in the truck,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: and make it back before his ass is in trouble
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: in the doghouse when he gets home. So you got
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: two different types of early leavers. You got the guy
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: who's full of crap. He's lying to you. He's saying, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: we got to leave early today to make his wife,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: make his girlfriend happy, meet those obligations. But when it
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: comes down to it, he don't want to leave. The
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: birds are still flying, and y'all going to be there
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: until you get that limit, or at least he's satisfied.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: And then on the other hand of that, you got
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: the true early leaver. He's PW'd. He got to be home.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: He got to get out of there for this. He
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: got to be out of there for that. He ain't
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: even worried about the hunt. He says he is, but
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: he ain't worried about the hunt. He's worried about getting
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: out of there. So the early lever guy is the
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: last one that I got to wrap it up guys. So,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: like I said, Stereotypes, guys. Oftentimes, hey, this is supposed
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: to be a fun, a light episode right here. Keep
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: it fun. But these are duck camp stereotypes that through
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the years I've got to see these people. I've been
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: this person. You've been this person. Or we all know
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: these people. And this episode is to say, hey, which
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: one are you? Or who do you know? We can
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of fun. We can send this
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: episode to some of our buddies that we hunt with.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: We can kind of call them out on this one.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: And that's why I thought this would be fun on
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: this episode, because when I look back at it, I
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: see so much of myself coming up through the years,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: duck hunting in my waterfowl hunting journey, me being a
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: lot of these characters, uh, people that I hunt with
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of these characters and it's fun. And so.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I would tell you all this, guys. If y'all enjoyed
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: this episode, then tag your buddies. Send it to them.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Tell us which one he is or tell him which
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: one he is. Even better, that'd be even funnier. And
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: then get those comments rolling. Let me know what y'all think.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: And be honest. Which one is you? I'll ask you that.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Which one is you of all these type of people
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: that I talked about in this episode? Because I know
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I'm a lot of them. I have been a lot
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: of them. I'm still a lot of them, to be
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: honest with y'all, on many of them. So, hey, it's
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: all for fun. It's why we love doing what we
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: do so much. And I think we can all agree
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: it's all out of fun and love if we're sharing
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: it and we're talking about our buddies in this manner.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: And we can kind of sit back and not always
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: take it so serious. Because nowadays, look, with social media,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: so many people want to argue with you over your beliefs,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: even in waterfowl hunting, when it comes to why things
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: are like they are. Or if it was good, well,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: it was because you did this. Or if it was bad,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: it's because of this. Everybody, they want to be so
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: divided sometimes when it comes to this stuff. Really, we're
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: all in it for the same reason like I talked
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: about at the end of the day, right? We all
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: love the pursuit of waterfowl. At the end of the day,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I figured why not lighten the load a little bit?
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Let's have a little bit of fun. Let's laugh at ourselves.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Let's laugh at our buddies and call it what it is,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: but it's all really in good fun, guys. If y'all
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: enjoyed this episode, I really would appreciate it if y'all
