[Willie Robertson]

Because of the talent.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh.

[Willie Robertson]

Because of the. How talented it it. It's got. Okay. It makes you think that.

[Phil Robertson]

I wish we could figure out how to script Duck Hunt.

[Willie Robertson]

Yes.

[Phil Robertson]

Like, if I just woke up, knew we was about to go smash, or if I knew we weren't going to kill none, I stayed well.

[Si Robertson]

And I'll script Duck Hunt.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm gonna tell y'all side could. Well, yeah, you can train ducks, and.

[Si Robertson]

Then as soon as you train them, they're dead. Yeah, that'd be a lot of work.

[Jase Robertson]

Besides, not a gambler. He signed and bet on sports or anything. No, he's not. I'm telling you. We went to the horse track with a bunch a group of friends where sai had to take a picture with a horse.

[Phil Robertson]

Excuse me.

[Jase Robertson]

And the Super Derby.

[Phil Robertson]

I have played poker with Cy Roberts. He is in fact gambling.

[Jase Robertson]

No, sir.

[Phil Robertson]

He will call for one car. Yeah, well, about this.

[Jase Robertson]

I'll say never on sports. I've never seen you bet or gamble on anything on sports.

[Willie Robertson]

Go. Right.

[Jase Robertson]

This is why I say that. Because when we went to the horse races and you said. I said Sigh. Which horse you want to bet? You said, I ain't wasting that on them ponies. But he said, here's $2, go bet the biggest. But the horse with the biggest butt, go put the money on it. He come in dead last. I said, so you lose. He's like, yep, I'm done.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, well, that's fine. See, that was fun, though, because you had a story to tell. About the only time I've been to horse races, I bet on a horse as a Belmont Stakes over. I was there with Under Armour back in the day when we were all working together on stuff.

[Si Robertson]

I've always wanted to go to a horse race.

[Phil Robertson]

And I bet on a horse called Ten Bears. Of course, you know, yeah, I had to. And I won. I want a little bit money on him, but not. I was like, that is the end of my horse betting career.

[Jase Robertson]

Ten Bears.

[Phil Robertson]

I found a horse. Yeah. Named Ten Bears.

[Jase Robertson]

And I found a horse named Bamboozled and lost.

[Phil Robertson]

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

You don't need to be playing.

[Willie Robertson]

You don't need to be sitting down at the table. Poker table.

[Phil Robertson]

Now, money means something to you if you're going to your family.

[Jase Robertson]

If you take your wife, can't do that. And he this in his book, if you take your wife out you go and to the movies, out to eat. You're going to spend $100.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, absolutely.

[Jase Robertson]

You know, and you might want to take that money and do something else.

[Si Robertson]

With what movie theater are y'all going to that? It's only $100.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, they go to the midday matinee cuz they ain't got much going on.

[Si Robertson]

Yes.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, they on that 1pm movie.

[Si Robertson]

Movies, you know, they got the lights on.

[Si Robertson]

Then I had to get like a fifth job.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, job. No, it's fine, man.

[Si Robertson]

You're right, though. If you. If you can't take it and set.

[Phil Robertson]

It on fire, you don't need to be messing with it.

[Si Robertson]

Pretend it's a firework.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Boom.

[Si Robertson]

That was cool. Now you ain't got no money and what you bought exploded.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, there's nothing worse than watching somebody play poker that shouldn't be there.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, I disagree, sir. Those are the most fun people no, no, no. To quote.

[Willie Robertson]

To quote Johnny, they have no chance of winning.

[Phil Robertson]

I was with this guy in Las.

[Jase Robertson]

Vegas, and we were on to hear.

[Phil Robertson]

That we were with a friend who makes significantly more money than us.

[Si Robertson]

He was what?

[Phil Robertson]

We play a roulette. Roulette, yeah. Playing roulette. They were. They were playing. Me and John D. Were just there.

[Si Robertson]

I was watching.

[Phil Robertson]

And Johnny D. Looked at him and said, you know what? Watching people who's got, like, a house note on the line gamble is way more fun than watching you gamble.

[Si Robertson]

It was wild.

[Phil Robertson]

He does well for himself, and he did well on the roulette. Well, some way more than me. Yeah. He walked away with more money. And he started there with. And me and Johnny D sat there and watched him. I.

[Si Robertson]

It was like watching Drew Brees. I was just cheering him on.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

But your gut was a little bit sick thinking about all that money.

[Phil Robertson]

No.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no. I would have pooped my pants if that was my money. I'd be. I'd be like, well, let me go back to the grindstone for the next six months.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

When we went, worms ain't going to sell themselves.

[Willie Robertson]

I just wasted a year's salary.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Nope.

We went to the Golden Moose Awards in Vegas. Remember all that?

[Si Robertson]

I remember the Moose.

[Jase Robertson]

And so when, when it was over, Sai went to play at the poker table and he was, he sat down at the table with some really, really good players. And I walked by and looked at him. One of them had made the final table at the World Series of Poker sitting right beside Sigh. I was like, sigh, you in over your head. And he was winning. Oh, yeah, I was winning.

[Phil Robertson]

That's because they all play by a certain set of rules.

[Si Robertson]

They don't know how to play with that guy.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, that's why, that's. They have a hard time with me.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, yeah, because everything you do defies logic and sense.

[Si Robertson]

Break the mold, baby.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, it's actually genius if you're sitting around with a bunch of people that do it and you know that that's how they're going to play. I was the easiest guy ever to beat. If you were willing to gamble. Because I'm going to play by the book now. If you want to gamble against me, I like my chance in the long run, I'm going to come out ahead.

[Si Robertson]

I'm here for a short period of.

[Phil Robertson]

Time, but for a short term victory, you could get me like. But I'm still Going to be there at the end of the night. But. But I play so tight that I. I never made any money playing poker. Like, I just. I'd be pretty much even. I, like, every. Every night I would. I would. I would be somewhere within $20 or where I started. Yeah. It's just wild, man, because I just. I work too hard for that crap, man. I don't. I don't go in bad now. I don't go in bad.

[Si Robertson]

The price of eggs is too much to be burning money.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Now they just play bingo. Over.

[Si Robertson]

So play bingo.

[Phil Robertson]

So that's.

[Willie Robertson]

That's why the pros, they've got a. I don't even know what. How to say it.

[Si Robertson]

They're smarter than the rest of us.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, really good at math, too, but they're playing. They're playing the numbers. Okay.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, they're good at math. Yeah, they're playing really good at math.

[Willie Robertson]

Because they do stuff. Okay. And like, they make. I've been watching them here lately.

[Si Robertson]

Oh. Studying.

[Jase Robertson]

They make 201.

[Willie Robertson]

They make calls that they should not make.

[Jase Robertson]

In other words, they throw away money for information.

[Willie Robertson]

No, no, because that's the way they play. Okay. They bluff, the pros. They bluff so much that sometimes you look at them. Tell me, why did he call that?

[Phil Robertson]

That's because you can see the cards.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, no, I'm serious, though.

[Phil Robertson]

Poker, easy when you can see the cards.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, all of them play the same way, but not you. Because they make calls that they should not make.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, now, that sounds like you.

[Willie Robertson]

They know they're beat, but they get bluffed so much that they. They call.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, now that sounds exactly like.

[Jase Robertson]

And look. Sigh. If he didn't have to catch a plane that night, I mean, we had to get out of there. I think he could have broke the table because he was up. He had so many chips in front of him. I said, sigh. We got to get a plane. Nope, nope, nope. I said sigh, no, plane ain't going to wait.

[Willie Robertson]

Look, I've played. I've played in Oklahoma and I've never lost up there.

[Si Robertson]

You hear me? Oklahoma.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm serious. I always win in Oklahoma.

[Jase Robertson]

Tournaments to Oklahoma.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, just so we're clear, just so we're clear, you do pretty well for yourself here in Louisiana, Astro. You play a different kind of poker here, but the gamble's been pretty solid. Well, America's favorite uncle.

[Si Robertson]

Okay, I have a deck of cards.

[Willie Robertson]

Yo. I have one problem. If I will play to win, I'll win. But if I get where I'm having Fun.

[Jase Robertson]

Forget about it.

[Willie Robertson]

I fix to lose all my money.

[Jase Robertson]

Especially if Willie's at the table.

[Willie Robertson]

Cause I'm having too much fun. I fix lose it.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah. Willie will go in bad.

[Willie Robertson]

Hold on. No, no. I enjoy playing with Willie because me and Willie are going. We're going to get it all.

[Si Robertson]

Nobody else at the table.

[Willie Robertson]

No, no. Me and him are going to have all our money in the pot. Y'all have knocked out.

[Si Robertson]

We're all sad.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Willie's like.

[Willie Robertson]

And normally when I walk away, I'm going to have all the money in my pocket.

[Jase Robertson]

Hey, the last time we played at Willie's, I wouldn't. The last time we played, there were some people there I didn't know, very wealthy people. And I looked. I told sign the way over there. I said, look, this is more money. This is more money than I'm used to playing for. So you aren't going to catch me playing hardly any hands. I played like Martin. I mean, if I didn't have a super hand, I didn't even call the blind what we.

[Willie Robertson]

We named it turkey poker. The boy was behind the log. And when he. When he played, he would come up with brass knuckles, hit you in the nose and then go back down.

[Jase Robertson]

That's a good. Pretty much what I description.

[Willie Robertson]

And look, he cash $3,800 that night. I cast 36 on.

[Phil Robertson]

The man's memory is incredible.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no, no.

[Jase Robertson]

And the last hand of the night was the funniest because it was Willie and sigh. And Willie had a bunch of IOUs that Cy was.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, no. He had. Look, we had one of them yellow tablets. The long one yellow. And look, I had a stack. I mean, I stacked. So look, last hand, I pick up my cards.

[Jase Robertson]

I made the most money really.

[Willie Robertson]

I pick up my cards and guess what I got. Pocket sixes. I looked at Willie watch them. When he looks at his cards. He's got something like ace king or ace queen. I know that's what he's got. It's paint.

[Si Robertson]

You can see it in his face.

[Willie Robertson]

Hold on. I can see it when he does. So look, we have already. Here's what has happened for the night. Corey had been in Walmart and they had domino's on sale. So she had bought like 28 packages packs of dominoes. Well, we had run out of chips. So look, we busted all 28 of them dominoes. And we had them was $100 apiece. And me and Willie both. We probably had all, you know, 12 packs of dominoes and the chips. So look, I'M looking, y'all, y'all. He's looking at his hand. I said, well, it's on you. What you gonna open, you know? So look, he just grabs a double handful of dominoes and said, yeah, I open for this, you know? And I said, you better be careful. You're gonna lose every bit before this hand's over, you know? So look, by the end of the river, okay, we've got everything. All our dominoes, all of our chips in the pot.

[Si Robertson]

Y'all could go to Disney World instead of this.

[Willie Robertson]

And I say, okay, Woody, hey, you made the bet. And I call you. We're all in. Yo, show me your cards. I've called you. Well, he's sitting over rubbing his car, which I know I got him beat. I finally said, I got a pair of sixes. Slide it all over here, boys.

[Si Robertson]

Hope you want enough to slide me that little skillet.

[Willie Robertson]

He turned the table upside down.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

And threw ace, queen down. I said, that's what I thought.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, there you go. Take that.

[Willie Robertson]

Break that, boys.

[Si Robertson]

That's wild.

[Phil Robertson]

Boy's wild.

[Jase Robertson]

It is amazing how Psy can remember in detail all the hands.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, his memory is crazy, man. It's that, man. If it goes in that brain one time, now, some distorted view of it may come out, but most of it's right.

[Jase Robertson]

Well over the years. Gotta make it interesting, spice it up a little bit.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, storytelling, baby. Storytelling.

[Willie Robertson]

One time I would like to actually.

[Si Robertson]

Go, that's a good work, Martin.

[Willie Robertson]

And play against the pros.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, you would break them, you know.

[Willie Robertson]

And I think I would win because, hey, I'm not. I'm not going. I'm not going to fold when. When they make the big bet.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, I know you enjoy it, but I just don't think losing 20 GS is very fun. Like, that's how much you want to sit down.

[Willie Robertson]

You going negative.

[Jase Robertson]

He's saying if you got it, if you buy into the big game.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, no, I'm just saying, y'all, as soon as you put it there, you gotta act like it ain't there. I just don't see why that's fun.

[Willie Robertson]

I don't have no problem with that.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, I know I don't have a.

[Willie Robertson]

Problem with that, boy.

[Phil Robertson]

I do. But you're 70. What? 77?

[Willie Robertson]

No, I don't have it.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, I see why. Like, I get to 77. That probably ain't that big of a deal either.

[Phil Robertson]

He got boat money.

[Si Robertson]

Got boat. I'm on a Mississippi river sucker.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, yeah. I'm. I'm docked down here off a Bourbon Street.

[Jase Robertson]

Finally there.

[Si Robertson]

I'm going somewhere nicer. What would you do if you had $150 million right now, this very moment? What would you do? Sigh.

[Willie Robertson]

I play poker. Somewhere.

[Si Robertson]

This podcast be over.

[Willie Robertson]

I would be in a cash game of cash game buddy.

[Phil Robertson]

I'd go tote his luggage.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm telling you.

[Phil Robertson]

Hopefully I get a little tip money.

[Jase Robertson]

Don't count on it.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, I'd have. I'd have it. I'd have his little travel my pillow right here. Saying what you need, big dog.

[Jase Robertson]

Martin, he can't. Martin can't hang.

[Willie Robertson]

He.

[Jase Robertson]

He. He only. He went with you that one time. I was like, martin, sit besides I and take care of him. Let me go back there and rest.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, I fell for it once. I rode up front.

[Jase Robertson]

And on the way back, he said, don't even think about it.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, you can have that, son.

[Si Robertson]

Besides assistant I was Willie's just. I can do anything.

[Phil Robertson]

Ain't that the truth. You still could be like, it's wild, man.

[Si Robertson]

I could. I could go with sigh. 150 million. What you getting?

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, me?

[Jase Robertson]

150. I don't know what. I don't know what I'm doing. If I have 150 million, would we know?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I would find out. Yeah, you wouldn't know if I know.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm not doing anything illegal.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, y'all know. Y'all know if I did because I slide it to the people that I like and care about.

[Jase Robertson]

I would, I would.

[Phil Robertson]

How much you need? Like, what gets you to zero? What? I'm just saying, what gets you to zero on the books, like, where you don't owe nobody nothing, and I gave you that. Here you go.

[Si Robertson]

Let me know first. I go buy a few things.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, that's fine. Yeah. If you get a sniff of it, go try it. I still bail you out. I don't care. But like, I'm just saying that's the kind of stuff I mean, because that's what I do.

[Jase Robertson]

I also like, that's what I did.

[Phil Robertson]

With the first time we got any Duck Dynasty money. I went and made sure I didn't know nobody nothing. I was like, hey, pay that truck off. Like, get that done. I ain't ever owned a truck in my life. The bank owned everyone.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, no.

[Phil Robertson]

You know, I ain't a big Dave.

[Si Robertson]

Ramsey guy, but I agree.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, no, you just get to where you don't owe nobody nothing. If you can help some of your friends out in that same predicament, that's cool, man.

[Si Robertson]

And then $150 million, though, there'd be some new owner that was one of the. That was going to work every day.

[Willie Robertson]

That was one of the nice things about the show because I Gave it to some good, good charity.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. I know you. You gave a lot of the kids. The kids don't know it, and they never saw a better uncle Sigh. But you gave it to children, and you gave it to folks that serve, and that's.

[Willie Robertson]

I gave it to the vets. Another part of that was okay is I got to go to a lot of charities and a lot of events.

[Phil Robertson]

You got to see lives change, man.

[Willie Robertson]

And then I seen people. People that have a lot of money.

[Phil Robertson]

My favorite ones are the ones that want to prove they're the wealthiest one in the room because, like, we're the entertainment at a lot of those things.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh.

[Phil Robertson]

So, like, even though we're the entertainment, we don't even make, like, the top 100 list of the people in there.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

But we're there to shake hands and. Because people think we're cool. And then I go there and try to identify which one thinks he's the richest and make sure that we goad him into spending more of it.

[Si Robertson]

Well, you just got. Who's got the biggest boat.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. May want ride on it one day, you know, but there's.

[Willie Robertson]

There's some people that. You saw it. Big hearts.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

And big bank accounts.

[Phil Robertson]

What are people Big.

[Willie Robertson]

They give it away.

[Phil Robertson]

There's people that realize at the end of the day, there's a beautiful thing about life when you get to this point.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

That you had nothing to do with success.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

It wasn't about you. It never was about you.

[Willie Robertson]

Really. Never about you.

[Phil Robertson]

It was never about you. Which is why you. You've never. I don't. I mean, how long we've been doing this? I never brought this up.

[Si Robertson]

490.

[Phil Robertson]

Nobody ever knew how much money that man gave away. I did, kind of, because I saw some of the things, but, like, he didn't walk around bragging about I did this, I did that. You just be hard to even.

[Willie Robertson]

Always told them where it came from.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

But that's the ones you got to watch for me. That's the ones you got. Watch those ones that tell you where it come from. I like that's people you got Watch the one that think it's about them because you know what you watch him do? Go broke. Well, every time.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, I look every. Well, yeah, because their. Their focus is wrong.

[Phil Robertson]

Amen, buddy. Ain't no humility in not focus is wrong.

[Willie Robertson]

They thought it was them, and it never was. It was never you.

[Phil Robertson]

Never you, buddy.

[Jase Robertson]

And I never told. I never told anybody that I've seen Cy putting million Dollar checks in this front pocket and get on a plane. And I said, put that check up sign. He was like, I'd be all right. What if you lose it? They'll write me another one. Imagine, you know, back in the day when that kind of stuff was happening. I was just. I was blown away by everything that was going on.

[Phil Robertson]

But they couldn't put it in them britches. They were so tight.

[Jase Robertson]

Now, my question to you is, what was the hardest thing about making that money and the fame that came along with it? What was the hardest?

[Si Robertson]

You don't want to be rich and famous. You want to be rich.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, but fame part sucks.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

It wasn't hard because Al, Phil's oldest son, had called us together when the show went, you know, like it did. And he said, hey, since this has become such a big thing, the evil one's going to come after us. He said, so, hey, look, everybody get ready to clear their head and keep a. Keep a. You know, don't go off the reservation on us.

[Phil Robertson]

I tell everybody that. I said, I get. I get. Like, after Doug Dynasty, I got. And look, I wasn't on. Crumbs were good, right? Like, yeah, I. I lived a very good life on their crumbs. Thank you for that, by the way. Still am.

[Si Robertson]

I was just picking up their crumbs for them. Phil were just walking around like, sigh. You forgot this crumb.

[Willie Robertson]

Really?

[Phil Robertson]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

Hold on.

[Phil Robertson]

But what. But I realized in there, even in that I realized how these boys, like athletes and stuff like that, get screwed up. Because anything I wanted or desired at that time.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, no. Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

Was all an iPhone away. I mean, name it, like, legit. Name it what you want. What. What sinful desire you want. It'll show up here, like. So I get it now, where. If you're not grounded in that stuff.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, see, that's what was so good about it. Okay? Because, you know, God, in his infinite.

[Phil Robertson]

Wisdom, didn't let you do that at 25.

[Willie Robertson]

Didn't do that. Hey, trust me when I tell you.

[Jase Robertson]

He really would be uncle size.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, no, no. Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

No, that thing wouldn't be tmz. It'd be S I Z.

[Willie Robertson]

Because I would have wasted it all.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, I get it.

[Jase Robertson]

Didn't you have an uncle that made it pretty big?

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, no, no. Yeah, him and his brothers.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh. In oil.

[Willie Robertson]

In oil. They saved up, like, 10, you know, and this is working, people. Okay. They saved up, like, $10,000 in Wildcat, and it blew the top of the derrick out. You know, they hit. Well, they turned them into instant millionaires. Now you got to think about this poor country boys that hit it big and it turned them into millionaires. Didn't know what to do with it.

[Phil Robertson]

[Phil Robertson]

Ask you a quick question.

[Jase Robertson]

So, didn't know if y'all seen the.

[Phil Robertson]

Show on prime, the Beast Games.

[Jase Robertson]

Didn't know if y'all noticed that the duck commander glasses are shining on one of the guys. It's in the contest. He's a believer. So when you're watching it, if you think you know who I'm talking about.

[Phil Robertson]

Also, I'm calling out from Georgia. All right, thanks.

[Si Robertson]

I don't know.

[Jase Robertson]

I saw the Beast Games. It was good. It's on Prime.

[Si Robertson]

People are stupid. I watched it until people started turning down a million dollars for people they didn't know. I said no. Scripted, not real. No way. They were like, oh, I'm such a good guy. I have somebody offered me a million dollars. I'd kick Martin in the butt cheeks.

[Phil Robertson]

I'd let you.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. And they're like, oh, no, we got to let everybody.

[Jase Robertson]

I didn't see the part where, where he said, what happened? They had.

[Si Robertson]

Somebody was wearing battle vision.

[Phil Robertson]

A duck commander. I think that commander glasses. Remember the ones we had made through who was that nouveau or something like that? We had them for forever.

[Si Robertson]

I don't know.

[Phil Robertson]

That's interesting.

[Si Robertson]

The last episode, some old boy that was like, I'm going to turn down the million dollars. He.

[Jase Robertson]

It's a game show. Take the money.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. And then he got voted off. And then people told him he was a bad person. And then the guy that was telling this bad person went and took like $750,000 for himself. And I was like, yeah, there ain't no way this real tv because these people are.

[Jase Robertson]

And he stayed up all night crying.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he got. He was so sad that he did it. He's like, I couldn't help it.

[Phil Robertson]

[Si Robertson]

Little bigger than a duck. Yeah, but imagine if they were bears and there was a hundred of them.

[Phil Robertson]

That's what I'm saying. Give me one on one. Anytime I got the chance. Let me have one on one because.

[Jase Robertson]

You don't fight fair.

[Si Robertson]

Well, man, afraid of no duck either. I don't care how big it is.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, no, I'll take my chances. One on one. One versus 100. You, you, you, you in a bind. There's a hundred of them. Even if you get the first 90, you still got 10 more. Yeah, thank you.

[Si Robertson]

I'm. I'm taking on the big duck and I'm gonna stab him right with one.

[Willie Robertson]

On one in the throat.

[Si Robertson]

All you need is one like one smooth stone in the correct spot. You can take down a giant.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, there's story about that. Yeah, look it up in a book and. Okay, First Corinthians. Hey guys, my name's Denver and I'm from the Panhandle, Florida first why are you not from Colorado? Sorry, I meant to pause that a lot.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, guys, my name's Denver and I'm from the Panhandle, Florida. First of all, Hunter, I just want to say there's nothing wrong with driving a long way to get to a nice movie theater. Anyway, my question's for everyone.

[Si Robertson]

Hunter picked this.

[Jase Robertson]

If you're going to go on a.

[Phil Robertson]

Vacation or something, how far is too far to drive? And at what point do you just fly? I'm your podcast and you'll have a great day.

[Si Robertson]

Yes, this is a great question because I'm currently in an argument with my entire family that Colorado Springs is too far to drive.

[Jase Robertson]

How far is it too far?

[Phil Robertson]

I can say with the boys. I don't want to drive a. I don't want to be in a car more than a day. Right? Like a day. I'm not saying 24 hours, but like, I don't want to have to wake up. I want to spend night somewhere and wake up and keep driving.

[Si Robertson]

I like driving to Monroe with my kids.

[Phil Robertson]

Us right now, it's like eight hours. So, like Chattanooga, Nashville, we can do that, no problem. Very little issue. But over that, we about to jump on a bird. Get there now.

[Si Robertson]

What's the furthest vacation you've ever driven to?

[Willie Robertson]

Don't know.

[Si Robertson]

Don't.

[Phil Robertson]

I ain't want to really vacate now.

[Jase Robertson]

Look for a hunting trip. Yeah, he'll drive away.

[Willie Robertson]

Vacation man.

[Si Robertson]

What's the furthest you ever driven to hunt an anim?

[Willie Robertson]

Idaho to South Texas.

[Phil Robertson]

Now, you drove to Idaho, didn't you, back in the day when. When everybody.

[Si Robertson]

Idaho.

[Phil Robertson]

They didn't. We had the money to fly then don't go. Well, I mean, but ducks are there.

[Si Robertson]

Ducks are here, too.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, you didn't make that one.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay, I didn't make it. That's not that. When y'all was on Columbia River.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, all that stuff. Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I drove my kids to Disney World, you know, when they were younger. And that's too far.

[Si Robertson]

I told my kids that is getting a plane if we're going to Disney World.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that's a long way. We stopped in Pensacola.

[Phil Robertson]

If you guys. If you got Disney money, you got.

[Jase Robertson]

A long way to drive.

[Si Robertson]

That's what I'm saying. We gonna spend that extra.

[Willie Robertson]

[Phil Robertson]

Eight hours. Is.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

[Si Robertson]

Number My mom and brother in law have decided this summer when we go see Uncle Mac and get some of them delicious biscuits. And I can't wait.

[Phil Robertson]

Y'all headed to the North Pole?

[Si Robertson]

We headed. We're going to see Santa Claus. Uncle Mac.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, but he.

[Si Robertson]

They want to rent a 15 passenger van. I get anxiety thinking about it.

[Phil Robertson]

And then tell them you made them there.

[Si Robertson]

I'm thinking about it. Just take a Suburban.

[Jase Robertson]

You should follow behind.

[Si Robertson]

And then they go and put my. And I'm like, I'm cool with Jen and Drew's kids. They don't even talk when I ask them questions. But my kids. Have you met him in a car to Colorado Springs. And then we're gonna get to Colorado Springs and be like, all right, now head up the mountain another hour.

[Willie Robertson]

How long will drive is that?

[Si Robertson]

Let's look. I bet it's Mac and Mary live in Divide, Colorado. We're gonna start here at 117 Kings Lane, which. That's shaving off.

[Phil Robertson]

10 minutes, 13 hours.

[Si Robertson]

I'm guessing 15 hours and 53.

[Jase Robertson]

16 hours.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, that's an hour per person. That's.

[Jase Robertson]

That's too far.

[Si Robertson]

And I'm like, have none of y'all been to the Dallas Fort Worth airport?

[Phil Robertson]

They got fw.

[Si Robertson]

They got these shrimp in there that they wrap in bacon and cook to perfection. Yeah, we can stop and have one. Yeah, I don't know what the deal is there anyways.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, you just need. Is Big Dave going, y'all? That's what I.

[Si Robertson]

Big day vacates as much as sigh.

[Phil Robertson]

So you get Big Dave to say, I need Johnny D. To stay one day and help me. And then you say, I'll fly up and catch. I'll catch up with you.

[Si Robertson]

Know what my wife would. Would never do again if I was about to say do to me? But no, that ain't gonna happen. I'm out sleeping outside again. I never slept outside on purpose, but.

[Phil Robertson]

There were some long nights.

[Si Robertson]

Harding University was a weird place anyways. They locked the doors on you. Hey, here's a Bible verse.

[Phil Robertson]

Send it home.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I was saying when you were talking about staying grounded and stuff, a Bible verse hit me. And it was one of my papa's favorites because he once pulled a move on the government. That when they said that he owed him taxes, but they actually owed him taxes. And he went on the news to talk about it because he got called out in the. He got called out by the news.

[Phil Robertson]

That, oh, Howard Brothers and stuff.

[Si Robertson]

Howard Brothers. Owed money. And so my papa went on the news with receipts, and the actual story was, nope, y'all owe me money. And then he said, so that's it. There you go. Proverbs 26, 27. He walked off. Al tells this story, and I was like, what's Proverbs 26, 27? Whoever digs a pit will fall into it. If someone rolls a stone, it'll roll back on them.

[Phil Robertson]

There you go. There you go, love.

[Jase Robertson]

That's a good one.

[Phil Robertson]

We'll see y'all next time. Right here in duck call room.

[Willie Robertson]

We're.
