[Willie Robertson]

Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. And back by popular Demand, Duck Commander's newest employee, Cade is joining us again.

[Jase Robertson]

Popular Demand.

[Willie Robertson]

We had a lot of people ask for you to come back, Kate. They said they loved you. You fit right in all the things. Like they. They were actually giving us a attaboy for doing our homework on finding a good employee.

[Jase Robertson]

What part of Florida are you from?

[Cade Robertson]

North Florida. So from Lake City Lake.

[Jase Robertson]

Straight out of Lake City, Florida. Cade's back in the house.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Hey. It was so crazy. We even had a hand call in here and leave a voicemail for you or something. He said he was your buddy or something. Or said, oh, Lord. He said that he was gonna do that. He just confirmed all the stuff about the alligators on the football field and all them you was telling.

[Cade Robertson]

So I think there might be a few of them now that will say they're my buddy.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, so maybe we have.

[Cade Robertson]

Might not even know.

[Willie Robertson]

We may have a poser. How are things, man? How are things been since we had you on here last? You adjusted to life in north Louisiana, all right?

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, yeah, yeah, it's been great.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Travis Matthews. Travis.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, Lord. Yeah, I know him. He's actually one of my good running around buddies.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, see, there you go. I know.

[Jase Robertson]

Running around buddy.

[Willie Robertson]

Running around buddy. So that. Is that like a drinking buddy or.

[Cade Robertson]

No, not that. But I was just curious.

[Willie Robertson]

But now, how. How are things here? You. You. You like it all?

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, yeah, I've been. I've been enjoying it quite a bit. Been. Been adjusting really well.

[Willie Robertson]

Good.

[Cade Robertson]

Like I said, I ain't. I ain't met nobody around here yet. I was, you know, didn't like I.

[Willie Robertson]

Introduced you to a couple. Well, what you laugh?

[Jase Robertson]

How much time you got? 10 minutes. We can find something okay. No, I'm just kidding.

[Si Robertson]

Somebody by.

[Jase Robertson]

So how's the. I forget what. Did we talk about your love life here in Louisiana last time?

[Cade Robertson]

Oh no.

[Jase Robertson]

Well then we will this time. It's what I like diving into. Well. Well, how old are you?

[Cade Robertson]

I'm 19.

[Jase Robertson]

19. Are you meeting any young 19 year old? I don't know what that's like.

[Cade Robertson]

No, not really.

[Jase Robertson]

Just hanging out with Stone?

[Cade Robertson]

Well, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay. Not a great way to meet people.

[Willie Robertson]

He doesn't really have a lot of influx.

[Si Robertson]

I think someone says you play the guitar, right?

[Cade Robertson]

Yes, sir.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, he does.

[Si Robertson]

You got a band?

[Cade Robertson]

I did, yes. Well, I still do. I'll go back home and play with them some when I can, but yeah, real good band too. Like we've been. Well, we've only been together about a year but I mean it's. I pulled from a lot of different bands and people I've met over the years playing and it's. It's good all star band.

[Si Robertson]

I got about four guitars but I learned how to play them yet.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, if you need a good. If you need a new front man. Sigh. Too busy. Oh yeah, he's done it.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, he is the front man.

[Willie Robertson]

That's what I'm saying.

[Si Robertson]

I actually have. And went on the road and had a blast doing it.

[Cade Robertson]

Yes sir.

[Si Robertson]

But it's a young man's game.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh yes sir.

[Jase Robertson]

Made a pretty good chunk.

[Si Robertson]

I had a lot of fun doing it. Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

That's all that matters, right? At your age especially.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, because then, hey, we wrote what, six songs? Me and the band members, you know, Bridget Tatum was one of the band members. Okay. My daughter in law, Marsha was the other one know. And then I was, you know, vocals only since I couldn't learn how to play the stupid guitar.

[Cade Robertson]

Yes, sir.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, he's eye candy.

[Si Robertson]

No, that's just something you can sing. There's some things God is not going to give me. Guitar playing is one of them and. And that's probably for the best.

[Willie Robertson]

All right.

[Cade Robertson]

Well the hardest thing about guitar is the beginning of it. So once you get past that stage, it's, it's.

[Si Robertson]

Well see, that's what was my problem was.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh yes sir.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah, it gets a lot of people.

[Si Robertson]

I never could get. I. I couldn't get any progress.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, your boy. Oh, what's his name. Oh, Travis gave you the. Well no, no, he gave our hero cord buddy thing.

[Si Robertson]

Idiot proof. And no, that ain't don't work with me. Okay, so what is that thing called?

[Jase Robertson]

The cord buddy? I Remember him where you just press.

[Si Robertson]

Put it on your guitar and then you mash the colors.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, okay. Yes.

[Si Robertson]

Okay. So you know, for G chord, C chord, all that.

[Cade Robertson]

Right.

[Si Robertson]

You know, and I actually he come up here with his band and we fooled around and played a little music at Willie's restaurant when he had it. And I was, you know, they. They done a video of me playing it.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, yes.

[Si Robertson]

And he said, hey. He said, oh, you, you should be. You should be playing. He said, you did great that night. You know, you was right with us, you know, the guy that was playing. And I said, well, I didn't feel like I was. He said, well, hey, trust me when I tell you. We went and watched it very carefully. He said, you was right there with the guy that was playing for real. So I just said, well, it didn't sink in. Maybe it's like baptizers, some of them don't take. Guitar playing didn't take with me.

[Willie Robertson]

Sometimes you get baptized by water. Sometimes you get baptized by the spirit.

[Si Robertson]

Right.

[Jase Robertson]

Sometimes you just get wet.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Sometimes you just keep get wet. You know, nothing really happened. You didn't change.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, Lord.

[Jase Robertson]

Hey, speaking of people that play the guitar, do you watch American Idol?

[Si Robertson]

Yes, I. You know what? That's what always gets me. Okay. When I watch somebody live on. On the stage.

[Jase Robertson]

Good news for you too.

[Si Robertson]

No, no. Because, hey, most of the time. Okay. And when. When they had told me this, I kind of looked. Where are they lying? There's thousands of songs you can play. Okay. And you only use the top four frets. Okay. You got to think about that. You don't even have to move. You're just on them four. Well, you got four fingers. But it's just. No, it's amazing that I watch them on. Live on stage. Hey, the only time they go down the guitar, if they want to go higher. Okay.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

I don't know.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Because most of them, if you just play on the first four frets, it's low.

[Cade Robertson]

Mm. Right. Right.

[Si Robertson]

It's low. You've got to go toward the bottom. Sound hole, right?

[Jase Robertson]

Sound hole.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. But it's just, you know, it's. In a way I've always said, especially when you run upon someone that you asked, do you read music? No. You know, do you understand anything he said? No, I don't. I always said that guitar player is a God given gift. It really is.

[Jase Robertson]

There's some girl from Monroe who can play the sound hole pretty good. She'd made it on American Idol and she's Your age?

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah. So funny. Oh, funny.

[Jase Robertson]

He's excited.

[Cade Robertson]

Funny thing about her is I'm actually, I'm written to. The house I'm written in is kin to her. To that girl? Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

What girl is this? What's this girl?

[Cade Robertson]

Clara. Yeah. Named Clara, right? Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I was sitting there watching American Idol. Not my choice. I'm gonna be honest. It was Allison's choice. And all of a sudden it said Monroe, Louisiana, humongous on the screen. And they're over at the Flying Tiger and she's singing songs. Did you happen to look at the.

[Willie Robertson]

Credits of that episode?

[Si Robertson]

Well, what's the young lady's name that lives.

[Willie Robertson]

Hold on. Hunter. He barely looked up in time to see Monroe, Louisiana. He didn't.

[Jase Robertson]

What was in the were that.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, I, I, I paid for that episode.

[Jase Robertson]

Here.

[Willie Robertson]

So you knew and you didn't tell us?

[Jase Robertson]

I signed an NDA. That's a good point.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, American Idol, rest assured, your boy kept it because now he's. Now he's smiling, telling us he worked on we were this clown every day. Look. NDAs go out the door when you walk in this door. Well, I can't exactly say it.

[Jase Robertson]

That's crazy. Well, if you run into that girl, I sent her a message and said, hey, if you want to come talk to Uncle Sa about America, feel free to.

[Willie Robertson]

I, I have her dad's number.

[Jase Robertson]

I know her dad. I was like, I recognize that guy. And she, she. Well, she ghosted me. I got no response. So if, well, you come on the.

[Willie Robertson]

Show, you're married with children, so good for her. For ghost.

[Jase Robertson]

Hold on. But I said, uncle sigh.

[Willie Robertson]

I understand, but how many she just made on American Auto? How many probably got? How many creeps you think went in there? You sure are pretty.

[Cade Robertson]

I mean, like I said, my, my landlords say they know her akin to her. All I gotta do is call them. They'll probably get older too.

[Willie Robertson]

Say, look at me.

[Jase Robertson]

But you can't do that. You're looking for a date, but I'm not.

[Cade Robertson]

No. No, not at all.

[Si Robertson]

He said no.

[Willie Robertson]

Why not?

[Cade Robertson]

Well, I think she's married.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, really?

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

That checks out. She's from Monroe. 19 and married. Those all add up.

[Willie Robertson]

Church cry.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't know.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, she can't be. Church crash. She playing music. I keep you out.

[Jase Robertson]

She can sing. Anyway. I found it interesting.

[Willie Robertson]

She's okay.

[Jase Robertson]

She's like, singing at Enoch, singing at all the places I know.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, she. Look, I don't even know who y'all talking about, so.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, she's a Fine little thing.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, okay. Well, she's 22, so that's not weird.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't.

[Willie Robertson]

No.

[Jase Robertson]

She might not even be that old.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm just guessing that's her. Y'all said 22? Clara, Ray. Congratulations. How'd our buddy Luke treat you?

[Si Robertson]

That's it.

[Jase Robertson]

He was nice. He said, quit playing the guitar, go acapella for a minute.

[Willie Robertson]

Of course he did.

[Jase Robertson]

And then that's when she killed it.

[Willie Robertson]

That's a Luke move. That's a Luke move from way back. We didn't have a Luke in here.

[Jase Robertson]

Luke's kind of a big only reason I will watch American Idol because he cracks me up.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, yeah, that's the same way that's the only reason I watch Buck Commander because Luke Bryant.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, and that whole bunch cracks you up.

[Willie Robertson]

Mark. Hey, you got time to listen to my duck call? I was like, yeah, Luke, I got plenty of time. Listen to your duck call. But the duck call ain't your problem. You're in a hot hole. Just sit there, shut up, and shoot.

[Si Robertson]

I saw that.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, I took. I took the old man fishing, man.

[Jase Robertson]

How was it? Sigh.

[Si Robertson]

It was fun. And look.

[Jase Robertson]

Can y'all.

[Si Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, he's bleeding.

[Si Robertson]

That's. That's from a bass. Yanking that reel against my finger. And it. You know, Blitzer.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. He asked me. He said, you got a band aid in this boat? I said, no, that's actually one thing. I don't care.

[Si Robertson]

I normally tape it up. And I had forgot it.

[Jase Robertson]

That man caught so many fish, his hands are bleeding.

[Si Robertson]

Hold up.

[Willie Robertson]

Between catching the fish and swatting the purple tail walls we was having ourselves.

[Jase Robertson]

And they go on Friday, so I can't even, like, get invited.

[Willie Robertson]

We caught about 60 bass, probably. Maybe more. I don't even know. I lost count.

[Si Robertson]

We didn't count them.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, we didn't care.

[Jase Robertson]

What were you doing when they were doing this? Working, probably.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Sucks y'all.

[Willie Robertson]

Like, we weren't working.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, hey, look.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, here we go.

[Si Robertson]

That's what most people don't understand. Hey, if you go fishing, hey, you get a workout.

[Willie Robertson]

But it sure was fun, man. I giggled and I laughed and I netted.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I always give. It's a commentary when I set the hook on.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, good night. Goodness, you rat.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Willie Robertson]

The best commentary were the ones that get off, though.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no. Look. I lost four of his baits. The bait, the line. Kept your watch, set the hook. I. Yeah, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

I finally figured that out. I finally figured out why you lost my $12 cricket one. My fault now. Well.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, gee, Daddy. 1099 at my shop.

[Willie Robertson]

Well.

[Si Robertson]

Well, we had a cameraman. You had a cameraman that was tying them on.

[Jase Robertson]

Go up.

[Si Robertson]

Because I ain't trying to be that one.

[Willie Robertson]

Now look what happened. And y'all didn't realize it. So I had Jared in there filming. And Jared, once I would get hung up, I just. I would drive the Boat because the wind was whipping pretty good. So I just drive the boat and let Jared get him on. Hung. Well, you know, God bless Jared. He tries.

[Jase Robertson]

Jared, living proof.

[Willie Robertson]

He really does well. He broke the tip off at one rod and I never even knew it. What's wrong? Every time you were zinging out there, you were having that little six pound line hit the end of that broken tip. So you were cutting your own line. Every cat.

[Si Robertson]

Oh.

[Willie Robertson]

So then by the time something would pull back on it.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, he. He broke.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. When I got back, I had a broken rod.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, okay.

[Willie Robertson]

I said, okay, well, this checks out.

[Jase Robertson]

I love fishermen.

[Willie Robertson]

I said this.

[Si Robertson]

Kids and old people, they test stuff up.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

And I love them both.

[Willie Robertson]

But it actually made sense of why you kept breaking your line. I was like, well, there. There we go there.

[Jase Robertson]

So what was the use of just.

[Willie Robertson]

A little spinning rod?

[Jase Robertson]

But it was. How much of it was gone?

[Willie Robertson]

A little bit.

[Si Robertson]

It's a tip.

[Willie Robertson]

A little bit.

[Si Robertson]

Just a tip.

[Jase Robertson]

So the last.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, just the last eye and it was said it was like it was splintered.

[Si Robertson]

So yeah, it left a sharp thing.

[Willie Robertson]

It was fine. So every time sizing that thing out there, he's just cutting his line. He didn't even realize it.

[Jase Robertson]

That happens.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, it's fine. I mean, I didn't care. I was like, I mean, I've had that Rod for probably 10 years. So, like, it. I got my money's worth out of it.

[Jase Robertson]

$8.

[Si Robertson]

I'll put a tip on.

[Willie Robertson]

On it. You ain't got to. That's waste management's problem now. You know, sometimes you just know, like, you know, that has been a good one.

[Jase Robertson]

Thank you.

[Willie Robertson]

Let's just go.

[Jase Robertson]

Like, I need to bring you to inter. I need to everybody go. Listen to what Martin just said.

[Willie Robertson]

I mean, if it would have been the second trip out with it ever. Okay, let's go get it fixed. But I have had a time with that rod. Like, we're good.

[Si Robertson]

That's one of the things that made me mad. I finally get where I have some money and I actually, I'm looking. I want to make my own little combo.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I go in there and hey, there's a reel. And I didn't know it, but hey, it was for saltwater and it's on a rod. So I go in there and I literally had to take my pocket knife and cut the zip ties off. Oh, yeah. I cut the zip tie off of that one.

[Jase Robertson]

Vandalism.

[Si Robertson]

Okay. I get this reel. I go and get. Find the rod I want and Put it on there. Look. And I come to the checkout and I said, you know, I want to buy that, you know. And the guy said, wait a minute, hold it. He said, I gotta go check something. So he walks away with a rod and reel in his hand. And he comes back and he said, where did you get this reel? And I said, I cut it off of that rod over there.

[Jase Robertson]

He was honest about trying to.

[Si Robertson]

I want this reel on this rod. They wouldn't sell it to me. I said, dude, hey, I don't care. Mark it up $200. I want that rod and that reel. Hey, that's the maddest I ever been. Well, you know, hey, I went through everybody but the owner of the store.

[Willie Robertson]

I will. Look, you can go see the owner of the Honey Hole right now. His name's David.

[Si Robertson]

I can make.

[Cade Robertson]

You can cut all the zip ties you want. He probably won't get as mad as.

[Willie Robertson]

Though you can make it.

[Jase Robertson]

Don't do that.

[Si Robertson]

Well, hey. Well, it ain't like I'm trying to steal it, right? Yeah, I just. Hey, I want this reel on this rod.

[Willie Robertson]

But you could go there and make your own combo and I bet they'd give you 10 off.

[Jase Robertson]

No, he got more money. Know what to do with. We tell him.

[Willie Robertson]

We did actually, what you do. Here's the best part. Let him go in there and make his own combo. You give it to him and then you build that combo and put the Cy Roberts special. You sell that?

[Si Robertson]

I am on it.

[Jase Robertson]

Ugly stick pistol grip.

[Willie Robertson]

As good as the Godwin rod's doing the side combo. Got to do something.

[Si Robertson]

Look, that ain't a bad ideal.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, I'm in.

[Willie Robertson]

No, so I don't even make nothing. He just gets free riding reel.

[Si Robertson]

That's it. I guess. Equipment boys, them old people, you gotta have. You gotta have a couple of fish.

[Jase Robertson]

Them old people always want a senior citizen discount from me too. Do you ask for that everywhere you go?

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, I get it.

[Si Robertson]

That's what I like. When I, you know, I didn't have any money. I couldn't borrow $5 from nobody.

[Willie Robertson]

The only difference is I said, well, no about four times.

[Si Robertson]

Give me stuff. Yeah, you know, I said, where were you people at when I was. Just didn't have a dime.

[Willie Robertson]

And giving it to people that were like you are now, the same old thing. That's what Phil always says.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I had always said when I tried college, that the whole world, they. Whoever put this in play screwed the whole system up.

[Jase Robertson]

Whoever put college.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, I'm Talking about the way the world runs. They screwed it up totally.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Because number one, the real working man is paid peanuts. Then you got some clown that's got a piece of paper that said he's educated.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

In the office sitting on his butt doing nothing. Big bucks.

[Cade Robertson]

That's dang right.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, it's always been backwards.

[Cade Robertson]

No way. Yes, sir. Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, you ain't wrong.

[Si Robertson]

Plus, and I'm not, I'm not really down on education, but in the way I was. Because when I was in college, I had buddies that had graduated before me, okay? They had went to college. They had two degrees, a BA and a master's.

[Cade Robertson]

Yes, sir.

[Si Robertson]

And guess where they was working at McDonald's and Burger King, flipping burgers. And I said, wait a minute. Why would I waste four years, six years, eight years, depending on how much education you want to do. And then the last thing I hear out of you when I go for an interview, well, I, I can't use you there, young man. You're too educated. You know, So I just, you know, hey, side.

[Willie Robertson]

Chose Vietnam over McDonald's.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, because that's. Well, hey, no, I chose partying, chasing women. Okay. I mattered in. In partying and majored in women.

[Willie Robertson]

There it is. Yeah, go on now.

[Si Robertson]

And I, I, look, I told my mama that when she told me, hey, you're going to college. And I said, mama, don't waste yours and daddy's hard earned money. She said, hey. I said, look, all I'm going to do, party. And she said, well, make it a good one. Oh, look, hey, we're both happy.

[Willie Robertson]

You might as well enjoy it.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, y'all. I told her, I said, hey, I made it a good one. I partied the whole semester I was there.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, Lord have mercy. Hey, what you think about college? You opted out of it.

[Cade Robertson]

Well, so when I was in high school, we have dual enrollment in Florida, so I took college classes while I was in school, so. And I got a pretty good dose of it, being there around it and all that. And I mean, it's. I kind of realize that probably ain't somewhere I would be.

[Si Robertson]

Well, it's not for everybody.

[Cade Robertson]

Yes, sir. Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

All right. Mother's Day is right around the corner. And if you're looking for the perfect gift for mom.

[Si Robertson]

You go walk on these pipelines because I got a young man I know I love a friend of mine, he's in Alaska right now. 40 below. Okay. But he is getting ain't amount of money on earth. I would say I'm out, I'm out that.

[Willie Robertson]

But at least, at least he's not having to finance doordash orders.

[Jase Robertson]

What is that. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're listening, I want to know.

[Willie Robertson]

What's that?

[Jase Robertson]

As a man who took six years of college to get a finance degree size.

[Willie Robertson]

Look, you know, there's all kinds of ways you can order food and have.

[Jase Robertson]

It delivered anything to your house.

[Si Robertson]

Yes, I do.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

You ever doordash your food?

[Si Robertson]

Doordash?

[Jase Robertson]

That's what it's called. It's an app.

[Willie Robertson]

It's an app that you can order food on and they'll bring it to you.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, I do. I do that. Okay. You'll like this. And guess who I ordered it from?

[Willie Robertson]

Who?

[Si Robertson]

Johnny's Pizza.

[Willie Robertson]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, well, imagine I order pepperoni.

[Willie Robertson]

Sausage.

[Si Robertson]

Sausage and jalapenos and cricket. Oh, two or three times a month.

[Willie Robertson]

There you go. I thought you were going to say a week. And you were about to.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no, no, no, no. It's not at all. It's about four times a month.

[Willie Robertson]

Once a weekly pizza.

[Si Robertson]

Weekly pizza.

[Jase Robertson]

You ain't eating.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, so look.

[Si Robertson]

Matter of fact, hey, guess what we had at the Pokemon party?

[Jase Robertson]

Pizza.

[Si Robertson]

Pizza.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm just glad you didn't feed them, them imbeciles and fish I cleaned for you.

[Si Robertson]

No, no. Oh, no, no. That's gonna be for me. Interesting. That and maybe Philip and his wife Alicia.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, now, but what if when you order Johnny's, you had it delivered? You could just pay for it later. You could just finance your pizza.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, finance that later.

[Willie Robertson]

The pizza.

[Si Robertson]

Well, back in the day, I like that real good.

[Jase Robertson]

Eight easy installments over the next six years.

[Si Robertson]

I pay for it.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, you can pay. You could end up paying $127 for your $20 pizza.

[Cade Robertson]

Yes. 6% interest.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no. Hey, that's what just shocked me.

[Jase Robertson]

Do not finance your pizza.

[Si Robertson]

I usually didn't. Didn't look at what the. What it cost.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

The one day I come back, you know, from work for feminine. So pulled in Johnny's, ordered me a pizza.

[Willie Robertson]

He wasn't even going to wait.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, look. And had to wait like 30 minutes before I got it, you know, and then when I seen the price tag on it, I went back, I said, woman, why didn't you tell me that pizza was so expensive?

[Willie Robertson]

You can't put a price on a good time, so.

[Si Robertson]

Well, hey, that's not. Yeah, that's what I find.

[Jase Robertson]

40% off.

[Si Robertson]

If you're hungry for a pizza, you know, you ordered $25. Ain't nothing.

[Jase Robertson]

Now I so much pizza.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, if that's a problem, don't eat, don't Eat Johnny's pizza. Like there's an easy way to do life.

[Jase Robertson]

I feel like we've given a lot of really good advice this episode. Can I just say that Hunter. Hold on. What about Hunter?

[Willie Robertson]

I'm just interested.

[Jase Robertson]

Does Hunter need advice?

[Willie Robertson]

Do you door dash?

[Jase Robertson]

I did back in like 2021.

[Willie Robertson]

Not. No, you were the dasher or you ordered door dash.

[Jase Robertson]

Like ordered.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, yeah. I kept getting sick with a certain virus. Oh. Oh, that.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, that one.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, the one that they'll sent to us over.

[Jase Robertson]

But my sister and her husband, they.

[Willie Robertson]

Actually were door dash drivers for a while.

[Jase Robertson]

I would do that in a heartbeat. That's a great.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, they. They love doing it at night. You know what you work. You know what you could do to not have to finance your doordash. You could actually be the driver.

[Jase Robertson]

You could just get a job.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, I just. I don't know. I thought it was weird that they offer started offering finance.

[Jase Robertson]

They're.

[Willie Robertson]

They're too expensive anyway. I would. I'm not. That's a ripoff. Yeah, that's it.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, I had Domino's delivered.

[Si Robertson]

That's the thing now about everybody's getting mad because of tipping.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, yeah, Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, it's been in the news.

[Jase Robertson]

The other day that asked for a.

[Cade Robertson]

Tip probably like at McDonald's or something like that. Like they'll do it now. You go there and they'll put on.

[Jase Robertson]

The screen and Sonic.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah. Yes. You'll be favorite restaurant.

[Jase Robertson]

Right.

[Si Robertson]

Being a cheap. You know what.

[Cade Robertson]

And they'll be offended when you don't give me.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, yeah. Give the person, you know a tip.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, yeah. Huh.

[Cade Robertson]

What, what we're talking about here.

[Willie Robertson]

I think we're on. I think we're on opposite ends of.

[Si Robertson]

The spec is right now. But when I like, hey, if I'm.

[Jase Robertson]

Not sitting down, I ain't.

[Cade Robertson]

No, I'm not tipping at a fast food restaurant. I'm not doing that.

[Willie Robertson]

I got in trouble.

[Cade Robertson]

They get paid by the hours.

[Willie Robertson]

I got in trouble by Britney for not tipping the lady that cut the boy's hair enough the other day.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm. I'm not. I've gotten four haircuts in my life now, so I can't.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, let me tell you how I did this. So it was $50. I guess it's $25 each for the boys.

[Jase Robertson]

Gracious.

[Willie Robertson]

Granted, it's granted, wrangling them, that's something which we did most of them, but we did most of the wrangling. So I'm cool. But when it comes to the tip deal. I just went with the one in the middle. I didn't look like I didn't go all the way left because I figured that was like cheapskate and was probably zero. And then there was one over here, but there were, like, five options, and I just chose the one in the middle, but it wasn't enough, according to my wife. And I'm like, well, if it's not enough for the hairdressers, why don't they just up their fee? Well, why. Why are you dependent on it?

[Si Robertson]

I'll fix that.

[Willie Robertson]

Is it because tips aren't taxable? Is that what the. The big thing?

[Si Robertson]

I don't know.

[Willie Robertson]

We need to have Russell in here.

[Jase Robertson]

I've tipped him.

[Willie Robertson]

We need to get Russell, who owns a barber shop slash salon, slash everything. I understand tipping.

[Jase Robertson]

And promise you, if I ask Russell to show up.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

He will be here an hour early, and he will stay an hour late just for the opportunity to sit in here.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, and he'll probably bring his son, too, because his son watches everything we do. I guarantee you his son has already watched me inside go fishing, because every time I go in there, he wants the one. I'm gonna take his son fishing, which I'm totally cool with.

[Jase Robertson]

The field of being tipped. Oh, he's probably working right now, though. And he works with his hands, so he never text back.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, but at least he'll have the. I'm just curious. Oh, like, where do we draw the line? Should. Should Cade put in, like, on every duck call he. Bill, should he put on a tip for. For building that duck call? Like, when you buy it at Academy, can you tip Cade? Like, is there. Is there an option for tipping the duck?

[Jase Robertson]

I've never been tipped. I've been tipped one time.

[Si Robertson]

Here's my question. What's the rub here on the tip?

[Willie Robertson]

I just think there are some things that. Because you can.

[Si Robertson]

Are they too high, the money that they're charging?

[Willie Robertson]

No, I just think that they started putting a tip on everything for some reason, and I don't know why. Like, at restaurants. I get it, man. I'm a great tipper.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

That's what.

[Jase Robertson]

You know, I was once told by the crawfish guy by the house, I'm a better tipper than the robbers.

[Si Robertson]

This is. Well, here's the thing.

[Cade Robertson]

That's right.

[Si Robertson]

This is when I was broke, didn't have any money. Okay. You know, and I've tipped waitresses before.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And they actually. When I handed them the tip, they cried.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. I mean, most of the time my.

[Si Robertson]

Tips are in cash, these people are struggling, barely to make a living.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, man, I have a great tipping story, but it's rude.

[Cade Robertson]

You know, same in music, too. I mean, you got that.

[Si Robertson]

You just hit on something. I was shocked when I actually went out with my band because I was planning on paying my band big. And then when the reality of what they. No.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I said, wait a minute, hold it. You're paying the band how much?

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I said, wait a minute. This is the people that make the music for you to sing to, idiot.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

You're giving them peanuts.

[Cade Robertson]

No, I know it.

[Willie Robertson]

Did y'all have a tip jar?

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, yes, sir. Yeah. And after about every fourth or fifth song, I would. I would. I would get up and do a whole spiel about tipping your bands and all that because it really is necessary. Because.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, if you don't tell them. They don't. They won't you nothing.

[Cade Robertson]

They won't do it. No. No, sir. They won't do it at all.

[Si Robertson]

I was shocked that. Hey, that's why most. You know, when my band. When we wasn't on a gig. Hey, he's playing somewhere else at night.

[Cade Robertson]

Yep.

[Si Robertson]

Just to make enough money to pay the bills for exactly what Russell say.

[Jase Robertson]

I got Russell for next Monday.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

He said, you want me to come now?

[Si Robertson]

That's why I was saying, quit being a cheap. You know what?

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, yeah. No, my.

[Si Robertson]

Someone serves you a meal, that's fine. Is on your 100% call. Hey, tip the person. A decent tip.

[Jase Robertson]

But the problem is.

[Willie Robertson]

Agree more.

[Jase Robertson]

But I went to nukes. It was nukes on Friday night. I ordered it. I went. I picked. I walked up and said, order for John. David hands it to me, put my card down, and it's like 15%. I'm like, well, you just. You handed me the food. I'm not. Where's the line?

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, where, where, where? Yeah. Now it's like everywhere that has the option to put tip on their receipt. They do. That's food service. 100% tip. I. Yes, absolutely. I do it all. But now there's just, like. It shows up in weird places.

[Jase Robertson]

Shows up in a lot of weird places.

[Willie Robertson]

Shows up in weird places.

[Jase Robertson]

You know who's getting it.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. And I don't know why I'm. That's why I'm just like, could you just up the price to cover the tip? Can you just up the price to whatever you think this is. Can you just increase the price?

[Si Robertson]

All right.

[Jase Robertson]

Russell, my friend Russell, who is one of the more Eccentric human beings in the whole wide world. He's actually my new barber. He's who I go see once every.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. And my boys get their hair cut by somebody at Russell's shop. Never Russell, because he's. He's hard to get into.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Well, he's like Sadie's.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Hair stylist.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Me and say. Yeah, you heard that right. Me and Sadie go. The same guy.

[Willie Robertson]

Hairstylist to the north Louisiana Stars.

[Jase Robertson]

Yes.

[Willie Robertson]

John David.

[Jase Robertson]

But that's just because we're friends. All he has said is, I have strong opinions on the matter. And if Russell has strong opinions because he's a very opinionated person.

[Willie Robertson]

He is.

[Jase Robertson]

That he is a Facebook risk.

[Willie Robertson]

I got a question. So if you were to. I know you probably. You guys probably don't go to coffee shops and get coffee, but if you're.

[Jase Robertson]

That sounds awful and expensive.

[Willie Robertson]

It is expensive. But if you were to go to.

[Jase Robertson]

A coffee shop, you get one cup of coffee.

[Willie Robertson]

Do you believe in tipping for that, too?

[Jase Robertson]

If that.

[Si Robertson]

If they. If.

[Cade Robertson]

If they bring it to.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Cade Robertson]

But no, if I'm at the counter and I get it, I'm. I'm. No, I don't think so.

[Willie Robertson]

That's what I'm saying. Coffee shops do that. Just up your price. Like, I don't understand the reason for a tip.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm about to put a tip jar out on the counter and just see what happens.

[Willie Robertson]

I don't get it.

[Jase Robertson]

Should I put a word out this evening and see what happens?

[Willie Robertson]

You should.

[Si Robertson]

I'll tell you what happened.

[Jase Robertson]

They'll probably leave. I ain't doing.

[Willie Robertson]

But in the words of. In the words of Whelan, every once.

[Si Robertson]

In a while you'll get a good guy come in, maybe drop something in there.

[Jase Robertson]

Overall, I have fixed the guys, like, odds and reels up before, and it was like 18 bucks. And they'll be like, here's 25. And I'm like, oh, thank you. This is neat.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Now, but see, that was an extra service right there. So I could see, like, if you had a tip, if you have one guy doing real spooling, that's. That's a. That's a different service, but for you to, like, have tip on your receipt because somebody went out there and got four packets of worms and two packs of hooks.

[Jase Robertson]

That's weird.

[Willie Robertson]

Brought it to you and it says tip. You're like, no, I don't. We got a problem.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

On that deal.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Like, tips are weird.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, it's just weird.

[Jase Robertson]

Hey, look, if you've been listening to us for a long time or a short time. You know that we're just regular guys with regular jobs that like to be healthy, as healthy as we can be. We've gone through ups and downs, but it's important for us to be healthy and healthy dads for our loved ones. And that includes your heart health and your brain health. And omega 3s are crucial for brain and heart health, but they can be hard to get from food alone, which is why I got something for you right now. We got Ag Omega 3. The typical American diet does not contain enough Omega 3s. And each serving of Ag 1 Omega 3 provides over 2000mg of the most bioavailable forms of Omega 3. Ag Omega 3 is a sustainably sourced from wild caught fish. Who doesn't like a wild caught fish? A hint of living in the formulation makes it easy to incorporate daily as part of your AG1 foundational nutrition plan. Without that fishy aftertaste, you need brain health, you need heart health. They're probably your two most important organs. Anybody disagree with that? Hey, those are the two. And Omega 3s can make that happen for you. Stone, you ever take any of those omega pills? Oh, yeah, they got the fishy taste to them.

[Willie Robertson]

There's nothing worse than burping up fish.

[Jase Robertson]

You don't want to, but you want to keep your fish down. And when I add a little lemon to help that out, that's what they do. Ag Omega 3 does just that. Look, if you haven't tried AG1 yet, they're bundling it with their Omega 3s for free. So it couldn't be a better time to start. It's something we've actually been able to stay consistent with and that's why we've been partnering with AG1 for so long. So subscribe today and get a one month supply of AG Omega 3 with your first AG1 order. You'll also get their welcome kit with everything you need to get started on your AG1 journey. So make sure to check out drinkag1.com duck to claim this special offer. That's drinkag1.com duck. All I'm going to say, though, is this was just a plethora of knowledge on this episode, which leads me to talk about something.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay, go ahead.

[Jase Robertson]

I was very bored the other night. When I tell you very bored, I mean so bored. I ended up on YouTube with this show right here known as Unashamed because the title was directed towards psy. Oh, and I'm just gonna play this. I had Hunter, pull this. Thank you, Hunter. I'm gonna play this in its entirety for Sigh.

[Willie Robertson]

Zach need to put a little powder on.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, Zach's not the problem.

[Willie Robertson]

No, I'm just saying he needs to put a little powder on his face. A little shiny. I'll go one deeper.

[Si Robertson]

I did not know that I'm a redneck, but I didn't know there's another.

[Jase Robertson]

There's another world, Jace.

[Si Robertson]

There's another world inside the world, the.

[Jase Robertson]

Redneck world that I got to taste a little bit of last time I was there. And it's actually right across the hall from where you're sitting right now, called.

[Si Robertson]

The Duck Car Room.

[Jase Robertson]

I was a guest on the Duck Car Room.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, boy. Yeah, that's a world that's just on the other side of our wall here. That world within our world.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

There's a thin line between a podcast that. That has meaningful material and just a.

[Willie Robertson]

Pool of ignorant Babel.

[Jase Robertson]

So you're saying they're going back to. We've been talking about going past the Tower of Babel.

[Si Robertson]

They're going back to the Tower of Battle. I actually said that the last time I walked in.

[Jase Robertson]

I said, now over here, right next.

[Willie Robertson]

Door, we have multiple men speaking one language.

[Jase Robertson]

That is Jesus.

[Willie Robertson]

I said, in this room, we have.

[Jase Robertson]

A table of Babel, actually. Two tables.

[Si Robertson]

Two tables.

[Jase Robertson]

It was fun, I'll tell you that. It was.

[Si Robertson]

Zach was all.

[Jase Robertson]

He was all.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he was all excited.

[Willie Robertson]

I mean, the Tower. But Babel had a purpose.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

There's an energy there.

[Willie Robertson]

For sure. To men speaking one language. That was fulfilled in Jesus.

[Jase Robertson]

I mean, he. He. He went at us there. Friends.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

But you know my problem?

[Willie Robertson]

That's your nephew.

[Jase Robertson]

He ain't even got his microphone on.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, put your. Put your head. Yeah, well, put your headset back on so we can talk about it.

[Jase Robertson]

So he. He straight called us babbling fools, basically.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, I mean, at that point, a little bit, he's not wrong, but I've.

[Jase Robertson]

Never seen anyone come up here not smile.

[Willie Robertson]

But to say that we don't have any substance.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, no, but he's wrong. He said it right the first time when he said, hey, the. The Tower of Babel had a purpose.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah, right.

[Si Robertson]

Well, look, I've got a purpose. Oh, okay. You can do things. Okay. And be miserable. Okay. Or you can do things and have fun.

[Jase Robertson]

Boom.

[Cade Robertson]

That's right.

[Si Robertson]

Okay, here's all I said. I'm not going to be miserable. Life is too short.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay, well, here's what I'll Say, that was so funny. For people that are full of substance, they sure do pull from our pool of talent often and get them sitting in that chair in there. Mainly you. So I don't understand that they. A Treasure show was about you.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, hey, they're going to do the revival. Who should we bring in?

[Willie Robertson]

You.

[Si Robertson]

Here's what's so great about that, okay? Is, look, I learn here, okay? And when I go next door to the game, I learn there.

[Willie Robertson]

But, you know, with your nephew, it's always a contest. Well, no, no, everything's a contest.

[Si Robertson]

No, no.

[Willie Robertson]

Everything.

[Jase Robertson]

And to be fair, if you want to go listen to the deep theological discussion, you're in the wrong spot.

[Willie Robertson]

By all means, don't go over there.

[Si Robertson]

I'm not. Oh, I actually disagree with that because I've told everybody that's been involved in my podcast, okay? We give out some very good advice that is true.

[Jase Robertson]

Like, don't finance your doordash, okay?

[Si Robertson]

And I told you all to your face, okay? I was shocked at how smart everybody that's here.

[Jase Robertson]

We're sneaky smart. We're all smart.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. But the main point is, hey, life is too boring. Drudgery. Okay? Living life is hard.

[Willie Robertson]

There you go. That's true. That's a true statement. Life is flat out hard.

[Si Robertson]

I like to add a little fun to my life. That is boring.

[Willie Robertson]

Amen, buddy.

[Si Robertson]

Okay? And if you hold that against me, hey, I pity you.

[Willie Robertson]

I pity the fun.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I pity you, okay? Because you don't have any fun.

[Cade Robertson]

Life too short.

[Si Robertson]

You know it. Really? Yeah. Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

I just love.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, the Bible says it best. Hey, you're just a myth that's here for a short time and then you're. You're gone.

[Willie Robertson]

I just love everything.

[Si Robertson]

Okay? Learn to laugh at yourself when you do something stupid, because trust me, folks, you're a human being and you're going to do a lot of it, okay? So I learned to laugh yourself and move on and have a good time while you're here. You're not going to be here long.

[Willie Robertson]

No fool around. I'm going to change the door code.

[Si Robertson]

And with that, I appreciate everyone in this room.

[Willie Robertson]

Amen, buddy. We appreciate you, okay? That's why you do.

[Si Robertson]

The other day, I had so much fun with you and the cameraman.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, I know. And look, you know, you're welcome. Go with me. I know it's a short window with you now because you can't really take the heat and it's about to get hot. So that's why when you said, hey, I want to go. I said, well, we're going. Let me just make sure I can find us a place to go. But, you know, I mean, God, on that, I don't get it, man. I just don't get the comparison. His whole life is a comparison. That's what I don't understand.

[Si Robertson]

Well, like, on that, hey, the only thing.

[Willie Robertson]

And I love Jason.

[Si Robertson]

The only thing important in this world for you and whoever else you run into is the relationship you form.

[Willie Robertson]

Amen.

[Si Robertson]

With everyone you come into contact to, you have the opportunity to form a relationship.

[Cade Robertson]

No.

[Si Robertson]

Okay. That. That is, in my humble opinion, is priceless.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Okay. Because, hey, that's what life is really about. The relationship first with the Almighty, the one that created everything. All right? Then the second one is, hey, the relationship whether. If you found a woman, you marry, you have kids. Okay. It's all about, hey, the relationships you have and how far you take them. Okay. And that's, you know, that is life and a good one.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, and I think we're getting deep now.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Well, and I think our relationship in here is one. Like, we just. We all cut up together. And I think my favorite part of that whole little clip of them getting on us is the fact that Dasher couldn't stop smiling. Just remembering all the fun he had.

[Willie Robertson]

I know, because.

[Jase Robertson]

And he said he got whiplash because we're all yelling and screaming and.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, he got the. He did have the unenviable middle seat, which is the one I had for all of Duck Dynasty. That's a tough place to sit.

[Jase Robertson]

But I sat there one day with Phil K. And Zach.

[Willie Robertson]

That's a hard spot to sit.

[Jase Robertson]

I was, like, left in the middle.

[Si Robertson]

Here's the thing. If I. If I remember correctly, and guess what we was talking about Family relationships everybody had with each other.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, okay. That's why he had so much fun. We talked about his mom, who's in heaven now. My sister Judy. She's in heaven now.

[Willie Robertson]

You want to know the other reason he has so much fun in here? He actually got to talk.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that is the truth, because we.

[Willie Robertson]

Will let anybody have the microphone. None of us care. Like.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I.

[Jase Robertson]

Like. We do care. We'll just start shouting above each other until somebody says something interesting.

[Willie Robertson]

And we'll. We'll go with that. We'll go with those famous four words to Hunter, fix it, and post. Yeah, Hunter.

[Jase Robertson]

Hunter actually has the hardest job of any of the podcast.

[Si Robertson]

You just gotta run it.

[Jase Robertson]

Only two things in life are certain.

[Willie Robertson]

What's that?

[Jase Robertson]

Death and taxes. And I'm not really a big fan of either of those. But I'm here to tell you there's a third certainty, and you're going to love it.

[Willie Robertson]

What's that?

[Jase Robertson]

If you're with Verizon at&t or T Mobile, you could be saving a fortune every month by switching to Pure Talk. That's right. Pure Talk, our sponsor and my cell phone company is cutting the fat from the wireless industry. Who doesn't want to cut the fat? Everybody likes cutting the fat. And they're cutting it from the wireless industry because you're getting overcharged. And for just 25 bucks a month, you can get unlimited Talk, text, and 5 gigs of data on America's most dependable 5G network. And listen to this. The average family of four like yours, Martin.

[Willie Robertson]

Yep.

[Jase Robertson]

Saves over $1,000 a year when they switch to Pure Talk. That's real money back in your pocket.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, I like that.

[Jase Robertson]

And they got a US Customer service.

[Willie Robertson]

Team, which is important.

[Jase Robertson]

Now these people are in Georgia.

[Willie Robertson]

Yep.

[Jase Robertson]

You can switch hassle free in as little as 10 minutes. You can even keep your phone and your phone number, which is what I wanted to do because I've had the same phone number since I was like 16. Or if you're looking to upgrade your current device, they can get you a fancy new phone too. Switching is easy. I know because I did it. And I'm now a proud Pure Talk customer. And si. You're going to love this. These dudes are veteran owned and they love supporting veterans. They've donated 50 grand to provide scholarships to support veterans learning trades after active duty. They're helping eliminate veteran debt and they love raising donations to end veteran suicide. Thank you for that, Pure Talk. So here's what I need you to do. Do this. Go to PureTalk.com to make the switch and you'll save an additional 50 off your first month. Again, that's PureTalk.com to start saving today. Pure Talk Wireless by Americans for Americans.

[Si Robertson]

All right, what. What's the Almighty gonna leave us with here today?

[Jase Robertson]

Jd, Are you ready to go home?

[Willie Robertson]

We got. Well, hey, we probably need to answer at least. I. Email or voicemail. You got something?

[Si Robertson]

Whatever y'all want want to do.

[Jase Robertson]

Hunter just gave me the saddest look ever about you're not sending as many.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, we haven't been teeing them up either.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, we've been having a lot. Let's. I. I want to break it down real fast. Hello. At Duck Call Room. Ask us for advice.

[Willie Robertson]

Ask.

[Jase Robertson]

I'mma read the Emails or not even.

[Willie Robertson]

Ask weird questions, weird question, give praise reports. We like seeing all of it, right? Things happen in everybody's lives. So, like, if you got something cool that happened, let's talk about it. If you got.

[Jase Robertson]

And I. Sometimes I'm going to read weird. Like, I kind of got a weird one today that I.

[Willie Robertson]

And the voicemail. Leave us a voicemail. It is 318.

[Jase Robertson]

You'll hear your voice on this podcast.

[Willie Robertson]

It is 318.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

215-215-656-559. Yeah. It had been a minute, so I wanted to make sure I got that right.

[Jase Robertson]

Hold on, let's.

[Si Robertson]

Let's.

[Jase Robertson]

I want to hammer this home. What is it?

[Willie Robertson]

318-215-6559. That's what I thought it was, but I just wanted to make sure.

[Jase Robertson]

Hold on.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, Jack, this is Uncle Sign. You reached my answering machine.

[Jase Robertson]

This is the voice.

[Si Robertson]

Bring me a message for us to play in the duck call room, and you just might hear yourself in an upcoming episode. But please, y'all, hey, keep it short and don't forget, make it funny.

[Willie Robertson]

Your buddy called that.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, hey, this is John David Owen. I'm from West Monroe, Louisiana. Is Hunter as. I'm just kidding, Hunter. Anyway, I got a. I. I did get a. I got a good chuckle. Craig from Pensacola, Florida, emailed in.

[Willie Robertson]

Craig.

[Jase Robertson]

He just watched Duckman 21, the Last Supper.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, that's old.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, gracious sex alive. I actually, I need to do this text message, too, after this. This is. We're all. We're. I got a text message we're doing after Craig's email.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Craig from Pensacola, Florida, he said during the bullfrog hunt. I've never watched this, by the way, Martin, that is not really my cup of tea. J. Stone appeared to be in the worst shape than anyone on the dvd. That includes Godwin. How did he turn it around and what motivates him to keep the momentum going?

[Willie Robertson]

I'm gonna guess that watching that video is one of the things that helped turn him around.

[Jase Robertson]

And I wanted to do this with him, not here and you here because you know him well. Because he would just say, well, I'm here to cause physical pain on others if need be, or simulated murder. And he would give you some answer like that. But what's the. What would you say keeps Stone motivated to keep the weight off?

[Cade Robertson]

Well, I do know the original reason why he said he wanted to start losing weight. He said that they was hunting one day and he had to go a crip with a Mallard, and he had to go. Go after him.

[Si Robertson]

That's the story.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, that's the story. Cause I. Yeah, I've asked him.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I run and run after that crippled Mallard and I had to stop. It was like that old man there.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah. He was hoping.

[Si Robertson]

He said, hey, I might get rid of this. This ain't right. I'm too young. I'm too young to feel that bad.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I think that is what he. He doesn't want to go back.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, you get. Everybody gets to that point in life.

[Si Robertson]

Well.

[Jase Robertson]

And you have kids and you get to a point where you're like, oh, wow, I. I might have made some.

[Willie Robertson]

And I don't know whether she's serious or not, but Anna always told him if he got £300.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, no, that was the other one. That was.

[Willie Robertson]

I've never heard that.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah, yeah, that was the other. Because she said that in front of me before. Yeah, I've been over there.

[Jase Robertson]

We don't lose.

[Si Robertson]

I'm going to give me a new one.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Nan always says, if you get £300, I'm out.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Me and Stone, you used to hang out a lot back then. In both of our heavyset days.

[Willie Robertson]

That's a pain.

[Jase Robertson]

No, no, no. Just eating iron cactus.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Then Monterey fajitas.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, pork.

[Willie Robertson]

Pork on top. And top shelf readers.

[Si Robertson]

Anyway, but back to the deal about losing it. It's nothing worse than see someone that has lost a lot of weight and then gains it all back.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Get right back up there.

[Si Robertson]

Come on.

[Willie Robertson]

I did that two years ago as a roller.

[Si Robertson]

You went through it and lost it. And then. Why would you be that stupid and go back?

[Jase Robertson]

Here's the thing. People say you feel better, and that's. I don't know that that part's true because you don't really notice it. But what you do notice.

[Willie Robertson]

I do notice it.

[Jase Robertson]

But in your everyday things, like chasing ducks.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

It's way easier to do it whenever you're in shape.

[Willie Robertson]

Like taking side fishing the other day.

[Jase Robertson]

Way easier to do it in shape because that's a lot of work.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

He's still.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that's what most people don't realize.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Hunting is a lot of work. Fishing is a lot of work.

[Willie Robertson]

But like in that hole we fished in is like bumper boats, so stumps everywhere. So the whole time, I'm constantly just going back and forth, side to side, getting off stumps on the stumps, all the things. And if I hadn't lost the weight, I would have been dead by the time we left there.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

As it was, I still could have fished the rest of the day.

[Si Robertson]

Like every time he had hit one of them stops, it was ought to look in to see if he's gonna fall in.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. I'd almost got.

[Si Robertson]

You ain't wait. You ain't ready for it. Bam.

[Willie Robertson]

I almost did one.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Because they said watch out tree. But what they didn't see was the stump in front of the tree under the gunnel of the boat.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he knew. He knew it was too far away from the tree. Yeah, he didn't see the stump.

[Willie Robertson]

And that thing hit that thing with that wind blowing crossways and buddy. I bout and hey, the wind was.

[Si Robertson]

At about 12 miles an hour.

[Willie Robertson]

I kind of peeked over my shoulder and saw the tree. I was like, oh, I got plenty. No problem. I just.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Then about that time, I said, oh God, I'm going swimming, boys. Yeah, but I stayed in the boat this time. But.

[Cade Robertson]

Well, hey, at least if you did, like I said, you probably got a little bit more. A little more ump into you to get away, you know?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Like, I mean, ain't no big deal. I could have just stood up in that hole. It's pretty shallow.

[Cade Robertson]

Oh, well, yeah, but, but like.

[Willie Robertson]

No, it's just. No, you. I do feel better. Like I don't have that dragon feeling.

[Jase Robertson]

It's when you're doing stuff.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, you like just.

[Jase Robertson]

You could do stuff. Like, I had to move a treadmill recently.

[Willie Robertson]

The best thing I ever did was quit eating lunch because it didn't matter what I ate. I always kind of felt like trash from. If you eat at 12, you don't feel yourself again until like 2:00.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

So I just cut that crap out and do the intermittent fasting all day until I get home at dinner time. And I feel.

[Jase Robertson]

We built the whole home gym thing and I moved house and bought this stupid treadmill. Like goes under the bed at one point and she wanted me to move it to the garage. And I was super out of shape and it almost killed me getting it there. And then one day she was like, hey, I kind of want that back in the bedroom. And I was like, oh, I walked out there and I picked it up, put it over my shoulder and walked in the house like, oh, wow, I am in much better shape. And that. And remembering stuff like that, I'm like, okay, we're good.

[Willie Robertson]

It's easy for me now too, because them two, them two youngins keep me. They keep me motivated to want to be able to play.

[Si Robertson]

I didn't energize a bunny.

[Willie Robertson]

Like, yeah, and they are.

[Jase Robertson]

Here's the text message, though.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

I can't end without this. Do you know Kip from the production team?

[Willie Robertson]

Are they.

[Jase Robertson]

They're, like, all from the production team doing the TV shows. Typically, like, Californians and people from all over.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

This person just said, what kind of lure should we use for the water at Phil's property?

[Willie Robertson]

There's just one.

[Jase Robertson]

They're not going to catch anything.

[Willie Robertson]

Who's. Who's fishing?

[Jase Robertson]

They didn't respond.

[Willie Robertson]

How are they fishing?

[Jase Robertson]

We have no idea.

[Willie Robertson]

Lines. Yo, yo.

[Jase Robertson]

They need live bait.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

They need live shiners and a core. They need crickets and shiners.

[Si Robertson]

That's right.

[Willie Robertson]

Like, legit crickets. I call everybody.

[Jase Robertson]

I just think it's funny that they need down there, like.

[Cade Robertson]

Yeah, that's right.

[Jase Robertson]

What kind of lure should we use for the water?

[Willie Robertson]

You send her a picture of dynamite?

[Jase Robertson]

Hell, yeah. That's their only chance.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, let's get out of here.

[Jase Robertson]

I got us a verse, specifically one of deep meaning for the people that like to have fun in life. Psalm 126. To our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with song of joy. Then it was said, among the nations, the Lord has gone. Done great things for them. Not the joy of the Lord. Unashamed people.

[Willie Robertson]

Joy of the Lord.

[Jase Robertson]

Get you some of it.

[Willie Robertson]

Will be my strength.

[Jase Robertson]

Smile every once in a while.

[Willie Robertson]

All right, we'll see y'all next time. Right here in the duck call room. We're out.
