[Si Robertson]

Yeah, if you make the new number list, that's. That's big time.

[John Chris]

And if you. And if I would say a new number is either you made some great choices or some poor choices.

[Si Robertson]

So where would you classify one of the two?

[John Chris]

Because either you're like, oh, I'm very much more popular than I used to be, or got to get rid of.

[Si Robertson]

Old friends or there's people looking for me.

[Jase Robertson]

George Jones said it. Best choices I make.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, there you go. You got to live and die.

[Jase Robertson]

[Jase Robertson]

Somebody's been telling me you need to.

[John Chris]

Because of the Chinese.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, I. Who knows? I don't know who because of. But, hey, you know, hey, I used to.

[Willie Robertson]

He ain't doing it.

[John Chris]

Ain't doing it well, last time.

[Jase Robertson]

How's the standup comic business?

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah. Well, I got a show in Shreveport. You want to come do some time up front, tell some stories?

[Si Robertson]

You can intro it.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that would be.

[John Chris]

That would be awesome.

[Si Robertson]

Opener.

[Willie Robertson]

When is it?

[John Chris]

It's in April. How you up between now and then to get five minutes of a routine together?

[Jase Robertson]

I had to get with Philip and see if we want to drive over. That'd be.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, I thought you were saying Philip for, like, the routine. I was like, oh, no, Phillip, he will drive you.

[John Chris]

What if he had to do five? What would he do?

[Willie Robertson]

It just depends on if it would take a weird political turn or not.

[Jase Robertson]

Where are you going to be at? In Tree.

[Willie Robertson]

For Margaritaville?

[John Chris]

Yeah. I don't know. Let me look.

[Si Robertson]

Horseshoe.

[John Chris]

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, a few of them.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

I'm not going there.

[Willie Robertson]

I got bad news. Lock both of your doors.

[John Chris]

It's bad.

[Willie Robertson]

Shreveport?

[John Chris]

I thought it was the Strand. The Strand Theater.

[Si Robertson]

Never heard of it.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't Know where that's at, But.

[Si Robertson]

I don't spend time over there. But I'm sure we can find it.

[Willie Robertson]

For a good reason.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't guess that's for the. Oh, yeah. Restaurant and food.

[Si Robertson]

That's in April. Yeah.

[John Chris]

I think around Boer.

[Willie Robertson]

We're in.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Size in. I will open for you.

[John Chris]

How far is that? An hour?

[Si Robertson]

About an hour 20. Yeah.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I'm probably going to have to bring my wife over there for that.

[John Chris]

Yeah, come through.

[Si Robertson]

Just.

[John Chris]

We'll save you a section.

[Willie Robertson]

Hold on. We get a whole section. But last time we didn't introduce him and some of our fans got mad. Yeah, we did not introduce.

[Si Robertson]

So I did it right off the rip. This day?

[Willie Robertson]

Well, no, but I've decided to list off some of his great accomplishments according to Wikipedia.

[John Chris]

I can't wait for this.

[Willie Robertson]

His first job was at a Chick Fil. A restaurant, but he was fired for using his arm to stir the lemonade.

[John Chris]

That is true.

[Willie Robertson]

On your Wikipedia.

[John Chris]

I don't know.

[Willie Robertson]

You can take that down.

[John Chris]

I can.

[Si Robertson]

Did you write it yourself?

[John Chris]

Oh, no.

[Jase Robertson]

What did you get fired for?

[John Chris]

I was stirring up the lemonade with my hand instead of the spoon. And then the. The. My boss called me.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey.

[Jase Robertson]

I just said, hey, hey. I'm putting love in it.

[John Chris]

Well, there you go.

[Si Robertson]

There you go.

[Jase Robertson]

All good food. Hey. That's why grandmama's food's so, so good.

[John Chris]

Yeah. Cooked it with her hands.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, she put John's hands.

[Jase Robertson]

She put it together with her hands, you idiots.

[John Chris]

Like a piece of. Like some bread. You do it yourself. Yeah. No gloves back then.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. I ain't no glove now.

[John Chris]

No gloves.

[Willie Robertson]

And he got his first performance at a Chili's.

[John Chris]

That is true.

[Jase Robertson]

There you go.

[John Chris]

That is true. In Pueblo. In Pueblo, Colorado.

[Willie Robertson]

Do you know how brave you have to be to do stand up comedy in front of people drinking Chili's margaritas?

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I would say stand up comedy would actually get me to visit a Chili's.

[John Chris]

Again, disrespectful to Chili's.

[Si Robertson]

It is, but it's not American cuisine.

[Willie Robertson]

Whoa, whoa.

[Si Robertson]

Their tortilla chips have no tinsel strength.

[John Chris]

That's blasphemy. No. What?

[Si Robertson]

No, you. You dip them and they break like nothing.

[Jase Robertson]

Worse than the dip.

[Willie Robertson]

Chips don't, but sauce is phenomenal. And part B of that.

[Si Robertson]

You still on them Southwestern egg rolls, ain't you?

[Willie Robertson]

Yes.

[Jase Robertson]

Me and Allison out for Fritos samplers came over. Frito dips?

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, Chili's.

[Willie Robertson]

We went to Chili's for the first time in decades.

[John Chris]

Yeah. Cuz somebody graduated.

[Willie Robertson]

No, you were like, we're going to.

[Jase Robertson]

Somebody got.

[John Chris]

Whoa. Just on a regular night.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, we were doing it special.

[John Chris]

Occ only.

[Willie Robertson]

We're going to Chili.

[John Chris]

How well is this pod doing?

[Willie Robertson]

Pretty good.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

After that we were going to a minor league hockey game. That's how good we're doing.

[Si Robertson]

That's a night which he's a sponsor of.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. I'm on the ice, my friend. So we, we're. We're walking into Chili's, there's tables open everywhere. And I'm like, yep, I'm about to live like a king again.

[John Chris]

Oh yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

And the only thing it'll be an.

[Jase Robertson]

Interest is Chili right now. Is what though? The robot.

[Willie Robertson]

What?

[Jase Robertson]

Nowadays that ain't in Chili's.

[Si Robertson]

No.

[John Chris]

Oh, they bring it to you. The robot brings you Chili's.

[Willie Robertson]

They don't do anything because it was.

[Jase Robertson]

An hour about that on here. Where was that at then?

[Willie Robertson]

Oh no, that's the salsa cat robot.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I thought that that's a little place we call the hat.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, I thought that was Chili.

[Si Robertson]

Also known as El Sombrero. But yeah, loosely translated to that, Chili's.

[Willie Robertson]

Had an hour and 45 minute wait. And I've never been ashamed to be from West Monroe until that moment. I was like, are we really. Are there people waiting an hour and a half?

[Si Robertson]

I thought it happened that time me and you went on the observation mission at the Golden Corral. Because that was pretty shameful.

[John Chris]

Observation mission.

[Si Robertson]

Well, we ate a little bit.

[Willie Robertson]

We really just wanted.

[Si Robertson]

We had never been in Golden Corral and when we were the smallest people in there. That's a problem. Yeah.

[John Chris]

Why was the wait so long at Chili's?

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, you said it. The wait.

[Si Robertson]

Because.

[John Chris]

No, he's back.

[Jase Robertson]

Pun, pun, man.

[Si Robertson]

You really bring up this guy.

[Willie Robertson]

Catch him at the whatever Strand Theater in April sometime.

[John Chris]

I don't need him to open. I'm gonna take that joke.

[Si Robertson]

Better be careful.

[John Chris]

That's like. That's like. Have you ever had like a line outside of like a, like a nightclub or a bar? And they go, there's a line. You go, actually, I'm going home.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

I'm not.

[Willie Robertson]

I wouldn't.

[John Chris]

I don't want to get a Bud Light in there for $7. I'll just go home at the gas.

[Willie Robertson]

Station by my house. They sell them way cheap for 350.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. They let them put them in a bag.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

The line.

[Si Robertson]

What alive?

[John Chris]

Yeah. I'm trying to think of the best restaurant in the line. It's. It's how long? Actually, I'm good.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, I then I went next door to Outback and they said 15 minutes. And I looked the girl in the eyes and said, no, it ain't worth that. Not even close.

[Si Robertson]

Outback's no.

[John Chris]

How long? Say if you. If they said there was a line, you can meet Trump, how long would you wait? No, no, I'm not.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm not a lion person.

[John Chris]

Yeah, I respect that. Dude, you're not doing.

[Willie Robertson]

For the only thing.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't even know, you know, I don't even know if Jesus was there. I don't even know if I probably would stand in line for him.

[Willie Robertson]

I hope you've been waiting 78 years.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Chris]

So it said, wait in this line for 10 minutes for Trump. You're out. You're out. I like that. I respect that. I respect.

[Jase Robertson]

I had said, though, when everybody was just trashing him and wouldn't. Didn't recognize him last time. He's.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I said, you idiots don't know what you're looking at.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I said, that man's going to be. He will go down in history as one of our best.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, but you're not waiting 10 minutes to shake his hand.

[Jase Robertson]

No, I watch him on tv. Hey, the boy is good at what?

[John Chris]

He said, hey, tell him Si said, what's up?

[Si Robertson]

I said, you realize there was a time he'd had to wait an hour to meet me, right?

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, no. You talking about that when I went to. What. Can't think of the name of the. Yeah, it's a sports. Sports deal. We'll just assume Virginia.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, Virginia.

[Willie Robertson]

Virginia checks.

[Jase Robertson]

But anyway, we're driving and hey, like, you know, 10 miles from where we're supposed to go, you know, the traffic is just horrific. It's just, you know, bumper to bumper and ain't moving.

[Willie Robertson]

10 miles.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Humble brag alert.

[Jase Robertson]

What in the world is going on? And the driver turn around and he said, hey, idiot, they're all coming to see you.

[Willie Robertson]

10 miles of traffic.

[Jase Robertson]

And I said, what?

[John Chris]

Who are these people?

[Jase Robertson]

I said, yeah. I said, what? Hey, they need to get a life.

[John Chris]

Yeah. What, they're going to be let down. That's what I say when they meet me.

Oh, no, you'll get that.

[John Chris]

Yeah. You don't like them.

[Willie Robertson]

There's a couple kids that my kids are around.

[John Chris]

They don't like them. But. What do you like the parents?

[Willie Robertson]

No, I don't like them either.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, they're. They're in lies the. The tangle. So did you not like the kid before? You didn't like the parent?

[John Chris]

Kid's probably fine. But you don't like the parent?

[Willie Robertson]

Kids are stupid looking.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, no, no, but that's that's part of it. Kids are entertaining. Yeah, they really are. Because hey, you never know when something is sad. They like me in a way.

[John Chris]

No, they like it. Yeah. Yeah, I see that.

[Jase Robertson]

Because you never know what, what if something's sad. You, you have no idea what I'm gonna respond with.

[John Chris]

Yep.

[Si Robertson]

Now that's a wild card.

[John Chris]

A true wild card.

[Jase Robertson]

That's why though, I am a kid.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I never grew up.

[John Chris]

Stay that way.

[Jase Robertson]

I refused to grow up.

[John Chris]

Stay that way. Yeah, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm serious. You know, it's boring.

[John Chris]

Yalls kids like. Sigh. Oh yeah, they do.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, my kids love him. Yeah.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

My kid made a whole announcement to the entire library at school that his uncle Sa was in the Vietnam war.

[Jase Robertson]

Here, here's a kid. JD's Carter.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

He's one. He's a future president.

[John Chris]

Is he? Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

No, no. Hey, I'm telling you, that boy, he'll be president. He's a field.

[Willie Robertson]

I got another picture of him at school today. We purposely don't send him with money because you know, he likes to eat a lot. And so then my sister who works out there sent a picture of him holding chips. I was like, where do you get those? Vending machine. How do you get it? He found the middle school like break. I don't know how he got out of his class, went up to all of them, said hey, I need a dollar. Until he found a girl that would give him a dollar.

[Si Robertson]

That's why he's got a future. When you go to a Christian school, somebody got come off of it like somebody going to be nice.

[Willie Robertson]

He's either going to run a non profit or this is a hoot.

[Jase Robertson]

During Trump's speech. Oh boy. The cameras are all looking at all across this thing. I thought Carter was there.

[Si Robertson]

Why was there somebody hanging?

[Jase Robertson]

I serious, there was a kid on the front row and he was trapping and it looks just like Carter. I thought I said that's Carter. I said, I can't believe Carter's there.

[John Chris]

How did he get in bed?

[Si Robertson]

About eight.

[Willie Robertson]

I don't know what he did after that.

[John Chris]

Let me come through.

[Jase Robertson]

It was a good look alike. I thought it was really him. Boy, it went by and I said, God, was that Carter?

[Willie Robertson]

I didn't see it.

[Si Robertson]

I didn't, I didn't watch it.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh no.

[John Chris]

But the kids these days, they're probably not, you know, they're probably not disciplining these kids. They just take away their iPad or something like that. Not like how when you were growing up.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, we didn't Even you know, if we had a toy, we made it.

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

We didn't have any money.

[John Chris]

And dirt. Playing with dirt and sticks.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[John Chris]

These spoiled kids.

[Jase Robertson]

It was homemade.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

He pointed at me.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, I'm two and a half years in. We got no iPads yet.

[Jase Robertson]

No, no, I know it's gone.

[Si Robertson]

I know. It's coming, right?

[Willie Robertson]

We didn't have them either. We were too good for them.

[Jase Robertson]

Barrel pistol that Wide Earth was famous for.

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah. You had one of those?

[Jase Robertson]

We had one of them.

[John Chris]

How much was it? How much did it cost?

[Jase Robertson]

Nothing. We made it.

[John Chris]

Oh, you made it.

[Jase Robertson]

But we made it. And then cut a round.

[John Chris]

Rubber band.

[Jase Robertson]

Out of a inner tube and, you know, and I like. And the long barrel we have was like 24 inches.

[John Chris]

That's the way back then, yo.

[Jase Robertson]

And had. It had a safety pin.

[John Chris]

Yeah. What year?

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, this is in, what, 50, what, 60? We made our own darts out of kitchen matches. Okay. With a needle and paper. Wow. Had dart wars. Okay.

[John Chris]

That's the future.

[Jase Robertson]

You'd run around in the house. In the Robinson house. All you would hear was, ah, well, he just got darted, you know, he'd come running by you, bare back, little needle stuck in his back.

[John Chris]

Oh, my. That seems not safe.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, it was. It was wild.

[Si Robertson]

Well, they turned out all right.

[John Chris]

Look at it.

[Si Robertson]

I said, hey, I don't know. Man's wearing Christmas tree socks.

Anything you've seen in a truck stop.

[Jase Robertson]

That's kind of. What's the biggest crowd in where?

[John Chris]

Biggest crowd I ever performed. Oh, I did driver intros at the NASCAR race at Dallas Texas motor speedway. Probably 150,000. I wasn't doing jokes.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, congrats.

[John Chris]

I mean, I was introducing the drivers, but that was the most.

[Si Robertson]

You want to know a sad truth to that race? We sponsored it for three years. Who did we do? It was The Duck Commander 500.

[John Chris]

It was.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Never, never buy the John Chris 500. Because they don't say that on TV unless you.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

And they even had. They had. Had a lady make me a.

[John Chris]

That was The Duck Commander 5 Elvis for three years.

[Jase Robertson]

Yo.

Wow.

[Willie Robertson]

We thought we were a big deal for a couple days.

[John Chris]

I'm on Sunday.

[Si Robertson]

Was the race over on Sunday?

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. See, the three years we had it, every one of them was over on Monday.

[John Chris]

Oh, Monday.

[Si Robertson]

It rained. I mean, I was like.

[Willie Robertson]

Because NASCAR drivers can't drive in the rain.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Which I think would be way more interesting.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, yeah. A lot more fun. A lot more wrecks.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Or slow down.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, no, you can't slow down on a racetrack.

[John Chris]

You gotta navigate around it.

[Jase Robertson]

You gotta. Hey, you gotta put.

[John Chris]

Yeah. That's not the. You didn't see the. You didn't see the ROI on sponsoring a NASCAR race.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, we figured it out.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

It's not necessarily what the pamphlet says, but.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

We didn't get as much as Coke did, I can tell you.

[John Chris]

Yeah. I'll tell you that. Yeah. A lot of time.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, I just got sad.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

That's why I sell worms now.

[Willie Robertson]

No, side doesn't work.

[John Chris]

What would I do Internship at Duck Commander. What do you turn around to people's like, you know, do some hunting, do some. Who would I shadow?

[Si Robertson]

No, you come with me.

[Willie Robertson]

Nobody here really works.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that would probably be the man you would go.

[Si Robertson]

If you want to go hunting, fishing though, come, come holler at me. Yeah.

[John Chris]

What's Willie? And he's right. He's a CEO.

[Si Robertson]

That's a good question.

[Jase Robertson]

Here.

[John Chris]

Where is he?

[Jase Robertson]

He's out on the road all the time.

[Si Robertson]

He'd been in London for a while.

[John Chris]

Doing what?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, they were at some conference or something. I don't really.

[Willie Robertson]

Willie's career, it's. It's it's weird because now he's just watching his daughter work like how most.

[John Chris]

People watch Little League. Yeah, he's just.

[Willie Robertson]

He's just watching Sadie.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, he ain't. He ain't doing that. He's doing a lot on himself. We actually, you know, me, him, Corey, when we went to San Quentin for God, behind bars, doing that kind of thing.

[John Chris]

Yeah, no, yeah, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Which is. Yeah, it's wild.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

He said, oh, jail.

[Willie Robertson]

I did go to Angola with Willie recently. Yeah, well, he's just trying to stay out of jail by going to jail.

[John Chris]

Well, don't you think the. The, like, it's what. What has happened in the. In the past with Doug Dynasty is the past. And the future is not, like, to keep. Like, it's all evolved, and everybody's like, there's new people and there's new.

[Willie Robertson]

That's like a new show, I guess.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

The revival. The revival.

[Willie Robertson]

You want to be on it?

[Jase Robertson]

It's actually funny.

[John Chris]

I bet it is.

[Jase Robertson]

No, no, it is. Okay. Because, you know, like, Sadie and John Luke literally grew up on Duck Dinosaur.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

They was kids.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, now they're married and got kids.

[John Chris]

Yep.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, it's a hoot.

[John Chris]

They got how many generations? Four. Five.

[Jase Robertson]

Four.

[Si Robertson]

If you go on Corey's side, it's a lot more because they actually take care of themselves and live a little.

[Willie Robertson]

We live longer on our side of the street.

[Si Robertson]

Robertsons, they. They expire about 80. Seems to be. 80 ain't bad.

[Jase Robertson]

Shoots for a Honda. Me and my woman shooting for a Honda.

[Si Robertson]

But speaking of your woman, So I do want to make you aware of something. I know you've been all tied up in watching the news. Right. Have you seen the news that one of your. Your celebrity crushes is you about to.

[Willie Robertson]

Say on the market? Because that's.

[Si Robertson]

She's not on the market yet, but Dolly Parton's husband did pass away, so I'm just saying, eventually, she's going to be available.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, hey, I mean, I'm sorry to hear that, because they had a good relationship. Okay.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

What are you trying to make a joke?

[Jase Robertson]

He was a good man, okay? Number one, the dude was a good man because he didn't, you know, she done her thing as a star. Superstar.

[Willie Robertson]

He's a genius.

[John Chris]

He supported her.

[Si Robertson]

Oh. To be fair, I never knew she.

[Jase Robertson]

Was married, but he never went anywhere with her.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm pretty sure he, like.

[John Chris]

Oh, that's right.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I never knew she was married.

[Willie Robertson]

Whenever concrete for a living, he did.

[John Chris]

Really?

[Jase Robertson]

I'm pretty sure he was a working man.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

He was out there.

[Jase Robertson]

Just a normal dude married to a beautiful Dolly Parton.

[Willie Robertson]

So you didn't have to not make him beautiful.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he was probably.

[Jase Robertson]

I told. I said he was.

[Willie Robertson]

You can't be ugly and be married to.

[Jase Robertson]

No, he was a great dude, but.

[John Chris]

It'S one of those things. So, like, if he lays concrete, you go, let me do three days a week.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

You know what I'm saying? You're like, he's at work at me. He goes, well, let me loosen up this sketch.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. You know, I probably.

[Willie Robertson]

He paved asphalt. He ended up owning the business. So other people were doing the paving.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

At some point.

[John Chris]

Yeah. You got to own it.

[Si Robertson]

But asphalt's a good business. Be in. Buddy of mine does that.

[John Chris]

I like those businesses where you don't have to. You know, some people that are there, they. They got money around, and you're like, well, I don't think you're checking the p. L. Like, I think they're. If this business is bombing for 10 years.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, but they're gonna be okay.

[John Chris]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

But, hey, he was the type of guy that.

[John Chris]

He worked hard.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, he was a public relations man.

[Willie Robertson]

And he could go to Dollywood and nobody.

[Jase Robertson]

He kept everybody happy.

[John Chris]

Yeah, that's true. I never heard. I've never seen. I don't even know what he looks like.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

He would probably just go to Dollywood and not pay and just ride rides and go home.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, no.

[Willie Robertson]

That's what I would have done.

[Jase Robertson]

No, she said it. He's kind of an introvert.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

That. You know, and it worked great for their relationship. Yeah.

[John Chris]

When do you remember when you first came to discover Dolly Parton?

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, good. That's when I kid.

[John Chris]

When you like.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, it was when she was on the family show. Man, I never can think of that guy's name. The guy she started out with. Porter Wagner. Porter Wagner on his show. Okay. That's when you know. Yeah.

[John Chris]

And who would be the Dolly Parton of today? Taylor Swift. Oh, Taylor Swift. I'm with you. Oh, yeah. What? Yes.

[Willie Robertson]

Turn off your microphone.

[Jase Robertson]

No, Taylor Swift ain't even. Look, Taylor Swift ain't even in Dolly Parton's league.

[Willie Robertson]

She ain't got no theme park.

[John Chris]

She is a billionaire.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, I know she's got the money, but, hey, she ain't the person, okay. She ain't got the personality. That's my humble opinion.

[John Chris]

Yeah, because remember back in the. Like, you ever see those videos about, like, Michael Jackson and then people passing out, like, I Don't think you see celebrity's not like that anymore.

[Si Robertson]

No.

[John Chris]

Where people are, like, couldn't. You know, people, like, couldn't handle themselves and they would pass out.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

You should have been around in 2015 with this old women just dropping left and right.

[John Chris]

She gone.

[Jase Robertson]

No, no. I had a lady, she was fixing to have a baby.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Attracts somewhere around Interstate 40.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, she was. She was, you know. And I said. They told me about it. And I said, hey, idiots, why didn't you tell me? I said, hey, have she owns a stretcher? And I said, yeah. I said, hey, pick her up. Bring her up here on stage.

[Si Robertson]

Whale her on in here, buddy.

[Jase Robertson]

I said, bring on in here where I can meet her. And then she go to the hospital and have her baby where she's got people taking care of her.

[Si Robertson]

As long as she names it Silas, I don't care.

[Jase Robertson]

Look. Hey, there was. That was. That was in the summertime, like in August.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

And it was hot, and people were in line passing out.

[John Chris]

Oh, she had a. She had the baby then.

[Jase Robertson]

And then they had told me. I didn't. Was supposed to be there for like three hours. Well, I said, hey, look, what are y'all talking about? They said, well, it's over. And I said, no, it ain't over.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I said, look at the line.

[John Chris]

I said, hey, that's a man of the people.

[Jase Robertson]

I said, hey, I'll be here. Hey, when we get through the line. When it's all. That's when it's over.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

The guy that was running the venue, he said, why did you do that? And I said, it be going back to the stupid hotel and sitting in the room.

[John Chris]

Y'all are joking, but that's the truest thing I've ever heard.

[Willie Robertson]

Look.

[John Chris]

Look up. Garth Brooks. He did. I thought that was a song he'd know. Garth Brooks did a 24 hour meet and greet.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, no, no. He had. He had a catheter put in where he could just pee in.

[John Chris]

Yes. Look it up. I think it was at the CMA festival outside Nashville. Army Willie did a 24 hour meet and greet.

[Jase Robertson]

That's right. It signs for 24 hours. George never got out of his chair.

[John Chris]

That's unbelievable.

[Si Robertson]

Can you imagine that catheter put in? Yeah, I just get up and go take a leak.

[Jase Robertson]

No, he just said, I ain't leaving here. I'm signing all that.

[John Chris]

Everything. He's signing everything.

[Si Robertson]

Was that Garth Brooks?

[Jase Robertson]

Garth Brooks Is a man of the people. Like, he's talking about.

[John Chris]

Yeah. Works.

[Jase Robertson]

And I am, too.

[John Chris]

And he would say Garth Brooks while he's looking up. He remember. I remember even now, because he does stadiums now. He goes, I understand the sacrifice it takes to get out and come to a show. And you pay $40. And you worked hard for that $40. I'm gonna give you the best.

[Jase Robertson]

You're gonna meet me, I'll stay.

[John Chris]

I'm gonna give. I don't know if he meets people now, but he goes, I'm gonna give you everything I got for the next two hours.

[Jase Robertson]

And he does.

[John Chris]

And he does still.

[Jase Robertson]

He does. Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Garth Brooks. According to artificial intelligence of Google accounts, there's not much info about a catheter meet and greet with Garth Brooks, but here's some related information about Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.

[John Chris]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

I don't need to know about catheter stuff on them.

[Willie Robertson]

Who did a cat.

[Si Robertson]

I would like to revisit the. If you today's Dolly, would it not be our hometown girl?

[Willie Robertson]

Who?

[Si Robertson]

Lainey Wilson. Like, she from just down the street. I mean, if you had to pick, like, a today Dolly with that personality.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, no, that's a good choice.

[Si Robertson]

You know, I'm just saying, that's a good choice.

[Willie Robertson]

Lauren Daigle.

[Jase Robertson]

She's like that. Okay. She's like that.

[John Chris]

Christian Dolly.

[Jase Robertson]

She's a people person.

[Si Robertson]

Christian Dolly, Lauren Daigle. Lauren's good people.

[John Chris]

Lauren's from down here, too.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Lafayette girl.

[John Chris]

[Willie Robertson]

Wait, And I went to Angola with Lauren, remember? And I was like, hey, she might actually get to sit next to Jesus the whole time we're in heaven because.

[John Chris]

Dude, and Theo's from here.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

Louisiana got everybody.

[Si Robertson]

Well, we ain't got a lot going on, but we got personality.

[John Chris]

But the people that do come out.

[Willie Robertson]

Of here, we're just as weird. I didn't know Theo Vaughn was from here.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, he's from Covington.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Makes a lot of sense.

[Willie Robertson]

That adds up with everybody I've ever met from Covington.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. When north wind blows, he smells New Orleans. So, you know, I mean, like, Louisiana.

[John Chris]

Got it. You got a lot of good exports.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

I forgot about Laney.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. She's from just down the road. Not. Not too far. Baskin, Louisiana.

[Jase Robertson]

We went through that when we went to Honey Hill.

[John Chris]

We played basketball. Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Honey bright.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

But she's good people.

[John Chris]

But I think. I think she gotta have a little bit more. She just came on the scene.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

For 50 years.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I'm saying if you had to pick one that could currently get to that. Okay, I.

[Willie Robertson]

So like, what are we trying to.

[Si Robertson]

Like the way she handles herself? Yeah.

[John Chris]

Yeah. I feel like Britney Spears was on her way, but.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. And then that happened. And then she did it again. Yeah, I've got it again. Beyonce, this ain't Texas. Come on now.

[Willie Robertson]

I just had people get super.

[John Chris]

I'm sorry.

[Willie Robertson]

I did that on purpose.

[John Chris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Somebody just wrecked a truck.

[John Chris]

You know the. If you ever watch your analytics on YouTube where you can see where people dropped off.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. That just happened.

[John Chris]

Yeah, that is. Everybody was like, steady, steady.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Don't use any good material from fourth.

[Willie Robertson]

Like, I brought up Beyonce. It's over.

[John Chris]

It's got to be. It's. It's got to be Taylor Swift.

[Si Robertson]

Really?

[John Chris]

Today's beyond today's Dolly. Dolly.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm not going to Taylor.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't.

[Si Robertson]

Look, I don't have the personality.

[John Chris]

Says no. Then.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I, I just. I mean, you don't see her out there in front of people doing the stuff that Dolly did.

[John Chris]

Like, Dolly would. Dolly would drive. Drive guys crazy back in the day, huh?

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

Yeah. You didn't know what was going on. Yeah. You never get them started. You never seen something like Dolly Parton.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I mean, how could you have?

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Martin.

[Si Robertson]

Yo, buddy.

[Willie Robertson]

Heard it before.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Get a free phone.

[Si Robertson]

Just come over here, free phone, sign a contract.

[Willie Robertson]

It's like there's people in alleys just trying to give you a free phone. But everybody's trying to sucker you into a free phone from big wireless. It comes with a lot of fine print.

[Si Robertson]

Martin does it.

[Willie Robertson]

They're requiring you to sign up for four lines, plus activation fees, plus this, plus that. Next thing you know, know you're spending.

[Jase Robertson]

Three times the money you could have just got to go.

[Willie Robertson]

I guarantee that free phone ain't three. But there's a better way. PureTalk, our sponsor and my wireless company, has a much better offer. With a qualifying plan of just $35 a month, you can get the brand new Samsung Galaxy A26 for free. This phone has virtually indestructible gorilla glass and captures beautiful wide angle photos with next generation camera lenses. All you need to do is switch to PureTalk. For just $35 a month, you can get unlimited talk, text and 15 gigs of data with mobile hotspot, all on America's most dependable 5G network. I made the switch. It was easy. Kept my phone number. Couldn't be easier. And of course we love to highlight all that Pure talk does for veterans. Sigh. That's always been important to you, right?

[Jase Robertson]

That's the thing.

[Willie Robertson]

These guys are donating money helping veterans out every chance they get. So go to PureTalk.com veterans to make the switch again. That's PureTalk.com duck to claim your free Samsung Galaxy with qualifying plan when you switch to PureTalk Wireless by Americans for Americans.

[Si Robertson]

I want to know where this idea. Because now. You know on social media, I saw you have people screen record their YouTube algorithm and then you would roast them.

[John Chris]

Where'd you.

[Si Robertson]

Where'd you come up with that one? That was.

[John Chris]

That y'all.

[Si Robertson]

That was rich.

[John Chris]

Oh, that's. Yeah. I said we've watched you do it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

We're not doing it here.

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah, no, we're not.

[Si Robertson]

We're not into copycat.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm saying I'm not showing you mine. Yeah, you can roast.

[John Chris]

Let me see. Let me see your. Your Instagram. I'll take a look at it.

[Willie Robertson]

My Instagram's weird, man.

[Si Robertson]

You hop on my YouTube algorithm. You're about to see rubble and crew, bulldozers, excavators, my YouTube algorithm.

[John Chris]

A good man. That's a good man right there.

[Si Robertson]

Two and a half.

[Jase Robertson]

That's a little bit of genius. To do what he said. He's done.

[Willie Robertson]

Mine's willie. People jump roping and people fishing. And I'm the only guy with that one.

[John Chris]

Yeah. The one guy who was just all. It was all like dewalt power tools. I got this guy. It was all. I was like this. That's wild that he's got a thing. Yeah. A fetish.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

What do you think? Oh, my God.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no.

[John Chris]

Yeah. Whose kid is this?

[Si Robertson]

This is my. Well, you can tell on that one.

[Jase Robertson]

Hey, it's two good looking young men.

[John Chris]

Hey, what's up, brother?

[Si Robertson]

Come here, bud.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[John Chris]

They just run on. How's it going? Good to see you.

[Si Robertson]

You say hi to Mr. John.

[John Chris]

What's up, brother?

[Willie Robertson]

These are the other stars of our show.

[John Chris]

Is that a truck?

[Jase Robertson]

All I got to say about you, huh? Them are two good looking young man.

[John Chris]

Good looking kids.

[Jase Robertson]

You darling. Oh, they don't take after that.

[John Chris]

Get on in.

[Si Robertson]

Nice avenue. You just gonna run around now? That's what twins look like, man. I mean, they don't really look. That's. That's. Yeah.

[John Chris]

Be careful of their names.

[Si Robertson]

That is Jackson there. And the. The camera shy one is whaling.

[John Chris]

Whaling.

[Si Robertson]

We got a future politician. He'll go to. He'll go to anybody, anytime, anywhere. Then he's got some serious trust issues.

[John Chris]

Yeah. He does. That's pretty easy.

[Willie Robertson]

He was like, pick me up. But now I'm angry that you did.

[John Chris]

What's up, brother?

[Willie Robertson]

I'm gonna look. Hit it. Hit it. Knock it down. Knock it down. Alex from Ohio.

[Si Robertson]

All right, Emails in.

[Willie Robertson]

You're from Ohio?

[Jase Robertson]

Ish.

[John Chris]

Family is land. Yep.

[Willie Robertson]

Was wondering what that sound or smell is that brings back your best and worst memories.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, man.

[Willie Robertson]

I don't. I don't know why I thought paper mail would be. Oh, but, yeah, we're kind of a paper mill town.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we're.

[Willie Robertson]

Did you smell us when you arrived?

[John Chris]

They. They made me. They said, windows up. I said. I said, can I put the windows down? They go, now we gotta wait till we get on campus.

[Si Robertson]

Of course, that could have been just a matter of personal safety.

[Willie Robertson]

Were you at the airport?

[John Chris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

It was more about guns.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, and stuff.

[John Chris]

They, you know, I, I today. What?

[Willie Robertson]

I do have something we need to talk about.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, okay.

[Willie Robertson]

But go ahead.

[John Chris]

No, I got into. I. When I walked past, and this might be showing my cards a little bit when I walked past that. The Delta Sky Lounge.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

You got a certain smell in there. And it smells like it's damp. Rich. Rich. You go, oh, that's the smell of money. The Delta. The Sky Lounge, they got some kind.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, in Atlanta.

[John Chris]

Diffuser. No, it's everywhere. It's all the same. It's everywhere. And you walk past, they go, I've.

[Willie Robertson]

Been an airport in a long time.

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah. You haven't?

[Willie Robertson]

No.

[Si Robertson]

Well, speaking of feeling Rich, I'm an American Airlines guy.

[Willie Robertson]

Did you know we have a zoo here in Monroe, John?

[John Chris]

I didn't know that.

[Willie Robertson]

We do. It's very nice, very fancy. Martin, have you ever heard this? I was telling some people that every once in a while. We've made fun of our zoo here on this podcast, which isn't nice and we shouldn't do it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, well, it tries.

[Willie Robertson]

But then I was. I was sent an article by a friend of mine that said, no, you need to read this on the podcast, and you need to take your kids to the zoo. A pack of dogs killed four animals at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo in Monroe.

[John Chris]

No way.

[Willie Robertson]

Five dogs entered the zoo Thursday morning around 8am Employees shot and killed two of the dogs as they were attacking the animals. Three antelope and one Gowanico, similar to a llama, were killed. Monroe police believe the dogs were pit bulls and had escaped from a home. The zoo is working to find the weak spots in their fence and secure the perimeter. Welcome to Monroe, John.

[Si Robertson]

They're killing the dogs.

[Willie Robertson]

No, the dogs are killing the zoo animals.

[John Chris]

Reading the dogs. Okay, so they didn't. The dogs were at the zoo.

[Willie Robertson]

No, dogs got into the zoo.

[John Chris]

They were. Well, where are they? Where? Wild dogs?

[Willie Robertson]

No, they're just regular dogs.

[John Chris]

They were eating animals. Dogs don't eat animals.

[Si Robertson]

They must have been hungry.

[John Chris]

A rabbit.

[Willie Robertson]

The dogs got into. Which. If dogs can get in, why can't the lions get out? Out?

[Si Robertson]

Oh, that's probably potentially a better point.

[Willie Robertson]

But the dogs got into the zoo and killed a couple antelopes and guanacos.

[Si Robertson]

You've never seen an antelope before. Maybe they thought it had a squeaker in it. You know, like. Like toy. You know, whenever they. You know, first thing a dog does most time, get a toy, he goes get squeaker. Maybe he's trying to get squeaker out.

[Willie Robertson]

Of it, you know, I'd never heard this story.

[Si Robertson]

I hadn't either.

[Willie Robertson]

Somebody was telling me about it last night because I was telling him how there's a black panther at our zoo.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

Where is the suit?

[Si Robertson]

Over there.

[Jase Robertson]

Head toward Mississippi.

[Si Robertson]

Over there.

[John Chris]

I'd imagine if all the animals were on, like, the Serengeti and the African plains, and they all get, you know, round up and they're on the plane, they're looking at their boarding pass. You go, dude, I got San Diego Zoo. I got Columbus. What'd you get, Monroe?

[Si Robertson]

The Louisiana Purchase Garden.

[John Chris]

I got.

[Si Robertson]

It says you like that poor octopus.

[Willie Robertson]

There's a reason them antelopes couldn't get away from some dogs. They were not at the top of the antelope.

[John Chris]

What'd you get, Monroe?

[Willie Robertson]

We're gonna get in trouble by our own town.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, our zoo probably takes that little. That little part of the Statue of Liberty. It give me your sick, and you're shut in. Probably a little too far, you know, like, it probably. That's probably the. That's probably the critters we get. Then when they get well, they go somewhere else. You know, the one cool animal we.

[Willie Robertson]

Had was an elephant, and they shipped it off to Nashville.

[Si Robertson]

Nashville, yeah. Ours.

[John Chris]

We took it.

[Si Robertson]

Ours is way more like a rehab facility. Yeah. You know, you could. You could call it Short Stop. Yeah. You call it, like, therapy for animals.

[John Chris]

Like, that's been funded. It's being funded by an outside source.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. There you go. That's.

[John Chris]

You got a rabbit in here, a squirrel.

[Si Robertson]

We did have some part of the dogs.

[Willie Robertson]

I don't.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we did have some deer, like.

[John Chris]

And I bet it also. They were probably Hyenas. But they didn't know how to categorize them.

[Willie Robertson]

No, they were pit bulls. They were just friendly neighborhood pit bulls.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. You know, that's the wildest thing I've ever heard.

[John Chris]

Why don't you bring that up first? Like, I don't really have anything.

[Willie Robertson]

I forgot about it.

[John Chris]

I don't really have it.

[Si Robertson]

John's working on a Shreveport set list, right?

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

It's like, well, at least y'all aren't from Monroe. Let me tell you what's happening over there.

[John Chris]

Y'all been to the zoo? I would tell that when I come to town.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. The people at Shreveport laugh at us anyway, so. Well, I probably. What's funny, though, I would bet a lot of the people that in your Shreveport crowd are going to be from here. That's what's funny. We're going to make the. They're going to go to the big city.

[Willie Robertson]

You guys know it. We've talked about it. We're not health experts. We're all dads in here trying to live a healthier life because we want to be there for our wife, our kids. And we got another one. Omega 3s are crucial for brain and heart health. And I want my brain and my heart to be ready for my children to grow up and have a dad they can count on. But Omega 3s can be hard to get from food alone, and that's why we're talking about AG1 and their Omega 3 bundle. The typical American diet does not contain enough Omega 3s, and each serving of AG1 Omega 3 provides over 2,000 milligrams of the most bioavailable forms of Omega 3s. And you know the best part about it? It's sustainably sourced from wild caught fish. And a hint of lemon in the formula makes it a little easier to incorporate. So it's. You don't get that fishy aftertaste. AG1 Omega 3 is a foundational nutrition soft gel supplement that complements your daily AG1 with a high quality formulation of Omega 3 fish oil, making it easy to get the additional essential fatty acids you need each and every day. We've been rolling with AG1 for a long time, so this is just another great product in their line. Phil, you excited to test it out?

[John Chris]

I am excited about it.

[Si Robertson]

I drank my AG1 this morning. I actually mixed it up, put it in the freezer, left it for about.

[John Chris]

20 minutes, and then drank it on.

[Willie Robertson]

My way to work. And now we're going to add AG1 Omega 3s in, and you gonna Be rolling like the karate kid over there.

[John Chris]

I'm excited about it.

[Willie Robertson]

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 you're going to 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. I texted Allison, by the way. May 10th. She said, what is May 10th? It said, John Cristian, Shreveport. Her response was, ah, I'll go.

[John Chris]

And we don't have any more tickets left, actually. Yes. Locked up.

[Willie Robertson]

She doesn't think stand up comedy's funny.

[John Chris]

Who?

[Willie Robertson]

My wife.

[John Chris]

What she does. Wait. Nobody.

[Willie Robertson]

Nobody.

[John Chris]

Just doesn't the whole genre. She's out.

[Willie Robertson]

She doesn't think I'm funny. Which I'm. You know, give or take.

[John Chris]

But you're funny.

[Willie Robertson]

Thank you.

[John Chris]

You got a good sense of humor.

[Willie Robertson]

Anyways, you're loud. Like, we tried to watch who was it.

[Si Robertson]

It.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh. Bergazzi. And she never laughed.

[John Chris]

But she was entertained by it. Or. No. She's like, what's the point of this?

[Willie Robertson]

We turned it off 25 minutes in because she was like, let's watch something else.

[John Chris]

All right. If Nate can't get her.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

That's.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm bringing you the toughest.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

You've ever had.

[John Chris]

You can't get her if. Yet. We're done.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, she'll be fine, though, because, like, well, Brittany. Brittany will be there and Brittany is.

[Willie Robertson]

Brittany will laugh enough.

[Si Robertson]

She's entertained. Right? Yeah. Like, so we're gonna.

[Willie Robertson]

If you can make Allison laugh this you. That'll be probably the most impressive feat you've ever.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. We're gonna have to have an Allison cam.

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

She doesn't laugh.

[John Chris]

I'll take it as a challenge.

[Si Robertson]

There you go.

[Willie Robertson]

That is the challenge.

[John Chris]

What kind of topics she like? But she like memes or anything? Does she send stuff to you?

[Willie Robertson]

No bread.

[John Chris]

Okay.

[Si Robertson]

You're gonna have to brush up on your stay at home Mom.

[Willie Robertson]

Sourdough references.

[John Chris]

Sourdough.

[Willie Robertson]

Bring back the enneagram stuff. Actually, she'll be offended by that. That.

[John Chris]

Yeah. So she doesn't, like, see a meme during the day. Like, this is so funny. Look at this.

[Willie Robertson]

Sent me something the other day.

[John Chris]

Yes.

[Willie Robertson]

And I was like, it's not that funny.

[John Chris]

We gotta find this. We gotta find that. The sense of humor. We'll dial it in.

[Si Robertson]

It'll be there.

[John Chris]

Yeah. She thinks what? Stuff the kids do is funny.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, she thinks.

[John Chris]

Yeah. So she got a good sense of humor. Yeah. Might just be us.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. This brings me back to Trump. So going in a dress.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Everybody in there was laughing.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, everybody was laughing except the Democrats.

[Willie Robertson]

Allison's the Democrat of the stand up comedy world. Not laughing.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, my goodness.

[John Chris]

Anyways, Trump had some. Trump had some. Some bangers last night.

[Si Robertson]

What was your favorite one?

[John Chris]

He had a couple of good jokes. Yeah, I didn't see was good.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I mean, you gotta think, like, as a comic. Right? I just. Curiosity sake. Y'all. Y'all are. Y'all are pretty happy. Like, the cancel culture stuff's dying out, right? Because y'all can make jokes again or.

[John Chris]

Well, okay, so what? It's the best time. The best. One of the best shows I ever had was in 2021 in Portland, because Oregon. Yes.

[Willie Robertson]

Out there.

[John Chris]

What's that?

[Willie Robertson]

Are you.

[John Chris]

Barely. But I was, like, going. And I was like, hey, guys, like, the war is over. Like, we. We don't need to. We. No one around the country is still doing this. Nobody's all this. But you need, like I always say, the best. My best shows are in blue cities surrounded by red. Because everybody. It needs some, like, parody.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. You need the crowd to fight against each other.

[John Chris]

No, not all of them, but like, a couple.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. A mixed deal.

[John Chris]

You need everybody to drive in from the suburbs that is annoyed by that town too. Yeah, that's the best. That's the best. Those are the best shows.

[Si Robertson]

Well, Shreveport ought to be a hit.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, you're gonna crush it in Shreveport. Yeah, for sure.

[John Chris]

It's already sold out. I think that show's already sold out.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

Because there needs to be something. Like, I remember the guys from Hillsong, the church. Rest in peace. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't say that.

[Si Robertson]

But I remember our Instagram reel for the day.

[John Chris]

Huh. I remember they said they go, hey, like, if I go, I should tour in Australia. And he goes, I don't know if it would work because we. We like, we speak. We, like, roast each other and are very, like, derogatory towards each other in a fun. Like, it's not controversial. Like, does that make sense? It needs to be like, speech is speech. When Speech is so protected, you can just like, barely step across the line. And that's comedy.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

So back now, if everything's opened up, you just have to be smart and clever and intelligent. You can't just say it used to be. I mean, like, when everything was so protected, you'd be like, I don't think the vaccine or. And then. And now that's common knowledge now.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

You just got us flagged. But.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we gotta. Now you find out who's got the true talent.

[John Chris]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Versus just going across the line.

[Si Robertson]

And I can confirm on the few Australian people I've met and that I know they are very direct.

[John Chris]

Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

[Si Robertson]

Very blunt. Yeah. There's no.

[Willie Robertson]

They use words I didn't know know existed.

[John Chris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And they use some words like, wow.

[Willie Robertson]

I didn't know you. I'm not gonna go that many times in a row. Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And about that many different things, like here, it kind of unidirectional. It just means thing. But like. Yeah, it's. It's wild, man.

[John Chris]

Well, my. I think my whole show is like, these people that are, I would say, family friendly or grew up like this. Where we grew up, where you weren't allowed to cuss in the house.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

You weren't allowed to. So won a small, like. Like, joke in that direction or like, across the line about something is like, I can't believe he said that.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

Or like, if I was doing in front of some other comics crowd, they'd be like, I don't even get why. Like, it's got. It has to be. The line has to be drawn back so it can be across the line.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I get you. Yeah. No, it's kind of like the other night when I was in that tattoo.

[John Chris]

Parlor and say, we can say whatever you want in there.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that's what I'm talking about, though. But see, these guys from Israel came to the United States to do tattoos, and it's all Jesus inspired tattoos. Right.

[John Chris]

Y.

[Si Robertson]

So you go in this tattoo parlor where admittedly, doesn't seem to be a lot of Jesus going on, but for that night, it was. Everybody from the local churches is up in there.

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Them. Thanks. So it was like this weird dichotomy of crowds.

[John Chris]

Funny.

[Si Robertson]

It's always. And it was observationally funny for me to just watch, like, this is happening. Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

When the Jews bring Jesus to Dallas, it always works out.

[Si Robertson]

I know. It really does. And then they freehand it and they Stamp it. And it's a kind of a. It's a. Well, Denton, not Dallas. Because how many cities are in that.

[Willie Robertson]

City but how many countries in that country, man. You go to Squirty Palace?

[Si Robertson]

Who? No, I didn't go to Dairy Palace.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh man.

[Si Robertson]

I stopped at the gas station across street from it. But I was.

[Willie Robertson]

You didn't even go to BUC EE's?

[Si Robertson]

No, I didn't. I was. It's too long of a drive, man. I try and get home here to Dallas. Yeah. What? Yeah. Denton. That's another hour, five hours. Yeah. Five hours from here to Denton and back. I mean, didn't stop at Buck. Bucky's. No.

[Willie Robertson]

I thought I knew you, man.

[Si Robertson]

If you'd have seen the traffic, you wouldn't have stopped either. I was just ready to get back to small town usa.

[John Chris]

I got. My merch is in Bucky's.

[Si Robertson]

Is it?

[John Chris]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

No, I stopped in most. I see.

[John Chris]

Everybody goes. They got my books for sale in there. Nowhere else. By the way, Buc EE's sold out.

[Si Robertson]

We were a big hit in Buc EE's for a while too. So that's why this crossing. Those are always so good.

[John Chris]

Yeah. I go to like a. I'm trying to think of a place I would go there. Nobody would know who I am. Go to the county fair. You're our guy. I'm like, oh, all right. Yeah, yeah. It's my people.

[Si Robertson]

That is.

[Willie Robertson]

You're a county fair kind of fell.

[John Chris]

Yeah. I don't. I don't see the Duck Commander sponsoring the crypto conference. You know they sponsor a NASCAR race.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

So they're people.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

It was our people for a year.

[John Chris]

Cryptocurrency or like one of those tech. Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Hunter goes to anime conventions.

[Si Robertson]

I will say the crowd at the Washington State Fair was kind of underwhelming. We did that. That one.

[John Chris]

Yeah, I did that one.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

You been there? Spokane?

[John Chris]

No, it's in.

[Willie Robertson]

It's a weird one.

[John Chris]

In Washington.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Washington state. Yeah. We. We were in Spokane.

[John Chris]

Oh yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. It was. It was a. Yeah. The red that were surrounding the blue didn't show up.

[John Chris]

Blue surrounded by purple.

[Si Robertson]

And it was me, Willie and Sa and Johnny D and John Luke and Guy. There was too many.

[Willie Robertson]

Remember when they said who they should have kicked out? We needed to get rid of about eight of us.

Let do it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[John Chris]

What were you doing on stage? A meet and greet or something?

[Jase Robertson]

I was on stage.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we were on stage. People interviewing us, asking questions.

[Jase Robertson]

That's why?

[Willie Robertson]

It was an eight person meet and greet. It really went well.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

That's why I told people that I was a. A space disease.

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah. There you go.

[Willie Robertson]

Checks out.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, there you go.

[John Chris]

Boom.

[Si Robertson]

But anyway, well, it's into some. Yeah. You want to close with a Bible verse? We can let John have it. No.

[John Chris]

Oh, shoot.

[Si Robertson]

I don't want to put you on.

[John Chris]

Go. What do you guys normally do? One?

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. We end with a Bible verse.

[Si Robertson]

We always close with one.

[Willie Robertson]

I got you.

[John Chris]

Go ahead.

[Willie Robertson]

Hebrews 12. 2. Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. No matter how great the American flag is, which it is, and we love it. The cross is even better because I know we got a bunch of Irish people and Canadians and all that listening. Look at the cross first, then them. Star Spangled Banner on your roof.

[Si Robertson]

Amen. Put it on your roof. Wear it on your heart, everywhere. We'll see y'all next time. John, thank you so much.

[John Chris]

It's been a pleasure. I'll be back next. Next year.

[Si Robertson]

No, another year.

[John Chris]

Once a year.

[Si Robertson]

What are you doing in May?

[John Chris]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I'll be back. Yeah, I'll be back. What are you doing in May 10th?

[Willie Robertson]

We'll see ya.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we'll see y'all.

[Willie Robertson]
