Willie Robertson
What have you done in the last 20 hours?
Jase Robertson
Well, Liz fell and broke her wrist.
Willie Robertson
He slipped down. Fell, broke her wrist.
John David Robertson
Yep, broke her wrist this morning.
Si Robertson
Are we going?
Jase Robertson
I was. I was asleep in bed and all of her was yelling.
Si Robertson
Ah.
Jase Robertson
Scared the crap out of it when
Si Robertson
she broke her wrist.
John David Robertson
That was your alarm?
Jase Robertson
I thought it was Christine.
Willie Robertson
There you go. But she all right?
Jase Robertson
Yeah, far as I know. She was in surgery the last thing I heard.
Willie Robertson
I got you.
Jase Robertson
Get it.
Si Robertson
Well, prayer is up for Liz.
Jase Robertson
Get it prepared.
Willie Robertson
There you go. Wow. What she slip on? Do you know?
Si Robertson
Banana peel she was taking. I'm sorry?
Jase Robertson
Getting the trash out of the trash can and slipped on plastic somehow on the bag.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Si Robertson
Why are banana pills really not that slippery?
Willie Robertson
I never stepped on one. I've always just been, I guess, convinced they were. I don't.
Jase Robertson
It's. It's easy to slip on stuff when you get older.
Willie Robertson
Oh, now that's a true statement.
John David Robertson
How old is Liz? How old is Liz?
Jase Robertson
You got to be extra careful.
Willie Robertson
No clue.
John David Robertson
No clue.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
I didn't know. Extra.
Si Robertson
Have you been extra careful?
Jase Robertson
I've been since I failed up there in that in Arkansas. That day.
Willie Robertson
Oh, that was a couple years ago now. Yeah. Well, yeah, you learned it.
Jase Robertson
That was painful.
Willie Robertson
You learned that I get in quite such a big hurry, didn't you?
Jase Robertson
Yeah. Slow down, dummy.
Si Robertson
Slow down.
Jase Robertson
Like they say, slow down and smell the roses.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, yeah. Stop and smell them.
John David Robertson
I'm guessing you Were hunting.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, the hunt was over.
Jase Robertson
Did he go Hunt was over. We come into the dock.
Willie Robertson
No, he busted his car.
Jase Robertson
I was stepping out, somebody in the back moved and it was on the bank. Well, when he moved in the back, I stepped out and it wasn't. The bank wasn't there.
Willie Robertson
He gone.
Jase Robertson
It gone about two foot back and I just air.
John David Robertson
Did you go face first or what?
Jase Robertson
I fell right yesterday and what bad was is I fell on that stupid oxymoron machine on my ribs and it was very painful.
John David Robertson
I can believe it.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Yeah. Not ideal for sure.
Jase Robertson
Oh yeah. Slow down.
Willie Robertson
So y' all had an interesting dinner date last night, huh?
Si Robertson
I went on a dinner date with young Hunter last night.
Willie Robertson
How was that?
Si Robertson
Well, I was. I was jogging because it's the thing I do now. It's weird, I don't like it, but I do it anyway. And I looked down at my phone about midway through and Hunter has done tagged me on Instagram.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
And he said. What did you say? You said? Oh, he was making fun of me because I take a picture every time I go to Waffle House.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
And I was like, well, watch this. Which of the three are you at that are between here and my house? And I stopped and had dinner with Hunter. It was a. It was a romantic evening.
Willie Robertson
Did you jog?
Jase Robertson
What did y' all order at the Waffle House?
Si Robertson
I ran. Hunter was done eating by the time I got there and I was all sweaty, so I drank like a gallon
Willie Robertson
of water and drinking a gallon of Waffle House waters. Commitment.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Because those glasses, there's. They put too much ice. Yeah, we don't need that much ice, people.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Like Waffle House is so anti European. They just fill the glass with ice.
Willie Robertson
There you go. Yeah.
Si Robertson
But yeah, we had a good time until the, the, you know, there's always a weird guy in Waffle House.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
By himself. Well, it was Hunter until I showed up.
Willie Robertson
I was about to say, did you? I thought you fixed that problem.
Hunter Robertson
It was someone else before you showed up.
Si Robertson
Oh, really?
Willie Robertson
Okay.
John David Robertson
He just moved down the totem pole.
Si Robertson
Yeah. And so then me and Hun are sitting there eating, talking about life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and all that. And there's, you know, the bar at Waffle House. There's a guy just sitting there.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
He's ordered.
Willie Robertson
And this is at like 6pm yeah.
Si Robertson
Not a lot of crowd at the dinner time. Waffle House, they only have two workers.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Very friendly people. But yeah, this guy turns around and looks at me. He's got A straw in his mouth with the paper still on it, and then just blows it. You know how you like a kid?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
John David Robertson
You at me,
Si Robertson
and I look at Hunter, and Hunter looks at me, and then the guy just swivels back around, and the straw wrapper is just in the middle of the floor. And I'm looking, and I go, hunter, that just happened. Nobody's going to believe this, but we're
Jase Robertson
both here, so don't go to the Malt Waffle House.
Si Robertson
Not the one on this side.
Jase Robertson
Knock you out with one of the off.
Si Robertson
He just looked at me and went,
Willie Robertson
is that the way you challenge somebody to a duel at Waffle House? Like, is that equivalent to a white glove across the face?
Jase Robertson
It was nice. Yeah. I wonder what he had done. If you just walk over gram and just back.
Si Robertson
Problem is chair. I. I think he could have taken me and Hunter both. He was a big guy.
John David Robertson
Oh, really?
Si Robertson
But then me and Hunter just sat there. You know how. You know how when Hunter laughs and he can't breathe, but he's trained to be quiet over there? He got that laughter because he was afraid to just laugh at the guy. So then we just sat there laughing.
Willie Robertson
Oh, man.
John David Robertson
And no words. No words were spoken.
Si Robertson
None. We just. I said, we got to tell the story.
John David Robertson
Left. Who left first, him or y'?
Willie Robertson
All?
Si Robertson
Us. Yeah. I didn't. I had to make sure I get home to my kids. It was. I didn't know what that meant.
John David Robertson
You, like, walk past them?
Si Robertson
No, we were right beside each other, so I was. Once he turned around once. He was deep in them eggs. I said, I got to go.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, wait till he gets the plate of food. And then you're like, I put this one on sea bass. And you just keep going.
Si Robertson
And then Hunter said, well, man, thanks for coming to eat with me. Tried to pay for male. Hunter is a gentleman and a scholar.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Si Robertson
Hunter also learned that's where he met his girlfriend at Waffle House. At. He even showed me what booth. We weren't in that booth. That's a special booth.
Willie Robertson
Oh, wow.
John David Robertson
Reserved for dating.
Willie Robertson
Wow.
Si Robertson
Hunter's got some history at that Waffle House.
Willie Robertson
But that's. I mean, are you talking about, like, when you met her years ago? Yeah. And you still remember? Yeah.
Si Robertson
He's only 25. It wasn't that long ago while it
Willie Robertson
was in high school.
Hunter Robertson
I was 17.
Willie Robertson
Like, I don't know what happened.
Hunter Robertson
I just graduated high school, actually.
Si Robertson
You were 17 when you graduated high school?
John David Robertson
Yeah. Young.
Si Robertson
And what a young pro.
Willie Robertson
How'd you meet her at Waffle House? Was she working there?
John David Robertson
The break. Give us the break. Give us the breakdown.
Hunter Robertson
Quick, quick breakdown. Quick breakdown from a friend of ours. Set us up to go to prom together and she actually backed out. And then after I graduated high school, I reached out to her or something and I think I said something stupid about like.
Si Robertson
We all did. Yeah.
Willie Robertson
I don't know, may the 4th be with you or something.
Si Robertson
Yeah, something like that.
Hunter Robertson
Yeah, it could have been something like that. But she just never stopped talking to me and just kept texting back. I would say, well, it was nice officially talking to you. And then she would keep the conversation going.
Si Robertson
Yeah, Hunter's got game. And then you were like, hey, girl, how you feel about an All Star breakfast?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Is that what she clipped you for? All Star? You remember what y' all ordered?
Hunter Robertson
I think she orders an All Star every time.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
All American woman. You gotta keep her, man.
Willie Robertson
Can't hide money.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Golly.
Si Robertson
What did you eat, by the way? You had already eaten by the cheesesteak bowl.
Willie Robertson
Okay, Cheesesteak bowl.
Si Robertson
I get the healthy option. But what do you laughing at as
Willie Robertson
a guy who ate there every day for a year?
Si Robertson
No, they turned the corner.
Willie Robertson
Turn the. How do you. What. What is healthy?
Si Robertson
The Fiesta chicken protein bowl. Which is the fine eggs and chicken.
Willie Robertson
No taters.
Si Robertson
No, it's. That makes me a little.
Jase Robertson
No hash browns.
Willie Robertson
So you got both. You got both ages of chicken mature and immature?
Si Robertson
Yeah, I got pre born and dead future birds and the breast of another bird.
Willie Robertson
It's pretty good. You ever wonder if they have like a weird family reunion in that bowl? Like. Like, could the mama be the one that, like, are you eating both? Are you just genocide, right?
Si Robertson
Waffle House is in on the protein dinner game.
Willie Robertson
So you.
Si Robertson
52 grams right there.
Willie Robertson
52 gram. And what else is just chicken and eggs? Like, and.
Si Robertson
And some wonderful vegetables.
Willie Robertson
Jalapenos. Oh, yeah, stuff like that. Oh, okay.
Si Robertson
That came from a can.
John David Robertson
How much does that.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yes.
Si Robertson
1325.
Willie Robertson
Without tip.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. No, it's not terrible.
Si Robertson
Wawa is a great place. And now they're a healthy choice to eat.
Willie Robertson
I just don't know that I could walk in there without getting hash browns.
Si Robertson
It has been a difficult and trying
Jase Robertson
to believe you didn't get hash browns.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I can go there and not get a waffle, but it would be tough for me to not get.
Si Robertson
Well, I just ran three miles, so I was nasty and sweaty. So I was like, man, whatever I eat's about to just come out.
Jase Robertson
Always get the same thing. BLT with hash browns.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, that checks out.
Si Robertson
It's such a great American.
Jase Robertson
They make a main BLT and the hash browns are always excellent.
Si Robertson
And anytime you eat there. Yes, you should put it on Instagram. Hunter. He was trying to make fun of me. I said, we about to. We about to do this together.
Willie Robertson
I replied. I replied to a story. Shots fired. That's like, oh, yeah. And then he said, yeah, but in a friendly way. There's really, like a. Just an invitation to dinner is all it really was.
Si Robertson
And I'm not a person that would ever show up. But last night, I had nothing to do for about an hour.
Hunter Robertson
I didn't expect you to, honestly.
Jase Robertson
Hey.
Willie Robertson
And then here he comes.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
What'd you do once he got there? Since you were eating. You're done eating.
Si Robertson
The boy drinks coffee at seven.
Willie Robertson
Six.
Si Robertson
Seven o' clock at night.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Jase Robertson
What was the conversation about?
Si Robertson
Oh, man, we covered everything.
Willie Robertson
Did y' all solve everything?
Si Robertson
This podcast is going places now, boys. Me and Hunter are on the same page creatively, and I. I can't wait for y' all to see what's in store. So what do you think about zebras? I'm just kidding.
Jase Robertson
What about zebras?
Si Robertson
That's just what we normally do.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Now, we talked about every talk about his girlfriend. That, and we were in the booth where me and my dad ate every Tuesday for 13 years, so.
Willie Robertson
Really?
Jase Robertson
Oh, you ate every day?
Si Robertson
Every Tuesday, my dad took. We didn't go Waffle House. We had, like, a break where we went to Cracker Barrel, because, I don't know, it was a weird time. Apparently, I'd switched over to pancakes for a minute.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
But no. My dad took me to breakfast every Tuesday from kindergarten till I graduated high
Jase Robertson
school, so it was really nice of him.
Willie Robertson
That's cool.
John David Robertson
That is cool.
Si Robertson
And now I do it with my kids. The boys are Tuesdays at Waffle House. This morning, I had Chick Fil A.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Si Robertson
Egg white grill. Also, in the protein game. You can do it anywhere now.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, they make you feel better about it.
John David Robertson
Yeah, they make you feel better. I wouldn't agree on, like, you want to race the.
Willie Robertson
Why would I want a foot race? Also, no, I'm wet.
Si Robertson
Why are you wet?
Jase Robertson
Well, how are you on a race? A truck or a car or a motorcycle?
Si Robertson
Foot.
Jase Robertson
Just a foot race.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Ready, set, go.
Willie Robertson
I blow something out, I ain't running.
Si Robertson
I'm in to run it.
Jase Robertson
What are you racing with your own foot?
Si Robertson
Yeah. Oh, it's my New thing. I'm a yogurt.
John David Robertson
10 toes. He's racing with 10 toes.
Si Robertson
I just get off work and start running places.
Jase Robertson
Can you burn a toenail off?
Si Robertson
Well, my ankles always hurt though. Too heavy to do this.
John David Robertson
Do you wear ankle braces?
Jase Robertson
Great to tires.
Si Robertson
I got a bunch of them. Yeah, I have a bunch of ankle braces.
Willie Robertson
I got a few myself. They tend to roll pretty easily from old injuries so I can roll one on a piece of newspaper.
Si Robertson
This episode is brought to you by
Willie Robertson

Si Robertson
You know, I just got one. Martin and Allison was doing a bunch of yard work and stuff on Saturday and she went over to the old disgusting, kinked up junk heavy water hose and was like, this thing stinks. I need a new one. I said, well, look at what I got.
Willie Robertson
Look on my back seat.
Si Robertson
And she went and got that thing. She said it was amazing. Super easy to use. Got everything she needed done.
Willie Robertson
Pocket hose is a rust proof anti burst hose that is easy to manage and easy to store. Just turn the water on and it grows. Turn the water off and it shrinks back to pocket size.

Si Robertson
I don't think I have blood in me because I've never bruised. That time I got hit by a car. No bruising.
John David Robertson
Hit by a car.
Willie Robertson
Let him cut you and find out.
John David Robertson
Interesting.
Si Robertson
I don't want to get cut. That's bleeding. No, I got hit by a car straight in the hip one time and it knocked my shoes off.
Jase Robertson
Wait, wait a minute. You got hit by a car that knocked you out of your shoes?
Willie Robertson
Are we 500 into this?
Si Robertson
I told this story.
Willie Robertson
Have you?
John David Robertson
Yeah, I figured y' all already probably talked about that.
Willie Robertson
If that happened.
Si Robertson
I wasn't.
Jase Robertson
You ain't told this story.
Si Robertson
I wasn't.
Willie Robertson
All of us are looking at each
Jase Robertson
other like I wasn't here.
Si Robertson
I've never told a story about the day Allison broke up with me and I got hit by a car. Mini dump truck in Rome.
John David Robertson
In Rome?
Si Robertson
That's a whole. That is a 100 true story.
John David Robertson
In Rome?
Si Robertson
Yeah. Italy. The city.
Willie Robertson
Wow.
Jase Robertson
You didn't ever tell that story. I mean, I wasn't here.
Si Robertson
It starts with Allison breaking up with me.
John David Robertson
Sounds exotic.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Went to Rome just to get hit by a dump truck.
Willie Robertson
Well, time out.
Si Robertson
We did other things. I'm going to find the picture. I got it.
Willie Robertson
I understand.
Jase Robertson
He's got a picture of it, too.
Willie Robertson
How old were you?
Si Robertson
19.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Jase Robertson
Young and dumb.
Willie Robertson
I was just trying to.
Si Robertson
Young and dumb. I. I was gonna cross.
Jase Robertson
You gotta. If you let a dump truck run over, you are. You're young and dumb.
Si Robertson
It was a miniature dump. It was a European.
Jase Robertson
Well, hey, it was a dump truck.
John David Robertson
We need some imagery here.
Si Robertson
I'm. Guy. It's way back in the Facebook files. I'm. I'm gonna find it.
Willie Robertson
Did they stop?
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah. The whole town stopped.
John David Robertson
Did she take you back?
Si Robertson
The mayor might have been there. I don't know. Nobody spoke English. Me and my two friends.
Jase Robertson
I went to Ro. Looking at the Coliseum, and I got
Si Robertson
run over by a dump truck. No, we were at the mall.
John David Robertson
Did you do it on purpose for her to take you back?
Si Robertson
I mean, I guess I was sad.
Jase Robertson
Wait a minute. You got hit in a. In a mall by a dump truck.
Si Robertson
Outside the mall. Outside the mall. So we're walking out of the mall. I'm gonna find the picture, and then
Jase Robertson
you want to tell me that you wasn't young and dumb?
John David Robertson
Anyway, you gotta start from the beginning. How did and why did you get there and roll.
Jase Robertson
I was.
Si Robertson
I went to school.
Jase Robertson
Oh, he went. He went there to get hit by
John David Robertson
study abroad or whatever.
Si Robertson
Yeah, I studied in Italy for a semester. Really important for everybody to do that. It really helps your college career. I took a vacation for three months and made really bad grades.
John David Robertson
Is it the same place Willie and Corey went?
Si Robertson
Yes.
John David Robertson
I've been there. I've been there, okay?
Si Robertson
I went to school there.
John David Robertson
You stayed at those people's houses.
Jase Robertson
I arrest my case. You stayed at those people's houses.
Si Robertson
The guy that was with me, I was in his wedding. Kyle. Anyways, so I wake up that morning. Allison's had enough of the long distance thing. She's like, I'm out. She was still in high school at the time. It just. Timing was off, and so I was like, well, that sucks. And so now I'm single, but, hey, I'm in Rome.
Willie Robertson
So she chose Shreveport.
Jase Robertson
Over single and in Rome.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
So, look, ain't that called the city of love?
John David Robertson
That's what I was thinking.
Si Robertson
Yeah, well, wrong. If you get hit by a dump truck in the middle of the street, none of the girls are impressed.
Jase Robertson
I was just showing you love.
Si Robertson
I can't believe I never told the story.
Jase Robertson
Dump truck driver will just show you love. Welcome, American.
John David Robertson
He said, welcome.
Jase Robertson
Bam. So I'm walking, knocked him out of his shoes. We're walking. That's what gets me.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Oh, this. So we're doing the touristy thing. We were walking down the street, and we're about to cross the street, and I take a step with my left foot into the crosswalk, and I hear JD And a kid named Allen's yelling at me. And I turned back this way. I said, what? And at that moment, I'm gone.
Willie Robertson
Is that the picture just depleted by dump truck?
Si Robertson
Yes, look, that's him.
Jase Robertson
There's the picture of the. Hey, the dummy getting hit by a dump truck.
Si Robertson
No, that's the guy that was driving the dump truck.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
If you notice, that is a dent right there from my hip.
Willie Robertson
Yes.
Si Robertson
And so I, I. I wake up somewhere in the air, and I'm 10 yards away from this thing was going, now we're gonna have to do kilometers. Probably 35 kilometers per hour.
Jase Robertson
He gets hit, and he wakes up in the air.
John David Robertson
Like, that's a pretty high spot for a hip.
Si Robertson
Do you think he was a mini dump truck?
Jase Robertson
Did you think he was having a nightmare?
Si Robertson
I thought, yeah, still in it.
Jase Robertson
So then
Si Robertson
I'm on the ground, and I look up, and there's just a bunch of Italians looking at me.
John David Robertson
Italians.
Jase Robertson
A bunch of Italians. And I said, italians.
Si Robertson
I didn't know what to do, so I stood up, put my hands in the air and yelled, I'm okay. And I. But at the same time, I was like, this hurts really, really bad.
John David Robertson
Magic trick.
Si Robertson
And then my buddy Derek walks over and hands me my shoe. And I was like, where? And I looked down, and one of my shoes is gone. And he. He goes, dude, that thing went a long ways. And so then everybody's looking at me. Many dump truck drivers, like, yelling at me in Italian.
Willie Robertson
And then you can tell things. A mini. Because that guy's not.
Si Robertson
Yeah, look. That's how he's not A giant that makes. Yeah, right there where the den is, where his hip is.
John David Robertson
Okay.
Si Robertson
And so he checks his truck out and walks off.
Willie Robertson
How did that guy fit in there?
Si Robertson
Yeah. Hey. Oh, Europe got some weird cars, man. Then he goes down the roundabouts and he's gone out of my life.
Willie Robertson
So it was a hit and run.
Si Robertson
So that's. Well, what was I supposed to say?
Willie Robertson
You got to call the police, man.
Si Robertson
The police I did not want no part of. I was like, I think my hip's good.
Jase Robertson
He can't see. He can't say he didn't see you because you've got red, white.
Si Robertson
No, that's the guy driving. Zai.
John David Robertson
That's him.
Jase Robertson
That's the guy driving.
Si Robertson
That's who hit me. So he was inspecting his car in this photograph. I can't believe I've never told this story. Look, 17 years ago, this was posted
Willie Robertson
somewhere there's an Italian telling the same story.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah. Stupid American.
Jase Robertson
Stupid American stepped out in front of my dump truck.
Si Robertson
17 years ago. I commented on this picture. Stupid mini dump truck driver.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Yeah.
Jase Robertson
That's why he reported it.
Si Robertson
I'd like.
Jase Robertson
Stupid Americans stepped in front of my dump truck.
Si Robertson
Now that I have Google Translate, I'd love to talk to him.
John David Robertson
Are you still bitter?
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah, look, you can see it right here. I put the running light got taken out by me.
Willie Robertson
Oh, that's.
John David Robertson
He's probably thought, what, a rhinoceros, you know?
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah. I was bigger than most people over there. Look. I mean, look at that dentist.
Willie Robertson
You weren't bigger than that driver, though.
John David Robertson
Yeah, he did.
Willie Robertson
In there when I closed.
Jase Robertson
Do you have all. You have all black on?
Si Robertson
No. I mean, at the time. Let's just call it like we see it. I was probably wearing Sperry, some cargo shorts and a T shirt that said Top Gun on it or something.
John David Robertson
No, Abercrombie.
Si Robertson
There might be other pictures from that night.
Willie Robertson
Hollister, that's so good.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
John David Robertson
Did you have your shave head?
Willie Robertson
No, I was beard and it was legit. On the night of the day.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah. Allison dumped me that morning. That night, hit by a dump truck. For the next week, I'm limping around Rome and I never got a bruise. And I was pumped because I was like, boy, is she gonna feel bad when she sees this bruise?
Willie Robertson
Nope.
Si Robertson
Nope.
John David Robertson
Did you not tell her till you got home or what?
Si Robertson
I probably.
Jase Robertson
No.
Willie Robertson
I mean, at that point, he had to call for.
Si Robertson
No, I know at that point, she does. Baby, you ain't gonna believe I just got swagged.
Jase Robertson
By what year was this?
Willie Robertson
2008.
Si Robertson
It looked like December 5th, 2008.
Willie Robertson
Wow.
John David Robertson
Almost 10 years. Wait almost 20 years.
Si Robertson
Wow. Hey, two years.
Jase Robertson
A big bruise to come up.
Si Robertson
Two years and 13 days later, Alison felt bad enough to marry me. There we go.
John David Robertson
So all everything happens for a reason.
Si Robertson
Thank you, mini dump truck driver, for
John David Robertson
changing my life, changing my hip alignment so I could get married.
Si Robertson
I mean, he absolutely smoked me. That was a good time, though. I highly recommend it.
John David Robertson
Do you have any, like, pain from then? Just you're recovered and you're good?
Si Robertson
I was good in about four days, I think. Four days, maybe a week. We need to call one of the people that was there and ask them to side. They would tell you the exact same thing.
Willie Robertson
Man, I'd love to know the dump truck driver's perspective.
John David Robertson
Me too.
Willie Robertson
That's.
Si Robertson
I don't think we're gonna find him stupid American.
Willie Robertson
I mean, like, whatever.
Si Robertson
Although we could.
Jase Robertson
No, no. That's the way the story goes. The Italian said, hey, you're not gonna believe what happened this morning. Yeah, he said I was driving, yo. And he said this stupid, ignorant American stepped out in front of.
Willie Robertson
I'm out eating over him.
Si Robertson
I didn't have anything in my hands. I didn't have one. One of. One of my feet didn't have nothing on it. That shoe went a legitimate.
Willie Robertson
So no. No road rash or nothing? Like, nothing, nothing.
Si Robertson
Everybody was excited about the Bruise for like 10 years. They told the story at that school too. They're like, crosswalks are different here in Italy. They do not slow down just because you're in it. They will hit you. John, David, Owen, look him up.
Willie Robertson
Can't confirm.
Jase Robertson
Hey, this is experience talking.
Si Robertson
Yeah, that like, I was part of the safety briefing for the next decade for students.
Jase Robertson
I look both ways. Nothing was coming. Then I stepped out there and got hit by a dump truck.
Si Robertson
I got it hurt.

Si Robertson
I will say, when I went to France for, like a week, best food I had in France, hands down, was that McDonald's right outside the train station. Then I puked in the Louvre.
John David Robertson
Ugh.
Willie Robertson
Why'd you puke in the Louvre?
Jase Robertson
Now my question is. Hey, now my question is, was. Was it Italian, McDonald's or American?
Si Robertson
Oh, it was American. That double quarter pounder with cheese was like, thank God. Slice of home, B.
Jase Robertson
Hey, give me one of them Italian.
Si Robertson
I got hunter without MacDonald. Have I ever know, I haven't told the story about puking in the Louvre, has he? I was sick as a dog, so. But they were like, all right, well, today's the day we're going to the Louvre. And I was like, well, I gotta see the Mona Lisa. And I was walking around there. I was like, this ain't good, boys. And then.
Jase Robertson
What's the song Mona Lisa lost? What?
Willie Robertson
Huh?
Jase Robertson
A song. Mona Lisa lost something.
Si Robertson
She'd been stuck on that wall for a long time. But no, I. I realized I had to puke. So I was yelling banyo at people, which is Spanish fair.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
So that didn't help. And then I puked everywhere. And I just walked up to some old boy, looked like he worked there, was like, hey, man, might want to clean that up. And they roped it off and cleaned it up. So I had my own exhibit in the Louvre at one point.
John David Robertson
Really?
Si Robertson
And then look at this. And then I still hadn't seen the Mona Lisa, which was a buzz kill. And I was like, I got to go back to the. To the room. But I went and walked past that Mona Lisa, had my little disposable camera, held it up, took a picture, kept walking. There's like 8,000 people in front of us like, this Was dumb. I'm going back to bed.
Willie Robertson
Go puke on somebody. Was this the same trip or a different trip?
Si Robertson
That was a few weeks before.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Si Robertson
I'd already puked in the Louvre by the time I got hit by the mini dump truck.
Willie Robertson
I was just wondering if it could be concussion related. No, no, no, nothing like that.
Si Robertson
I puked in the train station.
John David Robertson
This dude solidified himself.
Si Robertson
Yeah. And the people in France. That's why they hate Americans. It was my fault, everybody.
Jase Robertson
What did you eat that made you throw up?
Si Robertson
Might have been what I drank, but we're really not sure. It was. It was a long time ago.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Lemon cello and laws were different.
John David Robertson
Oh, lemon cello.
Si Robertson
That was nasty. What a. What a 19 year old got some crazy ball.
Willie Robertson
Oh, that kind of sick. You weren't like you were.
Si Robertson
No. That was the worst sickness I ever felt. You get over there with them dirty French people and you feel like that might as well be the flu, polio or something because you were down for the count.
Willie Robertson
Limoncello.
Si Robertson
Enough about me. Let's talk about you.
Jase Robertson
Talk about me? There ain't nothing going on.
Si Robertson
I do have some wild stories from that trip.
Jase Robertson
Broken wrist option.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
This morning.
Si Robertson
I just can't believe.
Hunter Robertson
I've never.
Jase Robertson
Don't want to hear screaming in pain. No, you're in a dead sleep.
John David Robertson
Yeah, I'd agree.
Willie Robertson
I don't really want to hear it, even if I'm awake, to be fair.
John David Robertson
But startling you.
Willie Robertson
But startling. Yeah. Not knowing who it is.
Si Robertson
You never want to hear your name yelled either. When you walk out into a crosswalk. Bad sign of things to come.
Jase Robertson
One of that didn't fall down since I jumped out and jumped in my pants right quick.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Did you?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
I'd like to see New move.
Jase Robertson
That's fast. I moved a long time trying to
Willie Robertson
figure out what was going on.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. Going. See, I thought. I thought it was Christine.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, yeah.
Jase Robertson
I heard. I heard the fall.
Willie Robertson
You heard the thud?
Jase Robertson
Yeah, the thud. And then. Ah. Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Pretty good thud.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. And then it was, you know, when she was screaming in pain. I didn't feel. I ain't good.
Willie Robertson
Not good, boys. Not good.
Si Robertson
Abort.
Willie Robertson
Abort.
Jase Robertson
I told the medics that showed up. I said, well, I said for a man that spent 20, 24 years and a half years in the military, I'm not very good in a crisis situation. I said, I'm glad you boys can do what y' all do. And one of them said, well, because it was the fire department that pulled up and then, then the ambulance came Up.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
And the guy said, well, I was.
Willie Robertson
Oh, y' all hit him with a 91 1.
Jase Robertson
The last one was where I emptied 2,500 gallons of water. And I went, whoa, that's a lot of water. He said, yeah, it is.
Willie Robertson
Oh, on a house, not fire. Gosh, somebody.
Jase Robertson
Well, I wouldn't want the job.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Because every time they touch us, she yelled out pain when they were trying to move her. Move her and check out y'.
John David Robertson
All see what was going on.
Jase Robertson
He said, well, darling, I got. I got to lift your arm and to see what y'. All.
Willie Robertson
And she broke her wrist or her arm.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, broke wrist.
Willie Robertson
I've had that one. It heals up fine eventually.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
I was a bit mine in a car wreck.
Willie Robertson
I was a bit of a clumsy Gus as a child. I know. You should be surprised. It took me 25 years to grow into this head, so a little top heavy.
Jase Robertson
I broke mine in a car wreck when I was a. What, 11th grade.
Willie Robertson
Were you driving?
Jase Robertson
Nope.
Willie Robertson
Did you hit somebody in a cross?
Jase Robertson
Another idiot was driving.
Willie Robertson
Did you hit somebody in a crosswalk?
Jase Robertson
No.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Jase Robertson
We hit another car head on.
Willie Robertson
Oh, we.
Jase Robertson
And hey. And it was both of the idiots that driving the cars is the reason we hit. They was playing chicken, and nobody was chicken.
Si Robertson
Can't say they ain't chicken if they do that. I got in a wreck one time. I was sitting in Corey's lap in the front seat. Come on, Corey. What the heck? I think it was Corey. And Cheery was driving our other cousin, and they ran into the back of somebody. Or maybe they just slammed on the brakes and I went flying and my head hit the windshield and busted it. That's a true story, too.
Jase Robertson
Well, that's better than the one I was in because, hey, a kid did the same thing in the car we was in. His head went through the glass and come back, and it literally right near lifted his whole face off.
Willie Robertson
Oh, God.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. No, it was raw.
Willie Robertson
I hit a couple of wind chills pretty good in my life.
Si Robertson
You hit a windshield before head. We need to. I need. We need to have Corey back on so I can ask.
Willie Robertson
But I was same thing that caused your sickness.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Willie Robertson
I was a passenger.
Si Robertson
I was a passenger, too, but I was like, six. And I had older cousins that should have known better.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I was not six. I. I should have known better there to do what I had done.
John David Robertson
Testing that frontal lobe early.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I'll give it a. Give it a good shaking.
John David Robertson
Did you have a bruise?
Willie Robertson
No, I don't bruise he doesn't bruise boys.
John David Robertson
You're just a walking.
Willie Robertson
He's bruised.
John David Robertson
Proofreading, I guess.
Si Robertson
But you know, it could cause a bruise. I saw this last night on the Internet and I've been laughing ever since.
Willie Robertson
What?
Si Robertson
There's an Italian semi pro wrestler. Have you seen him?
Willie Robertson
No.
John David Robertson
Italian.
Jase Robertson
If wrestling is fake, explain it. The boy gets hit with a pizza.
Si Robertson
No, there's a wrestler out there and knocks him out.
Jase Robertson
If that ain't fake, I don't know what it.
Si Robertson
He's. He's doing the dough.
Jase Robertson
He's spinning the twine pizza. The dough hits him in the face with the dough and he acts like he's knocked out. Come on, get real.
Si Robertson
Wrestling is awesome.
Willie Robertson
Mama is so good.
Jase Robertson
Awesome. That's a bit, you know, Mama mia.
Si Robertson
Pro wrestling.
Jase Robertson
Hey, that's two clowns clowning.
Willie Robertson
That is so good. If I'd have seen that as a kid though, I'd have been like, just
Jase Robertson
had his hand and we'll swoop him in face. I could believe it. But hey, do it.
Willie Robertson
Hey, can we talk?
Jase Robertson
He's out like a lot when he got hit with a piece of dope.
Willie Robertson
But can we talk about my man's dough skills?
John David Robertson
Yeah, that's pretty impressive.
Si Robertson
That's wild.
Willie Robertson
Whoa.
Si Robertson
I would eat one of his pizzas. Boom.
Willie Robertson
Not that one though. That's probably got a hair.
Si Robertson
That one's been foiled by a man who needs bigger clothes.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
So you don't like slapping him with it? It's been good. If he'd been slapping with. But since he threw it up and then hit it with his fist and it went over and landed on his head and then he's on the, on the bat. We need tending to be knocked out.
Willie Robertson
So were you ever a wrestling fan?
Jase Robertson
Oh no.
Si Robertson
What?
Willie Robertson
Never?
Jase Robertson
Never. I look, I come in, look, I come on and leave one day. Well, I don't even remember what year it was, but I go to Phil's house.
Willie Robertson
Uh huh.
Jase Robertson
Phil.
Si Robertson
That guy's name is Luigi.
Jase Robertson
Jace, Willie and Jeff. They're into, they're into wrestling. Well, yeah, I mean, big time.
Willie Robertson
A redneck kid. Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Oh yeah, I'm talking about big time. Boy, they turn it on and hey, I don't even remember who it was. But hey, the guy jumped up on the third rope. You know, he had done body slam. This clown, he's laying there, he jumped up on the rope and jumped up and supposedly come down in this guy's chest on the mat. And then the guy like five minutes later, you know, they got to doing it again. And he won the match, you know, and that was all time, man. That was great. And I said, y' all believe that fake crap, you know? And he said, what are you talking about? Yeah, you don't believe you. And I said, jason, I said, I'll give you a deal. I said, I'll get up on the couch, you lay down on the floor, and I'm going to jump and land in your chest with my knee. And I said, then, hey, you ain't no get up and fight me and win. I said, they're going to take you one or two places, to the morgue or to the hospital for emergency. Yeah, I said, because you ain't no get up and be fighting me. In the mood to fight me.
Willie Robertson
Let's get out of the winter slump.
Si Robertson
In a winter slump, now's a good time to hit that reset button. Taking care of your health doesn't have to be complicated. And that's why we love AG1. You know what I'm talking about, si?
Jase Robertson
Because, boys, hey, it's simple. It's one scoop.
Si Robertson
One scoop will do it. AG1 is a daily health drink that keeps it simple. One scoop and you've got vitamins, pre and probiotics, superfoods and antioxidants. You ain't mixing and matching a bunch of different pills and powders and trying to figure it all out. Because guess what? One scoop, it's got you covered. Every morning I wake up and I start it with AG1. So when my day gets going, I know I've already done something good for my body. Plus, the steady energy support I get from AG1 is better than a cup of coffee.
Jase Robertson
Well, not only that, hey, you're ready for the day. You're fired up about it. That's because you've got what you need.
Si Robertson
And what you need is 75 ingredients. AG1's next gym formula is daily immune and gut support that'll have you moving through the spring feeling your best. My energy levels are outstanding. As you know, I've been on a bit of a health journey, and AG1 is part of that. I'm running, I'm taking care of my body because I want it to be good when I'm old. If you get tired of the original, they got citrus, they got berry, they got tropical. I've tried them all. So what you need to do is go to drinkag1.com duck to get an AG1 flavor sampler and a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2 or for free in your AG1. Welcome kit with your first AG1 subscription. Order only while supplies last. That's drink ag1.com duck. Drink ag1.com duck.
Jase Robertson
I was a kung fu master. Yeah. And breaking. Hey, like two inch thick boards.
Si Robertson
Is that when y' all were.
John David Robertson
After they were cut?
Si Robertson
Is that when y' all were chopping with the samurai sword?
John David Robertson
Yeah. Show us. Show us.
Willie Robertson
The samurai was fun. They put that T. Joe up there and told me to take a free swing at it.
Jase Robertson
Take a minute to get it ready.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Yeah. I never knew that I wanted to play with a samurai sword till duck died. As the.
Si Robertson
You didn't know that?
Willie Robertson
No. I just never thought that was just
Si Robertson
innately ingrained in every male's brain.
Willie Robertson
Now I know how clumsy I am. And slinging that big of a blade around look like something I'd lose a kneecap.
Jase Robertson
Oh, no. Hey, look. We had a big time doing that because we had everything out here in the. In the warehouse.
Willie Robertson
Oh, we got watermelons.
Jase Robertson
Tea watermelons was.
Willie Robertson
Some of those were fun to do.
Jase Robertson
I'm talking about. Hey, look, guys. Standing there with a watermelon.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Throws it up.
John David Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
You take samurai sword. A real one. Yeah. Okay. And whack that sucker in half.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Yeah.
John David Robertson
Fruit ninja.
Willie Robertson
Those work.
Jase Robertson
That was. That was actually fun to do.
Si Robertson
Hunter, put a samurai sword in the budget. We need to bring that back. Buy one.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. We can cut like a bag of Doritos.
John David Robertson
Get them a katan.
Si Robertson
Now I'm cutting.
John David Robertson
Wait, are they called. Are they called a catan? Is that what they're like?
Si Robertson
Whoa. Anime chimed in from the cheap seats.
John David Robertson
I knew it was something. Yeah, I figured I was saying the game katan.
Jase Robertson
But that's like pirates. When they used to board chips and, you know, cut everybody up.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
There's nothing like.
Jase Robertson
All right. That was rough, boys.
Si Robertson
Pirates had samurai pirates. If you ever run into a group of those. Get out of there. Yeah. That's all I got to say.
John David Robertson
Samurai pirates.
Si Robertson
You don't want to mess with them.
John David Robertson
Some hijacking going to happen.
Willie Robertson
Moana beat him. I mean, that's basically what them little coconuts were on that one. Little samurai pirates throwing needles and everything
Si Robertson
else at them suckers were a menace.
John David Robertson
I'm not fluent in Moana.
Willie Robertson
Why not? You should. I just have a great, great Disney movie is too. Any good? Oh, I ain't seen two.
Jase Robertson
Me neither.
Si Robertson
Frozen two is trash.
John David Robertson
These little kids love Zootopia.
Willie Robertson
Zootopia.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
John David Robertson
We've watched the second one.
Si Robertson
There's a reason. Yeah, It's a Great film. Just telling you.
John David Robertson
I don't district I just. I'm not fluent in it.
Willie Robertson
The Paw Patrol movie is not good.
Si Robertson
Trash.
John David Robertson
Yeah, trash.
Willie Robertson
Not good at all.
Si Robertson
But the only kids movie size ever seen is Danlot Ted.
Willie Robertson
Oh, that was.
Jase Robertson
That was a wild experience.
Si Robertson
What is Ted, you've never heard this. I don't care that we've told this story.
Jase Robertson
And I swear, what year did it come out on television? They said, what is 13?
Willie Robertson
PG 13?
Jase Robertson
Yeah, PG 13. So me and my wife going to. Because it looked like it was be a funny movie, we sat down and from the start it was foul language.
John David Robertson
Wait, is this the teddy bear? Like teddy bear.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, I know you're talking about hey. Or oh, and matter of fact. Hey, matter of fact, they've got a new one coming out.
John David Robertson
I've never seen the movie.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, they got a new one. It's going to be another bigger hit than the first one.
Willie Robertson
You need to go watch the first 20 minutes of it just to imagine sighing Christine sitting in there. I'm not telling you to watch the whole thing.
Jase Robertson
I'm sitting there and after about the first 30 minutes, you know, I looked at her and I said, I think we should all just get up and leave because this is getting even worse than I even imagined.
Si Robertson
He showed up mad.
Willie Robertson
Oh no, I was about it.
Jase Robertson
I said, yo. Then they said, well wait a minute, it was rated. And I said look, on TV that I watched it raided. They said, hey, PG 13.
Si Robertson
Incorrect. Oh, PG 13 is not for kids. I'll say is.
Jase Robertson
It's supposed to be.
Willie Robertson
I'll say this, I believe the 13
Si Robertson
stands for 13 and older, sir.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, yeah.
Jase Robertson
Well, hey, 13 is a kid, dummy.
Si Robertson
And here that's true.
Willie Robertson
And here's why tell you to go watch it because I didn't watch it until SA told me he went to the theaters. So then I had to watch it through size eyes and I got so ticked. It was, it was even funnier watching it. I don't even know if it's a funny movie, but visualizing sign Christine on a date night was a pop.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, yeah.
Willie Robertson
I remember it like it was yesterday because we all, I mean we could breathe.
Jase Robertson
We talked about it on the podcast
Si Robertson
and I said, no, you did that on Duck Dynasty. You were walking down the hall.
Jase Robertson
I just said he. I went to a movie I don't ever trust. That was don't ever trust what the media says.
Willie Robertson
That was one of those that we wrote on the wall of the old duck call room. Like got to make sure we Talk about this one and Ted Christie talk.
Jase Robertson
I guarantee you for what, three months that we.
Willie Robertson
You.
Jase Robertson
Somebody got hoodwinked. Good.
John David Robertson
Hoodwinked. Hey, that's a good movie. Little Hoodwink.
Si Robertson
Hold on.
Jase Robertson
I love that movie. They literally run it and it said, hey, it's PG 13 for kids.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
I have a symbol, then I go
Jase Robertson
in this thing and I'm talking about from the opening scene to the ending scene. Okay. It was nothing but just garbage.
John David Robertson
Yeah. It wasn't Care Bears or Build a
Si Robertson
Bear I ever told you about time my grandmother went to Hooters on accident.
John David Robertson
Oh, sick.
Willie Robertson
The same one that got arrested for speeding.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Oh, Spike.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Very conservative.
Jase Robertson
I would have loved to met her. Very. Well, okay, we will.
Si Robertson
She was. She was.
Jase Robertson
She went to.
Si Robertson
My dad said, where'd you go eat? Oh, this restaurant called Hooters.
Jase Robertson
And said.
Si Robertson
Dad said you. You went there.
Willie Robertson
Oh, no. What'd she think it was?
Si Robertson
She just thought it was like Applebee's.
Willie Robertson
Oh, just a. Just a regular.
Si Robertson
That's not a bad idea.
Hunter Robertson
Similar to Ted.
Willie Robertson
Oh.
Hunter Robertson
My parents took me to go see this Liam Neeson movie when I was 13 called the gray. Have you guys ever heard of the Gray?
Willie Robertson
Nope.
Si Robertson
So it's about all the Liam Neeson movies. That's.
Jase Robertson
He did.
Willie Robertson
He did something other than Batman and Taken. Yeah.
Si Robertson
Qui Gon Jinn, sir.
Willie Robertson
Who?
Si Robertson
I gotta get more nerdy friend. That's why I went to dinner with. With Hunter last night, because he got that joke. Man. Go watch Star Wars. It's literally.
Hunter Robertson
It's about a group of people getting hunted by wolves after a plane crash. The movie is super, super bloody, super, super gory, super rated R. And now
Si Robertson
you're super afraid of wolves?
Hunter Robertson
No, I was 13 and had the time of my life.
Si Robertson
I was like, this is awesome.
Hunter Robertson
And then my par. Like, weird looks from other people that
Si Robertson
they brought their son to.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, that's.
Si Robertson
I remember the first movie I saw in theaters. Can you guess it? 1994? 95. No, no, no, no. Go up in ratings.
Willie Robertson
Oh, I don't.
Si Robertson
I was specifically told before we walked and we were at the mall movie theater. My mom said, john David, you cannot repeat anything you hear in this movie.
Willie Robertson
Friday?
Si Robertson
No. Dumb and Dumber.
Willie Robertson
Oh.
Si Robertson
And for the next 30 years, I've quoted it the whole time.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
That's the first movie I saw in theaters.
John David Robertson
How old were you?
Si Robertson
Six or five. Highly inappropriate.
John David Robertson
What a culture shock.
Willie Robertson
Such a good movie, though.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Really?
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
I was in kindergarten. They got looks, too, I'm sure.
John David Robertson
In kindergarten at 6.
Si Robertson
No. Taking a kindergarten child to see Dumb and Dumber.
Willie Robertson
That's why they went to the one. Well, no, I was gonna say that's why they went to the one at the mall, but that's the only one.
Si Robertson
Yeah, probably. I went to the mall the other day. Yeah, But. But it was. I was just sad.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Malls used to be so cool, and now the Internet ruined malls.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Yeah. What I used to go. Oh, they had the hunting store in there for a little while.
John David Robertson
Camouflage.
Si Robertson
That's still open. They don't have hunting stuff anymore. They just sell, like, T shirts.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Si Robertson
Yeah, but, yeah, I was just like, man, there's just walls now. I said, buddy, this used to all be stores.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
That you could go in. Not anymore. We need to bring back malls. Do you think it's possible?
Willie Robertson
You think it's over? Yeah, it's over.
Si Robertson
Malls are so.
John David Robertson
I would say that form of a mall. Unless you're in, like, a big city.
Si Robertson
Did you ever go to the mall?
Jase Robertson
Go to what?
Si Robertson
Let's go to the mall, man.
Jase Robertson
The mall.
Si Robertson
Did you ever go to the mall?
Jase Robertson
Like, now? Why would I go to the mall?
Willie Robertson
Oh, you went to the mall?
Jase Robertson
Mall. No.
Willie Robertson
You didn't go there chasing women?
John David Robertson
No, to get a nice shirt.
Si Robertson
The malls were, like, late 80s and 90s.
John David Robertson
Yeah, I went to the mall as a kid.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. I mean, we went all the time.
Si Robertson
I went in high school all the time. So I guess they lasted through 2010ish.
Jase Robertson
Let's go the drive in picture show.
Si Robertson
Okay, so our mom was our big thing. Where do kids hang out now?
Willie Robertson
Hopefully it's.
Jase Robertson
No, no, that's what I wondered.
Si Robertson
We're hoping. Youth group.
Jase Robertson
Where do kids hang out today?
Willie Robertson
On Snapchat?
Si Robertson
Oh, no, a lot of it is online. That's why we're smarter than the next. We're the first generation smarter than the generation behind us. Have you seen that?
John David Robertson
Yeah, no, but I just watched a whole podcast on brain rot, like, by, like, scientific study, like, with, like, two Harvard graduates and the dude that wrote a book about the anxious generation. Watch this today.
Willie Robertson
Who's the anxious generation?
John David Robertson
I think it's like Gen Z and back.
Jase Robertson
No, I had told my grandson Brady, yeah, you know, it was without a job. I said, well, hey, look, what you need to do is do a podcast on dating and start with, like, me and Christine, how we dated, and then bring it forward. Because Tracy is always trying to set him up with a date, and he just trying to. No, mom, we don't do things like that today.
Si Robertson
What do they do.
Jase Robertson
That's just it.
Si Robertson
I don't know.
Willie Robertson
Look, everybody talks about weight loss. Pants fitting, better, belt not working overtime. That's all the good stuff. But how about those not so obvious changes that make your life so much better in all the little ways, huh, Goblin? Yeah.
Guest/Advertiser
Before I started physically d. Weight loss, every time I climbed out of my truck, my knees. I mean, you'd be flinching, waiting for that little shot of pain.
Willie Robertson
But now they ain't barking at you no more.
Jase Robertson
Nope.
Willie Robertson
No more barking.
Guest/Advertiser
Nope. I'm five weeks in, and if you just stay the course, you'll lose three or four pounds a week. Jumping. You want to jump up and down and just run, take off running.
Willie Robertson
If you've tried all the diets, Keto, Paleo, fasting, they're all the same. It's time to try something different. Because it's not a willpower problem. Right. There's one thing that tells your body to burn fat or store. And most diets miss it. PhD weight loss has figured it out and builds a plan that actually works with your body, not against it. So, I mean, you're still eating, right? I mean, you're eating stuff. Yeah. It's not. It's not measurable.
Guest/Advertiser
It's not measurable. They. They send you some stuff you can eat, and it's not bad, and you don't feel like you want some more. When you get through, you're not hungry.
Willie Robertson
If you call now, they'll give you two free weeks in the program and pay for your food so you can finally see real results. If you're done with yo yo dieting and want clarity, call PhD weight loss now and mention. No more guessing, just answers. Call 864-644-1900 and say Gowan. That's 864-64-4-1900 or visit myphdweightloss.com.
John David Robertson
I think there's people that do different. It depends on how you're raised and what you've been exposed to. But there's people that still do it the right way. But I would say majority of people that probably don't have, like, an insight in their life for them.
Jase Robertson
Well, I know this. The dating. The dating options that are available.
John David Robertson
Right.
Jase Robertson
They're into that big, huh?
John David Robertson
What do you mean, like an app or something?
Jase Robertson
Yeah, yeah. I'm talking about a dating app.
John David Robertson
Yeah. Okay.
Si Robertson
We called that the mall.
Jase Robertson
And the biggest thing on that is. Is how big of lies they tell each other.
John David Robertson
Yeah, it's kind of cool.
Jase Robertson
They. They don't send Their photo. They send another photo.
Si Robertson
What's going to happen when they meet Cat?
Jase Robertson
But I'm just saying catfish. It would actually be funny. Yo, you talking about funny? That would be a funny thing to listen to.
Willie Robertson
Oh, I thought you were going to say to catfish somebody because it would be hilarious.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
And then they show up and it's
Jase Robertson
sigh, like you just got catfish by sigh. And I'll use big example. When Kay and Phil started dating, I was like the fifth wheel. I was in the back seat.
Si Robertson
Who were the other two?
Jase Robertson
Huh? No, no, it was just Phil, K
John David Robertson
and B. Oh, Third.
Jase Robertson
People would walk up where we was at, like at the Dairy Queen.
John David Robertson
Right.
Jase Robertson
You know, somebody look, tell me, who's that in the back? And feel said, oh, that's just. That's. That's my brother. Younger brother's side. Don't worry about it.
John David Robertson
Try to teach him something.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, yeah. Well, no, mama was trying to, you know, I was a chaperone.
John David Robertson
Yeah. No, today, I mean, it just changes from, like, people before me, you only knew who you ran in circles with. You know, now they know everybody. Well, now it's a digital thing, so you can know anyone, anywhere. There is question marks on.
Jase Robertson
No, the communication is really screwy.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
In today's dating world, we need to
Si Robertson
have a youth on here.
Jase Robertson
Cause most of them. Most of them, you're gonna break my phone and I'll use Ronnie Dunn.
Willie Robertson
Bring my cousin.
Jase Robertson
I use Ronnie Dunn.
Si Robertson
He's not a youth.
Jase Robertson
When I met him and talked to him at Caesar's palace when I was watching show him and Reba and Brooks, yo, he said, hey, yo, me and my wife are getting divorced. And he said, she's sitting on one end of the couch, I'm sitting on the other end, and we're texting each other on the stupid phone.
John David Robertson
That's crazy.
Jase Robertson
And I looked and I said, ronnie, do you think maybe that may be part of yalls problem is that you living in a house, you're on the same couch, and yet you're talking through AI. You're not talking to each other. No. You're texting.
Si Robertson
Yeah, Texting.
John David Robertson
Yeah. That app was just talking about boundaries with your phone and how your brain reacts to just everything. They're putting out those used to, you
Jase Robertson
know, it'll be face to face. Hey, yeah, we're done. Now you get. You get a little text saying, hey, it's a road, Jack.
Si Robertson
I need to find a youth to interview here.
John David Robertson
A youth or a youth?
Si Robertson
Youth.
John David Robertson
Is that the new way y' all say that's?
Si Robertson
How I say it.
Willie Robertson
Youth.
Si Robertson
Don't worry about it. No, we gotta find one and ask
Jase Robertson
them that like where do they hang out? There are a lot of people that is actually. They're actually dating.
John David Robertson
Yeah. Through a phone.
Willie Robertson
They spend any time in the Right.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
That's scary.
John David Robertson
That is scary because the movies, you
Si Robertson
can just go get a ticket now. When I was a kid they'd be sold out. Hunter, where are they hanging out?
Hunter Robertson
I think. I think they hang out some at the movies and the movie and discord.
Jase Robertson
I don't know if a phone's coming through or not, but I think it's
Hunter Robertson
a online kind of. Kind of like a chat room but you have. You can talk in it. Like it's like the newer version of Skype.
Si Robertson
Basically got a group message.
Jase Robertson
It's.
Hunter Robertson
It's like a group message but more for gaming.
John David Robertson
No, I think kids. It just really depends on what they're. That's what they're interacted with where they hang out. Like if you play a few years
Willie Robertson
and you go no.
John David Robertson
Yeah
Si Robertson
man. I don't like it.
John David Robertson
Like if kids are into sports, they'll be around people that play sports. But if like just depending on what you're doing is what you.
Jase Robertson
Oh I would like to know what our. Our kids that are let's say from 12 to 18 are doing.
Si Robertson
Gave me three days.
Jase Robertson
What do they do in their off time?
John David Robertson
Like a majority. He's a little different than saying like a majority. Like the majority. It. I would say it probably all comes down to what their parents.
Jase Robertson
On the weekend, like Friday night we'd all meet Dairy Queens.
John David Robertson
Right.
Jase Robertson
And have big time just clowning around, you know, go roll somebody's house.
John David Robertson
Yeah, we did that a lot.
Jase Robertson
Just do something that, that you know the camp.
Si Robertson
Yeah, that tracks. But nowadays, you know, you didn't have anywhere in town.
John David Robertson
I would say a lot of kids that have access to a cell phone and social media. I would say a lot of them waste their time probably scrolling and doing that.
Jase Robertson
Well what I've heard from the TV they spend the big screen told them about the small out of a what 7 day week, 24 hours. How many hours that.
John David Robertson
Yeah. Oh, how many hours is that?
Jase Robertson
Yeah, they. Yeah.
Si Robertson
Probably around for a whole week.
John David Robertson
It's like 150, 60.
Jase Robertson
Well they spend like 50 hours on this stupid thing.
Willie Robertson
Thank God. When I get my notification on screen time report I get like four and a half hours.
Jase Robertson
And I think that asking AI y'. All. I ask you what's wrong with me?
John David Robertson
What yeah, these people said. I think the average adult or I don't know if it's adult or kids combined is like six hours a day on social media.
Si Robertson
Yes, I'm below social media.
John David Robertson
Just social media, like short, way below.
Jase Robertson
It's insane the amount of time they're staying on that.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, my son's made a deal every Sunday morning.
Jase Robertson
If I was a parent nowadays.
Willie Robertson
What's yours, Hunter?
Hunter Robertson
Hey, the same as yours.
Willie Robertson
I can have a phone, but if
Hunter Robertson
I'm with Olivia, it's like two.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, there you go. Yeah, if it's hunting season until they're
Jase Robertson
like 16 years old.
Willie Robertson
Out of hunting.
John David Robertson
No, that's what they were talking about on the podcast about the brain rot thing is really, there's only so much you can do. You can't tell an adult what to do. But I think some of the best things, like take back, like the kids take away from the social media until they're of age.
Jase Robertson
The psychologists are saying, hey, their grades are way, way down. You know, they're asleep. They don't get enough rest.
John David Robertson
They don't feel purpose.
Jase Robertson
They're losing weight, not eating right. And it's because of that right there.
John David Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
And they don't have all the apps that are available for them to get into.
Si Robertson
They need to go to the mall.
Willie Robertson
The middle of the mall.
Si Robertson
Middle of the mall. And if you wrong person, you might get knocked out.
Jase Robertson
No, no, they need to have human companionship at the mall.
John David Robertson
They need to lock their phone and
Jase Robertson
just be the phone.
John David Robertson
That's why.
Si Robertson
Lock it up.
John David Robertson
I say be alive. Just go be alive and experience.
Jase Robertson
Hey, I seen something the other day on it about school. Schools are trying to pass a law that you can't bring that to school.
John David Robertson
I think that's good.
Willie Robertson
You think it'd be. We live in a world where you could. As soon as you walk in the school, it just shuts down all the signal. Like some kind of signal block or something.
Si Robertson
You can't be doing that because I'll
Jase Robertson
give you an example.
Willie Robertson
That's the easiest way to disable it.
John David Robertson
What do they call it?
Jase Robertson
I'll give you an example.
John David Robertson
Emp.
Si Robertson
Where'd you hang out in high school? We got to finish because we're way over high school. Were you hanging out?
John David Robertson
I mean, I guess Rite Aid. Rite Aid is crazy.
Jase Robertson
We always hung out at somewhere where we could get something to eat. A burger.
Si Robertson
I mean, shake. There's not a single McAllister's waitress from 2003 to 2007 that probably wasn't asked out by me or one of my friends. Yeah, that's where we hung out. Know any of them?
John David Robertson
Yeah. In high school. I don't know.
Si Robertson
I played well, we hung out and they were just talk to people.
Willie Robertson
Random spuds used to be legit.
Si Robertson
I still are.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. I don't know.
John David Robertson
Yeah, I guess in high school, I mean, I played a lot of sports. So I did a lot of things with my teammates outside of practice. Whether it was just hanging out and just going to eat or always. I rolled a lot of people's houses. Did a lot of ding dong ditching growing up. Even in high school. I know that sounds very immature, but
Si Robertson
now everybody got it.
Jase Robertson
Either was at somebody's house.
John David Robertson
You're right.
Jase Robertson
Or at a place that served food and hamburgers. Jake milkshake.
Willie Robertson
We just always ended up at somebody's camp. That's where we. Yeah, we always went to the woods. Right. Either riding four wheelers, getting your truck stuck, like tearing up. We were. We were tearing up something. Yeah. With wheels. Like it did not matter.
John David Robertson
We rode around the car a lot. Like, because we thought. When I was 16, when I got my car, I thought it was the coolest thing. So like anyone that couldn't drive as my friends, like we would just ride around. You want to ride, ride around till midnight, you know, I thought I was bad of the bone.
Si Robertson
Deuteronomy 6, 6 and 7. These commandments that I give to you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road. When you lie down and when you get up.
Jase Robertson
There you go. Sam.
