Willie Robertson
Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. Happy holidays. It is the holiday season already. You can spend your time anywhere. So thank you for spending it with us. This holiday season.
Jase Robertson
Could have been in the word world, but you're here with me.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I don't Usher sang on me. Not that we all in the Christmas spirit around here and we still got a couple of weeks to go before we get there. No, man, it's fun. Fresh off of a trip down to the Florida Keys for a few days during our closed duck season. So I thought you.
Godwin
I heard you had a throttle mal manipulation problem, so.
Willie Robertson
I had a problem. I did. Yeah. And in fairness. So we rented a boat without a captain because I went with a bunch of professional fishermen and I'm, I'm all for paying people to do what they do, but you know, they're like, well, we're fishermen. We'll figure this out.
Jase Robertson
Every boat needs a good captain.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. So a big, big bay boat. Yeah. A 25 foot center console. Yeah, a big one with like A you know, 250 Yamaha on the back of it or something. But we were. So we all took turns running the boat. Whatever. Why everybody fish? Because, you know, ocean got a lot of current in it. So it's a big ocean. It is a big ocean.
Godwin
And didn't have a trolling motor.
Willie Robertson
Didn't have a trolling motor? No, no trolling motor. So we would all. Everybody fish take turns. Well, at some point. So the throttle on these things are different than the throttle on a freshwater boat. Freshwater is like direct drive or something like that is how throttle works. But anyway, you push it Stuff happens. Like you know what's happening when you push the throttle.
Godwin
Well, you gotta give it. Go on and give it.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, this thing has some kind of digital throttle. So at some point, every one of us almost threw every other person out of the boat. So we're talking about the best bass anglers in the world. Jacob Wheeler, Dustin Connell, Mark Daniels, Adrian Evana, and me. Now, here's the difference. They let me drive while they fish. While we were up there doing what bass fishermen do, we're flipping boat docks in the Keys. They got a whole ocean that's quiet. And we run around the Keys flipping boat docks different and characters that'll be chunking at something. But I tell you this, I think that's because nobody down there fishes that kind of stuff. So we. We were smashing. We were catching more 11 inch mangrove snapper than we know what to do with. So which they gotta be 10 inches to be legal, or whatever we were catching. We're like, you gotta be 10 inches. But these were like 11 and 12 inches. So we were knocking the sides off of them and eating fish and all the things. So I'm running it though, and I. I'm looking. Everything's fine. Because I've watched them. I've watched their mistakes, right? Like, I'm like, oh, yeah, I ain't gonna do it. Yeah, I ain't gonna do what they.
Godwin
Get out of the way. Let me show you.
Willie Robertson
But I ain't gonna do what they did. So we're up around a big barge with a track hoe on it. Like that's been dredging, I guess, or something.
Jase Robertson
Barge has a track ho on it.
Willie Robertson
And that thing's loaded with fish, buddy. I'm talking about loaded. So they're all fired up. So I'm like, y'all go catch them, whatever. It don't matter. I'll drive the boat. So I'm driving. We start drifting towards it. And I put it in reverse, which is fine. I eased it into reverse, and we're just kind of backing up. Well, there's a bunch of stuff around us. So I turned my head, but I still got my hand on the throttle.
Jase Robertson
Oh, boy.
Willie Robertson
So when I turned my head to look behind us, unbeknownst to me, I was going down on the throttle too, not even paying attention. Well, that thing rocks back. So what do you do when it rocks back?
Jase Robertson
Rocks forward.
Willie Robertson
You try to find neutral real quick. Well, neutral is nowhere to be had on this thing. Not like it goes. It fires straight past it. So now I'm going Forward at full throttle towards the barge.
Jase Robertson
That's not a good.
Si Robertson
Which ain't a good thing.
Willie Robertson
And I'm talking about we're close enough, we're flipping said barge like we're not casting to the. Doing this. And I see DC come flying off the front of the boat back into the boat. Which, unbeknownst to me, he said if you hadn't thrown him forward, I was going to end up in the water, you know, he said, you rocked me forward and you brought me back when you went in forward. So then I'm grabbing the forward throttle and coming back again. Well, it blows straight past neutral again. And so now we're full speed reverse.
Jase Robertson
That's better than forward.
Willie Robertson
And then finally I was like, where is neutral? Found neutral on stop. I said, y'all drive this thing. I'm done. But I legit. Almost wrecked.
Godwin
I can picture that.
Willie Robertson
Oh, buddy, it was terrible.
Jase Robertson
You almost right.
Willie Robertson
25 foot boat that we didn't own into a barge. Into a large metal barge.
Godwin
All the fish.
Willie Robertson
No, they kept biting them saltwater fish are dumb. I churned up the bottom all the way around that thing, too, doing all that mess, and they still kept biting. But I said, y'all drive this thing, man. I'm not. Not up here around stuff. I'm out. I'm out. And they were all laying in the floor like, what in the world just happened?
Godwin
I was like, buddy, I didn't want to drive either.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. I was trying to figure out the same thing of what just happened. Oh, I mean, as a freshwater guy. Neutral.
Godwin
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
On all of our stuff, neutral stops. Like, you have to intentionally go out of neutral. Not on this thing.
Godwin
It's like a little.
Willie Robertson
This thing goes. This thing goes forward and back.
Godwin
Oh, yeah.
Willie Robertson
When you're in a panic for sure. After that, I was like, all right, now y'all go. Let me figure. Let me find what this is supposed to feel like. And I did. And, you know, I still drove a little bit more. But, buddy, I almost wrecked a boat onto a barge with four of my dearest friends.
Jase Robertson
How far were you from shore?
Willie Robertson
Oh, he's right by the bank.
Jase Robertson
That's good.
Willie Robertson
I mean, we could have stood up and where we were fishing, it would have just. We didn't own the boat.
Godwin
We.
Jase Robertson
It would have been a bad deal.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Godwin
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
But you would have been able to swim to shore.
Willie Robertson
Oh, we could have walked to the marina. The marina was just right up there. Like, I mean, it wouldn't.
Jase Robertson
All good accidents happen right by the marina.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, but we Were dangerously close to having new structure to fish in the Florida keys. It was a 25 foot center console boat with a 300 on it. I mean, that it was. It was an old fashioned tuffy. I. I was scared, man. I. I don't get scared on the water, But I was like. I knew at that moment things have gone awry. I was like, this is not a good look. But we all laughed about it. We all got a couple new bruises from it. You know, it's fine getting from getting slung around a boat like that.
Jase Robertson
Gracious.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Folks, if you're a freshwater guy, you go saltwater fishing with a digital throttle.
Jase Robertson
It's different.
Willie Robertson
Spend an hour learning the throttle before you do anything. Yeah, but that they legit. I mean, I'm not justifying my problems. I'm just saying everybody did that at some point. Mine was just the only time There was blue ocean in front of us. Every other time somebody did it like you did, just. We almost fell.
Jase Robertson
There was a large. In front of you.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, there was a big, Large metal.
Si Robertson
Stop him.
Willie Robertson
Who would have. Who would have won the battle between that and a 25 foot fiberglass center console boat?
Jase Robertson
How do boats like that even float?
Willie Robertson
I don't know, but it would have stopped us.
Jase Robertson
How do you make a track hoe float?
Godwin
It was floating on that barge we been catfishing on the Mississippi river. And a barge will be coming towards you. It'll be seven wide and seven deep. Five acres of barge high in the.
Willie Robertson
World, floating and pushing.
Godwin
Yeah. And I passed one past us. It had like 12 D9s on the front of it. Bulldozers. And then the back was like living quarters. Like apartments. Stood up.
Willie Robertson
I didn't know them numbers on the side of the barge was to let you know how much boat was under the water.
Godwin
I didn't need them. Oh, yeah.
Willie Robertson
They got like measuring rulers on the side.
Godwin
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Like if it's. If you look and you see it's. It seems low and it's at 12. That means there's 12 foot of boat up under the water.
Godwin
Mm.
Willie Robertson
And then when they unload, it'll rise up and it'll be like on one or two. And you can.
Godwin
Full of beans or full of corn.
Willie Robertson
Or full of rocks, gravel, concrete. All the things.
Jase Robertson
Hunter. Oh, yeah, hold on. Hunters.
Willie Robertson
Hunters.
Jase Robertson
I have to check on.
Godwin
I can own a bone over.
Jase Robertson
Hunter's literally choked up about the story and cannot stop calling. Are you okay?
Godwin
Coming out of his eyes.
Jase Robertson
I'm fine.
Willie Robertson
Losing us was. Oh, drowning. Yeah. We were real close to that.
Godwin
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Hunter, have you ever had a bottle of water before? Is this your first one?
Godwin
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Okay. Oh, don't make him laugh.
Godwin
Got a drinking problem.
Jase Robertson
I legitimately got worried for Hunter's safety there for a minute.
Willie Robertson
Oh, man. A lot. But, yeah, that was. That was it, Man. The Florida Keys, man, I like that place. Yeah.
Jase Robertson
I got questions.
Willie Robertson
That part of the world. What, you were there for like, three days.
Jase Robertson
Was it even that?
Willie Robertson
Yes.
Jase Robertson
It felt like 20 minutes.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. It's three days.
Jase Robertson
Seems like a lot of work to get somewhere to only stay there for 20 minutes.
Willie Robertson
Well, we. So we generally take a tr. Up during the winter. That whole crew. But it's always during duck season.
Godwin
All them chickens are down there. A lot of chickens.
Willie Robertson
They do have a bunch of chickens.
Godwin
Chickens. We seen a chickens in a Kentucky Fried Chicken parking lot. He's walking around. Paula said, does he know Key west got chickens?
Willie Robertson
Free range chicken.
Si Robertson
Water.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
That's like our carriers.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
That's a. That's a city in itself. 5,000 people is what's on that. On that carrier.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Living up under that.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Living underwater.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Most of them underwater.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Most of them on water. All you sleeping compartments, all that.
Godwin
Good night.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. It's wild, man. But no, we did a little quick trip down to Key west because we had all been there before, so it wasn't like, go down there and explore. And we all knew kind of what we were getting into and knew all the stuff we wanted to do and all the things. So it was fun. We got to take part in the Key West Christmas parade.
Jase Robertson
Is that anything like the Balcony Christmas parade or.
Si Robertson
I would just fix that. I came to town and, hey, I've never seen that many cars and that many people in West Monroe.
Willie Robertson
Did you catch you some free rolls of toilet paper and.
Si Robertson
No.
Jase Robertson
You got hung up.
Godwin
Oh, they had some pretty deer mount. Buddy of mine was sending me pictures of some deer mounts. They was on them floats.
Jase Robertson
Oh.
Willie Robertson
Oh. So they decorated it with real deer.
Godwin
That's right.
Si Robertson
Real deer.
Godwin
I mean.
Willie Robertson
Oh, deer. Martin, y'all.
Jase Robertson
We're coming up on that magical time of year. I like to call it the anniversary of whenever I found out about Mando Whole body deodorant. Because that commercial changed my life. And this one's gonna change yours, people. Because I found out about Mando. Dr. Shannon Klingman, that's doing her thing on TV. I was like, that's gotta be the best thing ever. Whole body deodorant. Yes. Whole body deodorant. Gentle on your skin. Dermatologist tested and it's gonna keep you from smelling all stanky.
Si Robertson
It'll keep you from stinking for 72 hours.
Godwin
Boom.
Willie Robertson
What can be boom? You know how?
Si Robertson
Yeah. It eats your odor.
Willie Robertson
There you go. It stops odor at the source by blocking the bacteria on your skin from eating your sweat. And look, there's hungry bacteria on our skin because we sweat a lot. A great stocking stuffer and great grundle cleanse. I'm telling you. Mando whole body deodorant is powerful enough for the toughest body parts odor but gentle enough to use everywhere. That's right, everywhere. Allowing you to put Mando on family jewels without any worry.
Jase Robertson
I put Mando on my family jewels on this day itself.
Willie Robertson
And you know why you can do that? Because it's aluminum free, baking soda free, cruelty free. You don't need nothing cruel down there. Die free and vegan.
Jase Robertson
It works better than just showering soap alone.
Willie Robertson
It is though. It's clinically proven to control odor better than those two showers and soap 12 hours after a shower. The average man's grundle odor lever.
Jase Robertson
It's a five out of 10. And the people listen to our show are probably more like us. We're probably cruising around a 7 or 8 if we're being honest.
Willie Robertson

Jase Robertson
Weren't you the.
Si Robertson
Oh, I was.
Jase Robertson
I'm of the Baucomville Redneck Christmas parade.
Willie Robertson
Well, I cannot think of a better representative than you.
Si Robertson
Well, there you go.
Willie Robertson
There you go. But hey. What? Your weekend was wild, huh? Huh? You sent me a picture.
Jase Robertson
I did do a thing of.
Willie Robertson
Of something that I thought only existed in dream.
Jase Robertson
No, it exists in the real world. You have to go to Shreveport and drive on that interstate which you. That is a life or death situation right there.
Godwin
All that construction.
Jase Robertson
It's.
Godwin
I hauled my boat through there.
Willie Robertson
You did?
Jase Robertson
You really?
Godwin
I got off of that thing quick.
Willie Robertson
How was there enough room in a couple of them bottlenecks? Because we flew out of Shreveport.
Godwin
I was like, oh, they was. It was close.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Shreveport, Louisiana's interstate has been a travesty for years.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
Now they're fixing it.
Willie Robertson
Attempting to fix it.
Jase Robertson
So what they've done is made it all one lane and put walls up where if you fart, you're gonna scratch your car.
Godwin
All up.
Willie Robertson
There ain't no lie there.
Jase Robertson
It is so nerve wracking.
Willie Robertson
It's tight.
Jase Robertson
But in Shreveport's defense, I say a lot of foul things about Shreveport.
Willie Robertson
They say a lot about us, too.
Jase Robertson
Doesn't matter. We're right there. Wrong. So my wife's from there. It's a weird place, but we went to this Christmas light thing and it was cool. They had snow tubing in, but it was like on this plastic thing that was a lot of fun. Then there was lights. And I was like, this is a neat thing. The kids like, it's my wife's birthday. We're all having fun. And then they had this food truck area. And I was like, all right. And there was one called Corn dogs. The thing, it was Queen's Corn Dogs.
Willie Robertson
Amen, Buddy.
Jase Robertson
And the kids all wanted a corn dog. And I was like, I got you. And I walk up and there's doesn't.
Willie Robertson
Who, by the way, who doesn't want a corn dog.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, Well, I didn't. After I saw what else you had and mustard.
Godwin
What else it up together.
Jase Robertson
And there's a sign on this food truck that says, deep fried Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes.
Godwin
Wow.
Si Robertson
Deep fried little underneath it.
Jase Robertson
It said, everything's better on a stick.
Si Robertson
And I said, well, they put a Little Debbie's Crisp.
Godwin
Everything better with a H. Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Y been saying it for years.
Godwin
I've been saying it.
Jase Robertson
And so I said, well, I guess we're going to have to go for this.
Godwin
Oh, yeah. Well, that was desert. You could have.
Jase Robertson
That was breakfast, lunch and dinner. That was everything I ever needed in my life. They put some whipped cream on top of it, put some more sprinkles on it.
Willie Robertson
Really?
Jase Robertson
You picked up the stick and it.
Godwin
Was kind of like, uh, oh, I'm going to straightforward.
Jase Robertson
You need to. The first bite. I was like, this is one of the greatest things that's ever happened to me. And then I found this one bite in the middle that was like, if you took the best funnel cake, you've ever had and mixed it with a Little Debbie Christmas tree cake. And Santa Claus himself had Mrs. Claus make it for you. And you were at the North Pole eating it underneath the blanket.
Godwin
It was a big old glass of milk.
Jase Robertson
When I tell you how magical it was.
Godwin
It was.
Jase Robertson
I'll never forget. It was special.
Si Robertson
Oh, boy.
Willie Robertson
Will that become a yearly thing for y'all now you know.
Godwin
Oh, he's going back tomorrow.
Jase Robertson
There's a chance I'm in a wedding this weekend. So I actually cannot go back. But I would consider going back just for the Little Debbie on a stick.
Godwin
Is it? And this hour and a half over.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, but.
Jase Robertson
But that's saying something because I don't even like going to Shreveport for any old reason. But these people turn Shreveport around single handedly.
Willie Robertson
Made in Shreveport. The soda.
Jase Robertson
Okay, so they're south of Shreveport. Look at it. So I got a picture of the. I was sitting there and I had to send this to Martin.
Godwin
Do you cross the river?
Jase Robertson
Look at it. Everything's better.
Godwin
$10 worth.
Jase Robertson
It just ma'am charge double.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I'd do it good. Wouldn't even think.
Jase Robertson
Never. I thought about going and getting another one.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
It was delicious.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
And it was worth that run.
Willie Robertson
I bought an 11 cookie on Duvall street in Key West. So don't. Don't hear me.
Godwin
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
And we got to talk about something else too, because it was my wife's birthday. So I had to say yes.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
To whatever she felt like doing that day. And she wanted to go to this Christmas light play, which I was in on. That place was cool. And then they had that Christmas tree cake, so it took the top, but she was like, we'll go shopping in Shreveport. And I was like, okay, whatever. You know where she most wanted to go?
Godwin
Bass Pro now.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. That have been a toughie.
Jase Robertson
Would have been better than where we went.
Willie Robertson
Academy.
Jase Robertson
No.
Willie Robertson
We got one of them too. I'm trying to figure out like, yeah, Cabela's old Navy. No, I'm just trying.
Jase Robertson
We went to Target.
Willie Robertson
Oh, Shreveport. Co. Y'all didn't even hit up Whole Foods.
Jase Robertson
We went there too.
Willie Robertson
Oh, okay.
Jase Robertson
But we went to all the way to Shreveport to go to Target.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Theirs is better, Right?
Jase Robertson
She was at our Target the day before. But then she told me that this Target is a super Target, which means it's better. But all that to me, it just would look bigger.
Godwin
It had a grocery store in it, I guess.
Jase Robertson
But we weren't getting groceries.
Willie Robertson
Our Target's got grocery. Does it a little bit Yeah, I don't pay attention. Like full blown meat market or nothing.
Godwin
What was that? Donut light.
Jase Robertson
Blanking at the Target.
Willie Robertson
No, they didn't. They didn't make it that far.
Godwin
Oh, you didn't go on in there.
Willie Robertson
They didn't make it past.
Jase Robertson
I have no idea.
Godwin
Everybody knows about that place.
Jase Robertson
I don't know.
Godwin
Lights on. You better stop.
Jase Robertson
I don't know about Shreveport.
Godwin
4:00. It don't matter.
Jase Robertson
But they had the. They had the. That we had to go to Target. And then I complained, which I shouldn't have because it was her birthday. And then every woman she asked is like, is super Target different? And they claim it's super.
Willie Robertson
It's super. It's a super Target.
Jase Robertson
It's the same thing.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Something about targeting women like moth to a flame. Like, it's. It's crazy.
Jase Robertson
I don't get it.
Willie Robertson
How much time women spend. And it's the logo or Target, is it?
Jase Robertson
They just like, go out of town to go somewhere. We already had.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Whole Foods I get. Because we don't have one. Every time I'm in Shreveport, I stop at Whole Foods.
Jase Robertson
Just don't eat at that Mexican place beside it.
Willie Robertson
No trash. But I wish we had one. I do wish we had a Whole Foods here. That would be. That's a cool place. They got some interesting stuff in there.
Jase Robertson
They got food you can't get anywhere else.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I know. Because it's whole and it's health conscious.
Si Robertson
Egg on a stick.
Jase Robertson
Hey. Yeah. And that was not bought at Whole Foods.
Willie Robertson
No, no. That is everything Whole Foods is against.
Si Robertson
A deep fried Christmas tree.
Willie Robertson
Better hurry up, rfk. Get in there. That ain't gonna exist.
Godwin
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
I will start a war that is freedom of speech. And to do what I want to do and if I want to eat. Little Debbie.
Si Robertson
Oh, speaking of that, that remind me what happened with Target over at Rustin. Not Target. Bucky's.
Willie Robertson
Bucky.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Godwin
Well, I got a bail.
Si Robertson
Well, they ain't done. They made up their mind where they gonna build it.
Jase Robertson
The latest on our own personal buckies is that by the time Carter is 30, we might have one.
Willie Robertson
Really? Now, long got hung.
Jase Robertson
I think 20, 25, it should be finished. No, 2026 is the new estimate. It. I'm confused on what year it is. What year is it right now?
Godwin
24.
Si Robertson
24.
Willie Robertson
We're staring down 25.
Godwin
Yeah, yeah.
Si Robertson
Staring down 25.
Jase Robertson
Well, the funny part, Bucky's is so good that, like, whenever you put one in the town, they have to like rearrange all the traffic.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah, yeah. That was going to have to happen.
Jase Robertson
And so then they were like, hey, let's put it here. And they were like, then the kids can't go to school. And then they're like, oh, yeah, yeah.
Willie Robertson
They got to re. Redo some.
Si Robertson
Oh, it's a relocation project.
Jase Robertson
I think they're having to build a whole new.
Si Robertson
Yeah, it's a relocation project.
Godwin
Logic.
Jase Robertson
Here you go. The news in November said, expected to be completed in mid-2026.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Jase Robertson
They should deep fry. That's fine.
Si Robertson
New Year's.
Godwin
That's fine.
Si Robertson
Two years. Two years.
Godwin
We'll just go to Shreveport till then and.
Jase Robertson
Well, Shreveport doesn't have a buck.
Si Robertson
Go to Target. Super Target.
Jase Robertson
Shreveport got enough traffic issues without a BUC EE's.
Godwin
Shreveport got that famous pickle.
Jase Robertson
What's that?
Godwin
It's a big deal.
Si Robertson
It's a big deal. You got it.
Jase Robertson
Oh, God, I walked right into that one. Yeah, I was like, famous pickle. I was about to go back. I like pickles.
Willie Robertson
Very few of his that I see coming. I saw that one, though.
Jase Robertson
I didn't see that one. Side. What'd you do?
Godwin
What? The cupcakes made a mistake of coming.
Si Robertson
Up there when they had the balcony bill. Christmas parade. Go get me a little money from the bank.
Jase Robertson
Size only outing was to get a little cash. I'm not gonna presume what it was for.
Si Robertson
Oh, it was for the poker.
Jase Robertson
Okay. And he got hung up on that.
Si Robertson
Hey, that. They bailed on me. Suckers.
Willie Robertson
So you still got a pocket full of cash?
Si Robertson
I still got a pocket full of cash.
Jase Robertson
What you doing right now?
Willie Robertson
Let me holler at you.
Si Robertson
I ain't home.
Godwin
Let me hold a thousand.
Si Robertson
I ain't on.
Godwin
I'll pay you back Friday.
Si Robertson
I know.
Jase Robertson
Hey, if you're a longtime listener, you might know We've been drinking AG1 for about three years now. When I started drinking AG1, you could immediately tell a difference in your overall health, energy levels, stress levels, and your focus. And that's because AG1 is a foundational nutrition supplement that supports your body's universal needs like gut optimization, stress management, and immune support. Since 2010, AG1 has led the future of foundational nutrition, continuously refining their formula to create a smarter, better way to elevate your baseline health. And you know what the best part is? Si.
Si Robertson
One scoop.
Jase Robertson
One scoop. Not only did I replace my multivitamin with AG1, but every scoop also includes magnesium and B vitamins for energy support adaptogens to balance your body's stress levels, vitamin C. Coming up on cold and flu season, I recommend it to everybody because they have a team of doctors and scientists testing for everything. That's how you know it's good.

Jase Robertson

You can unbuckle them and they will go wild in that car.
Willie Robertson
That's what I'm worried about.
Jase Robertson
That's gonna be awesome.
Willie Robertson
They just got flipped to looking at the world forward. You want to talk about? Blew their mind like when they went from that backward facing seat to what we're seeing.
Jase Robertson
They're like what It's a great day in anybody's life.
Willie Robertson
What happened? Like how this is what this looks like now. Which. Yeah, that's a wild time. It's a cool experience to watch because we got them little cameras back there looking at them and so to see their. Their deal.
Jase Robertson
You got cameras looking at your kids in the car?
Willie Robertson
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Jase Robertson
I feel like we had kids a hundred years apart. I got a five year old. There wasn't any cameras back there. Might have been. We had a mirror now.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Well you could get the mirror or you can buy this camera that's like I mean super cheap.
Jase Robertson
Probably 20 bucks.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. It wasn't nothing. It just plugs into your cigarette lighter or I guess that's what you call that thing still of your car?
Jase Robertson
Does anybody light cigarettes with a cigarette?
Willie Robertson
I don't even think it gets. It comes with deal gets hot anymore. It's a 12 volt plug, but yeah. You know, redneck call it a spotlight plug, but yeah, I've always just grew up calling a cigarette lighter. But you just plug it in there and then hit the on button and you got two little cameras that watching boys back there.
Godwin
So awesome.
Willie Robertson
We used to have it when they were turned. We had it mainly for when they were turned around.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, you can see what they were doing.
Willie Robertson
Well, make sure they ain't doing nothing. Like choking on nothing.
Jase Robertson
Eating something that they found in their. Yeah, in their clothes.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, but now, I mean we still have them just because they still work. But when they fry or something, we're not going to redo them because we can just turn around and look at them now.
Jase Robertson
Well, they're about to the point you can just ask them what they're doing.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
What are you eating? A frog. Where'd you get my diaper?
Willie Robertson
They lie to you because they know they ain't supposed to.
Godwin

Like the most lovable.
Godwin
No, I don't know.
Jase Robertson
Sid, you want anything specific for Christmas?
Si Robertson
I've got everything. J.D.
Jase Robertson
See, this is why people complain about their dads and grandma's gifts.
Willie Robertson
Husbands and everything. Yeah.
Jase Robertson
You're the hardest person to buy for.
Willie Robertson
I'm really not. You know what I'm always thankful for?
Jase Robertson
Socks and underwear.
Willie Robertson
Praise God.
Jase Robertson
That's just who you are.
Willie Robertson
I know, and I love them.
Si Robertson
Well, no, I was, you know, socks are a good gift.
Willie Robertson
Legitimately thankful too. And nobody believes me.
Jase Robertson
And I'm like, that's because you're old and boring.
Godwin
Look.
Willie Robertson
Well, that's the stuff I don't like buying for myself. Look, if.
Godwin
Where do your socks go? That's what I want to know.
Willie Robertson
Oh, in the trash. If one of them even sniffs of a hole being around. No, my wife sees it.
Godwin
I got.
Si Robertson
Hold on.
Godwin
You're stated ankle socks.
Si Robertson
That is. That is.
Godwin
I got socks that pull up past my ankle and you know, you need them in the wintertime when you're wearing your boots, your rubber boots, stuff like that. And then you got your ankle socks for summertime.
Jase Robertson
But you don't wear socks.
Si Robertson
What is it?
Godwin
I don't. Because they just. You never can find them. Look in the drawer. And in the wintertime, all your ankle socks are in the way. Summertime, you can't find them. I don't get it.
Si Robertson
No, no, because same thing. What is it with women with holes in socks? Underwear or T shirts that if you walk by one. Especially if I walk by my wife.
Godwin
First thing they see.
Si Robertson
Oh, no. Hey, it's ripping. It's being ripped off.
Godwin
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Roman's still alive.
Jase Robertson
Oh, no.
Si Robertson
Hey, yo.
Godwin
I wore some socks the other day at the hunting camp. They had a hole in the top of them.
Willie Robertson
You ain't gonna see them again.
Godwin
She said, there's a hole in them socks. I said.
Si Robertson
My wife wouldn't have said nothing. All you would have heard was Rip.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah, yeah. If I leave my clothes or something. Brittany, get them out. If there was anything that even looked like a hole or a potential of a hole. Yeah, I'm just gonna have an odd shirt.
Godwin
Shirt's got a wrinkle in it. Shirts got a wrinkle in it.
Willie Robertson
Yep.
Jase Robertson
I've got.
Godwin
Don't worry about the church.
Jase Robertson
I've probably got a hundred socks, and only, like, four of them are paired together.
Godwin
Yeah, I know.
Jase Robertson
I read some. I. I don't know where. I don't know.
Willie Robertson
Kids I got to look forward to when my kids get old.
Godwin
Universal. That's a universal problem most of the time.
Si Robertson
Hey, you got different socks on.
Jase Robertson
I got the same socks on today, but most of the time, my socks are different.
Si Robertson
Yeah, Mark gave me that duck commander sock.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
I wore them for a week.
Willie Robertson
They gone.
Si Robertson
No.
Godwin
Oh, they walk by themselves.
Willie Robertson
Are they good?
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah, they're good. Comfortable.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Si Robertson
Real comfortable.
Willie Robertson
Hey, that's.
Jase Robertson
I still got a couple pair of the old, old duck.
Willie Robertson
Me too, though. I got the old green ones that I wear just about every day of hunting season. I got some pair of.
Si Robertson
Well, that's like my army socks that I used to give Jason Wood and all them.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
You know, Jason still got the. The hat. The winter hat.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Si Robertson
That I gave him.
Godwin
Helmet line.
Si Robertson
That's been like 50 years ago.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
I've got some socks with Phil's face on them that I will never get rid of. They're awesome. I wear them to church all the time. I need some with your face on them.
Si Robertson
So they put my face on everything else.
Willie Robertson
Can't afford them.
Jase Robertson
You know what's important?
Willie Robertson
What?
Jase Robertson
Good quality rest.
Willie Robertson
Oh, I know it, man.
Jase Robertson
Even the good Lord rested on the seventh day.
Willie Robertson
Well, you know, the worst thing about traveling is not being in your bed. And especially whenever it's a Helix mattress that's involved.
Jase Robertson
Oh, I can't stand not being on my Helix mattress.
Willie Robertson
That's what I'm talking about. We just got back from that trip, and neither one of us, Brittany nor myself, slept worth a rip.
Jase Robertson
You wanna know why? Because your mattress wasn't made tailor made for you.
Willie Robertson
I know. We were on a mattress made for everybody. And not one made for ourselves like our friends over at Helix do. Because, you know, when you take the quiz, you take the sleep quiz. It's two minutes, and then they gonna.
Jase Robertson
Match you with the right mattress.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Jase Robertson
You had to have one that's all firm and nice and weird and firm because that's you. And I had to have one that was like a soft fluffy cloud. Because that's me.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Jase Robertson
Are you a back sleeper?
Willie Robertson
Oh, 100%.
Jase Robertson
Me too. But that's part of the quiz. And that's why I'm a moonlight Lux man.
Willie Robertson
We've had it for three years now and it is legit been the best sleep we have ever had. And the unashamed guys have them. Sadie's got one. They are seriously the best. And J, I know your mother in law was like, where y'all get that mattress?
Jase Robertson
Oh, I've had many people, yeah, ask me about it.
Willie Robertson
And if you have a Fitbit or something, just if all those things Apple watch, all the things just track your sleep. It'll tell you how good it is. Like, you don't have to take our word for it. Let science tell you. But it is seriously the thing that I miss most when I'm not at home is not having the Helix mattress. And you sleep better, you feel better, you play better, all the things, you look better. Because even, even coming back from the keys, I was like, I mean, I go to get in the airport, I'm like, dad gum, my back hurts. Right? I mean just. And my back ain't hurt in months. But just three days, we'll do that to you. And if you're interested, do we have something for you right now. You can get 20% off plus two free pillows with any mattress purchase. Go to helixleep.com duck. That's helixleep.com to get 20% off plus two free Pillows. But you don't know what you're getting Ms. Paula for Christmas? No, most of our.
Godwin
I usually get. I don't want to get her something for a hunt and I want it to be special. So they might have to go shopping.
Willie Robertson
She's gonna get her something for fishing. No, I'd be special. Can't be for hunting. Yeah, she needs some new zip off britches, box jigs. You can turn these bridge. Paula, look, you can turn these britches into shorts with the power of a zipper. Watch.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. So Martin wants socks.
Willie Robertson
I don't want side. I always. I appreciate them. Now most of ours was wrapped up in this trip. That was our. Yeah, that was our deal.
Godwin
That's what you do now when you get married, you start doing stuff. Say, we'll just do this for Christmas. This will be our Christmas present. Yeah, but you're gonna have something on the tree, so don't ever doubt it. You better get something.
Willie Robertson
No, I've already got her.
Godwin
Don't not get her something.
Jase Robertson
That was the problem. Allison. Our. Her birthday's the 7th. Our anniversary is the 18th, and Christmas, and then I'm broken. But she got a new car in October, so I was gonna try and just put a bow on the stupid car every. No, you gotta do something at least. Are you getting drunk?
Godwin
If you asked her what she wants for Christmas and she says nothing, that's a lie. She's lying. Yeah, you better get her something.
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah, I got her, like, air fresheners for a birthday.
Willie Robertson
Hey, there you go. That's good.
Jase Robertson
It's simple.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, well, yours, kind of. You can always find, like, a cooking game.
Godwin
Dishwashing liquid. You can get her some dishwashing liquid.
Jase Robertson
She would actually like that. Yeah, I did buy an expensive vacuum one time for Christmas, and that didn't seem to go over well, even though it's what she said she wanted.
Godwin
Yeah, back when I was team roping, I bought some spurs for Paula that fit me. Uh oh, same size foot for her birthday.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, there you go.
Jase Robertson
Best I ever saw.
Si Robertson
Yee haw.
Godwin
I said, here you go. She looked at him, I said, you like them? She said, throw them at me. So I put them on, but that hurt.
Jase Robertson
Hey. The best I ever saw, though. One Christmas, the biggest gift was for my mom, and we didn't. Nobody knew what it was my dad got it for, and we didn't know what it was going to be. And it was a steel backpack leaf blower.
Willie Robertson
Really? Janice use it a lot?
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah. She was mad. But then she loved it. She was like, did you really just get me a leaf bower for Christmas?
Godwin
Paula would like something like lawnmower or something. She'd rather. She'd rather work outside than inside.
Willie Robertson
Oh, you get Ms. Paula a new weed eater. God.
Godwin
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
I don't want a weed eater. I hate a weed eater.
Willie Robertson
No, I love him. Weed eaters are fun, man.
Godwin
Yeah, get one of them new electricity, battery operated one.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, there you go. Oh, keep gas and that stuff.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, I have one of them. The battery don't work no more.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, that was a farce. What you getting, Christine? Nothing.
Jase Robertson
Nothing.
Willie Robertson
A sweater. Are you ready?
Si Robertson
Got to check what she gets what she wants.
Willie Robertson
You make her rap it too.
Godwin
There you go.
Jase Robertson
What an age.
Willie Robertson
You Robertson's hopeless romantics, man.
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah, it is tough. People like side gift, though, goes, hey.
Si Robertson
If I buy or something, and then she don't like it, I just wait.
Willie Robertson
You get.
Si Robertson
You got the checkbook. Go buy what you want.
Godwin
But you have her something, and it's head in plain sight, you know?
Willie Robertson
Oh, no.
Godwin
It's actually a prison.
Jase Robertson
You have it.
Willie Robertson
Hunter laughing over.
Godwin
I got it. I got a rapid.
Jase Robertson
You got to wrap it.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Godwin
But it's. It's like, why didn't I look there? One of them places. Proverbial snake, I'd say.
Willie Robertson
Trying to think of. I can't think of anything that Paula doesn't use. Where you would put it.
Jase Robertson
I'm confused.
Godwin
That's what I'm talking about.
Willie Robertson
Like, you know, sometimes you just, like, put something in the microwave because it don't ever get you.
Jase Robertson
No, but the microwave.
Willie Robertson
Not at our house.
Jase Robertson
But the best thing to do is get somebody something that they can cook you a meal with.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Jase Robertson
That is a move.
Willie Robertson
That's a solid. Look.
Jase Robertson
That is a fail.
Godwin
As old as time boss. Spices. That'd be good. Hello. Set. Set of pit ball spices for Paula. For me.
Willie Robertson
Oh, for you.
Jase Robertson
For me.
Willie Robertson
Oh, so we're making your list now. Okay.
Jase Robertson
Hey, no, but look, we do get a lot of emails in, like, what do I get my dad for Christmas?
Si Robertson
Well, I like that. Yeah. Watches. Yeah. A full array of spices.
Godwin
Some of them say pineapple.
Si Robertson
Hey, I got a bunch of it.
Jase Robertson
Only sage.
Si Robertson
I got a bunch of.
Willie Robertson
Only sage, baby.
Jase Robertson
Every year, we get my dad something new to cook on.
Willie Robertson
That's a good look. He cooked for y'all every Sunday.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. And so I benefit from it.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. That's a solid. That's a solid.
Si Robertson
That's a solid gift.
Jase Robertson
He deep fried the pork loin the other last night. It was good.
Willie Robertson
Dad's. I mean, I would say they were pretty easy. Just get them a widget. Like, they all enjoy something.
Jase Robertson
They act like we're the toughest people to buy for, but we're really not.
Willie Robertson
No, just Cajun fryer.
Godwin
Get him a Cajun fryer.
Jase Robertson
Cajun or just something to put in a Cajun fry like my dad. Every year for his birthday, I just go to the grocery store, go with.
Si Robertson
Emerald with his air fryers now. Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Are you know about air fryer now? What do you air fry?
Si Robertson
I just look at. See the commercial?
Willie Robertson
Oh, he's on an infomercial.
Si Robertson
Yeah, commercials.
Willie Robertson
You watch tv?
Godwin
One time she said we need to get one of them George Foreman grills. It's. It's healthier.
Jase Robertson
Hey, there's not a better guarantee in life. What are you bad mouth on a George Foreman grill?
Godwin
Huh? No, she said it's healthy because all the grease falls out of it. I said have you seen George Foreman?
Jase Robertson
That is a good point.
Willie Robertson
He was a heavyweight champion.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Yeah. Do they still make division?
Godwin
We used to have one. Boy, it made some good, hot ham sandwiches, because you can put the ham on and the. And the cheese on the other side. Put them together, and you'd smash that down.
Willie Robertson
Oh, you get them little burn marks on your ham.
Godwin
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
When I tell you the George Foreman grill got me through college. I think it's the only thing I knew how to cook on.
Willie Robertson
I can see that.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
You couldn't really screw nothing up on him.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, you just put whatever you want on there, close it, and come back in a minute and eat it.
Si Robertson
Eat it. Yeah, that's right.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Godwin
It was awesome.
Willie Robertson
I do like a. I do like a tabletop, like, panini maker and stuff like that, just to get bread and stuff, like, cheese melted and bread a little bit crispier. Like, I'm in on those things. Way better than a toaster.
Godwin
Like, I need to get. I want one of them flat grills.
Willie Robertson
Flat grills. What's like a griddle? A griddle?
Si Robertson
Yep.
Jase Robertson
Some call it a griddle. It depends on how high class you are.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, a griddle.
Jase Robertson
That's what we got my dad one for. It's a great.
Willie Robertson
Johnny D's. Got one now.
Jase Robertson
I got one.
Godwin
I want a band.
Jase Robertson
You know who uses it more? I got it for myself. You know who uses it more than me? Allison, you bailed.
Godwin
That rice, fried rice, anything you want.
Willie Robertson
You'll never cook bacon anywhere else again. Once you.
Godwin
Oh, it'd be so easy because you.
Willie Robertson
Can cook a whole pack of bacon. And, like, you know what else is.
Jase Robertson
Good at making bacon, though? George Foreman.
Willie Robertson
Really?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
George. Well, it's a. It's a griddle.
Jase Robertson
It's a table, but it's both sides.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
George Foreman made $200 million on that thing. We got to come up with something.
Godwin
It was a good tool.
Jase Robertson
It still is.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Godwin
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
We got to bring the George Foreman back. I went to college with the girl that lived next door to George Foreman.
Godwin
Did you?
Willie Robertson
For real?
Jase Robertson
Yeah. I drove past his house one time.
Willie Robertson
That's it.
Jase Robertson
In Houston.
Willie Robertson
In Houston.
Jase Robertson
She was like, oh, yeah, this is my house. I said, who lives at the place down the road? And she was like, oh, that's Mr. Foreman.
Godwin
That's Mr. Joel.
Willie Robertson
I'd be kind of tight if you got to, like, call George Foreman. George. What's up, George?
Jase Robertson
I don't know that they ever met. He had a very large wall around his house. Yeah, most do it Was a big house built by little tiny 34 grills.
Willie Robertson
That's all. Yeah, that's American dream right there, man.
Jase Robertson
Be able to punch someone so hard you can sell $200 million worth of grills.
Godwin
Knock the money out of him.
Si Robertson
That's right. He's knocked out money.
Willie Robertson
Just hold on. Sigh.
Jase Robertson
That's what we got to do. I. That's it. We're all about to retire. We need an Uncle Si kitchen appliance. That's as good as.
Willie Robertson
Oh, the uncle side tea maker. We smash.
Jase Robertson
What?
Willie Robertson
You just put a bag of tea and walk away, Come back and there's a whole thing done.
Si Robertson
That's right.
Jase Robertson
Just now happening.
Si Robertson
A whole gallon.
Willie Robertson

Jase Robertson
They can't use him.
Willie Robertson

Godwin
He would.
Willie Robertson
Uncle side tea maker.
Jase Robertson
I used to have that tea maker that you.
Godwin

Jase Robertson
You put the water in the top.
Willie Robertson

Jase Robertson
What is that? No good.
Si Robertson

Willie Robertson
Outside always run.
Godwin
He don't know how to operate.
Si Robertson

Willie Robertson

Jase Robertson
And then one of our top episodes was, for some reason, Martin working at a circus. I have no recollection you worked at a circus.
Willie Robertson
No, but I put together toys for the circus.
Godwin
Did you?
Willie Robertson
For Bayrak.
Godwin
Didn't.
Willie Robertson
The Shriner Circus had always come to town, like when I was.
Godwin
Oh, my daddy.
Si Robertson
You did the toys for him when I.
Willie Robertson
Well, when I was a kid, so my grandfather and my father were both Shriners.
Si Robertson
Okay.
Godwin
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
So part of the deal, like, the way they keep the cost down on all that stuff for to, you know, to have a good price. Circus.
Jase Robertson
Child labor.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, it's child. Well, not even child, but like, everybody was a member in their family. Went out there and like, the toys come.
Si Robertson
Oh, that's cool.
Willie Robertson
Seven different parts. And you would assemble them before they sold them. And so that was always. I did That I don't know, till my grandfather quit or, you know, passed away doing the Shriner stuff. Yeah, I did that my whole life. Growing up, we would. I mean, it's always fun because, like, as a kid, I got to see the toys before everybody else. But I don't care if I ever put together one those flashlight sabers ever again in my life. You know, you throw it out there and it's just a lot.
Jase Robertson
20 bucks now.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, it was. It was a toughie, man, putting them D batteries in there and then having to make sure all that stuff was lined up.
Jase Robertson
D batteries are expensive, too.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. But no, I did that. Me and my brother, my cousins and my grandparents and my dad, like, all the whole Martin family was out there helping with assemble Shriner toys for the local Bayrack Shriner Circus here in Munro of Louisiana. Every. Every year for that.
Godwin
That was my dad.
Willie Robertson
Always something to look for because the old women were who, you know, were married to the Shriners. I mean, most times Shriners were older people. Most of the time, the old women cook for everybody. So, like, you got like, Grandma's cooking times 20, right. I mean, you know, because there was like a potluck. Yeah. But every family, signature dishes were there because that was always a big deal for the women to feed all the volunteers and stuff together. The money for the circus, which then in turn raised money for the Shriners hospitals, which does a lot of great work for kids and. And all the things. So, yeah, it was a. That was a core memory of my life, was putting together toys for the people. Lover Circus. Yeah, man.
Jase Robertson
You putting together toys and Carter starting off the side.
Si Robertson
