[D]

She's back. Hi there.

[E]

Glad to be back. Glad to be back.

[C]

How's life treating you?

[E]

Thanks for inviting me, actually. Welcome. When John Chris was here, he asked if I. Why. Why am I not doing it with them? Why is Willie doing it? And I was like, well, they don't really let me. This is just like a man's world in here. And then Hunter was, like, so confused. He looked at me like, wait, you're in here a lot. I was like, just kidding.

[C]

Yeah, no, there's.

[B]

I was about to say there's.

[C]

There. That is not a trip. We invite all sorts of females in.

[B]

There's a group thread about this podcast where there's one man who said, we need more female. More women.

[D]

More women.

[B]

Females.

[E]

Nice.

[B]

It's me.

[C]

We've now had all of our wives. You, Bella, a therapist, Dr. Jones.

[E]

I've seen people. They want more Bella, too, and they love your wives. I know that.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

That is a common.

[C]

We do, too. I think they just like it because they put us in place. We're generally a lot more calm.

[D]

Fact checker is here.

[C]

The fact checker, Ms. Christine. We need to bring her back. But you know who we talked about we need to have. Well, we'd love your opinion on this.

[B]

Very recently, we talked about a foreign exchange cousin of mine.

[C]

She's your oldest child, but she's not

[E]

have Rebecca on your firstborn. Has she ever been on.

[B]

She's never been on here.

[E]

What?

[B]

But you know what brought her up?

[E]

Becca's got lots of stories. Y' all need Rebecca.

[B]

Well, you know what brought her up?

[E]

What?

[B]

The filet o fish. And I was like, you know, who loves a filet fish? And then we.

[E]

That, like, every day for a while. Years. Yeah, but.

[B]

But we have all these visitors from the World cup from all over the world, and they're posting about their opinions of America. And I was like, we need to have Rebecca, who just came at 16, come tell us.

[E]

She's got lots of stories from that first year. That was interesting when she gained, like, 40 pounds with American food.

[B]

See, I love I mentioned that, but I did not put any specifics like you just did on it, so.

[C]

Okay. Because that's her mom.

[B]

That's a good point.

[C]

Well, you're just a cousin.

[E]

She's very open about it. It was true.

[C]

And when Bella posts those pictures, it

[E]

makes me laugh because, oh, Rebecca has banned us. And she literally gets mad at us if we post any pictures from her teenage years. And she was cute. She had a very specific style, too, that was different and unique. Y' all need to have her on. That would be fun.

[B]

It was called private school Taiwanese. That was her specific style.

[C]

Who just found McDonald's?

[E]

No, the thing is. No, here was the thing over there. They had to wear uniforms for everything. Like, uniforms. They had to have their hair cut the same way, and all this for school. And so she was just, like, loving expressing her personal style. So she was very expressive with her style, which was fun and it was cute, and it was really ahead of the game. Like, everything she wore that first year, I felt, like, became popular here, like, a year or two later.

[C]

We're so far behind where we are.

[B]

We love West Monroe just for that reason.

[C]

We just come back in. You never leave it if you.

[D]

She was always one. Her dress was. Was excellent.

[E]

Yeah, it's true. It's true. She's got a good style. And now she has a new store opening.

[C]

So, yeah, that's why we're like, man, why haven't we had her on here? Because, yeah, the World cup people are. They make us laugh with.

[B]

They're my. It's my favorite thing in the whole world.

[C]

We're trying to figure out if Freddie from Twitter is gonna just live here.

[D]

He ain't going back.

[B]

He ain't going back.

[D]

I don't think he's going back.

[B]

You don't know Freddy?

[E]

No.

[B]

Freddy is the most popular man in America right now.

[C]

Yeah, you need to log back into Twitter. It's probably been a minute.

[E]

I'm. I'm off of all social media right now, which I need to get back on, because I do feel like I'm missing out on some stuff.

[C]

You need to follow Freddy.

[B]

This random guy from Germany, him and his buddies came here. They were going to Rent a car and just stay here for a month and figure out how to get around. And he's like, tweeting back to his German brethren, y', all, this Taco Bell stuff is amazing. And then he's like, everything you've heard about America, we're wrong. This place is great. Then we all fell in love with him. Next thing you know, he was meeting with the mayor of Houston yesterday, sitting behind home plate at the Astros game. Went to the headquarters of Raising Canes.

[C]

He got full VIP experience at lsu. Like, got to go hang out with Mike the Tiger.

[D]

He's.

[C]

He's now apparently friends with somebody who runs all of Ella Langley stuff.

[B]

Oh, yeah, he's going to meet Ella Langley. He's an Ella fella.

[D]

Oh, here's going.

[C]

He ate at Waffle House. He ate at Bucky's. He's not going back home.

[D]

Yeah, it was going for y'.

[F]

All.

[D]

I hunted on a guy's land that the revere. The guy that owned it, you know, let me hunt on. On his revere. And he went. He come to America. Then when he come back, he said. He said, hey, why didn't you tell me? I couldn't drive to where all the places I wanted to drive in America? And I said, well, you didn't ask me. He said, I think I couldn't get over how big it was.

[E]

Oh, yeah, it's a big place.

[D]

They drive from, you know, Germany to Spain right quick.

[E]

Well, here's my. Here is my one knock on America. Because we were watching the show last night. We were watching this. Like, y' all seen that on pbs? Like, this Land.

[C]

I haven't, but I'm sure SAI has.

[E]

It's. It's a good show. It's like. It just talks about, like, things happen in America, whatever.

[C]

I've actually been enthralled with the world.

[E]

Now that we're grandparents, we're into pbs, so it's called this Land. And it was, like, about the train, like, the railway getting through, like, the Rocky Mountains. Like, how did. How did they do that? That was amazing that they did that and the amount of workers it took to do all that. But why didn't train stick for passengers, like, in Europe? Like, that's the big best thing about Europe. You can just get on a train and go anywhere. You can go to other countries, but, like, we could go from state to state on the train. We should. Why don't we?

[B]

Have you ever ridden a train in America?

[E]

Yeah, once.

[B]

Where'd you go?

[E]

Okay, this is a funny Story.

[B]

So did you do the New Orleans to Chicago train?

[E]

We did. We did Jackson to New Orleans. It was a. It was a little surprise. Valentine's trip is my friend and I.

[B]

Romantic.

[E]

It was romantic. We. We actually blindfolded them. We didn't tell them where they. We were going. We blindfolded them and handcuffed them together. I don't know why. Why that. Why that element while we did that. That was just extra fun. And we got on a train, we went down to New Orleans. We went to New Orleans from Jackson. From Jackson.

[B]

They. And you know what? That made it a four hours longer trip than just. If you had just drove.

[E]

That's actually true because we had to drive to Jackson.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You drove on the train and wait on the train.

[G]

And then.

[E]

Yeah, you haven't done the Chicago, but our Bella has. She did it. She went to the Chicago Cubs game with my aunt. They did the train.

[B]

I did the train from New Orleans to Jackson because one time you dropped me off in New Orleans when Carter was in the hospital down there, and I was like, ooh. Corey was like, hey, free ride if you need to get to New Orleans. I was like, I'm in. Then I was like, how am I going to get home? I was like, I'm taking the train. Like a proper European.

[C]

Would that work out?

[B]

Not a. It took four hours to get to Jackson. I could have been home if I was just in a car, but I wasn't complaining because I got it free ride down there. And so it kind of worked out on the way back. And my mom picked me up in Jackson.

[E]

But that's the thing. Like, why didn't we just keep going with the train situation? Because I love the trains in Europe. That's so nice to get to just go anywhere, get on a train, you

[D]

know, because if you look them up, they've got a lot of tours on trains.

[B]

Minivans are bad in America, I think

[E]

is the minivans are the.

[B]

The crux of the situation. We figured out minivans.

[E]

I told Willie, it's like, I think we're too independent as Americans. Like, we want our own vehicle. We want to be on our own time. We want to be on our own schedule. We don't want to be dependent on everybody else to go.

[C]

Yeah. Because being a captive audience on a train sounds like. I want misery to me.

[E]

Not be very American as a.

[C]

As a guy who is a.

[D]

Well, you can't get off. You. You know, you got to rest.

[C]

All that's what I'm saying.

[D]

Can't get off.

[E]

Can't get off.

[B]

I once saw an Italian man slap another Italian man over stealing a sandwich on a train. And I was like, man, I don't know about all this train stuff.

[C]

Yeah, see, where does that fall?

[E]

We're getting into all of John David's fears, I feel like. Does that. Who podcast. Hey, look, John Davis.

[B]

It was a little bitty man slapping a giant man. The giant man stole the little bitty man sandwich while he was asleep. Basically, a European train is a bus, a Greyhound bus, more people.

[D]

It's a baritage. And just, hey, in Dixie, you know, we had a train that run right. Right across the road. Yeah, well, hey, hobos would get off of these things.

[B]

Oh, great. Great advertisement for trains.

[D]

Oh, and look, the Rob.

[C]

I don't think this is a passenger train. This is a.

[D]

This is. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

This is a freight train.

[D]

Yeah. Freight trains call it hauling goods.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Did they have them little sticks, I've always wondered, did they have a stick with their stuff on it? The hoes you saw, did they have a stick with all their clothes?

[D]

Some of them did. Yeah.

[E]

They really did.

[C]

They really did.

[D]

And the big. The big red handkerchief, that was what they rolled up, tied on in a stick, you know? But our house, all the hobos everywhere knew the Robinson home, really. But, hey, stop there, because you get a good meal.

[C]

So y' all been taking in strays for years?

[D]

Oh, no, no. Mom and Daddy was just like Kay and genetic.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

No, no, I'm serious, Joe. They come home with the most strange people you'd ever want to see. And. Yeah, sounds like, hey, that's where. That's where Kay and Phil got it.

[C]

Well, Phil never came home with them. They just always ended up there.

[G]

You know what I'm liking?

[C]

What?

[G]

Since I've been on this PhD, what's that? I got in that arm slanging club. I can walk. Let me tell you. I can walk a long way.

[C]

Your waist about to catch your legs, huh?

[H]

Good.

[C]

That's good.

[B]

You need to borrow some pants, Scott.

[G]

I tell you, it is crazy. Most weight loss plants have one thing in common. They quit working eventually. And when that happens, usually the weight comes right back. But PhD weight loss, it's different. I'm 19 weeks into the PhD weight loss program, 38 pounds down, and I like it because they give you some food in these little packets. The milk, the shakes. I really like them because I can do them on the boat, too.

[C]

Everybody knows what worked for you before doesn't always work again because your body Fights weight loss every step of the way when it's under stress. GOP1 droves can work as a quick fix, but they don't always take care of what's causing the actual problem in the first place. Look, PhD weight loss works with you to develop a plan that works with your body and focuses on restoring your metabolism for good so your body stops fighting you. The goal isn't to lose weight just once. It's to never have to start over again. And right now you can call PhD weight loss and mention and you'll get two free weeks in the program and they'll pay for your food. That's a fifteen hundred dollar value, completely free. Call 8646 and say Darwin again. That's 864-644-1900 or visit myphdweightloss.com.

[D]

Kids would go somewhere and the next thing you go because me and Phil mom said, hey, go to the store. The store was like 300 yards away. Go to the store. I need a loaf of bread and some milk and a dozen eggs. But we always as a gin in between the store and the house, you know, we'd always go through the gin just clowning around. Well, we as a hobo in there asleep, you know, and he looked like he was a thousand years old. Dirty, filthy beard, all this, you know.

[C]

Yep.

[D]

You know. So we come back and that's scary, you know. We come back with the bread and eggs and all this, you know. Then we told mom said, you know, as a man down in the, in the gym, she said, go, go get him. Wake him up real gently. Bring, bring back to the house.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

You know, we looked at mama said papa, he could be a killer, a serial killer or something, you know. She said, go get that man. And hey, you wake him up gently. No. As you bring him to the house, startling. As soon as we bring him in the house, Mama jumps on him with both feet. Get in that. The bathroom's right there. Get in there. Take them nasty clothes off, throw them outside. Okay. Take you a bath. When you get out through taking a bath, I'm gonna cut your hair, shave you. Wow. Yo, this guy his size that big around? Yes, ma'.

[A]

Am.

[D]

Yes, ma'. Am.

[E]

That's amazing. He could have been an angel.

[D]

Oh, no.

[E]

He could be an angel.

[D]

Anyway, she bites his guy. Wash you over you clean. Gives him some dad's clothes, burns them things that he had on.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

Okay. Feeds him. He ate a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon.

[E]

That's awesome.

[B]

All because of the train.

[D]

All right, yo.

[E]

Well, that is a great example of.

[D]

No, no hospitality.

[E]

That's right. I love it. That's the thing.

[D]

All the hobos knew, hey, you go through Dixie, Louisiana, jump off and go to the Robinson house.

[B]

Because you keep using the term all the hobos. Approximately how many hobos would you say knew where you live?

[E]

Oh, if we can even use the word hobo anymore. Politically incorrect.

[D]

I. Look, they was moving through the country all the time.

[C]

What's hobo short for? You got the Internet. I'm just.

[E]

I want to say something.

[B]

I think you actually have to say a dehomed individual.

[H]

Now.

[D]

Hobo homeless person is what a hobo

[E]

is someone without home.

[D]

Historically, we call them a big term adventure. Drift spirits.

[B]

It's often a stowaway on freight trains.

[E]

Wait, but what's it short for?

[C]

It does. Yeah. It's not short for anything. I don't know. That's why I was trying to say,

[E]

look, like, where did that come from?

[D]

You could get hurt because they had a guy that rode the train or hit kick off, and, hey, if they gave him any trouble, he had a big ax.

[E]

Wow.

[B]

What?

[D]

No, no, it was dangerous to ride him.

[C]

I agree.

[B]

Well, that is the danger, is not the fact you're jumping on a moving train. It's the guy with an axe hand ready to whoop you.

[D]

Yeah, I'm telling you, it was rough. It was rough.

[E]

I'm telling you, it was rough. It was rough.

[C]

Why you reckon they got mad at him for jumping on a train?

[D]

Hey, who.

[C]

There was room. Let them ride.

[D]

Oh, hey, what are they causing if

[B]

somebody jumps in your rig in the back of your truck at a stoplight, or you just, like, let them r.

[C]

Well, no, but I'm not a train either. Yeah, that's carrying empty space.

[E]

Well, I think the guy. Wait, I think the guy with the axe handle, was he, like, another hobo that was just, like, running the place, or was it.

[C]

Oh, no, he's secure.

[E]

They put him on there to do that. He wasn't like, vision and, like, he

[C]

wouldn't like the hobo.

[E]

Yeah, this is my street. This is my street. This is my, like, car. That's what I was envisioning.

[D]

But, hey, get out of here.

[E]

I've watched too many movies.

[D]

But we got Zara. After. After, Mama would clean them up and feed them. Yo, we'd get down, sit down, and actually talk to the person, actually. Yo, how did you get. You know where you're at?

[E]

I love that.

[D]

Some of the stories they tell could

[C]

you imagine just going and jumping on a train?

[D]

Oh, no. Homeless.

[C]

Homeless boy. There were no female hobos, probably.

[D]

Well, I don't know about that. They may have.

[B]

Or Homeward bounds were smarter.

[E]

Figured out they were smarter than.

[C]

No, you can't start anything with a female with hoe. Because that's not right.

[E]

No, you cannot. You cannot.

[B]

Unless you spell it. Eaux.

[E]

I want to say this about the Robertson family. I think that that is such a beautiful description of, like, what passed down, because I saw that when I very first came into the Roberts family, fifth grade. I remember they didn't have much then. Duck Commander was still not, you know, doing well. But they were so hospitable, giving you the shirt off their back, feed you whatever they had. And that comes from Granny and Paul. And you saw that growing up. I love.

[D]

Bella asked me, you know, what was Granny really like? I said, granny was a hoot. I said, well, because I was, you know, she. She. She had met so many. Wow. Life experiences. Like, she. You know, during the war, World War II, Daddy joined the Navy. Well, Mama. Hey, Mama got on a bus, and she would grab a sailor by the arm and say, I'm your wife till I. We get to the next. Next stop.

[E]

Wow.

[C]

Why didn't she take the train?

[D]

Number in the train too long. It was illegal. You know, you didn't. Traveling was, you know, was out as a female. Well, yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

So she said, hey, I'm your. You know. I guess if you were Los Angeles,

[C]

that's where it was a lady, really.

[E]

She made her way all the way to.

[D]

Yeah. Hey. And then she actually riveted B52 bombers.

[E]

Really? I didn't know that.

[D]

Crazy stuff.

[E]

Wow. I didn't know that.

[D]

Yeah. And look, Mama drove her. I don't know if it was her dad or grandfather, but anyway, one of them, he had get up early in the morning, right at daylight, put on a pair of old leather boots, just slipped on, no socks, and go check his garden. Well, when he come back in and take him off and take a nap, Mama would put his boots on and go get her either a cantaloupe or watermelon and eat it. He'd come back and he said, I know you're the one that's doing it, Merritt. And he said, but I just. For the life of me, I can't figure out, you know, how. How you do it.

[C]

He's slick.

[E]

Now, that's funny.

[C]

Well, Corey, thanks for stopping by. We know you got to go. You gotta. You got a two o' Clock time out of here.

Your show. You guys do a great podcast. Hey, I would love to know if any of you sustained any injuries while filming for Duck Dynasty.

[B]

My ego.

[H]

God bless you all. Have a great day.

[C]

Injuries. I had one. I guess you'd call it an injury. I busted my eardrum at that redneck water park whenever they had me go off that rope swing for the. Off the excavator.

[B]

That would have been fun.

[C]

Yeah, I just wasn't quite as athletic as I thought I was. I was. I was at peak mature athlete during that episode. I think I was about 310 when I went off that thing and landed on the side. And my right eardrum said, not today.

[B]

You get injured?

[D]

No, I don't think I got any.

[C]

Well, I got stung by them stupid bees, too. That was real for all y' all

[D]

that I liked the injury.

[C]

Did you? Oh, when you got.

[D]

You had to get the Willie burn up with his truck.

[B]

Yeah, Willie was injured every other week.

[D]

Right, Willie? Willie did get injured.

[C]

That boy is one athletic move away from an injury next to power lines, huh? Why is he.

[B]

Why is he so injury prone?

[C]

Because that's the easiest way to get out of anything to be hurt. Like, why why? Like that's the easiest way when you read it. When you realize. When you realize that your mouth has overloaded your rear.

[D]

I smell Amy gone conspiracy coming up here.

[B]

That boy gets hurt a lot.

[C]

He does get hurt a lot. Then two days later he's back at by you desired. So I don't know. That's the country club. But you let him be five down on a match play deal in there too. And all of a sudden that back

[B]

tightens, something tightens up.

[C]

I just took my butt whooping like a man. Like sometimes you just take it like a man.

[B]

I ate that jar of jalapenos in the.

[D]

In the lose.

[B]

Yeah, he does hate to lose. He never has.

[C]

He'll lose on a technicality.

[C]

Goblin legitimately threw up after Eating them pickles. I saw that. And that was big Goblin. That ain't the man we got here today.

[D]

So what kind of pickles?

[C]

Remember them pickles found in a duck blind?

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

I mean, gobble all.

[D]

The one I remember eating them is stinky. Yes.

[C]

Well, Zinky started the. The trend.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Then here we go.

[D]

He threw up after eating some old.

[C]

Oh God. One. Yeah, of course he did.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

Goblin ain't touched a dill pickle since.

[D]

Hey, look, they've been in there for 30 years.

[C]

But they're pickled. They don't ruin. Remember? That was the argument. They're pickled. Like pickled means good till Jesus comes back, apparently.

[D]

Which is.

[C]

I don't. Yeah, I think at some level vinegar does go bad.

[D]

I think.

[C]

I think vinegar too can go bad. But now that would have been busted eardrum and stung by them stupid bees.

[D]

Hey, one thing that don't go bad, though, is honey.

[C]

Ever.

[D]

They actually found that inside the pyramids.

[C]

Really?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

So they started Jurassic Park.

[D]

Yep.

[C]

I thought that was SAP.

[B]

Whatever.

[C]

Honey.

[D]

The bee is an amazing little creature.

[B]

Pure honey has an indefinite shelf life.

[C]

That's awesome.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I got the boys.

[B]

Archaeologists have found perfectly edible jars of honey and thousands of year old Egyptian tombs.

[C]

All right, Hunter, there we go. There's our injuries. No injuries. No, no major.

[B]

I do my best not to get injured.

[C]

Yeah, I really.

[B]

I tore my knee up at one of Sadie's birthday parties, but it wasn't filmed.

[D]

What was you doing?

[B]

They were hitting golf balls with a baseball bat. So I decided to show them kids who could really hit one real far because Christian was missing. I was like, I might actually be better at that than him.

[D]

Swung.

[B]

Missed. Knee crumbled.

[C]

Gone.

[B]

Crumbled.

[C]

Just gone.

[B]

Next day, my knee was bigger than my head and me and Willie were going to Montana to go fishing. I had a cane in the Denver Airport.

[C]

You got a cane?

[B]

What else was I gonna do?

[C]

Stay home?

[B]

We were going fly fishing in Montana. That was not an option. So I, I.

[C]

You had some serious FOMO back in the day, didn't you?

[B]

It was. Well, I would say I'd still do that. I wouldn't miss out on that one. I wouldn't miss out fly fishing in Montana.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

There's other stuff I would.

[D]

Did y' all catch any fish?

[B]

No, I don't know how to fly fish. They hand me a thing.

[C]

But I would imagine cold river water probably good for you.

[B]

That's the first. It's the best part of the whole thing. I went and Just stood in the water.

[C]

Basically, like ice bath. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, it was great. My knee was huge. And Sadie laughed. And I'm sure Christian still sells the story to this day. I mean, it was like old fat

[C]

man, small victories, right?

[H]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Felt like a go ahead.

[C]

Like Jared falling off that mountain.

[H]

Bite.

[C]

That's a toughie. All right, Hunter, what you. What else you got?

[H]

Hey, y'. All, this is Krista from West Virginia, and I was wondering if the feeling of being embarrassed just leaves when you become famous. And if so, what is, like, the most embarrassing thing you guys would say has happened since being famous? Anyways, love you all. Bye.

[B]

Let me go. Let me go. Let me go. Krista, I'm not famous. A. And B, I told everyone that listens to this. I crapped my pants when nobody was there to see it. So that was last episode. I told that for free.

[G]

And.

[C]

And before he told his wife.

[B]

Yeah. Still hadn't told her. I don't know that I get. I mean, I was embarrassed when you hurt yourself, but then I just told

[C]

that story, too, you know, I left. Embarrassment and high school, basically. High school football. Like a locker room. Once you get in there and realize everybody's human, it's like, no, no more embarrassment, guys. Like, there ain't nothing y' all can do to me that's gonna embarrass me. Like, I mean, I. Krista, I split my pants from my crotch to my ankle filming Duck Dynasty when I was on a date with that young fella right over there. When I tell you I split my pants from my crotch to my ankle. That was not set up and they didn't show it for fear of embarrassing me. And I was like, guys, I couldn't care less. Like, that kind of stuff.

[B]

You'd probably have 100,000 more Instagram followers this very day had they aired that.

[C]

I don't know if I just posted a video on my TikTok too, of me going to TikTok. Yeah, sometimes I play how old are you? I'm 40, and I don't know. I was told by people I should do it. So I go through. I post stuff on there. I don't post on Instagram and Facebook.

[B]

Am I going to have to get a tick tock to see what you're up to now?

[C]

Oh, this is old, man. This is me going down a slide on a pontoon boat that we rented on Lake Chickamauga, and I slid onto a giant unicorn raft and almost rode it out, then fell off of it backwards.

[B]

That's awesome, though.

[C]

With one strap on my. Here, I'll just send you the.

[B]

I already found it.

[C]

Oh, I was going.

[B]

You're not hard to find on Tik Tok.

[C]

Yeah. I'll send you the raw video. Like that kind of stuff does not bother me because I think the more human you can be to a lot of you. Watch that bottle though. I went under but the bottle didn't. And so that's funny. Oh yeah. Like, I don't. That stuff just straight doesn't bother me. I don't know. Like I try to embarrass Brittany in public all the time. I will cut wind in public just for funsies and watch her turn seven shades of gray. And now it. Or red. And now it is so fun because the boys will do it.

[B]

I don't know about but they announce it.

[C]

They go to DID and just their mom just. He's like, oh, this is what raising little boys are going to be like.

[B]

Boys are different.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So side was last time you were embarrassed?

[C]

I ain't never seen that boy embarrassed.

[D]

I can't think of nothing right now.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I've got one that I was genuinely embarrassed about.

[C]

I want.

[B]

I slept in one time whenever I was supposed to wake Willie up and we had like a 5:30 in the morning flight. Almost screwed up and got fired. That would. That's embarrassing.

[C]

But like they're singers that shameful.

[B]

I guess that's a good point.

[C]

That's a little more shame, right?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

It was like. Because it was total. It wasn't like oopsie, alarm clock. It was. Stayed up too late. Was a ding dong. Was irresponsible.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And then that's more shame than embarrassment. Okay. Is that what to me.

[C]

I think those two. Yeah. Embarrassing is almost like you can't avoid it. Like it's something unavoidable that.

[B]

Okay, yeah. I don't care.

[C]

Like splitting your pants in public. Like, who. Who cares? I'll just walk that sucker out. Like falling down. Lord knows. Lord knows I'm a pro at falling. Like, oh yeah. I have fallen out of a fish. A perfectly good fishing boat. Like, you know, for no other reason than I'm just clumsy.

[D]

Fall out of a duck.

[B]

Blind fall.

[C]

I fell face first out of a duck. And they were like, are you cool if we run this? It's like, yep. Doesn't you ain't that kind of stuff ain't going to bother me. Like, I just don't. I truly don't care, man. And it happens to everybody. It's just life. Like it is yeah, I've missed a duck like Rev. Run it. I don't care. Like, you write down my gun barrel, everything looks great and I miss. Run it. I don't care. Like, that stuff doesn't bother me. No reason to be embarrassed. You're human. Like I.

[B]

We've all been there. We've all had to reset the clock on the last time we crapped our pants.

[C]

Yeah. Hunter, when you was the last time you embarrassed yourself?

[F]

Every day. Every.

[D]

Every day, they said pretty regularly.

[C]

Hunter, you one of those people that looks in the mirror like, nobody hates me more than myself? Pretty much, yeah.

[D]

Why?

[C]

Yeah, you're a delight. You're a delightful human. I just want you to know that.

[F]

Oh, I appreciate it.

[C]

Yeah, I. I.

[F]

Nothing specific comes to mind. That was. It's. It's just every. Every day is a challenge.

[B]

No need to be embarrassed. Krista.

[C]

Yeah. Life happens, man.

[D]

Oh.

[F]

Oh.

[C]

I figured it out. I figured it out.

[F]

Okay, so my bosses came to town from North Carolina.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And Zach.

[F]

Yes.

[B]

The hats he wears should embarrass him, so nothing to be embarrassed of in

[F]

front of that guy or other North Carolina people. And we go eat, like, in downtown. And at the same time, they have a margarita crawl. And my parents were doing it.

[C]

Oh, your parents showed up to your boss's blitz?

[F]

I. I thought they did. And my mom was, like, hugging Jen and, like, meeting her and was saying, like, oh, you're the best. Like, Hunter talks about how much he loves working for y' all and yada ya. And I was like, oh, no. Like, the whole time, apparently my mom was sober.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Well, that's good. What about your dad? I know she didn't say nothing about him.

[F]

Oh, yeah, he was fine. He was. He's. He's medicated for his back right now, so he can't. He can't do any of that.

[C]

Oh, yeah. You were over there just dreading it, though.

[F]

Yeah, Yeah, I was, like, sweating bullets. I was like, oh, no.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

If your grandpa was there, you probably should have.

[C]

Yeah, toddlers. Or toddlers will really get that embarrassment meter down, too, because you just never know what's going to come out their mouth in public.

[B]

Try raising Carter Owens. Yeah, whatever he thinks is coming out.

[C]

Yeah. So, I mean, you just learn to deal with it. I just. I don't. Yeah, there you go. Good question, though. I do.

[B]

That's a good question.

[C]

I like that.

[B]

Also, he's famous.

[H]

You're.

[B]

You're not infamous.

[C]

I used to be.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

You're more than a regular guy. You're famous in some circles.

[C]

C plus.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm. I'm just the most famous cricket sweep of all time. I will say that of all the people that swept a cricket cage today,

[C]

nobody's got more followers than you. Not a single one of them.

[B]

Me and the other seven people that do that for a living.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

[A]

All.

Tritails is running $20 off their Father's Day box through June 22. It's packed with premium black Angus beef raised on a family ranch near Palo Duro Canyon in Texas. They're also celebrating America's 250th birthday all month long. So if you buy a prime ribeye special, you get two pounds of ground beef. For what? For free? We love the fact that Tritels is family run. The same people out there raising the cattle or packing your orders and shipping the beef directly to your door. They believe in doing things the right way. And you can taste the difference. Not you can't only taste it. You can see it whenever you open, smell it.

[B]

You can taste it. You can feel it. You can lick it all.

[D]

[H]

Okay.

[F]

From Duck Dynasty, so.

[C]

Oh, boy.

[B]

We might not either.

[C]

Oh. Might have to look it up.

[H]

Up.

[B]

Watch the episode again.

[H]

Hey, this is Jay Abner. I'll tell you where I'm from at the end of the message. But anyway, I got a question about the. During the Duck Dynasty show, there was a sack of duck detour decoys that was thrown on the roof. And if memory serves correct, they were placed up there so that you could see if Google Earth would update the image and show it.

[B]

So what? I knew I was meant to be in this room.

[H]

Could you refresh why that was done. And did you ever see an updated image? Anyway, I am from Kentucky.

[B]

I'm about to teach you something, Sir.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

The 2D above Monroe, Louisiana.

[C]

At the time, we thought Google Earth was, like, one of the coolest things that you could ever have.

[B]

At the time.

[C]

Yeah. It's not as cool because there's so many apps that have it now. Like, it's just. It's part of life now. At that time, it was groundbreaking stuff. Like, you could.

[D]

You're kind of getting only one available.

[B]

Yeah, you're kind of getting on my nerves.

[C]

Well, I'm just saying, Google Earth, all

[B]

satellite imagery is phenomenal.

[C]

It is. And the satellites have gotten way better, too. Way clearer pictures. But, yeah, it was just for a bunch of rednecks trying to figure out how often they updated that stuff. So we chunked them up there, and then after a while, they were not there no more because we are.

[B]

We got new.

[C]

We are an interesting part of town.

[B]

There you go, gang.

[C]

There they are.

[B]

That's gonna be November 2025.

[C]

Probably gonna have to get back.

[B]

We can go back to May 7, 2021 16. I bet my car's here now. Back here, we're at April of 2018. Look how much better the pictures.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

2015, we got a new roof in, like, 2014.

[D]

What?

[C]

There they are.

[D]

There they are.

[C]

There they are. That was 2012. Holy cow.

[B]

And you can barely.

[C]

That was 14 years ago.

[B]

And you can barely. You can't even tell what it is.

[C]

Hey, zoom out, though. Let's talk about Duck Commander for a minute. Look at how different this place is. Holy cow.

[D]

Y' all got.

[C]

Let's look at. Better yet, let's look at Buck Commander.

[B]

No, no, no.

[E]

Look at.

[B]

Oh, my goodness. Y' all.

[C]

Look at the p. Oh, I guarantee we were standing at the bay door.

[B]

This was March 27, 2013, when we had to expand the store because it was season two of the show.

[C]

Look at that.

[B]

The show had been on for a whole year.

[C]

Give me red. Back there.

[B]

Working on a park, we didn't have a parking lot. We were just letting people into the warehouse to buy stuff.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And they were just parking all along the trees.

[C]

Ain't that crazy?

[B]

One morning, working in the store, we counted 800 people waiting to get in.

[C]

When did we put the above ground swimming pool in next door?

[D]

That.

[C]

Not yet.

[B]

Not 2013, not 2015, 2016. It's there.

[C]

We had an above ground swimming pool.

[B]

Why?

[C]

Because who wouldn't? Where else would you want to have your lunch break I'm about to break

[B]

down for you how cool this place used to be.

[F]

You guys had an above ground.

[B]

We had a golf course, a Nintendo 64, an above ground pool, and a group that you had to pay $5 a week. And one of us would go buy sandwich stuff. And you'd have a sandwich at lunch with the panini press, mind you, and chips. Condiments galore. And then you could do that in about 15 minutes. And you'd have 45 minutes of what we like to call recess.

[C]

Yeah, recess. Yeah. Free time.

[B]

There was a pool.

[C]

There were homemade Disc. Disc. Golf basket.

[B]

We made them ourselves. Any doo doo is the key in that?

[C]

Yeah, there.

[B]

Nintendo 64.

[C]

Yeah, there was.

[B]

I was the best at Mario Kart.

[C]

A golf game.

[B]

Oh, yeah, we had the golf.

[C]

It wasn't Golden Tea.

[B]

It was the mini putt one.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And then that got repost or something. It ended up not ours or something. It was rented from somewhere. It ended up at a bar in town and they posted it. And they were confused on why no one could get the high score because me and Jacob Armstrong had them all.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. That's facts that used to go on here. And then we discovered blitzball. Yeah. Had a bat. We had a backstop back here.

[B]

Yeah. We had recession.

[C]

Yeah, we had a backstop. We were. We were all into activities, man.

[B]

It was like, you know how Google has all those things for their employees?

[C]

We just did it ourselves.

[B]

We were the redneck version of Google.

[C]

Yeah. Headquarters. Oh, there's a parking lot. We still ain't got them lights, though. We did a lot of stuff to get lights in the parking lot. We still ain't.

[D]

I still ain't.

[C]

You come up here.

[B]

Curly's top dog across the street. That place blew up.

[G]

Look at the.

[C]

I. Look at the video. Bingo. Whatever that stuff is being built. That's hilarious. There's the liquor store.

[B]

That's awesome. Anyway, who.

[C]

What was that guy's name and where was Jay from? Kentucky. Right.

[F]

I exited out of it. Give me a sec.

[C]

Yeah. No, it's Jay.

[B]

Jay from Kentucky. Google Earth is one of the most fascinating. I check Google Earth almost on a daily basis just to see what's changing around me.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

All the trees that fell in the water and the ice storm. Some of my neighbors cleaned up theirs and I was like, weren't there trees there? Went and checked Google Earth. Sure enough, there was. You can learn anything from Google Earth.

[F]

Wait, so why. Why did your recess, as you called it, end was just because y' all stopped Filming.

[C]

No, at that time, there were a lot of people employed here and nobody had to work overly hard. So we had time on our hands, so to speak.

[B]

If the words of Daryl hall and John Oates, we might have even had too much.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Much time on our hands.

[C]

And then people know that people started shrinking and you had to go back and earn your keep.

[B]

I don't know that that's true.

[C]

Yeah, we got a lot done. We did. No, I'm not. Our jobs were done. Just none of us had an overly full plate.

[B]

Our jobs were quite easy too, because, you know, it was easy to make money back then.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

When you had Silen TV saying crazy stuff.

[C]

Yeah. Now we just had him on YouTube.

[B]

I'm looking for.

[C]

I gotta look somewhere. There's a picture on my phone of Benny Doo Doo on the roof playing a disc golf shot. Because his disc ended up there and ours was. Play it as it lies, boys.

[B]

So look, there was even.

[C]

But we did have an above ground swimming pool.

[B]

Here's the ad for the above ground swimming pool Benny and Jacob made and let people invest in it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I was an. I owned part of that.

[C]

What it change your mind if we told you the frame for the above ground swimming pool was pallets now that

[B]

it didn't start like that.

[C]

No, but it rusted through and it was salvaged with pallets.

[F]

I mean, I've. I've done similar things.

[B]

So now you hadn't done this, buddy.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

That sounds awesome.

[C]

Yeah. Benny Doo Doo. I miss him. He was. He was an odd jobs guy.

[B]

No, it's not.

[C]

That's what he says. But his Instagram handle is definitely odd jobs guy. So if y'. All.

[B]

Because he tried to claim he wasn't.

[C]

Yeah, he was the guy over there, like repainting his car, you know.

[B]

Have you ever pulled up to Duck or Buck Commander and saw some guy out in the yard doing something weird? That was Benny.

[C]

It was either him or Terry burning VCRs.

[B]

Terry did burn VCRs a lot.

[C]

Yeah. So that was the. We had.

[B]

That was the name of our band.

[C]

We had a. We had a hand fed squirrel. By the way, you. There was a squirrel that lived at where Sadie's at now. Hunter. His name was Digger. And you could hand feed him corn, almonds, peanuts. He'd just come right up to you. You could call him and he would come down from the tree. Yeah, we used to have a. I don't have a. We used to have a time up here, man. Y', all. Y'. All don't do that anymore.

[F]

I mean, I don't know who y' all is because I work for a separate company.

[B]

Here's a picture of me making a video. I don't have the video advertising our Fourth of July event. That's me in a swimming pool with a shotgun wearing waiters with Willie drawn in Sharpie on my arm. And I shot that shotgun, too, at some birds that flew by.

[C]

Yeah, the. What else? We had T shirts. Yeah, I probably still have that T shirt somewhere.

[B]

Yeah. T shirt for our recess club.

[C]

What did we call it? Oh, Buck National Disc Golf. And. And it was Buck National Disc Golf and something above ground pool. Above ground pool club or something.

[B]

Yeah, Exclusive above ground pool and disc golf club.

[C]

There it is. There's the buck.

[D]

I don't even remember that. Poop.

[C]

Yeah, we had T shirts.

[B]

You never came over.

[C]

You weren't ever here. What are you talking about?

[B]

But you.

[D]

That's why I didn't know you were

[C]

running around like a three pegger billy goat, man. You wasn't up here like you was.

[D]

I missed the pool. Totally.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Would you have swam in the pool with us?

[D]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. If I knew about it.

[C]

Oh, man, we could have made some really good stuff there. All right, so true story this weekend. You know, Jared, he works for me. He films for me. Well, he decided to mountain bike. Mountain.

[B]

I saw it. He bit the dust body.

[C]

He bit the. Does you know the one thing he asked me when I talked to him yesterday? Who's that company y' all talk about on life insurance for the Duck call Room? And I said, man, that's Ethos. I said, well, what changed? He said, well, when you separate your shoulder and break your wrist at a mountain bike wreck, you realize you're getting older, man.

[B]

I actually think I have a picture of the pool on my Instagram. Like, I got to go back far enough, but one day I walked out there and was like, man, Benny really has. Yeah, here it is. It was filtered and everything.

[C]

Oh, wow. Instagram filters. It was just above ground from Academy sports and outdoors. Oh, you're talking about the filter on the pool. Yeah. Yep.

[B]

Look at that thing. Sigh.

[D]

Yeah, I never saw it.

[B]

It was held together by ratchet.

[C]

Hey, the cool news. If you had enough people throw in $5 for the lunch meat club. There was money left over. And on Fridays, we would cook chicken thighs and jambala.

[B]

Oh, man. Chicken thigh.

[C]

You remember that? You remember chicken thigh Friday?

[B]

Oh, man. With the rice cooker.

[C]

Look, we went to the day old bread store. So that's where we save money on bread. Like, it just gone out. So you got like two for one at the Day Old Bread. And lunch meat at that time was incredibly inexpensive.

[B]

Yeah, it was. So is mayonnaise. Look, I. I posted this in 2017 because Benny stayed all weekend and fixed the pool after it broke. Yeah, with pallets. And I put us millennials in our fancy workplaces.

[C]

Google has nothing on us. Man, what a hashtag.

[B]

That's a pretty good hashtag.

[G]

There you go.

[C]

Why you hire Eagles?

[B]

He was. Benny was the Eagles.

[C]

And Benny, we got Benny come back down. We need to have you on.

[B]

Benny never visits.

[C]

He doesn't visit. He knows visits. Yeah, he knows better.

[B]

I think it would. I think he'd be sad.

[C]

Well, Benny, all right, we're going down this road. Benny, when he first got hired here,

[B]

lived in the rv.

[C]

Lived in the RV in front of Duck Commander. So if you came by during season one of Duck Dynasty, just stopping by, you loved it. And you said. Because there were a bunch of people that did. And you said, man, look at that rv. I'm going to take a picture out beside it. Benny was living in there. You were taking a picture with somebody's house. He showered in here. He had TV inside the office, but he lived in the parking lot of Duck Commander for.

[B]

And he had a rip quite a while. He had a ripstick.

[C]

Yeah, he would just rip.

[B]

Stick around.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

God, man.

[C]

And a yellow Jeep. So if you saw a yellow Jeep parked by the rv, that was Benny Doo Doo. That was. That's the name. Willie hung him With.

[B]

Also known as Jimson.

[C]

Jimson. Yeah. But I think Benny Doo Doo Netanyahu is the one that stuck the longest. That's. That's a straight Willie creation, I guess.

[D]

Phil.

[C]

Nick died Jimson. Phil hung him with Jimson because, well, to be fair, they called everybody Jimson. Whenever he didn't. When he didn't know your name. Old Jimson there. But for some reason, with Benny, it stuck. For some reason. Benny was the only Jimson that stayed Jimson and didn't get something.

[B]

Then his parents showed up into town and we're asking where Benjamin was.

[D]

Oh, yeah. Nobody knew it was. They don't work here.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Hey, he's been working. He's been working here for two years. Two years.

[B]

No, we don't know Benjamin.

[C]

And also, to be fair, if you saw Benny's parents, the long bridge to Gap, to think that they were his parents, like, because Benny. What's the word I'm looking for here?

[B]

Carolinas.

[C]

Yeah. Unkempt, maybe, as a.

[B]

They're very Kempton.

[C]

Yeah, he is very Kempton. Benny.

[B]

They were, like, in suits and stuff. Then he's not. Yeah, but then he was. They were, like, finally found him. They're like, why are they calling you Jimson? And he didn't know how to tell him.

[C]

Some kind of freshman hazing rich.

[B]

It's like a hazing ritual.

[C]

Yeah. I was in the office that day when they walked past the hall as

[B]

he was explaining to them, oh, man, I miss recess. We should bring recess back as a normal thing.

[C]

Well, the problem is you make fun of all. The problem is you make fun of all these other boys for recess.

[B]

No, they don't have jobs is what I make fun of.

[C]

They're unemployed. There you go.

[B]

You had to have a job to have recess or go to school. One.

[C]

Okay. There you go. Yeah.

[H]

Yeah.

[D]

Look at. Looking back over all this. This is unreal.

[C]

Wild, ain't it?

[D]

Yeah. This is unreal. It really is.

[C]

And we did some stuff around here.

[D]

Oh, man.

[C]

What? I mean, we used to have that one time. What? There was one time that the World cup was going on and we had a former employee who's about to be married. Congratulations. Shelby and Shane, by the way. Probably by the time this airs, y' all will be married. Y' all will be betrothed.

[B]

Betrothed.

[C]

And she thought she was a really good goalie, so.

[B]

Oh, no, That's a bad deal.

[C]

Yeah. So Johnny D. That wasn't nice. Said that she couldn't stop him, and she thought she could from a Penalty.

[B]

There's no way.

[C]

Yeah, but I hit the post, and the post ricocheted into her face. Face melter. That was on company time.

[B]

One year, we had a whole Olympics.

[C]

Yeah, we had the Duck Commander Olympics.

[B]

We won.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Man, it was crazy, the stuff we did.

[B]

Recess, man. I went to recess in high school. I mean, in high school, one of the things I got made fun of, me and my friends, we would eat lunch fast, and then we would go play ultimate Frisbee in the little field. And people would be like, y' all are nerds. And we'd be like, we're having fun. Try and be cool. And we went to recess every day.

[C]

I mean, Gimber shot a shotgun inside the office.

[B]

No, he didn't.

[F]

Is that you?

[H]

Thank you.

[B]

Oh, put some respect on the guy that shot the shot.

[C]

Gimber hauled out the shotgun shell that handed it.

[B]

He just dared me. He was all noise. He said, shoot it, and I said, boom.

[C]

Full powder load.

[B]

When I think he actually did shoot it.

[C]

Yeah, he did. He shot it.

[B]

We wanted to test our security. Turns out if you. If there's shotguns blasting off in here, nobody cares.

[C]

Yeah, it's kind of normal.

[B]

There was a hole in the ceiling. Yeah, the one in the ceiling.

[C]

There's all kinds of. We had all kinds of them. And we had all kinds of grave things happen around here.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

And wild times, man. What a life. What a time.

[B]

I just like how we got Corey out of here to tell all these stories. There's. Do you think she even knows we had an above ground pool? Yeah, I mean, we weren't.

[D]

I mean, she's.

[C]

I know she saw it. Did she think that we actually used it? Probably not. She probably thought it was decoration or something, but. Yeah.

[D]

I don't.

[C]

I mean, she had to. We would just walked over there and

[B]

seen there was a couple people got baptized in.

[C]

Was used for good company.

[B]

Baptistry, man.

[C]

Yeah, call it. That sounds better than above ground pool. We had a baptistry behind Buck Commander's office.

[B]

Filtered and everything.

[C]

And occasionally somebody might be floating on a raft in it with a Budweiser. You never know. Oh, you could. Only on the weekends, though. Yeah, allegedly.

[B]

No lunch beers.

[C]

Yeah. No, no lunch beers. Only shower beers.

[B]

Praise God for those.

[C]

Let's go home.

[B]

Should we?

[C]

Are we good? They're good. Yeah. Get us out of here.

[B]

I need a Bible verse about recess.

[C]

Go play. Idle hands are the devil. We didn't want to be idle, man.

[D]

Nope.

[B]

That's a weird one.

[C]

What about the guy laying in front of the pool.

[B]

How about Proverbs 17:22? The guy laying in front of the pool.

[C]

That's so when Jesus asked him, don't you want to go?

[B]

I bet he would have gone to recess.

[C]

That's a good point, because recess rules. Yeah.

[B]

You know what my kid's favorite subject is? Recess.

[C]

Amen.

[B]

And Proverbs 17:22 tells us why a cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

[C]

No dry bones here. Back in the day,

[H]

It.
