Jase Robertson
Martin, I am excited about this.
Phil Robertson
We decided we wanted to do something special for the fans this week. So before we tell you everything, we do want to welcome you back to the Duck Call Room.
Jase Robertson
You're here.
Phil Robertson
You're here, but we're not going to be here. We're leaving. We're out of here. And we are going to share one of the podcasts from our friends, co workers, family. I don't. I'm not sure.
Jase Robertson
Neighbors.
Phil Robertson
Neighbors. Yeah. I'm not sure how many adjectives we need to use to describe them, but the Unashamed folks are going to jump in. So if you are a Duck Call Room listener and you've heard us talk about unashamed and you've never had a chance to check it out, we are going to play one for you right here.
Jase Robertson
And they're going to tell us how they ended up getting sighed on that treasure hunting show.
Phil Robertson
Stay tuned right now from our friends over at Unashamed. Jace, Al, Missy, Lisa.
Jase Robertson
Unashamed Nation.
Phil Robertson
Unashamed Nation. And we will see y'all when this is over.
Jase Robertson
Sorry if they're not as funny as us.
Al Robertson
I am unashamed. What about you?
Missy Robertson
So it's our second half of Ladies Day on the Unashamed podcast, since Phil is off doing a eulogy today for ZZ Top's funeral, which is kind of weird, but at the same time, he was very humbled by it, which I think is really cool. I mean, he only met him that one time and.
Al Robertson
Well, it was a couple times, I think.
Missy Robertson
Maybe so. Maybe so.
Al Robertson
Just throughout the show because we were at some event together. I remember that. Yeah.
Missy Robertson
But obviously, dad must have had a big impact on him, you know, And I'm sure, you know, dad talks about spiritual stuff to everybody. So, anyway, so.
Al Robertson
Oh, the. I was in on the conversations with him. It was. It was. It was funny.
Missy Robertson
Yeah.
Al Robertson
I mean, it's funny that we're in two totally different worlds. The beards brought us together, and I think the spiritual Conversation. They were. They. They. They enjoyed it.
Missy Robertson
They liked it. Yeah.
Jessica Robertson
When I first heard it, I thought. When I first heard that they asked him to speak, I thought, I know what he's going to speak about.
Missy Robertson
Yep.
Jessica Robertson
I thought, what a cool way to introduce Jesus to a whole new audience. I know he's going to do that.
Missy Robertson
Oh, yeah. Because. And so did he or his wife or whoever had the idea to have him. I mean, they know dad, so they know that. So we got Missy and Lisa, our fair brides, back on today because we have. We got. I don't know if I told you guys, but we had a huge response the last time you guys were on.
Al Robertson
The highest rated show of all time. I wasn't sure if it was y'all or they just like to watch me squirm.
Missy Robertson
I think that was part. And that's why I've been wanting to do it again. So I was so excited when Missy sent me a note and said that she's. I mean, I've already said I've always liked to see Jay squirm.
Jessica Robertson
Hey, here we go again. Really?
Missy Robertson
So I was like, just the chance to see it again is worth having Missy and Jason.
Willie Robertson
Jace doesn't like it, though, when anybody else is the center of attention, and it's not him.
Al Robertson
Here we go. Let's just start throwing haymakers.
Willie Robertson
So if his beautiful wife is on here, he's not the center of attention.
Missy Robertson
It must be this chair, Jace, because versus dad. Then it was mom and the last five guys. Now Lisa is the throw Jason to the bus seat.
Al Robertson
Completely disagree with that statement. Whatsoever. I, you know, I just want to be left alone.
Jessica Robertson
That's true. That's a true statement.
Missy Robertson
Well, what I love about is because Jay's obviously tells a lot of stories on the podcast, and so he'll tell us stories about different interactions y'all have or some argument or all this. Of course, we're only getting his side of it.
Jessica Robertson
Yes, I know. I know that.
Al Robertson
I can't remember every little detail.
Jessica Robertson
So you just lean the stories towards your favor every time.
Al Robertson
Look who my mom and dad are.
Jessica Robertson
That's very true.
Al Robertson
They're like. They explained to me one time when I brought up the fact that I didn't think this story had happened that way. And my mom and dad both said these things are based on true stories. They put that in my brain. They said, you ever seen a movie that's based on.
Jessica Robertson
Yeah, they fill it in for dramatic purposes. That's what you do.
Missy Robertson
I would say that's right. Every Robertson story is best.
Willie Robertson
That's right. You also got to think about you were trained as a preacher.
Al Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
So you and Al, you know, preachers always tend to embellish just a little.
Missy Robertson
Well, we have a license for it.
Al Robertson
And it was actually quite a miserable experience for me. I'm glad I did it because there were some benefits. I learned the Bible. I got confidence. But I was just with a bunch of nerds for two years.
Missy Robertson
Jace doesn't look back as finally on our school years.
Jessica Robertson
Those were not easy years. Those were not easy classes, and that was hard.
Al Robertson
We became known as the preaching student who had the most visits to the.
Jessica Robertson
Dean for various infractions, mainly for sleeping.
Al Robertson
I just never could figure out that. Well, that was one of the great qualities I learned there, is how to sleep with your eyes open. And I'm proud of that. But most of the stuff I got called in for was a violation of the rules. And I was like, I thought we were here to learn about grace. You've come up with a rule system. Remember, they had a dress code. And I'm like, I'm opposed to that.
Missy Robertson
For biblical dress code, no tobacco products.
Jessica Robertson
But how many years were those rules in effect? You think you were going to roll up in there at, like, 19, 20 years old and change all those rules?
Missy Robertson
Yes, that's exactly what I thought.
Al Robertson
That's exactly what I thought. And I was passionate about it. But guess what? It was a band of one.
Jessica Robertson
Yes.
Al Robertson
My own brother would not follow me. He's like, hey, I don't know what happened. I heard this story about mom dropping him as a kid. I went with it.
Missy Robertson
I had to create some distance because he was pulling me down. I want to be. I wasn't part of the resistance. I was with him in spirit, but in actuality, no.
Jessica Robertson
Well, you know, when we were dating, and then, you know the story of them coming down here and recruiting y'all and all that. And I was like, no, no. Because I grew up with a dad as a preacher. And I said, oh, yeah, I'm not marrying a preacher. Like, that's not happening. It's years of no money. And, you know, I mean, you take.
Missy Robertson
A vow of poverty that you didn't know you took.
Jessica Robertson
Yeah. It was not fun for me as thinking as, like, I don't want the rest of my life to be the same thing.
Al Robertson
You're such a go gold digger.
Jessica Robertson
I am. I know. I have been labeled that, for sure.
Willie Robertson
Well, if she was, she wouldn't have married you.
Jessica Robertson
That's exactly right.
Al Robertson
There wasn't a lot of gold to.
Missy Robertson
Be digging around here.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jessica Robertson
So that's true. When you think about that, like, what was my alternative?
Willie Robertson
Missy has been a treasure hunter long before you were.
Al Robertson
You know, I. We have laid awake staring at the ceiling many a night. I'm like, how did you know? How did you know that this guy duck calls, go around. Yep. TV show, lots of money.
Jessica Robertson
It was all God, oh, God.
Missy Robertson
We've established on the podcast, Missy, that starting with me, then to Jason, then to Willie, we were all rejected by the asking for the daughter's hand in marriage. We were all told no. In fact, I didn't even ask because I knew what the answer was.
Jessica Robertson
You just went and snuck up and did it.
Missy Robertson
I just said, we're doing it next week. Deal with it. You know, So I was, you know, not as nice as they were, but. Yeah, so. But they knew somehow. They knew somehow, you know, it was, it was the ruggedness, I guess.
Jessica Robertson
Well, and now who is besides me? Who is your biggest fan in life? Would you say your dad? My dad?
Al Robertson
Oh, I missed that set up.
Jessica Robertson
He is Jason.
Al Robertson
I have a lot of fans.
Missy Robertson
Most of our, A lot of our fans just talk about Jason Rose dad too much. Although I find that funny. Jason, you get thrown under the bus because no one interrupts more and more viciously than dad.
Jessica Robertson
Yeah.
Missy Robertson
Literally the other day we were on here and I'm telling a story and he just, he just. It's like I wasn't even talking. Yeah, he just takes off. And then we all got so. Me and Jason, Gary, Glenn got so tickled because he didn't even realize he did it. Had no idea.
Al Robertson
Al told a five minute story why he's called Alan Jones, which I know he's called Alan Jones, but I never knew why.
Missy Robertson
So Jason was really intrigued by.
Al Robertson
I was on the edge of my seat and Al said the reason that I was called, the reason that happened because he had this altercation with a police officer. The reason I've been known for Alan Jones all these years. And he was fixed to say it. Phil said, by the way, if you look at Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and it was a great sermon seven minutes later that Phil Free had nothing to do with Alan Jones. It was like the gospel is the point of the Bible.
Missy Robertson
And we were laughing so hard for the first four minutes of the story, but we were trying to hide it because, you know, with dad, if he notices you're laughing at him and he doesn't know why, then he'll just say, what is it? What's so funny? You know, then he's getting.
Al Robertson
Well, he was. He was actually given the point of.
Jessica Robertson
The Bible, but he was so into his own study. He wasn't listening to you.
Missy Robertson
No, he wasn't.
Jessica Robertson
He doesn't know your story. He still doesn't know your story of Alan Jones.
Missy Robertson
No. The whole time.
Jessica Robertson
Cause he didn't hear it.
Missy Robertson
Exactly. Right. Cause the whole time I was talking, I caught him out of the corner of my eye. I'm talking, but he's looking. Searching. His thing. He. He's hearing. That's what he was here.
Al Robertson
But see, I'm not like that. When I. A lot of times when we were in school, they would call me in. They would say, you don't look like you're paying attention in class. I said, but I am.
Jessica Robertson
But you weren't. You were asleep. You've already said that with your eyes open.
Al Robertson
When I was asleep, I was not paying attention to your eyes, but several times I would stick my head down on my desk.
Jessica Robertson
Yes.
Al Robertson
And I was listening. I was just listening comfortably.
Willie Robertson
Jace, there comes a time when you just have to say you're lying about that.
Al Robertson
No, I would listen. I passed. How can you pass?
Missy Robertson
Thanks to me.
Willie Robertson
Because your older brother and Missy, I give her credit.
Missy Robertson
You typed up all of his papers and stuff?
Jessica Robertson
Yes.
Al Robertson
You typed every single letter?
Jessica Robertson
Everything.
Al Robertson
I couldn't type.
Missy Robertson
And look, you don't realize people have no idea. And not to just. You know, back in my day, but like preaching, school was really hard. I mean, we went. We had two years of study. But you went to school every day?
Jessica Robertson
10 months, and it was 8 hours a day.
Missy Robertson
So they. They figured it up. If you compare that to college hours, we would have gotten over 200 hours of university level. That's how much time we're in classroom. And you're writing papers for every one of those classes. So, I mean, I was either in class or studying or write papers the whole time for two years.
Al Robertson
Well, they wouldn't allow you to have a job right, while you were there.
Missy Robertson
And yet I snuck out and worked. I broke the rules.
Al Robertson
I cut firewood.
Missy Robertson
I worked in. You know what I did? Jazz? I worked in Bill Phillips's dad's convenience store at night down on Washington street in Balconville. That's what I was doing to pick up a few extra bucks. Plus we. We started preaching, you know, so we could make a little money. Y'all preach, did y'all?
Jessica Robertson
He preached for what? Sometimes about what, 100 bucks a week? We get that from the little country.
Al Robertson
Churches, we go through that in about 20 minutes.
Jessica Robertson
Well, the gas to get to these little country churches.
Missy Robertson
We drove all the way to Ola, which is an hour.
Al Robertson
I did it long enough to know that Missy's dream came true. I wasn't gonna be a preacher.
Jessica Robertson
This is not our dream job.
Al Robertson
Established.
Missy Robertson
Y'all were dating so you would go with him, right?
Jessica Robertson
Yeah, but we got married the week after y'all graduated. And so then it was just like, now what? Right now we got to do this for an actual living.
Missy Robertson
And then they wanted. They interned us, you know, which meant we got about what I guess we were getting for support. Maybe a little bump, but it wasn't much.
Jessica Robertson
$800 a month. $800.
Al Robertson
What was fascinating is they came and recruited me after all this trouble I had caused, and I was shocked. And I remember Carl kept saying, but you got potential. He kept saying that. I'm like, just believe in not my potential. Because that's right now. You don't like me right now, but you have potential. But it didn't work out. But I think everybody has to figure out God's purpose for them directly. And I did, which was build up calls and do other things and then use it as a platform to share Jesus. Because I really was happy that I learned the ins and outs of the Bible and it brought me some discipline in my life. So, I mean, I'm thankful for it, but I'm like, no, thank you. Working for an established group because I'm too much of a troublemaker. I can't get along with that organization well.
Missy Robertson
And, I mean, I talked about before, working for the church is really difficult because, I mean, it is just a. You know, there's. There's a political edge to it. There's so much going on. And the bigger the church, the more in the fishbowl you are.
Al Robertson
Yeah, I didn't like any. I worked as an intern long enough to say, this is not for me.
Missy Robertson
So I think we're all grateful now that we can volunteer and you're not tied to a paycheck. Is. Ministry is a lot more interesting and enjoyable, I should say. You know, which we got the blessing to be able to do that. It's funny, you think about your right, miss. You live on 800amonth, and you're like, man, now you look at it, that's like a light bill or. You know what I'm saying? I mean, we were living off the whole. That was the whole enchilada.
Al Robertson
That was several times, you know, in our marriage I was literally walking. We had one vehicle.
Missy Robertson
We did too, for a period.
Al Robertson
Yeah. And it just, you know, when you're walking down the side of the road, you're like, I need to do something with myself.
Jessica Robertson
I was hoping he would get to that point.
Missy Robertson
Yeah, get there, get there.
Al Robertson
Save my money and bought a truck for a grand. And it pretty well was worth a grand.
Jessica Robertson
Yeah.
Missy Robertson
Well, it was funny because you, you weren't too crazy either about being a preacher's wife, of course. And. And I wound up, you know, going into it full board. So why did you not think it was a good idea?
Willie Robertson
I think I did not. What I considered to be a preacher's wife was a. A meek, mild, mild, soft spoken, soft.
Jessica Robertson
Spoken.
Willie Robertson
Quiet, submissive woman. And I was none of those things. And I think also at that point in my life, whenever you decided to do that, I didn't know that. I don't really think that I believed that God could take away my sin, that he could see me as a new creature or that anybody else could see me as a new person in Christ. So I had, I think I allowed Satan to, you know, tell me that it wasn't possible, that I wasn't preacher wife material. You know, you've done too much. You know, you can't be forgiven of all.
Missy Robertson
You didn't feel like you belonged in the club, right? No. And you looked at women we were around at that time was, you know, Margaret Smith and Barbara Allison and I mean, ladies, great women. How could I ever compare with these people?
Willie Robertson
And Missy's mom, you know, Peggy, you know, she was so. Yeah, I never just. I didn't feel worthy of the calling.
Missy Robertson
Yeah.
Jessica Robertson
I think it's interesting as we kind of share that time in our life, all four of us, that, you know, how God can take us at such a young, immature age with our immature thoughts of why we don't want to be a part of something, do it anyway, and then bless us along the way. To where? Now that's all I want to do is talk about Jesus to people and try to convince them to see who he is and try to fall in love with him and let him lead you. And so before it was just like, I don't want to do. I mean, I love God, but I don't want to do that. I don't want to put myself out there, especially for no money.
Missy Robertson
It's all perspective. So let's take our first break.
Phil Robertson

Missy Robertson
So since we're there I want to ask you both about this because I observed something in both of yalls life and where we are now. So you guys were in Austin for a while. We've got a place down in Gulf Shores and you both got super involved in your community. Meaning I mean literally your neighborhood community in spiritual ways to help people. So describe that a little bit. Both of you, kind of how that came to be and how different that was from us being here our whole lives and obviously connected to the church. I mean, we've done ministry whether we were paid to do it or not, but it's a different feeling. And when you go into this new area where you don't know people and yet you get to know them and the opportunity. So talk a little bit about that.
Jessica Robertson
Well, for me, you know, we went to for a reason, to help Mia with school and being close to her family, her cousins. And so I found myself with a lot of time on my hands, and I'm not used to that. And after, you know, binging Netflix and all that, when she'd go to school, I thought, this is not what I want to do. I know I'm here for her and try to help her, but I got to do something too. And I think we can all say for most of our lives that we've been very active in ministry of some sort. And it. It always. Almost always involves people in our home. So, of course, Jessica was right around the corner from me, which was great. And then I met. I have a friend that lives about 10 minutes away that invited me to one of her child's birthday parties. So then I got to meet a couple other women there, and we started talking, and my friend Jenna said, you know, have you thought about maybe starting a ladies Bible study? And I thought, yeah, to quote Phil.
Missy Robertson
And we had a feel impersonation. That's pretty good. It's good.
Al Robertson
You know, give that a nine point.
Missy Robertson
That was really good.
Al Robertson
Yeah.
Jessica Robertson
But my thought was I don't want to go in and just, like, start pushing myself on people. I don't want to. You know, it's just not really my personality. I want. I want Jesus to lead the way. And I had already been praying about what to do, what to do. And so she said, you know, you can bring Jessica and I can bring my friend Jackie. It's like, this is a great idea. Yes. So I called Jace that night and super excited about it, like, what should I do? He said I would start with John. You don't know where these women are coming from spiritually.
Missy Robertson
The book of John.
Jessica Robertson
The book of John. Start with the book of John. And I have always been involved in Bible studies that either I created or would go to where it was prepared. So whether you watch a video or you read a book, or you just sit and listen to someone ask you questions that you have the answers to or, you know, et cetera, and I thought you know, I think we should just read. Let's just read a couple of chapters a week and discuss. Which was kind of nerve wracking for me because when I. When they came to the house, I had nothing written on piece of paper. And that's not like me. So I was like, let's just. Let's just read it. What did you get out of that? And that turned. That Bible study turned into an amazing experience, not just for those women, but for me.
Missy Robertson
Yeah.
Jessica Robertson
And when we finished that Book of John, it was around the holidays and we said, let's just keep going. Let's just go into acts. And so I will say that every week, every Tuesday night at 6:30, those women were at my house. I was the only one without little kids. So mine was like, just kind of a more peaceful place. And every Tuesday night, we ended up growing closer to each other and growing closer to Jesus and understanding what he's about. And I honestly fell more in love with Jesus during this last year of this quietness that I had this. What do I do? I have time on my hands. I think God used that peacefulness, that quietness, even that loneliness sometimes to grow me and then to also impact others. And so right before we left Austin, we had a community event that these women and I discussed and said, let's just share what we've learned with the community of Austin. So we rented out one of the theaters there close by in our neighborhood and invited. Invited South Austin. And we had a number of women show up and tears and prayers. And it was. It was amazing, right?
Missy Robertson
Yeah. Because Jace told us about it, talked a little bit about on the podcast.
Al Robertson
Yeah.
Missy Robertson
Wow.
Al Robertson
Yeah. And, you know, I was there a whole lot because my response, I had responsibilities here, but because a lot of people, you would think, you know, I told this story before, but I remember telling a guy, I think it was on the golf course, you know, that I had a house in Austin, you know, but I was here and my wife's there. And he's like, well, I'm so sorry. You know, hell no. And I kept trying to explain. Yeah, I get it. You know, I thought, oh, well. Because they just. You would think that would never work. Of course, we were doing it for our daughter too. And we had Jeff and Jessica there, but, you know, we're busy.
Missy Robertson
Somebody's done a Facebook message to Lisa because we're similar and said, did you and Al split up?
Jessica Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Missy Robertson
We're like, no, no, no, we're good.
Al Robertson
But I did the same thing. I mean, I was supporting Missy, you know, in her venture. And, like, when I would come down a few times, she would have their husbands come, and so we would do an event together. But, you know, we've just learned, I think, since we're not preachers, like, in an organization, I mean, I base my ministry on the Book of John, how Jesus interacted with people. He would always go out where they were and have these conversations that seem small, but then it develops into a bigger conversation and then sparks or. You know, I think about that woman at the well. She wound up being the spokesman for the whole town. And it all started from just one conversation. And I think he did that in Austin through those women. And we try to do that just in our normal lives. I always think about that obscure passage that Jesus said over and over and over that said, he who has ears, let him hear. Which nobody ever talks about what that means, but it's like he was just talking about whoever it is, wherever you are. And my opening line in all my speeches is, I know I look like a preacher, but I'm actually a believer. You know, they laugh because I don't look like a preacher. But I do think God has chosen us in this way to be real and not just on Sunday. These are house gatherings and just talking about Jesus. So that's basically what we do together.
Jessica Robertson
Well, also, it's not just about Jesus, because you want to come to Jesus and you want people to come to Jesus. But why does Jesus want us? He loves us. He created us, and he wants us to be together as a community and as a family of believers. And so that's also what happened during that. Those months in my living room and on my back porch is we became a Jesus community. And these women. These women are going to be friends for the rest of my life. I mean, they're amazing. We still talk almost. I mean, every week, for sure. We have a group text message. We're checking on each other, and I forget that. I forget all of that. You know, during Duck Dynasty, things have changed because of Duck Dynasty, and people's perception of us have changed because of that. But these women, they didn't. They didn't care about all that. And I love that because they love me for who I am. Flaws and all. We talked about mistakes and flaws and failures, and they're there, and I'm like, that's exactly what Jesus created us to do and to be together. And I found that in Austin. Now that we're not gonna be back, I'm really missing them like that. Was the best part of the whole move was finding them in Tennessee. Yeah.
Missy Robertson
So babe, I think that's kind of. I mean our experience was similar because like you said, when you're, when you work for the church and especially if you're the main person, the main guy, then people bring people to you. I mean that's what problems, you know, marital problems. And then you know, we've been open about our struggles. But in this case we went in and nobody knew who we were either. I mean, I mean they found out who we were connected to. But so we were meeting them. We were just walking around our neighborhood and our neighborhoods. About half of it is sort of semi retirees and you know, people and so everybody's out working in their yard and everybody stops and talks to one another. So that's how you meet people. And we just started walking around and meeting people and it was amazing just because again, conversation season with great grace and salt how much they picked up on. There's something different about these. I mean like they knew immediately there was something different about us. And then it didn't take long before those began to bear fruit in terms of a lot of deeper conversations, people sharing their hearts and stuff like that. I mean what's what, what has been your. Dan, let's take a break.
Jase Robertson
Do you think that one day I'll face thinning hair?
Phil Robertson
Oh, no doubt.
Jase Robertson
We all do.
Phil Robertson
Time and pressure.
Jase Robertson
Is it genetics?
Phil Robertson
Our friends over at Nutrifol have figured out there are six root causes of thinning hair hormones. We all got them. Stress.
Al Robertson
Yep.

Willie Robertson
You know, they found out who we were. So then, you know, that kind of went around the neighborhood.
Al Robertson
But.
Willie Robertson
But what I think most is once, once they found out that you were a preacher, then it was like, oh, well, can you start a church here? You know, we really haven't found a place that we wanted to settle in.
Missy Robertson
A lot of that bad church experiences too, you know?
Willie Robertson
Yeah. So can you just start a church here? And we're like, Al is like, no, I have a church in my church.
Missy Robertson
I'm already working. I'm working my. I'm working myself to death free for a church already.
Willie Robertson
So how we started out was we just started having different ones into our home to have dinner with us and to have conversation. And we would give them all a copy of our book. And when we had, when we lived in the condo, we had a little couple that was in the condo area with us. So when we decided to move, they decided to move with us. So they moved right next door to us.
Missy Robertson
And they were next door to us in the condo. And we, I mean, we were. We had talked to both of them, but we were just kind of beginning. It's not like we were, you know, instant best friends, but we liked each other. And they were like, we don't want to stay here if y'all want to be here. So they. They bought a house next to us in the neighborhood.
Willie Robertson
And Mike and Malia now are very special to us. Malia is. She has done everything in her life. I Say, when I grow up, I want to be like you, Malia. But she's just. She's a genuine person and she loves us and so does her family. But, you know, whenever. Whenever you meet somebody, you never know what their struggle is because everybody has one. And so when you get to talking to somebody, you learn what their struggle is. Sometimes you've been through that struggle, sometimes you haven't. But I think as Christians, God always gives us the answer. No matter if you've been through it or not, he always gives you the answer to tell someone as to, you know, maybe not how to fix it, but how to overcome it and. And how to rise above it. And so that's kind of what you and I have been doing as far as the having people in. And, you know, our first time that we had a couple in, we had two couples in, and, you know, halfway through our meal, one of them, you know, just started crying, you know, sharing stuff about, you know, things going on. So.
Missy Robertson
And she. What got me was she felt safe enough the first time we had her in our home to share with us some of the really tough stuff she's been dealing with this last year. And I thought, man, what a. What a humbling thing that someone's willing to share something that deep, you know, even though we'd known them and talked to him around the neighborhood, we had never really had a deep conversation. And the minute we went there, she felt safe enough, you know, and she said, we. We. Her husband's there. We haven't told anybody this, not even our families. Here's some of the things we've been struggling with. So I just. I felt like that was a humbling opportunity. And I thought, you know, God has us here for that purpose. Like you said, I mean, it's a time of difficulty because it's hard to be apart when we're apart, you know, but then at the same time, God can do so much, you know, with the time that you have together.
Jessica Robertson
I had one thing that Jason. I both spoke separately at a little church in Austin when we were there.
Al Robertson
Oh, that was.
Missy Robertson
That was one of.
Jessica Robertson
Yeah, I forgot about one of the things that I said. You know, sometimes you have your speech prepared or, you know, we kind of ad lib a lot when we speak. But one thing I said, and I heard myself say it and had to say it again was I said, sometimes I said, the reason that I'm here may not be the reason that I'm supposed to be here. And I was like, wait, let me. Let me think about that again, the reason that I'm here may not be the reason that I was supposed to be here, because the reason we came was different from. I feel like the reason that God used me and the way that God used me. So we might have our will and our desire and our plan, but then let's be open and make sure that God is leading us the whole way, because he will most likely have something way bigger in mind for us. And that's what happened with us in Austin.
Al Robertson
Well, it's like when Missy said that about not having any notes or anything written on the paper. You're in your house. It's not maybe a Monday night or a Wednesday night or. Why do the same thing in my speeches? Because I've always been kind of shy about speaking, which, you know, I was confident when I went to the school. They helped me with confidence. But I don't use notes because I view it the same way she does, is I'm just trying to introduce the Lord. And when y'all were talking, you know, y'all yalls speech is incredible when y'all do a marriage seminar or whatever, because you're vulnerable and open. And I think that's why people do show up at your house and start, you know, unveiling all these. These secrets. But it reminds me of that Colossians 3. At the end, he talked about. You know, at the first, he starts talking about, set your mind on things above where. Where the Lord is. And he gets to the end, he talks about all the relationships, how husbands and wives and children and parents and social classes. And then he's like, whatever you do, you work at it with all your heart as to the Lord, not for men. And really, that's what we're trying to do. I mean, when you think about our show, our little duck show that came out, people were. They thought they were drawn to us because we were having fun and doing all these crazy things, but it was really to the Lord in us.
Missy Robertson
That's right.
Al Robertson
On how we get along. And that's when they hear us speak. That's what we do. And we're doing the same thing maybe with our new show, which Missy's gonna be a part of today. Are you. Are you nervous about that?
Jessica Robertson
No.
Al Robertson
Okay.
Missy Robertson
Which is kind of interesting, Missy, because. And I didn't know that you and Jessica were gonna be, like, do anything with it.
Jessica Robertson
We didn't either.
Missy Robertson
I think this is evolving because I don't know about SI either, but. So. So. But it's. But it's. I Wanted to get your take on it. Because really you are the reason that JC even got into treasure hunt. Because if you hadn't. If you hadn't.
Jessica Robertson
Am I supposed to take this responsibility? I'm not ready for this.
Al Robertson
Babe, you made a which I told you about posting things on social media.
Jessica Robertson
Wait, wait, what are y'all attributing this to?
Al Robertson
This all got started over that one post. I was down in the yard and you didn't say, hey, babe, I'm fixed to take a picture of you in a vulnerable position.
Jessica Robertson
Oh, the one where you're digging in the front yard at the plantation? That one.
Al Robertson
Yeah.
Missy Robertson
Well, that was my point, was that you wanted to redo the plantation and y'all bought it into a bed and breakfast. But if you hadn't had that desire, you wouldn't have opened up the opportunity for him to ever get into treasure. Because that's really what started. Right? You thought, I'm going to be out here and I don't want to be doing bed and breakfast, so I need something to do.
Al Robertson
Well, I got out there and she was like, there's an old house out here in log town where no one lives anymore.
Jessica Robertson
That's true. No one's there. It's not a town anymore.
Al Robertson
No. It's literally surrounded by fields 200 years ago. And this, this old place is out there. Mrs. Like, because she likes to take old rough looking things and refine it.
Missy Robertson
Right.
Al Robertson
Which is why she married me.
Jessica Robertson
I knew that was. I could smell that one.
Missy Robertson
You still got some work to do there, miss. I guess this is a lifelong project.
Al Robertson
Just in denial about her gold digger tendencies.
Jessica Robertson
Oh, my gosh.
Missy Robertson
And now she's got you digging for gold.
Al Robertson
You're actually out here.
Jessica Robertson
Gold digger? Really?
Al Robertson
She's out there and I'm out there with a. With a hole dug and I'm looking when she was driving by on her way out and she took a picture of me and put on social media. He's always hunting something.
Jessica Robertson
Well, that's true.
Al Robertson
It was true. It was genius. And that one picture launched where now this has become real. There are cameras back in the yard here. Let's go find something. But every time camera crews show up, they can't help it because they look over there and they're like, oh, that's your wife. Like you didn't know it. I mean, but they just can't help it. They gotta dig into, how did this happen? It's a miracle. She's a gold digger or whatever. And then they want to interview and Say, well, how did Jace get started in this? They can't help it.
Missy Robertson
They just gotta say, you know, they're gonna keep going. Let's take another break. So Missy may have been the initiator, but then Unashamed nation is now the ones that. Cause we asked Jace, asked him. He was like, do we do this or not? Because if you say no, if you say this is a bad idea, we're not.
Jessica Robertson
Well, I mean, think about it. Do you want to follow somebody around and watch them beep, beep, beep? I mean, how. How interesting is that? So I was like, I mean, a show about that. I don't know about that, but they do. They just. I get it.
Al Robertson
But, babe, they followed around me for four days, literally.
Jessica Robertson
Look, here's the reason. They're not following around you because you're beeping machine. They're falling around you because you're in enigmatic on TV just like you are here. It's the same thing. Like for the podcast.
Missy Robertson
What did you just call me? Enigmatic. I know what it means. Let's let Jace go to Google.
Al Robertson
I mean, if you want to call me a name, wait till we get home. Depending on the definition.
Jessica Robertson
Look it up, babe.
Missy Robertson
I would agree.
Al Robertson
He's difficult to interpret or understand. Mysterious.
Jessica Robertson
There you go. They want to try to figure you out. They still do not have it figured out.
Al Robertson
Took the money with an enigmatic smile.
Jessica Robertson
There you go, babe.
Al Robertson
You're so mysterious.
Missy Robertson
They've been trying to figure out Jason's dynasty.
Jessica Robertson
They want to figure it out. So with Jeff, I think it's going to be great because I told. Actually the one of the producers, I said, this is gold, because, Jace, you never know what you're going to get. Jeff is laid back, but super funny. Jeff is super funny.
Al Robertson
I have to admit, those four days of filming, Jeff did a lot of really stuff that made me laugh. And I thought it was just because I hadn't seen him in a while.
Missy Robertson
Well, as a brother, you know, in. We're all close in different ways. We all have different relationships with each other. But I mean, that was my. Actually, one of my favorite aspects of the idea of the show was because Jason, Jeff have gotten close over doing this together, because they never were that close.
Al Robertson
Well, I got him involved.
Missy Robertson
I'm close to Jeff because I'm like a uncle, almost like a dad, because, you know, we've helped them and worked.
Al Robertson
With him and stuff like that. Well, I got Drew into this because of Murray, who has become one of my best friends, but he was Going through cancer. And he was a metal detector and I knew nothing about it. And he taught me everything I know. But I was trying to help a friend out because he was like, that's the only thing keeping me alive. He actually said that. Then he's like, can I come hunt your yard? What am I going to say? He just said it was the only thing keeping him alive.
Jessica Robertson
He's pretty smart.
Missy Robertson
No, I hope you die.
Al Robertson
I was like, boy, that's quite a line there, Murray. Yeah, come on over and find this old junk in my yard. Yard. But then he started finding cool stuff. And the more. Look, I went to the Bible and studied how many times it talks about God, comparing finding us as lost in the reason Jesus hung out with the riff Ralph. And there's so much about treasure and where your heart is, there your treasure will be also. And I thought, you know what I mean, this may sound coy, but I thought, if there's that much in there about the Bible and how it relates, I'm going to go give this a try.
Jessica Robertson
But you know, like, that's an analogy because, you know, God and Jesus are using those stories as an analogy to what the real treasure is. And so that's why when we started talking about how to do this, I was like, it's, it's got to be, you know, for better lack of a better word, deeper than just finding the treasure in the ground. Like, let's find out, like the treasure is there because somebody made it for a certain purpose, this hundreds years of years ago or whatever. And then let's see, what does the people, what were they doing during that time and how were they living? What were their relationships like and what was going on here? And, and then to maybe be able to flush that out a little bit and try to get those relationships to be honored and that time in history to be honored for the good.
Missy Robertson
Right.
Jessica Robertson
Without ignoring the bad. Because there's some bad history we all know. But how, What's a way that we can do that? And I love that. That's why I love the place that we bought because it was built in 1847 by hand. So you're digging in the yard and I'm looking at the hand sawn boards and everything that's going on inside the house because I think those are beautiful. And I want to see like what was going on here. I would love to know what was going on here. What was the family doing? And so I think that both of those aspects on a show are gonna be amazing.
Missy Robertson
Well, and I Was I was very encouraging to Jace about it. Cause one of the things the struggles was, and Zach and I talked a lot about it was, you know, people are trying to erase history now and we don't wanna talk about history. But I was, I was just the opposite. I said, well, we need a show. Like we need to make. Let's make history great again. You know, I mean, let's talk about it honestly and openly, but let's not try to destroy our past.
Al Robertson
That's how we learn. I'm gonna use the bad things in the past because we've already found some things that you're like, oh, what do you say about that? You know, I found a bullet, you know, from the Civil War. And I just said, because honestly, when I see that, my first thought is, I believe all people are valuable. I mean, it's a reminder to me to look at things through a spiritual lens. What's crazy about this is while we were talking, Jeff just sent me this picture because I guess they're filming out at our house. Are they? He said, hey, I just found this in your yard. So I'm not sure what that is.
Jessica Robertson
But like a finial or something from bed post.
Al Robertson
It was. Yeah, it was like some piece of. Oh, and I don't know how I could have missed that because I've hunted my yard a hundred times.
Missy Robertson
Well, he's saying a little change in the earth, you never know what happened. A little rain, little.
Jessica Robertson
That's pretty awesome though because, you know.
Al Robertson
Because I thought I was expert and jump look has become known.
Missy Robertson
Here's another element of the show. The old. The old green eyed monsters.
Al Robertson
I'll tell you this. I mean, jump has become the newbie of the show. And look, not by design, he just. Because wherever he goes, he finds junk and nothing of value. So I'm shocked that he's actually found something. That's cool.
Willie Robertson
One man. One man's junk's another man's.
Missy Robertson
That's exactly right. We gotta. We gotta see that in interview.
Jessica Robertson
That's right.
Missy Robertson
Let's. Let's take our last break. So in this last segment, there's a couple things I wanted to talk about. One is you guys are going to be. Jace has mentioned you guys are going to be grandparents, which is super exciting.
Al Robertson
So talk about that.
Jessica Robertson
Oh yeah, I'd love to talk about that.
Willie Robertson
They are the grandest things that you will ever have.
Al Robertson
I agree.
Willie Robertson
Are the grandest.
Al Robertson
I'm excited about that. It just. It's a little weird to deal with being old.
Willie Robertson
No, you just Embrace it.
Missy Robertson
Embrace it.
Jessica Robertson
This is. This is what I'm looking forward to in growing old, is having the grandkids, for sure.
Missy Robertson
So our oldest granddaughter is here. Carly's watching today, and she's 15. And so I tell you, the first one. This will be your oldest, will pretty much set the pace for everybody going forward, because they get that first. It depends on how many years there are in between them. They. They'll call you the first thing. And so have y'all thought about your name? Have you thought about what you want to be called? Because I think it's. You know, it may not happen.
Jessica Robertson
I had a few suggestions. Like I would. What?
Al Robertson
Call me Rock.
Jessica Robertson
Rock.
Al Robertson
I'll be a rock.
Willie Robertson
Papa Rock.
Missy Robertson
Rock, as in dumbass Alan.
Phil Robertson
Guys.
Willie Robertson
I thought I was the only one that said stuff like that.
Al Robertson
Well, I mean, where did that come from?
Missy Robertson
Hey, Rock.
Al Robertson
Now, look, this is not gonna work.
Jessica Robertson
If you ask my opinion, Carly's rolling over here.
Al Robertson
If you ask my opinion what I want to be called. I gave it. And then you just destroy. I'm saying, what do you want to be called? That was the first thing that.
Missy Robertson
No rock.
Al Robertson
There's already the rock. Has the rock. I'm just rock.
Willie Robertson
So what is your name?
Missy Robertson
Would you be Rolled?
Willie Robertson
What do you want? Yeah, what do you.
Al Robertson
Well, do you want to hear my.
Missy Robertson
Ex parents, my grandparents? Rock and roll.
Al Robertson
Will you let my. I think that's awesome. That's pretty good rock and roll. It used to be Alton Howard kid will need some. Some kind of sustainability in their life, and I'm offering to try to be a rock to this kid.
Jessica Robertson
I think that they'll be laughed at at school. I don't think that that is very tech.
Al Robertson
What are you talking about?
Jessica Robertson
They're only my granddad Rock. Do you have a granddad? You have a rock for a granddad?
Missy Robertson
He's so solid. He's. That's it.
Jessica Robertson
Oh, God.
Missy Robertson
That's it.
Jessica Robertson
Oh, God.
Missy Robertson
I didn't know this was gonna be.
Al Robertson
Such a shock for you, but there you go. All right. What do you say?
Missy Robertson
So what did you have in mind?
Jessica Robertson
I mean, I didn't have anything in my mind.
Willie Robertson
I'm sure you weren't thinking about it.
Jessica Robertson
Maybe I should be really prepared for this because I don't like the way this is going. Reed and Brighton, they're like, we don't know. What do you want to be called? So I don't know.
Missy Robertson
So what do you.
Al Robertson
I suggest rock until I hear a better idea. Well, you can B role. I like that.
Jessica Robertson
Why don't we ask the unashamed nation?
Missy Robertson
Unashamed. Unashamed nation.
Jessica Robertson
What do you think?
Missy Robertson
We need your suggestions. Yeah.
Jessica Robertson
So look, I'll be honest. I don't think Memo and Pepaw are gonna fly.
Missy Robertson
So what do your kids call.
Al Robertson
Oh, that's what y'all told me. You want a version of that? Yeah, that. Everybody does that.
Missy Robertson
Jason.
Jessica Robertson
What?
Missy Robertson
Jace wants to be unique is what he's saying.
Al Robertson
I want to be unique because I don't want to be in a restaurant or someone say Mamamaw and like, eight women turn around.
Jessica Robertson
Neither do I. But if they say it right, you're the only one. What are y'all called? What are y'all called?
Missy Robertson
We're ma'am and pal.
Jessica Robertson
Ma'am. Ma'am.
Missy Robertson
That's right.
Jessica Robertson
Ma'am.
Missy Robertson
Well, and I don't know that we didn't come up. Did we come up with that?
Willie Robertson
That came from Swift Swiss Family Robinson.
Jessica Robertson
Really?
Willie Robertson
It was a show.
Jessica Robertson
Don't ask about any kind of wholesome show on tv. He doesn't know any about anything about the Rain.
Al Robertson
Are you implying.
Willie Robertson
Jason, you are not that much younger than you.
Al Robertson
Are you implying that I only watched unwholesome shows?
Jessica Robertson
No, but that's all that was on back then. You didn't watch TV at all, so don't bring up that clarification.
Al Robertson
Don't bring up a wholesome show he knows nothing about.
Missy Robertson
You only watch this trash.
Al Robertson
I didn't watch anything if it didn't.
Missy Robertson
Come from Josie Wales or one of those. Is what she.
Jessica Robertson
I don't know.
Willie Robertson
We only have three channels.
Missy Robertson
So what do they call your.
Jessica Robertson
Well, I'm just going to say one comment about your name because I worked at the woman's clinic for 12 years and I don't think I could affectionately call anyone Pat.
Missy Robertson
As long as you leave the smear off.
Al Robertson
You should have done when they called you ma'am. They should just called you sir.
Jessica Robertson
Oh, yeah, that's.
Missy Robertson
That's respect.
Jessica Robertson
Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir.
Missy Robertson
Yes, sir. Rock roll.
Al Robertson
It's not that bad.
Willie Robertson
Mister.
Missy Robertson
Ma'am and Mister. So what do they cut. What do your kids call your parents?
Jessica Robertson
Mimi and Poppy.
Missy Robertson
Mimi and Poppy. Okay. There's a Poppy. And it's Mam. Okay. And Papa Field.
Jessica Robertson
Yes, you did.
Missy Robertson
Hopefully you knew that. Good night. Your kids are.
Al Robertson
I'm not. Kids are grown names. And let's come up with. Give everybody a name. Is this what people do?
Jessica Robertson
Yes. Otherwise they're going to call you Jace.
Al Robertson
You asked, I gave you mine. I'm sticking to it.
Missy Robertson
All right, so Unashamed Nation.
Willie Robertson
What about Rock and Pearl?
Al Robertson
Love it.
Missy Robertson
Rock and Pearl.
Willie Robertson
I like that she's a pearl and you're a rock.
Missy Robertson
Yeah, that's kind of treasury and a metal detective.
Al Robertson
Embrace this time of your Life.
Missy Robertson
So it's Al. Restorationproductions.net Send me your suggestions.
Jessica Robertson
Oh, boy.
Missy Robertson
We'll talk about it later.
Al Robertson
We also still need a name for the show and Missy said quit worrying about it. That people will come up with it. But.
Missy Robertson
And we got a lot of names that we did. Very creative. Interesting. But they were.
Al Robertson
They looked into them. They were the copyrighted. Or they didn't like them.
Jessica Robertson
Yeah.
Missy Robertson
Or they don't like if they say it's too on the nose. Like they don't like that. Like it's catchy or whatever. They're.
Al Robertson
I tried lot last podcast because I thought that name I came up with was awesome, but no one likes it but me.
Jessica Robertson
What was that? Oh, no.
Al Robertson
Dirt bag.
Jessica Robertson
No.
Missy Robertson
Yeah.
Jessica Robertson
No, no, that's not. That's not.
Missy Robertson
Dirt Bags meet Rock. You know.
Al Robertson
Well, I thought it should be a depiction of us.
Jessica Robertson
You're a dirt bag.
Missy Robertson
That's what dad said. Dad said the exact same thing.
Al Robertson
Because before I came to Jesus, I'm technically a dirt bag. Since I learned metal detecting from Jesus, I'm like, he turns the dirt bag into a new creation. Also, a second meaning to that is we dig in the dirt and we're looking for bags of gold.
Missy Robertson
This is the subtitle under the shadow. What he just said.
Jessica Robertson
Yeah. So, so much for the catchy title.
Al Robertson
And. And it appear. I want people of the world who are not believers to watch, so I think they would be more willing to watch something called Dirtbag than Holy Rollers.
Jessica Robertson
Well, who said naming it Holy Rollers?
Al Robertson
I'm just using it for an illustration.
Missy Robertson
Rocket rollers. Yeah. We're out of time. That went by fast. That was fun. It's always good to have the ladies on. I was saying this with mom and Amaron. Our female audience is really growing because I'm getting about as many emails now from ladies as I am from men. So we appreciate you guys and I know you really like it when you hear the women's perspective. Cecily, since we tell all the stories.
Jessica Robertson
We got to cut.
Willie Robertson
Me and Case got to come back on and talk about our book.
Missy Robertson
We are. We're going to do that. They have a new book coming out, so I'm excited about that. So we'll. Next time, Ladies Day, we'll talk about Sister Roar.
Al Robertson
Well, we may write a book about being grandparents. When that happens, we're going to call it Rock and Roll. God.
Jessica Robertson
Here we go.
Phil Robertson
All right, guys, we hope you enjoyed that episode of Unashamed right here in the duck call room. Yeah, man, that was a lot of fun. We thank y'all for tuning in. You could be tuning into anything you wanted to on Thanksgiving, but you chose to tune into us tonight. This is really cool. So we are thankful for each and every one of you, aren't we?
Jase Robertson
Sigh Yep, Thanksgiving rules.
Phil Robertson
Thanksgiving is awesome. So if you're laying there trying to, you know, figure out, do I unbutton my pants, or do I just go to bed and be miserable? I don't care which one you do. I'm just glad that you had a happy Thanksgiving, thankful that you chose to spend some of your time with us. And Johnny D. I send us out of here.
Jase Robertson
I saved one pair of pants from my big boy days just for today.
Al Robertson
Whoa, whoa.
Jase Robertson
Thanksgiving, y'all. No, I'm just kidding. But when I think of treasures, I think up of Matthew 6:19. Do not store up yourself treasures on earth, where people lose them, drop them in ditches, and Jace goes and finds no where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourself treasures in heaven, where thieves cannot break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Phil Robertson
Amen, buddy. Happy Thanksgiving again, y'all. Thank y'all so much.
Al Robertson
We see y'all already lost. Go with your heart, boys.
Phil Robertson
We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're up.
