But it was so weird. It was so weird.

[Jase Robertson]

I just read the article.

No, no, no. No jokes. Oh yeah, it was weird.

[Jeff]

The.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm pretty sure. Yeah, he didn't like fingerprints. It was like. It was. I'm pretty sure it was his butthole.

[Si Robertson]

No.

[Jase Robertson]

Who's.

[Jeff]

But I don't.

[Jase Robertson]

Joe's or his husband.

[Willie Robertson]

His dearly departed husband. Now we can't. We legitimately can't talk about this.

[Si Robertson]

The print.

[Jase Robertson]

Don't put it on that table.

[Willie Robertson]

Maybe I will.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't know. I'm a little close to.

[Si Robertson]

Maybe that is what I forgot to show you.

[Willie Robertson]

What? Jorge left me to remember him.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, there you go. So he just went and sat on a copier. Wow. What a life.

[Si Robertson]

And I'm. I can't. I'm speechless.

[Willie Robertson]

He got deported for that? No. He should have.

[Si Robertson]

That's crime against nature.

[Willie Robertson]

Make America Exotic again. This I have. I've never been on Joe Exotics. Instagram.

[Jase Robertson]

How does the man have Instagram?

[Willie Robertson]

Another great question. But he shouldn't. We can't talk about.

[Jase Robertson]

Why can't we. We can talk about Joe Exotic. The boy has had a rough time in the game of love.

[Willie Robertson]

But we cannot direct our fans to his Instagram.

[Jase Robertson]

Now don't go there.

[Willie Robertson]

It is a bad.

[Jase Robertson]

But I. I want to know how.

[Willie Robertson]

Only HBO Max subscriptions would should be allowed to show these things.

[Jase Robertson]

How does Joe Exotic have Instagram? But if we post a hunting clip, we get kicked off Facebook. Yeah, that's what I don't understand. What's worse about hunting than whatever that was.

[Willie Robertson]

That was a lot.

[Si Robertson]

I do know that that was too much.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

I didn't like it, and I don't want to remember it. Anyway. Jeff's here.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Hey.

[Jase Robertson]

We got a special guest. It is quasi like the duck caught one. We're still doing. You know what I was gonna say. You've seen me here, have you?

[Jeff]

No, I've seen you in that very spot. Yeah, I've been wa. We've been watching some Doug Dynasty with Gus because he really wants to watch it, and I just can't stand it because I was just watching this scenario. Except we wasn't doing a podcast. We were just building duck calls. I was like, oh, my gosh, what happened to me? I look so much older. I've gained about £45, I would say. I don't know.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm glad you brought it up.

[Martin]

I. It's.

[Jase Robertson]

It's called life.

[Martin]

It's called life.

[Jeff]

I look so healthy 10 years ago. I do not look healthy now.

[Willie Robertson]

How old are you now?

[Jeff]

46.

[Willie Robertson]

Just ripped the bat. So you were my age back then? Yeah, 36.

[Jeff]

I had. I had the black beard just like that.

[Willie Robertson]

People used to confuse me and you all the time. Except I weighed 40 pounds more back then.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

And I was always like, I'm twice the size of jet people.

[Martin]

He's gaining on you.

[Jeff]

Maybe I'm doing this to show you if you wouldn't have made some changes.

[Si Robertson]

You would be like, this is what would have happened.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. This is looking in a 10 year.

[Jeff]

Mirror for you, dude.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, this is. This is a 10 year mirror.

[Willie Robertson]

You're taking so many pictures back in the day of people that be like, hey, Jeff, will you take a picture? I'm like, yeah, let's just get it over with. Your friends are going to make fun of you when you post this.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, 100%. That's why when they used to ask me like, well, now, which brother are you? I would just make one up. It was way easier than expectation of we're not all family.

[Martin]

New shoes.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Who do you want me to be?

[Martin]

Who do you want me to be?

[Jase Robertson]

Anybody but Al, please.

[Willie Robertson]

Singer right there.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, not that I don't love Al. I just didn't want to have to go put on a vest. Like, I mean, it was fine.

[Martin]

That's it.

[Willie Robertson]

I was out of the vest.

[Jase Robertson]

Now Al is skinny again.

[Si Robertson]

Something good.

[Jase Robertson]

The vest will leave again. Yeah, for a minute.

[Martin]

Oh, it'll come Back. Yeah, it'll come back.

[Jase Robertson]

Al, like the stock market, man.

[Martin]

He.

[Si Robertson]

But eventually he's gonna get back up.

[Willie Robertson]

But. But he actually goes with the stock market. Look, hey, he's that close to retirement. He's eating better when the stock market's up.

[Martin]

Hey, Al should be put on a suit and. Yo. And go replace Perry Mason. That's what he looks like?

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. No, he's.

[Willie Robertson]

I don't know who Perry Mason is. Hold on.

[Si Robertson]

Look at you talking about Cannon.

[Martin]

No.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, Perry Mason.

[Martin]

I'm talking about. What's the guy's name? I can't remember his name.

[Si Robertson]

Matlock.

[Jeff]

No, no, no.

[Martin]

Perry Mason.

[Jeff]

You're right. Perry Mason.

[Martin]

I can't think of his name now.

[Willie Robertson]

He's just Raymond Burr.

[Martin]

Raymond Burr.

[Jase Robertson]

There you go.

[Willie Robertson]

That's just a nice looking man in a suit.

[Martin]

Hey. Well, hey, Al looks just like him.

[Jase Robertson]

But, Jeff, So how. How's life that you're a new granddad? I have questions.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Jase Robertson]

Yep.

[Jeff]

Winston is three months old now.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

Your granddad. You expected to look the same as you did in 2014.

[Jeff]

No.

[Jase Robertson]

But you're trying to be like a hip fan.

[Jeff]

Really, Grandpa, it wasn't like a.

[Martin]

Hey, look, you're a little too hard on yourself.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

You're being hard on yourself.

[Jeff]

Yeah, maybe I am.

[Martin]

You look a little bit hard. You don't.

[Willie Robertson]

You look exactly like I used to.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Embrace.

[Si Robertson]

Wow.

[Jase Robertson]

From when I gained, though. Embrace black T shirts. They really help you feel a little bit better.

[Jeff]

Honestly, this is the only thing I had clean.

[Willie Robertson]

I was a big flannel.

[Jeff]

Perfectly honest. I was going through my laundry before I got up here.

[Martin]

I thought about it. I had put on my shirt.

[Jase Robertson]

Right.

[Willie Robertson]

I was a big unbuttoned flannel guy. Over a T shirt. Really helped save the day.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

So my question is, I've had a couple of people, one, I think last week, say Johnny D. Rags on you on the. On the podcast.

[Si Robertson]

Get him.

[Willie Robertson]

I do not.

[Si Robertson]

Jeff, get him.

[Willie Robertson]

I just.

[Martin]

That's what I heard.

[Jase Robertson]

I have a cup.

[Willie Robertson]

No, I rag on Al.

[Jase Robertson]

There we go.

[Willie Robertson]

I have a couple of questions for you.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

Because we're neighbors. Like when Jet pees off his back porch, it cannot be at the same time as me peeing off my back porch. Because we'll make eye contact.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

So question number one is how. How many animals do you own? It feels like a lot. And the fact that you can't answer that as swiftly tells me a lot.

[Jeff]

About you not including farm animals. Six.

[Martin]

Six.

[Willie Robertson]

There's a new cat.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Willie Robertson]

So Every five seconds.

[Martin]

All right.

[Jeff]

How many.

[Martin]

How many animals, different species has we got here?

[Jeff]

Just two.

[Willie Robertson]

It's just dogs and cats and dogs. He's got two big old golden doodles that just stare at you in the driveway. Great dogs. But then there's cat. I. I think you've miscounted your cats.

[Jeff]

Just four. That's. Some of those are debos that come slinky around.

[Willie Robertson]

My telling you, there is a cat. It's a cat epidemic.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

See that's.

[Jeff]

He's got a bunch.

[Jase Robertson]

That's the problem with cats.

[Si Robertson]

So what about the chickens? You don't have them anymore.

[Jeff]

I do. We got like. We've got like 11.

[Willie Robertson]

No, it's a whole homestead down there. Because the other thing that I have a big question about is when are you building the parking garage?

[Jeff]

I know we need something.

[Martin]

A parking garage.

[Si Robertson]

Too many cars.

[Willie Robertson]

So my parents live on the other side of Jeff. So I always go around the neighborhood and whenever I pull in my parents house, I look at the front of Jeff and Jessica's house and I mean, there's. There's been 12 cars at your house before.

[Jeff]

For sure. It's a problem.

[Jase Robertson]

How many people live there?

[Willie Robertson]

So not an immediate answer.

[Jase Robertson]

Is this like.

[Jeff]

I'm really not sure about it.

[Martin]

He can't keep up.

[Willie Robertson]

He's not sure how many of them are depots or I would say some.

[Si Robertson]

People just walk in.

[Willie Robertson]

But you are to the age where every. You have kids and they're all driving age except for one.

[Martin]

Well, no. No.

[Willie Robertson]

And then they have husbands. Yeah. And they got.

[Martin]

Is. Is okay. His dad and mom taught him to be hospitable.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Martin]

Okay. And that.

[Jeff]

Hey.

[Martin]

And him and Jesse is carrying on the legend.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. But Phil and Kay had overflow parking.

[Willie Robertson]

And they're never in the way.

[Jeff]

I mean, I pretty much live in a ditch, so it's like really hard to park. And. Yeah, it's a problem. Yeah.

[Martin]

I actually burn rubber getting out of your driveway.

[Si Robertson]

You can you burn rubber?

[Martin]

Anyway, back it up.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, no backing out of that driveway. And easy.

[Si Robertson]

So you have six people living with y' all.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I think.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

But 12 cars wrong with that.

[Martin]

It's family.

[Jeff]

It's family.

[Willie Robertson]

It's just family. In and out. Sometimes you're like, man, they must be having a party. And then I get back to my house and I get my binoculars and I'm like, there's no party spy cam.

[Jeff]

So. Okay, so we got a new grandbaby. So part of their problem. Problem is the car problem. My Daughter wants to stay some. She's like, oh, I just want to stay here tonight. And she'll sleep in my bed in my spot with the baby in the middle between and just loves it. Just like, oh, yeah, I want to.

[Jase Robertson]

Sleep mama all over again.

[Jeff]

So there's a lot of nights I'm just on the couch, my daughter and grandbabies in my bed.

[Martin]

Grandpa, grandpa got kicked.

[Jeff]

And I'm like, how did you sleep?

[Martin]

I'm sleeping with Jessica and the baby's gonna between us. And we're both the happiest pigs in slop.

[Willie Robertson]

So sometimes they just come back and stay away.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Jase Robertson]

You got to pick them out sometimes.

[Jeff]

For me, not so much for everybody else. They're fine with it.

[Willie Robertson]

Me you need to talk to Big. Big Dave's got pointers on that. I just show up at my parents house all the time for groceries.

[Jeff]

Well, right.

[Willie Robertson]

And that's.

[Jeff]

It's just fair. Hey, I don't mind them stopping over for groceries.

[Martin]

Hey, Kudo, stay in the night. I love it.

[Jeff]

Then he starts sleeping in my bed. Then. Then there's problems.

[Jase Robertson]

I went over to your parents house last night to eat with y' all. I didn't go get in big day's bed though.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, that'd be it.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, well, not this time you didn't.

[Willie Robertson]

Last night at 8:04, my mom looked at me and said, it's our bedtime.

[Si Robertson]

And I was like, what does that mean? Leave.

[Willie Robertson]

Bye, mom.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, my daughter's the same way. So if any, I want another one. Like, we'll say this.

[Jeff]

What could help you potentially. I think you need to go watch the. Because I think it was filmed. Watch. When Carly got married with Jay, he. Were you there? Oh, my gosh, Dude. Stoney crying because he's.

[Willie Robertson]

Stone cried.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, I've seen Stone cry once.

[Willie Robertson]

He.

[Jeff]

No, no, because I'll tell you, bald and it. That got me. Because that dude never cries.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. But he was just sad because I was coming to live with him.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, maybe think about that parking lot, too.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. He's. He's looking at your driveway and said, I ain't ready for that, man. It seems like these dogs, these daughters, they get married young. They turn into a boomerang. Like, they slide out there, and then they. No, let me get on back.

[Martin]

Well, I. Wait.

[Jase Robertson]

Let me come on back.

[Martin]

Look, wait to be k. All right, maybe you may. I think it'll be BK.

[Willie Robertson]

He cried with Carly.

[Martin]

Well, I'm just saying, when Sage. Oh, B.K. gets married, oh, he's gonna be worse than he was with Carly.

[Willie Robertson]

Stone a big, soft. Deep down.

[Jase Robertson]

That's why I go choke people all the time. So he act tough.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, no, I've seen him cry. That's the. You're talking about that. That's the second time that I heard about him crying there. But the other time was when Sa was had Covid and we had to go get him out, and we had to take him to hospital. He. And look, I mean, Jay's a tough guy. He cried like a baby, and I did, too. But, you know, that's when something is that close to you and you're so emotional about it. Like, I can't even talk about it with my wife. She's like, oh, you're gonna.

[Willie Robertson]

You're gonna be a mess.

[Si Robertson]

I'm not ready for it.

[Martin]

Well, no, that's what I tell you. We're gonna film it, Blake. The thing about Stone is when I had the stupid co, you know, Donald didn't give me a joint. He said, oh, man, get dressed. I'm fix to pick you up in your underwear and we're going to the hospital. And I said, whoa, whoa, whoa. I get dressed. I get dressed. Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

That's because when you had it, you turned into a vicious liar.

[Martin]

Well, see, I didn't know that he.

[Willie Robertson]

Was 5% truth back then.

[Jeff]

No.

[Martin]

He flipped his. Did you take your medication? I said, yeah, I took it. And I thought I had.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, there we go.

[Martin]

Then when I found out y' all, everybody's calling me a liar and you're hard to get along with and all that.

[Jase Robertson]

So how long we got till your daughter gets married?

[Si Robertson]

The June. June 21st.

[Jase Robertson]

That's next month.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, that's right around the corner.

[Willie Robertson]

That's less than a month from when this will air.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, y' all are getting making me anxious.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Let me ask you a question.

[Willie Robertson]

Where is it?

[Si Robertson]

Willie's farm.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Friends and family discount.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I really don't know yet.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, you'll have to tell me what you paid. I'll tell you if he'd cut you a deal or not.

[Willie Robertson]

He didn't.

[Jase Robertson]

School's out for summer, baby.

[Willie Robertson]

School's out for the summer.

[Jase Robertson]

No, just kidding. School ain't out for summer. School's never out with our friends over at Hillsdale College because you can learn about more than 40 free classes anytime you want to.

[Si Robertson]

Did the guys that married your daughters, did they come talk to you and ask you for your daughter's hand in marriage?

[Jeff]

They did. In fact, they both asked me when they took them out for the first time, which was kind of interesting.

[Si Robertson]

Like, can I marry your daughter?

[Jeff]

No, I'm saying like, like both of them separately met with me, weirdly enough, at the same coffee shop. I think the second time I was like, let's meet at this. This is. This is where I interview kids.

[Jase Robertson]

You always do them things in public?

[Jeff]

Yeah, no, they. They said, hey, I. I really like. Let's just say Tyler, for example, he said, I really like Merit. I'd like to ask her out. And so that. Cool. And so we just talked about, honestly, just their faith. And I got to ask a ton of questions just. Just to ask them out, which I thought was cool.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

So when it came to the Marion part, it was pretty easy because I'd already known these kids for so long and we, you know, they're good boys, but I know I do. I'll say this now with. I know with Austin, I just tried to talk him out of it. I was like, I'm just gonna see what he says if I just give a bunch of. What if this happens.

[Willie Robertson]

When he started that.

[Jeff]

Yeah, like, let's just see where this kid's at. And so I. And he would, you know, he was all in. So. Oh, man, it was easy.

[Si Robertson]

And I love dj. And he did. He came to me after church one day and he said. He said, philip, I need to talk to you. I want to ask you something. And I figured out what it was really quick, but. And usually, you know, I, like, jump in and save people if they're struggling. That's just my nature. But I just let him talk. Just let him finish. And he was like, I want to marry your daughter. I was like, so you had no.

[Jase Robertson]

Idea that picture was coming?

[Si Robertson]

Oh, that's bright. No, no, no.

[Jase Robertson]

But I'm just saying, Bryson just did it out of the book.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, this is. Bryson's about to be out of the military.

[Jase Robertson]

Did he tell us?

[Si Robertson]

Oh, he told his mom before he told me.

[Jase Robertson]

He's gonna do it, or just after he did it?

[Si Robertson]

No, no, he told his mama before.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

The youngest. Oldest.

[Si Robertson]

Oldest.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, I get them mixed up.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin]

So the only one that's gonna be left is Blake.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

But Elvis.

[Martin]

Elvis, he left the building.

[Si Robertson]

He has not left the building.

[Jase Robertson]

So he joined the Air Force.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Moved to England 34 years. And marrying a girl from Australia.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin]

It's not good stock.

[Si Robertson]

Good stock. Emily. Emily. Good stock. Emily.

[Jase Robertson]

So are they staying in England?

[Jeff]

That was my question.

[Si Robertson]

No, they're. They're moving here for a while, and then they're going to move back. That's all I know right now.

[Jase Robertson]

Back to England or Australia?

[Willie Robertson]

Is there a chance you have an Australian son? Like, does she ever want to go back to Australia?

[Si Robertson]

No. Her family is in England now, and her dad is the surgeon to the royal family.

[Jeff]

Really?

[Jase Robertson]

Okay, so time out.

[Jeff]

Wait a second.

[Jase Robertson]

When you say they're going to move back here, do you mean West Monroe, Louisiana?

[Si Robertson]

The United States?

[Willie Robertson]

From Buckingham Palace?

[Jase Robertson]

That's what I'm about to say. Man, she gonna be let down. But you know what?

[Si Robertson]

That's why they probably won't stay here long.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, they won't. They'd be out of here.

[Si Robertson]

Unlike the people at Jeff's house, who is loaded up over there.

[Jase Robertson]

She gonna pull into town and smell that paper mill said, nah, bro, we got to go.

[Si Robertson]

We're known for the paper.

[Martin]

We gotta get something.

[Jase Robertson]

We got to get out of here. But first, they gonna drive past the landfill coming into town, and she'll be like, what have y' all done?

[Si Robertson]

He's gonna say, that's where the dead bodies are.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. What have you.

[Jeff]

I think when a British person says jog on, that's the same as, like.

[Jase Robertson]

We gotta go through this. Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

You ever.

[Jeff]

I watch a lot of British shows and movies. Do y' all. You ever hear them say jog on.

[Willie Robertson]

We have those British guys on the show. They never said that.

[Martin]

No, they're actually. They're actually fun to watch.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Martin]

I watch a lot of British people.

[Si Robertson]

But one of the guys did say.

[Jase Robertson]

Now you big into Bridgerton.

[Si Robertson]

No fouling the bridge. That means.

[Martin]

I don't even know what that is.

[Si Robertson]

Fouling, fouling, fouling, fouling. Yeah, no fouling.

[Jase Robertson]

No taking a dump. Okay, there you go. Who it. But I'm just. Dogs. Dogs taking. But she's coming from Australia to England to Louise. Yeah, that's toughie. You know what, though? She gonna find out what Tony Sacheries is.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, that's good.

[Jase Robertson]

She'll probably take that back. I bet they got an ice machine when they go back.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he probably already has that Tony Sasseries.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, she's gonna get on that iced tea and not hot tea. She's like, okay, y' all do have some things.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, wait, so do you get to go to England for a wedding?

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that's where they're getting married. Get married here? Well, I just thought they may just. Since they both world travelers may just pick somewhere else halfway.

[Martin]

Yeah, that's the problem.

[Jase Robertson]

Bermuda or something.

[Martin]

You got to go through a bunch of stuff to actually be able to leave and then come back. It's weird.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Where do they live? Like, in London or somewhere else?

[Si Robertson]

Well, he's stationed there, and she lives there. I think she's just finished school at Cambridge, so.

[Willie Robertson]

Good stuff, I think.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Everything I've heard so far side hit the nail on the head on this one.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Hold on. She's smart.

[Jase Robertson]

Does she know who you are?

[Si Robertson]

Yes. Matter of fact, he turned the TV on, say, hey, here's my dad, and I'm riding up on a lawnmower. What about it? Duck, boys. She was like, okay. Oh, your dad, he seems like he's a little crazy.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, man. I bet her parents are proud, man.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, if you look up me, you're.

[Jase Robertson]

Gonna get some way more interested in the interaction of the parents. Now, 100, you and Alicia with a royal surgeon.

[Martin]

Yeah, yeah, with a royal. With a royal surgeon.

[Jase Robertson]

Can I come?

[Willie Robertson]

I'm in.

[Si Robertson]

Yes. Yes.

[Jase Robertson]

I just want to be at the same restaurant as y' all while y' all have dinner for the first time. I don't want to sit with y' all because that'd be uncomfortable, but I want to be over there observing.

[Martin]

Yeah, it'll be. It'll be too. What's the word I'm looking for?

[Jeff]

Awkward.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Martin]

You know, to be with the royal Family, you know, I'm gonna embarrass you people.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, man.

[Willie Robertson]

You need to bring Sal with you, for sure.

[Si Robertson]

I would love to.

[Martin]

Yeah. I'll. I'll embarrass you if I'm with the Royal.

[Jeff]

I'll say this, though. I think Australian people, in my view, when you get out of the city and stuff, like, they're kind of, like, Southern kind of redneck.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Martin]

Oh, no.

[Jeff]

It looks like, to me, pioneers.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Martin]

Okay. From Australia. You're pioneer.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you were brave enough to hop on a boat.

[Martin]

Oh, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Come from stock that hopped on a boat and said, we're going down there.

[Martin]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You got a lot of pioneer blood in you.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that's. That's a. Yeah.

[Martin]

You got to see what's on the other side of the hill, boy.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Martin]

Oh, and I'll tell you what's on the other side. A bunch of crocodiles.

[Si Robertson]

And I got the boots to prove it.

[Martin]

And I got a set of boots.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, man. That's crazy. Well, congratulations, Bryson. What's her name?

[Si Robertson]

Bryson and Emily.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, Congratulations, Bryson and Emily. All the way from sunny West Monroe.

[Martin]

Y' all have no idea how many alligators. I mean, crocodiles. I had to wrestle to find my pair that will fit me.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, Lord, Here we go. Here we go.

[Martin]

Can help myself, boys.

[Jase Robertson]

But anyway. Well, that's some fun family news. But, Jeff, you came on to share. You asked that if you could come be on the podcast to share something that you guys are working with. So I want to give you the floor to do that right now, too. And I don't want to misspeak, obviously, but we know you work with all God's. All God's Children International. I got to go a little fast. There's. And y' all have a big initiative going on right now, so.

[Jeff]

We do. So it's kind of cool. My new kind of main job now is getting us sponsorships for these kids. And so I've been over there. I think I told y' all. Didn't I tell you when I went to Ethiopia the first time? And, like, I saw some, like. Oh, man. Some hard stuff, like going in some of their orphanages and stuff like that. I was like, oh, man. Like, we. We. We complain here about our system, and it's not great. You know, the. But it's. It's far worse over there. Just amount like, homeless kids in the street stuff. And what they do is. I didn't realize this. You get over there, they sniff Glue, like, because it's, like, easily accessible. So you see, like, a lot of little kids walking around just kind of out of their. Out of their minds. And it's, like, really hard to watch, but. But that's where we come in and we step in and help these orphan kids. And there's so many to help, but we basically pay for their school and their groceries, and we get them to church, and we have people on our team that share Jesus with them, which is awesome. And so, yeah, I'm excited to be a part of this little initiative. And we made a. I think a cool commercial. And it was kind of. I helped with the idea, but so pretty much our whole family's on it. Kind of all the couples, me, just Jace, Missy, Willie, Corey, Al, Lisa, and some of you guys, we filmed today. And so when y' all watch this podcast, I ask that you check out that video. I think it's really cool.

[Jase Robertson]

It's time.

[Jeff]

It's time.

[Willie Robertson]

It's time.

[Jase Robertson]

Time to talk about what's happening in Ethiopia. Families are struggling, hungry, being ripped apart by poverty. And too often, kids can't be kids.

[Jeff]

Because they're trying to help their families survive.

[Willie Robertson]

But what if we could break that cycle?

[Jeff]

What if we could keep families together?

[Jase Robertson]

What if we could let kids be kids?

[Martin]

You can help keep families in Ethiopia.

[Jeff]

Together by sponsoring a child through All God's Children International.

[Jase Robertson]

By helping these children, we can build a brighter future for these families, a.

[Jeff]

Future of financial peace, stability, joy.

[Jase Robertson]

And not just for these families, for whole generations.

[Martin]

Hey, please join me.

[Willie Robertson]

Join me.

[Jeff]

Join me today as a child sponsor through AGCI.

[Jase Robertson]

For just $40 a month, you can.

[Willie Robertson]

Keep a child from homelessness, from poverty.

[Jase Robertson]

From losing their family. You can give them hope, give them.

[Willie Robertson]

Healing, keep them with their family for good.

[Jeff]

Become a [e-mail] sponsorship. 40 bucks a month, and you can really help a child. I'm always like, man, I sponsor eight kids. But I'm like, I get this quite a bit. But, man, just skip a few meals a month. I need to be skipping deals anyway.

[Jase Robertson]

That's not. That's not eating out twice a week, right? These days, I mean, you're pretty much. If you go eat out, that's 20.

[Jeff]

Bucks nowadays, like, even taco bell, like $80.

[Jase Robertson]

That's what. Well, what I'm saying is like a trip to Chick Fil A now is. I mean, it eats up the better part of a 20.

[Willie Robertson]

We're 55 for our family. Yeah, $55 of all my family eats chicken Filet.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Oh, man. It's finally quit raining down here in the South. We're getting a little break from it. So spending the weekends in the yard and, you know, really just taking care of everything. And while you're out there taking care of all your stuff, you know how much better your yard could look with some, some plants from Fast Growing trees dot com.

[Willie Robertson]

They got you in the zone finder. They can turn a black thumb into a green thumb. That is what they're after. They're all about.

[Willie Robertson]

We give them two thumbs, we give.

[Jase Robertson]

Them two green thumbs. Up is what we give them. Look. And you know what else is good? You want to work out in the yard on Saturday. You know what you don't want to be doing?

[Si Robertson]

So it's $40 a month and you can sponsor one child.

[Jeff]

That's right. Yep. And I'm going in September, so I'm excited. We've been doing a lot of cool new stuff with like Tim Tebows. A big helps with us with some of our homes over there. We have a boys home now because we have a couple of girls homes and. And that's more intensive. Like we have counselors for them and we. And they go to school and like they kind of have their own kind of kids. We couldn't get reunified as we always try that. Like try to find them if they're an orphan or whatever. Like try to find an aunt or uncle, somebody that could help them. And so we do that first. But if not, we have these homes and stuff. We can take them in and they're the sweetest kids, man.

[Martin]

What's the numbers? Do you have any numbers?

[Jeff]

How many kids need sponsored? I mean, it's. It's hundreds though. And we're kind of. We, you know, we. It's kind of an urgent thing. So that's why we're kind of doing this is like we've had some sponsorships drop off, which stinks because it's like, you know, this kid was like really flourishing.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

And then if they don't get that money, you know, they're back to hard, hard living. So we want to try to make sure those ones, I mean, we've gotten almost all of them. There was like a goal of 50 and we're like, we have like 40 out of 50, so we almost have all those kids back taken care of. So. Yeah, man, I love it. It's. It's really cool, man. You meet these kids and their caretakers and they're so grateful. You know, they have nothing over there and they're so happy.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

For the little they have. It's really cool. So.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. And if you look on maps and stuff of where like the gospel is on fire. It's like sub Saharan Africa, like in all of. In all of that area. So the Lord's doing work there anyway. So however. However we can support it, you know, we know. And I think Jeff would even tell you this. We all know that we're in a weird economic time. Like, money doesn't go as far as it used to, so $40 is it. We're in a different spot that is a commitment these days than perhaps even five, six, seven years ago go. So. But if you do have it and you do feel led, where. Where can they.

[Jeff]

Yeah, you go to allgods children.org sponsorship and in. Leah, like you said, we always ask people, like, prayerfully consider. Like, you know, just pray about it, and the Lord will tell you what to do or not. And. But it is rewarding. And we do have. You can, you know, you get stuff from these kids. Like, you get checkups and, like, what's going on in their lives, and they send you pictures and stuff like that, so you kind of know where they're at. So it's pretty cool.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. And, you know, you can see where your money's actually going. It's not going into a mutual fund that gets doled out. That's going to a kid.

[Jeff]

It's cool because, like, out of my eight kids, I've been doing it for six or seven years. Like, two of my kids have went on to graduate high school and they're in college. Like, they. They've made it past the.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

You know, they're. They're doing okay now. They have a job and they're going to school, so they eventually can get out where they don't need the sponsorship. But, you know, when they're younger, especially when they don't have family. So.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that's crazy to think that $40 a month is enough.

[Jeff]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jase Robertson]

I mean, because again, we're just.

[Jeff]

It goes a long way over there.

[Jase Robertson]

A couple of meals here. About $40 is enough for a month for a child.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

That's incredible.

[Martin]

I've heard some of our people from White's Fairy Church of Christ that have went on missionary trips throughout different places, and they come back and apologize to their parents. I'm sorry I've been such a whiner. And, you know, because when they see how little some people, other people got, and they're happy.

[Jeff]

Yep.

[Martin]

Okay. And here they are. Oh, good grief. Yo, ba, ba, ba, yo.

[Jeff]

Well, that's what got me into the whole ministry was going to Whites Ferry Road. We went to. I went to Dominican, actually, with Corey. I think Sadie was there, not Willie. And then we were doing, like, a VBS thing with these kids. And what got me was they. We brought them some toys and stuff, and they were like, oh, cool. And then we got them like. Like, just like, tidy whiteies and little white shirts, like little Hanes, but they had never had, like, new underwear and, like, a T shirt. They all cried, and I was like. We were all crying. Like, oh, my gosh. Like, that meant a lot to them. A little something.

[Martin]

No depreciation. You know, Phil done a great lesson on it one time about, nobody appreciates nothing anymore, y' all. And when you drive. If you drive around, like, if you got in your car and drove around Monroe and looked in people's parking, you know, at their house, they got two and three cars sitting there, and they're.

[Willie Robertson]

Saying, Jeff got 12.

[Martin]

And they're saying they're poor.

[Jeff]

Trust me, I know.

[Martin]

No, no. And they're saying they're poor. You don't know what poor means.

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Martin]

You got three cars sitting in your yard and, hey, and you're 40 pounds overweight. So. No, don't tell me how bad you got it, Jeff.

[Jase Robertson]

He really looking at you.

[Martin]

No, no, no. I'm just saying, you know, Jeff catches. When you go to somewhere else where. No, they ain't got nothing.

[Willie Robertson]

Willie took me to Peru one time, and them kids were living above the river. Like, their houses were where the only reason they were able to live there is because there were no rules. Where the Amazon backed up. So it's like, well, we'll just go there. That way we don't have to have no codes or nothing. And I saw a kid literally, like, going from house to house in a bucket as a boat.

[Martin]

Oh, no.

[Willie Robertson]

And I was like, man, I'm gonna try to stop complaining.

[Martin]

Here's the thing. And he was proud and appreciate that bucket.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, okay. He was glad. That bucket with water type, man.

[Willie Robertson]

Best bucket.

[Martin]

That thing has multiple use for him, too.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, okay. Bathtub, like, all the things, man. Well, that's cool, man. Now, that's. That's one of the reasons we were like, well, of course you can come on here and talk about it, because we. We do reach a broad audience that. That may feel led to help with the sponsorships. And if nothing else, just like Jeff said, just. Just pray, man. Pray for these kids, pray for these families. And, yeah, it's an area on fire for the gospel. So that's a cool, cool area of growth in. In the spiritual world. So.

[Si Robertson]

And also, you can. You can choose to, hey, let's do it for six months and see how we like it. Or let's commit to one year.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And see. See if we can continue doing it.

[Jeff]

You know, for sure.

[Willie Robertson]

Jeff ain't going to show up to your house. If you do it one month, fall on hard times and don't do it the next. What are you doing?

[Si Robertson]

Where are you?

[Jeff]

You know what's funny is, though, people that do sponsor, and usually people that do kind of bigger, you know, gifts or whatever, I will call. And so I shout out. I called this lady the other day, she was super cool, and she was like, oh, I'll sponsor some kids right now. I was like, heck, yeah. So she's on her computer and we're talking about it, and. And she goes, hey, can I text you what I like to do for fun? And I was like, what does that involve? And she was like, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

She was like opening Pandora's box.

[Jeff]

She was like, what I. What I do hunting wise. And I'm so. Heck, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, yeah, for sure.

[Jeff]

And this lady sent me. I need to look it up and show y' all. She kills deer with a spear.

[Martin]

Yeah. Okay.

[Jeff]

Out of a tree stand.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh, no.

[Jeff]

Oh, no, no. Up in like, Wisconsin or Michigan, where she's from. No, this lady's legit.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. I want to see a picture of this.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Spear. Chunk.

[Martin]

I've heard. I've heard you. I've heard. Okay.

[Jeff]

It's the thing.

[Martin]

This is a primitive weapon. Oh, for sure, for sure.

[Si Robertson]

So can you imagine you killing too.

[Jeff]

Thick with a spear?

[Martin]

Hold on. Because, hey, I had two year struggle to kill him with a high powered rifle. But I've read about it, seen it on television, about, hey, they only hunt with primitive weapons.

[Jase Robertson]

Tim Wells does that. He's the one that kind of made that a thing. And I. His daughter with one is Sydney Wells. She. She kill him on one too, man. I mean, they. You. That's kind of people you don't want hunting you because you in a bind like that.

[Martin]

That goes along that with Emily. Good stock, boy. Good stock with a spear.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, you have to be able to do this good stock. So, Jeff, did you call her? Did y' all talk on the phone?

[Jeff]

I did.

[Jase Robertson]

That's hilarious.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, you gotta send that to John Dale.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, she ain't playing.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, that's. That's awesome.

[Jeff]

Y' all see that?

[Martin]

That's a bull too.

[Jeff]

Yeah, that's a good buck. Oh, yeah. I was like, this ain't like throwing, you know, getting those yards or.

[Martin]

Less probably.

[Jeff]

I was impressed. That thing's got a big old spear tip on it. Like, look at that thing.

[Jase Robertson]

So, Philip, you kind of work in the same realm.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

At $40 a month, is that not mind blowing? I mean, because you know what it takes.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, my goodness. Yes.

[Jase Robertson]

In a system in America.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Right?

[Si Robertson]

That's a lot more.

[Jase Robertson]

A lot more. So the fact that you could do that. That for a child with 40 bucks is incredible.

[Si Robertson]

That is amazing. And I think. I mean, that's very worthwhile. So I want. I'm. I'm gonna commit. Me and my family are going to do that for a year.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Thank you, Phil.

[Jase Robertson]

That's awesome. Well, now that your family getting smaller, you know, you got less bills now.

[Si Robertson]

I got more money.

[Jase Robertson]

Bigger.

[Willie Robertson]

But, yeah, Your kids don't show up, start eating all your food because they got across the Atlantic Ocean.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, do you. Do you have more money now that some of the kids are gone? All right.

[Willie Robertson]

They're all still there?

[Jeff]

No, they never left. I just have grandbabies that are at my house.

[Willie Robertson]

They're like me and Jenna, except they spend the night sometimes.

[Si Robertson]

That's right. I was hoping it would get better.

[Jase Robertson]

You always go home.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, I ain't stun.

[Jase Robertson]

Now.

[Willie Robertson]

Big Dave looked at me one time. He goes, you get in the bind, I'll get you a hotel. You ain't sleeping with me.

[Si Robertson]

I love that. Hey, I may use that.

[Willie Robertson]

He said, we'll figure it out.

[Martin]

You ain't staying here. Yeah, I'll put you up.

[Willie Robertson]

Martin. You know what Rocket Money alerted me to?

[Jase Robertson]

[Willie Robertson]

Any interesting emails? Voicemail. Hunter. Hunter, Anything that Hunter's. Oh boy. Oh, he been out. Hunter. Hunter's still recovering from hernia surgery.

[Willie Robertson]

Oh my goodness.

[Jeff]

Did you really? I had hernia surgery before. I would love to talk about 16 did it.

[Willie Robertson]

How long did it help you out of work?

[Jeff]

I was so scared. So here's. It's kind of a funny story. I was playing basketball at the time, thought I was really good and. And I was like, oh my gosh. Like down in the nethers there was a bulge coming out and I did a never bowl. That's right.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. And I used to other bulges and.

[Jeff]

I was like, I got cancer. Like, you know I'm saying like worst case scenario, I wouldn't tell anybody because I was so scared and it, it kept getting worse. So what I didn't realize if you had a hernia, it that whatever that tear is in your muscle fiber, whatever, it just keeps getting bigger and stuff keeps coming out. And so it got to a point where it was like I would get up and it was like this big bulge. I'd be like, oh, and it hurts so bad. And I'd be like, oh my gosh.

[Si Robertson]

Then finally, so I can't hold it together over there.

[Jeff]

Finally I'm like, how detailed should I get in this story? I told you some it may have been my girlfriend at the time. What?

[Jase Robertson]

I was like, look, you can't hide it.

[Jeff]

I got a big problem here. And she was like, you gotta go to the doctor. And I was like, no but if I got cancer, I'm gonna die, and I don't wanna. I don't want to know that I'm gonna die.

[Jase Robertson]

I just want to let it spread. Exactly what happened?

[Jeff]

Is that what happened?

[Willie Robertson]

Hunter just yelled. That's exactly what happened.

[Jeff]

Okay. Same story.

[Jase Robertson]

Timeout, same story. Ain't no way you were playing basketball. I don't know what you were doing, but it wasn't playing basketball. Hunter deadlifts.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Willie Robertson]

Hunter was dead. Hunter works out. Hunter lifts weight.

[Jeff]

And that might have been how I got it initially was weight lifting for. Because we were lifting weights.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

And then. Yeah, the doctor was like. He was this old man who I think my dad told me to go see. Which is weird because, you know. But, yeah, this guy, I go in there, I'll never forget, he said, I got a. And this is what he said. Sorry.

[Willie Robertson]

On a lot of things. Hernia doctors.

[Jeff]

But he's like, I'm gonna have to. I probably shouldn't say that. I have to check your back end and your front end is basically how he put it.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay.

[Jeff]

And. And he was more colorful. And. And I thought, oh, and that's another. You're 16. You're like, oh, no.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, yeah. Time out.

[Jeff]

What are we doing here?

[Jase Robertson]

Why are you taking a bat? Right off the problems in the front?

[Jeff]

Right off the bat, he looks this.

[Si Robertson]

Oh.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got a hernia, son. Yeah, we're going to have to do surgery. And I was like, oh. And it was before they did. I don't know what happened to you, but, like, I have a big scar, like a humdinger. You got a pretty big. Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, you going to show us something?

[Willie Robertson]

Comparing scar.

[Jeff]

So mine was a little lower in the region, but, yeah, it's still. It's still numb to this day.

[Jase Robertson]

Really?

[Jeff]

Like, weirdly feels weird.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay, that's interesting. So, Hunter, you had your girlfriend check it out, too. That's the first person. That's the first person you confided in? Well, see, because when I had my deal down there, the hydro seal or whatever you like this one, I showed my cameraman. I was like, yo, buddy. I mean, we've spent a lot of hours in a tree stand together. So, like, 40. No, not Jordan. Stephen from Realtree. We spent a lot of hours together alone, me and him. And I was. I got out the shower after I discovered it, and I was like, man, I don't see him. Right. So I just walked out of there. I said, does this look bad? You know, and just opened it up. And Stephen Said, yeah, bro, you got a problem? I said, okay. I said, I just making sure it wasn't like some weird angle, some trick mirror in there, you know, I just was confirming. So it's funny who you'll confide that stuff in, you know, because you'll do it to anybody except for, like, immediate family, something. You're like, no, I got. Or I got somebody or a physician. Well, you don't just walk in there feeling like that. You don't want to say when they say, hey, what's wrong? Most time. Yeah, I got a little cough, got a little fever.

[Si Robertson]

You know, you don't. Yeah, you don't want to tell that.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay. You don't always walk in there and drop. Drop your britches. Like, you know, but, yeah, that's what I do know. You would. I don't know, you'd hide it. You'd call me. You'd call. You'd call three other people for you. Like, yeah, okay, now I need to go to the doctor. Doctor. Because as a man, the last thing you want to do is admit you got to go to that doctor. And, like, because you know they gonna get the knife out. There's no way to fix it without a knife.

[Martin]

Right.

[Jase Robertson]

On any of this stuff. And you don't want that. Nobody wants that. You don't want to go sleep. You don't go night night, because then you gotta wake up. Trust me, man, I'm telling you. And when it's down there. Oh, man. Now, we signed up for a vasectomy. That's fine. No problem. We know what we were getting into, walking into that. It's the surprise ones that I haven't.

[Willie Robertson]

Had any surprises down there, so.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Well, good luck, buddy. I hope you don't get it. Just be safe. I see you working out lots, but.

[Jase Robertson]

If you do, it sounds like we've got the whole gamut of it covered. We can give you. We can give you practical.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, I guess I'm calling Hunter first thing. Hey, Hunter, here's that picture.

[Jase Robertson]

Is this what yours look like?

[Willie Robertson]

I'm going to send Hunter a picture and be like, hey, this is what you need for. For the podcast. And pow.

[Jase Robertson]

Now, did Phil come help you put your pants back on after surgery? No, because Hunter's dad did.

[Martin]

No.

[Jeff]

I remember showing up after I had surgery and I was, like, barely getting along, and he just started dying laughing. He. Yeah. Yep. His gut done ripped on him.

[Martin]

It happens. Who's that?

[Si Robertson]

Phil.

[Willie Robertson]

Then he probably hit you.

[Si Robertson]

Yep.

[Martin]

We've all been real concerned.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, Gepp we're real concerned and loving.

[Martin]

About stuff like that.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, that's it.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, I guess we're. We're at the end here, are we? Yeah. 52 minutes.

[Willie Robertson]

I didn't have an email, but that is because our email box was full of people reaching out about my uncle and all that stuff. So I just want to say how much I appreciate all the messages. Yeah, we're making it. We're moving along. And that's why today's Bible verse is so perfect from Jet. Being here with all God's children and stuff. James 1:27. Religion that are that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless. Is this to look after orphans and widows in their distress, to keep oneself from being polluted by the world? If you want to do something right.

[Martin]

Right.

[Willie Robertson]

Look at somebody that's going through a hard time, that might have just lost your husband or look something like what Jeff's doing. Helping out kids that don't have parents to help themselves. And that'll keep you right in line with what God wants you to do. Help people out that can't help themselves.

[Jase Robertson]

Amen. Well, Jeff, thank you. Come back anytime. You're always welcome here, especially now that you got 20 people in your house you probably won't get away from.

[Jeff]

I did. I wanted to get out of there today, especially to be honest.

[Jase Robertson]

So we hang out here twice a week for a couple hours. You can always stop by.

[Martin]

By the way, those that were affected in Kentucky and Missouri.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

The tornadoes.

[Martin]

The tornadoes that hit and killed a lot of people. We'll be praying for the ones that lost loved ones and then for the recovery from the tornadoes.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. And there's obviously probably no. By now. I'm a big weather nerd. There's a couple more coming, a couple more outbreaks coming this week. So, like, it's that time of year. Be safe, be smart. And, man, just be thankful. Right. Like, it's not thankful for that, but I'm saying thankful for what you have. And if you're not affected, really be thankful because there's a lot of people who are hurting. Hurting right now that are. Yeah. That. Trying to figure out a way to recover from all this. So thank y' all. We love you guys. We'll see y' all next time. Right here in the duck call room.

[Willie Robertson]

We're out.

[Jeff]

It.
