Si Robertson
Filmed in front of a live studio audience in Westman Road, Louisiana. The Duck Call Room.
Phil Robertson
Welcome back.
Willie Robertson
Huh? That said stop screaming.
Si Robertson
I thought you said you were ready.
Phil Robertson
You blew out the mic.
Si Robertson
Filmed in front of a live studio audience in West Monroe, Louisiana. What was that guy? What was Bob Barker.
Phil Robertson
Come on, Johnny Olson.
Si Robertson
Yeah, I want to be that guy today.
Willie Robertson
Bob Barker. Come On.
Si Robertson
Was filmed in front of a live studio audience. We got an audience today.
Willie Robertson
We do have an audience.
Si Robertson
Bob Barker was Price is Right, right?
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
You keep looking at me.
Jase Robertson
My mother won that.
Willie Robertson
Kevin.
Si Robertson
That is a cruise. Both.
Willie Robertson
But we got enough to talk about today.
Si Robertson
We got a lot to talk about.
Willie Robertson
Kevin Peel. If you're listening to this, which I doubt you do, I'm ignoring you.
Jase Robertson
So, Kevin Peel. Urik Ben.
Phil Robertson
But he's a good time Kevin.
Willie Robertson
He's a good phone conversation. If y'all need somebody to talk to. Ought to give out his number. How funny.
Si Robertson
That would be clever.
Willie Robertson
But problem? Yeah, no, he's too mean, though. He'll. He'll come up with something more diabolical.
Phil Robertson
So he'll get you back like Willie does.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, that's a tough one.
Si Robertson
But we do have an audience today.
Willie Robertson
We do.
Si Robertson
Always. One of my favorite podcasts that we do whenever we just have friends, strangers, just people we meet somewhere and we're like, hey, come watch us go. And you'll see that we're not lying when we say we have no plan and no idea what we're going to do. And then they're like, wow, that was weird. And we're like, yep.
Willie Robertson
So who did you bring?
Si Robertson
Oh, I brought the furthest guest in the history of guest, Philip. I don't remember this episode because it was so long ago. Okay, but I have an email right here from December 15, 2023, a year ago. His name is Andrew. He's from rural Ireland, and he listened to the duck call room that year for 100, 1,949 minutes.
Phil Robertson
Wow.
Si Robertson
And we did a whole thing last year about that. And I think he was by far the winner. Like, there was a couple other 60 thousands, but rural Ireland took it. And we said, hey, if you're ever in West Monroe, come see us.
Phil Robertson
Come see us.
Willie Robertson
Well, guess who's in west Monroe.
Si Robertson
He walked in the honey hole this morning.
Phil Robertson
All right.
Si Robertson
You should hear him talk.
Phil Robertson
Hey, let's get him on here. Yeah, come here, come here.
Jase Robertson
No, no, I was fixing that.
Phil Robertson
Sit right here.
Jase Robertson
Where is rural Ireland?
Willie Robertson
That's in the outskirts of Ireland.
Si Robertson
So this is Andrew. Rural Andrew emailed me a month ago and we were. He said he's coming. I was kind of waiting to see. And then this morning somebody walked in. That voice does not match the rest.
Andrew
Andrew, how's it going?
Willie Robertson
He full of blood? So, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Si Robertson
So, Andrew, you're a carpenter.
Andrew
Yep.
Si Robertson
Yep. And you listen to us. Do you still listen to us that much?
Andrew
Yeah, I. I have. I just listen to you in my headphones all day at work.
Si Robertson
That Irishman has side playing in his head all day long.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah, yeah. You got stories, don't you?
Andrew
You don't want to see my head.
Jase Robertson
My headphones. Okay.
Willie Robertson
If s welcome in your head. That's a good one there. So, Andrew, I guess my question is why? I mean, I don't.
Si Robertson
Why us, Andrew?
Andrew
Why not?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, why not?
Si Robertson
That's why not, mate.
Willie Robertson
I'm just curious, like, what a about us is like, you're like, I'm not turning these guys off because 1001000 minutes. Quick math says that's a lot of hours. Which also, by the way, you work a lot of hours. Yeah, I like that. Yeah.
Andrew
Self employed.
Willie Robertson
Okay. So what. What are you? Your carpenter? What. What's your specialty? Anything.
Andrew
Everything.
Willie Robertson
Everything.
Andrew
I'll go in. I'll. I'll go in and I'll build your house from start to finish.
Willie Robertson
Oh, okay. So framing and everything. Do it all.
Andrew
And all the way to finishing.
Willie Robertson
All the way to cabinetry and everything. Okay. Once.
Jase Robertson
Oh, you would. Would you consider yourself a master carpenter?
Andrew
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Well, no, no, no.
Si Robertson
I'm just saying, as far as the Irish are concerned. He is.
Jase Robertson
We got a real good friend of mine that's a carpenter.
Andrew
Right.
Jase Robertson
Okay. And he helped. He helped feel which. Anything my brother has built is never square.
Andrew
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Okay. So we got. Mac Owens is a master carpenter.
Willie Robertson
Yes.
Jase Robertson
So he built all of our duck blinds, and everything was square. So Phil didn't like it. He said, hey, it's a duck blind, son. It can't be square. The ducks recognize it.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Nothing in nature square.
Andrew
There's no right angles and things.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
No right angle. That's all you know. That's the. The number one line of a poor carpenter.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Nothing in nature square.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Because he come up with a bright idea one time. He said, hey, boys, you know, we started building the blind, and he said, we're going to make this so big that no, a duck would never say that's the duck blind.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
But look, we had. We actually had three duck blinds in one.
Andrew
Right.
Jase Robertson
We had a kitchen. We had bedrooms. Yeah. We had the whole nine yard. Okay. This thing was a monstrosity.
Si Robertson
Have you ever built a duck blind?
Andrew
I have not.
Si Robertson
Are you allowed to hunt ducks in Ireland?
Andrew
I don't know.
Jase Robertson
He's not a hunter. He's a carpenter.
Si Robertson
He's a garbage. That's fine.
Andrew
There's not much hunting in Ireland.
Willie Robertson
There's not much.
Si Robertson
Okay, thank you.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. I could tell you he's a lot.
Si Robertson
Like Godwin, except from a different country. So I really struggle.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Well. And that maybe that's why I understand him, because he is a lot like Gavin.
Andrew
That's what I said to Johnny D earlier. I says, I feel like I'm the honorary God. 1.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
So much smaller than the rest. He is. And I come with subtitles.
Jase Robertson
Hey, I. To answer your question, I know why he listened to us.
Willie Robertson
Why?
Jase Robertson
Because we're impressive.
Willie Robertson
Are we?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
So I wouldn't go with that.
Jase Robertson
I mean, I don't know how long he listened to us, but hey, it was a long time.
Willie Robertson
All of it.
Jase Robertson
Hey, we must be doing something right.
Si Robertson
Well, what I learned about my new friend, Andrew. New old friend. We just met in person for the first time. Andrew. You want to know the other thing he did in the United States while he's here? You're not going to guess it. Where he. Where he just came from.
Andrew
Not very Irish.
Jase Robertson
It's not very Irish.
Willie Robertson
Mar a lago.
Si Robertson
Incorrect. You got to go further west. He just came from Vegas.
Willie Robertson
He got married.
Si Robertson
No. He went to the Giant rodeo in Vegas.
Willie Robertson
Oh, the NFL?
Andrew
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Oh, so you are a redneck. Just displaced in Ireland.
Jase Robertson
That's.
Andrew
Yeah, that's what I like to think.
Si Robertson
Okay, friend. You went from Ireland to Vegas for a rodeo and then said, you know where I need to go West Monroe, you are a redneck.
Willie Robertson
But, you know, if you're the national.
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah. PBR.
Willie Robertson
But if you're from Ireland, like, LA is pretty close to Vegas. I mean, in the grand scheme of.
Si Robertson
Things, like, it's not that far out of the way. Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Once you. Once you're this committed, like, so where. Okay, you. I'm guessing you flew from Ireland to Vegas.
Andrew
Yeah, we flew to Vegas, and then we flew from Vegas to Dallas.
Willie Robertson
Oh, okay.
Andrew
And then we hired a car in Dallas and drove.
Willie Robertson
Okay, and then you're going back to Dallas.
Andrew
Driving back to Dallas.
Willie Robertson
When are you going home?
Andrew
Friday.
Willie Robertson
Friday. Okay. Should be home for Christmas.
Andrew
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Okay. That's cool, man. That's awesome.
Si Robertson
That is.
Willie Robertson
That's wild, man.
Si Robertson
Well, because we've invited a lot of people on, and they never show up.
Willie Robertson
Steve Harvey ain't been here yet. Shaquille O'Neal still ain't come.
Jase Robertson
Dave Harvey would be a hoot.
Si Robertson
But my man Andrew, you had to do the most work to get here. And I. I thank you for it, sir.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. That's all. So who's with you, Andrew? Because there's a. There's a lovely lady over here.
Andrew
My wife Chantel.
Willie Robertson
Chantelle. Okay. All right. There you go. How long y'all been married?
Andrew
Was it two years?
Willie Robertson
Huh? Oh, okay.
Si Robertson
20, 23.
Willie Robertson
He's already rounding up. He said two years. Look, he's. He's banking on the future. She said, not so fast.
Si Robertson
I love it.
Willie Robertson
So we ain't there yet. She said, you just brought me from Ireland to Vegas to west, to the paper mill.
Andrew
You know what?
Si Robertson
He's right. He found Paula.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Ah, there you go.
Andrew
This is. This is my holiday, my vacation. Because normally we go to Orlando.
Willie Robertson
Oh, really?
Andrew
World.
Willie Robertson
Okay. Because that's what she likes.
Andrew
Obsessed with Disney.
Willie Robertson
Well, we are definitely not Mickey Mouse, so. Chantelle, I'm sorry, but you're doing the Lord's work here, supporting your man on this. So she really hats off to you.
Si Robertson
You better keep her around for the long haul. If she was willing to go to Vegas for a rodeo. And then West Monroe, nothing. And they're hanging out in Fort Worth.
Willie Robertson
Nothing says. Nothing says romance like cow manure and a paper mill. Oh, yeah, that's where Andrew's taking her.
Jase Robertson
What we have here is a Irish cabinet maker that's also a cowboy.
Andrew
Yes.
Willie Robertson
At heart.
Jase Robertson
At heart.
Andrew
At heart.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Have you ever ridden a horse?
Andrew
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Okay. Bull. No, no, none of that.
Andrew
I'd love. I'd love to. I'd love to try the. The saddle. Bronc riding on the bareback riding.
Jase Robertson
You want to try that?
Andrew
I'd love to try it. Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Hey, I don't ride a bull. I throw it.
Willie Robertson
And you speak it. You talk a lot of it. That's why.
Jase Robertson
That's what I said, I throw it, boy.
Andrew
You punch him in the head and kill him.
Willie Robertson
So you're. You're an adrenaline junkie.
Andrew
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Okay. Yeah. You're an adrenaline junkie.
Si Robertson
Well, yeah, he. He has psy in his head all day. He's trying to find ways out.
Willie Robertson
Well, let me tell you something. If you say, you know what, I'll get on a saddle brock and you ain't ever done it, you're an adrenaline junkie.
Si Robertson
I won't even look at a horse that's like a fence between us.
Willie Robertson
That's like a drag race car, but with real horsepower. Yeah, that's a real horse under power.
Jase Robertson
You talk about getting size head.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Stone, actually, you know, we've got. I've got an audio book.
Andrew
Oh.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
Stone is the one that done.
Si Robertson
It was funny.
Jase Robertson
Okay. And look, he still says he have. He hasn't got over it yet.
Si Robertson
Long time.
Jase Robertson
He still. He said he's still struggling with some of the issues that it caused.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, that's the day he started drinking.
Si Robertson
Oh, boy.
Jase Robertson
Come to think of it, it is.
Si Robertson
No, stop it. That's not true.
Jase Robertson
That is true. I'm serious. I just remembered.
Si Robertson
Did I tell you what I got my sister this holiday season?
Willie Robertson
No. But as a twin. Mom, it better be good.
Si Robertson
It's neutrophil.
Phil Robertson
Oh, there you go.
Si Robertson
Brittany convinced me. That's what you get a lady in your life that has twins, buddy.
Willie Robertson
Let me tell you. Hair care, them twins, they. They do a number on these ladies hair. Apparently there was hair everywhere in our house and then there wasn't.
Phil Robertson
So that's exactly what happened in my house. And Brittany got Alicia on it.
Willie Robertson

But when you come from a very pork based breakfast as the United States.
Andrew
If a different kind of bacon.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
It's not bacon.
Willie Robertson
No. It's ham.
Andrew
Yeah. It's a back.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
That's what it. Yeah.
Willie Robertson
But what, so what are, what are you Irish folks known for? Like your cuisine, like the meal of Ireland is. Because them Scottish folks got that haggis.
Andrew
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
That stuff's trash.
Andrew
Stereotypical Irish dinner would be bacon and cabbage.
Si Robertson
So bacon and cabbage.
Andrew
A boiled ham.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Si Robertson
Ham and cabbage. I get behind that.
Andrew
Or car.
Si Robertson
When I was in Ireland, I ate a bunch of like roast beef on like mashed potatoes and carrots.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
They were down with.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Si Robertson
And then like a lot of their beers would fill you up for like the next week. They were very heavy.
Willie Robertson
Very heavy.
Si Robertson
Yes. It was not a natty light.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
No, we don't, we don't drink late beer.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. That's when he said that very American.
Jase Robertson
Beer is like 10% alcohol. As is 2%.
Willie Robertson
Well, one of my favorite ones that I ever had, I don't really drink much anymore. But a Smith, which is called Mitics, it's called Irish ale or something really good. Yes.
Si Robertson
Don't pronounce the W. Yes.
Willie Robertson
Medics. Yeah.
Si Robertson
I know this because I was in Ireland in college and there was a couple wild Nights in Ireland. So much so I named my dog Dublin.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Si Robertson
I said, one day, Andrew's coming to visit.
Willie Robertson
It's the largest city in the world.
Phil Robertson
Hey, Andrew, you didn't know that for you, Andrew.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
I want to know, after all the listening to this podcast, what are some things that really stood out to you?
Andrew
Oh, well, there's. There's one thing that for the last two or three years, I've really wanted.
Willie Robertson
To say to s. Go ahead, buddy. Shoot your shot.
Si Robertson
Good question.
Jase Robertson
Tacos.
Willie Robertson
Tacos. Oh, Christine. He's a big fan of the Christine episode. Tacos.
Si Robertson
That's funny.
Willie Robertson
We were eating spaghetti. No. Tacos.
Jase Robertson
No, he was that.
Si Robertson
I did not know where you were going.
Willie Robertson
I love it. So, people in Ireland, and we'll let you get out of here in a minute. But I just got to know, have y'all ever seen Black Panthers over? Y'all got any mysterious large black felines that people claim to see but they really haven't?
Andrew
No, but I saw something when we were driving last night.
Willie Robertson
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Andrew
We're driving down the interstate and there was something.
Willie Robertson
No.
Andrew
Off in the bush.
Willie Robertson
Really?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
He's a believer now.
Si Robertson
What is Ireland's famed. Y'all don't have the Sasquatch? Do you have a Rougarou or.
Andrew
No? Nothing.
Willie Robertson
And Loch Ness is over in that other country.
Si Robertson
Yeah, we don't talk about that.
Jase Robertson
It looks something like this.
Andrew
Yeah, it was something like that. It was large, dark gate.
Si Robertson
Andrew, every time you're in West Monroe, you're welcome.
Willie Robertson
You want to know what that says? That even after a hundred thousand minutes, Osmosis is real. You got him believing he's seeing things he ain't seeing after that long.
Andrew
No, it's an internationally recognized animal now.
Jase Robertson
Hey, hey. There was a mountain lion just killed in what? Outside of Kilgore, Texas.
Willie Robertson
Well, I've never run over by.
Jase Robertson
Run over by a truck.
Willie Robertson
Have I ever once argued with you about the presence of mountain lions here?
Jase Robertson
Well, hey, if there's mountain lions in.
Willie Robertson
The Black Panther, then it stands to reason that some of them be black.
Jase Robertson
Okay, thank you. Common sense book that, boys.
Willie Robertson
Ah.
Jase Robertson
The only difference is one of them is black and one of them is tear colored.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Jase Robertson
I mean, a metalite is actually two tone.
Willie Robertson
Chantelle, did you see this?
Si Robertson
She was sleeping.
Willie Robertson
Now, see, this is how most of these things happen, right?
Jase Robertson
Well, there's never two witnesses.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. No, never.
Jase Robertson
Okay.
Si Robertson
And eyewitnesses are no good.
Jase Robertson
And you say, well, why did you have a camera? Well, you couldn't you wouldn't have been quick enough to take the picture of it anyhow.
Si Robertson
That is a good point.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Andrew
I was trying to drive down the wrong side of the road, so I couldn't take a picture.
Jase Robertson
Hey, there you go.
Si Robertson
That clip. That one. Hunter. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. You were.
Jase Robertson
I love it.
Si Robertson
You're driving and seeing stuff.
Phil Robertson
Size world, the wrong side of the road.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
It's hard to take your word for anything.
Andrew
Now that I read, we're trying to drive down the road in a small house.
Willie Robertson
In a small house.
Andrew
Very large vehicles over here.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
Very large.
Si Robertson
I saw it because it had Texas. It's like a F250.
Andrew
It's a. It's a. Was it a Silverado 1500?
Si Robertson
Oh, okay.
Willie Robertson
Oh, Chevy.
Si Robertson
He had a big old truck. And I said. And.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
You come to America not get a big truck.
Jase Robertson
Huh?
Andrew
I couldn't come to America and not get a big truck.
Willie Robertson
Oh, there you go. Yeah, That's a good point. Especially a carpenter. Imagine how much stuff you put in. Oh, yeah.
Andrew
I have one at home, but it's half that.
Willie Robertson
S. Yeah.
Andrew
If even I want. That's a big drop home.
Willie Robertson
Okay. And that's a big one. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I got you. Well, so y'all drive on the other side of the road.
Andrew
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Which one of us is right? Yes.
Andrew
Well, we sit on the right side of the vehicle.
Willie Robertson
Oh, so everything was backwards for you.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Bro, they all got mail trucks over there.
Willie Robertson
Oh, really?
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Si Robertson
They don't have. They just got all our mail trucks, shipped them over there, and that's how they've been.
Jase Robertson
The stairwell is on the right side.
Andrew
Well, if you look at it this way. Right. Henry Ford is the father of the modern automobile.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
Henry Ford is from Cork. It's an Irishman.
Willie Robertson
Oh, okay.
Andrew
So we sit on the right side of the car.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
Do you get what I'm saying? So we're right. Because Henry Ford is Irish.
Willie Robertson
Oh, so. But he put it on the other side.
Jase Robertson
I know.
Andrew
He put it in the middle.
Si Robertson
Yeah. I was like, I don't know where this. He's in the middle. Yeah.
Jase Robertson
It's only on the right. If you're on the right side.
Willie Robertson
Oh, man.
Si Robertson
Here's the deal. I'm going whichever way I'm told to because I don't want to face oncoming traffic.
Willie Robertson
There you go. Yeah. I think that's the interesting.
Si Robertson
The crux of the story.
Willie Robertson
I love it. Well, Irish. So you're Irish. What do you think of haggis? You like it?
Andrew
Oh, not too bad.
Willie Robertson
Oh, really?
Andrew
Black pudding. You straight black pudding when you were over there?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I tried that.
Si Robertson
What?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, it was no good.
Andrew
Black pudding?
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
Blood pudding.
Jase Robertson
Blood pudding.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, it was no good either.
Si Robertson
I'm out on all the things.
Willie Robertson
Hey, why are you this close? Can I. Can I offer you a chance at a detour?
Andrew
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Head from here and go south to a little town called Lafayette. Yeah. On your way back to Dallas, you don't go into a gas station down there and you say, I want some boudin.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah, that's.
Willie Robertson
And you'll never. You'll never touch that haggis again. You say. Yep. Them boys got it right. Yeah. Then every time y'all. Y'all be going to Orlando and then swinging by Lafayette to get some booty.
Si Robertson
I might. I'm trying to think if I have some.
Willie Robertson
Oh, but you flew into dfw. So did you. Now, I gotta know. As an Irishman, what did you think of a little place called Buc Ees?
Si Robertson
Have you been to a Bucky's?
Andrew
I had to stop at Bucky's. I had to.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Andrew
Just talk about it enough. I had to stop.
Si Robertson
You had to. You have to.
Andrew
We had to. We. We stopped on the way.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. What'd you think?
Si Robertson
For those driving down the road, he.
Jase Robertson
Can'T even describe it.
Si Robertson
This Irishman has never seen anything like that.
Andrew
No. Me and my wife walked in and I turned to her and I said, aren't they confused? Like, this is a. It's a petrol station. It's a gas station, but you can get clothes and a frying pan. And.
Willie Robertson
I had to know because I know going to DFW, there's that. Oh, yeah, the BUC EE's at Terrell.
Si Robertson
Or whatever one, too. That's my favorite one.
Willie Robertson
So that's why I was like, oh, did you stop or are you going to stop on the way back?
Andrew
450,000 gas pumps out the front.
Willie Robertson
How much you spend?
Jase Robertson
And they're always full.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, he got. He got to get back to work a little early because he got some carpentry he got to do after a Bucky.
Si Robertson
After a Bucky stop, after a weekend.
Willie Robertson
In Vegas and a Bucky stop. Yeah, he got some work.
Si Robertson
I've never thought about somebody that drives, like a little car showing up to BUC EE's for the first time because they're from a different country and having their mind blown.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I could.
Si Robertson
I can still see it in his eyes. Was that Today?
Andrew
No. When was that? That would have been yesterday.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Oh, wow.
Andrew
Three brisket.
Si Robertson
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Jase Robertson
Hey, look, I've never been inside one.
Si Robertson
No, no, he's not allowed. There's certain people.
Jase Robertson
That ain't the reason. But hey, I. I've never. Hey, we wanted something to eat, you know, and I said, well, Bucky serves real good food.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
So we pulled in there and I said, I ain't going in there.
Si Robertson
There's four people on there.
Jase Robertson
There's a hundred thousand people in this stupid thing. I'll never get out of here.
Si Robertson
Every one of everybody In a Buc EE's is a big fan of you, sir.
Andrew
Yes.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Target market achieved.
Si Robertson
Yeah, there's like three people that can't go into BUC EE's. You, Larry the Cable Guy and Donald Trump and. Yeah, and, and maybe Joe Exotic. And those are the four that if you go in, you're taking pictures for the rest of your life. Like, that's it.
Willie Robertson
My man went Joe Exotic. Oh, gosh almighty. Well, Andrew, buddy, it's been a pleasure. Thank you so much. You stopped in.
Andrew
Thank you very much for having me.
Si Robertson
Oh, hey, we invited you a year ago. Yeah, you showed up. If we ever invite you, Charles Barkley, if you're listening, we mean it, Sir Charles.
Andrew
Yeah, I can. What, 4,000 miles or something? Yeah, he can come an hour or two down the road.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, there you go. But hey, next time you're on holiday in Orlando, you know, just slide on up. Oh, yeah, that's. It's not near as far as Dublin.
Si Robertson
For real. People like you that do listen to us, we say jokes like, why? Because we don't get it. But we appreciate all of you. Andrew is your leader now, for those of you listening that much.
Andrew
But I brought you a couple of bits from Ireland. They're out in the truck. I'd have to.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah. We go, we'll circle back.
Si Robertson
We'll circle. We'll get Phil back in here. We're going to take a break. You go get me whatever you brought me. All the way from Ireland?
Willie Robertson
Absolutely.
Si Robertson
When we went to Disney World, we had like 4, 582 pounds worth of stuff and we came back with more. But luckily now I know about ship and play, bro. I just thought that was for people with golf clubs because I used to ship Willie's golf club places so we didn't have to drag them around. They'd just be waiting on us. Yeah, you can do it with anything.
Willie Robertson
Skis, luggage, lightsabers.
Phil Robertson
Hey, Hunter just lit up when you said that.

I love that guy.
Willie Robertson
Hey. Hey.
Si Robertson
Yeah, he's still in here.
Willie Robertson
He's tight.
Si Robertson
Yeah, that was fun.
Willie Robertson
Oh, buddy. Absolutely. Like if we had any ducks in Louisiana right now, I'd say Andrew, come duck hunting in the morning. But we ain't got nothing. So don't waste your time.
Si Robertson
It's not.
Willie Robertson
I don't know how much an out of state license. I know how much out of state license. I don't know how much out of country license is. I don't know if it's the same or different or is is the same. Is it? Yeah. So. But it ain't aware it ain't worth it. Like spend that money at Chick Fil A or something or just make another run by Bucky's on your way back to dfw.
Jase Robertson
You'll.
Willie Robertson
You'll be way more fulfilled, I can assure you that. But no.
Si Robertson
So what do you have?
Willie Robertson
So you know, our podcast company does a lot of other podcasts. To tread lively. And one of them is. What's it called? Hunter. What's the other podcast called? Blurry Creatures. Blurry Creatures. Right up Uncle Size Alley. Right. Because they.
Si Robertson
We have a podcast.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. That talks about stuff that don't exist. So that's not this podcast. Well, I mean, it is, but, you know, we stay much more grounded in reality. I think most of the time, employee creatures, people, they gonna like. Yes. However, one of their partners is Free Life soap, and they sent us some soap. So if you would like some Ciao bello. Which apparently means, hello, handsome. I don't know.
Si Robertson
That is what that means.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
In Italian.
Willie Robertson
Ciao bello. That ain't what the Myrish say.
Si Robertson
No, they don't speak Italian.
Jase Robertson
Everybody keeps sending us soap. We must stink.
Willie Robertson
Oh, there ain't no doubt. We do. It's duck season, buddy. We stink.
Si Robertson
I was. I've smelt better in life.
Willie Robertson
And look, how did I know the man that would really be interested in this is the guy millennial, who can never say no to anything.
Phil Robertson
That's not true.
Willie Robertson
Or leftover.
Si Robertson
That is true.
Phil Robertson
That may be.
Willie Robertson
Side nose is true.
Si Robertson
You like free stuff.
Phil Robertson
I say. I say sigh. You done with that?
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
Eat it if you want to.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah. Tobacco leaf.
Si Robertson
I've never understood the scent. Tobacco leaf.
Phil Robertson
That smells good.
Willie Robertson
Is that a real scent? Because that was first time I've ever seen it right there.
Si Robertson
Oh, that's a scent and everything.
Willie Robertson
Oh, is it really, like, hey, you.
Si Robertson
Want to smell like a Winston?
Willie Robertson
To be fair, Cuban cigar.
Si Robertson
That's not how that one smells.
Phil Robertson
But we just got a little manlier and a whole lot better smelling.
Willie Robertson
Oh, look at there.
Phil Robertson
Sigh. Back in the day, did y'all make your own soap?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. Yeah. I thought you might.
Si Robertson
You made your own soap?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Did you ever use it?
Si Robertson
That's why I know you.
Willie Robertson
I know. I know your brother didn't.
Jase Robertson
Why? It was pretty rough. Okay.
Willie Robertson
Like, the soap was actually rough.
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Willie Robertson
What'd y'all like?
Jase Robertson
Yeah, this wasn't mild. Yo. When you. It. You know, it was. It had a lot of grit in it.
Willie Robertson
Okay. All right, so what'd y'all send it like, sand?
Jase Robertson
I don't remember.
Willie Robertson
I mean, do you put, like, pine needles in there or something?
Jase Robertson
Yes, I. When I was cooking it up, you know, I had a big boat paddle in a big iron skillet. You know, big boiler.
Phil Robertson
That is. Wow.
Willie Robertson
So was there, like, a soap pot? You didn't use that for nothing else?
Jase Robertson
No, that was it. Yeah. Because, you know that boil it boil it.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, yeah. Okay. But that wasn't your gumbo pot.
Jase Robertson
No.
Willie Robertson
Okay. It had its own deal. I was just cooking, so I think.
Jase Robertson
They may have done the soap and. And then boil the pigs in the same thing.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Jase Robertson
When the one. They scraped the hair off the pigs.
Willie Robertson
And nowadays, where you grew up on, somebody says they cooking something, that means something totally different, you know?
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah. So that was back in the day when, look, we had a smokehouse.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, they got them too, with the bacon.
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Si Robertson
That doesn't.
Jase Robertson
Hey, no, no, because look, when, you know, Mama said, okay, okay, for breakfast, you know, I'm out. You'll go get it flat bacon. And it would be the story of life. It would be like, you know, like this Andrews.
Phil Robertson
Andrews knows this story. He said he's. It's a good one.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, but it's real bacon. It ain't that ham stuff ate.
Jase Robertson
Oh, no, no. You know, she'd. You know, you could do it either way. Thin or thick. Hey, ma'am, mom used to do it pretty thick.
Si Robertson
I have more questions for Andrew after this is over. Like, is Irish bacon? Canadian bacon? Why can't we all just get along and one bacon. One's bacon.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
As a human.
Willie Robertson
And what's wrong with. Everybody loves making them just call it ham. Like, it's fine. Ham is good.
Jase Robertson
Well, do you have an American pig or do you have a Canadian pig?
Willie Robertson
Well, no, but you get them from Spain. Then my beer.
Phil Robertson
We don't want no Canadian hogs over here.
Jase Robertson
I'm just saying, you know, super hog. Maybe that's why you say, hey, you got Canadian bacon? Or is this American bacon?
Willie Robertson
Well, problem is, Americans decided to take a turkey breast and call it bacon, so, you know, we can't be trusted either.
Si Robertson
So why would anyone do such a thing?
Willie Robertson
That's what I'm saying. So, like, you know, it's fine.
Si Robertson
I had somebody.
Jase Robertson
It really doesn't matter. Okay? Bacon is bacon.
Willie Robertson
And we got more audience in here, too. We got some folks from our friends over at Real Tree. So they are here to do the impossible, son.
Jase Robertson
What's that?
Willie Robertson
Titus is here to kill a duck where there are none. He's never killed one, so he's here for his first one. We're going to try tomorrow. And short of going to the farmer's market and going. And get.
Jase Robertson
But is he going with you or is he going down. Down the field?
Si Robertson
Before you answer that question, which one gives them the highest odds?
Phil Robertson
Oh, yeah, everybody know that.
Willie Robertson
I just.
Si Robertson
I didn't want you had to say it yourself.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, no, he's going with me, okay? He going. Me and Clay and you got a.
Jase Robertson
Good chance to kill one.
Phil Robertson
And look. Sigh. He knows everything there is to know about Duck Dynasty.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. If there was like a Duck Dynasty trivia night, this kid.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
I want him on my team, I would lose.
Willie Robertson
He was telling me stuff that I'd done long forgot about. We did.
Jase Robertson
That's when I say, hey, yo, you crack me up when you done this. And I'm looking at him with a blank stare on my face, and I. What are you talking about?
Si Robertson
Come here.
Willie Robertson
And I said, young fellow. Young Titus.
Jase Robertson
Ever watched it?
Willie Robertson
Young Titus? I said, pop in real quick.
Phil Robertson
Get on in here, Titus.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, pop in real quick.
Jase Robertson
Oh, he's the duck.
Willie Robertson
Oh, I ain't seen him without his hat on yet. Oh, we're gonna. We're gonna have to get some face paint on that hair. Boy, this is getting harder all the time.
Jase Robertson
He's gonna dip your head in an oil barrel.
Willie Robertson
No, it'd be all right.
Phil Robertson
Titus. What's going on?
Jase Robertson
Nothing much.
Willie Robertson
So we'll make this. We'll make this quick for you, Titus. Favorite Duck Dynasty moment. We just.
Jase Robertson
Oh, well, that's tough.
Willie Robertson
Well, I already know your favorite character. You don't told me that. He's right there beside you. So this pretty big deal for you.
Jase Robertson
I think my favorite one ever would have to be.
Si Robertson
When will they hired an assistant?
Willie Robertson
Oh, Boo Boo. That's when our rating started going down.
Jase Robertson
The manhunt. Y'all remember that one?
Willie Robertson
The manhunt one when Jason. Jason Sai had a.
Jase Robertson
Chased down Willie and.
Phil Robertson
Oh, yeah, they were wearing the camouflage.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Oh, that is a Johnny episode.
Phil Robertson
That was a good one.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, that's how Johnny D. Afforded them Christmas right there. Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Okay. He had me there for a minute. A man.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I was caught in the net gun.
Si Robertson
I got torn up by ants that day.
Willie Robertson
I was. I was.
Jase Robertson
It looked painful. Hey, you know where I learned that move from? Or the manhunt? John Wayne.
Willie Robertson
Oh, okay.
Jase Robertson
And one of his war movies, the Duke Philippine Islands. You know where they was in the rice field with the. With the cane underwater.
Willie Robertson
I don't, but go ahead.
Si Robertson
No, no.
Jase Robertson
That's why I learned that.
Willie Robertson
Oh, to hide. Yeah. Okay.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, we used to play hiking state, and my uncle had a big garden and he done his row. You own everything. It's. You know, it's dead. You know, the garden season is over. Now we're playing hind. Go seek. So I said, okay, boy. You know, I said, you know, and we're playing war. So I said, boy, we're fixing to slip them slick them. And I said, what are you talking about? I said, we're fixing to be. We're going to hide in the plane open. It's so simple. They'd never know it. And all we did was got in between the rows and laid down. You couldn't see us. You really couldn't. We was out in the open and you could not see us.
Willie Robertson
Couldn't see you. Just like being in a duck.
Jase Robertson
We won.
Phil Robertson
We always won.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, we won. We killed them all. Because when they come walking up to me, then if they thought it was over, you know, by the time they said, okay, you know, we jumped up.
Willie Robertson
What'd y'all have?
Jase Robertson
Nice. We was playing war.
Willie Robertson
I know, but what guns do you have?
Jase Robertson
We had homemade guns.
Willie Robertson
Oh, okay, I got you.
Jase Robertson
We used to make the wider was one that was the long barrel pistol. Yeah, we used to make them.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Jase Robertson
And we actually. Okay. I'm learning a lot. We had an 18 inch barrel on it. Okay. And we take a bicycle tire tube, cut a circle.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
And then stretch that thing 18 inches. And look, when we run up behind you, stuck it to your back and pull the trigger.
Willie Robertson
That's all of it.
Jase Robertson
Oh, no, you got a whip on your back, buddy.
Willie Robertson
Well, y'all sure wear knives.
Jase Robertson
Oh, no. Hey, that was fun.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, they were mean.
Willie Robertson
Sounds like it.
Jase Robertson
Oh, it was.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Well, if you don't know no better.
Jase Robertson
Well, hey, now, the trigger was a clothes pin.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
You put it actually closed it, the clothes pin on it when you stuck it to you. Open the clothes fan.
Si Robertson
Well, Titus, do not do any. You will get in trouble for all of these.
Phil Robertson
Oh, yeah, no, no. I just learned some stuff.
Willie Robertson
Do not bring one of them in the morning. Let's stick to the 28 gauge and we'll be all right. Titus, normally that's a good gun.
Jase Robertson
He's gonna let you shoot.
Willie Robertson
There you go. Well, the. Normally, I'd say you'd win the Furthest traveled for here, but Andrew had to show up my D today. Titus. Hey, have you ever met anybody from Ireland?
Jase Robertson
No.
Willie Robertson
Now you have. Look at. They're changing lives, Andrew. Look at that. Ain't that so?
Si Robertson
She thought Disney World was cool. All your dreams actually come true right here in the duck call, right?
Willie Robertson
It's the happiest place on earth, y'all.
Jase Robertson
How old are we there, young man? 12. 12.
Willie Robertson
Don't you miss him, Dave?
Phil Robertson
Hey, y'all are two P's in the podcast he. He's 12 years old on the inside.
Jase Robertson
He says 14.
Willie Robertson
Oh, 14 years older and wiser. Older. Well, Titus, thanks for jumping in with us and we're going to have fun in the morning, man. We'll let y'all know on the next podcast how our exploits go. Forgot his hat.
Si Robertson
Titus, I'm keeping your hat.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, there you go. Sigh. Sign it and send it back over.
Si Robertson
He had a plan. He saw that Sharpie said, I'm just going to accidentally leave this hat here. I like it.
Willie Robertson
That boy smarter than he looks. Now I'm here to tell you that pretty smart. He. I would say he's smart, but when he showed up, he said, go Gators. So we know that ain't true.
Jase Robertson
Oh, he's got a little bit of me in it.
Phil Robertson
That's right. So I've got a question for you. I heard something and, and I've been hanging out with you. I mean, every week for 15 years, I heard something and I want to know if it's true or not. Did you ever live in Ruston, Louisiana, and were. And did you answer a 911 calls?
Jase Robertson
Yes, I did.
Si Robertson
What?
Jase Robertson
I actually worked for the Ruston Police department.
Si Robertson
We are 400 hunter eight episodes in.
Willie Robertson
And we were a 911 dispatcher.
Jase Robertson
I was. Yes, I was a radio operator.
Phil Robertson
I can't believe this. How did I not know that that.
Willie Robertson
Was your first experience to get you top secret clearance?
Jase Robertson
No, no. And look, the worst thing that ever happened, I screwed up one night.
Willie Robertson
Uh oh, you let somebody die, didn't you?
Jase Robertson
No, nobody died.
Phil Robertson
Wrong address.
Si Robertson
Wrong address.
Jase Robertson
But the bad guy got away. Cause I messed up. Look, we got. I'm with Ruston pd, okay. It's a city police. Okay. I also have in my radio room the state troopers. Okay, okay, so look, I hear a high speed chase being in progress. Okay, well, I didn't think I was supposed to alert Arab guys about, hey, he's chasing somebody toward Rustin from.
Willie Robertson
From like Grambling or something. Acadia.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, yeah, you know, so look, he pulls, you know, finally when they're. One of the cops come in and said, hey, look, you need to relay all this stuff. You know what's going on. I said, well, I didn't know. Yo. Yeah, so look that he pulled into a stupid subdivision and run in the.
Willie Robertson
Woods and took off. Run.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. So now they got their. Got a on foot chase. Yeah, but I screwed up.
Willie Robertson
There you go.
Si Robertson
How long did you do that job?
Jase Robertson
Huh?
Willie Robertson
Well, when I was at college, so not very long.
Jase Robertson
Not very long.
Phil Robertson
S Supposed to be given the play by play.
Jase Robertson
No.
Willie Robertson
Could you imagine s relaying critical information.
Si Robertson
No, hey, no, no, hey.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
No, no, hey, they said he's. Hey, hey, no, yeah, hey, no, look.
Willie Robertson
They said he's got a gun. No, no. But I think it's just a knife. Like, no, no, no.
Si Robertson
Yeah, he, in that stupid neighborhood, treats.
Jase Robertson
The situation as if he's armed and dangerous, boys.
Si Robertson
Oh, that's awesome. I didn't know that he's.
Phil Robertson
Hey, he's good under pressure, boys. Under pressure.
Willie Robertson
He just continues to prove that he is, in fact, the world's most interesting. I cannot believe Horace got no sekis. Y'all missed it.
Jase Robertson
No, no, because I keep telling you.
Willie Robertson
Y'All had a chance.
Jase Robertson
I have, I have led, okay? In my short 76 years, a very interesting life.
Si Robertson
Yep.
Jase Robertson
Okay. I really have.
Willie Robertson
Well, yeah, you. 24 and a half years in the military.
Phil Robertson
Greenskeeper, you know, assistant greenskeeper.
Willie Robertson
Assistant greenskeeper. 91 1, dispatch operator.
Jase Robertson
And hey, here's the best part of it. I drove all these people nuts.
Willie Robertson
Well, yeah, I just feel like, imagine your surprise in those days how hard it was to call 91 1. I mean, you had nine. Yeah. So that's a big deal, right? Like, that's a big. And then whenever, 911-911-911, this cyber.
Phil Robertson
This is Cy Robertson. Oh, hang up.
Jase Robertson
Like, what's your emergency, sir? May I help you?
Willie Robertson
Now, hey, did you get a bunch of calls? Like, do you remember any? I'm like, what's the weirdest one you got? I know you blew it on the high speed chase, which is probably made the Rustin PD real mad at you. Cause like, as a cop, I think like, you live for high speed.
Jase Robertson
Oh, the best part of that. No, no, look, the best part of that was, okay, bad or big things come in small packages. Because look, the state department, State police had a state police officer and he was about, I think five, four.
Si Robertson
You talk about the person.
Jase Robertson
No, no, yeah, I'm serious. No, no, he was about 5 4. Okay? And he was skinny as I am.
Willie Robertson
Uh huh.
Si Robertson
Okay, small package.
Jase Robertson
Hey, but hey, do not mess with this clown. He'll kill you in a heartbeat.
Willie Robertson
So now looking back on it, that guy versus big oaf.
Jase Robertson
Oh no, Big O would run from him.
Willie Robertson
Big O would run.
Jase Robertson
No, no, because, hey, the bad guys, because hey, look, they got this guy that chased him into a neighborhood. He got in a house, they're having a gun battle, okay? And I think it was the city police that had him surrounded. Well, they couldn't get him To. To, you know, give up. So guess who they call five Four. They call five four. Okay? He pulls up and, hey, the only thing he does is he flips his trunk open, grabs the megaphone and said, hey, you've got three minutes to throw your guns out or come out or I'm coming in. And if I come in, I'm killing you.
Willie Robertson
Okay, good.
Jase Robertson
Put the horn back in, slam the deal. And so tell me you're down to two minutes.
Si Robertson
This was in Rustin?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
I'm waiting for one minute now.
Jase Robertson
All right, you're down to a minute?
Willie Robertson
Uh. Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
Well, hey, next thing you do is open the trunk again, Grabs his bulletproof vest, puts it on, grabs that sawed off shotgun that they carry. Y'all put 15 shells in it.
Willie Robertson
Oh, man.
Jase Robertson
He said, you're down to 30 seconds, y'all. He started walking. House crash. You hear a window break. Here comes a gun out. I'm coming out. I'm coming out. He said, y'all cuff him. He told the city police. He said, y'all cuff him, take him in. He said, I'm back on patrol.
Willie Robertson
Now. I wonder what else is in there.
Jase Robertson
No, no, because I'm saying, hey. And I asked one of the cops, I said, hey. I said, what's the deal with this thing? He said, look, they all know. All the bad guys know him. And if he gives you three minutes, he means three minutes and he's coming in and shooting.
Si Robertson
Never both.
Jase Robertson
We have one cop, Ruston City cop, he's fixing to retire, okay? So look, he pulls up to a 711 store in his patrol car, okay? About the time he pulls up, a guy has just robbed a 7 11.
Willie Robertson
And they call on you.
Jase Robertson
No, no. Oh, no. He's backing out. And when he turns around, he sees the cop car. Well, he just starts just, bam, bam, bam, bam. You know? Well, hey, the cop was getting out of his car, so he jumped back in. Look, and he didn't raise up. He just pulls his.38 special and just threw the windshield. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. And I said, what would you do? He said, hey, I was just shooting so he would stop shooting at me. I said, yeah, but you blew your windshield out. He said, oh, I'd have blew the whole world up as far as that goes. Hey, just stop shooting.
Phil Robertson
Good grief. Then Titus, you know, on Duck Dynasty, Phil said, I am 91 1. He probably got it from his brother, who really was 91 1.
Jase Robertson
I was 91 1.
Si Robertson
That was a professional transition, Phil, you know, back to Titus, playing games in the woods. This is your favorite uncle.
Phil Robertson
That's your fan.
Jase Robertson
Y'all keep bringing up stuff in me.
Willie Robertson
I've known you for 20 years, and you never once told me you worked as a 911 operator.
Phil Robertson
You know where I heard that from? There's been Alex's dad, Big Al. Big Al? Big Al was in an event and he spoke to this crowd in Ruston, and they told me they was like your buddy. Sigh. He worked for the rest of police department. I said, no, he didn't. He was a 911 operator. I said, no, he wouldn't.
Si Robertson
Russian folklore.
Phil Robertson
So I just found the truth out.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
So you were a nine? Oh, no.
Si Robertson
Every time I think this shows run its course now, like we're out of material. I'm like, no, no, we're not. We got.
Willie Robertson
There's more there.
Si Robertson
There's more to uncover.
Willie Robertson
I mean, I got so many questions like, what was the interview process?
Phil Robertson
Did you have to wear a gun?
Si Robertson
No, he was at a desk.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
But hey, you never know.
Si Robertson
He sound like he had a cell phone is out.
Jase Robertson
That's one of the things I'd ask him. I said, God, if I get a gun, a badge, y'all aren't desk pops in the yelling in no uncertain terms. Hell no, you don't get a gun.
Si Robertson
Beep, beep, beep.
Jase Robertson
And I said, wait a minute, wait a minute, guys. I'm part of the team now. I said, you gotta give me a gun Grief, you know. I said, what if I'm here? Some bad guy comes in, what am I supposed to do?
Phil Robertson
Call 911.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, call 911, man.
Jase Robertson
Hey, I am 91 1, you idiot.
Willie Robertson
Did you get a badge? No, nothing. You just had.
Jase Robertson
That was the first two things. Asked about, said number, number one, do I get a gun? And I'm assuming, you know, do I get a badge?
Willie Robertson
And I said, no, you just got a name tag.
Si Robertson
Yeah, yeah, Robertson.
Willie Robertson
Did you have like a headset like you're wearing now?
Jase Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Si Robertson
We've got to get him on that show.
Willie Robertson
Praise God. What, Live PD?
Si Robertson
No, the 911 show with Reno 91 1. Oh, there's like a whole show that's like 91 1, Texas, and they call 911 and there's this person sitting there that relays it, and it's not that good of a show, but I can save it. I have the actor, I have the guy.
Willie Robertson
I have you a gold mine here, folks. All you got to do is sit there and talk. I have no idea what show you're.
Si Robertson
Doing 911 Lone Star.
Jase Robertson
Here's the thing that got okay. Because I talked to all the cops.
Si Robertson
It's got Rob Lowe.
Jase Robertson
And I said, okay, what do you. What do you hate to hear from the operator? The radio operator.
Si Robertson
Oh, silence.
Jase Robertson
No. Domestic disturbance.
Andrew
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
I bet on that road there's more people injured in that kind of scene set up, because you never know what you're going into.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
So when you call them and tell them, okay, hey, look, we got a domestic violence, you know, at this address.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
You know, they'd say, okay, call so and so, intending to back me up. Meet me there.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, well, that's a tough job, too. You know, what they're doing is tough. And 911 operators, that's.
Si Robertson
You actually have no idea how tough that job is because you're dealing with.
Phil Robertson
A crisis every time you answer.
Si Robertson
Except for the time I called 91 1.
Willie Robertson
That's why what you call.
Si Robertson
I got in a lot of trouble as a kid. It was a payphone, Titus. That's a thing, These little booths. We were at Walmart, and my mom.
Jase Robertson
Nickel or dime or quarter?
Si Robertson
Yeah. She was returning something, so I was just playing on the phone, and I only knew one phone number to call 91 1. And I called it 10 times. But I thought you had to put a quarter in to make the call. There is an exception to that rule. That exception is 91 1. So then somebody calls up there, and they're like, is something going down at Walmart? We've got 10, 911 calls from them.
Phil Robertson
Bomb threat.
Si Robertson
And everybody was like, no, I don't think so. And then that's. I heard it.
Jase Robertson
I was like, oh, I've.
Si Robertson
I've messed up big.
Willie Robertson
Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry.
Si Robertson
Nope. Got outside the store.
Willie Robertson
Who'd you pin it on?
Si Robertson
Well, no, I looked at mom and said, mom? I said, mom, you don't have to have a quarter to call 91 1. I'm guessing. She was like, no. Was that you? I said, yeah. She goes, well, hurry up. Let's get out of here.
Willie Robertson
You know who your granddaddy is? We gotta go.
Si Robertson
We got to go.
Andrew
You going to jail.
Si Robertson
We got out of there. I came clean to my mom because I felt so guilty about it.
Willie Robertson
You sing like a canary, buddy.
Si Robertson
What?
Willie Robertson
I said, you'd sing like a canary.
Si Robertson
I wasn't going down.
Willie Robertson
If any of us get in trouble, we're doomed.
Jase Robertson
I ain't going. I ain't going to the pen by myself.
Si Robertson
We're going as a team.
Willie Robertson
Y'all, Johnny D's middle name is Plea.
Si Robertson
I actually don't have one.
Willie Robertson
Oh, Lord have mercy.
Si Robertson
How did.
Willie Robertson
How did we make it through another 50 minutes?
Si Robertson
And we got. We still.
Willie Robertson
We ain't even talking about nothing. I thought we was going to talk about when I walked in here, and Andrew brought snacks. And he did bring snacks. Oh, yeah. So in lieu of email, we've got some Irish.
