Martin
Has there been anything newsworthy?
Jase Robertson
Yes, there's newsworthy things. We have guests today and I think we're rolling. And if not, we're gonna roll. Most the of Martin's looking at fishing scores, size of what's in the news. But I have breaking news. Today marks a special day on the calendar. Uh oh, four years ago today, we were trying to break the dance floor at Willie's house for the marriage of both Bella and Jacob Mayo.
Si Robertson
Oh, that's today.
Willie Robertson
That's today.
Jase Robertson
And they're both here.
Martin
That was the day of the union, boy.
Si Robertson
Wow.
Jase Robertson
Day of the union.
Willie Robertson
Wow.
Si Robertson
I had no idea of the day that.
Martin
Oh, y' all have made it through four years.
Willie Robertson
Four years.
Si Robertson
Y' all got through the hard part. Y' all should probably write a book on it or something.
Willie Robertson
How to make it four years.
Si Robertson
How to make it four whole years. Oh, man, that's awesome. Though there were some. I ain't gonna lie mine. There were some trying times those first four years.
Martin
He said it was some trying as.
Si Robertson
A guy who just knocked off 10.
Martin
Was that crying Times crying.
Si Robertson
So one of us, a little.
Jase Robertson
Both.
Si Robertson
One of us was crying.
Jase Robertson
It's me.
Martin
Which run home to mama first.
Si Robertson
Oh, man. Lord. Well, congratulations, y' all. Four years. That's incredible.
Bella Robertson
Any advice for us?
Si Robertson
Keep going.
Jase Robertson
Hold on tight.
Si Robertson
I'm going to tell you. I'll tell you this. The one thing Godwin told me that has rang true through all of marriage. It gets better. He was not, in fact wrong in that he said, it just gets better. 10 years down. I can honestly say it is better now than it was 10 years ago. So that was the one truth that I've taken that I remember. I won't forget. It gets better.
Jase Robertson
Sigh. You've been married for 85 years.
Martin
About 54.
Si Robertson
54.
Jase Robertson
Can you.
Bella Robertson
He remembers.
Jase Robertson
That's actually a wild number.
Si Robertson
54 years of marriage.
Jase Robertson
54.
Martin
Especially to a mean one like I'm married to. Of course I'm kidding.
Jase Robertson
But you've been married for. I mean it. I'm not. I'm. I feel like I've been married forever and it would take me 30 more years.
Si Robertson
They're not 54 combined. Let's put it that way.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. I was just about to say that.
Si Robertson
Combined age. There's.
Willie Robertson
They're still four years longer than my age. Doubled.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
You've been around for a minute. Dog.
Willie Robertson
25. Twice as fast.
Martin
But here's the deal. You gotta work at it. It's just like when you do a garden. You gotta work at it.
Jase Robertson
Life's garden.
Si Robertson
Dig it.
Martin
There's a lot of weed pulling.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Gotta water it.
Martin
Because you got two individuals that actually come together and they both bring excess weed baggage that is not needed.
Si Robertson
There you go.
Martin
Yeah. And you've got to. Yeah. Pull here. Throw that away. Oh, don't. Don't throw that away. Keep that.
Bella Robertson
That's good advice.
Jase Robertson
You're a garden guy. I've always said marriage is like a boat.
Si Robertson
What?
Martin
You got a lot of holes.
Jase Robertson
You better hold on.
Si Robertson
Oh.
Jase Robertson
Storms probably going to show up out of nowhere.
Si Robertson
I was going to go.
Jase Robertson
And if you both ain't working towards it, you're going to end up drowning in the ocean.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
Oh, no.
Si Robertson
Bust out another thousand.
Martin
Not both working forward.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. The waves will take you where they may.
Martin
You're going. You won't. You won't last.
Jase Robertson
You end up like Tom Hanks.
Martin
You'll separate.
Jase Robertson
She's with a dentist. You're just on an island by yourself.
Martin
It's like anytime you put two different identities together in harness, if they don't pull together, they never accomplish nothing.
Si Robertson
There you go.
Martin
Always pulling in different directions. Speaking of no good.
Jase Robertson
But speaking of different directions, y' all did kind of take our fan base by storm. You turn on with the fan on or fan off situation. Has that been resolved?
Willie Robertson
The fan's still on. I have to turn it off every morning before she gets out of bed, though, so.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, that's a compromise.
Bella Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
She says she can't get up with the fan on.
Jase Robertson
So you legitimately. You just can't get out of bed when a fan's on.
Willie Robertson
She's bedridden.
Bella Robertson
I can't open the covers and be exposed to the cold air.
Martin
That's right. She don't like cold air.
Jase Robertson
Put some clothes on, man.
Bella Robertson
What do you be My job is still.
Willie Robertson
No. She's sleeping. A sweater and still not want the fan on.
Jase Robertson
I don't get it.
Willie Robertson
I don't either.
Jase Robertson
Well, that's year four, man.
Martin
As you will.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Bella Robertson
And in our relationship, fan goes on at night and it goes off in the morning. That's. That's the compromise.
Jase Robertson
I think y' all should invent, like, timer to help save marriages. Because I. That seems like way too.
Si Robertson
You know, it's crazy to me. Yeah. They make fans with remotes now. You don't even have to get out of bed. Turn it off. It's just.
Jase Robertson
Good point.
Si Robertson
Push a button.
Bella Robertson
Do I have to get a whole new fan?
Si Robertson
Well, yeah.
Martin
No, you have to.
Willie Robertson
We just keep it old school.
Martin
Then you miss all the floor.
Bella Robertson
Let me tell you one thing, though.
Si Robertson
Installing a ceiling fan is like two screws if you've already got one.
Jase Robertson
Unless you.
Bella Robertson
Let me tell you one thing, though, about this marriage. That if someone is screwing in the fixture or whatever, it's me, and I do not like to do that.
Willie Robertson
I don't know if I would agree with that fully.
Bella Robertson
That's true.
Willie Robertson
I don't know if I'd agree with it fully.
Jase Robertson
All right, Mr. Handyman.
Willie Robertson
I'd say 50. 50?
Jase Robertson
Wait, 50?
Si Robertson
50?
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Bella Robertson
No, it's 85. 15.
Martin
That's why you hire someone.
Willie Robertson
That's what I do. That's. I hire people to do it. I don't personally do it. It's not.
Bella Robertson
I like to hire people. So most of the time.
Martin
Well, wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Si Robertson
Time out. Time out.
Martin
Time out.
Si Robertson
We got four years down, but this fifth one gonna.
Martin
That's like me. If I tried to fix something at the house, I'm gonna have to play about three times more.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
When I got called the guy that does it for a living, I broke.
Jase Robertson
A washing machine recently.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I would say that's me, too.
Martin
I'm not a fix it guy.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I'm not either.
Martin
Okay. And don't try to make me. Don't try to do. Give me a honey do list.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
Cause I'm going to laugh at you. Turn it up and you going to get mad.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
Hey, back to what go. Y' all are missing the fun. Because look.
Si Robertson
Doesn't seem like it.
Martin
No, no. Because there's a lot of giggling going on at my house.
Si Robertson
A lot of giggling.
Martin
Yeah. When it gets a little cool. Cause I get cool and then I get cuddly.
Si Robertson
Oh, okay.
Martin
So the first thing you hear when I. If I get cold, you're gonna hear my wife giggling.
Si Robertson
What does that do for you? What does that do for you, Bella? You ever just. You ever just pictured your uncle sign?
Bella Robertson
I didn't want to know that someone.
Si Robertson
Turned the air on.
Martin
Oh, no. I'm a color from way back. Okay, that's from.
Willie Robertson
Look.
Martin
That's from my mother having dogs who help her wake the children up.
Jase Robertson
Y' all ain't got like an alarm clock?
Martin
No.
Jase Robertson
A rooster?
Martin
No, no. But it's more fun with the dog. We'll hear and there and smell the bacon cooking and all that. And then we'll hear. Mamie, it's time to get the kids up.
Jase Robertson
Who's Mamie?
Martin
Mamie's the dog that weighs 125 pounds that have been out all night in the cold. Her nose is like an icicle. And guess what? She's coming in the bed. And it ain't no way you can keep her out from under the covers.
Si Robertson
You can't turn that off with a.
Martin
Oh, no, no, because here she comes. And then it's.
Willie Robertson
I thought you were going to say the dog started giggling. You know, giggles too. I didn't know.
Si Robertson
So what about that dog made you cuddle?
Martin
Well, hey. Well, hey, when I got married, if I get cold, I don't used to be the dog. I don't want to get warm.
Si Robertson
Okay. All right.
Martin
Hey, I go to mama and get warm real quick.
Si Robertson
Okay. Hey.
Martin
Then the fun begins.
Si Robertson
Our 16 year old intern is finding a good giggle about.
Martin
He just went.
Jase Robertson
That was the exact face he made. Hold on. But I. I have to reverse this a little bit. You're installing appliances at your home.
Willie Robertson
No, she's not. She is.
Bella Robertson
I did install.
Willie Robertson
She put these Amazon $10 sconces up beside our bed and think she's a new engineer. Okay, that's what she's talking about.
Bella Robertson
The gift that I got you, that you love.
Willie Robertson
She bought me a bidet one time and a part of the Christmas gift. She put the bidet on the toilet. A new English.
Martin
I knew how to do it.
Willie Robertson
That's all I'm saying.
Jase Robertson
To be fair, sir, that's impressive. My wife doesn't know how to work a light bulb.
Bella Robertson
That's what I'm saying.
Jase Robertson
What else are you installing?
Willie Robertson
That's it.
Bella Robertson
Well, I just mean like, I hang everything that we order.
Jase Robertson
Like our walls are bare.
Bella Robertson
All that kind of stuff. I hang everything.
Willie Robertson
She puts the nail in and I put it on the wall for.
Bella Robertson
I put. No, I do that.
Jase Robertson
I'm on here.
Willie Robertson
I'll never win though. It's not a big deal. I don't have anything to prove, so I'm not a handyman, and I'm okay with that.
Jase Robertson
That's okay.
Willie Robertson
You know what I'm saying?
Jase Robertson
I just thought she was about to be, like, ordered refrigerator, had that hooked up, put the dishwasher in.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, she got the dolly out, put it in the house, you know, But.
Martin
But you are. As long as you provide.
Bella Robertson
I installed the b. Can someone give me credit for that?
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Hey, I'm cleaner for it. Let's just say I'm cleaner for it.
Jase Robertson
Well, you both are.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, but the thing is, it's shared.
Jase Robertson
I mean, well, I mean, I. I've never been a part of a home where the wife knew how to do anything like that.
Martin
Hey, it's a give and take.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, and it's.
Martin
It's a. Hey, you use your strong points, and if I have any, I'll try to use mine.
Si Robertson
Brittany does a lot of that stuff at the house. Yeah, like hanging stuff and all that.
Jase Robertson
I'll tell her to go, hey, it.
Martin
Should be that way, because, hey, that's your domain.
Si Robertson
Well, she was raised.
Willie Robertson
That is your call.
Si Robertson
Her dad and granddad are both like shade tree carpenters. So, like, squares and all that stuff. Make me, you know, I'm Phil Robertson. Nothing in Nature Square. I mean, you know, which also just means you're a poor carpenter. So I stay out of that realm. But not. I mean, I could install a bidet. I fixed toilets, fixed our air conditioner. Like, there's plumbing.
Jase Robertson
Doesn't scare me. Electricity is terrifying.
Si Robertson
But, yeah, putting stuff on a wall, 0 out of 10 chance I get it the right height or straight. So.
Jase Robertson
I got a stop box right here, Martin.
Si Robertson
What's in it?
Jase Robertson
My keys.
Si Robertson
You better get.
Jase Robertson
And if I was in a need of a quick getaway, but I didn't want anybody else to have my keys.
Si Robertson
Yeah, there you go.
Jase Robertson
And they're open.
Si Robertson
Hey, you can put anything you want in your stop box Pro. If you own a handgun, your storage likely fits into one or two frustrating categories. It's either locked away, which is great because it's safe and out of reach, but in an emergency, it's locked away.
Jase Robertson
Have you ever had a bad guy and you looked at him and said, hey, can you give me a couple of minutes while I go do a combination line?
Si Robertson
Stand right there. I'll be right back. Or even worse, is unsecured. And then you got toddlers running around your house, and next thing you know, be doing that.

Martin
What quirk does he have that drives you nuts?
Si Robertson
Okay.
Jase Robertson
Look at it.
Martin
And then vice versa.
Bella Robertson
Well, I think this is what we've talked about. It's the fan.
Jase Robertson
That's it.
Bella Robertson
Like, it's the thing.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
If they didn't figure out how to work this fan out, we wouldn't be here. Right?
Si Robertson
For her, it's the fan. And for him, it's sink full of dishes. Right?
Martin
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Ain't that the two things that drive y' all said?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, probably.
Si Robertson
So, yeah. He washes the dishes. Yep, he washes the dishes. And she does all the carpentry.
Martin
Someone was. Oh, no, you don't.
Bella Robertson
I. I cook.
Jase Robertson
I have a question for you, Bella.
Bella Robertson
No, no, it's a good combo.
Si Robertson
Amen.
Martin
Whatever. Look, whatever. You know, don't let nobody tell you what to do in your home.
Si Robertson
Hey, Bella was cooking last night. I FaceTimed her because the boys wanted.
Martin
To say, whatever works for you, too.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
That's all that matters.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Has he ever backed up?
Martin
You go jump in the lake?
Bella Robertson
Not mine, just everybody else's.
Willie Robertson
Just my friend. Twice.
Jase Robertson
Okay, I got the truth of that. By the way, friend's a good customer. Zach. Shout out, Zach. He said he didn't tell the truth.
Willie Robertson
What did he say?
Jase Robertson
He said that he walked in and said, hey, I'm parked behind you. Don't back into me on the second time. And then you went.
Willie Robertson
I don't know if he's stretching that. I have no recollection.
Martin
Well, hey, I will use a Phil Robertson deal here. He was terrible at that.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Hey.
Martin
Okay. Yo. So he would tell you, don't park behind me. If you did, you're risking getting your vehicle run over.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Bella Robertson
That is why I have never gotten, you know, our hit, because I always park in front of you.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah. Larry, let's. I'm gonna one up myself here for a second. Since we've been roasting myself a little bit.
Bella Robertson
We haven't been roasting.
Willie Robertson
Who puts the gas in your car?
Bella Robertson
You.
Willie Robertson
Since we've been married.
Jase Robertson
Wait, you don't know how to. You don't. No, I know.
Bella Robertson
Text him. Any gas today? Meet me.
Willie Robertson
I'm saying.
Si Robertson
Oh, wait. This is a meet up situation.
Bella Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Oh, Allison, if you were listening. No chance, homegirl. You slide that.
Willie Robertson
It's just an old school thing. I just can.
Bella Robertson
But he just does it.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
My wife told me about a guy that did that for his wife, and I said, you should have married him.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Should have gave that one a whirl. Yeah, Sorry. I'm all about equal treatment of men and women. Pump you on gas, and I only.
Bella Robertson
Go, take us out of town. I'll fill it up every time. It's just that he offers and he likes to.
Jase Robertson
I like that. That's a sweet little.
Willie Robertson
Tonight.
Bella Robertson
If he can't, he's like, no, I'm. I'm kind of far. I'll be like, okay, I'll do it. But he just does it.
Si Robertson
So when you pump gas, do you go till it shuts off, or do you stop on zeros?
Willie Robertson
And I go to a shuts off.
Jase Robertson
I go to 20 bucks. And then I get so bored.
Willie Robertson
Well, what I'll do is you need.
Bella Robertson
To call Jacob to come do it.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I'll come talk to you, too. I'll just talk.
Jase Robertson
That would make it where I could fill it up.
Bella Robertson
Jacob comes and does it, and he comes to my window.
Martin
I've got to run it up till it's. It's even.
Si Robertson
I have to do an even dollar amount. I'm.
Martin
Same way. Same way.
Si Robertson
It shuts off, and then I go to the next dollar.
Martin
If it's 1150. I gotta run 10.
Willie Robertson
I. I used to do that. The gas comes back on me, so I just stopped doing that.
Si Robertson
Well, you got to let it breathe for a minute. You got to let the bubble settle down. You got pull it out, let it breathe.
Jase Robertson
And then you thought we were going to gas. Well, I do fill up now, though, because I'm an adult, but I'm also just trying to see how long I can go without getting gas. Current record, 31 days.
Si Robertson
Yeah, you fill up once a month.
Martin
So I knew a guy that just.
Bella Robertson
I do run it till the last.
Martin
He always run his pickup. Every time it was just. It was fixed to go out of gas.
Si Robertson
Yeah, he went through a lot of fuel pumps.
Martin
That was just him.
Bella Robertson
Yeah, I do that.
Martin
I said, hey. He said, I run out of gas the other day, and I said, it's no wonder. I said, you drive it forever, it's gonna run out, son. And you don't ever fill it up. Give me five dollars worth. Or give me six, seven, ten dollars.
Jase Robertson
I'll get you where you need to.
Willie Robertson
Give me two gallons, boy.
Martin
Yeah. Yeah. I could understand it when we didn't have no money.
Willie Robertson
Right.
Martin
Well, I pulled up, now you give me 50 cents worth. That's all I had.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
But, you know, these days. Come on.
Willie Robertson
5.
Si Robertson
5.
Martin
16 of a gallon down the street.
Si Robertson
You spill 50 cents of gas whenever you take the nozzle off.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. Anyways, y' all are on a big TV show now.
Si Robertson
Yeah. What's it like, Jacob? You weren't around for DD version one, the Duck Dynasty version.
Jase Robertson
You weren't.
Willie Robertson
Were.
Si Robertson
No.
Jase Robertson
I really got to think about that the other day.
Si Robertson
Bella was, like, 8, and I was.
Jase Robertson
Like, man, that was long ago.
Martin
Well, see, I've asked. I. What do you think's gonna be a good. The fans are gonna enjoy it.
Bella Robertson
I hope so.
Jase Robertson
I wouldn't know. He didn't watch the first episode.
Martin
No, no. I talk about it a lot, though.
Willie Robertson
You haven't watched it, but you talk about it. Is it imagination?
Martin
No, no, it's good.
Willie Robertson
Okay.
Bella Robertson
He knows.
Martin
I told him. I said, well, I said, look, y' all need to check out the Duck Dynasty new revival. Because I said, in my humble opinion, I think it's gonna be fantastic.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
There's so many characters to choose from, who you can like.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
And I. And I said. And I have to say, I was surprised. There's a lot of talent there.
Jase Robertson
It's the most Jace compliment to, you.
Martin
Know, change, you know, to check for it.
Jase Robertson
I mean, I couldn't believe it.
Bella Robertson
Uncle said that's a compliment.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I'll take it.
Martin
Oh, no, I'm serious.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Okay. I'm gonna ask, who are you most surprised by?
Jase Robertson
Yeah, he's shocked that some of y' all have talent.
Si Robertson
Well, I'm gonna ask. Yeah, go ahead.
Martin
Well, I'm not gonna. An.
Si Robertson
They can't hate. They can't hate you. You're their own thing.
Martin
No, I think they have a lot of. A lot. It's a lot of potential.
Si Robertson
Okay, well, then who's got the least amount? Well, if you won't tell me who's got the most, who's got the least.
Martin
I ain't gonna tell you that either.
Si Robertson
Well, then who's your.
Bella Robertson
Who's your favorite character on the new show? Who's your favorite character on the new.
Si Robertson
Himself. I love Psy.
Martin
I love me.
Jase Robertson
I love side, too.
Martin
No, I'm just saying I'm looking forward to see what the fans say, because there's no doubt in my mind they gonna love it.
Si Robertson
Yeah, you gonna be scrolling all over Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, huh?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I think it'll do.
Martin
Well, it's actually good, y' all. And like, my hat, I will say this. My hat's off to two. Okay. That's him and Christian.
Si Robertson
Him and Christian.
Martin
Look. Cause they put up with so much bull for me, and they do it very good.
Si Robertson
Christian got got again today.
Martin
And they do it very good. Because I'm surprised. They shock me that they do take it so well.
Si Robertson
Yeah, well, today you said he has zero brains, so we'll see.
Martin
Well, no, no, because, hey, it goes on. On and on.
Willie Robertson
It does. Yeah.
Si Robertson
I think I said it's a good thing he got muscles.
Martin
Oh, no, no, no, no. This one here, he's like a junkyard dog. You rattled his cage.
Si Robertson
That's that Balkan village.
Martin
Yeah, he's gonna rattle back.
Si Robertson
That's what happens when you.
Willie Robertson
I shake the cage with you.
Martin
No, no, no, no. And I. You know, and that's why I said, it's gonna be great when you get caught.
Bella Robertson
I can't wait in a few weeks when they see the Chicken Coop episode.
Martin
No, no, no, no. Cause I felt so bad doing that. I really did. Cause they just kept saying, oh, hey, no, you gotta get on them first.
Willie Robertson
You know, it was. Yeah, I think it'll be good. And I think based off, like, the first episode, it'll really open up, like.
Martin
As the season it started. And it's a good thing, right? Yeah, it started out on the first episode. Kind of slow, right?
Willie Robertson
Exactly.
Martin
But trust me when I tell you.
Si Robertson
This man acting like he was.
Willie Robertson
He didn't watch it.
Martin
He hasn't. I just. When it was filmed, I watched it.
Willie Robertson
Oh, okay.
Martin
Because I'm involved in.
Jase Robertson
He is the greatest television person. He didn't even watch it. And he knows.
Willie Robertson
He's the producer. I forgot he's producing.
Martin
Started out slow, but trust me when I tell you, okay, The. The trains picks up speed and every once in a while it drums Check.
Jase Robertson
I have no idea what happened.
Bella Robertson
Well, you know, a lot of people after the first night were commenting. Not a lot of people. Maybe like 10 people. But people were saying that I was Scrooge and rude and whatever. And it made me think about the day when we were doing a certain scene. I would leave that till they find out. But remember, Uncle Si was telling me and you. We were. We were the Scrooges.
Jase Robertson
You also love you.
Martin
Hold on. Hey, everybody's part.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
Okay. And hey, if. If it fits, wear it and wear it with a badge of honor. That would be the best Scrooge you can be. If it's just.
Jase Robertson
I will be.
Bella Robertson
Thank you.
Willie Robertson
Best advice from Sigh. If it fits, wear it.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, that's true, y' all.
Willie Robertson
That's another political standpoint for S.
Martin
Okay. Because they go, they're gonna put up like when you was in class with your peers, they're going to put labels on you.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Martin
Okay. Now, you can either get mad about it or fight it or even fight over it.
Si Robertson
Or you can embrace it.
Martin
It's not going to go away. Or you can just wear it on.
Si Robertson
You can embrace it.
Martin
Yeah, embrace it.
Si Robertson
I mean, look at the finest example of that. Look at John Godwin. He's still riding ham sandwiches.
Martin
Ham sandwich.
Si Robertson
He still. Everybody, your hands still smell like taco meat. I'm so glad I didn't get his. Oh, man. Goblin was a real one on that deal.
Jase Robertson
You know what? I'll tell you about Pure Talk. My wireless company, a veteran led company, believes every man and woman who has faithfully served this country deserves to proudly fly an American flag that was actually made in America.
Si Robertson
How can you not agree with that?
Jase Robertson
Cy agrees with that so much, he put it red, white and blue shingles on his roof because he's a proud veteran. We support proud veterans and. And that's why we love Pure Talk because they're on a mission to give an allegiance flag, the highest quality American flag to 1,000 U.S. veterans in time for Flag Day and the U.S. army's birthday. Supporting this great cause is super Easy. Just switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk this month and a portion of every sale they make will go towards providing these high quality flags to deserving veterans. And here's. Here's the kicker why it's a win, win, win. With plans from just $25 a month for unlimited talk, unlimited text, and plenty of data to, you can enjoy America's most dependable 5G network while cutting your cell phone bill in half.
Si Robertson
Cut it, baby.
Jase Robertson
The average family saves over $1,000 a year. I don't know if you know this. That's a lot of money.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Ain't nobody mad. Somebody walk up to you at the end of the year and hand you a grand. Nobody's mad.
Jase Robertson
I would be so excited. Switching super easy. I did it took 10 minutes, kept my same phone number that I've had since I was like 14. So I liked that. I said, I'm in on that. And they're always helping out veterans. This is just one other cause that they're doing right now. So if you want to get involved in that, just go to PureTalk.com duck to switch hassle free in as little as 10 minutes. Again, that's PureTalk.com duck to support veterans and to switch to America's wireless company, PureTalk.
Si Robertson
Oh, but so, Jacob, your first experience, I remember when we first did it. Have you had any, like, phone calls from people that you haven't talked to in 10 years or so?
Willie Robertson
Definitely.
Si Robertson
That all of a sudden saw like, hey man, what's up?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I'm definitely, yeah, hey, what's up? Or like, congrats or can't believe you made it. I was like, I guess. So here we are.
Si Robertson
You've made it. Well, that ain't the only thing, you know. Yeah.
Jase Robertson
I got something else to talk to him about.
Martin
Here's the deal. A lot of people can't do it.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, sure.
Martin
I mean, really, it's just, it's something about, you know, a camera is just, you know, it's. It's like pointing a gun at them.
Willie Robertson
Right. No, it's really freeze up, you know. Yeah.
Martin
For some. Okay.
Willie Robertson
Just you point out a gun at them and they go crazy.
Martin
They don't even know it's there.
Bella Robertson
Yeah, I see you.
Jase Robertson
He blast.
Martin
No, no, because I don't. I don't even see him anymore.
Jase Robertson
I will say I.
Si Robertson
And here's why that is not.
Martin
I'm always.
Si Robertson
No, that's not true. You see them. You see, because when you see them, you. You turn it up. I said, don't Even say you don't see we brought. Quit that you. I'm going to call you out on that one, old man.
Jase Robertson
Like, I met this girl named Kelsey.
Martin
Correct. Okay, I do see him.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
And I guess deep down in it's that meme though.
Si Robertson
It's like, let's go.
Jase Robertson
He's going to give it to.
Si Robertson
He's the meme you see on the Internet.
Martin
I'm almost talking about. Okay. You can brighten the lights when that.
Si Robertson
Camera goes on size. I says, let's get started up. Let's get this bread.
Jase Robertson
You were here when our friend Kelsey came in.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
And so I said, look, he's going to be tired. He's been filming so probably just get a quick picture and be on our way. And she sat there and I was like, yeah, he's tired. Sorry. And then she asked the right question.
Si Robertson
Yeah, 23 minute sermon sitting right there.
Jase Robertson
And then her dad pulled out a phone and started recording it and sigh. I looked at his phone. When you were done, you talked to that girl for 23 straight minutes.
Si Robertson
Yeah, 23.
Jase Robertson
And just gave it everything you had. And when they left, I said, yeah, he's really like that. By the way. That's just him.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Oh, by the way. Yeah. But she was leaving for boot camp and so that was a really cool experience for her. She's going to serve our country, so that's awesome, man. She got a once in a lifetime deal there. The.
Jase Robertson
No, but people freeze up on camera.
Si Robertson
Because they don't know what to do. Because that, because just like I said, they get self conscious.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. It's a. And all of a sudden a self conscious.
Si Robertson
What am I going to sound like? What am I going to look like? The embracing part is who cares? But at the end of the day, who cares?
Martin
Well, hey.
Si Robertson
And then there's also the people that try to get in front of it, but they're terrible on it. And you're like, maybe you should be a little more self conscious. Like slide over there.
Willie Robertson
But I think you can get over it. Like if you.
Si Robertson
Oh yeah, you just got a picture of naked.
Willie Robertson
No, I'm just.
Bella Robertson
Thank you.
Willie Robertson
I'm doing the camera. Like if you're scared of it at first, I think over time you can get used to it.
Jase Robertson
Oh yeah.
Willie Robertson
But not everybody. I'm just saying for some people you can.
Martin
But that, that says something though, for you.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
Okay. That it, it, you know, you just, you're kind of. You don't even really. You don't care one way or the other.
Willie Robertson
Right.
Martin
It's on me.
Si Robertson
No, that's why I like Jacob, because he don't.
Jase Robertson
Jacob's got just enough don't give a crap in him. He works well to really work out on camera.
Si Robertson
He works well with me, especially hunting wise. I'm like, yeah, come on, you can go with me. That ain't no problem. Because we don't care.
Willie Robertson
I don't.
Si Robertson
Who cares? You flare them. Who cares? There'll be some more here in a minute. Who cares? Ain't no big deal. Like, I do care. If I get over the decoys and you don't kill them. I do care about that.
Martin
Oh, yeah. But, yeah, then we. Then we got a problem.
Willie Robertson
Then we have an issue.
Si Robertson
But other than that, this is.
Martin
I swing. We got them in close, right? So we can get them on camera dying.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, get them in there tight.
Si Robertson
But y' all got a lot of news. So we got general vintage storefront for retail. How's that going?
Willie Robertson
It's good, man. Learning how to manage employees and learning what works in store and E commerce and the difference. Have you had a mesh in it?
Si Robertson
Have you had a customer bigger than Brittany yet?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I have.
Si Robertson
We went to the grand opening. Brittany starts taking the decorations off the wall. He puts the expensive shirts. He's like, ain't nobody going to buy this. There goes Britney going shopping on the wall instead on the rack.
Willie Robertson
I'm like, you want something funny? I don't.
Si Robertson
Like.
Willie Robertson
I don't know if I told you this, but when she said she wanted that shirt, I Knew it was 1:25 in my head. And she's, like, asked about it to get it down. I made my employee get it down because I didn't want, like, her to be sad when she saw the price on it, but she ended up getting it anyway.
Si Robertson
So, hey, look, if I could spend money to support my people doing their thing, sure, Absolutely. I mean, I got a John Chris T shirt over there for. For the same reason.
Jase Robertson
That was $35.
Si Robertson
That was 35, but it was new.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, this wasn't collectible, but I bought.
Si Robertson
I bought me one. I bought Brittany one at the time. I bought Allison one. Then she slid a Venmo back to me, but I wasn't expecting that either. But, like, when you get the chance to support your friends and quasi family, do it. Who cares? Like, I'm not going to go in there and ask for a discount.
Jase Robertson
Did you just call yourself Quasi Bella's family, by the way?
Si Robertson
Well, I did, in fact, help raise.
Willie Robertson
Your hand because I have a Few.
Jase Robertson
Photos here of you at Take your daughter to school.
Martin
School day.
Si Robertson
That's what I'm talking about.
Bella Robertson
See, that's my girl 8th birthday.
Jase Robertson
That's your girl 8th birthday. That looks like it's at school.
Bella Robertson
It was Martin and my dad and Godwin and Jordan Summit came and picked all of me and my friends up in the rv wrapped with.
Willie Robertson
Look at that shirt. That shirt's awesome. Flames with duck commander.
Jase Robertson
It was 15 back in the day. Now you can sell it for 40.
Bella Robertson
They picked us all up from school and drove us out to a horse camp.
Si Robertson
Yep, we sure did that.
Martin
I always remember you saying, I. I gotta go.
Si Robertson
I gotta go get Bella.
Martin
Yeah, I gotta go get.
Si Robertson
Look at that.
Willie Robertson
That's Martin. The Godfather.
Si Robertson
My favorite.
Bella Robertson
That's Martin's birthday.
Si Robertson
Yeah, that's my birthday. So I. I don't even know what birthday that would have been.
Willie Robertson
Bella, like, she grew up in Balille.
Si Robertson
My favorite house.
Jase Robertson
She was the ragamuffin of a certain street I grew up on.
Si Robertson
Let me just say this is pre Duck Dynasty so she could get them teeth fixed.
Bella Robertson
Yeah, them teeth were terrible.
Jase Robertson
Be over there just asking for Dr. Pepper for Christmas, that is.
Bella Robertson
And guess who got it for me. Your mom. My mom finds funny Dr. Pepper for Christmas. And Dana said I'll come through.
Willie Robertson
Low maintenance kid.
Bella Robertson
My mom got me a 12 pack and Jadis got me two. Two liters.
Si Robertson
Uhhuh.
Willie Robertson
What a Christmas.
Bella Robertson
Ask my favorite, like, easy.
Jase Robertson
Done.
Si Robertson
Why did you refuse to walk? Cuz every picture of us from back then is always me holding you. That's my. She never bo anywhere.
Bella Robertson
I was the baby.
Willie Robertson
She was attached to your hip.
Si Robertson
She was. I. And I'm a better man for it. It was kind of like getting a start at parenthood without having the child. I got to leave every night or most nights. I did sleep on their couch, you know. Yeah.
Bella Robertson
That was in your hair.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Bows, makeup. I didn't care. Y' all do whatever you and me and Aslan do whatever y' all got to do to me. I don't care. I was just. I was.
Jase Robertson
I was along for the ride.
Si Robertson
I was the potter's clay man.
Jase Robertson
You honestly were just trying to earn that Ode to Pork later that night.
Si Robertson
I really was just waiting dinner. Yeah.
Bella Robertson
My mom has, like hundreds of pictures that I took of you of just like the back of your hair with, like, bows all in it, braids down the back that I took.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Bella Robertson
Pictures of my creations in your hair.
Si Robertson
I could care less, man. I was having the time of my life. And you know what else? I was poor. Like, I was making $21,000 a year working at Duck Commander. If I got a free lunch or a free bill, you bet you, buddy.
Willie Robertson
Take it.
Si Robertson
I'd stick around.
Jase Robertson
You were paid well. Compared to most of us at 21 grand. I'm joking.
Si Robertson
I was about to say time out now. Like, you didn't even have to drive to Las Vegas, so I don't want to hear that.
Jase Robertson
I wasn't ever gonna do that.
Si Robertson
Yeah. That's what I had to do.
Jase Robertson
I was hanging with Willie.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Not getting any more money.
Si Robertson
No.
Jase Robertson
But the ride a little easier.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Bella Robertson
Or drive to OCS just to pick me up for Chick Fil A.
Si Robertson
Or check her out. Yeah, I've.
Jase Robertson
I've. I've made that ride. Thank you. Once. Once Martin graduated to TV here, I slipped in. Except I had the great esteem of having to pick up Will all the time.
Si Robertson
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. It was just Bella was the only one. For some reason. I was on the school checkout list, and there I'd go, thinking it was sanctioned. Nobody really cared.
Jase Robertson
You actually win. Because I had to deal with them when they were, like, 16.
Si Robertson
Yeah. When they could talk back.
Jase Robertson
No, when they would just pop tires all over the place.
Si Robertson
She did that.
Willie Robertson
She's popped 11 in one year.
Si Robertson
She.
Bella Robertson
That was that first year. They were there.
Si Robertson
Yeah, we were there.
Jase Robertson
I was the. I was the pickup. And the. I just had a child. Ben's was born, and I was at the hospital and was like, hey, Bella's over on Louisville. She ran her tire off the road, and I was like, just had a kid, man. All right, well, here we go. I actually have a picture of that.
Si Robertson
Oh, which one? There's good times.
Jase Robertson
Which one is the. That's a problem that you can ask that.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
I will say she hasn't.
Bella Robertson
I really don't know which one you're talking about.
Si Robertson
Well, she got. She now drives a vehicle with a little more tire, too. That first one. What was that?
Bella Robertson
I hated that car. But it always. I think it was prone to tire.
Si Robertson
Well, it had two inches of tire. There was no.
Jase Robertson
You were prone to running into stuff.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Curbs were optional in your book.
Bella Robertson
Well, to be fair, since I got a new car, I haven't popped any tires.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Only Jacob's having the racks now.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. In my driveway.
Jase Robertson
Look out for these people.
Willie Robertson
Don't even worry about the road. Just don't come. My driveway.
Si Robertson
Oh, man, that's so.
Martin
Don't park in his house.
Si Robertson
All right, look, there's one thing about being from the south that we all know and appreciate at this point of our lives. Tea, baby, it goes with everything. Goes with breakfast, goes with lunch, goes with dinner. And if you want the best tasting tea around, you go with sigh.
Martin
You go be your sweet tea.
Si Robertson
Yeah, you follow sigh. If you got any questions on tea and quality, you follow Silas, look, y' all sweet tea is the best tasting southern sweet tea around. And even though it's called y' all sweet tea, their tea isn't pre sweetened. So you can add as much or as left sugar as you like. So you want it like syrup. Knock yourself out. You don't want any in there. Knock yourself out. That's the fun part though. You control and you can control how dark your tea is by adjusting how long you let the tea steep. Longer steeping times can mean darker tea. So if you want to be able to read the newspaper through it, that's your prerogative. Do that. Let it steep for just a little bit. You can pour your glass of and read newspaper on the other side. Or if you're like us and you don't want to be able to read through it, let it sit there a little bit longer. And they offer a variety of flavored teas like Juicy watermelon, very raspberry, and size favorite, the Georgia peach. Baby. What's the best thing about that Georgia pizza?
Martin
When you bite into it, it just drifts to your beard.
Si Robertson
And that's the only thing you're going to be missing when you get your sweet tea, Georgia peach.
Martin
You ain't going to have any juice going through your beard. Ain't.
Si Robertson
And the best part of all this.
Jase Robertson
Right to your door.
Si Robertson
Ship straight to your door.
Jase Robertson
So easy. Even sigh. Has Philip do it.
Si Robertson
That's exactly right. And if Philip can do it, anybody can do it, right? Like y' all sweet tea is the best tea your taste buds have ever experienced. Get Yours today.

Martin
That's it.
Si Robertson
We're about halfway through, maybe a little longer, but I do want to and kind of keeping up with what we've been doing on the podcast since, since, since we. We lost this version of Phil, our earthly version of Phil. Bella is, is your papa Phil. What?
Willie Robertson
How.
Si Robertson
How was that? Because you were almost the baby grandchild like before the greats got started. What is me I. Just. A little bit younger than you.
Bella Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
Yeah, you're younger. So I guess you are the. Yeah, always. Well, they moved off to Texas for so long after I forgot. I forget that their age is a little bit lower than that, too. But out of the ones that stayed here, how. How was it? As Phil, as your papa, your.
Bella Robertson
Your grandfather, he was the best, I think I have. I mean, he was the best for. Everyone Loved Pavel Phil. But I think my group of grandkids, he was so great because the older kids are, like, always talk about, you know, all the crazy things that they did and. And that all the things with, like, the wooden spoon and all that stuff, which. My generation was all girls. It was just me, Mia, Lily Merritt, all girls. The only thing, obviously, he still had the nap rule. Like, the only rule was don't wake him up from a nap. And we woke him up a few times, but there was no wooden spoon involved, at least for me.
Si Robertson
Yeah, he couldn't do it to the. Thankfully, he couldn't do it to the little grand girl.
Bella Robertson
But he was always the best. I mean, he was funny because I told Mama K this the other day because there's some pictures of me and Lily sitting in his lap in his chair, and Mama K was like, well, that's rare, because he didn't. He wasn't too fond of grandkids sitting in this chair. But he always did want us. We would come and see him right when we got there and sit in his lap for, like, five minutes, and he'd be like, all right, get out of here.
Si Robertson
I remember that because we were. We were working down there. And I always remember when y' all would come in, he'd say, come on over here, little girls. Come on over here, my little grand.
Bella Robertson
Girls, for, like, five minutes. And then we would get annoying.
Martin
He was not your typical grandpa.
Si Robertson
No. He'd say, come over here, little grand girls. And about three minutes later, he's like, all right, now y' all go in the playroom. Get back. Get back here in the back.
Bella Robertson
But me and mom talked about this, too. And I feel the same way about Uncle Psy, but we do, I feel like, have very special memories with our grandpa and with Uncle Psy. Because we were filming, we got to do a lot of fun things together. Like when we went to the land with you guys and did the what it was, like, brush.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
They took a chainsaw to a playhouse. Yeah, that was with all y' all in it.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Bella Robertson
We did a lot of fun things. So that's Interesting filming with Powell Phil. We had so many fun memories going to Hawaii and all those different things we got to do.
Si Robertson
Now. Traveling with Phil was never. Was never boring, like.
Bella Robertson
And his cooking always was my favorite.
Si Robertson
Two weeks in Scotland with that, ma' am, was quite a time to be alive. All right, Jacob, now it's your turn. You're relatively new in the whole thing. So your. Your. Your memories of papa. Did you call him papa or did you just call him Phil?
Willie Robertson
It just depends. Depending on the situation.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
And assess it out.
Si Robertson
Depending on. Depending on what you had done.
Willie Robertson
I usually just call him Phil, though.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
If I was talking to Bella, I'd say, pep off, Phil. Okay, I'll call K. Ma' am. Okay. So.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
But no, I have some funny memories, I guess. Two of them are, like, the first time I worked at the land with Jay Stone, I'd been around Phil a few times, but y' all know Phil doesn't always remember you right when he meets you. He sees so many people all the time. So he hadn't fully known who I was at this moment. But we were coming back off the land, and me and Jay were working on the tractor, and he was at this May hall tree. He says, come here, boy. I'm like, yes, sir. He's like, get up in that tractor in the bed. On the bed and lift you up. Shake that tree for me. We're gonna get all these berries down. So they put me up in the May hall, like, in the tractor bed and lifted me up there, and I shook the mayhaw tree. And that's like, a memory. I'll always remember getting those mayhol berries. And then the other time was, I was working on the land with Jay, and he called me. This is like, to go back there the next day. Well, supposedly, Phil would go out there and work with Dan. And whenever he got done working with Dan, he wouldn't say nothing. He'd just leave. And Dan would be left back there. Who knows, a mile. Mile and a half or half a mile back there and have to walk back, like, to the lair. And so Jay was like, will you please go out there? They're gonna blow a beaver dam and just go ride with Phil, help him. And then when Phil leaves, take the Argo back and go pick up Dan. I was like, okay, I'll do it. And so we go out there, and this is probably three years ago. So Bill was probably 76, 75 at this time.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
In Sanuks. And just regular, like, dry fit pants. He gets out there in the middle of the bayou with the chainsaw and his cranks, that joker. And starts going to town on this, like, cutting this limb and this tree that we're trying to move for a beaver damage. And Dan is in the middle, like, on the side with a track hoe, like, pulling the beaver dam off. And I'm sitting there helping. There's a snake at Phil's feet. And he. I'm talking about. I'm directly in line with Phil, and I have a.22. And he's like, just shoot it. Just shoot it. Like, he's sitting there with a chainsaw going, like, I'm in line with him. Obviously, I'm shooting down. But he's like, I just shoot it. I was like, just shoot this snake at his feet. He's like, all right, good. And he just keeps going. I'm talking about he's in hip deep water with chinooks on.
Si Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Willie Robertson
With a chainsaw at 76 years old, sawing down in the middle of this bayou. And just asked me to shoot this snake directly in line with him with a.22 rifle. And he's never seen me shoot a gun, which is totally fine. I was capable. But hey, that's just something normal for him, which is hilarious.
Jase Robertson
He's been different.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
And then just got in the Argo and left. Dan ever told him we were leaving, you know, and we just dip out after he gets done, and then I just take the Argo back out there and pick up Dan. That was it.
Si Robertson
Yeah. All that. Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Sounds just like some funny stories.
Martin
Snakes didn't bother him?
Willie Robertson
No, they didn't at all.
Martin
Okay. I've seen him step by so many that I mean, literally, his foot's here, the snake's head's right here. And all the snake does is just open. And all you can see is white.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
He lifts it and goes on. Snake closes his mouth.
Willie Robertson
You were telling us that story the other day when he asked Jan to go get him some water. And he told her she. Remember that snake bitter. When he went to go get her some water. Water. Or he. She went to get him water, and he's like, oh, you're gonna die. You remember he said that story that Jay would. To get Martin. He just told her she was like 6 years old.
Bella Robertson
I think that was Zach.
Willie Robertson
Who told you it was Zach. He was telling us that story, and he was like. He looked at jan. She's like 6 years old. He's like, well, you're gonna die.
Martin
Yeah, well, no, no, because we was playing hide and go see.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
And we had a drain where Mama drained washed dishes. It was wet out there, right? Well, we had run through there playing. She run through there and she come back, and I said, I just got snake bit. Well, Mama look. Looked on her calf, and you just seen one. Like, it looked like a stick, right? I said, no. I said, it'd be two holes if it's a snake. Well, hey, about an hour later, we look. Yeah, you could see it clearly. Yo. And that's what Phil said when he walked up. He said, well, you're going to die, Jim.
Si Robertson
Well, think about being six years old.
Willie Robertson
And your brother's like, you're going to die.
Martin
Hey, what's funny about this is, though, as many times as I've watched him step just on them, around them, Dan was the only one in the Robinson family that ever got bit.
Willie Robertson
That's crazy.
Martin
Got bit?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, it's crazy.
Bella Robertson
You gotta tell what he would say to you every single time he saw you. And Momoko would be like, phil, that's Bella's husband, Jacob. And he'd be like, oh.
Willie Robertson
Oh. He. Well, what do you mean? What did he used to say?
Bella Robertson
She's still cooking for you.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah. He'd be like, we'd be going duck hunting. And he'd be like, well, she's still cooking for you. I was like, yes, sir. And he's like, that's the best trait a woman could ever had. And then he'll go, now who are you married to again? And like, oh, Bella. He's like, oh, I love Bella.
Si Robertson
Oh, man.
Willie Robertson
But it was like, every time, like, she's still cooking.
Bella Robertson
And he says. He would say it to me every single time, too. You still cooking for. For him? Yes, sir. Good. That's good.
Si Robertson
There you go.
Jase Robertson
It's wisdom.
Si Robertson
Hey, I can appreciate all those.
Willie Robertson
Hey, I appreciate it, too.
Martin
I'm surprised he didn't nickname me.
Willie Robertson
I think he might have at one point. I can't remember.
Bella Robertson
My dad took that.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, Willie, definitely did that butt cut on you?
Jase Robertson
It hadn't been.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, Thunder thighs, butt cut. I can't remember. It's some other one.
Bella Robertson
Welcome, Mike.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah. I mean, he calls me a Balcom.
Si Robertson
Well, did you fit? Yeah. What should I say?
Bella Robertson
If it fits, wear it.
Si Robertson
It's weird.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I'm wearing it. Boys, I'm gonna order some new clothes tonight and just wear it.
Si Robertson
No, you're not. You order new clothes. You order old clothes. That's terrible for your business model. You can't wear new clothes. What are you doing Jacob.
Willie Robertson
Hey.
Si Robertson
Oh, man.
Willie Robertson
It's new to me, you know what I'm saying?
Si Robertson
All right, Summertime is here. So look, a lot of y' all at home with the kids, they're driving you nuts. You, you're having to run them to baseball, to this to swim into all the things. And you know what? You always forget about eating well. Eating well.
Jase Robertson
You end up just going through some drive through and shoving your face full.
Si Robertson
Of some processed, which is, by the way, is expensive.
Jase Robertson
Very expensive.
Si Robertson

What'd you think of the second episode, Jacob? Do you know what, you know what I'm talking about here?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jase Robertson
What's the second episode?
Willie Robertson
A little pickleball scene.
Si Robertson
We just. They play pickleball.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Daddy daycare.
Si Robertson
Daddy daycare.
Willie Robertson
And then what else? Y' all was playing mahjong or something?
Bella Robertson
Yeah, that's barely in it, but yeah.
Si Robertson
So how was. Who. Who. What. What are. What's your opinions on. On Christian, like, playing sports against him? Where are you. Where you. Where are you landing that? I know y' all are both uber competitive. Do you keep a tally of, like, wins versus losses or.
Willie Robertson
I definitely keep receipts. You know, if he ever, you know, wants to talk crazy or something, I definitely have my receipts. But it really just depends on the day if I want to win fair and square, which I do lose sometimes. I'm not saying I win every time, but even if I do lose, I always have a good time because I can always do a little provoking.
Jase Robertson
You know, Jacob's not afraid to lose the other one.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Bella Robertson
Already aired, so you can say that you won.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. So, like, beating him in pickleball, I mean, I pretty positive that was gonna happen. But ragging him the whole time was fun too, because at first it was just filming, but then about halfway through, the cameras are gone in his head, and I got under skin a little bit.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
So it was. It was pretty funny.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
But it was all love. I mean, it was good. He got to jump in the pond with his shirt off. Called him a loser in front of his family. I mean.
Jase Robertson
Call him a loser in front of his family. Over.
Willie Robertson
I like to. I remember that how they cut it. Like, if I can remember correctly, honey's like there. And they're like, cheer for your daddy.
Jase Robertson
And I was like, yeah, cheer for a loser.
Si Robertson
I love it, man. I love the competitiveness of y' all.
Willie Robertson
Oh, dude, my favorite thing we did.
Si Robertson
Because you'll eventually get to a point in your life where you don't care about that kind of.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
So while you do care, embrace it, man.
Willie Robertson
For sure.
Si Robertson
Especially when you're the good trash talker. Like Johnny D. John D. Is a world class trash.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Si Robertson
He's always around till the meat gets to popping. Oh, yeah.
Jase Robertson
I disappear.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Then he's gone.
Jase Robertson
I'm there to start a fight, not.
Bella Robertson
To play pickleball together.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. And Jacob's going to beat me every time.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
He was around Al too much then.
Jase Robertson
Who, me?
Martin
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
Well, you instigated out. Then back off and watch the fun.
Si Robertson
Yeah. Watch everybody fight.
Martin
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Sometimes that's fun place to be, too.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
I won't.
Bella Robertson
Jacob stirs the pot.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I like to stir the pot sometime. It's just fun, you know, you sit back drinking Like a topo chica or something. Just instigating the pot, you know.
Jase Robertson
Dropped a top on him.
Bella Robertson
This is what Jacob likes to do. Sometimes he'll just, like, bother me and bother me and bother me and bother me about something, like, make fun of.
Jase Robertson
Me for something not gonna change.
Bella Robertson
And then the second I'm like, jacob, stop. What did I do?
Martin
Well, it ain't no fun if it don't bother me.
Bella Robertson
I was like, John David the other day.
Martin
What did I do?
Willie Robertson
Yeah, I heard about that at home. John David.
Martin
Oh, you got to be able to poke the bear and get him to growling.
Jase Robertson
Bella.
Martin
Anyway.
Jase Robertson
Bella. I'm obviously team Bella.
Bella Robertson
Who is the shot heard around the world.
Jase Robertson
How did that many people hear about it? Why?
Bella Robertson
Because.
Jase Robertson
Okay, people. So you pretty much talking about.
Si Robertson
She pretty much walked office to office around here.
Willie Robertson
She put it on Duck Commander Yik Yak.
Jase Robertson
I don't even know what that is.
Willie Robertson
It's like an anonymous post thing they have at colleges.
Jase Robertson
Anyway, I was messing with Bella because she is one of my favorite high school memories of all time. Her time in high school. Because it was so bizarre. And you'd sometimes show up to school, you'd sometimes just sleep the whole time. Call me.
Bella Robertson
I went to high school for one year.
Jase Robertson
Okay, there it is.
Si Robertson
That's what she was like, I'm just.
Jase Robertson
Gonna do it online.
Bella Robertson
And I did. And I graduated a year early, also with half my freshman year done.
Jase Robertson
And I. And I told you how that was way cooler than what, any year brothers.
Bella Robertson
That's not what you said.
Jase Robertson
That is exactly how I meant it to come out. No, what did I say?
Martin
It didn't come out.
Willie Robertson
Blast them.
Bella Robertson
John David said that I bought my degree.
Martin
Oh.
Bella Robertson
After I worked so hard for it.
Jase Robertson
After you and Martin worked so hard.
Bella Robertson
He says that was the sixth grade.
Jase Robertson
No Martin.
Bella Robertson
Okay?
Si Robertson
When we got Shelby.
Jase Robertson
Don't make me call Shelby the sixth grade.
Si Robertson
Here's what I'll say. You got a little behind on your senior year and had to catch up. I'm not. I don't disagree with that. I'm not disagreeing with that. I helped you in my office do some math.
Bella Robertson
Okay, but how's it for.
Si Robertson
I was a tutor now, there was one point. There was one point where you looked at me.
Bella Robertson
I did for a whole.
Si Robertson
There was one point where you looked at me kind of crazy. And I was just like, give me the computer. Let me do this. Get this over with. Like. But it was simple. It was nothing.
Jase Robertson
She's looking at one.
Si Robertson
But no, let me tell you why? Because being where I was and being where I am now, the stuff that they were asking her to do, there is zero chance she will ever have to do that again in her life. So, like, I already know how to do this. Let's get this over with. Because I don't want to teach you.
Bella Robertson
I'm saying you did it because Martin helped me one time. Doesn't mean my whole degree is.
Jase Robertson
It was a joke.
Si Robertson
I think it was probably a little bit of embellishment that maybe got taken a little too far, but, you know, thank you.
Jase Robertson
Wait, I did that?
Si Robertson
The embellishment? Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's okay.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, my bad.
Si Robertson
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm getting at. But, no, I mean, I wouldn't if I would have thought any of the math I was helping with on some of that stuff was like, you'll use this again. No, you're going to learn how to do it.
Jase Robertson
But I'm the king of the online.
Si Robertson
But A squared plus B squared equals C squared. Pythagorean theorem. You're not using this. Let me knock this out, get this over.
Jase Robertson
I think I'm to the point where I could tell the truth about my college and it wouldn't matter in life.
Si Robertson
What about college?
Willie Robertson
I think, technically, everyone bought their degree.
Si Robertson
I mean, yeah.
Willie Robertson
Certain standpoint, 100 you gotta pay to go to college whether you got a scholarship or not.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Somebody's paying for.
Si Robertson
Somebody paying for it. Yeah, that's exactly right.
Jase Robertson
I'm against college.
Si Robertson
Well, I. For some people, I got a finance.
Jase Robertson
Degree, so I could deal with that.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Is that the rim?
Jase Robertson
Two days after my daughter was born. But you blame the tire off.
Bella Robertson
No, I believe myself. I know what I did.
Willie Robertson
She knows what she did.
Martin
I don't look too bad about tires.
Willie Robertson
The rim looks bad.
Bella Robertson
What's not pictured is the other tire that's also the same way. And the undercarriage that had fallen off.
Willie Robertson
Oh. Who did you hit?
Jase Robertson
That's what we're worried about.
Bella Robertson
The median on foresight.
Willie Robertson
Don't go down foresight boys without thinking about the median.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Martin
Yeah. Because there's a lot of them.
Willie Robertson
That's what it'll do to a Volvo.
Si Robertson
Those great myrtles.
Jase Robertson
Classic.
Si Robertson
Well, Bella, Jacob, thank you all for joining us. This has been a lot of fun. We're going.
Jase Robertson
I was looking forward today for a while.
Si Robertson
It is fun. We've laughed, which is kind of why.
Jase Robertson
I poked the bear the other day. I was like, she's coming on. I gotta get her fired up, ready to fight.
Si Robertson
It's been really fun because the first time in a while, we've just laughed the whole time. Right?
Jase Robertson
Yeah.
Si Robertson
It feels like getting finally a Bible.
Jase Robertson
Verse to take us away from.
Si Robertson
I do. I'm just saying. But finally finding a sense of normalcy and all the things, you know.
Jase Robertson
And I. And that is what the Bible verse is kind of about out today. Because, you know, a lot of people are going under transition. No more than Ms. K. Yeah. And I. I don't know if I should tell the story or not, but I'm gonna tell it. I went down and talked to Ms. K last week, gave her a hug, and she said, mini me, she goes, when I'm ready to laugh again, I'm gonna come be on that podcast with you inside. And I said, you just say when.
Si Robertson
Spoiler alert. K stopped by here. When was that? Yesterday.
Martin
Really?
Si Robertson
Yeah, she stopped by here yesterday. Me and Bella went out. She didn't get out of the car, but. But she just held her hand out the wind. I just love being back out. I got my chauffeur Nan here driving me around. That's. Well, you know. Okay. Just. She living her best life, man.
Jase Robertson
Yeah. And I wanted. A lot of the questions I've seen in the emails and stuff have been, how's Ms. K? And so if you're wondering, that's how Ms. K is doing, you know, as good as anybody can be doing. And once again, shout out to Jay and Anna for everything they've done for K and Phil especially, Case, since Phil's been gone. And I just did this verse like two weeks ago, and Jeff was here.
Si Robertson
Good.
Jase Robertson
But it reigns truer today than it has did anytime.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
James 1:27. Religion 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're wondering how Ms. K is doing, she's got an army up here surrounding her led by Jay and Anna Stone. And we love her. And I really hope sometime soon we can try and figure out how to get her on here, because she's ready to laugh when she's ready to laugh.
Si Robertson
We're gonna laugh from what she. From what I saw yesterday, it won't be as long as maybe any of us had imagined. So she was back being K. She was just sitting there, but she was being K. She had that look on her face and. And all the things I think she.
Bella Robertson
Had just went and got her hair done.
Si Robertson
Yeah.
Jase Robertson
So keep her in your prayers. But that is your K update, which is probably because all the prayers that all y' all have been sending out, it's been unbelievable.
Si Robertson
Well, they certainly don't hurt, that's for sure.
Jase Robertson
Yeah, we're into them.
Si Robertson
Yeah. But we'll see y' all next time, right here in the duck call room. We're out.
Jase Robertson
Sam.
