Phil Robertson
And we're back. Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen.
Starbucks Advertiser
Buckle up for safety.
Phil Robertson
Look, as you know, we. We don't dabble in politics, and we're not going to today. Except for the fact that we have a future President of the United States with us.
Willie Robertson
Carter.
Phil Robertson
Carter. Owen is back with us. Carter. How you been, son?
Carter
It's been good.
Phil Robertson
That's awesome, man. Look, I do. I want to bring this up. Our fans are great, right? They send us all kinds of stuff. Lots of times. Snacks, all the things. But Carter got his first piece of fan mail the other day that I delivered to your dad. Did dad give you your fan mail, Carter?
Carter
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
You better say yes. Say it in the microphone so the people here.
Carter
Oh, he did?
Phil Robertson
Okay, good.
Starbucks Advertiser
Good job. From miss Brenda in Florida. She sent you a book, right? What was it about?
Carter
It was about what to do if you want to become president. And this is a special shout out to miss Brenda from Florida. I did not know. Probably from Miami, Orlando or Jacksonville. And thanks for the book.
Phil Robertson
How does he know that many cities in Florida?
Starbucks Advertiser
The boy knows the maps. He's been studying the electoral college since the kindergarten day.
Phil Robertson
Very important to win Florida if you're gonna win it.
Starbucks Advertiser
You can't win the presidency without winning Florida.
Phil Robertson
There you go. So you're starting off good, but like.
Carter
Alaska and like Texas and California got like a lot of votes.
Starbucks Advertiser
That's true. Did you say Alaska?
Carter
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
I don't know that that one's true.
Carter
I know. You should look it up.
Phil Robertson
I'll look it up.
Starbucks Advertiser
I got the computer.
Willie Robertson
Carter said, don't doubt me.
Phil Robertson
He said, don't doubt me.
Willie Robertson
No doubt.
Starbucks Advertiser
I'm going to say. I'm going to say. They got like four.
Phil Robertson
What? Alaska.
Starbucks Advertiser
Alaska.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
We're going down something I don't I don't know.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, Electoral college and all the things.
Starbucks Advertiser
I got three. Alaska's got three. We ain't got to worry about Alaska, but Alaska, we love you, but over.
Phil Robertson
Carter, Texas and Florida, you're going to need to win them.
Starbucks Advertiser
Going to need that.
Carter
Bigfoot was there to stop extract, destroying the valley and Bigfoot family.
Starbucks Advertiser
Wait, what?
Carter
I've watched this movie called Bigfoot Family. It's about this guy named. This is a guy who. Who's a scientist at, like, time out.
Starbucks Advertiser
Time out. You're bringing up some. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You're bringing up Bigfoot something else besides Duck Dynasty. Bigfoot. Is that what you're doing right now?
Carter
Yeah, Bigfoot. It wasn't exactly Bigfoot. It was actually Godwin.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. And Goblin was this man's henchmen that got hired.
Starbucks Advertiser
So.
Phil Robertson
So, you know, what'd you pay for the real one?
Willie Robertson
What?
Carter
I was just. I would just hired Randy. Randy, who was a level 18 Bigfoot hunter.
Starbucks Advertiser
Okay.
Carter
That's a pro.
Phil Robertson
Randy's a level 18 Bigfoot hunter. What did. What did you pay, Goblin to dress up as Bigfoot and scare all us with snack cake?
Willie Robertson
I know nothing about that.
Phil Robertson
You know nothing about it?
Willie Robertson
I don't know anything about that.
Phil Robertson
He's pleading the fifth, boys.
Starbucks Advertiser
Pleading the fifth.
Carter
Can we say it on camera? Can we just play that clip?
Starbucks Advertiser
I don't have that, son. I'm pretty good at this. I'm not good enough to just pull up clips from Duck Dynasty.
Phil Robertson
I love the fact that he's like, hey, Hunter, pull that clip up. So drop that real quick. He's been watching podcasts, getting ready for this. I like who you think we are, Cardith the Ovon. We ain't got that kind of.
Starbucks Advertiser
Who's that? Who's that dude on Joe Rogan?
Phil Robertson
Yeah, I don't know. It's not Hunter.
Starbucks Advertiser
He's better than Hunter that he gets paid more, too. To be fair, we're not Joe Rogan.
Phil Robertson
Oh. Or the Ovon or.
Carter
Whereas the real Bigfoot would have showed up if you didn't eat the beef jerky. You said you caught a Godwin instead of a Bigfoot.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah, I like Godwin more than Bigfoot, so win. Win.
Phil Robertson
Well, I will say, anytime you're baiting the trap with snacks, there's a pretty good chance a big person's gonna show up. Like Godwin.
Starbucks Advertiser
You like snacks?
Phil Robertson
What's your favorite snack, Carter?
Carter
I'd say probably.
Phil Robertson
Oh, deep greasy cup.
Carter
Let's say I like, like, like something that has salt and vinegar with it.
Phil Robertson
Salt and vinegar.
Starbucks Advertiser
Big salt and vinegar chip.
Phil Robertson
Big salt and vinegar guy. Well, I saw the other day, though, that you. You. You made the COVID of a pretty famous YouTuber's Instagram post, right?
Carter
Yeah. Ryan Trahan.
Phil Robertson
There you go.
Carter
I'm gonna pull up his picture right on the screen right now.
Starbucks Advertiser
Actually, I might. I can probably pull that one.
Willie Robertson
Maybe you could pull that one since I.
Phil Robertson
Okay. So what did you think about Mr. Trahan's candy?
Carter
It's pretty good. I like how it has no sugar, no. No fake chemicals in it, and it makes you feel good after you eat it.
Phil Robertson
It made you feel good.
Carter
And he's on it. And he actually won the world record.
Phil Robertson
Did he?
Starbucks Advertiser
Ryan Trahan has somehow got an army of children selling candy for him, and I respect it.
Carter
Yeah, look at that. There's a picture.
Starbucks Advertiser
In fact, he got me to target taking pictures, and I somehow ended up Instagram post, which was cool.
Carter
Yeah. And there's his comment right there. Let's go. It says it was five days ago with, like 4,704 likes. And it's a reply.
Starbucks Advertiser
I got 424 likes.
Phil Robertson
Oh, man, that's awesome. So what do you like about Mr.
Carter
He actually traveled. He traveled from California all the way to New York.
Starbucks Advertiser
He hasn't done it yet.
Carter
One pity to deliver to Mr. Beast.
Starbucks Advertiser
He did do that.
Phil Robertson
Oh.
Carter
The richest YouTuber alive right now.
Phil Robertson
And he took him a pin right.
Carter
On the first day. He donated $500 to activate the Wheel of Doom.
Starbucks Advertiser
50,000.
Carter
Yeah, 50,000. You get to activate.
Starbucks Advertiser
And they're really doing a whole commercial for Ryan Trahan right here, aren't we?
Carter
You get to choose what they. What they have to.
Starbucks Advertiser
Ryan, if you're watching.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
We'd love to have you.
Phil Robertson
I know it's a big deal.
Carter
We love to have, and I just hope I'm there.
Starbucks Advertiser
Well, he's doing 50 states in 50 days.
Carter
I'll be some joy while you with you with me.
Phil Robertson
I'll bring some joy. I hope he's got his own Joyride.
Starbucks Advertiser
We spent $50 on Joyride the other day, so I hope he can buy his own.
Carter
I expect it to be like 300, because a lot of it was like. Because I saw the price tag on it. It was like, 50, 51. 47.
Starbucks Advertiser
We spent 5,147. I'm tired of your memory, by the way. Anyway, ryan is a YouTuber who's going across America with his wife. They're hitting 50 Airbnbs in 50 days in 50 different states. And so far, they're doing it.
Carter
But that's not all. They' he reviews one store place.
Phil Robertson
They been down here.
Carter
Yeah, he had. He has a.
Phil Robertson
They didn't get your Airbnb.
Carter
He actually goes. He actually goes around places around. He goes to places around the world.
Starbucks Advertiser
He's a good YouTuber for kids to watch, but he's raising money for St. Jude, and he was trying to raise a million dollars in 50 days.
Nordstrom Advertiser
Okay.
Starbucks Advertiser
And I just pulled up. He did it.
Willie Robertson
He did it.
Starbucks Advertiser
He's on day.
Carter
Congratulations, Ryan.
Willie Robertson
Hey. That's what I'm talking about, boys. Million bucks.
Starbucks Advertiser
He's on day 15, and he's already at $1.4 million.
Carter
$1 million. 400. That's actually 1 million 417. $655 raised.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
Boom.
Willie Robertson
I'm talking about, baby.
Carter
But he said he had to raise a million dollars, and now it's about. At $2 million.
Starbucks Advertiser
He said, why stop at a million?
Tom Martin
We.
Willie Robertson
That's right. We can make it.
Phil Robertson
God, I love your experience.
Willie Robertson
Fired up. I am, too.
Starbucks Advertiser
We. We watch this every night right now. Oh, there's their current map. That's what they've driven so far.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Carter
Now they're at. Hey, look. Now they're at Florida.
Starbucks Advertiser
And now they're in Florida.
Willie Robertson
Hey, There you go.
Carter
I'd say I suggest him to go back around to California asap.
Phil Robertson
Asap.
Carter
Because that. Because he might feel the challenge. If he doesn't.
Starbucks Advertiser
Well, he's got 50 days. We'll see. If you have 50 grand, we can activate the Wheel of Doom and make it harder.
Carter
I actually have, like, a lot of money.
Starbucks Advertiser
How much money you got?
Carter
I'm saving it off for college to be an astronomer because I wouldn't want a satellite that could actually see if there's actual life out in space.
Phil Robertson
He wants to be.
Carter
Because astronomy ends up. You guys. You can't have Star wars without aliens.
Starbucks Advertiser
I promise. I didn't know that's what he was gonna say.
Phil Robertson
God.
Starbucks Advertiser
You want to be an astronomer?
Phil Robertson
Thank you, Jesus.
Starbucks Advertiser
You're saving all your money to become an astronomer at Ulm.
Phil Robertson
Dream higher.
Starbucks Advertiser
I don't know.
Phil Robertson
Shoot. Higher, buddy.
Starbucks Advertiser
As a. As a fellow alum. Love it.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. Dream big, school.
Starbucks Advertiser
I don't know that their astronomy programs that strong.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. And I'm not even sure it exists.
Starbucks Advertiser
But I like the fact that you're.
Carter
Saying that can take selfies in space.
Starbucks Advertiser
Now we're going down. Mark Rober, everybody. If you're wondering who the big YouTubers in the Kid World. Are that. Don't cuss. Ask Carter. He'll tell you.
Carter
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
So, Carter, what do you think? Like, now that you're old enough to watch when you were. When you were a young buck, we did the regular Duck Dynasty. But now we have. I see the revival. Yeah. What do you think about seeing your dad on tv, man? How's that?
Carter
Yeah, that's awesome.
Starbucks Advertiser
Coolest dad at school.
Carter
He was also. He also ate the beef jerky. I could have got Bigfoot, but only caught Godwin.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, did. So, what do you think of the show so far?
Carter
It's pretty good.
Phil Robertson
It is pretty good. Any. You got any highlights that you love?
Carter
Oh, I'd say. I'd say I really eat those crutches.
Phil Robertson
The crutches? Oh, those?
Carter
Yeah, from episode four. Because I've tested them out once and they're actually pretty. They're actually pretty good to use if you don't feel. If you're too lazy to walk.
Starbucks Advertiser
Crutches. Crutches are harder to walk than regular walking.
Carter
Hey, never mind. Hey, I tested them out. It's kind of. It's kind of fun.
Starbucks Advertiser
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. America size. That's something you can get behind.
Willie Robertson
I can get behind that.
Starbucks Advertiser
And that's why Pure Talk is on a mission to give an allegiance flag, the highest quality American flag, to 1,000 U.S. veterans in time for National PTSD Awareness Day and Independence Day. Supporting this great cause is easy. Just switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk this month and a portion of every sale will go towards providing these high quality flags to deserving veterans. Look. Sighing. A big cell phone guy, but he likes America and he likes our flag and he likes veterans. Ain't that right?
Willie Robertson
That's right.
Starbucks Advertiser
That's right. So with plans from just $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data, you can enjoy America's most dependable 5G network while cutting your cell phone bill in half. The average family saves over $1,000 a year. Look, I switched over super easy. Kept my same phone number. Took me like 10 minutes. You ain't got to be a rocket scientist. And they're doing all this stuff for veterans. We've been talking about them for months. Great. Win, win, win. Easy to get behind these guys. Look, if you want to make this decision, you want to save money, you want to support veterans, just go to puretalk.com duck to switch hassle free in as little as 10 minutes. Again, that's puretalk.com/doc to support veterans and to switch to America's wireless company, PureTalk.
Phil Robertson
So that's the highlight. You got any low lights? Anything?
Starbucks Advertiser
What was your least favorite part?
Phil Robertson
Anything you'd change, you know why?
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, yeah, he knows. Oh, we can't go down this road, can you.
Carter
Can somebody just fly or. Watch this already.
Phil Robertson
Thank you, Jesus.
Starbucks Advertiser
You can't.
Phil Robertson
Oh, I tell you, that. One up for him.
Starbucks Advertiser
Okay, so at our house right now. Carter is a very polite young man. Is that correct, Carter?
Carter
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
And we don't like when people use foul language. Is that correct, Carter? Yeah, but if someone makes a mistake, it's okay.
Carter
Okay. That's right.
Starbucks Advertiser
Okay. So just because someone says something, if they get scared and didn't mean to say something, we don't have to call their boss and complain and fire them.
Carter
I don't think that was an accident.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, here we go.
Carter
Oh, it might have been a purpose. It might be an accident, but just please don't do it again. Alexis, if you're watching.
Willie Robertson
What?
Phil Robertson
Should I go get her?
Carter
No, just don't get it. Don't, don't.
Starbucks Advertiser
No, he won't be able to handle it. He doesn't want to see her ever again. It's been a nightly occurrence.
Carter
I think she asked me what we were going to talk about.
Starbucks Advertiser
No, that was the Duck Dynasty crew. You haven't seen her yet. I was nervous that you would see her.
Phil Robertson
My face hurts. Oh, man. What a life, man.
Willie Robertson
Potter, how old are you?
Carter
I'm like 11.
Willie Robertson
11.
Carter
And by September, I'll be 11 and a half.
Starbucks Advertiser
I was like, what's in September?
Phil Robertson
He's 11 and a third.
Starbucks Advertiser
11 and a half in September? That's correct.
Carter
Oh, five.
Phil Robertson
I love that. Golly, Carter.
Willie Robertson
Well, you are one sharp dude there, Mr. Carter.
Phil Robertson
You are a delight.
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
Wow, that really.
Starbucks Advertiser
Anyways, that was.
Phil Robertson
That was even better than I thought it was gonna be.
Starbucks Advertiser
Well, that's why our. Our YouTube and what we watch selection is limited because it. No cussing is allowed. Owen House.
Phil Robertson
Well, then we better be careful.
Tom Martin
Oh.
Starbucks Advertiser
With the guys. The rest of this episode.
Phil Robertson
Oh, man. Yeah. So, Carter, the. I had something else I was going to ask you and I totally got derailed because you answered that so perfectly.
Starbucks Advertiser
I knew that was coming.
Phil Robertson
I know.
Starbucks Advertiser
I thought we were going to avoid that.
Phil Robertson
No, I needed him to.
Starbucks Advertiser
He tried to face.
Phil Robertson
Oh, that's what I was going to ask you. So, like, I know because you sent. You did this In a video. So what should a person do if they get scared?
Carter
They should. They should just act calm.
Phil Robertson
Act calm. Close their eyes. Right. Or maybe jump back. Something like that. Just. Just not use.
Carter
I probably tried to faint.
Phil Robertson
Tried to faint.
Carter
I've seen that in a TV show once where, like, a camp director actually scared somebody, and then they fainted, and then they fainted.
Starbucks Advertiser
And that's better than profane language.
Carter
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
Okay, better option.
Carter
Just pull that funky clip up. It's also an episode 3.
Starbucks Advertiser
We're not watching any Disney clips in here either.
Carter
It's Netflix.
Phil Robertson
Get it right. Dad, it's like a dictionary for. Oh, my goodness gracious.
Starbucks Advertiser
So you had a specific reason you wanted to come on the show today? You wanted to talk to psy about something?
Carter
Oh, I wanted to talk about all y' all. Like, what I want to be like before my presidency.
Phil Robertson
Okay.
Carter
Probably I might work for dad at the Honey Hole before I become president.
Starbucks Advertiser
A lot of presidents started off sleeping.
Carter
Crickets and probably just work for the duck call room.
Phil Robertson
You work for the duck call room?
Starbucks Advertiser
Boy, it doesn't pay.
Carter
Because the more I minute.
Starbucks Advertiser
Why did Hunter laugh so hard?
Carter
Yeah, a lot of laughs.
Phil Robertson
I'm just gonna encourage more comments, more.
Carter
Likes, and more money.
Starbucks Advertiser
Can we get a more comments, more likes in the comment section just for Carter? Just spam that, the whole thing.
Phil Robertson
More comments, more likes, more likes.
Starbucks Advertiser
When Carter's on, we get more comments, more likes. Is that right?
Carter
That's because I got a lot of good prop comedy.
Phil Robertson
A good prop comedy. What prop did you bring?
Carter
Oh, I. Yesterday I did some Star wars jokes.
Phil Robertson
Okay. Do you remember any of them?
Carter
They're pretty hilarious.
Starbucks Advertiser
Hold on.
Carter
Like, what did Palpatine say before. Before they. They dueled? He said he's an old geezer.
Phil Robertson
Not Palpatine.
Carter
That guy looks like a hundred. That guy Looks like 200 years old.
Starbucks Advertiser
I don't know.
Phil Robertson
I don't even. I don't even get the joke. But I love his delivery man.
Starbucks Advertiser
He's got delivery. Hey, hold on. So you want to be president? You want to be an astronomer just to see if there's aliens out there? Yeah, because obviously we can't have Star wars without real aliens.
Carter
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
And you also want to work at the Honey Hole, and then you want to work in the. No, you're going to retire at the Honeyhole.
Carter
Like, after my presidency, I will work for the Honey Hole and the Duck call room.
Phil Robertson
Oh, there you go. Secret Service at the HH Superstore.
Starbucks Advertiser
Man, I think that's gonna work, bro. Can you imagine George W. Bush in the honey hole right now?
Phil Robertson
Yes, I can. And it would be fantastic.
Starbucks Advertiser
I would Love it.
Willie Robertson
Well, Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump, our president, he worked in. At McDonald's the other day.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, that is true.
Willie Robertson
How about that?
Carter
He went to McDonald's. Awesome. I went to go to that McDonald's he went to.
Phil Robertson
What else you got, Carter? I mean, you're.
Starbucks Advertiser
Is your shower.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, they're gonna be. So you're gonna be an astronomer. You're gonna work at the honeyhole duck call room. Any. Any other. Can I ask if you had a big goal other than presidency? I know, but, like, before, you know, you got to get all this stuff done before you. Please.
Carter
The rocket that launches and the satellites actually. Actually working just don't explode.
Phil Robertson
Okay? Rockets and satellites. So you're saying. Tighten up, NASA.
Carter
I seen some clips of satellite rockets exploding in one of the episodes of Mark Rober, which was pretty satisfying.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah, it probably cost him a lot of money.
Phil Robertson
Carter, do you remember when you were a kid, you would sit in your dad's office all day and watch car crashes?
Carter
That was actually. I actually watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Phil Robertson
You did watch that, too.
Carter
Clearly, Walt Disney's goaded.
Phil Robertson
I will never forget walking in, though, and seeing the pure joy on your face from cars crashing into each other.
Starbucks Advertiser
It's a cartoon car.
Phil Robertson
I know cartoon cars. Not real.
Starbucks Advertiser
Not real people.
Phil Robertson
And I always wondered how that was possible. Then I had twins, and they love.
Starbucks Advertiser
I love a good car crash.
Phil Robertson
They love fake cars running into each other. It's hilarious.
Carter
Like toy cars.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, well. Carter. Golly.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah, I mean, I got nothing.
Phil Robertson
I got nothing either.
Starbucks Advertiser
It's my child. What?

Starbucks Advertiser
That's a. That's not gonna happen.
Phil Robertson
You know what I found weird? I figured with Si sitting beside me today, I wouldn't have any fun socks to look at, but Carter wore his Christmas socks out there in the middle of June.
Willie Robertson

Carter
That's because he's the only pair I found.
Willie Robertson
And they look good.
Phil Robertson

Carter

Phil Robertson
You got any. You got any Biden socks?
Carter
No.
Starbucks Advertiser
Why not?
Carter
That's because. That's because he might have looked kind of famous because he was in a lot of video games and Roblox, but he wasn't really that good of a president.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, I would have used. I would have used one.
Carter
Republican. People watching.

We rate yours are going to do it one day. Oh, they might just be more dialed in.
Phil Robertson
Oh, man. Well, that was a good start to today's overall. Let's just.
Starbucks Advertiser
It's a wild podcast.
Phil Robertson
Let's call it Comedy day. Right. Like I don't know the better term to use for it. We now have our good friend Mr. Justin Stagner back with us. He's in town helping out at the sportsman's camp. So we said, you know what, while you're here volunteering your time, why don't you come give us some free time, too? So, you know, I don't mind volunteering.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah, he's a volunteer all around.
Phil Robertson
I thought you were a Roll Tide guy.
Tom Martin
Roll Tide. I still volunteer, though. My moonlight is a volunteer.
Phil Robertson
Oh, I married one. Don't do that. Oh, man. Oh, man. How you been, Mr. Stagner? How's life been since the last time we got to talk to you?
Tom Martin
It has been crazy. It's been wild. How have you all been?
Phil Robertson
We've been sitting right here.
Tom Martin
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
The whole time.
Tom Martin
I try keeping up as well as I can.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, we don't. We don't get too far. But how's the comedy thing doing? I see now you're doing a lot more shows and things like that, so you own the road, kind of like we were back in the day. How's that life?
Tom Martin
It's fun. I try. I try to stay gone. Only like two days a week tops. Because I just like being home with the family at least five days a week.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Tom Martin
That way, you know, it's still better than the four night shifts that I used to work, you know, so just being gone two days.
Starbucks Advertiser
Night shifts.
Tom Martin
Oh, yeah. I worked two weeks a day and two weeks of nights at a steel mill for 13 years.
Phil Robertson
And 12 hour graveyards don't play, do they?
Tom Martin
And it was Rough body. Wouldn't get used to it, you know. And then in two weeks later, you switch over.
Willie Robertson
Yeah, that's what done it.
Tom Martin
Yeah. Terrible.
Willie Robertson
Go from one to the other.
Tom Martin
Yeah. And you never get used to anything.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Then you stay confused all the time.
Starbucks Advertiser
I'm not used to it. I've never even done it.
Phil Robertson
That's what everybody says about TV show and all that. Like, we know it's a lot of work on you. I'm like, yeah, but it beats. I got 12 hour graveyard.
Tom Martin
Exactly.
Starbucks Advertiser
Somebody came in the store the other day, they're like, you working hard? And I was like, not compared to them boys in the mines. I got air conditioner. I'm doing all right.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. Let's just call it what it is, man. It ain't.
Tom Martin
That's the truth, man, those 12 hour shifts are brutal.
Phil Robertson
But now we're glad to have you back, man. And the lower Alabama seems to be thriving right now. Charles time of the year. Anyway, all the rednecks from up here go down there and see y' all.
Tom Martin
So, yeah, it's getting nice and hot. Everybody's heading to the beach. They stopped by on their way to.
Phil Robertson
The beach and just wave.
Tom Martin
I tell people when they come see me, when they come to the podcast or something. They said, man, I don't. I didn't know Alabama looked like this. I said, well, the rest of it don't just us. We're. We're the only ones on the coast.
Phil Robertson
You'll have to have Al stop in. He basically lives down there now.
Starbucks Advertiser
Al and his beach house.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. I mean, Lisa sells real estate down there too, so they might as well just get all their mail there instead of up here. But no, man, I don't. I'm still trying. My mind's blown. From a. From a 11 year old.
Starbucks Advertiser
He'll do that to you. How old's your son?
Tom Martin
He's six. And he's six. He's freshly getting out of. He's in a boot right now. He just got out of a cast.
Phil Robertson
He broke his leg riding bull.
Tom Martin
No, he was riding the hoverboard. And the hoverboard has a safety mechanism where it beeps three times and then just locks up.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, boy.
Tom Martin
So it's like. Well, I guess the guy that designed it was like, look, give them three beeps and then teach them a lesson.
Phil Robertson
If they don't listen, break their leg.
Tom Martin
And it would lock it locked up on him at the skating rig. And I guess it. He hit it when he fell.
Starbucks Advertiser
Question. In the skating rink.
Tom Martin
Yeah. Oh, yeah, they let him. They let him overboard now.
Starbucks Advertiser
Okay. Yeah, they hadn't made it to our skating rinks.
Tom Martin
Do y' all have the walkers yet?
Starbucks Advertiser
No, we just have regular rollerblades.
Tom Martin
See, no kids learn how to skate anymore. They give them a walker.
Phil Robertson
Really?
Tom Martin
And then they go get their skates on and they just push this walker. So nobody learns how to skate.
Phil Robertson
I just find it puzzling how the only two people that I somewhat know that have been to a skating rink in the past 10 years are sitting across from me right now.
Starbucks Advertiser
I was at a skating rink like two weeks ago and nobody was ever sporting.
Tom Martin
What about scooters? They let them bring scooters?
Starbucks Advertiser
No, no, it was all skates. But I was the. So my middle son, Ben's. It was. It was actually my youngest, my daughter's friend's birthday party and all the dads were standing over there and I showed up a little late and my son comes up, he goes, are you going to skate? I said, son, I'm not going to be the only dad skating.
G
That's.
Starbucks Advertiser
And he goes, it'll just prove you're the only dad that's happy. And I was like, ma' am, can I have a pair of rollerblades, please?
Phil Robertson
Y' all got any rollerblades?
Starbucks Advertiser
So then I was the only adult out there.
Tom Martin
Not me, buddy.
Starbucks Advertiser
Screws and throats.
Tom Martin
That's a far fall when you get older.
Starbucks Advertiser
I went. I was. I was skating. I'd needed a walker.
Phil Robertson
Still on blade.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh yeah.
Tom Martin
Oh, I would have had to do blades if I was doing it. I couldn't do the speed skates. No way.
Starbucks Advertiser
Them four wheels that are beside each other stinky.
Tom Martin
Not like that.
Phil Robertson
Well, my cankles wouldn't take none of.
Starbucks Advertiser
It, so my ankle, when I got done, my back was in a lot of pain.
Tom Martin
Well, you know those brown skates don't have any ankle support. It's just paper.
Phil Robertson
Them brown skates.
Starbucks Advertiser
And everyone knew what he was talking about immediately.
Tom Martin
Exactly.
Starbucks Advertiser
They bought them when Sigh was in elementary and they've been renting them out ever since.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, and then they gave Sonic a heck of a deal on the closeout when they started to put a drive thru.
Tom Martin
I know.
Phil Robertson
Whatever happened to that man when they skated.
Tom Martin
Yeah, and now it's optional. Every now and then you'll see like.
Starbucks Advertiser
A. I have not seen a skater in a long time.
Phil Robertson
Well, to be fair, I haven't gone to a non drive through Sonic in the last few times I've been there, so I haven't Even given the opportunity to walk it out there. I mean, that's sad, really.
Starbucks Advertiser
It's America's drive in.
Phil Robertson
It is America's driving. But ours is horrible. My gas is so expensive. I ain't trying to sit there. Mys is horrible.
Tom Martin
It is. But it's so funny. When he broke his leg, like, you know how parents are. I was like, son, your leg's not broke.
Phil Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Tom Martin
What's wrong with you? Walk it off.
Phil Robertson
Yes.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, no. Like, we're with that.
Tom Martin
Oh, yeah, dude. We got him walking in Walmart and everything. Like, oh, God. And then look afterwards. Afterwards we're sitting there driving, and his leg just keeps getting bigger. And I was like, he might be on to something here. It's so crazy because my son's so dramatic. He's in the back seat, like, this is my favorite leg.
Phil Robertson
Like, he's gonna lose it.
Tom Martin
That's your left leg. You don't even use it for anything.
Starbucks Advertiser
That's my favorite leg.
Tom Martin
It was sad. He got put in a wheelchair for, like, I don't know, six weeks. That was pretty brutal.
Starbucks Advertiser
And you were walking them through the Walmart?
Tom Martin
Yeah, that was before we got the cast, before we even took him to the doctor. We were like, dude, just walk it off and he's in Walmart. Just like, yeah, it was terrible. We had to apologize to him a lot after that.
Starbucks Advertiser
That makes. That checks.
Tom Martin
But, yeah, it felt bad.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, you. That cost you some things.
Tom Martin
It did. That cost you a whole trip to the Super Nintendo world.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah. That'll do it to you.
Phil Robertson
Well, tell him there's still hope. Because I was a. I was about six years old. Yeah, six. I was in kindergarten when I broke my leg. I did kindergarten in a wheelchair.
Tom Martin
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. Well, that was before they knew that you didn't have to, like, if you broke your lower leg, you didn't have to have a cast all the way up to your hip. Like, I legit. Yeah, in 19. Whatever. 1989. 90. 91. Whenever that happened, I had a cast from my toes to my hip because I broke my freaking tibia. That's down here by the way. They catch me from my toes to my hip for that thing.
Starbucks Advertiser
What did you do? Did you fall off a Segway?
Phil Robertson
A bicycle. Bicycle wreck. Yeah. I got twisted up under in a curve, and it just. I felt it when it happened. My parents did the same thing. Yeah, they said. I said, oh. I told my buddy that's right there with me because he stopped checking on me. He's like, you're okay. I said, no, man, I think my legs broke. Oh, yeah, I remember.
Tom Martin
You knew it.
Phil Robertson
I felt. I felt it go. You know, I've. I've broken a few things since then, and a break has a certain feel to it, once you experience it, that.
Starbucks Advertiser
It'S like, I've never broken a bone because I'm soft.
Phil Robertson
My parents were like, get. You. Get on your bike and get it to the house. You know? So, yeah, I went pedaling with a broke leg back to the house when.
Starbucks Advertiser
Carter fell off the Segway. And he didn't break his arm, but it was nasty. It was all bruised up and stuff.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
The only thing that brought him peace is that we read that the owner of the inventor of Segway fell off a Segway and. And died and fell off a cliff.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
He was like, that serves him right.
Tom Martin
That's amazing. The company survived that.
Starbucks Advertiser
Well.
Tom Martin
He sold it well.
Starbucks Advertiser
And then he was riding around a Segway, and. And Carter was like, yep, that's what Segways deserve.
Tom Martin
That's what he gets for quitting on his own product.
Starbucks Advertiser
No. Carter was like, I'm never riding the Segway again. I said, do you know what happened to the inventor of Segway? And he's like, I can get. I can get down with Segways again. As long as he got in trouble. Yeah, he bruised my elbow.
Phil Robertson
Breaking your leg at that age? Oh, that's tough, because now he's. He's inside.
Tom Martin
Yeah.
Phil Robertson
Stir crazy.
Tom Martin
Week before graduation, he graduated in a wheelchair, and he's been. Well, now he's in the boot, so he's running everywhere. Got to tell him to chill out.
Phil Robertson
I played D ball in a wheelchair. I was.
Tom Martin
No, you were just there.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, I know. I was the catcher back there, but I was. I had my leg propped up at a wheelchair. Like, what? Yes.
Starbucks Advertiser
Are there photographs?
Phil Robertson
My mom has photographs of me.
Tom Martin
Well, I bet you I was in first place, wouldn't you?
Phil Robertson
Oh, yeah. We was pretty good. We had all the studs of the deal, so it didn't really matter, you know? But that's back when T ball was still kind of like baseball. Now it's just wrangling cats. Like, when you go watch it like it is. We. We were taking ground balls at practice when I was playing T ball. But my. My coach was my buddy's dad. No, I'm just saying he was. He wanted to win at every level. It didn't matter if we were 5 or if we were 15. Like.
Tom Martin
Well, that's what. That's the travel ball teams now.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, that's all them boys doing that stuff now.
Starbucks Advertiser
We don't belong there.
Phil Robertson
No, not anymore. And my kids hopefully will never grace the presence of a travel ball team. So I'm going to teach them how to fish, and hopefully they spend a lot of money with you.
Starbucks Advertiser
I'm down with that. My dad told somebody the other day about me. It kind of hurt my feelings.
Phil Robertson
Do you realize it was true?
Starbucks Advertiser
It was very true. It was talking about kids playing baseball. He goes, oh, no, John. David was the perfect baseball player. He said he was good enough to where he was interesting, but he wasn't so good that I had to spend a lot of time out there. There was no future gonna happen. But he was okay to watch. We weren't having to do any all stars. Yeah, but he wasn't terrible.
Phil Robertson
I was like, but you gotta know.
Starbucks Advertiser
Whether I'm happy or offended.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, but you weren't eating nachos in a dugout either, right?
Starbucks Advertiser
I know.
Tom Martin
I watched a video the other day, and it's this mom, and she's. She's. It's. It starts with her kid as, like, a little bit over T ball, like, coach pitch. And it's just her saying, like, dang it, Charlie. For, like, 20 years, all the way through college, every time he strikes out, you just hear the mom being like, dang it, Charlie. I was like, that might not be Charlie's sport. You know, I like that he stuck with it.
Willie Robertson
But, yeah, let him try something else, Chuck.
Phil Robertson
Go. Go try something else, Chuck. It ain't no big deal. For something that requires attention, like listening to a podcast, we do talk a lot about sleeping.
Willie Robertson
Why sleeping?
Starbucks Advertiser
Because our friends at MyPillow have a passion to help everyone get best sleep of their life.
Phil Robertson
They didn't stop at just creating the pillow. They've made the best bed sheets ever, too, man.

Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah. What are you doing at Sportsman's Camp while you're here?
Tom Martin
What are you teaching today? We did some rifle range stuff with the kids, which was awesome. I did it as Buck Norris, my character. Buck Norris, who's America's greatest hunting coach.
Phil Robertson
You probably pull that up, Jay.
Starbucks Advertiser
I've seen it. It's rich in quality.
Tom Martin
He's America's greatest hunting coach. You know, I shoot with both eyes closed.
Starbucks Advertiser
And you talk to the kids like that?
Tom Martin
Yes. Yes, I did. I did.
Starbucks Advertiser
Did they learn anything?
Tom Martin
No, they did not. That's what Tombo was there for. But it was fun to watch. Man, some of these kids have never fired a gun before in their life. And then by the end of it, they're just doing amazing. You know, they're hitting targets back to back, and you can just see the fire in their eyes whenever they get it going. So stuff like that, I don't mind doing stuff like that. It's. It's. It's as much for me as it is for them.
Phil Robertson
That's exactly right. Yeah, we've. We've done it. How many years now is this year?
Starbucks Advertiser
I think this is your five. I was trying to. I was talking to some parents, and they were like. Like what? All do they do. And I was like, well, technically, I was only there for the whole thing for year one and we were really winging that.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, it's definitely gotten more robust now.
Starbucks Advertiser
It's like they were like, did they bring their own guns? It's like, no, no, we got it all covered.
Phil Robertson
But yeah, just like tomorrow I'm actually taking my boat out there and we're gonna go through all kinds of things, like.
Starbucks Advertiser
Taking your boat.
Phil Robertson
I'm taking my boat.
Starbucks Advertiser
Are we putting it in the pond? No, I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna camp.
Phil Robertson
I'm not going. No, there ain't but that one six pounder lives in there. He been caught like 97 times.
Starbucks Advertiser
Let's go.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, but now just teaching them some different things, like boat safety. Like, just things that you just don't think about, man. Like things that you. We take for granted that our fathers and grandfathers and all that taught us. I mean, there's a lot going in. When you decide, I'm going to buy a boat and I'm about to haul this thing on a trailer around the country. Like, there's just a lot, a lot of things and nobody, you know, these kids aren't exposed to it. So it's really fun to do these kind of things for these.
Starbucks Advertiser
The coolest part is some of the kids are like, you go out there and some of them kids, I'm like, well. And I'm like, oh, crap, he's. He can fish better than me.
Phil Robertson
Well.
Tom Martin
And I'm like, yeah, great.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
But you notice those kids start helping out the kids who parents sit on there because they're trying to learn. And it's really cool to see that.
Phil Robertson
Well, and if you see kids also, then you end up with kids like Cade, who I met. I would have never met Cade if he hadn't come to sportsman's camp. And now he works for us, like, so, you know, for us, like you get to interview kind of the next generation of workers and kids and, and. And all the things like you. That's what I'm saying. You may want to pay attention when we're out there tomorrow night. Like you can find little diamonds in the rough and kids that get it and like, they just have the right personality, right blend and. And all the things. So it's very much a recruitment tool for us. Like, you know, kind of on the job training. Like, because one of the deals of building duck calls, I always ask, like, it was best one who. Who did pretty good at that. Let me know.
Tom Martin
It is A different world, though, because I remember when I was a kid, you couldn't find another kid that didn't grow up the way I was growing up.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Tom Martin
And we were all growing up like that.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. Yeah. We were all rubbing dirt on it, saying, walk it off.
Tom Martin
Exactly.
Phil Robertson
You didn't want to get in trouble.
Tom Martin
Everybody's hunt.
Starbucks Advertiser
Everybody's leg was broken in Walmart back when we were kids.
Tom Martin
Well, yeah. I mean, your whole Christmas break, you were hunting every day.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Tom Martin
Like every kid was.
Phil Robertson
That's Thanksgiving break. Yeah, Thanksgiving break. Same way you come home just long enough for dinner and then you went right back.
Tom Martin
Exactly. Hunted on Thanksgiving, like. And it was amazing.
Phil Robertson
And it's a lost deal.
Starbucks Advertiser
Today we watched the parade.
Phil Robertson
Did you?
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah. I didn't grow up hunting. I grew up fishing. And, you know, November, you just gonna watch a parade and take a nap.
Willie Robertson
That's like. You know, people that live in the city, they have no idea what goes on with farmers, what they do and all that, you know, because they've never been around it.
Tom Martin
Exactly.
Willie Robertson
So, like, when you was talking about these kids, teaching them something, you know, that's a good thing.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, yeah.
Phil Robertson
Oh, yeah.
Willie Robertson
Because some of them come from families where they've never gone. What are you talking about?
Phil Robertson
Right?
Willie Robertson
For people that actually live and hunt all the time. Well, that's just another tool. One of our tools. We use people that don't do it. Well, that's something rare for them, right?
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, no. I remember year one of sportsman's camp.
Phil Robertson
This.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, what? Chambo.
Phil Robertson
Oh, big champ. Yeah, big champ. Man.
Starbucks Advertiser
This dude had never been exposed to the outdoors or anything. And he hooks into a decent bass.
Phil Robertson
Yeah.
Starbucks Advertiser
And I hear, I got one from across the pond, and I take off running and I'm like, just back up, man. Don't even reel. Just back up.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Just run up to run up the.
Starbucks Advertiser
Bank, and he just backs on up till that thing's on the bank. He picked that sucker up. You would have thought he won a million dollars.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, exactly. He had my rod and reel.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, it was awesome.
Phil Robertson
Dag up. Ned rig on it, and he just threw it out there. And big dummy went up there and ate it and was like the smile on that kid's face. So his whole week was made on, like, the first afternoon. Yeah, well, that's.
Tom Martin
That's what I was telling Tombow is like. You see, just like that kid we were talking about today that never shot a gun before and then hits 20 in a row. It's like the light in his eyes.
Starbucks Advertiser
20 in a row.
Tom Martin
20 in a row.
Starbucks Advertiser
I'm not doing that. And look, I'm way too fidgety.
Tom Martin
What I'm saying is he might not ever shoot a gun again. That's the sad part.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, but. And it could also ignite a fire that. Next thing, next time you see him, he's shooting for the US Olympic.
Tom Martin
Like if he went like. That's what Tombo said.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. I mean, you just never know.
Starbucks Advertiser
Martin is in the house, by the way.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. We're going to get Tombo in here, too. We're going to get the other in here too, before we, before we get out of here for sure.
Tom Martin
You just hope that they go home and tell their parents how much they loved it and they say, okay, well, maybe we got something here.
Phil Robertson
Well, and then that you tell their parents too, that may think that all guns are bad. Right. Because there's. They get a lot of negative press. They get way more negative press. They do a good press, but. But, you know, in the right hands and taught the right way, like, they're a very good tool for having fun, if nothing else. I mean, earning powder is fun. I don't care.
Willie Robertson
Like me. Okay. We actually supplemented our food, you know, groceries.
Phil Robertson
Absolutely.
Willie Robertson
When I went to the lake, it wasn't a play. It was to catch the fish day for supper.
Phil Robertson
Yeah. Now they got us all convinced to throw them back.
Tom Martin
My grandpa dropped out of high school to sell catfish. That's a true story. He dropped out of school to sell catfish.
Phil Robertson
Hey, Phil Robertson built this whole place off of running trammel nets, hoop nets, and every other kind of limb line net thing you could think of. Because he had to sell fish to buy the wood for the duck calls.
Tom Martin
Yeah, exactly.
Willie Robertson
Everything he did, okay, Was to sell the fish.
Phil Robertson
Yeah, sell them all.
Willie Robertson
Right? Throw lines, nets, drop lines off of limbs. Just any way you could catch a fish. We did it.
Tom Martin
Yeah. And I remember being a kid going with my grandpa and I would get excited until I realized we had to run trot lines. And I remember as a kid being like, you knew it was going to be a long day.
Phil Robertson
Oh, that's it.
G
A long work day.
Willie Robertson
That's another thing most people don't understand. Okay. For you to go get in a boat, go fishing. Somebody did a lot of work before that.
Tom Martin
Exactly.
Willie Robertson
Okay. Because fishing and hunting, okay, is work. You know, people always tell me, oh, I can't believe you shooting them little defensive animals. I said, hey, you need to close your mouth because you're showing your ignorance. I said, because, hey, look, I Said if all it was to killing, like deer hunting, if all it was was pulling the trigger on a deer, I'd sell every gun I got, never go again. I said, I'm shooting that thing for a reason.
Phil Robertson
Amen.
Willie Robertson
Hey, I'm gonna take him and drag him back home. After I gut him and get 90% of the weight out, then I gotta go home, skin him, cut him up where I can put him in the freezer and not let the meat ruin. Okay. And I'm gonna eat on that sucker for about three months.
Tom Martin
It's gonna be delicious.
Willie Robertson
Which is. You know, Venice is one of my favorite states.
Tom Martin
It is my favorite.
Starbucks Advertiser
Well, high in protein.
Willie Robertson
Most people don't. They don't get into it. Because I was watching the news one night and that's been years ago, and a woman in New York City said, oh, I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the farmers and all the trouble they got. If I just want some hamburger meat, I just go to the grocery store and get it.
Starbucks Advertiser
She said that?
Willie Robertson
Yeah. No way. That woman don't even know that a farmer had to raise that cow and then had to slaughter it and take it onto the meat. Then they cut it up, grind it up, make hamburger meat out of it. I said, welcome to the real world there, stupid.
Starbucks Advertiser
I've got a. I thought he was gonna say sister, but stupid.
Tom Martin
I've got a saying with my son. I don't know if I told y' all this or not. I can't remember, but I'll say, the world. And my son will say, is full of stupid people. Then I will say, don't, and he'll say, be one of them. And I said, that's right.
Starbucks Advertiser
No, no, no.
Willie Robertson
Ryan White's my favorite comedian for one reason.
Phil Robertson
Oh, man.
Willie Robertson
He comes out saying, you can't think stupid.
Tom Martin
You cannot.
Willie Robertson
You can't.
Phil Robertson
Not even with duct tape. Right?

Ladies and gentlemen, our next guest joining the podcast is with none other than Buck Commander, the Houston Astros own Tom Martin.
Willie Robertson
Oh, yeah.
G
What's up, guys? What's going. Oh, Lord.
Tom Martin
Who's that guy?
Starbucks Advertiser
Look, there's pictures of you all over the Internet, man.
G
Yeah, I was young at one point.
Starbucks Advertiser
You are young.
G
Nobody believes that.
Starbucks Advertiser
No Tombow of Buck Commander and baseball fame has joined us. You're so he's teaching kids how to shoot with their eyes closed.
G
What. What do you expect from me? I can't do it.
Starbucks Advertiser
You.
G
I can't shoot with both of them.
Willie Robertson
Both of them? Well, I got a question. How did you meet Willie Robinson?
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, Lord, that's.
G
That's a question that a lot of people ask.
Willie Robertson
No, no, I'm serious.
G
Okay, here it is. I was pitching with the rockies back in 2006, and I walked into the clubhouse at home, and there was this dude sitting on one of our couches. A hairy dude with the ugliest boots I've ever seen.
Willie Robertson
A red boot.
G
Oh, Lord. You got it exactly right.
Willie Robertson
I love it.
G
So I'm walking around the clubhouse. I'm like, does anybody know who this cat is? I just want to introduce myself to him. I knew he wasn't media. They're not allowed to sit on the couches. They got to stand up and wait by your locker if they want to talk to you. And Willie didn't look like he wanted to talk to anybody. Anyways, so Todd Helton finally comes in from the. From the batting cages. Early hitting. And I said, t. I said, do you know who that dude is? He goes, that's my buddy Willie. I said, is he homeless? He started laughing. He goes, no, he's not homeless. He goes, you ever heard of Duck Commander? I said, I've heard of, but I'm not a wing shooter. He goes, yeah, they've been doing it since the 70s. And this, that, and the other, and Willie kind of running the company. And I said, all right, cool. So he's a buddy of yours? He goes, yeah. I said, whatever. Said, hey to him. And. And that was it. We just started talking about hunting and stuff like that. And he said, you Duck Hunt? I was like, no, I don't. I said, I would just. I just don't I have a hard enough time shooting things standing still.
Phil Robertson
Right.
G
So.
Starbucks Advertiser
So does I.
G
So we talked about it a little bit in. Then he showed up again. We were playing the Dodgers. He showed up and we hung out a little bit in the clubhouse. He goes, man, he goes, we're going down to Texas in the off season to shoot some deer. Would you like to go? And I was like, well, of course I would. So without even clearing it with my boss, you know who that is? My wife. I said, I'm in.
Starbucks Advertiser
Thought you were going to say the coach.
G
No, no, I didn't listen to any of that.
Starbucks Advertiser
No, you didn't listen to him.
G
That's why my career was so short.
Willie Robertson
No, he means the real boss.
G
That's right. The one that counts.
Starbucks Advertiser
The one that counts.
G
Yeah. Number two.
Starbucks Advertiser
Behind.
G
Behind the big one.
Starbucks Advertiser
Okay.
G
Right. So, yeah, so we talked about it and I said, I'm in. You know, after the game, I called my wife. I went home to my wife. I said, I'm going to Texas this off season. She said, for what? I said, well, I met this guy. And he said, you want to come hunting? When I said, yeah. She goes, well, who is he? I said, I don't know really. I said, well, his name's Willie and his family shoots a lot of ducks and stuff like that. And this is before I knew anything about Yalls, the. The life or the story. And of course I learned. I learned a good a bit about it later, but we had a good time and we met in the hill country of Texas and for four or five days just shot everything we saw. And now I can't stop.
Starbucks Advertiser
There you go.
Phil Robertson
Right?
Starbucks Advertiser
And that's how. That's basically the story of Buck Commander. Was Willie sleeping and hanging out on random couches until he got enough people to pay for it?
G
That's correct. Now you can call it what you will, but that's, that's smart business on his part.
Starbucks Advertiser
If you.
Willie Robertson
No, no, I think say that's the alternative entrepreneur. And Willie, if you ain't got any money, find those that do have it.
G
He picked a pretty target rich environment with business. Hey, you know, that's what you're supposed to do if you want to start a business. You have a good idea, but you don't have the capital. Find the people that do and have like, interests and go for it.
Starbucks Advertiser
And here we are. And look, 20 years later and look what happened. Yeah.
G
But I'll tell you this. And this. We have you to thank for this. And you and, and you over there. My Favorite Martin. When Doug Dynasty took off, we were right behind y' all. Without y' all, we would not be where we are. So I thank you for that. You guys paved the road for us. I would.
Starbucks Advertiser
I would point towards a certain old gentleman who used to wear glasses for that. He really.
Willie Robertson
And here's one side that. That I need to add right here. Okay. People always say, hey, can one man make difference? I'm here to tell you, one man can make a difference.
G
That's correct.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah.
Willie Robertson
Okay. If he stands up for what he believes in and always does. Okay. I call it, hey, you talk to talk. Let's see about. Can you walk? To walk with it. Well, and really, that's what the Robertsons are good for.
G
100%.
Willie Robertson
Okay. Is that God blessed us, okay. Knowing. Okay. And this is the infinite wisdom of the Almighty. Knowing if. Hey, you know, I always say it this way. Hey, God did his part. He blessed us just so we could bless other people. And that's. That's the way this should work. And when you think about it, it's a good way to do it. God blesses this person, and then this person blesses 25 more people, and then those bless, and then it just keeps. The ripple effect just keeps going.
G
It's infectious.
Willie Robertson
Yeah. Yeah.
G
Another thing, if it wasn't for all this happening, I wouldn't have been baptized. I promise you that. Because that was never even a thought in my mind, Right? And I knew Willie for, I don't know, nine, ten years before we even had a discussion about that. And it was in his backyard. We were doing commercials for the Buck Commander, and we got stuck on this one sponsor. We just need something funny, something cool. We just couldn't do it. He said, we'll stop by the house afterwards. This is, like June, like, now. So we pull up, and it's 97 degrees outside. Willie's got a fire about 9ft high in his backyard, and he's just sitting there. I'm like, what is it? Trial by fire, huh?
Willie Robertson
Is this a guy lost his mind?
G
Yeah, he finally lost it. And so we pull up and we start talking about just stuff. And then Grant Taylor had just got back from a trip from Georgia, and he's like, yeah, I got some people on the radar. I'm like, what do you mean? What does that mean? He's, well, people I want to bring to the Lord. You know, this. I got him targeted. Like, oh, cool. So we talked about that. And I don't know, two. Two and a half hours later, we got through all the commercial stuff. And it got quiet. And I was just hypnotized by the fire. And I could see Willie's head just go. I'm like. And I promise I put my hand on the Bible at that point. I said, here we go. I knew what was coming. So weird, man. Not weird, just weird for me.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah.
G
He said, tom Huggies, I've never. I've never talked to you about your conviction, man. Where do you stand? I said, what does that mean? He said, if you were to die right now.
Willie Robertson
Where do I stand on what?
G
While I'm sitting at your house?
Willie Robertson
Yeah.
G
He goes, if you were to die right now, would you go to heaven or hell? I said, pretty sure I'd go to hell. He goes, whoa. I said, what do you mean? He goes, I've never had anybody answer that. Most people say purgatory or heaven, which. There is no purgatory. I did not know that either until that night. Right. So about 2:00' clock, 2:15 in the morning, I went under the water and I came up, man. It's a different feeling, you know? You guys know what I'm talking about?
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah.
G
That's incredible. It's incredible.
Starbucks Advertiser
That's a real buck commander story.
Willie Robertson
You come out of the water, you feel lighter.
G
I felt so good. No, no, it was incredible. And, you know, I watched one of our camera guys get baptized at Adam's place in Fort Scott and cried my. Like a baby. And I told Will, I said, I don't understand why I was so upset because. Do you feel like you're missing something? I said, dang it. Yep. Yeah, I guess so. I didn't know it, but yeah, man. And he goes, well, you ready? I said, yeah, let's do it.
Phil Robertson
Because.
G
You serious? I'm like, yeah. But the only bad part about it is I had to wear a pair of his swimming shorts.
Starbucks Advertiser
Those didn't fit.
G
Well, it's not even the fit part I was worried about.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, they smelled.
G
I don't know. I just know they were on him at some point.
Starbucks Advertiser
They didn't fit for sure. I didn't know this is how we were going to end this one with Tombo coming. This was not my mom, but that's what. That's kind of what we always do. Because you're right about the fact that we're all in this room because of one man. And I'm going to point back to your brother, who we just lost recently. And because he made that decision. We're sitting with Justin. We're sitting with Tombo. Hunter's in here, Justin Martin's in here. Size in here. Beth's in here. And without him turning his life to the Lord, I don't. I mean, you're probably still a comedian. I don't know what I'm. I'm just selling worms on the side of the road.
Willie Robertson
Hey, you gotta.
G
I got worms.
Starbucks Advertiser
I'm trying to figure out how to wrap up this episode because it was a wild one. We had the president, we had a comedian, we had baseball, we had psy. We talked about all sorts of stuff. But we have sportsman's camp, and I think we always end one with the Bible verse. And I think I'm just gonna go with one of Phil's favorites, because all of us in here are blessed to work in the outdoor industry and some fashion or make jokes about it or sell stuff for it or shoot stuff on video. And one of Phil's favorite verses was Orders from headquarters, boys. Acts 10:13. And there came a voice to him. Rise, Peter. Kill and eat. That's what we're doing. That's what we do every day. We're just out there making food because it's delicious. Lots of it.
Willie Robertson
God's groceries said that that was the creator.
