1. The Great Monkey Escape & Media Hysteria

• Opening Banter: The guys dive in with news about a truck full of laboratory monkeys escaping after an accident in Mississippi, referencing wild reports of monkeys infected with hepatitis C, Covid, and herpes.
  • Si: “What people don’t know is that monkeys will kill you. Like, they’re not as safe.” [00:35]
  • Phil: “Well a monkey truck crashed…how come things keep happening that have happened in the movies?” [00:58, 01:03]

  • Si: “Whoever's in charge of my version of the Truman show, just keep this thing running.” [02:37]
• Southern Hunting Humor: Mississippi hunters, open season references, and what would happen if someone bagged a monkey.
  • Phil: “If they know hunting seasons open and there’s one monkey to kill accordingly, it’s a bad time to be that monkey.” [03:12]
  • Rucker: “If you’re in a deer stand, see said monkey walk out and shoot him, they’ll probably take you to jail for it.” [03:36]

• Parenting & Amazon Packages: Rucker hilariously describes how his home is now overrun with Amazon deliveries courtesy of his wife, and how he’s (mostly) okay with it.

Transcript

[Si Robertson]

Foreign. What's up with the monkeys?

[Phil Robertson]

I don't know, but I love it. I saw Steven Ridley post about it last night. Well, I'm trying to figure out where Steven Ridley lives.

[Si Robertson]

Who is Steven Ridley?

[Phil Robertson]

Former running back for lsu.

[Johnny D]

What's going on with the monkeys?

[Phil Robertson]

One however many Super Bowls running the ball for Tom Brady.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah, that Ridley.

[Rucker]

Yeah, I thought.

[Phil Robertson]

I thought he was Ridley's. He had read.

[Si Robertson]

Then I saw there was a monkey and a spirit. Halloween running around, running amok. And you would expect it to be fake being in that store.

[Rucker]

What people don't know is that monkeys will kill you. Like, they're not as safe.

[Phil Robertson]

Especially if I got hepatitis C, Covid, and whatever else all these monkeys from Tulane have.

[Johnny D]

Wait, Ty.

[Si Robertson]

Have you not heard? Well, apparently we've started.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, we're running.

[Si Robertson]

Started the clock. We were just having.

[Phil Robertson]

Welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen.

[Si Robertson]

We were having.

[Johnny D]

Oh, my God. A monkey epidemic going on.

[Si Robertson]

There's a lot of news out there.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, a monkey. A monkey truck crashed.

[Si Robertson]

A guy tagged me on.

[Phil Robertson]

How come things keep happening that have happened in the movies?

[Si Robertson]

I don't know, man.

[Phil Robertson]

We got a monkey truck crashing. They get out. Who knows what's about to start. People stealing stuff from the museum out there in France.

[Si Robertson]

I've been to that museum.

[Phil Robertson]

Lou, the Italian.

[Si Robertson]

I actually had an exhibit in that museum. They roped it off and everything.

[Phil Robertson]

For you.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I puked.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh.

[Si Robertson]

I was not feeling well.

[Phil Robertson]

They, like, take pictures of it. Like, was it abstract?

[Si Robertson]

They just roped it off while some guy mopped it up. And then I walked by. Mona Lisa.

[Phil Robertson]

See ya. Why'd you puke?

[Johnny D]

This was a long story. A truckload of monkeys to crash.

[Phil Robertson]

40 monkeys going somewhere. Two lane was sending monkeys somewhere. I don't really know, but they had hepatitis C.

[Rucker]

Oh, they had. They injected the monkeys with these.

[Si Robertson]

They got a bunch of.

[Rucker]

These were study monkeys.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Or were they just sick?

[Rucker]

Oh, that's.

[Si Robertson]

Well, I've already learned that people take all sorts of animals to the veterinarian.

[Rucker]

This is how Planet of the Apes started again.

[Phil Robertson]

Why are we. Are we perhaps living in a simulation?

[Rucker]

Well, that was going to be my question.

[Phil Robertson]

Is it possible?

[Rucker]

Where.

[Phil Robertson]

Who's controlling me? Because once a day I got something going on.

[Rucker]

Look, I have a friend that tries to, you know, he's big on the. Oh, this is a simulation. My thing is, if it is, why did my life have to suck so bad? Like, could we not have programmed something a little bit better that you have.

[Phil Robertson]

Not just turned it Off, Right. That's what I'm saying.

[Rucker]

Oh, this guy, he's. His life is good.

[Phil Robertson]

Could you please have control alt. Deleted me a few times?

[Si Robertson]

Whoever's in charge of my version of the Truman show, just keep this thing running.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, you're doing pretty.

[Si Robertson]

Having an all right time here on planet Earth.

[Phil Robertson]

I'm talking about BC.

[Rucker]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

I'm not talking about A.D. i'm talking about BC. So.

[Rucker]

Well, yeah, beforehand. Yeah, I definitely now keep it running. I mean, we got there.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, we're fine.

[Si Robertson]

But yeah, some guy, Matthew Irvin, send it on Instagram, said y' all got to look at these monkeys that escape from the truck.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, let's look at it.

[Rucker]

Is he related to.

[Phil Robertson]

I think there's all I thought. I think I saw last night. There's only one left.

[Si Robertson]

If he's related to Michael Irvin, then I'm related to Terrell.

[Phil Robertson]

Can you imagine the people and central Mississippi? Because I think that's where it happened. Somewhere around Natchez, maybe. If they know hunting seasons open and there's one monkey to kill accordingly, it's a bad time to be that monkey.

[Rucker]

Oh, you gotta. You gotta be the guy that. That tags that monkey.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, and then. Yeah, but I mean, is that not like human?

[Rucker]

Well, here's the sad part is if you're in a deer stand, you see said monkey walk out and you shoot him. They're probably going to try to take you to jail for it.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah, they'll probably.

[Si Robertson]

There's no rules.

[Johnny D]

They'll probably put you in jail.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, no. Update. Oh, three monkeys still on the loose.

[Si Robertson]

According to The Associated Press. Three monkey. They've got 21 of them.

[Phil Robertson]

These monkeys had Covid, hepatitis C and herpes. Lord, I apologize, but why you gonna give a monkey herpes, man?

[Si Robertson]

Also, it just ain't right.

[Phil Robertson]

If he gets it himself, that's fine. But maybe if he's a promiscuous monkey, that's fine.

[Si Robertson]

A rough life.

[Rucker]

He didn't get it himself.

[Si Robertson]

I don't know how much.

[Phil Robertson]

And we wonder how Covid got started.

[Rucker]

There we go. Here we go.

[Phil Robertson]

It was nowhere then. It was everywhere. I just think it was perhaps a truck full of humans instead of a truck full of monkeys.

[Si Robertson]

Monkeys.

[Rucker]

Boy, we're about to get into some.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, there were two lane monkeys. So they were smart.

[Phil Robertson]

They were green wave, man.

[Johnny D]

I don't.

[Phil Robertson]

I don't know if they were sending. I don't know if two lanes on the road this week and they were like, send them to a football game or they're playing Mississippi State or, you know, maybe. Maybe they were trying to get out and save Brian Kelly. I don't really know, man. It's. He could be a monkey king.

[Si Robertson]

Well, last year those.

[Phil Robertson]

I've been watching paw patrol last two days. It's fine, man. Oh, yeah, like one weird one about a crown and a monkey king or something. I don't know.

[Si Robertson]

Last year, the monkeys escaped from South Carolina. There was 43 of them.

[Phil Robertson]

How do you monkeys.

[Rucker]

Wait a minute. This happens once a year.

[Si Robertson]

Because they're monkey.

[Phil Robertson]

These ain't cats.

[Si Robertson]

These are monkeys. They got.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, can we go back to mice? Like, whatever happened to the white mice that, you know, I'm not okay with.

[Rucker]

Them giving the monkeys hepatitis.

[Johnny D]

This is scary.

[Si Robertson]

Give it to us.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, what about you infecting animals with all this crap. Then they, they, you know, have a crash there. They're loose.

[Rucker]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

On the puppet. Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Well, monkeys can use a key to like, they just turn the door.

[Phil Robertson]

That is one problem. Monkeys, they in fact have thumbs. Motor things are out because of a lack of a thumb. But not, Not.

[Rucker]

They just putting these things in an 18 wheeler trailer and like I haul the monkeys.

[Phil Robertson]

Sheriff's deputies euthanized five monkeys that got loose.

[Si Robertson]

Euthanize, a strong term for a sheriff's department.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. They killed them?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Rucker]

Euthanized means we shot them.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, they killed them. And I'm sure somebody representing the monkeys.

[Johnny D]

That's bad.

[Phil Robertson]

Three. Three other monkeys that escaped were still loose.

[Si Robertson]

What you think they're doing right now?

[Phil Robertson]

I'm trying to figure out why they got herpes.

[Si Robertson]

How did this happen?

[Phil Robertson]

Trying to scratch that itch.

[Rucker]

They're like, I don't really remember how I got here.

[Phil Robertson]

I mean, I mean, that's a rough life.

[Johnny D]

Last thing I remember is I was picking a piece of fruit off of a limb.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. The next thing you.

[Rucker]

I'm in the middle of nowhere, Mississippi with herpes.

[Si Robertson]

Talk about a bad wake up. I'm down here in Africa, chilling, having a good time, eating a banana. Next thing you know, you're in the armpit of Mississippi.

[Phil Robertson]

I end up in Woodville, Mississippi, next to Illusions, the gentleman club on Highway 61. And I got herpes.

[Rucker]

Right.

[Phil Robertson]

That's a story as old as time.

[Rucker]

Well, I was going to say that. That's a story many humans could tell.

[Si Robertson]

Only around these parts. That's weird.

[Phil Robertson]

You couldn't at least give the monkeys like a bush light? I mean, at all the things you could give them monkeys, you gave them herpes.

[Si Robertson]

Like, partner sung up on this Y'.

[Phil Robertson]

All, that's just wrong, man.

[Si Robertson]

I gotta ask. I got a lot of questions to ask of why we did that.

[Phil Robertson]

And why are those three diseases traveling together? One like.

[Rucker]

Well, I mean, you could. One could argue that there's people that suffer from all three of those diseases at the same time.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, I made Tulane. You were supposed to be a school full of learned doctors. Maybe. What are we doing Tulane? Like, I was actually kind of rooting for your foot football coach to come to lsu, but now I got some real questions, like, what is going on.

[Si Robertson]

In the middle of.

[Phil Robertson]

And is there not a better way to transport monkeys than in an 18 year?

[Si Robertson]

Well, that.

[Rucker]

That's my.

[Phil Robertson]

There's got to be.

[Si Robertson]

No, that's the only way to transport 21 monkeys.

[Phil Robertson]

Let them drive.

[Si Robertson]

Give me a better option.

[Rucker]

You could fit 40 dudes on a coach bus. I mean, why can't you? 21 monkeys on a bus.

[Si Robertson]

What's the difference?

[Johnny D]

Training.

[Rucker]

If you. If you treated the monkeys better, they wouldn't have ran away.

[Johnny D]

That's right.

[Si Robertson]

They didn't run away. The 18 wheeler tumped over, and they looked outside and saw trees again and said, we. This is where I was meant to be. Then they probably started singing songs from a Disney movie and felt alive again for the first time.

[Rucker]

Depending on how you tell that story, it's either a really, really good, beautiful thing, or it's absolutely terrifying.

[Phil Robertson]

I hate it. Got to the point that it did. Sheriff Johnson said, no, you don't. Well, sure, you just got to go on a safari in Mississippi. You don't hate that, man.

[Si Robertson]

But look. Hey, look. And then over in Plano, Texas, the people that are not from the south are just thinking, we're wild right now.

[Phil Robertson]

Also, if you're the driver of said monkeys, you left Tulane and you got to central Mississippi, but you fell asleep.

[Rucker]

Is that what they said?

[Phil Robertson]

Ain't but a few hours down the road.

[Rucker]

They said that he fell asleep and wrecked.

[Phil Robertson]

That's what this article says.

[Rucker]

Oh, my goodness.

[Si Robertson]

Oh. Oh, no. Time out, y'.

[Phil Robertson]

All.

[Si Robertson]

We got to move on, because there's another monkey in Plano.

[Phil Robertson]

Plano, Texas.

[Si Robertson]

Plano, Texas. You know the race.

[Phil Robertson]

That's one of them cities around Dallas, right? Yeah, that's part of that, right?

[Si Robertson]

Dallas, it's one of them cities in city.

[Rucker]

Anyway, he used to live right by Plano the monkey.

[Si Robertson]

There was, you know, them spirit Halloween stores that pop up for a month and all your rundown grocery stores, A monkey was on the loose in a spirit Halloween.

[Rucker]

Oh, there's a Video Martin.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, wait.

[Si Robertson]

Imagine you took the boys to get their paw patrol costume and you look up and see this. Martin. The monkey could be seen.

[Rucker]

Absolutely.

[Si Robertson]

That's awesome.

[Phil Robertson]

But that's somebody's monkey. He got drawers on.

[Si Robertson]

The monkey is wearing a dog.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Running around how I would have thought it was on purpose.

[Rucker]

He's just having a good time. I guarantee you he doesn't have herpes.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, that's not intentional. Well, he made that. Maybe. What? I got it covered up.

[Si Robertson]

Turned into a.

[Phil Robertson]

It turns out though, why do. Why do I have to get to the bottom of this article before they say the. The driver was mistaken and that none of these monkeys were actually infected? How come I got to get that far? Why not lead with that? Why did you lead when they got herpes? Hepatitis?

[Si Robertson]

Cuz, to be fair, you two over there have been talk diseases for 10 minutes and it did get every article. And that's how the media works.

[Rucker]

They got us.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, well, I mean, how can you not. It was the first line of the paragraph. And then you get three quarters of the way down there, like, nah, man, we just kidding. So these monkeys weren't infected.

[Rucker]

So they were just happy monkeys.

[Phil Robertson]

They. I mean, allegedly. But you know what, you don't have to have to hunt monkeys. A duck stamp. But you know what you got to have to hunt? Ducks. A duck stamp. And if you need one, hop on over to Duck Stamp.com duck get yours today.

[Johnny D]

That's right.

[Phil Robertson]

And then that way you go hunting ducks, but you ain't got to have one to hunt monkeys.

[Johnny D]

That's right. You can hunt monkeys without it.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. What's wrong, Johnny D?

[Si Robertson]

Hey, man, what do you have to have to hunt a monkey?

[Phil Robertson]

I don't know, but they.

[Rucker]

No, you can't do it.

[Phil Robertson]

They've got specialists set up with monkey traps, right?

[Rucker]

Hey, nah, we ain't doing no monkey traps.

[Si Robertson]

Monkey traps in Mississippi, That's a raccoon trap.

[Rucker]

Worry about, put a pile of bananas on. Put some bananas on a corn pile and sit there and wait.

[Phil Robertson]

They set up traps with food to try and catch the three monkeys. He said deputies have no intentions of euthanizing them.

[Si Robertson]

That monkey's gone, man.

[Rucker]

You know what that really means?

[Si Robertson]

You know how fast and long a monkey can run? That monkey's in Florida by now.

[Phil Robertson]

Right?

[Rucker]

I don't know.

[Phil Robertson]

Okay, Broke out of the jail, made it to Atlanta quickly.

[Rucker]

Does it say what kind of monkey.

[Phil Robertson]

We'Re rhesus monkeys, not Reese's, because that'd be way cooler if they were made out of peanut butter, but that's it. Yeah. Rhesus monkeys.

[Rucker]

What kind of monkey is that? Are we talking closer to chimpanzee or closer to.

[Si Robertson]

What are you talking about?

[Phil Robertson]

He wants to know different kinds of monkey looks.

[Si Robertson]

It's a 16 pound regular monkey.

[Phil Robertson]

Regulation monkey.

[Si Robertson]

Regulation monkey. That doesn't.

[Rucker]

Answer the question.

[Si Robertson]

It ain't like a gorilla.

[Johnny D]

Yeah. Oh, that's.

[Rucker]

There's different kinds of money. I was working on treatment centers and lady that was speaking there works at the zoo. She brought a monkey.

[Si Robertson]

It's that kind of monkey. Just a regular old monkey.

[Rucker]

Oh.

[Si Robertson]

Nothing special about a Reese's monkey.

[Rucker]

Those are really cool.

[Phil Robertson]

Special.

[Rucker]

Look at them teeth.

[Johnny D]

Either a gorilla or either orangutan.

[Phil Robertson]

Look at them.

[Si Robertson]

If a gorilla escapes in Mississippi, I ain't ever driving through there again.

[Rucker]

I kind of always did want a pet monkey.

[Phil Robertson]

What if one of them makes it like all the way across the river to Angola?

[Rucker]

Oh, that is worst case scenario. Actually not. They probably take good care of the monkey.

[Phil Robertson]

They probably imagine you're in Angola and then all of a sudden a monkey hops a fence and now you got it.

[Johnny D]

And then he walks in with an alligator on his arm.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Okay.

[Si Robertson]

As a man who's visited Angola, never stayed, you ain't getting in there. Even if you a monkey. Them fences are tall and got a lot of sharp stuff on the top of them.

[Phil Robertson]

You don't think a monkey could get in?

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah, he could.

[Si Robertson]

Monkey ain't nothing in or out of.

[Johnny D]

That joint knowing monkey could get in.

[Rucker]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Si Robertson]

Now, until a monkey got wings, he ain't getting in there.

[Phil Robertson]

What could get in Angola?

[Si Robertson]

A bad person for doing something bad. Well, you ain't getting in there unless you on a bus or in a car and you got a badge.

[Phil Robertson]

That's. That's a. That's it.

[Si Robertson]

It's on lockdown.

[Phil Robertson]

Except for ducks, because they duck hunting on the place. Well, yeah, you can fly over it.

[Johnny D]

So it doesn't have a dome and a kiss. White part.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Big dump.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Rucker]

How'd the fish get.

[Johnny D]

And a bunch of other kind of fish.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, they hauled him in on that bus.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

A truck that was allowed in with a tube in the back of it.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Interesting man. Also media. Terrible job leading with that. They're infected, but then 3/4 of the way down saying they're not infected.

[Johnny D]

That's why you can't trust the media.

[Rucker]

I knew side tell them so.

[Phil Robertson]

Because I'm not a.

[Johnny D]

That's why you can't trust the media.

[Phil Robertson]

I Have a hard stance against what PETA actually stands for. But why. Why are we transporting monkeys with diseases? Like. I don't. I don't get that. I don't. Well, there's got to be better ways to study this, too, than injecting a monkey full of something.

[Rucker]

So I think about the driver who, like, crashes his. His truckload of monkeys, and then his immediate response to everyone is, they're infected with hepatitis C. Covid.

[Phil Robertson]

I just hate that his defense is I fell asleep. I mean, you're not that far from New Orleans. I mean, you got to know this job was coming.

[Rucker]

I think you got a drug test. The driver. I mean, really?

[Si Robertson]

Councilor Rucker coming in with the time to. Here's a cup. I'll see you in a second.

[Rucker]

Yeah, this is standard.

[Phil Robertson]

I mean, sop, baby.

[Rucker]

Yeah. Yeah. We gotta find out.

[Si Robertson]

The news is a wild place.

[Phil Robertson]

Monkeys.

[Johnny D]

I didn't like the sound of it.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, sorry. You went deer hunting yesterday. Did you see any monkeys?

[Johnny D]

Nope.

[Phil Robertson]

No monkeys. Because I know Dan the butler seen them.

[Johnny D]

What he really saw was a. Was a big old possum.

[Si Robertson]

He might have seen a monkey.

[Johnny D]

It could be with a big smile.

[Si Robertson]

You never know these days.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, how was your deer hunt? That's your first hunt of the year, huh?

[Johnny D]

That was a good one.

[Phil Robertson]

Was it?

[Johnny D]

Yep. I was. I was just given a new rifle. 30. 30.

[Si Robertson]

30, 30.

[Johnny D]

And then the first deer I get a shot shoot at is a nine point.

[Rucker]

Well, one sit, one kill you.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, you killed him. You said shot at, so I didn't.

[Johnny D]

Oh, ain't no. Ain't no at.

[Phil Robertson]

You didn't text no picture.

[Johnny D]

Yeah, they did. They did. That'll be out later after they put it in or whatever they're going to put it in. But we were watching does and yearlings, you know, they had a little bitty thing. And then Stone says, good. Great. Look at the size of that deer. As soon as he said he looked through binoculars, I looked through a third Thursday scope. I said, buck.

[Phil Robertson]

Buck deer.

[Johnny D]

He said, shoot him.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Oh, man.

[Si Robertson]

And you popped it.

[Johnny D]

And I popped him at 90 yards.

[Si Robertson]

Have you eaten them yet?

[Johnny D]

Nope. We're gonna leave him hanging 25 days.

[Si Robertson]

25 days?

[Johnny D]

Yeah. 25 days, huh? Yeah. Seems excited. Let him hang in a cooler 25 days, and then everything will be real tender.

[Si Robertson]

You didn't know that record.

[Rucker]

I know you leave them hanging. I didn't think you did it for 25 days, though.

[Johnny D]

No, you ain't even go further than that, Stone.

[Si Robertson]

Kind of like them trees on the Lord of the Rings. Anything worth doing, worth taking a while.

[Rucker]

To do it right.

[Si Robertson]

He going to let it hang for 25 when he cooks, it's like six hours. That's how he operates. And I appreciate it. So a good hunt.

[Johnny D]

We had deer all around, around us.

[Phil Robertson]

Danny. Ducks?

[Johnny D]

Nope, didn't see any duck.

[Phil Robertson]

Hear any duck.

[Si Robertson]

You know, y' all, look at that smile.

[Phil Robertson]

Look at them teeth, man.

[Johnny D]

Look at them teeth. Oh, that's the first thing I was gonna do, let you t show. But when I look at him.

[Rucker]

Oh, yeah, look at him.

[Johnny D]

Hey, when I look.

[Rucker]

Yeah, there we go.

[Phil Robertson]

Hot tamale. Look at that.

[Si Robertson]

I don't even care about deer. Yeah, that's phenomenal, man. It ain't even dark yet.

[Johnny D]

No, I shot him like the 20 to 6.

[Phil Robertson]

There you go. Good for you, man.

[Johnny D]

It wasn't. It wasn't much time. We went in real early. We didn't want to spook them.

[Phil Robertson]

Look at them teeth out. I love it.

[Rucker]

That is awesome.

[Phil Robertson]

Rucker, what you think about our man's teeth?

[Rucker]

I'm impressed. Yeah, I think it's good. I, like, got you some teeth, some new chompers. You're able to smile like that?

[Johnny D]

Yeah. It took two hours to pull 13 and then put 24 back.

[Phil Robertson]

That ain't bad.

[Johnny D]

It was a good trade.

[Rucker]

I feel like it would take me a lot longer.

[Phil Robertson]

I'm glad your truck driver didn't crash. And then you get out on the side of the road, you know, looking like a monkey.

[Si Robertson]

He didn't have to go through Mississippi to get there.

[Rucker]

You do you do this in town? You'd got them done here?

[Phil Robertson]

No, no. Springfield, Missouri.

[Rucker]

Okay.

[Si Robertson]

Can't get chompers like that just anywhere, man.

[Rucker]

No, no, those are. Those are next level. They're high dollar chomp specialists.

[Johnny D]

Well, these are the healing teeth. I gotta go back two months, three months, whenever this heals up, then they put the permanent ones in.

[Rucker]

Oh, those ain't even the final product.

[Johnny D]

Oh, no, that is final one.

[Si Robertson]

We have done three episodes about your teeth, and you're just now telling us this?

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, we're just not telling us.

[Si Robertson]

I thought we were going to have.

[Phil Robertson]

Another set of teeth.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

What are you gonna do with those, huh?

[Rucker]

They recycle them.

[Si Robertson]

They let other.

[Phil Robertson]

They're gonna put them on a monkey.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, no, no, no, no. And ladies and gentlemen, please check out eBay.com. honeyhole Tackle Shop. We'll be selling updates.

[Johnny D]

Teeth or update.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh.

[Rucker]

How much you think you could get for size teeth?

[Phil Robertson]

You know, surprisingly, probably more than you should, right?

[Rucker]

Starting bid there.

[Phil Robertson]

Sigh.

[Si Robertson]

Would you ever sell your teeth?

[Rucker]

No.

[Phil Robertson]

No.

[Johnny D]

You talking about trash?

[Si Robertson]

I'm talking about these.

[Johnny D]

No. I'm amazed at what the teeth go through in a. In a lifetime.

[Rucker]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny D]

Because what I had in my head was junk. You know, they worn, you know, and like when I was young, I brushed my teeth with soda and salt. And literally, I mean, just four grooves in it because I. I brushed them too hard.

[Si Robertson]

You brushed your teeth? Oh, baking soda.

[Johnny D]

Baking soda and salt. That would. That was. That used to be the white dirt.

[Si Robertson]

And you brushed your teeth with that?

[Johnny D]

I bet I brushed it too hard too, and wore grooves in it.

[Si Robertson]

Colgate got to taste better.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah, I had.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, it happens. Martin, you gonna brush your teeth too hard?

[Phil Robertson]

I don't think so. Rocker.

[Johnny D]

How you can.

[Si Robertson]

How often do you go to the dentist?

[Rucker]

Every time they call me. But I cancel a few times and then they. So here's the thing. Like the dentist office that I go to, people from the church and close friends work there. So it's like I'm always canceling and then they're always trying to strong arm me up there. And you know what I mean? It's like a whole thing. It's a little game that we play, you know?

[Si Robertson]

Sigh. You know how you could check the weather a little more easily With Pure Talk. Because they have all the 5G data you need. Talk, text, whatever you got. And there's a reason, I'm proud to say Pure Talk is my wireless company, because they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. Especially when it comes to supporting our veterans. We talk about veterans all the time in here. Size one. We got listeners that are veterans. We try and support them in any way we can. And this month, Pure Talk is doing their part by supporting canines for Warriors. It's an incredible organization that rescues and trains dogs, then pairs them with veterans struggling with ptsd. These are men and women who serve with honor. But when they come home, that brotherhood, that support network they had, the military, it often disappears. And Canines for Warriors steps in to fill that gap, giving these heroes purpose, companionship, and healing. Which is exactly why Pure Talk, a veteran led company, supports them. Choosing a wireless company has never been easier. You get plenty of talk, text, all the data you need. 5G for just 25 bucks a month. And you're supporting a worthy cause and saving a lot of money. Look, Cy Robertson supports a cell phone company and he even got a cell phone. That's how good they are.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, it's a win, win for everybody. For you, the vets, the dogs. You save money, vets get dogs and you got great coverage. There's, there's, there's nothing easier. Go to PureTalk.comDark to make the switch today. Again, go to PureTalk.com Duck and switch to America's wireless company, PureTalk.

[Rucker]

So I actually just went to the dentist last week.

[Johnny D]

Everything all right?

[Rucker]

Everything's good. I got to get a feeling Rucker's.

[Si Robertson]

The most responsible one out of all of us.

[Johnny D]

That's normal.

[Rucker]

I don't know if I'd say that.

[Si Robertson]

You are when it comes to teeth.

[Rucker]

Yeah, yeah. But I've been, I spent a lifetime of being irresponsible.

[Si Robertson]

So now he's just checking in on his teeth and all that.

[Rucker]

I'm just trying to be a better version today than I once was. You know what I mean? That's in, that's in all areas.

[Si Robertson]

The dentist does shame you when you, you know, skip a few years.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

They're like, hey, it's time for your 6 month checkup. On the text I get, we haven't seen you in four years. And I'm like, been busy also. You scare me every time I go there. It hurts.

[Rucker]

Well, I'll tell you what they did is, is, I mean, it was a blessing. So the first time I went to the dentist in probably 20 years, whenever I first got up here, I went to the dentist office and I was getting ready to leave. I'm like, how much do I owe you? They said, oh, it's taken care of. Somebody's, Somebody's taking care of you for your next three visits. So now, now I feel, I feel that since I was blessed, I should go and, you know, continue to take care of my dental hygiene.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, I thought she was gonna be like, in people in drive thru, you pay for the next people behind you. I don't know where this.

[Rucker]

No, this is. Whenever I first got up here, I wasn't in a position to do that. Now, you know, now I could bless somebody on their teeth. You know what I mean?

[Si Robertson]

But yeah, the drive thru things are a funny one.

[Johnny D]

Pay it forward, is it?

[Si Robertson]

I'm always nervous if somebody pays for mine in front of me. That there's like, you know.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, who's behind you?

[Rucker]

Six kids.

[Si Robertson]

What if it's the dasher's van behind me?

[Phil Robertson]

And I'm like, crap, there's a people mover behind you. Oh, man.

[Si Robertson]

But you know how that always happens. I got this one friend. He will not. He's like, nope, they're trying to bless me. I don't know who's behind me. And he would just take it and smile and say. And say, God bless the person in front of me. And I'm like, really? Is that okay? It's a hot topic of conversation.

[Phil Robertson]

That's interesting. I haven't been the recipient of one of them.

[Si Robertson]

You haven't?

[Phil Robertson]

But I don't eat a lot of fast food other. I mean, I was at Chick Fil a this morning because the boys would not go with their mama. That had to be dad, go Daddy's truck. I was like, all right, whatever.

[Rucker]

Well, they knew they was going to talk you into that. Chick Fil a. Stop.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, they don't care. I mean, I don't care if they'll eat. I'll they. Bacon and eggs from Chick Fil a. It's the wildest thing they heard about their chicken. Not interested.

[Rucker]

Not.

[Phil Robertson]

Not interested. They want that bowl full of eggs that Chick Fil a offers. It's the craziest thing.

[Rucker]

It's the healthiest option. That's good.

[Phil Robertson]

I don't know. They like it. They like the eggs in a bowl. I won't touch a chicken. Mini chicken.

[Si Robertson]

I eat very healthy for breakfast today because I'm going to come clean about something. I got to get this off my chest.

[Rucker]

Hey, this is a safe space.

[Si Robertson]

Yesterday, I had a gas station meat pie for breakfast.

[Phil Robertson]

Praise God.

[Si Robertson]

And then for dinner, I had gas station fried chicken.

[Phil Robertson]

It's not even duck season yet. You're over it. Good for you.

[Si Robertson]

I was running late.

[Phil Robertson]

Did you wash that baby down with a Christmas tree cake?

[Johnny D]

Come on.

[Si Robertson]

No, I did not.

[Phil Robertson]

Come on.

[Si Robertson]

Away from the Christmas tree cake. But I woke up, was going to work. I was like, I got to stop at the gas station. I saw that meat pie. I said, why not?

[Johnny D]

I don't have it.

[Si Robertson]

And then I didn't eat lunch. And then Allison and the kids were off doing something last night.

[Phil Robertson]

I'll say this. A breakfast meat pie is a risky choice because you don't know if they cooked it that morning or it's that there all night.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Because that gas station, 24 7. Yeah, but that meatball was good. And then I was going home. I didn't have anything to eat, and I was like, I'm about to go walk back into the same gas station, eat dinner, and, man, I hope it's a different person working. Yeah, it was.

[Phil Robertson]

It was good.

[Rucker]

Good.

[Si Robertson]

How you like a meat pie burnt.

[Phil Robertson]

Best thing ever come out of city of Natchitoches the meat pies.

[Rucker]

You, I don't know of anything else that's came out of this city.

[Phil Robertson]

What? I got them Christmas.

[Si Robertson]

No chicken pot.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, you got, you got a young. And you, you, you're going.

[Rucker]

Yeah, I'm about to recycle all those, you know, fun things of doing that stuff. You know, I hadn't had to do any of that in a long time.

[Phil Robertson]

Y' all dressing that kid up for Halloween?

[Si Robertson]

Nope.

[Phil Robertson]

Nope. Not even.

[Rucker]

Like, I mean, I say no confidently. I hadn't planned on it, but that doesn't mean that my wife hadn't.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, there's been an Amazon package show up as a little pumpkin or something.

[Rucker]

Oh, there's been endless Amazon packages. It's a non stop Amazon packages. Walmart orders. I mean it's just, it's nonstop.

[Phil Robertson]

So you feel confident she's not going to listen to this?

[Johnny D]

Yeah, no matter.

[Rucker]

She knows that. Hey look, I utilize this as a way to say the things that are on, on my chest.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, go ahead and let them off.

[Rucker]

I love my wife. She's fantastic in every way. You know, I really am blessed. I don't deserve her. And.

[Phil Robertson]

But I got a lot of Amazon packages.

[Rucker]

There's no but. Truth. There is a lot of Amazon packages. But babe, you keep getting them Amazon packages, okay? If it makes you happy. It makes me happy.

[Phil Robertson]

Did you have your house rated of scorpions?

[Rucker]

Hey, you know what I did? I had, I had the exterminator guy come out and he did a spray for not just scorpions but any other, you know, insects or critters that could be getting in the house. I even did the, the 25ft of your yard.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rucker]

You know, and I got to say, I mean I hadn't seen any, any because normally you'd see like, you know, just different little like water bugs every now and again.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Rucker]

Spiders was a big deal on our porch.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Rucker]

You know what I mean?

[Phil Robertson]

Nothing now Chemical desert man wiped out his baby. It is full fumigation. That's good.

[Rucker]

So everything's been good. You know, baby's good, family's good. I will tell you the probably that you talk about going back to 2006. It's been a struggle for me this week because one of my, one of, one of the guys I've known my entire life, I mean I've known him since kindergarten. Is now here and in, in our program. And, and so that, I mean you talk about a bless and this guy knows everything like to every, all of y' all like my Life is a story. This dude was there. We used to get our guns from him and his brother, you know, for various things, you know, protection.

[Phil Robertson]

Very.

[Si Robertson]

I think you were looking for enough areas. Not various.

[Rucker]

Whatever. However you want to word it, you know, But. But it is cool. It takes you back. So, like, he shows up, and he is like, north side Houston. You know what I mean? And. And I'm so far removed from that that, like, it's. It's almost like a blast from the past. And he's like, what's wrong with you? I'm like, I'm a whole new creation. The old is gone. The new has come. That's why you're here. You've seen that, and you got in. Your life took a turn, and you're like, well, maybe. Maybe there's something about this Jesus guy that I need to have a closer relationship with.

[Phil Robertson]

There you go.

[Rucker]

So it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool, man.

[Phil Robertson]

Interesting.

[Rucker]

Last time I saw him, he was in my wedding. He was one of the guys that I had come be one of my groomsmen in my wedding.

[Phil Robertson]

And now he's in the program.

[Rucker]

Now he's in the program.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, man. Good for him. What about. So the north side is the problem in Houston now.

[Rucker]

North and south. Pretty much every side is north.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Rucker]

Pretty much every side has this. But, you know, historically, in Houston, it was, you know, back in the day, you had a major beef between the north side and the south side of Houston. Yeah, right. So north side rock blue, south side rock red. You know, you can fill in the blanks on that.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, but.

[Rucker]

Except for. Anyways.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, but.

[Rucker]

But, like.

[Phil Robertson]

So.

[Rucker]

But. Yeah, so I hail from the north side, so.

[Phil Robertson]

Were you purple?

[Rucker]

No.

[Phil Robertson]

You strike me as a guy with one foot on each line trying to sell stuff to everybody. Back then.

[Rucker]

Back then, I was pretty north side. You know, I was a huge advocate for north side.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Okay. I was just curious.

[Si Robertson]

Advocates, another word, probably.

[Phil Robertson]

I've just always known you as a salesman, so I figured you had a little red, a little blue, kind of just operated as purple.

[Rucker]

You know, when it comes to things like that, you know, people kind of blur the lines a little bit, you know, because it's all about where's the cheapest price, where's the best product.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, There you go.

[Rucker]

And so, you know, talking about worms. Sure.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Let's go with it.

[Rucker]

Sure. Yeah. So you'll kind of, you know, you'll put aside some of your principles for good product at a cheap price.

[Phil Robertson]

Interesting.

[Si Robertson]

Principles.

[Phil Robertson]

No, I got A prop. Yep.

[Si Robertson]

So we got something.

[Johnny D]

All right.

[Rucker]

Yes.

[Si Robertson]

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you pull one of my deals.

[Johnny D]

I like to hug myself on that stupid thing.

[Phil Robertson]

I broke it.

[Johnny D]

Boys.

[Si Robertson]

I'm finally not the only person to break a microphone stand in this room. I hadn't broke one in a long time since they made me start using this new one.

[Rucker]

Well, that's, that's probably why you got that one. Pausing.

[Si Robertson]

What I found out about Keep the camera.

[Rucker]

Keep the cameras rolling.

[Johnny D]

That's cheap.

[Phil Robertson]

[Si Robertson]

After 495 six episodes, I'm now not the only person to break A mic stand.

[Phil Robertson]

I still got a long way to go to catch up with you.

[Si Robertson]

But I'm only like two or three. You break another one, you come in one day and you got a cinder block, a big arm. You're not allowed to touch my.

[Phil Robertson]

It probably be easier if we just drilled a hole in this thing and come out the T. Then you don't have to worry about anything.

[Si Robertson]

Hunter, take notes.

[Rucker]

That was funny, though. I mean, pretty funny.

[Phil Robertson]

If we figured out a way to stash these seven miles of cord up under my feet, it happened. That's the first time one's been around my leg, though. Hey, you know, that's fine.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, it's worth prop. This is a good prop.

[Phil Robertson]

I was getting this prop. I'm going to read the letter that come to us.

[Si Robertson]

Side, do you not recognize?

[Phil Robertson]

Several years ago, my husband and I purchased Phil and Kay's high school yearbook when they were in Palestine, Texas. Years later, I took the yearbook and they both graciously signed their picks and we laughed over the memories it brought up. It brought smiles and laughter to them both. I'd like to return this yearbook to the family. As Phil said, he hadn't looked at a yearbook in years, and he and Kay were so young and pretty. I'd rather not hand it to just anyone. But at our age, we have to plan our drives about three hours from home. If John, Luke, or Willie or any of the boys would like to have it, please contact me from this message. Thank you in advance. Janice Brooks. Now, we generally don't say people's last name, but as a thank you, I feel like this is. Yeah, I feel like that's cool.

[Si Robertson]

I really like Janice, by the way.

[Phil Robertson]

So Janice and your husband. I don't have your husband's name, but thank you so much for this because, man, there's some gold in here. Jerry, There's. This happened. 1964 happens to be the year that our friend right there, Silas Merritt, was a sophomore. And so what I know you said. I mean, this is how old it is. Look, it's got K's business card in here. Back when K used to carry a Duck Commander business card, I thought you.

[Si Robertson]

Were going to say the rebel.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, and you know what? You know what, Case? Well, the rebel flag is what it is. This is actually totally normal for me being a Westminer High School rebel, so.

[Johnny D]

Right.

[Phil Robertson]

This is.

[Si Robertson]

I'm just saying that that's clearly. Yeah, this cattle can't do that no more.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, yeah, but by the way, to me, this is nothing but High school. So all y' all that want to turn this into something else, this is just what our high school colors were. But K's business card says Phil's personal assistant.

[Rucker]

That is old school.

[Si Robertson]

Good for K. I used to be one of those.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, man. But anyway, so let's just thumb through here. They've got some. They've got some highlights here.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we've got some sticky notes in there I'm very excited about.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, we'll get a way to get these up on the big screen if you're watching on YouTube.

[Si Robertson]

But look at Phil Robertson, senior favorite.

[Rucker]

Look at that senior favorite Phil.

[Si Robertson]

Did he just win an award for being the favorite?

[Phil Robertson]

I'm trying to figure out why he did it on a knee. No, he's changing the vinyl out. That is the senior favorites of Gail. I'm not gonna say Gail's last name because I don't know. I don't want anybody to get mad. And Phil, they're just. And then there's Mr. And Ms. Rebel.

[Si Robertson]

It's not even like the favorite to win an award. It's just.

[Rucker]

No, they're just the favorite seniors. Yeah, like, they're just the they. That's back in the good old days when we pick favorites. Okay.

[Phil Robertson]

Look at this guy, Rucker.

[Rucker]

Oh, my.

[Si Robertson]

I feel like we're missing out.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, it's such a small picture. I mean, I'll hand you this yearbook here in just a second. That way you can show. Sigh. But all the pages are marked. You look like a normal guy. And did the teeth look the same.

[Si Robertson]

As they do today, though?

[Phil Robertson]

K. Caraway. Look at Kay's hair. Look at the volume on that hair, man. Look how wide it.

[Rucker]

Oh, yeah, that. That was back whenever the. The bigger the hair, the.

[Phil Robertson]

The closer to Jesus.

[Rucker]

Closer to Jesus.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. I got a bit better question.

[Si Robertson]

Is there a football photo of our. Our monster man here, look at.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, man, look at. Here's Phil. So this was his senior one. Phil Robertson. Football, baseball, track, Spanish Club president. What? Bill was the Spanish Club. I didn't know Bill was the Spanish Club president. He was in the Key Club. He was a senior favorite, and he was an outstanding freshman and sophomore. So apparently junior year didn't go so well for our boy.

[Rucker]

PR hey, I'm sure there's some people out there that's always been curious. What is the Key Club? When I say people, I mean me. I'm from the projects.

[Phil Robertson]

I'm going to have to. I'm going to have to go look it up because I believe the Key.

[Si Robertson]

Club would be like a choir.

[Phil Robertson]

Is that what Key club was?

[Si Robertson]

I'm going to look it up real fast.

[Rucker]

I don't think we had those in the school.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, that's kind of fun how that all lays out. Phil was a senior. Kay was a junior. Junior side was a sophomore.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no, not a choir. Never mind.

[Rucker]

It has nothing to do with the choir.

[Si Robertson]

It's just making the world a better place.

[Johnny D]

There's all all kind of signs and going into towns about key clubs.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, look at here.

[Rucker]

Spanish club thing is interesting.

[Phil Robertson]

K's homecoming picture. But you know who walked her side? Do you remember who walked K on homecoming? Because I feel would have been playing in the game.

[Si Robertson]

It's a great point.

[Phil Robertson]

So a young man named Harold Robertson walked. So size. Is Harold the oldest next though? Next though. Jimmy Frank was oldest.

[Si Robertson]

I just want to picture the monster man.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, the. The football's coming.

[Johnny D]

That's so crazy.

[Phil Robertson]

What's that? This walk down memory lane.

[Johnny D]

We were playing. So how Walker.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Is that the game?

[Phil Robertson]

This is the senior. So Phil is somewhere here.

[Si Robertson]

Is that the game they lost? How many did you lose by Phil?

[Rucker]

Phil would have been starting quarterback.

[Phil Robertson]

Here's monster man. Sophomore quarterback.

[Rucker]

Number 22, Silas Roberts.

[Phil Robertson]

Number 22 in the programs. But number one in your heart. Emmett Smith. You were second.

[Rucker]

Hold on.

[Si Robertson]

You were a quarterback?

[Johnny D]

Yeah, yeah, I played all kind of man.

[Rucker]

I was a stud.

[Phil Robertson]

And there's K putting the chop suey on and her cheerleading pose.

[Rucker]

Oh, yeah, I've seen that.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, that one's in the tour.

[Si Robertson]

You never told us you were the quarterback.

[Johnny D]

Oh, positions.

[Phil Robertson]

The loss Espanols. So this must. Oh, sigh. You were in the Los Espanol?

[Johnny D]

Yeah, I took Spanish too.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

You?

[Johnny D]

I learned just enough to get my face slapped.

[Si Robertson]

By who?

[Johnny D]

By the girls.

[Phil Robertson]

Whatever.

[Rucker]

I was utilized.

[Phil Robertson]

Whatever did you say in Spanish?

[Johnny D]

That's it. I was supposed to. I thought I was saying that one thing.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Johnny D]

And they told me when they slapped me in the face, I said another.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, there you go.

[Johnny D]

I said, well, hey, you know Rucker.

[Phil Robertson]

You know a lot of Spanish.

[Rucker]

I know enough to.

[Si Robertson]

You're Mexican.

[Phil Robertson]

Your face.

[Rucker]

No, not get my face slap. I know enough to buy and sell drugs. That's about it. I mean, if we're being honest. I mean, past life before Christy, you know.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Go find that. Go. Go show Sigh himself in football. Number 22 about.

[Si Robertson]

I'm trying to. Oh, there's Phil.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, it's crazy, man. It's a cool walk. I mean, I. It's not my Memories because I wasn't there. But it is kind of fun to see.

[Johnny D]

Sitting here trying. Y' all think of what Gail's last name is.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, the first one. Yeah, it's in there. I just didn't want to say it. Yeah, I didn't. Because. I don't know, you know, we like to protect people's privacy and all that stuff, so. Yeah, I didn't want to.

[Rucker]

Sophomore quarterback. So that means that you were probably. Was Phil. Phil's playing quarterback in high school.

[Phil Robertson]

Seniors.

[Rucker]

A senior. So you were. You were back in. You were backing up field. They had the.

[Si Robertson]

That's the monster, man.

[Johnny D]

That's the monster, man.

[Rucker]

Yeah, they had the two Robertsons at qb.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Wait. Oh, we're going to have Joey show him Harold walking. K, too. That's kind of funny. I never knew Harold looking like that, so I didn't know Harold well, anyway, I only met him a few times.

[Johnny D]

But you missed it. Hey, him and Jim Frank both was mean. It was mean.

[Si Robertson]

Look at you.

[Phil Robertson]

I had a lot more dealings with Jimmy Frank when he wrote that book about Phil the first time, that Legend of the Duck Commander or whatever. So I had a lot more dealings with Jimmy Frank. I only met Harold in passing a couple of times.

[Si Robertson]

So I want to meet some of.

[Johnny D]

Your friends, that is.

[Si Robertson]

Who was the guy you fought and then became best friends with?

[Johnny D]

Charles. Charles something. I can't remember his last name.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, that's gonna be the tough one.

[Johnny D]

He was a little on the chubby side.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, that narrows it down.

[Rucker]

What, y' all weren't in the same.

[Si Robertson]

It was hard to be chubby back in.

[Johnny D]

It was.

[Phil Robertson]

If you were chubby, you were wealthy.

[Johnny D]

First day of high school. Okay, so they're pushing me and him on each other, right? I'm sitting there talking to him. I said, hey, look, can't you see what they're doing? Hey. Next. I know. Oh, yeah, he sucker punched.

[Rucker]

He stole off on you.

[Phil Robertson]

Miss Janice. Thank you. Yeah, for real. Thank you. You didn't have to give this back to the family, but thank you. That is really cool. It'll end up in our museum somewhere. I'm not exactly sure where it will end up in the museum, but it will be in there. It is funny. A lot of those pictures we already have from. I guess they were scanned images from that maybe that are up on the wall, like in the first few rooms of the tour or the museum, because kind of the walk through memory lane. But it's fun to see them in their original documented form.

[Rucker]

So also, that Yearbook's in really good shape.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, they did a really good job, Charles. I'm a little disappointed that in that yearbook nobody wrote, I'm the first one to sign your cart.

[Johnny D]

Him, he was a little fatter back that.

[Phil Robertson]

That was always the thing. It was high school. The whoever got your yearbook. I'm the first one to sign your crack. And they'd sign it on the spine of the yearbook. Well, that because low hanging fruit. Right.

[Rucker]

Well, but signing yearbooks was a thing. Did they not do that in 64? They didn't sign yearbooks.

[Phil Robertson]

I. I didn't see K and Phil signed it.

[Johnny D]

Well, I like all the fans they had in there the most. Probably the most be most successful.

[Phil Robertson]

Did you win any of them?

[Johnny D]

I don't remember what you.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, that was your sophomore year, so you wouldn't have been up for any of them.

[Si Robertson]

Stone's got all these young kids coming down with them to hunt.

[Phil Robertson]

Yep.

[Si Robertson]

Luckily for them, because they're gonna forget to go to the post office and get their duck stamp.

[Phil Robertson]

You know what? They're not gonna forget their cell phone.

[Si Robertson]

There you go, Jacob. We're here to save your hide, my friend.

Whenever he shows up, you want him going in a hurry. So get your stuff out. It's that. It's that.

[Johnny D]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

These are my These are my Eagle baseball shoes. I'm going to my first baseball game as a dad this afternoon.

[Rucker]

Okay.

[Si Robertson]

We're hoping for a walk, boys.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, you got the wrong logo if you're going as a dad.

[Si Robertson]

What does that mean?

[Phil Robertson]

You got to go get that big end on them white shoes if you go in as a dad. New balances, man. White new balance.

[Si Robertson]

See, what you've mistaken me for is a regular dad. I'm a cool dad.

[Rucker]

Who's playing Ben.

[Phil Robertson]

That's why you wear sweatpants and Jays.

[Rucker]

Is he. Is he.

[Si Robertson]

I'm wearing sweatpants because it's freezing. I. I didn't check the weather yesterday and wore shorts and a T shirt, and it was, you know, for. Our friends. North are about to laugh at us. It was like, 58 degrees and windy outside, and I thought I was gonna die.

[Phil Robertson]

It was cold yesterday. It was. Well, it was only cold because it's the first day that we've had like that in quite some time. But that wind had a cut to it about 25. Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I kept having to go outside, and I was like, I just. I want to go. I was about to book a flight somewhere south.

[Phil Robertson]

Quickly, get out of here.

[Rucker]

So Ben's crushing it out there, man.

[Si Robertson]

Crushing it is. Well, we're. It's our first time to ever play baseball.

[Phil Robertson]

We're going.

[Si Robertson]

We're getting way better. Great improvement has occurred.

[Rucker]

How old has been.

[Phil Robertson]

Deep learning curve, huh?

[Si Robertson]

Nine.

[Rucker]

Nine.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

So he.

[Rucker]

But he's played T ball and all this.

[Si Robertson]

No, they're not playing a T ball.

[Phil Robertson]

No. You don't play T ball?

[Rucker]

No, I mean, I'm a.

[Phil Robertson]

If it were up to me, I'd. I'd. I'd get rid of all that stuff.

[Si Robertson]

Ben's picks a new sport every six months, and that's what we do.

[Phil Robertson]

I really thought he had him one in cross country, to be fair.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Because you've seen me run.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, he just strikes me as a kid that can, like, put in earbuds and go, like. Because every time I'm around Ben's. He is totally fine playing by himself. Like, you don't.

[Rucker]

He ain't.

[Si Robertson]

He ain't down to run. Which was weird that he chose cross.

[Rucker]

Country, but at this stage of his life, it's like, man, if you want to try it, go try it.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Rucker]

When you kind of see what sticks, you know, now.

[Phil Robertson]

But like, a buddy of mine's kids on, like, a robotics team or something, so that's kind of cool for. For kids this age to have. We never had Nothing like that.

[Si Robertson]

But what we really didn't have. Martin, what was the Lion King?

[Phil Robertson]

The light. Oh, he sent me this last night. It's great.

[Si Robertson]

Side, Check it out.

[Phil Robertson]

This is great. Turn the volume.

[Rucker]

Cut me out. Out of service out of Africa. I wouldn't hang about. This challenge gets a mildly out of wing.

[Si Robertson]

Look at them wings.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, I just can't wait to be king.

[Si Robertson]

We have been working our butts off at our house on building wings for Zazu of the Lion King.

[Phil Robertson]

King.

[Rucker]

Time out. Time out. Hold on. Y' all gotta make your own costumes.

[Si Robertson]

What, you think we're just gonna go to the store and buy Z?

[Rucker]

No, no, no.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, if they got those just.

[Rucker]

Laying around, the school ask you to be in. In a production, shouldn't they provide the costume?

[Si Robertson]

This ain't jail, Rucker.

[Phil Robertson]

This is. This school also charges tuition, so now you're on your own.

[Rucker]

On. Well, but that's the. As somebody that pays for that school, I'm gonna just tell you.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, well, he does it times three.

[Rucker]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

So you only paying for one of them right now.

[Si Robertson]

Check that out.

[Rucker]

When the other one's starting, the other one will be on the way out.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, so I glued probably 800 feathers on those wings.

[Rucker]

There's no.

[Phil Robertson]

They look good.

[Rucker]

There's no way that's 800 feathers.

[Si Robertson]

That's because you can only see the ostrich feathers, which were my favorite ones.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, well.

[Si Robertson]

And, ladies and gentlemen, you got to.

[Phil Robertson]

Remember the front also has a back, so double whatever you're seeing.

[Si Robertson]

Ladies and gentlemen, if you're ever making wings, I highly suggest ostrich feathers. They cover a lot more area.

[Phil Robertson]

There you go. But they also can't fly.

[Si Robertson]

We. Well, neither.

[Rucker]

You don't.

[Johnny D]

Need them to fly.

[Si Robertson]

You just need a race.

[Rucker]

Good.

[Phil Robertson]

No, I'm just talking about the structural integrity of ostrich wings.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah. They going nowhere, but they look good. I even put three in his hat. Then I stayed up an hour last night trying to make a beak out of foam. I'm not artistic.

[Phil Robertson]

You said that last night, and the first thing I did was, I just can't wait to be king.

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah.

[Rucker]

Well, Johnny D, you're. You're a good dad. Well, you're out there making it happen. Somebody hadn't told you that. I know.

[Si Robertson]

I. I have huffed all the glue to prove it.

[Phil Robertson]

Is he. What? So does he get to sing the I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts?

[Johnny D]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

It's a Small World. He's gonna do the whole thing. I'm so sure.

[Rucker]

So he does all of Zazu's parts?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, it's pretty much included in being Zazu.

[Rucker]

That's a two hour movie. I mean, so. I mean, I don't know how to.

[Si Robertson]

Gonna be up there a lot, I think.

[Rucker]

Okay.

[Si Robertson]

You don't get to sing a Kuna Machada, but hey.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, well, there.

[Si Robertson]

But there's a lot of kids, so there is like some other bird that might have some of the parts.

[Phil Robertson]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

But apparently the other bird can do flips and stuff. Carter can't do no flip. He can barely roll. And if he does roll in that suit that I glued all them feathers onto, I'm gonna hurt him, Right?

[Rucker]

You better not mess up that suit, dude.

[Si Robertson]

I was.

[Johnny D]

I was.

[Phil Robertson]

We have the wings for in here. I'm hoping they're done.

[Si Robertson]

No, I'm hoping on Thanksgiving break Carter gonna come in here in full Zazu regalia and. And give us a few tunes.

[Phil Robertson]

I just think they'd really snazz up the place. I felt like we could use them.

[Johnny D]

Well, we're.

[Si Robertson]

We're gonna pin them to his new presidential suit. So we had to buy another suit.

[Phil Robertson]

He outgrew it, yo.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we went a size up and I couldn't button them. The kids humongous. He's Rucker size.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, he's getting big. Yeah, that's true.

[Rucker]

Well, you know, I think it. I play. I was in a play one time as baby Bear. You know, the three little bears. Or was that one the Red Riding Hood with the. No, that's not the girl that ate the porridge of the bears. What's it called?

[Phil Robertson]

Alice?

[Rucker]

Do y' all not know what I'm talking about?

[Phil Robertson]

Goldilocks.

[Rucker]

Goldilocks. That's it. I was baby Bear because you remember the daddy bear, the mama bear, and then you had the baby bear. She ate all their.

[Si Robertson]

You didn't eat all your porridge, man.

[Rucker]

No, no, he had the porridge that she ate. You know, I mean, because the dad one was too hot.

[Phil Robertson]

And I mean if I'm just. I'm not trying to you judgmental here, Rucker, but if I look at you, you really feel a baby bear?

[Rucker]

Well, no, I mean, I was the ideal guy for your part.

[Phil Robertson]

Vertically challenged.

[Rucker]

Horizontally stout.

[Phil Robertson]

Horizontally stout. Oh, that's a good one.

[Rucker]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

You'd make a great pumba.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, you're not Timon, don't you for that stuff?

[Rucker]

Me and Psy could pull off Timon and Pumbaa.

[Phil Robertson]

There you go.

[Si Robertson]

That's a great.

[Phil Robertson]

There you Go.

[Rucker]

I mean, I think. Why hadn't we done that?

[Si Robertson]

Well, we're adults that don't. There's not a lot of tryouts for the Broadway show, and it's weird if.

[Rucker]

You'Re the adult that shows up for that.

[Phil Robertson]

And to be fair, if size your Timon, they're pretty active participants, man.

[Si Robertson]

I'm just saying, a lot of dancing happening over here, but great singing.

[Phil Robertson]

Great singing. He could sing, Especially with him. New New chomps. Let's get out of here.

[Si Robertson]

Which Timon did have.

[Phil Robertson]

How do we want to close it?

[Si Robertson]

Psalm 32.

[Phil Robertson]

7. Yeah, that's fine. I didn't know if we were doing that or a prayer.

[Si Robertson]

I'm down for either.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, no, we're good. Go. Psalm.

[Si Robertson]

You are my hiding place. You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. The Lord is your hiding place. If you're in a bad spot, look to him. He'll protect you and one day deliver you. Which is a great thought with Rucker's buddy, who went down the same path as Rucker. Took a little longer to get here, but.

[Phil Robertson]

But he still got time.

[Si Robertson]

He's working on it.

[Rucker]

I almost brought him up here because he. I was with him right before I came up here to do the podcast, and so. But we're gonna give him a little bit more time.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, I'm saying slide him up there, Johnny D. Sit him down, Big Dave.

[Rucker]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

And Montreal, we gonna have to.

[Rucker]

We definitely have to put a. A parental advisor. That dude starts going, we have to.

[Si Robertson]

Put that for size, so.

[Phil Robertson]

All right, we'll see y' all next time. Right here in the duck call room. We're out.
