[Si Robertson]

For $15 a month. How are there still people paying two.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Or three times that much? I'm sorry, I shouldn't be victim blaming. Here, give it a [e-mail] save whenever you're ready.

[Jase Robertson]

$45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month.

New customers on first three month plan only.

[Jase Robertson]

Taxes and fees, extra Speed slower above 40 gigabytes. CD tails. Oh, Amarillo's far away.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, but you can be there by morning. According to George Strait.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's right.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, if we went, they just got a new animal.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no.

[Jase Robertson]

The Amarillo Zoo got a new animal.

[Si Robertson]

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

[Jase Robertson]

Do you have any guesses what it could be?

[Si Robertson]

If they emailed us, it can only be one thing. A large black.

[Jase Robertson]

And his name is Bagheera.

[Phil Robertson]

His name is what?

[Si Robertson]

That ought to tell you. Them things don't exist. What they naming them names that ain't really names.

[Jase Robertson]

That's a name. That's the name of the black cat. And Jungle Book, man.

[Si Robertson]

That's fine. Yeah, but you ever heard them other names anywhere else from Jungle Book?

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, that's the Mexican Jaguar.

[Jase Robertson]

8 year old black jaguar.

[Phil Robertson]

Right?

[Jase Robertson]

I didn't know Amarillo had his.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, you could throw a saddle on that sucker, boy as big as he is.

[Si Robertson]

But anyway.

[Phil Robertson]

That's a pretty animal, though. Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Sometimes I start on emails and just see what's in there. And sometimes people send me things.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, it's the double hump camel.

[Jase Robertson]

Okay, now my computer's just at the Amarillo Zoo because I was curious.

[Phil Robertson]

All right. Then there was the kangaroo. Roof.

Hey, thanks, Lee, for the email.

[Si Robertson]

Ah, yeah. There you go. There we go.

[Jase Robertson]

That's how we start.

[Si Robertson]

But welcome back from the holidays.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Had a good holiday break, Philip.

[Phil Robertson]

I was gonna say, I hope everyone had a very, very good Thanksgiving.

[Si Robertson]

Amen. So much thankful for.

[Phil Robertson]

They were thankful.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I gained three pounds.

[Si Robertson]

I double it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Double it.

[Jase Robertson]

Martin gained six pounds.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Double it.

[Si Robertson]

There were too many pecan based desserts around me at all times.

[Jase Robertson]

And I'm proud to know you.

[Si Robertson]

I didn't.

[Jase Robertson]

That's impressive.

[Si Robertson]

Well, it wasn't from the other stuff. It's just straight desserts. But I, you know, problem is I eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner.

[Phil Robertson]

That sounds like me. And a sweet potato pie.

[Si Robertson]

But yeah. Oh, before going duck hunting over to break. Yeah. I'd walk by that leftover pecan pie sitting there and I just grab a slice cold buddy.

[Phil Robertson]

I got one towels head on out.

[Si Robertson]

To the duck hole and aim over yet. Oh, I'm coming to your house. Yeah, I'm done. I'm on detox.

[Phil Robertson]

I ate the potato pie though because every time I go, I take it.

[Si Robertson]

Knife and I have more sugar in a three day span than I've had in the last six months.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, it's Thanksgiving.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You're supposed to tell us about Alan and Lisa. They picked up a new recipe. They're gonna cook the dressing like Phil and K. So tell us all about it.

[Phil Robertson]

Since Phil didn't do the dressing. Okay. Yo, he always does it for Thanksgiving. Well, Al said, well, we got to keep on the. Keep the legacy going. So Al tried it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he tried. He tried to let me. Before you get started, the man one day before y'all are going to eat. So hey, can I get about six or eight teal? I said, al, I ain't kill six or eight teal all year.

[Phil Robertson]

I.

[Si Robertson]

If I would be glad to give you some. Was always different. Feel like, you know, because we hunt rice field or fields a lot early.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And I'd always take Phil some teal for his duck and dressing. But I said, al, this, this ain't a year for buddy. I don't know what did he do? I don't know what to use, I guess.

[Phil Robertson]

No, no, he found some tail for somebody.

[Si Robertson]

Okay, there you go.

[Phil Robertson]

Here's the deal. He asked me so. Well, what about it? Yo, I got mine, you know. So I tasted. I looked at the beginning. Well, no, you missed it.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, just looking at it.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, just looking at it. I said, too runny. Especially want to put the spoon in? I said, too runny. You didn't cook it long enough. I said, hey, here's what you gotta do. You gotta cook it long enough where it's, it's. You had to kind of scrape it off of the sides.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Were you the first in line?

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I said the blessing and I said I was already starting to get my.

[Jase Robertson]

Plate and they said, hey, we should pray first.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, well, we would like you to say a prayer for. I said, well, hey, I want to eat. I spare your heads. So I said the blessing and then I got my food. Well, I told Al asked me, well, what about no? I said, well, number one.

[Ryan Reynolds]

No.

[Phil Robertson]

You answer that. Nope, it's runny. I Said you didn't cook it long enough. I said, you gotta get it hard on the outside, all the way around.

[Ryan Reynolds]

This is the dressing?

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, the dressing. And then when you do that way, okay, you'll dip in there, and what's inside will be. It'd be more. Yeah, but it wasn't there. Then I got the little tail off of the top, right? Yeah, Well, I like the. Broke the plastic fork. He was so tough. I said the duck was too tough. You didn't boil him enough, man.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Good grief.

[Jase Robertson]

And normally we just make fun of his ass. Now we're just going after his heart.

[Phil Robertson]

No, no, no. Cause you. Hey, you have to ask Phil, you know, how do you tell if the ducks are tender? Well, you. Yeah, you boil them. And when you. When you can just grab the leg and just ease it off, that's when it's tender.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So did anybody eat the dressing?

[Phil Robertson]

Well, they ate it, but, I mean, you know, hey, they don't know good dressing because they hadn't ate mine. Okay. Hey, look.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, in fairness. In fairness, I make the best dressing. When's the last time a Robertson not named Phil or Si. Ate a duck? Ate a wild duck?

[Phil Robertson]

Was the last time.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Not. Not you and not your brother.

[Phil Robertson]

I.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Any other Roberts.

[Si Robertson]

I'm discounting y'all, I.

[Phil Robertson]

Because, hey, Thanksgiving, that's all I go to. I know that's the only reason I show up. So you can't gonna be duck and dress.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So you didn't stay long.

[Si Robertson]

But you can't expect Al to know really how to cook duck. And if you don't eat, well, I. I will. Now, he grew up eating them, and I'm sure he hates them at this point.

[Phil Robertson]

Here's what I need to tell him. I said, hey, look, call me.

[Si Robertson]

I'll cook it up.

[Phil Robertson]

And, hey, you can help me. I'm prepared. You can help me, I said, because your. Your dad scared y'all from infancy. Oh, you don't want to. You don't want to put too much sage in it. So they don't put. You know, I mean, you got a big pot this big. Okay. You know that a feed what, 30 people?

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. So, yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

And field goals, little sprinkle, and that's. It starts. It's always, you know.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, you gotta put some sage in it.

[Jase Robertson]

Carry on a tradition. And you just went, nah, nah.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, no, no. Now, I'm gonna. I'm gonna help Al make it next Thanksgiving.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But that's just.

[Phil Robertson]

It'll be good then.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that's betting on the Come be.

[Phil Robertson]

In there scraping the bottom of the barrel. So to get the last little bit.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's right. But you're giving honest feedback.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, Alex, daughter just walked in. Yeah, okay, time out, time out.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, Ale.

[Si Robertson]

Alex. Unbiased opinion.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, she's a shelved.

[Jase Robertson]

She's legitimate with her name shelved. Don't get on Hunter's microphone.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Alex Robertson.

[Si Robertson]

So Alex, how was your dad's attempt at your grandfather's dressing? It could use some improvement.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, I don't know if that came.

[Phil Robertson]

In other words in redneck languages, but.

[Jase Robertson]

That'S a nice way of. See how she said this could improve not.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, that's what I told him. He asked me, he said hey, no, it doesn't.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It doesn't need more sage.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, doesn't need more sage.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh yes it does.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What it needed was a long time.

[Phil Robertson]

No sage flavor in it.

[Si Robertson]

So I did say it. It was a little runny. A little runny. See, I like to be fair, I would prefer my dressing like my steak. I'd rather it a little runny than overcooked.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh yeah, like. Oh no, that's the last thing you.

[Si Robertson]

Will do is overcook. That's what I'm saying. So medium plus, if you will.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh yeah, there you go. Hey, I'm serious.

[Si Robertson]

No, no, look, I'm just glad to know Alex is still a Robertson.

[Phil Robertson]

Here's the thing.

[Si Robertson]

They rough food critics.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, look, hey, they rough period.

[Phil Robertson]

If you can't grab whatever that dressing is in and shaking and it don't wobble like Jello.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wobble, wobble.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, throw that crap out.

[Si Robertson]

You're good.

[Phil Robertson]

You cooked it too long.

[Si Robertson]

Just after how you used to patrol the bars, wouldn't it? Oh yeah, you need it to wobble when you. Yeah, okay, I see. Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh my.

[Phil Robertson]

Look, if you want bar.

[Si Robertson]

No, I get that too.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh my goodness.

[Jase Robertson]

Thanksgiving's terrifying though, cuz every family's got that. Like somebody's passing down. Our family had it this year. My poor cousin Lauren, who's the smartest of all of us. She's a like a bonafide pharmacist.

[Si Robertson]

I ain't never met her.

[Jase Robertson]

She lives in Arkansas.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, okay.

[Jase Robertson]

She was going to do the crescent rolls that my grandmother always did.

[Si Robertson]

Uhuh. Hard pass. You don't do grandmama stuff.

[Jase Robertson]

Look, when I tell you grandmother's there, she passed it on to.

[Si Robertson]

Thank you, Alex.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Bye Alex.

[Jase Robertson]

Bye Ale. And I could see it in Lauren's face. She was like, I'm so nervous that everybody's about to have this Crescent roll. And she's gonna get the side treatment. Like you stink.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, no, no. Cause he said it. Hey, you don't do what grandma.

[Jase Robertson]

Hey, hey. Let me love.

[Phil Robertson]

Look, you don't have to love.

[Si Robertson]

Hey, put your mic up there, big dog.

[Phil Robertson]

Grandmama's having their hand.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You don't have the love that Grandmama's having.

[Jase Robertson]

Hold on.

[Phil Robertson]

You don't.

[Si Robertson]

Lori.

[Phil Robertson]

They put it in the food.

[Si Robertson]

I don't know how, but they do. But I think we have a redemption story here.

[Jase Robertson]

I was nervous for. Yeah, you could tell. It was like a big. Because we've always had the homemade crescent rolls and they came out the oven. I looked at it and I said, boy, that looks right.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, step one, step one. You gotta pass.

[Jase Robertson]

Lauren, did you do it? And I. When I tell you aced it. Maybe even better. I said it. Grandmother's not listening, so I can say it out loud. Lauren's crescent rolls are an upgrade.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, say she wasn't that good.

[Jase Robertson]

I ate 12 of them.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, she didn't roll over in the grade. All she did was smile. The girl got it.

[Jase Robertson]

The girl got it.

[Phil Robertson]

Learn well.

[Si Robertson]

So, you know, we got the boys around the house now. One thing you can't do when you have kids, especially mine at this age, they're into everything. They open every drawer, every cabinet, all the things. So you got to be a responsible gun owner and keep your guns put up. And look, I got the best thing ever, the stop box. Look here. You see how easy that was to open? Look here.

[Jase Robertson]

Never getting it in it, but a.

[Si Robertson]

Kid can't get in it. Great way to store your firearm out of the reach of your children. But also, if you need it, you've got it, right? Like, it is not difficult.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, you gave her good feedback. You know, the Robertson feedback seems harsh to me, and I think it's just honesty. And maybe they do make changes and it gets better. But like when Christine saw Al walk into the restaurant, we were all eating together and she said, alan. And he said, hey, Aunt Chris. And Chris or whatever he called her, she said, you are getting fat.

[Phil Robertson]

She hasn't seen him in a while.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's exactly what she said.

[Jase Robertson]

But how can you.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I mean, but, you know, I would trust that.

[Si Robertson]

Obviously it wouldn't for me and dressing.

[Jase Robertson]

I feel like we need to let Al at least give his piece. Yeah. Of the story.

[Si Robertson]

Here's what I'll tell you about Al.

[Phil Robertson]

I won down on him.

[Si Robertson]

I'll tell you. I bet Al, out of all the Robertson men, though, I bet Al would admit it.

[Jase Robertson]

That is true. I would say, oh, yeah. I probably could have cooked it a little longer.

[Si Robertson]

The rest of them would have said, that oven, that dad gum thing, man, I cannot believe I put it on 350. That stupid oven.

[Jase Robertson]

Blame the oven.

[Si Robertson]

They'd have blamed anything. But no, see, we didn't start on time. So it just sat there. And the water from the lid, you know, I mean, they. It had been anything other than just wear it too much.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Something. Too much something. Step one, water on the assess blame.

[Si Robertson]

Step one, immediately assess blame. Step two, transfer said blame.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's right. Blame. Shit.

[Si Robertson]

Get everybody. That's that step.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He knows.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, hey, most of them won't admit they done it wrong.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Al would, though.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, I do. I do, too.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

If I shoot Three times in a duck. Don't fall. I just go ahead and say, I guess what was.

[Si Robertson]

I wouldn't own him.

[Phil Robertson]

I didn't kill Doodley squat that time.

[Jase Robertson]

Doodley squat.

[Phil Robertson]

All I did was make three loud noises. Bam, bam, bam. And nothing failed.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that's unfortunate. Today I would have. Well, no, I'd probably put my money on Willie being the copycat.

[Phil Robertson]

No, no. It was his first time.

[Si Robertson]

You know, dressing is essentially what Willie's good at. Throw a bunch of stuff in a pot.

[Phil Robertson]

Goulash.

[Si Robertson]

And watch it come together.

[Phil Robertson]

Because that's exactly how you make dressing.

[Si Robertson]

Throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and watch it come together.

[Phil Robertson]

You gotta have cornbread. You gotta have wrist crackers.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

Red type.

[Si Robertson]

You gotta have celery.

[Phil Robertson]

You gotta have celery, bell pepper, onions. The onions are optional.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Thank you. I don't like that.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, I don't like dressing. I said it. Oh, just a bunch of carbs. You figure out I'll be good at it.

[Phil Robertson]

Look, I got a 4 inch casserole thing that I fill up with dressing.

[Jase Robertson]

It's just like.

[Phil Robertson]

And I can set it right here and eat the whole.

[Si Robertson]

I will say once, I made that dressing last year and brought it up here to prove a point.

[Jase Robertson]

The sage dressing.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, I still taste the sage from time to time if I belch just right. But, you know, it was good. Like, now, I ain't been worried about a witch or no Native American voodoo. Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Protect you from that?

[Si Robertson]

I think so.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't know.

[Si Robertson]

I see them people have it hanging over their doors all the time.

[Jase Robertson]

So that's why size in such great shape.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah. You give him a healthy belch for the next couple of weeks and his house is safe, buddy.

[Jase Robertson]

No vampires.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, hey, it's gotta have spiders.

[Phil Robertson]

Okay. Your duck broth. Okay. No more you duck broth. Because all you. All you've really got in dressing is. Is cornbread, crackers. Okay. And bread.

[Si Robertson]

French bread, generally. Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

Yo, I take a loaf of bread, put it in and get it brown on both sides.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

And let it set. And it just crumbles and it gives it that color. It's got the brown color. But all that is is bread. Well, hey, if you just eat stewed bread, eat it up, it ain't got no flavor, period.

[Jase Robertson]

Maybe that's my problem. I just been eating.

[Phil Robertson]

That's why you have to put the bill like I double my vegetables.

[Si Robertson]

Yours was good.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, I see. I tell. I tell people I said, hey, this is not for you.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not.

[Phil Robertson]

I made this specifically for me.

[Si Robertson]

Specifically and atlantically. It is good.

[Phil Robertson]

And hey, I like a lot of vegetables. And I.

[Jase Robertson]

You nailed it.

[Phil Robertson]

Look, they've got. My wife found. It's two little jars about this tall and about as big as a silver dollar.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Of what?

[Phil Robertson]

Of sage.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Phil Robertson]

And I put. I. I make two big casseroles, so I put one in each. Each batch.

[Si Robertson]

It was.

[Phil Robertson]

Now it's got a sage flavor. It's definitely got the flavor.

[Si Robertson]

It is sagey, but it's good. I mean, I'm not discounting the fact that it's good. It is good. It's not.

[Jase Robertson]

It tastes like sage, but it's sage.

[Phil Robertson]

I like the flavor.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. I would call it sage forward, but it is good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ate that stuff for like two days.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, no, no. And the ducks.

[Jase Robertson]

I tried. I don't know.

[Phil Robertson]

And the ducks were tender.

[Si Robertson]

Ducks were great.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm sage adverse.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, look, all I did was boil them. I check them. If. When I grab the leg and you can't pick it up.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

It'll break off. It'll come out of the duck and drop the duck.

[Jase Robertson]

You know what? I like ham. Oh, man.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, that good? No, no. Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Turkey skin. That was wonderful.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, used to when I was a kid.

[Jase Robertson]

Ham and bacon for Thanksgiving.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, all the time. Mom say, hey, go out smokehouse, get a. Get a slab of bacon. Go out there, unhook it, bring it in. She'll slice it.

[Si Robertson]

You go out there. Slab of bacon, huh? Will you go out there and get me a slab of bacon? I've been duck hunting all morning. I'm hungry.

[Jase Robertson]

Detoxing from them 18 pies.

[Si Robertson]

I know it. And I. Boy, I could eat a whole one right now.

[Jase Robertson]

All I've eaten today is a pickle. Just to try and forget about what I did last week. That's all I've had.

[Si Robertson]

I've had two packs of peanut butter crackers and my. And the words of John Gobble. My stomach thinks my mouth went on vacation or whatever.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's the road to recovery, though.

[Si Robertson]

I know, but man.

[Jase Robertson]

Because Christmas is coming.

[Si Robertson]

It is.

[Jase Robertson]

And Lauren, go. I'm going to eat 14 crescent rolls again.

[Si Robertson]

I'm staring at. That's right.

[Phil Robertson]

I got to get out and say, okay, your house.

[Jase Robertson]

That's what.

[Phil Robertson]

And then we'll make the dress.

[Si Robertson]

Now we all have seafood Christmas.

[Jase Robertson]

No, no, no.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, no. We're going to make a pot of dress.

[Jase Robertson]

Here we go. For Christmas, you and Al make the dressing together. And Then we will reconvene and see what Al learned from your wisdom or if you were just mean to him.

[Phil Robertson]

Cause here's the deal. Cause I've always been thinking about it. That big pot that Phil uses and makes dressing all the way up to.

[Si Robertson]

The top, that's big Magnolite.

[Phil Robertson]

Two of them that won't have. It won't have the flavor of mine that I made.

[Si Robertson]

Yours was good.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, but I know, but I'm telling. Most people don't. Don't want it to even taste the same, but at least it'll give it a flavor.

[Si Robertson]

They don't want yours.

[Phil Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

The man loves sage.

[Si Robertson]

He does that. I like it to have flavor. I'm here for it. Yeah, surprisingly. Like I don't care if ducks in it or not. No, no, that's me dressing just a good chicken.

[Phil Robertson]

No, no. Yeah, the ducks don't have to be there.

[Si Robertson]

The duck is the festive part because it's duck season and like that's what we do.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, that's just for presentation.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

My mother in law makes. Makes. I mean she does dressing well. And we usually get ducks from Sigh. And I mean she's.

[Si Robertson]

She's been a tough year on Emirates.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

But hard to make duck and dressing without.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, hey, it's a workout without ducks. Well, no, no, no, no. You gotta have it for the broth.

[Si Robertson]

I know.

[Phil Robertson]

That's the only thing that you gotta.

[Jase Robertson]

Have ducks to have the broth.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, yeah. We're just talking. I'm just talking about the process of acquiring said ducks.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

For this season it's been old fashioned hunting anymore.

[Jase Robertson]

Sigh. Any more duck hunting?

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, yeah, I hunted a lot. Yeah. Oh, this first split. Did you? Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, yeah. He hunted. Yeah, I hunted with him like three times.

[Phil Robertson]

I was with them. Okay. On morning when we killed the 32, which I killed about 15.

[Si Robertson]

Oh God, he killed six.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

I killed my limit.

[Jase Robertson]

Hey, our friends the guard commanders are now duck hunters. They're out there trudging it, man.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, I bet they earning it too, with a river as low as it is.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, they've shot one.

[Phil Robertson]

Although there plenty of ducks on the river.

[Jase Robertson]

They shot once all Thanksgiving break.

[Phil Robertson]

I want to hug the ducks ain't there.

[Si Robertson]

Shot ashell.

[Jase Robertson]

Shot a shell.

[Si Robertson]

That's a tough.

[Jase Robertson]

They didn't admit that their mom came by and bought them some Christmas presents. I said, how's duck hunting going? She goes, oh, they won't tell you, but it's one shot. I shot two shells. You who?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, what'd you shoot at ducks. Oh, okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Jacob, hold on. Did. Did Dungeons and Dragons Hunter just chime in with the. I've shot two shells. I. You are so interested.

[Phil Robertson]

Did you hunt with what? Wendell?

[Si Robertson]

I did.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, y'all.

[Si Robertson]

Y'all kill a few woodies.

[Jase Robertson]

Not many.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, when I say a few woodies, that means something different, I would say.

[Phil Robertson]

Because there was a lot of. Shoot.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Look at his eyebrows.

[Si Robertson]

There was a lot of misses. Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, that's all right. I didn't even go. Martin.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, bud.

[Jase Robertson]

You know what's awesome? About a year ago, I was watching college football and I was so interested in Mando because of the commercial, and now I use it every day. They're a sponsor of the podcast. It is just fantastic stuff. Whole body deodorant is genius.

[Si Robertson]

Mando Whole body deodorant is powerful enough for the toughest body odor, but gentle enough to use everywhere, allowing you to put mando on family jewels without any worry. Mando aluminum free baking soda free. Cruelty free dye free vegan Very important for your package that it is cruelty free. Just saying.

[Jase Robertson]

I do not want cruel things happening where I put deodorant.

[Si Robertson]

I don't either. And it's clinically proven to control odor better than a shower with soap alone. Twelve hours after a shower, the average man's grundle odor level was a 5 out of 10.

[Jase Robertson]

The first time I ever went duck hunting and I shot a duck, Martin acted like we just won the Super Bowl.

[Si Robertson]

Yep.

[Jase Robertson]

Every time we shot a duck, and we shot about 30 of them.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

And he was fired. Now he's like, just get them in there and just watch them.

[Si Robertson]

We wasn't filming then.

[Jase Robertson]

Set. Set a hand.

[Si Robertson]

He's just out there. Yeah, I don't care. I just stare at him now. I killed me enough of them, but that's whatever. I took my bride this morning, which was fun. Britney went, so mom kept the boys. So that was a fun, fun morning. First maladrake of the morning, I put her on an island. I said, kill that thing. I mean, backpedaling. Payout, payout, payout.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, and help.

[Si Robertson]

Here he went. I got. I got tickled.

[Jase Robertson]

Poor Brittany.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. She said. She said, don't you make fun of me. I don't get to do this much of you. I said, I ain't making fun of it. I just thought it was funny. I said, look, I wouldn't nobody in this blind gonna shoot that first one except for you. So it was fun, though. But the next one coming, she killed him, so it's good. Yeah. But that first one, I was like, well, look at that big rascal, would you? Nope, he gone. He got a wild story to tell. He got something else he better be thankful for.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, I did a lot of shooting, but it wasn't at any ducks.

[Si Robertson]

What'd you shoot?

[Ryan Reynolds]

So my son Bryson, I had all my kids. I've got three adult children, and they're all here. He came in from the UK. He's in the Air Force, and in 2018 or 19, when he was at LSU, he had his window broken out, and they stole his pistol, his Glock, and. And I got a call a couple years ago that they had found his Glock, and it was in the evidence room, but it took me two years to finally get it. And where'd they get it? Who had it? It was down in Baton Rouge.

[Si Robertson]

Baton Rouge, in the.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, evidence room. But it was pretty cool because we celebrated his Christmas and birthday while he's at the house. And I gave him that gun back, and he was. He was happy to get it.

[Si Robertson]

There you go. That's cool. That's awesome. That's cool.

[Jase Robertson]

Got it back.

[Si Robertson]

So I got a question for you.

[Phil Robertson]

Yep.

[Si Robertson]

You know, we stay out of politics for the most part.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, Lord.

[Si Robertson]

But did what.

[Jase Robertson]

Hold on.

[Si Robertson]

Did you see what our Current president did.

[Phil Robertson]

No.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, did you see that?

[Si Robertson]

He basically did exactly what he said he wouldn't do.

[Phil Robertson]

What's that?

[Si Robertson]

Pardoned his son. Now, I just gotta know.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, I'm.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm legitimately.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, I heard about that.

[Si Robertson]

I'm legitimately.

[Phil Robertson]

This is not President Trump that did this.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, he ain't there yet.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, he's on his way there, but he ain't there yet.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

No. Mr. Biden. President Biden.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Pardon this son. Look, I'm just curious. Not. I don't care. I don't want to go down the political road. Just curious. I. Robertson. Your president.

[Phil Robertson]

My take on that.

[Si Robertson]

No, but your president.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. And Scott did something.

[Si Robertson]

And Scott did something. Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

That's a face issue.

[Si Robertson]

I was just curious.

[Phil Robertson]

Hey, he had to face the issue.

[Si Robertson]

I'm with you.

[Phil Robertson]

That's the way I raised both of my children.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, I've never had that power, so I don't. But I like to think the way I am now. Yeah, man, you got to figure it out. Well, no, no.

[Phil Robertson]

Because, you know, you're not doing him any favors.

[Si Robertson]

No. Now.

[Phil Robertson]

Okay. Because, hey, guess what?

[Si Robertson]

He gonna do something worse.

[Phil Robertson]

He's gonna do it again or do something worse.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. It generally leads to a level.

[Phil Robertson]

Somebody else catches him. Guess what.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

You're not doing him any favors by doing that.

[Si Robertson]

I was just curious. We're all fathers, right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

So I just was legitimately.

[Jase Robertson]

And we're all sons.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

If I was Hunter, I would have had to have hoped Jill was president. Big Dave would have just hung me out to dry.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. You need a Jan in there running thing.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. If I always knew if I got arrested.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Call Mom.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Something serious like that. I'm probably with Sigh. You know, you just. You can't say.

[Si Robertson]

Well, you could do a hundred different things, right. You could commute a sentence like after he goes to jail or whatever, but to just pardon it straight off the rip. I just feel like that's a.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, you're teaching him. You're teaching him that. Hey, you're not. You're not. You're. You're above the law.

[Si Robertson]

And not only.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And that was taught to him a long time ago.

[Si Robertson]

And not only that, you're just being a bold face liar.

[Phil Robertson]

No.

[Jase Robertson]

No opinions.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That you're enabling him.

[Jase Robertson]

He ain't enabling nothing. Yeah, he's in on it. I said it.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, there it is.

[Jase Robertson]

There it is. The only political opinion.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'll tell you what I can relate it to, and it's not really apples to apples. But when I was an umpire at Green Road, me and my two brothers.

[Jase Robertson]

You know, close to apples. To apples. Green Road. Umpiring and presidency and the Ukraine and murder.

[Si Robertson]

All of you think you got too much.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So my little cousin come up to bat, and he wouldn't swing the bat. And it's right down the middle. Boom one, boom. Strike two. And the next one is right down the middle.

[Phil Robertson]

Just bow.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And he just looked at me and I said, ball. No, no, I said, ball. And another one come down middle. Ball. And the fans started yelling. I said, hey, son, swing the bat. And the next time he swung and he got. He struck out. But I was like. Without thinking about it, I was just like, oh, let me just give him a look.

[Si Robertson]

You know, maybe that's what Joe was doing.

[Jase Robertson]

He was having some ice cream. He's like, what's my kid's name? Somebody told him. And then he was like, yeah, let's.

[Phil Robertson]

Let them not swing or swing out of baseball.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's way different stealing money and.

[Jase Robertson]

Hey, that's.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, that's major stuff now.

[Si Robertson]

Consequences little different, for sure.

[Jase Robertson]

They're all in on it together. I'm. I'm that guy. I'm my tin full hats on. I think they're all in on it together. Something bad happened, and if it all comes out.

[Si Robertson]

Nah, I was just curious, man. I was just. When I saw that, I was like, as a father and a new, relatively new father, my kids are two, I was like, just put you in that spot. Like, what would you do, you know? Well, you.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You won't have to make that decision because yours are not going to grow up like that, you know? We hope not.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, we hope not.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I wouldn't.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, you can't say that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, well, I don't know. You train them how they should. You teach them and train them, and they're going to come back to the Lord. Well, you know.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. I just. I don't know. When I read that as a father, I was curious. And again, I'm not trying to. Well, you being Democrats, whatever, you know.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Especially when you say you're not going to do it.

[Si Robertson]

But. Yeah, the point. The. The point being is explicitly during all of that, I will not do this. I will not do this.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

On my way out the door. Merry Christmas, pal. I mean, I guess he doesn't know. I guess he's off the hook for.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Christmas and nobody can stop him or do anything about it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. No, you can't do nothing about it. Like, unless there's something else they haven't charged him with. And then next guy gets in there and they recharge him and then he goes trial for something else. Then, you know. But generally speaking, I've noticed when people get away with stuff like that, it generally escalates to what else can I get away with? You, generally.

[Phil Robertson]

That's why I said you end up where you're not doing him a favor.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, okay.

[Phil Robertson]

Because you're saying, okay, buddy, it's okay. Yeah, well, guess what? Being human, I gotta go. I got away with.

[Si Robertson]

Gotta run it one more time.

[Phil Robertson]

I gotta try it again.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, no, you're right.

[Si Robertson]

They ain't gonna get me this time.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, yeah, I learned.

[Jase Robertson]

Next time he's gonna say, hey, dad, guess what I got away with a new.

[Ryan Reynolds]

A new laptop.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, well, I got a new laptop recently. My old laptop is still at the place.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, man, they're cracking into that thing.

[Jase Robertson]

Like it's Hunter Biden's. No, they're not.

[Si Robertson]

I need good news is they just quit, so you ain't gotta worry about looking into it no more. Who quit? No, I'm just saying I ain't looking into that laptop no more.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, that's true. Can't. Nothing matters. Speaking of stuff, lies and truths.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I.

[Si Robertson]

Spilled water all down my face.

[Jase Robertson]

So I got an email from Micah.

[Phil Robertson]

From Micah. And worse for Micah, from.

[Jase Robertson]

Micah is from Kentucky.

[Phil Robertson]

Kentucky.

[Jase Robertson]

And he's worried about a story he's heard not being totally truthful.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Kind of like who told it.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, S. Robertson.

[Jase Robertson]

He. He was a huge Duck Dynasty fan as a kid. Had all the gear. He's getting more into duck hunting. But he has uncle size books and he's read them. And he needs to know what part of this story is the lie. It was 5% of this story alive. Side. Did your shoes actually catch on fire from running so fast?

[Phil Robertson]

No, but here's the deal. Here's the deal, though. But I did run so fast and hard, that height. The rubber was sticking to the asphalt when I was walking on it.

[Jase Robertson]

So they didn't.

[Phil Robertson]

It had. It had got to the point it melted a little.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that's your own asphalt. No, no.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I got hit me really fast.

[Jase Robertson]

So you claim.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Got me without me knowing that whole story.

[Jase Robertson]

What were you running from in that story?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wolves.

[Phil Robertson]

Wolves. They was actually.

[Si Robertson]

I've heard this one so many times.

[Phil Robertson]

No, no, look, they was actually.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We can tell a story.

[Phil Robertson]

It was actually coyotes.

[Si Robertson]

Coyotes?

[Phil Robertson]

Because it was in what, Vietnam? No, this was like 65, 64.

[Ryan Reynolds]

There was a bunch of them.

[Phil Robertson]

No, no, no. They Got so bad. Look, there was 50 and 100 to.

[Ryan Reynolds]

A pack and they were pulling down.

[Phil Robertson]

They was pulling, they was killing grown, full grown bulls and then eating them. So the farmers all got together and brought in the trappers. And it wasn't. That's for us to go on school bus every morning, go drive down the highway, look on the fence line. 350 is what they called in traps that the other night.

[Jase Robertson]

350 coyotes.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, 350 coyotes.

[Si Robertson]

That's a whack.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, hey, a pack of them got after me.

[Jase Robertson]

Hey, if you're a long time listener, you might know We've been drinking AG1 for about three years. When I started drinking AG1 every day, I could really tell a difference. Phil, you can tell a difference too, can you?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I can tell a difference. I drink it every morning and so does my wife.

[Jase Robertson]

They're working on making this thing better every single day. Phil, you still taking all the multivitamins?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm not taking any multivitamins anymore because why? Because I'm drinking AG1.

[Jase Robertson]

And one scoop is going to include prebiotics and probiotics, magnesium, B vitamins, adaptogens, vitamin C, zinc, to help support my immune health. It's got everything in there. And as Psy likes to say, one scoop.

[Phil Robertson]

What do you.

[Jase Robertson]

I recommend AG1 to all my family and friends because look, there are doctors and scientists out there refining this thing. They're way smarter than me. But I don't need to know what all they're doing. I just know how I feel. And I feel way better since I've been drinking it this holiday season. You know, I might get a little off on the diet. So you gotta cover your nutritional bases first thing each morning with one scoop of AG1 and a glass of cold water.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's right.

[Si Robertson]

Now if they taking down full grown bulls and eating them, what in the world are they chasing your wormies out?

[Phil Robertson]

I don't know.

[Si Robertson]

They must have thought she was a female coyote.

[Jase Robertson]

They were trying to appetize cardiac idea.

[Phil Robertson]

And hey, I outrun them. And look, I'm telling you, if I had a coach with a stopwatch on me, I would hold every running record from the 4:40 yard dash to the 10 mile marathon. Yeah, Tyree, because I run about 10 miles.

[Jase Robertson]

Did you throw up at the end?

[Phil Robertson]

No.

[Jase Robertson]

But your shoes die though.

[Phil Robertson]

Were melted from lack of oxygen.

[Si Robertson]

But his shoes were sticking to that.

[Phil Robertson]

That's right. But my shoes had got so hot now they put their tennis shoes right out of rubber. Okay. They had got so hot that when I walked on the pavement it was actually just. It's like a suction cup. Was.

[Jase Robertson]

Was it in wintertime?

[Phil Robertson]

Oh yeah, it's tough, son.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, hey. You had to be tough in that day.

[Jase Robertson]

How. And they chased you for 10 miles.

[Phil Robertson]

10 miles. You probably picking them up and letting them down, son. I was.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He looked like Forrest Gump.

[Si Robertson]

I'm just trying to think what that lead coyote was thinking.

[Phil Robertson]

But it wasn't. It wasn't in the wintertime. You're. I'm wrong. Oh, it was in the summertime because we were standing.

[Jase Robertson]

The truth is coming out one action at a time.

[Phil Robertson]

It was in September because school was open. School had just started. That's what it was.

[Si Robertson]

Fall.

[Jase Robertson]

We'll land in the fall.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, no, no. Cause I went with Phil and his buddies, okay, the football players, okay. And since I was the youngest, they made me go across the river in the boat. And then they made a round trip in the car.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Did you start a fire?

[Phil Robertson]

No, I didn't have no matches. That's why they started chasing me. Look, I crossed the river in a boat, tie the boat up, you know they're on the side. Wait till I get everything tied up and everything, okay? We'll be there in the old R2yo. So look, I'll go in and I don't even know where I'm at, okay? This is in the wilderness. We're 40 miles from anywhere. And look, there's a little circle about big as this room, okay? In the woods, okay? So I'm sitting There it's getting dark. Well, right at dark, one sticks his head out on the other side.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Just one?

[Phil Robertson]

Just one. Well, then another sticks his head out, another one. Well, hey, I take off running.

[Jase Robertson]

And.

[Phil Robertson]

10 miles later, hey.

[Jase Robertson]

The asphalt road in the middle of the wilderness.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, hey, I'll tell you what I did. My shoes were so hot.

[Si Robertson]

They only ran 10 miles, but they was 40 miles from anywhere. Hey, you start breaking down the math and this one, it struggles.

[Phil Robertson]

My shoes were so hot though, that rain. There was water in the ditch. I did step in the water and look, smoke come off of it when I did.

[Si Robertson]

You reckon that could have made them sticky?

[Ryan Reynolds]

He's a storyteller, not a mathematician.

[Jase Robertson]

Micah, thank you for that email. When I saw it, I said, you know, I hadn't heard that story in a minute.

[Si Robertson]

My goodness gracious. 40 miles from anywhere. Ran 10 miles.

[Phil Robertson]

Run 10 miles.

[Si Robertson]

I just wonder what that first coyote thought. He peeked through them bushes and he.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Said, boys, what is it? There ain't enough to go around here.

[Phil Robertson]

What is it?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Keep looking.

[Jase Robertson]

That was self preservation. They saw a man they knew was gonna get all of them.

[Si Robertson]

Oh hey, I got a call coming in from Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

[Phil Robertson]

Hand it to Ontario, Canada.

[Si Robertson]

Voicemail.

[Phil Robertson]

What is it?

[Si Robertson]

I don't. I got. The only Canadian I know is here. Uhoh, yeah, she right across hall.

[Jase Robertson]

Over.

[Si Robertson]

Oh man, that makes me giggle. Wow, what a life.

[Phil Robertson]

Sigh.

[Jase Robertson]

And it's 95% true.

[Si Robertson]

The 5%'s the math. Oh my goodness. I love you.

[Phil Robertson]

That was one of my weakest subjects.

[Si Robertson]

You don't say so.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's funny.

[Si Robertson]

Oh that's good. Thank you Micah, for a trip down memory lane. Thank you for that.

[Jase Robertson]

Speaking of a trip down memory lane.

[Si Robertson]

What else you got there?

[Jase Robertson]

I got a lot of questions about this photo.

[Phil Robertson]

Yes, but the boat catches it because you can only reel so much, and then you got to pass it off. I mean, it will tear your shoulder out.

[Si Robertson]

When it comes to tuna fishing, if you ain't ever been, you catch the first one, you're by yourself, because you need to experience what that's about.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yep.

[Si Robertson]

After you've caught one. No, it's team effort because we all taking them steaks on.

I legitimately know the mypillow number better than I know our own voicemail. But 3, 1 8, 2 1, 5, 6, 5, 5, 9. And Hunter will listen to it and then maybe play it and we'll try and guess where you're from based on your accent and how much you weigh.

[Si Robertson]

Tennessee.

[Phil Robertson]

Kentucky.

[Jase Robertson]

Kentucky. It's something, you know. It's not fancy. She sounds way of the gas station.

[Si Robertson]

It sounds so normal, like I'm perplexed to why she's calling us.

Just north of Chattanooga. I know right where Cleveland, Tennessee is. I've shopped at that Target and ate at that Chick fil A and all the things there.

[Jase Robertson]

And memory like, all right, go to gas station snack.

[Si Robertson]

Man, I wish like hot snack or anything. Like gas station with a deli or.

[Jase Robertson]

That's the problem, Tatum.

[Si Robertson]

Gas station period here.

[Jase Robertson]

Gas stations are full bore restaurants. So we would say fried chicken thighs.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, I would say fried chicken. That's what I'd say.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. Because I mean, I think she means.

[Jase Robertson]

Like a normal people, like a snack.

Every time I stop me and sire somewhere, he says, go in and get me some what can.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, potato skin or. No, pork rinds.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Pork rinds. They have to be the hot ones. Yeah, it used to be Fritos and he got off of that. Now it's.

[Si Robertson]

He used to eat chili cheese Fritos all the time. Yep, yep, yep, yep. The. Yeah. If we're just talking about basic snacks, I always go to that little cold section and if they have one of those cheese witches. Smashing that every time. Oh, salami and pepper jack cheese. The two pieces of paper jack cheese with salami in the middle and then generally some sort of nut, peanuts, cashews, something like that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I get a Hershey bar with almonds.

[Si Robertson]

That's what I eat.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And then I get his snack for him.

[Jase Robertson]

I get whatever beef jerky I can find. But nowadays I get. Not that. Not like the weird pickle that you got in the gas. The concession stand in a bag.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no, the slice one.

[Jase Robertson]

The good one. Yeah, that high dollar pickle.

[Si Robertson]

Well, no, it's like oh snap. Oh snap. That's it.

[Jase Robertson]

I eat a oh snap pick. I walk to the gas station every day and get an O snap pickle and an energy drink.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, you like kosher's there? Yeah, with spears.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, yeah, those.

[Si Robertson]

But the O snap, these are like sliced dill pickles and they're thick.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm thinking about buying a bunch of them and making fried pickles out of the O snap pickles. Because I think that would be life changing.

[Si Robertson]

They may. That may be tough to crisp up though, because they are thick.

[Jase Robertson]

But I want to see. You know, you never know till you try.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, no, I've eaten a mini of O snap pickles.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh snap pickles, legit.

[Si Robertson]

I've also eaten a mini. A gas station boiled eggs. So like a little two packs of boiled eggs.

[Phil Robertson]

You don't want to ride with him.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, that's fine.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You're by yourself.

[Si Robertson]

And I always. Yeah, and I always drink Powerade zero. Because generally, if I'm on the road, I'm not drinking a bunch. I'm trying to stay hydrated.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But he wouldn't even give you a curse.

[Jase Robertson]

Hydration is Martin's most important feature.

[Si Robertson]

It really bothers me because I know if I get dehydrated, that left big toe is going to cause me a lot of grief. And I ain't trying to.

[Jase Robertson]

Martin been hydrated since I've known him.

[Si Robertson]

I ain't trying to get that geode.
