Episode Date: October 31, 2024

Bella Robertson Mayo gives Uncle Si the lowdown on what life has been like working for her dad’s company, Duck Commander, and the worst part of her job is kinda sorta Si’s doing. Martin looks back on the near decade that’s passed since “Duck Dynasty” and recalls some of his favorite memories that included Bella. John-David is super impressed with Bella’s husband Jacob’s vintage clothing business, even though Si can’t believe that his old closet might be full of valuable items. - Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a special quasi-guest. I mean, she's in here enough. I don't know that we have to call her a guest. But Bella's back. It's a podcast. You have to say something. You can't just wave. You can't just wave.

I forgot. I forgot. It's not video. I mean, there is video. Hey, look, she was doing what you normally do. Looking good. I always watch. Smiling.

That's right. Smiling and a way. So I'm used to that. Miley was just waving at the radio. Bella, I got a question. I watch my podcast. Do you watch our podcast? No, y'all is.

but I do watch podcast. I don't listen to them. Yeah, okay. So she watches the one she's on. She doesn't watch us on a random Tuesday. Not that microphone, apparently. Bella, question. We've had this issue brought up with other female guests we've had in the past.

So you've been on both podcasts. Do you prefer this one or perhaps the, whoa, that's good podcast? I'm just curious. Oh, that's deep. That's deep. You can say it. We are grown in here. I feel like that.

I think that the way that's good podcast, they give me at least a little bit more direction and planning beforehand. When this one I just get here and I'm like, what are we talking about? I don't know. Let's start. That's what Allison says too, and I don't get it. So would you argue which one involves more talent? There we go. One that has a plan or one that kind of wings it and makes it work.

shooting from the hip here I don't know I feel like this one is less intimidating because it's more casual but then also it's more intimidating because I have no idea what I'm going to talk about until we get here well see that's the beauty

that's the fun of it too that is the beauty that's what makes this machine work is that we don't know of course we don't have a team of people we are the team so like I mean say yeah well hey here's my deal yeah go ahead okay you plan it all out

Here's what we're going to do. And then you throw cyan and it gets derailed anyway. And then it don't work. And then, uh-oh, panic says in, now what are you going to do? The plan didn't work. Amen, buddy. Well, y'all says he's easier too. So with us, there is no plan, so there's no anticipation of anything.

Can't be let down. You can't be let down. Whatever happens. Terrible. No expectations. But people think it might be. Yeah. So they go in and they're like, could be good, could be terrible.

and then they're happy either way. There you go. I like it. Hey, at least she's honest. She said ours is less and, which is what we want to be. We want to be a friendly space that invites conversation. Y'all's is easier because there's more people too because on Cades, it's like all the spotlight is on you. Yeah.

And here I can just kind of sit back and let and side talk if I wanted to. Well, amen, sister. That's what the other three people in here for, just the steer the old man. The other podcasts around here. Well, no, but hey, the fun part of it is you never know what's going to come out of this mind. I agree with that, buddy. Okay. And look, that's, oh, that's so refreshing.

Okay. Because you have no idea where I'm going to go or what rabbit I'm going to chase, what, you know, where. Question, do you? Yeah. You know where you're going to go? No. No, you don't either. No.

Nobody knows. No. Only the father in heaven. Oh. Si just knows. Hey, I don't even think, you know, well, no, I guess he does know. I was going to say easy. Yeah.

Yeah. But, hey. I took that verse to heart, pick up your cross and follow. Yeah. He just following his own rabbit. I like it. No, I think it works. Well, those other podcasts, you know, you go in there and they're going to be like,

oh, let's talk about the Ethiopian eunuch and what that means. And we could, but we're probably going to talk about flying through the cosmos instead. Yeah. Or buffalo. Oh, no. I just saw that right there. Well, see, I would love to be able to do it, but I know I can't. Do what?

I would love to go through the cloud of Saturn, okay, and actually see what Saturn really looks like. Bet you didn't have that one on your list, didn't it? Welcome to this. Because they fly around this thing all the time, and they have no idea. Who is they? Huh? Who is they that's flying around Saturn?

The world, the ones that's his space vehicle got up. Yeah. He's talking about like satellites. Okay. So they send stuff around all the time and look, they go by it and go through the cloud, but they can't see nothing. Can't get back. Well, I'm just saying they can't see nothing.

Bella, quick, life on Saturn, yes or no? Yes. See? I would have said if they'd ask me, I would have said, if they'd ask me, I'll say, wait me now, you've got to be real careful there. Okay, because you really can't answer that. Well, yeah, we're just guessing Yeah, actually, I don't know

I was just saying yes I'm with her, I'm more of a like I really don't know I'm more of a like, why not kind of guy Who knows? It's on this planet Why not the rest of?

Yeah, why not? You know? More like a who knows. Yeah, well I On that it's not what you know It's who you know The average temperature of Saturn is negative 290

Wow, that's cold I'm out Yeah, no, I'm out Well, I wouldn't be, too. Okay. All they doing is ice fishing. Now, the moons have a better chance of inhabitating life. Yeah, but the moon's got a problem.

What? Got way too many wraps on it. It's made out of cheese. Because of the cheeks. Are Saturn's moons also made of cheese? Hey, I have another question. Do you think there's a Si tea cup on Saturn? Probably.

There's enough of them here. Probably. I will fix a way. What if there is? There may be. That would be a treasure Whoever can get to it Okay

Bella is Is it signed or unsigned? Probably signed Probably signed But So you've been here A little over a year now Right

Officially In the world of retail In the world of retail And she just recently discovered Our One of our bigger issues From back in the day

Are we gonna announce That we had an issue Have we ever discussed that? I don't think so. In public? Was I involved in this issue? Yeah, it was. I mean, your face is.

Just a little bit. Not me. It wasn't your fault. Yeah. People loved you so much. It was your fault. Yeah. I still have nightmares.

Oh, I know what issue it is. Okay. So Bella, 10 years post Duck Dynasty. That's where we're at. How many sci tea cups do we have left? How many did you finally realize that we have? Let's not talk about this. So going into it,

I thought we had about like 10,000. And that was my guess from looking at the boxes. That's too many, by the way. Okay, that was too many. That was too many for me already. And I grossly misjudged the number. And I take, okay, as someone who quit. Wait a minute.

Oh, but your last name, Aunt Robertson. Okay, you're good. Look, so as someone. I was fixed like she just said, oh, I really grossly over. Overjudged something. Underestimated. It was. Hold on.

Let me guess. Because I used to be a little bit in charge of trying to get rid of teacups. And I know the number that was three years ago, probably. But I haven't looked at it since because I walked away from that life. So three years ago. Do y'all still have 150,000 teacups? Oh, no. No, but that's great to know that that was three years ago because we've come a long way.

I threw away about 50,000. We now have. 116,000. 116,000? Maybe 115 now after this month, but yes. Well, whoever is in supply here? Look. Hey.

It's not the same person that it was. Hey, buddy. This supply is older than the preys. This summer. This was pre-Carter. Yeah, this is pre-Carter Owen. What's the plan for this summer? No, this past summer, I was like on a high.

thinking we just did the best thing ever. We sold over 3,000 side cups this summer. And I was like, we are just chipping away at this. This is amazing. She got a good rise. She came in my office. She came in my office and told me, I was like, so we got about 40 years to go, right?

No, I did the math. On the trajectory we're on right now, it'll be about 19 years. 19 years to get rid of them. How old will you be in 19? years. Well, 33.

33, because he says he's 14. At 95 years old, we will have sold the last Sight tea cup in existence. Without y'all's help. This is a shameless plug.

Will y'all please order some of these things? I need to pull them up on Duck Commander.com. We may even like buy one, get one or something. And the sad part too is,

well, we do have a deal going where if you buy four for 20. But anyway, I went to talk to Harry I was like, so what? How many did we order? Because surely we had to have ordered like a million of these. You don't want to get these.

If we have 116,000. 10 years ago, we ordered 244,000. So we've only gone down 100,000 in 10 years. Yeah. And y'all had this TV show called Duck Dynasty at that time that was really moving a lot of them. Hey, sad, you didn't ask him about the initial order. Because there was a bunch of them then. That was.

There it is. Ladies and Junk. Uncle Siye Cup. Uncle Sioux T Cup. But to be fair, to be fair, no one on the history of the planet Earth had ever been in a business, probably our size,

and then had a TV show that went to that size that had a personality of the guy sitting next to me this size and said, how many cups should we order? Yeah, and it was an impossible situation. And there were all kinds of other ones too, selling for cheaper on different websites and everything, so I'm sure. It was a conglomerant of who could have guessed how many,

but we still got them. We still got them. Look, me and Phillip are doing our part because we sell them and give them away at every event we go to. Yeah, I've made Philip a very aggressive offer on teacups. Oh, at one point, when I worked at a advantage of you. Oh, I know. Basically, I said if you'll take them with you, you can have them.

When I worked here, I just used them as disposable cups. Yeah, you can do that. I don't get a new one, never washing them. Now we need to come up with, hey, let's see how can we melt it and what else can we make out of it? The Uncle Siot teacup duck call. No. No. Hey, that's a good idea.

Yeah. That's expensive, though. Well, if you could come up with like a hula hoop, okay, they sold me of them, stupid things. That's just what we need. A duck commander. Well, I'm in a hula hoop. Hold on. The Uncle Si hula hoop.

we buy a Super Bowl commercial of him hula hooping in front of the teacups and we're billionaires. Why wouldn't we just throw the teacups away? That's too easy, Martin. It seems to be a lot easier. That's too easy. Hey, let's get. Hula, hoops. I can't even think of a name.

Let's throw this donkey away. Yeah. Anyway, well, let's take a break. Yeah, let's go to happier time. Yeah, we'll be right back. All right. Look, springtime is here. It's warming up.

You know what that means. that means more outside cook and y'all know we love to eat beef around here and that's what because of our friends over at trytales beef makes such a good product ain't it good it's so good our friend sall robertson would say

buy on the grill look before we got tritels getting ready for a cookout man somebody had to run the grocery store do all the things grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day and you never really know where that beef come to them but with tritels beef we skipped the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedails comes from a family ranch out in Texas.

They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbyes on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what,

when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living, you can taste the difference. the tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritails Beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat eater, folks.

Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. That sucker just said in an ad, Martin, something about his southern drip. Southern drip. Take a sip and flex your southern drip.

Other teas give them the, I didn't even understand half of what you said. That's my favorite. I didn't either. I'd want to send it. If I have a southern drip, I'm going to the doctor. That's all I'm saying. What does that mean? What is that?

I'm just saying, if something's dripping from the south, I'm going to the doctor. I mean, we got an issue. Like, Sa, that was the most hip. You only like miss talking about a Riz is the only thing I've heard that I don't understand. He said no cap.

Yeah. I don't know understand. Are you playing for Coach Prime now? Like, I mean, are you a Colorado Buffalo? Like, I can be.

Who fed you those words, Sa? Bella, we're going to need you to translate that ad for most of our fans. Just so I'm not confused. What is no cap? Which one is that? I believe that means.

Are you lying to me? Are you lying to me? I'm telling, like, the truth. Yeah, I ain't kidding. It's the truth. Yeah, okay. What's the words? We would have said, I'm dead serious.

And now the kids say, not what I'm saying is the truth. Okay. That's like when they, that's like when you ask somebody something and their answer is yes, but they say bet. Yeah, I hate that.

It's the same amount of letters. Like, why not just say yes? Why do I have to bet on it? Yeah, there's a lot. of this stuff I don't understand. I never thought I'd get to that point. Yeah, I'm that age. You got to put money on it.

Whenever I was like, I don't understand what the kids are saying. Yeah. But now we've come from a far. Like, is Carter come home and say stuff like, you know, check out my presidential drip. He's used a few of them. Oh, okay.

And I don't, I don't want to bring it up. Which gives me bad night. Okay. I'm like, who are you talking to? And what are you talking about? Yeah, like, oh, man. Yeah, Drew used to put, but, I mean, I felt like some of that stuff's like five years old.

Drew used to post like honeyhole drip, new honeyhole drip. Drip's a normal. No, drip is kind of old. Yeah. You know what? I'm old. I have 50. And no cap is pretty old too.

What's a new one? Can you give us a new one? Riz. I don't know. Riz. What is Riz? Riz is like charisma. Like Uncle Size got Riz.

I've been trying to figure out where Riz came from for probably two years now. That's people that struggle with them silent. Rizma. Well, they struggle with them silent letters. So they can spell R-I-Z, but they can't spell C-H-A-R-I-S-M-A. You know what the scariest part about that is? People that talk like that can vote. I said it.

Our fans will like that. Interesting. Well, there you go, Sigh. You're a genius. God, I love you. Man, you're fantastic. I just, hey, I got a guy I got to talk to. He just hits the lights, whatever.

Okay. About the cup deal. What? Oh, boy, we're back on the cuts. He might get rid of. All of them? All of them. Who?

Oh, Mark? Oh, we've tried this with Brister. Oh, you try? Oh. Yeah. It's a lot of cup. Brewster fails? Well, sigh.

It's a lot of cups. Well, normally he can sell anything. Si, if you can't sell the teacup. A hundred and sixteen thousand. Just let that marinate for a little bit. But this ain't 20,000. Hey, I wasn't very good. Hold on.

I'm actually going to do a little quick math here. I mean, 116,000 divided by this number. Si, if you were to use a brand new teacup every day. Yeah. From the time you were born, yep, until the time you were 317 years old. I will still have a month.

You would still have a couple teacups left. Yeah, okay. It's like Abraham Lincoln at 2.15 could still be using these teacups. Yeah. That's how many we have. Yeah. So, I mean, so, yeah,

folks if you're looking for a great Christmas gift. But hey, here's the deal. We're not, we're not. We're going to go back to the thing we've come up with one day. Why? If it's known, it's manageable. Yeah. Oh, it's known.

We know how many we got. We know now. It's not manageable. Hey, yeah, it is. Oh, it's management. We just got to get the right. It's manageable. And if you come into the store and you buy a teacup, you get free sweet tea.

There you go. See? That's how we've been selling a lot of them. There you go. I said, hey, if it's known as magical. They got a dirty cup to take home. Do they wash it? We don't care.

She washes it. She washes it. We don't care if they throw it in the garbage. I mean, treat that thing like a solo cup. We don't care. I mean, that ain't our department. Do whatever you will with it. Bring back the mystery box.

Yeah. That was my pride and joy. Yeah. We stole from wood. The mystery box. I heard about those. I bought a Saints mystery box on the internet. that came in the mail and it was just a bunch of garbage from the New Orleans Saints.

I was like, this is terrible. And Stephanie, who worked down the hall from me, goes, we should do that. And I looked at her and said, we should do this. Except we did put one quality item in every box. No, there was a lot of quality items. There was a side bobblehead. Yeah. There was a.

Oh, I would kill to have those right now. A duck call. See, if you ever want to know. There was like eight teacups. You ever, then boys ever get talking about who was the most famous, on that show. What show? There was only two bobbleheads we were sold out of.

That man and his brother. And Phil. We still had plenty of Jace. We still had plenty of Willie. And we still had plenty of Miss K. I'm going to tell it to you. We don't have any. Well, let me tell you,

they're at that landfill. Oh, we had a bunch of me too. Wherever the Woe Boy dumpsters took them, that's where they at. We have the ornaments right now. and we sold out of all the Sye ones. Yeah.

You sold out of Cy Christmas. Except for recently we opened some Willie boxes and there were Si in the Willie boxes. Well, praise be. That was good. Because we can get rid of them. Those Willie ones are a tougher sell. I'm trying to find a video I have on my phone from like 2015. I set up bobbleheads in the warehouse and was throwing softballs at them just for fun.

Trying to break them. I remember that. We had a lot of stuff going on. Yeah. It was wild. But we had a warehouse full of stuff that would not sell. Now we just have somebody else's warehouse because my buddy, play, who's been on this podcast, has hoarding tendencies.

And he showed up when Johnny D. and I were cleaning out the warehouse and said, y'all stop, I have a warehouse. You can put this in. But we don't want it. Like, you don't understand. I don't want to ever see it again. Yeah, we don't. And now, guess what?

we're moving back in 116,000 teacups because of my friend. That's generosity. Yeah, very, very sweet. That is insane. Very sweet, wonderful clay. So you may never see him on podcast again, but it's fun. But with that, that's the old. What about the new?

Look, I'm wearing something new right here. What? I finally have my own hat. Your own hat? You've got it. This is Martin's hat. This is called. The Martin's.

You aren't. Okay. Okay. Which I was strongly opposed to. But however, here's what I can confirm. You never told me you were opposed to it. I don't like anything with my name on it. I'm not that guy. Does that say your name on it?

No, that's just what it is in the system. However, for you folks at home, if you are looking for a big head friendly hat. Head over to Honeyhole. Well, March. This one will work. Okay. Yeah, Honeyhole got something. Yeah, Johnny D got big head too.

So I'm not trying to outcompete him. No, I was joking. I'm just saying. We have one that will fit big heads now and fit them well. Like most of my hats kind of have a little, no, this one's good. So if you need a big head friendly hat for Christmas, I got you. This is, and this all came about because somebody sent me one and I took a picture and sent to Jennifer. I was like, hey, this hat actually fits big heads.

It's a good looking hat. So there you go. Yeah, brand new. Brand new. Get it now. I don't know. But anyway. So Bella, how is life in the store?

After a full year at Duck Commander, working in the family business, what are your thoughts? What are my thoughts? Yeah, this is fine. Your dad doesn't listen, so it doesn't matter. Your mom does sometimes. Be careful. Yeah, no, your mom will listen because you're on. Yeah.

No, I love it. It's fun. We have a lot of fun up here. What's your favorite thing about working? I mean, the side cups is like the bait of my existence, but. You didn't hit K, did you? Oh, you did? I was trying to make social media stuff.

and then it didn't, it never got used. But yeah, you can't knock Kay's head off. And y'all badmouthed me for taking a nap? What? I never badmouthed me. Hey.

I was trying to come up with a plan for people to destroy the products that they bought and then post them on social media. That was my thought. Like, we're going to sell bobbleheads and whoever destroys it in the best way, we're going to give a trip.

And it never came to place. Well, I could have told them to do that. Go to Salvation. army by your machine gun and ammo. Yeah, that would have been a fun video. I had set them up and I have a blad. And Stair, Kay's head just goes tumbling. We have one in the store right now.

We just have them kind of like his decoration since we don't actually have them anymore. And we have this one of Jace that's headless. Headless. But we have the head separately. I always try to glue it on and it never works. It just falls off randomly. but how is the reason i kind of interrupted that with the video no yeah that's what your your favorite thing about working at duck commander what's your favorite thing

i like this this is fun this is the exercise i do this is i'm nervous did your dad do you a favor by hiring you or did he you you know what am i looking for to be fair Okay, I'll say my favorite thing. Entrap you forever to the world. Yeah, you know, I was not a prank. No, I'll say my favorite thing, and it's actually not funny. It's actually serious. But my favorite thing is honestly seeing all the old, like, footage and pictures of Papal Phil and all the family

and, like, the nostalgia of, like, this is, you know, my family, you know? That's my favorite part. You are surrounded by every day of family history. Yeah, that's really cool part of it. Okay, so now we know your favorite. What's your least favorite? There we go. That's the one.

part. They're right behind me. Ding, ding, ding, ding. One day, get a softball and just start going. You can't get away from them. Or you just have Hunter walk by them and they fall back. It doesn't matter. Just don't let Hunter near the pallets of them.

You want to know what one of my favorite parts of working here was? Midday soccer. Uh-oh. That's Bella. Messing with Willie and Corey's kids when they were. Oh, that's Bella. Bella, what? That was right beside the video.

That's 2000. We were trying to sell side cups, and Bella would always be passed out random nooks and crannies of the office or in somebody's car. Now, she would sleep like Si. You, and I don't know if you still can, but she could sleep like Sai anywhere. I literally woke her up and screamed at her. You're tired, boy. No, when Will used to drive me to school every day, he would want to leave for school so early. And so I would ride with him, and I would just sleep in the car.

and he would get out of the car and leave me going to school. And I would just sleep until the bell rang and I would jump up and hear the bell and run into school every day. Bell of more of an online school kind of girl. That's true. That's the truth. The schools start at 8 a.m. Why not? If you can do it, why not?

Are the store hours now that you're in charge like noon to four? They're 9 to 5. 9 to 5, baby. Let's check it. Not 9. Got her. Oh, man. I really didn't peg the teacups as the least favorite.

That was, I mean, that's funny. I still have nightmares. Ah, it's fine. I don't even, I mean, who cares at this point? Me? Why? You didn't do it. Me.

You didn't do it. Yeah, but it's nothing that you did. I mean, we're not going to throw shade of the people who did it. Somebody did not think this through. We started to do. We had that plan back in the day of like having you, filming you, like, at a desk like you were actually back working here and falling asleep on the computer and ordering like oh that was however many we got like your head just fell out i can really have

a really funny idea for a video for the teacups that needs you involved in oh he'll do it because because if you really because all my military career i was i was in supply so and i was very good yeah There was a lot of officers that come into my shop and said, hey, you know, and handed me a requisition to say, I need this. And I said, I'll have to order it. I would look at it and just say how I have to order it. Well, I think. And they would blow a gasket.

He said, you don't understand. I'm 82nd airborne. We're fixing to go to war. I need it now. And I said, well, dude, you're going to have to wait because you don't understand. I'm zero balance. Yeah. See, so you didn't get that, Gene of, like, we're scared to run out of something.

Yeah. Yeah. I didn't either. Like, I don't mind running out. I don't mind being at zero. Because I was always checking, okay, yeah, and keeping on top of everything. Johnny Dee's got that gene in him. I see, I go to the honey hole.

I know. They ain't ever out of anything. There is currently about 80 boxes of rides on the front porch of the honey hall right now. They have to go back and sort it. Which I will say for you guys, y'all don't make your own product. I mean, other than shirts and hats. So, like, to have a good retail store, you've got to have stuff. If you ain't got it, they ain't coming back.

Well, they ain't about it. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. For sure. They're going somewhere else. However, when you make the product, it's okay to run out every once in a while. And I tell you a story that's funny about retail. That's not an issue.

Because I come from a retail family. My uncle runs a certain grocery store. I won't say which one, but it's not based out of Arkansas. It's the super one. Yeah, it's really, it's a super one. Yeah. but he used to back in his more nefarious days like before the 4th of July he would go into the competitor out of Arkansas

like a mart beside a wall and he would buy all their ketchup that way when people would go to Walmart they would be like this place never has ketchup I'm never coming back here and get pissed there you go that's a good idea it's not a terrible idea

other than you got to come off the hip for the well then he just put them on his show Yeah, I mean, yeah, he could at least get his money back, I suppose. But he was making like two cents apiece instead of, you know, 50 points or whatever he was making off of it. But no, it's interesting. I always wonder, you know, because like we worked here through the time. It was always fun to try to guess of the kids that were going to come back in the business. Bella, you were probably the last guess.

Me too. Me too. I mean, I probably had Bobby lower than Bella and so far. No, Bobby was higher. Bobby was definitely higher, Will. Because he was going to have to. Oh, yeah. Like you just expected him to be, well, Will, you got to come back.

It's a necessity for you to come back because this is the only place that will hire you. But for Bella, that we thought, I'm just kidding. I'm just messing with. Will's actually crushing it out in Texas on his own, which is awesome. I got Martin with that one.

That's a good one. I can't say that because I still work here, but you'd say whatever you want. Yeah, yeah, I'm just laughing. But yeah, I would have had Bobby below Bella. So, so far still good. But y'all were definitely the bottom, too. Never were.

No doubt about that. Like, to run as far away from this place as they could get. What time's pickleball today, Bella? Uh-oh. For Jacob? I don't know. Maybe you play pickleball in the middle of the day, too. No.

That's Jacob's thing. She's here. She doesn't go to recess. Jay Stone is visibly upset. Every time he finds out people play pickleball. not at the time that Jay would play it. Yeah, not after work hours. Yeah, not after standard working hours.

I played with Allison the other day, and Drew told me he said Allison's the only person I know who loves pickleball as much as Jacob. I was like, that is scary. Yeah, she's obsessed with it. Is she really? Yeah. What's she like more?

Pickleball or that new griddle? Both. Yeah. Is she good? Yeah, she's decent. She's pretty good. She's got a good serve. It's not as good as Jacob.

Jacob's, unfortunately. Jacob was, like, fun to play with, and now he's not. Well, I think Piggleball. Because he just beats you real bad. Well, yeah. Him and Drew, though, they go out of it. The other day, Drew beat him.

The problem is they're hustling an old man's game. Like, this was designed for old country club men. They couldn't play tennis no more. Yeah. Yeah. And then a bunch of young kids started playing it. And they're like, well, this sucks. Like, you know, now the country,

now they're back to playing regular golf out there at the country club. Like, they got off at because young boys moved in and started taking all their money. You know? Like, that's just, that's an unfortunate truth of what pickleball was designed for. It's a bunch of guys that sell hats and t-shirts on the internet and then by 2 o'clock they got all their orders filled and they're out there that's the job.

Jacob and Drew. Jacob sells vintage clothes. What's his website? General vintage. There you go. There you go. And he's got all sorts of stuff. General vintage. Yeah, you ever want somebody else's old clothes? Jacob's the guy to call. It's the most genius thing I've ever seen. Come by our house. He's actually making money doing it.

Yeah, it's crazy. Si, I'm telling you. Hey, half of you. He sells some shirts for a crazy mountain. Oh, no, no. That's right. And he's the one hustling and finding him. It's like 19.8.

Look, right now on his website. Well, you need to talk to Jacob about these stupid cups. They're not old enough to be vintage yet. Not yet. Yeah. He's the one that's going to have to sell him one day. Look, he's just got size pants from the 80s. and people are going to buy them.

Wow. It's brilliant, is what it is. And then he gets to play pickleball at two. Meanwhile, I'm sweeping out a cricket cage. And Stone's trying to kill people with his hands. I'm going to make it out like a big deal, but he goes like to Jiu-Jitsu at like 3 p.m. So, I mean, like, it's not.

Well, let's just start my favorite. Yeah. But I mean, it's not that much different. That's all I'm getting at. Like, it's just a weird. Everybody's got their own thing, boys. It's a bizarre thing. So Bella, going in the holiday season, what are you most excited about?

It's retail. Like, this time you actually have fun, move stuff, move product. What are you most excited about going into the holiday season? I'm excited about a lot of the new products we're having this winter. We have a really, really cool coffee can for Christmas. Oh, I saw that. With a matching mug. Yeah, it was on your desk.

That's really cool. Uncle, I mean, how about Phil? looks like Santa. It's really cute. And I'm excited about that. I'm excited about all the people coming in the store and decorating the store is my favorite part. There you go.

The store always looks better at Christmas time. The world always. Smells better too because y'all put like some pines in and something like. It smells like Christmas. Like it's a cool deal. So if you are in there, you stop by, see. See what Bella's doing in there. She's moving and shaking, man.

I legitimately not because you're sitting here, not I tell the people I have been super proud of the job that you're doing in that store so that's real that's authentic that's not just because you're here because I mean you know we got close enough her relationship I'd trash you if I needed to but but you give me no reason to yeah it's it's fun like it's fun working with you I never thought I'd get to say that but it is fun working with Bella as a guy who used to be her chauffeur um it toughest part of that job was just waking her up yeah Yeah, as a guy who used to quasi work for her. Now I work with her.

And she's crushing it. Yeah, she is. She's killing. I was just about, but I was shopping here while we're sitting here on Jacob's website and I found the world's greatest t-shirt. Uh-oh. That's Chennai,

from 1999. That is my size. You're not, are you? I was thinking about it. How much is it? Oh, wow. Do people pay that, Bella? A hundred bucks.

That is on his website. Yeah. But you should see this. Shina is awesome. Don't get me wrong, but I... $100? You should see the stuff he sells on eBay. That's where he sells, like, his collector's items.

Crazy. You married Janice Owen. He sold, like, shirts for, like, $700 for a shirt. Really? Mm-hmm. Was Shania Twain on it? No, like... What's on the $700 ship?

You need to invite... Like, Carly Davidson or something. You need to invite Jacob to your house. And y'all need to work a business deal because you got closets full of stuff that'd be very... at this point. If you could find that SI jacket.

Oh, man. We could sell that thing. Hanging it up. See? Well, you know, because of his job, every time we go anywhere, we have to go to all the vintage thrift stores and stuff he wants to go to.

So when we were in Paris, a few years ago or last year, we went to, no, no, no, Paris, France. Oh, we went to this, like, thrift store thing, and we found, like,

three or four Uncle Sack shirts in the thrift store in Paris, France. Oh, praise God. I bet I know the company that bought those two to originally get them there. I sold them to them. We found the Oseo International. We find an Uncle Sasch shirts everywhere. Yeah.

Hey, he's an international superstar. I got to give Jacob his props. He has a T-shirt on his website that says an entire evening with John Michael Montgomery, 1997. What I do best. That is phenomenal. Life's a dance, right? Oh, man. I went down to the ground

He's got a shirt with about anybody you can think of of on it That's amazing That's fun Well he's not I think dealer is what he really is

Yeah except it's closed That other people Well no no But that's pretty cool Okay This is it Really is

We got Jeff Gordon shirt That is That is wild For $125 $125 It can be yours He does have That he kept

For himself It's a Duck Commander 500 Oh That one He cannot wear it up here. He wears it all the time.

Do you know what's got more scar tissue than them teacups? That NASCAR race. All three years of it. We're about to go on a bad road. Well, no, I just, here's my issue with NASCAR. I love y'all, NASCAR people. He doesn't. We got to figure out a way where these races don't go to Monday

because everyone we sponsored never happened on Sunday. That was true. I mean, it never had. We never completed it on Sunday. Like, we need a dome. We need something, or they need some, like, water tires and windshield wipers or something. Because, like, we always sat there till midnight. They'd call the race.

We'd spend another night. We'd have to do it Monday at 1 o'clock or something goofy. And then we didn't get home until Monday night slash Tuesday morning sometime. So I knows he was at all of them, too. I mean, those were the longest days that we ever have. with that Saturday and Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. It was all I remember was the chicken strips in the suite. But yeah, and we had to pay for that.

She was 14. Well, we had to pay for that. It was ridiculous. You paid a sponsor of the race and you don't even get free food. I need to go buy some scratch-off tickets and then I'm going to Jacob's website and going wild. Just come to the warehouse and there's all kinds of crazy stuff. Just go shopping at her house. Like Bella don't care?

That's what I do. Yeah, they got too much stuff anyway, don't he? They look at her. So does Jacob have inventory problem? Oh, so you're surrounded by inventory problem. But Jacob's inventory is so different. I can't even help him because everything is one of one. So it's like you can't count.

Like you really can't keep up with it. You just, everything is one of one. He just buys it on the website. I mean, it really is a mess. But it's, there's so much stuff. We have 10,000 pieces of clothes. Because if you wanted a 1999, sting, out of the darkness, faded t-shirt.

There's only one guy that's got it. And it's Jacob. I wasn't even thinking about the wrestler. I thought we were talking about the musician. No, the wrestler fetched way more money than the musician. Wow. Yeah, the musician don't get paid no money. And then there's a lot of cool, like, if you were a Braves fan,

there's you a 1998, Atlanta. Oh, when they were good. Oh, zing. But yes, when they were good. Well, he better, I guess you could order. Do you buy stuff now in the hopes that one day it'll be vintage? Every time I've ever done that, it does not work out. Say the Dodgers win the World Series.

Did you buy like one of each size and just hold them back for 15 years and say, oh, vintage World Series shirt, never worn. I mean, does that, I don't know. I'm just curious on. My dad has collected quite a bit of stuff like that. Your dad. But he's given some to Jacob to sell. Your dad.

has got more than hoarding tendencies. He's an actual hoarder. Well, Jacob is too. Jacob's definitely a hoarder. But thankfully he sells it. Yeah, he's hoarding for a purpose. Yeah. Yeah, well, they just horde so, because it's there.

Like, it's wild. Jennifer Allen, who works here, she came in town a few weeks ago. And I'm like, I'm trying to stop all this buying and hoarding. and she comes in town with like 200 hats for Jacob to look through. Jacob shows up at the office. I'm like, what are you doing here? He's like, I'm just doing something. He's in the conference room.

He's picked out like 60 hats from Jennifer's collection. Was this one of them? A 1990s domino pizza trucker hat? Okay, that's tight. That's what I'm saying. There's something for everyone on this website. I did not plan on doing a full commercial for Jacob's website today, but I'm actually loving it.

Hey, you know who else? Jacob probably needs to get to know as Hunter. Hunter's got some weird clothes Hunter hasn't worn a shirt from this decade in like a decade Hunter and one now yeah but I mean you know how cool a Necro-Goblican shirt's going to be

in 17 years? It's not cool now oh wow yeah but it will be wow wow what's the most interesting thing Jacob Solsey now I'm kind of curious in your opinion

I mean he's probably got his own opinion but like has there been like one interesting thing he showed up with that y'all just couldn't part with together okay that comes straight out of a truck stop wow somebody got that for father's day and had to feign happiness that said golfing forever yard work whenever well sometimes he gets some like he finds stuff well most of the time when he buys stuff or not most of the time but sometimes when he buy stuff he will be like you can have it all, but you have to take it all, so he'll have to take home, like, someone's full trailer of stuff, you know, and then weed through and go get rid of the rest of it.

It should be a TV show. Yeah, but a lot of times he finds, like, some things. That's a treasure hunt every once in a while. That aren't necessarily appropriate for his page that he sells on, like, other, like, eBay and stuff like that or Craig's List or something. Right. Now I'm like. So that's the interesting stuff sometimes.

I'm like, you cannot sell that on your page. And so he'll go and, like, sell it on something else, like, eBay or something. something like t-shirts that say like inappropriate things or something yeah i need to see that i need to see that she's not going to tell us what they say no but you can ask him i'll send you that's probably where hunter's grandpa when he came in the honey hole that's where he got that inappropriate t-shirt hunter do you remember what it said about the fishing pole it was very inappropriate jake umbel who i went to elementary with war one every day yeah for like probably eight years.

See, I was up in that Husky section. What's it say? They just had pictures of like dogs surfing and stuff. Jacob has, I think, a hat that says that on it. Yeah. The big dogs. And probably like some... Dogs was spelled D-A-W-G.

Yeah. Remember, no fear. Yep. Yeah, no fear. So this is something interesting, I would say. So like, in our guest bathroom, we have this, like, dresser thing that was there when we bought the house. And it's really pretty.

It's like an antique dresser thing. well Jacob cleans, so every hat he gets, he cleans, like meticulously cleans and stains treats with a toothbrush. Like, he really cleans every hat because a lot of them are dirty or whatever. So he cleans them all in the bathtub of our guest bathroom. And then he sets them all in this dresser, this old, beautiful antique dresser to dry. So our bathroom is just full of, like, hats everywhere. And every time we have guests over, someone will, like, go to use the bathroom and come out and be like, can I have this hat? And I have a friend who just literally came to stay at our house and like she came out with these like three hats to buy and she's been wearing them all the time. And she's like, I can't tell anyone I got these from Jacob's bathroom.

What? That's brilliant. He's selling everywhere. Yeah. Hey. Like that's yeah, just house guests. Tell him pickleball tonight, our house and bring me a hat. You're going to play for shirts. Yeah, we're going to play for clothes. That's fantastic. That is. Yeah. There's, there's, there's, there's, there's, core memories being unlocked there. That's fun. Well, he also sun fades all of them, like, or not all of them, but a lot of stuff, he sun fades. So our yard is just covered in clothes all over the yard,

all over the driveway covered in clothes. There's clothes lines with clothes. Clothes are all over our house. He's purposely fading clothes and selling them for more money. Yeah. Welcome to 2024. Yeah. Proud to know the guy.

Proud to be an American hunter. Oh, no, the same thing was with a holes in them. Yeah. They pay. Mm-hmm. an exorbit price for blue jeans with holes in them you mean like this yeah yeah where's the rest of them size yeah hey before we get into the email inbox though and i got holes in my underwear brittany made me throw them away oh by might get ripped off

i got to do one thing before we end the show yeah go ahead that's telling us to wrap up but that's perfect Alexis had a birthday party for her boyfriend that's the one from yesterday yeah yeah tight. Is that AI? No, not Alexa. Not that Alexa. Not Alexa played.

There's a guy out of the world. His name is Ian. Ian is the biggest duck call room fan in the world, according to her. He had a duck call room birthday party, complete with our faces on sticks, duck dynasty memorabilia. And seeing my face on a stick is a proud moment in my life. at a birthday party. But seeing Godwin with his shirt off on a stick is the most fantastic thing I've ever seen.

Yeah, I sent him. So she sent me a deal. And I read all my messages for the most part. And she was, she went, she showed me what they were doing first. So then I sent him a video that said, happy birthday.

But she sent it on like a Friday. She's like, if all you guys are duck around, I was like, that's cute. this is Friday. I'm the only one here. So happy birthday, Ian.

Like, you know, isn't that his name, Ian? Yeah. Yeah. Ian, I just told her, send me the pictures and we'll give him a Halloween shout out since he's going aside for Halloween.

But I didn't know we'd made it to the birthday party section of life. Hey, and if you want to do, hey, next time if you want to do your birthday party here, we're doing them here at the warehouse too. So, like, we can. Ian, you're probably too old for that, but we,

I want you to have your next birthday party here at Duck. No, you're not too. You're never too old for that. Is that an R.C. Cola? Or is that just a Pepsi? Oh, now we're zooming in in the bathroom. Is it a moon pie? Would it?

That's disturbing if they're drinking R.C. Cola or maybe. It's got to have a moon pie. Or Pepsi either way. They're drinking R.C. Cola, it's got to have a moon pie. Happy birthday, Ian. Yeah, happy birthday. Your girlfriend likes you a lot.

There you go. That's what we were supposed to say. Yeah. Well, anyway, you want to send us out here? You got us one? Shoot. Bella, you got this one? Bella, what's your favorite Bible verse?

Psalms 126-5

Those who sow with tears Will reap with songs of joy I love that verse Is that for your cultivate LA group? Yeah so that's cool That's a lot of things going on Oh that's what I'm talking about
