Thanks so much for the support. I know we all feel it, the support, the love, the prayers, the well wishes, all the things. We appreciate you guys, but wanted to hop on before this, before we get started on this episode and let you know, this is just part of the business. It was pre-recorded. It's got to drop tonight. So hope you guys enjoy this episode. It's a good one now. It is great.

It's great because we're talking about something big coming, the revival, baby. Doug Dynasty, the revival. We're going to sit down and talk with Corey about everything that's been going on in the show. but hope you guys enjoy and we'll see y'all right now because here we come welcome back to the duck call room ladies and gentlemen we are here with the three that you know and we have a very special guest miss cori's back Boss lady's back. No, I know. Dramatic pause. Well, the three that you expect, and then the fourth chair is always a fun revolving door,

but Corey is back joining. He said three that you know. I was like, no, I'm pretty honest. Well, everybody knows. I'm talking about that you expect. I misspoke. I'll appreciate the drama in that part. She's a big deal, man.

Pretty big deal. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying the drama was fun and how it's delicious. She's actually, you know what I have to say it. We say it. The boss is here. Yeah, the boss is here, man. She's such a boss lady.

She's such a big deal. That's always a big deal. She's just Corey Robertson on Instagram anymore now. She's no longer the Boss Hogg's wife, everybody. She is Corey. Dot Robertson. That's it. Yes.

That was kind of a big deal, actually. It made me uncomfortable. Did it? I'm just kidding. Didn't make it uncomfortable. Well, here's the thing. I had set up Boss Hogg's wife in 2012. I was about to guess 13, but yeah.

Winnie 12. That was the early days of Instagram when everyone was doing these little like quirky, kind of like punny names. Yeah. And I was like, I need something interesting like all the cool people have. And so I went with Boss Hog's wife. And then I just never changed it. And interestingly, our kids, when they were like teenagers, I thought about changing it. And they were like, no, no, no, mom, leave it. So out of deference to our kids, deference.

That's how you say that, to our kids. I kept Boss Hogg's wife for a long time. And so then finally I was just like, you know, with the new show coming out and all that, I feel like it's just time, even though I'm still boss hog's wife, obviously. I'm still happily married to the Boss Hog himself. Because that's what the internet would do with it, right? Oh, she changed her name. They must be struggling.

Exactly. Trouble in paradise. Are they in counseling? Does she finally get tired of his big hairy butt? Let me just be very clear. I'm still very happily married. to Willie Robertson. How do you know his butt's hairy?

I've seen it. I was about saying because I can confirm. I'm not commenting on that at all. You probably've seen it as well. I'm just going to move on from that. All four of us have seen Willie's butt in this room for sure. No doubt. I probably changed his diaper.

Yeah. I may have seen it hairless though. That may be the only difference. I didn't know we were going there. Sorry. Welcome back to the duck car room. Yeah. So we're happily.

married still but you know there's a time and a place for everything and it just felt like today's instagram social media world it just should be my actual name yeah i like it made the change cori dot robertson there you go it's a good one very simple there is another cori robertson spelled exactly like my name that we found like years ago and which is odd because my spelling of my name is different yeah and unique and it's not even your name well that's true That is true. It is a nickname. Well,

I use Pellettit. Wait, that isn't your name at all. I feel like I know that, but I just, I was like, yes, because she's Leslie Corp. Hey,

don't say the real one. I'm not giving out her speaker. While I do have her social security numbers still memorized, I'm not giving that out. Why don't you skip my social security number? I got it. I got it.

You want your credit card number? I still got that one too. And the old AMX number. No. Lori is a nickname from the name Corrin. My name is actually. Corrin named after my grandmother who was Corrine. Then it kind of evolved into Corrin and then evolved into Corey, Corey.

And so I've always called my Corey. But it's a different spelling. And there is another actual Cory Robertson spelled exactly like me. And now most people just call you KK. True. Yeah. The grandkids are switching it over to KK. Just KK.

But you know, Zane calls me K-Mama and now some of the older grandkids are starting to say K-Mama too. So I'm kind of like. Oh. It's still in flux. Yeah, because your mother's two mama, right? Two mama. Yeah.

So now we got... I met somebody the other day with somewhere. They've had two mama and two dads. Really? Yeah. Yeah. And I said, well, that's okay. Man, what a lot.

I didn't know we were going to start there, but that is an interesting one. The change of the Instagram world. That's big news. It is. No, I liked it. It's much easier to find out now. I read the whole post about it, actually. So I was like...

Hey, O. Yeah. I mean. just realized because I've always had an older cousin named Corey, how else would you spell it? What do you mean? I thought hers was the normal way to, she's like, that's the weird way to spell it. That's not the normal way to spell Corey? A lot of people spell with a C.

C-O-R-E-Y is what I would say is the most common. Or just C-O-R-Y. C-O-R-Y? Yeah. That's what I would say the most common way of spell like Corey would be, would start with a C. Well, Corey, and Corey is definitely could go either way. female. I know a lot of male corries. You go either way. Yeah. So that's interesting. I like it. I like the, I like the, but we've got you on here because we, something's happening in a few days that maybe, I'm sure the listeners here know about, but the revival starts in just a few days from now. We wanted to just chat, chat about all things revival, chat about season one kind of preparation.

because we can start to tear back the wall on it a little bit. We're not going to spoil anything for the fans, obviously, because we want y'all to see it and some of the stuff we still haven't seen. So, yeah, I don't know. I've got a question. We'll go ahead, like Daddy. Okay, what's your prediction on is the fans going to like it or thumbs down or whatever? Well, I hope it's not thumbs down.

I hope the fans like it. Even if you think that's why, because we're trying to get people to. to watch. I think that's why I said. What's your real true opinion, though? How are they going to take it? Of course, there's always that fear because you're just like, we've been working on something for so long.

We've been, everyone's putting their heart and soul into this for months and months and months. And then, of course, the hope is that everyone's going to love it. And, you know, but there's always that little inkling of like, what if they don't? You know, what if you're putting yourself out there. in a way that's very different. And so anyway, I mean, I think people are going to love it. I think it's really fun.

We've had a great time shooting it. And, yeah, June 1st, 8 o'clock. Okay. That's one of it actually. First. I have a question for Seth. Are you going to watch this one or? Of course he will.

No, he will because we'll have a premiere party. He'll see the first one. Well, that I'll see it. Yeah, he'll see the first one. Here's my, here's my, partake on it. Okay. If that's the right time.

Yeah. Okay. I think they'll love it. Okay. Thank you. Because of all, okay, because everybody, in Willie's family,

okay, the kids. It's all of his kids. Yeah. Well, hey, we got a lot of talent, okay? I don't know if you would call it that, but I mean, just the,

what's the word I'm looking for? The variety. Diversity. Yeah, the diversity of all of them. That's true. Okay. Because I learned a lot filming it, okay? And, you know, some of it is really hilarious.

And when I get tickle, it's funny. Up until a couple of weeks ago, he didn't know Bobby's adoption story. Ain't that something? Yeah. I just, I don't know what I was thinking. I remember when y'all said we're getting a baby, but I just, it didn't hit me. I said, good grief. When you told the story, I said, I was a shot.

I said, because I didn't even fake that way. Yeah. Well, sometimes whenever you just live it, you don't think to tell the story. We've done that before where like our kids have listened to us, tell a speech, and they're like, we didn't even know that. And we're like, how did you not know that? You were there. It's like, yeah, when you're living there.

I know, sometimes I say something and they said, what? When was you dad? Stop. And I said, hey. That's the reason you're going to have to watch this season because you'll learn stuff too. Well, no, no, because I did with all the kids. Yes. Okay, because when Bobby was on the podcast and told me about all the stuff,

and I said, that is so cool. That's great. That's awesome. Okay, it really, I said, it really is that you got to know your biological family. Yeah. You know, I said, you got to know the granddad. And, you know, I said, yeah. I said, man, that's fantastic.

It is. It's amazing. Okay. And then I had a brother and didn't know it. He was a friend of his, okay. Boy, his best friend. And didn't know. And if I come to find out.

Hey, he's my brother. That's the kind of story that, like, if you wrote it in like a movie, you would be like, oh, that was fake, but it's real life. Oh, no. Like, you can't write that any better than what happened because God writes. Right now, just thinking about it when he was telling it. God writes the best story. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because that was so cool that he grew up with a kid and then come to find out, hey, he's my biological brother. It's. And then he got to meet his biological grandfather. Okay. and they've got a real good, his mom and the family has got a good relationship with it.

It's an answer to so many parents. Yeah, no, no, that's so amazing when you think about it. It just goes to show you how little this world really is when it gets right down to it. That's so true. But, I mean, I was just amazed by, you know, just when he told it. Yeah, I'm amazed by the stories. And you were there. What was the body?

Bobby said, yeah, I'm the black sheep of the family literally. Yeah. You know, and I just said, yeah, okay. Don't me taking a man's material. Well, I'm just saying. He's a professional at that. Well, we told him we can't say that. You know, he said, well, I can.

So it was, it was really just to honor to listen to his story on the podcast. It really was. All right, look, springtime is here. It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know. love to eat beef around here.

And that's what, because of our friends over at Tritels Beef, makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao 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 comes from. But with Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritales 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 ribbys 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 TriTales beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She ain't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah.

Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. There's a lot more stories to tell. So that's what I feel like doing Duck Dynasty. When it was over, I didn't think we would do Duck Dynasty again because I was like, we did it. it was great, it's done. But then, if you do a follow-up, it's kind of just, well, it's just the same. Our TV's not working, but I do have this photo of what your family looked like when Duck Dynasty first happened.

No, no, that's the main thing, okay, is your kids literally grew up in the Duck Dynasty. So when Duck Dynasty season one premiered, March 21st, 2012, I did that without looking. Just trivia. If I ever go on Jeopardy and Duck Dynasty shows up, I'm winning. Anyways, you had four children. Yeah. How many people are at family dinner now at your house? Four?

Well, I had five. Oh, five. Rebecca was a part of family. But she was away at college. Actually, interestingly. Yeah, she wasn't here. I read this. I didn't even know this.

She does not show up on Duck Dynasty until season five. I didn't even realize that. She was in Baton Rouge, living her best life down at LSU. She was at LSU. Then she went to L.A. and so when she kind of comes on the scene, the Dynasty World was season five, which I didn't even realize that.

Season five, I don't know if y'all know this. It started with two bangers, according to me and Rebecca. Well, you were season five too? That premiere night was those two. Season five was me and Rebecca, class of 2007. That's funny. I didn't realize that. Our foreign exchange cousin was like that.

So I think I didn't really necessarily think we would do it again, but eight years later it's like so much has changed. So much has grown. What's the number? I can't even tell you. Oh, wow. We'd have stopping due to the math. Well, no, no, because I think, hey, I know this.

20 of us around the table. It was six. Now there's 20. Yeah, it's a crew. Yeah, it's a crew. When the family gets to the guy now, it is in the group. Well, we go on family vacation. We have to rent like four cars.

So that'll tell you how big it is now. Or a bus. Yeah. And not to mention, there's another one coming. John Luke's not five. I think say. John Luke's got three. We have... John Luke's a five pack.

Rebecca's a five pack. 10. Sadie's a four and a half pack. 14 and a half. Willie and I. Willie and Corey, they're 16 and a half. Round dog. 17 and a half.

Bobby Abby. 19 and a half. Bella, Jacob, and their dogs. 21 and a half. We're at 21 and a half people in the current Willie Corey family. Around our dinner table. Yes. So there's a lot that has happened in these.

eight years. I mean, we were on a clip of about two grandkids a year and one like marriage, one wedding, two grandkids every year. So yeah, we've grown a little bit. There's a lot more stories to tell is what we're saying here. So there's a lot more to see on Duck Dynasty of the revival for sure. Yeah, 100%. All the people are new. And y'all are all a part of it. Yeah. I think we could tell this, spoiler, but Duck Call Room podcast is really a part of the show. We might show up from time and time. Yeah. We take the place of the vintage duck call room.

We are in the duck call room that everybody knows. And it's still functioning pretty good. You could still make duck calls in here, but now it's just a studio. The other ones right down the street from us. But yeah, no, it's been fun. I don't know. Working with everybody again, right? Because like we went through so many years where it was just, we were back in the office

and people were gone and away, but now everybody's kind of sent. centralized again. So it's been, it's been fun. Who has surprised you the most? I'm just curious. Out of your, the talent. I mean, because we all know, right? Like, Sadie rock star, right? I mean, she's as talented as they come, right? So, like, we already knew that, though. So that's why I'm like, I'll fix cycles. There ain't nothing. I'm just going to say that woman can't do. Yeah. But I do remember a certain karate kid with the stink eye on Duck Dynasty one that I'm looking forward to seeing more of that. Bella Luke, she gave the camera.

Ella always surprises us. You know, like she came in and just rock the store management and what she's doing. Now she's doing this television show and she's rocking it in this. John Luke is hilarious. Will is great. You know, he has an incredible voice.

He has a very special moment coming up in one of the episodes that y'all are going to see. Everybody, but I'll tell you, this is funny. We were just talking about this. Christian. Sadie's husband, Christian. He has come a long way.

He's come a long way. And he is hilarious on the show. He's having fun with it. And we filmed the scene the other day. Well, we did something the other day that the cameras were following us on. And Christian had to dress up in costume. And let me just say, no one had more fun than Christian Huff in that costume. He loves it.

He did slow motion reels. did. He lived it up. So that's been fun to see. And all of everybody, everybody, this has been great. And of course, Rebecca is, you know, her funny, quirky self. And you know what else? It's weird. It's like weird. It's weird. Here's the thing too. The grandkids, we did not think the kids were going to be, you know, I mean, there's kids. Who knows what they'll do. And they are awesome. They are in a lot of the episodes. They're a big part of it. And also you get to see like real life moments of what happens. One of the best parts of this doing this, okay,

was the expressions on all the little ones' face during some of this stuff. You didn't tell them about nine again, did you? No, no. Yeah. But what was John Luke's daughter's name? Ella. Ella? Ella.

I love watching Ella because you talk about some expressions. You can tell there's something going on. Oh, no. Yes. eyes on Ella. Everybody's talking and she ain't even fought it. But something is said and you'll see a light bulb click on Ella's face. Yeah.

And she's going. Yeah, she got a little mischievous. No, no. She's, that's when I've seen to look. I said, she's up to something. You're going to hate to watch that show. Yeah, because her and my boys were in the Petten Zoo at Camp this weekend at the Sportsman's Day deal that we had. And, man, I felt bad for them ducks and everything.

They was all trying to put them in a daggum chokehold over here. Like, yeah, just headlock them. I mean, all they're wanting to do is hold them. And they're watching everybody else do it. But everybody else can pick them up like this. But they're, you know, they're two, three, four years old. So they just got to grab whatever they can grab, man. I'm like, hey, let that thing go.

Like, leave that poor duck alone, man. Like, but it is, you can see her cut them eyes and make a plan. Si has been really funny. I think you're going to, the fans are going to love seeing Si with the grandkids. Oh, man. Because you're always good with kids. I've always, I'm learning so much. Because John Lucas has got to place it to Job.

True. You know. Yes. And then like Christian has come a long way. Because I had had to get on to him in a scene. Okay. And that's part of it, me getting on everybody. Yeah.

Okay, but anyway, I got on him and just from the look, when we stopped filming, I said, I said, I was a Christian. I said, look, I love you. I love you. I said, this is just for TV. I said, don't even pay no attention to what I say about you, okay, because I actually like you. That is so funny. Yeah, we always have to have that conversation.

It's like, look, before we started Duck Dynasty, is that conversation like, look, this is all in good fun. Nobody, you know. Yeah, nobody. Don't wear your heart on a sleeve. We're going to do this? You'll be toast. That's one of the main things that I've always told the fans.

I said, hey, look, I said, we live with each other for the whole time of Duck Dynasty. And I said, that's a badge of honor, a badge of honor that we still, we still actually love each other. That's right. You have to spend it all this time together. I was because I actually feel sorry for Corey and Willie and Fielding Kay. I said, they woke up with cameras in their face and went to bed with cameras in their face. Yeah, we just got to show up.

Yeah, we just showed up. They stayed out of our house. They had their crew living with them all the time with a camera on them. And I said, you don't understand it. You do it. My mom's house. Yeah, yeah. Mustard packs and socks.

We get an email about once a day still Martin, you still got all the mustard packets? That's funny. I mean, I keep them, but you never live it down. Whatever happened on the chesty. Oh, no, no, because I don't know for mustard packets and socks. Okay. Okay.

Yeah. I still love socks. But I got hung with flip flops. Well, flip flops. Which really isn't my thing. I just wore them on the wrong day. And everybody, people meet me like nowadays. They walk in the honey hall.

where's your flip-ops at sloppy boy and i'm like okay well no because there's always two things that i always remember the lady at church when we done trick-or-treat at church you know i'm sitting with her and i don't remember her name i'm terrible at that you know we're talking uh she said oh honey she said you're in total denial it was when i went to get glasses oh yeah he said you blinds the bull bad baby you said i saw it on television that you know she's you're in full denial You know what else? People, like, get mad at Willie because they think he's mean to you. No, no.

They will be, like, defending you and being like, Willie should not treat his uncle that way. I know, because I always tell him, I said, look, hey, Duck Dynasty, the deal, I said, they portrayed Willie as a mean old CEO of Duck Commander. I said, that's so far from the truth. It's not even funny. I said, Willie is the biggest clown we've got. got in the family. I said he comes to work in his underwear

and the secretary has to tell him, hey, go put some clothes on, idiot. That's what I did for 10 years. But anyway, not his underwear. I mean, I've seen him in his underwear.

That was just in a moment a week. You're talking about that. Ben Phillip went to clay, the dove hunt down there with clay, you know, and as soon as I walked up, you know, he said, who is that?

And I said, that's my friend. He said, you can't, you can't be here. Leave. And I looked and I said, Clay, I said, wait, me. I said, Philip, my handler. He said, oh, he ain't your friend. He said, I've watched the show. He's not the villain.

The villain. Yeah. Villain, the villain, baby. And I said, well, Clay, if he leaves, I'm going to go. Y'all and Clay said, well, I get to call him today. That's funny. He's my handler, my driver, he's everything. That is funny.

Oh, man. But McMillan is kind of a nemesis of source. Oh, yeah. That boy ain't ever seen a competition. He won't try to take that. Well, no, because see, that's one thing. That's one of the things that when he talks about to Robertson, he said, we didn't like each other. Well, it's because all of them are competitive.

The competition. It was real. Yeah. Super competitive. If it's anything, well, everybody's going to get mad. Yeah. There's a little bit of competition in this next generation, too, I got to say. Yeah.

I'm fully waiting to see the scrap between Jacob and Christian. Yeah, it's real. We all have bets on it. It's real. One of them's really competitive and one of them has a big mouth. Yeah. And it's competitive. Well, one of them can bench press a truck and the other one's from Baccomville,

so it's going to be a great fight. I'm pretty sure you see some of that in this first episode, maybe second, but you definitely, maybe the second, you definitely pretty early on recognize that Christian and Jacob are going to be at all. Yeah, they go butt-hap. Yeah. They're going to vet heads. And both of them, from what I can see, you know, both of them can handle themselves pretty good. True.

They're both actually kind of good at everything. Oh, yeah. That is part of it. Yeah, they're just good enough at everything to be annoying. Yeah. Yeah. That kind of deal. Well, that's some of the best shots.

Yeah. I had a blast. I thought that Jacob and Bella did a heck of a job with their storefront that they have. Didn't they? Which will be covered on the show, but this has not been a secret via social media if you follow any of us. It's bad to keep your retail store secret. We should tell people. Yeah.

Yeah. If you got a storefront, you need people going there. I actually think you don't see it until later on because, I mean, we've been filming for months at this point. A hot minute. So it'll be later that you'll see it, later seasons. But being part of the Friday night crew or whatever that got the invite to come hang out before it opened. And I think, I don't know if something. Something's changed, but I'm pretty sure Brittany so far is their biggest customer.

Yeah, she did good that night. She shopped, she shopped well. Yeah, they put a bunch of like expensive t-shirts up on the wall thinking, well, nobody who wants these? Nah, that bottom one came on down. So Brittany, Brittany walked out of there with the most expensive t-shirt he had hanging on the wall. Really?

Yeah, you know, it is what it is. That's been fun to see. Oh, it was fun. I thought that they did a great job with the store, though, like really, coming into their on because I mean they're still very young in the grand scheme of things so like to see what they pulled off there I was like you know for a bunch of old stuff it's actually really cool yeah they did a good they did a great job yeah and it's is that is kind of the fun part about this new season is like the expansion of what everybody is doing rather than you know

where before it was just ducks you know and faith family ducks but now it's like faith family ducks, vintage clothing, coffee, you know, podcast, all the different things. Yeah, everybody's got their fingers in. Yeah, yeah. But it all interchewines right here in this warehouse, which is. I can't wait until. You got me curious about what costume that Chris, Chris got into and then got in, really got into playing the part.

No, it's, it has been a lot of fun, though, back with the revival. It's kind of fun. It's going to be on A&E. again. It is. Like, you know, that it didn't swap places. Yeah. But then what, it'll be available on Hulu sometime after that because cable and streaming

are there in this weird battle. And so if you're worried, you're not going to be able to see it because it's on A&E, it will be available via Hulu at some point. A little bit later. You probably know about that more than I do. Because it's going to be fun to see, you know, who becomes the favorite. Yeah. How's the kids.

Yeah. It will be. Okay. Remember there was that little. like minute where it was like team jace team willie i was like wait a second we're all the same team here you know we can't we don't need to be picking teams and then jace had t-shirts made jays got t-shirts and like wait a second and jace was like yep yeah he tried to give me one i said uh-uh he said why you don't be on my team i said i'm gonna be with a man signs my check oh

you like you you work here just like i do yeah so no that's against you but i'm going with the I think I have one in my Duck Dynasty future eBay collection. A little collection, yeah. In case you ever need to selfie things. I've got a Duck Dynasty cast and crew t-shirt. That thing's old enough. I still got the Hay I'm a retired shirt. But that thing's old enough now.

Jacob may want it. Oh, yeah, I don't even need eBay. Yeah, you got Jacob, man. I told Jacob I was like, you need to start collecting old Duck Dynasty merch to have in your store because... I have a pile. Oh, nice. Oh, yeah, I got something, too. I never got like of all the t-shirts ever get rid of it.

I was like there's a certain sentimental factor on a bunch of the old Duck Dynasty ones. It's like keeping that. Yeah, he ain't getting my Zippo though because Duck Dynasty did like a licensing deal with Zippo lighters. And I was in a gas station and I saw my face on a Zippo lighter. I was like, yeah, buying that. That's awesome. I didn't know how else to get it. So I just bought it.

I don't even smoke. I always said like the weirdest things that y'all's faces were on. Like, remember when there was a Chia pet? that was made us a sassia. Oh, it's right there. Yep. There was a chia willie. They tried to plant something that they wouldn't grow.

There was a chia willie. Y'all's faces were on toddler underwear. I mean, we were on grown men underwear too. I had a little. Yeah, I signed some of them. I was the left butt cheek. Yeah. Well, the worst one was.

I was just glad I wasn't around front. They put my face on the, what is the lufua? Lufa. The lupa. Like a fun type thing. And Amy come up to. He never seen one. He said,

yo, I got in the shower the other day and looked over and that stupid thing was there. She said, I just couldn't wash my body with your face. That's weird. And I said,

well, I couldn't. I don't blame you, darling. Boy, I did. Yeah. I scrub, scrub, scrub, man. I might have had a few. The one.

The one I felt guilty about was K. We put K on a lufth. There was some weird. There was definitely. some weird things. We'll see what comes out this time around. My refrigerator magnets are still Willie and Corey. Really? Yeah. I don't think that was a thing though. I think I somehow ended up with something that was supposed to go. That somebody sent in? I was like, oh, those are cool. They've been on my refrigerator for like a decade now. I send us a picture. That's hilarious.

I will. Yeah, I spent a lot of money during that time, not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things, but on Duck Dynasty scratch off lottery tickets. Because like every state you went to had some version of Duck Dynasty scratch-off lottery tickets. If I stopped in a gas station and saw them. Did you save those? No, I scratched them. I'd try to see if I won anything. Because I thought it'd be hilarious if I could win like a grand.

Like with something with all of our faces on them. I think the best I ever did was like 20 bucks on one up in Tennessee. But if I stopped at a gas station, I walked in to see if there was a Duck Dynasty scratch-off. I mean, there were just weird little, weird little deals in there. Oh, we were at the bowling alley today and there's still a game, a Duck Dynasty. Honestly game at the bowling alley. Really? Yes.

Our bowling alley? Oh, man. Buy you bowls still. By you bowl still got the arcade game over there. I'm not allowed in Bayou Ball, but that's a different story. You get kicked out? It's a self-imposed man. I'm going to have to watch this one because I still got.

I think you're going to have fun watching it. I think you're going to like it. I just yoke. I always remember me when the lady made my Elvis costume that I wore it the Oh, yeah. If it's the costume I'm thinking of, this is a very different costume. Uh-oh. Well, I've seen the boy.

The boy's into costumes suddenly. He's the new uncle's side, Christian. Well, no, no. Well, it does something to you if you try to get into the park. Willie has a section in his closet labeled like joke clothes. Oh, yeah. And the weirdest part is I've become that part. Like, I was rearranging my closet the other day, and I have this whole little section where there's literally like my

Willie outfit of the sleeveless. And I'm like, I have a whole joke closed section of my closet. I've turned into Willie some more. Everyone should have that. We have a whole costume closet at our house. We definitely like the costumes. It's true.

Somehow them blue pants made it out of the joke clothes to the regular rotation. Willys. That'll happen on Willie. That's true. They'll get a good response. He's like, no, I'm just going to run them back every day. So Wednesday, Wednesday I remember at church,

I look over at Willie and I'm like, I mean, I noticed him wearing it. Obviously, we rode to church together, but I didn't, like, look that closely. And I look over and I'm like, I think he's wearing a woman's shirt. And I was like, I'm pretty sure that's a woman's shirt. So I'm like, I investigated it more. And you know how, like, it had the darts that came up and they ended like right there. And so it looked like really had boobs.

And you know how women's shirt button opposite of men's and everything? And I was like, yep, that is. definitely a woman's shirt. He had like got it at some, you know, whatever, goodwill or something like that. Knowing him, he bought it in an airport. I was like in the middle of an airport. He might have. It was like a silky

woman's shirt that he's wearing. Knowing him, he spilt whatever he was eating on him in the airport and had to go buy a new shirt. He does do a lot of airport shopping. He shops in an airport. He shops in an airport. He shops in an airport. He does. It was half of what I got paid for was just carrying things he bought in the airport.

That is true. He'd stop at first class. I'd be back there with four bags. I'm like, just move your stuff, lady. I'm back here by the bathroom. I'm with that guy. I've tried to streamline his, like, airport, like, get up. Oh, no.

It's a... Because he is carrying... I took a picture other day. He's got, like, four different types of cups. Like, his jetty cup, his coffee, his this, his tea, his that. Then he's got a backpack that weighs 100 pounds. Very heavy back. And he's always carrying...

He's got a... The extra plastic bag. He's a scarf to put a band. Yep. He's got a scarf. His travel. I used to not bring anything just because I knew I was going to have to carry all here all here. He'd be like, didn't you wear those clothes yesterday?

I was like, I'm fine. I washed them. That's all good. I'm glad I traveled with him during the days where he just had a blackberry with brick breaker. That's all he needed for years. That's all he needed was that and some form of device to drink tea out of. That was it. And it didn't have to be a cup then.

Most of them is gas station pure leaf or whatever that stuff is. It has expanded now. And he's got a sack of rubber bands with him. Yeah, he's a man. I'd say you could say he's got trinkets. Maybe that's a, he likes to carry him with a collection. Well, no, no. What's the little thing he takes hunting with him?

He's got a little miniature. Uh-oh. Little Willie? Well, that's something. It's a little miniature. A little action figure. Yeah, little Willie. He takes hunting with him?

Yeah, he's got that old Duck Dynasty. Every time he shoots one, he said, I told you I could hit him. Yeah, he's got Little Willie. He's got the old Duck Dynasty. I didn't even know this about him. Yeah. Yeah, he's got the little Willie that he keeps in his hunting bag. He generally sits it on the window of the stand.

And when he shoots it in, he starts talking to. I told you, I was not too far. I could kill him. Oh, man. Well, he gets me because I make fun of him for just having too much stuff. But then when I want, like, a little piece of dark chocolate, he always has it. So he's always like, see? See, that's why I got it.

He's good to have a round. He is, he is. He's got seasoning in that backpack. Oh, yeah, he does. There's little packets. Individual packets of Tony's chashery's. Yes, he does. Oh, my goodness.

Of course he does. Maybe that should be an episode. We ought to write that one. Taco Bell. Willis stuff. Hot sauce. We should just clean out Willie's backpack for an episode. No.

There's too many pockets. What's in my backpack. I just want somebody else to be known for packets of things other than me. Oh, he got way more than you, brother. That backpack, he'd tell me, back when I worked for me, hey, go get that on my backpack. I'm like, which pocket? But he knows where everything is.

He's like, there's like three pockets on the front. I'm like, what CIA agent backpack did you purchase that needed this many pockets? But he knows where it's at. I give him that, you know. I don't know. It's been fun. It'll be interesting to see what the fans. think about it.

But I think this one is met a lot with the same one that Doug Dynasty was if it can change one person's life then it was a success regardless of what

the ratings may say. Yeah. If it gets you to come together with your family once a week and laugh and carry on then successful. We were just talking about that

with like our production crew today and just like the point of it is to have fun enjoy. Just find a little joy laugh a little bit and just that.

like humor and heart. That's what we're going for here. Humor and heart. And I think that that is what the first show did. Brought people together, let people enjoy together as a family. We actually, Honey, Sadie showed one of the episodes to Honey.

And Sadie said she was dying, laughing and loved it. So I think kids are going to love this too. All ages are going to love it. There's a little bit more, I was just say, because this is our episode. So you just get a little bit more. Well,

kind of like more of the stories. What you see is life. Okay. And you can have arguments. Y'all in discussing. You're like, you believe in this and the other person don't. And it's okay.

Right. Yeah. No, it's okay. Y'all, you can still like each other, okay? Just because you don't, y'all, he don't agree with what you're doing. Mm-hmm.

Right. Yeah. And can come back together and. Yeah. And then enjoy being around the dinner table and enjoy dinner together. And so that's what this is about. And the Owen kids just discovered Doug Dynasty too, not long ago. So does every kid in all their classes.

Oh, really? Oh, I got, if I show up, I'm a quasi-celebrity, not because of anything I've ever done, because I know Si. Oh, nice. There's this kid named Henry. He came up here. He was like, you know, Cy. Oh, yeah, old Hank for his birthday, boy. Yeah, but now I got to get Big Mac in here this summer.

Big Mac was at my house the other day for Ben's birthday party, and he goes, Mr. John David, Mr. John David. He goes, did you see Saturday? And I was like, yes. He goes, oh, my goodness. He's so excited. And he's like, you know these people. I was like, we can throw stuff at Willie's house right now if you want to. I know the gate code, man. But they're watching old episodes because Carter told me on Easter, I walked in church without a hat on. Carter looked at me. He said, you look different. And I was like, I don't have a hat on. He's like, no, you don't have hair up there now. I was like, well, that's fair. That is a true assessment of 15 years. You know, it is kind of.

Carter will tell you how it is. When you go back and watch, one, of course, our kids are like little and now they're grown and have kids of their own. But also the aging that has happened to all of us is interesting to see. Some of us have aged gracefully. And our fashion choices back then 15 years ago are pretty funny. I look way better than I did on. My favorite is the hair makeup of the early season.

Oh my God. She's just in there. And it's not even vegetables. My favorite part is it's not even Corey. It's what Kay, when she was big perm there at the first place. Oh, no. Well, I think early on it was like they, you know, you're doing it for a TV show. You don't know.

And they want like, they're like, the guys are all like camoed out and all this. So they wanted the girls to be like really kind of over the top like. The other way. Every time. The other way. Yes. So it was like the. hair extensions and the makeup and all that.

Yeah, we kind of just let all that go this time around. Yeah. It's definitely a little bit more unnatural this time around. But it is. I mean, it's just funny to watch the progression, even of TV. Yeah. Because even in the world of TV back then, that was the thing. Well, back then, like, yeah, if you were going to be on TV, you wanted to look your best.

You were doing the makeup, the hair, everything. Now, I think because of social media, we're used to kind of like people just seeing us. As we are. As humans. It's human being. Sometimes we're fixed up. I remember thinking like, oh, wow, this is like HD television. Like, I need the makeup and the hair. And now I look back and I'm like, what was I doing?

That was crazy. So funny. I love it. Some of that was when they show the scene, you know, you're in tuxedos and all the stupid stuff. It was hilarious. I'll never forget when we did that. You know, Willie with his cane, the duck cane,

the gold. Yes. That was process, you know. It was just things like that, you know, you don't never think about it. No. But, you know, we had fun with it. And that's the thing. I'll never forget whenever they sent us that idea for us to be in the tuxes with the camo and those accents and all that. And I was like, I don't know if Phil's going to do this because Phil never worn a tux before. Had you ever, you worn a tux before. Well, yeah. But Phil had never put on a tux. And I was like, I don't know if he's going to do this.

And I showed him the idea. And he just started laughing. He was like, all right, never wanted one before. Yeah, he would laugh because, hey, he's thinking, a bunch of hippies. Yeah, exactly. But he did it and had fun with it. And I think that's the main thing. And we're having fun this time around too.

And, you know, not taking ourselves too seriously. I feel like that's a Robertson family motto. Don't take yourself too seriously. Have fun in life. We all make mistakes and you've got to learn to. laugh at yourself. That's all right. Amen to that.

If you don't, you fix it goes insane. Yeah. Life's not near as fun. You're going to have mental problems. There's going to be a mild adjustment period for some of these kids that weren't involved with the show the first time. Once the comments come out. Oh, yeah.

And it'll be fine. I try everybody for that, you know, because it is true. Like, I mean, actually wrote about this on social media recently, just saying that, like, you know, there's a lot of positive comments and we get a lot of encouragement and it's wonderful but also there's the other side

there's the hateful comments and all that kind of stuff and that's the one you remember when you lay your head down at night it's so sad you can get 10,000 people like your photo I love you

love you listen to you and not say anything but then that one guy that says you're a da da you're like I hate that guy and that's the thing

that you remember but you know you got to put in perspective and not let that bother you so hopefully you know everybody's gonna love it but for the few that don't love it that's all right to that's one i fire back there ain't no reason to keep on trucking oh gosh hey hey hey hey hey it's back baby it's back duck dynasty is back oh it's a revival it's a revival

he used to do that we'd be on a plane that didn't have a bathroom for like two hours and that man i got to pee and that's when he pounced oh my goodness he's been he's been doing that to the There's some of the film crew too, and they're like uncomfortable with the touch. I will say it has been fun too that you'll never see this part, but getting to know a new film crew. Yeah. Because we do take the times to get involved in their lives, like ask them questions about their family. A lot of them, Derek, our sound guy, who was.

He was here for most of Duck Dynasty, not all. He was absent the first couple of seasons probably. But then he's been here with us, then Treasure, and then maybe even Jeff and Jessica when they had their deal too. And at home with Robertson's. And at home. So, like, Derek's been around. So we've got to watch Derek grow up, get married. He's got two kids now and, like, bringing them around.

So it's really fun on that aspect for us because otherwise there's no other circumstance where we would have ever met these people. Yeah. My favorite is really cool. End of story. The crew was talking to me about the minor league hockey team, the Monroe Mockins. Have you ever been to a hockey team? again. They're like, yeah, the kings, I said, of Los Angeles. And they're like, yeah, I said, here's your five tickets. Y'all go to this. It's the same thing, I promise. And they came back

and they're like, that was the wildest thing I've ever been far. I was like, I don't really got. Welcome to Monroe. I have not been yet. And I want to go so bad. And I met some of the mocketons of the day. And they were saying, one of the guys was saying, he's been playing for 10 years, like all over the country. And he said, this is his favorite place. Oh, yeah. The Honeyhole's a sponsor. You didn't come, you need some tickets. Your family, your cousins can hook you up. I need to go. Well, the season's over. Season's over, but it'll be back. It's like forever

long. How many games they play? There's so many games. That's what, yeah. I had so many tickets. I want to go next time. You're in. But it is fun with the crew, just getting to know new people. And because like on this one, they seem to be split into two different crews all the time. And the ones that come to the office most of time, they call themselves the B team, which that's the team I like. Proud member of the B team, right? I only film here at this office.

for the most part. So like me and Annie and Tony and all that bunch, they're just, they're good people that you would have never known otherwise. Like, and that's what's really fun about it. Yep. You get to make fun of them and they fire right back and it's a lot of fun.

So it's, yeah, man, it's a different, it's a different generation on their end too. Like this is a completely different crew than we've ever had before. Well, and the thing about it,

you don't realize the impact you have on people, but other people see. Yeah. Because we have one, the sound guy, you got to understand, okay? Everybody's where it's Mike. Well, the sound guy is listening to everybody. And one of the coolest thing about that guy is, okay, is that he got baptized, okay, not because of what he heard, it's what he didn't hear.

He said, hey, you guys hadn't got a clue. He said, I'm sound man, I hear it all. He said, so when I'm with my, my. crew buddies and crew is filthy language, just every other word. He said, what is it with you people? Even when you stump your toe

or hit your thumb with a hammer, y'all don't cuss or get out of line. Corey did. Corey did that one time. They bleep it. Yeah. Have I told you about Carter watching that? No. Oh, he was ready to boycott everything.

So bothered because. He won't watch Home Alone. He watched it 10 times. Then he realized there's profanity in it and it's his whole thing. We don't watch profanity and I'm like I don't know how to navigate this because I think he might be right but I'm still

going to watch home alone but then that bleep happened and I forgot about it and he got and I looked over and he goes Corey Cussed and I said nope he goes what happened? I said they believed her she didn't say nothing he goes we need to fire that person I said I think Phil got him fired so he goes good they didn't

they didn't know what Phil done after that after he found out about that Yeah, I know. He let him have it. He did leave. He let him have it. Yeah. He went off on them big time.

He did. Y'all, and that was like the first time. We would say the prayer and at first they was cutting out when he was saying Jesus' name. Well, somebody told Phil about that and he said, hey, what's wrong with you people? Mm-hmm. Yep, they added it back in. Yeah.

Then they said, y'all. Well, there is a prayer at the end of the Dynasty and the Revival. And so that's been really special to get to do that as a family too. So, yeah. And y'all got so many kids now. I miss out on all them free meals. Man, I just be the highlight of the week. What are we having for family dinner?

We'll invite you ever for family dinner. No, I'm good. Well, here's the thing. It's like, I think people are going to see a lot of the fun elements that they saw before. The Duck Hall Room, the prayer at the end. Uncle Si, of course. Uncle Sai, that's the main question I get. Are you going to be on the show?

So they get to see all that, all these fun stuff. But then you're also going to get to see the new and the grandkids and kind of bring you up to date on what's going on around here now. I was getting education. From the kid. That's right. And I love it. Oh, good. That's been really special.

Well, Corey, thank you so much for coming on today. Johnny D. You got one. Surely there's a version there about a revival somewhere in there, right? Do I have one? Maybe on SpeedDile? Have I Googled Bible versus revival while we've been sitting here? We'll never know.

Maybe I pulled this one from my own readings. Psalm 85, 6, will you not revive us again that your people may rejoice in you? No matter where you're at in life, you can have some sort of revival, whether it's a revival back to Duck Dynasty, which was awesome days, and we might revive that back and get it going, or you're just down in the dumps. Jesus is out there for you. You can rejoice in them and you can have the revival in your own heart.

So check us out on A&E. Are we really about to say that? A&A. June 1st at 8 p.m. on A&A. There you go. Wild.
