John David, the stewardess on the American plight said, you always wear your face on your cup. I said, I'll never bring this cup again. Although I don't pick's taking it again, but it's kind of embarrassing. I was in Austin, Texas, and a guy said, I was at a hotel, and he goes, oh, sweet, who's on the cup? And I was too embarrassed to say me, and I went, he went, oh, it's Willie Nelson. Awesome.

Size on a roll. We got Willie. He was talking about it off when he was all in that straight jacket. And then when he opened it up. How he can breathe. The volume. I can breathe. What size shirt is that?

It's one size too small. Yeah. My housekeeper did not get the correct size. That's a new show? You have your housekeeper buying your clothing? Well, no. She won't for my birthday. Oh, for the birthday.

Hey, look. It's why I heard me. He observes things like that. It might be a gag shirt. Who knows? It's good looking. Well, it could be. Hey, do you have a good?

Oh, it's not even your birthday yet. No. But yet I was just at your party. I know. We always have it early. When you're 75, you got to go early. Just thing. Everything's early.

You realize I was scheduled to not be here. and I moved my flight, everything, just so I could be a birthday party. I appreciate that, nephew. Did you all end up playing cards? Yeah. Later, not there? Oh, it was that Scotty Robbs. Okay, I got you.

Did you win? No. Nope. Anybody buy you in? I gave your first buy him. Oh, no, they gave a whole bunch by him. Oh, that's why he didn't win. He was playing on somebody else's right.

No, it's the same. Well, it's his money or house money. It doesn't matter. It's all. He's right there. I just put a match to it, boys. All we do is just we all change, it changed. It's like a merry-go-round.

I like the way he. I like he thinks like that. I'm about saying, how come they always skip you? Oh, no. I get my share every once in a while, boys. Hey, don't worry about it. I get this share every once in a while at some point during the night. Oh, no, I always have a big stack every night.

That's true. I will. I'll give you that. At some point, you do have a lot. Well, hey, look, these boys have never understood why I go. I told them if they ever make me mad and make it about taking the money to home, it's over. It's over.

It's over. Why? Because, hey, then, hey, I don't know. I'll win every time. Oh. Okay. If they ever make me mad. Well, then can I challenge you for like a two-week battle of it being about the money?

It's the money. I just want to see if you. you can do well no because hey to do that okay you've got to really irritate me bad okay and those few people that have done that have you gotten irritated at the poker table yeah they'll tell you oh you don't want to

you don't want to irritate it to the point that hey it's super skinny incredible hope have I ever irritated you at a poker table at a poker game yeah your luck does I'm just you and Jay's both you're luck does.

Y'all've never outplayed me. What did you find about the, what did you find irritating about him when he won or when he went to the couch? Well, no, no. When he does, his corner of the couch. His little manner. Get in the way. Yeah.

I like getting in that gray matter. So I like walk around up in your head. There ain't much up there. I used to walk around. Look for stuff. There's like old broken things in there. Bull says it's the best. Okay.

When we play poker. Okay. you're not going to get that kind of entertainment nowhere else. That's true. You could not pay someone to have that kind of entertainment. I kind of get paid for it. I'm not going to be there. Luckily, you pay them to be there.

They didn't get the entertainment. Andy's the entertainment. Hey, when I lived at the old old house. Which one's that? Brownlee. The one that was down there by the chicken. There you go. Down by the chicken coop.

This is probably the greatest play I've ever made in my life. that had skid marks going up the driveway. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You had to go down a big hill first to get in his house. Everybody came down happy. Yeah, everybody came down happy. There was no black marks on the roof concrete.

At the end of the evening, oh, everybody was unhappy, and there were all kinds of skid marks on the home. But I'll say this, I took it all the way down to the, every card is out on the table, and I made a bet, and I got sigh to lay down a, aces, pocket aces and I had nothing. Best play I've ever made and it was

probably 20 years ago. He had to put everything he had at the table on the table in. I said no. That's one though. Well I think I'll fold them. Well you know the biggest difference that's one the money mattered to sign. Like that was the light bill.

Maybe. I wouldn't let the man live in the dark for more than a month. That's bad, though. uncle for me. We would come. I'm my uncle. And it's like, it's like 2 a.m.

We'd have to jump him off to get him out of the driveway. No, no, no. It's like 2 a.m. in the morning. Nothing good. We've been playing and just screaming and jumping up, kids with each other. And we woke the lady of the house up. Mm-hmm. And she comes in and says, okay.

You know, buy me in. Yeah. Buy me in. For 200. You know, so he goes around looking behind pictures of and everything else. All over the house. All my hidden money.

Yeah. Under the pillows on the couch. You'll finally come up with $200 and gives it to the banker. Gives her $200 and two hours later, we're all leaving the house broke. There was. Story has gone back to bed. There was all the money.

With some money. There was always a Benjamin behind that family portrait by the TV. I was always a Benjamin. If y'all are wondering where I'm at at Willie's funeral, it's just going to be searching different words. Lots of his house. For weird little... All the coffins.

It's the squirrel in me. It's the squirrel in me. That way you're surprised when you find it. Oh, man, I forgot I had this. That is a good feeling. He made the rule one time. You know, I'd bust out and get up to leave. And Phillips said, hey, I need to talk to you, man.

He had come out, Philip would come out and give me 200. Y'all, I'd wait 30 minutes in the truck. And I'd talk about, guys, I'd come walking in, showing him $200 build and said, guess what I found in my truck. So he made a rule. Nobody gets to give Uncle'sai any money. Because I'd always come back and then I'd leave with all the money. Always.

That sounds like one of them sidel's. That one's a little. I mean, you do remember I was there for all of those games. I only recently quit playing with you. I went away with money a lot. You, yeah, yeah, not quite how I remember. Yeah, I was in, I was, well, college, mid-college. College?

Yeah, those $20 mattered to me. I was like, man, that's tough. He got that. He couldn't leave. Huh? What's that, no, no. Yeah. You're on the clock, buddy.

Oh, I did it one time. I did the Cardinal sin of, I went to the ATM. It was like, I went to the ATM. I was like, man, this just, and I won. Yeah. Just can't just keep having. 95% of people that made the ATM run. Yeah.

Came back and left. What about the ATM? There's a lot of guys that took off and be back. 30 minutes later. Yeah. Straight from the ATM. Yep. Straight them.

Them Chris 20s, man. And then they'd be out of them pretty quick, too. And it was the best one. Oh. Charlie had won about, oh, a thousand. And already cashed out. And there's money in his hand. No, no, he hadn't, no, he hadn't officially cashed out.

He stood up and said, I'm out. And had it counted. And he started, yeah, he had his money. I thought he had his money. No, no, no, no, he counted it up and he was ready to take the cash. I was dealing. I was sitting right beside him. And I threw him two cards.

And they happened to be. And he looked down at it, which is the worst tell. He's standing up saying, I'm leaving. And then he sat back down, said, I guess I'll play this hand. So I knew he had a good hand. And I didn't have a good hand, but I knew he had a good hand. It was pocket queens. He had pocket queens.

And then once the hand was over, he was able to then get up and leave. But he didn't have to count. He didn't have to count his money. He lost all his money on that. It was all in the middle. And I was sitting in between him and the door. And then all you heard was, you heard his car door slam, the engine crank up, and then, whew-ho.

He was headed to a little. Banyons to win it back playing pool, baby. Oh, man. We can tell some seedy tales about this town. All right, guys, so that's it from the duck car room. Thank you all for tuning in. I got like four more of these. I'm not the announcer, that's right.

Well, yeah, we got four more. That was just an unexpected while. That was just the intro. That was fun. Hey, we'll be back right after this. Let's take our first break. I was just the intro. All right, look, springtime is here.

It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more out. outside cook and and y'all know we 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 it's 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 skip 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'll 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 easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to tribeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. We're back. Boss, it's good to have you here.

Look, what's up, guys? You missed our good buddy Mountain Man. hear that. He happened to be in town. I saw him. No, I saw him at size birthday party. Yeah. He actually sung. He what? Yeah, he actually sung. Son, sing. And I don't remember if it was what, one, two or maybe ten songs since it took him so long. I didn't think the song was ever going to get over. Sadi, you like Mountain Man? Oh, yeah. That's a cool dude. Hey. I just had it. No. I was just wondering. We're wondering if like the weird people like each other.

Or you're just like your own individual oddity person or do y'all like hang out? Are y'all like the zebras and the, or the ostriches in the giraffe? It's funny you asked that because I've never remembered, you know, from childhood, from infancy. There's always been a bunch of weirdos at the Robertson's homes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We're like a magnet from.

It's a. For strange people. You say we. Which side are you on that? Are you the weirdos side or the Robertson side? Or both? Both. Yeah, both.

Are those mutually exclusive of one another? Y'all got a weird magnet for strange humans. You got it too. You got it bad. That's why I said the Robertson family. And I'll take full credit. You are some of my collectibles. I'm in on that whole little list of weirdos.

Well, no, he kept enough of us normal once around To make the weird ones not seem so bad I'm somewhere in between probably Because there's no such thing as normal Well, first, Tim. I wonder if I have a friend list that's going, Wait a minute, am I? They wouldn't be listening.

Yeah, normal, yeah. Ones that we're talking about wouldn't be bad. Maybe normal is wrong. Stable is maybe the word I was looking for. About eight years ago, Willie and Corey gotten a big argument on, is Willie normal? And he was like, of course I'm normal. Was that the,

question? Yeah, it was over the word normal and you were like, you looked at me and were like John David, I'm normal, aren't I? And I was like I'm totally normal. Come on, man. Does being an eccentric not make you normal? You different, bro.

I'm not a normal person ever. You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen. Willie Robertson, quote the most normal person. I just said normal, like a normal. That's why I said, that's why I made the statement. There's no such thing as normal. I'm trying to think of who I would classify as the most normal person ever, then compare you to them.

Yeah, normal guy. You're normal? What are you going to come up with? No, I know I'm weird. No, I know I'm a nerd. You don't think you're normal? He knows that he can go get a snake out of his drain pipe right now. The definition of normal is.

Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know. I don't think, I obsess over goofy things. So I don't think, I think that takes me out of the normal. category. Like needing to know plants and animals and like there's just stuff that it did I mean you're smart I mean you can be well but they see yeah but all that is but I nerd out there's different between being smart and then like actually go like doing what I do with now like taking seeds out of ducks gizzards and growing them in a pot just so I can see what they're eating

like that's well no no that's too far that's what I'm saying no that's actually smart and this confirms that it's weird. Like, I'm aware. It ain't weird. That's normal. Like, no. I understand it's not. No, no, because my, when you said that,

a vivid picture popped up in my head. Uh-oh. You know, we're on Lake Darbone. Oh, boy. When I was in college, with Phil, Tommy and Harold and, you know, the whole family, about near it.

But anyway, but anyway. He thought the first cast, catches about a pounder. As soon as you real the man, he grabs the, filet knife that he had stuck in the boat and fileted it right quick

and you see him cut in the stomach and he's going through it with the knife and then the enduct on it he said hey riddle it on in boom he cranked that 20 horse mercury up down the late we go he said I said what will you do it

he said seeing what they was eating and he said and I know where a bunch of it is so hey we run down there he shuts the motor off and then we called about all filled a 62 quarter a cooler up would be. Not normal.

What do you mean not normal? It's just that's smart. This segment brought to you by Honeyhoe outdoor. We have a human billboard right here and if you want to catch good things. Open up the guts and look at what's it. That's what he's eating.

Artificial bait. Honey hole, right? Honeyhole. Well, he calls me a billboard because I always I'm wearing my work uniform. This man's got both of his logo tattooed on his arms. And wearing another one right in the middle of his chest.

So I'm at two and you're at three. And you can buy this shirt. This is the shirt. Atdcommoner.com. Speaking of, turn your cup around and show it. What? It's got your own.

Red white and blue, man. The other side's got his own face. Hey, that's just for him to look at it at what's why and know what he looked like. He's got his own face on his cup. And you've got your name on yours. That's right.

That's what remind me. who I am. I got a very nondescript bottle here. None of us are normal. No, no. I think that's where we're at. I think if we were, you wouldn't have a microphone.

We've decided none of this foursome is normal. No way. Mm-mm. I still feel like I'm... Well, you've got to come up. Not normal. We've got to define... We got to get that man a straw.

No. Okay. You got a define normal. What is the definition? That's just like you have to... Right. So Saturdays we'll go, okay, first you got to... I mean, is Godwin normal?

Usual, typical, or expected? Normal. Defined. Typical. Unusual, untypical. Non-tipical. Very unexpected. Everything you do throws me for a loop.

So I think... I think we're there now. I'll say this. Those, the antonyms of what you just said, the unusual and all that, definitely describe his cooking. Yeah. Like unexpected. What is in the...

Oh, I was not expecting that. Well, he's like, I'm totally normal. Hey, we got you a few rib-eyes shipped over from Japan for Christmas. What'd you do with them? Melted them in gravy and put them in a roast. No, made soup. That's normal. Made soup.

Just a normal everyday guy thing. I felt like I'm ahead of the game on that one. I still feel like I'm... An innovator. I figured something out. Right, like just put the better meat in whatever it is. So are you, in fact, a renaissance man? Little inside, I know.

Oh, shoot. Are you a Renaissance murder or a jack-of-all-trane? Why is it, what the... All right, Martin, you're a un-normal, super-smart guy. Why is it that I feel on normal? Because I think that level of normal is all self, it's a self-definition of what normal is. You feel, I feel normal.

but I know if I look back at myself, I am not. If I'm looking at me from the outside, I'm like, no, that cat ain't normal. I mean, just... You think you're normal because you were raised by Phil and sigh. You're like, oh, way more normal than those guys,

which, you know, probably... And a pack of dogs. And maybe that's why we surround ourselves with such eccentric characters. So that you feel a little, like, well, I'm better than him. I'm better off than that cat. I took a shower three times this week.

Must be normal. Hey, I'm a C plus man. I'm more than half of them. See, there you go. Hey, there you go. So at some boy, though, you're pulling out of your body and you're looking at yourself. Or you're able to do that and then understand that you're not normal. Yeah.

But inside your, when your brain is inside yourself, you feel like you are normal. I think so. Yeah, I think that. I think everybody would agree with that to some extent. As long as you're being yourself, you just think that's normal. That is what normal is Because your definition You're being yourself

Every time I'm ever around you I'm like hey it's just Willie That's just what he does So it's normal for you You know even though y'all have enlightened me some I still feel like I'm normal And as you should Because you're yourself man

Yeah I'm nobody else Normal dude man You're just a good old country boy Normal Normal people That was the other thing was country boy redneck that that was another argument what was i redneck that was one yeah for sure

and i well i was like well yeah but then there were some oh didn't you y'all had the you're not redneck you y'all had the discussion over who was more boozy didn't you like you were cori wasn't that i don't know that part up like uh oh yeah no she's oh what's a high maintenance high maintenance well sitting we'll be right back there high maintenance where are you going big dog You don't work for him anymore. Oh, that's right. That's right. You don't work for me.

You can. High maintenance. Neither one of y'all work for him anymore. Y'all can talk with full. You're not high maintenance. You're just an enthusiastic. Accentrant. Sorry, are you high maintenance?

No. You order your steak medium plus. That answer is yes. There's a basic scale of how you order a steak. Medium plus is your own word and on two things. He actually says medium plus? 100%. I will let him do that.

I'll let him define it for you. And a chef in New York City told me that there's no such thing. That chef was also learned the first rule of customer service. Yeah. He works. He's in New York City. He's supposed to know what to talk about. So I would guess medium but a little more done than medium.

But not medium well. No. Okay. No. I'm wrong? Yeah, you're wrong. Okay. Because you brought up.

Just guessing, bro. I don't know what you're doing. You brought up the bad word. done. Right. It ain't done. Medium Plus is light pink in the middle. Light.

With no blood. No blood. With no blood. No blood, boys. If you mash it with a fork, no blood. Rest stuff don't run. When you mash it with the fore,

do you want anything coming out? It's used. It's huge. It's not blood. Juice, but not blood. That's right. That's one of this. It's a great mystery.

Normal, though. It is normal. And not high maintenance. Hey. And don't you, dare put an egg on his BLT. Oh my goodness gracious. That was a debacle.

You got a new porch? You can't hide that money, can you? Hey, you can't hide money. It's an interesting time of year to spend it, though. On the back porch, isn't it? I've ripped up my front porch, added on to the back porch. Rebuilt a little... I don't go that way anymore.

I don't see... Rebuilt the little walkway between the garage. Everybody's been rebuilt. His nine-year-old son calls it a dump. That's a different story. I got to walk through that. I mean, I guess I can walk, but maybe I'll drive. On stones, way over to dump all the turtles in our pond, you could come visit.

Is that where he put them? Yeah. Stone's sitting right there. They're going to walk right back over. I tried to tell him that. That's a terrible idea. I didn't know where he was. No, he thought it was hilarious.

He's like, guess what I did? I took 87 turtles out of Willie's Pond and put them in Jace's Pond, and I just sat here for a minute until it dawned on him. That, well, yes, I'm on the other side of it. But that's still too close. They need to go like down to fills. There it is. There it is.

We'll let you relay that message. Now I can come catch them out of my pond. I tried to get him to clip a toe on them to see just how many of them are coming back. He says something about like 289 is what he's weird. See? I told you, I'm not normal. He's some kind of weird out. I'm not normal.

I'm telling you. I like that. I like that kind of tracking stuff. I'm not normal. He was going to cut their toes off. Marking them. You just lop it off. Mark at them.

Get a Sharpie, man. No, you can't keep track of them. And plus then, yeah, you can't do that. Yeah, I would like paste them on the back of them. Like, I'm back. Willie would have spray painted that same thing that's on his cup on the back of everyone. Hey, grew up spray painting box turtles. Just so I could see if I could find them in the yard again.

Guess what? Everyone I ever found was flipped over because he was no longer camouflaged than a coon guy. But I mean this. Oh, good, good point. Those turtles like travel. Oh, yeah. There's one that goes from your parents to my, but he's a giant one. Every year I see him do a little trek.

Yeah, probably nesting too in between there. That's a long walk. They're not very quick. But he does. Like once a year, he'll travel all the way across the yard. Coming winters in your pond. Goes back to big days for the spring. It goes back to big days further.

He catches him and he's going to put him over in Jay's his spot. And then he'll really be flipped upside down. He's not going to know how to go. Well, you're a. almost marine biologist does it's a titleist does he um do you think they'll stay there though

would they I mean why not well what's the difference no it's even bigger it's like a bigger there's not enough room there's already a billion turtles in that problem they like they're looking for food they're looking for food turtles there's like as long as the log is

it's full of turtles but if you get you know Stalin ain't even looking at what they are so if you go put a bunch of males in there's only one female well then the other males are gonna take off walking like they They're here to eat and reproduce. My friend Mario's. They're going to do whatever that takes. Turtles are very normal.

Very normal. They're a little slow, but normal. We've had a 10-minute conversation on turtles. Not normal, guys. Not normal. Neighborhood Turtle Wars. We were relocating turtles. Traffing.

Not normal. Stone said, I don't know what I'm going to do. That's what I got him. He said, I don't know what I'm doing. I can't shoot guns. There's too many houses around there. I said, just put a hoop net out with some sardines. You'll catch you.

every one of them. Knowing that is not normal. Right. You shouldn't know that. I saw the little thing. Yeah. So it is fun. It is.

I found it very interesting. I really did want him to track them and see how quick they come back because they're coming back. Oh, yeah. They're not, I mean, they're going to take off walking. I can't believe that he put those right there. If you want to keep them at Johnny Dee's house,

you're going to need to invest in them a fish feeder and some fish food. Then they'll all just stay there because they got plenty of food then. Nope. They know where the food's at. Yeah, they're well aware. Foods on a timer. You can never catch a fish when that happens, though. It's weird.

No, I've got one. I can't do it. Now they're like piranha. That's because they ain't turtles everywhere. They ain't having to worry about them. They're on their way back. There's 87 of them and Johnny D. I thought him started putting them in Jason's pool.

That is funny. That's a good joke. The turtles move at night or in the day or does it matter? I don't think they care. Both. Yeah. Slow and steady. They got to get there.

It's wins a race every time. I didn't know. It's the time of year, though, it rains. They'll be out trying to make a nest when the ground gets soft. So little turtles will be here before we know it. It's fun. And that's Turtle Talk. Welcome to Turtle Talk.

Welcome to Turtle Talk with Martin. Hey, man, I used to catch them all the time. You do know a lot about turtles. Yeah, we take them to school. Oh, excuse me. we'd take them to school and then Dr. Carr would give them a little shot and make them lay their eggs. And then they became niggins. And then we incubated them.

We incubated the eggs and hatched them and then we'd go return the hatchlings to where they were from. So like I was big into box turtles. Still am. I love box. Did you ever like? My favorite turtle. Put a rat in charge of them and. They got, they got no.

No, but they did love pizza. That's where we're getting. They got a, oh. They like to hang with the wrong crowd. Who? Box turtle. Oh, yeah. Well, you on them gopher tortoises, talking about the rattlesnakes and everything, yeah.

That's their tenant. Box turtle pretty cool. A little rascalxed. Rattlesnakes is more of a Michelangelo guy. And we are really nerd now. Rattlesnakes are friends? Oh, they live together in the same borough. Yeah, you didn't know that?

Totally normal thing to know. Did they strike and then they, like, come up? They get a long time. They get a long time. They don't mess with each other. Don't mess with you. A very symbiotic relationship. Yeah.

It's crazy. So when I found that out, now Have you witnessed this Or you read it somewhere? No, no, I read it. Oh, he read it. I had a show on it. All right, to get out of where we're at

because we could go down this road for forever. Jai D, you said before we started, you had some questions. Yeah, you didn't send them to me beforehand. No, no, I just had a question for Willie. Yeah, what is it? But I felt like I should have thrown this up there. Hit me.

The more you know. Okay. Is the bandana back? Is it on? Is it back? If it's on, it's back. That was really my only question. Yeah, I've started, yeah, I'm wearing a little more now.

I'm working it back in. My hair's long. Is it? It's longer in the back. Well, truth be told, my wife hates it. And so she was thinking, like, that was the end of it. The only way she would see it is, like, looking at this. And I'm kind of enjoying watching her just like having to be.

deal with it again. So you're just going to let the back get long and keep the front kind of short? There's no compromise. So that's called a mullet. This is happening. So, uh, yeah, it's kind of, I just, I've seen some pictures of you like, am I, is Willie Brigh of the, you know, I always got to keep you, keep you on you, I don't want to be normal.

We still got, hey, boy, we still have 80,000 of them up here. So if you need more and grab a couple before you leave. American flag. Yeah, so I have, yeah, I've been wearing a little bit more to keep the hair back. I keep thinking I have a cap on, so I go to grab my cap and it's not there. Before you know it, you're going to go to the section of your closet that's got a size shirt in it again, and we'll bring that back. Flame boots will be back in. Flame boots are, I did retire.

They're up in the attic. They're in the attic? I wore them for something recently. I was dressing up, and, gosh, they were. Can we put them in? worn out. Can we put them in the tour? Yeah.

Can we add them? They are literally worn out like they hurt your feet. I remember the first time I saw you in those. You were just walking down the streets of Houston all by yourself and I was in junior high. And my cousin said, is that Willie? And what's on his feet? And we found Willie in the middle of- So cousins met in the middle of Houston.

All three of us. Willie was just walking down the street. We were going to a baseball game. Willie wasn't. Crazy. I don't know. We just found him. That was in Willie's nomad day.

you know why I wore the flame boots I know this story we've been waiting for a good reason for a very long so I was in I was at the Santa Monica Pier and I'm walking by these it was like a shoe store but and I just picked up the boot all right and I'm looking goes hey hey I can give you a good deal

and then I'm like shoot why did I pick it out you know I'm like I don't need a sales pitch And I'm like, now, and I'm just looking. I'm just looking. And he said, that's my, he said, those are my cinderella's, my last pair. And I said, yeah, cool, you know. And I said, I'm not interested. And then he looks at me and he goes, you put those boots on, you'll be on fire.

Just like that. And I thought, ooh. And so I looked at Corey and she said, you will never wear those. If you buy them, you're never going to wear them. Bum, bum, bum. And I wore them. Totally normal thing to do. 14,000 times.

You wore them every day. Because she said I would never wear them. Then I wore them. I think the biggest question there is how much did those cost? $80. Okay. Oh, yeah, bad. 20 of that went to Harley Davidson.

Yeah. They were the last pair. Like they were like, they were discounted. That's true. You're on fire. Wait a minute. Is that? That's not them.

No, because he had flames on the toes. I'll say Doug Dynasty boots. No, I just Googled your name. Oh, never know. Yeah. See, look, there you are. Wearing them. They are.

Oh, yeah, that's them. Is that them? Yeah, that's 100% them. Do you have a lot of red toad boots? Those aren't them. Those are a different pair I have. Well, once I started, like, people would give them to me, and there were different versions.

But there were, there were three different versions, of that, like, but the OG one was Harley-David. Yeah, the originals are Harley-Davidson. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, I thought I remember seeing that logo on the floors. The scary is at the airport.

They would always laugh, you know, because I'd have to take them off. Yeah. The scariest part is they met them for babies. They have little flame boots for babies? Yeah, with the American flag on them. Do they still have them? Oh, do you can get on one on eBay right now for 1795?

I got two kids. That'd be kind of cool. I have one. Carter had a pair for a minute. right there buy it now born to hunt new inbox apparently didn't sell all of them willie's baby biker boots oh am i can we connect that anyway i think you well it's got to be because it's got the documenter logo on it does it so apparently that was a licensee at some point that was a way back win product oh that's awesome that's tight i need to buy those yeah you got

grandkids now yeah yeah carter doesn't wear his anymore so i love willie saw my willie saw the boys though, not the first time, basically, since they were born at Sised them, the first thing he said was,

my goodness, look at those heads. Well, I mean, I didn't want to be awkward, but like, totally normal thing to say when meeting somebody's baby.

Those are the two biggest heads I've ever said. I mean, they are. Hello. That is. Hello. I'm on the last button here.

Oh, a couple of coconut. It is. It's hilarious. It's like a bowling ball on top of a onesie. It's funny because Jackson's is like the 99th percentile in its size. I'm like, yeah, buddy. You got that one, honest, pal.

I was assuming you weren't going to be like, do they really have big head? Oh, no, no, no. This is shocking. They measure them every two months, so I'm well aware of how they're progressing. I saw them at the birthday party. The birthday party. I saw Johnny D. at the birthday party. That was the happening part.

That was a happening party. Oh, no. Oh, no. A whole bunch of people there. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. I made a bunch.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect in quite that big of a celebration. Philip's like, yeah, we're just having a small little thing for a sign.

And I thought Mountain Dog had got,

it looked like you gained a little weight. Nothing wrong. Just, Caboia. He's been on that seasoning. So, he told me, so before I could even say anything,

he told me he just lost like 40 pounds. You thought he gained weight? He tried to hit you with it, don't insult me. Here's where I've been. No, he told me he's lost, and I was like, oh, that's odd, it's unbelievable.

But I was thinking, like, there was a big gap. I don't know when the last time I saw him was. He just looks like, he just kind of disappeared. He moved, right? Yeah, he's living up above Knoxville. He's living where Kyle is. Like, they're essentially neighbors.

Yeah, him and Kylie. That's where I just was. I just flew into Chattanooga. Did we ever go to Chattanooga? No. I don't think I'd ever been to that. Well, you might have been. Nice town, yeah.

We never went to church. And y'all went to eat at a Leah, right? A little restaurant down there. We didn't. Oh, yeah, I thought Parker that. I figured that's where y'all were eating. No, we stayed in Cleveland, and there was a Rous Chris steakhouse that we ate there. Yeah.

A Ruth's Chris. He mentioned that, and I'm like, you know, I'm not into driving. I'm like, if there's something. I didn't realize y'all were, I didn't realize y'all were staying in Cleveland. I was like, if. Yeah, I spoke there. In Chattanooga. Yeah, caught out with Kylie.

Downtown Chattanooga got a place called Leah that is. Oh, it's legit. Oh, crap, now I've got to go back. Yeah, I might as well. I hear it's nice. I thought it was awesome. Nice area. Mm-hmm.

And then went over to Nashville and then flew this. You were a love this. Crazy. I would not have a lot of them. I'll just say, Adam LaRoche. So I'm supposed to fly out early the next morning to go to Dallas to do press for the musical, his story. You got a musical? Yeah, that's why I have the purple windana.

So, so. We're pressed. I'm at my hotel room. Adam comes by, drops all his stuff off there. And he goes, you're leaving the morning. I said, yeah, he said, no, no, no, we got a plane. We'll just drop you off in Dallas. And I was like, oh, sweet, you know.

Good. We'll be there an hour, right? That's way better. Unless you're the third drop off. So we were going to a party. And I was like, we cannot stay long because I've got to get up. And he said, I don't know, we stay way longer than like, so we start leaving like closer to midnight. Well, the plane, we go out to the plane and it's like, it goes slightly faster than my truck.

So we're like, ney, like my phone's still texting. Like, that's how low we are. Y'all up there about 7,000 feet having to look for people like on the interstate. We said we're going to Addison, like that's where we're dropping you off at. From Nashville to Texas? Okay. Fast forward. It's three in the morning.

I was there that's where I was that's why I was there Tuesday so I saw the first five songs so they're already they've been rehearsing about two weeks and this new chord plays over the TV

sorry I was watching YouTube look it up on YouTube yeah it's his story. yeah it's his story the musical dot com tickets on sale at Ticketmaster there you've always wanted to say that ain't you we're producers

because you know when you think of Broadway-style musicals you think of Willie Robertson. Totally normal thing. That's just normal. What troop you told, the director sent me a video of it and he said, check this out. Let me know what you think. And I watched it and I'm like, bawling crying.

I was like, called Corey. And I said, we got to help with this thing. This is unbelievable. That's cool. It's kind of like a smash together of like Hamilton and the Chosen. I haven't seen Hamilton. I enjoy the Chosen. Yeah, Chosen's good. I got nothing to go Is it like a smash together between the Lion King and the Chosen?

Do you like the Lion King? Love it. Yes. What about Wicked? What about Wicked? I saw that one. Oh, there's some Wicked too, yeah. Because Satan's in it.

Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Man, that's wild. Hey, I just want to say to think about this before the break. I want to know the last musical Sall went and saw in Broadway. Okay, just think about it. In Broadway?

I know there's a bunch, yeah. I think about it. Lion King, fourth grade. It was awesome. All right, we'll be back. Anyway, do you have the question? Hillary Renee, 92. I'm guessing she's about 30 years old because she was born in 92 or her favorite

number's 92. Favorite thing, Willie, about being a grandpa. Grandpa. Tell me about the good old day. When the line between right and wrong. Oh, sorry. No, Johnny Dee, you know the judge? Crazy.

Nope. But I knew Sergeant York the other day, and I'm hanging my hat on that one. You know, I don't know what the, what was it going to? What's my favorite thing about being a grandpa? Seeing them, like, seeing a little tiny. I just knew it had to be they go home. No, that's what everybody would say, but I don't like them. I mean, I don't want them just to go home.

They can hang around all the time. So just seeing little, you know, tiny versions of the next generation is awesome. because they look like they remind me so much of their of their parents who would be my kids would be like oh that's just like John Luke or that's just like Sadie and they all got these little different personalities they were all last night

were they all there? No, two of them were but a lot of them were I had what they call I believe an early birthday so I know it was about early birthday because I won't be here on my birthday so it was an early birthday dinner Bella cooked delicious roast

um slightly not as tender as probably yeah I think she needed medium oil yeah medium oil plus or whatever yeah no don't put the plus on it but it was delicious and the kids were over and so yeah and I mess with them so yeah

my favorite thing is just messing with them and uh I like get them to the point to where either coy or their parents say okay let's stop doing that because they're getting out of control so that's what I like totally normal I'm like just getting them all worked up and they're just walking away

and then they're like and they're like not dealing with them and get them all worked up and say y'all can leave now you may leave so that's the answer that's a great question thank you you are how many grandkids

answer I would have got. I'll give you one. I'm not a normal guy. I'll give you one. I think people try to rush it. Prepare to work your butt off. Okay. So says the man that's never had a small business.

So look. I've watched every day. I've watched those that have run the business. Okay. He doesn't got that finger. He was part of the small business. Watch out now.

And somebody worked their butt on it. Just because I didn't ruin it. Okay. I have watched it. You still weren't your butt off. Just because the other five people that weren't thinking about it. I think I can speak from experience. Is that the truth of that what I said?

100%. Yeah. But I think, I mean, if you don't have that, you don't need to be in small business. But I do think people think it's going to happen really fast. And I think for us at Duck Commander, it took years. So you can't rush it. As long as you're happy with it, be content, and then see what happens and let it breathe. And yeah, just don't rush it.

Like, what you got in? enjoy doing it. Honey haul. I mean, how long is that thing? Have faith to yourself. I'm talking. Yeah, 91 for the honeyhole.

Well, you're a small business worker. What's your best piece of advice to love the outdoors? Well, that is the first piece of advice. Love the outdoors. Oh, work your butt off is a good one, but if you weren't planning on that, you shouldn't have got in it in the first place. Listen to those that have done it before. you.

Listen to those that have done it before. You might be in some weird business. I doubt it. Most everything has been done before. But whether it's retail or something like that, I don't know what your business is, but I learned a lot from Willie. I've learned a lot from Big Dave. I've learned a lot from a lot of people.

And I just take all the knowledge and store it up here and then just show up every day and see what happens. Take it slow. Take it slow is probably the best advice. Which learn how to do. It kind of sounds like, yeah. Learn how to do every job in your small business. All of them.

I cleaned the Shiner Tank yesterday. I've done almost every job up here. Yeah. Name the job I haven't done. Bookkeeping. Nope, I've done that. I'll be having. He didn't do my job.

Read man. None of them did. Hey, I've done your job. There's a bigger general part of that. Making duck calls. I've never made the duck calls. I've done every job up here. would consider book game back when you know it was called bookie you know it was just the folder of

accounts that we had it was the seven pos but yeah i've actually never made the duck calls yeah i remember when i started here he said you said you said y'all make them i'll sell them and it worked well i said deal deal all right last one real fast eric asks is uncle sigh still alive i don't nope he passed away sadly and we wrapped him in this sweet shirt yeah we uh We wrapped him up like a mummy, and we put him on display in the museum. So he's been there for about two months, but he's beginning to turn. He's beginning to swell, and the buttons won't hold anymore. All right.

We got to go. He really has because Uncle's eyes still. We get it every time, and it was the last one I saw. Apparently, there's rumors everywhere. Oh, no. We need to clone Si. They should clone you just to make another sigh like you. Just to fill in for a little.

other things. I told my wife, I said, hey, you need to mummify me and just keep me around. Taxi-dery. I wonder how much they charge the taxidermy side. I'll pitch in. Taxidermy, isn't it? As long as he's got some bells and a teacup, I'll pay for parking. All right, here's your Bible verse.

Ready? Where do you think I'm going? His story. First Peter 211. Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles, some versions have aliens and strangers. a.k. Not normal people. To abstain from sinful desires which wage war against your soul, live such good lives among the pagans that though they accuse you of doing wrong,

they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. Jesus calls us not to be normal. There you go. All right, let's get out of here. We'll be back. I'll be like this.
