Martin shows his age at the trade show by skipping the after-party for pizza and old movies in his hotel room. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Back to having corks in the duck collar room instead of rubber. All kinds of things. My graveyard. Stuff I've ruined. Hey, it don't take long to ruin one. I ruined a bunch of them the day I tried. Yeah, it don't take long to ruin one. I said this isn't for me.

You have one little, one file too much or one cut too much. Yeah, that's it. Don't take long to ruin one. Oh, that thing is trash. Well, anyways Yeah Well, what are we gonna talk about? Whatever you want to talk about, sir

I ain't gonna talk about today What? He's well-rested We got Bella We'll talk about what Bella's been up to Bella, what's you been up to? Welcome back to the duck call room first of all You can't be rude, you gotta welcome everybody So welcome back

Yeah, but we have no idea what we're gonna do ever A special guest And we do Bella Thank you. I feel a special guest Yeah, you're almost a regular How many?

How many times have you been? No, you're a regular special. No, you're special. Yeah. Thanks. You're a regular special guest. Yeah. A regular.

I'm trying to. I'm not saying. I'm just along for the ride. I'm trying to figure out how many times you've been on now. I think three. Yeah. I would say that removes the specialness from you. Now you're just an old regular.

I'm still special to Martin. Amen. National guest to Martin. Amen. You're a guest. I don't even know that you're a guest. God David said that's my cousin. She's just a guest.

She's just a person that shows up and we have a good time and then we leave. Yeah, that's why she keeps coming back. What I'm saying is you're no longer a guest. You're just part of it. Yeah, she's close to being the first official female member of the duck call room. See? She's really close. Yeah.

So we can change you from special guest to members. You loved Allison when we did the girls episode. The problem is Allison doesn't love us. Yeah, well, honestly, she doesn't want to be here. That was here for like 15 minutes before we started. there's a lot of boy energy in here today more than usual. What? I was feeling that.

What is boy energy? I don't know. Like you were kind of screaming and like yelling. He was screaming and wanted to go out. Okay. Yeah, he was screaming. I thought it was a woman. I thought it was a woman.

There was a lot of noise in here. It was. I thought you was a woman. But that's why everybody that used to work here had to be so loud because we had to be over the duck calls. Yeah. Yeah. And you were still that loud.

And I could just blow a duck call louder and all you all. So it didn't matter. That's right. I can get up there, son. You can still get up there. Well, Bella, we just got back from Memphis. I want to know. Is it, that's your first?

Is it, no. That's my first trade show. First trade show. First trade show. That's like working with y'all. Yeah. How was it? First official trade show as a duck commander employee.

What are your thoughts? It was good. It was good and really fun. I mean, now, granted, my ears still hurt from all the duck call going. I was about saying, that's not what you said before we were I'm saying that was definitely the worst part was all the people coming by the booth blowing the duck calls for so long. My ears hurt. And also there was duck call blowing at every booth so it was just very loud. But overall it was so fun. I had a blast. And I love getting to like meet other people. Um, because I mean, let's be honest. I was, you know, one of the only girls. Yeah, there weren't many. There wasn't very many girls. But I did meet a girl. Was Maggie there? Maggie was there. Maggie was there. Maggie and I met a girl named Maddie who her dad owns Rolling Thunder and I loved her. Yeah.

So I really liked her, which was really cool because she's kind of similar to me. Her dad also owns a company and then she works there and everything. So that was cool to meet her. And then Lakin was there who's married to Zat with Reaper boats. And so I met a lot of other girls, which was nice. You're almost a bedneck talking like that. Oh. Was Rolling Thunder a duck call?

Yes. It is a duck call. Oh, it is? Yeah. Duck Caldran. They actually turn our acrylic barrels for us. Can I just say something real fast about how proud I am that Bella's in here just ripping off Reaper boats and rolling thunder in the ship?

Amen, buddy. I didn't see that coming from you, Bella. He's one of them. I've worked here for two years ago. I know I know these people. No, I know you would know them now. But like, you know, when you were 16, we didn't know what you were going. We didn't expect you to be here at Duck Commander, just running the show.

I didn't think that either, but here we are. But here we are. Did Jacob go with y'all? Yes, but Jacob was actually at another booth. he actually was selling vintage cameo at his booth. He was selling other people's clothes. My favorite part is Bella had no idea. I was there.

I had no idea he was going. Okay, though I'm not. I don't know if you've heard, but Jay Martin Duck Man, pretty big deal in the duck hunting world. Jay Martin Duck Man also told me, I think it was a different, I'm not going to say,

it was a different show that he told me he was not going to. And so I had assumed he just never told me he was going to this one, and he did tell me he was not going to a different one. So. I told your team I was going. I didn't just directly tell you.

No, he didn't tell me directly. Well, also, I talked to you about how I was going and you just failed to mention. Did y'all make you money while y'all was up there? We did. Yeah,

we did well. It was fun and we did well. How did you get your dad to stop by, by the way? I did that once. Yeah. How'd you pull that off? Don.

Do you like FaceTime in with like the big sad eyes? No, I'll say how it you did. You got a mortar. You get up and get your butt up right. No. I almost got fired over that. I was going to say that. That doesn't really work with Willie Robertson.

I don't know if you've bet him before, but that doesn't work with him. But, no. I think, so y'all know this, but my dad used to go to all the shows and do them all. And he and Mom used to have so much fun with him. Well, I kind of think he just heard me talking about it and was feeling like, you know, a little. A little fomo? Yeah. Willie Robertson feeling left out.

But he was also in Fayetteville, which is not that far from Memphis, right? I mean, it's... That's not on the way home. I'll say this. It's not much closer than coming from here. Really? No, I mean, it only took me four and a half hours to get back. What was this now?

Memphis. Memphis. He was in Fayetteville already, and so I was on the phone with him, and then he was like, I had talked to him a few times, and then he just called me. and we were talking and I was kind of talking over him, but he was trying to tell me something and I was kind of talking to. And he was like, are you listening to me? And I was like, yes, sir.

He was like, I'm coming to Memphis. I was like, oh, that's what you were trying to tell me this whole time I've been talking over you? I was like, okay. And so then he just showed up and came. And it was super fun and everyone was super excited. It was crazy. We had a line that went on for hours for him. We were back in the trade show booth.

Oh, it was fun for me because he showed up. my left. I said, I've been here all weekend, man. It's your time. High five. That's tag team. I'm out. I'm getting in my truck. That's awesome. I signed Willie up to go to Shot Show one time. He was going, but I was like, hey, I got you a meet and greet lined up, and that was not the move to make. Yeah. He said, did you ask me? And I said, uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. Never was an email that you responded to. Yeah, you gave me a thumbs up. He had not. He had not. It was a bad deal. Yeah, well, no, I mean, he's a very unpredictable person,

so you just kind of roll with it. He said he wanted to go, great. No questions asked, come on. Yeah. How does that originate in Memphis? What do you mean? The shot trip. No, it's not in.

This was Ducks Unlimited. This was Ducks Unlimited, do. And they are out of- Yeah, they're based out of Memphis. Okay. One of the biggest conservation programs in hunting. Yeah, they're based right there in Memphis, so they moved it to their own backyard.

garden it was a good it was a good weekend man i it's been a long time so i worked it's been a long time so i worked three days at a trade show how many did they say we're going to be there 45 i have no idea i know saturday i got there at about 9 30 and i did not leave till 6 so it was a big showing with the duck call people you'll mind such you i never stopped talking shaking hands taking pictures signing duck calls all the things They bought a lot of Duck Commander stuff. I know because I wrote on probably 95% of it. And that's all just weren't.

Yeah, I wrote on it. There was a rumor going around that someone was coming the next day, but no one knew it was my dad yet. And I had so many people coming to the booth. His uncle's I coming. And I was like, I'm not telling you who's coming, but I will let you down. I will, you know, go ahead and prepare you. It's not going to be Uncle's Eye. There you go, Bill.

But. But a lot of people were anticipating you and wanting you to be there. Oh, yeah. Everybody asked how you were doing. How are you doing? Well, hey, this I ain't dead. Everybody's always having me dying. All right, look, springtime is here.

It's warming up. You know what that means? That means more outside cooking. And y'all know we love to eat beef around here. And that's what because of our friends over at Triedale's 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 them. But with Tritales 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'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 Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. and a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

My favorite part was on the way out the door, so Willie sat down and had the line. I just went through the line. It was like, guys, I'm leaving. So if you want a picture or something to sign, let's do it right now. Now would be the time. He let the line come to him and I went the other way away from the line. I just said, go on, baby. I do have something that I should not.

And if you were at Duxton, Limited Expo, and you did this, then I'm sorry to say that I'm not Sadie. I just need to acknowledge that here and now, there were a lot of people coming up, Sadie. And one time I did tell the truth, I said, I'm not Sadie. And the little girl's face dropped so sad. And she turned her on and walked away and went and took a picture with Martin and just never said anything to me again. Well, then she did, hours later, she came back and said, I just realized you're Sadie's sister. I didn't know who you were earlier.

I'm sorry, I called you Sadie. I was like, you're fine. But there was probably about eight people that came up between thought I was Sadie. And after I saw that little girl's face, I just started saying, yeah. Okay. You know how many pictures I've taken as Jepp? Yeah. Jeb, can we get a picture?

You sure can. Come on. I have one lady up there. She said, I can't remember your name. I said, it's okay. I'm Gobwin. And she said, you're right. You are Godwin.

and I was like, yep, I am. I scroll with it. I didn't take any pictures as Sadie because I didn't want to embarrass anyone when they posted on the internet. Oh no, that's the exact reason I do it.

Because I want them to be like, hey, met Jeptha Robertson at this thing. And it's like, that's not Jeptha. That do works in the store for minimum wage. That's not Jepin. Well, there were quite a few people who thought Kade was John Luke, which was pretty funny.

And I didn't ever ask Cade, did you ever tell the truth or did you just go for it? Cade. Dutte call making Cade. Cade. They thought he was. So that was Cade's first official trade show as a duck commander. They thought it was John Luke. You know what Cade did?

This is my favorite part of Cade. Kay got him some business cards made. He handed one to everybody at that show. Every single person. I loved it. Hey, here you go. Take this with you. Well, no.

What business? with you. And he would say, what business is he going? Oh, he was telling them, if you ever need your call tuned, you just send it over to me. I'll tune it up for you. I'll get you right. I'm a job call specialist. Okay, okay.

All right. I loved it. Oh, it was great. But you know what my favorite part of Kade was? At first, he was not really working his salesmanship because we were a tag team in the register. And so at first he was just kind of checking people out and that's it. Well, then he started taking on a salesman role and he started, every person you walked back. Hey, you look like you need a duck call.

I don't even say to them. And then one person was doing like the whole, you know, run of it. Oh, yeah. And practice and whatever. And then Kate said, we had like stuffed duck. What do you want? Oh, yeah, taxidermy. My taxidermy duck sitting there.

And he said, that's so good. That's about to bring this duck right back to life. You keep doing that. That's what he said. I'm about to go higher, Kay. Oh, yeah. He was working it. Yeah.

Cade, you know, he in his former life had his little band called Cade and the Palmetta Kickers. Well, we ended up at an after-party thing that had a very, a band, I think their name was like Park Hillbillies or something, but they were very similar to the palmetta kickers. And Cade was on the front row with hard eyes for the band, son. Like, if you would have seen him, he was, I mean, Cade was like, oh, this is it. He's made it. He told me that was his favorite part. Oh, I bet. Yeah.

No, he, I mean, he was up there like front row groupie style. It was, it was good. Cage stayed till it shut down. I walked in the party, did about 20 minutes post dinner and saw everybody I needed to see. Skeet adled. I'm out. I was in bed at 9.15 or so. You're so old now?

I am. Well, I've learned on the. trade shows those days are so long the last thing you want to do is at a long night on top of it on top of the first night we didn't go to the thing that you went to and then the second night we went to the thing and the next day I was so tired I was like I should just gone to bed you learned that lesson yeah so I remember the first time me and martin went to shot show together looked vastly different than the last time me and martin went to shot together I mean I've tried I've done it all so I can say this from experience like I've done the walk in take a shout at

hour go back to the booth. I mean, I've done it. It's not for the faint heart, but you can do it. It's not advisable. I way more recommend, like, when I left the second day at six o'clock, I got on my phone, find that Domino's app. And by the time I walked back to the hotel, they were there. And I grabbed my pizza and I went upstairs. And I never left my room again. I was like, this is, it's fantastic. But nine hours on a show floor talking to everybody, like, shaking hands and my voice was gone the last day which that was other thing more tiring than you know yeah but it's awesome too because you get to meet all these people that look you know for whatever reason look up to us it's wild and probably the number one comment now is we love the podcast so i mean they're listening to this right now

they know that i'm talking about them i enjoy that whole thing it's just when the night in when the day ends i don't i don't want to talk no more like i just want to go i want to go watch something something from 2002 on TNT and eat a pizza and go to bed. 2002 on TN. The year I was born. You know, I'm just saying. I did get caught up. Show me something with Denzel in it and let me go to bed.

I got in a weird spot the other night. I was just tired at home and I was watching USA, the channel. Oh. The office was on. I was like, I didn't watch this since, you know. I didn't even know. I still had network, man. I watched commercials and everything.

He got Google. I have YouTube TV. Or YouTube. Yeah, he got one. A USA's on there? We have YouTube TV just for sports. Yeah. There it is.

But anyway, so that was, you would call your first trip as a Duk Commander employee trade show, a rousing success. Yep. Are you ready to do more of them? I am. And I'm ready to do more of them better. She's a hustler. Because I will say, if you were at the show and you saw our booth, we can do better, the look. After I saw other people's loose, I was like, I was like, I was.

like, no. You gotta come back looking better No, Bella. Bella, you don't careful. Here's the problem.

You gotta load and unload that thing. No. I want to keep it simple. I know. You are duck commander. You are the most popular duck call brand

in the history of the world. You need a folding table and a cash register. That's it. Jay Stone did ask us if we could have a folding table in there. We didn't have one.

And he was like, but we always have a folding table. That's all you need. and a black tablecloth Maybe a chair Makes it gets slow Well We were in kind of a bad spot

Look let me tell you We weren't in a great spot I am more about the aesthetics Oh here we go I do want it to look good And I do Value the look of it So how do you value the look of it?

Well no no It don't hurt to look good That eats into the profit Hey Hey But That eats into the profit I think honestly

You're right Hey you already Spiced it up when you was there darling That's true Yeah you helped enough Okay yeah Hey I did take during my dad was there

I made an executive decision To work the register the whole time So that I could stay there Yeah And not you know I did take some pictures And talk to some people as Sadie You know across the register counter

But The Yeah they were doing that And Stalin was taking down the booth Stone was like five days in Memphis is too much for him He was like I'm out He was taken down the booth during the day He told Jacob he was about to shawshank redemption this day

Well I'm surprised I said walk out there with a little bit in your pockets Every time drop it I was surprised he stayed there Yeah five days of human being interaction like that For Stone is In a confined space Oh yeah

I will say I never Has anybody checked on him? I never saw Stone after the show either I would see Cade I'd see the others. I didn't see. I never saw Jay. I don't know what he was doing.

Have we seen him since it ended? No, I did see him at the office the day after. No, no, I'm talking about why we were there. I'm worried that he'd see him? I didn't see him at nightlife for. Oh, no, he didn't go to any nightline. That's what I'm saying. I didn't see him post show.

Stone ain't into the night. I think Stone was in a room with a bottle of Weller trying to figure out where it all went wrong. That's it. That's it. Or at the local Jiu Jitsu gym, just pick it on people. let me see what you got. That's awesome. Oh, man.

Well, Jay did. He brought his own glorified lawn chair. And I was kind of like, what's a glorified lawn chair? It was like a Yeti brand launch chair. So it was like a launcher, but it looked a little bit better than a basic. Oh, it had money.

Got them Yetty launch chair. Oh, no, he got that from Jason Roberts. Yes. Well, let me tell you, when I saw it in the booth at first, I was like, this ain't going to work. We got matching stools that look nice and matched the booth. I was like, the Yeti lawn chair is not really, you know, the vibe.

Then I sat in that thing. Oh, yeah. The Yeti lawn chair is the whole vibe. You like that one? If you like that one, you ought to try out the trailhead camp chairs, all I got to you. Well, here we go.

It was very comfortable. And the new beach chair? Unbelievable. I don't even go to the beach. No, and I don't say it wasn't the vibe because it looked at it. It was a beat up. It had spray paint on it. It wasn't like, you know.

It's Phil's chair. Well, that was the best thing. Hey, that was the best thing that Jay's done, has brought them the eddy chairs that he got to the duck back. Do you need some? Well, no, I'm just saying he brought him to a duck ride. Because they will send them to your house. No, I don't need them.

All I got to do is call Andrew. Yeah, hey, put him in a duck right. Send some to Sae, but send them to my address. Andrews, I want some, but he lives over at my house. After a few hours, I was like, Jay. But you'll learn, too, to pay the, you'll learn, too, that we need the extra $100 for the padding in the booth and all the floor pads, it helps.

It helps. Like those Expo centers, do all the things. But they clip you for every little ad on. That's the beauty. But I didn't book any of that. I hate that I'm not in that world anymore. What, trade shows?

Trade shows are fun. Let me rephrase that. Consumer trade shows are fun. I enjoy consumer trade shows more so than corporate trade shows. Corporate trade shows. I don't want to go talk to. a bunch of suits. Like, we're all friends.

We've known each other for 20 years now. Like, we can catch up via text message. That's fine. Or a phone call. Not a big deal. Yeah, these are the guys that you've... But the folks out there spending the money with you, I'm happy to sit there and talk to those people.

Well, they go duck hunting with you. Yeah, man. Yeah, they're spending their hard earned dime with you. So I'm totally cool with sitting there and talking shop with them and hearing all their duck stories and all the thing. And now there's like a crop of kids that are watching us all. all the time too. So like there's a bunch of four to 10 year olds that when they see you,

they like pass out. I mean, it's the wildest thing. They lock up because I guess they're kind of, you know, post-pandemic kids or whatever. So spend a lot of time inside not meeting a bunch of people. And so they just now experience restaurants for the first. That's what I'm saying.

I mean, they're like, they're not used to crowds. I remember when we brought our kids back to restaurants. That was a bad deal. Yeah. I felt I had to tip well. I mean, it's, it's really cool to see all the young,

young guys and young gals out there giving hunting a try. And it's, you know, that's a lot of fun. But yeah, being around it all weekend, I've come back and been whittling on duck calls. Yeah,

you've been making duck calls. I do have something to ask. What? We have an email from Courtney of Amarillo, Texas. Amarillo, Texas. And I actually think Bella may be in charge of this whole ordeal, and I have no idea how to answer this. Okay.

What is how? We have a podcast happening on August 31st, which is a Sunday. Yeah. Bella, what am I doing? That Commander Sunday? We've talked about this. I know, but I don't really know what I'm doing.

And the people need to, the people are asking, what do we do? Let me be clear. Let me be clear. It's not a podcast because of audio reasons. It would just be live with the duck call room, guys. But it will not be recorded. Oh, man. Because I'll record it.

We've heard that it's too hard to record out in the opening. Oh, my God. Hunter, you pan. I didn't say any of this. I found out about this the day you said it in the in here. Okay, to be fair. No, it'll be rough. You can't record.

Oh. Why did that you, Martin, behind your back? It was Martin who told me. Okay, but what's the whole day? You can't record out there. We're 70 feet from a train track. Like, we, you can't. Hold for train.

Okay, but anyway, what is, what all's happening? I can't. I can't explain why it would be hard. We don't care. And, you know, because he's right. Yeah, no. We don't have to. Well, you'll never hear that episode unless you come to Duck Commander Sunday.

Yeah, let's do it at Duck Commander Sunday. Tell us about what's happening. The whole day. Aren't you in charge? Hey, that would be a day, though. We could go live. We could just do live. You don't have to.

Instagram it. Yeah. Big crowd, just Instagram live or YouTube live. I mean, you can do all of it. Okay, are you talking about the whole day? The whole day. The people, Courtney from Amarillo, Texas is thinking about driving from Amarillo. Great.

But what is she driving? You want to know what she's going to be seeing. Okay. Being involved. Besides us, may you or not be recorded. Okay. I thought you were talking about she was just wondering about y'all's podcast specifically. But anyway, okay.

So the whole day, we're going to start out with the church service in the morning, led by some of the family. We'll confirm later who's exactly doing what. That has not been worked out yet. That is the most duck commander Robert. I just don't want to say on behalf of anybody in case things changes. Something could come up. Yes, I just don't.

Somebody could suddenly have a baby and nobody tell me until I see it on Instagram. We'd never know. When did that happen? Well, your sister. Oh, oh, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's all good.

Anyway, that's water in the bridge. Okay. She's a busy person. First thing, first you'll have. You know, Sadie had a baby? No, I didn't know she had. Well, that's because you're not Instagram. Well, right.

Yeah, if you were on Instagram, you'd find out with me. I know that all the Jeff's kids are pregnant. Gus isn't Does y'all know Gus wears a size 10 shoe? Yeah he's a freaking nature Why are you obsessively people's shoe size? We're going to watch

This is the second time that's come up today That one kid's got freakishly big feet He is 16 year old with giant feet And he's tiny He's our intern, yeah But Gus is in the third grade And I know that because on Allison's new room Gus was apparently in that classroom last year

And there's all the kids height marks from last year, there's all the kids, the teacher, and then Gus. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, who wears a man-sized nine and a half shoe. And goes to Freddy's and gets three hamburgers. Yeah. He is a growing boy.

We will watch Gus on Saturdays or Sundays or he will be watched on television as whatever athletic field he chooses. Yeah. Yeah. The boy's freakishly talented. I told you what he did to Ben's. No. Oh, the soccer game?

No, no, the flag football game. We gave up that night. We said this isn't for us. When the second graders just whoop the third graders. Yeah. All on, well, when Gus whooped the third graders by himself. Yeah. It was wild.

Anyway, Sadie had a kid. All Jep's kids are pregnant. But Duck Commander Sunday. Well, once you have another girl? Yes. Yes. Kit. Kit Caraway.

Everybody's fired up. Kit Carraway. Kit Carraway. You want to tell the story about Kay? Yeah. You should. I think you should. And then we'll come back to Doug Commander Sunday.

We'll get back to it. But you'll think this is funny. So, Sadie... This is the most K thing ever, by the way. So Sadie's name is Sadie Carraway. Yep. After Mama Kay, who was Kay Carraway. Yeah.

So Sadie is Sadie Carraway. And I actually think Maris Reed's daughter is Maris Carraway, too. I could be wrong, but I think that's right. But Sadie, for sure, is Sadie Carraway. Well, Sadie wanted to go tell Mama Kay that she was naming Kit. Kit Carraway after her. And Sadie told her, she said, I want to tell you something. She was like, we're going to name Kit after you, Kit Carraway.

And Momok Kay said, oh, my gosh, no one has ever done that for me before. Is that not the most Kay thing you've ever? Oh, that's great. I was there with that outfit. You were. When I said, Memo Kay, you name. Sadie that. My mom was like, well, I did that

like 30 years ago. That's phenomenal. I mean, that's the most K thing I've ever heard. Sadie was like, well, that is my name. That's so good. But that's a classic. I'm okay. Get it away.

And she's super cute and little. You heard it here first. They got it off. It was a surprise, though. They got off M. H's. Yep. They got off the H's. They got off the H's.

Yeah. Yep. I know, well, which I'm sure she'll say this on our own podcast in detail, but they had had a, well, they had a- Give us the inside scoop, breaking news. No, all I was going to say was they had thought about an H name, too, but then they realized like they were kind of just going with the H's just to go with the H's, but they really loved the name Kitt. So they just went with Kitt. We're not going to, you know, try to do H, H, H, H, H. Triple H. How many H is they trying to have? Our third one did us in.

You have one like Lottie. You tap out of that game. Yeah, get out. Or if you have two at a time, you get out. Tap out. Get out while they get. That's not what I heard. Yeah, now that we're almost three years post,

let me just tell you something. She sent me with a permission slip to the urologist. You can get that reversed, man. No, I'm not. You don't have to get it reversed. I'm not doing the other way. He said he ain't going that way. Zoop, and then shooop.

I've always said, and I still stick by it. I'm totally cool with adoption. You don't know what? I don't want to know. You don't want to know? You don't want to know? You probably shouldn't. I didn't even have my head up,

but I think I know what you got. Oh, stop. Yeah. I knew that there's a boy weird energy in here. Hey, she said she felt it where'd come in here, boy. Donny D. He'd been on them ghost all weekend. That's what he told me,

that when Santa Claus gave me a bisectomy, he said, look, you don't have to get it reversed. we can he looked like soundcloth you can go in we can extract via a needle and then you know just back in yeah nope send it back no i'm about to be 40 that ain't happening i'm a couple of weeks he's got two and he's happy with the two he's got i've thrilled but brittany brittany might be interested well now in a little brittany as long as you got to be got to watch these women well luckily for him if she tries that method that santa claus told me he'll see that coming yeah i'll know about that one it's the other one that gets you yeah but me and martin are safe from that one

so far all of a sudden they like you way more than they did a couple months ago it's called baby fever anyways yeah oh oh man moving on moving on moving on moving on moving on i said move on go i agree we'll move on for that. Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah. Doug Peter Sunday. It's coming soon.

So the afternoon, let's just go back to the schedule. Just do the whole schedule. After the church service, we'll have a festival from 12 to 6. Festival. I like that. Festival. Will there be corn dogs? We'll have fun.

There won't be corn dogs, but there will be catfish. There will be what? Catfish, Charlie. Catfish Charlie. That's real good and real threat. Okay, so we're eating catfish. Are they bringing mozzarella sticks? I think so.

Probably so. Because I've told the people that listen to this podcast that the world's greatest mozzarella sticks reside on Louisville Avenue in Monroe. Catfish Charlies will be there and a lot of other vendors. Yeah, I think so. I've got to find a human being to work the booth. But we're going to do it. Honeyhole will be there.

And then we will have different things going on throughout the day. So one part, we're doing a duck call contest, which Martin is... Hosting? Are you the judge? No, I'm going to be the host. We'll have other judges. Other judges. Oh.

Yeah. I mean, I'm sure the judges would be like Stone and Kaye. Godwin. Godwin, for sure, is locked in. Kate is locked in. And then I haven't talked to Stone, but I'm going to give him a break. Well, he's pretty busy. On Sunday afternoons?

I'm going to give him a break from last weekend before I, you know, ask him for more. But then after that, my cousin's Lila and Matt. If you all know them, I don't know if anyone watches the one. The band Dasher. They are going to be doing a set. Zax Kids. Yes, Zach's Kids. They will be doing a set singing their own music.

And then the Dasher band. The Dachers Kid. Zach's Kid. They were on American Idol, both of them and made it very far. Your niece and nephew. And they have good music. Their music is very like, I don't know what you would call it. Like.

Good. Country, but not. It's not, it's not, Hillbilly. It's like, Hillbilly. I don't know that hillbilly's what they're doing. Folky.

They play a Phil. They play a Phil. They play a guitar. Yeah. It's good. It's a mashup of like country bluegrass. Yeah. As well as my brother Will will be doing worship in the morning as well.

And then after that we have a concert by a Louisiana guide, Garrett Jacobs, who was on American Idol a few years ago. And he's going to be playing some Credence Clearwater Rev. in honor of Pop-ball Phil. And that's pretty much sums up the day. That's pretty good. You're going to dust off your guitar and get up there with him, sir? They ain't all used to me dusting it off.

I can't play it. Good point. He's more of the microphone, man. I wish I could. But we'll be taking the stage for a little bit. Is that? Yes. So during the Duck Call Contest and also the Live with the Duck Call Room will be kind of together

in one thing. there will be the duck call contest and then right after y'all will be on. Cool. Yeah, it would be pretty easy. Yeah. I think that me and Martin talked about the dot call contest should give y'all some plenty of things to talk about. Yeah, we can talk about some time.

It'll be fun. Oh, and then also John Luke will be around to, like, do kind of like a Q&A with the crowd. If anyone has any questions, I think he'll be kind of like. So John Luke's going to be our emce. Helping out. Yeah. Like that. There you go.

During that part, yeah. John Luke, the MC. There you go. That used to be my job. Now you get to sit on a chair. Wow. Unless somebody younger than you do it. I'm not that much older than it.

Oh. We'll have jumpy houses for kids. We've got snow cones. We've got soda jar, a soda company coming to do sodas. We've got... What are the... What do they sell there? They got a line.

So I've never been able to figure it out because there's the line. What is a soda jerk? Dirty soda, which means it's like soda with like creamer and like flavorings. They make it the old fat. Like when size... used to go by Coke and they had to like chemistry it together. And it's the same weekend as the gar rodeo. Oh yeah, Johnny Dee's doing a car.

The day before I'm going to be out there weighing gar and seeing who can catch the biggest gar. Oh, we should have had the way in here. Okay, I actually was going to ask you like, what is a gar rodeo? It is a fishing tournament. With all the trash fish. I know. I just wonder, like, what is something about rodeo?

Well, it's just the fun name. And if they got some real gar fishermen. Oh, you'll have some big ones, I'm talking about it. We'll have some six-foot gar hanging up at our part. Yeah. I tried, look, I thought pretty hard to get the way in in downtown Westman Row in Antique Alley in the middle of the street. Why not?

And I was close. I believe a couple people were like, you know, there's some fancy stores down there that might not like that. Kind of going to be a sportsman's weekend of sorts, the city. If you ever wanted to come. Expo, Duck Commander Sunday, and I think that Doc Commander will have a booth at the Bode Expo and maybe at the Gar Radio. I don't know.

I got recognized at a Buckees. I'm the mascot of a gar rodeo. I'm almost read. I saw you got it recognized at Disney World, too. Oh. Bush Light, sign this man. Hey, I did have one person, speaking of being called Sadie. Uh-oh.

A lady came up to me at Buckees and said, can I ask you a question? I said, yes, ma'am. She goes, is your name Zach? I said, not at all. And she goes, oh, I thought you were part of the Robertson family. I said, I am.

You got mistaken for Zach Dasher? See, and I literally went to Zach Stevens, and I was like, this is a little offensive that she thinks I'm the Swede, although me and the Sweet are good friends. And then she goes, you're on the podcast.

Oh, boy. It's a joke we do now, people. It's okay. He made it about himself. He did it. Yeah. Don't ride motorcycles. Anyway.

Yeah. Um, anyway, you threw me off with that one. This lady's like, she thought I was Zach from Unashamed. Really? And I said, no, I'm John David from. But you wear totally normal hats and you, you don't wear glasses even though you don't need them. So I don't understand where the confusion was. It's a weird deal.

I got, stop laughing, Hunter. I can't believe that you, um. I got mistaken for Zach Nash. I can't believe you just like owned up to it and didn't just say, nope, not Zach. I was super confused. Have a good day. from Zach. I couldn't figure out

who Zach was from him. Couldn't let it go. And I was like, what? And then I realized, oh, she thought I was Zach Dash. And then also that weekend the blind will be re-releasing back into theater.

So it's a pretty big weekend for everything here, everything in this room for sure, between Honeyhole. Oh, actually I forgot one cool part about the commuter Sunday. Okay.

At 4 o'clock, from 4 to 5, we're doing like a watch party of sorts and on the screens we'll be playing the old duck commander footage and so for an hour we'll just have that on the screen vintage duck commander yeah back when we killed them back when we can make a video in a trip and we didn't have to hunt all week to make 12 minutes back whenever we all made duck hunting videos instead of goofy videos yeah well we didn't have to cook biscuits and have lots of filler weather the storm yeah that's actually when it started going down

When y'all started naming the DVDs, we're having trouble killing things. That's whenever it went. It was like, oh, boy. But that's what Phil loved. We're weathering the store. He didn't want to go where it was easy. Yeah, Phil went from, let's go get these videos done to we're going to ride the hole just to see what you're made of, just to make you surrender. That's right.

Let's test you. That's why I got invited what? And I surrendered. Hey, he had a bunch of them surrender. I said, I'm going to. You surrendered eventually. Well, hey, I got tired of that crap. The trips are way more fun, aren't they?

I'm sorry. Hey, yeah. Yeah, this riding a hole, that, yeah, that, you know, I've been with the boy all his life. You know, that got old, it got old quick. Have you ever duck hunted down there with that crew? I'm going for the first time this year. This shit, Martin lets me. No, you're welcome to go with them.

No, I want you to go with them first. That's a different experience. You go with them. Then you come with me. No. Don't waste your time going to go last year. And Martin kept telling me, oh, you're going to be too cold. It was trash.

Hey, look, don't waste your time going with them. Okay. No, go with them. Go with him. No, don't go with him. Is this Uncle Jace? Yeah. Don't go with him.

Go with him. You can't have fun. Okay. Yeah, but it's it's, you got to like, you got to put your time in before you can have fun. So you go up with Stone. No. And Jay's about putting you time, man. Go have fun.

Here's how you know we didn't kill them. Like, I've never, well, okay, we did shoot ski on the show. So I've never shot a gun with in this position before. Yeah. What position? Like up. Up. And that is a little, not on a rest.

Intiminating. Yeah. I took your husband for the first time last year. I made him earn it. And he thoroughly. He did. He called me. He was like,

I like Bella's husband. Yeah. Oh, no. I liked, I enjoyed hunting with Jacob. That was fun. Well,

Jacob is fun because, hey, he'll give it, you know, you get on him with, hey, he'll come back and get on you. I also had him staying there

till four o'clock. Seven pounds out. Do we have any emails or anything? Do we, I, one thing we haven't talked about that we can probably do in the next little bit.

Since I just want to know, Bella's thoughts on the first season of Duck Dynasty. It's, Doug Dynasty, the revival is over. Season 1 is done because you were very much a child for the first round of Duck Dynasty. Now you're an adult. So I want to know the take home. Did you enjoy it? Was it?

What are your take homes? I'm going to ask you another question. I asked your dad. So it'll be fun when he was in here. But yeah, what did you think? How was it? It was really fun. I think it was a lot of kind of what I knew from when we first filmed,

and then a lot of new, too. I feel like it was kind of both because obviously I did it when I was a kid, so I was used to it a little bit, but also now I'm older, and when I was a kid, it was just kind of like... Yeah, well, now you're a main character now. Yeah, my life and stuff like that. So it was different, but it was super fun. I mean, I loved it, and I feel like I expect.

there to be not saying that there's been no negativity but I expected there to be more and I feel like so many people have loved it and like a lot of people have been positive and sent me a lot of nice messages about even just us sharing you know that's all more private parts of our life people have been very positive and I feel like I've gotten nothing but good messages good that's awesome what was your favorite one of season one alone alone because you're the winner yeah She picked the one where she went. That's my girl. That's my girl.

It was because that was the most, like, experience thing we did the whole season. Like, Sy, did you hear about what we did alone episode? Okay, so me, Sadie, Mary Kate. Can I say that he doesn't know about it? Yeah, no, that's fine. It's just funny because we know Si watched it. No, I just didn't know if he had heard about it. Anyway, cut that.

Si did you watch? Nope. Okay. Anyway, so for the first. the alone episode, me, Sadie, Rebecca, and Mary Kate all went out into the woods and tried to see who could make it the longest alone in the woods ourselves. I heard about it. Yeah, we did a podcast on it.

My dad gave us a little bag of things, but it was not very much things. And so we all tried to make it, well. You made it the longest? I made it the longest. I thought Mary Kate won that. No. She was our pick. She was mine and your pick.

Oh, okay. That's who, yeah. You were praying on the downfall. Yeah. Sorry, you actually bet against me. I went, I just went with Franklin Parrish, man. I went with, I went with Homesteader. Y'all should have quit with Comptainter Employment.

Well, I couldn't because your dad picked you. So, like, you know, for sake of conversation, we had to have a little banter. Mary Kate would make it the long as you all fall. Yeah. We stayed out there. Not woods. Like. Welcome to TV.

Y'all, like, I'd bet on. anybody not hurt. From like, until I stayed out until after dark. She gutted a fish. That's better than your brother. No, no, no. Actually, I whittled a spear.

Okay, I caught a fish, then I speared a fish, then I roasted it over a fire. And I did not gut it. And ate her bluegill. And I ate a bluegill. You didn't gut it? You and your brother.

You know your brother did that. Like when you were a child, he went and caught fish and then just put them in grease without like even he just deep fried that sucker that sucker was swimming in water then went to swimming in grease and then john luke ate it so the same question i asked your dad who were you most surprised by on duck dynasty this season one like he would they just kind of blew your mind my answer was actually i'll tell you my answer my action was your husband like he actually come out of his shell a little bit like it was I mean, for me, like, again, all of his interactions up here at the office were, hey,

and kind of keep up, I saw it start coming during duck season, obviously, when I hunted with him. But then on the TV show, I was like, man, look at him. Like, he can say more than, hey, as he walks by during the office. He's got a lot of personality. No, no, really, because what's funny, that's my pick. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, because, you know, all the rest of them are kind of, they was, they wasn't comfortable when the camera came and got on them, Jacob said, I could care less. Well, for the in-laws, it's a little harder because they've never done this before. But that's what I was surprised about is how well the whole your dad's family all did great.

Thank you. No, no, I'm serious, they really did. All the kids, I was shocked at, you know, how well they really, you know, I'll say my pick for the one who surprised me the most, which is maybe cheating, but Zane. Zane is a little actor.

Like he, well, should I say actor? Zane is a little performer. Zane, just like, he's not shy in front of the camera. He likes the spotlight.

Yes, when the camera gets on him, he just, like, is so confident and he's so cute. But. Well, when you're that age,

the whole work. world is a stage. You can call them an actor and that's fine. Well, Zane, like, even compared to, like,

Shepi, Shepi is himself and he's like, but he's a bit more shy when the camera gets on him. But Zane just. The boys are coming out of that now. Like, they used to not like the camera, but now it's like you take them and you video something.

The first thing they say, I want to see it. I want to see. And then when they watch themselves, they just smile. They're like, yeah. So then they're like,

do it again. And so then you turn it back on them and they're, you know, they start acting little hams. I'm like, oh boy, here we go. We got us a live one here.

Yeah, some of the little ones are still, you know, just don't really know what's going on, but Zane, he loves it.

Yeah, I don't know what we can say about season two, but I had a moment with Zane and Shep and they're not afraid of nothing. What did you do with Zane? I don't even worry about it.

Yeah. In the tackle shop. Oh, I have seen that. I've still cleaning up. I have seen that. actually. They're wrecking crew, boys.

Also, honey's shoplifted. So, we'll get to that later. Oh, they're good for it. Let them get out of this postpartum stage. You'll be fun. You can get it. You know where they live. Bellum.

Bellum. That kid got some threads and said. She looked at me and she's like, yeah, that's okay. She comes in the store, actually, in our store, and she always wants the pink. Yep. Dot call.

Oh, fishing bait. The pink fishing. Bates. That's what she wants every time. She could be, please. And they're like sparkly and pink. And that's what she took a few of them. He's all girl. She's taking a few from here. And I'm always like, honey, what are you going to do with fishing baits? Pocking them. He's a collector. She lives on a great pond. Yeah. The collector boy. Well, that's fun. Bella, thanks for joining us. Johnny D. You want to send us out of here? I was not ready for that, man. God. I had a, I had an email dialed up. Oh, well, do the email. We still got time. Well, that's done extra to that. Now I'm confused.

Hold on. You can have different tabs open, man. I know, but I didn't. I didn't figure I need to tell you that. Okay. I mean, I'm not like a... You've messed me up. A control F on Hunter or whatever he is.

You hit him and wasn't ready. You watch it. You get him and he wasn't ready. We're just going to verse of the day this. Verse of the day this. Are we? First Timothy, six, seven, and eight. For we brought nothing into the world and we can take nothing out of it.

But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Wherever you find yourself, if you find yourself content, you're beating half the world. Amen, buddy. Yep. Yeah. The most important, we ain't taking nothing when we leave here. So spend it all now. Have fun.

Have fun with it. Thank you, Susan, for joining us. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. Hey, next time when she comes, is she a guest or a special guest? Can we just? We'll figure it out. Okay.
