Duck Call Room - Miss Kay Is Back—and Doing Just Fine, Despite What the Internet Says

Episode Date: July 8, 2025

Miss Kay makes her triumphant return to defy internet rumors of her failing health—or worse. She’s very much alive, very much retired, and absolutely NOT back on the market. Uncle Si claims the title of the only “normal” original Robertson sibling left standing. Al spills the beans on who’s really been running the show behind the scenes for the last 15 years (spoiler: it’s not Willie), while Martin can’t hide his joy at seeing Miss Kay again. John-David gives credit where it’s due, thanking Miss Kay and her cookbook for turning his wife into a kitchen rockstar. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

All right, well, we're just going to kick this sucker off. Welcome back to the duck call room. We got a very, very, very special guest today. Two special guests, one of them with more varies in front of her name. We got Al in the duck call room. We got Si, and we've got Miss Kay Robertson in the house. She lives. You live, Mom.

Thank goodness. I'm tired of being dead. I'll tell you what, there have been more, Johnny Dee, there have been more fake AI internet deaths for Mom since Dad crossed over. I don't know what the big rush is, Mom. They keep trying to, but they, every one of us supposedly, including Stone, has, has like given our last will and testament to Mom. And they show this fake, ugly crying face on every one of us. And then they show, Mom, an AI version, that's not even you. It doesn't even look like you.

Doesn't look like that all. No, it doesn't look at all. Yeah, I'm not the only one that died. That woman did, too. Seems like there's a conspiracy, you know, to get us to leave this earth early. Well, Sa, how many times have you been killed on the internet? You've been killed many days.

Oh, yeah. I've died many times. You know, I just, you know, my, what's funny is Trace always has to call. You know, it's just dead really okay. Mom said, oh, this is just him idiot. I tell people, don't believe what you see on the internet. Yeah, don't believe what you see.

Mom came to Weiss Faye Road a few weeks ago, a couple of times ago when I preached, and I said, tales of your demise have been greatly exaggerated because you're here today. So this is a proof of life video, don't it? On the duck car room, the first appearance, you know, on video, Mom is alive and well. You're doing good, Miss Kay?

Well, I'm talking. That's the last. Well, you're here to live. laugh, aren't you? I am. And I'm here to make, for you to make me laugh. I'm going to do my best. We're going to do her best. That's right. I told me, I saw Ms. Kay a few weeks ago and she said, Minnie me, when I'm ready to laugh, I'm going to come on that podcast. And so when Beth texted me the day and said, Ms. Kay's coming. I said, you tell me the time because I got a job to do and it is to make Ms. Kay laugh. And I hope I can do it, Ms. Kay. You can. But we're going to let

Saib mainly take that over. I may not even put it off. Well, you know, Willie's been trying to pull Mom out of retirement because she was on the first couple episodes of the revival show. That was not a smile on your face there, Ms. Kennedy. No, Mom said she has told Willie in no uncertain terms that she is retired. She's not dead, but she's retired. Isn't that right, Mom? Yeah, but he honestly can't hear. He said he's trying to squeeze every bit of work out of you that it could possibly get.

Yeah, before I die. That's exactly what I'm That's exactly how I feel right now Oh boy They've been running me to death I said boy I said good grief You know

Jesus called Phil home And hey boy Everybody's kicking in gear on me and me straight Well the way I look at it So here's what I said So I turned 60 this year's eye So I figure one of you two Is at the plate

The other one is on deck And I'm in the hole I'm waiting to get on deck because if we just go by age, I'm the next guy up. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So there we go.

I'll turn this into a baseball game. Me and you're at Baptist guy, and he's up. I don't know which one of you said bad. He's going to be warming up. You know I wouldn't get a baseball player. Well, that's why Willie's working you to death because you were the star of Duck Dynasty.

That's right. Now they got Duck Dynasty revival, and they got us to call him. what I like to call the pros. I think that might be what it is, Ms. Kay. Oh, good. Because you've been my favorite part of the new show. Every time you show up, Carter gets excited.

When we saw you in the neighborhood the other day, he said, hey, Miss Kay, he's like, stop the car, Dad. Missy was driving her on the golf cart. I was like, what is it? He goes, there's Ms. Kay. I got to ask her how she's doing, so he was fired up to see you. No, no, I laughed yesterday, and when we was down there, Jason. You know, it's a big line.

and next hour and all I look up, Carl's the 20. Give me a high five, sir. Oh, yeah, he broke in front of all the visitors, all the guests. He's like, move it. I said, Carter, where are you up to, sir? I said, you were on my podcast the other day.

Well, so let me brag on mom because, so, you know, obviously this was a hard deal on all of us, but it was especially hard for mom. And so when she came to church that day, his first time people had seen her, because even at the funeral, you know, we get to see everybody was there. And so, you know, they were saying, Miss Kay, you look so good.

And so mom was, like, offended. Yeah, have I been looking that bad? Well, she said, I'm tired of people saying how good I look. My husband just died. It's not like I'm back on the market. And I was like, Mom, they're not saying, they're not saying, you look great. Hey, do you want a date? They're saying, like, you look amazing.

It's good as you. They're saying, well, it's good to see you. Exactly. That's why I'm trying to explain. But you said that in your mind. You were like offended because you were like, hey, I'm not out there.

I thought I should look sad. You should be in the morning shroud and all that. But mom has been like since this whole thing happened. So she moved in with us. She's living with Jay and Anna. So she's in our compound, which for those of you don't know how we live, so we have a compound within a bigger compound.

That's right. And Johnny Dee has people in the compound. He used to be, Well, you're still just as a... I'm an OG of the compound. I was born in the compound. That's right. Now I'm one of the,

what I call the normies that live outside the gate. That's right. And I'm outside the gate too. I'm just... I'm just... I almost made it off the gate. Me and Alex are on the normal street.

Then there's another street with the gate and we all... But we're all... It's actually crazy how many people live there now. It is. And so, because with the Robertsons kind of pulled up Beverly Hillbillies because all the Howard's

and the Shackervids were there, and we just kind of came in, you know, concrete, you know, pool. No, no. That was like the other day, you know, they called me and said, or Philip called me and told me, and said, hey, you got to go to John Luke's house. Well, I went to William's old house thinking that's where John Luke lived. You know, I pulled up, Rebecca comes out.

She said, what are you doing here? I said, well, I thought this was John Luke's house. I said, where's John Luke live? And he said, she said, oh, you got to go back out and then go back through a gate. Old Paz Willie's out. I said, oh, so I didn't even know the daily little aware with Sadie.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And there's 14 different inches. So we're really not that same. Right. It's, it's. Oh, hey, the kingdom has been growing in behind the gate. Well, I'm not the first one to bring a trailer into the compound.

I'm the second, but I did do it. But actually, your grandfather was the, first. Oh, A.H. A. H did it. So he set the precedent that it was okay. They're not happy about it, but I always go back to the original patriarch and say, if A.H could have a trailer, I can have a trailer. He didn't have his own plane at one point. He did, he did, which I cannot say the same. He went from that big old house. He said, I got to get out of this stupid thing. Let me get something more economically friendly. But so mom has been, so she's been like doing her physical therapy. She's saw some weight, you know, she's really been great.

So I've been super proud of her. She's working hard, you know, because you work through a grieving process, but mom had a lot of health issues as well. Yeah. But mom, you're probably healthier than you've been in a year. I mean, don't you think? Well, yeah, especially those months in the hospital. Yeah, and all the time in the rehab and all that stuff.

And then with dad, you know, in the... Yeah, you heard to try to sign autographs in the hospital. It's really fun. Hold on. Back up. We're not letting that go. You signed autographs in the hospital, Ms. Kay? For like the doctors?

Well, the staff and then people walking down the halls, they looked just like Ms. Kay. Yeah, that was her. Let's go see her. Really, is there a sign up that says, come on in? And you couldn't get away. You got stuck. I tried to pull the cover over my head.

It didn't work. So when mom was in the memory, care part, which I have to say, it's a tough slog because everybody there was like dad was, but mom wasn't there yet. So she was like, you know, she just has a little dementia, right, Mom? Yeah. She has what we call fun dementia. But everybody else in there has some serious problems.

Well, they just come in your room. They don't knock. They don't, they just come in like they own the place. It's kind of weird. And so mom would get put out with them. And I laugh so hard because mom would, so this one particular gentleman, and mom thought he was homeless. I said, well, Mom, he's not homeless.

He lives here. And she said, oh, I wish he'd be homeless someplace else. And so he would just come in and just basically whatever we had brought up food-wise, he just helps himself to the donuts, the pizza, whatever. And mom's like, and one day he comes in. It was Mother's Day. We come to visit Mom. And he said, well, what's going on here?

And he just kind of slides in, you know? And I said, and Mom said, we're having a party. And he says, well, that's not fair. And she said, life's not fair, sir. And so he just kind of shuffled away. And I thought, well, I guess you told him. Well, he was on every piece of food we had and just going down the whole thing. Okay.

That's just normal. Yeah. You've never, you've always had a houseful. That's a great point. Anywhere you go, you have a houseful. That's right. So that's normal. Okay.

Yeah. You couldn't even go on a date with Phil without having this guy in the back seat. Hey. You used to company at this point. The third wheel. Kay said at this point, I'm kind of over company. I always remember Phil's laugh.

Hey, who you got in the back there? He said, oh, that side don't pay no two. Yeah. That was exactly what he said. And he stuck around anyway. All right, look, springtime is here. 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 Tritels Beef makes such a good product, ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Cy Robertson, would say buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready

for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritale's 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 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 Triedails Beef. I know in size case, Christine loves it,

which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat easier, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's trybeef.com slash. Dock. Support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. Well, the first episode that I was on the old show,

the little duck show, Jace calls it. The first episode was the one that honored Mom and Dad's 50 years the Duck to us part. And the whole storyline, I guess the B story of that event was you doing like a walk down memory lane

with Mom and Dad on all those dating years. Y'all did some stuff on the show. But it was great for us because we've heard those stories because people ask me all the time of the time of the other. They're like, it's sound like the way he is on Duck Call Room and all this.

in like in real life and I was like oh that is size real. No, but hey, that ain't you just get a little bit okay in the show. He's worse in real life. Yeah, but they don't understand, you know, when Phil first met this young lady, you know, when she comes to the house, well the first thing, mama said everywhere they went, hey, take your brother with you.

Yeah. You know, how would you like that have, you know, have me hung around your neck? And you know, you know, the people, First thing, Jan said, when I came in, well, we were all dressed up. I had on an evening dress and everything because we were going to something fancy. In the evening dress. Yeah.

And Phil, of course, looked down. You know, he dressed down, of course. He had a cow flot of T-shirt on, probably. Yeah, and so, anyway, you know what Jan said? Jen said, oh, mama, Phil brought a prince's home. No, no. what she said. Well, you did look like a princess.

Well, I had, I was dressed in. I mean, you were decked out, had the hairdo and the dress and all. Yeah, I like to trip on everything in the house when I walked in. I mean, but we had to dress that. And I guess Phil borrowed clothes from Harold is what I think. How he even was able to dress for it. That's awesome. His brother, you know.

Yeah, but they just had stuff all over the floor that you were tripping over? Oh, yeah. You didn't pick up after yourself, son? We didn't have a maid, son. You had 14 brothers and sisters. Hey, we didn't fool the house. That's woman's work. Oh, boy.

Oh, boy. And we'll be back right after the... Good, you can't say that. Hey, sure I can. You just did. He just said. The truth. Oh, that's funny.

It's awesome. I wish we had that picture, okay. Of Miss Kay's first time. Oh, no. This young. lady was looking fine. I'm not about it. She's checking her head.

She was looking fine because she brought a case of Coke's in. I saw the movie, so I know how this thing was. And she had a grocery store and you like snacks. Well, she had a blue car. She was the driver for us. She was the wheel lady. So did you know,

that my first car was actually that blue car that mom had that Ford Fairway? My great-grandmother had it. kept it, and it was a tank. You know, this is a 64, 4th gradeways. It was a year before I was born. This thing is made out of real metal.

The real metal. And it had dings all over it from where my great grandmother ran into everything and out, I guess, or mom, I don't know which. No, it was her. But it had a 289 special, which was a rare motor for that car. But that thing would run like a scholarly ball. Yeah. It was really great.

And then, of course, Dad blew the motor up in it on the duck call trip, and that was the end of my car. but that was my first car was that wasn't that a shot yeah shocker Phil broke something yeah yeah and didn't and just left it where it was oh no yeah well that's it's walked away it was like well that did I get my car back no I left it wherever he was in Arkansas someplace oh no that that was when he was running with Danny George and they oh yeah everything they drove it broke down hey wherever it where it's said They leave it.

They just left. I just left it. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? That was trouble and more trouble right there. That's two. Phel and who?

His name was Danny George. He's crossed up his way. I was one of his old buddy running buddies. Okay. He was part of that crew that it's, what do you say? Said he told him that man is dead. He's gone. Oh, no.

That was the coolest thing that Phil Robertson ever done for his younger brother. Okay. As I was in for leave in the army, going down at the house on the river on Cypress Creek, and we was out there talking. And here comes all of his buddies driving up. Talking about, hey,

let's go run the women and get drunk, you know. And he just looked at him, and I mean, I'm serious, I wish I had a camera on them. Because he scared the living, you know what,

out of them. Daylights. When they ask him, okay, hey, come on. He said, hey, you boys looking for a dead man.

He said, I buried that sucker and I buried him deep. He said, now y'all get back in your truck, get off my property. I don't want to ever see you again. And you were standing right there. I was standing right beside him. I'm looking at him. You know, and that was one of the ones, you know, pop out of the sailor man. His forearms were that big around, you know.

And he was still in college athlete shape. He was still in shape. I don't know if you know this, but I was still taking. terrified of him when he was about 75. Oh, no, no. I wouldn't mess with him. Well, hey, you know, back in the day, like, you know. He'd have won that fight.

Yeah, I just, I looked and there was, these boys were, because, hey, when he said, hey, get back in your truck and get out for my property, they immediately obeyed and scrawled out there and, hey, they didn't come back. Well, I don't know too many people that bucked the system when it came to what Phil Robertson said. I'm just saying, but that was the best thing my older brother ever did for me is when he told them, hey, you're looking for a dead man. I buried him good riddance, y'all.

And they depicted that in the movie really well with that scene. You know, it was a little different than because I was there. And several of the scenes and movies were like that. We may not have been exactly the people that were there in each of those moments, but it really did a good job of showing it. Well, I actually kept telling him because, you know, most people that don't know him, that weighed heavily upon him. Yeah. Having that movie made.

Right. Okay. And I just, every time I got the chance, I said, hey, look, you ain't the only one that watered in the pig pen. Yeah. That's right. And that was. I said, they won't get off of it. I said, because they made the movie of it.

And you said you was okay with it. but I knew deep down it really, he thought him himself as like, Paul, I'm the worst of all the worst. Well, you know what, Sias, like, there's, I mentioned this on our podcast that there's a movie, I think it's called Paul the Apostle or the Apostle Paul. And it's a, and the same guy that directed it, ironically, was our director for the blind. Oh, okay, okay. And as it turns out, this movie, which is one of the best ones I've ever seen about the Apostle Paul, throughout the entire movie is him having these, these like almost like visions or flashbacks of all the people that he had persecuted.

Oh, no. And had been even, even died because of what he did. And so his whole, the whole movie is kind of set against the backdrop of regret. You know, I mean, he's doing everything he's doing for the Lord.

But like, he has this huge regret. Oh, at the end, when they literally behead him, at the end, he has this reunion with all these people, all these people that he had sent on.

and crossed over. But it was really powerful, and so it was ironic that that same guy directed our movie, which was also, for dad, a lot of regret. At the same time,

look at how many people he's led. Well, no, no. See, that was the thing because that's why I kept reminding him. I said, hey, you ain't by yourself.

I said, yo. I said, because if they had come to me and ask me, hey, let me show you all the rotten stuff you done,

Sire Robertson? I said, have you lost your mind? I ain't going to do that. Right. Yeah, instead, Phil said, well, if I can bring one person to Jesus. That's why he did it. Yeah.

He said, if I can bring one person from Jesus away from the devil, it'll be worth it. Yeah. And he got more than one. But, you know, but like I said, it really weighed heavy on him because he considered himself, okay, worse than Paul. Yeah, he did. Okay, he really did. And then Paul caught himself the chief of sinners for a reason. No.

So we were watching the movie the first time when I was sitting next to my. and it was really funny because you know I'm everybody's kind of in the theater is looking at mom and dad and this is the first time they've seen the movie we're all watching it together here in tensil town and I'm I'm looking down there and they're just kind of watching not really reacting too strongly at first and so there's a scene where they're sitting in bed and talking and mom the actress playing mom is reading a magazine it was a life magazine and mom looks over and says I would have never read a life magazine It is just, it tickled because I thought of everything that's on this movie.

I mean, come on. I mean, good housekeeping, maybe, but life? I mean, no way if I'm going to read that. The Life magazine. What did you have against Life Magazine, Kay? Well, I don't remember at the time, but obviously I had something. You're more of a pioneer woman than a Life magazine kind of like. That's correct.

I wanted to tell, I don't think I've ever told this anywhere, But so when Sa, one thing is we loved about Sa, we only got to see him about every other, like, holiday season because he was always deployed, usually in Germany or somewhere overseas. So the whole time he was serving the military, we only got to see him periodically, maybe once every two or three years, because he'd be gone. Yeah, it was about two years. So he would roll in. And, of course, we would hunt and play Domino's, and it'd be a whole, you know, week of gathering. And we just found a picture, by the way, side of that era

when you were probably in your 30s. I'll have to bring it up here and maybe they can pop it in on the podcast. I can see Trace of Lee back there. She looks like she's maybe 10 or 12 in the background of dad too. So, Sa would come in and he would, this will be a shocker to you, John D.

He would regale us with stories, with crazy stories from all of his missions and deployments and hunting in Germany. So we would gather around and hear these stories. And of course, it was all the setting of the precedent of now what America loves about Sye. And so that was kind of our whole attachment to Sye. He was the storyteller.

So when he would come in, he would tell us all these things. And we never knew what to believe. It was what percentage of us. Cy says 955. I don't know that that's correct. I choose to believe all of it these days because it makes me happy. I'm serious. That's pretty close to being true.

You literally said that the B&B stole your tires while you were going to. And 35. Most of it is based. Never got under 20. You know, is based on truth. That's based on truth. Yeah,

I'm serious. I'm choosing to believe. The other 5% when it gets pretty wild, that's the 5% to make it interesting. So I'll say this. So inside, so the publishers, when,

you know, when the show takes off, everyone wants to do a book, you know? So Willie and Corey had done a book, the Duck Commander family. And they had actually already written the book. Then the show hits,

well, the book just takes off like a meteor. So, Then they did Dad, happy, happy, happy. And it was the same story from the movie. It was his story, and it was great, amazing books, sold a ton of copy, over a million copies. Well, then, of course, they want to get a Cy book because everybody who doesn't love Uncle Sae.

So their idea, the publishers, and we knew the post, because this was Johnny's company at the time, way back then, Corey's dad. And so the publishers wanted to do like a book of sayings that Syed does on the show, which to me was so low-hanging fruit. Like it's like, you set that sucker on the back of a toilet and everybody's house. Exactly. And look, would it have sold? Absolutely.

So Phyllis at the time, who's their main editor, is a friend of mine. So she calls me and she says, what do you think about this idea of this book we're doing for Sy? Because I had helped them with Dad's book. And I said, do you want my honest opinion? Or you just, I mean, and she said, yeah. I said, well, you'll sell a ton of them because everything size and Amaz on, he's going to sell. I said, but you are missing a huge opportunity. the book that needs to be done is sye telling his life story through his stories through his tales i said

because that's what we all fell in love with we we love the way side tell stories and she said now that's an idea i said look do what you want well about two weeks later i get a call back and it's like will you help make this happen i was like i was just fixed like then i owe you a lot more than i thought you do this was my idea so i never knew how you No, no, because I was wondering how they were going to pull this off. Oh, yeah. I didn't know. It was your favorite nephew.

Yeah. Hold on. I just want to point out that right before we started, the accountant brought in a check to Sye, and that's when Al decided to make this now. I've been waiting to tell this story. No, no. Until Sai got a check. Si, see, Siam, you owe me nothing.

I did it because I love you. But I told him, I said, look, I will sit down. I want to be a part of the interview. So Mark Slayball. who's the same guy that Ghost wrote Dad's book, Ghost wrote Sides. And he's a great writer. He's a sports guy. He was a ESPN guy.

But he did a great job on our books. And so we sat down, Sa, do you remember this? It's where Phyllis lives now at the lodge for three days. And I sat there and I would prompt stories that I'd heard all my life. All they do, when I would hit a, just, you know, forget. He said, oh, no, no, tell me, tell them, tell them about this. What about this? Say, you remember that time when the wolves?

chase you and boy here you go and so he just told his stories and then we brought christine in one day and course you know she's size fact checker you know she's like missy is to jace so i was like in spite of christine fact checking but she filled in like a lot of the family stories about their kids and about the military deployments but it wound up being that was psychology by the way size first book which sold a ton of copies and it was it was great and i was so glad they did the right thing by telling the story the right way. Because that was the way the story. No, no, because it was a very, you know,

because I don't read that much, but I actually read the book. Shocker. No, no. And, you know, that's the first. He actually read the book. Well, I actually read it. Did they put it on PBS in cartoon form?

And it was no. But it was an easy read. It is. People love that. Okay, because, you know, the best part of this was, okay, Al's behind the deal of to getting it put together and it Why it worked

Man behind the scenes Don did the voice Yeah he did the voice For the audio Once again Al's idea No no and hey I've been holding on to this I just say if you're wondering how this whole operation

works you're looking at the guy right Forget about Willie forget about Jays Amen I mean this is the real guy That's why when I actually really want something done. Who do you call, we just talked about I want him to do a sermon. You got a sermon idea for me. Okay.

Because I just know. Good luck. I just know, okay. He's good enough that he can pull it off and it will be what I think it should be. Because what I want to do is I want to tell the people, he does it now very good. That is my biggest fan. But, okay.

You know how many times on a Tuesday? do we come in here? All right, y'all, y'all got to hear what Al said on Sunday. Let's go. Hey, Martin just walked in. Martin, did you, see, sigh, yelling at the dummies about the creation of the cosmos today? But Al's going to do a lesson one of these days.

He's got, he's working. Al's going to explain what the Bible literally calls unexplainable, so I can't wait to hear it. I got it. I got it. I'm ready. I'm not afraid of this task. I like it. I got it.

Well, I actually, I actually was teaching the youths at a congregation, and I want to mention where. Oh, boy. Because they actually told me I couldn't teach them anymore. Okay. It's a true story. We've gone down this. No, no.

But anyway, okay, the reason they've done that. We fact check this one too. As I told them, I was telling the kids, okay, all the things that Jesus is. And one of them is, I said, hey, look, I finished it with this. I said, that's my older brother. And they said, well, you can't teach the kids anymore. because you brought Jesus down. And I said, hey, I really like that you,

do you think I brought Jesus down? I said, but that ain't the truth. I said, and you need to read your old Bible. You're all three in error to the elders. I said, because, hey, Jesus is the one that said, I will call them brothers. I said, but hey, look, I love all three of you, and it ain't no big deal.

Okay, I don't have to teach your kids, okay? You got you, you can have your kids. Yeah, you can have you. He's not better. He's not better. One of my favorite things about Sye, though, is when he loves you, he calls you a dummy and an idiot. But if he's mad at you, he says, you are in error. Right.

I've learned that whenever Sye says I had to look at him and say they were in error. That's when he's mad. If he calls you a big dummy, it means he loves you. Yeah, that's right. Well, I know, but I know Al can pull it off. I do too. Because if he pulled your book off, then the guy's one of them now. That was the best way to do it.

It was, I was right. It wasn't the best book we ever had, though. Well, no, no. Because this one I have hidden behind my back was the best one we ever had. Kay Robertson's. You know this book? If you go in my house, there's like a couple pages that just open and fall open because of how much we use it at my house. And you started talking about books.

And I look back there and I said, Miss Kay's books behind me. I'm giving that one little flaw about that. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. It's a cookbook. Yeah. Everybody gets mad because they can't make it taste like she makes it. That's true.

And look, Mom's struggling. And the key to that is, okay, is them little hands. That's right. You can't have the big, meaty hands. You've got to. Who did I tell that to? All of us. The main one was Willie.

Willie. And he got so mad at me. And he said, we can't make for us because we got them big, meaty hands. He said, quit saying that about me. I said, well, look at it. your hands and look at mine. Right. And you can't put the love that I put in it. This is the page that made Willie so mad.

The homemade mac and cheese. I was working for Willie when this book came out and he would try and make it. He goes, that's just not it. Like it's not, it doesn't taste like my mom. So he called her and I was sitting there. He goes, and Miss Kay goes, oh, no, you got to double the cheese that the book says. That's right. Well, you know why?

Because Chris Howard was the editor there. and that's the last person we need doing cooking is Chris Howard. I mean, let's face it. You know the sign that says never trust a skinny cook? I mean, Chris has been skinny her whole life. She can't do any recipes. She's got Johnny's pizza on her phone, one button push. You know, as a family member, he's correct.

That is my aunt, Chris, and I will not defend her at all. We love her, but we'd love her, but we'd much rather have to leave her in charge of the cookbook. Don't ever think, too, Mama, get cooked, okay. Okay. I do cherish our cookbook, though. I have this at my house. And Ms. Kay wrote a note to Allison in it. And I think it says, I think it says Allison D, which is hilarious.

But she just, Johnny D. Allison D. It just works pretty good. But it said, in it it says, I love seeing young women learning how to cook. And this book probably 10 years old. Now my wife just be slinging in the kitchen almost every day. And she looks up to you and this cookbook was a big part of that. That's good. And, you know, Souser, thank you.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. size is the lone survivor of the Robertson siblings. And what's funny, size that dad, so almost all of them had dementia, except for Jimmy Frank. Well, I've had all that, you know, from birth. From birth, right. And so we just got used to yours from, and which is probably the best. So you are the most normal robinson. What's funny to be is now you are the most normal. Well, no, no, because I tell you, okay, I actually tried to be normal for five minutes, one time. How was it? Oh, it was driving me insane.

So I just said to H with it, I'm going to go back to being crazy. The H with it. Yeah, I'm going to be crazy. I'll just be crazy. Number one, number one is a lot more fun and number two is less stressful. Just be who you are. Amen to that. It's so funny because we would do interviews back during the show and we would all go to New York or someplace.

And so then they were trying to be all like, you know, these, news media, some of them are trying to make a big deal. They're like, well, it's just really a scripted show. And I would always say, are you kidding? Can you imagine trying to script me? That's right. I mean, that was, you were your own walking evidence that there's no script for Sey Roberts.

Even when you tell them to say something, it comes out way better. Way, that's better way better way. And not what you said. Here's the thing. When you got your own Fox and Friends, you don't want to say something like, hey, don't bring up the word script when you're out there. That's the first thing I talked about. That's the first thing I said when I was set out.

That's right. They said, I said, hey, look. Is that the time? I said, I am a director's worst nightmare. I said, they would give me a script. I said, I'd roll it up and throw the trash can and then do what I wanted to do to begin with. And then did you hear the story when we were on the little after show for the Today Show, the Kathy Lee and Hoda or whatever it is? And so they're sitting there and they're like, well, we understand Mr. Phil.

you know, you have dogs. They're trying to be real careful about what to ask that. That's when he went on it. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, I got dogs. They're the first line of defense. They start yapping. And if people start coming trying to rape and pillage and maim my kids and my women,

then it will be a hell of gunfire like you. And they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know, they're trying to like, it was like, we took a turn into Smith and Weston there. And so then they looked to sigh to bail them out and they're like, well, Uncle Si, you know, and he said, hey, we'd rather have a Bible study, but if a gunfight breaks out, we're ready. And it was just like, it never came back. And then, then Willie, we get on the plane to go back home, the whole family. Okay, Willie stands up and turns around to the whole plane.

He said, hey, you ought to know, if you come to rape and pillage air village, boys, you're running to a hell of gunfire. We laugh so hard about that. Well, Phil knew he was about to be famous. Everybody in the plane would just... He was getting the word out. And then two months later, we're filming the show up at Darbonne Lake. It was that episode when Willie was on the jet thing.

Oh, yeah, yeah. And so we're all sitting in the cars because we're doing a drive-up where everybody gets out at the little vacation site. So we all got walkie-talkies to cue us when to drive up. So Willie gets... I mean, this is two months after that's happened. And Willie says, all of a sudden, because the people are back and forth, you know, all right, standby, standby suburban number two, blah, blah, blah. And so then Willie comes in, he's like, if you try to rape and village our women, there will be a gun.

A minute, though. And we laugh. So we all get, if you go back and watch that episode, we get out of the cars, we're all laughing so hard. But it was because of Willie doing this, you know, he gets bored, you know, that was it. That's so. Well, I was on another plane with them and sitting back there, and all of a sudden I heard it. And if you, you know, the pillage and they're doing that.

And then people are looking around like, what is that going on? You know? And, of course, we were laughing so hard. We couldn't quit laughing. It reminds me that we were on a mission trip one time. And it was about 20 of us, and we were flying to Dominican, I think. And Gordon Dasher was with us, you know, Jan's husband. And Zach's dad.

and so he's sitting up front all the rest of us are in the back of the plane and it's one of those little ones and so they come on the thing and they say you know we're going to have to move a few people because of some weight things for the plane which you know they'll and so they're like we need some people up front to move to the back

well nobody made a move everybody just sits there so then they come back on there like would someone between the rows of two and four and course Gordon's sitting up there on the third row moved to the back and so we're watching And I'm sitting next to Ben at because he's Gordon's unlaw. And it's like, they're talking to Gordon.

But, you know, he's the biggest guy up there. But he ain't moving. And so fine, it's like, will anybody in row three, please? And like, we are all laughing so hard. There's like, with the fat guy and the 3A, please move to the back of the plane. Yeah, get up and move your fat butt in the middle of the plane. Oh, my goodness. And Lisa, you know how she, her lap is?

She got so tickled. the whole plane could hear her laugh. Gordo, he finally got up and took the 20-foot walk-a-shame to the back of the plane. Oh, goodness gracious. Well, Martin's here. I'm going to let Martin squeeze in here and talk about yesterday, or not yesterday, whatever day it was.

We had a big, Jason Missy had a big happening out there. Martin was baptizing people left and right. I was over in a booth. I never got to see anybody. I never saw you there, John. I was working. I know. I was just out in the crowd.

But I'm going to let Martin squeeze in my seat. I'm going to go over and sit in Hunter's chair and scream things from afar. Speaking about that, how many did you do baptized, Martin, down there on Sunday? I don't know how many we baptized because it all got in a deal. I mean, it all happened in a frenzy kind of a thing. You know, baptism a lot like when you have public professions of faith. A lot of times, what's the best?

It's kind of, you got to have some. somebody break the seal? And then when the first one goes, it generally starts a flood of people. Like, they're like, okay, now that I saw him do it. Now, I know. And a lot of the people came to the event, like with an expectation because we've done it every year. So someone is like putting the gospel out there the whole day.

There's like different speakers up there doing their thing. And so people are being touched and moved the whole time. And a lot of them come with that idea. But I loved it because I looked over there, Martin, it was like hooping and hollering going on the whole time. It's because we had some CR guys over there, and they loved to hoop and holler. Oh, yeah.

Martin just joined right in. It reminded me of the cruise we did, the Duck Commander Cruise, because Martin was one of the designated baptizers. And we baptized like 300 people on that cruise ship. Yeah, that was cool, man. Which the only, the carnival people told me, the only other people that ever been baptized on a carnival cruise

were drunk people that fell in the pool. It wasn't really intentional. Nobody willing. Nobody will. They didn't really get baptized. They just fell in water. the poll. But yeah, it was cool. So that's the first time I've been to Faith, family, freedom, right? Yeah, that's, I try to make sure I say it, right?

It was mom, was it your first time, mom? No. You've been out there. Oh, yeah, you and dad were there last, which is hard to believe that dad was there speaking last year. That's crazy. Yeah, and because I signed a bunch of stuff of Phil's signature on it. So it's a, it's kind of a pilgrimage, almost type deal for the people that have come. They continue to come back, which tells you what kind of event Jason Missy are putting on there. It was really cool. Yeah, it was the first time I was in town for one of them. So when Jace asked, I said, absolutely, man, I'd love to, I'd love to help out however I can't.

I had no idea that y'all two were going to be there. Of course, when y'all two started, y'all kind of broke up the baptism line. Everybody ran to that. Everything stopped. When y'all got to talk and everybody said, you know, we'll be right back. That water ain't going nowhere. Well, no, no. Sunday was a unique day.

You'll see, when I come in, I usually said, in half way on the left side. Yeah. Well, there was everybody sitting there, so I just sat on the other side. I saw you back there. Yeah. So I sat down and you all and then Kim coming up in life.

She said, I think I'm going to get a reserve seat and put it on that. And I said, I'll get out of here. I said, I was just kidding. I said, but anyway, y'all, the singing was fabulous. Yeah, so good. Praise team. So, Dad, you were there. So, I mean, Dad would preach the gospel every in the morning at these divals.

Well, people started saying, you know, know, can we get baptized? And I'm like, we got water everywhere. We're surrounded by water. We got water on the boat. So we started doing these baptisms like at 10 o'clock in the morning. So the first couple of times, it was just a handful. By the third day, they were lined up down the Dito Day.

We had a regulation line. So we wind up getting three of us in the water. It was me, Martin, and dad, and we were all in the pool. And I'll never forget, it's one of the coolest things I've ever experienced because there were people on a deck above us, looking down over us. And then there were people above them on. on a walking track looking over them. So it was three levels of people.

And every time we would immerse somebody, and we were going three at a time because there were so many people. And Larry West was there, he was sharing with them. And every time somebody would go in and come out, all those would clap. And it just reminded me of the verse in Luke 15

that says that angels rejoice in heaven when a sinner returns. Yeah, they throw a party. And we were having a party right on the lead up day. And there was no alcohol involved. He said that. He said that on the other day. He brought that up.

He said, I can't remember when man, Phil was, Hey, we was dunking him as fast as we could. And I still, there's one that'll always stand out. Guy was a, it's like 98 years old. I carried him to fill in the water. But he was a photographer in World War II and Vietnam War. So he was like an armed services photographer. And it took him to 98 to get baptized before he found.

So it just shows you like, And there's a picture of me and Phil doing that. And it's one of my core memories of like, out of everything Phil taught me, right? I mean, we've killed so many ducks together. We've done, we've done a lot of cool things together. But to be able to. And 90, you're right? 898.

Yeah. Who had seen the worst. Oh, yeah. And photographed. Yeah. Of man. Yeah. Like, and to be in standing right there with Phil as he's asking him who's going to be

the Lord and Savior your life. I mean, that's, that don't never go anywhere for me. like that. That memory is etched in the core, but, you know, those memories also don't exist without K. So, you know, without K being hardheaded, I love you, Kay, but thank you for being hardheaded. Thank you for being stubborn. Thank you for fighting for your marriage. Thank you for all the things, because a lot of it goes, you know, a lot of it went unnoticed for a long time, but we just want you to know we love you. I'm so thankful. I'm so thankful. I'm so thankful. that this lady is sitting here with us today.

Like, I mean, unbelievable, Kay, we love you. We, we, we want you here more. I'll, I'll even make you an office here

if you, if you want it. I don't. You don't. Martin missed the early part about her retirement. No, no, I'm just kidding.

I walked outside. He's not back into dating. Well, Nan come up here yesterday. She said, Kay, he's out there in a car, so I went out there to see Kay, but she had,

I think you had dozed off. And I said, you know what I'm not going, going to do i ain't going to wake her up i'm not going to tap on that glass and be the one that gives her a heart attack so uh well i have to take a nap everywhere i can well you inside both you learned from the best he was with you your whole life if anybody can teach you how to naping of napping yes oh man yeah when i got there yesterday the first one i saw when i come up behind side so i came up and tapped him I don't know if you remember it.

And then I said, your sister's here. That's what I said. And Sal looked around like, who? Who? You don't know me. I remember Kay out at the event, Kay went riding by me on a golf cart, and I just yelled, there goes Kay from Duck Dynasty.

And then everybody in my line said, I said, hey, I don't blame you at all, man. I'm about to go get in line to see Kay too. Proof of life. Yeah, proof of life. Gathering out in the middle of a cornfield chair in the gospel because I mean legit if you haven't been there this place

is a square in the middle of a cornfield it is like I mean there is 10 foot tall corn all around it feels like field of dreams yeah I tried to get some on the way out and Phil would let me I may not feel me whoever and I said they will never miss it it was me but she said she said

Phil won't let me get that corn I said are you having a conversation because maybe she is at the place I, baby, it is, Mom. Hey, do you need some sweet corn? I can find some for you. Don't worry if you're putting in an order for sweet corn. She was telling stories about her and dad

used to stop and get corn just out of the field. I was like, well, Mom, that's called stealing now, but I don't know what they're going to miss three or four. Well, they ain't going to miss 10, 12 corn. Yeah, spoken like a good thief. Exactly. I could have that. I could eat all that by the time I got home,

book it up. Nobody ever knows. Evidence is gone, right? That's right. You don't want to find that. Yeah. Kay, I hate to tell you, but there's staying day called DNA. They find you if they wanted you.

Oh, by the way, corn doesn't digest, just so you know. Oh, man. Yeah, it'd come out and wash. Oh, man. You know why? If they're that hard up for a criminal blessing. He said, if you need $20, call me corn farmer. I got you.

I notice on the way out there, because you've got to drive by OCC, they're growing corn. So if you just want to go stay out there, you probably get you. Some of that call? Yeah, we just saw that. We didn't we. Yeah, they had a full garden. They did. I said, mom, you want me to drop you at your new home?

Oh, thank you. Kay, are you tired of living with Jay yet? Huh. I just curious. I didn't know if there was a short answer there. I figured y'all may have already talked about it. Yeah, he's something else. He really is.

He got his ways And Oh, Stone. Yeah, he's got a certain time He likes to You to leave the TV room And he'll take over I said, okay, is there a message here?

And he just looked at me and I said, I got it. Jay likes to watch Game of Thrones. That's not exactly mom's cup of tea. Oh, okay, you'd probably like Game of Thrones. Oh, Mom's like, it's 14 episodes of FBI. Every time I'm like it's the same. same ones. I said, Mom, I know how this one ends.

Always in the last five minutes, they get the guy. They get the guy. He's good at him, boys. Yeah, they learned it from Walker, Texas Ranger. Exactly. Well, that's just my show is, not the thorn of whatever it is. The thorn of the game. No, when Jay, Jay has that, he just looks at me, like, and I said, don't worry, I'm out of here. It is 20, 25. Why is Stone just now watching Game of Thore?

Well, he's a little slow. Of course, he also just got Facebook. Exactly, right. He got Facebook two days ago. After making fun of everybody on Facebook. But now he can't stop smiling. Oh, of course. Every picture, Stone's got a fish.

Nobody even believed it was really him. They thought it was AI because he had talked so bad about it. Yeah. I defined his first friend. Almost everybody did. Yeah. Now Stone got skinny and he smiles now. Oh, yeah, exactly.

I don't know. I like Happy Stone. I just ain't seen him yet. He smiles in the pictures, but he don't bring it up here. Like, I don't know where he leaves it. He was happy all the time. It's like he must leave it at the time clock and pick it back up when he leaves.

I don't know. But, oh, man. Well, Kay, I guess we'll get out of here. We'll let you go take a nap. I got a Bible verse. All right. We're going to let Johnny D. Read the Bible verse.

I got the same verse. I actually, I think I ended the first time Miss Kay was ever in the duck call room with us. Really? Because, well, there's a whole chapter in the Bible that's about you. It's called Proverbs 31. And we talk about everybody feel affected from the people that showed up to faith family freedom to everybody that

has a job here to everybody that lives in the family compound to the millions of people around the world that have heard Phil Robertson preach the gospel and that's amazing but without Kay Robertson there is no Phil Robertson so I'm in this with Proverbs 31 28 through 31 her children arise and call her blessed her husband also and he praises her many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Amen. Honor her for all that her hands have done and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. I think I speak for duck call room fans, unashamed fans, Duck Dynasty fans, Phil fans, and anybody that's ever heard Phil Robertson speak, you are to be praised, Kay,

and we thank you. Yeah. This is them little tender hand. This is a little tender hand. This is a little tender hand. And I'll just say this. Thank God for praying women, right? Like, because we've all,

every male in here has had a woman or a liege of women praying over them our whole life. And a woman that has a lot of patience. Amen. I'm still working on that with mine. Hey, she can't help it. Rocky Top, baby. That is.

But thank you, Kay. I know this goes without saying, but that chair is yours whenever you want it. So we love you. Thank you for being here. So good to see you smile. I love. Look at that lift stick.

You put that on around? You do hair makeup this morning? I did not. I did hair makeup before the thing out there. And she said, is this it? And I said, Mom, that's all I got. I would never live. I ran a brush through it.

That's all I know to do. I do a lot of things. But hey, this is all I got. Hair makeup is not my specialty. Well, we'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
