Martin, I am excited about this. We decided we wanted to do something special for the fans this week. So before we tell you everything, we do want to welcome you back to the duck call room. You're here. You're here. But we're not going to be here. We're leaving. We're out of here.

And we are going to share one of the podcasts from our friends, co-workers, family. I don't, I'm not sure. Neighbors. Yeah, I'm not sure how many. Across the pond baits. Adjectives we need to use to describe them. but the Unashamed folks are going to jump in. So if you are a Duck Call Room listener

and you've heard us talk about Unashamed and you've never had a chance to check it out, we are going to play one for you right here. And they're going to tell us how they ended up getting Sigh on that Treasure Hutton show. Stay tuned right now from our friends over at Unashamed, J-Shael, Missy, Lisa. Unashamed Nation.

Unashamed Nation. And we will see y'all when this is over. Sorry if they're not as funny as this. I am unashamed. What about you? So it's our second half of Ladies' Day on the Unashamed podcast since Phil is off doing a eulogy today for Zizi Topps funeral, which is kind of weird. But at the same time, he was very humbled by it, which I think is really cool. I mean, he only met him that one time.

Well, that was a couple times, I think. Maybe so. We interacted. Maybe so. Just throughout the show. because we were at some event together. I remember that. Yeah.

But obviously, Dad must have had a big impact on him. And I'm sure, you know, dad talks about spiritual stuff to everybody. So anyway, so. Oh, I was in on the conversations with them. It was, it was funny. I mean, it's funny that we're in two totally different worlds. The beards brought us together. And I think the spiritual conversation, they were, they enjoyed it.

They liked it. When I first heard it, I thought, when I first heard it, I thought, when I first heard that they asked him to speak, I thought, well, I know what he's going to speak about. I thought, what a cool way to introduce Jesus to a whole new audience. That's exactly right. I know he's going to do that. Oh, yeah. And so did he or his wife or whoever had the idea to have him.

I mean, they know dad. So they know that. So we got Missy and Lisa, our fair brides back on today because we have, we got, I don't know if I told you guys, but we had a huge response the last time you guys were on. The highest rated show of all. I wasn't sure if it was y'all or they just liked to watch me squirm. I think that was part of it. And that's why I've been wanting to do it again. So I was so excited with Missy sent me in note and said that she was, I mean, I've already

said I've always liked to see Jay Squirm. Dave. Gosh. Here we go again. Really? So I was like, just the chance to see it again is worth having Missy and Jay's up. Jay's doesn't like it, though, when anybody else is the center of attention and it's not here.

Here we go. Let's just start throwing haymakers. So if his beautiful wife is on here, he's not the center of attention. It must be this chair, Jase, because first his dad, then it was mom and the last five guys. Now, Lisa, is the throw Jace under the bus seat. I completely disagree with that statement whatsoever. You know, I just want to be left alone. That's true.

That's a true statement. Well, what I love about is because Jase obviously tells a lot of stories on the podcast. And so he'll tell us stories about different interactions y'all have or some argument or all this. Of course, we're only getting his side of it. Yes, I know. I know that. I can't remember every little detail. I'm feeling the blanks.

So you just lean the stories towards your favor every time. That's right. Look who my mom and dad are. That's very true. They're like, they explained to me one time when I brought up the fact that I didn't think this story had happened that way. And my mom and dad both said. These things are based on true stories. They put that in my brain.

They say, you ever seen a movie that's based on? Yeah, they fill it in for dramatic purposes. That's what you do. I would say that's how about every Robertson story is based on truth. That's right. You also got to think about you were trained as a preacher. Yeah. So you and now, you know, preachers always tend to embellish just a little.

Well, we have a license for it. And it was actually quite a miserable experience for me. I'm glad I did it. Because there was some benefits. I learned the Bible. I got confidence, but I was just with a bunch of nerds for two years. Chase doesn't look back as finally on our school years. Those were not easy years.

Those were not easy classes. And that was hard. It became known as the preaching student who had the most visits to the dean for various infractions. Mainly for sleeping. I just never could figure out that, well, that was one of the great qualities. I learned there is how to sleep with your eyes over. And I'm proud of that. But most of the stuff I got called in for was a violation of the rules.

And I was like, I thought we were here to learn about grace. You've come up with a rule system. Remember, they had a dress code. And I'm like, I'm opposed to that for biblical reasons. Descode, no tobacco products. But how many years were those rules in effect? You think you were going to roll up in there at like 19, 20 years old and change all those rules? Yes.

that's exactly what I thought and I was passionate about it but guess what it was a band of one my own brother would not follow me he's like hey I don't know what I heard this story about mom dropping him as a kid I went with I had to create some distance because he was pulling me down I want to be that I wasn't a part of the resistance I was with him in spirit but in actuality no yeah well you know when we were dating and then you know those story of them coming down here and recruiting y'all and all that and I was like no no because I grew up

with a dad as a preacher and I said oh yeah I didn't think about that I'm not marrying a preacher like that's not happening it's it's years of no money and you know I mean you take a vow of poverty that you didn't know you took yeah it was not fun for me as thinking as like I don't want the rest of my life to be the same thing you're such a gold digger I am I know I have been like labeled that for sure. Well, if she was, she wouldn't have married you. That's exactly right. There wasn't a lot of gold to be digging around here.

Yeah. So that's true. When you think about that, like, what was my alternative inmate with you to do? Missy has been a treasure hunter long before you were. You know, we have laid awake, stared at the ceiling, many a night. I'm like, how did you know? How did you know that this guy, duck calls, go around, yep, TV. Show lots of money.

It was all God. All God. We've established on the podcast, Missy, that starting with me, then to Jason, then to Willie, we were all rejected by the asking for the daughter's hand in marriage. We were all told, no. In fact, I didn't even ask because I knew what the answer would be. You just went snuck up and did it. I just said, we're doing it next week.

Deal with it. You know, so I was, you know, not as nice as they were. But yeah. So, but they knew somehow. They knew somehow. It was the. ruggedness, I guess. Well, and now, who's, besides me, who is your biggest fan in life?

What did you say? Your dad. My dad. Oh. I missed that setup. He is. He is. He is.

I thought I'm not sure. I don't have a lot of fans, Dave. Most of our, we're a lot of our fans just talking about Jason or his dad too much. Although, I find that funny, Jason, you get thrown under the buzz because, No one interrupts more and more viciously than dad. Yeah. Literally the other day we were on here and I'm telling a story. And he just, he just, it's like I wasn't even talking.

Yeah. He just, boop, takes out. And then we all got some, me and Jason, Gary Glenn got so tickle because he didn't even realize he did it. Had no idea. Al told a five-minute story why he's called Alan Jones, which I know he's called Alan Jones, but I never knew why. So, Jay's was really intrigued by the story.

I was on the edge of my seat. And Al said, the reason that I was. was called, the reason that happened, because he had this altercation with the police officer, the reason I've been known for Alan Jones all these years, and he was fixed to say it, Phil said, by the way, if you look at Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and it was a great sermon seven minutes later that Phil preached had nothing to do with Alan Jones. It was like, the gospel's the point of the Bible. And we were laughing so hard for the first four minutes of the story.

But we're trying to hide it because, you know, with Dad, if he notices you're laughing at him, he doesn't know why. Then he'll just say, what is it? What's so funny? Yeah. You know,

then he's to get a figure. Well, he was actually given the point of the Bible. But he was so into his own study. He wasn't listening to you. No, he doesn't know your story of Aligenms. No. Because he didn't hear it.

He's exactly right. Because the whole time I was talking, I called him out of the corner of my eye. I'm talking, but he's looking searching his thing. He's hearing a wom, mawam, wom, wah, that's what he was here. But see, I'm not like that. A lot of times when we were in school, they would call me in. They would say, you don't look like you're paying attention in class. I said, but I am.

But you weren't. You were asleep. You've already said that with your eyes open. When I was asleep, I was not paying attention to your eye. But several times, I would stick my head down on my desk. Yes. And I was listening. I was just listening.

James, there comes a time when you just have to say you're lying about that. No, I would listen. I passed. How can you pass it? Because your older brother and me and me. And Missy. And Missy. Give her credit.

You typed up all of his papers and stuff. Yes. You typed every single thing. Everything. Everything. And look, you don't realize people have no idea. Not to just, you know, back in my day. But like, prison school was really hard.

hard. I mean, we had two years of study, but you went to school every day. Ten months, and it was eight hours a day. So they figured it up. If you compare that to college hours, we would have gotten over 200 hours of university level. That's how much time we're in a classroom. And you're writing papers for every one of those classes. So, I mean, I was either in class or studying or writing papers for two years. Well, they wouldn't allow you to have a job while you were there. And yet I snuck out and worked. I broke the rules of that. Remember I cut firewood. I worked in a, you know what I did,

as I worked in Bill Phillips's dad's convenience store at night down on Washington Street in Balkanville. That's what I was doing to pick up a few extra bucks. Plus, we started preaching so we could make a little money. Y'all preach, did y'all? He preached for what, sometimes about what, 100 bucks a week?

I would get that from the little country churches. We'd go through that in about 20 minutes. Well, the gas to get to these little country churches. We drove all the way to Allah, which is an hour-south. I did it long enough to know that Missy's dream came true. Or was it going to be a preacher?

This is not our dream job. So, we were dating. So you would go with him, right? Yeah, but we got married the week after y'all graduated. And so then it was just like, now what? Right. Now we got to do this for an actual living. And then they interned us, you know, which meant we got about what, I guess we were getting for support, maybe a little bump.

But it wasn't much. $800 a month. $800 a month. What was fascinating is they came and recruited me after all this trouble I had caused, and I was shocked. And I remember, you know, Carl kept saying, but you got potential. He kept saying that.

I'm like, just believe in me, not my potential. Because that's saying you don't like me right now, but you have potential. But it didn't work out. But I think everybody has to figure out God's purpose. for them directly and I did, which was build up calls and do other things and then use it as a platform to share Jesus because I really was happy that I learned the ends and outs of the Bible and it brought me some discipline in my life. So, I mean, I'm thankful for it, but I'm like,

no thank you working for an established group because I'm too much of a troublemaker. I can't get along with that organization. Well, and I mean, I was talked about before working for the church is really difficult because, I mean, it is just a, you know, there's, there's a political edge to it. There's so much going on. And the bigger the church, the more in the fishbow you are. Yeah, I didn't like any, any, I worked as an intern long enough to say, this is not for me. So I think we're all grateful now that we can volunteer and you're not tied to a paycheck as ministry is a lot more interesting and enjoyable, I should say, you know, which we got the blessing to be able to do that. It's funny you think about you're right,

and you live on eight hundred a month. And you're like, man, now he's not. look at that's like a light bill. Oh. You know what I'm saying? I mean, and we were living off the whole, that was the whole enchilada. Well, that was several times. You know, in our marriage, I was literally walking.

We had one vehicle there. We did too for a period. Yeah. And it just, you know, when you're walking down the side of the road, you're like, I need to do something with myself. I was hoping he would get to that point. Yeah, get there. Get there.

Save my money and bought a truck for a grand. And it pretty well was worth a grand. Yeah. Well, it's funny because you aren't too crazy either about being a preacher's wife, of course, and I wound up, you know, going into it full board. So why did you not think it was a good idea? I think I did not, what I considered to be a preacher's wife was a meek, mild, soft-spoken.

Not you. This is a quiet, submissive woman. And I was none of those things. And I think also at that point in my life, whenever you decided to do that, I didn't know that I don't really think that I believe that God could take away my sin, that he could see me as a new creature or that anybody else could see me, you know, as a new person in Christ. So I had, I think I allowed Satan to, you know, tell me that it wasn't possible,

that I wasn't preacher-wife material, you know. You've done too much. You know, you can't be forgiven of all this stuff. You didn't feel like you belonged in the club, right? No. And you looked at women. We were around at that time was, you know, Margaret Smith and Barbara Allison. I mean, ladies.

Great women. But then you're just like, how could I ever compare with these people? And Missy's mom, you know, Peggy. You know, she was. So, yeah, I never just, I didn't feel worthy of the calling. I think it's interesting as we kind of share that time in our life all four of us that, you know, how God can take us at such a young, immature age with our immature thoughts of why we don't want to be a part of something, do it anyway, and then bless us along the way to where now,

that's all I want to do is talk about Jesus to people and try to convince them to, see who he is and try to fall in love with him and let him lead you. And so before it was just like, I don't want to do, I mean, I love God, but I don't want to do that. Right. I don't want to put myself out there, you know, especially for no money. It's all perspective. So let's take our first break.

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 Trial's beef makes such a good product. ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robinson would say buy on the grill look before we got

tritels getting ready for a cookout man somebody had to run the grocery store do all the things grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day and you never really know where that beef comes from but with tritels beef we skip the grocery store and do it a different way try tales 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. She ain't 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. So since we're there, I want to ask you both about this because I observed something in both of y'all's life and where we are now. So you guys were in Austin for a while. We've got a place down in Gulf Shores. and you both got super involved in your community, meaning, I mean, literally your neighborhood community, in spiritual ways to help people. So describe that a little bit, both of you, kind of how that came to be and how different that was from us being here our whole lives.

And obviously connected to the church, I mean, we've done ministry, whether we were paid to do it or not. But it's a different feeling. And when you go into this new area where you don't know people, and yet you get to know them in the opportunity. So talk a little bit about that. Well, for me, you know, we went to, for a reason to help Mia with school and being close to her family, her cousins. And so I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. And I'm not used to that. And after, you know, bingeing Netflix and all that when she'd go to school, I thought, this is not what I want to do. I know

I'm here for her and try to help her, but I got to do something too. And I think we can all say for most of our lives that we've been very active in ministry of some sort. And it always, almost always involves people in our home. So, of course, Jessica was right around the corner from me, which was great. And then I met, I have a friend that lives about 10 minutes away that had invited me to one of her child's birthday parties. So then I got to meet a couple other women there. And we started talking. And my friend, Jenna, said, you know, Have you thought about maybe starting a ladies Bible study? And I thought, yeah, to quote Phil.

Hey, we had a Phil impersonation. That's pretty good. It's good, you know. Give that a 9.5. That was really good. But my thought was, I don't want to go in and just like start pushing myself on people. I don't want to, you know, it's just not really my personality. I want, I want Jesus to lead the way.

And I had already been praying about what to do, what to do. And so she said, you know, you can bring Jessica. and I can bring my friend Jackie. It's like, this is a great idea, yes. So I called Jace that night and super excited about it. Like, what should I do? He said, I would start with John. You don't know where these women are coming from spiritually.

The Book of John. Start with the Book of John. And I have always been involved in Bible studies that either I created or would go to where it was prepared. So if you watch a video or you read a book or you just sit and listen to someone, ask you questions that you have the answer. too or, you know, et cetera. And I thought, you know, I think we should just read. Let's just read a couple of chapters a week and discuss, which was kind of nerve-wracking for me because when I,

when they came to the house, I had nothing written on a piece of paper. And that's not like me. So I was like, let's just, let's just read it. What did you get out of that? And that turned, that Bible study turned into an amazing experience, not just for those women, but for me. Yeah. And when we finished that book of John, it was around the holidays. And we said, let's just keep going. Let's just go into Acts. And so I will say that every week, every Tuesday night at 630, those women were at my house.

I was the only one without little kids. So mine was just kind of a more peaceful place. And every Tuesday night, we ended up growing closer to each other and growing closer to Jesus. and understanding what he's about. And I honestly fell more in love with Jesus during this last year of this quietness that I had, this what do I do, I have time on my hands. I think God used that peacefulness, that quietness,

even that loneliness sometimes to grow me. And then to also impact others. And so right before we left Austin, we had a community event that these women and I discussed, and said, let's just share what we've learned with the community of Austin. So we rented out one of the theaters there close by in our neighborhood and invited South Austin. And we had a number of women show up and tears and prayers.

And it was amazing. Right. Yeah. Because Jayce told us about it talked a little bit about on the podcast. Yeah. Well, she was. Yeah. And, you know, I was there a whole lot because my response.

I had responsibilities here. Yeah. But because a lot of people you would think, you know, I told their story before, but I remember telling a guy, I think it was on the golf course, you know, that I had a house in Austin, you know, but I was here. My wife's there and he's like, well, I'm so sorry, you know. Well, no. And I kept trying to explain. Yeah, I get it. You know, I thought, oh, well.

Because they just, you would think that would never work. Of course, we were doing it for our daughter too. And we have Jeff and Jessica there, but, you know, we're busy. Somebody's in a Facebook message to Lisa because we're similar and said, or did you and Al split up? Oh, yeah. We're like, no, no, no, we're good. But I did the same thing.

I mean, I was supporting Missy, you know, in her venture. And like when I would come down a few times, she would have their husbands come. And so we would do an event together. But, you know, we've just learned, I think, since we're not preachers, like in organization. I mean, I base my ministry on the book of John, how Jesus interacted with people. He would always go out where they were and have these conversations that seem small, but then it develops into a bigger conversation and then sparks. I think about that woman at the well, she wound up being the spokesman for the whole town, and it all started from just one

conversation. And I think you did that in Austin through those women. And we try to do that just in our normal lives. Always think about that obscure passage that Jesus said over and over and over that said he who has ears let him hear, which nobody ever talks about what that means. But it's like he was just talking about whoever it is, wherever you are.

And my opening line in all my speeches is, I know I look like a preacher, but I'm actually a believer. They laugh because I don't look like a preacher. But I do think God has chosen us in this way to be real and not just on Sunday. These are house gatherings and just talking about Jesus. So that's basically what we do together.

Well, also, it's not just about Jesus because you want to come to Jesus and you want people to come to Jesus, but why does Jesus want us? He loves us. He created us. And he wants us to be together as a community and as a family of believers. And so that's also what happened during those months in my living room and on my back porches, we became a Jesus community. And these women, these women are going to be friends for the rest of my life. I mean, they're amazing. We still talk almost, I mean, every week for sure. We have a group

text message. We're checking on each other. And I forget that. I forget all of that. You know, during Duck Dynasty, things have changed because of Duck Dynasty and people's perception of us have changed because of that. But these women, they didn't care about all that. Yeah. And I love that because they love me for who I am, flaws and all. We talked about mistakes and flaws and failures. And they're there. And I'm like, that's exactly what Jesus created us to do and to be together. And I found that in Austin.

Now that we're not going to be back, I'm really missing them. Like that was the best part of the whole move was finding them. You have to start a new one in Tennessee. So, babe, I think that's kind of, our experience was similar because of the, like you said, when you work for the church, and especially if you're the main person, the main guy, then people bring people to you. I mean, that's what happened. Problems, you know, marital problems.

And then, you know, we've been open about our struggles. But in this case, we went in and nobody knew who we were either. I mean, they found out who we were connected to. But so we were meeting them. We were just walking around our neighborhood. And in our neighborhoods, about half of it is sort of semi-retirees. you know, people. And so everybody's out, working in their yard, and everybody stops and talks to one. So that's how you meet people. And we just started walking around and meeting people. And it

was amazing just because, again, conversations seasoned with grace and salt, how much they picked up on there's something different about these. I mean, like, they knew immediately there was something different about us. And then it didn't take long before those began to bear fruit in terms of a lot of deeper conversations, people sharing their hearts and stuff like that. I mean, what What has been your, let's take a break. You know, they found out who we were. So then, you know, that kind of went around the neighborhood. But what I think most is once they found out that you were a preacher,

then it was like, oh, well, can you start a church here? You know, we really haven't found a place that we wanted to settle in. A lot of that bad church experiences too, you know. Yeah. Yeah. So can you just start a church here? And we're like, I was like, no, I have a church. I'm working myself to death free for a church already.

So how we started out was we just started having different ones into our home to have dinner with us and to have conversation. And we would give them all a copy of our book. And when we lived in the condo, we had a little couple that was in the condo area with us. So when we decided to move, they decided to move with us. So they moved right next door to us. And they were next door to us in the condo company. And we, I mean, we were, we had talked to both of them, but we were just kind of beginning. It was not like we were, you know, instant best friends, but we liked each other.

Yeah. And they were like, we don't want to stay here if y'all want to be here. So they bought a house next to us in the neighborhood. And Mike and Malia now are very special to us. Malia is, she has done everything in her life. I say, when I grow up, I want to be like you, Malia. but she's just she's a genuine person

and she loves us and so does her family but you know whenever you meet somebody you never know what their struggle is because everybody has one and so when you get to talking to somebody you learn what their struggle is

sometimes you've been through that struggle sometimes you haven't but I think as Christians God always gives us the answer no matter if you've been through it or not. He always gives you the answer to tell someone as to, you know, maybe not how to fix it, but how to overcome it and how to rise above it. And so that's kind of what you and I have been doing as far as the having people in and, you know, our first time that we

had a couple in, we had two couples in and, you know, halfway through our meal, one of them, you know, just started crying, you know, sharing stuff about, you know, things going on. So she, what got me was she felt safe enough. The first time we had her in our home to share with us some of the really tough stuff she's been doing with this last year. And I thought, man, what a what a humbling thing that someone's willing to share something that deep, you know, even though we'd known them and talked to them around the neighborhood, we'd never really had a deep conversation.

And the minute we went there, she felt safe enough. And she said, we, and our husband was there, we haven't told anybody this, not even our families. Here's some of the things we've been struggling with. So I felt like that was a humbling opportunity. And I thought, you know, God has us here for that purpose. Like you said, I mean, it's a time of difficulty because it's hard to be apart when we're apart, you know. But then at the same time, I can do so much, you know, with the time that you have together. I had one thing that, Jason and I both spoke separately at a little church in Austin when we were there.

Oh, that was fun. Yeah, I forgot about that. One of the things that I said, you know, sometimes you have your speech prepared or, you know, we kind of ad lib a lot when we speak. But one thing I said, and I heard myself say it and had to say it again, was I said, sometimes I said the reason that I'm here may not be the reason that I'm supposed to be here. And I was like, let me, let me think about that again. The reason that I'm here may not be the reason that I was supposed to be here because the reason we came was different. from I feel like the reason that God used me and the way that God used me. So we might have our will and our desire and our plan, but then let's be open and make sure

that God is leading us the whole way because he will most likely have something way bigger in mind for us. And that's what happened with us in Austin. Well, it's like when Missy said that about not having any notes or anything written on a paper, you're in your house. It's not maybe a Monday night or a Wednesday night or. Well, I do the same thing in my speeches because I, I've always been kind of shy about speaking, which I was confident when I went to the school.

They helped me with confidence. But I don't use notes because I view it the same way she does is I'm just trying to introduce the Lord. And when y'all were talking, you know, y'all's speech is incredible when y'all do a marriage seminar or whatever because you're vulnerable and open. And I think that's why people do show up at your house and just start, you know, unveiling all these secrets. but it reminds me that Colossian 3 at the end he talked about at the first he starts talking about set your mind on things above

where the Lord is and he gets to the end he talks about all the relationships how husbands and wives and children and parents and social classes and then he's like whatever you do you work at it with all your heart as to the Lord not for men and really that's what we're trying

to do I mean when you think about our show our little duck show that came out people were they thought they were drawn to us because we were having fun and doing all these crazy things. But it was really to the Lord in us on how we get along. And that's when they hear us speak. That's what we do. And we're doing the same thing, maybe with our new show, which Missy's going to be a part of today.

Are you nervous about that? No. Okay. Which is kind of interesting, Missy, because I didn't know that you and Jessica were going to be like do anything with. it. We didn't either. I think this is evolving because I didn't know about it either. But so, but it's, but it's, I want to get your take on it because really you are the reason that Jay Steven had into Treasure up because if you hadn't a, if you had a,

am I, am I supposed to take this responsibility? I'm not ready for this responsibility. Babe, you made a, which I told you about posting things on social media. Wait, wait, what are you all attributing this to? That was, this all got started over that one post. I was down in the yard, and you didn't say, hey, babe, I'm fixed to take a picture of you in a vulnerable position. Oh, the one where you're digging in the front yard at the plantation, that one?

Yeah. Well, that was my point was that you wanted to do, to redo the plantation and y'all bought it into a bed and breakfast. But if you hadn't had that desire, you wouldn't have opened up the opportunity for him to ever get into treasure because that's really what started, right? You thought I'm going to be out here. And I don't want to be doing bad and breakfast. So I need something to do.

Well, I got out there and she was like, there's an old house out here in log town where no one lives anymore. That's true. No, it's not a town anymore. It's literally surrounded by fields. 200 years ago. And this old place is out there. Mrs. Like, because she likes to take old rough-looking things and refine it, which is why she married me.

I knew that was happening. I could smell that one. You still got some work to do that. do there. I guess this is a lifelong project. She's just in denial about her gold digger tendencies. Oh, gosh. And now she's got you digging for gold.

Yeah. He's the gold digger, really. She's out there, and I'm out there with a hole dug, and I'm looking. When she was driving by on her way out, and she took a picture of me and put on social media, he's always hunting something. Well, that's true. It was true. It was genius.

And that one picture launched where now this has become real. There are cameras back in the yard. Here, let's go find something. But every time camera crew show up, they can't help it. Because they look over there and they're like, oh, that's your wife. Like you didn't know it. But they just can't help it. They got to dig into.

How did this happen? It's a miracle. She's a gold digger or whatever. And then they want to interview. and say, well, how did Jace get started in this? They can't help it. They just got to pick it. They're going to keep going.

Let's take another great. So Missy may have been the initiator, but then Unashamed Nation is now the ones that, because we asked, Jay's asked him, he was like, do we do this or not? Because if you say no, if you say this is a bad idea, we're not doing. Well, I mean, think about it. Do you want to follow somebody around and watch them be, be, beep, beep, be. I mean, how interesting is that? So I was like, I mean, a show about that?

I don't know about that. But they do. I get it. They've followed around me for four days, literally. Look, here's the reason. They're not falling around you because you're beeping machine. They're falling around you because you're enigmatic on TV. Just like you are here.

It's the same thing. Look at that. What did you just call me? Indigmatic. I know what it means. Let's let Jason go to Google. You shiggle it. I mean, if you want to call me a name,

wait until we get home. Depending on the definition. Look it up, babe. I would agree. He's difficult to interpret or understand mysterious. There you go. They want to try to figure you out. They still do not have you figured out.

He took the money with an inignotic smile. There you go. Hey, you're so mysterious. They've been trying to figure out Jason's dynasty. They want to figure it out. So with Jeff, I think, I think. think it's going to be great because I told actually that one of the producers I said, this is gold because Jace, you never know what you're going to get.

Jep is laid back, but super funny. Jepp is super funny. I have to admit, those four days of filming, Jeff did a lot of really stuff that made me laugh. And I thought it was just because I hadn't seen him in a while. Well, as a brother, you know, and we're all close in different ways. We all have different relationships with each other. But, I mean, that was actually one of my favorite aspects of the idea of the show was because Jason, Jeff, have gotten close over doing this together. Yeah.

Because they never were that close. Well, I got him involved. I'm close to Jeff because I'm like an uncle almost, like a dad, because, you know, we've helped them and worked with them and stuff like that. Well, I got Drew into this because of Murray, who has become one of my best friends, but he was going through cancer and he was a metal detector and I knew nothing about it. and he taught me everything I know, but I was trying to help a friend out because he was like, that's the only thing keeping me alive.

He actually said that. Then he's like, can I come hunt your yard? What am I going to say? He just said it was the only thing keeping him alive. He's pretty smart. No, I hope you die. Yeah.

I was like, boy, that's quite a line there, Murray. Yeah, come on over and find this old junk in my yard. But then he started finding cool stuff. And the more, look, I, I, I, I, I went to the Bible and studied how many times it talks about God comparing, finding us as lost. And the reason Jesus hung out with the riffraff, and there's so much about treasure and where your heart is, there your treasure will be also. And I just, I thought, you know what?

I mean, this may sound coy, but I thought if there's that much in there about the Bible and how it relates, I'm going to go give this a try. But, you know, like, that's an analogy because, you know, God and Jesus are using those stories as an analogy to what the real treasure is. And so that's why when we started talking about how to do this, I was like, it's got to be, you know, for a better, lack of a better word, deeper than just finding the treasure in the ground. Like, let's find out, like, the treasure is there because somebody made it for a certain purpose hundreds of years ago or whatever. And then let's see, what does the people, what were they doing during that time and how were. they living? What were the relationships like and what was going on here? And then to maybe be able to flush that out a little bit and try to get those relationships to be honored and that time and history to be honored for the good without ignoring the bad because there's some bad history

we all know. But what's the way that we can do that? And I love that. That's why I love the place that we bought because it was built in 1847 by hand. So you're digging in the yard and I'm looking at the hand sawn boards and everything that's going on inside the house because I think those are beautiful and I want to see like what was going on here. I would love to know what was going on here. What was the family doing? And so I think that both of those aspects on a show are going to be amazing. Well, and I was very encouraging to Jason about it because one of the things the struggles was and Zach and I talked a lot about it was, you know, people are trying to erase history now. We don't want to talk about history.

But I was just the opposite. So we need a show. We need to make, let's make history great again, you know? I mean, let's talk about it honestly and openly, but let's not try to destroy our past. Yeah. That's how we're going to use the bad things in the past because we've already found some things that you're like, oh, what do you say about that? You know, I found a bullet, you know, from the Civil War. And I just said, because honestly, when I see that, my first thought is, I believe all people are valuable.

It's a reminder to me to look at things through a spiritual lens. What's crazy about this is while we were talking, Jep just sent me this picture because I guess they're filming out at our house. Are they? He said, hey, I just found this in your yard. So I'm not sure what that is. It's like a finial or something from bedpost. Yeah, it was like some piece of front hole. And I don't know how.

I could have missed that because I've hunted my yard a hundred times. Well, he's there. A little change in the earth. You never know what happened. A little rain, little. That's pretty awesome, though. Because you know, that's probably handmade. Well, it makes me mad because I thought I was expert.

And Jep, look, has become known as. Here's another element of the show. The old green-eyed monsters come up. I want to tell you this. I mean, Jelp has become the newbie of the show. And look, not by design. He just, because wherever he goes, he finds junk and nothing of value. so I'm shocked that he's actually found something that's cool.

One man's junk, another man's treasure. That's exactly right. We've got to see that in interview. That's right. Let's take our last break. So in this last segment, there's a couple things I wanted to talk about. One is you guys are going to be, Jay's mentioned, you guys are going to be grandparents. Which is super excited.

Who thinks to talk about that? Oh, yeah. I love to talk about that. They are the grandest things that you. you will ever have. Grandkids are the grandest. I'm excited about that. It's just,

it's a little weird to deal with being old. No, you just embrace it. This is what I'm looking forward to in growing old, is having the grandkids, for sure. So our oldest granddaughter is here. She's, Carly is watching today and she's 15. And so I had to tell you, the first one, this will be your oldest, will pretty much set

the pace for everybody going forward. Because they get that first, depending on how many years they're in between them, they'll call you the first thing. And so have y'all thought about, have you thought about what you want to be called? Because I think it's, you know, it may not happen. Well, you had a few suggestions.

Like, I would, what? Call me rock. Rock. I'll be a rock. Papa rock. No, just rock. As in dumb ass. Alan.

Gosh. I thought I was the only one that said stuff like that. Why, man, just someone where did that go from a rock? Hey, you know, no, look, this is not going to work if you asked my...

Carly's rolling over here. If you asked my opinion what I want to be called, I gave it. And then you just destroy, I'm saying, what do you want to be called? That was the first thing in the part of my own. Like the rock.

Like the rock. There's already, the rock has the rock. I'm just rock. So what is your name, would you be roll? What do you want? Yeah.

What do you? Well, do you want to hear my ex-paren't. Hey, here's my grandparents. Rock and roll. Will you let my... I think that's awesome. That's pretty good. Rock and roll.

It used to be saying... I was saying that the kid will need some kind of sustainability in their life, and I'm offering to try to be a rock to this kid. I think that they'll be laughed at at school. I don't think that that is very... What are you talking about? They're only... My granddad rock.

You have a granddad? You have a rock for a granddad. dad? Yes. He's so solid. He's, that's it. Oh God.

Oh, God. I didn't know this is going to be such a shot for you, but there you go. All right. So what did you have in my business? I mean, I didn't have anything in mind. I'm sure you weren't thinking.

Rock. Maybe I should be really prepared for this because I don't like the way this is going. Read and Brighton, they're like, we don't know. We don't know. What do you want to be called?

So I don't, I don't know. I suggest rock until I had a better idea. Well, you can be wrong. I like that. Why don't we ask the unashamed nation what they think. We need your suggestions. So look, I'll be honest. I don't think Mamaw and Pepol are going to fly.

So what do your kids call? Oh, that's what Charitlamat you want a version of that? Yeah, everybody does that. What? Jace wants to be unique is what he's saying. I want to be unique because I don't want to be in a restaurant or somebody and they say, Mamma and like eight women turn around. Neither do I.

If they say it right, you're the only one. What are y'all called? What are y'all called? We're ma'am and pap. Ma'am? Ma'am. That's right. Ma'am and Pat.

And I don't know that we didn't come up. Did we come up with that? That came from Swiss family Robinson. Oh. Really? Mm-hmm. Who is that? It was a show.

Don't ask about any kind of wholesome town on TV. He doesn't know anything about anything about that. Gracie. You're not that much younger than that. Are you implying that I only watched unwholesome shows? No, but that's all that was on back then. You didn't watch TV at all. So don't bring up all of that.

Don't bring up a wholesome show. He knows nothing about that. He only watches trash. I didn't watch anything. If it didn't come from Josie Wales or one of those is what she did. I don't know. We only had three channels. So what do they call your parents?

Well, I'm just going to say one comment about your name because I worked at the woman's clinic for 12 years and I don't think I could affectionately call anyone And pat. As long as you leave the smear off, we're all good. Here's what you should have done. When they called you, ma'am, they should just call you, sir. Oh, yeah. Mam and sir.

That's respectful. Yes, ma'am, yes, sir. Rock, roll. It's not that bad. Ma'am and Mr. Ma'am and Mr. So what do they cut, what do your kids call your parents? Me, me and Poppy.

Me and Poppy. Okay, there's a poppy. And is Mammo Kay and Papal Field. I'm okay, Papua? Yes, you did. Oh, good Lord. Hopefully you knew that. Good, nice.

Your kids are grown. I'm not a big name. Let's come up with, give everybody a name. Is this what people do? Yes, otherwise they're going to call you Jace. You asked,

they gave you mine. I'm sticking to it. All right, so Unashamed Nation. What about rock and pearl? Love it. Rock and Pearl. I like that.

She's a pearl and you're a rock. Yeah, that's kind of treasury. And a metal detective. Metal Detachment. They've embraced this time of your life. So it's Al at RestorationProductions.net. Send me your suggestion. Oh, boy.

I can't wait to see. We also still need a name for the show. And Missy said, quit worrying about it. People will come up with it. And we got a lot of names that were very creative, interesting, but they were. They looked into them. They were either copyrighted or they didn't like them. They don't like, if they say it's too on the nose, like they don't like that.

Like it's catchy or whatever. I tried last podcast because I thought that name I came up with, was awesome, but no one likes it but me. What was that? Oh, no. No, no. No, yeah, no. No, that's not.

That's not. Dirt bags meet rock, you know. Well, I thought it should be a depiction of us. You're a dirt bag? That's what Dad said. That said the exact same thing. Because before I came to Jesus, I'm technically a dirt bag. Since I learned metal detecting from Jesus, I'm like, he turns the dirt bag into a new

creation. Also, a second meaning to that is we dig in the dirt and we're looking for bags of gold. This is the subtitle under the show what he just said. Yeah, so, so much for the catchy title. It's like an essay. And I want people of the world who are not believers to watch. So I think they would be more willing to watch something called dirt bag than Holy Rollers. Well, who said naming it Holy Rollers? I'm just using it for an illustration. And rollers. Yeah. We're out of time. That went by fast.

That was fun. It's always good to have the ladies on. I was saying this with Mom and Anne Amarone. Our female audience is really growing because I get, I'm getting about as many emails now from ladies as I am from men. So we appreciate you guys. And I know you really like it when you hear the women's perspective, says, since we tell all the stories.

We got to come back on and talk about our book. We are. We're going to do that. They have a new book coming out. So I'm excited about that. So next time, ladies' day, we'll talk about Sister Roar. Well, we may write a book about being grandparents when that happens. We're going to call it rock and roll.

Oh, God. There we go. All right, guys. We hope you enjoyed that episode of Unashamed right here in the Duck Call Room. Yeah, man, that was a lot of fun. We thank y'all for tuning in. You could be tuning into anything you wanted to on Thanksgiving, but you chose to tune in to us tonight.

This is really cool. So we are thankful for each and every one of them. you, aren't we side? Yep. Thanksgiving rules. Thanksgiving is awesome. So if you're laying there trying to, you know, figure out, do I unbutton my pants or do I just go to bed and be miserable, I don't care which one you do.

I'm just glad that you had a happy Thanksgiving. Thankful that you chose to spend some of your time with us. And Johnny D. Send us out of here, buddy. I saved one pair of pants from my big boy days just for today. Whoa. Thanksgiving, y'all. No, I'm just kidding.

But when I think of treasures, I think of Matthew 619, do not store up. yourself treasures on earth where people lose them, drop them in ditches and jace goes and finds. No, where moss and vermin destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourself treasures in heaven where thieves cannot break in and steal for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Amen, buddy. Happy Thanksgiving again, y'all. Thank you all so much. The cowboy's already lost. How will your heart, please. We'll see y'all next time right here in the duck call room. We're out.
