Sigh is here, but our special guest. We have a guest that the world's been asking for it. Oh, there's a first hint. They've been asking for, since when to Doug Dynasty premiere? 11. 12, yeah, 11, 12, yeah. A long time. 11 years ago. For a decade, people have been wondering about this person.

That's absolutely right. I mean, she's kind of like the Bigfoot of Duck Commander. And the fact that she's a legend. It's a mystery. That nobody has seen, but everybody's heard of. That's right. And everybody's got a lot of questions when they meet her. So without further ado, we're going to introduce you to the woman behind the man,

Christine Robertson, Sigh's wife, as you know her on this program affectionately as that mean redhead, is here with us today. Welcome, Miss Christine. And hey, what was the saying? Was it behind every great man there's a good woman or is the other way around it? I think it's that behind every good man, there's a good man. there's a great woman. A great woman.

and look and we talk about this all the time Jesus is the answer to all the human race's problems and the answer to a wordal and unfortunately we're not smart enough to do it to use him as the answer

okay and then no what bat no I know he's sitting there don't Miss Christine just saw his bell for the first time I may or may not ring it.

Oh, I forgot. You threw away his bells. Oh, yes. I told you you should have had her sit where J.D. is sitting. We had to sit. I was. This woman is known to have red hair and in mean. But let me get back to my other fan that we didn't meet to.

Okay. The other fan is a, let's see here, boys, is Drake Jarrett. Okay. And he's a freshman at Apple Valley High School. And he's into, what is it, FF8? Yep. Former, future Farmers of America? Yes.

Okay, and he's got a pig, and what is the pig name? I hope it's sigh. Please be sire. Nope, ain't sire. Is he sending us the pig? Oh, yeah, and my pig is a Hapster pig name. What is that, daughter, Chick or Sherry or something like that? Chick-Sherian.

This is fantastic. No, no. For y'all listening that's not watching on YouTube, Christine's having the ciphers. Phil's the English major, okay, because English is, you know, that's not my strong point. You're better at Spanish? Chick-Sherian. C-H-I-C-H-A-R-R-O-N. Cheecherone.

Checheron. That's a pork skin. That's what our Mexican friends call pork rind. Well, okay. But anyway. Chicheron. Drake, Jarrett, and his pig, chick. Yeah, there you go, Chick.

That's what you should want with. Thank you fans for all this. Okay, I appreciate it. A t-shirt and everything else. I love it. And maybe one of these days there, Drake, I will meet you in Chick. I hope so. Okay, here we go.

All right. That's out of the way. Now that the formalities are over. Thank you fans for all the things. But now for the burning questions. that everyone has Start Like you'd stick one

I mean I saw you literally get panic in your eyes When you just saw that he had a bell Oh please Let me get it that way Okay I won't rank it in more If he has anything near him

That makes noise He'll do it Now that he doesn't have any bells Because I got rid of all them His plate and his fork when he's finished eating bang bang bang he's bad about you know

until I come and take it away from him which is what he really wants in the first place he doesn't have to get up and take it to the kitchen my mother used to when dad was at the table

he'd have a glass of tea and when he was low he would rattle that eyes not say a word not say a word she'd jump up and go get and fill it up

And then she said, if you did that one more time, I'm going to knock you out. That's why my grandpa was. He just rattled that cup. Here come, my mom, with a glass of tea. Oh, yeah. And the pitcher of tea was right behind his shoulder. I could touch it. I told him, never, ever, ever do that to me.

And I did it all the time. Did not. So is this noise making, y'all been married 51 years? Is this noise making, is that new? No. So it's been the whole time. Oh, yes. For 51 years.

51 years. You've got to admit. Okay. Uh-oh. The best thing that ever happened to you is when you said yes to me after 14 hours of grueling. Begging. Begging to get you to marry me. Pleading.

That's right. She's smiling. She hadn't admitted it. They tried to throw me out of a restaurant because we'd went out. Okay. And it's like, what, 2 a.m. the first time they started it and told me, hey, we would like the clothes. We're done, you know. And I said, hey, look, it's important.

Don't bother me right now. So I think that's why she finally just said, yes, I'll marry, you idiot. So is that an accurate story? That's not an accurate story? Part of it is. The fact that you said yes. That's the part that's true. And that's the best things you've ever done in her life.

The 14 hours and the 2 a.m. not true. Okay. Oh, it was too. We didn't leave her until about 3.30. The people were begging to, hey, let me close the stupid restaurant. I love this. We have a truth-sayer in this. This is fantastic.

So what actually happened? That was what happened. Sir, I'm asking Ms. Christine. Yeah, you'll get your chance. Okay. In case you've had your chance. Later, okay. Yeah, you'll get a chance to rebutter.

I get off work at 5 o'clock. So we meet, he meets there. We go to this restaurant, which is upstairs. And it's an Italian restaurant that we've gone to lots of times. and it had a jukebox on each booth. What song did you play, Sigh? Oh, I had no idea.

Oh. He didn't play any of them. He's too cheap, wouldn't it? I didn't have no money. For some reason, every song I played had to do with saying goodbye. Oh, you was trying to drop him hint. And leaving. Oh.

Yeah. I'm out the door. I mean, I had told him because he'd asked before, And I said, oh, no way. Good thing you's hard to hear, and, Seth. Hey, Zach Brown, I wrote a song about that. She's got leaving in her eyes. And then he goes on about, you know, he can't leave me there behind.

I said, you go back to Louisiana. And after six months, if you still feel the same way, then I'll come. because I figured once he got home, that'd be it. Only he wasn't willing to leave me behind. He packed you up and brought you with him. He packed you up. Brought me with him. He certainly did.

In the spirit of the relationship, I need to verify another story he tells often. Your first wedding band, was it in fact a cigar rapper? No. Sigh, what have you been telling all these people? That's the truth. I took a cigar ban off a cigar, and that's what she put on her finger when I said, I do.

And it said, it's a boy. No. No? It was just a congratulations cigar. It said probably like Cohiba or something. Oh, I don't know what kind of what. We went to the judge first because Massachusetts had a five-day waiting period. And I told him I ain't waiting.

Blood tests to the marriage. And so he waived it because. he was a veteran and getting out. I told him I wasn't waiting. Hey, that's good. So they wavered all that. So wait a five days. So after that, we go to the courthouse to get the license.

After that, we go to the jury store and pick out a wedding band because $16. $16. Hey. Back then. I feel like you've been lying to me a lot. Hey, look, all this is new to me. Okay. It is new.

I didn't buy an old $16 ring. Now, I did, after Duck Dynasty hit, I did borrow a big diamond ring. We don't need to talk about that price. All right, that's it. But, all I'm just saying. I know that one.

I'm aware of that one. Yeah. No, he is. So all this is new to me. Okay. Because my view of it for all the, but see, that's the same. That's why they tell you,

our witnesses are no good. But you were there. Well, I'm just saying, that's why they say. I witnesses, cops will tell you. I witnesses are not to be trusted. It's your story, your life, and you were there. As I saw it, okay, I put a cigar ban on her finger and said, I do. Now she's telling me I bought her a $16 cheap, $16 ring.

Oh, yeah, that's cheap. That's much cheaper than a cigar ban. I don't know which one of these I'd rather be on the side of. This was 50 plus years ago. $16 a lot of money back then. That was high. I'm telling you, especially you ain't got none. I thought you didn't do it.

I didn't get paid until after I got out, you know, I got, you know, was out of the Army. This is fantastic. This is fantastic. But we're O for two on a store. I'm nervous about what we're all about. Yeah, I think I'm going to stop asking questions. Do you have a cat named Sweet Pea? Yes.

No, no, that's confirmed. I can confirm. I was nervous. That's right. No, no. Well, let's take our first little break. Let's relax. Let's try to figure out, I don't want to ruin.

unsy's reputation so i'm not going to ask for the truth on a lot of more things now we'll be back right after this more 51 years of marriage to sigh robertson after this all right look springtime is here it's warming up you know what that means that means more outside cooking and and y'all know we love to eat beef around here and that's what because of our friends over at tryattels beef makes such a good product ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robertson would say buy on the grill Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from. But with Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.

Tritails comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch. So they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need. Look, because I tell you what, when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living,

you can taste the difference. The tenderness and the flavor are fantastic. So if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season, go check out Tritale's beef. I know in size case Christine loves it, which is just a, she doesn't eat meat. She isn't a big meat, folks. Yeah. Just go to Tribalienable. beef.com slash that's try beef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.

When I told him last night I was going to come, he said, and you'll get to tell it how it is. You get to set the record. That's right. You'll give your version. See. That's right. That's right. Oh, this is so good.

But see, you say the whole thing about 95% is true. So that 5% you've really. Well, now, that's when I'm telling a story. when I'm telling my life, okay, that's true. That's your story. Well, hey, that's the truth. No. Hey, you didn't, hey, I wish we would have had, you know,

you would have had the camera on me when you said, no, he bought me a $16 ring to put on my finger. I was going. I saw it. I wasn't there. We did have the camera on you. I wasn't there. Yeah, you'll be able to watch this on YouTube.

Well, hey, I wasn't there because I don't remember that. version. Oh my goodness. The only version I remember, but hey, let me ask you this. In all truthfulness. Look at that grin on his face.

That was the joker in the deck, baby. Cody snapped his fingers and he said, I know just the guy, and I'm thinking, oh, no, no, no.

We just passed him. So what he wanted was a home-cooked meal That I had to cook We'll get to that in a minute How about that look on his face? Then I go to pick him up And he's walking in the parking lot

And I'm saying, not this guy Not this guy This can't be him This cannot be him Because He is stuck on himself I had the best time that night I will have to admit

All right. I cooked those, no problem with that. Okay. Then he wants rice. Yeah. Robert ginger rice eater. I never had cooked rice in my life. In fact, I don't even eat it.

And I have a good reason for that. So he had to fix the rice. Then I go to. to make the gravy. Well, Kentucky does gravy with milk, not Louisiana guys. Oh, so he was wanting brown gravy. You was going to make white gravy. Yep.

No good. So I cooked the pork chops and the biscuits. I got to disagree white gravy fire. I like all gravy. I do, too. Sorry. No, why it ain't? So that was.

Our first date was, though, we went to the Christmas party at his company. The Christmas party? Mm-hmm. At Christmas party is a big commitment. That means I really like that. No, no. I should have knew right then I was in trouble. In trouble?

Yeah. Okay. Because everybody, you know, I introduced her, okay? And they didn't call her Christine. What'd they call? It was Mrs. Robertson. Oh, so you were set up from the rip. On the first date, they called her message.

No, no, no. I'm shaking her head. No, no, I'm serious. I should have knew, hey, you better get away. Not after 52 years. Right. That's it. I love it.

What date did we meet on? Uh-oh. Good question. Hey, you're asking too much stuff that's way, way back there. It was the 12th of December, 1969. It was what? 12th of December, 1969. Well, like I said, that's too long.

That's way back there. Okay. That was a good year. It was. It was. I left NOM at year. Yep. I met him right after he came back.

That was when... Was that Jacket. No, no. Well, yeah. Well, I shouldn't... No, I ain't gonna say that. What? Oh, I was good.

Yeah, go ahead and say. It'd be fine. Might as well, hey, look, that was... Narn was for I went to the dark sides. Oh, well, yeah. Yeah, we all knew that. You've been pretty up-front and honest about that. But...

came back to the light. That's all that matters. We've all forayed into that dark at some point. You sort of put away that beer a lot. Well, hey, even more than that, the whiskey. Yeah. Well, it happens. Hey, what y'all went through over there, though?

It'd be hard to not go into that. So, you know, my hat's off to you for being as normal as you are today. Well, no, look, in my defense, hey, look, I tried normal for 10 minutes one time, and I, like, drove me crazy. I drove him crazy. It drove me crazy, so I went back to pay. No. I think what, and we still have a long way to go in this episode,

but I think for the rest of my days on this earth, I'm going to hear Christine say it was that strut. I think that one's going to live with me for a while. She said, no, it wasn't a jacket. It was that strut. The man was strutting in a dragon jacket with dimples, 6'3, feeling himself. And she said, no, he's full of himself. I'm talking about feeling. Good. And then he made her laugh. Okay. Oh, no, no, no. And look, hey, people are always saying that

God has not got a sense of humor. Oh, yeah, he does. Oh, 100%. Because the way, okay, it's, it's April Fool's Day. Okay. And I come to pick her up where she's working and what was your best friend? Angie. Angie. Angie, her breast friend. Okay. So I come to go. And she's a best friend. Okay. So I come in, it's April Food Day, you know. So I said, hey, Angie, guess what happened? And she said, what? I said, me and Christine are going to get married. You know, she's just cloud down, running around, telling her baby, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, wow, and then I laughed and I said.

Marriage had never. Apple Food's Day. You can't joke about that. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's why I said, I should have, this should, this was set up from the get-go. Oh, not by me. Okay. because, well, yeah, but it was by him.

Yeah. Okay. You tried to duck out of it, okay? I did. I think she may still be. Oh, no. But anyway, Angie looked at me. She said, oh, God's going to get you for this. So seven days later, I'll have to come tell her for real.

I said, hey, guess what? She's what? I said, we're getting married tonight. you and your husband want to be the best man. Phil, Phil and Angel. And they said, we'd love it. Oh, my God.

This is so good. I hate we have to take another break. We'll be back right after. I want to talk to Phil and Angie. All right, so look, it's been well versed. We got Christine here now. Christine, so I always said one of the reasons you were hesitant about marrying him

because you were supposed to have trouble having kids, and he was great with kids. So is that part of, was that part of the holdup? Yeah, because I was sterile. Yeah. She had been told by the expert doctors, okay, you know, by a few of them. Yeah. Okay.

That she'd never have a child over her own. Well, spoiler alert, you got two. Yeah. When Fort Knox, when he went up to Fort Knox, before I joined him, he already had an appointment for me at the fertility clinic. So the first thing that we want to do is, of course, check him. And I said, but there's no reason. So there's this thing with males that, especially boys, if they wear briefs that are too tight,

it kills the sperm. And that's what had happened to him. So they put him in boxer shorts. Yes. He's bouncing all around. That's why he's back on that Tommy John bag. He came out of the bathroom. How the shower was doing that.

That's the first day I'm doing that now. Blip-ping. So then. She's on the floor. I am. I'm just dying. I am too thinking about what you just. Oh, no, no.

Hey, look. You know, you have to, okay. Look, you know. So you just come out, you come out boxing. Oh, yes. I said, I don't know if it's going to work or not, but hey, At least that, you know, I got pretty good left you have. He's a boxer's man, folks.

That's why. Out with a brief and on to the boxers. No, no, because that's why I'd said about our first child, Tracea. And then they did surgery because they found out I had scar tissue all in my ureis. So that was removed as much as they could. and I had one chance in a million, they said, even though with the surgery. So we said, okay, we were separated from August to November. No, see, May.

May to August. And then I joined him in Germany, August. Three months later, I'm sick. Uh-oh. I thought it was a flu. I'm not going to have a baby, so it's flu. Yeah, and our next-door neighbor, Sharon, okay, and Chuck, her husband. Made me.

They are our best friends that have got a daughter named Christine, okay, which lived at our house. We couldn't lock our doors because the first time we did it, she screamed bloody murder. But anyway, we're sitting at the table one night, and she cooked spaghetti, you know, and she's sitting there eating, and she's, oh, you know, goes up, goes the bathroom, throws up, comes back. Yeah. Tacos. You know, I'm saying. Was it tacos or spaghetti?

It was spaghetti. It was made in a sauce. We can all agree on that. We'll agree on that. Anyway, Sharon said, have you told him? And I said, tell me what, you know? She said, she's been having morning sickness. You know what I'm saying?

What? You know, I said, why didn't you tell me? She said, oh, I got the flu or a bug or something. And Sharon's saying, no, she's not. She's pregnant. So Sharon's been saying it all along, been telling her. And she keeps saying, hey, I don't tell you. All the experts have told me I'll never have a child of my own.

I said, yeah, but what did I tell you the night you finally said yes. I said, I know somebody. She said, sure you do. And I said, I'm telling you, if we're meant to have children, we'll have children. So this goes off for a couple of weeks, you know, this deal. You know, and then finally, Sharon just has always been, she's pregnant. You need to take her to the doctor. Well, I don't have a car.

Sharon and the truck's got a car, and I'd made a deal with them. It needed some work, and they didn't have any money to fix it. And I said, well, hey, take it and fix it, and I'll pay for it. And then if I need to borrow it, you know, let me borrow your car. So you've always been a horse trader. Oh, yeah. So we worked this out. You know, so look, Sharon's the one to find her, say, hey, come on, I'm going to take her.

Since you won't, I'm going to drive her to the doctor. So, hey, come back and tell her about, she said, I am pregnant. And I said, well, hey, there you go. One in a million. One in a million. One in a million. She said, that's not the way it happened. Tell your version, darling.

Okay. I bet we end at the same place. It ends at the same place. I've been known to take the long room. Yes, I know. Well, I got to embellish it a little bit. Yes. I got to shut my stuff, so to speak.

We had gone over to have dinner with Chuck and Sharon. I hit the front door, and right next to it is the bathroom. Smell those tacos and hit that bathroom. So the next day, Sharon took me, and at that time, we didn't have this early stuff and all that. They had to live a urine in a bottle, you know, in a cup, and they would call you the next day because it took 24 hours for the rabbit to die, so they said. And so. Why they had to kill a rabbit?

That's just a saying. Oh, just saying. The old people said. I don't say, poor rabbit? I know. Well She called that afternoon because I wouldn't I said Sharon there's no sense calling

It's going to be negative Yeah But Sharon called and pretended to be me And then I heard her saying What? What? Yes we're going to keep this baby And then Si and Chuck Pull into the parking lot

We're on the fourth floor Sharon Leans out the window and yells we're pregnant. So everybody in the neighborhood got it the same time he did. There goes a neighborhood. Yes.

Oh, no, no, no. That's the funniest part about it. We're best friends. Okay, so we're always in and out each other's house. Yes. Okay, and we was always, all four of us are crazy.

So we was always clowning around. Okay, so I go to work one day and they, as soon as they come in, first start, and says, you need to go see the full bird colonel reports to the colonel. And I'm going to E4 at the time. I said, what if I done that I got to go see the full bird colonel for? I said, top, what are you talking about?

He said, hey, it's all over the post. Go see the full word. So I go in there, had attention report, you know, specialist Robertson report and sir has ordered, you know. He said, sit down. young man, I said, what is the problem? You know, he said, you and your neighbor, y'all are wife swapping, and that's the problem. Oh, yeah.

I said, excuse me? He said, oh, yeah, it's all over the post. Because we was always kind of around. One night we was hanging out at each other's windows. You know, we're in our window there and we're talking, you know, and the conversation was something like, hey, you're in the mood tonight. Yeah, and, yeah, and, you know, and Chuck, Chuck, I mean, Sharon said, no. And Chuck, turn and Christine, said, what about you? She said, yeah, you know, and I said, well, I'll see you later, Sharon, you know.

So we was always doing this kind of crazy stuff, and, hey, they took it for real. He got called in the same morning and told him, hey, y'all are fixing to lose a strap over this wife-swapping deal. So, y'all done got written up for conduct unbecoming, so to speak. Oh, yeah. And then she ends up pregnant. Oh, no, no. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Yo, you're talking insane. Oh, I love it. Okay, because me and him both said, hey, look, I love my wife. My wife has just become pregnant, okay, when she's been told by thousands of doctors, she'll never have a child of her own. One in a million. Yeah.

So, hey, no. What y'all heard is just crazy people were best friends for crying out loud. We love each other. Don't joke on balconies. Yeah, don't joke on balconies in their neighborhood. Because, hey, then it's going to come back on you, big time. But talking about the kids, it goes even further because when Tracer was born, I had to have a C-section, which turned out to be a very good blessing because the scarring had grown back.

It's called Ashman's Syndrome. It had grown back and interwoven into the afterbirth. And if I'd had it normally, I probably killed her. I would have bled to death before they could have stopped it. So since I'd as a Syrian, they had it all open. They took as much as they could. So we asked the doctors to, well, what about another one? He said, look, if I had seen her before, I would have said, no way.

Because. He said, go for it. He said, go for it, but do it within two years. And here comes Scott. And here comes Scott. Oh, my gosh. What was funny. No, no, no.

They got this stupid rule. Only Ken can go in the hospital. That's back in effect now. Oh, no, no. So this is Sharon and Chuck. They drive their car behind the hospital. They know what room she's in. Sharon gets on top of the car, slivers through the window.

Okay. Came to see you? Oh, oh, no. Sharon and Chuck rule. Oh, no, no, no. Look, she was our best friend. Yeah, okay. She said, if they think I ain't getting a whole this baby one,

When she first sees it, they're crazy. So here comes. Go, Sherry. Oh, hey. Oh, yeah, she did. So, hey, you know, Chuck drives takes off of Sherry's and done and got in her room, they bring the baby, you know, okay. But that's, hey, that's good.

That's real friends. Oh, no, no. That's friends there. No, that ain't friends. That's family. Oh, no. They might as well been friends. They was.

They really was. That's awesome. Well, hey, there you go. One and a million. Let's take another break. We'll be back right after this. So you, Christine, you and Cy have lived all over the place. Sort of.

What's been your favorite stuff? Bavaria. Bavaria. She got lost. Her and Tracy got lost. Got lost in Germany? No, in Vavaria. Bavaria.

I go hunting every year in Vavaria to kill the roed deer, three of them. Okay. So, you know, I told her, I said, it's beautiful. Y'all need to go with me. Yeah. Okay. So we go down there and they say, well, we're going, me and the guy, the German guy that I'm hunting with,

going hunting. So they said, well, we may, we may, me and Tracea may walk and just, you know, enjoy the beauty. But you took Scott with you. Huh? You took Scott with you. Oh, he was there too. Right.

See, I don't remember this joke. And so was Dana. It's Dana. Well, good grief. Yeah, okay. Yeah, we had a party. Yeah, we had a party. Okay, but anyway, we come back from hunting.

It's dark. Well, the cabin's dark. Dark. Dark. Ain't nobody there. I'm telling what in the world. Did you leave Scott or what? No, no, no, no, you had Scott.

Oh. You all didn't go hunt. Okay, that's why he was. You went looking. Yeah, yeah, okay, so we start looking for them. They didn't walk by the thing four or five times, okay? They're lost. We didn't know that.

Yeah. So it takes us about, oh, two and a half. Five hours? Five hours. No, one hour, and don't remember this right. Anyway, okay, we finally find them. Everybody's safe, you know. But I didn't know Dana, Scott, and Tracer was there.

You was just in panic. Scott was with you. No, he wasn't until Scott started. Well, Scott, you know, he's got a wild imagination. Yes. Maybe they run upon somebody and they murdered them. You know. I wonder where he gets that wild.

Well, I look. Who knows? So far, Christine's debunked four out of five of your stories. Well, hey, that's why I told you. I wouldn't is this or not to be trusted. Maybe just you. Oh, I love it. This is so good.

So the German days. So what weird habits at the house does I have that nobody knows about? We know he eats like a gallon of black walnut ice cream. much every night. Well, no, he gets on where he does one thing. And he'll do that for a while. Then he'll get off that. So he's off the black walnut right now.

He's eating pecans. Pecanes. He's a pecan man. He's a pecan man. Any kind of nuts. Are there a lemon, true lemon packets all over your house? Yes. Hey, in the garbage can.

When you remember. There's two verses. one on this one buddy. Usually you just leave them. Crumpled up. Come on, man. I throw 90% of the time I throw them into garbage.

We've already learned that when you say 95% it don't mean anything. That's why I'll tell you, I want this reports are unreliable. Is he still working out? No. I need to start that. You need to get back on it.

We need you here and healthy. You're right. I do. Because we've got to have more of these episodes just like this because there's a lot of history we're just buzzing through it pretty quick we hitting the high points right here but some of this stuff I need to delve back into we haven't even gotten to like when because you told side to go back to Louisiana work for Phil right yes yeah and you that was after you said you would never coming back here I said that back in 1982 yeah

oh I'm not no no that's why and I we've told this story mm-hmm that's why I call my daughter when she said that. I come home Friday and she said, you know what you are to do? And I said, what? She said, you need to call your brother and tell him, you need to come work for him. We'll go back to Louisiana. I immediately got on the phone and called my daughter and told me, I thank you mom's dying of something. And she said, well, dad, what are you talking about? I sure she appreciated that. Yeah, you know? And I said, well, she just told me, hey, out of the blue, you know what you need to do? You need to go call your brother and we'll move down to Louisiana. And she said, you need to take her to the hospital right now and get her checked out.

So in 1982, you said, we ain't going back there. Wouldn't y'all move back here? 99? 99. 99? It took a while. October of 99. October of 99.

Because we retired in 93. I lived in Alabama for a while. Yeah. Working as a greenskeeper. working on a golf course and driving the superintendent of the golf course in Huntsville, Louisiana, nuts asking him, hey, can I hunt

and can I fish on the golf course? Because there was deer all over this thing and there was ducked all over it and there was fish all in the ponds. This was back in the time when the Department of Defense was drawing down. But it got a lot of people out of the military and then they started in on the

federal employees. Well, that was well and good, but the federal employees couldn't let the work go. So therefore, those who still worked worked six days a week, 10 hours a day, just to keep up. And I started having trouble with my blood pressure, and it continually got worse. so my mother had already passed so there was no reason to me to stay in Alabama to get closer to Kentucky so I told him we should go

he should go to fields and start working I had two stipulations that he did not listen to oh I'm interested in we haven't heard about the stipulation he's never told us there was still He just said you were excited about it. He's conveniently left this part out. Yes, he did.

That's a selective hearing. Yes, it is. Number one, I did not want to live next door to Phil. So he was supposed to find a place for us to live before I came. How did that work out? Which I didn't. The trailer. Trailer right next to Phil and Kaye.

Right next to Philling Kay. Yeah. Right next. Yeah, right next to the duck collar. shop. And then because I did not want to have the Robertsons all in my business, I did not want to go to church at White. Wifee Ferry Road? Yeah. So he was supposed to find a nice little church. So the good news is you came here, you moved to him with Phil and K and you went to WFR. Yeah. So that's cool. And that's how that's good news from me. Wasn't good news for her. He drives a hard bargain,

though, don't know. Yeah, I know. So in theory, Kristen, is responsible for Duck Dynasty. Yeah. And I'm pretty sure she... Because if Si never comes back, Duck Dynasty may happen. Yeah. But it ain't what it is. In theory, Christine's responsible for all this.

We're not murdering Sy in the first 10 years of their marriage. Yeah, that too. And for saying yes to that strut. And for... Which I don't know how long it took them to convince her. Because I've heard 14 hours and 3.30 in the morning, but that's been debunk. Well, he said 14 hours. and then she said give me six months.

That's awesome. And then the next thing she knows, here we are, 52 years later, with two kids, one in a million. And eight-grandson. Sire is the only man I know that hit one in a million three times in his life. One in a million on East Child, and then one in a million on Duck Dynasty. Because it is equivalent to winning the lottery.

Yes. But this, no, no, no, no. This is why I tell people when I'm out speaking. You need to look at this crazy old man. I am living proof that God the Father, his son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit are alive and well. Amen, brother.

And are doing the most amazing things with the most unlikely people, yours truly. Amen. He's been in, I read a book that actually asked a question about it. Are you aware of? of God working or in your life. I'm very aware of it. Yeah.

Your whole life has been. From my marriage to my kids to my grandkids, okay, his handprint is all over my life. I love it. Okay. It really is. That's why I tell people, hey, I'm living proof. He, them three are alive and will. Amen, buddy.

Well, let's take our last break. And we'll come back and we'll let Christine help us. It's nice to always have a female's perspective on some of our emails. So we'll be back right after this. Oh, that ought to be really cool. All right, we're back. We're back. Christine, one thing we do like to do, I don't know if you watch this or not.

None of our wives watch or listen to it. So I'm not surprised. She said, nope. I don't blame you. We talk enough at home, right? Yes. But we have an email address, hello at duckcallroom.com, where fans email us in. Some of them say nice things.

Some of them say not so nice things. A lot of them ask for advice and there's all kinds of things. But I've got one today from Instagram. I do check my direct messages on Instagram. It doesn't mean I respond to all of them, but I check every one of them. And I don't know this guy's name. He's not told me and I'm not going to ask, but it says, I'm 19 years old, grew up in church, and have always been a follower. I've been dating the same girl for three years, and we got married weekend before last. Two days ago, I get a text saying all my stuff is in the truck, and I needed to go home. No one will talk to me. They won't tell me what's going on. All I've been told is they're preparing divorce papers, and the marriage certificate hasn't even been turned in. As far as I know, nothing has happened that is worthy of divorce according to the Bible. And last time I saw her Tuesday morning before,

I left for work, everything was great. She is a very good Christian and knows the scriptures as good as you could ask, but her mom is calling all the shots. I'm out of answers, and their attorney has called me saying not to talk to them anymore. What can I do? I'm just looking for answers in this very confusing time. Sigh? Wow.

I know. Yeah, that's, uh... Yeah, I didn't know how to answer it either. I'll tell you my response. My response, the only answers I know that can be found in this are from the good Lord. I said, and then I also said, but if you don't mind, I'll ask the podcast on the podcast. And he said, no, absolutely. If y'all could, just pray for the situation.

I would appreciate it. So obviously we're going to lift you up. Here's one thing that I would look at, okay, and it may not even be available, okay? You need to go and talk to the lady you just married, okay, and find out, hey, is this your ideal or someone else is manipulating both of us? Yeah. Yeah, what happened? Yeah, because I left, I left to go to work, and then here I haven't been told by lawyers, you know. And if they had dated for like six months.

Yeah. And this is a three-year commitment job had that going on. And they've been married for two weeks? Two weeks. Yeah. weeks. This sounds like someone else is in his business to me.

Well, the fact that this happened via text message too. Yeah. Folks out at home, we've got a lot of young folks listening to this. Don't do it via text message. Yeah. Go have a man to be a face-to-face. Yeah. Yeah.

Don't be afraid to hurt somebody's feelings. Life is full of hurt feelings. You grow up and you get over it. But have the conversation. don't send a text say your stuff's in your truck get the heck out yeah because that's left this young man

okay yes he has no idea what's happening here no he's in a tailspin as we all would be especially at 19 yeah right yeah I mean especially since he's figured he's married to the woman he's going to spend the rest of his life with yeah a fifth of his life has been with this one woman

already yeah he's only 19 they've been together so long so like girl if that is a problem. Yes. Have the decency to call it. You don't even have to talk face to face, but call it. If you're scared, talk face to face, have a conversation. Text message ain't going to cut. Well, here's the thing. Okay. And I'll even go further on that. You need to have the decency Yes. To confront this young man. Okay. If you've got issues and you won't out of it, because you don't need to get divorced, get it annulled. Yeah. But at least have the decency to do it face

the face and look bring a witness with you both of you okay so it'll be on a a level playing field with no one getting hurt yeah okay but this needs to be up front face no parents no parents yeah agreed neutral third party if yeah neutral third party okay call the person that married you yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah odds are they're an ordained minister of some sort but all them but That would be where I would stop it. And then I will say this as far as us for concerned. We will say a prayer to the Almighty. Okay.

This is handle in a way that is beneficial to you and that young lady you're married to. Absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. Yeah, that's just a crazy deal to think about married for two weeks. Yeah. After dating for three years. You're told.

And then just poof. Yeah. Yeah, bam. Your stuff's in the truck. Come get it, get out of here. Yeah, that's a tough one. I don't, no, I mean. I don't even know what to.

That's why I had no words. Like, I couldn't respond. My only response was, you know, Jesus, bro. Yeah, I don't know. Like, that is, most of this stuff, we've had some experience or around or have been around people that have had it and, like, help buddies through it. But this one, I was like, this is kind of like Star Trek. This is going where no man's gone before. Yeah, for us.

I mean, I'm sure it happens, but for us personally, I had not any experience. And it's one of those, you know, that's like bizarre old biblical times. Paul's singing the Lord in print. Like, you got to, the answer is Jesus, and that is easy for us to sit here and say, like, hey, Jesus got you, but it sucks, right? It sucks. Oh, he's in a terrible spot. And we know that, but when we say the answer is Jesus, how easy that sounds,

and it's not easy to do. that is the answer. And you just got to wake up every day and try and put the pieces together as best you can. Let me reemphasize, okay. Get the third party thing. Okay. And go and face to face.

And then, you know, what happens after you discuss it face to face with a third party, neutral party? Yeah, is up to good Lord. Because this may be something you look back on in 10 years and you're extremely thankful for. I mean, for crying out loud, it took you somewhere between two and 15 hours

to convince Christine. We're not sure where that is, and she asked for six months. So, you know, and look at us now. And everything worked out. We're rolling steady towards 52 years. Everything worked out. So you never know what the plan is,

but, you know, it is, it's all a part of it. And, hey, man, we wish you the best. And we will be praying for you, my man. Absolutely. Christine, thank you so much. much for coming in. The world now. There is always a chair in this room

available for you. So you ever want to come back? I'll tell you what. I'm not going to invite you back. You tell us when you want to come back. Because you are always welcome to come opine about Silas Merritt Roberts. And tell us the truth about some things. Yeah.

Of course. Yeah. We know he exaggerates. A little. Just 5%. 5%. 5% boys. Well, you can't. spell exaggerate without s i yeah you can um so that one don't work um but thank you so much for having us we're going to let john david close it out we always close out with a bible verse so i'm assuming he got something in the spirit of you too yeah it is and and then the spirit of my man you know

what he needs to do even though he doesn't feel like doing it we have a great example of 51 years of marriage and that's an incredible feat and we've talked about it in here all the time uh how anyone could be married to sigh for 51 years so we're so proud of you miss christine but romans 1210 be devoted to one another in love honor one another above yourselves if you want to know how these two crazy kids made it they did that thank you so much for being here miss christian it's been awesome absolutely that's very good jd we'll see y'all next time right here in the duck car room we're out
