No, Rucker trying to become irregular. He ain't bucking the system. I'm just here, man. You know, people call me. They're like, hey, can you come by. I'm like, I'll push everything. What's that? Are you part of Celebrate Recovery?

Uh-huh. Yeah, he's got a little bit. He's a little ad in it. They got the uniform on. Yeah, he got the uniform on. I thought he was playing cop clothes there for a minute. Well, prior to being here, I had to meet with a couple of degenerates. Uh-oh.

You know, is... Do they rent from you? You try to have some identifying things that separate you from them. Now you get to talk to three more degenerates. Your problem, Rucker, is you need clothing to help separate you from the degenerate look. No, I mean, that's the thing. Next time, can I recommend sleeves? No, I'm kidding.

There was a point in time when we seriously had a discussion on if I should cover my tattoo. We still ain't got that woman a bikini? No. Okay. It's part of the testimony, man. Is it? You got to, yeah. You have a tattoo of a bikini-clad lady?

Scandily clad. It ain't. Scandly? Scandly? That's a new word. Scandly. Is it not scandly? I'm from the proxed.

I think it's with a T. Scantily. Scantily. Yeah. I think it's with a T, not a D. But you are the guy that couldn't say plethora. Oh, yeah, yeah. That paraphala.

Perifera. But anyway, welcome back to the duck call room, ladies and gentlemen. but we're just, that feels kind of like 2014. We got the boss in here. We got sign. We got Rucker. So it's like the old day he's running around here, man. Maybe I ought to give a, you know, alert.

Okay. It ain't no telling what we're going to get into today, boys. Like an amber alert? Yeah. Hey. Wait, time out now. That's a little serious. That's a little on edge.

It's kind of a family podcast. Yeah. Let's not get too clear. food. Not in the first minute anyways. You know, but you never know what, you know. Well, boss, how's it been? Welcome back to the.

Am I playing the role of Johnny D. Today? You can yell as much as you want. Am I? You can jump up and down. You can yell. You can. I need my logoed out computer and the only,

maybe I should use my phone. Just awkwardly look at the cameras. Yeah. Yeah. And just laugh at sigh. Right. It's a gig. It works.

So he's not here. He's on vacation. He's in Disney. So I'm filling in. Technically, am I assisting him? I guess maybe the roles have reversed a little bit. Johnny D.

You're really a circle moment. Thank you. Thank you. You've been assisted. Well, since you said that, what have you been up to here lately? Just assisting Johnny D.

Yeah, but I mean, how's that going? Well, I just started. And today's first day. Oh, okay. I'm here. I do have my phone. I look up some facts.

I'm going to be interested to see how it pays. I don't think I can do Johnny D's fake laugh. He's got a great fake laugh. I've heard it a bunch. It's kind of like a yell, squeal, then he pushes stuff. Is it how y'all communicated on the road? A lot of fake laughing. A lot of fake laughing.

Hey, speaking of, I was just in Myrtle Beach. South Carolina, okay. South Carolina. I was speaking to a group. It was called Jubilee, and I thought it was religious, but it wasn't. It was a well-drigger. Well-drillers. Well-drillers.

Like water well-drillers. Yeah. Yeah. Lovely group. Yeah. That's something of my side. in charge when I was getting set up

I had Chad Krill with me and At least he saved some money Yeah That's it Oh squeaky So So She says

Oh I was hoping you would have brought Johnny D And I said oh did you know Have I worked with you before When he was my assistant? She said no I've heard him on the podcast Oh, Johnny D. He is podcast famous now.

Oh, man, he took pictures. So he's been keeping up with, or I've been keeping, I don't know. He just texts me all the time while he's on vacation. But he's been taking pictures at Disney with podcast fans. And he is now a Bucky celebrity. He's officially taking his first picture inside of Bucky. So Johnny D right now is really feeling himself. He's, he's.

But how did he learn how to become a celebrity? I may be from taking all the pictures of you through all the mirrors. You never know. Maybe being the guy who had to take the pictures of you everywhere. I was up here the other day working and he walks through that back door and it looked like that goddamn Brad Pitt walked in. I mean, he comes in, sung, like he is, dead gum, wash towel parish famous. Like, I'm like, look at this cat.

Yeah, he's coming into his own. No longer just looking at the ground, looking lost and confused. He came in like a little junior boss. He also picks up his feet now when he walks, which is a major, that's a major upgrade. Because that's how all he knew he was coming down the hall at the office. He lost all that way. Now he can move around. He's filling limber.

He's walking light. He's in Disney. Actually, I did send him a photo at the Myrtle Beach Airport. There is a sign that's called Johnny D. Waffles. So I sent him that, and he sent me a bunch of photos from his journey. From his journey. Johnny Dees' Waffles. Oh, man.

Yeah. Look, he missed out. He's reaching the next level. There you go. He really is. It's been. It's like Rucker. He's going to be like Rucker.

Remember when you became famous on Duck Dynasty? There was a brief moment in history where I was a... You were the man. Cool looking guy. Well, back to both. You're still cool looking guy. I try to look cool. It takes a lot more.

You sold me that bucket full of snow cone. That was awesome. Yeah, the BR 5,000. Yeah. Speaking of you and J.D., so you're working, celebrate recovery today pretty hard. John D. D. is always at the.

The honey hole. The H.H. Superstore. It's a deal with all this. Just free advertising. They get the word out. Well, I mean, hey, it's all. I'm just trying to help people with hurts, habits, and hangups, man.

At least yours is noble. Wow. I thought you were going to end that with hangovers. No, no, no, no. I didn't know it was hang up. We're trying to keep them from hangover. Well, I was like, say, you're never going to run short of that. What's that?

Harts habits and hangups. Yeah. Oh, we all got them. Everybody's got them. Everybody got them. Always a full house. Yeah. Oh, man.

A lot. Back to Mortal Beach. What did you talk to the drillers about? I just gave them some funny stories and told them a little bit about how Duck Commander came about. and how I started in business and then I ended with a little faith and yeah my regular your regular deal a little stick there that I do it was in an auditor it was actually it was weird it was

like a it was like a civic center type thing but then they were at the end so there's a big room yeah big room and oh you know what somebody said something oh okay so I'm at the Myrtle Beach Airport. Wow, this is a lot happened. So I stop at a chicken place called Chick-fil-A, okay? Pick-fil-A. That wasn't Sunday. So we, yeah, it was Monday.

There we go. The young lady looks at me and she says, oh, my gosh, you look just, and then she stopped. She goes, have you ever seen the show Duck Dynasty? And I said, I have heard of that show. and she says you look just like one of the guys from that show and Chad was really pouring around he goes which one which one does he look like? Yeah, which one?

She was like, I don't know. It's not the old one with the beard. It's like his son or something. Chad said, Willie? And she goes, that's his name. You look just like Willie. And I said, oh, that's cool. And then I place my order.

And then she says, what's the name on the order? and I said, Willie? Never said a word. Nothing. She just went, okay, we'll have it down for you. And then she never came back to it. And never come back? Never come back to it.

Oh, I was kind of hoping you were going to say Jace or something to just see her reaction. But she already didn't know. I think if Chad would have said, Jay, she probably would have said, that's it. Right, right, right. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, that's him. She was needing a little bit of help on the name. When I said the name on the order was Willie, she didn't, I mean, literally wasn't like,

Oh, that is nothing. And she obviously didn't look at your card when you paid or any third. You pay cash. Chad paid. There you. Technically, I paid, but Chad. But it was on Chad. Check.

Keep that receipt. Yeah. Yeah, keep that receipt and turn that in when we get back. That'll be fine. 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 Tritels beef makes such a good product, baby. Ain't it good? It's so good. Our friend, Sao Robertson would say,

buy on the grill! Look, before we got Tritels, getting ready for a cookout, man, somebody had to run the grocery store, do all the things, grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes to them. But with Tritels beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Tritels 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 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 eater, folks. Yeah. Just go to trybeef.com slash. That's tribeef.com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak. What is a Monday Chick-fil-A order for Billy? Oh, really? This is a good question.

Yeah, I mean, because I'm just sitting here thinking about the story. And I haven't had lunch yet. So now I'm just really curious. If it's like every other restaurant, well, Willie, it's one of everything. Somebody at this. Oh, heck, I'll give it somebody in the room. If someone in the room can guess what I ordered, I will give them $1,000. What meal time was it?

Hold on. He's talking money now. Are we? $1,000. $1,000. All right, all right. Can I ask some questions for context? No question.

No question. For $10, I'll let you ask 10 questions. And you still pull that rabbit right out of your hat. You want to get off. So for $990. I just want to know what time a day was. Is that fair? That's a fair one.

This would have been a. This early morning. This early morning. Oh, so lunchtime. Situation just off the flight or pre-flight? Pre-flight. Pre-flight. This is starting the day.

Okay. This is the start of the day. Now, you don't know what time I woke up. You don't know if I ate breakfast. Mm-hmm. before this one o'clock situation. Now, we'll tell you this is a little clue. Flight was slightly delayed.

Oh, so now you're stress eating. Okay, here we're. No, no. No, there's one thing. Yeah, I'm about to say. There's one thing, you know. You ain't got to worry about Willie. He don't stress eat.

I don't need to stress eat. He may stress sleep in like the Sky Club, but he ain't going to stress eat. No, I'm off that. Yeah. I'm a classic stress eat. Fill up the menu for. I've got the menu pulled up. Now he's a shiny thing.

Well, I was wondering, I couldn't remember what all was on there for, I just, man, I don't, I don't even know. I mean, one thing I feel like is a large unsweet tea. Oh, yeah. Since it was one. You all had to put in your gas, so you don't. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm just keep it simple. I'm not letting the third one get off of two correct. It's so weird.

I mean, I'm just going to go the most off-the-wall, Willie thing ever. a large grilled nugget, a fruit cup, and an unsweet tea. All right. That's your guess. Random. I mean, it's just so random. I don't know. Is he saying it?

Recovery, let's hear with you. I think, let's just go classic. Give me a Chick-fil-A sandwich. Throw some cheese on it and some fries. You sound like you're ordering it. Yeah. It sounds like you're guessing a game. You sound like you're at the drive-thru.

Well, I mean, hey, you know, you know, you're, You're traveling. Do they grill chicken? They grill, they got, that's why I said grilled nuggets. No, no,

grilled chicken sandwich, okay, with waffle fries. Okay. Grilled chicken sandwich are, all are their fries are waffle. Willie's going to walk out of there with the freaking, you want to take a,

you want a thousand dollars? Yeah, yeah. You don't want a thousand dollars? Hey, get in here, Hunter. Get in this,

you can just yell at, well, we're fine. What is it? These are the people. Hunter, you go. Uh,

you go. Play deluxe with chicken nuggets and unsweet-tee. Okay. Oh, no fries, too. No fries. I mean, fries come with it. Oh, well. Oh, so also fries.

Cobb salad. Cobb salad. Oh, man, he's been on a health kit. Wow. I just, see, that's why I was, how. If Willie orders an airport, if Willie orders an airport salad, I'm now judged. Hey, this is right. Yeah.

Everybody. Crave everybody missed. Not even close. Okay, here's what I got. Here's what I got. Now, y'all should, now, I really love that Permanent cheese thing they had going,

but he got on it. So that was not an option. So I got a spicy chicken sandwich with a club sandwich with pepper jacked cheese, took two of the buns off, combined it into a combo, a double. A double.

A spicy club with only one set of buns, one waffle fry, and a medium unswept. Yeah. Oh, $2.000. That's a Willie. That's it. That's definitely, yeah.

I should have went with my first one, just one of everything, because that's basically what he did. I comboed them and threw the two buns away, if you would have just called the club. The club and the spicy. And the spicy. Ditch the buns, make one. I was thinking about telling them at Chick-fil-A that they should consider that

being an option, the Willie. Oh, yeah. Yeah, call it the Willie. We just save the world a set of buns. Yeah. Well, it's like all these places have these like secret menus apparently. Like you could go to a drive-thru and order something that they don't have on the menu, but apparently the workers there know what it is.

Oh, yeah. Well, that's what's great about Chick-fil-A's app. Like, when I eat lunch there, I get two grilled chicken breasts with jalapinas and pepper jack cheese in a bowl. I don't like their buns. It's kind of weird. I just don't. Well, I told you, I was going to tell. them to put that in, but then I realize that that'll probably cost them money.

Yeah. So you're making more money selling the, you know. The bun is cheap and I don't need that. I'm just needing the. That's what I love about the app. In between her. Yeah, yeah. I like that spicy jumping up against, because you got baking, grilled, spicy.

One of the greatest things that happens, all these restaurants made the apps, because now you can order what you truly want. You don't have to, like, hold up the line when you're like, no, you just put in. Like Johnny's pizza. App, unbelievable. You can make your dream Johnny's pizza. There's a problem I've got with that. I'm struggling with finding it, making it well done.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The brick. Yeah. They need to fix that. Yeah. They used to, it was an option when it first come out. I know it. And I knew.

So you know what I do? I said, I have done this before. If you go to recently ordered, you can reorder your well done. That's your cheat code to get your Johnny's pizza well done. Martin, I've ordered a few since then. It'll still be in there. They do a full history. Yeah, I've been into that.

Yeah, they need to fix that. Put that back on. When you're ordering on an app. I don't order it on an app. We did order a pizza and have it delivered here the other day, blue size mine. I ain't even got a phone too, have it out. But he's open to being taught an iPhone. Yeah.

Also on a recent trip, speaking of the airport, airport D-Gate, D-8. If I say D-8, what is the first thing? Does anybody, anything jump to your mind? D.A. It should be Popeye's chicken. Now let's switch over to another chicken plate. If I'm anywhere in the vicinity of the early D's, I'm at Popeye's Chicken. Oh, in Atlanta.

In Atlanta. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's a situation that we order off the board, but the lowest chicken tenders I can find option-wise is 15. And I don't, you know, and I'm up here, and I'm looking, and most people, just go ask, but I'm like, you know, if you challenge me, I'll, you know, I got 15 spicy and I'll tell you what, I made the best effort I could. I could not consume them all. But I made it through about 11 of them. That reminds me when the artist formerly known as the intern was still here, Jennifer, when she was pregnant with her first, I walked in one time and she had a

in-piece chicken chicken. from five and she said it's because it was like the two can dine deal she said i just wanted two biscuits and this seemed like the easiest way to get them i'm like all you got to do is tell them an extra biscuit just tell them you need an extra no but i they set it out where they don't want communication they want it all through the board they don't want any talking through the board oh so i was just like screw it i'll get 15 chicken tenders i'll see how far i can get through it you I'll tell you the one thing I do have an issue with and that's pulling up to the drive-thru and I have to order to an AI robot.

Oh, you better talk. You've been a Taco Bell, huh? They don't have a person that takes your order so it's like- Taco Bell AI now? Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah, when you pull up, it's all, it's all AI. I tried to get a burrito of an extra steak and it was like.

I'm fixing a go there. I haven't been there since it's been AI. It's not a fun experience in my mind. went to Taco Bellar the day, but I win the end. Yeah. If you go to the draft there, it's all AI. Yeah. It's 100% AI. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's. Is it good? I mean, is it better?

I don't always have a mobile order the few times. It didn't work well for me because I like to customize items. You know what I'm saying? That's what the app. AI seems like it could be the most customized. Like, it's AI. It's not like getting confused or. They don't have chat jet GPT at the thing. I mean, this is literally, I mean,

Taco Bells I've been to, it is chat, Jap, Jeep. This is bottom tier AI. Okay, this isn't like the stuff Elon's using. Well, I mean, it's... This is getting insane. It's Taco Bell. Oh, yeah. Tucker, they got to...

Si, when you're at Taco Bell ordering. No. He's not Taco Bell. Don't even go there. He ain't a Taco Bell man. No, he... Well, I like tacos, but I mean, no. He don't.

Y. A.I. Bull. Uh-oh. We have finally in 20 years gotten size speeches. They're killing the old people with all this crap. Rucker, can I jump back to one thing? What exactly are you trying to customize at Taco Bell? Well, like, I just was thinking about that.

Like, what's the big changes that? Also known as Willie's looking for a new order. It's not an exciting order. So I was with my son, Noah, 15 years old. And so he's in that stage of like, look, just give me a burrito with extra ground beef and some nacho cheese. That's all he wants on it. But at Taco Bell, they don't just have a... A kid's menu.

A beef and cheese burrito. You got to take all this other junk off of it. So I'm trying to reason with the AI. With the computer. It's not reasoning. It's not reasoning with me. That's because you're French and India, not Mexican. That's what I'm saying.

Forget the reason. in with it. You may should have, you may should have went in on the board. Yeah. Maybe I think you could customize that better.

The kiosk is probably better. It's actually because I went into Taco Bell recently this past week. I went in, I customized it, and I was like, this is kind of easy, and this is way better

until I unwrapped it. And I specifically said no lettuce and had lettuce. Oh, yeah. I'm like, there you go. I mean,

I literally punch the thing. Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Well, because now you need, People have all that cottage cheese on a taco. College cheese? Yeah.

It's something they put in it in this. They put cottage cheese. Sour cream. Sour cream. You got cottage cheese on the taco? Something went really wrong. It's sour cream. Hey, like you were talking about it, I said, hey, no sour cream.

No. What happens when I opened it up? Oh, just everywhere. Like a dirty diaper. Yeah, it's a oozing. I just question based on you telling the story. Is it possible you said no cottage cheese? No, no, because I'll give you a deal.

They finally, when I was out with the band, I had to have a, oh no, I had to have a phone so they could contact to me. Yeah. Well, it's important. Smart. They tried to make it idiot proof, which is impossible with me. Right. Okay. So look, I hit home button to turn it on.

And what come up was, hey, blankety blank, blank. bank, blah, blah, this thing cusses me out using the F word. Oh man. The phone cussed me out.

The phone cussed me out. AI is running a muck. AI cussed you out. Hey, the good news is, though, if you'd like to, I can share his location with you because he's got an air tag on him

at all times now called Gunsmoke. Yeah. I's got an air tag on it? Yeah. We put it on his keys. He's like my dog. He's a Labrador retriever. He's got to keep up where he is.

We're Si. You're truly half-ta airtight world travel. Yeah. You got a little case for it. Yeah. When you pull up five, my friends, it's under gun smoke. We can share his location with you in case you ever need to know where the old man is. Yeah.

We're waiting for the day when he's in a lot of exotic locations. We're just waiting here or the house. I won't even say this. I wouldn't even say this street. If I wouldn't be a Christian, I would be in a lot of exotic locations. If you wasn't a Christian, I don't know that you'd be alive right now. Well, no, I probably wouldn't. Right.

Yeah. That's your probably, that is probably true. Okay. I probably wouldn't. Hey. Yeah. There's only so many times you could. Well, that's just, you know, that's why when I'm speaking, especially when I got kids.

You know, if I was a parent, I wouldn't let my child at 10 years old have a phone. Wouldn't do it. Yeah. I don't know most of it give them full access to a phone at 10. Oh, hey. I see them all. all the time. Yeah.

They may be a little older than you think. Well, and I'm not taking, I mean, there's parental controls you can put, I mean, you know, you know,

it's a bad. Yeah. It was, so, you know, it was, it was made to be good, but leave it to a human being

to turn it to use it for bad. So were we, right? So were we. Well, no, no, no. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's get out. Yeah.

Oh, Oh, man, Lord, and we go unashamed if we need to. We can, but while we got you here, boss, we're wrapping up the first season of the revival. How have your kids and in-laws impressed you? What are your takeaways from working that closely with them now? It's been like a revival. It's a revival.

Yeah, you know, like a revival, like a church has a revival to get everybody fired up. Right. So yeah, I feel kind of fired up again about my family. And it was really fun. Yeah. A lot of fun. Yeah, a lot of. I mean, it's long and it's, you know, it's a little difficult. But it's, you spend that much time together and, you know, you look back and which is kind of way I felt about Doug Nogesty, like all the time. Like we were saying, if it weren't for Doug Dynasty, my kids probably wouldn't know Uncle's how that well. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, he'd just be the her.

They didn't know any of the other uncles, really. They didn't hang out a lot. So because of the show, they were able to hang out a lot. So, yeah, I really enjoyed it. Yeah, learned a lot about him. You've got to. Anybody surprise you? We're getting right down to.

This is a safe space. No, this is right down to it. What happens to your space? No, hey, I'm not talking about bad surprise. I'm good surprise. Like, I mean, there's, like, I'll be. honest, I saw Jacob Mayo come out of his shell. I mean, of what he put on around here, like that was

that was a surprising to me. So, I mean, that's the kind of not. I think Bella, yeah, for sure, too. But no, no. They're all coming out and, you know, coming into their, you know. They're coming out of their cocoons. Yeah. Well, the neatest thing to me was by either Duck Dynasty and, you know, the revival. Okay.

is that, you know, if you spend that much time with someone, usually there are issues and everybody goes crazy. And it's actually a really nice testimony for the Robertson family that we spent that much time together and we still love each other and like to be around each other. No, I'm serious. It really is. It's three generations.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you think about three generations. And it's actually fun. to watch them growing up. Oh, yeah. I was about to say, you literally,

you ain't ever watched a show. I didn't know. Sadie, John Luke, and all the rest of them, they all grew up on Duck Dynasty for crying out loud. Yeah. And then, you know, here they are married and got their own kids, and now they're all growing up.

They're on the revival. Yeah, the cool thing, too, just from my perspective, is like, you'll see how their lives and story unfold from this point on for them, right? Like, if not for, Doug Dynasty, I'm not here. I don't know any of y'all.

And I'm just a guy that, you know, ended up working here. And so it's like, how does that unfold for them in the future, right? Like them having this opportunity growing up, becoming into their own, what Brian Rutgers will they experience on their journey? That's one of the new things about it is all the people that will touch us doing it and all the people that will, you know, that they will touch. Mm-hmm. You know, because it's a roll-down effect, you know, the ripple effect. So stone and water hits, splash, and then the ripple effect goes out. Yeah.

So that's the cool part of it, because we all meet people, okay, and they become part of our lives, okay, and they become a lot of them become close friends like you. You know, and that's, you know, that's amazing, you know. It's important. Yeah. Touching me, touching you. Oh, no. Sweet.

Three. Yeah, it's. In the words of now, Palm, bum, bum, baby. I'm just there, you can sing that song without drinking. Oh, man, that's cool. I did an interview the other day, and someone asked me who,

who is the most different from Duck Dynasty to the revival? so I'll ask you all that question I will repurpose that question most different and then see if you say what I said different like who's changed the most from what you saw in Duck Dynasty

to the revival oh oh man I'm scared to answer no I just thought I stumped you with that shit I'm thinking and I save meat because I've got

a little more lippy. I don't know, man. I don't know. Let me tell you. The only thing that's changed about you is your mobility. That mouth is identical. Yeah. The only thing changed about you is you now require a little oxygen to get from point A

to point B and you don't have glasses anymore. Other than that. And everywhere I go, I got to have my little scooter to ride. You ain't got to. You're doing this to prove a point. No, I'm right. No, I've got to. No, you don't stop.

I do. You just like making difficult on them boys. You like watching that cat, you like watching what's his name rolling into the back of that minivan every time. That's all the reason you do it, make him load it and unloaded. No, that's not true. I think the easy answer for me, a serious answer, would be Satan. Because now she's a mom, she has her family. He was a teenager when we left.

Yeah, you know. And so, like, who is, I mean, that's a lot. Life changed. I mean, you go from being a teenager to now you're a parent. You have a successful podcast and brand. That was my second answer. Really? Yeah.

I mean, I would have to go Bella, but not. Well, yeah. Well, yeah, she was nine. I mean, like, everywhere she went, even on Duck Dynasty, I had to carry her. So, like, she Bella, you live back on all the pictures. Apparently, Bella wasn't big of walking from about the ages of nine until 11. She liked to be to be toad. She liked to be toaded everywhere she went, but now, you know.

I actually said I had changed the most. Really? Well, I'm not like the boss. I'm not up here. Well, that was. Not a duck commander. That would be my second answer. Keeping my grandkids and all that, like.

You weren't up here a lot. We still did a lot of business at your house then. So I guess that's why for me. Well, but you're still kind of the show. Maybe on the show. I'm jumping on you all the time. Like, nobody's in here griping you out all the time, making you work and doing anything.

That would be my. second answer because to me you're still the same guy you're just in a different season. Well, yeah. You dress a lot differently. There's no more flame. I mean,

I did think Sadie because, but you're talking about from kids to adults, but yeah, from what we last saw. But I'm just saying my role is a lot different on this show. Oh, yeah, your role for sure. Your role has changed.

Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, it was an interesting question that I got. Si said himself. What a, So you're the exact same, like, which is impressive because nothing changed. Oh, man.

Not still. Well, I just felt like I'm a little more lippy. You are a little more, you are, you're a little more editing now. We have to wipe down. I will say on the old one, I never saw you drive off when they were asking you to stay. And this one, I watched you drive. Oh, no. I saw you barking the tires out of the parking.

I'm out of track. He said, no, we're done with that. I'm out on that. But now that we wrapped it up, though, the season just ended. Really, what was Christian thinking? I'm trying to do a gender reveal via a bow and error. I mean, what? Oh, he scared me.

Yeah. Yeah, he did. Yeah. Well, they've got an explosive back there, and he's done shot the thing three times, and he's over at a pullout. Hey, get back, stop doing that, you idiot. Scared him so bad, I never got out of his truck.

Yeah, you know. Safe distance. Just safe distance. I thought it was a classic rookie. You go out there and you do it when nobody's watching and then when you've got, now I thought it would be easy because. He crushed under pressure. The target is not moving or breathing.

So, like, but. Stadium atmosphere, man. Some people got it. Somebody got it. get eyes on you. Some people got it. Some people don't. Well, and if I wouldn't have given him some notes on that crossbow by posting it on that table,

he's fixing to miss it again. Oh, ain't no doubt. He's going to try to free hand that thing. Yeah. Oh, man. You better get that elbow on something. Well, Sa and I, you know, met with him and encouraged him to do something that he was proficient at. Because when the pressure's on, it needs to be muscle memory.

a lot of that and I mean he's pretty new to the whole hunting game and especially bow hunting so I was like are you sure this? Yeah I got okay okay man that is drawing that thing back the long you hold it and when you're as strong as he is you're

thinking you can just sit there and hold it but the long as you wait a different set of muscle it's a different pull it back and let it go yeah once it gets there let her rip buddy it was a classic guy in his mid-20s just failing to execute. At least it's that.

Rucker, when he was failing to execute, he was ending up in prison. But like, at least this is just you're missing a target. Yeah, for gender reveals. You know what I'm saying? Yeah,

I was also missing a target, but it had greater consequences. You know what I'm saying? And now Rucker and Christian, Rucker and Christian about to have newborns the same age. Oh, yeah. That was great. Boy.

You're just to have a newborn? Oh, yeah. Yeah, she'd do to cab any day now, right? How old are you? I'm 35. I'll be 36 next month. You beat me, buddy. I was 38 when them boys coming along.

Well, if it is, when you have a, in. I got grandkids by the time I was y'all's age. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you did. You did. So I have a 15-year-old, and then you think to yourself, okay, a couple more years, like, he's out of the house, he's out of school. like he's all run it back you know but then you know my mom started over again yeah well my wife's nine years younger than me so it's just kind of happen you know well yeah uh no it didn't kind of happen

i know how it happened yeah he's very well versed yeah yeah yeah that is gonna make you um younger though yeah i feel like i'm having a grand kid more than i'm having a kid when your kid when your kid graduates school. Let's not do this math. It's going poorly for me. Hopefully. You'll be about my age. Well, yeah. And you all will be at the same graduation. Here's the other thing. Yeah. No, literally. Literally. And here's the other thing. When this, when this new baby is Noah's age now, Noah will be 30.

So he could very well have a family. Like, I got to have a kid in school and a grand kid in school at the same time. It'll be fun. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're going to be. I'm just hoping to live that long, if I'm being honest. I mean, really. You can be, yeah, old dad and young grandpa at the same time. I like it. Again, I have serious concerns about my medical status during this time. Let's face it, I haven't necessarily been the wisest when it comes to how you take care of yourself.

Hey, this man, smoke for 50 years. Look at him, man. He's still out here. Yeah, he still go. But he's rocking a scooter all the way down in the hall. He's rocking a scooter in oxygen, but I mean, he's still with us. Oh, did you talk about me running your scooter into that hot? I thought I broke my wrist.

No, no, we've left that one. It would take the visual. We've never talked about it. I knew when you got on it. That thing goes way faster. No, no. I said, I told people when as soon as you got on, I said, Willis fixed hard you and tell me to, boom.

I said, there it is. It moves. There's still blood on the wall, too. I cut my finger open. Because they had it on rabbit. Yeah, they talk about, they talk about. They talked about painting it, and I said, why would you paint it? Leave it.

It's hilarious. There's tire marks sillier in the hallway. There's tired marks in the side. Yeah. Tire marks and blood. I like to hurt Martin three times when they kept saying, hey, run it and go through the door again. Well, when I go through the door, I shut it down. And Martin's running behind me.

I didn't know it. He's got to miss me and the scooter. Yeah, I had to jump over here. I had to grab his shoulder and jump over. The only thing that does better than go forward is stop. Yeah. That sucker got to say. set of brakes on it, that it stops immediately.

And he said, quit that. He said, you face to kill me. Yeah. And I said, well, I didn't know you was right behind me. He said, duh. Well, you get to, you get to drive and they tell me to run. I need you to keep go. I need a little shutdown time, big daddy.

So, like, these brakes ain't what they used to be. Well, I was going to roll over there. Well, you get that much momentum rolling. What I was thinking my head was, somebody's going to walk by by the time I slammed me's doors open. Well, that's on them. Well, that's fine. That's on them, man.

We got workman's calm for it. It's fine. We're good. Just don't kill me. I was trying to turn the curve in the hallway here in the office. Yeah, it don't. Most people would actually slow down to take a curve. And for some reason, I just gunned it.

Yeah, yeah. You went Claudeville. It's more fun that way. And when I gunned it, I just went straight into the wall. Yeah, everybody up there was. Fracture my wrist. Oh, boy. The latest in a long string of Willie injuries.

Yeah. Does anything hurt right now? Are you good? You healed? ankle's coming back I'm giving it I did it Corey and I sprained her ankle

But we got some cool things coming. We'll touch on this. So the blind is coming back. Tickets are on sale now.

So how does that feel? Will, the project y'all works so hard on is now getting re-released. That's got to be a pretty cool thing, right? Yeah, I'm so glad. You know, I traveled out a lot. And every time I mention that movie, a lot of people laugh and have watched it. So, yeah. Yeah.

What did you think about your dad doing the movie? uh what say it again yeah what did i think about your dad doing the movie okay because when they they talk me i mean doing the movie i think you're saying agreeing to doing the movie yeah yeah um side i figured it yeah i mean he's been fairly open about me he's told you that it actually bothered him it's oh totally yeah totally They're bothering it. Talking about it's one thing, seeing it acting out, as a completely different.

Because I just said, you know, they'd ask me something that, what would we have come to you? I said, hey, you crazy. Y'all get out of here. I ain't going to do that. Yeah. Do everything that I've ever done bad? I said, no.

But Phil said, hey, if it'll bring one person, Jesus, I'll do it. Yeah. And that's why you do it. Well, no, no. And that's why you do. But I know. But I know, okay, my brother, and it really weighed heavily on him, okay?

Yeah, he said he gets. Because he regrets. Yeah, he was embarrassed, yeah. That he regrets doing the stuff he's done, especially with Mr. Kate. Yeah. Well, that's what CNN is, right? Yeah. I mean, that's what it.

Did he let him make a movie about your life, right? I mean, I'd be open to it, for sure, you know, but. They already got Rutgers out there. a bunch of different ones you'd have to put together. He broke a big giant puzzle. But I had one of the, I had kind of like a moment where, so somebody heard the podcast, this podcast,

and they were having a conference up in Amarillo, Texas, of all these juvenile facility directors. They were going to some conference. And one of the guys, I'd mentioned a place I was incarcerated at on this podcast. And one of the guys there, was asking the now director of that facility,

hey, man, I've seen the Duck Call Room podcast. This guy Brian Rucker, he mentioned being at y'all's facility. And so he calls, you know, the people back at the facility and says, hey, look in our database or whatever. Like, when was this guy here? And they looked it up and seen I was there. And I just talked to them yesterday. They were like, man, we just, you know, it's one of those things where it brings back

memories of stuff that you, you know, you kind of forget about because you're having a conversation with these people that are in charge of a facility that you was at. And you're trying to have some banter with them about like different things that happened while you were there. And it's stuff that you just don't think about all the time. And so as I was there having that conversation and, you know, kind of going through that reel of memories. It was, it was pretty cool, but it was also very humbling and like... How long were you there? At that. At that, That place six months. They're going to put up like a plaque for you or something?

Was I good? Did you act good when you were? No, they put me in oranges, which is basically, you had to wear an orange jumpsuit and flip-clots. Everybody wears an orange. Nah, not at this place. Okay. Not at the kids. So if you wear orange, that was a disciplinary thing for you?

Yeah, I started a gang called Texas made assassins and was having people beat up and stuff. I never made. No, I mean, I thought. You're embarrassed. You didn't want with like oranges and new black. That really caught wrong. That guy heard it and I acted a fool when I was there. Well, yeah, for sure.

You know, I did all kinds of stuff while I was there. I had the... Did you get sent out because of the stuff you were doing there? No, I almost did. I almost did, but they ended up letting me stay there. So this was a place where I had already went to TYC and stuff, and they sent you here. And in order to get released, you have to get past your learner's permit test, get a GED, and get a builder's trade. And so the program is set up where you go.

to like whatever builders trade you're working on. They put you in GED classes and stuff. And they call it a state school. And I almost get kicked out of there for, you know, those things. And they end up letting me stay. And that's how I got my GED. That's how I learned how to paint and stuff like that. Are you a painter?

I mean, I know how to paint. Okay. I was wondering, I bet that ceiling's tough on you. You're a long way from them. That's what he put on his resume when he got a job here at documentary. I actually, it might not be far from the truth. I don't know. I was, I really used.

I'd try to church it up. Like, what do you? Hey, what's your work experience? And speaking of Taco Bell AI, you couldn't even get a job there. Maybe that's why because they knew they were heading towards AI. Yeah. That's why they didn't hire you. Yeah.

No. They were like, we're going to cycle these jobs out anyway over the next 10 years. Well, I went in for the interview at Taco Bell. And I'm talking to the lady and she's like, yeah, sounds good. We're going to do a little background check. And then they did it. And then they said, I called them back a little, you know, like a few days later. I said, hey, did I get the job?

She's like, well, we got your background back. I got to talk to the regional supervisor and stuff. I was like, okay, that's out. Yeah, that's. I wonder why that would disqualify you from working at Taco Bell. You know, I really don't know. This is what, because many felons work at Taco Bell, right? I would get.

This is my theory. God was putting up roadblocks to get me here. Well, yeah, I understand that. That's a cool way to look. I understand that. I was just wondering in general, why I would like your past hold you back from working at Taco Bell? I would think you could have done that job even though you'd spend time in incarceration.

I don't know. I'd never, you know, I'd never went to jail for like stealing anything. And that's usually the thing that people look at. I'd only had one drug charge at that time. But it all depends on, like, what system you do background checks with. Because if it pulls up an arrest. That's what I'm saying.

If you're not going to work at Taco Bell, where would you be able to work? You know what I'm saying? Like, what are the... You'd have to get that paintbrush back in. What positions... I'm glad what happened. I know. I know.

I know. I know. Right. Which seems like I would less likely, you know, I would probably not want somebody in my house. Yeah. But at Taco Bell, huh? I mean, for sure. Make the food.

You know, I'm saying. Don't put lettuce on my stuff. Don't put lettuce. I'm not saying it's a bad job, but I'm just saying, I would think that would be a great. That would be an option. You just said something that I'm going to use in my preaching. Okay. All right.

Let's go. Oh, no, upstairs. Extra steak. You're a married. Hold on. God uses, you know, he turns on the red light. Stop. You don't need to go this for it direction.

okay here you go caution light on hey gotta be careful about going that direction and it's a day okay you're on the right track praying light you're going to work that in your next sermon I'm working on my next time

These are my favorite two verses.

For I'm convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels, nor de, Demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth or anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ, Jesus, our Lord. There you go. Amen. Our favorite team. That's a good one.
