Technical difficulties here in the duck call room.
We don't have a TV today, people.
We don't have a TV.
We're sorry.
Also, if you haven't noticed, we have special guests today, Sire.
I think they've noticed.
After looking at our ugly mugs,
we got the pretty women here today.
We got the pretty women.
We got this guy running through the middle.
We got the cover girls, boys.
So today in the Duckeller.
Now they're still cover girls today.
But, hey, thank you.
In the 80s.
In the 80s.
Oh, yeah.
I don't remember those.
Duck Ducks all right.
You big dummy?
So if you haven't figured it out, we've been rambling trying to get our TV to work.
But we have one of our favorite guests, Miss Kay, back in the saddle.
I love it.
I love it.
I'm replacing Justin Martin.
And first-time guest, my cousin, and I guess I'm her cousin, because that's probably how you know me.
Corey Robertson, wife of Willie Robertson, here to dispute some things that may have been said on this podcast before.
I'm here to tell the rest of the story
Are the real story
Yeah
But there's what we were talking about a minute ago
Okay
Go back and show from the beginning
Old baby girl worshiping
Look at her
She is worshipping
She's got those hands up
And then watch this
Look
Whoa
She is going to put it on left there girl
All the way
I love it
That the cutest
It really is
From the babes boys
That's right
She is a hands up
We got lights falling down behind me.
It's a weird day here in the duck call room.
We didn't even clean up for Ms. Kay and Corey.
It's okay.
We're used to.
They don't never clean up for anybody.
That's all so true.
I thought we might clean up for them, though.
Like, no.
I just don't.
What is Willie Robertson been up to?
That's a good question.
I'm curious.
Willie, yeah, John David, is that a weird thing for you to not know what Willie's doing?
I see it on Instagram.
Now I'm like, huh, neat.
Yeah.
I didn't know.
He has been speaking a ton about, yeah, all his evangelism.
He's been working so hard on that.
Speaking a lot, he's talking about, he's got a few projects, book, podcasts he's been thinking about.
I don't know if I can announce that on here because they're not like, you know, like done, done.
But, yeah, he's working on all that and doing great.
Yeah, doing a lot with camp.
You know, he loves camp.
That's a good thing.
It is a good thing.
Because if he's speaking about Jesus, hey, that's right.
Don't you need it, big time.
That's right.
He's doing good.
Yep.
Traveling, speaking, teaching his class up at church, working on camp.
He built, so camp, so Camp Chioca for those who I'm sure, y'all have talked about Camp Choke on here, huh?
Oh, yeah, I'm sure at some point.
Probably.
It's a camp.
It's a place we go.
Yeah, it's a place for kids.
It's for adults now.
Yeah.
Adults are out there every weekend now.
That's true.
Having, like, retreats and stuff like that.
So Willie goes out there because he's going to build this, like, walkway because we've got some, like,
drainage problems or whatever.
Well, you know how Willie does.
Like, if he's going to build something, you know, whatever size you think it should be,
like triple it.
Yeah.
And that's what Willie's going to do.
So it's literally, he calls it his boardwalk empire now at camp.
It's the biggest boardwalk you have ever seen.
The amount of lumber he put into this, it's, it, you walk all the way down the girls' village.
It's a big deck.
It's pretty awesome.
That's why he's speaking so much because he bought that much lumber in the year.
That's true.
You hear of our Lord 2022.
And lumber is definitely higher than it used to be.
That's exactly right.
That's hysterical.
Kay, what have you been up to since we last saw you here in the duck call room?
Well, I cook a lot, and I just enjoy being home when I can.
I thought Jay Stone does all we cook.
Oh, Jay does cook a lot for me now.
I love it.
He's good.
He's really gotten that whole beef tenderloin he does.
So good.
He cooked the best one for Jason the other day.
Well, I'm sure he did.
Jason will require the best.
I told him, I called him at night, and I said, hey, whatever you did on that one, you need to do that every time.
He said, hey, you're not going to believe this.
He said, it was done at 1130.
So I wrapped it up, you know, and put it in the pan, wrapped it with tinfoil and put it in the oven and just had it on real low.
Yeah?
And look, you couldn't, you could not pick it up.
If you stuck a fork in it, you'd try to pick up before Jason had cut it.
Mm-hmm.
All it would come up.
was what was on the fork.
The rest of it would fall off.
It was so tender.
Wow.
That sounds good.
He has perfected it.
He's got that down to a science.
Well, he's making it for us on Friday, I think.
I may have to just eat on that one.
On that little trip.
Well, I got to make sure, but I think that's what he told me.
I'll call him.
All right.
I might be coming.
Good.
I ain't going to miss that.
You need to check your place down there, so that'll be excused to come over and eat with us.
Yes.
Y'all are neighbors.
these days.
Perfect.
We are.
Yeah, but they're never there.
I know.
We need to come down there.
I've been wanting to.
Willie and I decided we said we were going to come spend like one weekend a month down there and we haven't done it since.
I know you did one.
We did.
You did one.
Well, we usually come in the summer because we go out on the boat.
You get too busy.
It's been cold.
We're waiting for the summer.
We'll be down there.
Well, everybody's so impressed by your boat dock over there.
Yeah.
And then the boats and all that.
And somebody was, you know, and he said, where is yours, Phil?
He said, there's this old Torup thing over there, and there's two more of which would be our neighbors.
And then he said, and that's Willys.
Who knows that's Willys because it's so nice.
Bill said, mine's a Torup one over there.
Bill said, I like to keep things like it.
Well, hey, it served him well for 30 years.
No, but yeah, but you go out to get on his boat deck, you have to jump over the water to get on it.
And watch for the snakes and everything else because it's like covered in.
I have a snake story.
Well, we love snake stories here on the duck calls.
Okay, so I've got a new yard man.
Yeah.
Blake Burnett, you know?
Oh, good, yeah.
And so he's up there and I have that thing of rocks that come down that I wanted in the middle of my flower garden, you know, right below the country kitchen.
So he is super worker, man.
So he decided to move all those rocks.
He's going to move them.
I mean, just take them out and like clean and then put them back.
Well, guess who was sleeping and hibernating in those rocks?
two copperheads
Oh
Which are there
They're not alive now
They went on to the snake heaven
If there's one of those
There's not one of those
I doubt it
We've discussed that in full
And
There is one for dogs
Now I'm wondering what else is
The sleep out there
It's kind of scary
But you know
They do hibernate and all that
And they were in the bottom
Of those snakes
I don't know
I mean rocks
That is so scary
Well that is one of the reasons
I'm on here
She's here
That is one of
of the reasons I'm on here to talk about because I heard Willie talked about when he threw the snake in the shower with me.
Did you know you raised your children to do that to throw snakes on their poor, unsuspecting life?
I don't know what? Willie went off on his own. He raised itself or something because there were all kind of different things with him.
He pretty much did. And I don't think he ever got past like 12 or 13.
No, he still, he's stuck in that time period because he's so funny. And you do like his humor, don't you?
I love it. I love it. That's what I love about him. And it's never boring being married.
How about this, that Jason said he's never disagreed with anybody or argued or had a different opinion?
Jason has never disagreed with anybody.
Well, yeah, I think he needs to repent.
Because I love him.
And he is doing so much better than everything.
But, you know, to say he never did that.
He said it was all my fault.
He's matured a little.
Yeah, he has matured a lot.
Yes.
But, you know, when he was little, when I said this, he said that.
When I said this, he said that.
It was just like, and Phil said, why do y'all argue all the time?
And I said, I don't know.
But he wants to disagree with everything I say.
Yeah.
Well, remember that time we took those personality tests?
And we all thought that Jace was going to be more like Phil.
And Willie was going to be more like you, but actually was opposite.
Isn't that weird?
Willie was Phil.
And Jace was like, hey, so that's probably why you argue.
Because you know how you like you argue with your kid that's like the most like you?
I know.
And that's why Alan said, Mom, that's why you are you, because you're too much alike.
Yeah.
And I said, I'm not like him.
And Jason said, and I'm certainly not like her.
And Alan said, so now this is the reason you are alive.
That's why you do that.
Yeah.
And I think I saw where Willie's like, Phil, the way he came out with his own business and, you know,
just took the lead and he has passion and everything he does.
That's Phil.
Yeah.
He couldn't work for nobody.
I'm serious.
He couldn't work for the man.
Could your brother work for anybody?
No, no.
Phil could not work for anybody.
I'm telling you.
Yeah, he's his own boss, right?
Yeah.
Got to be.
He's not work for it.
We're the same way.
He's his own boss, too.
It's true.
Very true.
Well, let's take our first break, and then we're going to come back,
and we're going to get Corey's side of the story of the snake in the shower.
I ain't heard this.
Me either.
It happened.
I didn't know if I would get killed doing stuff.
stuff like that.
Yeah, that's Willie.
All right, we'll be right back.
I'm going to keep exercising on this Q.
Yeah, he's living very dangerous.
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 Triedales beef makes such a good product, baby.
Ain't it good?
It's so good.
Our friend, Cy Robertson would say,
buy on the grill.
Look, before we got Triedales, getting ready for a cookout,
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 Tritails beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way.
Triedales 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 Trial'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 easier, folks.
Yeah.
Just go to trybeef.com slash.
That's tribeef.com slash.
support ranch families and eat some dang good steak.
You know John David's son Carter.
Yeah, this is why I have a vasectomy.
You all know Carter.
Okay, the other day I'm sitting in my house and all of a sudden I see our dog,
our black lab, run through our house and like trailing like 10 feet behind is Carter just running
through our house.
And we don't live that close.
And I'm thinking, okay, John David must be here.
So I'm like, look around, like, where's John David?
And then I realized, oh, John David's not here.
So I go out to find Carter and then he's running back across our yard.
And I'm like, is he alone?
How old is Carter?
He's seven.
Okay.
And I'm like, is Carter like.
A young seven.
Alone running around the neighborhood.
So I called John David.
He doesn't answer.
I called Allison.
She doesn't answer.
We're not worried about it.
I called your mom.
I called Janice, which is my aunt, his mom.
And I'm like, do y'all know where Carter is?
She's like, oh no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Is he at your house?
Immediate panic.
Oh, no.
I'm like, he was at my house.
But he's gone.
I don't know where he's going.
Well, so we were at my mom and dads.
We eat dinner there every Sunday night.
And he's up by the trampoline.
And there's a big field in between my parents and Willie and Corey's.
And he goes, hey, dad, I'm going to go say hey to Spaz.
So I just think Spaz is in the field.
So I'm like, okay, bud, go say hey to Spaz.
Well, he'll be back.
Go see the dog and then be back.
No.
He goes over, picks a lock, just goes into Willie and Corey's house, makes a sandwich,
gets him a glass of water, says hello to Spaz, and then just comes on back.
He just ran through the house.
Hey, Sprague, you're on a piece of a hamlet of you?
Yeah.
He came to visit.
So then I had to tell him, like, hey, we at least knock before we go.
Even if they are family, you have to not.
No, he does not have to knock.
He can come in my house any time.
I do not mind.
I just was scared that he was just like.
He was alone.
Alone.
That was my only concern.
Which, Mia, that used to be Mia.
Remember when Mia used to run the neighborhood?
She was little.
She would call herself visiting.
Yes.
I remember one time I was, like, sick that day, and I was laying asleep
on the couch. Mia's like four and I
open my eyes and Mia's standing right
there. Her face is like right in front of my
face. Just looking at you. I'm like
hi Mia, what's you doing?
That is something
Carter would do. That is why family all
lives in the neighborhood together. I love it.
I love it. But we had a problem with
Carter on the first time we took him
Trick or Treat and he'd be like, Trick or Treat, they'd open the
door and he's like in the kitchen. I'm like, well, no, no,
you stay at the doorstep.
They bring it to you. And Carter,
he's, he doesn't, he's in
beach therapy and so you can't really understand
a lot of what he says and he talks really fast
and he's never met a stranger and my three year old
can speak like she's 22 years old but she won't
she'll just stare at you she won't talk to anybody
so I'm trying to like mesh them together
I'm like you be more outgoing and you
you're freaking people out man
you calm back and don't go in their houses
but speaking of houses
and vasectomies
and showers so Willie just threw it
I don't know how well I was trying to get back to where we were
headed oh yeah the snake and the shower
We never got to the snake.
You got to defend yourself.
I heard Willie told this story about throwing a snake in the shower with me.
Like we were like early married, like had been married like two years.
And he loved to like surprise me and scare me.
And he thought it was just hilarious.
And so, I mean, this actually, like I don't really think there's much to tell.
Because that is true.
Exactly what he, he literally, I'm taking a shower one day.
I'm hoping it's a green garden snake or something, Shirley.
It was like a black snake.
I don't know.
I'm taking a shower.
Maybe a Kingsnake.
One day.
I think it was a king snake.
I was taking a shower one day, just minding my own business.
And all of a sudden, a snake just drops into the shower with me.
I got out of that shower so fast.
I mean, it's a miracle that I did not hurt myself.
For real.
I like, the shower curtain comes down.
I'm like running out of the shower.
And Willie's out there dying, laughing.
So it's kind of a miracle that we're still married.
That's what I was going to ask.
That's actually kind of a miracle.
Do you see what I went through raising him?
Oh, I can't imagine.
A little alligators in my bathtub.
For real?
Dogs in my bathtub.
Alligators?
Yeah, baby alligators were in my bathtub.
What was he doing?
Turtles and frogs.
Lizards don't even light water.
Everything that you can catch, Willie's probably caught it.
That's actually true.
And put it.
actually trape, which was great.
And put it in the house.
It was great when we had little kids, because our kids loved all the animals that he brought home.
He brought home flying squirrels, a bat, which John Luke got bit by that one time.
That's a whole other story because Willie brought one home.
I remember that.
Yeah, how do you get rabies shots?
Yeah, that was not my best.
The whole family was freaking out.
I remember, and John Luke, like, went to the hospital and was like, John Luke got bit by a bat.
And he was the oldest grandson, so everybody's like, oh, John Luke got bit by a bat.
and I'm only like six years older than John Luke
That should have been on the Duck Vanity show
But I asked him he was like how old was he?
He was like six or seven
It was like our pet bat that Willie had found at the camp
And brought up to be a pet
I have no idea why I'll never forget though
John Luke looked at me and goes
Well I was more concerned about the bat than the bite
And I was like you're a weird little kid man
He was
He loved that bat so much
I mean I think he made it in like six
He loved that bat
And Willie had told him, like, you can never touch the bat without gloves, meaning like thick leather gloves.
But John Luke, he obeyed.
He got gloves, but he got my rubber gloves from under the kitchen sink, those yellow rubber gloves.
Put his on, try to pick up the bat, and the bat, sure enough, bid him, like, two little holes right there on his finger.
So then I, like, Google, like, what happens if you get bit by a bat?
Because I don't know.
And it's like, rabies, rabies.
I'm like, oh, my gosh.
So he had to take him to the hospital.
he did have to get his first round of rabies shots.
And so they had to test the bat to see if it had rabies.
Otherwise, he was going to have to get like five rounds of rabies shots.
No, no, yeah.
Yeah.
That's bad news there.
So they had to kill the bat to test it, and John Luke was devastated.
It really was sad.
He was like, bawling, don't kill the bat.
It's okay.
I'll get the shots, which I thought was really sweet and brave of him.
John Luke was the animal, like, king.
He loved them.
I was an animal lover, too.
And I got much trouble with so many.
I brought home
and found, saved,
did everything.
I had nightmares about snakes
for a while after that one
after really threw in the shower with me.
I was like dreaming that they were in the bed with me.
It was terrible.
If they were a king snake,
they're bad looking.
Yeah.
It was scary.
No, no, they're ugly.
Yeah.
And I mean, I'm not like...
They're good snakes, but they're ugly.
I'm not like a super scared of snakes person.
Like, I'm not, but I don't want in the shower with me now.
I mean, I'm...
You got to draw a line somewhere.
There is a line.
And the shower is well past.
Yes.
Way past the line.
My brother, Tommy, Judy's in nursing school.
She comes home one weekend.
And he finds a grass snake, pretty good size of them, probably two foot long.
And he wrapped it in between these fingers.
And then he squeezes it.
And that snake is green.
Well, it turns when he squeezed it, it turns blue and yellow and green and red.
I never heard this.
And it looked just like, no, no, it looked just like because we was always fighting.
Okay, so we come running around through her room and are throwing punches, okay?
It was like that.
You know, Tommy, Tommy threw in the door.
Okay, no, I'm broken, I'm broken, yo.
Judy said, let me see.
He said, oh, no, that's broke, I'm telling you, it's broken.
He's like this.
Well, when she grabbed and done this, he opened his finger and the snake.
hands come up.
Oh my goodness.
And see this, you know, like, you know, with berserk.
That's fantastic.
That's hilarious.
No, no.
That sounds like something Willie would do.
No, no.
He used to, but the worst.
He gets it normally.
Yeah, he does.
From the family.
Yeah.
But the thing that he would do to me, though, that was, I mean,
it might have been worse than the snake.
Just even he would just, like, hide around corners.
Like, I was scared for, like, years.
Even to, like, go around the corner.
In her own house.
In my own home.
Yes.
I would like reach, I would like reach around the corner to, like, tap to see who was there before I'd go.
Because he would jump out and scare me.
And I'm like, you're going to give me a heart attack one day.
Like, you actually are.
He still does that to people.
He does.
And if you leave the bathroom last and Willie Robertson leaves it first, you're in the dark.
Oh, no, no.
He will turn the lights off on you in the bathroom.
Yeah.
It don't matter how many people are in it.
He'll do it to you in an airport.
Any restaurant.
Yeah.
That was the best part of Duck Dynasty.
Whenever we'd do something, and people would ask me, well,
What is really, really, really like?
And I said, hey, he's an idiot.
No, he's a jokester.
No, no.
And I said, hey, he's the worst prankster we've got in the family.
That's true.
It was actually kind of nice during Doctonisie because he had the whole film crew to prank
so he could like, I took the pressure off of me.
Because then he kind of moved it on to everybody else, yeah.
I told him, I was like, our film crew is going to come back and haunt you after
Duch Dynasty's over because he would just do things to them.
A lot of food was thrown at people.
Yeah.
Hide in their phones, of course.
A lot of that.
A lot of.
I experienced it for eight years.
Just Willie's torment on a daily basis.
They did get him back, though.
I've always said I've never grew up and I haven't.
Yeah.
You know, obviously.
Y'all are both big 14 years.
Yeah.
We ain't going to grow up.
Hey, I like it.
I like it.
Hey, adults are boring.
Yeah, and Willie's never been boring.
He's not, no, he's not.
So the film crew did get him on the last day of filming.
Do you remember what they did?
You might not even know this because it was in our interview.
Willie and I were doing our very final interview.
And Willie had made the mistake of telling somebody that he hates cotton balls.
Like he can't even say the word cotton balls.
Like he gets like freaked out.
You know how like some people would like chalk.
Like I don't like talk on a top board or things like that.
Cotton balls is his thing.
He does not.
He hates them.
Well, they're really scary.
So.
He would be scared of that.
I don't know.
They'll throw a snake on you.
They make him feel weird.
So the final interview, we're sitting in there in the interview,
and as soon as it was over,
they dumped a giant bucket of cotton balls on him.
It was hilarious.
He freaked out, didn't he?
Yes, yes.
He was paralyzed.
He couldn't move.
He was scared to death.
You know, hey, sometimes you find out something about your heroes
and you end up disappointed because he's afraid of cotton balls, everybody.
Phobia of cotton balls.
Some kind of phobia.
Is there a name for that?
You should Google that.
We're going to take a break.
I'm going to Google that.
And then we're going to come back and talk about Miss Kay the mother-in-law.
Because that kind of interests me.
And I think it'll interest our fans.
So we'll be right back.
All right, we're back.
But before we get into Miss Kay, the mother-in-law,
fear of cotton wool balls is known as sidonglopophobia.
That is a thing.
Okay, wait.
Sidonglofo.
sidonglobophobia, the fear of cotton balls.
It would have to have my name in it.
It's a real thing.
Sa, that's right.
Sideonglofobia.
Sideong globophobia.
There it is.
I didn't know he was like that about cotton balls.
That's a weird thing.
You learn something new about your son.
Well, that's part of it.
You're his mom.
She's as what.
I want to know what that was like.
Because we've gotten Willie's story a lot on how your parents felt.
I guarantee you it has to do with a nurse.
Oh, you think a nurse scared him one day?
No, I'm serious.
That might be it.
I'm serious.
It has to do with a nurse probably giving him a shot.
That might be.
I would see them shot later.
You probably hit it behind the cotton ball.
Yep.
That might be it, Si.
I'm serious.
Assessed.
Say has just assessed.
Hey, that's what Robertson.
I always assess blame.
Yep.
Cotten.
Blame the nurse.
Blame the nurse.
She stuck him with a needle in from then on.
Cotton balls are out.
Jack. But Ms. Kay, you had absolutely insane children, and we've covered that in the length.
And surprisingly enough, they all married four very normal human beings for the most part.
Extraordinary human beings. Thank you for that.
That's someone's opinion. She's right here, one of them.
But hey, that's a personal opinion, okay.
All right.
How normal we are.
I would, hey, I'll have my doubts about any Robertson member.
They married in, though.
They ain't got the blood.
They have.
Look, if you hang with them, long enough, 30 years.
I'm mousis, buddy.
If you hang around, it's going to rub off on you.
Trust me.
You ain't getting out of this.
No, I think my daughter-in-laws are the best.
And how they make it is how I made it.
So they just have to.
Well, we learned it all from you.
We actually, Kay, like, helped us through the year.
She was always, one thing about, you know,
Some mother-in-laws are like always on the side of the, you know, the husband or their son, their son can do no wrong.
Yeah, you need to listen to him and do what he tells you.
Yeah, Ms. Kay was not like that.
She would definitely.
I would side with the daughter-in-laws many times on an argument.
I would tell my son, you're wrong.
She's right.
And they were like, well, that's not nice, mom.
I mean, I'm your son.
You should side with me.
And I said, no, I side with the truth.
Kay tells the truth.
That's right.
True.
Not only that.
I'm trying to teach you some wisdom here, young man.
Do you want to be happy?
Yeah.
Look then.
You better treat her differently.
Kay was.
I say was.
Kate is the best mother-in-law.
She's been, you were, like, you accepted me and loved me from day one.
There was never any.
And I was the one ready for the marriage.
You were, yeah.
And I was like, well, reporting.
Get rid of him.
No, I said, I said, we were.
Take him away.
Well, I probably did relieve a little bit of his, of him playing pranks on you.
It probably did relieve a little bit of that, huh?
Yeah, it did take some of that away.
It did.
Well, one of the things that I did fall in love about Willie, too, was the fact the way he loved you.
Yeah.
He was, he was kind of, I mean, on their dynasty, Jep is definitely the mama's boy, and that is true.
That is.
Because he's a baby.
That's accurate.
He's a baby.
He is a mama's boy for sure.
But Willie was also a mama's boy.
He took good care of you, didn't he?
Yeah, he took up.
And I love that.
He really did.
Yeah.
And we call each other, and it's real special.
Yeah.
And when he was little, he said he would.
I still waiting for those calls from J's to talk.
One day, one day.
One day.
That was one of my favorite parts of being Willie's assistants is whenever he wouldn't answer Kay, she'd call me and say, where's your boss?
And then I'd go, I'd look up where he was and tell her.
And then I'd call him and say, answer your mom.
And then me and you'd get to talk.
I do love to hear it.
I love to listen to you.
y'all's phone conversations because Willie laughs a lot.
Y'all both laugh a lot when y'all talk.
Yes.
Y'all have a lot.
Y'all are a lot of like, too.
We are.
And it just can't be.
It was just, he was funny always, and I was funny.
So I think I rubbed off a lot of him on being a funny.
I think so.
I think so, too.
And I was funny.
Well, you still are funny.
You were hilarious.
I am fun.
You still are funny.
Hey, we just found Lisa just texted Willie today and found a yearbook picture where
Willie won best, oh,
Top personality in ninth grade.
He was top personality in his class.
That's a heavy bird?
Was there a mullet?
Was that at Woodlawn?
He didn't have a mullet.
Was that at Woodlawn?
Yep.
With the mullet.
Top personality.
Yeah.
I can see it.
It was like eighth or ninth grade.
I think it was ninth grade.
And I said, I can testify.
He had a good personality in ninth grade.
And he did.
And at one time there was a class, I mean, he had the same class, you know, from kindergarten.
But at one time, I told him, I said, have you like, like,
liked or dated how many people and it was all the girls but one.
I believe it.
In his whole class.
I believe it.
That was like the youth group at our church too.
He dated everyone in our youth group.
Some kid was in my store the other day.
He was like, hey, didn't you used to work at Duck Commander?
I was like, yeah, I did.
I worked for Willie for a while.
He was like, yeah, my mom dated Willie.
And I was like, okay, okay.
He married my cousin in your face.
I didn't say that.
But I was like, all right, I don't know where to go with him.
We go to the grocery store.
most times you're going to find, we're going to run into somebody that Willie dated.
And one of the girls, I just, some of them were like fifth grade. You most of them are like
fifth. But he got married when he was like 14, so it's really impressive that he managed to
date that. Oh, he was only engaged three times. Remember? Yeah. Well, he started dating
in kindergarten, I think. Yeah. And he liked every girl but one. And he said, she's mean.
That's what he said. Well, she was mean to him. So there's a girl that he actually held a
grudge on for years. He finally, I finally told him, it was like, you got to let this go.
Yeah.
But he's in kindergarten
He ran that past me
He was like
Do you think I should let this go?
I was like yeah
Corey's right
He was in kindergarten
And he said he had his shirt
Up over his head
And he was like scaring people
He was scaring all the girls
He was running and chasing him
Going like well
And they were all like screaming
And you know play it along
Well this one girl
She stood up to him
And she was like
You're not funny
I know who you are
I know you're Willie
And you're not funny
And I'm not scared of you
And it just
He just felt
dejected and he was so hurt by it he held that grudge for years until he was 40 something he was
well into adulthood and he was like she told me i wasn't funny i was like you were six you weren't
and he was like now Corey said i should get over it and i was like yeah it's time let me tell you
something i remember when he was three years old and and he was funny and one of the this is one
of the things he did we went shopping at uh it was for Walmart
so maybe it was Howard Rose or something like that.
And he, and I was with me and, and Ed put him in the bag and all that.
And then when I noticed, I went out, I did not notice this until I was driving home.
And I had my sack and stuff and all that.
And then I looked over to him and I said, where did you get that hat?
And he said, in that store?
Oh, no.
And I said, I didn't buy that hat.
He said, no, I did.
I got it.
And I said, well, you didn't have any.
money and he said no I just took it. And he said and I liked it so now I've got it on. And I said well we're
gonna have to take that back but I couldn't do it then because I had somebody coming you know and all that.
So it was funny because I don't know if I ever got paid for that three or four dollar hat.
But I mean it was like he just he just had it on like it was okay. Yeah. He said I bought it.
And I said you didn't have any money and he said yeah. So I just took it.
it without the money because I didn't have any today.
Oh, no.
He's just planning.
He had a plan.
He's going to come back and pay for that later.
One day.
I'm sure.
I like this episode.
I always like when I'd come in to visit and they had tell me and tell me and tell me,
yeah, we were going to run away from home the other night.
Oh, my gosh.
How many times?
He got so mad.
That was about every Friday night.
He had a bunch of tin down there.
He put over a drain where he water drain.
And that was his house.
Yeah, he was creative with where he lived.
He lived everywhere down there, didn't he?
Yes, he did.
So many different places.
Yeah, he had been okay.
He said, I'm gone.
I ain't coming back.
And he'd pack his stuff, and he'd take water,
and he'd take all kind of snacks.
He'd take all kind of stuff.
When he'd run out of water and snacks, here you come.
It's supper time.
Yeah, then he decided to come back, yeah.
He could smell the fried chicken coming.
Didn't you say that?
He would run away, but he would come back faster.
But Jace, when Joe.
Jason decided to run away the one time.
Didn't he stay longer?
He's more stubborn, huh?
Oh, the stubbornest one of all.
You knew Willie was coming back.
He was getting hungry.
What was the one that stayed in that pasture part of the night?
And it really had cows in it.
And I think Willie was, it was Willie.
And he woke up and he said, I was just under the cow.
Oh, my goodness.
Willie probably got lonely.
He probably decided to run away.
Then he was like, oh, it's not so fun.
I need to be around people.
Yeah, yeah.
He definitely had to have.
attention. Yeah. The secret life of Willie Robertson from those who knew them best. I like this
episode. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. I remember we had that mud fight
down there. Did we come in? We had a big... I don't know, but that's common. That was very common
at my house. Mud fights? We had a big mud fight when we were dating down there one time. I remember
that. Well, the funny part was, you know, how opposed, you know, Corey and them were to them moving along
their relationship and everything.
And Phil said, I just don't understand.
I mean, look how young we got married and all that.
And I was like, Phil, people aren't like us.
And, you know, but he said, well, he's my son.
He wants to get married.
I mean, who cares?
I said, her parents, maybe.
My parents actually did care.
But I think Phil's line was like, well, you can get married at 16 in Arkansas,
why don't you just?
Yeah, he did.
State line.
Yeah, it was close.
Yeah.
Thankfully, my parents came around, so we didn't have to do that, thankfully.
A lot to Arkansas.
That y'all actually got married and had a good life together.
That's right.
That's right.
You all went to the parents.
But it wasn't when you graduated from college.
No, we got married 18 and 19.
I know.
Yeah.
I think it was just, I was the oldest.
It was just shock.
There was some initial shock factor that I was 18.
I was 17 when I first said we were getting married.
Yeah.
I think there was a little shock that my parents had to kind of get through.
But they got over it.
And we had a beautiful wedding and 30 years later we're still going strong.
So we knew that.
Yeah.
We knew that from the very start.
We just knew it.
You did.
And the way, I mean, the women are girls that he's been through, you know.
And then it was just like, I knew.
I knew this is different.
Aw.
He really loves her.
I did.
And, you know, so to me, I didn't see anything wrong with them getting married them because we did.
Mm-hmm.
Well, my parents were 18.
to when they got married.
So I was like, y'all can't really say a whole lot because all did the same thing.
And they've been married for, what, 50 years?
50 years.
50.
They're 50.
They just hit 50.
Yeah.
So they really couldn't say much either.
I think they just had to get over the initial shock.
Well, and I think you just, and yes, you're going to have growing up things and all that,
but when you do them together, you just go through the hard, you know, I've always said the good,
bad and ugly.
That's what you go through.
Yep.
And as long as you stick together, you're going to have.
make it. I think too many people that I talk to or even like, well, you know, if we don't make it,
well, we just, you know, separate or whatever. And I'm like, why would you go in thinking that?
I went in thinking, this is the love of my life. I vowed to God to take him forever till death to us part,
and I lived it. Well, the amazing thing about that is the whole family of the Robertsons.
It's okay. Leave him. Yeah.
Get on with your life.
I had not one.
I had not one supporter.
No, no.
Stay with him.
We all told her, hey, get on with your life.
You were seeing what was happening and it wasn't good.
My family, his family, every family.
There was one Robertson that stood fine for Phil Robertson.
That was Jan.
Yeah.
Jan says, you ought to be ashamed to yourself.
It made her mad.
She didn't give up on him, huh?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, it made her mad because when we tell Kay, hey, you need to get on me life,
you and the kid take them and get away from him.
It ain't no good.
and Jan kept saying, hey, y'all ought to be ashamed of yourself.
That's your brother.
Wow.
Well, Jan was of the, she knew that God had plans for Phil.
But she really did that.
And she never believed, I mean, she believed there was a purpose for the bad that was going to go to the good, which it did.
The coolest thing that I ever heard my brother say is when Bolin and all them old boys he used run with come up there and said,
Hey, let's go get drunk and chase women.
And Phil said, hey, y'all don't understand.
That guy died.
Wow.
I buried him.
He's no longer on this earth.
Wow.
The man you're looking for is dead and in the ground buried.
That's right.
That's awesome.
That's the last time he comes to get Phil, too.
Yeah, yeah.
I got killed on.
Yeah.
That's the coolest thing I've ever heard my brother say.
Wow.
And because he said that, all four of us and that guy over there,
behind the computer are here right now because without that one decision no yeah none of this is
happening y'all don't even know no no no my sister she has said it she said y'all won't don't have a clue
phil robinson's going to bring more people to jesus christ than you will ever even imagine she was a prophetess
she was and she was right she was right wow she never well i always say always say when we tell people about
your story. I say it's just what had to happen was Phil had to, he had to die to himself and be
raised new. And Kay had to forgive, which that's not an easy task either. That, you had a lot to
forgive. I don't know how many people that I truly know right now would have stayed in that life
10 years and then forgave what all he did. Right. And you really forgave. And that is a beautiful thing
to witness and to see Kay as my mother-in-law really forgive. Well, no, no. That's,
That's the hard part.
Most of them couldn't do it.
Yeah.
What about when his...
Too many heartaches.
Right.
What about his child that came back after 44 years, never knowing she was on the earth?
And he welcomed her with open arms.
Yeah.
She's my neighbor.
Amazing.
Yeah.
Next door.
Yeah.
And never had a question about it.
Kay was like, come on in.
Right.
See, what was cool about that was that she had it in her life.
And then they didn't even know why.
Because her parents that raised her, they wouldn't got it.
Mm-hmm.
But she was always, why am I thinking?
My grandmother was.
Yeah.
Why am I thinking like this?
There's no one around that I'm around that's even ever talked like this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's talking about Phyllis.
Oh, Phyllis.
Yeah, and you know, she always felt like something was wrong.
Had a faith.
And I see so much in her now that she's so much like Phil.
Yeah.
I mean, good and bad.
I'm just saying.
I mean, I mean, she's,
the jeans run deep.
She'll say like sometimes I want to be by myself.
I never want to be by myself.
You're like, okay.
You know,
and then she's kind of like,
I can just sit and not talk with people around me.
I can never do that.
Yeah, but you got that,
you got that from being around mom and daddy.
Well, and my, you know,
with my grandmother and I was at that store,
I was raised in a big store.
I was always visiting with,
people so yeah because mom and daddy was the same way they always had you know i call them i call them
strays yeah we always had strays around the house yeah okay same way oh my goodness you'd look up and
hey who's this who's this old you know her parents were the same way i think that was something
that connected willie and i because like we look like on the outside you're like okay our families
were so different i lived in a subdivision you know all those things hey what size bed did you
have growing up
Thank you. All right. You heard it here first, everybody. So did she. You can't make fun of me anymore for it, Willie.
Ask Willie where his bed was. In the laundry. In the laundry. He said, it's going to give me, listen to the washing dryer every night of my life. He said, I'm going to be warped because of that.
It did him well. It did him well. But he can't make fun of me anymore. I just noticed that chance. Here's the deal. What I'm saying is like from the outside, it might have looked like our families are really different. But on what really,
really is important. Our families were so alike. We always had people live. We,
we, Mom and Dad, have somebody living with them right now. We always had somebody living with them.
I saw him yesterday, and I was like, who's this person? I was like, guys, it's Johnny Christmas's
house. It's somebody at our house. Our house is open to anybody. There's nothing. You can figure that.
Two moms. You know, two mama, two mama and two pop, but everybody. That's right.
You know, Paul Stevens preached over at our church Sunday, and Phil was gone, and he told, I forgot
all about it. But he was the first person Phil converted, you know, and baptizing everything. He was a
coach, and he was a football player. And then the next one, Steve out of him, I think it was number two and all
that. But then he said, Paul said, and I forgot that I just moved in with him. And he did. He just
moved in with us and was there for a long time. And I can't think of how many more would just
Phil would convert. And then they would just say, but I want to just stay with you because I want to
stay good.
Yeah.
Steered.
Oh, sure.
Give me up to death.
We just talked about you doing these things to everybody.
Get out of here.
I'm glad I was sitting on this side.
I know.
How did you get in here?
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you ever wondered if anything we said about that man is
untrue, it was just proven.
Yeah.
It is.
But we got to take a quick break, and we'll be right back with some emails after this.
Are we back?
We're back.
You're in charge, man.
Okay.
I just work here.
I want to thank.
Somebody send you something?
Gassimony Farms, okay, for fruit cake.
Somebody sent you a fruit cake?
It's made by the monks that work there.
Thank you very much.
It looks great.
I want to eat some of the cherries out of it.
No, you ain't eaten the cherries.
No, folks.
All right, brother.
Anyway, we got that, and then what?
We got another box.
I need to save that other box for Martin, though.
Okay.
There was some bagged chili from
Cincinnati in it.
Bad chitty from Cincinnati.
Not bad bad. Well, everybody
from Cincinnati hates me, so I'm sure
it has something to do with that. Who day, everybody.
Okay, but
hello at duckcallroom.com.
You all know, email us in, we'll try and answer it.
We got light questions. We got heavy
questions. We got weird questions.
But I try and save some for Ms. Kay, because she's on all the time.
Corey, I hope you've had fun.
I have had fun. You can come back sometime.
So if you got a question for Corey, I did.
I'll make a Corey folder here, and we'll ask her when she's back again.
But Hunter emails in, and he said his girlfriend and I are looking to get a dog,
and we wanted your help on picking a name.
We get to name this person's dog.
Wow.
First of all.
What?
What type of dog?
They don't have it yet.
They don't have it yet.
Well, what time?
You kind of have to see the dog to know the name.
But I was thinking maybe we just go with Bobo number.
seven. I think they should name him Bobo Seven.
And that's why I saved that question for Kelly.
And Bobo came from a dog named Jesse James.
And then we had just Jesse.
And then we went on down. We run out of ways to change to Jesse James.
So we go to Bobo.
And now...
How did it go from Jesse James to Bobo?
Well, I thought...
Well, his really official name at the vet is Jesse James number four.
but I was at seven I can't remember
but so we just couldn't keep making names for that
so we just decided to call him Bubba
you had to go with the nickname yeah and Bobo suited him
yeah yeah Bobo's still around
you kind of have to see the dog to know which we won't let Willie name them
that's for sure well I just named our dog spies and it's so it's terrible
I felt like I did not want to name that dog spies but Willie did it and now it's
stuck and now we have to call and it's a girl
And she doesn't really know she has a problem.
And she's not, she's, she's a great dog.
She was hyper.
My kid will just break into your house just to see it.
She was hyper when she was little.
I will give, I'll give him.
I just thought Kay was a great person in the name of dogs and she's so good at it.
She just keeps using the same two.
That's right.
Well, I make different parts of that.
Jesse James or Bobo.
But you know I have two rescue dogs.
Are those the ones that got in the fight at the wedding?
Yep.
and their names are Griffey and Penny
and I want to know who named those
when I picked one of my grandchildren that was there
at the time we got them
Merrick Robertson
and she said we will name him Griffey
and we will name her penny
so is that freaking sneaky
yes thank you for changing their names
Phil did that that's what he calls him
him inside but nobody else calls him that
I do.
Freaking sneaky.
I actually never knew their name.
We need to change their name and call you.
Jesse James or Bobo.
Something else.
Well, hey, I like your time.
Well, our family does like nicknames.
I will say that.
Will, we call Bob.
Kind of like Jesse James calling Bobo.
Yeah.
You know?
Who knows?
I did meet a kid in the store the other day who's named Sai.
They claimed it wasn't after you.
They were from Toledo, Ohio.
Friends shout out.
But I think it was after you.
Well, actually, there's a lot of dogs.
name Sadie and Bella. That's apparently
a really common dog name. I get that
a lot. People come to me like
oh my dog's named Sadie or my
dog's name Bella. I think I had a dog name
Bella. I take it as a compliment. I'll take it as a compliment.
So here's our next email. It was a thank you to Miss Kay. I'm going to pull up this
photo. Oh wow. Do you recognize that Ms. Kay?
In the bowl. Well, I can't.
You can't see it? Let me zoom in.
What is it, sir? It is Miss Kay
famous banana pudding.
Oh, of course.
And they wanted to thank you.
This is the staff of the Hill Country
Pregnancy Care Center.
And Born?
I'm going to go Born.
There's extra letters.
That's more than just born.
But Born, Texas.
And they just wanted to shout you out, Ms. Kay,
for sharing your world famous banana pudding
because it was truly delicious.
And we appreciate you.
And they said,
your family's ministry to communities across our nation.
And so I wanted to take a moment, especially with Corey in the house, because how many of these type of centers have you done stuff for?
Yeah.
And so I just wanted to say thank you to these people and everybody out there in these pregnancy centers.
That is super tough job from top to bottom, dealing with people that are going through something kind of traumatic and life-changing.
And a huge decision is at hand.
So thank you, too.
There's like nine or ten women in this photo.
I just want to say thank you.
So thank you.
Yes, thank you. Truly saving lives.
For sure, for sure.
And birth mothers that bring their baby to life are true heroes.
You know, and I can tell you so many stories.
I know I don't have time to do that, but one girl that I was working with
that had been in a real bad lifestyle, and she had come back, you know, came to the Lord
and was trying so hard and being here with us.
And she was working in a store, as a cashier.
And she heard a mother and a daughter talk about going to get an abortion.
on the Monday, and this was Friday.
And she called me on the phone, and she said,
Ms. Kay, we got a problem.
We got a problem.
I said, what is it?
And she told me the story.
And she said, I just want to go right now and take them over to the life choices.
I want to do that.
And I said, okay, let me call them, make sure they're there.
And I said, I'll call you right back, and you find any way you can to get them over there.
So I called them.
They were leaving.
They all got out of their cars, came back in, set up.
like they hadn't even closed.
And I called her back and said, go now, go right now,
just think of anything you can do.
She even had to get off work and took that lady and that mother
and that baby that was supposed to be aboard on Monday was saved.
That's amazing.
And this life, he's here.
And that's just like that.
And it would touch me so much because this was a brand new question.
But she knew that wasn't something she had done before.
And she knows how much agony that was to worry.
every day think about it.
And so she just stepped out and was so brave and did that.
But I was coaching her, you know.
And it just, I think it's a beautiful story of saving a little boy's life.
That is.
That's amazing.
All right.
So last email on the day.
And then I got a little Bible scripture from Uncle Sa to share with y'all.
And this one's heavy.
I had to cough.
McKenna emails in.
And she's got her father, it's not the best relationship.
It doesn't sound like.
But he has voiced his opinion about my wedding.
It's this year.
He doesn't want her siblings, she says, siblings, parentheses, stepkids to be invited for personal reasons.
So there's a little bit of a mess there.
But she still wants to invite them, but then he said some things that weren't nice.
He wasn't being in the right there.
She's been leaning on God.
I know God wants me to be kind, generous, loving, forgiving.
But I'm so afraid my father will mess up everything at the wedding.
I know God gave us free will
and it's up to my father to surrender to God
and then he will be saved from his own pain.
I don't know how to respond to the situation I'm facing
and I need advice.
Should I have more faith that God to protect
and strengthen me through this and invite my father to my wedding
or should I save the heartache and not invite him?
I feel like both are wrong decisions
which is why I'm glad we have two women in the house.
We'll both say something.
I would say that you've got to be,
Christian, you've got to do the right thing.
And sometimes when somebody's mean,
it doesn't make,
you don't do the right thing by being
mean back to them. You really don't.
What you want to do is show them what Jesus would
be like, and that's real hard.
But, you know,
it's kind of like if you're going to invite
somebody that you think will be a trouble
maker to a wedding or to anything,
you know, that's another hard decision
there because, you know,
you do hate for people to be upset.
And Corey, I want to know what
you think? Well, I would say first of all, I think she has a great attitude about it, just giving it to God and asking God's help. And within, you know, that's the first thing you've got to do is just take it to God. And you can't, you can't control it all. You can't handle it all. So you do have to just kind of give that up. But I would say, you know, I would hope that she could have a conversation with her dad and just say, I want you to be at the wedding. But if you can't be there, right.
and behave, I mean, essentially.
You might figure out, talk with the counselor or therapist about exactly kind of how to word that,
but to say, like, I want you there, but if you can't be there and be pleasant and kind to all
the siblings and everybody that's there, then don't come, you know?
Like, I want you.
That my hope is that you're there, that we're all there and that we have a lovely time together.
But if you can't, then I understand that.
And that's your decision as well.
That's like letting the devil in.
Okay, you're making a covenant between you and your husband and you and your husband.
and God.
Okay.
And like I said, I know goodwill.
You want your father there for a very good moment in your life.
Okay.
But if he can't get over it and will not act right, I wouldn't invite him.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because this is your day.
Yeah.
Okay.
When it gets right down to it, this is for you and your husband and God.
Okay.
and that's what's important.
You do what you need to do
to be happy, baby.
Amen. And I got that
email this morning, and I read it and I was like,
ooh, that's tough. I can't answer that.
And I was like, we've got Corey and Kay on today.
What a perfect time for a woman getting married
to ask for advice from four weird dudes
when we got Corey and Kay who are two normal women in the house.
So thank y'all for being here and answering that.
And we always end it with the Bible verse.
Sorry.
And I got a little one today.
I said this on the last episode, look, we know there's a lot going on out there.
We just want to make you smile for an hour, maybe give you some good advice and tell you about Jesus.
We're not going to deep dive into whatever's going on that's crazy.
But I will share this verse with you that will hopefully help you through the crazy of whatever's going on in your life.
Sy was asked me to do it.
So Matthew, whoops, I forgot the chapter.
Matthew chapter six, Jesus Christ said these words, therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink.
or about your body, what you will wear.
If is life, is not life more than food and the body more than clothes,
look at the birds of the air.
Do they not sow or reap or store away in barns?
And yet your heavenly father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Can any one of you by worrying at a single hour to your life?
And then I'm going to skip down about four verses,
but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you.
you as well therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself each day
has enough trouble of its own thank y'all for listening we're here for you in the duck call room
if you need us thank you corey and k for joining us that was one of my favorite episodes ever
we'll see y'all next time right here
