I am unashamed. What about you? So we're very excited about what we're going to give you today on Unashamed. We hear from you guys all the time how much you love it when our wives come on. And of course we understand why. One is they're beautiful and we're not. But also there's an edge that comes in. And mostly when Missy's on, it makes Jay so uncomfortable. And I'm just going to be honest with you, Unashamed Nation.

they're my favorite episodes. To watch Jay Squirm, it takes me back to my childhood. So we've got what we're calling the best of the wives, and we want you to check it out. You're going to love it. The more Jay Squirms, the more you can laugh because you know I'm laughing as well. So check it out.

The idea I had as uncomfortable as I feel when my lovely wife joins us. Really? Well, because they did the same thing with Si. They heard all these stories. and because he's on the Duck Call Room podcast and somebody said well let's get Christine on here which was a bold move and

Si's wife yeah Cy's wife and so basically she became and she didn't see our podcast but the same thing happened she became like the truth detector our conduit of Sylus Robertson so what they did and what happens here is sigh tells a story Well, then the drama bills, just like when I tell a story, the drama bills, because then they pan over to Christine.

And she, Roman gladiator style, either gives it the thumbs up or the thumbs down. And most of the times, it was the thumbs down. He'd tell a story and she would say what? Nope. Nope. And some of it was subtle. They said, you know, we were there over one night. They had this weird relationship with their friends.

And so I said, you know, we's eating a pot of spaghetti. And they kind of stopped, you know, had the album playing. And they go over to Christine. And she went, tacos. We talked about this the last time I was here. We're doing the same thing, talking about this exact same thing again. You don't need me here to talk about that. Well, there's some bitterness that I'm trying to get out.

Oh. I have to release Let your words Let your words be few, Jase. Well, my whole point is, and size point, we've banded together through this, which is great,

is that don't miss the meaning of the story just because memories have faded. Memories, okay. And, babe, look, I'm not, I don't want to start an intervention here, but you're not remembering as well as you once did either. That is true.

I did. when I walked in a while ago, you said you just told the Reed, the trucks stolen, his truck stolen, all that drama that just happened. You told that on the last podcast. Well, when Reed was talking to me about it last night, because I needed some clarification on some things after you told me, I was kind of confused. So Reed cleared up a few things, and he said at the end, he said,

I can't wait to see how dad embellishes this story on the podcast. That was a reason. So, Mom, that reminded me of the time that, that you almost died during one of your surgeries a few years back. That's right. And Jeff was still young because Jeff and dad were at the hospital waiting on you during the surgery. The worst two people that could have ever been in a thousand years ago. Lisa said never again after the incident.

But when you said put you on a ventilator. Right. So dad comes in the ICU room. And the first thing he says is Ms. Kay, you almost died. That was his, which was about as good as you're going to get. Well, he's wondering why would a woman, you know,

code during the surgery? And then he said, I don't even have, being jail, it was being jeb, don't even have money for a Coke. I mean, do you get any dollars? And I'm like, I can't talk. I'm going to ventilate. She had a ventilator. And didn't he say, I just want you to know that if anything had happened to you, I've decided I'm not going to remarry. Yeah.

Which was, mom just rolled her eye. Yeah. If I could have undid those things I was tied to, I would have threw something. So we had a little pad there. for mom so she could communicate because she was awake and aware of but she can't talk. And then I handed her the thing. She pointed and I handed it to it and she said, it's all about him. You remember saying that?

Yeah. You wrote that on that fast. I showed it to dad and he just kind of went wrong. We've chronicled many times that dad is not the most compassionate person, although he's mellowing and he's much, much better now, I think. Yeah. And even the way he handled the Bobo instance. Yeah.

Because it would be, you know, immediately my fault, why would you stick your head in a sleeping dog's face? You know, he would have said that. And he didn't say that. No. He told me that. Well, of course he told it to someone. He said that later.

Y'all have that syndrome. It's almost a phobia. I'm so glad you brought it out. Okay. Well, now, this reminds me a lot of my childhood growing up because mom and Jace, you know, didn't always see eye to eye. Is that a, how would you assess? It's according to who you talked to, me or Jace, how that childhood was.

She had this situation where she wanted to be a good mom. It was coming from a good place. But she wanted to have a conversation every day as soon as I awakened. The problem is I'm not a morning person unless I got a shotgun in my hand. I'm duck hunting. But just to get up and so she would. You wouldn't even get up. You sat there and stared out the window for a gun.

20 minutes. You have your syndrome. I have mine. There's a 10 to 20 minute thing that I go through where I just sit on the side of the bed. I still do it to this day. And I'm literally staring into nowhere. Are you meditating? Are you contemplating?

You know if I really told you, it would scare you what I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about what day is it? Where am I at? It's like when I go to sleep and then I wake up, I have to then, like, it's, like, is. It's like, we're alive and your own planet earth. I'm alive. What day of the week is this? What did I do?

So, and I didn't, you know, most people do that when they got hammered the night before. I didn't get hammered the night before. But I just don't, I have to figure out, okay, yeah, I'm here. Let's do it. But she would start asking me questions. Some I needed to ask you. When you're coming home, did you? have practice or something like that.

And you just stood there and sat there and stared out the window. I know. And so you thought he was ignoring you all those times? Well, I was ignoring because I didn't, I couldn't do two things at one. You know, she was asking me to quit and then she would get mad. And then we would, next thing you know, we're arguing. We did that for, what, three or four years? I think it started when you were two.

Oh. So I guess we did it for about 16. So what you told me, mine, was that Jace told you later when we had this discussion at some point that you didn't get him and you didn't get his humor. That was part of,

he was joking about a lot of stuff that you took too seriously that you just weren't getting him. Yeah, I should have took a course on how to understand Jace, his humor or whatever he was doing. But we did fuss a lot. Well, look, this,

may be a shock to. I have the same problem with my lovely wife. So we made a deal, and this is a deal, and everything just were, you know, rainbows and roses when this happened. We do not have any conversation about anything that matters or even could matter before noon. So when she gets up, I hope I don't die before noon. You couldn't know it. Well, I have not been that privy. I never did. I've been with Ms. Kay here for about 50-something years and with y'all about that same amount. But this is sort of new information for me.

I didn't know this was going on behind the scenes because I'd get up back in the day, you know, about 5 or 6 o'clock. You know, when it got daylight, I was out to either trying to catch fish or build duck calls, one or the other. So I didn't know the behind the scenes, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was every morning I would wake up.

And I looked at it as an interrogation every morning. It was just wherever you are. I should have been an FBI. Bubba. Remember a big Bubba? Yeah, I do. And so he stopped me and I was talking to him. And I had already met Alan when I was in the sixth grade and fell in love with him, I think, then.

But whenever I saw him and I was in the 10th grade, you know, I fell in love all over again. But so I see Bubba and he pulls me over and we, we start talking. And then a head comes in my window. And it was Alan. And he said, wow. So what I think is, wow means you filled out. Yeah. It's exactly what it means.

It's redneck for it. You filled out. Wow. Yeah, it's redneck language. Because he hadn't seen me since I was in the sixth grade. She was a little scrawny thing. when she used to traips around after me in middle school and all of a sudden I was like, whoa, you know, there's been some growth here.

Yeah. So anyway, so he said, well, hey, when are we going out? And I said, well, whenever you ask. So he said, okay, let's go out tomorrow. I was okay. He said, well, you want to meet me here? That was the first time. At the drive through?

At the drive-thru. That was the first sign of trouble. My mother was not. at the drive-thru, you know. Yeah. We didn't. No, y'all met at the drive-in probably. I haven't been through a drive-thru in so long.

And that's where I've met my wife. Really, you are the reason that Jay Seaman got into Treasure, because if you hadn't a, if you had no one. Am I supposed to take this responsibility? I'm not ready for this responsibility. Maybe you made a, which I told you about posting things on social media. Wait, wait, what are y'all attributing this to? This all got started over that one post. I was down in the yard.

And you didn't say, hey, babe, I'm fixed to take a picture of you in a vulnerable position. Oh, the one where you're digging in the front yard at the plantation, that one? Yeah. Well, that was my point was that you wanted to redo the plantation and y'all bought it into a bed and breakfast. Right. But if you hadn't had that desire, you wouldn't have opened up. the opportunity for him to ever get into treasure because that's really what started, right? You thought I'm going to be out here.

And I don't want to be doing bad in breakfast, so I need something to do. Well, I got out there and she was like, there's an old house out here in a log town where no one lives anymore. That's true. No one's there. It's not a town anymore. No, it's literally surrounded by fields. 200 years ago. And this old place is out there.

Mrs. Like, because she likes to take old rough-looking things and refine it. which is why she married me. I knew that was coming in. I could smell that one. You still got some work to do there. I guess this is a lifelong project. She's just in denial about her gold digger tendencies.

Oh, gosh. And now she's got you digging for gold. He's the gold digger, really. She's out there, and I'm out there with a hole dug, and I'm looking. When she was driving by on her way out, and she took a picture of me and put on social media, he's always hunting something.

Well, that's true. It was true. It was genius. And that one picture launched where now this has become real. There are cameras back in the yard. Let's go find something. But every time camera crew show up, they can't help it. Because they look over there and they're like, oh, that's your wife.

Like you didn't know it. I mean, but they just can't help it. They got to dig into why. Take another step. How did this happen? It's a miracle. She's a gold digger or whatever. And then they want to interview her and say, well, how did Jace get started in this?

They can't help it. It was 2 o'clock in the morning and I heard a little wine and I said, what is that? And it sounded like an animal with a wine. So I got up. I'm married, don't you? And I said, but it's outside. So I walked outside in the yard. I went to a

underneath the house. There was just a block there, you know, open spot, you know, about three feet. And I finally got to there and had a flashlight. And I shined my light up in there. And there's Jace.

He was about two or three years old. It was about two. Right along this time. There's Jay's sitting there whining. I'm like, Jace, what are you doing? And if I'm not mistaken,

the dog was under there with him, Duchess, we had Duchess back then. And she was looking out for him. She was. That's what kind of dog she was. But he had gotten out of the house somehow and gotten up underneath that. He walked in his sleep or something.

Yeah. Which he had a little. There was a little bit of sleep walking back in the day, I guess. Yeah. Any kind of trouble he could cause, he would. I mean, I know he was little and probably asleep, but. So, Mom, a couple of things. So, because I still get people asking about how you're doing.

Obviously, Dad mentioned that you haven't had anything done to your list, but they look amazing. So you've totally healed from your Bobo. incident earlier this year. That's right. And it was a shock because actually when I went in that night and I looked so bad and you can verify that, right, Phil? I mean, it was like, I looked like a monster. But the surgeon who came in at St. Francis, Emergency Brin said, Ms. Kay, you're going to be shocked how well these lips will heal. And I thought he's just trying to make me feel good. I mean, you know, but I was in such shock.

You know, I never even cried with all that. Wasn't it? I didn't cry. And it was like I was really in some kind of shock. And it's not every night that you, someone shakes you at 11.30, about 11, 30, 12 o'clock at night. And I looked up and she's standing there. And she said, you might have to take me to the doctor. And I'm looking.

I said the hospital. Yeah, the hospital. I'm looking at her lips. chewed up by a dog. I mean, you know, I mean, splits like a half inch. And it lifts apart and chunks gone. And so I'm looking at her now, you know.

And I said, I figure Botox would do it, but she broke out your old Mabelene and pulled it off. Pull it off. Natural beauty, mom. I don't know. That was a miraculous healing, I think. I really do. It was great.

I couldn't believe it. One thing about you, Mom, is you're resilient. Yeah, yeah. How many accidents have I really had? When you got back from your last trip, I was like, okay, did you get hurt? I mean, my first question is, where did you get hurt? I got hurt the day before I left the day of the trip. I fell down and bruised my left knee really bad. And I didn't even tell Phil because I thought maybe it'll be healed by the time I get home.

So I was all right until I got on my all fours to get out of that bathtub, up the little bitty bathtub. And then I realized that one of my all fours wouldn't work. I couldn't put it down. So you're on all threes. All three kneecaps. Trap on. That's pretty bad.

Like a dog that's got to hurt legs. You're trying to get around on all threes. That's not good, my. Well, you never got out of the bathtub. It's embarrassing. Well, the old aunt is let a sleeping dog lie. That's right. But she learned a valuable lesson there.

She just leaned over Bobo to say, we're going to see you in the mind. So that's my question. Do you ever kiss them any more goodnight or did that? When they're fully awake. So you're still kissing. I still kiss him good night. But I mean, I say Bobo, Bobo. And he looks up.

And then I say, well. Wake him up before you say goodbye. You know what? That reminds me. Remember when Granny was at our house one time? And we had the big huge bathtub. I think this is when we lived on Wellspring by John and Paula. And so we put some bubbles in there because she wanted to do a bubble bath.

But then she could not get out of the bathtub because it was too slick. Yeah. So we had to drain the water and then put towels on the bottom so that she could actually get out of it. You remember when she did that when she stayed with us a couple of days? If I did, it's so traumatic now. I blocked it out of my mind. see your grandmother in the bathtub trying to help her get out. Well, that's true.

So whatever your memory of that is, I'm blocked out if I was helping. Well, I can totally relate to every bit of that, every bit of it. Well, it might have been you. Was it you or was it? It was probably me. Well, Granny stayed with us for a couple of nights. I was thinking it was Granny. Because Alan would not come in the bathroom.

I'm like, I don't know how to get her out of the bathroom. I mean, she was a pretty large woman. I probably shouldn't say this. but the most positive thing was I ate my first sardines of the year because I ate them during the duck season because if you eat them outside of a duck bun they make you gag like a lot of things but they're good for you are they really are they don't make you gag in the thank you old mother of health

Kay's telling us healthy things to eat yeah did you read that in a book here's what happened. It's that read your stagis they're not wrong but here's what happened to me When that first sardine hit the bottom, it triggered a reaction that led to an EBM. So, emergency. I got B.M. I was trying to get the E. E is emergency.

Excerabating. Well, there's no bathroom. So I went organic. But there's something kind of cool about just, you know, being out in the woods. Pooping in the woods? Yeah. What is this? Welcome.

Welcome. Welcome. Come on morning. Come on, man. I drove a long way for this. Ms. Kay, on your part, I will tell you this from just watching the action, what action I saw raising these boys. I cannot think, and these boys here may back me up or they may say no. I can't think of sons having a better mother than that woman sitting right there.

I mean, Al, I don't know how you could have, I don't know how you could have had a better mother. You see what I'm saying? I agree. That's why we're still close even now, you know, even after all these years. You remember when I did that lesson in front of the church that time, and I had the most courageous people. He had heroes in the faith and your mom was one of them. You talked about me first. Yeah, most people think, you know, because dad has been, you know, all over the world and sharing Jesus.

But I go back to that in that upbringing. If mom hadn't extended grace toward field. I mean, not only were you both embracing the grace that God gives us, but you extended grace, well, who knows what would have happened. Your daddy would have been dead at a young age. Or in prison. Oh, yeah. But, you know, Jason, that lesson, since you brought it up, you had, I remember you may

have had more, but I know three because you talked about Missy and you talked about mom, but you also talked about Lisa. And that was after Lisa and I had, our whole world had fallen apart. Obviously, her relationship, and to a certain extent, even mine, with the rest of the family was, you know, in a bad place. And so that was after all that had happened. So by Jay's, including Lisa, in that, and he talked about it, about Grace. I mean, that was a life changer for her.

I mean, you know, we were in tears, you know, the whole time Jay was doing the last year. I have been shocked, Al. How many, Ms. Kay will know. So how many total are there? We started with four sons. Then they married. And then they have, how many does this bunch, what's the number? You have no idea what the number is.

last few he's like who does this one do y'all because i'm seeing people come in and marry the great grandkids i'm like who i mean i could do the math i could go through the well so how many 40 to 50 40 to 50 50 oh you don't know either no here's what's a shocker for i never was good at math here's what's a shocker for me al it's a big group you don't know how many this yeah i've talked about you on the podcast i try to be we did a whole podcast about some argument y'all had and then jace made a list I don't even remember Wait a minute I think I'm the one that should be nervous

To be on here I mean you seem like you've got it all together He made a whole list Of rebuttals I can't remember the We do a lot of podcasts Let's move on Okay

Somebody needs to tell me What episode that is We would have to argue Jay's tell so many stories Wait a back your brother's play No I do remember I fixed the dishwasher I remember that story.

Okay, hold on. So what does the word fixed mean? Yeah, I want to hear that one. I put two cinder blocks under it was a balance issue. Let's don't go over this. It's really not that exciting. It's really not. And it's still there, though.

I still have a cinder block under my fixed dishwasher. I did an update on this story a while back. I said, are the center blocks still under the dishwasher? And he said yes. And so that shocked me because I thought that's very, un-Missy light to just leave the center blocks there. Oh, I left the house. I moved to Austin.

I have a guy, Missy, that can fix that for you. I've seen y'all's guys, Lisa. I'm not so sure. It'll be any better. It's fixed. And the center blocks are a reminder that I have a certain set of McGiver's skills. It's not my specialty. I wouldn't call it a MacGyver.

It's kind of a redneck McGiver there. He can take a toothpick and a stick of a bull. you know, bubble gum and fix a build of nuclear bomb. Oil gasket. That's more like a Jimmy Red fix, I think, what you did to that. I'm proud. So the other day, Will, we were talking on the podcast about he caused the, he said, I had the eunuch pull up the woman who knows everything on the computer.

Alexa, or Syria, I got to think about later. It could have been Syria. I don't know. Anyway, he didn't know her name. He calls her Geraldine or something. Now he forgot the name and he just makes one. He could never access it because he wouldn't know her name. He would just come up with some nickname, you know, a brandy woman or whatever.

All right, so look, I got to ask you guys about this. This is one thing that was excited about having both you all on the podcast. So obviously football is a big deal with us. We've talked about quite a bit on the podcast. And we're sort of at that place, you know, with LSU, which we'll talk more about that at a minute. But I want to know about, Mom, this was your first year in fantasy football, right? You had your own team. And the first thing I want to say is the man sitting next to me, my son, I beat him.

Well, there's three of us here. Which one is that? Which son would that be? Well, the one to my left, Willie, Boss Hog. Just use the name. Thank you. Yeah, you did beat me in the regular season. And you were crushed.

Say it like it is. And it takes me a second now. They say I used to be Jason. They say Jason and Jess. And Jace now, you're Jace. Well, that was, your husband did that. Yeah. Yeah.

And mine too. But one year, more kids were named Jace than any other boy named one year during that dynasty. Do you know that, Jay's? You led the league? I mean, I'm wondering where you got that information. I read it. She read it and inquire. I'm sorry.

Was that the local paper? I only read. Did your neighbor, did Gordon tell you that? Is that, is that way? No, really, I heard that. By the way, I think it's also interesting. Kay did something impressive. She named, well, she technically named most of the quarterback.

You named all the quarterback. I named them all. It didn't have to be because I couldn't pronounce them, right? That didn't count. Okay, if you mispronounce a third of the names, did you really name them? Yeah, I did. Okay. So I had a little.

She remembered a loose association of these. He said, asked me all the starting quarterback. And I did. And you did. And then you tried to trip me and say, and what college did they play at? Well, I was this sin if you really knew, which you got zero of them right. But Kay, you're a Saints fan, right? Truly.

So what's your thinking on the Saints this year? Well, I love them. Oh, good grief. Well, I mean, besides your love, what are you thinking about their chances, their position, right now where they're at, position to strike in the playoffs. I wanted to win the Super Bowl, okay? I don't know why Atlanta beat them.

I mean, there's just things you just don't know. And I mean, they started out so slow yesterday. That was about two months ago. Yeah, so now they're in the playoffs. They actually beat them the second time they're playing. Kaye started on the Saints this year. She loves them and she wants them to win the Super Bowl. I think that's about all you need to know.

That's what reminds me of y'all because it's two fun ladies that like to go and have fun, right? That's exactly right. we're not dull and one lady told me I was so funny I should have my own show I know you are funny mom and here you are

and here you are your own our show oh I know you're in dad's spot well I'll tell you one thing I told Phil that I said well I might be overweight a little

and you know getting older but I make him laugh yeah and missing some of my lip but I make him laugh I make him laugh every day of his life he's not bored

Yeah, I'll agree with that. Jay's, at least she's unique now with her little. Yeah. Well, what's funny is Kay brought that up, but you look perfectly normal. I think so, too. I mean, really, can't even tell. We're not going to know. Nobody, if you didn't know, they never know.

I'll tell you, when I have an accident, I do it good so it can just come back perfect. Well, every time I see, you have a new bandage owner, a new bruise. Well, speaking of that, my chance. child, which child did I have that I had to take to the hospital the most times? He's right over there. That's what I'm saying. He was so accent prone. A couple of things happened to me when I was young.

I cut this eye open. And then a deer mount fell on my head. I do remember that. I don't even remember the traumatic things around three or four years old. But Jace was like, it seemed like every year it was a broken arm. It was a broken whatever. He got shot in the side of the head out of the... Well, I told you not to put your head.

over that burning trash in the barrel. You were looking for something. Played the roll of Phil will be cases. It actually shot me from about 40 yards away. We were on the basketball court. And the trash barrel was right on the other side of the basketball court. That thing went, pow, and Jay's just dropped like a sack of potato. We all started looking around.

What just happened? Yeah, it was just. And there was a little trickle of blood coming out of his temple. A freak accident. Yeah. I remember feeling kind of oozy. Well, do you remember the time? I told you not to get.

that close we were at the gym watching the basketball games no that you got that story all wrong it's uh that was a bully there and we had tried to whip the bully so we got all the guys who had any kind of courage and because this guy was like 18 in the fifth grade not really but it was he was so much bigger he kept he kept repeating and he just he was a bully and so we went out there one day and tried to whip him and that didn't work he whipped everyone on a stand in one spot just bam we walk over bam bam so then just the next few days he he was just kind of acting like a sniper and picking us off one by one and i was sitting on the top step of the bleacher and he just come up and push me off he just that that's how that see i didn't know that i thought you just was showing

how brave you were to get that close to the edge well i was close to the edge but he came up and pushed me out. So another trip to the hospital, right? I know it was three in a row, so what was number three? Most parents would say, just say no to bullying. It wouldn't say, how come you were so close to the edge? I'm like, well. Did I see him bullying?

I didn't know that. I didn't tell me that. Well, I think I told that story, but y'all didn't believe it. But it actually was true. Do you want to follow somebody around and watch them, be, be, beep, be. I mean, how interesting is that? So I was like, I mean, a show about that? I don't know about that.

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

Look at that. What did you just call me? Enigmatic. I know what it means. Let's let Jason go to Google. You shigle it. I mean, if you want to call me a name, when can we get home,

depending on the definition. Look it up, babe. I would agree. He's difficult to interpret or understand mysterious. There you go. They want to try to figure you out. They still do not have you figured out. He took the money with an enigmatic smile.

There you go. Hey, you're so mysterious. They're trying to. They've been trying to figure out Jason's dynasty. They want to figure it out. You remember that? I've noticed two things that developed out of age between the husband and the wife. I've noticed two things in my particular case.

Going into the 70s, I've become quieter. Miss Kay has become louder. Well, I finally got to talk after all these years. I don't know the meaning of behind it, but I'm much quieter. I think you found your roar, okay? I did. Tell us about your mindset because I really think there's a good parallel between Sarah's mindset because you remind Dad was right.

You remind us a lot of the description like in First Peter III and other of the kind of woman she was, that quiet, gentle spirit, the one that loves her husband. So what was your mindset when that was going on? I mean, it had to be hard. We were kids, so we didn't really know what was happening. Well, it was very hard. But what I'd seen before, what I thought, when I thought he'd be a coach and a teacher and that, right, he didn't. And he put us there to a worst place, you know, up in Junction City.

And, you know, then we moved to Farmville, basically him running from the law, like Jesse James or something. and, you know, then from there to come here, because I had a job here. Right. And then when he said all that, you know, I was like, really, I was scared, but I knew that when he became a Christian, then he's got to do right. And I knew he would because God would be in him. She had about a two-year time frame because I was at OCS at the time. That's right.

You still taught it for us. So I got on my feet. Right. The fact that you were a coach and a teacher is almost hard to get my mind. Can you imagine kids coming in there and there's like, here's your teacher? He was my homeowner teacher. Yeah, but it was a couple of years there of that teaching at Washington. I said, I'll teach you the Christian school.

I said because they're good. I told her one time, this is leading up to the speech I gave her about find a place on the river. And here's what I want to do. But leading up to that, around Christian kids, I told her one time, I said, I'll tell you this. I had taught in the public school at Junction City back in my wild days. I looked at those children. When I started teaching that Christian school, I said, I'll give them this. I said, this Jesus thing, that's when I was getting on my feet.

I said, I know one thing, it produces very good children. I said, these are the best kids I've ever been around. I said, they're kind, they're not belligerent, they're. They're really good kids. But anyway, what came out of that is the day I reached in my pocket. And the exact way, I remember it. I showed her that duck call. I said, you see this duck call right here?

And she said, yeah. I said, here's what I want to do. You find me a place on the river. Now, she's standing there. She's looking at me. I said, find me a place on the river. I'm getting out of the school teaching business. We're an apartment, by the way, in town.

Yeah. A little apartment. A little apartment. I said school teaching it tops out at about $40,000 a year if you're lucky. Not there, but... Yeah, I said, so... Yeah, you didn't get married. I was getting $150 a week at the time.

I said, let's see, $150 a week. $150 a week, so that's $600 a month. I said, I have these children. I said, you know, I mean, my own kids, I said, find me a place on the river. And I said, here's the way to work. I'll fish the river and we'll sell the fish. We will survive.

It will be survival mode. And we will break every child. labor law. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we'll break child labor law, the whole work. And don't call OSHA. I said, somehow I'll get this duck call.

You see this duck call? I said, this thing sounds just like a duck. I said, I will get this on the market. And I said, you will have that long green, here's where I put it, that long green in your pocket. I said, if you'll do this. I said, but I'm going to need a place on the river. If we want to leave, we can leave in the dead or night and go all the way the gut from Mexico. No lake.

I said, it's got to go. to be a river that flows. What's crazy is that when you got to this point, we're right outside. Yeah, right here at the hill. We're right here. I said, find me a place where if we want to leave in the middle of the night. We can. And I said, the duck calling, when it gets going, I said, Ms. Kay, I'm telling you, this will work.

She said, she paused for about a three count. One, two, three. And she's looking at me. And she was thinking. And she's, her exact words were, let's do it. I said, And I said, I hope we won't starve to death. You forgot that.

She found, yeah, she said, I hope we won't starve the death. I said, we'll hard time to be there. I said, but look, we'll weather the thing. The Lord's with us. So anyway, she found this place where we're seated right now, and now it's been 40 years ago. You get a lot of fish. Now, we pulled it off with God's help, but it didn't take.

But somebody said, well, how long it takes to go from poor to quit selling fish and get rich? I said, about 40 years. 40 years. It was a 40-year plan. But he didn't tell something else. Tell it. We had money. We had to get money to start the business.

Who provided that? Sister Robertson. My boss, where I worked, went hunting with him and saw him fixing everybody's duck calls. And he knew. He saw me calling in ducks. He did. He wasn't fixing the duct. He was commanding.

But if I hadn't worked for him. True. Okay. I just want to say I had something to do it. So did you, you did it, Mom. So because you were the ones kind of, you were putting everything together. Dad had the big vision. So did you put the deal together?

She put it together. Granny and Paul came down. And my understanding was they put up the down payment for the loan, right? And then you, y'all would pay the note because they were retiring. So did you put that together? How did that come about? Pretty well. Well, when they called and I told her we were fixing to buy them,

this place and it had an extra two houses with it. And then that's what she said, that's what we'd like to do right on the room. Because they were in Arizona. But she said, we don't want to put it in our name. We just want to give you the money to get it. And then we'll stay there as long as we want to. Remember the original, the selling price of the whole place? 29,000.

Seven acres of land. Seven acres landed, two houses. Two houses. But you got to remember. And Ma and Paul put up $5,000 so we could get it. We paid the note, which was how much a month? Well, remember this is 1970s. This is not the business.

This is the house. $168 a month. But you got to remember one phrase. And interest rate was about 20% of the time. Well, but you think about it. That's when old. Jimmy Carter was in there and it got up to 20%. Oh, it was 20% interest.

She did all of that, which tells you she's the woman. And what's the ecclesiastity? No, it's a proverb third. Proverbs 31. That's exactly what she turned out. She really was behind the, because dad, which is why I compared it to this moment, because to me, it was your Abraham and Sarah moment. I mean, it was the moment to go.

Her boss said, how much will it take when I came to him? She said, go to Mr. Brazier. And he's my boss. Baxter Brazier. Yeah, Baxter Brazier said, he said he's got it all worked out. Just go see him. So I went up there. I said, well, Ms. Kay said that you had backed me on his loan.

I said, you know, you understand. you'll have to lose his money. I said, there's a potential you'll lose it. I said, I don't think. And he said, you're going to build duck calls? I said, I'm going to build duck calls, but I need an investment to get equipment. I have no money. Yeah, I have no money.

He said, take this paper paste, but he kind of whistle. He put a piece of paper. He said, take this piece of paper to the bank. And when they say, you want how much? I said, $25,000. I can get into business, $25,000. He said, go tell the banker that. Take this piece of paper with you.

And when they ask for collateral, that's when you hand them the paper. Just walk in, say, I want $25,000. When they ask you, Mr. Robinson, do you have any collateral? I said, he said, the paper is your collateral. That's me. I had heard this. Oh, yeah. So I went in there and I said, told them, I said, where's the head of this outfit?

And the secretary looked around like, what? I said, where is the? He looked worse. Whose head honcho around here? That's hard to believe. That's a good. I can't remember his name. Can you remember his name?

It was the guy at the bank, Regent's Bank. Yeah, Campbell. Yeah, Campbell. George Campbell was his name. George Campbell. He's back there, you know. And we went to his secretary and just stood there and told her we wanted to meet with him. And she hadn't because of our church.

You didn't remember that. There's the positive sign. Yeah. And we said, well, you all you can go over there and sit down. And we said, can we just stand here by your desk? I mean, we felt like, well, that's a Christian. Maybe that'll help us. And, you know, we...

It was a little dicey because she was a little, you know, hesitant. And I said, I need to see the prayers of the outfit. So she gets us... If they all be nice here, they thought the chances that they would ever get that... Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right. So anyway, I go back here and Campbell sitting there, and we talked it over. He said, how much do you need?

I said, 25,000. He said, do you have any collateral just like Mr. Brazier and said and I got the paper and I handed it to him and his first reaction was whatever that girl's name was the secretary can you bring us some coffee I thought I'm in this is going to happen bring us some coffee you're good he saw Brazier had plenty of money to shuck out the 25,000 he said this old guy he ain't going anywhere but this guy thinks he will I went to the Bible and studied how many times it's it it talks about God comparing, finding us as lost, and the reason Jesus hung out with the riffraff,

and there's so much about treasure and where your heart is, there your treasure will be also. And I just, I thought, you know what? I mean, this may sound coy, but I thought if there's that much in there about the Bible and how it relates, I'm going to go give this a try. But, you know, like, that's an analogy, because, you know, God and Jesus are using those stories as an analogy to what the real treasure is. And so that's why when we started talking about how to do this, I was like, it's got to be, you know, for a lack of a better word, deeper than just finding the treasure in the ground. Like, let's find out like the treasure is there because

somebody made it for a certain purpose hundreds of years ago or whatever. And then let's see, what does the people, what were they doing during that time and how were they living? What were the relationships like and what was going on here? And then to maybe be able to flush that out a little bit and try to get those relationships to be honored and that time in history to be honored for the good without ignoring the bad because there's some bad history we all know but how what's the way that we can do that and I love that that's why I love the place that we bought because it was built in 1847 by hand so you're digging in the yard and I'm looking at the the hand sawn boards and everything that's going on in

inside the house because I think those are beautiful and I want to see like what was going on here. I would love to know what was going on here. What was the family doing? And so I think that both of those aspects on a show are going to be amazing. How would Phil sound just reading the bulletin? And that's where the idea came. I always know Phil's getting excited when he starts making two syllable words out of one syllable words. Ferry. It's free. Feree. Feree. Okay, y'all remember this time We were off somewhere doing the interviews With the people in the morning

You know, the morning, some kind of show Yeah, well, you want to fill the gaps And yeah, that was the NBC today show Third Hour Hoda And Kathy Lee And then it's only Phil and sigh And they're interviewing them And then Phil goes into that whole thing about you

Everybody was saying We were all sitting there It's something that I haven't been able to get out of my memory. Well, I forgot. She said how has reality TV change your life? And Phil said, hey, if you come down. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The question was, so Phil, I hear you have dogs.

Because they think that's safe. That's like a safe place to go. Because they're real, that was the question was Phil. So you guys work with dogs, right, thinking it's going to be, yeah, we have Labrador Retrievers. They're trying to avoid all the controversy. We love that right. This is a softball, like on a tee. You got the bat.

You got some dogs. And that was the question. Let's talk about dogs. To which Phil replied, yeah, Kathy Lee, that's the first line of defense, which everybody looked like, now why would you refer to your dog as the first line of defense? if anyone comes to our property wanting to rape or pillage, specifically remember the rape or molest, or pillage or molest, our women, our people, or our stuff, they will be greeted by the barking and gnashing of the teeth of our animals, followed by a hail of gunfire

like no human being has ever seen. It will rain down from the heavens. And Zah was like amening. Remember? He was like, yeah. And Zah's just getting all like. Amen. Yes.

Size getting really excited about this hell of, this apocalyptic hell of gunfire. And so Kathy Lee then responds, whoa, that got weird. She said Bible study just did a, you turn with Smith and Wesson. And then Phil says, I mean, And Si says, yeah, if you want a Bible study or a gunfight, Jack, we'll give you either one.

That was all on the question of, so I hear you work with dogs. But remember when we got back in the car and then Willie would start it up? And then we were in another place. We were in two vehicles. I remember looking back at the publicist who lines all that up and she was on the floor. She had just lost all. She had curled up in the fetal position. Yeah, she had fallen on the floor.

Remember how big Coda and. Hoda. Hoda. I heard somebody in one of their mic ears say, we need a commercial break. Oh, break to anything. Cut. It was live TV.

We did it even when we were on the plane. Well, then all the way home, Willie was still talking about it. And we're still talking about it. That was years ago. And we're not doing any more morning shows either. So we haven't been invited back. For some reason, they quit inviting that onto the Today Show.

Well, there's a thing about the audience. I'm not sure of the audience of Kathy. Lee and Hoda at 10 o'clock on a weekday morning, but it's probably not the audience that's wanting to hear hell of gunfire. Dogs, attacking people's right, eating people's legs if you're wanting to rape or pillage like we're viking. We can't even say that now without every one of us laughing.

Well, and Dad got the most tickle when Willie was doing it in the car. I mean, we get on the plane. Dad was the most tickle. He was kind of kidding. I mean, we're all jokes aside. He's kind of kidding, but not really. But people, if you don't know him and you look at him and you hear this, you're thinking, this guy's nuts.
